Founding Forefather
"It was the most earnest desire of our family that we translate the dream of our beloved father Late Chhogmal Chaudhary into reality. Our father, himself was a religious person blended with a modern approach- a great visionary to establish educational institutions in his native village at Bahal.
My grandfather Late Ballaramji Chaudhary was also a renowned social reformer of his time and carried a philanthropic vision for the upliftment of all sections of the society irrespective of caste, creed and economical standing in Bahal. His appetite for acquiring useful knowledge and virtue instituted him as a role model which always inspires us to work for the social cause.
Ballaram Hanumandas Charitable Trust, the promoter of BRCM educational Institutions in Bahal was established at Kolkata in the year 1977 with the primary objective of social upliftment and educational development in Bahal and the surrounding 150 odd villages.
Ballaram Hanumandas Charitable Trust since its inception has established and is running successfully illustrious educational institutions which is managed under the aegis of BRCM Educational Society, namely"

In the vast ocean of lip balms, a few standouts have won our hearts again and again. They are the best of the best—the ones worthy of a place in the lip balm hall of fame. Here are the six must-haves you can count on for the over-the-top hydration, lovely texture, sweet shine, and maximum kissability.
Kiehls Lip Balm #1 ($7, kiehls.com). This formula has a bit of a cult following, thanks to its quick-absorbing, fast-acting blend of squalene, lanolin, and wheat germ oil. It also stays put better than other balms so you don't have to reapply and reapply and reapply. And then reapply again.
Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve ($6, sephora.com). A makeup-artist secret for years, this stuff has loyal fans unwilling to part with its lip-softening effects and signature rose fragrance. Bonus: It's also great for cuticle and elbows.
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine/Breath Freshener ($7.50, bigelowchemists.com). Think of this gel as a hybrid: It has the shine of a lip gloss with the soothing properties of a balm. And the peppermint oil has a lovely cooling effect that's especially nice after an intense makeout session.
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm ($3.29, ulta.com). The brand's signature product is still wildly popular for good reason. It has the same ultra-emollient lanolin and almond oil that's been healing dry lips for years—all in a delightfully soft beeswax base.
Badger Lip Balm ($2,99, walgreens.com). May not look like a life-changer, but it is. It's inexpensive, easy to find at a drugstore anywhere, and all the ingredients are recognizable—including the sun-blocker zinc oxide.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15 ($21, ulta.com). Based on the company's famous cream (created by Ms. Arden herself), this stick has the texture of a dream sitting on a cloud made of marshmallows and love. It turns rubbing your lips together into a heavenly experience.
Fresh Sugar Balm ($22.50, sephora.com). Look in any beauty editor's bag and you're likely to find a tube of this luscious lip stuff. It makes your lips feel like smooth without getting them all sticky. And it also comes in several tinted options so you can even get a hit of color with your hydration if you choose.

Time has gone by so quickly this summer and it is hard to believe we will be leaving South Dakota in a couple weeks.
Bob and I have really enjoyed our jobs, and we have decided to come back again next year. It is hard to describe how much we love this area of the Black Hills.
There is so much here that we want to explore yet. We are in area that we can drive to so many places within a short time. One of the towns we visited is Deadwood. In Deadwood is Mt. Moriah Cemetery where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are buried. Wild Bill has quite a decorative monument for a headstone, but Calamity Jane doesn't.
We've also enjoyed watching the baby mountain goats growing up this year. Here are the babies in June.
This is one of the babies in August
I've also attached another album of our photos from the summer.
All and all we've had a wonderful summer. We will be leaving South Dakota Sept. 28th and heading towards new adventures for the winter. Hope everyone is well and we will post again.
Bob, Sharon & Toby

Judge reserves decision in emergency hearing to halt N.S. child refugee deportation
A Federal Court judge has reserved his decision after hearing an emergency request to temporarily stop the deportation of former Somali child refugee Abdoul Abdi.
Abdi, who never got Canadian citizenship while growing up in foster care in Nova Scotia, was detained by the Canada Border Services Agency after serving five years in prison for multiple offences, including aggravated assault.
READ: Emergency request to halt Abdoul Abdi deportation to be heard in Federal Court in Halifax
Abdi's lawyer, Benjamin Perryman, says federal officials turned down the 24-year-old's request to press pause on a deportation hearing while he pursues a constitutional challenge.
Abdi then asked the Federal Court to temporarily halt the deportation hearing – scheduled for March 7 – and Perryman made arguments on his behalf in Halifax today.
Perryman argued proceeding with a deportation hearing while Abdi's constitutional challenge is ongoing will cause irreparable harm.
WATCH: 'It's really unfair': Abdoul Abdi's sister speaks out ahead of emergency hearing to stop deportation
He says the Immigration Division hearing will inevitably lead to a deportation order given the circumstances of Abdi's case, and he would no longer be able to work – one of the conditions of his release.
Heidi Collicutt, a lawyer for the federal government, told Justice Keith Boswell that Abdi's request presupposes an unfavourable outcome at the immigration admissibility hearing, and it would not be appropriate to stop an independent body from carrying out its statutory mandate.
Boswell reserved his decision, but said he would rule before the hearing next month.

Considering Peyton Manning's brilliant start to the 2013 campaign, there has been talk that when the year is over, he may have posted the greatest quarterback season ever.
While there's no denying Manning's stellar play through 10 weeks in 2013, the season may not even be the best of his career, let alone NFL history.
Numbers strongly suggest 2004 was Manning's best season, and unlike his current season, Manning's 2004 may very well be the best quarterback season of all time.
None of this is to disparage the Broncos quarterback's current season, as he has been measurably better than his peers. Among quarterbacks with at least 200 attempts this season, Manning leads the league in net yards per attempt, adjusted net yards per attempt, touchdown pass rate, traditional quarterback rating, ESPN's QBR, defense-adjusted yards above replacement and value over average (via Football Outsiders), Win Probability Added, Expected Points Added, and Success Rate (via Advanced NFL Stats).
Manning is the MVP in the 2013 and anyone who says otherwise isn't being fair; now time to look at some history.
Before going forward, this discussion must be contextualized in terms of both volume and era. Two quarterbacks may both throw for 4,500 yards in a season; all other things being equal, reaching this total with 400 attempts is more impressive than hitting it on 600 attempts.
Also, presume two quarterbacks throw for 7.0 yards per attempt; the one who reached this average in 1972 deserves much more credit than the one who did this in 2012.
Volume vs. Efficiency
On volume first, it is unfortunate discussions like this one are so often framed by basic, counting stats: who threw for more yards and touchdowns.
Consider Brett Favre, who threw for more yardage, touchdowns and interceptions than anyone else. Is Favre the best quarterback ever? Probably not, and he is certainly not the worst ever.
When we see Favre has also attempted more passes than anyone else, his touchdown, yardage, and interception totals make more sense.
A look at Vinny Testaverde's career illustrates this point as well. Testaverde is ninth all-time in career touchdown passes, ahead of Joe Montana and behind Johnny Unitas. Testaverde is also eighth in career passing yardage.
No one can seriously suggest Testaverde is of the same caliber as Montana or Unitas, or that he is one of the 10 best quarterbacks ever. Counting stats like touchdowns and passing yards suggest he is.
The real explanation, of course, is that Testaverde played for 21 seasons and is seventh in career passing attempts.
With these examples in mind, it makes much more sense to use rate/efficiency stats, that put production in the context of total attempts. This is true when looking at both quarterbacks' careers and single seasons.
In 2011, Drew Brees set the record for most passing yards in a single season with 5,476. That same season, Matt Stafford threw for the sixth-most yards in a season with 5,038.
Stafford and Brees were also first and second, respectively that season in pass attempts, and when we look at their yards per attempt totals, we see their passing yardage owes more to volume of attempts than efficiency.
Brees finished sixth in Y/A* in 2011 (100th in NFL history) and Stafford was 13th (outside history's top 232 Y/A seasons).
(*In analysis I prefer to use net yards per attempt than simple yards per attempt, as NY/A factors in yardage lost to sacks; NY/A is more predictive and quarterbacks do have at least some control over their sack rate. However, for this discussion, I felt using standard Y/A would allow for an apples-to-apples comparison, as Brees and Stafford's yardage totals do not include sacks. Using an efficiency stat that does include sacks would shift the scales).
So thus whenever talking about a quarterback's season, it makes much more sense to talk in terms of efficiency stats than volume. This way, the comparison is not skewed by one player's team playing from behind frequently–leading to more attempts–or one player being led by pass-happy coach (as was the case with Brees and Stafford in 2011).
Historical Context
Johnny Unitas finished his career with an interception rate of 4.9%. Mark Sanchez has posted an INT rate of 3.7% during his career. Fair for Jets fans to gripe about why Sanchez is ridiculed as an erratic passer while Unitas is hailed as an all-time great? These labels should clearly be reversed, right?
No, of course not. But why? "You believe in numbers right, Sal? So why kill Sanchez for interceptions and not kill Unitas?" (And no, it's not just because Unitas is practically the patron saint of the Cacciatore family, Colts fans since the 1950s).
The real answer is really simple: The game was different during the 1950s and 60s than it is today. Unitas played before the 1978 rules changes, which liberalized the passing game, while Sanchez enjoyed these rules which make things harder on the defense.
There is a way to compare the two though. Rather than throw our collective arms up in the air and say "different eras, can't compare Unitas and Sanchez," we can still pit the two against each other. Rather than comparing their stats to each other right away, we need to compare their stats to the league averages when they played, and then we can compare the results.
Obviously, I'm using an extreme example to make a point–Mark Sanchez isn't in the same area code, country, or galaxy as Unitas in any facet of the game.
Still, if we wanted to make such a comparison, we'd use Pro-Football-Reference's index stats as a tool. These index stats compare a player's stats to the league averages for his career (or a single season) and put them on a scale where 100 is average. Numbers higher than 100 are naturally better, and anything below 100 is below average.
Unitas posted a interception rate index (INT%+) of 108, while Sanchez's career interception rate index is 87. Unitas was therefore 21 units better than Sanchez in terms of interceptions, despite posting a higher raw interception rate.
This makes sense when we see that the league average-interception rate was 7.3% in 1956 (Unitas' rookie season), 5.7% in 1967 (one of his three MVP seasons), and 5.3% in 1973, Unitas' final season.
In Sanchez's first season (2008), the NFL-average INT% was 2.8, and has since fluctuated slightly, with a high of 3.1% in 2009 and a low of 2.6% in 2012.
Glory to Unitas; Sanchez, you're still horrible.
Historical context matters, and this is true of individual seasons as well: in 1937, future Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh led the league in his rookie season by averaging 6.6 yards per pass; today, a 6.6 average would not come close to leading the league, as it would be below the league average of 7.2 Y/A (Baugh's Y/A index in 1937 was 141 and the league-average Y/A was 5.6).
Back to the Original Topic…
All of this is a long-winded way of saying context matters. If we want to compare Manning's 2013 season to his 2004 season or Tom Brady's 2007 season or Norm Van Brocklin's 1954 season, we need to consider volume and era.
So here's my case for why Manning's 2004 remains the best ever:
First, Manning's adjusted net efficiency index (ANY/A+) in 2004 was 153, the best ever (minimum 200 attempts).
We should put a lot of stock into this, as ANY/A might be the most useful "traditional" passing stat available. ANY/A modifies basic NY/A (pass yards – sack yardage/attempts + sacks) by deducting 45 yards per interception and adding 20 yards per touchdown (for the skeptic, here's more on how we arrive at these numbers; for even more on these adjustments, read the Hidden Game of Football).
As Chase Stuart of Football Perspective explains, ANY/A works well because it is both predictive and explanatory. While traditional quarterback rating also has use as an explanatory stat, it weighs interceptions and completions too heavily; this reduces quarterback rating's predictive power, making ANY/A more useful.
Still, if you like traditional quarterback rating, Manning's 2004 tops that metric too. Manning's 121.1 quarterback rating that season translate to a 151 passer rating index, the best ever.
Manning's touchdown percentage index in 2004 was 168, and as you may have guessed, that is the best of all time as well. Aaron Rodgers in 2011 and Brady in 2007 are tied for second (153) while Manning's 2013 season is fourth (150) (Dan Marino in 1984 and Ken Stabler in 1976 are tied for fifth).
Brady of course holds the record for most touchdowns in a season, with 50 (one more than Manning's 49 in 2004). Manning comes out on top because his un-adjusted TD% in 2004 (9.9%) was higher than Brady's 8.7% in 2007 (Brady threw 578 times in 2007, while Manning had 497 attempts in 2004).
Even more advanced metrics show how good Manning's 2004 season was. In terms of defense-adjusted value over average, Manning's '04 was the best season among quarterbacks with more than 200 attempts since at least 1989 (which is as far back as Football Outsiders' DVOA stats go).
Manning's DVOA in 2004 was 58.9%. Brady's DVOA in 2007 was 54.1% and Manning's DVOA in 2013 is currently is 50.6%.
According to Advanced NFL Stats, Manning's Win Probability Added in 2004 was 7.05, the best since 1999, which as far back as the ANS stats go. This means that Manning alone was worth a staggering seven wins to the 12-4 Colts
To recap, the areas where Manning's 2004 was the best ever include ANY/A+, QB Rating+, TD%+, DVOA, and WPA.
In the metrics where this season is not the best, it still comes out looking very good.
Looking just at NY/A (without TD or INT adjustments), Manning's 2004 is third behind Kurt Warner's 2000 and Dan Marino's 1984.
Still, Manning's best season comes out ahead of Marino's in terms of ANY/A+, QB rating+, INT%+, TD%+, and Y/A+ (Marino edges Manning in terms of sack rate index, where his 136 sack%+ in 1984 was the best ever).
Warner's 2000 season is weighed down by his 18 interceptions (5.2% of his attempts), which equated to an interception rate index of 70; in other words 30 units below average.
In terms of FO's advanced metrics, Brady in 2007 edges out Manning in 2004 in terms of defense-adjusted yards above replacement. But, DYAR is a total value stat, so the fact that Brady threw almost 100 more times than Manning weighs heavily here.
Aaron Rodgers posted 0.4 expected points added per play in 2011, compared to Brady's 0.39 play in 2007, and Manning's 0.38 in 2004 (via ANS).
On the whole, there is an overwhelming statistical case that Manning's 2004 season was better than his still-stellar 2013; in addition, there is substantial evidence this 2004 campaign was the best single-season campaign a quarterback has ever had.

After a thrilling last-round showdown at Rockingham Motor Speedway, it was American muscle that prevailed in the 2007 Avon Tyres British GT Championship, in the hulking shape of the Team RPM Dodge Viper.
Young driver pairing, Bradley Ellis and Alex Mortimer, piloted the 8.3-litre, V10 Viper to overall title victory in their first season in the UK's premier sportscar championship.
Meanwhile, in the Lloyds TSB Insurance British F3 International Series, which runs alongside the Avon Tyres championship and also uses Avon's control tyres, Estonian Marko Asmer swept all before him, wrapping up the prestigious title at the penultimate round, at Croft.
Going into the final race weekend of the GT championship, nine drivers in five cars had a chance to take the crown, including the Aston Martin DBRS9 of Lord Paul Drayson and Jonny Cocker, which earlier in the season became the first biofuel-powered car to win a major UK race.
Avon Tyres has been the title sponsor and sole supplier of the British GT Championship since 2006.
"Becoming the supplier and sponsor of the British GT Championship has provided us with a unique, and impressive challenge," said Cooper Tire Europe managing director, Julian Baldwin.
"The sheer number of different cars competing in GT racing, all using their tyres differently, has given us one of the most exciting, and demanding, jobs in motorsport.
"But, as ever, the Avon Motorsport team stepped up to the plate admirably to work with every team and driver on the grid, and supply tyres that not only deliver the performance the championship deserves, but the equality that produced the grandstand finish we have just witnessed."
The 2008 Avon Tyres British GT Championship will feature a new GT4 class, which opens the way for cars such as the Porsche Cayman, Audi TT, Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z and Mazda RX8 to join the series. It will start next spring.

Eh, reviews and stuff. Probably.
This one is always a little slower going for me as it's *whispers* the one I like the least *whispers*. I'm not sure why, but this one has always fallen a little flat for me, but on the upside, my favorite is coming up next, yippee!!

Well, yet again I wanted another stamp on the Fantasiapelit board game coupon.
This time it meant I bought both expansions for Small World that were released just this month: the Royal Bonus and Leaders of Small World. And, well... also one expansion for the Small World Underground. Though I don't have Small World Underground myself.
Here is a catch. All the races and special powers in the Spider's Web expansion are playable in the original Small World board, too. At least I didn't find any game term from the expansion rules that were exclusive to Underworld only. So... why not? I got another stamp.
A stamp.

The patient was asked what the metalic images could be. It was understood that his tooth filling droped and couldn't find it, so he may have swallowed it. Also he said that a few days ago he hunted rabbits with small shots and ate them.
The cause of the intestinal obstruction was inguinal herniation [Figure 3]. After the sedation the herniation was reduced and the symptoms reduced. He was operated electively by the general surgeon and urologist for the right testicle which was in the inguinal canal. The testical was nonfunctional so orchiectomy was performed.

Hunting illegally in Saskatchewan has resulted in huge fines for two Manitoba men.
Back in December of 2015, conservation officers learned about three moose shot on posted land near Canora.
An investigation resulted in the arrest of 55-year-old Charlie Boucher and 40-year-old Georgie Lamirande of the Pine Creek First Nation.
In Yorkton Provincial Court, the two men pleaded guilty to unlawfully hunting on posted land, unlawful possession of wildlife, and illegally transporting wildlife to another province.
They were each fined 75-hundred dollars.

Real Sociedad aim to write Inigo Martinez out of history with shirt exchange
Real Sociedad have moved on following the departure of their leading player and captain, Inigo Martinez, to bitter Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao this week and are asking their fans to do the same.
Athletic paid Martinez's €32 million release clause, a club record, and half of what they received from Aymeric Laporte's departure to Manchester City this week as well as offering the player double the wages earned at La Real.
La Real then spent €6m on Martinez's replacement, Roma defender and Mexico captain Hector Moreno.
"We have managed to resolve the situation in a brief time and we are very satisfied," La Real sporting director Loren said on Martinez's replacement.
The La Liga club has announced in a statement headlined "He is history" that from Friday afternoon, that they were offering all club supporters the chance to exchange for free the official Inigo Martinez jersey in their official stores, for another team shirt of this season with the name they wanted.
La Real had not expected Martinez to leave in the winter transfer window, and to join Athletic was considered high treason.
A youth product of La Real, Martinez scored 17 goals in 239 appearances for the San Sebastian-based club.
The Spain international, linked with Barcelona last summer, was a reported target of Athletic in the past and famously said back in 2014 that he "would never join" Athletic.
La Real are now eager to erase Martinez's name, a move that the fans have welcomed.

Smarties people are happy people
One conclusion that was reached however was that Smarties are not a good accompaniment to beer! I was okay as I was on the mineral water but if I'd chosen a nice glass of Syrah or Pinot, I'm pretty sure I would have concurred that as nice as they were I'm not sure Smarties will catch on as a bar snack.
A gift of a tube of Smarties as a child was always a wonderful thing. There was much speculation on revealing the letter underneath the plastic cap, as this was the first initial of your intended spouse in years to come. The tube itself was a pleasing shape and much used in Blue Peter style craft projects. And then there were the Smarties themselves, being slightly obsessed by colours, I liked to group them by hue and eat them 'in order' always ending on my favourite - orange! There was another reason for my careful sorting out of colours, however. My mother in a cunning ruse to secure a guaranteed share of any Smarties, had convinced me that the black and brown Smarties were the dreaded coffee flavour. And being very trusting I believed her and duly saved all the nasty coffee ones for her. Call it a 'Smartie Tax' if you will. It was many, many years before I could be convinced to try a black or brown Smartie as I was totally convince that if be poisoned. Imagine if she'd tried to convince me that the red ones were tomato flavour! I could have been traumatised for life!
Smarties have had a bit of a revamp recently. They are promoting their lack of artifical colours, probably as the colourings they were using were causing some consumers to bounce off the walls! The colours are now very different than I remembered. The green is much more vivid, the brown is very pale. The blue that was an addition in recent years has gone! See note about food colourings! And the beloved future husband predicting caps of my childhood? – gone, also in favour of new less tubular packaging!
In the name of research I procured some Smarties so I could check the ingredients. I couldn't see orange listed but I could see 'beetroot juice'! I am assuming this is to colour the red ones. I can't imagine they are slipping beetroots into such a well-loved confectionary; I'd call that seriously sneaky!
S and I are still convinced on a second tasting that we detect an orange flavour to the orange but the lack of orange essence listed on the package had us concerned. Nevertheless, a quick glance at the Nestle site confirmed what I've always believed - they do indeed flavour the orange ones with orange. They also say that they have produced 5,000 million Smarties caps in the last 25 years. Furthermore, apparently if all the Smarties eaten in a year were laid end to end they would stretch for almost 102,000 km. And I for one am glad they worked this out, as you never know when this information might be useful.
We were told in the old advert that 'Smarties people are happy people!' Which is true, though personally I'd forgo the pretty colours and always choose Minstrels over Smarties.

J, mmmnnnn - Smarties! That was my nickname whilst at school! The big slogan in Oz was 'eat the red one's last!'... And if I ever dressed in a red shirt at school on Friday's there'd be song and verse all over! DDx

I think Smarties and red wine would be a winning combo...
Smarties have magic football match predicting powers. When I was younger I would always get a tube before football. If there were more orange ones compared to the colour of the opposition team, it meant we would win! You were never allowed to eat the orange ones during the match, because that took the secret powers away. I used to store them up and end up with tubes and tubes of orange ones.

One interesting development regarding M&Ms is that Mars (makers of M&Ms in Deepest New Jersey and all other parts Stateside) seems to be trying to force an M&M rennaissance (the whole Reese's Pieces/E.T. debacle was a blow from which they never quite recovered their former glory) by rolling out, in addition to the standard milk chocolate and peanut (my peronal favorite) varieties, a whole bucketload of new M&M options. New models released in recent years include: dark (which I'll admit does pique my interest), almond, peanut butter (all candies released in the U.S. must, by law, include a peanut butter version. God bless America), crispy, ice cream, baking (smaller for putting in cookies, brownies, etc.) and minis (also smaller, but packaged for individual consumption). I must admit that this all feels a bit desperate to me, and worst of all are the minis. Due to their shrunken size, the amount of candy shell becomes too much relative to the amount of chocolate inside--my problem with Smarties--but without the nicer chocolate to compensate.
Footnote: I feel I should also mention that, back home in the States, it's very well known that green M&M's offer potent aphrodisiacal qualities. -R

As the M whose reputation has been besmirched by the libellous suggestion that I misled J at a tender age to purloin her Smarties, I must protest. J's memory is amiss. Maybe she learnt the "coffee" Smarties theory in the alternative reality she inhabited in her early years - or from her invisible friend Nathan who accompanied her until the age of 6. Nathan! Where did that come from?
J's gourmet leaning were sadly not evident at an early age. I recall an 8 year old J in the lovely Greek Islands who would not eat any food other than egg and chips. The Taverna chefs kindly complied with this perversion whilst the rest of us dined on beautiful food. J even scorned Greek milk as it was not in the glass bottles she recognized straight from the fridge. Does this sound like a future gourmet?
I really must wave the banner for coffee. This is probably unnecessary as most people of taste would be bereft without coffee. In my childhood coffee was a loathsome brew of boiled sterilised milk with a couple of spoonfuls of a strange liquor called Camp coffee. Coffee Bars arrived in my teens as well as rock and roll - and my preference Jazz. The bars were inevitably situated in cellars, dimly lit, shiny machines hissed out steam and that wonderful smell of fresh coffee and these exotic places were manned by interesting young men in tight Italian trousers and haircuts. Coffee Bars were as liberating to my generation as were burning you bra and flower power to the next. Since then coffee has been the thing to wake you up, pick you up, calm you down and restore sanity to a busy life. Coffee ice cream ,,Mmmmmm. Coffee cream chocolates as sublime.
I have digressed. An abject apology is expected from J. Daughters should hold to the fact of life that Mothers are always right and like Mary Poppins are practically perfect. Perhaps I might forgive her transgressions if she prepares me one of her made from scratch pasts dishes - I love the sauce of salmon, asparagus and cream. Perhaps some coffee creams from Thorntons might help.

Hmmm – methinks that M has perhaps overdosed on caffeine. See, I said it was dangerous!
And now I think if it, she loves coffee AND tomatoes AND goat's cheese. Also she likes her toast and steaks pretty carbonised, whereas I like my toast 'blonde' and my steak 'rare'. And horror of horrors, M doesn't really appreciate the potato!
I wonder where I got my tastes from?
And as for Nathan, he wasn't imaginary; unfortunately he was very much alive and used to eat worms. My imaginary friend was Adrian and I don't recall whether he had a penchant for any particular food. I can only assume M's 'faulty' memory is the consequence of all those ill-gotten brown and black Smarties. It's just a thought!

Buying a house in one of the nicest parts of town is all you've ever wanted – but now you have it, what's next? Well… surprise! The work doesn't stop when you move in. In fact, it's just getting started. Well, that's how it feels for us anyway!
Whether it's your first home or your forever home, there's constant work to do to keep up with the Joneses. Some interior flaws are easily hidden by sectioning off rooms when guests are around, but there's nothing you can do to hide the outside of your home. If you're anything like me then it's likely that the neighbours will notice something needs doing before you do. But, do you know what? You've earned your home, and now it's your chance to make it shine and stand out.
Show off your dedication and hard work by maintaining your now most prized possession. It probably sounds like a lot of work but there are a few easy solutions to fixing up your exterior and grounds. All you have to do is take a few tips and use your free weekends to make your home look great again. Why not start with these?
Garden Games
Let's start with the good news: 75 percent of homeowners own a lawn or have landscaping. That means you're not alone. There are a lot of people out there looking to spruce up the outside just like you. Over 80 percent of those homeowners do garden or landscaping work themselves but one-third of them don't know how often a garden should be watered, or how to grow a lush looking lawn – that includes me! This means there's a pretty good chance most homeowners don't know what to do if their lawn is diseased or brown. Luckily there's plenty of information out there to help solve the problem.
Chances are that if you notice something weird going on with your grass, something isn't right. Got some clover? That's not healthy. A splotch of pinkish looking mould? Yep, that's a lawn fungus, and there are hundreds of different varieties of them. Most lawn issues are treatable and usually all it takes is some readily available fertiliser or pesticides. Of course, the professionals will always be around to help you out of any major jam and you might even pick up a few tips from them for the future. We trust our gardeners 100% and they really do help us keep on top of our garden!
Exterior Tips
Sure, a nice green lawn is one of the first things anyone notices but there are plenty more fixes you can make to show off your family home. And, just as with lawn care, they're all pretty easy. Here are a few ideas.
Painting Shutters or Window Frames
Shutters are often an afterthought, but they can become a beautiful statement piece on nice homes. Opt for bright colors to distract from other inadequacies or go with a nice neutral tone that accents your exterior paint. The best part is shutters are something you can do on your own. Painting your own shutters only takes a few weekend hours and a bit of paint from a local hardware store. Painless and affordable it sounds like the perfect project to give your exterior a facelift.
Round Up The Weeds
Nothing can drag down the look of your outside more than weedy landscaping. Whether it's weeds in the mulch, in between the brick weave or vines climbing up the render, the unwanted greenery is sure to detract from the more attractive features of your home. As with shutter painting, this is an easy fix. A spray bottle of weed killer is all you need. If you get the good stuff, it'll take care of the growth without you ever even having to pull them!
Wash With Power
One last simple tip to keep your home looking great is to give it a good old bath. It might not be possible to scrub your entire house but you can clean up most of the grit and dirt by using a pressure washer. You could possibly rent these from a local hardware store or borrow one from a friend or neighbour – or even invest in one for long term use. Focusing on your driveway and siding will improve your exterior's look significantly.
The key to a beautiful home is a beautiful exterior, and it's not as hard as you think it is to maintain. Rid your garden of the ugly fungus and wash down the dirty spots to make it look like a brand-new house. Trust us, you (and your neighbours) will notice.

TaN: One of the most dangerous things happening today is — intentional or not — the irresponsible way we use words. And this is not to include or mention those that are intentionally deceptive (like in marketing and sales).
A case in point is the indiscriminate use of the words "healthy" and "affordable". It has become increasingly insulting and nauseating (and even patronizing) to hear the privileged few who either have jobs or occupations of influence (like media and celebrities who often get freebies) or receive comfortably above-the-average-working-smuck's-pay-grade salaries where they can relatively afford (slightly or above-average) pricey amenities in life easily.
Moreover, there are even those who wittingly or unwittingly — because they either need the job, as in marketers and salespeople, or enjoy many perks as lackeys and groupies of the well-off, respectively — serve as mindless pawns and espouse such words but do not mean them because they can ill-afford the high cost. I find it very irritating and infuriating to hear them prostitute themselves just to ingratiate themselves and/or advance the interests of people who only think of themselves and the good life they enjoy.
It is best that we choose words carefully so as both not to mislead people and create envy and a feeling of deprivation among others (when they keep hearing about how "affordable" something is when it is our of their financial reach).
TaN: I find it curious that we are frequently told or led to believe that there are more good people in the world than there are bad. However, it is likewise mentioned or implied in the Holy Scriptures that there will only be a (relatively) chosen few (as compared to the totality of all humanity who have ever lived) who will be lucky to enter Heaven — as most of humanity is expected to fall prey to Satan.
Given this, I would tend to conclude that, since the two appear to be diametrically opposed or opposite, both cannot be true. And since I am more inclined to believe in the Holy Scriptures than human conjecture, I would therefore tend to believe that there are not that many good people in the world.
But before I be condemned and ostracized, I would like to clarify that when I refer to "good" and "bad", it must be known and understood that what man generally and universally acknowledge and accepted as definition of "good" and "bad" are not the true definition. Moreover, man's tendency to overlook minor flaws and faults and credit them as "good enough" or to justify shortcomings and "lesser evils" by claiming that man is imperfect ergo entitled to be considered as good.
Finally, since I too am imperfect and possess a lot more flaws and faults than most other and than I care to admit, I therefore am not in any position to judge and condemn others. However, I do know through inferential logic that somethings just do not add up. I can recognize when things are contradictory and that there is falsehood afoot. And since I am more inclined to put my faith and trust in the Holy Scriptures than in the pronouncements of man — which, today, are increasingly more prone to machinations and manipulations for dubious ends — I would believe that there are still relatively many good people today but these good people are good only because they "agenda" do not involve or include "excessive" greed and world domination.
TaN: As an FYI, there are ways in which the freshness or healthfulness of certain foods can easily be determined — assuming that one knows how and where to look. Unknown to many, even when food has been served and without actually witnessing the cooking process, there are still reliable ways to determine certain basic questions like: Was it alive when cooked? or Was it free-range or
To tell whether shrimp was alive when cooked (via heat), the tail should be open or spread out (like an open fan) — assuming that the shrimp shell is intact, especially the tail section. If or when the tail is folded, the shrimp was not alive when cooked. This is because, as the shrimp is being cooked alive, it goes into a death throe and the (tail) muscles flexes in reaction to heat.
To tell whether a (rock or alimango and not alimasag) crab was alive when cooked, the eyes should be sticking out of the sockets — assuming that the crab is served whole and not chopped up, especially the shell has not been removed. If or when the eyes are in the sockets, the crab was not alive when being cooked. This is the same reason as in the shrimp except that it is the eye muscles that are involved.
To tell whether fish was alive when cooked, the pectoral fins should be at right (or slightly at right) angles to the body — seldom are the fins at right angles because the fish has to be flipped to the other side during cooking so the side facing up was cooked first and was flattened during that time so examine the fin joint. If or when the fin is flat on its side, the fish was not alive when being cooked. Again, this is for the same reason but it is the fins that are involved.
To tell whether a chicken is free-range (i.e., left to roam around and fend or augment its diet with whatever it can find in the environment, aside from the feeds) or commercially and cooped up during its adult life — hence cannot be regarded as free-range, organic, or healthy — the legs bones should be hard and difficult to break. If or when the leg bones are easily broken, it means the chicken spent most of its adult life sitting down in cramped quarters along with other chickens. Since the legs are seldom used, the bones will not be thick and tough because there is no weight-bearing load ergo no need for strong bones. Moreover, if the chicken is presented whole, the position of the legs in relation to the hips reveal whether it was free-range or cooped up in cramp quarters. Free-range chickens will have their legs set close to the inside of the hips instead of at the sides for those that sitting down most of its adult life. Legs at the sides are good for sitting while those close to the middle and below the body is to give better support to carry the body and move around.
Well, this is all for now.

How to improve the power generation capacity of photovoltaic power station
Author: Source: Datetime: 2016-11-16 09:29:30
Installation of solar backup generator, the most important is to enhance the power generation, how to improve the power generation of photovoltaic power plants? Here to give us a detailed explanation.
What is the relationship between power plants and power plants?
Solar radiation conditions
Photovoltaic cell component conversion efficiency under certain circumstances, the power of the photovoltaic system is determined by the solar radiation intensity. In general, the photovoltaic system is only about 10% of the solar radiation.
So to take into account the solar radiation intensity, spectral characteristics, as well as climate conditions.
Tilt angle of photovoltaic cell assembly
Solar azimuth generally south direction, so that the solar generator capacity per unit volume of the largest.
As long as the South within plus or minus 20 degrees, will not have much impact on power generation, conditions permitting, should be 20 degrees southwest.
PV module efficiency and quality
Calculation formula: theoretical generation = annual average total solar radiation * total solar cell area * photoelectric conversion efficiency
There are 2 factors, cell area and photoelectric conversion efficiency, the conversion efficiency of the power plant is a direct impact on the power generation.
Component matching loss
In series, the current losses due to the difference between the components of the current losses, in parallel will be due to the voltage difference between the components of the voltage loss. Losses could reach more than 8%.
In order to reduce the loss, loss, in order to improve the generation of power plant, pay attention to the following aspects:
1, to reduce the loss of matching, as far as possible with the current consensus of the series;
2, the components of the attenuation as much as possible to maintain consistency;
3, isolation diode;
Ensure good ventilation conditions.
Data presentation, the temperature increased by 1 degrees Celsius, crystalline silicon PV module group of large output power decreased by 0.04%. Therefore, to avoid the impact of temperature on power generation, maintain the formation of good ventilation conditions.
Dust losses can not be overlooked
Crystal silicon components of the panel for tempered glass, long-term exposure to the air, there will be a lot of organic matter and a lot of dust accumulation. It can reduce the output efficiency of the component, and directly affect the power output.
At the same time, it may also cause the "hot spot" effect of the component, which leads to the damage of the components.
Maximum output power tracking (MPPT)
Have the MPPT efficiency index in the inverter specifications, some 99%, some 99.9% standard. As we all know, the MPPT efficiency is the key factor to determine the photovoltaic power generation capacity, and its importance is much more than the efficiency of the PV inverter itself.
MPPT efficiency is equal to the efficiency of hardware by software. The hardware efficiency is mainly determined by the accuracy of the current sensor, the accuracy of the sampling circuit, and the software efficiency is determined by the sampling frequency. There are many ways to achieve the MPPT, but no matter what kind of method, the first to measure the changes in the power of the components, and then respond to changes. One of the key components is the current sensor, its accuracy and linear error will directly determine the hard and fast efficiency, and the sampling frequency of the software is determined by the accuracy of the hardware.
Reduce line loss
In the photovoltaic system, cable accounted for a small part, but the effects of cable for power generation can not be ignored, the loss of DC and AC circuit of the proposed system is controlled within 5%.
Cable to do a good job in the system, the insulation performance of the cable, the cable's heat resistance and flame retardant properties, cable moisture and light resistance, the type of cable core, the size of the cable specifications.
Inverter efficiency
PV inverter is the main component of the photovoltaic system and the important component, in order to ensure the normal operation of the power station, the correct configuration and selection of the inverter is particularly important. In addition to the inverter configuration in accordance with the technical specifications of the solar power generator system and reference manufacturers to provide product samples, the general need to consider the following technical indicators.
1, rated output power
2, the output voltage adjustment performance
3, the efficiency of the whole machine
4, start performance

bugsy: what it do ??that lueprolin
bugsy: ty I,ll check it out
TerryW: I have a large 1MB file on it but did not put it on the web site because it takes to long for people to download that only have dial-up connections
JohnM: Terry, do you know of any trials going on that we could enroll in.
TerryW: not yet john but I would imagine we will see some within the next year or so here
Murf: We learned about this at the last conference. This is why they (the conferences) are so important to me.
bugsy: goood let us know ,when it does terry
TerryW: ask for the file

TerryW: It's in Adobe PDF format
TerryW: Murf did you get all those reports I sent
Murf: Yes I got them
TerryW: JohnM please e-mail me and remind me ok?
MICH: They had a big deal on the national news last nite about doctors shouldn't subscribe neurontin for anything but epilepsy...(seems to work for dry throats??)... as FDA?? hasn't approved it for anything else and company has made a billion for telling doctors to proscribe it for other things.
JohnM: OK Terry.
TerryW: Anyone have any plans for the holiday weekend coming up
JoeK: I have beeb taken testosterone shots for several years
JohnM: MICH, I didn't hear about that.
TerryW: joe the Doc's have found that Testosterone aggravates KD
TerryW: they put out a report
bugsy: whats a testosterone shot and what it do???
bugsy: joe k
Murf: None of us are on Testosterone any more
Murf: I'm just taking vitamines and donating to the researchers
JoeK: I talk it out with Dr Sondeers
TerryW: Studies indicate that ligand, i.e. testosterone, is responsible for setting in action the toxic effects of the expanded repeat androgen receptor in KD mouse models. This is an important finding that indicates that testosterone may NOT be a good therapy for KD. A reduction of testosterone in this mouse model of Dr. Sobue's reduced the toxic effects of the mutant androgen receptor. However, the use of antagonists (drugs that counter the effect of testosterone) to the androgen receptor are not warranted either, as the accompanying paper on a fly model of SBMA shows that the use of antagonists that promote the transfer of the receptor into the nucleus of the cell (which testosterone does), also promotes disease symptoms. Please see the links to the files below. They are fairly large files and may take a few minutes to download depending on your connection speed so please be patient.
Murf: My screen just went blank??????
TerryW: Joe here is the link to the page with the info on testosterone http://www.kennedysdisease.org/research.html

Ask around and most people will say it's been a rather mild winter — and they're right.
According to Kevin Sullivan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gaylord, overall, this winter has been warmer with less snow.
"A lot of the country has had more snow than parts of Northern Michigan," Sullivan said.
Sullivan said from Oct. 1, 2008 through Feb. 8, 2009, Petoskey had 101.6 inches of snow compared to only 75 inches this year for the same time range. The average high temperature from November 2008 through Feb. 8, 2009 was 29.8 degrees compared to 34.6 degrees this year.
"It warmed a year ago on Feb. 8," Sullivan said. "Forty-four was the high in Petoskey. We lost a lot of snow that day as snow depth dropped to three inches. However, it was actually colder last year despite that high temperature."
Charlevoix is in a similar predicament with just 64.9 inches of snow from Oct. 1 through Feb. 8 compared to 117.2 inches for the same time frame last year and an average high temperature of 36.1 degrees from November through Feb. 8 compared to 32 degrees last year.

I love beets. Love, love, love them! I can't quite remember when it happened, but what I do remember is going from dislike to love was an overnight sensation.
My relatives were beet farmers and every time we visited their amazing farm the smell of the beets drove me mad. Funny that now I can remember that earthy smell and long for it.
The question now is not whether to eat them, but how to prepare them. A beet carpaccio? A beet and chickpea salad? A chocolate beet mousse torte?
Beets take so well to a simple vinaigrette it's almost too easy. I started there but wanted to add just a little further texture to them. Using toasted macadamia nuts gave the beets a little sweetness and life. Macadamia nuts are not as hard as other nuts so the soft crunch adds to the salad rather than distracts from it. The second technique that gives this beet salad variety is mixing part of the vinaigrette with a bit of Greek Yogurt, creating a tiered salad dressing and flavor profile.
Give in to the earthy, sweet beet with this Fat and Happy Balsamic Beet Salad. You may actually find you really enjoy them.
Balsamic Beet Salad with Toasted Macadamia Nuts
- 5 roasted beets
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (I used a flavored balsamic, cinnamon pear, but plain will work great too!)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or try vanilla for an interesting flavor twist)
- handful of toasted macadamia nuts
Wrap the beets in tin foil and roast in a 425 degree oven until just fork tender. Peel when cool enough to handle and cut into quarters.
Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, honey and olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Place the beets in the vinaigrette and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
When ready to serve, place the beets in a serving dish and pour three-quarters of the dressing over the beets. Whisk the remaining dressing with the Greek yogurt. Drizzle the yogurt vinaigrette over the beets and top with crushed macadamia nuts. Serve while warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Fat and Happy Food Blog Tips and Techniques: Wear gloves while peeling the roasted beets unless you want to have red stained hands for a day or two (which I don't mind so much).

Unsuitable Investment Advice
UBS Financial Services of Puerto Rico and their financial advisors are required to only recommend suitable investments to their customers. Unsuitable advice is a violation of the "know-your-customer" FINRA Rule 2090 and "suitability" FINRA Rule 2111.
Know Your Customer (FINRA Rule 2090)
The "know-your-customer" rule begins with the opening of the customer account and the requirement to ascertain through "reasonable due diligence" the determination of all "essential facts" concerning every customer of the brokerage firm. The essential facts are those required to:
- effectively service a customer's account;
- act in accordance with special instructions;
- authority to act on behalf of account holder;
- comply with industry laws, rules and regulations.
The "know-your-customer" obligation does not depend on whether a financial advisor has made a recommendation.
Suitability (FINRA Rule 2111)
The FINRA "suitability" rule requires that brokerage firms and its representatives have a "reasonable basis" to believe that a recommended investment or investment strategy is suitable based on a customer's investment profile. The rule requires "reasonable diligence" to ascertain information concerning a customer's investment profile, including:
- age;
- other investments;
- employment status;
- tax status;
- investment objectives;
- financial situation and needs;
- investment experience;
- investment time horizon;
- liquidity needs;
- risk tolerance; and
- any other information disclosed by customer in connection with recommendation.
The FINRA "suitability" rules rely upon a financial advisor's investment recommendation (buy, sell or hold as the triggering event for application of the rule. The rule applies a flexible approach to the "facts and circumstance" of a particular customer recommendation. A recommendation does not rely upon a transaction or the generation of compensation for its existence. A recommendation can result from financial advisor communication directed to facilitate a transaction or refrain from any transactions regarding a security or investment strategy in a customer account. The financial advisor must have a firm understanding of both the investment and the customer. Failure to understand both aspects is considered a violation of the rule.
The customer information profile includes an expanded list of types of information required for consideration when a suitability determination is made about an investment recommendation. To strengthen the rules that require the suitability analysis, brokerage firms and its representatives are required to indicate with "specificity" the reasonable basis for why a particular customer information profile factor is not relevant, in order to be relieved of the obligation to seek the required information.
Our team of lawyers can help you determine whether an investment loss is the result of unsuitable investment advice. If an investor suffers losses as a result of unsuitable investment advice they may be able recover their losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
