Hi Doris,
I am so EXCITED that you accepted Baby into your Pet Costume Contest! I can't wait to see who places in the top three.
I just wanted to say thank you for adding Baby as a contestant. I didn't have any photos of her in a costume, so I wasn't sure she could enter.
Baby's everyday wardrobe consists of colorful polo's/shirts & a few casual dresses. Nothing to extraordinary.
Unfortunately, I haven't found time (in between my crazy schedule) to go out and buy her a more "costume-like" outfit for Halloween.
However, I did buy her a darling pink & plaid dress not to long ago... (It was to perfect NOT to buy it) ...and then I realized that it could easily be worn as a as a Princess costume.
Except, she'll be able to wear it more than once a year!
I'll have to take a picture of her in it once I fix my camera.
*Stay Sweet*
-Thank you, Doris, for kindness & your friendship!
--->(Side Note: This picture above would be great to display in the contest entry)
*Just a couple random snapshots of Princess Baby:

Now you know, Doris, that as much as I am fond of my daughter's pup Dexter, I love cats! So this would have to be my favorite pet costume of all because who could deny such a sweet thing!
My daughter wasn't able to get Dexter his pumpkin costume, but I bet he would have made an awesome pumpkin, although I can't imagine him being very happy about having to wear an orange hat! LOL

Ben Hirschler & Kate Kelland: Brain wave
April 15, 2013
Send to Friend
Last week, President Barack Obama unveiled a major initiative to map the individual cells and circuits that make up the human brain. The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) and the Human Brain Project are more ambitious than the Human Genome Project on DNA mapping. However, it will be years before the findings of these programmes make a major difference to the condition of those suffering from brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and depression.
The Gulf Today Health Team
takes a look at the rationale behind the ambitious efforts in neuroscience
Governments on both sides of the Atlantic are placing big new bets on the future of brain science, just as much of the pharmaceutical industry retreats from the field.
Brain disorders ranging from depression to Alzheimer's are extracting an ever greater social and economic cost across the globe. But while the United States and European Union are funding ambitious efforts in neuroscience, the private sector is often sceptical about the prospect of rapid breakthrough cures.
Many pharmaceutical companies harbour deep doubts about whether neuroscience is worth their investment dollars as a boom period for once highly profitable psychiatric medicines comes to an end and new drugs prove hard to find.
President Barack Obama unveiled a major initiative last week to map the individual cells and circuits that make up the human brain. That announcement followed a EU decision in January to award up to $1.3 billion to a Swiss-based project aiming to create a synthetic "computerised" brain.
The two programmes — Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) and the Human Brain Project — have been compared with the Human Genome Project, the 13-year venture to map human DNA completed in 2003. In fact, they are even more ambitious, given their open-ended nature.
Yet it will be years, possibly decades, before the findings of these programmes make any significant difference to the millions of people worldwide suffering from brain disorders - a challenge for both neuroscientists and industry.
Brain science may be on the cusp of a new era, but in the short term it is proving frustratingly hard to improve on the uneven effectiveness of existing drugs — such as the 25-year-old antidepressant Prozac — or to find new Alzheimer's treatments.
Genetic help
Scientists have identified a group of patients with a genetic predisposition to mental illness, opening up for the first time the prospect of personalised medicine in psychiatry.
Personalised medicine involves identifying groups of patients whose genes make them susceptible to certain diseases and responsive to certain drugs.
Researchers from University College, London (UCL) studied 1,000 patients with bipolar disorder and found 1.7 per cent carried a mutation in an important brain receptor gene putting them at increased risk of the disease.
The findings suggest the patients with the mutation, called GRM3, could be treated with existing drugs, which are not currently used for bipolar disorder.
Hugh Gurling, a molecular psychiatry professor at UCL, who led the study published in JAMA Psychiatry, said many different genes were involved in causing bipolar disorder. These were the first mutations increasing susceptibility to the illness to be identified.
Examining the underlying genetics of the disease enabled psychiatrists to predict who would respond to different drugs. Two drugs trialled for schizophrenia and anxiety disorder could be effective in bipolar disorder, Professor Gurling said.
The Independent
Help or hype?
At a festival of neuroscience on the banks of London's River Thames this week, 2,000 neuroscientists from all areas of the field tried to bring their work to life for the public.
Wearing blue badges saying "ask me about brains" enthusiasts from universities, charities and patient groups invited visitors to "knit a neuron" or stimulate their grey matter by interacting with a walking man-sized sponge brain.
In rooms set back from the fun, brain scientists presented data on the prefrontal cortex and decision making, and delivered lectures on neuropsychiatry in the 21st century.
Some were buoyed by the news that world leaders have finally begun to notice their field, and are stumping up serious cash, but there is also a fear the big brain projects may generate more hype than help.
"There's going to be a lot of hype about this, just as there was at the beginning of the Human Genome Project," said Stephen Rose, a professor of biology and neurobiology at the Open University and the University of London.
"(Obama's BRAIN plan) will no doubt advance neuroscience, but whether it will advance patient care is a different question," he said, confessing also to "considerable scepticism" about the European brain project. That, he said, would probably do more for computing than it would for brain science.
Moncef Slaoui, head of research at GlaxoSmithKline, knows the ups and downs or the neuroscience field.
His company is one of those that has cut back its research and development work in neuroscience areas such as pain and depression, although it is still investing in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Britain's biggest drugmaker also has a new vision for treating disease by developing "bioelectronics" to target the electrical signals transmitted by nerves.
"With the investments that are being made now in brain mapping, I am very confident that major breakthroughs will come — I just don't know when," Slaoui told the media.
Although the Western world is still popping plenty of pills for mental illness, patent expiries and tumbling prices as cheap generics hit the market mean industry profits are eroding fast.
Worldwide sales of antidepressants, which peaked at $15 billion in 2003, are set to fall to $5.4 billion 2018, while antipsychotics are expected to tumble from a record $21 billion in 2011 to $9.8 billion, according to consensus analyst forecasts compiled by Thomson Reuters Pharma.
Yet there is still a big unmet need, with depression alone expected to be the largest cause of disability worldwide by 2030, according to the World Health Organisation.
The economic consequences are also huge, with the World Economic Forum estimating in 2011 that the cumulative global impact of mental disorders in terms of lost economic output would amount to $16 trillion by 2030.
Finding new drugs to treat brain disorders is notoriously tough. Early tests on animals are of limited value, since mice cannot tell scientists what they are feeling, and placebo drugs — or sugar pills — tend to have a major impact in human studies, making it very hard to know if a particular drug is working.
David Nutt, a professor of psychopharmacology at Imperial College London, also says restrictive rules on the drugs researchers can use to explore the brain are hindering progress.
"Most of the studies we do in animals that tell us about the brain use drugs which we cannot use in humans," he told the media. "We need to have a toolbox for human use. We need to have them made available so that we can ask fundamental questions about human brains."
Autism awareness
April is National Autism Awareness Month. It is a time set aside to help inform the community about autism and to bring about understanding to a condition which affects millions of children each year. In order to highlight the growing need for concern and awareness about autism, the Autism Society has been celebrating National Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s. The United States recognises April as a special opportunity for everyone to educate the public about autism and issues within the autism community.
Autism is a neurological and biological disorder that typically affects children between the ages in 18 months to five years of age. Autism currently affects one in every 88 children today. Autism affects each individual differently and at different levels of severity. Some people with autism are severely affected, cannot speak, require constant one-on-one care, and are never able to live independently.
While others who have less severe symptoms, can communicate, and eventually acquire the necessary skills to live on their own.
Thinning field
Companies that have cut back neuroscience work in recent years include GSK, Merck, Novartis and AstraZeneca, with the latter taking a further step to downgrade the area last month.
But not everyone is quitting. Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson still have major investments in neuroscience, while Roche — best known for cancer treatments — has recently increased its investment on brain disorders.
"It's still early days but we believe there is a lot of potential in neuroscience," said Roche CEO Severin Schwan. The Swiss drugmaker has a new treatment for schizophrenia in final-stage Phase III trials, results of which are due in the first half of 2014. If it works, Deutsche Bank analysts believe bitopertin could be a $4 billion-a-year seller.
Other analysts are sceptical, especially since the success rate for brain drugs in Phase III is poor, averaging around 50 per cent against 50-80 per cent for other disease areas.
The general pullback by industry has thinned out the field, which could be good for those companies remaining — although it may not last.
"The big brain initiatives in both the US and Europe are long-term. Ultimately, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up throwing up positive developments that prompt Big Pharma to re-enter the area," said Anders Gersel Pedersen, research head at Danish neuroscience specialist Lundbeck.

Gov. Ted Kulongoski has signed a bill into law that enables law enforcement in Oregon to pull over the state's youngest drivers for using cell phones. It takes effect Jan. 1, 2008.
The new law, previously HB2872, prohibits drivers under 18 from using any cell phone, pager or BlackBerry-type device while at the wheel. Police could only ticket offenders for chatting on the phone after pulling them over for another traffic offense.
Rep. Greg Macpherson, D-Lake Oswego, the bill's author, said the intent of the legislation is to make sure new drivers stay off their cell phones. Violators would face up to $90 fines.
At least a dozen states already ban or restrict young drivers from using cell phones. Currently, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have the only statewide laws restricting hand-held cell phone use for all drivers. In 2008, California and Washington are slated to implement their own rule. No state prohibits hands-free usage for all drivers.

Situated at 373 Bay Street, the main strip of Brighton le Sands lies a reputable cafe with a name that would strike curiosity within those few that appreciate the art of word play in this day and age. Yes DeZerts got my attention not only as a means of completing my quest for air-conditioning on this particularly hot day.
Nothing particularly "hipster" about this joint but with its clean and simple interior and (unfortunately inactive) chocolate fountain I was more than willing to return to the mainstream. But truthfully they have a wonderful menu for lunch including their extensive choices of crepes, waffles and ice-cream- that and your usual cafe essentials like the $18 Fresh tuna quinoa salad w/ roast pumpkin, olives, feta, and lemon vinaigrette that Mimi ordered. I ordered an $18 Turkey, grilled chicken, mushroom and cheese crepe- which I must warn you, is extremely cheesy (like pooling on your plate, cheesy) and very filling. I would say you could share this between two, that is to say the proportions are generous.
I was very excited at the plentiful refreshments menu with its healthy green and freshly squeezed classic juices. I opted for a $7 iced-coffee and Mimi a $7 Green juice. Most drinks come in rustic milk bottles and mason jars if you were wondering.
Also its vegan friendly so these members of society may for once enjoy an equally satisfying experience! (Shout out to my vegan friends- "Keep doing you!" xoxo)
Overall the dining experience was nice and the staff were very friendly, although it was pricey ($$)- it helps to keep in mind that it is in an exclusive location- the food was wholesome and delicious. Definitely worth a try and if you ordered crepes- I recommend a brisk walk down to the beach and a subsequent fitness regime for a minimum of 2 weeks.

The brewer has an attached cordset and requires 2-wire grounded service rated 120 volts ac, 15 amp, single phase, 60 Hz. INITIAL SET-UP CAUTION - The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial set-up, except when specified in the instructions. 1. Insert an empty funnel into the funnel rails. 2. Place an empty dispenser under the funnel. 3. Pour three pitchers of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer. Allow approximately two minutes between pitchers for water to flow into the tank. While the third pitcher of water is entering the tank, the tank will fill to capacity and the excess will flow from the sprayhead, out of the funnel, and into the dispenser. 4. When the flow of water from the funnel stops, connect the brewer to the power source and wait approximately twenty minutes for the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature. Some water will drip from the funnel during this time; this is due to expansion and should not occur thereafter. 5. Empty the dispenser and replace it under the funnel. 6. Pour one pitcher of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer. 7. When water has stopped flowing from the funnel let water in the tank reheat to the proper temperature. 8. Empty the dispenser. The brewer is now ready for use in accordance with the coffee brewing instructions below. NOTE: The control thermostat will need to be adjusted downward to compensate for high altitudes. Refer to Steaming and spitting around the funnel on page 5 for instructions. COFFEE BREWING 1. Insert a BUNN® filter into the funnel. 2. Pour the fresh coffee into the filter and level the bed of grounds by gently shaking. 3. Slide the funnel into the funnel rails. 4. Place an empty dispenser beneath the funnel. 5. Pour one pitcher of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer. 6. When brewing is completed, simply discard the grounds and filter. 1. CLEANING The use of a damp cloth rinsed in any mild, non-abrasive, liquid detergent is recommended for cleaning all surfaces on Bunn-O-Matic equipment. 2. Check and clean the sprayhead. The sprayhead holes must always remain open. 3. With the sprayhead removed, insert the deliming spring (provided) all the way into the sprayhead tube. When inserted properly, no more than two inches of spring should be visible. Saw back and forth five or six times. NOTE – In hard water areas, this may need to be done daily. It will help prevent liming problems in the brewer and takes less than a minute.

Picasso Cubism Coasters
Preschool-First Grade
Discussion: Cubism/perspective/emotion
What does perspective mean?
How do things look from an airplane?
How does an airplane look from here?
How small are the trees in the park from here? Can they fit in your fingers?
And standing next to them how much could we fit in our fingers? One piece of bark??
PERSPECTIVE: how you see things from where you are
In this classroom: some of you are looking at this half of my face and some at this half
Cubism means to draw things from several perspectives in one space
PICASSO pioneered the idea he is the father of cubism
Picasso would draw one face but show it from profile and forward.
Emotion: how color, music, life make you feel
If you are in a bad mood do you think you would paint the same thing if you were in a good mood?
What about music? If you are listening to your favorite song/artist do you think you would paint the
Same thing as you would if you were listening to your Least favorite?
Picasso included emotion in his pieces deciding on colors and images based upon how he felt in that moment.
ARTIST: Pablo Picasso
(25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973)
He was a Spanish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor.
He is one of the most recognized figures in 20th-century art.
He is best known for co-founding the Cubist movement and for the wide variety of styles embodied in his work. Picasso demonstrated uncanny artistic talent in his early years,
He painted in a realistic manner through his childhood and adolescence;
During the first decade of the twentieth century his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas.
Picasso's creativity manifested itself in numerous mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawing, and architecture. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him universal renown and immense fortunes throughout his life, making him the best-known figure in twentieth century art.
PROJECT: create a clay coaster with a Picasso influenced face
Step1: roll your clay out like a snake
Step2: coil it up like a sleeping snake
Step3: begin to flatten it so that the top and bottom are smooth
Step4: once you have a smooth circle begin to add facial features with your toothpick
Step5: add eyes: one forward and one sideways
Step6: add a nose but maybe it is upside down or on the cheek
Step7: add a mouth but maybe it is on the forehead or sideways
Step8: don't forget hair
Here are additional photos of Picasso coasters from preschoolers that have been glazed and fired

[VGM Release] Without Within III - Meteo Xavier tracks
Meteo Xavier posted a topic in CommunityI know pronouncements for album releases here aren't as hot as they used to be, but I submit this work for your consideration and enjoyment anyway: I finally got to do a commissioned work for a visual novel and I contributed 12 tracks to the third game in a visual novel series called Without Within by InvertMouse Games. Not only is this my highest quality release to date, but it's also one of my most consistent and less electronic than before. I had to use more loop and phrase libraries to make that work since everything was still done in the computer and I can't play guitar, but the quality of the output speaks for itself. It fulfills my 15-year goal/dream to make music that puts my Chrono Cross inspiration full to the front AND I finally got to actually perform (with a piano) on a commercial music release instead of just sequence it (and it's not even any of the tracks that has a piano on it!) I don't get to sell this soundtrack as part of my contract deal with the commissioner, but for anyone who is interested in it, I'll post up a link here when that becomes available. Until then, please enjoy this work. I really got to break a lot of new ground here and I hope you're as pleased with it as I am! Composition, arrangement, mixing and further production: Meteo Xavier Mastering: Brandon Strader Album Artwork: Meteo Xavier using public domain images. Game available through InvertMouse Games.
4. submitted Donald in Cold Shadow (PC) - "Dance like Popcorn"
Guifrog posted a topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!It's been a while from my last posted mix and I haven't been making new music ever since, so I thought I'd give you a glance of what I'm currently cooking here. Tip: it's popcorn, inside a volcano, with some help from the muddrakes. :} Here's the main source. Here's the secondary source. Totally random timbale sounds <-> corns, the marimba attempts to play like corn, the glock is like the metal from the pan (or so), etc etc. Might sound a bit conservative for now, but I plan to expand on it lots more as I plan to submit it. What do you think?
Feedback - Space Racing music
JBarron posted a topic in Post Your Original Music!So I am really stepping out of my orchestral/classical background with this game. The game is a challenging space racer title and the director of it really loves synthwave so I made sure the synthetic sound was in every track. However, I wanted to use acoustic sounding elements mixed in. My influences for this are Masashi Hamauzu and 65daysofstatic (No Man's Sky). These tracks are in their very VERY early stages so I plan to make changes. I hope those that listen really enjoy the music and maybe leave a comment to critique.

Long Yun Siang's (pictured, right) decision not to pitch might raise a few eyebrows in the industry, especially since many other businesses get clients through pitches.
However, he feels if the creative industry wants to push the business model into the professional league, it should operate like that of professionals such as lawyers, doctors and accountants, who don't pitch for their work.
"Pitching is like getting married after one blind date," Long explains. "We don't ask an accounting firm to pitch for our work or a doctor to pitch to get to treat us, do we?"
It goes without saying that Long understands that many companies have policies to adhere to which he respects, but adding he'd rather work on small projects that allow clients to know them better.
Roar Point was founded in 2009 by Long and Ng Wan Hoon (pictured, left). The company name is meant to reflect the advertising landscape and having a roar that is relevant to consumers.

Energized Water
Although only relatively new the idea of Energized water, it is certainly been with us since the earth was created.
All things in the world carry a frequency or subtle energy field that is resonant to its nature of survival. If distorted whether it be a human body or a plant the result in the end is death. Likewise if we promote the correct frequencies for the human body or plant we have a increase in well being and health.
Your TruHealth is happy to say we have a new product which is activated salt or magnesium which carries minerals in its own form but also the activation is actually the correct frequency for 127 acupuncture points using the salt and 132 using the magnesium.
The effect of using activated salt and magnesium in the human body can be mild to astounding in some people. We endeavor to keep you up to date as to what is happening with any of the trials being conducted using activated salt to create Energized Water.

Procrastination is the tendency to avoid unpleasant or stressful tasks—that are often very important—and replace them with less important, less stressful tasks. A person who avoids calling a debt collector or who posts on social networking sites instead of writing a paper is engaging in procrastination.
What Causes Procrastination?
All people procrastinate from time to time. The ability to temporarily distract oneself from stress and unpleasant tasks may even be an important coping mechanism in a high-stress society. However, procrastination can also limit a person's productivity. Some people spend so much time procrastinating that they are unable to complete important daily tasks. They may have a strong desire to stop procrastinating, but feel they cannot do so.
Procrastination in itself is not a mental health diagnosis. It can be, however, a characteristic feature of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). People with ADHD often have extreme difficulties with time management and organization, and tend to procrastinate more often than other people. Depression and anxiety can also cause an increase in procrastination. People who are prone to anxiety, who do not have good time management skills, or who have very high-stress jobs often turn to procrastination as a coping strategy. Long-term procrastination can lead to chronic stress, difficulty with school and work, and trouble in relationships. People who procrastinate may end up working late or avoiding time with family or friends to make up for lost time.
Is There Treatment for Procrastination?
When procrastination is a symptom of a psychiatric condition, medication and therapy to address the underlying condition can help reduce a person's tendency to procrastinate. Some people procrastinate so frequently that it negatively interferes with their daily functioning. In those cases, therapy can help a person identify why and when they procrastinate, replace self-defeating thoughts with more productive thoughts, and learn new behavioral strategies to cope with stress. Learning effective time management skills can also be extremely helpful for people who procrastinate, such as placing limits on breaks, scheduling out daily activities, and structuring leisure time. These strategies can also help people feel like they have more leisure time and decrease their desire to procrastinate.

I wonder sometimes if procrastination is the only way some people have of slowing down. You can only do every day at breakneck speed for so long. You're not allowed to say "this workload is too much" or simply "I'm drowning". Maybe procrastinating is the only way to grab some time, and it doesn't matter because there's only an finite amount of time for an endless amount of work.
You start to feel hopeless very quickly, especially when you're the weakest link who isn't able to keep pace with everyone else. You can't ask for help, because everyone is struggling under a mountain much larger than yours.
Do you have any idea what the job market is like today? If I were laid off now, I'd be homeless in six months; I don't have a master's degree, or enough collateral to take out loans for grad school. I don't make enough now to ever get married or have kids, because I'm saving so much for my own retirement & taking care of my folks. I haven't taken a vacation in over a year, because I'm responsible for making deadlines. I'm drowning every day…for what? Why work so hard every damn ninute just to be ground into a little more dust tommorrow?

For several years I was overworked and begged for help – but was ignored. I learned to procrastinate in order to balance my day/work. Now I need the tools to direct my energy into dealing with the issues head-on -I need to learn to not procrastinate. Any suggestions?

Immunofluorescence analysis Fixation, blocking, and principal and secondary antibodies as well as mounting medium employed within this study were previously described (Bondue et al., 2008), except for the anti-GFP staining (rabbit polyclonal; 1:1,500; Invitrogen).Counterstaining of purchase JK184 nuclei was performed with Hoechst (1:two,000; Invitrogen). Immunostaining was acquired making use of a microscope (Axio Observer.Z1), a camera (AxioCam MR3 or MRc5), as well as the Axiovision application (Carl Zeiss, Inc.). Acquisitions have been performed at space temperature employing ten and 20EC Program Neofluar objectives (10= 0.3 numerical aperture and 20= 0.four numerical aperture; Carl Zeiss, Inc.). Mosaics were generated by the Axiovision software program utilizing a 10 overlap among every single single acquisition. Confocal pictures were acquired at space temperature employing a multiphoton confocal microscope (LSM510 NLO; Carl Zeiss, Inc.) fitted on an inverted microscope (Axiovert M200; Carl Zeiss, Inc.) equipped with C-Apochromat (40= 1.2 numerical aperture and 63= 1.2 numerical aperture) water immersion objectives (Carl Zeiss, Inc.). 0.35-mm-thick, 512 512 ixel optical sections had been collected sequentially for each and every fluorochrome. The datasets generated were merged and displayed using the LSM510 software program and exported in TIF image format. Live-sample imaging 8 d immediately after cell isolation at D3 and replating on gelatin-coated dishes, beating regions have been imaged by time-lapse bright-field acquisitions applying a microscope (Axio Observer.Z1) and the Axiovision computer software. All acquisitions had been performed at area temperature utilizing a 10EC Strategy Neofluar objective (0.three numerical aperture). Image sequences have been compiled together with the Axiovision application, and video files show 15 images/s. RNA isolation, reverse transcription, quantitative PCR, and single-cell PCR RNA extraction, DNase treatment, and RT-PCR had been performed as previously described (Bondue et al., 2008).

All primers have been designed working with Lasergene 7.two software (DNAStar, Inc.) and are listed in Table S2. Single-cell PCR, generation of cDNA, and PCR amplification were performed as previously described (Jensen and Watt, 2006). In short, just after cDNA synthesis, two rounds of 35 cycles of amplifications have been performed by PCR, as well as the amplification product was employed as a PCR template for the detection of gene expression. For single-cell PCR experiments, CXCR4/PDGFRa/Flk1 TP cells had been sorted straight in 96-well plates containing the very first strand buffer. The cDNA amplification process was utilised for the expression profiling of colonies obtained immediately after differentiation of single Mesp1-GFP cells sorted in 96 wells.Assays, 50 isolated cells were replated in each and every well of an 8-well Lab-Tek glass chamber slide (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with Y-27632 (EMD) at a final concentration of 10 for the very first 48 h.

WASHINGTON (AP) � Senate passage of historic immigration legislation offering citizenship to millions looks near-certain after the bill cleared a key hurdle with votes to spare.
A final vote in the Senate on Thursday or Friday would send the issue to the House, where conservative Republicans in the majority oppose citizenship for anyone living in the country illegally.
Some GOP lawmakers have appealed to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, not to permit any immigration legislation to come to a vote for fear that whatever its contents, it would open the door to an unpalatable compromise with the Senate. At the same time, the House Judiciary Committee is in the midst of approving a handful of measures related to immigration, action that ordinarily is a prelude to votes in the full House.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said today that the Senate's advancement of stronger border security measures makes it "even more likely" that immigration reform will pass the House and become law. He said the House won't take up the Senate bill but will do its own legislation, adding that "the majority of Republicans support the border security" as the keystone of immigration reform. He spoke on CBS' "This Morning."
"Now is the time to do it," President Barack Obama said yesterday at the White House before meeting with nine business executives who support a change in immigration laws. "I hope that we can get the strongest possible vote out of the Senate so that we can then move to the House and get this done before the summer break," which begins in early August.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said today she thinks it's important for the House to have its own bill and said, "Let's be optimistic about it."
Pelosi told CNN she thinks it has an excellent chance of passing in the House because GOP lawmakers remember the party's poor showing with Hispanic voters in last year's presidential election. She said that election "sends an eloquent message" to them.
Obama's prodding came several hours before the Senate voted 67-27 to advance the measure over a procedural hurdle. The tally was seven more than the 60 needed, with 15 Republicans joining Democrats in voting yes.
"I think we're building momentum," said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who worked with Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., on a $38 billion package of security improvements that helped bring Republicans on board by doubling the number of border patrol agents and calling for hundreds of miles of new fencing along the border with Mexico.
Those changes brought border security spending in the bill to $46 billion.
"The bill has been improved dramatically tonight by this vote, there's no question," Corker said. "My sense is we're going to pass an immigration bill out of the United States Senate, which will be no doubt historic and, I think, something that's very, very important to this nation."
Last-minute frustration was evident among opponents. In an unusual slap at members of his own party, as well as Democrats, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said it appeared that lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle "very much want a fig leaf" on border security to justify a vote for immigration.
Senate officials said some changes were still possible to the bill before it leaves the Senate � alterations that would swell the number of votes in favor.
At the same time, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who voted to advance the measure during the day, said he might yet end up opposing it unless he wins changes he is seeking.
Senate Democrats were unified on the vote.

In an effort to make Mondays not so dreadful I've decided to start sharing some of the amazing artwork that inspires me. Today I'm inspired by the lovely Lizzy Stewart and her shop "About Today". Her work is so achingly beautiful it takes my breath away. I love the detail and the tiny spots of color. As soon as this money diet is through I'll be picking up a few of her pieces for myself. I hope you'll hop over to her shop and get inspired too!

Attack of the prunes. . . Ethan swatted my hand just as I was about to feed him some prunes and of course right after that he rubbed his eye and for some reason he thought it was really funny.
This is my mom and she would KILL ME if she know that I had this picture on the Internet for anyone to look at. My mom HATES her picture taken. I seriously don't have any pictures of her just smiling at the camera. She was so mad after I took this picture, oh well, at least she doesn't know what I'm doing with it!

Off to the circus - Advanced Analytical Chemistry/
There is a time in my course, which, while hard to identify, I would approximate somewhere in the middle of second year, where the lab work starts to change. To start with, it is very subtle- the lab scripts start having slightly less detail, the guidance becomes less specific, and the practicals go from 'here's a thing to do…' to 'investigate this'
This becomes obvious in the second term, where there is currently the Wembury Project. This is the only time in the course (not counting placement, of course) where the students go from sample collection to writing up results. And that's the point I stepped back and realised- I'm not being taught any more. I'm learning by actually doing stuff that is done every day by chemists in the workplace.
I think this transition is best summed up by one of my lecturers who describes it as the point at which we start to be trained, rather than taught. This brings me nicely onto the analytical circus.
The analytical circus is the (mostly) serious name of the practical side of the Advanced Analytical Chemistry unit. It's a rota system, thus for my team of 4, (at time of writing) last week we had flame AAS (atomic absorption spectroscopy) to investigate magnesium in (fake!) human urine. This involved making a set of calibration standards, diluting the "urine" into range, setting up the instrument, optimising it for the right wavelengths and to get a clear and noise-free reading, then running the calibration, followed by the samples.
In all honesty, this is a relatively simple process. The particular instrument used by us has a completely manual adjustment, meaning instead of telling a computer to do stuff, it's more a case of change something, see the result change and understand why. The demystifying of the "black box" principal, as it is occasionally called- the instrument isn't a mysterious "black box" where something goes in, and it gives you a reading- I know exactly what each setting does, why it does it and it's likely effect. And it's incredibly satisfying to run this, and then get a quantifiable number at the end.
Then when I take a step back, I can see- I wasn't being taught how to use the instrument. I was being trained, for the instrument and the role of an analytical chemist at a hospital analysing urine and in all honesty, it was a piece of pie!
Next Tuesday and Wednesday I am doing the #ChatWithPlym social media event which is a chance for prospective students to ask questions about University life and their course. Ask me questions at the event and if anyone should ask me my favourite part of the course, don't be surprised when I get excited about spending 3 hours in a lab looking at fake urine!

ShowerStick regeneration instructions:
When to Regenerate:
You don't need to regenerate your ShowerStick prior to its first use. How often you regenerate depends on your water hardness, how many people are using the shower and how often, the duration of each shower and the water pressure. After you install the ShowerStick, use the test kit and you'll see that you now have soft water (0-3 drops/grains). Repeat this process after each shower and when the test kit shows your water is no longer soft, you'll know it's time to regenerate. Now you'll know how many showers you can take before needing to regenerate again in the future and will no longer need to use the test kit. (Note: Don't test the water right after regenerating – the salt still inside from regenerating will test as a mineral so the salt needs to be flushed out first for at least 2 minutes). At what point you choose to regenerate is up to your personal preference. Some people who have skin disorders will regenerate at 3-4 grains while others are fine regenerating at 7 grains.
(Water hardness in grains: Soft = 0-3, Moderately Hard = 3-7, Hard = 7-10, Very Hard = 10-14, Extremely Hard = 14+).
How to Regenerate:
1. Remove the regeneration port cap and gently place the shower head on your shower floor to allow the water to drain (takes about 2 minutes).
2. Prepare your salt water solution. Using an empty 1 liter water or soft drink bottle, pour 1 cup (or 3/4 cup if you have the ShowerStick with IRON CONTROL resin) granulated (fine grain) table salt (plain or iodized) into the bottle and fill with hot tap water (hot water dissolves the salt faster but you can use any temperature water). Shake well until the salt is dissolved.
Tip: Coarse grain salts such as softening salt, rock salt, sea salt, kosher salt, and potassium chloride should not be used since they won't dissolve completely in the water and therefore won't thoroughly regenerate the resin.
Tip: Draw a line on the bottle to show where the salt came up to so you don't have to measure the salt again in the future.
3. With the shower head still on the floor, slowly (don't use a funnel) pour your salt water solution into the regeneration port. If the salt water backs up while pouring it inside, give it a few seconds to drain out. If salt is left at the bottom of the bottle undissolved, pour some more hot water into the bottle, shake, then pour inside. The more the salt is dissolved, the better job it will do to regenerate the resin.
4. Once all the salt water flows out through the shower head and into the drain (takes about 2 min.), put the shower head back up in the MOUNT and re-attach the REGENERATION PORT CAP.
Tip: If you're not super strong, using your bath towel to tighten the CAP one more last notch can be helpful.
5.. Turn the water on and let it run for 15-30 seconds to fill the ShowerStick back up with water (to keep the resin moist) and to rinse the residual salt through the resin to finish the regeneration process. You now have soft water again and can take a shower whenever you'd like.
NOTE: Our previous regeneration instructions also work great and can continue to be used. However, after extensive testing we've found that with our current instructions the duration between regenerations needed is slightly extended.

The British Army's third highest ranking officer has raised further doubts on government plans to slim down the armed forces. General Sir Richard Shirreff, told the Sunday Times that plans to slash active personnel from 102,000 to 82,000 represented "one hell of a risk".
Sir Richard said: "We all support the efforts to get the deficit down but it is all about priorities. What really matters? Well, the first duty of government is to protect the nation. Defence is really, really important.
"And the electorate need to understand there is no point in having hospitals and schools and welfare unless the country is safe."
General Shirreff's statements come as it was revealed that Britain now has fewer tanks than Switzerland – a country that has not fought a war in 150 years. The Mail reports that Britain maintains 227 active Challenger 2 tanks, "while the famously neutral Swiss have 380 German-made Leopard 2 vehicles." Russia currently has 2,550 tanks and the US has 10,000.
Shirreff went on to point out that the government had made a pretty good fist of a very difficult hand of cards but said: "'I wouldn't want to let anybody think that I think that Army 2020 is good news, it's not.
"The sort of defence cuts we have seen… have really hollowed out the British armed forces and I think that people need to sit up and recognise that.
"A hollowed-out navy means you can't project power. I've heard this said in the Ministry of Defence: 'The yardstick by which we measure ourselves is our ability to punch above our weight'. You can't do that now. By that yardstick, therefore, we're failing."
The news comes after the House of Commons Defence Committee Select Committee claimed that Russia's actions in Crimea has taught us the that state-on-state conflict remains a threat. They went on to say that the UK must maintain a "credible deterrent" against threats such as nuclear and cyber attacks.

First Degree Murderer??
Before my trial commenced, the judge explained the Felony Murder Rule, the law under which I am convicted. He gave an Old West bank robbery as analogy. He said that if I were waiting outside in the horse drawn carriage, and my buddy went in to rob the bank, never intending to kill, but does, then we are both guilty of Felony First Degree Murder. We're both on the hook for the death. That was his explanation. Yet, my co-defendant, "Red" was allowed to strike a deal with the DA. Due to his prior convictions for robbery and burglary, he got six year doubled to twelve with a five year enhancement for a total of 17 years. He got on the stand and painted me to be a bully, who forced him to give me the keys and take me to the truck. He didn't want to, but according to his testimony, he acquiesced to my aggressive and persistent requests. At sentencing I received 25 to life. Red was 36 years old at the time, so he'll be out at age 50. I was 21 at time of sentencing, so I'll go to "board" when I'm 46.
The felony that identifies me as a first degree murderer is 2nd degree burglary, which was in commission as soon as I opened the locked vehicle door with the key, that Red provided. Since he had a key and said it was his, I thought he owned the truck. We got into the vehicle and I began to drive off. I stopped to turn on the headlights, and someone shouted "I'm going to kill you!" Red jumped out and started running away. I panicked and pressed the gas pedal, intending to escape a block or two away, then abandon the vehicle. I was intoxicated, in a panic, and a stupid fool. Unbeknownst to me, the true owner of the truck, high on meth-amphetamines jumped into the back; he was a small time user-dealer in the area and a handyman. I crashed the vehicle, and he was flung from the vehicle and instantly killed. The window was shattered on the truck, and I was thrown into the street. In a daze, I ran off. I was apprehended about 20 minutes later.
The DA explained to the jury that my parolee co-defendant ran from the scene, because he was "scared of breaking parole." I ran, because I'm a hardened and selfish criminal who cares only about myself. This, even though Red was a parolee with prior robbery and burglary convictions, and I'd never been to prison. My minimal record included vandalism and possession of a usable amount of meth.
What I did was wrong. What happened was a tragedy, and everyday I live with the fact that I took a life. It was an unintentional and, in fact, I didn't know he'd actually jumped into the truck, but he had and he died. Everyday I live with the fact that I killed a man, but I do not believe I am a first degree murderer. I deserve to spend a significant term in prison, but not 25 to life. This is the same sentence a person receives for maliciously plotting another person's death and carrying through with that plot. There are many cases exhibiting the harshness of the felony murder rule in the courts. One young man at a party agreed to give another a ride to purchase marijuana, which is not a felony, but his passenger went into the dealer's garage and killed him. The driver, convicted and sentenced to 25 to Life, had no idea what the passenger had planned or done.
If Richard Hoagland had not jumped into the truck and two days later I'd run over someone crossing the street, I'd have been charged with GTA (grand theft auto), which does not fall under the felony murder rule, and vehicular manslaughter.
The law is so full of loopholes and contradictions, it sometimes just doesn't make much sense. What about that lawyer who sued Red Bull for $13 million, because the drinks don't actually "give you wings?" (http://mpora.com/articles/man-sues-red-bull-for-not-giving-him-wings-and-earns-13-million-settlement#eSObT5PkA3hWdQve.99)
Some things aren't working in the law and need to be changed.
I know a man who was taking a walk one night, and came across a man raping a woman. He picked up a metal pole and whacked the guy once in the back of the head, killing the rapist. He was tried and convicted of involuntary manslaughter, sentenced to 4 years. What was he supposed to do? Confront the man and risk himself and the woman being shot and killed or stabbed? Ask him nicely to stop? Call the police and allow the man to escape and do it again?
I was talking to a C.O. and told him about some of this and said I understand there needs to be police, jails, and sentences or the world would be more of a mess than it is now, but that I think laws need to be changed and a lot of sentences are excessive for the circumstance of the crime. He didn't agree and said, "Justice is blind. That's why she wears the blindfold, and it varies."
I agree. Justice is blind. And justice needs to remove the blindfold. Justice can sometimes seem to take on the appearance of retribution.
Why is it that in California a lot lifers don't get released, or they do and the governor repeals the release. Is this justice? Am I a first degree murderer? No! I deserve to be serving a long sentence, but not 25 to life. Changes need to be made to the penal system. Be a part of it. Please go to change.org and sign a petition to repeal the Felony Murder Rule.

People are constantly trying to find quick weight reduction techniques. In this article, I will discuss five healthy quick weight loss tips to help you slim down rapidly. If you have checked out any of my other write-ups, you know that I am more about making long-term healthy life-style transformations than quick fixes. However, as it turns out, when you make healthy life style changes, you can really drop weight incredibly rapidly. I lost 13 pounds in the first 3 weeks of changing my diet, without depriving myself. Just remember, it undoubtedly took you a long time to put the extra weight on, so it may take a while to take it off.
Quick Fat burning Strategy # 1:
Eat natural foods instead of processed food items. That's right, consume tons of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and grains. Ideally, eat these in raw and organic form. Not only do these health foods generally have far less calories than refined foods, but they are also a lot more digestible and nutrient-rich. So, you can eat a ton of them and still slim down without depriving yourself.
Quick Weight Loss Tip # 2:
Eat Lots of Lean Protein. Foods like wild-caught fish, free range organic chicken, and grass fed, humanely raised beef are excellent sources of protein. Also, healthy vegetarian sources of protein include whole grains like brown rice and quinoa. Nuts, seeds, beans and legumes are likewise excellent sources of protein.
Quick Weight Loss Suggestion # 3:
Enjoy healthy fats in your diet. That's right, there are healthy fats! Simply because something has fat in it doesn't indicate it's bad for you. Additionally, many of these "fat free" refined foods are not only NOT helping you lose weight, but can in fact contribute to weight GAIN. Healthy fats can be found in olives and olive oil, coconuts and coconut butter or oil, nuts and organically raised meats and eggs.
Quick Weight Loss Suggestion # 4:
Get active! Until now, I have mentioned the intake side of the weight – loss formula. Nevertheless, my advice would not be complete without discussing physical exercise. You don't need to start with crazy-long trainings that you detest. Try taking a long walk or taking up a pastime you like. Basketball, racquetball, tennis, or running come to mind.
Quick Fat burning Idea # 5:
Drink enough water! Your body is 70 % water and you need to constantly replace it for optimal wellness. Drinking lots of water helps flush toxins out of your system. This is particularly necessary if you are following the first 4 tips as your body will certainly be working hard to get rid of the toxins stored in that added fat that you are now burning off. You should have a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. The guidelines I have seen recommend 9 cups for the average woman and 13 cups for the average man.
Well, there you have it! 4 techniques for fast fat burning that actually work, with no tricks. And notice that I didn't state anything about calorie counting or diet pills. In fact, the reality is, you can lose all the weight you want over time by following a healthy diet and lifestyle as talked about above without depriving yourself or going on a fad diet. Try these strategies today and see just how fast you lose that unneeded weight!
