Iranian Presidents In New York, Ninjas Robbing Gas Stations in Pennsylvania, What is This Country Coming to?
I was going to write an awesome post about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and how he is crazy like a fox. My post was going to be based on this "just the tip of the crazy iceberg" quote from his speech at Columbia University yesterday: "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who has told you we have it."
Then I realized that the GTB is dedicated to investigatory journalism and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad being crazy is not a hardhitting news report. In fact, it isn't news at all and you and I both know that stories that aren't news, aren't what you come here for.
So I went in search of a story that IS news. That IS crazy. That is exactly the type of story that will shock and inspire our readers. That's when I stumbled upon this story about the gas station in Richland Township, PA that was robbed early Sunday morning by women dressed as ninjas brandishing a samurai sword and a dagger. The bandits made off with lotto tickets and a bag of cigarettes (classy!). The suspects are still at large.
I also suggest you check out this site that tells you how you too can become a ninja. Hopefully not the kind that robs gas stations for smokes and lotto tickets you can never cash in.

A term coined by a good friend of mine is "Wendying", which is the process by which a masculine-identified person expects a femme (or a small group of femmes) to deal with hir problems and take care of hir without hir ever having to confront hir issues or actually acknowledge their roots. This ties in with the Peter Pan idea of not having to grow up, and the communal expectation that femmes will get masculine-identified people to settle down and become responsible adults. Which, of course, places the burden of encouraging adult behavior on femmes, assumes that all masculine-identified people are interested in femmes as partners, and that all femmes are interested in masculine-identified people as partners.
I've never lived in that sort of queer community (that most of my close friends are queer is more of a disparate, happy coincidence), but this applies well to many heterosexual situations I've seen, or been involved with. It also chimes with a phenomena I've nattered to Drew (Newfoundland separatist, PETA enemy and the nicest MRA in the whole wide world) about; the way young men are seen, and portrayed in the media, as being 'riskier', less stable, less adult, than young women. In some places - New York City and the UK as a whole are two - women in their 20s earn, on average, more than men of the same age. It doesn't outweigh the income plunge that begins in the 30s, but it's real. Another odd effect is that men who take arts degrees earn less than men who do not go to university at all. One could speculate that the man who goes to university for the same reasons many women go to university - transferable skills, learning for the sake of learning, a little freedom without too much responsibility - become that media stereotype of the wasted student who never gets up before noon. Meanwhile 20y/o men who are in a trade, or a career that doesn't require a degree, are considered to have passed The Great Masculinity Test and can be rewarded with man$s.
Marriage has a way of conferring adulthood on a man, and conferring responsibility for another life on a woman.
I have quoted SCUM on the subject of gender identity before now, on Deadjournal, but there is no harm in doing it again;
Being an incomplete female, the male spends his life attempting to complete himself, to become female. He attempts to do this by constantly seeking out, fraternizing with and trying to live through and fuse with the female, and by claiming as his own all female characteristics - emotional strength and independence, forcefulness, dynamism, decisiveness, coolness, objectivity, assertiveness, courage, integrity, vitality, intensity, depth of character, grooviness, etc. - and projecting onto women all male traits - vanity, frivolity, triviality, weakness, etc. It should be said though, that the male has one glaring area of superiority over the female - public relations. (He has done a brilliant job of convincing millions of women that men are women and women are men.)
(It's worth mentioning that the manifesto also supports asexual supremacy; Solanas is pretty clear about the fact that she'd had relationships with men and with women before settling into asexuality.)
As I've said before, that passage isn't about gender, it's about privilege and power. Any person with agency will exhibit those 'female characteristics', and any person without will exhibit the 'male' ones. (Like being a player character in life rather than an NPC.) It's as if Solanas is describing the shock of seeing women sailing under their own steam. What does this have to do with 'Wendying'? Simply that asking someone to be your supportive, empathic Wendy is going to steal from their objectivity, integrity and assertiveness in relation to you, while all the while allowing you to be frivolous and weak (not that those are bad things) through them, without ever facing up to it yourself. Wendying is that public relations job Solanas is writing about.
Wendying is also my worst nightmare, biggest heterosexual headache, and a skill base I possess that I insist on using only on my own terms. I fail at queer identity, really I do; I look very femmy ('Earth mother' more than anything, much as I loathe the concept), but I'm far more drawn to butch ethics/dynamics, esp. in relation to other queer women. I'm that girl who'll stay awake while you nap, or offer you her shawl when you're cold, or listen without getting empathically sucked into your problems, or being responsible for them in any way. I bake a lot and repair or mod my own clothes; I also love videogames, repel wasp/spider incursions for my insect-phobic flatmates, hitch-hike, enthusiastically do basic electrical repairs, and loudly lambast the (many, many) people who address me as male on CiF. I tend to admire butch women and fancy femme ones (but not always). I should possibly make a post about how I [emotionally/spiritually] get off on being hospitable, and why, and why it may be extremely fucked up.
I also, as ever, have giant issues with the way my father Wendied (wendyed?) me when I was a teenager and will take a metaphorical knife to the metaphorical bollocks of anyone who tries to do the same, except that I can't, for I am butch and thus fundamentally bad & passive at negotiating with my own problems. Back to RadMasc;
This idea that masculine folk take care of others to the exclusion of themselves goes far beyond sex. The stereotype is definitely of someone who does not openly express emotions, does not go to others for help with hir problems, and is protecting others to the exclusion of protecting hirself. In fact, the archetype of a butch is of someone who is a guardian of the community, has a job that enables hir to support others (despite the realities that many masculine butch and/or trans folk face intense job discrimination for being visibly queer and gender variant), shrugs off emotional and physical pain without complaining or asking for help, and in general giving constant support without ever needing any of hir own.
-that [excepting the difficulties of visible queerness - I get the much more benign, but sometimes suffocating, difficulties of invisible biness instead] is the kind of ideal I have for the sort of lifestyle I'd like to lead. (I am made of fail, so atm not, but it's what I'm after and I'd be mildly surprised if I don't wind up there sooner rather than later).
One last thought; the other place I've encountered that 'butch woman', unable to reach out for help, but good at supporting others, emotional persona is in descriptions of the general behaviour pattern of the abuse survivor. I am reluctant when it comes to claiming that my teenage life involved emotional abuse, except that by most definitions it did. I like to think that I would've been like this anyway, but better at it.

The screw press is a machine in which the blank is continuously advanced in the press chamber and the crude oil is squeezed under dynamic squeezing. In addition to the hopper, the press chamber is the main part of the operation, by a squeeze screw and cylinder squeeze cage composition. There are two types of single-stage press and two-stage press, single-stage only one horizontal press chamber, two-stage plus a straight press to carry out the first level press. The squeeze shaft consists of a Screw Oil Press number of crimps and loops on the shaft. Each screw has a certain pitch and screw depth, and a shaft on the pitch of the screw from the feed to the discharge port gradually shortened, the screw gradually become shallow, so that the volume of the press from the import to the export gradually To reduce the billet into the press after the squeeze screw thread level to the exit, the pressure gradually increased, so the oil will be squeezed out. Cylindrical squeeze crates and squeeze the installation of gasket to form a gap between the oil, squeezed out of the oil that is through the gap. The large squeegee press is also equipped with scraper, scraper deep in the press chamber, aimed at each circle, to prevent the blank in the press chamber sliding, and to prevent the billet, and to adjust the cake thickness, Thereby correspondingly controlling the pressure of the press chamber and reducing the residual oil rate. In addition, the machine also has a smooth surface of the cake cake, etc., and often accompanied by steamed wok, the oil can be steamed and pressed continuously.
The main part of the screw press is the squeeze chamber, squeezing chamber is with the squeeze cage and in the squeeze cage rotation of the screw shaft composition. Its work process is the use of screw shaft screw lead to narrow or root circle Screw Oil Press diameter gradually increased, frying a good material embryo into the press after the press, the screw thread in the rotation under the action, so that the size of the press chamber is shrinking And squeeze the squeeze; squeeze out the squeeze from the squeeze out of the gap, while the residue pressed into a chip cake, from the end of the squeeze axis continue to discharge. Squeeze oil in general can be divided into three stages that feed (preload) section, the main squeeze (out of oil) section, into a cake (heavy pressure oil) section. Gradually feed the end towards the end of the cake. Due to squeeze screw thread diameter from small to large changes, so that the volume of each chamber gradually reduced; and because of the thread thread continuously pushed into the material embryo, so that after the resistance to push the product pressure, Embryo, squeeze the oil out. At the same time adjust the cake gap to change the thickness of the cake, the smaller the gap, the thinner the cake, press the pressure inside the chamber. In addition, the material embryo in the press chamber was motion state, resulting in material embryo and row row, garden row, material embryo and squeeze, material embryo and material embryo friction, and produce a lot of heat, so that the embryo in the press Temperature rise, so that there is a good embryo out of oil, improve the oil rate.
It has the advantages of small selection, high production efficiency, high performance, reasonable structure, beautiful appearance, reliable quality, simple operation, saving power and other advantages, and more automatic temperature control, Screw Oil Press one squeezing net, high oil rate, vacuum filtration, High production efficiency and other special advantages.
Spiral oil press can be more than a machine, the sesame, peanuts, rapeseed, tea seeds, soybeans, sunflower, flax, cottonseed, corn, walnut and other 20 kinds of oil for oil processing. Four squeezed out of the oil through the vacuum filter, fragrant seductive, crystal pure, safe and sanitary, can be directly consumed or bottled for sale.

I got the tyres replaced on my car today. The ones that were slashed (presumably by my psycho next door neighbour). It shits me no end to be paying out this money because of her insanity and, if I ever find out for certain she did it, I will make sure she suffers. It's so wrong.
Now I'm hiding my car around the corner so she doesn't see it. How ridiculous is that?
Anyway, I had to get it done because I'm working next week and the train was taking 1.5 – 2 hours EACH WAY! That is seriously bullshit. On Wednesday, I left home at 7 am and didn't back until 8.30 pm and that was just going to work and back, no going to the gym or anything after work.
So I've basically done nothing this week. The diet has been crap and exercise non-existant. Even today and yesterday when I've not been working, I've been too buggered to even care.
Hopefully next week will be much better.
In the meantime, what's happening with the stupid international exchange rates? The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket except obviously Japan cos their money is holding steady. It's hard not to take this personally!!!

"Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world" Acts 15:18
God has foreknowledge and the primary aspect of this foreknowledge is He knows His own works, and His works are the primary works. God also declares the end from the beginning … and His councel shall stand, and He will do all His pleasure. Not only has God spoken it but He will also bring it to pass. He has purposed it and He will also do it (Is. 46:10-11). God's foreknowledge is for the most part unique only to Him, however in salvation God is sharing this knowledge with His people. Brethren there are things that we know. We know these things to be true and factual. Things that have not yet come to be fulfilled however they are things WE KNOW. Here are just a few examples: We KNOW that all things work together for good to them that love God.. Rom. 8:28 Ye KNOW that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58, KNOWING that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: Col. 3:24, We KNOW that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2
These things we know are still before us but God has allowed us to know them and lay hold of them. This is a knowledge of God's work and we rejoice in it.
-Brother Tyler-James Boyd

Housing approvals in NSW have continued at near-record highs according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data, in a further sign the NSW Government's commitment to boost housing supply is delivering results.
Official data released today showed approvals in NSW reached 75,074 in the year to February 2017, remaining close to all-time record levels.
NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the increase in NSW of 12.6% over the year to February 2017 represented the fastest pace of growth across all states, with approvals in the rest of Australia declining by 12.5% over the same period.
"Today's data shows annual housing approvals have more than doubled since the Liberal-National Government took office in 2011," Mr Perrottet said.
"We have said one of our priorities is to get more houses on the market, and we are delivering on that promise, month after month.
"Not only is this vital to tackling housing affordability, it also means more jobs for NSW workers with a growing pipeline of construction, and reflects the great strength of our economy here in NSW."
Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts, said the Government's reforms to streamline and simplify the planning system were bolstering the impressive results.
"These figures are clear evidence our priorities of cutting red tape and making the approval process simpler and faster is working," Mr Roberts said.
"In response to the record level of residential activity, we are building the necessary infrastructure to go with these new homes and creating vibrant communities close to transport, entertainment and green space."
In a further sign of the NSW economy's strength, the ABS also released data today showing strong retail spending growth over the year to February. Spending in NSW increased by 3.3% – almost 1 percentage point more than the rest of Australia.
This marks the 43rd consecutive month that the annual growth in retail trade in NSW has risen faster than the rest of the nation.

The third-quarter earnings season is now underway, and there have been a few standouts, with the broad markets rising this week. Perhaps one of the biggest winners was Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), which hit a new all-time high. However, we have has put together a list of the other major winners from earnings that took place this past week.
24/7 Wall St. has included some of the highlights from these earnings reports as well as the consensus price target and a recent trading history of the stock.
After the markets closed on Monday, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) released its most recent earnings report. The reaction to the report was incredible, with the stock surging as much as 20%. So far this year, the stock has actually traded down over 10%. This earnings report could signal the return of this streaming giant.
The company posted $0.12 in earnings per share (EPS) and $2.29 billion in revenue. Thomson Reuters had consensus estimates of $0.06 in EPS on revenue of $2.28 billion. The same period of last year reportedly had EPS of $0.07 and $2.28 billion in revenue.
During this past quarter, Netflix added 0.4 million members in the United States, versus its forecast of 0.3 million, and 3.2 million members internationally, versus 2.0 million. The overperformance was driven primarily by stronger than expected acquisition due to excitement around Netflix original content. Total net additions for the quarter was 3.57 million, making a grand total of global paid memberships of 86.74 million.
In terms of guidance for the fourth quarter, Netflix expects to have $0.13 in EPS and $2.34 billion in revenue. The consensus estimates call for $0.07 in EPS on $2.4 billion in revenue.
Shares of Netflix closed Friday at $127.50, with a consensus analyst price target of $119.44 and a 52-week trading range of $79.95 to $133.27. Over the course of the week the stock rose about 27%.
American Express
American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP) reported third-quarter financial results after markets closed on Wednesday. Many expected Amex to be hurting this quarter because this was the first period that the company reported without its Costco portfolio. However, Amex shocked investors and analysts alike blowing the earnings estimate out of the water.
The company posted $1.20 in EPS on $7.77 billion in revenue, versus consensus estimates that called for EPS of $0.96 in EPS and $7.72 billion in revenue. In the same period of last year, Amex posted $1.24 in EPS and $8.19 billion in revenue.
As for 2016 full year guidance, Amex expects EPS in the range of $5.90 to $6.00, which compares to the consensus estimate of $5.51 per share.
Shares of Amex closed Friday at $67.36, finishing the week up 12%. The consensus price target is $67.74, and the 52-week range is $50.27 to $74.97.
When Harley-Davidson Inc. (NYSE: HOG) released its third-quarter earnings report before the markets opened on Tuesday, it posted $0.64 in EPS on $1.09 billion in revenue. The consensus estimates had called for EPS of $0.64 and $1.09 billion in revenue. In the same period of last year, the company reported $0.69 in EPS and revenue of $1.14 billion.
Revenue from motorcycles and related products was down compared to the third quarter in 2015, primarily due to decreased motorcycle shipments.
In terms of guidance, Harley-Davidson continues to expect to ship 264,000 to 269,000 motorcycles in 2016, which is roughly down 1% to up 1% from 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the company expects to ship 44,200 to 49,200 motorcycles, compared to 48,149 motorcycles shipped in the year-ago period.
Shares of Harley-Davidson closed Friday at $56.37, with a consensus price target of $53.40 and a 52-week range of $36.36 to $57.33. Over the course of the week the stock rose 13%.
Domino's Pizza
On Tuesday, Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ) reported its most recent financial results before the markets opened. The company posted $0.96 in earnings per share (EPS) and $566.7 million in revenue, compared with consensus estimates of $0.89 in EPS on revenue of $542.38 million. The same period of last year reportedly had EPS of $0.67 and $484.7 million in revenue.
The company saw its revenues rise in this quarter, primarily due to higher supply chain revenues from increased volumes and store growth. Increased domestic franchise and company-owned store revenues and higher international revenues resulting from both same-store sales and store count growth also contributed to this increase.
Shares of Domino's closed Friday at $166.36. The stock has a consensus price target of $163.50 and a 52-week range of $100.59 to $166.51. Over the course of the week, the stock was up about 10%.

such great advice, sometimes when things get hard to bear its better to just accept them and move on rather then wallowing and constantly thinking about them. i feel that is one thing i've learned this year that has really helped me deal with some things that have been less then great. love your 31 days posts so far their great!

I heard a great sermon once that explained how sometimes there isn't always a 'lesson to be learned' in a trial. Sometimes the enemy is just attacking you, or others around you, and the only 'point' of it all is to still be able to stand firm and declare that God is good. Even amidst all this tragedy, God is good. I've tried to remember this, and in some aspects, it makes me feel like my life has more purpose and I am still doing something. I may not be able to help those starving children across the world on a grand scale, but I can still declare to the world that God is good. I hope that made sense. : )
ps. Writing you back today! Your e-mail made my morning.

Renting Silver Chiavari Chairs for Your Wedding or Event in Milwaukee and Wisconsin
Silver Chiavari chairs are synonymous with pomp and circumstance. Royal weddings, Presidential visits, grand banquets -- these Italian-created chairs are the top choice for the world's most prestigious events. It's no wonder, then, that you can find them in Buckingham Palace and the White House state dining room. While you might not have the budget of a member of the royal family, you can decorate your next event with these dazzling party accessories. Here are some ideas and tips for hiring silver Chiavari chairs in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
1. Order Extra Chairs
Whether you're hosting a birthday party or corporate event, you can never have too many silver Chiavari chairs. If more people arrive at your event than you expected, you don't want to be scrambling around looking for additional seats. So hire a few extra chairs to be on the safe side.
The good thing is that Chiavari chairs are a lot lighter than you think -- they only weigh around 10 pounds -- making them easy to set up at your event and transport around your venue. You can stack any spares in the corner of the room until you need them.
2. Decorate Your Chairs
Silver Chiavari chairs are characterized by their elegant design, which evokes the style of an Italian country house. However, you can customize these accessories with a cushion or two in a color scheme that compliments the rest of your event venue. Alternatively, tie a balloon to a leg of a chair or decorate the back with a ribbon.
Don't forget to decorate your tables, too. Choosing table linen in the same color as your cushions will create a uniform look that your guests will love. Pick table centerpieces, like flowers and candelabras, and other Milwaukee party rentals that honor your color scheme as well.
3. Choose the Right Hire Company
There are several hire companies in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. However, you should be sure to pick one that will provide you with excellent customer service and great value for your money. This will ensure you get the best-quality silver Chiavari chairs for your next event.
Willie Fun Events is a full-service Milwaukee party rental company that specializes in party accessories like Chiavari chairs. Plus, delivery and pickup are included in the price, so you won't have to worry about fitting these items in your car.
Planning a big event? Look no further than Willie Fun Events. This company has Chiavari chairs in a wide range of colors, such as gold, white, black and, of course, silver. Click here to request a quote.

Warning: This post was written by a sarcastic sick lady who can't spell, so used all of her mental power to use spell check.
Most people, when they get sick, do a pretty good job being miserable even f they get to spend all day in bed, sleeping and watching their favorite show, with whatever food or drink they please at they please at their finger tips and someone waiting on them hand and foot, giving them massages and making sure the kids are quiet or out playing somewhere. Well, sometimes homemakers get a little extra misery when they get sick. If you want to be miserable, here are my tips to maximize how yucky you feel:
Wait to get sick until everyone else in your family had gotten sick and you've spent the past week either constantly holding a fevery child or getting up in the middle of the nigt several times every night because someone's medication wore off and their headache and fever came back full strength at 3 in the morning, or because someone was so exhausted from being sick that they didn't wake up to go potty at 2 in the morning and had an accident at 2 in the morning so you get to change their bedding and help them get cleaned up instead of doing something that would strengthen your immune system to keep you from getting too sick, namely sleeping.
Make sure your husband gets sick first too because you love him and take care of him as much as you do your children (except carrying him around the house on your hip, that might hurt your back, especially if your hubby is as muscley as mine is).
Be sure that no one gets COMPLETELY over their aliments before you get sick, make sure they're just to the point where they have energy again, but they are still sick enough for a headache to come on suddenly so they can start screaming about the littlest thing and later on not be able to go to sleep.
Make sure that you are potty training a child and that he has a poop and tinkle accident in his underwear right when you are feeling the worst.
Wait for all of this to take place right after your husband gets a promotion and gets transferred to another location so he's commuting 30 minutes each way, and working 50 hours a week, in addition to trying to get over his own illness so he has no more energy than you do in the few minutes he is home.
Make sure it is at LEAST 100 degrees outside and that you have no yard so your kids are always inside and getting cabin fever. Also make sure that they swimming pool in your apartment complex has not been checked off by the health department and gave your boys eye infections the month before, so you can't take your kids to any outside location to release their wiggle and wear them out.
Have downstairs neighbors who pound on the ceiling every time your kids speed walk in the living room.
Don't go grocery shopping for a week before getting sick so there is nothing simple and easy you can think to fix right away, so you have to exert your brain to be creative and sill be somewhat healthy.
Having said all that, I have a few new best friends:
Exercise ball, It's a good thing to sit on instead of a chair (you know, when you're not lying down because that rarely happens when kids are awake) because it's most cushy and you can move around on it to ease some of that achiness in your lower back that comes from being sick. You can also kneel on the floor and hug it and rock to ease aches in your upper back.
TV. Yes I said that. I don't think kids should watch TV all day, every day, but if your wonderful brother sent them a movie they love and it's wholesome and not annoying, it's a good thing if you're so light headed that you can't keep switching rooms to check on them. I also use this when someone has a tummy bug so they don't jump around and make things even worse. Just make sure that you go back to regular activity and only a little TV when you're better or it won't work as well (voice of experience here).
Ramen noodles. These were a staple in college, but I don't usually use them now because I try to go all whole wheat and low sodium, but they're easy to make when your head is throbbing and they will fill up your kids so they're happy. The other day I improvised and used thin spaghetti, beef bouillon, and parsley. The kids LOVED it! After lunch they asked me if they could have that for dinner too, I made something similar, but with more nutrition. (ground beef, egg noddle, fresh tomato, Italian diced tomatoes (canned), onion and garlic powder, parsley, basil and oregano, corn, cheese. Cheese makes everything taste good)
Youtube. I looked up some somewhat education videos yesterday about tornadoes and it kept my five year old enthralled for a while and helped with the education aspect.
Play-doh. My kids got a big case with lots of play-doh varieties this past Christmas and it is wonderful. That's actually what my 3 year old is doing right now! We make sure that they only use it at the kitchen table and only make impressions in it with things mom or dad approve of to avoid the headache of play-doh in the carpet or on stuffed animals. And the neighbors usually don't band on the ceiling when my kids play with play-doh (they have little kids too, so I don't know when they expect the living room to be quiet in the middle of the day, and they let their toddle bang on the horn in their car when my kids are napping and I don't open the windows and through rotten fruit at them or anything. I normally try not to gripe about people, but I'm sick so I'm allowed this once.
Fruit and ice cream. Things that are easy to chew and easy to swallow so as to not make the headache worse. Chocolate ice cream, watermelon, and bananas are dietary staples right now.
Ibuprofen. Normally I don't take any kinds of medicine. I've only had a little pain med to take the edge off when I had two of my kids, nothing with the other (and I was induced, they were all over 8 pounds, all posterior, and the one with no pain meds at all was 10 pound 4 ounces!), and then an ibuprofen afterwords, but other than that I really don't take pain meds. Now though, I've had to take something just so I can walk around! I take the minimum dose, since I rarely use medicine this seems to work pretty well for me, and only when I absolutely need it, it's been wonderful!
Water. Before I started my own family, I was in the Army, and there water is the cure to every ailment. There is a lot of truth to that though, your body can't regulate temperature if it's dehydrated, so it's good in hot and cold, dehydration can cause headaches and poor judgement, and it can help you body flush out bad things. I haven't noticed a difference with t hings like ache and sprained ankles, but my drill sergeants in basic training swore it would work! Either way, it helps be be less light headed and wakes me up with I'm feeling woozy.
Sorry for the complete randomness of this post, but not so sorry that I won't publish it. :)

50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir
Champagne Taittinger are one of the few Grande Marque Houses that are still family owned and run. Presiding over this fabulous estate is Pierre-Emanuel Taittinger who is assisted by his children Clovis and Vitalie. With over 650 hectares of their own vineyards, Taittinger control much of their own production, with much of the vineyard being of Grand Cru classification. In the 1960s a prescient decision was made by Pierre-Emanuel's great-uncle Francois to focus the House's resources around Chardonnay and to pursue a vision of lightness and delicacy which has become a hallmark of the Taittinger style enjoyed today. The Taittinger cuvees also benefit from a longer aging process than is required under Champagne regulations delivering wines that have a subtle elegance with an underlying persistence of flavour and length that see the wines consistently score well in international tastings as well as with sommeliers from around the world.
"Made from equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this still young Champagne is rich in the Taittinger style, with an elegant poise that is impressive. The wine, with its apricot and ripe apple fruit, is generously tempered by bright acidity and a crisp edge."
"Taittinger's 2012 Millésime Brut is a stainless steel-fermented blend of 50% Côte ded Blancs Chardonnay and 50% Montagne de Reims Pinot Noir bottled in 2013. It offers a clear and elegant, intensely aromatic and fruity bouquet of sweet cherries along with hazelnut and some incense flavors. It is a round, intense and well-structured yet fine Champagne with ripe and almost juicy fruit and a tight, still restrained finish. A bit sweet for my nordic taste, but this is a mouthful of Brut. Disgorged with nine grams of dosage in January 2017. Tasted in November 2017." Drink 2018 - 2028

Brexit - Our Perspective
June 24, 2016
Britain's decision to exit the European Union has brought with it all the expected trappings of a significant news event — projections of crazy market volatility, wild headlines and a fair dose of uncertainty about the long-term impact on the global economy and our individual financial lives here at home. Many questions immediately arise as we pay close attention to how the event will play out in the weeks and months to come. But our perspective is the same as it has always been in times like these. Your financial plan is built with diversification and your personal risk tolerance in mind — it's designed to weather the ups and downs that inevitably follow significant world happenings. Jared Kizer, Chief Investment Officer for the BAM ALLIANCE, reminds us of this and offers an overview of the developments below: 1. What did British voters decide?
To the surprise of many — including stock and bond markets — Britain voted to leave the European Union (EU) by a margin of 52 percent in favor of leaving (i.e., "Brexit") and 48 percent in favor of remaining. The general belief from the economic community is that this decision will weaken the British and European economies since Britain both imported and exported a significant amount of its economic consumption and production, respectively, to continental Europe.
2. How have markets reacted?
At the time of this writing, stock markets have fallen precipitously and bond interest rates have dropped as well. With the exception of precious metals, commodity markets are also generally down, and the British pound has dropped by about 8 percent against the U.S. dollar.
3. Why have markets reacted so violently?
Without question, the primary reason is that markets had incorporated a belief that Britain would remain in the EU. Stock markets had been up significantly over the last couple of weeks, and interest rates had started to move back up after being lower earlier in the month. These movements were generally believed to be an indication that the market expected Britain would remain in the EU.
Because the vote did not go as most expected, stock markets are giving back those gains and more, and interest rates are now falling instead of increasing. We emphasize, though, that while these market moves have been swift, this is normal market behavior when a significant event (like Britain leaving the EU) turns out differently than what the market had anticipated.

Mallorca to face holders Depor in Cup semis
MANZANO´S MEN FACE VALENCIA ON SUNDAY: FULL PREVIEW TOMORROWMatthew O'Connor
IF Real Mallorca want to win this season's Copa del Rey they are going to have to do it the hard way. Their reward for sweeping past European Champions Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals is a semi-final date with holders Deportivo de La Coruña. Yesterday's draw pitted Recreativo Huelva against Osasuna in the other semi-final. Deportivo, who won the Cup last season after upsetting Real Madrid's centenary celebrations in the final at the Bernabeu, currently sit two positions above seventh place Mallorca in the league. A clash between the two teams will throw up some interesting returns. Former Mallorca strikers Albert Luque and Diego Tristan are both now plying their trade with Depor, while the Islander's leading scorer this season, Walter Pandiani, is on loan from the Galicians. While Mallorca thumped Real Madrid 4-0 in the quarter-final second leg on Wednesday night, Deportivo scraped their way past second division Murcia on away goals (4-4 on aggregate), after a thrilling 4-3 second-leg defeat on Thursday night. Facing the reigning champions is a daunting task for us, Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano told Radio Marca after hearing the draw. But despite facing such a difficult obstacle I still believe we have a 50-50 chance of realising our dream of making another cup final. Mallorca, who have never won the Cup, last reached the final in 1998 when they lost out on penalties to Barcelona. Before any thoughts of the Cup, though, Mallorca must first face Valencia tomorrow in the league at the daunting Mestalla, a stadium in which the Islanders have never won a league match.
Semi-final draw
Deportivo v Real Mallorca
Recreativo Huelva v Osasuna
The ties are to be played over two legs. They are scheduled for the weeks commencing February 3 and March 3.

We spent a beautiful morning at the Red Springs meadow, near Red Rock Canyon. The autumn colors are in full display. The vibrant yellows and reds were quite a sight to see. I saw this leaf, backlit by the sun, and instantly thought of a flame. This photo was in my head before I pressed the shutter. My lovely assistant/girlfriend Beatriz kindly stuck her hands out to cover the lens from the sun's glare. I love this shot.
This photo will be available in print by this evening! Check the "Prints" section.

Award Certificate Template And Award Certificate Template Psd With Free Printable Student Award Certificate Template Plus Award Certificate Template Word Free
Most Popular This Week
They will take care of the printing and youll have a professional certificate on quality paper that your customers could not help but notice in your shop. This season of giving why not consider giving away certificates to your family members friends or even valued clients? A printable certificate entitles the receiver to free services or discounts on goods that are on sale from the issuing store. Traditionally certificates that businesses issue are printed on colorful and elaborate pieces of special paper. A gift-cert. serves dual purposes - a voucher that the receiver can claim and an advertisement for the giving party. These days it is easier for small businesses to give away gift-card certificates to their clients by using gift-certificate templates.
Even though the quality of the certificate will probably still be inferior to a professional design. 3- Customize it easily You can customize additional information by simply pointing clicking and typing. It should not take you more than a minute to fill entirely a gift certificate form. Plus if you want to print several certificates you can easily change specific information for each certificate (for example recipients name and purchasers name). 4- No software to install One big advantage of using a website hosting certificate templates is that you dont have anything to install or configure. Just go to the website select a template customize it and print it. No software to download no complicated menus to navigate no problems to choose fonts... All these problems have already been thought of and taken care of.
Most Popular This Week
Relax and focus on getting the certificate of your choice printed. 5- Branding: match the certificate with your business Its important for your branding that the certificate matches what your business does or alternatively that it matches the occasion: so for your spa gift voucher you might want a spa themed gift voucher. If youre selling a gift voucher for valentines day then you might want a valentines day gift voucher. When selecting a template online make sure that the theme of the certificate is a good match. Fortunately template sites have a wide selection of templates so you should find what youre looking for! 6- Ready to Print The only things you need is paper and ink for your printer. Well actually its not even necessary. You could even save the certificate as a PDF file on your computer or a USB key and bring it to the local printer shop.

Available with Silent charger series and other Li-po chargers.
MuchMore's exclusive balancing program provides +30% quicker balancing time than current balancer in the market.
The MuchMore LiPo Cell Balancer is designed to regulate the voltages of all cells in a lithium-polymer (LiPo) pack to very tight tolerances during charge and discharge functions. As opposed to non-balanced packs, balanced LiPo's typically provide higher total voltage, which means more power to the motor system. In addition, balanced LiPo packs generally last longer as no individual cell ever becomes over-charged, which is a big reason why some LiPo's perform inadequately. A good balancing system also provides a very safe charging and discharging platform, which is critical when handling LiPo batteries.
Cell Balancer is designed to balance LiPo packs containing anywhere from 2 to 6 cells which are assembled in series. Cell Balancer will keep the voltages of all cells in the pack within 20mV (0.02V) of each other at all times.
|Compatible Input Devices:
|LiPo chargers and dischargers ONLY
|(operation based on nominal cell voltage of 3.7V per cell)
|Cell Balancing Range:
|2-series to 6-series LiPo packs(7.4 – 22.2V)
|Max. Current (chg or dsch):
|6 amps
|Discharge Termination:
|individual cell voltages 2.90V per cell
|Discharge Current:
|140mA per cell (Auto-Balance Mode)
|Physical Dimensions:
|125 x 46.5 x28mm

Latest Movie Releases: Week of August 19

|Angel Has Fallen
|The Death and Life of John F. Donovan
|Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles
Robby Hoffman is an original comedy voice whose writing and delivery on stage puts her at the top of the stand-up game.
Let's start with some honesty: the original version of this 2019 Winnipeg Folk Festival preview piece was almost complete when a couple accidental clicks of the mouse sent hours of work into the digital ether.
Nick Nemeroff is a Montreal comic who has been a mainstay in the Toronto comedy scene for the past few years, winning Best Newcomer and Best Breakout Comic at the 2017 and 2018 I Heart Joke Awards. He's made appearances at Montreal's Just for Laughs and Comedy Central's Clusterfest, and his comedy has been described as "aggressively deadpan".
The right thing isn't always easy; sometimes it's hard and ugly.
The plan to keep Jack in the box has failed miserably. Now free from its confines, Jack unleashes his power on Castiel and the Winchesters before taking off. Now that Jack has proven more dangerous than ever, Dean thinks the only solution is to put the monster down that killed his mother.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
After the loss of Mary Winchester, the hunters gather to say their goodbyes but the time for grieving is short. With Jack still out there, Bobby refuses to sit around and plans on doing everything he can to track the Nephilim down. In his determination to save him, Castiel reaches out to heaven and meets with Duma.
A shell, incapable of holding life.
After arriving back at the bunker, Sam and Dean expected to see Jack and Mary but find themselves alone. When Dean calls Mary, him and Sam hear her phone in the room and know that something is wrong. They call Jack but he doesn't answer. They track his phone only to find him hopping across the planet from one continent to the next.
No turning back.
While getting ready for game night at the bunker, Dean has an alarming voicemail from Donatello – begging for help before speaking a mysterious language. Dean and Mary rush to his home only to find Nick waiting for them. He has Donatello and injected him with a lethal dose of poison. If they want to find him they have to give him what he wants.
If you hear a whistle, run.
After a girl is found dead in the woods in Iowa from a strange animal attack, Sam digs deeper and has found that several people have been found dead the in the same area across the past few decades. It's a case and one that will get him and Dean out of the bunker.
WWWD. What would the Winchesters do?
Still reeling from the loss of Maggie and the other hunters, Sam is running the tea ragged going from one hunt to the next. After he finds a new case where a man's head exploded inside of a gas station, Dean puts his foot down and insists that they need to slow down.
It's all about Dean.
While tracking the strange killings of several people, the latest case has the Winchesters in New Mexico where they are once again too late to stop the monster. The gang notices that both of the victim's eyes have been removed – something that leaves all of them puzzles.

My oldest child's birthday is tomorrow and I will then officially have a teenager in the house.
"Is there anything special you want to do?" I asked her this morning. She shrugged her shoulder in a very grown up way and pushed her blonde hair away from her blue eyes, "Six flags?"
Yep…ANOTHER sign. The girls are pining for – water – the ocean. Daughters # 1 and #2 were both born on Cape Cod. On the day Daughter #1 was born, I looked out the window of my hospital room. It overlooked the water and even though it was a typical New England winter day, a couple of boats were tied to the pier. The golden sun glittered off the rippling water and it was a bit hard to tell what the temperature actually WAS outside.
When Daughter #2 was born, my room again overlooked the water, but it was summer this time, and fun-looking relaxed people sunned themselves on their boats and I clearly remember a champagne toast at sunset that evening in late August. This time the sun reflected off fine crystal and shattered into a million different pieces on deck.

If you have to comply, what do you have to do?
As part of the duty of care owed to students, teachers are required to administer first aid when necessary within the limits of their skill, expertise and training.
It should be noted that a teacher's duty is greater than that of the ordinary citizen in that a teacher is obliged to assist an injured student, while the ordinary citizen may choose to do nothing.
In the case of serious injury or illness, neither the principal nor the teacher is required to diagnose or treat the condition apart from carrying out the appropriate first aid procedures. Diagnosis and treatment are the responsibility of the ambulance officer or medical practitioner in attendance.
First Aid Training
For Government schools the minimum acceptable level of First Aid training for school staff is Provide First Aid – HLTAID003. An annual refresher of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) HLTAID001 is also applicable to staff who are First Aid trained. Independent Schools may wish to use this as a guide.
The range of activities undertaken by schools means that the number of staff to be trained in First Aid is a requirement set by the school, taking into account associated risks and duty of care obligations. In identifying the number of staff to be trained, principals will need to take into account factors such as the nature of the activities and their location, potential hazards and risks, and previous accidents and injuries.
What are the consequences if you don't comply?
You may be in breach of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic) and your duty of care obligations.

Hi, I'm Lindsay
Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
and Certified Personal Trainer
With 5+ years of coaching experience, here at Walk On The Healthy Side, I've had the privilege to work with hundreds of people from all over the globe. I want to show people that anything and everything is possible. If you dream it, you can have it. I am filled with passion for what I do and have so much love and excitement when it comes to teaching on all things health, fitness and mindset. It's my mission to always go the extra mile for my clients, and I would be honored to do the same for you.
I recently completed the 3 Month Health Transformation with Lindsay and oh my gosh! It was an amazing experience. Everything about my life has changed from my diet, mood, health, appearance, just everything. I feel so confident in making food decisions and stronger than ever in balancing my hectic schedule, a social life, and most importantly being healthy. I genuinely love eating healthy now and exercising has become an integral part of my life that I can't imagine being without. In three months I have lost 11lbs, healed some serious gut issues, identified some food intolerances, and literally healed my acne. It's amazing.
My bi-weekly sessions with Lindsay were awesome. Talking with her is like talking to one of your really close friends who also happens to be one of your smartest, most caring friends. She is so open, honest, and real about her journey and experiences and really makes you feel like you are on this journey together. She gave me so many resources and I always felt like I had someone in my corner, especially during the tougher adjustment periods. I am so excited about my new life and journey and I am so thankful to have found Lindsay. If you're hesitating at all about working with her, JUST DO IT! You won't regret it!
The Magic Of Three
As a nutrition coach, I help you create a vision, goals, and personalized clean eating plan so you can make a radiant change in your life.
As a personal trainer, I teach you how to maximize your workouts and develop a fitness plan that you feel empowered by and confident in.
As a mindset coach, I help you break through limiting beliefs, raise your standards, and step into your power to create a life you desire.
About Me
My journey to health coaching began in college after extensive medical testing provided no solutions for digestive struggles I was having.
It forced me to look at the foods I was eating, my eating habits and lifestyle to determine the root of my ailments. With determination, education, and research, I discovered the connection between what I put in my body and how I felt. By slowly making changes to my diet and lifestyle, I freed myself from pain, depression, anxiety, low energy and 20+ lbs. of extra weight.
After this transformation, seeing people around me suffering with similar issues inspired me to share my knowledge and guide others to feel strong, vibrant and become their best self.
My clients would not be where they are today if I solely taught them healthy eating habits or how to properly train in the gym. My approach digs deeper and develops lifestyle changes that produce lasting results. This is not another diet or fitness program. It is a combination of nutrition, fitness and mindset which has transformed my life and my clients' lives. I'm passionate and confident that I can help you finally feel fit, healthy, and confident as you step out into the world every single day.

Our Family is Proud to Serve Yours
Feeding the world's love of their pets.
Profitable Growth Through Quality, Value, Service and Innovation
Family owned and operated for more than 50 years, Sunshine Mills, Inc. is proud to serve the world's pets with a whole variety of foods and treats at value prices. We own and operate multiple plants within the U.S.A. so we control the quality of our products from start to finish. Each plant is certified for food safety to ensure that each and every batch we produce is perfect in every way. Sunshine Mills has developed through four generations as a truly American family business. Headquartered in the rural north Alabama town of Red Bay, the company began as a producer of animal feed in 1949 under the direction of Omer Bullen and his son-in-law, Fred Bostick, Jr. The business continued to grow and pet food was added to the production lineup in 1960 in a pelleted form. John Bostick joined the team in the early 70's and helped develop Sunshine's economy dog foods into more complete lines. Over the next several years the Sunshine, Field Trial, and Cat Café brands grew to be leaders in value across much of the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Alan Bostick took over the reins as President and CEO in 1984 and has continued the progress and foresight of his grandfather, father and brother, expanding their product line and geographic reach to eventually include all of the United States and more than 30 countries worldwide. Today, our products are marketed under various Sunshine brands as well as private label offerings. These items can be purchased at most of the major retailers across the USA including mass merchandisers, grocery, value discount, clubs, pet specialty, hardware and the farm & feed channels. As much as we have grown, we have never lost our focus on family values. Our pets are a part of our family. That's why we at Sunshine Mills do everything in our power to craft carefully designed food and treats to help you maintain your pet's health and happiness for many years to come.
"Thank you for making the grain free Evolve. My baby Oscar (bassett hound) has severe allergies and this is the only dog food he can eat without scratching to death and his nose dries out peels and cracks open. I was so happy to find Evolve. Please never stop making it."

Mark Millis passed away on Saturday 26th January 2019.
With Mark Millis' passing, Flavorite has lost a passionate Australian glasshouse pioneer in the fresh food business. Mark was one of the founders of Flavorite who shared and delivered his vision to grow and supply flavoursome glasshouse tomatoes and other fresh produce throughout the year.
"Mark will be remembered fondly by his family and those who have worked alongside him", the company shares in a Facebook post. "We would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mark's family."
Founding Flavorite
After a heart attack at age 40, Mark began a quest to live a less stressful but fulfilling life, giving up his job at the wholesale fruit markets in Victoria where he'd mainly sold bananas, and on occasion, tomatoes. Tired of some tomato offerings that were "like cricket balls", he purchased a small farm in Tynong and tried his hand with open field tomatoes.
"It was a pretty rocky road and I didn't like growing out in the paddock," Mark told Rijk Zwaan in a December 2018 interview.
He battled with inclement weather for five years before building a small greenhouse.
"I had five sons and I wanted them to be part of it, so I handed my seven-year-old a bag of nuts and bolts and said to him to fit the shed together. The two older boys put the gutters on and we went from there."
Mark says there were many learnings in the beginning and they contracted every disease and insect imaginable.
He used his contacts in the markets to sell tomatoes and over time, it became clear that there was a demand for his product and he needed to increase production to increase profits. In 1993, he approached a long-time friend and fresh produce marketer, Warren Nichol, to go into partnership.
"Even though he'd never sold tomatoes, glasshouse tomatoes in Victoria were a new business so it was a very appealing product. I said to him straight out, 'I think you can sell these Warren, we can create a new market for them'."
Warren had a farm at Warragul and with their own money bravely backing the venture the duo built more greenhouses. By 1994, they were picking 120 tonnes of tomatoes a year on 3,000 square metres, while working with 30 smaller growers who utilised their packing shed. Since they already had connections with the supermarkets, they were able to supply Coles and Safeway with truss tomatoes, sold as singles. In 1999, Mark and Warren began packing smaller fruit on a truss, a move that revolutionised their business.
"I was very surprised when we started growing trusses because the demand was so strong," Mark said.
"I wouldn't say I was a perfectionist but I like things to be really good and we did have a fantastic product."
