Orientation locks????
Okay… so here's the thing, I like this game a lot... It's just that every time I open the app the screen doesn't change it's orientation. So when I have my ipad mini in a landscape position, the app opens as portrait. It opens and only half of the screen is being used. The game would open and it would open as portrait only at the top half of the screen. When I first downloaded the app, it didn't do that. But after like three times of opening this app, the orientation was all jacked up.
Has Potential ....
This game is just okay but it does have potential to become a good time management game.
The this I hated the most was that that you have to click on the people to start their commands. It really slowed the game down drastically and it became more frustrating as the game progressed. If they fix these things then I believe this game could go far.
Annoying and boring
The idea is fun but it quickly gets very boring. The sounds the characters make are quite annoying. Also when trying to drag people from the ATM to the exit they often get hung out and you have to redrag. I love time management games but this is one I am deleting.

Professional Make Up Tips
Make up is one of the most preliminary things in a women's mind. I use to love to watch Dr Oz whenever the show came on and that got me inspired to discover more and more make up secrets. I went to beauty conventions where specialist spoke. I went to fashion shows and did small work behind the scenes and I got to know a lot of great secrets.
Most tips compared to professional advice are accurate, however its the method and way of applying them thats different.
1. For beautiful,hydrated, and youthful skin the best remedy from professionals is Rosewater. Our skin ages because the elasticity and the 'plumpness' dehydrates and thats why mid aged women use collagen to plump it up again. The best way to do this naturally is rose water.
What you need:
Empty perfume bottle aka sprayer
Rose Pedals
Boil the rose pedals in the pot until you see them shrivel and go damp. Let them sit for 4 hours and then you can extract the rose water and throw the used pedals away. After get your perfume bottle and fill it up with your rose water. Note: As many roses you make the more supply you'll get.
After doing so tighten the cap of the perfume bottle and its ready to use! Its best to spray rose water on your skin when you're all natural. For example: Mornings and Nights. Unless you're one of  those all naturals that never wear make up, the possibilities will be endless.
Rose water plumps up your skin,hydrates, and smells amazing.

Recently, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon began operating, by swearing in judges and establishing a first set of procedures. This tribunal is the latest in the recent trend in the international criminal community toward establishing hybrid tribunals on an ad hoc basis, to deal with particular situations, regions and issues. In fact, other such hybrid tribunals include the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the Iraqi Special Tribunal, and the Extra-Ordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. While each of these tribunals has special characteristics and a different degree of domestic v. international features, all of them reflect a consensus between the international community and the host country (Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Iraq, and Cambodia) that something ought to be done about particular crimes in the host crimes.
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon was established pursuant to an agreement between the United Nations and Lebanon, negotiated in 2006, and solidified through several Security Council resolutions (in fact, it had been the government of Lebanon that wrote to the United Nations, requesting the establishment of the special tribunal - a situation exactly alike to the one in Sierra Leone). The Lebanese tribunal has jurisdiction to investigate, and prosecute those responsible for, the attack of Feb. 14, 2005, in which former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was killed, and several other individuals were killed or injured. The tribunal can also investigate other acts if it finds that they are linked to the Hariri assassination. The tribunal, while directed to apply Lebanese criminal law, is of an international character because some of its judges and its prosecutor are "international" (some judges hail from Lebanon). Moreover, the tribunal's seat is in the Netherlands, not in Lebanon, a fact which adds to the international character of this institution. Like the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is composed of four offices: the Registry, the Prosecution, the Defense, and the Chambers (to read more about the tribunal, click here: http://www.un.org/apps/news/infocus/lebanon/tribunal/factsheet.shtml).
There are many arguments as to why establishing hybrid tribunals versus purely international ones is a good thing. Hybrid tribunals implicate the host country, if they are located in the host country, they help rebuild its judiciary, institutions, and domestic criminal law, they provide a sense of domestic justice and closure to the victims, can bring about national reconciliation, and can send a stronger message of deterrence domestically. On the other hand, ad hoc hybrid tribunals undermine the International Criminal Court ("ICC"), in instances where the situation could be investigated by the ICC because it fits its jurisdictional mandate. De facto, the United States, a main opponent of the ICC, has been a staunch supporter of ad hoc hybrid tribunals, possibly due to an implicit American policy of thwarting the ICC and sending cases elsewhere. It will be interesting to note whether more ad hoc hybrid tribunals are established during the Obama Administration reign, as our new president seems to have a more supportive stance toward the ICC and may prefer for cases to be prosecuted there. For now, however, the international community welcomes its newest hybrid member, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.

- Summary
- The Aneros Helix SYN is one of those products you don't really hear about unless you are seeking it out. It has strengthened my ejaculatory control, rid me of dribbling urine after peeing, and given me an entirely new view on my sexuality. I highly recommend this massager to any man who is interested in learning more about his sexuality, or who is interested in experiencing a different type of sexual gratification.
The Aneros Helix SYN (Synergy) is a unique pleasure tool/toy for every guy who isn't afraid of his prostate. It is the top-selling prostate stimulator in the world, and is used by all types of men.
Who is the Helix SYN best suited for?
- Older guys who are experiencing prostate pain. Several older dudes like myself (40+) have shared reviews highlighting how their prostate pain and discomfort have been minimized as a direct result of using this prostate stimulator.
- Anyone working to improve their PC Muscle strength with kegels. The SYN stimulates the PC muscle while kegeling, making the exercise more effective.
- Guys who are looking for more stimulation and excitement in the bedroom. This will be the fastest orgasm you've ever experienced.
Who won't benefit from this particular massager?
- Guys involved in the more extreme side of anal pleasure. (ex. Fisting, Gaping, DP)
- Guys who are unwilling or afraid to learn more about their sexuality - All prostate stimulators are inserted into the anus, you need to be comfortable with that fact.
How the Helix SYN feels
The Helix Synergy is smooth, slides in easily, and immediately touches your g-spot. The sensation you feel right before you cum, the sensation that alerts you that cum is at the flood gates - that's similar to the feeling you get from the Helix SYN, but it's unique and different at the same time.
That feeling is connected with an electric tingling right behind your testicles almost reaching the base of your penis that radiates through your body. You feel the tingling pleasure in pulses, and the feeling is intensified by any movement. Walking around can be a sexual experience with the Helix SYN.
During Sex: Thrusting with this prostate toy in definitely transforms it from "means to an end" to "end in itself". All the extra stimulation is almost to much to handle, but over time I have found that I have been forced to practice the squeeze and hold, and last longer now than I did a month ago, and so do my orgasms. The Helix edition aggressively presses up against the prostate gland, and every body movement can be felt directly on the g-spot. This encourages muscle control, and ejaculatory control.
Foreplay: This is my favorite way, I love the SYN for this specific use. Getting my dick sucked while my prostate is massaged perfectly gives me almost immediate release. You get the same tingling pleasure sensation, but with more awareness of what you're feeling because you are not moving the rest of your body. Everything is intensified: throbbing, clenching, even slight position changes add to the whole experience.
Solo: My personal eye-opening experience was after playing around with the placement for a few minutes, and finding my "g-spot". It felt like I was ready to blow my load just from applying pressure to the right spot with the handle. A minute of stroking and I had half an erection, and I was "leaking" semen. Another minute and I actually fully ejaculated, without touching my penis at all. I learned a lot about my body using it by myself, and have improved my ejaculatory control by kegeling with the Helix SYN inserted.
Probably the most common use of a prostate massager is solo, at least in the beginning. Men don't have many options when it comes to sex toys, it's either a flashlight, or a prostate massager. But experimenting with a prostate toy can be an enlightening experience for every man, and I highly recommend it. Overall I love the Aneros brand, they make high quality stuff and so far I have yet to find a position or sexual act that is made worse by their massagers.
Comparing the Helix SYN to a Generic Massager from Amazon
Before spending the money for a good massager, I went the cheap route and got a hard white plastic prostate stimulator from amazon for something like 15 bucks. It got the job done, but I was unable to ejaculate from the massager alone because the plastic was to rough inside my anus. It felt swollen (but not sore) and became difficult to move at all.
visit the Official Aneros Helix SYN website
The curly handles (Perineum Tab) was also hard plastic, and scratched up my perineum pretty badly while sitting for a blowjob, and during solo use it would become too tender to achieve orgasm comfortably.
The silicone coating on this Aneros massager is really what sold me on buying it. It's a much higher quality product, and was well worth the extra few bucks. Avoid the generic / knockoff Aneros crap, to much risk of injury with low quality materials.
Some notes about the material and lifespan of the Helix SYN
- The plastic in Aneros toys are made from a non-porous, FDA approved plastic called acetal. The materials are approved for both body and fluid contact.
- All Aneros products have no guaranteed lifespan, but the company does say it will offer years of pleasure. To maximize the lifespan on massagers coated in silicone, wash promptly after use and store in a dry location.
- If you are over six feet tall, the Helix will probably not hit your G-Spot adequately (4 inches insertable). Try looking at the Progasm (4.5 inches insertable)
- Read over my other pages about how to get the most from Aneros products. Your prostate plays a role in ejaculation, orgasm, urination, and overall health. This is more than just a toy, it's a tool to improve your sex life.
My conclusions after two months of use
If you are open to new experiences and are willing to invest some time into exploring your body, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. You will learn how to achieve and enjoy a different type of orgasm, much different from the orgasm you know today.
With continuous use, an awareness of your body and the way you experience sexual satisfaction will develop. I highly recommend the Helix SYN, and at $70 dollars it won't break the bank, and the benefits you'll gain far outweigh the sub $100 price tag.

Author: Ann Leary
Version: MacMillan Audio read by Gretchen Mol
The Children was entertaining. The relationships described within the family were enthralling to read. I loved the lonely feeling Leary created and I was very interested in finishing this book so I knew what happened to each character. The plot twist was unexpected and threw me. However, when I finished this book I was happy I read it but not running to recommend it to anyone. I think other readers will enjoy this book, but it will not be the favorite of any.


text:
Grog has been reunited with his old friend Lecher, now old after waiting years in the library. Seems he and Grog went through different portals which spit them out at different times. Before they could catch up, though, someone screams from the Children's department!
Grog jumped forward, swift and easy and through the doors and down the steps before the others could turn to follow him with their eyes. Chris and Naomi followed and Ben let them all go, heading toward the elevator.
Brenda watched Grog bound down the steps and stand, his sword in his hand looking like the giant metal claw of a patient beast. The reflection of the pink summer reading shirt on the blade had a strange beauty to the woman.
"My son is none of your business," a man yelled. The sound was followed by another child's cry.
Grog strode with confidence toward the children's department. He saw the little ones and his heart soared. They did battle. A small child lay pinned under the body of a larger boy with sandy hair. The small boi was the quiet one from the circle, the one with the brises. Grog saw now how that must be possible. The boy was a poor fighter.
Rosa told the man in a high voice, "Get your son and leave."
This annoyed Grog as he wished to see how the small one would overpower his opponent. He frowned when the child began to cry and curl into a ball The larger boy also frowned and pulled at the smaller arms, ripping from them a small book.
"See what you been writing about me, Timmy," the sandy haired boy said, getting up.
The man crossed the room and instead of congratulating the larger boy, yanked the smaller one from the carpet.
"Come on, you little cry baby," the man said.
"He's got my book," Tim said.
The father stopped and released his son. "Then go get it back," he said.
When the boy lowered his head and said nothing, the father began walking away. As he passed Grog, he matched eyes with the barbarian and found the floor. The boy followed when the man bellowed from the front door.
Naomi walked through the space with a disgusted look on her face. "Reggie," she said.
The sandy haired boy, Reggie, rolled his eyes and thrust at the book he had taken from Tim. "He started it, Mrs. Naomi."
Rosa spoke without being asked. "He beats that boy and you know it. All the bruises."
Naomi took the book. She shook her head at Rosa and said, "You argued with the dad and not the boys fighting?"
"You're not putting this on me," Rosa said.
"Mrs. Naomi, Timmy was drawing me and the little crap was laughing. Look," Reggie said.
"Out, Reggie. Two days," Naomi said.
"But Mrs. Naomi."
"Out. I'll be in my office." Naomi walked book in hand past the library assistant and the children's desk. She opened the door behind it into a dark room, leaving it open, and Grog heard another door open and shut.
A hand fell on Grog's elbow. Ben said, "Walk an old man to the curb, Groggy?"
Stay tuned on Fridays for the continuing adventures of Grog the Destroyer and how he became the Banned Library's children's librarian.
For all Grog Stories, go on this link and read from the bottom up.

Not exactly the chattiest band, I'll admit. But that's fair enough: The once-upon-a-time Sulphur Springs-based band seems to prefer that its songs do the talking. Want more? OK: In one of the few reveals the band did allow in the short interview above, frontman Bryon Mantooth admits that the band's catalog is largely centered around skepticism. Of what, exactly? "Of God," Mantooth says. With song titles like "Wedding Bell Murders" and "Kill The Girl," though, I'm thinking Mantooth's skeptical of some other stuff as well, but I won't argue with him. Or with the appeal of the band's latest release, Slow Descent, a visceral, in-your-face release filled with more than its share of angst and volume.
Watch the above clip and you'll see what I mean.
Oh, and feel free to stop by El Sibil (122 E. 5th St. in Oak Cliff) this evening as we welcome in yet another area talent for a taping. Starts at 7 p.m. and, as always, it's free to attend.

On November 17th, we took a day trip to Vancouver B.C. to attend the New Craft Symposium, organized by the Material Matters Lab at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
It was inspiring to see various projects, which expand the notion of craft into areas of design, art, fashion, technology, architecture, and social practice. The conversation about the role of makers and experimental practices of making that are in core collaborative and community oriented was equally fascinating. We came away with lots of new ideas.

Merry Christmas 2012
I wish anyone, especially my readers and followers, Merry Christmas. Including anyone I can reach.
Regardless whenever or not you celebrate it. Independent from your personal believe and your culture.
It's that time of the year where you slow down and review the past year, maybe go into yourself and spend more time with your family and close friends. Maybe thinking about what's next.
I hope it's a peaceful time for you. Enjoy it.

Keep in mind as you listen to and view the material above and below that I am not endorsing any specific course of action; only pointing out the fact that there is already a global consciousness building momentum for the betterment of the planet and humanity. Our solutions may be many and varied and not all will succeed. However, we may only need one successful option. We do not know from where, or when will it come. We may be thirsting while standing in the midst of water!

May I add my personal thoughts about this idea of a New Earth? It seems everywhere my wife and I travel, we bump into people who have recently become more aware and conscious of the madness. Some are excited about becoming conscious. Some are depressed. Some want to run away and hide in a tree somewhere. Some are activated to rail against the system. Others are in deep puzzlement as to what to do about what they have learned.
Personally, I believe we are coming swiftly to an historic crossroads. Either the people on earth make some dramatic and revolutionary changes that creates a New World or the Divine One will intervene. Asking these world rulers to change is like expecting a crack addict to become a saint overnight. For several hundred years these inhuman people have had their way. Thus, the Divine One will intervene, but who will escape the wrath to come as this old system is destroyed forever?
I believe we are sorting ourselves into two groups of people - sheep and goats. The sheep are those considered weak, helpless and incapable of defending themselves, yet they are also kind, gentle, loving and would never deliberately harm anyone. They value and cherish life and right of all to live together in peace and security. At great personal risk the sheep speak up wherever tyranny raises it ugly head, whenever leaders lie and mislead, whenever compromise is the easy way out. They are the irritant to the unrighteous, the luke warm, the cowardly.
The goats on the other hand are those who see the same naked aggression, violence, selfishness and greed and remain silent. These are the same anti-humans who quietly go about their business, keeping their heads down, hoping not to be noticed. While they watch the bloodshed and murder, the say nothing, they feel nothing, they are the anti-humans.
Soon, the Divine One will bring judgement upon this evil and wicked system. Who will survive? Those who love the family of man and would never harm another, in fact, will protect and guard their fellow man. Who will be destroyed? Those who hate the family of man and are ever looking for opportunities to harm others, in fact, will use their position of power and authority to abuse, incarcerate, damage or kill others.
May we all have the courage to defend our own humanity and sense of self. Why? So the executors of the Divine Ones judgement will see that we are still humans, made in the image of the Divine One. Peace and blessings to one and all.

In a weird stunt, two men dressed as Kim Jong-un and United States president Donald Trump were led from the premises, down in the bowels of the arena.

Its the same free two-hour delivery window. But the addition of most Whole Foods products to the Prime Now service makes this a significant change. Prior to the delivery announcement, Amazon hadn't said much about its plans for Whole Foods, other than generating headlines with price cuts on a handful of items.
The lawsuit alleges that it "compromises the phone's core functionality, preventing consumers from communicating by voice call and from using features like Google Assistant". The search giant also said that only 1% of its Pixel devices sold were affected with this hardware problem. The complaint alleges that even after individuals received their replacements, the defect persisted.
And it also added a live sports tab to the app last November. On the one hand, it will give a little more attention to the section: Apple has never detailed how much "For You" is used compared to the rest of Apple News, but I'm guessing less than what's at the top of the app when you first open it.
A per the leak, Huawei P20 Lite will feature a notch on its top bezel. Now, the tipster, in collaboration with TigerMobiles , is back with CAD-based renders of the Huawei P20 Plus/Pro, alongside a 360-degree video. Today, we have got three different Huawei P20 Lite phone's live images showing off the device from all the angles. The big highlight of the Huawei P20 Plus, however, will clearly be that triple camera system.

In a statement, Uber's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said his job included "correcting mistakes of the past".

Is it just me, or is Kristina Wagner looking staggeringly uncomfortable in her return as Felicia Jones on General Hospital?
Maybe she's just rusty, or it's the situation, or perhaps it's the garbage the writers are having her spew. But from the moment she walked through the door, the vibe was … weird.
First, she casually strolls in, looking like she just came back from a mini vacation.
Judging by her demeanor, I figured she hadn't heard about Georgie yet.
My bad.
She practically beamed at Maxie and then glibly claims that her eldest daughter must be upset considering "all that she's been through."
Huh? All that she's been through? Do you mean just in the past few days or during the MANY MANY MANY MANY years you've been away?
And, I swear, Felicia didn't seem fazed at all by Georgie's death. She was so matter of fact that I thought maybe she was some sort of robot sent in the real Felicia's place.
Farfetched, you say? Not nearly as absurd as Felicia's lame explanation for why she hadn't been in touch.
I actually burst out laughing when she said Frisco had called and needed her help on some mission.
Um, huh? Oh. Kay.
If the writers were trying to whitewash Felicia's disappearance by invoking the memory of one of its premier couples … well, they failed miserably.
I loved Frisco and Felicia. L-O-V-E-D. But, frankly, I'd prefer to believe Felicia was taking care of her ailing relative, rather than have to hear how she dumped Granny Mariah in a nursing home (never telling Maxie and Georgie) so she could traipse around with Frisco because she realized how much she missed their life together.
What an insult to Maxie and Georgie. What an insult to Mac, their "true" father. What an insult to my memories of Felicia (which are mostly good, as long as I don't recall her repulsive dalliance with Luke. Ewww.).
You know, if Frisco's so great, so worth ditching your daughters for, why isn't he at the funeral?
Ugh again.
And they killed Georgie off for this?
Is it just me, or is Kristina Wagner looking staggeringly uncomfortable in her return as Felicia Jones on General Hospital?

The Italian coastguard on Wednesday October 5, reportedly said 4,655 migrants were rescued and 28 bodies were recovered in 33 operations on the stretch of sea between Sicily and Libya.
The European Union border agency, Frontex and several non-governmental organisations said the rescues took place on Tuesday, with the contribution of Italian and Irish navies, private merchant ships and tug boats.
"Authorities intercepted 27 dinghies, five small boats and one larger vessel,''
On Monday, no fewer than 6,000 migrants were rescued and 10 bodies were recovered, including of a pregnant woman.
It added that two other women gave birth immediately after being rescued by the coastguard.

A post worth reading is Ken Doctor's 'The Newsonomics of 100 products a year', a piece about how newspapers and magazines are leveraging content to produce, well, sellable content. Raid your archive to produce ebooks and apps that give niche material to subscribers and other buyers.
UK magazine publishers seem to have been quite quick to do this already, both in traditional print (repackaging content in 'bookazines') and in apps, but what's also noticeable is that they are also paying much more attention to other sources of revenue, the money that doesn't come from copy, content or ad sales.
The people who led the way, of course, were Reader's Digest, offering up books, music, videos (DVDs for the young people in the audience) to their huge database through their exceptional direct marketing machine. RD in fact make significantly more (to a factor of 20+) from products than they do from their mag, and despite the pressures on their circulation are still managing to extract large value from their databases.
The big magazine publishers didn't really get involved in this side of the business; the odd 'reader offer' here or there (but often that was in lieu of ad revenue), tickets to events, one or two 'best of' book compilations, but the big money was in selling magazines and selling advertising based on that circulation. 'Other revenue' was nickel and dime stuff, or was completely separate, like Haymarket's exhibition division.
But others have made it work, and they tend to be smaller niche titles who, being closer to their market, knew that their market would buy stuff and come to events. For example, MyHobbyStore selling model plans to readers of its model titles; videos (sorry, DVDs) of steam locomotives to customers of Ian Allan; large numbers of regional motorhome shows for Warners customers. This has been good business for these publishers in the broadest sense – it has generated extra revenue, but it has tied the titles more tightly to their readers; the one feeds and supports the other. In some publishing contexts the word 'community' does actually mean something.
The big boys are now trying to get involved, with 'direct to consumer' directors being appointed or recruited at Future, Bauer, Immediate and Hearst. The question is, can they make it work? Are they close enough to their markets to offer the right products at the right prices? Will their readers trust the brands enough to become customers?

Titled "NYPD Cop accepts dance battle against street artist. Cop kills it!," the clip was first posted on Reddit and later made its way on Facebook, where it was shared for more than 40,000 times as of this posting. Check out the said video below:
But apparently the man wearing a police uniform and dancing in the viral video is not really a cop. A former "America's Got Talent" contestant named Josh Vinyard, a.k.a. BBoy Elusive, has claimed he is the one referred to as the "dancing NYPD cop" in the video and clarified that he is not a cop but a stunt man. He said the dance battle took place at a set of a movie.
"Hate to burst the reality bubble but... I am NOT a cop! I am a stunt man who was playing a cop on a movie set that day," he said.
Here's a video of Bboy Elusive's performance on "America's Got Talent."

How To Grow Celery
Celery tastes great and offers many health benefits. It is said by some to have zero calories, as it is possible to lose calories while crunching away. Its popularity at the table makes it popular in the garden as well.
Yet celery can be a finicky plant to grow. Even some experienced gardeners steer clear of planting it. Celery needs considerable water, and can become dry and stringy almost without notice. It needs a long growing season and is not always easy to germinate. But this should not put off the avid gardener or celery fan.
There are many varieties to choose from including, Pascal, Utah, Giant Gilded (yellow), and Rosso di Torino (red). Pascal is the traditional type of green celery, Utah is also very common. Meanwhile Giant Gilded has a milder flavor. Rosso di Torino is favored by those who like the novel and different. Seeds can be acquired from seed catalogues, the internet, gardening stores, or from previous plants which have been allowed to go to seed. Celery is a biennial that is grown in most regions as an annual.
Because celery takes a long time to germinate and needs a long growing season, it is best to plant seeds indoors several weeks before the growing season begins. Plant them in individual seed containers with only a few seeds per pot. Some recommend that two to three year old seeds be used and that these be "stratified", or kept in the refrigerator over the winter. Then they should be soaked over night.1
It is recommended that the tiny seeds be broadcast into seed trays by first pouring the seed into your hand and then taking a pinch between finger and thumb, then sprinkling lightly. The seed tray should contain good potting soil or vermiculite that has been lightly tamped down. The seeds should then be pressed into the soil with a piece of wood or perhaps a finger. Instead of pouring water directly on the seeds, try soaking the tray in water to allow it to seep into the soil. This should help prevent the seeds from clumping.2
When celery seeds have germinated, thin the seedlings. Repeat this process once more when they are a bit larger. When all danger of frost has passed it is time to get down to business! It is time to move the young tender celery plants outside. Plant them in a row about one foot apart, with rows two feet apart. The soil should of course be rich and fertile, with lots of compost.
Celery needs to be watered frequently, especially when the weather is hot and dry. It is best to mulch the area around the young plants to help retain moisture. With a growing season that can stretch to longer than 120 days, the plants do require some attention. Keep down weeds around the plants (mulch will also help with this). Many insects can be controlled by hand removal in a small garden, but sprays may be necessary for larger areas or more severe infestations. Be sure to use sprays that are safe for vegetable garden use, and read directions carefully.
Some people think that the taste of celery is bitter and prefer to blanch the plant. This is done by shading the stalk about 3 weeks before harvesting by placing a board on either side of the row or cutting out the top and bottom of a clean milk carton and placing it around the plant.3 However, it is well to remember that celery which has undergone blanching is not as healthy as that grown in the normal manner. Some celery is actually self-blanching. These are a very leafy variety. The stalks are very pale.
A method of blanching that is common in Europe is trenching. This involves planting the celery in a trench, several weeks before maturity, the trench is filled with dirt also shading the stalks and causing them to come out white.
It takes anywhere between 120-140 days for celery to reach maturity. It is possible to tell that the stalks are ready when they are about one foot tall. If there has been no frost or damage the outside stalks can be used for cooking. If there has been some frost or pest damage the outside stalks may not be useful, but the insides should be just fine.
Celery can also be grown for the seed, in which case it should be allowed to "bolt". When the seeds are dry shake them into an air-tight container. Celery leaves are also edible, they can be used in soups or dried for later use.
Cultivating celery, like growing other vegetables in the garden can be a rewarding experience.

I refer, of course, to oatcakes. I made more today, using one cup of graham flour and one cup of all-purpose flour, and I swear, they're even better. A mite sweeter, and I still need to be careful when adding the water as the dough still ended up awfully sticky, as wet oatmeal is wont to do. I still didn't have parchment, so I just pressed the dough onto the cookie sheet and called it good, then cut the mass into bars when I took it out. So. GOOD.
Now I'm sort of wondering how they'd turn out if I used packets of flavored instant oatmeal. Might give that a whirl, if I can figure out how much sugar there is per packet. Either that, or I'll add a chopped apple and a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon. I think that would be delicious. Or raisins. Raisins are also delicious.
Oh, the possibilities... But for now, I need to finish getting my stuff together and get ready to roll out. I'm going down to the Cape tonight to visit Joe and taking a bunch of stuff with me, and I want to get it at least staged before I shower.

Violent clashes erupted yesterday at the MDC party offices after a dozen party youths stormed the meeting that was being addressed by deputy president Thokozani Khupe.
The violence erupted around mid-morning, disrupting the meeting dubbed "coalition agreement feedback" for almost an hour in a fracas that left one injured.
Office windows were shattered as the angry youths stoned the building. The main auditorium was littered with broken glasses and blood, with stones all over the floor.
When the Daily News arrived at the party offices, party youths could be seen manning all corners of the building to beef up security as the meeting progressed.
According to a memo sent to the national executive, yesterday's meeting was supposed to be attended by national and provincial executive committee members from Bulawayo, Matabeleland South and Matabeleland North to discuss the coalition agreement and way forward.
The violence follows an agreement inked between MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai and six other opposition leaders that Tsvangirai be their presidential candidate under a unified banner.
According to witnesses, a truck carrying about 15 youths descended at the meeting where they confronted Khupe over her decision to hold an "unsanctioned" meeting after boycotting the grand coalition launch in Harare.
Khupe, national organising secretary Abednico Bhebhe and chairperson Lovemore Moyo did not attend the launch of the grand coalition in the capital, but were at yesterday's Bulawayo meeting.
Reporters were barred from covering the meeting but Bhebhe later told journalists that the "thugs" had indicated to them that they had been sent by Tsvangirai.
"We are a democratic party and democracy should prevail.
"We are all shocked somebody sent a team from Harare to come and beat us up. That team came in the name of the president. We are going to confront the president and ask him why he will send a team to beat us up. We want to find out," Bhebhe said.
As Bhebhe was briefing reporters, Khupe could be overheard addressing those in attendance that she was not happy with the way they were being treated.
"It's clear we are nothing in the MDC. We are in this party at their benevolence," Khupe said.
"The MDC is what it is today because of the Matabeleland vote but this is how they treat us.
"This meeting was authorised by Bhebhe and Moyo and who are they to then question why we are holding this meeting, and disrupting it.
"My heart bleeds over this incident, especially noting all our sacrifices that have made Tsvangirai to what he is today," she fumed.
Khupe is on record saying there was no need for a coalition in Matabeleland as the party has been performing well during elections in this part of the country, adding that such a deal was only relevant in Mashonaland provinces

Science and Reading
This morning we went to playgroup at the park. When we got home we ate lunch. Luke and Isabel wrote down their observations of their moldy bread experiment and they then watched a Bill Nye the Science Guy about plants. Afterward we had a plant experiment. We put some celery into a glass of water with red food coloring in it and later saw the red water inside the celery. Next we had reading time. We all got out our pillows and blankets and flopped on the floor with our own books. Isabel listened to books on tape.

Checklist for acquiring a technology product or solution
'The Checklist Manifesto' has applicability to buying tech for aging. I just finished reading "The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right" by Atul Gawande, a surgeon who developed a checklist to improve surgery safety for WHO and his own operating room. Which brings me to the question of whether caregivers and organizations with caregiving responsibility -- like families, home care organizations, senior housing, GCMs, doctors, non-profits, etc. -- have a checklist they follow when purchasing a product or service? So here's a proposed checklist which needs revision, I'm sure. Input is most welcome!
You're considering buying tech -- first do an assessment. The first part of this checklist should clarify why, for whom, and what changes are implied by introducing technology.
- Clearly define the problem's true nature. At the problem end of the spectrum, some take on a new degree of urgency for professional or family caregivers following a discharge from a rehab or when an individual has fallen repeatedly. But what may appear as a risk of falling is really a problem with medication non-compliance and low blood pressure. And on the opportunity end, perhaps a non-profit senior center wants to enhance the quality of life of center visitors, but could also help fix a budget shortfall.
- Clarify the broader context around the solution. Organizations may want to implement a tool connecting caregiving aides to management to verify start and end times of visits, for example. While that problem may be well-defined, is there an opportunity to link in family members and provide them a status about- or a communication from the care recipient? Would that be a differentiator and even an upsell opportunity?
- Document and gain advance agreement on new processes. Bought-and-not deployed is a characteristic of purchases since the dawn of technology optimism (defined as 'a solution exists, we need that, let's buy it!'). The biggest barrier is managing behavioral change to incorporate new tech into a day-to-day process. A rule of thumb -- expect 5 times the cost to fully deploy across a multiple person organization. If you're a family caregiver, of course, the only behaviors you need to change are those of siblings and care recipient. But if you attached a cost to that effort, no doubt it would be 5 times the cost of any tech you purchased. Just one scenario, who sets up the new solution, who is notified when there's a problem, what if they are not available, then who will be notified? If notified, what happens? Whose responsibility is it to do any of this?
Now you are scanning the market for alternatives. So the prerequesites for considering technology are all met and you or assigned organizational staff are looking out in the marketplace. What are your criteria for including an alternative in your search?
- What solutions exist to solve the problem or seize the opportunity? Trade shows and consumer events, advertising, and web searches may turn up a number of choices in a particular domain. Ideally, there are multiple choices because vendors recognize a viable market they want to enter. But is the price (if it is visible) a reasonable fit with budget and expectation? How do you set an expectation of cost in an emerging market? (Answer, with extreme difficulty). Does the cost match the scope of the problem (think smoke alarm, for example) or opportunity? Does the required infrastructure match the existing environment (wireless network, broadband, landline phone, computer operating system, etc.)?
- Is the manufacturer or solution provider reputable and competent? This is particularly vexing in a lengthy referral chain -- Organization A uses Organization B to source technologies, who in turn buys from Distributor C, who acquires technology from Manufacturer D. Or a family caregiver receives a recommendation from Doctor E about a product. In this multi-tiered world with no likely 'Consumer Reports' to verify quality, you're left with indicators -- consider robustness and recency of web content, the prior track record of executives, chats with call centers, proven product pilots, quantification of sales success, and best of all, verifiable references.
- Is the customer service for the solution or product adequate? For those who have tried to get support for 'free' e-mail or mobile tools, it may be exclusively found in online support forums -- no one to call, no one else to ask. But for purchased technologies or services, there should always be staff, integrators, customer service personnel, or someone at the other end of e-mail or phone support to help buyers or first-time users.
- What are the payment options? I always have a sinking feeling when I hear about solutions that cost multiple thousands of dollars per unit, where products are intended to help frail seniors who may be the neediest because of their chronic disease or frailty. Can these technologies be leased directly or through an intermediary for a defined and renewable term? Tried out with option to buy? Re-used for others than the initial recipients? Recycled as with cell phones? Terminated as a subscription service? Is the process for this well-documented or explained?
The product or solution has arrived or the subscription has begun. Meeting expectations is the next phase of the checklist, regardless of whether it is a business relationship, the product is delivered, or individuals are signing up for a new subscription to X or Y service.
- Test to make sure that it works as described. Aquiring a technology solution or service should not be an unwelcome surprise, whether it is the packaging, the ease of startup and implementation, or the user experience. The good news is that initial research and process documentation identified who to call when a product or service doesn't match expectation.
- Verify ongoing support processes or individuals. For any uncertainties or ambiguities, invoke the support processes identified in the solution research phase and verify that someone (or something) can help smooth out any problems or misunderstandings. This is even more critical when an organization is now in the business of reselling tech products to family members or seniors.
- Communicate your experience to others. You've done the research for yourself or on behalf of an organization, you've acquired solutions and you're very happy (or not). Make sure that you communicate your experience back out and up to the sources that referred you -- it's absolutely vital as a resource to help others make similar selections.
The Ecosystem is Morphing
We've been spending a lot of time evaluating a variety of aging-in-place technologies in a lab setting and are getting ready to push some out to pilot volunteers. It's quite fascinating and, too often, disappointing to listen to the claims of manufacturers about the wonders of their technology and then compare it to real world practice. Some of the simplest tech gadgets may end up being the most effective.
I do hope organizations can begin to share their experiences with the technologies, especially the tech that doesn't perform as hyped. In addition, since many of these systems collect sensitive private data, I'm finding it hard to stomach that many of the vendors have absolutely no privacy policy in place. When Joe the Junior Programmer has access to all your data - weight, blood pressure and ADL - you really want to know that his employer has schooled him on privacy and that he is not going to give away or sell that data.
With regard to payment options, we've been pleased that many vendors seem to have adopted a rental model with low upfront costs and many have a money-back trial period. This is truly a benefit for seniors as it gives them an opportunity to see if the tech can work in their environment.
But, all vendors should understand that lots of this gear is a high-touch installation and a $50 fee isn't going to cut it. We have a ways to go to make this a viable ecosystem for everyone involved.
Soluiton Check List
Laurie, Thank you for reminding us that the products and recommendations we make must solve a problem, provide a benefit or at least maintain the status quo. The thought of a good technology vendor should be the same as a doctor. The first rule should be "do no harm". It would also help if vendors draw a solid line between those products that meet the needs of a facilitiy and the adminitration, versus those that meet the needs of an individual. Requirements are very different in many cases and reasons for buying can be drastically different.
Our biggest challenge continues to be education. From the customer to the vendor and from the vendor to the customer. LEt's all try to listen better.
Home assessment checklists
Checklists are not only important for high-tech solutions, but low-tech ones as well (from daily living aids to home modifications and remodeling). It's all about getting to the root of the problem and finding the solution that's right for you and your family. Aging in place is a complicated prospect and it differs for every family, every home and every situation.
At Dynamic Living Inc. we think checklists are absolutely the way to go. Just as Laurie points out, the first thing that needs to be done when coming up with a solution is a thorough assessment. We have recently developed a home assessment survey: a list of probing questions that will help you identify problem areas in your home so that you can plan a new home or remodel your current one more effectively for your specific needs and budget.
Like Laurie's checklist above, this is a work in progress and we welcome any comments or suggestions.

Surgical intervention in the case of scoliosis has not proven to be rewarding for patients that have undergone such procedures. These treatments may provide a certain degree of relief from the unbearable back and neck pain during the initial phase but their effectiveness is not long lasting. People who undergo such surgeries often have to face several uncomfortable scenarios. Spinal implants often get corroded with time and result in life-threatening situations. The side effects of Harrington rods are extremely painful and decrease the quality of life in those who choose that option. The patient not only becomes restricted in respect to spinal movements, but also struggles with constant pain.
In spite of solid fusions, breakage of Harrington rods has become an extremely common issue in scoliosis patients. Movement or breakage of implants causes a lot of trouble and fixing the failure of a scoliosis surgery is an extremely complicated process. Improper alignment or excessive stress on the spine/rods often results in such conditions. Localized pain is one of the early broken Harrington rod symptoms which should not be neglected. Traditional therapies and massages will not alleviate this pain.
Despite popular belief, surgery is not the only solution to scoliosis. Dealing with the after-effects of broken Harrington rods is not an ideal situation. Scoliosis Correction Center takes pride in providing free consultations to those who suffer from scoliosis and provide effective solutions for preventing progression of such dysfunctions. Their team of experts is up-to-date with the possible alternatives to scoliosis surgery. If you are experiencing symptoms of a broken Harrington rod, believe you may have scoliosis or recently been diagnosed with scoliosis, get in touch with the Scoliosis Correction Center to explore the best course of treatment.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (June 17, 2015) — Concrete from the Indy ArtsGarden fell onto a downtown intersection Wednesday evening.
Fortunately, no one was injured, and the scene was quickly cleared.

I also tried the English Standard Version for a while and I enjoy that as well. However, my favorite translation and the one which I am beginning to preach out of again is the New Living Translation. I'm just curious, which translation do you guys use and why?

Emily Ratajkowski has been blessing the internet with sexy snapshots ever since she shot to fame after stripping off for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" video three years ago. Whether it's on the beach, at a party, or inside her own bedroom, the supermodel never fails to surprise everyone with her posts. And here we are staring and double-tapping on every Instagram picture that she shares with the world.
Speaking of surprises, the 25-year-old svelte goddess left nothing to the imagination once again on Tuesday. In a recent post, Emrata posed in her birthday suit against a white wall, wearing nothing but gold hoop earrings and a matching delicate body chain.
Lucky jewelry.
But the surprises don't stop there. What's more interesting (and sizzling) are her tagged photos, which show Emrata and her friends enjoying a holiday in Cancun, Mexico. Here we can see her confidently showing off every inch of her all-natural, gorgeous figure on the beach. Look:
Thank you so much, Emily! We can't wait for the next set of fiery photos!

It was just another early Thursday afternoon when Jeremy asked if I was going to stick around for the show. Of course I was caught off guard because I didn't know who was playing. The line up was killer. Gazelles, This Patch of Sky, Gatherers (NJ), and Bent Knee (Boston).
I rushed home to grab a camera and ear protection. I made it back in time to have a couple of tacos and a beer, before the show kicked off with Gazelles. I can't even tell you how much i like this band. So loud and tight. A great energy and really nice people in-real-life. They show started earlier than normal and I saw Matt as he came in and mentioned that he missed Gazelles. It looked like his heart broke. I get it, I love this band too.
This Patch of Sky has a really cool sound, heavy and dreamy, if that's possible. They are so good, and so worth checking out.
Gatherers is a band I didn't know. They are a rock band from New Jersey touring with Bent Knee. They are loud. I like loud though. They are tight and definitely top-tier musicians. I think their tour is going well. They had a good audience and it went over well.
What can I say about Bent Knee that hasn't been said before? These guys are amazing. So good, so tight, even with a sit-in drummer (from Gatherers). I'm pretty sure this is the band everyone came to see. I saw them once a few years back in Portland. I didn't realize last night until I saw them on stage. When Jeremy told they were playing, I knew the band name and I didn't know why, until I saw them on stage.
I have no problem saying, putting a touring band on last in Eugene seems to be a risky move on a Thursday evening when the University is on a summer break. I have seen dozens of touring bands come through Eugene that end up playing to a handful of people. It worked out just fine this time.
The Hi-Fi is my go to spot for live music. It's just a solid venue and has a real cool vibe. I've never been let down there.

Your tool is working fine, but how do you know it is measuring accurately? That's where calibration comes in.
Calibration is determining and documenting the difference in readings given by a tool compared with a reading given by a measuring standard (fixed device that is known to be accurate). It is generally followed by the adjustment of the tool.
The process checks whether the values are within an acceptable range (tolerance level) in relation to the specific application. If not, then the equipment must be adjusted to make sure that the deviation between the actual and the required value is minimum, and that the tool will have its original performance accuracy restored, giving more precision. A calibration check can be done after adjustment of the tool.
The performance of tools and instruments tends to drift over time and every tool loses accuracy to some extent. The following example shows how the torque of a BlueTork nutrunner, which is used to tighten the bolts on truck wheels, can vary over a few years under normal operating conditions.
Although the torque value is the same, the actual measured value is different. In the first couple of years that value is still within the tolerance interval, but at year three, it falls outside the tolerance interval and the nutrunner must be adjusted to ensure it continues to give an accurate result.
" Calibration is essential to maintain tools' accuracy and repeatability over time. "
By calibrating and adjusting the tools, it ensures that their precision remains at the required level. This is important for a number of reasons:
At the end of the calibration process, a calibration certificate must be delivered by a laboratory complying with ISO/IEC 17025, proof that testing will be done with values based on a common traceable standard.
Note: a test certificate is different from a calibration certificate. Test certificates only show the performances of the tool at a given point of time.
Calibration must be performed on a dedicated calibration bench. The torque performance test is carried out to the measurement principles of ISO 5393 for rotary tools and ISO 6789-2 for manual torque wrenches.
|ISO Standard…
|… defines
|Quality management systems accreditation given to companies that prove they follow and adhere to processes including managing traceability and calibration.
|Performance test method of rotary tools for threaded fasteners for the measurement of torque repeatability (torque scatter)
|The calibration procedure for manual torque wrenches
|General requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of laboratories performing calibration
The quality standard ISO 9001 does not specify the calibration period and frequency depends on several factors: for example, the use of the tool and the environment. Calibration may need to be carried out as often as daily, or as little as yearly (for example, manual torque wrench calibration is recommended once a year or every 5000 cycles – whichever comes first).
So, ultimately, it is up to the maintenance manager to specify a reasonable calibration interval as they understand their job and the tools' application better than anyone else.
Tips to determine how often calibration should be carried out:

Janitorial Services
In 1983 a young couple in Garland, Texas decided it was time to found a company based on cleanliness, reliability, safety, customer service, and love of their Maker.

They decided to offer residential and commercial services and handle jobs of all types and sizes. And the services – which are bonded and totally guaranteed – are extremely cost-efficient. In fact, they have expanded from the original janitorial services to the popular "top to bottom" cleaning that covers everything from the light bulbs in ceiling fans to the bottom of the baseboards.
