Could your community in Offaly use a makeover?
Have you spotted a rundown space in Offaly that could benefit from a makeover?
Flora has enlisted the help of Lisa McKnight, star of RTE's Super Garden and Masterchef's Nicha Maguire to launch the 'Flora Sunflower Makeover' campaign, which will see a sad, derelict area in the lucky winners' community transformed into a happy, sunflower filled, family-friendly space.
The Flora Sunflower Makeover will involve a complete clean up of the space; removing unsightly rubbish, overgrown weeds, painting walls etc. and could also include the addition of useful equipment, such as picnic tables and wooden exercise bars – perfect for a stretch and cool down after some outdoor exercise! Of course, what would a Sunflower Makeover be without sunflowers? The winning space will be packed with lots and lots of beautiful sunflowers, sure to bring a smile to everyone's face.
To be in with a chance to win this great prize, which will benefit the whole community, entrants simply submit a picture of the space that needs attention and explain why their community deserves a Flora Sunflower Makeover. The entry can either be posted through Facebook at www.facebook.com/FloraWomensMiniMarathon.com, or simply e-mailed to email@example.com.
Entries will be accepted from Friday, 18 October until Tuesday, 26 November. The judging panel, led by Lisa and Nicha, will have the challenging job of choosing the final winning space, which will be announced on Monday 2 December. So what are you waiting for? Get those entries in!
Speaking at the launch of the campaign Masterchef's Nicha Maguire said, "This is a fantastic initiative from Flora. It'll be great to see a community space reclaimed where families can take time out from their busy lives and enjoy quality time together, having picnics, enjoying sports etc. I'm also looking forward to sharing some delicious Flora recipes with busy mums and dads during this campaign."
Lisa McKnight said: "I'm delighted to be involved with Flora on this hugely worthwhile project. We've all seen those local eyesores that really just need some organised TLC and sunflowers are such a fantastic way to brighten a space. I'm really looking forward to getting started on the winning space."
Flora is made with a scrumptious mix of sunflower and other seed oils. The Flora range, which includes Flora Original, Flora Light and Flora Buttery has recently had its own makeover, celebrating the sunflower goodness in its vibrant new packaging.
The blend of seed oils in Flora is great for your growing kids. It contains essential omegas 3 & 6 which help with the healthy growth and development of your little ones.
Shoeb Asad, Brand Manager Flora said: "The sunflower is a hugely important element of the Flora brand and we're thrilled to be spreading a little of that sunflower goodness to our Irish communities. I'm very excited to see the final transformed space."

Ah, the lighting of the National Christmas Tree — a cherished American pastime centered around pomp, pageantry and peace on Earth that has also occasionally included fiery protests, live animals and Willard Scott dressed as Old St. Nick.
As this year's National Christmas Tree is about to be illuminated in the nation's capitol for the 90th time with the assistance of retired teenage medical practitioner Neil Patrick Harris, we thought it would be appropriate to examine the rich history behind what is perhaps the world's most famous seasonally embellished evergreen — aside from that showboating spruce that's been going up in Midtown Manhattan every year since 1933, and another famous D.C. tree, the White House Christmas Tree.
Given that the National Christmas Tree has been around in some shape or form — numerous species, a couple of different names, a few different locations — since the administration of Calvin Coolidge, there's a lot you may not know about it.
For starters: did you know that an electrical industry trade group is often cited as being responsible for orchestrating the first tree lighting in 1923 as a method of encouraging more folks to buy Christmas lights and use more electricity?
Or did you know that former first lady Barbara Bush topped the tree a grand total of 12 times, eight times as the wife of the vice president and four times as first lady?
Read on for more facts that perhaps you didn't know about the National Christmas Tree. And even more historical background can be found over at the National Park Service website.
Wanted dead or (usually) alive
Over the past few decades, that other big-deal Tannenbaum, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, has been recycled after its tourist-snaring tenure comes to an end in the first week of January. Since 2007, the illuminated evergreen — typically a Norway spruce in the 65-feet-and-over category hailing from the tri-state area — has been milled into lumber and incorporated into Habitat for Humanity affordable housing projects, usually in the tree's state of origin. Prior to that, the tree had been mulched and donated to the Boy Scouts of America.
While recent Rockefeller Center Christmas trees have been of the cut-and-then-recycled variety, the National Christmas Tree has predominately been a living tree with the exception of its inaugural year and from 1954 to 1972 when cut trees were used. Since 1973, the National Christmas Tree has exclusively been a living evergreen (a serious letter-writing campaign and pressure from environmentalists are to thank for this), although there have been a few arboreal swap-outs over the years.
The 1973 tree, a 42-foot-tall blue spruce from Pennsylvania, only lasted through 1976. Apparently, the tree was doomed from the start as it fell off a flatbed truck en route to being planted. In addition to not agreeing with Washington, D.C.'s sultry climate, the tree suffered injuries in the incident that ultimately affected its life span.
In 1977, another blue spruce was transplanted to replace 1973's ailing tree. Sadly, it was uprooted and suffered severe root damage during a powerful windstorm that swept through the nation's capitol on Jan. 26, 1978. And with that, the search for yet another National Christmas Tree commenced. In 1978, a carefully vetted evergreen, yet another blue spruce, was transplanted in the Ellipse later that year along with a backup blue spruce from New Jersey. That tree, 30 feet tall at the time of its planting, persevered through numerous malfunctions, modifications and major world events. However, it was no match for a windstorm that hit the D.C. area in February 2011. During the storm, the trunk of the long-standing National Christmas Tree snapped and the evergreen was felled.
In March 2011, a Colorado blue spruce from New Jersey was planted as a successor to the beloved tree that had survived numerous presidential administrations. That tree didn't last long, however, as it was pronounced dead from transplant shock in May 2012. On Oct. 27, just before the arrival of Superstorm Sandy, another blue spruce, this one 28 feet tall and hailing from Virginia, was planted in the Ellipse. It survived that catastrophic storm and will, one would hope, survive many more bouts of severe weather to come.
Location, location, location
The cut evergreens that grace Rockefeller Center each holiday season tend to originate from the Tri-State area (one notable exception is when it was brought in from Ottawa). Yet during the National Christmas Tree's "non-living period" from the mid-1950s to the early '70s, the specimens were shipped in from all over the place: Michigan (1954's balsam fir), New Mexico (1956's Engelmann spruce), Maine (1959's white spruce), Washington (1961's Douglas fir), California (1966's red fir), and on. As for the very first National Christmas Tree, it was a cut balsam fir hailing from Coolidge's native state of Vermont. (That's the president with the first tree in the photo at right.) Various living trees that followed from 1924 to 1953 all came from New York, Virginia or the D.C. area with the exception of 1934 to 1938 when two Fraser firs from North Carolina were planted in Lafayette Park.
And on the topic of locale, the National Christmas Tree, living or cut, has almost always been lit in the Ellipse, a 52-acre section of President's Park just south of the White House. In fact, smack dab in the middle of the Ellipse was the location of the first National Christmas Tree. From 1924 to 1953, the ceremony shuffled around before returning to its original home in the Ellipse in 1954 where the National Christmas Tree has been planted/installed ever since.
For its second year, the National Christmas Tree was moved to Sherman Plaza, where it remained until 1933. As mentioned, from 1934 to 1938 the tree was planted north of the White House in Lafayette Park, also a part of the National Park Service-governed President's Park. For the 1939 and 1940 seasons, the tree returned to its original location, the Ellipse. However, it was relocated yet again the following year to the South Lawn of the White House. President Roosevelt believed this to be a more intimate location for the 1941 ceremony, one attended by Winston Churchill. The tree remained there for the next 12 years until the tree-lighting ceremony was moved back to the north side of Ellipse and the "cut tree era" commenced along with the annual and sometimes controversial Pageant of Peace celebration, a monthlong event that includes or has included life-sized nativity scenes, a petting zoo, model trains, religious ceremonies, musical events, a Yule log pit, a reindeer pen and 56 smaller evergreens representing each state, the District of Columbia and the five territories.
And the button-pushing honor goes to…
One might assume that the lights on the National Christmas Tree are physically turned on with a push of a button by the commander in chief. One also might assume that the president is physically on hand to give a grand public speech about peace, love, unity and all that jazz before wishing the nation happy holidays. However, who has been bestowed with button-pushing/flip-switching responsibilities and where exactly they do the honors has changed over the years.
In 1923, Coolidge personally lit the first National Christmas Tree. However, he did not give a speech nor did he the following year, although he and his family were on hand for a spirited, open-to-the-public caroling marathon. In 1931, Vice President Charles Curtis assumed tree-lighting responsibilities for a vacationing President Herbert Hoover. Other vice presidents have filled in over the years including Lyndon B. Johnson (1961) and Spiro Agnew (1971 and 1972). Presidential family members such as Amy Carter (1979) and Nancy Reagan (1984) have also either jointly or fully lit the National Christmas Tree alongside or in lieu of the president.
There also have been several instances of presidents illuminating the National Christmas Tree from a remote location. A vacationing President Harry Truman lit the tree by remote control from his home in Missouri from 1948 through 1951 (under pressure from event organizers, he personally lit the tree in 1952). President Ike Eisenhower also remotely lit the tree from his farm in Gettysburg, Pa., in 1955 while recovering from a heart attack. President Ronald Reagan lit the tree from inside or just outside of the White House instead of on the Ellipse throughout his presidency due to security concerns. During the Reagan administration, young children were often invited to the White House to assist with button-pushing duties.
And about those lights …
Starting in 2007, energy-saving LEDs replaced all of the thousands of incandescents traditionally giving the National Christmas Tree its famous sparkle. (LEDs first made a rather minimal appearance five years earlier in 2002.) The issue of energy conservation and the National Christmas Tree, however, goes back several decades. Starting in the mid-1970s, low-wattage incandescents became the standard in response to the ongoing energy crisis. During this period, the tree was only lit for several hours during the evening instead of 24/7 and, in 1973, the branches of the tree itself remained light-free — floodlights placed around the base of the tree indirectly illuminated its decorations.
Although not for energy-conservation reasons, the National Christmas Tree was only partially lit in 1979 and 1980 in response to the Iran hostage crisis. (In 1979, only the giant star atop the tree was lit and, in 1980, the tree was fully lit for only 444 seconds — the number of days Americans were held hostage in Iran.) Although decorated, the tree was also not lit from 1942 through 1945 due to wartime restrictions. In 1963, the National Christmas Tree was indeed lit but delayed several days due to a 30-day period of morning following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Over the years, the lights on the National Christmas Tree have been known to experience occasional technical difficulties. In 1934, President Teddy Roosevelt experienced an awkward moment when he pressed the magic button and the tree did not light until about five seconds later. Whoops. In 1970, the lights on the lower half of the tree began exploding only a few days after the tree was lit. The reason? A liquid fireproofing spray applied to the sockets caused the strings of lights to short. (1970 was a tough year in general for the National Christmas Tree.)
And on the topic of fires: Following 1929's tree-lighting festivities, a fire broke out in the basement of the West Wing of the White House that damaged the Oval Office and other rooms. Hoover and his dinner guests were unharmed by the blaze, and important documents, furniture and other items were saved. Much of the West Wing, however, had to be gutted and rebuilt.
In 1995, the lights on the National Christmas Tree were powered by solar energy for the first time. And by the way, the lights have been donated and designed since GE since 1963.

There was only one global church in the time of Paul, which was started by my Jesus. No matter what locality the churches were in--Galatia, Ephesus, Corinth, etc.--they belonged to the one Acts church. They had one doctrine, faith, church, and sets of leaders, which were apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and teachers, along with the deacons and elders.
At the time, Paul already saw impostors pretending to be disciples but were after dividing the church so they could set up their own churches different from the Acts church and get members from it. They taught things contrary to what Jesus and the apostles taught. Paul did not identify who they were but gave us some hints.
- They caused divisions.
- Put obstacles in the way.
- They taught things contrary to the teaching.
That deception continued to this day. I'm not saying denominations today had already existed then, but the wrong principles managed to continue to our day. They caused divisions. Denominations do that today. Instead of having one Jesus church as our Lord had prayed for in John 17, they maintain separate church denominations with different doctrines. And they fight anything that would completely unite all Christian churches today into one church--they put obstacles in the way. They don't want to give up their disunity.
And maintaining church denominations with separate and different doctrines is teaching things contrary to the teachings the Acts disciples had learned. Paul told the Romans to keep away from them.
But funny, it's different today. If you espouse the complete unity of the church as Jesus prayed for in John 17, and if you say church denominations should be dismantled to give way to the one church of Jesus worldwide, they'd see you as causing divisions, putting obstacles, and teaching contrary to their sound doctrine. And what they mean is, you're causing division in their denominations and breaking the status quo. You're a heretic and their members should keep away from you.
You should be able to see clearly in these last days who are anti-Jesus church and who are pro Jesus' church. Those who are gradually seeing the light in a completely united church as Jesus prayed for in John 17 start to have their denominations unmasked before them and also start looking for the one church which Jesus talked about and which takes after the Acts church, leading to the glorious church of Jesus Christ, without spot or wrinkle or any blemish, but holy and pure. This church alone builds the Kingdom of Jesus Christ on earth.

Just about everywhere you look on the Internet, in newspapers and magazines, and even on TV, you'll see new and innovative products being showered with accolades and awards. As a former lab director at Ziff Davis, I was a part of the testing and reviews engine that hoisted great products onto the pedestal while raking the poorly done ones through the coals. But through it all, it was easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and where, overall, technology was not only failing us but doing so inexcusably.
How do I define "inexcusable?" Inexcusable failures are the ones where we continue to pay a severe penalty in productivity for everyday tasks while the end game (how it should work) is obvious but the path to it is obstructed for reasons that have nothing to do with science. In other words, when you look at all the problems that have so far been solved by technology, it's appalling that some of these simpler issues have yet to be ridden from our lives. I say this knowing that somewhere, these problems are being solved by some solutions provider. Invariably, in response to complaints about one problem or another, I'll get e-mails from vendors who say "We solve that problem" or from the Apple faithful who scream "Get a Mac!" But for one or two companies to have solved the problem isn't good enough. These problems are so blatantly killing the productivity of thousands of people that there's no excuse for them to not have been universally addressed.
When you see my list (which isn't yet up to

Today is an important day for young hockey players all across the American Hockey League. Today is the day teams submit their "Clear Day List" which is the 22-man roster of players allowed to play in the post-season.
Only the players listed on a team's Clear Day roster are allowed to play in whatever games that team has over the rest of the AHL regular season and in the 2012 Calder Cup Playoffs. Players can be added on if emergency conditions come about due to recall, injury or suspension.
What surprises await on the list to be released later today?
Hard to say.
Sean Avery fans are certain to wonder if he will be on the list?" The Answer, probably not.
However, will say Lee Baldwin or Blake Parlett be on the list? Maybe one or maybe even both.
What about Jeff Prough or perhaps another forward from Greenville? Perhaps.
One name the team was hoping they could put on the list, forward Chad Kolarik who has missed this entire season to this point with a knee injury, won't be. Kolarik announced the following on his twitter account, "Cleared for contact, but because I was not on the AHL roster on Feb 27 I cannot play this year. Next goal is to be ready for camp."
One name fans are hoping to see, but almost certainly won't be on it, at least for now, is New York Rangers franchise crown jewel, Chris Kreider. He has not signed yet with the Blueshirts, nor has he signed a Professional Try-Out (PTO) with the Whale. But don't be alarmed. When his college season is over, and it's not yet, that could easily change as those players, along with their counter-parts in Canadian juniors are allowed to be added without an issue.
In terms of the coming Calder Cup playoffs, the American League this season adopted the same format as the NHL for their rankings. The top three division leaders will rank 1,2,3 and then the other five will be seeded accordingly. As you can see below, the Connecticut Whale currently sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference despite being tied in points with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The Whale have played two more games than their intra-state rivals. The two proud franchises mix it up again just three more times this season, all this month. They meet both this and next Friday at the XL Center (7pm starts) and then on Sunday, March 25th (3pm) at the Webster Bank Arena.

The future of skills
Pearson's predictions: the most sought-after jobs and skills of 2030.
- By David Barnett - Managing Director of Pearson Asia Pacific
Pearson commissioned research by the Oxford Martin School and global innovation think tank, Nesta, to determine the nature of employment in the future. In this article we unpack the findings from this research: the occupations and – critically – the skills predicted to experience increased demand by 2030.
Q: What happens when a team of data scientists use machine learning to trawl through massive US and UK jobs datasets?
A: They identify the occupations and skills predicted to be most sought-after by employers in 2030. This in itself isn't novel - it seems like a new report about the future of jobs and the role of automation is published every second week. But the way our research differs is in the number of trends considered in the analysis. Too often the future of work is only viewed through a singular lens: automation. But we applied a few more lenses than that; six more, to be precise. Using what we believe to be the most comprehensive and methodologically ambitious approach to investigating this issue yet, our analysis considered not one, but seven global mega-trends that will influence employment and skills in 2030:
The 'technological change' trend encompasses automation of course, but we made sure to cast its net far further into factors like adoption and diffusion of innovation, as well as the potential for mass job creation provided by technological advancement. What makes our research unique is that the complexities and inter-relatedness of these trends paint an extremely nuanced picture of what it will mean to be a worker in 2030.
Picture in your mind a civil or mechanical engineer. We've chosen this particular occupation because while we don't endorse stereotypes, we're aware that there are some pretty big, preconceived tropes about clever, unsociable nerds with poor communication skills.
Consider these two questions:
Now consider the list of skills and knowledge below:
Does 'Engineer' immediately spring to mind?
It may not – but that's because we're in the year 2018, and the list above outlines the skills and knowledge that will be essential for engineers in 2030.
At first it seems incongruous, but think about it: even if we consider just one trend - urbanisation - it becomes clear that engineers will not just be required to design structures that last, but also, structures that are alive and thriving with purpose.
Social structures that support high-density urban communities in a meaningful and design-oriented way will require engineers to be social architects just as much as experts in form and function. To do this; having knowledge of sociology and anthropology will be essential for human-centred design. But social perceptiveness, and the ability to actively listen and ideate to solve complex problems, such as gentrification for example, will also be critical.
This is the kind of thinking that excites us at Pearson, but it does not come without its challenges. A very central one for us is: how do education systems adapt rapidly enough to re-engineer (pardon the pun) courses to include these emergent skills and knowledge?
2030 is less than 12 years away after all.
Thankfully we can stop agonising about machines taking all our jobs, because, interestingly our research predicts that only one in five workers are in occupations that will shrink. This figure is far lower than those that have come out of previous single-lens studies on automation.
That said, we also forecast that only one in 10 workers are in occupations that are likely to grow, and seven in 10 workers are in jobs where there is greater uncertainty about the future.
The most likely scenario here is that while high-level occupation or role types may remain, the skill mix required within these roles will broaden or, in some cases, change entirely. So no, you probably won't be forced to take your lunch break with R2-D2 or Optimus Prime (which, depending on the way you look at life might be a relief or disappointing).
The image below lists the jobs predicted to be most in demand in the UK and US in 2030.
These lists don't convey anything that is especially surprising. In fact, our data supports other studies that have predicted a boom in care, service, and education related sectors. If you'd like to interrogate our data, and hone in on which roles and occupation types will grow or shrink, Go to https://futureskills.pearson.com/
This is where most research to date ends - at the occupation level. But this is precisely where ours starts to warm up.
It gets really interesting when we zoom in a level and ask: what kinds of skills and abilities will be most in-demand in 2030?
The image below shows the predicted top skills associated with rising occupations in 2030:
There are two main points to consider here:
At the risk of being too simplistic, you could summarise the past few hundred years of human endeavour as 'training humans to be more machine-like'. The 2030 set of trending skills however, requires a very different approach: 'training humans to be more human.'
Currently, our education systems is very good at teaching students information, facts, and processes. Occasionally 'soft-skills' are taught in an ancillary way, but all too often they are neglected. Needless to say, there's a real education challenge ahead.
Our research doesn't just identify a differing skill mix in existing occupation types. It also predicts emergent or entirely new occupations, based on likely clusters identified in the analysis.
Here is one example of a hypothetical occupation that is 'almost certain' to exist in 2030:
Meet Kevin. He's a '100-year life counsellor' with a background in journalism and community college teaching. Unprecedented numbers of people are living to (and past) the age of 100. For these people, navigating the mental, physical, and emotional challenges that come with old age is deeply complex. And this is exactly where people like Kevin will become incredibly valuable.
After losing his job as a newspaper journalist at the Herald Sun, Kevin switched careers and retrained as a community college teacher. He was struck by the growing number of mature students who wanted and needed to re-skill in response to transitions in their lives. He found that skills he had honed over the years as a journalist and then teacher such as social perceptiveness and the ability to convey complex ideas in an understandable way were very useful in advising mature students.
Kevin recognised that this was only the tip of the iceberg. There were many challenges for not just mature aged students but the ageing population in general. Some adjusted, and others needed help.
So Kevin took self-directed training courses in applied philosophy and ethics as well as reflective practices to enrich the advice that he is able to give to clients.
This support has extended to end of life issues which remain among the most traumatic events that individuals and loved ones face. The old adage that there are no atheists in foxholes may be an exaggeration but Kevin has discovered that the search for meaning or purpose or value, remains central to many individuals. This is especially true as the increasingly complex and technical aspects of healthcare have narrowed what services are available. Kevin is proud that his work has gone some way to filling this gap.
Why have we introduced you to Kevin? Because it's critical that conversations about future jobs are given a human face. The future of employment is increasingly human and that poses great challenges for educators and employers alike as they strive to keep ahead of the rapid pace of change.
Pearson is excited to be a part of the conversation.

bandido de calcetín
My mortal enemy is (don don don) the flip flop. Last time mom wore those I was a wee little one and I would chew her newly pedicured toes, but it was a secret ploy to get her into glorious socks! So beware mom and dad....your little sock bandit is on the prowl.
6 comments:
Hi Bellatrix, Sluggo here. I'll have to give those socks a try. Maybe my Mom won't freak out like she does when I turn into~bandido de la ropa interior~ReplyDelete
Hi Bellatrix! I used to love socks when I was a little guy. I would steal them and then play tug-o-war with Mom. Of course I would win and pretty soon I had a huge sock collection.ReplyDelete
I love stinky socks too and also stinky feet. Really anything stinky has my name written all over it.
Stubby xoxo
Sluggo....give it a try socks are so much fun to steal. It's even better when your mom chases you and wants to play tug-of-war.ReplyDelete
Hiya Stubby..thanks for reading my blog! I love stinky socks super much. When mom takes off her Uggs.....that's like a little bit of heaven.ReplyDelete
Hey Bellatrix! I steal socks too...and sometimes grandpa's underwear. Probably a little too much information there. I like the socks that are still on the feet. I will bite the feet until the human gives up and I rip the socks right off their feet. I wait till grandpa's underwear is in the hamper though.ReplyDelete
Not underwear! At least you wait until they are off...your grandpa wouldn't like it if you tried to bite them while he was wearing them. I met your grandpa and I wouldn't want to upset him because he gave me lots of love.ReplyDelete

DAVIE — Jay Cutler isn't really in the mood to talk about his concussion, his days in Denver, or the perception that he's been tentative in the pocket.
But Cutler has been cleared to face his former team on Sunday, and dangerous Von Miller will line up across from him, so asked about it he was.
On Wednesday, a reporter, citing Cutler's recent injuries and Miami's porous offensive line, asked if the quarterback feels "gun shy" or has "happy feet" now.
"I don't think so," Cutler said. "Sounds like a loaded question."
Cutler was asked how he is feeling and said, "I feel good. Thank you." But he said he did not want to "rehash" the play on which he was injured.
Oh, as for Denver, where Cutler began his career in 2006, Cutler told local reporters he didn't really want to talk about it, but acquiesced a bit in a conference call with Colorado media.
"I had a great time," Cutler recalled. "I still have great friends that came out of the experience. Mike Shanahan, being able to play with him the first three years of my career, I couldn't have asked for a better head coach. I think I was very lucky to be able to spend my first three years there."
Cutler was asked how his game has changed and how he's changed as a man.
"Oh, we're getting pretty in depth here," Cutler said. "Well, I've got three kids now, so you're going from a single bachelor playing football to a lot more responsibilities, which makes life fun. My game, I'm a little bit older. I can't move quite as well as I could when I was 23, so you've got to start refining things in the pocket."
Cutler was a Pro Bowler in Denver in 2008, posting 25 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He lost his only previous start against the Broncos, 17-15, in 2015, passing for 265 yards with 0 touchdowns and 1 interception as a Bear.
With the Dolphins, Cutler has a 4-5 record and a passer rating of 82.7, which isn't terribly off from his career record of 72-76 and passer rating of 85.5.
"I think he'll be alright," Dolphins coach Adam Gase said Wednesday. "We just need to have a good week of practice and clean up some stuff, get the timing down, get the ball out on time, get open quick. We have a tough d-line we're going against. Well coached. Relentless. Probably one of the best pass rushers in football (Von Miller), so we've got to make sure it's got to be 11 guys doing their job to make sure we get the ball out on time."
Cutler as asked if he would have left retirement for anyone other than coach Adam Gase, who Cutler also played for in Chicago.
"I don't know," Cutler said.

I didn't expect to like Las Vegas but the truth is I love it, especially when you can 'dig this shoot that'.
Each time I return I find myself enjoying it more but you need to have enough disposable bank roll for this playground. This desert neon city in a basin on the floor of the Mojave Desert runs on the smell of tourism dollars so whether you're out boozing, feeding slot machines, dancing in clubs or seeing a show, Vegas is set up to extract the green from your pocket.
Las Vegas
I used to hang out around The Strip but now I spend most of my time downtown in the original Vegas. There is always loads happening around Fremont Street and sometimes it's nice not to deal with the madness of The Strip when you're not in the mood.
I've always maintained if you can't afford to have a good time in Vegas, then keep saving until you can. Don't dip your toes in because it's just not the city for a sober mini break on a shoestring.
Gone are the days when this city was an escape for unregulated gambling or gambling at all for that matter. In fact, the past couple of times I've been I haven't played the tables at all apart from the odd dollar as I'm passing. I've seen shows, rode the rollercoasters, taken a hot air balloon over the Red Desert, danced in the top clubs and drank cheap beer in dive bars down town. But these are mainly evening events so what is there to do during the day?
dig this shoot that
What is 'Dig This Shoot That' you ask? Well, it's all in the title actually. This is a combination package (booked through Dig This) and quite possibly the most amazing way to spend a day away from the smokey casinos. The morning is spent digging this, or more to the point driving bull dozers and diggers around a compound on the outskirts of Vegas, picking up massive tyres and dropping them off in another area. Then digging gaping holes in the soil and then filling them back up again. Sound like a bit of a pointless task? Well, give it a go and I guarantee it will be the highlight of your trip. Certainly better then pouring your life savings onto a poker table and hoping for the best. Dig this is run by a Kiwi guy who moved to Vegas, he has a slick operation as well as being a nice guy to boot. His business is unsurprisingly called Dig This.
Shoot this is exactly as the name describes, firing a multitude of guns from machine guns to hand held pistols at paper targets in a controlled environment. For someone who had only fired two bullets from a gun in Cambodia before, this was one of the few chances I had to fire off a few rounds and not risk life or limb (mine or anyone else's). They have different packages on offer so if you discover that your aim is better than expected you can opt for a package with more gun options. You can mix it up and shoot first and dig in the afternoon but depends if you want to fire automatic weapons on an empty stomach.
Dig this shoot that isn't your typical day out but nothing about Vegas is (or at least should be) a typical holiday destination. Don't be scared off by the price (US$424) because everything costs money and this is a full day experience.
You don't need a license or previous experience to shoot guns or drive the heavy machinery…what could go wrong right!

"Solvitur Ambulando" – It is solved by walking, 2016 labyrinth walks, The Oratory – Rock Hill SC:
It's 88° at 10:30 AM in the morning. It is muggy.
As I walk into the garden, I realize that it is a very tired garden. I wonder who the tired person is that takes care of the garden. I pray for him or her.
As I walk, I noticed the backside of Mary, figs on the fig tree, the white stones that make up the path, a large oak tree … I hear birds chirping, 11 AM bell and then cascading music; Is the music part of the bells? I do not know the answer. But it must be. I feel the sting of several mosquitoes. And then I hear the traffic. Recently I told someone who has a private labyrinth not to replace the mulch with small pebbles because of the noise they make. This one has really pretty white pebbles, large white pebbles, but again, the noise conflicts with the spiritual walk/meditation. I find myself walking on the boundaries for a reprieve from the noise. But when I walk on the boundaries, I realize that I can now hear the traffic. It's a conflict.
and this from Krista Tippett and Paulo Cuelho:
onbeing"We have this possibility of doing a pilgrimage every single day. Because a pilgrimage implies in meeting different people, in talking to strangers, in paying attention to the omens, and basically being open to life. And, we leave our home to go to work, to go to school, and we have every single day this possibility, this chance of discovering something new. So, the pilgrimage is not for the privileged one who can go to Spain and to France, and walk this 500 miles, but to people who are open to life. A pilgrimage, at the end of the day, is basically get rid of things that you are using, and try something new." — Paulo Coelho
In this week's episode, Krista is in conversation with Brazilian lyricist @PauloCoelho. Listen at onbeing.org.

Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) could be one of the biggest obstacles to passing audit the Fed in the Senate. As a member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Senator Corker has been an outspoken opponent of the Federal Reserve Transparency Act.
Corker recently said: "People say this, audit the Fed, and I don't think they really realize the Fed is audited and what this is really about is Congress getting involved in monetary policy."
However, that's not the case.
The Federal Reserve is not fully audited. The audits that Corker is referring to are very limited in scope and not enough. Auditors at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) are only allowed to look at the Fed's financial statements—not the Fed's monetary policy operations.
According to Campaign for Liberty, auditors are prohibited from law from looking at:
transactions conducted on behalf of or with foreign central banks, foreign governments, and nonprivate international financing organizations
deliberations, decisions, and actions on monetary policy matters, including discount window operations, reserves of member banks, securities credit, interest on deposits, and open market operations
transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee including transactions of the Federal Reserve System Open Market Account; and
those portions of oral, written, telegraphic, or telephonic discussions and communications among or between Members of the Board of Governors, and officers and employees of the Federal Reserve System which deal with topics listed in subparagraphs
That means that the most important decisions at the Fed that affect the American people are decided behind closed

Instead of breathing life into my old blog Building the Perfect Template, I've decided to start new. I plan to kick this blog off by posting some of the content of my AU 2010 class which is intended to reveal the mysteries of Part Builder.
Modeling in Part Builder is not at all like modeling in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Although you have access to the same commands, you are not using arcs, lines, and circles to model a part. All commands are launched from the Content Builder which is the palette that appears on the left after launching Part Builder and then opening or creating a new part.
The workflow for building parts consists of the following phases:
- Define
- Profile
- Constrain
- Dimension
- Apply Modifiers
- Set Parameters
- Validate
- Test Part
- Repeat 2 - 8 for additional part features
Therefore, there will be 9 posts to follow regarding Part Builder on each of the phases above.

Two Years On [Atco, 1971]
This is a little better than the LPs the Gibb brothers came up with during their separation--Cucumber Castle, which at least sold some, and the solo flop Robin's Reign. It does include a bizarre juxtaposition of Jerry Reed imitation and singing strings. But "Lonely Days" sounded more distinctive on the radio than it does among its epigones here--the collective vibrato is turning into a grating affectation. Presumably they broke up because they sensed that the formula was getting stale. To try to re-create it yet again is to guarantee the transformation from good commercial group to bad one. C-
Best of Bee Gees Vol. 2 [RSO, 1973]
What a pathetic comedown--the melodies soggy, the harmonies strained, the lyrics deadly dull. Fifteen songs plus lyric sheet means they're really trying to sell it, too. It'd be a better deal if as many had been hits as the notes imply. I count four top-twenty in four years, which oddly enough is also how many good songs I count, and I'm being lenient. C+
Main Course [RSO, 1975]
At first I was put off by the commercial desperation that induced these chronic fatuosos to turn out their brightest album in many years. But commercial success validated it: "Nights on Broadway" and "Jive Talkin'" turned out to be the kind of fluff that sticks. Sad to say, an unpleasant tension between feigned soulfulness and transparent insincerity still mars most of side two, which does, however, lead off with an undiscovered gem: "All This Making Love," a baroque, frantically mechanical evocation of compulsive sex. B+
Children of the World [RSO, 1976]
Their closed-system commitment to a robot aura renders embarrassing questions about whether they mean what they're singing irrelevant, which is good. Too often, though, their pleasure in artifice doesn't wholly irradiate the rather patchy material. Best hook: Blue Weaver's organ part on "Subway." B
Spirits Having Flown [RSO, 1979]
I admire the perverse riskiness of this music, which neglects disco bounce in favor of demented falsetto abstraction, less love-man than newborn-kitten. And I'm genuinely fond of many small moments of madness here, like the way the three separate multitracked voices echo the phrase "living together." But obsessive ornamentation can't transform a curiosity into inhabitable music, and there's not one song here that equals any on the first side of Saturday Night Fever. B-
Bee Gees Greatest [RSO, 1979]
Not that I don't think "Jive Talkin'" and "Stayin' Alive" are "great," but it's hard to trust a group that leaves such monuments of master-schlock as "To Love Somebody" and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" out of its own pantheon. This is a solid sampler of twenty late-'70s hits and oddities. But I remember. B+

Problems in erection
The ability to have an erection and sustain it for a long time gradually decreases with age. It might take you longer to achieve an erection. Even if full erection is achieved, it lacks firmness. The causes behind it can be psychological or physiological. Pressure to perform can be a dampener to erection.
Tip: Direct physical touch or stimulus can help to get an erection for the man. Continued stimulation and intimacy by the partner will help; rubbing of genitals between the partners can work too. Experiment with different kinds of stimuli, use sex toys as an aid to arouse your partner.
Tip: Reduce stress by talking to your partner, sharing fears and to develop better bonding. The pressure to perform can kill your pleasure and needs to be dealt by calming your nerves.
The inability to achieve and maintain an erection is called impotence. Health conditions such as diabetes, prostate diseases which generally are age related diseases may be a cause behind impotence. Stress, anxiety and depression are psychological causes which affect your sexual health. Many medications of age related diseases can cause impotence.
Tip: Consult an urologist or a sex therapist and get medication.
Tip: Viagra, a prescribed drug for treatment of impotence. Side effects include headache, facial or all over body flushing and indigestion. People with cardiovascular diseases or blood pressure problems should not take them. Consult a doctor.
The urge to ejaculate or have an orgasm may reduce considerably. Ageing can affect quality, quantity and frequency of ejaculations.

Photos: The kings and queens of the jungle; the big grill pan; bon fire
Last Friday was grillfest in kindergarten. It was done in a big party hut located in a clearing in the woods.
We were lucky that the weather cooperated. Most of us were checking the forecast every minute the morning before the barbecue party was supposed to take off -- because the day before, the gloom news was saying it would be a stormy day.
It was a fine day! Most of the kids with their whole families came. Kids got the space around the clearing to play, of course, the playground is already full. MC disappeared with her friends in the woods for a long time; they just come every few minutes, huffing, to report what they saw or most possibly, imagined. Such stories as 'we saw a wild pig, but it run so fast before we could not catch it; we saw some blankets and clothes in one corner and we had to run because juliane, a friend, saw the man holding a sword threatening them, etc.' Amazing how they can create such stories, and they all talked along the same lines, too. Hmmm.
Then we played some games, each group were asked to perform a task. It was another fun time for the kids as the moms and dads had to play with them, too. We had to scour the woods to finish the game. In the end, we needed to create a costume from nature for our chosen king or queen of the jungle.
Then came the farewell program for the pre schoolers. Singing, poem reading, and gift giving; the highlight for me came when it is my turn to sing with the kids three English songs which we practiced together. They turned their happy faces to me, then started to proudly sing and gesture with enthusiasm. I didnt notice that both my kids were also with me in the middle of the performance :-) They wont let me go. But the pre schoolers did great, as they told me, they also practiced at home! I received a small token from the parents of the pre schoolers; but the real gift for me was the words of most of the parent's of this coming year's pre schoolers -- 'it would be great to know that you would be offering this playtime English again in kindergarten.'
Now for my husband, he's also too excited, even a little nervous for me. He's been urging me, since we arrived in the hut, to let him know when the 'greatest performance of my life' would start. He's one preening husband that night :-)

Trinity Farms
63273 260th St
Nevada, IA 50201
Phone: 515.290.0464
"Best eggs I've ever used!!! The colors the yolks add to my dishes are incredible!"
- Chef Nick Illingsworth, The Cheese Shop of Des Moines
Trinity Farms was established in 2011 to learn ways to produce healthy food for our family and enrich our lives with the farming experience. It is our wish to share this life experience with families and individuals from all walks of life thereby enriching the lives of many with a focus on Christ, family, and friends. We want to provide opportunities for upstart farmers to initiate their business plan and dreams. Our goal is to establish a diverse product line that is natural and wholesome with a local customer base and easy distribution.
Steve and Michelle Cassabaum have been married 22 years and have spent the last 18 years in Nevada, Iowa. Their three daughters Emma (21), Elli (18) and Kati (17) keep them busy and they all enjoy the rural community of Nevada. As a physical therapist and principal owners of 21st Century Rehab, Steve and Michelle realized many of their patients needed more than just physical rehab. Our patients needed guidance on other health issues. Most importantly patients needed assistance with choosing healthy food and lifestyles. This realization was a perfect fit for Steve's long time desire to start a niche or hobby farm. Trinity Farms honors our God and Michelle and Steve's earthly fathers that are no longer with us physically. We hope you can experience the love of land with God, family, friends and good food! We invite you to our farm for a visit!

Check out these great clips from Ides of March concert courtesy of Mr. McRae
Guest Post from Assistant Superintendent Cindy Marchand -
Kudos to our musically talented BHS students! Last night, they entertained a standing-room only crowd with yet another excellent musical event. Among the choral offerings was a moving medley from Miss Saigon featuring eight student soloists.
The band's rendition of "Lids" proved entertaining and exciting as students "played" trash cans! This percussion selection rivaled Stomp in the choreography which highlighted the rhythm and use of drum stick variations and trash can drums.
The evening ended with a complex piece, "The Raider Returns," played by the Jazz Band. Burlington students were able to share their talents and make us all proud. Clearly, the expertise of Matt Lovell and John Middleton bring out the best in our students. Well done!

Young Venus? Venus Might Be Geologically Active
Joel Kontinen
An increasing number of observations don't support the standard age of the solar system, i.e, 4.5 billion years. Instead, they seem to indicate a much younger date.
The list of "bad dates" is anything but short. It includes Venus, Saturn, Pluto, Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa, among others.
A recent report posted on Phys.org gives more details about Venus:
"For planetary scientists, Venus's geologic heartbeat flat-lined around 700 million years ago. Now, a global view of some well-known deformation features on Venus's surface may indicate it's capable of crustal motion, and that motion might even be happening today, scientists reported Monday at the 2017 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in New Orleans."
Research presented by Paul Byrne, a planetary geologist at North Carolina State University, and colleagues suggests "signs of deformation within a few of the lava plains."
At least some of the jostling and moving and rotating could have taken place very recently," he says.
While they did not find plate tectonics, they certainly discovered signs of unexpected youth.
Rehm, Jeremy. 2017. Lava-filled blocks on Venus may indicate geological activity. Phys.org (18 December).

May 1 - Geezer (Gage EP)
May 2 - Ten Foot Wizard (ST)
May 3 - Procession (To Reap Heavens Apart)
May 7 - APE MACHINE (Mangled By the Machine) - By this point in the year, the Ripple Music machine was really rolling and it was impossible not to get mangled by it. If this album was just a hefty stoner record of no inconsiderable girth, it would be notable simply for how good it is. But that it was recorded in a single take, front to back with no pauses between songs, makes it an essential listen. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Gun You Down" and "Angry Man". Rating 5/5
May 10 - MAGISTER TEMPLI (Lucifer Leviathan Logos) - Old school metal combined with doom and occult / esoteric references set the foundation for this Norwegian quintet. This was one of the more satisfying and memorable albums of the style released in 2013. Anyway, it`s hard to go wrong with that mix of influences, Magister Templi concocted a killer potion indeed here. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Master of the Temple" and "The Innsmouth Look". Rating 4/5
May 10 - SHALLOW GRAVE (ST) - This Auckland quartet released one of the most addictive albums of the year. It was brutal, sludgy and doomy with droney passages which played out like time spent tied to a chair in a shed or basement waiting for the next round of torture to begin. This album is a rare combination of dark and aggressive. Get it here. Highlights include: "Chemical Fog" and "Nameless Chants". Rating 4.5/5
May 12 - MAMMOTH STORM (Demo 2013) - This apocalyptically heavy trio must have emerged from deep inside a snow filled caldera. One day Mammoth Storm and Salem's Pot are going to tickle fight to see who is Sweden's heaviest band. All us mortals the world over will be destroyed in their convulsive jocularity. No happy endings here, just mass. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Volcanic Winter" and "Ancient Apocalypse". Rating 5/5
May 14 - KADAVAR (Abra Kadavar) - German retro rockin' trio Kadavar's rise was a meteoric one. Within the space of a single year the band went from one that few outside their home territory knew about to releasing a six song album with polyrhythmic structures to being signed by Nuclear Blast and releasing a streamlined straight up hard rock record and becoming everybody's favorite buzz band. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Fire" and "Doomsday Machine". Rating 4.5/5
May 14 - UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS (Mind Control) - UK quartet Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats (named after a band former Cactus vocalist Rusty Day formed shortly before his murder) came out of their shell this year, conducting interviews and releasing promo group shots at the behest of their new label Rise Above Records. They also made their live debut at the Roadburn Festival (!!! [that's some venue for a debut performance]) and later toured the UK with no lesser personages than Black Sabbath themselves. Most importantly they released their third album and all-important follow-up to 2011's terrific 'Blood Lust' which had scored the band significant underground buzz. As always of course, opinions were split on the creative success of the record with the majority falling victim to the album's deadly charisma. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Mt. Abraxas" and "Mind Crawler". Rating 4.5/5
May 15 - CULTURA TRES (Rezando Al Miedo) - South American sludge heroes Cultura Tres had a great year, signing to Devouter Records in late 2012, then successfully touring Europe shortly before releasing this terrific album. Hooky, heavy & haunting, the album took Alice in Chains style harmonies and dragged them through the sludge. 'Rezando al Miedo' was one if the great albums and one of the great creative leaps forward for any band this year. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "La Ley Del Dolor" and "Hole In Your Head". Rating 4.5/5
May 15 - Kings Destroy (A Time of Hunting)
May 17 - Evangelist (Doominicanes)
May 21 - A Pale Horse Named Death (Lay My Soul To Waste)
May 21 - ROTE MARE (The Invocation & The Kingdom) - It's not easy hearing someone pour their guts out on record but when the net results are an airtight split and a stellar pair of full-length albums it becomes a little easier to handle. Sifting through the entrails reveals gem upon gem and any stretching of creativity expands to new heights, never thinning out. Traditional doom never sounded so passionate. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Suicidal Slayer" and "The Thief". Rating 4.5/5
May 24 - Steak (Corned Beef Colossus)
May 24 - Vidunder (ST)
May 27 - BLOOD CEREMONY (The Eldritch Dark) - Canadian quartet Blood Ceremony's much anticipated third album came out of left field with a folk / doom tidal wave of top notch storytelling with more than ample memorable moments to match. A decidedly more colorful record than their previous effort 'Living With The Ancients', 'The Eldritch Dark' has been a mainstay in my Top 10 records of the year since its release. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Goodbye Gemini" and "Witchwood". Rating 4.5/5
May 28 - Age of Taurus (Desperate Souls of Tortured Times)
May 28 - ALICE IN CHAINS (The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here) - Alice in Chains's second album since their 2009 resurrection was simply more of what you've come to expect from the grungy legends. It's a great album, full of hooks and harmonies, big metal poses and faux cowboy ballads. The thing I like about it most is that it exists. Original review here. Get it here. Highlights include: "Stone" and "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here". Rating 4.5/5
May 30 - Witches of God (The Blood of Others)
Best Album From April 2013:
'The Eldritch Dark' by BLOOD CEREMONY
Best Song From April 2013:
"Mind Crawler" by UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS

Let's face it; getting your book into multiple stores is time-consuming. An aggregator of merchandise, ShopJester and its investments had been made possible by critical cell-primarily based heavyweights Bob Pack, Roger Smith, Catherine Chang, Harjit Deo, and Florian Leibert who all have past expertise with corporations like NetZero, Twitter, and Silicon Valley Bank.
Finalists, choosen from over 100 entries, are break up into 10 classes – Best Pure-Play Online Retailer, Best Multichannel Retailer, Best New Online Retailer, Best Use of Technology, Most Innovative Online Retailer, Best Online Retail Marketing Initiative, Best Customer Experience, Best Aggregation Channel, Best Site Optimisation & Design, and the Industry Recognition Award – and characterize among the leading on-line retailers in the nation, with many hailing from the fashion trade.
I would really respect if somebody might information us on what we needs to be looking for in a developers' group with a view to built a Fashion Aggregator like ShopStyle or Net-A-Porter on a smaller scale contemplating that it refers to a smaller market than US or UK.
What's extra, syncing up with all retailer stock programs to make it possible for items are still available in the fitting size and color at any given time is a technical challenge that stops loads of trend app developers from taking this route.
On Wednesday 10th February Javier Rodriguez Zaurin from Styloko shall be becoming a member of us to offer an summary of the totally different techniques used at Styloko, mainly Computer Vision, text mining and Natural Language Processing, and on-line costumer behaviour modelling.

Current e-petitionCommittee Inquiries
Well-known cartoonist Larry Pickering joined forces with the Queensland Parliament to unveil a new range of parliamentary wines.
Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Mike Reynolds, officially launched the Parliament's new range of eight wines at a function on 2nd November.
The newly-launched wine collection includes eight wines within three ranges each linked to the history of the Parliament - the Premier's range (for functions), Speaker's range (reserve wines) and President's range (port).
Within each range, the wines have been named in honour of former office holders in the Queensland Parliament, such as "The Lawmaker" which honours Sir Samuel Griffith, a former Premier of Queensland who authored this state's Criminal Code as well as drafting the Australian Constitution.
The labels contain charicatures of the former Queensland parliamentarians, biographical information as well as educational and historical information.
Larry Pickering, well-known Australian cartoonist, painted seven of the eight charicatures depicted on the labels.
At the launch, Mr Reynolds thanked Mr Pickering for contributing greatly to the project and donating his artworks to the Queensland Parliament for exclusive use on these wine bottles.
Speaker Mike Reynolds said Queensland boasted an impressive range of award winning wines, so having these wines listed on the Queensland Parliament's wine list will help support the continued success of the local wine industry.
Mr Reynolds said the new wine range affords the Parliament the opportunity to engage with wine consumers in a novel way as the labels for the new wine range will contain educational and historical information."Queensland wines were well deserving of a place in the Parliament, so what better way to show off our state's best than by offering them in Parliament."
The wines will be used by the Parliamentary Catering Service, Members of Parliament in their electorates, and sold through the Parliament's website and gift shop.
The Speaker said "The Parliament wants to showcase Queensland wines at our functions and to our visitors, who are often from other states and countries, in order to encourage them to try local wines, thereby creating local jobs and boosting the sale of local wine product nationally and internationally."
