Lublin is the largest city in Poland east of the Vistula River and is located 161 km south of Warsaw.
Jewish life in Lublin dates back to at least the 14th century. In 1453 King Kazimierz Jagiellonczyk
granted the Lublin Jews the privilege of free trade, which in turn resulted in dynamic growth of the
Jewish population in Lublin by the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Rabbi Jakub from Trident
settled in Lublin in 1475, indicating that a well-organized kehilla was likely present at the time.
In 1518 constrictions were placed on Jewish trade within Lublin. By 1535 Jews were banned from
living within the walls of the city. This resulted in dynamic growth of the Jewish quarter (Podzamcze).
In 1518 a yeshiva (Talmudical Academy) was established in town and became well known through
Europe. In 1567 the Jewish residents built a brick synagogue on Jateczna Street. A smaller shul
was built nearby as well. In the 16th century a large part of Podzamcze was flooded by the
Czechowka River. The Jewish quarter expanded to the drained marshy lands around the castle.
Jewish houses were also built in the suburb of Kalinowszczyzna, located northeast of the city.
Moshe Montalto, a Sephardic physician who settled in Poland in the 17th century, built a synagogue
in Lublin where the congregants prayed in the Sephardic rite. See also: Sephardic Jews in Poland.

Before diving, we did a buddy check for saftey♪♪ Then we went through lots of skills underwater again! They tried inflating a safety sausage and practiced the important skill of compass navigation ("ω")ノ
After we finished the skills we went exploring♪ Today we saw lots of different fishes☆ I felt proud as I saw how much my divers had improved from yesterday(^ω^) Over the reef, a lionfish was drifting, beautiful but poisonous(-_-メ) It's important to learn about the different kinds of fish too♪
Last dive of open water course at Manta Scramble!
Yesterday, we didn't see a manta so today was last chance. We waited close to the cleaning station and a manta showed up. It was only passing by but we got a good look of it☆
☆Congratulations☆ to our newly certified divers(≧▽≦)
I hope you will get to see lots of different exciting places underwater!

Pew. Pew. So the Duck decided to challenge her ego and join in the throng of writing a 100-words-story-prompt for the first time. Baffling, I know.
I don't know much of the rules, other than the word count 100 (you can go over a little, we won't ostracise you.. or bother to count either), the link, where you'll find much more eloquent people and add your own link to feel like you belong. And…oh yeah, the Duck has oiled up slick to not feel moderately rough grabs at her take on this picture, that's constructive criticisms for you slow ones – you're supposed to specify that toos – Quack.
"You're here." He says.
She looks at him, as if at fault.
Adam takes a moment to swallow a mouthful of spit. He can feel the beginnings of furred and thickened tonsils.
He moves over to her side of the booth and – swallow – they make love against the window; shudder, the sun blinds him upon rolling waves, her face…what was…
Adam looks around him, his pants throbbing and moist. A waiter comes and asks if he'd like the early special.
"6am early bird."
He looks at the outline of breathe on the window, it is real. Then, gone.

A Seafood Smorgasbord!!!
Is what Elissia and I DEVOURED last night at dinner, as well as the final meal to my first WIAW!
We made a last-minute decision to try Douro, a Portuguese-inspired Mediterranean restaurant
Douro was fabulous! The perfect location for a girls' tete-a-tete after way too long apart!
We sat at the bar and each started a with crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
We finally took a hot second to catch our breath and peruse the menu. Elissia and I share a weakness for Mediterranean food and everything sounded good!
We ended up splitting a bunch of generously portioned appetizers.
The mood lighting at Douro was rather dark and sultry, but the seafood plates took to it swimmingly! (went there)
In addition, we ordered a plate of deliciously seasoned mushrooms and a spinach salad with dried cranberries and a honey-balsamic vinaigrette.
This was a meal where I could FEEL the energy and nourishment that the fresh ingredients were providing as I ate them (a lil' friend TLC never hurts either :)). Between the two of us, there was not a speck of food left in sight.
My time with Elissia was wonderful as always–girl gives the best advice! Within five minutes of parting ways, we'd settled on a date for our next get-together.
I was still full when I got home, but I had an itch somethin' MIGHTY for dessert!
Crying and cooing all the while, I took down the last of my 1-2-3 Cake
I stayed up for a bit for some blog luv and ended up munching on unsulphured dried apricots and a PB & J Bar, both of which tasted incredible to my palate. Finally hit the hay with a full, happy belly :).
Today and tonight flew by, but there were a few highlights!
And best best BEST of all, I had a gym date tonight with my amazing friend Frances! Time with Frankie always leaves me with a smile, feeling so lucky to have her in my life.
I recently spotted this total body workout on fitsugar.com, and we gave 'er a whirl tonight!
This workout was BOMB.We both really enjoyed the strength/cardio mixture, and we were sweaty messes by the end! We started with a 5 minute treadmill warm-up, and then completed the entire series 2x. We used 7.5 lb weights and switched out the dips for other tricep exercises. Stayed true to text other than that!
We got about halfway through a third round when, as Frances so aptly put it, "we were rudely interrupted by a frat boy who thought he was a gladiator". Some dude nearby had started swinging what appeared to be a medieval torture device?!
Sensing imminent danger, we decided we were more than happy to call it quits. I think the Fab 15 might be my new favorite circuit workout though!
Looking back on this post, I'm not sure where the medieval theme came from…but I dig it.
I'm off to whip up an awesome quick recipe that I'll be sharing with you guys tomorrow :). See you anon!

With all of the benefits of hot tubs and portable spas it is hard not to recognize the true feeling of luxury that comes with owning one. With all of the plug and play models available on the market you'll spend less time prepping and more time relaxing in your new hot tub. This includes in your home, outside your home, away from your home and basically anywhere you have a stable surface and an outlet. So what are some of the ways and places you can get the most out of your hot tub?
Placing your hot tub in your home is a great way to make it the centerpiece of an otherwise bland basement. Putting it in the basement with a big screen TV, pool table, and a bar with alcohol turns your bland basement into the best relaxation spot on the block. This is not only a man cave and game room styling, but a purchase that can make family gatherings a lot more functional with a lot of people in your home. Having the hot tub inside also keeps you from inclement weather that can occur several times a year. While there is a snowstorm or heavy rainfall outside, you'll be inside enjoying the hot water of your very own hot tub. Besides being protected from the elements, there is also less time for it to get heated up since it will be at room temperature.
Do you have a lot of parties and invite people over often? If the party tends to take place outside, then adding a hot tub will do a world of wonders for some of your guests. This is effective for customers that BBQ a lot, and gives your guests something to do other than playing games or watching TV. It also works as a way to relax when they are finished eating that great meal you just prepared. Don't be surprised if it gets full fast as the guests realize just how comfortable it really is. Since there is no real way to know just how many people will end up in the hot tub, opting to purchase one that fits 6-7 would be your best bet in maximizing the space. It's a perfect way to have the guests unwind after a long and fun party as well.
Going on a road trip? The best way to get the best out of that trip is by bringing a portable spa with you. With the number of inflatable spas available to buy, there are plenty to choose from that has all of the features you may need. And since many of the inflatable spas can be shrunken down and carried in a bag, you basically have the power to carry a 4 person spa on your back and set it up wherever there is an outlet.
The majority of them run on a 120v outlet which means that you can plug it up to your RV whenever you stop and have the time of your life. Just because they are portable it does not mean that they will get rips and tears, so feel free to take full advantage of this feature and treat it like a normal spa. It only takes a couple of minutes to go from full deflated to fully inflated, and at that point you can start adding in the water you need in order to heat it up and get things going. As a tip, when using it like this try pouring in water that isn't cold to shorten the amount of time it takes to heat up to the temperature you set.
Health Benefits of Hot Tub
Soaking in hot water has various health benefits that will improve your life. But focusing strictly on hot tubs as a way to relax and unwind, it promotes a great mental state that will stay with you on the way to bed, and also when you wake up in the morning. So imagine the outcome if you did this 4-7 days a week? It promotes an improved lifestyle, and all for the fraction of the cost that you would spend on other products that don't have the benefits. In truth relaxing in a hot tub is one of the easiest thing you can do to improve your daily lifestyle for the better. And since it can be a group activity, you can still unwind while being social and sharing your fun with everyone else.
Things to Know
Setting the water at 104f, the max temperature, is the best way to enjoy all of the relaxing benefits of a hot tub and spa. The highest temperature usually results in the maximum enjoyment, so make sure to always have it ready to go at that level. Inflatable hot tubs also have the added benefit of cushion, something that the portable and non-portable versions don't have. But the portable and non-portable versions have actual jets with better massage, so the decision on which one is more relaxing for you will come down to personal preference on the included materials and features. Using the cover that comes with your system is the best way to keep the water at 104f, as well as an easy way to accelerate the temperature to that level. Better heaters will give more efficient performance, so always take care of your heaters so that you're waiting around less to use the hot tub.
There is no better way to relax and unwind than with a portable spa or hot tub, and if the above samples don't get you primed and ready for a dip then little else will. If you're trying to relax at home or away you can enjoy the same benefits with no change at all from the normal setup procedures, allowing you to make a vacation away from home whenever you feel like it. So go out and purchase the perfect hot tub and spa for yourself and get to unwinding and relaxing in an environment of your own.

when virus attack our computer it disable the "Show hidden files and folders" option than even if we select the option Show hidden files and folders from the folder option window, the changes just disappear upon closing the dialog. It is because virus has attacked your registry file. So here is the solution to the problem:-
Go to Run than type regedit and click Ok.
Find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion
Look at the "CheckedValue" key. This should be a DWORD key. Check its value If the value is not 1 then make it 1.
If "CheckedValue" key is not there then Create a new key called "CheckedValue" as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.
Now open My Computer, on the toolbar go to Tools > Folder Option and click on the View tab.
The "Show hidden files & folders" will work properly!!!
Nice share. I've problems with this, recently.
When I right click on a file, that is hidden at the time. It give me the properties window, but with the hidden check box active and disabled.
Is there a way to enable it, or to just de-select it?
Is it a virus, and how can I get it off?
not sure :-)

Guy Busted Stealin Wi-Fi
In a public library, a dude sitting at a monitor with his hands in his lap, covered by a newspaper, implicitly means bad things. Fear not, he's only sneaked in an Xbox to steal the free WiFi and play Halo.
The tumbelog teendrama picked this up - the writer's pal spied the multiplayer shenanigans in the New York Public Library. The guy above brought in a monitor, Xbox, wireless router, what looks like a Turtle Beach Ear Force gaming headset (I have one), and an external hard drive. His controller is concealed by yesterday's New York Post.
"He proceeded to play Quake/Halo/Call of Duty," says the photographer, "some nerd fighter game while yelling out instructions to his 'teammates.'"
Small wonder then, that it "took him 20 minutes to set it all up. Took him 2 minutes to get kicked out."

i.e. Why doesn't Entity Framework find my connection string?
Remember that if you subclass from a
DbContext, the default constructor
takes the name of the class as the connection string name.
Your normal
WidgetContext is working just fine: it finds a connection string
WidgetContext in the
web.config and loads it right on up.
But then you start adding some instrumentation, and you decide to create a
TracingWidgetContext that inherits from
WidgetContext. Suddenly
it starts trying to create a new database on your local SQLServer instance.
What just happened, I don't even…
The default, parameter-less
DbContext constructor takes the class name as the
expected connection string name. In this case, the subclass looked for a
TracingWidgetContext connection string, and not finding one, it just connects

There are over four million Victorian and Edwardian houses in the UK and many are crying out for some serious care and repair work. Here we identify the common pitfalls.
Buildings of Victorian and Edwardian age account for a high number of the 'essential repairs' listed in mortgage valuations and survey reports. One cause of problems arising today can be traced back to the Victorian builders who were not always averse to taking shortcuts and skimping on materials, with the result that 'inherent defects' developed in later life. Experienced surveyors will know how to identify common problems like damp, timber decay, and structural movement. But they will also know when not to worry, when apparent defects are not significant.
To make matters worse, large numbers of homes of this era have suffered from a long-term lack of maintenance. Worse, many old buildings have been subjected to inappropriate repair work, leading to a loss of valuable original features. In some cases well intentioned repairs have had the effect of exacerbating the problems that they set out to solve. Works such as re-pointing and rendering in modern cement-based materials, the use of plastic paints and the retrospective application of unnecessary damp-proof treatments can all be detrimental to the health of such buildings, in time leading to accelerated decay and irreparable damage.
RICS members have a pivotal role to play in both these areas to ensure that the future of our important stock of traditional buildings does not continue to be carelessly endangered. To find a local, trusted chartered surveyor in your area who can help, use our free Find a Surveyor service.

A Home Education UK 'briefing paper' on the Welsh proposals
Those opposing the Welsh proposals have been producing a series of so-called 'briefing papers'. Essentially, these are no more than the opinions of various home educators who do not approve of registration and monitoring and hope to persuade others to share their views. There are two types of such papers. One kind is directed at professionals working in the field of education and is intended to show that home educated children are not at increased risk of abuse and actually do better academically than children in school. The other sort hope to work up support from other groups such as Christians, by playing to their prejudices. Today, I want to look at a typical example of the first type; that designed to deceive teachers, social workers and other professionals.
This example is taken from the Home Education UK website:
I have no idea of the author; perhaps it was Mike Fortune-Wood himself. The paper begins by suggesting that Welsh schools are not in general brilliant, which is true. Then it looks at American research which it is claimed shows that home educated children do very well; better in fact than those at school. There is much wrong with this section, but since I do not think that the American scene can really be compared with this country, we shall let that pass. It is when the author writes of British evidence that he reveals his true motives. and these are not precisely open and honest. I do not have time to go into the whole thing, but a few particularly awful instances should suffice. Here is a quotation from the thing:
Although little research is available in the UK there is no reason to believe that the
results for children here would be any different and research that has been
undertaken supports that view. A 2002 study of 419 EHE families in the UK found:
'The results show that 64% of the home‐educated Reception aged children scored over 75% on their PIPS Baseline Assessments as opposed to 5.1% of children nationally.
Either the author has not read the actual research or is deliberately setting out to mislead. In fact the PIPS Assessments relate not to 419 families but 35. What do readers think? Has the author of this supposedly careful and pseudo-academic paper read the research which he is quoting? If not, it casts doubt upon the value of the other figures which he adduces in defence of his argument. If he has read the research, then he is trying to pull the wool over people's eyes and hope that they will not spot the inflation of the figures relating to the PIPS Assessments. Neither case exactly encourages confidence!
The indications are that this was a deliberately misleading. I say this, because a few lines later, we find this claim:
A Wiltshire based home education support group has kept records of children in the group since 2002. They found that the 52 older children involved had achieved 199 formal qualifications in 50 subjects with 69% of those qualifications being GCSE or IGCSE, 13% were A levels and others in Tertiary or performance. 50% of those qualifications were taken under the age of 16 years. 33% of those students achieving performing arts qualifications were awarded distinctions and 96% of other grades
were at A* ‐C.
I think that readers here will agree that the intention is to suggest that a longitudinal study has been made of a cohort from one home education group? Note that 'records' have been kept of 'children in the group'. Let us be plain about this. We are being asked to believe that the figures for examination results are all from one group of children; those who attended a home educating support group in Wiltshire. This simply cannot be a mistake; it must be a calculated falsehood, because the author gives the source for his claim. Here it is;
Presumably, he banked on nobody bothering to check the references. This is an open page, where anybody from the United Kingdom may send any exam result which they claim a home educated child has achieved. Nobody checks, the things are all done anonymously and then added to the total. Far from this showing that 52 members of a single home educating support group did brilliantly academically, it merely suggests that a load of random people emailed this site from anywhere in the world and their claims were placed there without any sort of checking. Of course this group of 52 children had good academic results; only those who had gained qualifications were intended to be included on it!
There is far more wrong with this paper than just these two examples. The whole thing is an absolute horror. I am curious, for instance, about the 10 young people with 49 A levels between them. Eton only manage an average of four A levels per pupil; according to this a home educating group in Wales is averaging around five a head. More research needed here!

Whilst I am reluctant to agree with you I do find that often the documents I have seen produced by the home education community to be full of misleading 'evidence', fallacies and inaccuracies. If they want others to take their evidence seriously they need to present information truthfully, and allow data gathering and research.ReplyDelete
I can see what you're saying, Simon, and, in the interest of balance, and since you've drifted back to Wales, what do you think of the way that Welsh official attitudes to HE were described by that 'scoping' document.ReplyDelete
Also, the suggestion of a 'reimagining' of HE as another provider of education seemed to me to be so much up your street that I was amazed when you resisted commenting on it.

"I have no idea of the author; perhaps it was Mike Fortune-Wood himself."ReplyDelete
No, Mike didn't write them, he has put them there at the request of the author according to an email on his list. Part of the reason was to allow people to criticise them and point out any errors, so it would probably be better if any errors were pointed out on his list so that they actually reach the author and can be corrected.

I know nothing of this. I found them on the HE-UK site, here:
It suggests here that people use them to respond to the Welsh consultation. Perhaps it would have been better to check them before encouraging people to use them? I assure readers that I am not alone in picking up on the problems with these briefing papers. Anybody using these things will find themelves being torn to shreds and ridiculed!
'Also, the suggestion of a 'reimagining' of HE as another provider of education seemed to me to be so much up your street that I was amazed when you resisted commenting on it.'ReplyDelete
Yes, I shall have something to say about this in the future. I might mention that I explored this 're-imagining' in Chapter 9 of my book, Elective Home education in the UK, Trentham Books 2010. The enthusiasm among home educators for such a re-imagining was somewhat muted...Replies
But it wasn't the home educators who were being asked to re-imagine it, Simon!Delete
Here's the part of the report that caused me to splutter into my coffee when I read it (and I am part Welsh and had been wondering about moving back to where some of my family are, so I wasn't just being nosy.)
"The suggestion to come out of these interviews is to ask how an effective partnership between Local Authorities and the Home Educating community could be developed practically in order to address jointly some of the issues they have in common. It is suggested that HE be re-imagined as an integral part of alternative education provision, affording both greater transparency of their own practice and offering particular skills and experience to others both within and outside of mainstream provision, as well as to those in the process of withdrawing either temporarily or permanently."
Whether home educators wanted to be drawn into a LA's provision like this didn't seem to be a factor, so I was left wondering if they were about to be nationalised... It seems a bit unfair, given how many of us either left or didn't get involved with the educational system precisely because we didn't like what it was offering.
And here's the other bit I was hoping you'd comment on -
"Developing an agreed and clarified best practice therefore is a matter of urgency. The clear evidence so far of this early exercise is that mutually supportive and respectful partnership with appropriate representatives of the HE community at a local level is effective, both so the distinctive skills and expertise within the community can contribute to the social, emotional and educational needs of all the children in the area and that otherwise, the threat and suspicion between the LA and HE will continue to contribute to a vicious cycle of increasing regulation and corresponding invisibility."
I thought the use of the word 'threat' and the phrase 'increasing regulation and corresponding invisibility' were particularly interesting because it implied a causual relationship, with the regulation causing the invisibility.
(Incidentally, let us hope they are not planning to allow home educated children to become invisible. Mine can find quite enough mischief while I can see them. I don't want to think about the uses they'd find for invisibility...)
'Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful if there was no slyness involved in any writing about HE? If only people would stick to the facts and not try to spin them at all. 'ReplyDelete
Ah, 'spin' is the word, is it? Thank you, Old Mum. I am, as usual, vastly obliged to you for your assistance. When somebody makes up a lot of nonsense which could not by any stretch of the imagination have been a consequence of honest misunderstanding, I am in the habit of using quite another word for the process, but I dare say that 'spin' will serve well enough. Mind, my private view is that this a damned charitable way of decribing the case, but perhaps we may agree to differ on that point?Replies
- Old Mum10 October 2012 at 12:54
I used the word 'slyness' as well as 'spin'. Did you not notice that?Delete
There's a lot of it going around.
'Here's the part of the report that caused me to splutter into my coffee when I read it (and I am part Welsh and had been wondering about moving back to where some of my family are, so I wasn't just being nosy.)'ReplyDelete
Just by the by, Anne. before I posted about the Welsh business, early on teh mroning of August 5th, I hadn't seen any mention of it anywhere else! I don't say that nobody would have noticed what was going on, but there was certainly nothing on any of the forums or lists before that day. As soon as I mentioned it here, there was a rush of people talking about it!
I knew before that, but then I have Welsh HE friends. That's the internet for you though, isn't it? The world gets smaller and smaller.ReplyDelete

As the person who has compiled the data on the UK exam results website, I'd just like to correct a couple points.ReplyDelete
The results are anonymous but the people who supply them are not - all the parents who submit the data do so with names and email addresses. They also supply their postcode, an identifier for the young person and a date of birth. This data is kept (mainly for the purposes of making sure that we do not double count) but is not published - all data is aggregated, at the moment across the whole of the UK.
That being the case, the data is not from anywhere in the world - it is specifically UK data.
However, I agree with Simon that it is a self-selecting sample. The stated purpose of the website is to allay fears that home education necessarily leads to poor academic outcomes. No claims are made about it being representative of all home educators. The data is not checked - people could be lying about their children's results - I do not ask to see the certificates.

Mike Dubaniewicz, Chip McNeill, Denis DiBlasio (saxophones)
Steve Wiest (trombone)
Jeff Lashway (piano), Brian Mulholland (bass), Stockton Helbing (drums)
Special Guest: Christian Jacob (piano)
Recorded at Bennett Studios in Englewood, NJ, following a sold out engagement in New York City at the famed Blue Note Jazz Club, this album includes Ferguson's last recordings along with marquis alumni from decades of jazz music they shared together.
Ferguson, affectionately known as "The Boss,"worked with hundreds of musicians worldwide throughout his more than six decades in the business. He often enlisted the musical and composition talents of notable and famous alumni including Wayne Bergeron, Denis DiBlasio, Chip McNeill, and Steve Wiest as well as many of his Big Bop Nouveau Band members.
These talented individuals are just a handful of featured musicians on The One and Only Maynard Ferguson CD. This recording contains nine tracks — five are new takes on old favorites including "The Days of Wine and Roses" and "Besame Mucho," where fans will enjoy a dueling trumpet duet between Ferguson and Wayne Bergeron. Other tunes include three original compositions by Denis DiBlasio, and an all new composition by pianist and Ferguson's son-in-law, Christian Jacob titled "Lost Horizons" featuring the beautiful flugelhorn played by Ferguson.
Ferguson passed away just three weeks after The One and Only Maynard Ferguson was recorded, at the age 78. What was intended to be just one of many albums recorded, this particular one has evolved into Ferguson's legacy piece. The One and Only Maynard Ferguson is sure to secure Ferguson's deserved standing as a legend in the history of American Jazz.

What Are The Tips To Buy Cheap And High Quality Phentermine?
Right from the advent of Adipex (Phentermine) into the market, the diet pill has been gaining enough prominence and the price too has been spiraling upwards. People battling obesity for many years feel that they have found the exact remedy in Phentermine and the medication when taken in the prescribed dosage as per the doctor's advice has given the best results. For patients who had struggled to reduce weight through exercising or for few who found it very hard even to sweat out daily, the pill brought about the change they were longing for.
Shedding weight for obese people was never a painful phase with the introduction of this weight loss drug. The intake of the medication-assisted people in cutting the excess flab and maintain control over the appetite levels in the body. By controlling the appetite levels the quantity of food too can be easily kept in check and so is the upkeep of health. A detailed study compiled by experts show the cost of the pill to have escalated many times after it was introduced to the overall public. But, it is still possible to save a good amount of money while buying Phentermine online. The medication can be bought at stunning discounts.
To zero in on the best deal, you would require some suggestions and tactics. The following elucidates the various options available to grab the right deal and benefit out of it:
Cheap Retail Stores
Many of the physical stores selling phentermine medication offer exciting rebates for purchasing products from them. The drugstores of such kind sell Phentermine at low rates which enable you to save a good sum on money that would have simply gone as medication expenses. Quite a few pharmacies offer a reasonable 10% rebate on the purchases. You have to definitely take the extra effort to shop around the city to get the great deal possible. It is also recommended to visit the wholesale shops to buy diet pill at a much lower rate. One of the preconditions to avail the discounts or lower rates is that the medication needs to be bought at a higher quantity.
Low cost Online Pharmaceuticals
If you are seriously looking to buy Phentermine medication, spare a thought on the online drugstores that offer a high rebate for the pills sold by them. The rate is comparatively much less in the online portals. The other important advantage offered by the online pharmacies is that you can get the drug for treating obesity from any place, regardless of your location.
To cut down the expenses incurred in buying the pill, place orders for the medication either from India or Canada which has the best chances of availing the drug with rebate of up to 30%. To have a better understanding of the discounts provided by online pharmacies, it is necessary to subscribe to the newsletters which are published periodically by the Canadian pharmacies operating online.

Windermere Real Estate/BI, Inc.
Just off the island in downtown Poulsbo is a great little place that can make your life easier. The What's For Dinner Kitchen is a meal preparation kitchen thats "mission is to strengthen families by enabling them to enjoy dinner together without the stress." The owner was a former caterer and the quality of the menu selections prove that.
At What's For Dinner, you have the option to schedule a time and prepare up to twelve meals yourself, or now, even better, I think, you can order online and they will prepare and package the meals for you and you can just swing in and pick them up. And, there is no extra charge for the preparation!
A meal for four runs about $20, depending on how many you buy at once, and my calculations show that once you factor in the time it takes to find a recipe to prepare, shop for it and then put it together, $20 is a great value. One of the best things about their meals are the sauces, they are so full of flavor and so obviously not from a jar. A nice change. So, even meals like enchiladas or lasgana, are not ordinary – they are restaraunt quality. Some of my favorites are their chicken pot pie, enchiladas verde, mahi mahi, and meatloaf.
So, about once a month, I buy about four to six meals and find it is a great substitution for going out to dinner. Now, if they'd just open one on Bainbridge Island, I would be really happy!
What's For Dinner Kitchen is now closed :( 6/2015. I still want them to open one on Bainbridge!

When I bring my car in for the latest recall notice and to have the rear camber issue taking care of, I'm also going to see if they are willing to replace all of the lug nuts under warranty. They're rusting! Surely that's a safety issue in the long run.
No problems repaired under warranty on my 2015 ES 5 speed. But it's only been driven 13K miles in 2 years. Occasionally, the button on the driver's door doesn't unlock it, but otherwise, it's been dead reliable.

"By the Fig and the Olive." (Qur'an, 95:1)
"Eat the fig as it cures various intestinal diseases".
The healing properties of the fig itself, as well as the resemblance of the tree leaves to human hands is a miraculous creation and reminder of the beauty Allah subhanahu wa ta`la has bestowed upon us all, ma-sha-Allah!
Since figs are a wonderful source of fiber they nourish and tone the intestines; its potassium helps control blood pressure.
The fig has been popular since ancient times because of their ability to increase stamina, and in more recent times because of their aid as a laxative and weight loss staple.
Figs And Your Health
It is said that figs can benefit and alleviate ailments of the liver, digestive tract and urinary tract, which is one of the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad.
Figs can help improve heartburn, cancer, paralysis, and can even curb nicotine cravings of those trying to quit smoking.
Fig leaves are also said to have antidiabetic properties and can potentially reduce the amount of insulin needed by those who have daily insulin injections

Matrix Vulpine Team launch, at Popup Bikes in Manchester. Friday 14th March 2014.
Last Friday we left the office early and jumped on one of those funny tilting trains from London, to Manchester for the Matrix Vulpine team Launch.
It was great evening meeting and chatting to the team, spinning out the legs on the Rollapaluza and afterwards a couple of shandys.

Sigh, call me backward, but I think Son of Citation Machine is going to chip away again at what it means to do good, honest research, part of which is knowing how to do your citations. Already with Scholar Google making it so much easier to get information from articles and journals without even really having to read anything, information is going to be a pretty darn cheap commodity.
It's hard to make such a complaint too, because I am part of a time where technology has made it exponentially easier compared to older generation academics to get an academic research paper done.
I really wonder what it was like when budding MA and PhD students had to embark on a mecca just to find some elusive book or article (sometimes even overseas!) and spend hours in the library getting the information and sources they needed, and then writing their entire thesis on pen and paper (or typewriter?). There would be unforgettable stories of how an unattainable book was acquired through some unlikely source, or by other means of cunning. Now, that's memorable. I think the process of getting there is just as important as the end-product itself.
It's a new information age where it's rather easy to do/achieve anything information-related. You can be relatively knowledgeable just staying on Wikipedia for hours. You can now own a blog without generating any of its content, through Tumblr. You can convince yourself that you're connected to good solid news by keeping away from the newspapers and reading twitter all day. In such times, information is vast indeed, but very, very cheap.
One wonders if this will undermine the respect that knowledge entails.

21 day meditation, shedding the weight
shedding the weight, 21 days, mind body, spirit
Shedding the weight. weight is more than what we carry around as a physical person, it is also everything ephemeral we hold inside, memories, fears, and how they all manifest with in us. I began this 21 meditation offer by Oprah and Deepak a few months ago. I have never done "meditation" before. I think physical exercise could be a form of meditation. but that is a whole other story.
Day one of the meditation it occurred to me as the day went on that i would like to have something to be a reminder of the mantra and that would bring back the "healing thought for the day" and it occurred to me, stopping for a cup of tea, coffee, water, or what ever you desire is like a mini meditation. I started making cups each day, I wanted it to be an intimate cup, the kind you hold in your hand, with bumps and dips for my fingers to find, i wanted the mantra to be there, but not emblazon on the exterior like a neon light flashing, so i put it on the inside, right about where the first sip would reveal it.
(of course the first time through the 21 days, the cups were in the process of creation)
If you wonder why i do the 21 days over and over, its because i believe we are only capable to absorb, learn and change what we are ready for. Like reading the same poem, or book and writing down what we got from it, then doing it again in a year and finding i see things in it i never saw before.
Welcome to my 21 day project, and thank you Oprah and Deepak for offering the opportunity for free..

Question about Computers & Internet
I have an external Freecom DVD-/+RW DVD Writer. It reads normal film dvds ok and cds with saved data on. but it will not read a blank dvd when i put on in to back up some files. it sees the disc as no free space and none used. its the same on other discs i have used and i have used both and - blank dvd's. i have also tried it on another computer and the same. it also will not read blank cd's.
Posted by mark3ahomer3 on
Hi, My dvd rewriter (internal) suddenly doesn't recognise the blank discs that I have been using. My program asks me to insert a blank disc and when I do so nothing happens, usually it will say.. blank disc in drive, but nothing.
I have tried using different brands of discs just in case the discs I got were suddenly not compatable but the same thing happens.
The blanks do not read in the drive that came with my pc either (dvd rom) but when I put a film in, it will recognise that a film is there.My rewriter tho will not recogise anything. Can anyone throw any light on this? Can it be fixed or has my rewriter had it? Please respond, xxHelenxx
If you have nothing on the cd then it won't read it cause there is nothing for it to read... so if you have a writing software that you can write the cd you can write the cd... only if there is something on the cd it will read......

Jack McMurphy closed his eyes and slipped away before breakfast on Sunday, November 12, 2017 at the Riverside Nursing Home in Turtleford, Saskatchewan, six weeks before his 98th birthday.
Missing his presence are his children, Evelyn (Alan) Whitfield, Maxine Tetz (Gerald Relitz), Margaret (Allan) Chisholm, Stewart (Trudy) McMurphy, Shelley McMurphy, David (Shelley) Nichol and Laurie Baskin, his nineteen grandchildren, thirty great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren who always made him smile. Little brother David (Thelma) McMurphy, sisters-in-law, Pauline McMurphy, Alma Cockburn, Jenny Nichol, Pearl Schick and his first wife Evelyn Curtis Russell miss him dearly.
He has now joined his parents, stepmother, older sisters Olive and Annie, little sisters Grace, Ada James and Elva Reichel Dopson, brothers, Ron McMurphy Sr and two in infancy, his second wife Bernice Stewart, a daughter in infancy, third wife Betty Mowery Nichol, Betty's son George Nichol and his wife Kathy Stepanik Nichol, great grandson Zach Starling, nephew Ron McMurphy Jr, niece Anna Ruth James, grandniece Kimberly Conacher, brothers-in-law Howard James, Frank Dopson, Jim Cockburn, Lyle Stewart, Jim Mowery, Stan Nichol and sister-in-law Marion Stewart.
The Funeral Service will be conducted from the Turtleford Community Hall, Turtleford, Saskatchewan on Friday, November 17, 2017 at 2:00 PM (CST).
Jack's funeral card can be viewed or downloaded from the link below.
Jack was born 24 December 1919 at the homestead near Turtleford. He was the fourth child and first to live beyond infancy of Dugald and Olive Journeay McMurphy. One year and six days later his little sister Ada was born. Jack and Ada's mother Olive passed away 14 May 1921 from a brain aneurism, she was thirty-two. In 1953, Ada passed away from the same condition, she was thirty-two.
Dugald married Christina Hartwick in 1923. Ronald, Elva, baby boy who passed at birth, Grace, who died at three months from diphtheria and little brother David completed his siblings. Christina passed away in 1945 while Jack was overseas.
Jack decided to quit school at fourteen to seek his fortune. He helped his Dad farming and was in demand to work on threshing crews. Doug was also a funeral director and Jack helped with funerals until Doug sold out to Ripley and McCaw in 1948. In the fall of 1941, he joined the army, six months were spent training in Canada before shipping out for England. In England while on leave he met Evelyn Curtis, a nurse, they married in April of 1944. Not long after the marriage Jack landed in Normandy. Jack drove trucks with petrol, rations, ammo and the mail as well as driving Bren gun carriers. With the 7th Medium Regiment he made his way across France, Belgium, Holland and finally Germany. In May of 1945, he was granted leave, went to London and met his three-month-old daughter Evelyn for the first time. The German Army capitulated while he was on leave, he had a hard time believing it, not until the normally staid British people started singing and dancing in the streets. They joined the crowd and were swept along to Buckingham Palace where the King, Queen and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were on the balcony waving to the crowds. Ever irrepressible Jack yelled up to Princess Elizabeth, "How about a date?"
Evelyn and Jack made the decision to divorce as Evelyn at twenty-two could not leave her family behind. Jack went back to Canada to farm. He started out with a shack, four horses, two cows, some machinery and a cat who was a good mouser in 1946 on the farm where he lived until last year. He married Bernice Stewart in 1949. Along came Maxine, Margaret and Stewart. Bernice lost her battle with cancer in 1968.
Jack met & marries Betty Mowery Nichol and they had a daughter Shelley. Betty brought three children with her from an earlier marriage, George, David and Laurie. Betty lost her battle with cancer in 1999.
To supplement his farming income, he worked as a clerk for auctioneer Stan Scott and others, shipped livestock for the Pool, loading them onto rail cars, helped to deliver coal around Turtleford by unloading rail cars, threshing, milking twelve cows by hand to sell to the Mervin Creamery, custom hauling cattle to the North Battleford Stockyards with a one-ton GMC and caretaking of the skating and curling rinks with Ed Chambers. He bartended in the winter at the Turtleford Hotel and later the Blackthorn Inn. When he was semi retired he took on guard duty with the RCMP in Turtleford.
At the same time Jack was also on numerous boards and belonged to several organizations. The Co-op Board for over thirty years, Credit Union, Agricultural Society, TADRA, Councillor of the RM of Mervin, Library Board, Rural Telephone Board, Wheat Pool, secretary/treasurer for the curling rink for fifteen years and The Royal Canadian Legion Mervin, Turtleford and Livelong Branches where he served in many offices and was awarded a life membership.
He delivered Meals-on-Wheels to as he liked to say, "the old people". As the years went by he was older then some of the people he delivered to. He was retired against his will after his second heart attack.
Jack led a busy and rewarding life. In 2001, at the age of 81, he took his first trip to Vancouver and Victoria to his niece's wedding. It was the first time he saw Pacific Ocean. That trip kindled his travel bug. Next on the agenda was Churchill, Manitoba, the tour of the grain terminal was his second as he toured the Thunder Bay terminal with his cousin who worked there in 1942, when he was on leave. He went to England more than once to visit with his daughter Evelyn, the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Several family members went with him to Nova Scotia, to tour and to visit where his mother Olive was born and lived until she came west to marry his dad. In his eighties he took a sail on the Bluenose, was an extra in a mini series on Tommy Douglas whom he met and admired in the 50's. He and his team took first place in Legion Provincial Bowling.
In his 90's came the big tour of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. He saw Vimy Ridge, Beaumont Hamel, Passchendaele, Dieppe and went back to Juno Beach, Caen, Arnhem, Nijmegen. He visited the grave of Sgt Bacon, the best damn sergeant of the Canadian Army at Beny-Sur-Mer. Jack rode in the back of restored Canadian Army trucks waving to crowds of 100,000 in Wageningen and Apeldoorn. That was the end of the big journeys. There were trips to Water Valley outside Calgary, Medicine Hat, Stettler where the train he was on was robbed by masked bandits, followed by turkey supper and pie. He rode a horse in Jasper National Park, visited Manitou, went several times to Taste of Saskatchewan and of course every Fall Supper around.
He never lost his sense of humour, his kindness, his appreciation of life and his mischief making.
Farewell Dad, Grandpa Jack, G-Pops, thank you for all the memories.
Donations in memory of Jack may be made to the Turtleford Residents Fund or Livelong Legion Poppy Fund.

When schools reopen after the summer vacation on July 1, students at only seven of the 107 government schools in Chandigarh will get the summer uniform which the administration supplies free of cost. Other students will have to arrange their own uniform, because the schools are still looking for suppliers.
Officials said that only seven schools have procured the stock of uniform, got it tested in the lab, and claimed their bills from the Education Department. These are Government Model Senior Secondary Schools in Sectors 16, 56, 52, and Government Model School in Burail, Vikas Nagar, Indira Colony and Dhanas.
As for the other schools, even if they find a supplier immediately, the procedure is such that the stocks would reach the schools after 60 days, they said.
However, DPI(S) Kamlesh Kumar claimed that all schools would be able to distribute the uniform by mid-July. "As per my knowledge, 75 per cent schools have already placed the orders,'' he said.
It was on April 24 that the Education Department had issued a notice, asking school management committees to float tenders for procurement of the uniform for students of classes I to VIII. Since then, the majority of the schools have floated the tenders twice and in some cases even three or four times, but there have been no bidders.
Sunita Singh, principal of the Government Model Senior Secondary School in Sector 27, said, "We have floated the tender for the fourth time today and, hopefully, we will get a supplier this time. The cost of the uniform is too low to attract contractors. Besides, we have a small strength of the students while these contractors take up only bulk work.''
Other principals echoed these views.
Under the administration's instructions, the schools have to purchase the uniform at a rate of Rs 300 each for classes I to V and at the rate of Rs 375 each for higher classes.
The summer uniform consists of a shirt and trousers for boys, and a shirt and skirt, or salwar-kameez for girls.
This is not the first time uniform distribution is going to be delayed. Last year, the distribution of the summer uniform continued till November while the winter uniform was given at the fag end of the winter.

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com
- Arab League brands Lebanon's Hezbollah a terrorist organization
- U.S. blames Iran for cyber attack on a New York dam
Arab League brands Lebanon's Hezbollah a terrorist organization
Arab League meeting on January 10 (AP)
Sectarian tensions in the Mideast took another surge on Friday, when the Arab League in Cairo declared Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization. As we recently reported, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) made the same declaration last week. The GCC is an organization of Arab nations (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)) on the Arabian Gulf. Friday's decision extends the designation to the Arab League, with 22 members, reaching as far as Morocco and Algeria in northwest Africa.
The Arab League decision was not unanimous, according to a statement issued after the meeting, which said that Lebanon and Iraq had "expressed reservations."
The objections were much stronger than mere reservations. Lebanon, of course, Sunni and Shia power centers, the latter represented by Hezbollah, with large militias well-funded by Iran. And Iraq's government is also well-funded by Iran, and is heavily engaged in a war with the country's Sunni majority, including the so-called Islamic State (IS or ISIS or ISIL or Daesh).
In fact, the Saudi delegation stormed out of the Arab League meeting when Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari praised Hezbollah, along with the Iraqi Popular Mobilization forces (PMF):
PMF and Hezbollah preserved the dignity of the Arabs and whoever accuses them of terrorism they are themselves terrorists.
Syria would undoubtedly have also opposed the Arab League declaration, but Syria was expelled from the League in November 2011.
It had been reported several days ago that Morocco and Algeria did not support the GCC decision, but there was no indication that they opposed Friday's Arab League decisions.
The GCC and Arab League declarations firmly polarize the entire Mideast along sectarian lives. For years, the Arab world was largely unified on most issues, especially in support of the Palestinians against Israel. But that is no longer true, with the Sunni Arab world is firmly aligned with Saudi Arabia, leaving most of the Shia Arab world aligned with Iran.
Even in the years since 2011 when the Syrian civil war began, there have been political differences, but the Arabs were able to paper them over, or kept secret. Israel's 67 day war with Hamas in Gaza in 2014 caused a temporary breach in Arab relations, but those differences were largely resolved.
But now the Arab world is clearly coming apart along sectarian lines, especially after two events in the last year that have substantially destabilized the entire Mideast. One is Iran's nuclear deal with the West, which is widely regarded in Saudi Arabia as America and the West siding with Iran against the Saudis. And the second was Russia's military intervention in Syria, reinforcing Bashar al-Assad genocidal extermination of Sunnis, and reviving memories of Russia's war in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
The storming and firebombing of the Saudi embassy in Tehran in early January, causing Saudi Arabia and several Arab countries to terminate relations with Iran, indicates that a point of no return has pretty much been reached.
After the Arab League meeting, Saudi's ambassador to Egypt Ahmed Kattan said that the Gulf states would be taking further measures against Hezbollah:
We will deal with Hezbollah as we deal with any terrorist organization. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries have begun preparing measures it will take against that terrorist party and they will be announced at the right time.
According to reports, the Obama administration has been warning Saudi Arabia not to "overreact" in Lebanon, and risk destabilizing the country. However, after the Obama administration has treated the Saudis largely with contempt for most of the past seven years, it's unlikely that they'll pay any attention.
There are a lot of people who think that somebody is going to wave a magic wand and things will return to the "normal" of ten years ago, but in this generational Crisis era, that's not going to happen. AP and Reuters and Al Manar (Lebanon/Hezbollah)
U.S. blames Iran for cyber attack on a New York dam
A probe by the Justice Department has determined that Iran was responsible for a 2013 cyberattack on the Bowman Avenue Dam, a small structure in Rye Brook, about 20 miles north of New York City. The dam is used for flood control. An indictment is expected in the next few weeks. It wasn't clear whether the indictment would charge specific people within the Iranian government, or Iran itself.
Reports conflict as to whether the hackers accessed the control system, or only back office systems that are not part of the operational systems of the dam. CNN and AP and Washington Post
