The mayor of a New Jersey city slammed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Sunday after the real estate mogul repeatedly claimed that he saw people cheering the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks across the Hudson River from where the Twin Towers fell.
Trump first told the story Saturday at a rally in Birmingham, Ala., as he pressed the need for greater surveillance, including monitoring certain mosques, in the wake of the Paris attacks.
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering," Trump said.
Trump repeated the claim Sunday in an interview on ABC's "This Week" after host George Stephanopoulos explained that police had refuted any such rumors at the time.
"It did happen. I saw it," said Trump. "It was on television. I saw it."
"There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down," he said.
"I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it," he added, "but there were people cheering as that building came down, as those buildings came down. And that tells you something."
A spokeswoman did not respond to a request for clarification Saturday about Trump's comments.
In a statement, Jersey City Mayor Fulop criticized Trump for his statements.
"Trump is plain wrong, and he is shamefully politicizing an emotionally charged issue," said Fulop. "No one in Jersey City cheered on September 11th. We were actually among the first to provide responders to help in lower Manhattan."The Washington Compost "fact-checker" says it didn't happen either.
However, those claims contradict what was in the September 18, 2001 edition of the Washington ComPost. (FreeRepublic)
In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.Screenshot from Washington ComPost website:
Not only that, but the Creeping Sharia website posted something I've heard about a couple of high-rise apartments around Alexandria, VA.
The area also includes two luxury apartment high-rises that erupted into cheers when the World Trade Center fell on 9/11. Law enforcement has dubbed them the "Taliban Towers." Investigators routinely find posters and computer screen savers celebrating Osama bin Laden as a hero.
Down the street is a Saudi charitable front for al-Qaida once run by bin Laden's nephew. The U.S. branch of the dangerous Muslim Brotherhood is in the same office park. Farther down in Alexandria is the Saudi madrassa (MIM note: Islamic Saudi Academy) that's graduated several terrorists, including the al-Qaida operative who plotted to assassinate President Bush.
But apparently, everyone who saw it must have imagined it, according to the gatekeepers of information.

Whale Beach
|Sydney, Australia

Whale Beach is a gorgeous beach on the ocean side of the Barrenjoey peninsula. Surfers love this beach for its reliable break. There is an ocean swimming pool on the southern end. Lush Norfolk pines frame the beach where the golden-pink sand begins. The rich and famous live in mansions on the narrow, winding streets that curve up above the beach. Because Whale Beach is accessible only by winding roads, it has a private, secluded feel.
For an inspiring view over Pittwater, drive to nearby McKay Reserve Lookout, just minutes from Whale Beach.
If you're hungry after your play in the sun, head over to Avalon Parade Shops for a tasty sausage roll at Batch Patisserie! I'd do it right now if I could!!

Whale Beach is on the ocean side of the Barrenjoey peninsula, south of Palm Beach. From Barrenjoey Rd, turn toward the ocean on Whale Beach Rd. Turn right on The Strand, which leads down to the beach.
You can't get a bus directly here. You must take the L90 bus from the city to Avalon and then transfer to bus 193 to Whale Beach.

From Plainfield, Connecticut, USA:
My 19-year-old daughter would like to take a four week class in Spain through her college. I am concerned about her counting carbohydrates in unfamiliar foods. Are the typical meals there much different than those in the U.S.? Do you know of any English language literature available on carbohydrate counting in Spain and do you have any advice?
This is a good question. It certainly is important to plan for meals and foods that your daughter might come across in a foreign country. I would recommend that both of you meet with a registered dietitian who specializes in diabetes meal planning and come up with a game plan on types of food you might encounter in Spain and the accurate carbohydrate counts of these foods. It is better to pre-plan for this rather than waiting until she is over in Spain where the carbohydrate counts might not be readily accessible.
Your dietitian can also recommend some good reference guides for carbohydrate counting on various ethnic foods.
[Editor's comment:
You might also want to speak to the Spanish language teachers at your local high school(s) and college(s) to get an idea of the foods available in Spain. You should tell them where your daughter would be living as the foods could differ from region to region.BH]

Basically, a proxy server is another computer which acts as an intermediary between client (e.g. your computer) and the remote server, which client is accessing to. Using a proxy server, your computer sends requests to the proxy server instead of the desired destination, proxy server processes your request and returns what you were wanting.
Proxy servers are used for a number of reasons such as to go around various online restrictions, like a content blocking, request limit and more, and to provide anonymous browsing. The reasons to use a proxy server can be a lot, consider the most common of them.
Anonymous access to Internet resources. High anonymous, Anonymous and Distorting proxy servers allow to access different network resources anonymously, including web surfing, email sending, playing online games or communicating with instant messengers, without revealing your real IP address.
Checking resource availability from around the world. Using proxy servers from different countries, you can perform an availability test of your Internet site from different locations (ISP, networks etc.) to diagnose network connectivity problems.
Speed up network resources access. The proxy server may speed up your access to some Internet resource due to its caching mechanism (if someone has requested this resource earlier) and/or its fast connection speed and physical closeness to the requested resource.
Bypass online blocks. Using a proxy server, it is possible to gain access to the resource that you cannot access directly for any reason, such as if your IP banned on the remote server, if requested resource is blocked by your ISP or network administrator, or due to networking connectivity problems.
There are several types of proxy servers, each of which has its own possibilities.
HTTP is Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and as the name implies, HTTP proxy servers only support the HTTP protocol (80 port) and more often are suitable for web browsing and downloading files. From the viewpoint of anonymity, depending on the content of an HTTP headers proxy server sending, HTTP proxy servers are divided into:
The server to which you are connecting through a High Anonymous (a.k.a. Elite or Level 1) proxy server cannot determine your real IP address, and will not be able to determine that you are using a proxy;
The server to which you are connecting through an Anonymous (a.k.a. Level 2) proxy server, knows that you are using a proxy, but cannot identify your real IP address;
The server to which you are connecting through a Distorting proxy server, knows that you are using a proxy, and may see a part of your real IP address, modified in some way by Distorting proxy server;
The server to which you are connecting through a Transparent (a.k.a. Level 3) proxy server, knows that you are using a proxy, and able to determine your real IP address;
Warning Sometimes it happens that the same proxy may work on different protocols, that provides different anonymity levels. For example, same proxy may be a transparent using HTTP protocol and a high anonymous using HTTPS (CONNECT method). To provide the anonymity level specified for the proxy server in our service, be sure to work with proxy using the specified protocol.
HTTPS is Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Security Socket Layer (HTTP over SSL). It's similar to an HTTP proxy server, but the difference is HTTPS proxy server supports HTTP CONNECT method, which makes possible to create an HTTP tunneling by connecting to any port of the destination server. This makes HTTPS proxy suitable for surfing web sites over secure SSL connection and using with many network applications like email clients, instant messengers and more. HTTPS proxy servers may be used in chains, raising client anonymity level.
Through SOCKS proxy can work almost any network application, you can use a SOCKS proxy to work with your email, FTP, SSH client or instant messenger. SOCKS proxy servers are always anonymous, because not tied to high-level protocols and don't modify request headers. SOCKS proxy may support different versions of the protocol SOCKS4, SOCKS4a and SOCKS5. Like HTTPS proxy, SOCKS proxy servers may work in chains.
A CGI (Common Gateway Interface) proxy appears to a user as a web page that allows the user to access a different site through it, in most cases anonymously. CGI proxy servers are often called as «Web proxy» or «Anonimizer». Web proxy is very easy to use, there is no need to change browser settings to use it. Most of Web proxy servers are supported SSL sites browsing. Web proxy servers may be used in chains.
If you're using an anonymous proxy to access some resource, this resource will determine proxy IP as a remote client address, instead of yours. And often, proxy connection IP address is the same, as an outbound IP, determined by a resource, accessed through the proxy.
Cascading proxy acts as a middle man between the real proxy server and your computer, so its connection and outbound IP's are different. One cascading proxy server can serve multiple ports, connection to each of them will result a connection to the real proxy server with different outbound IP, which may be even from different countries.
Notice For cascading proxies our service is determining the location based on an outbound, not connection IP.
Not all proxy servers are suitable for use with all the resources and protocols. The wrong choice of proxy servers for a specific task can lead to uncomfortable work or even to the failure with achievement of the expected result. The following recommendations will help to significantly improve the efficiency of work with proxy.
Choose proxy servers with only unique IP's to perform multiple requests to the same resource. Many Internet resources temporarily block the IP addresses which abnormally large number of requests are coming from. This happens, for example, when checking the sites positions in search engines. However, many proxy servers are cascading, i.e. connection IP address of such proxies is not equal to the outbound IP. It often happens that a group of cascading proxy servers with different connection IP addresses has the same outbound IP. If this outbound IP will be blocked at the target resource, all requests via other proxy servers with the same outbound IP will be blocked too. It is possible to avoid such situation, choosing proxy servers with only unique IP addresses. You may choose proxy servers with only unique outbound IP's by checking «Only unique IP» checkbox in proxy filter.
Exclude HTTP proxies to operate over a secure HTTPS connections. If you want to work with a resource that works only over secure HTTPS protocol (eg https://google.com), select only HTTPS and/or SOCKS proxy. Ordinary HTTP proxy servers, without the support of CONNECT method will not work.
Exclude Chinese proxy servers to access blocked in China resources. China is a traditional source of a large number of proxies, their part within the total number of available on our service proxy servers may exceed 50%. However, at the present time, China's limited access to some resources due to censorship (for example, Instagram.com , Gmail.com and Twitter.com are blocked in China at the moment). Before you start, check if the target resource blocked in China. You can do it on this website. And, if the target resource is blocked - exclude Chinese proxy servers with our proxy filter.
When working in a browser, choose the long-lived proxies. According to our statistics, the lifetime of the most proxy servers is less than an hour. Any proxy may die at any time. However, you can reduce the probability of this event, by choosing a proxy server with uptime more than 1 hour, by filling our proxy filter «Uptime» field. The more uptime the less chance of sudden proxy death.
No. Although anonymous proxy servers do not pass the IP address of the client, however, client information may be transferred by means of JavaScript, ActiveX or Cookies. Proxy servers may logging their work, storing all information passed through, including confidential data such as logins and passwords. Proxy servers can be controlled by hackers or security services, or even created by them intentionally to intercept the traffic.
It is possible to use multiple anonymous proxy servers at the same time in a chain. You may use as many proxy servers as you can or want. The more you use, the more anonymous you will be, but you should remember, it doesn't matter how many proxies you chain together, you will never be 100% anonymous.
The example of proxy chaining illustrated in the picture above. Connection to a remote server performed sequentially from one proxy server to another. To create a proxy chain, the user should first connect to Proxy1. Once the user is connected to Proxy1, from Proxy1, the user will connect to Proxy2, from Proxy2, the user will connect to Proxy3, from Proxy3, the user will then connect to the intended destination. All together we have 3 proxy servers chained in this example.
If any proxy in the chain dies whole chain stop working.
Proxy judge is a script, hosted on a web server, that indicates request HTTP headers, depending on which content determining the anonymity level of proxy server, proxy judge is accessed through. Choosing a fast proxy judge, that properly passes HTTP-headers and the remote address, is an important part of the proxy checking software setup. You may choose one from our actual proxy judges list.

Rose essential oil benefits are as valuable as the product itself. Notororiously one of the most expensive oils on the market, every drop is pure gold.
Table of Contents
Healing Properties of Rose Oil
Roses are every bit as delightful and hopeful as they are depicted. Swedish chefs have added rose hips to soup as a centuries-old delicacy. Rose flower water has permeated culinary and folk medicine practice as long as we have had the ability to distill it – over a thousand years!
"An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it makes a better soup."
~ H.L. Mencken, A Book of Burlesques
Roses are so frequently associated with idealism. We wear rose-colored glasses when we want to avoid the truth. A rosy disposition is unreasonably cheerful. The idioms don't originate with roses, of course – rose tinted glasses actually helped roosters not to fight! – yet there they are, circling back to this lovely flowering perennial family.
The scent of roses evoke memories and emotions associated with young love and evening strolls through the garden. How many of us remember the first time we ate a rose? I do. It was awkward and I was uncertain – flowers are ornamental! Of course, you wouldn't walk through a random garden (and certainly not a nursery or flower shop!) to pick a rose for dinner, but the organic, edible petals were pleasantly delicious. Why had I never done this before?
Later, rose essential oil hit my radar and I was fully hooked. You see, more than their beautiful blossoms and sweet smell, roses are a life-giving source of nutrients and healing.
Distilled from Rosa damascena petals, rose essential oil carries a myriad of chemical compounds that bring wellness and healing to the body. Just some of the properties include:
- Citronellol – Known for its contribution to citronella, its most popular feature is as an effective mosquito repellant.
- Geraniol – the powerhouse phytochemical that makes geranium and thyme so healing.
- Citronellyl Acetate -This is where roses get their pleasant aroma, and is a key component of beauty products and fragrances.
- Nerol – Hops and lemongrass also boast this antibiotic with a gentle, sweet aroma.
- Eugenol – Found most richly in clove essential oil, which is likely the most powerful antioxidant substance in existence.
- Farnesol – A safe and natural pesticide, farnesol is found in ylang ylang, jasmine, and orange blossoms as well as rose essential oil.
- Methyleugenol – A component of lemon balm and cinnamon, it has local antiseptic and anesthetic effects.
With so many well-studied compounds contained in these delicate petals, it is little wonder that rose is so beneficial! Rosa damascena reportedly contains the most of these chemicals compared with other rose varieties, as well as a stronger fragrance.
How wonderful is our God to place such rich and powerful healing effects in a beautiful and fragrant package! With the most attractive flowers and fragrances emerging as some of the most beneficial, just think of all the good that colorful, fragrant, and beautiful fruits, vegetables, and edible flowers can impart in your diet! The abundant life is a lovely one, and rose essential oil you experience it by addressing these 3 health concerns.

1. Depression & Mood Support
The first example that comes to mind when describing rose essential oil's effects would be its interaction with depression. Imagine struggling against a dampened mood, faltering mental state, or all out depression. Now place yourself in our ancient ancestors' shoes, with nature more readily accessible, and the wild sights and sounds of flowers surround you. Are you drawn to the flowers? Do you inhale the fragrance and take the moment in, a twinkle in your eye? Like magic, some of that heavy load begins to life.
Better than magic, it's science!
The draw to beautiful flowers and fragrances went under the figurative microscope as published by the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice. Clinical tests of nearly thirty women in a postpartum stage of life treated half of them with a rose and lavender oil aromatherapy treatment. They followed this practice twice weekly for a month, while the control group did not. Remarkably, postnatal depression was lessened in the rose group, as well as a lower occurrence of anxiety! (1)
Application: Place room diffuser by your bed, and enjoy 5 drops each of lavender and rose essential oils before bed. Rest, and allow the therapeutic benefits to work as you sleep.

2. Antimicrobial Benefits & Skin Health
Really, multiple components of rose essential oil make it ideal for skin treatments. Chinese researchers in 2010 pinpointed an excellent reason to include a few drops in DIY lotions and creams. In their studies, they found rose essential oil to contain some of the most potent antibacterial effects out of ten essential oils evaluated. After five minutes at just 0.25% dilution, rose essential oil was able to completely destroy the bacteria that causes acne (P. acnes). (2)
More evidence of rose's benefits for the skin emerged from Germany, also in 2010, not for what it could eliminate but for what it could create. Researchers explained that, "For substances applied in rose oil a clear relationship between their lipophilic character, chemical structure, and skin permeation could be confirmed." (3)
In other words, rose helps to drive substances into your skin, increasing permeability and carrying with it whatever it contains. For natural preparations, this is an excellent trait. For toxin-laden commercial products that happen to include Rosa damascena, you may be ushering the worst right into your body!
Application: Truly clear acne by dabbing one drop of diluted rose essential oil onto blemishes when they arise, continuing three times a day until it is gone. For safe application, use a sterile cotton swab, and dilute to .5% with a bit of coconut oil or other preferred carrier oil.
3. Relaxation & Heightened Libido
Bringing rose oil home may be more romantic than the roses themselves. As an effective anti-anxiety oil, stress and anxiety related sexual dysfunction may be relieved with rose essential oil. According to a study published in the journal Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment that evaluated the effectiveness of various treatments have on SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction (SSRI-I SD) for men with major depressive disorder (MDD),
"This double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled clinical trial showed that the administration of R. damascena oil ameliorates sexual dysfunction in male patients suffering from both MDD and SSRI-I SD. Further, the symptoms of depression reduced as sexual dysfunction improved!" (4)
Application: Planning a lovely evening with your spouse? Use the bedside room diffuser for two drops each of rose, sandalwood, jasmine and ylang-ylang. OR, to take things up a notch, place the oils in almond or jojoba carrier oils and gift your partner with a massage. The massage will be heightened by the healing, relaxing, and sensual fragrances.

Hey guys,
Just be clear, we went to Saratoga. Not Sarasota. Which is, unfortunately, what I mentioned to our friend Jimmy who used to live in Sarasota. Jim was so excited for us that he wrote back a long email filled with suggestions of places to visit. Top on that list for me would have been the 10th floor window of the County Administration Building (AKA his former office). Oh well, some other time perhaps. And, thanks again Jim. Really sorry about that.
In any case, here are some photos I took of our recent journey to upstate New York.
First, there was this dog who reminded me of our niece Enzo. Very cute dog. It was rainy drive but it wasn't a long drive by Iowa standards.
And this is the view from our room. As I've already mentioned to some of you, that "Farmers Market" sign is a Pokéstop. So, that was cool. Honestly, how does anyone get anything done in their life when they live so close to a Pokéstop? It was an endless supply of 'mons, ammo and battery for my cell phone. I really got wrapped up in that stupid game.
And, because Saratoga is such a tourist mecca in mid-April, Chris was able to score us a King Suite for literally ten bucks more than the conference rate. The room was big, I'll give it that, but it seemed as if it were missing some of its furniture. It was sparse.
Here's Chris watching Rachel Maddow on the TV.
And here is Chris trying to read the on-screen channel guide on the TV. Fortunately, I'd thought to bring the binoculars.
Anyway, enough about the room. It was fun and lovely. And if it had been warmer we probably would have sat on its balcony.
Here's a view of a couple of old hotels along the main drag. The city is not big. It might be about the size of Northampton.
Did I mention the cold? It flurried on and off the entire time we were there. And it was windy. But, better than rain or drizzle I guess.
Saratoga was first settled by white people in the late 1700's. In 1792 its first spring was found and that's when things started to take off. It became a summer destination for Southerners moneyed enough to escape the heat of the south. [Note: The first spring was Congress Spring, not Columbian Spring, but I don't have a photo of Congress Spring. I do have a photo of Columbian Spring. Columbian Spring is now plumbed with treated city water.]
In 1832, the springs and spas garnered so many visitors that the town got a train stop. And in 1847 Saratoga hosted the New York State Fair. Enter horse racing.
Saratoga had lots of references to horse racing, stuff to buy, things to see, but I just couldn't get myself to care. Everything about horse racing seems sketchy to me. I mean, even the jockey doesn't look happy.
Anyway, moving on, what does horse racing begat? Why, gambling, of course. Cue the casino. Again, it was just really hard for me to give a damn. This is the first casino built in Saratoga and it is now a museum but I didn't go in. Maybe I would have if it had been raining but it wasn't raining. (BTW, the casino is now also a Pokégym.)
An aside – these pictures I found of the museum remind me of the diorama set up in Old Man Twickum's House in Gilmore Girls episode "To Live and Let Diorama." Tempting as that was – still not enticement enough to go inside.
I did like the dogs though; a couple of Dachshunds resting on either side of the steps. The breed seems an unusual choice.
This particular spring was interesting. So much so that I walked back to it with Chris in order to share. The water here is described as, "a highly-carbonated water of an Alkaline-Saline flavor noted for its high mineral content and renowned as a digestive curative."
It sure was bubbly. I'll give it that. It sputtered out of those taps. But I think I'd have to be feeling pretty ill in order to consider it a cure to anything. I mean, it stank like rotten eggs.
And back to the hotel. We stopped along the way and bought Thai food for dinner. Have I mentioned the weather?
Oh and speaking of cold weather – here's a bonus photo of me playing Pokémon on Community Day here in the Woo. That's me in the yellow shoes.
I had fun. I caught lots of "sheep." But I think best of all is that I had an excuse to wear that hat out in public. Normally, I only wear it when I'm shoveling the driveway.
And that's it everybody!
I ordered two egg sacs of praying mantises today because, in theory, spring is right around the corner, the tomato plants will arrive and bugs will begin to fill the garden. : )

Acne Meetup
Entry posted by biancapaula ·
935 views
I think it would be really really cool to have a meetup group solely for people with acne. I don't know about everyone else but when I go out and about everyone around me seems to have clear skin and I'm like, there must be someone else out there going through the same thing as me! You see all the blogs and forums and stuff for people with acne, but where are they! Is everyone hiding away though I don't blame anyone if they are because I feel like that too sometimes.
Wonder what people's thoughts are on this? It'd be good for getting ideas and feedback on what others have done to treat their own acne and you wouldn't have to feel embarrassed because we're all in the same boat. Problem is people are so spread out! I'm in Melbourne, so if there's anyone else in Melbourne who likes the sound of this it'd be amazing if it could actually happen!

In 1909, Robert Millikan determined that the electron has a charge of 1.60x10^-19 Coulombs. He determined this by balancing the gravitational pull on oil droplets against the electric field needed to keep the droplets from falling. A single droplet would have multiple excess electrons, so the common divisor of the charge on multiple droplets gave the charge of a single electron. Derivative of this experiment, a common question of introductory physics students today is how many excess electrons are on a charged sphere if its total charge is found by experiment to be "x" Coulombs, assuming you already know a single electron's charge?
A harder problem is to solve for the number of electrons without knowing the charge of an electron beforehand. For example, you may find that the five droplets have charges of 2.4 x 10^-18, 3.36 x 10^-18, 1.44 x 10^-18, 2.08 x 10^-18, and 8.0 x 10^-19. Finding the charge of a single electron then becomes a matter of solving for the common divisor of 240, 336, 144, 208, and 80. The problem here is that the numbers are so large. One trick to simplifying the problem further is to find the differences between nearby numbers. 240 - 208 = 32. 2 x 80 - 144 = 16. So the number 16 pops out. Dividing 16 into the original 5 data points shows this is in fact the right answer. (When the numbers have a significant error range, the problem becomes very hard indeed.)
Suppose you have determined the charge of an oil drop to be, say, 2.4 x 10^-18 Coulombs. Note that the caret '^' refers to exponentiation. For example, 10^-2 equals 0.01.
Suppose also that you know in advance that the charge of an electron is 1.60x10^-19 Coulombs.
Divide the total excess charge by the known charge of a single electron.
Continuing with the example above, 2.4 x 10^-18 divided by 1.60 x 10^-19 is the same as 2.4 / 1.60 times 10^-18 / 10^-19. Note that 10^-18 / 10^-19 is the same as 10^-18 * 10^19, which equals 10. 2.4/1.6 = 1.5. So the answer is 1.5 x 10, or 15 electrons.

Bead Soup Blog Party...interesting name, isn't it? Last week I came across a tweet about an upcoming such party. I read the blog of the organizer - a very talented bead artist Lori Anderson and found the concept very interesting. Always looking forward to connect to more and more talented beaders out there and inspired by one of my favorite artist TheBeadDreamer I signed up for the party.
This is how it works...the organizer announces the date of the party on her blog, invites sign ups, pairs the participants who then send a bead soup mainly consisting of a focal bead, some coordinating beads and a nice clasp, to each other. The participants show the beads they got on their blog, make something out of it, take a picture and post it on their blog on the party day.

10 Charming Fall Bridal Shower Ideas
This might just be the best season for bridal showers.
Seasonal Sangrias
Sangria is a fantastic choice for any bridal shower because you can easily make a large quantity, and it's even better if you make it a day in advance. For a fall bridal shower, try this recipe using white wine, cider, and fresh apples.

Spooky Details
A fall bridal shower can be even more fun when you use a Halloween theme. These brilliant potion bottle glasses can hold that deadly punch you made and double as the shower favor.
Playing Dress-Up
If you have friends that love to dress up for Halloween, have a costume party bridal shower. Otherwise, hand out these adorable animal ear headbands at guests enter the party.
Pretty Palettes
The latest in fall event color palettes are all about warm neutrals, earth tones, and muted blues. For an elegant fall bridal shower, decorate your table with painted pumpkins, feathers, and wheat.
Gorgeous Pies
Seasonal pies are definitely a fall favorite for dessert tables. Make your own in apple, pumpkin, or pecan. This lattice top decorated with flowers proves how pretty a homemade pie can be.
Simple Sweets
Particularly if you are hosting a bridal shower at home, space to sit might be at a premium. If some of your guests will have to stand to eat, choose more simple (yet still festive) desserts that don't require utensils. Choose a fall flavored cake and complementary frosting and serve cupcakes instead.
Vibrant Holidays
Does the bride love bright colors? Go with a Day of the Dead theme and use a technicolor palette throughout the shower, from cool paper decorations to vibrant sugar skull cookies.
Easy Theme Parties
Give a classic tea party theme a Halloween twist with an Alice in Wonderland bridal shower. Whether you opt for fanciful Tim Burton or sweet Disney charm is entirely up to you.
Craft Projects
Wary of bridal shower games? Make a craft project instead. These white pumpkins decorated with gold sequins won't require much in the way of supplies, and everyone will love the final product.

Do you or someone you know still have reservations about electric vehicles (EVs)? If you live in Maryland, the benefits of an driving an electric vehicle were sweetened yesterday.
Beginning this October, plug-in EVs will be granted access to high occupancy lanes regardless of how many passengers inhabit the vehicles. That's right, no more glaring in envy as car pool lane drivers breeze right by you during rush hour. The legislation also offers a $2,000 excise motor vehicle tax credit for purchasing an electric vehicle. "[Consumers] will be able to take advantage of this incentive at the point of sale and can combine the $2,000 with an existing $7,500 federal tax credit," according to a statement. "The tax credit applies to vehicles titled in Maryland between October 1, 2010 through July 1, 2013."
Given that GM's Volt begins production later this year, it will be one of the first electric vehicles supported by the new Maryland legislation. (Unless you're in the market for a Tesla.) Will you be merging into the fast lane with an electric vehicle?

A native of Belgium, Feyten previously served as dean of the College of Education, Health and Society at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

The process of applying heat to green coffee beans to transform its chemical & physical properties, resulting in roasted coffee beans that can be brewed.
This coffee is nicknamed El Diablo by our importer. Maybe the coffee is a bit devlish in that it has a bright and complex character unlike many milder Nicaraguan coffees I have tasted recently.
Similar to Napa Valley or Burgundy for wine, the region where a coffee is grown can tell us a lot about the coffee.
Nueva Segovia
The farm & mill where the coffee cherry is grown & processed.
La Estrella
La Estrella was founded five years ago in the Nicaraguan municipality of Ocotai. Since its inception in 2013, the mill has quickly grown both in reputation and reach. Today, La Estrella sources coffee from no less than five different municipalities in the surrounding region. In total, 126 different farmers bring their coffee to the mill. Most of the coffee farmers who bring their harvests to La Estrella operate fairly small farms. Despite their farms' sizes, though, growers are able to cultivate many plants because the soil in the region is so fertile.
The method by which the green coffee bean is removed from the fruit & then dried & stored can affect the taste of the coffee.
This selection is fully washed, or wet processed. In wet processing, beans are only dried after all the fruit on the bean has been completely removed. (Letting the fruit ferment first makes removing it easy.) This processing method:
- Is the most common method used for coffee
- Generally creates clean flavors
- Produces a consistent profile
Most wine drinkers know whether they prefer a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot. Similarly, the Arabica coffee plant has several botanical varieties, each with unique taste characteristics.

The well is in the country with their own hands
Country land without water - a littledesert. No break flowerbed or swimming pool equip or other usual and just needed to man the benefits of civilization, related to water. The yield in this situation can only be one - the well in the country with their own hands or under the order. It all depends on whether you have the money and the desire to work. If the energy and enthusiasm fully, such a troublesome task as well the device in the country, will help you on the shoulder. Let's look at what can generally be well and what is the difference between them.
- Types of wells for independent water supply
- The simplest Abyssinian well
- Saving sand hole
- Artesian well - the long-term operational
- How to drill a well in the country?
- What needs to be home drillers?
- The process of self-drilling
- Equipment for autonomous water source
- How to clean the well in the country? professional drilling and equipping wells
Types of wells for independent water supply
The simplest Abyssinian well
This pile borehole or well-needle, whichYou can drill yourself. Good it is for the area in which the aquifer at the depth of 3-12 m. It is important that close (within a radius of 30 m from the well) did not have septic tanks, cesspools, septic tanks, landfills, and other polluting sources.
For such a well needed pipe Hammerfilter borer, grandmother with podbabkom, clamp. Is drilled in the yard, and in the basement of the house. Then you can enjoy the water even in the winter. And if the output and put a hand pump and column, it is possible to provide themselves with water, even in moments of lack of electricity.
Saving sand hole
Such a well is drilled for water extraction fromsandy aquifer, which is usually found at a depth of 50 m. Volume of produced water is enough for a single plot. However, the water quality should be checked periodically.
It is also important, and the above rulenecessary distance from the borehole sources of groundwater contamination. Filter for purifying crude water, located at the lowest part of the well must be cleaned regularly. The service life of such wells - 10-15 years.
Artesian well - the long-term operational
In areas where limestone is presentformation, possible to extract water from it. The presence of this layer can be found either at the neighbors (whether there are artesian wells in the neighborhood?), Or to order an experimental well by specialists. Self-drill a well does not work, because the depth of the water-bearing limestone formation -. Order 30-200 m corresponding works from the experts - it is quite expensive. But providing on your site similar to the water supply, you can be sure that your children, grandchildren, and problems with the water will not. For pumping water from this well you will need a metal tank the caisson, which set the pump and accumulator. In the underground pipes can hold the water in the house. Savings will be possible, if the drilling of wells in the country to raise funds from several suburban areas. Then water supply in the country from the well will be not a dream but a reality.
How to drill a well in the country?
To ensure the water area you need to decide,what volumes of water (debit) interest you. If this is about 10 cubic meters. per hour, it can not do without an artesian well. If it is 1-1.5 cubic meters. per hour, you can stay at the Abyssinian wells and sand well. The more that they can drill and independently. For information on how to do well in the country, and will be further discussed.
A place for well choose not too remote from the house -. Not more than 3 meters and then it will be easier to build water supply. If you were already on site sand wells, the new need to drilling out of old ones.
What needs to be home drillers?
For drilling well with their hands You will need:
- derrick - the tripod of solid timber or metal pipes attached to it winch for tripping drilling tools;
- drilling tools (includes columns for drilling, core barrel, drill rods);
- drill (for different types of soil use drill-bit, drill-spoon, Bailer, coil);
- shovels.
The process of self-drilling
In the space reserved for the well, pull outhole, the so-called hole, the size of which 1,5h1,5 m. To prevent obsypaniya wall sheathe their boards or plywood. Install rig (tripod). You can use ready-made, but you can make yourself three logs with a diameter of 15-20 cm. The attachment point of logs fixed winch. drilling column can consist of three, four or more meter rods fastened thread (clutch) in one pipe and equipped with clamps for tripping. If the well is planned to shallow, you can do half meter rods without using a tripod. The diameter of the core barrel depends on the diameter of the pump of the future. The gap between them should be not less than 5 mm. The most suitable pipe diameter 114 - 219 mm.
Drilling wells is carried outrotary-impact way. To drill the well, we need the efforts of two people, which will turn the post. Stange turns pipe (gas) key one person, and the second hitting the hammer at the bar, knocking the rock. An even more effective way: two scroll bar, and two with the help of winches raise and lower it into the hole, punching breed.
At the very bar you need to put the mark. It has 50-60 cm drill and to pull clear of the ground. Drilling - the process by all depends on the breed. Therefore, the drilling should be used, and different types of drills. On reaching the water-containing formation will indicate the presence of moisture is removed from the well formation. When you reach the appropriate level of the well water is purified bailer and wash the pump from sand and solids.
Equipment for autonomous water source
For the well equipment needed:
- a casing (metal, plastic);
- filter;
- pump;
- tether;
- hydroisolated cable;
- pipe or hose for lifting water;
- valve;
- caisson.
Well equipped with a filter column,and a filter consisting of a casing. The filter is made from a casing by winding the filter mesh perforation. Is pumped through the casing and washed with water filter.
The pump is pre-selected. After all, its size should match the diameter of the casing. Also, when selecting a pump well is important to consider debit water depth on the pump load, which depends on the depth of the well itself and its distance from home. If the depth of the well over 9 m, the well pump is used if less - is a superficial, self-priming.
The submersible pump is lowered into the wellattached to a safety cable or pipe. To pump attached cable that should be waterproof and water lifting tube (or hose). The diameter of such pipes can be 25, 40, 50 mm, depending on the debit wells. The pipe is displayed at the wellhead and is hermetically welded to the end walls of the caisson. Water flow is regulated by a valve, which is mounted on a pipe. Caisson with sides covered with earth. To get to the hole is now possible only through a hatch in the ground. From the caisson trench for the water carried into the house.
How to clean the well in the country?
Long well operation results over timeits clogging. How do we know this? From the tap! Water flow is reduced, water comes out with air, jerky impurities present in the water, sludge and sand. If this time is not well, "treat", you have to dig a new one. How clean the wells? There are several.
With the air compressor. On the tube wells create a vacuum tube. She is joined by a compressor and purged them well under high pressure. This method is good for treatment of sludge. If, however, in addition to mud contains iron and lime deposits, the purge will be ineffective.
Using water compressor. The well was washed under strong pressure of water. Effectively it is only against the mud and sand.
Revolutionary method may be called explosionby short-circuit. For this purpose, the cord is separated (2), a threaded plug (5), bare wires and connect them to move apart thin thread of copper (2). This device is inserted into the bottle of medication (4), filled with its black powder (3) and sealed with a stopper. This device is lowered onto the bottom of the borehole (1) by attaching sinker. As the weights you can use a piece of lead or steel pipe. Further, the plug (8) from the cord, connected to the 220V network and immediately shut down. As well an explosion. It is safer to carry out similar experiments with half-full vial twice. If the water goes, and then we can stay, if not, then have full use vial.
Using acid. Once the well is purged compressor acid is poured into it. The method is very dangerous, so a person needs as much as possible to protect the face, eyes, wear a respirator. Since the acid is now the day the fire will not find, people use prilovchilis acid Battery. Once the wellbore was poured acid zakuporte it for a few days. After a time, again armed with protective equipment, remove the plug. By attaching a pump pumped water for 7 hours. After this procedure, you can drink it only after a month, and if earlier - then only after additional filtering.
As you can see, the shortcomings in the self-purificationwells weight. Therefore, in order and well maintained, and most of its clean, use the services of professionals. Otherwise, you can use instead of harm and inexperience destroy the pipe. "Miser pays twice", - says the proverb. It is better to once every 10 years to pay professionals to clean and repair wells than to dig a new one.

Difference Between DECT & Digital
Thomas Northcut/Photodisc/Getty Images
The introduction of digital cordless phones improved sound quality over analogue and prevented eavesdropping that analogue cordless phones allowed.
DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) phones take digital much further, as they add additional data to the communications between the phone and the base station, allowing many additional functions and more flexibility. For basic cordless phone use, DECT also allows access to a frequency band with less interference.
Basic Differences Between Digital and DECT
DECT 6.0, as it is called in the United States, provides a more secure digital protocol than regular digital phones, and adds features such as sharing a base station unit among several handsets, and letting the handsets communicate with each other. For small business systems, the handsets may also share several lines. These features are made possible by the more complex DECT digital protocol which carries the voice data.
Choosing Between Digital and DECT
For basic cordless phone use, DECT has several advantages over digital, even if the phone functionality is the same. DECT 6.0 operates on the 1.9 GHz band in the United States, which has less interference than the popular 2.4 GHz band. The 2.4 GHz band is shared between a wide variety of devices including Wi-Fi wireless Internet, baby monitors and even microwave ovens. DECT phones are also designed to transmit higher quality digital sound.
DECT Technology in Large Phone Systems
Larger DECT-based phone systems have been popular in Europe for years, and DECT has also been used as a limited range mobile phone type service in some countries rather than wiring every household. DECT-based networks can be extended and distributed in addition to functioning as a basic point-to-point cordless phone device. Larger companies can implement DECT systems with hundreds of handsets and wireless repeaters, allowing access throughout a building. DECT protocols provide standards for voice and data transport, allowing many functions similar to mobile phones.
DECT Future Possibilities
If DECT 6.0 becomes popular in the United States as it has in Europe, corporate and residential telephone systems could become wireless. Instead of providing digital cordless phones, which respond only to an associated base station wired to a standard telephone jack, DECT phones connect wirelessly without a need for physical installation. Integrated voice and data devices for applications such as hospital communication are also possible with DECT, which can be used for a variety of data-only wireless devices in addition to voice communications.

Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs
How to Peel Hard Boiled Eggs – the easy way! Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs can be tricky. Let me show you how to tackle them without getting frustrated…
How To Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
Here are a few tips I've learned over the years that make peeling hard boiled eggs a breeze!
Old eggs peel easier than fresh eggs. Nobody likes the idea of eating old food, but eggs can last a long time in the fridge. Instead of using your newly gathered farm fresh eggs straight from the chicken, hard boil the eggs that have been in your fridge for a few weeks. At the grocery store, I would even pick eggs with an older expiration date, because the older the eggs, the easier they are to peel.
Cold eggs peel easier than warm eggs. When making deviled eggs, I usually cook my eggs first thing in the morning, chill them all day, then come back and make the avocado deviled eggs with bacon in the evening. Chilling is a huge factor in easy peeling.
Cracks are a good thing. Ever look into the pot of boiling water and worry over a cracked egg? Silly us. When an egg cracks while boiling is allows a tiny bit of water to seep under the shell. The extra layer of water makes it much easier to peel the shell off.
Tap and roll. When you're ready to peel the eggs, gently tap them on a hard surface and roll to crack the shell on all sides. Try to get your fingernail underneath the film that separate the egg white from the shell. Once you get a section of the film up, it should be smooth peeling.
The magic of cold water. If you have an extra hard-to-peel egg, run it under cold water while peeling. Like the cracked eggs with an extra layer between the shell, the water works its way under the shell and makes it easier to lift off.
A bakers dozen. The truth is, some eggs are just harder to peel than others. Even if you do everything right, there's a chance you'll have one or two eggs that are just plain ugly after peeling. I always boil 1-2 extra eggs, to insure all the eggs I'm using for my deviled egg recipe are smooth and gorgeous!

Great tips! Adding a few drops of vegetable oil to the water also makes eggs easier to peel.
I find I can peel eggs straight from the chicken if I steam them instead of boiling
Such great tips! I cannot wait to try them out!
I tap and roll, then use a spoon between the shell and egg. There always seems to be one in the bunch that just doesn't want to let go! : )

Fluorescence shading effects can often cause difficulty, due to the fact there is little or no light to measure the shading pattern. Nevertheless there are strategies to consider:
Improve the optics. In some cases the solution is simply to use a better fluorescence illuminator that gives more even illumination. For instance, with the Leica DM6000 microscope and its external fluoro source, there is the potential for very little shading.
Use the brightfield pattern. In fluorescence the issue is still the same, i.e. the optics transmit light more efficiently through the centre of the lens, so you can try to set a shading pattern in brightfield illumination and then switch to fluorescent mode. There's no guarantee of success due to the differences in bulb alignment and the condenser itself - but definitely try it.
- Use an evenly fluorescing sample slide to acquire the shading correction. Potentially you can obtain slides useful for this from places like these:
- Use a "sample averaging" approach. Surveyor supports this using the "Map tools" which is the little hammer icon in Surveyor's Scan window. The trick here is to first scan a fluorescent channel to get the mosaic. Then the Map tools can be used and it will go through the set of tiles trying to figure out foreground vs background, using a low pass filter that you can specify. This will then build what it thinks is the shading image by comparing all of the tiles, and attempting to build a correction. This can help, but in fluoro it still suffers from the issues related to there being little signal in the blank areas.
- Use a region-of-interest of the camera frame. By extracting a sub-region of the frame you can avoid the outer edges which exhibit the worst of the shading effects. Depending on your camera model you may have an option to set the width and height of the camera frame in the camera properties dialog (where you adjust the exposure/gain etc, and it's usually in the Process or Advanced tab). Alternatively right-click on the live image window and you'll see a popup menu with options related to showing and setting the ROI. You can show the ROI box overlay, drag the edges of the box to a reduced size, and then right-click again to set this ROI. Try scanning with this new ROI and you may see the shading effects reduced.

Beets are a great vegetable for a garden. A fresh beet drips with flavor. There is nothing like a sweet fresh beet. By the time you buy them from market, they have lost a lot of moisture and simply aren't as sweet and delicious. Beet leaves are great in salads too!
Planting a beet is best done in rows. You can plant them around 1/2 inch down and 2 inches to 4 inches apart. At 2 inches you will have to pick some beets on the smaller end to allow other beets to get to full size and sometimes that is as big as a baseball. Your choice.
|Beet Seeds - The Rusted Garden: Gary Pilarchik
|Beet Rows and Spacing: Gary Pilarchik
I am plant a round variety of beet that gets large, so I space my seeds visualizing how mature beets would look or at the size I want to pick them. I plant my seeds accordingly. If you are planting cylindrical beets than you can plant them closer together.
Remember the beet seed in the picture is actually a pod or cluster of beet seeds. You will have to thin them to one plant per spot.

Students push for changes in District's discipline policy
by Katie McCabe
Student leaders and community allies working with the Campaign for Nonviolent Schools voiced their opposition Thursday to the most recent draft of the School District's discipline policy at a press conference on the steps of District headquarters.
Members of the Campaign for Nonviolent Schools, along with other organizations like the Education Law Center, have been working since early February to provide recommended changes to the district's code of conduct as part of School Reform Commissioner Lorene Cary's safety and engagement committee.
Cary said the students were "absolutely correct" to be concerned about the draft, which still doesn't address their main concerns. They want it to be clear that students can't be suspended for infractions like being out of uniform or cutting class and that expulsions will be used as a last resort.
"The changes they are planning to make still do not support our efforts to create a safer space in schools," said Rachel Purdom, who graduated this year from the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts and is a member of the Mazzoni Center Student Leadership Board.
District officials are now working to write another draft of the code that is more responsive to student feedback.
"We are making, I believe, significant changes to it that do address the things that matter most to them – and to us," Cary said.
Briana Bailey, a rising junior at Science Leadership Academy, outlined what the student leaders want to see in the new draft.
"We need Lorene Cary, the SRC, and School District to agree to our discipline matrix," she said. The preferred matrix is a more nuanced framework of disciplinary consequences than what now exists in the code of conduct.
Besides clarifying disciplinary consequences, students want the new code of conduct to spell out the relationship between police and the District. Right now, the code does not make it clear when a student's offense will result in an arrest by the Philadelphia police.
And beyond changes in the code of conduct, the students also want the District to address the root causes of school violence by increasing their focus on school-wide positive behavior supports and restorative practices, in which students are held accountable for their actions by methods other than punishment.
Youth leaders with the Campaign for Nonviolent Schools have outlined these and other demands in a document released Wednesday, called the "Commitment to Smart School Discipline." They have asked the School Reform Commission and District officials to sign it, and plan to reiterate their concerns in front of the SRC at Monday's public meeting at 5:30 p.m.
New official hired to build safety strategy
The SRC recently brought on new Stoneleigh Fellow Jody Greenblatt, who will be working with the commission for the next two years to improve school climate by developing a comprehensive safety strategy for the School District.
Greenblatt and Cary are now organizing a principal engagement and safety summit to take place in August. This past spring, the SRC and the District worked with the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission to provide district-wide trainings to school leaders on anti-bullying and anti-harassment school policies.
The International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP), based out of Bethlehem, Pa., also periodically holds trainings for teachers and school leaders in the Philadelphia area. The most recent four-day session was held a few weeks ago. IIRP also has a master's-level program.
The institute is hopeful that it will be able to restart its restorative justice work at West Philadelphia High School, thanks to a $40,000 grant from the Community Revitalization Program of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
John Bailie, IIRP's director of continuing education programs, wants to build on this work at West Philadelphia High School to create a "West Philadelphia Restorative Zone."
In such a zone, anyone who works with young people – in families, social service agencies, police, churches, or school – would get training in restorative practices.
IIRP has had success with a similar initiative in Hull, England, the "world's first restorative city."
In West Philadelphia, the zone is still in its early planning stages. Initial meetings were held in the spring with stakeholders, including Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, and the IIRP is now preparing a grant application to support the project's further development.
Teachers and school leaders who have gone through IIRP training or courses have high hopes for the impact that restorative practices could have if implemented District-wide.
"If the District adopted this, it would be so fantastic," said Lauren Fischer, a guidance counselor who works at Powel Elementary school and attended IIRP's most recent workshop in Philadelphia.
She especially thinks the District's current process for disciplinary expulsions, referred to as the EH-21 process, could be improved by a focus on restorative practices.
"If kids do one thing wrong … you either go back to school and nothing happens, or you go to a disciplinary school, and it's on your record forever," Fischer said. "With restorative practices, the problem can be looked at more closely."
Stacy Phillips, a special education teacher at Juniata Park Academy who graduated from IIRP's master's program this year, also thinks that the district needs to focus more on restorative practices.
"I think that the District as a whole would really benefit from this mind-shift," Phillips said. "But it's definitely not something that happens overnight."
Cary agrees that a culture change is needed around discipline practices, but says it will take time.
"Changing culture is a much more complex problem than imposing compliance," said Cary, "but it's a more effective way to get different outcomes."

I am a long term skirmisher who left the N-ssa several years ago. I would like to find a team that is not necessarily looking for another Musket or carbine shooter. My health is not that good and it is a lot of time on the line. Perhaps Revolver or repeater.
The main reason I would like to return is that I have a couple of artillery pcs. which I can still use (with help of course).
I live in Michigan and would prefer to join a team outside of my region.
If you think that I may be a fit with your team, please P.M. me.

Many of us grew up in a period where Sunday's meant church, brunch and then home to relax because everything was closed. There were no errands or "chores" it was truly a day of rest and relaxing and hanging with family or friends.
Anyone miss that?
I never thought I would but I find the older I have gotten the more I really appreciate the ability to get up early to start the day and do a whole lot of nothing. The weeks are always busy with work and chores of daily life that I get excited when I realize that I have planned NOTHING for the weekend. The idea that I can do whatever feels right or if I chose to cat nap on the couch or binge watch the newest Netflix obsessed show. It's a beautiful thing!
Love and hugs friends!

@canion Hmm! Well, it already seems like ancient history that I bought Tinderbox, and I may have pulled the trigger just a tad too soon, but I don't regret the purchase at all. I will sheepishly admit that in classic fashion, I bought the app, dove in, and two days later became even more interested in Emacs and Org-Mode and that has taken over for now. Once I get through the Mastering Emacs book, I'll probably pick up where I left off with TBX. The files that @jack shared recently were super helpful to getting me oriented. The outline mode suits my brain a little better than the map mode, and I think I'll end up using it (or a private TW instance) for detailed, expansive book notes. I may even play with exporting tagged Org-Journal or Org-Mode/datetree entries back into TBX to generate graphs about food, drink, reading, etc. But that's a ways off. So, that may not have helped you! I will say that your interest in TBX doesn't seem to have waned in the past couple of weeks, so if your trial has run out, it may be time for you to make the plunge, but be aware that it's back up to $249 USD now, and it was on sale for "only" $196 when I bought it.
@twelvety @canion It's interesting that I was going to suggest that the biggest differentiating feature of Tinderbox from Org and TiddlyWiki is Map mode. It's great for laying notes out visually and showing relationships. Otherwise, I'm finding TiddlyWiki to be a pretty compelling replacement for Tinderbox, as it has a similar philosophy.
@canion Yep, @jack is right about the power of Map mode in Tinderbox. Once I get some book notes in it, I will play with arranging them into some kind of logical order. And the keyboard shortcuts for diving in and out of notes and clusters of notes made that mode more understandable and faster for me than it had been. Before learning those, I thought Tinderbox was too "messy".
@twelvety @canion The other killer view from Tinderbox is "Timeline". I used to keep book notes and dates in Tinderbox. A timeline like this was always one click away. I found it interesting.
@jack I use both Map and Timeline "modes" with TiddlyWiki. TiddlyMap plugin gives me the visualisation of links though I suspect it's relatively primitive to what Tinderbox can do (I almost don't know Tinderbox). And vis.js Timeline plugin creates the timelines, I use one for all notes and one for a specific project defined by tags.
@jack I think TiddlyMap is great. Sometimes I configure a map ("view") based on what I'm researching at the moment but mostly I use the "live view". It creates a map with the currently selected tiddler as its central nod. Then I can click through on my way to other, deeper buried tiddlers. As TiddlyMap is one of the tabs in the sidebar, it's quite convenient to use it.
