The first choice for, GOING GREEN.
Fleetwood Windows & Doors is continually making efforts to be "Green Friendly" and currently leads the fenestration market with the Greenest multi-slide and sliding pocket doors in the United States. Our aluminum products are manufactured using recycled aluminum and glass and offered in inert coatings and finishes. To further promote global sensitivity, 100% of our aluminum scrap is recycled.
Designed to be the epitome of luxury as well as extremely energy efficient Fleetwood's windows & doors lead the industry in efficiency. We are proud of our NFRC and AAMA ratings and certifications. Fleetwood windows or doors are a great feature for use in your next LEED project or any home striving to be energy efficient! In fact, Fleetwood is the "Leader" in providing LEED certified homes with green friendly windows and doors.
One of the nice things about being earth sensitive is that you benefit too!
Sustainable Vs. Green: Wood windows and doors, which are prevalent in luxury homes, are commonly touted as "green" products. Although wood is technically green, don't be misled – wood is only sustainable if harvested in compliance with a sustainable forest plan. On the other hand, aluminum is an abundant and sustainably harvested resource. In fact, about 8% of the earth's crust consists of aluminum bauxite. This bountiful supply exceeds global demands and because of its recyclable nature, aluminum is the material for the next century. Additionally, 94% of the world's supply of bauxite is mined in non-forested regions, minimizing global environmental impact.
Lasts Longer: All windows and doors eventually must be replaced BUT aluminum windows and doors last decades longer than wood and vinyl. Consider the impact on the world's landfills with all the wood and vinyl waste. As well, imagine the wasted energy on redundant manufacturing of short-lived wood and vinyl windows and doors.
Inert Coatings & Finishes: We offer two types of finishes on our aluminum windows and doors: paint and anodizing. Both processes result in environmentally safe products that do not require refinishing. Because Fleetwood products are factory finished for life, you need only keep them clean. Can you imagine how much toxic waste would be prevented if everyone chose aluminum?
Avoid VOCs: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds that outgas from many materials and can pollute the air in your home. Since Fleetwood's painted finishes are factory cured at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, these compounds are safely removed. Neither wood nor vinyl can provide factory baked coatings.
Friendlier To Firemen: If a fire were to occur in your home your aluminum would not emit toxic fumes. Other window products incinerate quickly and add to the flames but only windows and doors made from metal will not burn. Also, vinyl products are petroleum based and therefore pose a great fire hazard and emit toxic fumes. In fact, some rural communities prohibit vinyl window products.
Remnants Recycled: Window and door fabrication produces waste destined for landfills. However, as part of our waste minimization strategy, 100% of our aluminum remnants are collected and melted down to make new windows and doors. This saves energy because aluminum production from scrap uses 95% less energy and limits the waste stream.
Recycled Metal: Every aluminum window and door is made up of components (rollers, latches, weather-stripping…) as well as extrusions and glass. The extrusions are comprised of virgin aluminum and, on average, 40% – 50% of post consumer recycled content to provide the world with products whose supply is nearly unlimited.
Sustainable Design: Aluminum is a fantastic building product for those concerned about sustainability. It is naturally plentiful and perpetually surviving (recyclability). Moreover, aluminum rates very high in Life Cycle Assessment and leaves a small ecological footprint.
Simplified Logistics: Because aluminum is a relatively lightweight building product, we can ship our windows and doors all over the world with little logistical waste. Even better, our windows and doors are created in such a way that far reaching markets can purchase glass locally and avoid the glass transit costs.
Houston Window Experts has partnered with Fleetwood Windows and Doors to serve the Houston area with high quality aluminum windows and doors. Visit our Fleetwood
The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED®(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)Green Building Rating System TM provides third party validation that a home has been designed and built to promote sustainability. LEED certification is a voluntary and rigorous process and measures the overall performance of a home in eight categories. LEED can be applied to both commercial and residential buildings and at any point during the building lifecycle. Individual building components themselves are not individually certified, but they can contribute to the points awarded to the project. Fleetwood products can assist with LEED credits in the categories below. Energy & Atmosphere EA Prerequisite 2 Minimum Energy Performance Fleetwood's energy-efficient products glazed with high performance glass can help maximize the energy performance of windows. Fleetwood's published performance values are NFRC certified. EA Credit 1 Optimize Energy Performance Fleetwood offers window products that meet Energy Star® qualification standards. For specific U-factor and SHGC performance values, review Fleetwood's published NFRC reports. (Limited Product Availability) EA Credit 2 On-Site Renewable Energy Fleetwood performance values are NFRC certified and can be used in building envelope modeling to achieve desired goals. Materials & Resources MR Credit 4.1 & 4.2 Recycled Content (1 or 2 pts if project materials are 10% or 20% of post consumer + 1/2 pre-consumer recycled content) Fleetwood's extrusions are comprised of virgin aluminum and, on average, 40% – 50% of post consumer recycled content. Fleetwood manufactures all products in Southern California. You may qualify for regional material credit. Indoor Environmental Quality EQ Credit 2 Increased Ventilation Operable windows can be incorporated as part of a natural ventilation strategy. EQ Credit 4.4 Low-Emitting Materials Fleetwood's factory painted finishes are factory cured at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and any harmful compounds are safely removed. EQ Credit 8.1 & 8.2 Daylight & Views Fleetwood products can be used to maximize interior daylight.

Q. Hello Natalina, may I ask what drew you to writing?
A. I have always wanted to be published and I had actually submitted novels for publication many years ago without much success. After a few years on pause, I met some other writers who inspired me to start writing again. After I had actually written a full-size novel it just stood to reason to submit it for publication.
Q. How long have you been writing?
A. I have been writing ever since I could. I remember writing poems and little stories when I was about eight years old.
Q. How long did it take you to write your most recent book?
A. I wrote the first draft of this book during the 2014 NaNoWriMo. It must have taken me another four to five months to have a polished manuscript I felt comfortable sending out to publishers. I work as a full-time teacher, so writing takes over the rest of my days and weekends.
Q. What do you use to write your books?
A. I write mostly on my laptop of my Kindle.
Q. What problems did you encounter?
A. My biggest problem is time. With a full-time job, time is at a premium and I often have to sacrifice other daily activities in order to be able to get any writing done.
Q. Do you structure your plots or just go with the flow?
A. I normally go with the flow and I thrive in the creative process without much planning. I find it that when I plan too much I lose interest in the characters and the story. It needs to be new and fresh to keep me going, to keep me creating.
Q. Do you do a lot of research when writing a book?
A. I research whenever I need. For instances in my current WIP, there is a scene that required me to learn about GPS and cell phone signals and jammers. In a previous project, I had to do research on African folklore and mythology. In We Will Always Have the Closet I had to study maps and ferry schedules. Whatever it takes to write a believable story (even in fantasy.)
Q. What time of the day do you find is best to write?
A. I write best in the early evening, away from home if possible. I enjoy writing in coffee shops and libraries. Mind you, considering that evenings are normally the only time I can actually write, my preference stems mostly from necessity.
Q. Where do you draw your inspiration from?
A. I'm an introvert and like most introverts I pay attention. I'm good at noticing things no-one else does and at filing those things in my mind for future reference. Virtually anything can inspire me; something I witness, a song, a picture…
Q. What draws you to this genre?
A. I love romance because it is a feel-good genre. In the world we live today, things are often so hopeless and grim that romance affords me with a way to escape. Even when I write other genres (I get bored easily so I tend to write across genres) I always try to insert some level of romance into it.
Q. How many books have you written?
A. I have written a few novels before I was published. I have only one book published at the moment and I have written another one (almost ready for submission) and I am working on another romance at the time.
Q. Who designed your front cover?
A. My cover was designed by the very talented Tamara from TOJ Publishing Services.
Q. Who was the first person you showed your novel too?
A. Nicole, a friend writer, was the first one reading my novel. She was my beta reader and first editor.
Q. Have you ever dedicated a book to someone?
A. We Will Always Have the Closet is dedicated to my father who passed away sixteen years ago. He was always very supportive of my dreams and also a reader.
Q. Do you do all your own proofreading and editing?
A. I have a group of writer friends who help me with the first round of edits and revisions. I have also hired a professional editor to help me polish the manuscript further before sending it out to a publisher.
Q. How and where are you publishing this book?
A. This book is being traditionally published with Limitless Publishing.
Q. What are you reading at the moment? Which book do you have by your bed?
A. I just finished reading a romance by a fellow Limitless author; Marianne Rice called Sweet on You and Graceling by Kristen Cashore. I have started Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare a couple days ago and I'm already hooked.
Q. Who is your Favorited author/book?
A. I have so many. Love Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. Cassandra Clare and J.K. Rowling's, Sophie Kinsella and Khaled Hosseini, Suzanne Collins and Agatha Christie.
Q. What is your favourite quote from a book?
A. I have a notebook full of favourite literary quotes but I love Hunger Games' very simple and heart wrenching one when Peeta asks Katniss, 'You love me. Real or not real? I tell him, Real.'
Q. What is your favourite book to film adaptation?
A. Hunger Games by far.
Q. What books do you read to your children?
A. My children are now adults but I used to read them The Chronicles of Narnia when they were little. I love picture books and have a huge collection that I read to my elementary school students.
Q. When you read do you prefer a book or a Kindle/tablet?
A. I love any kind of book. Lately, I read on my Kindle more often than not because I can carry a ton of them with me that way. Right now I'm reading Lady Midnight in hardcover.
Q. Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
A. Don't give up and write, write, write.
Q. What's coming next Natalina?
A. I have one book ready for submission and I am writing another romance right now. I am hoping to establish myself as an author and like most of us, I would love to become a full-time writer.

June 4th, 2019 by WCBC Radio
June 6, 2019, will mark the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion of WWII, and ACPS secondary social studies teachers have been encouraged to share information with their students about this event and its critical historical significance. On this day, Allied forces conducted the largest amphibious assault in history as they invaded the European mainland, marking the beginning of the end of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime.
According to Dr. George Brown, Supervisor of Secondary Social Studies, "ACPS teachers have been provided with a plethora of educational resources to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of this event, and I'm certain many have located multiple resources on their own." These resources range from primary sources, documentaries, Google map images, animated maps, and opinion pieces. Dr. Brown noted that it will be up to each teacher's discretion to present information that is appropriate to the grade level of the students and content of the course of study.
At Fort Hill High School, Mr. Robby May's Historical Research Methods class has had the significance of this anniversary at the forefront of learning all year as they produced this year's documentary on the Greatest Generation which features members from the community who epitomized what it meant to be a member of this generation. Mr. May's other social studies classes will learn background information about the D-Day invasion and have plans to listen to the original NBC news radio broadcasts from the day as they unfolded; will read diary entries from soldiers; and will participate in a virtual field trip to Normandy.
The individuals who fought for the U.S. in WWII and those who supported their efforts on the home front are often times referred to as the "can-do generation" having survived the Great Depression just prior to the start of WWII. "As U.S. citizens, we should always remember with gratitude the sacrifices and triumphs experienced by the Greatest Generation," stated Dr. Brown. Mr. May echoed these sentiments, "The significance of the actions of all veterans of WWII is something incredibly hard to measure and something that has dramatically changed the course of world history, paving the way for what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called the four freedoms – speech, to worship God in his own way, from want, and from fear."

Age-friendly projects ready to be rolled out
After six months of consultation, discussion and brainstorming, four projects have been identified by Mitchell Shire's seniors to help make their community more age-friendly.
Mitchell Shire's seven Positive Ageing Ambassadors were tasked with engaging with seniors to find out what they enjoyed about their community, what limited their participation, and how their community could be more age-friendly.
Over 500 people responded to a community survey, with the results presented at a series of community workshops, in which potential project ideas were developed.
Following consultation, four key projects have been developed:
Communication and information project – using communication platforms including web, social media, noticeboards and radio, to improve information access for seniors.
Pop-up cinema – an indoor/outdoor pop-up cinema that can be hired by community groups.
Outdoor spaces and building project – exploring opportunities for more drinking fountains and bench seats in the main streets of major towns, a review of disabled car parks, as well as launching a guide to help make businesses more accessible and age-friendly.
Community transport – information sessions about booking the Bendigo Bank Community Bus.
Mitchell Shire Mayor Rhonda Sanderson said the projects would address some of the key findings from the survey and community workshops.
"The feedback we received from our senior community identified a range of barriers to participating in their community – health, age, mobility and outdoor spaces and buildings," Cr Sanderson said.
"The age-friendly projects were then developed in response to this feedback. It is exciting to see such a diverse range of initiatives about to rolled out that will help our seniors feel more connected.
"It has been fantastic to see the enthusiasm shown by the Positive Ageing Ambassadors, and the wider senior community, to get involved in this project and really help make a difference."
The Positive Ageing Ambassadors program has been funded by a Victorian Government Age-Friendly Communities grant.
The projects are expected to be rolled out by June 2018.

Cooling Watermelon Smoothie
Living in the city, we find that we can't survive the hot, sticky summers without a cooling breakfast smoothie before braving our usual morning commute! Watermelon is such a refreshing fruit and adds a unique summer flavour to this recipe. Don't be put off by the carrot, it blends perfectly with the zesty orange! As an added bonus, this smoothie also delivers lots of Vitamin C.
Serves 2
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped into inch-size chunks
- 1 ½ cups watermelon
- ½ banana (frozen works well, but it's not necessary)
- 1 ½ oranges, peeled
- 4-6 ice cubes
How to:
Simply combine all ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. This is delicious decorated with some dried berries or top it up with our coconut Feel Good Bites. If you really want to feel like you're on holiday put some watermelon cubes on the end of a stick and pop it into the glass!
Cooling Watermelon Smoothie
Coconut Snowballs
When it comes to cookies, deliciousness usually arrives in the form of ingredients like butter, cream and milk. So, what happens when you can't eat any of these foods? In our case, We started playing with coconut. These balls of nutritious sweetness are the result!
Makes 12 balls
- 1 3/4 cups unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of natural sea salt
How To:
Place 1 cup of desiccated coconut in a food processor along with the coconut oil. Blend on a high speed, scraping down the sides every now and then, until you have a paste-like consistency. Add the agave, coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and blend until thoroughly mixed. Add ½ a cup of desiccated coconut and pulse until just combined.
Shape the mixture into 12 (1-inch) balls and roll them to coat with the remaining desiccated coconut. Refrigerate for at least an hour to set. They taste best at room temperature, so take them out of the fridge for a bit before eating. If you are far more disciplined than US, they will keep in the fridge for up to five days!

FCC To Propose 'Net Neutrality' Rules
FCC To Propose 'Net Neutrality' Rules
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is expected to propose new rules Monday on Network Neutrality. The new rules are designed to keep Internet providers from interfering with the free flow of information over their networks. The FCC's position has wide implications for how Americans will access the Internet in the future.
'Preserving A Free And Open Internet'
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
The Federal Communications Commission is looking at the subject of Network Neutrality. That's the issue of who controls, or at least influences in subtle ways, what you might see on the Internet. The FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is scheduled to make a closely watched speech on this topic today. NPR's Laura Sydell reports.
LAURA SYDELL: Net neutrality is basically what the Internet has now. When you go to visit a Web site it doesn't matter if it's Amazon or the little book shop around the corner, you will be able to navigate both sites with the same speed. But Internet service providers like AT&T and Comcast have expressed interest in charging companies if they want consumers to gain faster access to their Web sites. So Comcast could make a deal with Amazon that makes it a lot easier to visit Amazon's site, than say, ma and pa's book site. Or an ISP could make a deal with YouTube that makes it harder for a startup video site to compete against it.
In the past, Genachowski has expressed support for regulations that would prevent Internet service providers from creating this kind of tiered service.

INSKEEP: And Laura explains more about Net Neutrality. And you can find that explanation easily enough, for now, at Npr.org.

FCC Chief Seen Edging Toward 'Net Neutrality' Rules
FCC Chief Seen Edging Toward 'Net Neutrality' Rules
A speech scheduled for Monday by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is being closely watched by both sides of a debate over "network neutrality" — a term describing a world in which Internet service providers can't charge different rates for different levels of service.
There is speculation that Genachowski, long a supporter of "net neutrality," will announce that the FCC plans to begin a process to create those rules. He's scheduled to address the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
Both sides of the debate agree that regulations would have a profound effect on the future of the Internet.
Right now, Internet users have effectively been living in a world where net neutrality prevails.
That means that no matter what Web site users visit, they get the same speed of service. Videos on YouTube load just as quickly as videos from Vimeo. The Amazon.com site is just as fast as the site for the mom-and-pop bookstore down the street.
But ISPs such as Comcast, Verizon and AT&T would like to be able to charge YouTube, Vimeo, Amazon, and mom and pop more if they want a faster connection.
'Preserving A Free And Open Internet'
For instance, if AT&T made a deal with YouTube, watching YouTube videos via AT&T might be faster and easier than watching the same videos on Vimeo. And big players such as Amazon will undoubtedly have a high-speed advantage over mom and pop.
In the past, Genachowski has expressed support for regulations that would prevent ISPs from creating tiers of service.
As a technology adviser to President Obama during the campaign, he was pivotal in convincing candidate Obama to come out in support of network neutrality rules.
Genachowski's position has the backing of major Internet companies such as Google, Yahoo and eBay, but this is not a debate between corporate giants.
Consumer groups such as Public Knowledge have come out in support of net neutrality, as have many small business alliances that fear that small startups will be at a disadvantage if the ISPs can determine which Web sites get faster service.
In effect, supporters of net neutrality say the ISPs want to be gatekeepers and act more like cable TV companies that charge consumers extra to access "premium" channels such as HBO and Showtime.
Net neutrality also has the support of political groups from both sides of the spectrum. Two unlikely bedfellows, the right-leaning Christian Coalition and left-leaning MoveOn.org support FCC regulations in favor of net neutrality on free speech grounds. Grass-roots political groups worry that ISPs would be able to slow down connections to groups with unpopular points of view.
ISPs are vehemently against any kind of government regulation of the Internet. They believe that federal officials should continue with a hands-off approach and let the market determine the future shape of the online world.
ISPs also argue that charging for different tiers of service will help them achieve a goal that President Obama is strongly behind: bringing high-speed service to large numbers of people. Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T all say that they need more capital to bring consumers better service, and that the best way to get the money is to charge for different tiers of access.
If Genachowski does announce plans to start the process rolling for net neutrality rules, nothing is likely to happen overnight. Both sides expect there will be hearings and plenty of back and forth before the FCC takes any action.

Flexi Lexi Fitness was founded in 2014 when Micky Sivapruksa was pregnant with her first son. Out of frustration that there were no sports bras in the market that were comfortable, fitting and with fun designs, she contacted a supplier and created a "bralette" and called it Lexi bralette. Lexi bralettes came in a few colours and were such a hit among yogis worldwide. Then she came up with more styles and more colours.
Not long after that, Flexi Pants were made. Because Micky loved (and still does!) bright and happy colours and fun and cute designs, she put those ideas into making the first collection of Flexi Pants. Those too became a hit. At that time there were no proper premium yoga or activewear that had fun designs like Flexi Lexi Fitness.
Then came Flexi Dancer Leggings, the ballet-inspired leggings, and then Flexi Lexi Fitness' most favourite Mini Flexi Lexi Collection. Now everyone in the family (yes even the dads!) can wear Flexi Lexi Fitness and get fit and strong together.
Our fabric is one of the best in the activewear market with 27% spandex and 73% polyester. We use the best sublimation technique and our designs are copyrighted.

Our working staff at Adidas-approved factory in Dongguan, China, receive above standard wages, bonuses and annual holidays. They are happy and proud to be a part of our Flexi Lexi team :)
At Flexi Lexi Fitness, we also care about our world and seek the best possible way to help make it a greener and cleaner place. Plastic-recycled fabric will be used in all our collections starting from Summer Collection 2019 onwards.

It is amazing to think that my 30-day sojourn to Northampton ended on 24th October and now we're at the end of November ...
I remember mentioning in my last blog post about Kirsty and Julie taking turns to be nursie and look after me, but after two weeks of that, I needed to get back to work for my clients so decided to go it alone and return my life to some sort of normality.
It's been incredibly hard work though. I'm tired all the time and had to consolidate the amount of work I do during the day to a bare minimum. With publication now at 9am (rather than the usual 7am it's been for the past few years), by the time I've finished editing for my clients, I'm pretty much done for the day and just want to curl up on the sofa and feel sorry for myself.
So tiredness aside, has there been any positive developments with my recovery? Well yes ... my tastebuds are slowly returning and I would say that out of 10, my taste is now at a 5 which is a massive improvement on where I was when I finished treatment.
The palette in the top of my mouth has stopped hurting now so there's no little razorblades to make me cringe, but I still have a major problem with one of my saliva glands. It hurts constantly, it's not producing enough saliva by a mile and what it does produce is incredibly claggy and I'm constantly swallowing this horrible stuff which is making me violently ill.
And it's quite random. I can eat something and think everything is fine and then around an hour later I'll run screaming to the loo and hurl up my entire stomach contents. It's not pleasant I can assure you. My tummy is producing loads of acid to breakdown the food, so I get a mouthful of stingy liquid which hits my throat and mouth and causes me even more pain!
Often, I throw up in the morning as well. I'll wake up, have a sip of water to lubricate my mouth again and I'm trying very hard not to blow chunks as I run to the loo with a mouthful of high pressure yak in my mouth. It's probably quite funny to watch, but isn't funny to endure.
In the mornings, however, it really is a stomach full of claggy saliva mixed in with the sips of water I've been drinking all night. And because I keep waking up every 1/2 hour or so with a dry mouth to sip some water, I'm not getting any quality sleep!
At this moment, I keep saying to myself "I wish I hadn't gone through that treatment" because it's caused so much damage and trauma. After all, I love my food and the fact that I'm eating very little, can only taste some of it and what I do eat mostly keeps coming back, well, I do wonder if it was worth it?
And then I think of my beautiful cats, and my best friends and everyone else who's been rooting for me, sending me their kind words, thoughts and intentions and I do think it's been worth it because I'm still here and things are improving ... albeit very slowly.
So the question has to be this: "would I have radiotherapy again?" and the answer to that is a resounding no! I have to wait until February to get scanned and they'll tell me if the tumour is dead or not. If it is then great, I can get on with my life, but what if it isn't?
Well, then it's time to make some decisions, and they will not involve having any more radiotherapy! I just couldn't cope with it. But for now, until I know either way, I just want to enjoy my food again!
If anything I've mentioned here resonates with you, do call me on 0333 335 0420 and let's see how I can help.

Dating Anniversary, Different Start Dates – Same Group of Friends
Today is the 18th year that my husband has been dating me. I have been dating Mark an additional 8 months. It was a complicated social understanding which took a heavy handed bartender's margarita that finally got us on one page. Back then, before the Brody Bunch phenomena, we had a very special circle of friends. With these friends, we volunteered, we traveled, we had regular happy hours, we had weekly Saturday brunches, for years. We spent holidays together, we experienced happy times, sadness, work changes, first houses, and life. These friends knew Mark and me before we started dating.
What is THIS All About?
Someone recently asked, me "What is THIS all about"? "THIS" includes: kids' sports leagues, applying for schools, touring camps, bills, high health care premiums, and the hamster wheel of life. "THIS" includes many first world problems. My reply to the philosophical or rhetorical question, just a few weeks ago was,"don't ask that question, just keep moving forward!"
A Celebration with Friends, Dewey Beach is in our Hearts
However, last night, the Brody Bunch and our old circle of friends gathered to celebrate a Bar Mitzvah. Throughout life we create groups of friends, such as school friends, work friends, camp friends, college friends, early career friends, etc. Mark and I were in a peer group of 20 year old civically and socially minded people. Mark developed a spin off group called, "The Walking, Running, Eating and Volunteering Group" and we did everything in the group's title, weekly. A part of this group remained very close.
One of our best annual vacations was a trip to Dewey Beach, Delaware. We rented a mansion on the beachfront. About 18 years ago, this place cost $4000 for four nights over the long Memorial Day weekend. 18 of us piled in. It was one long party. We called ourselves the "original Dewey group". A few people didn't come back in future summers and new people joined the group. We did this trip several times. And, it always rained when we took this trip. The trip eventually ended. The Dewey crew split off into smaller groups. And, life got in the way.
Identifying with A Scene in the Movie, City Slickers
Last night, most of the group, along with my children, reconvened to celebrate a Bar Mitzvah. We had more sunshine last night than we ever had on our beach trip.
"What's all of THIS about"? There's a conversation in Billy Crystal's movie City Slickers about middle aged friends on a comedic soul searching journey on a dude ranch that refers to this experience.
Curly, played by Jack Palance, a seasoned cowboy, and asks Mitch played by Billy Crystal: "Do you know what the secret of life is? THIS, [and holds up one finger]." Mitch: "Your finger?" Curly: "One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean shit." Mitch: "But, what is that 'one thing?'" Curly: "That's what YOU have to find out."
So, here we were on the dance floor, in between classic hits from the 80s and songs of today celebrating a friend's child who became a man in the eyes of our collective faith. Our kids were dancing near us, checking in during dinner and dancing. We laughed about old times. We gushed over our growing kids. We checked in about each other's' parents. I unloaded issues I would never post on Facebook. There was so much love and happiness. I missed our friends so much. We all had a good time. In our younger days, we volunteered in our community. We got married. We had kids. We experienced each other's' sadness. We became consumed in our kids' worlds. And then we made new life friends through Little League, and the PTA. Everyone is part of the journey. But what is THIS all about?
What is all of the Stuff About?
I am in the midst of cleaning out a loved one's home during a housing transition. My own home is also in need of a purge. We spent years buying and gathering more stuff and now it is everywhere and we are attached to it, but don't need most of it. Simplicity seems like a better alternative Again, it's a first world problem. "What's THIS all about"?
To Life! To Us! To our Friends!
Last night, while I was with many dear old friends, who I have not seen on a regular basis for more than 10 years, and those I have seen quickly in passing at the supermarket or such, quality time has been missed. This is the group, the "original Dewey crew" that knew my husband and I before we were dating. And, last night, they didn't realize that we would be celebrating 18 years, which is Chai (Life), in Judaism, of dating. These were the friends who helped us get where we are today, and they didn't even know that today is a significant day for us and that they were part of it.
Taking a Reunion Photo, We Were Meant to take a Photo of ALL of US
We all danced together, and told some one liners from the past. I requested that the photographer take a group picture of the original Dewey crew still hanging on late into the night. I have always done our photos, but I wanted to be in this group photo, too. We were lining up. And, then significant others and spouses joined in the group photo, as they should. And, then our kids jumped into the photo, as they should. We were watching our legacy unfold last night THIS is what it's all about.
Last Dance, THIS is What it is All About – Friends, Memories & The Future
We were called together to celebrate a happy time. The whole night was a reflection of our past as we celebrated a young man's future… perhaps "THIS is what it's all about". I asked the disc jockey if he ever heard of Donna Summers' song, "Last Dance"? The D.J.'s announced last song was one that I never heard of. Our Dewey group saw Donna Summers in concert. The D.J. obliged my request and played a final "Last Dance" and there we were, most of the original Dewey group, significant others and kids, singing and dancing the Last Dance. One friend said to me, "hey, I think you have a new blog from tonight." And, my old friend Chippy, was right. I have had a writing block for a few weeks. Not only do I have a blog, I have a very warm spot in my heart for old times. Life is a blessing and hard. But to see the past, and reflect on the future and know that we are happy, healthy and wealthy in memories and love, "THIS" is what it's all about.

Two questions:
- What is the most common food that people choke to death on in American restaurants?
- What is the Number One killer in the U.S.?
The most common food that people choke to death on in American restaurants is hard-boiled egg yolk, and the Number One killer in the U.S. is death. There is a lot of it around.
Think about it for a moment:
Everything you hold dear to you is going to be torn from your hands by death. Whether we like it or not, we are all part of the ultimate statistic:
Ten out of ten die.
No doubt you have wondered why death separates us from our loved ones. This happens because we have broken an eternal Law.
Let's look at the Law (the Ten Commandments) and see if we have broken any of them in any way (with a tender conscience, let's ask ourselves if we have obeyed the following):
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
(have you loved God above all else?)
- You shall not make yourself a graven image.
(make a god to suit yourself, with your hands or your mind)
- You shall not take God's name in vain.
(have you always given God's name honor)
- Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
- Honor your father and mother.
(honored your parents completely)
- You shall not murder.
(hatred is considered as murder)
- You shall not commit adultery.
(lust is adultery of the heart; includes sex before marriage)
- You shall not steal.
(the value is irrelevant)
- You shall not lie.
(including answering these questions)
- You shall not covet.
(not once desired anything that belongs to someone else)
The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts. On Judgment Day, will you be found to be guilty or innocent of breaking His Law?
Perhaps you think that God is good, and will therefore overlook your sins. But it is His goodness that will make sure murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, etc. receive justice. He would be a corrupt Judge if He turned a blind eye to injustice.
God, however, made a way where His justice and His goodness could meet. We broke the Law, but He became a man to pay the fine.
Now, because of what Yeshua (Jesus) did for us in satisfying the Law, God can forgive us and grant us the gift of everlasting life! But here's where many people make a fatal mistake. They think they will enter Heaven if they live a good life. But isn't it true that the best of us have lied, stolen, lusted, hated, failed to love God above all else, and failed to love our neighbor as ourselves? How can we then, live a "good" life if we have already sinned against God? At best we are reformed liars and thieves . . . Lawbreakers.
Think of it this way – would you sell one of your eyes for a million dollars? Would you sell both for $50 million? I'm sure you wouldn't. Your eyes are priceless, yet they are merely the windows of your soul. What then must your life (soul) be worth?
With these thoughts in mind, what would be a fair price to pay for everlasting life? It is utterly without price. Yet, if we trust in our own goodness to enter Heaven, we are saying to God, "I should enter Heaven because I have done good—I have earned my way in."
Imagine if you wanted to give me a brand new (very expensive) car, but I said "I can't take it! I feel embarrassed receiving such a gift…here's 10 cents for it." I'm sure you would be very insulted by such a pathetic offer of payment. Besides, if I pay for it, it is no longer a gift, it's a purchase…it's mine by right. When we talk of entering Heaven by being good, by trying to keep the Ten Commandments etc., we are tossing God 10 cents of "self-righteousness," which is a terrible insult to Him, in the light of His sacrifice. The only thing we can do is humble ourselves, repent of our sins, and receive the gift by trusting Yeshua (Jesus) Christ alone.
Almighty God demonstrated how much He loves you when Yeshua (Jesus) suffered for you on the cross. If you want to trust in your own goodness, then you are saying His agonizing death on the cross was in vain.
The Bible says, "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." You cannot earn a gift.
When Yeshua (Jesus) said to "believe" on Him, He was saying we should have faith in Him, in the same way you would trust a parachute to save you when you jump from a plane. You don't merely believe in the parachute – you put it on!
Please don't "jump" without Yeshua (Jesus). If you die in your sins there is no second chance. God will give you justice, and you will end up in Hell forever. Any troubles you have at present, are dwarfed by the trouble you are in with your Creator. His wrath abides upon you (John 3:36).
Confess your sins to God right now, put your trust in Yeshua (Jesus) as Savior, and you will pass from death to life.
To find the way to God, to understand the truth of God's Word, and to receive the gift of eternal life, begin by repentance and faith through a prayer like this:
"Dear God, I understand that I have broken Your Law and sinned against You. Please forgive my sins. Thank You that Yeshua suffered on the cross in my place. I now place my trust in Him as My Savior and Master. In Yeshua's name I pray. Amen."

Second Sunday of Lent – February 25, 2018
ENCOUNTER LENT: Sharing the Journey with CESIA
Cesia Lea Gomez is from the rural town of Somoto, Nicaragua, close to the Honduran border. Although it is a beautiful farming community, there are few job opportunities for young people, especially women. Many leave their communities to find work, but Cesia wanted to stay home with her parents and youngest sibling. With her mother's encouragement, Cesia decided to pursue her dream of starting a business.
The CRS YouthBuild program helped her achieve that dream. YouthBuild's core values—family, service, opportunity and leadership—guide what participants learn, and the kinds of relationships they build with one another. The program helps them build the confidence to pursue their goals.
Once very shy, Cesia is now a leader in her community. With what she learned in YouthBuild, she has built a thriving business making and selling cattle feed. She dreams of expanding her business throughout Nicaragua, and leads workshops in her community to help other young people.
Jesus spent years working as a carpenter. Work is important to help people fulfill their potential. And everyone must receive a fair wage to provide for themselves and their families.

First Sunday of Lent – February 18, 2018
Dear Friends:
Eight-year-old Majd thought his family was going on a picnic. His mother, Lamya, said they would be back home in a week. But when ISIS attacked their home in northern Iraq, the family fled for good.
"What worried me the most were the kids," Lamya says. "Our life was stable and we were doing well; we had a very big house. Our children had everything they needed. But when we fled, I was not able to bring anything for them—not even food."
Fortunately, the family found an apartment to rent with other displaced families. It is much smaller than the home they had, but it's safer. The children enrolled in a CRS-sponsored school, where the routine provides hope, stability and a sense of belonging. "Education is very important," says Lamya, especially in Iraqi culture. Lamya received training from CRS and became a teacher at the school. Now she has hope for the future. "I really love children, so when I go to class I feel like I am with my family," she says.
Her son, Majd, also loves going to school. "Majd is so motivated to go to school. He just wants it to be morning so he can go," Lamya says. "He is relaxed, having fun and more confident." For Majd, school means a normal life—now and in the future.
We were made in God's image and likeness. That means that every human being has special value and a purpose. We need to care for each other so we can be the people God calls us to be.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time – February 11, 2018
Dear Friends,
As you surely know, Lent begins this coming Wednesday, February 14. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of our 40 day journey to Easter, a time where we try to more fully focus our hearts on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We look forward to journeying with you over these next seven weeks.
This year, our parishes will be taking part in CRS's Rice Bowl program. CRS – Catholic Relief Services – does amazing work across the world, helping poor and vulnerable people overcome emergencies, earn a living through agriculture and access affordable health care. (You can learn more at www.crs.org and www.crsricebowl.org.) Their Rice Bowl program gives us a chance to encounter our brothers and sisters around the world and discover how we can walk in solidarity with them. During Lent, we will be taking a break from our weekly notes so that we can use this space in the bulletin to focus on a few of those people.
We will most certainly see you at mass, and we eagerly await to celebrate the beauty of Easter with you.
With love and peace,
Fr. Tim and Fr. Mike
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time – February 4, 2018
"Decide to Lead"
2018 Catholic Stewardship Appeal
Dear Friends,
This Sunday begins the annual Catholic Stewardship Appeal. You may wonder why Archbishop Listecki is asking each one of us to share some of our financial resources for so great a cause. How does this annual Appeal affect our parishes? A truly Catholic answer would be that we belong to a larger church and share in the mission of the Archdiocese which includes 10 counties in southeast Wisconsin. While our family of four parishes offers many services and ministries, we cannot meet everyone's needs. Through our support of the Annual Catholic Stewardship Appeal, we help to fund programs that serve families, strengthen parishes, support schools and form priests and parish leaders. The goal for 2018 is $7,700,000. Since we are not able to show the video for the Appeal in our churches, please view it online at www.catholicappeal.org.
On behalf of Fr. Tim and myself, please be as generous as possible. Thanks as your pastors for your support in helping us fulfill our responsibilities to the larger Church. We have been reflecting on Mark's gospel in which Jesus teaches and expels demons. Today we see Jesus curing Peter and Andrew's mother-in-law and healing many others. Jesus balances his frenetic activity with prayer by going alone into the desert to pray. This gospel helps prepare us for the Lenten season which begins next week on Ash Wednesday February 14th. If we believe in the gospel as good news, we will repent and receive healing and mercy. Next Sunday February 11th is the Twenty-sixth World Day of the Sick. Refer to the Vatican website for Pope Francis' message. Pray for the sick and all those who care for them.
Sincerely with love,
Fr. Mike Michalski

Individuel and social aspects of medication taking
More and more people are using pharmaceuticals, not only to prevent, manage or treat illness, but also to sustain health. My primary research interest concerns the individual and social effects of pharmaceutical treatment. I primarily use qualitative, ethnographic research method to explore matters of medication taking in everyday life, and document analysis to investigate changes in the understanding of the role of medicines in society. My research is situated at the cross-section of Science and Technology Studies (STS), social pharmacy and medical anthropology.
Elderly and Antidepressants
Project title: Decision Aid for the prescription of antidepressants among frail seniors
My post doc project concerns the prescription and use of antidepressants for the treatment of mild-moderate depression among frail seniors. In the project, I explore the distributed decision-making processes in relation to the prescription of antidepressants and hereby seek to understand the role of the pharmaceuticals in the management of mental health. The empirical data is used to develop a decision aid to support user-involvement in the decision or decline of antidepressants. The homecare team in Albertslund municipality is partner in the project. The project is financed by the Velux Foundation's project pool on Elderly and Medication.
The Routinization of statins in Denmark
Title of PhD Dissertation: A Matter of Course. An Ethnographic Assemblage of the Routinization of Statins in Denmark
My PhD study was part of the interdisciplinary CPHU financed project; LIFESTAT - Living with statins, which focused on the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with cholesterol-lowering pharmaceuticals, statins. In the dissertation, I explore the transformation of statins from scientifically contested to standard of care by mapping how the field of preventive medicine is shaped by a variety of human actors, technologies and logics. I argue that pharmaceutical prevention of cardiovascular risk has become 'a matter of course'; a self-evident solution to the problem of being at risk. This framing of pharmaceutical prevention influences on the individual and clinical aspects of care.
As part of the project, I am co-authoring the site: www.kolesteroldialog.dk

I'm searching for pictures of the bogies of the R143 subway trains because I'm currently building a model for OpenRails. I've done a lot of internet searches that turned up many nice front pictures, but there don't seem to be good side shots of the bogies.
Any help with that would be appreciated.

CEO Clubs Int'l in Romania has several strategic partnerships with the Media, offering the opportunity to all the Members to publish articles, presenting personal opinions.
Below you may read the article from Robert Maxim, Managing Partner at Ensight.
Published on Business Review
Business collaboration, a success prerequisite
Collaborating with clients in order to achieve results that improve their companies is our job. It's what we're constantly working on in order to reach the business objectives that count at the end of the day. For this partnership to work, a set of principles should be respected: value-adding work oriented towards reaching objectives, all based on strong ethical principles. Still, this is all easier said than done. To facilitate this process and meet the professional standards that we believe in, we're following a set of guidelines that helps the communication between professionals in different companies, practice areas and even in different parts of the world.
Collaboration, especially when regarding clients, is a relationship that requires trust. And this is how it should be, but how do you get to this point? Trust follows met expectations, and meeting expectations involves that both parts understand each other and commit for shared goals and shared responsibility. So, the first rule is to be clear on your demands and expectations, and on the collaboration terms.
Then, throughout the project, you must keep in mind the big picture and the objectives you are after. Each contributor comes with a scenario on how things should be done and, why not say it, with an ego. It's important to say "no" to things that you know will have a negative impact on the project, but also to say "yes" to new ideas, as long as it helps meeting the objective. For a given period of time, we're all a team!
Be systematic! A collaborative process may have multiple phases and include various people. This is why it's important to have a systematic approach on the work you do together, on the feedback you gather, on the entire process. This is mandatory for a clear image of your work and to really help your client. Transparency is key.
Successful business collaboration is a challenge for professionals in all areas. Still, consulting is about crossing boundaries to offer clients the know-how they need in a given context. In most cases, this is what makes the difference!

Amazon rolled out a new update for their iOS app.
This update doesn't change as many details as the several updates released over the past few months, but it does add a few useful features. In addition to the stability improvements and bug fixes, there's also an incremental improvement to the Skynet AI that Amazon has secretly installed on all of our devices.
Update: The new version of the Kindle iPad app apparently now offers better support for KF8, Amazon's newer ebook format. This wasn't mentioned in the changelog but one of my readers regularly uses his iPad and he noticed the difference (and another confirmed it). Thanks, Rob!
It's not clear whether the iPhone app supports KF8, but I do know that this new support only works in ebooks bought from Amazon and not ebooks which are sideloaded or emailed to the app.
Here's what it looks like. As you can see, the formatting now more closely resembles an Epub ebook.
Amazon has also finally added support for third party dictionaries. Have you bought a dictionary in the Kindle Store? Assuming it was formatted correctly, it should now work on the Kindle iPad app.
Amazon has also added a custom search for free samples. You still can't search for paid ebooks, but when you search for ebooks you'll now also be offered free samples that match your search terms. Curiously enough, there's no way to buy the full ebook once you've read the sample. I would think that would be the whole point of offering samples (maybe it's coming next week).
Here is what is new in version 22.214.171.124.0:
- Kindle Free Sample Search - From the existing Library Search, customers can now search Amazon's catalog of millions of Kindle books and download free samples from within the app. New books are easier than ever to find.
- Bring Your Own Dictionary - Customers can now use previously purchased Dictionaries, such as medical, legal, or other translation references to define words in any of their other eBooks. Dictionaries downloaded to the device automatically appear in the selection list.
- Accessibility Quick Reference - Accessibility gestures for blind and visually impaired customers are included for quick reference and can be found under the FAQ section in settings. The guide has been translated for all supported languages.
- Instant Cover Loader – Book cover art displays quicker and more fluidly.
- Bug Fixes/Stability Improvements

While we were in Adelaide (Mar 14-21) we were truly treated like family and were able to see all the major sites, except for the ongoing Clipsal Road Race which we tried to avoid by using buses and trams in the city center.
One day was devoted to the Barossa Valley...a deservedly famous wine center. This pic is a pretty typical shot of the beautiful green vineyards. Of course, we tasted our fair share of delicious wines.
Speaking of typical, this roadside sign was one of many we photographed to alert drivers of wandering wildlife. We have similar pics for wombats, kangaroos and echidna.
This particular sign was on the approach to a reserve where we took a hike on our last day. I was lucky enough to spot a koala in a tree....all the other hikers gathered and he treated us to his "holler"...sounded a bit like a chimp. Honestly. It's the male's method of calling females and warding off other males. A first for me...it was great.
My posts are almost up to current time. The Government House post was in real time and not in sequence with the following....next I will post about our wine tasting trip on Mar 23 and 24 with our Melbourne buddies to Rutherglen valley in Northeast Victoria, and places we've never been...very fine wines, gorgeous gums and the stomping grounds of Ned Kelly.

Cinderello: Queering Fairy Tales
This is a post by Actualizing Change program participant Monique. Be sure to check out some awesome pictures of gender-swapping fairy tale characters by Yudi Chen in a series that can be seen at Design Taxi.
As someone who works with children, I frequently read children's picture books aloud. A few months ago I was reading Hansel and Gretel to a young girl and boy, and I felt bored and frustrated with the gender representations. In the story, Hansel is characterized as the funny, clever one while Gretel is portrayed as a nag and a follower. The Witch character reinforces the classic binary: nurturing mother/independent evil bitch.
In an effort to subvert these representations (snicker away), a quarter of the way through the story I gender-swapped the characters. Gretel got some good funnies in there, Hansel was sensitive and prudent, and the witch became an evil wizard. One of the kids was distracted and made uncomfortable by the gender-swapping, so we struck a deal: on alternate pages I would gender-swap. After this critical reading of Hansel and Gretel, the three of us had a great conversation in which they told me about some struggles they were having regarding gender.
The kids' reluctance to swap genders, and the conversation that ensued, showed me that the queering of fairy tales is needed. This gave me the idea to create a zine for children that questioned the representation of gender in a fairy tale. I'm trying to create a way to read and enjoy these tales critically so that neither adults nor children internalize the outdated gender dynamics.
The zine, Cinderello, will be printed mid-summer thanks to Check Your Head's "Actualizing Change" program. They will be sold in local stores for two or three dollars a piece, and the proceeds will support Girls Rock Camp Vancouver. This is in an effort to further support kids of one gender who have an interest in a behaviour or activity that's usually reserved for the other gender.* Girls Rock Camp encourages girls to form rock bands. Without Girls Rock Camp, many girls in Vancouver would not have as high of self-esteem or such an empowering community of female artists and role models.
*If I ever make a similar zine, I will use proceeds to support a local organization that would empower boys who wish to behave outside of expectations of their gender. Please contact me via the comments below if you know of programs that specifically support boys in embracing alternate gender roles/activities traditionally reserved for girls. **
**Two great picture books that do just this for boys have been published in the last five years. Check out 10,000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert and My Princess Boy by Cheryl Kilodavis.

A Colorado-based company says about 600,000 people have scanned its satellite images for clues to the fate of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner that disappeared on Saturday. I live in the UK, but I can watch TV from stations all over the world, no matter where in the world I am. You can even use a dial up connection with most of the software but obviously a broadband connection (even on wireless) will give superior results.
Organizing seminars and conferences in coordination with the Telecommunication Regulatory Authorities and other international organizations at a global and regional level, on the benefits of satellite communications to developing countries, and raising awareness of the advantages of open satellite markets.
Buenos Aires (AFP) – Argentina is launching a geostationary communications satellite Thursday that was built at home with local technology, a first for Latin America. However, you would need to first enable your PC to receive and interpret the satellite TV channel feed using what we call a PCTV card. To watch TV on your PC you need to purchase a piece of software which you generally download.
For most people the TV coaxial cable has offered better performance than DSL, but if you were highly price conscious, then the DSL cable may have been competitive. If you are using a 3 LNB and 80cm fixed dish, you can receive the entire BBC, and approximately more than 600 free TV and above 500 free radio channels, completely legal. The largest artificial satellite currently orbiting the earth is the International Space Station, which can sometimes be seen with the unaided human eye. Lucky fans with a high definition television get more national HD channels via satellite than with any other TV provider. More than one television can be hooked up to the satellite dish allowing different programs to be watched at the same time. The customer's location may be equipped with a satellite modem to convert digital information into analog form.
Satellite radio is a digital signal that sounds cleaner and has virtually no static because with digital signals you either have close to full quality or nothing at all. From here, the data is sent to the network system, which consists of routers and optical cables that connect to the Internet backbone. Today's satellite dishes are small and compact compared to those of even several years ago. Let us take a look at the following components you need to watch TV via satellite for free using digital satellite TV signals. Both terrestrial and Satellite TV use essentially the same kind of signals but by beaming the signal from above, one satellite is able to serve a wider area.

He was a 1964 graduate of the former J.W. Cooper High School, Shenandoah.

He was a member of Divine Mercy Parish, Shenandoah, formerly Saint Stephen's Church, and was a life member of the William Penn Fire Company and the Six County Firemen's Association. Moose was an avid outdoorsman, having enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping, and was a loyal and ardent Seattle Seahawks fan. Above all else, he treasured the time spent with his grandchildren.
Preceding him in death, in addition to his parents, were two brothers, Steven and Ronald Miersky. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
Surviving are his wife of 25 years, Barbara (Rumbel) Marnell Miersky; three sons, Andrew Marnell, of Shenandoah, Tony Marnell, of Allentown, and Jeffrey Marnell and his wife, Amy, of Hegins; one daughter, Brooke Huss and her husband, Michael, of Girardville; four grandchildren, Tyler and Allison Marnell and Natalie and Calysta Huss; nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

Interment with military honors will follow in St. Stephen's Cemetery, Shenandoah Heights. A viewing will be held from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home.

At least not in war zones. Could this ban idea be yet another Obama plan to destroy our military?
Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco will remain fixtures in war zones, despite a recent Department of Defense-commissioned study that recommended eliminating tobacco use in the military, a spokesman for Defense Secretary Robert Gates said this week.
Gates believes stemming tobacco could put more unwanted stress on servicemembers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, spokesman Geoff Morrell said Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
"I don't think that he is interested in adding to their stress levels by taking away one of the few outlets they may have to relieve stress — and that may be chewing tobacco or smoking cigarettes," Morrell said during a press briefing.
The remarks highlight the DOD's complicated relationship with tobacco and appear to be a push back against the Institute of Medicine study released in June that criticized the military for wanting to limit use while also selling and distributing cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. STARS & STRIPES
You know Obama has gone too far when even liberals like Whoopi Goldberg bash the idea.

Why integrate research in website projects
Each design project is lined by a grey zone of unknown. Consider there is a series of "I see!" moments, which you don't know about but which may decide the success of the whole project. Sure, looking into web analytics or at questionnaire survey enables you to track down a particular trend. But why is this trend present and how to work with it? How to get the right customer? What do we need to change?
And why do we find out just now?
With research you get
- Validation of your business plan before vast investments into development and marketing.
- Complex information about your customers, which will guide you throughout the project.
- Higher ROI.
Matter of time
The most effective process flow starts and ends with a well-done user research, which should start the whole project. Ideally, it continually shapes the core strategy. Research in a timely manner saves resources and shortens the delivery time for a product, which is both – a benefit for the users and a successful business at the same time.

Atlanta Pre-filter
This is the 20 inch pre-filter we recommend for Fulton County.
The municipality changes water sources every six months. When the water that has been sitting in the pipes for a half-year is pushed through, it needs extra filtration. It's best to use this less-expensive pre-filter for that clean-up rather than your main tank.
This pre-filter protects your main tank during that turn-over, and adds extra protection to your whole-house system all the time.
Change the filter cartridge inside every 140,000 gallons. Check you water bill to see how much you use in a year, and note the numbers when your system is installed. 140,000 gallons might be 16 to 18 months, but that is just a general estimate.

If you're like me, you're reading a lot about the different Roomba models, but frankly, I'm still puzzled by the sheer number of existing models, so I decided to do my research, based on my individual needs and my living void.
Roomba comes in various models, including a series of the pets, as well as a variety of price ranges. There are regular features as great as expensive high-end models. You may wonder which one you are?
With some guilt, it's good to watch a small bowl-shaped object sliding on the ground, collecting all the dust and dirt along the way. After you turn it on or plan to clean it, it empties your house, leaves your hands free of other things, so relaxes and relax on the couch and watch football on a Sunday night.
The problem is choosing which one to buy. As with almost any product in the world, the speed and development of new technologies in the 21st century allowed Roomba to remain at the forefront of the vacuum cleaner industry. For example, the new 700 series includes all the features of the previous models, which provide enhanced features that have only been introduced for models 500 and 600. The other new feature consists of a touch screen, eliminating the need to use buttons! With the 770 and 780 models (dirt detection … I call it "dirt inspector"), improvements were achieved as a result of cleaning. They can not only detect lighter dirt particles, such as oatmeal, fluff, and leaves, but they collect dirt more efficiently than its predecessors, and for long periods, because the design is smaller than before, and the battery life now increases about 50%.
Speaking of efficiency, the indicator warns at 770 and 780 when the dust container is at its end. This prevents a scenario where garbage piles up on your floors, even if you don't understand that Roomba has stopped working. If you are looking for a less expensive "dirty" model without frills, there are many other models on the market besides the 700 series, such as the base 400 models. This is a wise choice if you want the basics. His sister, Series 500, will give you a better idea of all the possibilities that Roomba lines can offer you. That's why the 500 Series offers longer battery life, higher power, and predefined scheduling options, while the 400 Series offers essential cleaning functions without these additional bells and whistles.
There is also the 600 series, an update for the 500 series, but it does not contain all the features offered by the 700 lines.
Please note that in each series, there are different models to choose from. Today, 780 offers the most features. As technology continues to adapt to our changing world, features that were considered "optional" in the past are likely to become standard features and will keep with iRobot innovation.
In the end, the model that suits you depends on your commitment, your budget, and your space requirements. Roomba is an investment and iRobot has provided options to suit most budgets and needs.
