text: I have a DSi, and I wanted to get a "Flashcard" if that's what it's called. I'm new to this kind of thing so I don't really know anything about it, everywhere else I've asked, they never responded. I have 1.4 firmware, I don't even know how to update or how it was done, but I read that most of the cards don't work on 1.4. If it is okay to post, I'd like to ask a few questions about the cards: Will it allow me to play games such as Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks, after downloading it from a rom site? All I have to do is buy the card, download the game I want, and play it? (No installing anything, this is what others told me) It won't damage my DSi? Thank you for your help. I apologize if this is in the wrong section, I'm new here.

It's pronounced "pass-tee," almost like "Patsy," as in Kline, if you transposed the tee and the ess sounds. As a word, "pasty" has that awful problem of having a somewhat similar meaning as its similar-sounding cousin "pastry" while still being something completely different.
A pasty is nothing more than pastry with some sort of savory food tucked up inside. It is usually shaped like an empanada or a turnover, though it can also be rectangular or in the shape of a log.
The English will put just about anything inside a hefty butter crust: pork pie, minced pie, bakewell tart, beef Wellington, sausage roll, chicken of tarragon pie, and of course the pasty. You can find pasties with steak and Guinness, steak and kidney beans, beans and vegetables, vegetable and chicken, ham and peas. Just about the only thing I haven't seen available in pasty form are baked beans, which the English prefer to slather on dry toast and eat for breakfast.
I for one am certainly not going to knock the English for their fine appreciation of pie crust at all meals. In the last two weeks, I've ventured to try two pasties, and I'm honestly on point try more; but fitting more pie into my daily routine has proven more difficult than I imagined.
When I do indulge here in London, it's typically in the chocolate category, and something just feels wrong about munching down both a Cadbury bar and a pastry-wrapped hunk of stewed meat in the same day.
On a business trip up to Nottingham not long ago, I found myself in need of sustenance around 11:45 in the morning, a time when calling up a colleague for lunch is completely out of the question. So I popped into a horrid little chain called Greggs (think low-grade Dunkin Donuts, only with savory foods, too) and ordered a Cornish pasty, which they were predictably out of (in England, 99 percent of the time you can absolutely count on the fact that thing will not go according to plan).
I asked instead for a chicken pasty and scurried away with a hot little piece of something exciting warming my hands through a flimsy wax paper packet. I nibbled the first bite cautiously, as you would a hot dumpling from Chinese soup, and found that method to be in good form. Out dribbled some steaming whitish-grayish ooze. Upon further nibbles, I found the gray matter to be like chicken pot pie sauce, or badly made roux. With the hand-held pie cooling, I chomped a bit more and finally found three or four little hunks of chicken.
It was a somewhat underwhelming experience, eating all that shell and gravy to find less chicken then you would expect to find in a can of cat food. Still, it reminded me of the deep south in America, where people slop chicken gravy on their biscuits after church on Sunday.
The other pasty experience begins at this great Jewish bakery I've found up the road from my house in an area called Stamford Hill. The bakery is stellar, with black-and-whites, bagels, challah bread, and miniature doughnuts. Its downfall is that it's closed on Fridays for Shavuot.
One day while walking by, I stuck my head in to see if there would be any enticing snacks for me to eat on the rest of my walk home. I love eating and walking at the same time. There were two pasty-looking things, one with potato and onions and one with Soya. I got the Soya. The pastry was the butteriest and flakiest thing I've ever eaten. It was light as air, but buttery to the touch. The Soya was scant and was all but lost in the elegance of the pastry.
From what I've gathered, Cornwall in particular is known for its pasties. Train travelers in the U.K. might recall having seen signs for a chain shop called West Cornwall Pasty Co., as they have a stall in nearly every major station in Britain. The next time I'm in Cornwall (or Victoria station for that matter) the pasty will be at the top of my list. Some sight-seeing …

BY IAIN COLLIN – @CCP_sport
DUNFERMLINE insist they have not given up hope of hanging on to PJ Crossan, despite confirming they are 'in negotiations' with Celtic over a possible compensation deal for the striker.
The 17-year-old made his first-team debut for the Pars last season, featuring in the wins over Stranraer and Brechin City, and is very highly rated by manager Allan Johnston.
A new deal for the out-of-contract teenager remains on the table, but Celtic have declared an interest in the young marksman, who has also been tracked by Brighton and Nottingham Forest.
However, the Fifers would be due a development fee for the player if he does move on and talks are on-going between the East End Park outfit and Celtic.
Dunfermline chairman Ross McArthur, who admits the club would be keen to avoid an SPFL tribunal, said: "We are currently going back and forward (with Celtic) with regards PJ; we are in the process of negotiations.
"We've put our cards on the table and we'll see if we can reach an agreement.
"He is out of contract, so is free to speak to other clubs, but in his case there's compensation due.
"But we've made him a contract offer, because we would like to see him stay at Dunfermline, and that is still on the table."

Avedon Capital Partners acquires Altendorf Group, a premium brand in the woodworking industry, out of family hands
Minden/Düsseldorf/Amsterdam, October 9th, 2017 – Avedon Capital Partners ('Avedon'), an experienced growth capital investor, passionate about supporting market-leading Mittelstand companies and their outstanding management teams in realising their ambitious growth plans and strategic visions, acquires a majority stake in Wilhelm Altendorf GmbH & Co. KG ('Altendorf Group' or 'Company'), the globally leading manufacturer of saws for craft processing of wood, metal and plastics located in Minden, Germany. The ambition is to extend Altendorf Group's premium position for machines and services in wood, metal and plastics processing with innovative products and technologies to sustainably capture new customer segments and markets through accelerated organic growth and by realizing external growth potential.
In the course of this succession solution with Avedon entering as new majority shareholder, the existing managing directors Jörg F. Mayer (43) and Wolfgang Ruhnau (48), both active in the company for more than 15 years, acquired a minority stake in the company. As shareholders and managing directors they stand strongly for continuity in the management of the company and for embarking on an ambitious future for Altendorf. The Altendorf family, recently active in the third and fourth generation as shareholders and in the management respectively advisory board of Altendorf, appreciates the solid and sustainable setup of the group with its excellent and experienced management team and with Avedon as proven partner for the German Mittelstand, and retires from its corporate engagement. In addition, Dr. Ralf Köster, a well-proven entrepreneur with many years' experience in the industry, will remain on the advisory board and will take over the role as Chairman. The transaction successfully closed on October 6, 2017. The Parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price or any further details to the transaction.
Altendorf Group, headquartered in Minden, looks back at a 110 year history and enjoys global brand awareness. The group's most important product is the sliding table saw, first developed by Wilhelm Altendorf in 1906. The model F45, also called 'The Altendorf' is perceived around the world as synonym for top quality brand and product. The company employs more than 250 people and has sustained continuous growth in the past years. In 2016 Altendorf Group generated revenues of 40m EUR. As driver of innovation, Altendorf Group takes a leading role in the wood-working handicraft sector and has a strong position for further national and international growth. Avedon will support Altendorf Group to further invest in the organisation and in expanding and digitalisation of the product portfolio.
Jörg F. Mayer, Managing Director of Altendorf Group says: "Together with the founder family around Wilfried and Tom Altendorf, we fortified Altendorf Group's positioning as global leader in the development and manufacturing of saws for craft processing of wood, metal and plastics and generated sustainable, profitable growth. From this position of strength we now have the opportunity to build a globally leading company within its sector."

We look forward to continuing together with Avedon on our growth path and sustainably position the company for the future."

Maritime Mayhem
By Tom Neale, 6/23/2011
Tom Neale's logs have a new name and home on BoatUS Magazine. We know Tom has a loyal and devoted readership, so we wanted to share his tips and insights with an even bigger audience! For the latest articles, click here for Onboard With Tom Neale.
BREAKER BREAKER Help, Help, OK--SOMEBODY, I need some help out here. Can anybody hear me?
This is the US Coast Guard. What's your location and the nature of your distress?
I'm right here by this crab pot float.
Do you have a lat long?
No but I've got a pair of pliers and a screw driver.
Accident waiting to happen. Fast boat with dangerous
wake approaching dive boat, with divers down.
I'm not depressed. I'm just sinking.
How much water is there in your boat?
I don't know but my beer cooler is floating.
How fast is the water rising?
It's going out. High tide was about an hour ago.
Can you tell where the water's coming from?
It's coming from the river. Well, one of my buddies just cut loose. Now it's coming from him too. I wish he wouldna done that there.
Do you have a dewatering device aboard?
Yeah, my buddy I was just talking about has a good one.
Is there any beach nearby where you can ground her?
Don't talk about my wife that way.
Can you throw over the anchor?
Yes. (pause and splash) OK I did it.
Is it holding?
I don't know.
Well is the line tight?
I don't know, that was tied to the anchor when I threw it over. I can't see it now.
Do you see any other boats?
Yeah, they're all over the place.
Can you shoot off a flare?
No, they were in the safety bag with the anchor.
Can you signal the other boats?
You mean can I yell at them? I don't have to. One's right here. That's why I'm sinking. "Hey buddy, could you come back when you unstick your front from the side of my boat?"
How many POBs?
There are PWCs all over the place. But I left mine at home.
Sir, I mean how many POBs do you have onboard?
My PWC is too big to put in this boat. But if that guy driving that PWC over there looking behind him keeps coming this way I might have a PWC aboard real soon. But he might just jump on over us he's going so fast. Wish he'd start looking this way.
OK, Sir, how many people do you have on the boat?
Uh, lemmee count here. (yelling) Can somebody help me count? Oh, OK. We have 6 now. Three of my friends just got off onto the boat that's stuck in our side.
Congested area with fast boats zooming in all directions.
I don't wear PFDs. I wear Jockeys.
Can you describe your boat?
Well, it's about 18 feet long.
What's its color and what kind is it.
It's red and blue and green and there's some purple and a little pink with some silver sparkles here and there. And it has a hole in it where that other boat is.
How fast was this person going when he hit you?
He was anchored.
Anchored? Uh, what part of your boat did he hit?
The back part that was slinging around when I was showing my buddies how fast she could turn on a dime.
Do you have any injuries aboard?
Yeah. Ralphie has a hernia. Got it playing football.
Uh, is anyone in need of medical assistance?
Yeah. I could use a shot-----of tequila.
Are you a member of any towing service?
Yeah, roadside towing came with my new car.
I mean towing on the water.
Na, I don't have that kind of car.
Would you like me to call a towing service for you?
Sure, but what I really need is a crowbar to get this other guy out of the side of my boat.
Is the other boat taking on water?
Naa. The big crunched up part on his bow is way above the water. Especially since everybody's moved to the back. They're not being very friendly.
Sir, we request that you remain on scene until one of our units or the Marine Police can reach you.
No problem there, the other guy's already anchored and we're stuck together like a tick on a houn' dog.
Can you give me your boat registration number please?
AWW Gee. Do I hafta?
Sir, you're required to provide that information. You'll find it on your registration card.
I don't have that. That's in my pants that I left back on the beach which is the reason I was turning on a dime.
Then look at the numbers on your bow.
Uh, they kinda got messed up last weekend when I came in to the ramp and power rammed the boat up on the trailer and I got the wrong trailer.
OK, so there's a little bit of poetic license in the above scenario, but it's a collage of things I've heard or almost heard on the VHF over the years. Believe it or not, much of it didn't need much embellishment. What happens on the water these days ranges from ridiculous to stupid, to the deadly and even to the macabre. I'm sure you've got your own stories to tell. I've deliberately omitted names of people and places and skewed the circumstances, but you hear this stuff far more than you want if you're on the water enough. 1. Never assume the other guy sees you…or that he'll remember what he saw if he does see you.
Tom's Tips About Not Getting Creamed On the Water
2. Keep a 360 degree watch.
3. This includes looking behind and around you before you change course or speed.
All of these things and more can make a huge difference and I'm not knocking anything that helps. But unless we lose the attitude that we should keep shoveling hordes onto the water who think that "out on the water" is a place where you don't have to know what you're doing except turn a key and that there are no rules (after all, there are no lines in the middle of the road out here) and where special skills aren't required because, "Hey man, water is soft ya know," it's not going to get any better.

December 12, 1937 - June 22, 2017
"Father Louie" to the early gay community in Halifax. He was one of the brave pioneers in Halifax who were openly gay and proud in the early days.
Father Louie spent his formative years in his home town of Grand-Digue, NB, before moving to Halifax, where he graduated from St. Patrick's High School in 1955, completed undergraduate studies at Saint Mary's University, and theology at Holy Heart Seminary. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1962.
Formally minister at the Victoria General and the New Halifax Infirmary Hospitals as well as a Supervisor in Clinical Pastoral Education there as well as at the AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia during much of the AIDS Crisis of the '80s and '90s, and Director of Pastoral Care (now named, Spiritual Care) at Halifax's Queen Elizabeth II Hospital for 13 years. Informally he was minister and friend to anyone, but particularly in the LGBT community.
He was supportive of the alcoholic and addicted subgroup of our community and arranged for space for the local 12-step LGBT Alcoholics Anonymous group, LiveAndLetLive, to have their annual conference, the CourageRoundup.
A family trait, Louis loved to play cards, and many Haligonians know him as a formidable bridge partner or opponent. At family gatherings, retreats, and vacations, he played Hearts, Crib, 200s and 45s, all with a keen mind and fun sense of competitiveness.
Louis' tastes in food were as eclectic in food as they were in music and people. He loved haute cuisine before the opera in New York, or hot dogs off the BBQ while listening to Acadian jigs -- almost anything in between.
Louis was also a proud Acadian who displayed his Acadian flag at every home he lived in. In 1996 Louis took a personal odyssey to Louisiana to expand his understanding of the impact the expulsion of the Acadians had on that area, and of course took time to enjoy the incredible food.
Ross Haynes, QC, writes: I met Louis in the early 90's in the midst of the AIDS/HIV crisis. I was first Chair of AIDS Nova Scotia, and later with WilsonHodder was co-chair of the AIDS Coalition here in Halifax, where at the time Louis was ministering. Rev Louis was an inspiration to many in the community concerned with HIV/AIDS and he took leadership in understanding and confronting the challenges facing the LGBTQ community and the wider population. Louis was a leader and I was better for having met him. My condolences to Louis' family and friends - we have lost a fine man.

This is a Hawaiian dish which exists in a truly staggering number of variations, however it can be loosely described as a sashimi salad. Staple fish such as Ahi and Mahi-Mahi are common in poki, though pretty much any sashimi quality ingredient can be found in it. In terms of vegtables and seasonings, onion, sesame oil, ginger, seaweed, and shoyu are usually featured, however as with the fish, there are few limits on what any given chef might prefer to add in.

How to Send Funds to ORISE
Initial Funding
After you have received the Department of Energy (DOE)-approved ORISE proposal to sponsor one or more participants in the Research Participation Program, the next step is to submit a funding document (an Interagency Agreement or IAA) to DOE. This indicates your formal acceptance of the proposal. You should allow approximately 4-5 weeks for the entire process to be completed. This time frame allows about 3 weeks for you to complete the internal FDA approval process for the IAA and up to 10 days for DOE to approve the IAA. Send the funding document directly to DOE and a copy to ORISE.
ORISE will notify you when DOE approves the funding, and DOE will send the signed originals back to FDA, following instructions provided by FDA when the IAA was submitted.
After DOE approves the IAA, you may appoint research participants to your program. You must send ORISE a completed Selection Form (PDF). The Selection Form identifies important information related to the appointment (researcher's name, appointment location, brief description of research, starting date, monthly stipend, etc.). Upon receipt of this information, ORISE will send an appointment letter to the applicant.
The Funding Process
Complete IAA
Send IAA to DOE
IAA is approved by ORISE and DOE
DOE returns signed copy to FDA
Funding MUST be approved before participant can begin
On-going Funding
After the initial funding is approved, additional funds may be sent at any time by submitting an IAA to DOE; a new proposal is not necessary.

Dasilva. Freitas. Demello. Tavares. Ferreira. These are the names on the street signs in Portugal. I recognize them all. They are the names of my high school classmates. My small public high school South of Boston in Lakeville, Massachusetts was mostly Portuguese…and as I walked the streets in Portugal I felt strangely at home…it's also the reason why I've always wanted to travel to Portugal. After much research I decided to split our family trip to Portugal between two cities of Lisbon and Porto. I was not disappointed.
- Gorgeous city! Beautiful colors, mosaics and tiles. The city of Lisbon looks very different than any other European city and I loved that. It is distinctly unique because of its colorful buildings, steep meandering hills with breathtaking views of the city and water and beautiful tile work in all of the storefronts. If you are traveling with a family and/or a stroller, I hope you are in pretty good shape because walking up or down the hills for that matter will be no easy feat especially if you are headed up to the eclectic and trendy Alfama neighborhood with the best views of the city. If you really want to get a feel for what Lisbon really looks like head over to travel blog Lisbon me please – with absolutely gorgeous pictures of this one of a kind city.
- Incredible food. Known for their fresh seafood, sardines, octopus and clams, the food in Lisbon is delicious and is really reasonably priced depending on what restaurant you choose. Because most people eat dinner at 8 or 9, we opted for long late lunches and then just had a snack before bed. Hey…we were traveling with a nine month old! Not only did this save us money, we found the Portuguese "tapas" style of eating great for kids. It allowed everyone to try everything (hello Sardines) and then order more if you really loved it (No one ordered seconds on the sardines).
- Cost. Compared to the rest of Europe, Portugal is pretty reasonably priced and often very cheap especially when it comes to hotels, cabs, and food which is usually the bulk of your cost for any trip anyway. You can easily book a hotel room for 100 dollars a night or less. We stayed at the Lisbon Short Stay Apartments and loved the hippie hostel vibe and great service. After flying overnight from Chicago through Madrid, we were exhausted. Our room was not ready when we arrived but after explaining our plight and holding a crying baby, a room suddenly was ready! Praise God…and crying babies are magic 🙂
- Family-Friendly. You have to really love travel to pack up two little ones and head to Europe. Having said that, there are definitely some cities that are better options than others for many reasons. Lisbon is a great choice even though the prettiest part of the city is up a massive hill there are so many other things to do with kids including going to the Oceanarium….the largest aquarium in Europe. There are more museums in Lisbon than in any other European city. (They even have a sardine museum.) We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with a kitchen and that made a huge difference in our experience. We were able to cook breakfast and keep snacks in the refrigerator and also have a resting place at night after a full day of travel.
- Relaxed vibe. The pace of Lisbon is relaxed and easy. The population is only half a million people and because of that you never feel rushed or crowded. There is so much to do and see and eat and you'll never see it all but you feel like you can definitely hit the highlights and get a sense of the beautiful energy and scenery in one week. I also LOVED Porto (our next stop) but I'll save those details for my next post! Have you been to Lisbon? Love to hear what your favorite part was and what YOU would recommend for the first time traveler. xo Kate

Specifications? LOD BIM? They're all faking it!
I'm a bit puzzled about the art of architecture. We have this whole thing about BIM, the modeling, clash detection, coordination and LOD/Level of Detail/Level of Development.
What I'm confused about is the thousands of pages of specifications attached to every project. It's just about impossible to meander through a spec book and make sure that everyone sees all of the information and acts on it accordingly.
I think every architecture firm who says they do BIM should be required to use e-Specs and at a minimum, link all of their specs to all of the objects in their models and have that data useable in Navisworks for the contractors. Otherwise, they're being hypocritical about their standard of care on their projects. Don't talk about all of the modeling, LOD 400 and how their are no clashes on your models.
Why? Because of two words in your specifications. They are "or equal". After all, the word "specifications" comes from the word "specific" Specific means "free from ambiguity" and "accurate". So, when you specify something, using an out of date spec from a manufacturer who no longer makes that product, and then list 12 pages of specific information, materials, installation, application and everything else under the sun about that item, and then put the words "or equal", you've just made something specific into something ambiguous and created conflicts and clashes between the owner, contractor, subcontractors, architects and engineers.
I don't know anymore which is more important, the Building, the Information or the Modeling, but all of your specs should be linked into your model and extra parameters added to all of your families showing that information. Of course, some fields will be left blank until the job gets built, but then, isn't that the whole point of COBie?
Do you give the owner the spec book as a turnover document and do they upload that into their CMMS system? Unless you fix this archaic system of paper that's not a part of the model, you're full of BS, BIM shift (Shifting more work onto others).

text: MPs slam NHS re-organisation 07 November 2013 North London Labour MPs David Lammy and Jeremy Corbyn and former Islington council leader Catherine West joined more than a dozen campaigners and patients highlighting attacks on the NHS at a public meeting in Archway on 1 November. They were speaking at the third session of the People's Inquiry for London's NHS which is backed by Unite. An independent panel made of experienced healthworkers, public administrators and journalist Polly Toynbee are examining the impact of the Health and Social Care Act and NHS budget cuts on our health services. Contributors continually expressed concerns over the future of local hospitals including the Whittington, St Anne's Community Hospital and Chase Farm, where maternity and inpatient paediatric services are due to close on 20 November. The proposed closure of Chase Farm A&E in December is the subject of a judicial review. "I don't know where to go to challenge decisions that are now being made," said Tottenham MP David Lammy. "The landscape of health organisation is very confusing. It's difficult for me as an MP. God knows what it is like for constituents." He registered particular concerns over the closure of mental health crisis centres in Enfield and Haringey. "It is unacceptable that people suffering acute mental disorder and psychotic episodes should have to present themselves in A&E. I can tell you now there will be a terrible tragedy. "What's really going on is responsibilities for health being shunted from acute treatment centres to local authorities. The idea of a community based mental health service is a deceit," said David Lammy. Islington North MP, Jeremy Corbyn, said, "I am fearful for the future of the NHS. GPs are under enormous pressure and patients are reporting growing difficulties getting appointments and access to healthcare. Instead of sensibly planning how to meet health needs, we have duplication of resources and competition among hospitals," said Jeremy Corbyn. Islington councillor, Catherine West, the Labour candidate for the local Hornsey and Wood Green parliamentary seat, concluded, "The only solution is to repeal the Health and Social Care Act. If we don't, we will see the private sector taking public providers to court on the basis that they are not competitive."

Heather O'Rourke (December 27, 1975 – February 1, 1988)[3] was an American child actress. She was discovered by director Steven Spielberg when she was visiting MGM's studios.[4] Spielberg cast her as Carol Anne Freeling in the horror film Poltergeist (1982), where she is known for saying "They're here!" She reprised the role in the second and third installments.
O'Rourke also had a recurring role on Happy Days in 1982 and 1983, and she made several television guest appearances. In February 1988 she died at the age of 12 of cardiac arrest and septic shock caused by a misdiagnosed intestinal stenosis.
Early life[edit]
Heather O'Rourke was born on December 27, 1975, in San Diego, California, to Kathleen and Michael O'Rourke. Her mother worked as a seamstress and her father was a carpenter. She had an older sister, Tammy O'Rourke, also an actress. Her parents divorced in 1981, and O'Rourke's mother married part-truck driver Jim Peele in 1984, while they were living in a trailer park in Anaheim, California.[5][6]
Her success later allowed the family to purchase a home in Big Bear Lake, California.[6] Between acting jobs, O'Rourke attended Big Bear Elementary School where she was president of her 5th grade class.[7] At the time of her death, the family was living in Lakeside, California, a suburb of San Diego.[8]
In a contemporary interview with American Premiere magazine, producer Steven Spielberg explained that he was looking for a "beatific four-year-old child...every mother's dream" for the lead in his horror film Poltergeist (1982).[9] While eating in the MGM commissary,[4] Spielberg saw five-year-old Heather O'Rourke having lunch with her mother[9] while older sister Tammy was shooting Pennies from Heaven.[6][10] After his lunch, Spielberg approached the family and offered O'Rourke the Poltergeist role; she was signed the next day, beating Drew Barrymore, who was also up for the role.[9][11]
In the Poltergeist trilogy, O'Rourke played Carol Anne Freeling, a young suburban girl who becomes the conduit and target for supernatural entities. The New York Times noted that she had played the key role in the films and commented, "With her wide eyes, long blonde hair and soft voice, she was so striking that the sequel played off her presence."[4] During the production of the original Poltergeist, Spielberg twice accommodated the child actress when frightened. When scared by performing a particular stunt, Spielberg replaced O'Rourke with a stunt double wearing a blonde wig; and when disturbed by the portrayal of child abuse, Spielberg did not require her to perform the take again.[12] For her work in Poltergeist, O'Rourke earned between $35,000 and $100,000.[13] O'Rourke played the role in all three films.
O'Rourke's performance of her famous line from Poltergeist
Problems playing this file? See media help.
O'Rourke's delivery of the lines "They're here!" in the first film, and "They're baa-aack!" in the second (that film's tagline), placed her in the collective pop culture consciousness of the United States.[14] "They're here!" is #69 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Movie Quotes.
After her work in Poltergeist (1982), O'Rourke secured several television and TV movie roles. In April 1983, she starred as herself alongside Morey Amsterdam and well-known Walt Disney animated characters in the hour-long television special, Believe You Can...and You Can![15][16] She also appeared in CHiPs, Webster, The New Leave It to Beaver, Our House, and had a recurring role on Happy Days as Heather Pfister.[4] She also appeared in the television movies Massarati and the Brain and Surviving: A Family in Crisis.[17]
Illness and death[edit]
O'Rourke became ill with giardiasis in early 1987 and was later diagnosed as having Crohn's disease. She was prescribed a steroid to treat the disease during the time she was filming Poltergeist III.[18] On January 31, 1988, O'Rourke suddenly became ill again, vomiting and unable to keep anything in her stomach. The next morning, she collapsed while preparing to leave for the hospital and her stepfather called paramedics. O'Rourke suffered cardiac arrest en route to the hospital, and after resuscitation, she was airlifted by helicopter to Rady Children's Hospital (formerly Children's Hospital and Health Center) in San Diego,[10] where she died later that day.
Speaking to reporters, O'Rourke's manager David Wardlow initially announced that it was believed she died of influenza.[19][20] However, hospital spokesman Vincent Bond announced that O'Rourke died during surgery to repair an acute bowel obstruction (caused by congenital stenosis of the intestine)[21] complicated by septic shock;[4][22] this report was corroborated by the San Diego County coroner's office on February 3, two days after her death.[23] Later her official death certificate report stated that her cause of death was due to a cardiac arrest caused by a septic shock brought on by the intestinal stenosis and that an autopsy was not performed.[1]
O'Rourke was entombed at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery on February 5, 1988.[1]
On May 25, 1988, Sanford M. Gage, the O'Rourke family attorney, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Kaiser Foundation Hospital in San Diego. O'Rourke had been seen by doctors at Kaiser since birth, and the suit claimed that they failed to properly diagnose her true condition; a narrowed small intestine, which was a congenital birth defect, and had they not simply treated her for Crohn's disease with prescription drugs, she could have had a period of remission by means of a major bowel surgery;[24][25] and this misdiagnosis caused O'Rourke's death.[26] Kaiser Permanente spokeswoman Janice Seib responded: "We have reviewed the case extensively, and we believe that the diagnosis and the course of action taken by our physicians was entirely appropriate. It's a very complex case, complicated by a number of factors, and not given to any simple answers."[10] The case went to arbitration and was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.[27]
O'Rourke's death complicated Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's marketing for her last work, Poltergeist III, out of fear of appearing to be exploiting her death.[28] Tom Skerritt and Nancy Allen, O'Rourke's co-stars, were discouraged from giving interviews about the film to avoid questions about her death.[29] O'Rourke died four months before the theatrical release of Poltergeist III, which was dedicated to her memory.[30]
On September 26, 2008, DirecTV began airing a national TV advertisement developed by Deutsch Inc.; directed by Erich Joiner and cinematographed by Daniel Mindel,[31] the advert features O'Rourke's famous "They're here!" scene from Poltergeist blended with contemporary footage of her co-star, Craig T. Nelson, intended to mimic the film. After the advertisement drew criticism from bloggers and columnists for exploiting O'Rourke,[32] DirecTV responded in a Q&A session with readers of The New York Times. Jon Gieselman, DirecTV's senior vice president for advertising and public relations, explained that O'Rourke's family "was involved in the spot from start to finish [and that] Heather's mother not only approved, [...] she also commented that Heather's inclusion was a wonderful tribute to her daughter."[33]

New Port Richey, FL (PRWEB) August 09, 2014
Primary care walk in Clinic had been performing DOT Physicals for a long time. Gunwant S Dhaliwal, MD, Board Certified Internist, in practice for over 20 years, is one of the few that got certified by FMCSA to perform DOT physicals. Any and all CDL Driver Medical Certificates issued by physicians that are not FMCSA certified medical examiners and do not bear Registration number, are not valid after May 21st, 2014. Such drivers need to have their DOT Physical done again.
More information available on website http://www.dotflorida.biz that has the form to fill out at doctor's office. It educates about the conditions that can limit the medical certification of CDL drivers.
The DOT medical certificate is valid for 2 years if there are no medical conditions. Otherwise it is for one year if there are medical problems such as controlled hypertension with medicine or diabetic on oral medications. In case of mild to moderate uncontrolled blood pressure, a temporary medical certificate for 3 months may be given. When blood pressure is controlled with medicine, one year certificate may be issued. Same is for being diabetic though there are different rules for drivers that take Insulin.
The $100 fee for DOT physical is charged upfront and that includes in-office urine test for pH, protein, sugar and blood. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to perform the exam. Medical certificate could be denied due to any conditions that are also listed on the website.
The medical certificates are printed from FMCSA site and driver's information is entered in to the DOT database. The certificate bears the Certified Medical Examiner's registration number.
The business owners such as trucking companies can arrange to have their drivers medically certified by sending their drivers to one of the offices of Primary Care Walk In Clinic or conveniently at their place of business (located in Tampa Bay area) by paying $3750 per day in advance for up to 25 drivers.
Primary Care Walk In Clinic otherwise treat patients for all diseases and accept Most insurance including Medicare Assignment, Worker's Comp and Auto Insurance. More information at http://www.walkinclinics.com.

Credit Cards Investigation: How is interest really calculated? (Day 3 of 4)
Lesson 11 of 14
Objective: SWBAT derive the compound interest formula and apply it to solve real world problems.
Big Idea: My balance is what?!? Students develop the compound interest formula completely on their own before applying it to real world problems.
Warm-up: Homework Discussion
Have students take a moment to reflect on their homework from last night. Each student in every team should think of one thing they learned in the NPR podcast and then share it with their team. Each team should pick the best fact and write it up on the board. Then as a whole class we can review some of the most interesting aspects of the conversation.
How is interest really calculated?
In this part of the credit card investigation students explore how interest is really calculated. Using a table students will be asked to write a general equation to calculate compound interest. I assume this section will be difficult for students. As students are working, I plan to monitor their progress by checking their answers in the column 'expression for balance after x years.' It is important that students have the correct expressions in Questions 3 and 4 if they are going to obtain the interest formula. I may also give students the hint that they can break down the middle column of the table like so: Credit Card Investigation, Scaffold for question 4.
Apply your knowledge
In this section, students will be answering some very straightforward questions about interest calculations. I will encourage my students to self-assess as they work, focusing particular attention on the reasonableness of their answers.
This section offers a great opportunity for students to practice MP1: Making sense of problems and persevere in solving them. As they evaluate the reasonableness of their solutions to these interest problems.
I will also give students some parts to these answers at some point in the lesson to help with their self-checks. Maybe I will give them the whole dollar amount and have students find the change part of the answer.
Something like this:
- $274.__ __
- $1353. __ __
- $4791.__ __
- $6918. __ __
I want students to know right away if they have made a mistake, without providing them with the exact answers so they can check their work.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
If you are interested in shopping for or discussing foundations for the very pale, please refer to the article on that topic!
Shopping for foundation for the first time is often a hair-rippingly frustrating experience that becomes even moreso if you're not some shade of pale to medium beige. For the scores and scores of various shades of beige, most makeup brands seem to phone it in with one honey-brown shade, if that, as though this barest minimum will placate all of us with darker skin.
Many of us decide not to wear makeup at all, because there's no point in spending money on a company that begrudgingly accommodates us only to look ghastly as a result. Times will arise, however, when foundation makeup is a necessity. How do you even begin looking?
Having semi-recently been in this exact same situation, I have a few tips to help ease the quest of finding the perfect brown for your skin.
Get thine deep brown ass out of the damn drug store.
It's common knowledge that the average drug stores rarely have anything in stock that's darker than John Bohener's spray tan, and I'll tell you why: drug store franchise owners (and a few companies, as well,) are actually deathly allergic to black buying dollars. It's such a serious allergy that even the sight of a deep-brown woman advancing toward them with money in her outstretched hands sends them into anaphylactic convulsions.
When staring at the makeup in the cosmetics aisle at your local drug store, think of the children you'll orphan and the spouses you'll widow. Keep your deadly, deadly brown lady dollars to yourself, and go elsewhere.
Like Sephora!
Sephora is an amazing resource both for seasoned makeup professionals and those interested in trying out makeup for the first time in a low-stress environment that's not driven by brand loyalty or commissions. I'm looking at you, average department store cosmetics department.
The staff at Sephora are extremely knowledgeable and helpful both to people who know exactly what they're looking for and the lost souls just recently forbidden from purchasing anything from the drug store, so flag someone down if you need assistance.
More than anything, though, Sephora is a wonderland of brown makeup for brown ladies. Every brand that I perused had browns in a diverse range of depths and temperatures, and all the brands there are of excellent quality. As per suggested in another brown lady product recommendation post, I tried Bobbi Brown's foundation sticks ($42) and never, ever looked back.
Were I not so irrevocably beholden to the perfection that is Bobbi Brown, however, I would also be tempted to give Clinique a try as well. Their foundations run in a diverse range of medium to deep browns, all with varying temperatures for different undertones, as both liquid and pressed powder foundations.
That's nice and everything, but I'm broke as a joke.
Don't fret! There are still options, even for those of us with the emptiest of wallets.
The best thing to do when on a tight budget is to look for kits. Sephora has a number high-quality kits that dip into the deep browns of our complexions, and some come with brushes, primer, and even carrying cases. Sephora also has testers available to try out the foundations before purchasing, which is always an added bonus. Trying on different brands will be incredibly useful in finding out if you have copper, olive or blue undertones, which helps narrow down which brands will work best for you.
The Bare Minerals Get Started Kit in Golden Deep ($68) is a good place to start for deep skinned ladies. Their deepest shades (obviously) run golden, which is perfect for those of us with olive undertones. In addition to its two foundations, concealer, and tinted moisturizer, it also comes with three application brushes, primer, and a travel bag. Everything you need to get started is perfectly bundled and ready to go!
The Makeup For Ever HD Complexion Starter Kit ($79) is another great kit for the budget first-time makeup shopper. In this kit is their HD microfinish Powder, a kabiki brush, HD Microperfecting Primer, and HD Invisible Cover Foundation. One of the great things about this kit is that there's a lot more diversity of undertones for the foundations than with Bare Minerals, which makes getting a perfect match much easier. The products are also of a luxuriant quality that looks seamless when sealed with powder.
…$79? You have a really weird definition of "emptiest of wallets".
Ok, fair.
Where do you start if you're BROKE broke, then? Keep avoiding the drug store and hit up Target, if you have one in your city, and especially if said Target is in a swarthier neighborhood. Many of the same brands that offered nothing but a sea of beige in the drug stores will suddenly, magically, have deep brown options as well.
Iman Cosmetics were founded by the supermodel Iman in 1994. Sick of every brand being so deathly allergic to her money, Iman used her influence in the fashion industry to create her own line of makeup, solely for women of medium to dark hues. Each shade has multiple formulations for different undertones. Her line can be found at Target and is of wonderful quality, and it's a must for every deep brown lady to try.
I'm partial to foundation sticks over other forms of foundation due to their ease of use, and Iman has a collection of them in all our beautiful hues.
After glaring at the Covergirl section at the local drug store, I was blown away by the breadth of browns to be found in their Queen collection. They offer foundation in both liquid and pressed powder, at a price point that even the strongest wallet-vacuum can't scoff at.
There are a couple of other brands that have one or two brown shades that I'm choosing not to name, because brown ladies like ourselves come in far more than one or two shades. While it can be a nice start, it's still not nearly enough to congratulate with monetary support.
What are your favorite brands for brown foundation?

|(Courtesy of Daniel Library, The Citadel)
Charles Courtenay Tew wielded the sword metaphor several times during his address to fellow Citadel graduates in 1846. Only 18 years old, Tew spoke eloquently of the glory and horror of war, saying the sword could be "dazzling" in its influence and the patriot soldier should use it only for "God and country."
"There are no aspirations to imminence over the slaughtered bodies of his fellow men," he told two dozen peers at the military academy in Charleston, S.C.
The school's first honor graduate concluded his remarks with encouragement to fulfill one's responsibility: "The same principle which impelled him to arms, sustains him in their unsanguined use. Strongly attached to life, he is yet willing, ready, eager to lay it down for the public."
Sixteen years later, Tew, 34, would lay down his life for the Confederacy. He died amid the carnage on the Sunken Road, or Bloody Lane, at the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) in western Maryland.
The colonel's sword was taken by a Federal soldier, as were other items as trophies of war. Now, 153 years later, the sword is being given by a Canadian military regiment and foundation to The Citadel in ceremonies next week. Descendants had long looked for the sword, which ended up in Ottawa.
The loss of Tew, who led the 2nd North Carolina State Troops, was felt keenly by loved ones and his home state. Before the war, he was known as an erudite academic who instilled discipline and duty in cadets on three campuses in the Carolinas. Students were grateful for his dedication, and in 1858 they presented him the sword at the Arsenal Academy in Columbia, S.C.
Great-great-granddaughter Caroline Sloan of Portland, Ore., says the graduation speech shows Tew was a "product of his time." A soldier was trained to take up arms, when necessary.
In his 1893 "History of the South Carolina Military Academy," John Peyre Thomas wrote:
|Tew's sword will be displayed at The Citadel library
"Col. Tew was no ordinary man. In temper he was cool and equable. His tastes were literary and yet practical. His intellect was trained and disciplined for almost any work. With mathematical and scientific attainments, he was also conversant with the dead languages; had acquired several of the Continental Languages, as to French, he was an accomplished scholar of that tongue. The power of mental concentration he possessed in large degree and what he attempted he mastered thoroughly. As a friend he was steady and loyal; as a man direct and upright; as a husband and father, tender and devoted. Among The Citadel dead, no other graduate has done more honor to the Academy then Charles Courtenay Tew."
Tew's father was from a French Huguenot family and his mother had Irish ancestry.
While not all that prominent or wealthy, the Tews ensured Courtenay (pronounced Courtney), as he was known, would get what they considered an ideal education for a South Carolina lad.
"He wanted to be an educator," Sloan said.
After graduation, the professor taught and led students at the Arsenal Academy for five years, spent a year in Europe and returned to The Citadel as second officer in rank. He enlarged and expanded his department before returning to Columbia in 1857.
He then followed his own dream, moving to North Carolina with his wife, Elizabeth, and children to start a new school: The Hillsborough Military Academy.
|!937 view of Hillsborough barracks, now gone (Library of Congress)
"It was modeled on The Citadel," said Richard Barnes of Raleigh, N.C., who has researched the 2nd North Carolina State Troops, the unit Tew led during the Civil War. "He was a good tactician. He was an academic man. He loved to instruct young men."
Tew didn't get to lead the North Carolina academy for long. While apparently not a slave owner, Tew sided with the Confederacy and led troops during a number of Virginia and Maryland campaigns, ending at Antietam.
The officer won admiration for tactics from his peers, including Maj. Gen. Joseph B. Kershaw and Lt. Gen. D.H. Hill, who described Tew as having "no superior as a soldier in the field."
But Tew felt he could help the cause most by returning to North Carolina to turn young students into prospective soldiers. His resignation was forwarded to the government in Richmond, but it had not been acted upon when the battle at Sharpsburg was fought.
The academy in Hillsborough did not last long after the war's end and Tew's widow died in 1870, leaving the care of their three surviving children to her father-in-law.
Sloan, who will speak about Tew and the sword during a Sept. 17 event on The Citadel campus, has taught her 7-year-old son that it is best that the South did not prevail.
Still, she said, "I am proud of (Tew). The Civil War was a terrible, terrible thing. The family loved him and never got over his death."

Two days ago, the third annual Beltway Classic looked to be as wide open as its predecessors, but Mount St. Mary's chances took a tumble when backcourt standout Kevin Booth suffered a serious knee injury in a 116-98 loss at Navy Monday.
Seven minutes into the game, Booth hurt himself breaking free for an inbounds pass. It was originally feared that he had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left leg, but an examination near his West Chester, Pa., home yesterday found that was not the case. Booth was to undergo further tests today, but he will return no earlier than January, and could miss the entire season.
"We'll miss him," Mount St. Mary's coach Jim Phelan said. "He's really a top-notch guard. We'll downplay his absence as best we can, and try to go on."

Charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident?
Perhaps you were scared or couldn"t find a safe place to stop your car after your accident, so you kept driving. But now you"ve been arrested for hit and run and you don't know what to do.
State law requires drivers to stop after an accident, even if no one has been injured. Failure to do so can result in charges for failure to stop and render aid for accidents with injuries or failure to stop and give information for accidents that do not result in injuries.
Things drivers must do after an accident:
- Share name and address
- Give insurance information
- Provide registration number of car involved
- Show proof of driver's license
- Provide assistance to anyone injured in the accident, usually by calling an emergency medical provider
Leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injury can result in third-degree felony charges, which carry a punishment of two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Accidents involving property damage and no injuries or death can result in a Class B misdemeanor charge, punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Daft Punk? Who needs 'em?
Not Stephen Colbert.
The Comedy Central host, spurned by the band for his "StePhest Colbchella" show, made due without them. And his makeshift performance of "Get Lucky" on "The Colbert Report" was probably better anything Daft Punk could have pulled off.
Colbert's dance number included cameos from Matt Damon, Jimmy Fallon, Jeff Bridges, Hugh Laurie, Nick Cannon, Bryan Cranston – and even Henry Kissinger.

Daft Punk cancelled the gig, because it would void its contract with MTV for a "surprise" performance at the VMAs. MTV and Comedy Central are both owned by Viacom.
"I don't care what MTV allows," Colbert said. "My audience gets the song of the summer if they want it."
Cranston's roller disco performance and The Matt Damon Booth were particular highlights. And, of course, Colbert pulls it all together with his faux serious dancing.
You could tell the host was a little upset by the blow off, though. He called Daft Punk reneging "a real kick in my balls … brought to you by Hyundai."

Start-Up sk© Security SAVER SALE Guard Company guardNOW Has Improved sk© Security SAVER SALE Services …
Los Angeles, CA — (ReleaseWire) — 03/24/2015 — Los Angeles based security start-up guardNOW is working to improve the way security services are delivered across the nation. With the use of its online web app technology, its identification scanning technology, mass mobile communications and an indoor positioning system for large commercial buildings-guardNOW believes that it is positioning itself as one of the nation's most innovative and fastest growing security guard service companies in the nation. Mike Kator, the company's senior executive and Chief Operations Officer, brought over twenty-five years of security management to the company when he joined in 2011. "What attracted me to the company was their strategic objectives on how they were using technology to do things differently, the improvements were better than any other security services company that I had seen."
According to the company's website http://www.guardnow.com1, improvements have been made from the booking process to the service delivery of its guards. Guards who, according to its website consists of licensed and insured former members of the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies.
guardNOW is also an employer partner of the Hire Our Heroes program2 committing to employ former members of the U.S. military and armed guard services. "Our first goal was to streamline the buying and booking process while making it transparent just as you would purchase an item from Amazon, so we developed the online web app.
Second, we looked for existing technology that could improve client/guard communications and event attendee safety." Los Angeles resident and hip-hop recording artist J.Marquis3 uses the guardNOW security service to guard his Beverly Hills home while he away on tour and during company produced concerts. "I've always found it to be easy to use, they have made booking my venue security as simple as buying a pair of shoes online." guardNOW has a client list that has serviced several celebrities, high-profile corporate executives and attorneys as personal bodyguards and residential guards for homes, private events and estates; including socialite Kim Kardashian and pop-singer Mel B.45
guardNOW began in 2010 as the nation's first security guard company that allowed consumers and businesses to book and order security guards online through the website. Developer, Rudy Ney stated, "We decided to go with a web app, as opposed to a mobile app, this way our clients would not have to worry about downloading an app onto the phone. To offer greater convenience we figured the web app would be easier to access.
Competitors such as Y-Combinator6 graduate Bannerman have also recently introduced themselves to the market. One difference is Bannerman's crowdsourced sharing economy of its security service, as according to their terms of service-guards are not trained employees-but independent contractors. Which have made quite a few businesses wary of hiring the Bannerman service.
In a statement regarding Bannerman, Kator said, "It is important that guards receive ongoing training, as situations change, social conditions change and technology changes, having your security team as employed staff allows you to require them to improve themselves, thereby improving the quality of service they can deliver on an ongoing basis." About guardNOW
guardNOW is a full service security guard company headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. Guard NOW provides individuals and businesses throughout the nation with short term and long term security guard services.

Time for another round of What I Ate Wednesday! Feels great to be back on track with food and eating all my go-to's again, although I do miss the croissants.
As far as my macros go, I'm going to start slowly increasing them as of this week mostly because I don't want my body to adapt to the macros that I've been using for the past 6 weeks or so. They are on the lower side for me, and while I feel totally fine as far as quantity goes, I do feel like I'm almost too stringy looking and don't have the fuller look especially in my arms that I like to have. It's always so hard to find the balance between staying summer lean and keeping the fullness I like to have and is something that I am always on the fence about. So, the goal is to start slowly increasing my calories week by week while still staying lean-- basically if I start to notice any big movement on the scale or my clothes start fitting differently, I'll scale back but otherwise I'd like to bump up my calories an additional 150-200 over the next couple months. I'll keep you updated on how it goes!
Meal 1- Hash browns, egg whites, turkey bacon, and turkey sausage.
Meal 2- PWO- mini wheats with almond milk and MRM whey protein.
Meal 3- Leftovers from last nights dinner which was just chicken, roasted potatoes and a green salad.
Meal 4- Yogurt with 2 pumpkin muffins.
Dinner- Teriyaki meatballs with basmati rice and steamed snow peas.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Statewide post for Marcason:
Fourth District City Council member Jan Marcason was elected president of the Missouri Municipal League at the organization's annual conference in Branson earlier this month. The league was organized in 1934 as an agency for the cooperation of Missouri cities, towns and villages, the city said.
Fall leaf and brush collection:
Two curbside leaf and brush collections will take place this fall, courtesy of the city.
• South zone (South of 63rd Street and east of Blue Ridge Cutoff): Weeks of Oct. 21 and Nov. 18.
• Central zone (Missouri River to 63rd and west of Blue Ridge Cutoff): Weeks of Oct. 28 and Dec. 9.
• North zone (north of the Missouri River): Weeks of Nov. 4 and Dec. 2.
On their regular trash day, residents can place up to 20 bags or bundles of leaf and brush at the curb by 7 a.m. Some rules:
• Use paper sacks only.
• Sacks and bundles should not weigh more than 40 pounds each.
• No grass clippings or trash.
• Branches must be bundled and be no more than 4 feet long and 2 feet in diameter. Branches cannot be more than 3 inches in diameter.
• Tie bundles with twine or jute rope, not wire or plastic tape.
• If you seal sacks, use masking tape only, not plastic or duct tape.
• If wet weather is forecast, cover sacks and bundles with clear plastic.Lee's Summit
A recent design meeting for Lee's Summit's new downtown festival plaza turned to speculating on what the community should do if the city is unable to buy the chosen site.
Deputy City Manager Brian Scott told the group last week that the city was still negotiating with owner Dusty Dahmer.
"We have our number, they have their number, and we're starting to get creative on how we can bring that together," Scott said.
The city has offered to buy two lots belonging to Dahmer's company, Tustin LLC.
Prior to a successful bond election in April, the Cultural Arts Facility Task force said Dahmer had expressed willingness to sell and perhaps to do a joint project, with him building on part of the site. As the project proceeded, the city began negotiating for both lots.
In the bond issue the city figured on $250,000 to buy land and have $350,000 for construction of the performance space.
City Manager Steve Arbo said the city has a window of about two months to stay on the architect's timeline for getting construction bids early next year. Arbo said it is too early to abandon the site because the city has hopes of reaching an agreement.
Arbo said the $600,000 cost estimate was based on including Dahmer as a partner. When planning shifted to buying the entire site, he said, Dahmer wanted more money because the city wanted land and Dahmer is losing a business opportunity.
Brad Cox, who co-chaired the bond campaign committee, said the city should stay with the Dahmer site to maintain credibility with voters.
"I put a lot of capital on the line, and I don't mean money," Cox said, implying the reputations of community leaders are at stake.
