Chris Larus, Chair of the Minneapolis IP and Technology Group at Robins Kaplan LLP, has been named an Intellectual Property Trailblazer by the National Law Journal. This annual award recognizes the efforts of attorneys who are changing the ways in which IP is protected and managed, raising the bar on the practice of trademark, patent, and copyright law, and innovating in the field.
Larus is known for seeking out creative solutions to complex business problems. When a multinational corporation asked him how to analyze its portfolio of more than 9,000 patents to identify top prospects for licensing, he set out to create a specialized service utilizing predictive and descriptive analytics that enable attorneys at Robins Kaplan to review massive patent portfolios and identify the patents most likely to be successfully licensed, survive challenges in court or at the PTAB, or be otherwise monetized.
Larus also helps his clients achieve success in litigation and arbitration. Most recently, he concluded a four-week jury trial in a patent action against a subsidiary of multinational Amphenol Corporation. Chris led the trial team that proved 60 different accused products infringed his client's patent, while simultaneously invalidating an Amphenol patent before the Patent Trial & Review Board.

When we moved out to the country, I had to buy my first riding lawnmower. Everybody I talked to said "Go to the local place and get one that they service there".
So, I went to the local tractor place and got me a big riding lawnmower. It's a big monster — 25 horsepower, 54 inch cutting deck… I want to grunt like Tim Allen whenever I talk about it. It's orange, too! Made with pride in America, no less.
Unfortunately for me, it has been trouble almost since I got it. The first mowing was okay, but the second time I ran it, it seemed to be really getting bogged down in any kind of grass. I got a grease gun and added some grease to the mower deck hoping that might help it out, but no, the next time, it was worse. I couldn't get it to cut anything. I called up the dealer and they came and took it back to the shop.
They 'cleaned out the fuel system' and brought it back.
It didn't work any better. I called them and they came again to get it.
This time they adjusted the 'deck' because it was pitched slightly forward.
Really, said I? That's crazy.
It didn't work any better.
This last time they kept it for a week and gave me a "loner" to cut my grass. That one worked well.
So, now it's back.
They had to adjust the 'float' in the carburetor. Apparently it was running too rich and causing the problem. I, needless to say, remain a skeptic.
I have just finished mowing the lawn. It ran pretty good. Cut the grass like it's supposed to. It could be that they have fixed everything and this was the problem the whole time.
The problem is that I'm very much paranoid about it now? It's like when you sprain your ankle, you're always over cautious about using it? I believe that I'm going to be overly concerned about this machine for the rest of it's existence. Any little thing that goes on is going to make me jump right over the top. And, I'm afraid that I'm going to have more problems and more problems until the warranty runs out and then I'm going to have to start paying to fix a problem.
I got to thinking about what would alleviate me of this first world burden… The first thing would have been that they send it back to the factory and give me a brand new one. If there was something seriously wrong with it, say it needed the engine reconstructed, then I would not want that mower — I bought a 'new' machine, not a factory refurbished machine.
Therefore, it had to be a small problem. Which, I guess it has turned out to be. The problem is that I'm not convinced that it's fixed. I don't know what's involved in 'fixing the float' in the carburetor. Maybe if I knew that I'd feel better, but probably not.
At least the dealer has been pretty good about picking it up and dropping it off right at the house.
I just wish that they had fixed this the first time around… or better yet, there was no problem.

Remember the old lighting and fans? Well they are long gone! THANK THE LORD! Those were hideous. I remember the first time Lonnie came with me to the salon (before any of the makeover), he just looked at me and said "WHAT THE HECK BRANDI!" You went from an awesome house to SUPERCUTS!?" I died. Then I told him "You just wait... Trust me! It will NOT look like a Supercuts!
Now when I look at the Before photo's I don't blame anyone for not being able to look at the potential.

Bianca Mosca known for its ultra luxury bags, wallets and accessories made from prime Louisiana alligator leather is launching a range of hand crafted custom watch bands in seventeen striking colors.
The watch bands come in colors such as St.Tropez Blue, Orange and Pink as well as more traditional black, brown and navy blue.
The linings of Bianca Mosca's straps are made from a high performance antiperspirant compound rubber. Moisture is evaporated and the wearer's skin regulates the temperature under the bracelet to offer supreme comfort allied to the elegance of the fine alligator leather.
A Bianca Mosca spokesperson said: "These bands are the perfect replacement for a standard fitting and a great complement to the fine craftsmanship of a modern or vintage watch."
The straps are hand made in Bianca Mosca's workshop in France and cost $295 including free shipping. Hand stitching is available for a supplementary charge of $50.
Founded in London in 1946 by the renowned couturier Bianca Mosca the company designs luxurious bags and accessories handmade at its workshops in France and Italy. They operate an online made-to-order (MTO) service for wallets, cardholders, pouches, bracelets, iPhone and iPad cases and Apple watch bands that allows visitors to customize their order online with a multitude of choices including selecting the color of alligator leather, stitching and linings.
The company uses farmed American Louisiana alligator ("Alligator Mississippiensis"). The American alligator is listed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

CLEVELAND - The FOX 8 I TEAM is uncovering new information about a missing 14-year-old Cleveland girl and the body of a juvenile female found murdered Sunday night in a vacant home.
As of late Monday, the medical examiner still had not released the identity of the murder victim. However, multiple sources say police believe the female found in the vacant home is the missing girl.
Last week 14-year-old Alianna DeFreeze disappeared. She's a child with special needs. She took an RTA bus to East 93rd and Kinsman, but she never made it to school.
Police searching homes found the dead body two blocks from where Alianna got off the bus heading to school.
The I TEAM has learned that video shows her getting off the bus and then crossing the street.
Meantime, a police report reveals a delay in Alianna's mother finding out she was missing. The report shows the school sent a message since Alianna didn't show up, but the message was not delivered "due to a software malfunction." The police report also describes Alianna as "easily persuaded" and "trusting".
All of this is chilling for Yvonne Pointer. Her daughter was kidnapped on the way to school, and raped and murdered. And in that case, the killer was not caught until decades later. So Pointer thinks of the family of this young victim. Pointer said, "There's a whole lot of people out here praying for you. When my daughter was raped and murdered, it was just like a nightmare. I can only imagine that you're having a nightmare." She added, "29 years I looked for the person that murdered my daughter."
The I TEAM checked and found dozens and dozens of sex offenders living in the area where the body was found Sunday. Who's to blame?
Loretta Ferguson with the Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance wondered what kind of monster kills a child? She said, "He's an animal. He's a demon animal. I'm frustrated. I'm mad. So is he? He could be somebody that you'd never think."
Ferguson has been active with many others searching in the streets for Alianna.
The southeast side of Cleveland has become known for violence against women. In recent years, a handful of murders of women there have made headlines, and some of the cases remain unsolved. And just weeks ago, the I TEAM revealed, Cleveland Police busted a serial rapist who'd been attacking women in the same part of town.

If you participated in the 2014 Pleasant Prairie Triathlon, you may have noticed some special teams of athletes from the nonprofit organization Care2Tri taking on the challenge of the race. Founded in 2009, Care2Tri is dedicated to making it possible for differently-abled people to experience the challenge, the thrill, and the joy of participating in triathlons and similar events by helping them compete. The mission of the organization is to "create a sense of equality and help steer the views of mainstream society to one of acceptance and inclusion," one race at a time.
We caught up with Ryan Flynn, one of the founders and leaders of the Care2Tri Chicago chapter, after the Pleasant Prairie Triathlon and asked him about his organization.
Focal Flame Photography: What was your motivation in starting a Care2Tri chapter?
Flynn: I have been racing in triathlons for 5 years and absolutely love the sport and competition, yet I've always wanted to do something more to share the experience with other people. I saw coverage of the Florida Rev 3 triathlon where Care2Tri was highlighted. I was very moved and spoke with founder Greg Simony about starting a chapter, which along with Carrie Wisniewski we did in September 2013.
FFP: Adaptive vans, equipment, and traveling to races is expensive. How is Care2 Tri supported?
Flynn: We are fortunate to have some corporate sponsors in the form of product, but we rely solely on local businesses, friends, family, and fellow triathletes for funding. We held fundraisers throughout the winter, used the funds to purchase equipment and insurance, and had our first race in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin in the spring of 2014. That was really a big moment for the Chicago Chapter! And you can see it in the photos Focal Flame took!
FFP: How many races have you run and how many people with disabilities have you served so far?
Flynn: I have completed 2 races with Care2Tri, pulling 3 athletes with disabilities; we have at least 3 more on the schedule for 2014. We plan to participate in the same 5 races next year and add more. Currently, we are trying to organize racing 50 triathlons in all 50 states in 50 consecutive days, pulling 3 disabled participants in each state.
FFP: How has starting this chapter of Care2 Tri affected you personally and/or professionally?
Flynn: It certainly has been a challenge, but the joy and pride our participants experience during the races makes all the hard work worth it! As long as I am able, I will continue to make these opportunities available.
FFP: What impact has your organization had on the community?
Flynn: In the short time that we have been participating in races, we have had a lot of triathletes and spectators come to us and want to get involved and race with us. Just through modeling the right approach, others want to get on board.
FFP: Does your organization partner with support groups to either connect with people with disabilities, raise funds, or provide support?
Flynn: We partner with the Anixter Center, United Cerebral Palsy, Disabled Veterans, Wounded Warriors, and the YMCA, encouraging them to promote our organization and allow us to speak at health and fitness engagements. We have worked with people with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, autism, Rett syndrome, brain injuries, Down syndrome, and people who are blind, quadriplegic, or amputees. If someone has the desire, we will find a way for them to participate in any race.
FFP: If someone wishes to be a part of Chicago Care2Tri chapter, whom should they contact?
Flynn: We welcome race guides and volunteers for race day, as well as help with fundraising, marketing, and race organization. Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Focal Flame Photography is honored to capture moments such as the amazing teamwork of Care2Tri members during our service as the official event photographers for the Pleasant Prairie Triathlon. Thanks and congratulations to the entire triathlete community for your efforts in making this sport accessible to differently abled athletes.

Hi Everyone!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Mendocino. The town is about a 3 hour drive from San Francisco, so while it does seem like a spontaneous get-up-and-go destination, it does require some planning – like obtaining a car.
Luckily, Ittai has a downright adorable Miatta that we cruised around in the entire weekend. We headed up on a gloomy and overcast Saturday ready for a weekend of total relaxation. One reason I love Mendocino: WiFi is few and far between. Bless it.
I can't really tell you how amazing Mendocino is – you just need to see and believe it for yourself. I've fallen in love with a ton of places in California and I'd have to say Big Sur and Mendocino have quickly become personal favorites.
For those who are unfamiliar with the area, I suggest you plan a trip ASAP. From the drive to the scenery, the weekend was perfect. Here are a few of my favorite spots while I was there:
Where To Stay: If you want a beautiful spot to drink in the equally beautiful scenery, the Little River Inn is the perfect place to do so. Nestled right on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, the Little River Inn is an inviting and regal place like no other. Their classic Victorian architecture speaks volumes of their experience as they have greeted guests for five generations. Along with the beautiful rooms filled with cozy beds and fireplaces, Little River Inn's restaurant is the ultimate spot to snag a snack or chow down. While their menu changes frequently, my favorites included the scallops and the warm olallieberry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. John Sverko, Little River Inn's resident sommelier, even talked us through the wine menu helping us pick out the perfect pairings. The Little River Inn is definitely a romantic spot with generous and inviting staff. Highly recommended!
Where To Drink: I wouldn't say I'm a lush, but I definitely love wine – especially red wine! When Ittai and I made a pit stop at Lula Cellars, we were greeted by their entire staff and owner of Lula, Jeff Hansen. Known for their Pinots, Jeff treated us to a variety of tastings from their outstanding selection of wine. Lula even grows some of their own veggies on-site and if that's not cool enough, their resident dog is adorable and adds to the charm of the vineyard. Some wine highlights? The 2012 Mendocino Pinot Noir and 2013 Mendocino Zinfandel. So, so good. If you want to drink good wine with an even better story, head to Lula.
What To Do: If you're only in town for a day or long weekend, I'd suggest not doing much other than enjoying what's around you. Every corner of Mendocino is insanely magical and meant to be explored. Each beach is just calling for a photo opp and trails are a plenty there. If you're looking for a good photo and calm setting, head over to the Mendocino Botanical Gardens where you can walk around the foggy coastline and admire some beautiful flowers and plants. Most known for their Rhododendrons, the grounds are full of these pink hued blooms with a intoxicating fragrance. Another amazing place to check out includes Van Damme State Park. If you're lucky, you'll even catch some wildlife taking a much needed R&R from real-life activities.

This past summer a few girlfriends and I finally experienced high tea at the Ritz Carlton. We've been planning to go since winter but we've decided it would be nicer to drink tea in summer dresses instead of baggy sweaters. It was a lovely afternoon of drinking fancy tea and sampling dainty finger foods. Do not underestimate the size of those things – we were all stuffed in the end. It inspired us to have our own afternoon tea party. I offered to host it since I have a decent tea collection and those three-tiered dessert stands.
Fast forward to this past weekend where it finally happened! Everyone brought in such amazing food to share. You can see the beautiful array of food we had on my instagram. For sweets, we had lemon blueberry scones, lemon poppy seed loaf, cakepops, chocolate marble icebox cookies, three different types of brie phyllo pastry appetizers, fancy macarons from Butter Avenue, chocolate fondue, apple cupcakes + pumpkin cupcakes, and fruits for some healthier sugar balance. For savoury snacks, we had avocado toast bites, chicken dill salad sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, and fresh veggies. An excellent balance of sweet and salty I would say ;). Everyone had such a great time – sharing good food and laughs. Talking about girly things like …Justin Bieber's new album. =P
It's not hard to guess what I made since I am blogging about them now! In addition to the apple cupcakes, I also made pumpkin cupcakes and the chicken dill salad sandwiches. For the tea party, I made cute mini versions of this cupcake. The only difference is the baking time. For mini cupcakes, always shorten the baking time compared to regular sized cupcakes.
I love these apple cupcakes, I made them last year but I didn't blog about them since I took an unofficial mini blog break. The addition of shredded apple makes these cupcakes super moist. This cupcake is denser than an average cupcake and it is full of apple flavour! You can subtly taste the texture of the apple shreds. I found this recipe on Tracey's Culinary Adventures. I pretty much did the same except I used Honeycrisps instead of Granny Smiths just because I had them on hand. I also topped it off with a different frosting. I went with a more fall inspired (even tho its winter already >_<) maple cream cheese frosting instead of a caramel cream cheese frosting.
You can also feel less guilty about eating these cupcakes because apples are super good for you! Check out this great article at Well-Being Secrets. It's a great in-depth article on science-backed benefits of apples, it's history other interesting facts about apples!
Apple cinnamon cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting*
(Recipe adapted from Tracey's Culinary Adventures)
For the cupcakes
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola oil – I used vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 Granny Smith apples (about 1 lb), peeled, cored, and shredded – I used 2 Honeycrisps
For the maple cream cheese frosting
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese
4 cups icing sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
*With this recipe I made 18 mini cupcakes and 4 regular sized cupcakes
For the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a second medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and both sugars until smooth and well combined, making sure to break up any clumps of brown sugar. Add the oil and vanilla and whisk until completely incorporated. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir just until everything comes together. Fold in the apples until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter evenly among the liners. Bake for 20-25 minutes for regular cupcakes OR 12-15 minutes for mini cupcakes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed with your finger and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes before removing them to the rack to cool completely.
For the frosting:
- Cream the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the sugar until incorporated.
- Then add the cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup. Mix for 10 seconds, until evenly combined. Frost cupcakes as desired. I used a Wilton 1M tip to make these rose-like topping.

Quality Athletics Rooftop Restaurant Garden
"Quality Athletics is a new sports bar opening this September in Pioneer Square. Located in the Stadium Place building on the corner of Occidental and King, the vibe will be fun, the food and drinks excellent, and the flat screens plentiful. The space will include a large wood-fired grill and rotisserie, roof top garden, an AstroTurf back bar, outdoor fire pits, a private event space and indoor and outdoor seating."
We partnered with the Huxley Wallace Collective, the brains behind Quality Athletics, to transform an existing rooftop garden space into a highly productive edible garden. We worked with the chef to create a list of crops that will accent their pub-fare. Many of the crops are suitable for pickling and will be turned into relishes and fermented condiments.

Co-pilot passes out during flight
On Monday, an American Airlines pilot died in the cockpit during a flight.
The next day, passengers flying on United Airlines witnessed another scare in the cockpit when the co-pilot passed out mid air.
The plane was bound for San Francisco from Houston and had to make an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a result.
The co-pilot was able to walk off the aircraft when the plane landed and he is said to be OK.
See photos from the unfortunate occurrence on a plane earlier this week:
See Gallery
An airport spokesman told KOAT that passengers waited at the airport for another four hours before boarding again.
"United was able to bring in another pilot so they left on the same aircraft...Overall the passengers seem to be very grateful and very happy that everything turned out the way it did."

The question is answered, right answer was accepted
If I build a website for my client in Squarespace and initially host on GoDaddy, can I later seamlessly move to GoDaddy for the hosting part?
I am new to this so not sure about the technical terms for this question. Thanks!
Answer by scoobie · Jun 02, 2014 at 03:56 PM
No, you can't build it in Squarespace and host it in GoDaddy, Squarespace is both a website builder and a host. The name of your website, ie the URL www.name.com – can be registered with GoDaddy or any other provider.
Scoobie, you can have your domain hosted elsewhere: http://help.squarespace.com/search-results/?q=domain%20mapping
Agreed but the original poster doesn't mention the domain name anywhere in his post though, he refers to hosting which normally refers to the content side of the website and where that is stored/"hosted"
Agreed, scoobie. We need more info from him... lol Have a fantastic day!

RNA polymerase II elongation complexes (ECs) were assembled from nuclear extract on immobilized DNA templates and analyzed by quantitative mass spectrometry. Time-course experiments showed that initiation factor TFIIF can remain bound to early ECs, while levels of core elongation factors Spt4–Spt5, Paf1C, Spt6–Spn1, and Elf1 remain steady. Importantly, the dynamic phosphorylation patterns of the Rpb1 C-terminal domain (CTD) and the factors that recognize them change as a function of postinitiation time rather than distance elongated. Chemical inhibition of Kin28/Cdk7 in vitro blocks both Ser5 and Ser2 phosphorylation, affects initiation site choice, and inhibits elongation efficiency. EC components dependent on CTD phosphorylation include capping enzyme, cap-binding complex, Set2, and the polymerase-associated factor (PAF1) complex. By recapitulating many known features of in vivo elongation, this system reveals new details that clarify how EC-associated factors change at each step of transcription.Keywords : RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain (CTD), DSIF, Spt6, Paf1 complex, Cdk7, transcription elongation

Aim the light of your life! Each morning spend time remembering, awakening, activating the mission, the greater purpose you are here to serve. Renew this aim each and every morning with conscious breath/inspiration and throughout the day when we find ourselves overwhelmed, forgetful and mired in the lassitude of wayward directions or even tempted to compromise our virtuous self. We pull all of our essence into this laser-focus of truth in constancy. We are here for the greatest of heroic adventures. Don't let the mundane wiles of this world diminish the valorous quest. We need you...
What is the mission? What is the great purpose of our life? This is one of the most significant questions to posit to oneself and essential if we are to live lives of powerful fulfillment. This needn't be answered quickly. If this question feels daunting to you, even intimidating, that is well and good. It suggests that there may be a lack of purpose in your life and you now have the GLORIOUS opportunity to create this for yourself. It may take days, weeks or even months to clearly define. Moreover, this sense of purpose is up for constant revision and renewal.
Some people rarely ask themselves this question and it's one of the great tragedies of modern culture that great purpose is often lacking from our lives. And I don't mean the selfish, little aims, such as I wish to make x amount of dollars or I aspire to get such-and-such job (and by selfish I don't mean anything negative but literally aims that only deal with our self). I mean the big purpose, like I'm here to be a beacon of goodness; to serve the upliftment of humanity; to face every challenge with the inspiring willingness to express more of the best of me, to help restore balance in the environment, to create true equality among all races, etc.
This purposing needn't even be filled with words. One of the greatest ways to set the frequency of one's day at a very rich vibration is to sit and simply imagine uniting with the cosmos, opening the infinite petals of the crown chakra; the centre where great, divine purpose ignites. This prayer of devotion opens one's Heart, creates a sacred space where we are self-ritualized, our body sacralised as temple for the spiritual shimmer of consciousness. In such grand purposing, we are diminished in a healthy way before the massive spectre of an ultimate reality; our ego 'scared sacred' and brought down to a size to integrate and serve with its powers of individuation a healthy mission of co-creation with cosmic zest, not just a selfish purpose of self-gratifying aims.
Fostering a sense of purpose with constant cultivation is also cutting-edge skillful living, drawing from both ancient mystical wisdom and modern science. It's a how we hack the narrow purpose of our modern culture which, upon even superficial analysis, reveals tame aspirations of a well-paying job, nice house, raising a family, retire somewhere warm, financial security... There's nothing inherently wrong with any of these aims. Yet, I believe many of us live lives of quiet desperation because we feel, perhaps as an unconscious itch, that we are made for something so much more as well, something HEROIC (see my article on The Heroic Journey at Waking Times).
Consider the tremendous times we live in. It's clear a massive awakening of consciousness is inspiring us to become creators of a new world of peace, equality and ecological harmony. As the great masters have affirmed, we ourselves can embody these noble changes and play significant roles in the way the world is shaped.
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world"
Ask yourself: are you playing small ball? Is boredom an issue in your life? Are you lacking a daily dose of inspiration that, when the going gets rough, can be called upon to pick us up with every fall with the forward fury of fulfilling the mission NO MATTER WHAT?
It needn't mean our purpose be grandiose, such as I'm going to single-handedly end war. In fact, as we awaken more to the miraculous potentials of consciousness as a highly intelligent, subtle energetic force of dynamic creative power, we're realizing the butterfly effect in immense and consistent ways: small acts, even the vibration of thoughts themselves, have a bigtime effect on this co-created reality of ours. Moreover, as consciousness awakens, it's revealing an attribute that many of us are starting to live: it wants to unify. In fact, unity is an essential aspect of consciousness as it grows. Thus, much of our greater purpose involves aiming us toward co-creation as we realize more and more our great, heroic dreams are no longer for the realm of egotistical, individual glory but something to be manifested in passionate teamwork. We can still be our own visionaries and shine our own light but to steward the necessary changes needed to save our world, we need to act interdependently. As I ironically wrote in a poem once, this is the war of interdependence, which is an oxymoron: beings that realize interdependence as the inherent truth of how life functions CANNOT BE AT WAR WITH ANYTHING for to do so is to live in falsehood; to transgress the way of the universe.
Science has now started to understand this whole notion of purpose as a characteristic of the universe itself. All living things (even what is deemed 'inorganic', which seems to be harder and harder to pin down) exude what's called telos—having an end in mind, a goal or purpose. This purpose is driven by an attractor—all life seems to have a point of higher development that it can become aware of (or even create) and then strive toward meeting. The great scientist, Rupert Sheldrake, discusses the idea of telos and attractors in depth in some of his works. (Check out an amazing interview with Rupert HERE to learn more about this amazing genius who is changing our understanding of science and reality profoundly!).
The ancients knew this only too well: the indigenous pagans of Europe had a title for those initiated into their Mysteries or schools of wisdoms--telestai which means "those who are aimed". It was seen as one of the highest orders of individual development to inspire a great, divine aim in all peoples so they would all be driven toward a noble goal that would draw all facets of their life into this profound attraction toward serving something good: "In the ultimate sense initiates aimed to guide humanity to become self-guiding…In order to promote self-direction with the intent of leading a consecrated life, the telestai introduced their student neophytes to a narrative framework, a guiding story. Within the story each individual found his or her sacred calling and became self-directed, a free agent. The essence of the telestic program consisted in a deep understanding of what it means to be instruments for coevolution..." John Lamb Lash (from "Not In His Image", one of the best books ever written).
Even whole ancient cultures would foster such collective aim/purpose, such as the Egyptian concept of Ma'at or the Tao of the ancient Orient. These were immense, universal purposes that everyone would be directed toward fulfilling, giving society a noble collective thrust toward following "the way of the universe". This is the great hope of our era: that we are creating a united humanity aimed toward a common goal of honouring all creation, uplifting all in need to an equal commons of respect and love where all life can thrive in the freedom of exploring and activating the fullest potentials of the evolutionary pulse at the essence of all…
AIMING PRACTICE: I encourage you to explore placing the context of your life into greater context for 30 days and to take note of what happens. As I've insinuated, my experience has taught me that morning is the best time to do this practice as it sets up an inspiring energy that will pervade potentially all of your day's activities. I find myself perpetually acknowledging and empowering this purpose, as I walk to get groceries, as I take a little rest after lunch, and before I settle in for sleep. The practice needn't be intricate: simply sit with yourself and begin to "imagineer" a greater purpose for yourself. Be receptive and open to a dynamic and changing vision. Let it be playful. Allow yourself to gradually feel that each morning you are setting forth on a noble adventure or quest and that you are the hero. Feel free to email me any questions or comments: email@example.com.
Aim the light of your life! Each morning spend time remembering, awakening, activating the mission, the greater purpose you are here to serve. Renew this aim each and every morning with conscious breath/inspiration and throughout the day when we find ourselves overwhelmed, forgetful and mired in the lassitude of wayward directions or even tempted to compromise our virtuous self. We pull all of our essence into this laser-focus of truth in constancy. We are here for the greatest of heroic adventures. Don't let the mundane wiles of this world diminish the valorous quest. We need you...

Huffington Post - Comedian Marcus Tisdale woke up and decided he was going to smoke crack in public.
Kind of.
Tisdale tested Dave Chappelle's famous words about seeing people brazenly smoke crack in San Francisco by pretending to light up a crack pipe in broad daylight in the city by the bay.
Comedy Experiments filmed the whole thing and now we get to see the repercussions (or lack thereof) that arise from smoking crack in the famously tolerant West Coast city.
What do you think?
Uh, what do I think, Huffington Post? I think this guy fuckin half-assed it. I mean, I like the premise, it's actually a semi-interesting prank/social experiment, at least compared to a lot of the "pranks" that are being filmed these days, but the execution is lacking. I'll get in to why in a second, but here's a highlight reel of the somewhat funny moments of this ridiculously long and repetitive 8 minute video:
1) Dumb Cops
Smoking in front of the cops was ballsy, I'll give him that, but if these are your cops, San Fran, then you need to sit them down and explain their job to them. Head on a swivel, boys. Can't be takin selfies on the sidewalk... maybe that's why you're fuckin bike cops, aka lowest of the low.
2) This Guy
Perfect faces all around by this dude. Starts with the, "Really, man?" face, goes in to the, "Okay, guess this is happening," face, and finishes it off strong with the, "Okay, no, but seriously..." face.
3) The Random Asian (Maybe Christian?) Rock Band
This was admittedly pretty perfect, but really only half this guy's doing. His walk by was perfect, but to just have a random Asian rock band (playing to literally no audience) available to actually walk by is pure luck. Oh and they may be a christian rock band? I mean, that Jesus Saves All banner was prettttyyyy close to the stage, hard to think it wasn't part of the act, which for some reason makes the scene that much more absurd and funny.
And..... that's it. Seriously, in all 8+ minutes those are the only three moments I found relatively entertaining, and here's why:
Don't give me the whole, "oh it's so crazy how nobody reacts to him doing that in broad daylight," thing. Uh yeah, no shit, because if you're a normal, even somewhat perceptive person, then you know this is fake within two seconds of seeing him. Wasn't acting like a crack head, no actual smoke in the bottle, and basically any time somebody may have had a genuine reaction, he immediately smiled and said it was fake.
I mean, come on dude. If you're gonna do it, do it. I'm not saying actually smoke crack (but I'm not NOT saying it, may as well go balls to the wall), but you at least have to have the mannerisms and little details, like actual fucking smoke, to sell this thing, otherwise you're just that dick that some chick is filming who people walk by and go, "oh hey, that asshole is pretending to smoke crack." Not the reaction you want. "Oh hey, that fuckin crack head is just smoking crack right on the god damn sidewalk!" That, that my friend, is the reaction you want. Come back to me when you're ready to stop with the kids stuff and be a man about this... or a crack head, whatever.
P.S. In all honesty, if I saw a dude smoking crack on the streets in Brooklyn, wouldn't even think to say a word, just head down and go.

The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) formed in response to growing concern in regard to the lack of open discussion/transparency and potential negative impact of the Alternate Payment System (APS) proposal endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). APTQI has invested significant time and resources over the past two years to understand exactly the path and seemingly unwarranted risks that our professional organization is taking in supporting the coding proposal that has been working its way through the American Medical Association's (AMA) CPT coding committee process.
We feel strongly that the lack of inclusion of value and quality in addition to the potential reimbursement and audit harm to the profession is more significant than we have ever faced. Our Board member companies, as well as Affiliate members in large and small private practices, felt compelled to join together to address this issue.
Below is a brief description of the companies that make up the Alliance, which currently operate and represent over 3,000 outpatient rehabilitation clinics.
Athletico Physical Therapy – Currently operates approximately 350 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 8 states.
ATI Physical Therapy – Currently operates approximately 310 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 12 states.
Drayer Physical Therapy Institute – Currently operates approximately 125 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 16 states.
Physiotherapy Associates – Currently operates approximately 575 outpatient physical therapy clinics in 34 states.
Select Medical – Currently operates approximately 1023 outpatient rehabilitation and/or occupational therapy clinics in 33 states and the District of Columbia.
Upstream Rehabilitation – Currently operates approximately 305 outpatient rehabilitation and/or occupational therapy clinics in 22 states.
US Physical Therapy – Currently operates approximately 494 outpatient rehabilitation and/or occupational therapy clinics in 42 states.

Course Overview
The course gives pupils the opportunity to study both physical, human and environmental geography topics and consists of three main units:
Course Content
Unit 1:
Global environmental issues covers topics such as: climate change, the impact of human activity on the natural environment, earthquakes, volcanoes, tropical storms, trade & globalisation, tourism, development and health.
Unit 2:
Human Environments compare developed and developing countries and the issues studied will include health, population change, environmental quality as well as urban and rural change.
Unit 3:
Physical Environments within the UK (including mapping). The landscape types studied can be chosen from glaciated uplands, limestone scenery, coastlines of erosion & deposition and river landscapes.
Within the course we use a variety of teaching and learning approaches including, cooperative learning, group work, class discussions, individual written work, presentations, debates and role play.
Assessment is an integral part of our teaching and learning process and we recognise that regular positive and constructive feedback is very important to help pupils progress. Pupil assessments range from short topic tests to extended written tasks, from project work to homework. Pupils are also encouraged to self reflect and are given the oportunity throughout the year to assess their own progress and set their own targets.
Homework is set to support and consolidate classroom learning and can vary from pupils researching a topic for a report, revising for an assessment or looking over the work of that day's lesson.
Recording and Reporting
All pupil assessments are routinely graded and recorded by the teacher and the results are stored centrally, these results are used by staff to track the progress of the individuals and ensure that their needs are being met. Pupils also review their own attainment and are encourage to identify ways to improve their learning. Staff report formally to parents as per the school calendar, however any concerns about a pupil's progress would be raised our weekly departmental meeting. After speaking with the pupil, if need be we would contact home by phone or letter, discuss our concern with our Guidance and Support for Learning colleagues or indeed with the Senior Management Team.

The lithosphere, or the solid, outer part of Earth, is about 44 to 62 miles thick. It is 3,958 miles to the center of the Earth. Flowing rocks and molten minerals are a relatively short distance below the surface of oceans and landmasses.
The lithosphere includes the crust and the solid, uppermost mantle of the Earth. The rigid lithosphere floats on the non-rigid, warmer, partly liquid layer just beneath it, the asthenosphere. There, temperatures can reach 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit, rocks may flow and about 10 percent of the material is molten. Scientists believe the asthenosphere is in constant motion, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and continental drift.

William Holman Hunt(1827-1910), Pre-Raphaelite painter
Sitter in 29 portraits
Artist of 2 portraits
Holman Hunt entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1844 where he met Millais, who was to become his closest friend. A founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, 1848, and throughout his life an adherent to Pre-Raphaelite principles; his paintings include The Hireling Shepherd, 1852, and The Light of the World, 1854. In the seventies and eighties, Hunt became increasingly isolated artistically, his later work concentrating on religious themes informed by successive visits to the Holy Land. He published his autobiographical Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1905. He died on 7 September 1910 and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral.

Classic Autotest Motorclub
The club was formed in 2008 in memory of Jimmy Peak and we meet the 1st Wednesday of each month in the Market House, The Square, Ballynahinch at 7.30 pm. To date we have 130 members which includes juniors and ladies.
The main aim of the club is to encourage the youth, ladies and beginners to get involved in motorsport and run events which are great value for money and enjoyable through our 5 Autotests. We have introduced a club challenge for all PPMC members over our 4 single venue Autotests. We also organize car runs, car show and a vehicle display followed by a cavalcade and many other social events and all money raised at our events goes to our yearly nominated charities. Our events are all family friendly and this allows everyone to be involved from young to old. We make cheque presentations to our nominated charities at our Annual Dinner Dance & Prize-giving which is held on the 3rd Saturday in November. Since we formed in November 2008 we have handed over £36,000 to local charities.
We also assist other clubs with marshalling duties.

Sold: Unicorns, Yetis, and Flying Kittens
The Brading Experience, an unusual museum on England's Isle of Wight, recently closed for good, and the contents of the building were auctioned off yesterday. Which means that anyone in the market for a yeti or a flying kitten should have been in the UK. (Darn!)
According to legend, the unusual beasts were collected by a mysterious Professor Copperthwaite who traveled the world in the 19th century, searching for curious creatures. (My ideal job!)

Red blood cells do not have mitochondria. In fact, the cytoplasm of a mature, mammalian red blood cell has no organelles at all, not even a nucleus.
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, transport oxygen to other cells and transport carbon dioxide to the lungs. The cytoplasm of a red blood cell is full of a protein called hemoglobin, an iron-containing molecule than bonds with oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs. Blood carries the oxygen-charged erythrocytes throughout the body until they reach the capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body and are so small that the red blood cells have to line up single-file to pass through the capillaries. This tight squeeze allows close contact with the cells surrounding the capillaries, which makes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules possible.

There's a difference between what we look for, what we settle for and what we are meant for".
Some readers sent me e-mails saying most of my articles have been a little too serious recently, so let's talk about something a little fun this week.
I was privileged to go into the clothing business at some point in my life, asides the fact that I had to work with guys almost everyday, I learnt so many things from them.
On this fateful day, we had just finished a mass production of tee-shirts for an event,hungry and tired from not getting enough sleep at night,we decided to have brunch. While having brunch,the most exciting part of our work started, "discussion time".
The food led to our discussion and before long, each guy started listing out qualities he thinks his "Mrs. RIGHT" must possess. They listed on and on and on, while I sat there, listening and watching their expressions with tears in my eyes from too much laughter.
At the end of the discussion, I was able to pick out the Highest Common Factors (HCF) from each guy's list.
The following made the HCF:
Beautiful (inside and out);
Fun to be with;
Must have some junk in the trunk
Must be able to make it happen in the bedroom and kitchen (very important).
The above qualities were present in the list of 8 different guys.
Another day,while at a friend's birthday lunch, I started the same discussion with my female friends.
You should know the usual with ladies *winks*. "Mr. RIGHT" must be: Tall, Dark, Handsome, God-fearing, well toned muscles, great career….the list is endless.
From the two scenarios, it's obvious both sexes (male&female) have pictures of the ideal lover in their heads. The kind of fantasy criterion put into our brains,thanks to Hollywood and Harlequin novels.
I don't know if anyone else will agree with me on this, but I've come to discover that the cards don't always turn in our favour. We spend so much time painting pictures of how our Mr/Mrs Right must look like and sometimes we lose sight of what we really need, while looking out for what we want.
At the end of the day, we will discover that those standards or the so-called criteria we held on to,are very amendable.
Now my question is, those people who ended up getting married to people who are not actually prototypes of the "criteria" they set as singles;
Does that mean they have settled for less?
Or is it that when time flies and desperation sets in, people just go for "any one wey come I don dey old?"
What are your thoughts on this? In my opinion, I'll say our own plans are very different from what God has prepared for us.
"A man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps" Proverbs 16:9 NKJV
A friend of mine always says, "there's a difference between what we look for, what we settle for and what we are meant for".
Dear esteemed reader, what are your thoughts on this? Do you think they settled for less? Is it time and desperation that changes the criterion? Or do you think it's love that changes it all?
Let's hear you, read the post, share the post and drop your comments… What's your ideal mr right like or your ideal mrs right like?
Have a great week ahead.

Ullapool Book Festival, whose 12th festival has just taken place, will be back at this year's Loopallu (Ullapool's music festival being held 30 September -1 October) with its Literally Literary tent.
They are delighted to announce their first guests for the tent. Miles Hunt, singer with The Wonder Stuff, will discuss his latest book with the broadcaster, musician and writer Mark Radcliffe. The band is on the bill at Loopallu so when Miles Hunt's management offered Ullapool Book Festival the opportunity of having him in the literary tent they jumped at the chance.
Miles Hunt will have just released his second book 'The Wonder Stuff Diaries '90-'93'. His first book 'The Wonder Stuff Diaries '86 - '89', released last year, has been heralded as setting a new bar for music biographies.
The book festival's Literally Literary tent started at Loopallu in 2014. Previous guests include Christopher Brookmyre, Louise Welsh, King Creosote, Vic Galloway, Kevin MacNeil, Alan Bissett, Doug Johnstone and Mairi Hedderwick.
The book festival will be announcing further guest writers over the next couple of months.

Sodium and Fluoride levels are regularly monitored in water supplied to Guelph/Eramosa consumers. Samples collected are analyzed at accredited and licensed laboratories and test results are complied and made available to the public.
The following Sodium results were sampled in 2014:
Hamilton Drive Well Supply range from 9.8 mg/L to 29 mg/L
Rockwood Well Supply range from 16 mg/L to 130 mg/L
Gazer Mooney Drinking Water System 26 mg/L
Although it is not considered toxic to people, sodium in drinking water in excess of 20 mg/L may be significant to individuals on a sodium restricted diet.
The Medical Officer of Health is notified when the sodium concentration in a municipal water supply exceeds 20 mg/L so the information can be provided to local physicians.
Fact Sheet - Sodium in Drinking Water (see attachment)
Standard (mg/L)
Optimum Range (mg/L)
0.5 - 0.8
Hamilton Drive Well Supply range from 0.14 mg/L to 0.16 mg/L
Rockwood Well Supply range from 0.95 mg/L to 1.3 mg/L
Fluoride occurs naturally in surface water due to atmospheric deposition from industry and volcanic eruptions, leaching from fertilizers, and the weathering of rocks and soils containing fluoride. Groundwater wells within the Guelph/Eramosa Township are especially rich in fluoride. Levels are currently below the guideline as set out under Regulation 170 of The Safe Drinking Water Act.

Arctic Report Card numbers reveal a situation that is grim – both from the perspective of the ice levels and temperatures with the former decreasing substantially and the latter increasing more than the global average increase.
The report card for the north pole was issued by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) wherein it noted that the average temperatures over the Arctic land mass reached its highest point in the observational record, a 3.5°C increase since 1900. The report pointed out that this increase in temperature is causing more ice to melt thereby bringing the ice cover as well as snow levels to their lowest this spring.
NOAA also pointed out that one of the worst affected is the Greenland ice sheet that has seen substantial mass loss his year. Further, sea surface temperature in August was 5°C above the 1982–2010 average in the Barents and Chukchi seas and off of Greenland's east and west coasts.
Another problem affecting the Arctic is its inability to regrow the ice at a rate higher than the melting. This issue is compounded by the fact that warmer weathers make it impossible for the ice to accumulate and this in turn causes more melting posing a major risk to global sea ice levels.
Scientists point out that next year there will be greater melting across the board at the North Pole with the region having already cross the threshold. With changing conditions at the Arctic, there will be repercussions across the globe starting with the regions closer to the polar region presenting both challenges as well as opportunities.
Scientists who have studied the report car have said that the conditions at the Arctic are not only worrisome, but are likely irreversible and that there is an urgent need for bringing about massive changes in how we proceed in every aspect of our lives from now on.
With increasing temperatures, there will be opportunities for the region as well with opening of new avenues including resource development, commercial shipping, and tourism. Thanks to melting ice there was a bumper Arctic Ocean productivity by springtime.
All in all, the report car puts in front of us a scientific background based on which we can develop responsible adaptation strategies that will help us in the short as well as long run.

More than one million people came to London today to witness the royal wedding.
An estimated 500,000 people flocked to the Mall alone - the tree-lined boulevard leading to Buckingham Palace - to get a glimpse of Prince William and Kate Middleton while they kissed on the balcony.
During the day, ten crowd members were arrested as 5,000 police officers created a ring of steel around the royal wedding.
The suspects are being questioned for a number of offences such as breaching peace, handling stolen goods, assault and possessing an offensive weapon.
An abandoned car was also inspected and cleared in Westminster before the ceremony went ahead. Scotland Yard explained that the arrests were made "within and outside the event footprint".
Crowds along the streets surrounding the abbey were separated from the road along which the royal couple travelled by two sets of barriers several feet apart.
Transport for London said that Westminster Tube station was closed to prevent overcrowding.
Watch the earlier procession route back to Buckingham Palace below:

A vintage find!
This necklace will be added soon to my site. It's a vintage (1950's) necklace from Japan that was modified into a single strand...(looks better as one strand) and is still strung on its original thread! The only modification made was to the clasp and a bow (optional) was added. There is only 1 available!

Phoenix Right Turn Bike Accident Attorneys
Right-Turn Bike Crash
- Have you or a loved one recently been involved in a bicycle accident?
- Did the collision involve a car, truck or other motor vehicle?
- Was the motorist turning right at the time?
- Were you injured as a result?
If so, then you have the right to pursue legal action against the at-fault driver. But you're going to need representation, and Breyer Law Offices, P.C. can help. For two decades, the Husband & Wife Law Team of Mark and Alexis Breyer have fought for bikers who have been seriously injured by another person's negligence. We have seen the damage a careless driver can have on an unsuspecting cyclist and are prepared to hold drivers accountable for their negligent actions.
Just call (602) 267-1280 or use the form found on this page to schedule your free consultation.
Why Do I Need an Attorney in Phoenix?
The sooner we are able to begin collecting evidence and assembling your case, the better chance you'll have at obtaining the optimal outcome. Remember – the state of Arizona maintains a statute of limitations that requires you to file a personal injury claim within a certain amount of time. Failure to do so can mean a total loss of compensation, so time is of the essence. Call today and our team will meet with you here at our office or wherever is most convenient for you.
What Is a Right Turn Bike Collision?
When it comes to bicycle accidents, there is nothing more dangerous than a car suddenly turning into a cyclist's path of travel. A right turn accident occurs when a motorist pulls along side, or slightly ahead of, a bicycle rider going in the same direction and takes a right hand turn without warning. Such accidents usually happen quickly and without proper turn signal notification. In these situations, the cyclist has only a fraction of a second to react and, in most instances, it is already too late. Bike riders often plow into the side of the turning vehicle and end up suffering serious, if not catastrophic, wounds in right turn accidents. These kinds of accidents can be particularly deadly due to a vehicle's close proximity to the bike rider.
What Kind of Compensation is Available After a Bike Crash?
Right turn collisions can be quite dangerous. The resulting damages are often extensive and require considerable recovery. However, every accident is different and what damages you may be owed depends on the situation. What was the motorist doing at the time of the accident? Were they intoxicated? How fast were they traveling? What kind of injuries did you suffer? These are all questions that will ultimately play into your settlement.
While every case is different, and amounts awarded in a settlement will vary, there are a number of physical and emotional categories that settlements tend to cover. These can include:
- Hospital and doctor bills
- Physical therapy
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Wrongful death

Our Phoenix bicycle accident lawyers will arm you with the information you need to make an educated decision about your legal goals.

The common name for calcium hydroxide is slaked lime. Calcium hydroxide, a white powder, is created by mixing water with lime and is poisonous if swallowed, according to MedlinePlus, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Examples of products containing calcium hydroxide include cement, industrial solvents and cleaners. It can also be found in many construction products, such as flooring strippers and brick cleaners. Other names for calcium hydroxide include caustic lime and lime milk. If calcium hydroxide gets in a person's eyes or on the skin, protocol is to flush or wash with water for 15 minutes. When caustic lime swallowed, water or milk should immediately be ingested unless the person is vomiting, having convulsions or is showing signs of decreased alertness and inability to swallow.
