Were you recently involved in a car accident with a distracted driver? A driver who does not have his or her full attention on the road while driving places him or herself and everyone else on the road at risk. Driving requires one's undivided attention. Even a small distraction or taking one's eyes off the road for a moment may cause a collision to occur. At the Law Offices of David R. Silva, we represent victims of distracted driver accidents throughout Sonoma County. We understand that these accidents could have easily been prevented if the other driver had been acting cautiously, and we know the frustration this knowledge may bring. To find out more about your legal rights and options in seeking justice against the driver responsible for your collision, contact a Petaluma personal injury lawyer at our offices. Your initial consultation is free and entirely confidential. This will be your opportunity to find out more about your legal rights and options.
Although there are many new laws to prevent drivers from using their phones while driving, many drivers disregard these laws and continue to talk, text, or browse the internet while driving. When a driver is not paying attention to the road, pedestrians, bicyclists and other drivers, he or she will be more prone to involvement in an accident, whether this is one of his or her own causing. A distracted driver may also have insufficient time to react to a hazard, a change in traffic or an accident that has already occurred. Taking one's eyes off the road or hands off the steering wheel for even a split second may make all the difference.
Make sure you protect your rights after a car accident caused by a distracted driver. Contact a Sonoma County car accident attorney at our firm today.

I.D.India, 2012 | Kamal Karamattathil Muhammed
Sam Roggen checks in from Antwerp to report on I.D., a film whose expressively staged compositions inventively expand the visual field beyond the borders of the visible frame.
The defining moment in Kamal Karamattathil Muhammed's I.D. takes place in the aftermath of a kinetically visualised party in a Mumbai appartment. The film's main character Charu (Geetanjali Thapa), a young graduate of apparently prosperous background, suddenly becomes aware of the indistinct troubles she has got herself into by attempting to trace the relatives of a painter who collapsed in her apartment earlier that day. Kamal envisions the preceding scenes, including Charu's tumultuous efforts to get the unconscious man to a hospital, in a frenetically edited amalgam of baroque angles, superficial blue filters and blunt sound design.
He then offers a welcome refuge from this somewhat unbalanced genre exercise when Charu, having thrown out the last quarrelling party guests, remains with her elderly neighbour Aunty. While she fruitlessly tries to contact the painter's relatives, the film turns away from its pulsating rhythm for the first time, providing room for a moment of intense contemplation. We perceive a pondering Charu in medium close-up, flanked on one side by the immobile Aunty, and on the other by a window revealing the chaotic traffic of nightly Mumbai. In the next shot, cinematographer Madhu Neelakandan's telephoto lens captures a big close-up of her, now accompanied only by the shallow headlights in the distance, generating an abstract painterly flatness reminiscent of Michael Mann's nocturnal cityscapes. When she hangs up the phone in the following shot, the blurry traffic pictorially merges with the low-key reflection of her face in the window-glass.
This elusive (but nevertheless revelatory) moment strikingly echoes the poetics of Edward Yang. In Yi yi (2000) he repeatedly invites us to examine characters in direct relation to their environment, the disorderly metropolis Taipei. In order to do so, Yang employs his trademark mise-en-scène of static long takes and panoramic compositions, granting us time and space to scan the whole frame meticulously. The hasty and impersonal Taiwanese capital became a crucial element of Yang's overall aesthetics, often reflecting, if not contrasting the troubled minds of his protagonists. When Min-Min (Elaine Jin) finds herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Yang elegantly marks a sharp contrast between her intense despair and the impersonal, impenetrable city surrounding her. Yang stages her, absorbed in thought, in front of a window, in which her reflection merges with the busy streets of Taipei. He thus suggests that precisely this environment suffocates Min-Min, a suggestion further strengthened by a subsequent scene showing her leaving for a retreat in a Buddhist temple in the woods.
Kamal applies a similar visual strategy to imply tension between psyche and environment. He combines two disharmonic images within the boundaries of the static composition, with reflecting surfaces generating an expressive tableau. He thereby obscures the frame, but at the same time creates a visual overlap with an off-screen reality (just as in the case of Yi yi, a disturbed female character). The resulting ambiguous composition offers an intra-frame variation of the dialectic montage cells; the combination of two images with a radically opposing tone produces above all a pictorial synthesis.
The allegorical parallel with Yi yi becomes all the more relevant when, a few scenes later, Charu has a job interview and her potential employer notices that she looks as if she prefers the more relaxed life style of her former home towns Sikkim and Calcutta, instead of the hectic existence in Mumbai. At the end of their conversation, her cell phone (the film's leitmotif) rings, eliciting an insert shot of this token of her hectic life, again subtly accompanied by her own reflection in the metal tabletop. With these expressively staged compositions, Kamal inventively expands the optical universe. In spite of his apparently dense mise-en-scène, in these moments, the visual field stretches out beyond the borders of the visible frame. This attention for what takes place off-screen visualises the Bazinian idea of limitlessness, and the cinema as an infinite locus dramaticus, denying all frontiers to the action. The screen is indeed not a picture frame but a mask, allowing only a part of reality to be seen. It requires a cinephile spectatorial posture to perceive as much of the captured reality as possible.
Sam Roggen is a teaching and research assistant and PhD student in Film Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Antwerp. In his PhD, he examines transformed manifestations of cinephilia. Before joining the Visual Studies and Media Culture research group in October 2012, he worked for the Flanders International Film Festival Ghent, the Flemish Service for Film Culture, Cinema Zuid (Antwerp) and Docville International Documentary Film Festival. He is the co-founder of and a regular contributor to the cinephile blog Photogénie (www.photogenie.be).

If you didn't follow along yesterday but would like to try today's dish, that's OK. You can still come to this ramen party. Chicken or vegetable stock will do in place of the pork stock, and you can use grilled chicken, tofu, or even a poached egg as your protein in place of the pulled pork.
Now let's get to it.
Spicy quick pickled radishes (recipe via Cookie + Kate)
Pork stock
Ramen noodles*
Vegetables (I'm using kale and mushrooms, but bok choy, peas, and corn are also great here)
Shredded pork
Miso paste (about 1 tbs per cup of stock)*
Sesame oil*
Scallions, diced
Jalapeño, diced
Lime wedges
*You can find these items at any Asian grocery. Richmonders, get thee to Tan A.
(If you're using store-bought stock, then start heating this up on the stove. Add a couple of scallions, garlic cloves, and a piece of ginger if you have it to give some extra flavor to the stock as it heats.)
Start a pot of water on high heat on the stove for ramen noodles. Preheat broiler. Meanwhile, slice mushrooms thinly and tear washed kale into bite size pieces. You can arrange these vegetables into the bowls you'll be using for the ramen now (they'll cook some once you pour the hot broth over them), or if you like you can gently sauté or steam them first before adding them to the bowls.
Once the water for the ramen is boiling, add ramen noodles and cook 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Arrange shredded pork on a baking sheet and place under broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until ends are crispy and browned. While ramen noodles and pork cook, add miso paste to your stock according to package instructions (and remove vegetables if you added them to your store-bought stock), and stir until dissolved.
When noodles are done, strain and separate them into your ramen bowls. Add pork. Pour miso-stock mixture into the bowls last. Add a drizzle of sesame oil, and garnish with scallions, cilantro, jalapeño, lime wedge, and pickled radishes.

People from all over the world visit this gorgeous city to catch one of their favourite plays. The theatre world has been known to dazzle audiences from all walks of life for years now.

First recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1887, Great Danes have made a reputation for themselves as gentle giants. The breed is most commonly described as friendly, patient, and dependable, the perfect temperament for a service dog. While they obviously require a lot of food due to their size, they are generally fairly low maintenance.
Their short coat requires only occasional grooming and despite their size, they are not incredibly high-needs in the exercise department, either. In fact, too much exercise can lead to bone and joint problems due to their massive size.
It seems that one Great Dane has taken that advice a little too literally, because all he wants to do is stay in bed all day! Yep, all six-year-old Max seems to want to do is chill out all day. He's just lounging around in the bed when his Mom tells him to get off the bed. Even though he's deaf, all it takes is one quick look at her for him to know exactly what's going on. Still, Max isn't having any of it and he isn't shy about showing his true feelings about this unpopular decision!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Tail Light Guards & Covers and other Auto Accessories topics.
Euro tail lights have become all the rage, especially in the street racing community. These clear tail lights are a very common accessory, but expect to pay the price for these custom tail lights. For instance, for a 2003 or 2004 Honda Civic (a very common vehicle among street racers), you could shell out between $500 to $1000 for both head lights and tail lights. There are cheaper brands and cheaper prices for Euro tail lights.
Does this head light give any added performance or safety to the vehicle ? No! But they do look good on your vehicle.
Are they durable? Yes! Sometimes, a lot more durable than the factory tail lights, depending on the make of the vehicle. Euro tail lights are probably the answer to faded tail lights. But always do your homework before buying any after market accessory. Tail lights should be no exception.
Do these tail lights increase the value of your vehicle? Sometimes, depending on the vehicle. Some people are in the market for a vehicle with this type of accessory and will consider the higher asking price.
Black tail lights have been around for years. These are a dark tinted or smoke colored tail light guards. Even though some vehicles do not have the option of the black tail lights or head lights, most vehicles do. Some are made from a polymer material, others are clear/tinted fiber glass and some are carbon fiber. All are a mixture of different materials, for added strength, durability and color. You can get black-out kits for a fraction of what you would spend on Euro tail lights. You can remove then without having to replace your head lights or tail lights. Normally, the cost for a good set of black tail light covers will cost between $35 and $80.

I'm looking forward to seeing this tonight
I have never seen a Chaplin film with a live orchestra so I'm vey excited. There was a nice write-up about the show in the Lexington paper yesterday, so I hope some people will come out to see it. Unfortunately, there is a UK (University of KY) basketball game on TV tonight (UK vs LSU in the SEC tournament), and here in the Big Blue Nation that trumps everything. Even though my husband is a fan of both Charlie and orchestral music, I know he'll still be dying to check the score about halfway through the show.
8 comments:
Lucky you! It's such a treat to see the film as it was intended- on the big screen with live music, I'm a bit envious. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
I hope you enjoy it! I'm seeing City Lights in Chicago next week with a live orchestra and I can't wait!ReplyDeleteReplies
Have fun, Jordan! That's one I've always wanted to see with an orchestra.Delete
- Carrie PomeroyMarch 15, 2014 at 3:32 PM
How was it? Maybe you posted elsewhere about the experience, but I didn't see it. I hope it was glorious.ReplyDeleteReplies
I posted a couple of photos on Facebook.I was going to write up something here but just haven't had time. The orchestra did a fantastic job. At times you almost forgot that they were playing live. The audience laughed in all the right places and seemed to really enjoy it. The guy next to me laughed hysterically at the scene where Charlie unknowingly uses a dog leash for a belt. There was enthusiastic applause following the roll dance & the scene where Charlie escapes from the cabin before it goes over the cliff. It was a great evening--and very well-attended, much to my surprise.Delete
Yay! I love it when people enjoy Chaplin films! It lets me know that there are still people who are into that sort of comedy and can appreciate the classics. I always find interesting that some older people have never heard of Charlie while my college aged self knows tons about him. I find that very strange.Delete
My mother-in-law will be 99 next month (she was born the same day the film "The Tramp" was released). Although she has heard of Chaplin, she has never seen one of his films, not even as a little girl. She claims it's because the small town in Indiana where she grew up didn't have a movie theater.Delete

Financial Freedom Update: August 2017
Welcome to my financial freedom report for August. This is where I go back over the numbers from the past month and see how things went. I realize that what you focus on expands. So I am making a point to introduce a few new parts of my financial update. They are
Net worth
Financial Freedom Factor
Let's get started and see what happened this month.
Changes in Total Net Worth
(As I mentioned in the inaugural net worth update. When it comes to monthly reports I'm going a different route than a lot of others. Instead of going through the nitty-gritty of every detail on my net worth statement. I'm taking a macro view so we don't get bogged down by the details.)
of Earned Income For The Month
The growth in our net worth this month really came from some extra income through freelancing. I'm am starting to take on more freelancing work and all of the money is being saved at the moment. Add on that this site has seem some great growth over the past month it makes for a roller coaster of fun.
This site is also turning a profit every month so that helps. It's not huge but it's amazing what a year can do with consistent work. If you are interested in starting your own blog I highly recommend it. You can read up on it here.
Expenses for August
I dont' know what to say. Our expenses for the month were low. The biggest reason for this is our trip to Disney. Which doesn't make sense when I say it out loud. Except that it does. Most of our Disney trip was paid in advance of August. So we came home with some lower spending than we anticipated. Ok technically the spending was higher because of the trip, but I counted that into my spending as we made our payments so the hit isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
Compare August Spending to August of Last Year
One of the great things about tracking your finances for years with Personal Capital or Mint, is that you can go back and see how you did from one year to another.
Our spending was lower than last year because it was done in advance. Such a strange month…
Financial Freedom Report
There are four pillars to my financial plan,
Total Expenses / Passive Income
This is the most important part of my financial plan. My net worth can go up and down, or stay flat. I don't care. What concerns me more is my financial freedom factor.
This is when you take your expenses for the month and divide it by the income you are earning passively such as income through investments, real estate and business systems.
The idea of this number is that once it equals 1, you are financially free. Anything larger than 1 requires that you either increase your income or reduce your expenses. If the number is below 1, then you are doing even better, because you are taking in more income than you spent in the month.
Based on this month my Freedom Factor is
Slowly but surely this number is getting better. I have a long way to go before I reach financial freedom. If you are looking at your freedom number and thinking "There is no way I can do this!" You aren't alone.
This doesn't happen overnight. It happens a little bit at a time, month in and month out. Just like any big goal, give yourself time and permission to go after it.
One Last Thing
If you would rather track your net worth with software Personal Capital or Mint.com are good choices. Both are completely free.
If you are wanting to track your net worth either one is a good place to start. Personally, I absolutely love being able to see my net worth every day as it's a huge motivator to keep making smart financial decisions.
If you are needing a primer on net worth, you should sign up for our newsletter and get the Net Worth Template I have used for 10 years. It's absolutely free, plus I'll throw in some other goodies too.

We had so much fun this past weekend visiting the annual Fall Festival at Greendell Landscape Solutions in Mooresville! If you've never been to this Morgan County Fall tradition, get it on your calendar, stat. The Fall Festival includes three distinct aspects - the corn maze, pumpkin patch and the play area. A trip to the pumpkin patch and play area via hayride is only $3 per person (kids age 2 and under are free).
The pumpkin patch features wheel barrows to help you haul your prize pumpkins and a great fire ring that's perfect for chilly fall days. Pumpkins are priced by size - mini's start at only 50 cents and prices range up to $20 for an XXLarge pumpkin. So, the first thing you're going to do is board the hayride!
Our favorite part of the Fall Festival is always the corn maze and in 2016 it featured a fun Harry Potter theme! Admission to the corn maze is $9 per person ($7 for kids age 3-11 and ages 2 and under are free). A family special rate includes hayrides, pumpkin patch, play area and corn maze for $40 and there are also group rates available (call ahead to schedule groups at 317-996-2826). Once the hayride reached the wooded area, we hopped off the wagon and followed the spiders (they're not real, folks) a short way through the woods to a magical portkey that transported us to the Marauder's Maze. (This year's corn maze theme is Moonlit Memories and Lunar Legends.)
Along the way, you'll find questions based on to help guide you to the shortest route. Those familiar with the popular series of books will have no trouble navigating the maze but a few of the questions are a bit tricky, so watch out for those!
Our friends from Arizona remarked on how tall the corn is here - something we've never thought much about, but I supposed the Midwest is the very best place to enjoy a great corn maze!
We will warn you that there may be a few places where the corn sustained some damage during this year's summer storms, but that didn't affect our enjoyment of the maze a bit. After successfully reaching the end of the maze, we traveled on to the pumpkin patch to choose our Halloween jack-o-lantern canvases for the year.
The play area includes a small play house for the little ones, giant tractor tires and a straw pile to climb on and lots of fun games. There's a ball toss, giant checkers, giant jenga, corn hole (of course) and more for kids of all ages to enjoy. We had a blast playing jenga, making up new rules for checkers and taking a few selfies. When we were finally ready to return to the parking area, the concession stand was a welcome sight with cold apple cider and soft drinks!
If you haven't had quite enough fall fun by the time you leave, nearby you'll find Anderson Orchard where you can indulge in apple picking, fresh raspberries (until the first hard frost) and yummy treats from their concession stand, including frozen cider slushies and fried apple pies!
If you go:
- If you have a large group, please call ahead at 317-996-2826 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
- The concession area features lots of options - burgers, BBQ, cookies, cider. etc. but they're only open on weekends.
If you go on a weekday, choose from nearby local favorites for lunch or dinner.
- Special 2017 dates during the fall festival include October 6-7, when you can enjoy the corn maze by moonlight, from 7 pm to Midnight, and October 28, when you can participate in a Halloween Costume Competition. Have you photo taken in your costume and enter to win an Amazon gift card. All ages welcome to participate. There are even special goodies for anyone in costume!

June 1, 2016 - Word of the Day
BibleGateway.com - Passage Lookup: Exodus 19-21
Exodus 20:5
"You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me."
"You shall have no other gods before Me."
This statement not a quote, it is a commandment. This wasn't a choice for the people of Israel it was demand upon their life. This is the first of 10 commandments that God gave to the people. But let's not miss why He gave that commandment.
God said, "For I the Lord your God, am a jealous God."
We see the negative side of jealousy in relationship. Jealousy in relationship has wrecked many marriages. In this scripture God's jealousy isn't a negative thing…it is incredibly positive.
It means He will protect His people. He is the Lord our God. With Him in our life…we don't need anything else to take His place. He has already shown His protecting power to the people.
It also means He will provide for His people. God had provided manna from heaven. He had given them water to quench their thirst. He wanted to provide for them.
It means that He will prosecute His people. God said He will deal with the iniquity, (sin) of the people until the third and fourth generation of those who hated Him. To prosecute is to hold someone accountable. He hold us accountable for those times when our heart is not completely focused on Him. He is not going to allow our disobedience to go unpunished. That may frighten you now…but consider this…
"All we like sheep have gone astray and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6 Jesus has borne the pain and the agony for our sins. All we have to do is confess in agreement with Him about our sin.
God is a jealous God. But He is jealous because He knows the depths of evil in this world. He is jealous because He knows the weakness of His people. He is jealous because He loves us and desires His very best for our life.
Father, we love You we lay our life before You. We place nothing in front of You for You are our God…In Jesus Name…AMEN!!!

DNA testing to establish a Healthy Weight Diet!
It's FINALLY here! For those of you who have followed every "FAD" diet on the market place, it will be of no surprise to you that there would be a HUGE interest in knowing what our genetic predisposition for obesity is. A few years ago the "Blood Type Diet" reached a certain level of popularity with it's pseudo-scientific claims… but were they accurate?
The claims that the authors made really didn't have the solid scientific basis that the population deserved, but there is scientific evidence that one's propensity to gain and hold on to excess weight is definitely linked to our genes.
We all know those people throughout our lives who seem to eat whatever they want, whenever they want and never seem to gain an ounce of excess fat. For those of us who struggle to maintain a normal or "cosmetically" overweight body weight, we have intuitively known for years that part of our issue is just simply "not our fault".
Now, due in part to the "Human Genome Project", which was an international scientific project to map out all of genes that make up human DNA, we now have the ability to run a DNA test with a simple saliva sample that gives us a HUGE amount of information regarding you and your weight and how you should eat to maintain a healthy weight.
I am anticipating these frequently asked questions, but feel free to contribute more.
Q: What do I need to do to get this information?
A: Book a wellness consultation with one of our wellness experts and they will review the test with you and help you collect a sample of saliva for testing.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: In our offices we charge a Wellness Consultation fee; and the lab fee is billed directly to your insurance by the lab. According the lab, this may be covered by your insurance plan with a balance owed by the patient of anywhere between $99 and $399 depending on your individual insurance plan. The company states that 2013 rates averaged $99 due from the patient and they will work with the patient to pay what they can afford. FreshSkin cannot bill your insurance for this consultation.
Q: What information will I get from this test?
A: You will get a very extensive report that will outline everything including:
Your matching diet – the type of diet you should consume based on your unique genetic makeup,
Your eating behaviors – If you tend to be a snacker, your ability to feel full, food desires, food disinhibition and if you have a sweet tooth!
Your nutritional needs – your genes dictate how well you absorb or don't absorb your vitamins and minerals
Your exercise – how you respond to endurance exercise, how your HDL (good cholesterol) will respond to exercise, what happens to your insulin sensitivity in response to exercise
Your body and weight – what your propensity for obesity is, how likely you are to regain your weight after dieting, your metabolism and your Adiponectin (a protein that regulates blood sugar levels and fatty acid breakdown)
Metabolic health factors like your tendency to develop high cholesterol
Health Conditions like your tendency to develop diabetes, osteoarthritis or elevated Triglycerides, and your tendency to form blood clots
Your response to a limited number of medications
How COOL is THAT???
Q: Why would I want to know this information?
A: We live in a proactive world, and we now have lots of tools at our disposal that we will use to counteract your genetic predispositions. Why make them a reality?
In addition, how many diets have you been on that failed? How many where you regained your weight back and more? Knowing what and how you should eat may put an end to all of this yo-yo dieting that many Americans have been subjected to over their lifetimes. This is truly personalized preventive medicine.
Q: Why should I believe the scientific evidence, if you said the science behind the Blood Type Diet isn't valid?
A: There have been multiple behavioral health studies performed on large populations of individuals with some very solid conclusions derived at the end of the study. They have then looked at the genes of these individuals and found the relationship with particular genes and outcomes. This is very different than saying "every person with A blood should eat a particular diet, and B blood another diet. The information we are looking at is much more detailed and involves a level of sophistication that is very difficult to explain in a Q and A format. This test is about YOU, using your DNA.
What are you waiting for??? Come in and spit in a jar to get the answers you deserve!

In today's amusing Diablo 3 news comes our discovery of a post on Wiztechie where they discovered an exploit that allows a wizard to become totally invulnerable to damage.
More after the jump…
UPDATE: This exploit appears to have been patched now, so I hope you all enjoyed your invulnerable wizards while they lasted!
This trick only works for Wizards but is incredibly simple: A wizard must have Teleport – Fracture and Archon as two of their abilities and then hit the keys to trigger both at exactly the same moment. You will know it has worked if you transform to archon and no after-images are left by teleport.
I didn't believe that this was real until I just tried it, and yes, it works. Clearly Blizzard has been spending too much time worrying about how to make money on the Auction House and not nearly enough on fixing bugs like this!
Here's a video from Wiz Techie demonstrating the exploit:
Might as well try it for a few kicks if you play a Wizard, as I'm sure this one is not going to last long!
That's Yo "and I thought the Wind-Up Build was OP" Garbage!

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
When I went for my abortion, they were there: anti-abortion protesters with their misleading imagery of bloody, late-term baby-looking fetuses, re-enforcing their belief that I was killing my unborn child. I wasn't. I was as convinced then as I am now that a woman opting out of pregnancy is not the same thing as taking the life of another human being. The truth, I understood, looked a lot different than the way those protestors saw it, and the proof -- for me -- is in the pictures, pictures that some people are reluctant to see.This is my abortion, a campaign created anonymously by a woman who took pictures of a pregnancy she terminated at six weeks, shows a very different reality to abortion than those images that assaulted me as I walked into my appointment. Four Instagram-looking images of some medical looking devices, including a jar with an inch or so of red frothy stuff at the bottom, demonstrate that your garden variety abortion is "basically like getting your period all at once," describes one feminist blogger, Amanda Marcotte. "My hope is this project will help dispel the fear, lies and hysteria around abortion, and empower women to make educated decisions for their bodies," explains the site's creator. This is my abortion is a pro-choice campaign in the same spirit as the Internet site I had an abortion and Jennifer Baumgardner's "I Had an Abortion" project of 2004. The purpose of such work is to demystify and de-stigmatize an experience that no less than one in three U.S. women will have at some point in their lives. Similar to its predecessors, the website This is my abortion includes a comments section, which its creator describes as a "safe space for people to share, connect, and support one another on the matter of abortion." Some argue that people's personal lives are just that -- personal -- and they ought to stay that way, political benefits aside. Whereas I agree that no one is beholden to "come out" and identify themselves in a stigmatizing way -- certainly not when doing so may threaten that individual's personal well being -- I disagree with people who go so far as to say that such campaigns do more harm than good. "I don't want to talk about my abortion in polite company, or impolite company, or any company at all, really," says an anonymous author at Jezebel in a piece called Why I Won't Talk About My Abortion, "just as I don't want to talk about having hemorrhoids or the consistency of my menstrual flow." And yet, ironically, this woman IS talking about having an abortion, albeit anonymously -- just as the woman behind This is my abortion has also chosen to withhold her name. We talk publicly about having had an abortion, anonymously or not, because -- unlike hemorrhoids or periods -- abortions are a hotly contested political issue. Hemorrhoids aren't caused by a lack of access to affordable contraception nor can the criminalization or stigmatization of people who have hemorrhoids compel a woman to carry a hemorrhoid for nine months, watch that hemorrhoid turn into a child, and be forced to make the now-difficult decision whether to keep that child or surrender it to adoption... OK, my metaphor has long since broken down but, well, she started it. Personal experiences shape and inform our political views. Whether they are our own stories or the stories of others with whom we come into contact, first person testimony breathes human life into otherwise abstract statistics, better understanding that follows us into the ballot booth. According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, for example, people who know someone who's gay are 20 points more likely than others to support gay marriage. This is the reason that women who've had abortions speak up: in support of others who can't, and to protect all of our right to have the choice. As we all know, there are plenty of people speaking from the opposition, and what they say is sometimes simply not true.
A couple years ago, on my commute to work, I was met by a poster featuring a glum-faced woman staring blankly at me, "I thought life would be like the way it was before," it read. Then: "Abortion changes you." No, it didn't, I remember thinking at the time. Speak for yourself.For some women-- possibly even many or most women, it's hard to know when we don't talk about it -- having an abortion is a difficult decision, one that causes them profound grief. For me, having an abortion wasn't a serious experience, and there's enough messaging in this world that tells me that it should have been that I think the world can withstand 1,200 or so words describing the experience in an opposite way. Whereas I may have had strong negative feelings about getting pregnant -- guilt, mostly, because I was cheating on my boyfriend at the time, and my whole life was a mess -- I had no negative feelings whatsoever about having an abortion. Hell, of all the decisions I made at 22, it was probably one of the best of the lot. When it was happening, all I felt -- other than 30 seconds of sharp, bright pain -- was relief. Terminating my unintended pregnancy was the right thing to do, and I was as absolutely certain of this then as I am today.The truth is that my abortion was no big deal -- and apparently I'm not alone in feeling this way -- and so long as there are people clamoring to tell me differently -- and lawmakers vying to take away my right to this choice -- I won't stop sharing this experience, and encouraging other women to share theirs.

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of 23:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC).
Scott Robert Griffiths (born 27 November 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full-back and is unattached.
He has played in the Football League for Dagenham & Redbridge, Peterborough United, Chesterfield, Crawley Town, Rotherham United, Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town. Griffiths has won three titles in his career; the Conference Premier with both Dagenham and Luton, and League Two with Chesterfield. He has been capped twice by the England C team.
Born in Westminster, Greater London, Griffiths started his career playing for Basildon-based team Beech United in 1998, before signing for Southend United's youth system in 1999. He left in 2001 and joined the football academy at Thurrock and Basildon College, where he played for one year. Whilst playing for the academy team, they won their league and two cup competitions. He was also capped for Essex county football team, and missed out on a place in the England Under-19 team when he was injured before the final trial.
After college, aged 17, he signed for Isthmian League Division One North club Aveley.
On 11 August 2004, Griffiths signed for Conference National club Dagenham & Redbridge on a three-year contract. He made his debut as a 90th-minute substitute in a 4–1 away win over Forest Green Rovers on 17 August 2004. He was played at left back, and went on to make 18 league appearances in the 2004–05 season.
Griffiths' performances for Dagenham led to him being called up by the England National Game XI team. He played against the Netherlands in the last of England's European Challenge Trophy group games on 29 November 2006, which saw them finish top of their group with maximum points. He also played in the 3–1 away defeat to Northern Ireland on 14 February 2007.
In the 2006–07 season, Dagenham & Redbridge gained promotion to League Two as Conference champions, with Griffiths playing in 45 of the club's 46 league games. He continued to feature regularly following Dagenham's promotion, playing in 41 and 44 league games during the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons respectively. He made 15 appearances for Dagenham during the 2009–10 season, before signing on loan for Championship club Peterborough United on 23 October 2009, with a view to a permanent move.
Griffiths left Dagenham having played in 222 games in all competitions, scoring four goals.
Griffiths signed a permanent three-and-a-half-year deal with Peterborough United on 22 January 2010. He played in 20 league games, as Peterborough were relegated to League One at the end of the season.
Griffiths was not seen to have future in the squad by new manager Gary Johnson, who loaned him to Chesterfield at the beginning of the 2010–11 season, on an initial month-long loan deal. He later had his loan extended for a further two months until 6 November 2010. After making 19 appearances for the club, Griffiths rejoined Chesterfield until the end of the season. Griffiths made a total of 33 appearances for Chesterfield during the season, helping them to win the League Two title.
Griffiths' next two seasons were characterised by short-term loan deals, as he failed to make another appearance for Peterborough. He joined League Two club Crawley Town on a one-month loan in September 2011, making six appearances. Griffiths returned to Chesterfield on 25 November 2011, signing a loan deal until 2 January 2012, playing in four matches. He then joined League Two club Rotherham United on loan on 10 January 2012 for the remainder of the 2011–12 season, making eight appearances.
He featured in a behind closed doors game for Forest Green Rovers in September 2012 against Bournemouth, and later joined Plymouth Argyle in League Two on loan for one month.
Having returned to Peterborough in November 2012, Griffiths left the club at the end of January 2013 after his contract was cancelled six months early by mutual consent.
Griffiths signed for Conference Premier club Luton Town on 25 March 2013, linking back up with his former Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still. He signed a short-term contract until the end of the 2012–13 season. After impressing in the six games he played for the club, Luton tied Griffiths to a one-year contract extension. He played in every league game of Luton's successful 2013–14 season as the club were crowned Conference Premier champions, with Griffiths a part of the defence that kept a club-record 23 clean sheets. Griffiths played enough games throughout the season to trigger an extension clause in his contract, keeping him at Luton until June 2015.
He played in 35 league games throughout the 2014–15 season, earning a further year's extension to his contract in the process.
During the 2015–16 season, Griffiths made 24 appearances in all competitions under the management of John Still and caretaker manager Andy Awford, before the appointment of Nathan Jones as the new Luton manager on 6 January 2016.
On 30 January 2016, Griffiths joined National League club Woking on a 28-day loan. On the same day, Griffiths made his Woking debut in a 2–2 draw with Barrow, in which he scored an own goal to give Barrow a 1–0 lead. He made four appearances for the club in all competitions.
On 10 May 2016, it was announced that Griffiths would not have his contract renewed. He left the club upon the expiry of his contract.

Yes, I can understand why your daughter believes Marley is seeing a spirit or angel. A family member of mine experienced the same thing as a baby. She's now an elder in her 80s (a wise woman), and she loves to tell me the story of how my grandmother would come into her room and see her doing the same thing that Marley does.

She is also the one who inspired me to believe what I received about each one of us having a star that was created in space when we were born. She says that when we die, or star dies too--that there's a direct correlation.

Pretty scary some of the experiences...Interesting! Pretty scary some of the experiences Mr. Baker and you as well described.

My grandbaby Marley is 9 months but I swear she just stops and stares in the corner of the room, it looks as if she is watching and following with her eyes, someone's movements. Of course there is nothing there. She even interacts; gurgles, laughs and points and she will do this for long periods of times.

My daughter believes she is conversing with her sister who died after living for only 30 minutes. My daughter truly believes her baby is interacting with a spirit.

I don't disbelieve but I can't wrap my head around it. All I do know is that it's just too consistent to be random. And there is nothing wrong with my grandbaby's eyesight so it's not like she is unfocused. During these 'whatever' she is definitely focused.

Like Mr. Baker stated, it's much more out in the open these days. I am glad for people like you and him. Because of people like you it is easier for my daughter and grandbaby if Marley continues with these interactions into preschool age.

The numerology was very interesting as well. Thank you so much for sharing.Cate Mckoyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481527399470057908.post-9674866914450175352012-01-01T08:20:44.562-05:002012-01-01T08:20:44.562-05:00Happy New Year!

My husband recently booked several sessions for me with Val after witnessing me falling further and further into a depression. It turned out to be the best gift he has ever given me.

I was not familiar with the body's energy systems and how they affect our body. After the explanation, Val then used health kinesiology (muscle testing) to read my body. She placed two Chumpi stones in my hands and the session began. As I laid there my body began to tremble and my eyes began to tear. It was like having someone open a gate that released all the stress and anxiety that has been in me for years. I could feel the energy in my body race from my toes to the top of my head. When the session was complete, I felt enlightened and full of energy. My family was amazed to see that not only did I look younger, but I was laughing and happy for the first time in over a year.

On my second visit with Val, I let her know that I had to go on a job interview at a video conference center for a Controller position. I am a shy person and was very nervous about the video conference. She helped me to mentally prepare for the conference. When I arrived at the video conference the following day, I was surprised to discover that there were six people on the conference instead of the two I was expecting. While I was waiting to start I thought of my session with Val the previous day. I began to feel the energy flow through my body. The video conference started and I was asked questions by the six people who were the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President, the Chief Financial officer, the North America Director and the Israeli Controller. The session lasted for an hour. When it was over, I was amazed that I had accomplished something I could not have done the previous week. With Val's help I was able be hired for the North America Controller position, and finally, end my job search.

I intend to continue my sessions with Val because I have never experienced anyone with her incredible healing powers. I only two sessions she was able to turn my life around.

Prior to the call and not really knowing what to expect I prepared a brief written paragraph about a particular issue that has been dogging my soul. Val led the session and I did not share my issue or my prepared paragraph about the issue in advance of our session as I followed Val's lead, through a meditation.The healing that took place was transformational in that Val's words and the chum pi stones that Val selected based on her healing method were astonishing and accurate for my particular issue.She explained the reasons behind selecting just those particular healing stones. Then shared with me what came up for her including a visit from one of my guides.The guide had a special message for me and it pertained to the situation and specifically the words I had used in that paragraph I had prepared in advance but hadn't yet shared with Val. My take away was understanding about the confusion and the specific things that were blocking my path along with a balancing in the area of compassion and manifestation and a release of the issue at hand. Chill gave me chills in a good way and brought me the peace and healing I needed. Thank you Val.

|Pork Carnitas via Decor Chick
In an effort to simplifying my life and make things as easy as possible, I'm trying to become a crock-potter.
When we first got married, we received a fancy crock pot that I was so excited about! However, due to limited space restrictions the crock pot hasn't typically made regular appearances in the Williams household…until now.
How amazing is it that you can wake up, throw some stuff in a pot in less than 5 minutes, press a button, and then come dinner time, you have a full meal ready for you?! It truly is miraculous!
Yesterday was my first attempt at becoming a crock-potter and I have to say, I passed with flying colors! I made pork carnitas using this recipe I found on Pinterest and they were delicious!
But here's the thing about a crock pot–there's really little-to-no effort involved. All you have to do is get the ingredients together, press the button, and wait.
Who would have thought that after 8 hours on low, something literally called "pork butt" at the Whole Foods meat counter could be transformed into something so delicious?
The key is having the time and patience to wait, trusting that the end result will be worth it. With the exception of finding the recipe, you really can't take credit for the finished product–it's all about the crock pot.
Sometimes, we may find ourselves going through seasons of change and transition–seasons where we're called to be still and wait. Aren't those the worst?!
It can be tempting to get frustrated and impatient, but don't lose heart.
Much like the pork butt that is slowly perfected in the hands of the crock pot (that's right, I'm comparing our lives to pork butt), we need to be still and trust that even in the midst of waiting, God is still at work. And though the waiting can be tough, the transformation that takes place in the midst of it is always worth the wait.

Air Sampling and Monitoring Products
Battery & Solar Powered Air Samplers
CF-1512/24-VBRL: Variable Speed Brushless DC Air Sampler
Due to its low Amp draw, variable speed flow rate control, brushless maintenance free blower and portability, the CF-1512-VBRL is considered to be "The Ideal External Battery Operated Air Sampler".
CF-18V: 12 VDC Variable Speed, Timer OperatedThe CF-18V field unit operates on a single 12 volt automotive battery. The two stage centrifugal fan pump motor is speed controlled by a rheostat which allows an operator to set a desired volumetric flow rate. An In-Line venturi allows for instantaneous flow measurement directly from an individually calibrated Magnehelic®. Continuous or 0-30 minute grab samples can be taken on a variety of "CF-Type" combination or paper only filter holders.
CF-24B: 12/24 VDC Fixed Speed, Cabinet Mounted Air SamplerThe CF-24B, FIXED SPEED, 12/24 VDC external battery operated field unit is ideal for remote site grab sampling. An elapsed, resettable timer is incorporated into the unit housing to track exact sampling duration.
CF-993B: Fixed Speed, Internal Battery & ChargerHI-Q's CF-993B & CF-993B-4 are ideal for remote location air sampling where line power is not available. An internally mounted sealed 12 Volt battery and battery charger eliminate the need for the transportation of cumbersome battery cables and the awkward handling of heavy batteries. The timer has 10 programmable timing functions with a wide time range.
CF-995B: Variable Speed, Internal Battery & Charger, AC/DC RelayHI-Q has incorporated a high efficiency, variable speed circuit in its CF-995B, battery operated air sampler series which allows its users to preset flow rates by varying the blower motor speed. The CF-995B & CF-995B-4 are ideal for adjustable flow, remote location air sampling where AC line power is not available. An internally mounted battery and battery charger eliminate the need for the transportation of cumbersome battery cables and the awkward handling of heavy batteries. A 10-function, panel-mounted programmable timer allows the user to preset a wide range of sample times and cycles.
Solar Power Air Sampling System Design
Since 1973 HI-Q Environmental Products Company's engineering staff has designed and developed hundreds of "Custom, Turn-Key" Air Sampling Systems. Among these custom units are Complete Solar Powered Air Sampling Systems, which require Low Amp Draw, DC driven vacuum pumps. Let HI-Q's experience work for you.
TFIA-4BC: 12/24 VDC Fixed Speed Air SamplerThe TFIA-4BC is identical in configuration to the TFIA accepting the same TFIA options (excluding speed controller) as the AC power version depicted in the Portable HI-Volume Air Sampler section of HI-Q's web site. The TFIA-4BC operates on two automotive batteries in series, or for half the flow rate with one 12 Volt Automotive Battery (Batteries not included).

Love this post — and especially the graphic — from Chasing Delicious. It includes 72 different styles of beer and describes what makes Ales different than Lagers.
The chart breaks down beers by color, hoppy-ness, grainy-ness, and fruity-ness (are those even real words?). It's a pairing list for beer!
Great stuff!

April 23, 2013 16:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 23, 2013) - Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCBB:MVTG)(FRANKFURT:5MV) , is pleased to announce the development of its own internal research lab and team. Mantra's new lab is located on the premises of BC Research Inc. (BCRI), a widely respected technology incubation centre. Mantra also welcomes Jianlu Zhang (Ph.D.), Mantra's new COO, and Patrick Dodd (M.Eng.), the new CTO, who will spearhead the effort.
Research at Mantra's new facility will support the ongoing engineering of Mantra's ERC (electro-reduction of carbon dioxide) pilot plant, which will be operating at the Lafarge cement plant in Richmond. Coordination of these two parallel activities will greatly accelerate the development of the technology. Further research efforts at BCRI will seek to identify processes for new ERC products. Support for these projects will come from the multitude of talented engineers and chemists who call BCRI home.
Leading this R&D will be Jianlu Zhang. Jianlu obtained his Masters degree in Applied Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry, with a focus on electro-catalysis, in Dalian, China. From 2005 to 2010 he worked as a Research Associate, first with the Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (National Research Council of Canada) leading the study of the performance and contamination of high-temperature PEM fuel cells, and then with the US DOE characterizing and diagnosing vanadium redox flow batteries. Jianlu also worked as an Associate Professor and as the head of R&D at Palcan Energy Corp. before joining Mantra. With his eleven years of experience with electrochemistry and expertise with electro-catalysis, he is an invaluable addition to the team.
Partnered with Jianlu at BCRI is Patrick Dodd, a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia's Masters of Engineering in Clean Energy program. Having previously worked at Iceland's Carbon Recycling International and done the baseline design work for the ERC pilot plant, Patrick will bring an intimate knowledge of carbon utilization to BCRI.
About ERC
ERC, or the "electro-reduction of carbon dioxide", is a form of "carbon capture and utilization" (CCU) that converts the pollutant carbon dioxide into useful, valuable products including formic acid and formate salts. By utilizing clean electricity, the process offers the potential for an industrial plant to reduce emissions while generating a salable product and a profit.
About Mantra Energy Alternatives
Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mantra Venture Group Ltd., aims to become a world leader in the production of high-value, carbon-negative chemicals and fuels. Mantra is currently developing the ERC process, which will initially produce formic acid and formate salts from carbon dioxide, and will eventually be capable of generating a wide variety of products. The company seeks to simultaneously reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions, which total over 30 billion tonnes each year from fuel combustion alone, and generate value.
Mantra Venture Group is a public company quoted on the OTC QB under the symbol MVTG and on the Berlin Stock Exchange under the symbol 5MV.

Rize (Armenian: Ռիզե, Ancient Greek: Ριζαίον/Rizaion) is the capital of Rize Province, in northeast Turkey, on the Black Sea coast.
The name Rize comes from Turkish Greek name of the town, Ριζαίον (Rizaion); in modern times, its name in Greek was usually Ριζούντα (Rizounta). Its Latin forms are Rhizus and Rhizaeum (which remains the name of a Catholic titular see in the province of Ottomans
The city is built around a small bay on the Black Sea coast, on a narrow strip of flat land between the sea and the mountains behind. The coastal strip is being expanded with landfill and the city is growing up the steep hillsides away from the coast. Rize enjoys a mild, extremely wet climate, vulnerable to storms coming off the Black Sea and therefore the surrounding countryside is rich with vegetation and is attracting more and more visitors every year.
Rize is a center for processing and shipping the tea grown in the surrounding area. Tea was introduced in the region in the 1940s and 1950s, changing the region's destiny, which was desperately poor until then. The city has a tea research institute founded in 1958 and tea gardens are the main sight in the town's panoramic view. Tea and kiwifruit plants are even planted in gardens around the town. The secondary activity is fishing. Rize is linked by road with Trabzon (41 miles [66 km] west), Hopa (55 miles [88 km] east, on the Georgian border, and Erzurum (north). The nearest airport is in Trabzon.
Rize is a quiet town, a typical Turkish provincial capital with little in the way of night life or entertainment. However the border with Georgia has been open since the early 90's, the Black Sea coast road has been widened and Rize is now wealthier than in previous decades; there are more cars in the streets, higher buildings on the sea front, and some places for young people to go are opening up now. The visitors to the surrounding countryside also contribute to the economy of the town
