Cauliflower health secrets
Cauliflower contains sulforaphone, a sulfur compound that has also been shown to kill cancer stem cells, thereby slowing tumor growth. Some researchers believe eliminating cancer stem cells may be key to controlling cancer and also use boost heart health, sulforphane in cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables has been found to significantly improve blood pressure and kidney function. Four scientists believe sulforaphane's benefits are related to improved DNA methylation, which is crucial for normal cellular function and proper gene expression, especially in the easily damaged inner lining of the arteries known as the endothelium.
Cauliflower contains a wealth of anti-inflammatory nutrients to help keep inflammation in check, including indole-3 & 13C, an anti-inflammatory compound that may operate at the genetic level to help prevent inflammatory responses at its foundational level and also have rich in vitamins and minerals to eating cauliflower regularly is a simple way to get these much needed nutrients into your body. For instance, one cauliflower contains 77% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C, it's also a good source of vitamin K, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, potassium, and manganese. These is very use for brain and good source of choline, aB vitamin known for its role in brain development. Choline intake during pregnancy "super-charged" the brain activity of animals in utero, indicating that it may boost cognitive function, and improve learning and memory. It may even diminish age related memory decline and your brain's vulnerability to toxins during childhood, as well as conferring protection later in life and cauliflower helps your body's ability to detoxify in multiple ways.

Our household is under attack - by a pretty nasty cold virus. The teenager came home sick after school last Tuesday, with fever, aches & chills, and a slight cough. By Wednesday he was severely congested and his fever hung around all day, but he seemed to be coming through it around dinner time. Thursday I let him try to go back to school, but he was simply miserable - the health office at school said he didn't HAVE to be picked up, but I did anyway.
Throughout this time I was using Lysol on everything, and doing my best to keep Baby Bobblehead away from his big brother, but it was not enough. Friday evening around dinner time, Bobblehead came down with a high fever (initially 103, but we got it down around 101 for the rest of the night). His fever just wouldn't break, even when we switched from tylenol to motrin. Finally, Saturday afternoon after a good sponge-down (which made Bobblehead SCREAM like you would not believe) his fever broke, and has not come back. But that night his congestion began, and it is just getting worse every day. This morning it turned to that glue-like mucous that is so hard to clean. Poor baby.
Of course, it was not long before Mommy got the bug, too. Now I am trying to care for a sick baby, clean my house for company coming this weekend for Easter, and fight this awful virus - all on NO SLEEP.
I want to call for reinforcements, but there's no one I can call! Normally my sister would come to my rescue, since she lives only 15 minutes away, but there's no way I would ask her to expose her three little ones to this horrible cold. And my mom lives about 20 minutes away; she normally could at least come hold the baby for awhile so I could clean/cook/rest/etc but she just had an angiogram 2 days ago and found out that she needs a double bypass, which the doctors are rushing to schedule ASAP - and in the meantime she's not allowed to do much of anything, because her heart attack risk is SO HIGH.
So, yeah, add the emotional roller coaster of facing my mom's mortality to my already overly long list of CACA right now.
And hubby can't help right now, since he is out of town for work. Not like he really helped that much when he was home on the weekend, but if he was here right now, I would MAKE him shoulder some of this burden.
I hate writing blog posts that are just complaining, but dang I am just so sick and tired of being SICK & TIRED! YUCK.
Let this be a reminder to everyone, even though Spring is here and we are not all shut-in indoors sharing our germs as much as we did in the Winter, you still need to be extra vigilant with handwashing!
In fact, now that I have just spread all these cooties all over my keyboard, I'm gonna go disinfect my laptop and wash my hands AGAIN. Then maybe I can squeeze in a short nap before baby wakes up coughing again.

Bad breath could be as a result of strong smelling foods, smoking, dry mouth,gum diseases/ some medical condition but the primary cause of bad breath is the bacteria that build up on the back of your tongue or between your teeth.
Not brushing or flossing daily, smoking or chewing tobacco products also contributes to bad breath with odour causing bacteria and food particles also key contributors.
A dry mouth, some medications and tract infections are also major causes of bad breath.
1. Brushing and flossing twice a day to get rid of food trapped in the mouth
2. Drinking water at intervals
3. Cleaning the tongue i.e after brushing or with a tongue cleaner
4. Eat mint leaves or chew minty gum to stimulate saliva production which helps to reduce halitosis
5. Rinse your mouth after eating and eat fruits rich in Vitamin C
Sometimes they could be a sign of an underlying disease/illness in which case the severity should be checked

In the last 30 years, the U.S. economy has shifted dramatically from manufacturing to information services. Along with this shift came an equally dramatic change in employee skill sets. Yet, there is a growing disconnect between the skills new workers bring to the workforce and the skills employers require.

I'm guessing you took it with a not-so "smart phone". I believe the metadata presents in in the correct orientation, but it probably gets stripped off when the photo is uploaded and that's could be why it falls over.

Man allegedly threatens woman with gun
WASHINGTON — A Washington man was arrested on gun-related charges Thursday after he allegedly threatened to kill a woman if she told police he had hit her.
Tazewell County Sheriff's deputies were called at 5:37 a.m. to the 1600 block of School Street in Washington in regards to a possible domestic dispute. The deputies were informed that a male at the residence, Benjamin D. Gross, 19, of the School Street address, had an active order of protection with an armed and dangerous notation, according to Tazewell County Sheriff's Department reports.
When officers arrived, a woman there said there was no fight, reports say, but when Gross was not present she said he had allegedly grabbed her by the throat and thrown her across the room.
According to the reports, Gross told officers that the woman had broken in and that he wanted her removed.
According to the reports, the woman said Gross allegedly pointed a revolver in her face and said, "If you talk, I'll bury you," when he realized police had been called. Officers found the gun in the home, reports said, and learned it had been reported stolen in Woodford County.
Gross was arrested on suspicion of aggravated domestic battery, aggravated assault, possession of stolen property, violation of an order of protection, unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated intimidation. Gross was taken to the Tazewell County Justice Center, where he remained under a $7,500 bond on Monday afternoon.
Police warn of roofing scams
BARTONVILLE — The Bartonville Police Department is warning residents to beware of roofing scams.
According to a press release from the department, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation in Springfield has established rules for professional roofing contractors to protect consumers from scams.
Homeowners should make sure to use a reputable licensed and insured company or individual, beware of special deals or incentives offered and check out the roofer — either by advertising, the Better Business Bureau or through the IDFPR — the release says.
Advertising by professional roofers must list the roofer's license number, the release says, and their trucks must be identified with the name of their company.
For more information, call the Bartonville Police Department at 697-2323.

Well 2013 is nearly over, but what a year it's been for us hobby fans. Games Workshop and Forge World have both really ramped up the release schedule this year and I think there has been some great new models in 2013. 2014 looks like it's off to a big monstrous start with the Tyranids getting an early January release. For myself I started my Iyanden Ghost army back in June and although it's been very slow going I'm pleased with what I have so far. The army as it stands needs more troops but with my house move and Christmas soon after I'm struggling to set up my airbrushing area and finding somewhere suitable for it. Once the decorations are down I'm sure I will be able to fit it in somewhere in our new home. But for now I've been struck with the Forge World pre heresy bug. I'm embarking on a Blood Angels army and as mentioned in previous posts I'm going back to using paint brushes for this project. You can follow its progress both here and on the BoLs forums hobby section. I will post some pictures there and more in depth posts here.
So my plans for 2014 will be more Iyanden and Blood Angels, but if neither of those armies paint schemes don't interest you don't worry. I plan to do one off models for other 40k armies and may even have a stab at some fantasy models too. I'm definitely open to requests so if you have any please feel free to suggest them. Paint schemes and technique requests would be great, but don't forget to mention if it's with my airbrush or paint brush you want the scheme painted in.
I would lastly like to say Happy New Year to you all, I've had some great support from many of the guys and gals in our online community. But I would especially like to thank Big Red over on BoLs for his support of my writing and it's his influence that got me blogging. Thanks Big Red.

I carry my MP3 player with me at all times because I don't want to have to see you (with her). I pretend it's an object of intense interest, that I can't take my eyes off it, and hear nothing else but the music.
You're not my problem, even though to some people it must seem that it's this heartbreak that has made me so sad and withdrawn. No, not really. But it's the salt rubbing on my wound. Reinforcing the very negative thought: "Nothing ever goes right for me. None of my wishes ever come true."
What really ails me? As always, it's my despair over my writer's dream. Being in particularly low spirits at this time, people have been asking me: "Are you okay?" I give no reply. Because my answer would have been: "No, I'll never be okay. I can just bear it and smile, except during times like now, when it becomes too much." And saying that would alienate them.
The few I've confided in think I over-dramatize, in saying that this pain is always with me. But it truly is. When other aspects of my life are bright and happy, I do bask in that positive glow, but at the same time the pain is still there. Ignored and bypassed as I choose to give myself over to the good feeling.
Right now, there's an absence of good feelings.
You wouldn't have been the answer to my problems, since you wouldn't have been able to make my writer's dream come true. However, you would have mitigated the pain. You could've made my days brighter. If I was the one beside you.
But I'm not and she is. So the pain is sharper than ever.
I'll just have to find another way to be able to bear it and smile.

Preserving Personal Security
Are you a person who has important duties which put you at a safety risk? If so, do not think you are alone. In fact, almost all important financial transactions are heavily guarded from point A to point B. An extreme example would be the armored money transfer trucks. You probably don't need anything like that. You may have occasions in public where you are wearing expensive jewels or you are displaying fine art. Should these occasions arise on a regular basis, personal protection is needed.
Finding security services is fairly easy when you take your time to do the research. It is only a matter or searching for professional security services Dallas area to find what is needed. There are services to help improve home and business security with various devices and personnel to monitor the devices, such as on-site cameras which need to be observed at critical times.
The experts can also provide the personal security needed for one or more people. Whatever the occasion for security is, there are excellent armed or unarmed guards available through the service. Either one or both that are needed will be the best in the business. With military and police backgrounds, these guards have the capacity to be efficient in any situation. Ideally, you won't have to need them in the long run. It is still good to have them on site.
In the event you are not too sure of which type of guard you should hire or how many of them, ask the service leaders about this. Describe to full situation and you can get a potential estimate. Since services may be large scale or small scale, expect to find a broad range of defenses available. You, your loved ones, and your business representatives deserve the best security in the Dallas area.

United States District Court, D. Kansas
November 14, 2017
RONALD BAKER, et al., Plaintiffs,v.TIM KECK, Interim Secretary of Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, and MIKE DIXON, Clinical Program Director of the Kansas Sexual Predator Treatment Program, Defendants.
First Amended Complaint alleged that the defendants were
violating plaintiffs' Fourteenth Amendment rights with
respect to conditions of confinement and treatment under the
Kansas Sexually Violent Predator Act (KSVPA), K.S.A. §
59-29a01. The court granted defendants' motion to dismiss
the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief
can be granted. (Dkt. 87). Judgment was entered the same
day.[1](Dkt. 88). The matter is now before the
court on plaintiffs' "Motion to Reconsider, Grant
Leave to Amend, or Clarify." (Dkt. 89).
Motion to Reconsider
motion asks for alternative forms of relief pursuant to
Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) and 15(a). It first argues the court
committed clear error by failing to consider the State of
Kansas's 2015 Post Audit Report regarding the Kansas
Sexually Violent Predator Treatment Program, and argues the
court should reconsider its ruling in light of that report.
(Dkt. 90 at 6-7). Plaintiffs argue the court's
"refusal to consider the Post Audit Report was a clear
legal error because this report is a public document of which
the Court may take judicial notice, " and "[s]uch
judicial notice is mandatory when considering a motion to
dismiss." (Id. at 7). If the court declines to
take judicial notice, plaintiffs ask the court for leave to
amend the complaint to add references to the Post Audit
Report and its contents. (Id. at 9-10). Plaintiffs
argue their proposed amended complaint, which is attached to
the motion, states a valid claim for relief. They also
contend that Karsjens v. Piper, 845 F.3d 394 (8th
Cir. 2017), which was cited by the court in its order of
dismissal, employed a due process standard different from the
Tenth Circuit's, and the case therefore does not support
dismissal. (Dkt. 90 at 19). Finally, if the court otherwise
denies relief, plaintiffs ask the court to clarify that the
dismissal is without prejudice. (Id. at 20-21).
Standard of Review
judgment is entered, the filing of an amended complaint is
not permissible until judgment is set aside or vacated under
Rule 59(e) or 60(b). The Tool Box, Inc. v. Ogden City
Corp., 419 F.3d 1084, 1087 (10th Cir. 2005). Thus, even
though Rule 15(a) states that leave to amend "shall be
freely given, " that presumption is reversed in cases
where the plaintiff seeks to amend after judgment has been
entered and a case dismissed. Id.
59(e) relief is available in limited circumstances. Hayes
Family Trust v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 845 F.3d
997, 1004 (10th Cir. 2017). Those circumstances include: (1)
an intervening change in the controlling law; (2) when there
is new evidence that was previously unavailable; and (3) the
need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice.
Id. (quoting Servants of the Paraclete v.
Does, 204 F.3d 1005, 1012 (10th Cir. 2000)).
assuming the court erred by not taking judicial notice of the
Post Audit Report, any such error would not change the
court's prior ruling, nor would it warrant granting the
relief now requested. As the court noted in its prior order,
the report "mirrors several allegations in the amended
complaint, including criticism of the SVTP for providing
insufficiently individualized treatment." (Dkt. 87 at
10-11, n.2). But the court found the allegations in the
complaint insufficient to state a claim, and said
"[e]ven if the court were to consider this report as
part of plaintiffs' allegations, it does not allege or
purport to show that the Kansas program was such a departure
from accepted standards that it reflects an absence of
professional judgment." Id. Thus, taking
judicial notice of the report would not alter the court's
prior ruling.
assert that the Post Audit Report[2] was based in part on
research published by the Association for Treatment of Sexual
Abusers (ATSA), which "emphasizes the benefits of
individualized treatment, " and that, according to the
report's authors, "[o]fficials from three other
states that we spoke with generally agreed with [this]
research." (Dkt. 90 at 5). The report concluded that,
contrary to the recommended practices in the ATSA, Kansas
"did not use an assessment tool that explicitly
evaluates the risk of reoffending"; it "did not
create sufficiently individualized treatment plans";
its "annual review did not appear to meet recommended
practices"; and "individuals with intellectual
and developmental disabilities had the same requirements and
received the same treatment as all other residents, but at a
slower pace." (Id. at 5-6).
alleged shortcomings cited in the Post Audit Report do not
alter the court's conclusion that the First Amended
Complaint failed to state a valid claim for relief. Nor does
plaintiffs' incorporation of those shortcomings in their
Proposed Second Amended Complaint (Dkt. 90-1 at 11-13, 18-88)
alter that conclusion. The Audit Report asserted that the
ATSA and others have put out "research-based guidance
for the treatment of sexually violent predators, " that
officials from three other states agreed with this research,
and that the research "emphasizes the benefits of
individualized treatment." (Dkt. 90-1 at 35). The
Report further concluded that Kansas's "treatment
model has not kept up with the research-based, recommended
practices we saw in other states." (Dkt. 90-1 at 61).
Accepting these allegations at true, they still do not set
forth facts showing that Kansas's treatment represents
such a departure from accepted professional judgment as to
demonstrate that the persons responsible for the program
actually did not base their decisions on a professional
judgment. States enjoy wide latitude in developing treatment
regiments. Kansas v. Hendricks, 521 U.S. 346, 368,
n.4 (1997). The fact that a preferred method of treatment may
have developed, as plaintiffs allege, does not render
Kansas's use of some other method unconstitutional.
See Allison v. Snyder, 332 F.3d 1076, 1081 (7th Cir.
2003) ("The Constitution does not command state
officials to follow the majority view of a given professional
association. Plaintiffs have not supplied any reason for us
to conclude that the choices made by Illinois are so far
outside the bounds of professional norms that they must be
equated with no professional choice at all.") (cited at
Dkt. 87 at 12). The plausibility standard of Bell Atl.
Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007) requires a
plaintiff to allege facts showing more than a possibility
that a defendant is liable. Plaintiffs have not done so here.
For essentially the same reasons set forth by the court in
its prior order, the court finds that plaintiffs'
Proposed Second Amended Complaint fails to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted, that granting the requested
leave to amend under these circumstances would be futile, and
that the action should be dismissed with prejudice. See
Brereton v. Bountiful City Corp., 434 F.3d 1213, 1219
(10th Cir. 2006) ("A dismissal with prejudice is
appropriate where a complaint fails to state a claim for
relief under Rule 12(b)(6) and granting leave to amend would
be futile.").
IS THEREFORE ORDERED this 14th day of
November, 2017, that plaintiffs' Motion for
Reconsideration, to Amend Complaint, or to Clarify (Dkt. 89)
is DENIED.

Managing Your Whiplash Pain – Part Three
The stages of whiplash management we have covered are: taking painkillers regularly; rest; keep active at a reduced level; pace and don''t overdo; intersperse periods of activity and resting. As the pain reduces all these things remain important but you can now beneficially introduce exercise to your management programme. Initial exercise may be best performed lying down to reduce the stresses on the anatomical structures of the neck due to gravity, with a pillow under the neck in supine. Gently rotating the neck to one side is the first thing to try, moving until the pain begins to be felt or to worsen slightly. Five movements each side may be enough to start with.

While the silver set might be in Nintendo's cross hairs, old gamers with bad tickers beware. Kotaku heard this from a few sources, but nothing has yet been confirmed or denied by Nintendo, so take this with pitch of salt. Apparently, the infrared Wii-mote is not good for pacemakers and can interfere with them. Nintendo supposedly put up signs at the recent Nintendo World event in Japan as a precaution.
Maybe you can fix it with that "Operating Room" game where you do surgeries and stuff.
bringing gamming to the next level: death!
Forget getting into the game! Now, when you play the wii and you die in the game you also die for real!
That would make a nice ad.
I could see a kid going "Hey grandpa come over here I want to try something out."
...it's bad enough that the Wii forces people to exercise while they game. Now, it looks like it's DESIGNED TO KILL people, one way or another....the silent killing machine.
What happened to the "friendly" Nintendo of yesteryear? :(

2 Birthdays to Celebrate - Part 1
Happy Birthday!! I won't tell you how old Brady thought you were turning today - but, to make you feel better he thinks I turn 100 every year....so, his word doesn't mean much.
I am so very grateful to have you as my dad. I know every girl says that - but, I think Ash, Cori, and Billy can confirm it. You (and mom) have always put everything aside to make all of us your priority. We know that. We felt it. And, we appreciate it greatly.
Thinking back over the last 30 years....some memories that stick out most are....(in no particular order):
1. Nursing you back to health after surgery when I was around 4.
2. Riding around in the red and white VW Bug.
3. Learning to wrap presents with you....just right and perfectly every time.
4. "Helping" you shop for mom.
5. Endless "tampon" runs....or, using that as our way to get $$$ out of you - SORRY!
6. Working with you at Infiniti - and showing everyone what a softie you really are.
7. Your love of golf...and beating Uncle Brad's score.
8. Cross country road trip - need I say more??
9. You walking me down the aisle.
10. Your knack for "doing first and asking for permission later." Bryan is still trying to master this skill....unsuccessfully.
11. The fact that I know I can write you a letter on my blog and you will actually read it.
12. And, lastly - your constant love and support. Even when I have needed help.
Happy Birthday Dad!!! I hope your birthday is SUPER SPECIAL!!!
I love you,

Obituary of Claudia Woodrich
Claudia was known as always being happy and upbeat. She left an impression on everyone she met because of her positivity and infectious laughter. She will be remembered as a wonderful and loving mother, grandmother, companion, and friend. Claudia loved spending time with her kids and grandkids. She attended every sporting event she could when any of the kids were playing.
One thing Claudia was not really known for was cooking but she could make a great reservation. She and John always joked that they never had to go grocery shopping because they never ate at home. Claudia preferred to spend her time at home reading and relaxing. She loved playing the organ and played whatever music her fingers could create. She and John enjoyed playing golf together, frequenting Craigburn and a few other courses. Anyone who visited Claudia at home may have noticed that trinkets covered every inch of the place. Please take a plastic tea light candle to start a knick knack collection of your own to ensure Claudia is always close to your heart.
Woodrich, Claudia J. (nee Torbeck) on January 27, 2018 of West Seneca, NY. Beloved companion of John McCarthy; loving mother of Jeffrey J. (Kim) and Christopher J. Woodrich; and dearest grandmother of Jacob, Hannah, and Kassie Woodrich. Friends will be received 4-8 PM, Tuesday, at LAKESIDE MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME same as CURTIN FUNERAL HOME 1340 Union Rd. West Seneca (716-674-5776). A Memorial Mass will be held 10:30 AM, Wednesday, at St. John Vianney Church, Orchard Park. Please assemble at church. Memorials may be made to Hospice of Buffalo, in her memory. Online condolences at www.lakesidefuneralhome.com.

Farmer Stew @ The Source Awards
A real honor to see Farmer Stew recognized in the paper last week. We're proud of him! The article is available here.
We haven't had a very public start in the first years of Lakeside, but I'm glad he took the time to chat about how our farm started as a result of his having spent decades thinking about what agriculture could be in Maine. It's also handy for me, as even I get lost thinking about all the ways he's been involved in growing food and shaping how food gets grown in Maine and New England – thanks to the newspaper, I now have a handy Stew Smith timeline to keep in the delivery truck for easy reference.
Dad and I went down to the awards ceremony at Pineland Farms to receive it – it was nice to eat nice things and see nice people, and really great to have Lakeside on stage alongside people like Penny Jordan and the folks from The Farm Stand. Also we were glad to see a really moving tribute to our friend Russell Libby as the folks at MOFGA begin fundraising for a sustainable ag scholarship in his name. They'll be offering 3 scholarships annually, one to a high school student, one to someone participating in the MOFGA Jouneyperson's program, and one to a student enrolled at Kennebec Valley Community College's sustainable ag program. A worthy program to honor the legacy of a friend of ours and a friend of Maine's agriculture.
We're grateful for the recognition and excited to see the snow gone – hopefully we can get back to this farming thing soon.
– Alex

Listen to this article
The board of Unocal was meeting for the second time in four days on Sunday night to consider the competing offers from CNOOC of China and Chevron of the US.
One person close to the situation said there was a "distinct possibility" Unocal would take a formal position on CNOOC's $18.5bn offer.
But others cautioned that Unocal might continue to remain silent - as it did after a previous meeting last Thursday. So far, Unocal, which is based in El Segundo, California, is continuing to support Chevron's $16.6bn proposal.
Over the weekend, there was a fresh round of manoeuvring, with Unocal hoping to extract the best possible offers from both suitors. But so far, CNOOC and Chevron have resisted pressure to raise their bids. CNOOC is offering $67 per share in cash, and has been authorized by its board to raise up to $69 per share in cash if necessary. Chevron is offering about $61 per share in cash and stock.
Unocal directors will be weighing the lower price of Chevron's offer against the risk that CNOOC's bid might be blocked by the US government because of national security or other reasons.
On August 10, Unocal shareholders are expected to vote on Chevron's proposal. That date is seen by many observers as the deadline for the takeover battle to play itself out.
The prospect of a takeover battle unsettled investors in CNOOC on Friday. The company's shares closed down more than 4 per cent, in spite of a 12.75 point rise in the benchmark Hang Seng index.
A possible rise in CNOOC's offer to $69 per share the price up to which CNOOC's board has authorised management to proceed could also damage the company's credit rating, according to credit rating agencies. The higher offer would be funded through debt.
"Their credit risk will still be low but not the lowest one, so I think they probably cannot maintain their AAA domestic currency rating," said Ivan Chung, managing director of Xinhua Far East China Ratings.
He added that CNOOC's international credit rating, which is currently the same as China's, could fall below the sovereign ceiling, increasing the cost of repaying its debt.

voters soundly defeated a ballot issue
Tuesday, Dec. 13, to extend bonds for road and bridge work throughout the
Question No. 1 on the statewide ballot
sought to extend the interstate highway bond program approved by voters in
1999. The $575 million bond issue is being repaid with federal highway repair
money and a 4-cent-per-gallon diesel tax increase. Under that plan,
reconstruction on more than 380 of the state's 655 miles of interstates is
scheduled for completion next year.
"By next year,
73 percent of the state's interstate system will be in good or very good
condition with only 14 percent rated poor or mediocre," Gov. Mike Huckabee said
during a recent news conference at the capitol.
However, 60 percent of votes cast were in
opposition to the highway bonds.
The extension would not have affected
taxes, but would have given the Arkansas Highway Commission the standing
authority to issue additional bonds in the future without a public vote.
Supporters, including the governor, said
it was needed to keep interstate highways in good shape and that federal and
state highway funds – at least $72 million annually – aren't enough to keep up
with repairs without going into debt.
Groups like the Arkansas Trucking
Association, however, were against the plan.
The motor carriers and related businesses
in the state formed a political committee, dubbed Citizens Against
No.1, to oppose the bond measure.
They said it would take away the rights of
voters to approve each attempt to sell more bonds. Voters, though, would have
been able to petition against the measure had it passed. In addition, the Legislature
could have referred a proposal overturning it to voters.
The chairwoman of the Highway Commission,
Prissy Hickerson, said Tuesday night she doesn't want to see the state's
interstates deteriorate to the point they were six years ago.
To help prevent that from happening,
Hickerson told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette the commission would consider transferring maintenance money from
non-interstate road projects.
Hickerson said the agency previously has
shifted non-interstate maintenance money to interstates. In 1998, the
commission sent $64 million in federal highway funding to interstate
"If it means transferring money, like we
did in '98, then we'll just have to do it again," Hickerson told the Democrat-Gazette.

I would ask permission to spray paint over it, if they don't want to do it themselves (the owner). It takes a village....
WhiteRabbit - Ditto!
Parkview - don't you think it's amazing that the 2 people who have NO experience with MMJ against the idea of dispensaries and skew the stats and the truth, but the 2 who do have experience are in favor and do not skew the stats and the truth? Duh!
I am so sorry for the loss of lives in Arkansas. It is indeed a horrible tragedy. This type of flash flood happens all the time in the Hill Country of Texas, and there is little to no warning and it is not the campers' fault. Whenever you have a low lying area, on a river or creek with higher ground surrounding it, and as you stated above, a huge rainstorm nearby, then there is a chance of flash flooding. And, it doesn't have to be raining anywhere near the campground but somewhere upstream, for a wall of water to rush down the canyon and take everything with it in its path. I remember many years ago canoing one of those rivers in Texas, the Pedernales River, right after such a flash flood. To our horror and amazement, we witnessed in the tops of the trees tents, clothing, sleeping bags, canoes wrapped around the branches, and other personal belongs dangling and ripped apart. Just days before, a 40 foot wall of water rushed downstream in the middle of the night, and took out an entire boy scout troop camping on the side of the river. They had no idea they were in danger, there was no warning. It was a tragic scene to witness afterwards. There are flash flood warnings all throughout the Hill Country of Texas, and I am sure there will now be such warnings on the Arkansas river you mentioned above. Such a sad sad tragedy. Terry

How to Apply Clip-In Curly Hair Extensions
Embrace your beautiful and unique curls by adding more! Whichever curl you choose to dominate -natural or not,curls get noticed! Big and loose or tight and tidy, Goddess' curls tend to spiral somewhere in between, with the ability to blend in easily fooling the eye with repetition.
Sometimes, even people with curly hair crave just a bit more body.Traditional methods, like big barrel rollers and thickening sprays, fight the delicate texture of curly hair, rendering it frizzy and oddly shaped. But extensions, specifically clip-ins, are a foolproof way to achieve voluminous hair. The Cut asked celebrity hairstylist and fake-hair connoisseur how to apply clip-in extensions at home.
Pre-step: Most clip-in extensions are available to purchase individually in varying lengths, colors, and textures. Once you've found the style that closely matches your natural hair, select two to three wide strips — and then one slightly shorter strip for the top of your head.
Step 1: Start with clean, dry hair that's been treated with a moisturizer for curly hair extensions. Just above the ears, part the hair and clip. This is where you'll place the first clip-in. Eventually you'll make three to four additional parts of a similar width as you work your way up to the crown of your head.
Step 2: Using a fine-tooth comb, tease hair upwards around the part. The friction will make it easier for the clip-in to secure a lasting grip on your hair.
Step 3: Snap the clip-in to hair, just below your first part — it will adhere very easily, like a barrette. Repeat steps one through three for the remaining clip-ins as you work your way up to the second, third, and optional fourth part, respectively.
Step 4: Once all of the extensions are in place, carefully trim the clip-ins so that they are just a little longer than your natural hair. This will create a pretty cascading effect and will ensure that you don't cut any of your own hair. Just make sure to leave the arts-and-crafts scissors behind and use professional shears for a clean cut.
Clip-ins are easily removed by un-snapping the "clip" part of the extension. Synthetic hair has a shorter shelf life because it tends to become matted over time. Extensions made from real hair may be reused for up to a year if they are regularly washed, conditioned, and brushed.

Public figure Mykola Tomenko in the air "112 Ukraine"
The introduction of a fine for entrepreneurs because of the wages "in envelopes" after the increase in taxes is a negative conditions for development of small and medium businesses. This broadcast channel "112 Ukraine" I declared a public figure Mykola Tomenko.
"Name me one country where the small business in the year to raise the tax by more than 100%, and for large businesses, meanwhile, don't raise. You look at the budget – the entire budget is laid out in such a way that all the billionaires and millionaires will pay less, and small and medium businesses will pay more," – said Tomenko.
Related news: the Cabinet has increased the financing of the Secretariat to attract professionals – music
According to Tomenko, this provision on fines for those who work informally, you could only enter once will create favorable conditions for small and medium-sized businesses.
"But it turned out that small and medium businesses are punished and they say that if they failed to pay, they will take with them the penalties," – said Tomenko.
News on topic: Ministry: Level of shadow economy in Ukraine decreased by 4%
We will remind, the President Petro Poroshenko signed the law on amendments to some legislative acts, which among other things provides for the imposition of a penalty for paying salaries "in envelope" in the amount of 100 minimal wages (from January 1, 2017, this 320 thousand UAH).

Look Younger Now
Serum for Men
How to Get Every Last Drop
Please note that these airless pumps have a very good performance rate but a fractional percentage of them may tend to loose their vacuum and stop working, especially as you approach the end. Under most conditions you can quickly correct the loss of vacuum with a toothpick, or a straightened paper clip, or any similar small, thin object.
To restore vacuum, lift the whole pump straight up so that you can see the bottom of the pump.
You should see a small hole in the bottom of the base of the pump. Holding the pump straight, with the top up, firmly push a toothpick or a straightened paper clip, through the hole in the base and push upwards.
When you push it should drive the base of the pump upwards, toward the head of the pump and that movement should force out any air that got into the pump and caused the loss of vacuum.
If this fails
to restore the vacuum or you are close to the end, don't worry. You can
access every last drop.
Once the top of the pump is off, you can warm the bottle slightly to help get out the very rich and thick residue at the bottom of the pump. You can either attempt to restore the vacuum again or you can use a straw. wooden spatula, Q-tip, or clean hands to access the remaining serum. You won't lose a drop.

Authors: Nathanael Kuipers and Mattia Zamboni
The Amazing Vehicles book in The Lego Build-It Book series is off-the-charts for fun, creativity, and simplicity. Yes, simplicity! Author Nathanael Kuipers and illustrator Mattia Zamboni have put together a brilliant set of ten cool models that you can build using common Lego pieces. There's no need to run out and buy extra fancy or techie pieces to make any or all of these amazing vehicles.
The book opens with a page showing all the parts used to make the models. An illustrated friendly guide named George says, "If you are missing a few pieces, don't worry! Be creative and replace them with something similar or build in a different color!"
Each page is done in full, brilliant color. The illustrations are step-by-step, large, and easy to follow. George the Guide offers occasional tips along the way. For example, George shows how two simple Lego parts can be used to construct engine pistons, shock absorbers, auto chairs and side mirrors, springs, a logo for the grille, exhaust pipes, or a license plate. He's brilliant!
Each of the ten vehicles is rated for complexity (how difficult the model is to build), functions (how many working functions it has), and pieces (how many pieces are needed). The first model, an off-roader, is rated easy while the last model, the rescue truck, is the most complex in the collection. A side box provides design notes, technical specifications, and features. Nothing is missing from the clear and easy-to-follow instructions. For kids who don't do much reading, they can follow by using the colorful illustrations alone. Plus, there is not much to read anyway.
My personal favorite model is the muscle car, because it reminds me of my real life Mustang. This one is a red convertible with a wide white stripe. After the fun of constructing the car, I can see much more fun in "driving" it around or putting it on display for admiring friends. I can even see one of these decorating the corner of a desk in an office as a conversation piece.
Knowing how boys love construction vehicles, I can see many kids loving the wheel loader and the trucks. But the go-kart and street rod are also very cool. The model that wins my vote for cuteness is the baby stroller.
This book is a "must" for every Lego fan. It makes a perfect gift for birthdays and holidays, so you might want to pick up several copies. For adults who take care of kids, this makes a great addition to your bag of supplies as it will keep kids busy (in the best way—developing their brains and having fun doing it) for hours. Good for teachers to have in the classroom as well. Highly recommended for ages 7 to 97!

Salahuddin Haider
In a major move, after-effects of which will be felt for long time to come, Sindh Assembly passed a bill, seeking to end the role of federally controlled National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to probe into misdeeds of provincial departments. This was no ordinary piece of legislation, for it seeks to "liberate" the southern province from what it calls "arbitrary" control of the Central government. The Sindh government has been agitating over NAB raids on provincial departments. Now the Sindh government, exercising authority from 18th amendment to the Constitutional, has acted on its own to exercise authority on provincial issues, leaving a safety clause in the Bill, however, to let the NAB raid federally administered departments, or institutions in Sindh, but with the permission of the provincial government. This appears to be a dichotomy, for it would open a Pandora's Box, as other provinces may follow suit to prevent federation's interference subjects which they think should be under sole control of the provinces, and a policy of least interference must be pursued by the Government in Islamabad.The passage of the bill was opposed with tooth and nail by the combined opposition parties. The MQM , raised voices against it, and PTI's Sher Zaman tore off its copies. The opposition leader, Khawaja Izharul Hasan left no doubt in minds of people that MQM was dead against the legislation, for it would merely seek to promote corruption in a province which was already too well known.Whether Governor Muhammad Zubair will assent the bill remains to be seen, but some problem could easily be visualized as the governor has let his viewpoint known explicitly in an interview two days ago that unless some positive and effective alternative is produced, the bill would seek to cause greater confusion than it has sought ot end. However, the governors' refusal to sign the bill for give it the shape of act, would lead to tussle between him and the PPP Sindh government.

Weekend Reflections
My reflections on this weekend have nothing to do with church services, leadership summits, or potential leader meetings. It's been a very busy first quarter, so Ryan and I decided to take a weekend off and went to NYC to recharge our batteries. It was a weekend filled with chocolate, caffeine, orange slices (the candy), pizza, pie, soundtracks blaring from our pathetic car CD player, Broadway, and more pie. We also had a near death experience on the NJ Turnpike which was pretty interesting.
Disclaimer: There's absolutely nothing related to discipleship in this post. Here's the rundown on what we saw.
Company- Wow. Wow. I've seen Raul Esparza twice-- Sunday in the Park With George at the Kennedy Center and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Broadway. He was great in Sunday but not so great in Chitty. Company was fantastic. Barbara Walsh, Angel Desai, and Heather Laws ("I'm Not Getting Married Today") were also great.
Inherit the Wind- Plummer. Dennehy. O'Hare. This was amazing. Not as impressive as Dennehy's Salesman, but still really good. We were in the nose-bleeds, but it was still powerful. Loved the bluegrass band.
The Pirate Queen- Tee Hee. We went to see this one partially because, after a weekend of pathetic relationships (on stage, not my own) and Scopes Monkey Trials, I was ready to be entertained. I wanted smoke, spectacle, lights, lasers, sets, and the full comercialization of Broadway. I got it. And that's about all I got out of this one. Kacey liked the dance. Ryan liked the music and vocals. I just kept thinking that Forbidden Broadway is going to have a field day with it. Stephanie Block was great.

We left our moorings at Cape Locks at 9.30, and made two brief stops in Warwick: one at Kate Boats for a bag of coal, and one at Tesco for a new bucket (to replace one that's leaked the whole time we've had a share in Debdale). In Leamington, we had a huge piece of clear polythene hooked on the rudder. We got it off with the boat hook and kept it on board so it didn't make its way back into the water. But things still didn't seem right, so when we stopped for lunch below Radford Bottom Lock, Adrian had a look down the weed hatch and found a lot more polythene wrapped round the prop. Fortunately it wasn't hard to get off. After lunch, we set off up the locks, sharing just one (and that was with a single handed boater).
At one point, two British Waterways boats were coming towards us. The front one appeared to have no-one steering, and only moved over at the last minute. It turned out to what looked like a floating generator being pushed by a little tug boat, who's steerer couldn't see over the top of it. As it passed, he mouthed an apology. We thought it might have been better if he'd been towing rather than pushing, or let the other boat go in front.
The last locks of the day were the Bascote Locks, including the staircase pair. It's the only staircase on the Grand Union.
We moored for the night just past Bridge 27, as the wind got up, and admired the sunset.
Day Five - Wednesday 5 December
It had turned into a wild night with strong winds and heavy downpours. But by the time we set off at around 9.30 it had cleared up (although it was still breezy). We went up two locks, then stopped for water at Blue Lias. As we filled up, two Kate Boats came past bound for their base at Warwick, having had their bottoms blacked at Stockton Top. Apparently two more boats were on their way in the opposite direction, and the two crews would swap when they met half way.
The Stockton Locks were done quickly as they were all in our favour. We passed just one boat coming the other way. We'd been asked to moor ourside Stockton Top, ready for a pump out and diesel. The straight edge isn't quite long enough, so the stern was sticking out a bit as we tied up. It was at this point that Adrian fell in. He'd been taking the stern rope back to the boat when I heard a yell and a splash. He wasn't hurt, but the coldness of the water had come as a bit of a shock. A hot shower was in order.
We cleaned the boat, had lunch on board, before packing and heading home (through very heavy rain). The marina was pretty full, despite many OwnerShips boats being at Braunston for their winter maintenance.

Drones warning from chief inspector for South Holland
The head of policing in South Holland has warned drone enthusiasts about the dangers of flying them irresponsibly.
Temporary Chief Inspector Deborah Clark of the South Holland and Boston Local Policing Team urged people given drones as birthday or Christmas presents to fly them legally so as not to "endanger people or property".
Just last month, a man was cautioned in relation to a drone flight over Lincoln and close to two RAF stations.
Chief Insp Clark said: "Drones are cheap and easy to get in the air so, no doubt, many will have been given as presents over Christmas.
"The ownership and use of drones is not in itself unlawful but in certain circumstances their use may contravene air safety legislation and they can also be used to commit offences such as assaults, damage, harassment or voyeurism.
"We are raising awareness today of the general rules to follow but ultimately, anyone operating a drone should use common sense and take responsibility for it."
A recent Freedom of Information request showed that between May 1 and October 31 last year, Lincolnshire Police had received 11 reports of drone use in the county.
Among the complaints were ones from Holbeach, Morton and Witham-on-the-Hill, near Bourne.
Chief Insp Clark said: "The responsibility for the drone is with the operator and failure to comply with the genral rules on flying them could lead to prosecution.
"Please do not fly your drone in any way that could endanger people or property."
The general points to remember on flying drones are:
- You are responsible for each flight;
- Before each flight, check the drone for damage;
- Keep your drone in sight at all times;
- You are responsible for avoiding collisions;
- Keep away from congested areas;
- Do not fly within 50 metres of a person, vehicle, building or structure;
- Consider rights of privacy in terms of any images you obtain;
- Permission must be granted to use a drone for any commercial activity.

Cute stool! I am curious that you reference Henry taking off his underwear, etc in the bathroom, and wondering if you can do a post at some point about how the early toilet training has gone? It sounds like he's trained or pretty close to trained, which seems crazy impressive for an 18-month-old! Just curious to know how you pulled that off (and if the elimination communication stuff really helped or you ended up going a different route..).

How funny that you are posting about this very stool. We're enjoying are holiday away from Tortola, and actually near an Ikea for a change, which we have since gone to twice. Alas, they have been out of the stool on both trips. I'll probably have something made when we get back, which is always a nice way to support our wood workers (they did a fab job on Anna White's helping tower plans!). But like you, I was really trying to keep costs down.

We have this stool (2 actually, one for the bathroom and one for the kitchen). If you have tile floors, I recommend putting some rubber feet on the legs, as they get slick with use. Makes it harder for kiddo to push around, but worth the safety when s/he's on it/climbing up.

Green + The Grain isn't done growing after a food truck and two skyway restaurants. The eatery is planning a third location.
Owners Tiffany Hauser and Dustin Naugle announced Tuesday that they'll be moving into U.S. Bank Plaza's skyway level, specifically the former Eddington's Soup & Salad space. Green + The Grain, a flourishing chain of restaurants spawned from a food truck, offers customizable salads and wraps with signature dressings and local ingredients.
The restaurant, which joins two other locations in LaSalle Plaza and the Baker Center, will be much larger and feature a commissary kitchen that will support the other Green + The Grains. The new facility will allow Green + The Grain to work with delivery companies to get its food out to the rest of downtown Minneapolis, Northeast and even St. Paul, Hauser said in an email. It will also feature a lot more seating than the other restaurants with 30 bar stool seats with window views ("the views from this space are unlike any other," she said) and at least another 30 seats.
"The entire space has huge windows with scenic downtown views and the brand-new U.S. Bank Stadium in the background. It's really spectacular and I think our customers will love the vibe [and] atmosphere," she said.
All this new space gives Green + The Grain the opportunity to focus on its award-winning organic frozen yogurt, a beloved item that it doesn't currently sell. The third location will dedicate part of its 4,000 square feet for a frozen yogurt operation within the restaurant. The current plan is to have three machines and plenty of healthy and fun toppings, Hauser said.
"The product itself is SO good and SO healthy and there's nothing really available to the building or nearby buildings for an afternoon snack like that. Maybe even morning. We're pumped to finally feature it once again!" she said.
Given the time it has taken them to plan this new project and run two popular skyway stops, Hauser said they didn't even get a mobile food license for the truck this season. The new location, however, will make things more efficient.
"It's very scary to take on that much square footage, but at the end of the day, we are going to utilize every single inch and take full advantage," she said.
The new location is expected to open later this year at 200 S. 6th St.
U.S. Bank Plaza's skyway dining options have transformed in the past two years to include growing chain restaurants and even brand-new local concepts. Naf Naf Grill, a Chicago-born chain serving Middle Eastern staples, opened its first downtown Minneapolis restaurant on the ground floor in 2015. That same year, One Two Three Sushi, a casual sushi and ramen concept from the team behind Masu Sushi & Robata, opened on the skyway level.
Late last year, the office tower saw a new fast-casual pizza concept from Broadway Pizza dubbed Broadway Fast & Fresh. The restaurant's diners can enjoy made-to-order pizzas or make their own salads, wraps and fresh pasta dishes.
it's official, today is the day. it's taken over a year to make this happen, but will be so worth the wait. you're looking at the future home of our third location + new commissary kitchen. the possibilities are endless here and we're so ready. we know we couldn't do it without our amazing staff + and our amazing customers, we really do love you all. lots of new + exciting things coming your way. details coming soon. cheers everyone. #greenandthegrain #downtownminneapolis #usbankplaza

The Land Certification Program and Off-Farm Employment in Ethiopia
This was created in partnership with Environment for Development .
Strong property rights have long been touted as key to increased performance of the rural economy in developing countries. Indeed, in an overwhelmingly agrarian economy like Ethiopia, with state ownership of land, increased land tenure security of individual farmers is expected to play a significant role in factor allocation within and beyond the agricultural sector. This paper analyses the impact of a land certification program on farmers' off-farm participation, based on household-level panel data collected in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Identification of the program's impact relies on the sequential nature of its implementation and application of the Difference-in-Differences strategy. Our results suggest that certification is a significant determinant of participation in major off-farm employment activities. The program's effect is not shown to depend on size of landholdings.

What is Hodophobia?
Hodophobia is the irrational and intense fear of travel. It is usually a personalized fear in that some people may fear going a certain distance away from home while others may fear certain types of transportation. This condition includes the generalized fear of travel.
Hodophobia is also related to Siderodromophobia (fear of trains, railroads, or traveling on trains).
The name originates from the Latin word 'hodo' meaning 'traveling' or 'road' and the word 'phobia' comes from the Greek word 'phóbos' meaning 'fear.'
If you want to be inspired to change your life, click here. You won't regret it.
Symptoms of Hodophobia
Extreme Anxiety, Dread
- Shortness of Breath
- Rapid Breathing
- Heart Palpitations
- Excessive Sweating
- Nausea
- Dry Mouth
- Confusion / Inability to Articulate Clearly
- Lack of Focus
- Irritability
- Shaking
- Feelings of Powerlessness
- Obsession with the Subject of the Phobia
- Fear or Feelings of Losing Control
- Avoidance Behavior
- Headaches

Causes of Hodophobia
Hodophobia is a specific (or "isolated") phobia, centered on non-social key factors. Isolated phobias tend to have some previous trauma (often in childhood and often physically injurious) as a root cause; a fear of bees may stem from an injury in childhood, for instance.
Upbringing can also play a role, such as parental warnings about a direct threat (such as "snakes can bite and kill you") which is especially notable in cases where a threat is more imminent. (An allergy to bees or peanut butter, for instance, would naturally reinforce a real medical concern.)
It is thought that genetics and hereditary factors may play a role in specific phobias, especially those related to a danger of injury. (A primal "fight or flight" reflex may be more easily triggered in those with a genetic predisposition, for instance.)
By contrast, social phobias (like a fear of body odor or touch) are less well-understood, are driven by social anxiety, and are broadly labeled as "social anxiety disorder".
In all kinds of phobias, external experiences and / or reports can further reinforce or develop the fear, such as seeing a family member or friend who is affected. In extreme cases, indirect exposures can be as remote as overhearing a reference in conversation, seeing something in the news, on TV, or in the movies.
Hodophobia, like most phobias, stems from a subconscious overprotection mechanism, and as with many phobias can also be rooted in an unresolved emotional conflict.
Claustrophobia (fear of small spaces) and Periculophobia (fear of taking risks) are commonly involved as triggers of this phobia.

Bucket List Item #4: Snowmen
Too exhausted and slightly put off by the huge expense of skiing, we opted to explore the landscape of St. Moritz.
The weather was spectacular and our epic walk through the forest surrounding the (currently frozen) lake was magical. We saw several more squirrels - but they were too quick for the camera!
We emerged on the other side of town, and decided to take the cable car up the closest mountain, Corviglia, to its highest peak Piz Nair. Thanks to the clear blue skies, we were rewarded with the most astounding views and felt literally on top of the world! We sipped a cappuccino in the best seat in the house while watching skiers (as young as 3-4) hurtling down the red runs below.
And, of course, we finally built our very first snowmen!

The world's longest running musical, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt based on Edmond Rostand's "Les Romanesques" (The Romancers) is a classic story of young love. It tells of two next-door neighbors who plot to make their children fall in love by keeping them apart, on the premise that children most want to do what their parents forbid them to do.

Common wisdom has it that intransigence on the part of the Palestine Liberation Organization is a prime obstacle in Middle East peace-seeking. King Hassan's insistence that only the PLO can speak for Palestinians supposedly caused the impasse in Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres' historic visit to Morocco last month. After all, wasn't it PLO intransigence that caused King Hussein of Jordan to fail in his attempt at peace-seeking earlier this year?
A careful review of the facts does not support this interpretation. It reveals significant flexibility on the part of the PLO and U.S. failure to take advantage of that.
When Hussein broke off his effort to bring about negotiations in February, he made clear that he was exasperated by his experience with the PLO. Specifically, he felt that the organization had reneged on a commitment to accept U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 as the basis for an international peace conference. (The resolutions recognize Israel's right to exist in peace and call for negotiations in which peace would be achieved through return of territory occupied in the 1967 war.)
For months Hussein had been telling Washington that he had the PLO's agreement to accept 242 and 338 if the United States agreed to participate in an international conference to which the PLO would be invited. After great effort, Hussein attained U.S. acceptance of PLO participation provided the PLO clearly and publicly accepted 242 and 338, renounced terrorism and was willing to negotiate with Israel.
