Welcome to the Rileys is a 2010 British-American independent drama film directed by Jake Scott, written by Ken Hixon, as well as starring Kristen Stewart, James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo. The film debuted at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[2]
Ever since the death of their teenage daughter Emily, Doug (James Gandolfini) and Lois (Melissa Leo) Riley have been drifting apart. Because of her grief, Lois has become a cold and distant agoraphobic. Doug begins an affair with Vivian, a younger local waitress. However, Lois manages to maintain her appearance and the presentation of her home despite never leaving and inviting no guests aside from her sister, Harriet. She has even already had headstones put next to their daughter's for them both and made funeral plans.
One morning, Doug is informed that Vivian has died, and he travels to New Orleans on a business trip to clear his head. Instead, however, he ends up in a strip club where he meets 16-year-old stripper, Mallory (Kristen Stewart). He politely turns down her offer for a private dance and refuses any sexual contact, but instead accompanies her home and makes an unusual proposition: if Mallory will allow him to stay in her run-down house long enough to straighten himself out, he will pay her $100 a day for her trouble. For Mallory, who isn't used to getting money for doing nothing, it seems like a great deal. She accepts and Doug phones home to tell Lois he won't be coming home for a while. She tells him that she knew about his affair with Vivian but before the conversation can go any further, she hangs up.
As time passes, Doug and Mallory settle into an unconventional kind of domesticity, and he becomes more of a father figure for her than anything else including teaching her how to make a bed properly and taking care of her money. Meanwhile, back home, Lois realizes that she'll have to act fast in order to save her marriage, even if that means venturing outside for the first time in nearly a decade. After a couple of attempts, Lois manages to start up her car and get on the freeway heading south.
One night, Doug gets a call from Mallory who is in trouble after being robbed of the money she carries around by a client. He goes to pick her up and after arguing about how stupid she's being, he makes her realise that she needs to make some changes before things get worse. The following morning, Lois arrives in town and calls Doug to let him know, who is stunned that she not only left the house but drove all the way instead of flying. He immediately goes to meet her and they embrace one another for the first time in years. On the drive back, he tells her about Mallory (whose real name is Alison) and what she does for a living, which Lois instantly disapproves of. She is shocked to learn how young and foul-mouthed Mallory is. However, like Doug, Lois quickly warms to her due to her striking similarities to Emily.
Before long, Lois has also moved into Mallory's home and the three start to form an unconventional family. Lois helps her out with female problems and takes her shopping to buy suitable underwear, making her feel like a mother again, which she enjoys dearly. But later on when Lois attempts to steer Mallory from the path of self-destruction, the young girl flees. Mallory is then later arrested for an altercation with a client, and Doug and Lois rush to be by her side, but shortly after they bail her out, she runs again. In that moment, Doug and Lois realize they cannot use Mallory as a substitute for their daughter and return home to Indianapolis.
A few days later, Doug receives a phone call from Mallory in Houston. She looks cleaned up and healthier, and announces her plans about moving to Las Vegas, just before boarding the bus. Doug tells her that he and Lois will always be there for her.

- Melissa Leo as Lois Riley, Doug's wife.
- Eisa Davis as Vivian

Filming took place in New Orleans in late fall of 2008.[3]
Box office[edit]
The film had a limited release and grossed $158,898 at United States box office and $158,484 internationally with a worldwide total of $317,382.[4]
The film screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and received mixed reviews. It has a 54% rating on the film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.[5]
While some critics criticized the direction, script, as well as performances, film critic Roger Ebert stated, "One of the buzz champs of Sundance 2010. Gandolfini demonstrates that although he may not be conventionally handsome, when he smiles his face bathes you in the urge to like him. Kristen Stewart here is tougher even than her punk rocker in The Runaways."[6] Roger Friedman of The Hollywood Reporter said, "We got to see James Gandolfini continue his whacking of Tony Soprano in a fine new drama called Welcome to the Rileys. Gandolfini and Melissa Leo turn in superb performances as a couple who've lost their 15-year-old daughter. Kristen Stewart, she of Twilight fame, is also very good as a teen prostitute whom the couple befriends. The film is directed by Jake Scott, son of Ridley, nephew of Tony, and he shows that he's inherited the family gene."[7] Anthony Breznican of USA Today also noted that "Kristen Stewart's shocking depiction of a self-destructive 16-year-old stripper/prostitute in Welcome to the Rileys is bound to scandalize. Those who prefer her only as Twilight's lovestruck Bella may be shocked, while others who know her more nuanced work in films such as Adventureland will see a fearless new side of the actress confirmed."[8] However, David Edwards from the Daily Mirror says, "It's downbeat and has little to say about the grieving process, and while Gandolfini and Leo are memorable, Stewart is not."
Scott received a Grand Jury Prize nomination for Most Dramatic Film at the Sundance Film Festival, after Welcome to the Rileys screened there. Leo won best actress at Boston Film critics, Gandolfini was nominated as best actor, and Stewart won best actress at Milan International Film Festival.[9]

Homeowners, apartment dwellers and businesses all trust in their Sharp vacuum cleaners to make short work out of cleaning their floors. When their vacuums fail to suction properly, however, dirt and debris may leave a bad impression when visitors come to call. To get your vacuum cleaner suctioning properly again, use these troubleshooting tips.
Sometimes repairing a vacuum with lost suction is as simple as removing dirt and debris from the filter. Foam filters rinse out easily with water, and paper filters can be shaken out to clear dirt and debris between uses. Be sure your filter is dry, as a wet filter can cause loss of suction by restricting airflow. If you find your filter is clogged or worn out, replace it with compatible vacuum parts.
The next step in vacuum repair help is checking the bag. Feel the bag to see how full it is, and if it's close to the top, replace it with bag that's compatible with your Sharp vacuum cleaner. Full bags give dirt and debris nowhere to go when it moves through the vacuum hose, causing loss of suction.
Loss of suction can also be caused by dirt and debris trapped in the nozzle or vacuum hose. Use a soft cloth to remove any build-up in the nozzle, and gently squeeze the hose to find any clogs. If you can't clear the debris clogging your parts, you may need to repair your vacuum with replacement components.
Sears PartsDirect stocks an extended selection of replacement parts and essential products that keep your Sharp vacuum cleaner in top-notch condition. For more help and lists of available parts options, choose your model from the list above, click the chat button, or call 1-800-252-1698.

Whenever football fans gather, there will be tailgate parties with family and friends. It's a chance to beat the traffic by arriving as much as three hours before kickoff and having lunch or supper before the game.
Sandwiches are a good choice for tailgating because of their ease of preparation and "holding" ability. If you're not in the mood to prepare them yourself, then order them -- especially oversize subs -- from a deli or supermarket a day ahead.
For a successful pregame party, you need to be prepared. Besides paper or plastic plates, you'll need plastic knives, forks, spoons and glasses. Big napkins are essential because this is often a stand-up-and-eat affair. Those disposable cleanup cloths will allow you to arrive at kickoff with non-sticky hands as well.

Posted by David
The key to wealth is not the actual ownership of wealth, but rather the being a conduit for it. You may either do this by being increasingly useful to the greater system or by becoming a larger conduit, which are actually the same. If you stay useful and transform and transfer the energy provided to you in increasingly innovative ways, then you keep your job in the system. If not, you are shed and become transformed wealth. "Sold! to the highest bidder."
If that sounds a bit terrifying, well, it is if you want to be a part of one particular economic system. But in this world there are actually two economies working in parallel. Thank goodness, because one of the systems is too ruthless for me to be a member. And thankfully, one is dieing and one is living. In fact, one is death and one is life. In one, the energy driving the system is pride or powerlust. In the other, the energy driving the system is love. Pride is a contained system. Pride is a self-centered system. Pride is a closed system and has a definite limit to its innovation.
Love on the other hand is based in God, who is outside the system itself. So, it is an open system. It is eternally creative and innovative. Not only does its innovation never end, but neither does the fuel nor desire. All parts of the energy triangle work indefinitely within this economy of Love.
To be a part of the former system, you must fight, deal, cheat and steal. You must transform energy for the greater pride.
On the other hand, to be a part of the latter system, you must pass love without regard. You must transform the energy give for the greater love. And it's not possible to horde love. It can only be passed along to the greater benefit of the whole.
I mentioned that these two economies, or what Saint Augustine called "cities," work in parallel. This is important to understand, because some of us might think that we're caught or trapped in the former system and can't get out. But by being in parallel, it's easy to just step over to the other track and start passing love rather than envy, pride and lust, no matter where you are. When we spend money, we do it out of love rather than fear. We do it out of charity rather than vanity. So you don't need to quit your job. You can jump tracks wherever you are and serve either a master or a friend.
When you start converting your conduit over to love rather than pride, love then starts eroding your streambed, rather than ruthlessness. Your river gets bigger and draws in more love. God's love starts broadening your conduit. And I finally understand at least part of Jesus' Parable of the Shrewd Manager. Jesus shows us that we must use our position (our conduit) to funnel love rather than trickery. We're not stuck. We can get out. When we do, we find true wealth to actually be relationship, particularly relationship founded in the eternally innovative Love of God.
So, what's the key to greater wealth?
- Wealth can only be found in relationships.
- There are two types of wealth in human civilization: pride and love.
- Pride is a false-wealth. You become a slave to its master and will fall with the master when the peak is reached in this closed-system.
- Love is true wealth and is only had through a relationship with that which is outside the Universe: God.
- You cannot store wealth. It is uncontainable. It cannot be horded. There is simply no need to try.
- You can become a greater conduit for both types of wealth—pride or love—by freely passing what is given to you.
The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.
"One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."
Luke 16: 8-13

During the episode, Ramos interviews Mayor of San Juan Carmen Yulin Cruz, Governor Ricardo Rosello and people who are working to provide aid, such as former New York Yankee and Puerto Rico native Jorge Posada and his wife Laura.
Ramos also interviews such influencers as actor John Leguizamo, Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio), artist and activist Ai Weiwei and and world-renowned brain surgeon Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa,

International R&D collaboration networks and free trade agreements
Abstract (Summary)This thesis contributes to the analysis of optimal industrial and strategic trade policy in the presence of oligopoly and other forms of imperfect competition, so as to make contact with important empirical regularities and policy concerns, such as international R&D collaboration, unionization and free trade. First, in the context of international competition in which R&D plays an important role, we study the consequences of allowing governments to subsidize R&D and coalition deviation on the R&D collaboration networks. Then we investigate the formation of FTAs as a network formation game. While the analysis of welfare effects takes the central stage, we also analyze the nature of trading regimes that are consistent with the incentives of individual countries. We address the issue of conflict of interests among firms, consumers and governments as well. Finally, we integrate the analysis of international R&D collaboration and strategic trade policies, and demonstrate how an asymmetric equilibrium arises from an international trade model with symmetric countries and symmetric firms, and study whether it is sometimes possible to improve national welfare by jointly implementing trade and industrial policies.

They haven't said anything about my MRTC's at all. However, since I just had a relapse and they don't want to dose when you are in a relapse, therein lies the apparent problem. I KNOW I'm not in a relapse now, and their has never been mention of no MRTC's in my blood. I don't think that's the point. I think they are being cautious because of the no dose during relapse thing, but like I said, if they don't get this shit started, I'll be in another one sure as hell. My last post was probably a bit disjointed since it is hard for me to maintain a cohesive flow to my thoughts once my trigger has been tripped. I woke up extra pissed since I know I can't bug anyone today! I have to wait until Monday to start up the whole "nag until you get some real feedback" process.
I may just be 'shouting at the ocean', but at least it feels like I'm doing something. I don't know Bob, I've just had a progressively worse time of things physically and I'm just really reacting to all this emotionally instead of intellectually and that just puts me out of where I usually reside.
So to answer your specific queries; they are NOT wanting to dose during a relapse. You got the opposite impression from my rant it looks like. And no, they haven't told me that my MRTC count is low. They've told me nothing and that's why I'm so frustrated. If they tell me my MRTC count is low and they can't make it, I'm pulling out and trying something else. I can't just sit on my hands and continue to 'fly naked'. It may turn out to be the worst decision I could ever make, but after having three exacerbations this year, I'm not about to risk another year without having at least something in my system that somebody says may work. And to top it off, I just read an article (I was going fast, so I don't remember where it is) that talks about a trend in MS. They talk about people that have sphincter muscle issues tend to have a more virulent course. Guess what I have? It could have been just someone's theory, but it got published and in the emotional state I'm in, I can't get that thought out of my mind. I'm just in a really bad spot right now and if my research coordinator were in front of me right now, I'd choke his skinny ass even though all of this is probably none of his fault. He's just the face of this trial for me and right now this trial can kiss my white ass.

Technology is changing the shopping experience, and as a result, consumers are benefiting. Tech not only influences retail, it completely drives it. And, as more and more retailers adopt sophisticated technologies to attract consumers, tons of perks and conveniences become available to the consumer. Retailers fight for our business and loyalty and, in exchange, shoppers are no longer paying full price.
So, how can you take advantage of all the deals available? Through apps of course! It's easy to lose sight of all the ways we can save, but luckily, the list of apps below will ensure you never pay full price again.
Flipp has turned couponing and deal searching into a digital dream. Flipp is an iOS and Android app that aggregates coupons, deals, and offers from national and local chains into one easy-to-access dashboard. This completely eliminates the need to search through endless flyers and emails to find relevant deals. The app sends a reminder when saved coupons are about to expire, as well as sends new deals from favorite stores and brands (based on location). The verdict? Flipp is a family favorite, saving 20-50 percent on everyday items.
Gas prices are rising across North America; however, gas stations stay competitive with their prices. GasBuddy uses a smartphone's built-in GPS system to locate nearby gas stations and reports on the current price. Search by proximity or filter by price. GasBuddy is perfect for road trips; as you're on the road, you can see if it's worth it to fill up now or if you can wait until the next exit.
It's never been easier to get paid for shopping. Ibotta offers cash back on purchases. Just scan receipts, and major retailers will send cash. Major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Walgreens support the app, so earning cash back can come faster than you think. Once there's $20 in your account, the money can be transferred to PayPal, a gift card, or more.
Ever walked through a mall and wondered where all of the good deals are hiding? Shopular aims to find them. It uses location-based tracking and notifies the user when deals are nearby. Plus, it allows you to select favorite shops from a huge curated list and will notify you when deals and discounts become available. Everything is done through the app, so there's no need for flyers and coupons. Tons of retailers are participating, including Starbucks, CVS, and Forever 21.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- For nearly 70 years, this Mediterranean-style suburb of Miami has remained a shady pocket of Old World decorum amid the razzle-dazzle growth of sunny South Florida.
The muted colors of its buildings, the deep shadows cast by its exotic trees, the very mood of Coral Gables have been carefully guarded from change by what may be the strictest set of city codes anywhere.
Among other things, the codes ban the outdoor parking of pickups and vans overnight, outlaw street vendors and used-car lots, even forbid swimming in private pools near churches on Sunday mornings.

APSINES of Gadara, a Greek rhetorician, who flourished during the 3rd century A.D. After studying at Smyrna, he taught at Athens, and gained such a reputation that he was raised to the consulship by the emperor Maximinus (235-238). He was the friend of Philostratus, the author of the Lives of the Sophists, who speaks of his wonderful memory and accuracy. Two rhetorical treatises by him are extant: , a handbook of rhetoric greatly interpolated, a considerable portion being taken from the Rhetoric of Longinus; and a smaller work, , on Propositions maintained figuratively.
Editions by Bake, 1849; Spengel-Hammer in Rhetores Graeci, ii. (1894): see also Hammer, De Apsine Rhetore (1876); Volkmann, Rhetorik der Griechen und Romer (1885).

Will the Decade of Vaccines Mean Business as Usual?
The authors of this article, published in The Lancet, argue that anticipated advances in vaccinology during this new Decade of Vaccines (named by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in January 2010) will only translate into reductions in global morbidity and mortality from targeted illnesses if fundamental restructuring means that the most marginalized countries (particularly in Africa and southeast Asia) gain access to new and established vaccines. They assert that there must be dialogue with various stakeholders, including the World Health Organization, civil society, governments, the private sector, and donor agencies in order to appropriately address all of the complexities of immunization.

Class Of 1908 At 25th Reunion

Today's photo is of the Class of 1908.
In 1933, the Class of 1908 was having their 25th reunion and took this photo. I wonder if these folks had any idea that 80 years later their photo would be splashed around to thousands of people on the thing called "Internet"!
It also makes you wonder how people will view our pictures taken today on the technology they have 80 years from now.

What Are You Doing With That Thermometer
Being a first time parent is full of surprises. From the first few weeks of teaching the infant to eat solid food to comforting them when they get a boo-boo. Expect things like sore throats and ear infections. Those who aren't members of the medical community, you're going to need to stock-up on plenty o' knowledge.
With fevers, newbies may touch the child's forehead with their wrists. But ultimately, you're going to need and use a thermometer to take the little one's temperature. That's why we've decided to give you a brief primer on how, when and at what age the instrument should be used. It sounds simple enough, but there are some basic best practices the ENT Center of Austin would like to pass along.
Your mom used to have a glass mercury thermometer in the medicine cabinet. Step into the 21st century. Digital thermometers are much better for total accuracy. And for safety, too. The old mercury thermometers would occasionally break which could be a safety matter if it's in the child's mouth. Also, the modern-day units are much more precise.
When you visit us, we may use one that fits in the ear. Digital ear thermometers, AKA tympanic thermometers go really hi-tech. That device uses an infrared ray to tap the temperature in the ear canal.
But you can get a good digital thermometer from any drug store. One note of caution: If you purchase two -- one for their mouth and the other for their rectum -- label them. We need not explain why. You get it, right?
Likewise, read the instructions. That way you'll be sure of how the tool works.
The Age of the Kid
Where you stick the thermometer is directly related to how old the child is. Some tips:
- Up to 3-months of age.
Newborns should have their temperature taken by rectum. Rub a dab of Vaseline on it before insertion. Put the infant on its back, lift their thighs and put it in place. Should you encounter any resistance, stop. Don't want to damage anything. Either the digital thermometer will beep when it's finished. No warning? About a minute will take care of business.
- 3-months to 4-years.
No need to follow the above procedure. Simply purchase a temporal artery thermometer, digital pacifier thermometer or a digital ear thermometer. Once again, follow the manufacturer's direction. The important thing is that you hold the unit in place.
- 4-years and up.
Usually at this age they can hold the thermometer under their tongue. Tell the child to keep his or her mouth shut. Then after the thermometer beeps or after a minute, you've got a good reading. Let's say they've eaten or drank something recently. Wait 15-minutes before you use the digital gadget. For those who are too congested to breathe through their nose, you might want to have a digital ear thermometer on hand.
Come See Us If ...
Imagine that your baby is older than a year. Standard rule would be to make sure they're drinking a lot of fluids, monitor their playing habits and how well the child is sleeping. Everything seems pretty copacetic? Don't panic. Moreover, no reason to treat their fever.
Those under six months old can be given a child's dose of acetaminophen like Tylenol. Older than that ... Use ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.). Read the label carefully for proper dosage. Stay away from aspirin to deal with a fever until they're at least 18-years old.
Ring us up or the family doctor if:
- Your kid is younger than 3-months old and has a rectal temperature of 100.4 F or higher.
- You child is older than 3-months and the reading is up around the 102 F range.
- They don't seem to get any relief from OTC medication and the fever of 102 F lasts more than a day.
Again, no need to freak-out if they have a fever, you now know how to carefully monitoring your child's temperature. Step off the bottom rung of the 18-year old ladder. You're becoming a fully functional parent.

Writing as A Way of Healing
How Telling Our Stories Transforms Our LivesBook - 1999
In Writing as a Way of Healing, DeSalvo also develops a detailed program of exercises that shows writers and nonwriters alike how to "open up" to themselves through writing, write regularly in a relaxed way, and achieve a state of personal acceptance through writing. DeSalvo's techniques will provide a solid foundation for writers to benefit both physically and emotionally from telling their stories.
DeSalvo writes with remarkable insight of a wide range of writers who have found that their work helped them to heal, including Audre Lorde, Alice Walker, Kenzaburo Oe, Djuna Barnes, Peter Handke, Jamaica Kincaid, and Mark Doty. In these pages, we become familiar with writers' stories of healing: Isabel Allende deals with the anguish of sitting near her comatose daughter's bedside by beginning to compose a letter to her that eventually becomes the memoir Paula. Henry Miller, despondent when his wife, June, left him for another woman and contemplating suicide, instead works through the night on a story that details his life with June. This brief outline, written during a time of Miller's sharpest despair, serves as the inspiration for his greatest novels.
DeSalvo illustrates how writers can find solace in their work if they ensure that they have a safe environment and a deliberate plan to approach the writing process. She also discusses what went wrong for writers "at risk" like Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, and she warns of the danger of using writing as a call for help instead of seeking help. According to DeSalvo, the way to responsibly write, to heal, is to make an effort to understand our experiences as we write about them. The healing power comes from the reflection on the pain we are living through.
In this inspiring book, highly acclaimed author and teacher Louise DeSalvo reveals the healing power of writing. Based on her twenty years of research, DeSalvo show how anyone can use writing as a way to heal the emotional and physical wounds that are an inevitable part of life. She draws on the journals, diaries, letters, and works of dozens of famous writers and students of the craft to illustrate how people "change physically and psychologically when they work on projects that grow from a deep, authentic place." With insight and wit, she illuminates how writers, from Virginia Woolf to Henry Miller to Audre Lorde to Isabel Allende, have been transformed by the wiring process. Writing as a Way of Healing includes valuable advice and practical techniques to guide and inspire both experienced and beginning writers.

Ideas for Old-Fashioned Kitchen?
Q: I just signed a lease on a lovely apartment in a great location, with plenty of light and hardwood floors. If we don't look at this kitchen it's basically a dream apartment.
The picture shows how the previous tenant arranged the kitchen — my initial thoughts are to remove the microwave off the counter, nix the spice rack, replace it with art, and place some wire shelving on top of the cabinets. Those are only minor fixes though — any ideas to completely change the cramped, old fashioned vibe of the place? Painting the cabinets/removing the doors is not an option, but painting the walls is. Thanks!

1/12th." scale
Copyright © 2013
Licensed Exclusively to: World Costume Dolls
In 1999 I was given a large sheet of 3/4" thick MDF by the Proprietor of a local Do-It-Yourself Store. I was told I could have it as it had some damage to the edges and it was going to be thrown out. When it was later laid out on the lawn I looked at it and thought - "that's my Irish Cottage", hence, GLENCREE! I have based it on an Irish cottage C.1890, so I did not want electric lighting in it. It is 1/12th. scale.
I bought a plan for the cottage but didn't use it after as the cottage had no front! Anyway, I always prefer to "do my own thing", so that's what I did.
It is an old Irish tradition that an Irish cottage can have rooms added onto the length so that it is just one row of rooms deep but there mustn't be two rooms, one behind the other. It should also have two outside doors opposite each other in order to circulate the draft.
My late husband cut the wood into manageable sizes for me and I went on from there. After working out my own plan I marked and cut out all the pieces, that is the outside door holes, the windows which are by tradition, four paned, and the two "holes" for the fireplaces, and I eventually glued them altogether. I was given some Artex by a relation who is a plasterer by trade, and hey presto - I was away! In my enthusiasm it occurred to me that I hadn't cut the doorway out in between the two rooms! I got round it by making a false door! (Very ingenious, I thought!).
This was the basics done so next I painted the cottage with Uni-Bond to give the Artex a grip, and then gave it two coats of Artex, inside and out. By now it was beginning to look a bit more like a cottage and not like a box!
Next came the exciting part! My husband drilled around the top of the side walls so that I could fix the purlins (dowelling) into position. Over these I glued batons in a vertical position and held them in position with wooden clothes pegs (a wonderful invention!) until they were dry. While this was drying I fixed the doors into position (quite a hassle!) and painted the floor to resemble an earth floor.
Next came the bit I was REALLY looking forward to! I was about to start thatching the roof! For this I used coconut hair which I fetched back from Sri Lanka. We were going along in a taxi and noticed a farmer in a field with a load of coconut hair spread out in the sun to dry. I got the taxi man to stop and he went and asked the farmer if I could have some. Simple as that! He wouldn't charge me so I gave him some rupees.
My two grandsons helped me to tie up loads of 3/4" long bundles of the coconut hair, and after covering the roof with sacking (which I think is better than felt), I gradually glued on loads of bundles. I estimated that I had made about 750 bundles.
I now had my Irish Cottage for which I made the dolls and all the furniture, with the exception of the chair in the bedroom.
* * * *
(Repairing the roof after a bad winter)
The hacker which he is holding was made by my late husband, and it is an exact replica of the one his father used to use, many years ago.
Mr McSweeney is enjoying his glass of stout and taking it easy. I made the settle he is sitting on with 30 years old oak, given to me by a local coffin maker! The ladder was made by my late husband. He drilled holes all the way down both sides and fitted the rungs into them. (He also made the ladder in the front of the house, leaning against the wall). It leads up to a large shelf which is where the family dry the peat and store other items, also. I made the hams hanging from the ceiling, with Fimo. The linen press on the right has opening doors.
The food has all been made with Fimo. I made the oil lamp with bits of filigree. The glass top is from an old fuse (if I remember correctly!).
I used Fimo to make all the vegetables and used some more of the coconut hair which I glued onto some dowelling, to make the besom (broom).
(Using 30 years old oak)
The open linen press and the chair. The seat of the chair is fine tapestry canvas.
The bed is in the wall with clothing stored by the side of it. The chair is from a Charity Shop and my husband made the oil lamp (on the floor on the left) by using all tiny parts of scrap metal found on a garage floor.
I used a scroll saw to cut the pattern out on the back, to my own design, and I painted the miniature tiles at the back and baked them in a friend's kiln. I shaped carved the legs using a Stanley knife.
(made by my late husband)
I brought the stones for the wall back from a visit to Croatia, and glued them in place with Polyfilla. The vegetables were made with Fimo. (I purposefully wanted them to be "falling down" near the front, to add a little realism). The shepherds hook leaning against the wall was made by my husband. The water pump is a pencil sharpener.

Definition: deriving; origin or source of something; Ex. the derivation of the word
Sentences Containing 'derivation'
When I asked him if he could do without money, he showed the convenience of money in such a way as to suggest and coincide with the most philosophical accounts of the origin of this institution, and the very derivation of the word pecunia.
Rudimentary organs may be compared with the letters in a word, still retained in the spelling, but become useless in the pronunciation, but which serve as a clue for its derivation.
But I do not approve of this derivation, which seems to be a little strained.
The U.S. state of Montana has 85 different locales that bear that name or a derivation . The U.S. state of Idaho has 92 natural and man-made areas that incorporate Sheep Creek into their names.
Another, Old English, derivation is from the Old English word "deor", meaning "dear", and, of course, "mann", meaning "man": thus, Dear Man. Notable people with the surname include:
The derivation comes from Hebrews 6:19, in which 'hope' is described as the anchor of our lives.
This article deals primarily with the historical development of the idea; a treatment of the mathematical description and derivation can be found in the article on action.
However, it must be used with care: this derivation is only for a uniform quantizer applied to a uniform source.
Specific personality style theories that might be useful include Costa and McCrae's NEO PI-R personality inventory, Holland's person-environment matching theory, Isabel Briggs Myers' personality type theory, Oldham and Morris' derivation of personality styles from DSM personality disorders, and Ivey's reconceptualization of the DSM personality disorders as a continuum of personality styles.
The lyrics up to this point (most of them written by Peart) were heavily influenced by classical poetry, fantasy literature, science fiction, and the writings of novelist Ayn Rand, as exhibited most prominently by their 1975 song "Anthem" from "Fly By Night" and a specifically acknowledged derivation in "2112" (1976).
However, German Turkologist Gerhard Doerfer assessed the derivation from Iranian as superficially attractive but quite uncertain, and pointed out the possibility that the word may be genuinely Turkic.
In the U.S., this is often called "Scotch Snuff", a folk-etymology derivation of the scorching process used to dry the cured tobacco by the factory.
Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations
The intent of this article is to highlight the important points of the derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations as well as the application and formulation for different families of fluids.
The derivation of the Navier-Stokes equation involves the consideration of forces acting on fluid elements, so that a quantity called the stress tensor appears naturally in the Cauchy momentum equation.
New words can also be coined by derivation from other established words, such as the verbification of nouns by the adding of the suffix "-a", as in "bil" ("car") and "bila" ("travel (recreationally) by car").
Older discredited explanations include derivation from the hypothetical common noun "*kočevje" 'nomadic settlement' and Slovene "koča" 'shack'.
The name is believed to be a "karmadhāraya" compound of two Proto-Celtic roots: the first, "*tolisto-", is of uncertain meaning, but perhaps related to Old Irish "tol" "will, desire"; Rübekeil conjectures it to be an adjectival derivation from a Celtic root "*tel-" in an archaic and not well-attested formation of the superlative, and tentatively translates the name as "the most enduring, hardest".
Objections to the usage of "Indian" and "American Indian" include the fact that "Indian" arose from an historical error, and thus does not accurately reflect the derivation of the people to whom it refers; and some feel that the term has absorbed negative and demeaning connotations through its historical usage that render it objectionable in context.
A few notable place names – such as a few major hydronyms Päijänne, Saimaa, Imatra and Keitele which are thought to be among the oldest toponyms – still lack a sound derivation from existing languages despite of different approaches.
Lutèce is the French derivation of Lutetia, the ancient Roman name for the settlement which later became Paris.
Sensorless control requires derivation of rotor speed information from measured stator voltage and currents in combination with open-loop estimators or closed-loop observers.
Note that when gases are used, their derivation is much more involved.
Saturated absorption spectroscopy, also known as Doppler-free spectroscopy, can be used to find the true frequency of an atomic transition without cooling a sample down to temperatures at which the Doppler broadening is minimal. Derivation.
The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word "jardin", meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers.
There is a tradition in the West Highlands that the surname borne there is derived from the Gaelic "Dath riabhach", which is said to be a short form of "Mac 'Ille riabhach"; although etymologist George Fraser Black thought such a derivation doubtful.
Kaivalya (कैवल्य), is the ultimate goal of yoga and means "solitude" or "detachment" (a "vrddhi"-derivation from "kevala" "alone, isolated").
He suggests the "probable" derivation as from "Drùdhadh" meaning oozing.
Any visitor to the summit of the Lairig Ghru would accept that as a possible derivation because two watercourses, one on each side of the summit, appear to "ooze" from the valley floor.
However, Gordon is much less certain about the derivation of the name, writing: The weight of suggestion is - therefore - that "Lairig Ghru" is certainly "the hill pass" (of something) and that "something" is probably related to the water flowing from the floor of the valley close to the summit.
The placeholder suffix was originally devised as a catch-all derivation affix.
The verb "coisar" (formed by a derivation of "coisa", "thing", with a verbal suffix), though inexistant in dictionaries, is often used to replace any verb that express actions (as opposed to verbs that describe states).
The name Meanwood goes back to the 12th century, and is of Anglo-Saxon derivation: the "Meene wude" was the boundary wood of the Manor of Alreton, the woods to the east of Meanwood Beck.
A derivation from "*weid-" "know" or "see" is attested as "the reconstructed etymon "wid-tor" ["one who knows"] (compare to English "wit") a suffixed zero-grade form of the PIE root "*weid-" 'see' and so is related to Greek "eidénai", to know".
Despite the derivation of the name, Achaemenes was himself a minor 7th-century ruler of the Anshan (Ansham or Anšān) located in southwestern Iran.
On May 22, 1271, Bertrando de Real, the magister of Malta, was instructed to keep a note of the names and surnames of those who transported the falcons to the royal court from Malta, Martinus Calleya was a witness and Leo Caleya is among those included in the list. Of note, the persons on the 1271 document belonged to the wealthy class and did not include any serfs or peasants, nor any surnames of Arabic derivation.
Another possible derivation is from the English word "apparition", meaning "a supernatural appearance of a person or thing; anything that appears, especially something remarkable or startling; an act of appearing", which comes from the Latin ""apparitio"", meaning attendance.
"...Chi Tu is a derivation nation of Funan, located in within the southern sea, sailing hundred days to reach, the majority terrain was red, thus named Red Earth Kingdom (Chi means red, Tu means earth).
Its radicals had natural appearance, without much deformation, but the derivation was not natural, as it was possible to radically change the appearance of word; however, word families were formed regularly.

A library to easily measure what's going on in your python.
Project description
A library to easily measure what's going on in your python.
Metrology allows you to add instruments to your python code and hook them to external reporting tools like Graphite so as to better understand what's going on in your running python program.
To install :
pip install metrology
A gauge is an instantaneous measurement of a value
class JobGauge(metrology.instruments.Gauge): def value(self): return len(queue) gauge = Metrology.gauge('pending-jobs', JobGauge())
A counter is like a gauge, but you can increment or decrement its value
counter = Metrology.counter('pending-jobs') counter.increment() counter.decrement() counter.count
A meter measures the rate of events over time (e.g., "requests per second"). In addition to the mean rate, you can also track 1, 5 and 15 minutes moving averages
meter = Metrology.meter('requests') meter.mark() meter.count
A timer measures both the rate that a particular piece of code is called and the distribution of its duration
timer = Metrology.timer('responses') with timer: do_something()
Utilization Timer
A specialized timer that calculates the percentage of wall-clock time that was spent
utimer = Metrology.utilization_timer('responses') with utimer: do_something()
A profiler measures the distribution of the duration passed in a every part of the code
profiler = Metrology.profiler('slow-code') with profiler: run_slow_code()
Logger Reporter
A logging reporter that write metrics to a logger
reporter = LoggerReporter(level=logging.INFO, interval=10) reporter.start()
Graphite Reporter
A graphite reporter that send metrics to graphite
reporter = GraphiteReporter('graphite.local', 2003) reporter.start()
Librato Reporter
A librator metric reporter that send metrics to librato API
reporter = LibratoReporter("<email>", "<token>") reporter.start()
This is heavily inspired by the awesome metrics library.

Grizzlies-Spurs (Game 2): Was this a charge or block? Plus, a good no-call on major flop
For a game that was relatively close Wednesday night between San Antonio and Memphis, fortunately we didn't see any terrible calls down the stretch that would have changed the outcome of the game.
However, we did want to feature one foul in the 3rd quarter that we thought was very questionable. Check it out in the video below and see if you agree with referee Leon Wood (#40). We know many of you will say there were many more questionable calls than this, but we have to pick-and-choose one of the best, okay?
In the second clip, we feature an Oscar-winning performance by Memphis forward Shane Battier, which the refs correctly called as a no-call.
While checking these clips out, also listen to the overflowing remarks about Manu Ginobili from Spurs' broadcasters Bill Land and former player Sean Elliott. It was drooling remarks like these the whole game that prompted ESPN.com's Bill Simmons to tweet what's posted below the video player. (We just had to throw it in there).

Frequently Asked Questions
What does SEO mean?
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the process of improving the overall quality, relevancy, and authority of your website in the eyes of search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Bydand focuses on the most critical elements that improve your search results placement like keyword density, site and content scores, and overall authority among other things.
How long should I do SEO?
SEO is an ongoing effort. It's not a one time quick fix solution. Some of the largest corporations in the world like Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, and even Google itself, dedicate huge resources to ongoing optimization efforts, even though they are well known. Ask Bydand Digital to give you a free evaluation of your market place to determine the right level of investment and duration.
What is "black hat SEO"?
"Black Hat SEO" refers to practices that have been deemed unethical by search engines like Google. Unfortunately there are still many companies that follow these restricted practices. Things to look out for are:
- Link Schemes
- These are large networks of irrelevant websites that only exist for companies to paste links into. These sites are not credible or relevant and the search engines will penalize you for being a part of them.
- Invisible Links
- Search engines have become pretty sophisticated. When a developer drops a link at the bottom of a site in nearly invisible font size with the same color as the background, search engines disregard these links as trash.
- Keyword Spamming
- Have you ever visited a site that had the same word or phrase in the content so many times it was hard to read? How about sites with the same words or phrases built into the bottom of the page over and over again? Search engines are getting smarter and smarter everyday and when they see these things its recognized as "spam" or useless information.
What is a "link influence score"?
Link Influence Score, or LIS, is the value that search engines have associated with the links it recognizes to your site. Having a large volume of links to your site with low LIS can be less effective than having a lower number of links with a very high LIS. This is one of the many factors Bydand Digital takes into account when performing SEO to ensure you get the best results.

Mechanisms of influenza virus adaptation
Influenza virus remains a major global health concern, despite the decades-long existence of a licensed vaccine. This ongoing threat is a direct function of the virus' remarkable adaptability, which enables it to transmit within and between widely divergent host species while deftly evading herd immunity. Unfortunately, we still know very little about the specific mechanisms that facilitate influenza virus host adaptation, transmissibility, and immune escape. Defining these mechanisms is critical for understanding influenza pathogenesis, as well as for improving vaccines, therapeutics, and pandemic surveillance.
My laboratory is primarily focused on understanding how the genetic architecture of influenza virus promotes and influences viral adaptation and immune evasion. The influenza virus genome consists of eight distinct RNA gene segments, all of which are required to encode a productive infection. Many of our studies build on our observation that the vast majority of influenza virus particles carry a functionally incomplete set of gene segments, rendering them invisible to traditional infectivity assays. Rather than serving as dead-end products, widespread co-infection in vivo allows these incomplete, or semi-infectious, particles to replicate and exchange gene segments through complementation. The virus can alter the gene segment content of the semi-infectious particle population in surprising ways as it adapts to changing host conditions. These adaptive alterations provide a great opportunity to dissect the critical role that semi-infectious particles play in influenza virus replication and evolution.
We are also interested in using population genetics approaches to better understand influenza virus immune escape, pathogenicity, and transmission. We are developing improved methods for ultra-deep viral population sequencing that allow us to track minor sequence variants and measure positive selection across the influenza virus genome with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy.
Areas of study within the lab include:
Determining the role of semi-infectious particles and viral cooperativity during replication, transmission, and evolution.
Defining the epistatic interactions between viral gene segments and determining how they promote and/or constrain viral evolution.
Using single-particle/single-cell analysis of influenza virus infection to examine the interplay between individual viral gene products and the host.
Employing ultra-deep population sequencing methods to understand how influenza populations maintain fitness while evading host immunity.

I made this cake last week for my nephew's 21st birthday. He's a chocolate lover, so it's a homemade Devil's Food cake, made with dark cocoa. Talk about rich! You need a gallon of milk per slice!!
I used a chocolate fudge frosting, also made with dark cocoa, to cover the cake, then decorated with butter cream frosting, chocolate filled rolled wafers, white and dark chocolate shavings and raspberries.
Happy Birthday, James!!

It's a beautiful weekend for a music festival, and the 14th annual
MerleFest — featuring artists in styles ranging from bluegrass to country to folk to blues — got underway Thursday (April 26) in Wilkesboro, N.C.
Highlights of this year's event will include appearances by Dolly Parton, Earl Scruggs, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ricky Skaggs, Nickel Creek, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush and David Grisman, among others. Hundreds of performers will spread out over 14 stages during the four-day gathering. In all, the festival is expected to draw around 65,000 people to the campus of Wilkes Community College, including 10,000 students from local schools and more than 2,000 volunteers who
staff the festival.
Festivities kicked off Thursday night with performances by musical adventurers Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, bluegrass favorites the Del McCoury Band, and singer and guitarist Doc Watson, father of the festival's namesake, Merle Watson, who passed away in 1985. Created in his honor in 1988, the festival grew quickly into one of the largest in the country.
Not all the entertainment takes place on the official stages. After dark, bands like The Buttery Biscuits hold forth at the many campsites, and festival goers organize their own battle-of-the-bands.
A giant video screen and a webcast at www.MerleFest.org bring a modern
contrast to the traditional music being celebrated. Check back with country.com next week for a full report.

The Blues grabbed all three points marching towards the Premier League title with a convincing win at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday after an impressive second-half performance.
In a game, where the relegation-threatened Leicester City tried to build pressure over the table toppers, were rewarded with an opening goal in the first half after a defensive error. Chelsea's defense was unable to close out an incoming ball into the box and winger Mark Albrighton, who was lurking in the box, finished it off in a cool fashion.
It was a revival for Chelsea in the second half as they hit back right from the start with an equaliser by Drogba after a low cross from Ivanovic. Chelsea then looked unstoppable and kept searching for the winner and finally took the lead from a corner via a John Terry goal. The third goal was added to the score sheet after a stunning strike from Ramires with an assist by Fabregas in the closing moments of the game.
Here are the things we learnt from the entertaining away win:
A Refreshing Victory
After the stalemate in the weekend at the Emirates, a win was required for us to get a hand on the Premier League trophy and that is precisely what happened. After trailing at the end of the first half, Chelsea unleashed total fury on Leicester City, which resulted in the 3 second-half goals and also showed that we are not the so-called "boring" side after all.
Willian – The Unsung Hero
Willian was electrifying in the field last night, galloping like a horse, making progressive runs as he is slowly turning into perfect Premier League material. He might not have had any numbers to show for his contributions to the game, but indeed, he was more than indispensable for the Chelsea side yesterday.
The Mysterious Half-Time Talk
Chelsea were down going into half-time owing to a poor defensive display and it looked like the party was going to be delayed. However, it might have been the case of a strong half time talk from a certain Portuguese, that kick started a thunderous comeback with flair and ensured that we came out with the maximum points out of the King Power Stadium.
The Trophy Is Coming Home!!
Three points, that's it. A win against Crystal Palace in front of our home crowd on Sunday will see Chelsea crowned champions of England!! Looking at the current form of the team, 3 points on Sunday afternoon shouldn't be a problem.
So it all comes down to this, a chance of sealing the Premier League with 3 matches to go. A title that Stamford Bridge has been waiting for since the last 5 years is set to return under the best of circumstances.

<x-charset ISO-8859-1>A Seminar in Koine Greek for professors and teachers of Greek
I wonder how many Greek teachers and professors would be interested in
an intensive seminar where all participants would be required to speak only
Greek (Hellenistic-Roman 2centBCE-3centCE educated-colloquial register)
to each other over a 4 week period?
One purpose would be the opportunity to make a significant step toward
fluency in the language.
A second would be to green-light toward teaching techniques that
facilitated such fluency.
A third might be to generate new kinds of 'help' materials for students.
A typical morning might involve simulated classroom experiences where
different teachers ran trial modules of various material with the other
participants as 'guinea pigs'.
Afternoons might mean debriefing the morning sessions and evenings would be
spent in modest, restrained symposia.
Several things would need organization:
a. time: probably a June or July
b. venue: possibly a campus dormitory set-up in North America
c. organizational framework: TBA
d. funding: TBA
This is simply a trial balloon to find out if something educational
might be forged out of mutual interests.

So farewell, Tim... Or is it?
Henman, who has been desperate to avoid any undue fuss over his impending retirement, left his fans in the dark as to whether he will play again during this weekend's Davis Cup tie.
But if this is his final match, it will be a fitting end: A comprehensive win over Roko Karanusic, in which the Briton was able to demonstrate his grass-court skills, to put his country on the brink of qualification for the elite World Group.
A typical day at Wimbledon this was not.
No five-set rollercoaster from our Tim? Britain's favourite tennis son betraying his emotion by bending down and kissing the turf before burying his face in a towel?
And was that the usually inscrutable Tony Henman with a trembling chin?
The 11,400 capacity crowd lapped it up anyway. They may not have had to sleep on the pavement to get a ticket, but these were unmistakeably Henman's people.
Travelling on the District Line to Southfields on Friday morning was a bit like taking a time machine back to 25 June and the start of the Wimbledon Championships.
Getting to the All England Club necessitated a battle through hoards of middle-aged ladies and their picnic hampers.
The weather: chilly, with a looming threat of rain.
But once inside the grounds, it was clear this was no ordinary day at Wimbledon, hosting its first Davis Cup tie since 2000.
For a start, Centre Court was out of bounds, which is a bit like going to Wembley and not being allowed to see the pitch.
The practice courts at Aorangi Park, the outside courts and even Henman Hill were all deserted.
And from Court One, there were the strains of loud music. Pop music. The sort of sound likely to send the ageing debenture holders reaching for their ear plugs.
It was probably just as well Centre Court was off duty. How would the historic venue have coped?
Court One was bedecked in advertising - usually noticeable only by its absence during the Championships - and Union Jack flags, another no-no during those two weeks of summer.
In between the music, our host announcer, rather than asking for mobile phones to be switched off, encouraged the crowd to make as much noise as possible.
And they responded, rattling their 'thunder sticks' for all their worth as the British team made their entrance.
The noise reached cacophonous levels as Henman arrived on court following Andy Murray's five-set win over Marin Cilic.
This was (possibly) Henmania's last hurrah and his adoring fans were ready to make the most of it.
Not that British reserve was thrown completely out of the window. Any excitable fans who dared to shout during a point were met with a stern 'Ssshhh' from the disapproving masses.
But Henman's reaction on sealing victory ensured this day would live long in the memory.
The 33-year-old knelt down, kissed the turf and rose to accept a standing ovation from the crowd, many of whom were wiping away tears.
He has promised to return on Saturday and Sunday, regardless of whether he plays, and no doubt there will be similar ovations then.
The arguments may rage elsewhere over Henman's legacy to British sport, but there will never be any such debate here at Wimbledon.
What are these?
