In Gloucester, MA at the local high school there was a sharp increase in the number of pregnancies amongst the students – four times higher than normal. This sparked a debate about handing out contraception in the school – even without parental permission. TIME Magazine asked the principal Dr. Joseph Sullivan about the issue and he responded: "a lack of birth control played no part" …. "That bump was because of seven or eight sophomore girls," Sullivan told TIME. "They made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together."
The media glommed onto the story. It was in all the papers. It was debated on the radio and every talking head on cable news had every pundit possible show up to talk about sexual education – pro and con – or contraception in schools – pro and con – or the psychological reasons for it – was it the movie Juno or was it Jamie Lynn Spears or was it social isolation?
The Christian answer to the question "Why?" is our sinful nature. Regardless of how educated one is, regardless of the means one has to avoid natural consequences, regardless of what one watches or whom one idolizes or one's familial and social circumstances – our sinful nature is looking for something or someone to fulfill it, to soothe it, to make it well again. It will never find peace and comfort where it should be found because Christ wants our sinful nature put to death. The old Adam is forever doing his own thing and trying to escape God's punishment. He is broken beyond repair. The New Man, in Christ, the baptized Christian, however, is saved and free from the curse of the Law and the sting of death — and therein lies the hope for us and for those looking for fulfillment apart from Christ.
Old Adam vs. New Creation – A battle that cannot be won by Law.
The young ladies in the story aren't talking much, but it was generally reported that they were in the "at-risk" category – they didn't have stable families, they hung out with the wrong crowd – there are a lot of things lacking in their lives that would provide them with the ideal environment in which to spend their teenage years. In one of the TIME Magazine reports on the subject it was quoted that some of the girls involved wanted "unconditional love" and they were hoping that a baby would provide that.
Think about that for a minute from a Lutheran perspective: We all were born in sin and in iniquity did our mothers conceive us. Although helpless and cute, babies are not without sin. That is why Christ baptizes them! Unconditional love is not something that can be found in other sinful humans, but our families are to be models of Christian love. Christian love is not human dependent but is living a life of forgiveness and mercy that comes from Christ alone. Parents are to care for and support their children in their earthly needs the best they can, but they are to especially take care of their children's foremost need; that the Word of God and Means of Grace are available to them. Christian love is giving away what you haven't earned, but rather what Christ has.
If the young ladies in this story are from homes without a proper concept of Christian love and their families have not enforced a more practical lifestyle upon them, they are looking to correct the problem by starting over with a new family. They are hoping that a new relationship, in which they as the parent ("I won't make the same mistakes my parents made" LOL) and the still "innocent" new life will wipe the slate clean.
The problem is that this is an old Adam solution – no human relationship is going to repair the damage of sin. There is only one "birth" that makes our slates clean and that was the virgin birth of our Lord who gives us a second birth in Baptism.
We could approach this overall problem for the perspective of the Law: We could curb teenage pregnancy by punishing the people involved. We could show them the error of their ways and shame them. We could show them role models of other kids that have become great successes by being chaste. Or we could take a more worldly law approach and find ways to take away the outcomes of uncontrolled natural impulses.
Is any of this going to bring about true repentance, forgiveness, and change? The answer is no.
The relationship with the Child of the only unwed-but-virgin mother is the answer. Repentance and mercy must be preached into the broken homes. Forgiveness must be offered to fallen sinners and to those tempted to sin. Especially when there is no family available where all gather around the dinner table nightly, to give thanks and to "break bread," the Lord's Table must be shown as the meal together with our heavenly family. Here the love between Father and Son is perfect and proceeds to call, enlightens and sanctifies us in the Holy Spirit.
Policies and programs, teachers and school boards can do their best to use their God-given reason to help curb the manifestations of sin in our schools and world, but the true answer to the problem is in the hands of our Lord and His Church. The answer for our own personal chastity lies in Word and Sacrament and daily repentance and contrition. God will answer our prayers and send us comfort and escape from temptation when the old Adam is screaming at us to use his solutions.
We also have the ultimate honor to invite those who are hurting and looking for sinful solutions to come with us, to come home to Church, where they too can receive the forgiveness that is lacking in our families and is fed on food that gives us life and salvation.

Here we are Week 2 of #simplefloralfridays Last week I shared he simplest of simple, by adding a single stem to a favorite bottle, and it made all the difference to the top of my kitchen hutch, be sure to check that out HERE. I am SUPER excited that Afloral has sponsored me, so of corse all my florals are from them, and they are top notch quality. I love that you order and they come right to your door. Woo Hoo!!!! Doing it yourself, isn't that always a much more inexpensive way, no matter what you are trying to do. Even adding florals to your home, by making your own, saves money. However, so many sweet friends out there think because they are not a professional, that they can't create there own arrangements. I am here to tell you, that is not true. You absolutely can do this. I would suggest picking a color pallet, just one or two accent colors and the rest all neutrals, so greenery, white, and even a few dried things would mix well. If you keep everything in a coordinating color pallet, you will be able to use and reuse your things a million ways. I also like to add something fresh to my collection every once in awhile to give myself even more options. Purchase a huge basket, it could be a plastic hamper or laundry basket, or something decorative, to store all your unused florals in, and you will have them ready when ever you are. Here I am showing you how to fill a large vessel, in my case an Antique,white, ironstone, pitcher, filled to the brim. Choose the florals, some greenery three different florals, two white one pink, another softer green grennery, and then one stem of some blooming sedum for interest. I spread them allot on the table, in piles, and in the order I wanted toads them to the container.
Here you see both angles. Then I picked up the entire bunch, one at a time in order, so starting with the seeded Eucalyptus down or up depending which shot you are looking at. Then I dropped it into the pitcher and fluffed, done. Anyone can make a beautiful arrangement using this method.
Here is the finished arrangement styled on my mantle.
Below I added this sweet, lush, handmade, Eucalyptus Wreath made by my sweet friend from Mustard Seed Beginnings for some dimension.
I hope this inspires you to try a little floral arranging on your own.
Thanks for Stopping by the Blog
See you next Friday for more ideas!!!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has made a new rule that took effect Monday November 4 that is setup to provide those making an international bank transfer more reliability and greater transparency.
Every year, billion of U.S. dollars are wired from the U.S. to other countries. Companies providing remittance transfer services will now have to disclose all costs prior to the transaction being made, provide payment verification and offer a system to resolve disputes.
The new regulation, authorized through the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Consumer and Reform Protection Act, applies only to international transfers that are $15 or more and handled through a credit union, bank, thrift and the majority of other companies that are in the business of providing such service.
The fees for the transfer service are required to be disclosed along with the exchange rate and any taxes so the customer knows what the true cost of making the transfer is prior to approving it.
The information must be supplied at no charge and the customer cannot be obligated to continue with any transaction if they decide not to. It can be used to check out prices in the market as well.
When a transaction is completed, a receipt should be given to the emitter that shows proof that payment was made as well as the exchange rate and fees. The receipt should also have a time when the money being transferred will be available at its final destination.
International wire transfer customers have 180 days or six months from the time of the transfer to dispute any error. The wiring company is then given up to 90 days to make its investigation and give the customer its results.
In certain situations, such as the money never reached its destination, the customer is allowed to ask for a complete refund or have the same money resent.
In the majority of cases, customers have as many as 30 minutes and sometimes longer, to cancel the transaction after having paid for it, at no cost and be given a complete refund.
The vast majority of financial institutes support this new rule and some had even implemented similar policies prior to the rule being put in place.

Taming the Text Tool in PSP8
Learn how to use the text tool in PSP8
|Let's go over the new and improved Text Tool in PSP 8 and
figure out how to use it efficiently and with as little frustration as possible.
The Text Tool has radically changed from PSP7 as you can tell when you first click on the image with the Tool.
So, jumping right in.
Open a new file for this exercise from File> New on the Menu Bar or by clicking the New file icon on on the Standard ToolBar.
Yeah the terminology is changing a bit, since you can make your own toolbars and all.
The Standard Tool Bar is under the Menu Bar at the top of PSP8 window.
Set the Image dimensions to 400 X 300, the resolution to 72 both using pixels. Set the Image Characteristics to Raster Background, 16 million colors. UNcheck transparent.
Before pressing OK to set the new file, consider saving this preset if it is one you will use often.
Click Save icon at the top of the New Image dialog box and give it a descriptive name.
The preset will be available to you in the future by clicking the down arrow next to Presets and selecting it from the drop down list.
Click OK to open the new image.
Pick the Text Tool from the Tool Bar running down the right side of PSP. (It's not the tool palette anymore, but a bar.)
Notice the Tool Options Palette changes to reflect the Text options.
I have my options palette docked along the bottom of PSP Window, but you can dock it anywhere you want or pull it off and undock.
My suggestion is to UNCHECK the All tools box under the Color swatches on the Materials Palette, (Formerly called the Color Palette!) before clicking in the image with the text tool.
I have had some nasty surprises when I kept this checked!
Set the foreground color to Transparent by clicking the last circle with line through it under the foreground swatch.
For text this is the outline color.
We don't want an outline today.
Set up a color in the background material swatch by clicking the circle under it and making sure the little black dot is showing.
Note, on this area one can change from Solid to Pattern to Gradient.
Click directly on the background color swatch to open the Material dialog box (formerly the color dialog box)
Set the color to Red by using the upper left corner color in the standard colors in the middle.
Make sure the Texture box on the right side is UN checked. We don't want no texture mucking up the works here!
Press OK to set the background color (fill color) to red.
Just a diversion to have you look at the Material palette. ;)
on the text.
Click in the image with Text Tool, the A on the Tool Bar.
Notice the new Text Entry box is smaller and less cluttered than in previous versions.
This is good.
UNcheck remember text.
Select all the text with the cursor so it is highlighted in blue.
the Tool Options Palette, pick a font from the font drop down box, I picked
Arial Black but any boldish font will do.
Notice in the screen shot on the left the preview of the font on the right side of the pop up box. This should help you choose the look you want.
Set the Size to 18 or to any size that fits the text on the page using the size drop down box. Press OK.
Notice the Tool Options Palette for the text reflects the text you have on the image.
Press OK.
Click the text tool in a blank part of the image and type"Not my cup of tea" using the same font but at 24 pt.
|Move it up using the middle node right under the Around the world text. The text should be similar to mine.
Let's edit a Text object.
There are several ways to do this, one being to pick the text tool, mouse over the text you want then click when the cursor changes to a bracketed A, [A]
Or, if you had another tool selected and the text tool doesn't work as above, pick the Vector Selector tool at the bottom of the Tool Bar click the text you want to edit.
Double click on it with the Vector selector to open the text edit box.
A third way to get the text entry box back via the layer palette. (F8 on the keyboard)
Expand the vector layer by clicking the + sign next to it, then double clicking the sub layer with the text you want to edit.
Simple as pie, but different from PSP7 and previous versions. Phew!
With the Text Entry box showing and the Text selected, manipulate the words, or the properties on the options palette, or the color in the material palette.
For example. Reopen" Around the work in 30 days" line by any one of the three methods above. All the text should be selected.
On the property bar, adjust the Kerning to -30 by either typing the value into the box, clicking the up and down arrows or moving the slider. Be sure to uncheck the Auto kern box first! :)
Notice how the letters squish together in the image.
While still in this text edit mode, change the font style to Italic and Bold.
Well, where are the fool things???
Since all the text options cannot fit on the options palette on one screen, notice the little black right facing arrow on the right side of the bar.
Click it and more text options open up.
|Pick the slanted I icon on the font style area and the B for bold.
while we are here, change the Text color of the word world to blue.
In the text edit box, highlight only the word "world."
Click on the red background swatch on the Material palette and pick a bright blue.
Notice in the image how only the word "world" changes color.
Change the kerning value for world as well.
If you cannot see the kerning stuff on the Tool Options Palette, find the black right facing arrow in the middle of the options palette/bar thingy and click it.
Still with world selected, change the size to 24.
Press Apply on the Text Entry box and view the changes in the image.
Move the text back onto the page if it ran off the edge.
For further practice, reopen Not my cup of tea for editing.
In the text Entry box, select Not. Change the font to something besides Arial Black. I picked BlacklightD. Notice the change in the image.
Pick only the word tea.
Change this font to something different again. Change the size to 48.
Click the background color swatch and select the Gradient tab on the Material box then choose a gradient fill from the drop down box next to the gradient preview.
Notice our line has some weird text! ;)
|Press Apply on the text box to effect the changes permanently.
And that, my dears, is the power behind PSP8's new text feature.
It will take some getting used to for sure, but you will like it once you get the hang of it. Promise! Go practice and see what other wild texts you can come up with.
This is NOT the end of the line for this image and next week we will work on some of the vector tool changes and use this image as our starting point.
Save this file in the pspimage format with name like TextExercise. Keep
for next week.

one bowl jalapeno cornbread
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
this one bowl jalapeno cornbread packs just enough heat to counter the sweet, and with only one bowl is a breeze to make
as far as bread making goes, it really doesn't get much easier than cornbread. you don't need yeast. there's no kneading or waiting for it to rise. you don't need a mixer, and for this recipe you only need one bowl. how easy is that?
i used to make cornbread fairly often. anytime i made chili or a dish with a southern feel. i love it, ian loves it, but as with most things we like the kids do not agree. so i stopped making cornbread.
a few weekends ago i was back home in buffalo and spent a night eating my way around the city at the taste of buffalo. we ate, and ate, and ate some more. two of my favorites from the night were the beef on weck eggroll from local kitchen and the lobster mac and cheese from SEAR. just as i thought i would explode my bil strolls by with this amazing mac and pork sandwich from the ny beer project, and it was served on grilled jalapeno corn bread.
the sandwich was so good it won the hometown hero award, so yes this is happening in my kitchen.
especially when we arrived home from ny to find a bushel of jalapenos from the garden.
one bowl jalapeno cornbread
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk (i always bake with whole milk)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 or 2 jalapenos diced
- 1 jalapeno sliced - for the top
- preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- butter a standard loaf pan
- melt butter in a large microwave safe bowl (i love my glass mixing bowl)
- whisk in sugar, eggs, and milk
- add baking powder, salt, flour, and cornmeal and stir just until combined
- fold in diced jalapenos and spoon into prepared pan
- top batter with the sliced jalapenos and bake 45 - 50 minutes until golden brown
- cool in pan 10 minutes, and then move to a rack to cool
- this bread is SO good warm with butter and honey, but it does slice much neater when completely cool
we like things spicy, so for my loaf i diced two fresh jalapenos and then added another sliced jalapeno for the top. if you prefer a less spicy loaf, seed your peppers or use fewer of them. either way you will have a moist and delicious loaf of cornbread perfect for eating with butter and honey or for grilling a mac and pork sandwich … recipe is coming soon
it may not matter that the kids don't care for cornbread because ian and i had no trouble at all eating this one all by ourselves, and it is so easy to make i plan to make it a lot. kids consider yourselves warned.

The Aussie Dog Catch Balls are durable and long lasting. Unlike a tennis ball, the nodules make the ball easier for your best friend to pick up and, most importantly, prevents choking or blockage to airways. The blue ball is soft while the red version is harder for tougher dogs. Both are pop proof and long lasting
Pop proof
Durable and long lasting
Soft and hard versions
No choking hazard like a tennis ball
Floats on water
Will outlast any tennis ball
NOT a chew toy, play and put away

Redemption (Blu-ray)
Two innocent girls fall prey to some pirate 'wreckers,' and then seek demonic help to exact their revenge. It's all typical euro-sleaze horror fare, until the clown shows up.
The film opens with head-shots and descriptions of the four wreckers; the captain who is haunted by his victims (then why does he keep doing it?); the hot woman who takes her clothes off a lot; the second in command, who's plotting against the captain; and the other guy who's playing both sides.
In the case of the captain, his defining character trait (guilt) plays a large roll in the film. It imbues every aspect of his personality, and leads to the ultimate climax. As for the other two male wreckers, their secret plots are never mentioned again after the first two minutes, except in the form of some tepid muttering when the captain makes a scene at a bar. The wrecker woman just nags the others a lot, and provides much of the film's nudity.
The two girls are rather vacant as characters. After some screaming during the initial attack, they never speak again. I suppose that's a legitimate way to depict trauma, but in the context of a story, having main characters that don't emote in any way makes it hard to connect. You can understand their mission on an intellectual level, but there's nothing to grasp onto emotionally.
The girls make their way to some old ruins that are feared by the locals for reasons no one quite remembers. There, they meet a female clown (a classic circus clown with a big red afro), who leads them inside. The girls then free Satan, who has been held prisoner in a dilapidated church, and have sex with him to gain his demonic powers, which seem to be limited to telekinetically nudging statues.
I've never seen a Jean Rollins film before, but from what I gather, this emphasis of style over substance is common, though this film in particular is credited for having a stronger storyline than usual. I guess it does have a storyline, but it's very, very basic. There's nothing flawed in its structure; but it has no detail, nuance, or originality..
The Demoniacs comes to Blu Ray from Redemption films. The video quality is okay. It looks like the source material has aged poorly, leaving the movie washed out and dull. I'm not sure it's significantly better than a good DVD transfer.
Extras include a deleted scene that consists of nothing but film of a ship burning, and two extra sex scenes; one an extension of a scene between the captain and the wrecker woman, and the other involving two recurring background characters.

HA NOI (VNS) — Chairman of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Rajendra Pachauri, promised to stand side by side with Viet Nam in mitigating the adverse effects of climate change at a meeting with Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in Ha Noi yesterday.
He underlined that if nothing is done about current emission levels, the sea level could rise by 98cm by 2100. Even a rise of half the predicted level would have severe consequences for many countries, including Viet Nam.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung told Pachauri that Viet Nam considers the response to climate change, rising sea level and natural disasters as crucial to achieving a path of sustainable development.
The country established a National Steering Committee on Climate Change to be led by the PM and an advisory council. The committee is tasked with updating the government on global reports and recommending coping measures over the short and long term.
Viet Nam will do its best to join efforts with the global community to cope with the changing climate, the PM said.
Besides making its own efforts, Viet Nam is keen to receive more effective assistance from the UN, foreign donors and scientists. Such assistance includes sharing studies, offering recommendations and funding relevant projects, the leader added.
He praised the effective support that the UN has already given to Viet Nam in many areas, including climate change response. — VNS

The Force Awakens! Or in this case, my ongoing battle with DITA-XML awakens! In the 1st and 2nd episodes of my controversial "Killing XML" trilogy, I explored the rising external forces of social media and mobile apps. But in this 3rd episode, with the rise of socio-mobile, I'll explore the rising internal forces of human voice and user delight, which are often choked by content cost and maintenance.
Recently, while catching up on old PDF issues of Intercom, the monthly magazine by STC, I found a February 2015 article that advocates this "delightful" approach for technical docs. In his article, Barry Grenon observes that technical writers "default to a formal style" that sounds robotic and encourages "remaining invisible". By focusing on cost and maintenance, writers fail to engage or delight users.
Hi, my name is Jay, and I'm an IBM TRIRIGA information developer at IBM. Let me ask you this. If you're anything like me, a seasoned technical writer with years of DITA-XML experience, how do you know if you've forgotten to "delight users"? Well, it's easier to see it if you're also a blogger. But if you're not, do you notice yourself stripping away your unique voice or personality from your content?
What do I mean by "your unique voice or personality"?
First, here's a little background. In 2011, when TRIRIGA was acquired by IBM, our small TRIRIGA information development (ID) team began the painful process of "blue-rinsing" our Microsoft Word user guides to resemble the IBM ID look. In 2012, we began the slower process of "blue-washing" and converting them from DOC to DITA-XML. To speed things, I trained to be a DITA-XML code reviewer.
Looking back, the process of "blue-washing", writing, training, and reviewing in DITA-XML — which conditioned me to "think more, write less" and adopt a minimal, translatable, reusable ID style — also "brainwashed" me to strip away my unique voice or personality from my content without much effort. But that's the goal, and that's the point. So the question is: Did I notice it, realize it, or care about it?
My answer is: Yes, by the end of 2013, I finally began to realize it — my lack of satisfaction and delight with our DITA-XML docs. Which gave birth to my first "Killing XML" blog post: "Killing XML and IA with social media". So let me ask again: Do you notice, realize, or care when your perfectly mass-produced content sounds inhuman or robotic? But this question is probably related to: Do you have a choice?
What happens if you do "have a choice" to delight users?
I was lucky. While we didn't "have a choice" from 2011 to 2014, I learned so much from my DITA-XML experience. I still appreciate that. But I was also lucky because my longtime extracurricular blogging kept my creative voice alive and kicking during this period. Without this blogging "shield" to protect me, I might not have realized this "brainwashed" loss of delight. Or I might've forgotten or ignored it.
Then something happened. In 2015, I was given the golden opportunity to create a brand new vision of documentation to introduce our brand new TRIRIGA UX Framework. In my previous post, I wrote:
How do we get customers to be excited about a new framework? From my high-level discussions with development managers, they wanted the docs to be "cool", "exciting", "consumable", and "accessible". So based on their words, I formulated a new vision of "cool, casual, and consumable" articles, written in the same conversational and colorful way as I'd write one of my own blog posts.
Thus, the TRIRIGA UX Articles were born! In terms of "cool", I ignored the old-school Knowledge Center and borrowed the big bold visual impact of WordPress blog posts. In terms of "casual", I sprinkled some rhetorical questions, metaphors, slang, and humor. In terms of "consumable", I split the mobile-friendly PDF content into more-digestible chunks for slightly-different audiences.
But by ignoring the Knowledge Center, did I ignore its DITA-XML too? Yes, definitely. Then what did I use? Naturally, I chose Microsoft Word DOC. Why not? Ever since my mobile PDF experiments from 2 years ago, it was the simplest choice for mobile-friendly PDFs. In fact, being away from DITA-XML for 12 full months was an eye-opening and liberating experience. Like my human voice was finally freed!
In other words, I went back to the basics. I chose the simplest most-convenient writing tool to design the most-visual and most-engaging reader experience. So without realizing it, I was following Barry Grenon's "delightful" approach for almost a year before I found his February article "Writer's Block". My casual style also echoed Barry's example: "Now be careful with this next part, it gets really tricky."
If I understand him correctly, Barry hopes that we as technical writers can unshackle ourselves from the robotic constraints of DITA-XML mechanics, internationalization, and other secondary cost and maintenance issues, and return our primary focus to writing and showing pictures as naturally and humanly as speaking to our next-door neighbors. After all, how do we put a price tag on delight?
Meanwhile, feel free to peruse Barry Grenon's article "Writer's Block", first published in the February 2015 issue of Intercom. For convenience, I also highlighted the lines that struck me the most. Enjoy!
What are my final thoughts?
You can't delight everyone. If creators of movies, novels, and games simply "played it safe" and tried to satisfy every culture, religion, and language with the lowest common denominator and without any unique adjustments for each group, they'd probably anger, annoy, or bore everyone. Doesn't this also apply to authors of technical docs? To delight our readers, we must decide where we can be natural.
We must also be aware that our audiences are evolving as well. In the September 2015 issue of Intercom, I was struck by an article that explores the technological expectations of the "Millennial" generation. In her article, Victoria Deen McCrady finds that Millennials "make decisions based on convenience" and are "defined by impatience". Aren't our audiences becoming more Millennial too?
Consider these findings from her article: (1) "[The Millennial] group freezes when they encounter text-heavy instructions or advanced options (radio buttons and dialog boxes)." (2) "Programs that look like social networking sites, with sleek design, obvious graphics and areas to click, make [Millennials] feel comfortable." So as technical writers, we must embrace delightful content today more than ever.
Like before, feel free to peruse Victoria's article "Millennials", first published in the September 2015 issue of Intercom. For convenience, I also highlighted the lines that caught my eye the most. Enjoy!

Cherry Hills Village CO Homes For Sale With Swimming Pools
Swimming pools in Colorado are kind of a rare thing. Most people don't want to deal with the winter maintenance of swimming pools and the mild season only gives us about 5 months to really enjoy the convenience of our own swimming pool.
There are many folks moving to Colorado every day and many of those new arrivals are coming from hot, dry climates where they come to rely on having their own swimming pool for summer enjoyment.
Many planned communities have community swimming pools, but there are very few homes that actually have their very own in-ground private swimming pool.
Searching through the City of Cherry Hills Village, there are 20 listings that have private swimming pools.
This home is located at 9 Cherry Hills Park Dr the Cherry Hills Park community and is listed for $8,700,000.
This home has been on the market since Jan 4th so it is hard to say whether or not this beautiful swimming pool is helping or hurting the sale of this gorgeous place. My guess is that this price point is attracting a smaller group of potential buyers which make the days on market much longer.

Final clarification tanks
The 15 secondary clarifiers look like small lakes and mark the last step of the cleaning process. In these huge tanks, each of them 64 metres in diameter, the wastewater is left to settle for a period of four hours. The clarifiers are among the largest in Europe and have a holding capacity of 13 million litres each. The 67-metre-long scraper bridges with their lightweight steel frame design weigh only 22 tonnes each. This reduces the wear and tear of the mechanical components and helps to cut energy consumption and operating costs.
The wastewater and the activated sludge from the aeration tanks of the second biological cleaning stage reach the secondary clarifiers via a central structure, in a non-turbulent, steady flow. The activated sludge settles to the tank bottom where scrapers push the sludge into a hopper underneath the central structure. The purified effluents are drained through submersible pipes to a collecting channel and from here flow to the outlet structure and into the Danube Canal.

This cool Model 9 bass has been commissioned by a new customer from Las Vegas named George. He wanted a bass that can handle several types of music such as Pop and Funk. He also wanted to get some growl out of the tones as in a low-mid bump so there is still some booty but also focus without muddy bottom. We selected woods and pickups to deliver that punchy tone he is looking for.
The neck is Wenge with a 33 inch scale, 24 fret, Ebony fret board. The peghead is laminated with some wood from the top used on the body so it matches nicely. We included a zero fret so his open notes blended well with the fretted notes.
The body is Honduran Mahogany with a beautiful semi-spalt Maple top. George selected the wood himself. The body is chambered to reduce weight but not so much that the slap tones lose anything. I was able to make a cavity cover to match the back wood.
The heart beat of this baby is the EMG 35p and 35J pickups wired with a two band BTS (bass and treble boost/ cut) EQ system. I was able to get many amazing tones out of this combination including Jazz, slap, and rock tones.
Her hardware is Hipshot B style bridge and Ultra-lite tuners with Dunlop straplocks.
I was surprised to find that this bass weighs 8.5 pounds as she does not feel that heavy but she does have the 1.75 thick body. She balances well and is a dream to play.
This bass is sold but I would love to make one for you.

FOSDEM MySQL and Friends Devroom 2012 Changes
As many of you know, the schedule had been set for FOSDEM. Giuseppe had posted the full scehdule here: http://datacharmer.blogspot.com/2012/01/mysql-and-friends-schedule-at-fosdem.html However, I refreshed the FOSDEM list (provided at fosdem.org) and noticed some changes to the schedule late last week. http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/track/mysql_and_friends_devroom Specifically, I noticed new talks by Oli Sennhauser ("New Features in MySQL 5.6"), Alexey Yurchenko ("Galera 2.0"), Steve Hardy ("Optimizing your innodb buffer pool usage"), Liz van Dijk ("Virtualized Databases"), and Stéphane Combaudon ("Practical indexing guidelines"). (And all of the previous folks (Ralf Gebhardt, Stéphane Varoqui, Ivan Zoratti, Sergey Petrunya, Vladimir Fedorkov, Giuseppe Maxia, Mark Riddoch, Kenny Gryp, and Frédéric Descamps) still have talks too.) So an already very impressive lineup has been improved even more! Kudos! 🙂

United States District Court, D. Hawaii
November 15, 2017
DE WITT LAMAR LONG, Plaintiff,v.SGT. A. MAKUA III, a Correctional Officer; KALEONAHE E. WOO, a Correctional Officer; B. ARAKAKI, a Correctional Officer; and DWAYNE K. HANEY, a Correctional Officer, Defendants.
Derrick K. Watson, United States District Judge
De Witt
Lamar Long alleges that several Adult Correctional Officers
("ACOs") violated his First Amendment rights to
practice his Muslim faith while incarcerated at Oahu
Community Correctional Center ("OCCC") by
refusing, on four occasions, to provide him with appropriate
meals during his observance of Ramadan. Defendant Andrew
Makua moves to dismiss as untimely the single count against
him in Long's Second Amended Complaint. Because
Long's claim against Makua accrued more than two years
prior to the filing of the Complaint and because the
continuing violation doctrine does not apply to the discrete
acts alleged against the ACOs, Makua's Motion to Dismiss
Count I is GRANTED. Long is permitted leave to file an
amended complaint consistent with the terms of this Order.
Plaintiff's Allegations [1]
As a
practicing Muslim, Long participates in the holy month of
Ramadan, during which time he is required to fast roughly
from sunrise to sunset each day. Second Amended Complaint
("SAC") ¶ 11. When he arrived at OCCC, Long
requested that his name be placed on a list of inmates who
observe Ramadan and on a list of inmates who cannot consume
pork. SAC ¶ 12. According to Long, to ensure his ability
to participate in Ramadan, each year he sent an inter-unit
request to the OCCC chaplain to confirm that his name was on
the appropriate Ramadan list. SAC ¶ 13.
alleges that ACOs Makua, Kaleonahe E. Woo, B. Arakaki, and
Dwayne K. Haney violated his First Amendment rights during
both the 2013 and 2014 Ramadan observances by refusing to
provide him with suitable meals during appropriate hours.
According to Long, each of the four counts in the SAC form
part of a pattern in which the four ACOs intentionally denied
him one of the two daily meals that he could eat while
observing Ramadan, resulting in Long going without food for
twenty-four hour stretches. Long alleges that in 2013, Makua
refused his request for an evening meal without pork, as
On July 15, 2013, during the month of Ramadan, Plaintiff was
provided with his dinner meal at approximately 7:00 p.m. The
meal contained pork, which Plaintiff could not eat because of
his religious beliefs. Plaintiff informed the correctional
officer on duty at the time, Sgt. Makua, that he could not
eat the meal provided because it contained pork. Sgt. Makua
laughed and told Plaintiff that he could take the pork out.
Plaintiff explained that taking out the pieces of pork would
not make a difference because the meal was cooked with pork
in it. Plaintiff asked Sgt. Makua to call the kitchen to
request a non-pork meal and explained that he was on the list
of prisoners that could not eat pork. Sgt. Makua refused, and
told Plaintiff that he either had to eat the meal with pork
that had been provided or he would not eat anything. Because
Plaintiff's religious beliefs bar him from eating pork,
Plaintiff had to wait until the next morning to eat, leaving
him without food for approximately twenty-four hours.
SAC ¶ 14. Long alleges no other conduct by Makua or any
other ACO during the 2013 Ramadan observance, the first year
he was incarcerated at OCCC.
alleges that, the next year, "a memorandum regarding
prisoner observance of Ramadan dated June 23, 2014 was
circulated within OCCC [stating that] all individuals
participating in Ramadan beginning on June 28, 2014 were to
be provided breakfast before sunrise, at 5:00 a.m., and
dinner after sunset, at 7:00 p.m." SAC ¶ 15. The
June 23, 2014 memorandum listed Long as a Ramadan
participant. SAC ¶ 15. On July 3, 2014, at approximately
5:15 a.m., Long knocked on his cell door and asked the
correctional officer on duty, ACO Woo, for his morning meal
because he had not yet received it. Woo, who had been
sleeping, told Long that he would receive his morning meal
when the next shift of correctional officers started at 6:30
a.m. SAC ¶ 16. Long explained to Woo that it would be
too late for him to eat at 6:30 a.m., and asked Woo to
consult the memorandum regarding prisoners participating in
Ramadan. According to Long, Woo then repeated that Plaintiff
would eat at 6:30 a.m. and went back to sleep. SAC ¶ 16.
Long then had to wait until after sunset to eat,
approximately twenty-four hours after he had last eaten, as a
result of Woo's refusal to make available a morning meal
before sunrise. SAC ¶ 17.
On July
5, 2014, Long was again denied his morning meal before
sunrise. At approximately 5:00 a.m., when he asked ACO
Arakaki, the officer on duty, for his morning meal, Arakaki
refused and stated, "with use of explicit language,
that nobody cared about Plaintiff's concerns and that
Plaintiff would be fed during the next shift." SAC
¶ 19. Although Long attempted to explain that he could
not eat that late because of his religious beliefs, Arakaki
made no effort to provide any morning meal, and as a result,
Long had to wait until after sunset to eat, approximately
twenty-four hours after he had last eaten. SAC ¶¶
same course of events again unfolded on July 9, 2014, when
Long was not provided his morning meal before sunrise. Around
5:00 a.m., Long requested his morning meal from ACO Haney,
the officer on duty, who refused, despite Long's
explanation that he needed to eat before sunrise to comply
with his religious beliefs. SAC ¶ 22. As a result of
Haney's refusal to provide the morning meal before
sunrise, Long, for the third time in a week, had to wait
until after sunset to eat, approximately twenty-four hours
after he had last eaten. SAC ¶ 23.
each of the missed morning meals in July 2014, Long submitted
informal grievances the same day he was denied that meal. SAC
¶¶ 18, 21, 24. After participating in informal
attempts at resolution, Long filed formal grievances. SAC
¶¶ 18, 21, 24. On July 10, 2014, the correctional
officer on duty, ACO Fonseca, told Long that he was being
transferred to the Federal Detention Center-Honolulu
("FDC-Honolulu"). Long told Fonseca that he did
not want to be transferred because he had pending grievances
that he wished to pursue at OCCC. SAC ¶ 25. After
placing a telephone call to intake, Fonseca instructed Long
that, if he refused the transfer to FDC-Honolulu, he would be
placed in administrative segregation. SAC ¶ 25. Long
acquiesced and was not allowed to take his personal property,
including his legal materials, with him. SAC ¶ 25. Once
he arrived at FDC-Honolulu, Long sent a request to a
grievance specialist at OCCC, asking for the grievances that
he had filed at OCCC to be forwarded to him at FDC-Honolulu,
but did not receive any response. SAC ¶ 26. He then sent
another request to a grievance specialist at OCCC, and was
told that his grievances regarding the denial of meals were
moot as a result of his transfer. SAC ¶ 27.

Question: Itcy skin rash in armpits now extending to neck region
|Youngfibre - Sat Oct 24, 2009 5:29 pm
Share |
I have had very itchy armpits that break into a rash for over two year, it itches so much i sometimes hurt myself scratching. I have seen different doctors over this time and being asked to - stop using deodorant sticks, stop shaving my armpits, try not to sweat take cold baths - and given skin creams on each occassion - Neobetasone, Antesane(?) skineal and hydrocortisone.
When i use a cream the rash goes away but 2 days after i complete a dose its back. i want to continue with the cream because it helps the itch even if it doesnt cure me but it seems to be wearing away my skin, i notice i now have visible stretch marks. I also see that the rash is extending to the sides of my breasts, my chest (under my colar bone) and my neck.
Please do you know what is wrong with me and have a solution?

Hello,The history and clinical features are suggestive of seborrheic dermatitis.This is caused by an internal diathesis which makes the skin susceptible to certain organisms like P.Ovale.The resultant is itching in the sebaceous areas like axilla,between the breasts,groin Etc and formation of rashes.This is recurrent and response to treatment with external application of steroids carry the risk of skin atrophy.Ketoconazole cremes have been used in therapy.A course of multivitamins do help.Best to avoid potent steroids.Antihistamine contrl itching.Do consult a dermtologist who can differentiate it from fungal infections and erythrasma which are look alikes.Best wishes.

If you need a tooth restored, you'll want something that perfectly matches your smile. Whenever you visit our Wellesley MA dental office to restore teeth, you can expect to receive the latest care and custom solutions.
Tocci Dental Associates is helping patients overcome their dental problems with elite restorative dentistry. You can benefit from our dental solutions if you have major smile flaws like chips or cracks, dental decay, or even missing teeth. Contact our office today at 781-304-8172 to schedule your first visit with us. Let's look at few ways you can benefit for our restorative solutions.
Blend in your smile with tooth-colored fillings
If you're 30 or older and have had fillings, you might have metal in your mouth. Until recently, the traditional way to restore tooth decay was with metal fillings. Some dentists still use these fillings on molars. While metal fillings are strong and can last years, the have some obvious issues. They stick out like a sore thumb and can expand and contract in the mouth.
Instead of metal, we're using composite materials to restore tooth decay. The tooth-colored fillings blend in with your smile and actually strengthen the teeth. Not only is the biting surface strong and restored, but people will never even know your tooth has been restored.
Restore teeth with durable, great crowns
Sometimes a simple filling doesn't cut it. For larger dental decay, big small problems like chips and cracks, or even protecting teeth after root canals, you'll likely need a dental crown. Our dental office has simplified the dental crown process. We no longer need two or three visits to place a simple dental crown — or ask you to wait on busy dental lab to create your restoration. Using CEREC same-day crowns, we can place your dental crown in about 90 minutes. The procedure is so fast because we use a special tooth scan and an in-house milling station. You can actually watch as the milling station creates your dental restorations.
Here are a few benefits of our same-day crowns:
- Digital impressions give us great-fitting crowns
- Made from one solid chunk of ceramic material
- Material will naturally blend in with your smile
- Fewer visits to the dentist
- No hassling with dental lab fees
Replace missing teeth with dental implants
If you're struggling with missing teeth, know that you have options other than going toothless or wearing uncomfortable dentures. At Tocci Dental Associates, you have access to dental implants! Our dental implants are placed directly into the bone and prevent further jawbone recession (jawbone recession occurs whenever the natural teeth are lost). We can use dental implants to replace a single missing tooth, large gaps in the smile, or to even stabilize dentures. Here are a few more benefits of dental implants:
- Nearly as strong as natural teeth
- Stabilize teeth, helping you eat and speak without difficulty
- Are placed with nearly a 98 percent success rate
- Can last a lifetime with proper care
As you can see, Tocci Dental Associates has a number of solutions to restore teeth and even replace teeth. Whatever your dental complications, we'd love to help. So give us a call today at 781-304-8172 to schedule your first visit with us.

Introduction: How to Remove Beer Labels the Easy Way (Home Brewers Tip)
As a home brewer I like to bottle my own beer. I don't like to mess with the 12 oz bottles as it takes to many for a 5 gallon batch. I really like the "22 oz" bombers it only takes about 26 for the same 5 gallon batch. One of my favorite local breweries (Shades of Pale, brewing company Park City, Utah) bottles with the bombers, so its a bonus for me. Good brew and a good bottle for my home brew Hobby. It can be a pain in the ass to get labels off. But I found an easy "no fuss" solution.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: The DE-labeling Process
Sadly now your wonderful beer is gone. But the good news is now you can fill it with one you have made.
step 1: Run your water facet on the hottest setting for about a min.
step 2: fill the bottle with about 5-6 oz of now really hot water.
Step 3: shake bottle for 10 seconds and pour out water and repeat step 2
Step 4: now the bottle should be heated thoroughly from the inside out (this is the key to getting it off easily)
Now just peel the label off. If the label is being stubborn, repeat the process it should come off. This way leaves no sticky residue from the label.

As a homebrewer, this is definitely one of the most tedious, and laborious tasks. I've tried this and found it will work with some labels, but not all of them. What I have found works well, uses far less water, doesn't require using hot water (saving energy) and is pretty effortless is this:
1. Rinse your bottles out as soon after you drink them as possible.
2. I keep a 5 gallon pail of water with a little oxy-clean in my garage (with all my brew equip). Drop your bottles in to soak. A lot of them fall off on their own, or peel easily, leaving a bit of glue residue behind.
3. Empty the bottles into the pail, then rinse with clean water.
4. Remove any glue residue with a blue scotchbrite scrubber, before the bottle dries.
5. Refresh the water and oxy-clean periodically.
I forgot to mention, I usually leave them overnight. That's typically plenty of time.
I would probably use a water boiler in order to save the tap water going down the drain for a minute, but I like the idea. I have two batches of mead to bottle soon, and this will make preparing the bottles much easier. Thanks for sharing!
that's a really good idea to heat the water in a pot. I de-label the bottle as soon as my beer is gone so I can rinse out the yeast cake if there's any left in the bottom of the bottle.
I'm going to be posting an Instructable on my all electric set up here pretty soon you might be interested in it.
