Remember, words matter. This garbage of a president feigns disgust at police killings while with the next breath calls for gun control. Meanwhile in Chicago, the slaughter continues without a word. Sounds like he's a racist to me.
Chicago? That can't be right……They have strict gun control in that city. No guns no violence, correct?
I wonder if there will be a looting safe space in Obama's Presidential Library?
I am still shocked at the audacity to criticize law enforcement in such a broad stroke while standing in Poland.
Let's see Dallas isn't that far from the open Mexican border……..trained military style attack…..I,won't be shocked if ISIS isn't involved……..
After Obama's comments yesterday intimating that the shooting in MN was racially motivated, and the MN governor's like comments, is it any wonder that some nut started killing cops?
It is irresponsible and stupid that public officials make comments like those when there hasn't even been an investigation yet. How the hell do these morons get elected anyway?
Oh yeah, money and connections. It is never about what you know, it's about who you know.
I don't believe a word he says. Exactly where did he and his thugs think BLM was going to take this country? The time to speak out and shut this down was "yesterday".
Looked like he read the remarks.
"We still don't know all the facts."
Policeman are dead. We sure know that.
I admit it – I wonder if this is all to spur gun control.
"Racial disparities in our criminal justice system"
I would like to see the unbiased facts about arrests and criminal behavior. Like Don Lemon, I also say "yes sir" and "no sir" to police offers. And I am an old white woman. But my parents taught me to respect and obey the law and it's officers,
Not knowing the facts before inflicting his biased opinion on us is a major feature of the Obama administration. It serves his purpose to tell us "what happened" before the facts are all known. That's how this dude rolls.
Interesting that we do not know what the cops motivation was in the MN killings, but we definitely know what the cop killer's motivation was in Texas. It's called racism – "I want to kill white people."
How 'bout that Barack? Does it count for anything in your single minded disparagement of white people?
He got what he wanted – payback for the thugs and criminals that died in confrontations with White police.
This is the result of the Dems and the MSM pandering to the thugs and criminals in the Black community.
x2 IMO, this is exactly what he wanted.
Wait, I don't think for a minute he actually wanted the shootings. That's a pretty harsh claim. I do think he's angry that his narrative is compromised, but no more.
Where did Obama think this pitting LEOs and the Black Community against one another, and sending the DOJ in to interfere with local cases going to lead?
He is supposed to be brilliant after all. Surely there is an end game. And it joins nicely with the rabid Democrat anti gun policy which Obama raises at every possible opportunity, even when he is speaking from abroad.
It has been obvious to me for some time that he is NOT brilliant.
We were told he was brilliant by the progressives.
AFVet, no he isn't smart at all. He can't create a complete sentence without his TelePrompTer, just studdering I I I I I I , a a a a a a a a ….
This is it, what he wants. Racial strife to rock the political system is the goal.
First they destroy the middle class into pathetic mooches on the government, then raise up Black racism as if it's rampant throughout the country, then take away White people's firearms to cripple any resistance to the complete takeover of everything.
Don't forget – he is at heart an agitator, a community organizer who thinks America and it's people are too snooty for their own good.
AFVet says:
July 8, 2016, 11:31 am at 11:31 am
brilliant. just threw that in for s and g(s).
"Wait, I don't think for a minute he actually wanted the shootings."
Bullshit. It's exactly what he wanted. He's a community organizer. He WANTS chaos. It's his effin' MO.
Obama may not have desired the event, but he sure as blazes helped create the environment where it could happened. And he's not a bit shy about politicizing the event to serve his disgusting purposes.
He and his transgender wife loved the killings, betcha!
And in the beginning there was a Beer Summit.
July 2009: Cambridge police "acted stupidly."
"Vicious, Calculated, Despicable" Was Dictator Imam Obama describing himself and fellow democrat party communists who are directly responsible for these murders of our police officers. Notice how he also segued into his familiar gun control crap?
Notice also how all of this has pushed Crooked Hillary's crimes out of the media narrative?
This is on the heals of Hillary not being prosecuted and the President's remarks yesterday on police being racists. It all ties together.
"There are no consequences for breaking the law", followed by "cops are bad".
Agree. What do you think is going to happen with these moronic principles? Good people getting dead, that's what.
Oh he knows all about"calculated" alright….everything he does is calculated to destroy this country
Exactly my point regarding the 'beer summit'.
He inserted himself into what should have been a local matter. This was orchestrated from day one.
And as a reminder, now that the Black Lives Matter movement claims responsibility and support for the murders of these police officers, George Soros funds BLM.
Any group or individual who accepts a single penny from any of George Soros's Open Society Foundations has blood on their hands. Here is the list of organizations who accept Soros' blood money.
Wow! Hopefully with all his "giving" that SOB will run out of money.
I'm always of two minds about this matter. If you take the money and do NOT give him any preference, etc., then he has less money and you have more. So he funds something and gets nothing.
I think that qualifies BLM as a terrorist organization, and an enemy of the state. But any rational person already knew that.
Lynchmob, bought and paid for by Bill Clinton like a cheap whore, called for gun control in the aftermath of Dallas and praised BLM for their peaceful protests.
And here are some comments from BLM supporters that Lynchmob has just encouraged and protected.
"Vicious, calculated, and despicable" is what I have thought Obama's comments about police have been over the years. Also, reckless, inciting, and self-serving.
We will never be free of Papa KnowBetter. After leaving office, he will be freer than ever to shovel his patronizing b.s. on us.
The standard The shooter did not identify with any groups and acted alone"
A response:
I think you can draw a direct link from the shooter to Dominique Alexander who organized the protest, to Al Sharpton who runs the parent organization of Alexander's organization, to Obama whose frequent visitor is Sharpton.
But they won't. It will be GUNS! And now, Lynchmob is going to speak. It is unknown whether she will meet with Bill Clinton before doing so.
You built it Obama, own it like the "man" you are!
Obama should know about "viscious and calculated".
And Obama always has to run his mouth about the U.S. when he's in another country, now its Poland. He gets his rocks off that way. No one could talk that dumb about America all the time. He is a true sadist.

Girls – the most fantastic opportunity has come up, and I'm feeling an extreme buzz of excitement just putting this post together. It's an opportunity I feel is tailor made for someone like myself, who lives in a beauty obsessed world and has been carrying out beauty journalism, blogging and make-up artistry for as long as I can remember. So what is this live-breathe-sleep beauty offer up for grabs? Well, for all the beauty fanatics out there, House of Fraser are looking for a beauty ambassador to come on board for 12 months, winning the chance to be involved with HoF beauty blogging, press events, involvement with their offers, new product launches and product news, and having the satisfaction of being involved in the beauty team of by who I would call the beauty department store leaders.
So why me? Why do I feel that I should apply and put myself forward for this incredible opportunity? The best way to try and express my solid love and passion for the beauty industry and HoF is possibly best left in numbered points. So I've showcased my entry below in a blog post – signed, sealed, delivered, and stamped with a lipstick mark and tightly crossed fingers…
1. My Ultimate Beauty Icon
To enter for a chance to become HoF's beauty ambassador, we are asked to share who our ultimate beauty icon is. I know that when asked this question, beautiful icons of past era's come to mind straight away; Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and the sensational Twiggy. My ultimate however, is a more modern day beauty queen. My beauty icon is no other than the naturally stunning Millie Mackintosh, due to her techniques of creating flawless natural beauty. I am a huge lover of natural beauty, using make-up as an enhancer to bring out your natural assets. It's easy to go all over-board with excessive make-up, hair extensions and cosmetic procedures to strive to feel gorgeous, but really, if you use the correct make-up and skincare products, combined with the right diet and lifestyle, natural beauty can be yours. A simple yet striking everyday look can be created by learning how to create a look which simply enhances the lovely features you already have. Take a look at some of Millie's picture perfect 'selfies'…
Groomed eyebrows, a dusky pink lip, flawless foundation, bronzed cheeks and subtle brown hues on the eyes (and lashings of black mascara of course… there is always an excuse for fluttery lashes for day or night!)
There is nothing over-the-top with Millies beauty look – no excessive contouring, no overly long false lashes or clashing of bold brights. She plays on muted neutrals, applied the correct way in the ideal shades to suit her skin tone and eye colour.
So how do I recommend re-creating the look from my overall favourite beauty icon? The first tip I would suggest is conceal conceal conceal. Conceal a multitude of sins and whatever is left. Look at your complexion in the mirror – see those dark circles? See the odd broken capillary? See those enlarged pores and that pesky chin outbreak? Yes you do, because we are real girls and we all have these flaws. Create the perfect natural skin base by concealing first with a heavy duty yet natural finish concealer, such as my favourite one- bareMinerals SPF 20 Correcting Concealer, £21 from House of Fraser …
Once this is applied, you will be able to control how much foundation you apply over this to create your look. You will have already concealed the major flaws, so this should help reduce the amount of foundation layering. I always use MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation, £21.50, which gives a fresh look to the skin. With MAC foundations, they have such a lovely range which work with your skin needs, such as matte finish, dewy finish, or longwear. For a daytime Millie inspired look, I would suggest a light covering of Studio Fix, but if it's an evening look you are going for and need the make-up to stay put a lot longer, then I would highly recommend one of the world's most loved and honoured foundations to date: Estee Lauder Doublewear…
Estee Lauder and MAC both have counters in HoF stores as well as an online presence, so do your research first by looking into coverage and shades before you buy. The products from both these brands are of such a high quality that they will last you for months.
The secret to Millie's glowing complexion is of course a healthy diet, lots of water and exercise, but she also fakes that year round holiday look with a touch of shimmery bronzer. To lightly contour cheeks and illuminate the face, I suggest using the cult beauty product Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze. The five bars of luxury bronzing create an all over glow, and can also be used as individual eye shadows too! For Millie's look, I would suggest using the Shimmer Brick in either the Bronze or Nectar shades, and layering up a subtle smokey brown eye by combining the luminous colours. If you have blue eyes like myself, brown is a sure fire way to make your eyes pop! You can read more about how I use this product here in my previous post.
Last but not least, some key products I recommend to re-create the naturally flawless face of Miss Mackintosh: MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering, Lancome Doll Eyes Mascara, Urban Decay Glide-on Eye Pencil in a soft brown shade such as Hustle, and a natural pink lip with MAC Cherish. To look after skin in order to achieve Millie's healthy look, I recommend optimum result products, such as Origins Checks and Balance Frothy Wash and Kiehls Line Reducing Concentrate – both these products promote clear skin and also aid a great anti-aging help. I purchased both of these from HoF, and you can read more about the Origins brand here, and the Kiehls brand here. For full product info and brand inspiration, take a look at the House of Fraser Make-up Department.
A few other reasons I wanted to note down as to why I am so excited about applying to become a HoF Beautty Ambassador are listed below, just to let you all know a little bit more about me as a beauty blogger and writer. Here goes!
2. My side hobby…
Beauty and make-up have been a passion of mine for so long, and whilst studying at university, I always wished elements of cosmetics and beauty could have somehow been worked into my degree. However, I graduated with a degree in Brand Promotion and Journalism a whopping eight years ago, as I was always a lover of writing. Since graduating, I have built up a career working in-house for brands, and carrying out fashion and beauty writing (and blogging of course!). This lead to the creation of whatemmadid.com in January 2010, in which I have never looked back. The blog gives me the freedom to produce daily beauty features, articles and reviews, and in 2011 I began training in make-up artistry so that I could produce better tutorials and how-to's on the blog, as well as carry out make-up for my friends weddings.
3. Event Involvement
As I do make-up on the side, and try to practice techniques and share my tips as often as I can, I got in touch with a member of House of Fraser earlier this year to give myself the opportunity of running a make-up masterclass in the Manchester store. This was a really scary occasion for me; it meant speaking with a microphone to everyone in store whilst I made-over two of my lovely models with a smokey eye look, and a flawless face look. I love networking so much – speaking to fellow skincare and make-up lovers whilst putting together some tutorials over cupcakes and prosecco is a girls dream, right? The buzz and vibe in a store such as HoF is just the perfect place for people like me to beauty shop! They have a real mix of brands; some premium brands like Creme de la Mer, mixed with more affordable younger brands like Benefit. I wanted to share my love of make-up in with a audience of beauty loving shoppers, also promoting the Beauty Confidential event that HoF were running that particular weekend.
So do you wish to become a HoF Beauty Ambassador too? To enter, put together a blog post highlighting who your beauty icon is and how to re-create the look. Make it as creative as you like! The winner will be chosen from all qualifying entries based on the creativity of the post, the quality of the writing and imagery, the social interactions that the post gains, as well as the quality of the blog overall. You will need to tweet a link of the completed post to @houseoffraser including#HoFBeautyAmbassador and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com along with your name and telephone number by 12pm on Friday 26th June 2015.
All the benefits of winning this title are highlighted over on the HoF website here – so get your entries in everyone! And of course; GOOD LUCK!

Students at Schulze Elementary School will be able to continue their gardening program thanks to a generous donation.
Bexar County Commissioner Sergio "Chico" Rodriguez presented a $1,000 check to Principal Victoria Treviño on Oct. 4 to fund the school's Learn, Grow, Eat & Go! (LGEG) program, an interactive classroom to garden experience.
Schulze Elementary and Texas A&M AgriLife launched the program two years ago, and when Commissioner Rodriguez found out the school wasn't receiving the grant this year, he decided to help.
"As a graduate of Harlandale ISD, this is very important because we didn't have this while I was growing up," Commissioner Rodriguez said. "It was exciting when I was here last year; and when I learned that it wasn't going to continue, I felt like something needed to be done. I'm really excited to come back at the end of the year to see the progress."
The commissioner promised the students a couple of Spurs game tickets to motivate them to do a good job in their garden. He will be back to announce the winners at the end of the school year.
As part of the project, the students will have the opportunity to learn a variety of subjects including nutrition, science, social studies and math. The students will then implement those topics into their gardening activities.
"I love the curriculum that the LGEG program has. It's an amazing program for the students, and it just exposes them to vegetables," Schulze Teacher Andriana Aguilar-Lapoint said. "This is something they'll be doing from Pre-K through fifth grade. We'll be watering and weeding. The kids will have ownership, responsibility and see the lifecycle of the plant."
The garden will also have a variety of herbs including spearmint, oregano and basil, which will allow students to make sensory connections.
"They can touch the plants and say, 'Oh, my gum smells like that' when they smell spearmint," Aguilar-Lapoint added. "We can also extend it into math when they do measurements of the plant's leaves or create a graph of how long it takes for the plant to boom."
Overall, the LGEG program's mission is to grow good kids through an interdisciplinary program that combines academic achievement, gardening, nutrient-dense food experiences, physical activity and school and family engagement.
"I think it's a comprehensive approach to gardening and nutrition, as well as food safety, and I just can't think of a better way for them to increase their vegetable and fruit consumption," Nelda Speller, director for the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Bexar County, said.

IB English IV Written Assignment Practice Essay
Discuss the structure of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. There are parallel plot lines and themes in the novel, and in the film we watched. How do these elements assist in character development? Are these elements necessary?
The plot of a story synthesizes the individual character subplots and subthemes and resonates with the overarching theme. And plot usually stems from character conflict – how do the characters deal with their conflicts and how do those conflicts involve the other characters?
Keep in mind the rhythm of multiple plots and how the story moves as a result.
words to use when discussing plot as a noun: tapestry, pattern, form, shape, color, threading, fabric, blend, braided, woven, entwined, knitted, united, interwoven – as a class, let's come up with more:
plot is also a verb – moves, deepen, motors, teases out, layers, crafts, extends, develops, intensifies, accumulate, accrue, adds, paces – let's come up with more:
Common Writing Errors Noticed!!!!!!
- numbers under 10 must be written as words
- you may start a sentence with a preposition
- avoid passive voice and the verb 'to be' as much as possible
- title not underlined
- we need to learn dashes
- subjunctive mood - the subjunctive mood is the verb form used to express a wish, a suggestion, a command, or a condition that is contrary to fact. A verb in the subjunctive mood may have a different form to one with the same subject which is not in the subjunctive mood.
- I wish it were still in use. Or if I were you, I would... (subjunctive mood - "it was" becomes "it were")
- The board recommended that the motion be passed immediately. (subjunctive mood - "motion is passed" becomes "motion be passed")
- She suggests that Mark work full time from Saturday. (subjunctive mood - "Mark works" becomes "Mark work")
- apposition is a relationship between two or more words or phrases in which the two units are grammatically parallel and have the same referent (e.g., my friend Sue ; the first US president, George Washington)

This simple DIY solution to illuminating tracer BBs works great and uses very few parts, but does require some careful cutting and fitting.
Everything is contained inside a locap magazine – no modifications are made to the gun whatsoever. The magazine can turn the tracer effect on or off at will, so you can fire without revealing your position if you need to.
This is a method of converting an airsoft magazine ("clip" is not the correct term, although it's what most people would call it) to fire "tracers" from an airsoft gun.
In Airsoft, tracers are glowing BBs that are illuminated by a special device before they leave the gun. These devices are pretty cool, but expensive. With tracers, when you fire the gun in low light the shots will look a little like lasers – you will be able to easily see where you are shooting.
You can look at a YouTube video of an off-the-shelf tracer unit here.
What I made is a poor-man's do-it-yourself version that is really quite different than the usual tracer equipment (and to be honest, doesn't work quite as well) but is a heck of a lot cheaper and is in some ways more flexible. If you're still interested, read on.
Tracer BBs are BBs made from glow-in-the-dark material. When this material is "charged" by exposing it to strong light, it glows.
When the glowing BB is fired from the gun, persistence of vision causes it to appear as a streak of light. This is a cool effect, as well as being actually useful when playing airsoft in low light if you want to see where your shots are landing. It's also just plain neat. It looks like shooting a laser beam, and when it ricochets off something it's pretty weird to see.
Tokyo Marui (a popular airsoft manufacturer in Japan) makes a tracer unit that looks like a suppressor (silencer). It's the number one (and pretty much the only) tracer unit out there. It consists of a battery-powered strobe that flashes a flashbulb when an optointerrupter detects a BB has been fired from the barrel. In this way, tracer BBs are lit very strongly as they leave the barrel of the gun. I have one of these. Like most TM stuff, it works great.
At one point, a manufacturer made the B.I.T.S. – or built-in-tracer-system which was a replacement barrel for an Airsoft gun. It had a clear piece through which BBs were illuminated as they were fired. I don't know much more about this one, or even whether they ever made it off the drawing table.
More recently, G&P has made a magazine that illuminates the BBs as they are fed into the gun. This magazine is most similar to this project. However, the G&P magazines are on once inserted into the gun – there is no way to turn it off besides switching magazines. This could be a problem if you want to fire a few non-tracer rounds in a situation where you don't want to reveal your position.
This project of mine most closely resembles that last method. I have not seen any of them, nor do I have details about how they work but I found a simple way to make my own equivalent. It's not loaded with features but it's simple and effective, and nearly anybody with a little technical skill should be able to make their own in one evening or afternoon.
When I made the LED Megalight I was experimenting with Luxeon LEDs for the first time. I was very impressed by their brightness. I tested shining it for just a moment on some glow-in-the-dark tracer BBs and was rewarded by a strong glow. I knew right away I could use such LEDs as the basis of a tracer system built into an airsoft magazine – just have the LED on as the BBs pass through the feed mechanism into the gun, and that should be that!
This isn't a system that illuminates each BB with a single flash as it leaves the muzzle like the Tokyo Marui system. This instead is a high-brightness light that lights up when you press a button. While you are pressing the button (which is on the magazine) BBs pass the light source as you fire and you will as a result fire lit tracers. While the button is not pushed, the tracers will not be lit. You should only press the button WHILE firing tracers – you aren't supposed to always be holding it down. An advantage to this is that if you don't want to shoot lit tracers (which reveal your position), you just don't push down the button.
Please do not use this design to learn anything about electronics and LEDs!
I am misusing and borderline abusing the parts involved – the tradeoff is something extremely simple that just works, and I know what I am doing by putting it together in this way. That means what I'm doing here is not the "proper" way of using batteries and LEDs, and what I have done isn't meant to be used when substituting other parts. By all means use the design I made, but don't pick up any habits from it. This is nothing more than a way that WORKS and FITS. It is not correct design!
You will need some basic tools (a dremel will be handy), and the ability to solder to small things is an asset. If you don't feel comfortable soldering wires to small, fragile pins then you will have trouble with this project.
Like most of my projects, I will provide the details of the concept and construction – but the exact method you use will be up to you, especially if you use a different gun and magazine from what I used. The following worked for me:
- 1x Locap (standard capacity) magazine. I used one for the M16 and haven't tried any others.
- 1x Luxeon III white LED. (Luxeonstar.com supplies Luxeon LEDs.) OR a UV LED (see updates at the end of this page.)
- 1x momentary pushbutton switch – the slimmer the better.
- Batteries for power – I used three CR2032 3V coin cells. They are fairly common and inexpensive.
- Dremel tool, drill, soldering iron, wire, hot glue, etc.
First, remove the magazine insert from the magazine's outside shell. There should be some little tabs visible somewhere that, once released, allow you to slide the plastic part inside of the magazine out. Then uncrew the halves and remove the insides carefully.
Make sure the magazine is unloaded! Then open the plastic housing by unscrewing any screws. Careful not to lose any pieces – the retainer clip near the opening is under spring tension, and the magazine contains one big spring (though it should not be under much tension itself).
Survey the insides. You'll need somewhere to put the batteries and the LED. The LED should be placed as near the opening as possible without interfering with any part of the feed mechanism, including the BB retainer.
The LED will need to shine as directly as possible into the BB feed path, onto the BBs as they sit in the magazine and pass by as they are fed into the gun's mechanism. To do this, an opening needs to be made in the wall of the BB's feed area, and the dome of the LED should be seated in the hole. If you do this properly, the BB's dome will fill the hole you made so that the inside wall remains more or less "smooth" from the BB's perspective and won't cause the BBs to misfeed.
Use a pen or scriber to mark spots to cut out. File, drill, and cut as needed to fit the parts in where you decided they should fit. Go slow and take your time. Measure twice, cut once. And remember you can always cut away more – but you can't undo a cut nearly as easily.
Now cut away enough for your batteries. This should be pretty easy – I don't know about other magazines but there is enough room on the M16's to even put the CR2032 batteries flat against the magazine's insert. Keep in mind that the batteries need to be ACCESSIBLE. You *will* need to change them later, because they won't last very long. So don't plan on anything too permanent.
Once you have some space cut away for the LED, solder a generous length of wire to the LED leads. Use wire that is small enough to not interfere with the placement of the LED or otherwise get in the way. The side of the LED with a little hole in a tab of the lead is the side that goes to the (+). The lead on the other end of the LED goes to (-).
Once that is done, connect the wires briefly to power to make sure the LED comes on. If it does not, check your connections.
That's almost it as far as electrical connections go. The (-) of the LED will go to the (-) of the power, and the button switch will connect the (+) of the LED to the (+) of the power supply. But first we need to put things back together a bit.
Fit the LED with wire leads into the hole you cut for it. You can anchor it in place with some hot glue or super glue, but make sure you don't get any excess into the BB's feed areas. Run the wires to the outside of the magazine insert so you can close it up – cut away some material to make room for the wires if you need to, but be careful not to cut away any part of the magazine that's needed for the BB feeding.
Then close up the magazine, making sure to put the BB retainer back in along with the spring and everything else. I find it easiest to close the magazine halves up around the loose spring – but don't press together the top part completely yet. So you should have about half of the spring (with the follower on the top) sticking out the BB hole. Now push it down into the magazine gently all the way in. Once it's all in there, push the top parts of the halves completely together and screw it all together. Connect power briefly to the wires once more while looking down the BB hole to make sure the LED still comes on, and you are ready for the next step.
With some work and maybe a little drilling or cutting, you can make the switch location and housing as fancy as you want. For mine, I'm happy with something simple and functional (which is good, because I kind of made a mess of it). I'm drilled a hole in the magazine's metal shell and glued the button onto the insert such that when the insert is inside the shell, the hole allows the button to be pushed.
An easy way out: If you desire an easier way to go about it, just run the wires from the LED to the outside of the magazine any way you choose (most magazine shells have a hole in the bottom, which would be a good spot) so you have the insert back in the magazine shell with the wires from the LED hanging out. Then, the batteries and the button switch are connected to those wires on the outside of the magazine. Finally, use some tape to secure the batteries and the button in a convenient spot on the magazine. It's not pretty, and it's not self-contained inside the shell of the magazine, but it's much easier to do and works fine.
There are CR2032 battery holders out there, but you can craft your own or get away with using some tightly-wrapped tape on some stripped and tinned wire ends. Just be careful not to cause a short between the (+) side and the (-) side. Remember – keep in mind that you will need to replace the batteries when they get low, so don't do anything too permanent.
Tuck the batteries and any extra wire into the hole you made to hold them. Press the button to make sure the LED lights (you should be able to look inside and see whether it even comes on).
Don't hold the button down all the time or you'll run out of juice quick. Hold it down when firing and that's it!
If you find the BBs are not glowing enough, make sure the LED is positioned such that the BBs are getting a good, direct hit of the light when they pass by. Also, try firing in semi-auto which makes the BBs move along slower and therefore get a little more light before they get fired.
Here is a video of the construction results, and demonstration that the BBs are successfully glowing as they leave the magazine.
Unfortunately the footage I took of actual firing wasn't well captured by my camera, so to see a real Airsoft tracer in action, take a look at the YouTube video I pointed out earlier.
It seems that UV (Ultraviolet) LEDs are very effective at "charging" items that glow-in-the-dark. If you're making one of these from scratch, it might be worth giving it a shot. I'll try it myself if I make another magazine.

Tuesday Night Tasting - Throwback Brewery: Fat Alberta
Throwback Brewery – North Hampton, NH
Fat Alberta Imperial Stout brewed with Peanuts and Cocoa Nibs
10% ABV, 78 IBU, OG: 1.101, 22 oz and possibly soon on draft
Although both Sarah and I tried Fat Alberta, as well as the full line up of Throwback's beers when we visited Annette and Nicole in March, this was our first try of their beers at home. On our way back through New Hampshire's seacoast on Sunday, we decided it would be fun to stop by Throwback to pick up a few bottles of Fat Alberta, and to our surprise it was PACKED. Little did we know, the brewery was having an actual launch party for the beer that day.
But, on to the review…
The color of this Imperial Stout is a dark espresso toned body, with a thick, fluffy, chocolaty brown head. The head itself fades rather quickly, but is a really nice color! The aroma…well, the scent of roasted peanuts immediately hits your nose, but is pleasantly blended with a rich chocolate aroma. We have to say, it's quite inviting.
The flavor of the stout is of rich dark chocolate covered peanuts. Perhaps the hops (notice the high IBU) help give it the slightly bitterness of dark chocolate, but it's incredibly subtle – fear not if you're not big into a bold hop profile, because this is nowhere near beers like that.
Sarah and I have slightly altered views on the flavor. Sarah says that the Fat Alberta has an earthy, nutty peanut flavor, which is enhanced by the beers dark chocolate flavor. She also says (which I do agree with) that it's rare for a "flavored" stout to taste like what it's supposed to. Southern Tier tends to do a great job at matching their beers to what the label says they're supposed to be. Unfortunately, other brewing companies fall short of doing that.
While I didn't entirely disagree with Sarah's assessment, I thought the peanut flavor to me is creamy like you get with peanut butter. It's not sweet though like in peanut butter, which is probably balanced by the dark roasted malts.
We both thought the mouth feel is moderate to full, but without being too heavy. Most "regular" stouts are rather lighter bodied (despite their color) and low in alcohol, but this is an Imperial Stout and is a bit heavier. Still very nice.
The Fat Alberta Imperial Stout is seductively drinkable. It is incredibly smooth going down, and simply tastes amazing. Be careful though, as the brew clocks in at 10% ABV and can easily sneak up on you. If you're drinking this by yourself, you can probably put down the bomber, but it's also a great beer to share with a friend!

Members of a Chinese "auntie gang" of debt-collectors have been jailed over a reign of grey terror in which they menaced victims and even stripped naked to get them to cough up, state media said on Tuesday.
Fourteen of the senior enforcers received jail sentences of up to 11 years after being convicted of "organising, leading and participating in gangster-like organisations and for their provocative and disturbing behaviour", the Beijing News said.
All told, about 30 women with an average age of 50 -- some of whom had met while engaging in the common elderly Chinese pastime of dancing in public squares -- took part in the scheme in the city of Shangqiu in central Henan province.
The sentences were handed down last month after a four-year spree in which the accused -- hired by a property developer and firms that wanted debts paid -- used strong-arm tactics to collect the money or forced people from their homes to make way for big construction projects.
They would shout at or insult debtors into submission using loudspeakers, and when that did not work they spat at them, reports said.
Some female victims reportedly had their clothes torn off if they resisted, while men said the aggressive aunties would rip off their own clothes to imply they had been sexually assaulted.
One of the ringleaders, a blind woman named Gao Yun, told The Beijing News the nefarious scheme had been a way to kill time and was "something fun to do".
They never resorted to violence and it was only a "war of words", she said, adding that the prime motivation was wages of about 200 yuan ($30) a day plus meals.

Dave McMahon comes up with a handful of intriguing stats each week for Georgiadogs.com, and this week he has a couple that I find particularly interesting.
First, did you realize that Georgia is on a pace to not only set a record for fewest sacks allowed under Mark Richt, but they're likely going to demolish the mark. Georgia has allowed just five sacks all season. The low point for a full year under Richt is 15, which the Dawgs accomplished in both 2001 and 2007.
Even more thought-provoking, however is Dave's breakdown of all-purpose yardage by class:
Seniors: 220
Juniors: 151
Sophomores: 1,645
Freshmen: 817
So freshmen and sophomores are responsible for 87 percent of all the yardage Georgia has gained this season.
That's probably not entirely surprising considering the turnover on offense at the skill positions, but it's also probably a good reminder of why the offense has been so inconsistent. Freshmen and sophomores tend to make a lot more mistakes than juniors and seniors.
Dave has a bunch of other interesting nuggets, so be sure to check them out.

Quitting Smoking with a Green Smoke Electronic Cig
22nd May 20 at 7:14am UTC
How long have you been smoking cigarettes? 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? Or have you lost count? Don't worry because it's irrelevant; the truth is that every single day you've spent smoking has reeked an incredible amount of damage to your body
Cigarette Tobacco For Sale Online
. This damage started from day 1 and has been building since. And it has the potential to obliterate you for good off this planet, which is why I greatly urge that today you start anew by quitting smoking with a Green Smoke electronic cigarette.
For starters, an electronic cigarette is an electrical device that heats raw liquid into a vapor. A vapor is basically 'smoke' without combustion. Since the nicotine is heated without fire or tobacco
Newport Menthol Cigarettes
, it doesn't produce any carcinogens. It's essentially just a water vapor (when heated, water turns into steam or vapor) that also contains a certain amount of nicotine, depending on the brand of electronic cigarette you choose.
Since there is no tobacco, an e-cigarette doesn't really taste the same. It's less harsh, meaning no sore throats. It has no smell, meaning no stink. It doesn't have other nasty chemicals, meaning no second hand smoke or stained teeth. And it doesn't have any carcinogens, which means your risk of dying from lung cancer suddenly goes from about 90% to 1%. Studies haven't shown conclusively that e-cigs are 100% safe from cancer, but I can promise you with every shred of my common sense that they are a whole lot safer.
That said, there are at least 100 different electronic cigarette brands to choose from. Some of the more common manufacturers you may hear about include Green Smoke, Blu Cigs, and NJoy. There are dozens of other brands, but they don't deserve your time and attention because they frankly lack any semblance of quality. Excuse my bluntness, but any e-cigarette kit retailing at your gas station for $19.99 is nothing but trash
Marlboro Cigarettes Website
. Don't trust it; better yet, start shopping at grocery stores instead!
Out of the aforementioned electronic cigarettes
Online Cigarettes Free Shipping
, Green Smoke is the one and only that I personally use. It's more expensive, but for good reason
Buy Cigarettes Online
. It offers better vapor production (some e-cigs barely create any smoke, making the experience extremely unsatisfying), better batteries (longer lasting batteries means you don't have to charge your e-cig as often), and better tasting cartridges (cartridges are what hold the nicotine).
The bottom line is that smokers interested in quitting smoking with an electronic cigarette are more likely to actually quit if they use Green Smoke. This isn't fact, but I'll gladly vouch for it. I've met countless failed e-cigarette smokers who ended up reverting back to their original disgusting habit simply because their e-cig proved uninspiring. It's no surprise, what with the fact that the majority of them opted for a cheaper brand.
Your best bet, if you're serious about quitting smoking, is to start with the Green Smoke Social Smoker starter kit. It's a kit featuring an electronic cigarette (battery and cartridge) and some other goodies like a wall charger and a USB charger. This retails for $109. They also have a Basic Starter Kit for $139. This kit offers a backup battery, which can be useful, though it's certainly not necessary.
If you plan on purchasing a Green Smoke electronic cigarette
Cheapest Marlboro Cigarettes Free Shipping
, then do yourself a favor and save 10% with some Green Smoke coupons. Also, be certain you opt for free shipping. Your order may take one or two extra days to arrive, but it'll save you money.
Well, it's up to you now. I quit smoking with a Green Smoke e-cigarette in December 2010, and I've been feeling great ever since. The only reason I didn't just quit outright is because it was too hard. Plus whenever I tried to quit smoking, I ended up eating a lot and gaining weight. With an electronic cigarette, I can keep on with my habit, except this time around I know that I'm not harming my body. You got to love it!

You Are In Charge
Today's inspiration is a double header
"We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable.
"The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
"And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes."
– Charles Swindoll
author, educator, and radio preacher
"A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that is unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push."
– Ludwig Wittgenstein
philosopher who taught at the University of Cambridge
So Now What?
I like these two quotes together because they ask a simple question:
What if it really was that easy?
What if you really could turn your life around just by pulling rather than pushing? OK, that's a rather weak way of describing how to fix life's problems but what if instead of resisting whatever it is that's going on you use the most powerful tool in your toolbox to deal with it – your way of thinking and feeling about yourself and the world, your attitude.
What if instead of pushing against the past or your situation in the present you use your energy to create an inner state of happiness and peace? Change your inner world and let your outer world conform to the new You.
Will that take some practice, energy, awareness and some new skills on your part? Yes it will. But what if it works? How would your life be different if you could not just survive through life but use the circumstances, situations and challenges in your life to transform and thrive?
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's your life, it's your responsibility.
Start looking for the tools you will need to create this transformation. Books, workshops, get a coach, start a mastermind group. Whatever it takes.

On January 23, 2015 the Critique Compendium's editorial staff interviewed local South Jersey author, Marie Gilbert. I'm sure readers could discern Ms. Gilbert is an author: she answered all the questions in complete sentences. We conducted our discussion via e-mail.
Critique Compendium: They call you the "Steampunk Granny". How did you get that nickname?
Ms. Gilbert: Everybody knows me as Steampunk Granny, but how I originally got the name will require a little trip back to the year 2008. I was working at the Academy of Natural Sciences and my eldest granddaughter, Allie Gilbert, was attending Moore College of Art and Design http://moore.edu/ which is right next door to the museum. Allie was also a part-time cashier in the Academy's gift shop. One day, Allie stopped by the exhibit and invited me to accompany her to a Steampunk Event in Center City. I had no idea what steampunk was, but I would soon learn. Allie dressed me in one of her outfits and off we went to Dorian's Parlor. As soon as I entered the ballroom, I was immediately hooked. I've been attending every event since. http://biffbampop.com/2013/01/01/enter-2013-with-biff-bam-pops-steampunk-granny/
Over time, I made many friends and because my granddaughter and I were always together at these events, her friends began to call me granny. It wasn't until I was asked to take part in a Cabaret/Fashion Show hosted by the owners of Steampunk Works that I introduced as Steampunk Granny.
I have to give James Knipp, my friend and a fellow member of the South Jersey Writers' Group the credit for officially naming me Steampunk Granny. Up until then, I was only using the title when attending Dorian's Parlor, but James gave me the courage to use it all the time. Thank you, James.
Critique Compendium: What inspired you to start writing?
Ms. Gilbert: I grew up in a large Italian family and it was customary for adults and children alike to gather around the dinner table every Sunday at my Grandmother's house. My siblings, cousins and me were entertained for hours with tales of our grandparent's and parent's childhood. The art of storytelling was introduced to me at a very young age. Although I wrote stories as a child, it wasn't until I worked as the manager in the Academy's Changing Exhibit Hall that I began to write seriously.
As part of my job, I was required to do extensive research for each new traveling exhibit that arrived at the hall, then I would write scripts for my staff and volunteers in order to help them explain the sometimes complicated material featured in these traveling exhibits to visitors of all ages. I was also in charge of the diorama carts, and again, had to prepare skits for my volunteers to educate the visitors. I received many awards and compliments on my skits and lesson plans.
I have always loved horror stories from when I was very young. I spent all my free time reading the works of Poe, Jules Verne, Robert Heinlein and H.G. Wells. When I retired from the Academy of Natural Sciences at the end of 2009, I finally had the time to take on two of my favorite passions; writing and ghost investigations. I am an Empath and I do professional investigations.
Critique Compendium: Could you tell me a little about your work?
Ms. Gilbert: A few months after retiring, I begun working on and completed a novel called Beware the Harvesters, but something happened on the way to getting this novel published. The secondary characters began to take over the story, fighting for their rightful place in my imagination and on the page. Roof Oasis was my way of satisfying one of my character's demands to tell her story her way. Alas, this character still holds reign over my story. Book two of my apocalyptic series, Saving Solanda, will be out this summer, followed by two more books.
I love writing about zombies and even though they scare me to death, they are witness to what may come. Can a zombie apocalypse really happen? I feel we're already there. We trudge through life in a daze, behaving like the shuffling dead, doing routine choirs or jobs that deaden our spirits and, we follow blindly instead thinking for ourselves. Scary right, now add to that scenario the long term effects of GMO's on our health; physically and mentally. We are what we eat, and that, my little zombie snacks is the plot for Roof Oasis.
Critique Compendium: What's next for Marie Gilbert?
Ms. Gilbert: What's next for Marie Gilbert aka Steampunk Granny? I want to finish my apocalyptic series, then work on getting my Life with Fred and Lucy memoir published. I have a vampire story called New Home that will be published this year in the Bloody Kisses Press anthology Babes and Beasts and I was published in Chicken Soup for the Soul, Touched by an Angel with a true ghost story called Angel on the Footbridge. I'm still working on a science fiction story called Jack Sprat, the Amazing Adventures of a Slider and, I'm working on a book about a ghost investigation that I took part in last year. http://biffbampop.com/2013/08/08/gilbert-and-the-angry-ghost/
I was recently asked by Independent Director, Chris Eilenstine, to be a writer for his new horror film, Shadows of the Forest. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3264880/ This is my first venture into screenwriting and I'm both honored and very excited to be part of such an amazing team.
Critique Compendium: What advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Ms. Gilbert: The advice that I would give to aspiring authors is the same advice that I give to my nine grandchildren; think outside the box. Educate yourself by reading all types of books, even books that are outside of your comfort area. Think for yourself and don't follow blindly. You can read all the advice columns ever written on how to write that perfect book, but in the end, you need to sit down and write the damn thing.
Make time for writing every day. Make it part of your daily routine. The more you write, the better you'll get. Start a blog and post a story at least once a week. You should blog about people, places and things that you find interesting. If it's interesting to you, believe me, others will also find it interesting. Blogging will also help with your writing skills and, when you complete that best-selling novel, get a good editor. Most importantly, my little zombie snacks, write because you love it, because you can't imagine your life without writing. Do this and the story will fall into place.

Good afternoon! I hope you all are sitting down in a comfy spot, because it is officially time. Time for my brief rundown on the first chapter of The Vaccine Book. If you missed the intro to the book, click here. Otherwise, read on!
***Disclaimer: Everything that is stated in this post came from The Vaccine Book by Robert Sears. I am in the process of reading the book and I am simply sharing as I learn. I strongly recommend doing your own research before deciding if vaccines are right for your child.***
HIB is a bacteria that causes serious illness such as meningitis (infection of the lining of the brain), blood infections, bone infections and pneumonia. It is transmitted like the common cold (through contact with an infected persons cough, mucus or saliva). Usually when a person is exposed to HIB, the bacteria usually stays in the nose, ears or throat and only causes minor cold symptoms. Rarely do they "invade" farther into the body and cause one of the severe infections. But when that happens, it is very serious.
And now I have compiled a list of oh-so-interesting (and important) facts for you.
Please, for my sake, try to contain your excitement. :)
is diagnosed through blood tests or spinal tap. Which is not done unless a person is sick enough to go to the doctor. Therefore it is very difficult to diagnose.
most cases go undiagnosed, so no one really knows what percentage turns serious.
can be caught more than once.
is treatable, but permanent damage can result.
is not common, but it used to be. Only 25 cases are seen each year, almost all occurring in children under the age of five and most in the first two years.
is VERY rare beyond the age of three.
is NOT a live virus vaccine. That means that it does not contain the entire germ, so there is no way to become infected with the disease from the vaccine.
This vaccine has one of the safest side effect profiles. The standard reactions to this vaccine (which occur in about 5% of babies) include fever, fussiness, redness and swelling.
Reasons to get this vaccine:
Meningitis and blood infections are very serious. Although HIB is now extremely rare, continued vaccination keeps the disease out of our population and will help protect your baby from the rare chance he may catch this germ. This shot also has the safest side effect profile of all the vaccines, and the ingredients are very pure compared with those found in most other vaccines.
Some people choose not to get the vaccine because HIB is extremely rare. A breastfed baby who does not attend daycare is at a particularly low risk of catching this illness.
Closing paragraph from Doctor Sears:
"HIB is a bad bug. Fortunately, its also a rare bug, so rare that I haven't seen a single case in ten years. Ongoing use of this vaccine in our country helps keep it that way. The HIB vaccine is one of the very safest we have. The ingredients aren't too strange, and the known side effects are minimal. Since the disease is so rare, HIB isn't the most critical vaccine. But its definitely high on the Top Ten list."
My Opinion:
I could do without this vaccine. Zachariah has had at least two, possibly three doses of it, but I would feel totally fine if he had never received a single does of this vaccine. I do not think it's a bad vaccine, but when I consider the facts (this disease is very rare, he was breastfed and he is not in daycare), I see no NEED for the vaccine for my child.
(Side Note: This is just my brief summary of the HIB vaccine from The Vaccine Book. If you want more information, I strongly recommend reading the book. Doctor Sears includes important information about how the vaccines are made and what ingredients are included. Very interesting stuff.)
Alright. Well that about does it for the HIB vaccine. If you made it this far, feel free to let me know if you have any questions and I will be back next week with my brief run down on another vaccine!

Amazing quality flag that was shipped to me promptly. The design was printed beautifully. Despite the major hell I put my flag through, it's lasted 14 festivals. Honestly wouldn't ever purchase a flag from anyone else!
Shoutout to University Customs for an incredible year of bringing the Anjunafamily Worldwide crew together at so many different shows all around the world! Can't wait to see what 2018 has in store.
Got a flag for my upcoming Panic! At The Disco concert two days from now, and I couldn't be happier with this flag and their customer service. I didn't realize there was an expedited shipping section on their page, but I messaged them to see if I could have my flag shipped asap, and they got it out to me right on time. Fantastic service and flag quality. Next time I need a flag I am definitely coming back!
Got my design made to life and it was exactly what I wanted! Was shipped out after 10 days and arrived to me as said on website. I loved it and am very impressed with this company. I got soooo many compliments (even my favorite DJ Seven lions to sign it!!) Will be referring many people here and ordering a ton more. Thank you so much!
Props to University Customs always making my experiences more memorable and making my flag designs come to life.
University customs has helped me with my flags in the past, offering touch up work and making sure things would be printed smoothly. I still own several of them in excellent condition and would highly recommend them! #postedfromholyshipinthemiddleoftheocean
My experience with University Customs was fantastic. They helped me make my design and were so friendly/helpful. My flag ended up being gorgeous and I got lots of compliments on it.
Just got my custom flags and I AM SO IN LOVE! Thank you so much University Customs! I am super psyched to show these off this festie season!
Been through a ton of flags from different companies and manufacturers, and University Customs is by far the best quality! Loyal customer 4 life baby!!! P.S. Great service as well
I have bought multiple flags from this place and they have always been top quality. Don't order from another sight. This is where you want to get a flag for your group camping at Electric Forest!
I interacted with Ted over email trying to design my flag, and he was very patient with me. It took several emails to correctly explain what I was looking for, and he patiently addressed each design I gave him. At purchase time I messed up my online order, and with all the courtesy and professionalism in the world he straightened it up like a champ for me. Top notch quality and service just in time for the festival season.

Termeh has originally known as a sort of hand weaved colourful textile with special patterns mainly Persian Paisley which was originated in Yazd. Traditionally, the cloth was hand-woven using natural silk and wool fibre.Weaving Termeh is a sensitive, careful and time-consuming work that a good weaver could produce only 25-30 centimetres in a day.
Although nowadays they are not 100% hand made, a good quality Termeh can be woven maximum of 100cm a day and since there are only a few machines for weaving Termeh, it is still an exclusive and costly motif. In Yazd which is the main city for Termeh, there are only 50 weaving machines.These days the material used for weaving Termeh is Rayon (artificial silk). The background colours which are usually jujube red, light red, green, orange and black.Termeh can take the form of fabric, sheets, panels and other shapes and can be used to make a tablecloth, bag, scarf, belt, pillow case, cushion, etc.
Good quality traditional Termeh is part of a family's heirloom in much the same way as are Kashmiri scarves. They are often an article used in Iranian weddings as a floor spreadsheet. Gold and silver threads may be incorporated either into the weave, as part of an embroidered pattern or as a border.In the past, king and riches used brocade Termeh textiles for weaving costly dresses. Also, termeh textile has been gifted as a valuable present from bride family since ancient times.Nowadays Termeh can be used to make a pillow, tablecloth, bag, belt, coverlet, tie, etc.

My son Zach and I went to see Saving Mr. Banks in the theater before the Academy Awards. Just a few weeks ago, Zach and I watched the movie again with Terry. The movie is quite good, if you haven't seen it. I recommend it.
A lot of people think the movie is about the making of the Walt Disney Classic Mary Poppins. To be honest it is the underscore of the movie.
I am not going to ruin the movie for you, so you can keep reading.
P.L.Travers wrote a number of books about Mary Poppins, the magical nanny who comes for a short time to 17 Cherry Tree Lane, to help the Banks family. To help them with their brokenness and failed relationships. In the movie Saving Mr. Banks- the movie is filled with flash backs for P.L Travers and her relationship with her father.
In the movie there is a line " she didn't come to save the children." Very powerful. Because unlike the movie Jesus Christ did come to save the children, to save the moms and dads, the brothers, the sisters, the aunts, the uncles, HE came to save us all. He died for our sins, and asked nothing in return.
You may think I am stretching to tie this movie to Christ coming for us as a magical nanny came to help one family. Go see the movie, rent it from Red Box, buy it at Sam's club- whatever, you will be moved by the brokenness of the characters; you will be swept away in the relationships. Afterward you will look up and thank Jesus Christ for coming to help us, dying on the cross to save us. Amen

text: A new ultrasensitive laser that detects the vibrational frequencies of unique molecules in improvised explosive devices (IED), or roadside bombs, can spot the devices from a distance of 40 feet or more. The weapons are the deadliest threat to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, accounting for about 60 percent of coalition soldiers' deaths. A simulated IED emits a firestorm as soldiers in the Iowa National Guard's 1-133 Infantry Battalion experience the concussion and noise of an explosion during theater immersion training at Camp Shelby, Miss. The Iowa unit rounded out the 1st Brigade, 34th "Red Bull" Division of nearly 4000 soldiers now serving in Iraq. (Image: Department of Defense) The laser has output comparable to that of a simple presentation pointer, and yet it has the sensitivity and selectivity to canvas large areas and detect IEDs. Sensing IEDs in the field is extremely challenging because the environment introduces a large number of chemical compounds that mask the select few molecules that one is trying to detect, said Marcos Dantus, chemistry professor at Michigan State University who lead the research. "Having molecular structure sensitivity is critical for identifying explosives and avoiding unnecessary evacuation of buildings and closing roads due to false alarms," he said. Marcos Dantus, a chemistry professor at Michigan State University, has developed a laser that can detect improvised explosive devices from a distance of 40 feet or more. (Image: MSU) Since IEDs can be found in populated areas, the methods to detect these weapons must be nondestructive. They also must be able to distinguish explosives from vast arrays of similar compounds that can be found in urban environments. This new laser can make these distinctions even for quantities as small as a fraction of a billionth of a gram. The laser beam combines short pulses that kick the molecules and make them vibrate with long pulses that listen and identify the different chords, which include vibrational frequencies that uniquely identify every molecule, much like a fingerprint. The high-sensitivity laser can work in tandem with cameras and allows users to scan questionable areas from a safe distance. "The laser and the method we've developed were originally intended for microscopes, but we were able to adapt and broaden its use to demonstrate its effectiveness for standoff detection of explosives," said Dantus, who hopes to net additional funding to take this laser from the lab into the field. The laser has been shown to work at distances up to about 40 feet, though should be possible at distances of 330 feet. "Beyond that, we need engineers who know how to handle longer distances," Dantus told MSNBC. The research was published in the journal Applied Physics Letters.

Return on Investment
Return on Investment !
The primary objective for a coach is to help an individual become a leader or develop skills and ability to bring the best value possible to the company they work for. Coaching fees depend on various factors such as experience and the level of involvement of the coach.
A coaching contract usually lasts about 6 months, which is the duration necessary to integrate new learning and develop new habits for a permanent change.
If you want to know your ROI, you should consider the role of the individual being coached to determine if the coaching will be beneficial to your organisation.
For instance, a team leader may have a significant impact on the level of satisfaction and motivation of the employees they manage. According to many studies, one of the reasons why people leave an organisation is due to the manager.
If your best employees are leaving, you have to consider the cost of hiring new hires and lost productivity. If you need to replace a key executive due to burnout, you need to contemplate the effect that it will have on your customer service, relationships, events, publications, products, and services.
You can hire a coach as an investment in your future or address a career-limiting problem. Sometimes, a coach is employed to support or improve the performance of employees.
You can also hire a coach when downsising to help the affected employees and ensure that they have the skills and job search materials that will allow them to move forward successfully.
What to Expect from Coaching
Coaching aims to change one's mindset to help them see new pathways. This can be achieved by connecting with the person to be coached and conducting exercises and assessments.
What you need to keep in mind is that a coach doesn't solve problems. What this professional does is help a person find new options, gain clarity and make brave new choices to get different results.
A coach can help organisations improve communication, relationships, prioritisation, and leadership. Communication and relationship problems usually occur due to resistance to having difficult discussions related to alignment with company goals, performance and accountability.
A company cannot cultivate leaders and create strategic plans when motivated board members and competent employees think that their abilities are not being optimised. High staff turnover and executive burnout can also happen when the organisation fail to delegate tasks appropriately.
Coaching can equip a person with skills and proper model for success. They can adopt a new coaching approach in their leadership, which may introduce a coaching culture in the company.
Coaching can help the participant change behaviour and develop new habits that will be beneficial to the organisation.
At the end of the coaching period, you should get the participant to assess his level of success against the coaching outcome. Conduct a performance review discussion where the participant and his or her line manager agree on what he or she has attained.
Once you've measured the results of coaching, create a report and share it with key stakeholders in the organisation like the person who paid for the coaching. The results will help you measure your return on investment.

The thermal processing of 6 minutes and boiling at 100oC gave the best effect of its antioxidant activity of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) rhizome extracts. Whilst the best functional drink was obtained from the combination of 15 mL honey in 25 mL of ginger water extracts. It had the following properties: free radical scavenger activity of 35.51±0.02%; phenolic total of 1.31±0.018 mg/g; and gingerol content of 0.74±0.010 mg/g; taste score of 4.95; colour score of 7.65; and aroma score of 7.4 by the hedonic scale scoring of 1-9. The analysis with GC-MS identified 1-hexadecene (47.81%); hexadecanoic acid (14.25%); and 9-octadecenoic (15.33%) compounds as antioxidant agents. The FTIR analysis showed that CH2 kel. bid. def. vibration at 816.80 cm-1 wave was found for the hexadecene compound, and OH stretch H-bonded at 2944.13 cm-1 wave were found for the hexadecanoic acid and 9-otadecenoic compounds. It was proven that the functional drink produced by the combination of 15 mL honey in 25 mL of ginger water extracts had been organoleptically accepted by the panelists.

Is your number up?
Is your number up?
As illness and injuries can occur at any time, we ask you to ensure your house name or number is clearly visible from the road by day and night, so that, when you need us most, we can find you quickly and easily.
The three following steps would assist us greatly:
- Check your house name or number is visible from the road
- Make sure that there are no trees or bushes obstructing the sign
- Switch on, when possible, an outside light.
Interim Chief Operating Officer John Nichols says: 'It is essential that when the emergency services are called we can find the address as quickly and as easily as possible. We encourage all members of the public to ensure that their house name or number is as visible as possible at all times'.

- This is an adult-oriented community, so please be at least 16 before joining. O_o
- No wanking allowed -- at least not the whiny kind that no one outside of fandom_wank likes. This means no trolling, no flamewars, no character-bashing or any of that other stupid shit. Don't be an asshole plzkthx.
- Community and/or RP pimpage is a no-no. Go to se_rpgads for the latter.
- This is not a community for fanart or digital doujinshi. Share scanned printed matter only, please.

- If an image with a certain warning doesn't appeal to you, for God's sake DON'T CLICK ON IT.
- While this community is mainly for FFVII, I'll probably also sneak in other Final Fantasy games (or maybe even Kingdom Hearts) stuff in, too.
- In the tradition of other scan-sharing communities, we require order. =P All images, regardless of size, must be put underneath an LJ-cut.
