The Mini Wiki Treasures Annual Awards
Last May the Mini Wiki Treasures Annual Awards were announced. You win an award if you are one of the top blogs that has contributed to the site. Last May I said to myself, "I want to be on that list next year".
And I am! You can read about the awards here.
I became involved in editing the pages, have joined their flickr group, and was supposed to be involved in their Advent Calendar but had to withdraw for personal reasons. I received the award partly because of my involvement in editing the site but mostly because I donated a prize to celebrate Mini Wiki Treasures fourth birthday.
I just mailed it off this morning, to a woman in Finland.
This is Saara from Finland's prize:
I have been designing my own labels and soap boxes in gimp, which is a free program similar to photoshop. What I didn't take into account was that my previous display box design wouldn't show the entire soap box! I played around with the arrangement a bit, reminded myself to stop being a perfectionist, and am pleased with the result. Every time I make something new, I learn something new.
That's what I love about miniatures.
Hugs to all,

Interest rates are finally moving higher. After leaving rates unchanged from 2008 to 2015, the Fed's Open Markets Committee (FOMC) has used its December meeting to raise short-term rates for two years in a row. From a low range of 0% – 0.25%, the Fed funds target now sits at 0.5% – 0.75%. This latest move was widely expected, as the majority of economic data released over the past few months has been positive.
There's little doubt that Fed officials would like to see rates move much higher. More than two years ago, it released a policy normalization plan that calls for rates to be increased very gradually (in 0.25% increments) – from near-zero to 3% over the next several years. A year ago, the FOMC "decided that economic conditions and the economic outlook warranted the commencement of the policy normalization process" and raised rates for the first time since December 2008. "Gradually" meant within the next two to three years according to the Fed's economic forecasts released at that time, with four rate increases expected in 2016. Since then, lower-than-expected domestic growth, anemic global growth and the pursuit of negative interest rate policies by central banks in much of the developed world prevented Fed officials from raising rates again until now. However, with recent data showing increased optimism for stronger economic growth, Fed officials see an opportunity to "catch up". For 2017, the majority of Fed officials now see at least three rate increases (up from two) and expect to end the year with rates between 1.25% – 1.5%.
What will higher interest rates mean for consumers? Higher rates mean higher financing costs, so sales of big-ticket items like houses and automobiles could see a modest decline. For investors, the impact will be mixed. Rising rates mean higher coupons on new bonds, but the value of existing bonds in a portfolio will lose a small portion of their value – which is only a problem if selling prior to maturity. Some parts of the equity market – particularly for banks- should enjoy higher profit margins as rates increase. Other parts, such as insurance and real estate stocks, will have their profit margins squeezed.
Predicting the 'timing' of interest rate hikes, inflation and the like is a fool's game. One doesn't have to look very hard to find a cornucopia of failed attempts that illustrate this point. However, we believe that it's possible to at least position one's portfolio for a rising interest rate 'trend'. When the Fed tells markets to expect higher interest rates in the future the unofficial investing "playbook" calls for shortening portfolio duration and reducing exposure to stocks negatively impacted by rising interest rates. So it's certainly no accident that our Trust Investment Committee made the decision to incorporate fixed income investment vehicles offering durations shorter than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index into client accounts. Likewise, our Dividend Growth portfolio strategy has largely avoided stocks that will be negatively impacted by rising interest rates. By focusing on trending rather than timing, we've been able to reduce the short-term volatility that occurs when the unexpected happens (i.e. Brexit, U.S. presidential election, etc.) and causes investors to react emotionally.
After beginning the year with the worst stock market performance since 2008 then seeing rates on U.S. Treasuries reach historical lows in July, investor expectations for full year returns were tepid at best. As the financial markets have done countless times over the years, returns failed to match broad expectations. Markets are on pace to end the year with surprisingly strong returns while domestic economic growth is accelerating. What does 2017 have in store? The only guarantee is for more surprises. That's why it's important to make sure that your financial plan is adjusting to what you have in store for 2017 and beyond. As Eisenhower once said, "plans are nothing, planning is everything."
The start of the new year is a wonderful time to contact your advisor to review your investment profile and objectives and discuss how possible changes to the tax code might impact your investments. We appreciate the confidence you've placed in us and wish you a happy and prosperous 2017!

When used alone, femoral nerve block is well suited for surgery on the anterior aspect of the thigh and for postoperative pain management after femur and knee surgery. However, when combined with a sciatic block, anesthesia of almost the entire lower limb from the mid-thigh level can be achieved. ++ Indications ++ Single-Dose Technique ++ When used alone, a femoral nerve block is well suited for surgery on the anterior aspect of the thigh and for superficial surgery on the medial aspect of the leg below the knee. Some examples include repair of the quadriceps tendon or quadriceps muscle biopsy, long saphenous vein stripping, and postoperative pain management after femur and knee surgery. Femoral nerve block significantly improves postoperative analgesia after knee surgery during the first 8–12 hours postoperatively.1–5 However, when combined with a sciatic or popliteal block, femoral block provides anesthesia for entire lower leg or ankle surgery. ++ Continuous Technique ++ The primary indication of continuous femoral nerve block is pain management after major femur or knee surgery.6–22 In addition, when compared with a single dose technique or placebo, continuous femoral nerve block significantly reduces postoperative morphine consumption in patients after total hip replacement.23,24 For this application, the technique is as efficient as IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine or patient-controlled epidural analgesia, and it results in fewer technical problems and side effects.13 ++ Continuous femoral nerve block provides excellent analgesia in patients with femoral shaft or femoral neck fractures.14,15,21,25 Its relative simplicity makes it uniquely suitable for analgesia in the emergency room and facilitate physical and radiologic examinations as well as manipulations of the fractured femur or hip. ++ After major knee surgery, continuous femoral nerve block provides better pain relief than parenteral administration of opioids (IV PCA, intramuscular)7,12,16,17,20 or intraarticular analgesia.18,26 For knee surgery, continuous femoral block is as effective as continuous lumbar plexus block27 or continuous epidural analgesia,12,20 with fewer risks of complications. Because this technique results in faster postoperative knee rehabilitation than IV PCA with morphine and fewer side effects than epidural analgesia, continuous femoral nerve block is probably the analgesic technique of choice in patients after total knee arthroplasty.7,12,20,28 ++ Contraindications ++ Relative contraindications for femoral nerve block may include previous ilioinguinal surgery (femoral vascular graft, kidney transplantation), large inguinal lymph nodes or tumor, local infection, peritoneal infection, and preexisting femoral neuropathy. ++ Anatomy ++ The femoral nerve is the largest nerve of the ...

BARCELONA provided the craziest seven minutes of football ever seen as Barcelona scored three to beat PSG, having overcome a 4-0 aggregate first leg deficit.
Barcelona went in 2-0 up at half-time thanks to a Luis Suarez strike and an own goal from PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa – but even then Barca fans thought it was beyond them.
But when Lionel Messi scored a 50th minute penalty, they began to believe – quickly extinguished when Paris striker Edinson Cavani netted a fine volley.
Fast-forward to the final seven minutes when Neymar banged in a wonderful free kick, then scored a penalty – before midfielder Sergi Roberto touched home Neymar's cross.
It sparked wild scenes as they achieved the impossible comeback – and Twitter imploded perhaps more than any other time for a football match.
The great and the good of football, ordinary fans – and Arsenal fans laughing how PSG have turned into them – took the social media, and here is a flavour of the online mood…

Investigators believe burglary main motive in break-in
Police seek suspect in rape of 100-year-old woman
Investigators believe burglary main motive in break-in
WICHITA, Kan. —
Authorities are looking for one or more intruders who they said broke into the Wichita home of a 100-year-old woman and sexually assaulted her.
Police told reporters Friday that the victim walked to a neighbor's house Tuesday morning, saying there were two people inside her home. The woman told police she was awakened during the night by intruders.
Wichita Police Capt. Troy Livingston said that rape is always a deplorable crime but that this victim's age makes the case even more disturbing.
Police believe burglary was the main motive for the break-in. The woman lives alone.

Cup Series
Josh Skroupa wins spring segment finale at Martinsville
MARTINSVILLE – Josh Skroupa was able to avoid most of the carnage at the paperclip and drive to victory lane for his second victory of the season Thursday night in the Premier Racing League Patriot Fire Cup Series. Starting from the NP3 Designs pole, Skroupa battled with several drivers all night trying to maintain track position at the Virginia track, but would lead the majority of laps and ultimately take home the grandfather clock.
"I just bought a house, I could use a clock" Skroupa said from victory lane. "It really got exciting there at the end, once the track got rubbered in it got really difficult to get around, Ricky Hardin raced me hard all night really clean so I gotta give him a shout out for the good racing between us". Skroupa went on to thank Tommy Rhyne for talking him into his return to the Premier Racing League and that he was looking forward to the summer segment.
Drew Carroll would bring his #87 Clipping the Apex Ford home in second. Carroll or "Mr. Excitement" had been the source of some attention by fellow driver James Krahula when Krahula painted his car to look like the #87 but sponsored by a scud missile. "Yea I don't have any comment on that, I wasn't trying to really get into anyone tonight but I seemed to catch a couple guys at bad spots in the corner because of my line, so I gotta apologize to those guys for the contact". When asked if he thought he had a shot at the victory "No, I actually had some damage like everyone else out here but it is what it is, didn't make any friends but we will move on to Richmond and take it from there". Carroll hopes to continue his momentum next week at Richmond.
Nick Kohan emerged as the surprise big winner of the evening after he pulled out the Spring Championship in exciting fashion. "The Rolling Rock is definitely going to be flowing around here tonight boys, man I still can't believe we won it!", said Kohan who would end up in a tie with Tommy Rhyne at the end of the segment but was named the champion due to his lone victory of the season at Phoenix as the tie breaker, "I thought the officials were wrong or maybe Steve Harvey was announcing it".
Tommy Rhyne came home third in the race but was more frustrated with losing the segment championship tie breaker. Tommy tried to snatch the victory at Martinsville with some last minute risky strategy of staying out on nearly 90 lap old tires with only 3 laps to go in the event. The move nearly paid off as the final caution would fly in the first turn of the restart but Skroupa had managed to already pass him on the fresher rubber. "Just frustrated that we let it slip away from us, I keep thinking about what if I had just gotten one more point somewhere, a position here or there, or one bonus point and we have that championship, just goes to show you how important every single position s out here week in and week out" an exhausted Rhyne would say after the event.
The 300 lap event was slowed 12 times for 57 laps and the normal fireworks at a small track certainly flew. Lots of door slamming and short tempers flared as they normally do here at Martinsville. At the end of the race there were not a lot of cars without signs of hard racing being easily identified. At least one driver had to be parked as a result of incidents on the track and others saw the race as a chance to rectify previous injustices. The new "race others how you want to be raced" rule was certainly in effect and being utilized.
Brian Yaczik would finish third in the segment standings with his late push. Brian certainly looks to stay in contention as the summer segment begins and for the season long standings. Tyler Dalton and Bob Bryant would round out the top five in the standings for the Spring Championship. Each segment consists of 12 races and there is a season championship that will continue throughout all three segments.
The Premier Racing League Patriot Fire Cup Series starts the summer segment and heads to the Richmond International Raceway next for the Commonwealth 200 on Thursday, May 18th at 9:00 p.m. EST. As with every Patriot Fire Cup Series race, the action can be seen live on the Global SimRacing Channel and the iRacing live stream.

Skroupa Shows Road Course Skills in the Elkhart Lake 250
ELKHART LAKE – Unacceptable Racing driver Josh Skroupa cruised from start to finish and never seemed to lose control of the field for most of the race Thursday night to grab his first victory of the season in the Premier Racing League Patriot Fire Series. Starting from the NP3 Designs Pole, Skroupa battled for what seemed like the majority of the race with road course ringer Brian Mellendorf, leading the majority of laps at Road America to a win at the Wisconsin road course, the second road race the series has seen this season.
"Man, I'm worn out! It's great to finally get a win after running up front all year without the results we would have liked" Skroupa said from the virtual victory lane. "We really just did a great job of saving the tires throughout the whole run to get the most out of the setup, we were definitely worried about Brian (Mellendorf) back there he is a great road racer so we just tried to keep him behind us". Skroupa went on to say he was looking forward to getting back to ovals next week and hoped to get some more trips to victory lane.
Skroupa held off road course master Brian Mellendorf, who was trying to get into victory lane for the first time himself this season and came up short one spot. Mellendorf stated he struggled at times with the setup on the car but was happy with his finish. "We didn't have to pass as many cars tonight as we did last time so that was nice, you just really had to be careful with your corners or you would burn up the tires". Mellendorf pitted on laps 12 and 26 under green but was unable to surpass Skroupa who pitted the following lap. He was all smiles after the race though with his girlfriend Kaitlyn right by his side to congratulate him on his finish.
Tommy Rhyne was able to finish in third after a few weeks of some horrible luck for the South Carolina driver. "It's so hard to finish in the top five in this series, guys have really brought their A game this season" Rhyne stated prior to the race. "I had to almost drive a perfect race for me to finish that good tonight, everyone had to really take care of their tires" Rhyne laughed as he left with this comment "I can't keep up with Skroupa here man, that guy can fly at this place!"
Although there were several small incidents and at least one multi car wreck that caused some drivers to at least question why a yellow wasn't thrown, the event was only slowed once for the competition caution on lap 16. Everyone would take the opportunity to grab fresh tires and regroup for the final stretch. Contenders Brian Yaczik and Paul Pepper rounded out the top five with good showings and what should help them both in the points standings.
Bob Bryant maintained his points lead on the field with Nick Kohan moving up to second just 20 points behind him. Tommy Rhyne jumped a spot to third in points after his top five finish. Scott Eckrich dropped to fourth before the drop weeks were calculated and is expected to contend with Bryant for the spring championship. Ricky Hardin rounds out the top five in points and hopes to gain more ground next week.
The Premier Racing League Patriot Fire Cup Series heads to the Gateway Motorsports Park next for the Amsoil 200 on Thursday, April 27th at 9:00 p.m. EST. As with every Patriot Fire Cup Series race, the action can be seen live on the Global SimRacing Channel and the iRacing Live stream.

Hardin Nips Kohan For The Daytona 300 Win
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – A little over two weeks of preparation came down to just a few feet to determine the 2017 Daytona 300. Ricky Hardin was ahead of Nick Kohan by only .007 when the caution flew for the last time coming to 4 laps to go. Hardin started 37th after a crash in his Patriot Fire Duel a week prior, and found himself running towards the back of the field during the majority of the event. Hardin found a lucky break though when the first yellow flew on lap 79 of the event. Hardin found himself just leaving pit road at the time of the caution and would cycle within striking distance of the lead when the race restarted a few laps later. Hardin fought to the front and found himself in front to claim his 2nd Patriot Fire Cup Series win.
The Goat Rope Racing driver tried to muffle his celebration to not wake his sleeping wife and baby, but the excitement was apparent. "This is awesome man, I can't believe it." said Hardin in Daytona International Speedway's victory lane. Hardin was also quick to thank his team, "We just work together very well as a team and I think it shows how good our team is at these type of events."
NP3 Designs Pole winner Tommy Rhyne, who pushed Hardin to the victory, finished in 3rd, followed by Loud Pedal Motorsports drivers Scott Eckrich and Paul Pepper. Gary Whitson was the American Pool Supply Half Way Leader, but would finish 15th after being in the race ending crash.
Even though Daytona was the first race, the Patriot Fire Duel's paid bonus points in the qualifying event. Meaning the season championship has Eckrich leading by 7 points over Gregory McDougal. Hardin with his win on Sunday moved him up to 3rd, followed by Rett McBride and Rhyne.
Along side the season championship will be three segments, and the Spring Segment did not pay points from the Patriot Fire Duel's. This points battle will also see Eckrich leading, but Hardin will sit 2nd in this battle. Kohan, Rhyne, and McDougal will round out the Top 5.
The Premier Racing League heads further south next week where the league will visit the Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Miami 200 on March 2nd. Coverage of this race will start at 9pm ET on the Global Sim Racing Channel and iRacing Live.

The Duel's Are Done & The Lineup Is Set
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – Two races and two winners on Thursday, as the Patriot Fire Duel's at Daytona setup the starting grid for the Daytona 300 on February 23rd. Points for the first time were also given out for the Duel's with Bonus Points heading to the Top 10 in each.
Randy Yokum was able to push his way to the front of the field in the closing laps of Duel #1, which put him out ahead of the big-one when net code between Michael Chrobok and Tommy Rhyne left only three cars without damage. Randy was able to stay ahead of Josh King and Greg McDougal to earn his 2nd row starting spot for the Daytona 300. Rich Jette and Reed Rundell were able to limp their cars home in the 4th and 5th positions.
Duel #2 saw James Krahula and Brian Yaczik share time at the front. In the end, it was Yaczik who would find himself out in front when Paul Pepper and Tyler Dalton made contact in the closing laps and end the race under yellow. Scott Eckrich would find himself just feet behind Yaczik to finish 2nd, followed closely by Matt Murphy, Rett McBride, and RJ Williams who avoided the late wreck to close out the Top 5.

Rhyne Wins NP3 Pole, Skroupa Outside
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – Qualifying is always stressful, but there is a little more added pressure when you know that everyone is watching. The Premier Racing League decided to add a little anxiety to the session on Thursday night by sending their Patriot Fire Cup Series drivers out one-by-one to try and capture the NP3 Designs Pole Award for the Daytona 300. Tommy Rhyne was able to set the fastest lap with a 47.316 and will now enjoy knowing that he will lead the field to the start of the 2nd Annual Daytona 300 on February 23rd. "My heart rate was up big time when I made my lap," said Rhyne post qualifying.
Rhyne will also start on pole for the 1st Patriot Fire Duel on February 16th, which this year will pay 10 points to the winner all the way back to one point for 10th. Rhyne will be joined by all of the odd qualifiers in his Duel. Their finishing position will also make up the inside line for the start of the Daytona 300.
Josh Skroupa was able to lock himself into the 2nd starting spot for the Daytona 300, and will lead the even qualifiers for the 2nd Patriot Fire Duel. The finishing order for the 2nd Duel will determine how they lineup behind Skroupa on the outside line for the Daytona 300, but more important are those bonus points for the Overall Championship up for grabs.
The Patriot Fire Cup Series will be on track next for the Duel's on February 16th. Both Patriot Fire Duel's will be live on iRacing Live courtesy of the Global Sim Racing Channel at 9pm ET.

Client Spotlight: Grady Moredock
Name: Grady Moredock
Job: Sales and Technology Recruiter
Coaching: 1-on-1 Coaching with Matthew Walley
How did you find out about Frame of Mind Coaching?
I have known Matt for the past 20 years. I was interested in doing some kind of coaching, and he was the first person I called.
What was it like working with Matthew as a coach?
It was a perfect match. Matt had the ability to look at things that I wasn't paying attention to that were staring me right in the face. He also taught me the value of writing in a journal daily. When I wrote my thoughts down, things that I didn't think were important at all became significantly important. I wouldn't have been able to pick up on the things he pointed out myself. Some of the habits I had formed and certain ways that I viewed myself became much more apparent when I wrote about it. Matt was able to draw that to the surface and show me.
What were you struggling with prior to coaching?
I've had a history with substance abuse, I'm in recovery and I went through a divorce a couple of years ago. I also had a restricted relationship with my children and a professional life that was unfulfilling. Life had been overwhelming for me and I was looking for a solution.
I felt like I was certainly qualified to love life and I was certainly intelligent enough to be successful, and yet things weren't aligning properly for me. I just couldn't catch a break. Some of my problems were self-inflicted, and some of them seemed circumstantial, but all of them had to do with me.
How has FOM Coaching impacted your life?
I can't put a price tag on the impact it's had. I'm earning more money than I was before. But more importantly, it has allowed me to live in the positive instead of in the deficit. I definitely have a good life, but I was focusing on all the negative things that came up as opposed to all the positive aspects of my life − I have a job, I have healthy kids and I have a good, solid relationship with a wonderful woman that I met in recovery.
Once coaching taught me to focus on all of that − all the good stuff that was already there − I really started to see a difference in my life. I'm no longer miserable or scared of life and the future. I still don't have many of the things that I want, but what I do have is the happiness and the mental capacity to understand that it's there and that if I focus on it, it does indeed grow. Coaching was really instrumental in grounding me and reminding me of how wonderful things can be and really, truly are.
Would you recommend FOM Coaching to others?
Yes, and I have. It's worth every penny. I meet so many people who could really benefit from learning more about themselves and from emotionally reconnecting with themselves. I believe that was my biggest takeaway: getting back to myself and having confidence in myself.
Are you overwhelmed and stressed out? Could you use a helping hand to pull you out of that chaotic head space? We would love to talk with you about what you're experiencing and show you ways to live a joyous and peaceful life.
It all starts by taking the Frame of Mind Coaching Assessment.

(MIAMI, FL) — According to the Miami Association of Realtors local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), sales of existing condominiums in the Miami Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) increased 54 percent, from 855 to 1,316, compared to June 2010 but decreased seven percent compared to the previous month.
Sales of existing single-family homes rose 35 percent in June, from 686 to 923, and six percent compared to the previous month.
In June, 59 percent of closed sales were cash transactions. Cash sales accounted for 39 percent of single-family and 73 percent of condominium closings.
Statewide sales increased eight percent to 7,941 for condominiums and dropped four percent to 17,597 for single-family homes.
Nationally, sales of existing single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops decreased 0.8 percent from May and remain 8.8 percent below June 2010, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
"The Miami market has taken a lead position in sales growth and strengthening compared to the rest of the nation," said Jack H. Levine, 2011 Chairman of the Board of the Miami Association of Realtors. "Current levels of supply and demand denote a healthy market that is expected to outperform others throughout the U.S. long-term. The demand from foreign buyers and investors, the expansion of the Panama Canal, and the vibrant tourism industry are just some of the factors that are expected to have positive effects on the local economy and real estate marketplace."
Prices Continue to Stabilize
The effect of short sales and foreclosures on the median and average sales prices for both single-family homes and condominiums has lessened particularly in some areas of the county. In June, 57 percent of all closed residential sales in Miami-Dade County were distressed, including REOs and short sales, compared to 60 percent a year earlier.
The median sales price of single-family homes in June decreased nine percent to $180,200 from a year earlier but increased three percent from the previous month. The median sales price of condominiums dropped seven percent to $119,800 from a year earlier and three percent from the previous month.
"Despite the wavering economic news and forecasts, Miami real estate is outperforming the state and the nation and continues to grow stronger every month," said 2011 Miami Association of Realtors Residential President Ralph E. De Martino. "Prices, which typically lag behind sales, continue to stabilize, as foreigner buyers and investors increasingly play a crucial role in our remarkable market strengthening."
Statewide median sales prices increased two percent to $93,000 for condominiums and dropped two percent to $138,000 for single-family homes.
The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $184,300 in June, up 0.8 percent from June 2010.
The average sales prices for single-family homes in Miami-Dade County decreased two percent, from $342,051 in June 2010 to $335,289 in June 2011. The average sales price for condominiums increased 35.2 percent, from $253,303 in June 2010 to $342,546 last month.
Local Housing Inventory Continues to Decline
The inventory of residential listings in Miami-Dade County dropped 36 percent from 25,190 in June 2010 to 16,252 in June 2011. Compared to the previous month, the total inventory of homes dropped four percent from 16,897. Since August 2008, existing housing inventory has decreased more than 62 percent, down from 43,100.
Total housing inventory nationally rose 3.3 percent at the end of June.

A Quick Response Regarding the Second Amendment
Below, DC points out an argument made in a comment regarding my interpretation of the Second Amendment. I felt the need to respond.
I quote the argument again:
If the first amendment read, "a well informed electorate, being necessary to a free people, the right of the people to free speech shall not be infringed," would you suggest that the right of free speech was a collective right existing only to voters and only as to political speech? I doubt it. Beyond that, the militia was at the time of the founding of the Constition, all freemen capable of bearing arms, and in fact by federal law is all males between the ages of 18 and 45 and all female members of the National Guard, with some minor exceptions, so your National Guard theory is wrong as a matter of fact. Moreover, not one legal scholar ever embraced this restrictive view of the amendment prior to the 1930s. The evidence is overwhelming that the amendment was intended to protect private ownership of arms, otherwise it would have essentially gutted the federal government's powers to arm and control the organized militia set forth in Article 1, Section 8. You need to actually read the militia clauses to understand this.First, if the First Amendment read as the commenter suggests, I would have a more restrictive view of free speech, at least constitutionally. As it stands, the First Amendment protects all speech (or almost all, for practical purposes). However, under the commenter's hypothetical amendment, if there is some form of speech that is clearly not directed toward political discourse, it could be outlawed (e.g. the recent "BONG HITS 4 JESUS" case would be a no-brainer). Of course, I would have major problems with such a rule and I would question the wisdom of the framers of the Constitution if they did that, but I would indeed recognize that it does not protect all speech.
Second, I do not argue that the Amendment did not protect private ownership at the time of ratification. As commenter points out, private ownership had to exist in order for Congress to "provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia." As a matter of fact, this seems indisputable. However, given that a broad understanding of "the militia" no longer exists, and Congress is not organizing, arming, and disciplining this non-existant militia, not allowing private ownership would no longer detract from Congress' Article 1, Section 8 powers as a practical matter.
I've never been a proponent of Originalism or Textualism or any other of those jurisprudential theories that masquerade as "judicial self-restraint." I think that the Constitution is an organic document, so to speak. In order for it to be relevant in modern times, we need to make it relevant. And given that the understanding of the word "militia" has drastically changed since 1787, I think it is foolish to interpret the Second Amendment in 2007 based on a 1787 definition.

Thermal imaging (also sometimes referred to as thermography, infrared imaging or thermal scanning) is the means by which humans can see the infrared portion of the light spectrum.

Hello, I wanted to write today to talk about galvanic corrosion. For those of you not familar with galvanic corrosion it is an electrochemical reaction when one metal corrodes from another when both are immersed in a electrolyte that is conductive (such as sea water). Dissimilar metals and metal alloys have different electrode potentials when two or more of these metals exist in the same electrolyte. When this happens a galvanic couple is created and depending upon…Continue

Over the last twelve months we have had the pleasure of meeting lots of new and exciting clients. One area we were delighted to get our teeth into was the meat category.
We have carefully carved out and served up some great rebrands for old favourites such as Rudd's and The Butcher's Daughter (formerly Cashel Fine Foods) as well as generating packaging for some beautiful new products from Lisduff.
Why not have a butchers and let us know what you think?
We also dived into the fish sector with an exciting rebrand for Kinsale Gourmet. If you are ever thinking of rebranding make sure to drop us a line (…get it?)

We were asked to design the Christmas graphics and details for Collins 234 shopping centre in the heart of Melbourne (Collins Street). The final artwork was placed on shop windows and throughout the main thoroughfare with posters in light boxes around the centre.
In this project we were given a tight timeline (from design brief through to production and installation) in addition to working with previously set brand colours and established Christmas decorations. The solution had to meet the deadline and criteria.
This happens frequently as we are usually given limitations and guidelines by our clients to work with however the goal is to produce something on-point, appealing and suitable for the organisation/audience.
The end result was a design (loosely) based on the shapes created by snowflakes and the romantic notions of Christmas which were given a modern and graphic update. Shoppers happy, client happy, us happy!

Lining Up for the Jobs Ride
This time of year, Coney Island has a dreamy, forsaken feel verging on the post-apocalyptic. The rides are still. The smiling 10-foot waiter atop the shuttered clam stand offers a frothy beer to an empty boardwalk. It's so quiet on Surf Avenue, you can hear the buzz of the neon Nathan's Famous sign.
But on a recent afternoon, one corner of Coney was bustling with a mob of folks from all over town. The city was holding a job fair for amusement park ride operators, game hosts and ticket-takers, and hundreds showed up to apply. If your other options are working the fryer at McDonald's or selling M&Ms on the subway, a summer job at Coney must sound like paradise.
One measure of a fellow's perceived value to society may be the treatment he receives at a job interview. When you've made it, you're treated like a pageant queen. Folks take you out to lunch and laugh at your jokes. No one asks to see your driver's license. When you're applying for an $8-an-hour park job, though, you have to spend your Thursday afternoon shivering in a long line stretching around a minor league baseball stadium.
Some hopefuls kept warm in the 35-degree temperatures by huddling with new friends. Others stomped their feet. Paul Money, a former janitor from Florida with intense blue eyes, killed the two-hour wait by regaling his peers with tales of his elaborate chemistry experiments proving biblical assertions. "They thought it was pretty interesting," he reported later. "They started to think deep about it."
Once applicants made it into the heated stadium gallery, they were still too cold to take off their coats. They sat in plastic bucket seats and filled out their intake forms as Shirley Aikens, a volunteer from the Housing Authority, barked instructions: "Have your IDs out! Men take off your hats!"
"It's more standard, more professional if the gentlemen remove their hats," explained Ms. Aikens, who wore a snappy black fedora with a leopard-print band. She grinned and acknowledged her own toque: "I'm getting over a cold!"
The volunteers ran a tight ship, directing the applicants to stand and shift to the next row of chairs every time the line inched forward. Gaps between seats were not tolerated. "It gets annoying, but you just deal with it," said one applicant with a shrug. Besides, he added, most job fairs are worse: "Like going to the DMV. At least these lines are moving."
It was a young crowd, mostly folks in their 20s and 30s: students and parents who had lost jobs as retail clerks, janitors and home health aides. Then there was Leonid Levingart, 74, dressed in a fur-lined hat with ear flaps and a paisley scarf. The Moscow native moved to Brooklyn 33 years ago, and worked in security for decades. Like many applicants, he got excited when he heard about the fair on News 12, following the city's big press conference (11 officials, 11 speeches) about the 450 job openings. He was having a hard time finding work and had high hopes for a Coney job: "It's a nice place, you know, in the summer time. Because it's so windy!"
Once they were prepped, applicants moved to a second set of chairs facing in the other direction, and waited to be screened. Jonathan Malave, dressed in a sharp navy blue suit, striped tie and polished black dress shoes, stood out in a sea of jeans and hoodies. "There's no overdressing for a job," said the 18-year-old, who grew up in Coney Island and studies psychology at Borough of Manhattan Community College.
He had some experience with the importance of dress. Last year, he landed a job as a ride operator, but showed up on his first day wearing pants of the wrong color. He was dismissed on the spot.
Ah, the rigors of the New Coney Island. These job openings were at Luna Park and Scream Zone, the squeaky-clean new parks operated by Zamperla, the international amusement operator determined to turn Coney into a Disney World North, where fresh-faced kids in bright blue polo shirts and khakis warn customers to put out their cigarettes. I'd rather apply at Deno's Wonder Wheel, the old-school park next door, where the middle-age employees choose their own outfits (track suits, muscle shirts) and smoke on the job.
While jobs at Coney Island are highly prized, the city says only a third of last year's hires are returning to work this summer—most have moved on. In contrast, nearly 60% of the summer crew at Deno's returns year after year. But if you want to join this tight-knit clan, the requirements are stiff.
"My big thing is, if you can't fill out the application, you can't work here," says Deno's office manager, Joann Amato. "If you can't read, how are you going to operate a ride?"
The bar for game operators is just as high: "We're looking for someone who's not going to rob anybody, not steal from us, or try to steal from anybody. Because believe me, that does go on."
Back at the ballpark, applicants moved on to phase two: the screening. Seven tables covered with plastic tablecloths were set up in a second gallery, manned by HR types. The typical evaluation lasted about two minutes: "Are you able to stand all day? Can you work weekends?"
Folks who passed the screening were led to a third gallery, where they waited another 20 minutes to meet with a scheduler and book a real job interview. Still, they beamed as if they'd hit the lottery.
"It makes you feel like you're a couple steps away from getting a job," said Antoinette Williams, who had been hunting for work since October.
But for some, the wait had just begun. By late afternoon, the schedulers ran out of interview slots. Mr. Malave, the sharp-dressed student, reported he'd been put on the waiting list. His hope: to land the job, save his earnings and move to Florida. "I just want to get out of Coney," he said. "I've been here too long already."

This news follows closely on from the recent announcement that LinkedIn reached 70 million users worldwide and confirms that LinkedIn is continuing to gain popularity throughout the world.
Whilst headline user numbers make interesting reading, I am always more interested in the rate of growth and the number of 'active' users - anybody who has spent anytime searching LinkedIn will know that there are many duplicated and obviously dormant profiles on LinkedIn.
Growth rate
In terms of growth the figures are still very impressive - 3 million new users every month (more than 1 a second!) and over 100,000 in the UK.
It took LinkedIn 477 days to reach its first million users......its last million took just 12 days!
This has led to a growth of LinkedIn employees, they expect to have over 850 staff by the end of this year - at the end of 2008 they had just 228! They have recently opened offices in Amsterdam, Australia, India, Canada and their new global headquarters in Dublin (although the powerbase is still in California).
Active Users
The latest figures from Comscore show that they currently have 42 million unique visitors per month (60% of users) - this has increased 3 fold over the last 2 years.
There were over 1 billion people searches performed last year
100,000 users join groups every day.
There are over 1 million company profiles.
There are over 100 million API calls every day.
So when is it all going to end? Well, LinkedIn have calculated that there is a target audience (professionals) of 500 million in the world so they still have plenty to go at!
In the UK it is estimated that the figure is closer to 12 million so todays announcement means that they have reached a 3rd of their target population!
I believe the biggest threat to LinkedIn does not come from other business networks - Viadeo is still growing (30 million users worldwide) but it just doesn't have the same international reach and LinkedIn is experiencing impressive growth in Viadeo's homeland of France (over 1 million users). Xing is even less of a threat where coverage is mainly limited to the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). In my opinion it wont be long before users in all of these countries get fed up with using more than 1 network (who has the time?!) and convert over to LinkedIn exclusively.
I believe the biggest threat to LinkedIn comes from Facebook who are still struggling to monetize their impressive user base (over 22 million in the UK!) and are getting more interested in the business/professional market. Friends in the US tell me that Facebook is increasingly being seen as a business/social network over there.
I am not convinced, maybe its a UK/European cultural thing but I struggle to see how professionals will adjust to their social life (facebook) and their professional life (LinkedIn) merging together - it just doesnt feel right to me but its certainly one to watch.
What do you think? Could Facebook start to take over LinkedIn's mantle as the natural home to online business networking?

New plant in Bangladesh joins the KMG (Khater Massaad Group) family
Successfully started up in the first quarter of 2013, an all-new Sacmi-supplied plant is now running at full capacity at 110 Km from Dhaka. This new industrial gem has a floor and wall tile output capacity of 12,500 square metres per day, all intended for the growing local market.
Starting with body preparation, this plant consists of seven 34,000-litre drum mills, an ATE65 spray drier, all supplied and engineered right down to the last part by Sacmi. The pressing section features two PH3020 presses with an inter-column clearance of 2250 mm and a 5-channel EM5 drier that is 2850 mm wide and 19.6 metres long. The firing area includes a 153.3-metre long FCC260 kiln equipped with an air recovery system that channels cooling air into the combustion area to reduce gas consumption.
The order also includes glaze grinding equipment and, above all, no less than 3 sorting lines, two of which handle the product directly as it leaves the kiln and one positioned at the outfeed of the squaring line.
The parent company (the above-cited Khater Massaad Group) clearly has every intention of expanding rapidly: further confirmation of this is seen in the assembly work currently being carried out on more machines intended to double output. This additional order includes six 34,000-litre drum mills, an ATI90 spray drier, two PH5000L presses with an inter-column clearance of 1750 mm (and a pressing force of 5000 tons - a first for Bangladesh), a 5-channel, 2850 mm wide, 22.4-metre long EM5 drier, an FCC285 kiln having the same length as the previous one and a further 3 sorting lines, one of which is positioned after the polishing line.
This array of machines clearly indicates that their owners aim to play a pivotal role on the market: daily output capacity is, in fact, 9000 m2 of 600x600 tile and the same line can also produce large sizes that had not, until now, been produced in Bangladesh.
Yet another demonstration, then, of the Sacmi Group's proficiency as a global, fast, reliable partner.

Los Angeles >> Lily Fryer, a 2014 Red Bluff High School graduate and senior at University of California at Los Angeles, was awarded a 2018 Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Fellowship in the fall following a highly competitive nationwide contest.
The Rangel Fellowship, funded by the U.S. Department of State and managed by Howard University, supports extraordinary individuals who want to pursue a career as a Foreign Service Officer in the U.S. Department of State. It will provide Fryer with about $95,000 in benefits over a two-year period and give her the opportunity to represent her country overseas. She was one of only 30 fellows selected nationwide.
Fryer will graduate from UCLA in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in International Development and Geography/Environmental Studies. She has interned on Capitol Hill at the Congressional Management Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center, the National Park Service at Lassen Volcanic National Park, the California Public Interest Research Group and the International Visitors Council of Los Angeles.
On campus, Fryer holds several leadership roles including as a committee member for the Project Rural India Social Health and Improvement, financial chair of the International Affairs Student Association, committee leader of UNICEF at UCLA, and an instructor at the American Culture and Conversation. She has studied abroad in Italy, Spain and Nicaragua, and speaks Spanish. She hopes to study international affairs on the East Coast.
While a student in Red Bluff, Fryer was recognized by several community groups and awarded scholarships from the Dairyville Community Club and Tehama County Democrats.
Fryer plans to pursue a master's degree in international affairs before beginning her career as a Foreign Service Officer.
As part of the Rangel Program, Fryer will work for a member of congress on international issues in summer 2020. In the summer of 2019, the U.S. Department of State will send her overseas to work in a U.S. Embassy to get hands-on experience with U.S. foreign policy and the work of the Foreign Service. Upon graduation, she will become a U.S. diplomat, embarking on one of the most challenging and rewarding careers of service to her country.
"We are thrilled to have Lily join our program," said Patricia Scroggs, director of the program. "It was clear then that she had a strong commitment to making a difference in the world through diplomacy. Her experience at UCLA, as well as her intern and volunteer experience, have provided an outstanding foundation for her future success. I am confident that she will excel in graduate school and will contribute to global peace and prosperity as a U.S. diplomat."

Through the Veil of the Soul, curated by D. Dominick Lombardi
January 12 - February 11, 2016
opening reception, Tuesday January 12th, 6-8pm
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.' - Edgar Allan Poe
The art selected for this exhibition has the distinction of being soulful. When deep critical thoughts and emotions are revealed in a painting a visceral effect may emerge through the layers of paint and posturing. This illumination of some inexplicable sight or sensation is akin to a pigmented atmosphere that is pierced by the sound of a ship's horn on a foggy night. There is, in this battle between unknowing and knowing, the hope for an understanding of something that is rather misleading at times, even when we anticipate feeling something concrete or easily definable we can get lost, meditating in our own thoughts and day dreams. And it is this elusive place or state of being that one's soul may speak or guide us.
Especially in the arts, one's spirit or soul can become an energy source. We look, as artists, for answers not just to the selfish questions that may profit us in some way, but to the puzzles presented in representing something you can't actually see, or something that you could have seen or felt if you were looking or feeling carefully enough.
Moses Hoskins sees, through thin washes of mixed media, shapes in transition from one dimension to the next. We feel the presence of an unconscious, manipulating, combative soul making malleable forms bend and break to fit some indecipherable scheme, while order is fortified by the artist's choice of line and color. The result is this poetic vision that conveys clashing and coalescing alternate dimensions.
Peter Konsterlie creates art that blends complicated scientific theory and data with easily recognizable representations to form the ever-transient current of the restless soul. Working in many layers, multiple media and divergent techniques the artist brings forth a certain shift in the viewer's awareness of one's place in the big picture while establishing ample ambiguity to drive the narrative.
In my own work I find it curious how certain individuals, saints in this instance, have such powerful and inspiring souls. I am by no means religious, I find the explanations the sciences put forth about our world and existence to be far more plausible, yet there is this curiosity I have for the souls of certain saints that inspires and challenges me as an artist to represent them in a contemporary way.
Michelle Mackey creates art that both pulls you in and dares you to stay. There is a very tangible apprehension to move in on the narrative here, a feeling that there is the presence of a lost soul that can play with your head by bending your thinking. Then the story changes, the textures, colors and perspective challenges you and you realize that these are beautiful places filled with extraordinary mystery.
Rachel Phillips paints in such a way that the viewer is reminded there is always humor and buoyancy even in the darker days. She asks if we know just how complex the physical world can be, or how contested our sense of reality can become. She is forceful, her visions are stormy and her gut tells her to defy the senses and move to where the spirit wills and the journey takes us.
Kjeld Tidemand looks at the world around him and sees many interchangeable universes colliding in a multitude of media. This concept of multiple voices layered conceals certain souls that wade through the murky muck of modern-day virtual realities, unable to find their way back into the mix. The resulting marks, textures and colors in his art suggest this state is timeless and always in flux.
-D. Dominick Lombardi, curator
Endnote: From The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe, With a Memoir by Rufus Wilmont Griswold, And Notices Of His Life and Genius by N. P. Willis and J. R. Lowell, Volume III, The Literati, Page 525

I want you to know that I DID NOT make a new years resolution this year. I have in the past and I have always failed at sticking to my plan. I made a lifestyle change last year in the Summer of 2014. For those of you who do not know my entire story please read it here. In a nutshell I went from having horrible anxiety and on medication to lowering my cholesterol, working out and being off my medication! I became a health and fitness coach and took on my own goals for changing my weight and health. So far I have lost 20lbs and a ton of inches (lost count!) I lowered my cholesterol (see how I did that here) and have more muscle tone in my body then I have every had in my life (hubby can vouch for that one - ha).
I have some big goals and it is not because it's January. I have a trip coming up in March and I want to look and feel confident in sleeveless dresses and a bathing suit. I am working out to Insanity Max 30 and will be pushing harder then ever before. I am tired of my jeans fitting tight and I DO NOT want to buy more clothing. I am TIRED of wearing leggings and feeling that that "LEGGING" is my paint size. I am READY for this. I am READY to step it UP A NOTCH!
So it is accountability time for me. I have seen these types of accountability jars before and really decided I needed to do this. I am very visual so even on days I may feel good I can still look at these two jars sitting above my kitchen sink and say I SEE PROGRESS and I STILL NEED TO PUSH HARD! So along with my challenge groups this is what is keeping me accountable each and every day!
Supplies Needed to Make Accountability Jars:
2 small glass vases or jars
Chalk board stickers (or any other type of sticker or sticker letters)
I bought all these items at my local craft store! Some I had already in my craft bin. If your struggling for accountability make these crafty little guys. They take just a few minutes! If you do please share them with me! I would LOVE to see them.
Are you stuck at a weight loss plateau or need to get into a better and healthier routine? WANT TO JOIN ME IN MY ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAM? Please message me! I will work with you one on one and will help you pick the perfect fitness and nutrition plan for you!
Contact me today! I would LOVE to hear from you!
