Petition Drive Launched to Oppose JCP&L's Rate Hike Request
When Superstorm Sandy blew through the Garden State it took out electricity to most New Jersey residents for an average of 3 to 10 days. However, over 1,000 Shore area residents aren't buying Jersey Central Power and Light's company line that the storm was unprecedented and they couldn't have prevented outages of that magnitude.
Opposition is growing to the JCP&L's proposal to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to increase its rates to recover the millions of dollars it spent to repair storm damages. Monmouth County Assemblywomen Amy Handlin and Caroline Casagrande has even launched a petition drive to call on the BPU to hold the line on an increase until a full examination is conducted on what JCP&L has spent on infrastructure upgrades in New Jersey verses the profits that its made over the years.
"We have very specific allegations from the New Jersey Rate Council that JCP&L has earned too much profit, according to Casagrande. In other words, they have been sending excess profits to their parent company in Ohio for about six years now instead of investing in the infrastructure of New Jersey."
Casagrande says they've collected 1,300 signatures so far and are hoping to collect more to present it to the BPU during a public hearing that will take place in Freehold on April 24th.
"So I would hope that the Board of Public Utilities does their job, represents the people, asks the hard questions, uses those brilliant forensic accountants and really takes some time to really protect the citizens of New Jersey from being just another ATM."
The petition can be signed at: www.tinyurl.com/norateincrease.

The fifteenth of May, 2010, I graduated with a Master of Professional Writing from the University of Oklahoma. The next day I took off in an 18-wheeler with my fiancé and was pretty much off the grid without internet. I'll try to fill the gap, starting with commencement itself.
I'm not one to preen in the mirror and obsess over outfits, but it took me a good hour the night before commencement to choose what to wear. Not because I needed to find the perfect little dress to wear under my gown (like anyone can see what you're wearing anyway) but because I had to find a way to hide my lightsaber.
Yeah, that's right. Lightsaber.
The week before commencement, one of my friends pulled me aside at a party and said, "Dude, have you heard about the flash mob at graduation?"
"No, I haven't."
"Well… you should go buy a lightsaber."
"Oh hell yes."
Toys R Us had two pretty awesome ones. One was a foot long, a couple inches across, and spring loaded. The other was two feet long, not spring loaded, smaller around, lighter, and had better sound effects. Naturally I bought one of each. What's the point of having a lightsaber if there's no one to do battle with?
In the days preceding commencement, we all schemed and plotted and laughed and then eventually people started to chicken out. I saw the flash mob dwindling around me and I thought about backing out too. I'm shy by nature. I don't like people looking at me and I don't like feeling stupid and embarrassed. While normal people have nightmares of showing up to school naked, I was now having nightmares of being the only person to jump up and whip out a lightsaber during graduation. I texted my friend and fellow writer, Marisa. It went like this:
ME: Hmm… so I dunno if I'm going to do the lightsaber mob now since so many people are backing out.
MARISA: I know. I'm worried. But I'm going to bring it, I think, and see if anything happens. Ben is still in.
ME: Okay, so at least there would be three of us together…
MARISA: Like the three musketeers of bad ideas…
ME: EXACTLY like that.
MARISA: Let's make shirts!
ME: With stick figures.
MARISA: And light sabers.
ME: Drawn by that xkcd.com guy.
MARISA: Baller.
I almost backed out again, right before leaving for the ceremony. I am such a wuss. I sighed and paced around and then my brother, ever helpful, offered advice. "Remember," he said. "Do or do not. There is no try."
That did it. There's nothing like a Star Wars quote to encourage mayhem.
I chose the lighter saber without the spring loaded action as my weapon of choice the day of commencement. That brings me back to how on earth you hide the lightsaber under the robe. My friend Ben had it easy because, of course, he's a dude. The saber just went in his pocket, no problem.
Marisa took another tactic. Her lightsaber was el cheapo and tiny, so she stuck it in the "pocket" (the little dangley bit that hangs off each sleeve of a Masters gown) of her sleeve. When professors and other students asked what the heck was weighing down her sleeve she deadpanned, "Oh, that's my Sprite bottle full of vodka." Everyone laughed. I'm disappointed she didn't just say, "Oh, that's my Lightsaber." It would have gotten the same reaction.
My solution was to wear a super-tight, skinny belt and tuck the saber inside it, strapped to my hip and tucked under my arm. It was less comfortable than I had hoped, but it worked. I carried my Master hood and hat to block the slight bulge until we lined up to process into the ceremony. As we filed out of the holding area someone shouted, "Robes open!" And that's when I saw the hoard of security officers.
I turned to Marisa, panicking. "Crap, crap, crap!"
"You're cool, dude. You're cool. Just keep walking."
Profanities and fear ran through my inner monologue and I unzipped my robe and held the right side open. I held the other side tight over the lightsaber and folded back just the edge. I prayed the guards would notice my awesome boots or just about anything else but the weapon.
I made it safely past security without being searched, reprimanded, or passing out, and then we got to our seats. There we were, the triumvirate, sitting in the very front row, directly in front of the podium. The Dean made his welcomes and thanks and then told everyone that the entire ceremony was streaming LIVE online and would be archived for posterity.
People spoke at length and after 45 minutes of me flipping out silently the outstanding senior got up to give her speech, which turned into a blur of noise in my head. But then she said, "For pretty much any event, you can find a Star Wars metaphor."
My heart started trying to fight its way out of my chest from the inside. I was shaking. I slid my saber onto my lap under the robe and clutched it for dear life. Onstage, the girl started talking about Luke Skywalker and how when he was our age he joined a rebellion. I looked left at Marisa and right at Ben. We were all in—sink or float.
"Take a chance. Take a risk. Now is that time in your life to take that chance and try something crazy." Here I am about to get a Masters degree with a lightsaber under my gown. I think that counts.
She concluded and said "May the Force be with you."
Wait, wait, wait…
And then from an iPhone a few rows back I hear John Williams's iconic and triumphant fanfare that opens the Star Wars theme. I whipped out my saber with a flick of my wrist and it gave a proud hum and I battled.
The crowd applauded, we sat down again, and I could breathe again. We walked across the stage and got our hoods and diploma covers and then we talked, heckled, and texted as the rest of the graduates did their thing. We were Masters. Jedi Masters.
After the ceremony I met my proud parents, gave them big hugs, took lots of photos, and introduced my family to my friends and professors. Someone asked, "Are you all going over to the journalism building for the reception?"
"Oh, heck no," I said. "We're going to see Iron Man 2."
To witness the epic battle, jump about 47 minutes in: http://gaylord.ou.edu/convocation/

The Huffington Post's Sam Stein detailed the "myth" that the Department of Justice paid $16 a piece for muffins at Hilton Hotels. As Stein explained, the muffin story originated from a Justice Department report on "wasteful or extravagant spending" that noted the Hilton Hotels muffins cost $16 each. However, Hilton Hotels explained "three days after the study was released" that while the hotel stated on invoices that $16 was for muffins, it really included "a full continental breakfast plus tax."
As Stein explained, the muffin tale had spread and "from Sept. 20 through Sept. 28, there were 223 stories that mentioned either "$16 muffins," "$16 per muffin," "sixteen dollar muffin" or "16 dollar muffin," according to a LexisNexis search." However, just 37 of the 223 stories " offered an explanation for the cost of the muffins or attempted to correct the record."
Check out Stein's breakdown of the muffin story here.

Class Index » (NEW) Galactic Mapping with Photoshop Tutorial Series (March 2017)
Hey gang! In this tutorial series, you will learn some advanced mapping skills for Photoshop and 3D modelling to create a stellar - no, an INTERSTELLAR - sci-fi map.
This tutorial is aimed at people who wish to learn commercial-grade sci-fi mapping techniques. Rather than running through every single minute of the mapping process - which took the better part of a day - the tutorial demonstrates just the key techniques and skills at each stage of the map-making process. We also discuss the importance of workflow for creating mapping assets (in this case, planets) that can be used for different purposes in game publishing. Thus, this tutorial is not just about the map... but tips it's hat to game publishing more broadly.
Of course, since this is a Photoshop tutorial, you will need access to Photoshop! However, it is possible to apply the techniques shown in this tutorial with open-source products such as GIMP. But for my workflow, I stick within the Adobe eco$ystem.
The tutorial starts with an overview of the map we are creating. It is a galactic-level map for the High-Space RPG by Patrick Taylor and myself.
This video then covers:
|Downloads (You can use this as a starting point for your own maps.)
|Download: Finished Map
|Download: Galactic Background
And now for something completely different!
In this long (sorry) lesson, we delve into creating 3D models of planets using the specialist tool "Grand Designs". If you do not need to create planets of your own, then you can skip this tutorial and just move on the the next.
This tutorial is just a little under 20min long. Why so long? It's because we go through an new software package - called Greand Design bit-by-bit. It's a lot of detail, but once you understand how it hangs together, you'll be knocking out planets of your own in just seconds.
Game Design Workflow
But first, we consider WHY you'd want to go to the extra trouble of making 3D planet renders, when you could just use symbol sets.
If you are creating an entire game product, the it's important that all the little details work together. Planets on the map need to look like planets in the books, or even animations. So starting with 3D planet mapping makes sense, as you can render out your worlds to meet many different artistic demands.
Creating a Collection of Planets
We then explore 'presets' in Grand Design, and load in some prepared planets for the High-Space RPG for SavageWorld. I've added a link to this preset file below. Download it and then add it to THIS folder on your computer:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Designer\Media\Presets
(Assuming you installed steam on your c: drive. If not, change the letter as needed.)
Creating a Living Planet
Next comes a discussion of many of the settings in this very, very feature laden application. Everything - from water to clouds to forests to cities - is tweaked.
Finally, we render out our planet for use on our galactic map.
I've rendered out and trimmed up all of the major planets in the High-Space setting as PNG files for use in your own maps. You can grab them in the links below. Yah!
And here's a sample video render of one of our planets. Yah!
Now it's time for something easy! Adding planets to your map!
Armed with a collection of planets (ideally, ones you made yourself), it's time to populate your galaxy!
This part of our tutorial is super simple and quite short. You will simply INSERT LINKED PNG files of your planets onto your map.

The Housewife
But even though this is something I want, like, expected, grew up with, it is so incredibly surreal sometimes. I feel like I don't even understand it or why my relationship with this role is so strained, paradoxical, even changeable from day to day. I love it, I hate it, I feel powerful, I feel powerless. It is really so strange. In fact, I am so deep IN this life, this housewifey life, that I can't even put my finger on it.
How can I want something but have a hard time with it. How can I be grateful for the opportunity, but still wish for other things? How can I know it is important and still feel so unimportant? How can I describe to YOU what I am even talking about! This is one strange ramble!
Maybe my own confusion goes back to my first paragraph. I would be the mom. Just the mom? What about the rest of me? Is that all I would be? Is being only a mom enough? Is there something wrong, even selfish about me if I am MORE than a mom? My head is spinning already.
But I think there is something to that.
I am a lucky gal. I was able to get a college degree. I have access to information, books, and good things in life. Not only that, I have the opportunity to have my partner mostly pay all the bills. It isn't easy financially but we make it happen. But when you talk about this with people there are so many "ready to boil over" emotions.
"Women who get to stay home with their kids are lucky."
"Women who work outside the home are selfish or obsessed with things."
Ouch. And ouch. I don't really know how true either of these statements are. So lets just talk about....me. Not sure I even understand that, but I can talk about me without insulting anybody else.
Why is this "being a housewife" thing so twisted and emotional when honestly, I can admit that it is a blessing to be able to do it?
What got me thinking about this all was my day today. Spring has sprung and so I am working on getting the garden in. Today I pulled weeds and planted some flowers and some vegetables.
And then I got to thinking about "Little House On The Prairie." Not the show but the books. I read them all when I was a kid, and recently we read the first one with our kids. I realize that it is probably a kind of idealized version of life looking back, but it seemed to me that their lives were very different than ours.
In the first book dad makes a living hunting and trapping and selling the skins. He also provides food for his family with the meat he kills. So technically he is the "bread winner" because he is the only person getting "paid" for "work."
But then little Laura describes what her mom does.
Mom, it turns out is no slouch either.
Mom has a garden. Mom smokes the meats. Mom cares for the animals. Mom makes maple syrup. Mom cooks all the meals, sews all the clothes, prepares food for the winter, teaches her children how to do everything right along with her and it looks like was even the one who taught them to read. Plus she gives birth in a cabin (I assume) and raises kids while she does all that. By the way, she MAKES the bread, not dad. And with wheat her husband threshed and she ground.
So "technically" mom is a housewife. But she is not "just" a housewife. Her role was integral to the family dynamic, even to their survival. It was just as important as her husbands. They needed each other AND the work of their children to make it happen, to eat, to survive the winter, to LIVE. I bet they NEVER had a conversation about how she was lazy because she stayed home with the kids.
And today I tried to plant a six cabbage plants and 12 flowers and you know what- it was difficult. In fact, I felt kind of lame.
The kids kept going towards the street. They bickered. The toddler spent the chilly afternoon peeing in her pants then walking around outside with no pants on. The baby ate grass and whimpered. My four year old DID pull weeds right along with me (but she wanted chocolate in exchange) so there were probably a few teaching moments. But truthfully, I spent too much time wondering what the hell the neighbors thought about me and my four feral kids and hoping nobody called 911 about a loose two year old.
I don't think that happened to Laura's mother in Little House.
Do you?
There I was, struggling to make a TINY contribution to my family (some food this summer and a little beauty in my front yard) and I felt like I could barely do it. And I KNOW that women way back then did a lot more with their day and they didn't even have electricity.
Did I mention that my house was (wait...IS!) a mess and I pulled something out of the freezer for dinner? (It was something that I made from scratch and froze. I only tell you that because that is how insecure I am about my contribution as a housewife. I wouldn't want you thinking that I am a housewife and I BOUGHT something frozen! GASP!)
The thing is, the more I thought about Laura's mother in the Little House books, the more I thought that she probably never questioned her importance. It was obvious that she worked and provided for her family.
And you know what else, (just making stuff up here) I also don't think she obsessed with motherhood the way we do. I bet she didn't feel guilty constantly about everything under the sun and I bet she was working so hard she didn't have time to obsess over every little thing her children did. I think that motherhood was part of life.
I bet she didn't worry about stretch marks, daycare, when the kids learned to read, reading books about child development, marriage, or orgasm. I bet she just lived every day, worked until she fell asleep, and then got up and did it again.
Every day.
And I bet she still tried to make some beauty out of it. She made her own clothes, she did her hair on special occasions, she cared for her children and she danced with her husband. And if they were lucky, they even got some happiness out of it.
It made me think a few things too. I should value what I do as a "homemaker." Motherhood does matter. Yes, I should do my best to keep my house in order and my kids happy, but I should also try to create some beauty in the world.
But more than that, it made me think that I probably waste far too much time on guilt. If the mom in Little House got to do creative things and find joy in them, why shouldn't I? I am never going to make an entire quilt by hand because I have blankets, but may it is really OK if I teach a birth class or write a blog post. Maybe that can be MY creativity and I don't need to feel like a bad housewife for spending some time doing something I like.
And maybe I won't feel guilty when I do make some money for my family. And maybe I will even feel like I contribute when I grow a garden or make fresh food or have a happy home. Maybe I will find joy in doing a few creative things for myself AND joy in being a housewife AND joy in the paid work I do outside of my home.
Maybe I will worry a little less and appreciate a little more. Maybe our home lives are less about politics and more about priorities, and people, and reality and even....happiness. (But not always happiness. Because part of me thinks that maybe they were happier because they weren't always expecting life to BE HAPPY. They knew that sometimes bad stuff was part of it.)
And maybe we should all remember that life was never so cut and dry as DAD=MAKE MONEY and MOM=STAY HOME. The role of mother/housewife/wife/provider has always been more complex, diverse, involved and beautiful than that.

What is this thing?
We have this plant growing at our house. It was here last year, but that big hail storm we had must have stopped it before it got this big.
It is big! It kind of looks like some type of Hosta to me. The leaves on it are huge, they kind of remind me of banana leaves.
This week I noticed a flower coming out. It's kind of a pinkish red color. If anyone knows what it is I'd love to find out.
This is what I decided to do with my planter this year. It's a sad looking picture. It's much prettier in person, but you'll have to trust me on that.
J bought me this hanging basket for my birthday. I liked it because it was unique. I love the black leaves. There are two kinds of white petunias in there too. I really like the ones with the dark centers. I hope I don't kill it 🙂
I planted these flowers around the porch. I don't know what they are, but I thought they were cute. They seem to be pretty hardy too. That's always a plus for me.
My butterfly bush is flowering! I just planted it this year too. I really hope it takes off. I haven't had any luck with perennials here at the new house, but this is only our second summer here.
Don't flowers just make you smile?

I am SO glad I am not the only one. Yes, I also forgot my mother's birthday this year. It was the day before we moved and I completely forgot. I am usually the one that reminds a sibling or two on such special occasions so you would have thought my sister (who knew I did not call because my mom was at her house) would have some simpathy but NO, she called me the day AFTER to tell me I forgot. Thanks for that one hermana.

You more than made up for it. Tell Cory thanks for calling me for my birthday even though he was 3 days late.

One year my whole family forgot my dad's birthday, including my mom. At the end of the day, he said "I just want you to know that today was my birthday." Oh the shame, the humiliation--needless to say, we never forgot again.

Essential Physical Therapy & Pilates opened its doors in 2007. Locally owned and operated, we started in a small studio that accommodated one physical therapist and Pilates mat classes of eight or more students, but with the addition of more equipment, therapists and instructors, we quickly out grew that space. Currently, we have three physical therapists, four Pilates instructors and an office manager operating out of a spacious 2,000 square foot facility, which offers the only comprehensively equipped Pilates studio in central Vermont.
Movement heals. So does laughter, compassion and guided, knowledgeable instruction. With comprehensive evaluations, skilled interventions and proper instruction, we'll get you moving again--with a smile on your face.
Provide the community with a safe, invigorating place to restore balance, strength and flexibility, all with respect for individual needs, compassion for their condition, and humor to get through the hard spots.

Paper type: Essay Pages: 2 (261 words)
Special education refers to the arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, accessible settings, and other interventions designed to address the needs of students with learning differences, mental health issues, physical and developmental disabilities, and giftedness. Provision of special education is inferred from two provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Article II, Section 17 provides that the state must give priority to education, while Article XIV, Section 1 guarantees that this education be accessible to all: appropriate steps must be taken.
School can be particularly challenging for children with special needs, including those with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD, who often experience poor academic performance, behavior problems, and difficulties with social interaction.
The situation can be further complicated by the fact that there is no typical, predictable classroom style common to all children with special needs, for that matter.
It can also be hard for parents to tell how much of any problem identified by a teacher falls into the normal range of a child development, for example how much is due to ADHD, and how much is due to coexisting problem such as learning disability, anxiety disorder, or disruptive behavior and others.
Add to this fact that the public school system here in the Philippines may not have Individualized Education Program (IEP) that will meet the needs of these special children.
In this study, the researchers will use different basic methods of assessing special education curriculum how it may be integrated into the mainstream or general education particularly in the Philippine public school system, without compromising quality of education.

B2B sales is a complex trade. Enterprise buyers tend to be way more aware than mass consumers and also have specific needs for each of their business problems. That is why, B2B buying cycles are long and it takes a lot of preparation and patience to close a deal. What does it take to ace this process of understanding your well informed customers and sell your product to them? In this blog, we explore the qualities that can take a sales executive to the next level. There's no magic recipe for this but few time tested tricks implemented strategically.
Sales representatives are the forerunners of a business enterprise. Customers in the B2B space look for products or partnerships that provide multiple solutions to different business problems. Therefore, sales representatives need to understand their products in an intimate way to better understand their buyers' various needs. Listed below are a 7 of the best tips and tricks to boost your B2B sales strategy.
1. Set realistic goals
Setting the right goals is important before setting out to achieve your sales targets. Sales targets are usually based on revenues or deal sizes. Irrespective of these criteria, it is important to keep in mind that realistically, goal setting needs to be formulated by analyzing past experiences and the direction that the organization needs to take. Evaluating past events and event ROI give the sales team a clear idea of the capabilities of sales teams and what deals to concentrate on to arrive at the preset sales goal.
2. Know your buyer's persona accurately
Knowing your customers and understanding their preferences and expectations is half the battle won. Profiling customers, however, can be a strenuous task considering that there are too many personas resulting in inconsistent targeting. To address this problem, it is important that marketers create a common buyer description that they can use to target a specific set of prospects. An accurate buyer persona lets the sales guy position the product accurately, addressing specific pain points.
3. Know the buyer's stage in the sales cycle
Customers in the B2B space are known to be more proactive about identifying their needs and arriving at solutions. The buyer's journey essentially has four stages – awareness, consideration, decision and account expansion. Each of these stages has a specific set of requirements that need to be addressed through relevant communications. A customer may be ready to buy at any point of time and sales reps need to be aware of how to lure customers into the sales cycle by sending out the right messages at the right time.
Read our earlier blog post 'Know your buyer's stage to sales advancement at B2B events', where we discuss in detail why evaluating a customer's buying potential based depends a lot on the stage of the buyer's cycle.
4. Make data the premise of your sales approach
In the age of big data and predictive analytics, sales and marketing are no longer qualitative communication focussed roles. Sales can be driven by understanding behavioral patterns of prospects or their past buying decisions. Sales teams, therefore, should and must collaborate with marketing and data insights teams to gather as much information as they can before approaching their leads. By utilizing business intelligence data, sales representatives can optimize meetings by identifying sales trends and accessing the most updated reports. For event marketers, analyzing business intelligent data can also highlight areas that are most likely to yield results and the areas that require most attention. Additionally, it can prove to be an effective tool while negotiating with vendors and clients.
5. Boost engagement through interactive conversations
Engaging customers can have many impacts on a sales process. As customers increasingly interact with brands and consume their messages, they tend to familiarize themselves with brand offerings and are more likely to buy from them. Social media engagement is one such method of boosting customer engagement. Social media is no longer a personal networking tool. It has turned into a forum for customers and brands to interact. Customers are constantly tweeting, retweeting, liking, commenting and checking-in on social media. Therefore, as sales reps, it is important to be receptive to these factors to get most out of events and sales meetings.
6. Reduce operational activities using event technologies and focus more on conversations
During large industry events, trade shows and conferences, sales reps often tend to spend multiple hours on scheduling meetings and coordinating their execution. Since the time is so limited at these events, they should focus on making the most of it through targeted conversations. Fortunately, the market is inundated with smart event technologies that can help sales teams reduce their manual scheduling efforts by almost 80%. A smart sales executive should know exactly which one to adopt.
7. Collaborate with Marketing
Marketing and sales have equally important roles to play in the process of lead generation. The alliance of marketing and sales can prove to be extremely important while obtaining qualified leads with both teams having overlapping functions. The communication strategies of the two teams need to align with each other because customers need to be eased into the buying process and not bombarded with sales pitches. Moreover, the marketing and sales departments need to arrive at a common process where the audience is seamlessly transitioned from marketing to sales.
A B2B sales professional definitely needs to be better armed than his/her B2C counterparts. This is what makes it all the more important to acquire skills that can accelerate the sales process and provide you with an edge over others. There's no magic recipe, but the above mentioned pointers can definitely make a difference to your sales process.

Thomson Scientific and Dialog have announced that the enhanced version of Derwent World Patents Index (DWPISM) will be available on the Dialog online service in quarter one, 2006. DWPI is a database of patent information and is provided by Thomson Scientific. The enhanced DWPI database (Files 350, 351, and 352 on Dialog) was designed to extend the content and functionality of the database and improve the ability of a searcher to find the patent records they need.
The file is being re-designed to accommodate the requirements of the International Patent Classification (IPC), Version 8, which enters into force January 1, 2006. As a result of the changes to the IPC classification, all DWPI records affected by the patent office reclassification will be updated on an ongoing basis and IPC fields will be added in the online file, allowing users to distinguish between original and re-classified IPC data. Also available will be 750,000 documentation abstracts in a text-searchable format. The enhanced file also will include new family member sub-sections, which include first-level data such as the original patent titles and abstracts, extra bibliographic data such as full names of inventors and associated addresses, patent assignee addresses, and patent agent information.
Thomson Gale, part of The Thomson Corporation, has announced the addition of more than 700 medical-related videos to its Health and Wellness Resource Center. This video library is a result of Thomson Gale's partnership with Healthology, Inc., a physician-founded health media company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of iVillage Inc.
Healthology video content covering over 60 therapeutic areas, such as oncology, rheumatology, neurology, and gastroenterology, will be available in early 2006 to Health and Wellness Resource Center subscribers at no additional cost. Videos run approximately four minutes in length and are designed to engage, entertain, and educate in news magazine formats. All content is developed through a review process consisting of both internal and external medical or expert review. Each video features biographies of the participants, which can include physicians, scientists, nurses, nutritionists, and fitness trainers along with patients, caregivers, and advocates. Full transcripts for each video, along with a library of text resources, also will be available as part of this new Healthology offering. New content will be added each week. Health and Wellness Resource Center is Thomson Gale's electronic resource center for all levels of health research. It features health and medical encyclopedias, journals and pamphlets, articles form general-interest publications, instant access to health Web sites and video.

Fabregas Shirts
Cesc Fabregas is one of the best central midfielders in world football and he plays for Chelsea and Spain and he possesses great play making and vision abilities. Fabregas began his professional career at Arsenal in 2003 and he made a name for himself in his latter years at the London club. In August 2011 he returned to his former club Barcelona where he played for three years before returning to England in the summer of 2014 to sign for Chelsea.
Fabregas Chelsea Shirts
Francesc 'Cesc' Fabregas Soler was born on the 4th May 1987 in Arenys de Mar, Catalonia, Spain and he began his career at Barcelona where he played for the B side before signing for Arsenal in 2003. Fabregas was signed by Arsenal on 11 September 2003, and made his debut in October 2003 playing a League Cup tie at home to Rotherham United. In doing so he became Arsenal's youngest ever first-team player, aged 16 years and 177 days. He also took the distinction of becoming the youngest goal scorer in Arsenal's history when in a later round of the League Cup, he scored in the 5.1 victory against Wolves.
Fabregas played for Arsenal for eight years before returning back to his youth club Barcelona in 2011 for 29 million euros. Facing stiff competition for places Fabregas was more used on the bench rather than starting. For Barcelona he did win the 2012-13 La Liga title as well as the 2012 Copa del Rey and 2011 Club World Cup. Fabregas played over 150 matches for Barcelona scoring over 40 goals and making over 45 assists. In June 2014 Fabregas signed a five year deal with Premier League club Chelsea for 30 million pounds.
Having been a regular for several Spanish youth teams Fabregas made his senior Spain debut in 2006 making him the youngest player to debut for Spain in 70 years beating Sergio Ramos' former record. Fabregas' first major tournament was the 2006 World Cup where he became the youngest ever Spanish footballer to play a match at a World Cup. Fabregas was then pivotal in Spain's next three major tournaments providing different roles in each helping 'La Roja' to win their first ever World Cup triumph and second and third European Cup titles.

Have you done yours today? Well, it's early Sunday morning, where I am, so there's lots of time to complete mine! If every single one of us made a point each day to do one random act of kindness for someone, just think about all the feel good vibes out there! Have you received a random act of kindness? If you have it's time to pay it back in some small way! Awhile back a friend and I were in the drive thru line up of our local Tim Horton's, and we mentioned that we'd heard of people paying for the order of the car behind them in the line! We agreed it's a very cool concept, but have never done it or received it! When it was our turn to get our ordered items, which were 2 cafe mochas that day, the clerk said that they'd been paid for by the car ahead of us! We were stunned, since we had just discussed that exact same scenario, what were the chances of it actually happening to us for the very first time! We gave a big toothy grin and a wave to the truck that had exited ahead of us, in return for the hot and steamy cups of heaven gifted to us!
So, lets get down to the business of the day! The Truth or Dare Affair is on with still a week to go before it ends and Anachron has the stunning Daring Corset! This is the Tickled Pink version, one of the six textures available! It comes in five standard sizes with an alpha for classic avs, but i'm wearing it with the Maitreya Lara mesh body! The fair runs until February 27!
The smooth and sleek Ziva Boots from NoName are a sight to behold! There's a fitmesh version along with versions that are compatible with SLink Physique and the Belleza mesh bodies! They're HUD driven with eight colours to choose from and they positively scream out be seen!
This is one of my all time favourite nail appliers! The First Birds nail appliers are a great set from Hello Dave that has 35 options to choose from, all with completely gorgeous colours! This is an older release, but it's Sunday so that means a bunch of deals out for Lazy Sunday shopping, along with a new group gift for the Hello Dave VIP's!
The Amour skin in Bronze tone is part of the lovely group gift for the month of February from .::WoW Skins::.!
The Blackbirds tattoo is from B*Fly Tattoos and comes in all the system layers along with appliers for all the major mesh bodies! I discovered B*Fly on Market Place!
The Zephne hair is from +elau+.
{marukin} has some lovely poses available at the current round of Collabor88! Here are a few of them!
I made a trip back to Black Kite for these shots!

Affected by the hosepipe ban?
Each one of us uses 150 litres of water a day, whether it's washing our hands, brushing our teeth, or flushing the toilet.
But we are officially in a drought - so that means we need to be much more careful with the water we use. That is why 7 water companies across the country - including 4 in our region - have imposed a hosepipe ban.
- Southern Water - For Sussex and Kent customers only.
- South East Water - Sussex, Kent and Hampshire customers.
- Thames Water - All customers
- Veolia Water South East - All customers
Anyone found to be in breach of the ban could face a fine of up to £1000. The ban is expected to be in place throughout the summer.
The ban includes;
Watering a 'garden' using a hosepipe
Cleaning a private motor-vehicle using a hosepipe
Watering plants on domestic or other non-commercial premises using a hosepipe
Cleaning a private leisure boat using a hosepipe
Filling or maintaining a domestic swimming or paddling pool
Drawing water, using a hosepipe, for domestic recreational use
Filling or maintaining a domestic pond using a hosepipe
Filling or maintaining an ornamental fountain
Cleaning walls, or windows, of domestic premises using a hosepipe
Cleaning paths or patios using a hosepipe
Cleaning other artificial outdoor surfaces using a hosepipe.
The region is running out of water because the past two winters have been the driest since the 1920s. If the drought continues there is a chance that house holders maybe asked to not use dish washers or washing machines, which account for a 50% increase in the regions water use over the past 25 years.

Cleaning/Replacing EGR Valve-A look Into How to Clean and Replace an EGR Valve P0400
Cleaning/Replacing EGR Valve
Cleaning/Replacing EGR Valve
The EGR valve controls a small passageway between the intake and exhaust manifolds. When the valve opens, intake vacuum draws exhaust gasses through the valve.
When removing your engine.Make sure to take care not to damage the EGR valve. naturally,when you buy a used or re-manufactured engine.So you want to make sure you get one with an EGR valve with your original engine. Unknown problems could occur. So if you get an engine without the EGR valve already in place.
EGR stands for (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation Valve). Of course its main object is to help your car more efficiently. Completely burning fuel by recirculating a portion of your exhaust. Hence,running it through the combustion process again. When the valve opens, intake vacuum draws exhaust through the valve.
Cleaning/Replacing EGR Valve
If you ever have to remove your engine for any reason. Then make sure to take care not to damage the EGR valve. Also should you have to buy a used or re-manufactured engine. Subsequently, you want to make sure you get one with an EGR valve already in place. Especially, if your original engine had one.
The "ported vacuum switch" screws into the intake manifold. Thus, a ported vacuum switch is a vacuum switch installed usually on your intake manifold in a coolant port. Including the thermostat housing or engine so the heat-sensing element is in contact with the engine's coolant. Consequently, as the engine heats up, the wax pushes the plunger.
Expanding up until it uncovers or blocks the vacuum port. Severe engine overheating can damage the switch. So,making replacement necessary.
Another component that may be a part of your vehicle's EGR system is a "ported vacuum switch" (PVS), which may also be called a "thermal vacuum valve" or "temperature vacuum valve" (TVS). The switch controls the passage of vacuum that operates the EGR valve.

[UNtreated lumber will be visibly compromised in less than a year!]
Also, once a pressure treated piece of lumber is cut or bored, the "exposed" meat of the lumber needs to be separately treated to preserve the protection.
And, of course, without a termite shield, you have to be forever vigilant to knock down any "termite tubes" as the critters climb up the pressure treated wood in search of NONtreated wood (decking?) above.

I mean – some of these are in large bags with multiple pockets weighing in over 20 pounds. To me – this is not something that most anyone would carry daily. Car kit? Maybe. In this post I want to pass on some info of what I generally carry every day on my person.
I have used these "Pock-Its" for years at my job and they are durable and stand up to a lot of abuse. I ordered the one above through Amazon. Not as big as many other EDC's out there – it can carry a decent amount of stuff.
Made of a Coruda-type material – it is decently attractive and does not carry a tactical look to it.
With numerous pockets available for flashlights, multi-tools, matches, fish-hooks, scissors, batteries, band-aides, etc – this pouch can carry quite a bit on your belt.
I do not carry much as I do not like the added weight. Much of what I carry I use daily. Starting off I have a 3 watt LED flashlight and a pair of Gerber Multi-pliers.
I wear glasses and without them I cannot see well at all. In the lower front pouch I keep a few Sight Savers which I can use to clean my glasses.
In the back I have a few band-aids.
That's it. I can add more at anytime and many of my systems change and evolve every so often. I could throw a book of matches in – that would not be a bad idea. I have tried – but I have not managed to get my AR to fit yet.
Like I said earlier – this may be small compared to many other EDC kits out there – but it works for me.
Take care all –

Description Edit
Ingredients Edit
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup Sugar (or more)
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 2 tbsp flavoring (i used raspberry
- orange or almond would work
- nicely too)
- 2 egg equivalents
- 3/4 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tbsp salt
- splash of Liquor to match
- flavoring (i used chambord)
Directions Edit
Combine flour, Sugar, cocoa, salt and baking baking powder. Separately, mix flavoring and eggs. Combine. Add splash of Liquor or water as needed to have a sticky consi stency. If the mixture is too stiff, it won"t spread out properly. Put this glob on a greased cookie sheet and arrange it into a log about 15 inch es long and 1 ½ - 2" wide. Bake at 350 °F for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes, then slice diagonally into ½- ¾" slices. I got 18 pieces from mine. Place the slices on their side and put back in the oven (300 degrees) for 15 minutes. Turn over and cook another 10-15 minutes. If you can afford the fat, a small drizzle of semisweet chocolate is wonderful on these when cooled. I used about 2 t. for all the cookies, which added about 6 g. Fat to the recipe or 1/3 g. Fat each one

As you may have gathered, my personal area of interest and investigation is the crossover of 'attention' (the neuroscience definition) and educational policy and practice. One of the (many) questions that has to be addressed before this becomes less of a tantalising dream and more of a physical reality is 'how'. How is attentional theory relevant? How could it influence policy? How can you translate what we know into practical and useful classroom techniques?
Today, I am going to deal with the last of these questions. As more has been learnt about attentional networks and processes people have begun to create 'training programmes'. These programmes are aiming to enhance our attentional and/or cognitive abilities. It is the belief of some that attention systems are inextricably linked to other areas of our executive control functions, meaning that higher attentional ability would lead to a higher cognitive ability (and therefore better grades, behaviour control etc.). There is significant evidence that many neural functions are related, but so far the idea of attentional training leading to improved cognition in other areas is far from proven. Currently then, researchers are attempting to develop training regimes that will support or disprove their hypotheses. What do they need to demonstrate? In order to show that they have developed a method that 'does what is says on the tin' they will need to demonstrate two-three things (hypothesis dependant).
- That the training that they give generalises (makes an individual better) at attentional tasks on which they were not trained.
- That the training that they give generalises to other areas of cognition thought to rely on attentional abilities.
- That the improved attentional ability has a positive impact in the day-to-day life of the individual.
- That the results are fully replicable and rigorously tested.
In the case of educational intervention (2) may not be part of the individuals theory and is therefore not completely necessary. Point (4) is a basic tenant of all quality science, though in exploratory scientific areas it is often found that replication happens far less than could be desired.
These points are common sense, and it may seem that that they are no large stumbling block. However, it has become increasingly obvious to me that scientists are finding it difficult to deal with all of the obstacles that come when training something that cannot be directly observed. While brain imaging gives some indication as to whether training has changes antinational patterns in the brain it is still a developing technique, as well as expensive and scarce (I have been informed that an hour in the average fMRI suite is around £500-£600). Instead, other tasks must be relied upon to evaluate the training program. These tasks may, however, share some key element that the researcher is unaware of with the training task thereby rendering a comparison useless. Maybe the individual's motivation to make the most of the program of training was different to that of others?
There are many, many confounds and experimental difficulties that are only amplified by the fact that researchers are trying to train a skill or quality that they will never directly be able to see, touch or interact with. The challenges are great, but the research is getting there and the wrinkles are being ironed out (even if it is only one by one).
My point, then, must be that we cannot expect miracles. The scientific process is a slow and steady one, but then… the tortoise did win the race!
Not attention theory, but a great summation of the issues with brain training:
This article pretty much sums it up!

Funding for Mainly Mozart (and, by extension, the San Diego music scene) has increased, following the announcement of a $50,000 Youth Orchestra bequest from The Joseph Kase, Jr. Revocable Trust and an anonymous $300,000 underwriting investment from two anonymous donors.
The announcement comes one month to the day after Mainly Mozart announced its 2014 season and named the four guest conductors for next year, each of whom is being considered to replace David Atherton as the organization's music director.
Atherton, who co-founded Mainly Mozart in 1989 with Mainly Mozart Executive Director Nancy Laturno Bojanic, stepped at the conclusion of this year's season. The announcement of a new financial infusion should help Mainly Mozart gain momentum for next season and beyond.
"For 26 years, Mainly Mozart has been committed to student engagement programs. Last season our merger creating the Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra leveraged this vision into a new era of possibilities. The support from the community, and now this unexpected notice of a bequest from The Joseph Kase, Jr. Revocable Trust - has truly touched our hearts," said Bojanic, in a statement released Monday morning.
"This $300,000 in underwriting is enabling Mainly Mozart to make investments in professional staffing and infrastructure that -- although they will ultimately 'pay off' in the long term -- would be challenging to take that step without it. We know that as we continue to strengthen the organization,we are better able to deliver our unique programming, tell our story, and as a result increase engagement. We appreciate the creativity and acumen of the investors in setting this in motion, and are honored and even more committed to deliver our programs to the community."
Mainly Mozart also announced today the addition of three new board members: Steven R. Hart, Chief Technical Officer and Co-Founder, ViaSat, Inc.; Reginald Jones, President and CEO, Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation; and Deann S. Cary, Ph.D. Director of Research and The Outcomes Institute, Sharp Healthcare.
"All bring years of success and expertise in the business world and we are excited by the possibilities their active contributions on the board will help us to achieve," Bojanic said.
In addition, Mainly Mozart has filled several staffing positions. These include: Sandra Schwarzmann as Director Of Sales, Marketing & Public Relations and Continuing Relationships; Kathryn Martin, an industry expert in arts management, as Consulting Director of Development Strategy & Messaging; and Laura Grant as National Publicist.
"As we move further into our 26th season, and build upon the success of our 25th anniversary year, Mainly Mozart is excited to share the big plans for the season ahead, including the new programs we have announced: Evolution, Chamber Players, Mozart & the Mind, and especially the inaugural season of the Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra year-round education program and inaugural concert series starting this December at The New Children's Museum," Bojanic said.
"We continue to strengthen our bi-national leadership with the Youth Orchestra of the Californias, and establish our role as the regions hub for student and amateur music-making. As we solidify our national position as an innovative leader in the field, we will be engaging in an international music director search that will further our mission, all while continuing our commitment to creating exceptional musical experiences that inspire and enrich our community."

There was a time when a game between the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans would invoke vitriol on both sides, when the game mattered deeply for both teams on every level, when punches would actually, literally be thrown (what up, Cortland?) regardless of record. Some of that was good ol' intra-division hate between two evenly matched teams, and some of it, for Houston fans at least, was bitterness over the Titans being some mutated version of the Oilers, like an old girlfriend you had stolen from you (who's now had plastic surgery gone horribly wrong).
Nowadays, though, when the two teams meet, that level of fire no longer exists. Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown for six touchdowns on the Titans. J.J. Watt routinely sacks their quarterback, seemingly at will (and now, with one hand). Hell, even when the Texans went 2-14 in 2013, they still managed a split with the Titans.
In short, until Marcus Mariota can stay healthy for a whole season, these Titan games are now a speed bump for the Texans. They're a routine pounding where the Texans inflict three hours of bodily and psychological harm on Nashville's abortion of a team, and then get on the plane and head home, like Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog punching the clock after a day full of Sam bludgeoning the bumbling Ralph after he makes poor attempts at stealing sheep.
Sunday, the Texans wrote the latest chapter in the "top this" book of wins over Tennessee, strolling into Nashville with their fourth starting quarterback of the season, a 32-year-old castoff who hadn't started and won a game in 1,113 days, and obliterated the Titans 34-6. In the process, the Texans moved to within an inch of their third AFC South title in five years.
Winners and losers yesterday go like this....
4. Brandon Weeden
That castoff quarterback came in for a second week in a row, this time from start to finish, and efficiently moved the offense when it needed moving. Hell, I'll say it — Brandon Weeden made plays! He averaged nearly 13 yards per completion and even improvised a seven-yard run for a touchdown to make the score 17-0 in the second quarter. Weeden did more in four quarters than Matt Cassel has done in any of his games as the Cowboys' starter and it makes you wonder why on earth a team would have kept Cassel over Weeden, unless they were trying to lose games. Weeden is now the sixth different quarterback to start and win a game on O'Brien's watch, an illustrious list after yesterday's games. Here's what I mean...
3. Other former O'Brien-coached quarterbacks
Sunday afternoon, following the NFL scoreboard was like watching an episode of This Is Your Life starring Bill O'Brien. At MetLife Stadium, there was Ryan Fitzpatrick getting the Jets back into the playoff mix with a 26-20 overtime win over the Patriots (more on this in a second). Meanwhile, the only reason the Jets are back inside the playoffs looking out is because Ryan Mallett was leading the Ravens to a win over Pittsburgh. Read that sentence again, it gets no less unbelievable. Finally, Case Keenum went into Seattle and beat the Seahawks, because this day was the most bananas day of all-time for anyone blessed by the touch of O'Brien. Which leads me to this nugget — did you know....
2. Gamblers betting on former O'Brien-coached quarterbacks
.... that if you decided to bet $100 on a four team moneyline parlay of games started by Fitzpatrick (+115), Mallett (+490), Keenum (+525), and Weeden (-200), you'd have won $11,792? Well, you would have, oh ye of little faith!
1. Jon Weeks
I wanted to put J.J. Watt here for his one handed sack, one handed fumble forced, one handed pass defended, or his overall one handed dominance of Zach Mettenberger (or at the very least, this tweet to a hater). I wanted to put DeAndre Hopkins here after another 100+ yard game and a few more highlights for his Pro Bowl reel (or at the very least, his new scarf). But dammit, if there's one Texan we can say has done his job with 100 percent precision and accuracy this season, it's long snapper Jon Weeks. So what better time to recognize perfection than on a Sunday in which Weeks hustled downfield and recovered a fumble on special teams! WEEKS!!
4. Jadeveon Clowney's infrastructure
Up 34-0, the Texans appeared to have emptied a chunk of their bench defensively. A.J. Bouye, Kurtis Drummond, Max Bullough, Christian Covington, all of them were in the game. Oddly, though, so were J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. Watt was probably fine since he is made of titanium steel everywhere except his left hand. Keeping Clowney in, though, seemed a tad risky, since various parts of his person seem to be made of Play Dough. Sure enough, Clowney wound up leaving the game with a foot injury, and leaving the stadium in a walking boot. Both Clowney and O'Brien say he's fine, but damn, the Clowney Experience is a harrowing one for a fan.

2. Patriots' overtime "strategy"
So the Patriots lost in overtime to the Jets on Sunday by a score of 26-20, as the Jets marched 80 yards down the field on the first and only possession of the overtime period, winning the game on a short touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Eric Decker. That wasn't the big story. The big story was that the Patriots won the coin toss in overtime and CHOSE to give the Jets the ball. At first, it was thought that Pats special teams captain Matthew Slater botched the decision, but after the game Bill Belichick confirmed that it was indeed his decision to give the ball to the Jets and try to "play field position." Feels a little like overthinking considering the greatest QB on the planet is on Belichick's roster, but who am I to question?
1. Zach Mettenberger
Weeden had to wait 1,113 days in between wins as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Mettenberger is at 427 days since his first start (ironically, against the Texans, the infamous "selfie game") and still waiting for his first win. He's 0-9. Oddly enough, four of Mettenberger's nine starts have come against the Texans. That's a lot of tormenting from J.J. Watt!

I think I know the answer to this, but hoping I'm wrong. On the Digital Dash, the I/O grounds B14-B19, it says that B19 has to be grounded for RPM and gauge function when using the tach signal from the ignition box. Are B14-B19 like a bus bar and one port needs to be grounded? Is this for RPM gauge only or all gauges?
Reason I'm asking, I'm out of ground positions, and already have other sensors sharing grounds. I'm ordering the Holley 554-131 Tach Input Conditioner, and was looking over the instructions and it states to connect the black wire into one of the grounds B14-B19. Does B19 still need to go to battery/chassis ground? Thanks, Mike

As a pastor and a consistent activist against police brutality, violence and oppression in her community, Rev. Joy Powell was warned by the Rochester Police department that she was a target because of her speaking out against corruption. On many occasions Rev. Joy had held rallies and spoke out against the police brutality and "police justifications" in Rochester NY. As a result, Rev. Joy was accused and convicted of 1st Degree Burglary and Assault.
An all white jury tried her; the state provided no evidence and no eyewitnesses. Rev. Joy was not allowed to discuss her activism or say that she was a pastor. The person that testified for her was not allowed to tell the court that he knew Rev. Joy through there activist work and through the church. Further more the judge Francis Affronti promised he was going to give her a harsh sentence because he did not like her. She was convicted and given 16 years and seven years concurrent.
Rev Joy Powell is more then sure her case was politically motivated based on her activism for equality and justice for all.
Take Action
Sister Joy is being held in solitary confinement and denied medical treatment. Contact the Commissioner and Superintendent and let them know we're watching.

I know I just did one of these last week, but the next cover in the gallery was one I didn't want to wait to share with you!
This is the cover to Imagination, May 1955. The only element about it that's sci-fi in the least is the robot, otherwise it could've been the cover to any magazine aimed at men! I've got to say, the artist on this one did a fantastic job on the leggy woman!
For a while, Galaxy did a series of novels sold on the newsstands, and here's the sixth one. I've got to admit, this is not the most impressive cover I've ever seen!
If: World's of Science Fiction October 1956's issue shows you can't go wrong with a half-naked blue woman (who looks suspiciously like Betty Page) on the cover! Just how many astronauts in these books went on missions carrying a fur coat for just such occasions, though?
Amazing Stories September 1945 continues the theme of underdressed women on this cover... I mean, this chick's wearing a snake and nothing else!
Startling Stories March 1947 gets back to human women showing cleavage and legs on this cover. What's with that ray gun, though? It looks like a telephone pole!
Science Fiction Quarterly's November 1956 issue is entirely missing a woman to get the reader's attention!
Astounding's June 1950 issue cover-features Space Liberace!
And finally, here's Startling Stories June 1952, and we're back to having an attractive woman on the cover!
