Adults Only Wedding Invitation Wording
On your wedding day, you reserve the right to ask your guests to cater to your wishes.
Requesting an adults only wedding is something to do tastefully. If the children's names are not included on the envelope of the invitation, the recipients will usually realize that the children are not invited. However, to be very clear about your wishes, you might want to talk with those families and add a tastefully worded note as part of your wedding invitation wording.
A few things to consider:
- You may want to consider arranging for a room, babysitter and meals for the children.
- It could be considered rude to just say "no kids allowed" or "no children."
- If you have any children in your wedding party it might be considered unfair to not allow children as guests.
Here are some specific examples of formal and casual options.
To make these options fit your needs, just change the names, dates and location information. For additional help on creating your wedding invitation wording, be sure to look for the "Make It Yours" information blocks for additional tips.

Data leakage of users of different services because of cracking of the last — not a rarity, unfortunately. It is worth remembering sensational cracking of service of changes of Ashley Medison when in the Network data of millions of users flowed away. A huge number of users were just bots, but it changes nothing — each of us is vulnerable.
In the Network even data of users who monitor the accounts flow away, think out difficult passwords, try to provide negative scenarios. But leaks all the same happen. And interesting nuance — if about data security of adults all monitor and everywhere, then a problem of data protection of children in the Network somehow not too very famous. And here it is even more problems, children are not too well acquainted with bases of information security. And if yes, that hackers find other ways of data acquisition of kids. It is possible to give recent cracking of the VTech services (the vendor of children's electronic toys) as a result of which in the Network data of millions of accounts of little users flowed away as an example.
In total it is about 4,8 million records, including names, e-mail, dates of birth, etc. However, here the most part an uchetok belonged to parents, but about 200 thousand are accounts of children. And hackers got access not only to uchetka, but also to hundreds of thousands of photos and other materials. Lorenzo Bicchierai who often writes for Motherboard became one of the first users who found cracking. This user decided to address the information security specialist.
The first step which was taken — some accounts from all data array were verified. Requests were sent to some e-mail addresses (with a situation explanation), and some users answered. Result — yes, it is unambiguous, the Vtech service was cracked.
By the way, for a long time the service notifying users in case of cracking already works. It is possible to be checked and subscribe for notifications here.
So the service interface looks
And it means that anyone can carry out identification of adults and children and to understand who parents of kids whose data were "merged" in the Network. Moreover, data allow to learn the residence of most of the people registered on Vtech.
It is interesting that the administration of service was not aware of cracking until did not write to it Lorenzo. Only after this work began on mitigation of consequences of cracking. Besides, it was succeeded to contact also the hacker who performed all operation. As it appeared, he made this "just for fun". Given it were simply not necessary.
Here in such type all data were obtained
Specification contained in the top — parent.csv file where there were nearly 5 million lines. The following given users:
Passwords are presented here in such form:
And here such data were required at registration of the parent of the child:
The company Vtech produces many tens of models of ustryostvo for children and their parents, including, for example, the video nurse. Also Vtech have an online store from where parents can download e-books, applications and games for devices of the children.
The hacker who hacked the Vtech network reported that it was used SQL иньекция. The hacker will get access to Web servers and a DB of the company, with plny access.
After the analysis of the incident it turned out that cracking was only business of time. For example, passwords were hashed by means of MD5 not most difficult for cracking of algorithm, to put it mildly. Moreover, questions for a reminder of the password were saved in the form of the literal text. So the problem with obtaining or zeroing of the password was not in general. The same information, at due desire, could be used also for attempt to receive control over the user's uchetka on other services — Gmail or the bank account as an example.
Worst of all there was the fact that accounts of many children were connected with accounts of parents, plus is specified also the residential address. Presently such relation to information storage of children is just inexcusable.
How to define parents? Yes it is very simple:
Data on parents are output here in such type:
Example of records:
215836, 'foo%40bar.com', 'kc-im2.vtechda.com', 0, 2700413, 2700413, 'USeng', '2013-12-25 1:55:21 PM', NULL
and record of the child:
215841, 'LittleJohnny', 'kc-im2.vtechda.com', 3974296, 0, 2700413, 'USeng', '2013-12-25 1:55:23 PM', NULL
Well, and plus to everything, optional data:
From where they? From other websites which are connected with Vtech. Namely:
And everything looks rather lovely:
Here so the registration form looks:
Let's add the account of the child? Without problems:
It should be noted that the safety problems sounded above (for example, an opportunity for read seconds to connect the child and the parent) not and just to correct. They if it is so possible to be expressed, fundamental, Vtech it is necessary to remake everything if not again to develop the web services and an authentication system.
After cracking became known, parents began to be indignant, asking why the companies the address and all other data only was to know in order that clients had an opportunity to download pair of e-books.
And it especially is strange that Vtech does not use the standards of safety which for a long time became obligatory. For example, SSL is not used anywhere, and data (passwords, logins) are transferred in open form. In general, it is even strange that nobody paid attention to service earlier.
Main problems of safety of Vtech
Let's look once again what mistakes were made by the company which annual turnover makes about 2 billion US dollars.
1. There is no SSl. Data transmission goes through open channels, and data very much. It is information on parents, the password, login, information on the child.
2. Passwords are stored in slightly protected type, so to say. And here confidential questions any more at all are protected by nothing, it is the literal text. And passwords of children are also stored in open form. Same children why their data to protect, huh?
3. Lack of protection from SQL иньекций. Here in general everything is not simple, and it is very simple.
4. Universal use of Flash. Even the creator, the Adobe company urges to refuse this technology. And the company of such level as Vtech, could make it for a long time, using safe technologies.
Take care also the children!

Announced at PSX
As a "one more thing" before he left the stage at PSX just moments ago, Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that Raven will be playable in Gravity Rush 2 with her own little side story.
Previously she was confirmed as an AI-controlled entity, but Yoshida noted that because of fan demand, she will be playable. It's out in January 2017 so we'll find out soon enough for ourselves just how deep that rabbit hole goes!
It feels like I've been waiting forever for this game, but it's nearly here.

Puhaty Lecture Puts Teamwork in the Spotlight
By Genevieve Long
Check out the lecture recording at www.ohsu.edu/son/alumni
Nurse: "I'm the patient advocate." Pharmacist: "So what does that make me? The patient's enemy?"
These lines from the play "Bedside Manners," performed at this year's Henrietta Doltz Puhaty lecture, show how a common phrase can create conflict between health care providers in diff erent professions. Training, traditional hierarchies and terms like "physician extender" keep nurses, physicians and other practitioners apart.
Suzanne Gordon, a nationally known patient safety advocate, says the results can be deadly. "When a doctor dismisses a nurse's concern or a nurse doesn't listen to a housekeeper, lives can be at risk." Gordon argues that interprofessional teamwork is essential to patient safety, and building true teams requires training every member to behave in new ways.
Meet the Author
Suzanne Gordon has authored, coauthored and edited 18 books on patient safety and nursing. Her latest book, Collaborative Caring: Stories and Reflections on Teamwork in Health Care will be available in December from Cornell University Press. (Gordon co-edits the press's Culture and Politics of Health Care series.)
Gordon's other books include First, Do Less Harm: Confronting the Inconvenient Problems of Patient Safety and Beyond the Checklist: What Else Health Care Can Learn from Aviation Teamwork and Safety, which includes a foreword by Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.
"Historically, every health care profession has strong patient safety advocates," Gordon says. "The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report To Err is Human launched a national dialogue about patient safety in the United States, and their second report, Crossing the Quality Chasm, launched our modern patient safety movement."
Gordon's books are available on Amazon.com or through her website, www.suzannegordon.com.
Why patient safety matters
"In 1999 and 2001, Institute of Medicine reports showed that 98,000 people die in the United States every year from preventable medical errors, and 1.5 million are injured," says Gordon. "Those reports also showed that more than 75 percent of errors are due to failed communication. Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S." (Recent reports show more than 400,000 deaths from medical errors today.)
Health care can learn from an unlikely place: aviation safety. "The airline industry had similar problems with hierarchy," she explains. "Since the Federal Aviation Administration has required crews to work in teams and train together regularly, we've seen a steady decline in serious crashes."
New behaviors, better outcomes
Gordon says behavior change is the key. "If a physician or nurse is abusive, you might say 'A leopard can't change its spots. But the leopard can change its behavior. Sexual harassment used to be an everyday occurrence at work, and now it is no longer tolerated because we demanded behavior change."
Hosting "Bedside Manners" is just one example of the School of Nursing's commitment to interprofessional education and collaboration. "Team building, skill building, coaching—all those things must happen to change things for our patients," Gordon says. "It's good to come to a place that's on the right track."

For Immediate Release
Elizabeth Heyd, 202-289-2424, email@example.com
Study: U.S. Underestimates Costs of Carbon Pollution and Climate Change
NRDC: "A Wake-Up Call to Invest in Clean, Renewable Energy Sources"
WASHINGTON - The federal government is significantly underestimating the costs of carbon pollution because it is using a faulty analytical model, according to a new study published in the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences.
A more appropriate accounting of costs would pave the way to cleaner, more economically efficient sources of power generation, the study found.
"This is a wake-up call for America to start aggressively investing in low carbon sources of energy. The very real economic benefits will accrue quickly and increase over time," said Dr. Laurie Johnson, chief economist in the climate and clean air program at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
"With approximately 40 percent of all carbon emissions in the U.S. coming from power plants, the economic advantages of clean electricity sources are significant," she said.
Johnson, who co-authored the study with Chris Hope (University of Cambridge, Judge Business School), "The Social Cost of Carbon in U.S. Regulatory Impact Analyses," (http://www.springerlink.com/content/863287021p06m441/fulltext.pdf), said the model used by the government is incomplete because it all but ignores the economic damages that climate change will inflict on future generations. That model was the product of an interagency task force comprised of six cabinet agencies and six executive branch offices.
The real benefits of carbon reduction range from 2.6 to more than 12 times higher than the government's estimate.
"It turns out that the price we now pay for energy is much higher than what shows up on our electric bills or the tab at the gas pump," Johnson said.
Without properly accounting for pollution costs, natural gas appears to be the cheapest generation option for new power plants. However, as Johnson writes here in her blog, the revised estimates show, after incorporating the economic costs of carbon and other pollutants from fossil fuel generation, building new generation using wind and solar power would be more cost effective than either natural gas or coal.
Supplementary analysis by one of the authors shows even greater gains from replacing existing coal plants with new wind and solar photovoltaic, or with new fossil fuel generation that has carbon capture and storage technology.
The country's existing coal fleet accounts for approximately 36 percent of all U.S. CO2 emissions and is responsible for virtually all power-sector sulfur dioxide emissions, which cause thousands of premature deaths every year, respiratory problems, heart disease, and a number of ecosystem damages.

NEW YORK – Daniel Hamilton will get his chance to play in the NBA.
Hamilton, who surprised many experts by leaving UConn after his sophomore season and entering the NBA draft weeks before he needed to make the decision, was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder — who bought the pick from the Denver Nuggets — in the second round, at No. 56, on Thursday night at Barclays Center.
Hamilton was home in Los Angeles with his family as the draft unfolded. With the influx of international players – a record 14 selected in the first round – several underclassmen were pushed to late in the first round, the second round or out of the draft altogether.
There have been many success...

ABQ Free Press caught up with Chelsea Wolfe by email to discuss her current tour, the darkness of her personal "Abyss" and sleep paralysis.
Iron Moon in the 'Abyss': An Interview with Chelsea Wolfe
We all must hit the road to Dreamland. If we're lucky, it's a pleasant enough voyage – a muddled confabulation of the day's thoughts, convo and concerns. Aye, there's the rub though.
For some of us, what dreams may come seem less an intriguing amalgamation and more like we're trapped on Willy Wonka's Wondrous Boat Ride replete with attendant horrors.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke estimates 40 million Americans suffer from chronic long-term sleep disorders. These range from insomnia to horrifically vivid nightmares to sleep paralysis.
Imagine not knowing whether you're awake or asleep. Imagine hallucinating a stranger in your bedroom. Then, imagine you can't move … because your own body won't let you. That's sleep paralysis. Perchance to dream, indeed.
Sleep problems have plagued dark Scorpio singer Chelsea Wolfe since childhood, with no traceable origin save an overactive imagination. That eerie roiling dissonance also plays out in her music, which combines elements of goth rock, folk horror, black metal and electronica.
Wolfe recorded a tribute to British anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni, lent her vocals to an album from post-metal band Russian Circles and cites an eclectic assortment of sonic influences, including late R&B singer Aaliyah, Russian singer-songwriter Vladimir Vysotsky, dark-folk lord Nick Cave and country legend Hank Williams.
With such a hodgepodge of styles at work, Wolfe's sound could be distinctively divisive, but her music connects rather than separates. Her most recent album, 2015's "Abyss," delves deeply into Wolfe's own nighttime underworld to brilliant effect. Wolfe performs at Sister (407 Central NW) on Tuesday, April 26. Doors are at 8 p.m., and the show starts at 9. New Zealand brother duo A Dead Forest Index open. Admission is $16, and tickets to this 21-plus recital are available at holdmyticket.com.
ABQ Free Press caught up with Wolfe by email to discuss her current tour, the darkness of her personal "Abyss" and sleep paralysis.
ABQ Free Press: You've toured with everyone from Queens of the Stone Age to Russian Circles and Wovenhand. How is it touring with A Dead Forest Index?
Chelsea Wolfe: I've definitely gotten to tour with a lot of rad bands. A Dead Forest Index toured with us before on our last European tour, and it was great to hear them play every night. It's intimate, beautiful music [that's] well-served in a live setting.
Tell us about your latest album "Abyss." What challenges did you face in creating this record?
I knew going into it that "Abyss" was going to be a difficult album to write, because I wanted to approach some things deep in me that I'd been avoiding for a while. I knew it was gonna get dark.
"Abyss" examines your lifelong struggles with sleep disorders, including night terrors and sleep paralysis. What are your thoughts on broaching such personal, tenuous territory in your songwriting?
I've had strange sleep and dream issues since I was a kid. At one point, my parents took me to a sleep research center to figure out what was going on – because I'd lash out violently in my sleep and they couldn't get me to wake up or I'd have insomnia for days because I didn't want to go to sleep and deal with the nightmares.
I asked them about this recently to make sure it wasn't some made-up memory and they said it was true, but that the doctors couldn't find anything particularly wrong with me. As I got older, I started having sleep paralysis but I didn't know it was called that, and I never talked about it. It was just normal for me.
Almost every night I'd wake up, and the figures from my dreams were still there in the room with me – moving towards me. It got worse when I moved to Los Angeles and was living in a loud, chaotic part of town in a house full of roommates. I made the decision to move out into the mountains while I was recording "Abyss." That helped a lot.
Producer John Congleton has been at the helm of a lot of fantastic recent albums, "Abyss" included. I've interviewed quite a few artists who have called upon his skills. Can you tell me more about your experience of working with Congleton?
If I'm honest, there was a lot of tension between John and I. We approach music and recording differently, but I think that's one of the reasons it worked so well. I was in Dallas for about a month, staying at a shitty hotel off the highway, and during the day, we'd hole up in John's studio and work out the sounds for the album.
One of my favorite things he'd do sound-wise was take a part I'd written on guitar and have us try it on a different instrument or a synth. There's a lot of Moog bass synth on the album that gave it a depth that made sense with the lyrics.
You've cited a number of artists working in visual mediums as influences including filmmaker Werner Herzog. How important is imagery to your songwriting process?
Images don't necessarily influence my songwriting process, but I've always been a fan of soundtrack music and film score, and I think cinematically when I'm writing.
I like to close my eyes and see the movement of the music there. Sometimes it's chaotic shapes, sometimes colors. Herzog has a way of approaching a seemingly simple subject and presenting it as magic. That's something I also strive for in my music.

ICE seizes more than $2.2 million in luxury watches and special cars from members of a drug trafficking organization
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents seized 15 luxury watches with an approximate market value of $1 million and 16 classic and collection cars, with an approximately value of $2.2 million, this morning from members of the Jose Figueroa-Agosto - aka Junior Capsula - drug trafficking organization.
Among the items seized is a Roger Dubois watch with an estimated value of $100,000 and a special edition Camaro with an engine that runs on jet fuel, valued at more than $75,000.
"These seizures are proof that ICE HSI will continue to aggressively go after those organizations dedicated to the importation of drugs into Puerto Rico as well as their assets," said Roberto Escobar Vargas, special agent in charge of ICE HSI in Puerto Rico.

The topic of the pre-Civil War Michigan Democratic Governors' activities during the conflict occurred to me recently when reading about the role that Stephen A. Douglas played in the 1860 election. Once it was apparent to him that he would not win, and then in the months after Lincoln's election and through the Fort Sumter crisis, Douglas played a pro-Union and anti-secession role until his untimely death. So the question occurred: what did Michigan's ex-Governors who were of the Democratic party do once the Civil War broke out? We will head backwards in time as we take up each one in turn ...
Today we look at the last Dem to hold the highest office before the Republican ascendancy:
"Andrew Parsons was born in Hoosick, New York, in 1817. In 1836 he settled in Shiawassee County and at the age of nineteen was elected the first county clerk. After holding a number of county and state offices, Parsons in 1852 became a regent of the University of Michigan. The same year he was elected lieutenant-governor, and he became acting governor in March 1853 upon the resignation of Governor Robert McClelland. The formation of the Republican party in 1854 badly split the Democratic forces and perhaps accounted for Parsons's failure to receive the gubernatorial nomination. Instead, Parsons was elected to the state legislature from Shiawassee County. He fell ill during the legislative session of 1855 and returned to Corunna, where he died on June 6, 1855." (Source: Michigan Historical Marker text, registered Site S0295; erected 1969; location: 318 McNeil Street, Corunna)
That answers that, sadly. Governor Parsons, the "boy Clerk", was gone long before the War.

Soaring high. Finish the race.
While living there are a lot of challenges, each facets of life and journey has its own roadblock. Ones view of his own capacity determines how the person will take each roadblocks and outcome is dependent on the action the person chose.
Let me share with you some practical ways I did to overcome each roadblocks of my life that any distant learner can apply. The first one that I would like to share with you is that, I always set my mind to the point in time in the future wherein I will look back with a smile on my face ( because I know I would smile) how I overcome a roadblock. This somehow encourages me to push on – no room for quitting.
Just like anybody else, I doubt myself on being able to do things that other people can do well so naturally. Thinking that "that's their strength not mine", "my brain is wired differently" or that, "their parents might have given them more support that's why they can such and such" but there were also moments that I said to myself that, if I put my heart and mind to this then I can do it just like them. And I believe saying that to myself again and again has change my own self-knowledge of what I believe I can do and what I believe I can't do.
"Self-beliefs of efficacy play a key role in the self-regulation of motivation. Most human motivation is cognitively generated. People motivate themselves and guide their actions anticipatorily by the exercise of forethought. They form beliefs about what they can do. They anticipate likely outcomes of prospective actions. They set goals for themselves and plan courses of action designed to realize valued futures". ( Self-Efficacy, Albert Bandura Stanford University; http://sites.education.uky.edu/motivation/self-efficacy-overview/)
Past accomplishments can always be a good motivation, knowing that I was able to do some of the things I planned to do propel me to do more. When tasks get complicated and schedule gets too cramped up and all I see are lists of things to do I try to step away and look at my situation through the lens of my past accomplishments. Nothing like that gets me more charged up to finish what I have to finish.
One last thing, just like how it was mentioned in this module about model. I always try to motivate myself by looking at those people who I know have more challenging schedule and complicated things to do yet reach their goals. I focused my eyes on the
To summarize it all, the behavior I want to share with you is a behavior that does not allow any reasons to quit and expect less of him. Let us all soar high, finish the race we set for ourselves. Just like the last practical way I shared to with you, let's focused on how others can do it. We should not also be scared or be conscious to put ourselves out there and be the model that others can follow. There's nothing wrong with being good at something when it positively encourage others to be same.

Ken Loach's Turin Fest Snub Inspires New Documentary
"Dear Mr. Ken Loach" will tell the story of the British auter's decision not to accept the festival's lifetime achievement prize in protest of worker conditions.
ROME -- British auteur Ken Loach earned headlines across Italy and beyond last year when he turned down the Turin Film Festival's lifetime achievement award in solidarity with workers at Turin's National Film Museum, the festival's parent organization. A new documentary will tell all about it.
Dear Mr. Ken Loach, directed by Rossella Lamina and Nicola Di Lecce, will recount how the filmmaker found out about the plight of the workers and the fallout from his controversial decision not to attend the festival. The film's title comes from the start of the letter from fired museum worker Federico Altieri, who wrote Loach to alert him to the alleged problems.
Loach's last-minute withdrawal, which also included pulling a scheduled screening of his comedy The Angels' Share, which would have been the film's Italian premiere, sparked criticism from the festival, the city government and fellow Turin career award honoree Ettore Scola and resulted in a threatened lawsuit from festival backers.
Altieri and other workers alleged they had been downsized or had their pay slashed after the museum outsourced their security and maintenance jobs to an employment agency. For its part, the festival and museum management said the allegations were overblown and that Loach had been misinformed.
The controversy did not seem to have a negative impact on the Turin Film Festival, which turned out to be the only one among Italy's largest fests to see ticket sales rise in 2012 despite the country's moribund economic growth.
The 2013 edition of the festival, its 31st, is set for Nov. 22-30. It will be the first edition under the artistic direction of Italian comedy director Paolo Virzi, who replaced Gianni Amelio, whose mandate expired.

Chinese writers pen 'instant' Jackson bio
EmptyMore Michael Jackson coverage
SHANGHAI -- Two Chinese writers worked for 48 consecutive hours to produce an "instant" biography of Michael Jackson, despite having never met him, a state-run newspaper said Monday.
The book, called "Moonwalk in Paradise," hit the bookshelves over the weekend, the China Daily said, after the authors subsisted on a diet of coffee and cigarettes and worked round the clock to complete it.
While they are not as popular as the Taiwanese and Hong Kong stars who dominate the music scene in China, Western artists are making inroads in the local market, thanks to young fans.
Jiang Xiaoyu, one of the writers, had previously written blogs and reviews about Jackson, who died on June 25 when he went into cardiac arrest at his rented mansion in Los Angeles.
"I am not only a music critic but also a fan of the King of Pop, so I understand what fans really need," Jiang was quoted as saying. "I fought the deadline around the clock, as fans cannot wait for months."
The China Youth Daily said the writers wrote the book based on their "accumulated knowledge about the King of Pop."
"Though it is hard to tell how big the market for instant books is in China, I am sure we have done a nice job on quickly responding to market needs," the China Daily quoted Zang Yongqing, an editor at the publishing house, as saying.
The report added that at least 10 other Chinese publishers were planning "instant" books about Jackson.

If you have a fireplace, why not make it more efficient in providing a heat source for the house? Here are some tips that have worked well for me: * Stack the logs in such a way as to cause the flames (a) to lick only the back and side walls of the fireplace, and (b) burn on the room-facing surfaces of the logs for maximum radiation of heat.
Fig. 1 shows how to build the stack. Place the large logs against the back of the fireplace and the small ones (or twigs) in front of them. Be sure that a draft gap is left between the large and the front logs, especially if the surfaces are not sufficiently uneven to form the gap naturally.
The flames originate in the gap and provide the heat that maintains the burning on the front of the large logs.
The ashes underneath should be sloped forward to expose all the glowing embers to the room. You do not have to prepare the sloping ash bed. It forms inevitably when the logs are stacked and the fire fed, as shown in Fig. 1.
Remember, big or fresh logs should go on the back; small or partially burned logs on the front.
Fig. 2 shows an improvement on the basic idea. The stack of logs is identical. The improvement is achieved by placing a shield close above the logs, the purpose of which is (a) to reflect heat at them so as to maintain burning of the facing surfaces with less attention and at a higher temperature (radiational output is proportional to the fourth power of the surface's absolute temperature); and (b) to force flames closer to the fireback to extract more heat.
The shield should be made of thermally insulating material. I use 9-mm (roughly three-eighths of an inch) asbestos plate, resting on two steel rods that are wired to the andirons.
* Prevent burning on the back side of the main logs. This is best accomplished by keeping the ashes near the fireback so high that the lowest log can be sunk into them and ash shoveled into the crotch between the fireback and the logs. The arrangement is illustrated in Fig. 2.
* Make the logs burn evenly along the whole length and, if possible, have them fill the complete width of the back wall. Doing this will utilize all the available radiating surface. More important, placing the logs touching all three walls helps their ends to burn. This eliminates the usual smoke plume on them and prevents cooling of the fireplace by blocking fresh air rising in the corners.
Avoid high flames and the common mistake, shown for comparison in Fig. 3, of concentrated burning in the middle and on the wrong side of the logs. Spread the wood into the corners.
If the directions are followed, the burning is almost smokeless and only glowing embers are left at the end. In other words, there are no smoldering logs.
The creosote buildup is minimal as well, and the ashes need to be removed less frequently (two or three times a season in weekend usage).
* Remove obstacles to radiation, such as screens and glass doors. About one-fifth of all incoming heat is stopped by them. Whether this is safe for you depends on what kind of wood you burn and on the arrangement of the room.
* Place radiation-reflecting material - for instance, aluminum foil - on the hearth and the adjacent floor. Common flooring absorbs heat and, instead of warming the room, warms the air drawn into the fireplace.
* Keep the damper open to the minimum. Throttling the flue avoids drawing more air out of the room than the fire needs. The expelled air is replaced by the cold air from the outside.
* Your fireplace will probably be hottest when the last log burns low. Take advantage of the accumulated heat. Position the damper on the lowest notch and remove the screen or glass at this time, assuming they were used when the flames were present.
* Feed the fire with smaller logs toward the end to make sure they will be burned out before bedtime. Following the above steps should result in no smoldering coal left at that time.
Close the damper about a half hour after the flames disappear. The heat and gases from the remaining embers will cause no harm. My latex-painted mantle is as white today as it was years ago when I stopped wasting heat for the many hours it took the embers to cool down and go out.
The benefits of even slightly increasing the efficiency of a fireplace are astonishing.
Authorities generally agree that between 85 and 95 percent of the wood-heat content goes up the chimney. If building the fire properly means that only 85 percent rather than 95 percent of the heat is lost, the output of the fireplace has tripled.

WATCH: Badass 'Silver Sniper' blows away ISIS terrorist number 173
AN UNLIKELY war hero has blown away more Islamic State terrorists than anyone else – at the age of 62.
Sharpshooter Abu Tahseen claims to have shot dead 173 ISIS fighters in less than a year with his beloved long-range rifle.
The senior citizen – a veteran of five wars – has more jihadi scalps than Chris Kyle – the US marksman made famous by the film American Sniper.
The deadly assassin has demonstrated his skill – taking out a militant almost a mile away with his Steyr HS .50.
"It's now 173 – and it's going up"Abu Tahseen
A group of ISIS fighters made the fatal mistake of coming within Tahseen's "kill zone".
He sets up his rifle from a high vantage point, takes aim and wipes out his target.
He says one word – "sweet" – confirming another kill.
"It's now 173 – and it's going up," he says.
He adds: "You see this area?
"I guarantee – by God – no one will come up."
The specialist rifle is so powerful, Tahseen boasts his victims are thrown back one metre before they hit the deck.
"I'm relaxed, my mind is relaxed," he explains – before taking aim.
And he LOVES killing terrorists.
Last time he was given a month off, he turned up for duty after 12 days – desperate to get back on the front line.
Tahseen is a member of the Hashd Al-Shaabi, a Shia Muslim militia combating Sunni Muslim Islamic State – AKA Daesh.
He mastered his deadly talent through fighting in five wars: the Yom Kippur war, the Iran-Iraq war, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War and the present day crusade against ISIS – where he is a member if the "Popular Mobilisation Units".
A Brit marksman hailed as a hero for fighting ISIS has been exposed as a double-rapist.

It gives every women or men the confidence to go about the minute they wake up and out of the bed. We have experienced ourselves with this wonderful new feather technique to create a natural look and enhanced features that we all desire. It boosts your confidence level and feels great.
We want to share with all our friends and a wonderful person like you this wonderful experience.
FEATHER TECHNIQUE is a form of permanent makeup that provides a 3D feathering effect and is highly useful for filling in sparse or light brows without making them look fake. The results often last between two and five years, but are dependent upon your skin type and how much time you spend in the sun.
Our Semi-Permanent Makeup uses a manual needle device to create hairline strokes throughout your brows. Next, we inject the organic, hypoallergenic pigment of your choice. This pigment creates a softer look than what you would get by using brow pencils. We use a mild anesthetic to lessen discomfort of the micro pigmentation, and many clients feel comfortable going into public the next day.
If you want to define the shape of your eyebrows but you are tired of the daily penciling and bi-monthly waxing or threading, then tattoo makeup is for you.
Why choose the Feathering Technique?
Industry leading– The trademarked Feathering Technique has won awards at the highest levels and is widely considered as the gold standard in permanent eyebrow design. Noted for realism, flawlessness, and intricacy, you'll be sure to turn heads wherever you go.
No more wasted time– Whether you're a busy professional, athlete or a parent juggling family life with your job, permanent eyebrows free up the time you waste maintaining and plucking your eyebrows. Furthermore, if you find plucking both time-consuming and difficult due to impaired vision or a medical condition, permanent eyebrows are the perfect solution.
Perfectly shaped, all day– Feathering Technique permanent eyebrows not only look great, they can handle any lifestyle.
If you're physically active, your eyebrows will always remain perfect, no matter how hard you sweat!
Relief for allergies and sensitive skin– If you can't use certain cosmetics or have particularly sensitive skin, the delicate method of the feathering technique can offer lasting relief.
Permanent Makeup Eyeliner is a wonderful way to define and enhance the shape and natural beauty of your eyes. Treating yourself to this procedure provides you with some of the following benefits:
* Saves you time – time is such a commodity in today's world, and this is one time intensive task that will be eliminated every day of the year.
* Reduces stress – one slip of the wrist and your eyeliner is smeared. This always seems to happen when we're in a hurry to get out the door. No need to stress over this issue when you have permanent eyeliner.
* Prevents eye irritation which can occur when you accidentally touch your eye while applying eyeliner.
* Provides you with more confidence in your new vibrant and more youthful appearance.
* Prevents consistent stretching, and subsequent drooping of skin surrounding eyes including eyelids.
* Contact wearers with permanent eyeliner do not have to worry about getting flakes of eyeliner on their contacts, then attempting to remove their contact without further eye irritation and smearing of their makeup.
* When you apply eyeliner makeup, it's almost impossible to avoid pulling and stretching the skin on your eyelid. Using a pencil or even a small brush will create friction as you apply the eyeliner, and this alone causes the skin to stretch. Over a period of time, due to the fact that your eyes have very thin skin; the thinnest skin on your body, your skin stops bouncing back, and the skin starts looking crepe and it becomes more difficult to apply your eyeliner without making it appear smudged and uneven. Permanent eyeliner immediately eliminates this problem.
Another consideration is the aging factor. As you age, your motor skills start to deteriorate making it more difficult to have a steady hand when applying your eyeliner, and thus, more difficult to maintain the ability to even apply your eyeliner.
Beautiful, full and youthful-looking lips are a wonderful benefit of permanent lip color. There are many splendid advantages and reasons to treat yourself to permanent lip color, including never having to worry about your lipstick leaving stains on the side of a cup while you're enjoying your coffee, or disappearing while you're having a meal with friends. Many happy clients have talked about how often they took a bite out of a sandwich and discovered lipstick on the bread, and realized they wound up eating their lipstick, but with permanent lip color, this is no longer a concern.
Permanent Makeup Luscious Lips- Britt You can quickly and easily obtain the lips you have dreamed of having now and for many years to come, by enhancing your appearance with permanent lip color. This simple procedure will leave you with beautiful and natural-looking lips.
Other Benefits of Permanent Lip Color:
* Add missing bow above your lip
* Add shape to your mouth
* Eliminate lipstick "bleeding" into fine lines around your mouth
* Give your lips a fuller look if they appear too thin
* Smooth vermillion edges by tattooing shape and defining borders
* Eliminate worry about needing to touch- up lipstick.
As we age, our facial features begin to lose color. When this begins to happen with our lips, the color starts to fade, the vermillion edges appear to lose definition, and we start looking pale without lipstick. Permanent lip color instantly alleviates this sign of aging by providing you with fuller looking, and beautifully colored lips that look very natural giving you a more youthful appearance.
Unlike the rest of your facial features, the lips are not considered skin, but very thin tissue and they are ultra-sensitive. It is imperative for you to have a professional with knowledge and experience to perform this pigmentation procedure.
There's no pain to fear getting cosmetic tattoo lips. A registered nurse will give you a dental block easier than a dentist does. It is just a superficial numbing of the lips. There is no need to even block the nerves like a dentist. The block provides all the comfort you need in order to get the lip color to show up exactly the way you want.

Why deal with wind, rain and unraked leaves when the kids can show off their costumes and imbibe a bit of culture during a "fiendishly fun, family-friendly" Halloween event at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts? The museum and adjacent Children's Theatre Company are throwing a Trick-Art-Treat party during which kids can look for black cats, pumpkins, bats and prizes on a Halloween gallery hunt. Or create their own bats during an art-making activity. Plus nibble cookies, candy and cider. At a CTC photobooth, they can show off their own costumes or try out fun stuff from CTC's hoard of disguises.
And for parents and other culture-vultures, admission to "The Audacious Eye: Japanese Art from the Clark Collections" is also free during the event. While the Clark show is chock-a-block with 1,000 years of sophisticated treasures, it does have delights for pint-sized visitors including lots of birds and animals, a couple of pink elephants rolling on their backs, some huge bulls, a big fat frog, and ghosts.

You are Invited to Help _______ go from Good to Great, Faster
…by becoming part of an ongoing Practice Group that will learn and work together, to host and facilitate community meetings and invite community action, on all of the issues critical to the future of _______, as local leaders in the practice of Open Space Technology (a meeting facilitation method http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm ). We'll create a cadre of facilitators who can provide support to future community conversations (and even pay them a stipend for facilitating).
We'll kick off this special applied training on:
SESSION I Tuesday, June 21nd
SESSION II Thursday. June 23th
Wednesday June 29th 7:00 - 8:30 pm Video learning/planning session to debrief Session II
Wednesday July 6th 7:00 - 8:30 pm Video learning/planning session to prepare for facilitating Session III
SESSION III Saturday (July 9th) 9:30am-1pm
Wednesday July 13th 7:00 - 8:30 pm Video learning/planning session to prepare for facilitators to run future sessions
This course is being provided (at no registrant cost) for a small group of local leaders, by the City's Economic Development Department.
A commitment to some pre-course study, to all of the above meetings, and to shaping and supporting (over the next few months) the formation of an ongoing practice group is required.
Open Space is a simple, effective way of bringing people together to get important things done quickly, in complex situations, diverse and even conflicted communities. We and others have used this approach in (Albuquerque, Buffalo, Milwaukee, and other cities, too). It's been used hundreds of thousands of times, for more than 30 years, all around the world. People everywhere have found it to be one of the best ways to get work done in communities. The working notes from these conversations will posted online in a central site.
NOW we want to make more of this happen, on all of the complex issues critical to ________'s future. To launch this work, we're partnering with an internationally recognized leader in the practice of Open Space to guide us in developing a group of local practitioners to harness this approach for ourselves.
Do you care about the future of economic development, preserving the quality of neighborhoods, our impact on environment, arts & culture, social justice and community engagement? Do you want to meet and partner with people who share your passion? Do you want more skills and support for bringing people together to address these issues? That's what this Practice Group is for. Please join us!
Whether you want to learn to organize any community action in this simple, powerful way, or you want to invite and energize work on one or more specific issues, you are invited to join this group, take the training, and take this work to a new level together.
Registration is required...
FACILITATOR TRAINING/PRACTICE PROGRAM NOTES Discussion Questions for Debriefing Community Open Space Meeting - Session One 1. What was new or different or unusual about working in Open Space? 2. How did you feel working like this? What did you like or not? What was easy or challenging? 3. Where have you had these feelings, this sort of experience, before? (Not just in meetings) 4. What do you need to know to be able to create this experience for others? Discussion Questions for Community Facilitators' Practice Group Formation 1. Share an important story/experience of transformation, transcendence, flow, group spirit, living-on-the-edge, stretching beyond your comfort zone. Notice common themes. 2. What has [this place] been? What has is it now? And What should it be? 3. Why do you want to be part of this group and this initiative? What are you hoping for, passionate about, and/or committed to changing or creating? 4. What things have you done (experiences, practices) that are like open space and might be important or helpful in the work of the practice group? Training/Practice Roles for Session Two 1. ring the bells at opening, closing and (optionally) in between breakout sessions 2. give some or all of the opening briefing 3. stand near the community bulletin board, a.k.a the "marketplace wall" doing as LITTLE helping as possible... aspiring to nothing more than smiling and nodding toward the wall. 4. invite conveners to move breakout session notes to the newsroom (if notes will be typed) or news wall (if we're just gathering up flipchart papers) 5. pick up cups 6. hover at the edge of breakout groups, without joining the conversation, noticing the "edge" between in and out of the group. Is there a difference between groups? What is the difference between topics you care about and topics you are not very passionate about? 7. stand somewhere near the middle of the main room and listen to all the groups at once. For extra credit, listen to all the groups at once while also noticing your feet and legs, your back and shoulders, your face and head, and/or your breathing in and out. 8. answer participant questions with questions... "What do you really want to do?" and/or... "Great, will you take care of that?"
The papers and tools collected here are offered as invitation and support for you to invite and support more and more people in ___________ to get together and get important things done, toward envisioning and creating best possible futures for everyone in _________, starting along with making ___________ greater.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

If a living system is unhealthy, the way to make it more healthy is to reconnect it with more of itself.
--Francisco Varela, Biologist
Cesar Chavez, the community and labor organizer who was eventually president of the United Farm Workers, was once asked by an aspiring young organizer, "How do you organize?" He said, "First, you talk to one person, face to face, then you talk to another…" "But, Cesar," the impatient youth interrupted, "how do you really get them involved?" Chavez replied, "First, you talk to one person, face to face, and then you talk to the next and then the next…"
There are three ways of trying to win the young. There is persuasion, there is compulsion and there is attraction. You can preach at them, but that is a hook without a worm. You can say "you must volunteer," and that is of the devil. Or, you can tell them, "you are needed," and that appeal hardly ever fails.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED 5280 Roadhouse & Brewery Restaurant Review: This vintage setting---a former grain mill that most recently served as the home of the Columbine Mill brewpub---has undergone a divine facelift. Instead of the oddball setup of the previous brewers the room has been realigned, with a sunny and bright dining room facing the street. No, it's not exactly a roadhouse, but it's a darn good place to grab a fresh pint and choice morsel. The beer list is a goodie featuring eight gems from brewmaster Chuck Roosevelt. The lighter brews are clean and laced with character, the heartier beers---the IPA, the stout and the brown ale, for example---are especially delicious. Pair them up with the way-above-average brewpub fare and the tweaked American cuisine, from choice cuts of beef and chicken to various yupscale fish and pasta plates.
GAYOT's Annual Restaurant Awards honor America's best chefs, as well as promising newcomers and a top restaurateur.

Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset Review
Once again, Creative changed my perspective on a few things. Apparently, my hatred for headphone gaming is starting to wane. The CMSS-3D technology lives up to the Creative standard and exceeds even my expectations and I was trying to set them pretty high.
So if it was up to me, I think next time I'll reach for the headset and skip the beating. For $49 the headphones are a steal. I spent $80 on my Sennheisers (a year ago, the price may be comparable now) and the Fatal1ty headset seems to have blown them out of the water. I am a huge fan of Sennheisers, so this was a hard review for me to write. Like watching your boyhood hero being mowed down in a hail of gunfire. A little part of me died today, but there is a new hero in town.
If you're in the market for some new headphones, don't skip over the Fatal1ty headset. I would personally recommend this product to anyone.
- Noise Cancellation for Team Speak and Skype
- 3D Effects When Combined With the Fatal1ty Sound Card Were Amazing
- Gaming Experience
- No Sound Crackle Throughout Each of the Tests
- Price
- The Headphone Cushioning Was a Little Stiff to Start With. Possibly After Some Use it May Break in a Little Better.

Conversation with Mark Morris and Nacho Duato
Moderated by Septime Webre, Artistic Director of the Washington Ballet
by Carmel Morgan
October 20, 2008 -- The Washington Ballet Studios, Washington, DC
On October 20, 2008, the Washington Ballet invited some its patrons to an intimate, in-studio conversation with two of the most exciting choreographers of today – Mark Morris and Nacho Duato. Both Morris and Duato were in Washington, DC to coach the Washington Ballet's dancers in upcoming works – Morris's "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" and Duato's "Cor Perdut." They graciously agreed to sit and answer some questions about their choreography, and they were fascinating guests.
Morris explained that "Drink" was originally choreographed for the American Ballet Theatre. Mikhail Baryshnikov requested a piece that he could be in. The dance began with four movements and eventually grew to involve six couples. Morris, with a fabulous smile, said that "Drink" was part of his "ancient style." He noted that now his dances are less complicated than they used to be.
Morris told the enrapt audience that he always works from music and always uses live music. Baroque music and vocal music were early draws. Singers are like dancers, said Morris, in that they are both all they've got and their art is alive. His musical tastes have changed somewhat over time, in that now he likes more types of music. Yet he mentioned that he never likes anything current. Working with Paul Simon on the Broadway musical "The Capeman" is among his most thrilling moments, even though the musical flopped.
In reflecting on the "ghastly" TV shows that feature dance lately, Morris said that he is all for them if they bring attention to dance. The arts need nourishment. He commented about how expensive it is to run a dance company, and how little there is in terms of government funding.
Morris admitted that he relishes control. He discussed his recent foray into conducting. In February 2008, in a DC area performance, Morris conducted the Mark Morris Dance Group Music Ensemble in a performance of Henry Purcell's 1689 opera "Dido and Aeneas." It was hard, according to Morris. You have to face the other direction, and you must also stay in advance of the musicians. He described the experience as being like speeding on the Autobahn in the dark, in the rain, in a rental car, without reading any German. Indeed, Morris said he learned a "tempo lesson," as apparently his dancers complained that the music was too fast.
Nacho Duato, who has been Artistic Director of the Compañía Nacional de Danza since June 1990, spoke after Morris. Duato studied dance at the Rambert School in London, at Maurice Béjart's Mudra School in Brussels, and at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Centre in New York. Jirí Kylián brought him to the Nederlands Dans Theater in Holland, where Duato eventually became Resident Choreographer. Duato counts Kylián as his biggest inspiration, his "artistic father." With great admiration, Duato mentioned that he did not think the cord has been broken completely between Kylián and himself.
Duato's "Cor Perdut," a pas de deux which is being set on dancers from the Washington Ballet, was choreographed as a birthday present for a singer with whom Duato had been working. He did the choreography in two or three evenings after work, in about six hours, and he performed the male role himself. Duato didn't anticipate performing the work more than once, but it was hugely successful. It is a duet about love and leaving, and the title means "Lost at Heart" in Catalan.
Like Morris, Duato confessed that music is his first source of inspiration. Duato has a particular love of folk music, which he considers closely connected to dance since both folk music and dance are made to gather and share something important. Also like Morris, Duato said that he doesn't think in "steps." Instead, he thinks in terms of expression. He explained that he sees dance as a means of reaching something higher than ourselves.
According to Duato, his choreography, like Morris's, has changed over time. Now, Duato said, he has become more introspective. He no longer shouts "look at me," as he did when he was younger. Also, like Morris, Duato said that presently "more is less" and that his choreography currently contains fewer steps.
Duato commented about the difference in arts funding in the United States and Europe. He said he feels that in the US, the pressure of having to fill the house in order to break even influences choreographic choices. For example, most US ballet companies perform "The Nutcracker" every year. In Spain, the public support for dance allows him greater freedom to do what he feels.

I already talked about it in a previous post but coffee and tea are not in the same boat regading caffeine.
Here are two charts comparing average caffeine levels for various brews.
There are two main differences between tea and coffee regarding caffeine :
- Quantity of caffeine is more important in coffee
- Absorbtion is different, caffeine in coffee is totally bioavailable and thus will be quicker in the blood stream

So my cousin's mom, also my cousin messaged me months ago informing me that my fiance, stepfather and grandfather were not invited to her daughters wedding wedding and only me, my mom and grandma were invited from our part of the family. We got facebook invites the other day and my mom said she was told we weren't invited. My aunt, whos the grandmother of the cousin whos getting married, messaged my mom and said the girls were invited but not the guys for "money reasons blah blah blah". My mom asked if this was only us and asked specifically if a few cousins were allowed to bring their BOYFRIENDS. My aunt wouldn't answer her(which tells me they are allowed) and told her she wasn't getting into a pissing contest(whatever that means) and that there were reasons we didn't understand. My mom said fine, none of us will be attending. My aunt than said that she thought the guys wouldn't care and she hates to see family broken. I'm upset that we're not going and would love to go but NO WAY am i going without my fiance. I would be missing him all night and would probably get asked by other relatives where he is and would probably give them a bitchy response. Plus don't usually couples go to weddings. What, I'm suppose to dance with my mom?? Its bull that my cousins are allowed to bring there boyfriends and I can't bring my fiance and more importantly that my grandfather who is there BLOOD isn't invited.
