Longtermer 5: Hyundai i10 1.25 CVVT 5th year ownership report
In this blog entry, I'm updating my Ownership experience of my 2012 Registered March 2013 Hyundai i10 1.25 CVVT. This is the 60th month or 5th year I owned the car. I took delivery of this car on 14 March 2013. Sorry for 2 weeks late update, I've Upgraded the ECU (5th anniversary present), monitoring the FC and performance.
I sent the I10 for "75,000km service" back in January 8, 2018. In reality, it's 63,000km only as it's calculated by months. Like my previous 2 service, I used Fully Synthetic Shell Helix Ultra, thus stretching service intervals to 6 months OR 10,000km. Note to ALL Hyundai Owners, Hyundai Sime Darby is not as strict as Peugeot, VW OR Kia. They allow 15 days OR 1,000km +/- tolerance level.
Back in June 2017, I upgraded my Car DVR and Custom made Coil mats.

During my last service on 8 January 2018, I changed the ATF, Fully synthetic Oil, spark plugs, Brake fluid, Alignment and balancing. I was told the front brake pads (296), Cabin filter (72) and rear absorbers (RM734) needs changing. I bought these parts outside at PH Auto Sea Park for RM68.90, RM37.10 and RM328.60 respectively.
I decided to Change my Brake pads, cabin filter and Rear absorbers outside.
Guess what, I bought the Brake pads to my Friend shop San Xing Auto, Puchong. The mechanic said Old brake pads still have 50% left. I was advised not to change, keep it. As for the Absorbers, I bought for RM328.60 + RM25 labor) (Service center quoted me RM736.00 including labor).
2 weeks ago, I renewed the Road tax (RM72.10 - post office price) and Insurance (RM445.35) Tokio Marine comprehensive for RM21,000.

Test drive to agree with me. There's a reason behind...
Apparently the i10's Engineered, designed and tuned in India. This is to meet Indians requirements. This explained the Robustness of the chassis and suspension. Built to take on Indian Roads... If the i10 can survive Indian Roads, then Malaysian road conditions are piece of cake.
Note that our i10s are CKD, but the CKD pack Came from INDIA. The i10's only produced in 3 countries and NONE are Korea. It's Kulim, Malaysia, Chennai India and Mexico.
OVERALL I have NO REGRET Buying this Hyundai i10. Rating 9/10. Can't wait to service outside once 5 years warranty over. As some of its spare parts price were heavily marked up. Eg. Brake pads, plugs, absorbers and Engine mountings.
If you want to test drive or buy the i10, please call me Jefferson Lim at 012-6852-718.
If you want to test drive or buy the i10, please call me Jefferson Lim at 012-6852-718.
Before I go, here's a parting shot:
Seeing double.
That's all folks, thanks for having the time and patience to read this blog entry. An original Jefferson Lim's production. Copy like a man, don't plagiarize.

"But, it's my birthday tomorrow; they're having a party for me. I want you to come!" My friend, Rey, was pleading with me, not to go to his birthday party, but to his Bible Study. How many times had I already told him no?
"Rey, I told you. I'm a Catholic and I'm happy being a Catholic. I don't want to go to your Bible Study. Yes, I know there are some nice, college-age people there and it would be good to meet new people but, really, I'm not interested." I looked back down at the textbook I had been reading just prior to Rey's interruption. As that night's on-call student technician, I had to sit at the reception desk of the Radiology Department until 10:00 P.M., at which point I moved over to the on-call room to sleep while waiting for the phone to ring. Rey worked as an orderly during the evening shift so often made his way down from where it was he had been assigned to greet me.
"But, how do you know you don't want to go until you actually do go? You don't know what you're missing." The brilliant smile radiated from this kind, young Philippino man's face. "Besides, it's different this time. It's my birthday and there'll be cake and everything."
"So, they won't have the Bible Study or some kind of a prayer meeting. Just a party?" Hmmm? Potentially promising place to meet young people.
"Well, no, they'll still have the Bible Study but there'll be ice cream and cake afterwards. Please, come!"
"Nope. You may as well stop asking me, Rey. I'm just not going to any Bible Study." My mind was made up and the grim stare in those narrowing eyes showed my resolve.
"Well, okay, where's my present then? I expect you to get me a present for my birthday. It's what friends do, isn't it?" That smile, how could it get any wider?
"You know I don't have any money, even if I had time to go shopping after work tomorrow. I can't give you a present, Rey." My face relaxed, both shoulders beginning to slump. I really did like this guy. He and my roommate were now dating and he was a hoot to be with. I looked forward to his visits on the boring evenings I waited for someone to need an x-ray.
"Oh yes, you can give me a present. Something I want very much." The twinkle in his eye added to my anxiety. "There is just one present that will be perfect for this birthday."
Looking down, I shook my head. "Not going to happen, dear Rey."
"Oh, I get it; I see what the problem is now. I should have known; I didn't get it but now I do. You're afraid to go to the Bible Study. You're just afraid to see that you might like it and then what? You might want to go back; that's what!" Rey was bobbing and weaving as he danced around the desk, taunting me… and smiling, of course.
"You're crazy. I'm not afraid of a Bible Study. I just don't want to go."
"Oh yeah? I dare you to go. If you're not afraid, then go tomorrow night. You can just tell people you came for the birthday party, or you don't have to say a single word, if you don't want to. It can be my present so you don't have to buy me one. What do ya say?" What a fix I'd gotten myself into here. I never backed down to a dare, unless I was illegal or harmful. Was this harmful? Not likely.
"Oh, good grief, Rey. I'll show you. I'll take that dare. I'll go with you but I will not say a word the whole time. You can tell those people whatever you want to about me. But, when it is over and you take me home, I don't want to hear another word about this Bible Study again! You got that?" He was about to burst with excitement over his long-fought, hard-won victory, while I was wondering what in the world I had done. I was, definitely, not smiling back at him.
Later, stretched out on the top bunk, hoping the phone would not ring to get me out of that bed all night, I reviewed and regretted my conversation with Rey. I hadn't even asked him what I should wear to this thing. I mean, it was a party but it was also church, kind of. What does a person wear? My mother is still one of those people who would prefer to be over-dressed to being under-dressed for any occasion so I deferred to her attire advice. Dress like I was going to church not a birthday party. No, I had never seen my roommate before she went to the Bible Study with Rey because I was on-call the nights she wasn't. I would never ask her what to wear because I didn't want to have that whole area of conversation get started. I'd just dress as though I was going to church and that would be enough. Besides, I wouldn't be seeing these people after tonight anyway so what did it matter if I wasn't dressed right?
In less than twenty-four hours, I would have an encounter that I had never in my life imagined. What I was wearing was, so totally, unimportant.

"There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken."
Two years ago, Lorrie's mother was murdered. But that wasn't the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie's father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.
The two most important people in Lorrie's life are both gone but she's still alive.
Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to "normal."
Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, "The Hammer."
Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he's got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he's got a devil-may-care attitude, he's fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can't defeat.
Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.
As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?

An Okay book. This is the type of book that you pick up because the blurb intrigues you and you want to delve right into it and find out what the story really is about. Sadly, it was also the kind of book that doesn't live up to its hype, simply because the concept was not executed properly. Don't get me wrong, this story had a lot of things going for it. First, the characters were complex and interesting and seeing them come together should have made for a wonderful read. However, it was too chaotic and cagey. Add to that the fact that the pace of the story dragged in the beginning and whatever anticipation I had about the main characters getting together slowly vanished leaving in its place disappointment. Second, the emotions and angsty level of the story was something I was looking forward to. I love watching how my characters overcome their demons and I very much wanted to see Lorrie and Hunter do that in this story. But again, it was not to be. It focused mainly on Lorrie's problems, which was fine up to a point. But I did not appreciate having to reach almost the end of the book to find out what the hell was troubling Hunter. And then not having them deal with it at all. And lastly, the romance between these two had a lot of potential since their chemistry was palpable from the start. But really, some things are just better in small doses. It threw me off the story and whatever investment I had made towards their relationship succeeding, was squashed after Lorrie and Hunter spent a few days together. Sex does not a connection make. Not for me. I admit to being curious about what is going to happen next, but I don't think I'll be in any hurry about it. All in all, an okay book. Especially if you don't mind cliffhangers. It just didn't work for me.
OMG, I want the next book! RIGHT NOW!! Do you love MMA fighter novels? Do you love characters with tragic pasts? Well then you will LOVE this book! It's been a while since I've read a book with a fighter as a main character, and this was a fantastic way to get back into them! As Lorrie puts it herself, she and Hunter are damaged goods...broken. But what neither of them seems to realize, at least in the beginning, is that they still have so much to offer each other, and that by being with each other, they could have the opportunity to heal. Lorrie's parents are both dead, one by murder, the other later by suicide. Hunter doesn't seem to know about it, despite the fact that the trial for her mother's murder was televised, and most of their college campus is constantly buzzing with rumors about her and her family. But Hunter has a secret of his own that he's keeping. If they would just both be completely honest with each other...*sigh*...but they aren't. It's so easy to see how much Hunter cares about Lorrie, even if she is too blind to see it all the time. And it made it very easy for me to fall in love with Hunter. Seriously, y'all will just want to fix all his brokenness, and love him up. :) And Lorrie, I wish I could reach right into this story, and be another person who is there for her 100%. People are cruel, and she deserves so much better than what most of her fellow classmates give her. They are constantly spreading rumors, or making conjectures, and it was driving me CrAzY! Lorrie is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for. To be honest, if I were in her same situation, I don't know if I could have handled it half as well as she did. This is the first book by Priscilla West that I've ever read, but boy does she know how to take her readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions! Her writing is raw, and honest, and she reveals things at just the right times to make it so you have to know what happens next! And let's not forget, there is some total HOTNESS going on in this book! I read this book almost in one sitting (I slept for a few hours in the wee hours of the morning.) and I can't imagine how much hair I would have pulled out if I wouldn't have had the time to finish reading it right away. Lorrie and Hunter's story will give you ALL THE FEELS, and the ending will leave you craving more! I can't wait until the next book comes out!
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review, so here it is. This is an emotional roller coaster ride and you will be glued to each word just to see what happens. We meet Lorrie starting a semester at college. She has deferred the last three semesters due to unforeseen events in her life. Two years ago her mother is murdered by her stepfather and a few months ago her father committed suicide because he still loved her mother and can't live life without her in it. Now Lorrie is trying to move on and be "normal". She is on a double date with her best friend and the guy is a douche. There are others at the bar talking about something and Lorrie heads out back to see what is going on. There she sees the man who saved her from the icy waters of Lake Teewee, Hunter "The Hammer" Jensen. Hunter is an MMA fighter and he is all muscle and hard body, not to mention gorgeous. Hunter sees something in her he can relate to and wants to be near her. They both have baggage and really need to stay away from each other. But they are drawn together. So much pain for them both, ex-girlfriend and secrets are hard to hide. Love Priscilla West's writing style, I have read many of her stories and can't wait for Rescued (Wrecked book 2). This is a great story. Pick it up and enjoy the ride, I sure did.
This is a story about two people that are both dealing with some tragic things that have happened in their lives. Lorrie has just return to school to try to move on with her life when she meets Hunter. They agree to be friends since neither is really ready or looking for more in a relationship. However that changes once they start spending more time together. Each has their secrets and its those secrets that will end up causing friction between them. They try to have a relationship without listening to the gossip other spread about them. This is a very emotional love story and you will definitely be crying as you read but it is worth it. I loved this story and can't wait to read the next installment to this story.
great story
I was totally addicted to these books! Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down, the story moves along and there is never any parts that drag on! A great modern day "love" story that is not sicky sweet, cant wait for more in this series. I have now read all three series she has written and NEED more! Forget 50 Shades, this is a great story with steamy love too!
Lorrie Burnham had been through hell. After her mother's murder and then her father's suicide, she decides to go back to college. This is where she meets Hunter Jensen, cage fighter and fellow college student. He wants to date her but she's not ready for a relationship, so they become friends. When you spend a lot of time with someone, feelings are bound to deepen. They became inseparable. They both have issues that they've not told each other about and secrets are never good for anyone, especially these two. This book grabbed a hold of me and wouldn't let go until I read the last page. This is a fantastic emotionally charged romance between two people who needed each other but were afraid to tell each other the messed up hand that life had dealt them. They would rather live in "new romance fantasy land" than deal with real life issues. They had explosive chemistry! Hunter had tremendous will power to just be her friend when all he wanted to do was devour her. WOW! I was so engulfed in this book that I lost track of time. There was no ending because this story continues in the next book. I loved it and I can't wait to read the next one in this amazing series. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Where is book two. Needs more than 89 pages.
Very good book. Keeps you on your toes. I am reading the second book now. Rescued is just as good. I can't stop reading it. I am looking foward to reading other books From this author as well. *****
Three star only because I thought I was getting the complete novel. Make sure youbuy the complete book. Other thanthat, it was a warm beginning to a fun emotional serires.
The title of this book is fitting, because the ending left me wrecked! I don't know if I'm just really emotional or what, but this book had its tear jerker moments. I couldn't wait to start the next one and see how the story ended! Love Priscilla West's style and flow, can't wait to see more from her!
I like this story, but Lorrie is a little whiney and Hunter is a little too good to be true. My biggest problems is that my Nook copy has lines whited out, almost like the author was editing the story. Hope the sequel doesn't have that problem.
This is a very emotional story. Both main charactors are broken almost beyond repear,but somehow they find everything gets better when their in it together. The dialog between these two is mostly sarcastic and funny as hell. Until rumors rear their ugly heads and the pain from each of their pasts come back to haunt them both.
*I RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS BOOK VIA NETGALLEY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW* Honestly I was a little wary before I began reading this book. I'm a fan of the college romance & I'm a fan of the athlete/fighter stories. The drawback to reading so many stories especially in the New Adult genre is that certain plot lines begin to feel redundant. I was pleasantly surprised that Wrecked actually kept me interested and even smiling at a few different occasions. Not so surprising is that we have the hot tattooed & muscled bad boy fighter with a reputation in the cage and in the bedroom, who becomes intrigued with the girl who does not want a relationship. They quickly develop a blurred line friendship although Hunter makes it clear that he wants more. "To Snorrie and Gunther. May their friendship be filled with miscommunication and drama." Once they give in to their true desire it becomes an all consuming passion for each other. They both have their own secrets...private battles... and thus gives the story a twist that I honestly wasn't expecting. It something that gave this story an edge over the other "fighter stories" I've read previously. No spoilers... "Maybe a little pain now is better than a lot of pain later..." The highlight of this story for me is Hunter. How could I not feel a little swoony over a six foot two, ripped brawler, with gorgeous eyes and a tender side that makes your heart flutter a bit? (Answer: I can't.) Did I mention he kind of looks like Tom Hardy? **SWOON** But even more than his looks is his personality. I loved what he brought to the story. He has a genuine sweet side that made him so endearing. The drawback for me unfortunately was Lorrie. *Sigh* I hate that I felt frustrated with her most of the story. The mixed signals and jealousy began to irk me just as much as they drove Hunter nuts. I get that she has her own baggage to deal with but I hate that she seemed to use that as her defense for the push/pull going on with Hunter. Some of her reactions were a little over the top as well. Though I might add that I did feel slightly more defensive of her towards the end of the book. Be aware this book does leave on a cliff hanger but because the second book is already available you don't have to wait too long to find out what happens next. I'm giving this book a solid 3.5 Stars
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This is an amazing story! Lorrie has had an unfortunate turn of events in her life and now as she goes back to college after missing several semesters she is simply looking to get back into the swing of things and try to have a normal stress free life, the last thing she expected was to run into the gorgeous bad boy Hunter. This book really gives a great story line and makes you fall in love with the characters. I also loved that you had a chance to see and understand the feelings between the characters before it jumped into the naughty stuff. For an Erotica type story it wasn't overly detailed just giving enough details to make it hot!! I would recommend this book for anyone who loves romance, chick-lit, and erotica. I can not wait to read the second book Rescued!!
A great start and a suspenseful, hopeful ending. Can't wait to start the second book.

The Federal Government has okayed Kano State government's proposal of 540 megawatt Qua Iboe Power Plant (QIPP) for the re-industrialisation plan of the state.
The Minister of Finance, Mrs Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, gave the Federal Government's assurance yesterday, when she received Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his team in Abuja.
The minister in a statement signed by her special Adviser on media and communications, Mr Paul Ella Abechi, said, "Let me assure you that it is not an issue of if this project will take place but when, because we have a very huge power gap and it is more in the northern part than in the south. And when we see an opportunity like this, we have the responsibility to ensure it comes to fruition."
She also said, "We are looking at this as a pilot project as it will help mitigate Federal Government's plan. The ability to provide a counter guarantee will go a long way to reduce the burden on the Federal Government."
She added that it will help to improve the industrialisation plan, growth and employment generation for the state.
"I want to make a commitment that the Ministry of Finance will put up our best efforts to make it a success. I hope at the end of the day it will be on record that during my tenure that I contributed to the industrialisation of Kano," she added.
Earlier, Governor Ganduje had said he had been fully briefed of the meeting between the Ministry of Finance and the board of BlackRhino Group, which was chaired by the Emir of Kano, His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II, assured that the state government will provide protection against the financial risk of the power project.
The governor noted that the project is worth billions of dollars and when completed it will aid the industrialisation drive of the state.

Each member of the 2014-2015 Mayor's Star Council (MSC) class joined this civic-minded organization for their respective reason(s), however the common thread, tying our class together lies in our unequivocal commitment to service and to the city of Dallas. Over the course of the next 12 months our class will collectively immerse themselves in a variety of service-oriented endeavors – most notably, the "MSC Project." In short, the "MSC Project" is a continuation of the capstone project introduced by the original MSC classes, which specifically, focuses on developing and cultivating a group of young student leaders from five high schools located within the Mayor's GrowSouth initiative (Adamson, Roosevelt, Madison, South Oak Cliff, Lincoln). This group of nearly 30 sophomore student leaders, from across the five GrowSouth campuses, is selected through an application process, to form, The Mayor's Rising Star Council (MRSC). While assuming a number of responsibilities, the primary function of the MRSC is to work alongside the MSC class to define and implement a culminating project that not only builds their leadership capacity, but also allows the MRSC to connect with and better understand their local communities through the creation of a tangible deliverable.
As the 2014-2015 Project Committee launches its 2014-2015 campaign, we are most excited about building on the strength and momentum of past MRSC classes. Now in its third year, the MSC has been able to foster and facilitate the development of two incredible MRSC classes. These past classes will now serve as ambassadors and alumni not only to the upcoming MRSC class, but also as MRSC ambassadors within the context of their respective schools and local communities.
Over the course of the last several weeks' the MSC Project Committee has started meeting with school leadership from the GrowSouth schools in an effort to develop a MRSC recruitment strategy as well as identify key points of contacts at each school. In our early meetings with school leadership, the positive impact the MRSC program has had within the schools is clearly evident. This impact is primarily the result of the strong relationship's earlier MSC classes have formed with school leaders – an aspect (relationship building), which our committee will certainly continue to perpetuate during our efforts this year.
Both the importance and difficulty of the nature of the work that lie ahead of our group is humbling. With that said, the collective opportunity we, the MSC, are afforded in working with a unique group such as the MRSC to create something of value for the city of Dallas, serves as one of the primary reasons we each committed to this organization. In the next month, the MSC Project Committee will release the 2014-2015 MRSC application to students, select our 2014-2015 MRSC class, engage the larger MSC group with the MSC Project and Project Calendar, and continue to build awareness of the MRSC throughout the GrowSouth schools and their communities.
The power of this MSC Project exists in its collaborative nature. We truly have a blank piece of paper in front of us – and we look forward to what we are able to collectively design for the betterment of the city of Dallas.

Géricault(Born: twenty six Sept 1791; Rouen, Normandy, France-Died: twenty six Gregorian calendar month 1824; Paris, France), Jean prizefighter ANDRE Theodore, French painter, the leader of the French realistic college, was born at Rouen in 1791. Géricault was AN influential French painter and graphic artist, renowned for The Raft of the Medusa and different paintings.
In 1808 he entered the studio of Charles Vernet, from which, in 1810, he passed to it of Guérin, whom he drove to despair by his passion for Rubens, and by the unorthodox manner during which he persisted in decoding nature.
As a student Géricault learned the traditions of English sporting art from the French painter Carle Vernet, and he developed a noteworthy facility for capturing animal movement. He additionally down pat classicist figure construction and composition beneath the academician Pierre Guérin. Another student of Guérin, Eugène Delacroix, was deeply influenced by Géricault, finding in his example a significant purpose of departure for his own art.
At the Salon of 1812 Géricault attracted attention by his Officier First State Chasseurs a Cheval (Louvre), a piece during which he personified the cavalry in its hour of triumph, and turned to account the solid coaching received from Guérin in rendering a picturesque purpose of read that was in itself a protest against the cherished convictions of the pseudo-classical college. 2 years later (1814) he re-exhibited this work accompanied with the reverse image trooper blessé (Louvre), and in each subjects known as attention to the interest of latest aspects of life, treated neglected forms of living type, and exhibited that mastery of and enjoyment of the horse that was a feature of his character.
whereas in Florence and Rome (1816–17), he became fascinated with sculpturer and Baroque art. His chief project at now was Race of the Riderless Horse, a heroic frieze composition (never completed) portraying a dangerous race that was AN annual event.
At the shut of 1822 he was once more in Paris, and made a good amount of comes for immense compositions, models in wax, and a horse écorché, as preliminary to the assembly of AN equestrian sculpture. His health was currently utterly undermined by numerous styles of excess, and on the twenty sixth of Gregorian calendar month 1824 he died, at the age of 33.

The traditional bread of the Indigenous Australian Aboriginal people, Bush Damper has survived generations as a staple diet for the nomadic lifestyle. Easy to make, cook and transport, damper was originally made with flour from the Lomandra Longifolia plant and cooked over an open fire. It is a dense filling bread that can be combined with both sweet and savoury meals.

Dear Friends,
This is the time of year when we reflect upon our good
work and plan ahead for the future. It has been a
challenging year as we continue to navigate government
budget cuts in Human Services and uncertainty from the
Federal level. We anticipate he coming years will be rocky
at best. And yet… we are motivated by our
accomplishments and energized as we anticipate and
create new possibilities.
Over the past twelve months we expanded our capacity at the CHS organic farm with a greenhouse and hydroponic operation. We now grow fresh produce year-round, sending wholesome and healthy free food to the people we serve. During the summer we participated in the Malden City Community Garden and
encouraged individuals to plant and harvest their own vegetables.
We recognized that a greater number of our individuals were aging-in- place and not participating in day
habilitation due to medical complications. We responded to their needs and created the Aging Day Program,
serving people in their homes and at designated company locations six days per week. Individuals over the age of fifty connect with their each other and their communities through active volunteerism, group activities, events and outings. The group creates meals and desserts for a women's shelter in Cambridge and offers support and connection to homeless veterans living in a shelter in Somerville.
We have utilized new revenues strictly for program functions and expansion of services. We choose to expand the programs that directly impact the lives of the people we serve. Our general and administrative costs are approximately 9.6%, much less than the industry average of 15%, and we diligently stretch our resources and capabilities to deliver needed services. We navigate the increasingly complex healthcare system to ensure our individuals receive the best care possible. We go above and beyond to create affordable housing opportunities. We ask the deeper questions, go the extra mile and accept even the most
challenging individuals into our services because we believe in the tradition of caring for others. Innovation fuels our imaginations and drives us to create lasting outcomes for the people we serve.
There is so much more we can achieve and we invite you to join with us to be a part of what is possible. By investing in the organization, you are assured that your financial contribution goes directly to expansion of our programs and services. We need your support so please give generously by visiting Our Donations Page.
Happy Holidays!

The lesbian-historical-fiction bloggers over at Bosom Friends just posted such a nice review of Sword of the Guardian!
"Romantically speaking, Sword of the Guardian is one of the most alluring love stories I've ever read. The characters of Shasta and Talon are so lively, and their romance is so captivating, it truly broke my heart to see their story end. The fact that we have access to them as individuals from a young age (especially in Shasta's case) allowed for a deeper connection to their characters that is hard to find nowadays. Seeing them grow as individuals alongside their growth as a couple was truly a treat…"

Thank you so much, ladies! <3

We're bringing it back to you!! Join us for another viewing of #amInext! This time in Philadelphia!
Behind the Walls, Between the Lines: #aminext? is a collaborative poetry exhibition drawing attention to the frequency of black injustice, specifically death, in America. The theme of the project highlights the fear of the black community, expressed through the means of social media, of being the next name behind a hashtag. The goal of this project is threefold: the first, to bring attention to that fear; second, to allow those of that community to have a platform to express their fear; and last, to move members of and outside the community to fight against the injustice, so that the fear is reduced, and ultimately eliminated.

Let The Good Times Roll
Charles Giles
At the Bates/Giles household we celebrate Mardi Gras. As a young person I spent time at a place in New York where Mardi Gras was celebrated (no, it is not strictly a New Orleans thing) and learned to enjoy the season there.
And Mardi Gras is a season. It ends on the day before Ash Wednesday, a day that has come to be called "Fat Tuesday," but the festival actually starts weeks earlier. There are many local clubs (called "kewes") that have their own parades and celebrations. I have long supported the Science Fiction Nerd krewe called The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus and watch the parade on YouTube every year.
For my household Mardi Gras usually means I will serve a King Cake or two, and I make an effort to cook Cajun. We put up a few special decorations. It's basically pretty low key but we take the motto of Mardi Gras "Laissez les bons temps rouler" (let the good times roll) seriously. We make an effort to get some humor into otherwise dreary winter days. The Comedy Channel, practical jokes and a determined effort not to take things seriously are the keys.
In 1979 Norman Cousins, the professor of medical humanities at UCLA, published a book titled The Anatomy of the Illness as Perceived by the Patient. It recounted his battle to overcome a degenerative disease called ankylosing spondylitis. He was told he had less that a one in five hundred chance of recovery.
Cousins was shocked at what he found going on at the hospital where he was staying. He found examples of improper nutrition, poor human care and overuse of medical technologies. He checked himself out and created his own recovery plan. He took Vitamin C and exposed himself to comedy movies and television shows. He recovered completely and quickly.
Emotions, in addition to everything else they may be, are biochemical states in the body. When you change your emotions you are changing your biochemistry. For many life-changing conditions, that can be enough to help you turn things around.
Laugher really is good medicine and Dr. Cousins became the poster boy for that proposition. I loved the book and took it seriously. My celebration of Mardi Gras is an annual reminder to go get some laughs.
These days the national news is dreadful. I've recommended a "news fast" to some of my clients who found themselves brought low by exposure to daily news. That's an extreme step but I do believe that laughter is an antidote for a lot of modern problems and so recommend it.
When was the last time you had a good laugh?

If you are not an audiophile, and are looking to buy a decent pair of budget Headphones, the JBL T-150A is something you should definitely consider. Surprisingly, it delivers a bit more than what you would expect from a pair of earphones in this price range. I recently got myself a JBL T-150A from Amazon and here is everything you need to know about it. I got the black variant, but it's available in a few other color choices. Here goes the detailed review.
Who is it for?
If you are a casual Music lover, JBL T-150A would surprise you with its crisp and clear audio quality. These are Budget Headphones and not for you, if you are one of those audiophiles who want to differentiate every note from the music.
What's in the box?
- A pair of JBL T-150A
- Interchangeable earbuds of S/M/L sizes
- Quick guide
Design and Build quality
Design is the first thing that will strike you about these cool and stylish pair of headphones, It has got a very ergonomic design that looks and feels good when you use them. The material is plastic just like how you'd expect from headphones in this price range, but it feels solid and you can tell that it's made to last. The quality of the cord is commendable and it feels really thick and tough. I would say the length of the cord is just perfect, neither too long nor short. The silicone earbuds are of good quality too. The 3.5 mm jack is gold plated. JBL has done a really great job with the build quality of these headphones.
JBL T-150A comes with mic and remote, which means you can have complete hands-free experience while attending calls or changing the music track. It has just one button for a variety of tasks. This button can be used to attend/cut calls. While playing music, pressing it once will play/pause the music, pressing twice will skip to the next song and pressing it thrice will take you back to the previous track.
Audio Performance
I must say that I am really impressed with the audio quality of the JBL T-150A. Despite being a pair of budget headphones, it gives out crisp and clear sound. Belonging to JBL's purebass series, they do have good bass output. The sound is a bit on the treble side although the added bass makes the combination perfect for music. The bass is not overpowering though, so if you are looking for very high bass, these are not for you. The sound isolation is really good with the T-150A and you should be careful if you use them in risky environments.
Pros and Cons
- Ergonomic design
- High quality build
- Perfect bass
- Comes with mic and remote
- Treble is on the high side
- No volume control buttons
Final verdict
The JBL T-150A is surprisingly good in every aspect for its budget price range. I have previously used the other best sellers in this price range like the Senheiser CX 180, but the JBL T-150A is definitely better than them in terms of design, build and audio performance. It is arguably the best pair of in-ear headphones you can get below 1000 INR. If you are looking for on-the-ear headphones, you can give Sony MDR ZX110 a try.

Hearty White Chicken Chili
This chili is our favorite on cold, dreary days. And it's easy to make using your canned goods!
I've showed you how to make and can your own broth, corn, and beans. To make this simple, comforting chili you will need:
2 qt canned beans
1 qt chicken broth
1 pint canned chicken
1 pint canned corn
1 packet dry ranch seasoning
4 oz cream cheese
Combine your beans, broth, chicken, and corn in a pot over medium heat. Add your dry ranch seasoning and mix well. When the chili is hot, add 4 oz cream cheese and stir until incorporated thoroughly. This is a quick meal that feeds four to six people. Reduce or double the recipe as needed.
**I know - chili doesn't have beans according to some folks. My chili has beans. And corn. If it makes you feel better to call it soup - do so. Just try it - it is a stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that will be a family favorite.

Playing House
Wanna see what is happening now?
I'm pretty good with it. Need to fluff up the bamboo. Maybe throw something on top of the plaster shelf on the grate...just some small touches, ya know?
Then, I moved on to my dining room. These columns were purchased for another project, but in the meantime, I thought I'd play around with them.
Remember the table y'all got goofy over last week? Check this out:
Kinda neat looking, but not practical for the space. I'll tear it all down when I tackle the column project. But, in the meantime, it was fun playing house this morning!
Happy Tuesday!

Warren seemed bored with his condition. Stuck with the IV on his feet, he could barely move let alone stand up. We were also apprehensive letting him move a lot for fear that the IV might get dislodged. That would mean a hell of a time trying to find his tiny vein to put the IV in. Luckily, we reached the quota of 24 hours of no fever by 6:30PM today. Dr. Garcia, Pediatrics – Infectious Disease, happily came in to announce that the results of the new blood test were good. White blood cells are now down to 8000. Likewise, his hemoglobin has increased to 11.9 (still not at the normal side of 12.0 but a lot better than the previous 9 something). So, the hemoglobin decrease must have just been caused by infection and is not indicative of Warren being anoemic though another test in the future would be needed to further confirm this case. He also had his IV removed to make sure that the low-grade fever is not being caused by infection in the IV. When this was removed, there seemed to be a slight swelling on the area. Instead of Kefox Cefuxamine injected in the IV, we have now switched to oral drops – Cefuxime. By 10PM tonight, Warren drowned 2.5ml of Cefuxime.
Unfortunately, Warren has developed dry coughs this afternoon. The occassional coughs yesterday has turned worse today. The doctor has given him Ventolin to cure. His voice is now coarse (paos) and I'm awake now since I've been trying to make him sleep since 1:30AM. He slept over my shoulders for 30minutes and tried to make him sleep upright a little. I've finally been able to put him on his bed to sleep. I don't know how. He hasn't cough again for a good 30minutes.
He is still at a sub-38 level. Hoping to get discharged soon.

Access and View Resource Information Version 14
This article describes important concepts about working with individual resources in Planview Enterprise.
Key Concepts and Best Practices
The Resources Menu, like the other menus that display when you select menu bar options relating to Planview entities, is divided into three sections: Show, Select, and Action.
- The Show section lets you choose between working with portfolios or individual resources.
- The Select section is where you select which resource to work with.
- The Action section is where you choose what to do with your selected resource.
Defining the resource attributes that are important to your company is the first step to tracking the information and using it to forecast or define requirements. To ensure that the information is useful, it must be maintained. This means updating the data about skills, roles, and areas of interest on a regular basis so the information remains current. Where practical, skills should be further subclassified in a skills hierarchy, such as business skills (e.g., project management, business, business analysis, etc.), technical skills (e.g., Oracle, Java, etc.), and application or product knowledge specific to each organization. The master list of skills is maintained by your administrator.
If attributes are available to be split by percentage, the percentage must equal 100%. For example, a resource may be billed back 25% to one department and 75% to another department.
Managing this information can require some administrative overhead, the amount of which is determined by the number of resources being managed and the frequency with which the information changes. Planview recommends that resource managers update the attributes for their direct reports; however, Planview Enterprise can support allowing resources to update their own attributes, if needed. If this is necessary, talk with your administrator.
Your administrator may have marked history tracking on some attributes. The history button is available to see history regarding those attributes.

Anticipating a visit from the Tooth Fairy is something that kids and parents remember for the rest of their lives, and is a treasured part of parenting. To make your child's experience special, consider some variations on the norm, and shake things up by trying one of these tips brought to you by the team at Dental Care of Frisco. You will be building lasting memories, and you may even start a new tradition!
Leave a Tooth Receipt
You get receipts at the grocery store, restaurants and theme parks, so why not from the Tooth Fairy? There are online templates made just for Tooth Fairy receipts, or you could craft your own personalized version. How about a note along the lines of "Thank you for this sparkly tooth to add to my collection! I can tell that you are an excellent tooth-brusher, and I look forward to my next visit!" Your receipt can also include your child's name, the date and a note of what else the Tooth Fairy left behind.
A Glittery Reward
Everyone knows that fairies love sparkle, and the Tooth Fairy is no exception. Why wouldn't the money she leaves behind be just as fabulous as she is? A quick trip to the craft store can yield a can of glitter spray, which can then be used to make a few bills shimmer and shine. You might even have trouble getting your child to spend these special dollars!
Create a Unique Tooth Box
Forget about hiding lost teeth under a pillow! Today's Tooth Fairy is happy to retrieve her charms from a customized tooth box or tray. Help your child select a special object to hold teeth and rewards, and then customize it to suit their tastes. Decoupage, paint, glitter and jewel stickers are all great ways to create a one-of-a-kind tooth box or tray. Storing teeth somewhere other than in your child's bedding also makes it much easier for the Tooth Fairy to get the job done.
Track Your Child's Smile in a "Smilestone" Album
After the Tooth Fairy visits, keep the fun going by creating and adding to a special "Smilestones" photo album. Let your child choose their own small scrapbook or photo album from a crafts store, then decorate the cover. Each time a child loses a tooth, take a photo of their new smile and add it to the book, along with any notes left behind by the Tooth Fairy and journal entries from you and your child about how the tooth came out. This will be a keepsake that your child will likely treasure for the rest of their life.
Have a Backup Plan
Sometimes life just gets in the way, and the Tooth Fairy misses a pickup. That can be disappointing for a young child, so have a plan in place to handle these little incidents. Leave the tooth in the designated spot the next night, along with a note about the delay. Start out by saying how much your child missed the Tooth Fairy's visit, but that you understand that sometimes things don't go as planned. You might suggest that the Tooth Fairy may have had a surge in demand, or perhaps she ran out of fairy dust and had to restock.
At Dental Care of Frisco, we are honored to play a role in the development of healthy smiles and great dental health habits for kids from across the Frisco, TX area. We hope that these tips and ideas help you make the most out of your Tooth Fairy experience, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Celebrating Love
We met as neighbors, then became friends, and now we are family. We've shared many stories over morning coffee, late night smoke breaks, and crazy tea concoctions. She has seen me at my best and my worst. So when the opportunity came up to document her happiness through stills, I knew this would be one of the greatest gift I can offer and I jumped at the chance. ti voglio bene amica mia

Trump's "Muslim ban" is a frontal assault on many universal human rights principles. But the latest temporary reinstatement of the order's 120-day refugee ban – pending an anticipated October Supreme Court ruling – is already quietly undermining the most fundamental universal humanitarian rule: it puts women and children … last.
The Executive Order is being challenged primarily for discriminating against citizens of six Muslim-majority countries – Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – with an arbitrary 90-day travel ban (with arbitrary, potentially illegal exceptions for those with "bona fide relationships" to US residents.)

Transatlantic Thoughts: Blind focus on work is unfulfilling
Editor's note: Transatlantic Thoughts is a weekly column that examines Carnegie Mellon's student life from a foreigner's perspective. Find previous installments @thetartan.org.
This week, I will develop my reflection from two previous articles, published respectively on Sept. 25 and Oct. 9. Indeed, the workaholism culture combined with excessive professionalism in campus activities leads to the glorification of technique over everything else. The processes, meetings, carefully-written statements, and complex organizations seem to be more important than the original goal. The tools have become an end in themselves.
This phenomenon is hard to describe, and I can only refer to little things that seem innocuous taken separately. One club I'm a member of is starting anonymous "performance reviews" to evaluate the work of the managers. Another club I'm a part of keeps repeating administrative meetings every two weeks even though there has been no event related to the club's activity in over three months. Last year, I heard that the student Senate had to redo elections because the people didn't understand the new complex election method they had set up. Every email I receive from the student government seems like a vaguely committed statement of intent that rarely talks about any concrete thing. The fact is that very few people talk about these issues, and that people in the administration seem to care more about it than my fellow students.
I have the impression that this administrative and bureaucratic obsession is the ultimate expression of the Carnegie Mellon culture. The imperatives of formalism, complexity, and performance have overflowed from academic life into extracurricular life. But why is this so? In my opinion, the root of all evil is this false belief that one can use college to only get the specialized education necessary to land its supposedly dream job. As a freshman, entering Carnegie Mellon is a strong financial commitment. But this commitment can quickly turn into a prison: the six-figure tech positions for new graduates become the only way out of the student loans. Because of that, it becomes impossible to freely think about what you want to do with your life. And tech companies are very aware of that: during the recruiting process, you are not required to present a coherent professional plan for yourself. Furthermore, you are often asked to blindly trust the company to assign you to a team that would match your interests, only after they accept you inside the company.
This absence of self-reflection requirements throughout college here at Carnegie Mellon and even in the beginning of professional life is actually damaging to individuals. One of the symptoms is precisely the glorification of technique that I mentioned earlier. Because we are scared of reflecting on what we want our life to mean, academic work, and dealing with complex problems and processes become a mental shelter that is strengthened by the social dimension of the phenomenon: everyone does it, and the recent alumni that come to the Technical Opportunities Conference (TOC) to advertise for their company seem happy, so no need to worry. Worse, there is this mentality that the ultimate goal is to accumulate cash as fast as possible, and then enjoy a hypothetical freedom that would come with the possession of such a capital. But according to people in the administration in contact with recent grads, many of them wish they had done things differently at Carnegie Mellon.
Solutions to this problem exist and are in fact pretty simple: reduce the course load, change the grading policy to stop rewarding only the people that give up on their life to do their assignments, ensure that students get free time at least during a significant part of their curriculum, reserve half a day per week for extracurricular activities (no academic courses during this half of the day), give people a second chance by setting up free-of-charge second chance exams to pass a course if students have a D or less, harmonize the education requirements between the different colleges to ensure all students actually benefit from these policies, stop raising tuition each year, lower the maximum number of credits one can take in one semester, have the course's credit load actually reflect the number of hours students spend on it, have students write a mandatory statement of purpose two or three times during their curriculum to force them to reflect on their professional plan. I know this Santa Claus list contains elements that are difficult to implement, but these are the solutions Carnegie Mellon needs to really tackle its deepest issues.
Now, let us talk about what to reflect on once you've exited the Carnegie Mellon version of Plato's cave. The companies that recruit the most at Carnegie Mellon all want to "make the world a better place." This meaningless motto has been popularized by the series Silicon Valley as the one-size-fits-all ethical justification for every new tech initiative. But these tech companies are increasingly criticized for several factors: monopolistic positions and disproportionate impact of their decisions, uncontrolled spreading of social media propaganda, cooperation with the National Security Agency (NSA) for massive surveillance of the population, collection of private data for targeted advertising of worse purposes, and more. These concerns aren't acknowledged when the TOC comes to campus and the hallways of CMU fill with hours-long lines to get a CV fed into the complex machineries of new graduate recruiting processes.
Carnegie Mellon students are committed to many political issues and social service initiatives. This paper, for instance, takes a stand each week on national-level issues to promote diversity and inclusion. The recent student-led initiatives to help people in Puerto Rico are a statement of generosity and global awareness of the issues. Carnegie Mellon's students want to make the world a better place. But then, how can they forget that their most important contribution to this goal is actually the way they choose to use their intelligence and skills once they're out of the campus?
I am aware of the importance of the financial constraints here at Carnegie Mellon: it suffices that a professor writes a blunt comment about the price of a textbook to see this taboo issue rise violently in subsequent Piazza comments. I know that for many people a six-figure salary is a necessity when coming out of an expensive college, and that you sometimes have to put your convictions aside if you want to actually get a job. While there is no simple solution to this problem, my point is to raise awareness: be careful that your mental refuge of work and bureaucracy does not turn into a trap that prevents you from asking the most important questions in your life. That is the one right and freedom you should fight for. Because making the world a better place starts by its being a better place for you.

For two years, Apple has kept its original content plans on lock. That all changed Monday, when the company presented its upcoming slate of series during their "It's Showtime" presentation. A teaser showed some of the shows arriving on its streaming service, Apple TV+, this fall.
By far, the show I'm looking forward to most is The Morning Show starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. Another one that's on my radar is See featuring Jason Momoa as a blind warrior.
Other shows coming include the period piece Servant starring Hailee Steinfeld, Joel Kinnaman in Ron Moore's 1960s space-race drama For All Mankind, Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul in Truth Be Told, Amazing Stories from Steven Spielberg and the mystery drama, Home Before Dark, inspired by the real-life story of 11-year-old Hilde Lysiak.
Check out the preview below. Watch out Netflix and Hulu, you've got some serious competition coming.
Apple TV+ Preview — Coming Fall 2019

Full review: Spirit of 77 review
Spirit of 77 is a combination of street racers and kung-fu fighters, cross-country road races, and big scores in the big city with a killer '70s soundtrack. If you have ever wanted to cross paths with Bigfoot and punch him right in the face because he's asking for it, then Spirit of 77 is for you.
The DJ (GM) receives great roleplaying advice along with a series of moves they can make. Some are surprising like separate the PCs or capture someone. Each move is meant to add new challenges for the PCs to overcome. They also demonstrate how the designers envisioned Spirit of 77 being played and show how to run the game to achieve that vision.
Spirit of 77 is an entire game and setting packed into one book. Players will take part in high octane crazy adventures while listening to the music of the '70s. DJs will enjoy surprise after surprise as they react to the PCs' shenanigans via the City and its denizens. Spirit of 77 is a joy ride I highly recommend you take.
This game gave me genuine joy to read, and after some preparation, I gave it a spin in my game group. It was a huge hit. The mechanics worked well--fast, specific and satisfying. The improvisational nature of the game and the mechanics that make the players not the DJ, responsible for successes and failures, as well as lists of specific possible choices and outcomes, are particularly fun. The genre may take a little training for some groups, and setting the right tone and balance for the campaign are essential, but once you overcome those hurdles and start cranking the 70s hits, the setting and atmosphere are perfect, allowing the players to be goofy and action oriented at the same time without too much or too little of either. I cannot recommend this game enough.
I first heard of this game locally here in Los Angeles at a local convention, and through other friends there heard it was pretty fun. Not being a big 70s fan (I lived through them), I thought "well ok I'll try something new"...and showed up expecting the standard convention blargh-struggle of a game.
Damn...I was WAY wrong.
I met the creators of the setting, who by borrowing on the Apocalypse World rules framework, had created something that took on a life of its own. An open game that really opened up the Agency of a player into something huge and fun. The first two rules of this game are: 1) Have fun! (if it doesn't work, don't do it or change it...just have fun with it) and 2) To Do it, DO IT, which basically means if you want to do something in the game, frame the scene with whatever you need and make it happen. With rules like that starting it off, I knew this game would have "Story Crunch".
(Story Crunch is something I've come to define as games that put more emphasis on telling a story, and framing their game around it. I don't find "indie" a good name for what goes on here. Rules Crunch and Story Crunch...that's how you need to see things. I live for the crunch of a good story.)
Their two-pronged way of making characters with roles and backgrounds creates so many permutations, that you want to play a new character almost every time you sit down...and CAN. The group I ran through was ready to go in 20 min of just simple prep and rules explanation. Rules were light on the DJ's (GM's) side of things in order to keep things flowing. Players state what they want to do based on the actions in the system, whether it be Delivering a Beatdown, Smokin' His A$$, Getting what you want, Giving the Third Degree, or Freeing your Mind...and many others. It is simple and free flowing.
The GMing tactics were a bit of a surprise...the published adventures (which are in the supplement "Wide World of 77") are written like notes...not scripted. Here's a basic idea for the plot...with 4 or 5 good hooks into it, and a TON of suggestion on characters and motives and how to match them up to your players. The scenario I ran out of Wide World of 77...The Kaboom Show...had likely 15-20 different endings or routes players could go that I could see with my own 3 players...let alone a larger group. Open information to guide your players and tell a great story.
Just like how it should be.
Give it a look. It is worth its weight in gold if you want to try something new and fun. This is a $100 book wrapped up in a $10 PDF.
Spirit of 77 is just like Shaft...One Bad...SHUT YOUR MOUTH! :D
I haven't actually played this game as of yet but it's a killer read. There's multiple roles I'd like to play and I have a ton of adventure ideas. Can't wait to get it to the table!

LocalHarvest News - June 19, 2007
Welcome to this month's edition of the LocalHarvest newsletter, where we rant about what's wrong with American agriculture, praise what's good, and offer you recipes and information on healthy eating. This month we're featuring olive oil in our health and recipes sections, and Erin Barnett examines the almond industry's new pasteurization mandate.In This Issue:
'Safety' in Overdrive: Pasteurizing Almonds
Most mornings I get up, go downstairs, put on the kettle, and eat a handful of almonds while I wait for the water to boil. I make some toast and some tea. It has always seemed like a pretty tame way to start the day. The Almond Board of California disagrees, and has taken it upon themselves to save me from the danger lurking in my breakfast.
(Read on...)
From the LocalHarvest Catalog:
Good news! Patti Gonzales, an apricot and almond grower, sells her steam-pasteurized nuts through our catalog. Even though the mandate described above doesn't go into effect for several months, many nut processors have already begun pasteurizing. We were so happy to hear that hers are getting just the steam. You can get her "organically grown but not certified" nuts here.
And please do visit our catalog for more goodies!
Cool New Update to LocalHarvest
We are pleased to announce that this month Guillermo finally had a chance to overhaul the LocalHarvest map. Many of you may have noticed that the old map was a relic from the old days. The new and improved version shows roads, bodies of water, etc. thanks to Google. Guillermo also tweaked the LH search engine so it can sort search results from their distance to a central geographic point. This makes the results list much more accurate when doing zip code searches. Try it out! You'll like it.
Farmer John's Movie Opens Nationally
|Have you heard the buzz about "The Real Dirt on Farmer John"? It played in many smaller screenings last year, and has won awards at over 30 film festivals: now it's opening in select cities nationally. Farmer John is the creative genius and skilled farmer behind Angelic Organics, one of the nation's premier CSA farms. Find out more here: http://www.farmerjohnmovie.com/Screenings.html
Nancy's Nutrition Corner: Omnipotent Olive Oil
During the 1960s researchers began looking at different cultures to find links between diet and disease. In Greece, they found that a whopping 40 percent of the average male's caloric intake was from fat, however, most of the fat consumed was olive oil. Even with this high fat intake, mortality rates from heart disease and stroke were among the lowest in the world. These findings led scientists to suspect that olive oil, while not the only healthy element in the Mediterranean diet, might be one of the most significant.
Recipe Corner: Olive Oil - By Lorna Sass
When Thomas Jefferson tasted olive oil on his trip to Italy during the eighteenth century, he was so impressed by its flavor that he imported
olive trees and planted them at Monticello. Though Jefferson's attempts never bore fruit, over the next two centuries immigrants from Southern Italy found a welcoming environment for their olive trees in Northern California. As a result, American cooks have a wide variety of high quality domestic as well as imported oils from which to choose.
As always, thanks for your interest in and support of LocalHarvest.org! See you next month, and until then, take good care and eat well!

Automatic External Defibrillators and How to Use Them
Automated external defibrillators commonly referred to as AED are lightweight and portable gadgets that send an electric shock through the chest of someone who has a problem with the heart and is suffering from heart attacker.Read more about Automatic External Defibrillators at aed regulations. What the device does is to address the electric shock through the chest to the heart. When the electric shock reaches the heart, it stops the irregular heartbeat allowing the heart to beat at a standard rate and that prevents the cardiac arrest that causes the heart to malfunction causing it to stop suddenly. If the cardiac arrest is not treated within a specific time, it leads to sudden death to the victim.
When the attack occurs, the victim must be treated or defibrillated quickly because any delay minimizes the survival chances for the victim. The AEDs helps the heart attack victims to respond to a medical emergency. Because the AEDs are portable, they can be activated by non-medical people who are out to rescue the victims wherever the attack takes place. They can be allowed to be used by any rescue team together with 911 prompt deliveries of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. When used in the right way the device can help save lives.
An AED is a built-in computer that checks a victim's heart rhythm through some adhesive electrodes. The machine will give an indication when defibrillation is needed on the victim. What the rescuer is supposed to do after getting the rescue signal is to press the button.Read more about Automatic External Defibrillators at aeds . Once the device is activated, the shock is sent to the heart and stops all the activities of the heart giving a chance to resume the average rate of heartbeat. Even none medical people can use the device to help someone with a problem. So anyone in any rescue mission like the police can activate the victim's tool to help a victim from dying from heart attack.
There is no formal education or training required for the rescue person to be able to use the device. However, some guide is necessary to give the rescuer some confidence when using the method. At the same time, some sensitization is essential to help the public to know there is an existence of such device in case they are faced with a situation that may call for the activation of the same to save a life. That way they will be able to save lives of all those victims of heart attack who may need their help.Learn more from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_External_Defibrillators

"He is not here. He is risen!"
"Do this in memory of me." "It is finished."
"He is not here. He is risen!"
These three phrases help me to frame what is core to our Holy Week and Easter proclamation. Through bread and wine shared we join those first followers of Jesus. We remember and we receive what only God can offer; unconditional and unearned forgiveness and acceptance in spite of our imperfection. With arms stretched by nails in a crossbeam, with face dripping with blood pricked by his thorny crown, and with his last gasp of living breath God absorbs the worst humanity could offer.
God takes what seems like the ultimate sign of weakness and defeat and declares God has accomplished what we could never accomplish. God absorbed the sins of all humanity for all time. As female friends and followers of Jesus go to finish the Jewish burial rite, they are startled and confused by Jesus' tomb being empty and hearing the words reported by the messenger by the grave. What seemed like the end, becomes just the beginning.
Not even death can contain God's ultimate will to have a relationship with those created in God's image forever. May we dare to be bold proclaimers of this good news as we gather around the table, reflect on the cross and grapple with our own mortality.
Jesus Christ has risen today! Bishop Steve

Friday Night Games at Cheeky Bingo.
We have already brought you news of many a fantastic online bingo tournament which is taking place on a Friday night, but over at Cheeky Bingo, they too are offering a game which could rival anything that the likes of Mecca or Wink Bingo could throw our way.
Yes, if Wink Bingo can offer you a £5,000 game then so can Cheeky Bingo. Really, the only question is which purveyor of tongue-in-cheek bingo fun is your favourite because other than that, there are likely to be few deciding factors indeed.
One of the hardest things about being an online bingo fanatic is this: choice. Of course, we are not complaining about a lack of choice in terms, not at all. In fact the issue is quite the opposite, perhaps there is too much choice out there!
Clearly it is a wonderful aspect of the online bingo experience that you gamers can find yourselves torn as to where you should be playing your favourite games from night to night and this article certainly won't help make this any less confusing I'm afraid. See, Friday nights are something of a good night in the online bingo world. Of course, every night is a good night where bingo is concerned but on a Friday, well, things often seem get a little exciting.
Do not fear however because if you just cannot choose between these fine Friday night games then I have good news for you. The Cheeky Bingo game kicks off at eight which means that, assuming it doesn't run over, you'll have time to then pop over to Wink for their big Friday night game at ten.
Tickets for this big game at Cheeky are available in pre-buy so why delay? Head on over today!
