Teen Mom 3 star Mackenzie McKee has opened up to fans about her marriage to husband Josh McKee. Fans of the defunct Teen Mom show will recall, Mackenzie and Josh separated back in April… but then they got back together!
Mackenzie tells WetPaint, she was on the brink of divorce. But, at the last moment, they decided to keep their young family together and make it work. Adding, a few weeks down the line, they're doing "a lot better now."
Why wasn't she more open about her struggles on social media? "I try to keep those things off of social media, but you never know what's going on behind-the-scenes with people," Mackenzie reveals.
Although, now she admits, "It got pretty bad and he did leave for a while, and we decided that we were going to get a divorce and separate."
So what exactly happened? "He went and stayed somewhere else, and we just decided that we don't want to live without each other, and he came back, and he said, 'I'm sorry.' But I can't put all the blame on him or all the blame on me because we just could not get along for the life of us."
She added, they're continuing to work past their problems: "We're still working on stuff. Marriage is always a work in progress and sometimes it will get perfect, and then a door will slam in my face and it will get bad again, and we won't agree on stuff, or whatever."
And she's glad she stuck with him! "I don't know… I don't feel like I could ever live without him. If he leaves it's really going to hurt me."
She knows her fans will relate to her relationship struggles: "I know also a lot of people are looking up to us, and I feel like all the positive comments from fans makes me hold and want to hold on."
However, she didn't keep things together to make anyone else happy. "In the end, I'm glad I've held on and stayed with him because he really is a good husband and he's really patient with me. I'm a really hard person to be married to. I don't know how he does it some days. It's vice versa also!"
In other news… Mackenzie has recorded a song!
Had a blast yesterday. Yes I got to record a song and I can't wait for you all to hear. Not a great singer at all so I chose do a little rappin 🙊… But the reasoning behind it is pretty special to me. Check it out on iTunes and get educated just by listening to it about the disease millions of people suffer with daily including myself.. It will be on available on iTunes soon and 50% of the money goes towards diebetes research. #speakout #typeone #mackenziemckee and thanks to @laonthetrack @c4musiclab and @adambarta for the awesome music . A good Song for all the kiddos too😊. #thesweetesttreat

Personalized Products Business Idea
If you have ever thought about how to start a personalization business, now is the ideal time. Personalized merchandise is more popular than ever. Almost anything can be personalized. Mugs, pens, clothing, accessories, and gifts become one-of-a-kind when personalized with a name or special message.
Decide what types of items you want to personalize. Everything from candy wrappers to pacifiers can be imprinted. Initially, choose a limited line of personalized products to sell. This will give you time to learn the business and your market before you spend a lot of money on inventory.
The equipment you require will differ if you personalize t-shirts as opposed to coffee mugs. After deciding which products to offer, research and purchase the required equipment.
Choose a location for your personalization business. Depending on the products you plan to personalize, you have the choice of running the business from home or leasing retail space.
A home business requires less start up money, but more legwork to get the word out and sell products. Retail space is more expensive and the location will be critical. It must be in an existing shopping area with no other personalization services nearby.
Start A Personalization Business – Keys to Success
When you start a personalization business, you must fill a customer need to become successful. Before deciding on your own products, investigate the existing businesses in your area that already sell personalized items. Offer something completely different and unique.
A personalization business requires meticulous attention to detail. Misspellings and misprints are completely unacceptable. Errors cost time, money, and often result in the loss of a customer. Mistakes will happen, but they should be rare and handled in a way that regains the customer's goodwill.
How To Market Your Personalization Business
The market for personalized gifts and merchandise is wide open. Consumers, businesses, sports teams, clubs, bars, restaurants, and attractions all purchase personalized items. Use your marketing dollars to target the groups most likely to buy what you offer.
If your product is coffee mugs, corporations are your most likely customer base. If you personalize baby blankets, put fliers up where parents and grandparents shop.
Create a catalog of personalized samples to show people. Take product samples with you on sales presentations. Nothing sells a product more effectively than giving the buyer the opportunity to actually see it.
Growing Your Business
The logical way to expand after you start a personalization business is to add more products. If you personalize t-shirts, you can easily add other personalization of other pieces of clothing without purchasing additional equipment. Contact local schools and sports teams to see if you can obtain ongoing contracts to personalize uniforms or caps.
If you started your personalization at home and are making a profit, think about moving out of the house and into retail space. The right retail location can significantly increase sales by giving your business more exposure. You could also hire employees, stay open longer hours, and speed production.
Developing a web site to sell personalized products online is another way to increase revenue. Make it easy for customers to order and choose the personalization online and your customer base has instantly grown to worldwide proportions.
Your decision to start a personalization business can bring great rewards. Choosing the right personalized products for your market, producing the finest quality in-demand items, and effectively marketing to your target group is the basis for success.

This nice 3cy caspian gull was discovered in Mandal harbour on march 19th by Thomas Bentsen. It's a rather classic individual with the typical, lanky caspian build, pure white head (streaking restricted to lower neck), small beady eyes, a solid tailband, predominantly white underwings and a mirror on P10. It is typically a more contrasting bird than a herring at the same age. Many caspians are more advanced in their covert-moult than this bird, but it is still far more advanced than the local 3cy herring gulls at this time - being comparable with 4cy herrings, in fact.

Groundwater Models: Converting Research Developments into Practical Applicationsby Peter F. Andersen, GeoTrans Inc, Herndon, VA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Computer Applications in Water Resources
One method of bridging the gap between code developer and code applier is through separate user-friendly computer programs called preprocessors that prepare data before execution of the main program. They can greatly facilitate data entry because the user is prompted only for data required in the particular simulation. The time-consuming and error-prone procedure of placing data in the correct columns on the correct card images is eliminated because the preprocessor automatically formats the data file. It can also check data for reasonableness and alert the user to potential problems. Some of the most widely used computer codes now have preprocessors available. These include the USGS (United States Geological Survey) two-dimensional groundwater flow code, the new modular USGS three-dimensional flow code, and a proprietary variable density saltwater intrusion code.

We all talk about faith and religious people throw phrases like 'God willing' or 'heaven forbid' as if they were sneezing. But to really, really have faith and to ultimately put everything into God's hands, now that's easier said than done.
Logic dictates that we must. God runs the world, God is intimately involved in our lives, God wants us to turn to him and is waiting for our dialogue with him. Then why, oh why is it so hard to believe that the outcome of anything at all is up to God and completely not up to us?
I think I mentioned in a recent post that I am on the verge of very serious decisions about directions in my life. When I asked God last night when, where, how oh help me please I'm directionless, I got a simple answer "What is wrong with you that you don't trust in Me?' and I ask myself, indeed, what is wrong.
I ask you God today to give me that inner quietness that knows that You are guiding me, holding my hand and showing me the way. I ask you to give me faith.

A heavy heart
Unfortunately, Max is away in Brazil until next Thursday, and I had to share this unhappy development with him over the phone. We are both sad and anxious, but also realize this is completely out of our control. It's certainly a hard pill to swallow, but we will get through this—whatever happens.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and well wishes over the last few days. Rest assured, I am doing fine. You're a wonderfully supportive community and it helps that I can share both my ups and downs with you.

I think it takes a lot of guts to put your life out there the way you do. That being said, I will wait on pins and needles for the results of your bloodwork.

World Cup 2018 kicks off on Thursday with a Group A clash between Russia and Saudi Arabia at the Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.
Group A also includes Egypt and Uruguay and you can read our outright preview for this quartet here.
As host nation Russia qualified automatically for these finals and hence their preparations have been restricted to friendly internationals and the 2017 Confederations Cup.
The Confed Cup, the trial run for these finals, saw Russia fail to make it beyond the group stage after a 2-0 win over New Zealand was followed by defeats to Portugal (1-0) and Mexico (2-1).
Perhaps of more concern is the recent form in friendly internationals. In October last year they drew 1-1 with Iran and a month later they lost 1-0 to Argentina and drew 3-3 with Spain. In March this year they lost 3-0 to Brazil and 3-1 to France and most recently they lost 1-0 to Austria and drew 1-1 with Turkey.
Goalkeepers: Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow), Vladimir Gabulov (Club Brugge), Andrey Lunev (Zenit St Petersburg).
Defenders: Vladimir Granat, Fedor Kudryashov (both Rubin Kazan), Ilya Kutepov (Spartak Moscow), Andrey Semenov (Akhmat Grozny), Sergei Ignashevich, Mario Fernandes (both CSKA Moscow), Igor Smolnikov (Zenit St Petersburg).
Midfielders: Yuri Gazinskiy (Krasnodar), Alexsandr Golovin, Alan Dzagoev (both CSKA Moscow), Aleksandr Erokhin, Yuri Zhirkov, Daler Kuzyaev (all Zenit St Petersburg), Roman Zobnin, Alexsandr Samedov (both Spartak Moscow), Anton Miranchuk (Lokomotiv Moscow), Denis Cheryshev (Villarreal).
Forwards: Artem Dzyuba (Arsenal Tula), Aleksey Miranchuk (Lokomotiv Moscow), Fedor Smolov (Krasnodar).
Saudi Arabia:
Saudi Arabia finished second in one of two Asia qualifying groups, 1 point behind Japan after winning 6 of their 10 matches, scoring a total of 17 goals and conceding 10.
This is their first finals since 2006 when they earned just 1 point in the group stage and they are the outsiders of the 4 nations in this quartet.
As far as preparation matches are concerned Saudi have lost their last 3, going down 2-1 to Italy in May and earlier this month they were beaten 3-0 by Peru and 2-1 by Germany.
Goalkeepers: Mohammed Al Owais (Al Ahli), Yasser Al Mosailem (Al Ahli), Abdullah Al Mayouf (Al Hilal).
Defenders: Mansoor Al Harbi (Al Ahli), Yasser Al Shahrani (Al Hilal) Mohammed Al Breik (Al Hilal), Motaz Hawsawi (Al Ahli), Osama Hawsawi (Al Hilal), Omar Hawsawi (Al Nassr), Ali Al Bulaihi (Al Hilal).
Midfielders: Abdullah Al Khaibari (Al Shabab), Abdulmalek Al Khaibri (Al Hilal), Abdullah Otayf (Al Hilal), Taiseer Al Jassim (Al Ahli), Houssain Al Mogahwi (Al Ahli), Salman Al Faraj, Mohamed Kanno (both Al Hilal), Hattan Bahebri (Al Shabab), Salem Al Dawsari (Al Hilal), Yahya Al Shehri (Al Nassr), Fahad Al Muwallad (Al Ittihad).
Forwards: Mohammad Al Sahlawi (Al Nassr), Muhannad Assiri (Al Ahli).

Match Result:
Russia 9/20

Note, odds quoted are an approximate average and are correct at the time of last update but are subject to change
All the pressure is on the home side after some indifferent friendly results sparked criticism of the coach and his team selection in the run up to these finals. Saudi will be an unknown quantity for many including myself and whether they are good enough to take advantage of any nerves or tension in the hosts camp is open to debate.
I'll side with 2-3 goals in total, as much on gut feel as anything in an interesting opening contest.

Only use approved smoke chips that are specially made and sold for grilling and smoking.
Do not use home-made smoke chips because they may contain paint or chemicals which could result in unhealthy smoke.
The smoke taste from home-made wood chips may also be suboptimal because they generate more or less smoke and have different properties.
You can buy smoke chips in specialized cooking shops or here.

Rio Ferdinand to quit fight with FA to keep in with Fabio Capello
RIO FERDINAND is considering dropping his appeal against a Football Association ban to try to smooth his introduction to the England captain's role. Ferdinand hopes to spare the FA further blushes after the scandals surrounding his predecessor, John Terry, by accepting an extra one-match ban imposed on him for challenging a violent misconduct penalty levied for striking Craig Fagan during Manchester United's Premier League game against Hull City last month.
Ferdinand, inset, was banned for three matches and that sanction was extended by a further match after an independent regulatory commission ruled an attempt by Ferdinand to contest his conviction was "frivolous".
Ferdinand then appealed against that decision and the case is due to be resolved this week. Now it is thought he would like…


text: METEOROLOGICAL EQUIPTMENT IN USE IN THE '60'S IN ARMY MOS 93E2 Updated April 8, 2006 to add the image of the equiptment on the School roof. Updated July 20, 2010 to add the photos of a radiosonde launch at Ft. Sill. In the 1950's and early 1960's the School's meteorological equiptment was on the roof of the building. By the time I took the class in late 1963 most of the equiptment had been moved to the Building 200 area. David Olsen provide the picture below showing the roof set-up in 1958. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS Some of the instruments used for Surface Weather Observations are shown in the Weather Shelter in the image below right. Visible are several thermometers (wet bulb, dry bulb, maximum, minimum, etc.) and the hand is pointing to the chart recording barometer (photo provided by Jim Fridley). Below left is the template we used to remember how to plot all the information around the station circle on Surface Weather Maps. Jerry O. Park (Met class of September, 1959) provide the two pictures below. He was stationed at Ft. Greely in Alaska. He says: "The orange box in the Alaska photo is an insulated shelter to house the anemometer recorders which malfunctioned in extreme cold.The metal cylinder extending from the bottom was intended to contain a lighted kerosene flare pot like they used to use on the hiway to warn of road construction.The first time we left one burning we returned the next day to find the entire shelter destroyed by fire.We continued to use the shelter without the flare pot with no further problems.The shelter was an invention of our first sergeant and we referred to them as rabbit hutches when he wasn't listening." There was an interesting auction of an Army aneroid barometer on Ebay in October, 2004. I received permission from the seller (Merrill) to reproduce the image and description from his auction. This is a circa 1970 instrument, but it looks identical to the one I used. Here is what the auction said: US ARMY BAROMETER ML 102G WALLACE&TIERNAN W/MANUAL Item number: 2276274453 Auction ended Oct. 17, 2004 (minimum bid not met). "This auction is for a GENUINE U.S. ARMY VIETNAM era field barometer made by Wallace&Tiernan about 1970. Complete with a copy of the original War Department technical manual,( the cover does not list ML102G on it, but it is covered with updates and changes). The manual lists maintenance, operation,uses, and repair. These were used for weather predicting, surveying and of course, the setting of aircraft altimeters. They have a fully jewelled movement, twin capsules, and incredible American craftsmanship.Dual sweep dial, graduated in millibars. Swing down scale in lid for temperature and altitude corrections. With original Canvas case,that is green velvet lined(VERY RARE). Serial # 2532 is marked on movement arm and on dial. 5" square dial,6 3/8" square overall.Overhauled at SAAD army depot on 1/11/90.Spotless dial, lense and case makes this high precision instrument the nicest example of this type I have ever seen, and the most accurate,( all it required was a minor adjustment of the "base" setting)! I "ran" it up and down in my chamber to verify that "hysterisis" was not present.Check out the calibration report for accuracy readings,(this ultra-precision veteran instrument has been fully calibrated in my Ideal-Aerosmith barometric chamber)." MICROMETEOROLOGY On the right is an image of the Eppley Pyrheliometer which we used to measure Incoming Solar Radiation. This scan was provided by Mr. Tom Kirk of Eppley Laboratory, Inc.. Eppley is still making radiation measuring equiptment (although they no longer look like this) forty years after we used them. The images of the two Minneapolis-Honeywell Potentiometric Recorders shown below were provided by Mr. Fred Vodde of Honeywell. You can imagine how tough it was to find pictures of 40 year old electronic equiptment. We used these recorders for temperature, humidity, Incoming Solar Radiation, etc. measurments in the Micrometeorology part of the school. Their big black cases have stuck in my mind. In August 1964 I was sent TDY to the Army Pictorial Center in Astoria, Long Island City, New York for 3 weeks to star in a training film on how to install charts, change ink cartridges, pens etc. on the Minneapolis-Honeywell electronic recorders we used in the Micro-meteorology phase of the course. The training films were released in June, 1965 and were called; "Meteorological Instruments, PT I--Potentiometer Type Recorders: TF 11-3533" and "Meteorological Instruments, PT II--Calibration Check of Potentiometer Type Rec: TF 11-3534". The Army declaired the films obsolete in May 1993 after using them for 28 years. I never saw the finished training films, but the experience stuck with me. UPPER AIR OBSERVATIONS The images below were provided by Bob Robinson (a 1959 graduate of the school) . Bob says: " The upper air observation, as we practiced it at Ft. Huachuca on a daily operational basis, utilized 3 people. One for the TMQ-5, one for plotting the adiabatic charts, and one for determining winds aloft. The emphasis was on getting the resultant observation to the forecaster as soon as possible." The photo on the left shows: "SP4 George (Andy) Anderson trying to launch a 300g radiosonde balloon at Ft. Huachuca. Believe he was in an earlier class. I had heard that he transferred to Dugway years later." The one on the right is: "SGT Bob (Goldie) Goldsmith with the GMD-1A antenna at Ft. Huachuca. Not sure when he was at Ft. Monmouth but I believe he had been at Ft. Greeley for a time." The next image was provided by J.R. Hoff and shows him at the controls of a Radiosonde receiver at White Sands, NM. J.R. was a Jan. 1972 graduate of the 93E School (after it had moved to Ft. Sill, OK). He is sitting in front of the AN/TMQ-5 Radiosonde Recorder and the C-557/GMD-1 Control Recorder is on the table to his right. Notice the large circular slide rule on top the Control Recorder which was used in computing values. Both those Instruments are shown below from TM 11-6660-206-10, "Operator's Manual Rawin Sets AN/GMD-1A an AN/GMD-1B" (Feb. 1961). The picture on the right below was taken from the "Operation Deep Freeze 60 Task Force 43" yearbook since I could not find any similar picture of Ft. Monmouth personel. It shows Preston Tuning and Robert Feyerharm plotting upper air tracking data.The image on the left below was taken by Jerry O Park in Alaska in 1960. Holding the balloon is Joe Cwalina and on the theodolite is Charles Amen from Stearling , Colorado. They are preparing for a pibal observation whereby observers would track a balloon with a theodolite to determine wind direction and speed. Much of this equiptment was used with the Radiosonde AN/AMT-4A shown on the left below to plot up information on the Skew T, Log P diagram shown on the right below. Don Wimer was a 93F graduate at Ft. Sill in early 1968. They used much of the same equipment that 93E's used. He provided the series of photos below on a radiosonde launch at Ft. Sill.

Located in Southwest Wyoming
La Barge is located in Southwest Wyoming, approximately 110 miles south of Jackson Hole and Yellowstone National Park. The town is located on the banks of the Green River, and along U.S. Highway 189, on the northern end of Lincoln County in the Upper Green River Valley of Wyoming.
The terrain is high desert sagebrush plains at an elevation of 6,600 feet above sea level. La Barge has a population of 431 residents. The county has a population density estimated at 6 people per square mile. The area gets approximately 8.6 inches of rainfall annually and the snow-free season typically lasts from about May to October.
The early inhabitants of the La Barge area were Native American Indians. Tribes from the 1700 and 1800s which frequented the area were Shoshone, Bannock, Ute and Crow Indians. Due to the severe winter weather, few people stayed in the area year-round, and its inhabitance is generally thought to have been seasonal use by early people.
In 1824, American fur trappers discovered the Upper Green River Valley and its abundance of untrapped beaver. Fur trading companies quickly moved into the area to take advantage of the furs that could be found here.
There are two stories about the naming of La Barge Creek, and the town of La Barge. One theory holds La Barge Creek, near the town, was named for a fur trapper whose party was attacked by Indians while trapping on the creek in the 1825. His trapping companions were eye witnesses to the attack, and his demise due to a tamahawk firmly planted in his skull, quite certain of his death. However, other accounts claim the creek and town were named after a Missouri riverboat captain also by the last name of La Barge from the 1860s. Contemporary maps from the 1830s have the creek named as "Laberge" Creek. So there is still a fair amount of confusion as to the truth of the actual origin of the naming of the creek for which the town is named.
The Rocky Mountain Fur Trade era lasted for 16 years, from 1824 to 1840, until the area became heavily trapped out and it was no longer able to economically support all the men involved in the extensive fur trapping industry in the valley. Many experienced fur trappers who first explored the area moved on to jobs that paid them to guide the increasing hordes of white settlers who began crossing the country in search of a new life using the Oregon Trail as their road to the West.
By the 1850s, thousands of people and livestock were crossing the West with dreams of a better life. Some of those trappers and white settlers never made it to Oregon or California, choosing instead to stay in the area that would ultimately become Wyoming. The early people who stayed in La Barge began to make lives in the area, taking advantage of desert claim and homestead laws enabling them to claim land if they could make it productive. Cattle ranchers tried to make a living in the area, but it was a tough life.
Early settlers realized the La Barge area, and southwest Wyoming, was rich in deposits of coal and oil. Once transportation means were in place with the Transcontinental Railroad, and a crude network of roads connecting the rural areas to the larger towns, entrepreneurs began to find ways to capitalize on those mineral deposits. Natural oil seeps were known to exist in the La Barge area. The land where the town of Labarge is now located was homestead by William and Mary Shinsel in 1912. Moondance owner Cheryl Pierce is the great-great-grand-daugter of William and Mary Shinsel. During the first oil boom in the mid 1920's, the Shinsels sold the land to a developer who esteblished a town named Tulsa after the more famous oil town in Oklahoma. Within the next few year 6 different towns sprung up in the immeadiate area, including one only 2 miles west of Tulsa named LaBarge for the nearby creek. However, Tulsa was the only one that survived more than a year. Because of problems with mail being delievered to Oklahoma by mistake, the town was renamed LaBarge.
See Founding of Labarge for more information about Cheryl's ancestors and Labarge.
Labarge Today
The main economic industries in La Barge today are companies that service the oil and gas industries wells in the area. Many people are employed in jobs related to the operation and maintenance of this industry, including heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, equipment maintenance and construction. The town of La Barge has one restaurant, two motels, one churches, two bars, one gas station, two real estate agencies, a library, town hall, town police force, a senior citizen center and volunteer fire and ambulance.

NFL Betting Contests
Finally it's almost football season again and every online sportsbook is offering its version of a sports bettor's fantasy contest and bonus promotions.
There's some real money out there for the person who can handicap better than the rest. But not all contests are created equally, and some promotions may appeal to your style of sports betting while others won't. Let's take a look at what's being offered and how much cash is up for grabs. At Sportsbook.ag
there are a couple of contests being offered. First you can play in the $50K NFL Survival Pool which gives you a chance to turn a $25 buy-in into a $50K payday. The Survival Pool works by betting on one team each week that you think will win outright. If your team wins, you go on in the pool. One loss and you're out. The catch is that you can't pick the same team twice, so you have to find spots where losing teams might get a win and take a chance. You can enter up to 10 teams and the price of entry drops the more times you enter. The other NFL contest at Sportsbook.ag is the $100K Perfect Parlay. Back by popular demand, the six-figure freeroll offers members the chance to go 16 for 16 on any given week to win the grand prize. And they don't cheap out if no gets the perfect parlay during the season - the grand prize will go to the player or players who comes the closest during the season. Bovada offers their bettors bonus cash based on how much NFL handle they have each week. If you bet $20 in handle every week of the NFL season you will get a $50 bonus. Bet $100 or more every week and you get $250 in bonus money. That cash will help to boost the playoff bankroll in the new year. The Bovada Sportsbook also has its own parlay jackpot up for grabs each week. $10K will go to the player who can pick 10 parlay, spread, or totals bets. If you win you'll get your wager winnings plus all or your share of the $10 bonus. Most online sportsbooks are gearing up some type of promotion this time of year to attract your betting dollar. Find the action that works best for you and take advantage of every freeroll situation you come across. It only takes one good week to cash in a big payday.

|Aviva Premiership
|Venue: Welford Road Date: Saturday, 25 November Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
|Coverage: Live on BBC local radio; live scores on the BBC Sport website, app and mobile
Third-placed Leicester have hooker Harry Thacker and prop Pat Cilliers back in the front row as they bid to stretch their six-match Premiership winning run at home to Worcester.
Lock Dom Barrow returns from illness, and Brendon O'Connor starts at flanker.
Worcester, still without Ben Te'o, name an unchanged starting line-up for the first time this season as they aim to build on their first Premiership win.
But they have never won at Welford Road in 122 years of trying.
Since the old Worcester Rugby Club travelled to Leicester in the Midland Counties Cup in 1895, they have now made 14 visits – and lost them all.
While Leicester are weakened by international calls, most notably England trio Jonny May, George Ford and Dan Cole, Mathew Tait returns to the squad after an ankle injury and they also have lock Mike Williams up against his old club.
Match facts
- Leicester's six-match winning run is their Premiership best since the 2013-14 season. They have lost only once at home this season, 27-23 to Bath on the opening weekend.
- Worcester's first Premiership win of the season, at home to Northampton, lifted them off the bottom of the Premiership table to 11th.
- The Warriors have not won away from home in the Premiership since their 21-15 victory at Harlequins in March 2016.
- Worcester have beaten Leicester just twice in their history, both at Sixways, in the Premiership, in 2005 and 2008.
Tigers head coach Matt O'Connor:
"The composure and relentless attitude to keep playing and keep working hard against Sale last week was very good.
"We know it'll take another big effort across the board this weekend. Worcester had a good win over Saints.
"They were very good at the set-piece and they've got some key players back."
Warriors director of rugby Gary Gold told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"I probably over-emphasised on the defence too much at the beginning of the season because we leaked so many tries last year.
"But you don't want the pendulum to swing too far one way. I will take four tries every week, but you don't want to let your foot off the gas from a defensive point of view.
"You don't necessarily want to be conceding five tries every week either and the coaches have done a really good job in recalibrating this."
Worcester: Pennell; Heem, Willison, Mills, Adams; Lance, Hougaard; Waller, Singleton, Schonert, O'Callaghan (capt), Spencer, Faosiliva, Lewis, van Velze.
Replacements: Haupt, Bower, Milasinovich, Scotland-Williamson, Denton, Dowsett, Olver, Hammond.
Leicester: Veainu; Malouf, Smith, Owen, Thompstone; Ford, Harrison; Bateman, Thacker, Cilliers, Barrow (capt), Kitchener, Williams, O'Connor, Mapapalangi.
Replacements: McGuigan, Traynor, Baumann, Fitzgerald, Evans, White, Hardwick, Tait.

Oh no the kids are off school – best make myself invisible. They've got the grooming kit out and the magic mane comb that tidies up my long mane I've been growing all Winter – just as it was getting nice and long and messy as I like it ☹ And, no way they've even got the shampoo brush out – I DO NOT NEED A BATH – I had one last year, I really could cry!
All this means, it's that time of year again – Easter, now to lots of people that means chocolate and chill out family time; but to me it means my humans are off school, the weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and the little darlings want to ride me 🙁 Now I don't mind a little fuss, treats and grooming but I'm not so keen when out pops a new show rug and the trailer arrives on the yard. That means hard work and being a good well behaved pony for the little humans.
You will see from the photo, I did try to take it off!! I managed to escape briefly, I kicked and bucked and had just managed to get a good grip with my teeth when head human appeared with a trug that rattled, I'm afraid to say I just couldn't help myself, banana treats mmmm. Off I followed…
So back to being the perfect pony 🙂 Bathing, grooming, tidying, riding and off to the show we go!
They have given me an Easter egg though because I am such a perfect pony!!!

The mens's club soccer team and Akron Against Cancer held a charity tournament where all the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. This was the second event like this as the women's varsity soccer team held this same event last semester.
I got a chance to speak with assistant coach Josh Kay, who spoke about the event and how much money was raised. To this Josh said, "The event went great, the weather was a big factor in that. We raised nearly $500 after 10 teams had joined."
In regards to whether this will be an occurring thing for semesters to come Josh said, "We are already planning for next semester. We had a chance to learn and look forward to improve based on the experience we gained from this event."
To understand the club more, I asked Josh what the club team is about and how to join as a player or as part of the administration. Some of the benefits he listed included high competition levels, continuing to play soccer at a high level, and getting a chance to gain real world experience as an officer or coach.
The team labeled this event a success, and as mentioned look forward to hosting it once again next semester.
For the overall club, it is currently their offseason, but information on tryouts for anybody interested in a player or administrative role will be posted in the coming months.
If you want to contact the team about future events or for information on joining, you can email them at email@example.com. Also, you can give them a follow or contact them on their twitter, @UAMensClubSoccer.

Well I went to check in to our flights (flying out 19th) and lo and behold ds's passport is out of date. This just doesn't happen to me, I'm so organised (normally), I'm still in shock. So before anyone criticises, i'm berating myself enough, so please, constructure advice only. According to the dfa website its appointment only but appts are only available on the 16th & it takes 3 days to issue. My question is, is there no walk-in office at Molesworth street anymore? ie where you used to be able to queue. We are 3 hrs from Dublin so I can't just pop in there to see. They're not taking telephone calls & I've emailed but not holding out much hope of a reply :(
Happymam - I think that fast track system was abolished in 2009 or so.
Thanks happymam will check that out now!
Hi Obi, never heard of heymammy! Will have a look now. Thanks.
It might be worth asking your local representatives to help fast track application for you,
Under the system, TDs and senators can leave passport applications given to them by members of the public in a drop box in Leinster House. These applications are processed by a special unit at the passport office and the passport is issued within five days -- half the time a regular application would take.
Don't know if this is still the practice, worth asking though?
KateT do you post on heymammy.com at all as there is a poster on there shivvy who works in the passport office and is great for advice.
Thanks ladies, I'm in the Northwest so Cork's not really a runner.
Cork Office is for Munster only applicants as far as I know..Where are you KateT?
The dublin office is definitely by appointment only now, no way around it as far as I know so maybe the cork office would be better if they still allow it rather than travelling all the way up and not being allowed in.
Thanks ritaok, that's what I was thinking. It would be easier for me or DH to take a day off this week to travel, we'll both be under pressure at work next week clearing the decks for hols!. Will try to find someone who can check for me (used to work right beside it and it never happened to me then!) & thanks for tip re phone. I've also just set up a twitter account coz they seem to respond very fast on there, although I haven't a clue how to tweet, waiting for dd to rise out of the bed to help me lol ;)
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
In the cork office you can still walk in and queue although it is not "advertised" and they don't really like it!! So surely there has to be a way to go In there? Do you know anyone living in Dublin that could pop in there to check?
Also try to ring them at exactly 9 in the morning. You can't get onto them at any other time ime. Hope you get sorted
Thanks Obi, just went back to look at it, in my panic I thought it was the 16th, but I got the evening of the 15th. (Went in again after & it's the 16th though, so maybe I got a cancellation?) it doesn't ask for a specific travel date, it gives a window (10th June - 24th) So we will just have to go back a few days later to collect. Gonna be a mental week (&we're both supposed to be working !) i'm usually the anal person with all the boarding passes printed by now & documents in order of use in a folder., don't know wtf happened this year :/
Make the appointment for 16th (before it's gone!). You may need to expect to have to change flight dates though..
No you have to make an appointment and then all going well they give you a time a few days later to come back and collect. Think you may have to change flight dates KateT.
I thought on the appointment system you put in the date of your flight so they would give you a date sooner?

Which Breed Sounds Good?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel -- These dogs are small and adapt well to their surroundings. They are friendly, and want lots of love and companionship. They're in the toy group.
Cavapoo -- The breed above mixed with a poodle.
Cockapoo -- This is a cross between Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. Cocker Spaniels are supposed to have a bad temperament, partly because they're so inbred. That's just what I've heard. If you wanted one of these, I would get to know the temperament of the parents (and past litters if possible) to make sure you know what you're getting.
Even better might be a Cavachon, which is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixed with a Bichon Frise. The Bichon Frise also has the hypo-allergenic fur, and from what I've read, I think I would prefer their temperament to a poodle's.
Ok, I just got completely overwhelmed by all the breeds out there. I came up with 4 by only looking at Spaniels. I would suggest first, taking this breed quiz, second, crossing off the list given after the quiz all the breeds you know you don't want (based on size, temperament, looks, etc.), including any breeds within the hybrids suggested, then third, giving me the list to hack down further. That at least can give you some idea of where to start. Since you're not planning to get a dog for a long time, that gives you plenty of time to leisurely hunt around for a good breed. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the breeds out there, so these quizzes help narrow it down (there are other websites with similar questionnaires). If there's a type of dog you tend towards (like I tended towards the Spaniel just now), let me know that too.
Or, you know, just get a labrodoodle or goldendoodle and be done with it. ;p

i like the cavachon and they looked good in your post and that chick talked all this shit about hybrid dogs (if you inbreed dogs isn't it more likely that a puppy will inherit health problems that BOTH parents are more likely to have if they're both the same breed?) and now i'm just tired thinking about it because apparently my dog could be a serial killer dog if i get a mixed breed.
i think i'm gonna get one of those robot dogs. Or I'll have some kids. Those don't require all this research, right? You just pop them out and then make sure you leave them some canned tuna when you go out. Oh, and you can't forget to leave them a can opener. See? I'm already a good mom.

LOL! OMG, I almost peed my pants!
I don't know much about the health of mixed vs. purebred, but it's possible that if both parents have genetic problems, they could compound in their offspring. Of course, I think the opposite could also be true then. I just don't know. :(
Hey, if research is the only thing ever keeping you from a dog, you just let me know and I'll do all the research for you. You know I love that sh*t. ;)

Psh! I meant dog research! I don't know nothin' about no lawyering! Hell, I don't even do the research I should for my own job! I'm supposed to be reading technical magazines and keeping an eye out for new technologies. No thanks!

A government audit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says the agency may be missing chances to identify and detain known or suspected terrorists.
The audit by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Homeland Security found at least one violation of ICE's own screening process for identifying known or suspected terrorists in every case file it sampled. OIG concluded the violations were due to limited program oversight and weak management controls.
ICE agreed with recommendations in the audit. ICE is now working to expand screening to include people who are under supervision, but not in ICE custody. The agency also plans improve access to information at field offices and bolster internal controls.

Engineers and architects have choices of the materials and products they use to design. When it comes to environmental aspects, an engineer or an architect's must use such material, products and design which would be beneficial to the environment and from where it benefits to the people. Here in this paper we are going to represent the work of such building construction which is termed as greenbuilding construction. This tries to eliminate the problems related to different issues for example environment, which are mentioned in this paper and also solution to the problems. Many new technology and improved methods are introduced in the field of construction which surely helps in making good environmental conditions. In this paper an overview of how different methods, products and designs are using nowadays and which should be used further are presented.
Analysis of some biochemical parameters of plants as indicator of air pollution
Analysis of some biochemical parameters of plants as indicator of air pollution
Preeti Pandey Pant and A.K. Tripathi
Plants are the only living organisms which have to suffer a lot from automobile exhaust pollution and industrial pollution because they remain static at their habitat. The present experiment was done to determine the impact of air pollution on species like angifera indica, Linn., Cassia fistula, Linn., and Terminalia arjuna, which were exposed to different air pollution load for short duration (Active biomonitoring). The biochemical parameters of the plants were studies in both the sites and compared with each other. The variation in biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, protein, soluble sugar, free amino acid, ascorbic acid, nitrate reductase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in the leaves were found to be pollution load dependent. The variations suggesting the activation of protective mechanism of these plants under air pollution stress, and also the plant make physiological adjustments to compensate for that environmental stress. Just by analyzing these biochemical indicators air qualities can also be assessed.

Amino acid characteristics of multifloral honey of indigenous bee apis dorsata f. and apis cerana indica from Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada districts of Karnataka
Balasubramanyam M.V., Ramesha Iyyanahalli and Jayaram, K.M.
Multifloral honey of giant honey bee, A. dorsata (wild) and Indian hivebee,was collected from the Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and uttara Kannada districts of Karnataka and six amino acids characteristics were determined during April 2011 to March 2012. proline (P), lysine (K), glutamic acid (E), aspart in honey of wild and apiary honeybees. Proline (89.10 μ gms) was maximal from Dakshina Kannada in A. cerana honey while minimal of (83.01 μ gms) proline was found in A.dorsata honey in Udupi. Similarly A.dorsata honey had lowest of histidine (5.97 μ gms) and highest of (7.24 μ gms) in A.cerana from Udupi and Dakshina Kannada respectively. gysine (45.12 μ gms) was maximum from Dakshina Kannada in A. cerana honey while minimum of (38.70 μ gms) lysine w honey in Udupi. Similarly A.dorsata honey had lowest of (17.16 μ gms, 15.95 μ gms and 8.52 μ gms) and highest of (20.95 μ gms,.18.13 μ gms and 10.90 μ gms) glutamic acid, aspartic acid and valine in A.cerana from Udupi and Dakshina Kannada respectively. Proline, lysine and glutamic acid of wild and apiary honey was significant at 1% (p<0.01) level, while aspartic acid, valine and histidine of honey of both species of honeybee was not significant at 1% (p<0.01) in Udupi, Dakshina Kanna and Uttara Kannada. All the six amino acids tested in A.dorsata and A.cerana displayed quantitative fluctuations in different geographical areas which are discussed in ensuing paper.

In India alone huge vegetation is destroyed every year to manufacture paper which is used as base material for retaining copies of the documents. Other environment hazards associated with the copying industry is large consumption of toner and power. Receive infrastructures to store the documents, that too seldom been retrievable at least in the case of public authorities. The proposed solution not only overcomes these issues but also helps in better service delivery, enhanced security of documents and profitable business opportunities to SMEs particularly in rural areas. Sustainability of CSCs and Rural IT kiosk is of great concern, as long term support by government would not be possible, and these establishments/ entrepreneurs hav enhanced service delivery and increased footfalls. Such a solution has to be reliable one and information security has to be dealt on priority.

Biosorption of chromium ions from aqueous solution by using Terminalia catappa L.: Equilibrium and Kinetic studies
L.Nageswara Rao and G.Prabhakar
The biosorption of chromium ions from aqueous solution by Terminalia catappa L. was studied in a batch adsorption system as a function of pH, contact time, chromium ion concentration, biosorbent dosage and biosorbent size. The biosorption capacities and racatappa L. were evaluated. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption models were applied to describe the isotherms and isotherm constants. It was determined that the best fitted adsorption isotherm models were obtained in the order: sangmuir>Temkin>Freundlich isotherms. The kineticexperimental data were properly correlated with the second

Risks for Children in Cyberspace: A Survey
Divya Kavdia
The internet is the valuable, essential and critical tool for children, which he and communicate with others. However, learning with internet can pose many hazards, children may become victims of harmful websites, pornography, inappropriate content, chat rooms, violence promoting sites, cyber bullying etc. The impact of these can lead to addiction of spending time on internet & can spoil the child's psychological development. With the continued growth of ch interest in internet and cyber space, it is assumed that this situation will get worsen day by day. For this purpose many government acts like COPPA protect children from these threats. This p to children in cyberspace. It also focuses on the awareness, concerns and attitude for child online protection. Preventive measures to be taken by parents, Teachers and others to protect childre developing tools to minimize risk are also being highlighted in this paper.

A story should do something. Create outrage, understanding, compassion, or grace. This is my sister's story and how she was able to accept grace and peace.
This week I viewed a video on Story Center called "Taffy." The author, Shedrick Wicks tells a story of love and companionship. After moving to Denver, Wicks found himself to be lonely and ended up adopting a cat named Taffy. The story is endearing and the viewer can't help but root for the duo. I evaluated this piece for story, writing, and economy.
My momma always told me to mind my own business and to never eavesdrop. Today though, I purposefully listened in to random conversations to gain a fun snippet. My mom would NOT be proud! The Daily Create posed an assignment where eavesdropping was the name of the game. I was to take a snippet of an overheard conversation and use it to inspire a fun epigraph!
There is a strong possibility I am behind on the creation of my digital story, but I have just now settled on a focus. I know, I know, I've had weeks to figure this out. I've truly been struggling with my chosen theme and had a bit of an epiphany last week. My true focus has been learning how to tell an excellent digital story, and how to integrate storytelling into the classroom.
This week, I read a few articles about how to create a story board and the purpose behind it. Rooted in animation, story boards are a cost effective way to communicate a vision and story before creating a costly film. I am trying to make sense of whether or not I need to lay out a storyboard for myself. I have concluded that even a brief sketch will ensure I am communicating the theme and message of my story in an effective manner.
The article I would like to feature explains how storyboarding can be used not only for film creation, but in the classroom as well. I have used storyboards in my own classroom, and appreciated the reiteration of their effectiveness in varying settings. Creating a visual, students communicate their thoughts clearly, when words are often hard to find or are not descriptive. Storyboards are also effective tools to support language learners and enrich vocabulary comprehension. I would recommend this article as a very brief overview of the uses of creating storyboards, as well as a resource for how to get started with creating your own storyboards.
A grim silence lingered, excess from the cries that preoccupied the air moments earlier. Shattered from an exhausting battle, neither had won, both distressed from defeat. They lay down their arms and lay down their persons. Absorbed slowly by the damp earth, entrenched along the pin straight path that broke the meandering road between Kald and Hirane.
Violet halted her mare after they reached a pause in the slithering road. Twists and turns disoriented the slight girl and demanded her to rest the wrenching bowels that displayed her unease. Thankful for the respite, the cropped black mane crouched for drop of water from the stream that never left the road's side. The mare bowed her head next to the girl for refreshment as well. Soaking her hand in the cool brook, Violet pressed her palm to the back of her neck, relieving herself of the nausea that was bubbling up. She tilted back on her heels, landing in a tranquil heap at the base of a decaying pine.
The olive windows slowly faded as Violet's long top lashes inched closer to meet their kin at the base of her eye. Breath slowed and met the rhythm of the nattering stream and chorus of the wisps of late summer air that carried occasional icicles insinuating the changing season. A prolonged breeze caught the attention of Violet, requiring more than just a fleeting recognition. She pried open her resting eyes and was met with a disturbing flurry of dust, feathers, and possible leftovers of other horses that have passed through. Swatting with perturbed effort, her flailing arms elbowed the unstable pine behind her. Loosening the unhinged roots, the small, by surrounding comparison, tree collapsed with relief onto the path. Stumbling into the pyre hole of her previous stand, Violet caught herself trying to avoid gauging root spears that were left from the ruin.
Hands grasping at the clammy, turned soil, her grip failed to support her momentum. Flattening into the cavity where the tree once stood, Violet slowly urged her body to turn over and regain its composure. A heavy weight pressed against her back, denying her efforts to stand, forced Violet back into the hole. The roots started to creep towards her limbs, and towards their broken comrades of the fallen tree. She strained and cried for help, but her attacker kept her restrained. The corroded pine began to erect from the pull of the desperate roots, eager to join as a whole again. A fresh life, a fresh sacrifice. All on the road from Kald to Hirane.
#dailycreate #tdc1762
Every week I've been grappling with my theme for this course. I settled on learning photography, which has been a lot of fun, but hasn't created meaning for me. I tend to be over analytical with connotations. I dissect language, I tear apart novels, and I examine how communication in all forms affects my understanding of myself and universal truths. The further I spiral into the world of digital storytelling, the more I am realizing that my theme hasn't really been photography, it has been understanding the power of storytelling. All along, I have been internalizing how my language, and that of my students, creates meaning through powerful expression. It has therefore been determined that I can let go of a hobby for not and focus on how I can be an effective storyteller.
This week's reading from Joe Lambert's book Digital Storytelling: Capturing Lives, Creating Community describes the essential aspects that one must consider when writing a powerful digital story. With my actual theme being in focus, I appreciated the presentation of features that I will need to carefully consider as I become an impactful storyteller. Change is a continual theme that a storyteller must consider. Lambert notes, "We hear the author describe the events and issues of the story in a way that is only theirs to provide, that the perspective feels like it emerged from honest self- reflection," (2). The honest reflection insights emotion in the viewer and can impact the audience. "Meaning and emotion are intertwined," (5). The realization of meaning is where the true power of a story resides.
Aside from my own realization of where my learning and reflection has sat, I have been able to take away technical considerations as well. Lambert defines how to properly use explicit and implicit imagery to marry with the verbal narrative. He points out how and why one may consider music alongside a spoken story line. Having this article as a reference as I begin to hash out details of my own digital story will be very helpful. This is also another example of scholarship that I can present to my colleagues as they consider incorporating digital storytelling into their classrooms.
I'm about to be cliche and refer to an old adage, but when you think about it, there is a reason the sayings are universal and prevailing. A picture is worth a thousand words is what rings true as I was watching this week's digital story. One can quite literally use a thousand words to describe what one picture represents. A theme, a voice, a feeling can be expressed in a single photograph in a way that words cannot singularly sustain. The importance of photography in a multimedia presentation cannot be underestimated. For the sake of time and impact, photography can be used to support an entire narrative.
The author of Active Stills: Photography for Social Change in Israel and Palestine uses his photography to incite reflection and as a tool for the community in which he takes and posts his photographs. The images are powerful and the story of his purpose and aim is told through the striking pictures. I reviewed this piece based on economy, media development, and organization.

Royal food from Forbidden City sold online
Royal food from the Forbidden City is now available for purchase at Tmall, a major Chinese online marketplace, as a part of new steps for the Palace Museum to develop its cultural creative products.
A food tasting event was held at the Baoyun Building in the Palace Museum on Sunday. During the event neostrata gel plus, the museum announced that its flagship food store "Regard from the Emperor" is officially available online at Tmall, and a series of food made according to ancient recipes during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) are now on sale.
The food products are innovatively themed on the 24 Solar Terms, or the ancient classics. For example, a porridge powder made of lotus seed and ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine is inspired by the 24 Solar Terms. Cookies were created based on the ancient bookHai Cuo Tu bicelle b5 gel, which contains pictures of more than 300 types of deep sea creatures, as drawn by Qing Dynasty painter Nie Huang, along with a record of their biological habits.
Furthermore, the brown sugar and ginger tea, which was often used by the Empress Dowager Ci Xi of the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese chestnut favored by Emperor Qianlong can also be purchased at the flagship store. Foods served in the palace are always made from high-quality ingredients. For example, the ginger is from the high mountains in Yunnan province, which is organic, and the chestnuts are from Yanshan Mountain in Hebei province, which is where royal chestnuts were grown during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing dynasties.
According to Lou Wei, the deputy curator the Palace Museum, the food are all created and produced by time-honored brands like Shou Quan Zhai, and marks an attempt to combine China's traditional food culture with people's online shopping habits 72 hours in Hong Kong.
