text: I have incredibly sensitive skin and, over the years, have tried a number of organic face creams. Every once in a while, I have an allergic reaction to one of the organic ingredients in the creams despite them being organic. I now also look for the hypoallergenic label and unscented products. Every once in a while, I still get an allergic reaction – particularly if I use the cream for a long period of time – but the reactions are more rare. That being said, WebMD has a good article discussing that the term "hypoallergenic" is not federally regulated in the U.S.

A Message to GOP Narrative Operatives: You're Entering a World of Pain
Dear GOP Narrative Operatives,
Here's a clue. Your latest attempts to build on the failed narrative from the last campaign that Obama is soft on terrorism is fraught with danger. I know it is tempting and nearly a tourette's like tic with you guys, but you must know that you are entering a world of pain with this one. A world of pain.
Let's imagine for a minute that you even have ground to stand on. We'll act as if your current criticism for delays in White House comment on the Detroit crotch bomber aren't met by a 6 day delay by Bush commenting on Richard Reid. Reid's failed shoe bombing happened on December 21, 2001 – just 3 short months after 9/11. Bush commented on the incident on December 28. A full week later. He thanked the stewardess and said it proved we were all on high alert. Then Attorney General John Ashcroft commented that intelligence agencies were sharing information with the American people in order to "enlist our assistance". I'm sure this instilled a great amount of confidence and a warm secure feeling among the American People.
Let's also pretend your Obama bashing for taking a vacation doesn't immediately remind people that George W. Bush was on vacation for the entire month of August in 2001 as dire warnings were coming in that al-Qaida was "determined to strike in the U.S." and Zacarias Moussaoui was learning how to fly a jumbo jet.
Again, Bush took a solid month off tying Richard Nixon for the longest Presidential vacation. Yet some wingnuts want to holler about too much golf and such nonsense. We'll just act like this month long vacation while dire warnings of an imminent attack came in never happened. Guess what Bush was doing the day after the PDB entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US" was published?
Tip: If you are reading the "right-leaning" blogs in Ohio, stop. You won't get any meaningful narratives that will stick. You'll get a zinger or two here or there, but they are usually destroyed at will by us on the left. We've done it so much and with so much effectiveness we've begun to bore with it. Hell, we've even stopped reading them for the most part. It's too easy.
Let's also dismiss the entire notion of fixing the problem with intelligence agencies sharing data so that they might thwart future attacks. In a speech in February of 2003, then President Bush pledged to make information sharing an important tool in the "war on terror". It wasn't until 2007 that the Bush Administration published The National Strategy for Information Sharing. So much for a sense of urgency.
It all begs the question, really. How will you create a narrative about being soft on terrorism when your record shows you've been as ineffective over the course of two Presidential terms as you might claim this President has been in a quarter of one? Despite, mind you, the lack of a major attack on the country which you so proudly proclaim is your record of success.
Whose fault might it be that agencies don't share data well enough to prevent a crotch bomber from getting on a plane bound for Detroit? Didn't you have this fixed in the time between 2001 and 2008? It was obvious Republicans were working on this for years…or were they? I'll stipulate they may have been a bit distracted by a war being waged on trumped up evidence in a country not related whatever to the current threat. A war which was spinning out of control and leading to unprecedented electoral defeat for the GOP. We'll mark this down as duly noted.
So go for it. Bring on the soft on terrorism charges. They'll be like political boomerangs on fire. They'll revisit you and torch your narrative like a rich banker's son's nuts.
Go right ahead. Enter a world of pain if you must. Go down the road of reminding the American people how it is that the party in power during the most catastrophic attack on American soil is somehow able to now point the finger at the other party's President and proclaim "soft on terror".
Go there. Please.
perfect. i will have more to say along these lines, for some time.
thanks, here's a start………………….
9/11 happened on whose watch? Who failed the American People?
Who let AlQ reconstitute while we were fighting in Iraq?
Why did they take their eyes off the ball in Afganistan? Who took their eyes off the ball in Afgan?
Who let two AlQ opperatives go in order to start a cell in Yemen?
Where was bush when the shoe bomber was captured?
Who said mission accomplished?
What was the real rationale for the "war" with Iraq?
Who used terror and fear to shove thru increasing police powers?

Been trying to figure out how to do a simple split on a string match but looks like Regex is the only way to do this as it's not part of a the Str class. Can't seem to figure out the syntax of that and no examples on using the Regex seem to be available. Can somebody provide me with some basic examples using the Regex? Mainly I want to be able to replicate Java string.split(String regex) method.
Java's String.split() methods calls Pattern.split()
Fantom's Regex.split() method also calls Pattern.split() so taking Java's example, you should be able to use it like this:
":".toRegex.split("boo:and:foo") // --> [boo, and, foo] "o".toRegex.split("boo:and:foo") // --> [b, , :and:f]
If you just want to try out some Fantom regex's then you can use the Fantex Website; it's a handy utility to test regular expression groupings and see generated Fantom code

Give Me Packets!!! Case Study: Slow Oracle DB (by Mike Canney)
September 08, 2017
There are a number of tools on the market that claim to allow you to analyze Data Bases. I have many customers that own these tools and sometimes they work great. Especially if it's what I call a "Low Hanging Fruit" problem, such as a slow SQL call like a SELECT or INSERT etc.
What happens when it's not so obvious? This is where deep packet analysis is needed. In the following case study we will look at a chronic problem that far too many of my customers experience and how to quickly resolve that issue. This particular problem was lasting for months. More memory was added, servers upgraded, content switches added/upgraded yet the problem still persisted.
Let's take a look:
Mike Canney specializes in providing application and network performance consulting services.
Overthe past 26 years Mike has helped 1,000's of companies identify and resolve their application and network performance issues. Mike has also developed coursework and taught engineers how to identify, re-mediate, and prevent network and application issues by analyzing traffic flows at the packet level.
Mike has been a guest speaker at many industry trade shows (such as Interop, Wireshark "Sharkfest" and Cisco Live) throughout the United States on the topic of application performance analysis.

(Sydney, Australia) Monday May 15, 2017 – A multi-award-winning Sydney developer is set to unveil its latest project at a star-studded red-carpet affair expected to attract more than 1800 people on Wednesday.
The latest residential project from Australian developer Crown Group, the $400-million Waterfall by Crown Group will be unveiled at the Royal Hall of Industries, Moore Park, Sydney on Wednesday May 17 from 6.30pm.
The evening will be a celebration of innovation and design and is expected to draw more than 1800 VIP guests including City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore, Prince of Malaysia HRH Tunku Naquiyuddin,
Crown Group Chairman and Group CEO Iwan Sunito, Crown Group CEO Paul Sathio and supermodel Paula Verhoeven.
The Waterfall by Crown Group Unveiling is proudly sponsored by Platinum sponsors Building Management Australia, Ceronne Jewellers, Dial a Dump Industries, Pacific Building Management Group; Gold sponsors Moët & Chandon, Caroma, van der Meer, Sydney Plaster, SYNC by Hickory, JAG Plumbing, Micos Group, Formtec Group; and Silver sponsors C&M Consulting Engineers, Donnelley Simpson Cleary Consulting Engineers, The Havencab Group, Rohy's Painting, JP&MC Tiling, G&S Maroun, Powcom, Erect Safe Scaffolding, ColorTile Projects, Metromix, MOITS and All Seasons Waterproofing.
Guests will be treated to the first glimpses of the model of the unique 331-apartment development coupled with exclusive content providing an insight into the project.
Set to revolutionize the use of green space in Australian residential developments, the four-tower residential development will feature Australia's tallest man-made waterfall.
Crown Group Chairman and Group CEO Iwan Sunito said the event would be unlike any other event in the industry.
"We've gathered the best of the best from across the property, design and architecture worlds alongside our VIP and celebrity guests, to join us for the unveiling of Waterfall by Crown Group," Mr Sunito said.
"After much-anticipation we are pleased to share our vision to create a building which will revolutionize the use of green space in residential developments," he said.
Designed by Sydney-based architects SJB, Waterfall by Crown Group will comprise three seven-storey buildings and an iconic 20-storey sculptural tower overlooking lush, tropical landscaping and a beautiful water garden. Public art is a key element of Waterfall: Mika Utzon Popov, grandson of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon, is creating a large-scale artwork integrated in the design.
"The evening will be a unique celebration of innovation and design; a reflection of our continued push to go beyond the traditional boundaries of design to meet the needs of the future," Mr Sunito added.
Waterfall by Crown Group offers a collection of luxury apartments including studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, courtyard apartments and double-storey penthouses. The interiors offer fresh, natural modern luxury, utilising stone, timber and subtle hues.
Natural luxury resonates through the communal spaces as well, including a tranquil, ground-level water garden, a recreational deck, an Infinity rooftop pool with a sky garden and terrace, and a secluded bamboo-covered walkway. Residents will also enjoy a state-of-the-art cantilevered gym, a rooftop garden, a rooftop cinema, function room with a catering kitchen, music room, and onsite retail.
In 2015, Crown Group attracted more than 1500 guests to the red-carpet unveiling of its Green Square project, Infinity by Crown Group, an event which set a new benchmark in the property industry.
The construction of Waterfall by Crown Group is scheduled for completion in 2020. Waterfall by Crown Group's luxury apartments will be released for sale at a grand launch on June 17, 2017.
A selection of apartments will be available for sale starting from $620 000. Crown Group is now accepting registrations of interest at www.waterfallbycrowngroup.com.au.

It's a little later than normal, but San Joaquin County's summer tomato harvest is finally in full swing.
It's a little later than normal, but San Joaquin County's summer tomato harvest is finally in full swing.
Ace Tomato Co. in Manteca is running its packing operation 9 to 11 hours a day, six days a week.
"So were going pretty furiously," general manager Dean Janssen said last week.
The pace is set by nature. As fields ripen, they must be harvested.
And as tomatoes for the fresh market must be picked by hand, that can require hundreds of workers in a field at once.
"Last week was a really big week. This will be a bigger week and so will next week," Janssen said. "This is the time we have to put tomatoes into the box."
Cool spring weather, including late rains, as well as the unusually mild summer temperatures did set back the crop.
Typically, Janssen said, he expects to begin harvests in this area around June 20, but this year the picking didn't start until July 13.
Besides delaying the harvest, the weather and particularly late rains did foster some disease problems for growers.
Still, Janssen said, "The quality for the most part has been good. We had a couple of blocks that were a variety we haven't grown a lot of that was almost too big."
And one benefit of the cool temperatures over the past three to four weeks has been very little sun damage in the tomato fields.
Fresh market tomatoes are a very valuable crop in San Joaquin County, said Scott Hudson, agricultural commissioner.
"It is a significant part of our tomato industry, which is among the top 10 crops in the county," he said.
While processing tomatoes, typically smaller, pear-shaped varieties harvested by machine and sent to canneries to go into spaghetti sauce, tomato paste and salsa, account for the largest share of acreage and tonnage in San Joaquin County, fresh market tomatoes fetch a higher price.
Last year according to the commissioner's estimates, that difference was an average $476 per ton for fresh market versus $82 a ton for processing tomatoes. That meant fresh market tomatoes accounted for more than 40 percent of the county's total $201 million tomato harvest.
"Packed tomatoes, or fresh market tomatoes, can be very profitable, provided that market conditions are good at the time the tomatoes ripen and that weather conditions cooperate," Hudson said.
It's been an up and down year for fresh market growers so far, Janssen said.
Spring frosts in Florida destroyed much of that state's crop, slashing tomato supplies and sending prices soaring. But Florida growing areas later recovered and, with other areas of the country beginning to produce, a flood of fruit hit the market and prices collapsed earlier this summer.
That downswing is now starting to ease.
"The market the last couple of weeks has firmed up a little bit," Janssen said. "The signs are we should have a fairly stable situation from here on out."
He's hoping to see that extend for the next couple of months or so.
The key for California growers is September and October, when there is little competition from other growing regions.
"Hopefully, we have good steady weather from here on out," Janssen said. "We don't need any rain until November."

Hello, cutie!
New mom Whitney Port posted a precious photo of son Sonny, 7 weeks, via Instagram Sunday.
"MY BOY #nofilter#sevenweeks #wheredoesthetimego," she captioned the image.
The Hills alum, 32, recently got candid about her struggles with nursing her newborn.
"I'm not obsessed with breastfeeding. There. I said it," she admitted.
She added: "Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that my baby is getting all the amazing nutrients from my milk and that I am literally giving him life, but it has been quite the challenge. A challenge I didn't feel prepared for at all. In this Chapter of I Love My Baby But… I discuss my trying journey through breastfeeding. I have gained so much confidence just through the support you guys have given me, so if any of this rings true or you have any tips, I am all ears. We mothers have to be there for each other. I sincerely believe this community is what has given me the confidence to feel I am not doing anything wrong. Yes, there are times the opinions and judgements of other seep in, but then I remember I have you guys and it makes all the difference. I am really looking forward to reading all the comments and tips this week. I need them more than ever. Click the link in bio to watch full video. XOXO."
In a YouTube video, Port shared more in a clip titled, "I love by baby, but…I haven't loved breastfeeding that much."
The former reality star and husband Tim Rosenman welcomed their firstborn — full name Sonny Sanford Rosenman — on July 27, she announced on social media.

OAKDALE, Penn. (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took a trip to a Pennsylvania community college on Wednesday to promote a plan to train workers for skills they need for hard-to-fill jobs.
For security reasons, Obama and Biden flew in separate planes for the event in this suburb of Pittsburgh but rode in the same limousine from the airport and appeared together at the Community College of Allegheny County.
With the visit, they put a renewed emphasis on the U.S. economy after the Obama administration last week met the early enrollment benchmarks for Obama's healthcare law months after the disastrous rollout of Healthcare.Gov.
Obama told an audience that some jobs lost to overseas competition in recent decades are coming back to the United States but that they are sometimes hard to fill because workers lack the skills.
He announced a plan to use $500 million in existing Labor Department funds to pay for a competition to spur employers and community colleges to work together and develop training programs that are designed to get workers prepared for specific jobs.
Another $100 million will be drawn from a Labor Department fund to support programs aimed at training apprentices in new fields with fast-growing occupations such as information technology, healthcare and advanced manufacturing.
"In today's economy it has never been more important to make sure that our folks are trained for the jobs that are there and for the jobs in the future," Obama said.
Obama, who travels to Asia next week, and Biden, who leaves on Sunday for Ukraine, appeared to be enjoying their time together out of Washington.
During a classroom tour of a "mechatronics" exhibit featuring machinery and electronics, when a machine whirred to life, Obama told Biden: "Joe, don't put your fingers in there."
"I'm proud to introduce a buddy of mine," Biden said in introducing Obama to the crowd.
"Joe and I decided it was time for a guys' trip," said Obama.
He said that before the trip he had no idea there existed a discipline known as "mechatronics" and that it "sounds like something that Godzilla would be fighting."
Training and retraining workers for job skills has been a problem that has bedeviled various presidents.
In the current economy, for example, many people lack the skills to become software developers or computer programmers, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates American companies will need 522,000 people with these skills in the next decade.
In addition, there will be a need for 110,000 pharmacists, 224,000 electricians and 941,000 customer service representatives, as well as people trained as welders, machinists, dental hygienists and even electrical power line installers.
Administration officials who briefed reporters about the initiative said the aim is to address the needs of a fast-changing economy.
"The pace of change - technology, globalization - has changed the nature of work and the speed at which necessary skills change," said a senior Obama administration official.
The plan is part of an effort launched in Obama's State of the Union speech in January to act with his own presidential authority in the absence of a consensus from a divided Congress.
While the economy has rebounded since bottoming out early in Obama's first term, many Americans remain unemployed or underemployed, and Obama has made it a priority of his second term to help the middle class and reduce income inequality.
Congressional Republicans believe they have the right antidote for the problem, and wish Obama and the Democrats would consider their proposals.
A legislative proposal called the SKILLS act, passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, would eliminate and streamline 35 programs and create a Workforce Investment Fund to serve as a single source of support for workers, employers and job seekers.
"Republicans have passed numerous pro-jobs bills - like the SKILLS Act - yet President Obama and the Democrats who control the Senate have done nothing to advance this legislation," said Jahan Wilcox, spokesman for the Republican National Committee.

Microsoft bulks up Azure to make it easier to build, expand cloud services
Microsoft is making it simpler for business applications in its Azure cloud to automatically turn services up and down as demand requires and for apps to incorporate features of Office 365, company executives told the Build 2013 developer conference.
The company announced that a preview is available of its Azure Auto Scale capability, which lets applications increase and decrease cloud services as needed. So if CPU use of a particular virtual server in Azure hit a threshold, the app could call for another virtual machine.
Similarly, a feature called Cloud Service Auto Scale enables apps to call for more resources to improve response time. If a business had an online sales app and there were a spike in traffic that caused the queue to exceed a threshold, the app could call for another server. The queues would be shorter and customers would be served faster.
The company also announced that Azure Active Directory services can be synced with on-premises Active Directory servers so users can sign in once to reach both on-premises and Azure-based applications.
Microsoft is taking this one step further and giving apps the ability to register with Active Directory so users can be given access to the app without having to sign into a separate user account associated with the application.
This feature can save considerable time vs. the alternative of creating separate, individual user accounts for each end user in the app itself and requiring users to sign into the application separately. If an app defines different roles for users, authorization for those roles can also be set in Azure Active Directory and synced with Active Directory o- premises. So via Active Directory alone an admin can parcel out roles to end users.
The same single sign-in can be extended to software as a service. An independent software developer could base software as a service app in Azure and customers could sync the relevant portions of Active Directory to the SaaS vendor's Active Directory and assign customers' employees appropriate roles.
From a security standpoint, if an employee's rights to use an app are revoked, removing authorization from Active Directory will cut them from enterprise based apps as well as SaaS apps based in Azure, Microsoft says. This SaaS identity management is coming soon, Microsoft says.
SaaS vendors will also be able to tap their customers' policies in order to extend the functionality of their applications. The hypothetical example Microsoft used was a reservation app for an airlines through which customers could book plane flights. If one tried to book a first-class flight, the app could check via Microsoft's BizTalk business-process automation platform whether that was authorized under corporate policies. If not, the app could display a message saying the first-class ticket was denied and requires authorization of a supervisor.

Just Keeping Up!
As a mom of 3 little ones I struggle sometimes just keeping up with the day to day tasks of running my home. Add homeschooling on top of everything else and it is overwhelming sometimes! Luckily a few years ago I got in the habit of a cleaning routine. I used to be OCD (ok, I still am a little) and felt that I had to have everything in order all the time. This feeling sucked the joy out of being a mom to my kids. I realized something had to give, and that is when my cleaning routine was born.
Anytime you have a big task it is easier to split it up into smaller pieces. Your home is no different! If you feel you need to clean the whole house everyday it is SO easy to get overwhelmed. So, look at your house as a big job that the Lord has given you, and then break it down into smaller pieces.
Daily Upkeep
Dishes, sweep, make bed, general household duties
Bathrooms: Wash the floor, empty garbage, scrub toilets, sink, and bathtub.
Monthly: Wash off cabinets, scrub baseboards
Laundry: Jeans and Colors
Bedrooms: Dust, Vacuum floors, clean windows (rotate each week)
Laundry: Girls clothes
Kitchen: Clean out fridge, clean microwave, clean windows,
Mop kitchen, dining room and living room
Laundry: White clothes, white towels
Make Grocery list, clip coupons, check store ads for price matches
Dining room: Wipe off legs of table, clean windows and curtains (bi-weekly)
Laundry: Colored Towels and Delicates
Dust living room, clean and mop playroom
Laundry: Daniel and sheets/bedding
Vacuum rugs and couch
Catch up on things that may not have got done through the week.
Work outside.
Mop living areas
Laundry: 2 loads of "catch up" laundry
Enjoy your family, rest!
Now, I can't take all the credit for this routine. I have tweaked it through the years, and after finding Time Warp Wife, tweaked it some more. It has been a huge help to me, and for the most part has stayed the way it is currently for over a year.
Now, on paper it may look like a lot but it is really not. When I get up (normally an hour before the kids 6-6:30 ish) I start out with my Bible time. This is MY time, and if I do not get this it affects my whole day. Then I spend some time writing/blogging. When the kids get up we start our chores together. I feed them breakfast while they are doing their chores, and I clean my kitchen, put away dishes, sort or start laundry…you get the idea. These are my daily chores. They get done in the morning, and sporadically throughout the day as needed. The extra chores like dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, I do not have a "set" time to do those. Some days it may be in the evenings, some days in the mornings or while the baby is napping. I do them as I get to them. And some days…they don't get done at all!
If you are struggling with keeping up, talk to your husband about what matters most to him. For mine it is wrinkled clothes, and a clean kitchen. So I make sure those are #1 on the priority list. I don't make these #1 because he is a tyrant, but because he is my husband and I love him. I want him to be proud of our home, and be happy with the way I am taking care of it and our children. Your husband's may be different. But talking to him may help you put your priorities in order and give you some perspective about what can be put off until there is more time.
While I do think keeping a clean home is important I also believe that as moms of little ones we have to give ourselves grace. There are going to be days things don't get done. As long as we have done our jobs to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31) then we can give ourselves this grace. We need to make sure we are saying YES to the things that matter, like our kids, not a drama on TV that we probably shouldn't be watching. So there will be days that we said YES to a messy project, and NO to cleaning the toilet. There will be days that we said YES to a teething baby, and NO to dusting the bookshelves. This is okay! Our home is our sanctuary and we do need to take care of it to the best of our ability but our little ones are only going to be little for a while. So make sure to also take the time to enjoy them!

Not all people are honest and it is virtually impossible to watch all home viewers all the time. So take steps to protect your belongings. Whenever a homeowner places a property on the market for sale or rent, they should endeavor to protect their valuables AND to make sure the premise and contents have adequate insurance coverage. This is true whether a lockbox is used or not. It is paramount that owners fully understand that neither the listing broker, any agent affiliated with the Broker, any Buyer's Agent nor the Association of REALTORS or the MLS service is an insurer against the loss of an owner's personal property.
If you have valuables like jewelry, cash, sunglasses, coin or other collections or trinkets and bobbles, please put them away in your safety deposit box or deep in your drawers. We have next to no incident of theft to my knowledge on our board, but your participation is necessary to minimize the risk of loss or theft.
Years ago, I had a seller call me. She was very angry that another agent or his buyer who viewed the property that afternoon and had stolen her $10,000 wedding ring she left on her kitchen window after doing the evening's dishes. After much to-do, investigation, and worry on my part, my seller called me at 6:00 am the next morning to apologize, that the ring had fallen behind something and had been found. But, it could have been stolen and never found. And when something is gone you cannot usually prove what happened to it. It is simply gone and it is not fair to make assumptions. Get the picture. In my many years of Real Estate, I'm not aware of any incidences of theft from my listings.
Homeowners, whether they are selling their property or not, should make an accurate inventory of personal belongings. This is essential should the need arise to make an insurance claim. Each item should be recorded as to it's date of purchase and approximate cost and should include serial numbers and model numbers where applicable. Placing your home on the market for sale is an excellent time to update this inventory. In this regard, you may obtain a computer software program free of charge from your insurance agent that is designed to maintain a household inventory. Any record is better than no record. Take photographs or better; take a video tape inventory of your home and furnishings with a narrative as to value.
STORE THIS INFORMATION SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN IN THE HOME. The information will be of little use if it is destroyed or stolen.

Broward County officials reached into the state`s money tree Wednesday and found a potential plum: a proposed 1-cent local-option sales tax.
But school officials found less: less than they expected and less than they hope to get once the legislative review is completed on a $17.9 billion state budget recommended by Gov. Bob Martinez.
School officials were cool to the governor`s plan, saying it falls short of what they had hoped for.
Martinez`s $11.6 million recommendation for school construction funds, for example, is scarcely enough to build one new elementary school, according to district estimates. The school system will need money to build 19 new schools in the next five years.
Moreover, school officials had said they would need $503 million -- or $50 million more than in the current year -- to maintain existing programs and provide a modest raise to employees.
The governor`s recommendation of $483.5 million is $30 million more than Broward`s schools received from the state last year. But the $20 million discrepancy between what the governor is recommending and what school officials say they still need has left them shaking their heads.
``We`re twice as far behind this year as we were last year in the initial stages of the funding battle,`` said Georgia Slack, the school system`s lobbyist.
Swelling enrollment is the primary factor fueling the school system`s need for new funds, officials say. Some 5,000 new students are expected to enroll in Broward`s public schools next year. Just hiring new teachers for them would cost $8.3 million, according to district estimates.
Officials also are none too pleased at the governor`s recommendation to set aside $16.7 million for a 7 percent raise for teachers.

I plan to blog about anything and everything, fashion, reviews, lifestyle, advice posts, recipes, technology. One of the down falls of my previous blogs is that I worried about not posting a couple of times a week and I also majorly over planned my schedule. Because of this I will be posting at least once a week but will not be setting certain days to post. As I said, I am in the final stages of my A levels so I'm still pretty tight on time but with a two week holiday coming soon I will be sure to write a few posts in advanced to keep my blog ticking over.
I will be writing a post soon all about me to help you guys get to know me a little better. See you soon x

Alarm clocks… because everyone should begin their day with a heart attack!
It never ceases to amaze me how we start the day off on the run and continue to run all day until we drop.
It's really important to take a break!
If you find it difficult to take breaks because you feel like you're running behind then please know that YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
I have struggled for years pushing myself beyond what is reasonable thinking that everything had to be done today. I'm not saying that you shouldn't have a "To Do List" or that you should not be motivated.
What I'm saying is that you should not be consumed with overachieving or perfectionism.
Consider the fact that you're only human!
God is the Only perfect one who can get EVERYTHING done in seven days. For you and I, it's going to take time.
Take note of the progress you make today and this week, but do not make yourself "weak" by starting off with a heart attack and ending it disappointed.
Take a break today!
Know this, "..The Good Work That God Has Begun In You Will Continue Until Jesus Christ Returns And During This Time He Will Be Developing This Good Work In You And Will Continue Perfecting And Bringing It To Full Completion In YOU. (Philippians 1:6)
– God is perfect
– Take a break
– Keep pressing on until Jesus returns
– Jesus' performance makes you approved, not your own
– Jesus isn't giving up on YOU

3rd Annual RNA-Seq Conference Announcement and Early Bird Savings
Presented by CHI's X-Gen Congress
3rd Annual RNA-Seq: Differential Expression in Depth
March 18 – 20, 2013 | San Diego, CA
RNA-Seq is perhaps the most complex NGS application. The range, depth, and complexity of a human transcriptome is far from fully characterized. RNA transcripts, by nature, are moving targets, making their characterization and quantification difficult. A single RNA-Seq experiment can provide relatively unbiased sequence information for analysis of gene expression, novel transcripts, novel isoforms, alternative splice sites, allele-specific expression, cSNPs, and rare transcripts, depending on read depth.
Join us March 18-20 in San Diego, California at CHI's Third Annual RNA-Seq: Differential Expression in Depth conference to discuss NGS technical improvements providing new insights into our active genome.

May 2, 2007
Fresno, CA -- On May 1, 2007, the San Joaquin Valley Power Authority (Authority) was notified by Executive Director Steve Larson of the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) that the Authority's Implementation Plan for Community Choice was certified making it the first such Plan in the State to receive certification.
"It is encouraging to see that Commission has confirmed that our plan
meets the requirements set forth by the law (AB 117) that established Community
Choice Aggregation," stated Tom Haglund Hanford's Deputy City
Manager and the Authority's chair. "This certification by the
Commission is major accomplishment and moves Community Choice much closer to
being able to provide benefits to the communities, businesses and residents in
our region."
The certification letter further notes that the Implementation Plan reflects
modifications made by the Authority following consultation by Authority
representatives with representatives from Pacific Gas and Electric Company and
Southern California Edison Company.
"The Implementation Plan reflects several years of thoughtful planning
and consideration on how to successfully provide an energy program that can add
value to the electrical service for the customers in our region" stated David Orth, Kings River Conservation District (KRCD) General Manager and the Authority's program manager. "Addressing
the investor-owned utilities concerns strengthens our Community Choice program
and the achievement of our objectives to increase energy reliability, provide
residents and businesses savings and stability on their electrical bills, and
provide for local input and control over regional energy issues."
On January 25, 2007, Authority Directors approved the Community Choice
Aggregation Implementation Plan, which was subsequently submitted to the
California Public Utilities Commission by KRCD on behalf of the Authority on
January 29. The Plan's content includes discussions on organizational
structure, program implementation, resources utilization, rate setting and
participant rights.
AB 117, passed in 2002, allows cities and counties to combine the electrical
loads of their constituents for bulk electricity purchases. An opt-out
structure is provided for customers choosing to continue buying power directly
from the investor-owned utility. For customers participating in a Community
Choice program, the local utility company will continue to deliver the
electricity purchased by the regional Community Choice program through its
wires and will also continue to provide meter reading, billing, maintenance and
customer services.
The Authority was formed in November 2006 to develop and conduct electricity-related
programs for the region. San Joaquin Valley Power Authority Member Agency List: Kings County, cities of Clovis, Corcoran, Dinuba, Fresno, Kerman, Kingsburg,
Lemoore, Hanford, Parlier, Reedley, Selma, and Sanger.
The Kings River Conservation District is a public agency that serves
agricultural, business, and community residents within 1.2 million acres in
portions of Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties since 1951. KRCD is a leading
resource management agency in the areas of water, power and the environment for
the Kings River service area.

It is old fashioned, requires a place for storage and is not easily obtainable for the average American at current prices.

Ready to meet the mother of all moms? Me neither.
Little girls are supposed to dream about their weddings, kids, a home and white picket fence, and the smart, funny, gorgeous husband who will chase his girl to the ends of the earth.
Then there's me.
Growing up, I wanted to be famous. I wanted to be an actress. Or a rock star. Or a TV star. Or the lady who runs Wall Street. Oh, what about a lawyer? Could I be a pilot, too?
I settled for the most glamorous option: newspaper reporter. I know, you're jealous. That Michael Keaton movie made everyone want to be a reporter. No? Hmm…that's weird.
Dating? That was a nice pastime, but never a dedicated endeavor. I left a few and a couple left me, until I went to work at a daily newspaper in Northeast Texas, where I found "the one," in the form of a 21-year-old man. And me, a 33-year-old woman. Huh.
We got married, bought a small weekly newspaper in Southeast Texas and plunged into a roller coaster ride, deciding to wait on kids. Apparently babies can take up a lot of time. Somebody should totally write a book about that.
Then I was 38 and there was knocking on my uterine wall. Loudly. I went off the pill and found out your heart can break in more pieces than you even knew existed. A diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve, then Clomid, IUI and IVF. And then one day, there was a beautiful baby girl, two weeks shy of my 41st birthday.
Thinking that was it for us, we basked in the glow of parenthood. At my six month follow-up, I got the very interesting news that I was pregnant. Spontaneously. Weird.
In a flourish, we sold our business, sold our house, moved in with my dad until we could find a new place, bought our new house, moved, and had beautiful baby girl number two,
three months after my 42nd birthday.
And my how the time flies. Birthdays get logged, Christmases get celebrated, milestones get reached, and here I am, the mother of a 2½ year old and a 14 month old. The most beautiful daughters I could have hoped for, with a whole lot of precocious to go around.
Annie – the whirling dervish. At 2½, Annie could probably run our household. She knows where the food is, how to get water out of the refrigerator, how the washer and dryer works, where the vacuum is kept, and where all the clothes are contained. She also knows how to find mischief wherever she goes, including hiding in clothes racks, behind the slide at the park and in her sister's closet.
She can make you laugh and make you cry, and then tell you, "No thank you, Mommy," when you ask if she needs to go potty. She can recite her ABCs and count to 20, but she doesn't really like to wear clothes if she can help it, but she loves to walk around the house in mommy's heels.
Leelou – the little gremlin. Don't let this 1 year old fool you; Leelou can work an iPad and cell phone, identify all her family members in a picture, and shake her head "no" vigorously if you try to offer her a cracker when what she really wants is a cookie. She knows when she's done something a little naughty, because she clasps her hands behind her back and smiles a glorious smile, and you can't help laughing.
Leelou is very certain about what she likes and doesn't like. She likes her blanket, but she doesn't like wearing diapers. She likes noisy toys, but she doesn't really like to share them. She loves to eat, but she'll still pick up specks of food off the floor 10 seconds after she's been taken out of her high chair.
Our home is covered in blocks, cars, stuffed animals, toys that look like medical implements, books, beads, two castles, puzzles, crayons, chalk and more. I'm not exactly certain where mommy and daddy's influence leaves off and where theirs begins.
I'm so excited about the True Tales from the Pink and Blue Trenches series, and I look forward to fun tales about the differences and similarities of girls and boys each month, as Jodi tells it like it is at The Noise of Boys and I hold down the fort at Home on Deranged.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. equities zipped higher Friday afternoon as traders eyed strong consumer sentiment data and shrugged off a weak manufacturing report.

Today's Markets
As of 3:15 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 132 points, or 0.82%, to 16160, the S&P 500 advanced 10 points, or 0.55%, to 1840 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 5.8 points, or 0.14%, to 4246.
Markets across Europe posted gains on the day amid signs the once struggling eurozone economy is staging a comeback. The 18-member currency bloc expanded at a quarter-over-quarter pace of 0.3% in the fourth quarter, topping estimates of 0.2%.
In a positive sign, "the breakdown shows consumption turning positive for the first time since 2010 and investment was the main driver," according to analysts at Nomura.
On the U.S. front, the Federal Reserve said industrial production slumped 0.3% in January, widely missing estimates of a 0.3% gain. Factory output dropped 0.8% in the biggest drop since 2009. The central bank said the bad weather across the country might have impacted the data.
Meanwhile, the Labor Department said export prices in January rose 0.2% from December, while economists expected prices to remain unchanged. Import prices, meanwhile, rose 0.1%, above the 0.1% fall Wall Street was looking for. Later, there are readings due out on industrial production and consumer sentiment.
The data on consumer sentiment could be particularly interesting because they'll provide the first look at how consumers are faring in February after a weaker-than-expected January retail sales report.
In corporate news, Jos. A. Bank (NYSE:JOSB) said it would buy the Eddie Bauer clothing brand from private-equity firm Golden Gate Capital.
Elsewhere, U.S. crude oil futures fell 26 cents, or 0.26%, to $100.08 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline slumped 0.26% to $2.77 a gallon. Gold jumped $17.20, or 1.3%, to $1,317 a troy ounce.

Important Safety Tips for Bunk Bed Owners
Jan 03 2013 0 Comments Tags: Articles
Whatever your reasons for getting a bunk bed, it's always important to follow practical guidelines to ensure safety—especially if your kids are the ones sleeping in the bunk bed. It goes without saying that it's possible to injure yourself with almost any kind of furniture if you're reckless, but it's also important to note that today's metal bunk beds and wood bunk beds are the safest they have ever been, due to enhanced government regulation. Bunk beds for kids are held to even stricter standards, which should be a relief for many parents with rambunctious children. Bunk beds and loft...
Great College Dorm Room Bunk Bed Options That Maximize Space and Functionality
Jan 03 2013 0 Comments Tags: Articles
College students who are looking to taste independence may choose to live on campus, which means they will probably have to share a small dorm with one other person. Anyone who's ever lived in a dorm can attest to the frustrations that come with limited space, but there are ways to minimize the drawbacks and maximize the benefits. One way to properly maximize limited space is to opt for a wood bunk bed or metal bunk bed to share with a dorm mate; there are twin over twin bunk beds as well as full over full bunk beds to choose...

One of the major hurdles in the development of protein therapeutics is the risk for unwanted immunogenicity which can lead to decreased efficacy and safety concerns. Other adverse immune-mediated reactions such as cytokine release syndrome can be a matter of major safety concern.
Although we have learned a lot on the immunogenicity of the first generations of mAbs over the past decades, it is still difficult to estimate the risks associated with modifications to the original mAbs or with novel protein therapeutic platforms.
Today, several tools are available to improve and accelerate therapeutic drug development in an early stage. A well balanced and rational development strategy can help to design less immunogenic drugs and reduce the number of clinical failures.
Often used as a first step is an in silico T cell epitope prediction algorithm such as NetMHCpan which can be used to assess and compare the immunogenic potential of the lead candidates and guide de immunization strategies.
Further monitoring of the immunogenic risk can be performed using in vitro T cell proliferation assays to determine and rank the immunogenic risk of the test proteins or identify specific regions of concern. Potential cytokine release-associated responses can be evaluated using in vitro whole blood or cellular assays.
Additionally, MHC Class II Associated Peptide Proteomics (MAPPs) is more and more used to allow a relative ranking of the immunogenic potential based on the bound peptides processed and presented by dendritic cells (DCs).
Finally, the compilation of the different datasets and translation of the results into a comprehensive risk management plan allows further de-risking of test candidates and the selection of the best candidates to move forward into humans.

VOTE New Jersey Dark History
List Rules Originating or primarily in or from New Jersey, root causes with non-linear effects - that is huge, biggest impact in history - best or worst
New Jersey's hidden past continues the greatest impact to the world - amid history's largest non-nuclear explosions 1/2 Hiroshima(6 kilotons, Black Tom/JC 1 KT) killing untold numbers & evacuating 62,000 in Sayreville NJ(30 infamous disasters) namesakes burned Salem witches(&Horrific Punishment/Crime) - escalated/armed greatest wars, HISTORY's WORST serial killers, disasters/tragedies, confederate supremicists/eugenicists, mad doctors/horror hospitals, al-Qaeda/ISIS/Libyan terrorists, hidden Nazi war criminals, state corruption/mobs/crime/fleeing/apartheid/insolvency..., removing greatest freedoms, destroying children/families/radical feminism, police/police chiefs/creating terror/torture police force, horrific punishment/atrocity still showcased, crime of the century/murder castle/machinations, cruel companies radon poisoning/killing thousands of women and negligent NJ lawyers/courts...
The 300 year old Jersey Devil, or the Jeepers Creeper's like Leed's Devil from the assistant to the most vilified and hated governors of colonial America, New Jersey's First Royal Governor Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury with most notorious attacks January 16 through 23, 1909 in clubs and with police firing on it in Philidelphia and Camden.
The largest scale animal hunt in history to catch the 'Jersey Maneater' in 1916 killing many, a great white shark terror caught with ingested human remains heroically killed while destroying a fishing boat and almost killing all on board - many NJ experts claimed a sea turtle:) Panic was "unrivaled in American history", terrifying shark attacks mutilated and severed limbs causing bloody death with panick stricken onlookers. Former NJ governor and president Woodrow Wilson was petitioned to protect NJ's resort community beaches - "Armed shark hunters in motor boats patrolled the New York and New Jersey coasts today while others lined the beaches in a concerted effort to exterminate the man-eaters"
If all of us put in our best for our country, people and children can we make the new Contract with the American Voter work? Participate in Working Out and Continually Improving - INCLUDING IF NOT ESPECIALLY IN NJ. We'd All Need To Uphold our Great Constitution! AND IN NJ!!! Honesty, Integrity and Change to Washington! AND TO NJ!!! Remove Unnecessary and Abusive Government Bureaucracy and Control and the Income Taxes Paying for It! AND IN NJ!!!

INCLUDING NJ!!! Train and Assist our Local Police for our Safety and Upholding our Rights! AND IN NJ!!! More Energy and Infrastructure and Jobs! More and Better Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! - Take a Look!!! Can you feel it!
Otherwise New Jersey's Governor and House Election is November 6-7 2017 to make a change if not sooner - call our New Jersey representatives today if this list doesn't get better or keeps growing in the wrong direction - mine just get ignored or 'There's nothing we can do, we're your NJ representatives (in Washington)." Trenton and local as bad or worse - worthless. Who is going to turn this state around? This was Christie's 2nd and last term.

Here we are, already, at the tail end of March and the beginning of Spring.
Not a bad place to be. California is getting some much-needed rain, without too terribly much drama, and when the sun comes out, it's beautiful. So, make sure to take a breather and get out from behind that desk, or off that super-comfy sofa and get outside and enjoy. (Lord knows it will be hot soon enough!)
Is "A Wrinkle In Time" Any Good?
By Chris Narloch
We shall see if "A Wrinkle In Time" unseats "Black Panther" as the top film at the box office this weekend. I doubt that will happen, but Disney's latest release should at least come in a strong second to "Panther."
Believe it or not, there are other movies currently playing in theaters as well, although you wouldn't know it, given the enormous hype around those two blockbusters. Read on for my latest film reviews.

"Lady Bird" & "Lady and the Tramp" Come Home On DVD
By Chris Narloch
With the 90th Academy Awards airing on ABC this Sunday evening, March 4, now is the perfect time to put the spotlight on a trio of Oscar-caliber films that were recently released on DVD (or will be available for home viewing very shortly).
Sacramento's hometown hit "Lady Bird," which is nominated in five categories at this year's Oscars, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray this coming Tuesday, the same day that "Faces Places," one of my other favorite Oscar-nominated films from 2017, comes home on DVD.

Wanna Wear One:
As WOC nurses, Lara Leininger of UNC Health Care and Angela Richardson of Duke University Health System strive every day to raise the level of awareness regarding ostomy care, not just with patients and healthcare providers, but with everyone that they meet. This passion for their work, and a desire to teach even more people about ostomy care, led Lara and Angela to devise, design, and launch the first annual WannaWearOne (WWO) Ostomy AWEARness 5k set for October 4th, 2014. Sadly, most people in the community at large are not familiar with ostomies or perceive ostomies as something that limits peoples' daily lives. We want this race to be a big step toward changing these perceptions. The WannaWearOne (WWO) Ostomy AWEARness 5K aims to provide a fun, community driven experience that also serves as a platform for teaching people that ostomies do not limit peoples' lives, but in fact can improve them – allowing people to get back to healthy daily living, activities they love and most importantly…LIFE!
Lara and Angela would like to thank Doug Yakich, media specialist from the UOAA (United Ostomy Association of America), for helping us drive sponsorship, awareness and providing an enormous amount of guidance for this event. They would also like to recognize the local Triangle WOC Nurse group for being an instrumental force in helping get this 5K off the ground with hours of dedication and volunteer hours. Lastly, the WWO 5k would never exist if it wasn't for the experience and assistance from Lara's husband, Aaron Leininger, who laid the foundation for how to start and organize a 5k charity race. With this superb team, the WannaWearOne 5k will be a huge success!
