Cypress Wood Ceilings
Do you feel like your outdoor kitchen or outdoor living space is missing something? Are you annoyed with the way the ceiling is finished in your outdoor entertaining space? We have the perfect solution for you! Go outside, look up, and imagine a beautiful cypress wood ceiling as that finishing touch! We truly believe it will help complete and act as that missing piece for your entire outdoor living space.
We offer a variety of sizes, grades, styles, and colors. We can work with you to find the perfect match that will complete your pool deck, patio, or lanai. All options are installed through a tongue and groove method, interlocking the wood pieces for the perfect finish.
We also make sure to properly install them, not cutting corners during the installation process. Unlike some of our competitors, we will properly secure each wood plank to your trusses or beams – making sure you will never run into any issues of the wood detaching from your ceiling. We utilize matching trim misses as a border, giving your cypress wood ceiling a complete finished look. We can adjust the direction and angles of the planks to fit any tight corners of spaces in your outdoor living space.
One of the main reasons we prefer Cypress is because it is readily available, fast-growing, and will withstand the harsh Southwest Florida environment well. Your Cypress wood ceiling will experience minimal to no effects from the humidity and moisture that comes with our weather patterns. It will truly stand the test of time!
After installing numerous Cypress wood ceilings, we believe it provides the perfect finishing touch to any outdoor living space. Your friends and family will be in awe at the beauty it adds to your outdoor entertaining space.

In fact, we'd much rather enjoy working with you to create and build something completely unique and exciting than to work with the guy down the street who wants a "kitchen-in-a-box". Yes, we can do those if we have to. That's life (sigh). But what we really like to do is pull out those colored pencils (Okay, it's actually done on a computer but you get the idea) and draw up something completely from scratch based on asking you some simply questions about what you like. Come on. Give us a call. We're waiting.

It can be difficult to go home for the holidays. It can be even more difficult for members of the LGBTQ community, according to Arielle Scherrer of the LGBTQ Resource Center.
The LGBTQ Resource Center opened its doors to students and members of the community Wednesday to celebrate Friendsgiving.
"The purpose of this event is to create a safe place for LGBTQ students who cannot go home for the holidays and have to go back into the closet and hide who they are," Scherrer said. "This is a meal and an event where people can just be themselves and enjoy the company of others."
Friendsgiving is a trend in which friend groups and organizations have a Thanksgiving-style meal with their friends, peers or community members, usually prior to Thanksgiving Day.
This event has been seen in many student organizations and friend groups throughout the season, and the LGBTQ Resource Center has provided another safe space for members of the community to gather together and enjoy a meal.
"I came in part because I believe the LGBTQ Resource Center is this incredible place for students and for staff," Dean of Students Nasha Torrez said. "I was hoping that I could meet students and help support them and let them know that over the holidays (the University) is still always a place full of people who will love them and share a meal with them."
The resource center was filled with conversations and laughter as people gathered to share food and good times. Seating started to run low due to the high turnout.
"It's important to have a space for LGBTQ to build a community and create alternative forms of family because sometimes people don't have their own," Scherrer said.
According to a Greenberg Research study, the holidays can cause high levels of distress for lower income individuals or individuals placed in situations that cause more pressure to perform more duties to please others during meals and events. This tension can also have a negative effect on those who face exclusion, have hostile family relationships or who do not have family to spend the holiday with.
"Sometimes students don't have a place to go home to, so it's nice to remind them that the University can be a home away from home," Torrez said. "This home can help them in a lot of different ways, and (home) doesn't have to just be the people who are your blood relatives."

Axelsen, David (2017). 'CAPABILITIES AND SUFFICIENCY' Paper presented at the annual conference of the HDCA, Cape Town 2017.
When discussing and applying the capability approach, we are often confronted with questions about which capabilities we should seek to enhance, how much we should do so, how we should trade off different capabilities against each other and why it is important that everyone has a certain set and level of capabilities. Theories of justice helps us assess such questions by setting out what everyone is owed - which obstacles or capability-deficiencies are unjust - and why. Both Martha Nussbaum (2000, 2006) and Amartya Sen (1999, 2005) have made important developments in these areas but the distributive consequences of their accounts remain underspecified. Generally, however, it has often been assumed that capabilitarian theories of justice are sufficientarian – that is, they hold that justice is fulfilled when everyone has enough or a sufficient level of capabilities (Anderson 1999, Nielsen & Axelsen 2016, Wolff & de-Shalit 2007). It has not been shown, however, that sufficiency is the best distributive partner for the capability approach, and, thus, this should not merely be assumed. This panel engages with questions of sufficiency and the critiques levelled against it (e.g. by Casal 2007) and is particularly interested in how such an account connects with the framework of the capability approach, how thresholds that are crucial to a sufficientarian account based on a capability account can be constructed and defended, the appropriate virtues and norms that states should seek to instill to underpin and bolster sufficientarian distributive justice, and, more broadly, how such an ideal may influence policy and processes of social change on local, global and/or intergenerational levels.
(This panel is under the heading of foundational issues)

What is the Mandate of An Orthodontist? One can refer to the above as a medical practitioner who after undergoing a special training graduates in the field of dentistry. Teeth form basic parts of the body and should be taken care of without fail. Teeth forms an aesthetic part of the body not forgetting that they are involved in chewing. There is no doubt that smiling appears brighter when a person has healthy teeth. For one, care of teeth involves taking a balanced diet. Calcium, a component that strengthens teeth should be included in the diet and be in plenty. Some of the benefits derived from brushing teeth twice a day include prevention of tooth decay and mouths ache. But teeth complications are likely to occur even after all the above is practiced. Although teeth problems can be experienced by anyone, the most vulnerable are the sick, old age, children and pregnant women. Other that treating dental irregularities a patient may have, an orthodontist works hand in hand with a patient to ensure that their demands are fully met. This article will give you an insight of duties and responsibilities of an orthodontist. The first responsibility is referred to as examination. An orthodontist confirms availability after a patient after booking. On this day, a patient arrives at the orthodontist working area for teeth examination. Teeth examination involves a couple of procedures. The first thing that a doctor chooses to do is to check on the medical history of the patient. It is possible to find some teeth problems being associated with diseases that have affected the client in the past. It is also the duty of an orthodontist to assess the teeth of the client very closely. In this case, problems related to teeth are identified. In addition, the jaw structure of a client is well assessed to come up with the right treatment. In order to come with the best solution to client's problems, an orthodontist may decide to take ex-rays or photos of the client's teeth. Treatment is the next responsibility of an orthodontist. Here, the dentist compares the different treatment options at disposal. The most suitable treatment option is arrived at by negotiating with a client. Other than surgery, other methods of treatment include use of spacers, bracers, retainers and headgears. Prior explanations to clients on matters involving finances ensures demands of clients are fully met. Treatment costs are sometimes catered by the insurance covers. The final duties of an orthodontist involve treatment and teeth maintenance. After settling on a suitable mode of treatment, an orthodontist administers the most suitable treatment option. This is achieved by applying dental installation. It is possible for dental installation to engage a number of appointments and in this, teeth maintenance becomes applicable here. A client sometimes is given different sessions for checkups and this depends on the doctor's choice of treatment. Once treatment plan elapses, orthodontists discharge their patients. Patients are overjoyed when positive outcome is realized at the end of all procedures.
A Simple Plan For Researching Dentists

CrossFit Mommy Blog Part Two
By Coach Rachelle
My postpartum CrossFit journey has not been anything near what I expected. I worked out my entire pregnancy, still setting PRs (like my 135# snatch, oh how I miss you!) and managing to RX many WODs along the way. In fact, I RX'd the WOD on Cole's due date. Not bragging – just setting the stage to make it all that much easier to understand how my reality and expectations for postpartum CrossFit life were quickly shattered.
When I got pregnant, I was the fittest I had ever been in my life. I've never been, nor will I ever be, a Regionals-caliber CrossFitter, but I could confidently say I was the "world's most okay-est CrossFitter." 😉 Since I was able to continue working out during my pregnancy "pretty easily," making modifications and scaling as appropriate, I thought that after the standard 8-week postpartum recovery period, I'd be able to get back at it and return to my old CrossFit self in no time. Even those around me were confident that I'd "bounce back – give it three months, no problem!" However, time would prove that wouldn't be my reality.
But before I get to what CrossFit has been like for me postpartum, let's address how labor and birth affected my postpartum journey. Being that I was so active during my pregnancy, I am stubborn by nature, I am very flexible and have good mobility, and have a high tolerance for pain, I was confident that I was ready for the intensity of labor. I knew labor was going to be VERY HARD, VERY PAINFUL, and EXHAUSTING, but I was ready. I welcomed it as a challenge to overcome. Being a "California hippy" at heart, I wanted to have an unmedicated birth. (Everyone's birth plan is a very PERSONAL CHOICE and there is no right or wrong way to do it. I chose my birth plan because it's what my husband and I felt was the best choice for us, and I respect the choices that everyone else makes with their birth plan, no matter how much it may or may not resemble our own. Seriously, when it comes to birth – to each their own!) Anyways, to make a long story short, when it came time for Cole to arrive, NOTHING went according to plan. I labored for nearly 15 hours without an epidural. He went into distress, his heart rate was plummeting, and I was sent off to the O.R. for an emergency C-section. Since I hadn't had an epidural and they had to get him out IMMEDIATELY, I had to be put completely under.
As in, I wasn't awake when he was born.
Let that sink in for a minute…
You can probably imagine, to this day, the heartache I feel for not having been "present" for the birth of my son.
Since my birth experience took a dramatically different course than I expected, my recovery and return to CrossFit couldn't have been any further from my expectations. Y'all a C-section is NO JOKE. It baffles me to think there are actually people who believe it's the "easy way out." IT'S NOT. It's major abdominal surgery with the potential for serious and fatal complications and sometimes a not-so-pleasant recovery. To this day, almost a year postpartum, I STILL have tenderness and occasional pain in my lower abdomen.
After having Cole, returning to CrossFit has been a very long and slow-moving journey. There have been many times where I felt like I was moving backwards. When I was given clearance to start working out, I still believed that despite the physical toll the C-section had taken on my body, I could "bounce back in three months, no problem." I just had to focus, right? Go to the gym 5-6 times a week like I used to? Meal prep like I once did? Get plenty of sleep every night? The reality is that my baby and family are now my number one priority. I'd LOVE to focus on my fitness, meal prepping, and working out as much as I used to – it's just not realistic at this point in my life. Those things have taken a backseat to being a mom and caring for my baby.
With a very physically traumatic birth (I can't even begin to describe the physical pain I was in for months, the amount of bruising I had, the numbness in my midsection that lasted well over half a year, the tenderness I still experience on a regular basis), CrossFit postpartum has been very PHYSICALLY challenging. I remember the first time I tried to do toes-to-bar after returning to the gym – my lower abdomen felt like it was being ripped in half. Sit ups, same thing. I was quickly hit with the harsh reality that my body PHYSICALLY wasn't going to be returning to normal anytime soon, if ever.
In addition to physical setbacks, I've been an EMOTIONAL wreck. With a birth that, in my eyes, went so terribly wrong, I felt like a failure (and still do). I felt like I had failed my son, my husband, and myself. And while the doctor and nurses did everything right and I was well taken care of, the actual experience of an emergency C-section was beyond traumatizing and has seriously screwed me up. It took me a long time to realize that I was suffering from postpartum depression and postpartum PTSD (yes, that's a real thing). Here's the thing about postpartum depression and PTSD – they are not "one size fits all." They manifest themselves in all sorts of ways: anxiety, depression, crying, worrying, lack of motivation, self-harm, obsessive behaviors, eating disorders, reclusiveness, social anxieties, and so on. I had someone ask me at one point if I thought I had postpartum depression (at the time, I didn't realize I did) and when I said no, they said "Yeah, you don't look depressed." Y'all - just because I washed my hair and put eyeliner on, doesn't mean I didn't also spend over an hour crying on the shower floor, full of self-hating thoughts. Depression doesn't LOOK like anything in particular.
Now, you're probably wondering what the heck this has to do with my CrossFit journey…. imagine that you're dealing with all this emotional turmoil and then the ONE THING that once made you feel REALLY good about yourself (CrossFit, for me in this case) now makes you feel like a failure too. THAT SUCKS. THAT REALLY, REALLY SUCKS. I found myself crying after every workout (sometimes at the gym; sometimes I was able to keep it together long enough until the car ride home). "I suck at birth. I suck as a mother. I suck as a wife. And now I suck at CrossFit too." There have LITERALLY been days where I've said to my husband, "I'm done with CrossFit! DONE! What's the point?" I know, dramatic, right? But this is real life! This is what it feels like to try to live in the shadow of your former CrossFit self.
In addition to all this, sleep deprivation has played a major role in how difficult my "comeback" has been. My sweet boy was once a good sleeper. Then, that first sleep regression hit and nothing has been the same since. I have gone probably over eight months on very, very, very, VERY little sleep. On the rare occasion where I do manage to get some sleep the night before, the difference in how I feel and my performance in the gym is unbelievable. Ryan's recent post on the importance of sleep couldn't be any more accurate. And I didn't truly appreciate the value of getting enough sleep, until it wasn't an option for me anymore.
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "Could she complain anymore? Shouldn't she just be grateful to have a healthy baby?" I am beyond grateful. My son is the most incredible blessing in the world and I'd give my life for him, HANDS DOWN. Here's the thing - as women and mothers, there are so many expectations of us. But that doesn't mean we don't have feelings. So many things are still considered "too taboo" to discuss in our society, but it's important that we try and talk about it because sooooo many women and mothers deal with these sorts of things on a regular basis. I am sharing my story in hopes that other moms will know they aren't alone. That our stories of struggle are the NORM, not the exception - they just aren't talked about nearly enough. When you read all three blogs from Morgan, Becka and myself in this "3-part CrossFit Mom" series, you'll notice that despite each of us having very different stories, there are some very similar underlying themes throughout our journeys.
It's taken almost a year for me a slowly forgive myself for not being the athlete I once was and expected to be postpartum. These days, instead of getting upset with myself, I am very grateful if I'm able to make it to the gym more than twice a week and I am ELATED if I manage to get within 20lbs of any previous PRs. Land a top 5 stop on the leaderboard for that day's WOD? MY MONTH HAS BEEN MADE!
For me now, it's about showing up and having a good time with my friends and staying active enough to set a healthy example for my son. I hope that with time, as he gets older and life maybe becomes a little less crazy, I will be able to work out a little more regularly and focus on my fitness a bit more. In the meantime, I will try to forgive myself for not being the athlete I once was and instead indulge in all these sweet baby snuggles and kisses while I still can because those too, like my current lack of fitness, will one day be a distant memory.

More than a book, a manifesto focused on a better care for patients
"The Writing on the wall" is a book about love, art, care and resilience.
First of all, this is the very first book I read in english and it is very meaningfull to me. This book is the story of Regina Holliday, activist, artist, speaker, author and founder of The Walking Gallery of Healthcare. This is the story of Regina from her childhood in Oklahoma to her patient advocacy after the lost of her husband Fred. She is also called the Rosa Parks of healthcare.
This book is very moving, inspiring and powerfull and it SHOULD be read by everyone interested by healthcare. This book should be read by doctors, oncologists, healthcare team, caregivers, providers, students in healthcare fields…
What happened to her husband shocked me a lot. Regina's husband, Fred was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer in March 2009, he died three months later.
I am french, living in France and I have the chance to benefit to a free heathcare system. What I read make me nauseous. I didn't think US healtcare system could be as bad about patients care. For me, it was surrealistic. I know US are better than us about integrative medicine but I'm very worried about the healthcare system and the costs of insurance, the brutality, the access to medical records for patients… Wherever you live in the world, this book concerns you. Because we are all patients and we have to fight for our rights.
The World Health Organization didn't defines "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."? It did it, in 1948!
There is a video about 73 Cents, the mural who was the beggining of everything about Regina's patient advocacy.
I chose an extract of Regina's book :
"Why do we have more transparency in Special Education law then in Medical Care? Why do we have more access to information on a Box of Cheerios then on a medical chart? Why do medical records personnel think the Freedom of Information act does not apply to them? We need to do something. The system is broken. It is up to us to fix it. People tell me just concentrate on your husband, your family. Too many people have quietly done that. Too many wonderful fathers, mothers and children are gone. Too many graves have flowers on them. I will fight. I will not stop. I will not be silenced […] I may be only a mother, a wife, a sales gril, a teacher, an artist, and a caregiver, but I will effect change. I will give all my talent, my abilities, my energy and my belief to helping us all. Someday you will not have to fear a trip at the hospital. You will know you will cared for. No wife or husband will have to fight for the one they love. I will stand up. They will take notice. I will never give up." (The Writing on the wall – p.172/173)

According to Regina, everyone has a story, so what's yours? Come and join the Walking Gallery!

On paper, the process of selling your home seems pretty straightforward—you list your home on the market and hope you get as much or more than you invested into it. Unfortunately, things get a little more complicated in real life when feelings like sellers remorse start to kick in.
Selling your home can be a pretty emotional experience, especially if it's your first home. After all, you've got a lot of memories attached to your home and it's not easy to separate your feelings you experienced while living there from the house itself.
Take a Step Back
It's perfectly normal to feel uneasy about selling your home, but it's important that you come to terms with your feelings before continuing further. As the seller, you've got a big decision to make: do you leave the home on the market or do you decide to keep it?
Naturally, this isn't a decision that should be made on a whim. You'll want to think about the benefits and drawbacks of each scenario and decide whether selling or not is good for your financial health and overall happiness. And if you do choose to sell your house, you need to make sure you don't fall into the same trap many other first-time sellers make and become overly attached to your home.
Here are some tips to keep in mind that will make your selling process easier:
- Don't overdo it with renovations. Some renovating is necessary if your house is old or has excessive wear and tear, but you want to keep it simple so that you don't spend a lot of money doing unnecessary work on the home. Remember, you're not doing renovations because you want the house to look a certain way, so fix the problem and move on.
- Be realistic when pricing your house. Remember, your home has a personal significance to you— not your buyers. Don't let your feelings of attachment cloud your judgement when pricing your home, otherwise you're going to have a hard time selling it. Keep it at market value by looking at the amount similar homes in the area have sold for.
- Work with an experienced real estate agent. Most agents have worked with sellers who've felt uneasy about parting ways with their homes and can walk you through a number of options that make the entire process easier. That way, you'll have a greater likelihood of determining whether it's in your best interest to sell.
If you're planning on selling a home in Florida, the Edge Group at Keller Williams can assist you along the way. Serving all of Florida's hottest markets, the Edge Group has offices in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale, and the Debary area and is happy to connect you with an agent who can help make selling your home quick and easy so you don't have to worry about seller's blues.

Reviews of The Wenlock Arms
Pubman79 (Averaging 3.3 from 86 reviews)
17th Jul 2012 - Actually had to use a map to find it but eventually I did and was pleased i did. What a great pub as many many reviews have said before. This is an establishment that clear doesn't give a toss and is strewn with crap and looks unloved. Somehow it does it in a good way. Its friendly and had about ten people sat round the bar. In fact I was the only person not at the bar as I supped my Aylesbury Not Euro Fizz Pilsner. Such a catchy name for a beer I just had to try it. There were plenty of others on offer and everyone seemed to be drinking ale. Everyone was chatting and having fun and the atmosphere was great at 2 on a rather crappy saturday afternoon (just crappy weather wise). I suspect after my next visit it will have to enter my top ten pubs. Great pub and if you have not been go now you cretin.
fin (Averaging 2.8 from 433 reviews)
2nd Jul 2008 - Popular with the beardy CAMRA drinking types, this pub is all about the ale. There are numerous guest ales on tap and if you tried them all you'd do well to be able to walk out afterwards. It's been a while since it saw a paintbrush and the carpet and toilets are a real let down. However, once you get over the smell of the carpet it's an honest, down to earth locals pub with lots of character. Perhaps the last resting place for all those dispositioned by the Hoxton trendification, it's the kind of place you wish was over the road from your house.

The highly publicized Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data leak has now caused Facebook to investigate various apps on its platform. As a result of this probe, Facebook announced on Monday morning that it had suspended roughly 200 apps.
The company said that all apps on the social media networking platform would undergo a "thorough investigation" into whether they had misused user data. Facebook declined to provide more detail on which apps they suspended, how many people had used them, or what red flags had led them to suspect those apps of misuse.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said the company would examine tens of thousands of apps that could have accessed or collected vast amounts of users' personal information before the site's more restrictive data rules for third-party developers took effect in 2015. The company also said that teams of internal and external experts would conduct interviews and lead on-site inspections of specific apps during its ongoing audit. Thousands of apps have been investigated so far, the company said, adding that any app that refuses to cooperate or failed the audit would be banned from the site.
One of the 200 apps, the personality quiz called myPersonality, was suspended in early April and is under investigation, Facebook officials said. Researchers at the University of Cambridge had set up the app to collect personal information about Facebook users and inform academic research. However, its data may not have been adequately secured, as first reported by New Scientist, which found login credentials for the app's database available online. Another quiz app, developed by Kogan and tapped by Cambridge Analytica, was able to pull detailed data on 87 million people, including from the app's direct users and their friends, who had not overtly consented to the app's use.
"This is clearly a breach of the terms that academics agree to when requesting a collaboration with myPersonality," the University of Cambridge said in a statement Monday. "Once we learned of this, we took immediate steps to stop access to the account and to stop further data sharing."
The researchers added that academics who used the tool had to verify their identities and the nature of their research and agree to terms of service that prohibited them from sharing Facebook data "outside of their research group."
This suspension comes just before the hearing on Capitol Hill focused on Cambridge Analytica and data privacy on Wednesday. As with most of its announcements in the past scandal-ridden months, Facebook says there is "a lot more work to be done."

This week marked the 47th anniversary of U.S. astronauts taking the first walk on the moon. Many of us only know this event from stories told by our parents and grandparents who sat in front of the radio listening to Neil Armstrong's famous line. Others were fortunate enough to view the event on a tiny television that produced a black and white picture. 47 years later, the event is still extremely exciting to think about. The men on Apollo 11 risked everything to become the first to walk on the moon and were extremely fortunate for their success.
The anniversary of this event is a great reason to do some exploration with the family. YouTube has a plethora of videos showing the event and I would highly recommend exploring some of these with the kiddos. From the rocket launch, to the actual moon walk, to the visual difference in film quality, there is so much to discuss and so many questions to answer. If you are visiting YouTube videos, beware of the comment sections, as they are often inundated with comments that aren't appropriate for younger audiences.
This is also a great time to do some science after dark. iGameMom has a great site for all sorts of nighttime science activities. From stargazing and moon watching to catching and learning about fireflies and other nighttime insects – there is a wealth of information and links to help you plan a perfect night of science.

I recently watched the season finale of "Project Runway"--a reality TV show that documents the competition to find the next big fashion designer.
The season always end with the top three designers creating a collection that is presented in a runway show. This year the judges were so impressed with the final four that they broke tradition and let them all go to the runway.
While I enjoyed seeing what each of them had to present, I was paying more attention to the story that unfolded. Each one of the final four either dedicated or attributed the inspiration for their designs to a family member who had passed away. Two designers lost their mothers and two lost their brothers.
Why was there such an overwhelming commonality of loss? What is it about pain that propels people artistically?
As I have been writing about my travels through the Great Unknown, I find that when things go smoothly--when the water is running clear, my pack fits right and my feet aren't sore--I just don't have much to say (not in this space anyway).
It's when I slip and fall--and still have fresh blood dripping down my knees--that I feel most compelled to write. It's in those moments that I feel the pull to put pen to paper and make my story known.
I don't have a tidy explanation for this. I only know it's true. Somehow each time I sit down to document the truth of my present experiences, a little bit of the sorrow that has held my soul bound for so long loosens its grip and unravels a little more.

[MILD SPOILERS for Ant-Man ahead.]
Ant-Man may not be Marvel Studios' biggest commercial success to date, but the film performed well on its own terms, earning solid critical notices and box office revenue (considering the title character is not as well-known as many past Marvel film leads). However, it's hard not to imagine how the film would've changed, under different circumstances.
This project is infamous for original director Edgar Wright's late departure from the film (a month or so before production was to begin), after he had spent much of the previous decade developing the film with Marvel. Wright is still credited as a writer and executive producer, but Ant-Man director Peyton Reed (who took over from Wright) has revealed one key element of Wright's script that did not make the final cut.
Reed revealed to Cinema Blend that the original Ant-Man opening sequence depicted a young Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) in action as the eponymous superhero, as follows:
"It was basically a standalone sequence where you really did not see it was Hank Pym. He was retrieving some microfilm from this, originally Cuban general and then it because a Panamanian general… It really was designed in those early drafts to be almost like a Bond movie standalone scene in the beginning. It was going to show the powers. You never saw Ant-Man, it almost felt like an Invisible Man sequence, and it's really, really cool... It started to feel tonally disconnected from the movie we were making and story-wise, and it also kind of set a standalone adventure, but it didn't just connect to the rest of our story."
Early drafts of the Ant-Man script set the scene in 1960s Cuba, though this was later changed to Panama when the timeline was bumped back to the 1980s. Wright said that actor Jordi Molla (Bad Boys II) played the Panamian General Castillo in the scene, which would have expanded on Pym's time working with S.H.I.E.L.D. Fans eager to see the alternate opening may still have their chance, as Reed admits that the footage was shot and simply left on the cutting room floor.
"We actually ended up shooting that sequence and cut it together and it's fantastic, but the more we got into editing, it just felt too disconnected to the rest of the movie. It felt like vestige of those earlier drafts, which as a standalone thing was really cool. We actually talked at one point about releasing like a standalone, Hank Pym as Ant-Man. Who knows if that will still happen."
The theatrical cut of Ant-Man opens with a prologue that both introduces young Hank Pym and connects to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Nonetheless, it would have been fun to see Pym in the moment as Ant-Man, rather than via archived video recordings (as happens in the film). Moreover, the footage would have perhaps lent greater impact to his decision to recruit Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) to follow in his footsteps and made for a more energetic opener to the film (having a similar effect as that dynamite Nightcrawler scene at the start of X2: X-Men United).
As it stands, though, Marvel could possibly release the footage on the Blu-ray as either a deleted scene or one of its One-Shot short films (though the studio hasn't released one of those since Thor: The Dark World). Those hoping to see Reed's original filmed version of Ant-Man (complete with the alternate opening) might want to lower expectations, as not even Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron will be getting the 'director's cut' treatment.

AS a resident of Girrawheen, I am concerned at the number of "locals" flouting council by-laws.
There seems to be a proliferation of obvious backyard (and front yard) car repair businesses operating unchallenged.
In addition, you do not have to look too far to see what appear to be non-approved DIY patios, carports and enclosures.
It's time some people were made aware of zoning requirements to operate a business in a residential area and of building by-laws.

A Tale of Two Granites: Zonation in Titanite from Notch Peak and Little Cottonwood Stocks, Utah
Titanite is useful in petrogenetic studies due to its slow element diffusion and its capacity to incorporate a variety of trace elements. The textures and compositions of titanite from the Notch Peak (NP) and Little Cottonwood (LC) granites allow us to infer different histories for each pluton. In the NP, magmatic titanite has relatively high LREEs (0.02-0.03 apfu) and low F (0.03-0.05 apfu) while secondary titanite contains lower LREE (0.01-0.02 apfu) and higher F (0.06-0.08 apfu). Magmatic titanite crystallized ~166 Ma while secondary titanite crystallized ~165-160 Ma. Unlike NP's typical sector zoning, LC titanite has magmatic interiors with patchy zoning and inclusions of rounded ilmenite, suggesting that ilmenite precipitated first in a lower f02 magma that then mixed with a higher fO2 magma causing the dissolution of ilmenite and stabilization of titanite. Secondary LC titanite is similar to secondary NP titanite with low REE and high F. LC magmatic titanite crystalized ~32 Ma, while secondary titanite crystalized ~28-27 Ma.

Clover Bag HandlesWho can ever have enough bags? Very often I make bags using straps made from the same fabric as the bag, but occasionally it is nice to dress the bags up a bit with a real handle.
These handles are made from plastic (hard wearing and durable) and come in two different styles - choose from circular in black or bamboo, or you might prefer the bamboo marble which is a semi circle design with metal rings at each end for easy attachment to your bag.
These bag handles are all made by Clover.

Weekend Tasks
I spent the weekend busy as usual around the farm. On Saturday I was combining for most of the day down at Vince's place. We were still combining oats. These were the oats that I had swathed last weekend. We had had hot dry weather all week so the combining went really well. I was in second gear with the variable speed kicked up a couple notches...as far as a 1968 combine is concerned, I was flying! Still though, it was a little disheartening to watch Vince's much newer John Deere 8820 going past me on a regular basis. It was like the first time marathoner, so proud to have trained so hard to be there in the first place only to watch the entire field of runners filing past one after the other throughout the race! No surprise though, the JD has almost three times the capacity and a 280 horsepower diesel compared to my 105 hp gas engine.
On Saturday morning, I did manage to get one irritating problem corrected. On my old tidy tank, the hose was leaking every time I used it. I had to stick the hose end deep into whatever tank I was filling to avoid losing fuel onto the ground. I went to the UFA store and picked up a new hose...then I thought I may as well install a filter. It didn't take long to install, but it wasn't a cheap R&R either. It is an older tank with 3/4 inch hose fittings. The only filter fitting I could find was 1". I needed some pipe fittings and teflon tape to make everything come together. It is a much longer hose now too...I don't have to get quite so close to whatever I am filling anymore.

PHOTOS: If Disney Characters Were Real People, This Is How They'd Look

Artist Re-Imagines Work Featured
What keeps visitors packed in like sardines? The promise of a suspended reality—one that treats the various Disney characters as though they had just stepped out of a movie. The motivation is understandable: Disney never wants people to feel as though they need to wander around looking for information. If they pose a question to, say, a Disney Princess, the actor is expected to communicate with other employees or areas of the park in order to find the answer.

Love Undercover Series:
Book 2:
Bare It All: Reese Bareden and Alice Appleton
Purchase on Amazon: Lori Foster – Bare It All
From Goodreads.com
"A cop's craving to know more about the woman next door could prove fatal in the steamy new novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster"
As the person responsible for taking down a brutal human trafficker, Alice Appleton fears retaliation at every turn. No one knows about her past, which is exactly how she prefers it…until the sexy cop next door comes knocking.
Detective Reese Bareden thinks he knows what makes women tick, but his ever-elusive neighbor keeps him guessing like no other. Is his goal to unmask Alice's secrets? Or protect her from a dangerous new threat? One thing is certain: their chemistry is a time bomb waiting to explode. And with no one to trust but each other, Reese and Alice are soon drawn into a deadly maze of corruption, intrigue and desire-and into the line of fire…
I've read a few Lori Foster books in the past and I have always enjoyed them. This book is no exception to that, I quite enjoyed this tale of love and danger! In the beginning Alice is a bit on the timid side, she has a secret a few of them actually, secrets she doesn't want Reese her very sexy copy neighbor to find out. But fate seems to have other plans for Alice. Reese has been intrigued by Alice from the start but she never gave him the time of day until he got a dog. When he realizes that there is more to Alice then meets the eye his curiosity is amped up tenfold and there is nothing Reese likes to do more than solve a good mystery and something tells him that Alice's is a doozy!
We pick up this book where I am assuming the first book left off. There was just a gun fight that almost got Reese killed if it had not been for Alice. He has taken up residence on her couch because his place is a crime scene. Reese almost doesn't regret the crime scene since it got him into Alice's apartment, finally! The sparks between Alice and Reese fly, even if Alice is not ready for it. She soon realizes that by protecting herself she is really hindering herself from truly living. I greatly enjoyed Alices journey from timid to seductress/heroine! She really comes a long way throughout the book. I love a character the truly grows. Reese, is good to go from the beginning. He's sexy and a definite Alpha, but he has a sweet caring side that he lets out for Alice. All of his protective instincts are on high alert around Alice and it's a good thing because she has a nose for trouble! One act of valor creates a downward spiral of violence. Alice is no stranger to violence but this time she has people she cares about involved and she will do anything to keep them safe including putting herself in danger. Reese is not about to let that happen, but he might not have a choice as his life is almost taken, again….
The pacing on this book is a little off, most of the book took place in the second half, if that makes any sense. He beginning was a bit slow, but still enjoyable as we got to know the characters. I didn't read the first book, it is not necessary; however, I would recommend it. You also may want to consider reading the book where we first meet Alice, in the Men of Honor series. I also quite enjoyed the side characters, I think Rowdy is my favorite. I am really looking forward to his book! I can't wait for him to be brought to his knees by a short red-head! Whoot Whoot!

SEC Alert – SEC Issues Staff Letter Detailing Concerns Related to Cryptocurrency ETFs and Mutual Funds
On January 17, 2018, the Director of the Division of Investment Management at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a public letter detailing the SEC's concerns with green-lighting cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and mutual funds. This public letter comes after a recent string of proposed ETF filings were withdrawn by their sponsors at the request of the SEC.
Fund professionals have been attempting to get a bitcoin ETF listed for quite a while now. The Winklevoss brothers first began working on a bitcoin-backed ETF back in 2013, however, after four years of working with the SEC to iron out the details of the ETF, the SEC ultimately rejected their proposal. This formal rejection temporarily cooled the interest of fund professionals in the possibility of cryptocurrency ETFs, but the fervor was reignited in late 2017 following the approval of the CME and CBOE futures markets for Bitcoin. Fund professionals viewed those approvals as an indicator that regulators were warming to the application of traditional financial instruments to the cryptocurrency world. In response to this perceived regulatory thawing, many funds proposed new ETFs tied to the futures markets and filed their proposals with the SEC.
Then, in early to mid-January 2018, most of these funds began pulling their proposed ETFs, citing SEC staff concerns. These withdrawals left the market clamoring for more information regarding the SEC's specific concerns about these ETFs. Thus, the SEC's staff letter provides the market with much-desired insight into the SEC's hesitation with regards to cryptocurrency ETFs.
The SEC's letter clearly shows that the SEC is still very much in an information-gathering stage. Rather than taking a firm stance on any issues, the letter simply raises questions that need to be answered before the SEC can make a decision on cryptocurrency ETF or other proposals. In particular, the SEC staff highlighted five main concerns with cryptocurrency-related financial products: valuation, liquidity, custody, arbitrage and market manipulation. Questions related to these concerns included: Would funds have the information necessary to adequately value cryptocurrencies or cryptocurrency-related products, given their volatility, the fragmentation and general lack of regulation of underlying cryptocurrency markets, and the nascent state and current trading volume in the cryptocurrency futures markets? What steps would funds investing in cryptocurrencies or cryptocurrency-related products take to assure that they would have sufficiently liquid assets to meet redemptions daily? How would a fund intend to validate existence, exclusive ownership and software functionality of private cryptocurrency keys and other ownership records?
It is important to note that the SEC staff was not entirely dismissive of the possibility of a cryptocurrency ETF ever being approved. In fact, the SEC specifically called for an open dialogue with fund professionals, stating "[a]s we have in the past, the Division stands ready to engage in dialogue with sponsors regarding the potential development of these funds." However, given the amount of information called for by the SEC staff, we do not expect to see an ETF approval coming very soon.
A full version of the letter is available here.

Ever since man decided to follow the first lie told, he became a part of the lie. Because we accepted the lie, we became the progeny of the defective mold. We then become gullible to lies and a regurgitated blend of lies and half truths became our reality. NOW THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US.
The adversary of truth propagated the lie that man could rule themselves apart from the Creator, and that he should follow that one who was telling the "truth" which was a lie.
That adversary was the devil and father of the lie. Make it known and understood that that one was perfect and beautiful, but desired prominence and worship that belonged to The Grand Creator.
So the father of the lie plunged the whole world of humankind into a lie, and thus we were subjected to futility. It came to the point where lies become easy and often passed on as "white lies" in a boast that everyone does it, and that it is natural to lie. Now that is some serious lie!
Admittedly there is a conscience in everyone that tells them that they lied and left some aroma of guilt that can be detected by "Lie detectors" whether it being human or machine, or the administration of the truth drug. People are even exonerated or condemned by the machine that detects the truth when a lie is told. Businesses are generated from the inability and impossibility to call truth a lie or lie truth. From the trained administrators with their machines, to personnel, to truth drug, to talk shows like Maury Povich and Steve Wilkos, the inability to pass lie as truth is manifested and creates a business for these folks and institutions.
Tell me the truth and I will tell the lie – is an ideology deeply embedded in the law advocacy system that it forms a part of legal strategy. Lies can be so intricately concealed whereas it is proposed and construed that based upon the preponderance of evidence (Based on more convincing evidence and its probable truth or accuracy) or reasonable doubt (A standard of proof that must be surpassed to convict an accused) that people can go free or pay penalty.
Lies And Our Existence
Lies have become so fundamental to our existence that when the truth is staring us in the face we cannot even see it.
Even the condemnatory judgment of science is set aside for fallacies and lies. President Obama said this in his recent Inauguration: "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms," Although this was addressing the impact of global warming, what is to say the same attitude has not been laid at the feet of the question of our health, and what causes or cures diseases!
Many a cure has been put aside or some curious injunction by governing bodies have assessed them as no good. Yes many lies have been promulgated, as the truth does not effect the selfish undertaking of a money, gains-driven world, and the turning wheels of corporations. Nobody wants to kill a cash cow even if the cow is diseases (or global warming).
Indeed! lies is so ingrained in our system, so hardwired in our existence that it forms a whole culture. Regrettably, it has permeated every facet of our existence from sports, business, Law, education, Health, you name it, you can find a lie in it.
One wonders if there is any reason for truth anymore.
At times someone is even at a disadvantage for telling the truth. Recently Lance Armstrong admitted to Oprah Winfrey that he lied and that he cheated to get to the top of his game (See Video). Lance is alive today and may even compete again in the sport of cycling. Christopher Dorner, now the infamous ex LA cop, allegedly told the truth and he is dead. This will launch an investigation to see if he was telling the truth costing more money in addition to the Million for his death. Reading it for what it is what if he could have gone with the lying wind, he could be alive today, instead of being roasted in a cabin. (click to see Pictures)
Lies And Health
As an advanced society and generation, we seemed to have accomplished so much aside from good health. The battle continues to use one medication to ease symptoms, and other meds to correct their side effects. One medication that is good for one thing can be bad for fifty more and the question is, is it worth it, to even take that medication in the first place?
So! am I today as a cancer survivor to believe there is no cure for these diseases? We can split an atom amongst other great things but we cannot cure cancer, another lie that you would want to sell me.
It is a good thing I am not buying this lie or any other lie. It is also a good thing that the system of lies is numbered, if you don't believe me look at the sky and see the recent celestial activities that are trying to tell us something. Isn't it that one meteorite just barely missed us and the other shattered things across Russia and now imbedded in the Siberian wasteland?
Soon the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light as this system of lies is replaced by one of truth. Until them all my ailing brothers hang tight and stay loose, do all you need to do to survive. I have been surviving by taking two cool cayenne pepper three times a day and three dosages of apple cider vinegar. You can mix the vinegar in water or juice. The health benefits of this simple measure, is awesome. I find it perks me up in the morning and energizes me through out the day.
These simple medicines are cheap and available at most health foods store. One point though when purchasing the vinegar make sure you get the on with the "mother" in it. That is the pure unfiltered one. Also for those with sensitive stomachs who cannot take the heat, the Cool Cayenne is available.
So until no resident will say I am sick good health to you. Remember steer clear of the anchoring weight of lies, and find buoyancy in truth. Please read my survival story from prostate cancer and other inspirational and encouraging expressions at Amazon Author Central.
Until next time walk good and pack light.

Tallis and Justin fell in love at first sight. Lovers of all things country: trucks, guns, farms, horses, dogs, etc. Tallis doesn't come across as your typical country girl: small, soft spoken, and beautiful, she was the perfect match for Justin, your every day man's man. Taking their wedding photo's in New Glasow was a blessing. Surrounded by so much love just made the pictures come to life; at times it was as if we weren't even hired to take their photos, we felt like guests! It was a pleasure taking part, and as they say in the country, "till next time pardner".
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
Gave me you.

I am a little behind in posting this week's plan with me but I have some fun Hingis happening this week!! Well, no activities or anything but a friend of mine from back home, came to visit me for a few days!!
It's exciting because I've been in the Navy for almost 5 years now and this is the first time anyone has come to visit me. Since having the babies, I have been going home less frequently so it was about time someone came to visit ME! 😆
Along with friends visiting, that means you have to work a bit harder on getting in those workouts you had planned on. I wrote them down and I have to do them, right?! Well, I had two workouts scheduled for over the weekend and I didn't get to them. I had a busy weekend with my friend and I just wanted to be more "lax" about it. But as you can see, I had to shift my days so this is where my stickers came in! 😂 Easy way to cover up your messes. Haha!
My friend leaves on Thursday and that sucks. 😭 But I'm looking forward to seeing her and my family again in a few months! 🙌🏽

Hundreds of community members and visitors spent Thursday evening learning about a variety of medical topics, while playing interactive games, listening to a free concert and enjoying dinner and ice cream during the annual Community Block Party and Health Fair at Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital. Visitors could explore an Aeromed helicopter and a Big Rapids Department of Public Safety fire truck between browsing the booths, as well as stop at the Veggie Van, which offered free bags of fruits and vegetables. (Pictured) Julie Tetsworth holds her granddaughter, Sawyer Allison, as they select a bag of fresh produce from the Veggie Van table. (Pioneer photos/Meghan Gunther-Haas)
While exploring what the many booths have to offer at the health fair portion of the block party, (from left) Evan, Jamie and (not pictured) Liam Medler stop to flip through a book at the family medicine and convenient care walk-in clinic table.

Save pennies and paper! "Re-gift" greeting cards with these two fast and SUPER easy ideas:
1) Cards given to you by someone else can be repurposed using blank, prefolded white, beige or cardboard-colored cards from a craft store (like Pearl Paint). Carefully cut or tear off the front of the old card and rubber cement it to the blank one. Now its front is the same, but you have a brand new, blank inside to work with. You can even add your own bit of flare with some colored-pencil doodles or stickers.
2) Create gorgeous photo cards of your new neighborhood. I've done this one Christmases past, using the same blank cards/cardstock (5×7 size works well and creates a border for a 4×6 photo). Order two copies each of the six best photos, making for a set of 12. Rubber cement them to the front of the card. Make sure to add your signature underneath, so the giver knows you took the photo! Tie with a ribbon for a great end result (photo via WordPress).
It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts!
