Spooky scary Halloween....skeletons and rats and brains oh my! I love this time of year -- remembering how happy my kids were, how excited, brings back warm and happy memories for me. So today, for the Stamping Queens Sketch Challenge #9, I bring you my spooky skeleton to wish you a Happy Halloween season.
I used the Curled Corners Technique (February 2011 issue) and the Torn Frames (December 2008 issue) from the Technique Junkie Newsletter on my card. After all, it just wouldn't be one of my cards if it didn't have a technique on it, would it?
Make sure you visit the Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge Blog to see the other creations from the other designers -- so much variety and fun! And don't forget, you can play along, too!
Here is the original sketch:
While I deviated a little, the basics are still there...and I love how this turned out. I had to twist the skeleton's arm a bit to convince him to hold up the sign, but the dead aren't phased by things like that!

At one point weighing close to 400 pounds, John Goodman is happy to be sporting a much slimmer and healthier body these days. The 63-year-old star, who can be seen in the highly anticipated "10 Cloverfield Land," has dealt with weight fluctuations for many years. Back in 2010, after losing 100 pounds, he told People that he had given up alcohol, cut sugar from his diet, and was hitting the gym six days a week.
"I know it sounds sappy, but it was a waste," he said of his previous lifestyle. "It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you're going to eat next ... I wanted to live life better."
Last November, fitness guru Mackie Shilstone told the New York Post that Goodman's transformation "didn't happen overnight and has "been an ongoing process." In addition to time on the treadmill and elliptical machine, plus a commitment to walking 10,000-12,000 steps daily, the actor has also embraced a Mediterranean-style eating plan, says Shilstone.
"The Mediterranean diet includes foods and beverages native to the land for which it's named," Martina Cartwright, a registered dietitian, told MNN. "Rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, beans, legumes, a variety of herbs and spices, wine, fish, seafood and olive oil, this meal plan may reduce the risk of heart disease and other inflammatory conditions like arthritis."
Besides the immediate health benefits, research has shown that the Mediterranean diet may also have an impact on our genes, with the potential to add years to a person's life.
For Goodman, developing a total wellness plan and adhering to it religiously made all the difference, his personal trainer says.
"There needs to be strategic planning," Shilstone said. "This time, he really wanted to do it."
Check out a trailer for Goodman's next film, "10 Cloverfield Lane," below:

Hi there. I used the forum search but couldn't find anything there, so if the topic has already been covered you can close this thread. I have been playing regularly on the server "Ballerbude" lately and whenever the map changes to San Cuchillo i get horrible lags, so that normally i have to drop out of the server. Lags seem especially heavy around the church place, most noticeable from the bridge above. I don't have any problem with any other map and my rig, an old P4 3.2 GHz with 2GB ram and an ATi x1950pro should be more than able to run the game without problems. Would be nice if it could get fixed.
I use the latest beta on Windows XP with all the latest patches and drivers and DirectX version
And by the way: how's beta testing progressing? Haven't heard about it in a long time since the last beta came out. Keep it up!

The "Extreme", forth with 6 added models in Saleen's archetypal band up, fabricated its apple admission on the runways of the retired El Toro Airport in Southern California.

When Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, said that the attackers of September 9th 2001 were "America's chicken coming home to roost" he was nailing it. However the chicken are not, as he implied, bearded Islamists but rather Christian right-wing extremists who make up the real shadow government in Europe, that overseas province of the USA, and now also in the homeland as well.
Daniele Ganser has written for Voltaire Network a series of articles in Spanish (most also available in French) on the "stay-behind" network of NATO known popularly as Gladio, it's Italian name.
The work is almost monumental but I will try to synthesize here and in future articles the most essential of it, because it is something that we must all know about, surely more important than electoral politics and the like.
The first article deals with the best known Gladio network and the only properly deserving that name: the Italian one.
|Bologna station after the NATO attack
Between 1969 and 1987, the so-called years of lead, several terrorist massacres against civilians took place in Italy, inspiring fear and serving as pretext to persecute the communists, who were blamed for the attacks (just as they were blamed for the Reichstag fire by the Nazis). Not just the Brigate Rosse were persecuted until their annihilation but many many intellectuals and activists who had no part in armed struggle were as well.
Italy had the belated luck that a judge, Felice Cassone, eventually began investigating the many issues surrounding all these massacres and political attacks. As it became known in the trial, almost 15,000 acts of political violence shattered Italy between those dates, many of them being brutal indiscriminate attacks in which 491 people were killed and 1181 injured.
Cassone indicted one man, Vincenzo Vinciguerra, a fascist member of the secret organization Ordine Nuovo (New Order), who confessed that he enjoyed total protection by a whole well-positioned network in Italy as in other countries.
In the trials, General Giandelio Maletti, former chief of the Italian counter-espionage, declared that not just nearly all the Italian state was involved in Gladio but that every single attack was approved by the White House and the CIA. In his own words:
The CIA, following the orders of their government, wanted to forge an Italian Nationalism able to counter what they considered a slide to the Left and, with that goal, they could use far-right terrorism. (...) One was under the impression that the Americans were willing to do anything to impede that Italy leaned to the Left. (...) Don't forget that it was Nixon who was the head of the government and Nixon was not any common guy, he was a very smart politician but a man of very unorthodox methods.
In 1988 the Italian Senate created a commission to investigate the matter. It was a difficult process, as witnesses did not want to speak, documents were destroyed and the Right sabotaged the investigation all they could. However in 1990 Gladio was confirmed as a very real thing.
However the conscience of this terrorist network existed since long before. In 1974, another judge, Giovanni Tamburino, brought General Vito Miceli, commander of the SID (military secret service, later SISMI) to trial, accused of creating a secret organization that gathered civilians and officers alike, whose goal was to stir an armed insurrection in order to illegally modify the Constitution and the composition of the government.
Miceli, who had also been chief of NATO's Security Bureau, declared in anger:
Did I have a super-SID under my command? Of course! But I did not organize it myself in order to stage a coup, I merely obeyed the orders of the USA and NATO!
|Giulio Andreotti
Sadly Miceli got away on bail and the network remained poorly known until the revelations of quasi-permanent Prime Minister Andreotti in 1990, who acted only on demand of the Senate and in a climate of many investigations, which even put the very godfather of Italian politics in jail for some time. It was the only occasion in which Gladio was revealed in full.
Andreotti edited his first written declaration. However Senator Gualtieri, President of the Commission, had made copies of the original version. When compared, it became obvious that Andreotti had edited all the references to international connections and the existence of Gladio in other states.
It was such a poor trick that in his final version Andreotti admitted that Gladio was a network extending through all NATO, which in Italy was originally agreed between the CIA and the local secret services as a "stay behind" network against possible Soviet invasion.
This cooperation was structured within NATO's Clandestine Planning Committee (CPC), founded in 1959, which was part of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). In 1964 the Italian secret services got incorporated also to the Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC).
However Andreotti's report was in some contradiction with the declarations of Vinciguerra in the sense that the veteran politician claimed that Gladio was not involved in the terrorist attacks. He also declared that every single Prime Minister was informed of the existence of the stay-behind network, causing major embarrassment to the other Prime Ministers of the First Republic. Only the then President Francesco Cossiga acknowledged the fact, declaring his "pride" for contributing to its creation in the 1950s and to be able to keep such a secret for so long.
Subsequent political turbulence forced his resignation in 1992.
Meanwhile Andreotti had confirmed in public audience that Gladio was a NATO structure and that it existed also in other member states, mentioning by name Germany, Greece, Denmark, Belgium and even France.
The Senate Commission concluded that:
Those massacres, those bombings, those military operations were organized, instigated or supported by people who worked for the Italian institutions and, as was discovered more recently, by individuals linked to the US intelligence structures.
Those are the "chickens" who came back "home to roost". Let's not forget that G.W. Bush' administration was almost exactly that of Nixon.

Product Description
Biological product – Biostimulant of plant growth and development based on the naturally occurring bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens var. amyloliquefaciens.
FZB 24 is considered as root growth enhancer that boosts the development of plant root system. The beneficial bacteria

strong and vigorous plant which is capable of better exploiting nutrients and water in the surrounding rhizosphere.
A plant with a strong and well developed root system performs better in and tolerates the adverse climatic conditions
(such as frost, extreme heat or water shortage).
It is suitable for outdoor and indoor crops.

I've created several recipes from the Vegetarian Loved ones Cookbook by Nava Atlas, and most have been hits – tasty, varied, straightforward to prepare, and kid-friendly. I have a ton of vegetarian cookbooks, and right here are some of my favorites: Vegetarian Planet, Didi Emmons The Millennium Cookbook, Eric Tucker (one particular of the fancier ones) Vegetarian Cooking for Absolutely everyone, Deborah Madison (has complicated AND straightforward) Consume More Weigh Less, Dean Ornish Verdura, Viana La Spot (not veg especially,but mainly) Vegetable Heaven, Mollie Katzen Recipes for an Ecological Kitchen, Lorna Sass.
Nearly all cookbook authors now have sites to promote and expand their readership. I found out that it was written by a woman she was a vegetarian way ahead of her time. She took a vegetarian diet program and made the heads of households really feel that they were performing a excellent service for their families by serving vegetables. The vegetarian diet plan, though typically perceived as prepared selection of certain person, is often motivated by well being factors, prevention or necessary want.
No matter whether you want a basic dinner, a quick lunch in between lectures, exam fuel or a slap-up meal to impress your housemates, these easy-to-comply with recipes are created specially for students and consist of all your favourites. Her current-ish comply with-up, Vegetarian Cooking for Every person, is much bigger and relatively high-priced but similarly valuable, and each books are fairly very good on utilizing greens. Hamlyn's straightforward-to-adhere to cookbook helps debunk the myth that vegetarian food takes longer to prepare. More than 100 recipes from the repertoire that has produced Terra a Terre the most talked about vegetarian restaurant in Britain are accompanied by sumptuously taste-bud stimulating food photography by award-wining food photographer Lisa Barber.
There's also tons of supporting material to introduce the reader to diverse ingredients and tactics employed in vegan cooking, producing this a perfect very first serious" vegan cookbook. But there's just some thing so wonderful about curling up on the couch with a excellent cookbook or the Sunday New York Instances. In 1508 the 1st has been let out in the typographical way cookbook in England.
It features specialist suggestions on the very best foods to feed your vegetarian children, and helpful meal planners to help you balance their nutritional needs. When I appear at it realistically, cookbooks will at some point be an on the web factor in the future. The Savory Way is a little shmancier than Vegetarian Cooking for Everybody, but they are both great.

With charitable jewelry, shoes and makeup on offer, it's easy to forget one thing about Breast Cancer Awareness: breasts. Plenty of campaigns are out there to get you to inspect your breasts, but they're also outfitting them in some BCA bras. We've found some of the best, from old standbys and high-fashion lines to a model-fronted line you might not be familiar with just yet. Best of all, each and every purchase donates to a different breast cancer charity, so whatever style you prefer — and which bra you like best — you can be sure that you'll be shopping for a good cause and bringing us all one step closer to finding a cure.
For the third year going, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has proven that her Autograph lingerie collection at Marks & Spencer isn't just a flash in the pan. It's one of the store's best-selling collections. This year, however, RHW decided to go a different route with the campaign in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness. Instead of hiring models or modeling the entire range herself, as she is known to do, she enlisted the help of actual breast cancer survivors. The range, which features BCA pink pieces, even includes a post-surgery bra. Modeled by Marks & Spencer employees, Olympians and more, 10% of purchases will benefit Breast Cancer Now, the U.K.'s largest breast cancer charity.
"I couldn't think of anyone better to model my exclusive designs in support of Breast Cancer Now than these amazing women," says Huntington-Whiteley.
The range includes lace, polka dots and other super-feminine touches. Not in the U.K.? Marks & Spencer does ship overseas, but you can also help via social media. Post a selfie to Instagram or Twitter showing your bra strap — Autograph or not — with the hashtag #showyourstrap and get three friends to do the same. Text "SUPPORT" to 70003 to donate £3; 100% of the donation will go to Breast Cancer Now.

It's rare to hear about a brand offering up 100% of proceeds during Breast Cancer Awareness month, but one of our favorite lingerie lines, Josie Natori, is doing just that. Natori will be donating 100% of proceeds from sales of its Pure Luxe Full Fit Bra in the Rosy Pink/Hot Coral colorway ($70) to Evelyn Lauder's Breast Cancer Research Foundation. While you have to purchase the bra from Natori's boutique in New York City or online at its website for the full donation, it's a great cause to support. The bra is the perfect choice for year-round wear, with delicate lace details and smooth cups, you'll want to replace your entire lingerie drawer with this workhorse bra — and while most T-shirt bras are boring, this one is definitely not. It's practically made to be seen.
Throughout October, Wacoal is partnering with Macy's and other retailers for its Fit For the Cure Events, where $2 will be donated to Susan G. Komen each time someone gets measured and fit for a bra. Over the past 15 years, Wacoal has donated $4 million for research, awareness and treatment and in 2015, the tradition continues. In addition to donating for each fitting — it's always a good idea to get fit for a bra, no matter what month it is — Wacoal will donate an additional $2 for each bra or shapewear piece purchased during the fitting events. To commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the brand is offering its Awareness Bra ($65) with a special ribbon charm at the back. And Wacoal is taking its campaign to social media, too. No, they don't want you to snap your ladies, but before leaving any Fit for the Cure event, take a photo or selfie with the special I Got Fit! sign and post on social media with the hashtag #IGotFit. Wacoal will donate another $1 for every post with the hashtag through November 30, 2015. That's a possible $5 donation just for heading to the mall and getting a new bra.
Find out when Fit For The Cure will be in your are at www.wacoal.com.
Stella McCartney is offering up a set for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, too. This year — the bra-and-knickers set has become a tradition for the Brit — McCartney's Alina Playing set includes a soft-cup bra ($110) as well as a bikini brief ($55) in a bold, bright fuchsia shot through with sexy panels of sheer netting. While lace is often frilly and floral, this set features an unexpected, geometric pattern. That's not the only departure from traditional lingerie; it's a different take on breast cancer pink, too, but we're in love with the flirty, fun attitude of the set. A percentage of proceeds from the sale of each item will be donated to the Linda McCartney Centre in the U.K. and the National Breast Cancer Foundation in the U.S. and Australia to further support research, treatment and technologies for patients with breast cancer.

As I've said, I've been doing this a long time and I see physiological indicators when I am about to get permanent gains. First I notice when my bpfsl increases noticeably but ALSO if it stretches to that new length easily...meaning I don't have to rip my dick from my pubic bone to get the measurement I want. I am now easily stretching to 8.5 inches long and my girth is regularly expanding to 6.5 after my sessions. When the measurements increase and I notice a DECREASE in erection quality then I will back off on PE for up to a week and only edge (tease) with little else. Once I have let my dick rest for that time and start back my erection is 110% and I usually see an increase in my dimensions that is permanent. I'm actually surprised at this latest increase because I thought it would be a few more months, but I think the bigger my dick gets the more it can handle. Anyway, on track for 8.5 x 6.5 by next year.
Currently 8. x 6.25 (whole shaft)

I have a very conditioned penis and can take a lot of force. I use only my hands for erect jelqs, squeezing, ballooning, stretching and edging for long stretches of time without ejaculating. I know some say it doesn't matter but for me it worked unbelievably. Even when I have sex with my wife I will pleasure her and hold off many times.
One exercise I have made up (meaning I haven't read a description of it) is I get a full erection and make the OK grip with my right hand at the base with my "OK" grip reaching as far in to pull the "inner" penis as much as possible. Then I position my left hand with another OK grip as close to my right hand's OK grip and I squeeze them both simultaneously and then rotate each hand in opposite directions slightly (BE VERY CAREFUL!) and it will feel like you are bending your dick at the base and giving it an "indian sunburn" at the same time. Hard to explain but it works. My dick looks like the HULK when I do these.

Sometimes I don't like detailing my methods because I don't want to be responsible for anyone doing permanent damage. If you are a new to this then please do not try this. If I screw up my dick it's my own fault, but I can tell you that when I first began I was no where near the intensity that I can handle now. I think my dick can deflect a bullet at this point.

Contact: Insung S. Choi, KAIST, Daejeon (Republic of Korea)Registered journalists may download the original article here:Biomimetic Encapsulation of Individual Cells with Silica
breakfast egg is a peculiarity of nature: a single cell protected by a
thin mineral layer. Apart from a number of tiny radiolaria and diatoms,
individual cells normally do not have a hard shell. Korean researchers
have now developed a strategy for equipping individual cells of baker's
yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with a synthetic shell made of
silicon dioxide. As the team led by Insung S. Choi reports in the
journal Angewandte Chemie, the lifespan of these coated yeast
cells is tripled, whilst their division is suppressed. The shell also
protects the cells from unfavorable external conditions.

other research efforts previously succeeded in coating yeast cells with
a phosphate mineral layer, individual cells have not previously been
encapsulated in silicon dioxide. Inspired by the natural shell formation
of diatoms, the researchers developed a biomimetic process to coat
individual cells under mild physiological conditions. The surfaces of
diatoms are covered with special long-chain molecules that contain many
positively charged groups of atoms and initiate biomineralization.
researchers imitated this process by equipping the cell membranes of the yeast
cells with synthetic polymers, always alternating layers with many
positive charges and layers with many negative charges -- a total of 21
layers. When the yeast cells that have been treated in this way are
placed in a solution containing negatively charged silicic acid
compounds, these dock onto the outermost positively charged layer of the
yeast shell. There they mineralize to silicon dioxide and completely
encapsulate the yeast cells.
modified yeasts are used to produce important pharmaceutical agents. In
molecular biological research, easily cultivated yeasts are often used
for fundamental investigations of cellular processes and for the
diagnosis of human diseases. The protection and improved shelf life
possible because of the shell could enable new avenues of research. In
addition, the shell could act as a scaffold for the introduction of
modifications to the chemical and biological properties.

In a move demonstrated to have more animation than the average commuter on a London Tube strike day, the Rail Maritime and Transport Union have presented a petition to Downing Street to declare the 27th of December "National Railway Replacement Bus Service Day" in honour of departed Union leader Bob Crow.
On that date, all train users will have to use replacement buses when making a train journey. However, in an effort to be socially responsible, the Union has agreed that passengers can choose exactly where they wish to take their bus replacement service.
For example, a passenger traveling on the East Coast Mainline service could elect to alight at Newark and take a bus to Grantham to await the next onward train to complete their journey.
The current Union leadership, many of them paying mortgages, were delighted with the support from members of the public, who in keeping with with their lack of choice when it come to buying cheap train tickets, will have virtually no choice in the matter.

KITTERY, Maine -- The new Portsmouth Naval Shipyard commander has his mission set for his three-year or so term -- get the shipyard on course for the day when only Virginia-class submarines are serviced at the base.
The U.S. Navy is in the process of replacing the SSN 688 Los Angeles class subs with the SSN 774 Virginia class, and the goal of the shipyard's commander, Capt. David S. Hunt, is to put the shipyard on a trajectory to have all of its dry docks Virginia-class capable when the last 688 is decommissioned.
"We have to set the stage to be a three-dock capability shipyard," Hunt said in a recent interview in his office. "That groundwork will be done during my tour here to set the shipyard up for the future."
The nation's oldest, continuously operating U.S. Navy shipyard has two docks now capable of servicing the nuclear-powered 774s. The shipyard's first Virginia-class engineered overhaul was the USS Virginia (SSN 774). The sub was commissioned in 2004 and arrived at the shipyard in 2010 for its first overhaul. The second, USS New Hampshire (SSN 778), came in last month and has been inducted into Dry Dock 2.
"Following that will be New Mexico (SSN 779), following that, the Virginia will come in," Hunt said. "There will always be two Virginia class from here on out while I'm here."
The shipyard is still expecting to complete five engineered overhauls of the 688 Los Angeles class while it continues the process of decommissioning the nuclear-powered fast attack submarines, which will be complete by 2029, Hunt said.
"At that point, we absolutely have to have a third dry dock that is Virginia-class capable, because that will be the only thing we will be maintaining out here at that point," the Philadelphia native said.
The amount of regular scheduled work has required the shipyard to continue to expand its workforce. It is expected to add 350 more employees this year. The yard's current workforce stands at 5,400 people.
The current fiscal year budget allotted $7.2 million for engineering and design work to construct a super flood basin for Dry Dock 1. "That is the first step in getting some infrastructure built where we can have another dry dock that is Virginia class capable."
Modernizing a shipyard that was established in 1800 is a continuous mission and challenge, Hunt said. There are larger and smaller projects that are a part of an ongoing 30-year modernization plan. "If you haven't modernized a building in 30 years, it's about time to do it," he said.
The shipyard recently completed upgrades to the structural shops. The piping and sheet metals shops are getting an overhaul now. When that's complete, the shipyard has plans to build a new blast and paint facility, Hunt said. The blast and paint facility will take nine facilities and combine them into one.
There is also a project upgrading the water, sewer, electricity and gas utilities at Dry Dock 1 and Berth 11.
"What's amazing about all the construction -- we're doing that as we are overhauling ships," Hunt said. "That is the key to get the shipyard modernized so we don't miss a beat in delivering ships, and that is a challenge."
The shipyard recently completed the replacement of the bridge at the entrance of Gate 1 in the Kittery Foreside. During the replacement, the bridge was always open for shift changes but closed the rest of the time. "It's interesting how that works," he said of the process.
The shipyard is also set to start construction later this year on a new barracks for sailors stationed at the yard during overhauls. The barracks were closed in mid-2015, a month after then-U.S. senator Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., toured the barracks and called them "unacceptable."
Groundbreaking on a new medical clinic is expected to start in the next couple of months as well as work to increase the capacity of the base's child development center.
One item that has no immediate plans for modernization is the former Portsmouth Naval Prison that was used from 1908 to 1974. Over the years, the Navy has solicited request for proposals for a private company to utilize the building, the last of which was in 2015, Hunt said. But none have met both the company's and Navy's needs.
Asked if it's time to give up hope of a restoration of what's been called the Alcatraz of the East, Hunt said, "There's always hope, but you're fighting time. It's a concrete structure."
Hunt assumed command of the base from the former commander, Capt. William C. Greene in July, and became the shipyard's 85th commander. Hunt is not new to the area, as he was assigned to the shipyard from 2010 to 2013 as an engineering and planning officer, and then as an operations officer.
"It was like picking up where I left off," he said about coming back to the shipyard. "But of course it's different because I've moved up."
A fan of the outdoors, Hunt hasn't been able to get much hiking in since he became commander, but he had a chance to ski a few times. "Taking over this job, it's a little busy when you first get started," he said.

If you have hundreds of thousands of songs on your iPod, it really takes time to create playlists. You may want to copy playlists from iPod to iTunes so that you can enjoy songs from the local computer. However, it is not easy to transfer playplist from iPod to iTunes unless you know the trick. No worries. 2 methods are introduced below for you to do the job freely.
2 Ways to Transfer Playlist from iPod to iTunes
1 Copy iPod Playlist to iTunes without iTunes
There is no way to transfer playlist from iPod to iTunes directly. Without iTunes, you need the right tool to make it. You can consider iMyFone TunesMate which is one of the best iTunes alternative. It is an iOS manager that presents efficient ways to manage your iPod activities for music and other file management needs.
It offers an all-in-one solution for you to manage or transfer your playlist or music in an easy way. It is much easy to handle than iTunes. It gives you more free control of your iPod data or iTunes library.
TunesMate provides seamless entertainment with all your music around including:
- Copy playlist and music from iPod to iTunes library
- Transfer part of the music in the playlist to iTunes or computer
- Export music directly from computer to iPod instead of making through iTunes library
- Add or delete new playlist without deleting songs in it
- Manage or transfer purchased and non-purchased music
- Support songs with different formats
- Rebuild iTunes library from unlimited iOS devices
So how can we transfer iPod playlist to iTunes?
You don't have to worry about duplicate as TunesMate will detect all and will avoid them during transfer. There are two ways to transfer your music:
First Method: 1-Click to Transfer All Music in One Playlist
- Link your iPod to computer and go to "Music" from TunesMate's interface.
- All your iPod playlsits will be listed under "PLAYLISTS". Right click a specific playlist and choose "Export to iTunes".
Second Method: Transfer Part of the Music in One Playlist
- Still go to "Music " on TunesMate when your iPod is detected.
- Select a specific playlist from the left and the songs in the playlist will be listed up.
- Check the songs you want to transfer with the playlist and click "Export > Export to iTunes".
2 How to Transfer iPod Playlist to iTunes Library with iTunes
iTunes can be used to transfer your playlist as an alternative approach. However, note that iTunes is with its peculiar trouble, unlike using the TunesMate we just discussed, but you can still find a way of doing it as described below.
Step 1: Launch iTunes on your computer.
Step 2: Tap the icon on the very top left and choose "Show Menu Bar".
Step 3: Connect your iPod to computer and click device icon on iTunes.
Step 4: On the left-side menu, you will see all your iPod playlists. Select a specific playlist.
Step 5: Select "File > Library > Export Playlist" to save your playlist as a text file on your computer.
Step 6: Then go to "File > Library > Import Playlists" from the top.
Step 7: Choose the playlist you saved on computer just now to import playlist to iTunes.
Then you can make it. See, it is more complicated than the way without iTunes. You need to export your playlist from iPod to computer and then import playlist from computer to iTunes. Without these tricks, it is hard for iPod users to figure out how to make it.
|It just needs 2 or 3 steps to transfer playlist from iPod to iTunes.
|It is more complicated to transfer iPod playlist to iTunes with even 7 steps.
|Without tricks, users can easy figure how to make it.
|Without tricks, most users do not know how to transfer playlist.
|You can directly copy playlist from iPod to iTunes.
|No directly. You need to transfer playlist to computer first and then import playlist from computer.
|You can transfer all music or selected music in a playlist.
|Only the playlist will be transferred to iTunes. No songs in the playlist will be copied as well.
|It supports two-way transmission which means you can also transfer iTunes library to iPod.
|It does not support to transfer iTunes playlist to iPod
|It supports to transfer purchased and non-purchased songs.
|It only supports purchased songs.
|You can transfer playlists to the same iTunes with unlimited iOS devices.
|You can transfer playlists to the same iTunes with at large 5 iDevice.

My husband of four years tested positive for CMV, but doctor says the virus is inactive. I tested negative. Is it posibble that I or the baby become infected with CMV when IVF is performed. Is there a way to detect whether the unborn child is infected. Please advise.
When a mother acquires cytomegalovirus infection for the first time during pregnancy, there is a risk of passing the infection to the baby in the womb, with subsequent development of mental retardation and hearing loss in some babies (overall about 15%; especially if infection occurs during the first half of infection). Thus many women understandably worry about contracting CMV for the first time during pregnancy.
CMV is a very common virus. Once it infects an individual, it stays with that individual for life; infected individuals can periodically shed the virus in oral secretions, seminal or cervical fluids, or in urine. Because CMV infection is common, unrecognized exposure to aymptomatic individuals sedding CMV probably occurs quite commonly. Thus, pregnant women who are CMV negative should be especially careful about good hygiene practices (universal precautions and careful hand washing). There are no specific recommendations regarding CMV and discordant couples; IVF may reduce the risk of transmission but I am not aware of any studies addressing this. I would urge you to discuss your concerns with your obstetric care provider, who can monitor your infection status.

The seed was planted for Frederique's Choice while growing up in Holland. It is the country of flowers; not only tulips, but all kinds. They are the largest export of flowers too. During my childhood, flowers were part of my everyday life; there were always fresh flowers around. When I moved for my career as a model to New York I realized flowers were not part of the everyday life here and were much harder to find. I would always try to find flowers when I returned back to New York from the many trips I made as a model. Fast forward to the 2005 when the Dutch government named a flower after me—I had the choice of picking a lily variety, and so that is where the name Frederique's Choice came from. At the same time I was talking to Discovery Channel to do a show for them so I pitched the idea of following the route flowers make.
Tracking the journey how flowers come to us. From bulb to vase. From the fields in Holland, the greenhouses, Africa, the auction right into the vase. This journey inspired me so much and led me to create my own flower company. Combining the love of flowers and my Dutch heritage and all my experiences from the years within the fashion world. There was an open space within the flower industry: An e-commerce platform where you can find beautifully handcrafted bouquets designed by me with a fantastic eco-friendly packaging. Each bouquet comes in a vase and a cool tote which is reusable and multi functional, the tote protects the flowers and if you need to carry it somewhere it's really easy.
Frederique's Choice launched in Holland in end of 2008 and currently deliver to 9 countries in Europe; we just launched in the US in September 2015. Additionally, and very exciting, we also have a tv program called HomeGrown Makeover. I produced the show and hosted together with Carter Oosterhouse. Each show we re do an apartment and also create great ways to show how to integrate flowers and plants into your home.
Why flowers?
Flowers are such an inspiration to me. They make you feel good and have such a positive effect on people. We need to find ways to be kinder and create a better environment overall. (see answer also to first question)
What is your ultimate flower?
The ultimate changes with color and shapes for me. There can't be just one. That's what's so amazing about flowers. One day I can look at a delphinium and see the flowers as butterflies and it takes my breath away. An Orchid, in its amazing intricate look and shape. A Calla Lily so stunning in its simplicity and elegance. A hydrangea with its fullness and color. Scabiosa, a beautiful and dainty feel yet so feminine. Lisianthus, free and springy yet the rose in its grandeur asks respect.
How did it come about that Holland named a lily in your honor?
They named a flower in recognition to my career in fashion. Having been a good ambassador to the Dutch representing Holland in the world of fashion and beauty.
Did you have a hand in The Frederique's Choice Lily?
When they honored me with this amazing distinction I did have a choice. I went to Holland to visit one of the many flower green houses in Holland. The Dutch flower growers always expand the horizons of their flowers and create new breeds of flowers. In the lily greenhouse I was introduced to all kinds of new breeds and made my choice. Albeit the name Frederique's Choice A white lily with a blush of pink in the inside.
May celebrates Mothers. What are your offerings for this year's Mother's Day?
We will have some of our offerings in a link.
In an interview with Zac Posen, he talked about how the women in his life were strong women who propelled him to do and become what he is today. How has your mother (or women in your life) impacted you in your career?
My mother has been a big influence in my life even though I lost her at a very young age, at 17 but her love and believe in me gave me enormous strength. Her strength inspired me to whom I am today. Women have always played a big role in my life. To share your life experiences the ups and downs with other women is very important to me. I think as a woman its very important to do so and surround yourself with other like minded women. I am lucky to have some great female friends. I just wrote a piece about a dear friend, mentor, inspiration and also at times a mother figure, Beatrix Ost. A wise woman who inspires me to go beyond the expected who teaches me that life is a wondrous road that always gets interrupted and that we need to embrace this journey. To be kind and non judgmental. To stand proud as a fierce woman. To be humble and loving. To push the boundaries and stride for the exceptional. To be curious.
Did she (or they) propel you to do what you have done and become what you are today? If so, how?
My mother gave me strength and strangely enough by loosing her so young gave me a certain strength. I knew life would always have ups and downs and that you embrace both. Also I think as women we have vulnerability and being able to share that is a beautiful thing to be able to give and share.
What does motherhood, or being a strong woman, mean to you?
For me motherhood has been one of the greatest gifts. Having my daughter, Scyler made my heart became round again. Being a mom came natural and gives me such joy. Wonderful to be able to give love and care for her. Empower her to be her wonderful self. I'm enjoying each step of the way. Now in her teenage years, 15 is also fantastic seeing her grow into an amazing young woman. I feel so lucky and grateful to have her in my life and I in hers. As I had with my mom we have a very strong bond and also a great friendship. Being a strong mom also means sharing the vulnerabilities some of our weaknesses. Finding a balance in that is key and will help her to navigate her life.
What do you love about being a mother (or a woman)?
For me being mom made me feel full again. Somehow very healing. I also taught me to be more giving and caring, less selfish. Also what you give and you do get back in so many amazing ways. I also love being a woman. I think it's a gift to feel so much and be able to be nurturing. To be able to share this. How we all are, so capable as women. The power we have.
As a mother and a strong woman, what do you want to pass to your daughter?
To be curious, be caring, be humble and kind. To dare and strive to be strong yet vulnerable. To enjoy the ride, the ups and downs. To dream. Dare to fail but do try. Be connected and I mean to people not to that phone or internet all the time.
What do you wish more mothers (or women) passed on?
Spend more time together. Have dinner together, set the table, cook together, communicate.
Do you have any Mother's Day traditions?
Breakfast in bed. Scyler always makes me breakfast and writes me a note a card. A drawing. A nice dinner with the family. She also always gets me flowers on mother's day. Though the other day I came back from a business trip and she gave me flowers. It was so wonderfully unexpected it was so heartfelt and great!
What is your recipe for a great bouquet of flowers?
I think having flowers around is key. All the time not just for mother's day. It makes me feel happy to see the flowers. It makes such a great impact in your home. I love the bouquets I put together they are full of flowers and I like to bind them spirally so when you see them in the vase they open up beautifully but I love almost any flower and putting a few, just the single stems throughout my house—it is a great way of making your home come alive.

Geodon Withdrawal
Geodon withdrawal symptoms can include insomnia, symptoms of schizophrenia, and symptoms of bipolar disorder. To reduce the risk of developing Geodon withdrawal symptoms, your healthcare provider may wean you off the drug slowly when you are stopping the medicine or if you are switching to another medication for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
Geodon® (ziprasidone hydrochloride) is a prescription medication approved to treat schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. As with most medications for mental illnesses, stopping Geodon is not recommended without your healthcare provider's approval. Although Geodon is not addicting and is not likely to be abused, the brain may need time to adjust when you stop using Geodon.
Geodon withdrawal symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
- Insomnia
- Symptoms of schizophrenia (such as hallucinations or delusions)
- Bipolar disorder symptoms (such as mania or depression).
These Geodon withdrawal symptoms may not improve with time, as they may be symptoms of the underlying disorder (schizophrenia or bipolar disorder).
Your healthcare provider may decide to wean you off Geodon slowly to avoid severe withdrawal symptoms, though this may not be necessary in all situations. Even if you are switching to another bipolar disorder or schizophrenia medication, your healthcare provider may still recommend stopping Geodon slowly. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider before stopping Geodon. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you notice any bothersome symptoms after you stop using Geodon.

The story revolves mainly around Naruto Uzumaki`s and Sakura Haruno`s new adventures and their search for Sasuke Uchiha after he left Konoha-gakure (Konoha Village) to gain Orochimaru`s power. The plot also shows a more active Akatsuki in their quest for obtaining all the tailed beasts.
After his failed attempt to retrieve Sasuke, Naruto learns that circumstances have granted him slightly less than three years to prepare for a confrontation with Orochimaru, who has to wait that much time before he can transfer into Sasuke`s body. Naruto also must prepare for his eventual confrontation with Akatsuki, who are after the demon sealed within him. To prepare, Naruto leaves the village and undergoes intensive training under Jiraiya. At the same time, Sakura becomes Tsunade`s apprentice, and Sasuke trains under Orochimaru. Thus, all three members of the original Team 7 are now training under one of the Legendary Sannin.

She's the bus driver in hot water for stopping her shuttle bus and snapping a selfie with comedian Kevin Hart.
Now, Ganesha Douglas is speaking out to INSIDE EDITION about the selfie that could cost her her job.
"Ganesha, what do you think is going to happen to you as a result of taking that selfie?" INSIDE EDITION's Jim Moret asked the driver.
"Honestly, I'm probably going to be terminated," Douglas replied.
Douglas drives a shuttle bus for National Rental Cars. She was making the rounds at Los Angeles International Airport when she spotted Kevin Hart. Douglas says she was so starstruck she actually stopped the bus, got out, and snapped a selfie with her favorite comedian. Then she got back in and apologized to the passengers.
Douglas says National suspended her indefinitely without pay and her union rep told her she will probably be fired.
Moret asked, "What is your biggest concern about losing your job?"
"Not being able to pay my mortgage," said Douglas through tears.
So was getting a celebrity selfie worth all the trouble?
"Do you regret taking that selfie?" she was asked.
"Now I do," concluded Douglas.

Summer Cycle begins June 8 at Livezey Waterfall
The final four performances of the One Year Wissahickon Park Project will take place the next four Sundays, June 8,15, 22, & 29. Performances begin at 10:30AM and run 45 minutes. I want to encourage folks to come out and enjoy the park and the lovely weather and partake in some art as well!
Next Sunday, June 8, we will be performing at Livezey Waterfall. Its a man made waterfall. I believe it was part of one of the mills that used to line the Wissahickon. Its broken and it breaks the gravitational flow of the river into myriad flows and songs. Its a lovely site; the steps make for good seating close to the water.
Directions: Livezey waterfall is off of Forbidden Drive, just north of the Pachella Field entrance (off Henry Ave), or the Mt. Airy Ave entrance (off Wissahickon Ave); and south of the Valley Green entrances. It should take 15 to 20 minutes to walk to the site depending on where you enter. Don't worry about being late. We will be there 45 minutes.
Clothing-- Depending on the day you may want to layer as the park is considerably cooler than the city. You will also probably want to wear sunglasses and/or a hat. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes.
Travel light! Bring only the essentials; bottled water might be a good idea if its a warm day; also insect repellent and sunscrean.
Take advantage of your trip to enjoy the park, take a leisurely walk, or make this a stop on your walking, biking, or jogging program.
Its up to you how you want to engage with the event: stay a long time or leave quickly; go away and come back; see it in passing. Its up to you.
The photos are from previous performances at the site:

According to NT Wrong's newly unveiled ranking system, this was the 29th most popular Biblioblog for October. I'm honored, but also rather skeptical. I'm fairly certain that many, if not all, of those below me actually get more traffic. Oh well, even if a recount reveals massive voter fraud and I'm knocked off the list, I'll take comfort in his disclaimer:
In Biblical Studies the ability to write meaningful pieces that only you and, maybe, one other person in the world understand is the zenith of achievement. The Biblioblog Top 50 is thus no indication of the worth or otherwise of the blogs involved.
But I won't give back the award! ;P

Bretton Woods, New Hampshire is the setting of New Hampshire's largest ski and snowboard resort. It is also home of the Omni Mount Washington Hotel. Together they offer arguably one of the best ski and stay experiences in the East.
If you are looking for a stay in a grand hotel that is over century old, steeped in history, yet well-maintained and cruising wide trails during the day and night the Omni Mount Washington Resort (OMWR) is the place for you.
If Nordic skiing is on your agenda there is easy access to one of the largest cross country ski regions on the East Coast with over 100 kilometers of trails on the OMWR grounds and the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. The trail network crosses open fields, meanders through woods of spruce and fir, passes beaver ponds and mountain streams, and traverses open hardwood stands.
Nordic skiers can even ride the Bethlehem Express detachable quad lift to the Mountain Road, a five-mile Nordic trail located at the Bretton Woods alpine ski area, and enjoy T-bar rides and high elevation groomed Nordic trails at the Mount Stickney Cabin.
Whatever your taste for outdoor adventure at the end of the day one can always return to the Hotel and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or coffee in in the lobby, visit, read or play cards or just enjoy the ambiance of this grand old lady which is the Mount Washington Hotel.

Strictly speaking there is no 'cure' for Type 2 Diabetes. But if you ask the more subtle question, can you reverse the symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes, or can you put Type 2 Diabetes into remission, then the answer is Yes.
You can reverse Type 2 diabetes in three ways:
- By adopting a low Carbohydrate High fat (LCHF) diet.
- You can undergo Bariatric surgery
- By using an extremely low-calorie diet consisting of milkshakes and soups and less than 800 calories a day.
The NHS have announced that they are going to start prescribing low calorie shakes and soups for up to 5000 diabetic and prediabetics to see if this can put their illness into remission.
The idea is that these people would eat or drink these products for up to eight weeks in a bid to lose over two stone and reverse their illness. I have no doubt that this will work if people stick to the plan.
However, my problem with this method is that it does nothing to reduce or redefine the patient's relationship with food. Plus of course at the end of the period they have to start eating real food again after consuming these highly processed products.
In the original trial of 300 people it would have been relatively easy to help and encourage people to stick to the plan as they returned to real food but will that be realistic as it is rolled out to five thousand and then the eventual target number of 200 thousand? I doubt it.
That is why I believe in reversing Type 2 diabetes by eating good real home cooked food full of healthy fats and lacking in starchy carbs like potato, rice, pasta and bread. Eating this way combined with gentle walking means we at Simple as Fat are achieving similar weight loss levels and Type 2 diabetes reversal.
The NHS has been relatively keen to embrace bariatric surgery – or "barbaric" surgery as Dr Zoe Harcombe calls it – and now they are carrying out this extensive trial with Low Cal shakes and soups; but why are they so reluctant to investigate and trial Low Carb High Fat eating plans?
Could it possibly be because there is no product to sell with the LCHF plans? These low Cal shakes and soups are highly processed and are going to be made by Big Food companies like Nestle and Unilever. A cynic would say that these Big Food manufacturers helped create the problem and now they want to sell us the cure?
The bottom line is that to reverse Type 2 Diabetes you need education not more medication and that is why I believe that this Low Cal milkshake starvation experiment is doomed to fail. Dietary guidelines and the Eatwell plate need redrawing to reflect what Low Carb High Fat diets can and are actually doing to change people's lives and dependency on drugs.
Sugar, starchy carbs and highly processed foods are the cause of the Diabesity epidemic and the only way to cure that problem is to cut the amount of these addictive and downright dangerous foods out of all of our diets.
The answer is staring us in the face, the answer and the solution to the Obesity and Type 2 epidemics is Low Carb High Healthy Fat diets.

Seeing a Muslim man and friends praying at Lake Chabot Regional Park, a Castro Valley woman launches an anti-Islamic rant and throws coffee in his face when he starts video-recording her.
A Richmond plumber and self-proclaimed Donald Trump supporter stands outside an Islamic mosque and yells "I'm going to kill you all" as worshippers leave a prayer service.
We're better than that.
As a nation of immigrants, we must find a way to get beyond the bigotry that some politicians have inflamed. With each cry of hatred, we regress into our ugly past as a nation that trampled the land of Native Americans, enslaved African-Americans and interned Japanese-Americans.
With each call for closing our borders, we rekindle the isolationist mentality of the 1930s that allowed us to ignore the crisis in Europe and later turn away Jews trying to flee the Holocaust.
To be sure, we can't police the world nor open our borders without carefully screening those whom we let in. But we must not turn our backs either.
We didn't fully understand the horrors of Nazi Germany until Allied soldiers finally entered the concentration camps. We can't say the same about events unfolding today: We are fully aware of the desperate condition of millions of Syrian refugees.
More than 200,000 people have been killed in the civil war. Civilians are caught in the crossfire. We learned this week of the starvation in Madaya, just an hour's drive from Damascus. Two million have fled the country. Four million have been displaced within it.
We can't absorb all those refugees, nor should we. But we should do our part. Yet, some want to close our borders to Syrians — unless they're Christian Syrians. What bigotry, religious bigotry, no less.
We're better than that.
Or at least I want to believe we are. I want to believe that we have progressed beyond the prejudice of the 1950s and '60s, when I grew up.
I remember the big kid on the playground near our Oakland house who told me to run home because they were rounding up Jews and then laughed when I started to flee. The threat seemed plausible: I knew members of my family were killed during the Holocaust.
My grandfather died in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. My uncle, sent as a young teenager to work in a German munitions facility, was executed when he and others tried to sabotage it. A Christian woman gave my other uncle her dead son's birth certificate so he could hide that he was a Jew.
Using the boy's identity, he fought as a teenager alongside Poles against the Germans. Throughout the war, he feared he would be exposed when he showered. After the war, when the Red Cross reunited him with his mother, he warned her not to let on, for he feared Poles' retribution if they found out he was Jewish.
My father had left Poland before the German invasion. He and my surviving uncle fought for the formation of Israel — displaced people ironically displacing others so they could have a homeland, a story of hope and tragedy that continues to this day — before emigrating to the United States.
My friend Peter Schrag and his parents' refugee path took a very different route. They were German Jews living in Brussels, Peter recounts in "When Europe Was a Prison Camp," a recently released memoir, written by him and his late father.
His father was transported by cattle car to an internment camp in the south of France. During the family's harrowing yearlong ordeal, Peter and his mother, with the help of smugglers and document forgers, eventually reconnected with his father and made their way through Spain to Portugal and eventually New York.
Peter, former editorial page editor of the Sacramento Bee and executive editor of Saturday Review magazine, is 84 now. He never used to talk about his past. Like my father, he wanted to live in this country without fear of being singled out for his origin.
That's what all of us deserve, to be judged for who we are and not demonized for the color of our skin, our ethnicity or the God we do (or don't) believe in.
We're better than that, aren't we?

It is a general misconception that taxes can't be discharged in bankruptcy. While you cannot eliminate all taxes, there is a possibility of discharging some.
In this article, you will know the cases when you are allowed to reduce your tax liability in bankruptcy.
Taxes in Bankruptcy: What You Should Know?
Bankruptcy can provide you relief from the tax debt. How much relief you can get depends on different factors. Some of the factors that determine which taxes can be eliminated include the following.
- Age of taxes — The tax amount due that you wish to discharge must be due at least 3 years before you file for bankruptcy.
- Assessment of taxes — The IRS must have assessed your income tax due at least 240 days before filing for bankruptcy.
- Type of taxes involved — Only income and sales taxes can be discharged in bankruptcy. You cannot discharge other types such as payroll or property taxes when you file for bankruptcy.
- Timely submission of taxes —The tax return for the amount due must have been filed at least 2 years prior to filing a bankruptcy petition.
- Apart from the above rules, you should also note that bankruptcy won't help if a person has tried to evade taxes using a fake social security number or other fraudulent manner in the past. However, this exception applies only to willful evasion of taxes. If a person has made an honest mistake in entering the wrong information, the tax liability can be discharged through bankruptcy.
Another important thing you should note is that you can't eliminate tax lien on your property when you file for bankruptcy. You need to pay the tax lien if you want to sell your property. However, the IRS sometimes agrees to lift the lien. You can request the IRS to lift the lien by filing tax Form 12277.
Final Remarks about Taxes in Bankruptcy
Taxes in bankruptcy is a complex topic. Make sure that you have all tax records before filing. The court will ask you to submit a copy of the most recent tax return.
Getting the help of a bankruptcy lawyer will help you navigate through these complex laws
Attorney Eli Tamkin is a Cleveland bankruptcy lawyer. He has been practicing law since 1989 and in Cleveland Ohio since 1994. Since then, he has dealt with a variety of legal issues, including bankruptcy, real estate, divorce, personal injury, and probate. Many times, answering questions on bankruptcy draws on knowledge of other legal areas as well. His experience in these other areas, as well as in bankruptcy enables him to address your particular needs and to offer you advice that is applicable to your situation.

By The Book
Susan Rice didn't let the door hit her on the way out of the White House. Instead she sent herself an email. It was time stamped 12:15 pm January 21 – the day of President Trump's inauguration. And her self-message recapped a January 5 meeting President Obama held with top staffers.
