Jim Price, 53, Faces 208 Felony Counts
Police: Ephrata Man Had 70,000 Child Porn Images
Jim Price, 53, Faces 208 Felony Counts
EAST COCALICO TOWNSHIP, Pa. —
An Ephrata man was charged Monday with having more than 70,000 photos and videos of child pornography on his computer.
East Cocalico Township police charged Jim Price, 53, with 208 felony counts of keeping child porn on multiple computer hard drives.
Price could face a maximum sentence of more 1,400 years in prison.
He was also charged in September with having a sexual relationship with a pre-teenage girl.

The N.C. Court of Appeals on Friday released state money that had been awarded to families to send their children to private or religious schools before a Superior Court judge declared the voucher program unconstitutional.
Superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood ruled in late August that a 2013 law to use public money for tuition at private and religious schools violates the North Carolina constitution.
The ruling, which came days after the start of a new school year for private schools, left hundreds of families who had intended to use the state money wondering how they would meet tuition bills after Hobgood put an immediate halt to distribution of the funds.
N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper, state legislative leaders and several voucher advocates immediately asked the state appeals court for an emergency release of the money while they appealed Hobgood's decision.
But the appeals court, at that time, said the request was premature because Hobgood had not issued his written ruling yet. The N.C. Supreme Court sent the matter back to the appeals court.
The decision issued Friday stated that the 1,878 students who had already accepted vouchers should receive the money. The ruling prevents the release of new voucher grants awarded after Hobgood announced his ruling in Wake County Superior Court on Aug. 21.
Darrell Allison, president of voucher advocates Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina, said the operative words for Friday were "big relief."
Though none of the schools awaiting voucher money this year pushed students out, Allison said, the appeals court decision gives certainty to parents and schools affected by the Hobgood ruling.
Voucher opponents and supporters battling in court have agreed to an expedited appeals schedule that should have the issue decided in a few months – certainly before the next school year begins, Allison said.
Mark Jewell, vice president of the N.C. Association of Educators, wasn't certain what the voucher opponents' next step would be, but said they were determined to see the lawsuit through to the end.
"The heart and soul of public schools are at stake with the vouchers," Jewell said. "Our intent was to take it to the mat for the 1.5 million students, to continue to move forward and make sure that public dollars stay in public schools."
Initially, the voucher release date had been set as Sept. 19. But that was changed with little explanation to Aug. 15, setting up the timetable that meant money was released before Hobgood's decision.
The state agency in charge of administering the program had tried to distribute the first round of money before the Hobgood hearing, but a technical glitch prevented the payments from going through.
The law made $10 million in scholarship money available for up to 2,400 students for a maximum of $4,200 each.
"Today's ruling is welcome news for thousands of North Carolina families seeking to provide what's best for their children," Phil Berger, president pro tempore of the N.C. Senate, said in a statement. "I commend the Court of Appeals for stopping the disruption these students have faced and unlocking the financial pathway for them to receive an education that best meets their needs."
Rodney Ellis, president of the N.C. Association of Educators, lauded the portion of the appeals court ruling that halts the further awarding of vouchers to anyone other than the 1,878 already selected.
"We are pleased that the Court will not allow future taxpayer money to be used to fund private education while appeal of the case is pending," Ellis said in a statement.
The association of educators, he said, advocated that no money be released prior to a court decision and also advocated "for a hearing schedule that would have eliminated this inconvenience to parents and students." Staff writer Lynn Bonner contributed to this report.

But did you know that Bob and his late wife Collette once ran an art gallery in Butte, Montana, for five years in the 1970s?
"At the time, I was working for a mining and construction equipment company overseeing a fleet of trucks. Ourselves and four other couples who were artists and enjoyed art decided to open an art gallery," said Bob.
"We called our gallery `The Summer Gallery' because we planned to stay open only during the summer. That's because in Montana, the weather consists of three weeks of summer and 11 months of winter," smiled Bob.
However, the gallery became a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike, and it remained opened year-round. The gallery was open from 1972 to 1979, when it closed because several of the founders, including the Kilbournes, relocated elsewhere.
"Our specialty was scouring the Montana countryside for antique treasures that we would sell to antique brokers," said Bob. "Other antiques with little value became items that we would beautify with paint."
Collette became an expert in tole painting, which means decorative painting on tin and wood utensils, objects and furniture, while Bob prepared or built the items she painted. "Tole" is from a French word that means "painting on sheet metal." Bob said Collette's favorite was transforming a rusted water can into an owl with a beak and eyes.
Collette passed away in October 2011 from COPD. "I moved my real estate office into a spare bedroom and took care of her at home while she suffered for five years," said Bob.
Bob spent 27 years working for R.G. LeTourneau, Inc., a manufacturer of earthmoving and construction equipment. He moved to San Diego in 1996, and Collette worked for several years as a nurse for Sharp HealthCare. In March 1997, at the age of 60, Bob started selling real estate with McMillin Realty, where he remains today.
"I like real estate because I like working with people and helping them solve problems," said Bob, who is proud of his Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR) designation from the National Association of REALTORS®.
The 79-year-old also enjoys serving on PSAR committees. "It's a great, very-well-run organization with friendly people who don't mind helping each other," said Bob, who frequently attends PSAR's weekly "Rally and Ride" property pitch sessions.
According to Bob, "At a recent pitch session, an agent from another area of the county made a presentation about his property. Afterwards, this agent compared his Association's pitch session with PSAR. He told me, `You guys are alive, your members really do like each other. It was so enjoyable to be here.'"

Regional Rapid Transit
We see the creation of a regional rapid transit system as essential to our vision. Since 1968 the Baltimore Region has pursued the creation of such a system and constructed two lines, the Metro subway from Owings Mills to Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Central Light Rail from Hunt Valley to BWI and Glenn Burnie. The Red Line was planned to be the third line and the first east-west line in the system. The Transportation Alliance is working with numerous governmental and non-governmental partners to identify alternatives, evaluate them, and recommend the best way forward to local, regional, state and federal decision makers.
connecting people to opportunities
The Central Maryland Transportation Alliance was formed in 2007 as a diverse coalition of corporate and civic leaders uniting business, philanthropic and institutional sectors around a common agenda: improving and expanding transportation options for the citizens and businesses of Central Maryland.

Right now I have two hands that feed me.
The first one is my passive income. Right now, this equals a few hundred dollars a year in dividends from investing in stocks. I reinvest those (to get more dividends!) so they never hit my bank account. I also occasionally open up a bank account or a credit card for the sign up bonus. This nets me up to $1000 a year. Still not enough to live on.
So the primary hand that feeds me is my job. I'm not alone in this situation.
And there's no doubt that it's been a very good hand to me.
Sure, I've felt pangs of boredom and stress and frustration and exhaustion. It's also been incredibly rewarding, both personally and financially. I've been fortunate.
I've grown up a lot. I've learned a ton of new skills. My working life has made me a stronger, more complete person. I've been lucky to have had mostly great managers who were supportive and encouraging and pushed me to be better and plenty of employees who made me want to work harder in order to make their work experience better. I haven't always been the best employee, the fairest manager, or the most team-oriented coworker. I've worked hard and been lucky.
All this doesn't mean I'm not actively working towards financial freedom. In fact, I'm more motivated than ever.
That motivation doesn't come from hating my job (although it does for a lot of people). It comes from the feeling that no matter what, things are going to change. They could change for the better or change for the worse. Right now things are pretty good. The hand that feeds me is familiar, almost comfortable. When things are good at work, that is. When things are bad, I'm reminded of how dependent on that hand I still am. I need it, and it knows it.
I've known this hand for a long time. It's changed, and it's going to change. It's nothing personal, that's just the way companies are.
So it's nothing personal that I'm building up a stash so that I can feed myself. After all, if you consider life to be a game, you know you only have one hand to play.

I get really bad wifi connection when I'm in the fridge with my juice drinking all of the juice.
Thoughts while low
I get really bad wifi connection when I'm in the fridge with my juice drinking all of the juice.
Keeping it together: Wedding Planning Edition
I thought I have been doing quite well.
Sure, I've had a few more lows than usual. Sure, stress can do that. And sure, I keep having to remind myself after treating these lows that maybe it's time to slash away at my basal rates so these lows happen less often, but then I forget right up until the next 2.7 is staring me in the face.
Then this happened, and I found myself sitting in my office 2 days ago with an empty pump and a 6-day-old infusion set. That may be the norm for some, but I usually try to keep to a 3- or 4-day site rotation, so 6 is a bit much. Limiting sets to 3 or 4 days usually easy for me, since I've never made it past day 4 with any insulin left in my reservoir.
I think at this point it's safe to say that despite my best (okay, my medium-est) efforts, wedding planning has bested me. Diabetes care has fallen by the wayside. I'm still here, still bolusing for food and chowing back on glucose tablets when I'm low, but being proactive about my self-care is taking a backseat to all of the wedding stuff.
So, step 1 has been Recognizing The Need For Change. I guess step 2 is actually doing it. On that note, I will upload my cgm data to Carelink when I get home tonight. I will. Tonight.
I mean, not right away tonight. We have a meeting with the wedding DJ after work. But after that. Definitely.
Ginger snaps
Treating lows with ginger snaps this morning, because today is a day with an I-can't-handle-anotherfuckingglucosetablet kind of mood.
& no, I was not actually 2.7. My cgm was off by a bit; my BG was 3.0. Still low, but not in the 2's.
BGs in the 2-somethings usually result in the mad rush to stave off death with ALL OF THE CARBS RIGHT NOW OMG. My 3.0, today, was treated with cookies, coffee, and that difficult bitch, patience.
Telling an edited version of the story
I realized something slightly ridiculous today.
I told a lie about why I ended up waking up with a high BG this morning. I was out with a group of friends, but the migrane that's been edging in since I first woke up was getting louder and angrier by the minute. I spoke to the hostess to politely excuse myself so I could go home to sit in a very quiet room with the lights dimmed, and this kind, wonderful friend of mine asked what was up.
I told her, as well as her parents who had just arrived to the soiree, that I woke up with a high blood sugar and a splitting headache and it's been getting worse all day. I then shrugged. It must have been a kinked pump cannula or something, I explained. That's definitely why I woke up high.
It's not, though. I was 4.3 with 1.5 units of insulin on board when I checked before bed. I'd just started a new cgm and was still in the 2-hour warm-up period, so I had no cgm graph to indicate whether I was stable or dropping. I was uncomfortable going to bed at that number with insulin still on board, so I chugged back a juice box before brushing my teeth and going to bed.
I was, in case you can't tell where this is going, very mistaken about the effects of my on-board insulin. I woke up at 14 -- by far not the worst blood sugar I've ever seen upon waking up, but still high enough to give me the headachey, fuzzy-mouthed irritability that comes with a few solid hours of high BGs.
The part that's truly baffling though, is why did I lie? I'm positive my friend could not give less of a shit about the finer details. Why not just admit that I was scared of going low overnight, so I overreacted? There would be no judgement from this friend; no chastising me for not waiting it out or setting an alarm to check overnight. No finger-wagging or tsk-tsk-tsking at how I jumped the gun and treated a low that hadn't happened yet.
I know my actions weren't ideal. I think my reasons (fear of going low) are perfectly reasonable, but still I obviously overtreated. Why did I hide that information? Why treat it like I have something to hide?
Still figuring out the exercise thing
I think I found one of the most uncomfortable feelings basically ever - or in the top 10 at least. It starts with a high blood sugar, but not too high - something around 13 or just over.
13, by the way, is high enough for your body to start producing ketones. Did you know this? I did not remember this. Could happen though. Differs for everyone, but it's still possible.
So let me get back to the least comfortable feeling ever. That feeling when you exercise and in order to exercise you set a lower temp basal so you can exercise safely, but then following your exercise, you spike because your temp basal was probably a little overkill. That's okay though, right? Better safe than sorry. Having BG sitting a bit higher, maybe 12-13, post-exercise is certainly preferable to mid-exercise lows. (For me, anyways. Lows while I'm fighting traffic on my bike would be mildly unpleasant, probably.)
That post-exercise spike leaves you sitting at 13. You wait to correct the 13 because you're grocery shopping and picking up things for dinner, only by the time you get home your blood sugar of 13 has turned into 13 with large fucking ketones.
And dinner? Forget dinner. Instead of dinner, you get to be thirsty as fuck while simultaneously fighting the urge to hurl back up all of the water you just chugged. Fighting rather unsuccessfully, I might add.
Add to all of this the incredibly defeating feeling of failing at exercise, failing at diabetes, and the infuriating helplessness of the fact that THIS. IS. NOT. FAIR.
THAT, ladies and gentleman, makes my top 10 for most uncomfortable way to spend my Friday night.
First successful bike ride of 2016!
I made it! After two false starts last week (having some issues with my bike chain), I successfully made it home from work today. I set a 60% temp basal starting 4 hours before I left and continuing 30 minutes into my ride. It's a bit excessive, true, but I wanted to be extra-cautious since lately I've been tending to run low in the afternoons.
Both times last week when my chain got jammed and I couldn't get it un-stuck, the resulting high blood sugars were pretty miserable. I used the same temp basal (60% for 4.5hrs) in anticipation of a 60-minute cycling commute, so after getting home by car I would inevitably be stuck with a stubborn high BG for most of the night. The frustration from a failed ride is one thing, but dealing with the highs afterward made a missed bike ride into a whole different experience*.
I have to say I'm pretty thrilled that I finally made it home by bike. I'm also pretty pleased that I managed it with no lows.
Next task: see if I can manage a stable 7, WITHOUT lows, throughout my ride, instead of the 10 shown above. Unlikely, but hey! A girl can dream, no?
A crappy one. Briefly; only for a night, but still. Feels pretty crappy.
Gluten-free diet and lots of lows
A couple of weeks ago I had an appointment with Patricia, the dietician in my endo's office. The GI Dr recommended that I meet with the Rd to get strategies for converting to a gluten-free diet. He asked if I would be willing to meet with either the dietician in his office or the one in my endo's office. Sure? Why not. I called that day to book an appointment with Patricia, and later that month we sat down together to talk about my celiac diagnosis, what I'm eating, how the new diet is affecting BGs, etc.
I started the conversation by pointing out that since the celiac dx, my consumption of wine and cider has pretty much skyrocketed, while preparation of healthy home-cooked meals has dropped to an all-time low. She gave me some strategies for making small changes towards a better/more balanced gluten-free diet, then asked if she could download my pump to review my data while I was in the clinic.
Sure? Why not.
I hand over my pump. She links it up to her Carelink Pro, generates a few reports, and leaves briefly to pick them up from the printer. When she returns, she sits at her desk with a highlighter and attacks the reports in front of her. A few moments later she pushes a paper showing sensor data towards me.
"Do you see what I've highlighted here?"
"I --" ..... "Lows."
"These are severe lows. 1's and 2's. This is a week's worth of data."
I review the paper again. It is speckled with yellow dots. A LOT of yellow dots.
Waking up in the morning? Yellow dot. Breakfast - spike city. Post breakfast? Yellow dot. Lunch time? Moderate hill. Post-lunch? Yellow dot. Pre-dinner? Yellow dot. Post-dinner? Spike, plateau, moderate descent. Bedtime? BG within range.
Overnight? Yellow Dot City.
Patricia looks at me with kindness in her eyes and says she would like to call Brenda, my RN, in to help troubleshoot some of these stubborn lows. I shrug. Why not?
Enter Brenda. Brenda reviews Yellow Dot City. Brenda does not look happy about Yellow Dot City.
Brenda shuffles through the papers to find the one that lists my pump settings. She turns to me and her gaze sort of softens. She tells me that we need to do something about these lows. She explains that if I'm comfortable with her approach, she wants to slash my basal rates quite significantly. She suggests modifying one of my meal carb ratios as well, explaining that these things should leave me a little bit higher than I usually aim to be. She backs this up by showing me studies and research documenting how above-average-glucose levels over time can help to restore low glucose sensitivity. I take her word for it -- usually I'm interested in things like this, but I just can't bring myself to want to read the paper this time.
Brenda tells me it looks like I'm burnt out. She says she knows that I know that something isn't working, but analyzing the data in order to fix it is a daunting task, and she says she understands that I'm not feeling up to it.
She asks me to download my data in a few weeks and provide that to her. She's not asking me to do anything differently - not wanting extra monitoring or checking BGs. She wants me to carry on as usual, but with higher BGs. Her goal is to have me running between 8 and 10 for a few weeks, which will hopefully bring back some of my low glucose symptoms and allow me to feel lows coming on.
She doesn't ask me to do anything new. Nothing extra. Just a one-off data download in a few weeks so she can review the progress.
I know I'm lucky to see my doctor in a clinic where my team (RN, RD, MD) can call on one another to support my care -- but never have I been more appreciative of having a team who recognizes what I'm capable of and works with me to try to fix things.
A quick update
November has been a busy month. Other than being Diabetes Month and having the online world be filled with World Diabetes Day-related posts and messages, that is!
In brief, a bit of what's going on:
- How I spent about WDD: Driving! I travelled about 5hrs to visit family in a whirlwind trip that had me leave home Saturday morning and return Sunday night. I had never before taken a solo road trip that involved that many consecutive hours of driving, and on top of this I absolutely loathe long car trips, so I was more than a bit anxious to see how this would play out. Careful BG monitoring and CGM usage throughout helped to keep me in a safe range while driving, so that worked out nicely!
The only time over the entire weekend when I struggled with BGs was during my actual visit. I love my extended family dearly and was quite glad to see them (this was a last trip before they move farther than I'll be able to travel to see them), but the stress of family took all of my normal reactions to food/insulin and just about tripled them. I had multiple lows which, when treated appropriately (15-20g of carbs, wait 15 agonizingly slow and painful minutes), resulted in a super-spike. I chased the roller coaster for the entirety of my time spent with family (boo).
- Also on WDD: I received a fun message from the company that hosts me here at deveryday. A whole mess that I couldn't deal with without my laptop resulted in deveryday being down for a couple of days, and now that we're back up and running, I need to work on restoring everything I've posted since September. It seems my fix has sucked the last 2 months' worth of posts into the void.
- Some reading: Lately I've been finding myself flipping through Ginger Vieira's book. More on this later, but for now I'm finding it to be an enjoyable read.
- Very cool: I entered a giveaway, and won a meter supply case from courtesy of Stacey, at The Girl with the Portable Pancreas! I'm exciteddd!
Ben says WAKE UP (or, Blood Sugar Dog to the rescue)
Pump says low.
Melody says shhhh pump, I sleep.
Boyfriend is not home.
Pooch says NO HUMAN WAKE UP YOU ARE BEEPING WAKE UP EMERGENCY OMG OMG OMG.
Thx pooch.
When health stuff is all I've got going on
Sometimes I feel like diabetes doesn't leave me with very much left to work with. When I ask someone how their weekend went and in return they ask me the same, I sometimes struggle to come up with a description for my days that doesn't revolve around diabetes. I have entire days where all I can remember is the thirsty, bloaty, exhaustion-filled highs that wouldn't come down or the trembling, sweaty lows that shake me to my core.
I know that life isn't all about taking care of diabetes. Health and disease management should only be one part of a complete and balanced life. It makes me wonder, at times, what has to give in order to find that balance. Do you give up on tight BG control in order to gain back some flexibility in life? Or give up some of life in order to achieve a better A1C? The bums-me-out-that-it's-one-or-the-other thing aside, I feel right now as though I'm erring on the side of better BGs, and as a consequence I'm missing out on other things.
I need to figure out how to fix that. Until I get to that, you can find me working on some solid non-diabetes-related lies to tell people when they ask about my weekends.

A Portland, Ore., lawyer arrested in connection with the Madrid terror attacks was released yesterday when after evidence pointed to another suspect, reports the Associated Press. Brandon Mayfield, 37, was free two weeks after his arrest.
Spanish officials said fingerprints on a bag near the bombing site in Spain were those of an Algerian. U.S. authorities had said Mayfield's prints were on the bag, which contained explosive detonators similar to those used in the March 11 bombings that killed 191 people and injured 2,000 others.
Mayfield, a convert to Islam, recited the Muslim prayer: "God is great. There is no God but God." Public defender Steve Wax said that a gag order issued by a federal judge remained in place. "The reality of this case is that some breaks in that secrecy – some leaks – have been quite harmful to Mr. Mayfield," he said. Mayfield was arrested on a material witness warrant, which allows the government to hold a potential suspect without formally charging them.

Hi my name is Carm and I am an oncology/end of life nurse. It sounds like he has a bowel obstruction. If he is having bowel movements are they watery stools? He is third spacing fluid so he needs to keep those feetelevated and compression stockings. He also needs a diuretic to get rid of the excess fluid. These are not end of life signs. If it is coffee ground emesis or vomiting that looks like coffee grounds he might have a GI bleed somewhere. How is his color? Is he pale? Is his pulse fast or slow? I am going to send you my personal email. Contact me and I will send you my number in case you have any questions. Don't try to feed him anything but clear fluids. I'll send the email now, Carm RN.

Caring for uncle who is getting worse VERY fast. Need advice/guidance on signs of the end & what to do, etc PLEASE HELP!
My is a 58 yo male. He was perfectly healthy as of 12/1/2012 nice toned muscles looked good for his age. He now is all boned & saggy skin. He has not been able to eat more than a couple bite at a time & throws it back up 60% of the time the drs just gave us a timeline of a couple months but I think it might be sooner. Since last night he has vomited everything he took in plus some. It has been very dark green almost black & grainy. He has been asleep 90% of the day/night since yesterday & is not able to even walk as of this evening. He had my husband put him in the wheelchair to go out side to drain his cath bag. His legs from the knees to toes are

Building intercultural competences, a handbook for professionals in education, social work and health care
door Maria Giovanna Onorati; Furio Bednarz;
1e druk, 20100501, isbn13: 9789033479717
Engels, zachte omslag, geïllustreerd, 304 pagina's

(meer)This book provides an interdisciplinary, international and inter-professional perspective on building intercultural competences within three professional ambits: education, social work and health care. Starting from the experience gained during an Intensive Programme, the International Course of Intercultural Competences (ICIC) developed within the EU Lifelong Learning Programmes (LLP) for Education and Training, this book offers a relevant example of action-research in lifelong intercultural learning. It joins two fundamental moments in all research. On the one hand, the book represents the theoretical framework, implying analysis, framing, conceptualization and inference of new knowledge. On the other hand, the book focuses on the practice, implying observation, active intervention in real life situations and evidence of changes according to an integrated and dynamic process. The solid theoretical background of the described action-research and the close anchorage between theory and practice, conceived in full harmony with the EU priorities and UNESCO's pillars in education, gave life to an enhanced concept of lifelong learning in the field of intercultural education. As a consequence, the initial idea of a field-book about a learning experience developed into a real hand-book on building intercultural competences in these professions.

The legacy application. Some have a longer legacy than others but we all have them. Those applications that won't run on anything but Windows XP, or in some cases even, Windows 9x. It was a little over 3 years ago when I was installing a $250,000 CNC milling machine that I came into contact with my biggest legacy application, both in terms of size (the CNC had its own 3000 sq. ft. room) and age. You see the CNC was running a MS-DOS based application. Not a big deal, most of them will still run in XP, but in this case the OS was also DOS 6.22.
Today you might be dealing with your own legacy applications (hopefully none as bad as the CNC) but thankfully you have a lot of options. For the very minor issues like OS version detection and permissions you can usually fix them with the Application Compatibility Trouble Shooter built into Windows 7 (aka Compatibility Mode in Vista). For bigger issues there is the Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.5 which will allow you to scan your network, detect applications with compatibility issues and create and deploy shims to fix them. Finally, for those applications that just won't work, there is virtualization. XP Mode in Windows 7 is one option that uses virtualization to "host" the application in an XP virtual machine running in the background. To the end user all they see is a red border around the application window. Now managing 2-3 XP Mode machines in your environment shouldn't be a big deal but in an 8, 25, 500, 1237 seat network it becomes more of a challenge.
This is where MED-V, aka Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization, comes into play. MED-V is XP Mode on steroids allowing you to build, deploy and manage virtual environments to the desktop clients allowing those legacy applications to run while giving you the management control you need to keep things running and keep your sanity.
Now there have been a ton of questions on XP Mode and MED-V and while there is a day dedicated to solving app compat issues at TechDays there is also a series of webcasts with Mark Russinovich on solving app compat issues.

Feeling a little down? It happens… especially during winter time when overcast days seem to stretch on. I found this helpful article by Healing Solutions that explains how using essential oils can naturally boost your energy and resolve.
The Uplifting Power of Essential Oils
It's pretty normal to feel a little down during the cold winter months and health professionals have found a number of different contributors to SAD including: a lack of sunlight, poor diet, and low-quality sleep. Use these energizing and uplifting essential oils to give your mood a boost this winter!
- Citrus. The scent of citrus essential oils can really transform your mood. The invigorating fragrance is known to stimulate the mind and improve functions of the brain including mood and productivity. Citrus has a strong smell and energetic essence that's great for use in your diffuser, as a home cleaning solution, or even in topical rubs to calm feelings of anger and anxiousness. There are so many to choose from, too, including: Clementine, Key Lime, Neroli, Blood Orange, Sweet Orange, Wild Orange, Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Tangerine. Try the Citrus Bliss Blend, too!
- German Chamomile. Everybody can feel down from time to time. Use the power of German Chamomile to stimulate your senses and lift feelings of sadness, disappointment, and sluggishness. Just smelling the soothing and calming fragrance is enough to relax the nervous system and eliminate SAD symptoms. Add just a few drops to a warm bath or to your diffuser to gain the mood-boosting benefits. German Chamomile blends well with other feel-good oils like Citrus, Tea Tree, Jasmine, Lavender, and Ylang Ylang.
- Hydacheim. This exotic and aromatic flower delivers a volatile oil with a sweet and spicy scent that is wonderful on its own. But it's more than just a pleasant fragrance. Hydacheim's active plant essences are actually known to work wonders on the human nervous system. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, you can use Hydacheim oil to calm mental and physical stressors as it has a powerful tranquilizing effect.
- Rosemary. This herb has many common uses around the house (especially in the kitchen), but did you know that the fragrant oils it contains are known to improve mental functions, too? Health practitioners have found the essential oil of Rosemary to enhance memory, reduce mental fatigue, and improve alertness and focus. Topically, it's also a great pain reliever for muscles and joints… even headaches! The fragrance of this stimulating oil is ideal for aromatherapy first thing in the morning. Blends well with other mood-boosting essential oils including: Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Peppermint.
- Lavender. This oil is effectively uplifting with a floral fragrance that calms all types of stress. Because of its ability to soothe the mind and body, Lavender has been used to enhance sleep, relaxation, and mood in both children and adults. The gentle aroma eases anxiety, worry, muscle tension, and negative thoughts.
*LNS Note: If you are allergic to any of these essential oils, discontinue use. For example, if you're allergic to lavender flowers, you will most likely be allergic to the essential oil as well.
How Essential Oils Work on Your Mood
Essential oils are more than just fragrances. Because they are derived from plant material, they contain what many have called "plant essences" - the active chemical compounds inherent to the original plant that often constitute the medicinal properties of your essential oils. While medical professionals don't yet know exactly how different essential oils are able to influence subtle energies to positively impact emotional health, their use in aromatherapy is well-known to help manage stress, reduce anxiety, and contribute to a feeling of well-being.
Aromatherapy. Apply a few drops of your favorite mood-boosting essential oils to your palm and rub your hands together. Gently inhale the aroma from your hands, and then exhale slowly. A few deep breaths should help to improve your mood in just minutes! Alternatively, you can add the oil to your diffuser for longer-lasting aromatic benefits.
*LNS Note: You can also add drops of essential oils to a light-simmering pan of water on the stove to move the relaxing smells throughout the house.
Topical. You can use essential oils for a relaxing massage by diluting them in a carrier oil, adding them to your favorite unscented lotions, or using them to make homemade salves/muscle rubs. Apply to specific pulse points including the wrist, neck, base of the spine, bottom of the feet, and the temples.
Soak. Including essential oils in a foot soak or a sea salt bath is a great way to relieve stress and melt away tensions. Use any of the above-listed oils, or blend together your favorites for a unique scent and powerful aromatic benefits.
A Note on Quality
When using essential oils for medicinal purposes, the quality of the oil becomes the most important factor. Some companies make essential oils that do not contain even the minimum amounts of active plant compounds needed to provide a therapeutic effect. They are simply perfumes.

When it comes to the appeal against conviction, many people are not aware of the fact that there is a time limit of 28 days from the date of conviction for them to file an appeal. While there are a number of instances where an extension of time has been granted to the convicts, it is important that one should file an appeal within that 28 day time frame.
One of the most important decisions when it comes to filing an appeal is to choose the right criminal appeals barrister. So, if you or any of your loved ones has been convicted of a crime and wants to appeal against the conviction, here are a few tips to help you choose the right criminal appeals barrister.
One of most important factors that you need to consider while choosing a barrister for appealing against conviction is the number of years of experience in this field. Therefore, it is important that you choose a firm that has a number of highly experienced barristers in the team to provide you quality representation during the appeal. The best way to check their experience is to ask them to share their past successes in cases similar to yours.
Reputable and well-known appeals barristers do not come cheap. Therefore, you should be ready to pay a high price in order to hire the services of a team of good barristers. However, it is important that you get everything in writing where all the fees are mentioned in a transparent manner.
As far as the process of filing an appeal against conviction is concerned, it starts with filing W form or B form which then needs to be sent to the Crown Court. The documents need to be filled correctly as even a slight mistake can result in rejection of the documents. Once the court has received the forms, they will check all the details and pass on the documents to the registrar in London.
The registrar in London will check the papers and provide a reference number which will be used any time your lawyers contact the court. The process then moves on to the single judge part of the appeal. In this process, a single judge decides whether you will be granted a leave to appeal. This decision is based solely on the transcripts, relevant file papers, appeal advice as well as notice and grounds of appeal.
A single judge records the decision on an SJ form which states the reason given by the judge for refusing or granting the appeal. If the judge grants the leave to appeal, you have 14 days for informing the Criminal Appeal office. This time limit of two weeks is very strict and is rarely extended.
After this process, there is a full court hearing where a panel of three judges decides whether the convict should or shouldn't be given leave to appeal. If it is successful, the case moves to the High Court which is also known as Law Court or Court of Appeal Criminal Division.
In the High Court, the appeal is heard by a panel of three judges. As far as the time taken for the court case is concerned, most of the cases are over in a matter of hours but some cases can also run for several days depending on the circumstances as each case is different.

Wendy Davis: Pro-Life Women Don't Really Understand Late-Term Abortion
Typical arrogant lib.
Texas Democrat Wendy Davis told reporters today pro-Life women don't really understand late-term abortion.
Life News reported:
Wendy Davis stuck her foot in her mouth today in an interview with a reporter from the Weekly Standard following her press conference today, during which she called abortion "sacred ground" and said she is contemplating running for governor.
Davis spoke with John McCormack of the Weekly Standard after the speech and press conference. During the interview she said women who support banning late-term abortions don't understand the issue of abortion.
Essentially, Davis said pro-life women are too stupid to understand the totality of the issue of abortion. As TWS reported:
TWS: What do you make of polls showing that a majority of women support these late-term bans? There have been a few polls–Washington Post, Huffington Post, different polls–that show women support this. What do you think of those polls?
DAVIS: I again think that a lot of people don't really understand the landscape of what's happening in that arena today and what an incredibly small percentage of procedures take place there, but, ah…
Well, one thing pro-lifers don't understand is when leftists praise Satan.
That's clear.

Cooler Master N200 Chassis Review
The Build and Finished Product
As I was about to install the DVD drive, I had to remove the bezel to do this. The latches for the cover are on the inside of the bezel, and you don't have to worry about the wiring, the front I/O stays with the case as you remove the front bezel.
With the bezel back in place you can align the optical drive with it fairly easy. The thing is, if you do plan to use the 5.25" bay, it definitely breaks up the stock look where that bar went all the way down and wasn't so obviously broken up. It still looks good like this though in my opinion, just not as good.
Inside things are cramped, but I was able to install all of the typical gear. With a small CPU cooler like this you could put a fan at the top, but larger cooler will conflict with this area. The Radeon HD 7950 has plenty of room left on the right of it, and the PSU went in fine, but wiring the clips to it is tight quarters.
At the back, I found the dust shield snapped right into place. The expansion slots line up well, and the screws are easy enough to use. Even with the PSU, everything lined right up and it was easy to send the screws home.
Since there isn't a window in this chassis I was less worried about putting the PSU wiring back here. I was able to run all of the front I/O wiring and the SATA cables with ease. It really wouldn't be too hard to get the 24-pin back here or the video card power leads, but the case does lack an 8-pin hole at the top.
Now the N200 is all closed back up and ready for testing. If it weren't for the DVD drive sticking through the bezel, there really isn't anything that changes about the looks. If you liked it empty, you are going to like it when the system is built too.
When I powered on the system, I ran into a question. Why did I have a power LED and an HDD LED when the front of the chassis only offers the flicker of a white LED under the power button to denote the HDD access? Either way, with just a tiny white LED, there is very little lighting to deal with in any environment.

Greenwich Comedy Festival:
Burlesque After Dark
Review by Colin Dibben
Being a live burlesque virgin, I wasn't sure what to expect from this late-night show in the Cabaret Lounge tent. Based on watching a Tempest Storm movie on the telly with my dad some years ago, I had an idea it might include scantily clad ladies and a bit of a sing song.
Well, it was a lot more high-concept than that: a rather fetching kimono-ed Asahi Lashes (yes, she had very long eye lashes) sat on a swing - in a 15-foot birdcage be-decked with flowers - reading a bedtime story to the audience. According to the tale, the women performing were alt-universe Alices, Cinderellas, Mary Poppinses who had mysteriously washed up in Greenwich ...
Before the loosening of clothing started, Emma Divine sung some cabaret standards that were nicely tweaked for the midnight audience. The performers then followed one another with startling rapidity, so apologies where I have mixed up names and performances.
Chrys Columbine stripped to her own piano playing, her arpeggios punctuated with accoutrements flung across the stage; Misty Waters put on more clothes than she is probably used to wearing - as a suffragette, who shed layers to give us an intriguing history lesson; Beau Burlington, clown and dancer (cleverly circumventing the 3am
nightmare that those words conjure up together) played a balloonist making her escape from the venue wearing aviator goggles and not much else; and finally a delightful young woman, Sophia St Villier, shimmied her dress off from behind a splendid purple feather boa, before showering herself with glitter from a champagne bottle.
Emma Divine's finale had us all scratching our heads over an onstage crossword – a suitably demure end to all the horseplay.

I am originally from Scotland and even though I do miss all my family, I consider my Chrysalis work colleagues 'my second family'. In my spare time I enjoy reading, DIY and spending as much time as I can visiting family in Scotland and my daughter in London.

Item is available as a recurring order
To automatically re-order this item before you run out, select the recurring order option during checkout.
The Velvet Underground Day by Day
By turns fiercely confrontational, literate, primitive and sweetly melodic, The Velvet Underground remain one of the most influential bands in the history of rock. The ultimate cult band and the ultimate art rock experience, the VU's music and style have served as a blueprint for everyone from David Bowie to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Yet for all their enduring importance, they were unsuccessful in their day, selling minute numbers of records, with their monochrome look and photo-realist lyrics at odds with the garish colors and peace fantasies of the hippy era. It was only when David Bowie started to champion the band in the early 70s, after they had split up, that the VU's reputation started to spread. In White Light/White Heat, noted rock writer and historian Richie Unterberger analyses the band's career and influence in forsensic detail, drawing on many new interviews with band members and associates, previously undiscovered archive sources and a vast knowledge of the music of the times. The result is a comprehensive, articulate, immensely detailed history – the most thorough work on the band yet published.

What Race Is Rachel Dolezal?
Disentangling biology and culture to understand Rachel Dolezal's race.
Posted Jul 16, 2015
One of the main themes of this blog is the attempt to disentangle issues of biology and culture to better understand the concept of race. Occasionally, a racially charged media uproar creates an opportunity to clarify some issues. Previously, I discussed the question, What Race Is George Zimmerman?; this time I am asking, What Race Is Rachel Dolezal?
A story about Rachel Dolezal, leading her to resign as President of the Spokane, Washington NAACP, asserts that she falsely claimed that she is black for years; and she was even investigated for potential criminal prosecution.
I would like to focus on a central element of this complex story—Ms. Dolezal's racial identity. In my book The Myth of Race, I attempted to disentangle human biological variation from the cultural concept of race. These two distinct conceptual domains are often confused (as I believe they are here) and such confusions can lead to mental distress and social conflict.
The following are what appear to be some relevant facts in this evolving story. (I will use "black" and "white" as American racial terms, and words like "African American" and "European American" as American ethnic terms.)
1. Both of Ms. Dolezal's biological parents are of European descent, with some Native American but no African ancestors.
2. Her parents adopted four black children, so she has had the experience of living with black siblings.
3. She is an artist, and has an MFA from Howard University, a predominantly black institution.
4. Her ex-husband is black; and she has a son from that union.
5. (a) Several years ago, she became the guardian of one of her adopted black brothers; and various charges and denials of sexual abuse within her family of origin have possibly led to
(b) her parents telling the media that she is white, and
(c) her referring to a black man, to whom she is not biologically related, as her father.
All of these elements suggest intense familial conflict and Ms. Dolezal's estrangement from her white parents.
6. She considers herself African American, and portrays herself as black. She has concealed her lack of African ancestry, much as people who "pass for white" conceal the presence of such ancestry.
7. As with people who "pass for white," publicly maintaining her chosen identity has led her to make a number of misleading and false statements about herself and her background.
Because Americans believe that the folk concept of "race" is explained by the folk concept of "blood" (= ancestry), anyone without known African ancestry cannot be black (the one-drop rule). Therefore, Ms. Dolezal is a liar, and is not "really black."
A key problem here is the assumption that a person's race—assumed in the United States to be a biological fact—can be objectively determined by examining his or her ancestry.
Other cultures have very different concepts of race. In Brazil you are what you look like; and because people look a lot of different ways, they have a lot of different racial terms. For example, a study by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (the entity responsible for the census) asked people what color they are and received 134 different answers.
Brazilians complain that Americans are racist, and one obvious proof (to them) is that we call people black who are not black. In Brazil it is impossible to pass for white or black or anything else, because you are what you look like, regardless of what your parents or ancestors look like.
Ms. Dolezal's predicament is similar to that of transsexuals whose gender identity does not correspond to what their body looks like. Because our culture doesn't have a category for a woman with a penis or a man with a vagina, we force such people underground. Things have improved for transsexuals, but many men and women still do not accept them, and are even angered or revolted by them. This is not, however, an argument against tolerance.
In a similar way, our culture doesn't have a category for black people with no African ancestry, and forces them underground. Many blacks, whites, and others do not accept such individuals, and are even angered or revolted by them. But this, too, is not an argument against tolerance.
The uproar that has surrounded revelations about Ms. Dolezal has produced some truly strange bedfellows and odd arguments. Blacks and whites, liberals and conservatives, have raised their voices in defense of the one-drop rule, and against the notion that individuals should be free to choose their own identity—religious, political, ethnic, racial, gender—whatever.
Some people rationalize their intolerance by saying that they are upset not by her choice of racial identity, but by her lying. Given the reaction to a white woman in America claiming to be black, it is not surprising that she chose to lie. But one is entitled to ask—among those who feel entitled to cast the first stone—whether they have ever, in the course of personal, business, sexual, or other social interactions, minimized, concealed, or falsified their own personal data in order to achieve some personal advantage. And do they really want to defend the one-drop rule, a principle that has caused much grief for African Americans for centuries?
Let's give Rachel Dolezal a break. Now that she has come out of the closet, let us accept her declaration that she is black: an African American woman with no black blood.

The English county of Yorkshire will host two stages of the 2013 Tour de France. The Grand Départ of the 101st edition of the Tour will take place on July 5 in Leeds. It will be the fourth time the Tour has visited Britain after previous visits in 1974 and 1994. Gary Verity, chief executive of the agency Welcome to Yorkshire, which pushed forward the county's bid, said: "We are honoured that the race organisers have selected Yorkshire to be the host location of the 2014 Grand Depart. It will mean that, less than two years after hosting the Olympics, the British public can look forward to another of the world's biggest sporting events coming to the country." The third stage of the 101st Tour will finish in London.
The first edition of the European Games will take place in Baku in June 2015. The capital of Azerbaijan was the sole candidate for hosting the new regional competitions under the auspices of the European Olympic Committees. Dates have not been fixed yet. As many as 7,000 athletes are expected to participate with 15 of the 28 summer Olympic sports on the programme, plus two non-Olympic sports to be named.
The International Paralympic Committee has chosen Glasgow to host the 2015 IPC Swimming World Championships. The event will take place at Tollcross International Swimming Centre, in Glasgow's south-east. GLASGOW is also in the running to host the semi-finals and final of the 2020 UEFA European Championship.
After 15 years, the Ford World Women's Curling Championship is returning to Saint John in Canada from March 15-23, 2014. "The people of the city of Saint John and the Province of New Brunswick put on a first class show for all of the world in 1999", declared Kate Caithness, President of the World Curling Federation. "The World Curling Federation, Canadian Curling Association and our partner Ford of Canada expect to see a great crowd for this event given the momentum and interest that will be created around the Olympic Winter Games in Russia being held just a month before the World Women's Championship." Since 2005, the men's and women's championships have been held in different venues, with Canada hosting one of the two tournaments every year.
Farther west, the Canadian City of Windsor will host the 2016 World Short Course Swimming Championships. It will be the second time the biennal event visits North America since it was launched in 1993 (after Indianapolis in 2004). It will be staged at the WFCU Centre, a multi-purpose entertainment complex, which is home to the local city's pro basketball and ice hockey teams. Windsor will install a 25-metre pool for the event. "We are aware of the FINA strength in the world of sports and this fantastic outcome will help transform our city and strengthen our passion for sport," said Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis.

Pointers On How to Deter Heart Attacks
Whilst you come across the words ìheart attackî, itís more than likely that there are no good thoughts that come to your mind. None of us expects to ever get a heart attack. It may be the scariest incidents in your lifetime in the instance that you or a family member endures a heart attack.
Your best shield for staying away from a heart attack is adequate prevention. How does heart attack prevention go down? Well, by studying your general health, a specialist will be able to work along with you to suggest various guidelines to help you thwart a heart attack. These integrate anything from basic diet adjustments to prescribed medicines.
At Home Prevention of Heart Attacks
Presently there are a few things you can accomplish without any help that donít demand medicine. Clearly, meeting with a doctor for starters is always advised. That said, here are approaches which researchers have proven to assist in preventing heart attacks.
ïKeep your weight healthy
ïSurplus bodyweight has been identified to increase your risks of heart problems
ïIt also boosts your possibilities of getting elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol
ïAvoid using tobacco
There are distinct chemicals inside the tobacco that may well cause difficulties for your blood vessels/heart. Smoking cigarettes can bring about atherosclerosis (constricting of the arteries) which can cause heart attacks.
Continue to be active on consistently
Enjoying anywhere from 30-60 minutes of working out in most days will help you to thwart heart sickness. Regular exercise handles bodyweight, purges stress, and enables you to take care of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol.
Stick to a well-balanced eating plan
Minimizing high-fat meals, high-sodium foods and sugary snacks. Integrate vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low-fat dairy
Medical Prevention of Heart Attacks
Right after a comprehensive evaluation from your doctor, you might discuss with them pertaining to medical prevention which you may perhaps need. In the event your blood is more likely to clot, your doctor will oftentimes recommend a blood thinner. If the blood pressure is significant, a beta blocker could be the best suited medication for you.
Assuming you have had a heart attack in the past, an ACE inhibitor facilitates your heart by making it much easier to have blood flow from the heart. This may well avert any forthcoming heart attacks. If your cholesterol is significant, you possibly will need a cholesterol reducing medication. These integrate medicine such as statins and niacin.
Despite the presence of these medicine, your medical practitioner will still evaluate exactly what you ought to do to alter your daily life. Those factors are contained in the list of basic steps above that can be done at home to diminish your likelihood of getting a heart attack. Primarily, your personal doctor may wish to attentively watch you if you are in peril. This means you will be visiting your physician more frequently to keep an eye on your all around health.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun
I feel the desperate need to escape.
I'm the fly curled shivering in the web
The spider approaches at increasing speed.
I hear Cerberus' sinister growl
Waiting for me, expecting me there.
I hear the siren singing
I avoid her song and don't dare look in her eyes.
I feel the winter closing in
My heart iced cold
Emotion frozen.
Only fear and hurt remain.
Anxiety never rests.
Replay and re-evaluate
Turn life upside down.
A nauseous view of darkened history.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
I need to rest
I need to sleep.

Created work.
Werken bij Enexis HTML5 game
Because I studied Game development I really wanted to make a game during my internship. At Bandbreed they where so kind of giving me this opportunity! With a composite team we created a game for Enexis, called Werken bij Enexis, this HTML5 game would enlighten people about the work they do in the field.
During this project which had a very tight deadline, I was responsible for the whole gameplay. I programmed the three mini-games with EaselJS, javascript. That was also a challenge because at that time EaselJS just released its first non-beta version. This game is also playable on the Ipad. Later was the game ported to Actionscript 3.0.

I was so glad to see everyone coming back from Spring Break. I hadn't seen Maggie, and that's why I ditched Jeffrey. Hahaha. No, really, do you have friends you don't really talk to out of school but in school you pal around alot? I do. It's mostly because they haven't given me their number or anything of that nature. I'm a maniac when it comes to the phone. I kind of just call people randomly and ask, "Whatcha thinkin' about????" My good friends will just call me crazy and hang up. Some great friends I have. :P

Wants Vs. Needs. The bread and butter of topics like budgeting, frugality, minimalism, stoicism, happiness – the list goes on.
Some people will argue that retiring on $20,000 a year sounds terrible – a life of deprivation, penny pinching, always watching account balances and more constraint than freedom. Others will argue that in today's society, $20,000 a year can buy you everything you need and that the ultimate want is the time and energy to do whatever you want.
And there are plenty of people in the middle:
It's easy to argue that we all need food, shelter, love, safety, purpose…it's when deciding how much of that is excessive that we run into trouble. When it comes to buckling down on financial goals, wants seem to become an all or nothing topic.
While I'm a pretty strong believer that a lot of our wants are excessive, I'm a much stronger believer that either take too much time or not enough time questioning our wants. If we're Animals, we don't question them at all. If we're Deprivers, we question them all, plus some of the needs. But are we even asking the right question?
Usually, it goes something like "Do I want this or need this" or "Why do I want a new (insert here)". What about if we asked this instead:
Why don't I want (the opposite)?
Let's say you're replacing something that's not really outdated, but you're bored with it and there's a newer and better one on the market. Asking yourself if you want or need it is an all or nothing game – you'll either convince yourself that you need it, that you want it and you deserve it, that you don't want it (but it took convincing), or that you don't need it (also took convincing).
When you ask these types of questions, not getting what you wanted automatically becomes deprivation (you're denying yourself something, even if it's a good decision to say no) or even worse, failure.
There's a good portion of what you want (and don't want) that (getting) is probably out of your control. But not getting what you want is still failure – you were deprived, either by yourself or things outside of your control.
But would you rather have to do something you don't want to do or be deprived of what you do want?
When you go to replace (insert here), ask yourself "Why don't I want to keep using the one I already have (and reaping the benefits)?"
Why don't I want to keep my current car, phone, clothes, computer, house?
This makes the decision about reasons – which sounds pretty reasonable to me.
