The following info will assist you to fully grasp your various treatment choices allowing an individual to have the maximum chance of an ideal outcome.
Let's have a look at the various drug and alcohol rehab programs in Colorado Springs, Colorado options that correlate with the circumstances of the individual looking for rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Colorado Springs, AB. is often a treatment possibility ideal for many who require medical intervention during treatment or individuals with substantial drug abuse histories. People can develop physical and mental dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a short time period, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Colorado Springs is among the most reliable rehab choice in virtually all instances. Due to dependence and addiction, women and men will frequently struggle to recover using the minimal services offered by outpatient rehab facilities in Colorado Springs, Colorado where alcohol and drugs continue to be easily obtainable when they leave the outpatient program. In addition, men and women in rehab who take part in outpatient rehabilitation instead of inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Colorado Springs continue to be prone to damaging influences and conditions which might compromise their recovery process. If a person lives with an abusive partner or continues to maintain relationships which involve abusing drugs, any rehabilitation activities in outpatient rehabilitation are done in vain. This is why in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Colorado Springs, AB. will generate more fruitful outcomes that will prove lasting in contrast to an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center where benefits could be very minimal and acute.
In Colorado Springs there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment. Short-term is a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Colorado Springs, Colorado is significantly more in depth and rehabilitation lasts 3 to 6 months on average. It is really an ideal environment for clients since it is a safe and secure drug free environment where they can recover both physically and mentally without interruptions. Preferably, women and men will continue in the long-term in-patient drug treatment facility in Colorado Springs for the maximum stretch of time allowed, to enable them to handle anything that might jeopardize their abstinence once they leave treatment. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can take 2-3 weeks alone, the three to six months in long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation in Colorado Springs is going to be time spent well and a lot more efficient than short-term centers.

Five benefits of meditation
Meditation is an ancient practice that has many benefits. Consistent meditation practice can boost your health and quality of life. Many types of yoga incorporate meditation to some degree, so anyone reading this is probably already aware of many of the benefits of the practice. Keep reading for a more in-depth analysis of how meditation can improve your own well-being.
Helps to Beat Stress
Stress and tension are major contributors to psychosomatic ailments. Constant stress can wreak havoc on your mind and body. Meditation is a relaxing activity that reduces the production of the stress hormone cortisol. It can help you meet the demands of everyday life in a calm and composed manner.
Boosts Self-Confidence
Regular meditation practice can help improve your mood. This can boost your self-confidence and enable you to perform at your best. Meditation helps to overcome negative emotions and feelings. You are sure to become more confident and assured with consistent practice.
Improves Concentration
Some forms of meditation involve concentrating on a mantra or an image. Meditators learn to ignore passing thoughts and focus their mind single-pointedly on the object of concentration. Thus, this practice can help you concentrate better in daily life. If your attention strays, you will learn to bring it back and focus again on the job at hand.
Boosts Creativity
Regular meditation develops the right brain, which improves the practitioner's creative potential. You will learn to think out of the box and come up with innovative solutions and answers to everyday issues. A research study published in the journal Frontiers in Cognition reveals that meditation practice improved participants' ability to think creatively and generate fresh ideas. Meditation can also help to overcome creative blocks caused by repetitive thought patterns.
Enhances Productivity
Meditation can boost your productivity by improving your ability to perform tasks more quickly and competently. You will also use less physical and mental energy to accomplish your daily tasks. Not surprisingly, top companies like Google and Facebook encourage their employees to practice meditation, and even send them to training programs to learn the practice. You know your company has the well-being of its employees in mind if it places such an emphasis on meditation.
Meditation is easy to learn and practice, and costs almost nothing if you learn a technique from the Internet. Experiment with various meditation methods to select the right one for your mind and capacity, and persevere with the technique to fully experience the benefits.

"En Plein Air" at Studioli, Rome
On Saturday May 12th, Studioli will open again its space to host a group of artists invited to work on the theme of En Plein Air painting. The artists, Kerstin Brätsch, Enzo Cucchi, Stanislao di Giugno, Marino Melarangelo, Rochelle Feinstein, Gianni Politi, Max Renkel, Paulina Semkowicz & Myles Starr and Patricia Treib will work directly on the Studioli spaces.
"Rogues, cheats, pickpockets / bands of drunks and gluttons / scabby tobacconists, barbers, and other 'sordid' subjects". Thats how Salvator Rosa defined the favorite subjects by The Bamboccianti, the art movement active in the 17th century in the northern area of Rome that represented the Arcadian landscapes and the daily life of the slums of the city.
The rooms/garçonniere, the terrace, the little wood, the landscape of Tor di Quinto, the view over the Tevere river will be the scenography of this happening. The exhibition highlights the creative process, the artist's gestures, the working tools and the conceptual and visual adaptation to the place where the work is produced.
The works will be shown for one month at Studioli and can be visited upon request.
Studioli is an art project founded by Alessandro Cicoria and Valeria Giampietro in Rome inside an old quad of ivy-cloaked garçonnières by the Tiber River. Studioli is a space-sharing project where artists are invited to work and reinterpret the space, among smoked mirror surfaces, chromatic moquettes, boiseries and Magistretti furniture.
On the occasion of the exhibition we publish a conversation between Giorgio Orbi and Alessandro Cicoria.
Studioli, January 24th, 2018
Dear Giorgio,
During the exhibition Peonie I remember we thad a conversation about Ponte Milvio as an outpost and shelter for artists of the time, the Bamboccianti. Like street reporters, these painters of the '600 portrayed the life on the margins of society: guitti, beggars, barbers, raids and fistfights, parties and scenes of everyday life, Arcadian landscapes.
Today artists are still fascinated by these portraits. Pedestrians, lawyers from the city, street sweepers and beggars are perhaps seduced as well. These new Bambocci capture through photography everyday life scenes, buses quarrels, thefts, street workers, gypsies camping under a bridge. Nowdays, subjects once portrayed by the Bamboccianti are often self portrayed.
There is a lot of adventure in such visual revolution, I always run out of storage space on my phone and the memory is never enough.
Reflecting on this we invited at Studioli a group of painters free to imagine the history of our garçonnière, Ponte Milvio's life, the night raids in Chatenet cars, Dulcamara starlets, the rural landscape that can still be glimpsed from the Tiber.
Do you think somebody will paint the Mont Blanc of Mondi instead of appreciating its culinary art?
With En Plein Air painters we'll see if painting, always considered a meditative practice – in contrasts with the fast society we live in- can still tell us something. I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter,
Pordoi Pass, June 8th, 2018
Dear Alessandro,
regarding what you said about memory not being enough, recently during a conference some artists complained that the historicisation process of their work within the art world, despite the efforts of the publishing industry and its employees, is slow and ineffective.
Someone in the audience intervened by suggesting to better investigate the memory of their devices, or perhaps spend a weekend at Burning Man where the works of art are exhibited and burned.
Someone proposed to give Bergson's Matter and Memory a second read.
Today, we are all interested in immortality, not just the artists.
That's why a multitude of images are recorded every day.
The boundaries of meditative practices expanded through techniques that go beyond horizons – until recently considered unknown.
We practice yoga to the rhythm of heavy metal or climb a mountain to break a speed record. The company that sells journeys out of the Earth's atmosphere has sent a DJ into space. In terrestrial skies, the first rave party in the absence of gravity has been organised.
In a nutshell, it seems that even in space we'll not be bored too much, we'll just have to find another universe to preserve silence.
Did you know that when Hannibal crossed the Alps, along with the elephants, he carried art works? Unpublished works from the best artists of Carthage. Unfortunately they all went missing as it had happened for books of the Royal Library in Alexandria.
The real attraction of en plein air painting is experimentation on reality.
Painters left the studio to work outdoors, catching light, reflections, deception and enchantment of reality that could no longer be reproduced in the atelier.
In the last ten years the five historic palms of Piazza di Spagna were down to three.
There were also five in the first postcards of the square dating back to '900.
You could put rows of sandbags piled up under the palm trees to make a trench, along with a canvas, a stool and colors.
A bivouac for artists who, while reproducing reality at close range, can also look over it. Let's first historicize the palms of the 20th century.
EN PLEN AIR is an experiment that doesn't fear the judgments of the artificial resurrection of a practice which has been averted by time. Painting has started indoors, inside caves.
According to the archaeologists, the oldest one dates back to 64,000 years ago.
Animals, geometries, daily life scenes such as hunting, the human body, hands.
Those were the subjects and with time passing of time, things have 't changed much.
It is true, as you say, the system goes fast, but it is normal, we are living in a time where we are having a lot of fun with robots. When the painters will manage to paint in the absence of gravity, reality will rise again unexpectedly, like those artists who, thank to the vagaries of the market, have the opportunity to emerge in the limelight in their third age.
At that moment reality will be the talk of the town as when rumor has it, that the old owner of restaurant of the neighborhood has not yielded to the mediocre charm of the square dish, despite being run now by the son, the one who plucks his eyebrows.
Studing Bamboccianti you could find a certain trace, a strong connection with the attention that our contemporaneity prefers to establish with certain subjects; I am sure that this choice draws a timeline with the visual moods of the Bamboccianti and the original spirit that guides the Studioli exhibitions.
Today prostitutes are called escorts and "scooteroni" are the horses.
Who will disturb the quiet of a hidden nutria among the reeds to make a portrait?
Who will study the stickers on helmets or on scooters, the new hieroglyphs that tell the secret life of the young generation of Ponte Milvio?
Van Laer's tobacconist is still there, but today he also sells marijuana with a low percentage of THC.
But this is not the point.
Instead, gathering an outdoor painting session in Rome today is very adventurous and enterprising. At least five large tall trees have fallen in 2017 alone.
Whatever may be said, Rome is a city always on the move and no one seems to like being in the same place.
Not even the trees.
En Plein Air
13 May–18 June 2018
Opening Saturday 12 May 2o18, 5–9pm
Studioli | Viale di Tor di Quinto 39, Roma

From his youth and then in the period of higher education, Riva develops a strong interest in painting that leaves in 1977 to devote himself exclusively to sculpture.The sensuality of the sculptures by Riva is perfectly successful, he represent a different type of artist, who still sees his work in the classical tradition and art historian perspective and the relevance over future generation. Ugo Riva uses allegories as a figurative mode to represent a complex often classical alliterated state of mind.

We all know how great PB is, but it's always exciting when others recognize it too, right? This week Pepperdine (Pierce's Alma Mater) released their first ever 40 under 40 Alumni list and of course Pierce made the cut! Check out what they had to say below:
At Pepperdine, purpose, service, and leadership is more than a mission statement. It's a way of life, reflected in the impact and achievements of more than 100,000 extraordinary alumni around the globe. This year's inaugural 40 under 40 alumni represent just a sample of these incredible stories. Selected from hundreds of nominations, these young entrepreneurs, executives, doctors, lawyers, educators, and public servants are innovating in their fields, inspiring their communities, and leading by example as the next generation of Pepperdine Waves.
Pierce Brown (10′)
What does being one of Pepperdine's 40 under 40 honorees mean to you?
It's an honor, though I feel a bit silly. There are so many people in the Pepperdine community who make real, tangible differences in people's lives. I just make up things for a living. But hey, maybe in the future I can help other Pepperdine students realize that life in the creative arts can have just as real an impact as other more tangible professions.
Describe your success:
In 2014 I released a novel with Random House called Red Rising. It managed to sneak onto the New York Times Bestsellers list at number sixteen. In 2015 its sequel, Golden Son, landed at number six. This year, the final book in the trilogy, Morning Star, debuted at number one. My novels have been translated into 33 languages and a film is in development with Universal Studios. I also have graphic novels and several television programs and films in development.
How does Pepperdine play into your success?
The real triumph of Pepperdine, as far as I'm concerned, belongs to the Great Books Colloquium, particularly to Dr. Don Marshall—one of the giants who shaped my brain back when it was just a lumpy, arrogant, SAT-obsessed ball of clay. He never tried to teach me what to think, but he always endeavored to teach me how to think. Pepperdine created a foundation for me, one where I was afforded independence through things like the Heidelberg study abroad program but, at the same time, had a generous and warm community to fall back on.
Who inspires you and why?
My mother and father because they never preach, always teach, and after 36 years of marriage have found success in the world without compromising themselves in the process.
What's next for you? What's your five year outlook? What's your ten year plan?
It's the engineers, scientists, businessmen, humanitarians who really change this world. But each of their journeys begins with a dream. I want to make them dream of worlds better and worse and different than this one. Whether it's through books, TV, film, or comics, that's what I want my life to be about—waking the wild imagination in others.
What's your secret sauce?
Bob Dylan and whiskey
What is one of your hobbies?
Krav Maga.
What is your favorite quote?
Do. Or do not. There is no try. –Yoda

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." – St. Augustine
When I was in middle-school, my English teacher had tenaciously handed me a paperback of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Due to her persistence, I found myself captivated by European folklore and mythology. Quickly, I moved onto novels like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, which is, by far, one of my favorite pieces of literature. The reason why I enjoyed reading this novel so much was because I admired the character, Elizabeth Bennet, the intelligent, quick-witted and independent protagonist, who went up against societal norms. During college, one of the classes that I had taken was a study of William Shakespeare and his work. Even though I was not looking forward to this class, I ended-up discovering a fondness for the English playwright and dramatist.
My love for the English culture came from books. The adventures that these books have taken me, sparked my curiosity for the world. In a way, it is where I get my itch for travel. With no surprise, the first country I anxiously wanted to step foot in was England. So, when I traveled to London a year ago, I was on a mission to take in all that I can. Out of all the places that I got to see while I was out there, my favorite memory was the time I had visited the White Cliffs in Dover. From the cliffs, you can actually see French soil, which is only 20 miles away. It was at this moment that I felt a sense of gratitude.
If you are looking to take a trip out to London, here's a glimpse of what my day-to-day were along with some notable recommendations and highlights:
Travel Details
Airline: Norwegian Air
- Has many flights and is typically the least expensive
- Lands into London-Gatwick (LGW), not London-Heathrow (LHW)
Travel Time: Direct (non-stop) / 10h 15m
Travel Period: Mid-Oct to Early Nov
Duration: 4 – 5 days
Housing: AirBnB
- Stayed in a chic studio flat in Kensington for roughly $150 USD per night
- For a 3 – 5 star hotel, rates ranged from $200 – $300 USD per night
Transportation: Train / Uber / Walking
- To use the underground train, purchase an Oyster Card at a station
- Uber was typically around $8 – $10 USD per ride
- Navigate the city, including the train lines with Google Maps
Weather: About 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit / Partly cloudy / 14 days of rain out of the month
Day 1 : Arrival | Check-In | Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant | Piccadilly Circus
- Dine at the Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant in Bayswater. They also have (3) other locations across London.
- Check-out Piccadilly Circus, which is known for its shopping and dining. It reminds me a bit of Times Square in New York City.
Day 2 : Windsor Castle | St. Paul's Cathedral | The Globe Theater | Millennium Bridge | Chinatown
- Purchase a round-trip ticket at London Paddington to get yourself to and from Windsor. The estimated travel time is roughly 3 hours there and back.
- Take a tour of Windsor Castle, where the Queen spends her weekends. Tickets are about $30 USD per adult.
- If you are passionate for the theater, take a tour of The Globe Theater, which is the "home" of William Shakespeare.
- Tour tickets are about $23 USD per adult. Also, you can reserve tickets online to see certain productions running that season.
- Chinatown in London is close to my other favorites that are in New York City and San Francisco. Unlike the Chinatown we have in Los Angeles, these cities really does create a communal environment for the Chinese community.
Day 3 : Stonehenge | The Roman Bathe
- Use Golden Tours for a whole-day trip up to Stonehenge and the Roman Baths.
- A ticket per adult is $107 USD, where a shuttle bus and a tour guide will pick you up at one of it's two stations. The ticket includes entrance to both destinations, and an exploration of its surroundings.
Day 4 : White Cliffs on Dover in Kent | 9 3/4 Station at King's Cross
- Purchase a round trip train ticket at King's Cross, and travel to Dover, Kent, eastward of London. The estimated travel time is 2 hours there and back.
- For the Harry Potter fanatics, stand in line to take a picture of the 9 3/4 Station display, and if you want some HP gear, there is a shop right next to it.
Day 5 : The English Rose Cafe and Tea Shop | Buckingham Palace | Westminster Abbey | London Eye | Tower Bridge | Kensington Palace and Garden
- Want a true English breakfast? Step into The English Rose Cafe and Tea Shop, located a couple of blocks from Buckingham Palace.
- If you are not taking a tour of Buckingham Palace, then catch the Marching of the Guards instead.
- Not at all religious, but I do love the architecture of religious buildings. So, if you are the same way, take a tour of Westminster Abbey, where it is prominently known in London.
- Please note that Big Ben is under construction until 2021, so you can take a glimpse of the London Eye that is opposite of its view instead.
- Take a stroll through Kensington Palace and Garden, which I thought was refreshingly beautiful.

Available Options For A New Trial Camera
I recommend an external memory benefit. Internal memory carries some people in because they believe they will be accumulating cash by not needing to purchase external memory passes.
If you go that path, you have to reduce the entire system will have to be gotten rid. Between a memory card, you can presently enjoy an extra and swap it out. No under time from the competition cam.
Another benefit of external memory is that if you ever want to update, you can just purchase a new card with a greater capability. To upgrade subjective consciousness, you would more than likely just wind up buying a brand-new cam, as the cost would be similar.
With all that said, do not worry about high-speed SD cards either. These are recommended for high-end regular digital video cameras. They do not work well with Scout electronic cameras. Among the items your path cam will do to help prolong battery is to write to the fantasy card slower.
You perpetually need to make an effort to achieve your financial investment. Regretfully, personalities as a whole show to not be healthy every day. When lastly choose the best game cam, you must require accepting that it might be needed.
You are only performing to have the sense to decrease the opportunity. Like all over in life, extinction is working to stop an recognized robber. Cable video cutters operate. In advanced cases, cable connections just slide off trees that have been cut down! It has become the community.
You might be able to execute them a bit bigger as a little a deterrent. You get better images from sliding lower if you feel that is too serious, thieves unusually discover cams. Even if they do recognize it, it will be challenging to reach.
The security boxes and anti-theft cables do serve as an unplanned deterrent. Even if people end up not living able to take the cam, unusual of the wicked will finish them. The boxes and cables attach extra value to the video camera too, so you should consider that into your choice.
Seeing Screens
You will discover some devices with built-in LCD screens. These are good since they will tell you how many pictures have been used and indeed let you observe the forms out in the field.
The state is not running to be as high as if you took them the hometown of see on your network. You can use a point of allowing an idea. You would not have to get all the fashion house and after that decide you likely had the electric camera in the different place. This will have a negative influence on battery life, although. It may justify it to you.
If you needed to be many authorities, you could even get a digital image audience for the are hunting rifles semi automatic.
If you don't have a viewing screen on your game cam, you can put the SD into a regular digital camera so you can still see the images from the field.
If you perform the greatest of this last suggestion, do not erase images or alter the SD card in any way from the surface electronic camera. It gets a little technical for me. Though you might overwrite the file structure, the system requires having the ability to support images to that SD card.

Parks of Princeton
Cross-country Skiing
The closest place to camp near Princeton is Washington Crossing State Park along the Delaware River in Titusville, NJ.
The Institute for Advanced Study Woods and Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge form a 300-acre tract of deciduous forest bounded on the east side by the wet woodlands and marsh of the Refuge. Though crisscrossed by a network of trails and a sewer right-of-way, the Woods include a small area of virgin forest and harbor an unusual number of bird species, particularly during the songbird migration seasons. For this reason, the Woods are described in many birding guides and hiking books, and birders from all over the country come to visit.

One of the biggest international junior events is the White House tournament held annually in the Netherlands.
This year's ran from March 30 through April 4. Twenty-six teams from 21 countries competed.
The USA-1 under-26 team for the World Youth Teams Championships in August was originally scheduled to play. But the proximity of the Dutch tournament to the Spring Nationals in Dallas and the time spent away from studies was considered excessive. This was a pity because the event in the Netherlands would have been great experience for the players. Europeans have far more exposure to various bidding systems and, in particular, oddball multicolored two-bids.
The Dutch tournament started with a one-session team game in which anyone could compete, including nonplaying captains, coaches, officials and bridge journalists. Then the serious business began with a three-day, 17-round Swiss Teams consisting of 10-board matches.
The top four teams qualified for 42-board semifinals, with a 42-board final to follow. These four were, in order, Norway, Israel, Germany A and Denmark (which won a split tie with Poland under-20).
In the semifinals, Germany A (Marie Eggeling, Raffael Braun, Paul Grunke and Vemund Vikjord) defeated Israel (Eliran Argelazi, Bar Tarnovski, Amir Ezion, Ami Zamir, Oren Toledano and Lior Urman) by 112 international match points to 84.
The second semi between Denmark (Majka Bilde, Peter Jepsen, Dennis Bilde, Rasmus Jepsen, Signe Buus Thomsen and Emil Buus Thomsen) and Norway (Christian Bakke, Kristoffer Hegge, Harald Eide and Kristian B. Ellingsen) was much closer.
Each team had the lead several times, but with two boards remaining, Denmark led by 9 imps. The diagramed deal was Board 41.
At both tables, South opened one spade and West made a three-club weak jump overcall. For Denmark, Rasmus Jepsen (North) passed, so three clubs became the final contract.
The defense was perfect for down two, with the defenders taking three spades, a spade overruff, the diamond ace and the club queen.
In the given auction, Hegge (North) risked a negative double over three clubs, Bakke (South) rebid three no-trump, and Hegge judged well not to convert to four hearts.
If West had steered away from a club lead (or led a high club and shifted to a diamond), the defenders could have triumphed. But West chose fourth-highest from his longest and strongest.
Declarer won with dummy's ten, played a heart to his queen and returned the heart ten, covering with dummy's king when West discarded a club. East won with his ace and switched to the spade ten. South took this trick, ran the spades (discarding hearts from the dummy) and led his diamond ten, covered by West's jack and dummy's ace.
Dummy retained the nine-eight of hearts and the queen-six of diamonds. East had the jack-seven of hearts and the king-nine of diamonds.
Declarer led dummy's heart nine. East won, but could do no better than to return a heart to endplay the dummy. East took the last two tricks in diamonds, but South had made his contract.
Minus 100 and plus 600 gave Norway 11 imps on the board. And when the last deal was flat, Norway moved into the final by 99 imps to 97.

Sunday, 29 January 2017 07:19 AM
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced support on Sunday for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem but mentioned no time frame, after a Republican activist accused Israel of pressing the Trump administration to delay the pledged step.
In an interview with Israel's Haaretz newspaper, Marc Zell, head of the Republicans Overseas Israel branch, said new U.S. President Donald Trump was "proceeding cautiously because of concerns raised by Israeli officials".
Trump's team spoke often during the presidential campaign about shifting the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Israel's self-proclaimed capital and a holy city at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
But a week ago, Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer, lowered expectations of an imminent announcement about an embassy move that would anger the Arab world and possibly touch off violence.
Palestinian officials said the embassy's relocation would kill off any prospects for peace. The Palestinians want East Jerusalem - which Israel captured in a 1967 war and annexed in a move not recognised internationally - for the capital of a state they seek in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Israeli officials said last Sunday the embassy issue was barely discussed in a 30-minute telephone call between Trump and Netanyahu, who are to meet in Washington early next month.
Netanyahu addressed the matter in general terms in public remarks to his cabinet on Sunday that were described by Israeli media as a response to Zell's accusation of foot-dragging.
"I want to take the opportunity to make it unequivocally clear that our position has always been, and remains so now and at all times, that the U.S. embassy should be here, in Jerusalem," Netanyahu said, without directly mentioning Zell.
Currently, no country has its embassy in Jerusalem, the Israeli foreign ministry said. Costa Rica and El Salvador did until a few years ago, but they are now in Tel Aviv.
"Jerusalem is Israel's capital and it is right and proper that all of the foreign embassies, and not only the American embassy, move here. I believe that in time, most of them will indeed come to Jerusalem," Netanyahu told the cabinet.
The international community says Jerusalem's final status should be determined via direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians - talks that collapsed in 2014.
Israeli officials have said they do not want a U.S. embassy move rushed and political commentators have noted that its relocation would damage the stronger relations Israel has been quietly building with the Sunni Muslim world. (Editing by Mark Heinrich)

- Masai asked the public to assist officers at the Central police station after their iron structures were burnt down by a huge inferno on February 23
- But the Interior ministry was not amused by his move and sent him home
After a fire razed police houses to the ground at the Central police station in Nairobi on February 23, Pius Masai rushed to the station to assess the situation.
Nothing had been salvaged at all, and about 80 police officers lost their properties.

If you would like to check out the Kinsa app before buying a Kinsa device, we would love for you to do so!
You will first need to make sure that your phone, and the operating system running on your phone, are compatible by checking this article: Which phones are compatible with Kinsa?
If your phone is compatible, great! Go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to find and install the "Kinsa Smart Thermometer" app.
Note that the app is not available in all countries, although we want it to be! If you get an error regarding downloading due to your region, keep trying periodically. We will continue to work on expanding the number of approved countries as time goes on.
To give you an idea of how the app works, let's create a profile for yourself or a child and manually add a temperature reading.
- With the Kinsa app open, select the profiles option and then create a profile.
- Add a name, select a birthday, select a gender and tap Done or SAVE.
- Tap on the new profile.
- Tap the green new entry (+) button.
- Tap "Temperature" and then tap "1033" for a 103.3o F fever (Android users need to tap on "--.-" to get the keypad to appear). In the app Settings, you can change oF to oC.
- Save the temperature reading.
- For iOS, tap the temperature entry you created to expand the fever guidance provided. For Android, tap the "i" next to the entry. Kinsa offers this real-time guidance based on age and fever reading, so you know when you should call a doctor and what to do next.
When a fever is detected by the thermometer, the app will automatically prompt to add symptoms related to the fever. You can check this list manually by creating an entry for Symptoms.
You can also manually add entries to the profile for a Note or Photo you may want to share with a doctor treating the fever symptoms. Once a Diagnosis is provided by a doctor, you can add that as well.
All entries are time-stamped within each profile, with the most recent entry at the top.
If you'd like to see the Kinsa in action, these instructional videos will give you an idea of how the app works once a Kinsa thermometer has been set up.
If you decide this is the thermometer for you (and we think you will!), see your purchase options by accessing Where can I purchase Kinsa?

President Donald Trump has again exercised his executive power to dismiss criminal convictions by pardoning boxer Jack Johnson more than 70 years after his death.
He hinted at the potential move in a recent tweet crediting Sylvester Stallone for lobbying on behalf of the boxing legend's family.
The actor was on hand at the White House when Trump signed the order on Thursday.
Unlike the president's previous pardons, this was widely seen as justice finally served for a man convicted under discriminatory Jim Crow legislation and widely pilloried for relationships he had with white women.

Maintaining a full-time career as a musician has as much to do with talent as it does tenacity. Fortunately for Brian Stoltz, he's got it covered in both areas. The New Orleans-born singer-songwriter/ guitarist/producer has built an enviable resume in a more-than-three-decade career. In addition to his recent contribution on the 2003 Grammy-nominated Telarc compilation Preachin' the Blues: The Music of Mississippi Fred McDowell, to his latest project with George Porter, Jr. and Russell Batiste, Brian's credits include lengthy stints with New Orleans luminaries the Neville Brothers and the funky Meters, as well as sessions and tours with Bob Dylan, Zachary Richard, Dr. John, and Edie Brickell, to name a few.
Throughout Brian's career, the Fender Stratocaster has been at the forefront of his funky sound.
"The Strat has always been my main guitar. I mean, I've got tons of guitars, but I always revolve back to a Fender. There are times when I go out on fly dates and can only take one instrument, and I always take my Strat. There's something about it that's completely different. The guitar's got its own unique tone that's neutral and you can just do so many things with it. Fenders have a responsiveness, they're alive and they've got a soul and they breathe. Other guitars, to me, are just pieces of wood with strings on 'em. With a Strat, it really gets down to what's coming out of the player."
So how'd you score your first Strat?
I remember first seeing an ad in a magazine with a picture of a Stratocaster. The ad said "Jimi Hendrix plays Fender Stratocasters and I remember thinking, "Man, I gotta have one of them!" Being a Hendrix freak from the get-go, that was part of it right there. I used to go into this music store by my house and they had a Strat hanging on the wall and I started saving up my money. That was a '67, '68 and it was $369. I remember I used to go in and ask the guy a million questions about it and he used to get aggravated with me and wouldn't let me play it. He said, "You ain't got the money for that guitar." And so I remember saving up the money and walking in there and plunking the money down on the counter and saying, "Give me that guitar!"
Over the years, you've paid your dues playing in and around the city—from pop/rock bands in Laplace to Top 40/disco gigs in Metairie's Fat City. How'd you take it to the next level?
I was playing on Bourbon Street with a sax player named Gary Brown over at the 544 Club around 1981. During that period, Rita Coolidge used to come in whenever she was in town and would bring Art and Aaron Neville. We never really became friends but we'd acknowledge each other and they were always cool. After I left 544 club—right after the Nevilles put out Fiyo on the Bayou on A&M—they were looking to put a band together. Art remembered me from Bourbon Street and went looking for me. When he went to the 544 club and I wasn't there anymore, he started walking around asking people, "Do y'all remember that little white dude that used to play with Gary Brown?" Coincidently, he went into the Absinthe Bar and there was a friend of mine there that I'd just talked to that morning and given my new number. So Art got the number and called. I did an audition and that day they told me I had the job. I think I did one more rehearsal and we did a gig at Tipitina's, did one or two dates in Texas the following week, and while we were out Bill Graham called for us to start the Rolling Stones Tattoo You tour. It all kind of went fast after that. So, I started playing with the Neville Brothers in September of '81 and that lasted nine years until January of 1990.
After a half-dozen records with the Brothers, including the celebrated Yellow Moon, you called it quits.
It was just time to move on. There was a lot of political crap going on. I got to the point where I felt I'd outgrown the situation and there was no room for growth. During that period, I started going to New York and recording and writing with Jon Carin who played keyboards in a later version of Pink Floyd. We had a project called Big Deep, we had management, several major labels and a publisher giving us money to do demos. So it appeared that it was going to go somewhere. We made a record for RCA but in the meantime, there were a lot of changes within the company, and RCA slashed about ten bands and we were one of them. So the record never came out. It was a good record, though.
You landed some great gigs and recording sessions after that.
While I was recording with that band, I was out in L.A. with Zachary Richard and Dr. John was on the session. Dr. John needed somebody to fill in for a few dates so I started doing a few shows with him. In the meantime, the whole RCA thing fell apart, so I continued to work with him for about a year. When that ended, I floated for a little while and Art Neville called me to do the funky Meters. That was a strange period because I didn't know what was going to happen. I had played with the cream of the crop: the Neville Brothers and Dr. John! To me, the only major act left in New Orleans was the Meters and I thought I'd never get that gig. So right when I was thinking that, Art called and said that Leo had quit. So I jumped on that, because I was really happy to be working with Art again.
You also did some sessions with Bob Dylan in New Orleans.
I've been a Dylan fan since I was a kid. During the Neville Brothers period around '88, we threw a party for the Grateful Dead who were in town playing a gig. We rented a fishing camp out on Lake Pontchartrain and it was a big seafood blast. At the time, we'd been working on the Yellow Moon record with Daniel Lanois producing and he came up to me at the party and said, "Let me ask you a question: if you had the opportunity to produce Stevie Ray Vaughan or Bob Dylan, which would you choose?" And I said, "You really have to think about that? Of course, Bob Dylan." He laughed and said he was doing this Dylan project. And I said, "If there's anyway I can be on the record…" I guess that was his way of asking me. It was Oh Mercy and Dan made a brilliant record. I was grateful to be a part of it.
I'm enjoying reading Dylan's new book Chronicles Volume One and although the book is only five chapters, one whole chapter is on his time in New Orleans doing that record, so I get a lot of mentions!
What are you currently working on?
George, Russell and I put together PBS—Porter, Batiste, and Stoltz—which is a full-time project. We've got a good booking agency, we're working on a record that'll come out right after the first of the year, and we start touring December 3.
I also produced some tracks on a Christmas record that's out, Christmas Gumbo. Greg Barnhill and Will Robinson, some Nashville songwriter friends, came up with the concept. I produced a track for Sonny Landreth featuring the Dixie Cups called "Gotta Get You Under My Tree," and the title track for Art Neville. I also co-wrote "Pimp My Sleigh" with Houseman of Galactic and "Shakana Santa Shake It" for Bo Dollis & the Wild Magnolias with Bonerama. "On Santa's Way Home," written for Marc Broussard, just got picked up by his label Island/Def Jam as a single! It was weird working on this record because I never thought I'd be writing Christmas songs in July in 95-degree heat!
But to me, the highlight of my career is getting my own record, East of Rampart Street, out. I've worked so long to get to that point. It's been out over a year, and people are still finding out about it. It still has a life to it and I'm about to fuel up for a second leg of promoting it with some distribution in Europe and Japan. And the next record is in process. I've recorded almost everything myself at this point. It's too early to tell where it's going to go, I'm just laying a basis for it.
So, we never did get around to finding out who is your favorite Strat player?
Hendrix for sure, even to this day. I don't really listen to that many guitar players. Hendrix kind of ruined me. He set a precedent that just couldn't be topped. I'm more of a song type of person; I listen to singer-songwriters. I'm never much into the gunslingers. Guitar was always more of an accompanying instrument. I've always felt the connection between Jimi Hendrix and New Orleans because he covered Earl King's "Come On" on Electric Ladyland. A lot of people call him this psychedelic rock guitar player but I never saw him that way at all. I saw him as a funk, R&B guitar player.
And I'm not ashamed that I've picked up a lot from him. When I was growing up as a kid, Hendrix was my favorite, but I was a Meters fan, too. I had this fantasy of what if it'd be like if Hendrix had the Meters as a rhythm section? Or what if the Meters had Hendrix as a guitar player? Now that I play with the funky Meters, I explore that territory. Meters and Leo Nocentelli fans might think that's blasphemous or obscene, but it's the truth!

Used car prices are up, an unusual occurrence that has been a boon to dealers but a drag on consumers — particularly lower income earners.
Blame a shortage of late-model examples on the aftermath of the Great Recession, the Japanese earthquake's effect on the supply chain, manufacturers cutting back on fleet sales, higher gas prices … and Nancy Pelosi.
"The 'cash for clunkers' program of two years ago sent 677,000 older vehicles to the junkyards, as their owners cashed in on a federal subsidy for buying more fuel-efficient cars," reminds the St. Louis Post –Dispatch.
That's because they were evil. Pelosi & Co. declared them enemies of the planet that had to be destroyed on the altar of global warming.
So obsessive were Democrats that NHTSA actually advised car dealers to replace clunkers' motor oil with a sodium silicate solution — then run it through the engine to ruin it so that scrap dealers couldn't resell parts. This further penalized the used parts industry during an economic recession.
Your tax dollars at work.

You make it sound like a theme park
While we were traveling down in Richmond and DC, Mel and I stopped at 2 different Wegmans locations. Neither of us have a store near us at the moment. The closest one to me is near Philadelphia.. so ridiculous. We both went to school at RIT up in Rochester, NY where Wegmans originated. Thank you Danny Wegman. Since it's opening in Rochester it has expanded along a lot of the east coast, but jumped over lower New York! What the heck?!
So sad.
Being the completely obsessed Wegmans shoppers that we are we had to stop at all the Wegmans we passed even though one of them was at 7am. No matter, Wegmans serves breakfast of course, so we got our egg white sandwiches and coffee and perused the aisles for treasures, such as Cheerwine- the best cherry soda ever that cannot be found up north.
I miss school and Wegmans and my friends that lived with me and next door. Ugh. College was great.
Anyone else completely and utterly obsessed with Wegmans? If you've never been you should seek one out and go immediately.

SO, I have never even heard of it, but it sounds glorious. ;) Anything that reminds us of college good times and memories is perfection, though, right? I miss those days too.ReplyDelete
I don't think we have those out west because I have never heard of them until now. I would take a trip back east just to see one now. Especially if it's better than a theme park.ReplyDelete
ha, i've never heard of this place before. sounds magical. ;)ReplyDelete

Never heard of Wegmans?!? You make me wanna drive to Philly just to find out what all the fuss is about. haha.ReplyDelete

i have never heard of this... probably because i'm in canada... but it looks pretty awesome hahaReplyDelete

I've never heard of Wegmans. :D It seems like I've always lived in an inconvenient place to go to one (first Vermont, now Florida, ahaha). I love grocery stores that offer hard-to-find goods, so I'm always happy when I discover a store like that in this area. :3ReplyDelete
I've never heard of Cheerwine, either! I love cherry soda, and Cheerwine's website indicates that there are a couple of restaurants here that offer it, so I'm totally going to go try it.
And Honey Crisp apples are the best!
Now I REALLY want to go.ReplyDelete

We don't have Wegmans in California, but those Honey crisp apples are the best...Yummy so,so good!! I miss my college days so much.ReplyDelete

Oh man. As a fellow RIT graduate, I totally feel your pain. I tried so hard to get their food photography internship, haha. And the guy who taught Foods of the World was the head chef for Wegman's. They need to send some love downstate.ReplyDelete
I have never heard of this place before but it looks pretty awesome! I will now have to go there some day :DReplyDelete
I have never heard of this place...We don't have any around here.. Or maybe they do, but it's hidden??? Hmmm...ReplyDelete
Nice pics!!!
♥Janette, the Jongleur
Cheerwine - I gotta search me out some of that! I suppose I also need to search out a Wegman's near me. I doubt I'm that lucky.ReplyDelete
I love DC, glad you got to go visit. If I were single, I'd totally want to live in DC. Not because I'm political in any sort of way, but I love that it's a great city, but not overwhelming like New York.
I love the photographs. Super awesome. xo, rvReplyDelete
i've been in a wegman's once, when i was in the dc area & i popped in super late for some snacks for the road. i have to say, even if i was half asleep & groggy, it was a pretty awesome experience.ReplyDelete
i wish there was one closer to me!
Gaaaah LOVE Wegmans!! We don't have them in Pittsburgh, but they are up in Erie where my husband is from. But let me tell you about a place BETTER than Wegmans. Giant Eagle MARKET DISTRICT. If you are ever in Pittsburgh, you MUST go here. It is the best grocery store that has ever ever ever existed!! :)ReplyDelete

I live right near a Wegmans. Everyone in my family sort of despises it just because of it's location. I remember visiting my sister in North Carolina and being OBSESSED with Kroger, which is their Wegmans.. haha.ReplyDelete
Wegman's? When I visit Richmond I'll have to look for one of those-- never been.ReplyDelete
Shenandoah was incredible. The day we went was rainy, so we were lucky to sneak in a visit to High Top. I'll have to try the others along Skyline Drive. It was so beautiful and the elevation is so cool-- considering in Florida we have NONE. :)
mmmm...Cheerywine sounds delicious.
Aww. I'm in college right now, and you're reminding me that I really need to enjoy this time as much as I possibly can!ReplyDelete
You're also making me think that I need to track down one of those wegman stores...
i love these photos, so simple but evocative! aw, university days! where does the time go?!ReplyDelete
KAtie x
We don't have them in SA! What a pity. That cherry cola looks DELICIOUS!ReplyDelete
Much love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
omg this picture reminds me of my childhood! I was born in Rochester and Wegmans is the only place that my mom shopped and got medication. She still has a few of her old medicine bottles that are labeled wegmans ;) Also, my mom graduated from RIT!ReplyDelete

We are trying to connect to manage server port for weblogic server but are getting the below issue.
Test connection failed. Please ensure you are providing correct Weblogic JMS Admin host and port. Error Details : While trying to lookup 'weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime' didn't find subcontext 'management'. Resolved 'weblogic'
The same connection for admin port is working fine. We tried to place few libraries and restarted the agent but have got a different error now.
Any idea what all libraries need to be added for the weblogic JMS connection to work for manage server port.
Thank you.
Please configure connection by providing admin server host and port details.
Not sure why you are trying with managed server details?
Thanks for the reply. I would need manage server port as the JMS module for the queues is targeted to manage server. Any idea how I can get around this, please let me know( We will not be targeting the JMS modules and JMS server to admin server).
Though you configure admin server and port in connection you can browse Queues which are targeted to Managed server. No need to configure connection with managed server and port.
This is true. The connector points to the admin server details.
However, after getting the connector activated, I was unable to attach in the integration to a queue on a managed server:
If you have success, please let me know.
