Goosebumps Movie Quotes
Goosebumps movie quotes bring the best-selling children's books with the same name to life in a feature film. Based on the series by R.L. Stine, the film was directed by Rob Letterman using a screenplay Darren Lemke penned using a story by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Goosebumps opened in theaters on October 16, 2015.
In Goosebumps, teen Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) and his mother, Gale (Amy Ryan), move to the small town of Madison, Delaware, where Gale is the new vice principal at the local high school. Zach soon meets the girl next door, Hannah (Odeya Rush), and her unfriendly father, R.L. Stine (Jack Black). So when Zach hears Hannah scream, he gathers his buddy Champ (Ryan Lee) and the two head to the Stine house to investigate.
In R.L. Stine's house, Zach and Champ discover a bunch of Goosebumps manuscripts with locks on them. When they unlock one, they are surprised to see a giant yeti pop up out of it. A bad situation only gets worse when Hannah and R.L. Stine arrive to inform them that all of the Goosebumps monsters are now unleashed and unless they act fast to suck the beasts back into the books, they are all doomed. The unlikely heroes must work together to save themselves and others from assured destruction.Goosebumps opened alongside other great fall 2015 movies such as The Martian, The Walk, The Intern and Hotel Transylvania 2.
Champ: The Abominable Snowman just crawled out of a book! That doesn't just happen!
R.L. Stine: You just released every monster I've ever created!
Champ: What was that?
R.L. Stine: It's the Invisible Boy.
Champ: Ow!
R.L. Stine: Ah, he's such a crack up.
R.L. Stine: Hello, My name is Mr. R.L. Stine. Every story ever told can be broken down into three parts: The beginning, the middle, and the twist.Working as an English teacher at the local high school, R.L. Stine hooks his students by telling them about the anatomy of a story. Little do they know, they're about to be learned by one of the most famous writers in the business.
Champ: Whoa! The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, these are all Goosebumps manuscripts. Why are these books locked?
Hannah: Did you unlock a book?
R.L. Stine: Oh, no!
Zach Cooper: I'm sorry. I'll put it back where it belongs. Look, here it is.
Hannah: No, don't open it! ... Nobody make a sound!
Champ: Ahhhhhh!
Zach Cooper: Mom, are you positive there weren't any other places looking for vice principals?
Gale Cooper: You promise you'll give it a shot?
Zach Cooper: I promise, and I looked into it. Legally, I can't live on my own until I'm 18.
Zach Cooper: Yeah, I'm Zach, by the way.
Hannah: I'm Hannah.
R.L. Stine: Hannah, get away from the window. Now!
Hannah: I gotta go.
Zach Cooper: Hi! Hey, we're just moving in.
R.L. Stine: You see that fence?
Zach Cooper: Uh, yes
R.L. Stine: Stay on your side of it!
Zach Cooper: He's a big teddy bear.
Hannah: Don't take it personally. He doesn't really like anyone.

Time: 45 minutes. The luscious sauce makes this French toast taste like sticky toffee pudding. (Put leftover sauce on ice cream.)
How to Make It
Prepare sauce: Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar until well blended, then bring to a boil. Boil until sugar dissolves, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully stir in cream (mixture may spatter) and pecans; reduce heat to low.
Make French toast: In a large shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and orange liqueur.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp. salted butter in skillet, tipping pan to coat. Quickly dip bread, 1 piece at a time, into egg batter, coating both sides but not drenching. Lay bread in skillet and repeat with remaining bread. Cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes; then flip, add remaining 1 tbsp. butter, and cook until second side is golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes more.
Transfer French toast to plates, top with some of warm toffee sauce, and serve remaining sauce on the side.
Make ahead: Sauce keeps up to 2 days, covered and chilled (reheat in a microwave oven).

Statement of Basis and Purpose
Originating from input from applicants and other parties affected by the existing laws and rules relating to property tax abatements for the installation of green roofs, with the assistance of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), New York State has amended Title 4-B of Article 4 of the NYS Real Property Tax Law.
Therefore, in conjunction with DEP, the Department of Buildings is proposing to amend this rule in order to coincide with relevant amendments made to the revised state law.
Such proposed amendment to the rule will expand the definition of "vegetation layer" to include "native plant species, and/or agricultural plant species". This amendment would allow rooftop farms to qualify for the abatement, as they provide similar stormwater management benefits as other green roofs, while bringing the added benefit of providing local produce to New York City residents.

Please check the 55 powerful positive testimonials from neem experts from 17 countries and book reviews!
from Professor Steven Ley
Professor Steven Ley, CBE, FRS, F.Med Sci, Professor of Chemistry, Director of Research, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
I was delighted to receive a copy of the second edition of your book "Neem – Nature's Healing Gift to Humanity." This thoughtful book on Neem and its therapeutic benefits is written with true passion and commitment to this magical tree. It is well researched and contains a plethora of useful and interesting information and constitutes a unique collection of references which I found very helpful.
from Birgit Bradtke
Birgit Bradtke, Neem enthusiast & researcher, formerly with WA Kununurra, Australia, now Langkampfen, Austria, www.discoverneem.com
For anyone curious about neem and its many uses, Klaus Ferlow's book "Neem – Nature's Healing Gift to Humanity" is the best place to start. They will probably finish here as well, as I am confident this book will answer any and all questions they may have. Klaus leads with the eminently readable story of his own struggle with psoriasis, how he finally overcame the condition with the help of neem, and how that led him to become the first producer and marketer of neem products in the Western world. Concurrently he has been curious about and researching all things neem ever since and he is generously sharing his discoveries in part 2 and 3 of the book. Part 2 contains a concise guide to the many uses of neem for a great variety of skin and other health conditions, whereas part 3 digs into the science and research behind this seemingly miraculous plant. This is followed by detailed information about the controversies surrounding patents on various neem extraction and production methods and a look into the future of neem. People contemplating growing neem trees, be it privately or commercially, will appreciate the inclusion of the full text of Dr. Ramesh Saxena's study (The Neem Tree: Its Geographic Distribution, Plantation Characteristics, Growth and Yield, Genetic Variation, and Associated Pests and Diseases). And anybody who wants to dig deeper into any of the covered topics will greatly appreciate the impressive collection of neem resources at the back of the book: 58 (!) pages of neem manufacturers, distributers, importers & exporters as well as research and other organizations worldwide, all organized by location.
All in all an impressively comprehensive yet easy to read reference manual that I hope will spread the word about neem to the many who could benefit from this versatile plant. Which would be everyone!
from Gunter Hartung
Gunter Hartung, Journalist, Hanover, Germany
"Finally, a book on the neem tree which answers all important questions. Using details and examples, Klaus Ferlow describes and characterizes the neem exactly as it is, namely a 'savior.'The book's contents, above all the chapter on the 'Plan Verde' project in northern Peru, raises the question of why governments and regional authorities have so far apparently failed to recognize the neem tree's potential.Hopefully this book will help open the eyes of the authorities and their representatives. Hopefully it will reveal to them this tree's countless positive environmental and economic advantages."
"Endlich ein Werk über Neem, das alle wesentlichen Fragen beantwortet. Klaus Ferlow hat, detailliert und beispielhaft, den Neembaum als das beschrieben und charakterisiert, was er in Wirklichkeit ist: ein "Heilbringer." Der Text und vor allem das Kapital rund um das Projekt "Plan Verde" im Norden Perus wirft die Frage auf, warum Regierungen und regionale Verwaltungen das Potential, das im Neembaum steckt, bisher offenbar nicht erkannt haben. Das Buch möge also helfen, auch Behördenvertretern die Augen zu öffnen und sie die zahlreichen positiven ökologischen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekte erkennen zu lassen."
from Dr. Nirrmala Kotharii
Dr. Nirrmala Kotharii, organizer of the Neem Wave Exhibition LLP, owner Neem Skin Clinic, Chairperson, Board of Advidors, Neem Foundation, Bombay (Mumbai), India – Information about Dr. Nirrmala Kotharii check here –
The book " NEEM – NATURE'S HEALING GIFT TO HUMANITY" in totality is an excellent book. The author Mr Klaus Ferlow a Master Herbalist and a great Neem enthusiast , Neem lover , a Neem supporter and a Neem worker. Mr Klaus this book of yours is very well compiled and written. Multifaceted qualities of Neem has been highlighted in the book. The best true story which I liked from this book is of Elke & Stephan Kruegers and their "Plan – Verde." Hats off to them. All the best for second edition. Hope to learn much more from it too.

Klaus Ferlow`s book "Neem – Nature's Healing Gift to Humanity" is an excellent and timely book at one of the most beneficial healing plants on our planet. Klaus's longstanding passion and respect for the Neem tree is evident throughout. As is the in-depth knowledge he has amassed from over two decades of study on it. I am grateful for the expertise that Klaus has shared with us.
from Lorna Hancock
Lorna Hancock, BA, Executive Director and co-founder, Health Action Network Society, Vancouver, BC. Canada
This book is heart-warming to read. It's like a personal story filled with good will and very nice people, like the Krueger's who see the Neem tree as a potential economic boost to the good people in Piura, Peru. I love stories of dedication like theirs. Struggles, adversity, leading to real and important solutions for suffering cultures.
from Dr. Terry Willard
Dr. Terry Willard, PhD., CIH, Director of Wild Rose College of Natural Healing, Courtenay, B.C., Canada and author of 12 books of Botanical Medicine
Finally a comprehensive book on Neem from a well respected researcher. Klaus has given us a complete review of this wonderful herb from the most important point of view of all – a functioning herbalist. This work shows the long hours he has spent with its intimate details.
A great contribution!

If you run into an issue where a Cinder volume you attached to a VM can not be deleted even after detaching it from the VM, and when you look into the logs you find something like
ERROR cinder.volume.manager ....... Unable to delete busy volume.
WARNING cinder.volume.drivers.rbd ......... ImageBusy error raised while deleting rbd volume. This may have been caused by a connection from a client that has crashed and, if so, may be resolved by retrying the delete after 30 seconds has elapsed.
There are multiple scenarios that might cause these errors, among which are:
- Scenario 1: First error message mentioned above, You mighthave created a snapshot of the volume, whether inside cinder or directly from ceph rbd command line. Ceph will not allow you to delete a volume that has snapshots attached to it. The snapshots on the volume can be listed by
rbd snap ls POOLNAME/VOLUMEid
- And then the snapshots can be purged by (only if the snapshots were created outside cinder) :
rbd snap purge POOLNAME/VOLUMEid
If you have the volume snapshots created inside cinder , it's definitely better to clear them from inside cinder instead.
- Scenario 2: The other scenario is that libvirt on one of the compute nodes is still attached to that volume (the second error message above). This could happen if the VM did not terminate correctly or the detachment didn't actually happen. To verify that , you will need to list the watchers of the rbd using
rbd status POOLNAME/VOLUMEid
- This will show you the IP of the watcher (the compute node in this case) and the cookie used for the connection
One possibility of this scenario is that a VM did not fully release the volume, i.e detach. To release it, you will have to restart the VM making sure that qemu process has no reference to the volume ID. You might have read that you need reboot the compute node, to release the detachment, but you don't have to do that if you can just restart the VM with ensuring no attachment to the volume in the qemu process.
Hope that helps !

Hey Friends,
I have a table with a continious process data. I want to calculate the CpK at every measurment, so that I can follow the variation in CpK with time. Is there an elegant way to do so ?
Before someone tries to script this solution, some thoughts about Cpk sample size issues:
Cpk confidence intervals for small samples are huge until you get to 20, 200 or even 2000 measurements. (Nominal Cpk of 2.0 might be <1.0 or >3.0 for example with few samples.) Just because computers use 2 or more decimal point results does not mean that it means anything.
You might have to use a startup-set of 20 (or 200) typical measurements from history, then re-calc as each new measurement is added.
However Cpk changes very very very slowly which is why many companies only report it quarterly, of if high speed mfg, monthly, or weekly but with stated sample size and upper and lower confidence levels. Just my opinion based on volume mfg practices.
Better perhaps to use your measurements in EWMA or other SPC chart with OOC rules and limits, and then show your moving Cpk (based on moving mean and moving stdev!) on second chart below the SPC individuals charts? JQT had so many discussions on Cpk confidence interval issues that Lloyd Nelson banned articles on Cpk for a full year...long ago as I remember.
Thanks for your wise guidence, very helpful.
I have another question. If there is a process which is being monitored long term and the results are not evenly spaced in time (of what ever is used on the X-axis) should we start to recalculate the sigma and mean after lets say after a certain (long) gap ?
Cpk and Ppk (short and long term...or within vs all-variation) are measures of UNDERLYING CAPABILITY vs spec limits and not useful without SPC charts to assure process behavior is NORMAL or at least not skewed heavily. It is not INSTANTANEOUS measure of short term capability changes as the SPC chart would likely show mean or sigma OOC signal with sparse or internittent data.
So IF you have at least 25 points after long gap of no data, you might recalculate the SPC limits just to see how much they have shifted or gotten more variable. But until you have perhaps 100 points I would not bother to report a change in capability....unless REQUIRED in which case modern SPC software can give you Cpk values as well as mean and sigma or median and IQR for any SPC chart that meets minimum sample size....and further, they give CONFIDENCE LEVELS on high and low side of nominal Cpk or Cpm (related to target not just limits).
Start with SPC charting, including EWMA as well as X and moving range charts...as one option, depending on type of process behavior (from exploratory data analysis, or process capability STUDY during well controlled period. Check other discussions on this topic as it has been discussed hundreds of times in ASQ.com (especially their Journal of Quality Technology), Isixsigma.com, and linked-in discussion groups.
Both SPC %OOC per quarter and Cpk per quarter are often studied for hints as to process behavior with SPC charting.
Long gaps in process results can simply mean you are monitoring the PRODUCT rather than PROCESS which could be running multiple products.
So Process Cpk for all products using real process outputs and inputs in a MFG DB can be useful as it gives bigger sample sizes (for Cpk assessment of underlying capability) as well as measure of alarms and mistakes that are actionable (part of cost of quality), Job shops are tricky, and Wheeler has studied SPC for short run manufacturing (which has mention of Cpk). Blogs by Wheeler and others such as Isixsigma.com can answer special questions, such as tool wear trend impacts, short run mfg, non-normal process behavior. What SPC software do you have?
Hello Mclayton,
Sorry for the delay in responding to you. I use the JMP to plot the SPCs ... (is there some thing else that one can use). For the calcuation of the moving CpKs, I export the data to XL, do the calculations and then export back to JMP. This is painfull, however since JMP does not have the option to reference indivual cells like in XL, I have no other option. Do you know if there is a work around for this ?
What other addin or sofrware to you use for such work ?
Thanks for sharing your valuable know how on this.
Have you plotted the raw data in JMP Variability Plot? That can be used to break down the many components of variation visually, and to some extent numerically using the random effects model usually. Remember your goal is process and thus product MPROVEMENT, not a Cpk number that moves up and down often.
Why do you need to recalculate Cpk for every measurement?
Is it mandatory?
You already have SPC chart to show single point excursions and trends in the process behavior.
You could report these OOC excursions as "% OOC" rather than use what I think is a misleading rolling Cpk that hides the perhaps actionable points OOC.
Cpk is an UNDERLYING capability index.
It is used to ESTIMATE the PPM failure rate based on those spec limits.
It has a "short term" metric based on subgroup standard deviation, which I find relatively useless except for focusing improvement efforts when the 'in control" behavior is still not good enough given action taken only on OOC points.
And it has a "long term" metric based on ALL variance components, including temporal variation over at least 25 parts.
Daily reports on %OOC across all SPC charts can help prioritize short term shop floor efforts, while long term Cpk can help prioritize INVESTMENT efforts that focus on the improvment of COMMON CAUSE variation that SPC charts miss on purpose.
That long term Cpk is the only one that my clients report montly or quarterly, but not updated for each SPC chart point.
And when improvement action is suggested a long-term Cpk less than 1.5 or 1.67 or whatever goal your industry has set as target, you then need to look back at the SPC chart raw data and find the VARIANCE COMPONENTS that can be attacked by CI team. You might use the JMP Variability Plot to visualize and even enumerate those VC's. Example of variance components might be part to part, variation within part, batch to batch if batch process, and temporal variations which could be hourly, shift to shift, or PM to PM, or day to day, week to week, some seasonal measure, etc. That Variability Plot done in nested format for most production subgroups, or crossed format for DOE studies, can be very helpful for CI teams. We never report Cpk's without this kind of background Capability Study.
So again, how do you plan to USE a moving Cpk? It as same problems as moving range and moving average charts, in terms of actionable interpretation of variance components which show up better on "muilti-vari" or JMP Variability plots...in my opinion. If its required, challenge that request until someone explains what action would be taken for the many ups and downs it shows often, when actually the UNDERLYING LONG TERM CAPABILITY has NOT really changed. Deal with short term excursions using SPC rules and action plans that attack SPECIAL causes of variation using CONTROL limits. Deal with long term process behavior vs SPEC limits (rather than control limits) if necessary by attacking the COMMON causes of variation which the SPC charts are designed to MISS so you can focus short term on OOC points. CI is a two-step process, get rid of special causes, then re-assess capability and if marginal attack common causes using the JMP Variability Plots for visualization, and DOE methods to study and improve those many other variance components.
This is just suggestion based on my experience, not any particular text book.
If you report Cpk too often, you will mislead management and customers who will demand that you EXPLAIN every up or down value which may only be reflection of OOC points for down shifts, but may actually be real for up shifts which you will only really know after much longer time! Metrics should be realistic and actionable and to be actionable must address EACH source of variation, not some "average" which only leads to more confusion.
But remember, I am not a SAS expert. I am simply a high volume manufacturing process engineer that has USED JMP for more than two decades to drive improvement efforts, both short term and long term where big bucks are often involved to improve common causes when spec limits are tight.
There are no labels assigned to this post.

"Our exhalation is that of the entire universe. Our inhilation is that of the entire universe. Thus, in each moment, we realize the truth about existence. This spirit eliminates misfortune and creates absolute joy." (Kodo Sawaki 1880-1965)
The breath is a fundamental aspect of zazen. It is peaceful and assumes a slow, strong, natural rhythm.
The exhalation is deep and long. Zen masters compare it to the lowing of a cow. The inhalation, which is shorter, follows the exhaltion naturally; no force or intention is required.
The body becomes strong, the brain fresh, and the blood pure. This deep, calm, slow exhalation washes away mental complications. Consciousness becomes as clear as a cloudless sky.

Vertigo Dance Company in Noa Wertheim's "Mana"
Video: Vertigo in Noa Wertheim's Mana
Another guest at International Exposure 2009, Talia Baruch, covers the San Francisco-area dance scene for her blog GoSee– Dance. She wrote some reviews of dances she saw here in Israel in December for her website and is generously sharing them here on Dance In Israel.
Talia's second guest article is about Noa Wertheim's Mana, which premiered as part of Curtain Up's 20th anniversary and was a hit with the audience at International Exposure. Read on to hear Talia's take on this captivating work.
* * *
International Exposure 2009—Suzanne Dellal Dance Center | Vertigo Dance Company
By Talia Baruch
Vessel of Light
Choreography & Artistic Director: Noa Wertheim | Co-Artistic Director: Adi Sha'al | Music: Ran Bagno | Percussion: Dani Makov | Stage & Costume Design: Rakefet Levy | Lighting Design: Dani Fishof | Still photography: Gadi Dagon | Review & Copywriting: Talia Baruch
Mana dances the tension between container and contained, exterior and interior, whole and hollow.
And what is installed first, vessel or light?
Does the Sun rise to fill in the absence of Moonlight, or rather is it the lack of Moonlight that creates the inspiration of its vessel, container of light?
(Based on the Zohar)

This timeless tale follows the flow in black and white, with few specks of ruddy-warm. The bewitching-dark night stands in still, mystical contrast to the milky-white house, symmetrically centered in its simple stable form on stage.
Geometric shapes will now act out the dialogue between feminine and masculine, draw the drama between the forces of life that forever struggle to compliment each other:
Feminine: circular, soft black balloon, hanging like a full moon, up above the house
Masculine: pointy, sharp angular triangular roof, edgy rectangular door, protruding
Feminine: curve and crave in sensual, spiral hip-stirred movements
Masculine: stride, high-strung, across the stage in "connect-the-dot"-like linear routes
Noa Wertheim's Mana. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
Both forces aspire to escape the hollow and reach the whole in this quest to be holistically contained and content. The visual image interlaced throughout the show is of a black balloon attached to a dancer, pulling her up, tall, stretching out for perfection, her white legs long and strong, trotting like a royal horse in a parade.
Noa Wertheim's Mana. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
At first glance, the fully dressed, almost orthodox, costumes communicate a puritan, reserved modesty. But quite quickly, a bare foot peeking under heavy garment, an escaping white shoulder, a curving contour, a tight waistline, a hip, lend to a sensual, lustful, communication. The free-fall back bends and suicidal leaps shatter the quiet, restrained recital.
Noa Wertheim's Mana. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
The music drapes the dancers like a fitted gown, in sync, in tune. I play the soundtrack CD over and over and give in to the lyric mood quietly setting in. Ran Bagno, who has been working hand in hand with Vertigo's mom and pap (Noa and Adi), wrote the score and played all the instruments, except for percussion, tapped by Dani Makov. I sit with Bagno over cappuccino on a sunny winter day in down town Tel Aviv and ask him about the creative process of piecing music for this show. "Unlike some other dances, Mana isn't a collage of fragmented scenes," he says, "rather, it's composed as a single, comprehensive piece. When Noa came out with the idea of a 'vessel holding light' I struggled to find just the right musical instrument to fit in…until I stumbled over my kid's old, abandoned guitar. Something about its virgin, broken, acoustic sound was perfect for infusing the muse."
Noa Wertheim's Mana. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
Watching the fluid flow of movement on stage, I'm reminded of Alexander Calder's art — capturing compound sketches in one single line stroke. The expression captured in Mana carries the visual aesthetics of calligraphy: fine brush, dipped in black ink, forms a black blotch over snow white paper. Then, in a single skilled hand, it drifts, pulling up tall, lying low, and spiraling all the way through.

One thought on "Vertigo Dance Company in Noa Wertheim's "Mana""
good grief, has anyone ever seen so much verbal drivel on one page, such linguistic masturbation. it's either impressive or it's not. damned if i'm going to read joyce with a compedium or watch a dance show with my face in an explanation. a little less horse manure, please.

And just when old-fashioned rickshaws were making a comeback!
Seriously, though, rickshaw drivers aren't likely to become victims of automation anytime soon. In the few cities in Japan where they still shuttle tourists around, rickshaws are as much personal guides to the city as they are a means of transportation. A good rickshaw driver will point out all the trendy places to visit, so that his (or her) passengers can visit them at their leisure later on.

My family and I have decided to move to Pennsylvania. We go to the Amish country area ever summer and have fallen in love with the country. We are from Edison, New Jersey and want to consider houses in York, Pa as well as Lancaster and much of central Pa. My children are a bit reluctant to move to the country because they are used to being able to go to New York City every weekend and do not want to be bored. I assured them that Amtrak has plenty of trains going to and from New York so they won't miss a beat. They are still trying to find excuses to stay in New Jersey. While I understand, my husband and I have always wished to own a farm and think this is our chance.
At first we went to several open houses in York, Pa and open homes for sale near Harrisburg, Pa. We have seen lots of adorable houses in Wrightsville and Hellam but we wanted to consider some Harrisburg homes for sale so we can be close to the city and our children will not miss New York City as much. Harrisburg has fantastic city life but lots of rural areas with hiking tracks, parks and farmland we could explore. No matter what, my husband and I decided we would search for homes for sale, Central Pa or even in Berks county so we would have plenty of space for our farm.
My husband and I want to have a Community Supported Agricultural farm (CSA) but before we can do that we should find a minimum of ten acres of land. Unfortunately, we won't be able to start growing without community support. We are searching for houses for sale in York, Pa because we have seen how tightly knit the areas in York are and hope to use that to our advantage. Thankfully, we won't be moving there without knowing anyone. If we are able to move to York, we have a few relatives in Bainbridge that will help us connect to the community and we will hopefully be able to begin farming sooner rather than later.
Between the two of us, we have a degree in agricultural science and business. I took agricultural science at Penn State before moving to Edison to be with my husband. Now that our children are almost grown, we are trying to live out our dreams. This worked out perfectly since I could manage the farming and he can properly sell and manage the business end. He has also been able to find terrific real estate in York, Pa. Since he has been doing the lion's share of the house hunting, I have been able to concentrate on the devices and supplies we need to start our farm. While I can not wait to see all the houses for sale in York, Pa and other areas I am more excited to actually begin growing all the plants and preparing the business for a lot of area supporters.

Intermodal Mobility Assistance for Megacities
|Esra Acar Celik, Marco Lützenberger, Marius Schulz
|Frank Hopfgartner, editor, Smart Information Systems, pp. 345-368
In this chapter, we present an approach to utilize means of transportation in a more effective and sustainable fashion in order to increase the quality of life in cities and to contribute to global environmental objectives. We describe a travel assistance system that proposes intermodal traveling options which are tailored to drivers needs. Different information channels are integrated in the system. One of these channels is information derived from video analysis. This analysis is based on a macroscopic approach using particular features extracted from video snapshots periodically captured from static traffic surveillance cameras.

Hey y'all! A few updates on a rainy Sunday night here in the 603:
Mike Swick feature in August's FIGHT! Magazine
One of the true joys in my writing career is my role as a contributing freelance writer for FIGHT! Magazine, the industry's top magazine for mixed martial arts (aka the UFC for you noobs). It looks slick, it's well-respected and they pay me. Win win all around!
One of the unique things about writing for print media is that you lose the timing aspect you get in today's internet world. This month's feature on UFC middleweight Mike Swick is a great example of that. I have to submit my articles roughly 5-8 weeks before they see the light of ink and page day.
A lot can happen in anyone's life in a month's time so part of the game is hoping that nothing too crazy changes between the time of submission to the time of print.
Mike was set to fight at this Saturday's UFC event in Brazil, 18 months after he last competed due to multiple injuries and a bizarre confluence of stomach issues that essentially made his body work against him.
As bad luck would have it, Mike hurt his knee and is undergoing surgery that took him out of the fight.
Of course, the August issue of FIGHT! hit stands with an awesome three-page layout with part of the focus on this comeback fight. I'm still proud of the feature and believe in it fully, but it kinda stings that the focus of the article had to pull out. Welcome to the print journalism world, folks.
In any case, pick up the issue which also features a great cover story by Chuck Mindenhall on Gray Maynard. Seriously, it's awesome.
Josh and John Pollock…reunited.
I'll always feel kinship to my friends at the Fight Network in Toronto, Canada — the same group where I had some of my first major radio interviews back in the day. One of the people I used to chat with is John Pollock, who is a fixture on the network and hosts a series of podcasts about combat sports.
It's been quite a while since I was on the show (March!) so I was glad to get a text from John Thursday night asking if I could come on the show and talk the UFC deal with Fox. We talked for nearly 30 minutes and I actually got a great column idea out of the interview. I love when that happens!
Here's the interview. Skip ahead to 70 minutes in to hear myself and John unless you want to listen to a review of TNA Impact.
Other Stuff
– In my real world job, I'm really liking my role as "editor in chief" of Dyn.com. We recently relaunched our entire site and rewrote/restructured all of the content, which was quite an exercise. To some, relaunching a site isn't a big deal but when you consider we were combining major traffic from a sister site into this one, it was a pretty big freakin' deal. Our email program is next up for review and some Nason-izing.
– I continue to drop in every few weeks on BloodyElbow.com with a guest editorial or quick-hit news bit. I actually kinda like the guest writer role as I stay free of commitments but still have a presence on one of the most heavily-trafficked MMA sites on the interwebs. Here's my latest for BE on my ideal UFC debut on Fox.
– I wrote an homage to Maura Tierney amidst a lot of bitching about Rescue Me.
– I still need to do something up on Grantland. The fact I don't go there as much as expected is telling.
– Finally, the WGAM MMA Show keeps plugging along. I feel like we're putting out a great product but we need more people to listen. (Duh statement, right?) It's a crowded market for MMA podcasts and shows, but we're really close to a breakthrough. We have UFC fighters on nearly every week and have talked to some big names. Still, we're at 12 likes on Facebook as of this writing which drives me slightly crazy. Damn social media.
Until later,

Chad O'Carroll has written on North Korea since 2010 and writes between London and Seoul.
Political candidates supportive of resuming engagement with North Korea appear set to benefit from Ban Ki-moon's Wednesday drop-out of the presidential campaign, observers familiar with the peninsula told NK News on Thursday.
In the short-term, therefore, it appears North Korea may refrain from pursuing tactics against the South which could undermine support for progressive candidates like Moon Jae-in, the left-leaning front runner.
"No conservative or centrist candidate will benefit permanently from Ban's withdrawal from the race," said Dr. Go Myung-Hyun of Seoul's Asan Institute on Thursday. "None of the remaining candidates opposing Moon has the level of name recognition and political stature that Ban had.
"There will be a #2 because there has to be, but the polling gap between Moon and him will still be very large," he added.
This means if South Korea's Constitutional Court decides to end Park Geun-hye's presidency in the coming weeks and trigger an election, conservative candidates opposed to engagement with North Korea will have a much more difficult time in winning public support.
"Conservatives now have about a month to find a candidate around whom to rally, but the infighting is unlikely to stop," said T.K. Park, who has blogged extensively about the ongoing political crisis in South Korea. "They were in a bind before, but they are really in the pits now."
All of South Korea's progressive candidates currently favor policies involving some degree of engagement with North Korea and closer ties with China, factors that – to the benefit of Pyongyang – could contribute to policy confusion with Trump's emerging Washington administration.
Of all progressive candidates, however, Moon has shown the most interest to date in re-engaging with the North, announcing various incentives and even going as far as pledging he'd visit Pyongyang before Washington should he become president.
"Moon's promise to reopen Kaesong and his opposition to THAAD are going to drive a huge wedge between ROK and the U.S., which North Korea would enjoy watching," said Dr. Go."(As a result), North Korea prefers Moon over other candidates."
But another observer said that in order to gain sufficient support following Ban's departure, Moon may have to moderate some of his positions on the North, at least as they relate to security.
"To those in the center and moderate right, (Moon) can appeal to them by keeping a centrist line on North Korea and be strong on national security, THAAD, etc," said Daniel Pinkston, a professor at Troy University's Seoul campus.
"He can make limited initiatives," Pinkston continued, "but unconditional aid, unconditionally reopening Kaesong…I think these are (now) out of the question."
Still, because left-leaning candidates have all shown interest in engaging the North, observers said Pyongyang is likely to demonstrate short-term restraint in its actions towards Seoul, in order to avoid pivoting support towards conservatives.
"I would think given the unpredictable state of U.S. foreign policy at the moment combined with Moon – probably their preferred candidate – they would do well to keep an understated South-facing policy," said Dr. Andray Abrahamian of Macquarie University, though noting China and U.S. issues could impact decision-making.
"An attack on South Korea would probably kill Moon's chances for good," added Dr. Go, noting any short-term North Korean ICBM launch or nuclear detonation to test the Trump administration could likely be excused by progressive candidates as being aimed at Washington, therefore not having much impact on their chances.
A key variable remains, however, in whether or not an election will soon even be called. "Some of this will turn on the decision of the court on Park's impeachment," said Pinkston.
"If she is exonerated and the election is held in December, the conservatives will have more time," he continued, however warning "they will be going against the public blowback and connection–real or perceived–to Park Geun-hye."
But should the vote soon goes ahead, the lack of campaign preparation time any new candidate will have to invest is going to complicate things for the conservatives, said Daniel Tudor, a long-time observer of South Korean politics.
"The election is now 'Moon Vs Whoever', and nobody else is prepared like Moon, who already has a big organization around him and has been working on his election bid for many months already," he said. "Conservatives will naturally feel helpless and horrified as Ban has taken up all their airtime and now they have to start over again."
But the removal of Ban could paradoxically complicate Moon's rise. "Within the Democratic Party (DP), we may see heightened competition now," he said. "The hype around Lee Jae-myung is (always was) overdone, but Ahn Hee-jung is a more viable rival to Moon," he added, referring to other left-leaning candidates.
"However, I'd still be very, very surprised if anyone other than Moon became the DP candidate, and ultimately I'd be pretty surprised if anyone other than Moon became president."

Our Way of Saying
Thank You
Things to do in Bangkok
Bangkok is a city that successfully blends ultramodern megamalls, steel and concrete skyscrapers, and hip dining and nightlife establishments with more traditional charms such as ornate golden temples, twisting canals and a buzzing street scene. After business is over, enjoy everything this vibrant city has to offer.
Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Visit one of the city's most historic and sacred sites, and the cultural and spiritual heart of Thai culture. Within the Grand Palace (http://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/The-Grand-Palace--52), you will find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, lavishly decorated with glass mosaic and colourful porcelain.
Wat Arun (The Temple of the Dawn)
Wat Arun (www.watarun.net), built around both Hindu and Buddhist influences, is one of Bangkok's best-known landmarks. It is the most visited and photographed temple in Bangkok – its towers glitter spectacularly in the sun during the day and are magnificent when lit up in the evening.
Chao Phraya River Cruise
See Bangkok from a different perspective on a relaxing cruise down the majestic Chao Phraya River. Nightly river cruises depart from the Saphan Taksin Pier and feature a traditional Thai dinner and live entertainment.
Lumpini Park
Named after Buddha's birthplace in Nepal, the capital's best green enclave was donated by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1925. The park (http://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/Lumpini-Park--108) is at its most interesting during dawn and dusk, when its pagoda and lakes are circled by joggers, and surrounded by fitness enthusiasts performing aerobics or Tai Chi.
CentralWorld and Pratunam Market
Catch the BTS SkyTrain and check yourself in at CentralWorld (www.centralworld.co.th), a one-stop mall that houses trendy shops, a gourmet supermarket, a couple of department stores and even a skating rink. A few hundred metres away, Pratunam Market (www.pratunam-market-bangkok.com) and the multi-level malls that surround it seduce serious shoppers with locally designed ready-to-wear fashion and accessories.
Wat Pho
Don't go home without seeing the magnificent 46-metre, gold-plated Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho (www.watpho.com). The sprawling temple complex also houses depictions of over 1,000 other Buddha deities including nearly 400 bronze gods in the temple hall. Wat Pho is also the site of Bangkok's oldest massage school – there's no better place to experience an authentic Thai massage.
Make time to visit, Chinatown where you can immerse yourself in forgotten temples, narrow alleys, exotic markets and sidewalk restaurants peddling some of the best food in Bangkok. You can also shop for good-quality gold, Chinese herbs and trendy fashion trinkets.

I am re-posting this from the Barefoot Doctors website. It's some good information on how to clear Correxit and other toxic junk from your body. I happen to know from other research that iodine, baking soda, and baking soda-epsom salts baths are also used to treat radiation poisoning and can also be used to detox form radiation exposure following x-rays, CT scans, airport scanners or whatever else. Iodine was used to prevent radiation-induced thyroid cancer after the Chernobyl disaster. (This is not medical advice, btw. Just pointing you in this direction to aid you in your own research. Go ask your local quack for advice if you get exposed to radiation)
The Protocols
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
adults: Drink 1/2 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in water (preferrably filtered or distilled) or juice, 3-4 times a day
children: 1/4 teaspoon dissolved in juice once a day
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) and Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salts) Bath
Dissolve at least one pound each of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) in a tub of hot water. Soak. Adults can take 500mg of niacin 30 minutes beforehand. Sodium bicarbonate and Epsom salts can be increased to as much as four or five pounds each for maximum benefits.
Food-Grade Bentonite Clay
adults: Once a day, dissolve one teaspoon of bentonite clay in a large glass of water or juice. Let stand for five minutes before drinking.
children: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of bentonite clay in glass of water or juice. Let stand for five minutes before drinking.
Drink lots of water, preferably filtered or distilled, during the day. If constipation occurs, add one or more (up to five) sprays of magnesium oil (see below) to a glass of water or juice and drink.
Food-Grade Activated Charcoal
500 micrograms to 1 gram per day. Can be taken in capsules or added to bentonite clay drink.
Magnesium Oil
Transdermal treatment for adults and children: Spray oil on the skin. Use as a massage oil.
Direct one (for children) to five sprays in mouth, or add to water or juice, for laxative if necessary.
[According to Mark Sircus, Ac, OMD, almost everyone today has a magnesium deficiency, and a magnesium deficiency will not show up in a blood test. See his video on the subject.]
Nascent Iodine
Apply transdermally or orally. This is especially good for children.
[Because nascent iodine is expensive, it will only be included at this time in kits in which there are special needs, particularly for children and pregnant women.]
Antioxidant Teas and Foods
The following are high in antioxidants: rooibus and green teas; blueberries; apples; fresh or dried dates, apricots, cranberries, prunes; red beans; pinto beans
[Rooibus tea is included in the Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors Survival Detox Kit, and, when possible, other foods listed above]

5th carpometacarpal joint dislocation
FOOSH from bike at 10kph. Now pain at 4th and 5th MC shaft.
Patient Data
Loading images...
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
The fifth metacarpal base is anteriorly dislocated, no longer articulating with the hamate. The radio-carpal joint and carpal bones appear anatomically aligned. No acute fracture is seen.
Case Discussion
An example of 5th carpometacarpal joint dislocation. This injury is often missed by the inexperienced reader which is why CMC joint alignment is an important check area when assessing hand and wrist radiographs.
The 5th CMC joint space should normally be seen on the AP projection as a thin space between the metacarpal base and the hamate, or sometimes there may be slight overlap of the bones. There should never be a large degree of bony overlap and certainly, the metacarpal base should not be seen anywhere near the triquetral as in this case. On a normal lateral projection, the metacarpal bases should largely overlap one another, without any single base significantly offset compared to the others.

Vaccinations will help keep your pet healthy and happy. Elam Animal Hospital follows the guidelines set by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) for the most current vaccine recommendations. We tailor your pet's vaccinations on an individual basis, depending on your pet's age, lifestyle, breed, size, and environment. Some vaccines are administered annually, while others are recommended every six months or every three years, depending on the vaccine type. Please call us today to learn more about our vaccine packages and to set up an individualized vaccination schedule for your pet.
We typically recommend these types of vaccines and preventatives:
- Distemper / Adenovirus / Parainfluenza / Parvovirus
These diseases are not only common, but they also represent a serious threat to your dog's life. Most dogs will encounter these diseases at some point in their lives, making this vaccination extremely important. A combination vaccination for all four diseases is recommended every three years after the puppy boosters.
- Rabies
This fatal viral disease affects all warm-blooded animals, posing a risk to humans as well as to dogs and cats. Puppies should receive their first Rabies vaccination between 12-16 weeks of age, with a booster administered at one year of age. Dogs should receive an additional vaccination every three years after the first year.
- Leptospirosis
This is a bacterial infection that attacks the kidneys, and is transmitted through the urine of wild animals such as raccoons and rodents. Dogs may contract this disease through contaminated puddles or outdoor water bowls. Leptospirosis is becoming a more common disease and can present a serious threat to your pet's health. Dogs at risk of being exposed should be vaccinated annually.
- Bordetella Bronchiseptica
This disease is commonly known as kennel cough. Symptoms include a dry hacking cough that may last six weeks or longer. This disease is caused by a highly contagious bacterium. Dogs are commonly exposed to the disease in boarding kennels, obedience schools, public dog parks, grooming facilities, and veterinary hospitals. Dogs at risk of exposure should be vaccinated yearly.
- Heartworm
Mosquitoes are capable of transmitting heartworms, making exposure very likely, especially in South Carolina. Your dog's monthly heartworm prevention also protects him or her against intestinal parasites that can be transmitted to humans. Heartworms can cause heart and lung disease, which can be fatal. Puppies should begin heartworm medication at eight weeks of age and should continue monthly treatment for the rest of their lives. Heartworm medication also serves as a monthly parasite control.
This is a combination vaccination administered every two to three weeks between 8 and 16 weeks of age. Cats receive a booster at one year, with additional boosters every three years. This vaccine helps to safeguard your cat against three viral diseases: Rhinotracheitis, a herpes virus; Calici virus, which causes upper respiratory infection; and Panleukopenia, also known as distemper. These potentially fatal viruses are all easily transmitted between cats.
- Rabies
This fatal disease affects cats in the same way it affects dogs and humans. The initial vaccination should be given at 12-16 weeks of age, with non-adjuvanted Purevax boosters administered annually. Some evidence shows that these one-year vaccines are less likely to cause tumors than adjuvanted three-year vaccines, therefore decreasing your cat's risk of developing sarcomas at the injection site.
- Feline Leukemia
This is an often fatal viral disease that suppresses the normal functions of the feline immune system and inhibits an afflicted cat's ability to fight off disease and infection. Transmission typically occurs through grooming, sharing water bowls, breeding, fighting, and contact with saliva. It is recommended that cats receive the first vaccination at nine weeks with a booster at 12 weeks, and a booster once a year thereafter.

Religion always has it's serious side, however by studying Zen Buddhism it is evident that the opposite side is just as important and has played a big role with the Zen masters and scholars throughout history. If you ever watched the Dali Lama he is always laughing about something. Those in the know suggest that the level of enlightenment allows you this luxury and really means if you knew what I knew about the afterlife— you would laugh too.
This also translates into: Don't take yourself too seriously and why even be concerned about earthy matters when all you need to do is live a good life and help the planet and everything will transform automatically.
When Steve Martin was the warm up act in Aspen, Colorado for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band he used to wear the arrow through his head and through clowning around would get everyone in the audience to laugh. Then their was deadpan silence from Steve Martin who belted out: " What are you laughing at—– you are all going to die anyway!"
The figure of the clown which stands out here in relation to the person of the master emerges just as clearly in the various tales of Zen monks at the point of death. The classic instance is that of Teng Yinfeng who, when he was about to die, asked, "I have seen monks die sitting and lying, but have any died standing?" "Yes, some," was the reply. "How about upside down?" "Never have we seen such a thing!" Whereupon Teng stood on his head and died. When it was time to carry him to the funeral pyre he remained upside-down, to the wonder of those who came to view the remains, and the consternation of those who would dispose of them. Finally his younger sister, a nun, came and, grumbling at him, said, "When you were alive you took no notice of laws and customs, and even now that you are dead you are making a nuisance of yourself!" With that she poked him with her finger, felling him with a thud, and the procession carried him away to the crematorium.
In this way Teng, assuming what, from the remarks of his sister, was the not unfamiliar role of the clown, expressed his achievement of spiritual freedom, his liberation from a desperate clinging to life and anxiety over self, and therefore his transcendence of the problem of death. There is here an element of both a promethean laughter in the face of death and a comic freedom within the larger freedom of enlightenment. The realization of an authentic liberation, as in so much of the Zen tradition, is attested by humor, and the symbol of that liberation is the paradoxical figure of the clown. —–ccbs.ntu.edu.tw
QUOTE: "Do not sweep the fallen leaves, For they are pleasant to hear on clear nights In the wind, they rustle, as if sighing; In the moonlight, their shadows flutter. They knock on the window to wake a traveler; Covering stairs, they hide moss. Sad, the sight of them getting wet in the rain; Let them wither away deep in the mountains."

THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW: In What Sport Did the Winners Win the Clothing of All the Spectators? During the 16th century, the Aztec Indians of Mexico played a game which was similar to our modern basketball. A large stone ring was placed high on the side of the stadium, and the players had to put a solid rubber ball through it.
The team with the greatest number of points was the winner and was entitled to the clothing of all the spectators at the game. The winning team was also entitled to the head of the captain of the losing team, who was executed. This tough game was called Ollamalitzi.—–bigsiteofamazingfacts.com

Specialising in rotisserie roast chicken to die for, LeCoq also has such a wonderfully relaxed ambience that even its littlest guests feel right at home
Roast chicken has always been a massive hit in my house, with my twins Kit and Natasha citing it as their all time favourite food, ever! So when the opportunity arose to visit LeCoq, a restaurant whose main claim to fame is its incredibly flavoursome rotisserie-cooked free range chicken, the children couldn't put their shoes and coats on fast enough. Luckily for us, we live just a 10-minute bus ride from the restaurant's St Paul's Road location – a once inauspicious street full of Indian takeaways and pizza joints but now home to several chi chi cafes and restaurants, with LeCoq situated just a few doors down from that other fashionable eatery, Trullo.
On the chilly November night of our visit, LeCoq stood out like a welcoming beacon where warmth and sustenance promised to be in plentiful supply judging from the animated diners that we spied through the large arched windows. Upon entering we were immediately captivated by the laid-back, relaxed vibe as a casually attired maître de greeted us with a welcoming smile and showed us to our wooden table nestled cosily in the corner.
Once seated our charming French waitress for the evening came over and greeted us before explaining the small but meticulously curated dishes on offer. On the set menu, which changes weekly, there is always a choice of three starters and three desserts, but so lauded is the Sutton Hoo chicken (poultry that's lovingly reared at Kennel Farm in Suffolk) it takes not just top, but only billing on the mains (other spit roasted delights are available on Sundays however). Acknowledging the smaller members of our party, she also explained the children's menu of chicken (white or brown meat or a mixture of both) plus roast potatoes cooked in the dripping juices followed by artisanal gelato better known to Kit and Natasha as ice cream.
Already salivating at the prospect of our imminent feast, we ordered drinks while my husband and I settled on starters. Once our order was placed and our jug of water and wine delivered, we settled back to enjoy the atmosphere (well we did, while the children, I'm ashamed to admit, played on our mobiles). Our senses were further aroused by the mouthwatering smell of slowly roasting chicken, a gentle reminder, as if one was needed, of the delights to come.
We'd opted for bresaola with rocket and Persian meatballs with pistachio and pomegranate to start. These were duly delivered to our table where they didn't remain for very long. Ineffectively trying to fend the children off, we devoured everything in just a few minutes. The rich burgundy-coloured bresaola was among the best we've ever tasted, while the meatballs, served atop harissa-flavoured yoghurt were simply sublime (I'm planning on replicating this dish at home).
Aware of our hunger (well who wouldn't be after our descending on the starters like vultures), the waitress was soon serving up the mains. The plates had barely touched the table before the children were tucking into their previously described meals, accompanied by a little jug of juices. Their silence, interspersed with the occasional "mmmm" says it all really. But in the interests of thorough reviewing I can happily report that whatever Kennel Farm is doing to those birds, they should keep on doing it (evidently it only allows 213 chickens per hectare of outside space, while the EU states that 10,000 can still be deemed "free range").
The resulting taste of these once happy chickens is beyond comparison to the watery, tasteless fodder that usually masquerades as such. Meltingly tender, the meat slid off the bone and had a flavour punch that veered just towards the right side of gamey. The skin was also a revelation. Generally none of us tend to like this part of the bird, finding it far too greasy, but in this instance it was irresistible, being beautifully brown and crispy and perfectly seasoned. The saffron rice dish that accompanied our mains was similarly faultless.
By this stage we were well and truly satiated, but with the children committed to their ice cream, we thought it only fair to join them by sharing a plate of cheese, a Le Cousin to be exact, and again lovingly sourced from the nearby La Fromagerie.
Our meal over, I nipped downstairs with Natasha to pay a quick visit to the ladies where we stumbled across the gorgeous grotto that is LeCoq's private dining room. All dusky hues with a glitter-ball style alcove and seating for up to 14, it would make an intimate and stylish venue for that special occasion, and what's more, it's completely free to hire. Come to think of it, I have a milestone birthday coming up in the not too distant future and now I know exactly where I want to celebrate it. We will be back!

Large aperture can be easily achieved by employing photon sieves fabricated on the stitching membrane, which are suitable for packaging and folding. We have done research to find out the image quality degradation caused by stitching. A simulation has been done to investigate the behavior of the stitching wavefront. pieces have been used as a model, and their wavefront error has been evaluated using the wavefront method discussed in this work. Besides, we find that the errors in the outer zones are more remarkable than in the inner ones of the same photon sieve. Testing and alignment directions based on this method are also mentioned in this work.

I love vintage packaging so when, on my most recent visit to the archives, I noticed some similar themes happening, was inspired to group them together and take some photos.

The "Summer Rave" nail color kit from Priti NYC captures everything we love about summer in these four yummy shades and while there are several fabulous collections on their website, this one is easily my favorite. Who could resist this combination of a happy yellow, exciting hot pink, soothing sea blue and energetic orange put together by the the beauty experts at Refinery 29? Aside from gorgeous colors, these polishes are also non-toxic and formaldehyde free so they're safe to use when you feel like giving your little ones matching manicures. Plus, it's quite a bargain as individually, each shade goes for 12.50 so it's like getting one free and that's always sweet!

Looking through my home library is hours of fun no matter what I'm researching, but there's no doubt I'm partial to the 80's and "winged" eyeshadow. Extending color past the natural lid is a great way to add drama to your eyes so why not try it for your next party? Shown here are photos from "The Complete Beauty Book" published in 1985, which means there's no shortage of over-the-top makeup ideas inside.
By the way, I also must confess my undying love for "press-on nails" because to me, they are just the same as putting on a pair of heels or lashes. My heart broke when Revlon discontinued theirs because they had the best, and although they still make "glue-on's", I just can't be bothered dealing with nail glue and I also haven't found any others I like as much. So, instead, I'm waiting patiently for someone to introduce new and improved versions which will hopefully include stylish oval tips and, if my inside sources are correct, it won't be long!

Now that we've finally entered summer, it's time to focus on what's really important this season- vintage swim caps! Back when women invested lots of time in rollers sets, swim caps were not just a fabulous fashion statement but a necessary part of glamour maintenance. I think today's woman spends equally as much time, if not more so, on hair color and styling processes so why not help them last longer with "Old Hollywood" style? Some brands to search for are Kleinert's, Jantzen and Playtex which you can find on cool specialty sites like Glamoursurf as well as from various sellers on Etsy, but act fast because they sell quickly! There are even "retro style" caps being manufactured today which give a similar look and feel without the higher price tag. Just be sure and do some research because they can often be mislabeled and you don't want to pay vintage prices for something that really only costs around $12 – 14.
Above are some hot styles from Glamoursurf and below from various sellers on Etsy (LOVE the hot pink cap with fab 60's original box from DrStrangeGoods!)
Below are some adorable retro style caps that come in lots of fun colors available at www.allswim.com
I've mentioned before in this blog my affection for dolls, so when I recently came across an old project from an Adobe After Effects class I took at the School of Visual Arts, I thought I would share it. While it's a bit simplistic overall and certainly no match for Blythe Theater, it does say a lot about me and my general sensibilities. With art being so subjective, I did get some mixed interpretations as to what this piece might be about and some even thought it was sad or scary. Can you imagine? That's so far off of my intention which was a story about a doll (played by the vintage Betsy McCall) who gets to experience the joy of one last dance with her friends who have all gone on to broken doll heaven- in a fabulous Busby Berkeley kind of way, but I'm sure you get that.

I was recently at The Makeup Show in NYC and with so many new brands and vendors there, I tried hard to stay focused and only get what I really needed. Most importantly, I told myself, "Do NOT buy any makeup brushes" as an inventory last week yielded a count of 305. However, once I layed eyes on these adorable Green Bambu brushes from bdellium, I just couldnt resist. Not only are they green in color, but also in the eco-sense as the handles are sustainable bamboo and the hair is an ultra soft synthetic which means they're vegan and cruelty free. However, it's the various shapes and sizes that really made me want them because they're perfect for blending and shading seamlessly.

If I could have one wish this year, it would be to look just like this ad for Chanel's Summer 2011 makeup collection. I must have this most perfect shade of pink accented here by a pop of yellow and framed in the dreamiest of blues. Oh- and the flawless face, sultry windblown hair, stunning green eyes and luscious lips wouldn't hurt either. Simply gorgeous.
Victoria Finlay's "Color: A Natural History of the Palette" is an amazing book and it not only changed the way I look at color visually, but how I value it both in a literal and spiritual sense. It's truly difficult to imagine that in our modern world filled with technology, where we can create almost anything with a computer, that we cannot always make or reproduce some colors. That's where this book begins- with the realization of that moment by a curious little girl.
When she was only 8 years old, Ms. Finlay was on a trip with her father visiting an old cathedral. While he is telling her about the stained glass windows being made 800 years ago, he also says, "and today we don't know how to make that blue." That shocking moment stayed with her until years later, still curious, she decided to explore places like Australia, Chile, Mexico and Afghanistan to find out where color really comes from. What she learns and shares is beyond fascinating and like I said- you will never look at color the same way again.

Bobby pins are usually just a technical need in the art of hairstyling, but I prefer to make them decorative. Any time I'm passing by a 99 cent store, I pop in because they often have some in various colors and on a really lucky day, with sparkles! The key is to use as many pins as possible so there is no mistake that they're a fashion accessory. Depending on my mood, sometimes I go with all one color, other times I mix it up. However, for more chic moments, I like all white pins for their severe contrast against my jet back hair.

Last week I had the honor of being guest blogger for the Color Association of the United States and my post was about- what else… lipstick! It included mention of the legendary Coco Pink, touched on my personal love of hot pink in general and noted my overwhelming joy that luscious blue-pinks are all the rage this Spring. However, since I didn't get around to mentioning products in this category, I am inspired to follow up now with some fabulous choices.
Nothing says sweet like a pinky cheek that leans to the blue side and shown here are two of my favorites. "Pink Hyacinth" Watercolor from Three Custom Color has a balmy texture for instant inner glow and Lorac's Baked Matte Satin Blush in "Flaunt" has just the right amount of silky sheen for a soft and sexy highlight. For lips, nothing but full intensity works for me and these shades suit my ever changing moods. From left to right they are "Bora Bora" from Three Custom Color, Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Intense "36", Maybelline Color Sensational "Fuchsia Fever" 140 and Sephora's Lip Attitude in GO8. Okay, so that last one is not HOT pink, but it deserves special mention because this lovely "lilac-pink" is one of my absolute favorites. Not just for the color, but also for the juicy texture and it's the closest I'll ever come to wearing nude!

Chosing your optional can prove to be one of the most difficult task especially with so many coaching institutes hailing a particular optional subject to have maximum overlap with GS, requiring least amount of time, maximum scoring potential etc.
Marks in the optional subject plays a decisive role in getting through mains and in the final determination of rank. For instance, even if you perform exceedingly well in all 4 GS papers you will get around ~400 marks (out of 1000) whereas with a good performance in your optional subject you can expect to get ~300+ marks (out of 500). Thus the optional subject has relatively more importance than other papers.
How to chose your optional in case of confusion?
Let's say you are confused between Sociology and Political Science. Then instead of knocking at the doorsteps of coaching institutes or taking advice from senior players, you should first pick up the NCERT textbooks of Class XIth and Class XIIth of these two subjects and give a quick reading. In this very first step you will start developing a liking for one of these subjects.
After that you should pick up the past mains paper of these subjects and try attempting few questions from them. You will now start getting a feeling of comfort and flow in either of these subjects. You will notice that you are able to come up with thoughts and ideas better in one of these subjects compared to other.
Don't succumb to rumours
Rumours and misinformation spread by coaching institutes, online forums and students are the biggest impediments when it comes to chosing a right optional.
I have seen students changing their optional because of the following factors:
- The optional is not considered to be a scoring one.
- There was no overlap with GS papers.
- There are very few takers for this optional.
- The subject undergoes heavy scaling.
- There are large number of books to be covered.
- The subject is getting butchered by UPSC in past few years.
- There is a lot of competition.
Nothing can be further from the truth. There is no optional which doesn't suffer from one or the other above mentioned short-comings. Once you have narrowed down upon an optional then religiously stick to it and put your mind and soul into it.
Past results have shown that students have got top 100 ranks with optionals like Agriculture, Veterinary Science, Zoology which have very few takers. It's not the popularity or difficulty but your attempts and performance in the exam that matters.

Medication is an essential tool in the clinician's armamentarium yet it is estimated that 50% of patients with a chronic health condition fail to adhere to prescribed treatments. This chapter outlines what we mean by adherence and the implications of nonadherence in chronic health conditions. Difficulties in measuring adherence are discussed, followed by a brief review of theoretical models used to explain nonadherence. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the major practical issues that affect patient adherence and strategies for clinical intervention.

KAMLOOPS - Construction is ready to begin on a new animal rehabilitation centre at the B.C. Wildlife Park.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place this week for the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, a project that has been years in the making, according to manager of education and special events David Edwards.
"We're really excited," he said. "It's been in the works for quite a long time."
The zoo, located just east of the city, is owned by the City of Kamloops. The addition was included in the zoo's master plan about 10 years ago, with private donors, such as Ron and Rae Fawcett whom the centre is named after, footing the bulk of the bill.
The centre is used to care for wildlife with injuries or ailments to rehabilitate them either back into the wild or into their new home at the park.
"We take them in, we give them the medical care they need, and hopefully release them," Edwards said. "A lot of our animals at the park are former rehabilitated animals."
The current centre is about 850 to 900 square feet in size, not enough room to supply the demand of about 300 or so calls per year from the public .
"It was just way too small," Edwards said.
The new building, set to begin construction right away, will be about three times the size with 'better everything' including a more effective use of space and more complete services.
The facility will house everything from birds to beavers.
"Whatever animal is around that needs help, we take," Edwards said.
The park encourages people to call the park before bringing an animal to the rehabilitation centre by phoning 250-573-3242.
The new centre is expected to be completed this fall.

Kerisa Wright wins PAN 2019 Grand Champion title
Kerisa Wright was disappointed when she did not make it among the top three winners in 2017. The White Horses, St Thomas resident took a leap of faith and decided to re-enter. Two years later, she emerged as PAN 2019 Grand Champion.
With tears in her eyes, the mother of two, who does her jerked chicken business on the streets of Springfield, clutched the winner's trophy and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am feeling great! I am excited and thankful. I went back to the drawing board and I did it right. I tried something totally different and it worked," said an excited Wright.
She won from a field of 27 other competitors at the PAN 2019 Grand Finals, which took place on Sunday, October 27, at Grizzly's Plantation Cove in St Ann.
"The biggest lesson that I learnt was to have faith. Just trust and believe in God," she shared.
The joy of seeing her two young daughters (seven-year-old Saria and three-year-old Chelsea) smiling each day serves as motivation to Wright. She says her daughters are her pride and joy and ensuring that their basic needs and wants are met, she continues to strive for a better life.
"Being a single mom, my daughters are very dependent on me. The proceeds from my pan chicken business is what sends them to school and takes care of their everyday needs," Wright explained.
For the past five years, Wright has been the proprietor of Girlie's Chicken and Soup Corner, a jerked chicken and soup shop which is located on the main road in White Horses, St Thomas. Later this month, she will open her very own restaurant on Springfield Road in Morant Bay.
Nicole Hall, assistant brand manager, CB Foods, is happy about Wright's win.
"I'm so proud of Kerisa, and to see how far she has come. She is a single mother of two and she has been working hard to advance her skills to come out on top. I am really happy for her," said Hall.
Wright won $350,000 cash from CB Foods, a year's supply of CB chicken, a year's supply of National Hardo bread, a year's supply of Miracle Ketchup, $150,000 from JN Group, and prizes from Red Stripe, Walkerswood, Nupak and Tru-Juice.
Omega Harris, brand manager for breads at the National Baking Company, expressed her company's appreciation in being a part of PAN 2019.
"We have been proud partners of PAN since its inception because we at National are always in full support of entrepreneurship and activities geared for a great family experience. And, to add to that, you cannot have PAN chicken without National Hardo Bread," said Harris.
She continued, "This partnership has allowed us to connect with our customers islandwide, and supporting the vendors, who are also our loyal customers, remains the highest reward for us. It's incredible to be on the ground to witness the pride as all the contestants showcased their talents. National congratulates the CB Foods team once again for showcasing the best of Jamaica's pan vendors and for another successful staging."

Client service can be a differentiator if it involves more than being accessible and delivering what your engagement letter promises. Here are three ideas to help separate you from the pack
1. Deliver Relevant Information.
This isn't about info related to a matter. And if you're serious about being a trusted advisor you know your clients warrant more than a bulk email "alert" and a complimentary CLE event. Become a regular conduit of information relevant to the client's business or market. And don't settle for an email blast. Superior service is delivered with a personal touch.
2. Be A Connector.
Virtually every business person places high value on the right connections at the right time. Find those places where your network intersects with the interests and concerns of your client(s), and you've found an important way to differentiate your brand of client service.
3. Put Skin In The Game.
Extraordinary client service goes beyond counsel in your area of expertise. It includes being plugged in to what is important to your client. This may not have anything to do with a legal issue. It might be charitable or community organizations, social initiative, or even personal hobby. An eloquent way to serve the interests of your client is to Identify an area of interest or concern, and become involved by giving time, resources, and influence.
Apply these 3 ideas in order to move client service from cliche to a tangible asset.

Uganda Christian University Partners
Uganda Christian University Partners supports Uganda Christian University through student scholarships as well as funds for university building projects, technical equipment, and the library.
The university's mission is to prepare students for "thoughtful, productive lives of Christian faith and service in their respective professions and places." The university is located in Mukono, Uganda, near the capital city of Kampala.
Since its founding in 1997, thousands of students have enrolled at the school to take courses in education, business, social development, and law. Currently, Uganda Partners provides some scholarships to 300 students mostly from Uganda and several from the Sudan, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo. The current annual enrollment is about 6,500 students.
Most of these students live in dormitories on campus, which are overcrowded and in need of expansion. The current library facilities, too, are inadequate. The students need a new library so they can read the textbooks they cannot afford themselves, and so they can use the Internet to pursue knowledge.
Uganda Partners is committed to helping to expand the campus and facilities in order to accommodate the growing enrollment, develop student and faculty exchange programs, and help to enhance the image of the university as an institution of quality education. We also plan to increase our scholarship offerings.
