Are you wondering why your Fly Predators haven't hatched yet and want to know how to help them hatch quicker? Jess our Fly Predator Scientist has the answers...
Why Fly Predator Hatch Times Vary
The species that comprise Fly Predators have a life cycle that is very dependent on overall average temperatures. At ideal conditions (around 85°F) it takes a minimum of 2 weeks for the Fly Predator to develop from egg to adult. At much cooler temperatures, they can take 6 weeks or more to hatch.
Generally, we try to send out Fly Predators that have already been incubated for about a week, so that in the warm summer months, they will begin hatching within 5 days of arrival. However, temperatures during travel and temperatures where they are being kept can have large impacts on how quickly Fly Predators hatch. During the first shipment of the season, it's not unusual for your Fly Predators to take 10 to 14 days after arrival to emerge. It's much faster than that during the heat of August.
How Do I Help My Fly Predators Hatch Quicker?
If your weather is warm and you want to make sure your Fly Predators hatch as quickly as possible, keep them at a consistently warm temperature once you receive them. Don't put them in direct sun as this can make them too hot while in the bag. On top of a refrigerator is a cozy place, but write a note so you don't forget them.
If your weather is cooler than normal, particularly if you have a chance of freezing night time temperatures, you will want to slow down the hatching of your Fly Predators. If they traveled through cool temperatures on their way to you (which often happens in the early spring and late fall), even once kept consistently warm, it may take 2 weeks or more for your Fly Predators to hatch. If kept outside once they arrive, and night time temperatures are still falling down into the 50's, this could also result in delayed hatching, even if daytime temperatures are getting into the 70's or higher. You can match the speed of emergence to match your weather, which is also how quickly your pest flies will be emerging.
Bottom line: don't worry if your Fly Predators don't hatch right away in the spring and fall. Try to keep them in a consistently warm location, such as on top of a refrigerator or other electrical appliance that generates a little heat (just don't cook them).
As much as we don't like to admit it, flies are a vital part of the ecosystem helping to break down natural waste materials. An over-abundance of flies, however, becomes an utterly annoying nuance not only to us humans but likewise our animal companions around us. Walk into many stables spring through summer and you'll hear that dim buzz which reaches its peak as you walk in to an individual stall. In the heavily marketed world of horses we're spoon fed how we can do this or that to get relief from flies. I've been a horse girl my entire life, started freelance writing in 1995 and working specifically in equestrian publishing in 2007 so I've been around a significant amount of flies and tried a plethora of "cure all" fly fixes. To let you down, there's not a single thing that can 100% rid your stable of flies. Nope. For me, fly control is a partnership of resources; proper manure management, odor control, and eco-conscious products. I've personally used all these products and, other than working with the awesome folks at Spalding Labs, have no other commercial relationships with any them so this is not a paid endorsement.
STALL CLEANINGThe management of manure waste is a multi-part process. With sustainability and earth-friendly concepts in mind, I look to the 1st R – reduce. By using a pelleted bedding, I'm able to significantly reduce the amount of bedding used. Find a pelleted bedding that is 100% kiln-dried pine which will clump urine spots. Unlike shavings which are removed in droves with stall cleaning, a quality pelleted bedding sifts easily.
Keeping stable organization as clutter free as possible, I've used the same a multi-purposed cart for muck buckets, hay, bedding transport, water bucket refills, landscape, lawn care, and generally moving farm and home items about the property since 2010! I've also been using the same Shake'n Fork® and Flex'n Fork® since 2014. Have you ever heard the phrase, "I'm gonna come unglued like a Walmart coffee table?" Rather than buying cheap today for it to only break a month later, I believe in buying the best one can afford, once. The Shake'n Fork sifting action saves me time cleaning the stall, saves my arms from repeat actions with its push button mechanical sifting so I can save my hands for dressage training and writing. The Flex'n Fork fine tined version allows me to pick the small bits of manure and the miniature horses stall easily.
ODOR CONTROLFlies have a massive sense of smell and flock to the smells of urine and manure. Finishing off the stall cleaning process, I spray Bye Bye Odor® where the urine spot was on the stall mat. It's not an odor cover up but rather the microbes in Bye Bye Odor eliminate odor all together. We all know how abrasive the smell of ammonia is and unkept it hovers over the first 6 inches of your stall. Lean down and take a whiff near your stall floor... you know, that area where you horse lays or typically eats their hay to realize what they breath to realize how much good adding Bye Bye Odor to your management program will be for your horse's overall health and well-being.
MANURE MANAGEMENTAll the manure and urine goes to the pile. If you live in a dry area and are lucky enough to have a spreader well congrats as this is wonderful manure management tool too. Remember to run your spreader at least every 7 days so as to beat any flies that might try reproducing in it. If you live in a wet area, it's best to pile your manure since flies can only breed in the first few inches of a pile whereas further in is simply too hot for breeding. Regularly turn your piles to help it compost faster. I use Fly Predators® to discontinue the production of adult flies. Unlike traps or baits, Fly Predators kill the flies before they even hatch thereby fixing the problem before it occurs! There are other fly parasite brands but the most advertised ones are not the same as Fly Predators and all 8 scientific studies shows they are not effective for large animals. Stick with brand recognition with this one. Those other brands won't work.
ADULT FLIESMy neighbors behind me are not as fastidious with fly control but I have a fix for that. I have a super 6 foot tall privacy fence running the back length of the property which I hang house fly odor traps on the neighbor side of my fence. The key with odor traps is to make sure they are away from your pastures and stables as they are design to attract flies. To go a little further, I sprinkle little of my monthly Fly Predators shipment on my neighbors side of the fence where their horses normally manure. Fly Predators can travel up to 150 feet in their lifetime so they can reach those unpicked manure piles. My 2 neighbors on the other side of my property both use Fly Predators as well and this helps tremendously! To help with biting stable flies, I use the biting stable fly trap placed just outside my pasture in the sun set down at horse leg height on a wood dowel.
After all this, there will be nary a fly. Again with the brand recognition, there are cheaper products out there but, they too, come apart like Walmart coffee tables. I use Bye Bye Insects Fly & Mosquito Spray. It's extremely humid in North Carolina but training and turning out in the sport of dressage is a must! I turnout in a Kool Coat white sheet with hood in the summer for the purpose of sun reflection in the low heat of early morning and late evening.
All of this sounds like tremendous amount of work, no? When I was at my North Carolina farm there's a small garden, mini-orchard, 3 horses, 6 chickens, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a human with the production of rabbits and goats in the works AND I work full-time in writing and publishing. Therefore, it's all about efficiency to run such an operation solo and making wise purchasing decisions when the end goal is sustainability. I can clean the 2 horse stable, prep feed & hay for the next 24 hours, refill waters, manage manure, and water newly planted fruit trees in under 25 minutes leaving me a good half hour lunch break allowing my mind to wander thinking about the next writing or development project before getting back to work.
I hope you find one, two or perhaps all of these options helpful to implement to your routine! Cheers!

Before 1944 my equine experience was limited to horses. This included draft horses, Morgans, and other breeds. Then, as a senior in high school I was told that the National Ski Patrol was accepting volunteers from high school seniors for the Tenth Mountain Division, part of the U.S. Army. It trained in the Colorado Rockies. I applied because I knew that after high school, at 18 years of age, I would promptly be induction into the armed forces that were fighting in World War II.
The Tenth Mountain Division appealed to me because I loved horses and, although the Cavalry was now entirely motorized, mule packing was a major part of the 10th Division training, and mules were half horse. Moreover, skiing was an essential part of the training regimen, and because I wanted to learn to ski, as well as being a mountain lover, I acquired the necessary letter of recommendation from my Scoutmaster and former horse owning employers.
The National Ski Patrol sent me a letter stating that, following infantry basic training, I would be transferred to the Tenth Mountain Division Training Center in Camp Hale, Colorado.
I excitedly looked forward to the mules, the skiing and Colorado.
My mother, however, was dismayed. She had learned that the Tenth Division, fighting in Italy, had suffered the highest casualty rate of any U.S. Army Division in the war.
I comforted her by telling her that my transfer to the Tenth Division meant months of additional training before I was sent into combat.
As it turned out, the atomic bomb ended the war abruptly and I never got to serve in the Tenth. Instead I was shipped to Germany and spent a year in the post-war occupation, ending up as a 19-year-old criminal and denazification non-commissioned officer. No mules! No skiing! (But I did learn to ski on a furlough in the Bavarian Alps.)
Anyway, that was followed by eight years of college which included a lot of horse courses and patients, and summer jobs with horses like packing for the U.S. Forest Service (no mules), wrangling on ranches, cowboying. Even during the school years my equine jobs included working at the racetrack, working for a veterinarian, but… no mules.
Finally, in 1956, just short of 30 years of age, I became a practicing veterinarian. I can only remember one mule as a patient during my first two years of practice.
Then, after a few more years, we attended Bishop Mule Days in Bishop, California. The small, historic mountain town located along Highway 395 which runs along the Eastern border of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It calls itself "The Mule Capital of the World", is headquarters for several packing outfitters, which serve both government and private projects, but mainly vacationers.
The Mule Show is a combination of a race meet, a rodeo, a gymnkhana, both an English and a Western Horse Show, a county fair and a circus.
The versatility of the hybrid beasts intrigued me. I became not only a regular attendee at Bishop Mule Days, but I decided to become a mule owner.
After adopting one mule and purchasing another I decided that the only way I could obtain the behavior I cherished in horses was to raise my own mules and handle them from birth onward.
We raised one or two foals a year on our small ranch, keeping some and selling others.
So, in 1980 we bred two good Quarter Horse mares to a Jack I had never seen. But, I had seen his offspring at Bishop Mule Days and was sure he would produce the kind of mules I wanted.
He did! Jordass Jean (my wife names them) was born first. She was the easiest equine to start that I ever experienced, before or since. "Jeanie" became famous, competing at Mule Days, winning the Hall of Fame. She excelled at English events, never refusing a jump in her life, and never – ever – showed hostility to a human. She did make pack trips, cattle roundups, and is the only mule in history to be invited to participate in the Olympics (Los Angeles, 1984, Santa Anita Racetrack, Equestrian Competition.) She did a flawless exhibition jump course.
Two weeks after "Jeanie" was born, a male mule was foaled at our place. Debby named him "Jassper". I used him as my saddle "horse" until he was sold at age 12 and became a winning Team Penning mount. He ultimately ended up in Kentucky, ponying Thoroughbred colts during their race training days.
As the years passed, we raised and trained other mules. Why do they fascinate me?
The great horseman Pat Parelli, founder of The American Mule Association, once said, "Mules are just like horses, only more so."
I know what he meant. The qualities of equine behavior, both the desirable and the less desirable, enhanced by hybrid vigor in two different, but compatible species – the horse and the donkey, are exaggerated in the mule.
If trained properly, the mule can often surpass both of its parents in many ways: strength, endurance, vigor, versatility and temperament. Typically smooth gaited and intelligent, they can bond strongly with people (like me).
I will be forever grateful to the Spalding Labs company for their Fly Predators. I have previously described how our relationship began many years ago. It was 1978. I had read about the Predator Flies, and my practice partner, Dr. Larry Dresher, was using them satisfactorily.
It was noon, on an August day. The temperature was over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. I was at a large stable in an isolated canyon, working on a mare's leg, trying to determine the cause of her lameness.
I suddenly became aware of the lack of flies. I asked the ranch manager who was standing nearby, "What are you using for fly control?" I assumed it was some kind of insecticide spray.
"Fly Predators," she replied.
"That's all?" I asked. "No insecticides?"
"Nope," she responded. "Just Predators works great!"
I ordered Fly Predators the next day and have been a user ever since.
My place is in an isolated canyon, but off from the marine air layer that gives Western California its benevolent climate, summer temperatures reach extreme daily highs and consequently, the warm season (half the year) has a nasty fly season. The regular use of Spalding Fly Predators has tremendously reduced the fly problem. (I have persuaded my neighbors to use them too. They have horses, cattle, goats, and even emus that the coyotes haven't yet wiped out.)
Spalding now has several other products available. They include various fly traps and sprays and Bye Bye Odor. I hope that Spalding achieves the success with these items that they did with their Fly Predators. I have become a loyal customer.

Welcome to the bizarre and unjust world of civil asset forfeiture. From Christopher Ingraham at washingtonpost.com:
A 64-year-old Cleveland man is suing U.S. Customs and Border Protection after agents strip-searched him at an airport in October and took more than $58,000 in cash from him without charging him with any crime, according to a federal lawsuit filed this week in Ohio.
Customs agents seized the money through a process known as civil asset forfeiture, a law enforcement technique that allows authorities to take cash and property from people who are never convicted or even charged with a crime. The practice is widespread at the federal level. In 2017, federal authorities seized more than $2 billion in assets from people, a net loss similar in size to annual losses from residential burglaries in the United States.
Customs says it suspects that the petitioner in the case, Rustem Kazazi, was involved in smuggling, drug trafficking or money laundering. Kazazi denies those allegations and says that the agency is violating federal law by keeping his money without filing any formal complaint against him.
Kazazi is a retired officer with the Albanian police who relocated with his family to the United States in 2005 after receiving visas through the State Department's lottery program. They became U.S. citizens in 2010. After several years away, Kazazi planned a trip to Albania last fall to visit relatives, make repairs on a family property and potentially purchase a vacation home.
He took $58,100 in U.S. currency with him, the product of 12 years of savings by Kazazi, his wife, Lejla, and his son Erald, who is finishing a chemical engineering degree at Cleveland State University, according to the lawsuit. The family lives in Parma Heights, a suburb of Cleveland.
In an interview translated by his son, Kazazi said safety concerns prompted him to take cash on his trip, rather than wire the funds to a local bank.
"The crime [in Albania] is much worse than it is here," he said. "Other people that have made large withdrawals [from Albanian banks] have had people intercept them and take their money. The exchange rates and fees are [also] excessive."
To continue reading: A 64-year-old put his life savings in his carry-on. U.S. Customs took it without charging him with a crime.

Sales and earnings beat, and earnings guidance is ahead of expectations, too.
Booking Holdings' (BKNG) second-quarter results benefit from solid growth in booked room nights and strong performance of merchant and, advertising and other businesses.
(Bloomberg) -- Booking Holdings Inc.'s better-than-expected earnings drew positive commentary on Wall Street and suggested that the online travel company may finally be back on track.The shares rose as much as 6.8% Thursday, their biggest intraday gain in almost three months. Analysts called the results "better than feared" and a "welcome surprise" after disappointments in previous quarters. At the same time, the company's forecast for room night growth in the third quarter missed estimates and sparked some concerns about slowing growth.Here's what Wall Street is saying:Wedbush, James HardimanThe results were a "welcome surprise" after the fourth quarter "spooked investors with regards to the European outlook" and first-quarter earnings "did little to alleviate these concerns."Now, Booking "seems to be back to its standard of comfortably exceeding quarterly expectations and providing a quarterly guidance that, while certainly not blowing away Street estimates, does encompass the consensus."Neutral, price target raised to $1,950 from $1,850.Benchmark, Daniel L. KurnosThe shares should see a relief rally on the back of solid results, especially 12% room-night growth that exceed analyst estimates of 9%. However, the third-quarter forecast calls for only 6%-8% room-night growth as Booking continues to pull back on spending."There may be intrinsic value in the shares but the balance between investors' need for growth and holding margins flattish to maintain the Company's premium valuation feels tenuous at best." Benchmark has a holding rating on the stock.Morgan Stanley, Brian NowakBuybacks helped drive the earnings per share beat in the second quarter and, along with Booking's forecast, "continue to reaffirm our view that we are entering a period of slower growth and smaller EPS beats."The company will need more growth in alternative accommodations and/or more penetration in the U.S. market to maintain double-digit room-night growth. Challenges in U.S. brand marketing make it difficult to see this as the "base case" scenario."Valuation isn't stretched relative to many consumer sectors but we would rather deploy incremental capital in FB/GOOGL at these levels given the growth/valuation relationship and more durable longterm growth."Morgan Stanley has an equal-weight rating on Booking and raised its price target to $2,100 from $2,050.Susquehanna, Shyam PatilThe results were "much better than feared." While the third-quarter room nights outlook came in below the average analyst estimate, Booking tends to beat its guidance. The company also "remains somewhat cautious around the EU travel macro" environment.Susquehanna has a positive rating on the stock and raised its price target to $2,250 from $2,100.What Bloomberg Intelligence Says"Similar to the last quarter, Booking Holdings' room-night growth view for 3Q looks conservative given strong 2Q results at 500 bps above the midpoint of company guidance. We believe Booking's expanding supply in alternative accommodations will remain a tailwind for room-night growth in 2H."-- Mandeep Singh and Andrew Eisenson, tech analysts-- Click here for the researchTo contact the reporter on this story: Catherine Larkin in Chicago at email@example.com contact the editors responsible for this story: Courtney Dentch at firstname.lastname@example.com, Jennifer Bissell-LinskFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Calling External Java Classes from DirXML Stylesheets
Articles and Tips: tip
Novell, Inc.
01 Aug 2001
With DirXML, you can call standard Java classes or self-created classes from Jar files from any stylesheet that is located in the SYS:SYSTEM\LIB directory on a NetWare server, or from the \NOVELL\NDS\LIB directory on a Windows NT/2000 server.
Within the stylesheet, you need to declare a new name space, which is used to address the class. You then create a class instance by calling the constructor method. To use this method, you must pass the new class instance as well as any required parameters.
Below is an example of such a process:
<!--declare name space in template-->
<xsl:template name="getCN" xmlns:gta String="http://www.novell.com/nxsl/java/ com.novell.gta.String2dn">
<!--create new class instance-->
<xsl:variable name="instance" select="gtaString:new()"/>
<!--call method with instance name-->
<xsl:variable name="cn" select="gtaString:getcn($instance,$dn)"/>

Si – Tracer
Si-Tracer is an innovative acoustic camera. It works with the Sound-Identification-Algorithm (SIA) that reaches a full 20 dB(A) dynamic range with only 24 microphones in optimized arrangement. Standard cameras require many (e.g. 60) microphones for displaying a dynamic range of 8-13 dB. They only deliver a rough locating where a loud sound source is, but they cannot provide any further information about the differences between several loud sound sources, due to the small dynamic range and the unsharpness. In addition, extra effort is necessary for focussing on the sound source. Si-Tracer needs no extra focus on the distance to the sound source. The focussing works automatically without any auxiliaries. Additionally si-Tracer can focus on multiple sound sources at the same time. Along with recordings in real time si-Tracer can play recordings in slow motion. A time-streching by a factor of 1024 is possible. The frequency band of interest can be selected subsequently. The slow motion playback reveals especially impulsive or fast moving sounds and their spreading

I'm a pretty dang lazy person. I wear the exact same thing to work nearly every day, because it's easy and I don't have to think about it, plus bike commuting means I don't want to get my nice things sweaty and dirty. I do laundry every other week, but also because doing laundry is expensive and I hate wasting quarters. I also like clothes that hide when I eat too many cookies, which is all the time. The Black Diamond Dawn Wall Hoody is perfect. The polyester stretch jersey is technical and casual all at once. Toss it on at work or at the crag; you won't look out of place at either.
From December 9 to December 16, I'm giving away one Black Diamond Dawn Wall Hoody to a lucky winner. This is available for both men and women. If you're antsy to get your hands on a hoodie, buy through Black Diamond or Backcountry for $99.

#OOTD: Flares For Fall (Feat. JORD + Ann Taylor + Rocksbox)
Ahhh, crisp air in the mornings, leaves crunching under foot, and pumpkins galore! Fall has officially begun here in Pittsburgh and I have been enjoying every minute it of it-- well every minute that I have free too enjoy it anyways, since I recently have been buried in college text books while studying for my midterms. However, I was thrilled that this morning I was able to break away from my studies for a little bit until this afternoon, and take a lovely morning stroll through Sewickley before meeting my mum for our weekly Sunday brunch.
Sunday Strolls
Since it has been rainy the past couple days here in the 'Burgh, I was happy to wake up this morning to see that the sun was shining and that it was an absolutely gorgeous fall day. So, though I probably could have used the the extra hour and a half to work a bit more on my studies, I decided to take a little breather and head to town a little earlier and take a nice autumn morning walk before meeting my mother for brunch, and I have to say, this outfit choice was the perfect combination of comfortable and chic.
For my stroll, as well as our mother, daughter Sunday outing, I chose to pair a simple white blouse from my affiliate, Ann Taylor, along with this adorable pair of flared jeans (which I was thrilled to have found at Marshall's, I've been looking for a good pair of flares for ages!) by American Eagle, and completed this look with some plain white and gold Tommy Hilfiger sandals. And though I know the fashion rule "no white after Labor Day", my long time readers know that I feel that this is a rule that is most definitely meant to be broken!
The reason I say this is because a white blouse is such a kick-ass staple piece for fall, really I firmly believe (and have repeatedly said throughout the years) that every woman should have at least one in her fall wardrobe. "Why", you ask? Well firstly, because you can pair a white blouse with just about anything, whether it be with a cute fall skirt, dress slacks, layered with a sweater, or with jeans for a laid back look such as this one, there is just too much you can do with a white blouse to put it away for the season! Not to mention, there are ways you can dress up a basic white blouse to fit the season: For instance, as you can see in my outfit here, I chose to pair my blouse with some red drop earrings and a gorgeous red Kendra Scott necklace, which are perfect to reflect the colors of the season.
Another way to spruce up this look for fall, was to coordinate fall colors into my makeup palette, which was very easy to do thanks to my sponsor Influenster. (Full post coming soon!) Who provided me with bareMinerals liquid foundation, the awesome Maybelline City Mini's palette "Rooftop Bronze", and Kat Von D's "Bow N Arrow, Fawn Nude" lip liner. All of these darker, earthy tones are an absolutely perfect fit for fall.
And last but not least, I just have to mention the final staple piece to this casual fall outfit: my Hyde series watch by my affiliate and sponsor JORD. Though I can gush about this timepiece for days, the main reason I would like to highlight it is because currently JORD and I are hosting a GIVEAWAY where you can have a chance to win any watch from their Hyde, Frankie, or Frankie 35 series! The contest ends next Sunday so you still have plenty of time to enter, but to read all the rules and entry guidelines you can check out that info HERE.

MEXICO CITY -- Mexican conglomerate Desc hopes to raise up to $85 million from the sale of a stake in its Velcon car parts unit as part of a restructuring of its business portfolio to cut debt, the company said on Wednesday.
Desc, which has auto parts, chemicals and real estate divisions, said it had a preliminary agreement to sell 51 percent of its stake in Velcon to GKN Industries for between $80 million and $85 million.
Hard hit by the economic slowdown of the past three years, Desc said it expected to use the proceeds to reduce its debt.
As of the end of June Desc had net debt of $733 million. The company aims to reduce that to between $650 million and $700 million by the end of 2004.
Desc said in January it had reached an agreement with bank creditors to restructure debts worth $720 million and postpone their maturity for up to five years.

Journey of Roleplaying:
I first found out about Naruto 3 years ago from a friend in the village where I live, called Jamie. He told me about Naruto and I checked out the anime and got hooked on it. After watching several episodes, from what I saw, it looked like good roleplaying material. I'd already had some roleplaying experience on the RuneScape forums from the year before, when I was hooked on that. Oh, the hobbies we drive through when we're kids. So, I searched "naruto roleplaying" into Google and one of the results I found was Ingoo. I registered up there under the name of "Hinaro", a mixture of Hinata and Naruto's names, as they were my favourite pairing of the two and at the time, I was very into shipping, considering I watched a lot of the shipping videos on YouTube for Naruto and Yu-Gi-oh GX, where my favourite couple was Judai x Johan (Jaden x Jessie). After registering up to Ingoo, I already knew my way around a forum like the back of my hand, having grown up on them since I was 9 or 10. I slowly wormed my way into the community, making friends with users such as Yoshirou, Angel Mitsukai, and surprisingly, our one and only, Hage. After a few months on ingoo, I found out about a conflict going on between Ingoo and Ultimate Shinobi. Since I'd seen the friction that was happening in Ingoo on it's own, I decided to check out it's competition and see what Ultimate Shinobi was like. I registered up and Ingoo soon became nothing but a mere memory. I found Ultimate Shinobi to be a much kinder environment to newcomers such as myself and I even saw a few familiar faces which made me feel a little more comfortable around the forum. Slowly but surely, I made my way into the community, much further than I had ever gotten with Ingoo. Not too long after, I got a chance to become a moderator, which was amazing. I gladly accepted. However, my laptop was broken and I couldn't get any decent amount of internet access, plus the fact I was juggling admin'ing a forum with 50,000+ members, alone, considering the Head Admin was away. I was removed from the staff team, but I thanked them for their time and giving me the opportunity. Once my laptop was fixed, I came back to Ultimate Shinobi and I was welcomed back with open arms. I picked up where I had left off, but soon found out about a project called Ultimate Shinobi 2.0. Like the rest of the members, I was eager to find out what it was and I stayed online all day of the release date, to join the site and start making my character immediately. I made my Konoha Chuunin and again, not long after, I was offered a moderator position. Again, I gladly accepted, but this time, I didn't make the mistake of going inactive, considerinf the other forum I was admin'ing had died, because the Head Admin was gone without real reason. I concentrated my efforts into Ultimate Shinobi 2.0 and still do to this day, albeit it is diificult at times due to the fact I'm a growing teenager with real-life interests I have to juggle with my internet interests, such as Social Networking and other things, which sometimes I can find hard to juggle with my roleplaying. I'm very glad to be part of this community, but I'm not exactly one of those people who is known across the Naruto Roleplaying genre intirely. If you ask anyone on Naruto's Way Of The Ninja 3.0 or Ingoo who I am, they probably won't know. Take someone like Adam, for example, they probably will. But I don't mind that fact, because I feel I am dedicated to Ultimate Shinobi and Ultimate Shinobi alone. There have been other sites along the way, but I just know, this is the one. All the other sites just haven't been able to hold my interest, but with Ultimate Shinobi, I never lost it. So here's the the future. Cheers.

General Interests:
Obviously, roleplaying is one of my major interests in life. Ever since I've found it, I've never really left it. Of course, there are times when I just can't be bothered with it, but I've always come back. I think it's just a matter of inspiration, in my opinion. I have been roleplaying for around 4 years, but only Naruto roleplaying for just over 2 and a half years.
Playing Video Games:
I've always had an addiction to video games, ever since I was a young boy. I've grown up around them. They've influenced my life. I remember my first console being the MegaDrive. I'm now on Xbox360. My gamertag is Chappers213, if any of you fancy adding me. If you do, just make sure you include your name on the forum, or else I probably won't know who you are and accept.
I love reading. I hate it when people say a film is better than a book or that books are pointless because of films, because this is genuinely not the case. Until you've probably sat down and read a book, you don't know. Books can take you away from reality and help you escape into a world which is much better than ours. There are so many good books out there for us to read and inspirational authors for us to aspire to be like.
Watching Films:
I don't get around to watching films as much as I'd like, but I watch at least one a week, maybe two or three if I'm lucky. I have Movie Night Monday with my friends in the village every week and we usually end up watching a horror, but it's good fun. Films are great, although, like I mentioned before, usually not as good as books.
Hanging out with Friends:
My friends are my life. I love hanging out with them, at school and out of it. Some people on Ultimate Shinobi, I consider my friends, so I love hanging out with them in the chatbox. But generally, my whole life revolves around my friends, right now.
Hi, I'm Aaron.

Convicted murderer Amanda Knox gives emotional speech
PERUGIA, ITALY - Convicted murderer Amanda Knox broke into tears Saturday as she made an emotional address to an appeals court in Italy, saying she was the innocent victim of an "enormous mistake" and that her life had been "broken" by three years in jail.
In her address to the court, the 23-year-old American reached out for the first time to the family of Meredith Kercher, the British woman she was convicted of killing and sexually assaulting in 2007 when they were roommates on a student exchange program in Perugia.
Knox, from Seattle, denied being the "dangerous, diabolical, jealous, uncaring, violent" person described by the prosecution.
Last year, Knox was convicted and sentenced to 26 years in prison. Also convicted of the same charges was Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who is Knox's former boyfriend. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Both deny wrongdoing, and both have appealed the verdict.
The appeals trial formally opened last month, but that hearing was immediately adjourned. With Saturday's hearing, the new proceedings got into full swing.
"I am innocent. Raffaele is innocent. We did not kill Meredith," Knox said during her 20-minute address, speaking Italian, and her voice breaking. "It doesn't do justice to Meredith and her loved ones to take our lives from us."
Silence fell on the courtroom as Knox started speaking, with her stepfather, Chris Mellas, and her university friend Madison Paxton in attendance. Paxton, who was crying during the speech, said later that she had never been "so proud of anybody in my life."
Knox had addressed the court in the previous trial but never for as long or as passionately. She said she regretted not being able to fully speak her mind before, saying that words don't come easily to her and that she has a difficult time standing up for herself.
In the United States, the coverage of the case has been largely favorable to the American and critical of the Italian handling of the case. Some raised doubts over the investigation and the collecting of forensic evidence allegedly linking Knox and Sollecito to the crime.
"I stand here more scared than ever, not because I am or I have ever been afraid of the truth," she said, "but because the truth has not been r e c o g - nized."
She was in tears as sisters, and the idea of their suffering, their loss, terrifies me."
"What you are going through, and what Meredith was subjected to, is incomprehensible and unacceptable," she said. "You are not alone as you remember her. My heart is shattered for all of you."
Kercher's family did not attend. Their lawyer, Francesco Maresca, left the courtroom as Knox spoke, saying later that he "didn't want to have to listen to these statements, which came too late, are inappropriate, devoid of any significance and only intended (to impress) the appeals court."
she said she thinks of Kercher as a dear friend she is "grateful and honored" to have met.
In the previous trial, Knox had described Kercher as a friend whose death had shocked her. On Saturday, she turned her thoughts to the victim's family.
"I'm very sorry Meredith is no longer living," a tearful Knox said. "I, too, have little

Enterprise Zones attract more than 19,000 Jobs./
Enterprise zones have now attracted 19,000 jobs to sites across the country.
Since opening for business the zones are now home to 540 firms and more than 2,000 trainees and apprentices are benefiting from zones, tackling local skills gaps.
According to government figures released today, the 24 enterprise zones started in 2012 have now attracted:
£2.2 billion of private investment, 19,000 jobs and 540 new businesses
across a range of industries, including the automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical and renewable energy sectors.
The government launched the enterprise zones in April 2012 in an attempt to rebalance the economy to parts of the country with less investment and development infrastructure. The Chancellor announced the further expansion of the programme as part of his summer Budget.
The zones offer a number of benefits including tax incentives, simplified planning and superfast broadband for firms.
Businesses basing themselves on enterprise zones can reputedly access a number of benefits including:
100% enhanced capital allowances (tax relief) to businesses making large investments in plant and machinery on zones in assisted areas
- 100% retention of business rate growth for LEPs, to enable them to fund development on enterprise zones
- Up to 100% business rate discount worth up to £275,000 per business over a 5-year period.
Original forecasts for jobs created were recently revised down from 54,000.
Deadline for bids is 18 September 2015.

Electric ovens feature two heating elements namely baking element and broiling feature. It is easier to clean oven models that feature baking element that could be lifted quite.
Dual-fuel range combines the utilities of both the gas models and electric models. May well equipped with gas cooktop for greater control on the heat output and electric oven repairs for overall efficient ranking. They are more expensive as in comparison to the electric models and slightly less costly than the gas models.
Next, get the exact manufacturer and model and serial involving the cooktop. Get online and search for a parts service provider. Try Sears for example or Appliance Samurai to get yourself a quote along the part. Once the part arrives compare it to outdated one to find out if it excellent.
Most people could never do any stove involving kitchen. Every person one among the most indispensable appliances any kitchen could have. At present, people both use electric or gas stoves. Both of these are safe and serve point purpose of cooking food in a handy manner.
You have to start from square one if none of household can refer a company offering electric oven repairs Melbourne. The first thing you should check is licensing. All repairs companies in California must hold a license through the county's licensing board. Call the business and call for their license number or check their license number online. Because have this number, you've verify its valid and current. It's also ask the company for a duplicate of their insurance. If the company is not willing to produce you along with a certificate of insurance, go elsewhere.

Few, if any, political scientists currently study climate change adaptation or are even aware that there is a large and growing interdisciplinary field of study devoted not just to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions but to reducing our vulnerability to the now-inevitable impacts of climate change. The lack of political science expertise and research represents an obstacle for adapting to climate change, because adaptation is fundamentally political. Technical advances in adaptations for infrastructure, agriculture, public health, coastal protection, conservation, and other fields all depend on political variables for their implementation and effectiveness. For example, adaptation raises questions about political economy (adaptation costs money), political theory (adaptation involves questions of social justice), comparative politics (some countries more aggressively pursue adaptation), urban politics (some cities more aggressively pursue adaptation), regime type (democracies and authoritarian regimes may differently pursue adaptation), federalism (different levels of government may be involved), and several other fields of study including political conflict, international development, bureaucracy, migration, media, political parties, elections, civil society, and public opinion. I review the field of climate change adaptation and then explore the tremendous contributions that political scientists could make to adaptation research.

A picaresque and joyfully desperate story.
After Le Voyage à Reims and Les Caprices de Marianne, the Centre Français de Promotion Lyrique embarks on a new creation L'Ombre de Venceslao. This is the first opera by Martin Matalan, a composer passionate about musical theatre as well as cinema, having written music for the silent movies of Luis Buñuel and Fritz Lang. The piece is based on a work with the same title by the brilliant Argentinian playwright Copi (1939-1987) adapted by fellow Argentinian Jorge Lavelli, based in Paris. In this production, we find all the typical verve of the writer, with his amusing caustic humour and his darker side too.
The intrigue is based around a family story and the wanderings in a very poor Argentina by Venceslao, a sort of ludicrous modern-day Don Quixote, a couple of young incestuous lovers attracted by the charm of Buenos Aires, a pimp, an impolite parrot and a monkey with a strong personality. All in all, an incredible fresco, comprising of a handful of characters desperately trying to find happiness, lost in the difficult conditions of a hostile environment and adverse conditions of a city under a coup d'état.
After having produced many pieces by Copi, here Jorge Lavelli is here working on foreign ground. He translated from Spanish L'Ombre de Venceslao (1977) which was then adapted to the stage in Paris in 1999. He went on to write the opera libretto that was staged with striking images and admirably conveyed the modern and picaresque aspect of the story.
Stormy and tempestuous, Martin Matalón's musical score oozes dampness, sensuality and death. The composer has subtly overcome the difficulties of putting the text to music by varying the vocal expression and a young, dynamic and cosmopolitan cast who prove to be a real tour de force.
Length 90 minuts without intermission / Performance in French with English subtitles

In an effort to promote environmental awareness and raise environmental education standards, the Frontier Centre for Public Policy is today, Earth Day, releasing the Smart Green Frontiers Climate Change Quiz.
Peter Holle, the Frontier Centre's president, said the focus, in our schools today, is on indoctrinating children to 'take action against climate change', without ever actually teaching them about the controversy surrounding the science. "The quiz," he said, "takes students to the heart of climate science. It is an interactive quiz that gives detailed explanations of why any given question can be right or wrong.
For example, he said, the question in the quiz of how much the average U.S. surface temperature changed during the 20th Century gives an explanation of historical temperatures and how the averages are calculated. "The Frontier Centre views this approach as crucial for several reasons. It is in line with our Smart Green principle that environmental decision making must be evidence based if decisions are to be effective. While the Earth Day website contains emotional exhortations so melodramatic they are comical, the Frontier quiz focuses on scientific evidence."
Holle said it is also important that our western heritage of open and honest scientific be safeguarded . "The Frontier quiz aligns with the western tradition of scientific progress by continually testing theories against the facts by allowing individual students to test their own understanding against the latest climate data."
The scientific content for the quiz was prepared by Dr Tim Ball, retired professor of historical climatology from the University of Winnipeg and a member of the Frontier Centre for Public Policy's Research Advisory Board, and Tom Harris, Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC), an association of scientists, economists and energy and policy experts working to promote better public understanding of climate change.
Tim Ball has an extensive science background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition with additional experience in water resources and areas of sustainable development, pollution prevention, environmental regulations, the impact of government policy on business and economics. He is researcher/author of numerous papers on climate, long range weather patterns, impacts of climate change on sustainable agriculture, ecosystems, historical climatology, air quality, untapped energy resources, silting and flooding problems. He had a long academic career at the University of Winnipeg until he moved to Victoria in 1996. He has a BA from the University of Winnipeg, an MA from the University of Manitoba and a Ph.D (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England.
Tom Harris's basic education was in thermo-fluids and energy sciences and he has Bachelor (Carleton) and Masters Degrees in Mechanical Engineering (McMasters). He has thirty years experience working as a mechanical engineer and project manager, science and technology communications professional and media and S&T advisor to a former Opposition Senior Environment Critic. For the past ten years he has been working intensively with a growing team of independent scientists and engineers to promote a sensible approach to range of energy and environmental topics, climate change in particular. His main focus has been the highly controversial science underlying these issues.
"Exposing children individually to the raw science in an engaging and interactive way is the best medicine for preserving our heritage of open scientific enquiry, and preparing the next generation to deal with increasingly complex environmental questions." said Frontier Centre President Peter Holle at the time of the Climate Quiz launch.
The Smart Green Frontiers Climate Change Quiz, which will be shared by an international network of think tanks called the Civil Society Coalition of Climate Change (www.csccc.info) (made up of 45 member organizations from 34 countries) can be found at csccc.fcpp.org
About the Frontier Centre for Public Policy
The Frontier Centre for Public Policy (www.fcpp.org) is and independent, non-profit think tank, founded to undertake research and education in support of economic growth and social outcomes that will enhance the quality of life in our communities.

About the Smart Green Frontiers Project
The Smart Green Frontiers Project is a Frontier Centre initiative that explores how to solve environmental problems without reducing human freedom. The phrase "smart green" is intended to shift the environmental agenda away from a traditional model based on a "command and control" style of regulation and towards the use of markets and property rights. We present the case that smart green has a better chance to accomplish a universal objective: a cleaner, healthier world.
About the International Climate Science Coalition
The International Climate Science Coalition (www.climatescienceinternational.org) is an association of scientists, economists and energy and policy experts working to promote better public understanding of climate change. ICSC is committed to providing a highly credible alternative to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) thereby fostering a more rational, open discussion about climate issues.
About the Civil Society Coalition on Climate Change
The Civil Society Coalition on Climate Change (www.csccc.info) seeks to educate the public about the science and economics of climate change in an impartial manner. It was established as a response to the many biased and alarmist claims about human-induced climate change, which are being used to justify calls for intervention and regulation. The Coalition comprises over forty independent civil society organisations who share a commitment to improving public understanding about a range of public policy issues. All are non-profit organizations that are independent of political parties and government.

Safer Chemicals in Children's Products
Maine prioritizes chemicals into three tiers
Leading efforts to improve the chemical safety of consumer products, Maine's chemical reporting regulation aims to encourage the use of safer alternatives and increase awareness of potential childhood chemical exposures from common household products.
Three tiers of priority
Maine lists approximately 1400 compounds as chemicals of concern. From this list, chemicals of high concern are designated and upon further review, may be elevated to priority chemical status which results in regulatory action. Each tier of prioritization builds upon the criteria of the list before it.
Reporting Requirements
Manufacturers selling certain categories of children's products in Maine containing any of Maine's priority chemicals, in an amount greater than de minimis, and who have not already reported to the Department, must do so within 30 days of the product's availability in Maine. The Department has adopted rules for each priority chemical that must be reported when intentionally added to certain children's products which are sold in the State of Maine. Reporting forms for the specified chemicals must be submitted to Maine DEP. See the specific rule chapters for details. If you are unsure whether you are affected by these regulations please contact Kerri Malinowski at (207) 215-1894.
More Information
- Toxic Chemicals in Children's Products Law (off-site)
- Safer Chemicals Rules

Roofers – You Get What You Pay For When Hiring a Roofing Contractor
The rooftop on your home or business is the principal line of barrier with regards to ensuring your land property speculation! Rooftops are for the most part the most costly single thing that property proprietors will supplant. At the point when it's a great opportunity to have another material framework introduced, usually hard to know which roofer to contract for the activity! Property holders ought to be distrustful of enlisting their roofer in light of cost alone. While enlisting a roofer, you for the most part will get precisely what you pay for! Procuring a roofer exclusively in light of the fact that they gave the most reduced offer may bring about a low quality rooftop that may spill and lessen the control interest of your home.
Contracting a roofer can be confounding, yet property proprietors can be certain that they are employing the most perfectly awesome roofer for their particular material needs by following a couple of essential advances.
There are various material temporary workers in your general vicinity. In any case, not all material contractual workers are knowledgeable about your particular kind of material framework. Private roofers ought to be ensured with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas Roofing. A business rooftop temporary worker ought to be talented in a wide range of level material and affirmed with different business material makers, for example, Carlisle Syntec, Sika Sarnafil, GAF, Versico, and MuleHide. Ask the material contractual worker you are thinking about on the off chance that they have involvement in introducing the correct sort of rooftop that you need introduced. Be particular in tending to this inquiry. For example, on the off chance that you are keen on introducing a metal shake tile rooftop, inquire as to whether they have really introduced a metal shake tile rooftop and not only a metal rooftop. Material frameworks can be altogether different in their arrangement and establishment necessities. The same applies for substantial creator shingles, TPO rooftops, slate rooftops, tile rooftops, or some other sort of rooftop. You need to employ a roofer with hands on involvement in introducing the particular kind of material framework that you need introduced on your home or business!
Learned IN ROOFING CONSTRUCTION
Tragically, not all material organizations are learned in material development. In the present market, the material business can be lucrative and draws in people who are shrewd at promoting and inspired by owning a beneficial business yet they are not really proficient in material development. Be particular while contracting a material organization and make inquiries like:
Are they up and coming on current codes and building prerequisites
Are they affirmed with the material producer for your particular rooftop
Have they investigated your present ventilation framework
Did they talk about ventilation choices or upgrades
Have they investigated your rooftop decking
Did they instruct you with respect to potential spoiled wood that may not be noticeable
Do you have space decking that should be re-decked
Will they utilize genuine starter strip and edge top
Do they supplant all pipe jacks and rooftop extras
Will they expel the current shingles and beginning with a perfect rooftop deck
Make certain and contact the Better Business Bureau and guarantee that the material contractual worker has an A+ rating! It is urgent to work with a roofer who is focused on client benefit and treating clients decently! On the off chance that the roofer you are thinking about has an A+ rating with the BBB you can be certain that they will strive to introduce a magnificent quality rooftop that meets or surpasses your desires.
Look at THEIR WEBSITE AND PORTFOLIO
The present material contractual workers are exceptionally mindful that the world has gone computerized and shoppers need to see cases of their work on the web! Inquire as to whether they have a site and set aside the opportunity to look at their accreditations! An expert site will give you nitty gritty data on the numerous administrations and capabilities that the roofer holds and in addition a portfolio that will indicate you different cases of their work! A roofer who doesn't have a site in the present material industry showcase is certainly not a best roofer in your general vicinity!
Client TESTIMONIALS AND REFERRALS
Look online for client surveys through destinations like Google and Yelp! In the event that a client sets aside the opportunity to post an audit then you can be guaranteed that the roofer you are thinking about will give you a quality material framework! Go to their site and check whether they have a client tribute segment! Any trustworthy roofer will have a zone of their site devoted to client surveys. To wrap things up, you can simply approach them for a rundown of past clients who you may contact for a referral. On the off chance that you talk with a roofer who can't give you a rundown of client referrals and does not have different positive surveys posted on the web, our recommendation is run and locate a more qualified and respectable material organization!
Consistently we hear tragic stories of people who have been conned by people acting like a neighborhood material contractual worker in their general vicinity. In some cases these cons really were roofers who took the cash and ran! In the event that your rooftop is being supplanted as a major aspect of a protection guarantee we never gather any cash until the point that the rooftop is really introduced. On the off chance that your rooftop is being supplanted as a money appraise, at that point you ought to have an extremely ostensible up front installment that must be made with a specific end goal to anchor the agreement. Installment is never given until the point that the rooftop is introduced and you are an upbeat client!

Wild Woman Story: Towards the Edge with Christina Radvak
Christina is a timeless beauty. A soft power radiates in her eyes and smile. As a bi-racial woman, she has navigated through some complex terrain, yet her presence provokes a profound depth of self-acceptance. She knows exactly who she is. Not only that, she knows how powerful she is. We wandered down from the forest towards the ocean. We were both called by the calm waves as the tide came in. The water was warm and inviting. Without hesitation, she waded in, pausing momentarily to adjust to movement that now surrounded her.
Water symbolizes emotions and when we wade in we are embracing the currents that shape our experience with the world around us and within us. Tides roll in like clock work, pushed and pulled by a cosmic thread between the moon and the earth.
In the Secret of Water Masaru Emoto advises, "If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong." Finding our way back to ourselves, by submerging our mind and body within the infinite wisdom of water, will renew aspects of ourselves that we did not realize existed.
Wild woman needs water to survive. She needs it to live to her fullest. She needs it to rest back into her wholeness and float upon its surface until she arrives.
