Last week, President Obama reminded us, for a brief moment, of the difference the United States still can make in the Middle East when it leads from the front.
Last week, President Obama reminded us, for a brief moment, of the difference the United States still can make in the Middle East when it leads from the front.
I refer to the president�s success, during his trip to Jerusalem, in getting Israel and Turkey back on track toward normal relations. The once-close ties between the two Mediterranean powers were cut in 2010 after Israeli forces killed nine Turkish activists on the aid ship Mavi Marmara, which was trying to breach the Israeli blockade of Gaza. This dispute presented a strategic roadblock to any regional efforts to deal with Iran�s nuclear program or the civil war in Syria.
Turkey wanted an apology from Israel, which needed reciprocal gestures from the Turks. Three years of backstage talks between Israeli and Turkish diplomats failed to produce a breakthrough, until Obama turned up the pressure on Jerusalem. (Secretary of State John Kerry did likewise in Ankara.)
The apology is due directly to Obama�s pressure, and the success of his visit to Israel, says Alon Liel, a former head of Israel�s diplomatic mission in Ankara.
I�d go further: Obama�s diplomatic achievement reveals that any hopes for regional stability still require an America willing to lead.
Consider the history of the break between Turkey and Israel. Their relations had already begun their sharp slide after the 2008 Israeli invasion of Gaza. The attack ended personal efforts by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to restart peace talks between Israel and Syria. He told me he was further upset by Israel�s refusal to let Turkey deliver relief supplies to Gaza.
The Mavi Marmara deaths infuriated Erdogan, who insisted on an apology and an end to the blockade. Meanwhile, Israelis were outraged the Turkish leader never criticized rocket attacks on Israeli towns by Hamas from Gaza. Yet, backstage, Israeli and Turkish diplomats � aware of the strategic importance of their past ties � kept trying to negotiate.
In July 2011, Israeli and Turkish sources told me a compromise was near. They said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was considering an apology for �operational mistakes� during the raid (the very formula he used last week). Then Defense Minister Ehud Barak endorsed the idea. Still nothing happened.
In September 2011, a U.N. commission on the Mavi Marmara incident provided cover for the apology. The commission�s report recognized Israel�s right to impose a naval blockade on Gaza in order to prevent arms shipments to Hamas, but concluded the Israeli raid had used �excessive force.�
Given the claims by many parties that the blockade itself was illegal, the U.N. findings were a boon for Israel. All expectations then were that the apology would be forthcoming. Yet, for domestic political reasons, Netanyahu pulled back.
Since then, repeated efforts by the U.S. to end the dispute led nowhere � until Obama decided to apply some muscle. Kerry did the same in Ankara, pressing Erdogan to walk back inflammatory language about Zionism and soften added demands on Israel, beyond the apology.
As Obama was leaving Jerusalem, Netanyahu finally made the call from a trailer parked on the Ben Gurion airport tarmac. Under insistent prodding from Obama, the deal was closed.
Yet the efforts Obama made to achieve a breakthrough in Israeli-Turkish relations raise perplexing questions about his wider approach to the Middle East.
After all, Obama�s push to restore ties between Jerusalem and Istanbul was based on hopes they could provide a strategic anchor to a region dissolving into ever greater chaos. Yet Obama has famously chosen to �lead from behind� on Syria (not to mention Iraq and the peace process).
Obama has outsourced military aid to Syrian rebels to Gulf states, which inevitably has led to the strengthening of radical Islamists inside the country at the expense of non-Islamists. Meantime, Syria is collapsing: The war�s spillover is destabilizing Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, and Jordan � and threatening Israel.
America�s closest European and Arab allies � as well as Turkey � have been desperately looking for signs of U.S. leadership on Syria, yet Obama has appeared paralyzed. U.S. attempts to promote a diplomatic solution to the Syrian crisis have proved unrealistic. American efforts to back an inclusive and moderate Syrian civilian leadership have failed to provide the necessary support.
If Obama�s goal in restoring Israeli-Turkish ties is to help stabilize the region, it will have to be part of some larger strategic plan that looks at the bigger picture, especially Syria. Obama�s show of leadership in thawing those ties was indeed impressive, but it won�t have much impact on the region unless he replicates it on a wider scale.

Another month, another action packed Andover Youth Council meeting at the Council offices, 29th April.
This Committee is one fit to burst with ideas, plans and positive energy; never, in all the time I've dedicated to the AYC, have I heard a negative word said or witnessed any sign of discordance. The Andover Youth Council are very much a team, working together for the good of the community and, I have no doubt, will remain as such for a long time, yet.
Whilst Town Councillor Geoff McBride attended this meeting in order to support the committee, the Youth Councillors were made responsible for organising, planning and running their own committee meetings; taking on the responsibilities that come with the post themselves, rather than relying on the Town Councillors to help them at every turn – showing a mutual respect and growth in confidence between the Town Councillors and the AYC,
Last month the AYC took a table at Andover's Saturday market, planning to reach out to the wider community and gather together the hopes, ideas & calls for improvement of the town and all its young people. This initiative was an outstanding success, having engaged with many people – across all ages and backgrounds – across the day. The Youth Councillors will be meeting very soon to discuss and draw up an action plan to begin implementing the findings of this, the first of many public consultations; reminding us that the AYC are very much working specifically for what the youth of Andover want & need. Youth Councillor Keigan will be conducting another consultation at Rewired on Friday, 2nd May.
Notably, the professional and approachable Cllr Jan Lovell attended this AYC Meeting. A champion of young people, Cllr Lovell had a very interesting proposal for the AYC:
Following an inspirational conference brought by local head teachers several years ago, Cllr Lovell took the concept of "Rights, Respect, Responsibility", then based solely within the school system, into the wider community, with a unanimously supported cross party motion to TVBC. Joining forces with an accomplished local journalist, a passionate & proactive Cllr Lovell founded a team of eloquent young people and gave them a platform – a regular page in the Andover Advertiser – with which to voice their thoughts, opinions and concerns with the town, reaching out to those of working age in order to promote rights, mutual respect & responsibility of all and bring the community together.
Unfortunately, despite enthusiasm and due to circumstances beyond Cllr Lovell's control, this first incarnation faded away. With the AYC, Cllr Lovell has proposed to bring this initiative back; to revive publications and encourage stronger relationships between the youth & wider communities of Andover. This, of course, has gone through for consideration by the Youth Councillors and a decision has not yet been reached. However, as an outsider looking in, I do hope this is a proposal they wish to pursue!
The Andover Youth Council are looking for more members, too! If you're between 14 & 17, live in Andover or the surrounding villages and wish to make a difference to the community, do not hesitate to get in touch. Join the AYC and you'll be part of a vibrant and exciting team of intelligent and proactive young people, working towards the best possible future for the youth of today.

Target and Best Buy advertised the Nintendo Switch in their weekly ads. Best Buy is holding the Switch inventory until Friday. Target stores appear to sell their Switch stock as it becomes available. Walmart stores are also receiving new Nintendo Switch shipments, but the retail giant did not make an announcement about the Switch. Check the Store section below for details.
The only other store to order a Nintendo Switch online is Think Geek. The GameStop owned store has started to offer ten different Zelda themed Nintendo Switch bundles online at ThinkGeek.com last week. Only three of the bundles are still available for pre-order with an end of July shipping date.
The Nintendo Switch bundles at Think Geek are starting at $419.99 and are comprised of the Zelda game and additional Zelda toys and collectibles. The big issue though is the shipping time frame. The Switch bundles offered by ThinkGeek ship late July.
The release of ARMS did not bring a whole lot of new Switch stock, but the Splatoon 2 release is. Amazon offers the Splatoon 2 game for $47.99 for Prime members, in case the game is back in stock.

Nintendo Switch Stock at Online Stores
GameStop is offering now four Nintendo Switch bundles online. Three bundles ship by July 28. These will be the last bundles for July, as one of the five bundles offered is already marked with an August shipping date. One Nintendo Switch bundle is on sale at the Target online store for $499.99.

Use our new Tracker app to get notified when the Switch is in stock at Amazon or other major online retailer. The app is set and forget. When there is a Switch in stock you will receive a notification in real-time on your iPhone or Android phone.
The Nintendo Switch will continue to be hard to find for the foreseeable future. Nintendo plans to ship 10 million consoles world-wide in the time from April 2017 to April 2018. From the launch on Mach 3 to April 27, the Mario company sold 2.74 million Switch consoles.
The Nintendo Switch reseller markups keep steady and range today between $90 to $120 for the Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy-Con and $95 to $130 for the Nintendo Switch with Neon Joy-Con on amazon.com. The Nintendo Switch with Neon Joy-Con is more rare than the console with Gray controllers, resulting in considerable higher market value.

To find Nintendo Switch in stock online, shoppers can use our new The Tracker app, available as free download for iOS and Android.
There are also several new accessories coming on the market from Nintendo in the next weeks. See the full list of new Nintendo Switch accessories.
When is Nintendo Switch in stock online again?
Nintendo is ramping up the production for the Nintendo Switch, but has not disclosed what the current production capacity per month is. The demand for the Nintendo Switch will spike during the Holiday Shopping season 2017. Nintendo will set aside a large part of the Switch production during the next months for November and December. This stock piling will keep the Nintendo Switch in short supply during the next 5 months.
As Nintendo coordinated new Switch console shipment with the launch of Mario Kart 8, we expect the company to do the same for the next major Switch game launches. The next big release is Splatoon 2 on July 21. Amazon offers the Splatoon 2 game for $47.99 for Prime members.
The Nintendo Switch will likely be offered in special bundles in time for the Holidays. A Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle has already surfaced in Russia. Because of the incredible demand for the Switch console, the monetary savings on these bundles will be limited. Usually bundles offer a way for consumers to get a free game. Nintendo can afford to just offer some savings, unless the demand is slowing down. Read the latest Nintendo Switch news.
How to find a Nintendo Switch in Stock Online
We developed the The Tracker app to make finding stock of rare products online as easy and stress free as possible. Download the free app for Apple iPhone or Android phones. From the list products you select to be notified for the Switch with Grey Joy-Con and/or Neon Joy-Con.
That is it. It is set and forget. At the moment we detect the Nintendo Switch console in stock at major online retailers, you receive a notification on your smartphone. Now you are just a tap away from buying a Nintendo Switch. You can also see the current availability of the Nintendo Switch consoles in the web version of The Tracker: Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy-Con, Nintendo Switch with Neon Joy-Con.
Nintendo Switch in Stock at Stores
The Switch is available in 878 Walmart stores and 302 Target stores locations according to the Nintendo Switch inventory tracker iStockNow (11:00am ET). Note that iStockNow stopped tracking GameStop inventory.
The above numbers need to be put in perspective to the number of stores each retailer operates in the United States. There are 4,400 GameStop locations, 1,800 Target stores and 5,000 Walmart stores in the US. This means that the chances to find a Switch in stock at your local retail outlet are not that great.

This article is from Gut Microbes, volume 5.AbstractAntibiotics and antibiotic resistance made news on several fronts in the past year. Many public health organizations, including the CDC, used terms such as -crisis- -catastrophic consequences-, and -nightmare scenario- to highlight the rapid emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. A report from the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, on the fifth anniversary of the publication of its landmark 2008 report, noted that state and federal legislative efforts to limit non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in animal production were thwarted by drug and food animal industries. In its lobbying disclosures, the Farm Bureau stated that such efforts to limit use of animal antibiotics were -based on emotion and no credible peer reviewed science.- Meanwhile, there have been inexorable advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which antibiotics induce diversity and resistance in bacteria. This article reviews one study that probed the role of the bacterial general stress response in sub-inhibitory antibiotic-induced mutagenesis and antibiotic resistance.

On Saturday, March 17, trail runners will descend upon Sylva for the 8th annual Assault on BlackRock, a seven-mile mountain trail race to the 5,810-foot summit of Blackrock Mountain and back down again, for a total elevation gain of 2,770 feet over the race course. The race begins at Pinnacle Park at 9 a.m. and three finishers in the male and female categories will receive awards. "This race is a very challenging trail race, not for the faint of heart," says Clifford Mault, who has participated in all but one of the Assault on BlackRock races.
This year's race proceeds will go to support Shop with a Cop of Jackson County, a program that pairs children with a law enforcement officer and provides them with $100 to spend on gifts for themselves and family members. "This race is important to the local community because it has raised close to $15,000 over the past seven years for local nonprofit organizations in Sylva," says race organizer Brian Barwatt. He chose Shop with a Cop of Jackson County to show his appreciation for the Town of Sylva police, who provided support and protection last year when a Pinnacle Park trail was intentionally covered in dozens of spikes that threatened and injured runners.
Randall Holcombe has participated in the Assault on BlackRock for the past five years. Holcombe, who lives in Sylva with a year-round view of the Plott Balsam Mountains and Blackrock, says the beautiful area rarely gets the attention it deserves. "This range has as much beauty and wonder to offer the outdoor enthusiast as any other place," he says. "The race gives people from outside the area a chance to discover that. For anybody who likes running mountain trails, it's a natural draw." Holcombe also says the Assault is unique because it offers the challenge of a mountain race without an overwhelming mileage. "The climb is brutal," he says, "and most people wind up hiking the steepest parts. The race demands a lot from you, but the payback makes it worth the effort."
Beth Budden ran the Assault on BlackRock for the first time last year with her husband and 14-year-old daughter. "Being from Cullowhee, our family has hiked to Blackrock numerous times, so we thought it would be fun to challenge ourselves to see just how quickly we could get up to the top and back," she says. Budden calls the race "deceptive in its difficulty," highlighting the last half-mile of the race which features a steep, single-track and a rock scramble to the summit. Budden appreciates that there is no cut-off time for the race, so runners of all ages and abilities can participate. "It's a great way of introducing folks to what our great little community has to offer in terms of outdoor recreation, restaurants and breweries," she says. "If there is one thing many trail runners enjoy after a race, it would be a good beer, and Sylva has definitely got that covered."
If 2,770 feet of elevation gain across seven miles isn't enough of an undertaking, the BlackRock 101 Challenge offers a prize belt buckle for those who complete the course in 101 minutes or less. "This is not an easy time to achieve for most people, but it is also not a time that only elite runners can achieve," says Barwatt. "With the proper amount of training, I think this time is attainable for most people if they are willing to run downhill at a close-toreckless pace."
Registration for the Assault on BlackRock is $25 until March 16 and $30 on race day. For information or to register, visit discoverjacksonnc.com/event/assault-onblackrock.

When you ride the mining road the goggles should appear in the upper right corner. You just tap the image to wear them. They are not visible on the highway.

Duo no-no - dating your partner
Never happened to me, but I had a teammate who dated her duo partner. Luckily, their relationship lasted through the speech season and they stayed friendly enough to not cause scenes the next one. (No, they were not partners the next year!) They competed fine together when they were an item. But what would have happened if they had broken-up during the season!? That might have been incredibly awkward at best, the end of a duo (which is a loss for them AND the team) at worst. It just seems like a very risky gamble.
Have you, or would you ever, date your duo partner?
I would never ever date a partner. My ex partner is dating her new partner and that could go downhill fast. It could be a distraction, or you could break up and be screwed with no partner, or you could be too nervous to perform at your best with them watching you. Honestly dating anyone on your team should be a no-no. Our coach tried to even make it a rule but it didn't stop anyone.

Downtown Reinvestment Grant
Section 1: Introduction, Background, & Purpose
Please Note - Program agreements/contracts are based on a two year term to complete the project. Projects and programs are expected to be completed and outcomes achieved within the contract term.
1.1 Introduction
The Fiscal Yeat 2017 to 2018 City of Frankfort Budget includes historic increases in funding for a Downtown Reinvestment Grant. These new resources will help build, preserve and revitalize our downtown and increase the effectiveness of investments in Frankfort. The approved budget provides $100,000 in capital funds for downtown revitalization and investment made available for application by this Request for Proposals (RFP).
This RFP describes the program to which you may apply and explains the process, including the method used to accept, evaluate and rate applications for funding.
1.2 Background
The Frankfort Downtown Reinvestment Grant is administered by the Planning and Zoning Department in conjunction with the Community Relations / Grants Department with recommendations from the Downtown Reinvestment Grant Committee. Contracts with the City of Frankfort provide funds to stimulate reinvestment in properties located within mixed-use commercial districts located in Frankfort's Central Business Historic District.
1.3 Statement of Purpose & Goals
Downtown Frankfort has a number of empty and under-utilized buildings or lots and according to a recent review, there are nearly 25 vacant storefronts downtown. The City of Frankfort is seeking proposals from eligible applicants for the purpose of assisting with downtown revitalization efforts. The goal is to encourage a renovation of Downtown Frankfort to create an attractive environment for businesses, citizens and visitors. The grant will provide opportunities to stimulate reinvestment in mixed-use "downtown" buildings, vacant lots or neighborhoods in order to:
- Stimulate the economic revitalization of mixed-use business centers in downtown Frankfort by providing financial incentives for the rehabilitation of traditional commercial building stock
- Foster development, thereby providing economic opportunities and promoting economic activity in traditional downtown or business locations
- Expand housing opportunities in mixed-use districts, including accessible upper floor units and new homeownership opportunities
- Facilitate an effective planning process that ensures that capital investments of public funds will enhance the aesthetics and economics of the commercial district through appropriate design that respects the historic architecture of the target area
- Preserve significant or historic buildings and provide an environment that attracts new investment to enable the adaptive reuse of these buildings for new downtown enterprises
- Address issues of code enforcement and energy efficiency, to bring vacant commercial space into code compliance, so that it can be utilized

College Football Stadium Review: Faurot Field
We've got some time to kill before college football comes back into our lives, and since I am known as a helpful and informative person (probably not true), I am gonna take the next however many weeks and offer you thorough reviews of each SEC stadium. And by thorough review, I mean I'll be using my exceptional bias, Google reviews, and lots of colored lines hand drawn on Google maps.
My qualifications for such an endeavor are that I've been to all the SEC stadiums but Missourah's, usually to witness a skull-dragging of Ole Miss, and I can look up stuff on Google Maps pretty quickly. I suggest that you file these informative reports away for your road trip destinations this season so you won't end up like that pair of Oklahoma State fans I saw walking around a couple of miles away from the old Cotton Bowl, waiting to be murdered.
Right off the bat, there's a major problem (not to be confused with the dozens of smaller problems) with this review: I've never been to Columbia to a game, so this time I really do indeed have no idea what I'm talking about. However, lack of information has never stopped me from yammering away, so on we press.
Most of what you'll see below is intelligence gathered from about five minutes of looking at the screenshot I took. Unlike the reviews of the other stadiums, if you follow this one, you will experience nothing enjoyable because you'll just stay in one place since I can really only say with authority, "Hey, there's the stadium."
(right-click for seeability)
After you've picked up a Brad Smith jersey, seen the trees, and walked to the ass-end of the map if you need tickets, it's time to go in the stadium. I continue to stress that I know nothing here, but here's my best guess of what that will be like.
(right-click for seeability)
But enough about what I don't know, let's see what the slice of those who are Missouri fans, Internet users, AND Google review posters have to say about their stadium.
And that was it. So, in summary, Missouri fans are excited about a highly touted freshman receiver, there is a golf course near Faurot Field, and Google reviews is not very popular among the Missouri faithful.

Faux Pho
This recipe for a version of pho (Vietnamese soup) is the result of a dinner gone wrong the night before.
I guess it wasn't a total failure. I had a plan of making a nice Sunday dinner of roast chicken. Now, it is important to note that on this particular Sunday the Oscar's were on. I love this night. I take over the TV at 6pm to watch the red carpet show on E!
Being a rookie when it come to roast chicken, I put it in the oven way too late. At 6pm (I know, shouldn't I be on the couch by now) I take the chicken out, check internal temperature and determine it done. I throw my two sides into the oven (both of which were really tasty and I will post about later). We are now at 6:30... sides are done, let's carve this chicken. Upon the first slice into the chicken it was apparent it was NOT ready! At this point all I could think of were the celebs and dresses I was missing on the red carpet so I loaded my plate with my sides and headed to the TV. Long story short, I roasted the breast and legs for lunchtime sandwiches and made stock out of the carcass.
Back to my faux pho. This isn't so much of a recipe as an idea.
Faux Pho
2 large bowls of homemade chicken stock with shredded chicken
2 heads of baby bok choy
4 crimimi mushrooms thinly sliced
10 green beans
2 green onions chopped
1/2 package brown rice pasta (225 g)
2 tablespoons hot sauce
Cook brown rice pasta. Steam the bok choy, mushrooms, and green beans. Add half to each bowl of stock. Garnish with the green onions . Add a dash of hot sauce.
This idea of throwing a ton of steamed veggies onto broth is simply not a way I've thought of eating soup before. After making the recipe I was interested in what a true pho recipe would look like. The broth is flavoured with exotic spices like star anise, cardamom, fennel ect. and garnished with Asian basil, lime and bean sprouts. I think I will give the authentic version I try one day. However, for a week night dinner when I had some homemade chicken stock lying around, my faux pho did the trick. Tasty, healthy, and filling. Anyone have any tips or good recipes for Vietnamese Pho?

Defendant Syndicated Office Systems LLC does business under the name Central Financial Control, and the complaint for this class action says it was under this name that it sent debt collection letters to plaintiff Evangelia Angelakopoulos. But according to the complaint, Angelakopoulos told the company the debt was in dispute and directed it to call her attorney. When the company contacted her again, the complaint alleges, it was a violated of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) as well as the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA).
Two classes have been proposed for this action.
According to the complaint, it happened like this: On May 30, 2017, the company sent Angelakopoulos a letter attempting to collect a debt it alleged she owed to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. However, Angelakopoulos claims that the debt is not hers and that she did not owe it. On July 5, 2017, her attorney wrote faxes to the company explaining that he represented Angelakopoulos, that she disputed the debt, and that the company should contact him rather than Angelakopoulos from now on.
On August 8, the company sent the attorney a letter that the complaint said acknowledged the receipt of his letter, claimed the company was investigating the dispute, and asking that HIPAA forms be submitted to release more information. However, the complaint says, on the following day, the company sent another collection letter to Angelakopoulos, again attempting to collect the debt.
According to the complaint, sending this second letter to Angelakopoulos violated the FDCPA as well as the FCCPA, in that the company had already been told that the amount was in dispute and that Angelakopoulos was being represented by an attorney. The company had no further permission or authorization to call her, the complaint alleges, and was to have directed all further communications to the attorney.

Oh clients. They aways want stuff for free. But in the real world that's not how it works. The short order cook behind the counter asks "When's the last time you got something for free?" Before answering "You must work for the government." Truth in advertising right there.
While this is great self-promotion for Zulu Alpha Kilo, I'll bet a lot of clients who might go this route are going to be turned off. Come to think of it, does Zulu Alpha Kilo pitch business? Because if so, isn't that basically working for free?

Remember the days when corduroy was in?! Well guess what…it's back! Just in time for the back to school Fall season.
This 1970's staple has reemerged and reinvented itself in a wide variety of options. One of my current faves is the button down skirt. Between the style of the skirt and the amazing fabric, this corduroy option is a match made in Fall heaven. Another option I'm currently crushing on is corduroy flares. As soon as I find the perfect pair, I'll be sure to share them here! If you feel like giving corduroy a chance this season but don't want to go all out with something as bold as flares, I would suggest starting with a simple jacket. I've seen a ton of imitation denim jackets that would be super easy to incorporate into any wardrobe with any outfit. The best part is, this material is extremely comfortable and durable, and sure to keep you warm the rest of the year!
Another popular trend that I think pairs well with corduroy is the graphic tee. No,not just any graphic tee, METAL tees are really in right now. From one throw back to another, old school heavy metal bands are the face of street wear this year. I think it's the vintage vibe that is jelling so well some of these 70's, 90's trends were seeing everywhere. I also love these baggy tees paired with something a bit odd, like a high-waisted trouser or fitted A line skirt. It screams "I'm trying…but not too hard."
Psst…another amazing fall fabric that's making a comeback this Fall is velvet 😉

About Me
upstairs neighbor
i just realized that this had been a dead link/blank space for some time, so here's the update. i'm a 31 year old single guy living in san francisco, working a highly rewarding job that i just so happen to love. i was in a nearly 8 year relationship that i walked away from a little over a year ago and have been getting back to seriously dating again. i've been blogging in one form or another forever and after getting a few too many people i know and/or dated lurking in those blogs for the purposes of stalking i decided to set up this completely anonymous blog. my other blogs are long distant memories and pretty much are gone, especially since i've been writing this. the real purpose of this blog is to get what's going on with me out in a form that is completely unfiltered and unconcerned if 'so and so' reads it or if it is unflattering to me. what you get from me is the full 100% truth no matter how unflattering it may be to me or anyone else. were this an ego trip i'd totally just put a big picture of me on it and continually just post about how f-ing cool i am and how interesting my life is, i mean it is and i am, but that's beside the point of this blog. anyway, enjoy.

Factors Behind Hammer Toes
The 2nd toe is the most common digit to develop a hammertoes deformity. Second toe hammer toes commonly result from an elongated 2nd metatarsal and from pressure due to an excessively abducted great toe (hallux valgus deformity) causing a bunion. Unusually long toes often develop hammer toe deformities. Painful corns often develop in hammer toe deformity, particularly of the 5th toe. Reactive adventitial bursas often develop beneath corns, which may become inflamed.
Most hammertoes are caused by wearing ill-fitting, tight or high-heeled shoes over a long period of time. Shoes that don't fit well can crowd the toes, putting pressure on the middle toes and causing them to curl downward. The condition may be more likely when the second toe is longer than the first toe or when the arch of the foot is flat. Hammertoe can also be present at birth (congenital). Hammertoe also can be caused by a bunion, which is the knobby bump that sometimes develops at the side of the big toe. A bunion causes the big toe to bend toward hammertoe the other toes. The big toe can then overlap and crowd the smaller toes. Occasionally, a hammertoe is inherited or caused by arthritis in the toe joint.
Hammer toe is often distinguished by a toe stuck in an upside-down ?V? position, and common symptoms include corns on the top of your toe joint. Pain at the top of a bent toe when you put on your shoes. Pain when moving a toe joint. Pain on the ball of your foot under the bent toe. Corns developing on the top of the toe joint. It is advisable to seek medical advice if your feet hurt on a regular basis. It is imperative to act fast and seek the care of a podiatrist or foot surgeon. By acting quickly, you can prevent your problem from getting worse.
Most health care professionals can diagnose hammertoe simply by examining your toes and feet. X-rays of the feet are not needed to diagnose hammertoe, but they may be useful to look for signs of some types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or other disorders that can cause hammertoe. If the deformed toe is very painful, your doctor may recommend that you have a fluid sample withdrawn from the joint with a needle so the fluid can be checked for signs of infection or gout (arthritis from crystal deposits).
Non Surgical Treatment
People with a hammer toe benefit from wearing shoes in which the toe box is made of a flexible material and is wide enough and high enough to provide adequate room for the toes. High-heeled shoes should be avoided, because they tend to force the toes into a narrow, flat toe box. A doctor may recommend an insert (orthotic) for the shoe to help reduce friction and pressure on the hammer toe. Wearing properly fitted shoes may reduce pain and inflammation. It may also prevent ulcers from developing and help existing ulcers heal. However, the hammer toe does not disappear.
Surgical Treatment
Surgically correcting a hammertoe is very technical and difficult, and requires a surgeon with superior capabilities and experience. The operation can be done at our office or the hospital with local anesthetic. After making a small incision, the deformity is reduced and the tendons are realigned at the joint. You will be able to go home the same day with a special shoe! If you are sick and tired of not fitting your shoes, you can no longer get relief from pads, orthopedic shoes or pedicures, and have corns that are ugly, sensitive and painful, then you certainly may be a good surgical candidate. In order to have this surgery, you can not have poor circulation and and must have a clean bill of health.
Although these following preventative tips may be able to reverse a painful bunion or hammertoe deformity, they are more effective when applied to young people, and are less effective the longer a person has progressed with their bunion or hammertoe deformity. This is because the joints in our bodies get used to the positions they are most frequently held in, and our feet are no different, with our 12 to 15 hours a day in restrictive footwear, with tapering toeboxes, heel elevation, and toespring.

How to collect free Bitcoin?
How to start collecting free Bitcoin?
All that you'll need to collect your free BTC is to dedicate time for claiming your desired amount of Bitcoin, or we may say – satoshi (fraction of Bitcoin).
To get free Bitcoin you'd need to open a free BTC wallet, e.g. blockchain ( https://blockchain.info/pl/wallet) – it is a sort of 'account' where you can store Bitcoin, collected from various sites. After registration, you're going to receive BTC wallet address, which you'd need to make withdrawals from programs listed below. I only write about programs that I personally use (I checked that they pay out):
LIST of free Bitcoin websites:
Freebitco.in – On this site you can claim free bitcoin every 60 minutes. You're also entitled to 50% bitcoin commission in their affiliate program (if you recommend it to others). The program has been working for a vary long time, pays out and it is really easy to use.
What do you have to do? After logging in, you click: 'Claim your free BTC' or 'Roll' (that's what you'll see in majority of these programs) – if you see captcha to fill out, you need to do it too. Then click on : ROLL/CLAIM/GET. And that's it – you get your first satoshi to your account. The minimum for withdrawal to your wallet is 30,000 satoshi.
Moonbit.co.in – This program allows you to claim satoshi every 5 minutes. As long as you don't log out, the number of satoshi will be growing on its own and all you need to do is go to this website once a day, fill out captcha and claim it all. In addition you can get 50% commission in their affiliate program + bonuses for claiming daily. For example: if you claim 5 days in a row – 5% bonus, 10 days – 10% bonus.
What do you need to do? After clicking on the link, you'll see that they want you to enter you CoinPot email. It works as a sort of wallet, where your satoshi is automatically stored. Click on underlined CoinPot word and register. Then, click on Moonbit.co.in and enter the same email you used for setting your CoinPot. After logging in, you'll see the growing number of satoshi and time from last claim. Click 'claim', fill out captcha and that's all done. More often you click, more satoshi you can get.
BTC clicks – collect free mBTC. Interesting thing – you can have either standard account – free, or you can pay for premium account to receive 200% from your own clicks and 80% for clicks by your referals. There is a calculator on their website that allows you to see whether it is worth it or not. Minimum withdrawal – 0.1 mBTC. There is also an option for renting referals.
Bitfun.co – On this site you can claim free satoshi every 3 minutes. More you click, more you can get. If you do not log out from this website, the number of satoshi will grow on its own (just slower) and you can just visit once a day and claim what's there.
Bitfun offers a selection of mini games, which you can play while waiting for your satoshi to grow, but it does not speed anything up. Their affiliate program offers 50% commission from all of your partners' claims.
Bitfun, same as Moonbit, stores your satoshi in CoinPot. After clicking on the link, you just need to enter your Coinpot email and choose a password. On their main page, click on – PLAY GAMES, and you'll be able to see your satoshi on the top of the page.
All the satoshi which you send to your e.g. blockchain wallet, can be used in any earning program of your choice.
Or, you can just hold your satoshi, to possibly earn when BTC value increases.
Is it worth to collect free bitcoin online?
Yes, but it is time consuming – unless, you're in front of your computer anyway, and you don't mind keeping another tab open, so from time to time you go there to make a claim. It might feel boring, but it brings good effects. I've heard, that if you were to just sit and do it constantly, you could gather some good amounts… but who would want to do it non-stop 😉
But if you don't have your own funds to start in earning program, collecting free BTC allows you to do it anyway.
Apart from collecting free Bitcoin, you can also collect other cryptocurrencies this way, for example: Litecoin and Dash.
Most popular sites (they use Coinpot to store your crypto too) – Moon Litecoin and Moon Dash. They work exactly the same as Moonbit.

Great cruise!
5 Night Western Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip)
Sail Date: May 10, 2010
Ship: Celebrity Century
Cabin Type: Suite
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 8 years ago
Review SummaryWe were upgraded to a suite and that was a wonderful surprise! The ship was beautiful and the staff was amazing. Everyone was very accommodating and nice. My wife doesn't swim and so I knew she wasn't going to take advantage of the pool but even though I wanted to, it was small for the amount of people that were on the ship. Also, I purchase the beverage option and I find that for the next time cruising, I won't purchase it. There were plenty of juice stations, etc that I really didn't need my soda pass.

This Affordable Housing Resource Guide was developed by the Florida Housing Coalition as a quick reference source for affordable housing providers, administrators of local government housing and human service programs, and other professionals with an interest in affordable housing. This guide is particularly geared toward nonprofit organizations that currently provide affordable housing, or are considering becoming affordable housing developers and/or owners.
The guide is organized into three sections:
- Public Funding Sources Suitable for Individual Applicants and/or Small-Scale Developments
- Public Funding Sources Suitable for Larger Scale Developments
- Private Funding Sources
The categories for the first two sections are approximate and not mutually exclusive. For example, some of the funding sources most accessible to small-scale developers, such as State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, are often used by developers of large projects as well. Additionally, some funding sources that are traditionally used for large-scale multifamily developments may be available for small-scale developers in some circumstances. For example, the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) targets some of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) funds it administers to small-scale projects.
Each funding source has an entry that briefly describes the program, including the types of housing it supports, eligible applicants, the forms of subsidy it provides, and which organizations administer the funds. It is important to note that funds for many federal programs are passed through to state and/or local governments, which are often given wide latitude in designing programs to administer the funds. The same is true for many State programs.
The information in this guide is not comprehensive, but rather is meant as a starting point for the prospective applicant to search for more information. Applicants should contact the agencies listed at the end of each entry to learn more about available funds and project priorities in their geographic area. In addition, applicants should be aware that regulations and funding priorities for some programs may have changed since this guide was published.
For an affordable housing developer, building even one house can be a difficult and complex effort requiring multiple funding sources. Providing affordable housing is not a casual undertaking—it is a commitment of staff and board time, money, and relationship-building over a span of years or even decades. However, to effectively develop, own, and/or manage high-quality housing for low-income Floridians seeking a better life is one of the most fulfilling endeavors you can embark on.

Key Takeaways
- Effective managers can use thoughtful questioning to bring out the best in their teams.
- There is an art and science to questioning so that it's not an interrogation, but rather a productive conversation that sparks new ideas and insights. Ask questions of everyone: customers, direct reports, managers, project stakeholders, personal networks, and beyond.
- Often, the most precious resource is time. Don't squander it—take action quickly, learn, and try again!
It's not enough to develop an entrepreneurial leadership mindset in yourself, to get your organization to act entrepreneurially you need to develop this mindset in others. One of the best ways to coach and help grow this skill in your team is by asking questions as you meet with your leaders to get updates, solve problems, and plan future activities.
Here are a set of potential questions for different scenarios. Pick a few that seem appropriate for the situation, or are appropriate for the kind of thinking you want to promote in your managers.
Taking Stock: Using the Resources at Hand to Act Quickly
Entrepreneurial leadership is about using the resources you have to quickly brainstorm, develop, and evaluate the potential of new ideas or opportunities. Most people tend to underutilize their resources and end up relying too much on their own thinking and effort, which limits creativity and progress. Smart questions can help people reflect on their current and potential use of available resources.
Quickly Engaging Customers and Key Stakeholders
For most initiatives, the key to rapid learning and development is to engage customers and key stakeholders as quickly as possible to generate, evaluate, and refine ideas, technologies, and processes. Early customer engagement can help eliminate bad ideas quickly, rapidly confirm the potential of good ideas, and uncover hidden customer needs, critical design variables, unexpected issues, or unintended consequences. Ensure leaders are using their personal network (and their team's networks) to reach out to existing or potential customers and key stakeholders.
Managing Risk through Affordable Loss
Contrary to popular opinion, successful entrepreneurs are actually somewhat risk-averse. Instead of trying to predict and manage risk, they only risk what they can afford to lose at the moment. Entrepreneurial leaders rarely make big bets. Instead, they break their efforts down into a series of thoughtful little bets that help them evaluate and improve ideas before risking more time, effort, resources, and reputation. While budgets and reputations are important, the one thing that leaders can often least afford to lose is time. A little bet strategy helps avoid spending too much time on bad ideas. Effective coaching in this area helps leaders find ways to manage risk with a series of little bets.
Reducing Barriers to Entrepreneurial Action and Rapid Learning
As a manager and coach, your role is to identify, remove, or reduce any organizational barriers preventing individuals and groups from leading entrepreneurially. Lots of things can derail entrepreneurial action, for example incompatible reward systems, byzantine approval processes, and complicated, time-consuming reporting. These norms and systems are often taken for granted in that individuals and groups may not even recognize them as elements that stymie learning.
Providing Help Beyond Coaching
You may be in a position to provide support that goes beyond coaching. This is especially true if you are the leader's boss, or control many of the people and resources they need to move the project forward. The next time you're unsure about exactly how to help, instead of looking for the answer, look for the question.
Try asking a few of these questions the next time you're coaching an entrepreneurial leader:
Take stock of your resources and act quickly
- What can you do quickly with the people, equipment, and resources you have now?
- Are you using all the resources you have now to move this project forward quickly?
- What skills, knowledge, and connections do you personally bring to the project?
- How can you use them to move this project forward quickly?
- Do your strengths, interests, and personal network suggest a particular approach or first step?
Quickly engage customers and key stakeholders
- Have you talked to customers about this idea? What have they said? Are there any patterns or consistencies to their reactions? Could they help you improve this idea?
- Would talking with a few customers right away help you figure out which direction to take?
- Is there anyone else you could talk to right away to help you quickly develop this idea?
Manage risk through affordable loss
- What would we lose if we tried this idea and it didn't work? How much time, effort, and money are at risk here? Can we afford it?
- Should we take a smaller step that risks less time, money, and effort, but might help us more quickly decide if this is a good idea?
- What would you lose if this initiative failed? How do you feel about that?
Reduce barriers to action and rapid learning
- Is there anything I'm asking for that is slowing you down? Not helping you learn quickly?
- Is anyone else doing things to slow you down? Are there things that you are doing that you don't think are helping you learn quickly?
- What can we adjust, simplify, or remove from our organizational processes to help you learn and develop things more quickly?

Semi-Dry type:
It is in the front of the mouth has a valve to prevent water into the mouth, but there is still water in the tube, breathing a little resistance, but in the diving beyond the depth of the breathing tube, can avoid water directly into the mouth, is the most easy to get started beginners equipment.
Full Dry Type:
The whole dry type is in the tube before the valve is set out only, keep the pipe not water. belongs to the better breathing tube, at the top of the pipe inlet, add a one-way intake valve, we call it all dry breathing tube, because there is this one-way valve, even if the pipe whole root in the water, will not water. However, more than one part, the resistance of the suction is certainly a little larger. The top of the active floating valve, once the water is about to drown the breathing tube, the valve will be due to buoyancy and closed the nozzle, to prevent water.

How Well Do Zoey Deutch, Madelyn Deutch, & Lea Thompson Know Each Other? Watch 'Speaking Deutch'! (Video)
Sisters Zoey Deutch and Madelyn Deutch and their mom Lea Thompson are not only family, they also have worked together the last few years on their new movie The Year of Spectacular Men. So, after all that time together, how well do they know each other?!
JustJared.com played a game of "Speaking Deutch" with the family members to determine who knows each other the best.
Among the questions our host Frenchy asked were, "Who is the worst singer?" "Who has the best sense of style?" and "Who is the family farter?"
The Year of Spectacular Men follows Izzy Klein (Madelyn), who has just graduated from college, broken up with her boyfriend, and has a case of pre-real-world millennial-itis. Throughout the year, she falls in and out of some not so romantic romances, and figures out that when it totally feels like the end of your story, it's often just the beginning.
Madelyn wrote and stars in the movie, Zoey produced and co-stars in it, and Lea directed and co-stars in it. You can watch The Year of Spectacular Men now in limited theaters and on VOD.

Public square discussion coming up again
By RICHARD F. BELISLE / Staff Writer, Waynesboro
WAYNESBORO, Pa. - An old and emotional controversy - the future of Waynesboro's Public Square - may resurface as a result of last November's Borough Council election.
In 1999 the council voted on a recommendation of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to close in the square on all four sides. PennDOT engineers said narrowing the intersection would funnel traffic through a more direct and safer path through town.
The square intersects Pa. 16, the east-west thoroughfare through the borough. It's also the borough's Main Street. Church Street runs north and south through the square.
Navigating the intersection with its unsynchronized traffic lights is confusing, especially for newcomers, state traffic engineers have said.
Currently there are 18 angled parking spaces on the square. Drivers leave the spaces by backing into oncoming traffic - a dangerous practice, engineers said.

I don't know about you, but I often wander through the stores around Christmas time and fall in love with all of the Christmas decor. Problem is, my budget doesn't leave a lot of room for all the expensive decorations.
I remembered I had a piece of beautiful barn board in my wood stash, and I knew I had the perfect project for it. Making this JOY sign is pretty simple.
After you find a perfect piece of barnboard, go onto your computer and print out the three big letters: J-O-Y. I made them fit basically one letter per page, but this really depends on the size of your wood. Measure your wood and input the measurements into whatever program you are using. I used the program that came with my Silhouette Cameo.
Once I printed out the letters, I covered the back of the printouts with chalk. To transfer the chalk outline of the letters, I place the paper onto the wood chalk-side down, and I trace over the letters with a pen. When you remove the printout there will be a chalk outline on your wood. I shared a little more detail of how to do this in this previous post, if you need a better visual.
It's now time to paint your letters! I used acrylic paint, all from the dollar store.
After your letters are done, you can decorate the sign with whatever you want! I used some burlap, yarn, a Christmas ball,and a pinecone. I just used what I had lying around, so no extra cost for me! That's the way this frugal wife likes it. ;)
And there you have it! A very affordable piece of Christmas decor that all your friends and family will love!
