Coming into the middle of 2017, interior designers have had plenty of time to show off what's popular in bedrooms. If you're thinking about making a change in your own bedroom, here are some themes for the year.
White Walls with Pops of Color
This trend may not be new, but it's one that is a classic. If you want to make a bedroom a bit homier without a lot of work, try this. Leave those walls white and then put up some vivid art in colors you like. A few pillows and accents in bright colors will take care of the rest.
Industrial Chic Design
Industrial bedroom design is gaining in popularity and is a solid option for a change. Use brown tones, put up brick tiles on the wall, and use furniture with metal accents. It's the opposite of the white wall design just mentioned but just as exciting.
Organized Madness
Surprisingly, this design type relies on a perfectly arranged mess. If you are wondering how to decorate my bedroom, this one is a cinch. Consider books propped in various places and asymmetrical lighting. This gives off a real lived-in feeling and doesn't have to be chaotic. It's a perfect option for those with lots of items to show off.
Designs from Yesteryears
Pulling from previous decades is nothing new when it comes to design, but it's something that is certainly rising in the current year. Designs from the '70s and '60s are coming back with a vengeance. Pair them up with neutral tones and wood to have a bedroom that pairs modern with aged.
Juxtaposition with Colors and Concrete
The concrete walls that are common with industrial design are also used in other ways. Combining those walls with warm colors works well. Some low-hanging lights and bedding sets in oranges and yellows are sure to give you a room to talk about. You can find some ideas at http://reliable-remodeler.com/rooms/.
On the Gray Scale
Gray is neutral and can seem cold if it's the only color represented in a room. However, using blacks, grays, and whites makes it easy to match a room up. The secret is to incorporate something small, like a plant or other accent, that does give a nice pop of color to pull everything together.

I m using Video Recording Software and it dose not support any other hard drives for recording only it records at local HDD drives, i need to attach external usb hard drive and wanna add and show as local drive, is it possible attaching external USB Hard and format all local and usb drives and reinstall windows , formatting and creating new partition including usb Hard ?????
Jan makes some excellent points, but if you still want to try, you can mount your your USB drive as a folder on a local drive, and this may be good enough for your software. To do so:
Create a folder for this purpose on your internal hard disc (say C:VidRecs).
Connect your USB drive. For the sake of these instructions, let's assume it's drive E: on your PC.
Run "Computer Management", click on the arrow next to "Storage" on the left and click "Disk Management"
Locate drive E: in the list.
RIGHT-click on it and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
Click on [Add...]
Type the path to the folder you created (e.g. C:VidRecs) or click [Browse], navigate to it and click [OK]
Click [OK] to close the window, and close the Computer Management window as well. The USB drive will now appear both as the external drive E: and as C:VidRecs.
Normally the reason that it doesn't accept external drives is that they mostly don't offer enough write-speed to keep up with the data produced by the recorder.
Therefor I would rule out using something like a USB hard drive because it will most likely bring your system down to the knees as the data recorder will eat up all your RAM waiting to be stored.
Your best option probably is getting eSATA.
If your computer doesn't have an eSATA port get an adapter card and an eSATA hard drive. Then you also don't have to deal with work-arounds since eSATA storage is automatically treated like internal storage.
some external hard drives are standard hard drives contained in a box with an additional circuit board that converts their SATA or IDE interface into a USB or Firewire interface. Open the case, find the hard drive then install directly into your PC.

Swing trading is a style that operates over short to medium time frames.
It lies between the very short time frames of day trading and the longer time frames of position trading:
It's not so short that it commits all your time to monitoring the market.
Yet it is short enough to provide plenty of trading opportunities.
You can get an overview of the style in What is Forex Swing Trading.
Today we are going to dive deeper into swing trading strategies, to illustrate the risk factors and benefits involved.
We'll start by looking at a few simple Forex swing trading strategies, then investigate how to build more complex versions.
And remember that this is not our only educational resource for learning swing trading strategy:
...our cost-free webinars cover this topic and many more.
Swing trading is a style, not a strategy.
The time frame defines this style and within that, there are countless strategies we can use to swing trade.
These strategies:
These concepts give you two choices within your swing trading strategy including to:
Counter-trending strategies look to profit when support and resistance levels hold up.
Trend-following strategies look for those times when support and resistance levels break down.
For either type, it's useful to have the ability to visually recognise price action.
A quick word on price action:
...markets don't tend to move in a straight line.
Even when ultimately trending, they move up and down in step-like moves.
We recognise an uptrend by the market setting higher highs and a downtrend by lower lows.
Many swing trading strategies involve trying to catch and follow a short trend:
...but we will also look at trading counter to the trend.
Look at this hourly chart of EUR/USD.
The chart shows an uptrend that lasts around a week and it moves with a typical zig-zag pattern.
The price rises for a few hours and then is interrupted by some periods of decline.
After this, the upward progression continues.
These steps combine so that the overall movement is higher.
Generally, we are seeing higher highs being achieved.
The lows are also generally rising.
Though the overall trend is up, there is a stretch in the middle (from early on 12 July through to 10.00 on 13 July), where there is a pullback or reversal.
During this period, the market is not setting new highs while the lows are moving lower and lower.
After this countertrend period, the upward trend resumes.
So with this eyeball method, we are looking to catch the bullish swing:
...but only when we are confident that it is going to continue.
How long will a pullback persist?
We have no way to know.
Instead we look for confirmation that the market has gone back to its original trend.
In other words, we:
The tell-tale signal that we are seeking, is a resumption in the market setting higher lows.
This suggests the pullback is over.
So we would be buying EUR/USD around 16.00 on 13 July.
At this point we've seen the market setting increasingly higher highs:
...and just as importantly…
...we've seen the lows of each period also rise.
Let's say we buy in at 1.1082.
Our first version of this strategy places a stop-loss at the lowest point of the previous countertrend.
This level was struck at 10.00 on 11 July and was 1.1042.
So our stop goes at 1.1042.
We are risking 40 pips.
The strategy is simple and aims for a risk-reward ratio of 1:2.
We are risking 40 pips, so we place a limit 80 pips higher at 1.1162.
This price is reached between 14.00 and 15.00 on 14 July, when the market hits a high of 1.1164.
Your limit is filled and you make a profit of 80 pips.
A second version of this strategy would try and run the profits even further.
In the second strategy, we do not set a limit.
Why don't we use a limit?
Because we want to run our profits for as long as we can.
We don't know how long the trend might persist and we don't know how high the market can go.
So we will not try to make a prediction by setting a price target.
But we do know that prices don't go straight up.
This means you have to allow the market to move adversely to some degree, to properly ride the trend.
This also means when the trend breaks down, you will have given back some of your unrealised profits before you close out.
Rather, than use a limit, we will place a stop at the low of the last 20 time periods.
We never move this stop further away:
...but if the 20-hour low is higher than our previous stop...
...we raise our stop to the 20-hour low.
Very broadly, this means our stop is trailing the trend.
The chart below shows that we would get stopped out using this strategy, when the price dips sharply at 16.00 on 15 July.
The 20-hour low that defined our stop, would at this point have been 1.1097.
We bought in at 1.1082 and are stopped out at 1.1097.
We make a profit of 15 pips.
This is less than we made with the first strategy, but aiming to run your profits in this way can yield high profits when a trend persists.
These occasions tend to be infrequent.
Want to know the good news?
In the long run:
...with the right risk management…
...the profits should outweigh the losses incurred from those times when the trend breaks down.
Our third swing trading strategy is more a countrending trade and therefore does the opposite of the first two.
We use the same principles of trying to spot relatively short-term trends building:
...but now try to profit from the frequency with which these trends tend to break down.
Remember that as noted earlier:
We also saw how an early part of a trend can be followed by a period of retracement, before the trend resumes.
A counter-trend trader would try to catch the swing in this period of reversion.
To do so, we would try to recognise the uptrend pattern.
Then when a fresh high was followed by a sequence of failures to break new highs - we go short in anticipation of such a reversion.
When counter-trending, it is very important to maintain strong discipline if the price moves against you.
If the market resumes its trend against you, you must be ready to admit you are wrong and draw a line under the trade.
All our strategies so far, are very simple.
They count on our ability to recognise and understand price action.
What can we do to improve our strategies?
Well, there are several things we can try.
The first is to try to match our trade, with the long-term trend.
Although we were looking at an hourly chart, it can help to also look at a longer term chart - to get a feel for the long-term trend.
Try and trade only when your direction matches what you see as the long-term trend.
Another way to improve your strategy, is to use a secondary technical indicator to confirm your thinking.
For example:
...if you are a counter-trender and thinking of selling…
...check the RSI and see if it signals the market as overbought.
A moving average (MA) is another indicator you could use to help.
An MA smooths out prices to give a clearer view of the trend.
And because an MA incorporates older price data, it's an easy way to compare how the current price compares to older prices.
The chart above shows the:
This is overlaid on the EUR/USD chart that we looked at earlier.
We can see that the quicker red MA line is above the slower green MA line, when we took our long position in the first two strategies.
A shorter MA being above a longer MA, is usually seen as a confirmation of an uptrend.
An MA is just one of the many powerful but simple-to-use indicators, available with MetaTrader 4 Supreme Edition.
We've looked at some entry and exit strategies for swing trading.
But it's important to note that a complete swing trading system, will also incorporate good money management and identify suitable markets.
Some other good practices are to:
Risk Warning
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 83% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Turkey has called Iran's outrage over its foreign minister's warnings that Tehran is seeking to establish Shiite states in Iraq and Syria "incomprehensible," as Ankara attempts to mend an alliance centered on fighting the Islamic State.
Iran summoned Turkey's ambassador on Monday after Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend and warned that Iran posed a threat to stability in the region. "Iran wants to make Syria and Iraq Shiite," Cavusoglu told the audience. "Turkey firmly opposes any division, whether religious or sectarian."
Iran's Foreign Minister, Bahram Qassemi, responded by warning Turkey not to "test Iran's patience." "We hope that such statements are not made again. If our Turkish friends continue with this attitude we will not remain silent," he added. Iran then summoned the Turkish ambassador. He also chastised Turkey for pursuing "immature dreams about rebuilding an empire" and "supporting terrorist groups," without specifying any groups in particular or providing evidence.
Little more than two months ago, Iran and Turkey appeared to be working on a cooperative agreement to help rid Syria of the Islamic State. After mending fences with Russia, Russian officials welcomed Turkey into the fold of an Iranian-Russian-Assad alliance, despite Erdogan's open admission that Turkey had sent troops into Syria to "end the rule of the tyrant Assad," not fight the Islamic State. While Turkish officials still appear satisfied with their cooperation with Russia, the relationship with Iran has worsened, suggesting little further cooperation in peace talks in Syria.
Turkey has historically been an ally of both the United States — as a fellow NATO member country — and Saudi Arabia, Iran's longtime regional rival. Erdogan completed a visit to Riyadh in mid-February where he reportedly discussed, among other things, the Syrian civil war.

The Large-scale Superconducting Feeder System Developed by ASIPP Completes the On-site Integration in GA
count: [2017-01-17]
Recently, the large-scale superconducting feeder system developed by ASIPP for General Atomics (GA) Fusion National Laboratory for its ITER central solenoid coil testing completed the on-site integration, passed the acceptance test and achieved 48.5kA steady state operation, symbolizing the delivery of the goods from ASIPP to GA.
The acceptance test of the superconducting feeder system is also the first integrated debugging and operation of the various subsystems required by US ITER CS coil 4K electrical performance test, including 50kA power system, 900W @ 4.5K cryogenic systems, high voltage isolation system and quench protection system. The system is complex, and the debugging is difficult. Through collaboration between the engineers of both sides, the completion of the test laid a solid foundation for the next CS coil cold test.
Test results show that: Feeder system low temperature < 5K; thermal shield temperature < 90K; the 40 K mass flow rate of nominal current operation is ~0.064 g/s/kA, superior to the ITER design requirement of 0.071 g/s/kA; all of the 4 joint resistance < 0.6nΩ, meet the design requirement of 2nΩ; the65 K HTS joint resistance < 6nΩ, better than the design requirement of 10nΩ.
The large superconducting feeder system was developed to test and control the whole process of coil operation. It provides the high-current, deep low temperature cold quality and control signals that the ITER center coil test requires, and it's also responsible for coil energy release and cryogenic system protection.
The system is 10.5 meters long and 4.5 meters high, weighing about 30 tons. It comprises a pair of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) current leads, a coil terminal box, and a superconducting transmission line system. The entire project involves multiple disciplines like mechanical, electromagnetic, monitoring and control, low temperature, vacuum and superconductivity. (Qingqing DU reports)

We stopped at this place Tuesday for a late lunch after walking the canals in another neighborhood. I had an open-face chicken sandwich: piece of grilled chicken on excellent bread covered in exquisite cheese then grilled. SO glad it's low fat. Yeah right!
I have yet to see any menu items labeled "heart healthy" or "low carb". I think that's completely contrary to the French approach, which is: highest quality ingredients, beautifully prepared to perfection for the palate. If that means the freshest vegetables, seafood and meats coupled with buttery sauces, real ham and bacon, and a healthy helping of cheese, so be it.
We know what that means healthwise, so either eat in moderation and walk a lot, or be prepared to find a caftan shop you like. Life's all about tradeoffs. :-)
Personally, I'm opting for the moderation and walking this week. When I'm back at my sedentary job, I'll post a list of my favorite Northwest caftan retailers. ;-)

DHAMALA HAKIMWALA, Pakistan (AP) — Troops trading heavy fire between Pakistan and Indian-controlled Kashmir have plunged civilians on both sides into grief with 18 villagers killed and dozens wounded this week, prompting many to question how two nations committed to a 2003 cease-fire could be targeting civilians while trading blame about who started shooting first.
Iram Shazadi was making breakfast for her family Monday when bullets started whizzing through her dusty Pakistani village of Dhamala Hakimwala — about half a kilometer (quarter mile) from the border with the Indian-administered portion of the disputed Himalayan region. A mortar shell fired by Indian border forces slammed into her home and killed her mother-in-law and two sons, aged 5 and 8.
"I lost my whole world," the injured 30-year-old said Wednesday at a military hospital in Sialkot. She sat crying next to her 6-year-old son, who narrowly escaped the blast.
On the Indian side, farmer Gulshan Kumar spent Tuesday night huddled with his family at home while mortars from Pakistan fell on his village of Chilyari.
"A shell landed in our neighbor's home, killing a 70-year-old woman and her 32-year-old daughter-in-law," Kumar told reporters.
The fighting over the past four nights marks the worst violation of the 2003 cease-fire accord brokered between India and Pakistan after several years of almost-day border battles, officials on both sides say.
While minor skirmishes have been somewhat common over the years, many were shocked that this week's fighting fell over the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha and left civilian casualties — nine in Pakistan and nine in India. The tally includes two women killed early Thursday after fresh fighting erupted overnight, according to Press Trust of India.
Tens of thousands of villagers have fled their homes on both sides since Sunday night, when the violence first erupted along the 200-kilometer (125-mile) border between Pakistan's Punjab province and the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.
That lower-altitude frontier, guarded by paramilitary border forces, is lined on both sides by agricultural fields and ancient villages that have been there long before Pakistan and India gained independence in 1947 and began wrangling over Kashmir — fighting two of three wars over their rival claims to the mountainous region.
"We have a very serious situation at hand right now," said Shantmanu, an Indian administrator in the area who uses one name.
Panicked villagers on both sides said they were desperate for peace.
"I have been seeing these clashes since my childhood," said 35-year-old Rehmat Bibi in Dhamala Hakimwala, where homes are now pockmarked by bullet holes and streets are largely deserted. "We are living in a state of fear."
The clashes come despite stated desires by both governments on improving ties. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he wanted to engage Pakistan and even invited its prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, to attend his inauguration in May. But relations remain hostile, and in August India canceled talks with Pakistan after its ambassador met with Kashmiri separatist leaders.
Analysts said the civilian tolls took this flare-up to a new level of seriousness.
"At the moment, both sides are digging their heels in, with no meeting of their army commanders scheduled," said defense analyst C. Uday Bhaskar of the New Delhi-based think tank, the Society for Policy Studies.
"We have a new government which wants to show that it means business," Bhaskar said. "The response has been more emphatic than what have we seen in the past five years. This is a matter of concern. Attacking civilians is becoming a new norm."
The U.N. Military Observers Group in India and Pakistan plans to visit the area, the Pakistani military said Tuesday after lodging a protest saying that Indian troops had fired first.
India has also accused Pakistan of starting this week's skirmishes, saying it wants to create a distraction to help separatist militants infiltrate into Indian-controlled Kashmir. Pakistan has repeatedly denied this, saying it gives only moral and diplomatic support to separatist groups who have been fighting since 1989 for Kashmir's independence or its merger with Pakistan.
"We fail to understand why the Indians are targeting Pakistani civilian populations," said Maj. Gen. Khan Javed Khan of the Pakistani paramilitary border force. Indian officials have made similar comments, accusing the Pakistanis of focusing on civilian settlements.
Modi said Wednesday that "everything will be fine soon" but did not elaborate, according to Indian broadcaster CNN-IBN. A top official in his office, however, suggested Indians were feeling "proud" of the forceful response.
"Usually the civilian population is not targeted in this manner," Jitendra Singh said. "Pakistan has taken too long to understand that there is a change in the government in India. They are getting to learn it in a hard way."
Indian-controlled Kashmir is due to hold elections before December, and Kashmir's status — divided between India and Pakistan, while being claimed by both — is a hot-button issue with voters in the mostly Muslim province.
Terrified villagers on both sides say they are fed up with the cycle of violence.
In the Indian village of Regal, four tractors pulled carts carrying dozens of people fleeing Wednesday morning.
"Yet again we are fleeing our homes, leaving behind everything," Darshano Devi said.
Meanwhile, newly married Pakistani villager Baila Mustafa lay wounded alongside her injured husband in Sialkot hospital.
"Please allow us to live with peace," she said.
Hussain reported from Srinagar. Associated Press Writers Munir Ahmed in Islamabad, and Ashok Sharma and Katy Daigle in New Delhi contributed to this report.

If you are looking for a bona fide Aloe Vera study you can trust, here are a few tips on how to find the best ones, and a few up-to-date papers that we have found in our searches.
Let's face it, there is a LOT of contradictory information out there on the internet about Aloe Vera and its benefits to our health, but how much of it can we trust? Our advice is to be a bit sceptical and delve deep into the information and where it comes from. We are not experts, but just regular people trying to find out as much as possible about a plant we love, so that we can use it safely.
Whenever we find any Aloe Vera research, the first thing we do is check out the author. Are they qualified? Do they have a good reputation? With which organisation are they affiliated? If they are from a university or medical research centre, that's reassuring.
If they have some monetary interest in selling Aloe Vera products, then a certain amount of caution is a good idea. After all, they want to show that their products are safe, so are likely to play down any negatives.
Science goes out of date fast, as technology gets better and better at analysing chemicals. It's also a good idea to read as many studies as possible on the subject, as it is more common than you think for two papers to come to the opposite conclusions.
The most reliable Aloe Vera Study you will find, will be one which reports research carried out by an independent organisation, and by a highly qualified academic.
The best trials are randomised controlled trials which compare the medication with a placebo. The best are ones with as large a number of participants as possible. A study with only 10 people in it doesn't tell you much. One with hundreds or even thousands of subjects is going to be much more credible.
We'd always be a little more confident in trusting a trial which was not funded by a company producing the drug or supplement - but maybe we're getting a little paranoid now?

Is Katie Couric's late husband Jay Monahan making ghostly 911 calls from beyond the grave?
The talk show host recently revealed that the NYPD have been receiving mysterious 911 calls from her late husband's phone. The calls always happen at 2 am, they always happen on Tuesday, and they always freak Katie out.
Couric said that the strange 911 calls have happened about a dozen times. Police can only hear static during the call but they were able to trace them back to Monahan's old land line phone in Couric's apartment.
"It's happened like three times the last three weeks … Every day, every time at 2 a.m. on Tuesday morning. I was out of town the last time it happened and apparently it happened before when nobody was home."
Couric said that patrol cars come to her house every time one of the strange calls are made in order to investigate. The talk show host eventually called police commissioner Ray Kelly to ask for help.
"So I called Ray Kelly, who I know just through the years seeing at different things. 'Ray, this is so weird but can you help me? I don't know what to do.' "
Kelly said that he'd be investigating the 911 calls. The NYPD believe that there is something wrong with Katie's phone or that she may be the victim of a prankster. Of course, there's also the possibility that Couric is being haunted.

Very Personable, knowledgeable, and thorough. I'm happy I found Dr. Kambi-Shamba and will be going back regularly!
I have been seeing Dumisani for nearly 20 years at LifeRx Global Medicine. He has been a miraculous healer and guide to me. I first came on a friend's advice after I had just had my first child. My system was way out of balance, I had overcome a drug addiction a few years prior, and I knew my body and my spirit was in desperate need of detoxing and rebalancing. Now that I had a child, becoming the best me I could be was priority.
Over the years Dumisani has treated me with acupuncture, Chinese medicine herbs, meditation, nutritional advice, soltice cleansing. He is so knowledgable and has an insight to what I need. It is so important to me that I can work with a practitioner who knows me so well and trusts his own insights to lead me to the next step I need to take me to my next level.
One of the first people I ran to after my first husband died tragically was Dumisani. It was one of the hardest times in my life. I had a young son to care for, very little strength, hope or faith in anything at that point. Dumisani worked with me weekly—slowly building me up and helping me release all the grief and phenomenal fear of such unknowns that were haunting me. I had spent time seeing Dumisani on a regular basis in the past 20 years as well as going for period of not seeing him.
He has always been present when I need his services. Here's a remarkable story, and it really is true. I was working at an office job at the time that I was very unhappy with. I kept thinking of dropping in to see Dumisani for a few months. I think I hadn't seen him in nearly a year. I couldn't find his new number and was very disappointed. So one particularly hard day, I felt painfully stuck. I was at work and went to the bathroom for some privacy—this was a packed office. I just sat there and prayed for something to help me out of this. An employee knocked on the door and said, "There's an important phone call for you." I quickly gathered myself and went to the phone. Dumisani was on the other end and he gave me that great calming laugh of his when I stuttered, "Wow I have been thinking of you so much. Couldn't find your number. How did you get this number?" I'll never forget him laughing as he said, "Oh Jennifer, you're so old fashioned. You're still relying on the phone. I heard you through the ethers,loud and clear." It seemed amazing and that is exactly my experience with Dumisani.
Recently he guided me to such a great meditative practice that has changed my relationship to myself so deeply. I am so grateful to him for sharing his skills and wisdom. I am now an actress and in that business staying grounded, open and knowing who you are is vital to the art as well as for my sanity and those around me. Dumisani is one of my greatest teachers. Thank you for all you are. Jennifer

Lorenzo Homar, Puerto Rican graphic designer
While in Puerto Rico, I went to see the Pablo Casals museum which is in a tiny building on the edge of Old San Juan. It's easy to walk through in a few minutes and only costs $1 to get in! It has a number of interesting artifacts related to the famous cellist including some beautiful photographs and several concert posters. It turns out, the posters are all designed by a famous Puerto Rican graphic designer, Lorenzo Homar. His typography, color, and bold graphics are really vibrant and are all really appropriate for the music they represent. These are the posters in the museum, the top one is a beautiful silk screen and the bottom two are HAND PAINTED. That's right, even the type.
You can see a lot more of Homar's excellent design work here.

OK, we are trying the experiment where we bring back the menus, only as photos instead of text. This will make uploading newer menus a bit easier, although there is still no guarantee I will get around to frequent updates of every chain. Here is the menu for Tommy's, found in the normal Tommy's restaurant page.
And, just for fun, here is a glorious shot of my most recent chili-cheese dog, no tomato.
Also, I have added a scan of the Togo's menu here. It is rare that I get over to Togo's, but there aren't any near me.
Let me know what you think of the new online menus!
First off, as you know, FastFoodSource is not a nutrition website. However, as fans of fast food, we do report on nutritional information from time to time, especially when an announcement like this one comes along.
By now you may have heard that, beginning this week, McDonald's restaurants across the USA will begin adding calorie information to their posted menus. You can read the actual press release here. Frankly, this is not news, as a lot of states have already begun mandating this information and I see it on menus more and more as I travel. What is interesting is the prospect that McDonald's will be able to drive an industry-wide change before every state gets to mandate the same rules. This way, McDonald's takes the lead, looks proactive, and all the other chains will likely have to follow. Shrewd move, McDonald's.
It will also be interesting to see what changes on the McMenu. In the press release they say "To make nutritious choices more convenient and accessible, McDonald's revealed plans today to test foods that would increase the number of wholesome choices on its menu." This is the area we here at FastFoodSource will be watching in the upcoming months. Will there be halfhearted nods toward nutrition like salads that, when loaded with fried chicken strips and heavy dressing could actually be less healthy than a burger? Or will there be more attempts at true diversification into the healthy food arena? They say the latter. According to the press release: "more seasonal fruit and vegetables options" and "additional produce side options and grilled chicken choices" among other steps.
The final question is, even if McDonald's makes these changes - will they stick with consumers? Will people snap up McWraps and cucumbers? I don't think people go to McDonald's for those things. But who knows? Only time will tell.
I just find this appropriate.
Check out the golden fried goodness of Culver's fried chicken:
Now, Culver's suffers from the same fate as all other restaurants selling fried chicken, that is one of availability. I received a drumstick and a breast, which is an odd combination of dark and white meat. But that is all they had ready and I can't complain, because at least they SELL fried chicken!
Back in January, I said we'd be phasing out the online menus here on Fast Food Source. This was largely due to the fact that it is a real pain for me to go around and capture all the menu information and then manually update it. Several readers have requested that we bring the menus back.
I was trying to think of a way to satisfy those requests while also making the update process a little less torture for me, and I think I have something that will work. When I go to a restaurant, I normally take pictures of the menus. Then, when I have some free time, I translate that information into text for display here on FastFoodSource.com. What if we simply display the menu images, like this?
Now, I understand the images might be hard to read, but I will do my best to put the cleanest pics up. Also, I've expanded the width of the images by 10% on the pages so they are easier to read. What you would see, then, is the usual menu page with a series of images of the latest menus that have been captured. I'll also post the date so we can keep track of the current ones.
Anyway, I'm thinking I will give this a go over the next few weeks and see if it works. But I welcome your thoughts.
Check out this crazy drive-thru situation at a McDonald's I visited recently. They were doing some construction to the drive-thru lane and had to route people out into the parking lot. They had this one young lady with a headset on relaying orders to someone inside at the register. The challenge of ordering was compounded by the fact that you could hardly see the menu off in the distance. You can sort of see the side of the menu against the wall beside the ladder.
Next, the fun really picks up as another lady comes up to your car, takes your money, runs back to the window, pays, gets the food and runs back with everything. God forbid you asking for anything extra after that!
Since 2000, Fast Food Source has been the premier independent site dedicated to fast food lovers, offering fast food restaurant menus, and nutrition information, as well as fast food blogs, articles, forums, and fast food industry news. We offer fast food location information for over 50 cities and more than 80 fast food chains.

Study Completion Date: 2013
Project Value: - the Strategy identified a number of key projects including; Engineering Centre, (new build) £8m
In challenging times for the Further Education sector, unlocking opportunities for investment in the estate requires an integrated approach between the College's needs, Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) priorities and estate strategy.
Like many in the sector, the College's estate included a diverse mix of accommodation, from the original buildings from the 1950s and '60s, large industrial units and more modern piecemeal development.
Key to our approach in developing the Strategy for the College was bringing together a number of distinct elements:
- Developing a robust space case based on both Guided Learning hours and register data. This identified an opportunity to reduce the estate by over 35% with corresponding running cost savings.
- Understanding the opportunities and constraints of the existing campus, in terms of potential reuse, redevelopment or disposal.
- Understanding how the College might work to support the key LEP priorities and local economic needs in order to unlock potential capital funding.
Following exploration and analysis of a range of options, the final solution offered the College a phased development strategy and campus masterplan. Whilst providing a clear direction and recommendation for the immediate actions, this strategy nevertheless retained the flexibility for the longer term; offering the College choices about the exact scope and extent of future phases that can be shaped to suit changing education, economic or funding priorities.
This robust long-term strategy was a key element in supporting a successful application for capital support under the SFA CCIF programme. Completed in 2015, this first phase of the strategy has seen the transformational refurbishment of a dated building into a striking new Engineering Centre that meets all the key priorities: improving space efficiency through the removal of around 6,500m2, improving the quality of the learner experience though the removal/refurbishment of category C and D accommodation and targeting the biggest growth area of skills demand.

Birth Of Joy signs with Glitterhouse Records
posted at 10/30/2017
Although influenced by 60/70's Psychedelica and Blues-Rock, you won't have the feeling being sucked into an old dusty Persian tapestry bought at your local thrift shop. Sure, there are psychotic jams, but with peppering their sound with a modern twist of Stoner, Grunge and Punk, the threesome instead creates a lip-smacking sound of their very own, described by Vive Le Rock (UK) as "triumphant". "An organ that howls so psychedelically we fear it may be harmful to those who make direct contact" says Classic Rock Magazine (UK).
We're very stoked to release the bands 5th studio album worldwide in February 2018! The release show will take place at Paradiso, Amsterdam on 02/16/2018 followed by extensive touring. Glitterhouse Records welcomes the amazing BIRTH OF JOY!

A Simple Recipe For Bacon Salt
Bacon salt you say? Indeed. Sounds like a really good idea doesn't it? I thought so. I saw this in the store the other day but it's filled with MSG and corn syrup to give it a bacon taste while remaining vegetarian and Kosher with a big K. I don't really have either concern so I'm going with simple REAL bacon salt. Like bacon and salt for ingredients.

Hi guys. Yesterday my Mum and I hopped on the train to London for the day, the priority was visiting the Pick Me Up exhibition at Somerset house. I visited last year with college and really enjoyed it so was desperate to visit again this year. The weather was as unpredictable as ever but overall it was a gorgeous day.
As I mentioned, the exhibition is held at Somerset house which is such a beautiful building. The Pick Me Up exhibition is a Graphics Arts Festival held for two weeks. It aims to feature upcoming artists and illustrators and also well established artists too. The exhibition ends in just a couple of days but if you're interested in any of the art then the website is amazing and full of information about all of the designers that exhibit their work there. The layout of the exhibits makes it so easy to wander around at your own leisure and visiting on a weekday meant there weren't LOADS of people.
There's not a whole lot to say about the series of photos that I'm sharing but I think they're going to inspire my work in the future so I hope you enjoy them.

Fall CSA Week 6 - Last Week!
Hey there CSA members!
Today was your last fall pick-up at the farmstand. :( That's the bad news.
The good news: There is still room for you to sign up for the Winter Boxed CSA that begins on Friday, October 20th!
Thank you to every one of you that has been supporting the farm through your purchase of a CSA share. It is so appreciated. You are certainly a big part of what makes our farm carry on!
And now onto this week's share!
Here's what you've got in that box:
- Mustard greens
- Pie pumpkin
- Shallots
- Potatoes
- Acorn squash
- Broccoli raab
- Cilantro
- Lettuce
Try a super simple Sauteed Broccoli Raab with Olive Oil and Garlic recipe. If you want to make it a meal, add some Spicy Italian Sausage. Broccoli raab and an added "heat" go perfectly together!
Give this Silky Coconut Pumpkin Soup a shot later this week as the temperatures cool off a bit! Add in the shallots, cubed pumpkin and cilantro in your share.
Here are some good ideas for recipes that you can make with the mustard greens in your share. Alternatively you can create a hearty salad using the mustard greens combined with some lettuce and adding in some wheatberries from the stand.
Warm Potato and Acorn Squash Salad can be a classic fall side dish or even more of a main dish if you want. Let us know what you think of it!
One more time because we really, really mean it...THANK YOU!!!
Enjoy your last box of the fall CSA!
And if you haven't already, take a second to fill out our quick survey about some offerings that we are hoping to have at the farm this fall and winter. :)
Thanks, all!

Fieldwork results
Project meetings
Fieldwork report South Africa, November-December 2006
South Africa has about 80 so called independent Islamic schools. These are private faith schools which are accredited by the state but receive only a small subsidy from the government. They almost entirely rely on school fees and donations to meet their financial demands. Because of these circumstances most of these schools are elite institutions where parents pay high fees and this inadvertently limits attendance to pupils from middle and upper class families.
Islamic schools have a long history in South Africa dating back to the 1920-1940s when many so called "Muslim Missonary Schools" were founded by the Muslim community. Most of them became so called state-aided schools and had the same status as the Christian Missionary Schools which were funded by the government.
When the democratic government was elected in 1994, the former state aided schools had to choose whether they became state schools or whether they wanted to be independent. Most of the Islamic schools opted for the latter status with the result that they had to raise their own funds and introduce high school fees.
All Islamic independent schools follow the secular curriculum for public schools. In 1997 the Education Department introduced a new education policy which is called OBE (Outcome Based Education). This policy is aimed at promoting democratic citizenship education and allows for a flexible and open curriculum: no particular textbooks are prescribed and it is up to the individual teacher or school how to teach certain subjects. This policy does favour independent schools since it gives them the freedom and flexibility to teach according to their values and particular ethos.
Together with the state curriculum, Islamic schools offer Islamic Studies and Arabic. While the latter is acknowledged as an official subject the former is voluntary.
Interviews with principals, teachers and pupils of various Muslim schools show that the problems faced by Islamic schools are manifold: Since the institutions are independent they often struggle to meet the financial demands and have difficulties to find sponsors. Furthermore, many schools face problems with regard to management. There are often conflicts between the so called "Board of Trustees" which consists of the founders and the sponsors of the school who have a specific vision for the institution and the principal who has t#o manage the day-to-day affairs. Tensions also often arise over curriculum and teaching practice between the religious teachers and the teachers who have a secular education. While the former are often representing a particular religious school of thought which is conservative, such as the Deobandi, the latter are more open to modern teaching methods and liberal world views. Regarding the implementation of the national curriculum, many Islamic schools find it difficult to teach sex education and HIV-AIDS education, physical education for girls and the theory of evolution which, according to them, violates against Islamic values and beliefs. Lastly, Islamic schools often struggle with discipline problems regarding the pupils. Not all learners accept the Islamic code of conduct of the school. Often the Islamic rules at school do not correspond with the attitudes and life styles of the learner's parents leading to a dichotomy of what they learn and observe at school and what they experience at home.
School profile: Islamia College, Cape Town
One of the Islamic independent schools which are included in the empirical study is Islamia College in Cape Town. The school was established in 1984, at a time when the resistance to the apartheid system was at a peak and teachers and pupils nationwide were organising school boycotts and education was practically not happening. The reasons for founding the school were mainly practical: to secure excellent education for Muslim children in an Islamic environment. The idea was to provide Muslim children with an education based on Islamic norms and values and to protect them from influences within the wider society which were regarded to be immoral. Furthermore, an Islamic school allowed the children to be educated at a school were they were not discriminated against because of their beliefs and where they were part of a larger community.
Today the school has over 1000 pupils and 70 teachers and, in terms of standard and Matric results, it is regarded to be among the best schools in the city. It has a Primary School and two High Schools (one for boys and one for girls) and its own mosque where pupils and teachers pray together. The school offers the national curriculum and, additionally, Islamic Studies and Arabic. Islamia College follows a holistic approach of Islamic education stating that among its objectives is to instil in pupils "a consciousness of Allah as the source of intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical growth". Like most Islamic schools, Islamia College pursues the ideal of "Islamisation of knowledge" by bringing religion into secular subjects. However, this seems to be a difficult undertaking. According to the founder of the school, Maulana Ali Adam, Islamia College has not yet achieved its goal to introduce Islam into secular subjects. Until now it is still up to the individual teacher to link certain topics of secular subjects to religious text from the Koran and the Sunna.
To improve the quality of teaching and realise its goal to "islamise" the secular curriculum, Islamia College has joined an international research organisation called International Board of Educational Research and Resources (IBERR). The London based organisation is supporting Islamic schools mainly in England, South Africa and USA with school management, staff development and curriculum research. Since Maulana Ali Adam is one of the trustees of IBERR, a large part of the research and the publication of material is taking place in South Africa.
Locally, the school is well-integrated with the community, taking part in inter-school sports events and competitions, community activities and organising regular open days, a Children's day and food parcels which are given to the poor and needy during Ramadan.

text: Hello everyone, I hope you're ready for another journey thread, because this is going to be another one. And even if you aren't, I hope that you'll at least pop in here, see what I'm doing wrong, and at least have the decency to tell me about it haha. Anyway, I spent a lot of time the last day or so reading through http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...complete-noobs-journey-world-mns-adsense.html that thread. It really helped to kickstart my attitude when it came to making some money, and it has been one of the most invaluable reading tools I've come across so far in sparking that little fire inside me to go ahead and try it out. If I had the money, I'd donate to that guy just for the invaluable information and guidance he's offered from that thread alone. MNS websites seem to be getting a pretty crappy rap lately throughout the forums, but honestly, they're websites. If you offer good information relevant to your readers, I don't see how Google could hate you for it. So anyway. I plan to outline every single service I have used or plan to use in this thread with links to those services as well. I will update this first post with all of those links so that nobody has to search throughout the thread to find them. I will not begin my journey in this first post, however I just want to announce my intent and provide the links to the resources I will be using. If I add any new MNS websites to my journey, I will create a new post with all of the details (except the critical details, of course, which I'm sure you'll understand). I will try and make one major update every couple of days as I see progress happening, but don't expect that I've abandoned the project all together if I don't post a major update for awhile. I have a pretty busy life as it is, and it's gotten a lot busier lately with me and my wife going to see a fertility specialist, which the worst part of that is we have to travel out of town to do it. The appointments aren't cheap either. So, needless to say, my budget for these MNS sites will be EXTREMELY limited, and will have the added fuel to succeed with the cost of our doctor visits coming up, because the extra money will DEFINITELY come in handy! What you can gather from that is, I'll be approaching this project in a very slow, but hopefully steady pace, from a complete newbie's perspective, since SEO optimization and MNS websites are all brand new to me. I've been in the IM world for a number of years, but have never actually pushed anything SEO/MNS related, so I've never really done much in the way of keyword research or competition scouting. This is going to be a journey not only for me, but for all of you to read as well. I'm not doing this to get people to thank and rep me over and over. I'm mainly doing this to keep track of my progress and to provide and obtain valuable feedback where appropriate. I know it was a great motivation piece for dealsopoly, and I can only hope that I'll have the same motivation from my thread. How are my websites setup? I plan to use Wordpress for ALL of my MNS websites. I will also be using the following plugins: - All in One SEO Pack - Contact Form 7 - Google XML Sitemaps The theme I am using is the ProSense theme, which can be found here: http://thewrongadvices.com/2007/05/18/prosense-an-adsense-ready-seo-wordpress-theme/ I modified the theme tremendously so that the pixels line up right. I'm a huge stickler when it comes to website's presentation (I've been a web designer and PHP programmer for over 8 years now) so I have a keen eye when it comes to trying to improve Wordpress themes or make them look just right. So I guess you can say the theme I am using is a modified version of the ProSense theme, but it's ProSense regardless. I will also be setting up my Wordpress sites like this: - Three static pages (one for my main keyword and one for two secondary keywords) - The static pages all have an article on them with at least 500 words with a keyword density of at least 1% (meaning the keyword mentioned at least 5 times) - An About page, a Contact Us page, a Blog page and a Privacy Policy page - 7 static pages in total - The Wordpress site is setup so that the very first page is a static page, which is my main keyword - The blog page will be a list of all regular "Posts," which will centered around all of my keywords at once as well as provide some "filler" articles - All of my content is 100% unique, either written by myself or bought (more info on that in the section below) So, without making this post any longer than it needs to be, here are the services I will be using for this project as well as the prices and a short little "nickname" next to each one so that I don't have to spell it all out in detail when making new posts.

I will also be sure to keep track of which packages above I used for each website so that you can all be sure you know exactly what I've done to each website and when I did it. So anyway. I guess that's about it for now. This post has been extremely long and quite frankly, may be TL;DR for most of you. If that's the case, I don't blame you. BUT, for those of you wanting to follow my journey, I wanted to make sure you all had the information at hand for everything I am doing or plan to do. See you in the next post!

Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban was released from a hospital Friday after sustaining a neck injury against the Buffalo Sabres.
Coach Michel Therrien said Subban will undergo treatment and won't be available for the game against Minnesota on Saturday, ending his streak of 273 consecutive regular-season games.
Subban was taken off the ice on a stretcher near the end of the third period after falling and being struck in the head by teammate Alexei Emelin, who accidentally ran into him.
Subban grabbed the back of his head as trainers tended to him, but looked to be alert when he was carted off.
The team announced on its Twitter account Friday that Subban was released from Montreal General Hospital late Thursday night. The team described it as a "non-serious neck injury."
Subban took to Twitter to reassure supporters he was doing OK.
"Feeling good, and feeling the love. Thanks for all the support!!," Subban wrote.
He owned the team's longest active streak, not missing a game since Jan. 30, 2013.
Therrien said a defenseman and a forward would be recalled from the St. John's IceCaps of the AHL on Friday to fill out his injury-riddled roster.

THE ELECTRICIAN'S GREEN HANDBOOK is written for students with an interest in the inner workings of alternative energy systems. This book is written by an electrician about electrical systems for electricians, maintenance personnel and students who are looking to expand their knowledge in alterative energy systems. Real world state of the art components are used in this book, complete with details and product specifications. Alternative energy systems discussed include Solar, Wind, Hydrogen and Battery Backup Systems. Unlike most other books written on the subject, THE ELECTRICIAN'S GREEN HANDBOOK, will provide your students with an understanding of these systems from an installation and maintenance point of view. Discussed in detail are the circuit configurations of stand-alone inverters, string inverters, central inverters, micro-inverters and rectifiers, the key components of any alternative energy installation used today. The National Electrical Code (NEC) 2011 is used throughout the text and systems are taken apart and the NEC 2011 is examined for each part of the systems. Monitoring the output of alternative energy systems is not only required for maximum efficiency, it is essential. This book covers the components, systems and topologies for monitoring the system functions and performance and is a must for the journeyman electrician and electrical students of all levels.

What's in your barn? Old dairy barn at Brookside Farm gets (and gives) another life
LANESBOROUGH — The Garritys know about giving something — in this case, a Lanesborough farm and its centuries-old barn — another life.
The late Charles Garrity Sr. bought Brookside Farm in 1936. His grandson, Charles "Butch" Garrity, has since looked into the farm's history at the Berkshire Athenaeum in Pittsfield.
"Way back in, like, [the] 1800s, it was a boarding house and a farm," said Butch, who is also Lanesborough's deputy fire chief. There used to be 20 boarding rooms attached to the white farmhouse, and teachers from New York City would ride the train to Pittsfield in June and catch a horse and carriage to Brookside Farm, where they would relax and rest up between school terms.
By the time Butch's grandfather bought the farmhouse, the barn and the 118-acre property, all for $5,000, things were in disrepair. But no matter: Brookside Farm got a new life with the Garrity family. They started out with about 30 milking cows, and in 1960, the year after Charles Garrity Sr. died, his son and Butch's father, Charles "Brud" Garrity, built a long, low attachment onto the old barn.
"My father said, 'Well, if I'm going to do this full time, I'm going to need to expand,'" Butch said.
The Garritys doubled their herd size to about 65, and that's the farm Butch worked on for the better part of three decades. Aside from a four-year stint in the U.S. Navy and two years at an agricultural college, he was in that tall red barn each day, milking and otherwise caring for the cows.
"Everyone in the family worked on the farm — that's how it was," Butch said. "I had my whole life designed at 16, and everything was going good."
Then, at 35, he said he starting noticing some things, like how his friends had two days off a week while he hadn't had one off in three years, and that, even with all that hard work, Brookside Farm was spending more than it was making.
"The price of milk was just so low, we were losing money every month," Butch said.
By 1994, they had to stop operations. Shortly after, Butch and his father, Brud, removed the old milking stanchions from the barn and put in 12 box stalls. This transformation made way for the barn's next inhabitants: horses.
On Feb. 24, Butch walked past those stalls to a paddock gate. Several horse noses nudged him in welcome. While horses have lived at Brookside Farm for years, Butch said he and his wife, Anne, took on oversight of them in the past year. They live just down the road at Echo Farm, but Anne has four of her own horses at Brookside. She also cares for the other six horses boarded there.
"It's her life," Butch said of his wife. Anne's enthusiasm for animals, he said, encourages others to keep their horses at the farm, too.
The Garritys have given several rescue horses another chance in their big red barn. Last week, Butch pointed out a chestnut horse in a green blanket named Salvador from the paddock fence. He said when his wife found him, Salvador was emaciated to the extreme.
"Now, he's almost fat," Butch said. Salvador stood next to another horse, a palomino named Phoenix, who was "literally on the trailer to go to the slaughter house" when the Garritys bought her.
In another paddock on the other end of the Brookside Farm barn, a few miniature horses milled around on the muddy ground. Butch said some of them were rescued, too, including one named Dandelion and her mother, Violet.
"My wife goes in themes," Butch said, chuckling. At Echo Farm, he added, "the goats have a 'Hunger Games' theme."
The Garritys have alpacas too. One in particular likes to carry a few pieces of hay around in her mouth all day.
"It's ridiculous," Butch said.
He and his wife added the alpacas to Brookside Farm last year, and eventually, they might want to shear them for wool. For now, though, they're still getting used to running the farm, where they not only care for the animals but also hay the fields. As for the barn, Butch said his family has continued to maintain the beams and the rest of the sturdy structure.
"I think it will stand forever," he said. As for this particular period in the barn's life, Butch said he and his wife are still getting used to it.
"We're kind of in the regrowth phase, if you will," he said. There's regrowth, and there's also something like a return to the rest and relaxation those 19th-century New York City teachers sought in Lanesborough. On a fine summer day when the grass is green and as the sun lowers toward evening, Butch said the horses like to stand up on the ridge.
"You can just sit there and watch," Butch sighed. "It kind of takes your breath away."

I made this pair of 70 carat green amethyst (prasiolite) earrings for a client. The gems are among the best that I have seen for this type of stone.
I used a thick gold setting to match the large size of the earrings. The earrings are just under 2 inches long.
Angelina Jolie wore a similar set in emerald to the Oscars.
