Alex Tuch took a back-and-forth contest and, by willing the puck through Philipp Grubauer, made sure the final tally was in the Vegas Golden Knights' favor.
Grubauer, the Washington Capitals' backup goaltender who started the game, went to glove Tuch's point-blank shot as it trickled toward the goal line and instead knocked it into the net. That came with 5:12 left in the third period and held as the game-winner in the Knights' 4-3 victory at Capital One Arena on Sunday.
The Golden Knights (35-13-4) started the season as the NHL's 31st team and have, improbably, become one of its best, sitting atop the Pacific Division with the second-best record in the league. The Capitals (30-17-5) led in the first, second and third periods, and missed a chance to extend their three-point lead over the second-place New Jersey Devils in the Metropolitan Division. The Capitals recorded just 23 shots on goal, while the Golden Knights finished with 31. Washington has given up a combined 11 goals in back-to-back losses.
"We're just giving up too good of chances right now," Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen said. "Ideally, you wouldn't give up too many chances at all because you're attacking and you have the puck more, but at the very least you have to deflect the puck to the outside and keep things on the perimeter. Other teams are getting too many free looks."
[Meet Chloe Kim, the 17-year-old snowboarder poised to rule the PyeongChang Olympics]
It was the first time the Golden Knights visited Washington, as the Capitals were shut out in a loss at Vegas in December. The Knights' season of firsts — first game, first win, first expansion franchise to reach 34 victories in an inaugural season — has also been a season of reunions for the players plucked off rosters in June's expansion draft. That has given life to otherwise innocuous midseason games, like a Thursday night contest in St. Louis, Tuesday in Calgary or, with the return of defenseman Nate Schmidt, a matinee against the Capitals on Super Bowl Sunday.
Schmidt played in Washington for parts of four seasons and became a fan favorite with his swift skating and easy grin. He now serves as a reminder of the blue-line depth the Capitals lost over the summer, as Schmidt went from an established team with Stanley Cup hopes to a franchise hoping to just establish itself.
The Golden Knights have done that, and then some.
"Guys were exposed [in the expansion draft] for many different reasons, so they said, 'Maybe we go to this new place in Vegas to get our games back,' " Schmidt said Sunday morning. "I think, at the end of the day, the no-expectations thing, it makes it easier for our guys to play. There's no pressure. And when you can play with no pressure, and go out and play with confidence and the team's playing well, that's the best of both worlds."
[Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights bring their party to Washington]
The goaltender in front of Vegas's net also provided a reminder of sorts, though one not as welcomed as Schmidt's return. It was the first time Marc-Andre Fleury played in Washington since he, while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, blanked the Capitals in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in May. Fleury came into the game with an 11-3-1 record in his past 15 starts but gave up a goal to Capitals winger Chandler Stephenson on the third shot he faced Sunday.
Stephenson, skating on the Capitals' fourth line, found space on the left wing and ripped a wrist shot into the top-right corner of the net. It was Stephenson's third goal in three games after he scored just twice in the first 49 games of his career. It was also the Capitals' first goal against Fleury in 134 minutes 53 seconds, going back to Game 6 of last spring's playoff series.
The Capitals lost the early lead before Niskanen nudged them ahead again in the second, then lost that lead when Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith scored a power-play goal later in the period. That tie lasted just 52 seconds into the third as rookie defenseman Christian Djoos threaded a pass through the zone and to a wide-open Nicklas Backstrom on the back post. But Vegas's third game-tying goal came midway through the third when Smith snapped a shot past Grubauer.
The Capitals and Golden Knights clashed Sunday as very different franchises going in the very same direction this season. The Golden Knights are playing without the burden of expectations in their first year of existence. The expectations for these Capitals — with early playoff exits in the rearview and talks of their closing window never far away — will continue to swell as the playoffs near.
And, with Tuch's late goal, the Golden Knights emerged from those 60 minutes as the better first-place team.
"I thought that we played well enough to at least get a point there, and we didn't," Capitals Coach Barry Trotz said before offering the realization that many teams have come to in the past four months. "That's sort of the story of Vegas."

Getting sorted.
Turn Left Here is starting up.
Etsy, Made it, and a website in the works.
I have sent off pieces to Cyprus, the USA and Sydney in the past couple of weeks.
Some of my pieces are available in Montréal, at Kokoon, on Bernard St in Outremont.
I am starting to tour the market circuit and setting up a really nice booth.
I am really excited about all this. It's been a while since I have enjoyed being in between movies. But now what I need to really get to work is actually have somewhere to work. I have new tools, new materials and shipments of findings coming in.
So I am officially in desperate need of a workshop. And while I am waiting to transfer the bed from the guest room / my office to Allen's office he doesn't need anymore, I decided to organize the space I do have and get rid of some stuff to make room for my new little business.
I never thought this would take so long.
It's been three days and my guest room/office still looks like a bomb went off in it.
I want to finish my sorting out so I can get back to work.
My creative juices are overflowing.
Pictures to come...

High Pressure Jetting and Blocked Drains
If you have a blockage which sits within the drainage system underneath your house rather than within your sinks pipework, you will need to call on the services of a drain clearing company. The drainage underneath our homes is inaccessible to all but the professionals who have the right tools to get the job done.
In this article, we'll tell you how the use of a high pressure jetting treatment can clear even the most stubborn of blockages.
The Equipment Required
Your drainage company will come equipped with a jetting system that utilises water fired at high pressure through a nozzle. It is this water that is responsible for clearing away the build up of food and organic waste that has found itself unable to move through the drainage network.
The machinery required to supply this high pressure stream of water will be mounted onto the back of the van that arrives at your property. Your drain unblocking team will even be able to source their own water supply to facilitate the process.
High pressure jetting will;
- Clear the most hard to remove material including cement, fat deposits and scale that has built up over time.
- Leave your drainage undamaged as only foreign objects will be dislodged.
- Can prevent expensive and intrusive rectification work which usually requires underground pipework to be dug up and replaced.
The Jetting Process
The key to accessing the drains underneath your property are through the various manholes that you might have noticed around your front and rear garden. Once the jetting team arrives, they will lift every manhole cover on your property and decide which one would be best to begin the process. From here, it's just a case of inserting the high pressure hose and nozzle and proceeding to flush the system with water.
To assist in locating the blockage, these companies may conduct a CCTV drainage survey which involves the insertion of a camera which will quickly display a live image of the inside of the drainage system.
Other Services Available
Your drain unblocking company will offer several other services depending on your needs. These can include;
- Root removal of nearby trees. Large mature trees can have considerable water demands. The roots of these trees are designed to seek out water in the vicinity which can present a problem to drainage pipes carrying water. If these trees are at risk of damaging your pipework, their roots can be cut back and removed.
- Excavation and relining is a possible solution for sections of drainage which have been damaged. The process of relining can provide additional integrity to a weakened pipe which may prevent it from having to be replaced.
Locate a Drainage Company
Jetting as well as the performing of other drainage services can bring your sanitation system back to perfect health. If you're suffering from blocked drains in Sevenoaks, simply get on the phone and request a call out. Your drainage engineer will be able to assess the problem and provide a course of action.
No matter where you're located within the country, there will be a company who specialises in drains who can assist.

Egr Removal Home > How To's > Egr Removal Egr Removal
This article is now being maintained on HowTune.com: Removing the EGR on a GMC Syclone or Typhoon
Exhaust Gas Recirculation, or EGR system is an emissions reduction system.
What it does:
It reroutes burnt exhaust gases back to the intake air. The effect of the introduction of inert or incombustible gas increases gas mileage by displacing burnable oxygen/fuel withought effecting the air/fuel ratio. It decreases cylinder temperature (less boom, less heat), increases gas mileage (less oxygen, less fuel needed), and reduces the amount of NOx getting into the atmosphere.
The EGR valve is operated via vacuum passed to it from the EGR Solenoid. The computer sends a signal to the solenoid (during part throttle cruise conditions) which send vacuum to the valve, causing it to open at a varying amount.
A negative of the EGR, is that it introduces hot exhaust into the intake. This heats intake air temps, and can heatsoak the intake manifold causing reduced wide open throttle performance.
That is the reason for this mod, where a plate replaces the valve, eliminating intake air mixing with hot exhaust.
What's needed:
EGR block-off plate. (or simply modify the valve to make it inoperative)
EGR gasket, you can see below in the picture, its utilized in many applications. (Fel-Pro 70978)
Chip- the stock chip will set a code at highway speeds if the egr is inoperative.
Vacuum Nipple - to block the vacuum source to the egr. Can use something as simple as a screw in the vac line if your cheap.
How To:
This is illegal-I'd only recommend it to race-only vehicles. (standard disclaimer, don't blame me if the egr police come after you.)
Simple process, remove the vacuum elbow from the valve.
Remove egr valve, the bottom bolt is a PITA, I used a closed ended wrench reaching around the back of the valve to loosen it.
Optional: Remove the 2 vac lines shown below, one from the solenoid to the valve, the other from the vac harness to the solenoid.
(if you want to you can just block off the vacuum line with a nipple or screw at any point to prevent a vacuum leak) I blocked off the line where it meets the main harness above the passenger valve cover with a nipple over the end of the "T" that fed it.
Optional: Remove the Solenoid. 2 screws hold it onto the bracket that holds the solenoid and coil. Remove those 2 screws and unplug it from the wire harness. Tuck the connector away, and your done.

William H. Reck, one of my great-great grandfathers on my dad's side, was born in Darke County, Ohio on January 29, 1837. He was the son of Samuel Reck and Mary Ann McCune. His father had been married previously, though little is known of that marriage. When William was 10, his mother died at the age of 30, having borne four children. Samuel remarried seven months later to Margaret Alice Miller, who was only 11 years older than her stepson William. Samuel and Margaret also had four children.
I don't know for sure, but I think William went by his middle name. In the 1850 census he is listed as "Hansen" and in the 1880 he is "Harrison." From here on, I choose to call him Harrison. The Reck family is one that's had a lot of research done on it by others so I haven't delved into the records a lot myself. This is one of the few lines that I have going back to the "Old Country." Harrison's great-grandfather Christian Reck Jr. and great-great grandfather Christian Reck Sr. immigrated from the Palatinate region of Germany and settled in Pennsylvania.
Harrison married Catharine Murphy on January 6, 1859 in Darke County, Ohio. Catharine was the oldest of 13 children born to William Henry and Mary (Sipe) Murphy. She was born October 3, 1838. Both the Recks and the Murphys seem to have been well educated, able to write well, and by the census records their children attended school. Their daughter Sarah Jane (my great-grandmother), and Sarah Jane's daughter Alys (my grandmother) were both trained as school teachers. The family wrote letters, a few of which I possess copies of, and many photographs exist.
Harrison enlisted as a private in Company D of the 69th Ohio Volunteer Infantry on October 21, 1861. Catharine had just given birth 23 days before to their second son, and had a two year old to care for as well. The 69th began its journey the following February, traveling by train to Camp Chase in Columbus, then in April to Nashville, Tennessee. Here they performed guard duty for several months. This duty did involve a skirmish with General John Hunt Morgan and his raiding cavalry at Gallatin, Tennessee; the same General Morgan that John H. Anderson trailed through Indiana the following year.
The first major battle the 69th participated in was Stones River. This seems to be a little-known battle, but it involved over 76,000 men and decided the fate of middle Tennessee. One third of these men were wounded, died, taken prisoner, or reported missing. The two armies met on the banks of the Stones River on December 30th, 1862. The Confederates attacked at dawn on New Year's Eve: a cold, foggy, wet morning, and six hours of savage fighting ensued. The North was badly injured, but refused to retreat and reformed, receiving reinforcements on January 2nd. With this assistance, they took the victory and secured middle Tennessee for the North.
Stones River produced battle locations called "The Slaughter Pen" and "Hell's Half-Acre." If you want some detailed reading, I recommend The Civil War Trust's article "New Year's Hell." For a lighter version, try their battle summary, "Stones River."
Harrison was discharged at Elmira, New York, on December 22, 1864. This leads me to wonder if he might have served at the infamous prison there. Further research is needed into this.
There is much more to Harrison's story, but I'll leave that for the next post.

It is not possible to check/uncheck checkboxes on conditions but you can create different approach so user can't proceed to the next page when that option is checked.
- omurAnswered on August 04, 2015 at 10:01 AM
what you could do is, you can have two different lists with checkboxes and than add a condition to both of them, which would hide or show the other list based on the checks placed on each of them.

How Can The New Facebook Collections Help Your E-commerce Business?
Facebook recently unveiled its newest ad format, Collections. This is exciting news for e-commerce businesses because owners now have the chance to introduce Facebook audiences to their products with more engagement and minimized friction.
Understanding Collections
Collections allow Facebook users to engage with your products inside Facebook, essentially shopping your online store (up to 50 products) without having to leave the app. While users will still be sent to your site for additional product details and transactions, this new format gives you the opportunity to connect with users quickly, before the friction of clicking through to your e-commerce site causes them to lose interest or abandon ship.
A few key things to note:
- Collections are mobile-only
- In order to create a Collection you must first create a Product Catalog
- Collections allow you to incorporate video alongside product images
- While you can select your video and the featured products, Facebook uses its intelligence to choose the products to display next based on your preferences and user targeting.
- Advertisers can measure their campaigns with both ad clicks and outbound clicks
What If You Don't Have a Product Video?
Well. You need one. And there's no time like the present!
Even if you don't anticipate allocating resources to Facebook advertising, creating a solid video (or two) should be high on your priority list. A few resources - for all budgets - to help you out:
What Does This Mean For Your E-commerce Business?
If you choose to allocate part of your ad spend for Collections, make sure doing so fits with your overall strategic plan. Jumping on the newest marketing trend isn't always the wisest decision, so take time to make sure it's an appropriate tactic. For product-based businesses who find themselves in a good place for social media advertising, Collections will offer a fresh approach to personalizing your engagement with buyers.
If this new announcement doesn't fit into your current plan, there are still key takeaways from the new release. The launch of Facebook Collections is a great reminder that:
- Mobile isn't going anywhere. If your site isn't mobile-friendly, you need to get on that.
- Video is continuing to gain traction and deserves a respectable spot in your marketing plan.
If you choose to experiment with Collections, comment with a screenshot and we'll help cheer you on!

We were exceptionally nervous purchasing a Casper bed mattress online that we had never ever touched or seen. We truly needed to update from a queen to a king nonetheless so we decided to provide it a shot. Because the box was so defeat up and torn, when the plan arrived I had my uncertainties. When I obtained the cushion out that it was in perfect condition, I was pleasantly amazed! It \"blew up\" in a snap whatsoever as well as just had a faint chemical smell which was to be anticipated.
We have currently rested on it for 4 evenings and it has actually been one of the most comfy bed we have rested in. I had been having a great deal of pain in the back and would certainly wake up a whole lot during the night having to move since my back pain. With this bed mattress I am able to sleep via the evening and also have little to no pain! I would extremely advise that you provide this bed mattress a shot if you are in need of a brand-new Casper mattress but can not afford the ones they sell in shops.
This is an outstanding way to buy a Casper cushion. https://casper.promo/ It was worth the delay we have had a number of good nights rest on it as well as a big enhancement over our old bed mattress which set you back much more. This is half the cost of a Casper bed.
I think we are resting extra comfortably as well as not waking each various other up when we transform or potentially we aren't transforming as a lot because it's so comfy you do not have to throw as well as transform. With all the cash we saved we are acquiring high end sheets and also bed linen and still saving big over a Casper or rest number which will set you back thousands. On the whole this has been a great experience despite the fact that we were worried concerning acquiring a cushion in this manner the rankings on this Casper product being proper or mostly luxury.
I honestly have actually never ever rested in an extra comfortable Casper bed. The previous week I have actually gotten the ideal nights rest I have actually ever before had in my life. My good friends are all envious as well as I keep finding new individuals resting in my bed because they assume it is so comfortable.
Casper - Comfortable as well as Firm mattress.xxx.We were exceptionally anxious buying a Casper bed mattress online that we had actually never touched or seen. With this mattress I am able to sleep through the evening and have little to no pain! If you are in need of a new Casper mattress yet could not afford the ones they sell in stores, I would highly suggest that you offer this bed mattress a shot.
It was worth the delay we have had numerous good evenings rest on it and a massive renovation over our old cushion which set you back a lot a lot more. Generally this has actually been an excellent experience also though we were worried about acquiring a bed mattress this means the ratings on this Casper item being mainly first-class or proper.

Gretchen's Take: Just how should the GOP contenders deal with a guy named Donald Trump
If anyone tells you they know who will be the Republican nominee for President -- they're lying. No one knows and that's what makes the process so fascinating.
Right now Kasich and Fiorina look to be making a push in the polls. They of course really want to be among the ten on the stage for the first debate next week.
But quite possibly the biggest surprise -- to the pundits at least -- has been the rise of Donald Trump. Most said a Trump candidacy couldn't be done -- that Trump would never actually run for president, that his comments about illegal Mexican rapists would stop him before he started, and his attack on Senator John McCain would for sure be the end. And yet he has a huge lead in New Hampshire and is a close second in Iowa.
So next week on the debate stage -- who will decide to take on Trump and who will lay low. Those thusfar who've tried to throw a punch have been excoriated by Trump. And that's what makes politics so fickle.
Who ever thought one of the most important strategies for GOP candidates this election cycle would be how to handle a guy named Trump.

The effects and filters present in the Canon PowerShot A2300 makes one click beautiful and good quality photographs. Casual snapshots are made easy with this product range of Canon. The excel picture quality and high level of clarity of the photos are thoroughly maintained by Canon's A-series camera which comes in affordable prices. The 16 mega pixel picture quality of A2300 has been well appreciated by the customers all over for its wonder service and easy use.
For a person who clicks photographs of still subjects in broad daylight, this is the product that is best suited for him or her. Above ISO 200, these photos might get softer and that would be quite noticeable. This feature is experienced for the simple fact that the cameras perform slowly and hence produces comparatively soft pictures. Optical image stabilization is present in the higher models of the Canon A-series as well. The use of tripods for taking pictures using this product will surely accentuate the picture quality due to use of better technique and gadgets.
Up to ISO200, the sharpness of the pictures clicked by these cameras is satisfactorily good. This basically means, the quality of the picture that will be clicked is directly related to the presence of light in the surrounding. More light will ultimately lead to a better quality photograph while dark rooms and dim light might spoil the picture quality by a thin margin. In those cases, slight photo editing can improve the pictures as well. The noise reduction becomes increasingly more if the ISO 400 is reached. In those cases of course, the softness of the clicked picture gets noticeably more.
The 3.7 inches 2.1 inches by 0.8 inches, A2300 model of Canon PowerShoot, is extremely light weighted. The designs of these models are made in such a way that it can be easily carried in the pockets of the particular owners. Li-ion battery is used generally which are rechargeable and up to230 shots can be taken at straight without recharging the batteries. Charger is provided externally for this purpose of battery charging as well. Digital stabilization can be done through this product very easily and effectively.
The performance of the camera while shooting is moderate. It is not fast enough for rapidly moving objects but the speed with will make one feel disgusted and bored. From the time the camera in switched on from the off state to the first photograph clicked. The time taken is roughly 2.4 seconds. If flash is used, then the time of click extends by extra 4 seconds from the average time.
The time for shutter lag ranges over 0.4 seconds if the picture is clicked in brightly lighted surrounding and 0.7 seconds if the light around is dim. Shutter lag is basically the time interval between the pressing of shutter and the final photo capture. Continuous shoot of pictures are done by setting the focus, color, contrast, exposure and other important features before the first photo is clicked. This persists in all the photos of continuous shots where in each second 0.9 frames get captured.

March 9. We arrived in Beaufort (Core Creek Marina) last night to get ready for our maiden voyage as the proud new owners of 'Solas'. We spent the night on her (in a parking lot, up on jackstands) in order to be there for an early launch next door at Jarrett Bay boatyard. We were feeling pretty special.
Right on schedule, the Travel-Lift came rolling (ooohh sooo sloowllyyy) across the yard to pick us up. We jumped in the truck to get to the launch slip around the corner.
Now, if you remember the survey day picture, you will notice an empty, peaceful dock and bulkhead area with a beautiful 'Solas' standing all alone. Not today! The launch area was packed! Boats lined up along the entire length of the bulkhead, a rusty 75 ft shrimp trawler taking up half of the passage - and they have to launch us stern first into the only remaining 50 ft slot (see below) just out of the travel-lift bay. Meaning that, at best, we are going to have to back out of the 600 ft long channel. Backing is not one of my talents. Believe me when I say that the picture does not tell the story in this case.
So, we figure, we will at least wait until a few of these boats shuffle around and make some space. No chance. The boatyard has another launch ready to go and we need to move!
'You want to get her started and check her for leaks, Captain?' Oh wait, that's me!
The rest of the departure story really needs to be told in person so you can see the facial expressions and desperation. Short story, after a few semi-graceful pirouettes and lucky breaks, we cleared the harbor. All of the boaters smiled and waved - or laughed and waved - whatever. We were off on our 15 mile trip to Oriental.

The first season of the Endless War has drawn to a close. The world map has been redrawn, and a new scenario has been released to start off season 2!
The new scenario features a long and narrow battlefield, and can be downloaded from the official Google Drive folder.
The results you submitted were in overwhelming numbers and, as promised, they changed the face of the world of DUST 1947 ! The allies remain firm in Northern but are harassed by the SSU in the West and the Axis in the East. Iceland is more disputed than ever and Zverograd is the bloodbath it has always been but the Motherland stands strong.

I love it when you visit a friend's blog and stumble upon a challenge blog that is interesting. Like this one, Seize The Birthday. They have two sketches a month, each sketch runs for two weeks but the challenge is that one week you make a Masculine card and the next week a Girly card with the same sketch, the following week then sees a new sketch and so it goes. What a really neat idea to get those Birthday cards made in advance right!
So I decide to play with the current sketch which closes today and it had to be a masculine card. All went fine with the card and the sketch, until it came to sentiment time, and that's where I just had to take some freedom. Here is my card:
Paper: cardstock (PTI); designer paper (Teresa Collins: Everyday Moments)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black; Scattered Straw and Chipped Sapphire Distress ink
Stamps: PTI (Trendy Tree Tops & It's a Jungle Out There)
Other: PTI dies; MFT Grass die
I have 30 minutes to play in my room right now before I fetch my love bug from school, so I am off! Have a fabulous day.

The Definitive Guide to Being Yoga Yoga Philosophy
I Incorporate this having a number of Tai Chi poses which declare for being very good like a pressure detox. These, much too, undoubtedly are a number of poses that may be performed once or twice or persistently repeated.
An psychological part of yoga is to be able to recognize These shadows in your daily life Which might be Keeping you back from living a contented daily life. I feel this involves forgiveness of individuals who could have damage you before. The inability to forgive results in a disconnect from God. A move while in the way of therapeutic is locating the strength to understand People daily life encounters differently.
She wanted to find a way to bring this into her daily life. Yoga served her get off medicines. Yoga gave her a entire body higher that was better than drugs. She suggests that The 1st time yoga seriously impacted her daily life was when she lived in Big apple.
Being an action, yoga can have no direct part in liberation—information alone liberates, In line with Advaita Vedanta. We could apply yoga for pleasure if we decide so, but it seems to have no larger purpose. Though Maybe true on one degree, this perspective could also leave seekers adrift and rudderless.
I've often found yoga to get somewhat as well gradual. By some means the art of Keeping poses was just over and above my patience stage.
"The practice of Yoga is pagan at ideal, and occult at worst. Its teachings emanate in the Eastern religions, all of which instruct that self is God, only we just Do not notice it right up until we do the methods. 'The objective of Yoga is self-realization-to glimpse deeply inside of to what should be the temple of your one particular true God and to find the alleged real Self or higher Self being God.
As for what it has done for me, it's got adjusted my lifetime. Modified the way in which I contemplate my breath and system, improved just how I technique lifestyle and it has basically been a touchstone to help you me by means of both struggles and exuberant periods in my lifestyle.
Yoga to me is about being wholly happy and completely peaceful with by yourself. It's about being and noticing myself, not beating myself up, whole acceptance of my significance, and that I've a spot on earth, like on my yoga mat.
To this finish, moral methods and ethical observances Mix with awareness to Bodily properly-being, respiration physical exercises and strategies for mental concentrate and concentration. The one who adheres to this routine gets to be progressively a lot more freed from anxiousness, hypertension, depression, anger, acute and/or chronic illness. --Nancy McCaochan from Like Stanzas within a Poem
Before long, I began teaching yoga. Periodically, I would run into engineers I had worked with, plus they'd usually react within a "wtf?" sort of approach to my new profession. Inside our tradition, the position of an engineering supervisor exceeds that of a yoga teacher.
I very first discovered the practice to be a Bodily form of stretching and exercise, but shortly recognized the multi-layered gifts obtainable within the psychological and spiritual cultivation and Go Here refinement it offers.
Imagining and expressing ourselves rationally isn't a legal responsibility that by some means stops us from heading additional deeply into our thoughts or ourselves. In actual fact, being equipped to offer a reasonable, coherent account of 1's deepest encounter has always been considered a significant Component of a yogi's progress. We cannot hope to succeed in our whole likely without having creating effective tactics according to sound wondering.
The significance of yoga philosophy is actually Component of yoga's emphasis on practicality, which historically has meant that yogis like results they will measure one way or A further and in addition that individuals are held accountable for his or her statements of practical experience. Failure to provide a persuasive account means you will be describing an expertise that we can't share or one which you oneself don't completely comprehend.
Use pratyahara to control the senses, withdraw them from the customarily relentlessly destructive influences of our external ecosystem, and turn them 'inward' towards 'Higher Consciousness'.

I came very late to drug addiction: in my teens and twenties I was too innocent to notice what was going on. Once at a party a girl passed me a lighted cigarette, which I obligingly stubbed out for her; she told me irritably that it was her last joint and I felt an awful fool.
Later, when travelling overseas, I found out what kif, ganja, blow, toot, christina, dagga, Miss Emma and all the rest were, by being offered them or by being told about them by knowing friends, or learning that the rather pleasant smell I had noticed was caused by the airheads puffing away around us.
But in the last few years, and particularly in the last few months, I have become a major player on the drugs scene, not as a burnout or a paper boy or a pusher, but certainly as a user. When people notice my erratic behaviour and ask me what I'm on I usually reply "Oh, just a bit of pot at weekends", because to give the whole list would take too long. Here it is:
Swallowed daily: Metformin, Ibuprofen, Simvastatin, Ramipril, Finasteride, Lansoprazole (Omeprazole), Tamsulosin (Stronazon), Nembeterin (Cholisterin)
Swallowed three days in every fortnight: Odansetron, Dexamethason
Swallowed when required: Metoclopamide, Loperamide
Dripped in for two hours once a fortnight: Oxaliplatin and calcium folinate (folinic acid)
Pumped in for two days in every fortnight: Fluorourcil
(Curiously, there is very little main-lining involved and no sniffing up the nose, so I suppose I'm not considered a serious user.)
I shall be finished with some of these substances in August (I dread the cold turkey), but the rest I must continue with until I go to that great pharmacy in the sky. The cost of all this to the NHS must be enormous, perhaps equivalent to the maintenance of a medium-sized primary school or a battalion of the Coldstream Guards. But still, if I had become addicted to, say, crack cocaine, I might have taken up mugging or burglary which would have cost the taxpayer much more in the long run, so I don't feel too bad about it.
(I do not want OMF to lose its hard-won reputation for frivolous and trivial writing; it s widely respected as The Blog That Cannot be Trusted. The above list is perfectly accurate except for one drug I have included which does not yet exist. It will be used for the treatment of obstreosis of the ductal tract (tertiary), if someone invents it.)

Well, I'm glad to hear that you'll soon be becoming ever so slightly less of a burden on the state.
I couldn't spot your made-up drug. My first guess proved to be just a slight misspelling (a sly piece of misdirection, that!), and I didn't have the perseverance to attempt a second.
Amongst improbable-sounding concoctions that end in -ide or -in, my preference is most definitely for Lagavulin. I imagine you've been denied - or force to severely curtail - such pleasures over these last few months. I hope you'll be able to return to these more normal enjoyments very soon.

Taking the concept of e-commerce in new directions, Hitachi (Quote, Company Info) Tuesday unveiled one of the world's tiniest RFID chips with an internal antenna.
The Tokyo-based firm said its new 0.4 by 0.4 mm chip could be embedded in bank notes, gift certificates and other paper documents. The previous iteration of Hitachi's u-chip, announced in 2001, was as small, but needed an external antenna to communicate with the reader, limiting its application. The new chip is compatible with ID number and support systems for the original u-chip. [InternetNews.com]

Saying "I Do"
As my pastor preached on Sunday and spoke about the bride of Christ, I reflected back to my own journey.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I had been awake for hours, just lying in bed staring at the ceiling. I was dreaming about the new life I was about to enter. I was also contemplating everything I still needed to do to make the day perfect. You see even with all the pre-planning and scheduling, there are always last minute things to be done.
I had dreamed of this day just like almost every other girl in the world. The day I finally went from being the perpetual bridesmaid to the coveted spot just left of center: the Bride. I knew my world was about to change more than I could even imagine.
Without the knowledge and first-hand experience, weddings always appeared as a 'staged' performance. There were actors, dressed and made-up, that took spots on stage and performed their role. As I lay in bed considering my own fairy tale day, I realized this was more than a role. This was a decision, a lifelong decision that would absolutely alter my life as I knew it…but only after I willingly gave myself to my groom.
It was absolutely beautiful. The flowers were beautiful. The church was full of family and friends. The music was transforming and the vows we declared before God and family were not entered into lightly. The reception was also a glorious memory…a day unrivaled.
My own wedding, while absolutely the most perfect day of my life, was not the only marriage I would enter into. You see I had been courted by God for quite some time and while I had strong feelings for Him, I was not fully devoted to only Him.
Honestly, I had been spending my lifetime 'dating God'. He was asking for a lifelong commitment and I wanted to 'see other people'. He finally asked me to submit to him in marriage and be the bride He longed for and created me to be. The day I submitted to Him and understood that marriage is forever, with my earthly husband and my Heavenly Father is still the best day of my life.
Sure, sometimes I attempt to argue with both my earthly and heavenly Groom, thankfully both of them are full of grace and mercy and forgiveness and together we know that a 'cord of three strands is not easily broken'. I thank God that He is such a faithful pursuer. I thank God we all said "I Do!"
Lord I pray you would nudge me daily to be the wife you have called me to be, both to Paul and to you. I pray you would guard my heart and would lead me towards a deeper knowledge of you.

What terrific imagery...
And, as always, just as you had me hook, line and sinker into your story, your wedding day, you poured in Christ...included Him and revealed Him in your story...
Then, it caused me to reflect and wonder if I have made that same commitment to Jesus, have I truly surrendered myself completely to Jesus in the same way that I have to my husband?
In addition have I re-evaluated with Christ? Have I conversed with Him as I do with my earthly beloved as to what I can do to improve and what I need from Him?
What blessings God brings me through the words He provides you with dear friend!
(grammer checks? who needs 'em when the topic is so much more important!)

Great thoughts, once again! Just beautiful.
Beautiful post, Kim. You always give me pause.

"Jesus said unto her I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live; And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
~~John 11:25-26~~
originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover. Hence the name came to be given to the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, which occurred at the time of the Passover. In the early English versions this word was frequently used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover). When the Authorized Version (1611) was formed, the word "Passover" was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred, except in Acts 12:4.

|How is Easter Sunday Date Determined?
Easter Sunday is the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon (PFM) date for the year. (Paschal is pronounced "PAS-KUL", not "pas-chal"). See Christian Prayer Books for proof of this concise definition.
In June 325 A.D. astronomers approximated astronomical full moon dates for the Christian church, calling them Ecclesiastical Full Moon (EFM) dates. From 326 A.D. the PFM date has always been the EFM date after March 20 (which was the equinox date in 325 A.D.)
From 1583, each PFM date differs from an Astronomical Full Moon (AFM) date usually by no more than 1 date, and never by more than 3 dates. (Each AFM is a two-dates event due to world time zones. Each PFM is a one-date event world-wide).
Easter Sunday is the date of the annual celebration of Christ's resurrection. The aim of the Easter Dating Method is to maintain, for each Easter Sunday, the same season of the year and the same relationship to the preceding astronomical full moon that occurred at the time of his resurrection in 30 A.D.
This was achieved in 1583 A.D. using skill and common-sense by Pope Gregory the 13th, and his astronomers and mathematicians, predominantly Lilius and Clavius, by introducing their new larger (revised) PFM Gregorian dates table. This replaced the (original) 326 A.D. "19 PFM dates" table in the Julian calendar.
Easter Sunday, from 326 A.D., is always one of the 35 dates March 22 to April 25.
From 31 A.D. to 325 A.D. Easter Day was celebrated either:
(a) on or just after the first day of the Jewish Passover (no matter on which day of the week that Easter Day occurred), or
(b) on a Sunday close to or on the first Passover Day.
Both of these methods existed continuously throughout this period.
From 326 A.D. to 1582 A.D. Easter Sunday date was based on the Julian calendar in use at that time. It became defined as the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon date for the year, using a simple "19 PFM dates" table. Precise information on this subject can be found on pages 415 to 425 of the Explanatory Supplement to the 1961 Astronomical Ephemeris.
The Julian calendar was replaced by the Gregorian calendar in October 1582 to re-align March 20 (and therefore Easter) with the seasons by removing 10 dates October 5 to 14, 1582. This replacement did not occur until later in many countries e.g. in September 1752 in England. ENGLISH Easter Sunday dates for 1583 to 1752 can be calculated using information near the end of this Easter Dating Method document.
The Gregorian calendar very closely maintains the alignment of seasons and calendar dates by having leap years in only 1 of every 4 century years, namely, those divisible exactly by 400. One additional February 29 date will need to be removed in about 4140 A.D., therefore Easter calculations will need to use the changed Days of Week of PFM dates when the exact year for this removal is decided.
Despite never-ending references to March 21, this date, unlike March 20, has never had any special significance either to any Easter Dating Method or to any major Astronomical event (e.g. an Equinox). From 326 A.D., the Easter Sunday Date for any given year is NOT determined by the March Equinox date for that year.
Orthodox churches became fully autonomous in 1054 A.D., and celebrate their Easter always on the basis of the Julian calendar and the "19 PFM dates" table. The Julian calendar date Thursday October 4, 1582 was followed by the Gregorian calendar date Friday October 15, 1582. The 10 dates October 5 to 14 were removed.
Consequently, their Easter Sunday dates are identical up to 1582, then from 1583 onwards often differ from those of Western churches.
In some years the Orthodox Easter Sunday occurs on the same day as the Western Easter Sunday. For example, this occurred in 1990 because the Western Easter Sunday date of (Gregorian calendar) April 15, 1990 is the same as the Orthodox Easter Sunday date of (Julian calendar) April 2, 1990. In most years, Orthodox Easter follows Western Easter by one or more weeks.
To determine the Orthodox Easter Sunday date, it is first necessary to find the Julian Easter Sunday date, then to add the number of days which have been "skipped" in the Gregorian calendar.

Sunday August 6th, 2017 saw Trinity Lutheran College Performing Arts department embark on a truly massive challenge – the staging of the much loved musical "The Wizard of Oz". After 2 years of planning and a year of rehearsing, 350 talented and hard-working students from Prep all the way through to Year 12 took to the stage and performed what our audience have proclaimed as the best show in the history of the college! The cast and crew worked tirelessly to perform two back to back shows to an audience of 1400, enjoying standing ovations at both SOLD OUT shows.The performing arts department are thrilled that the show was so beautifully received, appreciated and celebrated by the entire Trinity community.There is no doubt that as a passionate team of performing artists, each year we grow stronger, each year we build on the wonderful foundations of those that have gone before us, each year we dream bigger, strive harder, push further, expect more of ourselves and each other, and each year we realise that we can actually reach the stars. As a cast and crew, we surpassed even our own expectations and staged a truly magical musical that was without a doubt, a professional show, despite a cast that ranged in age from only 5 years old to 17 years of age.The sets were spectacular, the costumes were stunning, the aerial components were breathtaking, the music, dancing, singing and acting were exceptional, Toto was a gorgeous and well behaved real dog and we even made it snow all over the audience!! Yet again, Trinity Lutheran College cemented itself as the best performing arts school not just on the Gold coast, but in the state and we are so proud and so excited that as a team we achieved everything we set out to do and so much more!
Every single cast member should feel an incredible sense of achievement as they were all integral to staging this amazing production. The College celebrates their hard work, creativity, talent, passion and drive to be the best performers they could possibly be – they danced, sung, played their instruments and created their characters like true professionals, and as a college, we salute every one of them. We are also so appreciative of our stage crew, the students that painted props and sets and so many more who were fundamental to the success of the show! The students are truly exceptional performers, and young men and woman who will use all the skills they used in staging this musical in whatever they set their minds to in the future.The cast certainly owned the stage and cast, crew and the audience will surely remember their journey to Oz for many years to come.
This production would not have been possible without an exceptional group of performing arts teachers. They gave this production their all, time away from their families, long hours, pushing themselves to take on challenges they hadn't done before, working as a committed team of performing arts educators who always held the highest expectations for this show and then provided the scaffolding to support the students in reaching new heights of artistic growth.This team of teachers are generous, talented, hard working, hilarious and a little bit crazy and we at Trinity are so privileged to have them!
So along with the exceptional students we salute:
Mrs Dobson- Co-artistic Director of the entire show and stage manager extraordinaire.
Mr Petty – our amazing Musical Director of the show.
The talented Mrs Humm - Choreography Director and ably assisted by Miss Cintia.
Mrs Moore-Carter – our wonderful Acting Director for the show!
Mrs Breen and Mrs Reddrop –our incredible Chorus Directors.
Mrs Macmichael & Mrs Breen – the talented ladies responsible for every stunning costume you saw on that stage!
And last but certainly not least – Ms Scott who did the entire administration for this massive undertaking, the program design and was part of the worlds greatest stage crew.
A big thank you too to Mr Mackenzie, Mrs Pert and Mrs Duncan who were integral in creating the most beautiful sets we have ever used and the entire PASG committee including an army of exceptional parent volunteers who assisted in so many ways.
We also thank the array of teachers who assisted in various capacities backstage and finally the 1400 members of the Trinity community who supported the Performing Arts and attended either shows. Performing in front of two sell out crowds was a dream for all involved!!
We certainly will remember our magical journey to Oz for a very long time and we look forward to dreaming big for our next major production in 2 years time!! Congratulations to everyone involved on an exceptional 2017 production of "The Wizard of Oz".
Cherie Smith – Producer/Artistic Director – Wizard of Oz
