After gathering comments and support from the association community for the past few weeks, ASAE has crafted its comments to the Office of Government Ethics expressing our concern over their language mis-identifying the role of trade associations in public life. You can find the ASAE comments here, as well as our accompanying fact sheet on this proposed rule here.
While we encourage you to submit your own comments to OGE, our goal is to have a large number of associations, business partners, and travel organizations join ASAE in our comments as well to show the Obama Administration the value of association meetings and events, particularly for federal employees. While we recognize that exemptions have been built in for different types of associations and meetings, the fact that the proposed rule singles out trade associations with stricter restrictions and then fails to give any examples or guidelines for organizations planning these events is concerning.
We urge you to sign on to our comments (you can do so via our webform here, Microsoft Word document here or pdf document here) as well as submit your own comments to the Office of Government Ethics with your own stories. The deadline for signatures to ASAE's comments is Tuesday, October 18 by close of business. If you have any questions, please contact the Public Policy Department at (202) 626-2703 or email@example.com.

Recycling & Waste Management - AlGrass
"As part of the "Al Grass" initiative, which is a challenging Socio-Environment project aiming to promote volunteerism and participation through Reduced consumption of resources; Recycling of these resources; Managing wastes, Observing contribution to carbon footprint and finally Promoting greenery, around 3,000 employees at Dubai Customs are committed to replace their desk trash bins with recycling containers and boxes to be distributed and placed at different department and sections throughout the organization. This is a first of its kind campaign by a government organization, which aims to promote volunteerism, community engagement and environment protection.
In continuation to the Al Grass Recycling campaign, a second phase was also launched at the end of 2012 which comes in-line with our strategy of using greener and cleaner technologies. This initiative is planned and developed by the DC IT Department with an aim to introduce a uniform and consistent approach to the allocation, access and usage of printers in order to provide a more cost effective, flexible and reliable solution and at the same time minimize the environmental impact of the organization. The objective of this campaign is to introduce and implement a habitual culture of saving papers and printer-ink among all employees within the organization. This can be done by simply avoiding unnecessary printing, copying and promoting electronic filing.

A Custom FitPosted: January 31st, 2010 | Author: Katie | Filed under: Simple Solutions | 5 Comments »
Projects for us just seem to start as a conversation. Then they build…quickly and literally.
See, we have a fireplace and two large windows that frame it. It has always been tricky to find something that fits next to the fireplace to hold the technology that we need and use as storage too. We have used a couple different pieces but recently my brother and sister-in-law built 2 long bookshelves to the sides of their fireplace and it got my husbands wheel's turning. And when that happens it doesn't really ever stop. He bought the wood last Monday worked on one that evening, the second one he took four 5 minute increments of time out of his work day and one 20 minute work session to finish and then I was presented with this:
So I got to work:
And since I was working a night shift – I pulled out my big gun.
I'm telling you, this headlamp, (actually given to my son by his cousin) was a LIFE SAVER! It spotted all those hard to see places where you think that you have put on enough paint but you really haven't. Plus, I felt like a miner.
And to give it the true built in look, he added the same tall baseboards from our fireplace along with routing the top and it was complete!
And in order to hide all those obnoxious little cords - we used a Belkin outlet surge protector from Home Depot.
Can you see them behind there? Gotta love that!
So here is the living room succession up to date…

We temporarily took a break from blogging these past few months to focus on a business venture but we are finally back to do what we love and we'd like to thank you for your continuous support! – lots of love, JR and Kathy
If you have been reading our blog for some time, you would have noticed how much we are in love with Japanese cuisine. We adore how the Japanese keep their food simple yet incredibly satisfying. If not eating sushi around Metro Manila (or even a few times in Japan), we can often be found at Kimukatsu located at the Century City Mall, having our katsu fix. During one of our visits, another restaurant piqued our interest; it was Le Petit Soufflé.
Also read: 25 Layers of Juiciness: Kimukatsu Review
Le Petit Soufflé: Located at the third floor of the Century City Mall
We heard good feedback about Le Petit Soufflé a few years back but never really thought of dining there. Maybe we weren't as open to trying out new things as we are now. Another factor leading to our decision to go there was my eagerness to have a seat near the trellises by the window (it's a perfect spot for Instagram, guys! #morningchill).
We went on a weekday morning and were thrilled to have the place to ourselves as it is usually full during weekends. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with the warm, invigorating, and happy tones of yellow and green. It's as if we were having an al fresco brunch at the comfort of home.
The brick wall design brings out the homey feel
This space right here will be approved by my "tita" friends for our next date
"Tita" is the Tagalog term for an aunt. For Filipino millenials, it could also mean as someone who likes to talk with friends over tea, coffee, or wine usually at a nice and dainty (sometimes fancy) café.
Browsing through the menu, we looked for the usual suspects (sushi, tonkatsu, and ramen) but found none. Instead, we were greeted by their unique selection with familiar flavors from both Japanese and French cuisines.
We started our meal with Kinoko Frites. These are deep fried enoki and oyster mushrooms – tossed in matcha salt and served with tonkotsu mayo. JR found them to be a bit filling for an appetizer and noted that he didn't taste the matcha salt. He also didn't find anything special with the tonkotsu mayo. I, on the other hand, as an avid fan of mushrooms, happily munched on them without any complaints.
Kinoko Frites – P250. Made for mushroom lovers
Next, we had the Sesame Crusted Tuna Salad. The lightly seared, fresh slices of tuna made this salad stand out. Sesame seeds added an interesting texture without overpowering the tuna. The sesame-wasabi dressing also went well with the delicate greens with just a hint of spiciness. Oh, and did I mention it also had shimeji mushrooms?
Sesame Crusted Tuna Salad – P265 (Personal), P375 (Family). Seared tuna loin, garden greens, shimeji mushrooms, tobiko, and bonito flakes. Served with sesame-wasabi dressing
Of course, we had to try their Classic French Onion Soup. As someone who loves onion (but not as much as I love mushrooms), I couldn't resist this comforting pot of caramelized onion and bacon topped with a slice of bread, gratinated gruyere and emmental cheese. Surprisingly, I didn't enjoy it as much as expected. I found the broth to be a bit strong and asked JR to finish my serving. He didn't seem to mind.
Classic French Onion Soup – P250
Perhaps the dish that we both enjoyed the most was the Smoked Salmon Benedict. Generous slices of smoked salmon over toasted brioche buns, topped with poached eggs and dill-infused hollandaise sauce. The runny yolk made the dish extra creamy without weighing it down. It was so good that we forgot to take a picture of the yolk gracing the whole dish as we started digging-in right after breaking the egg.
Smoked Salmon Benedict – P635. A hearty breakfast meal available all-day.
Their freshly made Crafted Iced Teas were served in a measuring cup with a mesh filter. We had Yakult Guava (yes, that's Yakult) and Forest Berries. Both were delicious and not ridiculously sweet, unlike the typical iced tea served at other restaurants. Also, who would have thought that measuring cups could be so cute? I'd like to have my drinks served this way from now on!
Yakult Guava – P225 (Single), P425 (Carafe)
When pouring something feels like an amazing task. Ah, the joy of simple things in life.
Forest Berries – P225 (Single), P425 (Carafe)
Le Petite Souffle's Foie Gras Mac and Cheese is one of the most savory mac and cheese we've tasted. Their version is made with sharp cheddar and gooey mozzarella, shimeji mushrooms (to my delight), and hungarian sausage, topped with seared foie gras. The foie gras melts beautifully in your mouth but it is something that we would limit in consuming (for health reasons).
Foie Gras Mac and Cheese – P725
We usually don't order carbonara when dining out because few restaurants serve an authentic one. JR usually just cooks it for me at home. However, we made an exception as it looked so pretty! We also read good reviews about the LPS Carbonara Soufflé and it certainly did not disappoint. The bacon was crispy, the "egg cloud" was carefully prepared with the yolk still runny, and the pasta was cooked al dente. The cheese also provided the right amount of saltiness.
LPS Carbonara Soufflé – P385
An authentic carbonara is actually made with guanciale or pancetta (but bacon is a cheaper substitute), cheese (pecorino or parmigiano), and raw eggs instead of cream.
Another dish that we usually don't order at restaurants is steak. Don't get us wrong, we love steak but it's not exactly budget friendly! So JR would also cook it at home when we want to eat something fancy (yes, I'm a lucky wife). Since we were having a great time, we decided to give their steak a try. It was well-seasoned and tender and aptly paired with the frites.
Steak and Frites – P1450
There were so many choices for dessert but we opted for the Valrhona Guanaja Soufflé, one of their bestsellers. Made with Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate, it is a bittersweet, warm, and airy soufflé paired with a light, and mildy sweet vanilla creme. We also ordered a coffee because what is #morningchill without a hot cup of good brew?
Valrhona Guanaja Soufflé – P350
Cafe Latte – P150
All the dishes were as delicious as they looked in the menu. We loved how the flavors – although unusual, worked perfectly well to tickle our taste buds. We over-ordered and spent three hours at Le Petit Soufflé to finish everything. But it was worth it! If there's only two of you, you're good to go with two or three dishes. Make sure to save room for their incredible selection of desserts! Kudos to Chef Miko Aspiras and his partners for the success of Le Petit Soufflé!

Earlier this morning on my drive to work.... the car in front of me braked
*mutters* Why do people brake on the highway? You just need to stop accelerating and voila the car slows down. I just don't understand why they keep pressing on the brake pedal for no reason.
Oh he's still braking, maybe there's traffic on the road *grumble*
Maybe it's wise to brake as well
But the car seems to still be getting closer
And a bit more closer *worries*
At this point I was really pressing hard on the brake pedal.
Oh the ABS went on, that's a good thing right...
Or not?!
I'm getting too close now, *groan* he has a new car, one of those hybrid cars. Don't they have the engine at the back? Will that mean if I bump in him the damage inflicted will be larger?
And what about the car behind me?
Looks out of the rear view mirror
Ok there's at least one thing going good.
My car did stop a couple of metres away from the car in front of me but by that time my body was pumped with adrelanine!
All this took around 2 seconds. Man my brain can think really quickly!

Let's kick off these reviews with something fun! I am going to try my best to give a balanced review, but the desire to squee is strong. That is because today I'm going to be talking about Kingsman: The Secret Service, the recent spy film by Matthew Vaughn.
The first thing you need to know is that Kingsman isn't your typical spy flick. Inspired by elements of Mark Millar's comic The Secret Service, it goes boldly in a different direction that it's genre generation. Recent spy movies are all "gritty" and "realistic", which is good in its own way, but it can get a bit…well, boring. Not in the moment, mind you, but the overall experience doesn't stand out as much. Most of what I love about Kingsman is that it takes a completely different approach. This movie knows what it is and it doesn't try to be anything else.
So, what is this movie, then? It is a beautiful homage to how spy movies used to be. You know how they were, equal parts theatrical, ridiculous, and fabulous. Kingsman lives up to that legacy, never taking itself seriously and entertaining us through every single minute. The comic elements, especially the way key shots mimic the framing of comics, adds to campiness in a delightful way. The overall feel is strongly reminiscent of the old movies that inspired it, but uniquely fun and endearing. It's a whole lot of fun in a 2 hour package.
I am not generally one to wax poetic about the performances of actors, but it bears mentioning that the actors did a great job of adding that little extra touch that helps sell the whole story. Colin Firth of course did a spectacular job of reminding us how gentlemanly a Gentleman Spy ought to be, while kicking some major ass (in a beautiful suit with an umbrella I would sell a kidney for…) in perfectly British fashion. Michael Caine anchored the movie's setting with the all stodginess one would expect in a British aristocratic society. Samuel L. Jackson was fabulous, adding a lot of sympathy to a character without ever loosing focus on the fact that this man is absolutely psychotic. All of this was held together by Taron Egerton, a new comer to my sphere of the world, who managed to balance all of this action, intensity, and comedy with the fact that our hero is a 20-something young man living in a world that is neglecting his generation.
Now you may have noticed how all those names up there were men. That because I'm saving my favorites for last. The trailers don't really let on how kick ass Sophie Cookson is as Roxy is during the movie, but she is awesome. They did cop out a little and try to humanize there character with a "quirky flaw", but at least this time it's fear of heights instead of clumsiness. In all other ways, I thought she did beautifully. She kicks ass, doesn't even for a second try to be anyone's love interest, and keeps up with the boys 100% of the way. Frankly, I wish the movie had been more about her and given her more time to develop, but the part she played was lovely.
The character I was really impressed with was Gazelle, played by Sophia Boutella. The trailers show her bouncing around like an angry ninja chinchilla, hacking through guys and generally being badass. But my favorite part isn't that she is so terrifyingly cool. It's that this woman, who has a clear disability, doesn't bring it up once. She goes so far past not feeling sorry for herself, that it isn't brought up at all, in any way. She is so bad ass that I questioned whether she overcame a disability or decided that having blades instead of feet would increase her lethality and just had them replaced voluntarily. She has transcended her limitations and become the murderous love child of a chinchilla and a Cuisinart. She is equal parts inspiring and horrifying, and I absolutely loved it.
Also, this little cutie has a special role, and that made me all kinds of happy.
Now, this isn't to say that I felt Kingsman was without flaws. I was a little disappointed in the representation of people of color, because aside from one unnamed friend, the only two people of color were the main villains. Now, I can largely give the movie a pass, because it never feels like that really matters to those characters as people or their motivations as villains. I would still have liked it if a few more of the characters had been anything other than white, but that can't be changed now.
I also would have liked if the sexual references had not been described quite so thoroughly and if Princess Tilde had kept her clothes on for the whole movie. These two things comprise maybe 30 seconds of the movie, but they fall at the very end. I was just a little disappointed that when the movie had been going along so innocently, everyone was allowed to stay dressed, suddenly some girl is naked and another thing is added to the list of Things I Can't Unsee. It's not a big issue, but it irked a little.
So my ratings overall:
Plot: 3
Action: 5
Fun: 5
Campiness: 5
Representation: 2
Now, stop reading and go see this movie.

LOUISE Redknapp was pictured leaving the Brits with a male pal after a wild night out at the awards bash.
The former Eternal singer is single following her divorce from husband Jamie after 18 years of marriage last December.
The 43-year-old looked chic in sheer black dress with multicoloured detailing after ditching the outfit that landed her on the worst dressed list earlier in the night.
She accessorised with silver stilettos and was all smiles as she left the Warner Music and Ciroc Vodka bash on Wednesday night.
Her companion appeared to put a protective arm around her as he guided her to the waiting car.
He looked dapper in a maroon blazer and navy chinos and held open the door for her as she stepped into the car.
The mum-of-two's attendance at the bash comes after she announced that she'd signed a new record deal with Warner.
Last month, she excitedly shared snaps of her posing in front of the iconic sign and pictures of her signing the contract.
In the aftermath of her divorce, Louise has been keeping busy with her fashion blog, A Style Album and has been working on brand new material in the studio.
Louise is currently touring her Intimate & Live show after her first headline solo gig in over 15 years sold out in under ten minutes in December 2017.
Speaking about being back on tour, Louise said: "I hadn't played a headline show for 15 years and taking to the stage again filled me with so many emotions from nerves to sheer joy.
"All my family and friends were so supportive and it was wonderful to see so many there too.
"The atmosphere in the room was absolutely incredible and I was so moved by the amazing response from fans young and old."

Modernizing configure, price, and quote (CPQ) solutions
Lengthy sales cycles often cause customer churn resulting in the depletion of an enterprise's bottom line. In the absence of a CPQ solution, it takes longer to generate quotes as various departments need to collaboratively finalize details, which drastically slows the pace of creating winning quotes. Due to the inherent slowness of the entire process, clients can get frustrated and move to 'greener pastures.' Another problem is that product information resides in multiple systems and this leads to the absence of a single source of truth, which causes errors, rework, and ultimately delays.
Today, it is imperative for sales teams to provide consistent and accurate information on pricing, product mix, and availability to customers -- quickly, from anywhere, and across multiple channels. Oracle Configure, Price, and Quote Cloud (Oracle CPQ Cloud) enables sales teams to optimize complex selling processes quickly and accurately. Hence, it delivers an unprecedented customer experience and transforms sales processes by:
· Shortening sales cycles through faster customer enquiry responses, reduced quotation time, and one-click quote to order conversion
· Eliminating errors in quotation process
· Providing price consistency across multiple product lines
· Increasing order volumes through up-sell and cross-sell opportunities
The idea is to bring order management to the front office and enable sales teams to create orders instantly and in front of clients, leading to faster deal closures.

Bill Armstrong, President of Norwich Cruse attended and gave a speech about the work our volunteers do and how crucial it is for us to work with local groups and organisations to raise funds so we can continue to operate locally.
The event raised an incredible £680! We are extremely grateful to the Norwich Centenary Rotary Club who worked really hard to run such a successful event.
17th October 2018
We would like to say a huge thank you to the East of England Co-op who recently selected us for their Community Token Scheme in eight local stores. You and your customers raised a grand sum of £800 which will be used to support local bereaved people.
20th September 2018
The Leathes Prior Charity and Community Projects committee completed the Three Peaks Challenge in September to raise funds for Norwich Cruse and two other local charities.
The team travelled to Yorkshire on Friday 14th September, following a day at the office; they arrived at their hostel for the weekend in Ingleton at 12.15am. After three to four hours sleep, the team were up at 5.00am for toast and porridge, before kitting themselves out with their walking gear and backpacks containing a minimum of two litres of water, sandwiches and an abundance of sugary snacks.
The first peak, Ingleborough, was about seven miles of walking and the team found it to be the most difficult, with three of the team taking a tumble on the descent. The second peak, Pen-y-Ghent was a shorter, yet steeper walk which involved lots of climbing – not something the team had initially envisaged would be such a big part of the challenge. The team found the third peak, Whernside, to be relentless with a long and slow climb to the top in extremely thick fog. The group started to split and everyone seemed in agreement that this peak provided the challenge's toughest mental test, as they struggled to see the person in front of them or how far they had still to go. When the team finally tackled the third peak, they then faced a gruelling descent down vertical drops of muddy rocks. Once back on flat ground they completed a final two mile walk to Chapel-le-Dale, where they finally got to enjoy a drink in the local pub to celebrate completing the challenge!
The challenge was to complete the three peaks in 12 hours, which they safely and successfully completed, and impressively four members of the team managed to complete the 25 miles in just eight hours and 51 minutes!
The team has raised over £6,500 so far, which is an incredible result and we would like to thank everyone who took part in such a gruelling challenge to help raise funds for Norwich Cruse. We are extremely appreciative of your efforts.
27th July 2018
Coffee Morning
A coffee morning held on 27th July at St Nicholas Church Hall in North Walsham raised more than £125 for Norwich Cruse. We would like to say a big thank you to St Nicholas Church and to Norwich Cruse volunteers Elizabeth, Mary and Shirley for organising.
Hatch Brenner Picnic
We joined our supporters, Hatch Brenner Solicitors on Friday 27th July to mark the first ever Norfolk Day. Staff from the organisations came together for a picnic in Chapelfield Gardens and attendees were asked to bring Norfolk-themed savoury and sweet treats to share. A picnic hamper including tickets to the Proms in the Park at Blickling Hall and picnic blanket was raffled off and raised £130 on the day.
13th July 2018
We are pleased to announce that the East of England Co-op have selected Norwich Cruse for their Community Token Scheme in eight stores throughout Norfolk for the next three months. The campaign will start on Monday 16th July and we'll feature in the following stores:

Cruse Bereavement Care in Norwich are delighted to have been chosen to be Civic Charity of the year by Norwich's new Lord Mayor Judith Lubbock and Sheriff William Armstrong
Norwich Cruse offers confidential support to people who have suffered the loss of someone close, and has had many changes within the past year. The charity recently relocated to new premises, which marked a big step forward.
Heather Griffin, Area Co-ordinator for Cruse said: "We had to find a new venue to operate from at quite short notice. Our incredible team of volunteers worked very hard to ensure that our service was not disrupted in any way despite the move, as many local people are depending on our support at a very difficult time in their lives. Volunteers worked many extra hours to prepare the new counselling rooms, and even took on extra clients.
"We are now supporting even more bereaved people from Norwich than we have in previous years, and are busy recruiting a number of wonderful new volunteers. To have been chosen as the new Civic Charity is a huge boost for our fantastic team."
William Armstrong, new Sheriff of Norwich, has spoken of the value of the work that Cruse does within the local community: "As former Coroner, I know first-hand of their excellent work in supporting those facing the trauma of bereavement. It can be so important to provide the right help at the right time to enable the bereaved to move on and rebuild their lives. They have a team of dedicated and expertly trained volunteers who can make such a difference."

Great lamb pie - Weds special $20. And Belgian beer is always best from the tap
Awesome mussels n beers
Really nice food, staff super friendly! Defiantly recommend especially if you have a football game to watch in the morning because they put it on !!
Great place to unwind after work or meeting friends - friendly staff and great beer and food (then I am biased, my wife is Belgian)
Tries to pull some kind of "Belgian" vibe, but the staff have no idea what they're doing, just drop the act and be a regular pub.
Begians beer are the best!
Try the Steamed Mussels Pot - 1kg of steamed fresh mussels in pot with Lobster Bisque and Brandy favor. Excellent!!
Amazing mussels!!!
Leffe Blonde is wonderful. And a small order of Belgian frite is ample for two people.
Coconut milk and curry mussels are great! + a glass of cold chardonnay

The Brownsville Police Department has released a police report and narrative that details what led to the Sept. 2 arrest of Brownsville Independent School District Board Trustee Erasmo Castro Jr. on a DWI charge.
The Brownsville Herald requested the report under the Texas Public Information Act.
According to the report, officers responded to East Morrison Road and Stagecoach Trail at 1:05 a.m. in reference to a traffic accident.
When officers arrived at the scene they found a 2016 Fiat with damage to the driver's side and a flat tire. According to the report, the Fiat belonged to Castro. The report states the Fiat was off the road and sitting on grass.
Another vehicle was also at the location and the officers were told the individuals inside the second vehicle had pulled over to see if the driver of the Fiat needed assistance.
According to the report the driver of the Fiat was identified as Castro and he was found sitting in the back seat of the car. The reporting officer wrote, "As I made contact with Castro I observed he had slurred speech and a moderate smell of metabolized alcohol emitting from his person."
Castro told the reporting officer that he was not involved in an accident. Rather, his car had stalled on the side of the road, the report states. He told the officer he was coming from Pokey's Planet where he "had consumed only one glass of wine."
According to the report, Castro continued to state he was not involved in an accident and that his vehicle had been driving fine with the damage and flat tire.
Castro was asked to get out of the vehicle and the officer observed the BISD trustee had an unsteady balance, the report indicated.
The report states that Castro consented to perform the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.
During one of the tests, the officer observed Castro would "sway side to side as he stood with his feet together."
The report also states that Castro was unable to properly perform the Walk and Turn Test and the One Leg Stand.
On the Walk and Turn Test, the officer wrote, "I observed that Castro missed heel-to-toe on several steps and took the wrong number of steps."
On the One Leg Stand, the officer wrote "I observed Castro use his arm to maintain balance. Castro also placed his foot on the ground repeatedly to prevent from falling."
The officer wrote, "Based on my professional experience and observations made during the SFSTs, Castro was placed in custody for Suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated." He was read his Miranda Warnings in English.
Castro was then transported to the city jail where he was read his Statutory Warnings.
According to the report, Castro refused to provide a specimen of his breath and blood. A search warrant for a specimen of Castro's blood was requested and signed by Municipal Judge Phil Bellamy. Castro was transported to Valley Baptist Medical Center where a phlebotomist collected his blood. He was then taken back to the city jail where he was booked on the charge.
The blood kit was booked into the evidence locker and the Fiat was impounded. The report states, "On a Facebook search, Castro had posted at 11:32 p.m. that he was at Doghouse with friends and his brother." The photos were attached to the report.
Castro was charged with one count of DWI, a Class B Misdemeanor, and posted a $1,500 bond.
Hours after his arrest Castro wrote on his Facebook Page, "Early this morning I was detained. Because it's an ongoing case I can't comment on it. I ask my family and friends for your patience. I understand if you opt to unfriend me."
Castro was elected as a trustee for the Brownsville Independent School District in November 2018.

Asked by mina
What Side Effects Does Depakine Chrono Have?
My daugther currently takes Depakine Chrono - 500mg, but I am concerned about the side effects. What kind of side effects should I look out for in my daughter?
Hey, Mina. Depakine Chrono is the trade name used by the pharmaceutical company Sanofli to market valproic acid (or sodium valproate) in various parts of the world. In the US, Abbot markets a similar compound (divalproex sodium) under the trade name, Depakote. The drug is a pharmaceutical salt originally used to treat epilepsy, then later approved to treat bipolar disorder.
The drug is regarded as a "mood stabilizer," along with other mood stabilizers such as Lamictal and Neurontin, together with the natural salt lithium. Essentially, the drug helps slow down the brain, which makes it useful in treating mania, both to ease an episode and to prevent an episode. Though it has no demonstrated effect in treating depression, it is regarded as a mainstay med for bipolar.
There is a risk that the drug may effect: liver function. Blood tests are required from time to time to ensure that the liver is not affected.
More common side effects are weight gain and cognitive dulling. In the short term, these effects may be considered fair trade-offs until an individual is stabilized. Over the long term, however, physicians tend to err on the side of over-dosing, so it is up to you to be your own advocate. You and your doctor need to work together in finding that "just right" sweet spot.
Different people react to the drug in different ways, so what works for one person may not work for another. You will find a lot more about the drug by Googling "Depakote" rather than "Depakine."
Please note: I'm am not an MD. This is general information only.

Hurricane Michael: What to expect and when in Tallahassee, Leon County on Tuesday
Gov. Scott updates on Hurricane Michael (Oct. 9) Tallahassee Democrat
Where is Hurricane Michael?
Hurricane Michael has strengthened into a Category 2 storm, with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 a.m. forecast.
Additional strengthening is expected as Michael churns north through the Gulf of Mexico and makes an anticipated landfall along the North Florida coast on Wednesday.
Where will Michael make landfall?
Michael is expected to continue strengthening as it moves over the warm Gulf waters and make landfall as a dangerous major Category 3 hurricane on Wednesday.
The storm was expected to intensify as it entered warmer waters with a decrease in wind shear.
"Regardless of the eventual track and intensity of Michael, life-threatening storm surge inundation is expected along portions of the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend/Nature Coast," forecaster Jack Beven wrote.
National Weather Service Tallahassee Meteorologist Katie Nguyen said an eastward shift in Michael's path will bring higher winds closer to home and storm surge that will inundate the coastline.
Will Hurricane Michael be like Irma, Hermine, Kate or the "The Great Middle-Florida Hurricane of 1851" Tallahassee Democrat
What will be the impact on the coastline?
As much as 8 to 12 feet of storm surge is forecast to hit the Panhandle and Big Bend and could remain through Friday evening.
"The shift eastward will mean that the Tallahassee area will have a higher chance for those higher winds and also means Apalachee bay will have higher storm surge," she said. "That coastline is particularly prone to flooding because of the shallowness and the shape pf the coastline."
She predicted tropical storm force wins would be felt starting Wednesday morning with higher tropical storm force winds coming in the afternoon.
Monday Wakulla County officials issued a mandatory evacuation for all low-lying and coastal areas south of U.S. Highway 98.
What's open and closed in the Big Bend?
Schools, businesses and government agencies are taking precautions ahead of Hurricane Michael.
A full list of closures can be found here.
Gov. Rick Scott issues updates on Hurricane Michael from the EOC in Pensacola Tallahassee Democrat
Have there been evacuations?
Swaths of the Gulf coastline has been ordered to evacuate. The gallery below includes Leon County as well as other Panhandle countiues.

Yes, I'm wired (and wireless!) seven ways til Sunday – ipods + macbooks + smartphones – it's all about information, headlines, articles, being informed, and in touch 24/7. But during my week of D&D I've gotten back in touch with the simple joys in life. It's shocking to find out how easy it is to get hooked on the littlest things:
* a plate of perfectly Fluffy Eggs – gotta have 'em! I like my eggs surrounded by ripe berries, flaky honey butter biscuits, and a side of veggie sausage patties :9
* deliciously fresh Caprese salads! I hate it when this dish it ordered at a restaurant and only 5 slices of tomatoe/mozeralla/basil deliciousness come out. As you can see from the picture above, I don't skiMP on the good stuff!!! Truly, I could eat this dish every friggin' day if I didn't stop myself.
* a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats with the oh-so-blue blueberry! I need a dose of this fix anytime day or night. 😀

Justin Trudeau. The name shouldn't be unfamiliar to anyone who follows the internet and it's never ending craze for the awesome people.
Justin Trudeau is just that. The Canadian PM, son the former Canada PM Pierre Trudeau, is undoubtedly the coolest politician in the world. Besides his radical governance approach and down to earth personality, Trudeau is one with the people. Trudeau has the same crazy interests and behaviour as any of us and he's never shy about showing off his geeky side.
And of course, most importantly, he is quite a fitness freak. Trudeau is best known for his skills in the boxing ring. Trudeau mentions the importance of being fit as any individual and not just as a public figure.
In an interview, Trudeau states that his main form of exercise is to run and has been boxing for nearly 20 years now.
While being a member of parliament has earned him his fair share of limelight back in the day, Trudeau got the attention during a charity boxing match between him and Canadian Senator Patrick Brazeau, who he knocked out despite being at a weight disadvantage. Brazeau also had a history in the military and martial arts.
Trudeau running a 5k with the members of the Canadian Royal Navy.

Trudeau and Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto having a friendly jog along the streets of Ottawa in between the North American Leaders' Summit.
In recent times, his popularity rocketed outside the Canadian state with his social media posts. Trudeau's social media handle and photographers have done an impeccable job at not only winning him the election, but also gain popularity worldwide.

— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) April 8, 2013
The craze started about with Trudeau recreating the Peacock (Mayurasana) Yoga pose done by his father.
The pose requires great core strength and overall physical strength and balance.
Also, Trudeau is a Yogi. Have we mentioned that?
Two days back Trudeau was filmed kayaking down the Niagara River to commemorate World Environment Day.
Justin Trudeau just kayaked up to my house and talked to my parents? classic pic.twitter.com/gktVekiTMZ
— carrie robinson (@carrierobinson_) June 5, 2017
The event was an attempt to creating awareness towards sustainable development and to protect the planet for the future generations. During the event he met many other participants and engaged with them.
Trudeau recently stated his disappointment after US pulled out the Paris Climate Deal saying it's a collective responsibility to 'Make our planet great again!' He also reassured that Canada will continue to fight to protect the planet.
Besides governing a country, Trudeau sure does give a lot of importance to fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. There have been countless other encounters by citizens where Trudeau randomly springs up during his runs and other activities.
Keeping fit is no strange concept to politicians. In fact many politicians including former British PM David Cameron, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Tony Abbott.
Cameron jogs around the streets of London twice or thrice a week.
Hillary Clinton states she practices Yoga to keep herself fit while Obama plays quite a bit of basketball in his downtime.
Tony Abbott is said to ride his bike for a few kilometres every morning. He also surfs.
Narendra Modi, needless to say, is big time Yogi. He practices everyday without fail along with sessions of meditation.
This goes to show, you just need the will to stay fit and just work upon it. Don't let the corporate busy lifestyle hold you back. Stay fit.

By her own account, Ms Laetitia Wong (above) was, academically, a late bloomer.
Studying was not always the polytechnic graduate's forte, until it was time to earn her degree, she says.
After seven months as an intern reporter at a free news tabloid, coupled with various stints as a writer for school publications, Ms Wong knew she wanted to work in an industry where she would not only be able to write, but also communicate with people from all walks of life.
It was then that the 22-year-old felt ready to go back to school and earn the degree that she hoped would open doors for her in the industry.
She pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Communication & Media Studies and Public relations double major programme with Murdoch University through Kaplan.
Students with polytechnic diplomas, as well as Kaplan and Murdoch University-recognised private diplomas, can qualify for direct entry into year 2 of the programme. They can complete the course in 16 months instead of 28 months — she completed hers in 18 months.
Ms Wong, who earned high distinctions for most of her modules, says the practical aspects of the course appealed to her.
"I liked that the programme was structured in a flexible manner. For example, I could mix and match modules, and take on as many or as little as my time allowed," she explains.
It helped that the locations of Kaplan's four campuses are central and easily accessible by public transport, as she knew she would continue to work while studying for her degree.
Now a community executive at Level3, a new workspace that supports emerging start-ups and entrepreneurs, Ms Wong says her course has prepared her well for the demands of the job.
Her role requires her to create content for social media and interact with the workspace community to understand their needs better, among others.
She says: "The course was facilitated by experienced lecturers and trainers from relevant industries.
"For example, we learnt about public relations from a lecturer who had over 15 years of experience in the industry.
"Our lecturers passed on their skills and experiences to us, and were generally wiling to share relevant contacts when we requested for them."
Ms Wong also felt that many assignments and group projects were realistic and could be implemented in the industry.
In fact, her project for the Campaign Management module, for which her group designed and presented a comprehensive social media campaign for the Singapore red Cross, will be implemented by the organisation this year.
The programme structure and the conducive environment at Kaplan helped her become more disciplined and independent too.
"We had to do everything ourselves, including taking the initiative to do extra research and printing our own notes," she says. In fact, Ms Wong discovered a "hunger for success" she was unaware of.
"I didn't know what I wanted and wasn't interested in studies, but I'm now really passionate about my work and want to continue learning to improve myself," she adds.

Project Overview
Growing Local – Phase II
Annual Reports
- Sustainable Communities: local and regional food systems, social capital, social networks
In Phase 2 of Growing Local, ASAP's Local Food Research Center conducted surveys and interviews with farmers, food industry buyers, and consumers and completed analyses of data from the Census of Agriculture and ASAP's Local Food Guide database. The research revealed the important role of place-based food and farm experiences for driving interest and demand for local food, identified strategies for farmers to use to build their farm brand and customer bases, and identified findings relevant for food buyers and entrepreneurs navigating increasing consumer demand for local food as well as increasing consumer skepticism of retailer claims.
Project objectives:
- Conduct research with farmers and food buyers/entrepreneurs to document ways they are navigating and creating the food system's emerging and shifting terrain – the opportunities and challenges they encounter, the decisions and innovations they employ in the context of shifting opportunities and constraints.
- Conduct a full analysis of the 2012 Census of Agriculture data for Western North Carolina (in comparison to 1997, 2002, and 2007 data) – focus on indicators related to tobacco production and sales, fruit and vegetable production, and direct to consumer sales
- Conduct research with shoppers at farmers markets and with attendees of other local food- and farm-related events to determine the impacts of these experiences on participants. Are these experiences promoting a democratization of the food system by increasing awareness and knowledge of food and agriculture, facilitating interaction and dialogue between participants about food and agriculture, building participants' capacities to take actions that will affect change in the food system, and building an orientation among participants toward the public good? And what kinds of actions are movement participants taking?
- Collate and analyze data from ASAP's Growing Minds farm to school work, which uses place-based food and farm education and experience to create environments in schools that model healthy eating behaviors to kids, teachers, and staff.
- Conduct reviews of emerging literature relevant to local food system development. Focus key areas of literature review on social movement theory (e.g., stages of development, coalescence, collapse, lessons from other social movements), the sociology and psychology of changing individuals' perceptions and practices, the true "cost" of food, social capital measures, and the concern-action gap.

When Apple removed the headphone jack on the iPhone — prompting other phone makers to follow suit — things looked pretty grim. But they softened the blow with the introduction of AirPods, a pair of earbuds that brought the notion of "true wireless" to the mainstream.
Now that they're part of the accessories space, you might want to get acquainted with some of the options you have other than AirPods (and maybe learn about other editions of it like the AirPods Pro). Whether you're shopping during Black Friday and Cyber Monday for popular tech like laptops and TVs or prepping for your holiday gift giving otherwise, some of the options below are worth considering.
What are 'true wireless' earbuds?
That's kind of a confusing term. Let's clarify: "True wireless" refers to Bluetooth-enabled earbuds that have zero wires whatsoever. While some Bluetooth headphones — or in-ear buds or earbuds or 'buds — still have a wire connecting the two earbuds to each other, true wireless 'buds are literally two standalone earbuds. That means you have zero chance of ending up with tangles in your pocket. It also means you can move your head any which way while wearing them without the concern of pulling or tugging on the wire connecting them. They are, in other words, truly wireless.
They also virtually always come housed in a small case that, on top of storing them for you when you're not using them, doubles as a charging pack. This case, then, charges them for you as soon as you take them off and pop them into it. There are many benefits to this approach, not least of which is allowing you to use your earbuds for most of the day — and even draining their batteries — without needing an outlet to charge them back up.
Best wireless earbuds all-around: Jabra
1. Jabra Elite 75t
If you just want a pair of true wireless earbuds that sound great and work well, the Jabra Elite 75t is widely regarded as one of the best all-around sets you can buy. They're small, light, and have a bevy of touch controls so you can skip tracks, answer calls, and activate your phone's voice assistant without reaching for your phone. They come with a "transparency mode" designed to allow in ambient sound, letting you hear oncoming traffic (or your spouse or partner calling you from the next room). The 75t has a water resistance rating of IP55, which means they can handle rain and some sweating, but their warranty doesn't cover damage from perspiration, so they aren't ideal for hard workouts.
Best fitness wireless earbuds: Jaybird
2. Jaybird Vista True Wireless Bluetooth Sport Earbuds
When you're headed out for a run and need some tunes — or podcasts or any streamable content — to go with you, you want something like the Jaybird Vistas. They come with IPX7 water resistance, meaning they're water-tight even when immersed in up to one meter for as long as 30 minutes. I wouldn't recommend dunking them in the water, but if you tend to sweat a lot while exercising, these'll hold up well. And if they don't, Jaybird's warranty covers damage from perspiration. Couple that with a small hook on each 'bud that keeps it in your ear while running, and you've got a workout buddy that won't quit on you.
Best noise-cancelling earbuds: Sony
3. Sony WF-1000XM3 Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
While many earbuds merely isolate and block out noise using a "seal" in your ear canal, active noise canceling (or ANC) operates differently. It relies on microphones that record the noise around you and then play back a negative waveform of that sound into your ears — making it sound like you're in a quiet room with your music. It's effective in many ways, like drowning out the loud hum of an airplane (especially constructive while you're inside of it). And Sony has some of the most powerful noise canceling on the market in its WF-1000XM3 true wireless earbuds. If you're looking to truly block out the world, this is the right pair for you.
Best wireless earbuds for Apple users: AirPods, AirPods Pro, and Powerbeats Pro
4. Apple AirPods
Apple didn't just bring true wireless technology into the mainstream — they made their own AirPods very easy to use. Bluetooth has always had some quirks, for example, and Apple's H1 chip smoothed out the pairing process and stabilized its connection. You can even activate Siri with your voice (as long as you're pairing your earbuds to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac).
5. AirPods Pro
If you have a bit more to spend, the AirPods Pro come equipped with active noise canceling technology and a version of Sony's transparency mode.
6. Powerbeats Pro
Another step up, the Beats Powerbeats Pro emphasize better touch controls and an around-the-ear hook for a more secure fit.
Best budget wireless earbuds: Anker or TaoTronics
Most of the earbuds on this list are well over $100 — and substantial investments for those looking to make them — because wireless buds have a lot more tech packed inside compared to their wired counterparts. But if you're on a budget and really want to ditch the cables, you have options.
7. Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo
Anker's Soundcore Liberty Neo come in at less than $50 and sport a lightweight build that is IPX7-rated water resistant (sweating while wearing them is okay). They won't sound quite as good as the premium options above but they'll certainly do the job.
8. TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53
TaoTronics' SoundLiberty 53 are similarly-priced alternatives that add touch controls with a more AirPods-esque "stick" shape.

text: The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier John C. Stennis is the star of Monday's world premiere of the $135 million epic movie, "Pearl Harbor," the story of America's fight against the Japanese in World War II. The Stennis is the largest ship the Navy sails in its Pacific Fleet. At 1,095 ft. (332 m), it is as long as the Empire State Building is high. It can carry 6,200 men and the Navy's top fighters like the F/A-18 Hornet. But this week, it is the stomping ground of movie stars Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale. And it is the scene of the premiere for the film from director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who made the 1998 thrill ride "Armageddon" about Texas oil drillers shot into space to blow up an asteroid headed toward earth. Indeed, Disney has worked hard to keep the spectacle of a Hollywood premiere from overshadowing Pearl Harbor's place in U.S. history and the veterans who died in the Japanese sneak attack on Dec. 7, 1941 that pulled the United States into World War II. Much of the 3-hour movie centers on a love triangle between the characters played by Affleck, Beckinsale and Hartnett. It ends with Maj. James Doolittle's air raid on Japan in 1942, the first U.S. bombing attack on the mainland. Disney has hired Planes of Fame out of Chino, Calif. to strap a vintage P-40 fighter plane and B-25 bomber to the deck of the Stennis. Both planes are operational and were used in the movie. The P-40 fighter actually flew during World War II and has one enemy aircraft "kill" to its credit. The B-25, however, was too late for the war, and is used now for special events, TV shows and films.

knockout roses
My wife planted knockout roses several years ago and they were beautiful for several years, but now when in full bloom it looks like 2 types of roses are visible. One is the typical knockout rose, but the other is a ugly small red flower. Is the cross breeding coming out of the bush?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
It sounds like your knock out rosebushes were grafted rosebushes. At some point the hardy root stock that the top part was grafter onto got over zealous and decided to send out shoots to grow. It is best to prune out these shoots all the way down to the ground and maybe even a couple inches below ground. Then watch for the shoots coming back, usually the foliage and growth characteristics will be noticeably different, prune them out as they are discovered. Otherwise they will sap strength from the actual Knock Out rosebushes and could lead to their death, preceded by poor performance.

At first, our office hired only a couple of specialists and we had only the most crucial equipment to produce stainless steel materials. Since the beginning, we strived for our services to be quick and fully geared to the needs of consumers.
Because of that, we have earned the trust of clients, which in turn caused an increase in the volume of orders. As a result, we have begun the expansion of our machinery park and hired new experts.
In spite of the increasing amount of orders, we didn't forego our attention to detail and speed of execution. This way our services are highly popular to this day.
Our headquarters is located in Warsaw and that's where we have started our business. However, due to our clients including companies across the whole country, we have opened additional warehouses in Chelm, Bialymstok, Wroclaw, and Poznan.
Thanks to the trust of our clients we were able to broaden our horizons and start cooperating with renowned producers from across the globe.

An orb is a short ranged weapon that can be composed of various elements. It contains the essence of the element it represents.
These weapons can only be used by Sorcerers or Spiritmasters.
Unlike spellbooks, they have a very short range, but can do more damage when used to attack an enemy. They generally have higher Magic Boost but lower Magical Accuracy than spellbooks.
|Orb stats
|Attack Speed
|1 Strike Weapon
|Wield Type
Rarity Edit
|Common (White)
|These are the most commonly dropped item and the rarity sold by vendors. Common items typically have 1 manastone slot.
|Superior (Green)
|These are still frequently dropped by NPCs. They typically have 2 manastone slots and higher attributes and bonuses. Contribution vendors sell these items for AP, which grant players PvP attack bonuses.
|Heroic (Blue)
|These items are hard to find and have even more increased attributes and 3 manastone slots. Contribution vendors sell these items for AP and <Silver Medals>. They have higher PvP attack bonuses.
|Fabled (Gold)
|These items are very rare drops and typically have 4 manastone slots. They are quite expensive from Contribution vendors requiring lots of AP and <Gold Medals>. However, they have a very high PvP attack.
|Eternal (Orange)
|These items are the rarest and can only drop from rare world bosses or instance bosses. They typically have 5 manastone slots. Eternal items can also be crafted by master crafters.
Enchanting Edit
Each level of enchantment on an orb adds +4 Attack and +10 Magic Boost to a maximum total of +40 Attack at +10 (+60 at +15) and +100 Magic Boost (+150 at +15). For more information on enchanting, see the Enchant page.

App Developers Now Have Access to Free Stakeholder License for Microsoft Visual Studio Online
|Stuart Parkerson in Programming Friday, August 29, 2014
A few weeks ago Microsoft mentioned a providing a new "stakeholder license" for Visual Studio Online. Now the license option is available and any number of users in an account can be assigned a stakeholder license at no charge.
The new license allows developers to invite business stakeholders (non-core project sponsors and end users) to access their team project space and use specific Visual Studio Online features to track and participate in the overall development of the project.
Stakeholders have access to the project home page and most of the "work" related functionality. This includes the ability to view the backlog, add and edit items, run work item queries and more.
With a Visual Studio Online Stakeholder license, anyone on a team can check project status and provide feedback. Stakeholders can track project priorities and provide direction, feature ideas, and business alignment to a team.
The stakeholder license provides the ability to:
- View, add, and modify items on the backlog
- View team home pages and portfolio backlogs
- View, create, and modify work items such as stories, features, and bugs
- View, create, and save queries
- Sign up and receive alerts when changes are made to work items.
To access the following requires a basic or advanced license:
- Change the priority of backlogs
- Create new tags to group work items
- Create shared queries, view charts, and modify the home page
- Access the full set of features of the Code, Build, and Test hubs
- Participate in team rooms, which capture interactive, detailed conversations about the project
- Access administrative pages that support managing membership, permissions, area and iteration paths and licensing.
Visual Studio Online connects to Visual Studio, Eclipse, Xcode, and other Git clients to support development for a wide variety of platforms and languages.In the last 6 months, Microsoft has added new capabilities including Java build support, rich integration with 3rd party services via REST APIs and service hooks, Active Directory support for enterprise users and project welcome pages.
Visual Studio Online includes developer services across the full range of the application lifecycle including:
- Unlimited cloud-hosted, private source code repositories using Git or TFVC
- Agile project management with sprint backlogs, Kanban boards, and work item tracking
- Cloud-hosted build, either on-demand or as part of an automated continuous integration strategy
- Application Insights (in preview) for understanding an application's operation, usage, and performance across both clients and servers.
