Planned Parenthood - Public Enemy #1Five videos released by the Center for Medical Progress showing planned Parenthood executives discussing the sale of fetal body parts have unleashed a firestorm that shows no sign of abating. Indeed Tuesday another video is expected to make its way into the public consciousness challenging conventional wisdom and calling for the de-funding of Planned Parenthood by the federal government.
But no one should be fooled into thinking that Planned Parenthood is going to walk away from 500 million dollars without a fight. It has already hired a major public relations firm to deal with the fallout. Its success can be seen in the silence of the big 3 television news networks. ABC, CBS and NBC all have quarantined the story. The standard line is that the videos are heavily edited (not true, one can watch the unedited versions on the CMP website. The next line is that PP only does 3% of its business on abortions. A nifty video put out by Students for Life of America puts that argument to rest in short order. Planned Parenthood leaders claim PP is only getting "reimbursed for costs. Another SFLA video destroys that argument. Finally the leadership at PP has been claiming that the people behind the videos are evil extremists. That is so absurd. The fellow behind the videos is 26 years old and was not even born in those days of rage. So much for the pot calling the kettle black.
So here are my thoughts as we look at week 6.
Expect the debate to get uglier.
Expect more in the media to finally have their "come to Jesus" moment.
Expect the Washington insiders to try to muzzle it again. They are very frustrated. and this includes some who are suppose to be on our side. In fact unless GOP leadership gets an earful during this recess, they will do nothing when they return. Many are truly afraid of PP. It is critical that your elected representatives know you will hold them accountable if they do not do EVERYTHING in their power to de-fund PP.
Expect the media to continue its blackout of the story. Note the media likes diversions. Two weeks ago it was Cecil the lion. Last week it was Trump. Look for them to find something this week to distract the public.
So what do we do.
It was the social media, including Facebook and Twitter that has delivered a staggering blow to PP. It still has not figured out the truly guttural anger and outrage of the American people toward PP and its actions.
1. Keep talking and writing about it.
2. Participate and join in any public protest against PP. The next nationwide event is AUGUST 22 in front of a local PP abortion mill in your home town.
3.Call your elected representatives and voice your outrage that PP is getting funded at all (especially when the government is broke).
4. Contact your local right to life organization and make sure you are getting the latest in information. Sign any legitimate petitions to stop the funding of PP by state or federal governments.
6. Speak to your priest, pastor, minister, rabbi or preacher and ask him to mention the current scandal. Inform him of what is happening in your state. ask him to have the congregation pray for an end to abortion.
7. Participate in the social media and comment on the various websites and blogs. always act and write charitably. We are seeking the conversion of the lost.
8. Know what is happening. do not speculate. READ up on the latest. Know the talking points. Again SFLA has some great links to bring you up to date.
Here are a few.
1. The videos speak for themselves. The PP executive is talking about body parts. That is proof of the child's humanity.
2. The ends never justify the means. "killing" a baby to help research so we can save lives. . Do you not see the craziness of such a position. Kill a healthy child to help save another - are we nuts!
3. The PP executives are haggling over price.
3. The Stem Express paperwork and promotional material clearly promote a profit motive for the "clinic."
4. The lawsuits do not prevent CMP from publishing the videos that do not involve Stem Express or NAF.
5. The videos show in all their starkness that abortion kills a human being.
There are points more but these are the clearest.
Finally what Planned Parenthood and its minions have relied upon is the short attention span of the public. It is crucial that the story remain in the public eye. Only our efforts will make that happen. And every day that the story continues to be discussed provides another opportunity for lives to be saved.

Last Wednesday, TalkTalk fell victim to a large-scale UK cyberattack.
By using what appears to have been a 'distributed denial of service attack' followed by an 'SQL injection attack' the hackers are reported to have downloaded the sensitive information of millions of the telecoms company's customers, including their dates of birth, addresses, bank account numbers and sort codes.
In addition to the reputational damage it is suffering, TalkTalk is facing the costs of replacing customer credit cards and providing complimentary credit monitoring, as well as numerous potential claims for damages.
TalkTalk's CEO has stated that the financial information that the hackers appear to have taken is not on its own enough for them to access customers' bank accounts; credit card details taken by the hackers were "tokenised" (a security measure whereby some numbers are replaced with asterisks).
However, the bank account information is enough to leave victims open to scammers and identity fraud. This could potentially prove costly in light of the Court of Appeal's recent decision in Google v Vidal-Hall & Others that customers can bring a claim for compensation for distress under the DPA even where there has not been any pecuniary (financial) loss.
Google Inc v Vidal-Hall & Others (2015) | Damages for distress under the DPA
Section 13 of the DPA provides that an individual who suffers distress due to a company's breach of that Act can claim compensation for distress if the individual also suffers damage by reason of that breach. This has been a problem for claimants in the past who have struggled to demonstrate that the relevant breach caused them financial loss.
However, in Google v Vidal-Hall & Others, the Court of Appeal found that it would be "strange" if European data protection legislation could not compensate those individuals whose data privacy had been invaded … so as to cause them emotional distress (but not pecuniary damage)." Accordingly, and creating a significant development in data protection law, the Court ruled that financial loss was not necessary for individuals to claim compensation in respect of distress under the DPA.
The ongoing TalkTalk revelations are a reminder to businesses to ensure that their security measures and business practices are optimised for the types and volumes of personal data which they process, and that these are reviewed regularly.
As the ICO advises, "there is no 'one size fits all' solution to information security. The security measures that are appropriate for an organisation will depend on its circumstances, so businesses should adopt a risk-based approach to deciding what level of security is required".
The ICO's enquires surrounding the TalkTalk breach and the security measures the company had in place to safeguard personal data are ongoing.

By Terence Lee
On July 29, 2017, EqOpTech hosts a fourth tech talk in a series of Speaker/Workshop for students interested in the tech fields. The tech talk features Magdalene Lim, a backend software engineer from LinkedIn. She is quite new to the industry, having graduated from college in 2015. She hopes to inspire others to try coding and truly believes that everyone has the capacity to do it.
Personal journey to becoming a software engineer
Our speaker, Magdalene, a recent Cal graduate with a CS degree and having worked at both Amazon and LinkedIn, was able to relate to the younger audience about her journey and challenges in her quest to pursue a high-tech career as a female engineer. In that regards, she delivered some very valuable information to our audience.
Magdalene described the challenges in getting admitted to a CS program at one of the nation's top university and thus giving hope to those in the audience with similar aspirations. Given the highly competitive CS program at Cal, she shared how important it was for her to be able to seek the help of professors and upper classmen to help as she struggled and competed among other classmates who were much more tech savvy than her.
Through hard work, determination and the ability to seek peer support, she was able to overcome her initial doubts and succeed in pursuing her career goal. She also graciously shared with the audience her transcript that despite not having a perfect GPA, she was able to obtain an internship at a highly desirable company where competition is fierce for the few available positions.
Internship Tips For College Students
Getting the first internship was not an easy task as she showed that it took sending out hundreds of resumes just to get a few reply but it was through hard work and persistence that she was able to land her internship position at Amazon.
She gave valuable insights as to how to prepare for a highly technical interview and provide reference to a book that helped her tremendous. These are especially valuable for those seeking future internships as these tips are not usually taught at college.
Magdalene talked about how the internship gave her an opportunity to experience Machine Learning and how it did not appeal to her interest as she had initially anticipated and how she had redirected her career choice to her current position at LinkedIn. This is a very valuable lesson for the audience as it emphasize the importance of not being afraid to experiment and then change course, if necessary, in one's pursuit of aligning one's career choices with one's passion.
Work Life Balance
Magdalene also pointed out some of the rewards and perks for working in the high-tech industries such as the free snacks and also the freedom to have the ability in pursuing other interest and hobbies while keeping a highly demanding career. The example that Magdalene gave of her friend pursuing his dance passion was excellent in showing that there is life beyond work, sharing the concept of "we work to live, and not live to work".
Computer In A Box Workshop
Following the Tech Talk, EqOpTech hosted a Computer In A Box workshop to revive and reuse older laptops as a learning tool to enable needy students with an "equal opportunity" access to the cloud (eg. Google Drive) and to minimize unwanted computers going to e-waste. The Los Altos School District has generously donated its first and second generation old White MacBooks to EqOptech.
The EqOpTech tech team leads both the Los Altos High School, Egan Junior High School EqOpTech school club members and MVLA Scholars to not only refurbish each laptops to its full functionality but also dives into the latest technology to give the old laptops a new life via a Linux/Mac Dual Boot.
The Best of Both Worlds: Dual Boot with a Dual Mission
By installing a second Linux operating system into an old MacBooks or Windows Laptop, students are now able to access the latest Google Applications and other cloud applications. The Linux dual boot not only allow access to the latest tech applications but also boosts system performance of older laptops so that they are usable. The service project not only inspires students to give back to the community, it also empowers and enriches participants' computer engineering skills while helping other students in need.
"Quiet Hero" Award - Jefferson Award
EqOpTech Founder, Terence Lee has been recognized as a "Quiet Hero" for his nonprofit work by the Jefferson Award Foundation. The Jefferson Award is a Nobel Prize for public and community service by ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition or reward.
During the workshop, CBS/KPIX reporter crew Sharon Chin and Jennifer Mistrot conduct an interview and video shoot of our Founder, Santa Rita Principal, a Santa Rita 5th grader who is a refurbished laptop recipient and a workshop participant. Visit here for the Jefferson Award story.
Our Equal Opportunity Technology program is made possible thanks to Los Altos Community Foundation community grant award.

(No longer in theaters)
Comedy, Romance
Michael Roiff
Fox Searchlight Pictures
Release Date
May 2, 2007
Release Notes
Official Website
More than anything, I wish I could write about the boisterous romantic comedy Waitress without reference to the tragic murder of its writer, director, and co-star Adrienne Shelly. It's hopeless, though. Because the movie is so hit-and-miss, I kept getting thrown out of it and returning to thoughts of its makerof what must have been her busy inner life, her evident joy in making movies, and her potential, down the road, to develop an authentic American voice and make wonderful screwball farces.
Waitress centers on a creative and enthusiastic small-town pie-baker (Keri Russell), who's marriedrather inexplicablyto a brute (Jeremy Sisto) and who gets thrown into emotional chaos when she finds herself pregnant. The baby is an alien, a parasite, an agent of her husband. But she won't get rid of it. And her new OB-GYN (Nathan Fillion) is smittenwhich means weekly and sometimes daily visits to his office. The ping-pong dialogue seems more suited to the stage than the screen, but Fillionstar of Joss Whedon's neat sci-fi series Firefly and its movie, Serenityhas the perfect dopey haze, and during his scenes with Russell, some old-fashioned movie magic takes hold.
Shelly's staging is pushy, and the film doesn't look very goodthe lighting does the actors no favors. But the climax, in which the heroine finally regards her little girl, is wrenching for all kinds of reasons. I think of Waitress as an overstuffed, overcooked pietoo ungainly to eat all of, too generous to pass up, too heartbreaking to contemplate for long.

with Dennis Willmont
Saturday-Sunday, June 23-24, 2018
10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
The "Pivot Functions" of the Gall Bladder Meridian can be used to balance many Yin-Yang Polarities, of which the Inside/Outside Polarity used for the invasion of Pathogenic Qì is only one. In addition, and mostly unknown to the acupuncture profession, are major polarities for balancing the Body, Mind, and Spirit.
These form the basis for Fulfilling the Inner Potential of Destiny according to the Three Levels of Healing established by Táo Hóngjǐng. In addition, they also include a detailed map for balancing the psycho-physical aspects of the brain that takes psycho-emotional healing to an entirely new dimension. This course explores these possibilities through a study of the pointnames and their connection to the energetics and functions.
This course covers the following:
- Discusses the pointnames of all 44 points of the Gall Bladder Meridian.
- Breaks the meridian down into its individual segments,
- As well as its physical and psycho-emotional categories.
- Shows how these points are also related to the development of the higher self for a deeper healing to occur.

Lynx celebrate Robinson's 60th
Barrier-breaking infielder's number retired, former teammates on hand
July 25, 2006 3:49 PM
The Ottawa Lynx turned back the clock on Sunday, all the way back to 1946, an historic year for the International League and for baseball in general. That year, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American player to play professional baseball with white players, when he suited up for Branch Rickey's Montreal Royals of the International League. He would make his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers the next season.
For being such a pioneer and an idol for the ages, Major League Baseball retired his No. 42 in 1997. Now that number is immortalized on the outfield wall at Ottawa Lynx Stadium as part of a heartfelt tribute put together by the Lynx organization.
The stars of the day were two of Robinson's teammates from that 1946 season, as season in which the Royals won the Governors' Cup and Robinson would hit .346 and steal 25 bases.
George "Shotgun" Shuba is often best remembered for his symbolic role in breaking the color barrier. Shuba was captured in a famous photograph, shaking hands with Jackie Robinson at home plate after Jackie hit his first home run as a Royal. Jean-Pierre Roy was perhaps the anchor of the Royals pitching staff. In 1945, he won 25 games, and pitched complete games in both games of a doubleheader. Before the game, the two gentlemen met with Lynx season ticket holders and the media. They also addressed the crowd on-field after Robinson's number was unveiled during a pre-game ceremony and signed autographs for fans at the start of the game.
The pre-game ceremony was led off by 24 children, members of the Jr. Lynx Club and local little leaguers, filing onto the field, each wearing Royals shirts with the numbers of players from that 1946 Royals team. Two young boys, with the help of Shuba, re-created the famous handshake of 60 years ago as the young boy wearing Robinson's number rounded the bases, shaking hands with the boy wearing Shuba's number at home plate. Then, just as he did 60 years ago, Shuba stepped in and shook hands with "Jackie Robinson."
Then Randy Mobley, International League President, joined Shuba and Roy on the field to talk about how important Jackie Robinson is to baseball, to the IL, to thousands of baseball players who have followed him and to themselves. Robinson's No. 42 was unveiled on the right-field wall of Lynx Stadium to a standing ovation.
Shuba and Roy delivered the ceremonial first pitch to the two Jr. Lynx members wearing their numbers. Russell Martin, father of Dodgers catcher of the same name, played the American and Canadian national anthems on the saxophone.
During the game, the Lynx came out in replica jerseys and caps in the style of the 1946 Montreal Royals. Even the Lynx batboys wore old-fashioned uniforms. The players' jerseys were auctioned off in a silent auction and raised approximately $7,500 (C)for local children's charities. Many of the kids from the pre-game ceremony also read highlights of Jackie Robinson's career over the PA system between innings.
The home crowd was sent home happy, as the hometown Lynx did the old Royals proud, defeating Norfolk 8-3.

2nd Neurosurgical Boot Camp
The 2nd Neurosurgical Boot Camp
The Department of Neurosurgery, Liaquat National Hospital
Salman Sharif, Noorulain Iqbal
The aim of the department of neurosurgery, Liaquat National Hospital is to provide a quality standard of neurosurgical practice that can be taught and followed throughout the country. Keeping the tradition of training the young neurosurgeons of Pakistan, the 2nd Neurosurgical Boot Camp was organized in collaboration with the Asian Congress of Neurological Surgeons, World Federation of Neurological Societies, International Federation of Neuroendoscopy, Middle East Spine Society, World Spinal Column Society, and Pakistan Society of Neurosurgeons. The boot camp was planned with the help of structure provided by the neurosurgical Boot Camp committee of American Association of Neurosurgical Surgeons. The workshop was designed to introduce important principles of neurosurgical care to the young neurosurgeons, which included hands on lab sessions along with lectures on professionalism, communications, and basic procedural skills.
Dr. Aamir Saghir (LNH), started the day with introducing the aims and objective of the neurosurgical boot camp. Dr Mazar Hussain (LNH) taught the young trainees the emergency evaluation and management of hydrocephalus. This was followed by lectures on Emergency assessment of neurotrauma, spine, and cranial and spinal radiology by Dr. Aneela Darbar (AKUH), Prof Douglas Orr (USA), Prof Gregory Trost (USA), respectively. By giving pearls for residency, Prof Salman Sharif (LNH) motivated the young neurosurgeons on professionalism. An overview on subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial pressure assessment and management was given by Dr. Azam Ahmed (USA) and Dr. Iype Cherian (Nepal). An interactive talk on Patient Safety and Clinical communications was run by Prof Trost and Prof Orr. Dr. Mohsin Qadeer (PAK), gave a talk on making the incision. Prof. Khalid Mehmood (PAK), and Prof Sait Naderi (Turkey), ended the morning session with case scenario discussions on unstable neurosurgical patients.
After the much needed tea break, the neurosurgical residents were escorted for the hands on lab session on bed side neurosurgical procedures, equipment and craniotomy skills. On the other hand, the medical students continued with more lectures. A clear perception of options in neurosurgery nowadays was given by Prof Trost. This was followed by Prof Azam Ahmed talking about what's new in Neurosurgery. This small session ended with Dr. Aneela Darbar speaking to the medical students on why neurosurgery.
After the lunch break, the medical students had a hands on lab session for burrhole craniotomy supervised by Prof Iype Cherian. The session on Training the trainees, started off with Prof Zileli (Turkey) talking about its importance. Prof Paulo Periera talked on how to be a good scientist and a teacher. Then a lecture on How to talk effectively, usage of visual and audio tools, presentation techniques were given by Prof Trost, Prof Azam, and Prof Zileli respectively. An interactive discussion of ethics and empathy with case scenarios was done by Prof Orr and Prof Trost collectively. Further, lectures on how to research and the reasons for paper rejection along with statistics for dummies were given by Prof Trost, Prof Sait Naderi ( Turkey) and Prof Orr respectively. And then Prof Peev ( Belfast) talked about the principles to measure and evaluate learning levels. The day ended with certificate distribution to the participants along with souvenirs presented to the faculty. Finally the participants and faculty had the chance to interact and enjoy the windy evening at the dinner at Golf Club.

#RunningWilde Ch. 45 | You Can Run
I see something in you, I know that it's crazy 'cause girl I just met you
But we joining forces 'cause that would be gorgeous, no girl, I won't let up
I just rolled the dice so no more thinkin' twice, destiny she won't fail us
If you feel what I feel can you just keep it real
Baby, it ain't no pressure
Glock Six
Aiden swerved into the car park of the diner and sprung out of the car before it had even come to a complete halt. He bolted down the narrow alleyway on the side of the restaurant, where he'd last left her, hoping to see a coil of candy pink hair, praying that Mighty's technologically enhanced iWatch on his wrist was wrong.
"Ava-Marie?" he called into the still of the night when he saw no signs of her. He gritted his teeth and looked back at his wrist. The green pulses of his sonar tracker showed Ava miles away, so far that he couldn't estimate how long it would take to track her down.
His heart tremored uncomfortably.
She really was gone.
He sprinted back to the car and took off in the opposite direction he was meant to go, back onto the M1, pushing the engine well over the speed limit as he dialled a number into his latest burner phone.
"Mighty?" his breath rushed out of him the moment the ringing stopped.
"Boss, you okay?" Mighty frowned into the receiver. The unfiltered concern in his tone made Aiden clear his throat and take a slow, hushed breath.
"Ava-Marie is missing." He said steadily, "The tracker shows her miles away on the M1. She's moving fast. She has to be in a car. Before I do anything, I need to know what kind of car."
"You think feds got to her?"
"I hope not. Find her coordinates and access the cameras so I know what I'm dealing with."
"I'm on it."
Deft fingers clicked frantic rhythms across the keyboard.
The silence on the line that followed felt like saying goodbye to an old acquaintance, then walking in the same direction and realising that you might have to hold another awkward conversation. "It's just loading now." Mighty filled it.
More silence.
"The M1 has a lot of cameras, so you know…"
Even more silence.
"Almost done."
Aiden didn't bother to reply. He was tightly wound as it was and this unnecessary small talk with Mighty was only winding him up further. He wanted answers, not idle chit chat.
"I've got eyes on her," Mighty said finally, his voice lighter, "Good news, she's not in a police car, so we can rule that out."
Aiden almost relaxed into his seat. "Bad news?"
"It's not necessarily bad…it's…interesting. The Lockewood girl is alone."
"Alone?" he frowned. He was sure that if she wasn't in a police car then she must have hitched a ride, after all she was a sheltered rich girl and it was the most naïve option, so he didn't imagine she'd do anything else -except, it appeared she had. He pinched the bridge of his nose. Why was this girl set on making a complicated situation even more complicated that it had to be? Once again, he was trying to avoid the police, but now instead of picking her up and getting the hell out of dodge as he'd planned, he had to chase after her to stop her from fucking up what little progress they'd made.
"Yes. Alone. And she's singing."
Ava sped down the motorway and screeched The 1975 at the top of her lungs. Her voice sounded like a drunken parrot, and did the song more harm than good, but she didn't care. It felt good to lose herself in her musical interlude and pretend she was just a university student obsessed with Matty Healy again. It felt good to head bang and do poor air guitar impersonations like she used to do with her friends back in their dorms as they were getting ready for a night out.
"He's got his gun. He's got his suit on. She says, 'Babe, you look sooooo cooooool_"
A horn blowing at her from the car in the next lane snapped her out of her concert.
She immediately stopped dancing and screeching and sat up straight, pretending that she had never been doing that, because despite what she was singing, she looked far from cool.
Her head snapped to her left. "No fucking way!"
There he was, Aiden, keeping pace alongside her. Livid. She felt all of the lightness rush out of her stomach and her body grow heavy with the weight of the shackles she thought she'd broken free of.
"Pull over. Now!"
"No," she whispered to herself. She slapped her palms against the steering wheel, "No, no, NO!" She hit the wheel even harder, then glared accusingly at the skies, "I was free!"
She smashed her foot down on the accelerator and the Volkswagen lurched forward.
Aiden's jaw tightened, "This gyal must think I'm ramping with her." He shifted gears pushed his car faster.
"One last chance. Pull over."
She gripped the steering wheel, gritted her teeth and muttered a string of profanities that Aiden couldn't make out, and leant forward as if sheer determination would enable her to outrun him, even though fate clearly had other plans for her.
He sighed and pushed his car faster than he knew the VW would go, thankful for the late night and empty roads. He swerved in front of her and swung his car around so that it sat horizontally, blocking both of their lanes.
Her foot slammed on the break and the tires screeched against the tarmac. Before she could think to swerve into the next lane, Aiden whipped out his gun and shot the front tires. He heard her curse words this time. It was a strange comfort. He'd grown used to her swearing at him as of late. He tucked his gun into his harness and marched over to her door, only to be met by the barrel of the gun he'd given her.
His eyes flashed. "Put it down before I put you across my knee," he growled.
She opened her mouth then closed it. It had been a while since he'd said anything remotely sadistic or had been this openly angry with her. It coaxed beloved unwanted memories to the surface.
She rolled her shoulders back, put her other hand on the gun and pointed it at his face, "How did you find me."
Bent at the waist, Aiden brought his face level to Ava's and looked past the gun. "You knew I would find you. You wanted me to."
She broke eye contact.
"I didn't want you to find me. I was hoping they'd kill you."
"No, you didn't." He moved closer. "You're mine, Ava-Marie," his eyes slid slowly down her neck to her rose gold collar, "So I will always find you." When they flicked back up to her, steeled with his solemnity, she swallowed. "Always."
His promise intertwined seamlessly with his threat and made her heart constrict…and flutter.
Ava flexed her fingers around the handle and pressed the tip of the barrel to the small gap between his brows. He didn't flinch. "I did. I made it this far without you, Aiden. I've proven that I don't need you. I can take care of myself."
"I can see that." Despite his anger, the corner of his mouth turned up into an almost smile. He carefully pushed the gun down. "How'd you get the car?"
She looked away, "I stole it." Her cheeks turned red at the thought of poor Roy deserted in the middle of the field.
His smile broke through in a full-on eruption of white teeth. "That's my girl," he said proudly.
"I'm not yours, Aiden," she sneered, lifting the gun back up, "I haven't been yours for a while."
He pushed it away with more force, and scoffed, "What? Because of your tantrums?"
Her eyes widened, "Tantrums? You think these are tantrums?"
"You think they aren't?" Aiden reached to open her car door and she hit the lock. He frowned, "Open the door."
"Fuck off," she glared at him.
He reached inside the car and flipped the lock off but the moment he let go she flipped it back. "This is exactly what I'm talking about. You're behaving like a brat."
"You're not taking me seriously."
"You're not doing serious shit." He kissed his teeth and reached in again, then yanked the door open before she could repeat her counter action. "Let's go."
"I stole a car_"
"So, you stole a car, big whoop! Now you're a criminal. Maybe now this means you'll finally get off of your holier than thou bullshit. Now can you come the fuck on, the police are coming."
She slumped forward and banged her head on the steering wheel, "This is exactly what I didn't want."
"So you stole a car?"
"Don't say it like I'm stupid!"
"Maybe if you didn't act like you were_"
She jumped out of the car and barrelled into him, driving hm back, her face contorted in fury, "How did you find me?"
"I knew you'd head back to London. That's what a stupid person would do."
"If you call me stupid one more time_"
He stood taller, "You'll what?"
As her gun went back up Aiden matched her action. She stilled. "We've both got guns, Ava-Marie," he tilted his head to the side, "Now what?"
She looked from him to his pistol, then scoffed. "You won't shoot me."
"You're getting on my nerves, and we both know how impulsive I am." He stepped into her gun. "But to be honest, I really would rather put you across my knee."
Ava edged back, her pulse spiking and her skin warming at second mention of it. "You wouldn't dare."

(3) There are less than 9,000 copies remaining of The Century Dictionary in its new one-volume form, but it is very doubtful if any of these will remain unsold by Christmas, The question now arises, at what price shall these remain ing sets of the Britannica and the Century, printed on India paper -- THE LAST THAT CAN EVER BE OFFERED -- be sold. I would be justified in asking a much higher price, not only because the India paper sets are so nearly exhausted, but because it is impossible to replace them. But I have decided that, as The Encyclopaedia Britannica is a great educational institution, every remaining set shall be sold at the same low price that I placed on it when I supposed that I could buy all the India paper I wanted and could print as many sets of The Encyclopaedia Britannica and The Century Dictionary as the public would buy. I am an enthusiast on the subject of India paper for large books of reference. The Encyclopaedia Britannica is at least five times as handy as the same books printed on heavy paper, and this moans that they will be used five times as frequently and therefore do five times as much good. Having taken so much interest in perfecting this idea, I an of course very much disappointed that I cannot print, asI had expected to do, an unlimited number of copies of the Brit annica and the Century on it, and in order that the public may not also be disappointed by applying TOO LATE for the sets that are left, I now give them FAIR WARNING to send in their orders without delay. //"l^v-'A- September 15, 1916.

Camping Adventures, 2017 {Personal}/
Every year, well, mostly every year, our family gets together for a camping adventure, that winds up being cold, rainy and some of the MOST fun we have together! We're kinda' silly. Maybe a little crazy. But we really enjoy our time, and there are always MANY laughs! And they're the good ones. The real deep belly laughs that drown out all the outside woes, at least for a few days. :)
We typically camp at Pokagon State Park, in Angola, Indiana, on Halloween weekend. The campground hosts many fun events for kids - and adults, including trick-or-treating through the campsites! The kiddos - and our sister's husband - dressed up for the festivities, and we enjoyed meeting new folks along the way! (make sure you check out those costumes below! ;) They're good ones!!) Not to mention, the fall colors were absolutely perfect this year!
We are always so grateful for these days, as they don't happen as often as we'd like. But despite the weather, and the distance that sometimes separates us, the adventure always keeps calling us back together, and these new moments sustain us, when we must part ways, until we all are able to meet again.

Time for me to get nostalgic about my first few posts and this was the very first, so if you missed it back in March (I started off writing reviews that were too short and cold–then realized they needed more length & warmth). So here it is again. How can you resist? I didn't think so either. Seriously though, this is one of my more sexy reviews. It has to be. Jeanne Moreau is the star and her middle name is Sexy. You're eyes and brain will thank you for it ….
Getting married in a picturesque French village? Then you might want to think of investing in a bullet proof jacket first. Our heroine is widowed within minutes of uttering "Je fais". The church steps splattered with hubby's blood. Yes, this is the Gallic equivalent of Dealy Plaza, Dallas November 22, 1963. Only difference is that no one knows who this dude is.
I tell a lie, his name is David Kohler and this is the story of Julie Kohler, his widow, wreaking vengeance on the five men who destroyed her life. Only one of them pulled the trigger, so actually four of her victims are innocent. Sound familiar? Apparently Quentin Tarantino stole this plot for "Kill Bill". But he's no Francois Truffaut and the less said about Uma Thurman the better. Francois Truffaut was one of William Irish's (aka Cornell Woolrich) greatest fans; he wrote a preface for an edition of the American writer's short stories.
There's just one problem. Irish's absolute tragic side totally eludes Truffaut. A critic wrote that this writer's endings did not put an end to horror, they prolonged it. Nothing comes close to Irish's universe of doom here. The glossy Hitchcockian treatment on display destroys that emotion and the "lost in advance" tone which emanated from this tormented soul. Mr Irish spent all his miserable life in a hotel room with his mother: homosexually inclined, he never found true love. He even used to dedicate some of his stories to his type writer.
I think Jeanne Moreau is the best thing since sliced bread and for me this is a classic haute couture thriller. Her wardrobe consists of a number of sleek black and white Pierre Cardin outfits. The whole story is carried by the weight of her pouting facial expressions and sizzling charisma. But she is totally trapped inside her pain too so don't expect many laughs. Unless you find it unintentionally funny and you won't be the first. The sheer boldness of her character trumps the sins of the script that scream for a damn good kicking.
(Wrong film, but who cares?)
OK, she only has to appear and the men fall at her feet, no particular people skills or genius is displayed. I can understand how viewers go:"How the hell did she know the names and addresses of these unknown assassins when the police don't?… how can she push a guy off a balcony and then sashay past all his party guests with no one batting an eyelid?" In other words it plays fast and loose with holes in the plot because you (the voters) will have to fill them in for yourself. This is meant to be a feast for the right brain. Not the wrong brain.
Neither deep nor logical, it glides along all fast-moving and fun. Particularly if you like to see lecherous Frenchmen get their comeuppance. "My wife doesn't understand me" moans the tall politician, a warm up remark before trying to seduce Julie K via the promise of an umbrella. In between leering at her legs he gives her this piece of practical wisdom: " If you don't take care of politics then politics will take care of you." I can't figure that one out either but it sounds smooth. Technically The Bride Wore Black is beautifully lensed in pastel-shades so this is worth a watch for all you cinematographers out there.
Music lovers will delight in Bernard Hermann's suitably melodramatic score too, so there are no complaints there. It really is tragic. My favourite line is uttered by her final victim. "Do you know why the Chinese never use this finger?" the artist asks, stroking his champagne soaked digit. She shakes her head, determined to resist his oily advances. "Because it's mine" he grins, unaware of what she has planned for him. It was a given that by the end of all this I was drenched in a whirlwind of whimsy. I need a cup of herbal tea and I need it now! Mademoiselle Moreau- we all want you old girl but emotionally you are too damned heavy.

Buried in a statement from FDA Director Dr. Scott Gottlieb was an interesting nugget regarding the enforcement plans.
The FDA can already seize the products that have been warned regarding their branding/marketing, based on the letters released last week. This would give an inspector visiting a store or manufacturing facility a framework for declaring a product as being in violation instantly.
"These steps will allow us to more effectively block the distribution and use of products that are ultimately found to be violative, including products that are misbranded because their labeling or advertising causes them to resemble kid-friendly foods,"
Gottlieb said Wednesday as art of the agency's Spring Agenda for upcoming regulatory plans.
Gottlieb said the agency will be establishing rules for the "administrative detention of tobacco products" encountered during an inspection. If an employer or officer of the FDA enters a store and sees a product they believe as being "misbranded or adulterated," such a rule would provide permission to seize it right then and there.
The move would put store owners and distributors at the same risk of manufacturers in relation to the sale of such products creating both product and financial loss.

Discussion in 'News And Current Events' started by iraniam, Dec 30, 2017.
Khamenei's Henchmen Have Murdered 3 Protesters in The City of Doroud in Lorestan Providence in #Iran Today. Human Rights Watch in Iran Reporting 6 People Have been Killed in That City So far. #IranProtests
I was wondering what was happening behind the scenes. Thank you for sharing iraniam.
Watching the images coming from the #iranprotests one point seems clear: the consumer technology that was credited with helping spread the 2009 election #Iran uprising is better & more universal now. Stopping its flow will be much harder- perhaps impossible- this time around.
Where #IranProtests occurred in the past three days?
It shows that information is freedom.
The Brave Iranian Women Have Always Been in Front Line Against #Iran Tyrannical Regime and They Built a Proud Legacy of Dissent since The Revolution of 1979 Until Today's #IranProtests of 2017. You Make Us To be Proud Iranian Again.
I'm surprised that the religious rulers are allowing these protests to continue. You wouldn't, for example, see this in China.
I wonder if there isn't some kind of power struggle happening behind the scenes, perhaps due to lost revenues from the low price of oil. Maybe the military and/or secret police are putting pressure on the mullahs to give them a bigger share of the pie.
Iranian people inside #Iran can no longer use internet to communicate with us out of IRAN. Telegram is closed and many news agencies out of IRAN are hacked by the regime. They are trying to isolate and cut Iran from the rest of the world.
please use the hashtag #IranProtests in Tweeter, Instagram, Facebook etc. this regime can no longer hide their bloody faces. not even by cutting our people off internet, not by jailing them, torturing them or even killing them. You cannot silent people by killing them.
"Donald Trump Doesn't Understand What's Happening in Iran"
"Young protesters are again covering their faces to bring down and burn effigies of Khamenei. And just like in 2009, both protesters and security forces are attempting to leverage social media for their benefit. The apps Telegram and Instagram have been temporarily restricted by the Iranian government amid this week's protests, the BBC reported."
Iran Protests Have Violent Night; At Least 12 Dead Overall
Thanks for keeping us informed. You have been ever persistent. Praying with you for the safety of all the protesters
Does praying help them?
can't hurt
It could if a fool only prays but has the capability to do something that does help.
Thank You my friend. Deeply appreciated.
He was only 13 years old. He was murdered by IRGC henchmen last night for protesting. Our hearts are broken.
Woman becomes face of Iran protests despite not being there
Tens of thousands of people have protested in Iran. Here's why.
By Marwa Eltagouri January 3 at 6:31 PM
I thought I would post the article since the "Iranian authorities have blocked access to social media and messaging apps that would allow demonstrators to organize, according to the New York Times.",
Thank You for your support.
Netizen Report: Iranian Authorities Are Blocking International Web Traffic and Messaging Platforms
Iran prosecutor blames CIA, Israel, Saudi for protests
Blaming the CIA and Israel I understand but why the Saudis?
Over 1000 people arrested and the university is tracking their students so they don't "disappear".
There was a big earthquake!
Iran's Dictator in 1989: "I Am Not Qualified."
"These were economic protests. They reflected deep-seated frustration with economic stagnation, mismanagement and corruption, and growing income inequality along with conspicuous concentration of wealth at the top. And their geography spoke to the expanding gulf separating large urban centers, especially the capital city Tehran, from smaller towns and rural areas—which correspond roughly to Rouhani's political base and that of his conservative and hardliner rivals, respectively"
Amnesty International Calls on #Iran To Immediately And Unconditionally Release The 31 Years Old Woman, Vida Movahhed Arrested on 27 December 2017 in Tehran For Engaging in a Peaceful Protest Against Compulsory Veiling. #دختر_خیابان_انقلاب_کجاست#IranProtests
She's an icon for resistance. They won't release her. This will probably be end horribly.
Great News: Vida Movahedi, The Iconic 31 Years Old Woman Who Was Arrested For Removing Her Headscarf to Protest The Compulsory Veiling Law in #Iran Has Been Released From Prison Today. We Wish Her Peace. #IranProtests

Today is our first day of filming at HubSpot's Inbound 2015 Conference at the Boston Convention Center! HubSpot never disappoints with its stellar line up of speakers and entertainers. Seth Godin, Brené Brown, and Aziz Ansari are just a few of the big names featured at Inbound this year.
Our task is to film roughly 100 talks over the next few days, in rooms of all sizes - from meeting rooms to ballrooms - with up to 7 of these talks running simultaneously. In each room, we're covering 3 angles: a static wide shot, a medium tracking shot, and a medium-close up from the side of stage. Our filmmakers will primarily be using cinema cameras and high-end DSLRs to give the edited videos the inspiring aesthetic of TED Talks. Of course good sound is still the most important component of video production, so we'll be running a direct feed from the soundboard into two audio recorders in each room, and using a mounted shotgun microphone for an additional level of coverage. Here's a video we shot last year at Inbound14:
Last year, we had an 8-person team covering 3 rooms. For this project, our team has grown to 18 videographers and 4 PAs!
We're looking forward to the exciting atmosphere at Inbound, all the amazing speakers, and the now-legendary parties that take place each evening at the BCEC and in the surrounding area in the Seaport District.

Zion National Park - a beautiful stunning park with Hiking Trails and Amazing Views
Zion National Park is a vast and beautiful area with steep cliffs, winding roads and breath-taking views – if you're willing to make the hike. If that sounds intimidating, please be reassured that there are several family-friendly trails, some of which are wheelchair accessible — so there are hiking opportunities for every level of experience. But if you're planning on tackling one of the more difficult hikes, make sure you are carrying enough water and food to keep you hydrated and energized.
One of the most popular trails is the Angels Landing Trail, which is accessible from the top of Scouts Lookout. Although the hike to Angels Landing isn't necessarily challenging, it is definitely steep and narrow. Nevertheless, the view from Angels Landing is exhilarating. You will be overcome by the scope of the lush green forests that spread along the base of the mountains. Alternatively, Scouts Lookout gives you an amazing view of the canyon with a shorter and milder hike.
If you're looking for an easier hike at a lower elevation, then check out Weeping Rock Trail. It's a short, leisurely hike that leads to an overhanging cliff where water trickles down to join pools of water below. Unique and easily accessible, Weeping Rock is a nice highlight amongst Zion's many trails.
Entrance Fees:
Private Vehicle: Valid for 7 days. - $30.00
Admits private, non-commercial vehicle (15 passenger capacity or less) and all occupants to Zion National Park, including both the Zion Canyon and Kolob Canyon areas.
Motorcycle: Valid for 7 days. - $25.00
Admits one non-commercial motorcycle to Zion National Park, including both the Zion Canyon and Kolob Canyon areas
Per Person: Valid for 7 days. - $15.00
Admits one individual (without car) to Zion National Park including both the Zion Canyon and Kolob Canyon areas, this is typically used for bicyclists, hikers and pedestrians. Youths 15 and under are admitted free.
A Shuttle Bus operates during the season:
Parking is limited inside Zion, and parking lots at the Zion Canyon Visitor Centre commonly fill by mid-morning. To avoid parking hassles, park in the town of Springdale and ride the free town shuttle to the park. You can park anywhere along the road in town that does not have a parking restriction. To find the shuttle stops look for the ''Shuttle Parking' signs throughout town. If you are staying at a lodge or motel, simply leave your car there and take the shuttle to the park. Tune your radio to 1610 AM for additional information.
How To Use The Shuttle System:
The Springdale Shuttle stops at nine locations in Springdale. The Zion Canyon Shuttle stops at nine locations in the park. The transfer between loops is made at the Zion Canyon Visitor Centre. You may get on and off as often as you like. Riding the shuttle is free. Buses are wheelchair accessible.
During the busy season the free buses run from early morning to late evening, as often as every seven minutes. Times and intervals change with the seasons. Current schedules are posted at each shuttle stop, at park visitor centres, and in the Map and Guide.
Take Your Time - Buses run frequently throughout the day, as often as every seven minutes. You do not need to rush to catch one. Take your time to plan your visit. Use the exhibits outdoors and the information inside at the Zion Canyon Visitor Centre to make the most of your time. Ranger presentations at the Zion Human History Museum are a great way to learn more about the park before you ride the shuttle up canyon. The bookstore has maps and publications that can augment your visit.
What to bring for a day trip on the shuttle:
- Water/Snacks-Walking Shoes/Map
- Sunscreen/Hat/Sunglasses
- Camera/Binoculars
- Flashlight or headlamp
- Dress for the weather and bring everything you need for a day in the park.
- Be sure to bring your Inter-agency Pass or Park Entry Receipt for re-entry into the park.
Zion is known for a wide range of weather conditions. Temperatures vary with changes in elevation and day/night temperatures may differ by over 30°F. In summer, temperatures in Zion National Park often exceed 100°F/38°C. Zion experiences monsoons from mid-July into September that results in an increased risk of flash floods. Always be aware of the threat of storms and lightning and be prepared for a wide range of weather conditions. Winters are generally mild.
Scenic Byway 12: Utah's All-American Road
Conveniently, Zion and Bryce Canyon are just an hour and 20 minutes away from each other. Travelling from Zion to Bryce Canyon you will drive through some amazing rock arches on the Scenic Byway 12 and took in the beauty of the surrounding Dixie National Forest and Red Canyon. The Scenic Byway 12 is an easy and quiet road with a beautiful landscape, which makes for a comfortable drive from park to park.

testimonials & reviews
Franklin, Wisconsin
"I wanted to tell you that my nieces thoroughly enjoyed the week at Swim camp, and loved Miss Heather.
They both said how much they would miss her, before we were even out of the parking lot.
On Monday, Krystal wouldn't even put her face in the water and by Friday she was going down the slide and swimming to the side independently!!
I am amazed at the improvement they both made during the week."

She chose a simple basket and filled it with 2 cloth napkins, a few favorite recipes hand-written on pretty cards, a cutting from an easy-to-grow ivy and she hand-painted a wooden spoon with our wedding date.
They are one of the most important people gift ideas for those who have it all in your wedding as they are responsible for setting the tone of the reception and keeping things on track.
This is sure to make their mouths water: a square basket filled with gourmet items.
So go and make the best wedding gifts into unique gift basket ideas.For the shower gift, I made the pew bows hooks and lattice discount code (six total) for a cost.There are many inexpensive gifts available for children, particularly at Christmas time.Check all the fine print, but this could work for you.I have found an alternative.Hire a photographer only for the actual ceremony and have some of your family members or a friend do the photography for the rest of the event.S home or maybe even a restaurant.Invite only your closest family and friends and not people that you haven?Use this search box to search for more unique wedding gift ideas.Lastly, one gift option I have used for a wedding shower gift is to purchase a casserole dish or cookie sheets, give one of your favorite recipes using that item and give them a sample.Don't forget your handmade wedding card or gift tag to go with your unique gift basket ideas.I used a round basket with a handle.The basket I would use for this would either be a picnic basket or a big strong basket with a handle, because these items will make the basket heavy and it's easier to carry with a handle.But framed pictures are just way too common.How about crayons and a coloring book (really cheap at Wal-Mart) or Disney Princess stuff-stickers, pretend jewelry (in the dollar section of Michael's) there are also fun Play Doh kits (one is on sale at Target this week).If you are short on time, ask for help.
One can purchase inexpensive gifts from various websites like Amazon or eBay.

Motherhood stories: Career and motherhood – "everything is a sacrifice"
Combining career and motherhood? For some women, this is an impossible task. Unsurprisingly, our own Safe Motherhood Week survey in 2016 found that 34% of women felt pregnancy/motherhood had prevented them from progressing in the workplace, while 14% said they had actively been discriminated against during pregnancy.
Jackie Ernst just wrote a soul bearing piece for Romper that outlines the internal struggles every women who wishes to work while raising her child faces. She freely admits that her career as a writer has taken a "back-burner" for practical as well as emotional reasons.
"My desire to spend every waking hour with my not-yet 2-year-old girl is as overwhelming as my desire to write. As overwhelming as the stress of trying to conquer my human limitations and be as present as any stay-at-home mom (SAHM) without sacrificing my identity as an autonomous woman with a successful and fulfilling career. Or even putting it on the back-burner."
For Jackie, the result is "constant exhaustion", and she says that "everything is a sacrifice".
"I stay up too late so I can get work done without losing a precious hour with my daughter. I swallow gallons of guilt for leaving my crying child in a caregiver's arms two days a week so I can sit in a café and write, or teach bored 18-year-olds how to write."
This overwhelming desire to over-achieve afflicts many mothers in today's fast-paced world, she says. "If you're not completely overwhelmed, you can't be doing a great job at anything, especially not mothering." And she understands she is far from alone: "In 2018, almost all women have to go back to work soon after having a child, and even those who don't face incredible pressure to prove their merit by working in the world as well as in the home."
Jackie harks back to her mother's advice: "Sit down and just be". As a busy mother, is this something you often forget? Did you feel pressure to continue to excel at your career, as well as raising your child? Share your story with us!

Emotions run high after a tragic event like the mass shooting that took place in Las Vegas on Sunday night. With at least 58 confirmed deaths and hundreds wounded, the motive of the killer, Stephen Paddock, is still not known.
What we do know is, Paddock had a large cache of weapons he used to fire on 22,000 concertgoers for almost 11 minutes before he took his own life as authorities began to close in. In the aftermath of such shootings, politics almost always enters the fray.
Republicans should not be afraid of having the conversation about gun violence and gun control. That said, it is difficult to have a conversation when Democrats don't offer any specific ideas about which there can be a discussion, or worse, when they're dishonest about the issue.
Some of the most oft-repeated phrases following a mass shooting are, "We must do something!" and "We have to act!" Such expressions make for great political fodder on television. The subtext is Person A is willing to do something while Person B wants to do nothing.
The problem with such rhetoric is that it doesn't allow for any debate. People need to put forward ideas. It doesn't mean people will agree, but at least at that point, there can be a discussion. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen often and when pressed, those shouting, "Do something!" don't have much of a clue what it is they want to do.
Earlier this week on MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-host Willie Geist asked Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., for specific ideas that would prevent a shooting as we saw in Las Vegas. Himes had nothing to say beyond mumbling something about universal background checks. Paddock passed all the necessary background checks to acquire his guns, so Himes' idea wouldn't have made a difference.
There can be no debate without reasonable ideas from Democrats. Merely shouting, "Do something!" is not a solution.
As for dishonesty, many Democrats claim Republicans overturned an Obama-era rule that prevented firearms from being sold to those with mental illness. That is not true.
The rule Obama put in place requires the Social Security Administration to forward the names of all Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit recipients who use somebody to help manage their benefits due to a mental impairment to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It effectively denies them their Second Amendment rights and their right to due process.
Democrats claim it was the National Rifle Association that pushed for it to be reversed. While the NRA did support the reversal of the rule, so did the ACLU, the American Association of People with Disabilities, National Alliance on Mental Illness and the National Coalition of Mental Health Recovery, as well as many other groups. Not all people who have mental illness are a danger to themselves or others. The ACLU's strongly worded letter makes clear why the regulation ran afoul of civil liberties.
What if Donald Trump put a rule in place saying the same people could have their social media and email accounts shut down (First Amendment), their homes searched without a warrant (Fourth Amendment) or their computers and phones taken away at will (Fifth Amendment)? How loudly would those same Democrats be screeching? There is no favor for one constitutional right over another. They are all to be respected equally.
The fact is, federal law still prohibits guns from being sold to those "committed to a mental institution" or "adjudicated as a mental defective." If Democrats want to "do something" they may have to look at making it easier for judges to rule on people being dangerously mentally ill, so they are prevented from purchasing firearms.
So by all means, let's talk about preventing what we saw in Las Vegas from happening again. But let's move beyond shouting "Do something!" to offering up concrete ideas. Let's also have an honest dialogue and stop resorting to falsehoods to advance a political agenda.
Let's hear it.

Disgruntled fans showed up at Raymond James Stadium yesterday, some carrying placards or wearing brown paper bags over their heads calling for the firing of Tampa Bay Coach Greg Schiano.
It didn't happen yesterday, a day after a lopsided nationally televised loss to the NFC South rival Carolina Panthers dropped the winless Buccaneers to 0-7 for the sixth time in franchise history.
Schiano said after Thursday night's 31-13 loss that he's focused solely on trying to turn his struggling team around.
Yesterday, he fended off questions about whether he still has the respect and support of his players. The Bucs have lost 12 of 13 games dating to last season and are 7-16 overall since Schiano left Rutgers in January 2012 to take over a team that dropped the final 10 games of 2011.
"Have I lost the locker room? No. Are they listening? Yes. Are we getting everything we need out of them? Well, obviously not because we're 0-7," Schiano said.
Fans chanted "Schiano must go'!' in the closing minutes of the latest loss.
RAMS, PANTHERS DRAW HEAVY FINES: The St. Louis Rams and Carolina Panthers drew a total of $47,250 in fines from the NFL for their chippy game Sunday.
Rams defensive lineman Chris Long received the biggest fine yesterday, $15,750 for unnecessary roughness for throwing a punch during a skirmish in the third quarter of St. Louis' 30-15 loss. Long was penalized and ejected after he was caught swinging his right hand at Panthers guard Chris Scott as players from both sides were pushing and shoving.
A pair of receivers � Carolina's Steve Smith and St. Louis' Brian Quick � were fined $7,875 for striking an opponent in the face. Also docked $7,875 were Rams guard Harvey Dahl for a late hit and Panthers safety Mike Mitchell for taunting.

Infinity Ward's shooter takes advantage of the Xbox One's Cloud service.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 20th, Aug. 2013 Under News
In Microsoft's pre-Gamescom press briefing, Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Ghosts on the Xbox One will have dedicated servers which take advantage of the Cloud.
The publisher also debuted a new map – Chasm – and a new mode – Blitz – for multiplayer. Dog soldiers, drone choppers, invisibility cloaks and other new features for multiplayer were seen, with Chasm taking place in the abandoned ruins of a city.
Microsoft revealed that there will be a Call of Duty: Ghosts premium console bundle, which include the game, an Xbox One, Kinect and exclusive bonus DLC, although it has not indicated a release date or price for the same. Call of Duty: Ghosts is currently slated to release on November 5th for Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC with next gen releases on Xbox One and PS4 also upcoming.
It bears the question as to whether there will be dedicated servers (albeit those that don't take advantage of the Cloud) on PS4.

Dust-Proof Your Home
Liz Queen of Clean
Any household cleaning tips would be remiss to not cover how to clear the dust in your home. Here's how to start cleaning dust from your home and where to look for it.1. Dust Mites
Toss throw pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, and curtains in the dryer on the "air fluff" cycle for 15 minutes to banish dust. (To kill dust mites, wash and dry with heat — water at least 130 degrees; the "high" setting on most dryers.)
2. Dusting Tips
- Don't use feather duster only spreads dust around.
- A clean paintbrush whisks dust from pleated lampshades, wood chairs, railings, and picture frames
- A blow-dryer on "cool" cleans books, knickknacks, and plants (real or not)
- Rubber gloves, dampened, sweep up pet hair from upholstery
- A clean white sock wipes closed mini blinds
- A slightly moist cloth attracts and traps dust; a dry one pushes it around. Plus, since dust particles are abrasive, dry rubbing can scratch furniture over time. A little water works fine, even on wood. The exception: Moisture and electronics don't mix (see chart below).
- Apply a small amount of polishing product to the cloth, then tackle the furniture. Spritz directly on surfaces, and you're likely to use too much, requiring extra buffing with a clean cloth (and buying polish more often). Fail to remove it all, and the smeary residue attracts more dust.
- Dust obeys gravity, so start by wiping the highest surfaces; let the dust settle, then work your way down.
Last, don't forget your upholstery — it's a major breeding ground for dust mites. How to deal: Use your vacuum's fabric attachment on all sides of the cushions as well as on the platform underneath. Sixty percent of household dust comes from outside — most significantly, from shoes. So have folks leave their footwear in the foyer or mudroom upon entering.
These are just a few household cleaning tips to capture and clear dust in your home. Do a scan with your eyes top to bottom and side to side and you'll find the other dusting hot spots.

What a great card this is!
I first saw the idea on Pinterest and just loved it so I came up with my own version.
There is nothing more to this card than three banners stamped on a Whisper White card base accented with rhinestones between each banner. The Happy Birthday is from Teeny Tiny Wishes (love that stamp set!)
My little tip is to use a stamp-a-majig to line up your banner perfectly. Stamp the middle flag first to fine the center of your card and then position the right and left banners as an easy way to keep the image centered. With handmade, though, always remember it really is OK if things aren't perfect. :)
Happy Stamping!

text: K's Story - Stratford General Hospital, Stratford April 07, 2018 2017 - I thought for years I could not have babies, so imagine my complete shock and the joy I felt when I found out that I was pregnant about a month and a half after my father passed away from cancer.I've suffered from anxiety and depression for the past 11 years and also have hypochondria, so add all of these things together while being pregnant for the first time and also single! I took two home pregnancy tests and both of them came back positive so, after just moving to the area, I needed to find a family doctor - thankfully I found one rather quickly and he is absolutely fantastic. Before I had my first visit with him, I started getting bad cramping which obviously sent my anxiety through the roof, so to the hospital I went. They booked an ultrasound for the next day and the lady who did the ultrasound was amazing, very friendly and great bedside manner. Well, the first question out of my mouth after she confirmed the pregnancy was " does everything look okay? Is the baby where it needs to be?" (i.e.: attached in the right location, etc.) She said that everything looked fine and I was only around 5 weeks pregnant.Fast forward a few months and I had the test for gestational diabetes, first round of testing was done too early... so I got tested again a few weeks later, the results came back a little high and so I went for a third round of testing which confirmed I had gestational diabetes. I got forwarded over to a doctor who deals with gestational diabetes and the diabetes clinic. The doctor always made me feel stupid and was terribly condescending and so was the nurse I dealt with there as well. Having anxiety and also being single with a limited amount of funds my anxiety was high when trying to change my diet even more than I already had. My OB was great and I had no problems with him, he was very good with answering my questions and actually listened to me when I spoke and thoroughly explained what the next steps were, etc. I kept going for ultrasounds and my daughter was measuring pretty big so he decided it would be a good idea to induce me two weeks early to try to avoid C-section. Unfortunately, he wasn't gonna be on call on the days I was to be induced so I'd be dealing with two other doctors I'd never met before. The method used to induce me was a drug called cervidil and it was horrendous, in my opinion. I went to the hospital and they inserted the medication around 8:30am. I was told to come back at 8pm. I wasn't dilating so I was sent home and told to come back again at 8am. They took out the first round and inserted a second round of cervidil. The one doctor I dealt with was very intimidating and made me feel like I was a waste of her time. I have a high cervix so being inspected a few times over the past couple days had now become painful and she got irritated and fed up with me because I couldn't stay still. She even had to give me laughing gas so they could insert the second round of medication. I started getting stronger contractions later that night and was hoping that I'd finally be dilating at least a little bit which would bring me some comfort to know that we were actually getting somewhere.Well, unfortunately I wasn't dilating again so I finally asked the doctor who told me again to not come back unless I'min full labour or my water broke until 8am the following day. "What are we gonna do at 8am tomorrow if I haven't started dilating?" Her response was "We can do another round of cervidil or back off inducing you" so that made me very, very confused. This lady was not my OB, I didn't know her at all, but my OB wanted me to be induced. My baby was measuring big and with gestational diabetes that makes it a high risk pregnancy, so in my head he wanted my daughter out, but here this lady is telling me that the baby doesn't want to come yet and it's too early to be inducing me, which didn't make sense. Why wouldn't my OB tell me that there was a possibility of not being induced and having her two weeks from then? Clearly my OB had his concerns but instead of talking to me and making me understand her reasonings she made me feel like it was her way or no way and that I was stupid. On top of being scared and confused I was having contractions for two days that wasn't dilating me at all so my body was just about done and I could not do cervidil another day if it was not working, I couldn't mentally handle it.So back home I go and I'm now having stronger contractions and terrible back labour. My water broke around midnight and I went back to the hospital, the doctor wouldn't come see me. She got the nurse to check the baby's heart beat and send me home and told me not to come back until I was in active labour. So I went home again scared and confused because now I'm scared about if I'm not dilating what's going to happen? What is the risk of infection now that my water broke? Is my baby going to be okay if I don't go into active labour by 8am? So around 5am I'm in full labour and in so much pain and terrified that I'm now getting sick and couldn't handle any more. I go to the hospital and they then gave me laughing gas, morphine, gravol and a epidural. The doctor still seemed like she couldn't stand me but thankfully I was finally starting to dilate. They hooked me up to an IV and monitors and the nurses barely spoke to me over the next 12 hours. I got up to 9cm by 5pm that night and had stayed there for 4 hours without progressing any further. A different doctor came in and told me that she thought the baby's head was too big and that I'll have to get a C-section. I had my daughter via C-section at 6:50pm. Thankfully my daughter didn't have any complications because of the gestational diabetes and I was also fine, but the next day, the doctor who didn't like me came in and looked at my daughter and said "We had a hard time getting you here" and proceeded to tell me that I needed to make an appointment with her office. Confused and annoyed I asked "Why?" To which she responds "For your 6 week follow up" I was even more annoyed and said "No, I have my own OB and will follow up with him." She then gets an attitude and says "Well I was going over the notes in your chart and there's a doctor in Goderich who has been trying to get ahold of you over abnormal Pap tests!" I've never had a doctor in Goderich so I told her that. She then gets even more pissy and tells me "Well that's how we check for cervical cancer!" and walks out. Now my anxiety is through the roof especially when someone mentions the word cancer to me as I've lost loved ones to cancer and I just had a baby - last thing I want to think about is having cancer especially by a doctor who I feel hates me. I asked the doctor who delivered my baby to get more information about what that doctor was talking about. When that doctor came back she told me that the other doctor had me mixed up with another patient. I can understand that we're all human and make mistakes but to give me attitude and make me full of anxiety over her mistake was uncalled for.With all that I experienced, I'm thankful for my daughter and the fact that she is perfectly healthy but I do believe that some doctors need to be more considerate of patients and treat them like human beings with emotions, like we're not just a number or an inconvenience.I personally feel like my emotions and concerns during one of the most life changing experiences I will ever have were completely disregarded and not taken seriously. I was petrified and confused because of conflicting things that were said and feel like I was a burden on that doctor. I feel like I wasn't taken seriously because of my age, the fact that I'm a young single mom who was having her first baby, and that I was alone without a partner while I was in labour.The only feedback I gave about my experience was to my OB and we discussed my options for the future if I ever have another child.
