Women's 10 1/2 - 10 inches long - 9 inches around
3. List your three favorite sock yarns.
Fleece Artist, Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport, Knit Picks Bare Superwash Fingering
4. Would you like to try a new brand of sock yarn? If so, which brand?
I haven't tried any Regia yet, but the silk and bamboo both look really fun. And I want to try Koigu someday. I'm still new at this, so there are lots of yarns I haven't "tasted" yet.
5. Do you prefer variegated or solid sock yarn?
I like variegated for simple patterns and solid (or heathered, yummy!) for lacy or cabled patterns.

Oh . . . I dunno . . . blue, gray, green, purple . . . cool colors
7. What kind of sock patterns do you gravitate toward? Lace? Ribbed? Fair Isle?
My fair isle skills are not up to snuff - I knit too tight and things pucker, so I'm not up for fair isle socks yet . . . but I'm game for anything else.
8. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, animals, etc.)
Nope . . . bring it on!
9. Will your socks be exposed to cigarette smoke or animals as you knit them?
No cigarette smoke, and while we don't have any pets, my mom has two cats and we do visit her house fairly often, but I can promise to never take these socks over there if I need to.

Websites across the Internet are abuzz as they try to unlock a secret message that may be hidden within the circles, though whether or not one exists is open to debate. When asked if there was such a message, Google remained tight-lipped, saying only that the picture represented what search should be: "fast, fun, and interactive."
One popular theory is that the balls represent the new version of CSS – CSS3. Another states that it points to the Flash competitor, HTML5.

- Food and Drink
- Ambiance / Location

HoQ is a sustainable farm-to-table restaurant located in Des Moines's East Village. 90 percent of HoQ's ingredients come from local farms and the menu changes frequently to showcase fresh Iowa ingredients. Most of the dishes are gluten-free, and you frequently see the words organic, grass-fed, and local on the menu. One can assume that this place is a bit different than most restaurants, and different in this case, is a very good thing.
I gave HoQ (pronounced like hock) a try for the first time during Des Moines Restaurant Week. I was blown away by their ability to support local farmers and vendors, while creating fresh and delicious dishes.
The atmosphere is clean and modern with a bit of vintage flare – like the bright yellow sunflower in a Ball jar on our table. Our waitress knew how to present a bottle of wine (we selected Rattlesnake Red, an Iowa wine from Covered Bridges Winery) and she was able to answer my questions. Now…to the fun part…the food!
Before our meal, our waitress brought out a complimentary sampler platter of sorts, which included bread, "veggie taco salad" spoons, and pickled vegetables. This was unexpected, light and a great way to kick off our first meal at HoQ.
HE ATE: Soup Duo – Cream of broccoli and tomato bisque. I loved this summer "soup duo" concept. One scoop of broccoli soup and one scoop of tomato soup…in one bowl! Not only did the soup look beautiful, but it was rich and delicious.
SHE ATE: Summer Salad – Organic local snap peas, grilled squash, pickled berries, Jack's cherries, Maytag bleu cheese and black raspberry vinaigrette. This salad was light, tart and well-dressed. I enjoyed picking out the berries and eating them first. While it was a nice salad, I didn't care much for the raspberry seeds that were found throughout the vinaigrette.
2nd Course
HE ATE: Grass-fed Steak – Hickory Hills Farm organic beef, organic new potatoes, stir-fried organic vegetables and demi-glace. Levi's steak was cooked perfectly and came out pre-sliced. The demi-glace added a nice bit of moisture to the dish and the potatoes and veggies made the meal hearty. (Secretly, I was hoping that Levi would be too full for dessert…because our dessert was that good.)
SHE ATE: Vegetarian – Organic vegetable tempura, Beluga lentil, tofu, and Basmati rice pilaf, local tomato sauce (all vegan and gluten-free). This is the first all veggie, vegan AND gluten-free meal I've tried and…it was surprisingly good! The favors weren't overbearing and I enjoyed the tempura fried veggies. Since the lentils, tofu and rice are soft foods, the tempura fried veggies really added a bit of needed crunch to the dish.
3rd Course
WE ATE: Local Black Raspberry Crisp – Singing Dog vanilla ice cream with raspberries. Levi and I shared this dish…and I had to stop myself from licking the bowl. The ice cream melted a top the sweet, warm and tart crisp. I could have easily eaten the entire dessert myself (twice, even).
Overall, we had a great experience at HoQ. The professional service, the mouth-watering food, and the local focus makes HoQ a restaurant I would go back to again and again!
Location: 303 E. 5th Street – Des Moines, IA 50309

Olmsted was a pretty decent Joe, reading his biography. He believed in the egalitarian ideals of America, and also appreciated the lugubrious benefits of green space. In fact, he was an early proponent of having green spaces within urban areas:
The design of Central Park embodies Olmsted's social consciousness and commitment to egalitarian ideals. Influenced by Downing and his own observations regarding social class in England, China, and the American South, Olmsted believed that the common green space must always be equally accessible to all citizens, and was to be defended against private encroachment. This principle is now fundamental to the idea of a "public park", but was not assumed as necessary then. Olmsted's tenure as park commissioner in New York was a long struggle to preserve that idea.[11]
11.^ Melvin Kalfus, Frederick Law Olmsted: The Passion of a Public Artist, New York University Press 1991 p.308ff.As we get closer to the opening of Depot Park, perhaps a closer look at Olmsted's aesthetics is warranted for a large planned park of this size and ambition. But what is Depot Park going to be?
Here is an opportunity for city elders to shape a space for generations to come, and unless I'm mistaken, no one has truly identified Depot Park's purpose, except a place to give people in nearby apartment complexes springing up on Depot Road a place to jog and/or walk their dogs.
Let me go back to Olmstead for a moment. To me, his greatest contribution to American society and culture was the instrumental role he played in the development and management of Central Park in the middle of Manhattan. Like summers splashing in the Washington Square fountain with scores of other New Yorkers escaping the heat, I also grew up exploring Central Park and its various secret gardens and statuary (something Olmstead was opposed to having but relented to at the opening of the park; since then it has grown to include the Central Park Zoo); it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized the genius and beauty of Central Park in its careful planning. The southern end of the park seems the most populated with people and attractions, lakes for canoeing and sailboat races in the summer, ice skating rink in the winter, and the Central Park Zoo with its magical clock at the entrance that chimes in each hour with a dance of animals with instruments. It is not only because this part of the park is actually in the most urban, populated part of the city so it makes sense to make the main entrance and attractions close to the subways, trolleys, buses. But there was also another reason which many people may not realize, for making the southern part of the park more dense than any other; It wasn't so much that it was dense, but rather condensed for small legs. The Zoo, the boat lake, XXXX meadow and countless other treasured memories of childhood were built specifically on a child's scale. This is the genius of Central Park; it was truly a product of the times pre Civil-War, where the Industrial Revolution robbed workers of resources and their intrinsic connection to nature. Many would argue that we are separate from nature, especially those who would deign to know how much strain one can put on earth's resources. Olmstead, in his dedication to developing and (and, later) administering Central Park, along with many other public projects around the United States, allowed to flourish the radical notion that urban city dwellers, maybe even more so than their rural counterparts, needed above all else a place to reconnect with themselves, their families, and their communities.
The public park is by no means an American invention, but landscape architects like Olmstead were heavily influenced by their progenitors in Europe; The US has always had an insecurity complex about the new world they inhabit being too primitive, too savage and wild to be taken seriously by European designers who had over one thousand years of ancient parks and sacred sites under their belts, whereas America has only had its own parks department since barely the turn of the century. This is not to point out that, like the small speck of time humans have walked the earth

Shrubs are deciduous or evergreen woody plants and provide a variety of fragrant flowers, berries, autumn colour, foliage and coloured stems. In addition, they add shape and a basic structural framework to the garden and provide shelter and a food source for wildlife. They can be evergreen (retain leaves in winter) or deciduous (lose leaves in winter), although there are some that lose their leaves only in very cold weather (semi-evergreen).
Group ShrubsPlanting time October and AprilHeight and spread From less than 45cm (18in) to more than 4m (12ft) height and spread.Aspect sun, part shade or shadeHardiness H7 (very hardy) to H1a (heated greenhouse - tropical) Difficulty Difficult to Easy
Watch now
Shrubs vary substantially in shape, size and habit and come from a wide range of habitats and climatic conditions.
With an enormous range of shrubs, both deciduous, evergreen and semi-evergreen, offered by garden centres and nurseries it is possible to find ones to suit a wide range of sites. Selecting the right shrub for the right place and soil conditions and buying a good quality plant is important if the shrub is to thrive.
A shrubs native habitat indicates the growing conditions it requires in the garden. Most shrubs are usually reliable and easy to plant successfully but some from warmer climates suffer in winter and need the shelter of a wall or greenhouse and well-drained conditions. Others such as ericaceous (lime-hating) shrubs including rhododendrons and camellia thrive in a moist acid soil and should not be planted in dry, alkaline or limed soils.
To keep shrubs healthy, productive and attractive as well as to restrict their size, shrubs often need pruning. This can cause gardeners concern but these simple guides should help:
Many shrubs can be raised from cuttings; softwood, semi-ripe or hardwood. Others can be raised from seed.
There are literally thousands of shrubs to choose from and some of the best can be seen on the RHS Find a Plant. See the links below for help with choosing suitable shrubs for your garden:
Shrubs are usually very robust garden plants, but sometimes will start to decline for no apparent reason. This often starts with browning leaves but may indicate an underlying disease such as honey fungus, phytophthora root rot or verticillium wilt.
Yellow leaves (chlorosis) indicate a nutrient deficiency.
Newly planted trees have their own set of problems.

Those who knew Eugenio Pacelli describe him as a man of asceticism, piety and humility.
Such is the Vatican's confidence in the saintliness of the man who as Pope Pius XII presided over the Roman Catholic Church during the Second World War that the process of his beatification is nearing completion.
But a book by British author John Cornwell paints quite a different picture.
In "Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII," Cornwell, a practicing Catholic, depicts Pius as a man with "a secret antipathy toward the Jews" who was silent during the Holocaust.

Some of California's municipalities are so cash-strapped that California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer has commissioned a "default probability model" for city bonds that will allow California lawmakers and the public to identify the cities that are at the greatest risk of default. Under the model, each city will receive a numerical score reflecting its fiscal health.
Lockyer commissioned a San Jose State economist, Matthew Holian, and Public Sector Credit Solutions to develop the "default probability model," which will be fully transparent and available to everyone when it is published in May of 2013. Holian, the economist specializing in municipal policy issues, said the information would be "essential" for California residents, investors, decision makers, and real estate developers. "City solvency is an important and controversial issue that would benefit from unbiased, statistical modeling," Holian said.
Marc Joffe, the founder of Public Sector Credit Solutions, said his firm has collected data on "municipal bond defaults over the last 90 years and has published an open source software framework that can be used to create sovereign and municipal bond default probability models."
"Investors, political leaders and the general public would benefit from more precise measures of municipal bond risk to determine which cities are in the greatest jeopardy," Joffe said.
Joffe said the "default probability model" will generate easy-to-understand "numeric scores quantifying the likelihood of default" so bond investors will benefit from the scoring system just as "parents benefit from California's Academic Performance Index scores when considering schools."
In 2012, many prominent California municipalities — including Stockton, San Bernardino, and Compton — have faced or filed for bankruptcy.

Earn Money Blogging By Educating Yourself
I'm one of those guys that does a ton of research and when it comes to something like being able to earn money blogging or generating a passive or residual income, I'm all ears. I wholeheartedly believe in always increasing my knowledge of the Internet whether it's learning a different or more effective marketing technique or reviewing tools and systems to make things more simple and efficient.
While I have written quite a number of articles surrounding making money online – anywhere, of course – today I'm going to write about how I earn money blogging.
Now when I say "blogging" I may be using the term fairly loosely. I don't really consider myself a professional blogger, I'm more of an Internet marketer and very proud of the fact. That is not to say I don't do a bit of so-called blogging when it comes to things that I actually know something about and I do capitalize on that blogging as well from a standpoint of monetizing my blogs in different ways.
Three Methods I Use to Earn Money Blogging
There are a few different ways to earn money blogging and I'm going to go over two or three that I use to earn money with.
First, Google adsense. For me, this is a fantastic program and with this one site I probably generate a couple of hundred dollars a month. Now I know two hundred isn't anything to write home about, but you also have to remember that this isn't my only blog! You also have to remember that I am going to have to attract traffic to my blog for other purposes so making money with adsense is just sort of a bonus.
A lot of people use adsense exclusively to earn money blogging and the key is traffic generation and not just any traffic. Like anything else, you want to make sure that your traffic is very targeted. You should only have visitors coming to your site that are interested in what you are offering – sort of makes sense. If you sell bananas you don't want people looking for apples coming to your site, you want people looking for bananas. Yep, sounds pretty simple when you put it that way.
The second method I use to earn money blogging is with affiliate and referral programs. There are simply tons and tons of programs out there, that you can join to sell many different products. You can partner up with Amazon and sell all kinds of products or you can go with an affiliate opportunity like clickbank and sell digital products. You have many choices to pick from and you shouldn't have a difficult time finding something that you are interested in promoting.
The Best Way to Earn Money Blogging and From a Blog
I save the best (in my humble opinion) for last, network marketing or MLM. Now I know that for many folks out there network marketing is the last thing you want to hear about. Many people have begun a network marketing career with high hopes only to find themselves in utter frustration and failure within a fairly short period of time…somewhere around 4 months statistically speaking.
However, you need to look at this business model from a business perspective. Network marketing, when done properly (most struggle with this) is fairly simple to build and utilizing the Internet is a fantastic way to build your business because you can automate so many systems and automate so much of the work.
The biggest problem with network marketing is that people are not properly trained to market their programs online. The second biggest problem is that there is typically an auto-ship program of some type or another that distributors are involved with that can slowly drain your cash reserves. There's nothing like realizing that you have made $23 bucks in the last 3 months, but you have paid out over a grand and things just don't really seem to be getting any better. Good news, things can get better if you get the proper training!
The key, once again, is learning how to become an effective promoter and marketer of your program. Think about it, if you were able to effortlessly recruit someone every week to your program and then be a part of teaching that person to recruit a person into their business once a week then what would your business look like after 3 months? Probably would be making a buck or two also, wouldn't you? Like I said, I saved the best for last.
Learning to earn money blogging is not that difficult a process. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve, but if you are serious you can literally be started within the next 24 hours and begin to generate an income within a couple of months. Although I cannot teach you how to do this stuff overnight so you can make money the next night, you can eventually become a very proficient blogger and you too can earn money blogging online.

6. Your Song While making their album, "Anywhere But Here",
they worked with David Bendeth. They claimed that David was their "energy",
that they needed to make their album. Even though the band had not yet decided on a name for themselves, they went into the studio to record
their first EP, "Tales Told By Dead Friends". EP
is short for extended play. It is a musical recording that
contains more music than a single, but not enough music
to qualify as an album. They decided on the name
Mayday Parade during the week they spent recording.
Mayday Parade then went on a tour with Bradtson and Mêlée. Shortly after the release of the EP,
they went on another tour with Plain White T's. "A Lesson In Romantics" was Mayday Parade's debut album. After recording, Jason Lancaster left the band. Mayday Parade's latest concert was on November 16, 2012
at The Summit Music Hall, in Denver, Colorado. They bought a beach house in Panacea, Florida, to go to to write their songs. Derek says, "We decided the best way to write an album was to get away from everything and jam. There were no distractions, just the five of us and the ocean, although I don't think we went swimming more than a couple of times. We set up the equipment in the living room and played when we wanted to. We all contributed lyrics, lead lines, bass parts, bits of melody, and ideas for arrangements. Every song was a full collaboration. We decided to call it Mayday Parade, because, as much as a cliche as it is, we feel like a new band after all the stuff we've been through." Derek Sanders says,
"We want to thank everyone who believes in this band. It's amazing that we've been able to make a living playing music. Our goal is to continue touring, nationally and internationally, and put on the best shows we can." http://vanswarpedtour.com/band/mayday-parade http://www.concertboom.com/the-maine-mayday-parade/tour-dates/ 3 Extra Facts! Jeremy is the only band member who wears ear plugs onstage. When Jake was in high school, he was the kicker for his school football team. Derek says that if a zombie apocalypse occurred,
he would have to guess that the first Mayday Parade band member to die would be either Jake or Alex.

Information About Harry - Liverpool tutor
This is how a referee rated Harry:

Map Location
Personal Description:
My name is Harry . I am 19 years old and I am currently studying Primary teaching with QTS and with maths specialism at Liverpool Hope University. I am an extremely keen and enthusiastic about teaching. I have had lots of experience with children and even young adults working as a tutor and a coach. More information about my experience is provided below.
Tutoring Experience:
Along with my work at Bryn Collen Primary School (explained more below), I have worked as a private tutor for four different children. The first was a year six girl and two young boys with special educational needs studying their GCSE's. Both of these required maths and literacy tuition which I was able to provide for them. During my time working with these children the year six child moved up two levels (from a level 2 to a level 4), and the two boys studying their GCSE's successfully achieved a grade C in their maths and English (something which they and their fellow teachers thought was not possible!).
My most recent and most challenging pupil was a 25 year old, dyslexic boy who has been preparing for his Army selection. He has left school at 16 and his literacy and numeracy knowledge was nearly non- existent! I have been working with him for the last 3 months and watched him grow in confidence and Intelligence. He has gone from having no knowledge of basic long addition and fractions, to now reciting how to do algebra, and geometry. I have been so proud of my achievements with this pupil as despite everything that was initially against him, he worked extremely hard with me and focused and achieved his place in the army to become a combat medical technician.
I have worked hard in my education and always strived to achieve the highest standards. At school, I particularly enjoyed the subjects of maths and science. Although some may feel these subjects are traditionally more challenging, I have been lucky enough to have witnessed teachers specialising in these fields create enticing and exciting lessons which have had the ability to motivate even the least interested child. I have contributed to some of the ideas that the teachers in Bryn Collen have used to make the lessons fun and interesting. For example, to aid the children`s understanding of place value I suggested using a display as a numeracy learning wall with `Boogie Woogie Numbers` on place value. The children created a rap to remember place value and multiplication by 10,100 and 1000 they even made an animation as an additional resource. I also helped a teacher develop a maths booster club, which helped children explore investigations using a TASC wheel, and helping them with assessment strategies.
From the age of nine, I have also been a member of the Wrexham Swimming Club. This experience has taught me not only to be successful as an individual, but it has shown me the importance of being part of a team.
Most recently I have volunteered as a swimming coach, helping younger children to develop their skills as competitive swimmers.
My experience of education has been a most enjoyable one so far. I look forward to new possibilities, challenges and learning of different things everyday and I feel that teaching is an opportunity to fulfill my ambition and learn more.
Tutoring Approach:
I have always aspired to exceed the expectations of my teachers and parents throughout my academic career, and as I have grown, I have felt an urge to inspire younger children to do the same. My instinct to be self motivated and my strong determination to succeed, I believe, stems from the strong teaching character I saw my mother build for herself as I watched her complete her teacher training and become a recognised outstanding teacher in her own right.
I am currently studying primary education with QTS, specialising in maths this summer at Liverpool Hope University. I appreciate the needs of a varied and differentiated curriculum in order to ensure that every child reaches their full potential.
Over the past three years, I have been working as a volunteer in Ysgol Bryn Collen primary school. I enjoy the creativity and spontaneity, teaching younger children offers. Although significantly challenging, it is both rewarding and exhilarating. Whilst working in the school I have assisted groups of children, from the more able and talented to those with additional learning needs, showing me that a teacher should be able to adapt their skills to whatever is required of them.
During my time at Bryn Collen, the head teacher spoke highly of my contributions and said that I was a `good role model` for young male teachers. It was also noted that I have a quiet confidence.
I understand that education demands a variety of skills, and that one important feature is the ability to use ICT. Within the classroom and throughout my tutoring jobs, I have demonstrated how to implement animation and how to incorporate the use of computers, IPADS and sound technology.
I have always had an interest in drama, it has given me confidence and the ability to think of innovative and creative ideas. I believe drama activities such as hot-seating and freeze frames, songs and use of puppets can stimulate the minds and imaginations of the students and enhance lessons such as English, history and RE. My theatrical experience has taught me discipline and to work hard to the best of my ability, pushing myself at every opportunity.
I believe that I am a very approachable person and am willing to take on absolutely anything! One of my favorite quotes is "Reach for the moon because even if you miss you`ll land among the stars" and I love this because it is absolutely true. One thing I would encourage anyone I work with to do would be to aim as high as they possibly can and to push themselves to levels they never knew existed.

Break the cycle of poverty: help provide job-training opportunities to women in need.
The crushing cycle of chronic unemployment and poverty can leave women feeling hopeless and helpless, stealing their self-confidence and stranding them in shelters or on the streets. Those without even a GED or high-school diploma have an especially hard time supporting themselves — and many are single mothers who have children to care for as well.
A shelter may offer a temporary roof over their heads, but does nothing to help them toward self-sufficiency. To make lasting changes in their lives, these women need the training, help, and support to successfully develop job skills, find job opportunities, and discover where their talents lie.
Women's Bean Project offers transitional jobs designed to provide women with an immediate income, as well as support services to overcome barriers to employment. Life skills, GED and computer classes, and hands-on training are all crafted to help women support themselves and their families. The tools they gain empower these women to create better lives for themselves, provide their families with hope, and contribute to a stronger community.
You can help get women back on their own two feet. This Gift That Gives More™ helps fund practical workforce training for women in need — from jewelry-making to computer classes, and even forklift certification — setting them up for higher-wage jobs and self-sufficiency.
Report from the Field
From Women's Bean Project, September 2011:
In June, Women's Bean Project held our yearly open orientation. Staff called all past applicants for openings in the program. More than 100 showed up — and eventually we were able to hire 20 women on to add to our current crew. At 38, it is our largest group ever!
Angela is just one of the many women helped this year at Women's Bean Project: "I moved to Denver to help out family, and after I arrived, I just couldn't find a job fast enough. Bills started to pile up, and I couldn't pay my rent. I was never involved in drugs, and I don't have a felony. I started to feel really unstable, and stopped believing in myself. I got so tired of not being self-sufficient. Being homeless was so incredibly depressing. I learned a lot about myself at the Bean. I have gained so much self-esteem and confidence from being here. In my career, I really want to do something that gives back to the community in some way, especially after seeing how much good can be done. At the Bean, there really are a lot of wonderful participants, volunteers, donors and staff involved in making a difference."
About Women's Bean Project
Since 1989, Women's Bean Project has been dedicated to helping women break the cycle of poverty and unemployment. The project strives to change women's lives by providing stepping stones to self-sufficiency through social enterprise, breaking the cycle of chronic unemployment and poverty to help women support themselves and their families.

Tigers and lions occasionally eat elephants, though attacks are rare. Since the repercussions of a failed attack are fierce, the big cats tend to only prey on very weak and young elephants. Scavengers, such as hyenas, often feed on dead or dying elephants.Continue Reading
The biggest deterrent to predators is the elephant's herd lifestyle, which keeps the young under the watchful eye of their mothers and other relatives. Even a lone, healthy elephant can easily kill a lion or tiger, so the cats generally only strike out of desperation, when food is scarce. Attacks on young elephants by crocodiles do sometimes occur, as the species spends a lot of time in the water.Learn more about Elephants

In general, the client portfolios are under allocation to option investment.
The culture of Ascendant Capital plays a key part in the organization's success. The environment motivates if not relying upon the sense of trust and open dialogue between team members.

How David Giertz Is Helping People Get The Most Benefits Out Of Their Social Security
David Luther Giertz is a renowned financial advisor who has served in various prominent leadership positions in the financial advice sector on whitepages.com.
David Giertz's Background
Mr. David Giertz is an expert financial advisor currently serving as the Senior Vice President of Nationwide Financial Distribution and Sales. With an experience of over thirty years in this field, his advice is almost priceless. He also serves as a financial advisor at National Investment Services Corporation in Dublin, Ohio- a firm renowned for its excellent financial advice services.
In addition to being an advisor, Mr. Giertz is an FINRA registered broker who is authorized to act as a sales person on behalf of large brokerage firms. Moreover, Mr. Giertz also provides portfolio management to individuals who require the same.
The Interview on Necessity of Social Security Advice
The number of financial advisors speaking to their clients about social security is not enough according to Mr. David Giertz. A research conducted by Nationalwide Financial Retirement Institute at https://www.nationwide.com/about-us/040114-nf-new-mobile-app.jsp shows that four out of five people would change their advisor if they did not talk to them about security. He, therefore, sees that advisors should look into exploring the idea of giving security advice as a strategy customer retention and client satisfaction on wsj.com.
According to Mr. David Giertz, most advisors shy away from the subject of social security because of its complexity. The social security handbook is voluminous, having more than two thousand pages hence most advisors have either a shallow understanding of the rules, or do not have confidence in discussing them with their clients. He encouraged advisors to familiarize themselves with this matter to simplify their approach when talking to clients.
Additional surveys have indicated that most people view social security as a large part of their income after retirement – up to forty percent in some cases. Individuals who begin to depend on these funds prematurely end up losing large amounts of money (three hundred thousand dollars over twenty-five years), and it's imperative that they are advised to avoid such massive losses.
In conclusion, David emphasized on the necessity of availing information on social security to clients as this helps maximize usage of retirement income and customer retention.

Rutgers' Omar Boraie Chair in Genomic Science Makes New Brunswick A National Leader In Healthcare
New Jersey has become the epicenter of a new revolution in the medical community to develop innovative cures to a deadly disease that takes the lives of more than a half a million Americans every year: cancer. According to Yahoo.com and the Thomara Latimer Cancer Foundation 564,800 Americans succumb to the disease each year. Among those lost from cancer are patients who were diagnosed with cancers that are difficult to fight because they tend to be rare or they do not respond to the existing therapies and treatments that the medical community has developed to fight cancer. Fortunately there are researchers who have backgrounds in both the practice and study of cancer medicine that are leveraging their skills and a unique approach to cancer treatment to develop vital research that could improve the prospects of people that are diagnosed with cancer.
The Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey is on its way to making vital advancement in the worlds of cancer research and cancer treatment. The Institute as described by the NY Times is notable for being among a small group of medical centers that used genomic science to carry out gene sequencing on tumors and to use the practice of genomic sequencing as part of a paradigm known as precision medicine. According to the National Library of Medicine precision medicine is exactly what it sounds like. It is a treatment approach that considers the specificity of factors like genetics (among others) when determining which treatments would be best for a patient. The method allows doctors to use genomic science to be as precise as possible when treating cancer patients.
The work of the New Brunswick-based cancer organization is line with the city's endeavors to be set apart from its peers as the "Healthcare City." The Institute's work received a major boost nearly two years ago when, as noted by Newswise, local man Omar Boraie donated $1.5 million to the development of an endowed chair at the Institute that would be dedicated to the work the organization has done on genomic science's applications to cancer treatment. The position is known as the Omar Boraie Chair in Genomic Science and it is filled by noted cancer researcher Shridar Ganesan who holds a medical degree and a doctorate. According to Dr. Ganesan cancer is actually "a collection of diseases" that have distinctive characteristics that must be accounted for. Ganesan's approach to the disease is to go beyond categorizing it according to the part of the body that it develops in and involves using the Institute's distinctive approach to giving the cancers they examine more precise categorizations that can point toward more treatment plans that are better adapted to a patient's needs.

Why Shea Butter Is The Next Big Thing For Natural Beauty
For the past couple of years, natural beauty gurus have been singing the praises of facial oils. Oils like olive oil and sweet almond oil both moisturize skin on a deeper level than commercial moisturizers and cleanse the face, ridding it of impurities.
However, 2017 looks like it's going to be the year of shea butter. While many people mistaken shea butter for an oil, it's a completely different product that has numerous benefits.
If your skin suffers from dryness and flakiness in the winter, shea butter should be your new best friend. Shea butter has a richer consistency than oil. Typically, shea butter is waxy, thick and more solid. Think of the difference between shea butter and oil as the difference between a rich, thick moisturizer and a lotion.
Shea butter comes from West Africa. This waxy, fatty substance is derived from the nuts of the karite nut tree. Shea butter has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for numerous ailments, but its most popular use is in the treatment of dry skin.
Shea butter has a much higher nutritional content than most oils. Rich in vitamins A, E and F, this amazing product has cleansing properties as well as moisturizing properties. The vitamins help aid in the regeneration of healthy skin cells while combating aging. Its most popular healing benefit, however, is providing intense moisture to dry, chapped skin.
Shea butter successfully treats conditions like eczema and dermatitis as well as sunburn, frostbite, insect bites and allergic reactions such as hives.
It's important to find a shea butter that is unrefined and organic. This way you will be getting the most benefits of the product as the nutrients are more concentrated.
One popular shea butter company takes an ethical initiative in addition to providing a remarkably high-quality product. Eu'Genia Shea Butter is a family business that provides pure, unrefined shea butter in a small variety of concentrations for different applications.
Eu'Genia Shea Butter is committed to providing women of Ghana with work opportunities and fair wages. 15% of the company's profit provides women of Ghana with education.
If your skin is suffering as the result of dry winter weather, it's time to stock up on some shea butter and fight back against dry skin.

Desmond Tutu and the Christian "Yes" to Life
As an anecdote to the melancholy musings of Simone Weil, I looked up some speeches and interviews of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Aside from being extremely moved by his commitment to forgiveness and reconciliation, with which we are all familiar, I was especially struck by his manners, affect and humor as the pure embodiment of joy. Indeed, one has to ask the question, what is Desmond Tutu laughing about? Born and raised in the evil regime of apartheid, Desmond Tutu watched his people experience daily humiliation, imprisonment, torture and abuse. Even after the extraordinary moment of liberation for black South Americans and the initiative of peace and reconciliation, South Africa is still plagued with corruption, the AIDS epidemic, and violence. But it is clear from the speech he gave at UC Santa Barbara that Archbishop Tutu laughs, tells jokes and dances - in fact, much more than the average white Americans who have not come even close to experiencing the evils that he has witnessed in his lifetime.
Christians so often fall into trap of warm-bath pseudo-theology (how nice it is to be told once again by some feeble-minded preacher that "God loves us all!" "Jesus loves us all!") that it would be easy to mistake Desmond Tutu's radical Christian rhetoric of hope as one of false optimism. But there is nothing easy about Archbishop Tutu's claim that God loves Bin Laden and George W. Bush, too. It is not easy because he is not saying that they are not guilty. Nothing can be farther from the truth than the claim that Desmond Tutu is indulging the brutal white oppressors. He makes it clear that he is far from granting them innocence. In fact, the concept of forgiveness would have no meaning if the forgiven person were to be found innocent. Responsibility being an urgent question in modernity (nowadays it seems that every criminal has the right to his or her crime based on his or her childhood traumas and adolescent misadventures), Desmond Tutu is holding the criminals responsible yet holding open the door.
Desmond Tutu's feat lies in his application in the political realm of two Christian notions that on the surface look like the most a-political notions of all: forgiveness and confession. These two notions do not sound as political as "the first will be last, the last will be first," the notion that makes the Christian roots of socialist revolutions unmistakable. Both forgiveness and confession are about surrendering power and rights. To forgive, as Desmond Tutu puts it beautifully, is to jettison one's rights to revenge. To confess, one admits one is wrong: both in the confessional booth or in mass, one is asked to kneel in order to display a physical sign of humility. Both confession and forgiveness give away power, which is why they are much more unpopular than their weaker kin, namely justice.
The word "justice" holds much more power in secular society, both as a name for our legal apparatus and for our so-called humanitarian activities, which often has "social justice" written all over their brochures. One wonders if the enormous satisfaction we get out of watching television shows about the court or the police has also to do with the momentary exhilaration of watching the bad guys get caught, prosecuted, etc. What is radical about Desmond Tutu's theology and political action is that he wants to go beyond justice, because he knows that justice does not restore equilibrium and harmony. There is almost something ecological about his way of handling human affairs: the issue is not so much who are the evil-doers, who threw the poison into the river, but how do we get the poison out of our community so that we all may drink good water again.
Without in any way disagreeing with Hannah Arendt's assessment of Adolf Eichmann as a buffoon, I wonder how the 1200 or so pages of his testimony (the inanity of which made Arendt laugh out loud instead of cry) would have been different if he were asked not to defend himself but to confess. I wonder if Arendt could have been spared her enormous irritation with the sob stories of victims (the very irritation that got her in trouble with the Jewish community all over), if they were not asked to perform their victimhood, if it was acknowledged as the premise of the trial that they had been hurt. Obviously this would not have been a conceivable model for the Jerusalem court, but is there any surprise that the defendant should always be someone who closes oneself off to the accusing party, for defense means no other than closing one's fortress, closing one to truth? Is there any surprise that a system based on justice and retribution would require that the accusing party to demonstrate their grievances?
Desmond Tutu's radicality lies in his transformation of the system of justice from the defendant-plaintiff model to the confessor-forgiver model, whose political value lies in its openness. What is interesting is that Archbishop Tutu's "political ecology" is only possible with a notion of evil that is not attached to a person but is something that takes a person hostage. It is a system that assumes that all human beings strive for life and the good the way plants strive for the sun and water. Nietzsche famously accuses Christianity of slave mentality, and whether he is right or not, he is calling attention to the inherent pessimism and perhaps masochism in a religion that is based on the idea of turning the other cheek. But in Desmond Tutu, we are reminded that if the good is on the side of the oppressed, it is also on the side of joy, harmony and peace. While the image of Eden might be a dangerous trap for the kind of utopian thinking that leads to bloody revolutions, it can easily be mobilized in Desmond Tutu's ecological ethics as the imaginary in comparison to which oppression and evil cannot but appear as an aberration. Eden, as an image of flourishing, of life, of harmony, is not so much our dream but "God's dream for us." Maybe the image of Eden is the secret to Desmond Tutu's seemingly perpetual smile, a smile that is as warm and genuine as it is enigmatic.
In listening to Desmond Tutu, one is struck by the sense of exaltation that permeates all his speeches and interviews. The use of metaphors such as an eagle being let free off the cliff, to "fly, fly, fly" certainly presents a very different image of Christianity than the "no to life." If only Nietzsche could have seen, instead of depressed, myoptic, crouching German Protestants of the 19th century, this African elder who laughs, who tells jokes, who shouts "Ubuntu! Ubuntu!" who leads his people away from violence, revenge and destruction and into the joy of life. No doubt, Nietzsche is right that Christianity as a tradition is itself largely responsible for secularism, disenchantment and the nihilism that ensues in the west. But it is perhaps not so much the presence of Christianity but the absence of "Ubuntu," the being of person through other persons, that made the white man so depressed, alone and full of resentment. Perhaps this is all the more reason that the white man needs the man of color to bring him back his humanity. The individualist white man needs the black man to teach him once again that life is joy only when it is not simply "my life" but the life principle itself that every being shares.

Peasants and Beggars
Jackie asked me about articles on beauty in urban neighborhoods, so my mind wandered as I thought to myself, "But what do we really mean by beauty? Whose beauty? The Anglo-Saxon ideal or the African-American ideal?" (The recent exchange on music in the church included a comment by Jackie that some folks can't get beyond the 19th century, which I assume to be Victorian, Edwardian culture, etc.) I then started to think about why the contemporary discourse on poverty, illness, old age and death is so insufficient in this era of speed, beauty and health. We have no patience for melancholy (psychiatric over-prescription is a real problem), for old people who walk and talk slowly, and needless to say, for the poor.
Beauty is indeed the question; I have been advocating it in my last posts as part of elite Episcopalian social responsibility. I am not taking those thoughts back, but I wonder if we should also think about representations of the socially marginalized. I did a quick search for images of the beggar in the history of western art, and intriguingly I found that pre-modern depictions of beggars and cripples are usually absent of any psychologism or sentimentality. More importantly, as demonstrated by the great northern painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting, Peasant Wedding, there is no fetishization of the poor as the "other." Where are the "poor" in this painting? The decor of the room is bare and simple; the celebrants of the feast are in humble peasant attires and their manners naive and rough; the food looks like soup. By our standards, these northern European peasants of the 16th century would be poor. But in this painting, they are the hosts of a feast; moreover, they're letting the beggars into the party in the upper left hand corner. The beggars, for that matter, don't seem to look as miserable as the modern bourgeois would like. We are more used to romanticized depictions of near naked children, bare-footed yet doe-eyed, sitting on the road. If they happen to be dark-skinned, it sets them even farther away from our comfortable lives and allow us to shed even more tears of pity. But this painting presents a raucous scene of festivity that is completed by the entry of the beggars. If they are taking away resources, the beggars also add joy and merriment.
Pieter Bruegel represents a school of painting that is relatively indifferent to the aesthetic standards of the art academies, which in Italy and France began to flourish based on a systematization of artistic achievements of southern Renaissance. Instead, Bruegel is known for enigmatic, ludic scenes that derive from the vernacular, the folkloric. He is the painter of the peasants and their non-ideal faces: crooked noses, fat chins, missing teeth. Yet no one who has spent some time looking at Bruegel's paintings could remain untouched by the unruly tenderness that he gives to these figures. They are paradoxically both ugly and beautiful: they occupy the ambiguous zone between the real world and the fairy tale. In this strange way, this painting does not separate the world into the rich and poor, the beautiful and the ugly. Instead, it divides the world into the hosts and the guests, both of whom have a right to fill the house where food abounds. I wonder if there aren't some things to be learned from such a view of the world.
The need for beauty is human, but it is also essentially fascist and totalitarian (there are hundreds of books and articles about fascism as the aesthetization of the world), unless we commit ourselves to loving only what is both beautiful and good, and what is good must be real. Crooked nose and missing teeth are real; the uncouth manners of the peasants are real; the bare benches and pots of brown-ish soups are real; and the disruption of the party by the hungry beggars is real. But Bruegel seems to be charmed by such realities; he muses on them; he transforms the beggars and the peasants, not by idealizing them as 19th-century bourgeois novelists would do, but by distancing himself just enough to give us a totalistic view of how the world is composed.
I think this painting is the perfect image for Jackie's community kitchen, because it includes the beggars into the world. Ultimately, homeless people and bourgeois people still belong to one world, they still tread the same ground on God's earth - this is the greatest mystery of all.

"Elation. Elegance. Exaltation."
This past Sunday, All Saints Sunday, Christ Church Cathedral in Houston hosted a jazz mass featuring an improvisational piece called The Gospel According to John Coltrane (based on "A Love Supreme") in lieu of the sermon. The composer's jazz quartet performed the majority of the service music gleaned from African American spirituals and Americana: "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," "Let Us Break Bread Together," and a rousing "When the Saints Go Marching In" at the end of the service. The composer of the Love Supreme piece also arranged the music for the Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei.
As I glanced through the bulletin while listening to the bassist tune his instrument and the saxophonist warm up, I had my doubts. Not only had I had my own personal spirituality-and-Coltrane horror story (imagine a seminar on African American religion in which the students had to lie down on the floor and listen to "A Love Supreme"). I also got the sense that the cathedral's highbrow choir and congregation are much more notable for their appreciation of exquisite traditional song settings than improvisational music paired with Coltrane's psychedelic lyrical musings about how all thoughts and vibrations trace back to God. They might appreciate Coltrane in the abstract, but this was a different animal.
Early on, it became clear that the cathedral was getting pretty full - almost to Christmas and Easter numbers - and that it was a mix of people, including a good number who aren't the usual Sunday crowd. The opening hymn was a traditional Ralph Vaughan Williams accompanied by the organ, and then came the Gloria. An upbeat gospel tune. The presiding priest continued with the Collect, adding in some extra phrases (oh yes we do!) as she prayed in her Texas accent, and the congregation chuckled and then laughed loudly as we all sat for the first lesson. Clearly the jarring presence of this kind of music, the fullness of the church, and the awareness that we were mostly white folks had created a level of nervous energy that needed some release. Charismatic we are not.
Things settled down after that, and then, instead of the sermon, the Love Supreme piece began. Like the original Coltrane recording, it was a four-part piece that combined spoken word (a choir member reading of the words of Coltrane's poem from the liner notes - words that are also "spoken" through the saxophone), the choir singing certain phrases, and, of course, the quartet's music. The most jarring part: the extended drum solo. The most moving for me: the duet between the saxophone (moved to the rear of the church), and the trumpet, still in the front. From wailing and mournful to ecstatic, the two instruments played off one another, filling the entire building with their plaintive cries. All throughout, Coltrane's four beats (the part where he softly sings "a love supreme") continued, driving the music forward underneath all of the improvisation - the choir softly sang "we thank you God" from time to time as well.
I was sitting next to an elderly woman and a visitor there for the jazz (he didn't take communion), and I realized that this is what church should be. This is what Episcopalians can offer: openness and experimentation some Sundays, Anglican plainsong on other Sundays - a whole range of voices and experiences that speak to a whole range of people. If anything, I felt a strong and stirring sense of community with everyone who was in the cathedral experiencing this unusual and striking mixture, and all of this came together even more poignantly when the presiding priest proclaimed that All Saints Day was for mourning and for celebrating life - she listed all of the names of those who had died in the past year, and we renewed our baptismal vows.
The service ended perfectly with a very New Orleans version of "The Saints Go Marching In" - the choir, instead of processing, gathered at the front of the church, next to the jazz quartet, and clapped, as did we all. Somehow reconciled with this uncharacteristic display of joy in church, everyone burst into extended applause at the service's end.

William A. Boone, 87, former president of Bell & Gossett Co. and later president of International Telephone and Telegraph Co.'s fluid handling division, died of cancer Saturday, Aug. 3, in his Glencoe home.
Mr. Boone was born on the North Side and in 1932 graduated from Senn High School, where he played the trumpet and cornet in a national championship-winning marching band, his wife, Florence, said. At the University of Iowa he majored in business, wrestled, played football and was voted "Best Dressed Man on Campus," family members said.

Giant Mirror for Sun-Deprived Italian Village.
From the website:
A sun-deprived village in the Italian Alps has come up with a novel solution to fix the problem - by installing a giant mirror.
The mirror - an eight-by-five metre (26x16ft) sheet of steel - was placed on a nearby peak to reflect sunlight onto Viganella's main square below. The computer-operated mirror will now be constantly following the sun's path.
Viganella sits at the bottom of a steep valley, and surrounding mountains cut off direct sunlight during the winter.
Newest 1 Comment
We've made jokes about doing that around here for... forever. There are some communities between mountains where the sun is gone by 3PM, even in the summer. But here, a coal truck would sling a chunk and break it the first day!
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

5 EDM Generes That Will Take Over America
Music genres rise and fall like the tides. They gain momentum in the underground, rise into the mainstream, and crash into obscurity. Then, the cycle begins again.
EDM fans are no stranger to this process. Fueled by the internet, dance music evolves at a breakneck pace. New sounds explode in popularity every year, and 2014 will be no different. The fun part is predicting the next craze.
We're betting these genres will occupy US main stages very soon.
5. Ghetto Funk
Ghetto Funk is the west coast's answer to trap. It fuses hip hop and bass music with a focus on live instruments and turntable skills. Most tracks sound like a mix of glitch and breaks, but some explore electro vibes and others embrace straight funk sounds.
Canada and the UK have represented Ghetto Funk for years, but the genre is rapidly leaking into the US. Griz and Gramatik—among others—are exposing mainstream EDM to funk like never before and leading the charge toward a bass music revolution.
Major Artists: A.Skillz | Featurecast | Fort Knox Five | JPOD | Slynk
4. Psychedelic Trance
Psy Trance is the high-octane, slightly insane cousin of mainstream trance. It trades euphonic melodies for pounding basslines and mind-bending samples.
In America, Psy Trance mainly survives in forest raves and after-hours shows. However, Infected Mushroom have given the genre a modern rebirth and Armin Van Buuren's Who's Afraid of 138!? label is also exploring the style.
Major Artists: Astrix | Coming Soon | Infected Mushroom | Liquid Soul | Neelix
3. Hardstyle
Hardstyle takes epic to the extreme. Its distored kick and trance-like melodies can fill an arena with ease. Together with its rapid tempo, the genre could soon overtake big room house as a main stage favorite.
QDance, a Dutch event company, is responsible for much of Hardstyle's success. In 2002, the company began championing Hardstyle in the Netherlands. Since then, their larger-than-life productions (see above) keep getting bigger, and their reach has gone global—including stops at EDC and TomorrowWorld.
Major Artists: Headhunterz | Noise Controllers | Ran-D | The Prophet
2. Drum & Bass
Drum & Bass is sonic adrenaline at its finest. Few genres can top its abrasive bass or its blistering pace. Seriously, children and pregnant women be advised—DnB will send your heartbeat to at least 170BPM.
If you were raving in the 1990s, you were probably listening to Drum & Bass. The genre exploded first in the UK and then across the US. It was eclipsed by dubstep for a time, but is rapidly returning to the mainstream. DnB artists are now appearing atop American festival lineups and the genre has even crossed into the pop charts.
Major Artists: Andy C | DJ Fresh | Noisia | Pendulum | Sub Focus
1. Nu Disco
Nu Disco is everything that made the original genre great, without the terrible dance moves. It's part house, part 70s groove, and all around feel good music. No wonder it has become a go-to for pool parties and beachfront festivals.
The French House sound has been mixing disco and dance for decades. In the last few years, however, a new crop of producers have reinvigorated the genre with fresh influences from indie rock to garage. Along with the return of Daft Punk, nu-disco is now an emerging staple of nightclubs and festivals throughout the US.
Major Artists: Aeroplane | Breakbot | Classixx | Flight Facilities | Viceroy
