When writing a letter to the landlord, format and content of the letter depend on the purpose of the letter. Ensure that your reasons for writing the letter are clear to the landlord. You may write a letter when demanding repairs, disputing deductions from the security deposit or withholding rent.Continue Reading
When writing a letter during the end of a lease, ensure it includes your decision on whether you are moving out or renewing the lease to continue renting the property on a monthly basis, explains FindLaw. A letter is a professional way to inform the landlord of any issues or complaints. In the letter, you may state the actions that will ensue if the landlord ignores or fails to address the issues raised in the letter. Prioritize the concerns in the letter, including the most important and pressing ones while excluding the less important issues, states the Tenant Resource Center.
Ensure that you keep a clear record of every correspondence with your landlord including all phone calls and emails, recommends Michigan Tenant Counseling Program. The letter should be brief and free of any grammatical errors to avoid confusion or misinterpretation, states the Tenant Resource Center.Learn more about Business Communications

Doppelgänger website will help you find your look-alike anywhere in the world
The population of the world is currently at an astronomical 7.3 billion people. So it makes perfect sense that somebody, a total stranger who lives somewhere far away from you, is walking around and living life looking exactly like you with almost identical features. How cool would it be to actually come face to face with your lookalike and maybe even become best friends with your international doppelgänger? Up until now, only a chance meeting could make something like that possible, but a new Irish website for those wanting to find their long-lost stranger twins is changing all that.
Just recently, two men named Robert Stirling and Neil Douglas met for the first time on a routine flight from London to Galway, Ireland. Meeting a stranger on a flight is nothing new, but how these men look makes the story special. When Neil moved from his original seat to let a couple sit together, he looked at the man sitting next to him in his new seat and could't believe his eyes. The man glanced at Neil, and he couldn't believe his eyes either. It was like they were looking at their own reflections in a mirror! Right away, the two became friends, even taking a selfie, which quickly went viral, on the plane. As fate would have it, they even ran into each other at a pub in Galway later that night and had a toast to their identical faces and newly found friendship.
Robert and Neil had the experience of a lifetime, but their meeting was pure luck, a random coincidence that brought their lives together. People all over the world read their story and surely wondered who in the world looks exactly like them, too. I've pondered that myself — is there another Danny Kichi out there, someone who would do a double take when he saw my face because I looked like his identical twin? And now, because our world is so connected with the universality of social media, we can actively go on a search for our long-lost stranger twins. The website that will connect you to your doppelgänger is https://twinstrangers.net, an Irish site that will "find your lookalike from anywhere in the world." The process is pretty simple. You upload your photo, select your facial features, see people who have done the same, and all you have to do is connect. For $3.95, your profile will be up on the website for six months. If you're lucky, you may find your lookalike who's been looking for you too and maybe even come face to face with them someday, which will definitely be a meeting you'll both never forget.

Dating Sites - Internet Connections
By: Joseph Devine |
As the amazing advances in telecommunications make instant communication ever easier, we are experiencing a strange paradox. Why is it that we are more able to communicate with people on a mass level, but have a harder and harder time communicating on a personal level? As websites like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace become more and more ubiquitous, we tend to have fewer and fewer meaningful personal relationships, and have a harder time connecting with people. Surely there has to be some sort of solution.

One in six dog bite hospital admissions in North West
One in six hospital admissions for dog bites in England were in the North West of England, according to a health report.
Primary care trust data from The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) shows 123 cases in Liverpool and 82 in Manchester in the past year.
It also revealed the highest level per 100,000 people was 21.6 in the North East and 17.5 in Yorkshire and Humber.
Admissions were lowest on the South East coast at 5.1 per 100,000 people.
The figures show the highest number of admissions for an individual primary care trust was Oxfordshire, with 158 admissions.
Earlier this year parents whose children were killed by dogs took a petition to Downing Street calling for action to prevent attacks.
Preventative measures
Jade Anderson, 14, was mauled to death by four dogs at a friend's home near Wigan in March and John Paul Massey, four, was killed in Liverpool in 2009.
Relatives handed a 4,500-signature petition to the Prime Minister urging preventative measures and education.
Liverpool Wavertree MP Luciana Berger said: "These local figures are a stark sign that much more needs to be done to tackle the 210,000 dog attacks that happen across England every year.
"Too many families have lost loved ones to dog attacks and thousands of people are being hospitalised with long-term consequences. The government needs to act urgently.
"They should introduce measures that will prevent these tragedies from happening in the first place, such as Dog Control Notices which experts are calling for.
"It's time the government stopped just talking tough and took the proper action that is clearly needed."
Plastic surgeon Christian Duncan, from Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, said: "About 50% of injuries involve the head or neck or hands and can be absolutely devastating."
He said it was important to look after dogs responsibly near children.

FSpaceRPG is a science fiction roleplaying game in the classic mould.

Pitted against the onslaught of the expansion of the Stotatl Empire, humanity must defend itself while forging alliances with others who face absorption. Whether you're a Terran soldier or an Aronhi Warrior from the partially conquered Aronhi Empire, one goal stands supreme above all, survival. The wits and courage to stand and fight against superior odds and create victories from difficult situations. But not all the glory lies in the hands of warriors. Exploration of the vast wilderness that is space, charting dangers, finding resources and contacting potential allies is a cornerstone of survival.
The conflict, intrigue, action and adventure of these times provide an exciting roleplaying environment for players, whether they like playing space marines, traders, spies, investigators or just general adventure seekers. The span of events in reality are all possible, giving a wide scope of play.
If you don't like flying around the cosmos as a British Royal Space Marine then you could always visit a primitive society and face the challenge of worlds filled with mystery, fantasy and danger.
The FSpaceRPG Concise Rulebook is an adaptation of the printed 232 page rulebook with all the core rules for running this role-playing game as well as plenty of information on the universe. Now includes a full range of tools to assist your gaming experience.

If the title of this game sounds familiar, don't worry you are correct in that assumption. For those of you who follow our Weekend Coder series these articles are dedicated to providing useful information to native developers. One of the examples used for demonstrating a native UI/UX was for a number puzzle game called Double Up. While this may have been inspired by "Threes" and "2048" by no means does it play the same way.
The board and number tiles may resemble Threes but the level of difficulty supersedes that of the others, at least in my opinion. I always enjoy a good puzzle game and this one keeps things interesting. The object of the game is to combine numbers by swiping them (in either direction) into the each other, either using the wall or a non-matching number that is touching a wall. After each swipe, new numbers appear on the board from the opposite direction. Your goal is to continue combining pairs of numbers, which add up to a higher number tile, as fast as you can before the board fills up and you run out of moves. Basically, it's all about maneuvering the board so that not only must you combine these like numbers but make sure there is enough room to do so, all while getting the highest score possible. This is not an easy task as by the time high numbers there are probably very few free spaces left.
Speaking of high scores, Scoreloop integration shows you the online leaderboard populated with the current all-time rankings or 24-hour scores. Personally, I have not even yet reached Brian's highest score, yet I find it perplexing how forums member and developer SCrid2000 has a score of 1406. It is definitely one I am going to try to beat and I challenge you to do the same.
This combination of matching and strategy makes for not only a challenging game but a good time waster as well. My playing time is mostly relegated to my long commuter rides on the train. I find myself devoting the entire trip trying to come up with a game plan that nets me the highest score possible.
Double Up offers a clean and refined interface, a custom UI whereby you swipe between menu pages and the graphics are easy on the eyes. If you are looking for an enjoyable diversion from the daily grind then this is worth paying $1.99 for. There is also a free version available to download as well with ads. Players may also share the screenshot of their final score which is the reason why it asks for shared files and capture screen permissions when loaded.

What is the name of the bacterium that causes lyme disease how is lyme disease transmitted?
A: lyme disease is caused by a group of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. It is transmitted by ticks (deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe)....
What is lyme disease and how can it be found in your system?
A: lyme disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash called erythema migrans. Infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks. Most cases of lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. Steps to prevent lyme disease include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, landscaping, and...
how long does it take a tick infected with lyme disease to transmit the disease?
A: not long just the bite can be enough Depends on the species of tick. The deer tick can transmit within 24 hrs. If you find an engorged deer tick on you you are in trouble! Lone Star ticks which are common in the Southeastern states and moving on up north can transmit lyme & several types of Erhlichia in less than 2 hours. Those guys do not engorge either. They just quickly clamp on and start feasting. People have saved themselves from lyme by removing the tick correctly and cleaning the bite area immediately with lots of alcohol and then Neosporin on it for several days. as long as it takes the tick to bite you. The Yellow Belly Tick...yea, I know all about it. It can bite and you can start feeling aches and pain within 48 hours
lyme disease and bruising
A: Hi, Karen.... It COULD be lyme disease or it could be one of the co-infections. lyme disease can cause platelet problems which would result in bruising and so can some of the other micro-organisms that can be transmitted along with lyme. Here"s an example of what Erhlichiosis can do (I copied and pasted it from another site. It mentions decreased platelet cound under signs and tests): Erhlichiosis is an infectious disease transmitted by the bite of a tick. Causes, incidence, and r
I was bitten by a tick. Am I going to get lyme disease?
A: i don''t think that everyone who has ever been bitten by a tick has gotten lymes You might. What part of the country are you in? Yep, you''re dead. If you are worried, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. I know that there is a certain way to get a tick out of your skin to lessen your chances of getting infected. You should ensure that you did it properly. You may also want to search the web for symptoms of lyme disease and be on the lookout for these symptoms just in case. My younger cousin had lyme disease many years ago when it first surfaced. He almost died. It''s a serious thing, so please don''t take it lightly. ok, here
how likely is a person bit by a tick to get lyme disease?
A: Hi, Rusell.... You are wise to question lyme disease after the experiences you just described. The length of time a tick is on you doesn"t have any bearing on whether it transmits lyme disease or not. In a clinical (laboratory) setting, the transmission time is supposedly 36 hours, however, that doesn"t take into account human activity. This includes sitting, restrictive clothing, sleeping, etc. All of these activities cause the tick to inject the cesspool of bacteria and parasites into your bloodstream. The fact that...
lyme Disease - Its Cyclical Nature & Severe Daily Headaches
A: Hi, Molly... Yes, it does sound like lyme and it would have been very comforting for you to have positive test results, but the tests for lyme are notorious for yielding false negatives. Your thoughts and instincts about lyme are most likely correct. Also, you did not say if the lyme dr. tested you for any co-infections which are other organisms that are transmitted at the time of the bite. They can share many of lyme"s same symptoms BUT they do not all respond to the same antibiotics. Here is a list of reasons for lyme testing yielding false negative results: ...
lyme disease in toddlers
A: Hi, Bonnie... I"ll follow this up with a symptoms list. The symptoms are many and your child certainly is not old enough to verbalize them so it"s hard to tell what he/she may be going through. The long range symptms of untreated lyme disease are serious. They can be severe mental problems, neurological problems, heart problems or all of those. Not treating it is not an option. The longer it is left untreated, the more severe the symptoms become and the more difficult it is to treat. Besides lyme, there are co-infections that can be transmitted. These can have...
how do you visually detect if a tick bite has caused lyme disease infection?
A: The real Dx is not made visually. Go to a licensed provider. You can''t always visually detect it. I''ve had both lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (I like the outdoors and we live in the woods). When I had lyme disease, there was a red bulls eye mark around the bite. however, I have known people to get the disease without the rash, so you can''t always be sure. Two major symptoms I had with both diseases were headaches and fatigue. If you even suspect you may have it, go to the doctor and get it tested. Do not wait around...things...
lyme disease-YOU'LL BE JUST FINE!
A: Dear Jo, Thanks so much for your e-mail. I had a stint in the hospital for awhile and now I?m playing catch up. Please forgive me for not getting back with you sooner, I always answer same day. Anyhow, let?s get to whats important, which is your questions. It sounds like you do have lyme from what you wrote. In order to rid yourself of lyme you have to sicker then you were before you started anti-biotics. Its called Herxing and I won?t lie to you, it can be really hard to go through. Your young and you?ll get through it just fine. Most people don?t remember getting a tick bite or even having a rash, so don?t worry you and your parents are on the right track. Tell your parents that it?s...

My mother invites my family to eat on Thanksgiven day after her guess are gone because she doesn't want to waste the food. Is it permissable for my family to go to her home or eat the food left from her dinner?
That is permissible, because food is respectable and pure, and that is better than throwing it away. It is permissible to eat the food of the Christians because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them"
[al-Maa'idah 5:5]
So there is nothing wrong with that. Their bread, their food, and whatever dishes and sweets etc they cook are all good and pure, and there is nothing wrong with them. But if the food has been made for that celebration, it is not permissible to be there at the time of the party, but after the party it is permissible to eat the food and that is better than throwing it away.

An international movement landed in NYC this morning as a small group of women carried their young children inside the building that houses Facebook's NYC office, demanding that the social networking giant leave their breastfeeding photos alone.
The "nurse-in" was planned after Vancouver mom Emma Kwasnica launched an online campaign, calling on Facebook to stop deleting images of mothers nursing their children. Kwasnica said Facebook removed her photos numerous times, despite the company's claim that it does not delete images unless they show an exposed breast that is not being used for feeding.
The group of moms who attended the NYC "nurse-in" insist that even though the photos are acceptable by Facebook's
Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, they are continually removed. They met in the lobby of 335 Madison Avenue, the building where Facebook
operates on two floors. The small contingent was first asked to leave but later returned to the lobby where security allowed them to stay. The moms nursed their children and chanted lines like, "Facebook, Facebook, don't be mean -- breastfeeding is not obscene."
"People view breasts as this sexual thing," said Wendy Ledesma, an Astoria mom who has a 17-month-old son. "We need to get over that as a society and realize that breastfeeding is normal, natural, beautiful and important."
No one from Facebook came downstairs to address the moms, but a spokesperson blamed the deleted photos on human error. Each photo that gets flagged as offensive is reviewed by an employee who then decides whether the photo will be deleted and the user's account frozen.
"Facebook receives hundreds of thousands of reports every week, and as you might expect, occasionally we make a mistake and remove a piece of content we shouldn't," a Facebook spokesperson told Metro. "When this happens, we work quickly to address it by apologizing to the people affected and making any necessary changes to our processes to ensure the same type of mistakes do not continue to be made. We encourage people to re-upload the photos they believe were removed in error."
The movement has garnered the support of thousands of people across the globe. Emma Kwasnica organized the worldwide protests after she said many of her own photos were deleted and that Facebook continues to delete the photos of other breastfeeding moms.
"We have the legal right to breastfeed anywhere," Kwasnica said over the phone from San Francisco. "If someone tells us to cover up, which is what Facebook is doing, that's harassment. You should never discriminate against women who are trying to do the best for their kids."
Kwasnica said she believes Facebook employees are "running rogue" and deleting images based on their own personal sensitivity rather than the established photo guidelines. The images have also sparked debate within the court of public opinion over whether or not it's appropriate to share breastfeeding photos on social networks. Critics of the movement claim breastfeeding should be kept private. For others, it depends on how much of the breast or nipple is visible in the photos.
"Showing the aureola, that's between the mother and the child," said Nathaniel Harris of The Bronx. "That part of the breast shouldn't be shown. People of all ages could be looking at it."
"It's just the natural thing and if people don't want to look at those photos, don't look at them," said Sarah Milcetic, an Astoria mom who attended this morning's nurse-in. "People feel very nervous when they see someone breastfeeding because they haven't been exposed to it enough. I think that if it was around more and not covered up, it would just be easier for it to be part of normal life."

There have been many interpretations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics with the latest taking a modern twist but keeping the humor of the original 1980s series that most people remember growing up watching. Its easy to see how fans were upset with the changes in the material after the movie was announced, but to me the franchise has always been changing through the years so its hard to judge if it truly follows the 1984 black and white comics or any of its past incarnations.
All I can say is that anyone thinking of watching TMNT should have an open mind accepting that it won't be exactly as you may remember it. There have been many versions of TMNT that came before and may soon be more after this reboot.
The origins of the movie remain the same as many of its past versions. New York is under siege by the nefarious Foot Clan under its leader called the Shredder. A young aspiring reporter named April O'Neil (Megan Fox) investigates the Foot and sees their plans being thwarted by some mysterious vigilantes who turn out to be mutant turtles who are teenagers and ninjas!
The film comes from Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes and directed by Jonathan Liebesman, known for directing Wrath of the Titans and Battle: Los Angeles. The movie was made with a few changes, especially with the Foot Clan becoming more of a paramilitary force rather than ninjas or robots to keep it modern. Then there come the physical appearances of the turtles who appear more brute and larger than we ever imagine them to be. I have no complaints with the Turtles' appearance, it's just that they appear more like warriors than ninjas as we see them fight head on with big punches and tackles on their enemies.
The story also seems to bring all the characters together based on history. For April's character, her late father was the one who experimented on the turtles and their master Splinter along with the second antagonist Erich Sachs (William Fichtner). So the film makes it a huge coincidence that April suddenly runs into her old pets-turned-mutants.
The film does have some good parts when it comes to the humor. We see these Turtles the same way they were in the past incarnations, as brothers who tease one another and look out for each other. It was fun to see them in the sewers sliding and skating just like a bunch of teenagers.
My favorite Turtle out of the group was Michaelangelo. The laid back personality is still there, especially with his flirtatious moves on April that turns out hilarious. The nerdy Donatello, angry Raphael, and the natural leader Leonardo are exactly how anyone would picture them to be for fans of the franchise. The Turtles and the Shredder look pretty amazing based on CGI, but when the action scenes come in, it becomes a bit of a headache when they move too quickly.
Even as the Turtles are kicking butt on screen, we still get to see master Splinter fighting off more than usual against the Foot Clan and Shredder. Megan does a fine job as April keeping her curiosity in the strange and hoping to get that big story for her career. Will Arnett as Vern Fenwick the cameraman keeps the laughs going just like the animated series. Fichtner keeps the same compelling presence on screen as he does in other roles in the past.
The best part of the film to me was the action scene that took place in the snowy mountains. The Turtles are basically going downhill on their shells as they outmaneuver the Foot Clan on their trucks. This felt like a high chase that was pretty fast-paced and exciting to see. I was pretty disappointed that this was the only action scene worth noting, especially since the franchise was known for its action sequences.
In my opinion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was neither good nor bad. The film still keeps the atmosphere of the story the same and the Turtles still have their personalities in check, just their sizes can be worrisome. It was nice to see the Turtles taken out of their comfort zone in the city to the snowy terrain taking the action up a notch.

In this section I am focusing on fish for health.
The old wives' tale about fish being 'brain food' was really not so wide of the mark.
Research has proven that fish oils are beneficial to us and fish is a valuable source of low fat protein and minerals essential to human health.
Fish for health will cover the latest findings on issues surrounding seafood in your diet.
Oily fish provides essential fatty acids - it's not too hard to incorporate in your diet either - take a look at the canned fish section and ask yourself - how hard is it to open a can of salmon?
Fish is quick to cook, easy to digest, tastes good and provides valuable low fat protein and minerals - the health benefits are being brought to our attention on a regular basis.
There are such varieties as well - if you have chicken or beef, well, that's your choice isn't it - the only variation you can make is what cut to buy and how to cook it - choose fish and you have a wide variety of tastes and flavours - cow is cow, fish is anything from anchovies to yellow fin tuna - anyone know of an edible fish beginning with z?
From helping children's concentration to protecting against coronary heart disease, blindness, dementia and skin and bowel cancer - fish is beneficial to us in many ways.
Research is ongoing and our grannies were right - fish is good for you ;-)
If you have any queries on the benefits of fish in your diet, or indeed have any contribution to make in this then please get in touch via my contact page.

Rosh Hodesh Girls Group
Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! is a values-based, experiential Jewish program for pre-teen and teenage girls in grades 6-12 that strengthens self-esteem and Jewish identity. CBS currently offers groups for 6th and 7th grade girls. It is the first Jewish program to pro-actively address two well-documented trends:
- Many girls drop out of Jewish programming after Bat Mitzvah
- Girls' self-esteem plummets as they enter adolescence.
Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! draws on Jewish teachings and traditions to keep girls healthy and whole-despite the aspects of popular culture that may put them at risk.
Congregation Beth Shalom is proud to have trained leaders facilitating this program for our girls.

NOTE: The following tales are from The Lausiac History of Palladius, chapters 44-45:
Chapter XLIV
There was a certain monk," he said, "who lived in the nearer desert, keeping every proper discipline and working for his daily bread. After he had persevered for a long time in prayer and grown in virtue he began to trust in himself alone and in the beauty of his own settled life. The tempter then began to try him as he tried Job, and one evening showed him the image of a beautiful woman wandering in the wilderness. Finding the door open she came right in to his cell, knelt at his feet and begged to be allowed to stay, overtaken as she was by the night. He took pity on her and let her in, which he ought not to have done.
"A further mistake was to question her closely. She told him a long story, sprinkled with all sorts of flattery and falsehood, and spun out the conversation at great length. Little by little, she somehow enticed him on to thoughts of love. They chattered together, laughing and giggling. The way she talked fascinated him; she began to hold his hand, his beard, his neck, and finally captivated this athlete completely. His mind was in a turmoil, a safe opportunity of pleasure was presenting itself, the deed was as good as done, and he gave consent in his mind to all these thoughts. He tried to have intercourse with her like a foolish horse breaking out wildly in search of a mare. She suddenly cried out with a loud voice and vanished out of his hands, as nothing but a sort of shadow. The crowd of demons who had deceived him could now be heard in the air mocking him and laughing, and crying with a loud voice, '"He who exalts himself will be humiliated" (Luke 14.11). You were once lifted up into heavenly things, so now will you be cast down into the lowest depths.'
"He spent the night weeping, got up in the morning and continued to lament the whole day through. Despairing of his own salvation (which he ought not to have done) he went back to the world. This is what the devil wants. As soon as he makes a mock of anyone he reduces him to a foolishness from which it is not possible to escape. Wherefore, my sons, it is not good for us to live near the towns, nor to converse with women, lest images of them stay in your mind which you cannot get rid of, images which have been put there by what you have seen and heard. But neither should we let our minds be weighed down, driving us into despair, for those who do not lose hope will not be deprived of the mercy of the merciful God."
Chapter XLV
There was a certain young man in the city who had done many evil things and sinned gravely. He began to be sorry for his sins, inspired by God, and went into a graveyard where he fell on his face, weeping for his past life, speechless, not daring so much as to call upon God to ask pardon, so little did he estimate his life to be worth. So having shut himself up in a tomb and faced up to the sort of life he had been leading, he groaned from the depths of his being. At the end of a week the demons who had been leading his former life into damnation came shouting at him by night.
"Where is this profane wretch, sated with lust and pleasure-seeking, who now suddenly pretends to be honest and moderate in this untimely manner? Has he got beyond it? Does he now want to be a Christian, with upright and clean habits? As if you could expect anything good to become of you in future, stuffed full as you are with the wickedness we have given you. You are going to get out of here quickly, aren't you, and return to what we are accustomed to give you. There are lots of brothels and taverns left for you yet. Will you not come and indulge your desires, since there is no other hope left for you? Doubtless judgment will come swiftly, but you are destroying yourself. Why rush madly towards your own punishment? Why are you so intent on being punished before the due time?"
They said much more. "You belong to us. You are enrolled in our company. You are familiar with every kind of wickedness. We all find you disgusting, but will you dare to flee? Aren't you going to listen to us? Won't you answer? And come away with us as well?"
He just kept weeping, shutting his ears, replying never a word, however much the demons kept on at him. When they saw that all their continued urgings were having no effect these wicked and disgusting demons took him and laid about him heavily with whips, beating every inch of his body. When they had finished their torment they went away leaving him half dead. He lay where they had left him, unable to move more than anything else. He came to his senses and began groaning again.
When his family came to look for him and learned the reason for what had happened to his body they begged him to return home, but he refused, even when they tried to force him. The next night the demons tormented him again worse than before. To prevent his relations persuading him to go back home they kept telling him that it would be better to die than return to his former sinful ways. On the third night they invaded him with such cruel torments that they pushed him to the limits of endurance and nearly made him give up the ghost. But they saw that he would not give in and they departed leaving him lifeless. As they went they cried, "You have won, you have won, you have won."
No further harm came to him. For the rest of his life he dwelt simply in that tomb, cleansed of all evil, displaying nothing but pure virtue. He was very precious in the sight of God for his virtues and for the miracles that he did, for he led many to admire him and awakened their zeal to emulate the integrity of his way of life. Thus it came about that many of those who had given up hope for themselves were led into doing good things, and conducted their lives properly. In them the Scripture was fulfilled, 'He who humbles himself will be exalted.' (Luke 24.11).
So let us practise humility, my sons, the foundation of all virtues. A long spell of solitude at a distance also brings many benefits.
Numerous other cautionary tales about monks and nuns who fell into delusion or fornication are found in The Lausiac History:

Every year after Bike To Work Month has come and gone, the good folks at Tampa BayCycle hold an after-party/awards ceremony for participants. This year, as with last year, the party was held at Splitsville at the Channelside Bay Plaza in downtown Tampa — Splitsville is an upscale combination bar/restaurant/pool hall/bowling alley…in short, a FANTASTIC place to have a party!
I was there with my family to cover the event for Bikecommuters.com and also to receive my award (and also to eat free pizza, suck down a couple beers and play some pool…it's how I roll!). There was a table full of swag and assorted prizes for award-winners, many of them donated by Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium, one of the most commuter-friendly and professional bike shops I've ever patronized. Big winners came away with NiteRider MiNewt headlight sets, while "individual challenge" winners could choose from new helmets, U locks, blinkie sets and other goodies.
Jim Shirk, dedicated Tampa Bay-area bicycle advocate and good friend to all cyclists, was recognized by Tampa BayCycle as "Bicycle Advocate of the Year", a title he richly deserves. Jim gave a brief speech after accepting his award. Here he is getting his "trophy" from Gena Torres, chairperson of the Hillsborough County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Right behind them is Julie Bond, longtime friend of Bikecommuters.com and a formidable advocate in her own right:
This year, I received two awards…one for recruiting others to participate in Bike To Work Week and one for participating in the "Individual Challenge" by riding 4 out of the 5 days during that week. Here's my boy holding up my certificate…a boy quite proud of his bike-ridin' Daddy:
In addition to the certificate, I scored a new Kryptonite U lock and a Planet Bike front/rear blinkie set; both will be very useful for continuing our car-lite lifestyle. My wife even won a raffle, securing a Cateye wireless cyclocomputer for her bike…she's always winning cool stuff at any event she attends!
Here's a complete list of the winners (as provided by Tampa BayCycle's website):
Individual Challenge (most miles):
1st Paul Kavan, Individual, 160 Miles
2st John Walker, Individual, 158.3 Miles
3nd Tom Krumreich, Individual, 132 Miles

Everyone had a great time — we all shared stories, talked about bikes and enjoyed each others' company. I'm really pleased that Tampa BayCycle does this for local riders…it demonstrates their commitment to bicycle advocacy in our area and gives us a nice, warm feeling of appreciation for our efforts.

Body & Blood by Amanda Havard
Publisher: Chafie Press
Published Date: July 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal
The Story: How many answers you seek are just a part of you, waiting to be found?
The game has changed.
Fresh from her first brush with mortality, a fragile Sadie Matthau is playing human with Cole Hardwick while the Survivors endure unimaginable tragedy. Wrought with the first deaths of their own kind, a tyrant who will torture them, and an opponent more terrifying than anyone could have foreseen, the Survivors are facing their end.
Told from three points of view, The Survivors: Body & Blood is a bloodcurdling, mind-bending, heart-stopping ride. As Sadie and the Winters uncover more enemies, more history, and more answers, they find themselves brought closer together and ripped further apart. And all the while, a haunting Alexander Raven lurks at the edge of Sadie s lifeline, at the darkening fringes of her mind.
As the Survivors descend into chaos, Sadie realizes a painful truth: the deepest of secrets leave the darkest of marks.
Caught between a terrifying fantasy and her own grim reality, Body & Blood is the story of Sadie's dance with her demons, future, past, and present.
My Review: I love paranormal!! Body & Blood is the third book in The Survivors series. The first book Survivor starts us off during the Salem Witch trials, and shows a much darker side to it. 26 children exiled in the west, only 14 survive. Those 14 call themselves survivors and work on creating families. Then comes Sadie, one survivor who isn't content with staying at the city. During Point of Origin she learns about where the survivors came from, and other supernatural beings.
Now in Body & Blood, all supernatural beings must fight to survive. Sadie has learned the truth behind her origins, and still desperately wants to be just human. I love watching the emotions each character has, and their interactions with each other. We see good and bad, and hope so much that the good really does win out. There's so much going on in this book, and when it ends, oh man, I was wishing book four was out. I know there has to be a book 4, because there's no way Amanda Havard would end the series with us hanging on, wondering what's going to happen to Sadie, Everett, Cole and the other characters we've grown to love, or hate (as in Alexander Raven, and John's case.)
If you're looking for something different in the paranormal world, pick up The Survivors series!
Character Interview with Sadie:
If you could invite any 5 people to dinner who would you choose?
Karl Lagerfeld
Abigail Williams — yes, from Salem (careful tie with her or Samuel Parris)
Alexander McQueen
My mother and father
That might be an awkward mix. Alexander (well, Lee, as they called him) and Karl might be one good dinner, and the other three might be another. I never was good at knowing who to pair with whom for the most effective social outcome.
If you were a superhero what would your name be?
I do have a lot of powers, but I suppose I never think of myself in superhero speak (the way, say, Mark and Ginny think of themselves). I'd say Femme Fatale or something like that because I find a way to cause our particular brand of trouble in the highest heels. Then again, I spend my time with Ginny, who is the Femme Fatale to rule them all. I'm rambling now. (I do that when nervous.) Maybe we'll just say "Witchy Woman" because that's Ginny's favorite thing to call me these days. (Raven hair and ruby lips, sparks fly from her fingertips? Anyone?)
Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your story.
I suppose I can't tell you why in one sentence (I tried many, many times just now), but I can tell you what it is:
The circumstance is supernatural, but the heartbreak is human.
If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
There is, I suppose, some irony to the fact that I could live anywhere, and yet I live nowhere. I like to think, when I settle down, it will be on a beach somewhere. Secluded. Warm water. And yet that idea seems to be getting all the more distant.
Do you have conversations with Amanda - you know, to make sure she's writing your story right?!
Of course I do. But you don't have to worry too much about Amanda. For one, she'll always tell things in great enough detail that I can't fault her for leaving something out. And to those of you who hear my story, well, she'll tell you honestly what's happening in my head, in my actions. I sometimes wish she'd blur the edges of my rougher choices to flatter me, I suppose, but then again if she did that, you wouldn't have the story you have in front of you. But of course we talk. How else would I let her so deeply inside the darkest corners of my heart, my mind?
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
Everett always points out I'm quieter than you expect me to be. I spend so much time watching, thinking, that I sometimes forget to say anything at all. I think it unnerves people, but I'm not sure how to change it.

Mexico Manufacturing Supported In New Survey
Mexico Manufacturing opportunities for American businesses have been highlighted in a recent survey (Alix Partners, LLP) undertaken in 2011's first quarter. Of the 80 executives responding, 42% who already conduct offshore manufacturing, plan to relocate their efforts closer to the U.S., with 9% already planning to move to Mexico: 33% intend to become Mexico manufacturers in the next one to three years, while 54% said near-shoring is not a current consideration. Entrada Group anticipates this is likely to change, at least for some. Importantly, 37% of all executives surveyed are conducting offshore manufacturing while another 27% expect to do so by 2014.
The reasons are compelling for U.S. businesses to move manufacturing closer to home as global economic conditions remain in flux. Mexico manufacturers currently operating out of Entrada's Zacateces facility already benefit from key elements cited in the survey. The 63% of CEOs who expect to near-shore operations identify Mexico as the most likely location, indicating proximity, increasingly sophisticated transportation networks being developed, and only modest currency fluctuations against the US dollar, which all combine to serve as catalysts for relocation. And while security issues continue to cast a shadow on supply chain disruptions, only 19% of Mexico manufacturers sustained any recent problems. Entrada Group suggests that while disruptions sometime occur in manufacturing in Mexico, this is no less true for other off-shore locations. Notably, the Alix Partners survey was conducted prior to the Japanese Quake and Tsunami. The obvious conclusion is that potential supply chain disruptions can be caused by numerous factors.

Vaginally-Endowed Life Partner, a term coined by Tim Minchin in his tour "Tim Minchin and His Orchestra". He says he prefers that to "wife" because saying "my wife" sounds like he owns her.
by Fepe55 January 14, 2011
to have sex with. An attempt to transform our penetrative-centric and thus phallocentric discourse of sex, "velp" comes from "envelop" in order to describe sexual intercourse whilst giving agency to the female.
Loren secretly wanted to velp Paul, but she was a very good girl, so she planned to wait until marriage - if he would agree to marry her!

If I was ever called to testify in a court of law which of us it was first hit upon the concept of road skiing, I would have to say I did not recall, so organically did the idea grow out of the conversation we were having inside Matilda to keep from thinking about the loss of Our Alex. The sport of road skiing, which I am pretty sure was invented for the first time that day by us Gallagher's, is not all that different from water skiing except in that the surface upon which one skis is a road instead of water and in place of a motor boat you have a car. So there's Great Aunt Ginny racketing along behind us, clutching the tow rope for dear life and hellfire, sparks flying out from under her skis, hollering like a Texan on a wild bull, me half out one window cheering her on, Mallory out the other window doing likewise except for a deal more cussing, Our Father gripping Matilda's wheel fit to crush it, stomping the accelerator halfway through the floor, shouting something at the top of his lungs about Iphigenia in Taurus, Our Mother finally getting in the spirit of this vacation, really letting her hair down for once, just screaming with laughter, kicking her naked feet so the fuzzy dice spun up round the rear view mirror like a tetherball and by God, here come the cops.
So the Old Man gets as far out his window as he can go while still holding on to the wheel, cranes his head half backwards on his neck like an owl at the pursuant Fuzz, his eyes in no way any longer attuned to the road and traffic ahead of us which we are now approaching even faster than we had been due to the spastic extension of his entire bodyweight pressing down upon the gas pedal. He commences to lecture the Staties on the subject of Armageddon and it's salubrious effects upon the rigidity of laws and strictures governing such thing as vehicular speed. And I'm yelling at him that no matter how charming and persuasive his argument might be, it is physically impossible for the Coppers to hear him under the current circumstances, but he himself can't hear me over the wind and the sirens and his own shouting, though I'm a hell of a lot closer to him than the enraged bacon now climbing up Great Aunt Ginny's ass, and his situational deafness would illustrate my whole point pretty nicely if he could only hear me which of course he can't! The passenger cop squeezes halfway out his window fixing to shoot our tires out, which at this speed on an Interstate desperately in need of infrastructural attention is near on impossible, not to mention the obstacle presented by the skeletal octogenarian slaloming wildly back and forth between him and his target. Trailing medical tubing and old lady undergarments, the cobwebby remnants of her frantic, wiry white hair peeling straight back from her speckled scalp, dentures banging around the maw of a toothless old mouth stretched wide open by at least three gees combined with complete unleashed geriatric glee, a sight entirely magnificent and then we went off road. Careening down the median, jouncing up and down, Frodo howling canine curses, huge divots of turf and dust spraying every which way, Matilda finally protesting, throwing her hood up in outrage, shooting steam out her radiator like a cartoon bull, banging down once and twice and in the end at last stopping, the cops going sideways, tearing the hell out of some Sunday Schools municipal roadside beautification project, and all of us tumbling out of our cars, Gallagher's and police alike, laughing our heads off at the crazy ass impossible fun of it all.
We picnicked with the Heat there on the median while Matilda cooled off. Officers Halloran and Steiner regaled us with tales of restraining orders torn asunder by shirtless malcontents who tempered their innate stupidity with methamphetamines and cleaning solvent fumes, cretinous brutes who sober might not be able to tie their own shoes attempting complicated larcenies under the influence of house brand cough remedies and elective head trauma, and other suchlike hoohah. Our Mother did what she always did at Picnics, which was to lounge like the lady in 'Luncheon in the grass' except with clothes on, a painting she had described for me in terrible detail many picnics ago when I was much too young to want to hear about it. She would go on doing it until someone said 'say, you look like that lady in that painting would if she had clothes on', or until the pose made her bones hurt enough to get cranky, whichever came first. The Old Man produced from a bottomless cooler tin foil wrapped portions of whole roast turkey, sandwich bags of goldfish crackers, grapes, hydrox cookies mostly smashed to dust, cheeses of unknown origin, slim jims and Red Vines, Trout Almandine, box wine in three colors and a wide array of paper goods and plastic cutlery. It was a feast! Even Mallory allowed a smile as she spoon fed Great Aunt Ginny something awful from a jar and Frodo frolicked in the wildflowers. I only wished Alex would have been there to give me shit about that long ago Gallagher picnic where I stepped in the Boursin (a spreadable cheese with garlic and herb he favored) and ruined his day, a story he whipped out at every picnic ever after.
"Do you know," Officer Steiner let out "I hold two records in our local police history. I have made the single greatest number of arrests resulting in the single smallest number of convictions!"
"He does like to arrest" Officer Halloran explained
"What would you arrest me for?" Mallory asked, attempting flirtation. A cloud crossed Our Mothers brow, heavy enough with impending rain to throw her off her pose. "Red Ants!" she snarled, slapping her daughter's thigh, hard. "The bastard scourge of every picnic."
"Red Ants? Really?" the Old Man lilted, stropping grainy mustard on a slab of sourdough. "Because I'd have thought we were still too far north for them. We must have been speeding faster than I imagined, officers, to get South enough for Red Ants" Halloran puzzled that one and then Steiner let out a guffaw which broke the ice enough for Mom to rise. "Mallory," She said, "Why don't we see if we can find these gentlemen some pie? I believe I stowed one underneath the foul weather gear."
Back in Matilda I asked the Old Man why he thought the cops had let us off.
"They sensed like mindedness!" he cried. "Never under estimate it. Of all the arrows in my quiver it's the mightiest, with the possible exception of the Boxing Glove arrow".

St Mary's, as it has been known locally for most of its History, was founded in 1905, and the ground for the original church was consecrated by St. Tikhon of Moscow. Our original Red brick building, surrounded by a cemetery, was the primary house of worship for the Calhan community from 1905 until 1927 when the building was destroyed by fire. The building was reconstructed in the early 1930's and a newer, larger building was also constructed about a half mile south of the original location.
In the summer of 1995, at the parish's 90th Anniversary his Beatitude, Metropolitan Theodosius and His Grace, Bishop Tikhon rededicated the church on the hill as a chapel dedicated to the founder of St. Mary's Holy Dormition Orthodox Church, St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow.
In 2000, however, the building burned again and the parish began the long, drawn out process of reconstructing and then restoring the building.
We were able to complete a great deal of restoration by simply hanging the "Old Icons" (Iconography in the main church was replaced with a more "Byzantine" style by Fr. Nicholas Dotson) from the church down the hill and my trimming an old set of Holy doors taken from Pueblo by Fr. Nicholas and kept here in storage on April 8, 2013. We returned the chapel to semi nregular use in the summers at this point. Since there is no electricity or heat the chapel is usually closed for the winter.
On August 23, 2014, His Emeinence, Archbishop Benjamin traveled to Calhan and blessed the Iconostasis and completed the restoration.

Thermostats are essential to any home, and especially a smart home. Simply put, a thermostat is a device that regulates the heating and cooling in a home based on temperature. With the advent of new technologies and The Internet of Things, there are many different choices available today. While traditional thermostats are available, you can now enjoy a variety of different interfaces, you can program thermostats based on specific times to save energy, you can even remotely access some thermostat from a smart phone.
Choosing the right thermostat will require a few different decisions on your part based on your application and preferences.
Identify the type of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system you have in your home. Most homes have a single heating unit and/or a single air conditioning unit – we refer to these as single-stage (or 1-stage) HVAC systems. These common systems are usually referred to as 1H/1C (1 Heating / 1 Cooling). However other properties will require multi-stage thermostats - homes that have multiple air conditioners, or additional floor heating, baseboard heating or humidifiers. In these cases you will need to look for the appropriate stage combination, 2H/2C (2 Heating / 2 Cooling) or 3H/1C (3 Heating / 1 Cooling) as examples.
Thermostat Types
We classify thermostats into three main categories Non-Programmable (A), Programmable (B) and Remotely Controllable (C). Once you decide on the type that is best for your application, then then it comes down to the feature set. For each thermostat type below, we have recommended a few products that offer different feature sets.
Non-Programmable Thermostats
This is what most people think of when it comes to temperature control. These are the traditional thermostats which require a manual temperature setting and manually switching to heat or cool which will kick on your HVAC unit. Non-programmable thermostats often use a mechanical dial or slider to set the temperature, while these are very reliable than can be somewhat imprecise. Newer non-programmable thermostats use a digital display and push buttons to set the temperature which provide more accurate temperature control. The latest in the non-programmable thermostat are touch screen interfaces which offer very precise temperature control with an aesthetically pleasing look.

Programmable Thermostats
This is the digital evolution of the non-programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats have the capability of running time period programming, which is a program that allows the thermostat to automatically adjust the heat setpoint temperature and/or the cool setpoint temperature based on the time of the day, also known as scheduling. This is advantageous because you can limit time periods of heating and cooling based on when you may or may not be home, and often they allow for multiple setpoints points per day. The schedules are usually classified by the number of days you can create setpoints for; 7 the setpoint is applicable for everyday day of the week, 5-2 one setpoint is good for Monday through Friday (5) and one setpoint is for Saturday and Sunday (2), 5-1-1 one setpoint is good for Monday through Friday (5) one setpoint is good for Saturday (1) and one setpoint is good for Sunday (1), and 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 individual setpoints can be made for every day of the week. Programmable thermostats also com in different displays and interfaces, and often have additional features such as support for remote sensors, voice activation or even storage for pictures to be displayed.

Remotely Controllable Thermostats
These are the latest and greatest in thermostats. It should be noted that almost all of the remotely controllable thermostats can be found in the Programmable Thermostat category (as most are digital and programmable), but not all programmable thermostats are remotely controllable, so we have separated them out for you. Remotely controllable thermostats incorporate many of the same options as programmable thermostats with a wide variety of wireless features. We offer thermostats that can be controlled from a typical telephone, adapters that will turn specific thermostats into a wireless capable thermostat, Wi-Fi thermostats that can be controlled from a smartphone or via the web, and thermostats that can be controlled from a home automation system like INSTEON.

Consolidating effect of mergers and acquisitions
Firms have more than one option for diversifying; among these options are the following: corporate entrepreneurship, strategic alliances, and mergers and acquisitions. Mergers and acquisitions can have a consolidating effect in the industry, and may force other industry players to merge.

CrossGen to be published in Russian
Official Press Release
TAMPA, FL., – CrossGen Comics continues its worldwide
expansion with the signing of a publishing deal with Russian publisher
Izdatelstvo Komiks Ltd. Izdatelstvo Komiks Ltd. is set to begin publishing
the CrossGen Comics line in September 2002 to be distributed to the
newsstand, comic shop and bookstore market in the Russian speaking countries
of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmen, Litva, Latvia, and
This new publishing agreement means CrossGen Comics are now available in at
least 26 foreign countries and in five foreign languages. It also means that
CrossGen's Comics on the Web will eventually be available in Russian.
Izdatelstvo Komiks Ltd. will begin by publishing monthly Russian editions of
Mystic, Sigil, Scion, Meridian, The First, and Crux.
The Russian comic book publisher, Izdatelstvo Komiks Ltd., or in English,
Comics Publishing House, was established in Moscow in 2000 by a group of one
of the largest Russian advertising and publishing companies' top managers.
Making the decision to launch the project was the result of one and a half
years of research and development, directed towards the analysis of world
experience and creating the strategy of promoting a product absolutely new
to Russia: the comic book.
At the present, the main aim of Izdatelstvo Komiks Ltd. is to issue and to
promote the best Russian and foreign comics products for the readers living
in all the regions of the former USSR. In order to obtain such results, a
team of professionals, having five year's experience in the sphere of
development, production, and distribution of print products, was formed; and
strategic agreements were concluded with the largest Russian printing
houses, wholesale and retail networks, manufacturers of P.O.S. equipment,
research agencies and art studios.
According to James Breitbeil, CrossGen's Director of Marketing and
Distribution, the launch of Comics on the Web has aided in the signing of
new foreign publishers.
"Every comics publisher around the world wants to see the audience for
comics grow," said Breitbeil. "With the launch of Comics on the Web, and the
potential for millions of people worldwide to view our comics and then be
drawn into the world of print comics, publishers are lining up for their
chance to be a part of this initiative."
Ludmila Orlova Head of International Licensing for Izdatelstvo Komiks Ltd.
believes CrossGen comics are a perfect fit for a Russian speaking population
new to comic books.
"It's all a matter of quality and approach. To understand how perfect the
CrossGen line of titles fits the Russian market we just have to take a
closer look at the situation. We have a growing demand for comics along with
no particular history of the industry and comic readership, and our audience
is not bound with historically favored heroes, brands or titles. This far we
had been searching for products of top quality and highest market potential,
and the CrossGen Universe with its eye-catching graphics, fabulous
storylines and challenging manner of development approach is naturally a
godsend for us.
