I am Christian. I have been a Christian all my life. But there are some things Christians do that disturb people who profess a faith, or who don't profess faith of any kind, and frankly, it bothers me too.
When some Christians don't know what words to say to comfort a person or offer solace, "We" tend to share a reference in the Bible about faith, usually an implied or overt statement that the person suffering needs more faith,…Continue

I have read and contributed to posts about how losing a loved one can change the survivor. "How has the death of your spouse changed you" or something of that genre.
It is a fair question, but I am not certain I can give a concrete answer or will be able to in the future, if ever.
The past year has been one of pure unimaginable grief, not one I would ever want to repeat. My spouse's loss has left me with an incalculable feeling of how shall I say, "Lostness." I know that's not…Continue

Today was a very productive day of creating and feeling more motivated than ever about the progress of House of Minerva.
Project one of the day : a wonderful and fun time deconstructing and reconstructing. Taking a customers wedding dress and creating their little girls baptism dress out of it was amazing fun.
Tomorrow fitting and should be all done! Love doing this sort of stuff.
Project two of my day was bringing back an oldie but goodie the original BellasBag. I use to own a company called Bella's Bag and a favorite and popular bag was the Bucket Bag. Ive listened to my customers asking me to bring this bag back. I've listened but definite improvements and design changes were needed, more of just an updated feel and firmer structure.
All of these bags will automatically have the matching cosmetic bags and sold as the true set. Limited edition Spring bags. Can't wait to get them up on the online store tomorrow and see what customers think! Always love input on functionality.
I completely forgot about taking a bag from a local customer (an original Bella's Bag) and adding a pocket and a snap to a very cool but very old and worn tote! But they love it and still use it after like 6 years! I love that stuff though and will do those things to my very loyal and happy customers.
Lastly a customer swung by today to pick up the custom Easter dresses I made for her very adorable little girls. Pic here is the dresses but can't wait for her to share the pics of them wearing them.
No call from my accountant, can not wait to have taxes behind me. Have learned so much going thru the process the way I have this year. It had to be done and I'm a better business woman for it.

Microphones, music stands, lights, cables, a thousand mallets. Plus the instruments - some of them large (marimbas, drum kits, cymbals, a gong, a piano), and some of them found objects (pipes, empty whiskey bottles, a string of paperclips). And the artists themselves: Rob, Pete, Sean, David, all with earpieces plugged in and playing in perfect syncopation. Third Coast Percussion is a complete sensory experience. A few weeks ago, they gave me free range on stage at the University of Chicago's Logan Center for the Arts during their dress rehearsal with one directive: get all four musicians in one frame. The solution was a multiple exposure frame created in the camera; it also captured the organized chaos of instruments.

These videos are pretty spectacular. The best part of both of them is that they were created by people who chose to look at something common with a unique perspective. If you do not step out of the box and challenge the status quo, progression ceases to exist. The day you stop learning is the day you stop growing. Without collaborative ideas and shared thoughts, knowledge is wasted.

Wedding Photo Booth by Funky Photo Booth
Mixing photo booth love with funky fun and lots of laughter.
Funky Photo Booth Hire in Hampshire Dorset Surrey
Just fill in the quick form to tell the Funky Photo Booth team about your event and we'll check our diary for availability and send you our best price.
Alternatively, feel free to call us for more information on:
Tel: 01489 583601
Mob: 07734 700887
We have a number of Booth Butlers spread across the south of the UK and cover the following counties:
Funky Photo Booth is one of the few photo booth companies designed, owned and managed by a professional photographer. When it comes to image and print quality we do not compromise.
Each wedding photo booth uses high end digital cameras, studio level lighting and provide touch dry lab quality prints within 10-seconds.
Photo Booths have been going down a storm at weddings for quite a few years. We started back in 2008 and were the first company on the South Coast to provide them.
When we first started we expected photo booths to be another 'wedding fad' for a few years before fizzling out. The truth is they're more popular than ever and we're just as busy now as when we started. For guests that haven't used a wedding photo booth before, then it gives them a lovely memento to take home with them. For those that know what fun they can have in the photo booth, then there's no holds barred.
The way it works is simple. Each of our photo booths is manned by a friendly booth butler who will let guests know how the things work. Inside the booth is a box full of goodies to dress up in. The prop box is full of hats, wigs, moustaches, over sized glasses, inflatable flamingos and goodness knows what else we'll have sourced for your wedding.
Once inside, your guests squeeze together on a seat and the booth butler will draw the curtains. A screen inside counts down before taking a picture. This happens four times and the final picture is shown on the screen. In between each picture being taken you'll hear giggles and laughter getting louder and louder. Props will be swapped, seats will be exchanged and things just get crazy as guests become more creative with their pictures. We sometimes question it ourselves. 'Wwhat on earth is going on in there?'. Especially when more people come out of the photo booth than went in!
Around 10-seconds after the last picture is made, the first print is ready to take away, dry to touch and at top print quality.
Each of the pictures taken are collaged into a design made especially for your wedding. This includes your own message on each print too. We can design prints around any stationery, fonts or colours you have chosen for your wedding. You can choose from any of our ready made designs also.
The booth butler will ask how many prints your guests would like (up to a maximum of one per person inside the booth). They will also make a separate print for the Bride & Groom. If you have a guest book, the booth butler will encourage guests to leave the extra print in the book with a message. Be aware though, photo booth messages from guests are usually cheeky, often a bit rude, embarrassingly truthful but always funny. It's not unusual to find your guest book being looked at more than your wedding album.
Don't be surprised next time you're visiting friends and family to see a fridge door full of photo booth pictures taken at your wedding day.
All in all, the wedding photo booth is good old fashioned, honest, fun.

If there's a silver lining to be found in week that featured a dual against Powell and a trip to the Ron Thon Invitational, it might be that the worst of the schedule is now behind the Greybull-Riverside matmen.
With only a dual against Cody remaining Friday at 4 p.m., G-R is already thinking about getting ready, and healthy, for the postseason, which begins at the Class 2A West Regional Saturday, Feb. 20 in Cowley.
Coach Mark Sanford said his team came through the busy and difficult stretch in pretty good shape. Powell is the 3A gold standard, a perennial power that is always in the mix for the state title, while the Ron Thon considered by many the most difficult tournament in the state.
G-R lost to the Panthers, 60-10, Feb. 2 in Basin, getting only a forfeit win by Marshall Gibbs and a 13-0 triumph by Jorge Carmona.
Every other match went in Powell's column, including a showdown at 152 pounds between Nic Urbach and Cole Hill. Urbach entered as the No. 1 ranked 3A wrestler at that weight, Hill as the No. 2 ranked 2A wrestler.
Sanford described it as a tight match, one that Hill led 2-1 going into the third. Urbach tied it at 2 apiece when Hill was whistled for fleeing the mat, then won it when he got Hill in a cradle and ripped him to his back for a pin with less than 30 seconds to go.
Sanford called it a great match, and added that several other G-R wrestlers turned in nice performances as well, albeit in losing efforts. Among them were 138-pounder Alex Schlattmann, who went the distance with Chance Karst (No. 1 in 3A); Ryan Peoples, who lost a 5-2 decision to Marshall Wittick; and Gibbs, who won an exhibition matchup against Dalton McMillan, who had beaten him at the Greybull Memorial Invitational.
"As a whole, I thought we battled them pretty well," said Sanford. "We didn't say, 'Oh my gosh, it's Powell, we give up.' That's what you have to do. They are relentless. They keep coming, no matter what. It's an idea that we need to understand and apply ourselves.
The Ron Thon in Riverton is the granddaddy of them all when it comes to wrestling.
Forty teams hailing from all three divisions scored points.
Green River, the No. 1 ranked team in 3A, won it with 181 points, followed by Powell with 154 and Gillette with 152. Moorcroft, with 61 points, was the top 2A finisher, followed by Cokeville in 17th with 52 points, Lyman in 23rd with 44 points and Saratoga in 26th with 40.5 points.
G-R, which was missing Luis Burgos, Tre' Nelson and Lane Nielsen, came in 30th with 29 points. Six G-R wrestlers competed in the varsity, and of the six, only three — Alex Schlattmann at 138, Cole Hill at 152, and Jose Carmona at 160 — contributed points.
Jorge Carmona went 0-2 at 120 pounds, losing to Brodie Douglas of Lyman and Cole Seymour of Rock Springs. Sanford said Carmona was in his match with Seymour when it ended on a pin.
Marshall Gibbs also went 0-2, losing to Trey Fischbach of Moorcroft by a 10-4 decision and then going down to Nennon Parks of Newcastle/Upton by a 6-5 decision. Even though he didn't win either match, Sanford said he saw improvement out of the Greybull senior.
Schlattmann posted a win, pinning Casey Britton of Torrington, but lost his other two matchups, succumbing to Dylan Sandstedt of Douglas 9-1 and Ricky Larson of Newcastle/Upton 4-0. Schlattmann has been an emerging force and Sanford likes what he has seen in recent weeks, but emphasized, "We have to be tougher on our feet" moving forward.
Hill was G-R's only placer, taking second at 152. His path to the final included four straight decisions — the first two of the majority variety, the last two over some top-notched competition in the form of Seth Green of Cheyenne (8-4) and Logan Wagoner of Gillette (4-3). Sanford said the win over Wagoner was "a really good one for us" because Hill scored the winning takedown with just 12 seconds remaining in the match.
In the final, Hill faced Thatcher Spiering of Saratoga, the No. 1 ranked 152-pounder in 2A. Spierling had a tough path of his own to get there, one that included a 4-3 win over Nic Urbach in the semis. When the two squared off in the final, it was the third time this season, with each owning a single win. Spiering took it, winning 3-1 in overtime. Sanford said it was a great effort by Hill and that if the two meet again, Hill must establish a lead early and not fall behind the Saratoga standout.
Jose Carmona won his first match, beating Brayden Gaston of Jackson Hole in a "wild" 19-13 decision, but dropped his next two, losing to Hayden Hastings of Sheridan by fall and Cody Clark of Cheyenne South by 5-1 decision.
Anthony Eibert didn't place at 170, losing to Zac Rose of Dubois in the opening round and to Andrew Nicholson of Cheyenne Central in the wrestlebacks.
Sanford said his hope was that more than one varsity wrestler would place. "I thought we'd go deeper in the brackets, too," he said. "But we had some tough draws, too."
G-R entered the rest of its wrestlers in the JV division, and while none placed, several came away with wins. Ryan Peoples went 2-2 at 138 pounds. Dawson McEwan went 3-2 at 160 pounds. Taven Pharris also went 3-2 at 170 pounds.
This week, there's just one meet — a dual Friday at 4 p.m. in Cody. Sanford admits that he doesn't know what his lineup is going to look like. "We want to wrestle and we want to compete, but at the same time, we don't want guys wrestling hurt or running the risk of getting even more banged up."

Every week I do at least 1 life drawing session. That's no easy task where I live in Northeastern PA. I find it essential in my ability to see. I been doing this for about 6 months and it's made an enormous difference in both how I look at thing and how I'm painting. After a very long layoff from drawing and painting with my hands I'm kinda loving this. Every week I experiment with different tools and techniques.
It's quite different from painting plein air which I suck at. I am most definitely a studio painter. I feel too clumsy when outdoors painting. I do like to do quicky line art even if they nothing more than minute or two. The radiograph pen has something to do with that.

[Stephen King: 11/22/63 (due out November 2011)]
Under which king, Bezonian?
Speak, or die ...
So the ranting, bombastic soldier Pistol to poor Justice Shallow in Henry IV, Part Two. I don't want to put you on the spot to quite the same extent, but the other day, when I found myself pre-ordering various novels online, I began to wonder when and how it is that an author crosses over from a subject in which one takes a general interest to an indispensable, habit-forming drug.
I realised that had happened with Stephen King when I ceased to be able to wait for his books to appear in paperback (let alone in second-hand shops) before I bought and devoured them. I think that happened somewhere around the time of Needful Things (1991), a good twenty years ago. I have to say that the Master has seldom disappointed, though there have undoubtedly been some ups and downs along the way.
So it's not surprising that I would want to guarantee my copy of his latest tome well ahead of the crowds (and, given what appears to be the imminent demise of High Street bookselling as we know it, that I should end up doing so online).
What did surprise me was the discovery that there were some other writers who had imperceptibly slipped into the same status for me. I find him a bit frustrating at times, but there's just something so very congenial about the literary territory of kooky occultism and historical conspiracy theories Umberto Eco inhabits, that I found I couldn't resist the lure of his latest:
[Umberto Eco: The Prague Cemetery (due out November 2011)]
I mean, seriously: Prague? A cemetery in Prague? Nineteenth-century craziness instead of his usual medieval and renaissance craziness? The Protocols of the Elders of Zion? Umberto Eco? What's not to like?
That one went on the list, too. As did:
[Haruki Murakami: IQ84 (due out October 2011)]
Again, I have slightly mixed feelings about Haruki Murakami. The fact remains that I appear to have collected all of his books. I've seldom bought one new before, but the prospect of a 1,000-odd-page epic did rather attract me, I must confess. Even though I don't profess to understand him, I find myself compulsively reading and rereading him almost against my will. I do have my theories about what it's all about, mind you, but I seem to be happy to keep on reading in a state almost of suspended animation -- a little like the heroine of Sputnik Sweetheart, perhaps ...
An American, a European, and a Japanese: all novelists, each putting out another big fat tome later this year - more or less in time for my birthday and the beginning of summer vacation ... I can almost taste the suspense.
It did make me think, though. Who else is on my list? Well, just to continue the rollcall of global regions, there's my favourite Latin-American novelist, Mario Vargas Llosa:
[Mario Vargas Llosa: The Dream of the Celt (due out 2012)]
This latest novel of his hasn't been translated yet, and so it won't actually appear till next year. I did use to try and force myself through each of his new books in the original, but now I'm content to wait for the English version. This one is all about Roger Casement and his adventures in the Congo and on the Amazon, I gather, so I don't want to miss any of the niceties through my rough-and-ready Spanish.
I know that Mario has a lot of critics who find him a bit dubious politically, but I do think he thoroughly deserved that Nobel Prize they finally awarded him last year. The sheer scale of his achievement is pretty impressive, and it's hard to think of any of his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Carlos Fuentes? certainly not Isabel Allende ...), who's still writing at the same level of intensity and commitment.
What about the Antipodes? Of course I have many favourite New Zealand authors whose work I follow. When it comes to snapping up each book the moment it appears, though, I guess the one who springs to mind is Martin Edmond. I talked in the previous post about his latest, Dark Night Walking with McCahon (2011). Here's one from last year, though. This is the second of two books of poetic prose he's put out (so far) through Dunedin's Kilmog Press:
[Martin Edmond: Hypnogeography (2010)]
Nor is it just novelists and prose-writers I follow. Here's the new book from one of my favourite poets, Canadian classical scholar (and all-around extremist) Anne Carson:
[Anne Carson: NOX (2010)]
The book's appearance - a long, corrugated, paper scroll in a hard cardboard case - is almost as eccentric as its contents. She's long since become an indispensable writer for me.
Who else? Here's another poet I find it impossible to ignore, British "laureate of grot" Peter Reading:
[Peter Reading: Vendage Tardive (2010)]
Reading has shifted his principal target somewhat from bourgeois complacency and greed to an even more extreme set of Philippics against environmental destruction. He's a very angry man. Long may he prosper.
Of course there are far more names I could mention, but I've tried to confine myself to those for whom there's no question that I'm going to get the latest book. I'm possibly even keener on Paul Muldoon than on Peter Reading, but I don't find myself rushing out to buy every one of the former's publications. An element of selectivity (as is only right!) enters into my relations with most authors, I'm happy to say.
Nor (while I'm on the subject) do I buy each new critical book of critical prose that appears by Umberto Eco or Mario Vargas Llosa. I do find I have to get each of their novels, though ... whether I like it or not.

Home Remedies for Parvovirus in Dogs
Canine parvoviral enteritis is often termed 'parvo' in veterinary parlance. Puppies and unvaccinated dogs are at a high risk of contracting this infection, which causes severe intestinal damage. This DogAppy article gives you important tips to help treat your dog at home.
Renuka Savant
Take note:
If your dog seems lethargic and depressed, is vomiting, and/or has diarrhea, it's time to take it to the vet, ASAP. Though parvo isn't necessarily fatal, the resulting dehydration can put your dog's life at risk. Also, parvovirus is highly contagious, which means that if you have other pets, you must quarantine the affected pet immediately.
In a perfect world, we'd all be able to afford the sky-high veterinary bills, and provide our beloved pets with the best of treatment to cure whatever it is that ails them. Unfortunately, real-world economics prevent it from happening, but this doesn't mean that we have to sacrifice the welfare of our pets in the process.
Often, simple home remedies can have the desired impact as compared to expensive medical treatments, and they're also not as harsh. However, remember that home remedies cannot always be relied on, and there is this chance of losing precious time by delaying the necessary treatment. Therefore, always be prudent and keep a close watch on the progress your pet makes while administering home remedies―take your pet to the clinic immediately in case its condition remains the same, or worse, deteriorates.
What is Parvovirus?
Canine parvovirus is a deadly and contagious disease. The virus has a tendency to latch on to rapidly reproducing cells, specifically those lining the intestinal tract. The virus is shed in the stools of infected dogs for up to several weeks following infection. Then on, it is transmitted by oral contact with infected feces. The dog's hair and feet are perfect carriers for the virus, as are contaminated crates, bedding, and other objects. When a dog licks the infected fecal material off hair, feet, it acquires the disease.
Is my dog at risk?
The disease may affect dogs of all ages, but the highest number has been found in puppies aged 6 to 20 weeks. Doberman Pinschers and Rottweilers have been observed to be especially susceptible; however, the reason behind it remains unknown.
What are the symptoms?
The virus has an incubation period of 4 - 5 days, after which the earliest symptoms begin to manifest:
- Depression/listlessness
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
If possible, it is highly recommended that you take your pup to the vet immediately―in fact, irrespective of being diagnosed with parvo or not, symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea should never be ignored.
If taken to the vet, your dog will be administered intravenous fluids and medications to control vomiting and diarrhea. Severe cases may require blood plasma transfusions and other intensive care treatments.
If taken to the vet, your dog will be administered intravenous fluids and medications to control vomiting and diarrhea. Severe cases may require blood plasma transfusions and other intensive care treatments.
Home remedies
To combat the dehydration, you may prepare an electrolyte fluid using the following:
- 4 cups boiled or bottled drinking water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon Morton Lite salt (since it contains both, potassium and sodium chloride)
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin juice/chicken broth for flavor
Here's another recipe:
- 1 liter boiled water
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ tablespoon sea salt
Activated charcoal has been known to supplement this electrolyte solution, helping the dog regain strength. Mix one quarter teaspoon of the activated charcoal into one half cup of electrolyte solution, and try to get your pup to drink it. Try dosing with this mixture every 3 hours, and keep up with the plain electrolyte solution every half an hour.
One cannot stress enough on how crucial it is to get professional help in case your dog's health is on the line. Symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting should never be taken lightly; it is absolutely important to consult a vet in such conditions.

This is a short movie I shot in 2002, shortly after I came to live in Spain. It's basically about what feels like to be a guiri – Spanish slang for foreigner.
Download (right-click, save as), or watch it here.
Best watched while inebriated.

The bombers – Catalan for firemen – are protesting right under my windows. I am not really sure what it is about, but I sure as hell want to find out now (I guess that's the whole point of staging protests). Sirens are going off, someone is setting off firecrackers, and a helicopter is hovering right over my building.
View from my terrace:
If you're in Barcelona walk on over to the CCCB in the Raval and check out the J.G. Ballard exhibition called Autopsy of the New Millennium (until the November 2). According to the curator:
This exhibition offers an itinerary through Ballard's creative universe: his times and obsessions, his dissection of the secret keys of the contemporary, the traces of his own life in his fictional body of work, his artistic and literary referents, and his precise, disenchanted intuitions of a future life governed by the concepts of aseptic dystopia and disaster.
I haven't read many of Ballard's books, but his short story War Fever is among my all-time favorites. It's had a huge impact on the way I approach the themes in my writing. I sincerely believe – paraphrasing Joseph Campbell speaking about visionary artists – that he is tapped into the unconscious and can intuit things about the future. I'm curious to see how a retrospective on his work will be handled.
This guy has posted an extensive review of the exhibition.

Spain, the perennial underachievers, have won the Eurocup 2008. Who would have thought the Ramblas would be so full of Spanish flags?

Cholesterol has always been dubbed as the "bad fat" in certain foods and the main cause of blood vessel disease (Arteriosclerosis). These two entities have also been treated as the two main causes of heart attacks and strokes.
A survey of high cholesterol levels in South Africa (total cholesterol greater than 5 mmol/L) revealed that the majority of our adult Coloured, Indian and White population suffer from high cholesterol.
In these population groups:
High cholesterol increases the risk of a heart attack. The lowering of cholesterol is important for everyone: whether you are young or old, male or female, suffering from heart disease, or not.
The nasty fact is that in people over the age of 45, heart disease and stroke overtake HIV/AIDS as the leading cause of death among South Africans! It is important to remember that by lowering cholesterol that is too high you lessen your risk of the developing heart disease and possibly dying from a heart attack.
Also remember, your cholesterol can be controlled.
Excess "bad cholesterol" (LDL) has the ability to clog up our arteries whereas "good cholesterol" (HDL) can do the opposite. Most cholesterol medications lower the LDL found in our blood but doesn't do much for the HDL.

So, today we welcomed Term2 with open arms. For sure, the Xmas break was a fantastic, much-needed refereshing break but honestly, I had started to miss class and classmates and just being back in school with all the schedules and multi-tasking and long lectures and assignments, hmmm, yes, those too! 😀
So, we had the Term2 Kick-off session bright and early and then the 1st subject this term; Strategic Management. The day breezed through with an introduction to Strategy, pitfalls to avoid in execution of strategies, a guest lecture and a short group-assignment. Honestly, it felt like we never did have a Xmas- break; haha.
What stayed with me and I simply must write this down, before I forget:
- The reasons why a company is successful could also be the reasons why it fails.
- The key in strategy management is its execution. When I look back at projects in the past, for sure, it was implementation that made the difference; good, bad or ugly.
- You are never too big to fail.
- Just do it- else strategy management would stay merely on paper
- Communication is key- so talk, but don't forget to listen.
- Its ALL about the PEOPLE, and finally,
- Be passionate about what you do- it makes a huge difference when communicating your strategy. Conviction is key!
So, on that note, I'd better get back to reading the case for tomorrow.
Have a lovely day!
Warm regards,

Registration/deregistration The registration and deregistration thresholds are increased by £4,000 to £77,000 and £75,000 respectively with effect from 1 April 2012.
Fuel scale charge The figures for the amount of output VAT to account for in respect of fuel provided for private motoring are shown on our "Tax Facts" card. The figures are based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and come into effect in the first VAT return period beginning on or after 1 May 2012.
"Addressing borderline anomalies" A Consultation Document (closing date for responses – 4 May 2012) has been published in which HMRC set out their proposals for aligning the VAT treatment of similar products which are currently taxed differently, and for closing perceived loopholes which they believe can be used to avoid VAT.
In all cases, HMRC's proposed measures will come into effect on 1 October 2012, and will be accompanied by anti-forestalling provisions to prevent artificial prepayment arrangements being put in place prior to that date.

Did you know that the wheelchair can cause motion just like the car or boat? It is important to understand this fact because undiagnosed motion sickness subconsciously de-motivates an individual from engaging in therapeutic activities. Without even knowing it, motion sickness may have you or your loved one avoiding that "Sunday drive" or that wheeled "walk in the park".
Here are some simple tips that our staff promotes for avoiding motion sickness: 1) Face forward as much as possible, 2) look at the horizon, 3) don't read in the car, and 4) avoid pungent smells. Take our advice and reconsider taking that long walk downwind of the paper mill or pig farm.

It is the highest summit in this picture, shown at the top of the picture. Mackoght is the next summit below Errigal, with Beaghy (392m) the smaller peak beneath it again. The picture was taken looking SW from a point on the ridge between Aghla Beg South and Aghla More. Between this point and Beaghy is the hidden Lough Altan, which stretches some 2km left to right.

For this route I first tackled Errigal from the N and descended by the much more travelled route leading down to the col with Macknoght. From here it is a short climb of 20 mins to the rocky outcrops on the summit. The sheer scale of Errigal is very evident from here, completely dominating the view to the W - the real views are N to one of the most picturesque scenes imaginable over Atlan Lough to the slopes of Aghla More and further to the rest of the Aghlas and Muckish. I dropped down steeply to the NE over large and then smaller scree (great fun with feet sinking in about 6" as went down). Contour to the E continuing to drop down and pick up a fence heading towards Beaghy. Macknoght looks really impressive from here, its profile of distorted rock strata, sheer drops and scree slopes blocking the late autumn sunshine - almost a mini Errigal. As climb to the summit of Beaghy the sun began to shine on my back once again to give great views down over Atlan Lough. Drop down again to the E along the very steep drops down into the Lough until can eventually drop to the lough shore, crossing the river to the ruined dwelling - if I won the Lottery i know which house i would renovate no matter the cost. Fantastic hill with views to match and can be approached from a number of directions and be built into as long and demanding a day as you want.

Swimming is going great and the workouts have been long. Around 3500-4000 every tues and thurs and I just love it.
Running is going great and I can't wait until the Outback Half Marathon Classic on Thanksgiving. Oh, I hope they give us bread at the finish. That would just make my day! Tomorrow I will be running the Mandarin 10K after I run a 10K. I figured I would try to run a race on tired legs to see how it will feel on Thanksgiving when I try to break my PR of 1:39. And the other reason why I am running to the race (6 miles to the race start from my house) is because the Native Sun is putting on the race and after 12 miles of running and racing, I am going to fully enjoy the all-natural/organic buffet of food. YUMMM!!! I can't see myself running 6 miles after the 10K race and I can't really use the excuse "I just raced 6.2 miles, I can eat whatever I want, even if it is healthy" after "only" running a 10K. I'm sure I am not alone on my plan to train, race hard and enjoy my exhaustion with bagels, fruit, granola and yogurt :)
One thing that I have been really enjoying lately is base training with Karel. Seduza is hung on the wall in our spare room/office and Blue is on my mind every day. I just LOVE riding my road bike. I have been talking to Karel about selling Seduza because I really like my 700 wheels. Plus, they would be MUCH easier to change during a race if I ever had a flat. 650's are a pain, even for Karel! Any suggestions on a small tri-bike frame with 700 wheels? I am probably going to get a new tri-bike in the early spring/late winter.
The sunday after 70.3 Worlds I road with the Gearlinkers. It was just great seeing my friends (who are like family to Karel and me). I rode 60 miles with them and felt great. We talked a lot and each took turns pulling. I felt really strong and it was a great end to my weekend. On thursday this week I told Karel that I would ride with him and Jeff after my swim workout. So I swam from 6-7:15 and then headed home for an 830 ride. However, Karel did not tell me that they were planning on 2 hours instead of the normal 1 and I was a bit tired for the ride. But, I hung on and drafted like a pro. Although I was drafting mostly behind Jeff, I really liked the steady pace at 22-24 mph (in the wind). They were both working hard, rotating every minute for about 20 minutes and I was just riding behind them. I didn't mind having two great butts to look at. Jeff is not only Karel's team manager but also his boss. We are both very thankful to have him in our life and he has really been a great person to us both. And, Jeff is a crazy fast Pro 1 rider (and TT state champion) who use to play for the NFL. Crazy!!!
Anyways, the ride was good and we ended up with around 40 miles. I really enjoyed the ride and I didn't even complain once. After the ride and breakfast, I went to the Trek store to put invoices in the computer (one of my side jobs) and then I finally went home to crash on the couch for about 20 minutes. Then time for lunch.
Yesterday Karel had the day off and it was just great to be with him all day. Karel usually works 6-7 days a week so a full day off was gret. We went grocery shopping, did computer stuff and went to the post office. For dinner I made a big salad and we each had 1/2 whole wheat sub. I dressed up the sub with marinara sauce, hummus, cheese and mushrooms for pizza bread. I really enjoyed having Karel around all day and I'm happy that we are still loving each other after the wedding. I was told by a few people that after the wedding everything changes. Luckily, things just keep getting better. :)
This morning Karel and I went for an hour ride and I had the chance to pull Karel. He let me pull most of the ride since today was a recovery day for him. He has been working out really hard in the gym, with the weights, and riding really hard. It was a great workout today and I am looking forward to sunday when I will be riding with the boys for a long ride :)
I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. The week is finally over and it is time for the weekend! Unfortunantly, I have to squeeze some studying, homework and assignments into my routine so that I can finish up my semester with good grades.

Methods & Sample Requirements
Sample Requirement and Submission for the EA and OR Analysis
Please submit the samples to the building A, in front of the room 181 (second floor). The samples have to be labelled and accompanied by a corresponding submission form. There are special forms for elemental analysis elemental analysis and for the measurement of optical rotation. Blank forms can be found also in the box outside of room 181. A record of each sample has to be written in a logbook located in front of the room 181.
Radioactive samples cannot be accepted.
The results of the analysis are fulfilled in the submission form and placed in the box outside of room 181. They are also available on the internal Novell network in the directory I:\MISC\ElemAnal.
Sample requirements for Elemental Analysis
A sample should be submitted as the dry (homogeneous) solid or the neat (non-volatile) liquid. In case of XRF-analysis it is possible to treat also volatile compounds and liquids. The minimum sample amount for elemental analysis depends on which elements are to be analyzed and which method is used (see the table bellow). Please, use labelled glass vials for the samples; preferred are labels containing only capital letters and numbers, which are the only characters accepted by the instruments. The expected elemental composition (molecular formula) should be filled in the submission form. It help us by the calibration of the machines and by the option of optimal charge and elaborating process. In case the expected elemental composition differs more than 0.3% from results obtained (CHN automatic analysis), the measurement is repeated.
Sample requirements for Optical Rotation
A sample should be submitted as the dry solid or the neat liquid. The minimum sample amount is 2 mg; the more sample you submit the higher accuracy of the measurement is obtained. On the other hand, compounds with high optical rotation can be analysed at amounts of ca. 0.5 mg. In this case please indicate precisely weight of the sample or do not hesitate to contact the laboratory staff. The sample will be dissolved in the solvent specified in the submission form. Please pay attention to the solvent selection as only well dissolved samples give accurate results and eventual crystallization can damage rather expensive sample cell. If you want to get back your dissolved sample please provide as with an empty labelled bottle of appropriate size and indicate this fact in the submission form. Furthermore, you should specify the type of cell A (1.5 ml), B (0.5 ml) and C (2.8 ml). The cell A is ordinarily used. The required wavelengths values can be indicated in the submission form, the usual value is 589 nm.
The elemental analysis in brief
CHN determination
The determination of C, H and N in solid/liquid samples is performed using an automatic PE 2400 Series II CHNS/O Analyser. The sample weighed in a tin capsule is loaded in the instrument. When the tin is dropped into the high-heat oxygen environment of the combustion tube (heated at 925 °C), it creates a vigorous exothermic reaction. The sample temperature can reach 1700 °C, which aids in the combustion process. The sample is first oxidized in a pure oxygen environment. Final products produced on the combustion zone include CO2, H2O and N2. Element such as halogens and sulphur, are removed by scrubbing reagents in the combustion zone. The whole procedure excludes determination of ash. The resulting gases are homogenized and controlled to exact conditions of pressure, temperature and volume. N2, CO2 and H2O are moved by helium into the column, separated by a frontal chromatography and detected by thermal conductivity detector. The whole procedure is controlled by a microprocessor taking into account data from analysis of blanks, internal and external standards. The analysis is finished in approx. 6 min.
XRF-analysis (SPECTRO iQII)
Method principle: A solid, liquid or powder sample is excited in a sample compartment of the analyzer with X-rays emitted from an X-ray tube. The innermost electrons of various atoms are ejected from the inner shells creating vacancies in the process called the photoelectric effect. The vacancies represent unstable condition for the atomic system. Electrons from outer shells occupy the vacancies; the corresponding energy differences cause an emission of characteristic secondary (fluorescence) X-rays. The radiation frequencies are characteristic for individual elements. The intensity of a particular line corresponds to the content of an element in the sample. All element specific X-ray fluorescence signals from the sample are detected simultaneously in a fixed mounted semiconductor detector and evaluated. Hence, an X-ray fluorescence spectrum is obtained. SPECTRO iQ II instrument uses a polarized primary radiation for increased sensitivity and the noise reduction (especially important for determination of the light elements). The analysis is non-destructive, thus the sample after analysis (eventually after a solvent evaporation) can be used further.
Qualitative analysis: The SPECTRO iQ II spectrometer allows a qualitative detection of elements from Na to U in different types of samples (e.g. liquids, solutions, solid (powders) samples (except gases). We have got the cups for analyses of liquid samples (solutions, emulsions and suspensions) and furthermore for powder samples and solid pressed tablets. The limits of detection are different depending on individual elements; commonly they are in range from one to tens ppm.
Quantitative analysis: Currently, we can perform quantitative analyses of the elements, which we have been doing with titration methods, i.e. P, S, Cl, Br and I. A new methods for the determination of Al, Si, K, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Ru, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sn, Cs, Pt, Au, Hg and Pb are established (Al in toluene/oil matrix and Pt in water). Nowadays the quantitative analyses are limited to sample solutions in methanol, because the calibration models for methanolic solutions are developed. Thus at least a minimal solubility of analyzed sample in methanol is required to prepare a defined sample solution. For simultaneous analyses of the all elements required we need 1 - 5mg of a sample. Of course, this value depends on the content of determined elements in a particular sample. Considering the results of many performed tests, both precision and accuracy of results obtained via X-ray fluorescence method is comparable to the current methods' performance characteristics. In fact, we can develop methods for determination of any element (from Na to U) but we need an appropriate standard (or standards) with a known (certified) content of the element to be determined. In future, it is possible to develop various quantitative methods in several other non-volatile solvents with proper elemental compositions (water, ethanol…) with respect to your requirements.
Determination of F and P, S, Cl, Br and I (by "classical" titrimetric way)
For analysis of F the sample is combusted by Schöniger method (i.e. in quartz Erlenmeyer flask in oxygen atmosphere). Formed F- is determined potentiometrically by using ion-selective electrode.

P&P - Web Service with REST Application Pattern
It was interesting that all the fuss over Oxite had a positive impact. Unfortunately Microsoft are also now giving us their views on REST (WCF REST starter kit, argh) and more recently REST with a domain model in Two-Tier Service Application Scenario (REST) which J.D. Meier calls the Web Service with REST Application Pattern.
If you understand REST/DDD, or like Fowlers original meanings for his patterns, or believe that "Business Process Objects" with methods like "Promote (object[] data)" could be improved on then you might want to look away now. Come on though I've piqued your interest, have a look, it makes you feel dirty but yet at the same time makes you glad you now realize that perhaps there are other ways to build applications.
Might be interesting to see how this relates to the old design documents MS used to pass out, pretty sure its not that different except resource is now used in some places instead of service. Service + procedural code + database, rock on.
Anyway I'm going to go back to writing my own comments on it to put on the page, its going to take me a while...

Murali Sitaram: "Cisco's Quadragenarian"
This week in No Jitter, Cisco Collaboration Vice President Murali Sitaram is featured in an extensive Q&A with editor Dave Michels. Entitled, "Cisco's Quadragenarian," Sitaram is working to take Cisco, a company with a strong networking core, and move it towards collaboration software that is both social and cloud-based.
Murali discusses his role, Cisco's perspective on social business software, the post PC-era, collaboration in general, people-centric collaboration, email and more. In part he says:
"In today's post-PC era, employees no longer are tied to their desk or required to sit in a conference room to do their jobs…Social collaboration adds a new layer to the communication experience, allowing companies to innovate, grow, expand into new markets and increase productivity.
Over the last two or three decades we have been living in the era of the "document" or…email…if you think about it, people don't really collaborate or work in that way…We have conversations, we share in communities…previous generation of tools have outlived their utility and we must rethink how people work."
Read about Sitaram's radical suggestions for shifting email workloads to better workspaces for people to collaborate. I hope you enjoy reading the interview. Let me know your thoughts on collaboration and enterprise social software.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

As an employee of a large company, we have been migrating to social, cloud-based solutions like everyone else.
One of the challenges I face daily is how to use my company's powerful collaboration tools on projects involving external partner companies and customers. For reasons of security and protection of intellectual property, it is practically impossible to stand up a collaborative workspace to include outsiders.
One of the things I found encouraging in Murali Sitaram's article is the intent to embrace and design around industry standards for social cloud-based solutions.
As CISCO does so well in the networking arena, if your open standards approach leads to the capability to lash up collaborative workspaces across company boundaries while maintaining security of the data, this would be a huge win for CISCO and the community.

Don't Ignore Neck Pain: It Can Give Rise to Debilitating Pain
The high flexibility of the neck gives you the ability to swing it from right to left and nod from front to back. It's what allows you to extend your neck to look at something above, below, and beyond. However, it's also this characteristic that makes it more vulnerable to injuries, conditions, and diseases that can result in decreased mobility and minor to severe pain.
Neck pain can be debilitating, so it's important to seek treatment when the pain you experience doesn't go away after several days, according to Dr. Jacob Wooten, a chiropractor in South Jordan. Many such practices can help you pinpoint the cause, give you a proper diagnosis, and treat it before it worsens.
Whiplash injuries: One of the most common reasons for neck pain
Whiplash injuries are amongst the most common neck-pain-inducing injuries. They usually develop after a road accident, particularly a rear-end car collision. The pain comes from the huge strain placed on the neck's soft tissues after the head rapidly jerks back and forth. Sports injuries, as well as physical abuse, can also lead to painful whiplash injuries.
Some cases of whiplash only result in short-term pain, with the injury healing on its own. However, there are also many situations wherein it can cause long-term discomfort, even debilitating pain. It's best to seek the advice of your primary physician as well as a chiropractor if you still feel pain a couple of weeks after the accident.
Age-related wearing of the joints
Over time, your joints will wear, especially when you subject your body to more stress and pressure than it can withstand. There are also age-related disorders, such as arthritis, that hasten the degradation of the cartilage which supports the bones. When this happens, pain from the joint arises. The neck is a common area where arthritis develops.
Since your neck supports your head, you shouldn't ignore the pain and other symptoms it manifests. Seek professional assistance right away.

Cigna sues Anthem, wants $14 billion to break up merger deal
Anthem vows to hold Cigna to the merger agreement and says it remains committed to closing the transaction.
Cigna is suing Anthem for more than $14 billion and severing its $54 billion merger agreement despite Anthem's promise that it would fight to close the transaction.
Cigna's lawsuit seeks the $1.85 billion breakup fee stipulated in their merger contract and an additional $13 billion in damages.
[Also: Anthem, Cigna merger blocked by judge; Anthem pledges to appeal]
The additional damages sought by Cigna include the amount of premium that shareholders did not get as a result of the failed merger, Cigna said.
[Also: Cigna reports lower profit, higher revenue expectations for 2017]
Anthem said that on Jan. 18, Anthem extended its merger agreement with Cigna through April 30.
"Under the terms of the merger agreement, Cigna does not have a right to terminate the agreement," Anthem said. "Therefore, Cigna's purported termination of the merger agreement is invalid. Anthem will continue to enforce its rights under the merger agreement and remains committed to closing the transaction."
On Feb. 8, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in favor of the Department of Justice's request to block the merger on the grounds that the deal would decrease competition and lessen choice in the national accounts market.
Hours later, Anthem said it would appeal the decision.
"In light of the court's ruling, Cigna believes that the transaction cannot and will not achieve regulatory approval and that terminating the agreement is in the best interest of Cigna's shareholders," Cigna said in a statement Tuesday.
Cigna filed the lawsuit against Anthem in Delaware.
The suit argues Cigna has lawfully ended the merger agreement and that Anthem is not permitted to extend the termination date.
Cigna said it was disappointed in the outcome of planned merger.
The merger trial in December revealed rifts among the two insurers, unlike the apparently smooth partnership between Aetna and Humana, whose $37 billion planned consolidation was also rejected in federal court.
[Also: Aetna to pay $1 billion breakup fee to walk away from Humana merger]
Earlier on Tuesday, Aetna announced it would not pursue the deal and that it would pay Humana a $1 billion breakup fee.

I met Paulina and Kate at the beach, right when the sun was rising. It was a magical time for them, and for me as a photographer and as a mother of a nursing child.
The quietness, the pastel colors in the sky, the light wind, and then the warm sunlight - all came together so perfectly.
I know we rarely nurse in a setting like this in real life, but that's what makes a Mother's Milk session at sunrise even more magical. It's a time to focus on your child, on your nursing relationship. It's a time to touch their little hands, and receive their touch in return. It's a time to appreciate the beauty of life and our role as mothers, and the incredible thing that our bodies can do.
We left the beach as friends, and I'm so grateful to have met these two and to call them my dear friends now.
Thank you Paulina, for letting me witness such beauty and for making room in your life for me and my little ones.

Smoked ham hocks can be eaten plain or used to lend bold, smoky flavor to dishes such as bean soup, but you must ensure the ham hocks are still good. Freshness might come into question if you have leftover ham hocks stored in the refrigerator. Ham hocks that are salt cured before smoking stay fresh for much longer in the refrigerator because they lack the moisture that leads to rapid spoiling, but they eventually go bad just like uncured ham hocks.
Video of the Day
Check the packaging carefully to ensure the ham hocks have been sealed tightly in storage as exposure to air leads to rapid food spoilage. If the wrapping or lid is loose, it might be a sign that the ham hocks aren't good.
Refer to the storage date and discard ham hocks that have been stored in the refrigerator for longer than seven days or longer than three weeks for salt-cured ham hocks.
Check the temperature inside your refrigerator and discard the ham hocks immediately if they've been stored above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, even if they've only been in the refrigerator for one day. Bacteria grows rapidly within the temperature danger zone, between 40 F and 140 F. Hang a small refrigerator thermometer from one of the racks to monitor the actual temperature inside the fridge.
Smell the ham hocks to detect any unpleasant or sour odors that occur when meat spoils.
Inspect the ham hocks carefully for color changes on the outside and inside -- this requires cutting into a section of the ham hocks. As meat spoils, it often takes on a gray, green or even black color. Additionally, smoked ham hocks are likely to develop a fuzzy mold, particularly in the small crevices.
Feel the ham hocks with your bare hands to detect a slimy film that might be a sign of spoilage.

Supplement pills are dietary products which contain one or more ingredients. They are normally produced in such a way that it can augment the intake of the daily nutrients. In fact, it provides all the basic micronutrients which the body requires. The supplement pills are safe since it contains only small amount of every product. What are some of the factors which an individual needs to consider before Buying Supplement pills?
1. Decide on the supplements pills required
This is one of the factors which involve talking to a physician or a local health care professional for advice. The experts will understand the physiological conditions and recommend certain products which one needs to use, and it works well for him or her.
2. Which are supplement pills the most effective and safe to use?
It is important to know that not all the supplement pills are the same. In fact, some of the supplements contain some filler which can weaken their effects. On the other hand, others are made of dangerous products causing very harmful side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to identify the pros and cons of every supplement before using them.
3. Never subscribe to the auto-ship programs
The auto—ship program refers to a huge red flag which is in the community of nutritional supplement. This is a company which ships the nutritional supplement pills monthly. The reason behind avoiding such programs is that the users are automatically enrolled after purchasing a single order. When one pays for a single order, another order, as well as an identical fee, will arrive at your doorstep.
4. Ensuring that the website is secure
After putting into consideration the factors highlighted, the next thing to do is to ship the order by entering the payment information. But, ensure that the supplement pills website has an ordering form which is secure. This will totally eliminate the chances of being scammed as well as the likelihood of getting your credit card stolen. A person can verify that when the front of the URL address bar is: https.
The supplement pills are of great significance as they might be used for the treatment of iron deficiency. In addition to that, they can cure specific risk factors or health conditions. One can also improve cognitive strength, memory and treat depression by using this kind of supplement. Therefore, it is important to put into consideration the above factors before Buying Supplement pills.

Seth Meyers Dishes Some Presidential Fashion Advice
Not even a dark and gloomy rainstorm could dampen the blinding fabulousness of the fashion-meets-Hollywood crowd that showed up to honor legendary designer Michael Kors in New York last night. The longtime Project Runway judge received the Golden Heart Award for Lifetime Achievement for his 20-year support and commitment to God's Love We Deliver, the New York non-profit that provides nutritious meals and counseling to people suffering from severe illnesses. A tally of the A-listers who were on hand: Gwyneth Paltrow, Glee and American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, a majorly hot Patti Hansen and her two genetically-blessed model daughters Alexandra and Theodora Richards, Bette Midler, Olivia Munn and SNL Weekend Update's Seth Meyers.
Understandably, the go-to designer for surefire Best Dressed List–making red carpet gowns brought out an impressive stable of models, too. Lily Donaldson, Liu Wen (rocking pants!), Karolina Kurkova, a newly-brunette Brooklyn Decker and Victoria's Secret Angel Erin Heatherton all attended in support of the American fashion icon.
"I'm only as good as the people I dress," a beaming Kors said in reference to the supes. "And I mean all of these women–whether they're in the public eye or just someone on the street-they're the people who bring it [his designs] to life. So it's kind of exciting to see them all here. I like to see what they're all wearing, what they're doing. And dealing with the rain and looking glamorous. Not easy."
Along with fashion and philanthropy, another timely matter was hot on the minds of many guests: the upcoming presidential election (register to vote, people!). Thankfully, the 2012 CFDA Awards host Seth Meyers was on hand–wearing pants this time–to weigh in on the issues. Well, the fashion issues, duh, we're not Politico.
He declined to give advice on the (fashion) controversy-plagued Ann Romney-how very non-partisan-but the guys were pretty fair game.
"I think Paul Ryan's suits are a little big," Meyers observed in agreement with most of the fashion media. "That's the advice I'd give. And in the first debate, I thought Mitt Romney had a crooked knot on his tie. When you live in this world-which I do on Weekend Update-the tie is very important."
Interesting. So, does the comedian have any neck-wear suggestions for both candidates for the final presidential debate?
"One of those piano ties from the eighties," he declared. "That would be fun. I think they should both wear them."

The ABC program opened up my child's imagination about life and art
The program is beneficial for the children! We are slowly uncovering the potential in some of them, and we hope we can keep up with the program so that we give the kids more room for improvement
Before, our interaction with other families was minimal. But since our kid learned how to draw through his art class, he can communicate through drawings and make new friends.
We have given careful consideration about every aspect of the course and have prepared each class with our whole heart. The school seems to be pleased with us.
My child's participation in the ABC program inspired her dreams, beliefs, and freedom to think
This program has boosted the child's confidence and made him [my child] to be bolder and more outgoing.
We're already doing a great job, but we need to know that whom we're teaching, the migrant children, constitute a very special subset of the population. Every child has a very different personality and fare very differently in academics.

Liat is wonderful! After our relocation, I lost a lot of weight and I got sick very often, so I turned to acupuncture, and got warm recommendations about her. Through a few very pleasant meetings, Liat helped me regain my health and my weight, and get my immune system back on track, which is exactly what I hoped for.The sessions themselves were lovely, calm and filled with laughter, which was great. I was really looking forward to them! It has been a year now, and my health and weight have never been better. To anyone in doubt, I highly recommend Liat, which helped me a lot with her expertise and support, and always with a true smile.
I've been seeing Liat for cosmetic acupuncture. My face looks like it has stopped aging. The brown spots are lighter and wrinkles are less prominent. Whenever I come back from a treatment, people comment on how much my skin glows. Liat is caring, compassionate, and very approachable; the time flies by when I'm there. I love that I get two treatments in one–"regular" acupuncture to treats what ails me and cosmetic acupuncture to stop the clock from aging my skin.
I went to see Liat with acute back pains during a very stressful period. Liat was amazing from the get go and managed to help me get my back in a better shape from the first visit. I felt better with every visit and with Liat's attentive care, reduce my stress level and back pains and increase my ability to focus. I wholeheartedly recommend choosing Liat as your Acupuncturist as she remarkable at her job and is a joy to be around.
During the grueling fertility treatments, I was lucky to have Liat come into my life. Liat has saved me through acupuncture and relaxation and releasing the tremendous mental stress I was in. Liat was always very tender and understanding and brought a smile to my face throughout the whole process.There is no doubt that the meetings with her helped me deal with the treatment, and more than that, I have no doubt that Liat was a major part of our success in getting pregnant and eventually getting blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Thank you!
Liat is an amazing acupuncturist, she 'reads' your body and your soul as a whole and that enables her to give the most accurate and perfect treatment.Every member of my family was treated by her (parents & children) for: back pains, ear infection and autoimmune illness. We say THANK YOU Liat for all the caring and amazing healing you've given us.
I came to Liat after my third pregnancy. I'm afraid of needles and wasn't sure how I'll handle it.It was Amazing! Liat, with her gentle touch, her calm and professional attitude, helped me to deal with my fear of needles. After every treatment I felt so peaceful and calm. It is very clear that Liat knows what she is doing, and she finds the way to make you comfortable. I definitely recommend Liat! Even if you are afraid of needles like me, she will help you with her special way!
Dealing with a chronic digestive system disease is a challenge. Being a firm believer in western medicine I came to Liat with my share of doubts – she made me a believer. After receiving a diagnosis from my doctor that I will have to take 8 pills a day for the rest of my life in order to keep my disease in remission, I came to Liat. With incredible sensitivity and phenomenal level of professionalism I am now well into my second year of remission with no drugs at all!!I can't thank her enough and recommend anyone who is looking to improve their well being and health to reach out and enjoy the amazing care Liat provides.
During my second pregnancy I suffered from a really bad allergic reaction. The doctors could not diagnose the cause and due to the fact that I was pregnant, I could not take any allergy medicine (besides Benadryl which didn't work and only made me drowsy). Luckily Liat was there, not only with her magic touch, but was also very sensitive to my needs and condition. After a few sessions with Liat, I felt a huge relief and the symptoms were gone.I highly recommend Liat not just as a professional, but also as a caring person with a very positive attitude.

The Beats are open source data shippers that you install as agents on your servers to send different types of operational data to Elasticsearch. Beats can send data directly to Elasticsearch or send it to Elasticsearch via Logstash, which you can use to parse and transform the data.
Packetbeat, Filebeat, Metricbeat, and Winlogbeat are a few examples of Beats. Packetbeat is a network packet analyzer that ships information about the transactions exchanged between your application servers. Filebeat ships log files from your servers. Metricbeat is a server monitoring agent that periodically collects metrics from the operating systems and services running on your servers. And Winlogbeat ships Windows event logs.
If you have a specific use case to solve, we encourage you to create your own Beat. We created an infrastructure to simplify the process. The libbeat library, written entirely in Golang, offers the API that all Beats use to ship data to Elasticsearch, configure the input options, implement logging, and more.

Idaho's County Court System – 03/16/16
Under the Idaho Constitution, Idaho's court system is unified under the supervision of the Idaho Supreme Court. Under the framework established by the Idaho Legislature, however, both the State and the Counties fund the trial courts. This hybrid model presents complexities and opportunities for increased collaboration among the counties and the courts. Senior Judge Barry Wood, interim Deputy Administrative Director of the Courts, and Andrea Patterson, HR Director for the Idaho Courts, will describe the Idaho courts' framework in more detail, including the areas that have been particularly challenging over the years as well as any relevant legislative updates.
