Of course some will always want more and while we advise you stick with just testosterone there are additions that can be made safely. One option would be to stack Dianabol with your testosterone the first 4-6 weeks of the testosterone cycle. Another option would be to stack Winstrol the last 6 weeks of the cycle and depending on your goals this will determine which one of these steroids you choose. It is however not recommended that you choose both as both are highly liver toxic and both could bring too much undue stress to the liver. Sample outlines of such beginner steroid cycles might look like this:

Purchasing a futon mattress is an excellent option. A futon mattress can be used throughout the day being a couch and will make an excellent mattress for resting on. However, before purchasing you need to know what futon mattress characteristics to look for.
It isn't the framework of a futon mattress than offers the convenience; it's the futon mattress. In the event you haven't but purchased your futon mattress you need to be conscious that futon mattresses are available in two forms; bi-collapse and tri-collapse. A bi-collapse futon mattress folds up the mattress in two while a tri-collapse futon mattress folds up the mattress into thirds. Which means that a tri-collapse futon mattress isn't as heavy or as encouraging being a bi-collapse futon mattress. Consequently, if you're going to be utilizing your futon a great deal for resting on, then a bi-collapse futon mattress is a much better option.
A futon mattress can be identified using the subsequent characteristics: bodyweight, firmness, firmness, and versatility.
A lighter in weight futon mattress is a great choice as long because it provides the convenience you want. If you're planning on utilizing your futon primarily being a mattress then a weightier futon mattress is generally going to be best option.
Firmness is a way of measuring of the "feel" or "give" of the soft or firm mattress-inquirer rated itemwhen used being a resting or seated surface. This high-quality is what people determine as 'comfortable'.
Firmness is the capability of the futon mattress to keep its form together its advantage when becoming used being a mattress or couch. Firmness of a futon mattress is more essential once the futon is becoming used primarily being a couch.
Versatility essentially describes how simple foldable the futon mattress is going to be. In the event you are going to foldable the mattress every day from couch to mattress back to couch once again, then purchasing a futon mattress having a great deal of versatility is sensible.
Futon mattresses are produced from an assortment of components. The different components used in futon mattresses will immediately affect the four characteristics of bodyweight, firmness, firmness, and versatility. These is a tough manual as to the characteristics of futon mattresses produced from completely natural cotton, natural cotton and foam, natural cotton and polyester, completely polyester, and innerspring.
Futon mattresses produced from completely natural cotton are in the weightier finish of the level, as is its firmness and versatility. However, the firmness is quite reduced. A futon mattress produced from a mix of natural cotton and foam is lighter and less firm than that of one produced from completely natural cotton. The firmness of a natural cotton and foam futon mattress is quite higher, so is perfect for futons that are going to be used primarily being a couch.
Futon mattresses are a favorite option for numerous customers expected to their versatility of functionality. Before purchasing a best rated futon,mattress ensure that the characteristics – mentioned previously – of the mattress are what you need. In the event you know precisely what you want before you purchase you are going to steer clear of becoming dissatisfied using the buy of your futon mattress.

In terms of customer service, there's an old saying that states the customer is always right. However, not every person working with the public feels that way. A McDonald's manager was fired after a heated incident last weekend in Dearborn was captured on video. Apparently, the manager became so heated that she yelled at a drive-thru customer and tried to grab his phone as he continued to record.
Working with the public in the fast food industry is not an easy task. It can be a pretty stressful environment and customers can push you to the edge, however, employees are encouraged to still deliver service with a smile.
Service With A Smile:
Dearborn, Michigan man, Tyler Lamb, attends the same Mc'Donald's all the time. However, he revealed on camera that there is always something wrong with his order. Instead of offering to correct the mistake, the manager on duty asked him why he continued to return. Apparently, Lamb stopped by the same Mc'Donald's that often gets his order wrong. When Lamb approached the drive-thru window to complain about his missing items, Lamb was told to call the fast-food chain's corporate office.
It's unclear if Lamb wanted his money or not, per his Facebook page, he stated that he simply wanted his food replaced. On the video, the employee at the window apologized but told him she couldn't return his money. She said he could call corporate about it the next morning, according to the video which includes a racial slur from the McDonald's manager – posted on Tyler Lamb's Facebook page.
Sir I'm sorry. I understand your frustration. But our policy is that we can't give you money, the cashier said.
Frustrated with the customer's persistence, the manager stepped in front of her colleague and let him have.
Watch out, she said, lunging out of the window to grab at the phone. You gotta get me off your phone, for real. That's illegal…
The man drives off, saying, "All right, you're fired" and it looks like he was right.
McDonald's spokeswoman Leslie Pardo issued the following statement:
We have zero tolerance for any employee who disrespects our customers. We immediately terminated the manager upon learning of this incident. All personnel are trained to provide high-quality service to our valued customers.She said the manager was fired Monday afternoon, and the restaurant owner is contacting the customer Tuesday to apologize.

John BeckettCo-founder & CEO - ChannelSight
John Beckett can trace his entrepreneurial roots and passion back to his first venture – publishing 'Jokes and Puzzles' magazine at age 7. Due to distribution problems (not being allowed to cross the road), he decided to pivot and focus on building his technical skills from the confines of his bedroom.
After other ventures achieved varying degrees of success, while still in school in 2000 John beat competition from several international agencies to secure the contract to build the first Ryanair.com ecommerce booking website, an achievement he still manages to dine out on to this day due to the comically low amount he charged, coupled with the relative success of the project.
John went on to build his business organically with his self-hired development team in Malaysia, which would eventually reach almost 50 people, giving him an excuse to spend some time in warmer climes during winter. John also established or contributed to other small businesses over the next few years, including BuyIreland.com, which enables members of the Irish diaspora to own a small part of the homeland for under $50 and which has been profiled in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.
In 2006 John was awarded the All-Ireland Entrepreneur of the Year award after the Discovery Channel discovered his biometric technology and told the world all about it. The Data Protection Commissioner took issue with the idea however, and the hockey-stick growth that the business was beginning to achieve was smashed to splinters when the technology was incorrectly declared illegal and funding dried up before the business could defend itself and recover.
Motivated not least by the large personal guarantee he had provided to the bank, John co-founded Eirtight with Kieran Dundon in 2008. The duo set out to provide world-beating software engineering services to large organisations. Eirtight secured contracts with blue chip companies such as Dell, Fujitsu, Rabobank and many others, and scaled the business by focusing on sales-led growth and using lean startup principles to grow profitably. Eirtight now has offices in Dublin, London, Greece and Romania.
John co-founded and became CEO of ChannelSight in 2013, with the aim of helping large brands to maximise ecommerce conversion rates and gain insight into the real performance of their marketing campaigns. By again focusing on sales-led growth, ChannelSight won global contracts with Fortune 100 companies within months of being established and went on to form partnerships with leading global technology platforms and agencies.
As well as writing for various online/offline publications, updating his blog on johnbeckett.com and speaking at technology events such as the Web Summit and Digital Shoreditch, John was the resident technology expert for 2 years on TV3 in Ireland, and has appeared regularly on Newstalk 106FM to discuss startup and technology issues. John has also invested in and mentors early stage tech companies via a number of national and international organisations such as the National Digital Research Centre and Social Entrepreneurs Ireland.
John is a board member of the Irish International Business Network, sits on the Advisory Council of European Movement Ireland and has provided high-level technology consultancy to the governments of Jordan, Oman and Saudi Arabia. He was included on a list of Most Influential Irish Tech Entrepreneurs Under 40 in 2012.
John likes competitive sailing, long-distance running and great food and wine. Not usually at the same time though.

My current job offers great perks like major jewelry discounts and a flexible dress code, which means I wear workout clothes more days than not. They're practical for my position, and lets face it, they're comfortable.
But sometimes I miss actually getting ready for work and my collared shirt wearing days in the corporate world. So when the weekends come around I make an effort to wear all of my cute pieces that I avoid during the week like this collared shirt and dry-clean-only sweater. My work wear is rubbing off a little though; I stuck with sneakers for this look.
And how cute is this collar necklace I picked up from work? It's a Gorjana Shopbop exclusive and I wear it multiple ways.

HPC meets AI - a world of possibilities
Photo via Computerworld Australia.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform the technology landscape and touch almost every industry over the next 10 years.
That's according to a group of experts (from government, industry and academia), who gathered in Sydney for an exclusive Computerworld and Lenovo Roundtable lunch to discuss the implications of AI and the emerging use cases.
Certainly, no domain of computing will escape the transformation, including high-performance computing (HPC), and there's a definite link between AI and HPC, according to Lenovo enterprise solutions architect Joao Almeida.
Indeed, the marriage of HPC and AI has already taken place, he noted. The rapid emergence and adoption of AI is creating a world of opportunities for both scientific research and businesses.
Asked 'why now' and why it's important, particularly for business, Almeida said companies are now starting to see the true business value of the technology - particularly the ability to automate routine processes, improve overall business efficiencies, upskill the workforce and transform the user experience.
"It became important quite a long time ago, but the markets and the enterprise, in particular, has only now started to come across it and are seeing possible business value out of it. Research in AI has been going on for a very long time and it has always been very close to HPC."
Asked just how close, Almeida said HPC is the engine that helps deliver the promise of AI - the technological building blocks that help make it all happen and fuel the possibilities.
"To actually build an AI something - and there are a lot of definitions for AI and machine learning (where it stops and when it starts) - you need to do a lot of work before you can actually use it," he explained.
"Normally, you have a lot of unstructured data - or structured data - that you put through a model and that requires a lot of computation. And techniques that came from HPC are used a lot in that part of the workflow. Technology developments like GPU usage on that modelling and training phase of AI has been using HPC for a very long time."
And while there's opportunity in every industry sector, the oil and gas market, in particular, is already latching onto the technology and realising tangible operational cost benefits, Almeida noted.
"Efficiencies, for example, is probably one of the areas where companies in the oil and gas industry can see the benefits. Improving efficiencies by one per cent is only possible if they have a very good AI model looking at millions and thousands of sensor data and creating models that can improve efficiencies."

Airlines should no longer allow children under the age of 2 to fly in the laps of adults, according to a recommendation by the National Transportation Safety Board sent to the Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday. The group urged the F.A.A. to require that every occupant of an airplane, regardless of age, have a seat on all flights — commercial, charter and private planes. In the letter, the board cited several accidents in which young travelers were injured or killed. While the N.T.S.B. says children under the age of 2 "should be afforded the same level of protection as all other persons," the F.A.A. has rejected the recommendation several times, saying that parents unable to afford tickets for their young children would opt to drive rather than fly, resulting in more highway fatalities.Continue reading the main story

Writtle axe for engineering
Writtle axe for engineering
WRITTLE College is discontinuing degree and HND courses in agricultural engineering to free up resources and finance for other educational faculties.
The college reports the agricultural engineering industry is experiencing major difficulties in attracting higher qualified students into the sector.
"We appreciate our students are keenly sought by the industry but unfortunately we cannot attract enough of them into the college," says college principal Prof Mike Alder. "We are expanding and investing in new faculties, and it is unfeasible to maintain uneconomic courses over a prolonged period."
Prof Alder says the college remains fully committed to its undergraduate engineering students who will receive full tuition and support until they graduate.
Further education courses, work-based learning schemes and short courses in mechanisation will still be on offer at Writtle. *

Copyrighting Recipes
Calling all food bloggers out there! The internet is full of gourmet chefs showcasing their latest unique recipe, and wanna-be-foodies simply copying recipes from their Ina Garten cookbook and calling it their own. So how do the truly innovative chefs keep their hard-earned recipes from being copied by imposters posting their recipes online without permission? You may be thinking copyright law, and you'd be partly right. Copyright law protects original works of authorship, which includes things like literary, musical, architectural works, and motion pictures. Copyright law does not cover any idea, procedure, process, system, concept, or principle. Unfortunately, copyright protection isn't really available for individual recipes. (See 17 U.S.C.A. § 101). Courts have held that individual recipes in a cookbook are not entitled to copyright protection, where recipes merely comprise of required ingredients and directions for combining them, without "expressive elaboration". Expressive elaboration like – this would be good with a Malbec and aged cheddar, with some Marvin Gaye in the background. Luckily, if you made a cookbook of multiple recipes, you're more likely to get protection. That's because copyright law seeks to protect creative expression, i.e. originality, and books meet that standard.
The Verdict: Even if it's not "illegal" to copy recipes, it's definitely bad form.
I love food and cooking, but I'm pretty amateur, so lots of times I'll start with a recipe and tweak it based on what I think it needs. For this chicken pot pie recipe I started with Weeknights with Giada's chicken pot pie recipe. I chopped up rotisserie chicken instead of using turkey, beefed up the vegetable portions, and used my great-grandma's pie recipe instead of store bought. (That time I did use store-bought crust Dave kindly informed me that he could tell the difference between my crust and Walmart's…I told dave KFC was also an option). But homemade crust is always better. Making individual pies is more time consuming, so if you want to just make one big pie you can do that too with this recipe.

Rachel Dolezal claiming to be black is no different than Bruce Jenner claiming to be a woman.
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|3 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|908 times
|Debate No:
Rachel Dolezal is an NAACP leader who was recently outed as being born white.
Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner is a former olympic athlete and reality TV star who recently underwent gender reassignment surgery.
First round is only acceptance and introduction.
I accept. Whether you agree of disagree with the actions of Rachel or Bruce/Caitlyn is not the issue. There are obvious differences between the motivations and actions in both cases. Thanks to Pro for setting up the debate.
In my view, it's really quite simple: The color of one's skin is purely a superficial difference, one's sex isn't. Studies have shown that there is virtually no difference in brain function between members of different races. In contrast, the brains of men and women are very different insofar as chemistry, structure, and processing. These differences are completely biological, and the brain of someone born male can never function like a female's, regardless of how they may 'feel'.
My bottom line is that Rachel Dolezal could realistically "feel" like a black woman, because the neurological differences between black women and white women are negligible, but it is unrealistic that Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner could actually feel like a woman, due to the differences inherited directly from his XY chromosome.
And just for the record, I don't care how Bruce Jenner chooses to live his life, I just think it is important that we don't lie to ourselves as a people.
Pro's arguments do not address the resolution. This is not a debate about which claim is more realistic. Pro asserted that the two claims were the same when there are fundamental differences.
Rachel lied about who she is.
The two claims are completely different. Rachel's claim was a lie while Caitlyn simply admitted to a feeling. Caitlyn did not lie about who she is and she does not deny reality. She has always acknowledged that she was born a man while being honest about the fact that she identifies as a woman. Caitlyn has only claimed to feel like she is a woman while Rachel claimed to be black. Simply admitting to a feeling is very different than claiming that you are, in fact, another race.
Rachel lived as a fraud for years
Rachel claimed to be black for years. She became an NAACP chapter president under false pretenses. Caitlyn only recently admitted identifying as a woman and did not live as a fraud.
Caitlyn is a woman.
Caitlyn is an anatomical woman. This alone makes the claims very different. Rachel is not black and will never be black. Caitlyn is in fact a woman so claiming to be a woman is accurate while Rachel claiming to be black is a lie.
Pro's resolution is indefensible.
There are obvious differences between the two claims. Even as Pro argues that claiming to be black is closer to reality (this does not support the resolution) than claiming to be a woman he points out major differences between the two claims. According to Pro there are major differences in brain function between males and females more so than between different races. This makes the claim that you are a woman very different than claiming that you are another race.
He also claims that it is more realistic to feel like you are black than it is to feel like you are a woman. This again points out a difference between the two claims. Pro is building a case that it is more realistic to claim that you are black when this is not relevant to the resolution.
Rachel lied about who she is while Caitlyn has been honest. Rachel lived as a fraud for years while Caitlyn only recently admitted to feeling like a woman. Caitlyn is now a woman. Claiming to be a woman is accurate while Rachel's claim is false.
JDiamond forfeited this round.
Pro's argument is a form of an equivocation fallacy.
He set up an argument to debate the nature of two claims but then argues about two states of being. It's true that the two situations are similar and this is what Pro argues. both women identify with a nature that is different from the state they were born into. That makes their feelings about their nature (I still would not say they are essentially the same) similar but this does not support the resolution.
Pro has made a statement about the nature of their claims, not the validity of those claims. The two claims are handled in exactly the opposite way. Rachel chose to lie about who she is while Bruce/Caitlyn was simply honest and acted on the feeling. The claims are very different.
If the debate were about the validity of the claims, as I have pointed out, one claim is true and the other is a lie.
JDiamond forfeited this round.
Arguments extended.

Follow SeekFreaks on:
"Physical therapy means services provided by a qualified physical therapist."[1]
Yes, SeekFreaks, that is how IDEA defines physical therapy. No wonder questions abound about the role of PTs in the school setting. The vagueness of the definition opens up PT's role up for various interpretation. However, I like to see the glass as half full — this definition allows us as a profession to help define our contributions in enhancing a student with disabilities' educational experience. This article will try to describe the role of physical therapy within the context of IDEA and the most current literature in school-based physical therapy practice.
PT as a Related Service
Physical therapy is considered by IDEA as a related service. Related services are "developmental, corrective, and other supportive services as are required to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education."1 This description is what differentiates PT services in the educational and the medical settings. PT in a medical setting assists the client in optimizing function in any areas deemed important by the client. PT in the educational setting focuses specifically on assisting the student in accessing and participating in their education.
PT as a Member of the IEP Team
How, you may ask, can physical therapy assist a student to benefit from education? This is a decision made by the IEP team. A physical therapist is one of many members of the IEP team. PTs provide evaluation and perspective from our discipline to the IEP team. The decision as to whether physical therapy is needed by the student is made by the IEP team who considers evaluation reports, student data and other input from its members. After the team establishes the student's educational goals, the team determines the services needed to address any of the set goals, which may or may not include PT. McEwen (2009) reminds us that in addition to academics, educational benefit includes any school function that the IEP team decides is essential for the student's educational experience.[2]
PT, Areas of School Function and the Least Restrictive Environment
The School Function Assessment[3] is a good reference to identify the areas of school function that a therapist may impact. Part I describes 6 areas of participation including: Classroom, Transportation, Transition, Bathroom, Mealtime and Recess/Playground, while Part III describes specific tasks that occur within those areas. It would be well worth the time to review the content of SFA Part III and identify which tasks and areas fall within the expertise and license of a physical therapist. These may include, among others, Travel, Maintaining and Changing Positions, Recreational Movement, Up/Down Stairs.
A big lesson from reviewing the SFA is that mobility concerns occur throughout the student's school routine. This lesson, together with the concept of least restrictive environment, emphasizes that PT services are best provided in the student's natural environment and in a manner that minimizes their separation from their academics and peers. In effect, the whole school is the PT's "clinic", not an isolated room. In addition, opportunities for practice should not be limited to the "PT session," but rather should be maximized by creatively building them in to the student's regular school routine. A PT can collaborate with educational staff to afford daily opportunities for practice. For example, strengthening may be promoted by movement routines led by the teacher for 10 minutes twice a day, or paraprofessionals (teacher assistant) may be trained to practice walking with the student in between classes.
Beyond the IEP
School based PTs are a member of the school community and as such their responsibilities go beyond evaluation and provision of PT services. Responsibilities may include:
- Participation in various school teams such as the assistive technology team, the Response to Intervention (RtI) team, the preschool assessment team or other teams as determined by the school
- Collaboration with teachers and other school personnel in promoting wellness and learning of students with or without disabilities
- Consultation with parent/guardians to optimize their opportunities for practice and improvement at home via home or community activity programs
- Liaison to community-based resources to enhance the student's participation in the community and access to healthcare and other benefits
- Provision and maintenance of assistive technology (AT), including designing programs for use of AT
- Advocacy for the student's needs within the school and in the community
- Documentation that includes encounter attendance, correspondence and others
All of the above leads us to conclude that school-based PTs take on many roles that are represented by this chart:
Therefore, school-based physical therapy is not for therapists who enjoy working in isolation.
- Collaboration with various school teams is essential. So are consultations with parents/guardians, teachers and other individuals.
- Goals are not owned by the physical therapist, but by the student, as established with other members of the IEP team.
- Interventions are provided, not in a separate "PT" room, but in school areas where the student specifically needs to develop their skills.
If you believe that team effort leads to success and interventions are made meaningful by performing them where the activities naturally occur, you will surely thrive as a school-based therapist.

"TV is the most generous medium. It even seems to benefit its competitors" Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP
London (PRWEB UK) 7 October 2013
The DRTV Centre discusses an article by Danny Rogers in the current issue of Media Week, in which Mike Hoban the Sales, marketing and E-commerce Director of Thomas Cook says "We will now have an 'always on' strategy – we will always be on TV. As we become a digital business, being on TV is increasingly important."
TV advertising has been the dominant form of advertising for many decades, and remains so, with 52% of the UK public regarding TV commercials as being the most persuasive type of advertising. However, nowadays TV works best in close conjunction with appropriate digital marketing tools such as search, email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, amongst others. The role of TV advertising is necessarily adapting, changing and diversifying.
Pioneering research from a joint study by Thinkbox (the marketing body for commercial TV in the UK) and the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) has shown that combining TV and online advertising delivers up to a 50% increase in positive brand perception, as well as a significant increase in likelihood of purchase.
Thomas Cook's Chief Executive, Harriet Green has said that her company will significantly increase its £12 million TV advertising budget. Thomas Cook's competitors TUI Travel and easyJet have also boosted their TV ad budgets. Overall, across all brand sectors, a 3% increase in UK TV ad spend is expected in 2013.
For direct response agencies in particular the latest trends add to the complexity of understanding and quantifying the response process. New skills are required within ad agency media departments now, which concern data analysis, database building and interrogation of analytics. Speed is a key factor too; it's important to be able to carry out the analyses fast, to react quickly to changing market conditions and response levels.
A specialist DRTV agency can analyse and understand successes and shortcomings of DRTV and related campaigns and provide strategic direction for campaign improvement.
Successful direct response advertisers always choose specialist DRTV agencies. Now, as the direct response advertising mix becomes ever more complex it is even more essential to hire a specialist DRTV agency which can carry out and fully interpret complex analyses.
Agency Info:

The agency provides every service clients need to mount successful TV campaigns: strategies, idea creation, script-writing, storyboards, research, casting, location search, film/video production, music, voice-overs, transmission copies, channel selection, TV airtime booking and detailed response analysis.

ISG is a construction firm known to offer services worldwide. It has recently been awarded as the top one in fit out contracting in Central London specifically for interior designs of corporate offices. The said award has been given to the construction services firm for five years on the row.
The report was published by the Metropolis Property Research, an organization responsible in ranking firms that are under the Cat B projects. These projects are those new spaces that have been undertaken by corporate companies and include only those that were made between the years 2012 and 2016. According to the same report, data shows that ISG is the dominant of all the firms that are under the Cat B classification of the office fit outs located in London. The report included data since 2012. The firms that are included in the top ten are responsible for about 33 per cent of the corporate office fit outs that have been established in central London. This percentage is equal to more than 5 million square feet of office space that have been occupied.
ISG have been contracted with a number of different clients already. The works they have done includes an office fit out for a financial services firm that is known globally and an office fit out of the 5 Broadgate which is about 700,000 square feet of space. ISG was also a part of the project that has been tagged as the largest office project to be done within central London for the last half decade. The company was also a part of the project under CMS which is a headquarters found at Cannon Place with a total space of 160,000 square feet. The project that was recently requested by Midtown for Saatchi & Saatchi was also done by ISG and they out fitted about 100,000 square feet.
The award given to ISG is also a representation that the company continues to provide clients with their quality service which is also present in many companies that are providing services for office outfits in Canberra.

I suppose it isn't an entirely irrelevant topic for Christmas. I mean, we have the sweet little manger scenes, and angels, and lowing cattle, and shepherds, and all of that -which is awesome. I love a good manger scene. I love the sweet little baby Jesus, with his sweet little baby cheeks, and his fat little thighs. I'm sure he was a precious bundle.
But. Jesus was born to die. That was the whole point of his coming in the first place.
Yeah! See? So we're not so random after all. Keeping the spirit of the season alive and well...er....
As if talking about trusts and assets wasn't thrilling enough, we've added another pleasurable event to our holidays: a sick, puking child.
Poor Evelyn. She will be totally fine one minute, and then it starts going downhill...she gets quiet, starts complaining that her belly hurts, and then...bleeeech. Obviously she has some sort of random stomach bug. I hope and pray that she spends the entirety of this Thursday puke-free. We do NOT want to miss school on Friday. I've waited all year for her Christmas program at school, and Eric is taking a half-day off of work. :)
Evelyn just woke up and stumbled into the living room.
"You feel okay, Evie? Are you going to be sick?"
Prayers would be appreciated that she really is miraculously better, haha.
So we are spending the day in the Robert family infirmary...hoping that we're not incubating an illness to be passed on to every other member of the family. We don't have time for being sick - too many fun things going on.
We took the girls to the movies to see Frozen the other day, and Olaf the snowman perfectly ties it all together for us today. A snowman who wishes it were summer (me too!) and who obviously has a death wish...it's a must see. If you haven't seen it, here's a spoiler for you. Two running minutes of the actual movie...and they're a funny two minutes. :)
Haha, happy random Thursday.

Into the Fire
E. L. Todd
This book can be downloaded and read in iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Despite everything I've done for my parents, I'll never be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn't mean anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in jail.
And nothing else.
When they were in trouble, I handed over my life savings. I didn't think twice about it because they're my family, my blood. They raised me to be my own man and gave me everything I needed. It didn't matter that it was every penny I had. It didn't matter that the money was set aside for my future. My dreams.
Because they needed me.
But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man they think I should be.
I have an unusual professional.
I escort men, acting as their date to family functions or work parties. It's my job to act deeply in love with my client. And I always nail it.
But it's not what you think.
I'm not a prostitute.
I'm not a call girl.
I'm an actress.
Get it right.
There are strict rules when it comes to my profession. There is no touching, kissing, or anything but hand-holding. Those who choose not to comply will get a swift kick in the nuts.
But all this goes to hell when Ash walks into my life.
Customer Reviews
Into The Fire Advanced Copy
I got an advanced copy of this book and first I would like to say thank you for the opportunity to read it. Second I would like to say that E. L. Todd is an amazing writer and you will not be disappointed with this book. This book is based on two main characters, Ash and Alessandra. Amazing names for these two people. The story line was about a boy that is owed money by his parents that he let borrow in their time of need. It is an interesting book from start to finish. It's a little weird that the parents wouldn't give him his money back but the reasoning behind this is acceptable as only a parent would know best how to address their child they think is spiraling out of control. Alessandra went through heartache and Ash is a ex military womanizer that never wanted to settle down but meets his match in his escort. Great book and trust me when I say you won't be disappointed. Just let me say ladies, while reading this book, you will be left fantasizing about his hot body.
Into the fire review
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review, and I am going to provide it.
E.L Todd's book, Into the Fire, was wonderful. It was funny, romantic; it had angst, and drama. I love contemporary romance. I think what draws me into contemporary romance is that women can relate to the characters. They represent modern women and how we feel and what tends to go through our heads. I think most modern women want a man that is sexy, alpha, and sensitive. We want an all-around good guy. Or, at least some semblance of that. Reality is much different then what we read in romance, but I think modern women can find something that comes close.
This is book one in the series and I can't wait to read the next in the series, because I like continuance and I like to read about what's going to happen next. She also has a back list of other books that she's written, and I can't wait to read her other works as well.
I loved the relationship between Ash and Alessandra. They really are perfect for each other. They complement each other, they are each other's strength, they cheer each other on, they can be themselves with each other. They are true blue best friends. I love reading about that. I truly believe that people have to be each other's friends before they can be each other's lovers.
I loved Ash. He went through life opening his mouth and inserting his foot, but he really is harmless. He was spoken about throughout the book as having layers, and it's true, he really does have layers. He reveals himself slowly, reluctantly, grudgingly, but he does reveal hidden depths about himself that endears himself to the reader. He is also untamable, stubborn, hardheaded, and he has zero filter and says exactly what's on his mind and in his heart, whether the other person wants to hear it or not. He made me laugh and he endeared himself on my heart.
Alessandra is a women that needs to be tough and ballsy so that men don't take advantage of her. She has what it takes to not allow herself to be intimidated by anyone and has the smarts to support herself now as well as in the future. She's smart, sexy, and determined to make herself be successful at her career.
This was a fast read and made me giggle as I read it. I loved it.
Too hot to handle
Ash hires Alessandra to play his girlfriend. His parents want him to find someone who will change him and he cannot have that. He just wants his parents to pay him back them money he loaned them.
Alessandra impresses his parents and it goes rather smooth. What Ash didn't count on was wanting to spend time with her. All the time. What did he ever do without her?
Ash is more than just a client. Alessandra will have to change her plan where he is concerned. She is more than attracted to him. She likes his humor, his honesty, his loyalty to his parents...
This is such a sweet and yet smoking hot read. I found the banter entertaining. The story has such a good pace also.

The Clinical Trials Unit is led by Professor Nicola West.
The Clinical Trials Unit is in the international arena of research with regards to toothwear (erosion, attrition, abrasion and abfraction), tooth bleaching, tooth staining, dentine hypersensitivity, prevention of plaque and gingivitis and treatment of diseases of the periodontium.
The studies are performed both within the Clinical Trials Unit at the Bristol Dental School in dedicated laboratories and clinical environments, and in General Dental Practice in the UK.
Studies are often initially conducted in vitro before moving into in situ and in vivo models to determine efficacy.
The research group has developed an ethically approved in situ model using human teeth to assess, in particular, the erosive properties of acidic soft drinks, the abrasive and erosive effects of oral healthcare products and their synergistic effect with each other, in order to help manage clinical toothwear which is the fourth most common condition in dentistry after caries, periodontal disease and trauma.
Further these models allow occlusion of dentine tubules to be assessed in order to reduce the pain of dentine hypersensitivity experienced by at least 15% of the population worldwide.
Other areas of active research involve studies into bioglasses, dental implants, bone regenerative materials and pain reduction when performing oral local anaesthesia.
The majority of the research is supported by international industrial funding from the UK, Europe, Switzerland and the US as well as external grants such as EU monies.

WASHINGTON -- North Korea is expanding the potential of its nuclear installation to separate plutonium and may double the capacity of the plant in as little as six months, U.S. officials said yesterday.
The officials said that international monitors discovered while visiting the site last month that North Korea had begun installing a second production line at the plutonium reprocessing plant.
The move was described by the officials as part of a long-term effort by North Korea to expand its nuclear program.

Looking past confusing non-cash credit and debit valuation adjustments, Citigroup (C)
The shares were up 3% in early trading Monday, to $34.24.
The company's first-quarter profit was $0.95, missing the consensus estimate of a dollar profit, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, while revenue of $19.4 billion missed the consensus estimate of $19.81 billion, but a further look at the numbers tells a much better revenue story.
Excluding non-cash credit valuation adjustments (CVA) and debit valuation adjustments (DVA) for all periods, Citigroup's first-quarter revenue was $20.7 billion, increasing from $17.2 billion in the fourth quarter and $20.0 billion during the first quarter of 2011.
CEO Vikram Pandit said that "Global Consumer Banking, our largest business, produced another quarter of good growth in revenues, net income and key drivers like loans and deposits. Transaction Services had record quarterly revenues as it captured increasing share in global trade finance, and Securities and Banking rebounded strongly with year-over-year revenue growth."
Leaving aside Citi Holdings -- which continues to see declining revenue --since it is holds the assets that Citigroup is winding down, main subsidiary Citicorp followed the industry trend, with recovering trading revenues during the first-quarter, following a very difficult fourth quarter.
The Institutional Clients Group saw total fourth-quarter revenue of $8.0 billion, compared to $5.8 billion the previous quarter, and $8.6 billion a year earlier. The group's first-quarter profit totaled $2.2 billion, increasing from $633 million in the fourth quarter, but declining from $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2011, on lower revenue from principal transactions.
For the Global Consumer Banking division, total first-quarter revenue was $10.0 billion, increasing from $9.9 billion the previous quarter, and $9.6 billion, a year earlier. The division's profit grew 27% sequentially and 14% year-over-year, to $2.2 billion, mainly because credit costs continued to decline.
Retail banking revenue grew 9% sequentially and 15% year over year to $4.5 billion, "largely due to improved results in mortgages," following the industry trend, with President Obama's expanded Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP 2, allowing certain mortgage borrowers to refinance their entire loan balances at today's low rates, no matter how much the value of the underlying homes have dropped.
In his comments Monday on JPMorgan Chase's
Within the Global Consumer Banking division, Citi's card revenue declined 4% sequentially and 2% year-over-year, to $5.5 billion, as "Citi-branded cards revenues declined 6% to $2.1 billion, and Citi retail services revenues declined 3% to $1.5 billion, both versus the prior year period." The company said the declining card revenue "primarily reflected lower average loan balances," as "Citi-branded cards loans declined 2% and Citi retail services loans declined 5% from first quarter 2011, as well as lower yields in Citi-branded cards."
Citigroup's shares closed at $33.41 Friday, returning 27% year-to-date, following a 44% drop during 2011.

Dunsfold Wings n' Wheels 2012
I am slowly going through the 5,500 photos I took and uploading them once edited, I think this is the most I have ever taken at an airshow (I took lots of the cars as well so this bumped the numbers up a bit).
The flight there and back went smoothly, even some half decent landings and the weather was good, even sunny a lot of the time !
The acts were very good, most notable were the Kittyhawk, Tigers (excellent barnstorming antics), Red Arrows, the Meteor T7 looked awesome in the sunshine and of course the bangs of the Tornado role demo
I'm already looking forward to next years show !!

Judith Farmer enjoys a rich and varied career as a chamber musician, orchestra musician, soloist and teacher. She received her education at Indiana University and at the Hochschule fuer Musik in Vienna. From 1984-1996 she was principal bassoonist of the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra, performed and toured regularly with the Camerata Academica Salzburg under Sandor Vegh and with numerous chamber music ensembles in Vienna. Ms. Farmer has appeared as a soloist in the U.S. and in Europe, including the Salzburg Festival, and has participated in chamber music festivals in Prussia Cove (UK), Marthas Vineyard (MA), Salem (NY), La Jolla (CA), Oaxaca (Mexico), Beverly Hills (CA) and Garth Newel (VA). For the 1995-96 season she held the position of visiting professor at the Hochschule fuer Musik in Graz, Austria. She has also taught at the International Mozart Academy in Prague, the Chautauqua Music Festival and the Henry Mancini Institute.
In 1996 Ms. Farmer moved to Los Angeles and since then has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic - including as guest associate principal in spring of 2009 - as well as for over 100 major motion pictures. She is currently principal bassoonist of the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, a member of the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra and the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra.
Judith Farmer teaches bassoon at the University of Southern California. She is an avid chamber musician, who enjoys collaborating with composers on new works and has had a number of works written and dedicated to her. Her recordings as a soloist and chamber musician are available on Albany, Ex-House and Orfeo Records.
Critics have described bassoonist Judith Farmer's playing as "impeccable" (American Record Guide), "masterly" (Fanfare Magazine) and "brilliant" (Kronenzeitung, Austria). Barnaby Rayfield also noted in the July/August 2011 issue of Fanfare Magazine: " ... the playing on [composer Gernot Wolfgang's CD Short Stories] is uniformly excellent, especially from Judith Farmer on bassoon, finding expressive extremes of that instrument I didn't think possible."

text: On a dedicated group fitness retreat (which usually run on set dates) you're all in it together and can egg one another on (and compare aching muscles). Or choose a fitness holiday if you want to arrange the timetable yourself at a retreat that offers fitness classes as part of a broader offer. If you'd like to focus on toning and strength, a Pilates holiday is hard to beat. Or if weight loss is your goal, choose a break with a dedicated weight loss programme or try a detox retreat to kick start the process with a cleanse. Whatever you choose, most fitness escapes can cater for all levels of fitness, so whether you're a triathlete or you're venturing off the sofa for the first time, have a browse and just do it!

Re: Achesons of Lancaster Co. PA mid-1700's
In reply to:
Re: Achesons of Lancaster Co. PA mid-1700's
James Acheson 3/07/04
Thanks for your information. I will copy below a section from my summary of my knowledge of the John and Catherine (Clark) Acheson family, which was compiled from several sources, but first I will comment on a few points of your note.
1. I took just a brief look at the Beers site that you referenced, and didn't find reference to John, and the Alexander mentioned there doesn't appear to be the right one (born too late). I'll go back and take a better look in case I overlooked something.
2. You mention John and his brother Matthew. I did know that John had a neighbor named Matthew Acheson, and assumed that they were related. Do you have any actual evidence that they were brothers?
3. You mention that three of John's daughters married Reed boys. According to my notes, two of the Acheson girls and one Acheson boy married Reeds (see below).
4. I have also seen various spellings of the surname in early references, and like you, have found that most of the later generations used the spelling ACHESON. Since I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary, I have used that spelling from the start. (A similar situation occurs with my Wherry family of Oxford, Chester Co., whose name appears as Wharry, Wharrey, and Warrey, among others.)
If you have more information on this family, or are interested in what I have on later generations, please contact me via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. (This may change soon, as we are planning to move to another location.)
John Acheson and Catherine Clark
The earliest of our Acheson ancestors for whom we have records is John Acheson, who was born in northern Ireland in 1710. In 1733 he married Catherine Clark, who was born about 1710. About 1735 John, Catherine, and their infant son Matthew immigrated to America, settling in Lancaster County, PA. Although we know nothing of John's parents or siblings, there was a Matthew Acheson who owned a farm adjacent to John's, and may have been his brother.
On September 5, 1738, John warranted 253 acres in Little Britain Township, Lancaster Co. John lived here for over 40 years, and prospered in every way. He died in the early years of the Revolution. He sold 126 acres of his farm to his son John about August 1770. The invoice of the estate of John Sr. is on file at Lancaster, PA.
John died about March 1778. Catherine apparently then moved to Washington County with her sons Matthew and Humphrey, as she sold her land in Little Britain Township on November 30, 1779, and that same day bought 400 acres of land in Cross Creek Township, Washington County. On October 19, 1793, her children Catherine, Matthew and Humphrey and her son-in-law John Reed sold the farm on Cross Creek, indicating that Catherine (the mother) had died shortly before that. John and Catherine had seven children, all except Matthew born in Little Britain Township:
1. Matthew, born 1734 in Ireland, died 1814 in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, PA; marriedJean Reed (6 chidren).
2. Humphrey, born 1740 in Little Britain Township, Lancaster County, PA, died 1814 in Washington County, PA; married (1) Rebecca Reed, sister of Jean (12 children), (2) a widow, Mrs. Hull.
3. Ann, born 1743, died November 15, 1823; married John Reed, brother of Jean and Rebecca.
4. Unknown daughter, married Long (first name unknown)
5. John, born 1745, died October, 1779; married Agnes Caldwell.
6. Christiana, born 1755, died 1820 in Casco, Cumberland County, ME; married (1) James Calvin, (2) Robert Tweed.
7. Catherine, born 1760, died March 29, 1822; married John Tannehill. 1 known child.

Affinity and Partnership Marketing in UK Motor and Breakdown Recovery Insurance
Price £1,495
Table of Contents | Series Prospectus | Buy Report
Finaccord's report titled Affinity and Partnership Marketing in UK Motor and Breakdown Recovery Insurance represents the most detailed research ever undertaken on this sector. Drawing on the results of a survey of 2,555 organisations, the report analyses the penetration, operating models and provider share of relationships of affinity and partnership marketing schemes for motor and breakdown recovery insurance across a range of distributor categories.
These include: automotive manufacturers; banks; building societies; charities; friendly societies; internet, media and telecoms entities; online aggregators and brokers; professional associations; retailers; trade associations; and trade unions. Moreover, the PartnerBASE™ database that accompanies the report provides the granular detail behind the analysis, detailing each of well over 500 affinity and partnership marketing initiatives traced by Finaccord in this sector.
In addition, the analysis identifies not only the providers of motor and breakdown insurance with the most partnerships (overall, and within each category) but also computes 'weighted provider shares of partnerships' in order to highlight the providers that are likely to hold the most valuable relationships given the characteristics of their partners.
You may be able to use this report and associated PartnerBASE™ database in one or more of the following ways:
- drill down into the detail lying behind affinity and partnership marketing schemes for motor and breakdown recovery insurance;
- gain access to research that chronicles the vast majority of affinity and partnership marketing opportunities in these two areas;
- understand not only which providers have secured the most partnerships but which are likely to hold the most valuable deals for each of motor and breakdown recovery insurance;
- benchmark the competitive position of your own organisation in affinity and partnership marketing and spot opportunities for displacing rivals;
- plan your future affinity and partnership marketing strategy in motor and breakdown recovery insurance armed with the best market and competitor intelligence available on this subject.
Together, the report and PartnerBASE™ database will provide you with the definitive guide to current and potential affinity and partnership marketing opportunities in UK motor and breakdown recovery insurance.
Note that in this report, motor insurance is defined as policies sold to consumers owning standard cars. As such, it excludes motor insurance for business customers (consideration of which is instead included in the sister report and database titled Affinity and Partnership Marketing in UK Commercial Non-Life Insurance) and niche vehicle-related insurance such as GAP and tyre insurance. Moreover, it also excludes insurance for caravans, classic cars, mopeds, motor cycles and vans, plus short-term motor insurance policies, each of which are covered in a separate series of studies for which the series prospectus can be seen here. However, it includes telematics-enabled car insurance.
In a similar vein, the definition of breakdown recovery insurance is roadside assistance contracts sold to consumers owning mainstream cars; in the case of insurers (including those defined in the research both as 'underwriters' and as 'tied / multi-tied agents'), this considers cover bundled within wider motor insurance policies. Bundled cover is also the focus in the case of packaged accounts albeit for all other distributor categories, analysis of breakdown recovery insurance is limited to stand-alone policies only.
