I love the work all state roofing does. Great work both personality and work wise.
Tony did my roof in Brewster Place and we love it! We now need
another roof on another home of ours and we are contacting him again.
I can't speak about roofing but...These guys built a bar from scratch and it matches my other countertops beautifully. They were very thorough and cleaned up every step of the way. Matched my paint and all. Super friendly, they even bought me lunch! Best guys ever, cannot recommend them enough. I am extremely happy with the work that was done. Could not be more satisfied. 10/10 would hire again.
Received urgent call from a summer rental client. His wife had lost her diamond earring down bath sink. I was in Maryland and knew no one to fix this situation. Finally , we called Anthony ...whom we knew from prior emergency and construction work at our complex. This guy knows how to do any repair work ...large or small. He removed sink trap...found elusive earring and made one lady very joyous with the recovery. Rental tenant paid him and all turned out very satisfactory for all. Thank you Anthony.
We purchased our ocean front beach condo in Carolina Beach in 2016 -- the condo was part of a complex built 32 years earlier, and very little had been work done to upgrade the unit over that time. In that first year, we had both bathrooms gutted and rebuilt; plus, we had the rugs removed and replaced with all new flooring in all rooms but the two bedrooms. On recommendation from other unit owners, we contracted that work with Allstate Roofing (Anthony Gonzales), and we were sufficiently satisfied with the workmanship and price, that we contracted with Allstate again, in 2017, to replace both of the original glass sliding doors and all of the windows. Later that same year, we had Allstate build custom hurricane shutters for the two large sliding doors. And, again, based on their excellent work and pricing, we had Allstate install all new counters and cabinets in the kitchen in the spring of 2018. We would not have continued to use this same contractor, if we were not totally satisfied with their performance. On a more personal note, the kitchen upgrade occurred while my husband under went shoulder surgery, and there was a lot of personal work that was required in order to get the condo ready for our summer time renters. I asked Anthony to take care of a few extra things, simply because my husband couldn't get to them with the surgery. And, within a week, they were done! Sometimes it may take a bit longer than I would have thought...but true to his word, it gets done. And that speaks very highly of him, as well as his work.
After so many companies turning me down due to being overbooked or way out of my price range, Allstate roofing fixed my roof and gutters not only in a timely manner but also cleaned up after themselves and tony really worked with me on price. I would highly recommend this company 5 stars all the way.

The big news in Black Bear Nation over the last week was the passing of legendary UMaine baseball coach John Winkin. Winkin's death comes just over a year after the passing of another past UMaine coach, former men's basketball coach Rudy Keeling. While Keeling did not experience the success nor the longevity of Winkin, he was, nonetheless, a groundbreaking figure in the history of UMaine athletics.
As part of our Fill The Steins Summer Session series, we are proud to present our piece from last August profiling the late Coach Keeling. So, while you're standing and drinking that toast to Coach Winkin, make sure you top off your glass and tip one back for Coach Keeling as well!
Rudy Keeling is one of four men who have coached the University of Maine men's basketball team in my lifetime (Editor's note: thankfully, that number is now five). Despite being 17 years removed from the end of his tenure patrolling the UMaine sidelines, and despite not being the coach when I actually attended the school, he is still the coach I most closely associate with the program. That's because Keeling was the head coach during my formative years as a sports fan while growing up in nearby Bangor. Even though his UMaine coaching career ended with an overall losing record, he brought a level of success to the program that had never been seen before. That's why, like many Maine sports fans of my generation, I was so saddened to learn of Keeling's surprise passing last month.
The odds were against Rudy Keeling from the very beginning at UMaine. Not only was he the university's first African-American head coach, but he was also tasked with replacing Skip Chappelle, a man who was well-liked in the UMaine community and well-respected within college basketball coaching circles. Combine these factors with the reality that Keeling was always going to play (at best) third fiddle on campus to more popular and accomplished coaches like Shawn Walsh and John Winkin, and it was hard to see a clear path to success. Keeling, however, forged that path, doing so the best way he knew how – by building relationships with people.
"He had a tremendous smile that lit up a room," said Lee Goldberg, current Sports Director at WCSH-TV in Portland and former Sports Director and lead UMaine men's basketball announcer for sister station WLBZ-TV in Bangor during the latter part of Keeling's tenure with the Black Bears. "He was always smiling, always positive, and a great communicator to his players. The guys liked him. They didn't do things for him because he told them to. They did it because they respected him."
Keeling's people skills and communication skills extended beyond his players. They extended to the media and to supporters of the program, remembers Goldberg.
"When he was talking to you, he was interested in you. He was invested in you," said Goldberg. "I always felt like he was invested in me when we had a conversation. He always seemed interested in me. I enjoyed every moment I spent with him."
Keeling's strong interpersonal skills were also a key component in his ability to be a talented recruiter who brought in players from markets into which the Black Bears had not previously tapped.
"He had a fantastic connection as a basketball recruiter in the Midwest and brought in some great talent from that part of the country," said Tim Throckmorton, Sports Director at WABI-TV in Bangor.
The talent Keeling brought in, coupled with his ability to communicate with and get the most out of his players, helped Keeling lead the Black Bears to the first 20-win season in school history in 1993-1994. That season, the Black Bears also reached their conference championship game, falling just one win short of their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance.
In 1996, Keeling left UMaine to become the head coach at former conference rival Northeastern, and later served as Athletic Director at Emerson College and as Commissioner of the ECAC, before his passing on July 6 of this year.
Even though the later part of his career was spent in other athletic endeavors in the northeastern part of the country, Keeling is, rightly, most remembered for his contributions to the University of Maine, for defying odds that were stacked against him, and for bringing the UMaine men's basketball program to respectability. For those reasons, we "stand and drink a toast" to Harold Rudolph "Rudy" Keeling, and to the winning smile he always brought to "the college of our hearts always!"
What are your memories of Rudy Keeling and his time as the men's basketball coach at UMaine? Share your thoughts in the comments section below or on Twitter using #FillTheSteins!

Across the U.S., high school and middle school students are exploring their world and creating interesting map products with ArcGIS Online. Esri now challenges students to create and share maps about something in their home states, working to be among the best in the school, state, and nation. The ArcGIS Online US School Competition 2017 is open to high school (gr.9-12) and middle school (gr.4-8) students in the U.S who can analyze, interpret, and present data via an ArcGIS Online presentation, web app, or story map.
In 2016, Minnesota conducted a state-focused competition, and Arkansas followed suit. Now, Esri offers to all states the chance to participate, with grants to states supporting ten equal prizes of $100 for the five best high school and five best middle school projects in the state. Schools can submit up to five projects to the state, and participating states submit to Esri the ten awardees (5-HS and 5-MS), with one project each at high school and middle school tagged for a final level of competition. One high school project and one middle school project will earn a trip to the 2017 Esri Education Conference in San Diego, CA.
Esri seeks state teams to conduct each state's competition (limit of one team per state). Minnesota managed it with just a handful of educators (fans of GIS in education from school, college, and the state) to set up and operate it, and a handful of GIS professionals to do the judging. Team leaders can apply using this form ((with the competition now over, the form has been unlinked)). (Contact Charlie Fitzpatrick [below] if your state is making progress but needs more time. Collaboration, commitment, and proven experience working across the state is required.)
The US K12 GIS story map has key resources, including (in map#2) full 2017 results, visible also here. (Use navigation tools, and click on states and point features.)
Contest Details:
- Eligibility:
- Entrants must be pre-collegiate students registered in grades 4-12, from public schools or non-public schools including home schools, under age 19, who have not yet received a high school diploma or equivalent.
- Students can work singly or in teams of two, but can participate in only one entry. Teams with one student in middle school (gr.4-8) and one in high school (gr.9-12) must be considered as high school.
- Entries must come from a recognized school or home school, even if the entrants are working on the entry in an out-of-school club.
- Any school or home school program can submit to the state a maximum of five (5) entries total, counting the sum of middle school and high school entries.
- Entries:
- Entry forms (student/s to school, school to state, state to Esri) will be made available to state leads in January 2017
- Entries must be from an ArcGIS Online Organization account. Any US K12 school (including public, non-public, or home school) can request from http://www.esri.com/connected#school an ArcGIS Online Organization account for instruction for free.
- Entries must be an ArcGIS Online "presentation" or "web app" or "story map".
- Entries must focus on content within the state borders. States may choose to further refine the focus, but the geographic scope of the project must be within the state. The project may reference data outside the state "for context," but may not extend the focus of the study beyond the state borders. For example, broader patterns of environmental characteristics or demographic movements may be referenced for context, but the focus must be on phenomena within the state.
- Schools must announce their own internal deadlines, in time to complete judging and provide information to the state by its deadline. States must announce their in-state deadlines, but can be no later than 5pm Pacific Time on Fri May 19, 2017. States must submit data to Esri no later than 5pm Pacific Time on Fri May 26, 2017.
- Awards
- Esri will announce its awards decision by 5pm Pacific Time on Mon June 5, 2017
- Esri will provide a travel grant to one high school team and one middle school team, each team consisting of the student(s) and at least one parent/guardian (could be teacher/rep). Awardee teams must agree to attend the Esri Education GIS Conference ("EdUC"), arriving by 10amPT Sat July 8, and staying through at least 4pmPT Tue July 11, 2017. Awardees will be responsible for handling any tax implications, be personally identified including name and photograph, and post a graphic in the Esri User Conference ("UC") Map Gallery on Mon. Awardees will be recognized at EdUC on Sat and UC Map Gallery on Mon, and likely have additional attention.
- Design/Judging Criteria
- Entries should be analytical in nature, map-centric rather than photo-centric.
- Entries must be visible without requiring a login. Entries engaging "premium data" (login required, such as Living Atlas) must set up the display to permit access without needing a login. See helpful note.
- Entries must be "original work by students," but may use data generated by outside persons or institutions, within guidelines of "fair use." (Students are encouraged to use appropriate professionally generated data, but the integration, treatment, and presentation must be original.)
- Entries must provide two links in "short URL" format (e.g. http://arcg.is/1A2b3xyz), one linking to the item details page and one linking to the display page. (Users can create a short URL in "arcg.is" format at http://bit.ly. Esri created a relationship with bit.ly so that any URL string that has [anything].arcgis.com/[anything] will be turned into a short URL formatted as "arcg.is/[shortstuff]".)
- National scoring rubric. The state can vary this, and even create slightly different rubrics for HS and MS, but must apply the same rubric to all entries in a single grade band, and the rubric must be clarified for the schools at the start. The national competition will use this rubric (100 points):
- (5) topic is clearly identified, meets state's criteria, focuses on content within state borders
- (10) overall presentation within the "map product" is effective in informing about topic
- (20) cartography is effective, facilitating the viewer's grasp of individual elements of the topic and story
- (20) data used is appropriate -- engages an adequate volume and array of clearly significant elements, does not exclude clearly significant elements, does not include irrelevant elements; 5 of "total data points possible" are to be reserved for rewarding the creation, documentation, and inclusion of one's own data [0=none, 1=little/weak, 2=some/modest, 3=satisfactory, 4=much/good, 5=most/excellent]
- (20) geographic analysis is evident, appropriate, effective (classification, symbolization, filtering, geoanalysis); the "map product" is not "simply uniform dots/lines/areas on a map" nor "simply pictures"
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
- Schools should consider issues around exposing PII. See http://esri.box.com/agoorgsforschools for strategies for minimizing PII. Teachers should help students minimize exposure of their own PII and that of others, including in map, image, and text.
- States must help potential entrants understand the level of PII required. Entries submitted to Esri for the top national prize (i.e. 1-HS and 1-MS) must agree in advance to expose student names, school names, and school city/state (homeschool students would be identified to closest city/town name).
- Esri will not seek, collect, or accept student names for any entrants other than the national prize entrants (1-HS and 1-MS per state). These and only these will have names exposed by Esri.
- Schools should consider issues around exposing PII. See http://esri.box.com/agoorgsforschools for strategies for minimizing PII. Teachers should help students minimize exposure of their own PII and that of others, including in map, image, and text.

In 2019 December 22nd is the shortest day of the year, and the longest night. Tonight the Sun dies and tomorrow it is reborn.
This is the night of Druantia, the white goddess, the Celtic tree goddess, the moon goddess, the triple goddess of Birth, Love and Death, the muse of the Celtic poets. Queen of the Druids, Wiccans and Neo-Pagans. Virgin, drudge, whore, muse, hag and crone. Daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, fertile cornocopia or barren spinster. She is the queen of the faeries and she is personified as a Wren.
In Celtic Druidic tradition the "Hunting of the Wren" was a ritual to see out the old and see in the new as the darkest day of winter passed. The Christian Church in Ireland worked hard to eliminate the Celtic practice of Goddess Worship. They made the wren into a traitor, who revealed the hiding place of St. Stephen who was then stoned to death.
To Juan at the Winter Solstice; by Robert Graves
There is one story and one story only
that will prove worth your telling,
whether as learned bard or gifted child;
to it all lines or lesser gauds belong
that startle with their shining
such common stories as they stray into.
Is it of trees you tell, their months and virtues,
or strange beasts that beset you,
of birds that croak at you the Triple will?
Or of the Zodiac and how slow it turns
below the Boreal Crown,
prison to all true kings that ever reigned?
Water to water, ark again to ark,
from woman back to woman:
So each new victim treads unfalteringly
the never altered circuit of his fate,
bringing twelve peers as witness
both to his starry rise and starry fall.
Or is it of the Virgin's silver beauty,
all fish below the thighs?
She in her left hand bears a leafy quince;
when, with her right hand she crooks a finger, smiling,
how many the King hold back?
Royally then he barters life for love.
Or of the undying snake from chaos hatched,
whose coils contain the ocean,
into whose chops with naked sword he springs,
then in black water, tangled by the reeds,
battles three days and nights,
to be spewed up beside her scalloped shore?
Much snow if falling, winds roar hollowly,
the owl hoots from the elder,
fear in your heart cries to the loving-cup:
Sorrow to sorrow as the sparks fly upward.
The log groans and confesses:
There is one story and one story only.
Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
do not forget what flowers
the great boar trampled down in ivy time.
Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
Her sea-blue eyes were wild
but nothing promised that is not performed.

Master P Offers To Start A New Football League With Colin Kaepernick
Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)
(AllHipHop News) This week news broke that Colin Kaepernick is suing the NFL. The one-time Superbowl quarterback accuses the league's owners of colluding to keep him from being signed by a team.
The free agent has not played this season with some people speculating it's because he started the kneeling protest during the national anthem. In an interview with TMZ, Hip Hop mogul Master P suggests Kap should take another approach to get back on a football field.
"They're gonna have to start their own league," said P. "Maybe Kaepernick, if he wants to stay in shape and play in our basketball league, or I'll help him start his own league."
The No Limits Records founder added, "Maybe that's what I'll do next, start the football [league]."

Mallet Shaft for a Surgical Application
As a member of the medical manufacturing community, McCormick Industries provides the extra level of precision needed to manufacture the most reliable and safest medical device components. We manufactured the shaft highlighted here for a mallet used in surgical applications. One of the challenging aspects of this project involved providing a smooth, blemish-free surface finish on the final product.
Constructed from high strength 17-4 stainless steel, this mallet shaft featured overall dimensions of 9.163″ in length x .709″ in diameter. As one of our core strengths, we have the technical capability to leverage the speed and precision of our high-end Swiss machinery to produce parts with very close tolerances. By choosing the best tools for cutting stainless steel, we formed the complicated features including flanges, fillets, grooves, and radii. A high-pressure coolant system, which prevented heat build-up during machining, allowed us to achieve very fast cycle times. Also, without excessive heating, the tools retained their cutting accuracy for a longer period of time, which reduced overall tooling expense.
Secondary operations involved sanding and polishing with a buffing wheel. This allowed us to create a highly polished surface, free from any nicks, dings or scratches. Producing a smooth finish was a critical part of the operation, as minor abrasions could likely serve as a hiding place for potentially dangerous pathogens, putting patients at risk for infection. In addition to accomplishing the exceptional surface finish, we held a tolerance of ±.002″ on the diameter and ±.002″ on all critical features.

When I was growing up, Christmas morning started warm and magical. We clambered to the living room in our pajamas. My self-cut curly bangs were usually vertical and my acne was shining bright. My brothers and I unpacked our stockings while my mom photographed it all. Usually by mid-morning, someone had made a rude comment, doors were slammed, and someone was crying. Things settled down again by the afternoon and we reconvened to share a holiday meal. Year after year, this was our tradition.
The holiday season is a mixed bag. We know what we love about this time of the year, and we know what we don't love. Whether it's seeing our family explode, the grief that tends to surface around this time, the financial stress, or any number of issues that arise, that emotional stress can be really intense. We bury it in our busyness, eat the stress amid the holiday decadence, or party it away during the festivities. However, that stress doesn't disappear, it goes deeper into our body. Our lower back or neck tension may be aggravated. We may get belly aches or indigestion.
Despite what is swirling around us, we can always reconnect with ourselves. Taking a breath, one inhale and one exhale, and simply acknowledging how we are feeling can make a shift. After you ask "how am I feeling?" then inquire "where in my body am I feeling this?" From that point, you can address the physical tension with self-Reiki, self-massage, some light stretching, or gently visualizing the area softening or melting. This will help move the stress or anxiety in the moment.
For moving deeper emotional patterns that surface during the holidays, Reiki is a beautiful way to offer relief and detox the emotions. Clients often look physically different after their Reiki sessions, a lot lighter and brighter. They tend to gain clarity when situations are not emotionally charged or over stressed. Decisions and actions are simpler. We can connect with the ones we love and express ourselves for who we are. Isn't that what we truly desire? When we clear out all that stuff, we can enjoy the holiday season for all the reasons we love.
If you feel like you need extra support around the holidays, Caroline is available to help. Caroline works in Northampton, MA and has office hours Monday-Friday, including daytime and evening hours. Reach out with questions at email@example.com.

A New Invention Transforms Automobile Waste into Ink
A New Invention Transforms Automobile Waste into Ink
If you use some form of ink in your daily life, hold on to your seat because you may be able to extract it directly from your car's tailpipe in the very near future. Thanks to one MIT grad, Anirudh Sharma, exhaust from vehicles can now be transformed into a valuable resource instead of a harmful pollutant.
As car exhaust emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carcinogens, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and tiny particles of metal and soot into the air, it is no wonder that automobiles are responsible for more than half of the air pollution in the nation, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Growing up in Delhi, Sharma grew accustomed to the coat of soot his clothing would accumulate throughout the day, and while studying at the MIT Media Lab, he wondered if this carbon-rich waste could be put to better use.
With partner Nikhil Kaushik, Sharma co-founded Graviky Labs and developed a soot trap, Kaalink, named after the Hindi word for black, which fits over the exhaust pipes of most cars and diesel trucks.
"Each one can collect up to 95 percent of the pollutants emitted from a tailpipe including lung-punishing particulates," Sharma told WIRED. "One Kaalink can collect enough carbon to produce one fluid ounce of ink, enough to fill a pen, in about 45 minutes."
Once the soot is collected, it undergoes a purification process to remove metals and carcinogens before being blended with oils to create several types of inks and paints, including printer ink and spray paint. As reported by CNN, "In a recent partnership with Tiger Beer, Graviky Labs tested its soot-based product in Hong Kong – which is known for its high pollution – and put it in the hands of local artists." These artists were then invited to paint murals with the ink in the Sheung Wan district.
Not only a potential saving grace for environmentally minded artists, Kaalink has the potential for a real and lasting impact.
"Air pollution is responsible for 1.6 million deaths in China each year, according to a new study from nonprofit Berkeley Earth," Discovery reported. "And although still in the developing stages and planning for growth, Graviky Labs is looking to combat the issues of industrial pollution by scaling Kaalink to collect soot from chimneys, while aiming to alleviate forms of asthma, respiratory problems, and pre-mature deaths linked to particle exposure in the long term."
"Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value," Graviky Labs quotes R. Buckminster Fuller on their website. As an eco-focused company, Duggal applauds the innovative efforts of Graviky Labs.

Ravioli Revisited: Ricotta and Currant Ravioli
While at work, I just came to realise that I have watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind quite a few times, many times, in fact. Maybe not as much as I have watched The Princess Bride or Dirty Dancing, but that is only because time has allowed that figure to accrue. Not that I would ever divulge how many times I've watched Dirty Dancing, it's too embarrassing to recall and even you dear reader would be ashamed of this astronomical figure (I can just imagine all the men cringing at this thought). Don't worry I can feel the collective shaking of heads right now. Let's just say that one too many summers were spent at various friends's air-conditioned houses watching these classic chick flicks. So probably not enough times to quote the scripts verbatim, however I do have to gag myself from sporadically blurting out my favourite lines to avoid threatening death glares from companion viewers.
I think what I liked about ESOTSM was the concept of the story and the effortless banter between the characters. I loved how it used the concept of memory and asked the question of what happens if your memory of an event were to be erased; if faced with the same set of situations could you expect a similar outcome? Anyway, I digress, is this not a food blog? I can just imagine some hapless internet surfer chancing upon this blog, thinking I just wanted to see me some food, what has this movie got to do with ravioli? Well nothing really, this is just one of my many habitual rants of the random persuasion.
Let's just say, when I like a movie I like to revisit it, a lot and I think the same goes for food, especially with food that I make myself. If I have even an acute measure of success with a cooking venture, it is bound to be repeated and repeated until it can be repeated no more. Well I found out not too long ago that I really enjoy making fresh pasta. Although not all chronicled on this blog, my forays into pasta making have been profuse. Pasta-making has become like those ubiquitous reruns of The Sound of Music and Bewitched; it is guaranteed to be making an appearance somewhere near you.
This particular ravioli was inspired by Sydney gourmet pasta-makers Pastabilities. They give away samples of their ravioli at the Pyrmont Grower's Market deep fried, not boiled, like how you would normally expect to see or eat ravioli. It is always a treat coming to their stall, squeezing through the throng of fellow tasters with the unyielding intent of trying one of their unique raviolis, deep-fried to a crisp. Then the ritual of puffing air at the piping hot ravioli's begins. The things are virtually impossible to eat straight away whole, as the filling is scorching hot. My customary routine is to bite off part of the shell to expose the hot filling and then proceed to puff away at the thing until it has cooled just enough that it doesn't burn the flesh off my tongue.
This deep-fried Ricotta and Currant Ravioli requires an accompanying disclaimer before you eat them. For one, they are very hot, and secondly they are incredibly addictive. I do urge you to make them, however I accept no responsibility for any injuries that occur while cooking and eating them. Once deep fried, the blistered exterior puffs up and transforms into a golden brown envelope. They are certainly cute to look at, but even better to eat. Now I understand how unpleasant it is to fry, let alone deep fry. I have already expressed my contempt for frying anything but make the exception with these things; they will be worth the blisters afterwards.
Ricotta and Currant Ravioli
Basic pasta recipe can be found over yonder.
350g fresh ricotta
3 tbsp icing sugar
½ cup currants
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp orange zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
extra icing sugar, for dusting
To make filling, simply combine the following ingredients in a bowl and set aside in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
On a flour-dusted bench, lay you pasta sheets lengthways.Heap a good amount of filling onto the centre of each sheet at one end. Repeat this all the way along the sheet at 5cm intervals.
Using a pastry brush, dipped in a little water or egg wash, evenly brush the pasta around the mounds of filling.
Fold the pasta sheet over, covering the mounds until the two ends meet.Push out any air by cupping the filling and extracting the little air bubbles that form.
Using a knife, pizza cutter or crinkly cutter, trim the sides of the ravioli.
The pasta can now be deep fried immediately, or it can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for 4 weeks.
Use vegetable oil or a vegetable oil blend for frying.
For best results use a thermometer, temperature should be around the 180˚C mark.
If pasta is frozen, do not defrost before frying.
Ensure that the raviolis are tightly closed so they do not burst while frying.
Do not overcrowd the fryer, allow some room for the raviolis to move around.
The ravioli will only take 30 seconds or less to fry, as soon as they turn golden brown remove them from oil immediately.
Drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Dust with icing sugar before serving.

How anti-war Muhammad Ali puts Barack Obama the warmonger to shame
Boxer Muhammad Ali went to jail rather than be drafted in the US Army to fight in Vietnam: "My conscious won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn't put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father... Shoot them for what? ...How can I shoot them poor people, Just take me to jail."
What Muhammad Ali said about the Vietnam war could be applied just as much to the wars Barack Obama is fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and elsewhere.

The CEM25P Equatorial Mount w/ 1.5-Inch Tripod w/ Hard Case by iOptron:
This center-balanced iOptron CEM25P Mount is an upgrade to the CEM25 iOptron Mount, and neatly exceeds the previously established level of quality proven by that mount. It now boasts a guaranteed low periodic error of ~+/- 10 Arc seconds or less, without sacrificing any of the traits that made the original a great mount.This improved accuracy is a natural result of the advancement of the techniques used to manufacture the R.A. Gears of these mounts, as iOptron grows ever more skilled at crafting these splendid devices.

This comes in handy when having to set up at a remote location. Additional features include an adjustable counterweight bar to avoid interference with the tripod and polar alignment that is quick and available at all times since it's not impeded by the declination shaft.
The CEM25P is outfitted with the most advanced GOTONOVA, GOTO technology, making it one of the top GoTo mounts on the market in terms of power and accuracy. Its database features more than 59,000 objects. With its large 4-line LCD screen, the GoToNova controller is a user-friendly tool that streamlines the process of setting telescopes and finding objects in the night sky.

6 reasons we're on the lookout for black rhinos in Kenya
Black rhinos in African have suffered huge reductions in the past, mainly due to poaching. Listed as Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List, there are currently about 5000 animals remaining in the wild (there were 65,000 in 1970).

Your Lifestyle Products Ltd have recently launched Hi-Cell Active, a potent blend of essential vitamins and nutrients to boost the immune system.
Gatwick, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 4 February 2014
Melbourne scientists have discovered that the immune system is constantly fighting cells that are potentially cancerous reports Nature World News on Friday 3rd February 2014. According to the scientists, the cells within the body are continuously changing, and some are even potentially cancerous. However, these cells never grow to the deadliest potential as the immune system quickly detects and kills them regularly. (http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/5855/20140203/immune-system-kills-blood-cancers-daily-basis-researchers-find.htm).
The researchers investigated the development of B-cell lymphomas and discovered that the immune system played a prominent role in controlling the cancer. The random mutations that occur in the immune B cells occur as a result of the normal function. However, Dr Axel Kallies says, "Our finding that immune surveillance by T cells enables early detection and elimination of these cancerous and pre-cancerous cells provides an answer to this puzzle, and proves that immune surveillance is essential to preventing the development of this blood cancer."
Your Lifestyle Products Ltd commented on this article, "Thank goodness, at last some good news about our body's intrinsic ability to defend itself against certain types of cancerous cells. The immune system performs such wide range of vital processes, we need to look after it the best we can!"
Your Lifestyle Products Ltd have recently launched Hi-Cell Active, a potent blend of essential vitamins and nutrients to boost the immune system. The orange flavoured syrup contains Vitamin C and B12 to help support the normal function of the immune system.
Like Robin to his batman, Hi-Cell Active provides a helping hand to the immune system.

If you're just sending out one email to prospective candidates you're really missing out. All the emails are also short and simple to follow, which makes it simple for the recipient to read and respond. Individuals are also more inclined to open your very first email only because they recognize your name. The very first email is typically geared towards learning more about the organization and establishing a relationship with a business representative. Using my private email that's available everywhere signals that the recruiter actually did some research about me. Clearly, you have to send an eloquent email speaking about how you are able to help your prospect and also nail your value proposition.
Sometimes, you can get an email with the exact same Google Hangout invitation. Whatever needs a lengthier email probably shouldn't be an email in the very first location. From time to time, the simplest emails get the ideal response. Or as soon as an email is so vague do not have any idea precisely what the company does and the reason why they wish to talk to you. In addition, the email someone receives also is somewhat more expected.
While you may not be interested in what he is offering, you need to admit that it's flattering to find the call. Furthermore, the call to action can cause conversations with the very men and women who will produce the choice to hire you! The call to action in the aforementioned cold email is an easy confirmation question. Compress delays as much as possible, the experience is only going to be better. You'll also likely understand the word prospect. To take advantage of what cold emailing must offer, you've got to forego your fear.
Terrific folks are rarely actively trying to find a job. While the job may entail more income or a greater title, you need to show up and do that job each day. If you can discover work that enable you to be, for instance, an assistant to a CEO, TAKE IT. By all means, your work is to be sure the possible hiring managers. If you wish to receive a job in a well-known company, do your very best to fulfill their standards and to present yourself accordingly.
The recruiter doesn't know a lot concerning the provider so he gives you its site address. If you're thinking well, recruiters should just try more difficult to review every resume no matter the format, then you might be right, but that's not really the reality. Every once in a little while, the phone rings, and it is a recruiter on the opposite end. The recruiter may supply you with additional insight or details that could be extremely beneficial. He tells you to wear business attire. He cannot explain why you were matched to the job, even when you say you have no prior experience in that particular field. Recruiters advise job seekers that answering the phone is the smartest choice, and you need to make every effort to achieve that. Impressing recruiters can be hard though. Therefore the recruiter may have a look at your experience in a speedy and simplified manner. Especially gifted recruiters also contain the word hiring in the topic line.
If you know somebody at the business, reach out to them. If you don't know someone at the organization, see whether you know somebody who does. You should add something which demonstrates that you're following the provider. Besides emailing, reach out to the company on social networking, especially if the business is small. Make clear you are aware of what the organization is about, and you're way more inclined to earn their consideration. You're intrigued by the posting, but wish to be certain it isn't your existing company that you are applying to, and if it's a competitor, you would wish to be mindful. You're able to utilize CrunchBaseand AngelListto find interesting businesses to apply to.
Simply following some basic strategies and making certain adjustments could be sufficient to make your cover letter much superior than before. It should let the recruiter know that you will be calling within a week to follow up on the position. The cover letter is the most important tool to entice the recruiters' interest. In addition to that, your cover letter might even make it in the hands of the individual you addressed it to! The steps that it requires to write and deliver a physical letter buy you a bit of moment.
If you're interested in the candidate, show a particular interest in the candidate in the manner in which you write. Below you can locate a candidate's answer. Email can be a really efficacious way to reach out to prospective candidates especially when you're utilizing a hands-on recruiting strategy.

Civil War Blocks, 16, 17, 18, & 19
I've been getting a little sewing time in again and slowly plugging away to getting caught up with my Civil War blocks. I've been working in the yard for several hours everyday and then trying to sew for a few hours also. Our temp today was 89-90 degrees but our heat index was about 106. I think this was probably the most humid, muggy day we have had this summer. Awful!!! It got too hot, too soon for me this morning, when I did come in, I was shot!! Really takes the "whatfor" out of you.. Okay, on with the Civil War blocks.
Here is my version of #16 White House
#17 Comfort Quilt
#18 Union Square
Now we come to #19 Missouri Star. I am less than happy with this block! I have been starching all my fabrics to keep them from stretching and to keep them stable. I was hoping that when I cut them, they would be more accurate and easier to sew. I use a 1/4" foot and check my seam allowance regularly. This block just didn't come out very good and it really frustrates me!! Last night, I definitely was going to do this over and see if I could get it to come out better. Now, I'm thinking, I could put it in a Primitive category and just "let the hide go with the hare"!! If I would use this one several of the points would be cut off when I join the blocks together in the end..Do you think hand piecing would be a better way to go when I re-do it?? I'm going to add it to my pile of finished blocks and when I get caught up, I will decide what to do, make it over or just leave it as it is. What would you do?? Sew until next time, have a "Stitches" kind of the rest of the day.....

A Common Green Darner....
http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/green_darner.htm . How can I become so enthralled about a dead insect? Maybe because it's wings look like gossamer. ( I heard that word somewhere and I think it sounds good and I wanted to use it!!) The wing span is 4" and the body from head to end of tail is 3". God did a really good job on this one!!
I perched her on my African Violet, kind of like an embellishment, I believe. And then I got to thinking when I took the pictures of the CGD about some other dragonflies that I have. Here is a little glass garden marker I made a couple of years ago. A group of us went to a stained glass shop and made these. You start out with a blank piece of glass and decorate or design yours, however you want it. The glass I chose has an iridescent color to it and adds a lot to the piece. I liked my flowers when I got done but they needed a dragonfly coming to visit them. I really like how this turned out. It was fun, fun!!
Earlier this spring, I went to a garden open-house and bought this lavender dragonfly for my garden. It shimmers in the sun and is very comfortable where it lives now.
And then I have this dragonfly fabric that I just HAD to have. It is Awakenings to Spring by Maywood Studio. I have a pattern that used this for the background and the top was all appliqued flowers and leaves. I waited until this fabric was SO hard to find that I searched the net for what seemed like days before I finally found it so I bought 8 yards!! That has to be about 10 years ago and I still haven't used any of it. I guess the "hunt" was better than the "find"!! Now I think of it as almost "vintage" ;-), I find it hard to decide what I really want to do with it..do any of you ever have this problem with your stash? I think I could use suggestions to get over this anal habit that I have with my fabric..this is my no means the only fabric that I have hoarded in my basement. I think that about covers my dragonfly subject for today. I hoped you learned a thing or two about them and enjoyed the ride...Sew until next time, have a "Stitches" kind of day....

Genocide at the Dawn of the 21st Century: Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo and Darfur
Dale Tatum, lecturer, Africana Studies
Genocide at the Dawn of the 21st Century: Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo and Darfur arrived this year from Palgrave Macmillan with its review of political reactions to repeated outbreaks of mass murder. At the end of World War II, the international community deemed genocide as a crime against humanity. Yet Tatum, a member of the university since 2006, explains why genocide began to happen in the 21st century and the United States has been ineffective at preventing it. "While all this politicking has gone on," he said, people's lives have been lost. Very often, nothing is done." The creation of Tatum's second book (the first was 2002's Who Influenced Whom: Lessons from the Cold War) was rooted in a sense of frustration when there was little public awareness of genocide despite graphic pictures and stories that began to appear in the world media. "I felt the whole issue was being avoided," he said. "People did not seem to pay attention." One of the goals of his new book is to raise public awareness of genocide. "One way I want this book to raise awareness of genocide as a world issue is by looking at such institutional failures as the failure of schools to empower their students by making them aware of such issues. Today's students need to be aware they can influence foreign policy. Americans think domestically. If there is unemployment or inflation, we rally to put pressure on the government. But with respect to foreign policy issues, very often, Americans don't do anything because they are not aware. I feel American schools could do a better job of making their students aware. I hope books like this help students realize they can make a difference with respect to foreign policy." Tatum has an A.B. in political science from UC Berkeley and an A.M. and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan, the latter of which he received in 1990. Tatum hopes his new book helps to make Americans more aware of the world around them. "People can empower themselves," he said. "They have the ability to change things. If the American people want change, they must be the initiators."

In taekkyon the hands move constantly in a circular motion. Repetedly changing direction to suit the situation.
The circular movemnets of the hands help to parry, by diffusing strikes and kicks, as well as trapping an opponent's arm or leg.
In this instance of trapping arms and legs, it is easy to apply joint locks. Thus, the rotating of the arms as in taekkyon is important. And for this reason, practitioners of Hapkido would benifit greatly from learning this rotating arm technique.
As the arms constantly move in circles, and are constantly changing direction, they are adaptive to changing situations. And it is not difficult to change from parrying(defense) to striking(offence).
The hands/ arms move to a rhythm. This rhythm used is irregular, slowing and speeding up. It is usually a 3 beat but changes to a 1, 2, or 4 beat are common.
