TLC-40 Advance for better brooding of exotic birds...
Altricial species of birds (including all parrots and birds of prey) are blind and helpless when they hatch and it is some weeks before they are able to move around, control their body temperature and feed themselves. During this period the young birds need to be kept in a clean, temperature controlled environment. As they grow and develop down and feathers they can gradually tolerate lower temperatures and the breeder needs to be able to reduce the chamber temperature easily, whilst still maintaining control. Young birds also benefit from being able to see humans from within the chamber;during this early stage in their development it is essential for young birds to become familiar with the presence of people if they are to be tame in adulthood.
The Octagon TLC-40 Advance brooder fulfils all these functions very cost effectively and can also double as a Hospital Cage for sick or injured birds. The Advance model provides digital control and read-out of temperature, humidity, temperature and power failure alarms and can be further supplemented by Brinsea's optional EX Humidity Pump to provide full control of humidity too.
Functional Practicality
With hygiene a top priority for your birds, the TLC-40 Advance has been carefully designed to make cleaning as easy as possible. The lower half of the cabinets and doors are removable allowing them to be scrubbed and immersed. It is also easy to wipe clean the high gloss finish of the ABS plastic upper cabinet and the fan guard is simply detached to allow access to clean the fan. Even the heater is encased in a metal tube making cleaning easy. The control circuit is housed away from the chamber for reliability. Airflow in the TLC-40 Advance and has been carefully optimized to ensure consistent distribution of heat, so that all chicks are at the same temperature but with the fan maintaining gentle airspeeds so that down and dust are not blown around.
This model can be upgraded to the EX version by adding the Humidity Pump Module - see additional images for an example of the TLC-40 Advance EX showing the pump.
Now protected by Biomaster antimicrobial additive: proven to reduce bacterial growth by 99.99% and 100% safe for eggs, chicks and humans. Protects hatches from microbial transfer by cross contamination helping to reduce unexplained hatching failures.

Happy Monday! I am so excited to participate in Elle Luna's 100 Day Project on Instagram. You can check out her Instagram page here. The challenge starts tomorrow Tuesday, April 19 and ends on Wednesday July 27. For 100 days, you get to choose what you want to do. In the past, some people have chosen to write everyday and some even made paintings. You can take photographs, doodle, or learn something new. The possibilities are endless!
I am choosing to create art for 100 days. I have noticed that many people who participate and choose to create art will select a specific art form for 100 days. For instance, one person may choose to focus on watercolors while another may focus on acrylics. I kept wondering if I should focus on just one form of art, but decided that it would be better for me to just create any type of art for 100 days. I think this will work for me because I want to be able to make something...anything every single day. I know that there will be days when I want to break out my watercolors and some days I may want to bring out my acrylics or even my Faber-Castell gelatos. I may make a card one day or a doodle another day. I may make an art journal page or a layout. Either way, I will be creating art every single day for 100 days and I hope to create a piece of artwork every day even after the challenge/project ends.
I plan to post my takes on my Instagram page which you can check out here. I am also thinking about sharing some of my artwork on the blog as well.
Do you plan to participate in the 100 Day Project? What do you plan to do for 100 days?
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time...

The Chief Minister,
Shri Prithviraj Chavan,
Government of Maharashtra,
Sub: We condemn the Mumbai Police action & confiscation of our 'Boycott Israel-Save India, 15th May Nakba-Day' Banners from a private office premise.
Respected Sir,
We are extremely peturbed and angry at the fact that today, on the 18th of May 2012, at 3.00pm, the Agripada police raided the premises of the Jamat-i-Islami-i-Hind at Madanpura & confiscated the 'May 15 - Nakba Day' banners. The office staff were called over to the Agripada Police Station for further questioning. Soon after, on making calls to the police station, which had earlier refused to give us any information, but after sustained calls from various important quarters we were informed that it was on the behest & instructions of the Israeli consulate in Mumbai, that the police went into action. This is indeed a matter of great concern, whereby the local police is now acting as an agent of a foreign consulate against Indian citizens.
This is clearly an infringement of our sovereign & democratic rights & we thus lodge our protest & condemn the action of the police as strongly as possible. The banners were not put up in any public space without the due permission of the municipal authorities, as is the norm. The banners were strung outside the balcony on the first floor of the said private premises. Moreover the banners had the following messages in the context of the May 15th protests that are held globally.
i) Boycott Israel - Save India!!
ii) Free Palestine & Right of Return of the Refugees
iii) May 15th - Nakba Protests!!
These banners and protests are in keeping with our historical national tradition of supporting the anti-colonial freedom struggles* & the international political consensus in terms of the global day of protests against the creation of the Zionist Apartheid Racist Israel.
Thus we demand that action be taken against:
i) The Israeli consulate, wherein they are clearly told to operate within the limits of a foreign entity as a consulate & not step beyond the boundaries & the laws of our country. They need to be told that they are not the new viceroys of India, where they can directly call up the local police station & have them raid & arrest patriotic citizens.
Though this problem also stems from the fact that due to state policy a number of low level police officials are also travelling to Israel, for so-called anti-terror training whilst it is a well known fact that Israel is the fountainhead of terror in the world.
This flawed training of our police by certified Islamophobes has resulted in an increased wave of anti-Muslim xenophobia amongst our police & intelligence services, as has been evident in the persecution of Muslim youth in the course of the last two decades.
Meanwhile, a significant number of Mossad agents have been identified & expelled from India for indulging in espionage, drug peddling & weapons smuggling. Also the links of racist Israel with the extreme right-wing Manuwadi forces, namely the BJP-RSS-VHP-BD, all stand exposed.
Yet the secular Congress-led UPA turns a blind eye to the Mossad operations in our city & across the country.
Israel poses a grave security threat to the very sovereignty & unity of our country. Today, the dubious & perfidious role of the Zionist-Israeli Lobby in America & the Western world stands exposed & Israel stands at the bottom of public opinion across the world. Yet the ruling political elite in our country do not seem to understand the obvious. Also the corrupting role of Israeli weapons manufacturers has been exposed by none less than the Defence Ministry itself, whereby 4 Israeli companies have been banned for bribing politicians, military officials and bureaucrats. The links of the Mossad & the Abhinav Bharat & Sanatan Sanstha terror organizations are also being probed due to the charge-sheet filed by Shaheed ATS Chief Hemant Karkare.
Thus it is also due to the flawed policies of the government, where the likes of racist Israelis operate with impunity, even by-passing the official corridors of power & our intel-security apparatus.
ii) The DCP Mr Kishore Jadhav & the Sr Inspector Mr Suryavanshi (Agripada Police Station) all need to be taken to task for operating at the behest of the Israeli consulate as their agents.
All the police stations in our city of Mumbai, across Maharashtra & India, need to be warned that they cannot be acting at a telephone call from either the Israeli, the American, or any other foreign power.
The next time the people of this city will lay siege to the police station if our sovereign democratic rights as Indian citizens are again infringed upon.
We also demand that the Home Minister, Mr P R Patil, take the appropirate action against these errant officials so we do not see a repeat of these abominable acts ever again.
We represent the patriotic tradition of our Freedom Movement against the British colonial occupation of our Motherland & we will not stand by and see our nation be colonized once again by American & Israeli imperialists. We will not betray the sacrifices & the memories of our founding fathers & the thousands who laid down their lives for a free India.
Today there is a movement across the world where the masses are challenging the US-Israeli-European Neo-colonial project & the demise of the Western imperial powers is destined.
It is time for the Indian political class to understand these new political realities for the future of our nation & the world is at stake.
We walk in the path of Mahatma Gandhi, Maulana Azad, Mahatma Phule, Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar, Subash Chandra Bhose & Bhagat Singh & it is their teachings that we will strive to carry on.
Jai Hind!! Jai Bharat!!
Feroze Mithiborwala, Kishore Jagtap, Aslam Ghazi, Jyoti Badekar & Arif Kapadia
(From Mumbai police confiscate Nakba Day banners, Bharat Bachao Andolan, countercurrents.org, 19/5/12)
[* "What was still more unpleasant for the Government, the Moslem world outside Palestine began to raise its voice. An all-India Moslem Conference for Palestine was held in Bombay [now Mumbai, in May 1922] and passed a resolution that the Holy Land of Palestine was the trust of the whole Moslem world and not of the Moslems of Palestine alone. It demanded the abolition of the Balfour Declaration, the termination of the Mandate and the establishment of self-government there. It decided to celebrate a 'Palestine Day' throughout India, Burma and Ceylon, on Friday the 16th [May], to begin after prayers at the mosques. This was held as arranged, and in Bombay particularly was on an impressive scale. Long processions paraded through the Moslem quarters, waving banners inscribed 'Down with the Balfour Declaration!' and Reuter cabled that a meeting in the evening was attended by 100,000 persons." (Palestine: The Reality (1939), JMN Jeffries, p 620)]

A reference to the memoir (and later film by the same name) The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, this design contemplates the immensity of the inner self. In the memoir, a successful French Elle magazine editor suffers a stroke and locked-in disorder, but he still manages to write a book about the experiences. It's heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time.

Seth Gabel will not be returning as a series regular for the fifth and final season of Fringe, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
After Gabel's other universe Lincoln Lee meet his demise in the fourth season, this universe's Lincoln decided to stay over there when the bridge between the two universes was closed. We'd like to think he'll at least hopefully find love with other Olivia (Anna Torv)!
Fringe Postmortem: What's in store for the fifth and final season?
But does this mean the bridge will not be opened again? Not necessarily! A Fringe source says this news doesn't mean we've seen the last of Linc. Therefore, Gabel could return as a guest star. Also, executive producer J.H. Wyman told TVGuide.com that "everything is a possibility" when asked whether the bridge would be reopened. Here's hoping!
The fifth season of Fringe kicks off this fall, with 2036 expected to play heavily into the final season. Get more scoop on Season 5 here.

NORWICH Chenango County Court came into session Monday to preside over several cases.
The first to stand before the court was Robert R. Davy, 65, accused of driving while intoxicated. This is Davys fifth DWI, and he is trying to get a deal that would allow him to get his charge reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor. The defense says he will be unable to continue his job as a quality control advisor if convicted of a felony. The District Attorneys Office demanded written proof of Davys work issue before even attempting to make a deal. He has been scheduled to reappear in court July 9. Davy may also be considered eligible for drug treatment court.
Mark A. Cunningham appeared in court charged with possessing child pornography on his home computer. According to court reports, Cunningham allegedly got involved in an online chat room with an individual who threatened to blackmail him for $500. Cunningham contacted police and handed over his computer in response to the threat. He was arrested soon after, once police discovered images of underage children on his hard drive.

This is the moment you've all been waiting for. It's not the Moto X+1. Or Moto X2. This is the new Motorola Moto X.
If you've seen the recent leaks on the new Moto X, then you know just what to expect. The 2014 Moto X looks very similar to the first generation device, but adds a little something premium in the design department. Along with the same slim bezels and smooth curved backside, you'll now find a metal band running along the edge of device. The front of the new Moto X looks similar to the Moto E, with front facing speakers. As for customizations, the new Moto X will be available in 25 different colors along with real wood and genuine leather backs. The rest of the specs on the new Moto X look like this:
- Operating system: Android 4.4.4 KitKat
- Storage: Standard 16GB, Motomaker 32GB
- Dimensions: Height 140.8 mm, Width 72.4 mm, Depth 9.97mm, Weight 144 grams
- Rear camera: 13MP F2.25 with 2160p video capture
- Front Camera: 2MP (1080p)
- Audio: Speakers front-facing and at bottom
- Processor: MSM8974-AC 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 with quad-core CPU
- GPU: Adreno 330
- Display: 5.2" (423 ppi), 1080p OLED, Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- Connectivity: Wifi 80211.ac, BT 4.0LE, USB centered at bottom, 3.5mm Headset Jack
- Battery: 2300 mAh
As with the original Moto X, the new Moto X comes with a ton of custom software features thrown on top of pure, stock Android. The new Moto X will adapt to what you're doing and when you're doing it, and respond to custom commands you can enable on the device. As you may have noticed the new Moto X will launch with KitKat, but it will be updated to to Android L. Don't you worry.
The new Motorola Moto X will be available later this month all over the world including Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe. The on-contract price for the Moto X, which will be widely available in the US, will be $99. Off contract and unlocked, you can buy the Moto X starting at $499. Stay tuned to Android and Me as we have much more Motorola content coming soon.

For the apple butter:
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the apple, water and brown sugar and cook until the apples are very soft. Stir in the cinnamon and salt and cook for 1 minute. Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor along with the butter and process until slightly chunky. Scrape into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Let come to room temperature before serving.
For the glaze:
Whisk all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
For the pork:
Bring the water, apple juice, salt, sugar, onion, peppercorns, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves to a simmer in a large stock pot and cook until the sugar and salt is dissolved. Let cool completely. Submerge the roast in the brine by placing a plate on top, cover with plastic and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove the pork from the brine, rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the pork to a baking sheet, brush with some of the glaze and finish cooking in the oven until cooked to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 to 40 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, let rest loosely tented with foil for 10 minutes.
Add the shallots to the saute pan (that the pork was browned in) and cook until soft. Add the whiskey, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and cook until almost completely reduced. Add the chicken broth and brown sugar and bring to a boil and cook until reduced to a sauce consistency. Whisk in the butter, season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
Slice the rack into chops and place on a large plate, drizzle a little of the sauce around the pork chop and top with some of the butter. Garnish with parsley sprigs.

We are going to be in Napa Friday 5/29 and have one night. We have a 3 1/2 year old in tow. Presently have a res. at Ubuntu but I am wavering now after reading some of the reviews here. Maybe not the best for a kid, or a hungry papa and mama.
We are open as far as meat/veg.etc and want to keep under $200 for the 3 of us. Anybody have any thoughts on the Grill at Meadowood?

There were about 32 vendors at the farmers market Wednesday.
The vendors came from all over S.C. and sell a variety of products. These products include honey and honey skincare products, fruits and vegetables, curry, pulled pork, beer chicken, kettle corn, ice cream, sweets and lemonade.
Two of the vendors, owners of "bhagee by the beach" and "Claudine's Creperie" are originally from England and now live in Hilton Head.
The market features a Dj who sings a variety of songs and plays dance jams such as the Electric Slide, Macarena and the Cha-Cha Slide.
The crowd was lively with children dancing, dog owners and even superman joined in on the fun, making a live appearance.

Foster / Kinship Care
Join us to learn how you can help
We will be hosting an info session in October, please check back for details;or follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter. You can also contact us any time at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more.
New Enhanced Foster Care initiative
We are seeking foster parents who can commit to full-time care and have specialized qualifications (such as experience working with children/youth with behavioural, mental health or complex special needs).
These foster parents will be part of a new initiative focusing on families who provide enhanced foster care for children and youth with challenging behaviours who require increased, full-time care. Applicants must have at least one stay-at-home parent with advanced skills. Compensation is reflective of the greater demands, with increased financial compensation and increased specialized service supports.
Please see posting for details.
We will be hosting an information session for this program on August 22. Please contact us to learn more or to register for this info session: email@example.com
Have you ever thought about becoming a foster parent?
Our goal is to work with families to keep children safe in their own home, however, when there are serious concerns about the care a child is receiving at home, he or she may need to be placed in a foster home.
Foster parents and their families work with our staff to provide a stable and supportive home environment for those children who are in need of a safe, temporary place to live.
Many children remain connected with the foster family long after they leave their home, creating an extended family for both the child and the foster family.
Read about the Laramy family who have been providing care for children and youth in our care for fourteen years.
Who are the children in need of foster care?
The children in our care range from infancy to 18 years and come from a variety of backgrounds. Often children come into our care as part of a sibling group; we strive to keep siblings together if possible, and if it is in the best interest of the children.
Most children come into our care on temporary basis and are able to return home to their family once the stress at home has been alleviated, but some must remain in care for longer, some permanently.
Children and youth may come into care for a variety of reasons:
- They have been harmed, or may have been at risk of harm;
- They may have witnessed abuse of siblings or domestic violence; or
- Their natural parents or guardians may not be able to care for them temporarily.
Some children and youth may have taken on parenting responsibilities for siblings due to challenges that their parents are facing.
They need someone to care for them, and our foster families are there. Foster families work as part of the team to nurture these children and youth while a permanent plan is made for them.
Being a Foster Parent
Who are foster parents?
Foster parents are individuals or couples with a genuine interest in children and a sense of community responsibility.
They come from a variety of ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds, of any sexual orientation, and with a variety of child care experience.
Some are parents whose own children are now adults, while some have their own biological children living at home.
What do we require of our foster parents?
- A basic understanding of the needs of children and/or youth, and a willingness to learn
- A stable family home, regardless of family make-up (single or partnered, with or without children).
- A bed and adequate space for each foster child. A foster child may not sleep in a regular basement.
- Past experience caring for children or youth is a definite advantage.
- Working foster parents must ensure appropriate supervision during working hours.
- A love of young people, optimism, tolerance, patience and consistency are essential to the successful foster family.
Yes, there are challenges…
There are many challenges for those families who become foster parents. Children come into the care for many reasons, including physical, emotional or sexual abuse, neglect or exposure to domestic violence.
Children and youth who have these kinds of life experiences may present emotional and/or behavioural challenges for the foster family.
Children and youth come into the care for varying lengths of time. Many will eventually return to their biological family. Some may not be able to return home, and may stay in foster care permanently or be placed for adoption.
The challenge for the foster family is to provide the physical and emotional support to children, while recognizing the difficulty of letting go when a permanent plan is implemented.
We offer a variety of supports to assist our foster families.
The reward is knowing that you are helping children, youth and families.
Supports Offered
Financial support
Foster parents are paid a daily board rate per foster child or youth in the home. We ensure that other expenses are also covered such as clothing, medical and dental needs, and school and recreation related costs.
Training and staff support
We support our foster families in other ways, such as:
- Initial and ongoing educational opportunities
- Ongoing professional support from our staff
- Access to therapeutic services that the child may need
Foster parents also have access to learning opportunities, mutual support and networking through the local Foster Parent Association and the Foster Parents Society of Ontario.
Enhanced support
We also offer a joint program with Enterphase Child & Family Services to provide support to foster parents.
The program provides assistance to foster parents in managing difficult situations, stabilizing a new placement, planning for independent living, and other situations as needed.
If necessary, a worker will visit the home to provide support in a time of crisis.
Application Process
Applying to be a foster parent
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, most importantly, you must be committed to providing a safe and stable home for a child. You must enjoy caring for children, and be prepared for both the rewards and the challenges that fostering offers.
Foster parents may be single or partnered, and of any sexual orientation.
Criteria for foster and adoption applicants:
- Reside in Durham Region.
- Be at least 21 years of age.
- Be financially self-sufficient.
- Have no criminal record or charges pending.
- Have stable family relationships, including being with or without a partner for at least two years.
- Have consent of all immediate family members.
- Have healthy individual and family histories
You must also:
- Have an approved home with adequate living and sleeping space for a child.
- Demonstrate the ability to carry out essential parenting duties.
- Be willing to learn new skills and participate in ongoing training.
- Be willing to work with Durham CAS and other professionals.
- Be sensitive to the cultural differences and backgrounds of children in care.
- Be supportive of and involved with our Anti-Oppressive Practice work
- Be willing to work with and understand both the child and his or her family.
- Be willing to work towards the child's future, whether it is the child's return home or another permanent plan (such as adoption).
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, please contact us.
Eligible applicants will attend several mandatory training classes. We will conduct family interviews to assess the family situation. If approved, the home is formally opened as a foster home. The entire process takes several months.
The decision to become a foster parent is very significant. The time spent in the approval process gives you time to learn more about the process and think about your decision carefully.
Please call – a child needs you.

Hassan says dinner table lessons still ring trueBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Sunday News
November 10. 2012 11:56PM
As a child growing up with two politically active parents, Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan learned at the dinner table to share and defend her views.
As a mother raising a child with cerebral palsy, the Exeter attorney realized that patience and determination went a long way.
And as a politician running for office in a state split politically, the former Senate majority leader concluded that voters wanted Democrats and Republicans to work together to make the state better.
"I come to this role from a belief that you make the best decisions when you have as many different perspectives and experiences at the table as possible, and everybody needs to be heard, and you need to make sure you have a process that allows that to happen, and that is what I tried to do with the state Senate, and that's what I'm committed to do as governor," Hassan said Friday.
When not handling political matters, Hassan, which rhymes with "fasten," enjoys reading P.D. James mysteries, following Boston sports teams and hosting Sunday night family dinners surrounded by friends and neighbors.
Born in Boston, she grew up in a home in Lincoln, Mass., where discussions about current affairs were mandated.
"When you are the child of two educators, both of whom care about community service a lot, there are a lot of dinner conversations in which everybody is expected to weigh in," she said. "My father used to actually go around the table person by person and ask them what they thought, so everybody from family members to our guests were expected to either think out loud or have an opinion, and we did."
The family lived in Washington, D.C., from 1965 to 1969, when her father, Robert Wood, who survived the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, served as undersecretary and later secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Lyndon Johnson.
Today, Hassan, 54, and her husband, Tom, have two children, Meg, 19, and Ben, 24. While governor, Hassan plans to remain living in a house at Phillips Exeter Academy, where her husband is principal. Ben lives with them.
"Ben is one of the most patient and one of the most determined people that I've ever met, and for somebody with his level of disability - he can't speak or walk or use his fingers - but he is expressive, and he communicates in his own way and does so in a very determined way that I just find remarkable," Hassan said.
"Ben requires 24-hour care, so we have somebody who has been his caregiver for 23 years who does essentially the day shift, and then we have some respite providers, some nurses who come in to help," she said. "Our family covers the night shift. Ben generally sleeps well at night, and that is how we do it, and we have family and friends that help, too."
Hassan said she has learned several lessons as Ben's mom.
"One is that your children are who they're going to be, and we had a very good and early lesson with Ben that we were going to let Ben be who he was, and it's been a great gift to realize that early on, and secondly, that patience and determination can go a long way," she said.
Advocating for her son, who has cerebral palsy, led Hassen to pursue her political ambitions. Then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen in 1999 appointed her to the Advisory Committee to the Adequacy in Education and Finance Commission.
In 2002, Hassan planned to run as a state representative, but redistricting gave her a better opportunity to run for state Senate. The Democrat lost that race but won in 2004. She served three terms before losing her seat in 2010.
In defeating Manchester attorney Ovide Lamontagne by more than 80,000 votes Tuesday, Hassan became the second woman elected governor in the state. New Hampshire voters also elected two women to the U.S. House, giving New Hampshire an all-women congressional delegation, the first ever in the United States.
Hassan said the state's citizen Legislature and its many local boards give women more opportunities to become involved in politics.
"I think some of it is a natural evolution, but I go back to the fact that New Hampshire is such an independent state with a lot undeclared voters who really do election by election choose the person who they think is best for the job," Hassan said. "I think women bring a breath of experience and a somewhat different perspective to the role that helps increase the possibility of problem-solving going forward just because the better the mix you have at the national level and the state level, the more people who are at the table, the better the decisions are going to be, and I think that's one of the things that New Hampshire voters spoke to."
Republican Bob Clegg, a former Senate majority leader who worked closely with Hassan, called her "tough. She was a good advocate for her side."
Clegg, now a registered lobbyist, said Hassan was open to listening to good ideas regardless of party. "I actually think she'll be very effective," he said.
Hassan said she looks forward to governing with greater Democratic numbers at the State House starting in January and putting the campaign behind her. She called negative television ads from outside political groups "an unfortunate part of political life now."
Her family also faced attacks on the Internet, including postings questioning the heritage of her husband, who's Irish-Catholic, and claiming he allowed "radical Islamists" to speak on the Phillips Exeter Academy campus.
"Look, there are always desperate smear attempts in campaigns and on the Internet, and I just think it's important to focus on the big picture always," she said.
"What I want all of the citizens of New Hampshire to know and people from outside of New Hampshire to know, too, is that we are a place that welcomes all people of talent and energy to our state to participate and contribute," Hassan said. "I call us the it's-all-hands-on-deck type of state, and it's a remarkable place, how people really love to pitch in, roll up their sleeves and get the job done."

It all started with the blade of my little freebie letter opener getting dull and starting to make shredded messes of envelopes instead of tidy slices. I wanted a replacement, something like this:
Sadly, Target and Office Max only carry things that look like this:
Remarkably like a dagger, no? The issue, of course, is that I have two children, and I would like to keep them both alive. I am resigned to paying some sort of ungodly shipping fee for a two dollar piece of plastic and metal, but I suppose it will still be far less than whatever the emergency room fees would be charged for a lightsaber/letter opener knife fight patch-up.
I did an Amazon search and turned up some charming leads.
Indiana Jones letter openers, in the shape of Indy's machete and Mutt Williams' sword (which I don't remember, so I suppose I need to watch movie 4 again.)
Harry Potter letter openers, in the form of the sword of Gryffindor.
From the Lord of the Rings, Narsil, as borne by Aragorn in the movie. Those of us diehard book fans will note that Narsil was carried by Elendil and was shattered at his death (The Blade that was Broken), so Aragorn only carries the damaged hilt in the beginning of the story. The reforged sword should be called Anduril. But whatever, it's a letter opener too.
I think I might settle for these. Cute, and safe.

Medicare is a federally run entitlement program of medical assistance for the elderly, disabled and those with permanent kidney failure, whereas Medicaid is a state-run medical program for those in financial need, reports Nolo. The coverage that each program provides and the costs to participants differ. Federal taxes, payroll taxes and the premiums paid by participants fund Medicare, while both federal and state taxes fund Medicaid, explains About.com.Continue Reading
Participants in Medicare are entitled to the benefits it provides because they pay for it with their taxes and premiums, according to Nolo. They also pay for ongoing services in the form of deductibles, copayments and other costs. Although participants have choices in the plans they enroll in, basic rules and coverage remain the same throughout the country. Eligibility for Medicaid is based on the financial need of participants, and specific rules and coverage vary from state to state. Medicaid programs in some states charge small fees for medical services.
Some states only provide Medicaid for children, pregnant women, the elderly, the disabled and the blind. Other states supply more funding and extend the program to include everyone with incomes under 138 percent of federal poverty level as of 2015, states About.com. On the other hand, all eligible individuals receive basic Medicare coverage regardless of their incomes.Learn more about Health Insurance

Best App for HCPs: 2014
MSLGROUP and Epocrates, an athenahealth service
Epocrates Bugs + Drugs
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or "superbugs," are a growing concern as they are becoming increasingly impervious to typical antibiotics. According to the CDC, more than two million patients suffer from antibiotic-resistant infections annually and 23,000 of those patients die.
The Epocrates Bugs + Drugs free app provides physicians with geolocated bacterial resistance data to support point-of-care decisions about treating bacterial infections. It's the first tool that helps clinicians who practice outside of hospitals access resistance data so they can make appropriate prescribing decisions that can affect future antibiotic- resistance patterns for entire populations.
"This app should stand as a required tool for modern treatment," said one judge.
"A huge unmet need is filled by this well-thought-out app," a second judge said.
Additional judges praised the innovative app's use of geo-location, existing data and big data as well as its "cool user interface."
Designed for Apple's iOS7, the app aggregates de-identified lab results from athenahealth's EHR database of 15 million patients into a big data map of resistance patterns searchable by zip code.
A PR and marketing campaign supported the app launch. Within the first month, the app had gotten more than 100,000 downloads and had been accessed upwards of 300,000 times, and averaged about 4,000 uses a day.
Infuse Medical and Medtronic
Medtronic Spine CATALYST Procedural Simulation Library
Judges praised the insight and innovation behind this app, which serves as a library of surgical simulations and enables users to virtually perform specific spinal surgeries with Medtronic's products and technology.
A nice catalog app for a very deep portfolio," said one judge. "An interesting UX that keeps it fresh with overlays."

Imanta Railway station to be demolished
According to news portal diena.lv, Imanta Railway Station (Imantas Stacija), which is a more than hundred years old historical building building will be demolished.
Imanta Station is located at the Riga-Tukums railway line, which was opened still back in the Russian Empire times in 1877. The station building itself comes from 1894 and with only minor additions has preserved its unique historical look.
Technical surveyors have come to conclusion that the building is no more being safe to use and that it is too close to the railway lines. Strange, through out the years the buildings location caused no problems and just a year ago there were some art projects exhibited. Also Valsts kultūras pieminekļu aizsardzības inspekcija (The State Inspection for Heritage Protection) has no objections against the demolition.
I think the building should be relocated to the Brīvadabas Muzejs (Open air Museum) which has buildings and houses from 18th and 19th centuries or to the Railway Museum as an example of the Russian Empire period rural railway station architecture.
While the new station is being build, there is a temporary structure for ticket offices and a shelter from rain.
There we have some pictures of the old station which we made just as we got the news about demolition.

Launching Soon!
Operation: Adopt a Hero
Building camaraderie between the communities and their veterans in Tennessee
Help us create a resource that our benefits the community and our vets.Donate
About OAAH
OAAH is a community-based organization created to reach out to all veterans - active, reserve, and retired alike - and bridge the gap between them and their local community by promoting and hosting social events and gathering individually oriented resources to aide vets and their families. This helps to build a life inside and outside the military, and builds a link between the community at large and the veterans and their families to create a lasting, beneficial, symbiotic relationship.
Our local veterans have been through the military and now are members along with their families in our community. Promoting what resources are available and linking the families with the resources that best fit their need or want.
Social Events
No veteran should feel alone in a community that supports them and their families. Promoting social events in the community that OAAH and also the community host is key to letting the families know what is taking place near them. This allows their families to get out in the community and build relationships in where they live.
Veterans have been exposed to being their and helping one another during their time in the military. Once getting out the need to service still exist in them. OAAH is going to be allowing the community and veterans to see what ways there are to get involved in the community.
Getting involved
Supporting our vets
Veterans and their families are our focus. During a veteran's process of readjusting into a community we will help by providing information about and encouraging use of local services and available resources in the community. By educating our community we are able to reach out to community members who have served, their families, and also others in the local community.
Our outreach is accomplished via hosted community events, a local physical office, the website, and word of mouth. By reaching out into the community we are able to build trust with the locals, this is allowing us to work with a veteran's family on an individual basis to find the best resources suitable to the family's needs. Once a veteran has been assisted they are encouraged to remain active in our organization, building relationships with and assisting their fellow veterans as well as continue to be an active member of the community.
Be the change for our vets

Farmor's Pepperkaker
syrup, butter, sugar and milk bring to boil with spices the dough stands until next day roll out thinly cut into slices bake lightHm. So I thought it best to just watch her and take pictures. She always has to laugh and shake her head at me when I'm in the kitchen with her taking pictures of every move she makes. She can't believe that someone could be so interested in her normal, boring routines. But her dance around the kitchen could never be more intriguing to me. Without a thought she picks up, what seems to be, any old spice laying around, and puts in a finger of this and a handful of that. It can be a little hard to keep up. But from the pictures I took, lets see if I can work the recipe out for you. 500ml syrup 250g butter 250g sugar a large cup of milk (at least 250-300mls, I guess) 1 tsp chunky pepper 1 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp ground cloves 900g plain flour 2 tsp bicarbonate soda Preparation time - two days! The pepperkaker needs to sit over night so make sure you prepare it at least the day before you want to decorate it. Method: In a large pot put in syrup, butter, sugar and milk. Melt together lightly on the stove. Also add in cinnamon and cloves. Stir with whisk to mix. Add in pepper. Mix with whisk. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Take off heat. Add in flour and bicarbonate soda. Mix with whisk. Mix well. Dough is perfect when it is a little stretchy. Use the whisk to stretch it up to see. Put on lid and leave overnight. Farmor puts it outside in the snow to keep it cold but I guess you can just put it in your fridge. The next day the dough is ready to use. Heat oven to 180C (350F). Knead pepperkake mix into a dough - you might need a little more flour to prevent sticking. Take a portion and roll out with plenty of flour - thin for small decorations with crunch, a little thicker for bigger decorations or for softer cookies for eating. Dip cookie-cutters in flour and cut dough. Make sure to put holes in each if you want them to hang on the tree or in the window. Put cut-dough onto a sheeted baking tray. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown. For a softer cookie just cook less. The dough will actually become lighter in the oven first before it starts to turn brown again. Cool before decorating. For how to decorate your pepperkaker see our post Decorating Pepperkaker. It's a fun traditional activity for the kids. For a conventional recipe see Pepperkaker Recipe.

Background History - A few years ago Tim Redgrave, then the deputy head at Ysgol Esgob Morgan Juniors in St Asaph, Denbighshire, took his Y6 class to St Asaph Library to hear the wonderful Helena Pielichaty give a talk as part of Denbighshire Libraries Book Week. As always, Helena's session went down a storm and she made a huge impression, not only on the children, but also on Tim. He never forgot the impact the visit had and towards the end of 2010, Helena received an email from Tim, now headteacher at the school, telling her that he'd had this idea for promoting and nurturing a love of reading. How about every school having a patron of reading? He wanted to know if Helena thought that it was a good idea and if so, would she be his school's first patron? Of course Helena said yes.
What is a patron of reading? - A Patron of Reading is children's author that forms a personal attachment to, and works closely with, one school over a period of time (perhaps three years) to raise the profile of reading for pleasure with pupils, staff and parents.
What does a patron of reading do? - There are lots of things that a Patron of Reading can do, and this may vary from author to author, but here's a few suggestions from Tim and Helena...
- Visit the school (at least once a year) to maintain a physical contact.
- Write to the school to share news of books and what's happening.
- Link the school to the author website and have a designated section where children can leave comments or add writing and reviews.
- Send signed copies of books for the school library.
- Encourage individual pupils via email or Skype etc if they've achieved something special relating to reading or writing (made significant progress/won a competition/ been selected for a writing squad etc).
- Work in school with pupils on their own writing as Writer in Residence.
- Give out prizes.
- Encourage school to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge and other book related activities.
- Support staff and parents in new literacy endeavours.
- Share ideas about books to read with staff and pupils.
What does the school do? - This can vary from school to school but here are some suggestions...
- Booked the author for school visits.
- Put a link to the authors website and blog on the school website and in school newsletter.
- Include information about the author on the school website and in the school newsletter.
- Have a display about the author, their writing and their books, in the school library.
- Send stories, poems and pictures that some of the classes have produced (some of these could be put on the authors website).
- Hold a fun book quiz that could include, parents, governors, teachers, teaching assistants and pupils.
- Interact with the author by comments on blogs (parents can interact in this way too).
- Use social networking sites such as Twitter to spread the word about the role of the Patron of Reading.
- Involve the local press to further spread the word of Patrons of Reading and show what the school is doing to encourage reading for pleasure.
For more information - take a look at the Patron of Reading website by clicking here, visit Helena Pielichaty's POR page by clicking here, or visit the POR page on Ysgol Esgob Morgan's website by clicking here.
If you're interested in having me as your Patron of Reading - give me a shout.

The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors. The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower. Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale. A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (ROCK) has a 14-day RSI of 62.8, the 7-day is at 58.52, and the 3-day is resting at 35.77.
Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (ROCK) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 64.74. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
Shares of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (ROCK) have a 200-day moving average of 33.21. The 50-day is 35.85, and the 7-day is sitting at 39.31. Using a bigger time frame to assess the moving average such as the 200-day, may help block out the noise and chaos that is often caused by daily price fluctuations. In some cases, MA's may be used as strong reference points for spotting support and resistance levels.
The Average Directional Index or ADX is technical analysis indicator used to describe if a market is trending or not trending. The ADX alone measures trend strength but not direction. Using the ADX with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) may help determine the direction of the trend as well as the overall momentum. Many traders will use the ADX alongside other indicators in order to help spot proper trading entry/exit points. Currently, the 14-day ADX for Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (ROCK) is 12.33. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend. The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is another technical indicator that may be useful for traders and investors.
The Williams %R is designed to provide a general sense of when the equity might have reached an extreme and be primed for a reversal. As a general observance, the more overbought or oversold the reading displays, the more likely a reversal may take place. The 14 day Williams %R for Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (ROCK) is noted at -29.7. Many consider the equity oversold if the reading is below -80 and overbought if the indicator is between 0 and -20.

JA World
Since inception, Junior Achievement has been committed to "experiential learning". Taking it to the next level, Junior Achievement of South Florida is proud of JA World, which involves two programs: JA BizTown and JA Finance Park. These dramatic programs significantly transform how every local student is taught to view the world of work, free enterprise and their possibilities for success in it.
The importance of these programs is difficult to overstate. Because of their tremendous experiential nature, a building is required to house JA's BizTown and JA's Finance Park.
JA BizTown for 5th Graders
Within the Falcone Family JA BizTown and an identical Dave and Lorraine Thomas BizTown II, JA BizTowns creates a learning environment in which students are given opportunities for real rather than imagined activities, active rather than passive learning, and actual decision making with positive and negative consequences.
JA BizTown participants:
- Will complete 20 hours of in-class training in preparation for the culminating activity of the training - a one-day hands-on experience where they demonstrate their new skills.
- Enter a mini-city, supported by trained instructors, where they take full responsibility for roles as proprietors, civic leaders and consumers.
- Operate and patronize businesses such as a newspaper, radio station, television station, bank, electric company, restaurant, real estate firm, professional offices, governmental offices and others.
- Attempt to fulfill the goal of satisfying their customers, paying-off their business loans AND realizing a profit at the conclusion of the business day.
- Will greatly increase their knowledge of the free enterprise system
In addition to improving test scores, the students learn the concepts of teamwork, leadership, punctuality, customer service and many other skills vital to success in the workplace.
JA Finance Park for 8th Graders
When students visit the Patten Family Foundation Finance Park, they enter the world of business. They get to see, touch, and experience free enterprise on their own terms. Students study different financial decisions to be made, consider the options available, and construct a personal budget. Members of the community, including businesses and parents, are actively involved in JA Finance Park as they assist students to achieve at their highest level.
JA Finance Park participants:
- Will first prepare for the experience with their teachers during one or more weeks of classroom study.
- Then exercise this new knowledge during a day-long visit to JA Finance Park.
- Are challenged to manage an assigned identity that includes marital status, number of children, annual income, education attained and job type. They prepare budgets (to include stock investment) and visit vendors to purchase housing, food, furniture, insurance, education, automobiles, and more.
Earnings potential and career options are immediately associated with educational success. Researchers agree that the reality of budgeting and purchasing is the best tool for linking school success with the best careers.
How Is This Different?
The rationale for this initiative can be supported by reams of research on the effectiveness of experiential learning and teaching entrepreneurship at an early age. The research shows that students who learn concepts and principles via experiential exercises demonstrate greater levels of engagement, reflection, and personal responsibility associated with the learning process than students who learn via traditional classroom instructional methods. A major difference between traditional modes of classroom instruction and experiential learning is that the experiential mode of learning helps students more effectively develop intrinsic motivation for learning.
Additionally, experiential teaching activities help students to characterize their learning as more relevant to the real world.
Who Will JA World Serve?
- 48000 students in Broward and south Palm Beach County (Public and Private schools)
- Teachers from participating schools
- Parents of participating students
- Business people in Broward and south Palm Beach County
In addition to the core programs described above, the facility opens possibilities for additional uses like:
- A summer entrepreneur camp
- Adult evening economic education programs
- A community public lecture series
- Young entrepreneur club meetings
Functionally designed space to accommodate social gatherings and meeting space enables the facility to be available for use by the public. This provides a valuable resource to the community, as well as needed exposure to JA World and its programs.
For additional information call (954) 979-7100.

ECU, UNC team up on cancer care, research
Dr. Adam Asch
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 22, 2008) — The University of North Carolina's two medical schools and their cancer centers have created a partnership to advance cancer research and bring leading-edge treatment to North Carolinians.
Officials at East Carolina University's Brody School of Medicine and its Leo W. Jenkins Cancer Center, the UNC School of Medicine and its Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the UNC system signed a memorandum of understanding in December outlining basic aspects of an arrangement where they will work together to improve cancer care for North Carolinians and further research into the state's leading cause of death.
"Service to North Carolina is a key part of the university's mission, and this new partnership involving our two highly respected medical schools will help us advance and expand how we care for cancer patients, train physicians, and conduct collaborative research that benefits our citizens," said UNC President Erskine Bowles. "Working together, medical faculty and scientists at ECU and UNC-Chapel Hill can accomplish far more than they could individually. This is truly a case where two plus two can equal five."
Physicians, scientists and administrators at UNC and ECU will collaborate on research projects, patient care programs and recruitment of physicians and scientists to boost the schools' efforts to develop improved treatments and prevention strategies for cancer as well as translate scientific discovery to clinical benefit.
ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard said the agreement with Lineberger "represents another significant partnership in medical education with UNC-Chapel Hill. It will be important to the Leo Jenkins Cancer Center, to the Brody School of Medicine at ECU, and, most importantly, to the citizens of North Carolina."
UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser concurred. "This partnership exemplifies the role of top public medical schools to serve patients with leading-edge research and care," Moeser said. "North Carolina's two medical schools and their cancer centers can offer more services for more people as a result of this collaboration."
The two cancer centers already work together in some areas, said Dr. Adam Asch, associate director of the Jenkins Cancer Center. For example, oncology fellows at ECU travel to Chapel Hill to study bone marrow transplantation. Areas where the institutions might further cooperate include opening a clinic at ECU for pre- and post-transplant patients, expanding clinical trials to provide access and accrual to patients at both centers, giving ECU faculty members access to Lineberger facilities and research projects, and cancer survivorship.
Dr. Shelton Earp, UNC Lineberger director, said: "This important partnership will strengthen cancer research and care by creating an increased flow of ideas, clinical trials, prevention strategy projects, training opportunities and technologic advancements between our two institutions. Both our faculties and our patients will benefit."
In 2006, cancer passed heart disease as the leading cause of death in North Carolina. The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2007 more than 34,000 North Carolinians were diagnosed with cancer and close to 17,000 would die from their disease.
