When you turn on the lights, do you wonder where the power comes from? Or who picks the blueberries for your breakfast cereal?
Jeanne Marie Laskas' book puts a human face on the invisible machine that makes American society work. We hear about coal miners' fatalistic attitude toward the constant threat of tunnel collapse or the Iowa trucker who enjoys being part of feeding a nation.
Hidden America doesn't sermonize but it does make us realize that there is a human supply chain when we flip that light switch!

Soap Jumping? Try the Coconut Water Option from Dial!/
When it comes to fashion and beauty, I have a ton of favorites – products and brands that I'm loyal to come hell or high water. However when it comes to bath soap, I've never had a favorite…I'll typically buy whatever is on sale. A couple of weeks ago, "whatever was on sale," happened to be Dial's Coconut Water Bamboo Leaf Extract Glycerin Soap. I picked up a few bars thinking it would likely do the trick. My skin feels equally clean compared with previous soaps I've used – and since it's August I don't notice any increased hydration that the soap is supposed to help with (I'll get back with you about that in December). What I am addicted to is the scent! It's not "coconutty" like tanning lotion but instead has sweet lush aroma. I like it so much I went to the store yesterday and bought the Ultra Fresh Hydrating Body Wash.
Both use coconut water to help infuse skin with moisture and as mentioned, the bar soap is glycerin based, a popular method to keep skin hydrated (here's a great article helping to explain glycerin from the Livestrong website). If you're a soap-jumper like I used to be, give this Coconut Water option from Dial a chance to impress you!
What is your favorite soap or bodywash?

This work weekend is a pretty good one. Hubby and I have been revamping a table to use in our kitchen for meals. We have a really nice and huge dinner table, which is posted on a previous blog around last Thanksgiving. However, it is too huge for just two people to eat at. This one will be taller and I'll put it near my kitchen window so we can look outside and enjoy the view of our backyard. The only thing is, we've Frankensteined a coffee table and it is probably going to be heck trying to get chairs to match. If worst comes to worst, I'll cut down a pair of bar stools and rehab them, too.
The weather is getting a bit cooler, which is a really welcome relief from the hot weather we have in the summer. The leaves are falling and the yard looks fluffy in spots. The pine needles are dropping by the basketfuls. I'll need to pick them up for the flower gardens. Down here, they use these for mulch. People actually buy them in bales to use. I have a free supply for the raking.
I put in a small flower garden and used some of the pine needles for mulch. Let me tell you about the plants I scored at Lowe's this weekend. I've been looking to get some crotons and pansies for color. The crotons grow outside all year long. They are expensive! The pansies, not so expensive. So I decided I'd get a couple of large pots of croton and a flat or two of pansies. Then I saw my favorite clearance cart in an aisle. So, I drug hubby and his buggy to the clearance rack for a browse. SCORE! Small crotons, like I wanted...cheap! Pansies, like I wanted...really cheap! Mind you, the crotons are weepy, but I think they'll pull through. The pansies are really in good shape, but most of the flowers are gone.
Now, the fun part comes. I have a small flower garden near our fire pit. Hubby pulled weeds from it last week. This week I'm planting these flowers in it before they decide to croak. I spread some compost over the soil and started turning over the soil. WRONG! There were roots galore from spreading vines that we've been killing and pulling out. The roots are still spreading. They are poison ivy roots. Oh, yeah! They are thick and kept me from turning the soil. So I had to cut each shovelful of dirt before I turned it over. Then I pulled out the roots and filled two 5-gallon buckets with the roots. So far, I haven't got a rash. It would show by now. I planted the garden and it's going well after only two days.
Busy weekend!
Take care.

As part of your individual healthy weight loss plan you must constantly be mindful of these pointers to increase your metabolism. They will assist you get in shape and lose weight. These basic pointers for your healthy weight loss plan will lead you to successfully achieve your individual weight loss objectives.
Look For The Perfect Fat Loss Program In Manitowoc WI Right Now
You might feel ashamed speaking with your physician about your weight, simply do not stress given that your physician is there to help you. Whenever your weight is impacting your individual wellness, it is time to leave behind humiliation and speak honestly with him/her. Project to fully cover any medical factors to consider that act on your diet plan and dietary needs or that could restrain your ability to working out.
Now, how do you reduce weight? The Poulos' discovered there were a lot more choices than solutions. Plenty of advice at the health club. Many diets to choose from. They tried famous fad diet that just enforced on their long term health. Rob and Kalen discovered there were many programs that did get instant weight lowering results, but the weight would rebound.
What About Weight Loss And Management Program?
Building muscles to burn fat – This is the most recent strategy followed to minimize the stored fat rapidly. Especially, this is apt choice for the fatty women to get a slimmer structure. Muscles have great function in burning the fat permanently. The very best method to develop muscles are picking the right exercise together with the cardio vascular programs. A few of the right workouts appropriate for midlife group are lunges, dead lifts, crouches, bench presses and so on. So, a strong exercise plan is essential to construct muscle tissue.
Healthy Eating Bundled
Do not end up being obsessed with the scale. Due to the fact that the outcomes are not instantaneous, weighing yourself a lot may discourage you. Working out builds muscle, which is heavier than fat. The very best method to evaluate whether your weight-loss plan is working is to take a look at how well your clothes is now fitting.
It's always more advisable to go on a sustainable weight loss program. You must use sluggish rate approach in burning the excess calories if you are overweight. Taking off securely one need to likewise utilize the exact same rate of losing weight if getting a lot of weight took about a year. Through changing gradually in the method that you consume and exercise, steady and gradually in reducing weight will turn into life as an option of D word which suggests feared or discouragement.
Exercise Plan That Suits You
Consume lots of water. Everyone understands that we need 7 glasses of water every day however how much people really drink 7 glasses of water every day. Start your day by drinking water. More water equal to healthier body. Stay away from sodas. Since tea contains less caffeine, Tea and coffee are better than sodas however I prefer tea. If you make it by yourself, Fruit juice would be perfect for you especially.
You have to be extremely mindful even with processed foods that claim to be slim; oftentimes when they take out the fat they include calories in other ways to improve the taste. In this manner they can still advertise low fat, sly huh! Whenever you buy food items that are packaged and processed read the labels thoroughly.
The Manitowoc Wisconsin Fat Loss Program People Can Have Confidence In
You should only purchase foods that match with your diet plan. Your possibilities of consuming them is high when you buy foods for individuals in your house or for yourself which does not match your diet strategy. Maintain your individual fat loss system by cautiously constructing a list that matches your diet strategy prior to going to the store. You must not acquire those things.

Serves 3-4
500g (1lb 1oz) pasta shells
400g (14oz) broccoli – just the green tops, no stalk
2 tbsp vegan spread
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ cup vegan and gluten free vegetable stock
¼ tsp mustard
1/8 tsp paprika
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 cup of vegan cheese spread
Salt and pepper
- Chop the broccoli into small pieces.
- Cook the broccoli into boiling water, until tender. Drain and put to one side.
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the cheese sauce. In a saucepan, mix together the garlic, vegetable stock, mustard, paprika, spread and cheese spread. Cook over a low heat, stirring until cheese spread has melted and is smooth.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Drain the pasta well and add it to the sauce. Add the broccoli to the sauce and mix well, heating gently until warmed through.
Recipe Variation Ideas
- Add some toasted breadcrumbs as a topping.
- Top with some sliced tomatoes and grated dairy free cheese and bake until bubbling and melted.
- Use a combination of cauliflower and broccoli.
The health benefits of broccoli
Broccoli is eaten as a vegetable and is part of the cabbage family. The large green flower heads are the most commonly eaten part although the stalk is also edible. Broccoli has many health benefits and is highly nutritious, containing dietary fiber and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. These include vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc.
- Broccoli contains a high level of potassium which helps to maintain a healthy nervous system and promotes muscle growth.
- The high levels of magnesium and calcium in broccoli can help to regulate blood pressure.
- Broccoli has large amounts of calcium and vitamin K, both of which are important for keeping bones healthy and strong.
- Beta-carotene, zinc and selenium help to boost the immune system and strengthen defences against illness and disease.
Broccoli contains glucoraphanin, a chemical that is processed into sulforaphane by the body. This anti-cancer compound can help to protect against the development of cancer, in particular gastric cancer. This green vegetable also contains indole -3-carbinol, a powerful antioxidant andante-carcinogen that is known to slow the growth of breast, cervical and prostate cancers.
Tips for cooking and serving broccoli
Although it is generally thought of as a cooked vegetable broccoli can also be eaten raw. The florets can be served with other vegetable such as carrot and celery with dips or the thicker stalk parts can be shredded and added to slaw recipes. If the stems seem tough they can be peeled revealing a softer inner.
Broccoli can be cooked in a variety of ways including steaming, boiling, baking and stir-frying. It pairs well with cream and cheese and can be added to casseroles, rice dishes or salads. Adding broccoli to cauliflower cheese provides extra goodness and also variety. As with cooking all vegetables, care should be taken not to lose all of the nutrients by overcooking. Steaming, microwaving, stir-frying or eating broccoli raw are the best ways to ensure that this does not happen. When cooking broccoli as part of a casserole, soup or stew it is less of a worry as the liquid is also eaten. If it is to be cooked by boiling try to use the water for other thing such as making sauces or gravy to go with the meal.

Hannah Montana Movie Breaks Records
Posted by hannahmontanadoll on January 24, 2008
As soon as the Hannah Montana 3D Movie tickets went on sale they instantly broke records at Fandango.com. This is not the first thing something Hannah Montana related totally broke records. If you recall you will remember her record sales for her Best of Both Worlds Concert tour. There were so many litte kids that had their hearts broken when they found out that they couldn't go to see Miley Cyrus Live.
With the announcement of the New Hannah Montana Movie there were many hearts mended as they found out that they could see the Hannah Montana Concert in 3D at a theater near their homes. Here is the problem though the movie opens up in a week from today on Friday February 1, 2008 and it only plays for one week (yes you heard right only one (1) week). The tickets are selling so fast and actually already selling out in many theaters that we are seeing the same thing that happened with the concert happening with her movie. Now you know that this site is here to help all the parents stay in front of the croud and on top of the new items when it comes to Hannah Montana. So here it is but you have to hurry the Hannah Montana 3D Movie tickets on sale now!

I cannot believe the direction that "Hannah Montana" is taking!! Is her father trying to get back at the population because he was only a one hit wonder with his music? Why take his frustrations out on children? Why don't his efforts go in the direction of making his daughter's legacy one of making sure that ALL children can be part of "Hannah's" wave of popularity instead of grabbing the big bucks and running her career into the ground and goig down as one of greed and contempt for the very fans that put her at the forefront. What has happened to the entertainment industry and the general public that make up the fan base. What ever happened to being a good person and being satisfied with making a "better that average" income and settling for being a heroine or hero to you fans? It is sad to see that even a young girl can be bought for a few pieces of gold and be willing to sell her integrity, too. Remember that your fans are mostly children of hard working middle class parents and don't have the resources to pay thousands for a ticket to see "Hannah" in person or in a movie that will be short run for personnal gain, not for fans good. Please don't be tainted by success and come back to earth and to your fans! Pleaqse STOP and remembeer your childhood goals and what is REALLY important (oh, just a clue, it IS NOT the almighty dollar). Please come back down to earth before it is too late to Ttrully redeem yourself, Britney Spear's has fallen into the MY NEEDS ARE WHAT IS IMPORTANT abyss, and it doesn't seem to be doing her much good!

Patriotic songs, tributes to soldiers who have died in the line of duty and a message about honoring and standing up for the word of God were the highlights of a service observing Memorial Day Sunday at Springhill Baptist Church.
Patriotic songs, tributes to soldiers who have died in the line of duty and a message about honoring and standing up for the word of God were the highlights of a service observing Memorial Day Sunday at Springhill Baptist Church.
The worship service at Springhill began with parishioners standing as members of the church presented the colors by placing the U.S., state of Florida, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy and Prisoners of War flags in front of the altar. Parishioners remained standing as Springhill member Jasmine Ford sang the "National Anthem."
Minister Greg Debose, who presided over the service and gave the occasion, said the service was being held to honor the soldiers who paid the ultimate price for Americans to enjoy freedom.
"I wanted to honor them in a way that makes us remember that freedom isn't free," said Debose, who spent 22 years in the military.
Before Debose gave the occasion, Springhill member Mary Lewis gave the welcome and asked all active duty soldiers, family members of soldiers and veterans to stand.
"Through it all, God has kept us," said Lewis, a Vietnam-era veteran who spent 30 years in the Army before retiring.
The service also included Springhill member Marie Johnson, who was in the Army for 13 years, and Army Sgt. 1st Class Janet Steward of Gainesville presenting the Missing Soldier Table for One tribute.
As Johnson said what each item on the table represented, Stewart performed an action with the item.
When Johnson said the chair at the table represented the soldiers not being here, Stewart leaned the chair forward so the back rested on the side of the table.
The tribute ended with U.S. Army Retired Sgt. 1st Class Charles Thomas, also a member of Springhill, lighting a memorial candle for fallen soldiers as the choir sang "Order My Steps."
The choir also sang "America the Beautiful" before the sermon was delivered by U.S. Navy Cmdr. Bruce Hill, a Navy chaplain who has been in the Navy for 36 years.
The subject of his sermon was "God is Faithful." He preached from Lamentations 3:22-23.
He said the text is about how God reaffirms his faithfulness every day he allows someone to awaken.
"Every morning your eyes open, God renews and prepares you for the day," said Hill, who has been a member at Springhill for 10 years.
Hill said commitment, courage and honor are the core values of the Navy, and he said those same core values are needed in the church.
He said it is time for people to display those core values by doing something for God, instead of always wanting God to do something for them.
He also said America is in trouble because God has been too good to the U.S., and he added that America has not blessed God in return.
"Immorality, idolatry and abomination will bring any country down," Hill said. "God is not pleased with how we do business in this great and blessed nation."
He also made a reference to U.S. President Barack Obama supporting same-sex marriage when he said, "It is not a good thing when Satan releases sin from the White House. Romans 6:1 tell us the gay community doesn't have any rights but to get Jesus Christ in their lives and change."
He also said there are a lot of people who encourage wrongdoing, but profess to be holy. He ended his sermon by saying it is time for people to be faithful to God.
Moreover, he said it is time for people to implement the CRRR rule – confess, repent, receive God's forgiveness and return back to God.
Speaking during brief remarks at the end of the service, Springhill pastor, Pastor Adrian S. Taylor, thanked Hill for delivering a timely word.
He also thanked the organizers of the service.
"I have never been in a more spiritual Memorial Day service," Taylor said.

The Ewha Korean Music Orchestra will perform in concert Saturday, October 21, 2017, at 7:30 p.m. in Orvis Auditorium at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. The eighteen-member group, led by Professor Young Seok Won, is the only all-woman Korean music orchestra. This traditional Korean music orchestra is composed of talented Ewha Womans University students majoring in traditional Korean music. Since Korean traditional music was established as a major in the Music Department in 1974, Ewha has encouraged students to cultivate their talents and techniques in traditional Korean music and in Western and contemporary Korean music at the same time.
The orchestra consists of three groups of related musical instruments that could be categorized as woodwinds (daegeum and pipes), percussion, and strings (gayageum, geomungo, haegeum, and ajaeng). Their aesthetics and musical style are not limited to pre-modern Korean music. Though rooted in the Korean tradition, they incorporate Western and contemporary music into their repertoire, including orchestral, court, and chamber music. The orchestra also performs newly created compositions for a contemporary global audience.
The concert, titled "Ewha Fantasy," is a special event to raise funds for the Hawaii Ewha Alumnae Association Scholarship. Tickets for the concert cost $10 and can be purchased by contacting the Hawaii Ewha Alumnae Association by phone at (808) 741‑0406 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

I really enjoy Pinthouse. It's probably no secret that I seek out a quality draft beer selection and if that includes in-house craft beer, count me in!
Joe Mohrfeld, the head brewer, previously held the head brewer position Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins Colorado and has brought his refined brewing skills to Austin. I have been here numerous times and have only opted for the house made beer; that's how good it is. Their selection rotates so I have always had the chance to try a new creation each visit. If you want to get the most variety for your buck they offer tastings/flights of four 3-ounce pours of anything on the wall.
Oh yeah, they make some damn fine pizzas also. They have picnic style seating and no wait staff requiring a trip to the bar when it's time for a refill. There are some video games in the back and a fairly spacious outside section out front.

Expect another very cool and comfortable night across Southeast Louisiana.

Most of you internet junkies have probably seen the viral video of a Turkish chef cutting a piece of steak and generously sprinkling some salt on it by now.
In fact, there's something incredibly satisfying about seeing this gracious and muscular man taking care of that meat with all the confidence in the world.
The man in question is named Nusret Gökçe and he quickly became a strong sensation after some Twitter users decided to rebaptize him Salt Bae. But #SaltBae is not only the hashtag that started buzzing as many people created memes of the Sparkle chef making him one of the first official memes of 2017.
Here are some of the best memes about Sprinkle chef aka #Saltbae

For the tens of thousands of people in the United States with office jobs, sitting all day is normal. However, recently a new fad has popped up as an alternative in the office: standing desks. Right off the bat, this may sound like a great idea — get off your butt, get healthier; but in fact, this may not necessarily be the case. Take a closer look at this growing trend: the positives, negatives, and how to strike a balance.
Pros of a Standing Desk
- Standing can help reduce back pain, and help with better posture
- The less you are sitting for extended periods of time, the lower your risk of obesity and cancer (a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that people who spent most of the day on their butts had a 24% greater colon cancer risk
- Standing at work can help burn calories
- There is a better chance you will get your body moving when you stand vs. sitting at your desk
Cons of a Standing Desk
- The cost — many standing desks start at $500 and if you're interested in something slow-moving (like a treadmill desk), those can cost $800+
- Standing all day can also cause injury, such as leg cramps, and achey feet
- Using a standing desk can start to give some numbness in your feet and toes due to hyperextending your knee
- You must be more aware of what you wear to work, like possibly avoiding high heels and other uncomfortable shoes [image]
Striking a Healthy Balance
Instead of making a drastic change that may turn not turn out as you expected, try one of these alternatives:
Taking walks during breaks at work, or whenever possible will help increase blood flow (and it's great to clear your head!)
- Choosing the right chair is very important — be sure the seat you choose is ergonomic and right for you (body type, etc.)
- Stretching can help your body feel better, even if you do it at your desk!
- Work from a shared office or coworking space — many times, these types of office spaces have great options and comfortable seating to make you feel comfortable and productive [image by Christopher Patterson]
See: 4 Reasons to Work from a Shared Office
The next time your back is sore at work, or your neck is feeling a little tight, don't just run out to the store to purchase a standing desk. Instead, take the time to see what your needs really are, weigh the pros and cons, and you might even consult a doctor if necessary.

Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
9 signs clients arent saving enough for retirement
On average, Americans spend at least 20 years in retirement, so it's crucial that they have saved enough to support their living costs through the golden years, according to this article on CBS Moneywatch. You will know that clients do not have sufficient savings if they haven't taken the initial steps to build their nest egg or they scramble to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses. Having credit card debt, or not being able to live for several months from their savings are other signs they have not saved enough. See the other red flags in this article.
--CBS Moneywatch
Can clients put their required minimum distributions into Roth IRA?
Retirees are not allowed to convert their required minimum distribution from their traditional IRA to a Roth account, according to this article on Time Money. Converting an RMD will be taken as an excess contribution and trigger a 6% penalty for every year the amount stays in the account. However, clients can make the conversion on the remaining amount after they have taken the RMD and pay the applicable taxes. "You just have to satisfy the RMD requirement before you do a Roth conversion," says an expert. --Time Money
Some investors cant wait for the Fed to raise rates
Investors who are approaching retirement are hoping that the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates as they intend to move their assets from riskier stocks to bonds and other more stable investments, according to this article in The Wall Street Journal. However, there are hardly high-rated bonds that provide a substantial return. "CDs and Treasurys, we don't even look at those anymore because the rates are so low they're ridiculous," a pre-retiree complains. --The Wall Street Journal
How to know if a variable annuity is right for clients
Many experts recommend variable annuities to investors because of the advantages it offers, but other advisers dismiss the product as costly and hard to understand, according to this article on MarketWatch. Clients may consider including a variable annuity in their portfolio if they want to have access to equity markets for investment growth in the long term and have tax-deferred savings. A variable annuity may not be the right investment for them if they want to avoid market volatility and higher tax bracket when they start receiving payments. --MarketWatch
Why taking a vacation is critical to your retirement planning
Many pre-retirees are likely to feel burned-out as they work longer hours and skip vacations with plans of retiring at a later age or no plans at all, writes a certified financial planner. As such, they are advised to take a much needed break so they can have time to ponder on their future options. "Whatever you do as you are transitioning to retirement, consider taking a two-week vacation," the planner writes. "Block off time each year to engage in something that you really look forward to, and that nourishes your soul." --Forbes

The 2017 Next-Gen OSS and the Rise of LSO Report is Now Available. Download PDF or Read Online
Virtualization is changing the way new communications services are built, deployed, and managed – and software platforms need to evolve to support this change. Our 2016 LSO & Next-Gen OSS Survey will gather the information to tell you what's going to happen with next-generation operations support systems (OSSes) and Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO).
OSS software is the linchpin to many services in the communications space. Service providers around the world use OSS to launch, track, and manage service offerings and products. Underlying technologies such as networking and orchestration are useless unless they can tie elegantly into the OSS system.
There are big changes ahead for this market. Software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) technology has shifted game from proprietary, physical hardware to the virtualized layer, where there are fewer standards for connecting to established OSS software. This offers the opportunity to develop new, open standards and application programming interfaces (APIs) that can connect OSS and SDN/NFV. At the same time, emerging LSO standards are being designed to enable services to be deployed end-to-end, across carrier networks that may be using a variety of hardware and software platforms.
This is your opportunity to tell us what you think of next-gen OSS and LSO, as well as any technology needs you see. The results of the survey will contribute to the market analysis in the 2017 LSO & Next-gen OSS report.
Some of the things we hope to learn from the survey:
- Which OSS software is most widely adopted?
- What exactly is LSO and how does it relate to OSS?
- Which vendors are seen as leaders in next-gen OSS and LSO?
- What are the current challenges in integrating SDN/NFV with LSO?
- What is likely to happen to spending on software for OSS and LSO?
- How important are standardized APIs to the development of interoperability of virtualized services?
If you complete our survey, which only takes a few minutes, you can receive an exclusive preview of the results before they are released to the public and the opportunity to enter an online raffle for a chance to win one of two $200 Amazon gift cards.
Our Market Landscape reports have been growing fast, with some getting more than 4,000 downloads. Our 2017 LSO & Next-Gen LSO Report is expected to set the standard for where the LSO and OSS markets are going.
So, if you have a few extra minutes, take the survey to get a free preview of the results and a chance to win some Amazon credit.
You must be an SDxCentral member to participate. Registration is free and easy.
We are asking participants to log in because we've encountered attempted fraud when publishing surveys in the past. Survey results will not be associated with participants' login information. We will only use the details of the survey to generate aggregated results.
We welcome any and all feedback on the Report, so please don't hesitate to reach out with your ideas – simply email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NEARLY three decades after shocking America with **** tha Police, rap legend Ice Cube is back with what he calls a 2017 version – an appeal to "good cops" to lead.
The gangsta rap pioneer, now also the star of Hollywood action films, is releasing the song on a 25th anniversary edition of his album Death Certificate which comes out on Friday.
Good Cop Bad Cop, one of three new tracks on the reissued album, salutes the Black Lives Matter movement that has emerged in recent years in response to several high-profile killings of unarmed African Americans by police.
"Good cop, good cop, where is your dignity? Where's your empathy? Where is your sympathy? Bad cop – where's your humanity?" Ice Cube raps over a mid-tempo bass-line interspersed with horn climaxes.
**** tha Police, released in 1988 by Ice Cube's former band N.W.A., caused a sensation at the time and remains highly controversial with US police groups objecting to its blunt message.
The song comes from the perspective of young African American men in impoverished parts of the Los Angeles area who are angered by police harassment.
Good Cop Bad Cop revives lines from **** tha Police that single out for criticism African American police seen as giving cover to white officers.
Ice Cube, 47, said he wanted to create a contemporary version of **** tha Police after seeing the box-office success of the 2015 biopic about N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton.
"We realized that it's still the same thing that's going on, so to me we needed a more up-to-date version of the community talking to the police and to authorities," he told Apple Music's Beats 1 radio.
"The first line of defense for us is for good cops to get these bad apples out the bunch, because they're sucking all the respect that the police used to have," he said.
Released in 1991, Death Certificate again raised controversy with Ice Cube facing accusations of racism.
The track Black Korea took aim at Korean American business owners and their sometimes tense relationship with black customers, while No Vaseline was a heated dis track against fellow N.W.A members and manager Jerry Heller. — AFP

The End [of clinging to the idea of getting to do this without making it even more clinical] and The Beginning [of figuring this out?]. This week I move the hose from the back yard faucet to the front one -- The End [of hoping that the backyard tomatoes would survive despite being broken in half by that super storm a few weeks ago]. The Beginning [of hoping those front yard sunflowers grow].

I have a pattern for knitted slippers. It is a great, easy pattern, but the slipper are all the same size. How do I change the size of the slippers? Other patterns I have say for this size do this, for this size use the directions in the () and so on.
This pattern only has one size. I was thinking that I could use larger needles and the slippers would turn out bigger.
Is that right?
Thanks for your help. Terri

The power of Algae – innovative building facade
Posted in Models by Jessica Bird on April 18th, 2013
Source: DesignBuild Source
From the Arup media release "World first bio-reactive façade debuts in Hamburg"
The BIQ [Bio Intelligence Quotient] house will become the world's first pilot project to showcase a bioreactive façade […] With 200m² of integrated photo-bioreactors, this passive-energy house generates biomass and heat as renewable energy resources. At the same time, the system integrates additional functionality such as dynamic shading, thermal insulation and noise abatement, highlighting the full potential of this technology.
The microalgae used in the façades are cultivated in flat panel glass bioreactors measuring 2.5m x 0.7m. In total, 129 bioreactors have been installed on the south west and south east faces of the four-storey residential building. The heart of the system is the fully automated energy management centre where solar thermal heat and algae are harvested in a closed loop to be stored and used to generate hot water. […]
"Using bio-chemical processes in the façade of a building to create shade and energy is a really innovative concept. It might well become a sustainable solution for energy production in urban areas, so it is great to see it being tested in a real-life scenario." — Jan Wurm, Arup's Europe Research Leader
The system will be officially presented to the media on 25 April 2013 when the biofaçade system goes into operation for the first time.

Cow Power: Reducing waste, boosting electricity supply
Posted in Models by Jessica Bird on January 23rd, 2013

From "Cow power' turns manure, food waste into mighty electricity source' by Ben McCanna
"Every day in rural Penobscot County, a large dairy farm harnesses clean-burning gas from cow manure and food waste, and it generates enough electricity to power 800 homes continuously. The process, commonly known as cow power, has the potential to earn the facility $800,000 a year. It also creates byproducts — animal bedding and a less-odorous fertilizer — that save the farm about $100,000 a year. Cow power is more consistent than solar and wind energy, and it eliminates greenhouses gases that otherwise would enter the atmosphere. The $5.5 million project could pay for itself in five years."

Refining Technology: Bio-Digester for an Ice Cream Factory

From Unilever to build bio-digester at Dutch ice cream factory:
Unilever and biotechnology company Paques have started the construction of a bio-digester at the food giant's Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory in Hellendoorn, the Netherlands. Paques' BIOPAQ AFR bio-digester, which will convert waste products from the production of ice cream into clean energy, will cover 40 per cent of the ice cream factory's green energy requirements.
According to Paques, this bio-digester has been built specifically for applications where the purification of fat-containing wastewater is required. Unlike conventional systems, the bio-digester treats wastewater containing fat and oil in a single compact reactor, together with degradable particles. The installation of the bio-digester is a part of Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan, which aims at reducing the production of waste and the consumption of water and energy. The bio-digester is expected to become operational mid year.

We would all like to help the environment, but how do we choose what actions will help us minimise our energy use, given our lifestyle? This quick quiz helps you choose up to five actions that will really make a difference for you.
Some of the ideas suggested by the quiz can be done, even if you can only spend a few dollars at a time.
Using the ideas in the quiz, I saved $180 per year in energy costs in the last year for a cost of $800. This is a return on investment of 22%, far in excess of what shares are currently getting! In fact, because I used a redraw account, it is only costing me $64 per year to get the $180 per year saving so we have more cash in our pockets while still being green!

What is a deacon?
On June 10th, D.J. Johnson and Robert Little were ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacons in the Anglican Church of North America. But what exactly does that mean? Many denominations use the term "deacon," but what they each mean can be vastly different. Since so many folks at All Saints are new to Anglicanism, I thought that perhaps a quick primer was due.
What is the Diaconate?
As Anglicans, we view the Diaconate as one of the three orders of ministry along with the Presbyterate (i.e. priests) and the Episcopate (i.e. bishops). Every priest is first ordained as a deacon, and every bishop is first ordained as a deacon and then a priest. In the Anglican church, we view ordination as a sacramental act. Thus, the result is not simply functional, but also ontological. A person is ordained as a deacon not simply for a local congregation, but rather for the entire church, and he remains an ordained deacon for the rest of his life. This is because the deacon is under the authority of a bishop rather than a local congregation. In the ordination service, the new deacon confesses, "And I do swear by Almighty God that I will pay true and canonical obedience in all things lawful and honest to the Bishop of ___________ and his successors: So help me God." So even though most deacons serve in a parish, their ministry to that parish is through the Bishop. Thus, a deacon must always be under the authority of a bishop.
How does one become a deacon?
Becoming a deacon in the Anglican church is not like being elected to the Vestry or joining the altar guild. It begins with a call on the heart of the individual to serve the church in a specific way. A vocational deacon (i.e. a deacon who is not seeking ordination to the priesthood) must have a heart for service. It is his or her job to bring the concerns of the world into the church and the Gospel of the church into the world, esentially standing with one foot in the church and the other in the world. For this reason, deacons typically serve without monetary compensation. When a person feels called to this type of servant ministry the first step is to meet with the Rector, who will then form a discernment committee in the local parish. This group will meet regularly with the aspirant and explore his or her call to the diaconate. It is important to note here that ordination is not primarily about affirming the value of someone's ministry. Just because a person is a respected leader in a church does not necessarily mean that he or she is being called to ordination. The committee will explore the reasons the person feels called while at the same time evaluating the church's own need for a deacon. Things like personal theology, interpersonal skills, and a willingness to serve under authority will all be discussed with the committee.
If the committee approves, the diaconal aspirant then meets with the Vestry and Rector. If there are no stumbling blocks, the Rector will recommend the aspirant to the Bishop. In some dioceses (like Pittsburgh), there will be a diocesan Commission on Ministry that will evaluate each aspirant and make a recommendation to the Bishop. The bishop then decides to reject the aspirant or accept him or her as a postulant. Requirements for postulants vary from diocese to diocese but usually involve classes and other course work, regular communication with the Bishop, and perhaps some practical ministry experience in a parish or hospital. Eventually the postulant becomes a candidate, which means that ordination has been approved and an ordination date has been set. Finally, the candidate is ordained through the laying on of hands by the Bishop in a public service. Since deacons are ordained for the entire church and not just a parish, they are typically ordained in the Cathedral of a diocese along with several other diaconal candidates.
What does a deacon do?
The main role of the deacon is service. In the ordination service, the Bishop tells the ordinand, "It belongs to the Office of a Deacon, to assist the Priest in public worship, especially in the administration of Holy Communion; to lead in public prayer; to read the Gospel, and to instruct both young and old in the Catechism; and at the direction of the Priest, to baptize and to preach. Furthermore, it is the Deacon's Office to work with the laity in searching for the sick, the poor, and the helpless, that they may be relieved." Liturgically, the deacon will vest and process for all services, read the Gospel lesson and the Prayers of the People, prepare the altar for the consecration of the elements, and assist in the distribution of Holy Communion. In the absence of a priest a deacon can lead Sunday morning services and distribute Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament. In addition, a deacon will typically have a ministry to the congregation, such as of assisting the priest in the spiritual care of the people, helping the poor and needy, leading specific ministries, or teaching classes. The job description for the deacon of the church could simply read, "All duties as required."
What is a deacon unable to do?
Although deacons traditionally serve as volunteers, there are no prohibitions for deacons serving on the paid staff of a church or diocese. However, a deacon cannot serve as the Rector of a parish. Liturgically, a deacon can lead the first half of a Holy Eucharist service but cannot consecrate the elements. A deacon is not permitted to pronounce absolution or to give a priestly blessing. For this reason, while deacons are able to perform weddings and baptisms, they are not permitted to bless the water for a baptism or give the nuptial blessing at a wedding.
What do deacons wear?
Deacons traditionally wear clergy shirts and collars when serving in an official capacity. Liturgically a deacon will wear a stole over his or her left shoulder (as opposed to the priest which wears the stole over both shoulders) and can wear a dalmatic (a sleeved garment similar to the priest's chasuble) when serving at the altar.
What do I call a deacon?
The title "Reverend" is afforded to all deacons in the Anglican Church. However, they should not be addressed as "Father," but rather as "Deacon." So, for example, Robert will become "The Rev. Robert Little," and we can refer to him as "Deacon Robert."

ESHB 2261—2009's Education Reform Bill
Education Reform Bill #2261 is now law - still takes action to implement it
The Education Funding Reform Bill of 2009, of the decade, ESHB 2261, became law in May 2009.
The Basic Education Finance Joint Task Force (a.k.a. BEF), a bipartisan group appointed by the Governor and charged with redefining basic education and developing appropriate funding structures, completed their work in January '09. This legislative Task Force proposed new solutions to fulfill the Washington Learns committee final report in the form of legislative bills for the state Legislature to take up in its Jan-Apr 2009 session.
The BEF work eventually led to, after several incarnation through the contentious 2009 legislative session, the engrossed Senate / House bill 2261 signed into final law in May.
The bill marks the first major change to the definition of basic education in over 30 years, with much of the work still to be done by the Work Groups created by the bill…especially in the areas of finding an adequate funding source for implementation and the evolution of teacher compensation / career professionalization.

A 2009 Timeline of the Evolution from BEF in to HB 1410 / SB 5444 in to ESHB 2261
May 19: Governor Gregoire signed ESHB 2261 into law on May 20th. The bill marks the first major change to the definition of basic education in over 30 years, with much of the work still to be done by the Work Groups created by the bill…especially in the areas of finding an adequate funding source for implementation and the evolution of teacher compensation / career professionalization.
Just prior to signing, it was announced that the Governor exercised her right to veto two bill sections:
Veto 1) The creation of a safety net for gifted education; Veto 2) The Early Learning component of the bill
May 20: What's Next for 2261 by Barbara McLain, Analyst, Office of Prog. Research, WA Hse. Of Reps.
May 19th: Governor Gregoire signed ESHB 2261 into law on May 20th. Education advocates, coalition partners and legislators witnessed the Governor sign HB 2261. The bill marks the first major change to the definition of basic education in over 30 years, with much of the work still to be done by the Work Groups created by the bill…especially in the areas of finding an adequate funding source for implementation and the evolution of teacher compensation / career professionalization.
Just prior to signing, it was announced that the Governor exercised her right to veto two bill sections:
Veto 1) The creation of a safety net for gifted education: reason given was that the plan needs more work before it can be put into statute (this section was appended near the end of the bill process, so not too surprising)
Veto 2) The Early Learning component of the bill: Gov wants a proposal brought back next session which would include the option of early learning for all children, not just those in poverty. This veto was an unexpected shock to many who had strongly supported this piece — expect there to be a strong coalition to continue on reinstating this component in the 2010 Session.
April 20th: ESHB 2261 passed out of the House 67 to 31 - the legislature moved on ed reform.

Apr 20th: Legislators are considering one more education reform proposal:
· the Senate version SB 6048 —currently evolving with leadership from Sens. Oemig, McAuliffe and Jarret of the Senate Ed Comm.—leaves the definition of basic education to be done later, depending on when money is available, and how much — it's still a lot up for grabs, but hopefully less so than previous weeks;
· the Governor is equivocating, hoping the Senate & House will allow her to …..
It's up to all of us—parents, educators, taxpayers, businesses and community leaders must ensure our lawmakers make the right decision on behalf of children this legislative session!
Thu Apr 16: Championed by Sens. McAuliffe, Jarret and Oemig, ESSB 2261 passed off the Senate floor today by a vote of 26 to 23 back to the House (now Passed 04/20 by concurrence vote!).

House Bill 2261 passed with a bipartisan vote of 71 to 26 and will move on to the state Senate for consideration. The passage of HB 2261 leapt a huge hurdle for children and schools!
From LEV: Please send a "thank you" message to the four House members, Rep. Pat Sullivan, Rep. Skip Priest, Rep. Ross Hunter and Rep. Glenn Anderson, who were the architects of HB 2261. The House members worked together to improve HB 2261 to include reforms that children need to succeed in college, job training and the workforce. A major piece was added as an amendment to HB 2261 by Rep. Hunter to strengthen Washington's high school graduation requirements.

March 9th: Ed funding bill SB 6048 passes out of Senate! But with little fanfare — so devoid of substance that some ed funding supporters (and originators) voted against it. Intent is for the much stronger (but still underwhelming) House bill 2261 to push its development to be a true companion bill.
Wed Feb. 27: Report to WASSDA by Dan Steele—Overall update
Mon. Feb. 23: A must read - Report to WASSDA by Dan Steele on new SB 6048, following a public hearing.
BEF bills 1410 and 5444 are now in transition (OK, dead...) — new tentative bills are HB 2261 and SB 6048.
1:00 PM Feb. 18th: Fast moving legislation of the past week is now replaced with companion bills by Rep. Sullivan, HB 2261, and Senator Oemig, SB 6048.
Core 24 high school hours, a modernized teacher compensation, and early learning funding are concepts struggling to be retained. Any message that you send to your legislators could explicitly state that you want higher high school graduation requirements (Core 24), a reformed compensation model for paying teachers, and the investment in pre-K – all are at high risk of exclusion for multiple reasons (mostly voiced from ed unions).
These new bills may provide new hope. The bills may be empty, but the framework is intact, at this point. If the bills pass with the framework, students may still win. The next negotiations with the unions will probably revolve around what are the priority issues to tackle, and when and how to implement them.
This Friday Feb. 20th is the cutoff date for the House, and Feb. 25th is the cutoff for the Senate. A lot of work to do in a few days. These new, place-holder bills were written such that they should pass through committee this round. Constituent pressure will keep the framework and issues alive.
