I am imagining things lately, thanks to cough and colds mixed with a slight fever - I guess my body is now reacting to weather and stress from daily work. Almost everyday I am sweating so much as if my body has pool heat pumps . My shirt is literally drenched with sweat.
I can feel the summer heat now in this little town, and I should be looking for the best place to kill the summer heat temporarily, like a pool or a beach.

Commentary: The Last Acceptable Intolerance
21 Jan 2014
Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day, a good time to reflect on discrimination and tolerance. Since MLK died in 1968, the country has made great strides to eliminate racial discrimination against minorities.
Even today there continue to be many social movements that rally behind the slogans of ending discrimination and promoting tolerance. And yet, there's at least one exception to this trend: the anti-smoking movement.
First, let me state that I'm not morally equating discrimination against smokers with racial discrimination. But in a time where anti-discrimination and tolerance are considered fundamental societal values, you'd be hard-pressed to find any group of law abiding citizens besides tobacco smokers against whom discrimination is not only accepted but promoted.
Legal discrimination against smokers has become the norm. A majority of states have passed laws prohibiting people from smoking in privately owned venues like bars and restaurants, and some even extend these laws to cars, apartments, and private cigar clubs. The same goes for many outdoor areas like public parks, sidewalks, beaches, and golf courses.
We're told private choices should be respected, but our laws say otherwise. And while we're told that the science of second-hand smoke justifies this discrimination, outdoor smoking bans prove the anti-smoking movement has other motivations. (Plus, recent studies show the science of second-hand smoke doesn't justify the claims made to support indoor bans.) It's gone so far that we're at the point where public policies that make it more difficult or expensive to use tobacco are de facto considered a good thing.
Maybe even more troubling is the promotion of social intolerance. Children have been propagandized into believing that the slightest whiff of distant tobacco smoke could do serious damage. If you've ever sat outside in a public area you'll see people waving their hands in front of their faces or holding their noses, and the younger they are the more likely they are to react with such ignorance. Children are taught to respect differences, except when it comes to smoking.
We're told and taught we should tolerate the choices other people make, and that judging people as groups and not as individuals is wrong. But the fact is large parts of society either don't really believe that intolerance and discrimination are wrong, or they are willing to be hypocritical when it comes to their fellow citizens who choose to smoke tobacco.

ECO Update 29 April 2018
ECO3, Time to Submit
As you will now know, ECO2t comes to an end at the end of September and ECO3 will start in October and run for three and a half years until 2022. A few weeks ago, BEIS and Ofgem issued consultation papers, which outlined what the world of ECO3 might look like. You may have read this and/or attended one of the roadshow events that were held recently, but it is essential that you now have your say, and submit a response to the consultations. The deadline for the BEIS consultationis 11.45pm this Sunday the 29thand the Ofgem deemed score consultationis the 16thMay.
Here are some headlines from both consultations in case you have missed them:
- CERO targets will be dropped altogether, the scheme will be 100% Affordable Warmth
- Benefit eligibility will be widened, income thresholds will be dropped from tax credits and additional benefits will be added including disability and child benefit (with an income threshold)
- Qualifying Boilers are now renamed "Broken Boilers"
- Broken boilers of all fuels (apart from renewables) will be capped at 35,000 per annum
- All deemed scores will drop by at least 30%
- Non gas qualifying boilers will lose their 45% uplift, so will reduce even further, but gas boilers lose their 20% deflation and get a boost in the revised deemed score calculations, so go up
- Oil and solid fuel boilers will be banned from being installed
- Non condensing gas and LPG boilers can be upgraded on an uncapped basis if an insulation measure is installed alongside
- Homes upgrading to a new district heating or renewable heating system do not have to have an insulation measure installed and do not need to be inefficient
- First time central heating, which includes homes with old/broken storage heaters, can be upgraded without insulation alongside
- POPT is being all but removed (at last!), as long as you install the measure to at least 67% of the property, scores are being reduced slightly as a trade off
- Energy suppliers may receive an unlimited carry over from ECO2t to ECO3 and a small "carry under" of around 10% of the last 18 months' target
- LA Flex is proposed to be increased to 25% of the target, up from 10%
- A new Innovation element of 10-20% may be introduced
- RHI and ECO will no longer be able to be combined (boo)
- 15% Rural target will remain but will now obviously be based on Affordable Warmth
- 17,000 home solid wall target will remain, but it looks like this may not actually be ring fenced for solid wall insulation (see Q:20 below)
Here is an excellent magic trick. I will give you £1,000, in return all I want is you to give me is 100 £10 notes. Rubbish trick eh? BEIS have announced that qualifying boilers, sorry, I mean Broken Boilers, totally different thing, will get a whopping 400% uplift. Wow! But before you run off and see how much money you will make from this, we should tell you about another change. Qualifying Boilers had a lifetime of 12 years, but in ECO3, Broken Boilers will have a lifetime of 3 years, so the score is reduced by a factor of 4. So basically, you are back where you started, but I suppose at least that is better than just having the decrease without the uplift?
BEIS Consultation
The BEIS consultation contains 42 questions, some of which are of interest to energy suppliers, such as how ECO targets are calculated, others will be industry specific such as those affecting insulation or heating companies and various other interested parties in between. The following comments are based on elements that I believe could have the biggest impact, and also which could hold the biggest opportunities. There are however a lot more that you should review in case they impact directly on you and your business.
Q4 Carry Over:BEIS are proposing that energy suppliers have an unlimited carry over of ECO2t works into ECO 3, but excluding oil or solid fuel boilers. Given that all deemed scores will drop by 30%, with many dropping by as much as 50%, if I was an energy supplier, I would be filling my boots between now and the end of September, as costs are clearly going to have to increase significantly for delivery to continue. The unlimited carry over is in my opinion a positive move, which should be supported by the industry, as it will prevent a hiatus over the summer as suppliers meet their targets over the coming months.
Q15 LA Flex:BEIS are consulting on an increase of LA Flex from 10% of the current Affordable Warmth target, to 25%. This could potentially have been higher, but because it doesn't look like the 10% will be spent this time round, BEIS may have struggled to convince ministers that a higher level was warranted. In my view, LA Flex represents one of the biggest opportunities under ECO3, and many local authorities have only recently become involved or have taken time to find their feet, to find Flex eligibility that works in their area and which local installers are able to work with. We would prefer to see LA Flex left uncapped, or, if a cap has to be put in place, a level of 40% rather than 25%.
If you agree that LA Flex is a major opportunity, please respond to question 15 requesting an uncapped level of LA Flex, or a 40% cap if this is not able to be agreed.
Q16 Oil Boilers:For years, homes heated by oil were shunned by ECO, in favour of the dash to gas boilers. I recall having to turn customers with oil heated homes away less than 2 years ago, only to find ourselves trawling back through the database to find them again when ECO2t started. The surge of oil boiler installations, albeit only around 11,500, has eaten up a large part of the ECO funding budgets, and with the Government's Clean Growth Strategy stating a desire to move people off of oil, BEIS are proposing a complete ban on oil boilers alongside solid fuel boilers which were minimal in any case. There is a hope that doing this will also enable more homes to be upgraded due to the lower costs of gas boilers and that more insulation measures will be targeted. However, I believe that this will leave people in rural areas and who do not have access to mains gas, those with some of the highest fuel bills, with no help whatsoever.
But wait, it is okay, the consultation allows for uncapped renewable heating upgrades! Let's jump to that holy grail of deemed scores, the 6 bed detached solid wall house, and see what funding we can receive.
Fantastic, so at, let's say 20p per LTS, you could receive £7,318 for installing a heat pump. Hmmm. A heat pump in a big 6 bed house. Solid walls. Upgrade all the radiators? New hot water cylinder? All those heat loss calcs and MCS kerfuffle? Hold on! Look at that LPG boiler score, that is over £6k and all I have to do is chuck in a couple of gas bottles, a cheap combi and Bob's your uncle! Shame the customer will see their energy bills go up by 300%, but that is ok, BEIS have taught me an excellent magic trick that I can use to cover this up :-).
So, what can be done for oil heated homes? We believe that BEIS should consider allowing oil boilers to be included if they are fuelled by a biofuel. Whilst the distribution for this is not yet well established, it is something that could be looked at and could help drive a wider move for customers to switch from traditional oil to a fuel which has much lower CO2 emissions. And that RHI be allowed to be claimed alongside ECO to make it financially viable to install heat pumps in replacement of oil.
Q17 First Time Central Heating (FTCH): Initially it was believed that there would be a minimum target for FTCH, but this appeared to have been dropped at the last minute. FTCH does however benefit from being outside of any heating caps and also there is no requirement to install an insulation measure alongside. Really though, in terms of a deemed score, this is just the same as a non-qualifying boiler upgrade in the current ECO. One area of concern however, is that by widening the definition of FTCH to include homes with storage heaters, social housing providers will now, for the first time, be able to replace their storage heater properties with full central heating, as long as the home is EPC E, F or G. This runs the risk of draining large sums of ECO money away from the private sector, and, if it is cross subsidised by the devolved governments with their generous grant funding schemes, it has the potential to drive down heating rates to an unsustainable level, as has happened already with solid wall insulation, which is now delivered predominantly in Scotland at significantly below the rate set in the financial impact assessment.
So we believe that FTCH should be excluded from social housing, where storage heaters are being replaced.
Q20 SWI:If you are a solid wall insulation installer, you need to take notice of this question. There is a shift by BEIS away from a solid wall insulation target, which is seen to be an expensive measure, towards a target which is aimed at solid wall homes, but is not necessarily for solid wall insulation. Instead, suppliers can install a bundle of measures which would generate the same savings as SWI, for example, loft, a boiler and hot water tank jacket. If suppliers can still obtain SWI measures at a competitive rate, perhaps through cross subsidisation in Scotland and Wales, then they are still likely to buy it, however, with this proposed change, the target could be deliverable through other groups of measures.
Q27 RHI:BEIS are proposing to ban the claiming of RHI when ECO has also been claimed. We believe that it is essential that the RHI and ECO continue to be allowed together, because ECO and RHI alone do not provide enough funding to allow renewables to be installed as a zero cost installation for fuel poor households. Allowing the combination of RHI and ECO will help achieve the Clean Growth Strategy, by moving people away from oil and over to heat pumps and biomass, it could also help to drive down costs, through increased volumes and through the development of a larger installer network.
Q28 Deemed score changes: When deemed scores were introduced, it was identified that there was a difference between the typical score achieved through an EPC, and the new deemed scores. A 30% uplift was applied to all deemed scores at this time, but this is now to be removed. This will have the effect of reducing all scores across the board by at least 30%, therefore necessarily pushing up the market cost for ECO funding rates. Other reductions are also being made, the 45% uplift currently applied to off gas heating upgrades is being removed. This has a bigger impact on some measures than others, for example, a broken oil boiler heated 3 bed semi home having an air source heat pump installed, will see a reduction of 43% in its score, whereas an LPG broken boiler swap in the same house only drops 13% overall.

Deep Purple to release newly restored 'California Jam' on Blu-ray December 2nd
For the first time the legendary performance by Deep Purple at the California Jam 1974 is set for a Blu-ray release via earMUSIC on December 2nd 2016. The gig features the Mark III Purple line-up that included new boys David Coverdale (Whitesnake) and Glenn Hughes (Trapeze). The newly restored edit comes with new artwork and liner notes. More details follow:
"California Jam 1974" will be released by earMUSIC on 2 December 2016 on DVD and Blu-ray formats. This release, never before available on Blu-ray, has been newly restored, features a brand new edit and comes with new artwork and liner notes.
1. Burn / 2. Might Just Take Your Life / 3. Lay Down, Stay Down / 4. Mistreated / 5. Smoke on the Water / 6. You Fool No One / The Mule / 7. Space Truckin'
In April 1974, the Mk III line-up consisting of David Coverdale (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Glenn Hughes (bass and vocals), Jon Lord (organ) and Ian Paice (drums) had just released the album "Burn" when they climbed the stage of the soon to become legendary festival California Jam. The phenomenon now known as Arena Rock was born there – and Deep Purple were at its epicentre. In many ways, the California Jam was the equivalent of the Woodstock festival to a burgeoning generation of hard rock and heavy metal fans.
The Jam took place at the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario, California on a hot and sunny spring day on April 6, '74. The event attracted an enormous crowd of a quarter-million people and represented a baptism of fire – in more ways than one – for Purple's 'new boys', frontman David Coverdale and bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, who in '73 had replaced Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, respectively, to usher in the band's so-called Mk III line-up.
Deep Purple were literally on fire during that time: due to some behind the scenes "feud" with the promoter, Deep Purple's performance was full of fire and fury – no wonder their opening song was "Burn". At the climax of the show, a still-furious Blackmore trashed several of his guitars and chucked his amplifiers off the edge of the stage. Blackmore also struck one of the cameras with his guitar. The chaos continued when a massive on-stage detonation created an out-of-control fireball – pun most definitely intended.
In the midst of all this mayhem there was also some awesome music being created. Purple's set focused strongly on their then-current "Burn" album, the first by the Mk III line-up and only included a handful of songs from the previous Mk II era.
Even in 2016, Glenn Hughes has very vivid memories of Deep Purple's tempestuous California Jam performance:

Pakistani defeats Milou van der Heijden in inaugural women's championship
It was power versus placement in the inaugural women's final at the Nash Cup squash tournament Friday night and with Power in the stands, power won.
Second-seeded Maria Toorpakai Wazir of Pakistan, the world No. 55, rallied from a 10-6 deficit in the first game to beat top-seeded Milou van der Heijden of the Netherlands 13-11, 11-3, 11-9 at the London Squash and Fitness Club.
"This means a lot," said Wazir, whose coach at the National Squash Academy in Toronto, Jonathan Power, was in attendance. "I came all the way here to play well and win the tournament and when I win I feel I'm getting better.
"I was very nervous for the final because Jonathan was here. I was so nervous, I couldn't hit the ball, but once I was down, I just let it come to me."
Van der Heijden couldn't match Wazir's strength, so she had to keep the play deep and in the corners of the court. It worked for a while.
"She started playing better and my length wasn't as deep and that gave her room in the middle of the court, where she's really strong," the world No. 52 said. "At the end of the third game, I was playing better, but once you're down two-love you know it's a long road back. But I wasn't going down without a fight."
The men's final Saturday night will also be a 1 vs. 2 affair as top-seeded Joe Lee of England, the world No. 37, will meet 2011 tournament champ Shawn Delierre of Montreal, ranked 38th.
Delierre advanced with an 11-7, 9-11, 12-10, 11-6 win over world No. 85 Ben Coleman of England, while Lee got his first win in six career meetings with third-seeded Shahier Razik of Toronto, although not quite the way he would have wanted, as Razik — 50th in the world at the age of 35 — retired with a leg injury at 5-5 in the fourth set trailing 8-11, 11-6, 6-11.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles judge on Thursday ordered rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight to stand trial for murder in the January hit-and-run death of a man outside a hamburger stand, rejecting a bid by Knight's lawyer to have the case dismissed.
Knight, 49, has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder and attempted murder stemming from the incident in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton that followed an argument on the set of a commercial for the film "Straight Outta Compton."
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen made his ruling after a preliminary hearing to consider evidence in the case. Knight is accused of deliberately running over 55-year-old Terry Carter, who later died, and another man with his pickup truck.
If convicted, the co-founder of the influential hip hop label Death Row Records would face a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
"It appeared to me it was not an attempt to escape. It was an attempt at murder," the judge said.
Knight's attorney, Matthew Fletcher, had asked the judge to dismiss the case. He argued the three or four men, including Carter and Cle "Boan" Sloan, who confronted Knight at the hamburger stand were armed with a gun, and that Knight defended himself and then fled.
Coen scheduled the next hearing in the case for April 30 and reduced Knight's bail to $10 million from $25 million. Fletcher said outside court he expected Knight would be freed after posting bail.
Prosecutors have said Knight traded punches with one of the men through the window of his vehicle during the Jan. 29 fracas before putting the truck into reverse.
"I think this is a mutual combat situation," prosecutor Cynthia Barnes told the judge.
Knight ran over Sloan when he backed up the truck, Barnes said. Then, instead of driving away, he aimed his vehicle to hit Sloan a second time and run over Carter before leaving the scene, she said.
Sloan, a 51-year-old self-described "non-active gang member," suffered a badly mangled left foot and head injuries.
He initially spoke to investigators, but when he took the witness stand at a hearing on Monday he was reluctant even to identify Knight, saying he did not want to be a "snitch."
Knight separately is charged with robbery and making a terroristic threat in connection with the September theft of a camera in Beverly Hills. Last August, Knight was shot and wounded at a Los Angeles-area nightclub.
In 1991, Knight co-founded Death Row Records, a West Coast rap label at one point representing Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac, fueling his fued with the Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy. When he was shot, Tupac Shakur was riding in a car with Knight, according to the Los Angeles Times.

My first batch of real soap - Follow up
Here is a follow up to my Making Soap post. If you missed it click here. Here is the picture of the fresh soap that I made all by myself straight out of the mold. I made this way back in March and then was silly enough to put this in my garage to dry out, but didn't think about the humidity so I moved the soap to my sewing room. It took much more longer to dry out that I had considered until I put it my sewing room.
Here is the before picture. Fresh soap just out of the mold. So nice and pretty. Smells fabulous as well.
Here is the cured product. There was, as you can see, discoloration from the colorants I used. I didn't pay attention to what I used I just used what I had. There were two that came with a kit that I had purchased. In the kit that I had purchased the soap was in different colored layers and not mixed like mine.
I have to say for a first time batch of soap I am impressed with myself. Nothing exploded, I didn't burn my hands or fingers off, I didn't poison anyone and the soap stayed in the mold. I can always work on my colors and make more soap experimenting with colors to see what works and what doesn't. I am leaning toward more natural colors to expand my skills on.
So over all I have learned that making soap isn't has hard as you think. I learned that even though you need to be careful of the chemicals that you use, if you use them safely, the process is amazing. To think that oils and lye can make a fabulous bar of soap that keeps you clean and smelling good and takes care of your skin. This is the real reason why I wanted to make soap in the first place. The bars of "soap" that you buy in the grocery store just isn't the same as what I have made and so much better for my skin.
Over all, I will definitely be making more soap. I want to learn more about what oils do what so that I can make soap specifically for my skin and my families skin. My husband and daughter have some skin conditions that I think I can help with by making my own soap.
This first batch is pretty ugly but works and smells wonderful. I have some fragrance oils that I want to use and then possibly get essential oils for a more all natural/ organic/ homeopathic soap. Maybe...one day.

My blog will still be beauty, fashion and lifestyle on a budget, but it will be obviously much more student orientated. Even though I bought some makeup from British brands the other day, I'll try to keep things as relevant as possible for all my lovely Irish readers!
Anyways, this blogpost is all about my birthday celebrations. My 23rd birthday wasn't until yesterday (19th September), but as I won't be returning to see my friends and family in Ireland again until Christmas break, I wanted to spend as much time as possible with them and wanted to celebrate my birthday with them, so with that in mind, I decided to have last weekend (the 12th September), as a birthday celebration and also as a kind of going away celebration as well. Celebrating my birthday a week early? Yes please!
The dress I'm wearing is from AX Paris. They have a website, and although the stuff on it is fabulous, they are more than bit expensive on there, even items on sale. This dress costs €52.50 online and if you wish you can still buy it at http://www.axparis.com/products/Lace-Detailed-Top-Midi-Dress.html. A boutique in my hometown in Ireland however was selling it on sale for just €12, reduced from the price they were selling it at which was €42. Can't go wrong with that can you?!
The metallic heels I'm wearing are from Penneys (Primark), I have mentioned them in previous posts, I got them on a reduced sale of €12 reduced from €16. They are so nice and easy to walk in that they are actually the only pair of high heels I own that made the cut into the suitcase to England!
Regarding makeup, I'm not sure can you see it clearly enough in the photo of me above, I didn't actually manage to take a selfie that night before I went out (what is becoming of me?!), but most of the products I've used before on nights out. The foundation I used was my holy grail night time foundation, MaxFactor Skin Luminiser in the shade '40 Light Ivory' (€15.99), concealer I used under my eyes and on blemishes was Rimmel Wake Me Up (€6.99, review of that product is HERE), powder I used was Primark Loose Powder (€2, review of this product is to come), blush I used was Catrice Defining Blush in Sunrose Avenue (€4.49, review of that product is HERE). In terms of eye makeup, I created a subtle smoky eye using the W7 In the Nude eyeshadow palette (I'll have a blogpost on this palette up shortly) before adding some drama with my all time favourite false eyelashes, Primark Sultry (€1.50), before lining with Essence Liquid Ink liquid eyeliner. I lined my lips with Primark lipliner in a berry shade before applying Primark Matte Long Last Lipstick in the shade 'Ladies Day' (€2). This lipstick is super matte and drying so do please use some lipbalm like the Nivea Essentials lipbalm (€2.09, review of that product is HERE), before applying, though this lipstick will stay on all night.
The tan I wore wearing is the amazing Cocoa Brown Day & Night tan (review of that product is HERE).
If you're a regular reader of my blog you'll know that over the past month I have not been biting my nails and using Sally Hansen Nail Growth miracle treatment to speed up the growth process (I wrote about my thoughts after using the product for five days HERE) and actually hope to have a second blogpost after using it for month up shortly. They have finally become long enough to apply nail polish to. I chose New York Color Gel Gloss in the shade '800 Greenwich Shopper', which is a matte black colour which wouldn't distract from the dress or the makeup. I find it an OK product, you need to apply two coats to the nail because anything else just looks transparent. It cost €2.20.
For the actual day of my birthday, I spent much of the day exploring around my new city surroundings. Even though I've spent so much on clothes and other bits the last few days since moving over, I had to buy a few presents for myself - sure if you can't treat yourself on your birthday when can you?! I picked out a brown skirt, a brick red crop top and black heeled boots in New Look. I thought the colours together looked so autumnal and really bang on trend. I reckon I'll do a blogpost soon enough on the clothes that I bought.
Later in the evening I strolled into the city centre to have a few cheeky birthday drinks. I randomly passed the Irish pub on the way home and had to pop in for one - sure why not. All and all I had a really great birthday - here's to being 23, yeaaah!

Breaking the Mold: San Jose's Oldest Foundry
Photographs by Philip Krayna
September 27, 2018 – July 21, 2019
12 to 5 pm
Featuring portraits and stories of the workers at Kearney Pattern Works & Foundry — the oldest metal foundry in San Jose — this exhibit documents the changing face of manufacturing and heavy industry in Silicon Valley's rapidly-changing South Bay.
Foundry casting — pouring molten metal into sand cavities formed by hand-crafted wooden patterns — has been a manufacturing process for thousands of years, supplying us with household items to automobile parts. Kearney Pattern Works & Foundry has been in downtown San Jose since 1918. The Montgomery Street the firm's first customers included canning equipment manufacturers such as the John Bean Sprayer and Anderson-Barngrover companies. During World War II, Kearney expanded into the defense industry, later growing to support electronics and bio-medical device customers.
This past year, Kearney announced its closure. Photographer Philip Krayna captured the last months of this labor-intensive operations, documenting workers on the floor in the furnace heat, the sweat and the sand.

About the Pacific Hotel
The Pacific Hotel was originally located at 74-80 South Market Street in downtown San José, near the Plaza de César Chavez. The first hotel at this location was founded in 1860, but the Pacific Hotel itself was not opened until 1880. Charles Schiele, a Prussian immigrant and former waiter, purchased the property, then known as Otter's Hotel, and was the first owner of the Pacific Hotel. Schiele remained in charge for seven years, until he sold the hotel to Julius Neifing and Jacob Schlenker and was elected to the San José City Council. Schlenker owned the hotel with different business partners until 1903, when he sold it to George Pfeffer. The Pacific Hotel remained in business until July 1907, when the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company bought the building. Read more.

It surprised local politicos when state Sen. Tom Lee, R-Thonotosassa, told a writer last week he's decided to run for chief financial officer in 2018 – and did so the day before attending a Brandon event with Gov. Rick Scott and the candidate Scott favors, Jimmy Patronis.
Discussing this week how that awkward sequence of events came about, Lee said he wanted to preserve his chances to mount a campaign even as Patronis appears to be starting one, and wanted to assure potential supporters he isn't backing off.
Scott appointed Patronis to the post in June. Patronis hasn't said whether he'll run for a full term, and didn't respond to messages. But he has opened a political committee for which Scott will headline a fundraiser next month.
Lee said he had previously been "very upfront" with Scott about his interest. "I was organized for this back in March and I've started making some fundraising calls," he said.
But Patronis' committee and the Scott fundraiser could "freeze donors" if Lee didn't signal he was still interested, he said.
The timing, the day before the Scott event, was "spur of the moment" when a writer asked him during a call on another subject, Lee said.
"He asked me and I just was honest about it. Had I answered it incorrectly, it would have damaged my effort" by suggesting to potential supporters that he was backing off, Lee said.
But he acknowledged, "There are no coincidences in politics."
Asked whether he was trying to send Scott and Patronis a signal he won't be scared out of the race, Lee, a former Senate budget chief, noted his own qualifications.
"I know the job, I have a background in finance and a whole history in government finance, insurance policy and things that relate to the CFO. This is very much in my wheelhouse.
"I'm not inviting controversy. I was upfront with people because I like to have clean hands," he said. "The governor has every right to do what he thinks is best for the state."
Asked whether his decision to run for CFO rather than re-election to his Senate seat is final, he said, "I stand by my statement" — that he intends to announce for the race this fall.
Yvonne Fry, Lawrence McClure garner support
In the special election to replace retiring state Rep. Dan Raulerson, R-Plant City, Yvonne Fry is continuing to pile up endorsements from local political and civic leaders, while Lawrence McClure is getting backing in the form of fundraisers by legislative leaders.
The two will face off in a Republican primary Oct. 10.
In the GOP-leaning District 58 in east Hillsborough, the winner will be favored in the Dec. 19 general election.
Fry this week announced endorsements from county Tax Collector Doug Belden, former Temple Terrace Mayor Joe Affronti and former county school superintendent and Elections Supervisor Earl Lennard.
McClure will hold a funder Sept. 20 headlined by state Sen. Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, who's slated to be state Senate president in 2020, along with Reps. Shawn Harrison, R-Tampa, and Danny Burgess, R.-Zephyrhills.
He'll hold another one Sept. 27 in Miami, hosted by veteran political consultant and lobbyist Steven Marin.
Kimberly Overman files for Hillsborough commission
Businesswoman Kimberly Overman, inspired by the county commissioners' actions on the Confederate memorial downtown, has filed to challenge Republican county Commissioner Sandy Murman in the countywide District 7 race.
Overman is the first Democrat of any prominence to file against any of the three Republican incumbents running in 2018 — Ken Hagan, Victor Crist and Murman. All are jumping to new seats to extend their term limits.
Overman, 59, of Seminole Heights, is a financial planner, originally from New York, who moved here in 1984. She operates an investment advisory firm, The Financial Well, and a co-working space, the Heights Exchange. She has been active in Democratic politics.
"I've been thinking about this for quite some time" because of transportation and land use issues, she said, but, "The icing on the cake was the lack of leadership that was confirmed over the issue of the Confederate war memorial."
Two other Democrats, Charles Davis III and Sky U. White, have also filed in the race.

The art and science of osteopathy
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a physical therapy based on a wholistic approach for the treatment of common muscular, joint and visceral disorders, using an established system of clinical diagnosis and manual treatment. You do not need a referral to see an osteopath, and usually there are no waiting lists. Osteopathy has been endorsed by NICE, the Institute of Clinical Excellency as a therapy, for back pain relief.
Most people associate osteopathy with its effectiveness in the treatment of back pain, but this not all. Osteopaths look at the relationship between the different parts of the body. For example the nervous, vascular and muscular systems are interrelated. The function of these systems affect every cell in the body. To help improve function, the osteopath corrects structural, visceral, and postural imbalances, to assist the body's self regulatory mechanisms in healing itself, or to suggest further investigations, such as blood tests, X-R or MRI scan.
The most common conditions that benefit from osteopathy are:
The Art and Science of Osteopathy
Your first visit:
The osteopathic examination:
Depending on the area being treated, you may need to undress to your underwear. Here we provide a screen, and a towel if needed.
Osteopathic assessment usually includes a series of standard orthopaedic tests. These are for ascertaining the range of motion of the joints, especially those related to your problem. Deep tendon reflexes are taken when necessary.
Postural assessment gives valuable information about your body framework. Here we can find areas affected by injury, disease, overuse and long term misuse of muscles, or congenital conditions such as scoliosis.
Palpation is another valuable osteopathic tool. Feeling with the hands gives valuable information about the tissues, the position of the joints, and the likely cause of the problem.
The Osteopathic Diagnosis:
After gathering all the information, a diagnosis can be made, and the findings explained as to what may be causing the pain; for example herniated discs, pulled or strained muscles, short or strained ligaments. It is important to understand why the problem has developed, why it has become chronic, and the necessary steps to follow to correct it, by osteopathic manipulation, exercise, and addressing postural, lifestyle issues that may be affecting the body.
If treatment is not indicated, then with the patient's consent the osteopath would write to their GP for more information about their health, or suggest further investigations such as blood tests, X-R or MRI scans.Osteopathy for work
The Treatment:
Osteopathy is a manual therapy, and the techniques selected are unique to your problem. The choice could be between standard osteopathic techniques such as the traditional osteopathic manipulation or thrust (click) technique for releasing joint problems. The latter is a swift and painless manipulation, which can be effective in freeing a stuck joint on the spine or any joint in the body. In most cases, it reduces the pain and restriction almost immediately.
There are many manual methods to assist and align the body. Soft tissue manipulation, which is very effective in releasing muscles and ligamentous restrictions, articulation techniques, or other forms of manipulation like neuromuscular techniques, muscle energy techniques, traction, strain-counterstrain and harmonic techniques.
The follow up:
After the treatment, it is possible to advise how many treatments may be needed, as well as their frequency.
Based on experience and feedback from the patient the osteopath can suggest a course of treatments to assist recovery. Depending on the severity of the problem, you may need several treatments. It is important to follow the osteopath's advice to achieve recovery, and prevent recurrence.
In chronic or recurring cases about four to six treatments might be needed, over a period of six to eight weeks. About 20% of new patients need only one treatment.
Side effects following osteopathic treatment:
Some may experience aggravation of the symptoms, usually for a day. Soreness might be felt around the areas where motion was restricted. In cases of concern, telephone the practice.

Osteopathy for work:
The Health and Safety Executive estimates that in 2013/14, there were 526,000 cases of work related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) – about 42% of all work related illnesses
MSDs are the second biggest cause of absence from work, affecting over 1m people at a cost to the economy (estimated in 2007) of £7bn.
If you are self-employed, taking time off work with musculoskeletal problems can have a devastating effect on you and your family's financial security, so getting back to work as quickly as possible is essential. That can seem impossible when you are in pain and unable to complete your usual daily activities, but movement really helps.
The Work Foundation recommend that you work with your employers and healthcare professionals if affected by MSDs, to find ways of returning to work as soon as possible, using a combination of treatment, lifestyle changes and adjustment to working conditions. They also suggest that early intervention is key to recovery, hastening your return to a normal, healthy lifestyle and limiting the negative psychological effects of an extended period of sick leave.
How our osteopaths can help:
• Fast access – our osteopaths are usually able to see you the same day or within a couple of days of seeking an appointment. As osteopaths are primary healthcare professionals you don't need to be referred by a GP unless you are seeking NHS funded treatment or your health insurance provider insists that you see a GP first.
• Treatment and advice – once they have assessed your condition an osteopath will usually begin treatment straight away. They can also provide advice on how to avoid making the condition worse or re-injuring yourself.
• Inexpensive treatment – Many MSDs can be treated by osteopaths over a few visits. Treatment costs at present are £50.00 first time and follow ups £ 45.00 per session, which compared to loss of earnings or productivity is a worthwhile investment to help you return to work promptly.
• Fit notes – A fit note provides your employer with advice on what they can do to help you return safely to work. This may include

Another visitor to the garden. This is Oscar, and as far as I can tell he's a Huntsman spider. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Oscar was with us for a while but, he spun his web over the garage door and after countless disturbances he decided to move on. If I end up including spiders in a design, then Oscar is certainly on the shortlist.

It is actually an orb weaver spider. they have a habit of building their webs in the garden, often attached to a building for security. The web goes around and around in the classic shape doesn't it?

Karthik KS from iSpirit and Officials from the Directorate of Electronic Delivery of Citizen Services (EDCS), Govt. of Karnataka were also present in the event.
The LegalTech startup aspires to make legal documentation easily accessible to common man, and the introduction of this new service marks another milestone in its journey. Krupesh Bhat, the Founder of LegalDesk says, "Our Rental Agreement service is the first of many other documentation services that will be provided across BangaloreOne centres. We are also going to introduce many other online documentation services such as Aadhaar-based eSign, Will, Power of Attorney, Name Change, general agreements, etc. We will extend these services to Citizen Service Centres in other cities in the coming days."
Speaking about this new service, Dr. C.N. Ashwathnarayan said, "With this service being made available through BangaloreOne centres, citizens from all sections of the community will have access to well-drafted rental agreements and legal documents that are made available at an affordable price." Actor Diganth Manchale expressed, "this is a wonderful initiative by LegalDesk. I look forward to such services being introduced in other towns and cities across India."

Game Day: Seattle at Tri-City
The Seattle Thunderbirds and Mr. Pickard are in town tonight for the first game of a home-and-home series before the holiday break.
Calvin Pickard, one of the top goalies in the league, will try to earn his first win at Toyota Center tonight. He is winless in 12 starts in Kennewick.
The T-birds haven't fared much better than Pickard, losing 17 in a row dating back to Jan. 27, 2008.
A couple of wins by the Americans this weekend would give them their best mark in franchise history at the holiday break. Tri-City was 26-9-0-0 (52 points) in 2009-10.
Eric Comrie gets the start tonight for the Americans. Defensemen Zach Yuen and Mitch Topping are still out with upper body injuries. Lucas Nickles and Riley Guenther also are on the scratch list.
Lukas Walter, out of the WHL dog house, is in the lineup, and watch for Justin Feser to spend his night on the blue line.
Calvin Pickard is in goal for the T-birds. Calvin does have a backup — his name is Daniel Cotton. Don't look for him to see any ice time tonight. On the scratch list are Jared Hauf and Connor Sanvido, who are healthy. Marcel Noebels is with Team Germany for the World Juniors, and Brendan Rouse is injured.
Puck drops in 10.
Seattle took a 1-0 lead with a goal by Chance Lund, but the Americans answered with a pair of power-play goals by Adam Hughesman and Connor Rankin.
More to come.
For those of you who chose not to come tonight, are missing an entertaining game.
The Americans added to their 2-1 lead with goals by Brendan Shinnimin and Patrick Holland for a 4-1 game.
Seattle got a four-minute power play to end the second after Ams D-man Sam Grist leveled Chance Lund into the boards. Seattle managed just three shots on goal.
Grist got out the box early in the third, and on his way to the bench, Seattle's Braeden Laroque tripped Grist and Branden Trook took a swipe at him and got caught for slashing. The Americans cashed in on the power play as Shinnimin scored his second of the night.
At 6:17 of the third, little Brian Williams, who plays three times bigger than his size, got into a tilt with Seattle's Connor Honey. This game could get out of control.
Americans win 5-1 and Seattle's woes at Toyota Center continue.
Tri-City leads the WHL with 52 points, which also equals their best start to the season — points wise. They opened the 2009-10 season 26-9-0-0.
The teams match up again tonight in Kent, then will be off for the Christmas holiday.

George Clooney replaces him as lead in upcoming ''Batman and Robin''
The arrest was already five-day-old news when the fax arrived in the mail rooms of entertainment executives across L.A. The headline — FBI DETAINS SUSPECT IN UNABOMBER HUNT — offered no forward spin. But those who received the transmission, sent by a high-powered friend, were in on the joke: In place of the photograph of a glowering Theodore Kaczynski was the smiling, suntanned, sunglasses-wearing Val Kilmer.
When it was announced last February that Kilmer, 36, would not return as the Caped Crusader in Batman and Robin, the forthcoming fourth installment of Hollywood's billion-dollar-plus movie franchise, the utter lack of public distress on the part of Warner Bros. was a sure sign that something had gone amiss for Kilmer. Since first coming to attention in the comedy Top Secret! (1984), the actor had solidified his reputation as a versatile leading man playing parts like Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991) and Doc Holliday in Tombstone (1993). Then, last summer, he had proved his commercial viability in the $184 million-grossing Batman Forever, spinning that success into four other projects: the cop thriller Heat, this August's The Island of Dr. Moreau, this fall's turn-of-the-century African adventure The Ghost and the Darkness with Michael Douglas, and a now-filming remake of the 1960s television series The Saint with Elisabeth Shue.
But just as Kilmer's $6 million-per-picture paycheck has come to reflect his clout, his reputation for being difficult has soared. His prolific schedule notwithstanding, many in Hollywood are loath to work with him, no matter how big the box office payback.
It's no special feat to be voted Mr. Unpopularity in an industry that seems to create a new contender every month, but it's virtually unheard-of for the griping to become public. Nonetheless, here are the testimonials from some of Kilmer's recent colleagues: As Richard Stanley, who directed Kilmer for three days in The Island of Dr. Moreau before being fired, recalls, "Val would arrive, and an argument would happen." Says John Frankenheimer, who replaced Stanley: "I don't like Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic, and I don't want to be associated with him ever again." And Batman Forever director Joel Schumacher calls his onetime star "childish and impossible."
Kilmer, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has had a tumultuous year: Last July, he separated from his wife of seven years, actress Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, with whom he has two children, Mercedes, 4, and Jack, 1 (he's since taken up with Cindy Crawford), and has been working nonstop in locations as varied as Australia, South Africa, and Russia. But even that stress, say those who know him, cannot excuse incidents like the time he burned a cameraman with a cigarette while filming Moreau. Some suggest that Kilmer's behavior hasn't gotten worse; it's just that more people are paying attention.
Kilmer's brother, Mark, 37, thinks Kilmer's troubles are unsurprising. "We all have grandiose, narcissistic tendencies," says Mark, a doctoral student of psychology who has not spoken to his brother since their father's funeral in 1993. "If there are people helping those tendencies along, it's hard to resist."

Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be structurally sound, dry and free from oil, grease, dust, loose or peeling paint, sealers, floor finishes, curing compounds or any contaminant that would prevent a good bond. Minimum tensile
bond strength of 72 psi (0.5 MPa) is required. Substrate temperature should be a minimum of 43°F (6°C) during application and air temperature maintained above 50° (10°C). DO NOT cover existing building expansion or control joints. Remove all dust by vacuuming. TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch can be installed over new or moist concrete with RH of 95% or less. For moisture sensitive floor coverings refer to the finished floor manufacturer's specifications on moisture limitations. Remediation of excessive moisture conditions must be addressed prior to the installation of TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch.
Note: Vinyl asbestos tile or any substrate containing asbestos shall not be sanded, scored or scarified because of the potential health hazard of breathing dust. Any substrate containing asbestos must be handled in accordance with existing EPA revaluations. Contact your local EPA office.
Instructions for Mixing
Mix only as much TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch as can be used in 20 minutes. USE IMMEDIATELY after mixing. Slowly add the entire bag of TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch into 1.75 quarts (1.66 L) of clean, cool water while mixing at a low speed (not exceeding 300 rpm to prevent entraining air). For smaller amounts, use a mixing ratio of 2 parts powder to 1 part water. Mix
thoroughly for 2 minutes to a smooth, lumpfree consistency.
Immediately after mixing, with a flat steel trowel, work TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch into the void to be filled. Then, finish to a level surface to achieve the desired smoothness. The working time
for this product is 15 to 20 minutes depending upon the temperature. High temperature will shorten the working time. For repairs greater than ½ in. (12 mm) in thickness, you will need to apply two coats,
allowing the first coat to set before applying the second. Do not exceed a total thickness of 1 in. (25 mm) of TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch. Do not overwork the product.
Drying Time
TEC Skill Set Universal Skimcoat and Patch is ultra-fast drying and can accept foot traffic and the installation of most floor covering materials in as soon as 30 minutes and up to 60 minutes, depending on
temperature, thickness and substrate. Protect from excessive heat or drafty conditions during curing period.
While material is still fresh, clean tools, hands and equipment with
warm, soapy water.

Middle Dreams
by Toni Asante Lightfoot
And with great fear I inhabit the middle of the night
What wrecks of the mind await me, what drugs
to dull the senses
John Wieners
"The Acts of Youth"
Between real sleep and the waking spasm and
between what you are and what you with
the ignorant exuberance of youth thought a great
life would be, lay the between of hope and fear.
I am living a life i never knew possible to the "I"
of my youth to grow into. This body I inhabit
long ago betrayed me. By 22, it moved from the
smooth, taught, supple center to the broad middle
of a middle aged broad. I have had this body of
middle age twice as long as i had the
great body glowing like morning, enticing night
with dance, bourbon, and "yes". Yesteryear is what
years of tomorrow have become. Wrecks
of relationships make the shoreline of
my memories fascinating. Among the
lost ships I visit when i have time for my mind
to salvage from them the shiny bits that await
my wiser translation of the loud, scared me
is the big hulking ship holding dreams. What
do I do to quell their haunting? Drugs,
whiskey? No, I line them up, look them over to
remind myself: I am "here" because "there" looked dull.
Under the magnifying glass of age the
bright light of perspective tantalizes my senses.
Toni Asante Lightfoot is a native of Washington, DC, where she was president of the African American Writer's Guild. She moved to Chicago and was the director of writing programs at Young Chicago Authors. She currently consults on curriculum development that integrates the poetry with mathematical and scientific theory. Lightfoot is currently studying Chinese acupuncture and herbology.

I believe everyone should have a litmus test question. It's useful for determining whether or not you could be friends with a person you've just met. My litmus test question is, what do you know about the theory of evolution? I ask this because I only surround myself with people who have critical thinking skills and and interest in science. I have often felt bad about thinking this way but we all have a right to choose our friends. We all want to be around people we share interests with and don't have to make such an effort not to judge. God, I sound like a horrible person when I say it like that. I have had friends who are creationist and I have found that it is very difficult for me to maintain the friendship. After awhile I can no longer fight the urge to engage with them and try to understand why they think the way they do. This always ends in an argument.
I want to be clear that it is not necessarily religion I have an issue with, although I am an atheist. I believe religion and the theory of evolution, or any part of science for that matter, are not mutually exclusive. I find that people who see science and the pursuit of knowledge as a threat to their spirituality to be very angry, controlling, and intolerant. They lack the ability to empathize with others and see different points of view. I really hate to sound so judgmental but this was a choice I had to make for myself. I have engaged with too many people who think science is a religion that is poisoning the minds of the children. I just can't do it anymore.
For me the theory of evolution is beautiful in it's simplicity. All of science is beautiful to me! I think purposefully denying yourself this beauty is sad. Willful ignorance is sad. I cannot surround myself with these kinds of people, I just can't! I do have friends who are religious. In fact, the girl who I consider my closest friend is Catholic. The difference between her and the kinds I'm talking about is for one, she is open to learning new things, and two, she has a "live and let live" mentality. She never tries to convert anyone and she doesn't believe her religion should be taught in schools. I love that about her and we often debate the particulars of her religion and she is ok with that. She explains to me why she believes what she does and I explain to her why I don't believe what she believes.
I admit she might have failed my litmus test but only because of ignorance, which I might have been ok with. A person who truly fails the test would answer that they did know about the theory of evolution, then proceed to tell me why it was wrong in a way that sounded like science but wasn't at all. This person would say things like "Evolution is only a theory, not a fact." or "If humans come from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?". Responses like those are automatic fails!
This test has worked out well for me over the past few years. I no longer have to hide my atheism and I no longer have to hear someone spout ignorance and intolerance in social situations. All of the friends I have now love science and strive to learn more everyday. We teach each other new things everyday too. This is the way it should be, for me anyway.

We has officially started imparting on-line as well as off-line training since long back. Apart from Indian students, we also had students from US, UK, Russia, South Africa and Australia who had been trained over the Internet.
We started our business as a web development organization where we developed websites and web related applications. during our development process we also helped interns gain experience and learn the web designing and development best practices. In October 2012 we proceeded with our first international client from Srilanka. Since then the journey went into a new direction and in a less time we had clients from USA, UK, Australia, Singapore, South Africa, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Turkey and this list kept on.
After long years of training, internship and development work, we decided to have an office dedicated for the purpose of regular education. Thus after 3 months of planning and search, finally a location was found in south Kolkata that was perfect for the office. Our first class started on 15th August, 2016 and by the month of October most of the paperwork was complete.
WEBNext Labs since then has imparted training to numerous students out of which a considerable number of students are currently working for reputed MNS, holding government jobs and has setup successful startups.
Our team compises of members and employees working from different parts of India as well as different Countries. Each one of us excel in different skill set. We host a private on-line office where employees from different location work and train as if we are in a same physical office.
We love to take advice and suggestions from everyone and take great pleasure in implementing the best fit. However we do have a personal team who take active participation is suggesting us the best.

The response to the search request seems to be missing 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' Header.
The header is present for OPTIONS request for the same URL. The value in this instance comes back as '*'. However, following GET request does not have the header and the browser errors out with
Failed to load https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=apple: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
We've been using the API for over a year now and have not changed the way we use it recently.
As far as I know this was working as late as Friday (Nov 10th) so wondering if the maintenance on Nov 11th has changed anything?
Sorry about this. It has been caused by the weekends deployment.Just fixing it in the next few minutes.
That has just now (14:50hrs 13/11/2017) been fixed.Apologies for that .
Thank you. How long will it take for the fix to be seen?
As we are still getting the same error.
@MArkWilliams I have been getting this error since the maintenance too and am still getting since the fix.
We fixed the developer site. I expected that to fix your issue too.We are investigating your particular issue (Only two customers including yourself have reported this) We are currently getting over 200 successful API calls per second and have been all day, so this is not affecting all API users.We will continue to investigate of course.
Could the issue be related to the browser? I.e. we are calling your API from AJAX, therefore the browser requires the header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" were a direct backend call can ignore that header.
@MArkWilliams I'm also experiencing this issue, the missing header is preventing CORS requests. It had already been reported here so I didn't see the point in commenting, but I've been keeping an eye on this issue.
Thanks for the additional info. We have identified the problem and we are working on a fix.
Hello Mark,Just wanted to let you know that we were unable to login to the forum the whole day, preventing us from also reporting this issue.
Thanks @MArkWilliams
Hi, I know you are working on this but just wanted to echo still having the issue. Thanks
Hi Mark,
Do we have any estimated timeline for fix?
Hi @MArkWilliams, are there any updates to this?
Hello @MArkWilliams do you have an estimate on when will this be fixed by? We need to communicate to our customers.
testing a fix in pre-production right now!
We have just deployed a fix for this issue.We apologise for the disruption this may have caused.
I confirm the issue is resolved for us.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Thank you Mark, this has been fixed for us too.
