Scaffolding Hare Green Essex
Scaffolding Hare Green Essex: If you have some significant works being done on your house in Hare Green, like doing repointing, updating the windows, repairing the roof or having your chimney refurbished, there's a fairly good chance you're going to require some scaffolding, to make the site safe for both you and the tradesmen carrying out the project. If this is in fact the scenario, then you'll need to get hold of a reputable Hare Green scaffolder, to provide you with a quotation and get the required scaffolding put up correctly and safely.
What is Scaffolding?: A scaffold can be described as a temporary elevated framework, most often created out of steel fittings and tubes, that is put in place to provide a safe and sturdy surface for workmen carrying out their trade on buildings and houses in Hare Green. Scaffolding also helps in making buildings safer for the inhabitants and passers by, protecting them from falling dust and debris due to the works being carried out.
A scaffold is made from many different components which will likely include: ledgers, spade ends, midrails, sole boards, diagonal braces, base plates, standards, facade braces, toeboards, ladder clamps, scaffold boards, couplers, guard rails, sills, ladders, board clamps, right angle clamps, limpet clamps, putlogs and swivel clamps.
There are numerous different variations of scaffolding, each one having its special purpose, amongst the various kinds are patented scaffolding, single scaffolding, cantilever scaffolds, trestle scaffolding, confined space scaffolds, shoring scaffolds, double scaffolding (masons scaffolding), rolling scaffolds, suspended scaffolding, tube and fitting scaffolding and tower scaffolds. The more likely type that you would use on your house in Hare Green, is the single or bricklayer's scaffold.
If you need to get scaffolding in Hare Green, you have to find an experienced scaffolding contractor, who's advocated by the local council. If the scaffolding will encroach onto a road or public pathway you must get a permit from the local local authority or council and will have to make sure it's safe before it is used, check it diligently every seven days, and also safety check it after alterations, damage or windy weather. Such a scaffolding licence is going to be essential if you are erecting hoardings, access towers, staging, scaffolding, pedestrian barriers or if you are siting a skip or contractors plant. If the scaffolding needs to go on a highway it must be fitted with safety lighting, which will be supplied by your Hare Green scaffolders. Scaffolding in the United Kingdom has to conform to the European Standard, BS EN 12811-1, which specifies performance specifications and methods for the design of working and access scaffolds.
When you happen to be in search of scaffolders in Hare Green, you will likely be aware of a couple of firms in your locality. Scaffolders are well known for putting up massive, impactful advertising boards, situated conspicuously upon their scaffolds, which is of course a great marketing tactic which gets their company name known around the Hare Green, Essex locale. Knowing of these local scaffolding firms will provide you with a few choices to select from. You could also think about sending in a quote form to Bark.com, who will kindly get in touch with known local Hare Green scaffolders on your behalf, helping you save a bit of valuable time and effort. You will shortly have enough potential scaffolders to make an informed choice for your building project.

Methods & Strategies to Use "Now" Fishing the Smokies
Insects and other food the trout may be eating:
1. Blue-winged Olives
2. Blue Quills
3. Quill Gordons
4. Little Black Caddis
5. Winter Stoneflies
6. Midges
7. Streamers
We have added two more families of stoneflies to our "Flies You Need Now"
list. They will be showing up soon if not already - the Taeniopterygidae &
Nemouridae Families. These are technically all "Little Brown Stoneflies" but some of
them are closer to black in color than they are brown.
Little Black Caddis - Pupae:
I received a huge amount of email yesterday and last night asking questions about
what I wrote yesterday. They were mostly related to how to fish the Little Black
Caddis hatch. All of those questions should be answered in today's and tomorrow's
articles. If not, please write us again.
These early season caddisflies are the closest thing a caddisfly can get to a mayfly.
They hatch on the surface, mid-stream; they dry their wings on the water and fly to
the bank; they mate and the females return to the water and deposits her eggs by
dipping down and touching the water and sometimes landing on the water. You fish
the hatch much the same way you would fish most mayfly hatches.
The pupae usually hatch in water that is fairly smooth even though they live in the
moderate current in pocket water streams. They seek the slower moving, smoother
areas of the stream, such as the pockets behind rocks, to emerge. The current will
catch the emerging pupa and it usually ends up in a current seam. The trout eat
the pupae as they accent to the surface to hatch. They also eat them after they
have hatched and are still on the surface drying their wings before they fly off into
the banks, bushes and trees. They stay on the surface for a rather long distance.
Most of the time they reach the slower moving water at the end of the run or riffle
before they are able to fly away.
When they first start to hatch, usually during the warmest part of the day, we start
out fishing the pupa imitation. It is usually the most effective of the two flies,
especially if the water is cold (fifty degrees or less). The trout are more responsive
to the adults on the surface after the water has warmed up some.
We present the pupa imitation using an up and across presentation. Fishing in this
manner allows you to get much closer to the trout. Place the fly in the current
seams where the fast water meets the slow water. We usually add a tiny bit of
weight about eight inches above the fly. Start mending your line when the fly hits
the water to help get it down. Allow the fly to swing all the way around to a down and
across position. You want to imitate the pupa swimming to the surface to hatch. You
do that by simply stopping the rod at about the 2:00 o'clock position near the end of
the drift and allowing the fly to rise back up to the surface. The current will bring the
fly back to the surface for you. The trout usually take the fly near or just when it
reaches the surface.

One of them even asked to suspend the plan until the judge made his decision. In January the judge will reveal when the case is handled and if the question of suspension is valid enough to wait until he makes his rule.
What this means is that the park as of now isn't allowed to expand its borders. If the judge decides that the question of suspension doesn't have a valid enough reason they are allowed to expand, however the judge can still chance the agreement the park has with the local government and things can get complicated.
The judge also has to handle the case within 12 months and then has a maximum of 6 weeks before the final rule is said and done.
(I've been told that) After the rule the judgment is final, there is no need for further alterations or no further complications.
I thought this lat major hurdle was worth sharing. If I can I will try to update when there is more news.

One of the greatest enemies of farmers is the increase of weeds amongst their crops. To help fight the infestation of this unwanted vegetation, a lot of time is spent in the preparation of the soil before seeds can be planted. Things have changed over the years and new planting methods have been introduced but still the best soil preparation is done by way of tilling the soil, breaking up the clumps with a disc and dragging the ground to gather rocks and provide a smooth surface for planting.
Tilling the soil is important to eliminate the deep roots of unwanted weeds. The weeds steal all the nutrients from their surroundings and are not a nutritional source for the farmer to feed their animals. However, tilling the soil leaves deep furrows which would not allow a bountiful harvest, so the farmer orders the ground with a disc and harrow to break up large clumps of dirt and eliminate the deep furrows left behind by the plow. And then if necessary, a drag can be pulled over the dirt smoothing out any low spots and catching the surface rocks.
Not all of the farm land is tilled. Some acreage is set aside for pastor and hay. Many times in my youth I was sent out into the pastor and hay fields with a sickle to engage in hand to hand combat with the deep rooted tall weeds called thistles. Since these fields were never plowed, the weedy thistles developed deep roots and became more frequent and multiplied like rabbits in the fence row.
Now my Uncle Bob had another method for eliminating thistles. He would go out to his field with a shovel and a feed sack. Instead of just cutting off the weed at the surface with a sickle, he would dig deep into the soil and pry the root out of the ground eliminating its reoccurrence in the next season. Uncle Bob would place the thistle and its root in the sack and when the sack was full; he placed the sack full of thistles in the burn can and eliminated their very existence by the consumption of the burning fire! "Every tree which produceth not good fruit is cut off and cast into the fire." [Mt. 7:19]
As Christians we must be "good ground" (Lk.8:8) by preparing the soil of our heart with the labor of repentance. Confession of our sins is much needed in eliminating the spread of our sinful thistle seed, but it will take the work of true repentance to thrust sins deep roots from our rich passionate flesh. We need to nourish our seed of love by feeding our hearts with prayer, focusing our mind on God with spiritual reading and the words from our gospel. We want to attend church services regularly as a watchful farmer protecting our crop. We should continue to focus on improving our relationship with God and not allowing the world's glitter to distract us. And with God's grace falling down like rain on our dry seed and the warmth of the love from His Son, His harvest will be healthy within us.

Next generation wireless LAN capabilities
This tip covers an exciting new development in wireless technology -- location services.
Wireless LAN technology continues to evolve, expand and grow at a phenomenal rate. The reason behind this is that WLAN technology makes sense. As more and more organizations adopt wireless technology, the demand for new and enhanced services grows. This generates research and development which then leads to new products and new capabilities.
In this tip we're going to cover an exciting new development in wireless technology called location services. Location services refer to the ability to track people or objects utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). An RFID solution is one in which RFID tags are placed on items that emits radio frequencies that can be located and tracked via a location system. RFID location systems have been in place for quite a while but are just now gaining traction within the industry as the technology evolves and companies find real world use for the technology.
There are several key drivers that are creating a demand for this technology. First and foremost is the proliferation of wireless LAN solutions in many vertical markets. Second, is the widespread adoption of wireless technology in the health care arena. Many hospitals are driving the demand for RFID. RFID solutions have been around for quite some time, but mainly in the manufacturing world, where assets are tracked from an inventory control perspective. Hospital environments are a unique in that there are a lot of moving assets and people. Hospitals are a perfect environment for location services via RFID because they exhibit the following characteristics:
- Many moving assets (wheelchairs, IV poles, room to room equipment, etc.)
- Theft and misplacing of said assets
- Large campuses
- Reliance on location of said assets
- Inefficient mechanisms for tracking said assets
- Patients moving all over the hospital, required assets
These factors make the hospital environments a key driver for location services as the technology makes it feasible to track and locate these assets and resources via the RFID tags worn or attached to devices.
There are many vendors that tout support for RFID location service solutions in piece or part, but I want to discuss Cisco's newest release, the 2700 series wireless location appliance. This product was released in July of this year (2005) as a complement to Cisco's wireless portfolio that has just been re-introduced with the AireSpace technology. The key advantage to Cisco's solution is that it is integrated into the WLAN environment. To date most location service solutions required a separate infrastructure focused solely on RFID tag location and tracking. Several vendors had touted the ability to integrated RFID location, but the solutions were based on 802.11b technology which is rapidly being replaced with 802.11 a/g. The integration of the location services into the existing infrastructure with the thin client Cisco AP's makes this a truly scalable and viable technology. Future advancements will push the RFID tracking capabilities out onto Cisco modular routers and switches. This will allow location and tracking of devices and assets outside of a WLAN installation.
This technology is very cheap and quite easy to implement within the current Cisco framework of WLAN product sets. It will only get better as it evolves. For more information on Cisco's 2700 series platform go to: https://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2005/prod_050405.html.

There's art that's great, and then there's art that's great for Instagram. While the two aren't mutually exclusive, most of our site is devoted to the former this weekend. This article is a safe space for the latter. These thirteen pieces are the like-rockets that have been showing up over and over on the art world's Instagram feed. If you're in Miami this weekend, make sure to pay these artworks an IRL visit to cash in on likes and FOMO re-grams from your friends and frienemies back home.
Most of the Instagram winners are, unsurprisingly, sculptures and interactive installations. The undisputed champ is Ugo Rondinone's Miami Mountain presented by The Bass Museum. It's a travel-sized (albeit 42-foot-tall) version of his monumental Las Vegas sculpture Seven Magic Mountains. The runner up is easily Damien Hirst's Gone But Not Forgotten at the Faena Hotel, a gold-plated mammoth encased in one of the prolific British artist's iconic glass boxes. One sculpture by Saya Woolfalk, an ornate pyramid-shaped throne that lights up hot pink at night, is clearly designed to be a selfie op. These three examples have an Instagram advantage, since they're open to the public and have much higher visibility than artwork trapped inside the multitude of art fairs in Miami this weekend.
The main attractions within the fairs are pieces that stand out amongst gallerists hawking their most profitable wares. Political statements such as Sam Durant's blaring red lightbox demanding, "END WHITE SUPREMACY," are appealing amidst the biggest art world bacchanal since November's election. Otherwise, vibrant works with inherent selfie-friendliness jump out amidst the sea of fine art. Below is your Miami itinerary, detailing the fairs' best eye-popping imagery and where to find them.
Ugo Rondinone, Miami Mountain, Corner of 21st Street and Collins Avenue
Damien Hirst, Gone But Not Forgotten, The Faena Hotel
Sam Durant, End White Supremacy, Blum and Poe's Art Basel Booth

Their Kickstarter.com campaign has already raised over $85,000 (Gbp50,000) towards its $95,000 (Gbp56,000) goal, and Ponty and Anderson are now planning a major concert, featuring new material, reworked Yes tunes and classic Ponty tracks, at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado, which will be filmed for the Dvd release.
Anderson tells UltimateClassicRock.com, "We're putting the show together to go to Aspen, rehearse and do a couple shows there, and then take the show on the road next year. The plan is coming together."

They accuse me of theft in an attempt to protect their staff.
Gerard a pisshead who drinks at work in m&s at Kew, called me an asshole in front of a manager, m&s then accused me of theft of alcohol and refused to call the police.

They accuse me of theft in an attempt to protect their staff.
Supermarket chain Sainsbury's is to stop running its Brand Match scheme, which gives money back when branded goods are cheaper at rival Asda.
Sainsbury's, which has been running the promotion since 2011, will end it in three weeks' time.
It says it will use the money saved to cut prices on basics.
Increasingly shoppers buy little and often, which means fewer baskets contain the 10 items needed to qualify for Brand Match.
Earlier on Thursday, the Co-op credited the "little and often" method for its growing sales. The Co-op has 2,800 stores, more than double that of Sainsbury's.
This is the second change in promotional strategy from Sainsbury's this year.
Earlier this year, it announced it would stop multi-buy deals, saying customers found these caused "logistical challenges at home in terms of storage and waste".
Sainsbury's is following a trend among its rivals, who are all facing fierce competition from the fast-growing discounters, Aldi and Lidl.
Morrisons last year stopped the price-matching element of its loyalty card scheme and Asda has made changes to its scheme.
Research also shows that a plethora of special offers and promotions leave shoppers confused.
Amazon slammed for selling t-shirts for children that say 'I don't speak stupid b****' – Mirror Online
Online retail giant Amazon is selling a t-shirt for children that carries the slogan, 'I don't speak stupid b****'.
The controversial t-shirt has sparked complaints from concerned parents who argue the clothing is inappropriate and offensive.
One shocked reader told the Mirror Online: "I'm not surprised by much any more, but my jaw really hit the floor when I came upon this boys' T shirt advertised on Amazon .
"It's available in sizes to fit kids from around toddler to pre-teen. The makers describe the product as 'gender neutral', but somehow I don't think so!"
A reviewer on Amazon blasted the t-shirt in a sarcastic post saying: "Over the moon with this stylish and inspiring T shirt for my little boy.

Arbuckle Wildlife Management Area
Managed in cooperation with
Florida Forest Service
Arbuckle WMA consists of 13,530 acres east of Avon Park in Polk County 5 miles south of Frostproof. Part of the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest, this area was purchased to protect numerous rare and endangered plants and animals. Arbuckle occupies a high ridge of ancient sand dunes and contains fast disappearing pine and oak scrub, home to Florida scrub-jays and gopher tortoises. Other natural communities include pine flatwoods, sandhill, and bottomland hardwoods along streams and creeks. Lake Arbuckle, where fishing and canoeing may be enjoyed year round, adjoins the area. The area offers very good deer hunting. On the area is a .8-mile nature trail as well as a segment of the Florida Trail. Horseback riding is allowed on firebreaks, named or numbered roads or designated horse trails. Horses are prohibited on hiking trails and during established hunting seasons. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law. All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. Arbuckle WMA is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Florida scrub-jays inhabit the oak scrub along the road into the area. Short-tailed hawks may be observed on the Paula Dockery Trail, and at Lake Arbuckle are wading birds, bald eagles, limpkins, and ospreys. Camping is permitted at the designated campground off Rucks Dairy Road, and at designated campsites along the Florida Trail and at other sites by Special-Use Permit. The Florida Forest Service regulates camping. There is a daily use fee and a camping fee is required per campsite. For information, call the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest at (863) 635-7801.

There are a couple of things to consider before you buy your pieces. The below article contains excellent ideas on how to attain incredible furniture you want and the price you desire.
Furniture is something that can be a bite out of your wallet. That means used furniture might be a better solution. You can find high-quality, yard sales and thrift stores. You can have the furniture reupholstered if need be. You will save a lot of money by following this way.
You should test the furniture you want to buy. You might want to get a couch over the Internet, but if you haven't sat on it, you may be disappointed in it when it arrives. You may not to your liking.It's smart to buy when you know you love it.
Don't think you buy furniture. Most furniture stores have a huge markup on their furniture up by approximately twenty percent. If you dislike haggling, bring along someone who can.
If you're furnishing your home office, buy pieces that can be used for multiple things.An example would be an armoire makes the perfect piece of furniture in which can be used to house a wireless printer and supplies.
When you are looking to purchase furniture, check out the clearance section first. Many retailers have sizable portions of their store space that are just for displaying clearance pieces. You can find some great deals and overstocked items for much less in retail clearance departments.
Make sure that the spot in which you intend to place new furniture.Whether you purchase a bed, table or bed, the amount of space should be measured to make sure it fits your needs. Guessing can turn out badly.
Bring in color samples from your walls when considering furniture. You might adore a given item, but once it is in your house, you may notice that it doesn't go with anything.
Inspect the legs of furniture prior to making your purchase. The chairs legs should be sturdy and secured to the frame. Legs made of plastic may break, while metal one will scratch floors, and they may damage your flooring.
Make sure the piece is comfortable if you are buying is comfortable. You generally spend a third of life in a bed and many hours on a couch, so make sure you buy something that you can recline on for a long time comfortably.
Figure out when it's the best to purchase particular furniture.Just like the recommendation for purchasing a new car in September, different industry events dictate that different furniture pieces are best bought at certain times. Figure out what times are so you're able to get a great deal.
You might accidentally throw out on great furniture circulars. These deals tend to be placed in newspapers or inside junk mail.
Check out your consignment stores when you want to spend less on quality furniture. You will most likely to find quality furniture at reduced prices.
If green is your thing, there are a number of options to consider. But watch out there who will mislead you into thinking you're getting something that is good for false claims when it comes to this area. You can always ask if the piece is Oeko Tek certified or FSC certified. This helps you quickly decipher whether or not such furniture is actually environmentally friendly.
Examine the workmanship on all pieces to make sure it is crafted properly. Are the buttons sewn on? Is the trim perfectly lined up perfectly?If these features are missing, the pieces should be avoided and is not of the highest quality.
Take measurements of a area in the room before you buy any furniture home. Once the furniture is delivered to your home, your hands may be tied. Measure first to save yourself the area prior to buying anything so it's not a hassle.
Furniture items that require assembly can often help you are looking to save costs. If you are not able to assemble it yourself, ask a loved one to help you.
Consider hunting for furniture at wholesalers, liquidators, or discount stores. You will get a much broader choice of styles and price range by shopping multiple stores.
Check all the drawers before buying furniture. Be sure to pull all the drawers out and then shut them back up. Open and close all the cabinets to test them out. Make sure that nothing sticks or is loose. Check that all drawers to see if they stay open without trying to fall out. It is important for you to check the functionality of your furniture will be functional.
You do not have to match the styles of all your current pieces. You should look for furniture styles that compliment your current personal tastes.
While you may find a few lemons, you can find some great pieces as well. You simply have to make sure that you look over them carefully for any major flaws. Be sure to look under cushions and close and open the doors.Sit on couches and if you like it.
This will give your furniture protection against food stains and other accidents stay off the actual couch. These are easily be washed if they get dirty. It is easy to source covers that are a perfect match for your living room.
Take what you have learned here to make your furniture shopping fun and easy, once you have settled on a style and a budget There are many important factors to consider as you look for furniture. Apply the tips in this piece to guarantee that you make smart choices.

Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one, and those commoner natures who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled to stand aside, cities will never have rest from their evils, - no, nor the human race, as I believe, - and then only will this our State have a possibility of life and behold the light of day.' Republic, Book V, 473D
With these words Plato expressed his ideal form of government. Often dismissed as unrealisable, they have appealed down the ages to men of goodwill. Having trans-lated all of the Dialogues from Greek into Latin, at the request of his Medici patrons, Ficino was asked to prepare summaries by Lorenzo de' Medici, the de facto ruler of the republic of Florence, who aspired to be the kind of enlightened ruler Plato described.
Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) was one of the most influential thinkers of the Renaissance. He put before society a new ideal of human nature, emphasising its divine potential. As head of the Platonic Academy in Florence, and as teacher and guide to a remark-able circle of men, he made a vital contribution to the changes that were taking place in European thought.
With the collapse of the global economy calling the wisdom of our political leaders into question, When Philosophers Rule is a timely reminder of those principles which have formed the basis of good government and inspired statesmen down the ages.
When complete, this four-volume series, including Gardens of Philosophy, 2006, Evermore Shall Be So 2007 and All Things Natural in 2010, will contain all Ficino's commentaries not previously translated into English.
As Carol Kaske of Cornell University wrote when reviewing Gardens of Philosophy in Renaissance Quarterly, these translations fill 'a need. Even those Anglophone scholars who know Latin still need a translation in order to read quickly through a large body of material'
Arthur Farndell is one of the world's leading translators of Renaissance philosophy, having worked for many years on the translations of The Letters of Marsilio Ficino, eight volumes of which have been published by Shepheard-Walwyn to date.

We are so excited for the color and vibrance of the spring and summer weddings to come. Here is one summer wedding from this past year that took our breath away…
Meera and Nick held their beautiful wedding at CrossKeys Vineyards. Meera and her bridesmaids wore Saris as well as the traditional Mehndi on their hands and carried colorful bouquets by Rick's Flowers.
The couple followed Indian traditions and wore flower garlands, a symbol of union, during their ceremony. Their wedding colors—pink, green and orange—were brightly incorporated into their celebration. From the rose petal lined aisle to the wedding arbor, lush with greenery and florals, it was a sight of beauty and love.
Their stunning 4-tier Peacock Henna wedding cake was designed by Passion Flower Cakes and admired throughout the evening.
Their colorful wedding was a true celebration of two cultures. Nick and Meera chose different ways to incorporate his Greek heritage and her Indian heritage into the food, traditions and decor, bringing together two diverse families to celebrate love and the start of Nick and Meera's new journey as a married couple.

FDA To Focus On Drug Review Process As Shutdown Forces Agency To Make Tough Prioritization Decisions
Drugs to treat epilepsy, triple-negative breast cancer and spinal muscular atrophy are just a few of the medications slated for review over the next several months. But there's only so much time that FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb can buy with dwindling funds. Meanwhile, a furloughed worker who had to start rationing her insulin puts a face to the troubles thousands of people are facing as the shutdown drags on.
The Washington Post:
FDA Directs Dwindling Resources Toward Reviewing New Drugs
The Food and Drug Administration plans to furlough more people and suspend lower-priority tasks to preserve money for drug reviews, including for new treatments for depression, diabetes and several types of cancer. With money for drug reviews rapidly diminishing as the government shutdown drags into its fourth week, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in an interview Thursday that he plans to curtail "discretionary activities" and call for additional furloughs in areas in which workloads have been reduced due to the shutdown. (McGinley, 1/17)
This Diabetic Federal Worker Rationed Her Insulin During The Shutdown Because Debt Was Scarier Than Dying
A furloughed federal worker who is diabetic said she resorted to rationing her insulin medication because "the thought of having more debt was scarier than the thought of dying" in her sleep. "I thought, no end in sight for the shutdown. I can't afford an ambulance bill. I can't afford to go to the emergency room right now, because I know there's more bills coming our way," Mallory Lorge explained on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." (Barrett, 1/17)

The Associated Press:
Trump Administration Proposes Higher 'Obamacare' Premiums
The Trump administration on Thursday announced proposed rule changes that would lead to a modest premium increase next year under the Affordable Care Act, potentially handing Democrats a new presidential-year health care issue. The roughly 1 percent increase could feed into the Democratic argument that the Trump administration is trying to "sabotage" coverage for millions. The administration said the proposal is intended to improve the accuracy of a complex formula that affects what consumers pay for their premiums. (1/17)
Senate Measure Banning Abortion Funds Defeated
Senate Republicans on Thursday failed to muster the 60 votes needed to approve a permanent ban on federal funding of abortion, a largely symbolic effort timed to coincide with the country's largest annual anti-abortion demonstration in Washington this week. The Senate vote was the first on an anti-abortion measure since Republicans narrowly expanded their majority in the chamber in the 2018 midterms, and it marked a sharp contrast with House Democrats' plans to loosen restrictions on taxpayer support for the procedure. (Ollstein, 1/17)
The Hill:
Abortion Foes March Into Divided Washington
The country's largest annual march against abortion comes to Washington on Friday, and this year there's a new sense of urgency and frustration from a voting bloc that helped put President Trump in the White House. With virtually no chance of moving abortion restrictions through a divided Congress, anti-abortion activists are re-applying pressure on the Trump administration to take executive action ahead of the 2020 elections. (Hellmann, 1/18)
The Washington Post:
VA IG Report Says Shulkin Violated Ethics Rules, Executive Protection Division Compromised Security
Members of the security detail tasked with protecting senior leaders at the Department of Veterans Affairs followed questionable procedures that put officials' safety at risk, abused rules governing overtime pay, and acted as chauffeur for former Secretary David Shulkin's wife, according to a new investigation. The alleged failures, documented by VA Inspector General Michael Missal in a report released Thursday, detail missteps that went on for years and came to a head under Shulkin. The investigation was commissioned after "various complaints" alleged broadly that VA's protection division was being grossly mismanaged, the report says. (Mettler and Rein, 1/17)

Has this topic been discussed before regarding not quite accurate parts of sports logos/uniforms/stadiums in movies or tv shows? In the 1988 film "Naked Gun", there's a memorable funny scene where the main character, Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) disguises himself as an umpire during a game between the Angels and the Mariners. While the Mariners uniforms were accurate, the Angels were wearing red helmets instead of navy ones like they did in real life. The movie did get the navy caps (and the rest of the uniforms) correct however. https://briansgifs.tumblr.com/post/74542897964/the-way-baseball-should-be-played These are stadium-related inaccurate scenes rather than logo-related: - The Angels/Mariners games in the aforementioned Naked Gun movie is filmed in Dodger Stadium rather than the Angels' home park (Angel Stadium in Anaheim) - In Major League (1989), the movie was filmed at County Stadium in Milwaukee rather than Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. The 1994 sequel is filmed at Baltimore's Camden Yards. The uniforms in both films are accurate based on the 1988 and 1993 seasons respectively. However, In Major League 2's movie cover, actor Corbin Bernsen is wearing a red undershirt with his uniform instead of navy as seen with Charlie Sheen. The Indians always wore navy socks/undershirts with those uniforms and never wore red in real life. - In one scene in Rookie of the Year (1993), the Cubs are on a road trip playing the Dodgers. The teams are clearly playing at New Comiskey Park (the White Sox ballpark) rather than Dodger Stadium. However, the uniforms throughout the movie are accurate (based on the 1992 season) - In Angels in the Outfield (1994), the movie was filmed at Oakland Coliseum (The A's ballpark, pre-Mount Davis) rather than Angel Stadium in Anaheim. The uniforms throughout the movie are accurate (based on the 1993 season) Here are some basketball ones: There were made-for-TV movies about Michael Jordan (MJ: an American Hero in 1999) and Dennis Rodman (Bad as I Wanna Be in 1998) in the late 1990s. Due to not getting rights to use NBA licenses (logos, uniforms, etc), the actors had to wear generic-looking uniforms in both films. The Jordan movie is on YouTube. Go to 1:13:16 to see the Bulls uniforms in the movie. However, the Rodman movie is not. Here's the ABC promo (plus a small clip of the Spurs "logo" at 0:08) Anyone else know any other sports logo/stadium inaccuracies in TV Shows or Movies? Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Soccer, etc.

The field designs of the OIL (42 fantasy football stadiums)
bootscallahan posted a topic in ConceptsI'm the commissioner of the OklahomIraqis League (The OIL), which is a fantasy football league that began in 2006 in Iraq. I recently started toying around in Photoshop and created stadiums for all 42 teams: okiraqi.org/stadiums Since I'm still pretty new to Photoshop (and graphic design in general), I'd appreciate it if you point out ways I could make things look more realistic. One thing I haven't been able to get right is keeping the grass or turf texture when applying graphics to the field and end zones. Otherwise, I'm just happy to show off the stadiums while we get through the long, awful offseason. Below is the one for DominationStation (which, yes, is a dumb name, but it's not my team).

Stadiums that should be renovated

This is something I've wanted to do for a while. I like the "create-a-team" or "Team Builder" feature in sports games and for years, (seriously, ever since the Nintendo 64 days) I've always wanted to go deeper into the customization of the teams. Even though they've come a long way, it's still pretty limited. So, in an effort to send out my ideas that I've had ever since I was a kid, I'm starting a "Create-a-_______" series for this forum. Starting with: Now before any of you get too excited, there is no official word on NCAA Football coming back this year. I HOPE it does, but it's still just a rumor at this point. This game features "TeamBuilder", and with all the logo/branding junkies here, I know several of you are glad that it exists but feels that it could be a bit better than what it is. I could go on about the uniforms, but I'll get to those later. What I really want to focus on for this thread is the stadium creation part of Team Builder, which is lacking. And by lacking, I mean all you're really doing is designing the field (also limited) and picking from a preset design. That would be fine, but if you're like me, that ain't good enough. During the week, I'll get into more detail, maybe even designing menu screens to let you fully see what my vision is for a "StadiumBuilder" feature. I'll also post real-world examples with each category. Stay tuned, folks.
North American Baseball Association
DarkKnight posted a topic in ConceptsSo I previously did a concept called "stadium series" and decided I wanted to make a league out of it. So without further ado, I present the North American Baseball Association (NABA). First team up, the San Antonio Rebels. I really love the way this turned out! The stadium is called HEB Park. The backdrop of the field is a little shopping area with a strip mall, HEB, mall, and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. Behind home plate there is a commercial district with an arena, office building, and parking garage. View from the entrance behind home plate. here you can see the backdrop, and also the tall wall in left field, which is 35' high, because the park is only 290' to left. The wall also doubles as the visitors clubhouse, the team offices, as well as the rooftop deck which fans can sit/stand on during the games. As said above, here is the view from the rooftop deck. Not much else to be seen here. Here is the view from the top step of the Rebels dugout down the first base line, where you can see the old school scoreboard on the left field wall, as well as the Alamo shaped scoreboard on top of the roof. Here is the view from the visitors dugout, and you can see down the 310' right field line. Also note the Alamo replica building which is the Rebels clubhouse. The clubhouse is several levels, with the training rooms, batting cages, and extra amenities underground. Here's a view from the Rebels clubhouse, where you can see the home plate and third base line entrances, as well as the club level, which has 17 suites, the press box, and the club level bleachers. Here is the view from behind home plate, most of what is to be seen has already been noted, so I won't touch on it anymore. Ariel view of HEB Park. Parking lot in right field, with the main entrance in the right field corner.
Stadium Series
DarkKnight posted a topic in ConceptsHello all, I am a high school student that likes to design sports stadiums, mainly baseball. I will begin to post my work in this thread, and I might throw in some logos every now and then on top of the stadiums. With that being said, here is my progress on my first stadium. I would like some help in naming the team, color scheme, and naming the stadium. That way, I can create a logo and add some unique elements into the stadium. I will continue to update my progress, and this stadium shouldn't take to long to finish.
Horribly named Sports Stadiums & Arenas
Josh.0 posted a topic in Sports In GeneralSo while browsing the interwebs this morning I discovered the news that the US Airways Center in Phoenix has been renamed the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Ugh. That got me thinking ... what are some HORRIBLE names you've come across for stadiums and arenas. I'm talking mainly here in the US and Canada. But, the big leagues, minor leagues, etc. Ones that stand out as DUMB off the top of my head are ... Talking Stick Resort Arena; PhoenixEnergySolutions Arena; Salt Lake CitySAP Center at San JoseO.co Coliseum; OaklandGlobe Life Park at ArlingtonMinute Maid Park; HoustonUniversity of Phoenix Stadium; GlendaleEverBank Field; JacksonvilleBefore the name change Jobing.com Arena was just as horrid as some of these. What else would you add to this list?
So driving back and forth to work, I pass by the Knoxville Civic Auditorium, home of the Minor League Hockey Knoxville Ice Bears. This building is U-G-L-Y ugly. It was built in 1961 and looked out of date as soon as 1967. It's concrete monstrosity that the picture I am about to show does not do justice too. The building is not that bad from a structural design standpoint what makes it ugly is the awful patterned concrete on the exterior that has not aged well (both physically, and visually). While that photo really doesn't do the tackyness justice, this Street View probably will What in your guys opinion is the ugliest stadium?

Arena / Stadium Logos from the 70's
ForwardProgress posted a topic in Sports Logo NewsHi guys! I love logos from the 70's and I thought a great way to see sports-related 70's logos I have never seen would be to create a thread dedicated to arena and stadium logos that were created in the 70's. I have some examples below and everyone is more than welcome to submit their favorites. 1) The Hartford Civic Center actually had TWO logos in the 70's: one that looked eerily similar to the Caldor's department store rainbow, and one that was a ligature of an H and two C's. 2) Here is what the Nassau Coliseum logo looked like in the 70's (I like how it looks like a bird's eye view of a circular stadium with a track and playing surface in the center):
Post Jackie Robinson's 42 from Around the Majors
Soma posted a topic in Sports Logo NewsI've always been intruiged with how teams display retired numbers in different fashion. The league-wide retirement of #42 allows you to compare each teams' numbers fairly easily. As a Mets fan, I hate the way they do it. But why does the number matter when they dedicated the entrance of the ballpark to a guy who didn't ever play for the team? The Mets decision making process in regards to which numbers they choose to retire has always been a joke (no Piazza), so why would they do a good job with 42? Also they've put a new seating area in front of the numbers that totally obscure them. But I digress ... Moving on, how does your team immortalize Jackie Robinson's 42. Post pictures of 42 so we can see them all in one post.

Water: The critical elements for getting it right.
May 7, 2018 By Billy
Dear Friend,
* Take ten minutes for yourself to read the essentials for getting it right with the water you're drinking since it's vitally important for your health. And if you find this useful, then please send it to a friend.
This topic is thought to be an easy one and taken for granted which is why it never gets the attention it deserves. But the fact is, water is one of the pillars of life. Without water, we sure wouldn't last very long. And because it's what we put the most of into our bodies, it warrants some serious consideration. After all, our bodies are seventy-percent water! Water that is clean and pure is vital for so many things, some of the most notable being the proper functioning of our organs, a strong immune system, maintaining energy and vitality, mental clarity, and yes, even longevity. Thankfully, getting this right isn't hard! But there are a few key factors.
The Problem with Water Today
Unfortunately, pure water is not all that easy to come by. Most water available today (tap and bottled) is far from pure and is not the same water we were drinking a hundred years ago (or even ten years ago, for that matter). Much of it is contaminated with chlorine, fluoride, lead, mercury, pesticides, and bacteria (to mention just a few). In urbanized areas where recycled water is used, testing reveals even trace amounts of pharmaceuticals due to them passing through the user's body. Yikes! Impure water might well be why we get sick more than we think we should, or develop allergies due to a weak immune system, or often feel just 'okay' instead of energized and really alive.
So where can you find the cleanest, purest water? It may be no surprise that it turns out that fresh spring water, assuming it's free of contaminants, is the best water. Well water is a close second to fresh spring water, again purity being the determining factor.
Filtering is a Start
The problem, however, is that we don't all have access to a fresh, pure spring or a well. So what to do? Well, an inexpensive first step would be a filter. A simple carbon filtration system will remove large sediment and chlorine. These carbon filters are the filters that attach to your faucet or come inside the common pitchers. You might want to consider a carbon filter even if you have well water. Well water can sometimes be a little over-mineralized, creating a kind of metallic taste. A carbon filter should take care of that.
You can go a step further and get a whole house carbon filtration system where all of your water is filtered before it runs through any of the faucets in your home. Any plumber can install one for you.
However, where recycled water is used in more populated areas, carbon filtration is definitely not adequate for the healthy lifestyle we're going for. Sure these systems can take out sediment and chlorine (chlorine is a large molecule which a carbon filter has no problem trapping), but they are inadequate for filtering out most of the other contaminants. This is very important. The filtration of both the commonly used pitchers and refrigerators is nowhere close to sufficient. The only ways to thoroughly filter your water are with a reverse-osmosis filter or a distiller.
A reverse-osmosis filter works by squeezing the water through a pressurized filter membrane. The pores in the membrane are the size of a water molecule, allowing virtually only pure water molecules to pass through. The filters typically need to be changed once a year; otherwise, the system doesn't really require any maintenance. These, too, are units that any plumber can install for you under your kitchen sink, and they're generally no more than a few hundred bucks. Or you can rent one for the sake of maintenance that is typically included.
The distiller option works by having the water steamed and then pressed through a filter. These are more expensive than reverse-osmosis systems, but the filtration is a little better, too. Both reverse-osmosis systems and distillation filters are generally installed under the kitchen sink with a separate faucet on the countertop. At a minimum, I believe a good quality reverse-osmosis system should be considered a basic household amenity.
Mineralizing and Ionizing
Reverse-osmosis systems and water distillation systems do present one minor issue. The filtering process, being as thorough as it is, filters out trace minerals. Trace minerals include over 70 minerals that are found in spring water. What's the role of these trace minerals? They make the water more absorbable, and they're beneficial for the body on their own account, too. There are trace mineral products available at most natural food stores for adding to your water after filtration, which I feel are only fair, at best. Of course you can get these minerals in food, as well, which are naturally better.
There's another thing that sets spring water apart: ionization. In springs or streams or rivers, water rushing and churning over rocks creates a bonding of water molecules into hexagonal structures (this is why snowflakes are hexagonal shaped). This helps explain the surface tension of water—the way water holds itself together. Think of how you can fill a glass slightly higher than the top of the glass without the water spilling over. It's this ionization that makes it more absorbable by the body. With municipal water, you actually have to drink more of it to quench your body's thirst, since much of it passes right through, due to the lesser absorption.
There are also such things as water ionizers. These are units that sit on your countertop. They filter the water and add minerals and use electricity to create an ionization comparable to the churning of flowing spring water, creating the bonding of water molecules. The drawback, besides cost, is that water ionizers only use carbon filters, so you'll still need a reverse-osmosis filter or distiller for the water to pass through first, for the purpose of getting the water free of small contaminants. If money is a factor, don't sweat it. I do feel these products are a little over-hyped, the emphasis being that they make the water alkaline forming. The notion that people feel better using them is likely because they are simply drinking more water since the ionizers do improve the taste with minerals. And you can alkalize your body with a healthy diet anyway. The most important thing here is water purity. And of course drinking enough of it.
Bottled Water
What about bottled water? Can you really get the purity that the bottling companies advertise? Well, maybe. Most bottled water is reverse-osmosis filtered. Some companies advertise natural spring water, which should theoretically provide the minerals, but it's worth noting that the structured water ions begin to dissipate after sitting for about a month. The more critical factor is the purity of the spring which, to the consumer, is really unknown.
Then there's the bottling itself: plastic versus glass. Plastic is made of petroleum which inevitably leaches its own contaminants, especially if the water's been sitting in the bottle for months (and invariably it has) – even those boasting that their containers are 'BPA free'. If you're out somewhere and you're dehydrated and you grab a plastic bottle of water, no big deal. But for your everyday drinking water, opt for water sold in glass. And if you're on the go throughout your day, then take water with you in a glass or steel bottle rather than plastic. If you're using a delivery that provides spring water to your home in five-gallon containers, I suggest a service that will provide glass containers instead of plastic. Just be careful muscling around what adds up to about fifty pounds of water and glass! (Tip: wrap a slightly damp towel around the glass container first. Then, with the towel wrapped around it, pick it up with a bear hug. You'll get a better grip.)
Keep in mind that not all municipal water is bad. If you live in smaller towns and more rural areas, for instance, your local water may, in fact, be sourced from a well with only light chlorination added. Like I mentioned, just chlorination alone can be removed via a carbon filter. Or even just filling a pitcher and letting it sit for a few hours does the trick since chlorine is a gas that quickly evaporates out of the water. It would also be worth getting your water tested. There are home test kits you can purchase on the web, but it only takes a couple hundred dollars to send it to be lab tested.
Some Notes on Hydration
Okay, so now we know the importance of pure water. Make sure you're getting the best available. And plenty of it. How much water should you be drinking? Listen to your body. Most people are consistently in a state of mild dehydration without even being aware of it. It's kind of the norm. And when you think about it, this just might be a function of our inferior tap water. The most common water often doesn't taste that good. So we don't go out of our way to drink it. It's instinctual—the body doesn't want it the same way it wants pure water.
If you find yourself craving cold ice water, it's likely an indication you're dehydrated. Dehydration produces a slightly higher body temperature and the body wants to cool down, hence the craving for something cold. If your urine is consistently a darker yellow color, that's another sign that you're not getting enough water. Migraines are often caused by dehydration, too. And daytime sluggishness generally comes with it. The body is wrapped in a thin layer of facia that aids in your body parts moving smoothly. When dehydrated, cells in the facia shrink, and things don't move as well, often giving the body a chronic mild ache. Also the body's ability to remove toxic waste from cells becomes stagnant which is reflected by everything slowing down and becoming weaker. As always, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Everything works better when you're properly hydrated.
Ironically, a lot of dehydration is caused by other things that we're drinking. Coffee is dehydrating. So is alcohol. Even sports drinks can be because they're full of sugar. After all, what does it take for your body to detoxify all that sugar? Water! (Water is the universal solvent for any toxin in the body.) Sports drinks are overhyped, false-advertised products. Even 'natural' juice products need to be red-flagged for important reasons that's covered in the Infinity Health Manual. The bottom line is to quench your thirst with what's worked best ever since humans began to populate the earth: water. Make the majority of your hydration with unadulterated pure H2O! I can guarantee you that it will make a noteworthy difference in your health, including how you feel, if your hydration has not been raised to this caliber already. You'll see.
A side note about when to drink the majority of your water (which we delve into in the Infinity Health Manual), it's important to drink one to two cups of pure water when your feet hit the floor first thing in the morning. Naturally, the body is in a state of mild dehydration after a night's sleep. Tea and coffee are acceptable to have after your water. And then of course the idea is to stay hydrated throughout the day. Because of the variables of body type, body size, and climate, it's hard to put a number on exactly how much water to drink. A general rule is one to two liters per day. Naturally if you're hiking all day in a dry climate you're going to drink more. Whilst drinking water that's adequately pure, trust your body's instincts and continue to satisfy your thirst exclusively with water rather than bottled drinks. A helpful gauge is the color of your urine. Light yellow is what we're shooting for. Note – if you're having to get up numerous times throughout the night, this being a gauge of over-hydration might be something to consider. This we cover in the 'Sleep' chapter in the Infinity Heath Manual.
You know what's also good at helping you to stay hydrated? High-water content foods. Just another reason to consume fresh fruits and vegetables. Grapes, apples, pears, berries, cucumbers, watermelon, and celery are just a few of the excellent sources of hydrating foods. Now that's pure water!
A note about hydrating during meals: it's less than ideal for the majority of hydrating to be with your meals which has interestingly become the norm. The key is to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day rather than hydrating when you sit down to eat. In the 'digestion' chapter of the Infinity Health Manual I break down how water can dilute, however slightly, your digestive enzymes. Try to leave a window of thirty minutes before and after your meals to curb your water intake. If you're hydrating properly all day, that shouldn't be a problem. Try it. You'll find this becomes the body's natural preference. Of course if you're already thirsty when you sit down to eat, then drink up. Hydration is a bigger priority than enzymes.
A note about the water from your shower: when unfiltered hot (municipal tap) water is sprayed from a faucet, the chlorine instantly turns to gas which is then inhaled. More chlorine can be absorbed by the body during a ten minute shower than by drinking chlorinated water all day! Filtering your drinking water is vital, but don't forget to filter your bathing water. A simple, inexpensive (less than thirty bucks) carbon filter from your local home improvement store can solve this problem for you. The shower head screws off, the filter screws onto the pipe, and then the shower head screws onto the filter. Easy. The whole-house water conditioner mentioned above also takes care of the chlorine for your showers, and all of your other faucets as well.
Okay, this all might seem like a lot of information for something as basic as water. But it's truly so important to give your body the best water possible, and taking a few easy steps towards making this happen has definite rewards. Plus, it gives you just that much less to worry about. Whatever you do, find a way—within your budget—to do something for the sake of this vital element of your health. Bottom line: being well-hydrated with pure water ultimately makes everything in your body work far better – not to mention last longer too. So drink up!
Yours truly, and at your service always,
