Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek & Aardhaya Bachchan return from their New Year trip
The year-end holidays are a big thing in B-town. A lot of stars head to exotic destinations to ring in the New Year with their loved ones. Many celebrities ended their year with family holidays and one such family was of the Bachchans. Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya Bachchan were clicked at the Mumbai airport as they landed in Mumbai. The trio looked stylish in their outfits. Abhishek wore a pair of ripped denims that he paired up with a spotless white T-shirt and olive coloured jacket.
Aishwarya too looked fabulous in a pair of ripped jeans, a white and beige striped top and a black sweater to beat the chill. Aaradhya, on the other hand, stuck to a blush pink frock, that made her look like a doll. The Bachchans spent their New Year near a beach but the exact location of their holiday was not revealed. The couple also posted pictures from their holiday on social media, sending good wishes for the New Year for their fans and family.

The sun rested on the bright auburn hair of a fox, grooming him with peace and serenity. He was curled in a ball, snuggled in the bosom of late afternoon. I'd never seen tranquillity quite like this. Birds sang and the quiet wind blew, and there he slept, a tired fox.
I had to get a picture.
There was a fox sleeping in my garden!
I snapped one through my murky kitchen window, but I had to get a closer shot.
With my baby playing happily in the lounge, I turned the key in our back door, slow, steady. I slipped my sandals on. Leaning gently on the handle, I silently opened the door and crept outside.
I'd barely got one foot on the patio when through the gap in my baby's green slide, eyes as sharp as a thorn and as vulnerable as a rose stared right through me.
His ears pointed fiercely.
I was petrified, for myself, for him.
Not one second longer, he shot as quickly as a bullet from a hunter's gun down the garden, through the prickly bush, scraping back and forth, back and forth, and as I stood and watched in pure fascination, he clambered up the fence and bolted right over it, never to be seen again.
And all I've got to remember him by is a lousy picture through my murky kitchen window.

Gavin Turk 'Who What When Where How & Why' at Newport Street Gallery
By Vera Bertran @vera_bertran
Newport Street Gallery is showing the first major solo exhibition of work by British artist Gavin Turk since 2002.
'Who What When Where How and Why' (23rd November – 19th March 2017) spans twenty- six years of the artist's career and features over seventy works. The exhibition –
which includes new and previously unexhibited work – is on display throughout Newport Street's six gallery spaces. The gallery was recently awarded the prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize for best new building of 2016. Since emerging onto the London art scene in the early 90s, Turk has dedicated much of his career to exploring notions of authorship, identity and value. Engaging in the central modernist debate initiated by Marcel Duchamp, Turk's varied work appropriates both familiar everyday objects and instantly recognisable artworks by towering figures of twentieth- century art such as Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and Giorgio de Chirico. This survey – the first major UK exhibition of the artist's work to be presented since 2002 – features the iconic Cave, a commemorative blue plaque installation Turk exhibited in his 1991 Royal College of Art degree show. A series of 'Signature' works, in which Turk uses his own name as a form of ready-made in order to examine ideas surrounding origin and authenticity, are also included. The signature of the artist, traditionally the valued hallmark of authority and provenance, recurs throughout 'Who What When Where How and Why', emerging from the canvases of Turk's Pollock paintings; the abstract expressionist artist's paint splatters exchanged for innumerable 'Gavin Turk' signatures.

I'm still here! I haven't forgotten about my blog. But it's been, well...BUSY. We went to Canada, and came back from Canada (total of 21 hours of flying and an 8 hour time difference = not so much fun). Things have been busy at Paying Work. And I've been sewing up a storm trying to get things made for my one and only craft fair of the year, this Saturday.
I have a not so good history with craft fairs. This will be my fourth. The first one, I sold £12. The table cost me £25. The second I sold nothing - again, the table was £25. The third I sold £16, so really not too bad. But not enough so that I could quit Paying Work and start up as an independent sewing type. I swore no more craft fairs and yet when this one came along... I couldn't say no.
So wish me luck for Saturday. Photos to come after the event. And in the meantime, does anyone have any brilliant ideas of little things that can be made for Christmas presents for the lovely ladies who work at the childrens' nursery? I'm stumped.

Risk Factors and Prevention
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's probability of developing cancer. Some risk factors can be controlled, such as smoking, and some cannot be controlled, such as senility and family history. Although risk factors can influence the development of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some beings with several risk factors never develop the disease, while others with no known risk factors do. Nonetheless, knowing your risk factors and communicating with your doctor can help guide you in attaining well informed lifestyle and health-care choices.
The following factors can develop a person's danger of developing eye cancer:
Age. Most an instance of primary intraocular melanoma are available in beings over the age of 50, and the average age of diagnosis is 55. It is rare in "childrens and" beings over the age of 70.
Race. Primary intraocular melanoma is more common in white people and less common in black people.
Gender: Intraocular melanoma feigns about equal numbers of men and women.
Individual history: Beings with the following medical conditions have a higher risk of developing primary intraocular melanoma:
— Ocular or oculodermal melanocytosis( pigmentation of the eye or skin around the eye; it is also called nevus of Ota)
— Nevi, or discerns like moles in the eye
— Dysplastic nevus syndrome( a condition differentiated by multiple flat moles that are erratic in shape or hue)
Family history: Intraocular melanoma doesn't generally run in families, although a couple of rare cases have been reported.
Other: Some learns have suggested that sunlight or specific substances may be a risk factor for intraocular melanoma, but the data are not irrefutable about this association.
It is recommended that beings with a mix of these determining factor investigate an ophthalmologist for a yearly assessment and protect their eyes from ultraviolet( UV) radiation with sunglasses. Anyone who detects unexpected moles or other skin proliferations around the eye or elsewhere on their own bodies should consider a dermatologist( a doctor were engaged in skin disorder ), peculiarly if there is a family history of melanoma.

The Theology Of Henri De Lubac
Available on backorder
Hans Urs von Balthasar
Hans Urs von Balthasar prepared this overview of the theology and spirituality of Henri de Lubac, whom he calls friend and master, on the occasion of the latters's eightieth birthday. Beginning with personal reflections drawn from the then unpublished pages of "memoirs" which de Lubac placed in his hands, von Balthasar offers a review of all the major works of de Lubac.
Von Balthasar illustrates here the wonderful synthetic power for which he is justly known: bringing the range as well as the organic unity of de Lubac's work clearly into view. The main themes of that work remain as important now as when de Lubac first took them up–perhaps even more important. And there is no one better able to discuss these themes than von Balthasar, a master of theology in his own right and de Lubac's great friend for over fifty years. Co-published with Communio Books.
"Von Balthasar provides us with an astonishing summary of the massive theological output of Henri de Lubac. Perhaps it would not be an exaggeration to say that here we have one theological giant synthesizing the ecclesiocentric thought of another giant. The book offers a double benefit, for in it we get a glimpse of two great contemporary theologians–de Lubac and von Balthasar."

This iteration of a project, whether completed or not, makes me wish for a couple things: one the donation to the MPN Research Foundation. Two, I get to work my ass off looking forward to a goal; finally, I honestly hope that this project becomes some part of my legacy, that somebody continues growing it, nursing it to health, and making it good in ways that that I cannot imagine.
It's the only thing I have for my exit plan.
I don't want it grown for me. No, not for me. For Tina. For George. Two friends who have not made it. For all the others who have suffered, and are still suffering.
For all those who won't make it as long as they should.
For all those who suffer with the pain from this cancer.
With that in mind, here's a sneak peek at some customization of a Gayle Bradley Folder 2. Keep in mind the colors for myelofibrosis are red and orange. The knives will be in my grubby paws next week (that familiar Snap you will hear is me putting on the rubber gloves, get your mind out of the gutter) for extensive photo opps.

Posted on 14 September 2012, 4:17
A lovely and intriguing piece in the Guardian today by my friend Matthew Cresswell, on how Nasa imposed radio silence on Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin when he took communion shortly after the first moon landing.
Nasa was being sued at the time for the religious content of the Apollo 8 mission, when 10 verses from the first chapter of Genesis were read out on Christmas Eve while the astronauts orbited the moon, so Buzz was told to play down his private act of communion.
Aldrin's description of the moment caught my eye: 'I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully up the side of the cup.'
It reminded me of a cartoon I drew for my 1991 book of cartoons, When Clergymen Ruled the Earth, about the perils of hitting escape velocity during Pentecostal-style rave-ups on the lunar surface. Since the book's out of print (although used copies are selling for one penny on Amazon, hallelujah!) I'm posting it here in celebration.

How to Sew Jersey Fabric
Sewing jersey fabric requires a technique of its own, and it can take some practice working with the stretch of the fabric. Sewing expert Miss Libby Rose here shows us how it's done, also showing the option of using a walking machine foot that helps to gently guide the fabric without warping the stitches. Watch the video to see Libby in action!
Stretch Fabric Machine Needles »
Jersey Fabric (available in store at Hobbycraft)
Note: There are different machine needles for stretch fabric, and different sized needles are used for different weights of jersey.
Change the machine needle to a stretch needle
Use a specific thread pattern; A or B (straight stitch), or G (overlock stitch).
Change the stitch tension to S.S (stretch stitch). The + or – expands or compresses the stitch.
Begin to sew – do not pull the fabric, instead lightly guide using your hands
You can change the sewing machine foot to a walking foot, which is good to use if you use jersey often.
To put this on you'll have to lower the needle to allow the foot to rest above it.

Is it possible to hide the visual feedback on the PIN entry on the Android stock lock screen?
The feedback makes it pretty easy for anybody standing near to watch the PIN:
I know that it is possible to disable the feedback when using a pattern, and I read tips that the pattern setting would also apply to the PIN entry, but I tried that and it didn't work.
I usually use the finger print sensor to unlock the phone, but on the rare occasions when it asks for the PIN ("for security") I always wonder why anyone would design a PIN entry screen like this.
I don't know if it matters, I'm using a bq Aquaris X. The Aquaris X5 I used before that had the same behavior (with Android 7), the HTC One before that did not (IIRC .. it's been a while).

Boys, girls and everyone in between cheered when vivacious drag ball hostess DeeDee Dubois took the stage Saturday night, her pink wig shimmering in the glare of the KnightSpot disco ball.
She made it clear early on that, well, most boundaries were going to be left at the door. "If you wanna tip and shove it in [the performer's] a--, shove it in their a--," she suggested, warning that lubricant could be necessary in her own case. Over the next two hours, students in attendance took full advantage of the occasion - shirts and wigs hit the floor as professionals and amateurs alike entertained, thrilled and seduced.
Let it be clear, though, that raunchy or not, each performer brought excitement, hilarity and a gender-transcending good time to all who came out to see them.
Student performers Regina - it doesn't rhyme with Christina - and Mike Crotch kicked off the night with a performance of "Evacuate the Dance Floor." Other student performers included Haywood Jablowme, Trent Leznor & Poison Oak, Bush Administration, Tess Tickle and Andy Rogyny.
Professionals from Rochester-area night clubs made the night even more exciting; Windz, a king, showed off genuine dance talent while lip-syncing tunes like "Empire State of Mind," Samantha Vega performed a show-stopping rendition of "Telephone" complete with the choreography used by Lady Gaga herself in the epic music video, and queens Kyla Minx and Aneal Pleasures rounded out the experienced and effervescent entourage.
When the audience wasn't dancing, they were certainly laughing. "[RuPaul's Drag Race] doesn't want freaky drag queens," Dubois said, explaining his decision not to try out for the show, which featured Rochester performer Pandora Boxx this year. "They want drag queens that look like girls. I look like a man with a pink wig on."
Student performer Beardie Davis was unendingly hilarious in a skit which made explicit reference to her healthily textured yet flat chest. "I am proud to come from a long line of very hairy women," she mused. "I suspect that most of the men I've been involved with are latent homosexuals." Before leaving the stage, she offered some insightful advice about administering oral sex: "It's not about talent … it's about hunger."
Though Dubois closed the show with P!nk 's "Bad Influence," the drag ball, hosted by Pride Alliance with funding from Activities Commission and Student Association, was anything but, providing an exhilarating evening not often found in Geneseo.

Tooth marked bone
These bones I worked on quickly today show a rib fragments that have evidence of being preyed upon. These fossils have an impression of a scar left by a predatory dinosaur!
Largest Dinsoaur Tooth Marks Described
Palaeontologists in South Korea have described what they are claiming as the largest carnivorous tooth marks on the tail bone of a herbivorous dinosaur. The largest of the marks ran 17 centimetres long, 2 centimetres wide and 1.5 centimetres deep. There is also evidence that several different dinosaurs fed on the same prey item by tooth mark evidence!

Ever since their arrival, my children are s-l-o-w-l-y teaching me humility. Or maybe I'm just a slow learner, I don't know. But the lessons keep coming.
The week before Christmas, the noisy boys had a holiday sing-a-long at their preschool. They keep the whole thing fairly low-key since the kids are so jazzed up over Christmas already, but still, it's a chance to show off their friends and their school to Mom and Dad. The noisy boys get pretty excited about it.
On the day of the sing-a-long, the boys came down the stairs, dressed and ready to go—Twin A was wearing faded navy blue pull-on pants and a slightly different color blue play shirt. Twin B had his favorite hand-me-down baggy blue sweatpants (aka: cozy pants) on and a striped play shirt. I kept my expression neutral and mentioned that maybe they'd like to dress up today, since it's a special day.
"How about your new sweater vest and button up shirt outfits that you wore to church last week? The ones with the cozy corduroy pants? You both looked so handsome in those. I'll bet your teacher would like to see those nice outfits." I asked, hoping to convince at least one of them.
"No. I like this outfit." Twin A responded.
"Yeah. Me too." Agreed Twin B.
"Don't you want to wear something just a little bit fancier?" I tried again.
"But I AM fancy," exclaimed Twin B, "this is a VERY fancy shirt!"
So I gave up, and off we went to the sing-a-long. I should back up here and say that all summer long I really encouraged them to be independent (after all, we had another baby on the way). They are responsible for making their beds (however it turns out is just the way we like it), getting themselves dressed, and putting their dirty clothes in the hamper. At five, you don't get to make a ton of decisions, and I believe that unless you're on your way to a wedding, what you wear should be one of them. Fortunately, when you're five, the general public gives you plenty of fashion grace.
Anyway, back to the program. There we were, sitting in a semi-circle with the other parents, while the noisy boys proudly sang "S-A-N-T-A" to the tune of BINGO. They were cute in a ragamuffin kind of way. Meanwhile, most of their classmates were wearing Christmas sweaters and red velvet dresses, and there, right in the middle of them, were my boys in their grungy play clothes. It was a proud moment, let me tell you.
They didn't seem to mind being under dressed, and their preschool teacher had a good laugh with me. I keep assuring her that we DO own nice clothes, even though they keep showing up in the same grungy sweatpants every day. Thankfully, she's also a believer in letting kids learn by doing. At least someone is on my side! ☺

I was crackin' up the whole time I read this! Fashion for a 14-year old boy doesn't change much—except he wants YOU to have them washed and let's you know this at 10 PM the night before he needs them. (Which is pretty funny in itself!)

Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 4 6l Ford Explorer Radiator Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. 4 6l Ford Explorer Radiator Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

From Jodorowsky's Dune to a film about Tim Burton's cancelled Superman, documentaries about movies that never got made have proved a popular prospect over recent years. Sandi Tan's energetic Shirkers, ostensibly an entry in this subgenre, differs for a few reasons.
Firstly, it's directed by the helmer of the original film it concerns, which shares the same name. Secondly, it's about an independent Singapore-made film the world never got to see, rather than a Hollywood property. Finally, and most crucially, the original Shirkers was actually completed. The reason it was never released is because one strange individual involved in production stole all of the film's materials once the 1992 shoot had wrapped…

Responding to a credit downgrade by Moody's Investors Service, El Paso EP, -10.00% assured investors that its credit posture "is significantly stronger today than it was at the beginning of the year," and that its cash and liquidity position "remains strong." Earlier, Moody's cut its rating on the natural gas services company's debt to "Ba2" -- considered non-investment grade, or "junk" status -- from "Baa3." El Paso added that the downgrade would require it to post additional collateral under certain existing contractual obligations, and therefore plans to draw $1.5 billion from its $3 billion revolving credit facility. The stock is now down $1.02, or 9.6 percent, at $9.66.

In today's world, the roles of males and females have been cultivated over hundreds of years of cultural influences. The Harvey "Dickbag" Weinstein issue has brought to light some of the many fucked up dynamics associated with the way we view and represent the social roles of males and females.
"Biological vs. Sociological..."
Evolution has left males and females in their very distinct roles for propagation of our species. Regardless of your social views and perspectives, the male provides the sperm, and the female provides the egg, gestation, and birthing of our offspring. In order to reproduce future generations of our species, a specific protocol must be followed. For hundreds of thousands of years, this went on absent of any interpretation of the assignment of ulterior roles or agendas. Small groups of Homo Sapiens, linked by genetics and proximity, worked together to maintain and sustain their groups health and well-being. Anthropological finds from all over the world, have given us insight into this understanding of our species. Around 150 is the consistant population of these tribal gatherings. It's speculated by anthropologists, that this number represents the natural limit for inner personal relationships among our species. All members of these groups could maintain an intimate relationship with all other members of the group.
"Roles were assumed by biological capacity..."
Everyone provided the capacity to the group, they were best physically adapted to supply. Accept what your abilities are, and get the most of what you can provide. Life was simple, and large groups of humans hadn't amassed yet, so injustice and war as we know them, weren't a part of human life. The point is every single word thus far, are here to suggest the sexism expressed in today's world, was mostly absent up to the time period of my story. Its hard to verify, due to the lack of written language, precisely what specific gender roles were, but evidence of remains from both males and females of advanced age, suggests parity of responsibility. Responsibilities represent value in an inner dependent society.
"So...who the fuck, designed today's division of responsibility?"
Why are we wasting away in a society, that tolerates males being as shitty as they are today?
Sexism evolved with social roles associated with larger gatherings of humans resulting from the advent of agriculture. The march towards a male dominated social structure went fucking full on after the advent of religious ideology. The Inquisition Periods of Papal direction from the late 15th Century up until 1834, were an unsuccessful attempt to convert Jews and Muslims to Catholicism by accusing women of those faiths of hericy. The notion women were more likely to be witches than men...are you fucking kidding me🤡
Rule of law, democracy (with its right to vote regulations), and the proliferation of Christianity with the technological adaptation of the great naval development of the period, allowed for the deterioration of the female roles in social context. It wasn't a master plan, but it wasn't planned out either. So much time had passed since we recognized the female importance, we forgot to even recognize its role. Social overcame the acknowledgment of biological. Science was young, and the full discovery didn't happen until the later portion of the twentieth century. Today, it's an abomination to even suggest there's an ounce of acceptance to any legitimacy.
"We are beyond any debate...equality is the standard, we all must measure ourselves by"
The discussion of equality begins and ends with, what are we as individuals doing to keep it front and center. It's not resolved until it's not able to be identified. The fact I'm compelled to write this confirms the need to do more. #sexism

Quote of the Day
Do I need to say more?
I loved being back home.
I loved seeing the people I saw, and eating and drinking the things I ate and drank.
I loved playing, singing, dancing, laughing, walking, thinking, dreaming, and reminiscing.
Home was fabulous and yet boring, but that's the constant love-hate relationship I have with it.
I am now home too.
It's a different home, one that allows me to be me.
One that allows me to stay true to myself and enjoy sunny weather.
Glad to be back, and of course, I'm missing my other home already.
I think this feeling never fades.

You do realize corn chowder is not a Mexican soup, don't you? Perhaps a variation on it would be if it was prefaced with MEXICAN-style Corn Chowder, but at it's core, it's roots are not Mexican but Old American, specifically, New England. The oldest recipe I have come across is by Mary Lincoln, founder of the famous Boston Cooking School.

"When the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them. "Do not worship any other gods or bow to them, serve them, or sacrifice to them. But the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt with might power and outstretched arm is the one you must worship. To Him you shall bow down and to Him offer sacrifices. You must always be careful to keep the decrees and ordinances, the laws and commands he wrote for you, and do not worship other gods. Rather worship the Lord your God; it is He who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies." ~ 2nd Kings 17:35-39
It continues with "They would not listen, however, but persisted in their former practices. Even while these people were worshiping the Lord, they were serving their idols. To this day, the children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did."
It's a Monday. Church was awesome as always. Worship was great and heartfelt. Now, I'm facing the day after. The hardship of my schedule. The problems I face at work. The worries that hover over my upcoming week. The distractions that I selfishly seek to instantly gratify my own desires. It all makes me forget the single-mindedness of the worship I had on Sunday.
Every day, we bow down to something. Everyday, we sacrifice to something. We choose the object of our worship. I want to choose God as the recipient of my worship. It's never "I've got this all figured out and always make God my sole object of my affection." It's more like "God, I choose you. Help me to remain in You." And it's a daily decision for me. I read the above scripture and wonder how much to I turn to idols on a regular basis. I want to be aware of these things. I want to be constantly in remembrance of what He brought me out of. I don't want to be listless to His wonder. I wish I could say that I do this easily. I don't. It is a fight many days. However, it is a fight I choose daily to look past my pride, worries, fears, and selfish desires and focus on my God.
Worshiping God involves a focused and relentless pursuit to loosen the idols in our lives so that we do not mix with worship of our God. Our worship must be a focused remembrance of all that He has done and will do. It must be single-minded and not divided. God shouldn't have to share our devotion with other things.
May we let go, God, the idols. Please bring them to our attention and help us to let them go. Help us to not worship you, then turn around and worship something else. Please give us wisdom and discernment concerning this. May our worship distinguish us from all others.

Three area bird enthusiasts share their tips for beginners.
Three area bird enthusiasts share their tips for beginners.
-- "I like using feeders on a pole," says Springfield resident JoAnn Wehrle, who has been feeding cardinals, snowbirds, chickadees, Carolina wrens, downy woodpeckers, red-bellied woodpeckers and more with sunflower seeds, millet, peanuts and suet for about 15 years. Pole feeders, she says, keep the seed off the ground and dry in winter, and, when covered with a dome in summer, keep the rain out as well. She also uses a cover over her finch feeders. Her favorite birds? "I love the titmice. They're so cute with their little topknot."
-- "Location, location, location" says Judy Williams, who started bird feeding last summer from her home in Jacksonville. "Where you put the feeders has everything to do with who comes to the feeders," she says, recalling her early attempt to hang feeders within reach of her back door for easy feeding in extreme weather. But only the sparrows were brave enough to come up to the house, she says. Once she moved her feeders to a tree away from the house, but still within site of her favorite viewing windows, wrens, juncos, mourning doves and others joined in as well. Her favorite birds? "Juncos. They're just the cutest things in the world." And about the time the juncos leave, Williams adds, the hummingbirds will be back.
-- "To get started," says John Staff of Springfield, who has been feeding year-round for 15 years or more, "put the first feeder out." It's that simple. After that, he adds, "Don't buy food for the price point", or, in other words, "cheap seed. If you don't want a lot of waste and weeds building up under the feeders, be more specific in the (content of the) food you buy."
Staff also recommends keeping a bird bath filled with clean water, heated in winter, to attract the birds year round. And Staff relies on local professionals such as the Wild Birds Unlimited staff, and the local Audubon chapter, for such information as seed choice, when to hang the hummingbird feeders, and more.
"Get a professional to tell you what you need," says Staff, whose favorite feeder is a Christmas wreath-style feeder filled with whole peanuts in the shell, and whose favorite birds are cardinals and bluejays. "In the winter, when there is no tree cover, the bright red cardinal males, and the bright blue jays are just gorgeous."

Dave is all about the quantified self movement. He sleeps with a Zeo, tracks his movement with a pedometer, and has a subscription to 23andMe. He recently left his day job and is now self-employed. But because of a pre-existing health condition, he hasn't been able to get affordable insurance. Since he has to pay for services out of pocket, he wants the most bang for his buck. He'd heard about WellnessFX, thought it could be a good value, and decided to check it out.
Here was his experience:
- Finding a lab nearby Dave was super easy. He was in and out in 15 minutes, including the time it took to fill out necessary paperwork.
- Dave went in for his blood test on a Tuesday. He had his results by Friday.
Dave hasn't had his consult yet, but he was able to log-in the WellnessFX site to view all of his results and easily see which areas would need addressing.
- Dave's triglycerides are high. He's known this from previous tests, but has since been taking Omega-3 supplements and is eager to talk with a WellnessFX practitioner to see what other piece of the puzzle is missing.
- For the deeper level cholesterol diagnostics included in WellnessFX Baseline (vLDL-C, LP(a), and Apo B), Dave's Apo B reading is a little concerning.
- Despite having a sweet tooth, Dave's metabolic biomarkers turned out just fine.
- Dave's kidney markers look mostly fine. In fact, all of the biomarkers here are within 'normal' ranges, but a couple (creatinine and BUN) are right at the border. WellnessFX is about not settling for anything less than ideal. So, of course, Dave looks forward to discussing with his WellnessFX practitioner on how to improve.
- Like many Americans, Dave's Vitamin D is quite low. Enough so, in fact, that his results display suggests he already start on Vitamin D supplementation.
Dave has grappled with OCD and Depression in the past and wants to make sure he has a consult specifically tailored to his needs. After looking over the variety of WellnessFX practitioners, Dave decided on a physician with expertise in mental health. Now that he's had a chance to review his results, research the biomarkers, and pull together some vital questions, he's ready to work with an expert to plan next steps.
In my opinion, this is the future of medicine. "But Dave, how can you spend $199 when there isn't anything wrong with you?" Well, first off, I have plenty of health problems, so there is plenty wrong with me. But, lets say I was healthy, I still think this would be a good investment. It takes very little time and empowers the individual to take care of their own health.

2016: The Long Awaited Comeback/
2016 is a few weeks old, and I've managed to codify my goals for the year. 2015 was all about getting back off the couch, ditching the self pity, and taking control of my life. I had to build back from scratch to create a fitness baseline. Now that 2016 is underway, I'm ready to get specific with triathlon training.
In broad terms, for racing I want to start off with a Sprint, then build towards an Oly at the end of the season. I'll sprinkle in a few running races both at the beginning and end of the season.
Healthy Strides Community 5k - 4/23/2016
Reston Sprint Triathlon - 6/5/2016 [registered!]
PRR Birthday Bash 5k - 7/24/2016
Reston Oly Triathlon - 9/11/2016
Late Fall Running Race - TBD
Getting sport specific, I want to swim more and swim faster. I need to get onto the road bike and learn to handle it properly. Running will be built up very slowly to avoid injury, and I want to consistently track HR. I've dialed in those broad goals with specific milestones.
Swim 325,000 yards this year
Average sub 2:00/100yd in races
Get a 1:35/100yd set in a workout
Build up to 3000 yard workouts
Log 300 miles on Peggy the City Bike
Log 500 outdoor miles on Sadly Unnamed Road Bike
Road Bike skills - one handed, drinking from water bottle, easy mounting/dismounting
Run 385 miles this year
Track HR for all workouts
Build up to 7 mile long run
Writing out goals and plans for the year is exciting, isn't it? I'm a bit concerned after watching this TED talk from Derek Sivers that perhaps revealing my goals in this much depth will hinder me. But then again, I felt that keeping them vague wasn't really benefiting me, either. I need to know how many miles I have to go before I sleep. Time will tell if blogging about goals works much the same, psychologically speaking, as speaking about them. For now, I head into 2016 with strong conviction, concrete goals, and a game plan to get me there.

Avenatti Dossier
The newest document from Michael Avenatti is fascinating reading. I don't know how he got this information or how accurate it all is, but at least two of payors are confirmed. ATT admits it paid Cohen and Novartis does too, but in a sneaky way, throwing their former CEO under the bus by saying that "any contracts were done prior to (chief executive officer Vasant Narasimhan) taking over." This suggests that the rest of the information may be true. If so, Cohen misled the bank about the purpose of the account he created and a lot of money went into it for the same company that paid Stormy Daniels. A large amount came from a company linked to a Russian oligarch, and, the payments into Cohen increased after Trump became president. The only question now is how much went from his account to the benefit of the new President?

tomato tomahto/
With Summer finally here and the farmers markets in full bloom, we are feeling particularly inspired but one veggie (or fruit if you choose to believe). Yes, we're smitten by the tomato. It's in season and cheers us up whether in its raw form, adding color to a dish, combined in a sauce, or taking its place on the brunch drink list. And as such an accessible veggie, it's easy to forget how fantastic it is FOR us. With glowing skin especially in season, the tomato acts modest when it comes to its benefits. Besides its commonly known heart and bone benefits, the tomato can rosy those cheeks in more ways than one. It contains the carotene lycopene, one of the most powerful antioxidants out there. Lycopene was been proven to improve the skins ability to protect against harmful UV rays, acting as a sunscreen from the inside out. It's also high in vitamins A, C, and K so the tomato combats signs of aging, reduces free radicals (maintaining support of skin and hair), and promotes retaining moisture in the body. I discovered one of my favorite tomato friendly recipes at a yoga school in New York. Tavo Toast, as it's called, is your choice of bread (Holeman & Finch anyone?), sliced avocado, tomato, flax seed oil, vegan butter, salt, and pepper. Simple? Certainly. But it's the perfect treat on a hot summer day. So take a visit to the farmers market this week, pick up some tomatoes, and put them to work!

A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projector refers to the internal mechanisms used by the projector to compose the image. LCD technology is often times a less expensive option, that is generally more 'light efficient' than a Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector. LCD projectors offer beautiful clear and bright images even in well lit rooms. LCD projectors tend to produce a sharper, more precisely focused image, which can be a disadvantage for video display(the image may appear pixellated).
For educational purposes, LCD projectors are a great choice. They are more affordable than DLP projectors, and work well to display text. LCD projectors may also be appropriate for most business presentations where text and images are being presented. However, for companies dependent on heavy video usage, it may be wise to invest in a DLP projector.
Camcor's experienced staff are very knowledgeable about all types of digital projectors, including multimedia and DLP projectors. They will be glad to help you with your LCD projectors needs

Choosing a Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is typically the focus of your reception. It is so important; it is given its own table complete with decorations. It is one of the most common traditions for weddings no matter what the religion. Everybody will be looking at the wedding cake, which means you have a lot of decisions to make to make sure your wedding cake is absolutely perfect for your wedding.
1. Start shopping for your wedding cake at least 9 months in advance of your wedding date. This gives you a couple of months to check out various bakers. You will want to order the cake at least 6 months in advance. Ask friends, co-workers and family members for recommendations. Do a Google check on each potential wedding cake maker to see what others have to say. Before you walk into a bakery, you need to have a budget in mind. This will help you determine just what you can afford in terms of size and embellishments.
2. The design of your cake should coincide with the formality of your wedding. If you are having an evening wedding that is very formal, a traditional cake with several tiers is warranted. A casual wedding wouldn't require something quite as fancy. A double-tiered cake is adequate. Talk with a baker about what you are looking for. Some bakers will not bother with unconventional cakes and others will not be able to make large, multi-tiered cakes.
3. Sample cakes before making a final decision. While looks are important, you want your guests to enjoy the cake they are eating. White cake is fairly standard, but you will have the option to add flavored fillings that help add a little extra something to a plain white cake. Various frostings are also an option.
4. Once you have chosen a cake, get everything in writing. If your cake will have 100 roses made of icing on it, make sure it is included. You want all the details in writing so you can verify with the baker your cake is being made to your specifics in the days before your wedding. These are some things you will want to make sure are addressed.
Cake flavor
Number of tiers
Cake toppers
Roses and other special embellishments
5. Make sure your contract includes delivery details. The baker should arrive to the reception two to three hours prior to the reception starting. A table will need to be in place for the baker to put the cake together. This is typically when touch-ups to the frosting are made in order to present the perfect wedding cake.
A few extra tips to consider when picking your wedding cake are as follows;
If you want to save money, but want a large cake, opt for buttercream frosting instead of fondant.
Limit the icing roses, which are labor intensive and will cost more and go for embellishments that are premade and added to the cake
Supply your own cake topper
Choose fresh fruit as decoration for your cake for a cost-friendly, yet unique and pretty option Consider buying a smaller cake for the centerpiece with sheet cakes to serve to guests
Roses and other special embellishments
Spend some time choosing the right cake and you will do fine. You want a cake that reflects the personality and theme of the wedding. After all, it will be in several pictures and you want it to be a reflection of the day.

Rands and Sense
Martin Hammond
In South Africa, several types of savings vehicles exist to provide individual investors with access to financial markets, subject to those savings wrappers' specific restrictions. In this article we examine the benefit of including listed property in a tax-free savings account (TFSA) over other asset classes given the current market environment.
Listed property, or real estate investment trusts (Reits) typically, and especially in the last decade in South Africa, trades at quite attractive dividend yields compared to ordinary listed shares.
The reason for this is that a Reit is generally exempt from tax on its earnings, as long as the earnings are paid out as dividends. The listed property dividends received by an individual will then be taxed at the full marginal tax rate of that individual. Given a specified amount of pre-tax income generated in a Reit and ordinary company, the post-tax amount received by an investor is (almost) the same. This is illustrated in Table A.
A TFSA allows an investor to earn the full property dividend and not pay any tax. If an investor holds either listed property or listed ordinary shares in a TFSA, the amount of tax saved is shown in Table B. These are significant savings for an investor to hold property shares in a TFSA compared to ordinary shares.
Looking through the recent price volatility in some of the listed property shares, we find that most companies published financial results that were broadly in line with market expectations. The de-rating in the property index seems to be because of speculative fears stemming from the Resilient stable of companies and not from a deterioration in general property company fundamentals.
Additionally, most property counters show positive dividend per share growth over the past year. This robust growth in dividends, coupled with the de-rating of the property index, has led to good yields available in property shares.
The average forward yield spread on property relative to bonds has historically averaged around 2.00% and at its peak was wider than 4.00%. This spread has narrowed to approximately 0.45% as of the end of March 2018. This means that by investing in property shares at the current valuations, one can attain yields similar to the All Bond Index (Albi) but with the potential for higher capital appreciation associated with property.
Relative to equities, the yield spread has widened to approximately 5.00% as of the end of March 2018, compared to the historic average spread of around 3.35%. The yield on property, relative to bonds and equities, is currently as attractive as it has ever been within the recent five-year period.
Generally, an investor would aim to diversify their holdings across asset classes and thus minimise any specific risks to the portfolio. If an investor believes that a 10% allocation to property in his voluntary savings portfolio is appropriate, accessing property via a TFSA allows him to make voluntary savings of R330 000 per annum before the benefit explained above is depleted (by contributing R33 000 to the TFSA). That should cater for a sizable portion of the voluntary savers.
Second, an investor who has for the past few years contributed to a TFSA may consider switching their holding into a property unit trust within the TFSA to take advantage of its tax benefits, while holding equity or income assets elsewhere.
Property shares offer good value relative to their history and to bonds. Holding property shares in a TFSA allows for the maximum benefit from potential distributions and allows for sufficient annual contributions to form a good part of voluntary savings balanced portfolio.

Monday – Matthew 1-2
Since we just read through the OT story, this will be one of the few times I'll ever ask you to read a genealogy. Take a moment to look at the names and see what stories pop into your mind. Tamar (a Canaanite in Gen 38) tricked her father-in-law into impregnating her. Rahab (an Amorite in Joshua 2, 3, and 6) was a prostitute from Jericho. Ruth (a Moabite with her own book) allegedly seduced Boaz on the threshing floor. Bathsheba (a Canaanite wife of Uriah the Hittite) is not actually named but is also highlighted in Jesus' Genealogy. Using "Uriah's Wife" instead of Bathsheba reminds the readers of how bad that story was.
- Why does Matthew write the genealogy the way he does? What might he be trying to communicate with these women? With these four women in mind, how do you read Mary's story differently (What might Matthew be drawing your attention to)?
- Why is it important today that we recognize that Matthew highlights these women in the genealogy of Jesus?
- Moving on to the rest of today's reading – Where all do you see Moses imagery?
- Think about these two chapters together as a whole – Women in the Genealogy, the name Immanuel, the visitation of the Magi, and the Moses imagery – What kind of Moses is Jesus going to be? Who is he going to bring out of slavery? What does that slavery look like?
Tuesday – Matthew 3-4
As you read this section, continue to look for Israel's story and Moses connections. Pay attention to location and movements of the reading. How do they all tie together?
- John could have gone anywhere to baptize and bring people to repentance, why does he choose the Jordan river? What narrative is he communicating to his fellow Jews?
- If you're a first century Jew, how do you read the imagery of Jesus receiving John's baptism in the Jordan river?
- Jesus passes through the Jordan and into the wilderness for how many days? What does this number represent for Moses on Sinai? For Israel in the Wilderness?
- Exodus 19, God makes his covenant with the people at Sinai. They enter the wilderness to learn dependence on God (something we've struggled with from the beginning). Satan meets Jesus in the wilderness and challenges the core of his identity. What question does he continually ask him?
- What three things does Jesus have to combat Satan in the wilderness that you also have?
- At your baptism, God looks at you and says, "You are my Child, whom I love; with whom I am well pleased." Your core identity comes from your baptism. You are Child of God. Where do you see Satan attacking that identity in your life? You have the same three things Jesus had in the wilderness: prayer (he spent 40 days praying before being tempted), scripture (he knew God through knowing scripture), and you have the Holy Spirit (the core of your identity as a Son or Daughter).
Wednesday – Matthew 5-7
There are so many things to talk about in the Sermon on the Mount but I'll try to stay focused. Think about all of the Moses imagery up to this point, what imagery is Matthew pointing to with Jesus going "up on a mountainside" to begin preaching about the Law? Jesus embodies Moses here and basically says, "This is what it looks like to be God's people." Jesus has not tossed the Law, giving us "free grace" so that we can simply do whatever we want. God's grace has always been free but we are called to a covenant with God and we have to ask ourselves how seriously we need to take Jesus when we read the Sermon on the Mount. I've often found it sobering to read Matt 7:24-29 first and then reading the entire Sermon on the Mount. Jesus presents what it looks like to live in God's Kingdom and His Kingdom is an "Upside-down Kingdom." He doesn't call us to be better than the world. He calls us to be different.
- How would the world be different if Christians took Jesus seriously in his Sermon on the Mount? How would Israel's story been different if they had kept God's covenant?
- Which of Jesus' teachings is the hardest for you? Spend time in prayer about that teaching, asking for transformation.
- Take time to meditate on each section of Jesus' sermon and simply ask God what you need to hear in each teaching. Do this over the next month.
Thursday – Matthew 11-13
Moses struggled with God's people in the wilderness. It seems like every other page they were questioning whether they should follow him or not. Read 11-12 with this in mind and then read ch 13 as a commentary on the stories you just read in 11-12.
- Who responds to Jesus positively?
- Who responds to Jesus negatively?
- Who are more neutral responses, neither fully positive nor fully negative?
- How are these parables (ch 13) read differently when placed in the context of people's responses to Jesus?
- What challenges you the most about these parables? Take a moment to pray for God to transform you through these teachings.
Friday – Matthew 14:13-21; 15:21-39; 16:5-17:23; 20:1-19
I cut down the reading into shorter sections to try and point to the main things I want you to focus on this week. If you are willing to take more time, read this entire section and see how the stories fit together to provide the larger context.
- In the first two readings (ch 14-15), Jesus feeds two large groups of people. Notice the imagery of Moses feeding Israel. What is different between the two groups? Is it a bit bizarre to you that the disciples don't know how they are going to be able to feed everyone? The group in front of them are not Jews. Maybe they do not think God's power can bless Gentiles? Maybe they just didn't want to bless Gentiles?
- Matthew has pointed to Jesus' interactions with the Gentiles throughout his gospel account to make it clear that "God with us" means ALL of us. Who are people you struggle with that make up your "Gentiles"?
- In the next section of reading (ch 16-17), Jesus questions the disciples about who people are saying that he is. Peter gets the title correct but his understanding is wrong. Peter, much like the Pharisees, was thinking the Messiah would come as victorious warrior to defeat the pagan rulers. Their thinking is based out of Psalm 2 and Daniel 2. Jesus interpreted his role through that lens but also through the lens of Isaiah 53 (the Suffering Servant). There are a lot of depictions of Jesus in our world. How do you know you have a proper view of who Jesus is? How do you decipher whether someone's presentation of Jesus is correct or not? I tend to be cautious of any "feel good" preaching where Jesus is simply calling you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. This is fairly common in preachers who preach health and wealth. Make sure you know Jesus well!
- The first century Jews reading Matthew's gospel account would have had Moses heavily on their mind. How might the Transfiguration be read through their eyes? How does this story parallel with Moses on Sinai in Exodus 19?
- What does the story of the workers in the vineyard tell you about God's love?

This storyline has proven the significant role of effective and accurate news reporting to the economy. A fake news of a fatal car crash involving a businessman circulated online has affect the Ethereum's market value.
According to a fake news, founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin was involved in a fatal car accident and resulted to his death.
"Vitalik Buterin confirmed dead. Insiders unloading ETH" read the title of the post on 4Chan, the notorious online message board frequented by internet trolls.
"ETH" refers to ethereum, the world's second most valuable cryptocurrency, which was invented by a 21-year-old, Vitalik Buterin, in 2015.
The currency's price has risen by 50 times this year so far, and many market watchers have wondered when the gains would stop.
The price was already in the midst of a sudden decline yesterday that saw about $4 billion wiped off its total market value, and according to the post, Buterin's untimely death explained it and heralded a crash.
But proving the news a bogus and fake, he took to Twitter to prove that all was well, but how to supply evidence that he was indeed behind the Twitter account?
In the cryptocurrency equivalent of posing with the day's newspaper, he scrawled out some data linked to the latest block (you can see that data for yourself here) mined on the ethereum blockchain on a piece of paper and took a selfie with it.
Due to the hoax report, Ethereum's slide seemed to hit a bottom, recovering about 10%. Despite yesterday's steep sell-off, it's still trading 39 times higher than it was at the start of the year.
The incident shows what market manipulation looks like in the age of cryptocurrencies and fake news.
The hoax did reveal something interesting about cryptocurrencies: Unlike bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, an almost mythical figure whose identity remains unknown, Buterin is the de facto public face of ethereum.
Buterin doesn't control the network—it's a piece of decentralised software that anyone can run or build on, just like bitcoin—but his status as its creator means that rumors like this one have a higher chance of taking hold in the markets.
That means that $26 billion in market value partly depends on a 23-year-old staying healthy and alive—and providing selfies to prove it.

Maharey marks 10th anniversary of Career Services
18 July 2000 Media Statement
Maharey marks 10th anniversary of Career Services
Associate Education (Tertiary Education) Minister Steve Maharey today celebrated the 10th anniversary of Career Services with staff from around New Zealand attending a training session at the Central Institute of Technology.
Mr Maharey said the importance of effective careers information, advice and guidance is recognised by the new Government and is a key element in its skills strategy. Quality career decision making is central to the development of a productive labour market.
"Skill levels in our society are low by world standards. It is essential that we properly equip New Zealanders to succeed in today's global economy.
"Career Services staff provide comprehensive advice and guidance services which assist New Zealanders to make good study and career choices. The organisation also makes a significant contribution to the work of other career professionals through its work providing training in career industry standards.
"Our ambition for Career Services is that it continues to develop to the point where it is acknowledged within New Zealand, and internationally, as being amongst the best careers organisations in the world.
"Making this ambition a reality will require active support from the Government and we have made a creditable start. New funding provided in the Budget will provide careers information to teachers and parents, keep the KiwiCareers website up to date, and permanently fund the 0800 CareerPoint information line which has been particularly well used by people living in rural communities.
"In addition, Cabinet is to shortly consider a series of initiatives to improve the effectiveness of careers advice to Mäori and Pacific peoples.
"Careers education, and Career Services, can look forward a positive future under this Government," Steve Maharey said.

All good things are three, they say. Three Stooges, three's a crowd, three sheets in the wind, three stripes … you name it. So it's about time for our third feature on Hawkwood Mercantile. And unless the man behind the brand, Mr. Richard Illingworth, stops putting out clobber that makes every cloth-lovers jaw hit the ground immediately, there's probably a lot more to come. Right now, the man has given us another lookbook featuring his creations for Autumn/Winter 2016/17.
And as you might have guessed, it has got plenty of well-designed jackets, shirts and trousers. Full placket, half placket, smock, parka, olive, blue or orange … literally everything you want, it's there. And it has pockets. Plenty of 'em. Some of them are detachable. I mean just take a look at that new "section" jacket – it even has a pocket on the collar. Even if you have no practical use for that particular one it's a tip to the hat for that brilliant idea. It just had to be done, eh?
Looking at the collection, certainly you still have the soon-to-be-classics like the utility pocket shirt, the Tryfan anorak and the Groundcrew pants. But the Hawkwood Mercantile range now gets a bit more diverse with items like the mid-length Squadron parka, the Rigger shirt or the very appealing P-44 jacket… Damn, I could just name every single item from the lookbook. They are masterpieces. And you should do yourself or your beloved ones a favor and grab one or two. They're worth every penny – and worth the wait, as the whole collection is made to order from New Delhi and each piece is individually cut and sewn.
Enough talking, now for some more pictures.
