The competition in Santander has been ferocious with Olympic medallists, World Champions and many of the world's leading sailors aiming to reach Saturday's live Medal Races and to be in with a chance at claiming a medal.
Thursday's racing saw exceptional sailing conditions across all the racing areas. An 11-16 knot breeze, gusting 25 knots, tested the sailors.
An interesting fight is developing at the front of the Women's One Person Dinghy fleet between Belgium's Evi van Acker and Denmark's Anne-Marie Rindom.
The pair, both Olympic medallists, are fighting tooth and nail with minimal separation.
Three points split the pair and they're enjoying the battle, "It's always exciting to compete with Evi because she is really good, she fights a lot and wants to win," commented Rindom. "I think it's great fun to compete against her and I am looking forward to the next couple of days.
Van Acker echoed her rival, "She is a good sailor and always has been. It is really cool to have good rivalry with Anne-Marie."
The rivalry seems to bring out the best in the pair. Van Acker snapped up a fourth and a first and is on nine points and Rindom is on 12 points after a third and second. They have opened up a good advantage over Vasileia Karachaliou, winner of the American World Cup who has plenty of sailors chasing her down.
Jean Baptiste Bernaz (FRA) held on to his lead in the Men's One Person Dinghy, Laser, after a 12th, which he discards and a sixth. Charlie Buckinham (USA), Philipp Buhl (GER) and Pavlos Kontides (CYP) remain in the hunt.
Brazilian Women's RS:X Windsurfer Patricia Freitas continued her form from the previous day's racing with a 2-3-6 scorecard. Freitas was relaxed ashore after racing and commented, "It was good, I maintained my first position and extended my lead by two points.
"It was a tricky day with lot of gusts and shifty conditions but we were lucky that the wind kept picking up. The weather was beautiful but it got chilly towards the end."
Although she felt the cold, Freitas seems to be warming up and has a six point advantage over American World Cup winner Yunxiu Lu (CHN).
Kiran Badloe (NED), Louis Giard (FRA), Shahar Zubari (ISR) and Piotr Myzska (POL) are embroiled in a compelling battle in the Men's Windsurfer. The quartet are sharing the leading positions in the Men's RS:X fleet races and just nine points split them with three fleet races remaining.
French World Cup winner Nico Parlier (FRA) is untouchable in the Foiling Formula Kiteboarding, sailing the perfect day.
The young Frenchman won six consecutive races and now holds a huge 20-point lead over Riccardo Leccese (ITA). Defending World Cup Final Champion Oliver Bridge (GBR) is tied for second with Leccese.
Stu McNay and Dave Hughes (USA) pulled themselves firmly into contention in the Men's Two Person Dinghy, 470, after a day that featured two race wins. The victories put them within sight of leaders Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis (GRE) and two points off David Bargehr and Lukas Mahr (AUT).
In the Women's 470 fleet, Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre (GBR) snapped up their third race win of a week and followed with a second. They lead on seven points, five clear of Afrodite Zegers and Anneloes van Veen (NED) who won the day's other race.
James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (GBR) sailed consistently in the Men's Skiff, 49er, and move to first overall. A 2-3-2 scoreline gives them an advantage over Dylan Fletcher-Scott and Stu Bithell (GBR). Overnight leaders Lukasz Przybytek and Pawel Kolodzinski (POL) drop to third.
Dominik Buksak and Szymon Wierzbicki (POL) sailed a great day, recording a 5-2-1 to move into the top ten for the first time this week.
In the 49erFX, the Women's Skiff, Rio 2016 Olympic gold medallists Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (BRA) advanced after a three second places and now lead. Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey (GBR) beat the Brazilians in the opening two races of the day and had held the lead going into the final race. Lili Sebesi and Albane Dubois snapped up the final race win and the Brazilians maintained consistency, coming through in second.
The British racers finished sixth and now trail the Brazilians by a single point.
Ed Wright (GBR) had a mixed day in the Men's Heavyweight Dinghy, Finn, after a third and a discarded 15th. He still holds the lead but Ben Cornish (GBR) and Deniss Karpak (EST) posted a first and a fourth each and remain close to Wright.
Spain's Fernando Echavarri and Tara Pacheco maintained their exceptional run of results in the Mixed Multihull, Nacra 17, to extend their lead. Tom Phipps and Nicola Boniface (GBR), John Gimson and Anna Burnet (GBR) and Ruggero Tita and Caterina Marianna Banti (ITA) are battling it out for two podium places with three points splitting the trio.
Racing resumes at 12:00 local time on Thursday 8 June. The week of racing will culminate in the Live Medal Races on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 June.

This card is one of the best hitters in the whole game, especially vs right handed pitching. With 94 contact and 99 power his card eats right handers up. That is if you can handle his 34 vision. He is prone to strikeouts, more than others. He handles lefties alright, but with his PCI being so small against lefties, it can get difficult to handle good left handers.
If you play with him online, be prepared for players to work around him, throwing lots of balls in the dirt and plenty of inside (way inside) pitches.
In overall, this is a very solid card, powered by his hitting stats. As you expect for a slugger, his defense is below average as well as his speed, but that is the price you pay for his power. His card has the ability to change the game with one swing of the bat with his power.
Advice: if you have enough stubs, he could be a good investment as you would also be getting 94 Kris Bryant and potentially 99 Fergie Jenkins, who is one of the best pitchers in the game.

My military heroes, my friends
My heart is still beating with joy from speaking to the Schofield Barracks Army Post military wives at their PWOC Conference in Hawaii. We even had some women there who came from Hickam Air Force Base. The icing on the cake was meeting with the women who attend the Moving On group at the chapel.
After spending time with these incredible women, I had the privilege of seeing God's word bring hope, comfort, and encouragement to so many lives that have been uprooted by moving. We laughed and cried as we shared our joy and our pain together. We prayed for one another and joined hands in worship. We walked away feeling refreshed and renewed in our spirits as we focused on Christ and not our circumstances.
These precious women are in the trenches of military life, many of whom are holding their families together in the absence of their husbands who are deployed. They face the unknown with brave hearts and a strong faith. Many have just moved and are experiencing the adjustment and transition of being in unfamiliar surroundings and starting all over again. Then there are those who are facing the challenges of yet another move that has become an expected part of military life. They, too, face the unknown with a persevering heart and a strong faith.
My life is never the same after I am in the presence of military women. They touch my heart, strengthen my faith, and keep me humble. They are ordinary women who are called to do extraordinary things as wives and moms. When you stop and pray for the men and women who are serving our country in the Armed Forces, remember to pray for the spouses and families left behind. They, too, are my heroes!
Here are eight ways you can join our Just Moved Ministry Team in praying for our military:
- Safety and protection for deployed spouses
- Strong marriages during stressful circumstances
- Healing of broken relationships
- Provision for uprooted families
- Encouragement for uprooted moms
- Smooth transitions and adjustments for uprooted children
- Comfort in the midst of the physical and emotional effects of a PCS (transfer)
- Military families to put their trust and hope in Jesus Christ.
My presence will go with you…. Exodus 33:14

Supporters of the Bulgarian far right Ataka (Attack) party started a brawl in downtown Sofia, assaulting Muslims during their Friday prayer.Three people were charged for the attacks.
The nationalists staged a rally in front of the Sofia's Banya Bashi mosque, protesting the fact it has loudspeakers that sound Muslim prayers in the entire area around it.
As one of the protesters tried to remove a prayer rug from the space in front of the mosque, tension escalated and a fight started between the two groups, the BGNES news agency says. At least one of the Muslims has been injured.
Ataka supporters were reported shouting "Bulgaria" and "Turks, get out", as well as throwing eggs at the praying.
Ahmed Dogan, leader of the ethnic Turkish party DPS called for a law against provoking ethnic hatred. Bulgaria's rightist opposition Blue Coalition will initiate legislative changes banning demonstrations near religious temples. Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov said must declare itself against any violence, and sought to shift the focus from any interpretations that the incident were the result of a conspiracy.
A number of Bulgarian citizens came to the mosque to lay flowers as a gesture of apology.

Introduction: Hi Protein Pancake Recipes - 2 Best Healthy Recipes for Pancakes
DIY healthy pancake recipe - high protein - which can be a healthy breakfast as well as also something you can make any time of the day.
This is a healthy breakfast recipe can help you to lose weight since they have a lot of fiber. It's made with all healthy ingredients and taste better than any other pancakes and doesn't make you tired from a food coma or difficult digestion.
Typical pancakes are full of unhealthy, fattening, empty carb heavy processed and gmo ingredients and people usually Top that off with cheap maple syrup substitutes that are really just flavored sugar and other toxins.
(first one)
2 Eggs
¾ Cup Milk
½ Cup Coconut Flour
¼ Cup whey
¼ Cup Almond Flour
Pinch of Salt & Ceylon Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Cacao Powder
2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
(second one)
1 medium banana mashed
3 tablespoons or milk of your choice
2 scoops whey protein or half cup or rolled oats
1 egg
1 tablespoon peanut butter
If you're working out, you can put more of this in with an extra egg and use this pre or post workout.
You can replace the coconut flour with buckwheat if you like, which is also gluten free and you can also choose to leave out the almond flour and whey.
You can also add chia seeds, maca root, peanut butter, flax seeds.
This will make about 8 small to medium size pancakes
I cook mine in a combination of Pastured organic butter, coconut oil and ghee and put those on top as well.
f you don't know, all non-stick coated cookware is terrible for you, the environment and your pets. Avoid those and others that leach heavy metals and more. I use 100% ceramic cookware as you see in the video. They perform great, you can still grab the pans when they are cooking, they cook evenly, and I love using them.
After cooking: Maple syrup is okay, since there are health benefits such as minerals and antioxidants, as long as you're getting grade B.
I also add coconut oil and butter to them since these healthy fats delay the insulin response slowing down the sugar intake.
You can test this by testing your pulse after eating any sweetener and if it increases after eating it, then you're having a reaction to the high sugar and should be avoided. I also like to put about a teaspoon black strap molasses as well. If you don't know about this, it's super high in minerals and has a sweet taste and you need very little.

I'm delighted to introduce you to the updated Mothering Spirit website! (Created in the midst of chaos, as you can see.)
Check out these brand-new features:
My Books: In addition to Everyday Sacrament: The Messy Grace of Parenting, you can now access the free resources I've written on vocation and calling for the Collegeville Institute Seminars, as well as a new book on discipleship that's coming out from our project this November!
New Here? I created this page to let readers know more about the vision of Mothering Spirit and my hopes for deepening a spirituality of parenting.
Prayers for Pregnancy: In response to readers' requests, I've added prayers for Trying to Conceive, Infertility, and Miscarriage. (The new look of the Prayers for Pregnancy page is one of my favorites, too.)
Favorite Topics: Posts are now organized into five new categories: Sacraments, Scripture, Seasons of Church & Home, Spiritual Practices, and Spirituality in Daily Life. (Turns out that all my favorite things to write about start with S? Serendipitous.)
Resources for Parents: I'll be adding to this new section in the coming months with resources for celebrating sacraments with kids. For now, check out the reflections on living the liturgical year at home.
I hope you'll enjoy the new look and offerings. If you're an email subscriber, your subscription should transfer automatically. But please double-check so that you don't miss out on new posts!
Thanks in advance for your patience as we smooth out any bumps in the switch to the new site. More good things coming soon…

trending topics
Raja Bhaiya has submitted his resignation and booked for the murder of the deputy superintendent of police Zia ul Haq, adding another chapter to his chequered political career. He had 48 cases registered against him when he was assigned the food and civil supplies portfolio of the UP government last year. His meteoric rise and the fear he inspires in the Pratapgarh region of UP is the stuff of a Bollywood potboiler.
But who is this man whose political career runs parallel to tales of sordid crimes he is accused of? How has a man who seems to have a brazen disregard for the law and its enforcers - another DSP who was investigating the POTA charges against Raja Bhaiya mysteriously died in a road accident in 2007 a day before he was to appear before the Allahabad High Court - managed to be part of various governments? The answer may lie in the deep Thakur-Dalit divide that is the cornerstone of UP politics.
Raja Bhaiya, or Raghuraj Pratap Singh, has been a dominant force in the politics of Uttar Pradesh's Kunda and has been winning the assembly seat from the constituency since 1993. He belongs to the royal family of Bhadri of Oudh. He is the grandson of Raja Bajrang Bahadur Singh who was the founder vice chancellor of Pant Nagar Agriculture University and also served as the second lieutenant governor of Himachal Pradesh.
Raja Bhaiya is the first in his family to enter politics, while his father - Uday Pratap Singh, the current titular head of the royal family - is rumoured to be more of a recluse. Uday is the adopted son of Raja Bajrang Bahadur Singh.
Raja Bhaiya received his schooling in Allahabad. He went on to graduate in law from Lucknow University in 1987 and entered politics. He went on to win the Kunda assembly seat for the first time in 1993 as an independent candidate.
His birth date is a matter of controversy. Though he stated his age as 26 in 1993, in his mandatory nomination affidavit filed in January 2012, he said he is 38 years old. This would mean he was about 20 years old when he contested elections for the first time (with the minimum age being 25).
Raja Bhaiya not only maintains a stranglehold over Kunda but is reportedly very influential in five other constituencies in the Pratapgarh region, where the rule of law is second to the mafia. Such is his grip over the region that he has reportedly fielded candidates whose names are often not even mentioned in the speeches he makes while campaigning in those constituencies. They are just shadows and no one is in any doubt about who the real contestant is.
In the 1999 general elections, this became amply clear when he fielded his cousin Akshay Pratap Singh against incumbent Ratna Singh, a Congress candidate. Widespread strong-arm tactics are alleged to have been used to ensure Akshay's victory.
Raja Bhaiya's criminal intimidation tactics were reportedly well-known even before an FIR was filed in 2002 against him by BJP MLA Puran Singh Bundela, accusing him of kidnapping.
The Mayawati government was in power. The FIR resulted in his arrest on November 2, 2002. The case became murkier when he was declared a terrorist and sent to jail along with his father and cousin Akshay Pratap under Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). Although Akshay managed to get bail, Raja Bhaiya's bail pleas were rejected many times.
When Samajwadi Party came back to power in 2003 it dropped all POTA charges against him. However, the Supreme Court halted his release. Raids at his residence in 2003 allegedly revealed a large cache of weapons and explosives. A year later, POTA was itself repealed but the courts again refused to release Raja Bhaiya. By and by though, the legal stranglehold was reportedly loosened by the Mulayam Singh Yadav-government and by 2005, Raja Bhaiya was sworn in as the food and civil supplies minister. He was given Z-class security, the highest level of protection in the country, even though the threat to his life was unspecified.
It was during this time (2003-2007) that large-scale embezzlement was allegedly carried out in the public distribution system (PDS) with records of siphoned-off food grains and kerosene being reportedly countersigned by Raja Bhaiya's wife. This came to the fore in 2011 when a copy of the diary of records was revealed to the CBI by Raja Bhaiya's aide Rajiv Yadav.
The stories surrounding Raja Bhaiya that inspire fear include bizarre tales of a pond where he keeps crocodiles. Anyone who questions his feudal regime becomes food for the beasts. The stories may have some grounding - in the 2003 raid at his residence, a human skeleton was allegedly recovered from a pond.
The story is far from over and the man is sure to rise again - soon after the memory of his current exploit fades from collective memory.

Using dynamic brain imaging techniques, Neurologists can now map thoughts and many of the functions of the brain.
Though many of the functions of brain structures are already well known from the works of Sapolsky, Ramachandran and others on those who have had lesions, injuries and deformities of the brain, which leads to clues of brain function.
Probable Neurological Cause of Sense of Having a Relationship With God:It is well known that the most important formation for humans is relationships, from birth we start forming relationships with our mother and others. We subconsciously build maps of our relationships with others and also map the perceived consciousness of those we associate with as well as maps of our own consciousness.
Though firstly we start building maps of the most important people in our lives like our Mother.
We build what some refer to as a You-Map, of our mother from birth, which contains her facial expressions and links to the meanings we perceive of each one, what actions bring her attention to us, what actions make her unhappy. Yes, we construct a basic survival map of our mother and parents subconsciously in our infant brain. And rely on our basic mammalian brain functions for our own functions like hunger, pain and comfort needs.
Later on as toddlers we start analyzing and constructing our own consciousness maps or Me-Maps.
and we also construct maps that signify our relationships with both parents and our siblings, or You-Maps for everyone we associate with as well as We-Maps that outline our overall group cohesion and synchronicity.
Here is where religious Indoctrination enters the mix.
Since we not only construct You-Maps for those we transact with, but, we also construct You-Maps for people and characters we learn about. Such as in reading Superman comics, we construct consciousness maps for Superman and the other characters. Thus we can automatically sense that we have a relationship with Superman, because we have this consciousness map in our Prefrontal Cortex, which makes us think or conceive we know how Superman thinks about almost anything.
These consciousness maps are a construct, formed from comments and rules uttered by or attributed to Superman and scenarios enacted within the comic.
In reference to religious scripture, these are equivalent to Rules and Statements attributed to God, along with actions within the many parables and books.
These build consciousness or You-Maps of God and the other Biblical characters, including Satan.
Indoctrination also builds a strong association between their God and the Victim which creates a strongly imposed God & I, We-Map. Which in some cases rivals their family We-Maps.
Through indoctrination, these You-Maps of God and We-Maps of their association with God, are continually being retrieved and adjusted throughout the Indoctrination process. So that the victim eventually has such a strong You-Map and We-Map of the God, it rivals the Maps of his/her own Mother and Family. I've known many who completely disassociated themselves from their families because they felt a much stronger bond with their God.
This is a great explanation of why many Indoctrinated individuals feel they have a strong relationship with their God, because of the heavily fortified, but incredibly False consciousness maps of God that Indoctrination has implanted into their prefrontal cortex.
Religious Experiences:
Since those of us who have been influenced by Indoctrination already have Perceptual You-Maps of God, when unexplainable events and brain trauma to the Temporal Lobes occur, the probability that we will draw on this misconception of God is heightened.
Temporal lobe trauma has been verified by experimentation to invoke images and illusions of such characters that have been instilled into our memories by indoctrination. For instance: Christians will often have illusions of the Biblical God, Jesus or Mother Mary, depending on the strength of the links and You-Maps created for these characters. Maybe some will invoke images of Superman, for a Superman comic freak. Though for Islamic sufferers, Allah and Muhammad are often invoked and for Hindu sufferers, Vishnu, Rama or Krishna become the characters in their Temporal Lobe trauma illusions.
So, with You-Maps for these characters deeply entrenched in their Prefrontal Cortex and some that suffer traumas and depression, anxiety which invokes responses from their temporal lobes.
It's no wonder that they gain a sense of strong connection and sense an attachment to their God(s).
Though: Modern Neurological research may eventually prove this connection and then we can eventually prove that God is in fact, nothing more than a construction of the incredibly deceptive Human Brain.

Ooooo ... that Steve Paulina piece is a KEEPER!
Thanks Joan and Loren, yes we are describing religion as a mindware virus.
I particularly like this Blog about 10 reasons not to join an established religion: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/05/10-reasons-you-should-neve...
I think you guys just described what religious memes are - mindware viruses which muck up the brain's O/S ... which reminds me once again of the following:
Christianity alters your identity to insure the survival of ITSELF.
-- from Prplfox's video series - http://ning.it/R2isGS
One nice little term that I now use to attack Theists is "Contaminated Mindware".
This is a term developed and used by D. N. Perkins, Ph.D.
If reflective intelligence is the target of opportunity, then we should examine its nature more deeply. What is it "made of?" Is it a bag of tricks, a bundle of attitudes, a repertoire of habits?
All those things and more. One encompassing way to describe reflective intelligence is to say that it is made of "mindware." Just as kitchenware consists in tools for working in the kitchen, and software consists in tools for working with your computer, mindware consists in tools for the mind. A piece of mindware is anything a person can learn -- a strategy, an attitude, a habit -- that extends the person's general powers to think critically and creatively."
From: "Mindware and the Metacurriculum" D. N. Perkins
There is a set of beliefs, rules, strategies, convictions, etcetera that is called 'contaminated mindware'.
Definition of contaminated mindware:
Conditions under which contaminated mindware can spread easily:
Intelligence alone does not protect against contaminated mindware
You might think that intelligence would guarantee a good protection against contaminated mindware but this turns out to be wrong. By making narratives complex, highly intelligent people can even become extra attracted to them. Further, studies have demonstrated that intelligent people may be more capable of creating 'islands of false beliefs' or 'webs of falsity' by using their considerable computational power to rationalize their beliefs and to ward off the arguments of skeptics."
From: http://solutionfocusedchange.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/contaminated-m...
A summarized case study.
Source: Rotman School of Management
5 pages. Publication Date: Jan 01, 2010. Prod. #: ROT098-PDF-ENG
"Research in Cognitive Psychology and the newer field of NeuroEconomics consistently demonstrates that people violate the strictures of rationality on a regular basis. This literature has generated a lengthy list of irrational behaviors to which many of us are subject on any given day, whether we like to admit it or not. These well-documented violations of rationality have, in turn, spawned a list of biases that can be used to define rational thinking'. That is, we can assess degrees of rational thinking in terms of the number and severity of cognitive biases that an individual displays. The authors describe some of the most common biases that challenge rational thinking, in the hopes that a better understanding of them will foster more bias-free decision making. Topics covered include serial associative cognition', my-side processing' and mindware gaps'."
I'm still researching Consciousness, and the consciousness maps we make of ourselves and those around us. We even map the consciousness of those we have never met, but only hear about like Saddam Hussein, etc. We gain what we think is an insight into their mind.
For instance, I have formed a consciousness (You) map of somebody I don't even know, just because they frequent the same club as I do and sort of interact only with body language and facial expressions, yet my mind has created a You-Map for her that has her with some sort of interest in me which may be entirely wrong. She appears to be in her early 20s, and if our eyes meet, she will greet me with a big smile. When she laughs our loud, she always looks my way as if I should take notice of her being humorous. Though I go there mainly because there is a very nice peaceful, bright place where I can read my text books. Though, it seems that every week when I go there, she finds a seat closer to where I like to sit. Last week she sat right alongside me and I did my best to ignore her. She is beginning to invade my personal space. So I have this consciousness map of her being another "Space Invader" and I'm going to have to either find another nice reading spot or confront her to find out why she is creeping in on my territory.
It may be for a completely different reason than my You-Map of her has developed, though my Map is also using the basis of past experience with such female "Space Invaders" and I may have to offend another stranger.
Don't know why this keeps happening, but I'm hoping that this time my You-Map of her is wrong.
She might just like the same peaceful position atmosphere that I do.
Though it may be easier to find another position, because I prefer to avoid hassles.
The problem with the You-Maps that indoctrination forms for god in your prefrontal cortex is that such You-Maps that we form for family and close friends, it maintains a sense of familiarity with this fictitious god in your psych for life.
This is part of the reason that some return to religion later in life, because, at times of desperation and this inbuilt familiarity become a focus. I remember my mother, prior to her death from cancer, who returned to religion in the last months, yet she had been atheist for 45 years after having had a very strict Catholic indoctrination.
It was the You-Map or False map of god's consciousness, forged into her prefrontal cortex by her indoctrination that drew her back in her last months of desperation for something to relieve her of cancer.
This is ever so common.
A false familiarity with a fake You-Map.
It's the same You-Maps that make Theologians believe they understand the "Mind of god".
Like I once believed I knew the "Mind Of Superman", because of the You-Map the comics imposed into my prefrontal cortex.
I agree. The whole concept is in the deception of the human brain. It's sort of like fox flying in your dreams and then you wake up to discover that nothing really happened at all. It was imaginary.
The day I consider that Christianity has any real support from their Canon of books, is the day that the Catholic church includes the entire "Harry Potter" series and Tolkien's works in their Canon.
Scientology should include the "Star Wars" collection into their Canon as well.
LOL cbenhamcox, canonization of scripture.
Like the rationalization of creating an irrational list of irrational books for the irrationally divine instruction of indoctrinees by irrational usurpers.
Sounds very Rational to moi.

I was just reading Betsy's post. I do so agree with the sentiment that a woman should punish in lieu of divorce. I have a humiliation chart that I have for my AB's that would work well for naughty husbands. I have all the different offenses listed, along with coordinating punishments. On occasion I have to add something, but for the most part I have everything covered. On this chart I have everything from sucking a pacifier to urinating in a cat box in public and beyond. I know I have some naughtiness out there in need of some serious punishment. Have all the run of the mill punishments been used on you already? Well then you need to come see me . I have something on my list for everyone, no matter HOW naughty you have been.

WASHINGTON—As Congress discusses a repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, the Chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, Bishop Frank J. Dewane of Venice, is urging members of the House and Senate to provide a replacement plan concurrently so that millions of Americans will continue to have access to vital health care.
In a letter sent to members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate on January 18, 2017, Bishop Dewane wrote that repealing the ACA should not be undertaken without simultaneous passage of a replacement plan that will continue healthcare access for those who rely on it for their well-being. At the same time, the letter also underscores the importance of creating a replacement plan that will safeguard human life from conception to natural death and also protect conscience rights and adequate healthcare services for the poor including healthcare for immigrants.
The full text of the letter sent to the U.S. Senate/U.S. House of Representatives is available at: www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/health-care/upload/letter-to-congress-from-bishop-dewane-re-aca-2017-01-18.pdf

A fabulous first day of spring!
The weather was a perfect 74 degrees with a gentle breeze. I spent about an hour in the hammock reading and then came inside to have a Pokemon battle with my son. After supper, we went to our Thursday night family hangout. If you're ever in Salina, Kansas, check out the Ad Astra Coffee and Book shop. It is a blast and they make a great cup of coffee! On Thursdays they have a gentleman that plays his guitar and sings about any old tune you can think of. It's quiet and cozy. The best part was that while I was enjoying my mocha, I got to watch my wife and daughter dance. FUN!
Love my family. Love my life.
Take care all. HAPPY SPRING!

Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.
Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline. You have to make a time schedule for yourself and stick to it. There will be a time frame of course for any job you take up and you have to fulfill that project within that time frame.
There are many things that can be done working from home. A few of them is listed below that will give you a general idea about the benefits of this concept.
This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.
Freelance can be in different wings. Either you can be a freelance reporter or a freelance photographer. You can also do designing or be in the advertising field doing project on your own. Being independent and working independently will depend on your field of work and the availability of its worth in the market. If you like doing jewellery designing you can do that at home totally independently. You can also work on freelancing as a marketing executive working from home. Wanna know more, email us on email@example.com and we will send you information on how you can actually work as a marketing freelancer.
Internet related work
This is a very vast field and here sky is the limit. All you need is a computer and Internet facility. Whatever field you are into work at home is perfect match in the software field. You can match your time according to your convenience and complete whatever projects you get. To learn more about how to work from home, contact us today on firstname.lastname@example.com our team will get you started on some excellent work from home projects.
Diet food
Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.
Thus think over this concept and go ahead.

This is the final (for now) entry in my series on metal in Botswana. Here are Parts One and Two.
The previous posts covered the research I have done so far; this one will be about problems with this topic, where else this research could go, my personal recommendations, and finally a list of sources.
Not surprisingly, it's hard to research a scene in a different country without ever visiting that country. That's part of the reason I looked at the othering, exoticizing aspects of the media's presentation of the scene – and of course there's perhaps an irony or a methodological problem in taking all of my sources from the media and then accusing the media of a bias, but I'm confident my point is a valid one still.
The volume and variety of information that can be gathered purely through online press and scholarly sources is limited, and there are huge gaps and inconsistencies in some of what I've found. Not all bands update their social media as often as others, and sometimes different social media sites may contradict each other. Encyclopaedia Metallum doesn't list every Botswanan band that I've found, for example. Some bands I only know from references on others bands' pages or gig programmes.

From the report on Guantanamo detainees by professors and students at Seton Hall University Law School, constructed from declassified government information (and nothing else):
> Only 5% of the [Guantanamo] detainees were captured by United States forces. 86% of the detainees were arrested by either Pakistan or the Northern Alliance and turned over to United States custody.
> This 86% of the detainees captured by Pakistan or the Northern Alliance were handed over to the United States at a time in which the United States offered large bounties for capture of suspected enemies.
Call your Senators and Congressmen to ask them what they're doing to stop torture and mistreatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere. It makes a difference.
More on the report:
>The media and public fascination with who is detained at Guantanamo and why has been fueled in large measure by the refusal of the Government, on the grounds of national security, to provide much information about the individuals and the charges against them. The information available to date has been anecdotal and erratic, drawn largely from interviews with the few detainees who have been released or from statements or court filings by their attorneys in the pending habeas corpus proceedings that the Government has not declared ?¢'Ǩ?°?É'Äû?ɬ?classified.?¢'Ǩ?°?É'Äû?ɬ?
>This Report is the first effort to provide a more detailed picture of who the Guantanamo detainees are, how they ended up there, and the purported bases for their enemy combatant designation. The data in this Report is based entirely upon the United States Government?¢'Ǩ?°?É'Äû?ɬ¥s own documents. This Report provides a window into the Government?¢'Ǩ?°?É'Äû?ɬ¥s success detaining only those that the President has called ?¢'Ǩ?°?É'Äû?ɬ?the worst of the worst.?¢'Ǩ?°?É'Äû?ɬ?
They have a new report that just came out Monday. I heard about it on C-SPAN today when the authors of the report, who are counsel for two detainees, spoke at George Washington University along with former detainees in England who spoke about the beatings, solitary confinement, and other mistreatment they received.

Time Out says
Surry Hills' never-ending tequila party is still going strong
Just keep on repressing those teenage memories of the bottle with the red plastic sombrero on it, because crap tequila is the equivalent of Fruity Lexia cask wine – you only drink it when you're young and dumb. Right now at Tio's they've got around 120 different spirits on their books and some of them are exceptionally difficult to get in this country.
Play your cards right and in a quiet moment the bartenders will walk you through some of the extra special stuff, like the Los Dazantes mezcal that burns like a grass fire and extinguishes as quickly with a mineral, citrus, salty herbal flavour. Or maybe you just want a Parallel cocktail made with mezcal, green mango, lemongrass and lime leaf that lets salty sweet and sour spiral around your tongue. Or just order a Paloma and let the hours fly by to the sound of Mexican surf-rock and the rustle of paper bags that the free spiced popcorn comes in.

text: Beware: Your credit score could take a hit. iStockphoto By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor From Kiplinger's Personal Finance, January 2017 Is it better for my credit score to cancel a card after paying it off or to keep the account open? --M.J.D., Glouster, Ohio TAKE OUR QUIZ: Will It Sink Your Credit Score? Keep the account open. A key factor in your score is your "credit utilization ratio," which is the amount of your available credit you've used (divide your total balances by your credit limits for all open cards). Credit expert Beverly Harzog, author of The Debt Escape Plan, recommends keeping your ratio below 30%. If you're trying to boost your score more quickly, it's even better to keep it below 10%, she says. Sponsored Content If you want to close an account with high fees, pay down the balances on the rest of your cards to minimize the impact on your credit utilization ratio. Closing the account won't remove it from your credit report. A closed account with no late payment history can remain on your credit report for up to 10 years. An account with negative payment history will remain on your credit report for seven years.

A heartwarming family adventure fantasy, David Lowery's Pete's Dragon takes some characters and situations from Disney's own 1977 musical fantasy and fashions a new story more in tune with 21st century sensibilities.
The Production: 3.5/5
A heartwarming family adventure fantasy, David Lowery's Pete's Dragon takes some characters and situations from Disney's own 1977 musical fantasy and fashions a new story more in tune with 21st century sensibilities. It's a beautifully produced and wonderfully acted romp, more dramatic and less prone to slapstick than the earlier tale and with a winning though restrained use of sentimentality earning the film a deserved payoff at the end.
Orphaned four-year old Pete (Levi Alexander) wanders into the Oregon woods after the automobile death of his parents only to be taken up by a furry green dragon he names "Elliot" based on a character in a book he was learning to read. Six years later, wild child Pete (now played by Oakes Fegley) and Elliot get along beautifully in the deep woods outside Millhaven. Foresters led by Gavin (Karl Urban) cutting deeply into the forest find Pete when he's startled and falls from a tree, and he's taken to the hospital much to Elliot's dismay. Park Ranger Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), her husband Jack (Wes Bentley), and their daughter Natalie (Oona Laurence) take a special interest in the orphan boy, and his descriptions of his friend Elliot, combined with sights Gavin swears he glimpsed in the woods and stories Grace's father Meacham (Robert Redford) used to tell about the Millhaven dragon have the entire town believing there is a dragon deep in the woods, one they're determined to find.
Director David Lowery has written the screenplay with Toby Halbrooks, and while their tale is a fairly predictable one with an innocent creature being hunted by segments of humanity determined to capture and exploit it (giving the rest of humanity a bad name with their proprietary and somewhat unfeeling natures), they manage to not turn their story into quite as bloodthirsty a quest as might be expected. They also manage to stress the more human and humane aspects of the Pete-Elliot relationship that gives the audience a vivid rooting interest to see the devoted twosome somehow manage to reunite despite others' efforts to the contrary. With today's vastly sophisticated CG magicians, Elliot can come to such believable life that he takes on many "human" aspects which we can read into his behaviors (for example, his spying on the family reading Pete a bedtime story letting him know his charge is in safe hands can be programmed into the character's creation so that emotions flicker across his face as they can do across the faces of the very best actors). This is such an improvement over the 1977 hand drawn animated dragon that makes this rendition much more emotionally present and more captivatingly alive. And, of course, additional special effects wizardry takes us on exhilarating flights with Elliot through the skies and makes the climactic showdown with his would-be captors on a bridge, nicely directed by David Lowery, daring and suspenseful.
Both young actors Oakes Fegley and Oona Laurence are expressively appealing without overdoing either the brattiness or the preciousness inherent in their ages, and we continually cheer their spiritedness throughout the movie. Bryce Dallas Howard is a warm, loving presence as the mother, and Robert Redford as her wry father brings a twinkly sense of humor to the proceedings. Karl Urban serves as the primary antagonist without ever going so far as to be a total villain, out to capture Elliot but without bloodshed. Wes Bentley is quietly sensible as the father.
Video: 5/5
3D Rating: NA
The film's 2.39:1 theatrical aspect ratio is faithfully reproduced using the AVC codec in this 1080p transfer. Filmed in New Zealand substituting for Oregon, the greens of the forest are simply gorgeous in Bojan Bazelli's masterful cinematography with other colors vivid or subdued as needed and skin tones always realistic. Sharpness is exemplary with the CG work on Elliot's fur making it seem completely realistic in texture and thickness. Contrast has been admirably applied for a consistent visual experience, and black levels are superb. The movie has been divided into 16 chapters.
The movie was shown in theaters in a 3D version which unfortunately has not been announced for American home video. A 3D version would certainly expand on the boundless expanses and depths of those forests where Elliot and Pete live and play.
Audio: 5/5
The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 sound mix is reference quality all the way with traces of directionalized dialogue offering some dimensional expanse on the mostly center channel-focused verbiage. Several soundtrack songs and Daniel Hart's sentimental background score get great spread through the fronts and rears. Atmospheric effects likewise get superb placement throughout the soundstage (an early encounter Pete has with a pack of wolves places the listener in the forest with him with wolves closing in for a strike).
Special Features: 3/5
Audio Commentary: writer-director David Lowery, his writing partner Toby Halbrooks, and young stars Oakes Fegley and Oona Laurence have a fun experience watching the movie and commenting on memories of its making.

Welcome to New Zealand (1:56, HD): director David Lowery and actress Bryce Dallas Howard express the beauties of the area and explain why it was used for filming.
Promo Trailer (HD): Beauty and the Beast
DVD/Digital Copy: disc and code sheet enclosed in the case.
Overall: 3.5/5
Pete's Dragon is a welcome reimagining of the earlier Disney fantasy offering excellent performances and some breathtaking cinematography to enhance the heartwarming storytelling. Video and audio are reference quality missing only the 3D element which would have made for a perfect home video release. Nevertheless, families should really enjoy this.

Writing in Huffington Post, John Mellencamp says that the music business's problems began long before Napster. Relying on Soundscan store reporting and BDS per-play radio reporting changed the game, he says, "from one that measured popularity to one that was driven by population" :
Record companies soon discovered that because of BDS, they only needed to concentrate on about 12 radio stations; there was no longer a business rationale for working secondary markets that were soon forgotten — despite the fact that these were the very places where rock and roll was born and thrived.
Combine that with songs midwifed by corporate boards focused on maximizing shareholder value. and art suffered:
Early in my career, I wrote and recorded a song called "I Need A Lover" that was only played on just one radio station in Washington, DC the first week it came out. Through much work from local radio reps at the record company, the song ended up on thousands of radio stations. Sing the chorus of "I Need A Lover." It's not the best song I ever wrote nor did it achieve more than much more than being a mid-chart hit, but nevertheless, you can sing that chorus. Now sing the chorus of even one Mariah Carey song. Nothing against Mariah, she's a brilliantly gifted vocalist, but the point here is the way that the songs were built — mine from the ground up, hers from the top down.
One genre didn't become a casualty, though, says Mellencamp:
During the time of the upheaval wrought by SoundScan, BDS and the "Wall Streeting" of the industry, country music seized the opportunity and tacitly claimed the traditional music business. Country has come to dominate the heartland of America, a landscape abandoned or ignored by the gatekeepers of rock and pop. Great new country music stars came from seemingly nowhere to grow to tremendous popularity; think Garth Brooks.
Mellencamp covers the other usual suspects – the CD as a greed engine, Napster's ascent, and the present day sad state of the biz, where, sadly, "it's really a matter of "every man for himself." In terms of possibilities, we are but an echo of what we once were."
This means more artists are also responsible for marketing themselves and seizing every opportunity that makes sense in a world of slimmer and slimmer pickings. Once upon a time, this was the job of A&R folks at record companies. Mellencamp takes a not-so-subtle swipe at gadflies like Bob Lefsetz, who fragged Mellencamp awhile back both for his alliance with Chevrolet, and for looking too young on the cover of his last album:
I've always found it amusing that a few people who have never made a record or written a song seem to know so much more about what an artist should be doing than the artist himself. If these pundits know so much, I'd suggest that make their own records and just leave us out of it.
It should be noted that this reprises Mellencamp's earlier judicious dispatch of Lefsetz's comments.

True love is seeing yourself in another. It is unity, wholeness, and totality. When you realize your oneness, not just with your partner, but with every human being, then your need to control and possess them fades away. For you cannot possess somebody any more than you can possess a physical attribute on your own body. Knowing that you are a part of everything and everyone despite the relationship labels given, you can begin to see that trust is the only option because separation is merely an illusion. You can never lose anyone or anything. Even death cannot separate. Let go of the need to control and you will see that the love that comes to you freely without restrictions, labels, and boundaries will be so much deeper and more meaningful than any love that is hindered by fear.Last modified on

The oil and gas boom in the USA caused the price of natural gas to fall and stay low, ended a 35-year long slide in domestic oil production, helped to cut oil imports 20%, and delivered oil and gas royalty checks to 10 million Americans for production from their land.
That would be about 3% of all Americans. Stunning.

Significant errors made by the Department for Transport last year during a bidding competition for the London-to-Scotland West Coast line have "severely dented" confidence in the rail sector, MPs were told on Monday.
Martin Griffiths, the finance director of Stagecoach who will step up to chief executive in May, urged the Government to urgently set out in detail how it plans to award rail contracts in future to restore confidence among financial investors, staff and passengers.
At a hearing of the Transport Select Committee, Mr Griffiths was asked about the effect on investor confidence of last year's scandal, which has so far put a £50m dent in the public purse.
"Is doesn't get much worse does it?" said Mr Griffiths, who was speaking in his capacity as a member of the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train companies operating in Britain.
"We have come through a difficult time. To rebuild investor confidence and to do that quickly, we will have to understand in detail what a new [franchising] model is likely to look like."
Stagecoach has run the West Coast line for the past 16 years in partnership with Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Trains but was controversially told last August that it had lost out on a new operating contract to FirstGroup, which bid £5.5bn.
The decision was overturned by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin in the face of a legal challenge by Virgin Rail, and after "serious errors" in the DfT's handling of the competition were unearthed.
Michael Roberts, chief executive of the Association of Train Operating Companies, said there was "no doubt" the crisis had "dented confidence" in Britain's rail franchising system and could potentially lead to a long-term increase in costs for the taxpayer as rail companies seek to reduce risk.
The uncertainty surrounding the future of rail franchising deepened last week when the Government scrapped another major franchise competition – for Great Western services between London, Bristol and Cardiff – and refused to reimburse bidders their £40m costs.
Mr McLoughlin signalled to MPs on Monday that he would not change his mind on compensating Great Western bidders. "There have been other examples where governments have taken the decision to cancel competitions and have not reimbursed bid costs," the Transport Secretary said, referring to a 2003 decision to halt the Northern, Wessex and Greater Anglia franchise process.
He said the DfT intended to appoint a franchising advisory panel as one of the steps to avoid a repeat of last year's crisis.

Arguments for both abound:
For REST-ful web services:
- can be called by a web page
- can be called from an XSLT Stylesheet (a restatement of the above, but with really useful ramifications)
- are easy to implement using off-the-shelf programming languages and libraries. A REST-ful webservice call can be implemented in a page or less of Java code in a single class.
- Can also be implemented using web page technologies such as ASP, JSP, PHP, et cetera.
SOAP Web Services:
- Have standards based and machine readable interface definitions (WSDLs) that can guide code generation. Most application development frameworks support SOAP.
- Support strong data typing in the information exchange.
- Support routing of web-service calls.
- Layers security into the protocol (e.g., WS-Security)
- Supports reliable messaging
- Are already supported by many healthcare standards
As usual when selecting tools, I would suggest that you select the right tool for the job. Let's take a specific example. Recently IHE created a specification for Sharing Value Sets. This specification is intended primarily to support an EHR's access to a collection of coded terminology. The profile oroginally suggested SOAP, and for various reasons, continues to include SOAP as part of profile. Some of these reasons are based upon the strengths of SOAP, which include the standards-based interface definition, strong data typeing and layering of security that are not readily addressed by REST.
However, there is one use case where this service can strongly support testing efforts that demands a REST-ful interface. IHE uses Schematron to test conformance of content to a specification. Many schematron implementations rely on XSLT. The interfaces defined by the SVS profile cannot easily be called if they support only a SOAP interface. The resolution by IHE was to support both REST and SOAP in the profile, and in noting that this was a "secondary" use of the profile, made REST an option. This was an easy decision because we obtained the benefits of both protocols for the different use cases, and the requirements of the two use cases were in fact different. The latter use did not have as strong a need for security or routing of the request. Testing efforts are done in a very different environment as is loading of vocabulary subsets into production EHR systems.
Yes, SOAP is more complex than REST, but with that added complexity comes added capability not present in the REST-ful framework.
My own answer to this debate is similar to the answer I give on any "religious war". My father told me regularly to pick the right tool for the job. Not everything is a nail, screw or bolt, so you need to have a toolbox that contains hammers, screwdrivers and wrenches. The guidelines I learned from my father were Hammer to nail, screwdriver to screw and wrench to bolt. Yes, you can hammer in a screw, or use a wrench to pound in a nail, but I've rarely been successful in tightening a bolt with either a screwdriver or a hammer -- for that I need at least a pair of pliers, and if I want it to stay fastened, a wrench.
The whole notion that there is "one-best-way" to communicate information flies in the face of everything I've learned over the last 40 years about tool selection. What is needed is not a common data transport, but rather, a common set of guidelines that we can use to understand how to best select a transport method for the problem at hand.

AR Rahman unable to oblige Gautham
AR Rahman was supposed to do the music for Neethane En Ponvasantham, the trilingual directed by Gautham Menon and starring Jiiva and Samantha in the Tamil version. However, things have not worked out as AR Rahman is a very busy man nowadays and in demand across the globe.
So Harris Jeyaraj will team up once again with Gautham Menon for this film. They have a great track record with super hits like Vaaranam Aayiram, Kaakha Kaakha, Minnale etc. Fans of the duo will be thrilled to hear this news once it is made official. Meanwhile, AR Rahman has promised to do Yohan Adhyayam Ondru for Gautham Menon.

Recently there are lots of support tickets about items not working and the most common reason is wrong URL set into the supplier item's link field. Below you can find a list with the most used suppliers and the URLs that works best for them into SkuGrid. Please note the importance of using links with the new security protocols ( https ) instead of the old one ( http ) for most of the stores from this list.
NOTE : All links leading to a specific object are just an example!
eBay :
The default URL structure for eBay is this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/*item_number*
Usually there are some additions to the link that might cause an issue like : https://www.ebay.com/itm/*item_number*?m OR ?category=XX OR ?_trkparms=xxxx and etc.
Here is one example for a link that is considered wrong and will not work properly :
Amazon :
The default URL structure for Amazon is the following : https://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN always accompanied by one of our system additions depends on what kind of the items is - for example :https://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN#skuopt:fulfilled OR https://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN#skuopt:lowestnew and etc. Every additional string after the ASIN except our system one can cause issues while tracking the item and possible miscalculations on the price , qnantity and etc.
Usually the most common mistake of the users is getting the link from the wrong place which might lead to using a URL with wrong category - for example :
using a link that is considered wrong and will not work properly :
Walmart :
The default URL structure for this supplier is the following : https://www.walmart.com/ip/*item_number*
Available options at the end of the link: #skuopt:walmart for items sold directly by Walmart and #skuopt:all for items sold by any other supplier different than Walmart
Example of totally incorrect link that will not work properly :
HomeDepot :
Default URL structure for this supplier : https://www.homedepot.com/p/*item_name-id/item_number* ( or here is the full URL for example - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-66-in-Satin-Nickel-Floor-Lamp-with-5-Plastic-Bell-Shades-524505/202742948 )
Example of wrong URL : Basically everything after the item number can interrupt the performance of the link --> https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-66-in-Satin-Nickel-Floor-Lamp-with-5-Plastic-Bell-Shades-524505/202742948?Category OR ?read_more and etc.
Overstock :
Default URL structure for this supplier : https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Reclaimed-Style-Grey-Coffee-Table-with-Double-X-Frame/8847268/product.html
Example of wrong URL :
https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Reclaimed-Style-Grey-Coffee-Table-with-Double-X-Frame/8847268/product.html?refccid=MK4NZ2K2GGMLDDSBRGHUVSDFBA&searchidx=7&keywords=&refinement=sale%3AOn%20Sale OR whatever there is after the .html part of the link
Sam's Club :
Default URL structure for this supplier : https://www.samsclub.com/sams/berry-wreath-wreath/prod21230502.ip
Example of wrong URL : https://www.samsclub.com/sams/berry-wreath-wreath/prod21230502.ip?xid=plp8075-seas:product:1:1 *and basically everything after the default structure
Kmart / Sears :
Default URL structure for Kmart : http://www.kmart.com/trim-a-home-reg-baby-fawn-50-lights/p-009W007730483001P
Default URL structure for Sears : http://www.sears.com/donner-and-blitzen-inc-7.5'-snow-country-flocked/p-07125891000P
Example of wrong URL Kmart : http://www.kmart.com/trim-a-home-reg-baby-fawn-50-lights/p-009W007730483001P?rrec=true *and basically everything after the default structure
Example of wrong URL Sears : http://www.sears.com/donner-and-blitzen-inc-7.5'-snow-country-flocked/p-07125891000P?plpSellerId=Sears&prdNo=7&blockNo=7&blockType=G7 *and basically everything after the default structure
For all other suppliers one simple rule can apply - try shortening the URL as much as you can, make it as simple as you can. If the link stops working , go back a step or two and try again.
If you have trouble finding the correct structure, you can always reach the support team for help. They'll be glad to provide you with suggestions.
