I have been dying to try out a cupcake recipe I found while perusing Pinterest and finally decided this weekend was the time to do it. I love anything cupcake or cake related, so when I saw the pin titled as "skinny cupcakes" it was a no-brainer that it should be in my recipe box. After reading through the directions for the cake and frosting, I knew there was no way I could screw it up – this recipe got two-thumbs up for me before I even tasted them!
Now, let me tell you something. I feel like these "skinny cupcakes" are considered skinny for calorie counters, not so much for the people who count carbs and sugar [like me] – but nonetheless, they were a fabulous little treat! One I definitely shared with my coworkers so I didn't eat all 2 dozen!
Recipe, from Six Sisters' Stuff
What you need for the cake:
1 box cake mix [I used Pillsbury Funfetti]
1 12 oz can of soda [I used a diet Sierra Mist]
What you need for the frosting:
1 8 oz tub of Cool Whip [I used light, as it had less sugar then the regular]
1/2 3.4 oz box of vanilla instant pudding [I would be interested in trying it with sugar free, to get a bit healthier – I'll let you know how it tastes!]
Combine cake's powder mix with can of soda.
Mix until smooth.
Scoop about 1/4 cup into lined cupcake pan
Lick bowl clean [no eggs so I could lick 'til my hearts desire]. Ok, this step is optional
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes [I started with 20 minutes]. Take out and let cool.
While cooling, prepare frosting by combining Cool Whip with 1/2 box of vanilla pudding, stir until smooth [taste for any graininess from the pudding not being mixed well enough].
Frost and ENJOY!
One thing I should note, that you may have noticed, is that these cupcakes don't rise like cupcakes that are made traditionally with the eggs and oil. But I should also note, THEY'RE DELICIOUS! These cupcakes are super fluffy and uber moist! I also really loved the frosting – it's definitely not as sweet as the canned frosting and it, too, is nice and fluffy! I'm also happy to report that I still have a dozen cupcakes left, and about half of the dozen that's gone are due to sharing with my coworkers. I do have to keep reminding myself that just because they're called 'skinny cupcakes' doesn't mean they're actually healthy for me. But they are just the perfect treat to curb off that sweet craving.
Have you ever tried baking anything with soda or other subsitutes? What are your favorite "skinny" recipes? How about your nutritional plan – are you a calorie counter or do you count carbs, sugar, fat, etc?

A few years ago the Los Angeles County Health Department, in conjunction with a separate initiative taken by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, issued a series of videos warning of the stealth capacities of salt, which can lurk in seemingly innocuous foods and do harm. One of the "Salt Shocker" videos, as they were called, examined the problem using cottage cheese, a mere half-cup of which contains 450 milligrams of sodium. What if you ate a cup of cottage cheese for breakfast? You would be consuming about 40 percent of your prescribed allotment of sodium for the day — most dietary guidelines recommend no more than 2,300 milligrams — forcing you to conduct a rigorous cost-benefit analysis of the ham sandwich you brought for lunch.
Only in Los Angeles would a food eaten mostly in modeling school fall within the boundaries of a nutritional peril.
To what extent, though, should civic enmity be directed toward sodium? The question has been bubbling through New York's legal system in the past few weeks, after the city Board of Health's unanimous approval last fall of a measure requiring many chain restaurants to put a warning label next to menu items heavy in sodium, or face fines for failure to comply. In late February, a State Supreme Court judge upheld the move after efforts by the National Restaurant Association to strike it down. Not long after, an appellate court reversed course, ordering a provisional halt to the city's enforcement.
Mayor Bill de Blasio's New York hardly feels like a boarding school run by a stern and rules-bound headmistress, a criticism that plagued his predecessor, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, even when it wasn't warranted. At no point has the current mayor's comparatively laissez-faire approach been more evident than in recent days, with the city's announcement that the police would no longer arrest most people for littering, drinking or urinating in public in Manhattan. And yet what would appear to be an entirely uncontroversial public-health initiative — informing some diners, eating in chain restaurants with more than 15 outlets, of an item's sodium content — is met with cries of unfairness, and resistance.
Excessive sodium consumption remains rampant. In January, the C.D.C. issued a report that found that 90 percent of the children in this country, and 89 percent of the adults over the age of 19, consumed quantities of salt beyond the recommended limits. Exactly what level of danger does this pose? The C.D.C. regards the link between salt and hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, to be largely beyond dispute. While a recent meta-analysis published in The International Journal of Epidemiology argued that the benefits of reducing salt intake might be less clear than we have been led to believe, a majority of the 269 reports examined, conducted over 36 years, supported the hypothesis that shrinking salt consumption rendered benefits across all populations.
Some will surely use the study to conclude that the "war on salt," as Scientific American called the political protest around it several years ago, is unjustified. But the city's measure to place symbolic saltshakers next to individual menu items with at least 2,300 milligrams of sodium — again, the full, recommended daily allotment — is far from a call to arms. Beyond that there is an inequality argument to be made in the name of such labeling.
"We have, in New York, one in four adults with high blood pressure," Dr. Mary T. Bassett, the city's health commissioner, said. "But we do see racial variation; one in three black adults has high blood pressure." Two years ago a study of sodium intake among New York City adults found that daily intake was approximately 400 milligrams higher among blacks than among whites, with both groups exceeding the recommended daily limits.
Years from now, in whatever TV series emerges to mock early-21st-century cultural habits, we will almost certainly be invited to laugh ironically at people eating cheeseburgers and fries and drinking salted caramel milkshakes (some containing close to 3,600 milligrams of sodium), just as we were expected to sardonically process Don Draper's chain smoking in "Mad Men." Of course healthy fast food has emerged as its own subcategory; there are now 16 branches in Manhattan of Fresh & Co., a purveyor of quinoa bowls and virtue. Juice Press, where the kale is drinkable and the oatmeal is raw, has more than 20 locations in New York City, the Hamptons and Greenwich, Conn.
(In Marcus Antebi, the chairman of Juice Press, the pure food movement aptly enough has its own Donald Trump: "We have the widest selection, the best locations, the best stores, the best of everything," he writes on the company's website, adding, "I am not formally trained in any science.")
Despite the progress that has been made in bringing greenmarkets to poor neighborhoods, and in otherwise trying to tackle the problem of food deserts, the healthy fast-food movement has not exploded in Brownsville, Brooklyn. How could it? A small cup of soup, a serving of raw falafel on a bed of kale and three raw chocolates, a lunch I consumed at a Juice Press the other day as a wellness experiment, cost $24.50. Even the hedge fund mothers complain.

This stone is quite tricky to find, in fact the landowner showed me where it was. It is actually right where the map says it is, but as you can see it is actually buried in the field.
The bullaun is not actually complete but on the edge of the stone and it is very difficult to say whether it has broken due to its position. The stone is refered to locally as The Bell Stone.
The farmer told me of a nearby Holy Well which is not marked on the map but would be around grid ref S 972 151. Sadly it is very overgrown but the local community do have plans to tidy it up. He told me tales of using the water to make tea with many years ago and commented on the purity of th water.
I was also told the folklore of how it came to be a Holy Well. Apparently, some travelling monks and a saint (or some travellers) passed one day and washed their clothes in the stream and so blessed it.
Click Thumbnail to View Full Size Image
I came past here to se if the holy well had been cleared, but it hasn't. I had a chat with the land owner who told me a few more stories about the area. He also said he knew of no second bullaun stone close to the holy well site.
This stone apparently got its name because the bullaun was created when the bell fell out of St. Mannon's church over the road and landed on it.
The holy well used to be in the same field as this stone, but the locals did something to offend it and it moved away to where it rises now.

This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

It is with great pleasure I can announce that registration is now open for Blognix 2014! If you have been waiting to book your place head straight over to the eventbrite page now. For everyone else, I want to tell you a little bit more about Blognix.
Blognix is a place FOR bloggers BY bloggers. It was borne out of the desire to create an event that was INCLUSIVE, where no blogger should feel left out, unwelcome or unable to come along on the basis of their niche, skill level, experience, or personal circumstances. Blognix was created out of the need to hold a conference OUTSIDE OF LONDON, because not all bloggers live there and for the rest of the UK it can be pretty far to trek to (not to mention costly hotel fees, transport etc.). Blognix was founded because I believe that if you want something done then you should just GET ON AND DO IT. Blognix was established because bloggers don't need another Blogging 101 or Beginners conference/workshop, they need a space where they can learn ACTIONABLE SKILLS that are going to take their blog to the next level. Blognix was formed as a conference, workshop and social gathering that is WARM, INSPIRING and WELCOMING.
The pilot event in 2013 was a great success, the feedback from attendees was consistently positive. And we are going to do the same, and more, this year.
Blognix 2014 will give delegates the chance to LEARN. We learn best from our peers. Delegates will be learning all the tools they need to make their blogs the best they can be. Sessions will include creative skills such as photography, podcasting, video and web design. There will be practical skills such as learning about finances, law, ethics and monetisation. And there will be sessions from inspirational folk about the future of blogging, entrepreneurship and diversifying your brand (check out the confirmed speakers).
Blognix prides itself on being approachable. We seek to create a warm and easy-going atmosphere where bloggers can CONNECT. We've all been to events on our own that are utterly nerve-wracking (hello sitting in the corner pretending to look at your phone). But Blognix is different, the day is designed to encourage participation, conversation and networking with our peers.
We have spent a lot of time with other bloggers over the past few years and it is one of the most fulfilling ways to spend your time. Blognix hopes to INSPIRE bloggers through interaction with others, along with learning from expert bloggers.
BLOGNIX IS one of the most affordable blogging conferences in the country. Nowhere else will you get the value Blognix offers to bloggers. We aim to make it as accessible as possible for bloggers to attend.
BLOGNIX IS for intermediate to advanced bloggers with in-depth discussions and tutorials to help fill your skills gaps.
BLOGNIX IS for celebrating the positive aspects of blogging. We are for the blogging community first and foremost.
BLOGNIX IS NOT a blogging 101 event, how to start a blog workshop or a beginners guide to starting a blog (although bloggers starting out are more than welcome!).
BLOGNIX IS NOT a brand event. We may have kind sponsors helping to support the event and keeping costs low to attendees, but they have no influence or direction on the event.
The registration costs includes a FULL-day conference, FREE lunch and FREE tea/coffee station. It does not include transport or accommodation costs.
There will be an evening social event (details to follow soon) so if you live far it might be worth making a weekend of it. Birmingham is rad so it's totally worth staying here.
Registration has now opened. Hope to see you there!
For more details check out the registration page or head straight here:
If you are serious about blogging, you will LOVE Blognix.

Speculations Has Been Spreading That Musician "Little Richard" Is In critical Condition
|Speculations Has Been Spreading That Musician
"Little Richard" Is In critical Condition
|Little Richard
The rumor mill started to fly and fans are now growing concerned over the singer's health and reports that family members are gathering at his bedside.
Multiple media outlets are now reporting that Little Richard is in critical condition at an unnamed hospital. However, there has been no official word from his publicist or family members about his health.
Little Richard, whose real name is Richard Wayne Penniman, was born in 1932 in Macon, Georgia, where he has resided in his older years.
Richard, born into a deeply segregated and racist environment, first gained notoriety in the Deep South, particularly among black audiences.
|Boosty Collins Post
That crossover sometimes happened directly, with early-moving whites recognizing black artists like Richard.
More often, however, the progression happened through white artists, with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and other rock icons pointing to Richard as a huge influence.
|Little Richard
Other groups, most notably Led Zeppelin, have been accused of directly copying black artists, with Willie Dixon successfully suing the group in the 80s over a direct rip-off of 'You Need Love'.
But Richard's legacy has been properly celebrated and recognized in its own right, with awards that include a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and countless other accolades. As Bootsy mentioned, Little Richard may claim the title of the 'True King of Rock n' Roll.'
Richard's family has not issued a statement on the matter. In 2013, Richard suffered a heart attack during a fundraiser for the Recording Academy, and opted to discontinue performing after that point.

DescriptionPart luxury holiday home, part art gallery, Villa Grandiosa is a really unique place to stay. This luxury villa on Lake Como is furnished with beautiful antique furniture, set off by sculptures, paintings and tapestries everywhere you look. The villa has hosted the great and the good for a number of years, so you'll be in fine company. It was once home to the composer, Bellini but artists and statesmen, from Napoleon to Churchill have also stayed here.
The enormous whitewashed exterior with its rows of shuttered windows gives a warm welcome, but the simple frontage contains a lavish interior. The sprawling property allows plenty of room for everyone in your party. Catch up in the formal or 'Tuscan' dining rooms over a meal, or relax in the cosy sitting room by the fire for the evening. But when you want to find space for a little peace and quiet, there is a den, billiards room and well-equipped fitness suite where you can work out with views of the lake. Children also have plenty of places to sneak off to and play, with two rooms dedicated to them. The lavish ensuite bedrooms are all beautifully decorated and all are supplied with luxury goose-down pillows and the finest Italian cotton sheets, to ensure a very good night's sleep.
The outdoor spaces here are simply stunning. Wander among the cooling fountains and the heavily scented roses, which are regularly cut and brought indoors for you to enjoy, or spend an afternoon on the lovely swimming pool terrace, which has views of the lake and is filled with lemon and olive trees. At the edge of the property on Lake Como's shore is a private dock area, where roses and oleander climb and steps lead down to the water. Sitting down here in the cool of the breeze, and looking out over the lake, you almost have to pinch yourself to check you aren't dreaming.

If you wish, you can hire a chef and waiter to attend to you for all or just part of the day depending on your plans. Bespoke menus can be created so that everyone in your party is well catered for.
The location and well-designed outdoor areas make this property ideal for eating alfresco. The pool terrace, with its views of the lake, and surrounded by lemon and olive groves is an idyllic spot for a meal as the sun goes down, or take a lunchtime picnic down to the private dock and tuck into local wines and cheeses at the water's edge.
Nearby there is a plethora of fabulous restaurants dotted all around the lake, so you can always hop in the car or on the taxi boats to enjoy dinner across the water, looking back at Villa Grandiosa.
Reviews"I came across it by accident and fell in love with it. It was perfect for a white wedding. The huge gardens are very colourful, and inside there are beautiful frescos. The white colour scheme perfectly offset the surroundings." Bride Magazine, Florence, Italy & London.
KidsVilla Grandiosa is very child-friendly with lots to keep little ones amused. Outside in the garden there is a play area with wooden swings, slide and a rope climb. There are also two play rooms - one downstairs by the kitchen, and one upstairs. Children of all ages will enjoy the beautiful swimming pool, too.

Data-sharing website Dropbox Inc. is reportedly hiring underwriters for an initial public offering that is set to come later this year. If this happens, the cloud-based service would become the largest US-based technology company to go public since Snap Inc. did earlier this year, which has not been successful for the company so far.
/READ MORE// If You Want to Be Creative, Don't Be Data Driven
Back in 2014, Dropbox Inc. was valued at almost $10 billion USD in a private fundraising round. The company has yet to comment on the situation.
Dropbox Inc. was originally founded in 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi, two students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The service has been instrumental in furthering technological advances in cloud storage and file synchronization.

I do see there is "Adding Google Analytics to your Story Maps" story on the Story Maps Developer's Corner and I talked with our web person here at work. We are currently working with the Shortlist Story Map template and is it possible to get statistics on the actual locations within the shortlist to know which ones are viewed relative to the other locations?
We are currently planning to put the story map within the iframe with our agency wrapper around it so I was looking at the Google Analytic statistics that the web team here normally use and they didn't think it was possible since the Story Map url doesn't change when you click between tabs or to different locations.
I was hoping someone might be able to provide this info whether it was or wasn't possible.
Thanks so much!

Hail to Pitt indeed! And that's from the legendary Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride in Pigeon Forge from the 2012 TPR New Hotness Tour. They have these awful mannequins out front of the ride including some that look like guests in line to deceive people who drive by into thinking it is a popular attraction. They also have a permanent "Now Open!" sign that would lead you to believe it is somehow a new ride.
Re: Photo TR: 1 photo for every park we visited this year!
Thank you JRice92, ThemeParkJunkie51290, JordyC, and Bill!
Taylor, I went to Pitt 1991-2001 for my doctorate. Love that city.
Yeah, the person in your avatar picture looks real, yet fake, yet real...reminds me now of 11 on Stranger Things, but older with gray hair. I've been to the Jurassic Boat Ride on the TPR Deep South Tour in 2009, but I don't remember the figures outside. I can, however, share this interesting image from that visit:

Photo TR: One photo for every park we visited in 2018!
Dear Theme Park Review Friends!
Welcome to the 10th Edition of our "One Photo for every park we visited this year" annual report for 2018!
Cheryl and I had another great year in 2018, visiting 101 different parks, fairs, and FECs all over the world. We started in New Zealand and Australia, and then visited Florida, Texas, UAE, South Korea, China, California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, France, Virginia, Ohio, British Columbia, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel, and UK. We hit some of the states more than once.
In terms of credits, this was actually our 2nd best year ever, with 175 new coaster credits for me. Cheryl usually gets a few more than I do because I get rejected in China sometimes. We managed to get on several of this year's exciting new rides, including Twisted Timbers, Steel Vengeance, Railblazer, and Oscar's Wacky Taxi!
I didn't think it was possible, but my photography skills continue to deteriorate. I'm lazier than ever. So sorry for that. If the France pictures look repetitive, that's because they are. The Mediterranean coast of France contains a string of seasonal parks and fairs, from the Italy border to the Spain border, and most of them don't open until near sundown (after the day's heat), so that group of photos are mostly at night. The fairs are largely carbon copies of each other, so apologies for repetitive photos.
Lastly, this year marked the end of a 10-year consecutive Disney park run. Starting in 2008, we hit some Disney park somewhere in the world every year, but sadly that streak ended in 2018. We half-heartedly tried to arrange a quick Orlando hop this month, but we couldn't get it together.
Next year starts in Spain!
Enough wasting your time with text; better to waste your time with photos. As always, please enjoy. Happy Holidays!
Note: First post is 1-99, second post is 100-101!

Director 'abuses' Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker on Twitter
Most recently, Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri had to delete a tweet made sarcastically to 'Veere Di Wedding' actress Swara Bhaskar when Twitter locked his account for "abusing" the actress.
It all started with Swara slamming a Kerala CPM politician for making insensitive remarks against a nun, who is a rape victim. "Absolutely shameful and disgusting!!!! Scum present across political spectrums and religious divides in India. Literally nauseating!" she said.
At this, Agnihotri, who doesn't like Swara's political views, said, "Where is the placard #MeTooProstituteNun?" He was referring to Swara's controversial and hypocritical campaign when Asifa was raped in Kathua early this year.
After Agnihotri's remark, Swara got enraged and asked Twitter India to take cognizance of the "abusive tweet". Twitter took prompt action. "No tolerance for cyber bullying and abuse of women on public platforms! (Or private - but one thing at a time) Thank you #SayNoToBullying," Swara noted later.

If you're relishing our Luxury Collection hospitality along Michigan Avenue here at The Gwen this Halloween season, you're in luck: The Windy City knows how to mark this spookified holiday with the right kind of (ghostly) gusto.
Let's have a look at just a few of the Halloween options at your fingertips as a guest at The Gwen!
Arts in the Dark Halloween Parade of Artists
You'll see spectacular costumes, floats, and performers during the annual Arts in the Dark Halloween Parade of Artists on Saturday, October 20th: a State Street tradition that serves as one of Chicago's great yearly parades. After the Arts in the Dark parade itself, you'll have after-parties at your disposal: DJs, stilt walkers, fortune tellers, and more at Millennium Park beginning at 7:30 PM, and trick-or-treating, games, and Beetlejuice over in Maggie Daley Park starting at 8 PM.
The Windy City's Paranormal Side
Why not take a deep dive into the Halloween "spirit" on a supernatural tour of Chicago, which certainly isn't lacking for ghost stories? You've got many options for delving into the city's phantasmal underbelly, including Chicago Hauntings, the Gangsters & Ghosts Tour, and a two-wheeled Haunted Chicago Segway Tour, to name a few.
32rd Annual Edgar Allen Poe Readings
Talented actors from Lifeline Theatre will once again be reading some of the most spine-tingling and fraught of Edgar Allen Poe's works in the historic Glessner House Museum. This 32nd run-through of a very special tradition takes place this year on Saturday, October 27th beginning at 5 PM.
Dead Poets Halloween Party at Life Force Arts Center
If you want even more literary horror on October 27th, swing by the annual Dead Poets Halloween Party at Life Force Arts Center, a spooky soiree hosted by Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley that begins at 7 PM. Dress as your personal fave Dead Poet, and you might just nab the Best Costume prize!
The Gates of Hell to Manslaughter Manor, Big Top Terror to Infestation, Dead Haven to Henchmen Alley: Do you have the steely nerves required to brave the various haunted realms and "Scare Zones" of Fright Fest over at Six Flags Great America?
The perfect Chicago Halloween celebration for the kiddos, Spooky Zoo turns Lincoln Park Zoo into a trick-or-treating extravaganza: Better than 30,000 kids and families attend each year!

Air Cadets in Guildford are getting new experiences thanks to a grant from the RAF Charitable Trust (RAFCT). 261 (Guildford) Squadron received £1200 from the RAFCT, to help their adult volunteers gain nationally recognised qualifications that allow them to provide new activities to the cadets.
The motto of the Air Training Corps is Venture Adventure, so naturally adventurous outdoor activities are high on the agenda. To date adult volunteers have attended archery instructor, Lowland Leader and Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme leader courses. They have also gained St John's Activity First Aid qualifications, ensuring things are done safely.
Two volunteers have also concentrated on getting cadets out on the water, one having completed the British Canoe Union 2 Star Award, and another has recently completed a Level 1 Award in Coaching Paddlesport.
Coming up next…
But the Squadron hasn't finished yet. There are plans for qualifications in climbing and clay pigeon shooting in the pipeline. Instructors are working hard to ensure the cadets will get to experience an even wider range of activities in the future.
While the Air Cadets do offer some of the training courses, there is often still a charge to the individual for the national governing body. Flight Sergeant Luke Cooper, the Squadron commander and newly qualified paddlesport coach said, "We strive to offer as many activities to our cadets as possible. This grant has allowed our volunteer staff to gain the qualifications needed to make this happen."
The RAF Charitable Trust was formed in 2005, providing support to the RAF family, including serving personnel (both regular and reserve), cadets and veterans. The Trust's mission is to promote the Royal Air Force, to support its people now and into the future and to encourage air-mindedness and the aviation-related education of youth.
Find out more about funding
You can find out more about the grants available through the RAF Charitable Trust on their website. There are also a number of awards and scholarships made available through the Trust, which cadets are eligible to apply for.
There are many other charitable organisations which offer grants to squadrons or individuals.For over 10 years, the RAF Association has been running its Flying Scholarship programme for the Air Cadet Organisation (ACO) and the Girls Venture Corps Air Cadets (GVCAC). Although the 2017 applications are closed, keep an eye on their website for details of the next round.
Winning candidates are rewarded with a course of 35 hours flight training in a light aircraft, and the course covers all or part of the tuition needed to obtain a National Private Pilot Licence (NPPL). Five runners-up receive 12 hours training each.
The Ulysses Trust is a registered charity which provides funding assistance to challenging expeditions and adventurous activities, including those run Air Cadet squadrons. Their focus is on expeditions which;
- Help cadets develop leadership, teamwork, confidence, initiative, self-discipline and judgement.
- Include voluntary social action or community service at home or abroad.
Visit their website for more details on how to apply.

A resident of Marino, a small suburban village about 5 km northwest of Moscow, was shocked to discover two bear cubs in a cardboard box next to a garbage container near his home. Through his job at a local newspaper, the local appealed for help from Moscow's Department of Environmental Protection. Kennel workers were sent to the town to recover the cubs and temporarily take them into their own care.
After their rehabilitation, the cubs will be able to return to the wild.
Hopefully, the cubs won't bear a grudge against the cruel person or persons who dumped them off.

Civil War Inside the Deep State
Right now inside the United States and around the globe there is a war going on inside what is known as the 'Deep State' or the 'Shadow Government'. Although this may seem unrelated to the issues regarding the BCSC these issues are actually related. The BCSC is simply a public financial tool of the 'deep state' government that really rules the West.
As we have mentioned before any real investigation against Barrick Gold reveals that it is a major financial tool and arm of the Deep State and is involved not just in market manipulation and fraud but likley false flag terror attacks.
Regulators such as the BCSC and the OSC are aware of the actions of companies that are tools of the Deep State such as Barrick Gold, at the very least they are aware of the mass financial fraud.
Instead of doing their jobs they have chosen to let the fraud continue.
See below link to an interesting article regarding the war inside the Deep State, a possible precursor to Civil War in the US.

"Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds."

Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

FACE IT, nobody owes you a living.
What you achieve, or fail to achieve in your lifetime
Is directly related to what you do or fail to do.
No one chooses his parent or childhood,
But you can choose your own direction.
Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome,
But that too is relative to each individual.
You can change anything in your life
If you want to badly enough.
Excuses are for losers!
Those who take responsibility for their actions
Are the real winners in life.
Winners meet life challenges head on
Knowing there are guarantees, and give it all they've got
And never think it's too late or too early to begin.
Time plays no favorites
And will pass whether you act or not
Take control of your LIFE
Dare to Dream and take risks.......
If you aren't willing to work for your goals
Don't expect others to.

The Girl In The Glass
When you get what you want in the struggle of life
And the world makes you queen for a day...
Go to the mirror and take a look at yourself
And see what that girl has to say.
It isn't your mother, father or husband
Whose judgment on you must pass.
The person whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the girl staring back from the glass.
You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
And think you are a wonderful girl.
But the girl in the glass says you are a bum
If you can't look her straight in the eye.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on your back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the girl in the glass.

Something I tell myself when I feel like someone is trying to tear me down.
"In the end, being first and achieving all your goals doesn't happen all the time. Still, I think you should dream big dreams, as long as you're willing to work toward those dreams. Never look back and say, 'If only I had done this or that, I could have reached my dreams.' When you have a dream, your first and only goal should be to prepare yourself as best you can and try your best. That's all anyone can ask. When you do that, as my dad says, no matter what the scoreboard reads, you'll always walk away a winner."

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow --
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out --
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit --
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

You're a very special person
Though at times you may feel bad
You are special to your mother
And important to your dad
Your parents may have chided you
And you've never understood -
That they wanted what is best for you
And did it for your good.
Because you are so special
They want to see you grow -
Into the kind of person -
That people like to know.
Life isn't always easy
But you have to hold on tight
To the knowledge that you're special
And always do what's right.
If you learn to cope with problems
And be careful what you say
If you keep the ten commandments
Then there will come a day -
In the not too distant future
When you'll be very glad
That you were important
To a loving Mom and Dad.

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this:
Begin again.
Begin to see yourself as you were
When you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been.
Begin to remember what worked for you
(and what worked against you),
And try to capture the magic again.
Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child --
To live a lifetime each day.
Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you
For years:
The problems that don't matter anymore,
The tears that cried themselves away,
And the worries that are going to wash away
On the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings.
Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;
And if we will be wise,
We will turn away from the problems of the past
And give the future - and ourselves - a chance
To become the best of friends.
Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself...
Begin again.

What Shapes an Ecosystem
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Biotic Factors – the biological influences on organisms within an ecosystem Abiotic Factors – the physical or nonliving factors that shape an ecosytem Together biotic and abiotic factors determine the survival and growth of an organism and the productivity of the ecosystem in which the organism lives
Habitat Habitat – is the area where an organism lives
Niche Niche – is the full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions For example the niche of owl is all of the following biotic and abiotic factors: Lives in trees Feeds at night Feeds on mice Lives in cool climate Which of the following above are biotic and abiotic?
Niche No two species can share the same niche in the same habitat
Different species can occupy niches that are very similar
Niche Example What is the Niche in Baseball?
What is the Niche of different local businesses?
Community Interactions
Competition occurs when organisms compete for a resource Resource – is any necessity of life, such as water, nutrients, light, food, or space Direct competition results in a winner and a loser (the loser doesn't survive) Competitive Exclusion Principle – state that no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time
Community Interactions
Predation – where one organism captures and feeds on another organism (lion and gazelle) Symbiosis – any relationship in which two species live closely together (3 forms as follows) Mutualism – both species benefit from the relationship (ex. bee and flower) Commensalism – one member of the association benefits and the other is neither helped or harmed (ex. barnacles attached to a whale) Parasitism – one organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it (ex. tick and dog) Can you think of any other example for all of these?
Ecological Succession
Ecosystems are constantly changing in response to natural and human disturbances As an ecosystem changes, older inhabitants gradually die out and new organisms move in, causing further changes in the community This series of predictable changes that occurs in a community over time is called Ecological Succession
Primary Succession Primary succession is the first time life appears on a new surface of land Occurs after volcanic activity or melting of glaciers When primary succession begins there is no soil, just ash and rock The first species to populate the areas are called Pioneer Species
Primary Succession The primary species on volcanic rock are lichen
Lichen is made up of a algae and fungus that can grow on rock The lichen grow on the rock and break it down When the lichen die they add organic material to help form soil for plants to grow on
Secondary Succession Disturbances such as Fire or farming can alter an ecosystem When the disturbance is over, community interactions tend to restore the ecosystem to its original condition through Secondary Succession For ex. Lightning in woodlands causes a fire burning the woodlands down, the fire also causes pine cones to explode and spread their seed to allow the forest to re-grow once the disaster is over

To help some senior dogs in bad health who ended up in the shelter, we set up the Rainbow Bridge Fund. We were able to find wonderful "fospice" homes for Goombah, Kanella, Summer, JuJu, Carl and Lady, among others. Goombah and Kanella both had cancer and have since passed, but were able to live out their final days in style. To support our Rainbow Bridge Fund, click here
Here are just a few stories of the people and animals PALS has helped since our founding in 2014....
Hugh is a very sensitive Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who is a big baby at heart. He fell apart in the shelter and we were able to send him to some much needed R and R at a doggie training ranch, where he could get the peace and training he needed. We then sent him for more training with a special foster, and finally to a wonderful, loving home.

Just a comment from a user's point of view.
Regarding your "how to post videos"...
If I were a "new visitor" here, I'd be a little put off that just opening the topic was enough to have DIVX attempt to download its web player into my computer (which is exactly what happens if it's not already there).
By the time I read far enough into your post to realize what was going on, it was already asking me.
Do you think this might be viewed as a bit "unfriendly"?
Perhaps you could put this "another layer deep" into a thread and let people decide (after reading your post) whether to "go forward" with this or not.

Rams trade up for DB, RB in rounds 2-3
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lamarcus Joyner was flattered by the investment. The Florida State All-American is eager to prove his worth.
The St. Louis Rams traded up three spots in the second round with Buffalo, also giving the Bills their fifth-round pick, to take the undersized but hard-hitting Joyner with the 41st overall pick of the draft Friday night.
"That was so special," Joyner said. "That was like, 'Wow, all these great guys left on the board and they traded up for me.' I owe them for that, they sacrificed to me."
The Rams were happy to snag him. They'd been worried that Tennessee would take Joyner, and the Titans ended up trading down after the Rams made their move.
"He was clearly the guy we identified," Fisher said. "We didn't want to lose him. He's just an outstanding player."
They leaned on their Auburn connection again in the third round, adding running back Tre' Mason after taking tackle Greg Robinson with the second overall pick. Fisher billed Mason as a change-of-pace option to go with Zac Stacy.
"Me and Greg, we're a dynamic duo," Mason said. "Greg is my brother."
Snead is a former Auburn tight end and Fisher's son, Trent, was a backup safety last season on the national runner-up team. They had enough information that they didn't feel the need to bring Mason in for a visit or give him a private workout. Mason had been a little surprised about the pick because there had been virtually no contact with the Rams.
"We did our homework," Fisher said. "We felt like we knew everything we needed to know about the kid. We just couldn't pass him up."
Mason, 5-foot-8 and 207 pounds, rushed for 195 yards in the national championship game loss to Florida State. He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection running behind Robinson.
Stacy just missed a 1,000-yard season as a rookie last year. The Rams also like Benny Cunningham, an undrafted rookie last season who had a 100-yard game against the Bears.
Joyner made a top 30 visit to St. Louis and left with a "great vibe from all the coaches."
"It just felt like a great atmosphere and a great group of people," Joyner said. "I just felt like I was their type of player."
The 5-foot-8, 184-pound Joyner was one of four All-Americans for the national champion Seminoles and fills one of the team's pre-draft needs. He started every game his last three seasons and was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski and Jim Thorpe awards after leading the nation's stingiest pass defense.
"If I've got to pack on 100 pounds and move to offensive guard, whatever I need to do for the organization," Joyner said.
The Rams addressed the line on both sides of the ball in the first round, also taking defensive tackle Aaron Donald with the 13th selection. They entered the second day of the draft with a surplus of picks to use as collateral.
Joyner was second on the team with a career-high 69 tackles and led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 5½ sacks.
"I'm aggressive, I'm physical," Joyner said. "I know no man is going to want to play 60 minutes like I am."
St. Louis lacked depth in the secondary even before releasing cornerback Cortland Finnegan due to injury concerns after the season. Joyner could provide an immediate boost in the nickel package and at free safety, and also is an accomplished return man.
Joyner started 27 games at safety and 13 at cornerback in college.
"You went to see him play and you just noticed his range," Snead said. "He plays faster than he timed and he hits larger than he is."

Q: My squat is currently 235 (see form check video) but my deadlift is suffering badly. Before I went on a 2 week vacation at work (where my gym is) I was pulling 225 with pretty good form but now I'm struggling to pull 185 without a little rounding (form check video of 185, form check video of 205).
Is it normal for a deadlift to lag behind the squat like this and what are some ways that I can improve deadlift strength capability? In what way would I be weak that would cause my deadlift to suffer?
A: Here's one thing that happened:
I went on a 2 week vacation
When you're doing a novice progression, a 2-week break can set you way, way back. I think you should be working at around 175. Don't try 205 again without working your way back up.
That said, there are some things. Your first squat rep was a tad high but the rest were okay. Good job! Yes, it's weird for your deadlift to be so low compared to your squat. Why might that be?
Well, your setup for the deadlift is simply not correct.
- You have no good reason to alternate your grip. Use a double overhand hook grip with chalk.
- You are jerking the bar off the floor. That's an advanced technique. Instead, squeeeeeeeze the bar off the floor after you're already tight.
- You're letting the bar get in your head. Walk up to it with PURPOSE. Get your feet set, your grip set, your back set, take a big breath, lock everything tight in place, and squeeze the bar up your legs. Accept no rounding.
If you fix those things, you might find yourself advancing normally with the deadlift. If you feel weird having a disproportionate squat:deadlift ratio, which you don't need to feel, you could (if you want) stay at 230 for an extra couple sessions to make your form perfect. In particular, make sure you get all the way down below parallel in every rep.
Typically you should be able to deadlift more than you squat BUT there are many reasons why you wouldn't be:
- Form – either a bad form in the deadlift where you're not lifting what you could OR a bad squat form where you think you ARE lifting more than you actually are (how deep are you going, etc.). Be honest with both and provide video if you can.
- body shape – shorter/stout people squat better – we're all shaped differently and have different benefits because of it
- length of training – it takes time and a good program to progress the way you should. If you're randomly approaching your lift program, you'll get random results
- past injuries – if you've been injured previously and favoring some part of your body you could be stunting your lifting ability – most times it's more mental than physical
My suggested next steps:
- Get a knowledgeable trainer/friend to watch you squat/deadlift and critic your form (or provide video here)
- put a realistic plan together so you can see on-going gains (look into starting strength or 5/3/1 or madcow)

The abstract and faraway don't always sustain the interest of the young. Place- and community-based education makes learning relevant.
A year ago, when one of our sons was a senior in high school, he participated in a class project that involved investigating how his school could reduce energy consumption and waste. The district had recently embarked on a sustainability campaign aimed at changing how it managed its physical plant as well as its curriculum.
Eliot and his classmates decided to investigate how much it would cost to produce all of the electrical power used in the building with solar panels. This required his team to gather records about annual electricity consumption and cost as well as to determine the size of a solar array capable of producing this much power. The team found that the price tag to install such an array would be in excess of $1 million and that the payback period for the investment would be more than 20 years. Other students investigated less expensive innovations, such as using compostable plates, bowls, and flatware in the school cafeteria and installing waterless urinals. Later in the spring, students shared their findings with school leaders and an architectural team working with the district to design two new elementary schools.

Microsoft Dynamics AX new feature alert – Conflict Checking
From time to time,we detail new features that we've released as part of our ongoing development efforts with our ProjAX (now known as Projects+) 2012 industry solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX on this blog . ProjAX (now known as Projects+) extentions help in extending the native capabilities of the Microsoft Dynamics AX Services Industries solution to provide best in class features for Professional Services firms and other project-driven organizations. This time, we're introducing a new concept called Conflict Checking that we've added to Dynamics AX 2012 by way of our ProjAX (now known as Projects+) extensions.
In working with a couple of organizations that provide consulting services and other technology-based solutions to the legal industry, we identified a requirement to cross-reference any possible conflicts of interest that may exist when evaluating the organization's ability to pursue a new client engagement. This process of "conflict checking" entails mining the data in your ERP system to determine if a legal matter that you're about to pursue might be related to clients or individuals that you're already working with in a conflicting manner.
What makes conflict checking a little more difficult is that you might be mining for data that isn't necessarily tied to any specific transactions, meaning it's not automatically stored in the ERP system. For example, in a class action lawsuit that might have a large number of participants, most of these individuals are not tied to any transactions in the ERP system, making it difficult to associate and identify them.
You may have read previously that SAG added a concept to our ProjAX (now known as Projects+) solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX called Qualification Management. This feature is used to store detailed attributes about the projects you're working on which you can then mine. More recently, we've extended our Qualification tool to include a concept called Interested Parties (see screenshot below).
This feature allows you to create a list of third parties that are related to this project, or "matter" as it's called in the legal business. These parties are then associated with the project via that project's qualification data. Users can either key in these Interested Parties, or you could upload them from an external source, like Excel for example.
When determining whether to pursue a new matter or engagement, you can then go to the Qualification Search screen we've developed in Dynamics AX and run a query on any attribute in the Qualification system to see what matches you get. So you can search for a given type of matter, or certain individuals that were Interested Parties, or any other attribute that would help you determine if there is a conflict that might prevent you from pursuing it.
This isn't a full-blown conflict management tool like some large law firms use, but it does provide a simple and straightforward way to store these relationships and then mine the data to look for conflicts.
