Excerpt From Jane's World
"Unlike Dane, I was fully prepared to snoop. I didn't grow up reading Nancy Drew books by flashlight under my bedcovers for nothing. I was born for this mystery. After all, forty dollars is a lot of money and someone would be happy to get it back."

I specially want to use this word after "adolescent" . better said, I'm looking for a nice paraphrasing for " young people ".
searching for a suitable synonym for " a group of people " ex. young people , old people , etc
Boys and girls? .. – user66974 Feb 5 '15 at 16:31
I'm afraid it's not what I need... what I'm looking for has to bear a much closer meaning to a word like " generation " and suchlike. – Kasra Feb 5 '15 at 16:37
2You can simply call them adolescents. (or pre-teens, tweenies, pre-pubescents, etc.) – Kristina Lopez Feb 5 '15 at 16:43
I'm looking for a word to use after adolescent , I got no problems with adolescent itself, ex. is a collocation like " adolescent generation " a correct one? @KristinaLopez – Kasra Feb 5 '15 at 16:55
2In more academic writing, you could say "cohort." – Sasha Vodnik Feb 5 '15 at 17:54
A bevy of adolescents or bevy of youths means a group of young persons. Not exactly the kind of construction you're looking for, but it would mean the same as "an adolescent (word)".
"bevy", used most frequently with girls, women and children. I've also seen it used with reference to sailors.
- "bevy" (noun) - a group or assemblage: a bevy of young beach boys, a bevy of sailors, a bevy of beauties. TFD
- "youth, pl youths" (noun) young persons or creatures —usually plural in construction. Merriam-Webster
'battery' is a term used for group of people, usually soldiers - but it is not restricted to soldiers. It can be used for young people - 'charged' with lot of 'energy', I would presume.
2I'm very curious if you could come up with one literary example where a group of youngsters are described as a battery. – Mari-Lou A Feb 5 '15 at 17:51
telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/england/9277279/… - to quote 'It is England who now have the battery of pace men who can make the ball talk'. I remember reading it - especially the phrase 'battery of pacemen' is used quite a few times in cricket. – Raghuraman R Feb 6 '15 at 3:51
might the word be moxie: a moxie adolescent.
A few informal and humorous terms for groups of young people
My personal favorite being:
gaggle noun a group of people, especially a noisy and uncontrolled group
but then there are these:
bunch noun a group of people
gang noun a group of friends, especially young people
mob noun a group of people who are connected in some way
crew noun a group of people
clan noun a group of people who share an interest or goal
bevy noun a group of people or things of the same kind
lot noun a particular group of people
posse noun a group of friends (This word is mainly used by young people referring to other young people)
from the MACMILLAN DICTIONARY
A group of people from the same generation (of same or nearly same age) are called a "cohort".
Free Dictionary COHORT Noun 1(c) A generational group as defined in demographics, statistics or market research

$300,000 provided to furnish two homes under Indigent Housing Project
ST JAMES, Jamaica (JIS) — Local Government and Community Development Minister Desmond Mckenzie, says $300, 000 has been provided to furnish two houses in St Ann that have been constructed under the Indigent Housing Project.
The two studio units, which consist of a bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen area, were constructed in the communities of Lime Hall and Beecher Town at a cost of $1.8 million each.
Speaking at the St Ann Municipal Corporation's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Lawrence Park, St Ann's Bay, on Friday, McKenzie says the provision "will ensure that persons, who are benefiting from these two units will not just have a roof over their heads but will have a bed, a stove, a refrigerator."
Six houses have been constructed under the Indigent Housing Project, with construction to begin on four more in January 2019.
In the meantime, McKenzie is urging Jamaicans to place special emphasis on assisting those in need during the Christmas season.
"Christmas is a time of giving; it is a time that we express love. It is a time that you should go beyond the norm to extend the privilege that we have that many will never have," he said.
For his part, Mayor of St. Ann's Bay and Chairman of the St Ann Municipal Corporation, Councillor Michael Belnavis urged the residents to ensure that the true meaning of Christmas is highlighted as they celebrate the season.
"It's not all those fancy lights and the Christmas cake and the sorrel. That is the celebration of it. It is the Lord Christ Jesus being born. We are celebrating that event because he saved our lives," he noted.
Scores of residents turned out to participate in the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony, which was organised by the Civil Affairs and Community Relations Committee of the St Ann Municipal Corporation.
The ceremony featured the singing of carols and performances from various high school students as well as local entertainers.

If you haven't been living under a rock, you know that we're being bombarded with marketing, advertising and promotions. If you're like me — and I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this — your email inbox resembles Times Square. Just overloaded with the email equivalent of glaringly bright, flashy lights.
What's concerning from a marketing professional's perspective is that 40 percent of US consumers say most marketing promotions do not deliver anything of interest.
How is that possible, given that there's so much data being collected on consumers? Big data, if collected and analyzed correctly, "allows companies to make meaningful, strategic adjustments that minimize costs and maximize results," according to Forbes. And who doesn't want that?
That's the magic behind incredible content: a rock-solid marketing strategy that leverages that data so that you're ahead of the curve. Your content — from newsletters to social media to mailers if you're still doing that — needs to be relevant, interesting and compelling.
Yeah, I Have a Marketing Strategy
Do you? Or do you have a hodge podge of old content, inconsistently managed social media accounts and random email newsletters? Because those are two different things.
Another question to ask is: do you have a content and growth strategy? Or just one or the other?
This question was inspired by a Social Media Happy Hour Hangouts podcast, where hosts Traci Reuter and Dawn Ortiz discuss the need for both. Here's the podcast.
And I wholeheartedly agree: Time and time again, I've seen businesses brush-off or undervalue the power of a robust, thoughtful, marketing strategy that includes specific goals, timelines, demographics and methods of getting to those goals.
Do I Really Need to Spend Hours Looking at a Word Doc/PowerPoint/White Board?
For marketing tactics to be effective: yes, you must invest time, energy and resources into your marketing strategy. Let me break it down for you.
A marketing strategy is a lot like wearing pants: Sure, you could walk around with no pants all day, but people are going to notice that something's missing.
So, without it, you're kind of embarrassing yourself and chances are, you're probably slightly uncomfortable too.
This has been proven. According to the Content Marketing Institute, having a documented content marketing strategy makes organizations more effective. Plus, it makes it easier to document ROI for marketing efforts.
Content Marketing Strategy
Alright, where to start. Let's start with the content marketing strategy. It should include the:
Themes - What does your ideal customer need? How can you help them? What will they find relevant so you're not being ignored or deleted? Go for a mix of evergreen (i.e. relevant and interesting for long periods of time like months or even years) and time-sensitive content (i.e. centered on holidays, seasons, special events).
Type - What kind of content will you create? Options vary depending on your goals and target audience and there are oodles out there: blogs, videos, photos, infographics, newsletters, surveys, contests, coupons, how to guides. Here's a big, big list to help you get some ideas.
Timing - When will you post your content? Begin to layout what themes you'll cover during large periods of time — by month or even quarter. This is a bird's eye view of your content marketing strategy for the year, which can be used later to develop a more detailed tactical calendar.
Sample Marketing Content Calendar for one of the fastest growing freelance sectors, auto repair shops
Marketing Growth Strategy
So, you have good content. Even great content. Now you need channels to distribute it -- and strong ones.
That's where the growth strategy comes in. Depending on your target customer's demographics, choose channels that will help you reach them. The general theory is: the more likely your target demographic is to be on a channel, the more likely they are to hear your message about how your product/service is going to change their life.
Here are some examples:
Source: Business Insider, Pew Research, Entrepreneur
Do the research to identify the best channels for your business goals.
Do not set up a Pinterest account just for the hell of it.
Do not gather email addresses and wait a year to send your first newsletter.
Take the time to understand who's on what channel, what your target demographic is and then move on to setting up those accounts.
Then — you guessed it — track the data to measure success. Maybe your Pinterest boards need to be adjusted; maybe your Tweets need prettier images; maybe your direct mailers look like every other mailer a customer receives. Your growth strategy should be developed and adjusted on an ongoing basis, and it should be used to pivot that content marketing strategy as needed.
What do you think the magic behind incredible content is? Let me know in the comments or find me on Twitter.

The Holiday Diet – How dietary restrictions affect holiday meals
Story By Lexi Phillips
We're all familiar with the traditional holiday meals—roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Families and friends gather together to stuff their faces and spread love and cheer. These are the basics of Thanksgiving and Christmas. But tradition isn't always the best option for every family—especially when you have a dietary restriction that prevents you from eating the same foods as everyone else.
For some, this means finding alternatives to certain foods: tofurkey, gluten-free stuffing, dairy-free mashed potatoes and the like. For others, it means figuring out different types of foods that they can eat along with their family. To get a better look at how those with dietary restrictions eat during the holidays, PULSE spoke with past and present CWU students for their experiences and their favorite holiday dishes. Check out what they had to say, and find some new holiday recipes to try this season!
Accommodating for Differences in Diet and Lifestyle
For senior Steven Baril, who is double majoring in film and physics and has been a vegetarian for almost two years, the holidays are easy. "It's kind of nice for my family. They kind of like it, because … it caused them to make new dishes that they hadn't made before," he says. He goes on to explain that since he's gone vegetarian, his family has started eating more vegetarian as well, and have begun experimenting with meat-free foods.
Trevor Krey, another senior film major who is also vegetarian, says things are harder for him. "[For] most of the … holidays, I basically just don't eat. I just avoid everything that has meat in it, because my parents don't really care what I do." This is not an uncommon occurrence. Those who choose to go on a certain diet may find their family criticizing the diet change or just generally not caring or doing anything to accommodate for it.
"I was born into a vegetarian family, so I'm fortunate," says junior Karie Urban, who is double majoring in English and history and has been vegan for over year and vegetarian for nine, "I know [for] a lot of vegans, sometimes their parents will reject them." Urban continues to say she is a member of a group for vegans on Facebook, on which she hears many stories of people being rejected by their families due to their veganism.
Urban also explains that as a vegan, the food isn't the hard part so much as receiving gifts. "My boyfriend is Mexican, and his mother reads and speaks English and stuff like that, but sometimes she forgets, so one year she bought me these really cute boots … but they were made out of suede. I didn't know how to tell her, or what to say," she says.
Additionally, she says she occasionally receives wool blankets and sweaters, and that she has to check the tag on certain gifts to make sure they don't contain a wool blend. So, if you are planning on giving a holiday gift to someone with a dietary restriction, talk to them and see if their dietary restriction extends to items as well. If it does, make sure you're not about to run into an awkward moment where your friend or family member can't accept your gift.
If you have a dietary restriction and you are unsure if your family (or the people hosting your holiday dinner) will be willing to accommodate for you, you may have to accommodate for yourself. "If you're going to a family gathering where you know them well enough, just [tell] them, 'Hey, I just adopted this new dietary change. You don't have to accommodate me, but can I bring … cranberry sauce, or a gluten-free stuffing?'" says Nutrition grad student Alicia DiFolco, who has her B.S. in Food Science and Nutrition and is a certified registered dietitian. "Because it's hard to put that on the host to make something." Other options, she says, are to either eat the side dishes that are available and adhere to your diet, bring a main dish that everyone can enjoy but that you can eat most of or ask for certain toppings to be put on the side.
"That means you can choose—'Oh, I want the brussels sprouts, but I can't have cheese because I'm vegan, so I'll just add my own stuff,'" DiFolco explains.
What to Eat
For Urban, it's all about finding substitutes for traditional holiday foods. "I love making vegan green bean casserole. So, I make my own mushroom gravy and cook with fresh green beans," she says. For tofurky, she recommends the Tofurky brand or Field Roast, both of which taste "so much like turkey. … I'll [also] usually do creamy mashed potatoes. So, I'll use vegan sour cream, almond milk and red potatoes."
Desserts, however, can be harder for vegans. Urban says she always buys organic sugar, due to non-organic sugar being processed through bone char. "PETA will confirm certain things, like at Costco you can get apple pie, and that one's been confirmed vegan-friendly," she says, but she warns that any store-bought dessert may seem to be vegan, but may not actually be.
First-Year Clinical Physiology Major Sarah Sanders, who has been gluten-free by choice for seven years, takes a similar approach. "I don't eat rolls, because I haven't found a gluten-free roll that I like so far, but [my family and I] have figured out how to make a pretty good gluten-free stuffing. … For pies, my mom makes me my own little soufflé that's without the crust—so it's the inside of pie," she explains.
For many vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free eaters, it only takes a little bit more work to make something close to the traditional holiday meals so prevalent in America. For others, they simply choose to take a different route.
Elijah Bergevin, a sophomore double majoring in music and actuarial science who has been a vegetarian for almost two years, tries to spice up holiday dinners by making different types of salads, using things like cranberries or broccoli. "We just try to focus on things beyond the meat and potatoes," he explains.
Former PULSE Associate Editor Mandi Ringgenburg, who has been lactose intolerant for three years and vegan for two, prefers to make simple, fruit- and veggie-rich dishes during the holidays. "My ideal dinner has tons of fresh, cooked vegetables, a salad, sweet potatoes, cooked spiced apples and vegan 'meat' dishes," she says.
First-year Secondary Education Major Gerald Lemmon says things are hard for him during the holidays due to a dairy sensitivity, especially when it comes to desserts, which often contain milk. "With that, it's hard to really get through the holidays sometimes, because there's candy, there's festivities, there's all kinds of stuff."
To make up for this, Lemmon uses marshmallows in place of milk in pastries. "You can make cookies into a cake using that, and it just adds another layer of soft, gooey flavor, which is kind of cool."
Lemmon also says his favorite holiday dessert is his grandmother's chocolate cookie bars, which contain sugar, flour, non-dairy butter, non-dairy chocolate chips and walnuts. These are combined and baked in the oven, then cut into squares. "It's just like having a cookie, but it's much softer and it doesn't have milk," he explains.
Former PULSE Editor-in-Chief Nicole Trejo-Valli, who has a gluten and dairy intolerance, says she still allows herself to indulge on foods that her body is sensitive to. "It has never really been an issue for me other than when it comes to desserts, but if there is something I love, then I'll eat it even if I shouldn't," she says. "The holidays are a special occasion, and my dietary restrictions are more of a personal choice, which is why I'll indulge when it comes to dessert during this time." Trejo-Valli says her favorite foods to eat during the holiday season are apple pie with ice cream and her mom's pork.
Making the Most of the Holidays
For some, the holidays are a time of joy and love, regardless of whether or not they eat a turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. For others, it can be hard, and they may find themselves unable to enjoy the holidays as much as they'd like. All in all, remember that it's not about the food; it's about appreciating what you have and the people you love. Whether you have a dietary restriction or not, and no matter what you celebrate, Trejo-Valli says it best: "Live a little and indulge during the holidays."

This Rose Petal Highlighter by Lâncome is Already Breaking the Internet
Whether you're a fan of kitsch or not, there's absolutely not doubt about the beauty and delicate nature of this new highlighter by Lâncome. It's like the beauty product you never knew you wanted/needed but somehow made its way into your heart.
The highlighter is dispensed through a super soft and delicate faux rose with illuminating-powder infused petals that sit inside a hat box reminiscent of the 1950s. Now how's that for presentation?
To use it you just grab your favorite brush and swirl it in circular motions atop the rose petals and then apply it to your face like you would any other highlight. Bonus points to Lâncome in that, unlike your usual pretty shaped powders, this rose doesn't wilt or fade away after you start using the product. The petals stays the intact, no matter how many times you dip your brush in it.
See it in action here:

Do you practice any full moon rituals, do you do anything special for the full moon?
I go out in my fields and play with my dogs,be all wolf like and such.It's best in the winter cause I can play hardcore and not worry about getting hurt,it's also one of the most beautiful nights.I stay up extra late,just listening to the night and being as wolf as possible.
I go for a walk....that's about all I can do
I wander around somewhere natural if I can and spend alot of time staring at it. It's puuurty like.
I used to go out and howl for about a half hour when I was little,then these weird neighbors moved in and started howling back...in a mocking way!
i howl. and like go for walks and stuff... and stare at the moon... man, it sure can look beautiful.

I can't howl...
Too many people. The best thing I can do is go for a walk in a vacant field and howl lowly .
*Hugs BW*
You need a vacation in the wilderness!!!
I also like to dance to CCR-Bad moon rising in the summer time!
I usually am use to staying up all night because of third shift working and Howl at night very early in the morning as the sun comes up on full moons or other nights but here lately it's been too cold for me to stir outside too long.
I wonder what kind of full moon rituals one may carry out? I remember trying to write a short story about it one time...
One time, I remember reading a special ritual that was supposed to turn one into a werewolf online. I think the site no longer exists, but what happened was, one put together some kind of salve or ointment, which was created from various herbs and hallucinogens. I clearly remember ergot and belladonna(deadly nightshade). I've read that belladonna is a very strong hallucinogen, which can sometimes cause nightmarish hallucinations. So one takes off ones clothes, puts on a belt made of wolf's fur ( I think there is another name for that) and rubs the salve on in a ritualistic fashion. Of course one could do that before the moon...
But that ritual, or any kind of fantasy of a ritual in turning into a werewolf seems to emphasize that mystical/erotic quality I see in the werewolf. A man takes off his clothing, and lays himself bare before the moon, that entrancing light in which one may undergo a partial dissolution of self, and the transgressions or sacred losing of oneself is bound up with the werewolf.
Too bad I don't live out in the woods...but I would imagine building a fire in a circle of trees, stripping, and running some kind of sensory enhancing salve over my body, dancing around the fire, taking entranced glances at the moon...putting the fire out with water really fast, and standing on top of the smoke which dances around my body, and then watching that smoke meld the moon in my sight, as I am passed into a melding delirium myself.

But it is a ritual that you can do on the night of the full moon.
A friend aims his shoutgun at the moon in hopes of killing an alien.

Anyway...I don't think so...right guys?
The topic is Full Moon Rituals, and Batailleros was describing a full moon ritual. Quite poetically too I thought, though that kind of thing wouldn't work for me.
Yes, and that kind of thing would be illegal and dangerous as far as your health and mental health.
Last edited by Siverwolf (2007-02-12 00:04:57)
Yeah, and it wouldn't be too good for the wolf the belt was made from either......
On Full Moons...I go out on late night walks. I let the primal side influence me more than usual, even in public. ...not sure what else afterwards.
I tend to dance. *shrug* As much in the outdoors as I can, though I often cannot be there... light a circle of candles, open my windows as far as they will go, and perform the dances I've learned since childhood.
When that's through, I'll generally run, howl, visit my lifemate... stuff like that.

I don't think I could tell a mocking howl from an actual howl. :headtilt:

Yes, I always do my Rituals during the Full Moon. I find it more effective.
I used to do full moon rituals regularly. For one thing I was in a coven for years and there was always a ritel. But even on my own I used to always do a little something to align with the phase of the moon, honor what it means to me, etc.
For quite a few years since I lost a great deal of my spirituality and have only recently come back to it. I will probably do a full moon ritual tonight, but not sure what yet. Something to honor a return to spirit, to leave behind forever the feeling of being forsaken since I came to a better understanding of some things in my life.
I'm going through a forsaken phase at the moment... trying to get my stuff together and work out some stuff.
Out of curiousity, what sort of things are involved in your rituals (if not a secret! ) Like incense or meditation or something?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Danica Patrick knows she can't supply crowd-pleasing excitement or deliver top-five finishes every time she hits the track.
Sure, her picture has been rotated around the city on three billboards for months ahead of the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, one encouraging locals to "See Danica Drive." She'll certainly be the most recognizable name – and face – running at a venue smack dab in NASCAR country.
For her part, Patrick isn't promising to remain the center of attention once racing begins Sunday.
"I'm not always going to have an exciting race, and I know that," she said Friday. "It's good when I do, because it's good for me, it's good for the sport, it's good for everybody. If I don't have an exciting race, I don't. There's nothing I can do about that, and that's fine.
"I think the series is doing a good job of trying to make other drivers popular. I think that's important. I don't really feel any pressure."
Patrick isn't off to a drama-packed start. Her best finish in three Nationwide Series races was 31st. She was 15th out of 24 in the recent IndyCar opener in Brazil.
Patrick fared much better in St. Petersburg two weeks ago, when she maneuvered from 21st to seventh.
She knows the sharp turns and shorter straightaways will make strategy and quick pit stops key on the 2.38-mile, 17-turn road course. It's more about nuances than the smash 'em up, four-wide racing excitement offered down Interstate 20 at NASCAR's Talladega Superspeedway.
Patrick's answer: Watch closely.
"There'll be no mystery that (with) road courses, there's just not enough action," Patrick said. "If you pay attention very closely to the race as a fan, you can find the excitement in the strategies and how it's playing out. But you really need to know what you're looking at and you need to have people tell you what's going on, because it's difficult to tell if you're just sitting and watching or at home not paying enough attention."
In other words, it's about strategy, something Patrick seems eager to talk about when reporters' questions drift from her celebrity status.
Topics like fuel windows, challenges in passing, quicker tire changes with the number of rubber-chewing high-speed turns and three pit stops, not two.
"That will make it interesting and open up opportunities for any position on the grid wherever you qualify to take advantage and play with the strategies a little bit," Patrick said. "Coming from our camp, it looks like it's going to be interesting."

The attempts of power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan to get into political limelight are looking very funny and non-serious.
At a time when the political atmosphere in Andhra Pradesh is getting heated up over the injustice done to AP in the Central budget, Pawan is meeting people who are politically insignificant to the state – former MP Vundavalli Arun Kumar and Lok Satta chief Jayaprakash Narayan.
On Thursday, Pawan met JP and discussed the issue of forming a joint action committee to fight for special category status to AP. Nothing has emerged out of the meeting, except that both Pawan and JP patted each other's back.
On the other hand, Vundavalli wondered how he could help Pawan Kalyan in his mission.
"I am politically nowhere and has been keeping away from electoral politics, though I have been responding on people's issues. I wonder why Pawan thought I would help him," he said.
He, however, welcomed Pawan's proposal to float a JAC.
"It is good that Pawan wants to do something, which I feel is a welcome sign. But I don't know what exactly Pawan is fighting for and what my role will be. I will meet him in Hyderabad on Saturday to know his mind," Vundavalli said.

Earth Day is one of my favourite days because, I mean, I love this Earth! Who doesn't?!
This Earth Day was a spectacular one with loads of sun, a bit of heat, and one of my best gals and fellow blogger, Jenn (writer and creator of Posted Discoveries - you NEED to check it out!)! She got me out to a spot that is quite close to me but one that I have not yet been to, the Frink Center. The ground is still muddy, and the ice is slowly melting causing for some messy trekking, but it made for a great adventure.
This spot is perfect for the avid bird watcher - or maybe you are like me and you find birds to be quite entertaining. It's also a beautiful spot for photos, to relax, and spend a sunny afternoon with friends (human and furry)!
I am so lucky to have adventurous friends who get out more than me, haha! Make sure to check out Jenn's blog to learn more about other local destinations and the many cool spots that she has been all over!

Have you ever stopped to consider the positive things that come with enrolling in a Norco treatment center? Many times, enrolling in any type of treatment center is frowned upon or considered something negative. Come on, if you had not become addicted to Norco in the first place, you would not need to be in a Norco treatment center, right? These are the types of thoughts that many people, maybe even you, have about treatment centers. Hence, we pose the question again, have you ever stopped to consider the positive things that come with enrolling in a Norco treatment center? Call The Watershed at 1-800-861-1768 to see how we can help you view treatment in a positive light.
Even if you have grown dependent on Norco from using the drug as prescribed but for an extended time, once you realize that you are dependent on it, you might feel dejected. It is easy to feel hopeless when you can no longer control something. However, a Norco treatment center means hope for you and others in your situation. Hope is one of the first positive things we want to discuss about enrolling in a Norco treatment center because hope is very easily one of the first things you lose when feel as if there is no help. You might not always feel hopeful in treatment but, nonetheless, hope is there. When you enroll in a Norco treatment center you are gaining the hope of healing and recovery. It is natural to feel as if these things will never come but they will if you are willing to work.
We want to give you the hope of healing at The Watershed because we want you to experience it. We are capable of helping you feel hope because we are good at what we do. You are an individual at The Watershed and you will be treated as such. Call The Watershed at 1-800-861-1768 so that we can create an individualized Norco treatment center plan for you.
Believe it or not, Norco rehab also means healing. In the right Norco treatment center, healing can be an option for you. Mind you, this healing will not happen overnight. It is a process that must take time if you want complete healing. Before enrolling in a Norco treatment center, you were broken in more ways than you realize. You were physically addicted to the narcotic, which meant that your body could not function without it. You were mentally addicted to the drug, which means you need the drug to function. Essentially, you were a broken person as long as you were addicted to the Norco. However, when you enroll in a Norco treatment center, the healing process begins. You first detox and then you start healing mentally and spiritually. All you need to do is call The Watershed at 1-800-861-1768 to begin healing.
Even if you are still undecided as to if a Norco treatment center is a good thing or not, treatment can mean recovery for you. It is only logical that you would be suspicious of a facility that is trying to change your Norco use. However, you must not let this indecisiveness keep you from enrolling in a Norco treatment center because then you cannot experience the true recovery that it can offer. In a Norco treatment center, you are given the tools and support that is needed to overcome your dependency on the narcotic for good. Moreover, you are given the opportunity to deal with any other mental or physical issue that may be present. Recovery comes from healing the body and then the mind and spirit and this is exactly what we strive to help you do at The Watershed. We strive to help you experience complete recovery in the most comfortable way possible. Recovery is achievable at The Watershed.
While we have been discussing a few of the positive things that come with enrolling in a Norco treatment center, we do have to be completely honest. A Norco treatment center is nothing without you. Sure, the treatment center is capable of all of the things we have been discussing but how effective will treatment be if you are not trying to get better. You have to want to be in the Norco treatment center and you have to desire sobriety. You cannot expect hope, healing, and recovery to be in your future if you are not willing to except them into that future. However, if you are willing to work hard, deal with the bad days, and lean on the support being offered, everything we discussed and more can be yours at The Watershed.
For additional information on the Norco Treatment center programs at The Watershed, please visit http://thewatershed.com. For immediate assistance call The Watershed anytime at 1-800-861-1768.

Known it before
Emachines are notorious for having bad power supplies.
From your description it does seem like the power supply went bad, however when this happens it is sometimes the case that the power supply has been outputting incorrect voltages with the consequence that damage occurs to the motherboard, and sometimes to other components as well.
There is a possibility therefore that even you replace the motherboard as well that the RAM modules, disk drives and processor are all damaged.

Feeding Your Chickens on a Budget
Most of the time, during the Spring Summer and Fall, feeding chickens will be minimal to non-existent if they are free-range. They are wonderfully equipped to find their own food - bugs, seeds, greens.
When you start with chicks, you can feed them a commercial diet, phase them into a homemade diet, or go homemade all the way.
Adding fresh chopped greens to their diet from day 4 on, is a good way to start them on their way to a home-grown diet. Start adding in some grains- about 2 parts ground wheat, oats and corn (easy on the corn) and one part protein: fish meal, small portion of canned cat food, chopped hard boiled or scrambled eggs. yogurt, cottage cheese, worms grubs and bugs. My children used to love hunting for the worms and bugs for the chicks. Then add 1 part greens - lettuce, dandilion, clover, spinach, weeds finely chopped. Add some ground eggshells for their grit. Save your egg shells and dry them in the oven. Pulverize and crush them. This makes fine grit for chicks.
After about 4 weeks, chicks can eat the grain whole.
If your chickens are confined, they still would love to eat greens. Hang a cabbage head in a wire basket, or old onion bag and watch them peck at it. You can also get heads of cabbage and push a long bolt through one, put a washer and nut on the end and hang the bolt from a hook. The cabbage is good in antioxidants and other things in addition to being cheap entertainment for the
chickens and you as you watch them swing it back and forth.
The greens are what makes the eggs so nutritious and that beautiful orange color yolk.
Adult chickens are wonderful at eating your kitchen scraps. Peelings, sweet or sour milk, pickles, meat scraps. All the vegetables, banana peels, french fries and stuff from your refrigerator is also relished. They don't particularly like onions or citrus. (Don't feel them anything moldy). I bring doggie bags home for my critters.

Michaela Gibson is a recent Gilbert graduate who is offering private lessons this summer.
If you are looking for a way to gain more skills in the summer, this is a great option. Her fees range from $25 per hour for a single player to $75 per hour for a group of six.
Throughout the summer I would like to help Gilbert youth improve their skills by starting with the basic fundamentals and working their way up to thinking more abstractly and creatively about the game they play as they're playing it. However, not every individual or group I work with will be organized the same. While I will put a lot of focus on making sure every kid has the basics down with a really strong foundation to build on in the upcoming years of their soccer experience, I also plan on integrating in some of the things you and your child are most interested in improving on. If your child desires to have a better, stronger shot, I will design his/her sessions to work toward that. If it's a more defensive mindset your child has, I will design the sessions to work on defense. There are many ways to create beneficial, effective soccer sessions!

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Are Having 'Serious Trust Issues'
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's relationship is not in a good place following cheating allegations.
According to TMZ, the couple hasn't had the chance to fully repair their relationship after Kylie accused the "SICKO MODE" rapper of cheating last month. Sources told the gossip site the two have been in communication since the incident, "but only in spurts." Adding, their relationship "isn't even close to what it used to be," and Kylie has "serious trust issues" with Travis.
What makes it worse is the fact that he's currently on tour, which has made it hard for them to have a "serious sit-down." Not to mention, Kylie's also preparing to launch new products for her cosmetics line. With Kylie's attention focused on her business and the couple's one-year-old daughter, Stormi, the insider said she's made it clear that she "doesn't want Travis to cancel any shows or skip out on commitments to work things out." Instead, the couple is reportedly planning to work on their relationship during Travis' long tour break next month.
Despite their scheduled reconciliation, Travis hasn't stopped making it known that he's fighting for his family. Days after Kylie confronted him for cheating, Travis gave the 21-year-old billionaire a shoutout at the end of his Madison Square Garden Show. And most recently, the 26-year-old rapper wore a Kylie sweatshirt, which featured her face on a polaroid, to the Rockets-Warriors game in Houston, Texas on Wednesday (March 13).
As fans know, late last month, Kylie reportedly found "evidence" of Travis' alleged infidelity. Following her discovery, Travis reportedly postponed his "Astroworld" concert in Buffalo to straighten things out. TMZ claimed that while the "Butterfly Effect" rapper said he couldn't attend the show because of illness, he was actually back home in L.A. trying to get his relationship in order.

Loder 1899, the luxury car tuner regards itself as a one-stop solution for all individual design concepts ranging from wheel or tire combinations, including non standard sizes to motor management solutions in the high-end market. With a long history behind, the company is a perfectionist. They are keen on upgrading Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover and Ford cars. Their latest project is based on the Ford Fiesta ST.
The Ford Fiesta ST is powered by the same EcoBoost 1.6-liter gasoline engine but its power has been increased from the series 182 HP (134 kW) and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) to 235 HP (173 kW) and 335 Nm (247 lb-ft) of torque. The standard Ford Fiesta ST can do the 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.9 seconds. The Loder 1899 version will be 0.4 seconds faster as a result of the additional boost.
Loder 1899 managed to add the extra 53 HP (39 kW) by playing some tricks on the exhaust system and intercooler. Some software updates are also the ace in the sleeve. Besides the power boost, the client can choose to purchase a new braking system, a few subtle body elements, a customizable suspension system as well as a variety of wheels. The small Ford Fiesta ST can now be innocent and wild at the same time.

I got Mac OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos app and none of my pictures from iPhoto appear in Reunion 9?
Mac OS X version 10.10.3 (released April 8 2015) includes Apple's new Photos app, which is a spiffier version of iPhoto.
Unfortunately, the Photos app breaks the link between Reunion and iPhoto. Put another way, Reunion can't find your pictures because the Photos app has renamed your iPhoto library and thus broken the links to the pictures.
The new Photos app creates a new "Photos Library" (inside your user/Pictures folder). It does not delete your existing iPhoto Library (which is good). However, it renames the extension of your iPhoto library and thus, essentially, it has changed the library and Reunion can't find it.
To fix the problem, here's what you need to do...
- First and foremost: It's important to keep your iPhoto Library! I.e., do not trash your iPhoto Library after the Photos app gets installed with Mac OS X 10.10.3.
- Quit Reunion 9 and Quit iPhoto if it is running.
- In the Finder, locate your iPhoto Library file. It's probably in the User/Pictures folder.
- Single-click the iPhoto Library file and choose
iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary
That name means that the new Photos app has renamed your old iPhoto library, and that's why Reunion 9 can't find your pictures in iPhoto.
. Reveal the "Name & Extension" box if necessary and you'll notice that the "Name & Extension" box will say...
- Depending on the age of your iPhoto library, you'll need to do one of two things...
- Change the extension to photolibrary, so that the "Name & Extension" box would say...
iPhoto Library.photolibrary
- Remove the extension, so that the iPhoto Library is simply named iPhoto Library.
- Change the extension to photolibrary, so that the "Name & Extension" box would say...
Note: If you had upgraded to Reunion 11 (or Reunion 10) prior to getting the Mac OS X 10.10.3 update, then this problem wouldn't have happened. However, once you have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.10.3, then subsequently upgrading to the latest version of Reunion will not solve the problem. Put another way, do not buy the Reunion 11 upgrade hoping to solve the problem of missing pictures after you experience the problem.

Concrete Vs. cement
This concern may not have crossed your mind until now; nevertheless, it is a thinker, wouldn't you claim? The usual person seems to make use of the two reciprocally.

Concrete Upkeep Tips
Concrete is not usually a surface area that we consider when speaking about basic upkeep and also maintenance. We have actually all passed by a residence or organisation that has huge fractures running via an oil discolored driveway, or strolled on a concrete surface area that has actually ended up being matched as well as abrasive after years of direct exposure to the components.

$20 at the door/$15 for students
Ken Thomson, alto saxophone, compositions
Anna Webber, tenor saxophone
Russ Johnson, trumpet
Nick Finzer, trombone
Adam Armstrong, bass
Daniel Dor, drums
Ken Thomson is a Brooklyn-based clarinetist, saxophonist, and composer. In demand as a composer and freelancer in many settings, he moves quickly between genres and scenes, bringing a fiery intensity and emotional commitment to every musical situation; Time Out NY called him "the hardest-working saxophonist in new-music show business."
He plays clarinet for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, one of the world's preeminent new music ensembles. He leads the Asphalt Orchestra – a 12-piece next-generation avant-garde marching band, called "cooly brilliant, infectious… top notch players" by The New York Times. He plays saxophone and is one of the 3 composers in the punk/jazz band Gutbucket, with whom he has toured internationally to nineteen countries and 32 states over fourteen years, and released CDs for Knitting Factory, Enja, NRW, Cantaloupe and Cuneiform Records. He is on faculty at the Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival.
As a composer, he has been commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra, Bang on a Can, the True/False Film Festival, and others, and has received awards from New Music USA, ASCAP and Meet the Composer. The New York Times wrote of his work "Wait Your Turn" for the American Composers Orchestra upon its debut at Carnegie Hall: "The concert ended on a high note…. the music offered a density worthy of the closing bars of a Led Zeppelin epic;" and of his work "seasonal.disorder" for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, "a virtuoso piece… a texture laced with power chords, screaming clarinet lines and cluster-laden piano writing. In the end it is sheer madness, in a good, thrillingly visceral way." The Philadelphia Inquirer also noted: "Thomson's Wait Your Turn is as visceral as music can be."
He has recently released a CD of his compositions with the heralded JACK Quartet, entitled "Thaw," on Cantaloupe Music.
His 2009 saxophone nonet, "Rut," was featured on the Bang on a Can Marathon NYC; his 2012 work "Incoming" and 2013 work "Music for Trains" premiered at the Bang on a Can Summer Marathon at Mass MoCA, North Adams, MA in 2012-13. His through-composed rescoring of the 22-minute 1936 British film "Night Mail" was called "a masterful re-imagining of an old classic" by Indiewire.com upon its debut at the True/False Film Festival. His clarinet quintet "How to Play" has been played in the US and Australia by multiple ensembles. The San Francisco Weekly writes about his music, "Thomson's original compositions are as complex as a beehive, filled with amber-hued nooks and crannies that bear traces of jazz, world music, and classical, without succumbing to any of them."
As a saxophonist and clarinetist, he is a member of the next-generation chamber orchestra Signal (conducted by Brad Lubman), working directly with composers from Steve Reich to Helmut Lachenmann and a performer on CDs for Mode, Orange Mountain, and Cantaloupe Records. He is a frequent collaborator with many new-composed music groups including Alarm Will Sound (on their Nonesuch Records debut, "A/rhythmia"), International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), So Percussion, and
more. He has also worked as a music director, notably, directing composer Julia Wolfe's "Traveling Music" at the Bordeaux Conservatory, France, 2009, and has conducted performances of "Music for Airports" with the Bang on a Can All-Stars, choir, and guest musicians in Melbourne and Buenos Aires.

Starring James Spader, Kim Richards, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Clark
The new enigmatic kid in town(Spader) runs afoul of a local street gang, while falling in love with the leader's girl. Wears its era blatantly, and I find that to be its strength and weakness; punk rock music, leather jackets, mesh shirts, too-big hair. It's all here. Fortunately the acting from the leads is good. Spader, Downey Jr., and Richards all give solid turns, but the acting from the gang members is a different story. The teen romance element is its main pleasure.

We met our friend Julia Solomon through the comedy scene, and soon learned that not only is she a hilarious standup, she also has a wealth of knowledge on skincare and beauty products (you should all subscribe to her newsletter.) So of course, we had to bombard her with questions and pick her brain to find out how the two came together.
Beauty Dummy: You're a standup comedian who also happens to be a skincare and beauty product expert. What a combo! Do you have a background in beauty? What made you decide to start blogging and writing your newsletter?
Julia Solomon: I don't have a background in beauty, or at least I didn't used to. For a short period of time I had a job writing copy and fulfilling orders for a small organic skincare company here in New York, so I got to ask questions to someone who was formulating skincare products on the regular and that was really awesome. My mother just always washed her face and moisturized, so I did, too. And then that grew into an obsession when I had a friend who started working at the Kiehl's counter in a Nordstrom in Chicago. I started a Facebook beauty group for me and my friends this past December, which just grew and grew until I was answering different questions and recommending different products and doing research for about 200 girls. They told me I needed to be writing about it and so finally I was like "ok, you're right." And they've all been really supportive. I never thought anyone would care enough about what I had to say to read an entire article or newsletter written by me, but some people do, and that is very, very nice of them.
BD: It's always refreshing to read about beauty from someone cool and approachable who is actually honest -- not just rich Instagram models who post ads for $200 products. Coming from the comedy world, where do you look for beauty inspiration? Does comedy influence your perspective on beauty at all?
JS: I just want to say that I firmly believe I would be so much happier if I were an Instagram model. Why can't I be one??? It's so not fair. I spend JUST as much time on Instagram as they do! I have no other choice than to be completely honest in everything I say and it happens to be a blessing that some people prefer that when it comes to beauty products and skincare advice. I am constantly inspired by all of the beautiful and amazing comedians here in NYC that I get to call my friends. And even the ones that I'm not friends with, YET, like Jenny Slate, who without her knowledge of course gave me the confidence to finally get a shag haircut.
Comedy influences my approach to beauty in that I want to make sure another perspective is being provided - one from someone who can't keep her room clean, doesn't have enough money to do a spin class, doesn't take health supplements because I already take antidepressants and mood stabilizers and that's enough to deal with on its own. There is beauty and humor in your dysfunction and that's not often portrayed or encouraged. Of course you want everyone to be healthy and happy, but sometimes you're neither and you still deserve to read an article about beauty that speaks to you, and doesn't make you feel guilty about not getting enough vitamin D or other totally valid bullshit.
BD: A big part of the Beauty Dummy mission is to talk about beauty in a way that's casual, chill and accessible to everyone. Is there anything you feel is lacking in the current beauty "conversation" or want to see change?
JS: I love things that are casual and chill. First of all, I would say the way most articles are written... it's the opposite of chill. It's content in disguise as being chill and casual. But, I also read soooo much content everyday because of course I want to be *in the know*. I love reading Into The Gloss for their comments section. It doesn't get more chill or casual than that, unless it's an article about sunscreen in which bitches will go nuts and kill each other. In terms of changes I would like to see, it just sucks that the way the system works, these bloggers get these amazing and expensive products for free, write about them, make you want to buy them, and then you can't because it's a million dollars. I guess that's just an issue with capitalism. I don't want to not hear about certain beauty products just because they're out of my price range, but it makes it hard to relate to the writer. I'll imagine and create this life I think she has - the money she has, the products she can afford, the way they look in her bathroom, and then I feel like shit. But that's just the way my mind works sometimes and not everyone is like that. I wish there would be more disclaimers about how these products won't actually change your life (most of the time they don't, sometimes they do.) It's just hard not to think you're lacking in the Instagram era of beautifully photographed pictures of gorgeous bathrooms in natural light. I want people to know my room is messy, and my bathroom is disgusting because I rent in NYC. I wish that was embraced more, but not in a cute kitschy kind of way.
BD: If you had to pick the #1 absolute best piece of skincare advice that everyone should follow, what would it be? Any products we should buy RIGHT NOW?
JS: YOU HAVE TO WASH YOUR FACE AT NIGHT AND WEAR SUNSCREEN DURING THE DAY. I don't understand how people just go day after day without washing their face. It makes me feel unsafe. Like, washing my face everyday is my defense mechanism against death and they're not doing it and they seem to be fine and without any blemishes!?! I wish I could give everyone $42.00 to go by One Love Organics Vitamin B Cleansing Oil, because I would say everyone should have it. But I'm not here to make someone think they have to go buy something they can't afford! I wish we all lived like Rockefellers! I do think everyone should have that cleansing oil, though, it really is great. I think most people should be double cleansing & cleansing with an oil. That is my wish for the world, that people would realize that.
BD: So obviously everyone should subscribe to your Wonderful World of Beauty newsletter. Where else can we find you?
JS: My website - www.thejuliasolomon.com - and when I have shows I usually promote them on my Instagram - @thejuliasolomon. I also have a bachelor/bachelorette podcast titled The Untitled Chris Harrison Project on iTunes and Soundcloud. Hopefully I'll have a beauty podcast in the works soon as I am done with Bachelor Nation and have no intention of watching Bachelor in Paradise!
