Uninterested in the yearly Call of Responsibility releases that appear so as to add less and less by way of new content? While it is perhaps essentially the most effectively-known and standard FPS with hundreds of thousands of games sold, there are numerous implausible games like Call of Responsibility value considering. Which Game Like Spore Is Your Favourite? – Know Any Different Games Like Spore? Share Them! Late in 2013 a new sport got here out with the same graphic engine and gameplay called XCOM – Enemy Inside, this one add more fascinating issues to the sport, including new applied sciences and extra enemies. This time it is not solely the Aliens however a secret organization that Xcom must struggle.
As with last yr, FIFA 19 for Change will run on a custom engine, albeit a dramatically improved one. Meaning it won't play or look precisely like the other console equivalents. It will, however, feature the Champions League like all other versions. Excellent. Total, Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a recent tackle survival horror genre with an unscripted and light-weight-hearted method. Its retains things challenging while being darkly comical on the identical time. For those who like hardcore games like Rust, Sir, you Are Being Hunted must be right up your alley.
In case you are not feeling like killing anyone, Dishonored offers you an possibility to take action. The entire game can be completed with out killing a single human being. Missions that require you to assassinate somebody, have alternative routes of completing them. Again, you might be free to take any route you need which might determine the ending you'd get.
Resident Evil 5 obtained a variety of flak when it launched back in 2011 on PS3. Capcom's iconic franchise that when centered closely on survival horror displeased many fans when it dropped that tradition for extra action oriented gameplay. However one factor that RE5 did get right was its couch co-op, permitting a buddy to leap out and in of the primary campaign. Now remastered on PS4, RE5 is now probably the most entertaining cooperative shooters on the system.
Like Vermintide 1, Vermintide 2 takes on the format of Valve's traditional co-op shooter, Left 4 Lifeless. Each hero is generally capable but vulnerable on their very own. Among the swarms of rats are elite enemies that specialize in ambushing particular person gamers, leaving them helpless till a comrade rescues them. The mutual need for defense makes Vermintide unusually dependent on good teamwork, and sharp spatial awareness and generous instincts are better for survival than good goal.

I have tried to make the chassis constrained the same way as it is in the original mendel, however I am relying on gravity to hold the chassis down so I only need 6 bearings in total for the chassis. Below is a picture of the chassis mounted to the OverlapStrap frame.
Category: Reprap
OverlapStrap Y Skate
The main reason my plans for this repstrap deviate from the work being done by bodgeit was because he uses 606 bearings. I wanted to use the M4 bearings that are part of the Mendel Bill of materials. Instead I have made these skates inspired by those used in the build your cnc project.
The M4 bearings are mounted on 1/2″ x 1/2″ x 1/8″ Aluminium Equal Angle which I picked up from eBay
As usual the dxf files can be found here
OverlapStrap Z-Rail Mounts
A couple more drawings for the Z-Rail Mounts.
The upper mount
The lower mount
All Files can be downloaded here
OverlapStrap Frame
So far all I have done is built the frame with Y and Z axes. All bars are the same lengths as in the original mendel. The wooden parts are made from 12mm x 32mm planed smooth timber.
I will be providing all files in dxf format. You can download the above drawing here
Using reprap software on ubuntu karmic amd64
The reprap software comes with rxtx and java3d binaries needed for 32bit architectures so getting the reprap software working on amd64 either means installing 32bit version of java or installing native 64bit versions of the libraries. I preferred the latter option here is how I did it.
sudo apt-get install libjava3d-jni
unzip Downloads/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins.zip
sudo cp rxtx-2.2pre2-bins/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/librxtxSerial.so /usr/lib
cd reprap-mendel-20100105 rm lib*.so ln -s /usr/lib/jni/libj3dcore-ogl.so ln -s /usr/lib/librxtxSerial.so
Inspired by Bodge-its Mendel Repstrap, I am building a repstrap which overlaps as much as possible with Mendels Bill of Materials. The idea being that I can print the needed 3d parts, with the repstrap, then dismantle the repstrap and build Mendel, without having to have bought lots of extra parts and materials.

Last week on the PCOS Challenge Radio Show, I was asked about the relationship between CoQ10 and fertility. I promised Sasha I would investigate the issue, since I did not have an informed answer on the tip of my tongue. Here is that answer!
My gold standard for information is peer-reviewed literature in the National Library of Medicine database. When I used the keywords,"CoQ10" and"PCOS", there were no studies listed. When I used the keywords,"CoQ10" and"fertility", 16 different references appeared, but none of those references were about fertility in women. Two studies did report an association between low CoQ10 levels and miscarriage.
When I used the keywords,"fertilization" and"CoQ10", abstracts from the list of studies done on men were all that appeared.
Bottom line: CoQ10 could be important for conception and maintaining pregnancy, but there have been very few studies on the topic, and none of them that I found had a recommended dose. It may be important with this particular supplement to consider the father's regimen as well.
What is CoQ10, anyway? CoQ10 is an antioxidant made by our own bodies. As the Mayo Clinic writes, CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Since PCOS is a pre-diabetic, inflammatory condition, it makes sense that there would be interest in its role in this diagnosis as well. The link I provided above also evaluates the strength of the evidence supporting the use of CoQ10 for a variety of medical conditions.
For adults, Mayo also reports a dose 50-1,200 milligrams of CoQ10, in divided doses, by mouth, to be what was commonly reported.
Even though CoQ10 may help prevent miscarriage, it has also been known to reduce blood glucose levels. This can be a plus…but when another life is being taken into consideration, and the detailed effects of exactly how blood glucose responds to CoQ10 in supplemental amounts, given the fact that the use of CoQ10 has not really been studied during pregnancy, my first inclination is to not recommend it for women with PCOS who are trying to conceive and who may be pregnant without knowing it.
CoQ10 levels have been found to be lower in people using certain medications, such as statins (which lower cholesterol), beta-blockers (which stabilize heart rate), and blood pressure medications. If you are not trying to conceive and you are on medications in any of these categories, it wouldn't hurt to ask your pharmacist and physician about the potential benefits of supplementation.
CoQ10 is an antioxidant. It makes sense to me that in an inflammatory condition such as PCOS, there would be a risk of lower levels. But rather than view this as a situation where you have PCOS because you have low levels of CoQ10, I encourage you to consider whether your CoQ10 levels are lower than they should be, because of choices you are making that promote inflammatory processes. This blog is full of information about ways to slow down inflammation (which, in essence, is accelerated aging). There are many things you can do which can head off the need for even needing a supplement.
And you thought this potentially magical compound was going to replace the need for healthy eating, activity, stress management, and sleep hygiene choices. Cyster friends, if that was true, you wouldn't have spent all that money on all that CoQ10 and still be here looking for another answer. Dang!

A lot of times we have the tendency to pack our schedules full. Every hour of "free time" is time that could be filled with another hour of class, work, or other commitments. But having a jam-packed schedule is often a recipe for disaster. Extra side projects and assignments will always come up, and then suddenly your full load becomes an overload. Unfortunately, when my friends and I do this, we often end up sacrificing sleep in order to finish everything that needs to get done. And when you miss out on sleep, it's harder to function and it can take a real toll on your body, especially if it's a chronic issue.
Personally, when this happens, not only do I run out of time to sleep as long as I would like to, but all of this work creates a lot of anxiety for me. And if you've ever been really anxious about something (and who hasn't?), I'm sure you know how difficult it is to sleep! And then the more tired I get, the worse my anxiety gets and the less I sleep – a difficult cycle to break.
A lot of my friends load up on caffeine in the mornings, drinking cup after cup of coffee to get through the day. I'm not sure how healthy that is for the body, but it seems like a quick fix that doesn't really solve the root of the problem. And I personally can't drink coffee, because caffeine shoots my anxiety through the roof. If I'm even a little anxious and then I drink a cup of caffeinated coffee, I become a complete wreck. My heart races and I start shaking and sweating so much that I literally can't concentrate on anything until the feeling passes, which can take hours sometimes.
Some of my other, over-21 friends try to balance the stress in their life by having a few drinks from time to time. And yet again, not only does this have other health risks involved, but alcohol never really makes me feel better. If I'm anxious, it makes me more anxious. If I'm depressed, it makes me more depressed.
So I'm constantly searching for "easy" ways to get all of my work done, get enough sleep, and still find the ability to relax at the end of the day. And lately, I've found something that seems to help out with that: I've started taking baths. This is something that a lot of people do anyway, but it was never part of my schedule before. In fact, until last fall, I hadn't taken a hot bath since I was a kid. Then last semester I was having muscle aches and a friend suggested I try soaking in the tub for a while. I found it incredibly relaxing, and now I take several baths every week. Sometimes I just sit and think, sometimes I blast music and sing at the top of my lungs, and a lot of times I actually read textbooks, which is great because I get to relax while simultaneously being productive.
When I'm in the bath, with the door locked and my music playing, it's as if I'm in my own world. My roommates can't ask me to do them favors, I can't answer the phone, I can't check my e-mails or type up papers. No one expects you to do anything stressful while you're in the bath.
If I am particularly stressed, I will think ahead and make time in the next day or so for a long bath. Then I can look forward to that when my anxiety starts acting up and know that there will be an hour or so very soon when I can just relax and not think about anything stressful! And sometimes, when I'm done with all of my work for the day but still have residual anxiety, I take a bath before bed and it helps to relax my whole body, which sometimes lets me sleep better at night. And sleeping better helps me feel through-and-through better the next day, which means I'm more productive without needing caffeine to stay awake, which is great for me.
Recently, I read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (I actually started reading it while in the bath one day), and in it she wrote, "There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them. Whenever I'm sad I'm going to die, or so nervous I can't sleep, or in love with somebody I won't be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: 'I'll go take a hot bath.' I meditate in the bath. The water needs to be very hot, so hot you can barely stand putting your foot in it. Then you lower yourself, inch by inch, till the water's up to your neck." After I read that quote, I just smiled for a minute, because I hardly ever read something that I agree with so much.
Now, baths may not be your answer. Some people don't like taking baths, or just don't find them as relaxing as I do. But don't be afraid to keep trying new things. Even things that seem silly may help you out more than you realize. Have you ever discovered something that benefited your health or stress levels unexpectedly? Finding time to relax is important, as is a good night's rest. Maybe a long, hot bath will do the trick!

The Kälin – Kochenov Quality of Nationality Index (QNI) ranks the objective value of world nationalities as legal statuses of attachment to states. It looks at two groups of factors: internal (scale of the economy, human development, and peace and stability) and external (visa-free travel and the ability to settle and work abroad, weighing the quality and also the diversity of destinations).
The 3rd edition, updated with 2017 data, gives a global, dynamic overview of the quality of all the nationalities in the world, providing a sketch of contemporary trends in citizenship and migration regulation worldwide.

One of the true gentle giants of sports is gone. Merlin Olsen, defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams, broadcaster for NBC (and briefly for CBS), actor (Little House on the Prairie and Father Murphy) and FTD pitchman, died of mesothelioma at the age of 69.
My best memories of Olsen is as a broadcaster where, with Dick Enberg, he formed the best play-by-play duo I've heard (yes, with all due respect to Pat Summerall and John Madden). They were smooth, exciting, and informative. They brought the AFC to life for me on NBC during the key years that made me want to be in that business.
Here's a nice article from Sports Illustrated's vault, dated January 19, 1981 (thanks to Richard Dietsch's Twitter page)
Some video: Olsen helps Curt Gowdy open a 1988 Steelers/Redskins broadcast.
Enberg and Olsen open NBC's coverage of the 1988 Rose Bowl.
Lastly, though he's barely featured here, Olsen was part of the call of Super Bowl XVII. I love the old graphics, the quality of the video, and the old Dolphins uniforms.
I still have Enberg and Olsen calling the Jets and Steelers from December 10, 1983. Anybody want to help me transfer it from the VHS tape?

Carmine Devita, 24, of 2646 Post Road, was arrested on Wednesday, May 1, on charges of burglary in the third degree and criminal attempt to larceny in the sixth degree.
Police said at approximately 3 p.m. officers received a report of a person attempting to break into a rooming house apartment. When they arrived, they encountered Devita sitting on the front porch and he told them he is a resident of one of the apartments, according to the report.
An investigation revealed that Devita had attempted entry into one of the neighboring apartments by applying force to an exterior window prior to the arrival of police, according to the report.
Police said he later admitted to the offense.
He posted $250 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, May 13.

I've always been a fan/reader of personal and spiritual development books. About 15 years ago I discovered that neuroscience and quantum physics were pretty much proving what the spiritual, religious, and metaphysical teachings have been telling us all along. I wanted to write a down-to-earth book that helped people gain greater control over their lives using these principles. However, I didn't want to write another generic law of attraction or how to change your brain book, so I incorporated some humor and wit to make it more easy and fun to read.
What really inspired this book, at this time, is in all my years of teaching and coaching and writing self-help books, people seem to be feeling less in control of their lives than ever. At the end of the day, it's our thoughts and the emotions they provoke that truly cause and create our reality. That used to kind of be a new age-y statement, but now we know, through neuroscience, that the pathways in our brains and our reticular activator systems do indeed "show" us the reality we've got programmed in our heads. And of course, quantum physics supports that we can affect matter merely by observing it.
The secret—not that it's really a hush-hush kind of secret—is to take the time each day to tune out of the reality you've already created and are living in every day, so that you can tap into your imagination and create whatever improved conditions that you think might tickle your fancy. This should be fun and light work. It should be relaxed an enjoyable. Why we refuse to find closed-eyed quiet time each day is beyond me, especially when it's so delicious, but I suspect it's because we tend to stay connected to our worry-wart minds about all the things that may not be working perfectly instead of slipping into the blank canvas that is our imagination.
We have to remember that our imaginations are our playgrounds. We have the right and the gift of this beautiful ability which enables us to create any kind of existence we'd like. Then when we add upbeat emotion and positive expectation, things begin to manifest in our external worlds. The trick is though, that we have to disconnect from that very same outer world consistently enough to create in our inner one.
And that is my passion and purpose for this new book.

Although I owned several motorbikes over the past 13 years, I only used them for short distance commuting. Then in October 2007 I bought myself a BMW F650 GS Dakar .
On 1 December I joined a group of BMW drivers from Cape Town on a trip to Wuppertal. They all belong to the Cape Town BMW motorcycle club. The team consisted of three BMW 1200 GS, five BMW 1150GS, two BMW F650 GS Dakars, a normal BMW 650GS, 1x BMW R80 GS and a Honda African twin
I met up with the team in Ceres. First we had breakfast at the Wimpy. One of the riders had a flat rear tyre on his way to Ceres and first we waited for the tyre to be repaired.
We topped up with fuel at Ceres and Prince Alfred Hamlet, which is only about 10km out of Ceres. From Prince Alfred Hamlet we went up the Gydo Pass. As I already mentioned from one of our Karoo trips earlier the year, the views from the Gydo pass is spectacular. I found that riding in a group with a motorbikes limits the times I can stop to take photographs. Thus this report will have far less photographs than my other trips.
At "Op die Berg" we turned right into the Cederberge. The road is tar for another 9km and then become a gravel road. You can either turn right towards "Klein Cederberg" or continue with the road towards Wupperthal.
Where the tar stopped we all stopped to deflate the tyres for the gravel road and to get a briefing from the trip leader. We received some welcomed advice on how to drive on the gravel road. We were also warned that the views on the road is spectacular but that there are some sharp bends and if you look around too much you might get a nasty surprise.
Drivers briefing
The crowd
From here the views are absolutely spectacular. I can see why we were warned not to look around too much.
Spectacular views

We stopped at Oasis to rest and have something cold to drink. It was very hot, I am sure it must have been close to 40 degrees. Oasis is only a building next to the road. You can buy something to drink and to eat there.
At The Oasis
A couple of kilometers after Oasis turned right to Matjiesrivier onto "4×4 Jeep Track" This part of the road is a little more rough and not really suitable for normal cars. The little road was in a very bad condition and most of us were standing most of the way. At some places we encountered thick sand and water to cross. This takes a bit more concentration and caution than doing it with a 4×4.
Crossing a stream
On the "Jeep track" close to Eselbank
We reached Eselbank. I learned something new. Just after Eselbank there is a swimming hole. We stopped there for very welcome cold drinks, hot dogs and a swim. We relaxed for about an hour before continuing the journey.
Water hole at Eselbank
Time for a swim
BMW 1200 GS Adventure
From here the road became even more difficult. Just after Eselbank the real difficult part over the mountain starts. There were not many places to stop for photographs but I managed to take this one on the way down.
Going down
I must confess, it is a total different feeling going down this pass with a motorbike than with a 4×4. At some places you have a vertical drop right next to you if you drive in the right side track. Sometimes it feels as if the drop is pulling you to that side. Inside a vehicle it is a total different feeling, you feel much more save.
We finally arrived in Wuppertal. We stopped for some water and to my surprise we had to continue. We were camping on a farm close to Clanwilliam. So we still had to drive another odd R40km of very bad gravel road.
After a misunderstanding on the directions to the farm we arrived at "Bushmans Cave". We received a warm welcome from our host, Erik de Milander. Erik laid out a very attractive camping site on his farm with a swimming pool and hot water showers. What more do you need after a hot day's drive. To make things even better, Erik catered for us the evening. We had a wonderful braai with too much to eat.
It is very quiet and peaceful on the farm. It is far from any busy roads or towns.
Camping site
After a good night's rest Erik had breakfast ready for us the next morning. He told us about the unique Mountain Theater he built on his farm. It is regularly used for shows by locals artists and you can also use for for functions like weddings. It even had a honeymoon suite in one of the caves.
On our way to Clanwilliam we stopped at the Mountain Theater for a quick view.
Bushmans cave
The Honeymoon suite is at the red arrow
You can contact Erik on 027-482-2918
From here we headed back to Clanwilliam. From here the team split up. I went back home via Lambertsbaaie and the rest followed the Clanwilliam dam along the Olifantsrivier and then back to Cape Town.
All in all this was a marvelous trip. For the first time I realised what it takes to do 450km per day on a bike, much more than in a 4×4.

October 30 & 31st, 2017
Location: Stoddard Avenue Dayton (Behind the Art Museum)
Off for 2016, The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow is back this year. The Glow is one the best hidden traditions in Ohio. Aptly hidden on a hill behind the Dayton Art, in the Griffton hill neighborhood event lights up the night. In 2015 over 850 pumpkins were displayed. That is over 850 different Jack-o-lanterns of ever imaginable variety.
The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow was started over 20 years ago by Judy Chaffin. She decided that the glow of some Jack-o-Lanterns would help to brighten the dark of here neighborhood. Behind the local Greek Church was a small hill that was perfect. Judy Chaffin, her brother, and sister in law made the few pumpkins displayed in 1994, The after a few year friends and neighbors helped out. Eventually it became an event. In the beginning they had to find the pumpkins at local farms and drive them back on their own. Not to hard for 50 or 60 pumpkins but an almost undo able feat for over 400. Luckilly they found a farmer who worked out a good deal and would deliver, a needed service for over 800 pumpkins.
The Pumpkin Glow is a simple concept. Take a few pumpkins, carve, light, and display. Common ideas start to run out after a few hundred pumpkins and the wackiness that makes The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow a treat pop up. Everything from movie characters, local attractions, famous landmarks, words, to marriage proposals have appeared on the gourds. If it can be carved into a Jack-o-Lantern it probably has at the Pumpkin Glow.
Last year the hill was dark. But as the glow idea has caught on around the area and nation the Stoddard Avenue tradition was needed even more. This year the excitement of the lighted hill has grow. The Glow is October 30 & 31st, 2017 and is expected to be one of the biggest. Zombie Dogz and El Meson will be among the food trucks in the area. Over 2000 people are expected to attend the event so expect crowds.

Jobs Commission unveils improvement plan
Lowell Sun
ByKatie Doyle, Statehouse Correspondent
Updated: 10/04/2012 10:33:39 AM EDT
BOSTON — Legislators are praising a report calling for targeted job training and infrastructure investment.
Sen. Jaimie Eldridge, a Democrat from Acton, echoed the need for public schools to focus on science, math, technology and engineering education, even if funding for those programs is limited.
"I think it would create a whole new generation of engineers and scientists that really is the strength of the state's workforce," he said.

Storm Drain Marking
The storm drainage system is often mistaken as a part of the sewer system. Picking up trash and pollutants along the way, stormwater flows into a storm drain and travels through underground pipes to the nearest body of water. Stormwater carrying fertilizers, pesticides, bacteria, oil, or leaves and grass clippings is not treated before entering a creek, stream, river or reservoir. Wildlife living in and around the water body are directly impacted by this untreated runoff. We must make every effort to reduce unwanted pollution from making its way into a storm drain.
Storm drain marking includes inserting a labeled plaque above the drain to warn and inform unaware citizens not to dump pollutants. Stormwater SMART provides 'No Dumping' plaques to our member communities at no charge. You can contact us to get your group involved in a storm drain marking project in your area.
Storm Drain Art
Storm drain art is a phenomenon that adds creative flair to building awareness around where storm drains lead. Colorful, eye-catching designs bring attention to the aquatic ecosystem present at the other end of the drain pipe and the potential harm of dumping pollutants into their habitat. Storm drain art contests have happened all over the country, engaging citizens to take ownership of their watershed.

DAVAO Region's business climate is obviously in good condition right now. The development in the region is clear as day with the entry of different investors.
The most recent development in the region in terms of investment is Packwell, Inc., which will soon set up a facility at the Anflo Industrial Estate (AIE) in Panabo City, Davao del Norte.
The Japanese manufacturing firm entered into an agreement with Damosa Land, Inc. (DLI), operator and developer of AIE, to put up a manufacturing plant at the industrial park. Packwell is in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling of paper packaging containers.
The entry of the manufacturing firm is expected to provide more jobs to those living in the region.
Packwell, Inc. is not the only company investing in Davao Region. We are also seeing some Filipino companies, mostly real estate firms that are also doing business here. Locally, we are also seeing the opening of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
There are a lot of factors that make a province, city, or town business friendly. Whether it is the ease of doing business, incentives, operational cost, and proximity to ports, these play part in why business is currently good in Davao Region. President Rodrigo Duterte coming from Davao City may have also played part in why business is good here.
Martial Law in Mindanao is also benefitting the local economy. National Economic and Development Authority (Neda)-Davao director Maria Lourdes Lim said there has been a notable deceleration of armed encounters and atrocities in the region since the declaration, which may inhibit investors to pursue their objectives.
"By these indicators alone, we could say that martial law has a positive effect on our overall business environment in the region, attracting more tourists. By the way, there is a notable increase of tourists in the region in 2018 also through the effort of our local government units (LGUs) to attract more tourists in festivals and Meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) [activities]," Lim said.
Business is currently good in Davao Region, evident with the recent developments in region.
Development also has its trade-offs. Worsening traffic situation, possible environmental degradation, and increasing population are just among these trade-offs.
However, with proper planning by the various local government unit they may strike a balance between development and ensuring that the province, city, or town are still livable places.

I'd do nothing but reading if I could (ok, maybe eat some great food, buy some fancy shoes between two books...oh, and spend some quality time with the gorgeous guy I married while I am on reading-break anyway...)
It was free, so I thought I'd try it.
I expected one of those stupid billionaire-meets-normal-girls-novels, that are so popular due to Ms James' contribution to the world's literature.
It was unexpectedly nice. I liked the heroine a lot. And most surprisingly even the hero - at least a bit. I deducted stars for his possessiveness and ensuing violent behaviour. This is uncool and totaly unacceptable.
The rest was surprisingly enjoyable, even with total disbelief as to how nice all those rich people were and the rest of the fairy tale surroundings.

Please join our prayer group on Facebook called "Say A Little Prayer"! Share your prayers, pray for others and let the group know how prayer is working out for you.
Description About the Group:
The power of prayer is amazing. It can literally uplift and transform your life. It has changed my life. Without prayer, I would have gone crazy. I wondered how many people felt like me. How many of us want to pray with others but are afraid to ask? That is why I started this group, because we all need prayer.
I'd hope you would join this group – God has wonderful things in store for you. Prayer has been a blessing to me, and I hope you would allow it to be a blessing for you too.
Use this group to post your prayer requests, pray for others, share testimonies or hardships so we can uplift you!
"For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20, NIV).

1) Pre-trim
If you didn't shave for some days and have more than light stubble, then pre-trim before shaving using your beard trimmer or styler attachment.
2) Have dry skin for dry shaving
When shaving dry, it is important to have dry skin before starting to shave, because moist skin (without lubrication from gel or foam) hampers smooth movement of the shaver on the face. So if you have a shower or wash your face, wait at least 5 minutes for it to be completely dry.
3) Choose a comfort setting
If you have a shaver like the Philips Shaver series 9000 with different comfort settings, then use the setting that you feel most comfortable with.
4) Circular motions
Shave in small, circular motions.
5) Gentle pressure
Always start shaving with gentle pressure, especially in sensitive areas where it's important to be gentle. Pressing the shaver too hard doesn't really help to shave faster. And it can often cause skin irritation because of increased friction between the shaver and your skin.
6) Stretch the skin
Stretch your skin a little using your hand, to raise those hairs and shave the spots that are more difficult to reach.
7) Approach from different angles
For those last, hard to shave hairs, just use a little gentle pressure and approach the hair from several angles to shave them.
8) Final pass
Increase the pressure at the end, moving against the grain. Again, be careful in sensitive areas.
9) Balm or aftershave
Apply an aftershave or balm for that extra fresh sensation and you're ready to go.
10) Clean the shaver
Do not forget to clean your shaver for optimal shaving performance and hygiene. Clean it with lots of lukewarm water, shake off excess water and lay it down open to dry. Or, if you have the Philips SmartClean system, simply place it inside and your shaver will be ready for your next shave.
How regularly should you shave?
For the best results and to keep your skin used to the electric shaver, it's best to shave at least three times a week.

I am sure we have all enjoyed the Olympics and the excellent performance from Team GB, there is always going to be a lot of speculation and debate about the cost but the Olympics and the Jubilee means the UK has been seen around the world in a very positive light. There is always the debate about it only benefiting London, Well here is some news for all you sceptics.
In Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, there is a much fairer wind blowing through these city economies than the media would have you believe. Negative media has led to negative market sentiment and, as a result, the difference between office yields in London and elsewhere is the widest ever known. But despite this demand in the regional property markets is greater than it has been for some time.
So where is the growth coming from? The main factors are an increase in "onshoring" & "northshoring". Cost increases and service concerns have led to large corporates bringing service & call centers back to the UK, with regional cities as their destination. They are cost-effective places to locate, plus the availability of good-quality staff means service standards and customer satisfaction can be improved. Deutsche Bank has recently moved investment banking jobs up from London to Birmingham. Many banks had put on hold their planned moves because of the financial crisis, but have now started to reconsider again because the expense of London for both property and people. Another example is one of India's biggest outsourcing companies, Aegis, has recently created 600 jobs at its new European headquarters.
So get ready for the renaissance of the region: over the last 20 years, our regional cities have had to completely restructure their economies but, having done so, they are now poised to become some of the best places in the UK to support the businesses of the future.
As a result of this total office occupancy costs across the West Midlands have remained stable in the first half of 2012 and headline rents remained stable in the region. Also new research is showing that residential development land values are rising slowly but steadily, West Midlands has seen a significant resurgence in demand from the mainstream house builders for allocated sites where there is certainty of delivery.
This is all being supported by local projects to help businesses and infrastructure such as in Kidderminster where the secretary of state has confirmed his support for the South Kidderminster Enterprise Park which means Wyre Forest District Council can now offer a simplified planning process within a designated area to speed up the planning process, this to encourage businesses to locate in the area and for existing businesses to expand their operations.
Then there is the regeneration of Dudley's iconic Castle Hill after proposals for a 1,000-space visitor car park was given the green light for funding. This will kick-start the development of a major project to create one single visitor entrance to Dudley Zoological Gardens, Black Country Living Museum and Dudley Canal Trust. It is anticipated the site expansion and additional visitor numbers will create 480 new jobs on the site. The new car park forms part of a wider regeneration scheme set to transform Castle Hill. The plans will almost double visitor numbers to Dudley's major tourists attractions to over one million people each year, create jobs and improve the local economy.
We should not only feel proud of Team GB after their performance at the Olympic but the whole of the UK and our local region for driving us forward and we look forward to more success with the Paralympics.

CEA: Don't Stall the Transition
The head of the Consumer Electronics Association is urging Congress to end the digital-television transition and ignore inflated concerns of broadcasters about the impact on consumers who rely exclusively on free, over-the-air broadcasting.
TV station owners "have used a 'Washington-only' strategy of delaying the cutoff date and seeking restrictions on cable, satellite and TV-set makers (and now they are going after telephone companies who provide video signals)," CEA president Gary Shapiro said in a May 10 letter to House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas).
Barton, who has not introduced legislation, is pressing for a Dec. 31, 2006 transition deadline.
But the National Association of Broadcasters is fighting back, saying Barton's plan would orphan 73 million TV sets not connected to a pay-TV service. Shapiro did not specifically endorse Dec. 31, 2006, only "a hard deadline."
Two days later, in his own letter to Barton intended to rebut some CEA claims, National Association of Broadcasters president Edward Fritts warned that "disenfranchising huge numbers of Americans from access to local TV should not be based on misleading data from a trade group of offshore receiver manufacturers."
In the lengthy letter, Shapiro said 87% of TV homes subscribe to cable or satellite, and these homes should not have any trouble connecting sets with antennas to a pay service as the transition comes to a close.
While some of the 13% of off-air only homes will need assistance to buy a set-top box for their old analog sets after the transition, Shapiro said many consumers elect not to subscribe to cable or satellite not because they are low-income but because TV watching is secondary in their lives.
"Those who do not subscribe to cable or satellite watch, on average, 30% less television per week than cable and satellite subscribers. Nearly six of 10 say television simply is not a high priority for them. Fewer than 30% indicate that insufficient funds play a role in their decisions not to subscribe to television," Shapiro said, citing CEA research on TV viewing habits.
Citing the Government Accountability Office, Fritts said 21 million TV homes, or 19%, are broadcast-only. "That is more homes than are located in the states of Texas, Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Alaska, and Hawaii, combined," Fritts said.

Understanding the big picture when buying a business
Due diligence by a prospective buyer of a business could prevent serious problems in the future, Windsor corporate lawyer Laura Stairs tells AdvocateDaily.com.
Stairs, an associate with Shibley Righton LLP, advises clients that the first step in avoiding pitfalls is to get a copy of the corporate record of the target firm.
"We want to ensure the person the client is dealing with has the authority to make agreements and decisions with respect to the corporation," she says.
"The next thing we look at are the financial statements," Stairs says. "We want to know if this business is profitable, look at the liabilities and debts that are out there and determine whether it's worth investing in."
She says she encourages clients not to enter into any share purchase agreement before having an opportunity to review these types of documents.
"Instead, we often advise them to enter into a Letter of Intent," Stairs says. "This is a document that sets out the general terms, but it is not binding on the parties.
"You want to make sure that it specifically says it is a non-binding agreement, but it allows the potential buyer to undertake a due diligence review," she says. "As a seller, you would want to include a provision in the Letter of Intent that is binding, confirming that any information shared with the potential purchaser is confidential and won't be distributed or used outside the document's terms."

It's pretty amazing when you can combine your favorite hobbies into something pretty incredible…. cooking, gardening and essential oils. While we use essential oils regularly in almost everything we cook up here at home, we also use them in our backyard garden as well as around our home.
If you didn't already know, essential oils can be an incredibly important part of your gardening efforts. While it might be easier these days to turn to chemicals that are sold on store shelves, they are far from safe to use on foods that you are going to be feeding yourself and family.
One of the reasons we spend so much time gardening is because we want to avoid those chemicals that you find on produce sold in store. And while we don't garden for everything, we supplement what we don't grow with food from our local CSA (local, organic produce).
A win for us – good food in the backyard and local produce makes or some healthy kiddos. Essential oils can be used:
- To help plants grow and prosper (companion planting)
- To help attract pollinators and repel unwanted pests
- To help the gardener find relief from their hard efforts spent in the sun
By using essential oils, you'll get a more vibrant plant with much higher yields. I love to compare it to our own body – with the right nutrition and care, we can help strengthen our immune system.
We rely largely on our garden and by taking great care of the plants each day (and asking our kids to chip in and do the same). It makes it a wonderful resource when we need something in a pinch.
Essential Oils for Companion Planting
Just like some plants do well when planted near/next to other plants (companion planting), essential oils can work well for specific plants, too.
If you haven't ever heard of companion planting or done some research, there are some wonderful resources for that online – essential oils are the extracted oils from companion plants that love to grow next to each other.
While this isn't a complete list, here are some of the most popular garden fruits/veggies and their corresponding companion plant that you can use.
When using essential oils for companion plants, add six drops of essential oil to a gallon jug of water. Give it a shake and then pour that mixture into a watering container to water your plants as usual.
Using Essential Oils for Unwanted Pests
Not only can essential oils do well to help you grow your plants strong and healthy, they work wonderfully to help repel critters in the garden. Though we don't always want to repel – so in some cases they can attract the critters that can actually benefit your plants.
Oils like helichrysum, sage, rosemary, marjoram, hyssop, lavender and orange can actually attract bees. While helichrysum, sage, lavender and fennel can attract beautiful butterflies.
Sometimes though, we don't want to attract bees and butterflies – we want to help drive away those critters that can risk nutrient loss in the plants, and repel unwanted pests from the garden.
Fungi can be one of the biggest problems in any garden and can kill plant cells and prevent the plant from getting the nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. One of the best oils to help you support healthy plants is Tea Tree or Melaleuca Essential Oil.
Simply add a few drops to a gallon of water and water directly on your plants a few times each week. Try to avoid using oils on your plants in the hottest part of the day when the sun is at its peak.
Essential Oils for the Gardener
While essential oils can serve as a benefit to companion plants, attract pollinators and repel critters, they can also help the gardener, too.
Being outside in the hot sun for several hours can leave you tired and tested – you may come in with sore muscles, skin that needs soothing, itchy skin, and rough hands… It's rather easy to use them for your own benefit too.
Support healthy skin with Lavender. It can be used for critter bites, and in all purpose salves to help provide some relief.
Cool down with cooling spray by mixing 4 – 5 drops of Peppermint in a spray bottle with 4 oz of purified water. Spritz as needed to cool off when you are working in the heat.
Comfort cream can help support healthy muscles
Seasonal support – use Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint vitality in veggie capsules for relief, or combine Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint essential oil in a diffuser or roller bottle and apply as needed to neck and temples
Create an Itch Stick with essential oils – take 6 drops of each Lavender, and Peppermint and combine in a roller bottle and top off with sweet almond or fractionated coconut oil to provide relief.
Looking for more ways to incorporate Essential Oils in your home and garden? Here are 16 great ways to put them to use in and around your home.

"One danger of social media publicity is that the methodology dictates how a press release is written."
By David P. Kowal
Press releases are becoming as much a social media tool as they are a publicity tool. But how useful are "optimized" and "social media" press releases?
In general, the role of the press release is over-rated. Press releases can still be an effective tool for publicizing breaking news, such as new product announcements, acquisitions and new hires. However, they are not effective for generating publicity in top-tier media.
Top media want exclusivity. A press release tells the reporter that your news is being shared with the world. Top reporters and editors want to be the first to announce news of significance. They generally ignore press releases, unless they get them before general distribution.
Many companies have been using optimized (aka Press Release 2.0) press releases primarily to improve Web site traffic. When wire services are used to distribute press releases, they get wide pick-up by various online sites, ranging from Yahoo Finance to Forbes.com. That increased Web visibility, with links back to your Web site, can be useful. However, such sites are cluttered with press releases that few eyeballs ever see. Check a typical wire service report and you'll find that only a handful of people have viewed your press release.
Optimized and social media press releases are designed to take advantage of the searchability of these online sites. The optimized release should continue to generate publicity; the social media release is an end in itself and assumes that people using the right key word searches will find it. Media pick-up is irrelevant.
While we're skeptical about the effectiveness of optimized and social media press releases, there are valid reasons for adopting many of their features:
- Online media can produce more Web traffic.
- Print media is folding in many cases; even the best publications are losing circulation. Online publishing is a valid alternative.
- Competitors are likely using social media techniques – or will be soon.
Regardless, proceed with caution.
You're Not Michael Jackson
One danger of social media publicity is that the methodology dictates how a press release is written. When, for example, a key word such as "Michael Jackson" is used frequently in a press release, it will help make the release more searchable – but it can be a turnoff for reporters, editors and other readers.
If all aspects of optimization are followed, the final release may be practically unreadable; individuals searching the right terms may find it, but they may not read it.
That said, the following social media tools are worth considering under the right circumstances:
Linked key words. Tools exist for measuring the search popularity of certain terms. Using these key words in press releases with links back to your Web site can help build traffic. One effective key word tool can be found here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
You can also check your key words against search trends here: http://www.google.com/insights/search/#
Of course, you should keep in mind that it's more important to attract quality viewers than it is to attract traffic. Don't, for example, use "Michael Jackson" as a key word if the gloved one has little or nothing to do with the news you're promoting.
Writing. As with key word pages, how we write a press release helps determine how it will show up in a search. The headline and first paragraph are especially important.
Following optimization rules can help a press release attract eyeballs, but if the release follows the rules, it may be so poorly written and redundant, no one will read it. Try to strike a balance.
Other techniques. What else can you do?
It's important to put the press release up on your Web site before sending it out on the wire.
Using a statistic from a study in the lead paragraph can help make the release more search-friendly.
An RSS feed encourages republication of news and lets search engines know there's fresh content on your Web site. An RSS feed would make the release much more likely to be picked up by bloggers and others who get their information via RSS feeds. Some sites, such as Technorati, aggregate information from RSS feeds.
Before considering a social media press release, ask yourself whether the time and cost involved would be better spent on other Web-based promotion, such as developing a blog, adding key word pages or otherwise tweaking your Web site.
Also determine whether your goal is to obtain publicity or to put your release on Web sites that are cluttered with other press releases. The best way to obtain publicity about your company has not changed. Pitching valid news to the right reporters may be hard work, but it will always be more effective that writing a press release that no one will read.

Last night, I drifted off to sleep listening to the Oscars. At some point, I woke up and it was still playing. When they announced Lady Gaga was performing next, I declared it time for bed. Little did I know that JULIE FREAKING ANDREWS would be making an appearance at the end of her performance. Julie Andrews is a goddess angel baby and I would have liked to see the beautiful moment when the entire audience gave her the standing ovation she deserves. I mean, I got to see it on Youtube, and for the record, Gaga rocked it, but it would have been a real life moment. This is why the Oscars don't need to be 5.78 hours long. And on a Sunday night!
When I was younger, I used to watch The Sound of Music over and over again- bless my Nana who watched it with me- but I was an active participant, pretending to be Liesel or Maria, putting on a pretty dress and leaping across my living room while singing as loud as I could. I've probably mentioned this before, but I feel it is a pertinent moment in my life. Julie Andrews is the essence of talent and class.
My love of celebrities battled my love of sleep and sleep won out. Granted, not until after I saw Chris Evans present. It doesn't help that many of my favorites didn't even attend. In that case, my curiosity would have gotten the best of sleep.
Despite keeping me up later than usual, waking up this morning for my workout didn't prove too difficult. It was more of the prospect of stepping outside into the freezing cold world that made things difficult. After a large glass of water, I brewed myself a small cup of coffee and ate a tortilla stuffed with almond butter, banana, and strawberries. I made a few of these, along with a couple of eggs, to be prepared for the week ahead. I did try to mix things up a bit, so you'll see more throughout the week.
My workout today included a kettlebell circuit that got the blood flowing. I ran through 4 sets of 10 reps of swings, deadlifts, high lifts, arrow lunges, and kickback rows. After, I did a few planks- 1.5 minutes for a front plank, 1 minute on each side for side planks. More strength training was on the menu and I did 4 sets of 10 reps of dumbbells- alternating shoulder to knee presses, hammer curls, then shoulder raises, overhead tricep extensions, and bench presses on the stability ball. Nouha joined me, which helped me forget how early it was!
I wanted to take a break from running due to my left foot falling asleep the day before, so I rode the elliptical for a mediocre cardio workout for 20 minutes, followed by 4 minutes on the bike doing a Tabata Interval workout. It was a great workout and an amazing way to start the day!
After coming home and getting ready for the rest of my day, I made an egg and cheese sandwich. One egg, a few pieces of pepper jack cheese, on top of an English muffin, and a side of blueberries and sweet pineapple, made an excellent morning pick-me-up.
It's hard to believe that four of these meatballs are one serving because they are so filling and tasty! On Sunday, I stir fried a bunch of vegetables and brown rice, enough to make two lunches, and took half of it for yesterday's lunch. To go along with these ginger teriyaki chicken meatballs, I sautéed everything in a teriyaki marinade, which was an excellent combination. To complete my meal, I polished off a pear- a recent obsession- and two hershey nuggets. Perfecto!
Dinner provided a medley of flavors and colors. Steak fajitas are one of our favorite meals, which we complemented with peppers, mushrooms, and a salad made of lettuce, carrots, and tomato. For mine, I folded my tortilla in half like a quesadilla and filled it with cheese. I had a couple of spoonfuls of rice to go along with it.

I'll stray a bit from strictly Arizona matters in providing a link to a guest opinion in the Capitol Times wherein Barry Goldwater, Jr. provides a punchy list of failed Federal government schemes, many involving government entry into competition with the private sector. Worth considering now that the idea that health care can be fixed by creation of Government Public Option Insurance Co. has somehow gained currency.
A fair enough digression: the 'blog is named in honor of the elder Goldwater, and Barry Jr., although formerly a member of California's Congressional delegation, now resides in Arizona, remains active in politics, and has his name frequently dropped as a short-lister for Governor or Senator. Seventy-one is younger than it used to be, and he's a classical-liberal, not a nativist paleocon like cousin Don; I'd welcome those campaigns as much as I'd welcome the also-rumored Jeff Flake runs for yet higher office.

You can pre-order Exploration here.....
After years of writing for others, Char decided to write something for herself. Her debut novel fulfills a lifelong dream of creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while.
Char Webster loves living in South Jersey because she feels like it is in the center of everything.
1. What books influenced you growing up that led you to write in the Young Adult paranormal/urban fantasy genre?
One of the first books to leave a lasting memory was,My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett. I completely fell in love with the paranormal world she created. I was swept away by the adventure and have loved dragons ever since.
Lois Duncan was also a very big influence in my life. I had gotten away from reading for a few years when I was young and her novel, The Gift of Magic brought my love of books back. Once again, I was captivated by the paranormal/fantasy genre and magic. Through her books, I also discovered a love for suspense.
2. It looks like your second book is available for pre-order now and is scheduled to release May 17th. Do you have anything special planned for your release day?
I am so excited to be releasing my second book, Exploration. I have an incredible team of people that have been so supportive of my writing. We have a launch party scheduled for that day with an awesome group of authors that are going to help me celebrate. Everyone is invited. We are planning so really cool games and giveaways.
All times are EST!

3. Did you always plan on self-publishing or did you try and find an agent or publisher first?
I discovered the indie world about two years ago and I was amazed by the talented authors that created books I was devouring. I wanted to be a part of that so, when I wrote my first book Discovery, I decided to try self-publishing. I never considered traditional publishing.
4. What have you learned since publishing your first book that you wish you knew when you first started?
Wow. I have learned SO much. For my first book, I wrote my story and then had no idea what to do with it. I started asking all kinds of questions from authors that I admired and respected. I knew that Amazon and Create Space were the way I wanted to go so I uploaded my files. I had no idea that the kindle version would go live right away. Suddenly, I had a book for sale online that I didn't promote or advertise or even let anyone know I had written it.
My friends and family were shocked and I was in a daze trying to get people to be interested in my writing. I thought that if you write a book, people will just start to read it. I had no idea how much time and promotion was needed to get even one person interested.
I now have an amazing PA who has taught me a lot about the indie book community. I learned that people actually do judge a book by its cover, so my first book underwent a makeover. I love the new cover.
My second book was handled very differently. We started off with a cover reveal and created teasers. I have an awesome editor who has helped me to polish my writing. I also figured out how to do a pre-order for the book instead of just uploading it right away. This time I asked beta readers provide feedback that ended up being so valuable. I am really looking forward to this new book being released.
5. I couldn't help but notice that you have received a lot of fantastic reviews on your first book. What's the secret to getting reviews?
I love the indie community and the support that everyone shows each other. I have made a lot of friends through our mutual love of reading. My team and I work hard every day to get my book noticed. I participate in every Facebook event I can possibly attend. I interact with tons of people every day. I support blog events.
I am available to anyone who wants to chat with me and I listen to all opinions. Not everyone is going to love my writing. As much as it can hurt to get criticism, it is also so very helpful because I try to learn from everything people say. I always encourage everyone to let me know what they think of my books.
