County Donegal on the extreme northwest coast of Ireland offers some of the best sea kayaking and kayak surfing to be found anywhere. The convoluted coastline consists mostly of steep rocky cliffs punctuated by pale sandy beaches and protected harbors. No matter from what direction the wind is blowing there are always waves to surf or when the seas are really kicking up you can usually find a more sane place to play without being pummelled by the big stuff.
We awoke to horizontal rain and 45 degree air temperatures. What a perfect day for curling up by the turf fire or heading down to the pub for a game of darts and perhaps a pint or two of Guinness. No such luck. Since we had come all this way to paddle Ireland then paddle is what we were going to do. We hopped into the car and headed off to Tramore, our favorite surfing beach. As we drove past the harbor and fishing pier at Port-na-Blagh we had our first indication that the surf might be slightly more entertaining than usual. All the fishing boats in the harbor were still at their moorings. Out here where the fishermen live just slightly above the subsistence level, they fish 6 days a week no matter what the weather.
Tra more is a 3/4 mile long gently sloping beach which faces directly out towards the North Atlantic. Ordinarily, you can be assured of consistently long rides on regularly shaped waves so Tra mor was typically our first stop. As we drove along the approach road which parallels the beach, but on the other side of some large dunes, we began to hear a rumbling. We stopped the car thinking we had jarred something loose on the rough dirt road. As we got out to inspect the damage we realized there was nothing wrong with the car but there was something wrong on our beautiful surfing beach. The rain had stopped half an hour ago yet we needed to turn our windshield wipers on to clear away the salt spray blowing in from the waves as they vaporized onto the beach. Joe and I looked at the waves, looked at each other, looked at the waves and got back in the car.
Always have a "Plan B". We drove to a mellow little beach called Marble Hill Strand. In order for the waves to reach Marble Hill they must bend around three different headlands, making it one of the most protected beaches in the area. We had been surfing 5-8 footers for a couple of hours and been getting really long rides because of the very gently sloping beach. I was paddling back out through the breakers and had almost reached the point where we had been catching the best waves. I was just about to accelerate to catch a wave when out of the corner of my eye, I noticed on the horizon, a pronounced bubble of water moving shoreward. I back paddled so as not to catch the wave building under me. I turned my boat with a quick sweep stroke to get a better view of this wave moving my way. My first thought was "Alright! Here comes the best wave of the day and I'm in the perfect place to catch it." As it got closer it got bigger, much bigger. Now I'm thinking this is not the best wave of the day; this is the best wave of the day to kill somebody and I would prefer it not be me. The wave got steeper and taller the closer it got to me and I had to decide whether to try and catch it and hope I could somehow surf it to shore without damaging major body parts or to try and climb up the face of the wave before it exploded over me. After pondering the matter for most of a second I drove my blade into the water and sprinted straight towards the oncoming wall of water.
As I hit the base of the wave I realized just how big this monster was and how brilliant I was to not try and surf this one in. I planted my paddle into the base of the wave took four more strokes and just as my bow came even with the crest of the wave it started to break. Right then I wasn't so sure I' was going to make it. I have been back endered unintentionally once or twice by much smaller waves and have not particularly enjoyed the experience. The effect is something like sticking a garden hose up each nostril while someone spins you around on a tire swing while pelting you with pugil sticks. I generally try to avoid these situations whenever possible and now here was a wave that would turn those garden hoses into fire hoses and pugil sticks into baseball bats. With a surge of adreneline powered by the single thought "this is gonna hurt" I pulled up and over the frothing crest and for an instant sailed out into mid air. I made it! HA! I beat you, stupid wave, I am alive and sailing through the air. Yes! As I splatted down into the trough on the back face of the wave I expected to see nothing but the mild swells we had been surfing all morning. Instead, what confronted me I was not prepared for. That one rogue wave had a twin brother, a nastier, more evil twin and this wave heard me laughing at its little brother.
Now I've got a situation. I know there is absolutely no way I am going to paddle over this wave before it breaks and that whole back surfing scenario really is not very appealing. I could bail out of my boat and try and dive under the wave like I have seen some board surfers do or I could try to ride it out. I hate swimming out of my kayak so much I would rather risk it all and at my funeral have them say "At least he didn't swim". I gave a quick sweep stroke to turn the boat parallel to the face of the wave as the wave approached from the side I leaned into it with my body and my boat as I stabbed the paddle into the wave for support. The wave curled over my head, way over my head and as I sat there moderately terrified and presumably about to die I thought Wow! This is really cool, not many kayakers actually get to see inside the tube of a wave". The side of the wave I was bracing on was incredibly smooth and transluscent on the shoreside was total chaos white foam and a whole lot of noise. Here I am in my itty bitty kayak perched between a boiling cauldron of pain and this beautifully serene wall of calm. I will myself towards the calm and the wave wills me towards the mash zone, the waves will was stronger than my own and as the wave collapsed around me I sucked in my last lungful of air.
I fully expected to be getting spun around and around by the swirling water but I had no sensation of turning over or even being upside down. I opened my eyes a little bit to try and discern which way was up and much to my surprise the light was still coming from over my head. Somehow I was still pointed in the right direction (lungs up). Still inside the waves frothy clutches, my air supply was dwindling rapidly. My body forced me to exhale. I remembered reading somewhere about a paddler who was stuck in a not dissimilar situation and that she was able to breath by gritting her teeth and sucking in the froth, breathing the air trapped in the froth then spitting out the water. I didn't really believe it when I read it but I didn't have a better plan so I bent my face forward opened my lips gritted my teeth and sure enough Air! After the third or forth suck I'm beginning to wonder about popping out of this froth and getting a real lung full. No sooner had the thought/wish crossed my mind than like the submarine Nautilus in the opening sequence of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, I exploded free to the surface.
I was still being flung towards shore by a still huge and powerful wave but at least I was mostly in the air. I knew that if I hung onto my side surfing position that the wave's energy would begin to dissipate and I could pull through to the back of the wave and be free of its grip. Just as the wave drove me in past my paddling partner I popped off the back face to end my ordeal. With eyes bulging and a look of genuine concern he asked "Are you O.K.?" I said "Well, I believe all my appendages are still attached and I don't think I'm spurting blood anywhere but I might need to drain the pee from my drysuit. Can we go to the pub now?"
Dragging our boats up the beach I said In my best Elmer Fudd voice "That was verwy verwy scarwy".

The Transportation Committee meets the second Thursday of every month, 8:30 a.m. in the WPB office, 1414 N. Ashland Ave.*
*Meetings are occasionally rescheduled, please check to confirm meeting times.
The committee strives to foster multi-modal mobility and circulation along WPB's corridors. We are proud to be advocates for all forms of active transportation in WPB.
This summer, we are working with the Chicago Dept. of Transportation (CDOT) on targeted improvements along Milwaukee Avenue. Bike boxes, curb bumpouts, two slip lane closures (Damen/Milwaukee & Ashland/Milwaukee), and two new crosswalks at Milwaukee/North/Damen are just some of the improvements! To find out more, please see CDOT's latest public presentation.
Considering Milwaukee Ave aka "the hipster highway"- an often narrow yet heavily traveled bike route- cuts right through our neighborhood, safety is a big concern of ours. We have created window clings to remind both drivers and passengers to remember to look for bikers before opening car doors. Look for these stickers around the neighborhood or stop by our office to pick one up.
Also, be on the lookout for businesses with this in their window - it means they are supportive of biking and understand the value being bicycle-friendly brings to our neighborhood.
WPB Committees are open to the public and participation is encouraged. Please call the WPB office for more information, 773.384.2672.

Washington State Drug Rehabs
No one wants to be a drug addict or alcoholic; no one wants to be controlled by a substance and feeling hopeless. The drug addict's family and friends most commonly ask these drug rehab questions: how could my son, daughter, father, mother, sister, brother or friend become a liar, a thief, someone who cannot be trusted? And why won't they stop?
What you need to understand about drug addiction/drug rehab is that alcohol and addictive drugs are basically painkillers. Drugs chemically kill physical or emotional pain and alter the mind's perception of reality. They make a person numb to the pain they want to be rid of, but drugs also make them numb to all other emotions, including happiness and life in general.
For a person to start taking drugs there must first exist an underlying situation of unhappiness, a sense of hopelessness, or physical pain. Since the substances that they are taking to 'kill the pain' are chemicals and toxic to the body, they actually add in creating depression. A good alcohol and drug rehab program will include detox, which aims at ridding the body and mind of the toxins accumulated by drug use.
Bodies need vitamins, minerals, oils and water to function properly; when they are deprived of proper nourishment they become very depleted. The vitamin deficiencies will cause the person to experience problems sleeping, depression, physical aches and pains, and severe mood swings.
WA Rehab Centers
There are many different kinds of drug rehabs or drug treatment centers and drug rehab programs.
We will provide you with as much drug rehab information and drug addiction treatment information as possible including specific information about each type of drug rehab, and how to get into inpatient drug rehab centers that will work for all kinds of drug and alcohol addiction.
A good drug rehab typically will last for a minimum of 3 months or more. These give the person a much higher rate of success; there is no 'quick fix' for alcohol and drug addiction…
Completely drug-free rehabilitation is the only way to help someone overcome their drug addiction and get back their life and happiness. Substituting one form of addiction for another is not drug rehab and does not help the individual–it only makes money for the legal drug dealers and in fact adds to the existing problem.
Addiction can be overcome and we can help!

Our thanks to Theresa A. Guise, MD, and Sheila A. Stewart, DPhil, for standing for election, and to the TME membership for participating in the election. We congratulate Dr. Stewart on being elected as TME chairperson-elect. Dr. Stewart will assume the office of chairperson-elect at the AACR Annual Meeting 2018, April 14-18, 2018, in Chicago, Illinois.
Research Interests:My research is focused on understanding how age-related changes in the microenviornment contribute to tumorigenesis. We use a multidisciplinary approach to ask how senescent stromal cells impact the local immune response in both the primary and metastatic sites. In addition, because senescent stromal cells accumlate within the pre-metastatic site with age, we are also asking how senescent cells alter this niche within the bone and impact metastasis. Finally, we are also asking what impact and aging stromal compartment has on tumor cell dormancy.
Proposed Goals:My goal as chairperson-elect of the Tumor Microenvironment Working Group (TME) is to build on the success of the past leaders and expand the visibility of the TME working group both within the AACR and beyond to sister organizations and funding agencies throughout the world. Further, I will work to increase the visibility of the group and the importance of the microenvironment to industry and create partnerships to increase discovery of novel therapeutics that target the microenvironment. I will accomplish these goals by lobbying for increased representation for the working group at national meetings as well as smaller meetings both at home and abroad. Importantly, I will work to expand the definition of the microenvironment to include not only cells and the structural components within the local microenvironment, but also those that operate at the systemic level to influence all steps in the tumorigenic process. In addition, I will work to increase outreach to young investigators by providing them with opportunities to participate in meetings and working to develop a mentorship program that attracts new investigators into this vibrant area of research.

HCM CITY — Viet Nam and Cambodia have jointly launched a Superhighway Telecom Network which is expected to improve internet and telecommunication services in Cambodia and meet customer demands.
State-owned Viet Nam Telecom International (VTI) and Telecom Cambodia (TC) inaugurated the 260-km link, which connects VTI's POP (Point of Presence) in Phnom Penh to HCM City, last Friday.
The superhighway link is expandable to Asia, Europe and North America through an international submarine cable system and cross-border land cable connections to China and Laos.
With an initial capacity design of 10Gbps and a future upgrade plan, the connection is expected to become a lifeline for transmitting traffic such as voice, video, data and the internet as well as all other international telecommunication services.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Cambodian Minister of Posts and Telecommunication So Khun said the link would help Cambodia develop its economy amid the global integration.
He said it was important to improve telecommunications and internet service usage in Cambodia, which would drive the development in many fields of economics, education, society and administration.
The minister said the link would be a chance for both VTI and TC to increase the number of customers, expand business activities and generate more revenue.
The link would provide customers not only in Cambodia but also in regional countries like Thailand and Myanmar with a high-speed connection as well as high quality and cost-effective services, according to So Khun.
The chairman of Viet Nam Posts and Telecommunications, to which the VTI belongs, Pham Long Tran, said at the launch that the co-operation showed the VTI's commitment to provide high-quality international telecommunications service to Cambodia and to improve its role and status in the Southeast Asian telecoms market. — VNS

Effective Bedroom Storage Bench
Bedroom storage bench now has been spread to be favorite concept for bedroom and interior design. It is not only adopted for the adult room, but it can also be adopted for the children bedroom. The main consideration is making it simple and multifunction. Commonly, the color choice for the furniture is dark color as brown or black, but implementation of soft color for the bench can be adjusted. As long as it can serve as bench and storage, there will be no problem.
About the size, it will be better to adjust the large sofa on upper side with the right size on the below of the bench. For bedroom benches idea, people will have more functional bed, since right below the bed, they also provide the storage and it is related toward the bed directly.
The function of storage itself is to keep towel, the bed stuffs, or your children toys, if you apply this idea for children bedroom. You only need to firmly state the secure side if you want to implement this idea for children room.

The question of whether investment brokers should be subject to a fiduciary standard has sparked a hotly contested debate between Wall Street and the Obama administration. The debate largely concerns conflicts of interest specifically, whether brokers may be incentivized to surreptitiously push higher-margin products at the expense of an investor's best interests. The White House has found that these conflicts result in a loss of 1 percentage point of return for affected investors, adding up to $17 billion annually. This problem is not limited to investment brokers: earlier this year in American Banker, I argued that small-business loan brokers face similar conflicts.
Disclosures are frequently proposed as a potential remedy to such conflicts of interest. At first blush, disclosure requirements seem both fair and sensible. Armed with complete information, rational customers should be able to fairly evaluate their broker's advice.
Disclosure requirements also have bipartisan appeal because they try to address biases but involve minimal regulation. Some members of the industry also support the idea, which is relatively inexpensive to implement and generally involves less disruption of the status quo.
But disclosure is not a panacea. It can have unintended and even perverse consequences, potentially exacerbating bias among brokers and harming the customers it ostensibly intends to protect.
Consider the results of a 2005 study conducted by a group of economists at Carnegie Mellon University. In the experiment, one group "estimators" was tasked with guessing how many coins were in a jar. Another group, "advisors," were allowed to walk up to the jar, study it, and give their best guess to the estimator. Estimators were incentivized to provide accurate estimates, and advisors were rewarded for how high they could convince estimators to guess.
Paradoxically, when advisors disclosed their upwardly biased rewards, the accuracy of estimates went down, not up the opposite of disclosure's intended effect. Other studies have resulted in a similar outcome, including a 2010 follow-up conducted by the same economists and a seminal study conducted back in 1982.
There are several reasons why disclosures can backfire:
#1: Strategic Exaggeration
Research suggests that advisers such as brokers tend to provide more biased advice to counteract anticipated discounting. Economists have dubbed this tendency "strategic exaggeration." For example, in the studies noted above, because of the disclosure, estimators did indeed discount advice more than when disclosure was not made, but not sufficiently to counteract the increased bias in the advice they received. Everyday experience in other industries reinforces the point. It is fairly common, for example, for car sellers to inflate their asking prices initially in anticipation of the buyer haggling downward.
#2: Moral Licensing
Consciously or otherwise, advisors may feel that biased advice is justifiable because the advisee has been warned. Conversely, according to Russell Investments, agents may feel more obligated to behave better when they have something to hide, and feel less obligated when the other party is made aware of the conflict.
#3: Increased Trust
This "moral licensing" can be especially insidious because disclosures may paradoxically increase consumer trust. When a broker tells a borrower that they have conflicts, the borrower's trust in the broker may actually increase because, after all, the broker is being honest.
#4: "Not Me" Biases
Fourth, even if customers accept that brokers in the abstract may be skewed by conflicts, many are resistant to the idea that their own brokers would be so biased. A 1998 study exploring biases of doctors showed that while many patients acknowledge doctors might be affected by conflicts of interest, few imagine their own doctors would be affected.
#5: Checking the Box
Brokers may also undermine disclosures by casting them as a matter-of-fact compliance hurdle. As leading consumer protection advocate Michael Barr notes, brokers may be tempted to say, "Here's the disclosure form I'm supposed to give you, just sign here." Customers certainly have incentives to thoroughly review documents just as any parties to legally-binding contracts would. But many neglect to do so. Given the information overload that many customers receive, it's easy to understand why.
While coming clean can backfire, the question should not be whether to disclose, but how to ensure that disclosure has its intended effects. Disclosure can only be effective if the recipient comprehends how the conflict has influenced the advisor and is empowered to correct for that biasing influence. We ought to better utilize the following tools.
The first is simply encouraging customers to abide by the caveat emptor principle. Customers should know that when conflicts are disclosed, greater vigilance is warranted. Just as patients may seek out second opinions in order to better assess the effect that conflicts of interest have on their doctor's advice, so can everyday investors, small-business borrowers and others benefit from talking to multiple brokers.
Framing is also critical. A standardized disclosure form with side-by-side comparisons of a broker's products by compensation as well as cost and terms would help de-bias information and empower clients to act optimally. A 2007 study by the Federal Trade Commission found that disclosures that enabled cross-comparisons dramatically increased borrowers' ability to understand mortgage options.
Lastly, we should go beyond disclosures to require that all brokers respect a fiduciary standard. Customers turn to brokers for individualized advice, whether on loans or investment decisions, and trust their broker to help them evaluate options. It is only fair that brokers should have to act in their best interests.
Taken together, these steps can reduce market frictions that result from information failures, put pressure on brokers to be honest in their dealings with applicants, and foster a better-functioning market.

March 08, 2010 15:44 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 8, 2010) - The Honourable Keith Ashfield, Minister of National Revenue, Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway, announced today that Canadians participating in relief efforts or affected by natural disasters, who are unable to meet their tax obligations will be able to readily access tax relief measures.
"In cases such as the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, as well as in any other potential natural disasters, our Government is sensitive to the difficulties that individuals and businesses may encounter as a result of unpredictable natural disasters," said Minister Ashfield. "As has been done in the past, the Canada Revenue Agency will continue to provide relief to taxpayers by giving special consideration when they are unable to meet their tax obligations due to natural disasters."
The CRA's taxpayer relief provisions use a balanced approach to assist taxpayers in resolving tax issues due to circumstances beyond their control. Under these provisions, taxpayers can apply to the CRA to have interest and/or penalties waived or cancelled in situations where they are unable to file a tax return and/or make payments on time because of a natural disaster or other circumstances. Taxpayers should submit their request in writing using form RC4288, Request for Taxpayer Relief. The CRA will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis.
Taxpayers who, as a result of a natural disaster, were unable to make their RRSP contributions before the yearly deadline, may request in writing, that the CRA grant relief to allow contributions made during that specific year to be considered to have been made on time.
Affected taxpayers who have any questions or concerns regarding these measures should contact the CRA at 1-800-267-5177. If calling from outside Canada and the United-States, the number is 1-613-952-3741. Collect calls will be accepted.

Boulder , CO 80309
To launch their 12th season, Boulder's Square Product Theatre is tackling what may be its hometown's biggest story: the JonBenét Ramsey case. In this regional premiere of Gregory Moss's darkly comic work, an all-adult cast dives into the Ramseys' lives and imagines a surreal afterlife for its doomed six-year-old. Rather than solving the crime, the play instead uses JonBenét and her controversial parents as a canvas for exploring themes of celebrity, privilege, childhood trauma, and exploitation writ large.

Prince of Tucson RV Park, Tucson, Arizona
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
Overall Rating:
Stayed for a month. Bathrooms/showers were never cleaned. Grime and hair in showers daily. Laundry has swamp cooler, mosquitos everywhere, the doors were always left open. The lounge was excellent and shows where the money is spent. It has a big screen tv, ac, games puzzles and pool table. Just outside is a pool. Dog walk is inconvenient and outside park. People were very nice. Quiet park. We camped at Prince of Tucson RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Mall is close by as is grocery stores. Easy access to freeway.

A skilled coaching staff and well-schooled horses will help you realize your equestrian ambitions and to relax as you ride out in the beautiful Scottish countryside.
Gleneagles is a great choice for equestrians who would like to improve their riding skills through training and riding lessons at one of the finest equestrian schools in Europe and riders traveling with non-riding companions, as there is plenty to do for those who choose not to ride. The Gleneagles Hotel is steeped in tradition, having welcomed guests for over 80 years to retreat to the heart of Scotland. The resort is a Five Red Star golf resort set amid 850 acres of stunning scenery in Perthshire in central Scotland. Besides golf and equestrian sports, guests may also enjoy fishing, falconry, gundog school, mountain biking, the spa, tennis, off road driving and fine dining.
The equestrian centre is top notch. The equestrian facilities cover a 50-acre site and include two covered, heated arenas, a fenced, surfaced open exercise and practice arena, seating for 700 spectators, a lecture room with audio-visual equipment and two stable yards, and house 48 horses. Leading trainers are regulars at Gleneagles, providing special clinics and lessons in dressage, show jumping, cross country, carriage driving and polo.

There are several restaurants on the property. Foodies have many dining options, from grand to informal.
The hotel was designed in the style of a French chateau with luxurious, well-appointed interiors. When it first opened in 1924, Gleneagles was described as 'a Riviera in the Highlands' and 'the eighth wonder of the world'. This upscale resort is refreshingly relaxed, unstarchy and unstuffy. From your first wholehearted Scottish welcome you will be looked after warmly by the staff on your Gleneagles equestrian vacation.

Packing Tips for Horse Riding Scotland
Gleneagles recommends
- Riding helmet (Body protectors and short boots are available to borrow).
- Warm waterproof clothing and several changes of clothes if you wish to ride outside (the center has two indoor schools so it is not necessary to do so in inclement weather).
- Jodhpurs are more comfortable than jeans for riding in English style saddles.
- Gloves may be necessary for jumping.
- Half chaps or gaiters are recommended if riding several hours a day.
Please check out Equitreking Travel's packing list for general suggestions for what to pack for your equestrian vacation.

Traveler Reviews
At Gleneagles, in the Strathearn dining room and the attached multi-windowed conservatory, the trays of smoked salmon, scones, porridge, sausage (two kinds), bacon (two kinds), pancakes, omelets, breads, cold cereals and fruit go on and on. It is very luxurious to know that you are going to sit down and eat whatever you want and then go gallop it off. Or maybe it was the spa: on the first day, since my riding lessons were in the afternoon, I spent the morning swimming in the indoor pool and then reading in the hot tub, which was outside and from which a plume of steam rose into the almost frosty air.
There are seventeen school horses and nineteen ponies, and the program is large enough and well financed enough to be all things to all people. The weekend I was there, the equestrian center was putting on a hunter trial on the cross-country course, but it was also running pony parties for groups of excited little girls celebrating birthdays.

Coming off an ugly shutout loss to the lowly Blue Jackets and with just two regulation wins in November, the Maple Leafs hot start to the season is now a distant memory. Leafs assistant general manager Claude Loiselle joined TSN 1050 Tuesday afternoon to discuss the teams recent struggles saying he feels the team has the right mix of players, but are not playing well as a team. Loiselle: Leafs not playing team game Renato Augusto Brazil Jersey . on the 15-day disabled Monday list because of a strained right hamstring. Brazil Soccer Jersey . His stated reason for abruptly resigning as head coach of Canadas Olympic womens hockey team was he felt there were doubts about his ability to coach the team to Olympic gold in February. http://www.soccerbrazilonline.com/Luiz-Gustavo-Copa-America-Jersey/. "I honestly dont know," he said. Try this: 20 points, nine assists and seven rebounds by Rajon Rondo, a 62-37 rebounding advantage by the Celtics and a horrible 4-for-30 shooting performance on 3-pointers by the Nets. Renato Augusto Jersey . During halftime, Love told The Associated Press he would receive treatment Saturday night and hoped to play Monday night against Houston. "I knew that my quad was bothering me pretty bad so I went out there and tried to move around a little bit and it just wasnt quite right," Love said. Alex Sandro Jersey .ca.

Our B-3 Bomber machine is used by Soap Makers, Bath Bomb Makers and Contract Manufacturers to quickly scale up bath fizzy production to win and retain contracts. Some of our customers achieve production rates over 750 -- with one machine! Some of our larger customers produce 1,000,000 bath bombs per month operating multiple machines! Other customers are small businesses who appreciate the speed, safety and ease of our B-3 machines and molds.
Who doesn't enjoy a little pampering at the end of a long day? With our Bath Bomb Business Package, you can be the lucky person to introduce people to their next favorite thing--while making you a handsome profit!
What are Bath Bombs? They are effervescent, multi-sensory spheres that slowly dissolve and turn even ordinary baths into moments of tranquility and spa-like relaxation with delicate bubbles, soothing oils, enchanting fragrances and even beautiful flower petals.
If you are looking to get into the business of making and selling your own unique bath bombs or already have a bath bomb business and are ready to take it to the next level, our Bath Bomb Business package is for you!
To be able to make serious income from bath bombs, you need to be able to make significant numbers of bath bombs quickly and easily. With our B-3 Bomber Bath Bomb Machine, beginners can learn how to use the machine to make 250 bath bombs per hour. With a helper providing mix, over 450 per hour is possible! Some of our Customers are achieving over 750 bath bombs per hour, per machine! Some customers have many machines and are growing!
The 2nd key component of our Bath Bomb Business Package is the Bath Bomb Business Guide 3-ring binder. Inside are sales and marketing tips including strategies that will give you the confidence and creative ideas to sell your bath bombs for real profit! Materials suppliers are also listed.
For a batch of 225 bath bombs, ingredient cost (from suppliers I list in my business guide) would be about $85 dollars. This gives a per bath bomb ingredient cost of about $0.38/bomb. If you survey what bath bombs are priced in retail locations, you'll likely see a range of $3.00 to $8.00 per bath bomb. Typically Lush.com bath bombs are in the $4.95 + range. So at the 'low' end of $3.00, the profit would be $2.62 per bath bomb, or $589.50 for 225 bath bombs. If you sold them, say at $4.95, the profit would be $4.57 per bath bomb, or $1,028.25 for 225. Now do you see why Lush is doing so well?

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a machine-to-machine data-interchange format which is supported in MLNX-OS CLI.
The JSON API allows executing CLI commands and receiving outputs in JSON format which can be easily parsed by the calling software.
In order to get started with Mellanox Switch JSON API, a software tool that can perform operations such as GET/POST/PUT/DELETE is required.
Various tools can be used. For example:
- I'm Only Resting
- Chrome extension: Advance Rest Client
- Switch WebUI
The example below utilizes the I'm Only Resting tool.
Make sure you have management access to Mellanox's switch in your network.
1. Download and install the I'm Only Resting tool.
2. ssh login to the switch to enable JSON API.
switch (config) # json-gw enable
Save the configuration.
3. Perform the login operation in order to get the session cookie:
Set the proper username and password.
For example:
- URL: http://<switch-ip-address>/admin/launch?script=rh&template=login&action=login
- Select POST operation
- Headers: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- Body: f_user_id=admin&f_password=admin (or another user)
4. Copy the session cookie from the Response header in order to use it next for the POST requests.
5. Once you have the session id, add a cookie to the header and create a command (cmd) request in the body.
URL: http://<switch-ip-address>/admin/launch?script=json
Content-Type: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
cookie: session=<Session ID>
Body Structure:
"cmd": "<CLI command>"
Body example:
"cmd": "show interfaces ethernet status"
You can use a POST operation to run a command. For example: "show interfaces ethernet status"
JSON via Switch WebUI
It is possible to run the JSON API via the switch's WebUI. Click on Setup > JSON API and enter the command: "show interfaces ethernet status"
The full list of commands and more examples can be found in MLNX-OS User Manual.

HAHA! Yes ... that is Nelson's build-a-bear wearing a Pamper's newborn diaper! :)
This is how we spent our Thursday night ... watching Lost episodes & practicing putting diapers on the Bear! George hadn't changed a diaper since he was 14 and I hadn't changed one in months (maybe years??) so we thought it would be a good idea to practice! Luckily - the bear wasn't a wiggler! :)
Also, check out the new Pee-Pee Tee-pee's I made as well! :) They are so adorable!

We currently have 5 of these in stock.
The CB808 is the TR-808's analog cow bell sound generator adapted for Eurorack. It's a low-cost module that brings back that classic Cow Bell tone and continues to expand your Tiptop Audio modular drum machine.
Just like the other drums in this series, adapting the circuit to the modular format has allowed TTA to add some special features like Pitch Modulation, LFO (with control over rate and depth), independent Accent levels, a high-powered Gain stage, and a dual-input Pulse-shaper – all without compromising the signature sound of the TR-808's spacey cow wow.
The CB808 sound is generated by two square wave oscillators that go through band pass filtering and then get mixed together. It's a simple analog circuit with a very cool output. What makes the 808 Cow Bell sound so well known is that it doesn't feel constant, but rather slightly spacey. The internal pitch-modulating LFO added takes this effect even further, but stays within the bounds of the 808 sound, keeping it very musical and easy to play with.
Compatible with all the other drums in this series, the CB808 includes a high-powered output Gain stage capable of producing hot signals that can be easily distorted if desired. On the inputs, TTA have designed a dual-input Pulse-Shaper circuit so you can trigger the CB808 with trigger/gate signals from step sequencers, clock dividers, or any other pulse/clock sources. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module and ensures the same stable sound at peak power, regardless of your pulse source. All these unique features make integrating this legendary sound generator into your modular synth easy, unleashing the power of real analog drums.

OHA Lady Raiders down Heritage Academy
After five games in this infant season, the Oak Hill Lady Raiders have to be satisfied with their play on the court so far.
Julia Bristow scored 15 points and Alice Amelia Wooten contributed 11 boards as Oak Hill (4-1) bounced the Heritage Academy Lady Patriots 54-24 on Tuesday night at Oak Hill Academy in West Point.
"We are playing every game better and better offensively. That's what we want to see," Oak Hill Head Basketball Coach Brian Middleton said. "Our defense is creating turnovers, and we are generating points off those turnovers."
Oak Hill squares off against Starkville Academy at 2:30 Thursday afternoon in its final game of its invitational.

The MommaStrong team is resettling after an incredible weekend of our very first Recess, so please pardon the exterior proof of that in the form of any delays here on our site. We'll be caught up by the end of the day. ;)
So, today, on Truth Tuesday, I wanted to just mention one thing that I learned from the weekend. We, as moms, tend to give ourselves a hard time for not always enjoying every moment with our kids. We decide that instead of this being an obvious and normal result of being with a child at times, that there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed. And then we get sad. And then we try to distract ourselves from the sadness and from what we feel is some sort of fatal flaw as a mom.
And I want to just say this: There is nothing to be fixed, except the perspective AND a deeper look into how we might not be "feeding" ourselves. If our lives and who we are get delineated by a label of "mom," then we stand at risk of forgetting that we have a lot going on within and around that facet of our existence. And when we aren't doing at least teeny tiny things to express, nurture, and discover who we are, then we will certainly start feeling the "shoulds" of the mom label come pressing down. That's when we start taking waaaaaaaay too seriously how and if we love every moment of playing with our kids.
What are you doing to feed you? What risks are you taking to stretch outside the mom container?
I've included a clip above of Louis CK doing a bit on playing with kids and how boring it can be. It's hilarious. While you're watching yourself ask the following questions:
- Because he has confessed this, do I now see him as a shitty dad?
- Is it possible that he is able to give himself a break and laugh about this reality because he has established a very strong link to expressing himself outside of his parent role?

Today, February 19th marks my final day of employment at Cerner Corporation. I've spent just under a year here as a member of the Online Marketing team. Like I blogged previously, I am leaving the company to take what is in many ways a dream job for me: Community Manager at AMC. I've received an outpouring of support from my wife, my family, close friends, my church, the readers of this blog, my followers on Twitter and my friends on Facebook. Even the people that I work with at Cerner have been amazingly supportive (despite now having a rather large awesomeness void to fill) and they know how well-suited I am for this position and how much I'm looking forward to it.
All told, I'm really overwhelmed by the support that people have given me.
And as easy of a decision it may have seemed from the outside, you should know that I struggled at times. See, despite what everyone says, Cerner is a really good place to work. I wasn't really actively searching for this position. In a lot of ways, it found me. But when your dream job comes knocking, you open the freaking door.
Unfortunately, that meant that I had to close a door at Cerner. During a time of uncertainty last year, I was given an amazing opportunity to join a great team at an industry-leading company that is poised to have a huge next several years. And not only that, but I got to do work that I was proud of, that I was good at, and that I enjoyed:
- I worked on the team that launched uCern, Cerner's collaboration platform for its clients and partners.
- I led the social media efforts for the company during their annual health conference last October.
- I helped write the best practices for all Cerner associates as they get engaged in new social, collaborative platforms and channels.
- And most recently, I've been able to work on another large web initiative with some of my professional design and development idols, Happy Cog Studios.
It was that work that made my experience different than the one that had been described by all the friends I worked with at Perceptive Software that had left Cerner with a sour taste in their mouths. My experience was very positive. I worked with smart people on great projects and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's true that Cerner expects the best out of its associates, but that's one of the keys to their success. Having an open mind when I was hired gave me the right expectation.
To all my Cerner friends, I salute you. You made going to work enjoyable and rewarding. To the Online Marketing team — Sara, Jake, David, Lance and Jason — keep crushing it. You guys have been a blast to work with. If it were any other position at any other company, I would not be leaving.
But as they say…"it is what it is…"
