Can this Congress do anything right?
Yet for all this talent, each man was too weak or too restrained politically to maintain their partnership even as the White House took a walk — not even issuing the standard statement of administration policy on the bill in question.
To hear Boehner's side, the speaker came back from August, instructing his aides to avoid precisely this type of drama. Deals were worked out to move transportation and trade-related bills and Boehner felt he had reached a deal with Reid on the CR as well.
The speaker kept faith with the new spending caps of $1.043 trillion for 2012, an important priority for Reid. Disaster aid would be included for 2011 in light of FEMA's dire straits, albeit under terms that kept 2011 appropriations under the 2011 targets agreed to in the last shutdown crisis in April.
Reid's camp says no deal was ever reached, precisely because of the limits on disaster aid. Instead, by this account, there was a tacit understanding that each leader would play his cards: Boehner with the CR and Reid with a free-standing disaster aid bill to test the waters for adding more assistance. After seeing the outcome, they could reassess the situation.
Whatever the truth, the first rounds were a setback for Boehner. Reid's bill, doubling the level of disaster aid, picked up a surprising 62 Senate votes, including 10 Republicans. Days later Boehner's CR went down, having lost 48 of his own Republicans upset with the spending levels in the bill.
Reid waited for the phone to ring from Boehner. His staff reached out to the speaker's with some new ideas. Instead, smarting from his loss and feeling betrayed, Boehner moved further right and rallied his party to pass virtually the same CR with minimal Democratic support early Friday morning.
Hours later, the two men spoke briefly — when Boehner finally returned Reid's call, which the leader took in the Senate cloakroom. Feeling rebuffed, the Nevada Democrat went back on the floor and promptly tabled the House resolution — ironically joined by same tea party Republicans whole House allies had put so much pressure on Boehner to move further right.
Indeed, the great influence of the tea party thus far may be less in its numbers than its ability to discourage Republican leaders from reaching across the aisle.
When the stakes were highest in the debt crisis, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took this risk and was a major architect of the August accords. But more often, the Kentucky Republican is less of the dealmaker he once was and will refuse to do anything that threatens Boehner, held in check by the tea party right.
Over time, the power of the tea party minority has bred its own counter-weight on the left; instead of three parts, this may be more honestly a Congress broken into four.
Boehner went into the CR fight with the fulsome support of Rep. Norman Dicks, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. But Dicks then reversed himself under pressure from the groundswell of anger from the progressive left over offsets seen as threatening jobs.

The human visual system is known to adapt its behavior extensively based on recent visual experience. This adaptation is often detectable as visual aftereffects, i.e. changes in visual perception that can be detected with psychophysical experiements in a laboratory. Most of the known effects are low level visual phenomena, such as orientation aftereffects, but recently there have been reports of aftereffects in high-level perception, including aftereffects in perception of the identity of faces based on recent exposure to other faces. In this project, we are applying computational techniques previously used to explain the low level effects in a more complex computational model of face perception, in order to determine if adaptation is similar at low and high levels. The predictions from these models will then be tested using psychophysical tests on humans.

Big Leaf Maple With Pink Wildflowers
Here in the land of giant trees we tend to take our smaller species for granted.
We shouldn't.
This handsome big leaf maple deserves a second look. The photo was taken in late March when a sprinkling of pale pink wildflowers dusted the carpet of green around the tree.
Thanks, Uti Deva, for sending this in. If you have a photo you would like to share of a tree, upload it in the comment section. If you have another local photo to share like Uti did, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

This video's from May, 2013, so it's not exactly news, but I thought it might be good to have some actual music on here. Ben Guzman did a bang-up job organizing the festival as well as producing this video. And Emmy looks (and sounds) so beautiful! Hope you enjoy:

I'm on the map of notable WV musicians created by the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame. Look for me in Webster County right next to Edden Hammons.
It's enough to make my head swell!
Man, I can't believe it's Halloween already.

Emily thought this was a bad resolution, because it's grammatically incorrect, and because she apparently likes doing stuff. Whatever.

I got a nice review for my album in the Charleston Gazette yesterday.
Thank You Elkins!
We played at El Gran Sabor last night, and it made me so happy to see everybody come out. We even pushed the tables back and had a couple of Squaredances. (two sets!) Don't worry if you missed it, we'll do it again, maybe in August.

The Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) on Monday and Wednesday this week disconnected water supply to Pacific Village and Central Medical Stores Trust after it was discovered the supply was illegally connected.
LWB, which is conducting Zero to Three Consumptions House to House Inspection Survey, discovered the illegal connections at Pacific Village which is owned by Pacific Group Properties in Area 9, and at Central Medical Stores Trust Warehouse in Area 6 owned by Manobec Limited.
Meanwhile, the Board has fined both Pacific Group Properties and Manobec Limited- being commercial customers- K1.5 million each as infringement penalties.
"Apart from infringement penalties, the two customers will also have to pay other charges which include reinstatement/repair costs, Lilongwe Water Board overhead costs and calculated costs of illegal water supply as well as the outstanding bills," LWB Assistant Public Relations Officer, Maurice Nkawihe said.
The fines and other related charges are calculated based on the provisions of LWB's by-laws.
Nkawihe said LWB is conducting the Zero to Three Consumptions House to House Inspection Survey to, among other objectives, establish and reduce non-revenue water, and commercial losses.
"We are inspecting all plots registering consumptions between zero to 3 cubic meters for at least three consecutive months and all already disconnected accounts, for the past six months," he added.
Among others, the survey focuses on eestablishing illegal connections, validate meter readings and to establish the conditions of meters and classify them accordingly, validate the number of disconnected accounts, and validate value of already disconnected accounts for purposes of provisions for doubtful debts and qualifying for bad debt write offs.
LWB has approximately 68, 445 customers that are being billed in its data base, as at 11th October 2017.
As of 31st March 2017, the Board had approximately 6,000 already disconnected accounts (with meters removed) and this represented 8% of the Board's customer base.

The saga of Phil Robertson's suspension from A&E's money making machine, "Duck Dynasty," has come to a happy ending (for the time being). The forces of good have won a battle against the wholly intolerant bullies who ironically push their ideas of "tolerance" and "anti-bullying." Perhaps the icing on the cake is the ignoring of efforts to capitalize by extortion whore, Jesse Jackson.
There are lessons that can be taken from the saga as it unfolded over the last couple of weeks. The lessons, which stem from something the pompous TOTUS reader in Hawaii might refer to as a "teachable moment," illuminate the state of at least three facets of our society and its culture. Two areas are painted with a damning brush as exposed by the various reactions to Phil's answer to the targeted question by the liberal ragporter. The third area is highlighted as a reason to not abandon all hope.

« Ohio! | Main | good morning, america »
Sleepless in Oakland too. But a great nite. I don't have a high opinion of Kerry, but I think he has too much dignity to try to drag this out.
Don't prove me wrong, JFK...
Still awake too...
Angry at a certain long-faced Senator and his little boy toy partner.
Jeff, I'm rooting for dignity but I'm sure not expecting it.
Prove me wrong Mr. Kerry.
michele, all I ask for is pictures of the drunk & naked running. Please.
Get that song out of your head!
London, Ohio is not too far from me...
I did the same thing last night. Slept a few hours and then got back up at 4 AM to check out the election. That prick Chris Mathews along with idiot Ron Reagan and demoralized Andrea Mitchell were still on, reporting from NYC. They were literally punch drunk and had started the funeral... Trying to figure out what went wrong.
It's a good thing that I woke up because the power had gone out to our house for over an hour (this is a secret thing LIPA does in the midnight) and my husband's clock radio was all screwed up. Gotta get that guy up so we can pay our fair share!
Well, at least my nightmare during my six fitful hours of sleep hasn't come true yet... though we're still in limbo it seems. sigh
Odd, that sleep deprivation thing. I got four hours' sleep after watching until 2am, then heard some dumb 80's rock song I can't identify playing over and over in my brain all night, and dreamed I was being attacked by hordes of ants.
Thank God they only do this every four years.
Oddly, when I went to bed hearing that the
Democrats might be suing for recounts in
Ohio, I woke up singing The Smiths's "That
Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"...

Types of insurance: transfers of annuities
Annuities provide a pension in retirement. Typically a policyholder pays contributions to a pension plan for a number of years, which are invested by a life insurance provider in order to create a fund from which the annuities are purchased. The annuity can be bought from the pension provider who invested the contributions or another pension provider utilising the fund created. Some pension providers allow the purchase of the annuity to be deferred. The annuity once purchased, may also provide an income for a spouse or other dependants on the death of a policyholder. The income paid out under the annuity is calculated by the insurer and the risk to them is that they have insufficient funds to make the payouts. Therefore, they invest the funds contributed by the policyholder and create a portfolio of assets in order to meet their obligations under the annuity contracts, and to make a profit for themselves.
A pension annuity business, that is the on-going management of the assets and administration of payouts to policyholders, may be transferred between life insurance providers and can include both annuities that are paying out and those that are still to mature. The transfer of the pension annuity business also includes the funds and assets that the insurer holds to cover the projected liabilities in terms of annuities to be paid. The assets may be valued conservatively or may exceed the value of the projected liabilities.
Where there is a transfer of a bundle of assets such as annuity contracts, funds and tangible assets, customer lists, etc, without other elements of the insurer's business, such as staff or goodwill there may be a transfer of part of a business that falls to be treated as a TOGC under SI 95/1268 as part of an undertaking capable of carrying on an independent economic activity.
It is usual, where a business is being transferred, for the transferor to receive a payment from the transferee in consideration for the business. However, in the transfer of a pension annuities business the transferee acquires the annuity contracts and the assets. There is no payment made to the transferor in respect of the transfer. The transferor may dispose of all or part of their annuity business in this manner in order to reduce their exposure or risk by divesting themselves of the liabilities under the annuities business. Conversely, the transferee may be more amenable to the risk and may see potential for future profits, especially where the value of transferred assets is equal to or exceeds the projected liabilities under the annuities.
Article 19 of the principal VAT Directive 2006/112 (formerly Article 5(8) of the 6th Directive) envisages that a transfer of assets for no consideration can be a TOGC. The annuity contracts are in effect obligations to make payments to the policyholders and the assets are the investments that produce an income to meet those obligations. When the business is transferred the risk or obligation under the annuity contracts passes from one insurer to the other. Therefore the transfer of annuity contracts and assets, for no consideration can be treated as a TOGC under SI 95/1268.
The transfer of investment funds or assets is not consideration for any supply by the transferee, even in circumstances where the funds or assets are greater than the projected liabilities under the annuity contracts. Unless the transferee is required to supply anything to the transferor, under the contract for the transfer, the surplus assets are treated as part of the investment fund that has been transferred.
The transferred assets may include property, and as explained in Notice 700/9 paragraph 2.4 a property rental business can form part of a TOGC.
Under FSMA 2000, Section 105, the insurers have to obtain permission from the Courts in order for a transfer to take place. While permission is being sought the annuity contracts are novated to the transferee, although the transferor remains nominally responsible and continues to have a legal relationship with the policyholders until the transfer is officially sanctioned. The risk during the transfer period is that the transferor is still obliged to make payouts to the policyholders under the annuity contracts. Therefore the transferor enters into an insurance contract with the transferee, which means that any payouts made to policyholders by the transferor are effectively reimbursed by the transferee. The insurance contract is a separate arrangement between the two insurers and exists separately from the contract for the transfer of the business. Therefore, any premium payment made by the transferor to the transferee under the insurance contract does not form part of the transfer of assets, but is consideration for a separate supply by the transferee.

NEWPORT BEACH — Ensign Intermediate School is trying out a new scheduling model that seeks to help struggling math students from falling too far behind.
The plan, geared for seventh-grade pre-algebra classes, diverts the underachieving students into a separate class, which re-teaches them the material over the course of a few days.
Afterward, the students return to their peers for the next lesson.
"A lot of kids were falling through the cracks," pre-algebra teacher Kathy Brandes said, but now the teachers are able to "give extra help to the kids who needed extra help."

Iraq's military – one trained and provisioned by the US military – stalled while fighting militia in Basra. So much so that the militia took over parts of Baghdad in retaliation. This all happens only a few hours after the President says, "HAY ALL GOOD IN IRAQ, PPL! GG, GG!" Again, I assert he should not say anything else until his Presidency is over, just to keep the opposite/bad stuff from happening.
The Australians are leaving. This leaves the US and Canada pretty much by themselves. However, they are going to keep sending humanitarian aid and help for those who are suffering. That's pretty decent of them, considering.
Senator Hagel is right – the US's image overseas sucks horrible ass (watch video). I offer North Korea as an example – the US seems to encourage the worst behavior in our allies and ourselves to the point that any progress made with troublesome countries is erased in mere days.
One attention whore tells the media to back off another attention whore. I had respect for Madonna once – until she became a dried up hippy bitch who acts worse than Tom Cruise sometimes.

Give up ice cream? That wasn't a possibility for 45-year-old Asher Radkowsky, whose sweet tooth rebelled when he tried to quit cones for good. But the vegetarian was troubled by the treatment of commercial dairy cows, so he decided he had to concoct a frozen dessert that would be good for him — and the world. There was just one problem: The D.C. native was a psychologist with zero culinary training.
In the summer of 2007, Radkowsky bought an ice cream maker online and began experimenting. "I had a number of bad ideas at first," he admits. But a friend of his had a good one: hemp milk. Although he'd heard health foodies discuss hemp before, Radkowsky was dubious about whether it had any actual benefits. "I just thought they were potheads trying to sound legitimate," he says.
It turns out that hemp has just miniscule amounts of THC — not enough to get a buzz or fail a drug test. But hemp seeds are loaded with manganese, riboflavin, omega-3, protein and fiber. When these seeds are ground up in water, they produce a milk. To sweeten the mix, Radkowsky used low-glycemic agave syrup. He discovered the results were pretty dope.
For the next three years, Radkowsky spent all his spare time in his cramped U Street studio apartment kitchen tinkering with his recipes until he settled on four flavors: chocolate; chocolate raspberry; chocolate mint; and Gianduja, a chocolate-hazelnut combo. All are 190 calories per serving (except Gianduja, which has 220).
His "Zendulgence" pints ($7 each) finally hit freezers at the end of last year and are available at five area stores. But Radkowsky has high hopes for expanding the treat's availability.
Where to Buy: Yes! Organic Market (2123 14th St. NW); Takoma Park Silver Spring Co-op (201 Ethan Allen Ave., Takoma Park, Md.; and 8309 Grubb Road, Silver Spring); Roots Market (5805 Clarksville Square Drive, Clarksville, Md.; and 16800 Georgia Ave., Olney, Md.)

My ip was 192.168.103 and had azureus running fast and smooth with no Nat problem but then my router changed my ip to 192.168.100 and so I changed all the port forwarding to the new ip.. Thats when the problem started, my Azureus showed all my connections as NAT. The only way I got it bt working again was to use a static 192.168.103 ip even though I had port forward to the correct port when the ip was 192.168.100..

Based on my research, I think it would be a smart idea to have usability testing to get another set of eyes or a perspective on how users will use my site. For example, for the most recent project I created a website without considering people who might look at the site on a mobile device. Usability is necessary because it is proven to decrease support costs, increase user satisfaction, and save on development and redesign efforts (blastam.com).
Another reason I think usability testing is needed for web design is because it measures behavior, not preference. This can help me to understand what best supports the user's goals and motivations.
Usability testing can make the site successful because it is an extra step that puts the users first. "The biggest challenge a website manager has is to understand how humans work, not how content management software or search engines work" (cmswire.com).
CMS wire refers to usability testing as a dire step for a website's designed success. A website can be designed beautifully and colorfully, but that's not the purpose of the site in the end. It all depends on the audience and the user's experience.
"User behavior can change depending [on] the age, experience and interest of the user." A great reason for usability testing. If I make a website on Veganism, I have to expect audiences of all types to understand what it is, and without user behavior in mind, I have practically just made a website for myself.

What on earth is going on there? Would indeed be very nice to know! Looks kinda scary
Thats my turn now – Photoshop.
needs more lens flare
Photoshops don't blow this way. It was Windows Vista SP1 !
It must have been this out of order american spy satellite falling down on Earth.
A pair of lights projected into a column of steam. Whoopee!
mmm it looks like there's activity in the Zone…
Is this real? I heard nothing of this :O
Strange – today in the very early morning German local time (around 04:00) I heard a huge and very loud sound – as same as a landing jet – but couldn't see anything.
First: Here in the middle of Berlin thera are not any jet-landings in the middle of the night.
Second: It sound LONG … at least three times longer then any conventional Jet-landing.
I agree with all of the above!
Has terrorism been ruled out?
Aside from oil and gas exploration and refineries, Nyagan has a very large international airport. Was this some kind of failed take-off or landing? Fog can make even a downed electrical transformer visible far away, so this explosion doesn't have to be Chernobyl-sized.
How distant was the photographer from the scene? Any idea what is located in that area of Nyagan?
FIRST!! yeah that is right I am first!
Very apocalyptic looking.
Is it Cloverfield in real life?
That flame column is kind of unreal.
That's so the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
They need to put the lid back on that thing.
Weapons testing.
Actually we had a report of something like that here in the States, but there was no sound or explosion that came with it. Just a gigantic cylinder of light into the sky. Over here we figured it was either a ufo, or weapons testing. Over there i'd say it was either weapons testing or an industrial accident that was covered up maybe? But what the heck is that weird cylinder of light?
I don't think it's photoshop.
Right. This is how Photoshop looks like: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/features/
Was it the Russian Air force conducting training missions?
was the sound from a breaking of the sound barrier?
Whats the deal ?
i would say the photographer are 5~8 miles away
it's funny that the fraud site rense is linking to this and making it out to be more than it is. But what do you expect from jeff rense, on his nice govt wage. Rense, the site that changes the word in articles it posts, post articles years old as new, and Jeff Rense, personal friend and supporter of a pedophile and a fraud.
Got proof??????? IF not, STFU!
Great rant, but, where's the proof of your accusations?
Gas explosion.I've heard no official comments on tv, but i've found here
http://www.gazeta.ru/news/lenta/2008/02/17/n_1177481.shtml (in russian, sorry )
article that 17 feb 1:33 a gas explosion was seen by locals. yet there is no proof.

Stop crying and go play with your dolls!
Dude, like Bush or not (most don't) – more than 50% voted for him over Kerry, even after 4 inept years beforehand. Not sure that's the government's fault… Or how it's "hijacking." Seems like a "people" problem. Hijacking is what happens when Presidents take power, and then change the rules to never let go of it (Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Belarus, anyone?). At the very least, it's a shame that out of 300 million people, we couldn't come up with better options than Bush/Kerry (lose/lose)
I guess we could have an even better choice: The Commies, the LDPR, or the pre-ordained winners (yedinaya rossiya)!
Good luck with your being awake. smootches.
"more than 50% voted for him over Kerry"
No actually Kerry got something like 55% of the vote. But because of how screwed up the electoral system is Bush got the presidency anyways. The majority of people did not want him there in the first place and even more than that now want him out now. The state governments have more say in who becomes the president than the people so it's not fair to blame them.
Venezuela is not a dictatorship but a republic like the US used to be. The pres is democratically elected and that's why he's an enemy of the bushco. Only US subservient dictators are allowed.
Your argument regarding 50% of American voters is well spoken, however hardly concrete, considering the fact that the nation was voting out of a "fear" policy which was, and continues to be the base of the Bush admin. "Terrorists are everywhere, choose us if you want to keep safe" you may be awake, but are you aware? Question EVERYTHING, find the truth for yourself, not from what CNN feeds us.
heh you think WE voted for bush?!?! WRONG!! Do a little research on ELECTION FRAUD! – and then you will know it's not who you vote for in America, it's who counts the votes. Time for American Revolution #2! Let's get it on! I'll take the neocons myself.
Fuel / rocket testing is what it looks like to me. Probably NASA's JPL testing a booster, or a new engine.
my thought as well
Ditto. The sound of a "jet" landing is the first clue.
I live in N. California, miles form Aerojet, and they used to test rocket motors and I could hear them at my house in the hills which was probably 25-30 miles from Aerojet as the crow flies.
If there is an airport there they could be testing aircraft engines, otherwise it is proably a break in a steam pipe.
If these are real pictures…
Doesn't the sky look like its 'congealing' around the beam, forming a giant funnel cloud covering the whole sky? Looks almost like Ghostbusters when the bleep hits the fan.
If this was some kind of high-energy beam or whatever, I could see it affecting the local barmoetric pressure. Sorta the way our chemical weapons–I mean, fuel-air bombs, suck the oxygen out of an area by using it up.
Also, as previous posters mentioned, in the United States, our country is no longer our own. Even if "50%" as one poster mentioned, voted for Bush in the last election, our elections are clearly rigged as well as influenced by a government-controlled media. Please send help!
looks and sounds like a BLEVE( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blevy )
google earth these coord's
62'12'59.64 65'29'17.08
Thank you for introducing a new word to me. We could hear and see the "Edison Fireball" from our home, which was 6 miles away from the ruptured pipeline. Now we understand it was a BLEVE.
naa, it was me , the chechnian tomato salesman raping puppies on the streets of russian towns bugaga bugaga
@ Soviet Russia will always be great
There were people like you here in the United States when Stalin & Lenin were in power who said the same things of Russia . . .
It was just another drunk Russian trying to make vodka in their bathtub. Prolly passed out smoking his cat turd of a cigarette and blew up his cardboard house.
Pipeline or oil/gas refinery explosion most likely.
yup, it appears to be genuine – follow the link courtesy of Aiwan
no, it was not an atom bomb test behind the next appartment block, but rather a LARGE explosion in the natural gas pipeline running from the western siberian oil and gas fields.
machine translation from the russian press 17/02/08
In Nyagani occurred the explosion on the gas pipe explosion on the gas pipe it occurred in the city Of nyagan' of Khanty Mansiysk autonomous area. The eyewitnesses of incident report about this.
Official confirmation has not been obtained.
source – gazeta.ru
personally, i might have gone as far as suggesting a full-scale test of a new *air-defence* technology, but i seem to have been pwned by reality, lol
so, in theory – this explosion SHOULD register on the USGS international database of earthquakes for the day.
a super tesla ray… i mean it literally looks like it is coming down not going up… and the smoke pattern doesn't seem to be affiliated with the light as much as it appears to be dispersing from it.
What happened. That morning I bought bottle of home made vodka form stinkin' fat old Igor. I try all day to open bottle. Finally I put bottle in big drum of gasoline and try to put the gasoline on fire. Whta happens: first two seconds nothing so I try to take back my bottle. Then the bottle suddenly flies up in the air like rocket. My shapka completely ruined. Now militsia very angry because my bottle fell on their new car. Next time I see stikin' Igor I'll knock out his last tooth.
I finally caught Stinkin' Igor. But I forgot why I had to catch him. Came back to website, remembered, now he is gone again.
Looks like a rocket motor test to me. They orient them upside down so they don't fly away.
Dear Friens
I heared this explosion news from CYPRUS (Small island below TURKEY). We assume that this was gas pipe explosion, and we assume that this big explosion was unimportant for press and other media and also for government.
Do they have internet in Nyagan. If they have why they are not writing any comment under this important news?
Mr. NYAGAN please speak if you are there. And explain us what happend.
Thank you
Bush will be judged by history as
the best president ever, as he had the courage
to fight conquering Islam.
The anti-Bush intoxication come from the American communists…traitors and degenerate dope soaked hippies.
Communists being the same people that keep Russians in misery with the FSB/KGB of Vlad "Dracula" Putin.
Czarist Russia was no 2 after America.
Now the average Russian make $20 a month
while the average American make $5,000 a month.
Putin is the next Stalin and is about to re-open the Gulag Archipelago, get ready to pack your bags Ivan Ivanov!
After the Beslan Massacre, Putin surrendered to Islam
and is now working with the terrorists, be they
Cuban, Chinese, Venezuelan, Saudi or Iranians…
(not that you left it by much!)
fight conquering Islam? What did they conquer during the last 300 years?
"fight conquering Islam? What did they conquer during the last 300 years?"
They own 90% of the world media, they have conquered England, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia as we speak, Putin is their puppet,
they have South America in the bag…look at Thailand, the general controlling the King is a muslim,
in America, they have a presidential candidate, they
are creeping into everything…there soon will be no refuge
from the cancer called allah!
Even the jewish president of France, Sarkosy, have
surrendered in the hope that they will not saw off his head!!! He can count on it!!!
The only safe place is China!!! Anyone want
to live in that gulag???
62′12′59.64 65′29′17.08 does nothing, fool
This is an common effect in cold wintertimes and is called a "halo" effect.
"A light pillar is a visual phenomenon created by the reflection of light from ice crystals with near horizontal parallel planar surfaces. The light can come from the sun (usually at or low to the horizon) in which case the phenomenon is called a sun pillar or solar pillar. It can also come from the moon or from terrestrial sources such as streetlights."
So, the light pillar wich seems to be somekinda blast, is only an optical reflection from a light source from ground.

When I go into a review I always start with an open mind despite anything I have heard from word of mouth or read on another blog. This allows me to share an 100 percent honest review no matter good or bad. I always include links to the products I have tested or that my kids have tested. In each post pictures of the items are placed into our review, our personal experience is clear to our readers. product detail to show what the company has to say about their products is always included. Our readers know that what they are reading on 1mommy2monsters is in fact the truth.
As a mother of 2 I feel appreciated by companies who are confident to send myself or my kids products to try out in exchange for our honesty. This shows me that big or small, many companies do care.

Bristol shortlisted for best city life in national university awards
7 March 2018
City life in Bristol is up there with the best in Britain, according to students who have voted for the University of Bristol in the latest Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2018.
Bristol has been shortlisted alongside nine other universities, including Cardiff, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool, based on the opinions of a record-breaking 36,423 students who have cast their opinions across the UK over the last 12 months.
The official winners of the Whatuni Student Awards 2018 will be announced on 19 April at a ceremony in London, being hosted by stand-up comedian Katherine Ryan.
Now in their fifth year, the awards provide prospective students with an unbiased, student-led alternative to traditional university ranking systems. The awards are based on averages taken from tens of thousands of reviews submitted by students and published on Whatuni.com.
The University of Bristol won the 'best city life' award in 2015, was nominated in 2016 and is hoping to be a strong contender again.
Charlotte Wilson, Head of Student Marketing, said: "We know city life is a major part of the university experience and it's fantastic to have such a strong vote of confidence once again from our students. It would be brilliant to regain our title, especially given the stiff competition from other universities in fantastic cities.
"Bristol ticks so many boxes, which is why many students decided to stay here once they graduate. It doesn't only offer a good nightlife, but there an abundance of culture, a vibrant music scene, countless festivals, free activities, beautiful green spaces and lots of independent shops and cafes."
Student reviews describe the city as 'vibrant', 'amazing' and 'diverse', with 'always something going on for everyone' and 'lots of art and music'.
Eleni Cashell, Editor of Whatuni, said: "Being nominated for an award is a huge achievement, because the only judges at the WUSCAs are the students themselves. It showcases to both prospective students and the higher education sector that your institution offers value for money, provides a good student experience and has a highly satisfied and supported student community."

(Via Instapundit) For the record: I give Mennonites a bit of a pass on peace issues, largely because I don't get the impression that they routinely change their views in order to benefit the Democratic party*. The Republic has endured the pacifism of the Mennonites without collapsing for two centuries and a bit, now: presumably we will endure a bit longer, even if one of their colleges doesn't want to play the National Anthem at sporting events, the hyper-sensitive, freeloading ninnies**.
Still, this response to the Goshen College Board of Directors is… well, read it.
Responding to the decision, President Brenneman said, "I am convinced that Goshen College is on a challenging and rewarding journey toward becoming a more diverse institution that serves an increasingly diverse community. I am hopeful that this resolution will help Goshen College move forward together, and focus on finding new ways to welcome students from our local and regional community."
What does that even mean?
Moe Lane
PS: You know why we mention ROCKETS AND BOMBS in our national anthem? Because giving fair warning can stop a fight before it starts. Given that the USA's usual way of stopping a fight once it starts is to turn the other side's terrain into a reasonable approximation of a lunar landscape, I feel that this is rather magnanimous of us.
*You want to know who meant it about being against the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq? Look to see who's still protesting. Mind you, doing so will mostly be an exercise in showing you the difference between contemptible knaves and abject fools, so you may not want to bother.
**Actually, yes, I do have the right to call them that. What with being a free citizen, and all.

Learn How to Reduce DVT Risks
During and after Orthopedic Surgery
Patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, such as total knee or hip replacement, are at a high risk of Venous Thromboembolism or blood clot formation that can lead to DVT (a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs) and PE Pulmonary Embolism (serious condition that can be lethal).
Anticoagulants are drugs that are frequently used as a preventive therapy for VTE/DVT in orthopedic surgeries. However, anticoagulants increase the risk of major bleeding complications.
ActiveCare® line of products are clinically proven to prevent DVT at least as good as leading drugs without increasing the risk of bleeding complications.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Nordic Walking Gear and other Nordic Walking topics.
You can use your cross-country skiing poles for Nordic walking, but you're much better off with specialized Nordic walking poles. After all, the poles are the only equipment you need for this activity, so you might as well have the right ones. Cross-country ski poles are designed for snow, with baskets and hand straps to aid control. If, by chance, you decide to go Nordic walking on a snowy trail, they could work, but they're not much good on asphalt. Nordic walking poles usually have a rubber tip for walking on streets, tracks, or dirt trails. Some may have metal tips for use on hilly hikes, or you can use trekking poles for that. Don't use poles without the rubber tip unless they have the special metal tip. Check with the manufacturer to be sure. You can choose adjustable or non-adjustable poles for Nordic walking. These poles are more springy and less stiff than skiing or trekking poles. One of their advantages is you can go right out your door and use them for Nordic walking, without traveling to the mountains.
Great info about Nordic Walking!
XC ski poles can work for Nordic Walking on trails and off-road. They are typically to long, but on trails can help to give you a good feel about the many fantastic benefits of Nordic Walking.
The important thing is to have the Perfect Length Poles and correct technique.
Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back - better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout - burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking.
We also recommend one-piece poles because they are safer, lighter and more durable than twist-locking adjustable/telescoping/collapsible poles.
Real Nordic Walking poles include comfortable fingerless glove type straps. The best ones are patented by the Salomon Ski Company.
Walking with poles is the best!

The Crowdfunding Professional Association and the University of Utah will host the first-ever national event that will analyze the impact of legal framework for equity-based "crowdfund investing" enabled by historic JOBS Act.
Beginning today and scheduled through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the University of Utah Guest House and Conference Center, the CrowdFunding Made Simple conference will allow entrepreneurs, business owners, professional service providers and investors to obtain a deeper understanding of crowd funding directly from some of the industry leaders behind this groundbreaking business platform.
With the historic Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act signed into law on April 5, a legal framework for equity-based "crowd fund investing" has been established and the potential for a much larger and expanded global crowd funding community has been unleashed.
"We are pleased to bring to Utah a group of innovators who have ignited crowd funding both as an Internet-based platform and now potentially as an equity-based investment model," said Richard Swart, co-founder of CrowdFunding Made Simple, director of strategic programs at Grow America Insights and executive committee member of the Crowdfunding Professional Association. "While much has been achieved in crowd funding to date, most entrepreneurs and investors across the country are not yet familiar with it. We look forward to providing a summit for education and interaction on this vital new capital creation concept right here in one of the entrepreneurship capitals of America."

"Starting a business is never easy, which is why I feel strongly about participating in and sponsoring this cutting-edge conference on crowd fund investing," said Hall. "Entrepreneurs, investors, private equity, lawyers, accountants, marketing professionals – all of them will benefit and be interested in accessing the latest developments on this historic and timely new business model.

WASHINGTON — The sweeping tax overhaul bill approved by the Senate Finance Committee would benefit the great majority of taxpayers -- but a substantial number would be worse off than under current law.
In the low and middle income brackets, nearly all taxpayers would profit under the Finance Committee bill, and about 6 million low-income people would be dropped from the tax rolls altogether. Most of the losers, according to calculations by the Los Angeles Times and private tax experts, would be in the upper income brackets.

Learning to effectively co-parent
How do we presume to get along with folks who just won't cooperate with us? After a separation, break-up or divorce, sometimes the tidal wave of emotions remain, feelings of anger, resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness all just seem to be the driving force behind ineffective co-parenting.
With these unresolved emotions the children get caught in the middle of parents' conflicts, who are not able to interact amicably or come to an agreement on any subject matter pertaining to the child. This child or children now develop emotional, psychological and psychosocial starvation that often times leads to disturbing behaviours.
Late last year, two-year-old Soriah Martin was killed during an argument between her father, mother and uncle. In a fit of rage the father, a lawman, shot at the child's uncle striking him in the arm but also fatally shooting his own daughter in the head.
In response to the incident president and founder of Single Father's Association of T&T, Rondell Feeles expressed there was need for better ways of co-parenting.
But is co-parenting even recognised as a legal and legitimate family structure in T&T whereby there are rules, regulations and guidelines that govern this family type structure? Social worker and human rights activist Alsoona Boswell-Jackson says no. And with an almost steady climb in the divorce rate in T&T from 2005 -2015 totalling 27,950 documented by the Central Statistical Office (CSO), more and more families have moved into the co-parenting family structure. The statistics for 2016-2017 are not yet known.
Effecting successful co-parenting
With this reality how then can effective and successful co-parenting exist?
Boswell-Jackson says co-parenting can be effective or ineffective depending on how the relationship ended or really who is considered to be the guilty party.
In her years of social work and dealing with such actual cases, Boswell-Jackson says two main types of co-parenting are observed they are what is defined as cooperative co-parenting where the both parents are involved in the child's or children's lives and their well being and they hardly ever attack each other. Both decided to end the relationship amicably and place the child as the central focus.
The other is the conflictual co-parenting where both parents hardly ever agree on anything concerning the child. They are very argumentative and consistently attack each other, so the co-parenting isn't effective because it is not about the child but rather the parents.
For this type of parenting Boswell-Jackson says social workers use what they refer to as the strategic problem solving model. She relates it is where the focus is set deliberately on the behavioural issue or matter pertaining to the child; it has nothing to do with both parents. They get the parents to solely focused on the damage their conflict is doing to the child and then ways are introduced to them as well as training on how best they can integrate to help solve the problem that is facing them.
Child divided love for parents
With ineffective co-parenting, Boswell-Jackson says psychologically and emotionally the child will be experiencing much internal confusion, causing them to lash out in various forms.
These forms can take on the role of bullying because their emotional psychological and psychosocial needs are not being met. They are confused, she notes, because of the conflictual parents at times may even try to engage that child in negative discussion about the other parent.
"Now the child loves both parents but they are not really in a position to have positive conversations on either side with either parent so that child is in a toxic environment and that now manifests itself in various behavioural issues," she reiterates.
When co-parenting is in the cooperative setting Boswell-Jackson says you will find that the child is well balanced and doesn't chose one parent over the other nor tries to have their own way with one or the other because both parents are on the same page and keep the conversations about the child.
However in a conflictual setting she warns the child could become manipulative and tricky; especially teenagers and young adults who tend to want their own way.
"We have had cases where you may find that they will try to put one parent against the other. And sometimes parents even weigh in on this knowing exactly what the child is doing, to try to get back at each other. It is really a very complicated and dangerous thing, this conflictual co-parenting style," says Boswell-Jackson.
One party co-parenting
Outside of these two common styles of parenting Boswell-Jackson also points to the "one party effective-co-parent."
She says this is where you may have one parent, parenting in a healthy way conducive to the holistic well-being of the child and the other parent is doing the opposite, you will find the co-parenting will become ineffective and eventually it will hamper the child's well-being because the child becomes confused, portraying developmental problems.
"The confusion of having one parent seeming normal while the other isn't. For example, one parent being stern, while the other is being permissive, this causes the child to gravitate towards the permissive parent more, because he or she feels there is a sense of 'freedom' to do his or her own thing, and some parents might be deliberate with this action to score points.
"In order for co-parenting to be really effective, from what I have seen, there is need for a few things; open communication, compromise, sacrifice, empathy and understanding," Boswell-Jackson advises.
She emphasises parents have to understand from the get go once the relationship is over, that it is about the child and not each other. "If the child is the focus then co-parenting will become easy but sadly that takes a level of maturity that sometimes we do not see in parents," says Boswell-Jackson.|
n Stay tuned for part two of effective co-parenting with ten questions parents must ask themselves in co-parenting. President and Chief Executive Officer, Clinical Therapist and Clinical Traumatologist at The Centre For Human Development Group of Companies Limited, psychologist Hanif E Benjamin, will guide.
Alsoona Boswell-Jackson outlined some guidelines that can aid in effective co-parenting.
• Rules and boundaries that affect the child should be consistent and agreed upon at the both homes.
• Parents should commit to positive talk about the other parent in the presence of the child.
• Beware of slippery slopes as parents when co-parenting. This is not allowing the child to manipulate either parent to get their own way.
• Do not burden your children about your exes and their problems. Do not tell your child he or she is just like their mother or father. Do not tell your children how many partners you believe their father or mother has.
• Do not use children as weapons to hurt the ex-partner.
• Exercise responsible behaviour in the presence of the child. Do not allow any type of conflict, arguments or fights to take place between you as parents and even at either home.

I used to give a f***. But I no longer do…respectively.
There are just areas of life that will f*** you over, and that's just reality.
Even if you figure out of those areas, new ones arise to make sure you don't enjoy the race too much. It's just life…
For example, I cut sex out of my life, or perhaps sex just weaved itself out for me. It does n't really matter how. It just does n't happen.
A huge misconception about the recording industry is that you just f*** every girl you want. Well, such is not real. Yes, more take notice of you, but women are innately evil. So there's bulls*** that comes along with them. I think too much for them. That pretty much explains how I've gone this far without kids or marriage. But, there was a progression to this choice or existence for me. The frustration for me is the relentless aspect of my nature. So life for me strongly suggest an on going battle with a foe that can never truly be defeated.
My means for success has gained me one f****in hour. All the readings, workouts, anxiety, insomnia, self talk, gave me one hour. I'm so lost & hungry that I have no choice but to be grateful. Currently, I hate my choice to entertain, but graciousness is an going plight that true winners force through amid it's entirety.
As for this seemingly unending aspect of wrong in my life. I just expose it, so others can see how f****ed up our so called angels are making things for me. I've come close to suicide so often, that I've accepted that that emotional current means wait a while. But, why does it have to take that. I insanely yet realistically understand why people take their lives so often. It's as if the Angels or God are aware of this effect on us and allows it to transpire.
Right or wrong, it's real….

GloFish require neutralized water that is free from chemicals such as chlorine and ammonia. They subsist on flaked food and live food, such as brine shrimp. These fish should not be overfed, as any uneaten food will pollute the tank. The best water temperature for GloFish ranges between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Each month, approximately 25 to 50 percent of the GloFish's water should be changed.
GloFish require adequate lighting during the day and darkness at night. They benefit from the use of an aquarium filter to remove toxins from the water. GloFish should be kept in groups, as they are schooling fish. They should be kept in a proper tank, rather than a bowl, and should not be overcrowded. Tanks should be kept away from direct sunlight and heating lamps to avoid harmful algae growth.
GloFish are a patented and trademarked brand of genetically modified fluorescent fish. They are available from the Yorktown Technologies company in a range of colors, including red, green, orange, blue, purple and pink. GloFish were first bred to help detect environmental pollutants. It was soon realized that the general public had an interest in the fish as pets, so the company capitalized on the technology in late 2003. GloFish are bred from the original line of genetically modified fish. They are born with their vibrant color and maintain it for their entire lives. These fish are not injected with dyes.

I asked a Mom Friend at a birthday party — we were both waiting in the car for 2+ hours while our kids jumped on gigantic trampolines — since she's East Asian what East Asian KidLit was in her bookshelves. She said there wasn't a lot available and it's true.

Two men wanted on murder charges in separate cases are now in custody, Columbus Police homicide detectives said Monday.
Harry Lee Lathon Jr., 23, a North Linden resident, is charged with aggravated murder in the Dec. 13 shooting death of Jason Andrew Collins, 32, at a house on the Hilltop.
Lathon is accused of forcing his way into a house at 100 N. Harris Ave. around 2 a.m., going up the stairs and fatally shooting Collins along with Joseph Richard Collins, Jr., 35, who survived, court and police records show. Lathon was charged shortly after the incident occurred.
On Feb. 6, an argument just after 1 a.m. inside a house in the 500 block of East Welch Avenue led to the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Chad Edward Dunlap.
Columbus police immediately announced they were looking for Caleb Michael Kazlausky, 20, who shared the South Side residence with Dunlap. Two women had called police after the incident occurred and one of them later told police that she saw Kazlausky shoot Dunlap, court records show.

YEKATERINBURG, May 20 (Itar-Tass) - About 30 kilograms of cream puffs were removed from sale in the Russian Urals city of Chelyabinsk on Monday after a salmonellosis outbreak was reported from here, a spokeswoman for the Chelyabinsk region police department told Itar-Tass.
"The police have found 12 outlets selling these products. About 30 kilograms of cream puffs were removed from sale. A working group has been set up to find other outlets. An investigation is underway," she said.
Earlier on Monday, it was reported that 36 people, including eight children, were hospitalized with salmonellosis in Chelyabinsk. Two patients are in serious condition. "All these people ate cream puffs sold in a shop at the Kurchatovsky district bazaar. Measures are taken to find out the manufacturer of these cream puffs," a spokeswoman for the city health department told Itar-Tass.
Meanwhile, according to latest reports, the number of those infected went up to 41. Five more persons, including three children, were hospitalized with salmomellosis in Kopeisk. They are in satisfactory condition.
According to preliminary information, the pastry was made by a Kopeisk-based company. Last year, more than 80 people got poisoned by the products of that company. A criminal case was opened then and by now it has been referred to court.
A source in the Kopeisk administration told Itar-Tass that the company's managers do not let officials to inspect the pastry shop. "The company rents premises in Kopeisk where it makes pastry. At this moment, the company's managers bar official from accessing the shop. According to senior aid to the Kopeisk prosecutor, Alexei Pozdnyakov, negotiations are underway with the owner of the premises," the source said.
Medics however say the number of the infected is to go up, since the latent period ranges from six hours to six days.

BIG News!!! Drum roll please. . . . .
I'm officially in training. Training to participate in a 5K, this mama is lacing up her pink and white tennis shoes to walk in the American Heart Association START! Heart Walk on May 2nd, in St. Louis. I am so excited!
I have wanted to walk in it for several years now, but this year I am doing it! I first considered it a few years back, walking in Nathaniel's memory, but I didn't. So this year, I decided, there is no time like the present and I am going to walk. I'm walking for several reasons. These are in no particular order--personal accomplishment, to raise money and awareness to a cause that I am passionate about (and hits very closely to my heart) and it is something productive to do annually in honor of Nathaniel. The most important reason being the last one. According to the AMA 36,000 children are born with a heart defect each year! I was a mama with a baby in that statistic group almost 9 years ago and if it hadn't been for research and research funding, my precious Nathaniel wouldn't have lived past 15 minutes, literally. I also want to add that I believe that God's a healer. First and fore most prayer should go up for those dealing with or born with heart disease, but I also believe that God gave some people the brilliance to work on these kiddos and others to be giving enough to fund the brilliant. So let me say, emphatically, that God brought Nathaniel through those three years and he used some very kind, amazing, brilliant and talented people to complete that task! I know that the Great Physician guided our earthly physicians and what a team they made!!
~~Shout out to Dr. Eric Medelloff (the surgeon), Dr. David Balzer (Nathaniels primary Cardiac doc) the Cardiac Team and the fabulous staff of St. Louis Children's Hospital!! You guys ROCK!!~~
Team Nathaniel has been formed. I have a personal web page through the AMA and a Team Page. Right now the team is me, I haven't started recruiting yet, so if you want to join me you are more than welcome. I shouldn't really say it's just me. Makiah is walking with me and I am pushing the boys. This is a family event. Hubs will be designing a Team Nathaniel t-shirt for those walking. If you can't walk, but you want to help, sponsoring is good too. No pressure to do either, I just wanted to share with all of you what I am doing. Joining and/or sponsoring can be done on those two web pages. Join on the team page and donations can be made on my personal page.
Now, here's your heart tip for Saturday: go nuts!! You have now been given permission to go nuts--walnuts, cashews, flaxseeds or sesame seeds, macadamias and most importantly almonds. Nuts pack a healthy punch for your heart by providing some healthy fats. They also give you something crunchy to munch on with the benefit of it being good for you. Watch out for the salted ones, they pack too much sodium! I like to add raw nuts to my salads or throw them in my chicken meals. Pack some to munch on during those walks for a nutritious boost of energy or as a cure for the afternoon drag. One serving at a time is just perfect for great health!
Gotta run now, do some cleaning, then off to celebrate Dad. Tomorrow is his birthday! I'll be posting pics tomorrow of my wonderful daddy!
I hope everyone is having a splendid Saturday!!
