INDEPENDENCE | Attorneys for reality TV star Chris Soules have renewed their push to drop leaving-the-scene charges in connection with an April crash that killed an Aurora farmer.
Last week, Judge Andrea Dryer threw out a motion to dismiss the charge, a felony that carries up to five years in prison upon conviction, leaving the case on the docket headed toward trial.
On Wednesday, defense attorney Gina Messamer filed a motion asking the judge to reconsider the ruling.
In the motion, the defense argued that Iowa's hit-and-run law is ambiguous and said the court should follow a due process standard by resolving the ambiguity in favor of the defendant.
"The court acknowledged that the first sentence of Iowa Code 321.263(2) 'cannot be interpreted to require all surviving drivers involved in a fatal accident to remain at the scene endlessly,' because 'that is unreasonable,'" Messamer wrote. "In other words, the court recognized that the plain language of Iowa Code 321.263(2) (is) ambiguous."
The defense has argued that Soules, 36, shouldn't be charged because he called 911 from the scene, identified himself to dispatchers and attempted to aid farmer Kenneth Mosher, 66, until medics arrived.
Prosecutors said Soules left before law enforcement showed up and then refused to exit his rural Arlington home until authorities had obtained a search warrant.
The crash happened on April 24 on Slater Avenue north of Aurora. Authorities said Soules was traveling south and rear ended Mosher's tractor.
Trial in the matter had been scheduled for Jan. 18, but the date has been postponed, and attorneys for both sides will meet on Jan. 29 to determine a new date. Dryer said in court records the trial will begin before May 7.

There will be a lot written over the next two months on the depth and long-term potential of this year's NFL Draft quarterback class. The primary headlines will be that it lacks "immediate starters", that it's not "top heavy" and there are a plethora of developmental options. These are all subjectively true but only time will tell. For now it'll be an ongoing subjective discussion around who looks the part and who will be out of the league in a year or two. What's interesting though is unlike recent years, there is some depth to traditional pro style Quarterbacks and intriguing athletic spread offense Quarterbacks. I wrote about and listed those that surprised or disappointed at the combine earlier today. Jon Gruden also published an synopsis of the top 7 prospects after the top 2 (Goff & Wentz).
My way too early prediction is we'll see 3 QB's selected in round 1 (Wentz @2, Goff @7 and Lynch in the 20's), then a handful of guys selected in rounds 3-5 (Cook, Hackenberg, Kessler, Prescott, Hogan among this group) who will be selected to be developmental backup types in the near term. What everybody agrees with is outside of Goff, none of these QB's should be expected to contribute in '16.

Working through its industry partners and government, The Green Blue Project has promulgated its Environmental Code of Practice to advise marine related businesses, sailing clubs, and training centers on the interaction of environmental regulations and good business management. Key contributors to the document are the British Marine Federation (BMF), Royal Yacht Association (RYA), and United Kingdom Environmental Agencies.
Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
The Environmental Code of Practice is founded on the premise that boating's use of the coastal waterfront and inland waters must be sustainable, that is development of boating needs in the present do not compromise use of natural resources by others in the future. Use of an Environmental Management System (EMS) by a marine related entity ensures that the organization complies with national environmental policies.
The starting point for implementation of a EMS is the development of an Environmental Policy Statement that outlines company recognition of environmental issues and actions to be taken in mitigating these concerns. There are at least two immediate benefits of adopting a policy statement; the first is active communication of an organization's commitment to the environment, and secondly, a positive means of inadvertently violating environmental regulations.
Code sponsors make the case that utilizing the standard make good business sense. Arguments include prevention or reduction of future legislation through self-governance, direct operational savings through good management practices, improvements to organizational reputation, and preserving the boating environment for future users and customers. The Environmental Code of Practice identifies some key boating issues with the environment and offers practical solutions to mitigate them.
Key Boating Environmental Issues and Their Solutions
- Resource Efficiency – Resources in a business can take on a number of forms. Efficient use of energy, paper and water, reducing and managing solid wastes, preventing pollution from sources like anti-fouling paint, and transportation use can save money and help the environment
- Waste Management – Marine activities generate solid and liquid wastes. Much of the handling of these operational byproducts determines whether they can be recycled or ultimately become hazardous wastes. Reducing wastes and recycling wastes helps protect the environment and reduce costs for landfill disposal
- Managing Oils, Fuels, and Hazardous Materials – Releases of fuel and oil have a direct and negative impact on the marine environment. There are Best Management Practices (BMP) available for fuel storage and dispensing that greatly reduce the risk of harmful spills. Practices associated with boat washdown, cleaning and maintenance also reduce environmental impacts and lower the levels of hazardous wastes entering marine ecosystems
- Pontoons, Pilings and Moorings, and Slipways – Design and construction of vessel moorings effects their useable lifespan and their impact on the environment. There are design standards in place that can help lessen mooring facility maintenance and mitigate installation of new moorings
- Habitat and Water Management – Boat and mooring facility management can cause negative effects on the marine ecosystem. There are many means that industry can take like avoiding sensitive habitats and controlling nuisance weeds that can improve habitat
- Flood Risk Management – Moorings along inland waters are subject to flooding and owners can take measures like clearing culverts, preventing obstructions to water flow, and removing debris that can mitigate the risk of flooding
- Sewage and Waste Water Management – Sewage affects the natural demand for oxygen and can cause harmful algae blooms. Decomposing algae creates dead zones where other aquatic wildlife cannot survive. Proper treatment and disposal of waster water is necessary to protect marine ecosystems
Boating industry organizations should consider formulating an Environmental Policy Statement and communicating it to their customers and employees. The Green Blue Environmental Code of Practice is a perfect place to begin this important effort.

the last post i wrote about taran blew up with page views, so lets do it again, yes? just givin' the people what they want. ;)
1. he's a fiiiiine specimen. and its not just me who thinks this. people pull me aside and tell me "you're boyfriend is cute!" this has been happening the entire time we have been together. and when we are out and about, the ladies always look him up and down. and then i go over and slap 'em in the face and rip out their hair and say "keep your eyes to yourself, woman!" no, not really. but i want to.
2. hes is uber supportive. oh, you want to try doing stand up? you should do that, you'd be great at it. you would like to work in politics someday? you should do that. you want to be in the FBI? cool. you want to do competitive shooting? that sounds awesome. i could go on and on.
3. he loves my niecephews almost as much as i do. he is so great with kids. he has 8 niecephews of his own and is a pro with the kiddos. my nephew eli has especially taken a liking to him. he adores taran. when we come over and i walk in without taran, eli immediately says "where's taran?" and once he walks through the door, it is downstairs to play, per eli's demand. eli is glued to taran's side when he's around. his favorite is when taran throws him on the couch. "do it again, taran!" ugh, melts my freakin' heart.
4. "the more time i spend around him, the more i really like that guy." um, yeah, he's awesome. the majority of people who meet him say this. it is impossible not to like taran. he is the most likeable guy you will ever meet.
5. he is honest. the man literally cannot lie. which is a great thing! he can't even do white lies, like when i ask him questions about what he is going to do for my birthday and he just tells me because he can't lie. i've learned to not ask questions about surprises if i want it to be a surprise.
6. fuuuunny. i never laugh more than when i am with him. he was telling me a joke when we were at the swings at a park one day, and i was laughing so hard i nearly fell off the swing. and i was crying. yes. that is definitely someone i want to be around.
7. he is comforting. no one else in the entire world knows how to comfort me better than he does. he knows just what to say and can make me go from hysterical to calm real fast.
8. he spills food on his clothes. and it isn't just once in a while, it is literally everyday. i have never ever ever seen him without food on his shirt of pants. sigh. i can't take that boy anywhere, can i? truth be told, i think its kind of endearing.
9. he hates exercise. and i love it so he goes the to gym with me anyway. what a sweetheart. refer to #2.
10. he is not a complainer. don't you just hate being around people who are? granted, its difficult to know when something is bothering him. good thing i can read that face.
sheesh. that was a lot of cheese. gross.
i just have to post this picture again because i love it so much.
i just have to post this picture again because i love it so much.

It's been a long time since the last release of Ardour, and there's still no schedule or even vague sense of when the next release might appear. I (Paul) felt that our users, and particularly our subscribers, deserved some information about what is and has been going on with development over the last 8 months. I had promised to do this back in December, and it is now long overdue.
Sat, 28 Apr 2018 23:55:01 +0000
Ardour founder Paul Davis sat down recently with Darwin Grosse of Cycling 74 (Max) to talk about the program, his own personal history, audio technology, software platforms and a whole lot more besides. It's roughly an hour long, and Paul reports that he was unusually satisfied with what he managed to say during this chat.
You can find it at Darwin's Art & Music & Technology podcast: https://artmusictech.libsyn.com/podcast-214-paul-davis-ardour
Quite possibly worth taking a listen to Darwin's chat with Andrew Belt of VCVRack too ... full list of episodes here: https://artmusictech.libsyn.com/

Ardour began its life 18 years ago, in late December 1999. The story has been told many times in many different places, but the gist of it is that I wanted a program something like ProTools that would run on Linux, and none existed. I decided to write one. I had little idea what would be involved, of course. Which was probably for the best, otherwise I would likely not have started.
Mon, 25 Dec 2017 00:36:14 +0000
It's Christmas 2017, and many people in the Ardour community and beyond may be wondering what is happening with Ardour right now. It's been several months since our last release, and there's no word on what is going on.
Between now and the (Gregorian) New Year, I'll be posting 3 articles about where Ardour has been, where we are heading and the financial aspects of the project.
For now, I will just note that we're mostly focused on really substantive (wide-ranging, deep and difficult) internal architectural changes that will (over time) make a lot of other stuff possible. There's absolutely no timeline for the next release at this point, and the work is hard enough that in general we're trying not to get diverted by bug reports and small feature requests.
Stay tuned for a history and a glimpse of where 2018 might take Ardour ...
Fri, 15 Sep 2017 22:16:40 +0000
Ardour 5.12 is now available.
Although when Ardour 5.11 was released, we expected a significant gap until 6.0 will be announced, enough notable features and fixes accumulated that it seemed better for us to push out a 5.12 release before we embark on the major code changes that will mark the real start of the development process for 6.0.
Much of the work in this release was sponsored by Harrison Consoles.
Two of the most notable new features are the improvements in functionality to the new session and new track/bus dialogs, which now offer much easier and more powerful ways to use templates. These include dynamic "track wizard" templates that allow you to interactively setup sessions and/or groups of new track/busses very quickly and very easily. This builds on the new template manager dialog introduced in 5.11, and a new less obvious feature: the ability to create dynamic templates with Lua scripts.
Also notable is the new patch selection dialog for MIDI tracks/instruments, which provides an easy and convenient way to preview patches in software and hardware instruments. Naturally, it integrates fully with Ardour's support for MIDNAM (patch definition files), so you will named programs/patches for both General MIDI synths and those with MIDNAM files.
Read full details below ...
Wed, 16 Aug 2017 18:32:54 +0000
We are pleased to announce the availability of Ardour 5.11. Like 5.10, this is primarily a bug-fix release, though it also includes VCA automation graphical editing, a new template management dialog and various other useful new features.
Read more below for the full list of features, improvements and fixes.
Thu, 15 Jun 2017 13:40:15 +0000
We are pleased to announce the availability of Ardour 5.10. This is primarily a bug-fix release, with several important fixes for recent selection/cut/copy/paste regressions along with fixes for many long standing issues large and small.
This release also sees the arrival of VCA slave automation, along with improvements in overall VCA master/slave behaviour. There are also significant extensions to Ardour's OSC support.
Read more below for the full list of features, improvements and fixes.
Mon, 15 May 2017 15:54:14 +0000
Ardour 5.9 is now available, representing several months of development that spans some new features and many improvements and fixes.
Among other things, some significant optimizations were made to redraw performance on OS X/macOS that may be apparent if you are using Ardour on that platform. There were further improvements to tempo and MIDI related features and lots of small improvements to state serialization. Support for the Presonus Faderport 8 control surface was added (see the manual for some quite thorough documentation).
As usual, there are also dozens or hundreds of other fixes based on continuing feedback from wonderful Ardour users worldwide.
Read more below for the full list of features, improvements and fixes.
Tue, 28 Feb 2017 12:33:35 +0000
Although Ardour 5.6 contained some really great new features and important fixes, it turned out to contain a number of important regressions compared to 5.5. Some were easily noticed and some were more obscure. Nobody is happy when this happens, and we apologize for any frustration or issues that arose from inadequate testing of 5.6.
To address these problems, we are making a quick "hotfix" release of Ardour 5.8, which also brings the usual collection of small features and other bug fixes.
Linux distributions are asked to immediately and promptly replace 5.6 with 5.8 to reduce issues for Ardour users who get the program directly via their software management tools.
Read more below for full details ...

Feel the difference. Within minutes, the liquid vitamins enter the bloodstream and begin fueling your mind and body for superior mental and physical energy and health. No stomachache. No stimulants. Simply vitamins in delicious fruit flavors so they taste as powerful as you'll feel.
As a pescatarian I use this sometimes to boost my B-12 levels that may be low due to my dietary shifts.
Keeps me energized the whole day, the only draw back is that I crash pretty hard, which stinks.
Does this really help with energy? Being a mother to a one year old requires a lot of energy sometimes and I really need something that will actually work for me but isn't bad for me did this do good for anyone or is it a waste of money?
Does this help with energy? Does it taste good?

One of current and favorite projects at Deb Reinhart Interior Design Group is a basement remodel of a cottage home located in the North Chicago suburbs. The first phase of the basement, featured on today's blog, is a unique floor installation.
We have selected a charming pebble rock tile for half of the basement (kitchen, dining room & bathroom). The remainder of the basement is a beautiful gray epoxy concrete which can withstand the rigorous use of an active young family.
To achieve the mix of color on the rock floor, we ordered 2 colors of river rock mounted on mesh backing which makes the installation achievable with the least amount labor.
The photo shown here shows our official "helpers":) River rock is being removed by the family children from the mesh backing and scattered into the taupe rock for the professionals to "set in stone" the final color mix. Thanks to them for assisting us in a custom river rock basement floor!
This floor treatment allows us to meet code requirements of ceiling height and protects the basement floor in the event of water damage.

Our next Treat the Troops packing is April 27, 7:00, at VFW Post 9140, 1045 Dahlonega HWY, Cumming GA 30040. If you are sending cookies, please pack them 6/bag that is tied at the top. You can also send individually bagged chips, gum, magazines, etc. It is always wonderful to send something to the special people!!
Another project that we can hopefully move forward with is Operation Smile. Internationally, doctors donate their time and expertise to correct cleft palates or cleft lips in children who are born with this. Approximately 1 in 700 children across the globe have twice the odds of dying because of this birth defect before their first birthday.
Operation Smile is an organization that provides gowns , treat bags, etc. to assist children and families who are facing these surgeries. Our club has already collected a quantity of fabric to use to make the products to send to Operation Smile. We are tentatively planning to schedule a "project "day to make products we can send to Operation Smile.
Since we all have special talents…it seems best to have some people cut fabric, some can measure and press seams, and some can sew the gowns and treat bags. Hopefully, we can find a suitable date that a number of people can attend and we can make many products to send so some little children will be more comfortable and happy following their cleft palate surgery!

3 months post op
September 1, 2016
Tripawds is a user-supported community. Thank you for your support!
Well I'm a few days late with my blog, but on the 26th of August we celebrated Zuki's 3 month ampuversary! Wwwaayyy 🙂 We had a wonderful family picnic in a beautiful spot not far from our house. Zuki loved being out with everyone, being leader of his pack, it was like the good old days. In the last month I would say I have noticed a significant increase in Zuki's stamina. We haven't really done any specific rehabilitation, I had enquired about physio, but my vet said he never normally made a referral so I thought I'd see how we got on. For us, I think normal day to day activity is enough. Between moving around the house, getting in and out of the car, manoeuvring around whilst on walks and handling the differing terrains his body has adapted without too much intervention. He now manages comfortably a 15min loop we do, its flat and a gravel track (so easier than on the sand on the beach for example). I'm not sure what happens next though, will he continue to grow stronger and in another 3 months we'll be doing 30min walks, or is this his max? Quite honestly though I don't care, I didn't expect life would be this normal when I looked into our future before the amputation. I genuinely couldn't ask for more for my boy, he's happy and seems healthy and that's all I care about.
Today (as I write this) Zuki is in having round 4 of 5 of his chemo. He was supposed to have it last week but unfortunately the vet couldn't get a clean entry for the IV. You can see the 3 patches they've shaved on his legs to try and get the vein. It makes perfect sense now I've had it explained but when putting in the IV for the chemo it has to be on the first needle, otherwise the medication may leak through the holes created in the veins and damage the surrounding tissue. Apparently it wasn't anything to do with Zuki's veins (I was worried he may have been dehydrated or something) just a new vet who didn't quite get it right. I'm not sure if its a luck thing or lack of experience by the vet, my normal vet was off getting married! How inconsiderate! So anyway we had to wait an additional week to allow the vein to heal and Peter is back today so I'm hoping we get this under our belts today. Then just one more dose, I'm really excited as I hate all these vet visits. Zuki is pretty good with the vets and seems to take it all in his stride, but its the constant reminder that he has cancer….
He truly is an inspiration to me, when we're not in and out of the vets I can quite easily forget all about the C word, even with Zuki hoping around, I know he's not dwelling on it and that's infectious, we all just crack on, living life and loving each other! So much love for this boy xx

Some people love DIY projects. From putting in a new floor to painting the entire the house, these folks persevere no matter what. That's great but what about when it comes to DIY websites and templates. These can be websites or templates that are already created but require a few tweaks here and there (think WordPress templates). What happens when you're not thrilled with the color the schemes? How do you change them? What about font and line spacing? There's nothing worse than small font that you can't read!
Web design can leave freelance writers feeling lightheaded. It's overwhelming if you don't know what you're doing. Perhaps you don't know what "HTML h1 to h6 tag" are. What about CSS style sheets? The thought of this language may leave you feeling defeated.
Freelance writers who understand HTML could "tweak" templates without any problem. But they may not be exactly what you want, especially color schemes. Sometimes you can't upload a custom logo because you don't understand how to do it. This can be frustrating.
Where to find templates
If you're lucky, you'll find a template that was created by a web designer who was thoughtful to include "instructions or "Read Me" text. Sometimes designers will include their email address and website. You'll be able to contact them if you have any problems.
If you're thinking about creating a web design from scratch, make sure you know what you're getting into before you proceed. Hiring a web designer may be more ideal for you if the thought of web coding makes you swoon. There are many web design tutorials on the internet. If you feel up to it, design or redesign your website. Good luck!

"You shouldn't have done that," Greg said as he walked down the stairs with a tray of subsistence. "Pat says when you behave you can entertain this," he added.
His hands were moving now, over my shoulders, the length of my isolated, my ray tingling beneath his hint. In activate, I responded, emboldened nearby that kiss, by way of my heady desire, my own fingers sliding lower to his waist and dipping beneath the elastic of his boxer shorts. I heard his soft groan against my lips, one hand coming down to join mine, helping me to push the fabric down and away, freeing him from the confines of his underwear.

Wow im sorry for this email in advance but it is going too be sad and short because honestly nothing really happened this week! Monday Elder Park and I went fishing and caught about 6-8 fish in total! It was a good day of that! Tuesday was a boring day because we went too T-City and had no luck whatsoever! We knocked on 20 doors and only 1 person answered in a neighborhood! It was sad and we kept going and nobody answered! Even though no one answered, we kept going! Wednesday Elder Park and I started up a Book of Mormon class! It went really well and 4 people showed up! 4 dosent sound like a lot, but it is here in Alabama! After we did the class, we just helped out branch members with whatever they needed help with that were in the Church! Thursday Elder Park and I spent the morning studying and then we packed up our bedding and mattresses and left for Monte Sano! Yes I said mattresses! Some how we managed to fit both of them into our Toyota Carola! It was funny driving around with all of that in our car! Once we reached Monte Sano, we did a little exchange and I went with Elder Larson too visit some referrals! None of the referrals wanted too talk with us so we went to T-City and talked with a Church of Christ minister! The dude was super nice and was happy we were going around talking about Jesus too people. He said that both Mormons and Church of Christ's beliefs were the same, besides modern day revelation and miracles. He told us that if we could bless him and take away his ailments and make him whole that he would give us his house and all of his property. It was kind of funny cause first off we wouldn't do that because he basically wants too test God. I don't know if he has read lately, but the last time people wanted too test God like he wanted too they were either struck dumb or dead... So yea haha! After that we went to The Mart (Southern for Walmart y'all!) and did some store contacting there! No luck there! After that we drove to the Sparkman Elder's apartment because we were going too spend the night there! We had about 10 Elders in an apartment all at once! It was packed, but boy did we have fun! I got my hair cut which was good and so did some other Elders! Right as I was about too go to bed, my trainer and another Elder looked at me and holding a lighter said "Young one, we must mark you with a burn!" I didn't know they were kidding, but as soon as the Elder who wasnt my trainer walked towards me I went into fight mode! Shout out to Kristian for wrestling me cause as soon as he came near me, I put him in a head lock and went down and held him there! My trainer was laughing and decided to try too pull me off the other Elder and didn't have the best of luck! The other Elder still had the lighter in his hand so I grabbed it and accidentally snapped the metal part of it and we all stopped, looked at the lighter, and all laughed super hard! It was so funny and we all needed a laugh that night! Friday was the Christmas Party! I got too see Elder Ravenberg and Elder Whetten, my MTC district Elders again! It was awesome to see where they were at with their mission and catch up with them! We had a huge feast and a telent show and a movie for the whole party! It was good too relax for that day! After the party Elder Park and I went to a Christmas festival in Huntsville to help answer questions about our church! It was a good festival, but there were bashers that showed up and tried too "save our souls from going too Hell!" They knew what they were doing and had rehearsed it before and we just were like we will answer you're questions, but we are both christian and Christ wouldn;t want us or you to come into another person's church and tell them they are wrong! They all left after the festival was over. Saturday we did service for a branch member and again went to the festival in Huntsville because these branch members wanted us to go with them! So we went again and it was just as good! No bashers this time! As we were driving hoe, we got a call from one of the AP's. They called too let Elder Park and I know that we both would be staying in Scottsboro for another 7 weeks! It was awesome to hear that because this means I get too stay for 14 weeks! I was relieved to hear that I get to spend my birthday and Christmas in Scottsboro with branch members who love their Elders! Sunday was just church and eating with branch members! Love all of you guys and hope everyone is doing well! Ive got time too email so if you want too shoot a quick email, ill be here too reply! Stay safe and CHRISTMAS IS NEXT WEEK WHAT THE OH YEA!!!!!!!

As the Taylor Swift-Kanye West feud powers endlessly on, the 'Blank Space' singer has reiterated that she did not OK West's diss track against her.
It comes after Kim Kardashian West claimed that Taylor "totally gave the okay" for West to refer to her as a "bitch" in his song 'Famous', adding: "She totally knew that that was coming out."
Kim also alleged that there was recorded proof of the conversation between Kanye and Taylor, and claimed Taylor's team sent a legal notice telling the rapper that he could not use the recording.
Taylor denied the allegations in a statement, calling Kim's claims "incorrect".
However, now a legal letter claimed to have been seen by The Sun alleges that Taylor's lawyers ordered the audio tape of the phone call, which was known to exist, be destroyed.
The singer has hit back once again in response, issuing the same statement, here in full: "Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West.
"However, that does not change the fact that much of what Kim is saying is incorrect. Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since.
"Taylor has never denied that conversation took place. It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do.
"Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term, "that bitch" in referencing her. A song cannot be approved if it was never heard. Kanye West never played the song for Taylor Swift. Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated.
"Kim Kardashian's claim that Taylor and her team were aware of being recorded is not true, and Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone."
The saga continues…

There's something exciting about witnessing a complete transformation of something old into something new. From dilapidated buildings to classic cars and from busted furniture to broken lives, the "before" and "after" shots are amazing. We begin to think, "Maybe there's a set of 'before' and 'after' pictures for my life. Maybe, just maybe, what's broken in my life can be fixed." Here's the great news. Even in the messiness of life, God is in the business of restoration. It's what He does.
In the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome, chapters 1-5 reveal the first act of God's story of restoration. God comes right into the middle of our running and rebellion and offers hope. That hope comes in Jesus Christ as He takes the crushing burden on the cross for our rebellion and running in the "great exchange." He pays the price. We receive new life. He shows us the "before" and "after" pictures and promises to walk with us during the whole "in between" process. I want to personally invite you to a new 5-week series to see what the "before" and "after" pictures might look like in your life. Come experience Restoration. I also encourage you to invite a friend or family member that needs to meet and know the God who makes restoration possible.
Here's the line-up for the series:
October 7 – Salvage Squad (We'll talk about the God of restoration who salvages broken lives, broken relationships, and a broken world)
October 14 – Wear & Tear (We'll talk about why our lives, relationships, and world are broken)
October 21 – Scrapheap (We'll talk about why we need Jesus' help to restore what is broken)
October 28 – Overhaul (We'll talk about being stalled and stuck in the 'messy middle' of restoration)
November 4 – Extreme Makeover (We'll talk about hope and new life that Jesus brings in restoring us)
For more info on Northshore's worship gatherings, go here.
I look forward to seeing you at Northshore during this series, and I can't wait to hear the stories about how Jesus restores broken lives, broken relationships, and a broken world.

What is the fastest quickest way of losing weight and triggering fat loss instead of muscle loss, without touching weights.
Lets, i drop the amount of calories to half of what i need a day. Spread out my meals to four meals a day.
Is there a certain ratio of food intake that seems to trigger fat loss?
Lets say, i'm eating 1200 calories a day, would 50%protein30%carbs20%fat trigger more fat loss then a 60%carbs20%protein20%fat ratio.
I hear, that carbs seems to trigger fat storage, and that sugar's carbs tend get in the way of fat burning, protein seems to keep and maintain a metabolism, since it's low in sugars, it tend to trigger fat to be used as energy. But protein makes people tend to feel full?, then why are fat cells being triggered to be used as energy? If the body doesn't feel like it needs energy?
Any suggestions?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Every sports fan knows that having a training in uncomfortable clothes makes no sense. As it is necessary
for your favorite activity to be effective and enjoyable, you have to forget about misfitted clothes,
found somewhere at the very bottom of your wardrobe. Luckily, designers are offering more and
more tracksuits made of fine fabrics and available in a number of colors. While producing the
women`s tracksuits found in SakoLife online shop, tailors put extraordinary focus on detail
and the seams connecting the materials. Thanks to this approach, we can admit that these
hoodies and trousers are made precisely. Among the women`s tracksuits we offer
there are blouses and pants which can be bought separately. It means that we give
our customers a chance to customize their own training outfit so that is meets their
needs in 100%. However, those of them who wish to wear matched training attire can
make use of one of countless sets of women`s tracksuits, also available with skirts.

Perfect Place for Ceramic Decorative Plate Lovers
If you are absolutely crazy about anything related to ceramic plates and their decoration, then you will surely enjoy this. If you are thinking of olden style of ceramic decorative plates, just forget it. There is a whole new style and formal pattern for ceramic plates today. The most interesting aspect of ceramic plates is how they are made. If you took notice of how ceramic plates are made somewhere, then the art is sure to impress you.
I will share some common tips on decorating and will teach you methods to give ceramic plates a beautiful and artistic feel. Some people may use flowers on the ceramic plates, but realize that you need a lot of patience to make just two small flowers on a plate. However, flowers on ceramic plates so seem slightly feminine. Ceramic painting has alwaysheld a tinge of culture mixed with ancient traditions from the past. In fact, anthropology can often find hints to culture and the development of mankind on them.
Decorating ceramic plates is often addictive to people, because it does not require any special qualifications or experience to do. However, you need to have a creative, artistic mind to fill in the empty space on the plate with vibrant colors and patterns. Children can pick up the art up quickly in their free time. Through this art one can improve patience as well as concentration which is handy for everyone. There are just a few materials needed when decorating ceramic plates.
I recommend that people try decorating a ceramic plate at least once. When you begin decorating, it will allow you to relax your mind and get away from many of the things causing you tension. You will need a few items to begin decorating. First, you have to get an unglazed ordinary ceramic plate. However, if your kid is going to decorate a ceramic plate, then you have to make sure that you are keeping an eye on your kid. You can always decorate your plates according to your kitchen color schemes and other arrangements. To decorate the plate, you have to keep some things ready. Remember to keep ceramic paints close by because they are the second most important item after the plate.
Keep a pencil or a stencil close by for drawing lines or markings. Additional things you need to decorate the plate include palettes, brushes, ceramic pens and an oven. The ceramic pens are optional. Prior to painting start by cleaning the plate and dry it, then it is time to start decorating.
Choose a design from anything you want. However, start by choosing a simple design if it is your first time. You can use the pencil to draw some rough outlines of the design on the plate. Use a stencil if you cannot draw it freehand. Take a small amount of the ceramic paint on the section of the plate you want to color. Place the colors carefully, as they may mix with one another causing problems. If you have used a pencil, then trace the paint along the pencil lines.
Begin with painting in larger areas first then move on to the smaller ones. Keep patient while painting the plate. Even a minute's lapse of concentration can cause you problems. So avoid distractions while painting. You will need to let the paint settle down a bit and then apply another coat of paint on it. Be careful to apply the second coat only after the first coat dries.
Use a fine brush to fill in the smaller details in the plate. Another option is a ceramic pen. Once the plate is painted, the last step is to bake the plate. You have to bake the plate in the oven according to the instructions of the paint manufacturer. This is very important, any mistake while baking can destroy the plate. One additional tip, ensure that your plate is waterproof before painting otherwise the paint on the plate could wash off.

A apocalypse, that Kalki will bring about the destruction of the world when mankind has completely abandoned religion, "when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word."
Kalki is the final incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, who is predicted to come "like a comet and carry a terrifying sword for bringing about the annihilation of the wicked barbarian men at the end of the Kali-yuga" (Sri Dasavatara Stotra, 10th Sloka).
Kalki as Vajimukha (horse-faced). ( CC BY-SA 4.0 )
The Kali-yuga
According to Hindu belief, universal time is comprised of four great periods, or yugas: Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga, Dvapara-yuga, and Kali-yuga. Currently, humans are living through the Kali-yuga period, which is roughly 432,000 years long. This period began after the Battle of Kuruksetra during the end of the reign of King Pariksit, some 5,000 years ago. Therefore, there are approximately 427,000 years of the Kali-yuga left before…

My Manager wants to enter me in the teacher award contest. I took your
conference in Ocean City, MD. USA Spring 2007. From the confidence I got
there I developed a deep water program for the first time in the county. It
has been a great success. Also, My seniors are getting so much stronger. I
actually have a letter from one lady who credits the "falling to recover"
for saving her from going through a window when she fell. She sent it to the Executive Director and we received many praises. Thanks so much for your
great conference.

Orlando — Maybe someday Glades Day running back Kelvin Taylor will be stopped.
It just wasn't Friday.
The freshman rushed for 213 yards on 42 carries and four touchdowns to lead the Gators to a 27-20 overtime victory against Warner Christian for the Class 1B state championship at the Citrus Bowl.
It was the fifth state title for the Glades Day and first since 2006.
Glades Day (12-2) had the ball first in the overtime and it wasn't hard to guess who got the ball. Three straight carries by Taylor and he was in for touchdown. His final carry a hard leg-driving three yards for the score.
"I just trusted my eyes and pounded it in there," Taylor said.
J.T. Thornton sealed the victory intercepting Eagles quarterback Shelton Willis at the Gators six.
"Kelvin ran his heart out," Glades Day coach Pete Walker said. "Thank God he's on our football team."
Though Taylor longest run on the day was only 21 yards, his 42 carries tied a state finals record set in 1972.
"I just wanted to be patient and let everything come to me," Taylor said. "That's what I did and that's how the game went."
Taylor's first two touchdowns came on runs of 4 and 5 yards, giving his team a 12-7 after three quarters.
Warner retook the lead on a 22-yard pass from Shelton Willis to Sharod Williams with 9:34 left. The Eagles caught Glades sleeping when Williams looked to run off the field for a substitute. He stayed on the field and was left unmarked for the 13-12 lead.

Currently, lithium-ion batteries are the gold standard for energy storage in our electronics and electric cars, but for a long time researchers have believed that lithium-sulfur batteries would become an even better choice because of their high energy density compared to their weight and now with a new breakthrough in the technology, it appears they were right. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee have developed a lithium-sulfur battery that stores four times as much energy as a lithium-ion battery and is also cheaper to make and safer.
As researchers have been working on lithium-sulfur batteries, the one major problem they faced was with the liquid electrolyte being used. The liquid electrolyte was highly conductive, but the downside was that it also caused the battery to break down prematurely, which has kept the technology from moving forward. The Oak Ridge team were able to overcome the problem by using a solid electrolyte instead.
"This game-changing shift from liquid to solid electrolytes eliminates the problem of sulfur dissolution and enables us to deliver on the promise of lithium-sulfur batteries," said Chengdu Liang, the lead author of the study. "Our battery design has real potential to reduce cost, increase energy density and improve safety compared with existing lithium-ion technologies."
The researchers used a new class of sulfur-rich materials to create the solid electrolyte and the cathode for the battery. The elemental sulfur they used is an industrial byproduct of petroleum processing, which keeps costs low and also opens up a way to use a waste stream for something beneficial.

Hi everyone! I'm Emma!
I am a conservation biologist who loves to travel while writing about/filming my experiences. I am currently working for the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation rewilding the Seychelles Aldabra giant tortoise as a means of restoring ecosystem services that were lost after the disappearance of the native Mascarenes giant tortoises. I am therefore very excited to talk on my blog and YouTube channel about my local patch, the uninhabited Round Island, Mauritius which is off limits to the public and requires a strict quarantine procedure to get onto the island.
My love for sharing stories from the natural world led me to create my own multimedia website in 2015 with the aim of getting a new generation interested in wildlife in this new age of digital media. So be sure to follow my YouTube channel and blog to join me on my adventures!

Norwegian Christmas Star Craft
Paper (Almost any kind of paper will work for this craft.) A 12″ x 12″ scrapbook paper sheet from a dollar store works perfect.
Eraser (If you plan to make mistakes.)
Glue (I used a fast dry liquid.)
String (To hang.)
Optional: You may want to use some clothes pins or paper clips to hold the ends you glue until they have dried.
Use a sheet of scrapbook paper that is 12″ x 12″ (purchased in a pkg from a dollar store).
Using a ruler I measured out 12 strips that are 12 inches long and 3/4″ wide.
If you want to make an ornament sized star, make all 12 strips 6 inches long and only 1/2″ wide.
You have a lot of flexibility when making this paper craft, so measure strips for the size of star you wish to have.
Once you have measured 12 equal sized, cut them out.
Take 6 of your 12 strips and weave them as shown:
Lay out 3 strips. Weave in a strip "over-under-over". Weave the 3rd strip "over-under-over". It should look like the photo. Ensure the point where the strip intersects it at the center
Glue the strips together where they overlap. Take 2 strips and twist the ends together. Secure with glue.
Continue joining the corner stips until all 4 are done. Leave the center strips
Now take your other 6 strips and repeat the same process as above until you have 2 that look like.

The Experts Speak
Dining on the Riviera: A Selection of the Best
Choices to Satisfy, Whether You Are Seeking Luxury or the Charm of a Beachside Lunch
Part of the experience of staying on the Côte d'Azur is trying different restaurants. Be choosy, however, because a number of acclaimed restaurants on this coast seem to rest on their laurels and trade on reputations we feel are no longer warranted. We're thinking of L'Oasis and Le Bacon (overrated and overpriced, though handy for the Hôtel du Cap Eden-Roc). Rampoldi is a long-time Monaco institution, but last time we visited we were underwhelmed. Tetou, in Golfe Juan, is another case in point. It's been around since 1920 -- but €80 (in cash, for they don't take credit cards) for the bouillabaisse?...

Te-hehe Oh, I am going to have fun with this one. I've already written a couple of chapters, and I'll probably post every four or five days. Okay, this is going to be rather AU because Ginny and Harry have somehow never met, but Ginny and Hermione have. I know, it doesn't make much sense, but hey! That's the way alternate universe stories go, right? Oh, and I also realize that wizards don't have television, but this is several years after the actual books are set, so I will assume that they have their own sort of television now and are copying shows that we watch. It's kind of a willful suspension of disbelief kind of thing. You can say "but that's not how it is" as much as you want, but I still say it's happening that way! hehehe By the way, I've never watched one of these types of reality shows before, so don't expect it to actually follow any of the lines that they usually go along. I'm making this up as I go along.
I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it! Please review. The first couple of chapters are short, and I suppose that I could have linked them all together, but this way, I get to hold you in suspense for a while –evil grins- Enjoy!
Chapter; The First
Reality Bites
Ginny stared blankly at the crisp white parchment in her hands. "What is this?" Hermione came to look over her shoulder and snatched the letter from Ginny's hands with a loud squeal.
"This is incredible! I just knew they'd pick you!" she turned and hugged Ginny tightly. Ginny stood there bewildered, her hands still in the same position they had been in when there had been a letter in her grasp.
"Would you like to tell me what in the name of all things muggle is going on here?"
Hermione quieted down abruptly and had the decency to blush. "Okay now, don't get mad but I saw this add in Witches Weekly a couple of weeks ago for a new reality show. They needed witches between the ages of 18 and 26, which you obviously are, and I had to send in a bunch of other information too." Ginny's eyes widened dangerously. "Don't worry. I know enough about you to have answered all the questions correctly. And apparently, you're exactly what they were looking for. " Hermione added brandishing the letter.
Ginny only slumped into a chair. "Please tell me you're kidding." Hermione only shook her head. "It's not one of those eat-worms and hate-everyone-on-your-team type of reality shows where I'm going to make a fool of myself and get voted off on the first day, is it?"
"No, no. Of course not! Who do you think I am? No, it's…it's a…dating type show."
"Oh bugger it! You mean the show where there are two dozen girls vying for the attention of one guy who keeps kicking off all the decent girls because they aren't easy or don't flatter him enough. Please tell me you're kidding! This is a nightmare!" Hermione said nothing, just stood looking at the floor. Ginny thought she saw a smile and figured it was very wise of Hermione to try and hide it. If Ginny could prove there was a smile hidden she'd likely hex Hermione. "Why the blazes didn't you send in your own information?"
Hermione looked up quickly. "You know I couldn't possibly take off that much time from work, and you're between jobs, so it's perfect."
"Like you said, I'm between jobs, Hermione, which means I should be looking for a job, not hiding from cameras and listening to girls talk about snogging a guy we've only known for two weeks! This is ridiculous!"
"Look," said Hermione sternly in her no-nonsense voice. "You've been pining away in this apartment for two and a half months. You and Neville are no longer together, so you might as well live like you aren't!" Ginny glared at Hermione defensively. "Ginny, you need to get over him. It's not healthy."
"Fine. If I go on this show will you give me a break?"
Hermione smiled sweetly. "Of course I will. I'll give you about a two and a half week break. While you're off hiding from cameras, listening to girls talk about snogging a guy they hardly know and going on dates with an incredibly eligible bachelor."
"I think I'm either going to laugh, cry, scream, vomit…or kill you."
"Why don't you just laugh," Hermione said, patting Ginny's arm. "Less traumatic that way."

It really is all about power…
I have said this about anyone who is entrenched in the power structure in Washington DC but it is more applicable to the liberals than anyone else: it is not about solving problems it is about controlling our lives. Our elected officials and bureaucrats in federal government want to power more than anything else and that does include solving problems. Look at every problem they have claimed to address from economic issues to societal any qualities to the deficit, it doesn't matter none of those problems have gotten better by their own admission. And since the election of Donald Trump we have seen those on the left side of the aisle including many Republicans fight the president tooth and nail to prevent him from draining the swamp.
Pres. Trump has held a large number of meetings with different constituencies. The common theme among all of those meetings is how impressed the attendees are with Pres. Trump. Even those who disagree with him philosophically have said that they believe he listened to them and took their advice to heart and that he truly wants to address the issues and solve the problems. So if you are a member of a group that is invited to the White House to speak to Donald Trump wouldn't you jump at the opportunity? Wouldn't you at least give him a chance based upon the experiences of everyone else to hear your concerns and listen to what you want? Apparently not if you are the Congressional Black Caucus.
Pres. Trump has invited the members of the caucus to come to the White House and address issues that are important to them and the people they represent. The caucus has refused and the reasons for their refusal show that they are grasping at straws. And it also proves that it is about power and perception rather than really solving problems. Because think about this, what is the worst thing that could happen? They have a productive meeting with Pres. Trump in which he hears their concerns and then he does nothing. At least you and I would think that's the worst thing that could happen. But for the Congressional Black Caucus they could then go back out to their constituents and say this president doesn't care about them. He heard what they had to say and he did nothing.
But really, the worst thing for the Congressional Black Caucus is that Pres. Trump listens to them and acts upon their concerns. And then horror of horrors, some of the problems facing the CBCs constituents are solved! If that were to happen Pres. Trump would be seen as a hero and the Congressional Black Caucus and the liberals just cannot have that. Despite what you see in the news, Pres. Trump has accomplished quite a bit in the first few months of his presidency and the members of the caucus know that. They cannot take the chance that Pres. Trump can be given any credit for any positive things happening in our lives.
Back to the reasons they are giving for not being able to meet with the president: the first one listed by many members of the caucus is that Pres. Trump's assistant, Omarosa Manigault, signed the invitation "Honorable Omarosa Manigault, a title they say she has not earned and that it was offensive to them. They also claim that the logistics of getting 50 members of the caucus together are difficult but don't they hold meetings regularly? I'm sure that not everyone can make all of their meetings that you would think that a meeting with the president to address grievances would be something that most of them could make room for on their calendar.
Other members have given excuses such as not wanting to pose for a photo with the president for fear that someone thinks they are supporting Pres. Trump and having been able to avoid that in past meetings, they think avoiding a picture in the Oval Office would be impossible. they are also upset that he is not done anything to address their concerns but if you haven't expressed them to him and giving him options to address those that what you expect him to do? Is he supposed to read about your concerns in the mainstream media because all he reads or hears in the press the vile things that you are saying about him.
Quite simply this is not about solving problems this is about them having power over our lives plain and simple. It's also about being shortsighted and petty; but what would you expect from a group of liberals?
Enjoy this article?

Brenda Pecotte de Gonzalez, OMS II at A.T. Still University-SOMA Awarded $5,000 TOMF Founders' Scholarship
May 28, 2015
Brenda Pecotte de Gonzalez, OMS II, grew up in the small town of DeForest, Wisconsin and wants to be a family physician, just like the one who took care of her whole extended family while growing up. "He (the doctor) did everything, from well-child checks to stitches to chronic condition management and to coordination of care with specialists. I really like that family medicine allows seeing all ages and offers a large scope of practice, including preventive medicine." She really looks forward to discovering what "style" she'll develop as she enters practice. We asked Brenda a few questions about her path to medicine, daily life as a medical student and her future endeavors as an osteopathic physician. Read on to find out more.
1. What is your hometown?
I am originally from DeForest, Wisconsin (a small town about 20min north of Madison, Wisconsin). I went to undergrad at North Park University in Chicago, Illinois. I moved to Tucson, Arizona in August 2009 where I completed an Masters in Public Health in 2012 and Masters of Arts in Latin American Studies in 2013 at the University of Arizona.
2. What caused you to choose medicine as a career?
I always remember thinking that I would go into a medical or healthcare career. My younger sister was born premature and has cerebral palsy. I remember going with her to many doctor's visits and visiting her when she was in the hospital, so I think that personal experience helped plant the seed in me that the medical profession can help and have a deep impact on not only the person but their family. As I got older, I realized how much I liked learning about and studying the human body. The more I explored various career options, the more I always came back to medicine and realized that is where I wanted to be.
3. Which specialty do you plan to practice?
Family Medicine - I think this has been my plan since day 1. I grew up going to see a family practice doctor who took care of my whole family. He did everything from well-child checks, stitches, chronic condition management and coordination of care with specialists. I really like that is allows seeing all ages and offers a large scope of practice including preventative medicine.
4. What does your typical school day look like?
This is a bit complicated to answer since every day is different with the ATSU-SOMA curriculum in second year at our CHC campuses; I am at the Tucson Community Health Center campus at El Rio Community Health Center. It may be easier to do it as a week. Mondays are test days if there is a test scheduled that week for one of our courses (either OPP, Epi/Biostats, Block course). Tuesdays are available for us to study the didactic lectures. Wednesdays we have OPP in the morning and the afternoons are for Medical Skills course activity. Thursdays are clinic days where in our second year we spend the day in clinic either with a physician or another health professional. Friday mornings we have small group presentations and clinical case presentations. Most evenings I spend studying and spending time with my husband.
5. What qualities do you look for in a mentor or role model?
All the people I consider mentors have been those individuals who have been authentic and honest with me in sharing their experiences and answering questions. They truly love what they are doing and want to share that with me. Also, they have made themselves available and have actively taken the time and interest for teaching and mentoring.
6. As a mentor and role model yourself, what advice would you give to a student considering medicine as a career?
-Take every opportunity you can to learn something new and show your enthusiasm for medicine. It is those opportunities-whether personally, volunteering, shadowing, working- that really showed me what a career in medicine means and also helped open doors to where I am now.
-Seek out opportunities-volunteering, shadowing or working- in the medical field that really interest you because that is where you will learn the most and be invested. Realize that some places or people will say no and that is okay. Don't be afraid to reach out to your family and friends for connections and networking. Also, current medical students and residents are great resources, too!
-Take a moment and write down what makes you excited or motivates you to pursue this and keep it somewhere to remind you. Always remember how fortunate you are and that it is a privilege to study medicine and one day practice. Although I am only two years into my training, I think it is the perspective that you start school with that will motivate and encourage you as you progress through the various courses and clinical experiences.
7. What is the most interesting thing you've discovered so far in your medical training?
Patients really are the reason you become a doctor. Thus far, the majority of patients I have seen in clinic are very receptive to letting a medical student see them during their appointment and be involved in their care. Often they are interested as to why I want to be a doctor. They are some of your biggest supporters offering words of encouragement and support. Every patient is unique and really will teach you something new.
Also, I don't know if this is the most interesting, but maybe the most encouraging. There have been a number of occasions either when at home studying or during a clinic day or while talking to friends where I think "this is exactly what I want to be doing and where I want to be".
8. What are you most excited about doing after you become a physician?
I like being a part of the community where I live and the larger community, so I hope to continue that as a physician. I am most excited to see where I will be practicing and what my style will be. I have heard and been told by many physicians that over time you develop your own style. After having shadowed and worked with a number of physicians already and more to come and been able to pull from those experiences, I am curious to see what my style will be. Also, I don't think I realized how much variety and paths exist in medicine, so I am excited to see if there is a particular direction within medicine that I am drawn to.
I am also looking forward to having continuity with patients and using the osteopathic principles in every day practice. I have enjoyed learning OMM and using it in clinic and with family and friends.

I want to get a netbook and they both seem good but which is better?
Dell is only good if you buy their upper line models, their inspirons suck(my friend owns one) they aren't built very good, the hardware is good, its the design/build quality the touchpad sucks. So I am a little worried. Degee is a new brand and it seems cheaper. I contacted the online help and were informed that the after-sale service is guaranteed. Personally, I am looking for 10.2'' Intel Atom D425 but I need more feedback before making a decision.
Not being pessimistic, but it's often just a crapshoot with a new company. I have an ASUS EeePC 701 netbook which is very adequate for what I need it for (basic internet during service calls on other peoples' systems). Since ASUS has been in the business for a while, I didn't think they were going away anytime soon (but of course the support on the machine has long since expired). You may want to ask yourself how long a company is expected to be around if you're planning on plunking down a decent chunk of change for something you expect to last 5 years or better...
"Channeling the spirit of jboy..."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've have/had laptops from Fujitsu, Dell, IBM, emachine and netbooks from acer and dell. The only problems 1 keyboard, 2 pointing devices, 3 batteries, 2 hard drives. The ages run from 1 to 15 years. Given care they should last long enough. My Dell netbook cost $227. An ASUS was $177 at Christmas.
See response #4, don't waste your $ on a Netbook.
MOOOOooove! OH and you're welcome!
PC-GEEK - I disagree, With the exception of the CD/DVD drive. The netbook is equivalent to a laptop. A USB mem stick can substitute for the CD drive. I even have multiple OS's.
Netbooks obviously fill a nitch in the market, but it seems a lot of people are disappointed once they realize their shortcomings. A netbook is not a laptop & you shouldn't expect laptop type performance from one. The Atom CPU that the majority of them are based on is weak, the graphics chip is generally low end, the RAM amount is limited & there's no CD/DVD drive. Not to mention both the screen & keyboard are small. If you can live with all that, fine, but IMO, you'd be better off with a low end laptop. As T-R-A stated, it's awlays a crapshoot when you buy from a new, unproven company.
The main advantage of a netbook is portability. I use mine for internet access. the usb camera, and programming. It has enough battery life for a daily outing.
It is easy to put a netbook into a handbag so I am okay with the small screen and keyboard.
I thought it is a cost effective product.
Sometimes, people pay more for brand value than the actual value. Thank you for your suggestion.
I will contact degee company to get more information.
Meanwhile, I do not know if it is appropriate to post this review here. But I appreciate help from a moderator who changed my subject and make my question clearer.
Thank you very much.

Very high strength and very high size gains.
The following cycle is designed with male, weighing 110KG, experienced steroid user, in mind. To adjust for the proper dosage for your weight, figure a factor of 10% / 10KG of body weight. Example: If you weigh 120KG, increase the dosage 10% (or to the closest possible dosage).
Make sure your daily intake of protein is at least 3 grams per
kg/body weight and your daily caloric intake is 50 cal per
kg/body weight. Utilize a high intensity, high weight, and low
rep workout routine 6 days on, 1 day off at 90 minutes per
day, during the cycle. After completing the cycle, utilize a 3
days on, 1 day off at 60 minutes per day. During the cycle
take Evening Primrose Oil and Cod Liver Oil to assist your
kidney/liver. Also, drink at least a gallon of water/day and
most importantly eat, eat, eat (especially BEEF, just watch
the fatty stuff). Gains with this oral and injection stacking
combination for an average 110KG male is 8 - 14 kg. Females
should not utilize this cycle, due to the high androgenic
properties of it. This is heavy cycle and little side effects
may be noted. Normally, the only noticeable side effects are
an increase in acne, bloating in the upper abdomen area,
increased cholesterol level, and decreased sleeping pattern.
But, if have preexisting gyno, had gyno develop during
puberty, or are susceptible to gyno. Either Nolvadex or
Proviron is a recommended. (Proviron is preferred).
The main purpose of this cycle is to hit the receptor sites
hard and with the heavy androgenic products, when the
receptors are fresh and clean (in the first three weeks). Then
as the receptor sites begin to saturate, you�ll convert over
to more anabolic � less androgenic products. This will allow
you to intake heavier androgenic products with fewer chances
of any adverse side effects. The increasing of the Primobolan
is to aid in giving you that more cut look, after you complete
the cycle.

Day 39-2007 American Ice Wine Vidal Blanc by Lynfred Winery
This wine is the reason we are members of Lynfred's wine club. Generally speaking, a lot of the white wines Lynfred comes out with are dry, however, since every month the member gets a newly released wine, it could be anything. Since we have rejoined, starting in the month that had the Cabernet Blush in 11/08 this is the second wine that we really liked as a drinking wine. Most ice wines are vidal blanc, and this one shows to be one of the better ice wines. We really like the other ice wines at Lynfred, however, with price tags of $35 for the half bottle, we just can't afford that on a daily basis. This wine is only $20 this month for white wine club members and then will also be jumping to $35 for next month. This wine is all honey, orange, and peach with some acidity as when you look at in your glass their looks to be little bubbles, however there is no fizz to this wine and I do not understand why there are bubbles. This wine is very sweet with a thicker consistency made in the fashion of typical ice wines. It is a dessert wine, best served in a apertif glass, however even with the smalller glass, it seemed that the bottle was finished in no time. My better half loved this wine and we had to buy 2 additional bottles at the March price to helpp us make it through the next few months.

The Times of Israel reports: Stormy weather washed several dozen explosive fuses up onto beaches in Tel Aviv and Herzliya on Saturday, police said warning the public to exercise caution.
Police told the public to keep away, warning that "any touch could cause an explosion." Police appealed to the public to report the location of any of the explosive devices that they found. Large numbers of police sappers were working to locate the undetonated fuses, and several dozen had already been located by Saturday morning, police said.
It wasn't immediately clear how they were released or from where. Police said that they had been spotted from the Cliff Beach in Herzliya to Mandarin Hotel Beach in Tel Aviv.

Series: Hourglass #1
Author: Myra McEntire
Genre: YA - Science Fiction/Fantasy
Publication: 06.14.2011 by EgmontUSA
Format: Hardcover
Source: Library
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Summary: One hour to rewrite the past . . .
For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn't there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents' death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She's tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.
So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson's willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may also change her past.
Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he's around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?
Thoughts: I was excited to start reading this, but quite frankly, I was very disappointed in the book overall. While there are a few redeeming and interesting bits about the story, Hourglass turned out to be a young adult cliche with it's love triangle, predictable storyline and sometimes spunky, but rather lame heroine.
The story starts off rather interesting. Emerson sees "ghosts" which we later find out are remnants of the past, called "rips." She's strong, but broken from her loss and depression, and has a great friend and family that support her. The problems begin when she meets Michael, punches him in the stomach to make sure he's real (really, does that make sense?) and loses all sense when she realizes he has great abs. While the story develops slowly, we get a whole lot of "tension" between these two characters. Emerson acts stupid when Michael is near and blushes over everything...and I mean, everything. It was ridiculous. And Michael is obviously attracted to her, but since he wants to remain professional, he doesn't act upon it. Except when he does. He pretty much leads her on with his touches (which electrify them, by the way) and compliments but acts like a jerk with his mood swings when he realizes she doesn't do everything he wants. He threw me off and annoyed me most of the time.
I had a difficult time liking Emerson too. Like mentioned above, she came off as a strong heroine who had been through a lot and was just trying to deal with it the best she could. Then there's a guy involved and all she can do is swoon, even though we know she can kick his butt. Then the love triangle kicks in about two thirds into the book. When Kaleb is introduced, we find out that he and Michael are like brothers and he obviously knows what is going on between the two. But it doesn't stop him from hitting on her, telling her he might be in love with her, and that he'll wait for her (to get over Michael maybe?) And Emerson falls for it.
Along with Kaleb, we are introduced to a few other members of the secret Hourglass, a specialized place to help, educate, and bring together people with special abilities. Sounds like X-Men right? Yes, it is. Except we never learn anything about any of the characters. We get tidbits of what they can do and then they pretty much stop existing.
The plot becomes a little more interesting when we find out that Emerson sees rips because she can travel through time; to the past, to be exact. I love time travel and McEntire was able to create a unique idea with the way the characters were able to travel, but I feel failed in executing properly. First off, Emerson has never traveled before but decides to risk her life by going back a few months to save the founder of the Hourglass, a man she's never met because he has a family. Ummm, okay? That's fine. I can handle that. But then it's time to travel and they pretty much explain it to Emerson in like two seconds and she's totally okay with the whole thing even though she has no idea what the heck she's doing. Then of course not everything goes according to plan, there's a huge twist and then the book is wrapped up nicely and left with too many loose ends for me to be comfortable.
Overall: I am not sure if I ever enjoyed the Hourglass. I wasn't too impressed with any of it, except the idea of rips and time travel. Honestly, I forced myself to finish it and I while I know that there are many who loved it, I simply didn't. It was too slow for me and the romance too thick to be enjoyable. The twists in the story provided some fun in the plot, but otherwise, I wasn't too interested in how it would all end. I have a copy of the next book in the series, Timepiece, and am debating on whether I want to read it. I am a bit curious and hope that the romance bit will be brought down a few notches so that the rest of the story can be developed more. I am not sure if I would recommend this book, but there are hundreds of raving reviews and I am among the few who didn't enjoy it. I definitely suggest you check it out if it sounds like something you'll enjoy a lot more.
