Need Good Project Ideas
i feel the need to get crafty again. i'm just itching to do something fun. the problem is i don't know what to do. i've seen a lot of good projects that other people have done lately and i think maybe i've seen too many good ones. maybe i'll do all of them and give them out as christmas gifts this year. that sounds like a good idea. if you see any good (cheap) projects send me a link!

Overview: Stephanie Meyer's latest novel, The Chemist, tells the tale of a young woman with many names—though we'll use Alex to keep it simple here. She is an ex-super-secret-agent (and professional torturer) who 'knew too much' and became a liability in the eyes of her employers, forcing her to go on the run to survive.
When we meet Alex, she is constantly on the run and never uses the same name or stays in one place for long. When her former boss approaches her to offer a ticket out—one final case that, if completed, will clear her name for good—she knows it's her only chance of survival; that is, if she can even trust the information she has been given.
The novel follows Alex's impossible journey to beat the agency at their own game, exploring the advantages and pitfalls of her uniquely specialized skill set, and, along the way, meeting & falling for the man of her dreams.
Thoughts: Stephanie Meyer is really good at writing the same story over & over again: same characters, same struggles, with a slightly different twist. Someone is being hunted & running, another character is in need of protection, and **SPOLER ALERT** the two star-crossed-lovers overcome all odds to survive & live happily ever after together.
For all of you Twi-Hards that think I'm being overly critical, I've created a comparison chart to further exemplify this lack of variation. I'll bet you will be able to match each row with the respective book described EVEN IF you haven't read a single one of them!!
1. Twilight Saga
2. The Host
3. The Chemist
All jokes aside, it's not just the lack of original content that causes problems in the novel:
Recommendation: Hard Pass. Say what you'd like about Ms. Meyer, but any writer with a series that achieves the fame and following of the Twilight Saga has my complete respect (except E.L. James, for obvious reasons). I was excited to see how Meyer would navigate her pivot from YA into adult-fiction: I wanted to like this book, and if I'm being honest, I was really trying to like this book…
But there is nothing to like.
The novel moves at a glacial speed, the character development is all over the place, and there is absolutely no romantic tension. The only saving grace is not making this a "choose-a-brother" love-triangle story, which I worried was happening, because then I'd have nothing nice to say about the book at all.
If you're a huge Stephanie Meyer fan, don't read this to save yourself the disappointment. If you'd like to try out one of her books, read The Host... or wait until she comes out with another one, that FINGERS CROSSED, will restore my faith in her writing capabilities again.

TONKAWA, Okla. - Residents in Tonkawa were confused and alarmed Wednesday when they saw a man, who was arrested for a violent crime just a few days before, driving alone in a police vehicle. The police chief said he was just helping the man's business.
"He said business had been down a little bit so I said, 'Hey, I need some cars detailed,'" said Tonkawa Police Chief John Whitham.
Whitham hired long-time acquaintance, Christopher Kesinger, to do some work on his police car Wednesday.
"He came and picked it up, and detailed it for me. It's sitting outside. It looks like he did a really good job," said Whitham.
But, that decision was immediately under scrutiny.
Just a few days before, Tonkawa police arrested Kesinger at his home.
According to the affidavit, Kesinger is accused of strangling and slapping a person during an argument.
On Tuesday, he was charged with domestic abuse.
When neighbors saw the accused man driving a police vehicle alone, they told News 4 it was not only confusing, but alarming, and even threatening.
The chief said if Kesinger was convicted, it would be a different story.
"Until then, it's just a judgment call," Whitham said. "It wasn't like he was out joyriding or anything, and I've known him a long time."
The chief said he removed everything from the vehicle first, including guns, handcuffs, and evidence kits.
"It was from the police station straight to this shop, and from this shop, straight to the police station," Kesinger told News 4. "No driving around."
Kesinger said he can't understand what the big deal is.
"I think there's being more made out of it than there really is because, just because I've been accused of it, it didn't happen. There's just accusations out there," Kesinger said.
The chief agrees, saying it's been blown out of proportion.
"That's the kind of business he operates," Whitham said. "I think people are just too easily offended in this day and age."
However, he said if he continues to utilize Kesinger's services, he may drop off the vehicles in the future.

Everyone knows that sticks and stones may break our bones, but did you know that menopause increases your risk for bone loss and osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become thin, weak and brittle? Of the 10 million Americans that have osteoporosis, over 80% are women. Why?
To begin with, women tend to have smaller, lighter skeletons than men. So less bone mass contributes to a higher incidence of fracture in women. During menopause, estrogen (which protects your bones by slowing tissue breakdown) decreases sharply which can result in low bone density. And, a recent study found potential links between psychosocial stress and bone loss among postmenopausal women. A poor social life and unhealthy relationships were associated with greater decreases in femoral neck bone mass density and decreases in total hip bone mass density.
Traditional thought held that bone loss and osteoporosis were an inevitable part of aging. Luckily, we now know that doesn't have to be the case. While bone loss as you age is normal, we know more about ways to reduce your risk for osteoporosis.
Tips for Bone Health
You are what you eat. This classic adage holds true for bone health. Minerals are incorporated into your bones during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Once you reach 30 years of age, you have achieved peak bone mass. If not enough bone mass is created during this time or bone loss occurs later in life, you have an increased risk of developing fragile bones that break easily. Focus on eating calcium-rich foods like low-fat dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese) and dark leafy greens (bok choy, broccoli, collard greens, kale). Also, talk to your healthcare provider about Vitamin D to help the body absorb calcium from these foods. It's found in few foods (oily fish, mushrooms and eggs), so supplementation may be recommended.
Weight-bearing exercises. Walking is a classic weight-bearing exercise. Take the scenic route, climb some stairs or invite a friend for a morning stroll. Dancing is another great way to feel good, have fun and strengthen your bones. Resistance exercises like lifting weights or using elastic exercise bands strengthen both your bones and your muscles. Tai Chi and yoga are relaxing physical activities that improve your strength, posture, and balance – all of which can help decrease your risk of falls and fractures. It's never too late to feel strong and powerful!
Break your bad habits, not your bones. Cigarette smoking has long been identified as an increased risk factor for osteoporosis, as the tobacco decreases bone mass density. And, heavy alcohol consumption compromises bone health because it interferes with the absorption of both calcium and Vitamin D. Alcohol also has a negative impact on gait and balance, which can lead to an increased likelihood of falls and broken bones.
Falling is for leaves. Safety first. Each year, about one-third of all people over 65 will suffer from a preventable fall. Avoid hazards:
Not sure if you're at risk for osteoporosis? Talk to your healthcare provider about bone density testing. It includes painless, bone image screening – basically like an x-ray – and gives you a snapshot of your bone health!

Work on the first of a new class of US aircraft carrier, designed to maintain America's superiority in naval power-projection for the next four decades, has ground to a halt after problems with its magnetic lifts meant it was unable to hoist armaments on to its flight deck.
The 11 special weapon-carrying lifts designed for the US Navy's new $13 billion super-carrier USS Gerald R Ford should have been bigger, better and significantly faster than the cable lifts now in use.
But only two of the lifts, which cost $4.5 million each, have been installed. A team of experts has been called in to try to resolve technical issues that have afflicted the navy's most expensive warship programme.
The lifts play a crucial role in a carrier's operational life, bringing up munitions from the lower decks to arm its jets, either the new F-35 joint strike fighters or F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, and their speed directly affects how many missions can be flown.
In theory the electromagnetic lifts on the Gerald R Ford should be capable of lifting 24,000lbs of weapons at 150ft per minute, compared with the present cable lifts on the Nimitz class carrier, which can move 10,000lbs of munitions at 100ft per minute.
A spokesman for US naval sea systems command said the "advanced weapons elevators" had been developed on board the ship without any land-based prototype. The first two installed had revealed problems with the doors and hatches, as well as software issues. The lift was a "first-of-kind development" and "physical adjustments" had been required to ensure it moved up and down smoothly, he said. (end of excerpt)

Indeed, it has been a long time since I have posted in comparison to what I have been doing. My one creative writing a day has stopped happening. Even so, I am still writing and have another one I will post in the very near future. Life has been interesting and causing me to look deeper into myself than one would ever want to do. Some of my writings capture the essence of what is in me, but never to its full effect. At times I am hesitant to post, for it may only give a small glimpse of me in that moment. I fear that the reader will misconstrue that little bit of me to be the whole of me. As many of you who do follow this blog most likely have caught within my writings, there is something that hurts that lives in me. Do not be alarmed, for with that is something of greatest possession over me. That is, the love God has for me and the peace He has given me with the path having led to formation for religious life. No, I don't know what will happen next. God could keep me here or He could send me on another path.
These are just a few of the things I want to share with my readers. I am forever grateful that people read my blog and can be touched in a unique way here. Do not be afraid to comment, even if only to put a smiley face. It is good to know I am connected with people from all over. Happy blogging, God Bless, and may peace be in your lives.

FDA Guide On Approving Medical Devices
FDA Guidance On Approving Medical Devices
New FDA guidance on considerations used in device approval, de novo decisions
Clinical data, risks, benefits and patient risk tolerance outlined in process
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today published a first-of-a-kind guidance for medical device manufacturers, describing how the benefits and risks of certain medical devices are considered during pre-market review.
Premarket approval (PMA) is the FDA process of scientific and regulatory review used to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Class III medical devices. Class III devices are those that support or sustain human life, are of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury. The de novo process is available for low- and moderate-risk devices that have been found not substantially equivalent (NSE) to existing devices.
When evaluating PMA applications or de novo petitions, the FDA relies upon valid scientific evidence to assess safety and effectiveness. Both clinical and non-clinical data play a role in FDA's benefit-risk determinations.
The guidance includes a worksheet for device reviewers that incorporates the principal factors that influence benefit-risk determinations, such as the type, magnitude and duration of a risk or benefit, the probability that a patient will experience the risk, patient tolerance for risk, availability of alternative treatments, and the value the patient places on treatment.
- outlines the systematic approach FDA device reviewers take when making benefit-risk determinations during the premarket review process
- provides manufacturers a helpful tool that explains the various principal factors considered by the agency during the review of PMA applications, the regulatory pathway for high-risk medical devices, and de novo petitions, a regulatory pathway available for novel, low- to moderate-risk devices
- describes an approach that takes into account patients' tolerance for risks and perspectives on benefits, as well as the novelty of the device.
"This guidance clarifies this process for industry, which will provide manufacturers with greater predictability, consistency and transparency in FDA decision-making while allowing manufacturers and the FDA to use a common framework for benefit-risk determinations," said Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., director of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
The FDA will also increase the transparency of the decision-making processes by describing the worksheet analysis in the Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data for PMAs and the decision summary review memos for de novo decisions.
"In addition to bringing clarity to our decision making for industry, this guidance will provide our reviewers with uniform and consistent guidelines to assess probable benefits and risks," said Shuren.
CDRH will train medical officers, review staff managers and device reviewers on the guidance to assure the guidance is applied consistently to submissions and petitions. CDRH reviewers will begin applying the guidance to incoming PMA and de novo submissions and to submissions already under review with decisions beginning on May 1.
The FDA is also developing external training modules to help industry and device sponsors understand how CRDH will apply the guidance.

Medical Device Guidance Documents
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

The Ultimate Guide To Sharps Safety
Needlestick/Sharps Injuries
Needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries which expose workers to bloodborne pathogens continue to be a significant hazard for hospital employees. OSHA estimates that 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Bloodborne pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus(HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and others.
Any worker handling sharp devices or equipment such as scalpels, sutures, hypodermic needles, blood collection devices, or phlebotomy devices is at risk. Nursing staff are most frequently injured. Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINET) data shows that needlestick injuries occur most frequently in the operating room and in patient rooms.

Bloodborne Pathogens
Definitions for bloodborne pathogens, other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), and occupational exposure are found in the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, Definitions 29 CFR 1910.1030(b).Potential HazardExposure to blood and OPIM from contaminated sharps injuries.
Possible Solutions
Follow the requirements of the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and implement engineering and work practice controls to minimize exposure to blood and bloodborne pathogens.
- Engineering and Work Practice Controls must be the primary means used to eliminate or minimize exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Where engineering controls will reduce employee exposure either by removing, eliminating, or isolating the hazard, they must be used, and documented in the Exposure Control Plan (ECP). [29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv), 29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv)(B), 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(i), OSHA Directive CPL 02-02-069[CPL 2-2.69].
- Engineering Controls are measures (e.g., sharps disposal containers, self-sheathing needles, safer medical devices, such as sharps injury protections and needleless systems) that isolate or remove the bloodborne pathogens hazard from the workplace [29 CFR 1910.1030(b)].
- NOTE: The exposure control plan must document consideration and implementation of appropriate commercially available and effective engineering controls designed to eliminate or minimize exposure [OSHA Directive OSHA Directive CPL 02-02-069 [CPL 2-2.69]], and revised Standard Exposure Control Plan [29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv)(B)].
- Work Practice Controls are measures that reduce the likelihood of exposure by altering the manner in which a task is performed (e.g., prohibiting recapping of needles by a two-handed technique).
- Engineering Controls are measures (e.g., sharps disposal containers, self-sheathing needles, safer medical devices, such as sharps injury protections and needleless systems) that isolate or remove the bloodborne pathogens hazard from the workplace [29 CFR 1910.1030(b)].
- The revised Bloodborne Pathogens and NeedleStick Prevention Standard requirements (effective date April 18, 2001) include:
- The review and update of the Exposure Control Plan must reflect changes in technology that eliminate or reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens and document annually consideration and implementation of appropriate commercially available and effective safer medical devices designed to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure [29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv)(A), 29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv)(B)].
- Employers must get input in the identification, evaluation and selection of engineering and work practice controls from employees responsible for direct patient care in [29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(v)]. This input must be documented.
- Employers must maintain a log of injuries from contaminated sharps 29 CFR 1910.1030(h)(5)(i).
- The review and update of the Exposure Control Plan must reflect changes in technology that eliminate or reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens and document annually consideration and implementation of appropriate commercially available and effective safer medical devices designed to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure [29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv)(A), 29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(1)(iv)(B)].
- The Recordkeeping Standard 29 CFR 1904.8 also requires needlestick injuries to be recorded on the OSHA 300 Log. This includes all work related needlestick injuries and cuts from sharp objects that are contaminated with another person's blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM).
- If this recorded employee injury is later diagnosed with an infectious bloodborne disease the OSHA 300 log must be updated.
- Compliance with Universal Precautions (an infection control principle that treats all human blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) as infectious) [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(1)].
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Engineering and work practice controls shall be used to eliminate or minimize employee exposure. Where occupational exposure remains after institution of these controls, PPE shall also be used [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(i)].
- Worker training in appropriate engineering controls and work practices, to eliminate or minimize worker exposure. [29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)].
- Proper handling and containerization of sharps.
- Hepatitis B vaccine and vaccination series made available to all employees with occupational exposure.
- Post-exposure evaluation and follow-up, including post-exposure prophylaxis when appropriate [29 CFR 1910.1030(f)(3)].
Potential Hazard
Exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) because of:
- Unsafe needle devices.
- Improper handling and disposal of needles and other sharps.
Possible Solutions
- Use safer needle devices and needleless devices to decrease needlestick or other sharps exposures. See Safer Needle Devices.
- Properly handle and dispose of needles and other sharps according to the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.
- Handling Needles/Sharps:
- Do not bend, recap, or remove contaminated needles and other sharps unless such an act is required by a specific procedure or has no feasible alternative [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(vii)].
- Do not shear or break contaminated sharps. (OSHA defines contaminated as the presence or the reasonably anticipated presence of blood or other potentially infectious materials on an item or surface) [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(vii)].
- Containerization:
- Have needle containers available near areas where needles may be found. [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(iii)(A)(2)].
- Discard contaminated sharps immediately [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(iii)(A)(1)] or as soon as feasible into appropriate containers.
- Handling Needles/Sharps:
- Sharps containers [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(iii)(A)(1)], must be:
- Closable, puncture-resistant, and leak-proof on sides and bottom.
- Accessible, maintained upright, and not allowed to overfill.
- Labeled or color coded according to 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(1)(i)
- Colored red or labeled with the biohazard symbol [4 KB GIF*]
- Labeled in fluorescent orange or orange-red, with lettering and symbols in a contrasting color [29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(1)(i)(C)]. Red bags or containers may be substituted for labels [29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(1)(i)(E)].
Additional Information:
- Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINET). International Healthcare Worker Safety Center, U.Va. Health System. Conducts epidemiological research on needlesticks and blood exposures, advocates for a safer health care workplace and provides resources:
- Fact Sheet: Percutaneous Injuries From Suture Needles [83 KB PDF, 1 page]. (2006, June). Identifies suture needles are the main source of needlesticks to OR personnel, causing 51% of all sharps injuries in surgical settings.
- Checklist for Sharps Injury Prevention [23 KB PDF, 2 pages].
- Used Disposable Razors that could be contaminated with blood.
- I.V. Connector Systems that use needles to connect I.V. setups.
- Used Disposable Razors should be considered contaminated waste and disposed of properly in appropriate sharps containers.
- I.V. connector systems: Use needleless connector systems with I.V. setups to minimize occupational exposure to needles and bloodborne pathogens. Avoid using needles where safe and effective alternatives are available.
Most needlestick injuries result from unsafe needle devices rather than carelessness by healthcare workers (JSHQ, 1998, Summer).Safer needle devices have built-in safety control devices, such as those that use a self-sheathing needle, to help prevent injuries before, during, and after use through safer design features.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated in March of 2000 that 62 to 88 percent of sharps injuries in the hospital setting could be preventing by using safer medical devices.
Potential Hazard
According to the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, employers with the help of employees, must select safer needle devices to use in work environments.
- There are different types of safety features that are available for safer needle devices such as:
- Needleless devices
- Passive safety features:remain in effect before, during and after use.
- Integrated safety design: have a safety feature that is built in as an integral part of the device and cannot be removed. This design feature is usually preferred.
- Active devices:require the worker to activate the safety mechanism.
- Accessory safety devices: have safety features that are external to the device and must be carried to, or be temporarily or permanently fixed to, the point of use. This design is dependent on employee compliance and according to some researchers, is less desirable.
- Desirable Characteristics of Safety Devices include:
- The device is needleless.
- The safety feature is an integral part of the device.
- The device is easy to use and practical.
- The device performs reliably.
- The safety feature cannot be deactivated and remains protective through disposal.
- The devices work effectively and reliably, and are acceptable to the healthcare worker, and do not adversely affect patient care.
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for clearing medical devices for marketing in the US. It recommends safer needle devices with a fixed safety feature that:
- Provides a barrier between the hands and the needle after use; the safety feature should allow or require the worker's hands to remain behind the needle at all times.
- Is an integral part of the device and not an accessory.
- Is in effect before disassembly and remains in effect after disposal to protect users and trash handlers, and for environmental safety.
- Is as simple as possible, and requires little or no training to use effectively.
- Examples of Safety Device Designs
There are many types of safety devices. Some examples of safety device designs include:
- Needleless Connector Systems: Needleless connectors for IV delivery systems (e.g., blunt cannula for use with pre-pierced ports and valved connectors that accept tapered or luer ends of IV tubing) (Figure 1).
- Self-Sheathing Safety Feature:Sliding needle shields attached to disposable syringes and vacuum tube holders (Figures 2A and 2B).
- Disposable scalpels with safety features such as a sliding blade shield (Figure 6).
- Retractable Technology:Needles or sharps that retract into a syringe, vacuum tube holder, or back into the device.
- Syringe with a retractable needle (Figure 3).
- Retractable finger/heel-stick lancets (Figure 8).
- Self Blunting Technology: Self-blunting phlebotomy and winged-steel "butterfly" needles (a blunt cannula seated inside the phlebotomy needle is advanced beyond the needle tip before the needle is withdrawn from the vein (Figure 4), (Figure 5).
- Hinged Safety Feature: Hinged or sliding shields attached to phlebotomy needles, winged steel needles, and blood gas needles (Figure 7).

According to NIOSH's Preventing Needlestick Injuries in Health Care Settings the process for selecting and evaluating needle devices with safety features includes:
- Form a multidisciplinary team that includes workers to (1) develop, implement, and evaluate a plan to reduce needlestick injuries in the institution, and (2) evaluate needle devices with safety features.
- Identify priorities based on assessments of how needlestick injuries are occurring, patterns of device use in the institution, and local and national data on injury and disease transmission trends. Give the highest priority to needle devices with safety features that will have the greatest impact on preventing occupational infection (e.g., hollow-bore needles used in veins and arteries).
- When selecting a safer device, identify its intended scope of use in the healthcare facility and any special technique or design factors that will influence its safety, efficiency, and user acceptability. Seek published, Internet, or other sources of data on the safety and overall performance of the device.
- Conduct a product evaluation, making sure that the participants represent the scope of eventual product users. The following steps will contribute to a successful product evaluation:
- Train healthcare workers in the correct use of the new device.
- Establish clear criteria and measures to evaluate the device with regard to both healthcare worker safety and patient care. (Safety feature evaluation forms are available from the references cited earlier.)
- Conduct onsite follow-up to obtain informal feedback, identify problems, and provide additional guidance.
- Monitor the use of a new device after it is implemented to determine the need for additional training, solicit informal feedback on healthcare worker experience with the device (e.g., using a suggestion box), and identify possible adverse effects of the device on patient care.
OSHA Directive CPL 02-02-069 [CPL 2-2.69] provides suggested non-mandatory forms to help employers evaluate engineering controls such as safety syringes, I.V. access devices, and sharps containers.

I would love to say that my current life innovation had sprung to mind whilst subtly smirking at the parents and wayward children shedding garmets in London's autumnal gusts, alas, it did not.
At this point in the year, every year, something changes.
As a human, I am truly exceptional at loosing things. I know this, my loved ones know this, and, my house key that constantly hangs around my neck knows this, far too well.
Despite the numbers of years under my belt, I still can't guarantee that the belt will be somewhere sensible in the morning.
This year, I have gathered my irresponsible and forgetful thoughts. Having examined my life all has become clear. Mummy knows best.
Mummy knew that, although I was told to put things in my pockets, I did not. Mummy knew that, even though I was far too grown up to be reminded, I would forget where I had last been absolutely, completely and definitely sure that I had my gloves.
Mummy, it turns out, was on to something.
Now, I'm not at all cool and I'm rapidly burning through my twenties, but, this ageing dog is throwing out new tricks and reinstating the old.
As I speak, I have a talented sewing wizardress whipping up name tapes. Yup, name tapes. I will unashamedly attach these old school miracles to everything, no garment will leave my home naked of my name.
I do have designs on rejoining the fashion and tech savvy elite, however. This season, not only does my name tape give my name, it also bears my Twitter handle.
For anything I lose, I will be eagerly watching @daisy_sells. Any #lost&found, #kindnessofstrangers tweeters can give me a howdydoo online and help reunite much missed items with their owners.
Next stop, strings for my mittens.

602 99 Norrköping
Bråvalla is a summer festival in the classic mould and is now the biggest outdoor music event in Sweden.
Since its inception in 2013, Bråvalla Festival has grown astonishingly quickly – partly because the festival takes place over four days and, unlike many other big multi-day music events in Sweden, it's a proper camping festival in the style of Denmark's Roskilde or the UK's Glastonbury.
Needless to say, Bråvalla has had considerable success in attracting some huge names to the little Swedish city of Norrköping – this year's line-up includes The Killers, Linkin Park and The Chainsmokers… not forgetting Swedish legend Håkan Hellström.
The setting at Norrköping Airfield, just outside the city, is ideal for a festival full of music, food, activities and a fair bit of beer-induced merriment. Tickets can be purchased for the full festival or a single day.

Zuri Beauty Salon, located at The Mall, on Jumeirah Beach Road, opposite the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, has an inviting sea green colored theme.
To me that symbolized, 'let's get clean, groomed, change.'
I got an amazing foot massage by the Massage therapist. For those of you who read my vlog know that I love them and I get them mostly everywhere I go (salons and spas I mean). So, I am in a relatively good position to tell you which one is good. This one made the cut.
My hair wash and blow dry however, was a little rough around the edges, even after prompting the hair stylist to go easy on my scalp. My scalp is very sensitive and I need to take extra care to wash my hair. I wish there was a little more attention paid to that.

|This dissertation focuses on the history of a semi-nomadic sea people in eastern Indonesia known as the Sama Bajo. It looks specifically at the important roles played by the Sama Bajo in eastern Indonesian politics and trade during the early modern period (roughly 1400-1800), and examines for the first time the existence of two large and well-organized Sama Bajo polities, each of which was comprised of numerous smaller Sama Bajo communities united across vast areas of seaspace by a hierarchical structure of leaders. The Sama Bajo are a sub-group of the larger Samalan ethnolinguistic group that is comprised of over one million Sama-speaking peoples dispersed throughout the southern Philippines, eastern Malaysia, and much of the eastern Indonesian archipelago. Often referred to as "Sea Nomads" or "Sea Gypsies," the unique sea-centered culture and mobility of the Sama Bajo positioned them to perform a number of vital roles in the histories of eastern Indonesia. Through their intimate relationship to the sea the Sama Bajo developed an impressive range of skills in fishing, hunting, diving, sailing, navigation, and maritime warfare, and these abilities made them extremely valuable in the economic and political networks of eastern Indonesia beginning in the mid-thirteenth century. The Sama Bajo's mastery of the seas also assured them positions of great power and prestige in their relationships with the various landed populations of the region throughout the early modern era. They were not only the primary collectors of the sea products, such as tortoiseshell and trepang (sea cucumbers, bêche-de-mer), that were so prized in regional and global trade markets but the Sama Bajo also served as navigators and explorers, as traders and merchants, as captains of naval fleets, as seaborne raiders, as nobles and figures of authority within landed polities, and even as territorial powers in their own right. For these reasons the Sama Bajo of eastern Indonesia were essential to the creation, expansion, and maintenance of some of the region's most powerful polities and trading networks. This is seen most clearly in the enduring relationships formed between the Sama Bajo polities and the landed kingdoms of South Sulawesi, namely Gowa-Talloq and Bone. Working from Sama Bajo oral and written traditions, historical manuscripts produced by Makassarese, Bugis, and Bima courts, and the archives of the Dutch East India Company, this dissertation provides a more nuanced and historically grounded understanding of the Sama Bajo in eastern Indonesia and their importance for Indonesian and Southeast Asian history. In so doing, it offers a perspective of the Sama Bajo that is radically different from the dominant scholarly and popular conception of these groups.

Horton, Justice
Bradford J. White has filed a Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings in response to the renewed foreclosure complaint
filed against him by Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as
Trustee. Plaintiff opposes the Motion and Defendant has filed
a reply to Plaintiffs opposition.
court elects to decide Defendant's Motion without oral
argument. See M.R. Civ. P. 7(b)(7).
Not all
of the background facts are pertinent to the pending Motion.
What is pertinent is that this is the second foreclosure
action commenced by Plaintiff against Defendant. The prior
action was filed in 2011 and went to a non-jury trial in
2013. See Wells Fargo Bank, as Trustee v. White, Me.
Super. Ct., Cum. Cty, Docket No. CUMSC-RE-11-77. In an order
dated March 21, 2014, the court entered a foreclosure
judgment in favor of Wells Fargo "based on indebtedness
of $110, 000, " less than Wells Fargo claimed to be due,
but more than Bradford White agreed was due. See
id., Order (Mar. 21, 2014). However, in September 2014,
after the Maine Law Court had issued its decision in Bank
of America v. Greenleaf, 2014 ME 89, 96 A.3d 700, the
Superior Court sua sponte vacated its March 2014
order and entered judgment for Bradford White "on the
ground that the notice of default and right to cure letter
sent to White on November 17, 2010 did not comply with 14
M.R.S. § 6111." Id., Order (Sept. 5,
2014). The second judgment does not state that whether is
entered with, or without, prejudice. Neither party appealed
from the second judgment, so it became the final judgment in
the prior action.
sole issue raised by Defendant White's Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings is whether the September 2014
judgment in favor of Defendant operates to bar Plaintiffs
claim in this case. Defendant says the September 2014
judgment is res judicata as to Plaintiffs claim;
Plaintiff says it is not.
of Review
standard of review applicable to a motion for judgment on the
pleadings under Rule 12(c) of the Maine Rules of Civil
Procedure is similar to that on a Rule 12(b)(6)

Hunter has always been one of the sweetest guys in the whole youth group.

Between the years of 2009 and 2011, I wrote a few tunes that could be described as "post-rock" - more classically-oriented instrumental music with rock instrumentation and some auxiliary instruments. Under the name Too Late For Tyler I produced several tracks that were intended to be released as a full album, tentatively titled A Waxing Nostalgia. However, some of the later tracks were never completed, and one of the project files is inexplicably completely lost, so all that remains is this unreleased EP...for your listening pleasure!

Energy Minister Judith Collins has signalled there could be announcement made next week about an inquiry into rising petrol margins.
The Automobile Association today called for fuel companies to explain to motorists why the national price of fuel rose 5 cents per litre during January, despite no increase in commodity prices or a drop in the exchange rate.
Collins, who became Energy Minister at the end of 2016, said she was "disappointed" fuel margins were going up.
"Ensuring a competitive market is the best way to keep fuel costs down.
"I am watching this issue very closely and will be discussing it with Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment officials today.
"I expect to make further announcements next week."
AA spokesman Mark Stockdale said the rise in fuel costs was "most unusual".
"Normally retail prices rise following an increase in the cost of importing fuel, but that wasn't the case in January.
"While commodity prices did rise in December, they have since fallen slightly while the New Zealand dollar has strengthened by over 3c. If anything, the retail price should have fallen, not risen by 5c."
Some service stations - typically North Island stations where Australian cheap fuel retailer Gull operated - had been substantially discounting fuel, selling it for under $1.70 a litre.
"At those prices, the service stations are selling it at or below cost. The AA suspects the rise in the national price - excluding any discount - is to help cover the cost of selling fuel at substantially lower prices elsewhere, and we'd like the fuel companies to confirm that."
AA members were very confused by the large range of pricing, Stockdale said.
"The AA believes the current high margins, and the unexpected January price rises, warrant further investigation.
"The last time fuel company margins came close to the current level, the Government put the fuel companies on notice and asked them to justify the high margins.
BP spokeswoman Shelley Brady said there had in fact been some increases in costs.
"While we have received some relief from a stronger Kiwi dollar recently, we have still seen some increases in refined product costs...
"Like many other retail businesses, we will independently change our prices when and where we can to ensure competitiveness in the markets in which we operate.
"As a result, prices can differ all around the country on different days and at different times, but we cannot always undertake or sustain heavy localised discounting."
Meanwhile, Z Energy spokesman Jonathan Hill said Z's margins weren't increasing.
"Z's net profit after tax on a cent per litre basis is just over 4c per litre and our cent per litre profit is flat...
"We appreciate with all of the discounting in the market it can be really confusing for customers but this is just the way competition is playing out.
"If [Collins] is thinking about a review or independent study into margins and profitability we would welcome that for the clarity it would provide."

The low down on Pebble Beach Concours
Pebble Beach 2008: Too much of a good thing?
Film has its Cannes, art has its Venice Biennale. For the car-obsessed world, the calendar pivots around "Pebble," the cluster of events on the Monterey Peninsula in August anchored by the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races. If you haven't made plans to attend yet, my advice is, don't.
The Winner of the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Best in Show: The Duesenberg "Mormon Meteor"
Over the years the events on the peninsula have grown more crowded and more expensive, the traffic more grinding and unpleasant. The whole affair has become painfully oversubscribed, succumbing to its own hype as the ultimate celebration of the automobile -- a notion rendered entirely too ironic by sitting in traffic on Highway 68. There has been in recent years some effort to reel back this grand faloon -- tickets sales to Sunday's Concours have been limited, for example -- but every year there seems to be more auctions, more events and more people trying to squeeze onto this tiny spit of land.
Couldn't convince you, eh? You must have the car jones bad. Welcome to the club.
The key to enjoying Pebble Beach is, first, have a good hotel room in a prime location. You do not want to have to drive to and from the peninsula. Second, plan your schedule carefully. If you try to take in too many of the weekend's offerings, you'll spend most of your time sitting in your car, which is not the automotive epiphany you're hoping for. For your planning purposes, here's a rundown of the schedule.
Today: McCall's Motorworks Revival, "A Luxury Lifestyle Event." 6 p.m. Monterey Airport. Gordon McCall, ex-Christie's rep now with Bonhams and Butterfields, throws a very cool party at the Monterey Jet Center, with classic cars and airplanes scattered over the acreage like a rich giant's toybox (the 2007 event is pictured at right). It's by invitation only, though it is possible to crash the event if you know someone. Like McCall. www.mccallevents.com
Today-Aug. 17, The Blackhawk Exposition Sale, Peter Hay Golf Course, near the Lodge at Pebble Beach, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. The only five-day auction event, the Blackhawk is a refuge and respite during weekend. You can drop by, mill around the cars, get out of the sun. More than 85 cars will be up for auction. There is no bidding, per se. It's handled like a blind auction. My cost-is-no-object pick: a 1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Roadster (pictured at right). My real-world purchase: a 1973 Porsche 911E Coupe. Free admission. www.blackhawkcollection.com
Aug. 14: Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance. 7 a.m.-3 p.m. An ambitious and fairly risky event for cars participating in Sunday's Concours d'Elegance, the Tour invites those cars on a 60-mile jaunt through the countryside -- 17-mile drive, downtown Carmel, and along the coast -- to wind up back at the polo fields for an exhibition at 3 p.m. This year, a special tour route for antique cars (those built prior to 1916) will trace Scenic Road to the historic Carmel Mission. Bear in mind that it has taken years to restore these (very old) cars to Concours condition. They can and do break down. While the cars get extra judging points for participating in the tour, the rules say that a car must be able to cross the platform under its own power to receive an award. I think some of the best drama of the weekend is to be found on the tour. Also, if you don't want to fight the crowds Sunday, you can simply grab a great spot along the route and see nearly every car as it drives by. Admission is free. For a route map, go to www.pebblebeachconcours.net.
Aug. 14-15: The Concorso Italiano, Marina Airport, in nearby Marina, north of Monterey Bay on Highway 1. The annual Roman orgy of Italian sports cars -- Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Bizzarini, just about anything ending in a vowel -- the Concorso Italiano has moved to a new venue at Marina Airport. Of all the events of the weekend, this is the one to take an 8-year-old to. The Concorso Gala is Aug. 14, 5:30 p.m.-9 p.m., with cocktails, live music and a fashion show around the cars. Aug. 15, 9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., is the Concorso proper, with more than 2,000 cars, trucks, planes and other bella machina. Tickets available on site. $85 for the gala, $100 to $150 for the Concorso; (831) 883-8594, www.concorso.com.
Aug. 15-17: The Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. Ever see a six-wheeled Tyrrell P34, a Reventlow Scarab Mk3, a Maserati T-61 "Birdcage" in full fight? The Historics are a place to correct this oversight in your horsepower education. Friday's schedule is mostly practice, though it's a great chance to walk the paddock and look at the cars. On Saturday, at 12:15 p.m., the Toyota Race of Legends pits former F1 and road-racing stars -- Derek Bell, Eddie Cheever, Alan Jones, Johnny Herbert, among others -- against one another in matched Scion tC coupes. This year the organizers have thrown in a current F1 ace -- Timo Glock -- to see if youth and enthusiasm can beat experience and guile. Glock will also be demonstrating a Dn Gurney-built Toyota Eagle MarkIII GTP. The next two days will be a accelerated flip-book of racing history, as cars, including Indy Roadsters (1925-1950) and IMSA GT cars (1972-1983), take to the track. Mario Andretti will be this year's guest of honor and the featured marque will be Alfa Romeo. Daily ticket prices range from $45-$65, a two-day pass is $95 and a three-day pass is $125. For more info, call (800) 327-7322 or go to www.montereyhistoric.com.
Aug. 15: The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. A light and breezy version of the Concours d'Elegance, the Quail event, on the fairway of the golf course, is one of the more enjoyable events of the weekend -- if you can get in. The thing that makes Quail special is the limited numbers of tickets, so visitors can mill around, eat the free catered food and look at the spectacular vintage cars at their leisure (2007 event pictured at right). This year the Quail will turn its spotlight on cars of the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, including the legendary Porsche 959. Also, if you ever wondered who turned up the wick on all those wonderful Lamborghinis, the company's famous test driver, Valentino Balboni, will be on hand to sign Countachs and Diablos, if you have them. Also, manufacturing sponsors will have their cars available for test drives; Land Rover has a fun off-road course set up through the woods. Call (831) 20-8887 or go to www.quaillodgeevents.com/pages/thequail.cgi.
Aug. 15: Bonhams & Butterfield Collectors Motorcars auction at Quail Lodge, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Featuring automobilia, jewelry, watches and, of course, lots of great cars. The star of the auction is undoubtedly a Talbot-Lago T-150 CSS with Georges Pauli-designed, Marcel Pourtout-built Aerocoupe coachwork. The car could fetch in excess of $5 million. Admission by catalog only ($75 for two). Call (415) 391-4000 or go to Bonhams website.
Aug. 14-16: The Russo and Steele Sports and Muscle Car Auction at the downtown Monterey Marriott. Another chance to get a long, up-close look at the cars for free, the Russo and Steele event keeps the cars in a nearby paddock for visitors to peruse. Thursday is a preview day. The auctions begin Friday and Saturday at 5 p.m. with automobilia and then the cars go on the block around 6 p.m. Admission is with bidders paddle ($100) and admits two. Call (602) 252-2697 or go to www.russoandsteele.com.
Aug. 16-17: The Gooding & Co. sale at Pebble Beach Equestrian Center, 6 p.m. The highlight of this show will be Dr. Peter Williamson's collection of splendid Bugattis, including a rare and desirable 57SC Atalante. This is a multimillion-dollar car and is one of the vehicles that will serve as a bellweather for the collector market in the months ahead. But the Gooding auction has many splendid cars. Last year's auction topped $60 million in sales. Admission by bidders catalog ($100) admits two to the preview and auction. Call (310) 899-1960 or go to www.goodingco.com.
Sunday, Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, 10:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. This year the featured marques are Lancia and Lamborghini. The event will also recognize General Motors' centennial year. $150 in advance, $175 on Sunday, includes parking and shuttle service. Call 877-693-0009 or go to www.pebblebeachconcours.net.

Roll Cage
The Sweepstakes Grand Prize features a Madigan Motorsports roll cage that utilizes stock mounting points to replace the factory roll cage. It includes an intrusion V Bar, standard Dzus tab mounts, and is constructed from MIG welded 1.75″ DOM steel tubing. The Madigan Motorsports roll cage is superior to the standard factory roll cage and brings a much more aggressive look to the vehicle.

Lighting & Mounting Solutions
Light up the night with a 40″ Baja Designs LED bar that mounts perfectly between the Madigan Motorsports brackets on the cage. Check out the other lighting accessories and mounting solutions we have on the Can-Am down below:
- Madigan Motorsports rear wing assembly with two brake lights and single amber light
- Madigan Motorsports dual whip tabs
- Whip Tech quick release whip mount with whips
- Full wiring and rocker switches for top light, whips, dome lights
The handling of this Can-Am is already smooth and effortless but why not make it better? Here's what we came up with… We've installed an Eibach Springs kit and properly re-valved the shocks. To add to that we replaced the factory radius rods and sway bar links with an Assault Industries kit. You'll be hucking it out in the dunes or hauling the mail down the whoops like nothing!
- FOX Shocks
- Eibach Springs
- Assault Industries Radius Rods and sway bar links
Tires & Wheels
We couldn't add all these upgrades and modifications without changing the tires and wheels. This monster of a machine is equipped with the Maxxis Liberty Tires, a tire that is Baja Proven with multiple podiums in the UTV ranks of desert racing. In between the Maxxis rubber you'll find the KMC XS235 Grenade Bead Lock Wheels, a set of wheels that not only looks great but will provide next-level functionality. More of a sand goon? Don't worry. Make sure to check out what else we're including down below!

When you're out in the middle of the desert and find yourself hundreds of miles from civilization we want to make sure your communication is on point and that you're comfortable in your machine so we included a Rugged Radios communications package. We've got you covered with a 60-watt radio for communication back to camp or to your chase truck, an intercom for communication between your passengers and yourself, and a fresh air pumper system to keep pumping fresh air into your helmet!
- Rugged Radios 60-Watt Radio (Connects to intercom and allows you to communicate to other cars or chase trucks)

Air Cleaner
Replacing your air filters every other trip is annoying and expensive so we've integrated an S&B Particle Separator for you to not have to worry about that for at least a season! S&B Particle Separators eject 94% of dusty air before it reaches your stock air filter. They are designed to protect from water, snow, sand, and fine dust so you can take your Can-Am just about anywhere without worrying about a dirty or clogged up filter.
Triton Imaging really killed it with this race-inspired wrap design. The Bike Bandit and Vey's Powersports branding compliments the door panels and body lines while the color selection really brings the rest of the car together.
Misc. Accessories
- Madigan Motorsports Can-Am X3 Grill (Laser cut steel insert that features an aggressive mesh design)

Newgrass 8-piece powerhouse Shakedown String Band packed into the Garage Mahal for their Session and actually managed to fit the whole band AND their instruments inside is heavily decorated walls.
On May 12th Shakedown String Band performed original songs End Of The Line and Open Road along with Wood Brothers cover Sing About It for the occupants of the Garage Mahal.. The Wood Brothers translated well to their additional instrumentation, banjo and electric guitar adding folky layers to acoustic guitar, double bass, harmonica drums and percussion; all of which were utilized in the 2 original pieces. Three part vocal harmonies spiced the proverbial apple pie for an authentic, wholesome americana experience.
Garage Mahal Sessions thrives because of musicians like the members of Shakedown String Band. For most of them, this is one of multiple active projects; Quel Bordel and Feathers & Lead, (both due for a Session this season) share members.
Most importantly these sessions are made possible because of subscribers like you! Subscribe to our channel ——-> HERE <———

Describe two theories about the origin of human beings
scientific theory maintain that Human beings evolved from ape- like creatures and developed through adaptation over along period of time.
Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.
The theory of evolution says that all living things on Earth, including plants, animals and microbes, come from a common ancestor by slowly changing throughout the generations. Darwin suggested that the way living things changed over time is through natural selection.
The creation theory- according to many world religious e.g. Christianity Islam and Judaism the human race was created by God at a specific time in history to fulfill God's purpose
Discuss the benefits of the discovery of fire to early man
Germany's declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare/ sinking of the U.S.A ships
In August, 1914 the United States declared its neutrality in the war then engulfing Europe. President Woodrow Wilson, reflecting the views of much of the nation, announced that his country would be "impartial in thought as well as in action".
The American entry into World War I came in April 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson to keep the United States out of the war.
The primary events that led to the United States declaration of war against Germany were the Zimmerman Telegram and Germany's announced intention to resume unrestricted submarine warfare.
On February 25, 1917, President Wilson received an intercepted German telegram to the German Embassy in Mexico City that offered to Mexico the "lost territory" of Arizona, New Mexico, etc. (land lost by Mexico to the U.S. in the Mexican American War of 1848) if Mexico would declare war on the U.S. The British had intercepted the telegram, and delivered it to the U.S. in an obvious attempt to secure U.S. entry into the war on the Allied side. On March 17, 1917, Germany sank five U.S. merchant vessels, and President Wilson delivered a war message to Congress on April 2. War was declared on April 6, 1917.
