RatDog Featuring Mark Karan on Vocals
Last night at the 4th and B in San Diego, Bob Weir initially opted to perform his scheduled RatDog gig despite the fact that he was reportedly suffering from the flu. While Weir was able to appear during the first set, he was forced to sit out the second. The rest of the band was in fine fettle however, with Mark Karan stepping into his stead on vocals on such tunes as Sugaree, Not Fade Away and Deal.

Grimm's Wooden Teething Rattle
Regular price
Sale price
Default Title - $18.00 USD
Add to Cart
This pyramid-shaped rattle is handmade from natural hardwood and the discs are gently colored with child safe water based stains. Easy for baby to grasp, this rattle has 6 colorful discs graduating in size on the inside spindle, forming another pyramid shape.
Baby rattles like the Grimm's Spiel und Holz Wooden Pyramid Rattle & Teether satisfy a baby's early multisensory needs: seeing, touching, hearing, and biting. Babies need something hard to bite on to soothe their tender gums. Babies also need gentle sensory feedback like that of a rattle. It helps infants begin to make connections (when I shake this, it makes sounds). Interesting textures in general provide them sensory stimulation and associations (this surface is smooth, that surface is rough, this thing is hard), which help babies begin to organize information in their disorganized young brains.
Wood is an ideal material for a baby's first sensory impressions, as it has many different sense experiences. Bacteria cannot breed on wood. This is especially true for non-varnished wood.
Made sustainably in Germany by Grimm's Spiel und Holz Design, a small company who have been making natural wooden toys since 1978. All Grimm's toys are made from sustainable alder, lime, maple and cherry timbers, hand finished with non-toxic and water based stains (unvarnished), and treated with pure food-grade vegetable oil. Grimm's Spiel & Holz uses green electricity sources and minimal packaging.

1 Year : From Aug 2017 to Aug 2018
By Emily Glazer
Wells Fargo & Co. said third-quarter profit and revenue fell as the nation's third-largest bank by assets was hurt by a coming legal settlement and continues to struggle with fallout from last year's sales-practice scandal.
Following the results, shares fell 2.4% to $53.87 in premarket trading.
Wells Fargo reported a profit of $4.57 billion, or 84 cents a share, which included a charge of $1 billion, or 20 cents a share, for previously disclosed, crisis-era mortgage-related regulatory investigations. The bank's earnings compared with $5.64 billion, or $1.03 a share, in the year-ago period. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected earnings of $1.03 a share.
The legal settlement that may soon come out of the years-old mortgage probe doesn't explain a weaker-than-expected revenue figure from the bank. Wells Fargo's quarterly revenue fell to $21.93 billion from $22.33 billion a year earlier. Analysts had expected $22.40 billion.
Wells Fargo was the only big U.S. bank so far to report falling revenue and to miss analysts' target on that metric.
The bank, led by Chief Executive Timothy Sloan, had been one of the more consistent big banks at growing earnings and revenue. Shares, though, dropped last year after the bank agreed to a $185 million settlement over opening accounts with fictitious or unauthorized information. It recently updated the number of potentially affected accounts to 3.5 million.
Those issues are on top of consumer-lending problems around auto insurance charges and mortgage fees that regulators are probing. Mr. Sloan testified in a congressional hearing last week on those matters. Wells Fargo also continues to face a spate of state and federal investigations that the bank has said it is cooperating with.
Investors so far have given Mr. Sloan time to clean up the problems, despite the fact the bank's shares have badly underperformed big rivals over the past year. In May, Wells also announced an additional $2 billion in cost cuts by the end of 2018.
Though the bank's shares have bounced back following the election, rising about 21% through Thursday, they have lagged behind the 32% jump in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index over the same period. The bank's shares are about flat since the beginning of the year.
The sales scandal has boosted expenses, which are likely to remain high for some time. Making matters worse, this is happening as interest rates remain at relatively low levels, despite a recent uptick. The result of this combination: Wells Fargo's return on equity continued to grind lower in the third quarter, at 9.06%, hitting its lowest level in years.
Overall profits at Wells Fargo's community banking division, which includes the unit responsible for the questionable sales tactics over at least the past several years -- and the more recent auto insurance and mortgage problems -- were $2.23 billion, a 31% slump from the $3.23 billion it earned in the third quarter of 2016. The bank said the unit's profit included the crisis-era, mortgage-related litigation accrual of $1 billion.
Though low rates had been a boon for certain aspects of home lending, the all-important refinancing market has largely slowed down. Wells Fargo's mortgage business, the largest in the U.S. by volume, earned $1.05 billion in fees in the third quarter, down 37% from the $1.67 billion it earned in the year-ago period. The bank extended $59 billion in home loans between the end of June and the end of September, compared with $70 billion in the third quarter of 2016 and $56 billion in the second quarter of 2017.
Costs at Wells Fargo increased 8% to $14.35 billion in the third quarter of 2016. Expenses as a share of revenue in the third quarter was 65.5% because of the $1 billion litigation accrual. That is well above the new target of 60% to 61% set at an investor presentation in May.
Mr. Sloan said in mid-September that third-party expense, including that related to the sales scandal, is expected to remain high in the third quarter before an anticipated decline in the fourth quarter.
Total loans at the end of the third quarter for Wells Fargo tallied $951.87 billion, a decrease from $961.3 billion in the same period a year ago. Commercial loans, which make up one of the largest part of the bank's total portfolio, were $500.15 billion, up about 1% from a year ago.
Big banks' loan growth was expected to soften, especially in commercial and industrial lending, based on Federal Reserve loan data. Overall, rates also remain relatively low, an environment in which Wells Fargo and its peers don't earn as much money by lending out their vast deposits.
Despite overall loan growth, Wells Fargo reported that the profitability of its lending activities continued to be challenged. Its net interest margin, a measure of how profitably it can lend out its customers' deposits, fell to 2.87% from 2.90% at the end of June and 2.82% in the year-ago third quarter.

From the perspective of the men in charge at the UCI he Armstrong interview couldn't really have gone any better. He admitted doping, said the UCI had not covered up for him, and even endorsed the UCI's Biological Passport Programme as having transformed the landscape for serial dopers like himself. All of this was reflected in UCI president Pat McQuaid's comments on the interview:
"Lance Armstrong's decision finally to confront his past is an important step forward on the long road to repairing the damage that has been caused to cycling and to restoring confidence in the sport," he said.
"Lance Armstrong has confirmed there was no collusion or conspiracy between the UCI and Lance Armstrong. There were no positive tests which were covered up and he has confirmed that the donations made to the UCI were to assist in the fight against doping.
"It was disturbing to watch him describe a litany of offences including among others doping throughout his career, leading a team that doped, bullying, consistently lying to everyone and producing a backdated medical prescription to justify a test result.
"However, Lance Armstrong also rightly said that cycling is a completely different sport today than it was 10 years ago. In particular the UCI's introduction of the biological passport in 2008 – the first sports federation to do so - has made a real difference in the fight against doping.
Some might wonder whether the UCI should set any store by the endorsement of their programme's effectiveness by a self confessed doper and bully, with a win at all costs mentality, and a vested interest in the public efficacy of the programme given his assertion that he raced clean during his comeback.
It is also worth noting that the UCI President had nothing to say about Armstrong's assertion in the interview that his controversial donation to the UCI was made at the UCI's suggestion and not his. Maybe that was too difficult an issue to deal with at four in the morning.
McQuaid's final comment in which he "welcomed" Armstrong's offer to take part in a truth and reconciliation process underlines the organisation's continually evolving position on such a process, one day in favour, then against, then in favour again - with certain conditions. But more on that later.
Plucked from the obscurity of his London commute back in the mid-Nineties to live in Bath and edit bike mags our man made the jump to the interweb back in 2006 as launch editor of a large cycling website somewhat confusingly named after a piece of navigational equipment. He came up with the idea for road.cc mainly to avoid being told what to do… Oh dear, issues there then. Tony tries to ride his bike every day and if he doesn't he gets grumpy, he likes carbon, but owns steel, and wants titanium. When not on his bike or eating cake Tony spends his time looking for new ways to annoy the road.cc team. He's remarkably good at it.

Union Township writes some of the most DWIs in all of Union County, which should be no surprise given the amount of major roads and highways that crisscross through the town. If you are ticketed for a DWI then you will be summoned to appear in Union Township municipal court. Although a charge of driving while intoxicated is considered a motor vehicle violation, the consequences can be extremely harsh. A conviction for DUI will result in a mandatory loss of license, and possibly an ignition interlock device, thousands in fines and surcharges, community service, and mandatory drunk driving classes. Hiring the right attorney may be the most important decision you make during this entire process. Founding attorney, William A. Proetta, has successfully represented hundreds of clients against DUI charges throughout New Jersey including Union Township. He knows the courts and he knows how the system works. Let us put our knowledge and experience to work for you. If you would like to discuss the details of your case and our firm's potential representation contact our office today at (908) 838-0150 for a free consultation with an experienced defense attorney.
Major Roadways for DWI Stops in Union Township
Union is traversed by a network of local and regional roadways including:
- Garden State Parkway
- Interstate 78
- U.S. Route 22
- Route 82 (Morris Ave)
These roadways are patrolled by combination of Union Township police, New Jersey State Troopers, and Union County police which contribute to the large amount of DWI tickets in Union each year. However, no matter which agency stops you, if you are arrested in Union Township for driving while intoxicated, you will have to appear in Union Township Municipal Court to address your charges.
Union New Jersey DUI Attorneys
New Jersey municipal prosecutors are under strict guidelines from the administrative office of the courts (AOC) to prosecute DWI charges to the fullest extent and not offer any plea negotiations. For obvious reasons this can make getting a "good deal" very hard for the average defendant. That is why at the Proetta & Oliver we concentrate in pinpointing technicalities in the state's case and exploit the weaknesses so the prosecution cannot establish the elements of the statute. This allows us to often work out extraordinary results for our clients. Will Proetta pulls from his expertise as a certified instructor for Standard Field Sobriety Testing and as a certified operator of the Alcotest machine – credentials that few attorneys in the entire state of New Jersey share. To learn more about how we can help you, contact our office at (908) 838-0150 to speak with a defense attorney for a free initial consultation. Our representatives are available 24 hours a day.

What I believe to be true .
I've been thinking a lot lately about what my "truth" is. I don't mean in an Oprah kind of way either.
More like, what are the beliefs that I live my life by.
What do you believe in ? What thoughts are the back bone of your belief system ?
Today, I'm sharing my funny, yet brutally honest, ideas that will help you get to know me better.
This my short and sweet version of life lessons learned as a health coach, solopreneur and woman in the modern world.
What I believe to be true:
Focusing 100% on your business will not make you successful. You need self care and time for fun to take it to the next level.
The CIA should use diets as a torture technique.
When you create a regular schedule you will feel more in control of your free time. (Your brain will actually turn off )
No one way of doing anything works for everyone. (Especially eating)
You can have your cake and eat it too. Just make sure it's only 20% of what you eat and you'll be fine.
Women take on extra tasks (busyness), pick up addictions (ie facebook, instagram, pinterest, alcohol ) and emotional eat to avoid feeling those shitty feelings that creep up.
Love yourself first and the rest will follow.
If you listen to your cravings and feelings, you will know exactly what you need to do to be happy.
Your secret to losing weight isn't in what you eat, it's your level of fulfillment. Get out and have some fun!
Movement is the key to feeling younger.
Figure out what isn't working for you and do the opposite = instant moment of taking your power back.
Focus on being awesome at being you and not a shitty version of someone else.
No one wants to make change alone. Get support. Find your biz bff or hire a coach.

There have been a lot of instances lately where my boy uses a word or phrase in a completely wrong context. He gives us some good laughs. I think his vocabulary is growing faster than his brain because he hears many things and he begins incorporating new words and phrases into his sentences before he even knows what they really mean.
Here is one example.
He and his sweet sister were playing the classic game of jump-off-the-table-onto-the-cushions. So much fun, right? Every kid loves this. Sweet N wouldn't exactly jump off, but H would hold her hand and then she'd kinda step off the stool and hit the ground. It was super cute.
But after one particular jump my boy looked at me like this.
"I twisted my ankle right here Mommy" (tapping the top of his head). Then later he 'twisted his ankle' on his elbow and then 'twisted his ankle' on his knee… Ha! Where did the boy even hear 'twisted my ankle?" I don't know! But he apparently wanted to try that new phrase out that day…
This boy is the best!

Such as, individuals who like to become on their own notebook to confirm stats while viewing sports might want a notebook. Also, considering about whether this pc will be utilized primarily for operate or entertainment could be essential for determining the power necessary.
Next, think about computing power required. That's where the typical user begins to get slightly baffled when GHz and Ram memory start making thrown around. The secret's to consider what you realized in the first tip to determine what applications you'll be utilizing the most. If all you are doing is surfing the net and looking at your fantasy football team, it might not be essential to obtain the strongest and quickest pc out there. If there are specific applications becoming utilised, look into the suggested specifications for those software programs and go a bit over those features.

Why is there a need for an organization like GO?
The reality of the new information and technological age is that the world is changing incredibly fast. The new industrial revolution is again changing our information technologies and our energy and logistics systems. We are transitioning from a world of telephony, oil and the internal combustion engine to an automated future of the 'internet of things', renewable energy and self-driving electric vehicles. In general, that change is important – it means that the world becomes a better place – and it is our responsibility to keep up with it. How we decide to anticipate and integrate automated and disruptive technologies, however, will decide if this future addresses systemic economic issues such as income inequality, artificial scarcity and employment disruptions due to machine intelligence; with social innovation and entrepreneurship, we can ensure that this happens in the best interests of everyone in our communities.
GO is a way to make this happen. The GO Technology Foundation is an umbrella organization for high-tech best-practice businesses and directs resources from profitable revenue streams back into the community, reinvesting in further high-tech infrastructure and enabling future technologies and industries. Along with valuable partnerships and collaborations with other community organizations and businesses, government agencies, and academic institutions, GO creates advanced technical jobs and training opportunities, and helps to foster creative innovation and the transition to an inventive knowledge-based economy.
In addition, through years of initial discussions regarding GO, one of the biggest needs identified was for a new language that the community can use to describe renewable energy and automated technologies, and community-based, socially minded businesses. Equipping our community with this language will help everyone to share in the vision, allow people to describe and discuss the future they are looking for, and enable GO to provide the leadership and opportunities to get us there.

By Gilbert Kreijger and Thomas Escritt
THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The Dutch government will resign on Monday in a crisis over budget cuts, spelling the end of a coalition which has strongly backed a European Union fiscal treaty and lectured Greece on getting its finances in order.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte will write to parliament later in the day offering the resignation of his cabinet, which relies on the populist Freedom Party to pass legislation, two sources told Reuters, opening the way for almost inevitable new elections.
Political turmoil in what is traditionally one of the euro zone's most stable and prosperous members jolted financial markets, already worried that the Socialist frontrunner in French elections has promised to renegotiate the agreement to ensure fiscal stability if he wins the presidency next month.
The crisis marks an embarrassing setback for Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager, who has taken a tough line with euro zone "budget sinners" such as Greece, saying it should be denied international aid unless it gets its fiscal house in order.
But De Jager promised to keep fighting to cut the deficit and dismissed comparisons with the region's sickest economies. "The Netherlands will retain its solid fiscal policy and will also show the market it will lower its deficit and also have a path of sustainable government finances," he told Reuters.
"There is no correlation whatsoever between the Netherlands and the countries of southern Europe. (Our) sovereign debt is in the region of 65 percent (of total economic output), which is way below the euro zone average," De Jager said.
Greece, by comparison, aims to cut its debts to 120 percent of gross domestic product by 2020 from a towering 160 percent.
The Dutch row erupted at the weekend when the anti-EU Freedom Party refused to agree with Rutte's centre-right coalition on how to cut 14 to 16 billion euros from the budget and get the Dutch deficit down to the EU target next year.
Earlier, a junior minister suggested new elections were nearly certain. "I assume it is inevitable," deputy foreign minister Ben Knapen told Dutch news program RTL Z.
"It is important that everyone who bears responsibility stays calms and makes sure we get an orderly budget. We do have big problems," Knapen said before he entered a cabinet meeting.
Elections cannot be held until July at the earliest and are unlikely until after the summer holidays - long after an April 30 deadline when the Netherlands and most other EU countries, must tell Brussels how they will cut their budget deficits.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso made clear the Dutch had to meet their targets. "We fully expect that the Dutch authorities will find a solution that ensures the financial stability of the country and the wellbeing of its citizens," he told Reuters on a visit to Copenhagen.
"I am confident that a solution can be found."
The failure of Rutte, whose coalition has been in power since October 2010, to win agreement on cutting the deficit next year to the EU's ceiling of three percent of GDP drew withering comment in Brussels.
"First you have a big mouth towards budget offenders and then you yourself can't deliver, and instead have to have new elections only one-and-a-half years after the new government took office," said one Brussels-based diplomat.
The Netherlands has been close to Germany in calling for austerity across the euro zone, and in supporting the EU fiscal pact which must win ratification by the end of the year in the 25 EU countries whose governments signed up to the treaty.
With elections unlikely before September or October, Rutte may try to cobble together an agreement with opposition parties as a caretaker prime minister to meet the deadline at the end of this month.
Investors sold Dutch and peripheral euro zone bonds on Monday, driving yields on debt issued by struggling Spain above 6 percent. The premium investors demand to hold Dutch bonds rather than German benchmarks surged to its highest in three years.
The Dutch crisis flared at a time of wobbling support for the EU fiscal pact.
The Socialist frontrunner to win the French presidential election runoff next month, Francois Hollande, has promised to renegotiate the agreement. This has alarmed financial markets, which fear he could throw the EU's commitment to fiscal discipline into question, although his aides say he will not try to pick the treaty apart.
France has already lost its triple-A credit rating and the Netherlands may follow suit if it fails to make the budget cuts.
"Our competitiveness, credibility and triple-A status are at risk because Wilders has walked away. That is very costly. The interest rate on our state bonds can run up," former Dutch minister and current European Commissioner Neelie Kroes was quoted as saying in Dutch daily De Telegraaf.
The cost of insuring Dutch debt against default rose to its highest since mid-December. Dutch five-year credit default swaps rose 9 basis points to 128 bps after the failure to agree on the budget with Wilders, whose party is outside the coalition.

i'm nowhere near so talented and would never pretend to be
I'm going to venture into romance for the first time ever and I will not cheat with classics this time. Thankfully, Maria Helena from marelden kindly recommended a good book to start: Robyn Carr's Virgin River. I see Robyn Carr is a super famous romance author and she has lots of books, so I won't run out of reading material if I enjoy this series!
As far as I know, most romance deal with heternormative relationships, but I also want to explore other kinds of love that don't get as much representation in mainstream media: LGBT.
A possible reading list (
- Virgin River - Robyn Carr
- A Rogue by Any Other Name - Sarah MacLean
- Blue is the Warmest Color - Julie Maroh
- Paper Towns - John Green
- Rubyfruit Jungle - Rita Mae Brown
- Fingersmith or Tipping the Velvet - Sarah Waters
- The City and the Pillar - Gore Vidal
- The Secret Lives of People in Love - Simon Van Booy
If you want to join me, please do so! It will be great to discuss what we read and discover new books.

Seeing complementaries in doing social works, the HBU and KUDOS (Kabataan Union for Developed and Organized Society) in Cabatuan, the latter as headed by Mr. Cliff Jim Gallego, has formed a partnership.

Constructed in the same brass alloy as the Series III, they are quick responding with a full sound. They combine the quick response of the Series III with the resonant properties of the best Series II saxophones. The key ergonomics are also greatly improved over generations past.

ENGLAND are too young to win the World Cup this year - but could go all the way in 2006, according to Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier.
The Frenchman (left), who managed his country for two years and laid the foundations of their 1998 World Cup-winning side, believes England's relative youth could hamper their bid for glory in Japan and South Korea.
He said: "I think England have a better chance in 2006 than this time around in Korea and Japan.
"I say this because they have a great generation of players who are between the ages of 18 and 23, and also some who are 24 or 25.
"I know from my own experience that the team that wins the World Cup is usually the one that has a group of players who are around the ages of 28 or 29. This was the case when France won the World Cup last time.
"England will have that in 2006 - and that is why I think they will probably make more of an impact then. I also think they will be more competitive in Euro 2004."

With beautiful Cotswold villages and country houses, Gloucestershire is a beautiful county to explore. The main city of Gloucester is best known for its historic docks and for the cathedral. The National Waterways Museum is another attraction in Gloucester. Nearby Roman Cirencester has a museum dedicated to the archaeology found in the area and is a charming market town.
In Tewkesbury the old hill town is a delight to wander the streets and has one of the finest Norman Abbeys in England. Spend time in Regency Cheltenham with its fine shops, the Pitville Pump Rooms, and enjoy a day at the races, perhaps at the famous Cheltenham Gold Cup. Rural Gloucestershire is simply delightful with villages like Hawkesbury Upton and Bourton on the Water. At Badminton the famous horse trials take place and in Tetbury the charm of rural craftsmanship is at its best. Highgrove House, home of the Prince of Wales is also in Gloucestershire.

LendInk, however, was maybe, not quite, a pirate site. It was a book loaning service.
A what?
Once I saw my books on the site, I was concerned, but did nothing immediately. I wanted more information, and didn't have the time to do research. Like many authors, I wasn't sure exactly what to make of LendInk. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and libraries loan books, so what's the big deal with this site doing the same thing?
Now, even after reading several articles about the whole debacle, I'm still confused as to what precisely LendInk did with my books. The two pieces below nicely sum up this incident, with a slant towards admonishing folks not to go off the deep end and let mob mentality take over.
As I said before, writers don't like pirates. Perhaps we can be forgiven for reacting with such passion. Our books are the way we make a living, and when it appears someone is stealing from us, we tend to get emotional.
Here is what you'll find if you go to the website now. It will be interesting to see what, if anything becomes of LendInk.

A collaboration between China and the United States, the first test flight using biofuel demonstration China launched the Beijing International Airport on October 28, 2011.
The airliner-type B747-400 – passenger transport – has been fueled with biodiesel from specific cooperation between PetroChina and Honeywell UOP.
In recent years, Air China has pledged to provide "green flights" with the key energy savings and emission reductions. Other measures such as the optimization of the fleet, a second control can improve the operation, to save on fuel and reduce exhaust emissions.
Air China set up the test system Energy and Environment (Energy and Environment Review System) in 2009. The company also launched its first 'green flight' in 2010, joined the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (SAFUG) and became the first airline to launch a test flight with biofuel demonstration in China in 2011.
Air China has a fleet of 290 Airbus and Boeing aircraft (including 280 passenger aircraft and 10 freighters), a trainer aircraft and six jets. With its accession to the Star Alliance, Air China offers flights to 1160 destinations in 181 countries since its airport located in central Beijing.

Oh very true, it's the same all over the world. Just glance at Britain with it's huge variety of dialects some almost mutually unintelligible and the Received Pronunciation that is a standard.
Look at how Arabic has evolved, with classical as a communicative language amonst the educated classes and the people speaking local variants. My daughter studied Classical Arabic as a hobby, went to Morocco with a friend and found that nobody really spoke what they had learned.
Rome must have been the same.

Protect yourself and your family
Being prepared can help reduce the impact of events on you and your loved ones, reduce the level of support you need from other people and the emergency services and enable you to support others.
There are many types of incident that may require us to leave our homes or cause disruption to our everyday lives. This includes emergencies such as a fire, gas explosion or flooding.
Recovery from an emergency can be a complex and long running process. A resilient community will not only be better prepared to respond at the time of an emergency, but will be better equipped to recover in the long term.
Protect your home
Home Emergency Action Plan
This booklet has been put together to give you some basic information on how you can help yourself and your family in emergencies.
Warning & Informing
The emergency services, local councils, the Environment Agency or local volunteers may relay information to your community. This may include advice on potential incidents and keeping you safe, as well as particular areas to avoid.
Go In, Stay In, Tune In
In the event of an emergency, keeping safe is important. Tuning in to your local radio station as well as using social media, such as Twitter and Facebook pages of your local fire or police force, will help you keep informed and safe.
Protect your business
The LRF also works directly with businesses and other local organisations to improve their resilience.
More information will be transferred to Dorset Prepared site in the future, but for now please make use of the excellent resources available on the BH Continuity Forum website.
Although this site is Bournemouth focused, there is useful information and downloadable tools that can be used across Dorset.
How LRF members help protect you
Preparing for emergencies
Most emergencies are dealt with by the emergency services but occasionally an incident is more serious and requires them to work together, or with other organisations.
Training & Exercising
Training and exercising tests plans that are developed across the LRF and builds the skills responders need for the variety of challenges they may face.
Learning from emergencies
Multi-agency emergencies are thankfully rare. However, when they do happen, it's essential we learn as much as possible from them to prepare for the future.
Voluntary Organisations
Groups of independent organisations who help to support the main responders, before, during and after emergencies.

This post may contain affiliate links.
If you buy something from one of the linked sites you won't pay anything more, but I might make a commission.
[The following post is sponsored by TiVo, a company I love and am thrilled to be working with.]
I've been lucky enough to work with TiVo for several years now, but my relationship with TiVo goes back much further than that. I remember reading a little article in a magazine – just a few sentences – about a company that was developing a video recorder with memory inside. Someday, it said, I would no longer have to juggle video tapes in order to record my shows.
I had to wait a few years, but when TiVo finally got some products to the market I bought one of their first DVRs. It got its programming information by plugging into a phone line. It was revolutionary.
Fast forward more than a decade, and TiVo has come a long way. My TiVo boxes now talk to each other through the Cat5 wiring in my house (this can also be done with coaxial cable), and I can pause a show in one room and start watching it again in another room. I can control my TiVo when I'm not home, with their app. I can watch all of my shows anywhere in my house on a smartphone or tablet, and I can even transfer some shows to my iPod or computer to watch away from home.
And, of course, I can do what TiVo was originally invented to do: I can record my shows and watch them later, on my own schedule. And thanks to the size of the hard drives of my TiVos, I can record a LOT of shows.
I don't really do Holiday Guides, unless they're supposed to be funny. Instead, I like to focus on one product at a time that I own and love. If you want to get a great gift for a TV lover, a TiVo is a fantastic choice!
As someone who has been using cable company DVRs side-by-side with TiVo for years, I can tell you that there are huge advantages to a TiVo. The biggest one is simply better software. There are things that get glitchy with my cable DVRs that simply don't happen with TiVo. TiVo boxes are the most reliable boxes I've ever used.
Another advantage is portability. With TiVo Stream, built into the Roamio Plus and Roamio Pro, I can stream live and recorded shows anywhere in my house and backyard, through my WiFi. I can have my iPad showing Good Morning America in the bathroom as I get ready in the morning. I can watch the episode of The Good Wife that I recorded Sunday night in my basement on Monday morning, while I'm on my treadmill. And I can send the kids to other parts of the house to watch their favorite shows when I want the big TV to watch an awards show.
TiVo also turns your regular TV into a connected TV, letting you access Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and more. In fact, when you search for a show you don't just get channel information, you also see if it's available on those other services!!
Thanks to TiVo's awesome search abilities I know that I can satisfy my West Wing addiction on Amazon Prime, Vudu, and Netflix
And what about people who don't want to pay for cable? TiVo has you covered there as well with the TiVo Roamio OTA (Over The Air). Connect to your HD antenna and you can record up to four HD shows at once. Connect to broadband and you can access Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services.
If you're looking for a showpiece gift that could make someone very very happy on Christmas morning, TiVo is a great choice. And, if you order from TiVo.com by noon on December 16th you can get free shipping in time for Christmas!! You can also save up to $100 off of a Roamio until January 5th.
Happy shopping!

All Yahoo Account Were Hacked
Three billion Yahoo accounts — including email, Tumblr, Fantasy, and Flickr — or three times as many as the company initially reported in 2016 were hacked.
Names, email addresses, and passwords, but not financial information, were breached, Yahoo said last year
The new disclosure comes four months after Verizon (VZ, Tech30) acquired Yahoo's core internet assets for $4.48 billion. Yahoo is part of Verizon's digital media company, which is called Oath.
Verizon revised the number of breached accounts to three billion after receiving new information.
"The company recently obtained new intelligence and now believes, following an investigation with the assistance of outside forensic experts, that all Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft," Verizon said in a statement.
Verizon would not provide any information about who the outside forensics experts are.
Yahoo will send emails to the additional affected accounts. Following the hacking revelations last year, Yahoo required password changes and invalidated unencrypted security questions to protect user information.
According to experts, it's not uncommon for forensic investigations to expose a greater number of victims than initial estimates.

Zora Mann
Opening April 25, 2015 at 7 pm
Until June 6, 2015
Chert gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Zora Mann 'Coagula', opening reception on Saturday the 25th of April, 2015.
Zora Star Cahusac Mann was born in Amersham UK in 1979, from African parents (her mother from Uganda and father from Kenya). She grew up travelling, between Europe, Africa and America, where her family moved during her infancy following a hippie movement.
After relocating in Germany, at age 13, she started a modelling career which continued successfully for many years, when she decided to quit with the fashion business and study art.
References of her past life experiences emerge in her work: tribal art, African decorations, intuitive patterns, subconscious and dreamy-like images, colourful motives, ornamentals models, all of her works carry references to her personal journey through many different places and cultures.
All the pieces presented in the exhibition show different aspects of her cultural heritage. From the shields that are decorated with abstract patterns, the curtain which substitute one private door of the gallery, is made out of recycled flip-flops that are found littered on beaches and in waterways of Kenya. Flip-flops are a major marine pollutant on the Indian Ocean beaches and nowadays there are several artisans in Kenya working on a recycling project of these materials. These projects started in late nineties initiated by a marine conservationist called Julie Church.
The varieties of flip-flops are collected, cleaned and cut into small rounded pieces, which the artist then strung together to form a mosaic-like painting.
The space downstairs is mostly occupied by a wall painting that continues to reflect her ornate decorative art. The scenario includes abstracts patterns together with more recognisable figures, like leaves, eyes, hands…
The title of the piece 'Who Are The Dolphins?' refers to a shamanic movements linked to the website 'treeofthegoldenlight', who believes that the Dolphins are Aliens and that they will save the world.


text: Spending Trends 1996 – 2013: Health Care for Children Spending on health care for children has risen in the past 20 years and a new article sheds light on where the money goes. Frank Magliochetti Personal health care spending for children skyrocketed 56 percent between 1996 and 2013, according to a new study published online by JAMA Pediatrics. Increased spending in health care for children reflects the increased spending for patients of all ages, according to the statistics presented by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The United States spent about $3.2 trillion for health care in 2015, or $9,990 per person, up 5.8 percent from the year before. Spending Trends for Children's Personal Health Care in the U.S., 1996 - 2013 While health care spending on children continues to rise, there is very little data on differences in spending for specific conditions, age groups, gender, and type of care. There is also a paucity of information on how spending patterns have changed over the years. To shed light on these spending patterns, Joseph L. Dieleman, Ph.D., of the University of Washington, Seattle, and his team of researchers used 183 sources of data and 2.9 billion patient records gathered from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation Disease Expenditure 2013 project database. They performed annual estimates for each year from 1996 through 2013 and used inflation-adjusted 2015 dollars to report estimates. They found that spending for pediatric health care increased from $149.6 billion in 1996 to $233.5 billion in 2013. Spending per child rose from $1,915 in 1996 to $2,777 in 2013. Most of the money went for well-newborn care in inpatient settings, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and well-dental care. Payers spent $27.9 billion for inpatient well-newborn care, which was the largest condition leading to health care spending. ADHD and well-dental care services were the second and third largest conditions leading to health care spending in children, with $20.6 billion for ADHD care and $18.2 billion for well-dental care. At $9 billion, asthma care garnered the fourth highest level of spending. The researchers found that, at $11,741, the greatest spending per child was for infants younger than 1 year in 2013. Spending per child increased over time, rising from $1915 in 1996 to $2777 in 2013. Ambulatory care among all types of care and inpatient well-newborn care, ADHD, and asthma showed the greatest growth. Just over 30 percent of total children's health care went for inpatient care, 38.6 percent went towards ambulatory care, and 7.8 percent was spent on retail pharmaceuticals in 2013. More was spent on males than on females. The findings provide information about spending trends for child health care and serve as a guide for future spending. Payers can expect larger health care spending growth rates for inpatient well-newborn care and ADHD, for example, while health care professionals can gear up to provide an increased amount of care for these conditions. "The next step should be analyzing the factors driving increased health care spending and determining whether changes in particular subcategories of spending have been associated with improvements in processes or outcomes. It is crucial to understand whether spending increases have been appropriate or misguided and how we might target spending increases and reductions now and in the future," the authors conclude in a press release.

Wonder Woman 2: Jenkins Clarifies She HASN'T Signed On Yet
Although recent comments by Patty Jenkins were widely interpreted on Thursday to mean she's signed on for the sequel to Wonder Woman, the director was quick to clarify that's not the case — at least not yet.
"Hey All. Thanks for the excitement but that wasn't a confirmation," the filmmaker tweeted Thursday evening. "Just talking about ideas and hopes. But still excited and hopeful."
RELATED: Jenkins & Johns Already Writing Wonder Woman 2 Treatment
As reported hours earlier by the Advocate from a Q&A following a Women in Film screening of Wonder Woman, Jenkins told the audience, ""I had an epiphany about Wonder Woman 2. I was like, you don't have to do this. It doesn't have to be a foregone conclusion that you do Wonder Woman 2. But then as I was falling asleep I had an epiphany. I was like, wait a minute. You have the greatest character of all time that you love dearly, with a cast that you love sitting at the palm of your hand at this day and age — you can do whatever you want with them — are you crazy? And then I suddenly realized, it's not more, it's another movie. It's its own movie. And it's got to be great."
In this case, however, an epiphany doesn't equal an agreement with Warner Bros. Although Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot is signed to a multi-picture deal — she debuted as Diana in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and will return later this year in Justice League — Jenkins' contract was for just the first film. She's widely expected to helm the sequel, and DC Entertainment President and CCO Geoff Johns revealed he's begun working with her on the story treatment, but apparently no contract is in place.

Now the top-grossing film domestically in the DC Extended Universe, Wonder Woman has grossed more than $663 million worldwide.
In theaters now, the film stars Gal Gadot as Diana, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright as General Antiope, Danny Huston as General Erich Ludendorff, David Thewlis as Ares, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Elena Anaya as Doctor Poison and Lucy Davis as Etta Candy.

On May 6, 2008, reports indicated that US national Emanuel Zeltser was detained when he flew in to Belarus on March 12, 2008. He was held in a state security services detention facility in the capital, Minsk, where according to his lawyer he has been interrogated and beaten, and has been denied the medicine he needs urgently to treat his diabetes and arthritis
On March 21, 2008, he was charged with "use of forged documents." The US Embassy in Minsk had been allowed to visit him only twice, on March 27 and April 25. After the second visit, the US Consul reported that Emanuel Zeltser's health was failing, noting that he had lost weight, was very weak and had difficulty walking and talking, and that he had been beaten two or three times while in custody.
According to reports, Mr. Zeltser is a lawyer and a specialist on money laundering and organized crime. In 1999 he testified before the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services regarding the estimated $10 billion money-laundering scheme at the Bank of New York, which is now known as Bank of New York Mellon. He also sued the bank for $2 billion on behalf of depositors who had lost money in an affiliate.
In the late 1990s, Emanuel Zeltser also represented a former Kremlin official, Pavel Borodin, when Borodin was charged by a Swiss court with money laundering.
In June 2008, the Law Society sent letters of intervention to the government of Belarus.

The top 6 NIH-funded research projects at UWM
Lab has made the list of top 6 NIH-funded research studies here at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee! Check out more information and the other top funded projects here
Research shows negative effect marijuana has on development of teens
Dr. Lisdahl was interviewed on WISCtv!
Krista Lisdahl has been analyzing brain scans of 200 teens and young adults trying to determine the impact of smoking marijuana on a regular basis.
"What we see is that increased marijuana use, especially daily use, is associated with cognitive problems like slowed processing speed, poor complex attentions. They can memorize a phone number and things like that, but sustaining their attention over time is more difficult and there are also memory problems," said Lisdahl, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Click here to watch the full interview.
UWM Foundation Research Award
Dr. Lisdahl received a UWM Foundation Research Award!
Krista Lisdahl is advancing our understanding of how chronic drug use effects the brains of adolescents and young adults. With a unique, multidisciplinary approach integrating molecular genetics, brain structure and function, and behavior, her lab aims to better understand the cognitive consequences of a chronic pot habit in the developing brain, and whether physical exercise can reduce or even prevent the damage, or decrease drug abuse.
The research also seeks more information about the process of connectivity in the maturing brain and the role of physical activity in that process.
Described by a department colleague as "truly cutting edge work," Lisdahl's research has garnered several national awards, perhaps most notably the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on professionals in the early stages of their research careers.
Lisdahl has published 30 peer reviewed articles and book chapters and has eight more under review or in progress. Seven of her publications have come since her arrival at UWM in 2011. Lisdahl has 59 papers or posters presented at conferences and 11 invited lectures at research institutions around the country. Her research has been funded by more than $2 million from the National Institutes of Health.
DTI data
DTI is an imaging technique that allows researchers to measure the quality of the white matter tracts, or the large connections between brain areas. We collect DTI data in our latest R01-funded study. Just recently, we analyzed it on some of our subjects; here are some images from that dataset! Click on each image to enlarge it.
Research Report 2013: Teen Brains on Pot
Our current study was featured in UWM's 2013 Research Report:
Teen Brains on Pot Marijuana is the No. 2 drug of choice among teens, behind alcohol, and its use has been increasing. With a prestigious grant that recognizes the nation's most promising young researchers, UWM's Krista Lisdahl is testing whether exercise could be brain-protective for young pot smokers.Read the rest of the article here.
Mini-Counseling Sessions Can Curb Problem Drinking
A new study shows short counseling sessions can curb problem drinking:
Brief counseling from primary care doctors reduces "risky" drinking, defined as having more than four drinks a day for men, three for women, a federal task force says.
UWM Today Radio Interview
Dr. Lisdahl was just interviewed by Tom Luljak on UWM Today. Listen to the radio interview here.
Dr. Lisdahl is awarded PECASE
Dr. Lisdahl was just awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Obama and the National Institute of Health (NIH). See the press release below!

Radio Interviews
Dr. Lisdahl has been interviewed on the radio several times about her research. Dr. Lisdahl was interviewed on the Ideas Network of Wisconsin Public Radio about the effects of binge drinking on adolescent brain development.
She was again interviewed about binge drinking in this five-minute segment.

Eden's Angela Gets A New Rather Skimpy Look
January 15, 2015 by dracs
Taban Miniatures have a new piece of concept art showing an alternate design for the Eden Convoy character Angela.
I have noted before that something about the post-apocalypse makes everyone's dress sense go a bit weird, and Angela is the perfect example. She has a corrugated metal mini-skirt! That has got to hurt.
This new concept shows Angela in a far more dynamic pose than her current model, depicted bringing her awesome axe about to cause some serious carnage.
If I am honest, I can't tell which of these designs I prefer. True, the concept is a more exciting with some great motion to it, but it also shows her rather knock-kneed, while the current model's more understated design actually makes her a bit more intimidating. We will have to wait for the final model to see how they compare.
Which do you prefer for your games of Eden?

The OLD BRIDGE
Wine Shop
The OLD BRIDGE Wine Shop
At every price level, an outstanding selection of wines chosen by John Hoskins MW
LA VIDA AL CAMP, Brut. Penedes, SpainOrganic
Bin: 18
Alcohol Percentage: 11.5%
Area: The vineyards are located in the village of Cantallops, part of the municipality of Avinyonet del Penedés, in the Alt Penedés region close to the Serra del Ordal mountains
Grape Variety: 45% Macabeo, 45% Xarello, 10% Parellada; second fermentation in bottle (as for Champagne), with 15 month maturation on the lees
Producer: Owned by the Raventós family, behind the massive Codorniu, La Vida al Camp has been developed as a separate project to create a Cava with a sense of place. Accordiing to their website "the name comes from 'La Vida al Camp memories d'un Cabaler', a book written by Jaume Raventos about life in and around his estate at Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, in the heart of Penedés at the end of the nineteenth century"
Old Bridge Rating: We have not used the word Cava on the main description. The general impression of Cava is so poor in the UK that we felt it would be great if you could put that to one side when considering this wine. Its freshness and lightness is so charming that (but for the name and the image) our Prosecco sales should really be under threat! And at only 7 g/l, the final sugar level is much lower than for most Prosecco - making for a cleaner, more refreshing drink
