A Tesla Model S recently crashed into a utility pole in Murfreesboro, TN, and managed to black out local power for a few hours. The driver was taken to the hospital but there are no reports of injuries.
We know, this is a thin story, but the irony caught our eye. What's more interesting is seeing how EVs, still new and pretty rare in some areas, are approached in an accident situation. On that front, local radio station WGNS says utility workers knew how to fix the downed wires, but emergency personnel were slightly slowed by the Model S. The first responders had to both check out the Tesla website and also contact the company directly:
Before police could release the electric vehicle to be loaded onto the flatbed wrecker, they had to secure information on how to turn off the Tesla Model S. Officials received technical instructions, and the all electric 4-door car was shut down.
Learn something new every day.
*UPDATE: WGNS now says driver is now charged with a DUI.

In the wee hours of the morning on an uncomfortable summers night in early 2005 two mates sat exchanging ideas of where they could go out for a few drinks. They longed for somewhere different, somewhere they hadn't been before. After an hour or so of searching online and finding no sites with what they were looking for they gave up and decided that it was time to change the way Melbournians make decisions in their nightlife. A revolution was to be born that night!
Almost a year later what was once purely a vision is now a reality. The brains behind Clubsguide are:

The Belkin TuneCast 3 FM transmitter's car power adapter has an unusual thickening at the plug which plugs into the transmitter. I suspect that is a filter which prevents the transmitter's output signal from entering the power cable and I theorize that if the filter wasn't there some signal would radiate from the cable resulting in a stronger output. Sure enough when I used a 5V adapter I have instead of the transmitter's adapter (75mA at 5.5V, centre positive) I got a noticably less noisy signal. It might actually make the difference between the FM transmitter being too weak to use and it being usable.
Note: I'm not recommending this FM transmitter. I am just using it because I was able to buy it at a very low price and I only need it very occasionally. Yes, it's probably the best looking FM transmitter and the multi-colour OLED display is impressive. However, the most important thing is being able to hear your music without noise, and it is not very good at that. Some people also have problems with it shutting off automatically. I didn't have that problem.

A simple way to boost Belkin Tunecast 3 signal.
2 comments:
So, how do you go about doing that? My brother gave me his old Belkin fm transmitter, but it's so staticky... I'm frustrated.

It's easy to find other 5V adapters. I have one for an old Archos MP3 player and one for my cell phone. Make sure the polarity is correct (centre/tip positive).
It's also possible to open up the transmitter and bypass the RF attenuator/filter.

(Video: Centro de Trabadores Unidos en Lucha)
Non-union janitors who clean Target stores in Minnesota say they'll go on strike unless their employers agree by noon on Sunday to meet and discuss alleged crimes.
The workers are employed by three janitorial contractors—Prestige Maintenance USA, Diversified Maintenance Systems and Carlson Building Maintenance—and work inside Target facilities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The strike threat follows a series of OSHA charges alleging that employees of those companies were denied proper safety training and locked inside of Target stores, and National Labor Relations Board charges alleging that they were retaliated against for organizing. The charges and the strike threat were spearheaded by the Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en Lucha (CTUL), a Twin Cities labor group that, as The Nation reported, has been organizing retail cleaning workers for two years.
"I guess I'd say I'm not scared," Diversified employee and CTUL activist Alejandro Quirino told The Nation (in Spanish). "Because I'm fed up and sick and tired of how they've treated us, and how our demands have been ignored. And that's why I'm going to go on strike. If I get fired, I know I was fighting for what's right, and putting in what I could to fight for what's fair."
CTUL is demanding that contractors meet to discuss the alleged safety and labor law violations, which it says include the firing of two workers less than a week after one of them had appeared in a campaign video. "Management told one of my co-workers that if a worker tries to strike or organize with their co-workers, they'll be fired," said Quirino.
CTUL's deadline is the same day as the strike deadline set by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members who clean commercial offices in the Twin Cities, including Target's headquarters. CTUL and SEIU have been collaborating in recent months and hope to eventually win formal union recognition and collective bargaining for CTUL members (the workers would become members of SEIU, while remaining members of CTUL, one of the country's hundreds of alternative labor groups). That means the unionized commercial building janitors and their non-union retail counterparts could soon be on strike together.

Download SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
SSMS is an integrated environment for managing any SQL infrastructure, from SQL Server to SQL Database. SSMS provides tools to configure, monitor, and administer instances of SQL. Use SSMS to deploy, monitor, and upgrade the data-tier components used by your applications, as well as build queries and scripts.
Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to query, design, and manage your databases and data warehouses, wherever they are - on your local computer, or in the cloud.
SSMS is free!
SSMS 17.x is the latest generation of SQL Server Management Studio and provides support for SQL Server 2017.
Download SQL Server Management Studio 17.8.1 (no previous version of SSMS 17.x is required on the computer)
Download SQL Server Management Studio 17.8.1 Upgrade Package (upgrades 17.x to 17.8.1; a previous version of SSMS 17.x is required on the computer)
Version Information
Release number: 17.8.1
Build number: 14.0.17277.0
Release date: June 26, 2018
The SSMS 17.x installation does not upgrade or replace SSMS versions 16.x or earlier. SSMS 17.x installs side by side with previous versions so both versions are available for use. If a computer contains side by side installations of SSMS, verify you start the correct version for your specific needs. The latest version is labeled Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17, and has a new icon:
Available Languages
Non-English localized releases of SSMS require the KB 2862966 security update package if installing on: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
This release of SSMS can be installed in the following languages:
SQL Server Management Studio 17.8.1:
Chinese (People's Republic of China) | Chinese (Taiwan) | English (United States) | French | German | Italian | Japanese | Korean | Portuguese (Brazil) | Russian | Spanish
SQL Server Management Studio 17.8.1 Upgrade Package (upgrades 17.x to 17.8.1):
Chinese (People's Republic of China) | Chinese (Taiwan) | English (United States) | French | German | Italian | Japanese | Korean | Portuguese (Brazil) | Russian | Spanish
The SQL Server PowerShell module is now a separate install through the PowerShell Gallery. For more information, see Download SQL Server PowerShell Module.
SQL Server Management Studio
New in this Release
SSMS 17.8.1 is the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio. The 17.x generation of SSMS provides support for almost all feature areas on SQL Server 2008 through SQL Server 2017. Version 17.x also supports SQL Analysis Service PaaS.
Version 17.8.1 includes:
General SSMS
Database Properties:
- This improvement exposes the "AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES" configuration option for Filegroups. This new config option is added under the Database Properties > Filegroups window in the form of a new column (Autogrow All Files) of checkboxes for each available Filegroup (except for Filestream and Memory Optimized Filegroups). The user can enable/disable AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES for a particular Filegroup by toggling the corresponding Autogrow_All_Files checkbox. Correspondingly, the AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES option is properly scripted when scripting the database for CREATE / generating scripts for the database (SQL2016 and above).
SQL Editor:
- Improved experience with Intellisense in Azure SQL Database when the user doesn't have master access.
- General performance improvements, especially over high-latency connections.
Analysis Servics (AS)
- Analysis Services client libraries and data providers updated to the latest version, which added support for the new Azure Government AAD authority (login.microsoftonline.us).
Supported SQL offerings
- This version of SSMS works with all supported versions of SQL Server 2008 - SQL Server 2017 and provides the greatest level of support for working with the latest cloud features in Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
- Use SSMS 17.x to connect to SQL Server on Linux.
- Additionally, SSMS 17.x can be installed side by side with SSMS 16.x or SQL Server 2014 SSMS and earlier.
- SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) - SSMS version 17.x does not support connecting to the legacy SQL Server Integration Services service. To connect to an earlier version of the legacy Integration Services, use the version of SSMS aligned with the version of SQL Server. For example, use SSMS 16.x to connect to the legacy SQL Server 2016 Integration Services service. SSMS 17.x and SSMS 16.x can be installed side-by-side on the same computer. Since the release of SQL Server 2012, the SSIS Catalog database, SSISDB, is the recommended way to store, manage, run, and monitor Integration Services packages. For details, see SSIS Catalog.
Supported Operating systems
This release of SSMS supports the following 64-bit platforms when used with the latest available service pack:
- Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
- Windows 8 (64-bit)
- Windows 7 (SP1) (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2016 *
- Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
* SSMS 17.X is based on the Visual Studio 2015 Isolated shell, which was released before Windows Server 2016. Microsoft takes app compatibility seriously and ensures that already-shipped applications continue to run on the latest Windows releases. To minimize issues running SSMS on Windows Server 2016, ensure SSMS has all of the latest updates applied. If you experience any issues with SSMS on Windows Server 2016, contact support. The support team determines if the issue is with SSMS, Visual Studio, or with Windows compatibility. The support team then routes the issue to the appropriate team for further investigation.
SSMS installation tips and issues
Minimize Installation Reboots
- Take the following actions to reduce the chances of SSMS setup requiring a reboot at the end of installation:
- Make sure you are running an up-to-date version of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package. Version 12.0.40649.5 (or greater) is required. Only the x64 version is needed.
- Verify the version of .NET Framework on the computer is 4.6.1 (or greater).
- Close any other instances of Visual Studio that are open on the computer.
- Make sure all the latest OS updates are installed on the computer.
- The noted actions are typically required only once. There are few cases where a reboot is required during additional upgrades to the same major version of SSMS. For minor upgrades, all the prerequirements for SSMS are already installed on the computer.
Release Notes
The following are issues and limitations with this 17.8.1 release:
- Clicking the Script button after modifying any filegroup property in the Properties window, generates two scripts – one script with a USE
statement, and a second script with a USE master statement. The script with USE master is generated in error and should be discarded. Run the script that contains the USE statement.
- Some dialogs display an invalid edition error when working with new General Purpose or Business Critical Azure SQL Database editions.
- Some latency in XEvents viewer may be observed. This is a known issue in the .NET Framework. Please, consider upgrading to NetFx 4.7.2.
- Replication Monitor crashes with a Could not load file or assembly... error. To workaround this issue:
- Close SqlMonitor.exe (i.e. Repl Monitor) and SSMS.
- Download the updated sqlmonitor.exe.config from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AizXOqHzD6izqpR-zgdH7kEAxvRACw.
- Replace sqlmonitor.exe.config (it is usually under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn") with the one you downloaded.
- Restart SSMS and/or Replication Monitor.
Uninstall and reinstall SSMS
If your SSMS installation is having problems, and a standard uninstall and reinstall doesn't resolve them, you can first try repairing the Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell. If repairing the Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell doesn't resolve the problem, the following steps have been found to fix many random issues:
Uninstall SSMS the same way you uninstall any application (using Apps & features, Programs and features, etc. depending on your version of Windows).
Uninstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell from an elevated cmd prompt:
PUSHD "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\FE948F0DAB52EB8CB5A740A77D8934B9E1A8E301\redist"
vs_isoshell.exe /Uninstall /Force /PromptRestart
Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable the same way you uninstall any application. Uninstall both x86 and x64 if they're on your computer.
Reinstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell from an elevated cmd prompt:
PUSHD "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\FE948F0DAB52EB8CB5A740A77D8934B9E1A8E301\redist"
vs_isoshell.exe /PromptRestart
Reinstall SSMS.
Upgrade to the latest version of the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable if you're not currently up to date.

OF Brad Hawpe-Colorado Rockies
Hawpe just got out of a slump and homered in two straight games. He's the cleanup hitter in Colorado behind Matt Holliday. The Colorado 1-2-3 hitters are Willy Taveras, Clint Barmes, and Matt Holliday. Taveras doesn't get on base enough but Barmes and Holliday so Hawpe will get RBI. The Rockies have won 6 of 8 by the way.
P CC Sabathia-Milwaukee Brewers
Sabathia's value just increased a ton when he moved to the NL. He was pitching very well up until his departure from Cleveland and his numbers will only get better in Milwaukee. His W-L record will surely improve playing for a contender. Closer Salomon Torres will protect Sabathia's efforts in the ninth a hell of a lot better than Cleveland's sorry bullpen. See if you can piece together a deadline deal for Sabathia.
P Masa Kobayashi-Cleveland Indians
Now that Cleveland designated Joe Borowski for assignment, Manager Eric Wedge said Masa will get some save opportunites. He has decent numbers and the way some closers have been pitching lately (cough Todd Jones), maybe keeping an eye on Kobayashi would be wise.
SS Edgar Renteria-Detroit Tigers
Renteria looked to be on his way up in late June when he pieced a five-game hitting streak together, but he has fallen into one of the worst slumps I have ever seen. If you haven't cut Renteria already, you probably should. Mariners backup catcher Jamie Burke managed to get an out against Renteria to cap off his 0-7 day on Sunday. A lot of people predicted a productive season for Renteria this year in that Tigers lineup but that obviously didn't pan out.
P Vicente Padilla-Texas Rangers
Padilla has given up 7 and 8 earned runs in his last two starts, quite the departure from first half success. Not even Texas' explosive offense can allow Padilla to keep pitching like this. The news on Padilla lately suggest that he's been hampered by his neck and thumb these days and may miss his next scheduled start. That might not be a bad thing for this team though.
OF Elijah Dukes-Washington Nationals
The Nationals' season just got even worse after Elijah Dukes trashed his knee in the outfield. He is out 4-6 weeks, effecitvely ending the fantasy craze that surrounded Dukes. From June 30 to his injury, he was batting .348 wih 3 home runs with an OBP of .400. Some possible replacements in your lineup are Andre Ethier or Brad Hawpe.

hi again im not good at that with runes i suggest you look at the rune tips which you can also find on this site
twitch is very squishy so at the start u should stay back and farm to get money
if an opponent team buys a oracle then try to kill that opponent before dealing with the others as twitch u shall join the battle as the last one
when you have all the items to the black cleaver u should be damaging a lot i havent added bloodthirster becuase its best to fully avoid damage
a little hint is if many opponents is staying together in a group then using your ulti to damage the 1 behind the other opponents would damage their whole team
with this build you should be shooting through their armor like a warm knife through butter
well i hope u vould use this build :)

Do you?
Hi everyone. Hope you are all well and having a great week so far.
I won't be around much this week, other than a scheduled post for Friday. I have a visitor coming from the UK :-) My Dad, is coming to stay with us for a few days. We haven't seen him for 10 years! Since leaving the UK. So we are really looking forward to the visit.
I do have something to share with you that I have been working on. And I have to say I am so pleased with how this turned out.
I am showcasing 4 of the new fairies off the fabulous new release....

CASA Superhero Fun Run Route Information
Our Superheroes will start at the clubhouse and follow the course as marked in red. Shortly after leaving the clubhouse there will be a 90 degree turn to the right leading to the first pond which is also the turnaround point for the 1k. After rounding the lake, the 5k runners will head to hole 7 where they can get a drink, get their hand stamp and use the facility if need be (pictured below). This will mark the halfway point of the course, and runners will return to the start/finish line at the clubhouse. Slower runners will need to yield to the faster runners by staying to the right. The race will end in the same spot it began. The event arch will show runner's times on an LCD screen. The option to zoom in/out on the map is on the bottom right hand corner of the map.(Water locations and halfway point pictured below.)

1. You know when you meet someone new and within a few minutes of talking with them you realize they are EXTREMELY savvy and you'd do pretty much anything they recommended you do? I have a new co-worker like this, and last week when I started feeling sick she recommended I get myself some Manuka honey. Have you all heard of this? It's pricey - $35 for an 18-ounce jar (to me that's pricey), but after five days of a horrible sore throat and visiting the doctor today only to be told that what I have is viral and I'll get over it eventually, I was happy to plunk down my cash and try this magical honey. BOY, am I glad I did. It is like nature's Chloraseptic spray. I take that back. It is nothing like Chloraseptic spray because unlike Chloraseptic spray, Manuka honey actually WORKS. I took a teaspoon of it - that's not true - I ripped the lid and seal off of it and feverishly shoved a giant blob into my mouth as soon as I got home from the grocery store. No lie, it cut down on my pain almost immediately. After I'd calmed down a bit, I made myself some tea and added a little honey to it and things only got better. If you get sick this winter, do yourself a favor and get this honey. Apparently you can also use it topically to soothe bug bites and cuts. And, it just happens to be from New Zealand - the birthplace of Jam.
2. I want leg warmers. If I hadn't just spent $35 on honey, I'd treat myself to these.
3. I made up a recipe this weekend. I'm calling it Faux Pho. I used to LOVE to eat Pho Ga from Pho Pasteur when I was sick so I basically took everything I used to love and thought I could taste in that and put it in a pot and cooked it. This is NOT real pho. Not even close. Hence the name, Faux Pho. Here's what I did: boil a gigantic boneless/skinless chicken breast in salted water with a whole shallot peeled and cut in half (it was all I had in, you could use any onion.) Take the chicken out after 20-ish mins (leave the water in the pot) and shred it with two forks. Add one Wyler's chicken bouillon cube (I know) to the pot along with a cup or two of water. Heat that up. Grate a fair amount of fresh ginger - ginger makes me feel better - and add that in. Slice up a few cloves of garlic and cook them in a little oil in a separate pan until the slices are golden, then throw those in. Add the shredded chicken. Add some lime zest. Add some Sriracha - a teaspoon-ish, more if you're REALLY congested. Or if you're nasty. Add a tiny bit of soy sauce. Let all of that hang out and simmer a bit. Soak some rice noodles in hot water until they are soft - 15 mins or so. Put the rice noodles in a bowl and ladle the broth/chicken over the noodles. Top with cilantro if you have it, scallions, and a hearty lime squeeze. Eat. Immediately feel a little bit better.
4. There are SO many movies out right now that I'm dying to see. On my list for my holiday break - Jackie and Manchester By The Sea.
5. Two weeks from today it will be 2017. Aside from the fact that we are (probably) going to inaugurate a complete and total moron as President, I REALLY cannot wait to get started on a new year. 2016 was a rough ride for me and seemingly for everyone else, too. I'm not ready to dive into my reflections on this awful year just yet, but I did dive into making plans for sending it on its way. I decided I wanted to spend New Year's Eve alone. I'm taking myself to a class at North End Yoga that will run from 10pm to midnight on December 31st and then I'm going right to bed. I'm getting up on January 1st and doing my favorite thing on the planet (teaching fitness) followed by my second favorite thing on the planet (feeding myself.) What are you doing?

Dinner rolls. I scratched my head. Chewed on my pen and then frowned some more. You see, I have a love-hate relationship with yeast and it is only recently that we seem to have struck some sort of a harmony. Sigh! I'm scared to say it for the fear of jinxing it! So I was wondering how to make this recipe eggless. I'd heard of using mashed potatoes and then there was another recipe that I saw online which had a long list of ingredients and processes, it was enough to put me off. So I decided to stick to what I know best – good ol' flax seeds. They work as a brilliant substitute for eggs in baked goodies and with bread, in particular, it gives a lovely texture.
I didn't want to make plain dinner rolls so I added some garlic and mixed herbs to the dough and this gave it a wonderful flavour. We had these with butter and some with a coriander-flavoured cheesespread; I liked it with butter but the husband preferred the latter.
|The house was smelling so good when these babies were in the oven
Garlic & herb dinner rolls
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 tsp of active dry yeast
1/4 cup of warm water
1/2 tsp of sugar
2 tsp of flax seeds + 1 tbsp of water ground into a coarse paste
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tbsp of milk
1 1/2 tsp of mixed herbs
Some oil for greasing
Salt to taste
Proof the yeast
Dissolve the sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water and then sprinkle the yeast granules over this. Let it stay for about 3-5 seconds and then stir it in.
Cover the bowl and keep it aside for about 10-12 minutes. When you check the yeast after this it should be all frothy, only then is it ready to use. If this doesn't happen wait a little longer, a maximum of 15-17 minutes. In case it still doesn't work then it means the yeast is no good and you will have to start all over again with another batch of yeast.
The dough
Put the all-purpose flour, flax seed mixture and salt in a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Now add the yeast mixture to this and mix it well. If it is dry add the milk accordingly. Mix well until the dough takes shape. Knead it well for about 5 minutes, place it in a greased bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for about 2 hours, by this time the dough should have risen to double its size. If it hasn't then wait some more time.
You will know the dough is done when you poke it and it doesn't spring back.
Punch down the dough and add the garlic and mixed herbs to this. Knead again for sometime and cover it, let it rest for about 20 minutes now.
After this, divide the dough into equal parts and keep them aside. Now take each portion of the dough and roll it out to form a log and then knot it. If you wish you can also form these into rolls or any other shape that you like.
Place these rolls on a greased baking tray, brush them with milk and sprinkle some sesame seeds over it. Cover this again and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. During this time the dough will rise again.
Bake the rolls in a pre-heated oven for about 160 degrees celsius for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven when they've all turned golden brown. Allow them to cool down on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or as an accompaniment with soup, salads or a baked dish.
* You can use whole wheat flour for this recipe too, but increase the quantity of yeast accordingly.
* If you're okay with it then use an eggwash to brush over the rolls in place of milk. To make the rolls completely vegan, use soy milk in the recipe.
* Instead of sesame seeds you can use pumpkin or watermelon seeds too. If you want a twist with the flavours then add some ajwain instead.
I'm sending this recipe to Yeastspotting and also to the Bake Fest #18 at Nivedhanam which is the brainchild of Vardhini

The Director's Cut by Janice Thompson
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
About the Book:
Author: Janice Thompson
Publisher: Revell
Publication Date: 2012
Series: Backstage Pass - Book 3
Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary, Romance
Rating: 4 ½ out of 5
Tagline: The one thing she cannot direct is her heart
The Story (from the publisher): Tia Morales is used to calling the shots. She's the director of the popular sitcom Stars Collide, and her life on set is calculated and orderly. Well, most of the time. But her life outside the studio is another matter. If only she could get her family to behave as well as her stars do! When she starts butting heads with handsome camera operator Jason Harris, it's enough to send a girl over the edge. Will she ever learn to let go and take life–and love–as it comes?
Review: Tia's story rounds out what has been a "fun" series. Set in the glamorous and glittering, fast-paced world of Hollywood, the books take a unique approach in each storyline – all three angles of filmmaking, acting and writing, are covered. Book one looks at show business from the perspective of actors, followed by the screenplay writer viewpoint, and then directing. Of the three, I think hers was the story I was (subconsciously) most anticipating. Even from the first, meeting Tia and before I knew who the final book was about, I hoped Tia would get a chance to have her story told and indeed Thompson did not disappoint. (Plus it didn't hamper my enthusiasm that I also hoped a certain cameraman who was a source of irritation to Tia would be leading man potential. *wink*) I loved this little book despite the fact that it was the least wholesome of them all.
If there is a downfall in the writing, that would be it. Tia's family is a large one but she seems to be the only one who perhaps has some morals. Conservative readers may not be able to get behind any of Tia's siblings considering one is a flirt who is willing to fall into bed with anyone good-looking while another is apparently a drunk though he is married with children in addition to her father being a repeat unfaithful husband. It is these issues that make reading the story less enjoyable and relaxing than it could have been. Reading Christian fiction should meet (and surpass) certain criteria and in my humble opinion, one of them being that I shouldn't have to wonder at what is around the next corner – whether or not the character will make a choice that will ruin the trust (figuratively speaking) we have placed in them, in turn making us doubt everything about their relationship with Christ.
So much about The Director's Cut is perfectly adorable. I loved meeting DJ's sister (from "Weddings by Bella") who is not only a wonderful young lady with a heart of gold but also a fantastic character with an infectious personality that makes it impossible to dislike her. Her presence just makes you smile as a reader and though she may be a supporting character (hopefully, we will get to know her better someday) in the lives of Tia and Jason, she is unforgettable. As is Brock – the Hollywood heartthrob who tried to steal away Bella from DJ; having brought him into the Stars Collide family, you can guess what his presence means. Then there is Jason and Tia. Gosh! But I loved these two together. Their relationship was the kind of one that I'd have liked to be two-sided as opposed to being limited to Tia's thoughts and emotions. Still, my picture of this couple is a good one and I was probably left with a goofy grin reading the last pages of this little delight. Like its counterparts, I do think the metaphors of life vs. Hollywood got old but for this particular book, I didn't let that dampen my enthusiasm for the story. Great writing plus endearing characters equals a darn good time.
In Summary: A great series closer! If a series has to come to an end, this is how it is done. This one makes the 'cut.'

March officially houses the beginning of spring — even though we Wisconsinites know better. We're well prepared for a few more snows and freezing temps.
Yet, while those gentle showers, warmer temps and colorful flowers might still be a few weeks away, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a renewal all our own. Why not let March be the month you rejuvenate your passion for well-being? Whether this means you'll focus on taking your fitness practices to the next level, supporting or improving your mental health, improving your nutrition, engaging in a hobby or pursuit you care about, March is a great time to turn your attention to yourself — and we want to help you along this journey.
One of things we love best about Nature's Pathways is the opportunities to try new things and adapt them to our needs and desires. Tips found in our expert-written articles might appeal to you right off the bat, or they might inspire something inside of you, motivating you to try something you've never before had the guts or background knowledge to do!
I'm not planning to have a child any time soon, so I used to simply flip past the Healthy Kids articles and pregnancy-focused pieces in the magazine. But I have been feeling quite a bit stressed and lost in my life lately. One article suggested providing help or support to others as a way to rekindle one's spirit, and it suddenly occurred to me: Just because the child-focused articles in Nature's Pathways don't have an immediate impact on my life, doesn't mean that they won't be life-changing for someone else. So I gave a few copies to my friends who are parents or are planning to be.
This simple act of service paid off! It was so rewarding to hear my friends say, "Wow! That's the type of birth experience I want," or to see them try out new ways to connect with their children.
We encourage you to uncover the inspiration and information that will feed your soul, and then pass along your copy of Nature's Pathways to another who could benefit from the expert advice and more found within the following pages. It's time to rekindle your passion!

Re: How to Build a Stronger Heart
As always, you have published another excellent issue of Lens with the picture on the cover and its title, "How to Build a Stronger Heart."
Prior to opening it, I thought that the issue would cover the non-technical, non-pharmaceutical means of achieving heart-health. On pages 25-27 of your excellent article, you seemed to be getting close, but you never quite made it. Vanderbilt remains a high tech place and will mostly likely remain so. read article

Harvey steps down at Texas Southern
HOUSTON -- Tony Harvey has resigned as Texas Southern head men's basketball coach, effective immediately.
A TSU statement Tuesday says Harvey "determined that it was in his personal and professional interest to resign to pursue other goals."
The resignation was first reported by KRIV-TV of Houston.
TSU had a 58-72 record since Harvey's hiring in 2008.
After a 7-25 debut season, Harvey led the Tigers to a 17-16 record in 2009-10 season and a trip to the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament championship final before losing. The next season, TSU went 19-13 and won its first SWAC regular season title in 13 years.
Last season, the team went 15-18 and lost in the SWAC Tournament title game.
The TSU statement noted player grades improved under Harvey, leaving the team penalty-free next season.

Along with the homemade pizza I made the other night I decided to make breadsticks, too. In fact I really considered going all out by making some hot wings, but time did not allow for that and I think it would have been slightly tricky to make homemade chicken wings in the midst of the dough madness that was taking place in my house! Stay tuned for the chicken wings!
The breadsticks were pretty easy to make and turned out very well. These doughy pieces of bread heaven would pair really well with soup [take a look at all of the soups I made last week], salad or just with some homemade sauce. They stand very strong on their own; honestly, I ate more of the breadsticks than I did the pizza originally. They go down very easily, so beware!
Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 4 1/4 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder [plus more if desired]
- pinch of oregano
- Place 1/4 cup warm water in a bowl and sprinkle in the yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes
- Add the flour, butter, sugar, salt and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water, mix until a slightly stick dough forms, about 5 minutes
- Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until very smooth and soft. about 5 minutes
- Roll into a 2 foot long log, cut into 16 1 1/2 inch long pieces
- Knead each piece slightly and shape into a 7 inch long breadstick
- Arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet
- Cover with a cloth; let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes to an hour
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Make the topping then brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter
- you can sprinkle some salt on top of the breadsticks before baking - I did not
- Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining salt with the garlic powder and oregano [simmering on the stove]
- Brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining melted butter mixture when it comes out of the oven

I was glad to receive this e-mail from a regular reader who disagrees with some of what I said recently about abortion and Gordon Brown's position.
Dear Adrian,
As a regular reader of your blog, I am pleased that you are highlighting the issue of abortion. You may also be interested in this video of Peter Saunders.
However, I disagree with you about whether this should be party political issues.
You said — "This is based on the fundamental principle that the people of the UK do not elect parties, they elect individuals to serve them, and on moral questions those representatives are best placed to make those judgment calls."
I would like to see political parties taking a stance [on] abortion like in America. Without this, I don't see much [chance] of dramatically changing the law on abortion.
I think the USA can make a better claim to saying that they elect individuals rather than parties.
In the United States, I think people [can] exercise greater choice over who there (sic) elected representatives are. For example, in the Florida presidential primaries held this year, about 1.89 million people voted for Republican candidates, and about 1.67 million people voted for Democratic candidates—meaning over 3,570,128 people voted in a PRIMARY election [1], out of a population of 18.25 million [2] — around 20% of the total population — the population eligible to vote would be smaller.
In contrast, when David Cameron was elected leader of the Conservative Party, he got just 134,446 votes. [3] Mike Huckabee came 4th in the Florida primary, but got roughly double the number of votes in Florida alone that David Cameron got in total in his leadership election. [1]
In terms of selection for parliamentary seats — primaries for the US Congress can get [a] turnout of around 10% or 20%. [4, 5] In contrast, MPs have been selected as the candidate for safe Conservative seats with just 0.3% Conservative voters voting for them. [6]
In summary, I think the general US population has far greater say in who the candidates of the main parties are. People don't just vote between the two or three people with a chance of winning the election.
I believe that elections in the UK are more based on party (as opposed to individual) than they are in the USA — after all, the leader of the biggest party in the UK is the prime minister, without necessarily having been elected to that office himself (e.g. Gordon Brown now and John Major until 1992).
US primaries mean that voters get a say in the position of the candidates at election. For example, even though the Republican Party campaigns on a pro-life party platform, [7] Republican primary voters had the choice to select a range of presidential candidates, from the strongly pro-life Mike Huckabee to the pro-choice Rudy Giuliani. I believe that Rudy Giuliani's pro-choice views [8] contributed to his failure to win the Republican nomination, and has ensured that the Republican candidate is relatively more pro-life than the Democratic candidate.
If we had a better "primary" system in Britain, then there [would be] a better chance that candidates for a political party would reflect the views of the party grassroots. This means pro-life Conservatives could have a better chance of ensuring that the Conservative candidate was pro-life — as I think happens to some extent with the Republican party in the USA.
Currently, however, we have to vote for the better party, and no party is clearly better on abortion. I want the parties to take a clear stance [on] the issue of abortion so that I can vote for the party that I agree with. The Labour government is introducing damaging legislation (from a pro-life perspective), but consistently seems to argue that this should not lose them votes. In 2005, after Michael Howard expressed personal support for lowering the abortion limit to 20 weeks, Tony Blair appeared to argue that if you are pro-life, then there shouldn't be a way for this to affect your vote — arguing that abortion should not be an election issue. [9]It could be argued that given low turnout at candidate selection election in the UK, there is more chance for a small group of party members to influence a parties (sic) position on a particular issue. However, there are also concerns about how democratic selection of MEP candidates for the Conservative Party is — where the candidates do not necessarily represent the views of party supporters (e.g. on attitudes on the EU).[10]
A vote for the Conservative Party may be marginally better than a vote for Labour on pro-life issues — as some senior Tory MP support more restrictions on abortion.[11] However, a vote for the Conservative Party is not a vote for a pro-life party. There seems to be little chance of any government (including a Conservative one) ending abortion soon.
If the Conservatives (or another party) took a pro-life stance, there would be a clear electoral way to change the law on abortion. Currently I don't know know how I could vote to end abortion unless I happen to be in a constituency with a strongly pro-life candidate.
In contrast, a vote for John McCain in America could realistically result in appointments to the Supreme Court that would result in Roe vs Wade being overturned. [12] This would not end abortion in America, but it would be real progress.

Arranging for the appropriate type of visit will ensure your clients are provided the right kind of support and are better equipped to develop their organization's workplace renewal project. Depending on the client department and the stage of their workplace renewal project, please select the type of visit best suited to your client's needs.

Changes coming to the Employment Insurance program may have unintended negative consequences for businesses, says the Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce.
Amendments to the program being put forward by the federal government mean frequent users of EI will have to take a job that pays at least 70 per cent of their previous wage after six weeks without work, or face being cut off.
While that may lead to more Islanders being employed, said Kathryn Coll, past president of the chamber, it could also lead to low productivity.
"The reality is that employees who don't want to be in a particular job will not necessarily be of great benefit to an employer," said Coll.
"There will be productivity concerns, there will be retention concerns. While it might seem like a good solution, the end result may not be what was envisioned."
Coll said the chamber will be polling its member businesses to determine how they feel the changes will affect them.

A Michigan medical malpractice case recently settled against the United States of America. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of a mother who sought damages for the brain damage and death of her infant son. The lawsuit alleged that during her labor the treating obstetrician went of a Federally funded medical facility in Jackson, Michigan. It alleges that the doctors in the hospital failed to act appropriately to respond to depressed fetal heart rates and did not perform a C-Section in a timely manner.
The lawsuit alleged that as a result the child suffered permanent damage to his brain and lungs. He was kept alive on life support machines, but, ultimately, passed away several months later. The lawsuit settled for $600,000.00 before trial.
