Jean Bernard (1775-1833, Dutch) was certainly a cat lover. A deft artist and draftsman he sketched many cats, most probably his own, using charcoal and colored crayons. The cats featured below were captured in natural positions, so we must infer that Jean Bernard was an avid cat lover. Unfortunately, there is no biographical information available on him, so we know nothing about his life.
Framed art posters and canvas prints are now available at
Want to know more about the cat in art, history and literature? Then this is the book for you. Now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.

Sixth Sunday of Easter
When a parent is very sick or is dying, the children (and close relatives) usually come together around him, and tell him how much they love him. They are sad and seek advices and listen intently to him/her. Many times they try to keep him alive longer, so that they can have more time with him, and share more wonderful experiences with him. The dying person usually just listens. Yet never does a dying person say, "I will come back for you." If ever, the children would probably tell him to just go, and not to come back. Who wants to see a dead man walking, anyway?
Jesus, when He was leaving this earthly life, promised His disciples that He would return for them, and would not leave them orphans. But they still did not understand this; and Jesus promised them the Holy Spirit, another advocate. This was a promise for the disciples not to be sad, a promise that their joy would be complete, and a promise that He would teach them all they needed, and remind them of all that they were taught.
Thus, Jesus, through His disciples, left us the following:
1. A gift – the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Many gifts can be used, kept, displayed or given away. When Jesus gave the gift of the Eucharist, He intended it to be Himself, a way of life, a life of holiness. He said, "Do this in memory of Me." Jesus is the life, the way and the truth. On earth there is no other way, life or truth that will lead us all to the Father.
2. A recommendation – his commandment of love. We might argue that love has the power of liberty, and command has the clout of submission. But Jesus was not speaking of our love in the first place. He was expressing His love for us. "As the Father loves Me, so do I love you. Live in my love" (Jn 15:9). Love can only be expressed in actions befitting the dignity of the person. Many expressions of care and concern are so abused in our society because they are selfish; they seek something in return, they seek to be paid. The love of Jesus is selfless. It only leads to the Father, and makes our joy complete.
3. A promise – the Holy Spirit with his abundance of gifts. The apostles received the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. They received that ardent love for the Word of God, to live the Word and to share the Word. It was the burning love of the Holy Spirit that brought back the 2 disciples from Emmaus to Jerusalem, to be with the others. It was the burning love of the Holy Spirit that gave the Apostles the courage to preach before emperors, Jews, gentiles, and to all nations. It was the burning love of the Holy Spirit that gave them the courage to face martyrdom for the sake of the Kingdom and for the Glory of God.
This is also the same Holy Spirit:
– that leads us to come to church on Sundays and Holy days, rather than to other places that we can actually do some other time;
– that brings faithful couples to reconciliation, rather that stay alienated from one another for a long time;
– that reconciles brothers and sisters, rather than quarrel about just little things in the family;
– that leads us to listen to the teachings of the Church and to abide by them;
– that makes us aware of the plight of the poor and the needy, and that urges us to help them, and to be attentive to the need of the world for peace and to actually work for peace;
– that makes us aware and conscious that life in all stages is sacred and needs to be upheld and respected;
– and many others.
There is a saying, "words are dwarves, examples are giants". Without trials, love is no more than empty sentiment. Without actions love remains a great deception. Without proofs, love is dead. A writer once said: "love doesn't exist, what exist are proofs of love". Certainly, "by their fruits you will know them (Mt 7:20)."
This is how Jesus lived his life, a life of love. He gave us the gift, the recommendation and the promise, so that we also can live His life and remain in His love. Let the Eucharist that we celebrate strengthen us in our journey to the Father, in our relationship with our brothers and sisters, and in our growth in spiritual life. So, without any fear, we have the courage to proclaim: Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.

The release of BobCAD's V31 CNC software has stepped away from the antiquated toolbars, and layered menus of the old Windows applications, instead, opting to go with a more modern, ribbon-style interface.
What Makes the Ribbon Interface Better?
Discoverability- Previous toolbar applications were set up so you had to learn what each icon meant, meaning you probably spent a lot of time digging through what you don't need to find what you do. With the new V31 ribbon-style interface, user's functions are much more organized & each button has both an icon and a label. This makes the functions easier to find and way easier to learn the meaning of the icon.
Organization- In the past, you were limited to a single size and simple row with toolbars before. Commands in the new V31 are logically organized, making them much quicker to find & with logically grouped commands. The benefit? Getting what you need with less clicks.
Scalability- Everything you may need is on the ribbon in one place. As the software grows, users will find it way easier to locate new commands in groups they already have familiarity with.

Apple released the Apple watch on April 24 and is priced $349 to $17,000. The watch is being sold in Apple stores around the nation and is being bought by customers across the country. The Apple Watch sold more on the pre-orders than the Android watch sold in all of 2014 due to the technology that allows people to use the watch to make the use of their phone easier.
Although the watch costs a lot of money, it will sell because people want to keep up with the newest technology. It allows for people to use their watch as an easier method than their phones, even though the phone and watch are necessary for the use of each other.
Another thing that makes the watch a seller is the fact that there are many different kinds of watches that people are able to buy. There is a sports model watch, a regular watch, and a special watch that customers are able to get.
The watch allows for people to check notifications right on their wrists that would normally go to their phone. People are able to use Siri off of the watch and can also use certain apps without an iPhone.
People are able to use Apple Pay, play music, and also tell time all without the use of a phone. This means that the watch will allow for people to use the device on their wrists to do the little things that they would normally do on their phone.
Another reason that the watch will sell is because people are able to change the Apple Watch bands on them.
Since the watches are selling so fast from the pre-orders, the Apple store requires that people have an appointment in order to see a demo on the Apple Watch.
Senior Gavin Callahan said of the watch, "I think they're dumb and that they are going to break." He also said that he thinks they will be a waste of money.
When Blair Brooks was asked what he thought about the new Apple Watch, he said, "I think that the watch will be efficient."
Since the watch costs so much money, customers are expecting the watch to do a lot. It is a concern for the customers that the watch will break and that it will not meet expectations.
Fortunately for Apple, many customers are willing to put the concern aside and take the chance buying the watch.

Oh how I love photographing children! It is such an adventure! I got to photograph some of my favorite clients this month in downtown Lynden, WA – Koltin and Rhysse (and their mom Ashley). We had so much fun dancing in the alleys and finding fun places to shoot. These two are so cute, adventurous and well behaved! I could have photographed them all day long!
All of their session images are online – check them out by clicking on Proofing above. Enjoy!
Doing some alley dancing!
I think Rhysse loves her mama!
Rhysse is the most precious little girl!
Such a handsome little fella!
Apparently "ok, squish your faces together" means different things to different people…love this!

Frank E. Wood (1919-1922) founded the company (also known as Girard Mfg. Co. 1922-1935 and The Toy Works, 1935-1975) in Girard, Pennsylvania. Famous for their spinning tops, skates, banks, trains, trucks and military vehicles.
In the late 1920s, Girard toys made Louis Marx a commission agent and for several years produced toys under the Marx brand label, along with its own line of steel autos, trucks, and trains, which were produced at Girard Motor Works.
Marx and Girard toys are for all intents indistinguishable (a few of the Girard toys bore the slogan "Making Childhood's Hour Happier"). Girard declared bankruptcy in 1934, although toy production continued until 1975. Quaker Oats had bought out Marx's interest in Girard when they bought Marx's American and English toy division 1972.

We just acquired a wind-up railroad hand car tin toy that looks exactly like the ones I'm seeing all over the Internet as Girard's. The only difference is that it does NOT have the Girard logo on the men's pants.
►reply: You mean like this one? Not sure. Marx Toys bought Girard in 1934 so maybe this toy was made in that year or later. Or it was restored at some point and the new paint covered the logo.

Episode 008–The Voodoo Dolly, a Song Based On a Dare
This episode was based on a dare. The dare? Write and record a song using the following criteria.
- Use only 3 chords.
- About Tarzan
- Sex.
Not an easy task without playing the cheese card. And so be it. I actually used the box lid for a kid's board game from the 60's, Mystic Skull, for poetic inspiration. I finished the recording at about 4:00 a.m. and it was one of those "can't get the song out of my head" situations. So after 6 tracks of music, 3 chords, a 6 string acoustic and a 6 string electric, a bass, some sound effects including Tarzan and Jane starring in Sex and the Jungle…I challenged the dare and came in with a general audience rating to boot.

History Erased: Ken Burns, PBS, and World War II
On September 23, 2007, PBS will begin airing a fourteen hour documentary on World War II. The original version of the film, made by PBS houseboy Ken Burns, included not a single word or image about the participation of over 500,000 Latinos in the U.S. military during the war. After an outcry from numerous Latino organizations and individuals, PBS agreed to include interviews with two Latino veterans for a total of about twenty minutes. Reviewers have described the added material as being cursory and disconnected from the rest of the film. Obviously, twenty minutes is not enough but Burns arrogantly refuses to acknowledge his original mistake, the result of bad research and a blindness to the full panorama of the American experience.
For more background, here are three articles I wrote early in the controversy:

The recent California wildfires are expected to be the costliest ever for insurers, according to Aon Benfield's catastrophe reports. Aon Benfield's catastrophe model development team, Impact Forecasting, has launched the latest edition of its monthly Global Catastrophe Report, revealing that the blazes – which included the Central LNU Complex Fire around the town of Santa Rosa – are the most damaging event on record for the state.
The report states that the wildfires killed at least 43 people and injured 185 others, damaging nearly 9,300 structures in the process. The California Department of Insurance said that at least 19,000 residential, commercial and auto claims had been filed, with payouts exceeding $3.32 billion. The counties of Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake Solano, Butte and Yuba were found to have suffered the most damage in the fires.
The report concluded that the total costs for the insurance industry could rise as high as $8 billion, making the event the costliest insured wildfire ever recorded.
The wildfires in Portugal also caused a significant loss for the insurance industry, with a total of €200 million ($232 million) insurance damages representing the costliest major event for the local insurance industry in Portugal, according to the Portuguese Association of Insurers.
Steve Bowen, Impact Forecasting director and meteorologist, said: "In a year already marked by elevated catastrophe losses, October continued in the same vein. Historic wildfire events in Portugal and California are poised to make October the costliest month for the insurance industry ever recorded for the peril. The multi-billion-dollar payout in California alone highlights the enormity of the event footprint as assessments and restoration efforts continue across the state."

Churches and Chapels on the Air 2016
Planning for a Special Event station at St Mary's Church, Buckden had started back in April this year when we said we would support the Church at Buckden in setting up our station for the "Churches and Chapels on the Air" event.
It was decided to erect the G5RV Antenna in the grounds of St Mary's Church on the Friday before the event so as not to interfere with other activities and events that the church had planned for on the Saturday.
The erection team of Steve (G1KWF), Brian (G8CHC) and Mervyn (G4KLE) arrived at 10:30 on Friday. From a previous recce we had identified two suitable trees that would be used to hold up the ends of the G5RV. After a couple of attempts to throw the lead cord over high branches, we succeeded in hoisting up the antenna. We confirmed with the Church Wardens our area within the Living Stones Room, which had good access to the outside via the fire door. Weather on the Friday was dry and very warm.
On Saturday morning we arrived at the church to very different weather conditions, it had been raining all night and it was still raining quite heavily (good decision to erect antenna on Friday). Unfortunately the rain had worked on the ropes holding up the G5RV and with shrinkage; one end of the antenna was now laying on the ground. A quick repair and we were in business again, but with a slightly lower to the ground antenna. The Icom 7200 was installed, earth fitted so up and running by 09:20 (local). Our first contact was at 09:30 with Steve on the Mic talking to GB1SKC, St Keverne, Cornwall – the operator at the other end was Ivan, a former Chairman of the Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio Society, a great start.
We had a very lively period where we had QSO's with a number of Churches and Chapels including Gloucester Cathedral, who had erected their Long Wire from the top of the Cathedral – approx 200 feet high.
We also had a visit by Bishop David (Bishop of Huntingdon) who showed a great interest in our activities and asked many questions, we also managed to let him take over the Mic, unfortunately we had no QSO's at the time. During the day there were a number of Ladies and Gentlemen from the church visiting for Tea and Cakes who came over and were very interested and asked questions about Amateur Radio.
We had a total of 29 QSO's throughout the day, 12 being with other Churches and Chapels. One contact was with OT4ERW/P a small chapel in Belgium. We also managed to cover the UK from Bottom to Top, our first contact (as mentioned) was with GB1SKC near the Lizard (Cornwall) and then to GB0SBC – the most northerly church on mainland Scotland – Land's End to John O Groats
Members on Saturday were – Steve (G1KWF), Brian (G8CHC), Richard (M6TXR), Clive (G3NKQ) and Mervyn (G4KLE), who all took turns in Operating and Logging. We also had a visit by Stev (G1MVF) from Leicester.
We would like to thank the Revd Jes Salt and all members of St Mary's Church, Buckden for making us very welcome, and could we do it again next year.

Shanghai Repertory Theatre continues its theatrical year with Shakespeare's comedy of mistaken identity Twelfth Night. An entirely entertaining show that is sure to coax out a few laughs with some stand out performances from a talented cast, the show has been shifted from its Shakespearean era to the eve of World War II. This is reflected in the songs and the costumes but otherwise remains largely unreferenced. The plot unfolds with continued hilarity and the cast are perfectly suited to their roles. Count on SRT regular Laurie Padgett Fralick to steal the show even as one of the support characters. They've added a bit of musicality to the classic Shakespearean drama via her vocals, creating some of the most memorable highlights of the night. Tickets do however cost 200 kuai, with pre-sale tickets costing 180. If you have the money to spend then this play is definitely worth going to see and will make for an entertaining evening. This said, considering that the Jue Festival is now in full swing, there is plenty to see at a much better price. The play lasts for 2 and a half hours and starts at 8 o'clock. But be sure to get there early, because lord knows nothing breaks down the "fourth wall" more than a stooping, beer-toting man running across the stage.
Performed in English with Chinese subtitles. Tickets are 180RMB presale; 200RMB at the door (with further discounts for large groups.) Contact [email protected] for more information.
Tues – Sat 8pm, Sun 3pm; Mar. 24-Apr. 3 (no show on March 28)Ke Center for Performing Arts. 613-B Kaixuan Lu, near Yan'an Xi Lu (凯旋路613号,近.延安西路)

How to Run a Successful Talent Community, Part 3
We've made it to our third and final blog on running a successful talent community.
How to Run a Successful Talent Community, Part 2
In Part 1 of our series on talent communities, we looked at the necessity and advantage of talent communities, and the resources needed to develop and execute them successfully.
What Does a Successful RPO Program Deliver?
If you're considering using a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) partner, or are assessing the effectiveness of your current RPO partner, it's important to define what a successful RPO program looks like for your organization.
How to Run a Successful Talent Community, Part 1
Talent acquisition leaders agree that talent communities are key to recruiting success and thus corporate growth. So why do so few businesses run them effectively?
Cutting Costs and Exceeding Expectations Through RPO
What is your organization's biggest annual expenditure? If your company is like most others, your largest cost is talent.
RPO Basics: Selecting an RPO Partner
Choosing a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) partner is a subjective process, because it's dependent upon your company's specific needs.
The Benefits of Using RPO
Recruitment processing outsourcing (RPO) is transferring the responsibility for part or all of the candidate recruitment process to a third-party expert.
5 Problems to Solve Before You Outsource Your Recruiting
I've worked in the Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) industry for almost 20 years, so it may seem strange that I'm sharing a list of reasons not to partner with an RPO provider.
Success from the Start: 5 Tips for a Successful RPO Relationship
A Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) relationship that is properly managed and nurtured can deliver a strategic element to the recruiting process.
It Starts With You: How RPO by Design Offers a Unique Approach
You may have recently seen that IBM Kenexa Recruitment Services, now IBM Talent Acquisition Optimization, has been named a 2016 top Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) provider by several analyst firms.
A Leader in the Industry: Everest Group PEAK Matrix™ Report
You may have seen that Everest Group recently released its PEAK Matrix report for 2016, assessing RPO service providers based on market success and overall delivery capability.
Beyond Common Metrics: Why RPO by Design Offers a New Way of Thinking
Like most people in talent acquisition, I understand how important measuring the success of your recruitment program is.

Kelly Sutton has written a post called Deletability and I've been thinking about it all day and how his ideas relate to writing CSS:
By working with code, we see that modularity and deletability are closely related. Properly modularized code is easy to delete.
Writing deletable code is writing good code.
Apparently, this is a common approach to writing software although I've never heard of this concept when taken to the front-end side of things. But! I think it should be a goal for us to have in mind when we're naming classes or building complex layouts. And after mulling over this idea all day I think that questions like "can I throw this code away easily?" should be a measuring stick for whether we're doing a good job at writing CSS.
For example, a while back I was working on a project where the style of one checkbox element impacted the styling of another, completely unrelated checkbox. The code for each was splintered across multiple files and directories so designers on the team would constantly push back and forth, undoing each other's work in a mad attempt to solve their own problem without thinking about the much larger problems of inheritance and CSS design. They'd notice an issue in their own part of the app, change the CSS and move on with their lives. And I'm not trying to be a jerk here – some applications have tens of thousands of lines of CSS and apps can be devilishly complex so it's no wonder that they didn't see this problem coming up.
But if the original design of those checkboxes had been built with the concept of deletability in mind I think we'd have avoided this problem altogether. The
line-height and
font-size, color and background-color properties would've been isolated in the correct files. And so looking at one file we'd be able to see all of the code for this one specific element. In other words, the system would have made itself clear to us in an instant.
If in the future, we can begin to ditch large portions of our codebase without impacting unrelated components, then we deserve to raise a glass to ourselves for being so gosh darn smart this whole time.

Where's the Beets
Where's the Beets (post #71511)
Just received the Oct/Nov issue. The opening by Jeanne Kelley about her experience with the "shiney, dark purple slices" that "tasted tender, moist, and full of sweet, earthy flavor" sure got my mouth watering. But I was most disappointed that there were no recipes to back it up. The first was using beet greens. The secons was golden beets with greens; then the nice cake. The last with sauteed beets and beet greens left me frustrated as it stated that "you'll need more greens than the fout beets". Where is the recipe for the "shiney dark purple slices"? I am beinning to think Cuisine At Home might be the better choice. At least I haven't been tantelized and than let down.
beets (post #71511, reply #1 of 2)
A couple of us on CT have enjoyed this one from a previous issue:
I'm actually happy about the recipes including greens-- the person I share my CSA with loves beets, but won't eat the greens. That soup looks great-- but then I am a sucker for anything with a poached egg!
found 'em (post #71511, reply #2 of 2)
Hey, it looks like the "shiny dark purple slices" were in the online extra!
Made any beet recipes?

The biggest downside of spending so much time doing this blog is I often neglect bands whom with more hours in the day I'd absolutely love, The Jezabels are definitely one such example. I've followed for band for about five years now and have seen them three times but I've probably only listened to last years LP The Brink a handful of times. It deserves more. Perhaps I'll give it that now the band are back on my mind thanks to the dramatic introduction to their third album Synthia, due for release on February 12th and available with a combination of ticket/physical packages here.
"Come Alive" is the track, dark, jagged and brooding it finds the Australian quartet at their most intense, with murky synths and Hayley's ever incredible, theatrical vocal climaxing with the gargantuan squeal of guitars and forthright drums. Synthia promises to be the bands most adventurous and rewarding yet.
The Jezabels play London's Tufnell Park Dome on March 10th. If you fancy tickets, I wouldn't hang around too long.

I'm here to meet girls 18 to 37 years old for dating, friendship, serious relationship and networking.
I consider myself an adventurous person. I love hiking and enjoying the great outdoors.
When I'm not working you can find me walking the lakes, catching a movie after a workout, or enjoying different sports. Basketball and tennis being my favorites!
I come from a family of five siblings, me being the youngest. We all get along great but unfortunately dont see each other often enough since 3 of them live in different states. Just seeing whats out there. Shoot me a line about yourself!
If you are sweet, beautiful, and adventerous we will get along great. I'm looking for someone who is caring and thoughtful yet can keep me on my toes with some sarcasm and interesting banter. If this sounds like you go ahead and say hello!
Thanks for stopping by my profile!

Dena Harris...Corporate Tyrant/
I don't see myself ever returning to corporate life. I enjoy setting my own schedule, being able to meet friends for a 2 pm coffee and finish my work at night, and never knowing what new projects are coming down the pipeline.
The main reason I can't return to corporate life however, is meetings. I am ill-equipped emotionally and mentally to deal with meetings. And I proved this fact in high form the other week.
I was sitting in a meeting for one of the non-profits of which I am a board member. There was a question on the table of how we should log the name of guests to our group. One option was to have guests fill out a 3x5 card with their contact info and we would collect. The other option was to buy a guestbook and have guests enter their names there. Pretty simple choice, huh?
TEN MINUTES. That's how much discussion time was devoted to this topic. Ten precious minutes out of an hour-long meeting. We had to discuss who would buy the notecards, where would we keep the notecards or the book, aren't cards hard to keep track of?, what if (God forbid) a guest put down their name and phone number but no address? Should we have someone stand nearby to make sure we got complete information? And on and on and on...
I lost it. I truly did. In an overly-loud and highly annoyed voice, I half-yelled, "PICK SOMETHING. This is not brain surgery and I can't believe we're wasting time on this. Just pick something, decide to do it, and DO IT!"
Yeah... that Dale Carnegie training on how to win friends and influence people is really paying off.
People jumped a bit in their chairs at my outburst and I could tell I'd made them uncomfortable. Not that I cared at that point... I just wanted to move on. And they did make a decision and move on, but not because I think they were done with their discussion. I think they were trying to appease me and even a little fearful I might bark at them again.
And here's the scary part... I liked it. I was so past my patience threshold that I didn't care that I was getting things done through force versus group buy-in. I just wanted the s--- done. I told Blair later that night that I could see me becoming one of those supervisors that rules by fear and intimidation. I have--to steal a phrase from a friend--a low tolerance for stupid. And I can't stand wasting time on what I deem to be non-critical items.
But I don't WANT to be that person. I don't respect people who rule by fear. I respect people who make others feel valued and heard.
"What would you have done?" I asked Blair, the Great Communicator.
"Well," he said, "I would have said something like, 'This is all good discussion and everyone has raised some excellent points. But we've got other items on the agenda we need to move on to. So let's go around the table and right now, cast your vote for cards or book.' Then I would have moved on. "
"Oh," I said. "Huh. That never occurred to me to handle it like that."
"I know, sweetie," said Blair sighing and patting my hand. "I know..."
Leadership is hard. I think it's best for all involved if I just stay behind my computer...

Ani DiFranco on Mountain Stage
Headlining Mountain Stage Live this Sunday is musical powerhouse Ani DiFranco. The singer, guitarist, poet, and songwriter will be performing on September 29 at The Clay Center in Charleston, WV.
One of the most influential musical forces of the 90's Ani DiFranco wrote and sang songs about controversial issues like rape, abortion and sexism. She has grown up playing music, penning her first song when she was only 14 and starting her own record label when she was 18 years old. She has 21 albums to her name, and established the Righteous Babe Foundation in support of grassroots cultural and political organizations.
Joining her are folk-rock band Dawes, Dave Mason from the band Traffic, and Red Baraat, an eight-piece band that combines the hard-driving North Indian bhangra rhythms with elements of jazz, go-go, brass funk, and hip-hop.
Tickets for the show are available for sale online through the Clay Center's website, or by calling (304) 561-3570. Tickets bought in advanced costs $30, while tickets bought on the day of the show costs $35. Doors open at 6:30 pm, performance starts at 7:00.

Reviewing the highest on-line betting websites earlier than making a deposit helps potential clients be taught as a lot as attainable concerning the corporations they might find yourself selecting to belief with their cash and concerning the authorized regimes in every nation, state and province.
Studying sports activities betting website evaluations helps be sure that sportsbooks play by the principles, bettors could also be compelled to contact administration officers to stipulate the issues and apply strain to have the state of affairs pretty mediated.
No person desires to have a nasty expertise with any firm they do enterprise with, and on-line playing websites aren't any completely different. That's why bettors have to do their homework upfront and discover out as a lot about them as attainable to search out the very best betting websites. What deposit choices can be found on the sportsbook? Have they got bonuses for an preliminary deposit and/or to re-deposit funds into an account? How troublesome is it to withdraw cash out of your account? What number of completely different betting choices are provided on the sports activities playing website? These are all vital questions that have to be answered by the bettor earlier than deciding to make a deposit.
Not like Las Vegas, the place you may bodily go to a sportsbook at a on line casino resort, on-line playing websites and sportsbooks are basically digital casinos that settle for actual cash to wager on actual sporting occasions. We'll be overlaying extra about w88 on this article. Nonetheless, this doesn't imply a web-based sportsbook's handle is simply positioned on the web. Any respected on-line e-book could have a bodily handle positioned on its web site together with a toll-free phone quantity you should use to name them and ask questions if wanted. Some will even have an FAQ you may evaluate that will help you really feel extra snug about betting there.
One other vital supply you should use to analysis on-line betting web sites is social media. Following and/or "Liking" the sports activities betting website permits bettors to see how the corporate communicates and interacts with potential and present clients, giving them one other degree of belief and the required data wanted to make the proper resolution when the time comes to decide on one. If a e-book could be very responsive on social media, you may see that they actually care about their clients and need to resolve points in a well timed and environment friendly method.
Not all on-line sportsbooks are good at each aspect of sports activities betting, on line casino wagering, poker play and horse racing. However some are more adept and well-rounded than others, though you could not want your excellent betting website to be all that. As a substitute, your priorities might embody ensuring they pay winners rapidly, supply bonus specials and supply stats, articles and tutorials for newbie gamers. No matter you're in search of in a web-based playing website, don't accept something lower than one which caters precisely to your wants and gives you with all of the options you require as a bettor. Learn on-line sportsbook evaluations, discuss with different bettors and make the most of a promotion to see should you prefer it. There's nothing mistaken with making a small deposit first to search out out if a sportsbook is best for you.

A major offering in Sky's Boxing Day line-up had the somewhat unlikely title Agatha Raisin: The Quiche of Death.
Described by my TV magazine as a crime drama and by the EPG synopsis as a whodunnit, this adventure certainly entertained but it might have been more accurate to have described it as a comedy drama. It did make Midsomer Murders look a bit on the gritty side. There are no prizes for guessing the murder weapon and to be honest the revelation of the perpetrator did not come as a huge surprise.
But none of that detracts from the fact that this delightfully amusing gem, set in a picturesque village, filled a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours. There were several points at which I laughed out loud, most memorably at a small child's response to the question "Are you mummy's little helper?".
But with audiences of only 327,000 according to Digital Spy, it seems a shame that in its Sky 1 home more people did not get to see it.
In recent years Sky has invested in original programming with some success:
- Comedy Trollied, after a shaky start, has returned with a further 3 entertaining series.
- Action drama Strike Back had a great first couple of series, although personally I lost interest in later episodes.
- Thriller The Tunnel was a pretty decent remake of Danish/Swedish export The Bridge until they rewrote the final episode (to make it different from the original), delivering a far weaker conclusion to the series than its predecessor.
Typically, the shows Sky either produces or buys in remain exclusive to Sky. It seems unlikely that their original content, good as some of it is, will prove a sufficient draw to significantly add to their number of subscribers. Perhaps they will get a few extra Now TV customers, if they continue to produce enough good material, but it is hard to imagine huge numbers flocking to pay money for series they are unfamiliar with.
Sky may do well, after a discrete interval, to sell a programme as enjoyable as Agatha Raisin: The Quiche of Death to a major terrestrial channel where it may get a well-deserved wider audience.
If they match the quality of this instalment, I certainly have my fingers firmly crossed that Sky will produce further Agatha Raisin episodes.

Hey guys! It's been a while! Well I haven't had much time for drawing because I just recently started a full time job! I'm working in customer service (figures, since a lot of you know I'm not a phone person) but I don't mind the job. I like the place, I like everyone and I think they like me too :) I'm a temp right now but they have asked me if I was interested in a permanent position... so of course I said yes! I'm really grateful for getting something full-time, plus I still have a car I'm paying off :P Also I'm almost done school, only a couple of weeks left!! So right now updates will be random, but hopefully will get back on schedule when classes end.

How To: Cruelty-Free, Vegan Friendly Method to Whiten Sensitive Teeth At Home
The season of graduation, weddings, and summer parties is upon us! Normally we prioritize our skin care and makeup to make sure we look our best, but do you pay attention to your smile? Taking care of your teeth is just as important as taking care of your skin! If you're like me and you drink coffee and tea everyday then you know your teeth have some degree of staining. I've been drinking black tea since I was twelve and started coffee four years ago. At my last dental check up, my dentist happily pointed out all the dark stains on my teeth magnified 4x on a gigantic screen. Yikes! I use Crest 3D White toothpaste on a daily basis and thought that would be good enough to combat the stains, but I guess I was wrong. The awesome people from Smile Brilliant couldn't have contacted me at a better time. They offered to let me try out their at-home whitening kit for this review and an extra kit for one of you as well!
What It Is
Smile Brilliant offers cruelty-free, vegan friendly at-home teeth whitening kits with custom trays to fit every nook and cranny of your teeth. Each kit comes with a set of dental trays and impression material, whitening gel, and desensitizing gel if you have sensitive teeth. Kit prices start at $139.
Ingredient Analysis
Glycerin, Carbamide Peroxide, Carbopol, EDTA, Menthol
Glycerin, Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Fluoride & Sodium Monofluorophosphate, Deionized Water, Carbopol (carboxypolymethylene), Menthol, Sodium Saccharine
No harmful ingredients found.
How To Use
When you first get your kit, you need to create your dental impressions before you can start whitening. This is where I totally failed and couldn't get my impressions right. Luckily, Smile Brilliant was super nice and quick to send me more impression material to try again. I left it in longer than the suggested time and that did the trick! Take those impressions, stick them in the prepaid envelope, and mail them out.
I got my custom trays back about a week later and the whitening process was easy as pie. Just pipe in the whitening gel, pop them on, and go about your day! Since I have sensitive teeth, I started with 30-minute sessions, and then gradually built up to 1-hour sessions. I always followed up with the desensitizing gel and I never had any issues.
During the initial whitening process, I kept looking at my teeth and thought they weren't really getting white like what I expected. I did a little research and found out this kit works to lift the stains to reveal the true color of your enamel, instead of just bleaching them white. It took about 2.5-3 weeks to see a difference since my sessions were shorter. Check out my before and after picture! I was surprised myself when I saw it.
The Smile Brilliant kit is awesome! I love how easy and customizable it is, and how much value you get out of it. Once you have the kit, you can use it as often or as little as needed. Do you just want a spot treatment? Or maybe weekly maintenance treatments? It's up to you! I've got some weddings and graduations to attend really soon so I'm glad my pearly whites are ready for the cameras.
Now, time for the giveaway! *Enter here to win your own whitening kit! If you don't end up winning the kit, you can still get 15% off with this code: blushedlife15
Good luck!
*Rules: This giveaway is open for exactly 1 week from today and open to USA, UK, Australia and Canadian residents.

Shining Tribe Tarot
This revised and updated version of the Shining Woman Tarot is more balanced approach to tarot than the original's feminist leanings. The artwork in the Shining Tribe Tarot is stylised and primitive in the tribal, cave-art sense and the suits are Rivers, Trees, Birds and Stones. The backs of the cards are dark red with an attractive yellow reversible design in the centre.
Shining Tribe Tarot review by Bonnie Cehovet
"The Shining Tribe Tarot" grew out of a previous deck done by Rachel Pollack called "The Shining Woman Tarot". Part of the reason for the revision was that "The Shining Woman Tarot" was perceived by some as a feminist deck, which in itself is not a negative thing, but it was not the author's i... read more reviews.

Russian disinformation and the 'lab of death' – BBC News
Russian disinformation and the 'lab of death' – BBC News American skip Kimberly Decepticon Center, the source of the allegations against America open the full head of Georgia. State security evolve, yoga Now kill, Gus's website says this is proof, but experiments on humans did take place. Yet the Georgian citizens were administered US Trucks which approves results. December 2015, is there any truth to this? Mr. Gill Godsey claims that these documents indicate that with us, drugs experiments will be conducted on humans. Is that right course it was not. The whole world knew this program supposed to eliminate hepatitis C in Georgia. It strange that mr. beer garden show this to people claiming that it is kind of experiments, because the whole world is treating with this kind of price, but the claim is that's. In December 2015 30 Georgians died who are receiving medicine and apparently 27 on one day. Nothing one day, it's kind of statistical information. This is amount of people dead or head adverse event in one month. The reason people was dying on this project was because at first we tried cured the high liver damage, people, that's in 36,000. People were cured, and maybe 200 of them word 10th and head adverse event. Is there any element of Truth in what mr. gutsy says about this? No, no, definitely not it's a lot. Of course. Augusto Central National Center for Disease Control switch deals in public health protection. Complex is the research center? That'S what Russian State media have dubbed the laboratory of death that we've been given access s***, so we can see for ourselves. We have no patience. We are not making here enjoy clinical trials of this track, because this drug is already known. Drug this is public health and high-level research institution, nothing to do with biological weapon. Another clay Moscow is that there is some link between your laboratory and these us patents for drones. To spread special infected mosquitoes to attack an enemy. Can they show us the evidence? The digiorgi somewhere here dimension. What was the Bastille? Where is the American Soldier? The screams coming out of Russia are complete nonsense and they are disinformation and misinformation about subjects such as the lupus Center in order to divert attention from their own bad behavior and create smokescreen for what they are doing. I think about this information. Fake news. Is it a little bit sounds closable until you stop thinking about what you'll be Ambush story? As Moscow has been telling, it is factually incorrect, I could see that one of experiments on humans, what they was the national program like to see in Georgia, using standard approved drugs and two floors of that building. We were, it has not been given, come and take a look around. They say they have nothing to hide. What movies are on eBay, Caesar factually incorrect Mystic? Your gut says that experiments were conducted on humans. But if you look at the evidence the circled evidence he has provided, there is no proof of any experiments. What'S Citrus near the casa test website says that this document proves that drugs which have not been clinically approved, will give them to Georgian citizens. It says that's on your website, but these drugs Turtle Beach telling us 8801 situation, patients cuz, I sure you will. it's not simply in the word. This information seem to feel under no obligation that tool to backup their allegations their stories with hard evidence. It'S like they sent it it's out there. Well, that doesn't mean it's not true is, if that creating a whole, it's going to reality to spread confusion and the results is it. The line between fact fiction is increasingly blood. A BBC investigation has found that Russian media and officials presented false claims about a US-funded laboratory in neighbouring Georgia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry, Defence Ministry and pro-Kremlin media claimed recently that untested drugs were given to Georgian citizens at the lab, resulting in a large number of deaths.
The US has accused Russia of disinformation in order to distract attention away from incidents such as the Salisbury poisonings.

Yep, we have started packing and heading back to Addis Ababa 6 am Monday morning. Any of you who want to hold an all-night prayer vigil for our trek on your Sunday night, you are welcome to! ;)
This summer, we were sent to our "final" location because in trainings we have learned that where you land initially, is where you bond. We have bonded, this place is already knit tightly in our hearts and it feels like home. Jon and I credit this entirely to your prayers, that this new place in a new land feels like we belong here.
I guess it's not hard to love a land like this.
And a people, rich in tradition, living tenaciously, who have been warmly received us.
Living in Addis in some ways is very welcome. We really need to learn Amharic and will soon be starting language school. In addition, we will have access to fellowship, and more food items and restaurants (Gasp! Cherie even told me there is a good ice cream place!)
We are trying to fit in a flurry of things at the end. We hosted four meals for friends and were invited to four places (all within our last five days). One of our main goals and prayers for this summer were relationships, and because of the faithful service of Mark, Debbie and Cheryl (our faithful teammates who have endured much hardship here) we came into people open to start friendships.
We have friends.
It has been an incredible summer. Even healthwise, besides the standard stomach issues (nothing serious) we felt great.
Now off to the next house, the next short chapter (5 months) in our transitional year, Addis Ababa, here we come!

Start your day with a late breakfast at Hot Brew, one of Fortuna's classic breakfast spots. Great food, cooked to order, lots of good coffee!
Visit Philly Cheese Steak Shoppe in Strongs Creek Plaza to pick up your lunch to go. They open at 11AM with excellent sandwiches at great prices. You'll have plenty of time later to enjoy your lunch in a gorgeous location!
Take US101-South bound from Kenmar Road Take exit 685 for Highway 36 east. The Drive to grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is 16.8 miles along Highway 36. 12.8 miles after turning onto highway 36 you'll see a sign on the left for Owen R. Cheatham Grove. There is free parking in the lot and here you can take a short hike through one of the world's finest redwood groves. The huge trees grow straight up from the flat floor of the grove, which is covered with layers of ferns and redwood sorrel. Parts of the Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi were filmed in this grove. Take your time with hiking the trail which totals less than a mile. After leaving the grove, continue east on Highway 36 for another four miles to Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park. This is a popular State Park which was slated to be closed by the State of CA because of budget concerns until the County of Humboldt took over management in 2012.You'll find a visitor center and ranger station here along with swimming in the Van Duzen River if you're visiting in the summertime. Here you can thoroughly enjoy short scenic hikes along the Memorial, Nature, Hiker's and Fisher-Wouk trails. Pick a spot along the trial or a picnic table at the day use area to enjoy your lunch from Philly Cheese Steak Shoppe! Returning along Highway 36 headed west you can enjoy another terrific stand of redwood forest at Pamplin Grove, part of Van Duzen County Park. Look for the sign on your left as you drive west. This is a grove that has been developed for group campsites, but it is beautiful and well worth a visit. Van Duzen County Park has a nature trial that connects Pamplin Grove with other parts of the Park.
Returning to Fortuna, you'll have driven less than forty miles round trip and enjoyed a memorable day of hiking in the redwoods. Cap the day off with a visit to Double D Steakhouse at 320 Main Street in Fortuna for a terrific dinner. Great steaks, pasta, seafood and more with a full bar! An excellent way to wrap up your day of exploration and discovery in Fortuna, California.

The current sword hanging over the Obamacare health insurance markets is the future of one of the subsidies in the system. It's called cost-sharing reduction and it cushions lower-income people from out-of-pocket costs when they see a doctor.

President Donald Trump exaggerates when he describes a reduction in the top marginal rate for pass-through business income as a boost to small businesses and truckers.
- The president claimed that "more than 30 million" small-business owners would get "a 40 percent cut in their marginal tax rate." But only 670,000 taxpayers who report business income would earn enough to get that rate reduction.
- Trump said "many American truckers who file taxes as sole-proprietors, S corporations or partnerships" will pay a "substantially lower" top tax rate. Truck drivers, or any other business owner, would have to earn more than $91,900 in taxable income to get a lower top tax rate, and more than $418,400 to see the kind of benefit Trump described.
