The Check-In/Check-Out Diaries: The Hudson Valley
When planning a trip of wine tasting and farms through the Hudson Valley there is really only one rule: Do NOT drink wine the night before! Fail. Needless to say, the initial two hour drive from New York City wasn't much fun for my wife and dog, but as we hit more vineyards and saw more crazy "farm stuff" you naturally begin to feel better. "THE HUDSON VALLEY – IT'S BETTER THAN GATORADE!"
Our first stop is Dressel Farms, near New Paltz known for their apple picking and homemade donuts. The biggest hit was watching our dog (mini-dachshund known as "hotdog") go through grass piles. She acted as if this was the first grass pile she had ever seen. Actually this is true. In fact it is only about the third time she has seen grass. She is 100% city dog!
The first official vineyard stop was Robibero Family Vineyard, a sprawling vineyard complete with an elevated tasting room overlooking the many acres. Good white wine. Purchased three bottles. The next stop was Adair Winery, a winery with tastings in a large red barn just off hwy 30. Okay white wine. Purchased two bottles. For most of the trip radio station 101.5 was counting down the 1015 greatest rock songs. A lot of Van Halen and that strange lineup that happens with countdown shows of The Ramones followed by The Steve Miller Band followed by The Beatles. Also, I'm pretty sure "Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones was played multiple times. After a quick stop at McDonald's for cheeseburgers and chicken wraps we headed South on hwy 30 and stopped at Palaia Winery. If you ever wanted to taste wine with lesbian hippies straight from the sixties THIS is the place! Average white wine. Purchased two bottles. Next we headed to the Bed and Breakfast, located in Warwick.
Meadowlark Farms is located outside of the town itself and is small. It is also amazing! There are dogs, cats, and even a horse. The owner even took a picture of our dog, moving in close to make sure we were not included. After settling in there was a sense that we were missing something, then it hit us: Need to go to another winery. As luck would have it, the Warwick Winery was located a couple miles away. Good music and tastings made for a great end to the day. We discussed food, but instead decided on trying out an Italian place that was highly recommended. We stuck to the tastings. Great white wine. Purchased three bottles. All was good. Then it happened…
I do feel for the restaurants. Seeing the ZIPCAR sticker on the side of the Prius as it pulls into the parking lot they know there's a good chance they are being intruded on by city folk. Add a dog and now it's ON! This is how we arrive at the Italian restaurant, Daitaj.
We are seated in the outside seating area and served water when we are asked if we would be okay with switching tables. The waiter points to the end of the row and we oblige, get up and begin moving. What happens next is this: 1. A dining table is placed in the middle of the lawn (50 feet from any other table) 2. Chairs are added. 3. The waiter points to us and then at the table that is now 40 feet from the road and 50 feet from another table. There isn't a lot more to say. We ate in silence, mostly because there wasn't anyone around us. Lots of wine was consumed, lots of laughter, and there was a large bumble bee that almost turned the event into an even larger spectacle.
Back at Meadowlark Farms we split a wine on a side deck area where strange bugs and noises surrounded us in the deep covers of darkness. It felt like being on the set for Blair Witch 2.
Waking up the next morning we have breakfast and pack up. Too early for vineyards we find MONEY: The largest garden Gnome in the world is in upstate New York. We drive to Kessler Farms and there it is. I've seen the leaning tower of Pisa and The Coliseum in Rome. The Gnome is still third of the three, but I'm willing to discuss as a group. It's pretty awesome! In addition to the Gnome you can find mini-golf and a "milk a cow" experience. These three items do not go together for me, but hey, different strokes for different folks.
On our way back we stop at Brotherhood Winery, create our own tasting and buy three more bottles of wine. We leave and it's not long before we spot trouble: NEW JERSEY! The George Washington Bridge is backed up something nasty. Leave it to Jersey to try and screw up the weekend. After an exhausting two hours we make it back.
Finally home we drop off the Zipcar and unload the bottles of wine. Many bottles rest on our counter. I'm exhausted and staring at all of the bottles. After all the driving, tasting, eating in front lawns, and Jersey bridge drama I'm reminded of The Stones and the lyrics: "Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away"…

Julius Caesar Act V, Scene IV
Brutus' group goes back to the battle, and Brutus leaves with a rallying cry. Cato and Lucillius run into the battle, Lucillius attempting to shield Brutus from death by claiming he is Brutus. In the ensuing fight, Cato is killed, and Lucillius is taken by soldiers who think he is Brutus and do not kill him. Antony enters, hearing cries that Brutus is taken, and corrects the soldier's mistake, but commands that Lucillius be taken alive because he is potentially valuable as an ally.

It was almost night time so we stayed inside, and closed our eyes. I whispered a thought that I had. We slept while holding hands couldn't sleep the cold. You said, "Just being near you for awhile is enough." I thought you have the most wonderful sense of feeling right, and the most wonderful sense of being here tonight.

Excellent product; I've been using it for over 10 years. I used to experience a lot of stomach pain and since using it this has vastly improved.
By Miss A Barsby - 27 September 2014
I have had a sore tongue, split with fissures for a long time, because of a dry mouth, and antibiotics can cause this to flare up badly. I have been adding the powder when I make yoghurt and also each day on my cereal, and I think on the whole it has eased though will never cure it.

I have suffered with IBS ever since I can remember- some days so badly the pain was excruciating. Since using this... it has stopped- completely! I wouldn't be without it now- I've been recommending it to any of my friends who suffer with the same condition.
By Mr P D Routley - 07 June 2013
Great stuff, really helps with my IBS symptoms
But it very tricky to get the spoon out of the jar!
By Jan - 26 January 2013
Gave this religiously to my 8-month-old and 3-year-old before, during and after going to Zimbabwe and they avoided dodgy tummies, unlike my husband and me. Also some eczema behind my baby's ears has cleared up since using it. Great product, thank you.

Monday, Jan. 6, marks the 12th day of Christmas and the last official day of the holiday festivities. For those who have yet to do so, it also means it's time to take down Yuletide decor and pack everything away until next December. If you're already fatigued from the hustle and bustle of the holidays, however, the prospect of dismantling the tree and boxing up all those ornaments and decorations can seem overwhelming. Luckily, it doesn't have to be. By implementing a few tricks from local organizing mavens, you can take the process from bothersome to blissful and keep your home spic-and-span throughout the rest of the year.
Farewell to the holidays
Remember how time-consuming it was decorating your home for the holidays? Did you find it stressful? Melinda Massie of Organizing with a Side of Fabulous says this is a common malady that compels most people to throw their Christmas decorations in a box (or two) in January and consider the task complete.
It might feel like a shortcut, but it's not that smooth a move, she says.
"It doesn't take a lot of time to put things away properly, though it feels like it," Massie says, adding that the first step to a successful Christmas clean-up is to try and make the experience enjoyable. For instance, playing music and having a glass of your favorite wine or beverage on hand is an easy way to create a relaxing atmosphere that helps ease the chore.
Also, it can be a good idea to create a game plan, prioritizing what you plan to take down and pack up first. Even if you jump in head first, she recommends a section-by-section approach.
"Instead of tackling the whole thing, break it down into bite-size pieces," Massie says. "It becomes significantly more manageable."
Some people start off with the tree, but Massie reiterates the idea of taking baby steps.
"If you do other small areas first, then you feel like you've accomplished something," she says.
Because of this, she highly recommends taking down outdoor Christmas lights and the Christmas tree last.
Massie suggests organizing ornaments by size and shape for storage. Place egg carton or sock dividers inside plastic bins for a storage option that won't break the bank or require you to purchase anything new, she says. If you'd rather spring for something more elaborate, Ashley Easley of MasterPeace Solutions is a fan of the telescopic rolling ornament storage bag from Christmas Lights Etc.
"Rolling ornament storage bags such as these are a clever and safe way to store your tree's decor," she says. Easley also suggests taking special precautions with more delicate or valuable decor items.
"Be sure to take special care for homemade ornaments by wrapping [them] in tissue, putting [them] in a zip-lock bag and labeling," she says.
Massie suggests wrapping Christmas lights in small sections so that the end result is a string of lights split into two even bundles. When stored like this, the lights are easier to check for burned out bulbs, she says. And while we're on the topic of making Christmas decorating easy for next year, Easley offers another suggestion to help minimize future holiday grief.
"When putting away your Christmas decorations for the year, take inventory of what you did and did not use this year," she says. "This will make next year's decorating much easier."
It's important to also point out that unloading unwanted holiday gear is an important part of a successful Christmas clean-up.
"If there is anything you didn't like, then get rid of it immediately," Massie says.
And to reduce the possibility of buyer's remorse or unnecessary hoarding, Easley offers a word of advice to anyone who frequents post-holiday sales:
"Don't fall into the trap of buying everything you can find at 50 percent off," she says. "If you are in need of something in particular, that's OK — otherwise, it's hoarding. Let the store be your storage unit. Nothing is ever really on sale anyway — it's just clever marketing to get you to buy things you don't need."
Cheers to a clean and shiny new year
When you've finally put away the last box of ornaments and your home's order has been restored, it's time to sit back and enjoy a job well done.
But don't get too comfortable yet. With the right mind-set and initiative, your home's post-Christmas cleanliness can become a year-round thing.
"Being organized is not an endgame. It's a daily habit that has to be cultivated," Massie explains.
Her formula for success? Setting aside a small amount of time each day to "reset" your home by putting everything back in its place. Making cleaning a daily ritual prevents clutter from snowballing and, eventually, becoming an overwhelming problem, she says.
To make the most of the time you devote to the process, Massie also recommends purchasing a timer and setting it for an alotted period each day. Not only is the timer great for increasing motivation to get the task at hand done, it can help get the whole family involved, she says. For kids, in particular, it's a terrific tool for turning the concept of cleaning into a game, she says.
Easley says the start of the new year is also a good opportunity to review and schedule those "one of these days" household projects that you would like to accomplish in the next 12 months. She suggests creating a list of everything that you want to do.
"Write down the steps and the cost, then prioritize accordingly," she says. "Put dates on your planner that you will be working on these projects."
At the end of the day, Massie says, it's realistic to acknowledge that most homes will never be perfectly clean, organized or project-free. But if you set attainable goals for your home, then maintaining a high level of year-round organization and tidiness is not as far-fetched as most people would think.
"It's just like exercising," Massie says. "It's a daily choice you have to make."

What it says on the tin.
One of my favorite bloggers is Zippy Catholic, who is fond of saying that many problems of liberalism can be explained as sociopathic manifestations of reality pushing through. That is, liberalism may be ideologically confused and contradictory, especially the form known as leftism, but all this means is that it treats normal things sociopathically.
We can see this with leftism and its extremist views on race, sex, family and so forth. Clan and kin matter, who you are and where you come from matter, but leftists are sociopathic about this obvious set of truths. They say clan and kin don't matter while making very sure to save some job slots for their own children, spouses and fellow travelers. Racial and even ethnic groups where everyone's the same skin color are different in behavior and preferred hobbies and forms of government and civilization (towns, villages, etc.) Again, an obvious truth, but leftists go all sociopathic on it by pretending those differences are trivial while demanding everyone behave like specific subcultures of white ethnic leftists in a handful of Anglo-descended nations (aka, the sociopathy of the SWPL).
We can also see this with women and politics. Women pursue politics as a response to the ways that industrialization and mass society scale larger and larger, peeling away the roles they would otherwise have. Liberalism sociopathically encourages women to pursue political solutions to their social problems, while stripping more and more traditional roles and protections away from them.
I think this is a key major point in having a normal society and a properly ordered hestia, understanding that sociopathic (anti-social, perverse, distorted) descriptions of real things are still describing real things that should be preserved. We should care about clan and kin. We should want women to be productive and happy in their home-focused spheres, with exceptional women being treated as just that. We should want men to be able to lead and support their families and have masculine spheres for the men (including but not limited to holy spheres, as not all are called to such lives) who are not married. The American conservative "colorblind" "patriotic" thing is frail and unnatural and doesn't cut to the heart of why people are so alone and disordered. Some of the wacky hijinks of the leftists do, though, under all the rhetorical tricks and misdirection.

Body Measurements
Under Bust - It is important to exhale when measuring your ribcage! This measurement is important if you wanted your suit to clasp in the back instead of tie. Most of our tops tie in the back, so this measurement is only necessary when ordering Scrunch Tube tops, or if you specify that you do NOT want your top to tie in the back.
Over Bust - Tape measure should wrap around above your chest and under your arms, starting in the back and meeting in the front. This measurement is most accurate when the tape measure is parallel to the floor all around and does not fall loose. Not too tight either! Tops that require this measurement are tops that do NOT tie in the back. Which in our case, are the Scrunch Tube tops, Sweetheart Tube tops and Bandeau tops.
Cross Breast - Measure your breast from the cleavage area to the outside. (Where it meets your armpit). Use your nipple as a center guide to know where to place your tape measure. If your breasts are enhanced or naturally perky, you may do this while standing up. If not, you should be wearing your best fitting, NON padded bra, and measure while laying down. This measurement is necessary for all type of tops, just to give us a clear picture of what size will be best for you.
Bust -Measure the fullest part of the breast. Make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor and does not fall too loose or snug too tight. This measurement is necessary for all types of tops, just to give us a clear picture of what size will be best for you.
Torso - This measurement is only needed when asking for a one-piece suit. Measure the length of your body from your ribcage (under bust) to the crotch seam. (Not curving the tape measure at the seam)
Hips - Your hips are the wides part of your body. This may vary! For some, this may be the lower part of the stomach. Make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor all the way around and is not too loose or too snug. This measurement is required for every type of bottom when ordering a custom suit.
Front Height - Again, this measurement will vary upon desired height. Wear your favorite fitting underwear or swimsuit bottoms and measure from the crotch seam (curve the tape measure at the seam) to your desired height. If you are not wearing your favorite fitting bottoms, you can still measure this. Just add or subtract more inches to make it more of a high-rise/low-rise fit. This is the most important measurement and will be needed for every single bottom when ordering a custom suit!
Suit Line - The placement of where your suit 'sits' will vary for each individual as this is more of a preference. But still important! This is NOT your hips! We suggest putting on your favorite fitting underwear or swimsuit bottoms and measuring exactly where they 'sit'. This measurement is only required when ordering a bottom that does NOT tie. Such as our Lace Waist bottoms, Full-Back bottoms or Scrunch Boy-Short bottoms.
|Please note that our sizes run smaller than average, with patterns that have less coverage than your typical bathing suit!

Last month, France presented Bob Dylan with its highest civilian prize, the Legion of Honor. At the ceremony, the French culture minister gushed about how Mr. Dylan had inspired a whole generation to push for peace and civil rights, about how he was inspired by Verlaine and Rimbaud in his fight for justice and freedom.
It turns out that just days before the award was pinned on Mr. Dylan's lapel, a Parisian prosecutor had filed preliminary charges against Mr. Dylan for violating a law that restricts free speech. The French authorities are investigating Mr. Dylan for "public injury" and "incitement to hatred." The timing was strange since the inquiry involves comments made more than a year ago to Rolling Stone magazine. Also, the full transcript of his remarks makes it clear he was decrying racism rather than trying to incite racial hatred.
"It's a distraction," the singer-provocateur said in the September 2012 interview. "People at each other's throats just because they are of a different color. It's the height of insanity, and it will hold any nation back — or any neighborhood back. Or any anything back. Blacks know that some whites didn't want to give up slavery — that if they had their way, they would still be under the yoke, and they can't pretend they don't know that. If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood. It's doubtful that America's ever going to get rid of that stigmatization. It's a country founded on the backs of slaves."
The Croatians objected, complaining that his comment smears all Croatians, past and present. Following publication of the comment, the Representative Council of the Croatian Community and Institutions in France filed a complaint under France's hate-speech law. The council says it wants a public apology. So far, Mr. Dylan has not responded.
Mr. Dylan could have phrased his thoughts better, but this should not be a case for the courts.Continue reading the main story

A team from the Philadelphia office of accounting, tax and business consulting firm Citrin Cooperman raised more than $5,500 for the American Cancer Society during Relay for Life in Ocean City, N.J., June 22-23.
As the top-earning team, Citrin Cooperman Cares was especially motivated by the event's top-earning participant: their team captain and firm partner Jeff Gittler, who will celebrate one year of being cancer-free in August.
"I hope that my success will be an inspiration for others who are similarly diagnosed," stated Gittler, who was awaiting surgery to treat kidney cancer in June 2011. "There is a light at the end of the tunnel after a cancer diagnosis. I would like to thank my colleagues who participated in this year's Relay for Life, as well as the wonderful donors who helped us far exceed our fundraising goal of $1,000."
Gitler personally raised more than $2,100.
During the 24-hour Relay for Life events, participant teams camp out at and take turns running or walking around a path or track while remembering lost loved ones or honoring those fighting the disease.
"Citrin Cooperman is proud to support the American Cancer Society and our own Jeff Gittler through the firm's participation in Relay for Life," said Philadelphia managing partner Mark S. Carrow, who participated in the event, in a statement. "We thank our team members and donors for their assistance this year, and look forward to supporting and participating in Relay 2013."

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
The other day, Lesley wrote about Erfolgtraurigkeit, the flagellation that some of us inflict on ourselves whenever someone else around us does well. When I read it, I started thinking about Julieanne's piece begging people to stop saying they HATE celebrities.
It feels, to me, like these are facets of jealousy -- or envy, which is technically about things people have instead of the people themselves. And then Emily sent around this link. It's a post from Hello Giggles about 10 people the author is jealous of -- and knows she shouldn't be. It made me wonder about jealousy, about the ways we give into it and the ways in which it makes our own lives harder.
I am not a particularly jealous person, though I definitely fall prey to that Erfolgtraurigkeit. Still, I rarely look at someone else and wish I were in their shoes.
This is largely because I have phenomenal shoes, y'all. (Just kidding. But not really.)
It's also because no matter how awesome someone else's life looks, I figure they have their own trials. No one has a perfect life and while I might not be able to imagine someone else's problems based on their image, odds are good I am spectacularly ill-equipped to deal with those issues. The Hello Giggles post acknowledges this, too.
Here is a thing that sometimes happens: I'm fat (as you might have noticed). And if a fat person is critical of a thin person (no matter what the reason), someone always takes the opportunity to say, "You're just jealous." It happens to other people, too -- it's called "sour grapes," right?
This is a pretty effective means of derailing criticism -- it dismisses any critique as invalid. It assumes that there are hierarchies in which jealousy is automatic; it assumes fat women will always be jealous of thin women, poor people will always be jealous of rich people, "regular" people will always be jealous of famous people, and single women will always be jealous of engaged women.
And that sets up or maybe just reinforces that some kinds of people are just better than other kinds of people.
I can't get behind that.
Let me back up though -- defining our terms is a thing, after all. Jealousy and envy are used pretty interchangeably at this point but technically jealousy is about human relationships (and the fear and insecurity that grows out of them), while envy is about possessions or positions and wishing both that you had a thing and that the other person lacked it.
All of that sounds like a recipe for being miserable and unhappy, honestly. I mean, it's hard enough to feel like you are somehow not measuring up to another person. What does it do to us if we are then sitting around feeling hateful about other people that we perceive as having things they don't deserve?
Doesn't that feel like we're using all our own energy on feeling unpleasant things about people instead of going out and doing things?
And where does all of this intersect with the completely valid anger that is felt against people participating in various oppressions?
My first therapist, back when I wasn't entirely sure I HAD feelings in the first place, was a real feel-your-feelings kind of person. And her approach to these sorts of things was to acknowledge that, yeah, that person has a thing that I want.
But instead of then focusing on that person, she had me figure out why I wanted that thing, what it stood for, what benefit it would supposedly do for me. That way I was taking a supposedly negative emotion and making it useful somehow.
In hindsight, I've been pretty thoroughly trained, haven't I? Maybe that's what I get for being so focused on process and avoiding being miserable.
Avoiding being miserable is pretty much my life goal.
By and large, I like the me I am now, and if I had a different life, I'd be a different me. That has a way of staving off jealousy as well, I suspect.
Are you a jealous person? How do you handle it? Are you convinced that emotions need to be useful the way I sometimes am?

Imagine what it is like feeling drained of energy every day, feeling completely exhausted & always fatigued. Imagine being is awful pain everyday & sometimes strong pain killers don't even help the pain at all. Imagine what it feels like to feel so weak & sometimes even holding your mobile phone is a struggle. Imagine how you feel when you can't go out & do things that all your school friends are doing – if you have any left as they all left you when you got poorly as they don't understand why you can't do things like they do & why you can't attend school even if you explain to them over & over again. Imagine what it's like lying in bed, feeling so tired all you want to do is sleep although your brain is racing & you're in so much pain that you can't possibly sleep so you lie awake in bed for hours & when you wake up you feel as though you haven't slept at all. Imagine getting confused over the tiniest little things, forgetting things straight away & spelling things wrong all the time.
Very sad news from Denmark: Danish Board of Health threatens to commit seriously ill ME-patient to a psychiatric hospital
The Danish Board of Health says that the diagnosis of ME is the same as insanity and wants to forcibly remove a 23-year old woman, Karina, from her family home. This could happen as soon as May 2nd. Karina is totally bed-bound, is extremely light and sound sensitive and is t…oo weak to talk. She is so extremely ill that there is a real chance that a move could be fatal. Karina's parents have been trying to get permission to set up an IV at home to help keep Karina alive, but instead the health department decided that Karina is mentally ill and should be removed. The family has been repeatedly told by Danish doctors that the diagnosis of ME is not recognized.
"They do not understand how sick an ME-patient can be with this disease and their ignorance can now have fatal consequences for Karina, "says Rebecca Hansen, Chairman of the ME Association in Denmark.
Please help us by spreading this story on-line and to the media. We would like to get journalists interested in writing about it.

Hi All
Today has been a rather quiet day today which has been good. I have had a lot on my mind recently and just needed some chill time away from life for a a bit. So today I looked for jobs, sent some emails, checked my Facebook and basically learned to relax more. I also started reading Dear John book and it's coming on great.
Then at 8pm I watched Holby City and watched whatever is on the box
Day 6 20/04/2012Published 04/20/2012 by myworldmyblog
Today wasn't the best of the days for me as I haven't feeling my usual self recently so I didn't really have my willpower, I did go to university just I wasn't my usual happy self. My first seminar of the day went really well though and I am really getting into the essays for university and then I did some of my ucas form. I am reapplying to Social Work Degree this year even though I am already at university and made me fee better. Then came my second seminar and because my Iworks haven't been working very well recently I wasn't able to send my friends the documents they requested over the easter holidays so it put my project back and again I felt really guilty. Then I did some shopping and went home and for the rest of the day I chilled with my computer and some TV.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Sen. Greg Ball, R, C, I–Patterson, and Assemblyman David Buchwald, D–White Plains, have announced that the state legislature has passed a bill that Buchwald authored and Ball championed that would require local governments to display the Prisoners of War and Missing in Action flag when it is provided to the municipality by a local veterans organization.
The legislation will now be sent to the desk of Gov. Andrew Cuomo for approval.
"It was an honor to be part of the passing of such a meaningful piece of legislation. We must never forget those who have sacrificed so much. This nation must always show resolve in recognizing and honoring our beloved POW/MIA heroes. It is critically important that all of those who have served our country are recognized for their sacrifice, and that is especially true for this special class of heroes," said Ball.
"The POW/MIA flag is a symbol of respect and honor, as well as a reminder of the enormous sacrifices made by the men and women who have served our country," Buchwald said. "Displaying this flag is an important way to carry on the tradition of honoring our nation's veterans and military families."
The POW/MIA flag was developed by the National League of Families to remind all citizens about the U.S. military personnel who were taken as prisoners or listed as missing in action.
The flag was officially recognized by Congress in 1998 and was authorized to fly each year on several national observances, including Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day. Congress also designated the third Friday in September as National POW/MIA Recognition Day.
The bill passed requires local municipalities to display the flag on these six days as well.

If science can prove some things in the bible as being true why ignore it?
One big question brought up by science in the movie is that no one at the time genesis was written had this scientific knowledge yet they get it right so where did it come from?
Originally posted by timetothink
Did you even watch the movie to see what they are talking about?
At approximately 1 second after the Big Bang neutrinos decouple and begin traveling freely through space.
Before decoupling occurs most of the photons in the universe are interacting with electrons and protons in the photon–baryon fluid. The universe is opaque or "foggy" as a result. There is light but not light we could observe through telescopes. The baryonic matter in the universe consisted of ionized plasma, and it only became neutral when it gained free electrons during "recombination," thereby releasing the photons creating the CMB. When the photons were released (or decoupled) the universe became transparent. Source

The thesis of Aviezer's book, In the Beginning… Biblical Creation and Science, is that contrary to common misconceptions, cutting edge scientific developments have actually brought physics into closer harmony with Genesis than ever before. Aviezer analyzes the biblical days of creation one at a time, matching up the events described with elements of the scientific theory of the universe's origins. But first he makes one proviso upon which the rest of his hypothesis depends: the "days" referred to in Genesis should not be understood as 24 hour periods but as important stages in the development of the world. This interpretation is drawn from many traditional Bible commentaries, based on the fact that before the creation of the sun on the fourth day, the terms day and night could not possibly have carried their commonplace meanings. Filling the Gaps Aviezer's premise is that the Big Bang theory confirms the first verse of the Bible, but that in contrast to modern physics, which by its own admission is unable to discern what happened before the Big Bang, Genesis clearly describes the cause: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." God's command "let there be light" refers to the appearance of the primeval fireball, containing all the matter and energy of the present-day universe, and the chaos--tohu va-vohu--described in the Bible matches the random and chaotic condition of the universe in its initial state. Finally, "God separated the light from the darkness" refers to the formation of atoms, the consequent freeing of photons and the flooding of the universe with electromagnetic radiation
The case carefully advanced by Aviezer hit the headlines with the publication of Gerald Schroeder's bestselling Genesis and the Big Bang, a more radical book in terms of both style and content. Since Schroeder advances essentially the same ideas as Aviezer, I'll focus on two key differences between the writers' arguments. First: Aviezer was content to interpret the "days" of creation figuratively. Not so Schroeder. For him, Genesis is a literal account of the scientifically established process of creation. He resolves the contradiction between six days and 15 billion years by invoking Einstein's theory of relativity, which asserts that rather than being an absolute value, the flow of time is influenced by motion and gravitational force. Time being relative, six days in one frame of reference could well be equivalent to 15 billion years in another. Since there was no possibility of objectively measuring the time involved in the creation process, Schroeder draws the audacious conclusion that six days represented the elapsed time from none other than God's perspective. This claim raises difficult religious questions. Since relativistic time dilation is a function of motion and gravity, are we to understand that these forces operate on God, in other words that God is part of the physical universe? It seems that in an attempt to extricate himself from an annoying textual problem (the discrepancy between the age of the universe according to Genesis and the Big Bang theory), Schroeder has opened the door on a much more significant theological one. Second: Schroeder claims that people who think that Genesis clashes with modern physics have not read the Bible carefully enough

this will you get you started on understanding.
A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone.
For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday, when it is past, and as a watch in the night – Psalms 90:4
You have to open your mind and not take the bible literally like I keep saying.

Billy Pigg (1902–1968) was an English player of Northumbrian smallpipes. He was a Vice-President and an influential member of the Northumbrian Pipers Society from 1930 until his death. He learned the instrument from several pipers including Tom and Henry Clough. He won many competitions in the 1930s, certainly playing in the traditional staccato style characteristic of the instrument. In the 1950s he was noted for playing not only Northumbrian, but also Scottish and Irish tunes on the instrument. He also wrote many fine tunes for the instrument. A.D. Schofield and Julia Say produced a biography and tune book, The Border Minstrel, published by the Northumbrian Pipers' Society in 1997. This includes all his known compositions. These include the slow airs The Gypsy's Lullaby and Border Spirit, marches in 6/8 and 4/4 such as Bonny Woodside and The Old Drove Road, many hornpipes, including The Carrick Hornpipe and The Biddlestone Hornpipe, jigs such as Coffee Bridge and reels such as Cote Walls and Anne of Hindhope. One of his most spectacular pieces is Bill Charlton's Fancy, a 6/8 variation set. His version of the traditional tune, The Wild Hills of Wannies with his own variations, was entirely distinctive, and a good example of his Highland-influenced style.
During the 1950s Forster Charlton recorded his playing on many occasions. In 1958 Royce Wilson, an American working in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, acquired a tape recorder and made some recordings. Other recordings were made by the BBC and by the School of Scottish Studies. An album of selected recordings made by Forster Charlton was issued as "The Border Minstrel" on the Leader label in 1971, and re-released on CD in 2004. Through these recordings of Pigg's own compositions and his repertoire of traditional tunes, Pigg became influential throughout the world of bagpiping. Some other recordings may be heard on the FARNE website[1]. Most players of the instrument will have several of Pigg's compositions in their repertoire.
Playing styleEdit
The distinguishing characteristic of Pigg's playing style is the use of complex open-fingered ornaments, in imitation of Irish and Highland piping. His father was a Highland piper, while Billy himself had great interest in Irish music. By contrast, most respected pipers before him would have stuck with an almost wholly staccato style. Tom Clough considered that any departure from this, a style where the chanter was closed and silent between any two notes, would be "a grievous error in smallpipe playing".
The popular Northumbrian pipe tune Holey Ha'penny was originally Irish, known there as The Chorus Jig. Pigg recorded it, as had Tom Clough in the 1920s. The contrast between the two styles can easily be heard between these recordings.
The more open-fingered style was very successful for Pigg's music, allowing him a greater range of expression than a more traditional style. However, his tempos were ferociously fast and somewhat erratic, making his music unsuitable for dancing, and he was notoriously hard to accompany. Unfortunately, he was suffering badly from worsening ill-health throughout the 1950s and 1960s, when all the recordings were made, and it is certain his playing must have suffered. However, the best of his recordings have a wildness and passion which is both inspiring and wholly distinctive.
He has been hugely influential, and many pipers seek to emulate his style, notably Adrian Schofield.

Following the announcement of Diageo's partnership with the NBA, Crown Royal was highly present at the NBA All Star Weekend in February.
Crown Royal sponsored three parties at The Metropolitan nightclub, where celebrities from the entertainment, sports and fashion industries Reigned On all weekend long. To kick off the star-studded events, Crown Royal partnered with Kenny Smith to host his annual Mardi Gras All Star Bash.

2014 Triumph America Two-tone, 2014 Triumph America This bike isn t just built to look a certain way, it s built to feel a certain way.The America is engineered around a unique engine so you get a truly authentic ride. One that connects you to Triumph s long and rich cruiser heritage.We re talking about its distinctive, air-cooled parallel-twin that gives you the riding experience you expect from this class but with a very individual British flavour.Taking classic cruiser appeal and blending it with Triumph reliability and everyday practicality. Standard Features May Include: Styling Pure cruiser with a British twist. With its eye-catching chromed and polished instruments, headlight bowl, shrouded front forks, twin rear shocks and engine covers. From the moment you see the America, and every second you ride, it feels every bit as authentic as it looks. Engine Built to be ridden, not just to look good. The America s 865cc parallel-twin puts out a healthy 61PS with strong torque at low revs, peaking at 72Nm at just 3300rpm. Ideal for urban cruising at low revs but with enough muscle for serious long distances at motorway speeds, even with a passenger or luggage on board.This vertical twin is a true original. Drawing on our heritage from fifties and sixties parallel twins and coupling that with modern technology and build standards, the engine in the America has a laid-back riding character that s unique to the cruiser world.An engine like this is about more than just the numbers. It s about the way it feels. It responds to the throttle obediently, allowing you to accelerate confidently. And we ve carefully modulated its vibration levels to allow you to connect with the ride without it becoming intrusive on long trips. Then there s the off-beat 270-degree firing interval and mellow soundtrack that gives substance to the America s cruiser styling for a bike that sounds, looks and, above all, feels amazing. Suspension With forks raked out at a shallow angle and feature polished shrouding and silver legs that match the chrome springs and covers of the laid-down, twin rear shocks. The America s suspension works hard to provide laid-back comfort and road feedback in true cruiser style. Handling Long, low and stable like a cruiser should be.Everything about the America s chassis is focussed on balance and we ve matched each component carefully to maintain that steady, intuitive feel.As a result, it s agile enough for an exciting ride when the road gets interesting and is more capable through the corners than most of its rivals.It s so well-balanced that it is ideal for inexperienced riders as well as a satisfying cruise for those with a lot of miles behind them. Brakes Never too sharp or inti

2014 Triumph Bonneville T100, JUST TRADED IN. ONE OWNER. PURCHASED FROM OUR TRIUMPH DEALERSHIP. IT HAS HAD FULL INSPECTION AND IS LIKE NEW. COMES WITH WINDSHIELD AND HIGHWAY PEGS. SAVE BIG ON THIS BONNEVILLE.THIS T100 WILL NOT BE HERE LONG. 2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 Two-Tone We took the most famous name in motorcycling and gave it some extra 60s style.Still distinctly a Bonneville with its smooth pulling, fuel injected 865cc parallel twin. We ve added some visual tweaks like twin peashooter exhausts, chrome engine covers, black instrument surround with tacho, a Triumph logo on the seat, two-tone paint, spoked wheels and fork gaiters.So, it still looks, sounds and feels like a proper motorcycle should. And it still connects you to over 50 years of heritage but is built with everything that comes with modern engineering too. Standard Features May Include: Bodywork Two tone paint work complete with hand painted coach lines adorn the T100. Engine From day one Bonnevilles have been built to be ridden, not just to look good. Today, this 865cc parallel twin puts out a healthy 68PS with 68Nm of torque at its peak, with plenty available at low revs so you get most use out of it.The fuelling is controlled by a sophisticated management computer programmed for clean emissions and a smooth, predictable throttle response. So there s enough performance to be fun for experienced riders but not so much that will intimidate riders with fewer miles behind them. Frame All of our extensive chassis experience and technology has gone into the Bonneville T100 s simple tubular steel construction. Providing easy, neutral steering and exceptional balance even at low speeds. Suspension Looking good whilst working hard isn t easy. But the 1960s style twin shocks fitted at the back come with a chrome finish and modern damping internals. As do the traditional-looking forks. And that makes the ride of your Bonneville T100 smooth and controlled, even on bumpy roads and cornering at speed. Brakes We ve given the T100 a single disc brake at the front for a strong, progressive feel and a second disc for the rear for plenty of stopping force whilst maintaining the overall balance of the chassis so every moment of your ride is confident and controlled. Handling We ve built a traditional style tubular steel cradle design and included the engine as an integral component for a stiffer, stronger chassis and more precise ride. Combining classic looks with modern engineering so that you get iconic Bonneville riding characteristics and modern handling. Riding Position Like all modern Bonnevilles, the T100 is a bike for riders new to big bikes and also those riders who are into classic styling. The lo

Standing alone in the 600 super sport class with its unique 675cc three cylinder engine and striking looks is the Triumph Daytona 675. The nature of the 600cc competition has placed manufacturers in a cycle of incremental refinements to track focused bikes, but Triumph has broken that wide open with the Daytona 675. The compact three cylinder engine has allowed for a very narrow chassis which improves rider feel while cornering. Despite being down a cylinder in comparison with the industry giants, Triumph s engine is putting down an impressive 124bhp and a class leading 54lb/ft torque revving all the way up to 14,000rpm. The compact chassis is complemented by fully adjustable suspension in both front and rear, and in house developed brakes that minimize fading under heavy usage. At just 365lbs, the Daytona is equipped with all the elements to be called a true super sport machine.

The Rocket III has carved a unique niche in the clone-like cruiser market and existsin a class all its own with its striking looks, stunning performance and incrediblespecification. But while it may be the largest capacity production motorcycle in theworld it's designed first and foremost to be ridden. Good lock-to-lock movement,seamless fuel-injection and a low center of gravity combine to make low speedmaneuvering surprisingly easy, while the steering geometry and overall length give asecurely planted and confident feel. Added to this is generous ground clearance,making the Rocket III a truly useable machine that will tour highways, cruise streetsand hustle turns with effortless ability.The Rocket III is not only the world's largest capacity production motorcycle; it's also a bike without equal. Its unique, fuel-injected, triple cylinder engine has a cubiccapacity of 2,294 cc – that's 140 cubic inches – and uses massive, 101.6 mmdiameter pistons. It makes 147 ft.lbs. of torque at 2,750 rpm. This incredible outputmeans even two-up the Rocket III accelerates incredibly hard without obvious effort,and relentless forward motion is just a slight twist of throttle away.Twin butterfly valves for each throttle body are used to give precise control over the engine and this set-up allows the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to vary the mixture flow and ignition map dependent on gear selected and road speed. The torque curve is thus tailored specifically for each gear ratio. And the result is impressive – over 90 percent of the engine's prodigious torque output is available at just 2,000 rpm, giving incredible levels of flexibility and making the five-speed gearbox (nearly) redundant. New for 2006 is the black finished engine.The Rocket III's chassis, as you'd expect is something quite special. It centers on alarge tubular steel twin-spine frame, which houses the motor while maintenance-freeshaft drive lays power to the massive 240/50-section rear tire. The front brakes aresports bike specification – twin four-piston calipers mated with 320 mm floating discs– and provide awesome stopping power. The rear brake, developed by Bremboespecially, is a single twin caliper and 316 mm disc.The 43 mm upside down forks and twin rear shocks, built specifically for the RocketIII, add composure and supple compliance. This and the relaxed, comfortableergonomics allow the rider to take full advantage of the extended range provided bythe fuel-efficient engine and huge 6.3 gal US making the Rocket III a perfect tool forthose long, high-mileage days in the saddle.The ability to personalize the Rocket III was integral to the design philosophy and asthe bike went through its prototype stages so did the myriad of factory-approvedparts design

Just a few short years ago a cruiser with the sheer performance of the Rocket III would have been an impossible daydream, an engineer's 'what if. . . The Rocket III is a whirling, mechanized cyclone of power. Its three fuel-injected cylinders displace a monstrous 2,294cc and pump out 147lb-ft of torque. That amazing output is fed to the giant 240-section rear tire via a five-speed gearbox and shaft drive, while the massively strong steel frame, upside-down forks and Daytona 955i spec four-piston brake calipers elementally contain the Rocket III's potential.But the Rocket III is in possession of fine balance. Of course it demands respect on all levels but it remains a truly useable machine, and will tour highways, cruise streets and hustle turns with effortless ability. The Rocket III may be the largest capacity production motorcycle in the world but it's designed to be ridden.True individuality is rare and the Rocket III has forever defined a complete generation of motorcycles. Everything about it is special. Its muscular performance, stunning looks, attention to detail and monumental presence are simply unique.Which means the Rocket III isn't just a special motorcycle. It's a truly an extraordinary one.

It also hasextra bite, thanks to the full-blooded, 865 cc, parallel twin-cylinder engine thatpowers it. Delivering throaty performance – echoed by the mellow backbeat from itstwin pea-shooter exhaust pipes – a bore and stroke of 90 x 68 mm, compression ratio of 9.2:1 and 360 degree firing interval add up to a responsive, punchy and soulful power unit.The T100's chassis thrives on the extra power and torque available from the enginedelivering secure road-holding, effortless steering and easy-going manners – asyou'd expect of a motorcycle drawn from Bonneville stock. The tubular steel frame,41 mm telescopic forks and chromed twin rear shocks easily cope with the extraperformance the engine imparts, as do the powerful twin-piston calipers operating onthe front and rear discs.All of the T100's crisp coach lines are hand-applied and the new two-tone Jet Blackwith Tornado Red infill paint scheme provides a striking counterpoint to the vibrantWhite with Tangerine infill. Finishing the look are a tachometer, rubber knee gripsand chromed engine covers.The Bonneville T100 is the very essence of urban style and underlines the enduring power of individual expression.

Paying employees when they're out sick has been standard practice at many companies for decades, but state legislators are eyeing a bill that would expand the benefit to a wider range of workers.
Following the passage of a municipal paid sick-leave statute in Jersey City, advocates believe that momentum is building for statewide changes. Assembly Speaker-elect Vincent Prieto (D-Bergen and Hudson) mentioned the issue in his first press conference after being chosen to lead the Assembly starting next year, saying that he wants to see the issue addressed.
