Fun post-apocalyptic scifi :DDriven by fear after a world-wide pandemic killed over 90% of the population, Lizzie and her friends--Zach and Nev--leave their homes and prior lives in Bellingham, WA in a page turning road trip to connect with a family and friends in book one. They plunder homes and stores to meet all their survival needs, trying to outrun a man avenging his brother's death, breeders in the wilderness, and preppers all too happy to kill first and ask questions later in order to preserve what little is left of their own lives. In book two, the characters find themselves in Provo, UT with the creature comforts they craved and the people they drove halfway across the nation to seek. But, still, something is off. Something is not right. With the lure of freedom, jobs, food, their overall needs taken care of, especially women of child-bearing age, it is easy to get comfortable. Unless you're Lizzie Goodin-Guerrero aka Crazy Lizzie. Never have the walls of her life caved in more than they do in Provo. Trying to escape this power-hungry town, the sense of normalcy it tries to provides, and perhaps even herself, she pulls her friends and father into one bad situation after another. Where the first book focused on fight-and-flight type responses to the dawning of an apocalypse, the second book slows down to explore the many ins-and-outs of rebuilding ones personal life, relationships, and restructuring communities. Choices are weighted far more than they were before. Every moment matters. Every decision made with a life-or-death edge. Even decisions as hopeful as whom should one love? Fun post-apocalyptic scifi :D I look forward to more Robert L. Slater!by Forest Maiden on September 17, 2015

I've just verified this behavior on my EPIA VDR in the living room (which is connected to a 50 Hz TV set) by taking a photo. The photo shows that the white lines are quite thick -- there is no gap between them. And the black area is totally black, i. e. the white area from the previous field has vanished already. > After like half a second the picture gets static, and the top half is > solid black, while the bottom half is solid white. I had a look into the FF card's driver implementation. The driver simply repeats the still image data for some time. And from your report I guess, that the FF card automatically displays two fields for each frame it receives. When the driver stops sending frames, the FF card displays the last field forever. I also had a look into the hardware specification. It seems to me that the chip can be switched to a mode where it toggles between the fields automatically. But my coarse understanding of the driver tells me, that the driver doesn't make use of it. > I never see anything like the field_test.png you posted (with alternating > black and white lines). So although xine displays the image on a screen of resolution 720x576 in both cases, it looks like the TV is showing 50 fields of resolution 720x288 while the PC monitor (on my desktop) shows 85 frames of resolution 720x576. Although the TV should weave the two fields, this won't result in a frame of resolution 720x576, as the lines are too thick and the previous field vanished already, so this seems to be the reason why horizontal lines of thickness 1 flicker. Looks like the only way out of this is to scale the image to 720x288, double the lines and encode it as 720x576. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

Earlier this year, Uriah Duffy took part in a concert where each band was asked to take a song from an historic album and put their own spin on one of the tracks.
The album of choice was Black Sabbath's Paranoid.
We'll let Uriah explain in his own words:
"This was so cool & every act was super unique, putting their own spin on each song. Nothing seemed forced this night- just creative. There's been tons of 'tribute' type projects out there, usually with the bands doing lackluster copies of the originals. Apparently, that's what the masses want- but not on this night.
"The first thing I did was research and see what other bands have previously covered 'Paranoid'. Metallica, Green Day, Mötley Crüe… They all have done it- nearly verbatim. So my approach was simple: Do something that would most likely make a hardcore Sabbath head cringe, but would make Sabbath themselves proud. So that's what I did here, fusing the classic riffs and words of the tune, with…. wait for it… DUBSTEP! Hah! Dig in and enjoy. I had a blast both producing the track and working in the studio with some amazing musician friends.
"As for this video- go easy on me! I had to piece it together from 2 vid sources I found on the 'net, as well as try my best to sync up the live audio, recorded audio and electronic track- a digital nightmare on all fronts. And it's my first multicam edit! Yeah- I KNOW some of the licks don't sync up. Whatevs. Enjoy!"
Uriah is joined on stage by Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen, The Memorials vocalist Viveca Hawkins and The Venting Machine and Blackgates guitarist Jeremy Von Epp.
There's even a digital album available on Bandcamp.

Southern Baptist Convention Leader Ken Weathersby Addresses MC August Graduation
A longtime Southern Baptist Convention leader, Ken Weathersby will deliver the keynote speech at Mississippi College's summer commencement on August 3.
The MC graduation ceremony begins that Saturday at 10 a.m. at the A.W. Wood Coliseum on the Clinton campus. More than 225 students are expected to receive diplomas.
A 1985 Mississippi College graduate, Weathersby was named vice president for convention advancement with the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee. He's working to increase ethnic participation within the SBC and assist young ministers and pastors at small churches.
The Jackson, Mississippi native becomes the first African-American to hold the executive committee's vice presidential post. His new assignment began in April.
The MC alumnus recently served as an ambassador for ethnic and church relations with the North American Mission Board. In addition, Dr. Weathersby is a member of the Mississippi College Board of Trustees.
In 1999, Weathersby was named the first African-American pastor to serve as a full-time associate professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
He earned a master's in divinity at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and a doctor of ministry at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson. He's been associated with Southern Baptist Convention entities for more than two decades. The SBC works with 42 state conventions and 1,174 local associations and is tied to groups in 153 nations around the globe.
Weathersby and his wife, Belva Kennedy, are the parents of two children. Their daughter, Kenyeta, is a South Carolina State University student. Their son, Breon, attends Morehouse College in Atlanta.

I am a doctoral candidate in the Sociology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am also a student affiliate at the California Center for Population Research.
I examine social inequality through the lens of the family. My research uses statistical and demographic methods to study how families may both reinforce and diminish social and economic inequalities for individuals throughout life, contributing to broader inequality at the population-level. My work focuses on three areas: 1. inequality in intergenerational support across the life course, 2. racial disparities in the family safety net, and 3. immigrant kin networks.
My empirical work relies on several premier longitudinal and population-representative datasets of kinship and households, including but not limited to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the Health and Retirement Study, the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (1979 and 1997), the Survey of Income and Program Participation, and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health.
As a second-generation Korean American of working-class immigrants, I am a proud graduate of the New York City public school system. Prior to my training at UCLA, I led and trained data science teams in the financial and technology sectors to understand consumers' offline and online behaviors.

As always PS CS4... and about 5h.
I love the details, contrast, colours, and everything. It's such a beautiful work!
Nice use of textures, good composition and lighting and the way you did the plantlife looks splendid throughout most of the picture. I'm not a fan of the rough style and the squiggly lines in certain areas (for example what's seen through the gate and the left side of the wall). Also the character seems to be half-transparent with the bottom shining through her. Apart from these details that in my opinion could've been worked out a bit more it is quite a nice painting though.
i always love work like this

Excellent lighting and atmosphere! Great texture too!

Panasonic has announced a more "value" edition of its Toughpad FZ-M1 Windows 8.1 tablet for businesses and professionals that require the ruggedness, but for less of an outlay.
The 7-inch tablet has a dual-core Intel Celeron N2807 processor rather than the Core i5 vPro in the fully fledged version. However, the new chipset offers long battery life and is suited to mobile devices.
It also comes with 2GB of RAM (4GB optional) and a 128GB solid state drive. The tablet is fanless and weighs 540g. Even with the IP65 protection, it is 18mm thin. And the LCD screen has a resolution of 1280 x 800.
READ: Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1 brings a rugged exterior to the 7-inch tablet arena
Other configurable options include 4G mobile broadband, GPS and vehicle pass through antenna. A business expansion module can add True Serial, LAN, NFC, a smartcard reader, 1D/2D barcode reader, UHF RFID and/or battery hot swap capabilities. An 8-megapixel rear camera can also be added - there's a 2-megapixel front-facing webcam built-in.
It already includes a full size USB 3.0 port, microSD card slot, headset and microSIM slot. Battery life is claimed to last up to eight hours.
The Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1 Value will be available from June for £739.

Sometime in the middle of this month, we did talk about the upcoming Geeksphone Peak+ handset that will run on the Firefox mobile operating system. Well, this particular smartphone did raise its fair share of eyebrows, especially when one considers how difficult it is to create a whole new market for yourself with most folks rooting for either Android (no pun intended) or iOS as the dominant mobile operating system of choice. After all, it is not as though folks are lining up to purchase devices which are powered by Firefox OS.
The Geeksphone Peak+ would see the amount of RAM inside doubled, touching the 1GB mark, while the exterior materials chosen to construct this handset is supposedly easy on your fingers. Other hardware specifications include a Snapdragon 8225 S4 Play chipset (dual-core Cortex-A5 at 1.2GHz, Adreno 203 GPU), a 4.3″ IPS display at (540 x 960) resolution, 4GB of internal memory which can be augmented using a microSD memory card slot, and a 1,800mAh battery.
The asking price for the Geeksphone Peak+? We are looking at a promo price of €150 ($200) here, where it is now available for pre-order.

Hi Jane,ReplyDelete
Sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out. The website is back up and running now so you should be able to download the Pdf.
Long and mustard-coloured sounds wonderful. Personally I find velvet slightly tricky to use, especially when cutting diagonally across it, as the tulip skirt requires. If you are not afraid of velvet, then I say "go for it!" It would help to tack (i.e. very rough hand sew) all your seams together before you machine sew, as this will help stop the velvet moving.
Enjoy using the instructions Jane : )
Best wishes-

Accra, Aug 28 (IANS) Ghana spent a total of 3.6 million Ghana cedis ($1.8 million) on the funeral of former president John Evans Atta Mills, who died late July and was buried earlier this month, a member of the national funeral committee said here.
Committee spokesman Kofi Totobi Quakyi Monday said that out of the total amount, donations from corporate institutions and individuals totaled 2.2 million cedis (about $1.1 million), with government taking care of the other 1.4 million cedis (about $700,000).
According to him, donations as low as 200 cedis (about 100 dollars) were made to the funeral planning committee, reported Xinhua.
"We bought the casket at the cost of 4,660 cedis ($2,330) against the earlier speculated figure of $70,000," Quakyi told a press conference to wind down activities of the funeral committee.
The spokesman announced that the accounts would be subjected to audit by the Auditor General as required by the country's financial regulations.
The spokesman reiterated that there was no budget set aside for the funeral since the 2012 budget did not anticipate such a calamity when it was being drawn.
Mills died suddenly July 24 and was buried earlier this month after a three-day state funeral.

Working With Companies
What Are Nature's Benefits and How Do We Value Them?
A coral reef aswarm with ocean life. A honeybee busy over a flower. A forest standing silent guard over a river. These everyday sights of nature bring us joy, wonder, and comfort.
But can we quantify the benefits nature gives us — not just aesthetic, but tangible? In a world with so much poverty and hunger, how can we justify paying so much attention to conservation and the environment?
The answer is simple: Human well-being depends on the benefits that nature provides for free, everyday and everywhere. Humans depend on ecosystems such as forests and coral reefs for clean water, fertile soils, food, fuel, storm protection, minerals and flood control.
The Nature Conservancy: A Leader in Thought and Implementation for Nature's Benefits
But measuring just how much nature's benefits are worth to a community or the world isn't easy—and often, the tremendous importance and economic value of these benefits are appreciated only upon their loss.
That's why The Nature Conservancy is a global thought leader in the effort to quantify nature's benefits. And the Conservancy also sets the pace in incorporating those values into on-the-ground conservation projects that help people and biodiversity.
Measurement: The Conservancy, WWF and Stanford University are founding partners of The Natural Capital Project, which helps governments and industry incorporate the value of nature's benefits into their development and conservation decisions. The Natural Capital Project:
- Provides tools (such as sophisticated mapping) that help decision-makers protect biodiversity and secure full benefits from ecosystems;
- Catalyzes new ecological science that better links land-use decisions to how those decisions will effect the delivery of nature's benefits; and
- Develops new financial, market and policy instruments that fund the protection of those benefits in a fair and credible manner.
Implementation: The Conservancy routinely builds consideration of nature's benefits to human beings into its work — and works with governments, corporations and other groups to help them do the same. Examples include:
- We have helped establish more than a dozen water funds in South America — into which urban water producers pay for rural watershed conservation, thus securing stable supplies of drinking water for nearly 40 million people on the continent.
- We work in both the Caribbean and the Pacific to help establish scores of marine protected areas where fishing-dependent communities plan sustainable harvesting practices that also protect the coral reefs in which fish and other ocean life thrive.
- In the Farming for Wildlife project, the Conservancy is advising Washington state farmers on how to rotate crops with wetlands to improve habitats for wildlife.
- Through our Sustainable Rivers Project, the Conservancy and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers explore new ways to strike a balance in how people use and protect the many benefits of rivers, from electricity to drinking water to recreation.
- The Nature Conservancy's Working Woodlands is a model forest conservation program integrating private land protection, certified forest management, and ecosystem services markets for the restoration and management of high quality ecological and economic values to priority forest landscapes.
Knowing the value of what nature gives us — and, through that knowledge, helping others work more sustainably — is at the forefront of biodiversity conservation work today and critical to the Conservancy's vision for a healthy and prosperous planet.

The gang that couldn't shoot straight can't even get a simple story straight as they try to weakly cover up the truth. What a pathetic bunch of mealy-mouthed twits.
The State Department flip-flopped yesterday and conceded that Secretary of State John Kerry had been on his 76-foot yacht in Nantucket on Wednesday, contradicting an earlier official denial.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki had denounced a tweet by CBS News' Mosheh Oinounou on Wednesday that read: "A @CBSThisMorning producer just spotted Secretary of State Kerry on yacht in the Nantucket Boat Basin. No response when she shouted, 'Morsi!' "
The reference was to ex-President Mohamed Morsi, who fell victim to a coup that same day in an event that prompted an emergency meeting of President Obama's top security advisers. Kerry participated by phone.
Psaki initially charged that the tweet was "completely inaccurate" and went on to say that Kerry was hard at work and in "nonstop" communication with foreign leaders, after wrapping up a 10-day trip to the Middle East.
But everything changed after The Boston Herald published photos of Kerry yesterday aboard a sea kayak, holding a small backpack as he prepared to board a powerboat.
Oops. When smug arrogance is trumped by stone-cold facts. Hey, never mind our lame denials! Meanwhile, some believe this is another troubling sign of Kerry's incompetence.
Kerry's vacation kerfuffle is being seen as the latest stumble in what has already been a rocky five months for the nation's top diplomat.
"Kerry is having a pretty tumultuous tenure at the State Department," Tom Whalen of Boston University said. "It seems everything he touches is not turning out well."
Said Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution: "I'm not sure he's really fully established himself as the go-to guy on foreign policy in the public's eye here in the United States. I would think he'd want to define his leadership on some of the big crises of the day. Let him have his Fourth of July weekend, but recognize that this is an issue — Egypt — where he's probably got to step up his game."
Pretty tough to step up your game when you haven't got one.

Lorde: 98.7 Penthouse Party Pad
Lorde performs at 98.7 FM's Penthouse Party Pad at the Historic Hollywood Tower on Wednesday afternoon (September 25) in Hollywood.
Just the night before, the 16-year-old New Zealander singer recently spoke with USA Today about her new album, which debuts next week.
"The (new) record is quite different from the EP, musically, in that I just have kind of grown up a bit since I wrote the EP. I'm better at making beats and writing songs and stuff," she shared. "The material feels more mature. I think it's way better than the EP."
Lorde added about the 10 tracks, "[Pure Heroine is] "not a super-long record. I hate it when albums drag."

As of 2015, General Electric has had nine stock splits in its history. The first of these was in 1926, while the ninth one took place in 2000, according to the company website.Continue Reading
The first of General Electric's nine stock splits was a 4-for-1 split, as stated by the company's investor relations department. This corporate action in 1926 was followed in 1930 by another 4-for-1 split. That meant that every one share that a stockholder owned was replaced by four new ones.
If the price of the stock had, for example, been originally priced at $100, it would have been adjusted so that the shareholder now had four shares, each valued at $25 a share. The market value of the shareholder's position would remain unchanged.
In 1954, the General Electric stock undertook a 3-for-1 split, notes the GE website. The next five stock splits, in 1971, 1983, 1987, 1994 and 1997, were all 2-for-1 splits. The share price adjustment in 2000 was once again a 3-for-1 split.
There is no set rule dictating when the company chooses to split the stock, according to GE.com. However, the last few times a split took place, the share price was trading over $100 per share when the board made its recommendation to shareholders that they vote to split the stock.Learn more about Investing

Quick Reference
(fl. 1319–27).
Master-mason. He rebuilt the outer curtain-wall at the Tower of London beside the Traitors' Gate (1324–5), and about the same time he was engaged on work at the lower part of St Stephen's Chapel, Palace of Westminster, where he probably designed the vaults and window-tracery (completed 1327). His masterpiece is the tomb of Aymer de Valance (d. 1323) in Westminster Abbey.

Had some real good time yesterday after sooooooo long;
well, right from Sunday night weather was too good, and on reaching office Monday found that my dear boss will come to work in second half, so suddenly an absolutely brilliant idea struck in my mind, and I left office at 2 ;-)
Reached home early, watched Paheli 5:25 ka show, enjoyed the movie. (Paheli is good movie, absolute visual treat, only SRK can do justice to such movies, can't imagine anyone else portraying his characters. Rani is predictable but a must watch for SRK fans. I must say it was a difficult film to make, difficult emotions to portray but still Amol Palekar n team managed well, Aditi Gowatrikar was absolute smashing in her short very short appearance. )
After movie headed straight to Bercos (though my head is not good terms with Chinese stuff specially shrimps), had absolute delicious food. Then purchased two VCDs, Hazaraaon Khwaahishey Aisi and Cast Away.
Reached home at 10, then watched HKA, HKA is a restless and also a good movie, it is set in political mayhem of late 60s and 70s, I won't say that it is a classic, this movie caters to a very very slim segment of audience , I'm afraid I do not belong to that.
In short, had a fabulous Monday :-)
It rained almost through out night and also raining with varying pace since morning, and in my 42 km drive from home to work, I witnessed 3 accidents, and in each case two-wheeler rider suffered :-( , my opinion Govt MUST start a unit for making good quality helmets and makes a law that one has to wear Govt-made helmets and one has to buy two Govt-made helmets at the time of purchasing a two-wheeler.
And there should be a complete ban on poor quality helmets.
Drive cautiously!!
"Kajra rey kajra rey..tere kaare kaare naina......",every now n then this song is aired on FMs......and I'm sure in coming time this song will become a rage among ......50-50's. ;-)

Tackle a front porch
Aren't front porches wonderful? We live in an 1800's house and one of my favorite places is the front porch. It isn't my favorite when it is a mess though. So today we are tackling that problem. Here is a picture of our front porch, it can be really lovely.
The first step is to remove everything from the porch. In the South it isn't a porch if it doesn't have porch rockers.
Then you get the pressure washer and go to town! Be sure to wash everything washable, including the siding on the front of the house. Then clean the windows, the porch light, and sweep all the water off.
Then find yourself some pretty wildflowers and put them in a vase.
Next have yourself a seat, a cup of ice tea, and enjoy the view!
Written by Penny Raine. Penny can be found blogging daily at http://pennyraine.com/blog where she blogs about farm life and her big family. She also publishes a monthy E-zine called Front Porch Fellowship. You can get a free subscription in her bookstore at PennyRaine.com/bookstore
What about you? Tell me what you're up to… add your link to the tackle in the Mr. Linky below!
Each week on Tuesday, we are posting before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that we tackled this week.
Find out more about Tackle It Tuesday here.
The project can be little or big – whatever you want.
Basically, Tackle It Tuesday is about giving ourselves incentive, deadlines and satisfaction in getting our household tasks done.

The internet just got freaked out by this astronaut's picture of a 'UFO'
- Published
Let's face it, we all want aliens to exist.
Even if it turns out that they're far more advanced than us and decide to kill us all to demonstrate their superiority, that's a chance we're willing to take, just in case they turn out to be awesome little green men who've come to spread love, peace and harmony from a far-flung corner of the universe.
And, as such, there's a whole load of people out there desperately searching for clues of the existence of extraterrestrial life.
They recently thought they'd hit the jackpot with this tweet from US astronaut Scott Kelly, who often sends out incredible shots from the International Space Station. However, this one, taken over India, is a photo with a difference - there's a bizarre glowing metallic shape in the top right hand corner.
Day 233. Once upon a #star over Southern India. #GoodNight from @space_station! #YearInSpace pic.twitter.com/ipT4AsDDir— Scott Kelly (@StationCDRKelly) November 15, 2015
Unsurprisingly, people got very excited.
@StationCDRKelly @Space_Station What is that in the TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER?!— Andrew Higgs (@Macheath1) November 17, 2015
Scott Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com went further, writing on his blog: "When an astronaut tweets a photo of a UFO, you can bet people notice it... Scott Kelly likes to send out photos of the view from the windows of the space station… and they look cool. This one however has a cigar shaped glowing UFO with a metallic body in it. The UFO is about 25 meters long and 150-200 meters away. It looks like Scott was trying to hint at the existence of aliens. Message received Scott, and thanks."
However, it wasn't exactly proof, as explained by several seasoned space watchers, including Olivia D'Souza.
The white bright part at the upper right corner of the image is ISS HDEV exterior equipment @PC0101 @StationCDRKelly pic.twitter.com/qXoyHsYQXa— Olivia D'Souza (@Olivia_Dsouza) November 18, 2015
Ah well - the search for that proof will have to go on a little longer. Why won't they just make it really obvious? Come on guys, let's be friends.

The Lonsdale Barn Burner fight gloves are a great choice for fighters looking for a combination of long lasting durability and maximum hand protection. These premium quality fight gloves are also suitable for sparring and offer increased comfort and unmatched shock absorption thanks to L-core technology. They feel like a natural extension of the hand and have a split thumb design with ventilation to keep you cool and comfortable when fighting. Manufactured from top grade leather, the gloves feature a Lonsdale lion embossment on the wrist and come in a black/white colour.
The Boxing Mad Boxing Leather Bag Mitt is a quality Cowhide pro bag mitt with a dense, hand moulded, multi-layer foam padding designed for optimum hand protection. This high quality mitt also features a Velcro wrap wrist closure for better wrist support.
Anyone who has seen or practised boxing will know that boxing gloves are an essential piece of kit. But what purpose do they serve, why do you need them, what are the different types and what do the weights mean? Read on to find out more and understand which pair will best suit your boxing needs.
Boxing gloves are designed to protect the fighter's hands. Without protective gloves on you're much more likely to break knuckles, fracture finger bones and suffer other hand and wrist injuries as you make contact with the opponent's head and body. As a result, your practice sessions and you're your career as a boxer would be cut rather short. Boxing gloves also lessen facial injuries such as cuts and bruises around the eyes.
The protection comes from padding inside the gloves. The different types and weights of gloves provide varying amounts of cushioning for hands.
Different gloves serve different purposes, with the most common kinds being bag gloves or bag mitts, sparring gloves, training gloves, and competition or contest gloves.
Bag mitts – as the name suggests, these are for practising on punch bags and are usually lighter but with some protection for hands and wrists.
Sparring gloves – designed for sparring sessions, they boast thicker cushioning to help protect hands and faces during time in the practice ring. They tend, therefore, to be heavier.
Training gloves – these are multi-purpose and suit sparring, punch bag practice and other boxing training. They are a good choice if you're looking for a general pair of gloves for varied training activities.
Competition or contest gloves – less thick and with thinner padding compared to sparring gloves, which you'll use only in the ring.
The weight of gloves is directly linked to how much cushioning is in the glove. For example, a glove that weighs 14oz will have less padding than one of the same model that is 18oz.
Kids will wear 8oz or less.
8oz is generally the weight for competition gloves
10-12oz gloves will suit adults with small hands or those looking for a lighter option to practise technique and speed.
14oz are a popular weight which will protect hands throughout most training activities.
16oz is the standard and most common weight for sparring sessions, although you could wear lighter or heavier gloves.
18oz and above are heavy gloves most suited to the strongest and heaviest-hitting boxers when sparring each other.
Boxing gloves will be made from leather or synthetic leather. Another important aspect is choosing a Velcro fastening or lace-up style. With both of these, neither is better than the other. Gloves in leather will usually cost more than a similar synthetic leather version but may be more durable. It depends on your needs.
You should get a good, comfortable but tight fit from both Velcro and lace-up boxing gloves. If you choose lace-up gloves you'll have to ask your coach or sparring partner to help tying them! Again, it's down to your preference.
You will probably also want hand wraps to go under your gloves, which you can find in our Boxing Accessories section.
Here at Sweatband.com we sell a wide range of gloves in each category, stocking high-quality products at attractive prices with fast and free delivery on orders over £15.

My family drove up from Bloomington, Indiana to visit me at my conference center in Cincinnati, Ohio and to spend some quality time together.
Today we visited the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have visited several museums in the past, but this one really impacted me. The scope of coverage; the quality of the exhibits; and the use of technology, are some of the features of this museum that made the overall experience great!
Although we spent almost three hours in this museum, we are certain that we will return!

Court upholds FCC program access rules
Comcast, Cablevision sharply disagree with decisionNEW YORK -- An appeals court on Friday dealt a blow to big cable operators, such as Comcast Corp. and Cablevision Systems, which have been hoping to keep cable networks they own, including regional sports channels, exclusive to them.
In a 2-to-1 decision, the court upheld current FCC program access rules that require cable firms to make such programming available to their satellite TV and telecom competitors. The FCC created the rule in 1992, extended it in 2002, and again extended it in 2007 through late 2012.
Comcast and Cablevision had challenged the rule, citing free speech rights and calling the decision arbitrary.
The court on Friday suggested that the FCC could eventually decide that the rule is no longer timely.
"We're disappointed that the court has preserved the current unfairness that allows DirecTV to have exclusives for NFL Sunday Ticket and NASCAR Hot Pass, while restricting the exclusives that cable operators may have, but it is welcome that the court -- majority and minority alike -- recognize that the marketplace of today is vastly more competitive than in 1992 and that rules and regulations must keep pace with marketplace changes," Comcast said in a statement.
The program access rules have played a recurring role in the Congressional hearings on the Comcast-NBC Universal deal. Comcast management reiterated previous promises on Friday, saying it is "prepared to discuss with the FCC having (the rules) continue to apply to Comcast as part of the NBCU transaction if appropriate."
Cablevision had particularly sharp words in reaction to Friday's court ruling. "Like the must-carry and retransmission consent regime that allowed ABC to blackout the Oscars for 3 million New York households this week, the program access rules are based on an outdated and obsolete view of the competitive landscape," it said. "In today's highly competitive video marketplace these rules do nothing but tilt the playing field in favor of phone companies and broadcasters to the detriment of fair competition and consumers."
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said he was "pleased that the D.C. Circuit court has confirmed the Commission's authority to prevent vertically integrated cable companies from denying critical television programming to their competitors and consumers."
He said the program access rules have played "a vital role in making diverse and attractive video programming available to cable and satellite TV viewers."

AL "As President of my school's PTO, I feel it is my job to find ways to keep the members positive and motivated. When I heard the song "Dreams" I realized that this message was what I had been trying to convey to my group. I played the song for my officers and amid tears and nodding heads we all agreed that this was to be our theme song. Whenever we became discouraged, or doubtful, we would listen to it and realize that the only limitations were the ones we put on ourselves. This song led us to accomplish remarkable and seemingly impossible goals. Please know that there is a small, rural town in Alabama that will never be the same as a result of what you do."
TN "Our 2 year-old son loves to watch The Animal Band's DVD and listen to the CD. A few months ago in April when he turned 2, we started getting concerned because he didn't talk nearly as much as other kids his age. We had his speech, hearing, and overall development evaluated and discovered that he had a moderate hearing loss due to fluid in his ears. This put him about 6 months behind in his expressive speech. He received tubes in his ears to correct the problem, and now he can hear just fine but his speech has not taken off like we had hoped. My brother-in-law gave us the Animal Band CD and DVD it has affected our family in a marvelous way. He's now singing a lot of the words with the songs and imitating what he sees on the DVD. It has made us so happy just to see both of our boys have so much fun and be so enthusiastic about the music, but it is REALLY awesome to see him making so much more effort to talk (and sing)! Thanks for the awesome music, positive message, and fun DVD! We really appreciate you!"
NY "I've used your music in my classroom for twelve years and it has become an integral part of the curriculum. When I came back from summer break this year, my cassette tape was missing out of the case and I'm lost without it. I am ordering all of the CDs because your music is my motivation."
TX "I am the nurse for an eight-year old boy that is confined to a wheelchair due to a genetic disease that is a combination of MS and MD. The Animal Band's music and DVD has totally captivated him. He watches it repeatedly all day long and has a hundred questions about the band." It's as if the band is performing just for him right here in the living room. Thank you so much for the amazing music and videos. You have no idea just what you mean to a little boy out here in West Texas."
MI "I am a Junior in high school and involved in dance and music. One of the highlights of my life was to be on stage with The Animal Band. It has changed my perspective on life. You have re-inspired me with your music and willingness to share your talents and experience. Now I try much harder to be better.
FL "The Animal Band can accomplish more with a two-minute melody than many one hour classroom lessons.
GA "I am a 71 year old grandmother and a few months ago lost my husband of 52 years. We enjoyed many wonderful times together and it has been a very difficult time for me to adjust. I recently attended an event and heard Jim Moore sing his song "Dreams". After hearing that song, I realized that I need a new dream. The song is heard regularly, loud and clear throughout my home. Your song has touched me and given me hope for more dreams."
Australia "I downloaded your song Unicorn from ITunes and must say the lyrics and melody are hauntingly beautiful. I've never heard anyone describe growing older in such a marvelous way. I listen to it daily."
Columbia South America "I use your musical toys at our school to help teach my students English. We have now learned the words to your song I Like Reading a Book just by listening to the singing owl. The music is so lively it seems to have magical powers when the children sing the song. You have many friends in South America."
Germany "The Animal Band is still among the top to listen to on a long stretch of the Autobahn."
Japan "We hear your songs constantly on Armed Forces Television and want to tell you how much our family loves your exciting music. Please come to Japan"
Ontario Canada "Your song, "I Like Reading a Book" has become a very important part of our school day. Thank you for writing such a wonderful song about reading."
UK "I discovered your amazing music on the Internet and it always uplifts my spirit. Please add me to your list of fans in the UK."

Remember my review of Crispy Green freeze-dried cantaloupe? The company had sent us a bunch of samples of its freeze-dried fruit snacks saying they're for our "tasting enjoyment and review just in time for the 'back-to-school season.'" It was also the company's effort to showcase the newest addition to its "award-winning" line of snacks.
I gave the first 15 of you to comment a chance to taste the Crispy Green freeze-dried fruit line for yourselves. Some of you have already received and test-tasted yours. Here are the early reviews:
I got the freeze dried Asian pears yesterday. I actually really liked them but I've always liked freeze dried fruit. The only thing I have to compare them to is the freeze dried fruit mixture that my father had in his MRE packs. Those were a solid brick of fruit and rather hard. These were softer and in pieces, the flavor was wasn't very strong but I would totally buy them if I saw them somewhere.
— Submitted via email by C
I received the pineapple, thank you!!!! I enjoy dried pineapple very much, it's considered a treat for me. This freeze dried variety though–blech!! In it's crisp state, not too bad, but the moment it starts to "reconstitute" in the mouth, ewwww. It becomes hard, impossible to chew. And due to normal handling, the package contained a LOT of crumbs-these crisps are fragile — how the heck does one eat those crumbs?? with a spoon? pour from package directly into mouth? I couldn't see myself doing either, so "poof" — out it went into the garbage can. Thanks for allowing me to try them though — it was fun!
— Comment by Pat
So, I received the apple. Thank you for sending it to me to try. I kind of liked it but I don't think I would purchase it. The bag, when opened had an off-putting smell of chemicals. The texture was fine, and the flavor was ok, but to me it tasted like a mix between an apple and potato chip which is very weird.
My son wouldn't eat more than 1 and he'll eat almost anything (2 year old).
— Comment by MM
The Crispy Green website the closest place you can buy the products is a natural food store in Kingston, but you can also order online. And several of you have said they're available at Fresh Market in Latham. The freeze-dried snack packs retail for $1.49 or $7.99 for six single-serving bags.

If you are planning a long trip, taking the right clothes with you is extremely important. You want to be comfortable, but definitely do not want to be lugging around things that you do not really need. The globetrotter packing tips below will help you to do exactly that.
Dressing for the journey
The most difficult part of any trip is the journey. If you are going to be on the road, or in the air, for a prolonged length of time comfort has to be your primary consideration. Being comfortable is what makes the journey bearable, even enjoyable.
It is best to dress in flexible clothes, and wear layers rather than wear bulky items. Travelling in men's joggers is far more comfortable than wearing stiff tight jeans that will cut into you if you have to sit for a prolonged period.
Tops and jackets
Wearing a t-shirt, with a light shirt and a wind and waterproof jacket is usually enough to keep you warm and dry. However, if you have a tendency to feel the cold wear a light jumper too, or buy a jacket that has a lining that can be zipped in and out. That way you can wear it separately should you need to.
The jacket you choose should have enough pockets to allow you to keep the essentials to hand. You need to be able to get to your passport and travel documents without having to go through your hand luggage.
It is important to have somewhere safe and secure to store your phone and money. Of course, you can keep these items in a bag, but if they are in your coat, you can feel them, so know they exactly where they are. Also, a coat is less likely to be snatched by a thief, or left somewhere by mistake. If you have the space, keep a charger, or power pack, in your coat pocket too. That way if you experience delays you can potentially keep your phone charged using a socket in a restaurant or airport lounge.
The item many people get wrong is footwear. Shoes and boots take up a lot of space, and are often heavy too, so you need to minimise what you take. The best approach is to have one pair of sturdy covered in shoes or boots to wear while travelling or walking around. Then buy a pair of light sandals or flip flops for when you are in the room, on the beach or just popping out for a drink.
It is also important to take a couple of pairs of socks. Even if you are travelling somewhere hot, they can come in handy. They make a good alternative to slippers, and will save the day should it turn out that your shoes or boots were not as well worn in as you thought, and are rubbing.
As you can see, you need surprisingly little. Besides which, in most places, you can easily buy what you need, and replace the essentials as you go.
There is a good lightweight travel checklist available on this page. It tells you everything you will need to take with you for any trip, and explains how to make it all fit into hand luggage.

NORWICH - After members of the Chenango County Health and Human Services Committee were brought up to speed yesterday about financing procedures initiated for the West Park Office Project, several lamented being left out of previous governmental discussions and decisions.
The Chenango County Department of Social Services falls under the direction of the committee. When DSS Commissioner Bette Osborne presented a $12,000 contract proposal for a certified public accountants services, questions flared.
The contractor, Jack Venesky of Cicero, has worked on behalf of DSS, the county treasurers office and other county departments for about four years. His role has been to complete space analysis and cost allocation claims possible under federal guidelines, Deputy County Treasurer Ardean Young said. For the estimated $3.5 office project, the contractors role is to audit future occupancy and possible depreciation claims on behalf of the county.
We are not the sole voice on making a decision on a major project that we arent in charge of, said Chairman Jeffrey B. Blanchard. This committee ought to be up to date on all activities since DSS is going to occupy that building 100 percent.

These are pictures of the island of Terschelling. It's relatively close to where I live, but it feels like a totally different place. I've lived and worked on the island for about a year and somehow the island grabbed me. It's in my blood. I love Terschelling.

Begonias Provide A Shade Alternative
If you've felt the impact of impatiens downy mildew, it's time to capture maximum share of the increased demand for plants that fulfill shade applications. It's time to consider begonias.
Because they offer both flower and foliage appeal, expanding your begonia crop can help you meet your customers' multiple garden needs. From colorful landscape fill to premium shade hanging baskets and interior houseplants, there's a begonia variety for everyone.
Basket begonia sales are intensifying in the garden center, and for good reason — there's exciting new breeding coming to market, and the baskets look amazing in the store. Million Kisses is bred to be the most vigorous Begonia boliviensis on the market, with large-size, season-long blooms and the added bonus of low-maintenance and care. The entire series — 'Elegance,' 'Amour,' 'Devotion' and new 'Honeymoon' — makes a brilliant display in lush hanging baskets and brings appealing garden color for shade applications.
In the greenhouse, Million Kisses is a breeze to grow. This begonia flowers 10 to 14 days faster than other boliviensis on the market, which allows you to start the crop later and reduce bench time. The following culture tips will help you create stunning containers for retail and fulfill the shade-alternative needs of home gardeners.
Million Kisses begonia prefers a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8 to 6.2 as the optimum range. Keep night temperatures at 55°F to 60°F and day temperatures at 65°F to 75°F. The crop can be finished cooler in its final weeks of production, maintaining temperatures above 55°F.
Grow Million Kisses under moderate light levels — 3,000 to 4,000 foot candles is the ideal range. Plants may scorch under high light and high temperatures. Longer days promote flowering, so schedule crops to finish under long days (more than 13 hours). Crops produced under short days (less than 12 hours) will result in small plants and poor flowering.
The media should be allowed to dry between waterings. Water stress can be used for growth control; however, periods of sustained wilting should be avoided. Excess water will result in unwanted stretch and disease.
Use a constant liquid feed program of 200 to 300 ppm. Regular leaching with clear water will help to reduce buildup of excess salts in media.
Million Kisses begonia should be pinched seven to 14 days after transplant to encourage basal branching. Additional pinching can be done as needed. A 4-inch crop can be produced without a pinch in finished production, provided it received a pinch in propagation or at transplant.
Growth Control
Maintain the recommended temperatures and light levels to avoid stretch. Excessive moisture in media will encourage unwanted stretch. Water management is an excellent tool in producing high-quality Million Kisses begonia. Chemical plant growth regulators are generally not needed. Million Kisses begonia is responsive to B-Nine and B-Nine/Cycocel tank mix for finished production in smaller containers. Begin applications seven days after transplant.

What's it like to work at TL Direct Acquisitions? We're asked that a lot! We describe our company's culture like this; we're fun, we're passionate and we're aggressive about our goals. Our team is undoubtedly our greatest asset. The pace is fast, the people are incredible and the atmosphere is somewhere you could call home.
Endless Opportunities

We establish clear and defined goals for advancement and teach entrepreneurial skillsets that benefit team members looking to move into leadership and management roles within our firm.
Impeccable Integrity
Another core value of our company's culture is the integrity with which we represent our client's name. In a world where mud-slinging competition and looking for shortcuts to success have become the norm, we empower our team members to represent our client as if the brand was their own. Our image, our professionalism and the sincerity of our team are traits we continuously develop in our Management Training Program.

At the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, everything changed.Posted on
For Western journalists and designers, the annual April auto shows in China have frequently fallen somewhere between a necessary evil and a complete joke. Witness whining on social media about Visa delays, crowded flights and consistent features about copycat cars. Which is why the alternating shows of Beijing and Shanghai have always failed to have the global news impact of Detroit, Geneva or Frankfurt. This was not helped by the over-zealous security guards on show stands who failed to let even the best concepts and production unveilings get the press coverage they deserved. In Beijing 2016, all of these things changed — except the Western media coverage.

File extension:
File type:
[New Style]
Notes about the CGM file extension:
Incorrect file associations could be the result of underlying issues within your PC system. As such it is highly recommended to scan your PC for invalid registry entries, unused processes and other unfavourable system settings to identify slowdown issues.
The CGM file type is primarily associated with 'Computer Graphics Metafile'. ISO/IEC 8632 provides a file format suitable for the storage and retrieval of picture description information. The file format consists of an ordered set of elements that may be used to describe pictures in a way that is compatible between systems of different architectures, compatible with devices of differing capabilities and design, and meaningful to application constituencies. This picture description includes the capability for describing static images. The metafile is defined in such a way that, in addition to sequential access to the whole metafile, random access to individual pictures and individual context-independent application structures is well-defined. This format is used by many different CAD programs.

Shell Island
Activities: Beach, Birding, Scenic Drives, State Parks & National Lands
Part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Shell Island and the surrounding reefs provide breeding and rest areas for sea birds and Marine mammals.
Shell Island is the largest marine haul out on the Oregon Coast. Gray Whales, Northern Elephant Seals, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Stellar Sea Lions, Black Oystercatchers, Great Blue Herons, and Pelagic Cormorants can all be viewed here. Because of the abundance of wildlife on Shell Island, there is no public access to the island itself, but viewing points can be found at Shore Acres, Simpson Reef Overlook and viewpoints along Cape Arago Highway.
