WATCH: Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo Puyat Fangirls Over Lea Salonga
Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo Puyat regularly mingles with many well-known newsmakers in her current cabinet position.
Last night, at the state dinner given by President Rodrigo Duterte for Chinese President Xi Jinping at Malacañang Palace, Puyat hobnobbed with some of the nation's wealthiest and most powerful.

However, it was Tony-Award winner Lea Salonga who made Puyat's evening. Salonga performed at the state dinner.
"I am a FAN of Lea Salonga," Puyat posted on her personal Instagram and Facebook accounts. "I rarely have these fan moments but she is different. Back in 1990, my late sister and I flew all the way to London just so we could watch her in Miss Saigon. We even patiently waited after the play just so we could have a picture taken with her and have her autograph my playbill."
"Imagine my surprise when I bumped into her as we were waiting for our car! I was so THRILLED to see her that I didn't realize that I was begging people to take a picture of us," Puyat posted.
"28 years since I watched her in Miss Saigon, I am still a fan and will forever be."

Wimbledon 2017: Roger Federer enters the unknown against Mischa Zverev
If Roger Federer is to be stopped from advancing to the last 16 at Wimbledon 2017, Mischa Zverev will have to do something to disturb his cool.tennis Updated: Jul 08, 2017 11:33 IST
Few players at Wimbledon know the biographies and styles of their opponents in as much detail as Roger Federer but even the seven-times champion is unclear exactly what to expect from Saturday's third-round opponent Mischa Zverev.
Federer has won all four meetings against the Russian-born German, the most prominent exponent of old-fashioned 'serve and volley' tennis.
But when it comes to receiving, the 27th-seeded Zverev has taken radically different approaches to dealing with the Swiss's serve.
"I have played him on several occasions now, and he's played me different every time," said Roger Federer.

Here's @rogerfederer to kick things off in style...#MyWimbledonMemory pic.twitter.com/8r0EXl05gA
"In Australia he played me really close on the second serve and would try to attack me, everything that he saw that was short he would come.
"Whereas in Halle when I played him he played from way back, which is highly unusual on the grass. Especially second serve.

"So I guess I don't know quite what to expect in the match on Saturday," added Roger Federer, who will be posed very different questions by the left-hander.
"Because he serves and volleys, points are played differently. I will train and warm up with left-handed players.
"I think that's the biggest switch always when you play against an opponent who is left-handed, that whole swinging serve, kicking serve, especially getting used to the returning is most important," he said.
Mischa Zverev, whose younger brother Alexander is also in the third round at Wimbledon, suggests that, with nothing to lose, he may taken an even more cavalier approach than usual.
"I think this time I will try to go all or nothing, maybe even more than before. I don't know," he said.
"Hopefully he's going to have not his best day, because if he has one of those days, it's really tough to beat him. It's very tough, believe me. Then see how it goes.
"It depends how he serves. See how the bounce is, see if I can read his serve well on grass or not. We'll see. I haven't decided myself yet," he said.
If Federer is to be stopped from advancing to the last 16, Zverev will have to do something to disturb his cool.
"I don't know if it's something I can do or he can do to himself. I'll maybe give him a mean, angry look before the match," he joked.
"So far every time we saw each other, we've been joking around in the locker room or warmup area. He seemed pretty relaxed to me."


text: Stephan Karl Maria Weiland, 1958–2007Keil, UlrichEpidemiology: September 2007 - Volume 18 - Issue 5 - p 652 doi: 10.1097/EDE.0b013e31811eaa4f Remembrance Free Article MetricsMetrics Stephan Weiland died suddenly on 19 March 2007 after a full day's work at his institute in Ulm and an evening swim. Stephan was a well-trained sportsman—he was a marathon runner, a mountain climber, and a dedicated cyclist. At the time of his death he was preparing for a triathlon. Stephan was born in Münster on 25 December 1958. He studied medicine at the University of Cologne from 1978 to 1985, followed by 2 years of surgery training at the University Hospital of Cologne. From 1987 to 1989 he studied at McGill University in Montreal, where he completed an MSc degree in epidemiology. He joined the Department of Social Medicine and Epidemiology at Ruhr-University Bochum in 1990. In 1993 he accepted a position at the University of Münster, and in 2002 he moved to the University of Ulm where he was appointed Professor and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology. Stephan started his career in the field of occupational epidemiology. He created a large historical cohort study and a surveillance project in the German rubber industry, which over the years produced a number of landmark papers. Early in his career, he also became interested in the epidemiology of asthma and allergies. Together with colleagues in England, New Zealand, and Germany, he started the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood—the well-known ISAAC Project. Throughout his career, Stephan was particularly dedicated to this project, and became one of the most important members of the ISAAC family. The international community will perhaps remember him best for his contributions to this worldwide endeavor. He had a sincere interest in science, and was always a pleasant and stimulating person to work with. Stephan Weiland viewed epidemiology as a contributor to clinical medicine and as a basic science of public health. One of his last papers is titled "Increasing life expectancy in Germany." His paper begins by reporting the impressive increases of life expectancy during the last decades. It goes on to note that, despite this progress, nearly 20% of men and 10% of women die before reaching the age of 65. It is heart-breaking to realize that Stephan belongs to this group. He was beloved by his friends and colleagues, and will be sorely missed. Figure © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Nov. 1, The New York Times on Donald Trump avoiding taxes:
Donald Trump's claim that he was smart for figuring out how not to pay federal income taxes was obnoxious when he said it, at least for the millions of Americans who pay their fair share. Now we learn that he was able to avoid some of those taxes decades ago with a tactic that is illegal now and was highly dubious even then.
In the 1990s, with his Atlantic City casinos and other businesses tottering on the verge of collapse, Mr. Trump negotiated a deal under which his creditors — investors and banks — would forgive part of the debt in exchange for equity in partnerships he controlled. Without such swaps, Mr. Trump would have had to report the forgiven debt as income, offsetting a big portion of the $916 million loss he claimed on his tax return in 1995. That loss allowed him to avoid paying taxes for up to 18 years.
It is impossible to know whether the Internal Revenue Service challenged Mr. Trump's use of the swaps because, unlike every major party presidential nominee for nearly 40 years, he refuses to release his tax returns. But as The Times reported last week, the maneuver was so suspect that his lawyers advised against it.
And it's clear that even then tax officials and federal lawmakers were hoping to end the practice because it allowed businesses and rich individuals to avoid taxes by swapping forgiven debt with equity that was worth little or nothing. Indeed, even as Mr. Trump's lawyers were advising him against this approach, one tax expert wrote that trying to find legal support for it was like trying to find evidence for "the existence of the Loch Ness monster."
Congress barred such swaps by corporations in 1993, and by partnerships, the business structure Mr. Trump uses, in 2004.
As is its habit, Mr. Trump's campaign chose to regard these latest revelations as yet another display of his genius. But like any other effort to game the tax system, his tactics imposed real costs by shifting the burden to taxpayers who have no recourse to such strategies and must pay full freight, including people whose taxes are withheld and cannot shelter their income even if they want to.
It has become ever more difficult for the I.R.S. to police the kind of tax avoidance Mr. Trump has engaged in. The Republican-controlled Congress cut the I.R.S.'s budget by about $500 million in 2015, and last year the agency audited just 0.8 percent of individual taxpayers, down from 1.1 percent in 2010. Its enforcement staff has shrunk by 23 percent since 2010, to 39,000 people, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
The latest disclosures about Mr. Trump's taxes also further undercut the argument that he is uniquely qualified to fix what he has called a rigged system. Why would a man who has spent most of his professional life avoiding the shared responsibility of taxes all of a sudden care about helping others, especially those less fortunate? The truth is, of course, that he has no intention of doing so; according to a recent analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Mr. Trump's tax proposals would confer by far the greatest advantages on the wealthiest Americans.

For Part 1 of my guide to Paris, I want to share with you a bunch of sights that are all clustered very close together / near the Opera Garnier arrondissement. I think you can easily complete all of these in a day and it's all very walkable (but do make sure you have walking shoes on as you will be on your feet the whole day!)

The 9th arrondissement, Opera Garnier is where we stayed during our time in Paris. But we actually had no idea what Opera Garnier was aside from a place that holds opera shows. It'd always sit so grandly at the end of the street staring back at us, full of mystery, every time we walked back to our apartment. On the last day, we decided to check it out and I'm so glad we did. Behind the mysterious exterior is a crazy beautiful interior full of painted ceilings, suspended chandeliers, hidden rooms and more. We bought a ticket that allows you to explore the public areas of the building by yourself – I actually had no idea it was a thing to just look around inside, as I assumed people visited to see opera shows only. Turns out, there was a massive line out front of people who simply wanted to look at the building. And it's totally worth it. It reminds me of the interior of Palace of Versailles, but in the heart of Paris.
Wearing The Tinsel Rack Eve Embroidery dress (Use the coupon code 'TTRXCONNIE' for 10% off all orders from The Tinsel Rack – excludes sale and resident brands) | Bared Shoes 'Rooster' double monk shoes
As one of the main sights in Paris, I totally recommend visiting Louvre early, before it opens. I find that Paris isn't as busy as London and felt much sleepier than I remembered. You can be out and about in London at 8am and it'd be full of people (heck it'd be full of people at 6am) but in Paris, 8am is still very quiet from experience. Check out the sights, buildings and the area before lining up for the museum should you wish. Then come again during the middle of the day to see how different and how busy it can get! We passed by the Louvre more than three times during our time in Paris, as we would walk through it to get home. Each time it'd be a completely different experience depending on the crowds and time of day and I totally enjoy the more peaceful times of the day.
Tuileries Garden is basically right next to the Louvre – so it's a good sight to couple with the Louvre. Just cross a road (if you can even call that a road) and you're there. It's a beautiful garden with stunning tree lined paths, flowers and in summer time, a little carnival area as well. We went on the ferris wheel there and saw the Eiffel Tower from above as well as Basilica du Sacre-Coeur all the way on the other side. It's so nice to see Paris in summer actually – when I visited Tuileries in winter back in 2012, all the trees were bare with not a flower in sight!
Again, also next to the Louvre is Palais-Royal. It's a hidden (though not so hidden anymore) gem with an inner courtyard with picturesque black and white striped columns which is an art piece known as 'Les Colonies de Buren'. It's heaps busy here as everyone just loves it. Hang around here and explore the architecture, the little garden in the courtyard as well as the line of shops nearby. I love it here as it's all enclosed within the inside of the building, which makes it feel like a hidden space.
Stay tuned for part 2, where we venture out of the Opera area to explore some sights a little further away!

1959 Austin Healey 3000 MKI BN7 2-Seater
Austin Healey 3000 Mk I chassis BN7-L/2551. This early version of the Healey 3000 is a genuine BN7 2-seater car. 650 UYH was built on the 24th 25th June 1959 and left the factory in the most desirable Healey colour of Healey Blue over Ivory White. The Healey was sold new in Chicago USA with wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering column, road speed tyres, laminated windscreen, miles-per-hour speedometer and overdrive. In 2014 the Healey was imported back to the UK and registered with its current registration number and owner. The car was subject to a right-hand drive steering conversion and light restoration work.
A structurally superb Healey, this car retains its original chassis. The car has excellent panel gaps and in March 2018 was subject to a full bare metal outer body respray in its original colour of Healey Blue and Ivory White. The paintwork was completed by Pro line paint specialists in Earls Barton and the quality is excellent with special attention to the gaps and swage lines. During the paint process, a new aluminium bonnet and boot were fitted for improved panel fit by Motor Circuit Bodies.
In the current owners ownership, this superb example of an Austin Healey 3000 has had a full lead-free conversion, suspension and brake overhaul, new 72 spoke chrome wire wheels and interior trim components from John Skinner Manufacturing that include new seat covers, carpets and trim panels.
The car retains its original engine and gearbox with numbers confirmed on the BMIHT Heritage Certificate. Running on its original 1 ¾ HD6 SU carbs, the engine has excellent oil pressure hot or cold, runs smoothly and does not overheat. Cold start is excellent. A stainless-steel tubular exhaust manifold has been recently fitted along with a side exit stainless exhaust silencer to match.
Recent mechanical work by ourselves at JME Healeys include a gearbox rebuild, front suspension work along with a fully documented service and checkover.
Of all the Austin Healeys JME sees through its door on an annual basis, this car needs to be inspected and driven to fully appreciate its ride quality, performance and refinement.

This original UK car is matching numbers and supplied with a detailed history and receipts file. The original chassis, body and engine plates remain on the car. The car has never been fully rebuilt and maintains its 60s feel and patina.
First owner William Chilton of High Wycombe kept the car for 7 years and covered 12, 671 miles. Second owner registered the car in the name of his furniture company, Antocks Lairn and covered about 15,000 miles in his one year of ownership. The third owner, Oliver Chappele, his brother in law, kept the car 2 years and covered 1,500 miles. The current owner purchased the car from Oliver Chapelle on September 26th 1971 when it had covered just 29,557 miles. After using the car for 7 years, The owner stored the car for 28 years and started using it again in 2006. The Healey has now covered a genuine 52,000 miles only, supported by the following previous owner documents and MOT certificates.
The original engine was rebuilt 2 years ago by, race specialists, Classic and Modern Engines, Bracknell. A Dennis Welch alloy head, alloy sump with baffle plate, and backplate were fitted, together new oil and water pumps, reground camshaft with BJ8 profiles, with the head gas flowed and all components balanced before and during assembly. The radiator was re-cored and a Revotec electric fan fitted. New 1 ¾ SU carbs replace the standard 1 ½ inch, giving a 36% increase in volume but looking the same. SU electronic fuel pump fitted. The distributor was rebuilt by the Distributor Doctor in 2015 and is still fitted with points. A complete, rear exit, Dennis Welch exhaust is fitted. The result is a very smooth, strong engine, with power from 1,000 rpm and good torque in the crucial mid speed range from 1,000 to 4,000 rpm, which will provide good power up to 6,000 rpm if required. A 30% power increase was achieved over the standard engine. The engine was re-installed in October 2016.

Part of the Innovation, Technology, and Knowledge Management book series (ITKM)
Part of the Innovation, Technology, and Knowledge Management book series (ITKM)
The wave of protests and populist uprisings in the Middle East has heightened the focus on a volatile region. But the emphasis on political issues has obscured underlying issues concerning education, infrastructure, research, innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainable environmental and social development. This volume, emerging in the aftermath of a conference and workshop on science and technology in the region, presents contributions from a range of experts from the Middle East, Europe, and the world to provide fresh new insights and perspectives on the challenges and prospects for regional development in the changing global context of our time. The authors explore such topics as: the role of information and communication technologies; mindset change in support of investment in intangible assets and risk-taking; how to approach cultural issues, institutions and governance; collaborations with other regions, and; benchmarking performance while drawing lessons of relevance for the special local context. Ultimately, they offer a number of precise policy recommendations and practical insights for creating an enabling environment for capturing economic, political, and social opportunity.

|The Photographer's Gallery, Ramillies St, London W1
I have always loved the exhibition of the work of artists competing in the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. Even though my choice of winner and the prize winner rarely coincide, the exhibition has always included very worthy contenders. This, together with the new home of the Photographer's Gallery in Ramillies street, made the visit to the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize for 2013, a delight. The new gallery is a converted warehouse that more resembles a New York gallery than a London space. It is filled with an openness and light coming in the glass wall on the two upper floors overlooking the buildings below. The viewing conditions are ideal.
|Chris Killip, Boo and His Rabbit Lynemouth, 1983
The four photographers in the 2013 competition are all so different in their concerns, but yet, connect in their focus on the social margins and the marginalized. Chris Killip's What Happened – Great Britain, 1970-90 is the only body of work included in this year's that resembles traditional C-print photography. Killip's spare, beautifully composed black and white images of the working class, of children, old people, the poor in the north of England sits squarely within a British Realist tradition. Killip's photographs are, without a doubt, the most aesthetically pleasing, but it has to be said, he does not explore new possibilities with the medium. His photographs are classically composed, beautifully lit images that show the despair of a post-industrial land. That said, while they do not pose formal challenges, the works are important for their evocation of the silence and desolation of a world that has been forgotten by the nation. Britain still needs to see this narrative.
|Mishka Henner, Contrada Vallecupa, Colonnella, Abruzzi, Italy, 2011
Mishka Henner's photographs, video images and digital printouts for No Man's Land (2012) get my vote for the prize. What's interesting about Henner's works is their topicality, their complex engagement with political discourses on gender, on sex workers, on the politics of the production of images and visuality, on the European Union and its growing austerity measures. The politics of Henner's works are at the forefront of issues being grappled with at all levels of European culture and policy making. Henner's images in both still and moving form are created through Google Street View at locations that he found through on-line forums used by men to find sex workers on the outskirts of major cities in southern European. Thus the multiple discourses of mapping, travelling, marginal cultures and peoples, sex work, voyeurism, and others, merge in what are not always aesthetically alluring images. But as we look at prints of Google Street view, we are forced to think about the politics of the images. When we look at Killip's lovely c-prints, it's easy to get distracted by the beauty of the carefully composed images, but with Henner's images there is nowhere else to look: we are forced to look the degredation and unsettling representations in the eye. At the same time as what might be called Henner's anti-aesthetic is difficult to look at, it is also striking because it is the mode of image information to which we are becoming more and more used. By exhibiting our accustomed form of image consumption in the eye, but through a different perspective, on the walls of a gallery, we are unsettled.
|Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin, Plate 23, 2011
The other installation I found interesting is Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin's War Primer 2, 2012. Broomberg and Chanarin have created a book which does not simply reappropriate Bertolt Brecht's photo-essay War Primer (1955). They google search what Brecht calls the "photo-epigrams" that accompany images of WWII destruction from 1955, and paste the resulting images over those of Brecht's original. The result is a conversation between the destruction resulting from Nazi Germany and that of the "war on terror." On the one hand, we could argue that bodies falling out of the World Trade Center on fire pasted over destroyed Dresden, is a dialogue between the two images. On the other hand, we could just as convincingly argue for an equation between the two wars. If the latter is the chosen interpretation, then Broomberg and Chanarin's exhibition is distressing. However, as we look closer, we also recognize that the equation between the destruction of WWII and that of the "war on terror" is an equation established by the internet, as it is an equation borne of the google searches. In turn, this realization then reflects on the deeply damaging effects of the media that document these and other events.
Indeed, time spent with this installation reveal that there are still more dialogues taking place here. The uncanny relevance of the texts that Brecht pasted under his images to the contemporary war on terror , is frightening. Because through the results of the google searches of Brecht's texts, a question emerges: who is the terrorizer in the "war on terror"? Is it Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban? Or is it the American government? This is the real conversation or dialogue that then gets set up, where one "organization" is as destructive as the other. Again, while Henner's images engage in a very troubling sense of our own culpability in the oppression through visualization of those on the margins, Broomberg and Chanarin's installation slowly uncovers deep ambiguities that disturb in a different way. To my mind, this is the role of contemporary art. Nevertheless, forced to choose between the two, Henner gets my vote because of its reach, its accessibility, and its topicality.

There are plenty of dvergr with a penchant for destruction, but no affinity whatsoever for d eep badgers or similar animals, and these studious soldiers take a different approach to underworld warfare, caving in tunnels and burying foes by the dozens on their way paved with explosive ambersticks.
Amberstick Sapper
As soon as you take this archetype at 3rd level, you get professional training for handling ambersticks. You add your proficiency bonus and Dexterity or Strength modifier (your choice) to the save DC of ambersticks you throw.
You also can craft a steady supply of ambersticks. Upon finishing a long rest, you create a number of ambersticks equal to your proficiency bonus. However, ambersticks you create this way are unstable and don't work for anyone but you and are short-lived. They cannot be sold and become immediately inert after completing a long rest or 24 hours after creation, whichever happens first.
The Eternal Amberstick
Also at 3rd level, you gain a special amberstick that, oddly, is not destroyed upon exploding—instead, it just emits a devastating explosion. After exploding, it simmers and glows with an unearthly light, not unlike amber embers, slowly recharging its violent energies. By completing a short rest and meditating, you may recharge your eternal amberstick. If you lose your eternal amberstick, you may replace it by buying 450 gp worth of material and spending a day's worth of downtime crafting a replacement.
Starting at 7th level, you learn to prepare a special type of amber explosive after completing a long rest, so-called ambercaps. You may create one or more ambercaps that deal varying amounts of damage in a 20- ft.-radius; in total, the daily accumulated ambercaps from this ability can deal a number of 1d4s of both fire damage and bludgeoning damage equal to twice your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. You may freely distribute the damage caused and portion the ambercaps as you see fit. The minimum damage of an ambercap is 1d4 fire and 1d4 bludgeoning damage.
For example, an 8th level sapper with an Intelligence score of 14 can prepare one ambercap that deals 8d4 fire and 8d4 bludgeoning damage, two that deal 4d4 fire and 4d4 bludgeoning damage, etc. Ambercaps are more volatile than ambersticks and become immediately inert after completing a long rest or 24 hours after creation, whichever happens first. You treat ambercaps as ambersticks for all other intents and purposes, including saving throw DCs, range, etc. You may prepare ambercaps and place them strategically without immediately blowing them up. You may trigger ambercaps you have set as a bonus action or as a reaction for as long as you can see them.
Cave-in Master
Also at 7th level, you may spend a minute to properly prepare a tunnel or ceiling with ambercaps for collapse.
If the minimum damage caused exceeds the substance's damage threshold, a cave-in happens. A GM has the ultimate say regarding the extent of the cave-in, but usually, at least a 20-foot radius of terrain is affected.
Improved Ambersticks
Also at 7th level, you increase the damage you cause when throwing your eternal amberstick and regular ambersticks, but not ambercaps, by +1d6 fire and +1d6 bludgeoning damage.
Amberstick Phase
Starting at 10th level, when using an Attack action to throw your eternal amberstick, it immediately rematerializes in your hand after exploding. You must have a free hand for the eternal amberstick to rematerialize in it. If your hands are full, instead rematerializes at your feet. Additionally, your eternal amberstick may explode a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus before needing to recharge.
Sapper Specialist
Beginning at 15th level, any explosions caused by ambercaps ignore any damage threshold and resistance to bludgeoning and fire damage. Additionally, you further increase the damage you cause when throwing your eternal amberstick and regular ambersticks, but not ambercaps, by +1d6 fire and +1d6 bludgeoning damage.
Shake the Earth
At 18th level, you learn to create a truly devastating shock with your explosives. By either using 8 amber sticks or the equivalent of 10 1d4-portions worth of ambercaps in one devastating throw at a strategicallyplaced locale, you can generate a seismic tremor at a point within range of your explosives. The tremor lasts 1 minute and the ground in a 100-foot circle entered on the point shakes and affects creatures and structures in contact with the ground in that area. The ground in the area becomes difficultterrain.Eachcreatureonthe ground that is concentrating must make a Constitution saving throw against your amberstick save DC. On a failed save, the creature's concentration is broken. Additionally, each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.
This feature can have additional effects depending on the terrain in the area, as determined by the GM.
Fissures. Fissures open throughout the affected area at the start of your next turn after you activate the detonation. A total of 2d6 such fissures open in locations chosen by the GM. Each is 1d10 x 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide, and extends from one edge of the affected area to the opposite side. A creature standing on a spot where a fissure opens must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your amberstick save DC or fall in. A creature that successfully saves moves with the fissure's edge as it opens. A fissure that opens beneath a structure causes it to automatically collapse (see below).
Structures. The tremor deals 50 bludgeoning damage to any structure in contact with the ground in the area when you activate the detonation and at the start of each of your turns until the duration ends.
If a structure drops to 0 hit points, it collapses and potentially damages nearby creatures. A creature within half the distance of a structure's height must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning damage, is knocked prone, and is buried in the rubble, requiring a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check as an action to escape. The GM can adjust the DC higher or lower, depending on the nature of the rubble. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and doesn't fall prone or become buried.

Kitchen fail of the week: So I have recently taken a slight interest in the Paleo lifestyle. Not completely, don't worry all my sweet-toothed, carb loving friends, I am not abandoning you. I could never follow this type of lifestyle… well, actually I'm sure I could if I really tried… but I am a firm believer in bread. And cheese. And I will never give it up, NEVER I TELL YOU! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE! Sorry… I get a little carried away when I talk about any type of bread free diet. I'll try to be a little less dramatic about the whole thing from here on out, promise. Anyway, despite my unhealthy addiction to carbohydrates, over the last few months I have really been trying to cut down, and I have been really trying to cut out any and all processed foods. So far, I'd say that I have cut down more than 60% of processed foods, and 100% of artificial sweeteners. Including aspartame (I'll miss you diet Coke!) and Splenda based products (my coffee is a little bit bitter but I have been substituting with honey). Anyway, since I am a huge foodie and love learning about different types of diets and lifestyles, I decided to try some Paleo recipes. Since I am focused on losing about 10 pounds by Christmas time (although I'm not sure how focused I will be considering the amount of baking I'll be doing… how can I not try my treats?), and since I wasn't gifted with the "eat anything you want and you won't gain a pound" kind of body, and I'm absolutely not a "oh my god I love the gym because it just totally helps me blow off steam and I really love sweating" kind of girl, but more of a "I'd rather eat my own vomit then spend another damn second on that treadmill and oh my god I can't breath I think I'm dying from this 10 minute jog" kind of girl, a weight loss of any kind, whether it be small or big, will require effort, and change.
So let's talk Paleo. As I understand it, the Paleo lifestyle is based on eating wholesome, contemporary foods from the food groups of hunter-gatherer societies during the Paleolithic era. The time period would be around 2.6 million years ago up until the agricultural revolution, which dated about 10,000 years ago. Paelo dos include: fresh meats (preferable grass-fed or free-range), fish, seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, and healthy oils such as olive or coconut oil, flax seed avocado, etc. Paleo don'ts include ceral grains, legumes, refined sugars, processed foods, and dairy (FYI I got all this info from thepealeodiet[dot]com). One thing I know I could NEVER give up is dairy. Starches? maybe. If I really had to. If I really made a commitment. I've done it before and I could probably do it again. But dairy? I will die before I give up cheese! You will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands before I give it up! I'm being dramatic again. Anyway. So I decided to try a Paleo pizza recipe last Friday. It uses coconut milk, coconut flour, eggs, garlic and a few spices for the crust. Blend in a processor and then spread in a pizza pan and bake. It was a disaster. Needless to say the recipe was not meant for me. I offered my dad seconds, and he refused, saying he was full (if you know my dad you will know that he does not refuse seconds) and my boyfriend flat out said that I will be a single woman if I ever though of making him a fake pizza crust again… Oh well, at least I tried.
Anyway, on to the good stuff. I am a Christmas freak. A big one. I'm one of those crazy people who start planning for Christmas before Halloween is over, and start decorating the first week of November. This means, of course, that I start my Christmas baking just as early as I decorate my house. My first recipe for this year is S'more Blondies. I love S'mores – the chocolate, marshmallows and the ewey-gooeyness, it reminds me of campfires and summer. So, when I stumbled on this recipe I just HAD to make it.
I got this recipe from motherthyme[dot]com. These things a frigging good. I Had one while it was still warm annnnnnd I almost died and went to heaven. I found it very difficult to cut these things though, the marshmallow wasn't having any of it.
Chewy S'more Blondies
makes 12 to 16 blondies (or more if you make them smaller, I managed to get 32 small blondies out of the batch)
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 tsp baking poeder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 oz. milk chocolate squares, roughly chopped
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Baking Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
2. Mix flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix until combined and set aside.
3. Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add vanilla and then eggs, one at a time. Mix until combined. Gradually add flour mixture until combined.
4. Spread the blondie mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes on centre rack.
5. In a small bowl toss marshmallows and chocolate and then sprinkle on top of the blondies. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
One Christmas bake down…ten to go? I'm going to try a new nanaimo recipe next week so stay tuned for that. Happy baking!

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or internationally known as Safety Data Sheet (SDS) (also known as PSDS, Product Safety Data Sheet) is an important component of product stewardship and workplace safety. It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.
SDSs and its translation are a widely used system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. SDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product. These data sheets can be found anywhere where chemicals are being used.
There is also a duty to properly label substances on the basis of physico-chemical, health and/or environmental risk. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard black diagonal cross on an orange background, used to denote a harmful substance.
An SDS for a substance is not primarily intended for use by the general consumer, focusing instead on the hazards of working with the material in an occupational setting.
In some jurisdictions the SDS is required to state the chemical's risks, safety, and effect on the environment.
It is important to use an SDS specific to both country and supplier, as the same product (e.g. paints sold under identical brand names by the same company) can have different formulations in different countries. The formulation and hazard of a product using a generic name (e.g. sugar soap) may vary between manufacturers in the same country.
Due to technicality and specifications of MSDS, the translation of such documents requires utmost knowledge of source and target languages, engineering skills and specialization in the given subject.
Localization, LLC Translation Services is a full service translation company providing comprehensive translation, localization and multimedia services in over 50 languages.
With offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Cleveland, Ohio, we at Localization, LLC Translation Services are much honored to provide language services to our clients in Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Washington D.C., San-Francisco, London, Moscow and Paris to name a few.

The Navigation Solution for Android Aviators
You are not logged in.
Pages: 1
SV works fine on my tablets but not on my phones. I recently loaded it on my phone and after selecting 3D, I can't get past the Warning screen. I can see a great looking (darkened) 3D image with airspeed and altitude tapes off to the side of the white warning screen, and I can scroll the warning text up and down and can read it all ("...verify the accuracy of the data"), but I don't see any "Agree" button or any other means to acknowledge the warning. Android Back doesn't work. The Android Menu doesn't work. None of the keys inside Naviator work (everything is greyed out except the white Warning screen). Unfortunately, the only way to get the warning screen off is to go Android Home, then to the task manager and shut down Naviator. This is on two different phones, a Samsung, and my current LG LGL34C, running 4.4. Also, on Settings, 3D Settings, I have unchecked everything, and tried High Detail Water and Anti-Aliasing, no help.
I see about the same problem with my droid razr m; but in my case I see just a very small top sliver of the "agree" button and I can press on it and get it to continue.
I would think it is something that Mike can correct by making the splash screen smaller or scaled to the current screen size.
Thanks Rolla, I checked my Samsung and while not visible, touching on the extreme lower right produces an "Agree". The LG is still a no go however.
Mike, I know it's been requested before, but can't we just "agree" once, the first time the software is run after installation? Once airborne, the cockpit is not the place to have to read and acknowledge legalese. Perhaps adding the Synthetic warning inside the main warning would suffice. As it is now, having to acknowledge every time 3D is selected is a CYA overkill.
Re: 3.5.6
Thank you Mike!

Modern Waste:
- Electronic Waste Recycling
- Hard Drive Destruction
- Data Wiping
- Document Shredding
- Battery & Paper Recycling
- Light Bulb/Lamp Recycling
NAID AAA Certification
What is NAID?
NAID is the acronym for the National Association of Information Destruction. This international trade organization enforces the highest standard of ethics for document and information destruction companies. Their mission is to promote personnel and procedural security and govern its members, their standards, and their ethics.
What Does Their AAA-Certification Mean?
Being a member of NAID doesn't always mean AAA-certification. NAID members that are AAA-Certified serve to limit your liability in regard to compliance with Federal Guidelines. NAID's AAA-Certification means your vendor has gone through the vetting process that ensures the understanding of legalities and compliance regulations associated with information destruction.
NAID is the only recognized source for security and ethics standards in the document destruction industry. Companies involved in the destruction of documents are eligible for membership, but more importantly, for certification. The difference between your vendor's level of involvement with the association should be an important criteria in your decision making process.
The differences between having simply the membership and both the membership and certification are significant, so when evaluating potential vendors for your document destruction programs make sure you know who has what. Those who choose to just be members and not certified are included in the supplier directory and have access to the information NAID publishes regarding security guidelines. However, the AAA-certified member proves to customers that their service operates in strict accordance with regulatory standards and their compliance is randomly, and routinely, evaluated.
The criteria to becoming AAA-NAID-certified involves:
- Conducting background investigations prior to hiring employees
- Conducting county-by-county criminal record searches where the employee has resided for the previous seven (7) years
- Requiring new employees to sign confidentiality agreements
- Requiring drivers to meet all applicable licensing requirements
- Drug screening conducted at the time of hiring and at random
- Securing customer materials from unauthorized access before destruction
- Transporting customer materials properly during the time from customer custody to destruction vehicle to prevent any breaches of information
- Maintaining written policies and procedures for drivers and assisting employees
- Requiring employees to wear uniforms and picture ID badges
- Ensuring all customer materials remain secured and in the control and custody of the NAID member agent until destroyed by shredding equipment
- Requiring all fleet vehicles meet the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and have lockable cabs and cargo area
- Requiring all paper shredded meets original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications of: continuous shred, indefinite length, and 5/8″ cutter width or less
- Conducting comprehensive third party background checks on owners and officers of companies
Furthermore, NAID certification requires an initial third party to conduct random operational audits, as well as ongoing audits to ensure compliance with all security guidelines and procedures. The NAID vendors without AAA-certification are not subject to any of these requirements.
SERI R2:2013 Certification
What is SERI?
Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the responsible reuse, repair, and recycling of electronic products.
SERI is the housing-body for the R2 Standard and works with a coalition of partners to raise awareness of electronics repair and recycling issues around the world.
What does R2 Certification mean?
The Responsible Recycling Standard
The R2:2013 Standard is the leading global certification standard for the electronics reuse and recycling industry. The requirements in the R2 Standard are designed to protect people, protect the environment, protect data, and preserve resources. This is achieved through rigorous annual 3rd-party audits of R2 certified facilities, and through transparency and accountability throughout the entire reuse/recycling chain of used electronic products.
R2:2013 was developed through an open and transparent multi-stakeholder process and consists of the following ten provisions:
Provision 1: Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System
An environmental, health and safety management system (EHSMS) is the foundation upon which the R2 requirements rest. The EHSMS is the mechanism to continuously improve environmental, and health and safety performance.
Provision 2: Reuse, Recover Hierarchy of Responsible Management Strategies
The R2 Standard requires a written policy for managing used and end-of life electronic equipment based on a Hierarchy of Reuse, Materials Recovery and Energy Recovery or Land Disposal, which is only allowed "if no reuse or recycling options are viable". The hierarchy is implemented in the operational procedures of each organization.
Provision 3: Legal Requirements
Identifying and complying with environmental, health & safety, data security and import/export legal requirements is an important provision of the R2 standard. This provision outlines your requirements to conform to the R2 Standard and includes sample reporting documents and links to relevant resources.
Provision 4: On-site Environmental, Health, and Safety
The goal of Provision 4 is to protect the recycler's workforce, public health, and the environment. This includes identifying and controlling EH&S hazards, having the technical capability to process material and maintaining good housekeeping standards. These requirements should be incorporated with developing your Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Management System required in Provision 1.
Provision 5: Focus Materials
R2:2013 requires the responsible management of Focus Materials throughout the recycling chain. Throughout the R2:2013 standard, various requirements are imposed on the need for qualification or "due diligence" of downstream vendors.
Provision 6: Reusable Equipment and Components
Reuse is the preferred management strategy for electronic devices under the R2 Standard. The intent of Provision 6 is to maximize the quality of repair and reuse, as well as to responsibly manage scrap components that do not have value on the reuse market. Unfortunately, Provision 6 is also the area of the R2 Standard that recyclers struggle with the most.
Provision 7: Tracking Throughput
Provision 7 of the R2 Standard focuses on tracking throughput, including ways to track recyclable material, record keeping requirements, and other best-practices.
Provision 8: Data Destruction
Data security and destruction is increasingly important. Provision 8 outlines data destruction requirements for R2 refurbishers and recyclers, and this module outlines guidance on types of data-bearing materials, destruction and sanitization methods, and best-practices.
Provision 9: Storage
Properly storing used electronics is essential for compliance to the R2 Standard. This module outlines strategies for safely and securely storing both focus materials, and reusable equipment and components.
Provision 10: Security
This provision describes examples of security procedures for different aspects of an electronics repair or recycling facility, including template documents and examples.
ISO 14001: 2015 Certification
What is ISO?
The ISO story began in 1946 when delegates from 25 countries met at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London and decided to create a new international organization 'to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards'. On 23 February 1947 the new organization, ISO, officially began operations.
Today they have members from 161 countries and 780 technical committees and subcommittees to take care of standards development. More than 135 people work full time for ISO's Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.
Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
What are Standards?
International Standards make things work. They give world-class specifications for products, services and systems, to ensure quality, safety and efficiency. They are instrumental in facilitating international trade.
ISO has published 22136 International Standards and related documents, covering almost every industry, from technology, to food safety, to agriculture and healthcare. ISO International Standards impact everyone, everywhere.
What does ISO 14001 Certification Mean?
ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
ISO 14001:2015 helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization's environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:
- enhancement of environmental performance;
- fulfilment of compliance obligations;
- achievement of environmental objectives.
ISO 14001:2015 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. ISO 14001:2015 does not state specific environmental performance criteria.
ISO 14001:2015 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001:2015, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
OHSAS 18001: 2007 Certification
What is OHSAS?
Organizations worldwide recognize the need to control and improve health and safety performance and do so with occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). However, before 1999 there was an increase of national standards and proprietary certification schemes to choose from. This caused confusion and fragmentation in the market and undermined the credibility of individual schemes.
Recognizing this deficit, an international collaboration called the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) Project Group was formed to create a single unified approach. The Group comprised representatives from national standards bodies, academic bodies, accreditation bodies, certification bodies and occupational safety and health institutions, with the UK's national standards body, BSI Group, providing the secretariat.
Drawing on the best of existing standards and schemes, the OHSAS Project Group published the OHSAS 18000 Series in 1999. The Series consisted of two specifications: 18001 provided requirements for an OHS management system and 18002 gave implementation guidelines. As of 2005, around 16,000 organizations in more than 80 countries were using the OHSAS 18001 specification. By 2009 more than 54,000 certificates had been issued in 116 countries to OHSAS or equivalent OHSMS standards
What does OHSAS 18001 Certification Mean?
OHSAS 18001, Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, (officially BS OHSAS 18001) is an internationally applied British Standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It exists to help all kinds of organizations put in place demonstrably sound occupational health and safety performance. It is a widely recognized and popular occupational health and safety management system.
Its supporters claim that an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that helps organizations to:
- Identify and control health and safety risks
- Reduce the potential for accidents
- Aid legal compliance
- Improve overall performance
The OHSAS 18000 standards provide organizations with the elements of an effective safety management system which can be integrated with other management systems and help organizations achieve better occupational health and safety performance and economic objectives.
BS OHSAS 18001 specifies requirements for an OH&S management system to help an organization develop and implement a policy and objectives, which take into account legal requirements and information about OH&S risks. It applies to all types and sizes of organizations and accommodates diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions.

Why oh why didn't I blow off work to see them??

I can think of a number of reasons:
1. You owe your sister $100 and the insurance company $200 and neither of them would be very happy to find you at a fabulous concert when you were supposed to be earning enough money to pay them both.
2. Certain faculty members frown on letting you carry forward incompletes indefinitely.
3. Walmart locks its employees in at night to make sure the stocking gets done, so you couldn't have left, even if you wanted to.
4. Mr. President! You spend 1/4 of your time on vacation. If you have to spend one Saturday night coming up with someone to replace John Snow at the Treasury Department, I don't really think that's too big a sacrifice.

30 May HDB Resale 4-Room @ 403C Fernvale Lane
All HDB flats have a bomb shelter and most home owners find it positioned in an ultra awkward position whereby they'll have headaches with its visuals. Fret not, here is one of the ideas which you may consider to have your bomb shelter well-hidden up.
If your bomb shelter is near at the door entrance just like seen in this project, you may consider having shoe cabinets or a display cabinet built next to or around it, & have a feature wall covering your bomb shelter up. For this project, we have a shoe cabinet nearer to the door, followed by a tic-tac door covering the bomb shelter, & a display cabinet that comes with storage after the bomb shelter.
This whole in-built cabinet doesn't eat up too much space at the entrance area, instead it lengthens the entrance walkway together with open concept kitchen introduced.
Open concept kitchen is what most modern humans would like to have in their dream homes. We made this possible for our home owner by incorporating the bar counter with the bottom kitchen cabinet in this project. This low height bar counter is able to accomodate up to 4 pax for dining.
Tall units were designed to have storages for bulky cooking appliances, & here we have for the owner an open shelve for the steamer/rice cooker, & mini shelvings internally for cups/tins of daily uses.
Dark colored wood grains may seem too heavy for certain people, by having it blending with the classic white color, the whole interior of the kitchen looks sleek & modern, & the wood grains are deemed to be of an emphasis instead.
If you're looking for ideas of walk-in wardrobes but you prefer to keep your storages enclosed, you may opt for a designed casement wardrobe, & make this your walk-in wardrobe by catering a bedroom for it. For this project, our owners had hacked off the existing bedroom wall between the Master Bedroom & Bedroom 2 to have the rooms combined.
Interior designs nowadays enables a HDB flat to look like a condominium. For the master toliet, we'd build a full height feature wall using tiles finished to create 2 deep open shelves for placement of shower items. Frames of the shower screens were hidden within the tiles to disallow exposure of the shower screen support.
The vanity cabinet comes as a pair with the mirror cabinet, whereby storage of slim items may be placed behind the mirror for daily uses. The depth of the mirror cabinet are able to be customised tailored to your needs.
Despite having the same colored tiles all in one bathroom, we'd designed this bathroom's tile colors to be of different shades to create a tone difference. As such, a full length mirror was placed from the top of the vanity to the bottom of the box-up of this bathroom. This lengthens the height of the bathroom, leaving a glistening look at the vanity area at the same time.

An XML schema, commonly known as an XML Schema Definition (XSD), formally describes what a given XML document can contain, in the same way that a database schema describes the data that can be contained in a database (i.e. table structure, data types, constraints etc.). The XML schema defines the shape, or structure, of an XML document, along with rules for data content and semantics such as what fields an element can contain, which sub elements it can contain and how many items can be present. It can also describe the type and values that can be placed into each element or attribute. The XML data constraints are called facets and include rules such as min and max length.

This could be the last week before the playoffs start in your league, which means all hands on deck. Unless you are in a dynasty league, if you are making moves on the waiver wire it's because you are looking for someone to play, so making the right move means everything. Here is my rundown of the waiver wire featured players after Week 12:
J.D. McKissic – RB, Seattle Seahawks
At some point in time the Seahawks have to realize that Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls are absolutely, terrible right? I expected to see the flashy young J.D. McKissic more involved in the run game this past week, only to have to endure carry after carry from Lacy (who went nowhere with the opportunities). Meanwhile McKissic, who is averaging 4.5 YPC, continues to be used as a third down back almost exclusively. I am hoping the Seahawks see the light and make this change but there is no guarantee, which means most of McKissic's value is still in the pass catching game.
Verdict: PPR must add, Flier for standard leagues
Zay Jones – WR, Buffalo Bills
You aren't going to love putting Jones in your lineup in a meaningful matchup, but there is no denying that he and Tyrod Taylor are finding their groove a bit. Jones caught three passes this last Sunday, which is a bit underwhelming, but one of them was a TD and he was targeted a total of 10 times. He now 24 targets in the last three games and has found the end zone twice. You assume the Bills will be put in a position to be throwing more than they like against the Pats this coming week, so Jones could be racking up the targets once again.
Verdict: Add him in all formats
Brett Hundley – QB, Green Bay Packers
I'm not one to overreact to one game so I am not advocating for a widespread pick up of Hundley, but he has to be on your radar if you need a QB to stream. Josh McCown and Case Keenum are better options, but both are also owned in almost 40% of leagues and Hundley is owned in 5%. Hundley hit his stride on Sunday against the tough Steelers with three TD passes while completing 65% of his passes. If he did that against Pittsburgh, you have to be hopeful that he can throw a couple TDs against the Tampa Bay this week.
Verdict: Add him if you need a streamer and can't get Keenum or McCown
Rod Smith – RB, Dallas Cowboys
As of right now the only guy in the Dallas backfield doing anything that resembles productivity is Rod Smith. Last Thursday Smith took as many carries as Alfred Morris, with 9, and ended up with 41 yards and a rushing TD. Not only that, but he is the primary pass catching back for Dallas as well and this game with the Redskins could be a real shootout. I think McKissic is more talented than Smith, but right now I trust Smith to get more opportunities and would have to roll with him out of the two backs.
Verdict: Add him if you need a RB, but hope you don't have to play him
O.J. Howard – TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It seems as though Howard has officially overtaken Cameron Brate as the number one TE in Tampa Bay, especially with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. For the second week in a row Howard caught three passes for 52 yards. While he didn't find the end zone in this game, we know he has the ability to score. He has been overshadowed by his fellow rookie TE Evan Engram, but let's not forget how talented he is and how much of a play maker he can be. If he gets targets coming his way he can make something happen with it.
Verdict: Grab him and feel fairly comfortable with playing him
Cordarrelle Patterson – WR, Oakland Raiders
Stop me if you've heard this before, but we could see a bit of a coming out party for Patterson this week. Things are lining up for a big breakout as Michael Crabtree is suspended and Amari Cooper is going to be in concussion protocol and may be unavailable. With the receiving corp depleted this past week it was Patterson who led the Raiders with three catches and 72 yards. While others in Oakland may be more polished route runners and just better overall wide receivers, no one left on the receiving corp has the play making ability of Patterson and that's why if I am adding him. It's a gamble, but it could payoff huge in a dream matchup with the Giants.
Verdict: High Risk/High Reward play of the week
Ricky Seals-Jones – TE, Arizona Cardinals
I think it's time to start paying a little attention to him. The rookie TE from Arizona came out of nowhere in Week 11 to catch two TD. He then followed it up in Week 12 with 4 catches, 72 yards and a TD. Clearly Blainie Gabbert has found something he likes in Seals-Jones, and he's becoming a real player at a pretty weak position. Seals-Jones was a WR in college who the Cardinals converted to TE, so we know he can catch the ball and he was at one time a pretty highly touted WR. The matchup this week with the Rams isn't great, but Seals-Jones makes an interesting add if you need a TE.
Verdict: Add him based on upside, but don't play him this week unless you really have to
Dede Westbrook – WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
We've been hearing about the upside of Westbrook, who was a preseason standout for the Jaguars and finally we witnessed a little taste of it on the field this last week. Westbrook was targeted a team leading 10 times and finished with six catches for 41 yards. He wasn't able to turn in any big plays, but he clearly was a favorite target of Blake Bortles. This could have been because Marquise Lee was getting the Patrick Peterson treatment, though. Westbrook does have nice upside, but I am unsure how much of it we see on display the remainder of this season.
Verdict: Dynasty league must add, standard league flier if you're desperate

Gotta Love Shopping
I fell in love with the giant, blue pillow and will let the kids use it while silent reading. My son cannot stop petting it :)
I am not 100% sure what I am going to do with the ribbon and the fabric yet...hmmm. Well I guess I have a few months to decide.
I might use the fabric to make triangle pendants to hang on the wall. I will have to find some more though. Oh darn I have to shop some more :P
When I got home I decided I needed some new labels for my duotang buckets and thought I would make some to number the hooks. If you know me you are probably thinking....Shouldn't you be working on your action research paper? Yup I should but this was funner :) Oh yeah, I also made labels for my washroom sign out area. Last year I just wrote it on the white board but was annoyed that I had to keep rewriting it everyday because the students would erase part of it or they would want to write Girls and Boys with the markers. This year I will have permanent labels that I won't have to rewrite ! ! !
If you want these labels for your classroom just click on the picture to get them.
I am off to work on my action research paper now so have a great day.
13 comments:
I am using the same colors in my room this year! Your little stash of goodies looks like mine from yesterday, too. I look forward to seeing your class photos! Thanks for sharing your labels and ideas. :)ReplyDelete
thanks so much for this!!!! My room will be in the same colors!!!!!!!!!!! I won't ask for anything because I am grateful that I found these!!! I wish that I knew how to do this for myself! Thanks again!ReplyDelete
How wonderful! I was just sitting down to my trusty laptop to make new labels ... in these exact colors!!!!! Thank you so much for saving me some time. Now I'll have to repay at some point! I am loving these colors together. They go so well with the Rockin' theme I have. You now have a new follower!ReplyDelete
I have now had requests for labels saying CAFE, Daily 5, and Bible. If you want any of these or any others just send me an email and they will be yours:)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I love the bright colors of your classroom!ReplyDelete
Is there anything specific you want me to mention on the invitation?
I'm loving the colors of your class! I also love that ribbon you picked up... way too cute!ReplyDelete

I thought of your post when I was at Walmart the other day. Your post inspired me to hit Dollarama (yet again this year) and while I was at the mall I went to Walmart. Thought you might want to know that they have patterned DUCT TAPE to match the things you bought. I know how hard it can be to find things here in the great white north!ReplyDeleteReplies
Are you serious... I have to go out tonight so I will stop at Walmart and try and find it. I hope they have it. Thanks for the info:)Delete
Thank you , thank you, thank you! I went to Walmart tonight and found it all. I bought 2 tonight and will save more for later when I decide what I want to do with it.Delete
