If Justin Mulholland '16 learned one thing from his time at Greenville University and the transition into a career, it's this: "There is nothing more important than being faithful to Jesus in every moment."
When Justin says every moment, he means every moment. "Listen for Him in the quiet moments. Listen for Him in the loud moments. Look for Him in the boring, the mundane, the weird, the small."
From his moments as a student to his moments as an intern and then employee, Justin discovered opportunities to grow in Christ.
During Justin's years as a student at Greenville University, the Lord molded him for service and relationships. He worked as a resident chaplain (RC), so the rubber hit the road daily in terms of learning to serve.
"As an RC, you had to be adaptable as things came up, adaptable in planning and response" he remembers.
More than coordinating "floor" events, he learned to love his fellow students as Christ loved them, even in tough moments. Residence life leadership sometimes required Justin to mediate peer conflicts and help friends handle stress.
These relational lessons impacted Justin's social life beyond the dorm. He maintains that every personal connection at college presented an opportunity for spiritual growth.
"This life is a life that is supposed to be done together . . . every conversation, every response to adversity, every joy, every moment of grief that we share; all of these things, when done together, can point us toward Jesus Christ," he says.
This even applied on the soccer field, where Justin learned to "lose with grace" and prioritize good sportsmanship over winning at all costs.
The Lord began molding Justin again during an internship, this time with lessons in humility.
Justin interned with Forge Flint, a nonprofit focused on rehabbing neighborhoods in Flint, Michigan. Justin helped clean houses, paint, mow, replace roofs and more.
Along the way, he learned to view his "helper" status with humility.
"Jesus was already at work in the neighborhood and had been for a long time," Justin says. "We were not bringing Jesus to these people, we just had the chance to work with Jesus." He adds, "We could not come in and say we had all the right answers . . . we came, we listened, we shared, we ate together and we learned."
The members of Justin's team leant their talents without assuming the role of "savior." This empowered the people they helped to carry on the work even when the helpers left.
Each and every spiritual lesson during college prepared Justin for his current ministry at Gregory House.
Situated in a less "desirable" neighborhood in Springfield, Illinois, Gregory House seeks to bring intentional community and the love of Jesus to the neighborhood, investing in an area that many in the community avoid.
Here, Justin uses it all—the humility to keep his role in perspective, the passion for relationships, the perseverance through conflict and stress. Even the lessons in sportsmanship from his days on the soccer field come in handy; many of the neighbor kids play sports together and notice Justin's emphasis on respect and teamwork over winning.
Justin picked up one final lesson on his way out the door at Greenville University. He realized that God's call may not look the same for everyone.
"Sometimes Jesus does call us to a job right out of college, and that is awesome," he says.
For others, including Justin himself, the road turns differently. "I signed on for this ministry with no guarantee of a space to live and no guarantee of money. But this is where Jesus was calling."
God was faithful to work out the details.
"Recognize where Jesus is calling, respond in trust, and He will lead you on the right path," Justin says of his experience.

Chances are you've inspected a CHRISHABANA piece of jewelry during a weekend visit to Oak or Seven; his edgy goth-chic baubles are the kind of thing you want to hold in your hand to experience. We caught up with the NYC-based designer to talk about what's cooking for 2011, including a revamped collaboration with Urban Outfitters, his habit of watching Golden Girls in the studio, and the crucial importance of dance breaks.
Where are you from?
I was born in the Philippines, and lived there (for the most part) till I was twelve before coming to the US for good. I have lived a lot of my life in San Francisco and New York, where I currently live.
Tell us about your design background.
I have always been crafty and I loved to design and illustrate, even designing the armor for the characters my brother created when we were into Dungeons and Dragons. I followed this passion for design up until college where I went for about a year in art school, before dropping out. I continued with several design projects here and there, before establishing CHRISHABANA. I am pretty much self taught, learning various disciplines as I go.
Were you always interested in jewelry making?
In 2004, I started the line working in accessories and then made a transition to apparel only to realize in 2007 that jewelry was my passion. Since then I've been working on the line as you see it now. I appreciate jewelry because I wanted to translate my ideas and themes into pieces that, as forms, look crazy and edgy, but are at the same time wearable due to their scale. I get to make sculptural pieces that fit on someone's ear, finger, neck, or wrists – among other things.
Describe your signature aesthetic.
The CHRISHABANA line always evolves, but I tend to take on very aggressive and outwardly "scary" themes such as goth or fetishism and filter them through a pop lens. Basically thinking about what a person in middle America may think of goth and playing with that, turning it on its head, and putting it out there. It never ends up what it was supposed to be, which is what I like about it.
What inspires your collections?
It's always a mix. My personal life is always woven in the collections somewhat. Love, loss, obsessions. All of it. In addition, my early adult life were in the late 80's and early 90's and I draw heavy inspiration from those time periods and consequently the music and film of that era. Different collections are based on different inspirations within the time period. In particular, horror and cult films inspire me. Most recently, my Spring/Summer 2011 collection was heavily influenced by music from the likes of Yaz, Depeche Mode, and the Smiths.
Who do you see wearing CHRISHABANA jewelry?
The line is for boys and girls alike. I love girls that have a hard edge and guys that aren't afraid to wear jewelry. I'm always drawn to androgyny, which stems from my love of the eighties. Really, anyone who responds to my pieces is a blessing.
Any projects on the horizon?
I've got a lot coming up for 2011. This year we're expanding our successful collaboration line with Urban Outfitters. The new line will be more affordable and it's accessible to a broader audience. I am also continuing my line with Seven New York, which will be in its second season. Aside from that, the line is constantly expanding and shifting. All should be realized soon.
Any odd habits or quirks while you're designing? An industry anecdote, perhaps?
I always take dance breaks every couple hours or so. Or sometimes, I'll dispense with music altogether and put on my DVD of the Golden Girls and have that as white noise in the background. None of which are very goth, but all of which are pretty bad ass, in my opinion. As far as an industry anecdote, I met Tommy Hilfiger in an elevator and ended up getting a freelance job designing a few trims for him.
Is there a piece of jewelry you wear every day?
I subscribe to the philosophy of "more is more." I am always wearing at least one of my pieces, but it's usually three or four. Recently I've been wearing a lot of pieces from the spring/summer collection, "Mon Amour, Mon Ennemi" – especially the Swallowed Pearl Necklace.

PepsiCo's Tostitos, the NFL's official chip and dip brand, isn't running an ad during Super Bowl LII, but it is offering game-day party hosts a way to create personalized invitation "ads."
Super Bowl Ads for All, a digital tool launching today on Tostitos.com, lets users create invite videos "of the same caliber as a Super Bowl ad," promises the brand.
Users who enter the host's name, party location and time can choose and mix content featuring themes from past Super Bowl ads, including "an obligatory talking baby," puppies, explosions and nostalgic celebrity cameos.
Speaking of nostalgic celebrities, all videos created also include Alfonso Ribeiro — current host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" and a star of past TV shows including "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Overall, the tool is capable of generating hundreds of different combinations.
The footage of Ribeiro and the generic-theme subjects were shot by the creative agency, Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
Consumers who create video invitations are offered a buy-one, get-one-free Tostitos dip coupon.
The brand will also feature the invite technology — and an appearance by Ribeiro — at its cantina-style experience at the Super Bowl Live fan event to be held at Minneapolis's Nicollett Mall in the 10 days leading up to the game.
Last year, Tostitos's Super Bowl marketing focused on a partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving that offered discounts on Uber rides on game day. The offer was promoted through a video featuring real stories of people who have lost loved ones to drunk driving accidents — some after Super Bowl parties — and a small number of Tostitos bags rigged to be capable of detecting alcohol on users' breath and flashing a "don't drink and drive" warning.

For colleagues who may be interested in current research advances which may affect how we understand and practice agency and community within the current field of economic social relations, this inter-disciplinary theoretical conception may be informative. The problem which may be relevant to any settings of structured social organisation (a society, or the relations between two communities with economic and social ties, an organisation, a group, eg the economic and political elites within a field of economy-society) is that there most of our action is based on habits, which were seen in sociology as automatically reproduced, learnt responses, which do not bear a potential to critically change a practice (for the better) or allow individuals to engage in moral reflection of how to improve a practice (and themselves, as citizens and virtuous human beings). Instead, more or less we are inclined to act in ways which reproduce our past habits and past relations. This may mean that within an economic field of social relations agency is viewed in a sadly deterministic way, i.e. not bearing a dynamic possibility to enable further moral and cognitive development of the agents, nor a NEW experience of praxis and agency which dialogues on how all hope to improve the common good in a way which both the weaker and the stronger parties of economic relations prosper and grow. However, my view is more optimistic, insofar as we consider a revised view on habits, which would bring Aristotle closer to sociological thinkers, mainly Bourdieu. This opinion article critically analyses Bourdieu' s concept of habitus as unconscious action seen to be blocking human freedom and learning which reproduces social bonds rather than frees the person to learn and practice new habits responsibly based on their evolving biography and social responsibilities and phase of cognitive development. The main concern with Bourdieu's sociological origin of habitus brought forth in this short theory article published in a journal with a focus on inter disciplinary research advances in human neuroscience, is that despite its merits, it views human action mainly driven by an outside-in internationalisation of learnt habits unreflectively (despite our cognitive illusion that we act thoughtfully and reflectively). Perhaps this explains indeed why the entire social world has not been able to abandon the idea of war as a means of solving disagreements between human communities despite the traumatic experiences of humankind along centuries, especially the 20th one, so this perspective would force to take for granted that we cannot change much in the thoughtfulness and practical wisdom capacity, and overall moral and cognitive capability of agents who co-enact economic relations to act beyond a utilitarian way which legitimizes as " normal" a defensive, narrowly self-interested kind of agency. Even when Bourdieu argues his theory is not presuming action as purely reproductive of a certain given (current) status quo, it still considers that individual habitus is "an active residue of (one's) past" (Swartz, 2002: 63S). The problematic consequence is that it theoretically misses to account for the possibility for human freedom -which can be appreciated by reference to Aristotle, for example, although explaining Aristotle is outside the scope of this article. To help address this limitation in Bourdieu's understanding of habitus, this article tries to show here that, in the frame of a dialogical conception, and supported by psychological findings, habitus can be compatible with the social basis of human freedom and learning.

The Citadel receives County Council support for stadium project
The Citadel has received a commitment from the Charleston County Council to provide $3.5 million from the county accommodations tax revenue. Over 10 years the money will help retire a portion of The Citadel's debt on the $42 million Johnson Hagood Stadium renovation, a project that is anticipated to have a significant economic and tax benefit for the county.
"We greatly appreciate the Charleston County Council's support of our efforts to make Johnson Hagood Stadium a source of pride for The Citadel and the people of Charleston County," said Citadel President Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa.
Phase III of the stadium renovation project is expected to be completed in the fall and will feature a state-of-the-art press box, club seats and suites on the west (home) side in addition to the South Carolina National Guard Readiness Center. The Citadel and the National Guard will benefit by the shared use of classrooms and other joint areas. The Altman Athletic Center construction and West side stands replacement were completed in 2001 and 2006. Phase IV will include a complete renovation of the East side stands.
The stadium will house major sporting events, including Citadel home football games and a new football all-star game for college seniors and other attractions. The stadium is also vital to the county's emergency preparedness, as it serves as the South Carolina National Guard Readiness Center.
A study by the Charleston Metro Sports Council estimates Johnson Hagood Stadium will generate $1.5 million in accommodations tax revenue over the 10 years of the county's investment, and will continue to generate tax revenue over the 50-year projected life of the renovated stadium. Additionally, the newly refurbished stadium will have an estimated economic impact on the Charleston area of $366 million over the next 10 years.
"We are confident the county's investment will not only pay for itself but earn a return over the life of the stadium," Rosa said.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes features an open world setting, where full exploration of Gotham City is granted. The gameplay is similar to its predecessor, Lego Batman: The Videogame, but allows players to play as classic Batman characters and other various DC Comics superheroes, such as Robin, Batgirl, Green Lantern, Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman.[6] There are 75 playable characters.[7] New gadgets such as Robin's Hazard Cannon, Green Lantern's Power Ring, Superman's heat vision, and a Power Suit for Batman were introduced.[1][2] An optional 2-player cooperative play mode is also present.[8] However, a split screen is used, due to the game having an open-world environment.[8] The Wii U version allows the use of the gamepad's screen instead of a split screen, allowing both players to have independent screens.[9] Most of Gotham City can be broken into "bricks", as players can use the broken bricks to build new suits or construct objects that can help solve puzzles.[7]
In Gotham City, an award show is being held where Gotham's finest is attending. The "Man of the Year" award is being presented to Bruce Wayne, with Lex Luthor being runner-up. All is well until a group of Batman's villains (consisting of the Penguin, the Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two-Face and Joker) show up as Joker steals the award thinking that he is more deserving of the title. Bruce sneaks out, changes into the Batsuit and becomes Batman. Along with Robin, Batman confronts and defeats all of the villains, but Joker escapes on a rocket-powered motorboat.[1][7][10] After an extended chase to a nearby carnival, Batman captures Joker and he is thrown into Arkham Asylum while Superman arrives to greet the duo. Sometime later, Lex arrives at the asylum and breaks the Joker out using a weapon called "The Deconstructor" (which deconstructs unbreakable black objects, and is powered by Kryptonite). Joker then uses the weapon to release all of the inmates from Arkham Asylum; Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, Riddler, Catwoman, Bane, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow. Batman is called in to round up the villains. After fighting the villains in the asylum maze, he discovers pieces of bricks that have the energy signature from Luthor's weapon.
After learning of a break-in at Ace Chemicals, Batman and Robin search for clues as to what the Joker is up to. After a chemical reaction of explosions begin to destroy the factory, the Dynamic Duo are rescued by Superman, who helps them put out the fire. Batman then learns what the Joker was up to; the chemicals stolen from the plant, although not particularly dangerous alone, can be combined to form a synthetic Kryptonite. Punching the signature into the Batmobile's on-board computer, Batman and Robin catch up to Luthor's convoy and infiltrate it. After a brief skirmish, Batman is thrown out of the massive convoy and enters the Batmobile. Unfortunately, Joker uses the Deconstructor to blast apart the Batmobile. Back at the Batcave, Batman is trying to figure out Luthor's next move. He determines the new Kryptonite is harmless, but it proves to be a tracking device which leads Luthor and Joker to the cave. Batman has a Kryptonite vault, which he uses 'in case Superman turns evil', which the Joker knew about. Using the Deconstructor, the villains destroy the cave, escaping with a load of Kryptonite. Having no way out, Batman reluctantly allows Robin to call Superman for help and they escape the collapsing cave.
Batman and Superman team up and assault Luthor's massive airship. Batman is thrown off after confronting Lex and Superman saves him. They then attempt to infiltrate Luthor's LexCorp headquarters in Metropolis, but are caught by a robotic informant and forced to fight their way through the LexBots. After getting deep in the heart of the fortress-like building, Luthor reveals a giant Joker-esque robot and flees back to Gotham. After trying to sabotage the robot en route to Gotham, Superman and Batman are thrown off when the Kryptonite power source is exposed and Superman begins to lose power. A weakened Superman and Batman then realize Luthor's plan; using Joker's special gases, he can influence the minds of the public and win the Presidency campaign. Superman damages the robot's Kryptonite reserve, which provokes Joker to chase Batman and Robin (who has built a multi colored Batmobile to counter the effects of the Deconstructor and comes to save Batman from being deconstructed by the Joker robot, and brought his vehicle with him) through Gotham. Most of the Kryptonite from the robot is spilled onto the street out of the robot, making a giant Joker face in Gotham viewable from the Watchtower. In turn, the Justice League (consisting of Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern and the Flash) is called in by Martian Manhunter. Realizing he has been defeated, Luthor begins to lay siege to Wayne Tower. The Justice League arrive to help Batman, Robin, and Superman save the tower and successfully defeat the robot. With all of the Arkham inmates and Lex and Joker in jail, Batman says it is good for him to have friends he can call on in times of need. They all then decide to repair the Batcave as Green Lantern shoots a beacon from his Power Ring into space in victory.
In a hint of a future title, Brainiac is seen on his ship watching a screen, with the beacon revealing Earth's location, while uttering "I have located it."[11]
Development and marketingEdit
A promo for the game was leaked online by Lego fansite, Bricktuts.[12] On 15 March 2012, the game's first reveal trailer featuring gameplay for Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes was released to the public.[7][13] During the 2012 Game Developers Conference a 45-minute demo of the game was limited to eyes-on only.[8] A demo was later released on Xbox Live on 19 June, the day of the game's release, and PlayStation Network on 26 June 2012, while a Microsoft Windows demo was released on 20 June 2012.
Voice castEdit
Lego Batman 2 is the first game in TT Games' Lego series to feature full voice acting, as opposed to the mime acting and the grunts, mumbles and gibberish of the previous titles.[14] Cam Clarke was the voice director of the game. Clancy Brown reprises his role as Lex Luthor from the DC Animated Universe. Troy Baker (who voices Batman in the game) reprises his role as Two-Face from the game Batman: Arkham City. Steven Blum (who also voices The Penguin in the game) reprises his role as Captain Cold from Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
The game's background music consists of Danny Elfman's score from Batman, John Williams' score from Superman, and original music written by Rob Westwood. It has been described as "just right".[15]
Film adaptationEdit
Warner Premiere released Lego Batman: The Movie – DC Super Heroes Unite, a direct-to-video animated film adaptation of the video game produced by TT Animation. The film uses cutscenes from the game as well as new scenes to replace gameplay.[16] The film, produced and directed by Jon Burton, was released on 21 May 2013.[17]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (March 2020)
The game was well received, with critics praising its refined gameplay, story, and voice acting, although it was criticized for some minor and sporadic technical glitches.[18] Game Informer gave it an 8.25 out of 10.[10] The game holds an 80 on Metacritic for the Xbox 360 version,[19] and an 81 for the PlayStation 3 version.[20] Andrew Laughlin, of Digital Spy reported that Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes was the best Lego game yet, admiring the game's new features, and original story.[15]
On 27 May 2014, it was announced that the third installment in the Lego Batman series would be called Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. The game was released in November 2014. Also a spin off to the Lego Batman trilogy called Lego DC Super Villains was announced on May 30, 2018 and released on October 16, 2018
Downloadable ContentEdit
Exclusively on the console versions of the game were released 2 Add-on Packs: The Heroes pack and the Villains pack. The Heroes pack included 5 new characters: Nightwing, Katana, Shazam, Zatanna and Damian Wayne. The Villains Pack included as well 5 new characters: Bizarro, Captain Cold, Black Adam ,Black Manta and Gorilla Grodd.

Laura White lives in New Orleans with her tiny dog Ciel and medium-sized dog, Nash. She sometimes thinks it's funny to say she owns a dog and 1/2, but no one thinks it's quite as funny as she does in most circumstances. She's a wholehearted devotee to healthy living, eating, and cooking- and a passionate beauty junkie. Aside from working in branding and business development with an Atlanta-based startup, you can find her navigating her way through the beautiful city that she currently calls home in an attempt to find beautiful food, beautiful people and beautiful things that makes life so, well, beautiful. In her spare time she likes to recite she's trying to find wonderland in reality, which likely can be witnessed by her instagram account, solely. But hey, that's okay, because ya' love what ya' love. The Pure and Pink Elephant is about sharing her findings.
Q: Why the 'pure and pink elephant'?
A: The inspiration behind the blog's name is Ganesha, the Hindu Elephant Deity whom represents always being on the hunt for a greater truth, ridding a certain selfishness, vanity, and pride- while finding beauty in the most unlikely of places. The world is full of pink elephants, ya' just have to find them.
I think my initial spark of what 'wellness' meant was when I crashed into some readings on Ayurvedic medicine in college. From there I was on a mission to learn how to heal from the inside out with the simplicity of food and green beauty products.
Q: What was the biggest first step in truly 'getting healthy'?
A: Hands-down taking taking one f-ing moment to read and understand food labels. Said with a smile, of course. AKA: Slow down and make grocery shopping magical- because it can be. That's when changing my diet (which those first few years I decided veganism worked for me, but not anymore), learning how food as medicine, and my interests in good-for-us (and earth) skincare started to really take hold. Realizing that our bodies are basically big sponges really hit home. Anything we put on our skin can be absorbed through our bloodstream! When you realize that, things change quickly.
It was quite the overload at first, but seven eight years in, I've really began to realize this past year simplicity is always key; Dirt on our food. A short ingredients list. Supporting local farmers. The same mentality goes for seeking out all-natural products for our beauty routines: Always take time to check the ingredients vs. the claims. Know the company's mission. How and where they bottle their products. Everything kind of goes full-circle and I think that's a beautiful process in itself.
When I say 'I'm still on a journey' of finding wellness, I mean it. The world and standards are changing all around us. From certain food label laws to what constitutes as a 'natural' product. It's not all negative though, so many wonderful companies are creating amazing products for us as consumers to find. We just have to do our research and find them! Farmers markets are becoming more and more prominent. People are really beginning to care about these changes and it really makes my heart smile. You see, everything folds into each other at the end of the day, so where we invest our choices as consumers greatly matters! Again, it's truly a beautiful process and I hope you'll get just as excited about it as I am!
In my personal life & free-time I'm continuing to navigate and explore the things I love the most.
- Favorite green beauty products; Tata Harper's Rejuvenating Serum, The Beauty Chef's Glow Inner Beauty Powder, W3LL People Expressionist Mascara
- I try my very best to wake up and have warm lemon water, it really is a life-changing skin-loving routine.
- The city I love is all things New Orleans, which happened totally by-chance when I moved down for a short-term stint for work. *Making me remember all good things happen without plans*. So this girl traded the East Coast for bright, sunny days on the Gulf. (I'm originally from a tiny, teeny town about 40 minutes outside of Asheville, NC)
- I sometimes think I'm not that obsessed with makeup (even when I only wear natural, dewy, basics), but then I realize I own a chest of makeup.
- I've kept a journal since I was in the 4th grade, talk about looking back and cringing…
- The mountains will always be my happy place and my heart will always be in NC.
- I really, really, love grocery shopping and I've been know to spend an entire hour on one aisle in Whole Foods, more than once.
- Even when I gave up most gluten, I still drink beer and eat (*really good) sourdough bread. The end.
- If I had my 'dream job' it would be to open a beauty bar + boutique complete with a coffee & beer lounge. Sound like an interesting mix? Yep. That or a mix between the online and offline world; think Well + Good and Peppermint Magazine's love child.
- I've found my true love within branding and business development. I never underestimate the word 'local' and connecting with people- it's the only way to truly connect and grow whatever journey it is that you're own.
- I love photography, can you tell? I always have at least 50+ photos I take for my own enjoyment and never get around to actually sharing them. That said, does that mean my millennial-status is in question?
My journey in health and beauty is only the beginning and I'm happy to share, and exchange, knowledge with you! With, love, peace, and good vibes your way- thanks for stopping in!

Before You Call a Plumber
It's tempting to call your local plumber when the kitchen sink is stopped up with dirty dishwater, but before spending the money, you should know that it's almost always a rather easy fix. In most cases, it takes just a few minutes and requires tools you probably already have on hand.
Tools and Materials You Will Need
Continue to 2 of 8 below.
- Bucket
- Sponge
- Drain plunger
- Channel-type pliers
02 of 08
Try Plunging
First, try to clear the drain using a rubber cup-style plunger.
Continue to 3 of 8 below.
- Empty all but 1 to 2" of water in the sink.
- Place the cup of the plunger over the drain opening and pump up and down rapidly several times. Quickly pull the plunger off the drain opening. There is a good chance that this simple action may have dislodged whatever was clogging the drain. If it does, then run clear water for a couple of minutes to flush the debris down into the main drain. If the clog remains, then move to the next step.
- If the clog remains, you will now disassemble the drain trap under the sink. Begin by sponging out as much of the water in the sink as you can.
- Place a bucket or other container under the trap to catch water. Examine the parts of the drain. The large knurled nuts around the drainpipes are what you'll be loosening to detach the drain trap parts.
03 of 08
Loosen the Drain Trap
The drain trap is the J-shaped piece of pipe the connect the tailpiece of the sink drain. Because of the sharp bend in the trap, it is by far the most commonplace for drain clogs to occur.
You may be able to loosen the slip nuts holding the trap to the tailpiece and trap arm by hand. If the slip nuts can be moved by hand, then unscrew them completely. If the nuts can't be moved by hand, use channel-type pliers to loosen the slip nuts.Continue to 4 of 8 below.
04 of 08
Remove the Trap
Pull the trap straight down and drain the contents into your container. If you have emptied the sink completely, there should not be much water or mess falling when you remove the trap.Continue to 5 of 8 below.
05 of 08
Clear the Trap
The trap is the most likely location of the clog so examine it carefully for debris. You can use a toothbrush or other small utility brush to clean it, or you can flush it with water at another sink. If there was a noticeable clog here, you will need to go no further and can reassemble the drain trap now. If there is no sign of a clog in the trap, you will need to pursue your investigation further into the next pieces of the drain assembly.Continue to 6 of 8 below.
06 of 08
Remove the Trap Arm
The trap arm is the horizontal pipe with the curved end that runs into the branch drain in the wall. This is another possible location for a clog, so now you need to loosen the slip nut that secures the arm into the branch drain. Extract the trap arm to examine it for clogs and remove any debris you find. If a noticeable clog was found here, you don't need to look further.Continue to 7 of 8 below.
07 of 08
Remove the Two-Part Waste
The two-part waste pipe is the horizontal pipe that connects two sink basins or the garbage disposal to the drain trap. Two slip nuts are holding it in place; unscrew them and remove the pipe. Examine it for clogs and remove any debris you find.
If none of these locations has produced the clog, your clog may lie in the branch drain behind the wall. This is a little more serious problem, though you may be able to fix this yourself, too, by using a drain snake.Continue to 8 of 8 below.
08 of 08
Reassemble the Trap Back
After you've checked all parts and removed any clogs, you can put the kitchen sink drain back together in reverse order.
- All the slip nuts should be hand-tightened first.
- Then, use channel-type pliers to give them a tighter seal (about 1/8 of a turn). Do not overtighten.
- Turn on the water to verify that the drain is clear and draining. Flush plenty of water through the drain.
- Check for leaks. If the drain parts leak at all, slightly tighten the joints again with pliers another 1/8 turn. Drain pipes are not under pressure, so it should not be necessary to tighten the slip nuts too far.
- Place the stopper in the sink and fill it with water. Release the stopper and watch beneath the sink to verify that the drain joints are not leaking.
If you clog remains after your work on the drain trap, then your clog is deeper in the drain system and you'll need to use a drain snake or call a plumber. But 9 times out of 10, you will have cleared the drain clog yourself.

Emil Silberman, nationally recognized artist from New York, is able to evoke an emotional response from each sculpture he creates. A sculptor since the age of 3, today Emil's techniques have evolved to include forms in such mediums as plaster and mixed-media, and have included installations and site-specific work.
Whether his art reflects tragedy, flaw, rebellion, struggle, social inequality, or just the comedies of life, he expresses it all through the eyes of a physician. "By a strange turn of fate, I became a physician in the Emergency Room of an inter-city hospital in Queens, NY. To my surprise my work as a physician has greatly influenced my sculptures, from the prevalence of raw emotions to the daily images of distorted anatomy."
As a sculptor and Assistant Director of the Emergency room for Jamaica hospital in Queens, his exquisite pieces are a channel through which he can express his emotions and ultimately heal himself from the stresses of his medical career. Having traveled throughout the world, Emil is able to incorporate his travels and his profession to utilize his rare gift and master his distinctive art forms. These emotion-driven works by Emil Silberman often depict a sense of humor, resulting in pieces which are meant as a parody or social commentary.
"My work, to the viewer, has continued to evoke an emotional response and true sense of appreciation for what each work represents," Silberman said.
Born in Riga, Latvia (former USSR) in 1960, Emil has lived in Israel and the Dominican Republic, but now resides in New York. His work is in private collections nationwide and has been collected by many.

Mark Simmons of Mixed Digital wants us all to understand that we had better configure our websites for mobile phones and tablets or else. In 2013 it is well-understood that more than half of all searches online will be on mobile devices, so we really have to make sure those searches can find us. Is your info product website mobile optimized?
Simmons says, "Mobile search offers the unique opportunity to connect with consumers at the moment of interest, at different times and in a geographically relevant fashion. This is an incredible opportunity that companies are just not taking advantage of… Mobile search can be used to target users by device, location and, of course, ad and keyword. Furthermore, if the phone is important to your business, click-to-call can truly drive customers directly to you."
Searching the web is definitely NOT the same for users on their smart phones compared to their laptops. Simmons warns, "Take into consideration that the experience is very different on an iPhone versus an iPad." Great. Could it get even more complex, even faster? Probably better not hold your breath on that question just yet. Also, your topic of expertise and the particular info products you offer may not be suited to mobile search as well as regular search.
Local businesses are going to benefit immediately because mobile searches for restaurants and hotels are time-critical. A prospective plastic surgery patient, however, will most likely wait until she gets home to the privacy of her desktop or laptop so that she can read an e-book titled, Understand Your Blepharoplasty Surgery, complete with before and after photos and audio links to customer testimonials.

Gaithersburg Boat Accidents
Trial Attorneys for Boating Accident Victims near Gaithersburg, Rockville & Surrounding Areas
Many individuals who are otherwise perfectly safe, law-abiding drivers on our nation's streets and highways climb behind the wheel of a boat and mistake that sense of freedom they feel at being on the water for the freedom to drive that boat any way they want. Tragic results often follow.
If you were injured in a Maryland boating accident — take time out to talk with an experienced lawyer about your rights and about your legal options for recovery. Call the law offices of Sussman & Simcox at 301.840.0404 or contact us online to arrange a free consultation.
Boating Accident Claims: Does Maritime Law or Negligence Law Apply?
The simple answer to this question is that either might apply. Deciding which one will be better, given the unique facts and circumstances of your case, is where having the knowledge and skill of an experienced trial lawyer really pays off.
As the result of more than 20 years of experience each in the state and federal courts of Maryland,attorneys Karen Sussman and Howard Simcox have developed a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of both Maryland negligence law AND maritime law. Boating accident victims also benefit from the fact that having defended insurance companies for years, we can offer keen insights into the way insurers evaluate and defend these claims.

Message from the Director
September 2017
The Policy Alternatives Research Institute (PARI) is a think tank at the University of Tokyo. This may sound like a contradiction: why do we need a think tank at a university? I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and reaffirm what PARI stands for.
The first role of a university is research. I think it is clear that universities thrive on outstanding findings that challenge previous theories or paradigms. Also obvious is that the primary audience for such new research is researchers themselves, for they can appreciate the contributions made by their peers.
This also means that researchers may not be as interested in the social impact of their studies. Academics eager to advance scientific knowledge are not necessarily eager to think of the use of such knowledge, unless such use leads to material benefits. If we leave academic research only in the hands of academics, the results may end up consumed within the ivory tower, with no impact on society.
Another role of universities is education, which is the primary route through which academic achievements are channeled to a new generation, who are expected to carry the torch and generate new findings. Of course, education is not only about educating researchers, because it has an important nexus that unites university research and broader society.
However, education need not and should not be the only nexus between a university and society. Scientific information becomes less relevant over time, and after several decades, college graduates can no longer rely on what they learned in class. Here, we must open a path that integrates university research and social needs in a different way than education in the narrow sense.
In other words, universities should no longer remain institutions for research and education, but deliver academic findings in a way that best suits the community's needs and demands. This is what we do. PARI attempts to find and provide an alternate path between academic research and the society in which research is conducted, most often in the form of policy proposals that should be implemented for the public need. PARI is similar to a think tank; however, the proposals that emanate from this think tank are based on advanced research that previously may have been left in the confines of the ivory tower. By providing a path between research and a concrete call for action, PARI transforms advanced research into a property that can be shared by a wider public.
Research must accompany relevance. Traditional academic research could maintain that new findings are relevant by themselves, even if the research has little impact on improving lives. This will not do, for a mere show of research findings does not assure its relevance. What questions need to be addressed? What answers are most in demand? Relevant research becomes so only through constant interactions between the provider of knowledge and its consumer. We believe that the relevance of research stems from showing a new choice, an alternative unknown before. As an institute for policy alternatives, our duty is to show previously unknown views and choices.

Trump hit a homer with illigal immigration issues. He is stirring the pot.
Trump is brassy and uncouth but, it is Obama the Americans should feel ashamed of.
Darn it, leftist Greek PM Alexis Tsipras! You had one job, which was to inspire left-wing parties around the world to tell the banks to shove their fancy-shmancy "debts" and "deficits" and throw all spending restraint to the wind.
But you couldn't even get that right. You thought rejecting the first German plan was enough, and you decided to call it a day and accept another austerity plan which is in some ways harsher than Merkel's.
It's so disappointing when these left-wingers lose their nerve. Not just because I got myself all psyched up for the apocalypse only to be let down, but because in the coming few days we're going to hear all about how global capitalism struck again, turning Tsipras into just another lackey of the banks and how the fight against restraint must continue until we finally get true people's power.
For his part, Tsipras fell back on the "creating a conversation" argument, which not so coincidentally was the same excuse the left used after the failure of the Occupy Movement. Yes, we embarrassed ourselves and failed horribly, but at least we trended on Twitter!
I suppose that's all you can really ask these days: a trend up, a trend down. Tsipras nudges the global economy towards the edge, the EU politicians nudge it back. A credit downgrade here, a bit of tax relief there. Do nothing by halves that can be done by quarters.
Meanwhile, just below the surface, the anger and frustration continue to bubble. The OXI-morons craved the destruction of the world markets and freedom to do as they pleased without consequence. They will not be dissuaded from that goal no matter how many times Merkel, Hollande and the rest manage to contain them. If they lose patience with Tsipras and Syriza's game of inches, they will find someone even crazier and put them on the throne, and then repeat until they reach the desired consistency.
But I am no good at deluding myself, so I must acknowledge that it's not just the left who plays the game. Just look at the Republican primaries, where oceans of ink are being spilled talking about the positives and negatives of the various logos, and why the 15th person to enter the race is someone you should take seriously.
All of this onanistic analysis - which likely won't mean diddly squat by the time the election rolls around - is tremendously boring and nearly impossible to follow, which is why Donald Trump is sucks the oxygen out of the room every time he tops himself with another wackadoodle statement.
Some think Trump is insane, others think he's crazy like a fox. It doesn't matter, because Trump has had the carpet yanked out from under him by Obama and the Democrats before, and when it happens again he will sit there with that stupid little scowl on his face and say nothing. Because he can be shamed into silence, Trump, like Michelle Bachman, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry last time around, is a pretender to the throne.
The growing number of pissed off people worldwide don't want someone who will blush or stumble. Only King Arthur could draw Excalibur from the rock, and when it comes to achieving Peak Crazy, many are called but few are chosen.
Now, I can certainly appreciate that the sensible minded among us will do everything they can to hold things together and will recoil at any suggestion that we just let the fire burn itself out, but let's be honest: We all know Armaggedon is coming, so might as well get it over with.

Dr. Adam receives 7th degree black belt
|Posted by Dan Hausel, Soke on May 29, 2016 at 12:50 AM
On Thursday, May 26th, 2016, Dr. Neal Adam was promoted to one of the highest ranking members of Seiyo No Shorin-Ryu Karate Kobudo Kai after demonstrating empty hand (karate) and kobudo kata along with developing some new kata bunkai (pragmatic applications). Soke Hausel promoted Dr. Adam to the rank of shichidan (nanadan) (七段) which translates as 7th dan (7th degree black belt), and providing him with the title of Kyoshi.
It is extremely rare for anyone to achieve such a high rank in a traditional martial art. It is estimated less than 1% of martial artists ever reach this level. In our organization, it is even more difficult as we have had less than 0.1% receive this rank. It is also significant, that only two members - Andy Finley and Neal Adam are in the running for certification for Menkyo Kaiden - a license of total understanding of our martial art.
There are few people as ethical as Dr. Adam. His integrity exudes in martial arts, his daily life, his Christian beliefs and in his profession at Grand Canyon University. As his Soke (grandmaster), I feel lucky to have him as a long time student. He first jointed my organization at the University of Wyoming more than 25 years ago while working on a post doc in the UW Agricultural Department.

Pre-nup is short for Prenuptial Agreement. A Prenuptial Agreement is "an agreement made by a couple before they marry concerning the ownership of their respective assets should the marriage fail." Those last three words, "should the marriage fail," are what gives a pre-nup such a negative connotation. Some would even go as far as saying a pre-nup assumes your marriage is going to fail. It's negative energy, it's a bad vibe, not romantic, it's for people in Hollywood, doom and gloom….yada, yada, yada. Maybe some of those concerns are valid, but the numbers don't lie. The current divorce rate is hovering around 50%.
I get it. No one wants to think about the END before they even BEGIN. It's like discussing your Will—and deciding how you want to divide your assets after you pass away. It may even feel like you are going against your religious beliefs–I get that too. Trust me, sometimes it's necessary. Read the whole definition again. It's the first part of the definition that should't be glossed over. The part about "ownership of their respective assets"—that's what I, as a Financial Planner focus on. It's about PROTECTION of assets that you have worked hard for or in some cases, assets you inherited. Prenuptial Agreements are especially beneficial for couples who are older, previously married or already have children.
Some of the benefits may include:
- Protection of your property like retirement and investment funds
- Protection of your business
- Settlement of debts after the marriage ends
- Settlement of assets with sentimental value like pets and inherited property
- Agreements concerning affairs or other activity outside the marriage
Prenuptial Agreements can be as basic or as advanced as a couple desires. Although, I only mentioned the pros of having a pre-nup, there are some cons. Based on my experience, it's a case by case scenario. Every couple should consider whether it's necessary for their union.
I'm here if you need me 🙂

The geography and history of Lake George is what makes it a special place.
The arrival of Europeans in the 17th century turning the Lake George region into a dangerous place. French explorers and missionaries, Dutch traders as well as soldiers and settlers disturbed the balance of life among the Indians, who had shared the valley as a pathway for travel and a seasonal hunting ground. France and Britain both wanted to own the country and they were prepared to fight each other for it. After the armies dispersed, settlers who expected to make their living at farming found their livelihood at risk.

Although known by locals as Lucky Seven Ranch Hot Springs, it is referred to as Easterday Hot Springs in some guide books. It is a nice diversion at short distance off US 95 in SE Oregon. The water temp is 100+ or -. There is a stream and many seeps you can put a hose into to fill up a tub. There are great views of the mountains from the springs. It is located within a wide area of HS activity. The road in is somewhat rutty and can get pretty muddy in the spring. I'm sure the ranchers would appreciate you not leaving deep ruts in the road. There are quite a few alternate routes available that are a little higher on the ridge. Water clarity is OK. It is a little murky if you stir it up.
You can gamble, eat, or buy supplies just across the border in McDermitt, NV.

Here (upstate), the norm is that homework or classwork is checked by the teacher, but if it shows lack of concept/mastery understanding, there is no reteach unless student qualifies for specialist help. If the parent doesn't and the child is unclassified, the child will be dropped in to a lower section at the end of the unit (gr. 4-5) or the year (K-3). When he falls behind far enough he'll qualify for specialist help via RtI. The in-the-know parents just hire the tutor or do it themselves rather than let the student fall that far behind.
Also, is Scarsdale teaching for excellence or 'for the pass'? I notice here that the info needed in math to perform at the '4' level on the grade level state exams is not taught in class. One has to afterschool with a quality curriculum.
Here, 3rd graders do write a 'research paper' in class. The topic is 3rd grade friendly and most can do it. It reminds me more of a five paragraph essay than a paper.
I would like schools to teach kids how to write book reports.
Then I'd like schools to assign book reports.
Thank you very much.

Quick Look: The Epix channel will likely be of interest only to those who already subscribe to Epix through their cable or satellite television provider. Currently (July 2011), Epix is available from Charter, Cox Communications, DISH Network, Mediacom, Verizon FiOS, and several Insight and NCTC subscribers. Check for updates to this list on the Epix FAQ page. Pricing varies by provider.
If you're an Epix subscriber through your television provider, you can watch movies on the Roku channel at no additional charge. So why would you want to watch on the Roku if you already get the channel by satellite or cable? Well, Epix on Roku allows you to watch the movies where you don't have a cable or satellite box. You can take your Roku with you when you travel. As long as you're able to connect your Roku via WiFi (or Ethernet if you have a Roku with an Ethernet port), you can watch movies from the Epix channel. (Note that connecting via hotel Internet can be troublesome, as the Roku does not support entering a username and password via Web browser, which is required by many hotels.) I've read in a number of posts that Epix offers very little that is not already available on Netflix. That may be true, but those who already have Epix as part of their cable or satellite bundle may not subscribe to Netflix on top of that.
Epix offers a free 14-day trial. No credit card is required, and you won't be billed by your cable or satellite provider at the end of the trial. If Epix is available through your TV provider, this will allow you to see what movies are available. If Epix is not available through your TV provider, then the only reason to add this channel is to get a couple of free weeks of movie viewing. However, if you're already a Netflix or Amazon Prime subscriber, you already have access to most of the Epix content.
NOTE: To subscribe, select a movie on the Roku channel and press the play button on your remote. A code will be displayed that you then enter at www.epixhd.com/roku. Before entering the code, you must create an account and be signed into that account. After creating your account, you must return to www.epixhd.com/roku to enter the code.
--RokuGuide Reviewed on July 30, 2011
Developer's Channel Description: Watch thousands of movies instantly at no additional cost with your EPIX subscription. Don't have EPIX? You can still try it out with a 14 Day Free Trial.
CHANNEL STORE CATEGORY: Movies & TV
FEES: Subscription available only through your cable or satellite provider, if offered. Price varies by provider. 14-day free trial.

Autonomous Robots Invade Retail Warehouses
Next time you order a new pair of skinny jeans from Gap.com, you should know that you are helping welcome in the hive-mind robot overlords of retail.Pretty cool. Check out this video as well:
Warehouses run by Gap, as well as Zappos and Staples now use autonomous robots to pluck products from their shelves and send them to you.
All the robots are told is where products are located and where they need to go. From there, the robots, which look like massive orange Roombas, figure out the rest. They locate the stack of shelves with the needed product on it, slide beneath the stack to pick it up and then find their own routes from the stacks of stuff to human operators. And they manage to find just the right time to get themselves recharged for five minutes out of every hour.
"It's a major game-changer. There's no question about that. You can increase productivity immensely," said Michael Levans, editorial director for a group of supply-chain trade magazines like Logistics Management. "The Zappos guys claim that from the moment you put your order in and it is submitted to the time the box is on the dock and ready to be put on a truck is 12 minutes."
The robots, which in the largest distribution center currently number over 500, are built by a small company called Kiva Systems (no relation to the microfinance outfit). In total, they've installed more than 1,000 bots at a dozen warehouses and are growing quickly. By the end of this year, they expect single locations to have systems with 1,000 of the machines.
They don't use sophisticated visual sensors to navigate; instead, they know where they are by using a simple and cheap grid system that's stuck onto the floor of the warehouse.
That allows warehouse operators to switch off the lights and climate controls in the large areas of the warehouse that are patrolled solely by robots, cutting energy costs by as much as 50 percent over a standard warehouse.

Fire Crews Respond to the Diaz Fire
Thursday, June 22, 2017
Inyo National Forest fire crews are responding to the Diaz Fire, located along the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada southwest of Lone Pine, at approximately 9,000 feet in elevation.
The fire was estimated to be five acres yesterday and is actively burning in steep, rugged terrain.
It is burning in mixed conifer and mountain mahogany. There are currently no threats to life or property. However, it is highly visible from the Highway 395 near Lone Pine.
Three engines, one crew and various other overhead resources are responding.
