Drew Pearson, Larry Allen and Charles Haley will be inducted into the Dallas Cowboys' Ring of Honor, owner Jerry Jones said Friday afternoon.
The trio will be inducted on Nov. 6 when the Cowboys host Seattle.
The Ring of Honor will now have 18 players in it, plus Tom Landry and Tex Schramm. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is the sole decision-maker and hadn't added anyone since Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin went in during the 2005 season.
Pearson is the originally No. 88 and is part of more memorable plays in Cowboys history than even Michael Irvin. Pearson is a big part of the lore of America's team going back to the Hail Mary catch in the wildcard victory over the Vikings in 1975.

He signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent and caught 489 passes with 50 touchdowns. A three-time Pro Bowler, he was selected for the NFL All-Decade Team of the '70s.
Allen, a six-time All-Pro and 11-time Pro Bowler in his 14-year NFL career, is eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2013.
Haley, a defensive end, is the only player in NFL history to own five Super Bowl rings. He won two with the San Francisco 49ers before coming to Dallas in 1992 as, according to team owner Jerry Jones, the final piece of the Cowboys' Super Bowl puzzle.

I had hoped to post again later last week, but kept coming home each evening tired from work. Mind you, I didn't get much done until my days off anyway. My thread from DS9Designs arrived early this week so I can soon resume work on my tie. I have been working on my Windmills doily. I am two motifs away from finishing the round.
I mentioned that I did a little bit of crocheting. Here is what I made:
This is the second pair of slippers that I made. I wasn't happy with the first pair; they were much too big. As I made the above pair, I adjusted the size of them. Since I used a wool yarn, I also felted this pair in the washing machine to shrink them enough for a nice fit. The pattern is called "Paw Warmers" from The Crochet Dude's book Designs for Guys. I like the pattern even though the slippers take longer to make than my other slipper pattern. I do plan on making anther pair soon.
Here's a collage of the bracelets that I have made over the last few weeks.
The top left bracelet is Box Chain, the same weave as the chain/necklace that I wear. The top right bracelet is called X-Lock Byzantine. It's actually byzantine just with dramatically different sized rings than usual, which makes it flat. The bottom left bracelet is made using the Full Persian weave in titanium. I think I've already showed you the Spiral Chain bracelet. The black and silver chain on the bottom right is called Helm's Chain. I made that one around the time I made Dragonscale since they used the same size rings. This one is actually going to be the base of a necklace that I am working on . I'll show you more when it's done. I also made a pair of earrings to match the X-Lock Byzantine bracelet and refined the ring size used for the Beaded Byzantine earrings.
While I'm still on the topic of chainmaille, I have been seriously considering buying the rings and beginning work on a chainmaille shirt. Since my sales have been slow for the past few months, this may be a good time to begin this large project. I did some playing around with some rings in the gauge that seems to be common for the shirts and feel confident I can do this. I'll let you know if/when I go ahead with this. I will have to wait at least two weeks until my next payday before I can buy the rings. Unless I get lots of sales in the next few weeks.
I will leave you tonight with a few more orchid photos. These were both purchased over a month ago.
These are both Phalaenopsis NOIDs. I love the bottom one in particular; it is similar to one I already own. That's actually why I bought it. While most orchids are seen as difficult to grow, Moth orchids, or Phals, are actually pretty easy to grow. A bright window where it can get several hours bright light-they don't like full sun, though a little is fine. Most of mine are under fluorescent lights. Water them every 10 to 14 days or so. Most orchids do require a special bark based soil to thrive in, and Phals do grow best in it. Some diluted fertilizer once in a while will benefit the plant too. That's about it.
That's it for now. Once I'm finished the third round of my Windmills doily I'll get a photo of it posted. Till next time.

What I did While On My Break

Hi Jeff,ReplyDelete
Lovely slippers, well done
Your orichids are lovely, and your instructions for looking after them are spot on.
I just keep drooling over your chainmaille jewelry. I wonder if a brooch would work with those magnets Jane Eborall is using on her new ones. Maybe not -- yours are aluminum, aren't they? Either way, I think I shall go shopping at Redeye after I come back from my vacation at the end of April (then I'll know how much money I have left!).ReplyDelete
A chainmaille shirt sounds like fun! - Knights of old, jousting on horseback, all young Lochinvar-ish!ReplyDelete
I like your slippers, it can be difficult to make garments in crochet because gauge is much more difficult to control than it is when you knit.

Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects, including microcephaly and brain abnormalities. Population-based birth defects surveillance systems are critical to monitor all infants and fetuses with birth defects potentially related to Zika virus infection, regardless of known exposure or laboratory evidence of Zika virus infection during pregnancy. CDC analyzed data from 15 U.S. jurisdictions conducting population-based surveillance for birth defects potentially related to Zika virus infection.
The report, published on
January 26, 2018 in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), provides the first comprehensive data on the prevalence of birth defects (3.0 per 1,000 live births) potentially related to Zika virus infection in a birth cohort of nearly 1 million births in 2016. A significant increase in birth defects strongly related to Zika virus during the second half of 2016 compared with the first half was observed in jurisdictions with local Zika virus transmission. Only a small percentage of birth defects potentially related to Zika had laboratory evidence of Zika virus infection, and most were not tested for Zika virus.
The U.S. Zika Pregnancy and Infant Registry monitors women with laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus infection during pregnancy and their congenitally exposed infants, population-based birth defects surveillance systems make a unique contribution by identifying and monitoring all cases of these birth defects regardless of exposure or laboratory testing or results. Continued surveillance for birth defects potentially related to Zika virus infection is important because most pregnancies affected by Zika virus ended in 2017. These data will help communities plan for needed resources to care for affected patients and families and can serve as a foundation for linking and evaluating health and developmental outcomes of affected children.

Retro Style as I remember it was way back in the 1970's or 80's, something like that time.
I also saw some of my mom's outfit way back and it is really like what's on the trends today. So I can also say that my inspiration in trying Retro style is also my mother❤
Just like this pictures that I saw in the google©
The basic high waisted jeans, or mom's jeans then to be paired with anything top, it can be a simple shirt, bodysuit, sweatshirts(if you are in a cold country) then put some belt on it and it will look like that and it will feel like you were in that era also.
Also you can add other accessories like the earings anything that is also used way back then.
So here's how I do it the modern way⤵⤵⤵
Then I edit my picture using the RNI Films, giving it a vintage look. ⤵

The new southbound lanes of U.S. 93 are now open to traffic, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The final work on the $26 million project, including landscaping and permanent lane striping, is expected to be completed by early July. Minimal traffic impacts are expected.
ADOT has dedicated nearly half a billion dollars to widening and improving U.S. 93 from Wickenburg to the Hoover Dam since the 1990s. Now, nearly 80 percent of the stretch from Wickenburg to the Hoover Dam is a four-lane divided highway.
ADOT is presently working on the roadway between Wikieup and I-40. Two more projects are funded for the next five years, which will leave one more three-mile segment to be completed.

Paleo Humus
Making a great party dip with a veggie.
Corn Free
Dairy Free
Gluten Free
Soy Free
Sugar Free
Don't get me wrong a I love a good humus made with garbanzo beans/chickpeas, but sometimes beans just aren't the easiest to digest for some people, like myself. So I was super excited about figuring out a humus to use when I didn't feel like shifting my digestive track into hyper drive. Plus, it's a fun way to add some cauliflower into your diet!
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped (6-7 cups)
- 4-6 tablespoons tahini or nut butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Juice of half a lemon
- Sea salt/pepper to taste
- Additional spices to taste (optional): cayenne, paprika, cumin, etc.
- Steam cauliflower on stovetop 10-15 minutes or until tender
- Combine all ingredients in food processor until it reaches desired consistency
- Chill in fridge for an hour before serving

1994 will start with an exciting program being offered by Dr. Leroy Perry (MPI's Clinical Excellence Seminar in Hawaii, Feb. 27 - March 5th). The balance of 1994 will see more coupled motion, motion palpation tests, and coupled motion subluxation adjusting.
During the 1993 programs, MPI faculty were able to identify areas of educational shortcomings. I would like to share these with you:
1) Knowledge of anatomy
a) muscles and their function2) Knowledge of neurology
b) joints and where they actually are
c) relationship of muscles and joints (arthrokinesic reflex)
a) dorsal horn3) Anatomical landmarks
b) pain referral patterns
c) course and distribution of the sinuvertebral nerve
4) Spinal function in all seven ranges-of-motion was not understood by many doctors
Before listing the student areas, I would hope that those doctors reading this will not take this as a personal affront, but as an opportunity to read and study those areas that apply.
This was very difficult to do as students from all years attended the seminars, so a division was made: those in clinic, and those not.
1) Students in clinic:
a) Remember that not all your patients will get better in six treatments.2) Students not in clinic:
b) Believe in the hands-on osseous adjustment and in chiropractic -- it does work.
c) Being a doctor of chiropractic means that your education is about to start.
a) You cannot learn to adjust if you cannot find the subluxation and its plane of restriction.These comments came from the seminar evaluation sheets and indicate a desire by all attendees to update their personal database. As head of the MPI faculty, I would like to thank all of those doctors and students that attended the 1993 programs. I look forward to your comments and feedback, suggestions and criticisms; most of all, to seeing you at future MPI programs in 1994.
b) Practice your palpation more than anything else because if you can find it, you can fix it.
c) There are no bad techniques in chiropractic, so learn them and become proficient in all of them.
Keith Innes, DC
Scarborough, Ontario
Editor's note: Dr. Innes will be conducting a Full Spine (FS) seminar in Toronto, Ontario on January 16-17 and a Spine 1 (S1) seminar in St. Louis, Missouri on January 22-23. To register, call the Chiropractic Order Desk at 1-800-359-2289.

First implementation of the command 'darcs undo'.
This implementation only makes a copy (named 'previous_hashed_inventory')
of the 'hashed_inventory' file using the function finalizeRepositoryChanges
in the module Repository.Internal.
The command 'darcs undo' swap the content of the files 'hashed_inventory'
and 'previous_hashed_inventory'.
Using this command is possible for example, to undo the last run of
the command amend-record.

* Implementation of the command 'darcs undo'.
- Now we can undo more than one command (for now only
supports record and amend).

* Implementation of the command 'darcs undo'.
Some brief initial comments:
- watch out for spurious whitespace changes
- at some point please merge undoFun into finalizeRepositoryChanges as
discussed before - it'll mean a tedious initial pass through the
codebase marking everything as not undoable by default, but it should
help to shake out any tricky cases and also make sure that nothing is
missed. It'll also be good for future maintainability as people won't be
able to forget undo.
Another general point: this new feature will require substantial testing.
You should start on that now so that you build up the tests as you go, as
it'll be much easier than doing them in one big block at the end. The
tests will also help reviewers understand what the feature can and can't
- Removed spurious whitespace.
- undoFun renamed to 'handleUndoFiles' and called inside finalizeRepositoryChanges.
- Record, unrecord, amend, tag and rebase suspend are marked as YesUndoable.
Looks like rebase unsuspend can't be YesUndoable due to a conditional execution of
finalizeRepositoryChanges in the function checkSuspendedStatus.

* Implementation of the command 'darcs undo'.
Getting there :-)
Did you document the on-disk format yet? Also don't forget about tests.
I think the most important cleanup left is to sort out the description
of the existing use sites where that's unclear.
One simple change would be to merge the description into the Undoable
type, i.e.
data Undoable = YesUndoable String | NoUndoable
there's no need for a description for a non-undoable command (is there?)
That would eliminate a lot of the existing sites with unclear
It's fine for "rebase453" ("rebase inject") to be NoUndoable - that's a
hacky private command.
I think "rebase obliterate" is undoable, did you have a specific reason
that it isn't?
I had a look at the UI. It's a bit confusing, particularly with the
"Last state" thing. On the other hand, the UI does mean it supports
"redo" implicitly.
I wonder if it would be better to have a separate "redo" command
instead, and present the things to undo (and redo) as a more explicit
stack where the last command is listed first. Perhaps if a single "darcs
undo" could only undo one operation, the UI would be simpler - it would
just say "undo record [y/n]?"
Taking into account your suggestions I implemented two
separate commands: 'undo' and 'redo'.
Both undo or redo just one operation.
I think you were right, it seems much simpler now.
For now, as indicated by the test, its only enabled for
record, unrecord, amend and obliterate.
For the next version I'll probably move handleUndoFiles
out of the function finalizeRepositoryChanges,
since the revert command doesn't call this function.
Now we are going to support much more commands,
so I wonder what will be the protocol (if any)
to clear the saved states.

* Test for undo and redo commands.
I don't think we need to clear out the saved states explicitly, only when
something invalidates them.
The user doesn't need to use 'darcs undo' if she doesn't want to, so I
don't think they get in the way.
Hm, last activity 6 months ago. Looks like you have sorted out most of
the initial objections, so shouldn't this go into screened? If you don't
have the time I can try to rebase it (guessing that this will be
necessary). There is no milestone yet, but (again guessing) you haven't
planned for this to go into 2.10, or have you?
I don't think we should take the risk to have this into 2.10 since it is
a new feature, its specification is still not clear, and its author is
no longer around.
Giving up on this,it can be resurrected later if anyone is interested.

I came across an article about a Holocaust Survivor who left his estate, that was worth almost $40 million, to no one. Yes, I said almost $40 million left to no one (insert loud gasp here!)
So, what happened to this millionaire's estate? The state of New York is the proud owner of those millions. As I have mentioned in the past, if there is no will or trust dictating where your assets should go, the state determines where those assets will be distributed.
In this case, Mr. Blum left no instructions as he had no will or trust. He left it up to the state to determine where his millions should go. Because the state could not find any heirs, even after doing a world wide search, and the estate is unclaimed, his millions will go to the State of New York.
Mr. Blum was not a dumb man. He was smart and according to his accountant he knew how to name beneficiaries and knew what had to be done.
Although escheating to the state is incredibly rare because the laws of intestacy look for any living relative including cousins and their descendants and any one who falls under the nebulous term "next of kin," it does happen.
The moral of this story? PLAN!
You may not own millions but you also want to ensure that whatever assets you do own are distributed in a way you want them to be.
If you want assistance in creating an estate plan specific to your needs, contact our Redwood City estate planning attorney at 650-503-3770. At the Law Office of Carmen M. Rosas, we ensure that every plan is unique to our clients and their families.

The second-largest denomination in Germany voted to allow pastors to perform gay marriages as official unions and granted the ruling retroactive power, according to a translated release. Evangelical Church in the Rhineland announced their decision during the same time frame the Anglican Communion sanctioned the Episcopal over similar guidelines. The formal announcement follows years of the Rhenish Synod's support of same-sex partnerships.
ECR clergymembers who disagree with the unions, however, will not be forced to perform the ceremonies, according to Evangelical Focus. The couples may seek a blessing from another parish if their leader refuses. "With these regulations, the Synod takes into account the different understanding of the Bible on homosexuality bill. So some Landessynodale had made it clear during the debate that they hold the wedding of gay and lesbian couples to be incompatible with the Bible," reads a translation of the release. FULL REPORT

Cats, Adopt One Now!
Animal Kind and the House they Provided for their Cats!
Cats Love Silly Games
They Love Silly Games!
Sometimes the most expensive toys don't entertain our silly cat friends, but here are some games my cats love. Playing in the water bowl is great entertainment, but dragging it out for me to trip on is even more fun.
I have two cats and one I swear is part dog personality wise, he begs to play, follows me everywhere I go, and even has mastered how to wake me up at 4:00 am with little soft kitty mews standing on my chest, all eleven pounds of him.
Here are some inexpensive games my cats love. The female cat loves pink toys and will pick out of a full toy box, only the pink toys. She will go upstairs where there is an open balcony over the living room, and throw heavy toys that will make noise on the way down to hit me sitting below for attention.
There is something about the cabinets in the kitchen which fascinates her and she takes her paw and opens them and lets them bang shut, in fact she will do that to antagonize her brother to come play with her.
Both cats were feral and were going to be put to sleep at a shelter, and Katrin from AnimalKind rescued them, and asked me to keep them to socialize them so they could be adopted out. Needless to say they never left my home, and have become members of the family.
Funny thing about some animal shelters a little scared kitty spitting doesn't always mean they are not adoptable. A few days in our home she stopped spitting and seeing her little brother interact with us became calm and played along too.
The male cat was social right off, and was going to be put to sleep due to his sister's behavior, so do help shelters out and rescue a kitty or two, socialize them and support rescues that deserve it.
AnimalKind in Hudson NY, supports and rescues at least one hundred cats at a time and house them in a beautiful two story home with home furnishings letting the majority of the cats run free from their cages to sun or sleep on their couches or windowsills.
Link to AnimalKind http://www.all-creatures.org/ak/
Katrin; the woman that runs Animal Kind works around the clock and has people coming from every area, even out of New York State to adopt her cats and kitties. If you love cats and live within driving distance I am sure your donated help for even one day or one hour a week would be appreciated. It is only about a thirty-five minute ride from the Mass. Border and Albany NY. It's definitely worthy of an hour or two ride to help such a good cause..

More Cat Games:
The male cat loves to have me throw his treats, and he jumps up in the air on his hind legs and tries to catch them in his paw like a baseball player would. The cutest thing about that is when he does catch them he closes his paw like a human's hand, and then puts the treat in his mouth to eat it. He has very human like behavior, and he could play this game for hours. Seeing he likes this game so much I put regular cat food in his treat container so he doesn't overeat treats.
Another game that gets a bit rough at times and I have to break them up, is fight for the sunbeam. My house is very sunny with a lot of windows, so they move with the sunbeams and lay in them. The female; Sissy especially finds that special beam and Troubles for some reason has to have it. They have two beds in full sunny windows, but at times he can be a bit bossy and fight for a sunbeam on the floor.
I bought a hollow tube toy that has port holes in it, and the male cat hides inside waiting for his sister to walk in to run out and catch her with his paws.Both cats enjoy that toy, but its more his thing.
The next game is chase moths through the window game at night which amuses them for hours since they are house cats...not outdoor cats. Research shows house cats have a longer life, and I believe its true since my last cat lived to 20 years old and was a house cat.
Then we have the 'make the bed game' the cats love it when I change the sheets and run under the sheets when putting them on the bed. It is so much fun for them they sleep on top of the duvet until the novelty wears off which could take two days.
I suppose everyone's cats love cardboard boxes and paper bags like mine do. I keep one box in the house for them to play in.
The cats were never declawed and even though they have scratching posts, they tend to use the pine wood around one door frame, slowly its being sanded down for appearance sake, but we don't believe in declawing them. I guess no one would if they think about cutting off the tips of their fingers. Most people have the image of declawing as pulling out claws but it is not like that. In fact over in Europe declawing is against the law.
I was a bit surprised when the vet told me male cats were more interactive and social, since I had a female cat before, which seems to be true Troubles is like having a dog, or a little child most of the time.
The last game besides the obvious ones like fetch would be annoying to most but it makes me laugh. If you dare eat on a chair in the living room, he takes his arm and reaches out for the plate wanting some too, even if you give him a piece and he doesn't like it.
I think the best toys I have found for an inexpensive price is at PETCO..
Just another fun game the cats have made as their own. If anyone else has a cat with a unique game besides the toys stores sells, I would love to hear about them.
Do check out your local rescues and no kill shelters. If there is room in your home for another cat then I'd suggest going to a shelter that euthanizes animals to save a precious pet.

Hello, wonderful cat person. I'm so glad you've allowed the two kitties to socialize and adopt you. I am a cat person, too. I have two cats, a 12-year-old diabetic male, Tas, and a one-year-old ocicat, Cici, that are both rescue animals. In fact, I've never had any other kind except for when I adopted a pregnant cat and was overrun with kittens. I think my cats know every trick in your book except the balcony one. We live in a one-story house. Your photo of the beautiful black cat looks like my late part Siamese. He lived to be nearly 20 years old in spite of being allowed to go outside until his last three years. My cats are all house cats now, and Tas is expected to have a long life span despite the diabetes. He gets two insulin shots per day. . I also enjoyed the video of the animal shelter, too. You and your shelter are doing wonderful work!
I would share this hub if I could figure out how. HP has changed things around again. Voted up ++
Hello! My local cat shelter is called The Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven Society and they let cats live out their lives there. Only when the cats are terminally ill are they put down. Obviouslty, it is generally full and has foster families for the overflow. I got my cat there. She is old. she was abused and she no longer has any teeth. she still plays games around 12am. The inexpensive kind, like you say. Rolled up yarn, newspaper balls, paper bags, cat nip... Rated up and everything across the board.

Hi Friends!
Do you know what today is? … … … it's Global Forgiveness Day! That's right, today's the day where you stop holding that grudge towards your brother (although he may be annoying), your mother (she really is just looking out for the best), and (of course) your Best Friend. We know how hard it may be to get over something, but we also know how hard it is to struggle with the idea of NOT being able to talk to someone you care about. So put that pride aside, talk it out, and forgive! We promise, you'll feel a whole lot better =)

Today I'm staying put.
Girlfriend in the bath.
Slow roast of pork for lunch.

I'll post them as I play them.
You can play along or just heckle at my lack of cool.

A couple weeks ago I wrote a blog post on how I can hope in a God who hurts me.
I had no idea after writing that post that I would miscarriage.
How Can I Hope In A God Who Hurts Me
But even through this, which has been the most heartbreaking thing I have ever been through, I can still look back and read that post and say I do still hope in God.
Everyone has been telling me that God has a plan, He wants the best for me, He knows what He is doing… And it is true. And I am grateful for everyone who loves me, reminding me of His love for me. But through this I have learned that even though I do have a hope, that I do know God is still good, that I will one day see my baby, I have learned that it is still okay for me to be sad. I'm not okay, and it is fine.
I cry because I am heartbroken but at the same time I know that God has the best in mind for me and Tj, that He loves me with a love I can't wrap my mind around. I know this, I believe this with all my heart and I am still sad.
I cry because God took away my baby, but at the same time, My hope lies in Him alone.
Job 13:15 "Though he slay me, I will hope in him."
Maybe you haven't experienced what I have, maybe you lost a loved one, maybe you have a prodigal child, maybe you lost your job, whatever it is, you can trust in God 100% and still be sad. And for me, that has been one of the most comforting things.
Ecclesiastes 3:4 "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"
It's okay to not be okay. Sometimes there are no words that can make your situation better. Sometimes all you can do is cry, and that's okay.

These are the first phones where the fingerprint scanner is located in the side edges. There are no sharp corners and the edges are neatly rounded. The Premium will certainly require two handed operation for most users.
Sony has priced the phones over Rs 50,000, as expected, with the Z5 Premium costing Rs 62,990. Sony's last flagship the Xperia Z3+ was a good device marred by heating issues and price point. Will the Z5 / Z5 Premium running on the Snapdragon 810 prevent heating issues? That's one thing we can tell only after thoroughly testing the devices. As for the price, well Sony is known for premium pricing. But this festive season it has a lot of competition, so we shall see how it stands up.

Research in the field of human rights and minority rights:
Impact in international organisations such as the European Union and Council of Europe and Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)
Professor Bill Bowring's research and expertise in the field of human rights in general, and minority rights in particular, has contributed to the policy-making of, amongst others, the Council of Europe (CoE), the European Union (EU), the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). His work has been influential in encouraging countries of the Former Soviet Union to meet international obligations with respect to human rights and other issues.
Bowring's work is interdisciplinary, being also of interest to political scientists, especially scholars of ethno-nationalism, and socio-linguists. The main findings from Bowring's research are:
- The key Russian response to meeting its minorities' obligations to the Council of Europe is 'national-cultural autonomy'. This policy experiment since 1996 represents a clean break from Russia's Bolshevik and Soviet policies.
- Russia's exceptionally asymmetric constitutional structure including territorial and non-territorial autonomy continues a tradition of autonomy in the Empire and the USSR.
- Recognition and protection of the linguistic diversity of Russia is crucial to its continued flourishing and probably to its future existence.
Specific recent projects, each of which has resulted in publications, and has led to the next, include:
- 2003-2013 Bowring secured a European Commission grant of €1 million in 2002 to found the European Human Rights Advocacy Centre (EHRAC) of which he is Chair. EHRAC has taken some 450 cases to date to the Strasbourg court against former USSR countries, and Bowring has acted as advocate in many of them. Bowring's critical reflections on this practice are published in his two books, The Degradation of the International Legal Order? (Routledge, 2008) and Law, Rights and Ideology in Russia (Routledge, 2013).
- 2006-2008 Bowring was invited to participate in the CoE conference, 'The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages', at Swansea University. Bowring's chapter appeared in the Council of Europe edited collection. This led to invitation to participate in the INTAS project, and the EU/CoE Joint Programme (see below).
- 2006-2008 Bowring was legal expert in the research project 'Language Policy in Ukraine: anthropological, linguistic and further perspectives'. Led by the University of Vienna, this project was funded by €100,000 from EU INTAS (International Association for the Promotion of Co-operation with Scientists from the New Independent States of the Former Soviet Union). This interdisciplinary research included large scale surveys. Bowring provided the legal expertise; analysing Ukrainian legislation and practice. His chapter as legal expert for the project's publications was published in Ukrainian and English.
- 2009-2010 Appointment as co-expert for the OSCE's High Commissioner on National Minorities (HCNM) Mr Knut Vollebaek. Bowring accompanied Vollebaek to Russia and Ukraine in spring 2009 and prepared reports and recommendations for the HCNM's confidential work with both governments.

I'm not cool. It probably goes without saying, to be honest, but in case it just wasn't clear enough, I've put it in pride of place at the very beginning here. And again: I@m not cool, in case you are a blog-reader who, for some reason, refuses to read the first sentence of posts, which if is the case, you might have missed some pretty important stuff.
… Imagine it:
"The world is going to end in three minutes unless you stand up now. I hope you're all well."
You have missed that vital piece of information, and are therefore fully responsible for the world's distruction. …
What is cool? It doesn't really have a definition, if you ask me. Cool just seems to me to be this unachievable, unrealistic state of being. It's somehow playing the game of high school politics like a world champion, and achieving supreme rule by, somehow, winning the game which everybody else has lost.
If you're cool, everything you do is unintentionally perfect: your clothes, actions and sentences have purpose and attitude. Suddenly, everyone wants to be your friend, to the point where you can actively reject an innocent offer of friendship so casually, the act will have been forgotten within the minute. No one would dare bully or pick on you; there are far too many people who would instantly jump to your defence at the blink of an eye, and even more who would follow their lead in hope of being associated with 'the cool kid'.
If there's all those benefits, being cool seems like a pretty good way to be, if you ask me. However, in my semi-pessimistic life, I always live by the rule that every good thing has it's downfalls: the whole 'every cloud has a silver lining' line, reversed.
Being cool can't be easy, really. Ensuring that you don't slip up, either metaphorically or literally, whenever you're with friends, or in a public place must, at least, be a challenge. Only wearing cool clothes, saying cool things, talking about cool TV shows and music…
That doesn't, to me, sound like living. If anything, that sounds like living a lie, strictly following a list of rules stating what is acceptable to like, to say, to wear, to watch, to read, to do. I'm a strong believer in individuality and personality, and if this is true, being cool essentially blots out all individuality from a person, leaving them a clone of every other cool person across the country, and a close copy to every other cool kid around the world.
That leads me back to my question: what is cool? Is it just the personification of trends, combined with a bit of attitude and a surrender to social pressure? It would seem so.
Really, though, why is that combination responsible for so many popular teenagers across the globe? I can say, with a reasonable amount of confidence, that people become cool because others feel that they are the clone of the person that everyone is ought to be. Cool kids are usually quite stereotypical: they like certain music, look and dress a certain way, and speak using select examples of up-to-date slang. Cool kids are the people that society can hold up and say to us all: "see, they're just like you, and if they can do it, why can't you?"
I'm not cool. I like the wrong type of music; hardly watch any TV shows at all, let alone popular ones; I would happily go to the shopping centre in a snow leopard onesie; I find it easier to write and read in English, not slang; I don't follow social trends or stereotypes. Maybe if I changed all of those things, I'd be cool, popular. But I'm not going to, because I don't want to change me.
In the end, where does cool get you? What does being cool achieve? JK Rowling, Steve Jos, Adele – they didn't get where they are today because they were cool in school; they worked hard and were passionate about their professions. Although the positives of being cool are extremely appealing, the negatives definitely outweigh them: I refuse to live a lie, by following rules that don't reflect me as a person.
Walking on egg-shells – the act of making sure you don't put a toe out of line for fear of falling – sounds to me what being cool is like. It's tiptoeing around everything, desperate not to slip and fall off of these egg-shells, fearful of falling but tired of staying upright. Everyone has a personality and I wonder if sometimes, someone who is cool feels that they have to repress an element of their personality, to keep with the trends and expectations. Honestly, that thought actually makes me sad, because it makes me wonder if that is what our world has really come to: a lot of people living a lie. People holding themselves bak, not allowed to be who they want to be, say what they want to say or do what they want to do.
whoever you are, cool or not, popular or not: don't actively try and be cool. Really, it's not that attractive by the sounds of things and it's not real 99% of the time. Just be you: like what you want, wear what you want, say what you want. That in itself is cool, if you ask me, and hundreds of thousands of others around the world. Having the confidence and freedom to be yourself, and not conform to pressure, expectations or rules is cool, and earns you respect. If people can't see that, it's theer loss, not yours, and you whould remember that.
To me, you're all cool, because you're all you, whether it's on your blogs, in real life or both. each and every one of you is well, you, and that's cool.
so, the message of this post. don't actively seek to be cool. And never be ashamed to wear a snow leopard onesie in a shopping centre!

A shape's perimeter can be used to calculate other geometric properties, like area, or it could be used in word problems to calculate cost of materials or best use of space.
Calculating the perimeter of any geometric shape is simple: just add the length of each side. For a circle, the perimeter is called the circumference and can be calculated using the formula 2πr, with r as the radius of the circle.
Here are two examples of ACT Math problems involving a shape's perimeter:
If the cost of fencing is $4.50 per foot, how much will it cost Bob to place a fence around his backyard, shown in figure A?
a. $2,484.00
b. $248,400
c. $207.00
d. $20,700
Answer: c. Solving this problem requires calculation of perimeter, unit conversion from inches to feet and multiplication. The total perimeter is 552 inches (120+120+36+120+120+36), which converts to 46 feet (552 inches/12 inches per foot). The total cost of 46 feet of fence is $207 (46 feet x $4.50 per foot).
If the area of a circle is 25 square inches, what is the circle's circumference?
a. 8.9 inches
b. 17.7 inches
c. 8.9 square inches
d. 17.7 square inches
Answer: b. First you need to be able to relate the area of a circle to its perimeter. The formula for the area is πr2, meaning that this circle has a radius of about 2.8 inches. Plugging this value into the formula for a circle's perimeter 2πr, you get an answer of 17.7 inches. This value is not squared, as represented by the formula and the fact that it represents a distance not an area.

You will be amazed by how quick and easy it is to apply your Flash Tattoo with the help of a little water.
Step 1: Clean and dry skin. You want to make sure your skin is clean, dry and free of any oils or the tattoo will not adhere. If you have lotion or any products on (even from hours earlier), use a little soap and water or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to clean the area.
Step 2: Cut out the tattoo as close to the edge as possible (this is important later when you need to line it up). If you are applying a band that will be worn as a bracelet, anklet or arm band, trim the tattoo to size if it needs to be adjusted while the protective liner is still in place.
Step 3: Once it is properly trimmed, remove the clear sheet. For best application, ask a friend to help position your Flash Tattoo so your skin does not twist or stretch.
Step 4: Place the tattoo face down on your skin and hold a wet cloth against it for about 30 seconds. Peel the paper aside then pat gently with the wet cloth. Tada! Be sure not to twist or stretch skin until the tattoo has had time to set (at least 20 minutes). Flash Tattoos look best after they have had an hour or two to set into the skin.
Remember to keep oil-based lotions, sunscreens, body wash, perfumes, etc. off your tats! For more tips and tricks to apply and maintain your Flash Tattoos, visit the general section of our Frequently Asked Questions page. Shine on!

Nerves can do a number on anyone's bathroom habits, and your cat is just as susceptible to the unpleasant effects. Stress can send your kitty running for the litter box, if you're lucky, to leave the occasional messy puddle of poo behind. Long-term diarrhea may have a different cause.
Anxiety Symptoms
Your happy-go-lucky kitty may not be as happy as he would otherwise seem. Cats experience stress and anxiety just like you do, although not for the same reasons. Changes in routine or to the household may unnerve your kitty, causing him stress and changes in his behavior. Common symptoms of anxiety include excessive grooming, a change in their bathroom habits -- such as peeing or pooping outside the litter box -- or bouts of diarrhea. Some cats are simply more prone to anxiety than others, which can cause longer-lasting effects.
Chronic Diarrhea Causes
Occasional bouts of diarrhea aren't necessarily cause for alarm, as even your cat can pick up a tummy bug that keeps him close to his litter box for a few days. Long-term or chronic diarrhea isn't usually as innocent, and typically has a medical cause such as a food allergy or gastrointestinal disease. Various medical conditions can cause chronic diarrhea until the underlying issue is controlled, such as liver or kidney disease and hyperthyroidism.
Crossing Paths
In a nutshell, anxiety can cause diarrhea, but chronic diarrhea typically stems from a larger medical issue. On the surface this may seem to negate the connection between the two, but cases of extreme anxiety can cause gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel disease. This, in turn, can cause bouts of persistent diarrhea. So, in a roundabout way, anxiety can cause chronic diarrhea by creating a medical condition that offers diarrhea as a symptom.
So your kitty is a fluffy bundle of nerves who's leaving wet puddles of poop behind. Healing his gut means calming him down. See your veterinarian to diagnose any other underlying health issues and develop a treatment plan for the physical aspect of the condition. But medical treatment will only go so far, and you need to work on ways to encourage your cat to chillax. Offer him some extra snuggle time and make sure he's got plenty of toys to keep himself occupied. Synthetic calming pheromone products such as Feliway help promote relaxation. Removing him from whatever upsets him most, such as interaction with a certain pet or family member, can also help.

Allowance may refer to:
|This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.
ALLOWANCE (from "allow," derived through 0. Fr. alouer from the two Lat. origins adlaudare, to praise, and allocare, to assign a place; so that the English word combined the general idea of "assigning with approval"), the action of allowing, or the thing allowed; particularly, a certain limited apportionment of money or food and diet (see Dietary).
In commercial usage "allowance" signifies the deduction made from the gross weight of goods to make up for the weight of the box or package, waste, breakages, &c. Allowance, which is customary in most industries, varies according to the trade, district or country; e.g. in the coal trade it is customary for the merchant to receive from the pit 21 cwts. of coal for every ton purchased by him, the difference of i cwt. being the allowance for the purpose of making good the waste caused through transhipment, screening and cartage (see TARE AND TRET.)

Hickory, dickory, dock.
Hickory Dickory Dock Clock
Opposites Worksheet
Hickory Dickory Dock Clock
Singular-Plural Worksheet
Share a Mouse-
Children enjoy sharing their animals, both stuffed and alive. Have children bring in their collections of mice from home--stuffed, magnetic, paper, etc. Creative stories can come from the mice table.
Cheese-Tasting Party-
Do mice really like cheese? Good question for research! Wonder if they only like certain kinds of cheeses? Help children understand how cheese is made and how many different kinds there are. Have children bring in different kinds of cheeses. Cut the cheese into bite-size pieces so that the children can try each type for themselves. Supply some crackers to go with the cheese.
Mouse Art-
Use the
circle pattern
triangle pattern
to make a mouse from construction paper similar to the one below. Use yarn for the long tail! If the tail is long enough, the mouse can be used as a bookmark and will make a great gift for mom or dad!
Walnut Mice-
Using half of an English walnut, the children can create interesting mice. Fill the half with clay and turn flat side down. Use felt scraps for ears and tail. For eyes, use paint or wiggly eyes. Waxed heavy black thread works well for whiskers.
Thumbprint Mice-
Have each child press his thumbe on an ink pad and then place the print on paper. Turn the thumbprints into mice. The kids will love this!
Show the children the hour hand and the minute hand on the clock. Take time during the day to tell time together.
Cat and the Mice
Form a circle. Choose four children to be "mice" and go into the center of the circle. Choose someone to be the "cat", who must stand outside the circle. Call "Catch the mice!" The cat goes into the circle and tries to catch the mice. (The mice cannot go outside the circle). As the mice are caught, they join the other children in the circle. The last child to be caught becomes the "cat" in the next game.
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
by Laura Joffe Numeroff.
Have cookies and MILK, and make Milk Moustaches!
Hershey Kiss Mice
1 jar of maraschino cherries (with stems) Hershey kisses
Small bag of chocolate chips
Sliced almonds
Melt chocolate chips in double boiler. Dip cherry in melted chocolate, holding by stem. Dip bottom of kiss in chocolate, then put together with cherry. The cherry is the body of mouse, stem is tail and kiss is nose. Then dip two almonds in chocolate and put between cherry and kiss for mouse ears. These are so cute!
Clock Snacks
Spread a rice cake with peanut butter (face of clock). Use raisins for the numbers and celery sticks for hands of clock.
"Heart" Mouse
To make a pattern for the mouse, fold a sheet of paper in half and cut it as if you were going to cut out a heart. Do not open the "heart". This is the body of your mouse. The point of the unfolded "heart" is the mouse's nose. Use a circle pattern for the ears, a wiggly eye, tiny pom-pom for end of nose and yarn for the tail. Let children make grandfather clocks from 9x12 brown construction paper. A small paper plate (7") will make a great face of the clock. Let children write in the numbers or better yet---cut out numbers from an old calendar! These mice and clocks can be used while reciting the rhyme.
Hickory Dickory Dock Color-by-Number
Lea submitted the following idea--thanks!
Draw a clock on construction paper. Write the verse leaving out the number and the next sentence, and allowing the children to create their own rhyme. I placed contact paper that they can practice writing their number they were on, then they could erase it and start again. "Hickory, Dickory, Dock, the mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck___, the mouse_________. Hickory, Dickory, Dock."

Mike wraps up some loose ends about perceptions of socialism and communism based on last week's broadcast with the former Russian Senator. He also speaks about writing, and Jewish political power being used to foment wars — and strong-arm Iran, particularly. Orthodox Jews are draining the welfare system in Israel, and Piper wants to bust up the Jewish lobby in America, and those who support it. Some new political parties are organizing, and Rand Paul has some questionable goals about foreign policy.

JARRETTSVILLE, Md. (AP) — A man has died after falling while rock climbing in Harford County's Rocks State Park.
Maryland Natural Resources Police say it happened Saturday evening.
The man in his 30s was climbing the King and Queen seat when he fell while climbing the natural rock outcrop.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The King and Queen seat is a popular tourist destination and a challenge for skilled hikers. It rises 190 feet above Deer Creek.

Ignoring the disallowed goal – which should have been allowed – what else stood out as worthy highlights from our
3-1 2-1 home win over Sunderland?
Christian Eriksen and his late goals are reminiscent of Gareth Bale's, although we are not completely reliant on our Danish midfielder in the same way Bale's influence was so imperative to us winning games.
Spurs are more structured these days. Eriksen is now so much more involved with the tempo of the game, finding space and looking to involve himself much more in and out of possession. Perhaps still light in the tackle, but positively hungry for the points when he fires in the winner.
One of the reasons we're still competitive towards the end of the game is thanks to Hugo Lloris and his composure between the sticks. Twice he produced 'match saving' stops. Easy to forget that these moments can be as important as the more glory enriched ones down the other end.
With Ryan Mason out injured and Nabil Bentaleb away on international duty, it was great to see Mousa Dembele and Benji Stambouli in the engine room of the side. Nothing too fancy or progressive, but bundles of focus and energy. Sunderland might not have offered too much in the competitive stakes but still, very nice to have our normally benched players perform admirably.
Shout out also to Eric Dier, in the team because of the absence of Federico Fazio, and playing in his natural centre-back position. We seem to be coping fairly well since the congested Christmas period. Andros Townsend (when subbed on) gave us width and should have been rewarded with a start after his performance in the cup.
I can't say the booing for Emmanuel Adebayor's return was great to hear. The issue is simply perspective. He's been unavailable due to personal reasons and his relationship with the fanbase is a fragmented on. Mainly as he retains such a chaotic presence at the club and is so erratic with form. I guess some fans are fed up with the wages paid and the flaky attitude. Ade still remains our best striker in terms of experience and ability. It's just impossible to know whether we'll get Jekyll or Hyde.
Roberto Soldado on the other hand continues to look a lost soul. He often resembles a gun-slinger in the wild west armed with a water pistol. You want him to find confidence but feel it's long since passed him by. He continues to get support but he's far too apologetic to discover a mean streak to his personality.
Kudos to Maurico Pochettino. We still need work on key areas, new players in and some out, but the team is well drilled and the spirit is evident. We have enough quality to see us through but still need another layer or two to truly consolidate.
A good solid win, with a few reminders it's not all perfect.
