The Old Stone Building is located in Douglas County, Kanwaka Township, about 7 miles northwest of Lawrence, Kansas and 4 miles southeast of Lecompton, Kansas. The original date of construction is unknown, but an inscription on the south wall, made when the mortar was still wet, displays the date 1874.
Originally, the Old Stone Building may have been used as a home, but when a wooden house on the same property was erected, the Old Stone Building was used as a smoke house, blacksmith shop, and brooder house (chicken coop). The building had three main rooms, as well as a loft at the north end.
On March 3, 1855, an act of Congress awarded tracts of land to officers and soldiers who had served in the United States military. On August 10, 1860, this 160-acre farm was deeded by President Buchanan to Mehitable H. Sanders, the widow of Samuel Sanders, an officer in the United States Navy. A timeline of the land starts with Sanders service during the War of 1812 on the U.S. Constitution and goes through to present time. In the original deed, the farm was passed to John A. Kelly, who was living in the Lecompton Township (1859 Territorial Census) when Kansas was just a territory. Kelly began living on the land sometime after 1860. Kansas became a state in 1861. During that time, the Old Stone Building and stable were built.
The farm is in the Kanwaka Township, named by Dr. Helen Heath because the township is halfway between the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers. Part of the Oregon and California Trails pass just south of the building. West of the stone building, there is an old base of a windmill (fallen down) and a pump the travelers used to get water. Kanwaka also saw much warlike activity around the Civil War because of its location. It was the middle of the trail connecting Free-State Lawrence and Pro-Slavery Lecompton.
In 1902, the farm was purchased by Willis A. Colman. Colman was born March 15, 1855, and died in 1934. The 1905 census valued the farm at $5,000 and the value of the buildings at $2,000. Colman was the son of Ezekiel A and Mary Jane Wendell and is thought to have been the first Caucasian male born in Douglas County.
After loosing a leg in a farming accident, Colman moved into the city of Lawrence and built a barn for his horse and carriage. Upon moving back to the farm in 1932, he split the barn in half and moved it to the farm (it is located at the southern end of the property). Colman's children farmed the land collectively until 1940. Willis Colman's son, Merle (b. May 30, 1889), engraved his name on the outside southern wall of the stone building, "Merle Colman 1902 Nov."
Around 1940, Willis Ray Colman (b. November 30, 1895) became the sole owner of the farm. He lived in a modest seven room house, which later burned on March 5, 1951. This was the third home to burn on the farm. Colman then built the cottage in 1951 and lived there until his death, July 18, 1960. After his death, Colman's wife, Nellie, their daughter, Waneta (b. July 9, 1927) and her husband, Harold Willits (married July 27, 1947), lived on the property and farmed the ground. Nellie Colman died in 1962 and the farm was divided in 1965 with the Willits as owners of the 160 acres.
In 1965, the Willits built the ranch style home that exists today. Waneta Willits died in 1994 and the family sold the farm to Gary and Terrie Price in 1994. Today, the farm still has over half a mile of stone fencing and a barn built in 1929; an equipment shed, a single grain crib barn (built around 1949) and, in a nearby clearing, a stone fire pit (stones are cemented) where community meetings were held.
The Old Stone Building is surrounded on the homestead by 4 original barns, a cistern, well, and stable, which was rebuilt in 2001. Most of the stable's stone wall had crumbled and the wall frames and roof were non-existent.
About 30-feet of the original walls were still standing and served as the pattern for the rebuilt wall. This building now has a wood shop and sawmill.

Even for ladies or aged individuals, there are a few straightforward ways that may be manufactured before a specialist has to be called. Fantastic garage doorway routine maintenance basically starts during the construction period of a garage. Creating the garage with sufficient space can assist decrease the total of repairs later on.

Garage door sizes are also yet another location to seriously take into account. A standard measurement garage doorway is 9 feet extensive and 7 toes high. This dimensions works nicely for automobiles, but when trucks, suburban, or vans are section on the household fleet, a bigger 10 foot wide and 8 toes tall doorway is appropriate. Also when constructing a garage, it is advisable to use standard dimension doorways. Even just creating a door a handful of inches wider or narrower would require the doorway to generally be a distinctive order merchandise. This could get expensive.
When constructing to accommodate more substantial motor vehicles, it truly is important to recognize that the ceiling must even be higher. A normal ceiling height of eight feet matches with a seven foot large doorway, but an eight foot tall door needs a nine or 10 foot clearance to the within the construction.
Garage Door Fix

If a dent is obstructing the way in which a hammer can be employed to faucet the track back straight after once again.
Doorways have moving components, and so the upcoming issue to check is that if there are actually free bolts or brackets over the door. A simple screwdriver can correct this situation.
The third detail to check is if the door rollers are gummed up with excess oil or grease. Other objects also can inhibit the touring on the door. An accumulation of filth as well as other products normally found in a garage can check the lifestyle within your doorway.

St. John Dream Destination
Friday, April 26, 2019
St. John is an island in the Caribbean Sea and a constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), an unincorporated territory of the United States. St. John is located about ninety miles east of Puerto Rico. St. John is four miles east of St. Thomas (the territory's capital, Charlotte Amalie) and four miles southwest of Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands. You can fly either into St. Thomas (STT) or Tortola (EIS).
St. John is the smallest and most relaxed of the US Virgin Islands. It is as near to perfection as a Caribbean Island can be. More then two thirds of the 20 square mile island are part of the National Park, that means they are protected from development. It is a strikingly beautiful island preserved in natural beauty.
No cruise ships stop on St. John, there is not a single traffic light on the island and there is no airport either. There is no McDonald's, no Kmart, no Walmart and no movie theater but a great variety of local shops, bars and restaurants can be found in hustling and buzzing Cruz Bay, the main town of the island. St. John is 50.8 km (19.61 sq mi) in area with a population of 4,170.
Getting around
You would think that on such a small island (about 8 miles wide and 4 miles high) you can do everything by foot. But due to the hills, this is impossible. Your best option is to rent a car, a Jeep with 4WD, that is unless you stay directly in Cruz Bay where you can everything by foot. You will still somehow need to get the the beaches, the only beach in walking distance is Solomon, which is quite a hike.
Other than rental cars, you can jump onto Safari Taxis, Hitch a ride or take the Vitran Bus to Coral Bay. Or you have a boat or a sea kayak or paddleboard with which you can also get almost everywhere.
Will I get bored on St. John?
No, you will never get bored. There are plenty of bars and restaurants and the possibilities for activities on water and land are endless. Snorkeling, swimming, hiking, freediving, paddleboarding, diving, boating, kayaking, animal watching, running, tennis and so much more. Of course bringing some great holiday reads is always a good idea.

Local brews and local charities are coming together at the Oregon Public House. This is the nation's first non-profit pub. Roughly $1 per pint sold goes to local charities. In the first two weeks of business, the pub raised $2034.80 for charity!
Ryan Saari is the founder of this amazing pub and has rightfully created the motto "Have a pint, change the world". He said that during hard times, people stop giving, but alcohol sales go up so…. why not solve both challenges?!
Wonderful charities and great beer? I'll drink to that!

This strange police sketch of a burglar in the United Kingdom has thrown social media into a frenzy.
Many people are saying the wanted man looks like Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.
The electronic facial identification technique (e-fit) image, showing a man with an unusually large mouth, also looks like it may have been created in Snapchat using face swap.
Others have said it also resembled SpongeBob SquarePants, ABC News London reports.
When Warwickshire Police released the unusual portrait on Twitter on Tuesday, many thought it was a hoax.
The mock-up image has been released to appeal for help in identifying the suspect who is wanted in connection with a robbery at a home in Stratford in February.
Warwickshire Police has confirmed the image, created from a witness description, is real and that they "anticipated the attention".
The original tweet has had more than 35,000 likes and 21,000 retweets.

Van buyers in Australia should soon see a significantly updated version of the Ford Transit.
Ford Europe is showing an updated and improved Transit at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Germany this month.
Ahead of that debut Ford has given us a sneak peek at some of the changes coming into the big-selling model.
Leading those changes will be more fuel-efficient engines and increased payloads (details still to follow).
There's also a new-look front (as seen in the photo above) and improved interior too (not yet revealed).
While connectivity has also been on the agenda with the updated Transit vans to come standard with a built-in modem for easier telematics integration.
Also on show in Germany will be a plug-in hybrid version of the Ford Transit Custom.
That van boasts a pure electric drive range of 31 miles (50 kilometres).
When the electricity runs out the Transit Custom PHEV batteries (located under the load floor) are recharged by a range extender (Ford's 1.0‑litre EcoBoost petrol engine).
That vehicle is now ready to enter production, though no word yet on any Australian availability (we'll keep you updated).
"Hannover will mark the arrival of an exciting new family of Transit commercial vehicles that are 'born connected'," – Hans Schep, general manager, Commercial Vehicles, Ford of Europe.
"Advanced connectivity, and our game-changing electrified vehicles, will create extensive new opportunities to create value for our customers."
Also making an appearance at the IAA event will be the Australia-bound Ford Ranger Raptor – more details on that offering can be found here.

Cutting your costs, fighting your corner
Forimmediaterelease Friday 3 February 2017
Responding to the news that Npower is putting its prices up by nearly 10%, Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, says: "This is the second of the big six to announce price hikes. They're not clinging together as tightly as they normally do, doing it one after the other. But almost certainly by the end of April we will have seen all the big six firms having hoicked their prices by between 5% and 10%. And as always, it's worth remembering that these hikes hit people on standard tariffs. That's the vast majority of people – 66% – and they're already overpaying by typically £200 a year.
"Do not groan, moan or whinge. Take action. Everybody, with every firm, should make sure they're on the very cheapest tariff. The best thing to do is a whole-of-market comparison, but even if you're not willing to do that, call up your existing company and say 'Am I on your cheapest deal?' Most people aren't, and hundreds can be saved just by one phone call."
Spokespeople are available for broadcast interviews and further commentary on request.

I want to address food preservation in this post. Above are photos of my canned meat. Ground beef on the left and chicken on the right. I used a pressure cooker purchased from Wal-Mart (above). The cooker comes with a recipe book and you must follow it precisely. Or you can pick up the Ball Blue Book so at the grocery store near the jars. That is the Canning Bible and if you plan to seriously can, you should own it.
Whether you plan to can or jar now or later- when there is no freezer- you should stock up on plenty of jars and lids. Lids should NOT be reused- so buy lots of extra lids. FYI food properly preserved can last several years (meat goods 3-4 years and fruits 2-3yrs). But, if it smells rancid after opening- DO NOT EAT. Laying up good quality meats, vegetables, and fruits in their peak condition will make them last that much longer.
In regards to freeze-dried foods they taste great- but cost a lot. You should probably plan to budget in at least some freeze-dried goods, but canning will go a long way to make up for it in cost if you cannot.
You can pressure can almost anything; it's by far the safest way to preserve anything without freezing. What my wife and I did was wait for a good sale at the local grocery store and buy several pounds of what was on sale. We got boneless, skinless chicken breast for $1.39 and ground beef for $1.50 a few weeks later.
Post collapse, you will use canning to layup your crops and any meat you can not eat within a day or two (deer, cows, elk or even a big turkey).
You can use almost any heat source for your pressure cooker as long as you can keep the water boiling inside for up to two hours. I purchased a wood burning stove a few months back that will do just that- but even a wood fire will do fine as long as you can keep it hot.
There are two main types of cookers. Those with gauges and those with weights. Get the ones with weights- they are more reliable and do not need to be calibrated, have no moving parts and are less likely to break. Here's a great site with canning materials.

On Memorial Day we honor, we remember, we mourn, and we give thanks to those soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and Coast Guardsmen who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and for each of us. They are the Americans whose blood has sustained our nation, our freedom and our way of life. They are the strength of our nation.
For 243 years America's Armed Forces have existed to defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Their mission is clear, to fight and win our nation's wars. As General George S. Patton said, "Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow, and of the man who leads that gains the victory."
Every member of our armed services takes a sacred oath, a solemn vow "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same." These are not idle words, and the young Americans who utter them are true heroes. By doing so, they commit themselves to the defense of our nation, whatever their personal cost and the cost to their loved ones.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, more than 4 million Americans have sworn that oath, and 7,000 of them have been killed fighting the Global War on Terror. They answered their nation's call, as Isaiah answered his call in Isaiah 6:8: "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me.'"
They all have different tales to tell. Some have been honored for their heroism, others killed in ambushes or attacks they never saw coming, and yet still others killed in accidents, training or tragic happenstances manifested during time of war. These young men and women's dedication, commitment, service and sacrifice shouldn't be questioned.
While many were motivated by military service as a pathway to education, opportunity and prosperity, all were inspired to serve in the military by a sense of duty, patriotism, adventure, purpose and belonging. They sought to be part of something bigger than themselves. But once they joined the military, and when they found themselves in the crucible of war on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, they fought and died for one another.
In a force as diverse as America's, the spirit of community, and I dare say love, that compels soldiers to sacrifice their lives for one another is grounded in shared purpose, experiences and values. The result is a bond that transcends race, ethnicity, education, economic status, blood and soil. They overcame horrific conditions and paralyzing fear because they didn't want to let their fellow soldiers down. They fought for not only their nation and families; they fought for the warriors on their left and right.
Today I honor Staff Sgt. Andrew Britton-Mihalo, one of 46 soldiers killed in the Global War on Terror from my former unit, the Army's 7th Special Forces Group. John 15:13 tells us, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Like all of his fellow fallen warriors, Andrew was a man of "greater love."
Andrew also was a man of character. He, like other fallen that we mourn today, lived by military values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, courage and commitment. His family, teachers, coaches, pastors and Scoutmasters had imbued those values in him prior to his military service, and his military service reaffirmed them.
Andrew was a man of indomitable will, courage and passion. He embodied the Warrior Ethos to always place the mission first, never quit, never surrender and, to the very end, never leave a fallen comrade.
His teammates and fellow warriors who knew him best said of Andrew: "He was the best of us — the glue that held us together." He embodied leadership, passion, and indomitable courage. We are all leaders in Special Forces, but among an organization of leaders, Andrew stood out.
Whether training, operations, work with the indigenous forces or unit social events, Andrew led by example, and he sought responsibility. He had a feel for his teammates and those around him, an innate ability to foster communication, cohesion and team building. As his teammates have said, "Andrew is the type of person that brings us all together and allows us to function as one." Andrew genuinely cared for people, and this manifested itself every day in the little things, like giving his new truck to a teammate whose vehicle broke down while he continued to drive his own clunker until deployment.
Andrew had a zeal for life. We all saw the passion and love Andrew had for his wife, Staff Sgt. Jesse Britton, a fellow soldier and warrior. He proposed to her at the Holiday Gala in front of our entire unit. We saw his passion for kids whenever he encountered them, whether the children of teammates or Afghan children. Andrew was passionate about his profession. Within the 7th Group, we prided ourselves on a Standard of Excellence in all that we do, and Andrew embodied that standard from an early age as a champion athlete, Eagle Scout, and finishing the Special Forces Intelligence course as a junior sergeant. That passion and standard of excellence carried over into his work, his training, his mission focus, and his family and friends.
Andrew was a man of indomitable physical and moral courage. He was benevolent to the weak or oppressed, and a merciless fighter to the enemies of his country or anyone who would threaten the welfare of his family or teammates.
Imbued with a strong moral compass by his family and church, Andrew never backed away. Known for a high pain threshold, Andrew was fierce. He never quit, even to the very end, even when unarmed, running to the sound of guns, he ran through a hail of gunfire and laid down his life to protect his teammates. He was 25.
A warrior would ask that he or she be remembered. And so today I and all Americans honor and remember Andrew, the ultimate Green Beret, who would help the community one moment, and lay down suppressive fire the next.
And today we honor all 46 fallen members of the 7th Special Forces Group, all 7,000 post-9/11 fallen warriors, and every man and woman who has made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our great nation for 243 years.
We also honor their survivors and family members. We offer our condolences and deepest sympathies for their terrible loss, and our most heartfelt gratitude for their loved ones' service and ultimate sacrifice.
Today I hope that Jesse Britton, like all of our nation's military survivors, are moved and comforted by an outpouring of love and support from a grateful nation.
All Americans have a responsibility to our fallen and their survivors. We have a responsibility to remember, mourn, honor and value their sacrifice for each of us. We have a responsibility to not only be a grateful nation, but to act as a grateful nation.
One way we can act is to live every day, and not just Memorial Day, with the same values that they lived for us. Let us do that in their memory and imbue those same values in our fellow citizens, especially our youth.
Warriors would ask not only they be remembered, but to know that their families, inclusive of their fellow warriors, will be comforted and cared for in their absence. Not only as a nation, but as individual citizens, we all have a responsibility to act to support the survivors of the fallen and to support their wounded, ill and injured comrades and their caregivers.
We can also act to honor their sacrifice by supporting all of our transitioning service members and veterans with meaningful education and employment opportunities and working to optimize their health and well-being so they can continue to contribute to freedom, prosperity and sustained health of our democracy.
In doing so we help to ensure the survivors of the fallen, and their fellow warriors who return home, can take part in the American dream and ideal that our fallen warriors sacrificed to protect.

*looks at featured image* Well, it's not exactly the kind of tower I imagined, but, ok. 😛 (psst, the featured image is from Canva!)
Chapter One – The Runaway
A pecking sound rapped against the marbled grounds. The sparrows little beaks pecked at the seeds thrown to them. Dukes, counts, maids, and other people of the royal and peasant family bustled around the palace grounds, preparing for the Festival of Songs. They had not rested since the first light of sun slid above the mountains behind the kingdom. Every year, the King would hold a festival in honour of the great musicians and wonderful songs of their kingdom. Everyone was invited, rich and poor alike. On that day, not one person would be found outside the palace walls.
It was now afternoon and the festival would begin in exactly; I glanced at my watch. "15 minutes." I shifted further up the railings, my book placed on my lap. The leafy tree loomed above me, shading me from the heat of the sun. Thankfully though, it wasn't one of those humid sun-scorching days like it was the week before, and it was the prefect day for a festival.
The Princess was supposed to make a speech for the Festival, but I just had to finish this story of Rapunzel. I clung with one arm to the railing post beside me, while with my other hand turned the page of the book. I slapped down the pages, creasing down a dog-eared corner.
I looked up for a few seconds at the Palace gates, still standing wide open, giving a warm welcome to everyone, calling them to join the festival.
Ever since Matthew was kidnapped, I hadn't set foot outside those gates, and was limited to the little freedom I had before that day.
I heaved a sigh, pulling back the tears.
I looked down again, hoping to drain out the bad memories and enjoy the moment. My ponytail swayed softly in the warm Summer breeze, loose strands of dark hair brushing across my forehead.
"Princess! What am I going to do with you?"
I snapped my book shut and sat up straight, almost toppling into the bushes behind me.
Gaining my balance, I looked up to see Edina, unfortunately, the governess assigned to look after me every minute of the day. I had managed to slip away for a few hours, away from the nagging governess.
"Yes, Edina?" I gave a slight groan under my breath.
Edina held her hand up, extending her pinky in what she called a 'posse'; just because it sounded good. I wondered if she even knew what 'posse' meant. "Have you prepared your speech for the festival? I hope so, Your Highness. Remember what happened last year?"
I smirked, reminiscing the last Festival of Songs disaster.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk tsk…." I mimicked under my breath. I didn't bother to answer the last question.
Edina frowned. "Princess Reese, your mother does not approve you, in public," this she said with a hint of disgust and self-consciousness, as she looked around to see if anyone was listening. "wearing nothing on your head but a ponytail!" she wore a disgusted look on her face. "A ponytail indeed!" It sounded as if she was saying my hair was a wig or something. My eyes danced. I was enjoying this, having completely forgot about my sadness.
"It's improper; especially for a Princess." Edina held her head high, but her eyes looked me over from top to bottom.
"It's comfortable, Edina." I reasoned. I hopped of the fence, standing on the opposite side from where Edina stood, opening my book again to where I left off and leaning my elbows on the fence.
"It's informal. Un-ladylike."
"It's quite fitting to me; now if you'll excuse me." I snapped.
"It's-" the Governess began.
A loud cheering arose.
"It's starting, it's starting! Places, places, Princess!" Edina flapped a hand in front of her face. She pulled out my ponytail and smoothed down my satin dress.
"Governess," I began. I wanted to tell her I decided not to do my speech this year. I didn't care what she would say.
Edina ran off, forgetting about me.
I looked at all the people, rejoicing and happy.
How would they be so happy? Wasn't their Prince gone? Had they already given up? Every year on my brother's birthday, we would let of glowing lanterns into the night sky… just like Rapunzel's parents did in the fairytale. But that was all we ever did. I knew deep inside we had all tried our hardest; but we needed more than that to find Matthew.
Everyday I longed to step out of the palace gates, but my father's repeated answer, was 'no'. I knew it was for my own good. But I just had to find Matthew and bring him back. He was my best friend.
The Festival lasted till midnight, at the dim glow of candlelight. Everyone trooped home; it had been a big day for them all.
I turned the lamp low in my room and brought my hand down, the tips of my fingers brushing against a paper on the desk. I sighed. Letting the low fire in the lamp burn bright again, I dipped my quill into the pot of ink, bringing it to the paper. All I had so far was, Dearest Father and Mother,. And that was all. I couldn't bring myself to tell them. Somehow writing, Dearest Father and Mother, I've decided to leave you and go find Matthew because we all didn't try hard enough, just didn't sound right even if that's how I felt. I crumpled up the paper and dropped it into the drawer, trying to brush the thought away. Again, I dimmed the lamp and lay down.
Summer soon passed, and the leaves turned their bright yellow, orange and red.
Then the chilly winter arrived, and I still hadn't written the letter, and I still hadn't left home.
But one day, in the chilly mid Winter season, I entered my room, opened the drawer of my table and saw the crumpled up, unfinished letter. Eyeing for a few long seconds, I finally sat down on the bed and dipped my quill in the bot of ink on the corner of my table. And then I began to write.
Dearest Mother and Father,
I love you both very much. But ever since Matthew was kidnapped, things aren't the same. I'm not the same. You both aren't the same. I know we all tried our hardest to find him, but I didn't. And I know I can. So I'm going to find Matthew. Please don't try to come and take me back because I won't come back until Matthew is home. I will be alright. I'll be back soon. I will think of you everyday. I love you both.
Your loving daughter,
Reese Abigail Amilda
I sighed, folded the paper and signed it, Mother and Father.
I dimmed the light to its lowest and lay down, but I didn't dare fall asleep. I felt around under the silk covers for my sack of clothes. My hand met the scratchy material of the potato sack I had converted into a knapsack, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Minutes past. I lay in the darkness, staring at the ceiling. I heard father's deep snore, and mother's quiet one. I waited for awhile and then slipped out from under the covers.
I left a note on my pillow for mother and father and crept of. Pulling my nap sack along, I tiptoed across the cool diamond floor. A gentle breeze wafted through the open window. I reached it and gazed out into the night, a few stars twinkling, and more than half a moon appeared on my right.
The light from the watchtower scanned the palace grounds, and I quickly ducked below the sil. The light slowly disappeared, and pulling of my shoes, I leaned out the window as far as I could and dropped them onto the grass. I heard a low thump, and tensed.
I closed my eyes. "I have to find Matthew." I whispered. I pushed the window doors further out. A thick vine crawled down the wall, just touching the grass below. I lifted myself onto the window sill. My foot wiggled into a tight loop in the vine. With my nap sack over my shoulder, I pushed shut the window.
My heart nagged me to go back inside, but my head told me the opposite. I paused. Should I keep on going? Thoughts whirled in my head. Should I just tell father and mother? No. They wouldn't let me go. I had left them a note anyway. My heart beat.
I'd do it. I climbed down farther and reached the wet grass. Small flecks of snow lay on the tips of the grass.
I'd done it. I pulled on my shoes and ran across the grass, trying to keep from the marbled floors so my shoes wouldn't be heard. I kept to the shadows. A voice nagged in my head. How are you going to get out?
Ta da! How'd you like it? It's not the best, but I'm pretty happy with it. Got any tips for me?

Perfect: Richard Branson sends private jet for Obamas so they can discuss how everybody's going to die from fossil fuel emissions
**Written by Doug Powers
Another "do as I say not as I do" instant classic in just a few dozen words:
Barack and Michelle Obama have left Palm Springs, less than 3 days after arriving, and it seems they're on their way to Richard Branson's private island in the Caribbean.
The former prez and Michelle boarded a private jet Monday morning … a jet owned by Branson. The plane is bound for the airport a stone's throw from Necker Island, where Branson lives.
Branson is involved in a slew of socially conscious causes, including deep concerns over climate change … one of President Obama's passions.
"Sir Richard, I'd like to talk to you about our shared concern that fossil fuel emissions are an imminent threat to life as we know it… plus it won't stop raining here."
"I'll send the jet."
The other level of irony now that the Obamas are on the island is the enjoying of the fruits of capitalism during more discussions with Branson about a "crisis" that invariably end up concluding that capitalism is a big part of the problem.

text: After assessing the effects of the recent strike at Marinette Marine Corporation along with difficult domestic crane markets, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. announced that it now expects first-quarter earnings per share to be approximately break even. The 44-day strike at the company's Marinette Marine facility, which ended March 7, is expected to reduce first-quarter earnings per share by approximately $0.12 to $0.15. This is due primarily to lost absorption, inefficiencies, and delays in starting new shipbuilding projects. The strike involved approximately 700 shipyard workers who are represented by Boilermakers Union Local 696. The company said it also continues to be affected by difficult domestic crane markets -- principally for its crawler cranes -- and an unstable geopolitical environment. "Despite our lowered earnings expectations for the first quarter, we remain committed to achieving cash flow from operations of at least $100 million for the year as our diversified model continues to provide stability in challenging times," said Terry D. Growcock, chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, we are continuing to focus on our proven strategies of operational excellence and new-product development to position ourselves to excel when our markets and the economy improve."

I take pride in providing quality care for your pets. It is my sincere hope that my education as a veterinary technician and my extensive background working with animals makes you feel at ease leaving your best friends in my care. I strive to make them feel loved and comfortable by following their routines during the time I spend with them, giving them attention, exercising them and doing anything in my power to help reduce their stress while you are unable to be with them.
"Amy did an INCREDIBLE job of caring for our motley crew, including Dudley (requiring special tracheostomy care), and Pearl (who is blind). She managed all 5 pets superbly - three times a day walks, feeding and playing. I think they were still looking for her to visit even after we returned! My husband and I are both veterinarians, and we feel that having a licensed veterinary technician looking after our chaps was a huge bonus. Superb level of care, peace of mind, and very, very reasonably priced. Thanks Amy!"
Bryden S., Okemos, MIQuotation Source
"Amy is a professional and caring pet sitter. She has taken very good care of our cats when we have gone away, and followed all of our instructions and routines. Also, her veterinary training made her indispensable in caring for one of our cats, during her final weeks with kidney failure. She was dependable (even on short notice) for home-care visits that allowed us to avoid the stress of more trips to our veterinary clinic, and made our cat more comfortable at home. Her advice and assessments were always appreciated."
Anne, E. Lansing, MI
"Thank you for taking such good care of Tanna and the chickens!! Tanna seemed so happy when we got home. It was such a relief to know we had someone reliable and trustworthy taking care of our pets while we were on vacation. Thanks so much!!!"
Dawn D., Mason, MI
"Amy is the best! We have a wide variety of pets, from dogs to a cat, birds, and rodents. She not only provides the basics of food, water, and medicine but she spends quality time with all our critters making them less lonely when we are away."
Terrie W., East Lansing, Michigan
"....With Amy's loving care - and probably more walks and attention than our dog receives on a typical day - Zuzu did just fine! In past trips to the kennel, Zuzu {an Australian Shepherd} would come home hoarse, from all the competitive barking with other dogs, and stressed from her time away from us. This time, there was no stress shedding, no hoarseness and she didn't smell like the kennel!
Zuzu had a chance to be at home, in her own bed (or ours, the guest room, or the couch) while we were away. With the particular schedule Amy and I worked out to be sure our 10-year-old dog got out for her walks and breaks as often as she needed, Zuzu was content! What's more, Amy absolutely loves animals, and you will see it in the attention she gives to yours."
Ann S., E. Lansing, MI
"Amy is just terrific with my cats. She couldn't be better with the boys. They don't like getting their nails trimmed but she makes it quick and painless and gives treats which is the best part. I would recommend her for any pet related needs."
Sue L., East Lansing, MI
"Comments : Amy vacation sat my 3 cats for 1 1/2 weeks last summer. I think she paid more attention to them than I would have. What happy cats! I think she even saw the shy one. This is much better than loading them up to go to the kennel, and then arranging to pick them up."
Nancy S., Holt, MI
My goal is to provide customized care for your individual pet's needs so they feel comfortable, happy, and under a minimal amount of stress while you are away.
I am able to achieve this by following a schedule that you and I lay out together for your best friend, including quality time. Having a schedule that is similar to their normal lifestyle helps them to feel less anxious.
My veterinary technician background has also helped a couple of my clients' pets to be more comfortable and one instance, saved a cat's life.
Please contact me for more information of if you have any questions. I also appreciate additional testimonials and will gladly post them on my site.

Ayurveda institute .
Ayurveda institute
An Ayurveda focus which incorporates treatment, research, and instruction. Patanjali yogpeeth is in haridwar. Baba ramdev and Acharya Balakrishna has established it. So i would like to tell you about it.
Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar.
An Ayurveda focus which incorporates treatment, research, and instruction
Antiquated techniques for recuperating are progressively picking up acknowledgment in advancing positive wellbeing, forestalling sickness, and dealing with an infection which is available.
Patanjali Yogpeeth, which was initiated in 2006 is situated in Haridwar, North India. It was established by Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna.
The trust means to build the proliferation of yoga and Ayurveda as techniques for wellbeing advancement and mending.
The establishment has an extensive variety of yoga exercises which incorporate yoga classes held as camps outside and in the organization for solid people and patients with transmissions of the classes.
Yoga classes at the foundation which are free held regular led via prepared instructors; yoga courses led by the college; inquire about on yoga and spread of learning through books, worldwide gatherings, workshops, and a month to month magazine "Yog Sandesh." The Ayurveda exercises are comparative and incorporate
(1)R esearch
(2) Treatment
(3) Education
(4) Manufacturing and administering Ayurveda drugs
(5) Compiling a reference book of home grown restorative plants. Every one of these exercises will be depicted quickly beneath.
Ayurveda institute Research.
While Patanjali Research Foundation was established in 2010, investigate on yoga and Ayurveda started in the organization in 2007.
It must be underlined that till now the emphasis has been on yoga look into (with 52 distributions in filed diaries and 6 parts in books).
The exploration in Ayurveda covers an extensive variety of subjects of which a couple will be said here.
A review was directed (in 2012) on 2664 people to comprehend whether the prakriti (primordial issue) which shapes the essential constitution of a man in view of the three doshas (Ayurveda, psyche, and body compose), would connect with different parts of wellbeing.
A few factors were evaluated however one of the discoveries is refered to here for instance: Participants with the kapha dosha predominant (in view of an institutionalized survey) demonstrated a positive connection between's their "kapha score" with the quantity of hours dozed every night; while those with vata dosha overwhelming demonstrated a positive relationship with their "vata score" and time taken to nod off every night.
These outcomes recommend that kapha predominant people have a profound rest, though vata prevailing people don't rest as effortlessly (unpublished information, 2012). It is fascinating that these discoveries are genuinely similar to customary portrayals of the qualities of the three doshas (Sushruta Samhita, Chapter 4, Verses 72-76).
Some different cases of the exploration led here incorporate the utilization of Ayurveda in dentistry (there is a very much prepared dentistry unit).
The accentuation is on forestalling and overseeing dental issue with various restorative herbs in view of the body constitution and the prevalence of at least one of the three doshas.
For instance, in counteractive action, biting new stems of particular plants is accepted to cause weakening and leveling of gnawing surfaces, it encourages salivary discharge and conceivably helps in plaque control, while a few stems have an antibacterial action. The stem picked contrasts as indicated by the prevailing dosha introduce in the individual.
Another territory being examined here is wound recuperating. The foundation has patients with postponed twisted recuperating because of diabetes, fringe neuropathy, and vascular issue.
Many have demonstrated advantages when wounds are dressed with nectar. Explanations behind this are numerous.
Nectar is somewhat acidic and topical fermentation advances recuperating, likewise nectar produces hydrogen peroxide and its healthful, hydroscopic, cancer prevention agent, and antibacterial properties guarantee that nectar gives a reasonable situation to advance injury healing.
Aside from postponed wound mending Ayurveda polyherbal arrangements seemed to defer movement of the infection in Duchenne solid dystrophy.These are an example of the investigations being done in the zone of Ayurveda explore.
Treatment is obviously a vital movement in Patanjali Yogpeeth which has arrangement for 400 inpatients and where 50-200 outpatients are seen each day by 40 qualified Ayurveda experts.
The age scope of patients is wide, from youthful kids to more established people. A portion of the conditions most regularly observed are :
3- joint inflammation
4-Corrosive peptic malady
5- hemorrhoids
and also people with immune system infections, disease and neurodegenerative issue.
Patients who go to the outpatient division get a free Ayurveda meeting.
The office likewise has an organic chemistry research facility, radiography, and ultrasound unit so contemporary indicative systems can be joined with customary techniques for analyze.
Inpatients are likewise conceded for Ayurveda medical procedure, especially for hemorrhoids, fistula, hernia, rectal prolapse, pilonidal sinus, and hydrocele.
Training in Ayurveda ought to be as thorough as could be allowed. Patanjali Ayurveda College was set up in 2009, with an admission of 50 understudies every year .
At present, there are 122 understudies who are given directions in light of the syllabus and educational modules for the B. A. M. S. course.
Understudies are likewise presented to handle treks to distinguish therapeutic plants developing in the wild,
addresses from visiting researchers to see how contemporary science sees Ayurveda,
They additionally get an opportunity to see how the polyherbal arrangements are fabricated, and get preparing in hones identified with Indian culture .
The University of Patanjali (perceived in 2006 and operational since 2009) additionally leads a 1- year post graduate certificate course in panchkarma.

It forms a rather attractive little plant, so we are reluctant to remove it. Any ideas anyone??

That would be my thought too. The calcium in the soil prevents the uptake of iron when you get a period of growth with rain after a dry spell. Seems quite late for this condition though.

Everything I own has grown legs. It started just after the Olympics with the sudden disappearance of the lens cap for my camera.
It's not so much that everything is a mess. Everything's always a mess around me. Clutter always manages to find places to roost in the corners while I go on with my life, oblivious to it all. I have a pretty high tolerance for clutter which makes it hard for me to even recognize that it's there.
I don't notice or do anything about it until I lose something. In this case, the companion to the knitting needle you see in the picture above. Shortly after I took that picture it completely disappeared.
Today it is the usb cord for my camera. The last time I saw it was 2:00 today. Now it seems it has vanished. It can't have gone far but it's nowhere to be found.
I don't think it's that my room is a mess. I can always find things in the clutter. I think that it has more to do with the fact that the Olympics disrupted my schedule for two weeks. Things I would have used regularly sat wherever they are hiding and I've forgotten where they are.
I keep saying this but tomorrow I'm going to clean my room. I'm getting tired of not being able to find things.

"Fake Clinic" Campaign Reminds Us We're in a Battle
tags: pregnancy centers, fake clinic campaign, pro-life, spiritual warfare
During the last weeks of July, pro-abortion groups rallied like-minded people to protest, pose as fake clients, and leave negative online reviews, all endeavors to attack pregnancy centers across the country. This organized "fake clinic" campaign reminds us as pregnancy centers and pro-life advocates that we are engaged in a spiritual battle and we need to put on the full armor of God daily.

Fellow Newly Elected Dem Spanberger Scoffs at Ocasio-Cortez's Pelosi Protest: 'That Is of Little Consequence'
Newly elected House Democrats just started congressional orientation this week, but divisions within the freshman caucus are already starting to show.
Speaking on The New York Times' podcast The Daily on Thursday, Rep.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) appeared to scoff at her new Democratic colleague, Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.), recent high-profile climate change protest in current House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) office earlier this week.
Host Michael Barbaro asked Spanberger about the protest and whether or not she participated.
"No, no, no," the newly elected representative from Virginia laughingly replied. Barbaro asked Spanberger why she didn't participate.
"My priority is to get things done and solve problems," she said. "And that requires that we be bringing people into a conversation. And any sort of action that might stop that conversation before it even begins to happen, I think, isn't serving the goal that I seek to pursue.
"I don't actually pay attention to it," she added. "That is of little consequence to me or my desire to be an effective leader and an effective member of this freshman class."
Spanberger was also asked if her agenda is at all at odds with the more progressive wing of the freshman Democratic class.
"No, and I think the big tent, Democratic Party where people have vibrant voices and are passionate about the things that they believe in — I think that's really, truly healthy for our Democracy," she said.
While Spanberger said earlier in the podcast that she won't support Pelosi as speaker, the newly elected Democrat, who ousted Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) in last week's midterms, praised the potential future House leader as a "fantastic example."
"She has been an incredible representative for her district and continues to be, and quite frankly, so many of the women who are here — she blazed a path for so many of us."Published in News

Three Factors to Consider When Choosing an Ecommerce Gateway Provider
If you have an online store as part of your business, you naturally know that web design and online marketing, like search engine optimization, are vital to its success, but you may be underestimating the importance of your ecommerce gateway provider. After all, they're the ones who are providing your business with a way for monetary transactions to even happen.
Ecommerce gateway providers give businesses the chance to accept payments quickly and easily, while keeping their financial records and details secure. A good provider will help your business gain the trust of your customers, which will lead to higher customer retention rates and more customer satisfaction. They're well worth the investment, but as they can be perhaps a bit costly, it's important to be careful when selecting what provider to go with.
Here are some of the factors that you've got to consider when choosing an ecommerce gateway provider.
1. The Fees.
The better providers simply cost more to use. When you first start, there are going to be signup fees, which can be problematic for a small business on a tight budget. There are providers that have no sign up fees, which can be a pretty big boon, but if you expect to sell high volumes of product through the Internet, then it may be worth the higher fee, considering you'll get better services and be able to recoup that loss. What's more, there are also transaction fees to consider. Often times, businesses feel the lower these transaction fees the better, so that they're not tearing into profits too much. However, the better ecommerce gateway providers are the ones with higher transaction fees, so if you're truly concerned about putting customers first, it might be better to opt for the sites with higher transaction fees as they'll also have the better services.
2. Internationally Supported?
Most small business don't have to worry about whether or not their ecommerce gateway provider can support international currency or not. However, the Internet has made the world a small place, so you may find that having multiple currencies supported can bolster sales. If selling internationally isn't too big of a concern for you, you'll have more options available.
3. On-Site; Off-Site.
Some ecommerce gateway providers will take customers off-site to finish their transactions, while others will keep them on your website throughout the whole process. If you're worried about creating a seamless user experience, then the best option is to find an on-site provider. This will also help customers feel more secure with their transactions
Selecting the right ecommerce gateway provider can be a bit tricky, but it's well worth the investment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.

Early recovery from addiction is all about building a new life for yourself, so it is inevitable that you are going to start repairing old relationships you had with people, as well as build new relationships. What if the relationship you have with someone starts to move in the direction of being a romantic one? This is a somewhat controversial question for those in recovery, so we want to break down everything you need to consider before beginning a romantic relationship within the first year of addiction recovery.
Building Relationships in Addiction Recovery
Early recovery puts an emphasis on awareness of your thinking and actions, as well as being cognizant of the dangers of your thinking and actions. When starting new relationships as a new and sober you, you need to take a defensive stance and be very careful. The worst thing you can do in recovery is to put yourself in any position that could harm your recovery or threaten your sobriety. People and your relationships with them can either strengthen your recovery or weaken it.
What Addiction Treatment Specialists Say About Dating in Recovery
Counselors and addiction treatment professionals have come to the conclusion that dating in the first year of recovery offers more harm than it does good – at least when it comes to your long-term recovery and sobriety. AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) goes as far as to implement a "one year rule" on dating, citing the fact that your first year of recovery should be focused on rebuilding the relationship you have with you.
This "one year rule" is actually very smart and sensible, and can protect you from getting hurt at a time when you are still emotionally, physically, and mentally fragile. However, life and love don't often correlate with smart and sensible, and love can make fools of us all. So, when love shows up in the first year of recovery, there are two choices: pursue the relationship, or decline to further the relationship. Those aren't two great options for someone who has this question, and it is only natural to want to reject the one year rule and figure out how you can have the best of both worlds and create a third option. How can you pursue a romantic relationship with someone without harming your recovery?
Types of Romantic Relationships in the First Year of Recovery
First, let's look at the types of relationships that might happen in early sobriety. Each type of romantic relationship will likely have its own set of nuances, so it is best to address the details to find the true weight of decisions that need to be made.
Continuing a Relationship When Sober
This is a very common type of relationship, and also one that has very "high stakes." This type of relationship is characterized by the fact that you had a relationship with a person while you were using drugs and alcohol, and are considering continuing the relationship after rehab and in early sobriety. With these types of relationships, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
Did my partner drink or use drugs with me?
This is important to establish, because of the risk that your partner may continue to drink or use drugs while you are trying to remain sober. In many cases, your significant other's use of substances can be a trigger that causes you to want to use them again as well.
Was my partner supportive of me getting help and getting sober?
It seems like a no-brainer, but if your partner was not concerned with your getting sober and didn't support you in your recovery, then the relationship will be very toxic to your continued sobriety.
There are a great many other factors that could contribute to your decision to continue your relationship; if you have kids together, share a residence, work together, or have other long-term ties, simply severing the relationship may be difficult. The most important thing to remember is that your recovery takes first priority, and if your partner is not contributing to your recovery, the relationship is going to be a constant struggle.
Revisiting an Old Relationship When Sober
This happens so often and can take its toll on you mentally. In the first year of recovery, you are going to experience a lot of emotions. Shame and regret are going to be 2 of the strongest emotions, and even though you can try to suppress them, or deny that they will have an effect on you, they are going to have a very strong effect.
One of the main things you will regret or feel shameful about in your recovery is the relationships you had with those closest to you when you were using. The weight of your past actions will become crystal clear, and you will be overcome with the feeling that if you had it to do all over, you would do it right. You would treat them how you now see you should have.
Just because you can see more clearly in your early sobriety, doesn't mean you aren't going to make mistakes, and it doesn't mean that the second try at a relationship is going to yield better results than the first round. It is important to remember this, and not get too caught up in the shame and regretful feelings.
The good news is, that if this past relationship truly is strong, and deserving of a second chance, that person will wait for you and will be willing to seek a second try when you both are ready. Within the first year of sobriety, you probably aren't ready, and it would be unfair to both of you to try and force a second attempt at the relationship too early. If – after a year – you continue to feel that you could treat the other person better, and could have a successful relationship, it might be worth the attempt. However, relationships that are based only on the strong feelings of regret and shame probably won't equal out to a strong long-term and healthy relationship.
Starting a New Relationship When Sober
This is the type of relationship that in early recovery are questioning. You meet someone in the first few months after rehab and treatment, and you like them, and you want to pursue a more intimate relationship — Is that so wrong? No, it is only natural to want to move on with your life and start working on your goals for the future. A significant other will definitely be part of that future, but when should another person become a part of your life and work with you on those future goals?
Emotional and Mental Symptoms of Post Acute Withdrawal in the First Year of Recovery
Before getting into a relationship within the first year of recovery, it is important to look at the symptoms that you will encounter in that first year of being sober.
- Persistent anxiety
- Feelings of Guilt and Shame
- Lack of Energy
- Anhedonia (Inability to Feel Positive Emotions)
- Depression
- Emotional Exhaustion
The above symptoms will be persistent and manic in the first months of recovery. You will undoubtedly experience high highs and low lows and will be – for lack of a better word – an emotional wreck. The first 12 months of sobriety should be focused on how you handle these feelings and emotions without chemicals or medications, and eventually, you will find your natural balance again.
The risk of adding a relationship to this crucial timeframe is having a dependency on that other person to balance your feelings. An energetic significant other can balance out your lack of energy, and an outgoing and protective personality can counterbalance your persistent anxiety. However, adding this person in as a counterweight before you have found your natural balance can keep you from healing yourself.
Progressing Relationships Slowly
The overall conclusion to these questions falls in-line with AA's "one year rule," and the only safe conclusion one can draw is that the best bet is to not get involved in a relationship until you have built yourself into a strong individual who can take what the world has to throw at them. You need to be able to stand on your own two legs first and foremost before you let anyone try and sweep you off your feet. Move relationships with friends and those who could be more than friends slowly.

Nonlinear femtosecond pulse propagation in an all-solid photonic bandgap fiber is experimentally and numerically investigated. Guiding light in such fiber occurs via two mechanisms: photonic bandgap in the central silica core or total internal reflection in the germanium doped inclusions. By properly combining spectral filtering, dispersion tailoring and pump coupling into the fiber modes, we experimentally demonstrate efficient supercontinuum generation with controllable spectral bandwidth.
