DOUGLASS, TX (KTRE) - The small community of Douglass is mourning the loss of their town hub, the Douglass Country Store and Cafe.
Douglass residents call it a true local landmark and now the building with more than 100 years of memories is no more.
Jan Boyer works as the manager for the store and cafe. She says she is from New Orleans and moved to Douglass after hurricane Katrina and the town adopted her.
"For our local community it's more than just a restaurant," said Boyer. "It's where they solve the world's problems. Where they meet to gossip. They help each other with their ranching issues. It's more than just where they come. And to the employees it's more than just a job. It's our home. More than our own home is most of the times. We're here more often than we are at our own home."
Bill Cummings and his wife bought the restaurant from his wife's family just one month ago but the building has been in the family for generations. Cummings says the building was built in the early 1900s and has served as a gas station and expanded into a store and a restaurant.
"We had fish fries on Friday nights," said Cummings. "We made the best hamburgers in East Texas."
Cummings says around 3:00 PM Saturday afternoon the kitchen caught fire while two employees were working. Cummings says he believes the fire started when an electrical socket shorted out near the grill and caught fire.
The fire spread quickly because there was hot grease near the grill. The Douglass Volunteer Fire Department is just across TX-21 so they were able to get to the scene quickly and witnesses say it took about an hour to get the blaze under control.
"There was an employee right there close when it happened," said Cummings. "The wall just kind of exploded. I ran out to turn the gas meter off. I surely didn't want no gas escaping so I did that first thing by the time I got in there in 2 or 3 minutes it was done."
Fortunately nobody was injured in the fire.
All that's left of the Douglass Corner Store and Cafe is piles of rubble and ash. Volunteers, family, friends and community members are all chipping in to help clean up the mess.
"The whole community, people who are not fire fighters, it didn't matter," said Boyer. "People who just eat here, they were all helping one another. It was a joy and a heart ache all at the same time.
Cummings says they have served their last hamburger for a while but they are not going to give up hope.
The entire building was completely destroyed. Cummings says he is unsure at this point of whether or not he and his wife will rebuild.

The commercial construction websites featured on this list share some really important design elements and features. Each website has a gallery of completed projects. Some of the sites highlight project details with case studies. Most importantly, they are all well designed.
Some of the features that make this site stand out.
The features that make this website stand out:
The site could benefit by spreading out the content and adding more "white space" between elements. This would not only enhance legibility, but the large amount of information would automatically feel less daunting.
This is accomplished with these details:
Although the site is nice overall, it's legibility could be improved by enlarging the overall site and fonts by 15 to 25 percent.
The one thing I would change is the font size. The grey text on the wood textured background is hard to read on some of the pages. If the font size was increased by 10% the legibility is improved dramatically. LG Development Group's site could also benefit from the use of case studies in the completed work gallery.
All great commercial construction websites should include a way to show off past projects, case studies for featured projects, and definitley great design. Does your website have what it takes to be one of the great commercial construction sites?

Reviews & endorsements
"...a laudable effort and a good addition to anyone's collection...brings together a wide array of perspectives from ecology, management, and policy..."
EcologySee more reviews
"[A]n excellent overview of introduced plants.... Written in a clear, accessible style, it should appeal to a wide range of readers. Highly recommended."
"To those of you who teach the subject of biological invasions, I say do not hesitate to recommend it as an introductory text to your students. And to those who deal with the problem otherwise, I say find time to read it -- it will pay back the effort."
EcoScience, Petr Pysek
"This book is therefore a "must-have" for entomologists interested in ecological relations between phytophagous insects and invasive plants and manipulation of these relations through biological control of weeds. Professional entomologists working in biological control of weeds will find that the literature cited in this book and emphasis on basic ecological relationships, along with current issues such as nontarget effects, offer refreshing ways to think about use of phytophagous insects for control of invasive plants. The lower price of the paperback version makes it easy to purchase. This book is amply illustrated, most frequently using graphs to support the many examples of relationships described in the text."

I'm sitting in my storage space on a rainy San Francisco afternoon going through my 2004 resupply boxes that never got sent and my send-back boxes from the trail.
I'm breaking apart the boxes to inventory what I've got, throw out what I can't use or what's gone bad and give away what I won't eat. In a half-circle around me are paper shopping bags, left to right: breakfast, lunch, dinner, jerkey & other yummy snacks, nuts & fruit, other (tuna, mustard, dressing, etc.) and bars.
I pull out the fuel, maps, mailing labels, box reminders, vitamin packets, batteries, and other stuff and make other piles.
Something that's in my boxes and then in ziplocs has liquified. It's really gross and looks like soy sauce. [Matt, Sandy and I later decided it was shallots.]
Also in the boxes are notes that Tommy put in them while helping me pack them in June of 2004. Usually there's a drawing with the note, and usually it's lewd. Why he thought this thru-hiker needed a reminder of how horny I am when I hike, I don't know. Today, the attention and love bring a smile to my face.
It's now an hour later. Rush hour is crowding the Bay Bridge, so I'm here for a while. All the boxes are empty and sorted. I can't believe I'm going to eat some of this stuff. I have too much food given what's good from 2004 and what I've already bought. I will never want to eat Fish Brothers Salmon jerkey again, although I love it.
Digging through all the stuff: maps, food, gear, clothes, oh yeah, and all the stuff of my life in boxes and stacked.

Benzema brands Man Utd target Mbappe a 'phenomenon' but warns against transfer
Karim Benzema admits Kylian Mbappe is a "phenomenon", but feels he must be wary of moving too soon amid talk of interest from Manchester United.
The Real Madrid striker knows what the 18-year-old Monaco forward is going through having generated similar interest in his younger years.
After bursting onto the scene at Lyon, Benzema was quickly targeted by Europe's leading clubs.
A big-money transfer took him to Spain, but he admits that he got "a slap in the face" upon arriving in the big time.
He has now urged Mbappe to ensure that any future call is the right one for him and his future, with speculation regarding record-breaking bids from United and interest from Madrid likely to intensify as his profile rises on the back of inspired performances for club and country.
Benzema told RMC: "I've been told he is a phenomenon, a very good player.
"Honestly, I still haven't seen him. He's a young player.
"Football is really hard, especially at big clubs. I arrived at Madrid at 21. I had already done a lot of things at Lyon, but when I got here I got a slap in the face.
"My first year was too difficult. You're far from your family, it's not the same. Those who are next to you are there to take your place. It's very difficult.
"But from what people have said, he's a very good player, and I hope he'll have a great career, little by little.
NxGn: Football's 50 best talents
"I think you mustn't leave too soon. Things go well, but the day when it goes less well, that's the problem.
"He's 18, how do you handle it when it doesn't go as well, when people don't speak as well about you, when you're put under pressure?"
Mbappe, who finds himself in the latest France senior squad, has netted 17 times in 29 appearances for Monaco this season.

Fine Gael-Fianna Fail merger firmly rejected by local TDs
Recent rumours suggesting a coalition between Fine Gael and Fianna Fail after the next general election appear dead in the water, writes Liam Cosgrove.
A combination of wavering support for junior coalition partners Labour and rising popularity behind Sinn Fein had fuelled talk of a possible merger between both parties.
It's a view which doesn't appear to sit well with either Fine Gael's James Bannon and his opposite number Robert Troy however.
Both constituency TDs said, despite what political commentators may or may not be speculating, such a scenario is not one the pair appear keen to contemplate.
"That's for the people to decide at the next (general) election," said Mr Bannon earlier this week.
The Legan based politician said even with Sinn Fein's rise in popularity, entering into partnership with Gerry Adams and company is not something he believes will ever materialise.
"I don't think that will happen. I would be more inclined to say people will go for a Fine Gael led government with Labour. We (government) have a proven track record over the past three years."
His prediction that Labour will stage a recovery of sorts is backed up by a recent Behaviour and Attitudes poll.
That showed party support had effectively doubled since the May local elections, during which the party was almost wiped out.
But for those sitting in the opposition benches, the prospect of voters remaining loyal to the present government remains highly questionable.
"Polls are one thing, elections are another," said Fianna Fail's Robert Troy, as he also queried the merits behind a possible Fianna Fail-Fine Gael merger in a year and a half's time.
"When you see the right wing policies that are being pursued by Fine Gael and the huge impact that is having on the rural Ireland, you're asking me would I go into government with them?
"No thankyou."

This blog-site tends to cover mistakes that businesses make in dealing with their consumers - so the blogs I post here are usually aimed at dumb practices by bricks-and-mortar or clicks-and-mortar businesses. This blog is a bit different, but A&E is a business, and it has consumers, and in the past few days it has created a foot-in-mouth firestorm that is going to cost A&E millions of dollars of business and revenue - they will also alienate a lot of customers, and in doing so suffer a permanent loss of business.
First, a disclaimer. From 1973 until his death earlier this year, my oldest and closest friend was Gay, and while he didn't advertise this, he made no secret of it. He was also a member of a Christian Church, and prayed that God's infinite grace would save him. It's impossible for an honest man to have a Gay man who was, for 40 years, my very closest friend, my frequent business partner and my co-worker and also harbor ill-will toward Gays. I hold no such animosity.
But, like hundreds of millions of other Americans, I also believe in the bible - and I have a good idea of what the bible says about sin in general, and that one particular sin (among all the particular sins). Finally, I know that all people (including me) sin. So anything you read here that you "think" is anti-Gay is either your mistaken impression or, more likely, my own poor choice of words.
Now, another (the last) disclaimer. I have never watched Duck Dynasty - from what I've seen, I don't much care for reality TV, but beyond that, I'm not a hunter. By choice, I don't tend to watch shows about hunting. I prefer target shooting. I'm not anti-hunter, either - my son's a bow-hunter, and I'm proud of his skill - but hunting is just not my "thing."
However, I am passionate about the First Amendment (I make my living as a writer and communicator). In one sense, I do not see this as a First Amendment issue - a private company can fire or hire whom they please, and only government censorship is prevented by the First Amendment.
The idea that a man should be punished, publicly and financially, for expressing his own deeply-held religious beliefs, that is anathema in a country protected by the First Amendment's "free exercise" of religion clause. In addition, that this man was punished for sharing his mainstream Christian beliefs that are spelled out repeatedly in the bible - in a country with a nominal majority of Christians - well, that says something deeply serious about the culture war against those persons of faith in America. That's my other disclaimer, or caveat.
On with the show (so to speak). Those two disclaimers aside, and more to the point, since 1975, I have routinely been called in by clients and employers to resolve self-generated crises, and this is a great example of just such a self-inflicted business and PR disaster. A&E was pressured to take action when one of its stars honestly spoke of his honest religious beliefs - which is odd since he was hired because of those beliefs and because of the way he expresses them. A&E, in promoting Duck Dynasty, called this employee a "bible-thumper" in their show promotion.
But they were pressured by well-organized advocates who speak for a minority of Americans, as is their right. They have the same First Amendment freedoms as does Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty, to say what they believe in the public marketplace of ideas. However, unlike Phil Robertson, who asked for no censure or punishment for those who violate God's laws, leaving that up to God Himself, GLAAD insisted that any public figure who disagrees with them must be punished - including being deprived of their income.
The irony here is rich. By asserting the right to demand that others be punished for disagreeing with them, GLAAD, by necessity, must grant the right for others to demand that GLAAD and its constituents by punished for speaking out their own views. Either that or they're saying that only one set of views (GLAAD's) is legitimate of public protection, and that view can be found nowhere in the Constitution or in statutory law.
A&E, which is in business to make money, not to advocate for fairness or constitutional principles, felt the pressure from GLAAD, and decided to act. However, they didn't have to boot Robertson off his own show - they could have just decried his position and moved on. But they did choose to punish Robertson, and now, millions of their viewers will make sure that A&E pays the consequences for their one-sided and anti-religious stance.
The Problem
A&E essentially fired key program cast member Phil Robertson for something he said. Worse, they didn't fire him for anything he said on the show, but for something he said to a reporter from GQ, a magazine interviewing him. Further, they fired him for speaking out about a topic that had nothing to do with the show. What Robertson said was a bit crass, but I take it that "crass" is part of his style, part of what makes the show a financial and ratings success for A&E.
I have read the comments, which offer his perspective on what the bible says about all the varieties of sex a person can have that is outside of marriage. Basically, the bible says that any extra-marital sex is bad, and lists a number of examples, from infidelity to bestiality to homosexuality to male prostitution.
Here's the rub. A&E has promoted Robertson and his show for their bible-thumping religiously-conservative and very outspoken views. They attracted 11.8 million fanatic followers to the premiere episode of their current 4th season - a landmark viewer record for any cable program - and for A&E, that's a gold mine. According to some sources, episodes of Duck Dynasty have been all five of the top-five A&E shows of all time.
In creating and promoting the show, A&E executives have all but egged Robertson on to become an outspoken redneck "character," and to do that for all for the almighty dollar. Now, when Robertson does nothing more than express his belief in the bible - which very definitely speaks out against all manner of out-of-wedlock sex, including infidelity, bestiality, homosexuality, the temptations of lewd women (the book of Proverbs is filled with that) and male prostitution. In this, he was acting in character as a bible-believing saved-by-Christ "bible thumper," exactly the character A&E bought and paid for - exactly the character who helped create the most profitable program in A&E history.
Had any member of the A&E leadership team bothered to check their cash cow, they'd have known that:
a. He believes what the bible says; and
b. The bible says that homosexuality is a forbidden sin
If anyone should have been punished (and nobody should) it should be the A&E executive who didn't bother to read his bible before unleashing the Robertson clan on America. Phil was just doing what he's always done - and what A&E had been paying him handsomely for. He was telling the truth as he saw it, citing the bible as his source of truth.
Apparently, speaking the truth about belief and about what's in the bible has become - if not against the law - then punishable here in the United States, which was once a bastion of religious freedom.
The Solution
Predictably, the Gay defense groups such as GLAAD immediately denounced Robertson for exercising his First Amendment rights of free practice of religion and free speech. In their eyes, free speech of course applies to anyone who will speak out in favor of homosexuality - as it should, because advocating for rights and respect for homosexuals is absolutely protected speech. However, in their eyes, that freedom only works one way. You're free to support them, but if you oppose what they stand for, you should be pilloried, fired, banished, castigated and mocked in public. That's their position, and they're entitled to it, but it does tend to make them look like hypocrites, and does make it harder for non-members to support their extreme and one-sided position.
GLAAD also showed themselves to be clueless about Christianity. GLAAD's spokesman Wilson Cruz told the public that "Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe."
"What true Christians believe?"
If GLADD's spokesmen and leaders had just read the bible, they'd know that Phil Robertson didn't lie about what the bible says. The bible takes a harsh view on any kind of sexual activity outside the man-woman marriage bed, including homosexuality - but the bible doesn't single that out as an especially damnable sin. The bible - and bible-believing Christians - take it as an article of faith that all sexual activity outside the marriage bed shared by a husband and wife is on God's sin list.
This isn't "hate" - as far as the bible goes, it's "fact."
From a purely PR point of view, GLAAD could have decried Phil's views without trying to "out-Christian" a man known primarily for his Christian beliefs. It's just foolish to appear both more knowledgeable about a belief than it's believer, and to also appear so ignorant in public, especially when there are other options.
But that was GLAAD. Their default message for those it opposes is a commercial "off with his head." No surprises there. But what about A&E?
A&E, which had many options, decided that it's solution was to suspend Robertson indefinitely. They had other options. Take a look at their public statement:
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," A&E said in a statement. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community ... "
If A&E had stopped there, they would have expressed their displeasure at Robertson's statement - and his beliefs - and distanced the network from its largest-ever and most profitable star. End of story.
Except ... they added one more sentence. They took a reasonable statement and pushed it into the realm of trying to destroy someone financially for the sin of sharing his heart-felt religious beliefs, beliefs backed by the bible (the best-selling and most-read book in history). A&E added: "The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely," and immediately all hell broke loose.
Already, the Robertson family has rallied around Phil. They have said publicly: "While some of Phil's unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart' and 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Phil would never incite or encourage hate."
There's real iron here - is A&E's suspension of Robertson is a kind of hollow suspension. It doesn't include next season's shows (which include Robertson in all of them) because they have already been filmed, and to throw them away to enforce the suspension would cost A&E money. The suspension, if it actually happens, will apply to next season (2015), but only if the show's renewed, and only if anybody still remembers this kerfuffle in 12 or 13 months.
To me, this is a lose-lose situation, and for a couple of reasons.
First, this action has already begun to polarize Duck Dynasty viewers who share a strong Christian faith with its star - and it's a fair bet that few of GLAAD's members are avid Duck Dynasty viewers. Beginning now, A&E is losing business, and it will only continue as the controversy roars on.
Second, this is a "lose" for GLAAD because it exposes the group's intolerance to a wider public than ever before - and as Christians begin to see GLAAD as an oppressor actively stifling public expressions of faith and belief, they will see a backlash from those who neither want to victimize Gays nor to be victimized by Gays.
Finally he big losers are A&E's shareholders, most of whom (statistically) are more likely to be at least nominal Christians than they are to be Gay, or passionate supporters of Gay advocate groups. Were I a stockholder, I'd already be asking the executives why they'd taken actions sure to "tank" the value of the stock. Wall Street doesn't give a tinker's dam about "causes." They care about profits, and when they see A&E losing viewers, stock prices will inevitably fall.
I would not want to be an A&E shareholder today, nor would I want to be an A&E executive. Stocks will fall and heads will roll.
But this should also concern any foresighted GLAAD leader, because as networks see the financial cost of supporting a single-issue advocacy group that has nothing to do with their (the network's) business, those networks will re-think blindly caving to GLAAD in the future.
In the long run, the big loser is A&E - a bigger loser will be GLAAD (once for-profit businesses see the dollar-and-sense cost of blindly caving to their high-pressure demands).
But the big winner may be bible-believing Christians, who come to realize that their beliefs are under attack, but that they are also not alone.

Niagen® (nicotinamide riboside chloride) is an efficient precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and has been shown to boost NAD+ levels.* NAD+, a metabolite of vitamin B3 (niacin), is essential to mitochondrial function and enables cells to convert both glucose and fatty acids to energy.* NAD+ is involved in sustaining energy, neural health and healthy aging.*
NAD+ is a critically important cellular cofactor that is required for fuel utilization and function of every cell in the human body. When fuel is oxidized, NAD+ is converted to NADH for cellular energy production.
Levels of NAD+ within cells decline precipitously with aging as well as with high caloric intake, which are both associated with compromised metabolic function and many degenerations. Increasing cellular NAD+ such as by caloric restriction, fasting, and exercise, promotes healthy mitochondrial function and energy expenditure.*
"NAD+ is an essential enzyme co-factor that substantially mediates energy metabolism and other cellular functions,"* says Anthony Thomas Ph.D., Jarrow Formulas Technical Support/Scientific Affairs. "Increased energy consumption/reduced energy expenditure, aging, and many pathological conditions result in reduced cellular NAD+ availability, which negatively impact cellular functions (e.g., energy metabolism, protective response to stress, DNA damage repair)."*

I remember the exact day I realized it. That just because something is written in a book doesn't automatically mean it's true.
Up until then, as I studied books for homework, looked up information in reference books for papers, and did research in libraries, I thought that if a book said it, it had to be a fact. Somebody had to check these things out, right? Some committee somewhere had to have approved these books for classes, right? And I don't recall anyone telling me anything different.
Then one day, I started a new social studies class. As the teacher read things out of the textbook about why we behave the way we do, I started to feel really uncomfortable. What I heard just didn't sound right. It didn't feel right. Why? Because the Bible had already taught me to see really important, true things about me and my friends that the new textbook ignored.
That night, when I had to study a few chapters in that book for homework, I had the same feeling. I just knew the information in the book was wrong! I knew it. Because of my own life - because of facts I'd seen and proved about how God has made us and governs us.
Ever since that day, I've realized that it's important not to just take what books - or even people - say at face value. We have the right to find out for ourselves what's true. Prove it in our own lives.
A lot of people argue about whether the Bible is true. Some people say it's just a collection of stories people made up. Others point out that it has so many contradictions that it can't all be true.
But another book had helped me understand the overall message of the Bible. To see that it does make sense when you read it in the right way. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, also explains how you can prove the ideas in the Bible to be true in your own life. And make your life (and the lives of others) better!
For example, the book of Isaiah in the Bible says, "Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn" (51:1). Huh? Are we cut out of a rock? Why should we look to that?
But Science and Health explains: "Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and immortality. Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts" (Pg. 261). Many people have followed that instruction and proved it practical. I've applied it many times myself.
For example, when I was growing up, I had a big dark birthmark on my leg. Sometimes kids said things about it, or asked questions about it - which was embarrassing. Looking at it and thinking of myself as made up of physical parts, some of them ugly or abnormal, didn't help at all.
But as I learned how to relate the truth of the Bible to this situation, I stopped looking at the birthmark to find out what was true about me. Instead I looked "unto the rock whence" we are all "hewn." That is, I looked "away from the body into Truth and Love," which are synonyms for God.
Another name for God is Spirit. Science and Health really explains the Bible's message that everyone truly is made like God, spiritual and perfect. I saw that none of us, the children of God - created by the perfect, loving, all-powerful Spirit that made everything and made it good - can have ugly parts or bad spots.
And you know what? At some point I realized that the birthmark was gone.
Don't just believe everything you see or hear or read. Make sure it's good, that is, from God. Keep looking to Truth and you'll prove that only good is true!
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because
many false prophets are
gone out into the world....
Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them:
because greater is he
that is in you, than he that
is in the world.
I John 4:1, 4

How in the f*ck do you think God can be God of all the infinite universes in existence if he doesnt have a starship? What do you expect him to fly coach in Delta like a normal person? Thats insanity! God needs a starship to get back and forth between his destinations because flying on commercial planes is just too much of a hassle. I mean do you know how much God gets stopped by the TSA? White guy with a beard and a history in the Middle East.... Yeah, hes getting 'randomly selected' for additional screening.
If he is so great and powerful, what does he need with a man made structure. If he needed one, cant he just create one, or would that defy the law of conservation. I think that god is not worthy to own a star ship in any way

Lewy body disease, also known as dementia with Lewy bodies, is one of the most common causes of dementia, according to the National Institutes of Health. It occurs when abnormal structures called Lewy bodies accumulate in the brain.
Individuals affected by Lewy body disease may experience hallucinations, movement difficulties, muscle stiffness and cognitive problems, such as confusion, memory loss and changes in alertness and attention, states the National Institutes of Health. Lewy body disease usually strikes individuals between the ages of 50 and 85. It worsens over time, and scientists have yet to find a cure; however, there are medications that help alleviate the symptoms.

In today's blog post we'll explore the topic of mortgage refinancing, including when you should consider refinancing and how to take advantage of low interest rates.
What is Mortgage Refinancing?
Depending on your financial goals, you may refinance to tap into some of the equity you've built up in your home, or you may refinance in order to secure a new mortgage with a lower interest rate or better payment terms. Whatever the case, know that if you decide to refinance you'll be engaging with a lender for a brand new mortgage.
When Should I Consider Refinancing My Mortgage?
When you should refinance depends on your reason for refinancing. If you're looking to reduce your interest rate and your monthly payments, you should refinance your mortgage whenever interest rates drop enough that you will be able to save more in monthly payments then you will be paying in closing costs and fees.
How to Take Advantage of Low Interest Rates…
Consulting with a mortgage professional is the best way to understand how much money you can save. Refinancing your mortgage is a major financial decision and not one that should be taken lightly. Careful research is needed to determine if now is best time to switch up your mortgage to one with a lower interest rate.
Helping you with your dream home one mortgage at a time.

text: This thread is about the time limitations at Wrestlemania 33 due to which several matches weren't what they could be. For example: Raw's Women Championship- 12:13 Smackdown's Women Championship- 5:33 InterContinental Championship- 10:54 WWE Championship- 10:21 I think that these 4 matches particularly suffered due to the time they got. What's mind-boggling is that WWE Championship was of less time than either InterContinental Championship or Raw's Women Championship. Most notably, Raw's Women Championship should've got atleast 5 minutes more as it wasn't a regular match but a fatal four way match. The women stole the show at last year's Wrestlemania and I think that they could again if given some ample time. Other matches were of fine length with Rollins Vs. Triple H a bit long.

Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji have come to help Naruto. Shikamaru uses his shadow possession technique on the brothers, so that Naruto can escape and catch up with Iruka. Now that Naruto is out of this battle, you could say that we were hoping for anything better then what we got in the previous episodes. Was it better? I'd say so. First off, just to see some new faces is always a good thing and any squad besides Naruto's is always great to see. At first Shikamaru seemed to think that his squad would make quick work out of the brothers, but he soon realized that they're incredibly strong, so strong in fact that they're able to outmuscle their way out of Shikamaru's shadow possession.
This should have seemed impressive, but probably because of my personal annoyance with these guys, it was hard to be too excited that they broke out of a Shadow possession. Even after breaking out, they still just stood there. Then again, the squad really didn't let up - Whether it was Shikamaru using a shadow possession technique, Ino using the mind transfer, or Choji using his expansion jutsu, the brothers' really didn't get any chance to go on offense, which made the fight seem lopsided. Most of the time I would complain about something like this, but the quicker these brothers are defeated the better. We can only hope that Shikamaru's squad will end this fight next episode.
The Mizuki/Iruka battle continues. Mizuki leads Iruka into a building, where he hides and attacks from a distance. The action here was like that the whole episode, with Mizuki attacking from the shadows and Iruka trying to defend the best he can. The flashbacks were cool, showing just how evil Mizuki was. Mizuki's tenacity for completing a mission seemed to cloud his judgment and morality. When he and his squad are out on a mission, one of the members becomes injured, and while it was nothing but a small leg injury, Mizuki deemed him useless and suffocated him. We can accept the fact that Mizuki is evil, but it seems unclear just what actually drove him to be such an angry person. (Maybe a bad childhood? Who knows). When Mizuki, along with Iruka, take the teachers qualifying exam, Iruka passes. Mizuki on the other hand does not. Even though he's the more talented one between the two, the council members (including the third Hokage) are unsure about him, most noticeable from the previous mission where his teammate was found suffocated after only suffering a minor wound, meaning that it was most likely someone he knew who killed him. This flashback just shows the jealousy that Mizuki has for Iruka and Naruto. He thinks everything he did was right and feels he never got the respect from the village that he deserves.
This back-story is kind of interesting, just in the fact it adds layers to Mizuki's character and it's always nice to have a back-story no matter how minor the character might be. The one thing this episode seemed to fix from the last was the comedy from the brothers. There doesn't seem to be a lot of it anymore, which is good, because it just wasn't working. The switching between the two stories wasn't as annoying, but there were still times where they would switch right in the middle of something happening, which is a bit distracting. At this point in the story, I don't think we are expecting things to get much better, but we can always hope right? In the meantime just bear with me and we'll get through this mini arc together.

BikeSmart Reading ended on 31st July, (we still awarded points until Thursday 31st August). Thanks to those of you who participated by trading car journeys for cycling and generally increased their cycling over the course of the programme.
Some of the highlights...
Since 1st March - 616 people were tracking their cycling and earning rewards.
They cycled 331,762 miles, that's a staggering 13 times round the planet! (This equates to saving a whopping 9 tonnes of CO2 emissions.)
During the course of the programme we gave away many prizes and incentives to encourage cycling in Reading. Well done to those that also took part in the Reading Cycle Challenge in June.
We also delivered over 60 cycle skills workshops across the town in many locations with Avanti cycling.
We launched a weekly cycle session for the charity Sport in Mind.
65% of you said BikeSmart encouraged you to change your travel behaviour.
and finally...
We won the Business Environment Pride of Reading Award click here to read the full story.
And a Healthy Streets award for encouraging cycling over car journeys.
Comments from users...
'I dropped a stone in weight and feel much fitter. I used to occasionally cycle to work and at weekends, but BetterPoints provided encouragement to make the bike my primary means of transport for commuting.' - Andy
'I'm more confident cycling around Reading, so more likely to do short journeys on my bike rather than drive.' - Angela
'I attended the skills session in May and then bought a 2nd hand bike. Best thing ever! Although I have been cycling about 3 times a week (on average 16 miles a week), I didn't have a smart phone until the end of July. Since then, I have been able to use the BetterPoints app, which has been really easy. Thank you for getting me back on a bike after 20 years! ' - Wendy
'I love watching my points stack up and it pushes me to cycle.' - Sammy
'Excellent programme, encourages me to cycle to work, even in bad weather.' - Sergio
Evaluating the programme
At the outset we had key performance indicators and we monitored the progress against these regularly to measure the success of the programme and learn from feedback and findings.
435 users completed our end of programme survey, we asked a series of questions to evaluate the success and gain feedback. Here are some of the highlights from the survey:
Since you joined Bikesmart how many of your car journeys have you replaced with a bike journey each week?
Has BikeSmart encouraged you to change your travel behaviour?
Did you enjoy using the BetterPoints app?
So now BikeSmart has ended what happens next?
You can still earn rewards with BetterPoints for walking, running and cycling via our UK Rewards programme see here for more details.
You can spend your points either by rewarding yourself or donating some or all of them to charity. See this recent article for more information. Or if you want to still accrue points that's fine, they won't disappear, we will write to you in the future to remind you to spend or donate them.
If you have any questions about BetterPoints please see our frequently asked questions here or contact us via the 'help' function within the app.
Thanks for participating in BikeSmart Reading we hope you've enjoyed earning enhanced rewards for cycling.
We do hope to bring more reward schemes to Reading in future.
Happy future cycling,
The BikeSmart Reading Team

When: Friday, Feb. 21, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Where: Eastfield College, 3737 Motley Drive, Mesquite, Science Building, Rooms 100 and 101
Cost: $49. Register on the Carbon Economy Series website.
Homeowners are learning how to conserve a precious Texas resource – water – in many ways, sharing cost-saving information with family members and friends. But what happens on a larger scale when property managers need to monitor and control water use and costs?
This half-day workshop will answer questions and provide ideas about that subject. The program, presented by the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Dallas, is part of the Dallas County Community College District's spring 2014 Clean Economy Series, which focuses on building a more sustainable future for Dallas.
Patrick Dickinson, program coordinator for Texas A&M AgriLife in Dallas, is the featured speaker. He earned his bachelor's degree in horticulture from Tarleton State University and is an ISA-certified arborist who has extensive experience in the Texas horticulture industry.
Dickinson also is part of the center's Urban Water Program, which focuses on water conservation and storm water issues by delivering professional training, public education programs (such as DCCCD's CES workshop) and demonstrations. He addresses professionals and members of the general public so that he can offer them the most sustainable information about landscape water use, from design and plant selection to water-conserving landscape management practices.
The workshop will provide property managers with information about techniques they can implement for indoor water conservation; drip irrigation; new water conservation technologies; "cycle and soak"; lawn care during drought or water restrictions; proper plant selections; foundation watering; tree watering; and irrigation scheduling.
This program is designed for apartment managers, large-facility managers, commercial property managers, landscaping companies and others whose responsibilities include water use and conservation, which also helps control costs.

Trimbach Pinot Blanc 2008
Winemaker Notes
Delicious with light meals such as salads, poultry, chicken, veal, roast pork, and seafood. The Pinot Blanc has beautiful fruitiness and makes an excellent all-occasion drinking wine.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Jean-Frédéric Trimbach, born in 1811, was appointed Gourmet of Hunawihr, a position designed to protect the quality of wine exports. He transferred the Maison Trimbach business to Hunawihr, where he served as mayor for many years.
Jean-Frédéric and his son, Frédéric-Emile continued the family tradition, and Frédéric-Emile traveled extensively to promote the wines. In 1898 he received the Certificate of Highest Quality at the Brussels International Show. With Frédéric-Emile at the helm, Maison Trimbach began bottling its wines in Alsace rather than selling in bulk, providing a new guarantee of quality and authenticity. The contribution of Frédéric-Emile Trimbach was recognized when the family adopted his initials in the firm's official name: Maison F.E. Trimbach.
Today, the tradition of quality continues with the 11th and 12th generations of the Trimbach family. Hubert and his older brother Bernard, along with Bernard's sons, Pierre and Jean, have continued operations and currently produce approximately 80,000 cases of wines annually. Over one-third of their production is exported to the United States. While one of the smallest of the many producers in Alsace, they are nonetheless the largest, most widely recognized Alsace brand in the United States.
With its fairytale aesthetic, Germanic influence and strong emphasis on white wines, Alsace is one of France's most unique viticultural regions. This hotly contested stretch of land running north to south on France's northeastern border has spent much of its existence as German territory. Nestled in the rain shadow of the Vosges mountains, it is one of the driest regions of France but enjoys a long and cool growing season. Autumn humidity facilitates the development of "noble rot" for the production of late-picked sweet wines, Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles.
The best wines of Alsace can be described as aromatic and honeyed, even when completely dry. The region's "noble" varieties, the only ones permitted within Alsace's 51 Grands Crus vineyards, are Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Pinot Gris.
Riesling is Alsace's main specialty. In its youth, Alsatian Riesling is dry, fresh and floral, but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Gewurztraminer is known for its signature spice and lychee aromatics, and is often utilized for late harvest wines. Pinot Gris is prized for its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavors. Muscat, vinified dry, tastes of ripe green grapes and fresh rose petal.
Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Chasselas, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir—the only red grape permitted in Alsace and mainly used for sparkling rosé known as Crémant d'Alsace. Most Alsatian wines are single-varietal bottlings and unlike other French regions, are also labeled with the variety name.
Lightly aromatic, pleasantly soft, and always approachable, Pinot Blanc is best known in Alsace, where it is considered a workhorse variety that takes a backseat to the more complex Pinot Gris. A white mutation of Pinot Noir, it produces easy-drinking, enjoyable wines here. In Italy, as Pinot Bianco, it gets a little more complex, especially in the mountainous Alto Adige region. It is perhaps most successful as Weissburgunder in Germany and Austria, where the wines are subtle, delicate, surprisingly complex, and age-worthy. There is also some Pinot Blanc performing well in Oregon and cooler pockets of California.
In the Glass
Typically, Pinot Blanc has a relatively full body and expresses simple but pleasing aromas of crisp green apple, pear, citrus, and white flowers. The finest examples possess stony minerality and occasionally ripe stone fruit flavors, and with age can develop intriguing notes of honey, vanilla, and almond.
Perfect Pairings
Delicate Pinot Blanc works well with lighter fare such as salads, seafood, chicken, or turkey, but is truly at its best with Alsatian pairings like Hollandaise dishes, onion tarts, or the region's notable soft cheeses such as Muenster.
Sommelier Secret
Pinot Blanc's delicate aromatics, full body, and moderate acidity make it a great alternative to the world's most popular white wine. Anyone experiencing Chardonnay fatigue and looking to try something new would benefit from giving Pinot Blanc a try.

10 Effective Home Remedies To Treat Cervical Spondylosis
Are you suffering from cervical spondylosis? Is the pain eating you away day by day? Owing to our poor postures, this condition is now becoming normal and common as days pass. So if you are looking to manage cervical spondylosis and not let it overtake your life, this post is the one for you!
Give a read and bid adieu to cervical spondylosis today!
What Is Cervical Spondylosis?
Cervical spondylosis is a form of arthritis that affects the vertebrae of the neck. Usually, there is wear and tear of the bones and cartilages in the neck. Earlier, only the elderly were the victims, but these days the condition is being seen in kids as young as 14.
We usually hang our head down while working on laptops and mobiles, don't we? This puts a lot of strain on the vertebrae of the neck and brings on this condition, though there may not be noticeable symptoms at an early stage for most.
Cervical spondylosis symptoms always become worse over time but, fortunately, these can be controlled and managed for a healthy life. Just follow these suggestions and get back to your best health!
[ Read: Natural Treatment For Back Pain ]
Home Remedies For Cervical Spondylosis:
1. Regular Exercise Is Key:
Cervical spondylosis usually happens due to a lack of regular exercise (1). So get up and shake and relax those stiff muscles of your neck and shoulder. You can try out head rotations, shoulder shrugs and touching your ear to your shoulder. The key is doing these regularly. Devote at least 10 minutes each day to exercise. Walking, swimming and cycling are also hugely recommended. However, if you suffer from severe pain while doing any neck exercise, we suggest that you stop and talk to your doctor.
[ Read: Home Remedies To Treat Muscle Weakness ]
2. Hot And Cold Compresses:
Another way to cut down on cervical spondylosis is to use hot and cold compresses alternatively on your neck and shoulder (2). What hot compresses do is improve blood circulation and relax stretched muscles. Cold compresses help by reducing inflammation and swelling. However, avoid hot compresses if the affected area is red and irritated and cold compresses if you have bad circulation.
3. Epsom Salt Baths:
This is an invaluable way to treat cervical spondylosis pain and stiffness. Epsom salt baths work wonders in healing as the magnesium present in the salt balances the pH levels in the body. This in turn reduces stiffness, swelling and inflammation (3). It also brings down pain in your neck and shoulders. All you have to do is take a couple of tablespoons of Epsom salt and add water for making a paste and apply to your neck and shoulder. Keep it on for 15 minutes, wash and feel the difference. Also, refrain from soaking if you have kidney and cardiac problems, or if you suffer from diabetes.

4. Garlic:
Garlic is a super food for you, says Ayurveda, especially if you have pains and aches due to joint problems and arthritis. That's because it is a good anti-inflammatory agent and an analgesic (4). So, eat two raw garlic cloves on an empty stomach each morning with water. You can also use oil cooked with garlic cloves over the affected area, followed by a hot bath for relief.
5. Turmeric:
Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that make it an amazing remedy for cervical spondylosis.Turmeric also increases the blood circulation (5). This helps improve movement by reducing muscle stiffness, commonly associated with CS. You can add turmeric to milk and drink or consume turmeric tablets. Both worked fine.
6. Sesame Seeds:
This is one of the best herbal remedies for cervical spondylosis that is really effective in treating stiffness and pain caused due to cervical spondylosis. Sesame seeds are storehouses of calcium, manganese, magnesium, zinc, and copper. They also contain vitamins K and D (6), which are good for your bones and joints. You can massage with warm Sesame oil and follow it up with a warm compress for reducing neck pain.
7. Ginger:
Ginger is a great home remedy for cervical spondylosis. It is rich in anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps improve blood circulation, thereby helping to bring down pain and inflammation associated with the condition.
You can incorporate ginger into your diet as ginger tea, and also use ginger oil to massage your neck area.
8. Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar (7) has rich anti-inflammatory properties that make it excellent for managing cervical spondylosis. It also reduces and soothes neck inflammation and pain.
The way to use apple cider vinegar is by soaking a paper towel in it and placing it over the neck for a couple of hours, twice daily. You can also soak in bath water to which 2 cups of apple cider vinegar have been added.
9. Cayenne Pepper:
Cayenne pepper helps in relieving symptoms of cervical spondylosis because it contains a substance called capsaicin (8). Capsaicin has potent pain reducing and anti-inflammatory properties. These are heaven-sent for reducing pain and inflammation in tissues. Add a little cayenne pepper powder to olive oil and massage into skin. Cover the area with a bandage. Leave on for a few hours (or even overnight) for relief.
10. Indian Lilac Or Neem:
Neem is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and a natural analgesic that heals neck pain and swelling. Apply thick, hot paste of neem on your neck and feel the pain disappear.
Lifestyle Changes:
Do not sit in the same position for a long time – move about and take a break. If your boss minds, change your job. Do not lift heavy objects and keep away from 'vata' inducing foods like rice, refined flour and kidney beans. Keep your posture correct to avoid further damage to your vertebrae. And remember, listen to your body and make these changes NOW before cervical spondylosis completely flattens you.

This 1080p HD-TVI/ 1000 TVL CVBS 23x Zoom 390′ IR Outdoor PTZ Camera provides a cost-effective security solution that supports both HD-TVI and CVBS analog technologies.
The HD-TVI outdoor PTZ camera is ideal for surveillance of wide open areas—including parking lots, casinos, school and business campuses, shopping malls, train stations, intersections, and airports.
The PTZ camera is equipped with a 1/3″ CMOS image sensor that produces 2.1 megapixel resolution and features a 23x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom for zooming in on detail. The PTZ security camera has a long-range IR that enables it to see up to 390′ in the dark.
The camera features dual video output, enabling you to choose between HD-TVI and analog technologies. The camera delivers 1920 x 1080 (1080p) full-HD video resolution at 30 frames per second, or 1000 TV lines of CVBS analog at 30 frames per second.
Note: This HD-TVI security camera supports both HD-TVI and CVBS analog output making it possible to use with analog DVRs.
The PTZ camera features true day/night (ICR) which captures sharp, detailed color images during the day and black and white images in low light. Wide dynamic range (WDR) and 3D digital noise reduction (3D-DNR) produce exceptional image quality with less noise in variable and low light conditions.
The camera features Advanced Infrared Technology, which includes Smart IR and EXIR night vision.
Smart IR reduces over-exposure of the IR LED at the center of the image without washing out the subject at close range. Black glass on the lens hides the IR LED from view when the IR is not turned on.
EXIR night vision delivers a wider illumination spread and offers several advantages over standard IR technology, including:
Other imaging features include 3D intelligent positioning and automatic image stabilization, along with privacy masking to keep desired areas private, and specified zones cannot be viewed or recorded.
The outdoor PTZ camera enables you to pan, tilt and zoom in on activity both near and far. The camera features 360° endless panning rotation with a pan speed of 160°/second and -15° ~ 90 tilt (auto flip), with a tilt speed of 120°/second.
The camera offers PTZ Coaxitron support and provides convenient PTZ control over coax cabling with compatible HVRs.

Key Features and Capabilities
HD-TVI Technology – High-definition video over coax. HD-TVI sends zero latency 720p or 1080p full HD video over RG59 coax cabling. HD-TVI cameras and DVRs offer the advantages of HD resolution video, but are as easy to install as standard analog CCTV equipment. HD-TVI enables longer cable runs for long distance installations, with transmission distances of up to 1600' over RG59 coax cables.
Dual Resolution Output – Supports HD-TVI and Analog technologies. The camera supports both HD-TVI and analog resolutions. This enables you to utilize traditional analog, or take advantage of high-definition, full-HD video, based on your application needs.
PTZ Control Over Coax – Convenient PTZ control. The camera offers PTZ Coaxitron support and provides convenient PTZ control over coax cabling with compatible HVRs. This eliminates the need to run an RS-485 line for data, along with setting up traditional PTZ controls for camera address, baud rate, and protocol. Using this HD-TVI PTZ camera with a compatible HVR provides plug-and-play PTZ control for simple installation and ease-of-use.
True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) – Gain better images in diverse lighting conditions. This feature enables the camera to take multiple images while capturing video at different exposure levels. It combines the images for the best balance, and compensates for lights and darks for perfectly exposed images in both bright and shadowed areas of a diversely lit scene. True WDR also reduces video noise.
3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D-DNR) – Get exceptional video image quality with less noise. 3D-DNR incorporates frame-to-frame noise reduction with spatial noise reduction to produce clear video images with less noise, in low light conditions. Noise reduction is critical for video because noise affects image quality. Cameras with 3D-DNR produce sharper, more accurate video images.
True Day/Night (ICR) – Enjoy around-the-clock surveillance. Our day/night cameras with true day/night (ICR) deliver a sharp image in low light and nighttime conditions. An IR cut filter blocks out infrared light to produce true-to-life color images during the daytime. In low light conditions and at night, the filter is removed, letting infrared light pass through to provide crisp, well-defined black and white images.
Privacy Zone Masking – Keep desired areas private. Set zones for select areas within the camera's field of view that need to be excluded when viewing and recording video. These areas are overlaid with a privacy mask so that video of the specified zones cannot be viewed or recorded.

From Washington, USA:
About two months ago, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I am thin and active, so my doctor just recommended that I avoid sweets and excess carbohydrates. However, I have had lows for a month now; they are between 60 and 78 mg/dl [3.3 and 4.3 mmol/L]. My doctor says that these are normal numbers and if I am shaking, it isn't from the number. But, if I really feel like eating something will help (placebo effect) have peanut butter, not orange juice.
However, this web site, and many others say this "Treatment should be given whenever the blood sugar drops below 70 mg/dl [3.9 mmol/l] or symptoms are present." And several sites have commented that the brain does not work as effectively once the blood glucose has dropped below 70 to 75 mg/dl [3.9 to 4.2 mmol/L]. I don't understand what I should do now, could you please advise?
Your point is a good one. We should differentiate between what happens to the blood sugar when we treat with medications to lower it and what the lower limit of normal blood sugars are in people without diabetes. There are women, during pregnancy, that have fasting blood sugars in the 60s mg/dl [3.3 to 3.8 mmol/L] that are not taking any medications for diabetes. They are without symptoms or may wake up with an increased appetite. As you suggest, we should not recommend that people without glucose-lowering medications treat lows in a manner similar to those with diabetes on medications. I think it is reasonable to have your peanut butter snack when you have an increased hunger. At the same time, we need to protect people with diabetes on medications who get low.

AHA: Deaths From Heart Disease Down 28 Percent
Better treatments mean Americans are living longer after heart attacks and strokes, but too many of them still have major heart problems, fueling U.S. health costs, the American Heart Association said on Wednesday.
Deaths from heart disease fell 28 percent between 1997 and 2007 and deaths from stroke fell 45 percent in the same period but the number of heart procedures performed in hospitals rose 27 percent during the same period, according to the report published in the journal Circulation.
"The mortality rate going down is good news; however, the fact that the burden of disease is so high indicates that we may have won a battle against mortality but have not won the war against heart disease and stroke," said Dr. Veronique Roger of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who led the study.
"We can attribute much of that to improved quality of care, with heart and stroke patients getting the care and treatment they need to live longer. But unfortunately the prevalence of these diseases and their risk factors are still high," Roger said in a statement.
The team said the cost of treating heart disease and stroke topped $286 billion in 2007, a figure that includes both health costs and lost productivity at work.
That outstrips the cost of treating cancer and benign tumors, which in 2008 was estimated to exceed $228 billion, the researchers said.
"We need to energize our commitment to strategies that can prevent disease in the first place," Roger said.
According to the report, 33.5 percent of U.S. adults 20 and older have high blood pressure, and while 80 percent known they have high blood pressure, less than half have it under control.
The team also found that 23.1 percent of men and 18.1 percent of women smoke; 5 percent of adults 20 and older have high cholesterol, and more than 67 percent of adults are overweight.
The data was part of the American Heart Association's annual report on heart health.
The AHA said in figure reports, it will focus on progress toward its goal of improving heart health for all Americans by 20 percent while cutting heart-related deaths and strokes by 20 percent.

Light (electromagnetic radiation in general) is indispensable for the genesis of life as either the ultimate source of energy for synthesis or for evolution as a direct agent for variation. The major research interests of the Biomedical Physics group lies in understanding biological systems by investigating their interaction with light, ultimately for medical application of the acquired information. The long-term goal is to study the pathways of energy transfer, and isolate parameters that are fundamental to the understanding of interaction mechanisms. Special research areas include:
Additional research continues to be conducted on the effects of physical agents such as temperature, electric fields, and ultrasound on biological tissues.
