The report is a ten-year projection that maps out where the government scorekeeper thinks the economy is headed, how public spending will be affected by the still sluggish recovery, and what taxpayers can expect over the coming decade. The warnings in the report are not encouraging.Continued Deficits: In his 2014 State of the Union (SOTU) Address, President Obama said that under his and Congress' efforts America's "deficits [have been] cut by more than half." This is true in dollar figures. The 2009 deficit of $1.4 trillion has shrunk down to $770 billion in 2013, but overspending remains for each of the next ten years. CBO forecasts that the deficit will start growing again after next year's low of $478 billion not just in dollars but also as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This will occur because after 2014, the growth in spending will outpace the growth in revenues.More Debt: It follows, the increasing deficits will only pile on more to the publicly-held debt, which will increase by more than $4 trillion (to almost $17 trillion) by the end of the decade. CBO projects that the debt will grow from 72.1 percent of the economy today to 79.2 percent by 2024. Here are many implications associated with the continued increase in government borrowing, including:More Debt Ceiling Crises: As the Treasury Department's statutory authority to borrow expires tomorrow, President Obama and Congressional Democrats are calling for a "clean" increase in the debt ceiling while Republicans have been unable to come to a consensus on what reforms to support in exchange for a possible ceiling hike. On Friday, the Treasury will be required to take "extraordinary measures" to keep the government running by prioritizing federal spending and moving funds from other accounts to pay workers and contracts. Taxpayers should plan for these showdowns to continue without real spending reform.Mounting Liabilities: As the government borrows more just to remain afloat, it will be forced to dedicate more tax dollars to financial obligations and less to activities. Without additional massive tax hikes, servicing the debt's interest payments and expending more resources for runaway entitlement programs will eventually crowd out any other programs, defense or domestic discretionary.Thus far, Congress and the President have been unable to agree on any significant, long-term reform of the federal government's entitlement programs, and the longer that they delay, the larger the expense will be. Moreover, the President's SOTU address laid out an agenda for new taxes and new spending proposals that would cost at least $40 billion a year and Congress all too frequently resorts to budgetary gimmicks to mask current spending with illusory savings down the road.There are options that have already been introduced in Congress. As NTUF researchers have said in the past, legislators have at least $453 billion of non-overlapping spending reduction measures already introduced in Congress that could significantly cut this year's deficit. That figure is based on findings reported in our BillTally report on the first six months of the 113th Congress. Additional savings measures have been proposed since then and will be released in a pending First Session report.Most Expensive Bill of the WeekThe Bill: S. 1285, the Small Business Innovation Act of 2013Annualized Cost: $200 million ($1 billion over five years)Just after the recession began, economists noted that entrepreneurial activity across the U.S. increased, perhaps in response to rising unemployment. Yet according to a 2013 report from the Kauffman Foundation, business startup rates have fallen, with entrepreneurial activity varying widely across the U.S.That report caught the attention of Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), whose home state of Wisconsin had one of the lowest business startup rates in the country, according to the report. In response, she introduced the Small Business Innovation Act to provide financial support to new businesses through a new program within the Small Business Administration (SBA). S. 1285 would increase the SBA's authority to guarantee payments issued by small business investment companies (SBIC), which are privately owned venture capital funds that receive additional funding from the government.In a press release, Senator Baldwin noted that the additional funding would be aimed at startup businesses that specialize in "growth areas" such as biotechnology, information technology, and agricultural and environmental science: "[The bill] strengthens our investment in the building blocks of an innovation economy -- science, research and technology -- and will help us create an economy built to last." In the 111th Congress, H.R. 5297, the Small Business Jobs Act, as introduced included a program similar to Senator Baldwin's proposal but it was later struck out of the version of the bill that was signed into law. An estimate by CBO included the program before H.R. 5297 was amended and CBO scored it as a $1 billion increase in federal spending over five years. There are no offsets to the new spending included in the bill, thus it would be in addition to current spending.In FY 2013, SBA spent $169.7 million for existing entrepreneurial development programs, such as Small Business Development and Veteran Business Outreach Centers. The Department of Commerce's Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship also spent $66 million last year on similar activities.To learn more or discuss this bill visit WashingtonWatch.com. Least Expensive Bill of the WeekThe Bill: S. 1860, the Steps Toward Access and Reform (STAR) Act of 2013Annualized Savings: $3.6 billion ($18 billion over five years)Health care policy analysts frequently cite medical liability reform as one of the ways that lawmakers can reduce the overall cost of health care services in the United States. The argument for reforming the existing legal frameworks is that as it becomes easier to sue health care providers more often and for higher amounts of damages, doctors try to safeguard themselves against financial loss by ordering excessive or unnecessary tests and procedures.Although additional tests might help avoid a lawsuit, the costs -- both in terms of finances and time -- to patients can add up quickly. The problem is exacerbated when, due to increased risk of damage claims, medical providers are faced with higher premiums and less access to liability insurance (which protects doctors against monetary losses in lawsuits). Congress has debated the merits of reshaping the liability system through legislative action many times, sometimes including it in bills featuring other health care reform provisions as well.In December, Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) introduced the STAR Act. S. 1860 would limit the window during which a lawsuit could be filed to within three years of the medical damages in question. Additionally, it would limit noneconomic damage claims to $250,000 and preempt all state and local laws related to health care lawsuits.In the 112th Congress, similar provisions were included in H.R. 5, the Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare (HEALTH) Act. NTUF's estimate for the STAR Act is based on a CBO report for that bill, which determined that medical liability reforms would decrease federal spending on Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, the Defense Department's TRICARE for Life program, and subsidies for enrollees in health insurance exchanges by $12.1 billion over five years.To learn more or discuss this bill visit WashingtonWatch.com. Most FriendedThe Bill: H.R. 3811, the Health Exchange Security and Transparency Act of 2014Annualized Cost: UnknownNumber of Cosponsors: 75 House MembersIt is not uncommon that new computer programs or systems are initially accompanied with various bugs or glitches. Such problems are generally anticipated, which is why software companies put their coding through vigorous testing. They try to identify and repair serious flaws before release to the general public. The national rollout of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provided a textbook example of the inefficiencies that often crop up when the public sector takes on large-scale projects. The ACA established a network of state and federal websites designed to enroll participants into new insurance plans or Medicaid. By the end of the first day, thousands of users reported being unable to access the website or sign up for coverage through the online forms. It became readily evident that the network was rushed to completion before it was consumer-ready. The debacle led to lower-than-expected enrollment figures, and prompted several high-profile hearings on Capitol Hill featuring Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.Aside from the problems with the site's user interface, several experts have warned that Healthcare.gov lacks appropriate security measures to protect users' personal information. In January, private security firms testified before Congress about a number of "critical or high-risk findings to personal information" that were apparent even without any intensive hacking into the site.In light of the security concerns, Congressman Joseph Pitts (R-PA) introduced the Health Exchange Security and Transparency Act of 2014. H.R. 3811 does not specify any changes to the site's function or underlying code, but would require the government to notify individuals within two days if it discovers a security breach that could compromise users' personal information.In a Statement of Administration Policy, the White House said that it opposed the legislation due to "unrealistic and costly paperwork requirements" that could hamper law enforcement investigations. CBO's cost estimate of the legislation determined that it would not impact direct spending, but did not comment on its potential impact on discretionary spending for potential administrative expenses. A bill from the previous Congress, S. 1408, the Data Breach Notification Act of 2011, would have required most federal agencies "that collect, transmit, store, or use sensitive personal information to notify any individuals whose information has been unlawfully accessed." CBO determined that would have cost $3 million per year for the Federal Trade Commission and federal law enforcement agencies to specify how the required notification procedures would work, but that administrative costs to other federal agencies would be minimal. It is unclear whether that cost would apply to this more limited proposal.All 75 cosponsors of H.R. 3811 are Republicans.To learn more or discuss this bill visit WashingtonWatch.com.

Two guest blogs in a row? How awesome is that??
Doreen Beltz, wife to 1, mom to 5, and family pastor to many at The River Church, Kalamazoo, MI (in that order!) has been kind enough to write up her experience with the international adoption of their two adorable little Chinese girls.
The Beltz Family International Adoption Experience:
Whether starting or expanding your family, the decision to become a parent is one giant step closer to God. He designed us to "be in family" and glorify Him through our relationships with other family members. There are something like 28 legally "accepted" definitions of what constitutes a family nowadays...humans are so creative.
My family consists of me, my awesome husband, 1 biological daughter (15), 2 biological sons (12 & 11) and 2 daughters (both 6) adopted from China. Adoption has ebbed and flowed over time and everyone has an opinion about it. Personally, I feel it's a beautiful thing.
Both of our international adoption processes were typical. That is to say that there was nothing predictable, simple or inexpensive about either adventure! Nonetheless, I have been both spiritually-strengthened and deepened as a mom through these experiences.
If you are considering an international adoption, begin with prayer. Work with your spouse to be clear that you are "on the same page", as the process creates stress in every area of family life and finances. Work with a reputable adoption agency (we chose Adoption Associates in Jenison, MI) and line up resources of support for you, your spouse and your children.
We adopted Lydia in 2004 at the age of 14 months and 5-year-old Margaret Mae in 2009, both from China. The girls are 10 months apart and polar opposite in temperament. (Which is actually awesome--they get along like peas and carrots, each with her own "turf"!)
Both adoptions were considered "special needs", as they both have congenital heart defects, now repaired. Because of the special needs classification, our time frame was shorter than most--completed in about a year. Typically, international adoptions vary between 2 and 3 years from start to finish and some require extensive in-country stays or multiple trips. I spent 10 days in China the first trip and 15 days the second trip, before bringing the girls home.
Each adoption cost us about $23K, more than we anticipated in each case. Delays, changing regulations and hidden costs add up quickly and really test one's perseverance. However, costs can be shaved by taking advantage of tax credits, employer contributions (thanks Pfizer) and other opportunities for financial assistance.
Adding to the family (no matter how you do it!) certainly shakes things up and requires sacrifice from all. But when you are living in line with God's plan for His people and adding to His family in the process, He will guide, encourage and protect you every step of the way!

When we first opened our doors for business in July 2009, the wireless internet service we provided for our guests was fairly basic – but at that time, those who arrived here with computers and/or smart phones were few and far between.
With each passing year though, good internet access has become more and more important and to be honest, our system had been struggling to keep up, so one of our little jobs this past winter was to upgrade wireless access in each our three villas.
Not so little as it turned out, but worth it once the task was completed and all working as it should in time for the arrival of 2013's first guests.
And the new system acquitted itself without a hitch until a big electrical storm on the evening of Saturday May 11 fried the brand new router we'd bought so everyone could get online.
Not only that, but the booster system installed in the villas so that each picks up a good signal got melted as well.
And so did our own phone line. And a phone.
Problem was, we had guests here at the time and with all this happening on a Saturday night, where in southern Abruzzo can you buy a new router on a Sunday so they can continue getting online ?
The answer is you're not exactly spoiled for choice…
The router I ended up with was made by a company in the Netherlands – and while Dutch football, cheese, tulips, artists, gin, beer and much else besides are rightly world-famous, I don't think wireless internet routers are ever going to be added to that celebrated list.
It was worse than bad. Five days later, back it went for a refund.
A quick flick through Amazon Italia then produced router number 3 in this saga.
It arrived last Monday, and wow ! It was just terrific ! Worked like a dream, fresh out of the box. By a million miles, the best router I've ever owned.
Then this Monday we had another storm and that got zapped as well.
The supreme irony was that as soon as I'd heard the first rumble of thunder, I'd quickly started unplugging the system.
But not quite quickly enough…
Router 4's on its way. Same model as Router 3. But bizarrely, the price on Amazon Italia had gone down €20 in a week. Which was more than welcome because this little adventure's started to get just a tad pricey.
(Financial tip: Buy shares in Asus Computers. They're rocketing)
I've ordered one of those surge protector things too. Twice bitten and all that…
But I'm proud to tell you that through all this, we've actually kept our internet access going. When we upgraded our old system, for some reason I held onto the old, antiquated router. Good call as it's turned out.
As long as all three lots of villa guests stick to surfing and don't all decide to stream a 3-hour movie in HD and do some heavy-duty online gaming all at the same time, it purrs along just fine.
Bit slow – but then again, so's everything else in Italy.
New one will arrive early next week.
And the weather's getting better by the day too.
What else can possibly go wrong ?
Don't answer that…

5 Lessons from the Largest Scientific Study on Women, Ever - White men have been the primary subjects of scientific research for most of medical history, making it pretty difficult to know how to treat conditions that affect other populations, particularly women. Take menopause: For years, doctors prescribed long-term use of hormones estrogen and progestin to help women manage symptoms during and after menopause because it helped women feel better. But in 1991, researchers wanted a definitive answer as to whether hormones used to ease menopause's symptoms were helping women more than they were hurting them. So, the National Institutes of Health launched the largest study ever focused exclusively on women to answer that question.
5 Lessons from the Largest Scientific Study on Women, EverDubbed the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), the research project recruited 68,132 postmenopausal women to participate. They were divided into groups, some taking just estrogen, some taking estrogen and progestin, and some taking placebos. After over a decade of observation, the researchers stopped the trials early, in 2002 and 2004, because it was so clear that hormones posed serious health risks to the women. However, researchers have continued to follow up with these women in the years since, and have also tested other health interventions on the group, including low-fat diets and taking vitamin D and calcium. In 1998, an observational component of the WHI launched, with another 93,676 participants, to study even more aspects of women's health. Much of the data collected over the years is now accessible to other researchers, too.
5 Lessons from the Largest Scientific Study on Women, EverThis has created a glut of women-specific health information that has paid off in big ways. In fact, the findings from the WHI have prompted a net economic return of $37.1 billion dollars, or $140 for each dollar that was spent on the trial itself, according to a new paper published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. That's because the results have led to better treatment and care for millions of women, decreasing healthcare spending and increasing quality of life.
Here are some of the most important WHI findings:
1. You probably shouldn't take hormones for longer than you have to. Long-term use of estrogen and progestin increases the risk of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, and blood clots, though it decreased the risk of hip fractures and colon cancer in the main WHI trial. While these results have caused doctors to largely stop prescribing long-term hormone replacement, individuals are encouraged to make a personal decision based on their own risk factors. For example, if a woman has a very low family history of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, but a high risk of colon cancer and osteoporosis, she may choose to take the hormones, which are thought to be safe when prescribed for just a short time around menopause, to manage symptoms. They may also extend the life expectancy for women who have had hysterectomies, the data revealed, so be sure to talk to your doctor about your specific needs.
2. Low-fat diets are good, but not enough to reduce your risk of some cancers or cardiovascular disease. The researchers asked some of the participants to eat a low-fat diet, and then compared how this affected their risk of various diseases. They found that a low-fat diet alone was not enough to significantly impact women's risk of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer, according to the results published in JAMA. The researchers concluded that more dramatic lifestyle changes, including increased exercise, might be necessary to affect risk of developing these diseases.
3. Taking vitamin D and calcium may not be worth it. Some of the women in the study were given calcium and vitamin D supplements, while others were not. The results showed that the supplements did increase the bone density in the hip, but they didn't significantly decrease the number of hip fractures the women experienced. Nor did taking the supplements lower the risk of colorectal cancer, according to the paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine. They did, however, increase the risk of kidney stones.
4. Ditch diet soda. Post-menopausal women who reported drinking two or more diet sodas per day had a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart problems, research from the WHI showed. While the researchers couldn't show a direct connection, there are plenty of other reasons to avoid fake sugar.
5. If you're at high risk for melanoma, aspirin might help. Researchers analyzed the data from the WHI observational study, and found that women who took aspirin regularly had a 20 percent lower risk of melanoma than women who did not. The correlation was strong - the longer the women took the drug, the lower their risk. Aspirin comes with its own benefits (preventing subsequent heart problems) and harms (increased risk of bleeding), so talk to your doctor before adding it to your routine.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Often referred to as the "Queen of Garnets," rhodolite is the violet-red variety of the garnet family. Its most prized color is a beautiful raspberry, but the gem can also be found in shades of pink, red and wine. The name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "lithos," meaning rose-stone, which connects the gemstone today with the raspberry-pink flower known as the rhododendron.
Rhodolite is a combination of almandine and pyrope garnets. Although it is occasionally found in volcanic rock, the stone is most often found in alluvial deposits in the form of water-worn pebbles. For this reason, large solitaires weighing 5.00ct or more are seldom seen at retail. Most rhodolite is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It ranks a 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is ideal for jewelry.
The ancients wore rhodolites as amulets for protection from injury or death in battles. Modern folklore says rhodolite can help one understand dreams, as well as bring about love and devotion when given as a gift.

This is a family recipe I learnt from my Dad. In this recipe we do something a bit different (and lazy) with our potatoes: They are sliced instead of mashed. If you don't believe it's better then give it a try yourself and tell me your verdict.
Tag Archives: food
Spaghetti Bolognese
Since discovering the price of mince I have not had spag bol at University and settled for quorn. However I feel like I lost the point a bit by using a meat substitute by adding my favorite ingredient… BACON!
This time i forked out £3 and bought some mince. I also divided the mince into two so I could make two lots of bolognese. So this is my make shift – no instructions- spag bol from sctrach.
Tuna Pasta Bake – Simple Affordable and reheat-able!
I actually forgot to take any of my own photos for this dish, I guess I was just too excited. Tuna pasta bake is the first thing my mother taught me to make successfully and when im cooking it my university house mates get jealous of the delicious smell.But this is NOT a hard recipe, and this is NOT and expensive recipe. It isn't even overly messy or time consuming. It is PERFECT.
(use however much of each as you wish)
-Pasta: half a pack is usually enough for too servings.
-Cheddar cheese
-Tuna: half a can per person
Chloe's Carbonara
I was unimpressed by Jamie Oliver's carbonara, as I am with many other peoples versions. So here is my version. It is quick to make and so simple. In fact it really only has five ingredients.
Jamie Oliver style Salami Spaghetti Carbonara
I kicked off my cookbook with a yummy sweet recipe, so I decided to try savory this time. I like pasta, and I am very proud of my own (and incredibly simple) version of a carbonara. However, since I need to start trying new things I downloaded a Jamie Oliver app and found this recipe.

You know a movie has officially reached "classic" status when a drunk dude in the back of a police car re-enacts an entire scene. Like this inebriated fellow whose arrest inspired him to pull a total Wayne's World: Yes, he sang Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the police car (the entire thing!).
Like I said, classic! And the original Wayne's World came out in what, '92? (Yeah, 1992. I just looked it up.)
Clearly we need another installment in le series du Wayne et Garth ... hey, guess what?!
Dana Carvey made a little announcement on Conan last night ...
"I want to announce Wayne's World 3," he said. "It's a puppet show we're doing -- it's a mall tour."
Then Carvey went on to improvise a little Wayne/Garth dialogue about the perils of being middle-aged ("You need some Viagra, stat!").
But was it all just a joke? Well ... yeah, probably, since Carvey seemed to be one-upping previous guest Will Ferrell's Anchorman 2 announcement. Oh well, I guess that's cool ... NOT!
Ex-squeeze me? A baking powder? Dana Carvey, don't string us along, man! A middle-aged Wayne's World would be freaking awesome. The possibilities are endless!
I hope Dana Carvey sees this clip of the drunk dude singing Queen. Because then he'll totally be convinced of the need for a third Wayne's World. And he might even give that drunk guy a lead role! I mean, this guy is TALENTED:
Shyah. And monkeys might fly out of my butt!
Would you go to see a third Wayne's World movie?

Criminal Record in Your Past? How to Find a Job and Still Get Hired September 5, 2008Posted by dapinoyemployee in Jobhunting Pinoy Style.
Tags: job hunting with a criminal record, tips how to look for a job with a criminal record
A criminal record is often the kiss of death for your jobhunting hopes. Often, it will be very difficult for you to land a job because most employers are wary about you and your future performance. However, that doesn't automatically mean you won't be able to get a job. You still can but be warned – the road to good employment will be hard. Use these tips so you can get back on your feet again:
Consider personal contacts.
There's a high likelihood you can get rejected by companies with whom you do not have personal relationships or contacts. Why? The trust factor has not been established. Try tapping your family, friends and acquaintances for job leads instead. They will be more likely to take the chance to hire you than those who don't know you.
Look for jobs in small or medium-sized companies.
Large corporations tend to have very stringent requirements regarding applicants, so your best bet would be small businesses and independent or private employers.
Be professional.
Do not be apologetic about your past. It's done and over with and nobody, not even you, can change it. Avoid being arrogant about it either. Your employers may think that you're the type who won't own up to his mistakes. That's the kind of image you don't want people to associate with you.
Instead, show them you are sincere about starting over and that you are quite capable of doing a good job. You already regret doing whatever wrong thing you've done but it's time for you to move on.
Be able to offer a skill.
If you have a criminal record and are trying to get employed, it often pays to have extra skills. That way, you have something to fall back on. Often, you'll find that the jobs you can get are those that require strong skills.
Having extra skills also makes you a 'safer' hire for most companies. Let's say you were convicted of estafa. Do you really think you could still work again as an accountant? Of course not. Since you won't be able to use your professional skills, best learn other skills which you can use to earn a living.
Should you put your criminal record in your resume?
Absolutely not. If you have a criminal record, there's no need to plaster it on your resume for everyone to see. When you're applying for the job, simply include all your work experience, training and skills on your resume. Save the coming out later, when you're being interviewed.
Very often, you'll also find company questionnaires or application documents that ask if you have ever been convicted. Answer this truthfully. This will bring the issue out in the most convenient way for you. Don't wait for your employer to discover your arrest or incarceration or hear it from someone else. Remember that companies like to perform background checks. If you've been jailed or convicted of any criminal offense before, your employer will find out.
See the bright side but don't expect too much.
It pays to be optimistic but don't keep your expectations too high. If you have a criminal record, employers will be hesitant to hire you and that's a fact. So expect to be challenged.
However, don't give up. Instead of wallowing in your mistakes, focus on what you can do as a person – your skills, training, characteristics and all the qualifications that make you a desirable and valuable hire. Be confident about who you are and professional about your dealings.
If all else fails…
Start your own business. If you can't imagine yourself doing odd jobs or jumping from one contractual job to the next because you can't be hired as a fulltime employee, you could use a trade skill as a basis for your business. You're your own boss and don't have to go through a screening process at all.
You will need to find a way around certain licenses and permits because you might be questioned. However, once you're over that, you should be on your way. Who knows? You could even help out other jobhunters who have a problem that's similar to yours. As for your criminal record, it will still be there but no one will probably ask you about it.
What's your story?
Do you have a criminal record? Did you find it difficult to jobhunt? If you were successful in landing a job, tell us how you did here and help others learn from your tips and tactics.

I'm appalled at how long it's been. I really need to do this more often. It might be that since I've been involved with a theater production these last couple of weeks, my creative core has been tapped. This felt like it had been swirling in my brain for a few days and I couldn't get the image of Dumbledore using his pensive out of my head so that became the title.
Pleading upward ever
Pulling down a life that's
Passing never finding
Purpose filled with all the
Particular empty
Phantoms circling your
Proud and bottomless drain

Customer Reviews 1 item(s)
- Overall great
I've tried out a lot of long sleeve tshirts and I'd have to say this is definitely one of the best!
The fabric is very soft and it comes in really nice colors. My favorite feature is the shape of the cuffs- it may sound trivial but I love that they're not too tight so they don't bunch up on your wrist.
I think it would be great to have this shirt made in a lighter cotton as well. I like wearing long sleeve shirts year round but the fabric on this one is too heavy for the summer. I also wish it was cut slightly wider.
This is Jonny
He's our expert garment cutter. Purchasing this style not only provides Jonny and his co-workers with living wages and a safe workplace, it also supports small, independent businesses and organic family farms. Because when fashion is done right, we can all do well.Learn more >

I've been playing with glitters a lot, lately.
I'm not a massive fan of glitter polishes, mainly because they are such a pain to remove; but I have a few in my collection so I took them out for a spin, these past few months.
I really like the 'tips dip' look. I feel it looks even better when it's a couple of days old, uneven and a bit rough around the edges.

I took inspiration for this blue tutorial from Nouvelle Daily… Btw, I need to get my hands on Essie Aruba Blue… *gorgeous!*

Barry M in 354 Amethyst Glitter is so versatile and you can pair it with purples, pinks, blues... a really steal for a few pennies.

Purpose: :
To investigate the relationship between known risk factors for AMD progression and foveolar choroidal circulation in eyes with dry AMD.
Methods: :
We investigated the association between choroidal blood flow parameters and age, history of hypertension, hyperopia and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) hypertrophy, all known risk factors for AMD progression. Laser Doppler Flowmetry measurements (Oculix instrument) of relative choroidal blood velocity (ChBVel), volume (ChBVol) and flow (ChBFlow) were obtained in the center of the fovea of 261 study eyes of 190 AMD patients. Visual acuity of 20/40 or better, good fixation, and absence of other ocular pathology and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were the inclusion criteria for the study eye. RPE hypertrophy was determined from color fundus photographs by trained masked graders at the Scheie Image Reading Center. Correlation and multivariate linear regression analysis were carried out with adjustments for significant covariates. The correlation between paired eyes from the same subject was adjusted by using the generalized estimating equations (GEE). Choroidal circulatory parameters are shown in arbitrary units (AU).
Results: :
A significant inverse correlation was observed between age and ChBFlow (r=-0.35, p=0.0002), or ChBVol (r=-0.28, p=0.003) but not for blood velocity (r=-0.07, p=0.34). A significant inverse correlation was observed between spherical equivalent and ChBFlow (r=-0.22, p= 0.006), or ChBVol (r=-0.14, p=0.05) but not for blood velocity (r=-0.09, p=0.15).
Conclusions: :
All the described risk factors are associated with decreased choroidal circulatory parameters, suggesting that decreased choroidal blood flow may be involved in the development of CNV in AMD.

Reform and Early Childhood Education: Making Teacher Preparation Professional and Relevant.
Reform and Early Childhood Education: Making Teacher Preparation Professional and Relevant. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This paper recommends new directions for teacher education in the preparation of early childhood (EC) teachers. It reviews the historic fragmentation of the field, present teacher education practice, and the changes needed to address the needs of children from birth to 8 years who increasingly live in poverty, come from minority populations, face violence in their lives, and lack support from both parents. It then recommends that early childhood teacher education programs adopt reforms that: (1) encourage parent involvement in their children's education; (2) prepare EC teachers to work with impoverished children; (3) recognize the unique needs of teen parents; (4) teach EC educators to work with health and social service providers; (5) link good health with school achievement; (6) train EC teachers to be decision-makers and leaders; (7) include violence prevention training; (8) encourage the recruitment of teachers from African-American and Latino groups; (9) prepare EC students to work with children before and after school; (10) offer courses and practicum experiences with children from birth to age 8; (11) integrate EC education and special education; (12) make teachers at ease in a variety of EC settings; (13) address multicultural concerns; and (14) ground programs in developmentally appropriate practice for children in a variety of settings. Includes 31 references. (MDM)

After a spell of thousands of years one more divine Granth has emerged. A source of Nishkam or Nischalta. divyattam, ojaswittam Brahmn's "Brahmn-Vani" Sneha, the Karuna, the Daya, Guru's Karunik Kripa…The Guru is everything. I came every time in the form of some Granths. give My any name, Me is none other than Me only. one more time. Amongst all of you, once again I have come after a long interval in the form of the "BRAHMN-VAANI".
Blessed with miracle, divine holy treatise 'Brahmvani' emanating from 'the inner self' - an abode of siddhis. "This is the bliss and virtue of good deeds of life that I am having his (Nikhileshwaranandji's) closeness, discourse, affection and blessings every moment even today. It was only through me that his holy graces poured down on one of my greatest shishyas viz. NamrataPandey and he christened her as NamrataKamalini. The conventional process of Guru-dom was established once again. She was not only sanctified by shaktipaat, divyapaat and urdhvapaat (occult processes of awakening the inner consciousness in a shishya's mind) but also brahmapaat. Consequently, after thousands of years, a face- to- face contact with the soul (or 'the inner self') became possible and Brahmvani happened to be created.
Brahmvani is his (Shri Nikhileshwaranandji's) fragrance. Brahmvani is his aroma. Brahmvani is his celestial consciousness. Brahmvani is an eye-opener to straggling, vainglorious and crooked shishyas....Wake up! There is still time. You are divided. You are getting divided. You will be smashed to pieces. Be cautious while there is still time. Come and join with the Integrated Entity and become integrated. Fill yourself level with love and become a means of spreading His fragrance all over the world. Agreed? Then, do not delay. Get up now and make a move towards Him.
Brahmvani will help you reach there. This is a bridge. Climb it and join Kamleshwaranandji and drown yourself in the celestial, eternal currents of God i.e. 'Nikhil ParmatmDhara'. Kamleshwaranandji is none else but this is one of the thousands names of His Holiness ShriNikhileshwaranandji. Raze out all your discriminations because your Guru is the complete Brahm (soul or God). He is settled in every soul. He is beyond everybody - the great Nikhileshwaranand. He is also Kamleshwaranand. When will your discriminations be razed out? When they end, you will also attain the absolute pleasure, you cannot achieve the celestial bliss, spiritual splendour and internal peace of mind by conspiring. On this grand day of his death anniversary, I pray to Him to consummate his shishyas by filling their hearts with devotion. I, too, bless you all by heart that the birth of my every shishya may be completely purposeful and successful. You dissolve yourself with the Absolute Pleasue i.e. Me in the this very life by accomplishing all great feats".
I am dedicating myself along with all shishyas with devotion and faith in the form of a divine, sacred, fragrant, aromatic flower, completely filled with love on this celestial holy day. If you, too, wish so; come on all of you. I wait for all of you".
This book does not at all contain intelligence. This entire book has been written with both eyes shut and with utmost devotion, entering into 'the inner self'. Get it today - a book which is the fruit of divine blessings of the Absolute Consciousness i.e. Nikhil whom you may also call Kamal, who has been the eternal source of inspiration to the author.

text: Hey Everyone don't really have time to search the forums for an answer cause I think I am going to loose 3 of my new chicks very soon. But even if I loose these 2 I want to make sure this is not something to affect the others I have. The chicks are 2 days old Cornish Cross. They were hatched yesterday. They are exhibiting the following behavior: laying on their sides, seeming to be gasping slowly, Wings stretched out and very stiff in their bodies. They also seem very cold. No signs of trauma, other than it was really hot yesterday, in the 90s, and they were panting a bit in the car on the way home. I got them home, put them in the brooder, dipped beaks in water and gave them some chick starter. The others are drinking and eating so I assume that these 2 did as well. They were not handled rough at all. No noticeable issues with their stool and no treatment has been given yet. I will be treating them myself as I can't see taking day olds to the vet. I have plenty of experiance treating everything but chickens though. They are in a old wire-floor brooder. 4 weeks ago I raised 15 with no losses. Please Help and Thanks. Ali

New GB EV unveiled by Alcraft
British electric vehicle start-up Alcraft Motor Company has revealed details of its first car, the high-performance Alcraft GT, which it hopes to start producing in 2019, with crowdfunding support.
Founder businessman David Alcraft has assembled a core team including Charles Morgan, previously of Morgan Motor Company, ex-Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders CEO Christopher Macgowan, designer Matt Humphries who also spent time at Morgan, and ex-Toyota, Daewoo and Michelin senior executive Mark Carbery.
The engineering partner is Silverstone-based Delta Motorsport, whose expertise in electric drivetrains and battery systems sees it working both with global car manufacturers and at the highest levels of motor sport. Other partners include specialist British companies Sevcon and KS Composites, and agreements are in place with major Tier 1 suppliers including Continental for safety systems and Michelin for tyres.
David said, 'We want to build a British car company which brings together traditional skills and high technology for the emerging low carbon car market. We're about combining great design, outstanding dynamics and the visceral thrill of electric powertrains to create products that are high in performance and desirability but very usable. We hope this will establish a niche For Alcraft Motor in Britain's renowned specialist low-volume car industry.'
The Alcraft GT is sporty yet practical, with a shooting brake-style rear giving access to a 500-litre luggage area, and a 300-mile range. The fundamental concept is battery-only, but has been designed and engineered so that a range-extender could be added. It has also been designed so that it can be made as a 2+2 rather than a two-seater.
A 33% foam model, which was made for design verification purposes, can be seen at the Alcraft Motor Company booth at Cenex Low Carbon Vehicle on 6 and 7 September.
Meanwhile, with the design of the Alcraft GT complete and virtual engineering undertaken for core systems and regulatory requirements, the next step is to build a full running prototype. The business is launching a rewards-based crowdfunding campaign to support this, with the balance coming from equity funding. The rewards-based crowdfunding bands start at £10 and go up to £25,000.

Mickey Charles Mantle was born October 20, 1931, in Spavinaw, Oklahoma. His father, Elvin "Mutt" Mantle, worked in the Oklahoma zinc mines, and before his son could even walk, he was steering Mickey towards baseball (he named him after his favorite player, Philadelphia Athletics and then Detroit Tigers catcher Mickey Cochrane). When Mickey was four, Mutt went where there was work, and the family moved near Commerce, Oklahoma. Mantle's childhood was one marked by poverty, and as soon as he was old enough to help, he sought various odd jobs, as well as worked with his father in the mines to help make ends meet.
Mutt taught him to become a switch-hitter, knowing this would make Mickey even more of a threat at the plate. Mantle turned out to be a gifted athlete. He also played football in high school, but during a sophomore practice, he suffered the first of many physical afflictions.
After being kicked in the shin, he developed osteomyelitis—a chronic bone disease—a malady that would plague him for the rest of his life. At the time, his doctors felt it best to amputate the leg, but his father said no, and eventually, after many operations, the condition was arrested.

Hancock County leaders are taking a different tack to secure work force training and other postsecondary education opportunities closer to home.
A delegation representing Hancock County met last week with Gov. Steve Beshear to seek his support for state funding to cover start-up costs for an Owensboro Community & Technical College satellite campus.
The satellite community college campus is regional in its scope, said Mike Baker, executive director of the Hancock County Industrial Foundation.
"The project involves a real cross section of the community, and we were all there to meet the governor with a common vision," Baker said of the meeting with the governor. "That's one of the aspects that really resounded with him."
Attending the Frankfort meeting, in addition to Baker, were Jack McCaslin, Hancock County Judge-Executive; Scott Lewis, superintendent of Hancock County Public Schools; Dave Whitmore, Century Aluminum manufacturing manager; Nick Brake, president of the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corp.; and Larry Durrence, interim president of OCTC.
"Some of the governor's staff asked Mike (Baker) for more information, and he is getting that," McCaslin said. "I think once they get some numbers, we'll see some things start happening. ... He (Baker) got the ball rolling."
The on-site training is critical to preserving high-wage, aluminum and energy industry jobs and attracting more industries to Hancock County, officials said.
The satellite location also will help high school students get a leg up on postsecondary training and education.
"What we have learned is that Hancock County's existing work force is getting older, and a large percentage, perhaps more than 40 percent, could retire in the next three years," said Durrence. "If they lose that much of their work force, it will be critically important to have trained employees to replace it."
A lack of ready and trained workers could cause industries considering Hancock County to look elsewhere, Durrence said.
"This is a great opportunity to accelerate the training opportunities in the community," Baker said. "These industries work 24/7, and having training available closer to home can have real value."
OCTC has no money to lease a building, and it takes years to get a building approved in the state capital budget process, Durrence said. Plus, the state does not have money for new projects.
The consortium has located a building in the Lewisport Shopping Center on U.S. 60 that could be remodeled, Baker said.
That led to the meeting with the governor.
The satellite campus would allow Hancock County to bring classes for high school students and local industries under one roof, Baker said.
"When you have a project and you are looking for several million dollars to build buildings, there is a right and wrong time to do that," Baker said. "We decided to take a different approach to accomplish the same objectives."
Hancock County Fiscal Court and the business community would share in the expenses. The group is seeking state funds for the facility's lease, utilities and other costs.
"Fiscal Court is very excited about this project," McCaslin said. "We've been trying to get state funds for a technical school on our high school campus for years, and every time we rise to the top of the funding pile, the bottom falls out of the economy."
The OCTC campus would help to supply existing industries with a skilled work force, the judge said.
"The big thing is that we have about 3,000 jobs for, not only our county residents, but also the surrounding counties," McCaslin said. "Sometimes we tend to forget our existing industries, and we don't want to do that."
The county government, school system, community college and industries "will all throw some money into this," he said.
"Even though we (OCTC) have no money for a facility, we are committed to providing the instructional aspects of the satellite campus," Durrence said. "We want to be a good partner with them."
OCTC will provide some equipment and instructors, he said.
"I really hope we can keep this moving forward," Durrence said.
More college credits in high school
Lewis is excited about the potential for Hancock County High School students if a satellite community college campus is established.
"This is my fourth year as superintendent, and getting a vocational school has been a priority for me because of the industry we have here," Lewis said. "We want to make sure we graduate our high school students and they have the opportunity to stay here -- and that we continue to have those high-paying jobs for them."
The OCTC satellite campus would allow local industries to train their employees close to their jobs and not have them gone all day, Lewis said.
The high school now has three vocational courses -- information technology, nursing and mechatronics.
"We added mechatronics last year in our maintenance garage because we don't have room," Lewis said.
The project also will help the school district fulfill its vision for high school students to be able to take up to 60 college hours and have about two years of college credits "paid for" by the time they graduate, the superintendent said.
"We're getting very close to having that plan worked out," Lewis said. "Students can do that now, but they pay for it. This would cost the school district, but it would be free to students."
The goal is for high school students to have the opportunity "to graduate with a vocational certificate and be employable or to have enough college credits to be close to an associate's degree," he said.
Currently, students who are dually enrolled are "ones who would go on to college anyway," he said.
Local educators want to see more of their students who may not have thought about college to learn that they can succeed.
"A lot of our kids -- they may be the first in their families to go to college," he said.
The high school already has begun to align its curriculum with OCTC's, Lewis said.
"At the same time, that increases our rigor," he said. "We've done a good job of doing that in elementary and middle school, but our high school had stayed the same until now."

Back in 2014, Eminem performed at The Concert for Valor to honor US soldiers on the Veterans' Day. He used strong language in his performance and wished "Happy motherf**king veterans day" to the soldiers.
Of course critics were not happy about Eminem using explicit lyrics to honor the soldiers but one lieutenant stood up in support of Eminem and said "In the army 98% of soldiers listen to Eminem and we are grateful for him." Looks like they really love Eminem. Watch the video of US marine rapping Eminem's "Lose Yourself" below:

Monitor aging equipment without replacement
Finding effective ways to increase the energy efficiency and overall performance of electrical equipment begins with historical knowledge of how power is being used. However, many older pieces of large equipment, including motor-control centers, switchgear, and panelboards, were not engineered when proactive energy management was a primary concern.
As a result, it can be a time-consuming and difficult process to quantify and analyze the energy data of these devices. Despite advancements in intelligent metering devices, personnel are still often required to tap into information on a device-by-device basis.
This means information cannot be analyzed until it is logged into a spreadsheet, and entire systems cannot be proactively evaluated without developing a method to transition spreadsheet data for each device into a comprehensive view. These important processes can be simplified by using devices called gateways.
Power management gateways
Fundamentally, gateways provide a way to collect electrical parameters and aggregate data from electrical equipment like meters, relays, and circuit breaker trip units into a system that can be monitored and managed. By collecting data from serial communicating monitoring devices and other electronic motor control and power distribution components, these devices can bring diverse power components into a system that can be tracked, analyzed, and used to make intelligent decisions.
The electrical data that gateways typically collect includes volts, amps, watts, kilowatt-hours, power-factor, and other parameters to give the user a blueprint of what is happening in the equipment. Also, gateways can provide alarms and event status on communications, over and under voltage or current, and other available alarms from serial devices.
Unlike predecessors that have been around for more than a decade, today's gateway devices enable users to access all information remotely via a dedicated Webpage. And, contrasting similar monitoring solutions with Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, the online management portals included with modern gateway devices allow users to easily generate and export activity logs based on alarm history or historical device data in table, graph, or chart format.
These management portals also allow users to easily create, view, and update a one-line electrical representation of the electrical system with animations and color-coding that indicates device status to enable a simple, comprehensive view of electrical components.
Modern gateways also use open protocols, enabling communications with devices that communicate via an open protocol like Modbus, regardless of the manufacturer—allowing for seamless integration into energy management, building management, and facility monitoring systems.
But how do these new features translate into the actionable intelligence needed to drive continuous improvement?
Five key benefits
1. Safety: Monitoring systems can limit the exposure of personnel to potentially hazardous electrical environments by providing remote status and operational parameters.
2. Reliability: Assessment of data from the monitoring system can reveal issues that could adversely affect the operation and productivity of a facility. Historical data from power monitoring systems can help locate and correct both acute and chronic problems, resulting in increased productivity. Alarm notifications also can be proactively set to warn of underperforming equipment and conditions threatening uptime.
3. Energy efficiency: A better knowledge of how energy is used within a facility allows for identification of an array of prospects to improve efficiency, minimize waste, and reduce energy consumption. The ability to benchmark performance and export in-depth reports allows for verification of energy management program success.
4. Simplified maintenance: Trended data and reporting capabilities allow users to better forecast when defined equipment parameters may be exceeded, allowing facility management to plan ahead instead of facing an unscheduled shutdown of equipment.
5. Operational costs: Each benefit discussed above either directly or indirectly influences a business' bottom line. In most cases, the monetary impact from even one or two benefits can quickly justify the purchase and installation of a power monitoring system. Monitoring systems also can be scaled from one single piece of equipment to an entire facility—allowing for incremental expansion with budget and facility growth.

Key concepts
- Older equipment was not designed to operate in an energy-conscience approach.
- Modern gateways allow users to easily manage the electrical system via online portals.
- The benefits of the system usually justify the investment.

Wessex Winners
We've got some great news to share. At the recent Wessex Beer Festival held at the Bath & West Showground we won two gold medals – for Merlin's Magic and Old Freddy Walker. There were around 130 beers at the festival. Winning one medal would have been great but winning two golds was fantastic. The organisers are coming to the brewery to present the awards later this week. This year five of our regular beers have won awards at festivals across the country. We couldn't be more pleased, especially considering the new plant just went in this year.

It's hard to believe, in this day and age of new perfumes launching every five minutes, that there was a period when designers took a lot more time to create their soon-to-be fragrance masterpieces. At the forefront of that couture approach to perfumes was none other than Christian Dior. The man had a passion for all things fragrance, as outlined in the new book Dior: The Perfumes.
This stunning, 300-page tome features a rare peek inside the archives of the Dior house to uncover the fascinating stories behind how such classics as Poison, J'Adore, and Diorissimo came to be. Combined with the original photography by Terri Weifenbach, this is the very definition of eye candy. Written by renowned fragrance critic Chandler Burr (with illustrated text by Vincent Lauré), the history of both Dior the man and Dior the brand is a must-read for any fragrance or fashion lover.
We scored an interview with Burr himself and Dior brand culture and heritage expert, Frederic Bourdelier, to discuss the book and some of the surprising things they learned about these classic scents. Meanwhile, we'll be adding this to our holiday wishlist. (Hear that, loved ones?) We've been really, really good this year, swear.

Demonstrating commitment
We can tell you our forests are managed sustainably and our wood products are made from sustainable sources, but it's important for us to back up our claim. Our commitment to sustainable forest management is demonstrated through forest certification, fiber-sourcing certification and chain-of-custody certification.
Today, only 11 percent of the world's forests are certified, with the vast majority in the Northern Hemisphere. Internationally recognized certification standards provide customers and stakeholders with an objective, third-party determination of whether or not companies are implementing sustainable business practices and making products that come from legal and well-managed sources. We support the use of these standards and the use of independent, third-party audits to verify compliance.
We are the first to admit that forest certification can get complicated, quickly. In the United States and Canada, where we operate, there are multiple forest certification programs in use.
The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® [SFI] program is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management. It oversees the standards for the largest forests certification program in North America, with more than 285 million acres certified. We are a strong supporter of SFI and believe it is a consistent, science-based standard that allows us to offer a reliable supply of quality, responsibly sourced products at competitive prices. One hundred percent of our timberlands are certified to the SFI® 2015-2019 Forest Management Standard and our entire wood supply chain is certified to the SFI® 2015-2019 Fiber Sourcing Standard. We verify our commitment to these standards through third-party audits.
The American Tree Farm System is the oldest and largest certification system for small, private landowners in the United States. Family forest landowners own nearly one-third of U.S. forestlands and are a critical link in the wood fiber supply chain. We are committed to supporting these landowners and encouraging more landowners to join the program.
The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification is a global umbrella organization that evaluates and recognizes forest certification systems demonstrating compliance with PEFC principles. With more than 741 million acres of certified forests, PEFC endorses nearly 38 sustainable forest management standards worldwide.
Forest Stewardship Council International™ sets national and regional standards for multiple independent certifiers throughout the world. FSCTM International has approximately 470 million certified acres worldwide, with 35 million acres in the United States. FSC International recognizes other FSC standards but is not recognized by PEFC.
We believe having multiple certification systems is advantageous because:
- It encourages greater use of responsible forest management worldwide, across all types of forest ownerships.
- Different programs accommodate different situations, resources and needs of different forest managers (e.g., government, industrial, family).
- Manufacturers and their customers have greater flexibility in meeting consumer demands.
- Competition encourages all programs to continually improve over time.
America's first certified tree farm
In 1941, 120,000 acres of timberlands owned by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in southwest Washington was established as the nation's first certified tree farm under the American Tree Farm System.
The Clemons Tree Farm launched a nationwide program to help private landowners practice forest management on a sustainable basis.
