HOULTON, Maine — The penguin is gone, and Houlton Middle-High School has a new mascot to fire up the crowds at sporting events.
The school unveiled "The Judge" mascot at a student assembly Jan. 8, and the character made its first appearance at Houlton's girls basketball game against Central Aroostook later that night.
With a team name of "Shiretowners," coming up with a mascot to cheer at sporting events has proven challenging. Merriam Webster's dictionary defines a "Shire Town" as "a town where a court of superior jurisdiction — such as a circuit court or a court with a jury — sits."
"A committee started working on the possibility of a new mascot last year as the penguin costume had reached the end of its healthy life," RSU 29 Superintendent Ellen Halliday said. "Plus, many comments over the years had been made regarding the penguin as a mascot. People did not know we had a penguin for the most part, and then they could not understand why we were penguins as we are called the Shiretowners."
The penguin mascot was featured throughout the mid-1980s but in recent years has not been spotted at basketball games. It was resurrected for the Shires' tournament run last year, but the costume showed pretty severe signs of aging.
That mascot was selected because of the black and white color schemes associated with penguins. Those colors also matched Houlton's school colors.
Houlton cheering coach Renae Foley said the mascot will be a part of her squad since the Maine Principals Association requires all mascots to be associated with school-sanctioned cheering teams, particularly for use at the Maine Basketball Tournament in February.
"A shire was known as the county seat where there was the county court/judge," Halliday said. "Feedback was asked for and received and the new mascot was approved by me. The costume was made by a Canadian company who specifically makes mascots. We are excited to have a new, vibrant mascot uniform that is more user-friendly."
After much discussion the committee recommended the judge as a new character to be the school's mascot. Some students at the middle-high school were included in the selection process, as were younger elementary students.
A second mascot — a horse — was also considered because a Shire is a breed of horse, Halliday said.
"We went with the judge as that is more closely related to why we are the Shiretowners," she said.
The name for the mascot has yet to be determined, Halliday said.
The school keeps the identity of the person in the mascot costume a secret to allow the student to have plenty of freedom to bring the character to life in his or her own way.

Kisses, She Wrote: A Christmas Romance (Prince Catchers Novella)
Katharine Ashe
Christmas on the town hasn't ever been so steamy . . .
Handsome as sin and scandalously rakish, Cam Westfall, the Earl of Bedwyr, is each younger lady's wickedest dream. Shy wallflower Princess Jacqueline of Sensaire is aware this higher than someone, simply because her desires are filled with the breathtaking earl's kisses. and never in simple terms her dreams—her diary, too.
But while Cam discovers the maiden's not-so-maidenly diary, will her wildest Christmas needs be fulfilled in its pages . . . or in his arms?
Noble, his jaw robust, his cheek worthwhile and his nostril patrician. His mouth is gorgeous either at leisure and in movement, his lips sublimely contoured, his smile amazing. His eyes are the colour of fertile earth, the richest brown and sometimes glowing with deviltry. His hair is tawny and thick, like solar and gold. His determine is bracingly manly, from his extensive shoulders to his lengthy legs to his powerful, supple fingers. It was once at this second that Cam idea maybe to shut the diary, go back it to its hiding.
And to observe her face as she chanced on the miracle that he'd lengthy for the reason that taken with no consideration. He desired to be her first, the god she imagined him to be. however it wasn't in basic terms that, he knew within the pit within him. With her—inexperienced, shrewdpermanent, too clever for him, and much too honest—he desired to be a great guy. He desired to be a greater guy. He desired to deserve the friendship she used to be supplying him. that during one other fact, one other global, she may well supply him her physique to boot may well stay a tantalizing.
It. That he had sought after this night to finish up this fashion too in basic terms proven his depravity two times over. Her arms upon his chest gave approach to her breasts, then the slim size of her physique got here opposed to him. With their mouths locked, she struggled to catch up with, urgent to him, her fingers looking. It wasn't adequate for her, and it certain as hell wasn't sufficient for him. Sliding his arms down her facets, he grasped her hips and lifted her onto the piano best. She wrapped her palms round his neck and welded.
Tray of gentle French pastries, she selected as a substitute a dried grape from a silver dish. "Sufficient for what?" Her mom forged her a crisp glance. "Sufficient to help your brother with the company of our kingdom." She consistently acknowledged "our country" as though she have been king, although she wasn't even a queen any further, fairly. whilst Jacqueline have been an child and her father died, Parliament proclaimed that not more kings might reign in Sensaire. The prince may maintain his position as head of kingdom, but when the.
girl Preston in recent times, have you ever, Charles?" Tony acknowledged with a smile. "Preston is a bastard." "That's what they are saying. however the Dowager woman Preston insists it isn't so." A ready pause ensued, then Tony dissolved into deep chuckles. "It is pathetic whilst a guy needs to giggle at his personal quips to fill the silence, Anthony." "No extra pathetic than sitting round ape-faced for weeks upon end," his pal countered pleasantly. "If you haven't been servicing the beautiful woman Preston whereas her lord speechifies.

976 The Apostle's Creed associates faith in the forgiveness of sins not only with faith in the Holy Spirit, but also with faith in the Church and in the communion of saints. It was when he gave the Holy Spirit to his apostles that the risen Christ conferred on them his own divine power to forgive sins: "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."520
- (Part Two of the catechism will deal explicitly with the forgiveness of sins through Baptism, the sacrament of Penance, and the other sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Here it will suffice to suggest some basic facts briefly.)
977 Our Lord tied the forgiveness of sins to faith and Baptism: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved."521 Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ, who died for our sins and rose for our justification, so that "we too might walk in newness of life."522
978 "When we made our first profession of faith while receiving the holy Baptism that cleansed us, the forgiveness we received then was so full and complete that there remained in us absolutely nothing left to efface, neither original sin nor offenses committed by our own will, nor was there left any penalty to suffer in order to expiate them. . . . Yet the grace of Baptism delivers no one from all the weakness of nature. On the contrary, we must still combat the movements of concupiscence that never cease leading us into evil "523
979 In this battle against our inclination towards evil, who could be brave and watchful enough to escape every wound of sin? "If the Church has the power to forgive sins, then Baptism cannot be her only means of using the keys of the Kingdom of heaven received from Jesus Christ. The Church must be able to forgive all penitents their offenses, even if they should sin until the last moment of their lives."524
980 It is through the sacrament of Penance that the baptized can be reconciled with God and with the Church:
- Penance has rightly been called by the holy Fathers "a laborious kind of baptism." This sacrament of Penance is necessary for salvation for those who have fallen after Baptism, just as Baptism is necessary for salvation for those who have not yet been reborn.525
981 After his Resurrection, Christ sent his apostles "so that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations."526 The apostles and their successors carry out this "ministry of reconciliation," not only by announcing to men God's forgiveness merited for us by Christ, and calling them to conversion and faith; but also by communicating to them the forgiveness of sins in Baptism, and reconciling them with God and with the Church through the power of the keys, received from Christ:527
- [The Church] has received the keys of the Kingdom of heaven so that, in her, sins may be forgiven through Christ's blood and the Holy Spirit's action. In this Church, the soul dead through sin comes back to life in order to live with Christ, whose grace has saved us.528
982 There is no offense, however serious, that the Church cannot forgive. "There is no one, however wicked and guilty, who may not confidently hope for forgiveness, provided his repentance is honest.529 Christ who died for all men desires that in his Church the gates of forgiveness should always be open to anyone who turns away from sin.530
983 Catechesis strives to awaken and nourish in the faithful faith in the incomparable greatness of the risen Christ's gift to his Church: the mission and the power to forgive sins through the ministry of the apostles and their successors:
- The Lord wills that his disciples possess a tremendous power: that his lowly servants accomplish in his name all that he did when he was on earth.531
Priests have received from God a power that he has given neither to angels nor to archangels . . . . God above confirms what priests do here below.532
Were there no forgiveness of sins in the Church, there would be no hope of life to come or eternal liberation. Let us thank God who has given his Church such a gift.533
984 The Creed links "the forgiveness of sins" with its profession of faith in the Holy Spirit, for the risen Christ entrusted to the apostles the power to forgive sins when he gave them the Holy Spirit.
985 Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of the forgiveness of sins: it unites us to Christ, who died and rose, and gives us the Holy Spirit.
986 By Christ's will, the Church possesses the power to forgive the sins of the baptized and exercises it through bishops and priests normally in the sacrament of Penance.
987 "In the forgiveness of sins, both priests and sacraments are instruments which our Lord Jesus Christ, the only author and liberal giver of salvation, wills to use in order to efface our sins and give us the grace of justification" (Roman Catechism, I, 11, 6).

Romanian Government To Abolish Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Book Law
The Romanian government this week is set to abolish a law allowing convicts to spend less time behind bars if they write books, Raluca Pruna, the country's justice minister said in an interview. In the past few years, Romanian courts have sentenced hundreds of people to jail for corruption, fraud and abuse of power, including high-ranking politicians, football club owners and businessmen. But a law dating back to 2013, allowing convicts to shave off one month of jail time for each scientific book they write, has created an entire book-publishing industry for what Romanians call "luxury convicts." In 2014, 89 such books were published, while in 2015, the number spiked to 337. Some convicts wrote books at implausible speed, triggering suspicions of plagiarism and fraud. The country's anti-corruption prosecutors have meanwhile opened an investigation into university professors who vouched for the books, publishing houses who accepted to print them and penitentiary officials who recommended the early release of the convicts. Ms. Pruna, the justice minister, said the law has triggered a big debate in Romanian society. "There is no equivalent in any EU member state for having any benefit for writing a scientific book behind bars. We also have discrimination here, because if I'm painting while executing a sentence, I get nothing. Artistic work is not to be rewarded in any way," Ms. Pruna said. "So yes, I will make a proposal to the government to take off this provision, on Feb. 3," she said. The government is expected to adopt the proposal, which will enter into force immediately.

Earlier this summer, one of the more persistent pieces of transfer tittle-tattle linked Chelsea with a move for the CSKA Moscow midfielder Aleksandr Golovin.
The 22-year-old showed during his appearances for Russia in the 2018 World Cup that he was a talented operator.
But, despite the constant mutterings that he was indeed bound for London, the most recent speculation, coming from the Italia news source, tuttosport, suggests that the player is not in favour of a move to the capital city.
Instead, it's being championed that Golovin has his sights set on a move to Serie A with the reigning title holders Juventus.
If so, that will be disappointing news, Golovin will, as far as we're concerned, go on to be a world-class player and we were hoping that it would be in the famous blue shirt of Chelsea as opposed famous black and white striped shirts of the Old Lady of Turin!
Here at Vital Chelsea Towers, we're at a loss as to why anybody would prefer life in Turin as opposed to a stint in London.

Atletico Madrid came from one goal behind to draw 1-1 with Spanish champions Barcelona in Wednesday night's La Liga clash at Camp Nou.
Ivan Rakitic had sent Barcelona, who remain third in the table, into a 41st-minute lead, but Atletico levelled just past the hour through Angel Correa as Diego Simeone's side continued their unbeaten start.
As expected, it was the home side that dominated possession inside the opening 10 minutes, but aside from a weak header from Rakitic, which fell for Jan Oblak, Atletico were allowed a comfortable start.
It took until the 15th minute for Barcelona to register a proper attempt on target and that came from Lionel Messi, whose powerful strike from the edge of the box was saved by Oblak.
Down the other end, Marc-Andre ter Stegen was forced into action to keep out a curling effort from Carrasco as both sides had decent chances to make the breakthrough.
Barcelona continued to dominate the possession as the first period gathered pace, although Atletico were always a threat on the counter-attack and Carrasco fired another strike wide of Ter Stegen's post on the 30-minute mark.
Neymar was next to come close for the hosts after the ball fell for the Brazilian outside the box, but his curling effort missed the post.
The home side would not take no for an answer, however, and took the lead in the 41st minute when Rakitic headed a wonderful Iniesta cross into the bottom corner from inside the box.
Atletico almost equalised straight from kickoff when Griezmann drove through the heart of the Barcelona midfield before striking towards goal, but Ter Stegen was on hand to make the save.
There was hardly time to take a breath at the start of the second period as the match flowed from end-to-end and Griezmann again had a shot from distance in the 49th minute, but this time the Frenchman cleared the home side's goal.
Barcelona were forced to make a change just before the hour when Messi over-stretched his groin and it was former Atletico midfielder Arda Turan that replaced the Argentine, who limped off the field at Camp Nou. It was the second injury blow for the hosts in the second half as Sergio Busquets was also replaced.
It went from bad to worse for Barcelona as Atletico levelled the scores in the 61st minute when Correa, who had only just come on, took advantage of a mistake from Gerard Pique before finding the bottom corner with a fine finish.
Atletico seemed intent on going for Barcelona in the minutes after the equaliser, but it was the home side that were dominating in the latter stages and Neymar brought a brilliant save from Oblak after skinning Juanfran 10 minutes from time.
Pique was next to come close for the home side after meeting a late free kick from Neymar, but the centre-back's header dropped wide of the post, before Jordi Alba fired over late on. Atletico actually had a super chance to nick it in the 89th minute, only for Ter Stegen to keep out a bullet Diego Godin header.

This is not going to be a popular answer, but look, here is the deal, Obi Wan is going to die. I'M SORRY! Understand, yeah, it's gonna be an awesome fight. I mean, light sabers and avada kedavras all over the joint! RIVETING STUFF! It's going to go down like this: Obi Wan and Voldie are duking it out: It's Voldemort throws out a hex, Obi uses the force to deflect/dodge whatevs, this goes on for quite awhile. I mean there could be any number of different settings, but the ending will always be the same: Obi Wan will let Voldemort kill him so that he can become a part of the force forever and help his protege (whether it's luke or harry or whoever) to actually defeat Vodemort for good. Is it sad? Yes. But that's who Obi Wan is, and we can't change him. Obi just marches to the beat of his own drum and we have to respect that.

Hmm, I think we're comparing apples to oranges in this specific example because you're comparing evil wizard vs. good Jedi. I think a fairer comparison would be evil wizard vs. evil Jedi (Sith) because I could see their motives being similar (both Darth Vader and Voldemort are concerned with living forever) and if their motives conflicted I could see a serious battle.
The Emperor vs. Voldemort... now that I'd like to see.
If it's a straight duel a la wizard's duel, the Emperor wins, hands down. He could use the force to flick that little wand right out of Voldy's hand and lightning him to death. However, I think Voldy's a bit more cunning and would find a way to take the Emperor out without a direct confrontation.
Okay, Stephen has informed me that I'm wrong. A good Jedi would OF COURSE fight a bad wizard. I guess because Obi Wan has had suicidal tendencies I'm predisposed not to trust him in a duel to the death. Yoda would destroy Voldemort, absolutely, though I would prefer an episode II or III Yoda.

I feel a little torn on this one. Voldemort is pretty stinking sneaky, but, considering the fact that he was defeated by a teenager, I think he doesn't stand a chance against a powerful Jedi. And I would like to see a fight between the Emperor and Voldemort, too. And if I were to choose the Jedi, it would be Yoda as well. He's my favorite. (We short people have to stick together.)

I'm sorry, I can't help much with this debate. I don't know who Voldemort is (I'm assuming he's from Harry Potter and I've yet to read the books or see the movies). I hope after telling you this that we can still be friends.

I'm not really sure either. I've just been introduced to Voldemort in the last few weeks and I'd really like to think he'd lose just because he's Evil and he looks funny. And Yoda is adorable!
I would like to throw another person in the mix...Wizard vs. Jedi vs. Jack Bauer (for those of you who watched 24). Granted, Jack doesn't have any magical or mystical powers, but I still think he'd put up a good fight.

It's not often you hear the saying; "Magic Happens"!
Fashback to 27th February, the first degustation night at Via Campanella Cucina & Bar and the magic was definitely happening!
The food and wine pairing sensational, the staff and band outstanding, and the energy of fellow guests made the night one to remember!

Waller Calls Time On Catkins & Boban Careers
Two of trainer Chris Waller's highest profile gallopers have had time called on their respective race careers. Popular mare Catkins (Dubawi-Salix Caprea, by Catbird) was given a searching trial on Monday morning to see if her disappointing run in the Gr2 Millie Fox Stakes 10 days ago was an aberration, however the 5-times Gr1-placed mare showed little of what pundits know she is capable of despite finishing runner-up, and she is now headed to the breeding barn. Meanwhile, Waller also announced the retirement yesterday of his 5-time Gr1 winner Boban (Bernardini-Kenbelle, by Kenmare). The striking 6YO gelding, whose career earnings approached close to $3 million, finished 10th of 11 runners in last weekend's Gr1 Futurity Stakes and hadn't won since last September's Gr1 Memsie Stakes.

The reception drinks were outside in the sunshine and we worked together to take candid shots and organise the group shots. There was some tree cover which we used for the group photographs to avoid uneven light and sunshine in people's eyes.
At the wedding breakfast we always try and get loads of shots before the food comes out as it's best not to photograph people as they eat. We often take a break and prepare ourselves for the speeches. When taking pictures during the speeches it can be tricky to capture the right moment. We often use our silent shutter mode to capture multiple shots in quick and succession without it being noisy or districting. One of our cameras the A7sii is also great in low light meaning we often don't have to use flash.
The final part of the day, the dancing is always great fun but also a challenge as can be over quickly. It's often a balance of making sure you get a clear shot and also trying a few more creative photographs as well.

|Alex as a tiny baby mancat.
Alex was an OLDE mancat age 19 when Busby and I came to live here in our forever home. I tried be be just like Alex, because us black cats always stick together.
|Alex on the left and me on the right. He really liked that spot on the couch.
Even when Alex was having the final stages of CRF and had to sleep on pee pads, I stuck by him.
Sometimes I even sat right on TOP of Alex, but he never complained or hissed at me. Black cats stick together through thick and thin!
So on this Black Cat Appreciation day, THIS black cat appreciates the black cat who came before. ALEX! He went to the rainbow bridge at the ripe olde age of 23. We miss you Alex!

Lodge, Ireland's most famous fishing lodge, was for many years the
sporting playground of the Marquis of Sligo. A large comfortable
1830's country house, with great atmosphere, it is set in a deep
valley of unparalleled beauty. The spectacular mountain location
has inspired many writers over the years and Delphi was recently
described by the New York Times as "an inviolable wilderness
preserve" and by the Financial Times as "an estate of
fabulous beauty".
The famous Delphi Fishery offers private fly-fishing for wild salmon
and sea trout on a delightful little river and lake system.
Though fishing is a primary pastime, Delphi is also popular with
hill walkers, artists, golfers and horsemen and, being very remote,
it offers real peace and relaxation to all guests. On wet days a
billiard room, an eclectic library and a fine wine list help to
pass the time. Guests normally eat together at a vast oak table
and the atmosphere is that of a friendly house party.

What we do
At the interface of biology and computer science, we seek to better understand evolutionary and functional relationships between genes, genomes and species. Key underlying questions are:
- How can we extrapolate current biological knowledge, concentrated in a few model organisms, to the rest of life?
- Conversely, how can we exploit the wealth and diversity of life to better grasp an organism of interest?
- Can we summarize the evolutionary history of species as a sparse mixture of tree topologies?
Our activities are divided between bioinformatics methods and resource development, and their application – typically with experimentalists.
The group develops the OMA resource, the Phylo.io tree viewer, and the ALF genome evolution simulator.

Natalie is pretty fired up about America's Birthday until she finds out that all the American Flags are made in China.
Natalie just lost her tooth and she really lost it because it fell down the drain. So she wrote a note to the Tooth fairy to explain it all.
Natalie does her best impression of what Peppermint Patty might sound like if she were a kid in today's politically correct world.
Natalie calls her friend Samantha in Iowa to see what is going on with the Caucus' that have invaded the Hawkeye State.
After Kobe and Shaquille were trading insult raps, Natalie wrote her own rap to let everybody know just who is the mix master. Take a listen to Natalie B-I-G.
Natalie and her friend were playing in the sandbox when a city they built had an energy crisis. They decided they needed to do some off shore drilling near the swimming pool.
Even six and a half year old get Neuosis and Natalie is no exception. The only difference is that she isn't a certified nut job.

14. Tech Tip: Using Windows Search Companion
Help! I lost a file and I can�t find it.
Ever have that happen to you? Of course you have � everyone loses a file every once in a while. So if you know how to use Windows search tools, you can find the file easily and quickly. Windows XP calls their search tools �Windows Search Companion� � hereafter referred to as WSC.
First, the keyboard shortcut to opening up the Search tools is F3. Press F3 and you will get WSC. Or do it the old fashioned way � click on Start, then click on Search. The Search Results window will appear.
Time to start your first search. The first thing you need to determine is what you want to search for. If you can narrow down what you want to search for, you can save time. For example, if you are looking for a Word document, you would select Documents. If you are looking for a picture, you would select Pictures, music or video. By selecting one of these options, your search will look through just those types of files.
Remember, the more you narrow down your search criteria, the faster your search will be.
You can use Advanced Search options in all of these searches which will help speed up your search even more. For example, you can specify where to search for a file (or folder). If you save all your documents in the My Documents folder, you can select to search in just that folder. This will save you quite a bit of time.
Or you can specify things like the file size or the date the file was modified. Or, if you are searching for a file that has text, you can search for �A specific word or phrase in the document.�
So, be sure to try to use the advanced features in your searches.
If you search for a file and it results in dozens or hundreds of files found, then you will get the option to refine the search by narrowing the search criteria. I just searched for �tt� (that�s how I name my Tech Tips), and that resulted in 351 file names that had �tt� in the file name � it�s time to refine that search a bit.
One other option is searching for files on other computers that are a part of your workgroup or network.
One last thing, you will notice that you have the option of using Indexing Service (for faster local services). Don�t use this option! It does not significantly increase the speed and efficiency of your searches, but it does slow down your computer in general because it has to continually update the index. The way it works is that when you are supposedly not doing anything on your computer, it will decide to update the index of your files. This will eventually drive you crazy. And I would hate for anyone to end up in an asylum because they were using the indexing feature of WSC.
Now the important stuff. The default animated animal ( or object) is the dog � his name is Rover. If you click on Rover, you get 3 options: (1) You can choose a different animated character, (2) you can turn off the animated character, or (3) you can ask the animated character to do a trick. Well, I�m a cat man myself, so I changed the animated dog to Links, the cat. And on a slow day, I ask Links to do tricks for me. He�s not as good at the tricks as Rover, but you know how cats can be!!
Practice your searches and you�ll always be able to find that lost file.

Reduce Hyperpigmentation
Skin Care Tips
Reduce Hyperpigmentation
Reduce Hyperpigmentation, Pigmentation Creams and Hyper Pigmentation Treatment, Melasma Hyperpigmentation
My complexion is wheatish and I am having a severe pigmentation problem on my hands and back. I just want to know that what is the permanent cure of this problem so that I can get my original skin tone?
Hyperpigmentation is a very common and relatively harmless
skin problem
Hyperpigmentation causes
certain areas of the skin to become darker than the surrounding skin. The darkening is the result of melanin being produced in an excess. This melanin is a pigment that is brown in color and is responsible for our skin's color. Also known as age or liver spots, often the most common culprit for over pigmentation is the damage caused by the sun.
is of different types and generally melasma or chloasma spots are larger in size and occur due to hormonal changes in the body. Hyperpigmentation however as mentioned earlier is due to the UV rays effect on the melanin levels in the skin. The melanin tends to go in to overdrive when exposed to the sun in order to protect the lower layers of the skin. Therefore, the easiest
skin care
remedy you can use to curb hyperpigmentation is using a good quality sunscreen with a high sun protection factor that protects you from both UV- A and UV- B radiations.
There are some prescription pigmentation creams that are available at all drug stores. These creams target the level of melanin production and inhibit their productions levels to a certain extent. This helps balance out the contrast between the normal skin and the patches. There are also prescription bleach creams that use hydroquinone to treat the
. It is important though that you consult your doctor or dermatologist before trying out any of these medications as treatment varies from skin type to skin type. These cures however allow no permanent solution and require long term use in order to yield results. However they are quite effective and less dangerous compared to the next form of treatment to be discussed.
A permanent solution that you can try in order to cure the
hyper pigmentation
is the use of laser treatment. There are a number of them and they are quite efficient at removing pigment without excessive scarring. The procedure is relatively painless and does not take long. The recovery period however takes about two weeks and is a little painful as the skin heals. The laser treatment method depends on the skin type you have as it changes the way your skin reacts to sun exposure. Laser treatment can be carried out with the help of your dermatologist who will guide you through what kind of
skin treatment
you will need and whether your skin will react positively to the treatment.

While a box springtime can make this work over a thin metal frame on the flooring. A platform system already has this support built into it. Wooden slat systems are a popular option for numerous beds. Exactly what takes place is a shelf or ledge is built into the side rails of the bed. On top of this ledge will sit the wooden slats. These are usually linked together using a polypropylene material which enables them to area out properly over the bed. Wood screws are then utilized to secure the slats to the rails. These slats serve a fundamental role in supporting the mattress. This is an attempted and real method for bed building.
A mattress topper or a mattress pad is something you put on leading of your mattress. They are usually five centimeters remarkable and its intent is to offer you more amenities, more aid, or the two. Ahead of, they are produced of basic resources this sort of as feather and wool, already plenty of various other present day forms have actually been added. Undergo this post to figure out which is for you. Latex mattresses are extremely proposed simply due to the fact that they are manufactured of healthy materials, as they arrive from the sap of the rubber tree. It is naturally degradable as efficiently as permeable so it will enable your skin to breathe and does not cause you to sweat. Instead of various other mattresses or mattress pads, it does not make you awkward but keeps you cool even in the warmest evenings.
Is there any better, more effective way to use the area you have in your children's space than by making use of bunk beds? Today's bunk beds are modern, modular, sculptural productions that take an old hazardous idea (i.e., your father's bunk beds) and change the idea into something that is totally visual and safe for all however the really youngest of children. Security is, of course, the primary concern when purchasing bunk beds; today, numerous bunk beds provide safety functions to prevent your children from tumbling from the upper bunk. Specifically, improved safety ladders and guard rails will provide more comfort for parents.
Timeless and sophisticated bedroom sets are an excellent way of providing your bedroom. Bedroom sets usually consist of bed frames, closets, dressers, and side tables. The benefit of going for a bedroom set is that you get the entire bedroom provided with matching furniture and it can help you easily create a harmonious style. To create a traditional look, go for wooden bedroom sets in a variety of types and finishes like oak, mahogany, cherry, pine, walnut and maple. These sets can also be tailored to your preferences and you can add various other furniture pieces to them if you would like to, relying on what you need for your space. For instance, if you appreciate viewing TELEVISION in your bedroom, an ideal choice would be to obtain an armoire or entertainment wall to go along with the basic set where you can install your entertainment equipment. Or, perhaps you need simply some extra space to keep things. A wonderful choice would be the addition of a storage bench.
The mirror has been a smart addition in the contemporary age. A strategically placed mirror can really enhance not only the appearance of the space however can also provide you an illusion of a larger space. Incorporating the functions of a mirror with the storage and organizing capacities of a precious jewelry armoire has made this furniture piece very versatile.
When you are out there to get one for your house then you are sure to get confused since there are plenty of sets available in the market which come in different shapes and sizes. Prior to you go to purchase bedding sets, do set your standards on which you would make your selection.

I wrote this blog back in 2016. It was and is my way to release my anger over all this awareness stuff. I wrote different " parts" to my story, and my opinion. This blog starts with " today" is October 1st, let the games begin, even though I had written other blogs before then so, I'm going to leave it as it is written because the message is the same. I'm talking about breast cancer awareness month. I am ready to do some heavy meditating to get me past all this awareness crap. I'm sorry but for me as a survivor I believe it goes way past the awareness phase now.
If you have read any of my earlier blogs you know that I am all about TAKING ACTION NOW in regards to cancer. We need to encourage people and providers to take action when something goes haywire in our bodies. Now I could rant on, and go quite in depth on this topic but, the final message would still be the same. Do something now. That's it. Don't wait and watch!
I knew a nurse who worked in a doctor's office. She had a lump in her breast. He told her it was nothing, "let's watch it." and after another year he said the same thing, " it is nothing, let's watch it." Finally, not trusting in her trusty doctor, she went to someone else and 2 years later she had to undergo horrific cancer treatment that lasted for several years. She ended up with brain damage from a stroke brought on by her treatments, and walks and talks like a stroke victim, even though she started out as a victim of cancer.
I also had a friend who was getting more and more fatigued. The doctor kept putting him on antibiotics." Sinuses" he said. " Bronchitis" he called it. No lab work was done he was just kept giving him medications. He went three go rounds as I remember it. He kept getting worse and finally SIX months later the doctor ordered some lab testing, and it was off the charts bad. He had cancer. He ended up having to go through the worse type of treatment and almost died. Today he is doing pretty good, not great, but pretty good.
There are stories galore that could fill a library with the written words of these victims of cancer. Stories of the things that were missed or were down played for one reason or another.
I am not writing this to point fingers at anyone. I am writing this to encourage people AND providers to take action instead of watching and waiting. Do better testing, do better treatments, get involved in your own care even if you are afraid.
I know that people think they shouldn't have to look things up, that their doctors should know it all. Well they don't so, you need to get a little pushy with your doctor, ask questions, ask for referrals, look up the most current testing, and change doctors if you are not happy with your care.
We must take action. It is our bodies, and our well being at stake. One of my favorite doctors always said " when in doubt check it out."
Every time something is wrong in my body I panic. I can't help it. I have had bad things go wrong, and I have survived the treatments. Still, let something be out of whack, and I am instantly filled with fear.
I had a positive stool test ( for blood) so my doctor recommended a colonoscopy. For the next couple of weeks I panicked at least once a day, afraid of having the test, afraid not to have the test. Thankfully the colonoscopy was normal. Sometimes those test give a false positive. Dam it!
I am three weeks post surgery right now. I had to have a hysterectomy. I had pain, I had cyst on my ovaries, I had bowel issues, and I had a boat load of fear. The surgery went well. No cancer thank the lord.
And that is what having had cancer does to you. It builds fear into everything related to your health. I hate it that I get so frightened. It's a normal reaction though and will be there forever.
I would like to see others get the care they need sooner rather then later. I want to say screw awareness. Is there anyone out there that is surprised by what cancer does to the human body, and the human spirit. I don't think so. Is there anyone out there who doesn't know the statistics? Probably not. We need to change the theme. It needs to be TAKE ACTION NOW against cancer. Any kind of cancer.
So whenever you hear it is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Shout out that it needs to be TAKE ACTION NOW month. And have a great and healthy day today because you deserve it.

Online Almanacs and Yearbooks Please explore thoroughly.
Ready Reference Materials Slide Show
Ready Reference Slide Show
Almanacs are usually issued annually and compress a vast amount of information, both current and dated, into one book. They first originated to supply calendar and astronomical information. The word "almanac" was first used by Roger Bacon in the 13th century, and Benjamin Franklin was well known for putting together Poor Richard's Almanac. The World Almanac and Book of Facts goes back as far as 1868. Information Please, which was first published in 1947, is another American almanac. Some states, such as Texas, also issue annual almanacs. Kane's Famous First Facts has information about hundreds of "firsts" in American history. An example of that is that the first American passport was issued on July 8, 1796.
Almanacs have many lists of entries. The contents vary, depending on the publisher's decisions as to the scope and the original source materials that were consulted.
Almanacs may contain information about the year's political events and summaries of trends in a large range of fields, such as art and culture, education, business and industry, science and technology, sports and religion. They may carry lists of films, best-sellers, disasters, sporting records, biographies of important people, obituaries and crimes. Some give population statistics, brief histories, resources and government administrations for countries of the world, or have miscellaneous facts such as postal regulations, flags, income tax information, and such things as that.
Information is often condensed in lists and tables. The better almanacs include citations for the original source of the information. In some almanacs the index is in the front, sometimes doubling as a table of contents or located between the table of contents and the main lists of entries. In other almanacs it might be located in the back. The index may not give names of individuals, so you may have to look for them by subject. Also, if you know the year in which an event occurred, you should use the almanac for that year, and not the most current almanac.
Yearbooks are similar to almanacs, although they concentrate on statistical data and omit much of the miscellaneous information. The table of statistics included often cover a particular time span, rather than just one year.
Statistical yearbooks are generally arranged by country. For each they include basic information such as area, population, geographic features, government administration, births, deaths and marriages. They give facts on immigration, religion, education, finance, defense, communication, media, agriculture and commerce, and they describe national symbols such as anthems, flags and mottos.
The Statistical Abstract of the United States, first published in 1878, is the first print source for statistics of national importance, and provides ample references for additional information. Another useful yearbook is the Statesman's Yearbook, which was first published in 1864. Even though it is published in the United Kingdom, it contains information about the entire world.
The CIA /World Factbook provides a variety of up-to-date information, including statistics and other data.
Handbooks incorporate miscellaneous facts relevant to a particular subject. Much of it is presented in condensed formats such as equations, formulas, tables, graphs or charts. Many people use them for quick reference in a variety of professions, including medicine, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, mathematics, law, psychology, engineering and librarianship.
The best known handbook that is used by the general population is the Guinness Book of Records. It includes records for the tallest, longest, fastest, highest, smallest, shortest, and so on across the range of natural phenomena and human endeavor.
Another useful exception for a handbook is a university handbook. You have probably used one to check on course requirements and class descriptions.
Among handbooks you might find interesting are those that deal with dates, anniversaries and holidays. Would you like to know when to observe National Procrastination Week? You could use Chase's Calendar of World Events. Other handbooks cover occupations and vocational guidance, names and nicknames, trademarks, nutritional content of foods and legal rights for women, homosexuals and ethnic minorities. Field guides can help identify birds, flowers, reptiles, insects, shells, fish, trees and fungi.
Literary handbooks are a great help if you are studying English literature. The Dictionary of Literary Biography with nearly 200 volumes is a major source for biographies of authors, summaries of works, identification of characters, criticism and bibliographies. Contemporary Authors and Contemporary Literary Criticism are also sources for authors. Masterplots gives detailed digests of novels.
There are many manuals that give instructions, rules or procedures for performing certain tasks. They tend to be equated with "how-to" books. Subjects include parliamentary procedure, car and bicycle repair, home improvement, first aid, health and fitness, sports and games, gardening and etiquette.
Answer the following questions in the Discussions area of Canvas:
1. How often are almanacs, handbooks and yearbooks usually published?
2. Give two examples of almanacs.
3. What types of information can be found in an almanac?
4. Should you always use the most current almanac? Why or why not?

7. Give 5 examples of kinds of information found in a statistical yearbook.
8. Where is the Statesman's Yearbook published?
