Court of Appeals of Oregon
July 6, 2017
STATE OF OREGON, Plaintiff-Respondent,v.STEVEN CHRISTOPHER DAVIS, Defendant-Appellant.
and submitted January 26, 2016.
County Circuit Court C132808CR Eric Butterfeld, Judge.
Evans, Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for
appellant. With him on the brief was Peter Gartlan, Chief
Defender, Offce of Public Defense Services.
Jonathan N. Schildt, Assistant Attorney General, argued the
cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Ellen F.
Rosenblum, Attorney General, and Paul L. Smith, Deputy
Solicitor General.
Ortega, Presiding Judge, and Lagesen, Judge, and Garrett,
appeals a judgment of conviction for unlawful possession of
methamphetamine, asserting that the trial court erroneously
denied his motion to suppress. He contends that the police
officer's belief that defendant was under the influence
of intoxicants did not give the officer objectively
reasonable suspicion to investigate him for drug possession.
Held: An officer's reasonable suspicion that a
person is under the influence of intoxicants is insufficient
on its own to provide an objectively reasonable basis for
concluding that the person presently possesses
drugs-i.e., something more is required. In the
circumstances of this case, defendant's nervous behavior,
presence at a "known thoroughfare" for drugs, and
"rummaging" in his vehicle did not provide the
"something more" that is required to provide an
offcer who reasonably believes the person is under the
influence of intoxicants with reasonable suspicion that the
person presently possesses drugs.
and remanded.
Or.App. 529] ORTEGA, P. J.
challenges his conviction for unlawful possession of
methamphetamine, ORS 475.894, assigning error to the trial
court's denial of his motion to suppress. He argues that
the officer unlawfully extended an otherwise lawful stop by
investigating whether he possessed drugs without reasonable
suspicion. Although he acknowledges that the officer had
reasonable suspicion to initially stop him to investigate a
reported theft, he contends that the officer's
observation that defendant appeared to be under the influence
of intoxicants did not provide the officer with reasonable
suspicion to extend the stop while he investigated whether
defendant possessed controlled substances. The state responds
that, under the totality of the circumstances, the officer
had reasonable suspicion that defendant possessed drugs when
the officer began investigating drug possession. Ultimately,
we conclude that the officer's belief that defendant
possessed drugs was not objectively reasonable, and we
reverse and remand.
review a trial court's denial of a motion to suppress for
legal error, and are bound by the court's express factual
findings if evidence in the record supports them. State
v. Ehly, 317 Or. 66, 74-75, 854 P.2d 421 (1993). If the
trial court has not made an express factual finding, we
presume that the trial court found the facts in a manner
consistent with its ultimate conclusion. Id.
Consistently with that standard, we state the facts as they
were recounted at the suppression hearing by the
investigating officer.
On a
rainy morning just before 4:00 a.m., the Tigard Police
Department received a report that someone was trying to steal
gas from a closed gas station in Tigard. Officer Powers was
dispatched to investigate. Based on his experience, he knew
that the gas station was a "known thoroughfare for drug
users, drug deals" and that the gas station had "a
lot of problems with people *** [b]reaking in to the-the
bathroom there *** [a]nd either *** sleeping in there or
using drugs." The suspects were described as a male and
a female in a "dark-colored pickup, possibly a Toyota,
th[at] was slightly [raised] and had overhead lights."
Powers arrived at the station within two minutes of the [286
Or.App. 530] report and observed a "blue pickup, a
Toyota with * * * overhead spotlights, occupied by a male and
a female * * * parked under the covered kind of carport area
of the gas pumps." The pickup started to drive away when
Powers pulled in to the gas station. Powers activated his
emergency overhead lights and stopped the vehicle.
approached defendant, who was driving the pickup, and
explained that he was stopping defendant because he had
received a report that someone was stealing gas. Powers asked
to see defendant's driver's license. Defendant, who
along with his passenger, appeared "pretty nervous,
" provided the license and "kept telling"
Powers that he "didn't do anything wrong. Do you
want to search my car? Go for it." Powers found
defendant's statement odd because he had not asked
defendant "if there was anything in his car that I
should be alarmed of or if there was anything illegal in his
car." Defendant's voice was "pretty
excited" and he "kept fidgeting in the car."
asked defendant "where he was coming from" and
"where he was going." Defendant initially explained
that he was traveling from his home in northeast Portland to
the "beach." Powers found it "curious"
that someone would be heading to the beach at 4:00 a.m. on a
rainy morning. Defendant clarified that he was first headed
to a casino in McMinnville, and then "we'll probably
go to the beach." Defendant was vague about which
"beach" he was ultimately headed to, and Powers
found it "curious" that someone driving from
northeast ...

I used the PML Childhood cards and the Kaleidoscope Paper, as well as some stamp sets I have, to quickly create this mini album.
Here is the front of the album, which I have held together with the zip strip.
As it opens up, there are different flaps to decorate and use for photos and journalling.
The PML cards are perfect to add quotes, space for writing and some photo mats.
I even cut out the balloon from one of the cards to add a decorative element to the album.
Here is a short video I made of my Kaleidoscope Mini Album, showing closer details of each flap and how I put it together.
This album is super quick, and very cute for a last minute tween gift idea!

Anti-VEGF therapy commonly used to treat macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy requires intravitreal injections every 4-8 weeks. Injections are uncomfortable, time-consuming, and carry a small risk of infection and retinal damage. However, drug delivery via noninvasive methods to the posterior segment of the eye has been a major challenge due to the eye's unique anatomy and physiology. Here we present a novel nanoparticle platform for on-demand drug delivery using an ultraviolet (UV) light-degradable polymer, which allows for temporally-controlled, noninvasive drug release.
Nanoparticles containing a fluorescent dye as a model drug are formulated by emulsion-evaporation techniques. UV irradiation conditions are determined by examining their effects on cultured lens explants. Control over payload release upon UV irradiation is studied in vitro on various cell lines, including retinal pigment epithelium cells. Biocompatibility of the materials is tested via electroretinograms (ERG), intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements, histology, and qRT-PCR for common cytokines. Temporal control over payload release in vivo is examined in rats by fluorescent imaging of retinal flatmounts of irradiated and non-irradiated eyes at various timepoints post-injection of nanoparticles. Therapeutic potential is studied using nanoparticles containing a biologic VEGFR/PDGFR inhibitor in a laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model.
Lens explant studies show 5 min of 365 nm UV light at 8mW/cm2 does not cause cloudiness characteristic of cataract formation. There was no significant difference in electrophysiological response, IOP, or IL1β and TNFα expression in the retinas of eyes injected with our UV-responsive particles relative to saline- or non-injected eyes at 7 days post-injection. Nanoparticles containing fluorescent dye remain intact and responsive to light up to 12 weeks post-injection.
Materials formulated in nanoparticles are safe in the eye and retain their ability to release drug upon irradiation with benign levels of UV light up to at least 12 weeks post-injection. This nanoparticle platform has the potential to deliver a variety of molecules, including small hydrophobic drugs and proteins.

Hyundai announces Special Edition Paddon Santa Fe
Hyundai New Zealand is celebrating Hayden Paddon's historic nine minute victory at Rally Otago with the announcement of a new Special Edition of its award-winning Santa Fe SUV. Bowater Hyundai has one in the showroom, available now.
Paddon, New Zealand's most successful rally driver, partnered with his regular navigator John Kennard and drove a new Hyundai New Zealand built i20 rally car to win Rally Otago, giving the AP4 version of the i20 its maiden victory on debut.
Hyundai New Zealand General Manager, Andy Sinclair, said the company had begun planning the Hayden Paddon Special Edition Santa Fe – HP Edition for short – when Paddon re-signed with Hyundai New Zealand as well as with the factory rally team for the coming three seasons in October 2015.
"The Santa Fe Series II was going out to showrooms at the time, and knowing how deep the passion for our SUVs runs with Kiwi motorists, it seemed appropriate to mark the occasion with a Special Edition version. Then when the i20 AP4 project came together and Hayden won Otago by such a huge margin, it made the Santa Fe even more significant," he said.
Hayden Paddon says there are few better ways to acknowledge the exciting relationship between Hyundai New Zealand and himself.
"The new Santa Fe is an awesome SUV that really suits the Kiwi way of life and this Special Edition version is very cool. Hyundai has been incredibly supportive of us over the past few championship seasons, and now there's a chance for customers to share in this relationship and maybe even come watch us in action."
Each Hayden Paddon Special Edition Santa Fe comes with two signed Hyundai WRC rally jackets,a rally experience with Hayden Paddon and the NZ-built i20 rally car in New Zealand, and the chance to win a VIP tour for two people to see Hayden Paddon in action with the Hyundai World Rally Team at Rally Australia in November 2016.
"That's a one in 50 chance for the rally experience of a lifetime. Hayden's form this year has been excellent, and we can expect he will really turn it on at Rally Australia," said Andy Sinclair.
"The Special Edition Santa Fe is offered by Hyundai's national network of dealers to Hyundai customers who are looking to stand out on urban streets, in car parks at winter sports and on rural byways."
Based on the CRDI Elite 7S version of the new Santa Fe Series II launched in late 2015, the HP version arrives from the factory fitted with Brembo brakes, 19 inch OZ Racing alloy wheels fitted with Michelin tyres, sports-tuned suspension and a subtle but distinctive body kit.
Local additions include a blacked-out front grille, tinted windows and HP-branded interior items including dashboard badges, HP embossed headrests and centre console with signature orange stitching, bespoke orange-stitched door armrests and HP-branded floor mats.
Outside there are tasteful HP Edition graphics, HP wheel centre caps and badging.
The Hayden Paddon Special Edition Santa Fe is priced at $79,990 RRP.
"People wanting to celebrate this sensational partnership between Hayden and Hyundai – and to make a very stylish Special Edition Santa Fe their own – would be well to move quickly. We don't expect these 50 vehicles to be around the dealerships very long," says Andy.

How to Perform Acupressure on Dogs, Cats and Horses
Published: 09th May 2010
Views: N/A
Acupressure is an non-invasive ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. Unlike veterinary acupuncture done with needles, acupressure treatments, can easily be done by the pet owner at home.
Disease in the body is a state of either excess or deficiency of one or more of the vital substances. The longer that the excess or deficiency, is present the more out-of-balance the animal becomes. A greater imbalance produces more advanced symptoms. The goal of acupressure is to reverse the pathological state and restore the normal flow of QI (energy within the animal). Treatment may involve several stages in which blockages are gradually removed and normal Qi flow is restored.
Indications of Use
Clinical trials and research indicate that acupuncture/acupressure therapy can be effective in treating numerous conditions. Acupressure provides pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and hormone regulation. These effects are helpful in treating a variety of conditions. Muscle soreness, back pain, disc disease, osteoarthritis, and degenerative joint disease comprise the largest group of problems that can be treated with acupressure. Neurological disorders (e.g. seizures, radial nerve paralysis, and laryngeal paralysis) and gastrointestinal disorders may also be helped. Acupressure is very successful as an complimentary treatment in Cushing's disease, hypothyroidism, infertility, asthma, cough, behavioral problems, geriatric weakness, irritable bowel syndrome and skin diseases. It can also be used in emergency first aid to resuscitate an animal who has collapsed.
In many cases, acupressure and Chinese or Western herbs are successfully used in medical conditions that have not responded to traditional western veterinary medical practices. However, acupressure is not an alternative to proper medical care. If your pet is suffering from an illness or injury, obtain veterinary care as soon as possible.
Acupressure should not be done on an area where the animal exhibits extreme sensitivity. If you inadvertently touch an area that is painful, release the pressure immediately. If you pet shies away from being touched in a certain spot, an injury, a localized infection, or a behavioral problem could cause this sensitivity. The sensitive area may relate to a meridian line and sometimes to a specific organ associated with that meridian. If you are able to pinpoint a specific area that is extremely uncomfortable when touched, consult a veterinary acupuncturist to have it checked.
Some health problems can be aggravated by acupressure if you are working around an injured area. Do not apply acupressure directly to wounds, bruises, cuts or surgical incisions, you could damage tissue and increase pain. However, it can be helpful to press points that are near an injury in order to increase circulation in the area. Use only the points that are not painful. If your pet indicates he is in pain when you touch a point, you are too close to the injury.
Preparing to Administer Acupressure
Before starting an acupressure treatment, wash and dry your hands thoroughly. If your hands are cold, run them under warm water. Both you and the animal to be treated should be calm and relaxed. Acupressure should not be preformed on an animal that has been traumatized, just exercised or has just eaten.
Locating Acupressure Points
Unlike acupuncture, acupressure doesn't have to be totally "on target" to be effective. If you are near the acupoint, you will be doing lots of good whether you've hit the precise point or not. By pressing in the vicinity of the point, you will still increasing energy flow in the associated meridian line. Correctly applied pressure should be placed in the valleys of muscle. You should never press into a major nerve, on bone, the spinal cord, or a body cavity.
An excellent source for detailed information on acu-points and full color illustrated charts for dogs, cats and horses can be found at
Pet Remedy Charts.
Pressing the Points
Acupressure is done by exerting pressure with one finger on precise places on the body. Most often, you will use either the middle finger or the thumb. Sometimes, you will find it easier to use one or the other, depending on the exact spot you are treating.
To determine the amount of pressure to use, experiment on your own body, pressing your thumb or middle finger against various places on your face, chest, arm and on your other hand, for 10 to 15 seconds. The pressure should be firm enough so that you experience it as hard and steady, but it should not be painful or damaging to the skin. Always go into a point slowly, beginning with light pressure and increasing it to tolerance. Some animals are more sensitive and will need less pressure. Others will need more pressure for the treatment to be effective. Let the animal be your guide. The technique involves applying light to firm pressure, or circular massage over an acupoint. When holding the point maintain steady, firm pressure, this will help you to avoid angles that may cause you to slip or slide in to or out of a point over the animals fur.
Stimulation of an acupoint is generally around 10 to 15 seconds. Acupoints are the same on both sides of the animal. If you work a point on the right side you should also work the corresponding point on the left side of the body.
The session should not be painful and is well-tolerated by most animals. The entire acupressure treatment should always be comfortable for patients. However, in cases of pregnancy (certain points may cause abortion), open wounds, or infectious diseases, acupressure is contraindicated.
Closing the Session
After an acupressure session you should preform The Closing. This has two functions: one, is to strengthen the energy flow between the points on the same meridians stimulated during your point work; and second, it establishes a healthy cellular memory pattern. Cellular memory is the cell's learned response to a chronic stimulus such as pain. The Closing phase helps the body to maintain the state achieved during point work.
Flat Hand Closing Technique
To perform the Closing, position your hand flat with your palm and fingers in full contact with the animal your working on. Using light pressure slide your hand over your pet from front to rear and top to bottom. Start at the neck, then go over the shoulder, across the back and over the hips. Proceed down the back leg, passing over the hock and terminate the Closing at the end of the rear foot/paw/hoof. Do this on both sides of the body.
Post Treatment
Allow your pet to rest for several hours before resuming work or strenuous exercise.
Chinese or Western Herbal medications can be chosen to support the acupressure treatment.

A greeting found
Imagine this day.
I woke at 7:30 in the morning. I had gone to bed at 2:30 AM last night, so i am little sleepy. But what the hell, I got a class to attend at 8:45. There is 2.5% class participation points in the first class and there is going to be a 5% quiz in the next. Somehow reading notes, I reached in the class at 8:46. I sat through both the classes and going through pre-reads and lecture notes in the class-breaks. No breakfast no meal. Classes get over at 1:15 PM. I run back to my room so that i can get ready for the scholarship interview at 2:40. I shaved myself while going through my application. I took a shower, while revising the possible questions and answers. Wore suit and searched net for information on Citibank and banking simultaneously. I reached interview site at 2:35. And yet I was late. My name had been called earlier. Anyway I waited for 20 minutes and sat through my first interview which lasted for 15 minutes, which went well. At 3:30 I went to cafe to buy a veg-puff and went to shop for an apple. I hadn't eaten anything since the morning. I came to my room at 3:50. I loosened my tie and opened the laptop. Got the email at 4:00 that I was short-listed for the second interview and I am supposed to report to interview (AC-4) site right away. So I again tightened my tie and walked to the AC-4. I got an interview fixed at 5:00 PM. So I borrowed a laptop and started reading about banking, Citibank etc. right outside AC-4. They kept telling me that it is postponed for 10 minutes after every 10 minute. Thus I waited for 2 hours outside in full suit, and trying to make sense of all the web-pages I was going through. I entered the interview room at 6 and was thrown out at 6:10. It went pretty bad. Anyway, I came back to my room, changed to more casual cloths. At 6:30 I was walking towards academic area with laptop in my hand as we needed to submit an assignment next day. We ordered Pizzas as there was not enough time to go for dinner. From 7 PM till 4:00 AM in the morning we worked on this assignment. I finally came to my room at 4:30 in the morning. It had been 21 hours, since I was awake and didn't have a minute to relax. Then I see it on my study desk.
It was yellow envelope. "Happy Birthday Deepak" was written over it. I instantly forgot all the pain that I had gone through in all day. I smiled, put down my bag and lifted the envelope. I opened the envelope to see a really beautiful greeting card from one my quad-mates. Feeling was amazing. I had totally relaxed. I took time to go through the card carefully. Even though I had to wake up at 8 again in the morning, I took my time to hang the card on wall carefully. It was the best thing that happened to me in weeks. Thanks Bankim. It was very special. Would you believe I haven't yet mate Bankim and thanked him personally? But that is what I will do as soon as I finish my next assignment ;).

These Are Dark Days Indeed
June 4: This was one of the toughest days I have had yet. The pack is coming apart faster than I thought. The weather was warm and clear and there were very few spots to rest. The roads are hilly, rocky, and dusty. I need some Pledge to clean my hiking boots.
The one highlight of the trek was the Shinn covered bridge. Normally I would have spent some time examining the exterior of such a structure, but tired and over-heated I viewed it as a great shady spot and rested for awhile within safe from the sun.
I had hoped to reach Chesterhill, but that proved a bridge too far and I settled in behind the Liberty United Church of Brethren to camp for the night. I learned later that Orville and Wilbur Wright's father Milton used to preach here on occasion as he traveled from pulpit to pulpit in Ohio.
Eighteen miles of dirt leave me on the 564 mark.

Daylighting in Schools: An Investigation into the Relationship between Daylighting and Human Performance. Detailed Report.
Daylighting in Schools: An Investigation into the Relationship between Daylighting and Human Performance. Detailed Report. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This study examines the effect of daylighting on human performance, focusing on skylighting as a way to isolate daylight as an illumination source, and separate illumination effects from other qualities associated with daylighting from windows. It establishes a statistical connection between daylighting and student performance and between skylighting and retail sales. Using multivariate linear regression analysis, the study examined 21,000 school records from 3 school districts in 3 states and daylighting conditions in over 2,000 classrooms. Data indicate students with the most classroom daylighting progressed 20 percent faster on math tests and 26 percent on reading tests in one year than those with the least. Similarly, students with the largest windows progressed 15 percent faster in math and 23 percent faster in reading than those with the least. In classrooms where windows could be opened, there was a 7 to 18 percent faster educational progress than those with fixed windows, regardless of air conditioning. These findings are reported to be consistent regardless of curricula or teaching styles. Appendices provide data charts, a report from one of the classroom-level analyses, sample illumination readings, classroom plans and sections, and photographs of schools and classrooms. (GR)

Every generation has a large group of talented filmmakers, and each has their own designated wunderkind. The Greatest Generation had Orson Welles, the Baby Boomers had Steven Spielberg, Generation X has Paul Thomas Anderson, and now Generation Y has Quebec's Xavier Dolan. While most Generation Y filmmakers are largely still playing around in film school, Dolan has already released three acclaimed films at only 24 years old. His debut, I Killed My Mother, only just found U.S. release a few months before his third, Laurence Anyways. But his second film, Imaginary Lovers (generically renamed Heartbeats in the U.S.), is available on Netflix Instant, and with it the discovery of a major talent.
Best friends Francis (Dolan) and Marie (Monia Chokri) meet Nicolas (Niels Schneider) at a dinner party, and the three grow close. Francis and Marie fall for Nicolas, who remains oblivious to their feelings. Over the course of several weeks, Francis and Marie compete for Nicolas' affection, leading to bitterness and outright hostility.
It's familiar territory, to be sure, but the immediacy and potency of the feelings is unmistakable. Francis and Marie are likable, but their hopeless romanticism blinds them to each other's desires and needs. What makes their behavior and unrequited love especially heartbreaking is Nicolas' clear self-absorption and shallowness. This isn't a tale of true lovers battling, but of the powerful pull of first-sight love and lust over someone they hardly even know, friendship be damned. There's a reason Imaginary Lovers is a much more appropriate title.
The real pull to this powerfully wrought but somewhat thin story, however, is Dolan's filmmaking. Worldly filmgoers will recognize tricks borrowed from Wong Kar-wai (sensual slow-motion and gorgeous photography while pop music plays in the background), but Dolan's handling of these elements are far too assured for him to be dismissed as a twentysomething Wong-imitator. The film has a few playful touches as well, including interviews with a group of unrelated jilted lovers who are a bit wiser about love than Francis and Marie. Dolan will no doubt further develop his own unique sensibility, but for now, it's just a pleasure to see a filmmaker who's both bracingly honest and deeply romantic.

30 hand-picked films. A new one every day
Young, pretty and innocent Fanny Hill has lost her parents and must find her way through the perils of 18th century London. Featuring Pre-Code comedy legend Miriam Hopkins (Trouble in Paradise) in one of her last roles!
Naughty and fun!!! MUBI may be exploring new depths, but this is positively highbrow compared to the other films by legendary smut impresario Russ Meyer. If you want an example of his lowbrow work, check out MUDHONEY (1965)!
This film is the kind of mad fusion of personalities that rarely happens anymore. Imagine Pathe hiring Greg Dark to make Wuthering Heights in 98. I do wish I'd been around in the 60s to see this kind of thing first-hand because it couldn't be anymore fascinating. The movie is entertaining in a charmingly antiquated way. Made before Meyer discovered real violence and he really came into his own.
Fanny Hill at least looks good. The art department did a great job of establishing the period, and it's well photographed. The plot, however, is frivolous, and few today would bat an eye at the movie's content, rendering the exploitation label inappropriate. It has a few good laughs, and it certainly could be much worse, but the script is too lightweight for me to recommend this movie. An incredibly average picture.
Pure fun. Although Meyer's female characters are always hyper-sexualized they never fall into typical stereotypes of weakness and reliance on men. The women in this film never do anything unwillingly and always hold the upper hand despite the best efforts of society to keep them down.
Réalisée en noir et blanc, cette bluette fort gentillette dépareille énormément dans la filmographie habituellement bien plus dénudée de Russ Meyer...
Russ Meyer got away with murder with this. Pretentious, boring, fatuous, not even sexy. No nudity and where are the pulchritudinous fillies? A nice slice of sixties exploitation that no doubt was sold via the fact that he got the book rights and had a poster.
unusual because it gives innocence and experience in women equal value
Started out with potential, but then became mind-numbingly repetitive -- couldn't finish it.

Wave Magic
Page 1 of 1 • Share •
Wave Magic
secondary magic
Magic Name: Wave Magic
Magic Type: Caster Magic
Magic Description: Wave Magic is a form of magic that nullifies incoming magic attacks at the user. The user creates waves out of vibrations and can cause explosions when the vibrations hits somebody else's magic. These waves can be thrown as projectiles and the user also seems to be able to change the length and width of these waves. The user can also surround themselves with Wave Magic to make a shield. While inside it, the opponent's body will be continuously zapped.
Weaknesses: This magic only affects a certain type of magical energy and it can only eliminate that particular type. Therefore, when fighting several mages, the user can only negate the effect of one magic. When created a shield with Wave Magic, magic cannot be used inside the Wave, it will not protect the user from physical attacks, if the opponent manages to make contact.
Jewels: 80.000 jewels

Life is exhausting at nine days old!
You wouldn't know it by the pictures I post, but Colt does open his eyes. They are deep, dark gray and they usually look at me like "What on earth is this racket you have birthed me into?"
Before long, however, those eyes close and Colt nestles down for a little nap.
A little squirm here, a little wiggle there before he gets comfortable.
And just like that he's out like a light.
Squishy lips, chubby cheeks and all just snoozing away.
Oops - wait - what was that? Big brothers are playing the drums on old, tin coffee cans? Should I wake up for this?
No, clearly I am the third son and can sleep through a tornado.

If you are a healthy person, you may not see the need to go see a doctor. If you have no chief complains, what is the point in taking time out of your day and paying a copay just to have a doctor tell you that you are perfectly healthy, right? This couldn't be more wrong. Seeing a doctor regularly for preventative healthcare is just as important for a healthy person as it is for a person who is in poor health for several reasons.

Approximately every 38 seconds an American dies from cardiovascular disease. It's a sad statistic that will only get worse if we ignore the problem. Cardiovascular disease is not only the leading cause of death in our nation, but globally as well. A large number of these deaths could be prevented through education and lifestyle change.
Basketball, field hockey, soccer, football, or volleyball -- all things that unite classmates within the school, city, and maybe even state! Your child has practiced all summer, joined rec teams, and studied all of the tricks. Tryouts will start early in the school year, so what could you be forgetting?

Kids are resilient. If you have them, you know this! They bounce back from illness quickly, heal from injuries at a rapid pace, and don't seem to give a second thought to their body's limitations because…well, they're rambunctious! Youth is fun, as it should be for them.

one of the differences
that i anticipate for this quarter is that i'm going to spend a lot more time in my Mom role. The girls have quite a few activities, and they have places to be. My schedule appears to be such that I can get them places. Myself. This is good, because we no longer have a babysitter (she's in France), and the after-school program does not escort children to soccer practice and music lessons and acting classes.
I also like that I don't have class early. Last quarter (spring), I had a pretty hefty course load, and I had classes every day at 8:30. It was okay for me, because the high # of credits needed long days of studying, so being at school by 8:30 was necessary.
This quarter, my earliest class is 10:15. I thought about using the freer mornings to get up later, walk the kids to school for 8 in my running garb, and then go running from there. However, I decided that was going to kill just too much of my day.
So I'm getting up at 5:30, and am back by 6:45 to wake Emz up for her shower. but i don't freak out, i don't run around like a chicken with my head cut off. i slowly fix their breakfast, and then I take a shower, and then walk them to school. Then I come HOME and get all my crap together, and today, I left the house at 8:30, and was at school before 9. I had time to review my readings (one of the necessities now that I read things up to a week in advance) and slowly sip a cup of coffee before class.
Time is a beautiful thing. That is my observation for the Month. I also am fully aware that I better drink it in, since next year at this time, I'll be getting all my suits and work garb cleaned so I can start work.

Indicators on suwanee roofing You Should KnowFollowing a further investigation of our household we found the next key Create quality challenges. Toilet flooring is so uneven that the tub will not drain. Kitchen stove tilts down also to the still left.
Pulte lures you in with Inventive literature, superbly made elevations and consumer incentives. After a agreement is signed, the services, excellent and desire home you believe you may have agreed to get results in being a nightmare from hell.
This calendar year we had large rains in the course of the monsoon year while in the Phoenix region. This induced the ground to collapse exactly where Pulte set during the utilities... The realm wasn't adequately compacted. In my modest community of 100 residences, I have found this has took place in over ten% of the properties.
We have a ranch style duplex with two concentrations and also a cross base. It wanted a complete roof substitute; we went with Timberline asphalt shingles.
Our property has become by far the best searching house within our subdivision. We have received superb reviews from all of our neighbors, guests and delivery professionals. I'd absolutely advise Mr. Roofer of Atlanta for just about any property remodeling job you keep in mind.

The lowest bid is not really constantly the best bid."
We have lost all believe in with this company and my aim now is to tell as quite a few prospective buyers to get leary or not deal whatsoever with this particular builder for his or her good.
We have a 1719 sq. foot solitary spouse and children dwelling that has a fifteen 12 months old roof. On account of hefty rain and hail storms, shingles had been tore off along with the roof starting up leaking in among the list of bedrooms.
Just about every member of my staff members is certified by the CSIA.

The a single Tale four bedroom house is in fact owned by suwanee roofing a colleague of mine. I only took treatment in the roof difficulty given that she's not in the city.
I am with the one 12 months anniversary of shifting into my new Pulte home in California. The obtaining working experience was wonderful taking into consideration our agent went over and outside of to aid us in the buying process. On go in we uncovered a lot of the "tract home" challenges for instance walls that were not straight.
We had our roof tore off and changed with 3000 sq. ft of CertainTeed lifetime guarantee shingles. We also had a single sheathing board changed.
" When requested exactly what the criteria had been he experienced no remedy. So we went to maker website for our flooring and looked at common. In keeping with them It's not necessarily in specifications, and because the floor just isn't leveled it voids their warranty around the flooring. Pulte's solution to this is to send what they told us was a "flooring company" to look at. Guess who confirmed up? An individual from Crownco, Inc., a companion of Pulte!!! Not a flooring company!!!
You will discover marked differences in demographic majorities and minorities amongst The 2 counties. Like Gwinnett, Orange County and Irvine have developed considerably since I arrived in Irvine in 1984. Here's comparative figures that I think are no older than 2015.
A sprinkler was set up given that they failed to realize the enclosed fence was area on the wrong townhouse and it truly is wetting up everything in my enclosed fence place. My closing was four/28/seventeen. I'm however waiting for them to appropriate the issues with the painting so I'm able to go in. The painter lastly came out these days on 5/5/seventeen but they did not have shade of paint about the walls. Just envision your new construction property wanting like this after you signed the papers.

Its a client side hack that I can do with Cheat Engine, with some problems.
Pick up one, search (Double: 1), then drop it and search (Double: 0).
Repeat for second grimoire and narrow down the value for the grimoire and set to "7".
Finish mission without picking up any dice and/or tomes and get the highest tier roll item.
I think this can be incorporated into the trainer, maybe even add values for how many grimoires you want.
*Note, grimoire count cannot exceed 7 as the maximum rollable dice combined is limited to 7 rolls.
This is pretty much the hack that rewards people with the exotic loot upon completion.

Millions of accounts compromised in Snapchat hack
Hackers appear to have posted account info for 4.6 million users of quickie social-sharing app Snapchat, making usernames and at least partial phone numbers available for download.
The data were posted to the website SnapchatDB.info. By late Wednesday morning, that site had been suspended.
The hack was seemingly intended to urge Snapchat to tighten its security measures. The anonymous hackers said they used an exploit created by recent changes to the app, which lets users share photos or short videos that disappear after a few seconds.
By Wednesday afternoon, developers had used the data to set up a website letting Snapchat users find out whether their accounts had been compromised.

spectacular photo up there, no? jeezum. beam me to that landscape, scotty.
yesterday was appointments and errands, shipping packages and making candied nuts for neighbors. i'm actually real happy to NOT be a part of the community around me in my neighborhood right now. this april i moved from the town i grew up in and i'm still dealing with the fallout of feeling claustrophobic from all that's entailed in living in a small town where EVERYONE knows EVERYONE. i just needed a break from it.
BUT, a week or so ago the neighbors here helped me to try and track down my mother's missing dog when i showed up all out of breath and frantic on their doorsteps at dinnertime, no less. so i owe them one. i may be antisocial but i'm not entirely socially inept.
which brings to my mind something COMPLETELY unrelated but i'll share it with you. i was listening to the radio yesterday and some double bass music came on briefly. i freaking love the double bass. if i could get my act together i would learn how to play the double bass and the accordian. funny combo.

Thorpe Park
On Wednesday, July 29 we left the Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow for the final stop of our trip, Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey, England. Operating since 1979, this unique park is surrounded by lakes, making it a series of islands.
Merlin has made this its thrill park, adding lots of big coasters over the last few years. While divided into themed sections, the theming is not always clearly defined. Even so, theming of individual rides is quite elaborate. I will review the park by themed section. We were given 5 Queue Busters, although the park was not that crowded. They suffered from a number of mechanical issues with the coasters this day, so some of us lucked out and got the credits fairly easily while others had a frustrating time getting to everything. We arrived before its 10:00 opening.
This entry section is a large building that houses restaurants and shops. We ate at Fin's Bar & Grill and while my burger was fine, some in my group were not pleased with the food here. We had food vouchers from the park.
Set in the fictional American fishing village of Amity Cove, the theming of this section is very good.
Stealth: (Intamin AG, Accelerator Coaster, 2006) This was my 9th of 14 accelerator coasters.
While it has more to it than Rita, it was basically just up over the top hat and back to the station, but it is not rough – 1 ride.
Flying Fish: (Mack Rides, Powered Blauer Enzian, 1983) This powered coaster has had 3 themes. First it was enclosed as Space Station Zero, then its enclosure was removed in 1990 and it was renamed Flying Fish with a swamp theme until 2004.
It was in storage in 2005 and 2006, and in 2007 it returned with the same name but a beach theme. It gave a good ride – 1 ride.
I did not ride Tidal Wave, a large Shoot-the-Chutes; Storm Surge, a spinning raft ride; Storm in a Teacup, teacups; and Depth Charge, a four lane water slide. There are 2 children's water attractions, Amity Beach and Wet Wet Wet.
This section is themed around an alien attack where a passenger plane has crashed, with excellent theming.
THE SWARM: (Bolliger & Mabillard, Wing Coaster, 2012) This is my 3rd of 8 Wing Coasters, and it is an excellent one.
From its ruined church station
to its crashed passenger plane
to its keyhole effects through a billboard and under the wing of the plane, they have gone all out to set the stage for this attraction.
As an added effect, the last 2 rows are backwards, giving an entirely different perspective on the ride.
Even the keyhole billboard has 2 sides – for those coming and going. The layout is excellent and well-paced. This is arguably the best coaster at this park and one of the best of our trip – 4 rides, forwards & backwards on both sides.
Themed to the popular game, this area looks good.
ANGRY BIRDS 4D EXPERIENCE: This 4-D show was good, staring the Angry Birds – 1 show.
Detonator: Bombs Away: This 100 foot drop tower gave good views before the drop – 1 ride.
I did not ride King Pig's Wild Hog Dodgems.
This tropical paradise section is nicely achieved through its very thick vegetation.
Nemesis Inferno: (Bolliger & Mabillard, Inverted Coaster, 2003)
While not as good as similarly named cousin, it is a good ride and the jungle setting makes for several good foot chopper effects.
It is a good layout but not as well paced as the other one.
After making its cousin his previous milestone, this was Richard's 950th coaster – 2 rides.
Rumba Rapids: This is a good rapids ride in a nice jungle setting and you don't get that wet, which I liked – 1 ride.
I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Maze: This odd walkthrough is based on the popular British TV show of the same name. After orientation you go through several challenges or obstacles before making your way out. I'm sure it probably would mean more if I had seen the show – 1 walkthrough.
I did not ride Mr. Monkey's Banana Ride, a swinging ship ride, with a nice jungle setting, which used to be located in the Ranger County section.
This former section was mainly a children's section, but much of it has been taken over by the yet-to-be-announced new darkride for next year. Perhaps this area will get new theming with the new ride.
This Canadian wilderness themed section is one of the more picturesque parts of the park.
It is unfortunate that the train has been removed as it appeared to have a nice loop around the log flume.
Logger's Leap: This is a good log flume with a wooded setting, good scenery and a great double down drop – 1 ride.
I have never ridden a SkySwat, but Slammer, was not operating this day. I did not ride Rocky Express, a circular ride.
Themed to the Saw films, this section has a horror theme.
Shortly after the coaster opened, a walkthrough haunted house, Saw Alive, opened. After a few seasons if changed to only operating during their Halloween event.
SAW – THE RIDE: (Gerstlauer, Euro-Fighter, 2009)
The theming is excellent on this ride. It has a very great beginning section and the ride is well paced. Its only difficulty is a few really jarring spots, but overall it is a good ride – 1 ride.
Themed around a lost Aztec city, this is really the heart of the thrill rides in the park.
COLOSSUS: (Intamin AG, Looping Coaster, 2002)
Many on the trip did not like this ride, but I quite enjoyed it.
With 10 inversions it is fast paced and doesn't let up.
Many questioned the wisdom of 4 heartline rolls in a row, but I enjoyed it, even if it is excessive. In some way that part reminded me of the long lost Ultra Twister at Astroworld. And for those who thought 4 heartline rolls at the end were too much, it throws in one more, in the opposite direction, just before the brake run, for good measure – 2 rides.
X: (Vekoma, Enclosed Enigma, 1996) Known as X:\ No Way Out from 1996 to 2012, this indoor coaster has a good light package and is fairly long. It is a really fun ride – 2 rides.
This section is heavy on intense flat rides. I did not ride Vortex, a swinging pendulum; Zodiac, an Enterprise; Quantum, a Magic Carpet; or Rush, a Screaming Swing. Samurai, an intense inverting ride, was not operating.
I had limited expectations about this park as I had heard it was just a lot of thrill rides, but I was impressed with the theming and many of the rides are quite good. What most surprised me about the park is that it is really not that big. Had they not had the passageway from Calypso Quay to Canada Creek closed for construction of their new ride, it would have been easy to get anywhere in the park in 5-10 minutes. Even so, it has a lot of attractions and even though the focus has been on thrill rides, they still have some attractions for families. I look forward to a return visit.
We boarded the buses at 5:15 and headed to the Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow one last time.
That night we had a dinner for the entire group – the first time this has been done –
and it gave us a good chance to say goodbye to everyone as we parted ways the next day. Some would head to Ireland for the newest wood coaster, while others were headed to Paris for the parks there. Some would board flights for home while others, us included, would stay in the U.K. for more adventures.
It had been a good trip and the dinner, which was quite good, also afforded the opportunity to publicly thank Kevin Schreiner and Lace Patton for the great job they did in organizing this wonderful trip, as Tim Baldwin is shown here doing. It was truly a great way to bring such a memorable trip to an end.

The visitors hit back with tries from Adam Caves and Buster Lawrence, James Dixon adding a conversion to put them 12-5 up.
Fylde lhit back with an outstanding, individual try by Harlan Corrie, goaled by Greg Smith, which levelled the scores.
On 35 minutes Caves claimed his second try for Birmingham-Moseley, Dixon converting.

This paper summarizes a method for modeling the vibration response of mechanical systems whose configuration may vary during operation. A model of adjacent elements which experience relative translational motion is developed. System Differential equations are derived and then transformed to accept as input angular acceleration rather than torque information at the actuator shafts. A technique for determining this angular acceleration information from optical encoder signals is described. Finally, predicted and actual vibration response for a representative system, a cartesian robot, are presented and compared.

93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm

93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm
93. Sidekick and it keeps flooding and stalling when warm. I hooked up a noid light On the injectors and it flashes really good. When it is about to stall it gets brighter starts to food and then stalls. New rebuild motor. New distributor,cap,wire, plug, ignition module, heat sensors, O2 sensor and computer redone. Timing has been set, sometimes it will run good for a day or two then back to the same thing. The fuel pressure is good. New fuel filter. I trade the MAF with another working one same problem. Any sujestions. Bruce

RE: 93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm
93 sidekick what,? 2door, 4doors, 2wd, 4wd, transmissions 3 or 4 or 5speed stick? its real good to know this first. what car is it? (this tells me what wiring harness you have)
you said injectors with an 'S" so is 16valves G16B engine,
floods, so step one is talk to the ECU ! (the quasi Vulcan mind meld deal" Spook, RIP)
insert the diagnosis jumper clip (paper clip ,unbent) into the DLC connector in front of the battery, (the DLC had rubber cap new car) the wire colors for sure give it away.
on above page click finding the DLC connector. covers 89-2004 trackers)
The CEL must flash 12s. if not , all codes you see there are limphome (not code 51)
limphome mode, is flooding mode. every time.
you saw the NOID go brighter, that is heavy fuel, the ECU did that, and did so in most cases due to wrong inputs (it's just computer inside, and inputs must be correct)
you can drive endlessly with the DLC DIAG connector pulled in, it is harmless. and doing so finds INTERMITTENCY.
if the CEL (check engine lamp) if will not flash on demand, that means its a FEDERAL car (USA fed) and has USA FED NAG switch, slide the nag one time to the other side and now 12s happen.
day1: fixes. (my list)
make sure the front crank pulley front 17mm big bolt head, is set to 94ft/lbs torque, do this first. day 1 , for any kick car new to the barn. or bad happens. easy.
make sure the ECU CAP in the corner(lid off) is not black plastic shelled and not marked Rubicon, (as all those are dead) aka RECapping. ( up to 3 caps can be bad at one time)
i remove the nag switch if found, i just remove it, it has no function now,only makes diagnosis more hard, for sure if loving to crawl on knees finding the darn thing....

RE: 93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm
if code 12s and it floods, hot.
then first check for coolant that is not hot, (180f or more is hot, below 150 is bad news) we check for hot first. with and IR gun.
If it really is hot, then the ECT sensor will read (unplugged) about 300 ohms (ohm meter checked at ECT 2 pins)
the ECU only reports ECT shorted or dead open,hard fails, not reading way off, errors.,
you said new heat sensors, there are 3.
ECT at thermostat housing. engine coolant temp. (many times folks replace this and get the wrong one, SUZUKI has many and so easy to do or buy china clones that are junk)
IAT (on air cleaner box, but some 93 have none)
and dash 1 wire sensor for H<>L engine temp.
next is O2:
O2 sensors new, fails too with exhaust leaks or wires to it wrecked, taKE OFF THE heat shields yet and see if #4 exh. tube is cracked,? as most are, on the 16v but never on 8v.
the O2 if it sticks at 0v out, the engine goes horribly rich. In most cases the ECU will not warn of this...(unlike newer cars do , 96+)
there is no OTC scan tools for this car, so we must do tests to find out of ECU is confused and way, with meter. and such.
this can suck air (putt suck putt suck putt suck air)
if its not too bad its ok, if it sucks air the 02 rails.
rails means slammed to 0volts DC.
0v = rich as pig.

RE: 93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm
one guy here found some very special hot rated epoxy that seal this, up(above photo). for exhaust system rated. (at least a stop gap measure or to test)
most 16v do this, if still stock is yours stock>?
all parts original on car?, , still have a CAT?
good luck to you !

I had the same issue with the exhaust manifold, I think it results from the back cylinder being served the EGR gasses which causes the cast pipe
to operate at a different temperature. I tried to get the Thorley style headers but they were out of stock. Luckily, I found a local guy who's
shop specialized in cast iron repairs. My cast header was heated in their oven and brazed while hot. So far, it is holding.

RE: 93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm
It still has the cat. I think it's OS the temp sensor. I just ordered it. Found the link on how to read the codes. Thank you, Bruce
Post: #8
RE: 93 Sidekick Floods and stalls when warm
go get em tiger !
Id love to see that guy weld cast Iron, its super SKILL set that, pre_heating it and special rod. thanks Fetcher.
yes #4 exh runner steals exhaust gasses and sends the through the head tunnel to the EGR main.
The OS sensor, (oxy ?) if it sticks to 0 volts, the ECU goes far far rick, way too rich, in 1996, they cured the way way to rich to way less, due to melting so many cat converters,.
On this car it can go super rich, for many reasons
O2 bad, sensor, sure.

I am so stinkin' excited! Going to the concert is Max and Blue-Eyed Girl's birthday present since they both celebrate in February. It will be Blue-Eyed Girl's first "real" concert. (Not counting county fair concerts.)
My first concert was a gift for my 11th birthday - my mom and I went to see John Denver. The opening act was the Starland Vocal Band. No offense Mom, but I'm really glad my kids won't have to wonder what's "Afternoon Delight"???
I am filled with gratefulness beyond measure that Christian Music is where it is today - that my kids and I can rock out to Jesus songs. Music with a message, music with hope. Everyday in our house, in the car, on our ipods we can fill our minds with truth and faith.
Here a little sampling of what we'll be hearing tonight:
Rock On Jesus Freaks!!
PS: Buford's not going. He didn't think he could quite get his "freak on" to Toby Mac. He's more the "Old Rugged Cross" or "Free Bird" type. Nor does he want to deal with post-concert headache and deafness. We will miss you honey - make sure you talk loud the next couple of days unless you want to hear, "Huh?" even more than you already do!

A new feature has been unveiled in a shopping area thanks to the support of local businesses.
Whitley Lodge Community Spirit (WLCS) has funded the new community bench at Whitley Lodge Shopping Centre, in Whitley Bay.
And they have also donated £400 to Whitley Lodge Under Fives to buy new equipment.
Canon Sue Hart, a Reader at St Mary's Parish Church and Chair of Whitley Lodge Community Spirit, said: "The bench purchase represents a significant proportion of the WLCS funds raised this year but we felt it essential to give the opportunity for people to enjoy a sit down and to potentially engage with each other socially, particularly the elderly within our community."
Carol Shields, Whitley Lodge Under Fives manager, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen by Whitley Lodge Community Spirit to receive their very generous donation.
"We will be looking to buy some play equipment for the children joining us this September, of which we still have limited vacancies available."
The remaining monies will go towards the funding of the Christmas celebrations as well as next year's summer fair but there is a small pot still available for any other local organisation that may benefit from a little financial help before Christmas.
Other recent WLCS purchases have included the flower planters outside the shops, the Christmas lights on the lampposts and a park bench for Whitley Lodge First School.
The next WLCS meeting is on September 2, at 6pm at The Kittiwake. Residents, businesses and supporters of Whitley Lodge are all welcome.
Whitley Lodge Community Spirit is a non-profit organisation raising funds for the local Whitley Lodge area to run the summer and Christmas fairs. It is run by volunteers from the Whitley Lodge businesses, St Mary's Church and residents within the area.
Whitley Lodge Under Fives is a sessional pre-school that meets daily and incorporates a Toddler group, which meets on two afternoons per week.

Zebra dove or barred dove that has beautiful song in the world is very expensive in Thailand, Malaysia, and Philippine, and Indonesia. There are numerous Zebra dove on those areas.
Zebra dove performance is not beautiful. They have zebra-like color gray and brown. The iris of the bird are various such as yellow, blue, and green. The length is not more than 20-23 cm. There is albino zebra dove with red iris eye. The unique albino price is very expensive.
Photo by Oggie dog
The beak is straight at curfew at the edge. The feet are in color like most doves feet. This dove is solitaire dove unlike other dove that lives in a group.
The habitat of the bird is secondary jungle, savanna, and farm crop. It likes seed, grain, and small insect. In farm, the breeder feed them with high quality seed such as paddy, millet, black seed, red rice, ketan, and others. Cuttlefish bone that contains calcium is also good for this bird. Some breeder also mixes the seed with honey and chicken eggs. Some Java people make traditional medicine so the bird can sing beautiful. The hobbyist put the bird at high place so people can hear the song.
The female can lay one or two eggs in a clutch. Both male and female will hatch and care the bird until they can independent. In the farm, the breeder do not let zebra dove to hatch and care their eggs. The breeder want the zebra dove lays eggs only. They will take the eggs and give it to ring-necked dove. The eggs will hatch in 17-19 days. The ring necked dove will care the zebra dove kid for one to one a half month.
Zebra dove are raise in big farm intensively. The owner selects the best breed from the champion zebra dove. The breeder believes that the champion will bear the champion too. Surely, the breeder also selects the good female that can sing beautiful.
The hobbyist often organized zebra dove championship before avian flu H5N1. The winner of the championship could get prize and it price increase to thousands dollar. A hobbyist dares to barter SUV car with zebra dove champion. The avian flu has crushed this business. We find rarely any zebra dove contest today. The breeder also cannot sell much zebra dove as much as before avian flu. They do not expand the business. Some breeders prefer to close the farm because they cannot stand to finance the operational costs.

If you follow me on Instagram you most likely saw my picture yesterday of my newest gadget the Jawbone UP. In case you're unfamiliar with the world of electronic fitness, this nifty bracelet is a 24/7 piece of jewelry that tracks things like active and non-active time, sleep cycles, heart rate, etc. When I plug it in to my phone it syncs up with the UP app and tells me all kinds of fun things about my day.
It's been just under 24 hours since I started wearing my UP and so far I like it. It's comfortable and doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME!" on my wrist. The set up was extremely slick, with clear cut instructions on the packaging. I also like that the UP app plays nice with my Lose It! App for food tracking and several other diet and exercise apps.
Some of the most appealing features to me are the reminders I can set. This fun little guy buzzes at me to remind me to stop and stretch, to do my PT, and gives me a little buzz when I have been sitting for too long. (You can tell the app what "too long" is for you. Currently I have mine set to buzz after 45 minutes of inactivity). Another thing I find neat about the UP is that it woke me up this morning when I was at my lightest sleep cycle. Which is awesome because I am NOT a morning person. At. All.
Instead of my alarm waking me out of a dead sleep at the same time every morning, my UP senses when I am at my lightest cycle of sleep within a one hour window of my preferred wake up time and alerts me to wake up. Then, over my morning coffee I plugged the bracelet in to my phone and was able to see all of my sleep data. How often I shifted in my sleep, how many hours I slept solid between waking and then it provides suggestions on how to get a better night's sleep in. I dig it.
So, what am I hoping to gain from this experiment you ask? The answer to that is both simple and complicated. Anything. I am looking for anything. I'm looking for quality of sleep data, activity (or non-activity) data, changes in body temperature, heart rate, anything that will point me in a direction I haven't gone yet.
I'm hoping to somehow find a way to utilize this health and fitness craze to benefit those of us who are more couch and bed bunnies than gym bunnies. Maybe there is something this UP can tell me about my lifestyle that I don't already know.
If you're interested to see how all of this plays out, I will be posting things about the UP band itself and what information I gain from it under the Let's Try This…. category. If you have any questions or suggestions about the product or how to utilize it, I'd love to hear from you.
I'm all about connecting with fellow spoonies so please find me on Instagram at Secretly.a.Superhero and on Twitter at Elizakate21. You can follow me on Facebook too at Facebook.com/Secretly.a.Superhero.

Discount Jumps Most Since 2012 on Adama Stake Sale to ChemChina
(Bloomberg) -- Discount Investment Corp. saw the biggest gain in almost four years after entering into an accord to sell its remaining stake in Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd., the world's largest maker of generic agro-chemicals, to China National Chemical Corp.
Shares in Discount leaped 23 percent to 10.90 shekels at the close in Tel Aviv in 25 times the 3-month average daily volume. The yield on the company's 4.95 percent bonds maturing December 2025 dropped 117 basis points to 6.09 percent, the lowest level since November 2014.
China National, known as ChemChina, will pay Discount, owned by debt-ridden IDB Development Corp., $230 million for its 40 percent holding in Adama and will forgive a $1.17 billion loan, the company said in a statement. The Beijing-based manufacturer bought a controlling stake in 2011.
IDB, controlled by Argentine businessman Eduardo Elsztain, needs to raise funds for the company's operations and has been seeking the sale of assets. Discount said it expects to post a 690 million shekel ($178 million) profit from the sale to ChemChina. The regulator is now demanding the company divest the controlling stake in its Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. unit via the Tel Aviv bourse after several attempts to sell Clal fell through.
The yield on IDB's 4.95 percent debt due December 2025 slumped 189 basis points to 11 percent, the lowest level since January 2015.

Hey Olix! Long time no see!
If you don't mind a bit of a learning curve, Blender has a video editor that should be capable of everything you need it to do. I haven't used it much myself, but it's been used in many professional production pipelines, so it should be fairly full-featured.
Here's a 23 minute tutorial about using Blender for video editing (aimed at new users):
http://processdiary.com/video-editing-i ... roduction/
Like the rest of Blender, it's designed around getting stuff done quickly rather than being super friendly to new users, but I reckon you could get the hang of it in an hour or so if you use the setup in that video tutorial. Basic stuff like inserting a video or audio file can be done by dragging the files onto the timeline, so it shouldn't be too bad. Have fun! If you've got any questions, I might be able to help.

Another wee bumper could have been: "Here! You all want to see Maddy's health records? HERE they ARE!"
But NO. Nothing, and still nothing new in that department for the PJ. No Health Records / Files of any sort. TA-BOO! And the CC (Credit Cards) records / account statements copies are equally TABOO.
Though, imagine the financial BOOST it would have given to the FUND!
Here is something I have spotted from my readings (and it's brought me BACK to an OLD Topic of MINE on the "3as"' former forum... I'm glad that Thoughts Do Stick!!!):
maternity ward pic?
It makes you think though - esp as Kate never seems to talk as if she really carried and gave birth to Madeleine. It's all "the pregnancy was so easy", "when Madeleine appeared" etc...the last bit is how adoptive parents talk. "When dhe came to us," sort of thing.
Was Madeleine carried by a surrogate mother? Was she adopted?"

Here is the monthly summary of products used up:
Week of October 24th:
- John Masters Sweet Orange & Silk Protein Styling Gel: I mix this gel with a styling cream to create my personalized curly-girl hair cocktail. (Repurchase: Done.)
- Mastey de Paris Traité: I love re-finding amazing products that I've used in my past (Review: June 2011). This shampoo continues to woo me so I'm staying with what works! (Repurchase: I bought a new bottle this past weekend).
- Bobbi Brown Brush Cleaning Spray: I can't get enough (Review January 2010). I need to find the frequent-buyer discount for this product. But at least my brushes are uber clean.(Repurchase: Check!)
- Trish McEvoy Deep Taupe Eye Shadow: This is my go-to crease shadow that always performs well. It's a neutral brown, plum, taupey shade that blends like a dream. (Repurchase: I rarely buy a shadow twice, but I'll make the exception for this one.)
- Molton Brown Intoxicating Davana Blossom Foaming Bath Oil: This was an awesome bath treat that I gave myself after completing my first 5k run (Review June 2011). (Skip: This bath product was a one-time luxury item, so I will not repurchase it at this time.)
- LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter: This hand and cuticle product has lasted for months and months, and my hands look (and feel) uber soft (Review March 2011). (Skip: Just for now! I have some other hand products to try. Of course, I might weaken if I get near a LUSH store during my travels next week.)
- Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant & Deodorant Advanced Solid (Sensitive Skin version): It's the best in class (Review Nov. 2010)! I've been very impressed with this deodorant since I started using it last fall. (Repurchase: I purchased it online and I'm waiting for it to arrive. In the mean time, I'm using a travel-size version of the same product.)
- Chanel VITALUMIÈRE AQUA (B10 shade): I always do a happy dance when I completely finish a foundation. I switch around now and again, so it usually takes me ages to do it. However, this is not the case with Chanel VITALUMIÈRE AQUA (Review March 2011). I have used this product nearly everyday since February. (Backup: I repurchased another bottle during Nordstrom's last triple reward points event.)
- Sonya Dakar Nourishing Body Oil (in Verbena Cypress): I've finished my second bottle since I started using it last fall (Review November 2010). Sadly, I've fallen out of love with this product. (Skip: I can't justify its $65 price tag anymore.)
