Seely Retires from USCG Reserve
By Mark Wilcox | Published
In 1983, Nancy Seely, associate director of the William G. Jackson Center for Teaching and Learning at Michigan Technological University, joined the US Coast Guard Reserve in San Antonio, Texas. She says she joined the Reserve at the encouragement of a work friend, in part because her father served in the Coast Guard during World War II, and in part because it was something different to do. "My father was very proud of his service during WWII and I wanted to be part of such a special organization. However, I really had no idea of what it meant to be a member of the Coast Guard Reserve or how long I would serve."
Over the three-plus decades there were many changes in Nancy's life; marriage, children, moving to the Keweenaw Peninsula and employment at Michigan Tech. Through all those changes, one thing remained constant, her commitment to the USCG Reserve. That's not to say there weren't changes in her career in the Reserves.
Seely joined the Reserve as a third class yeoman, managing issues relating to administration, personnel, pay and travel, among other things. When she retired from the Reserves 32 years later—in May—she was the reserve command master chief for Coast Guard District Eleven, covering the states of California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. The command master chief is the most senior enlisted member of the district and provides advice to the district commander on issues and initiatives pertaining to all Coast Guard reserve members and their families.
In the early days of her service, Seely supported recruiting activities in San Antonio, and after moving to Houghton in 1986, she served with the Coast Guard Reserve Unit at Station Portage as the stationkeeper, leading administrative petty officer, and then administrative officer. One of her mentors at Reserve Unit Portage was Master Chief David Thomas, a former Michigan Tech librarian.
After advancing to chief petty officer, Seely assumed the position of command enlisted advisor for Coast Guard Sector Sault Ste. Marie, covering the Lake Superior area, from Sault Ste. Marie to Duluth, and south to St. Ignace. She next served as the reserve command master chief for Sector Sault Ste. Marie. In these positions, she acted as the liaison between the enlisted reservists and the sector commander.
In June, 2012 Seely accepted the position of reserve command master chief for Coast Guard District Eleven in Alameda, Cal. When asked why she accepted a position 2,500 miles from home, she said "I had spent 26 years serving in the Lake Superior region, and I wanted to see another part of the Coast Guard. This position would also allow me to take on greater responsibilities than my position at Sector Sault Ste. Marie had. I quickly learned that that the roles and challenges facing reservists serving on the west coast were very different from those found at the small boat stations on Lake Superior. It was a great way to end my Coast Guard career."
Seely was recognized for her contributions to the Coast Guard during a Change of Watch and Retirement ceremony on April 21 on Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA. Admiral Joseph Servidio, the District Eleven commander, said Seely "served with extraordinary distinction." He said Seely's career in the Reserve exemplified the USCG's motto Semper Paratus (Always Ready) and he awarded her the Meritorious Service Medal.
Servidio said Seely was "passionate about her responsibility towards ensuring continued future Coast Guard and Coast Guard Reserve success—nurturing, grooming, and growing tomorrow's Reserve leaders." He said for more than 32 years Seely met every challenge placed in front of her with "grace and an always-positive attitude, did it superbly well, and did it with a focus and a passion placed on our people."
At the ceremony Seely, a passionate Michigan Tech hockey fan, paraphrased coach Mel Pearson's challenge to his senior players each year to "leave the organization better than they have found it."
"For me," Seely said, "after more than 32 years with the Coast Guard Reserve, I'd like to think that I have left the reserve program better than I found it … Semper Paratus.

LASALLE —Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) in LaSalle County during October.
OREPs allow the ISP to focus on safety belt and child safety seat laws. Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up.
Safety belts are still one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles, estimated to save nearly 14,000 lives each year.
Half of vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes were not properly buckled up. The objective of this program is to increase occupant restraint compliance through education, child seat inspections and enforcement.

So, last week, this big box turned up at our house. I waited in all day for it but it didn't arrive until late afternoon. It was our first Toys R Us Toyologist parcel. Unfortunately, Missy Woo saw it being delivered so I couldn't hide it and keep some toys back. An hour or so later, when Monkey was back from his swimming lesson, and tea had been consumed, two very excited children opened the box.
We were really glad to see a nice mix of stuff, including some arty crafty type things. Wish I could have had them earlier in the holidays! Anyway, we have only had a couple of days with them since opening the parcel as they have been away on holiday so we have only had chance to play with one or two things therein. Monkey and Missy Woo thought they'd show off their new things - it was just like Christmas or a birthday. (We had a fight later over whose bed Geoffrey Giraffe should sleep in!)
Before they went to bed, we allowed them to play with something. One that leapt out at me was "Pass the Bomb Junior" because it was simple to set up. Here, with some cack handed amateur photography, is the pack and contents.
You get a set of picture cards and a "bomb". I am really not a fan of games with lots of fiddly pieces that have potential to get lost so I was pleased with the simplicity of this.
The idea of the game is that players have to come up with words that fit with the scene on the card (eg "At the beach" could be "sandcastle"), and pass the ticking bomb on as they do so. The bomb "explodes" anytime between 10 and 60 seconds after it's switched on, so you have to come up with words quickly and pass on the bomb. If the bomb explodes whilst you have it, you get the card. The player with the least amount of cards wins.
Monkey and Missy Woo loved this, although they seemed to love the ticking bomb the most. They grasped how to play quite quickly although it took them a couple of goes to understand that getting no cards was good! The box says it is suitable for 5 years upwards, but Missy Woo is only 4 and managed to join in. As it was easy to understand and simple to play, they played happily without getting bored for quite a long time.
The game is great for families to play together. The bomb is fun; it was the thing that kept Monkey and Missy Woo excited and interested whilst playing it. It's also educational, as it could help children to learn new words and the scenes have titles in English, French and German - not that we could play the game completely in another language! It would be a great "rainy day on holiday" game; the children did take it on holiday but only played it a couple of times as they had lovely weather.
Overall, we gave this game a big thumbs up. It's simple but fun, and in terms of the length of time it can keep children occupied, it's good value for money.
Pass the Bomb Junior costs £12.99.

HOUSTON, Texas – When it comes to a holster for carrying on and off the range Comp-Tac Victory Gear is the top choice among IDPA competitors, according to the results of the equipment survey conducted by the International Defensive Pistol Association during their 2012 National Championship this past September.
The survey found that among the 29 holster brands used in the competition, more than a third (35.2%) of the competitors shot the match using a holster manufactured by Comp-Tac Victory Gear, a leading maker of holsters for the personal defense and competition market.
In addition to being the top holster for competition, 15.2% of the IDPA competitors at the National Championship indicated Comp-Tac as their preferred holster choice for concealed carry use, making the Texas-based holster maker the top CCW holster brand out of the 63 named by shooters.
The results of the 2012 IDPA National Championship equipment survey mirror those of the one conducted in June during the 2012 Carolina Cup, when IDPA competitors at that match also selected Comp-Tac as the top holster brand for competition (30.3%) and concealed carry (21.4%).
"We're extremely proud of the confidence IDPA members have shown in Comp-Tac by making us their top holster choice for competition and personal defense use," said Gregg Garrett , owner and president of Comp-Tac Victory Gear.
"Being selected this shooting season as the top holster at both the Carolina Cup and the IDPA National Championship is a reflection of the commitment Comp-Tac employees have to designing and making the best holsters on the market, as well as our company's commitment to supporting and growing the shooting sports."
The 2012 IDPA National Championship equipment survey was conducted among all 344 competitors with 304 indicating a competition holster preference and 198 indicating a concealed carry holster preference. Results from the Carolina Cup survey were based on a smaller sample with 122 and 117 competitors indicating preferences for competition and concealed carry respectively.

Measles or rubeola is a highly infectious ailment from the rubeola virus. This is an endemic disease that is continuously present in a community and many have developed resistance. Nevertheless, if the condition arises in an area where people were not yet exposed, the outcome can be overwhelming.
Indications of measles
Measles is characterized by fever and at least one of the following:
- Cough
- Conjunctivitis
- Coryza (runny nose)
The symptoms typically manifest around 9-11 days after the initial infection. The other symptoms might include the following:
- Dry hacking cough
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- Conjunctivitis
- Light sensitivity
- Sneezing
- Fever that can range from mild to severe
- Koplik's spots are small-sized, grayish-white spots that have bluish-white centers in the mouth, throat and inside the cheeks
- Generalized body aches
- Rash that are reddish-brown spots that arises 3-4 weeks after the initial symptoms
How measles develops
Once the virus moves into the body, it reproduces in the rear part of the throat, lymphatic system and the lungs. It eventually infects and reproduces in the eyes, urinary tract, blood vessels as well as the central nervous system.
It usually takes 1-3 weeks so that the virus can fully establish itself. Nevertheless, some develop symptoms 9-11 days after developing the infection.
An individual who have measles before will not become infected again. On the other hand, those who have not been infected or vaccinated can become sick if exposed to infected droplets.
Remember that there is no specific treatment for measles. In case there are no complications, the doctor will recommend adequate rest and measures to control the fever and prevent dehydration. Take note that the symptoms typically settle within 7-10 days.
If a child develops measles, the following measures can be done:
- If fever is present, keep the child cool and provide medications such as ibuprofen.
- Make sure that the child is not exposed to those who smoke.
- Keep the lights dim or the room darkened.
- If crustiness forms on the area surrounding the eyes, carefully clean the area using a warm, moist cloth.
- For the cough, a humidifier should be used in the room of the child.
- Keep the child properly hydrated by providing more fluids to drink.

AN: This is my first Mentalist fanfic, but half an hour ago I finished watching Fugue in Red, and this had to get out if I was going to sleep tonight. Please review, I'd like to know if I've got his voice right.
It didn't feel like a door opened or like a flood. It was a quiet horror show in his mind. Everything that was gone simply reappeared like a restored computer file, not jumbled or corrupted by its brief absence but crisp, and fresh, and excruciating. It was too much. It was too, too much. For one final, blissful moment, there was numbness before he became reacquainted with the pain and the guilt. Oh, god.
Jane didn't notice his knees had buckled until Lisbon caught him, gently lowering him to the floor. He lashed out, pushing Lisbon away hard enough to make her stumble, but she caught herself before she fell. Blinded by tears he'd held in check ever since he'd been released from the hospital where he'd been committed, he couldn't see her face, but he knew it would hold surprise, and hurt, and guilt, and sympathy. He knew it because he knew her now, again.
"You couldn't leave it be!" Patrick heard himself shouting. "Dammit, I was happy!" A new wave of guilt struck him. He'd been happy without Angela and Charlotte. He'd forgotten them. He couldn't breathe past the sobs. "I was happy," he moaned brokenly, curling in on himself in the doorway. "How could I be happy?" Lisbon sat down next to him quietly and put a gentle hand on his shoulder. She'd tried to offer him comfort before, in the years he'd known her, but he'd never accepted it. Just this once, he thought desperately. It's Lisbon. I can be weak just this once. He turned slightly towards her, and she wrapped her arms around him like a benediction, like she could protect him.
"I'm sorry," she whispered gently. "I know it's not fair for me to show you this, but I was afraid of what you might do if you were alone when you remembered." Part of his shattered heart was ground into powder by her words. She'd been afraid for him. He'd disrespected her and betrayed her trust (hell, he'd even grabbed her ass) but still she feared for him.
The frayed tatters of his resentment melted like morning fog beneath the sun. He'd never been able to stay mad at Lisbon. She was his savior, the closest he'd ever come to meeting a saint. Dr. Miller may have pulled him back from suicide, but it was Lisbon who got in his face and refused to allow him to return to the darkness, who gave him purpose, who knew him and still accepted him. He clung tightly to her deceptively delicate frame and gave into the grief.
He didn't know how much later it was that he regained control and released her with murmured thanks. His head was pounding and his neck and shoulders were cramped. Lisbon stood and helped him to his feet with a weary but fond smile. "C'mon. Let's head back to the office. I'll make you some tea."
Patrick remembered why he loved this woman.


text: In a sleepy lagoon off the coast of Japan, behind a wall of barbed wire and "Keep Out" signs, lies a shocking secret. It is here, under cover of night, that the fishermen of Taiji engage in an unseen hunt for thousands of dolphins. The nature of the work is so horrifying, a few desperate men will stop at nothing to keep it hidden from the world. But when an elite team of activists, filmmakers and free divers embark on a covert mission to penetrate the cove, they discover that the shocking atrocities they find there are just the tip of the iceberg.

- Classify the greatest site in order to appeal to footfall. Unless you are planning to rely on word of mouth and shape your trade over a very time-consuming period, location will play a decisive fragment in the eventual achievement of your enterprise.
- Settle into your working routine (and make sure your workforce are accustomed with their tasks!) and then encourage reviewers from the Deal media to conduct a restaurant evaluation - a superior assessment is apt to boost community awareness in your enterprise.
- Make surely you're listed in regional food and restaurant guides. This will mean signing on with the Deal tourist handbooks and this will also help attract citizens from outside of the immediate quarter.
- Announce in newspapers read by your intended listeners. Dealnewspapers and business magazines generally proffer sensibly priced marketing space.
- Stand out from your competitors by selecting an exclusive illustration or theme and applying it to your decoration, team uniforms, crockery and cutlery, and menus.
- Advertise diverse audiences depending on the time of the day or season of the year. Mutually daytime and evening menus may well be provided, with each day exclusives accessible to change the usual bill of fare.
- Use special offers to boost trade during slow-moving times, with mid-afternoon bargains for students and elder diners, and special kid's menus offered to be a magnet for families. Christmas is an important moment in time for most restaurants, in view of the fact that it offers the prospect to boost business owing to corporate parties and can be a launch to your restaurant for likely new customers who possibly will return all through the rest of the year.
As word-of-mouth exposure is of the maximum value for Deal restaurants, it is essential that your customer service should always be attentive, timely and well-mannered!

The 1929 American LaFrance is our pride and joy. This truck was originally purchased by the Bolton Fire District. It has most of the original fixtures and a working pump. In November of 2005, the members of the Bolton Fire Company decided it was time to restore the "29". It has undergone a major frame off restoration at Northeast Body and Equipment. We have added some pictures as the restoration takes place. Any questions or comments regarding this truck should be sent to Steven DeLorenzo.

Production of GM's much hyped Chevrolet Volt electric car continues to hum along and looks to have passed an important point, we've learned today, as General Motors said the first pre-production unit has "rolled off the line at the Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Plant." It is the first of several pre-production Volts that will be built in coming months as the company ramps up to build actual purchase ready models later this year.
GM said these pre-production Volts "will not be sold at dealerships, but will be used to assure all steps in the production system will meet the quality targets set by the Volt engineering team." Current specs on the Volt indicate this electric car will offer up to "40 miles of pure electric driving before an engine-generator kicks in to sustain the battery charge and seamlessly extends the range to about 300 additional miles."
"We have a very experienced workforce at this plant and through all of their preparation and training workers here have been given the privilege to take GM into the future with this car," said Detroit-Hamtramck plant manager Teri Quigley in a statement.

I love decorating for the holidays don't you?? Lately I've been into gingerbread houses, don't know why but I've got a cute little collection of them now. They make me happy just like this cute little Merry banner I have to share with you today!
This banner would look great hanging from your fireplace mantel or bookcase, across a mirror, or even on your Christmas tree! The patterned paper is from the Be of Good Cheer DSP. The color scheme is Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, and Very Vanilla.
This project came together pretty quickly with the help of my trusty crafting buddy – the Big Shot! I love the Big Shot – I think it may be my "go to" paper crafting tool! I used the following 3 dies:

Remember the Countryside Code
The Countryside Code is applicable to all of us who use the UK's luscious countryside. Birdwatchers, dog walkers, astronomers and land managers alike have a shared responsibility to protect, respect and thoroughly enjoy Britain's greenery. Take a look through this quick guide before your next session with those new bird watching binoculars or nightly astronomical telescope excursion!
The code is set into four public sections:
Be safe, plan ahead and follow signs – Understanding access rights, checking weather conditions, mobile phone reception (and battery!), visitors centre locations, map markers, sign meanings and so on; it's pretty much all common sense, but sometimes we could all do with a little reminder.
Leave gates and property as you find them – Much of the UK's public countryside passes through or close to private land and farms. Open gates, closed gates, stiles etc are all in place for a reason. If particularly concerned about an open gate/distressed animal etc, try to contact the farmer or local authority.
Protect plants and animals, and take litter home – Long before we stared shopping for astronomical telescopes and bird watching binoculars, we all went to school and learned not to be litter bugs! Always take items foreign to the countryside home (this includes leftover jam sandwiches!) Public fires are banned for good reason; fragile ecosystems can be detrimentally affected.
Keeps dogs under control – In many parts of the countryside it's illegal to let your dog off the leash. Farmers are within their legal rights to destroy a dog that harms their livestock. Always pick up your dog's "business" and avoid the countryside if your dog isn't wormed, as it could easily pass on the infection.

A message from you
You may already know this, but Carol's odometer is due for a MAJOR rollover in the next few weeks. When I asked her what she would like for her birthday, she asked for only one thing: she would like to build a well in a place where our neighbors don't have access to clean water, in Jesus' name.
Please consider joining us in this project, in lieu of any other gift / card / spectacle you might have considered on her behalf. We believe this organization is at the top of efficient, ethical, and God-honoring groups doing this kind of work (ECFA member, etc).
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
About Gospel for Asia
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: seeing communities in Asia discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we've found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.

Hi again..!! I'm back with another review, I meant to have this posted much earlier but I have been recovering from surgery for about a month now but I am slowly getting better. The sweet owner Isabel has been far too kind and understandable...thank you!! Lets get started my precious faeries, this Storenvy shop is based in Miami, Florida and is 100% Kawaii inspired. It's focused on all different types of Japanese fashions and accessories. You can get anything from clothing, bags, accessories, amigurumi and plushies. I was sent a few clothing items to review for you all that I'm really excited about ⸌̷̻( ᷇ॢॢ ᷆◍)⸌̷̻♡⃛
I didn't get proper photos of the parcel with bright lighting but everything was secure and packaging was carefully done, I didn't iron or steam any pieces before photos..I apologize..!

This sweater is comfortable and warm, I'm wearing a medium so if you like yours to be a bit more loose I would recommend getting a size bigger. I paired it with my hand painted drippy shorts from a shop that is unfortunately closed now, if its colder out wearing some pastel pants or joggers in lots of different colors would look too cute.

first i want to say that it is a great mod mand i love it, but on the 2017 version the radiator grill is different, this is more a 2015 version.
For the improvements, the suspension should be smoother and in my opinion an exhaust that big is not necessary

Tissue Culture
Plant tissue culture is an essential component of many present-day breeding techniques, such as anther culture, protoplast technology, embryo rescue and microsporogenesis.
Optimal conditions for such techniques are to be determined for each new species and we have a track-record in this area. Another major application of plant tissue culture is micropropagation: vegetative propagation in vitro. Micropropagation may produce very fast large numbers of vigorous plants with high quality and without endogenous pathogens. Micropropagation can be achieved by inducing outgrowth of axillary buds and suppressing apical dominance, by de novo synthesis of adventitous shoots or by somatic embryogenesis. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of some of the crucial steps in the processes mentioned above are studied aimed not only at improving the efficiencies, but also the quality of the plants produced. Because stress is a major cause of poor quality, quality improvement is tackled in a research project on stress related to tissue culture at the physiological, biochemical and molecular level. This should lead to practical solutions reducing the detrimental effects of stress imposed by the harsh environmental conditions in in vitro micropropagation. Another determining factor of growth and quality in tissue-cultured plants is nutrition. We are studying nutrient flows and parameters influencing it in tissue culture. The study of physiological factors as transpiration and photosynthesis is combined with a molecular genetic approach investigating the role of genes involved in carbohydrate partitioning.

Beatles, Green Day, US Festival, Paul Simon Movies Now Streaming
Good Ol' Freda Available on Netflix: There's no shortage of books and movies that explore the Beatles from a variety of angles, but you'll never get a more intimate portrait of what went on behind the scenes of early Beatlemania than this charming doc. Directed by Ryan White, the film centers on Freda Kelly, the Fab Four's longtime secretary who handled every piece of the group's fan mail through the course of their whirlwind career. Through sending over scraps of Paul's shirts or locks of Ringo's hair to desperate fans, she became a trusted member of the band's inner circle. Freda's long-withheld stories are the heart of this film, but rock geeks will enjoy the rare look at the business side of what was the biggest band on the planet.
Green Day: ¡Cuatro! - Available on Hulu: This gritty yet fun documentary serves as a companion piece to the (overly) ambitious project Green Day underwent in 2012: releasing three albums Uno!, Dos!, and Tres! - over the course of three months. Though a bit of a puff piece, director Tim Wheeler's film does offer a wealth of behind the scenes footage of the punk band throwing themselves completely into the writing and recording of three very diverse LPs, and its fun to see that the camaraderie within the group is stronger than ever. Best, though, are the live performances Wheeler captures, taken from small club gigs where Green Day tried out some of this new material and whetted their fans' appetites for the upcoming albums.
Last Shop Standing: The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of the Independent Record Shop Available on Amazon Instant: Chosen as the official film of Record Store Day 2013, this UK documentary attempts to buck the rising tide of music streaming by focusing on, as the title suggests, the glories and struggles of the independently-owned record store. Based off a book of the same name, the film is as educational as it is proselytizing, utilizing some inspiring interviews from the likes of Johnny Marr, Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim), Paul Weller and Billy Bragg, who all speak on how their creative endeavors over the years were impacted by crate digging and conversations in their local music shop. Though the film's message has been undercut this past year by the news of a 32 percent rise in vinyl sales and recent opening of Rough Trade Records in New York, Last Shop Standing could serve as a cautionary tale for those crazy enough to enter the music retail business.
US Festival 1983: Days 1 3 Available on Amazon Instant: When former Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak decided to stage the weekend long music event known as the US Festival, his intention was to "throw one big party in the middle of nowhere." As this collection of concert footage proves, Woz certainly accomplished this. Culled from the second US Fest held on Memorial Day weekend 1983, this two-hour compilation is overflowing with great performances from iconic artists such as U2, David Bowie, Van Halen, The Clash (their last show to feature founding member Mick Jones) and Stevie Nicks, as well a taste of '80s nostalgia by way of appearances from Quarterflash, Triumph and the Stray Cats.
Under African Skies: Paul Simon's Graceland Journey Available on Hulu: The story of Paul Simon's 1986 album Graceland has so many strands: how it opened the doors for Western audiences to more fully embrace world music, the spotlight it shone on his collaborators like Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Los Lobos, and the controversy stirred up due to the singer-songwriter breaking a UN cultural boycott by recording it in South Africa. Director Joe Berlinger manages to tie all those threads together even as he follows Simon along as he prepares for a concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of the GRAMMY-winning album's release. The end result is engrossing and surprisingly emotional, especially when Simon is confronted on camera by Dali Tambo, the founder of Artists Against Apartheid and his most vocal critic. more.

Keep reading to find out what you should know.
To keep your drinking water clean in a hotel room, rinse out your drinking glasses, even if there is a paper cover or a plastic wrapping around it.

If you are a member of a frequent flyer program or travel a lot, try joining a hotel loyalty program. You can earn points and use them toward your upcoming stays. You can also gain airline miles if the hotel is a partner of a frequent flier program. Check the airline or hotel website to see what you're qualified for.
Make location a top priority when it comes to searching for hotels. If you are going to be staying in a city and want to sight-see, it may not be wise to stay in a hotel 30 minutes away from all the action. Ask the hotel about attractions close by or look up their location on the Internet.
Do you stay at a particular hotel chain fairly often? Consider signing up for click the up coming web site . As long as it is free to do so, you really have nothing to lose. Giving recommended could mean getting special perks that you can use the next time you stay there.
Bedbugs have become a problem at hotels in recent years, so upon entering your hotel room, check for signs of these critters. Check for stains on bedding and behind walls. If you notice any signs that point to the possible presence of bedbugs, request a different room. Bedbugs can travel home with you in your luggage, causing an unwelcome infestation in your home.
Do not assume all hotels allow pets. Some hotels allow pets of any size, some have certain restrictions, and some do not allow pets at all. If you have a pet and book a room at a hotel that has a no pet policy, you will not be allowed to stay there with your furry friend.
There are three things to do ahead of time if you want to bring your pet to a hotel with you. Be sure that the hotel really does allow pets. Make sure you bring along plenty of plastic bags to dispose of any pet waste. Ask for a corner room so that your pets' noise doesn't bother anyone else.
When traveling with small children, try to choose a hotel that caters to them. Most hotels offer cribs. Some have playgrounds and/or pools to help keep your kids entertained. Some even offer or children's programs during the day or babysitters at night. Many hotels do not charge extra for children under a certain age to stay in the same room with their parents.
Check out the prices at the hotel website. Sometimes the hotel website will have deals that trump the hotel discount websites out there. Before you pick a deal be sure to do this due diligence. You can even call the hotel to ask if they have any unpublished rates.
If you wish to see if a hotel room has bed bugs, check out the bathroom. The bathroom is not a common place where bedbugs would be. When you determine there are not any in there, set your bags down and inspect the remainder of the premises. It's also a safe spot for kids and pets to sit for a bit too.
Be aware of the check in and check out times for the hotel at which you are staying. If you arrive too early, your room may not be ready, and you may have to wait a few hours to access it. If you fail to check out by the appointed time, you may be charged for an extra day. Knowing the hotel policies with regard to check in and check out times can save you some aggravation.
Beware of the bottle of water beside your bed. Many hotels charge as much as 10 dollars for that bottle of water. Other items that you may not realize you will be charged for include: pool towels, newspapers and Internet access. To ensure you are not being charged for items you do not want read the fine print.
Make sure the hotel you choose has friendly staff. Nothing can ruin a hotel stay faster than rude staff members. They need to be accommodating and welcoming. Try looking at some reviews online for the hotel you want. This can help you see how other travelers felt about the staff of a hotel. Their comments can help you decide between hotels for your trip.
Choosing the right hotel for your next vacation can be tricky, especially if you do not know that much about hotels. Many hotels appear nice at first, but really are not of very good quality. With the information that you have read in this article, you can avoid these hotels and find quality ones easily.

HashRabbit, a bitcoin mining management and security software developer, has managed to accumulate $500,000 in funds which means that it is allegedly planning to put towards its mining operations.
HashRabbit informed that most of the funds came from Draper Associates along with VegasTechFund, an investment company run by Zappos founder Tony Hsieh. Besides, the company partners with Israel-based mining hardware manufacturer Spondoolies-Tech, whose gear is compatible with HashRabbit's management software.
Chris Shepherd, co-founder and CEO of HashRabbit, admitted that the company makes software for Bitcoin miners and it is trying to make its software suite available to all bitcoin miners:
"We make software for bitcoin miners. What that means is we are essentially the firmware that actually runs on the bitcoin miner itself… Every minute, every second this thing is not hashing, not getting credit, you're losing money."
The company was born when Shepherd was operating his own mining rig out of his garage in 2013. There is no doubt that he encountered such problems like keeping his equipment constantly operational, besides he was observing that he was losing money every moment the equipment was running without hashing.
Later, together with his partner Gabe Evans, they realized that the code in most mining software had room for improvement. Besides, mining operations can be highly labor intensive. If a machine fails or overheats, physical manpower is needed to manually tend to it.
Shepherd said that HashRabbit realized that firmware is the problem, and they needed to make a better system that enables updates when zero days come out. According to Shepherd, by working directly with hardware manufacturers on security issues, the company has gained credibility with companies such as Spondoolies-Tech.
However, Shepherd thinks as Spondoolies-Tech is focused on hardware, HashRabbit can focus on the software and make sure it is persistently secure, fast and easily updated, it will be able to provide the requirements well. Besides, he stated that HashRabbit is working with other hardware manufacturers, but could not supply with details at this stage.
On the whole, that is amazing that despite massive fluctuations in price, the recent hacks and the overall level of doubt surrounding the digital currency, bitcoin is continuing to make a good name for itself and open ground through the crowds with a loyal group of followers behind it.


text: With funding from USAID/OFDA through FH (K), PACIDA has for the first time in Marsabit County, introduced a new high-tech water billing system- the pre-paid water meters. This system has been introduced in three locations i.e Dirib Gombo Borehole that has 2 meters with 3 taps each, Saku Water Kiosk and Shauri Yako water kiosk with 1 meter each that houses 3 outlets per meter. Upon initiation of the project, 28,500 people were set to benefit, however a total of 30,888 have so far benefitted. The pre-paid water meters has numerous benefits including 100% transparency and accountability as a result of existing monitoring software installed on responsible persons computers, 24/7 operations, zero unpaid for water, no kiosk operator required and increased revenue collection. The CEC Water, Environment and Natural Resources- Marsabit County Eng. Wako Guyo during the launch of Dirib Gombo Communal pre-paid Water Kiosk said he'll encourage other stakeholders within the county to adopt the same technology in a bid to improve water access and sustainability.

I made these last year and they were a success. It is frustrating shelling out big bucks for commercial starters or fat wood just to start our daily fires... so I use recycled household ingredients to make these. there are a number of different methods online. I found one on YouTube that seemed pretty straightforward and used what I had. So, I gathered the following items and commenced...
1. Empty cardboard toilet paper tubes
2. Dryer lint (I collect this every time I do laundry and store it in the basement in a box... but NOT near the dryer as it is highly flammable.) Hint: Only natural fibers create lint. If you are trying to make a bunch of lint in a hurry (last minute Christmas gifts...lol), don't expect it in your synthetics load. When the kids were playing club ball, their uniform loads made zero lint. Underwear, socks, t-shirts, and towels are rockin' lint makers.
3. Old wax candles. Candle stick stubs. Pillar stubs. Jar candles (I break the jars and save the wax). I solicit old candle donations from family members who use them regularly (I do not since I'm married to a fireman).
Additional supplies needed:
1. Large coffee can in which to melt wax via double boiler method.
2. Large pot to use as base of double boiler.
2. Metal ladle set aside for the specific purpose of pouring wax.
3. Aluminum trays in which to set the cardboard tubes while I'm filling (I constantly spill).
4. Fire extinguisher close by since we're making fire starters.
5. Misc. items that you discern makes the job easier and safer in your specific location of choice.
It is not a particularly quick project and there is a slight learning curve. I have found that stuffing a tube halfway and filling with wax, waiting until slightly congealed, then filling the other half is a good method for getting a solid fill. A tube that is very stuffed and very saturated will burn longer than one that is lightly packed.
I wait until the tubes are cool but NOT cold before cutting. They are almost impossible to cut through when all the way cold. The good news is that they take a long time to get that firm. I then cut the tubes in 4 equal parts so that I have nice heavy little disks, ready for use.
These little guys burn for a long time. I used to know exactly how long but can't seem to recall now. I believe mine burn somewhere from 15 to 20 minutes.... a larger chunk will burn longer.
For giving...
Last year, I packaged them neatly in bakery boxes. I thought it was cute but it's not a great long-term storage solution. This year, I recycled a pretty tin from the ginger cookies at Trader Joe's. The tin is nice enough to keep out when company comes... but still should be kept reasonably far from the fireplace or wood stove since they are flammable.
The pictures I took (above) made me laugh because they make the starters look like little sausages! They do always end up looking a little pink because the red candles always seem to outnumber all other colors.
This is a nice video showing an easier method using paper egg cartons. Just fill and cut. I had more toilet paper tubes than cardboard egg cartons... so that's how I made my decision. Lots and lots of great YouTube videos with many different methods. Enjoy!

Chicago-based Forest City Enterprises has submitted a proposal to the city of Temecula to renovate The Promenade Mall. The intended plan will add open-air shopping space, as well as restaurants. Two Macy's department stores are planned for the remodel and they will be linked by a pedestrian walkway.
The Temecula City Council is reviewing the project and should provide comments by January 4, 2016. The last time the mall was renovated was in 2009, when 126,000 square feet of shopping space was added to the property.

My work is mostly stylized florals, fractal generation/manipulations, gradients and pattern design. I dabble with anime and vector graphics. My store is quite colorful and eclectic – with lots of PURPLE!
A secondary passion for me is creating fashion and home sets for retailers on Polyvore. If you are looking for a creative outlet, I highly recommend it! I feature my products on Polyvore as well and encourage others to use them in their sets.
I would love if you stopped by my blog where I feature my Zazzle collections, fashion sets from Polyvore, and discuss trending fashion and showcase outfits and products from handpicked Zazzle designers.
If you would like to see one of my paintings, fractal works, or graphic designs on a product, please let me know. Also, if you see a design that you would like me to personalize for you - I'd love to help.

Need help with a design? Contact me: email@example.com
I've been drawing and painting for decades and have several art galleries floating around on the Web, but my favorites are Fine Art America and Deviant Art.
What inspires me is nature (butterflies and flowers can take my breath away) but I have a strong tendency towards order and can become quite immersed in the process of creating patterns. The simple designs that draw your eye, and the patterns that make your stare for no apparent reason are what fascinate me. I want people to buy something with my design on it and feel good about it. Something they will be proud of and want to show their friends. Even the simplest design can become a treasure.

The most-sacked quarterback in the NFL since 2012 has been Indianapolis' Andrew Luck, and it has taken a physical toll on the former No. 1 overall pick. BookMaker offers a prop on the number of times Luck is sacked in 2017.
The Indianapolis Colts fired GM Ryan Grigson back in January in large part because Grigson failed miserably to build a good offensive line to protect quarterback and franchise player Andrew Luck. Since entering the NFL as the No. 1 overall pick out of Stanford in 2012, Luck has gone down a whopping 156 times. The AFC South-rival Jacksonville Jaguars have gotten him the most, 22 times overall.
Luck was able to survive the beatings his first three seasons as he played every game. However, Luck was limited to seven games in 2015 in part due to a lacerated kidney and 15 last year. Luck hasn't been able to take part in the Colts' offseason activities because he's recovering from right shoulder surgery five months ago. Last week at a town hall event, owner Jim Irsay didn't give a timetable on when Luck will begin throwing a football, but it's expected Luck will be ready for the start of the regular season.
[/]{"component":"video", "type":"youtube", "url":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/7C3FFlK0fH0", "videoSize":"Large" }[/]
BookMaker offers an NFL prop on how many times Luck will be sacked in 2017: 32.5. The 'over' is -145 and the 'under' +115. If you believe Irsay, the offensive line has been "fixed." The projected starters are Anthony Castonzo at left tackle, Jack Mewhort at left guard, Ryan Kelly at center, Joe Haeg at right guard and Le'Raven Clark at right tackle. Those latter three were all taken in the 2016 draft, which was Grigson's last. He has been replaced by longtime NFL scout & personnel man Chris Ballard, who was most recently with the Chiefs.
There have been 35 different starting combinations on the O-Line in Luck's career. He has taken snaps from six centers. The Colts' linemen have yielded an NFL-high 578 QB hits since 2012. The next-worst team is Cleveland with 545. Kelly was one of 11 rookies in the league to start all 16 games in 2016. This is the first time in Luck's career that Indianapolis is returning its key O-Line players from the previous season.
It's not always the line's fault that Luck is sacked as he holds on to the ball too long at times. Luck's average release time of 2.81 seconds on his throws is below the NFL average of 2.48 seconds. Plus, the Colts often throw too much because they have struggled to run the ball.
So what of that prop? The important wording is that it's how many times Luck is sacked, not the Colts QBs. If he misses a handful of games, it's likely that Luck wouldn't top 32.5. A total of 16 quarterbacks were sacked at least 33 times last year. Buffalo's Tyrod Taylor was No. 1 in going down 42 times. Luck was tied for second-most at 41 with Cincinnati's Andy Dalton and Seattle's Russell Wilson.
The Colts have a three-day minicamp June 12-14 before breaking until training camp starts in late July. I'm leaning 'under' for my NFL pick here simply because I'm not confident Luck will play all 16 games. The Colts open the 2017 season at the Rams and are early 3-point betting favorites.Free NFL Pick: 'Under' 32.5Best Line Offered: BookMaker

Back and leg pain is one of the most potentially debilitating conditions
a person can endure, especially when it starts as the result of a serious
spinal injury. Furthermore, neck and arm pain can be equally disabling. Whether an individual
has a sudden fall that results in a herniated disc or is involved in a
car accident that causes a vertebral fracture, the resulting pain and
discomfort can keep a person from functioning normally. In some cases,
the pain is chronic and severe in a way that makes a person unable to
work or function normally.
Fortunately, modern medicine offers a variety of treatments for the correction
of spinal injuries and relief of related back pain. One of the many options
for back pain sufferers is spinal cord stimulation.
Spinal cord stimulation, or SCS, is a medical treatment that involves the use of electrical signals
to block pain nerves of the spine to greatly
reduce the sensation of pain. This kind of treatment is usually used in
cases where other treatments like medicine, exercise, and/or injections
have not been successful. It may also be useful for those who have either
had surgery and still suffer from pain, or where surgery is not an option.
To test whether electrical stimulation will be successful for a given patient,
he or she is first given a trial stimulator. A local anesthetic is applied
to the skin where the electrode will be inserted, and the appropriate
wires are inserted under the skin in the space above the spinal cord,
similar to an epidural injection. Then, those wires are connected to a
small, portable external battery that provides the appropriate signal.
The patient will then go home and try the device for up to one week, simulating
what life would be like with the device.. Depending on the level of relief,
the readiness of the patient and any other medical concerns, the doctor
may then suggest the implantation of a more permanent generator (powered
either by a rechargeable battery or one that will need to be replaced
every few years). If the trial is not successful, the trial wires are
removed painlessly in the office, with no permanent consequence.
If it's decided that a permanent generator is a good option, the
patient will return a few weeks after initial testing for a one- to two-hour
implantation surgery. Under sedation anesthesia, the more permanent wires
and battery, will be implanted beneath the skin of either the buttocks
or abdomen.
Not all conditions can be solved by SCS, of course, but there are quite
a few for which the pain can be dramatically reduced by the treatment.
Spinal cord stimulation has been successfully used to treat a variety
of conditions, such as the following
If your back pain is causing you significant distress, has persisted after
repeated back surgeries, and cannot be managed well by standard medications
and spinal treatments, your condition may be treatable by spinal cord
stimulation. Discuss this option with your physician to determine whether
or not you're a good candidate for the procedure.
Successful spinal cord stimulation therapy has numerous benefits. The implantation
procedure is significantly more affordable than other
surgical options, the pain relief is targeted specifically to the area
of the pain, and hand-held control technology makes the system easy to
use.. Spinal cord stimulation has also been found effective for significantly
reducing the use of opioid medications, even in patients who had experienced
chronic spine pain for over a decade.
Those patients for whom spinal cord stimulation is successful generally
experience significant relief from chronic pain and may even find themselves
capable of going back to work and/or taking on more physical tasks. Of
course, it is always recommended to continue monitoring the spinal condition
and to treat an injured spine with care regardless of whether the pain
is under control.
As with any surgical procedure, the insertion of electrodes/generators
for spinal cord stimulation carries a certain amount of medical risk.
Potential risks may include leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, nerve damage
or weakness, increased pain, infection (usually leading to removal of
the generator and/or electrode), or stimulator malfunction/failure.
1 When consulting with a spinal surgeon about this treatment, he or she will
go over these risks with you in greater detail. If you have any concerns,
be sure to raise them in this conversation.
There are also a few other medical compromises you may want to consider
before pursuing spinal cord stimulation; other electrically-based medical
devices, like defibrillators and pacemakers, may not function properly
due to interference from the SCS generator's current. Likewise,
you may not be able to undergo MRI scans while the SCS materials are present,
depending on which manufacturer is chosen..
1 If you have concerns about any such interference, be sure to talk to your
doctor(s) about them before agreeing to undergo spinal cord stimulation
If your debilitating back pain has persisted through numerous treatments
and surgeries, don't give up on seeking professional help for your
condition. If a spinal specialist determines that you are a good candidate
for spinal cord stimulation, this may be the treatment that finally works
to get you back on your feet.
At the
Weill Cornell Medicine Comprehensive Spine Center, our primary concerns are the health of your back and the quality of your
life. Whatever the cause of your injury, whatever the intensity of your
pain, our experienced professional spinal specialists can diagnose your
condition and help you determine the best course of action.

Your LTA Bargaining Team – led by Lisa Rubio (Huerta) and made up of Justin Catalán (Moffett), Gary Moore (LMS), Jim Nadler (LMS) and Andrew Staiano (CTA staff) – met with the district bargaining team today. The district team consists of Dr. Hiacynth Martinez (Chief Personnel Officer), Kevin Franklin (Chief Financial Officer), Polo Marquez (Felton VP) and Steve Andelson (attorney).
Based on conversations with members and the results of the most recent bargaining survey, one of LTA's main objectives today was to reach an understanding with the district aboutpermanentlylowering the cost of health benefits. Because the open enrollment window closed Friday, we knew we had a very limited window of opportunity to come to an agreement lowering the cost of benefits and giving members an opportunity to make changes to their plan choices. We offered to accept the district's estimate of the cost of LTA's benefits proposal as equal to a 1% increase in salary, and to reduce our salary proposal from 5% to 4%. The district rejected this offer, instead proposing to instate LTA's benefits proposalfor one year only,and to increase salary by a mere 0.5% for one year,off the salary schedule. The district resisted all efforts to decouple the discussion of health benefits and salary, and insisted that any agreement today include both benefits and final salary increase amounts. Despite close analysis of the district's cost estimates demonstrating that more money is available, the district held firm to its proposal of one year of health benefits, a one-time 0.5% "bonus," and no permanent salary increase. As much as your LTA Bargaining Team wanted to reach an agreement on benefits today, a one-year respite in health benefit costs coupled with a meager – and temporary – increase to salary is both unacceptable and insulting. We simply could not agree to that. So, sorry folks, it looks like there will be no improvement in health benefits this year.
In regard to other proposals, the districtrejected:
- stipends for combo classes and middle school teachers with 3 or more preps,
- increasing the work year by 7 pupil-free days, stating that there are no plans for professional development beyond June 2017 when the current PD MOU expires,
- continuing elementary PE/planning and the LMS planning period beyond the expiration of the current planning time MOU in June 2017,
- creating permanent super minimum days for scoring,
- maintaining lower class sizes once the current class-size MOU expires in June 2017, and
- lowering special ed case loads.
The district alsomaintainedtheir proposals to:
- allow principals to extend Wednesday meetings until 4 pm to address unspecified "unforeseen circumstances requiring immediate attention,"
- limit the scope of teacher participation in school decision-making via School Leadership Teams, and finally,
- delay reopening the entire contract for renegotiation until 2019, two years later than the contract currently stipulates.
Clearly this has been a disappointing day, particularly with regard to the district's shortsightedness on important issues like health benefits, professional development, planning time and class sizes. It is also clear we will need to step up our efforts to educate the district, school board and community on the importance of these issues and the ways that they benefit not only teachers, but students as well. The district's compulsive focus on the cost of these programs, rather than their benefit to students and teachers, has convinced us that some of these issues will be better dealt with during the next bargaining cycle. We, therefore, made the difficult but strategic decision to postpone further discussion about elementary PE/planning, the LMS planning period, and lower class sizes until early 2017.
Our final proposal of the day:
- offered to drop demands for an increase in health benefits in exchange for a full 5% permanent salary increase (if we can't save people money on benefits, we can at least make up some of the difference in salary),
- maintained demands for stipends for combo classes and middle school teachers with 3 or more preps, and a $40/hour teacher hourly rate,
- proposed increasing the the work year by 5 pupil-free days (which would result in a 2.7% working raise),
- rejected the district's vague proposal for meetings until 4 pm,
- maintained proposals lowering special ed case loads.
Be on the lookout for communications from the Organizing Team in the next few weeks on how you can help support our continuing bargaining efforts.
The two teams are scheduled to meet again September 20 and October 13.

|Re: save/update problem
|Fri, 20 Feb 2004 08:38:37 GMT
You know, it is really amazing how just asking the question can often lead to an answer. It turns out I did not have any key defined for the table I was trying to update. Therefore, no selection criterion were added to the 'selectCriteria' object way down in BaseMyObjPeer.doUpdate. When I added a key to the table and generated new OM classes, lo and behold, a new line showed up in BaseMyObjPeer that looked like this: selectCriteria.put(BIB_NUMBER, criteria.remove(BIB_NUMBER)); thereby providing a non-null keySet() further down in BasePeer.doUpdate. Isn't life strange? Rob ps. I would not be surprised if some of those other save/update problems people have been posting for the last few years were also caused by not definng a key for a table.

Intelligent Energy CEO Harry Bradbury: "In the none-too-distant future people will be able to use a bike like ENV to leave work in an urban environment, drive to the countryside, detach the CORE and attach it to another vehicle, such as a motorboat, before going on to power a log cabin with the very same fuel cell, which could then be re-charged from a mini hydrogen creator, the size of a shoebox."
The latest hydrogen-powered motorcycle was on display at the London Design Museum on March 15, 2005 and the buzz it has created is making waves around the world. The designer of the bike, Nick Talbot of the award-winning British design team Seymourpowell, was recruited by Intelligent Energy to produce this zero-emission marvel that could change the way we look at our favorite two wheeled machines.
The ENV (Emissions Neutral Vehicle) motorcycle is powered by a high pressure hydrogen CORE fuel cell designed by Intelligent Energy and they claim it can reach speeds up to 50 mph. Further revisions are currently in the works that will increase the top speed substantially to make it legal for highway use. The bike has no transmission, instead it utilizes a centrifugal clutch similar to modern scooters, and it can travel up to 100 miles or up to four hours on one fully charged fuel cell.
The CORE fuel cell is about the size of a briefcase and according to Sir John Jennings of Intelligent Technology, can be used to power many more aspects of life beyond just this bike.
"In principle, you can ride your motorcycle to, let us say, your country house," explains Jennings, "you can take out the Core and use the Core to light your house and provide the power which you need to live comfortably in a remote place. It's a demonstration, really, of some of the versatility of this new technology."
The bike itself weighs in at 155 lbs, including the 45 lbs CORE energy unit. The lightweight bike features an aluminum frame wrapped in clean plastic bodywork, aluminum swingarm, mountain bike style brake components and is driven by a slim belt drive and sprocket similar to what you might find on a Harley-Davidson. But unlike your favorite steed, this bike won't be distinguishable by its sound – the big 'problem' the design team is working on right now is improving the audible personality of the bike which sounds something like the fan on your personal computer.
"It is generating an awful lot of interest and it shows one of the many applications that perhaps can be made in the very near future," continues Jennings. "And if there is a spontaneous pick-up of demand, there's no reason why in the next few years we can't see an awful lot of these bikes around."
Indeed the market for an environmentally friendly motorcycle is already in place – and since the ENV motorcycle was designed in both off-road and street versions, there seems to be no limit where this new technology might spread.
Nick Talbot: "On the one hand, it expresses a utopian future vision of 'clean power, anywhere' and on the other, it's an exciting, hard-edged bike and fun to ride."
"ENV is light, fast and fun", says Seymourpowell's Nick Talbot. "It has good ground clearance, great off-road suspension travel and a very carefully considered power to weight ratio. I have ridden motorbikes for years and, in the process of designing the bike, I have become a convert to fuel cell technology. The bike is usable, useful and great-looking. It was important on this project to demonstrate that new technologies don't have to be wrapped up in a dull product – engaging public imagination and enthusiasm is key."
But, don't get your hopes up just yet. The program is only in the prototype stage and although it has struck a chord with environmentally concerned folks around the world, will likely not make its way into production for a few more years… but stranger things have happened.
