It’s a busy, hectic world we live in today, with the hustle and bustle of city living and increased pace of life in the countryside exposing us to different pressures than those our ancestors were used to. The world is evolving at a rapid pace and our bodies have to work to keep up. Our bodies are faced with daily demands. These can be external, like job pressures, deadlines, family commitments or financial obligations, or internal like allergies, intolerances or emotional pressures. The way we live our lives means that sometimes we rush around and don’t take time to eat properly or think about our food. A large proportion of the population eat more junk food than is considered healthy. Statistics also show that as a country we consume excessive amounts of alcohol and there has been a decline in the amount of physical exercise people are taking.
A balanced, nutritious diet is the first step in arming yourself with the right nutrients however Biocare offers a range of supplements to help provide people with nutritional support during demanding times, or for those whose diet may sometime be lacking. The supplements produced are high quality and have been developed to enhance absorption and ensure all ingredients are compatible with the body’s normal metabolism. Biocare supplements have ranges for women, men, children and indeed people of all ages and this range are all specific nutrient complexes with a key role to play.

This paper appeared at the 6th IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 97). The version that appeared there is available in gzipped postscript and postscript.
I presented this paper at AT&T Research in April 1997. Here are the slides I used (gzipped postscript).
The submitted version of this paper was been published as U.C. Berkeley Technical Report CSD-96-922 (gzipped postscript).
The abstract, introduction, and conclusions are below.
We develop a workload model based on the observed behavior of parallel computers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the Cornell Theory Center. This model gives us insight into the performance of strategies for scheduling malleable jobs on space-sharing parallel computers. We find that Adaptive Static Partitioning (ASP), which has been reported to work well for other workloads, is inferior to some FIFO strategies that adapt better to system load. The best of the strategies we consider is one that explicitly restricts cluster sizes when load is high (a variation of Sevcik's A+ strategy).
For batch processing, jobs do not share processors, but rather allocate a cluster of processors exclusively and run to completion . Many of these machines also have an interactive partition that uses timesharing, but this paper only addresses scheduling strategies for batch partitions (pure space-sharing). In the environments we have observed, the vast majority of computation is done in batch mode.
Many jobs on these systems are malleable , meaning that they are capable of running on a range of cluster sizes. On the other hand, the programming models used for scientific applications usually do not generate jobs that can change cluster sizes dynamically . Thus, once a job begins execution, its cluster size is fixed.
In current systems, users choose cluster sizes for their jobs by hand, and the system does not have the option of allocating more or fewer than the requested number of processors. The factors that should influence the choice of a cluster size include the characteristics of the application (resource requirements), the load on the system (resource availability) and the performance requirements of the user (deadlines, desired throughput, etc.). But users generally do not have the information, tools, or inclination to weigh all of these factors accurately. Allowing the system to make this decision has the potential to improve system utilization and reduce users' wait times.
Toward this end, prior studies have proposed allocation strategies that choose automatically how many processors to allocate to each job. Most of these studies evaluate the proposed strategies with analysis and simulation based on hypothetical workloads. Each of the strategies we consider in this paper has been evaluated, under different workload assumptions, in at least three prior studies. One of these compares the performance of these strategies over a wide range of workload parameters, and argue that the discrepancies among various studies are due to differences in the hypothesized workloads.
The goal of this paper is to focus this debate by constructing a new workload model based on observations of space-sharing systems running scientific workloads. We intend this model to cover the range of workload parameters most relevant to current workloads and hence most applicable to real systems. By narrowing the range of workload parameters, we are able to examine the proposed strategies in more detail and gain insight into the reasons for their success or failure.
One of the strategies recommended in other studies (ASP) did not perform well for our workload. We show that this policy is too sensitive to short-term variations in system load. It performs worse than simple FIFO strategies that use application characteristics to bound cluster sizes.
The application characteristics we examined, average and variance of parallelism, are useful for choosing the upper bound on cluster size (and thereby imposing a lower bound on efficiency). We found, though, that strategies that considered variance of parallelism were no better than those that considered only average parallelism.
The processor working set, or ``knee'' of the speedup curve, is not an optimal processor allocation.
It is not necessary to set maximum cluster sizes precisely. There is a tradeoff between large clusters/long queues and small clusters/short queues, but within a wide range, system performance (measured by average turnaround time) does not vary greatly.
Of several strategies with equivalent turnaround times, Sevcik's strategy, which uses a priori knowledge about system load to restrict cluster sizes, yielded the lowest slowdowns. Depending on what metric matters most to users, this strategy might be the best choice.
One of Sevcik's underlying assumptions---that cluster sizes should decrease linearly as load increases---has been validated. The other underlying assumption---that jobs with a more variable parallelism profile should allocate fewer processors---has been contradicted.
Lifetimes for batch jobs on supercomputers are distributed uniformly in log space. Our uniform-log model is useful for summarizing these distributions and generating simulated workloads. The observed distributions have coefficients of variation in the range 2--4.

ZOMBIE FORECLOSURES head to extinction | Episode 66 | REI.Today - Real Estate Investing Today!
I’ve got an important announcement: the ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE may be over. At least, the foreclosure zombie apocalypse, that is. And unfortunately, it’s not necessarily good news for real estate investors. I’m Carole Ellis. I’ve got all the details on the official end of the foreclosure zombie apocalypse today, in episode 66.
So what sounds like the best post-housing-crash news EVER that could end up being bad news for your real estate business: this formal announcement from RealtyTrac. According to the real estate data giant, vacant “zombie” foreclosures – properties that have no real owner and have been allowed to stagnate vacant on the market by lenders that started the foreclosure process but never completed it – are fading fast. In fact, the number of properties in “zombie foreclosure” has fallen by 30.1 percent over this time last year, making fewer than one in every 20 foreclosed houses an actual zombie.
Why is this potentially bad news for real estate investors, and how should you start adjusting your “game” to deal with the end of this dystopian phenomenon? I’ll get to that in just a minute, but first, I want to tell you about something else that is NEW and a whole lot brighter – literally – than zombie foreclosures: a fully solar-powered community that is presently under construction in the sunny state of Florida. The development, called Babcock Ranch, will eventually be home to about 19,500 homes that are fully powered by the sun and that do NOT have solar panels. It’s a huge labor of environmentally-friendly love mixed with a healthy eye to profit, and you are going to love learning more about this self-described “town of the future.” I’ve got all the details in the News and Networking section at www.rei.today, so head on over there and check it out.
According to RealtyTrac, fewer than one in every 20 foreclosed homes in the national housing market today is actually a ZOMBIE FORECLOSURE, and that’s a big improvement for markets all over the country that suffered some serious blight as lenders, realizing that they had a vested interest in NOT being fully responsible for the thousands and thousands of homes that they’d foreclosed on in hard-hit areas of the country during the housing crash (think Detroit, for example), opted to abandon foreclosure proceedings on those homes and just let them sit. Since in most cases the homeowners had already left, those properties basically fell apart (and sometimes right back into the ground; I visited Detroit and Flint, Michigan, in 2012 and huge portions of those cities at that time were nothing but ghost towns) and they took neighboring property values right along with them. Now that the national housing market is in recovery mode and just about everywhere is better off than it was in the wake of the housing and financial crises, lenders are starting to go ahead and finish up the foreclosure process on those zombie properties, either cleaning them up or knocking them down and creating space for new development.
Now, many real estate investors say that they feel like the end of zombie foreclosures means that they missed the boat. After all, how easy would it have been to negotiate with a bank to take a property off its hands that it clearly didn’t care about enough to finish taking ownership? Well, the reality is, it wasn’t actually that great! So don’t you DARE use this as an excuse, ladies and gentlemen! Here’s the thing: those banks couldn’t be BOTHERED with those properties. They didn’t WANT to deal with them. Now that they’re actually willing to foreclosure and throw them up on the market, they’re actually making markets more affordable and accessible in a lot of cases both to first-time homebuyers and investors. In fact, senior VP at RealtyTrac, Daren Blomquist, pointed out just last week that the death of the zombie foreclosure market in areas like Miami and New York is actually making those markets more accessible by relieving the quote PRESSURE COOKER of escalating prices and deteriorating affordability (end quote) in those areas and others.
This means take a look at days on market, sales price, and how those homes that are selling are looking. This means: are they all HGTV dressed up to sell at top dollar or is there an active investor community? What do you need to plan to do in order to participate in this area?
Take a look at off-market options. There are SO MANY WAYS to get great homes at deep discounts via off-market purchases and working directly with motivated sellers. And no matter what ANYONE tells you, there are always off-market homes available. If you don’t believe me, check out an old, old episode (number 2!) in the REI Today Vault and see how one of my early guests gets major action in the hot, hot market of Miami using off-market strategies.
Finally, take some action. And I know you’ve heard that a thousand times, but seriously, people, it’s the only way to make money in real estate! Go to the vault (rei.today/vault) and look at episode #2 and also take a look at today’s episode’s list of markets that still have plenty of zombies to go around while you’re there. If you’re not yet a member, text REITODAY no spaces no periods to 33444 and I’ll get you in there right away.
Either go to www.rei.today/vault or text REITODAY no spaces no periods to 33444 and I’ll immediately send you the information you need to get that access and ALSO provide you with fast, immediate access to all sorts of great trainings, news coverage, interviews, and lot more timely information that will help make your investing safer, faster, and more profitable.

Douglas Alexander, a physics junior at Loyola University New Orleans, is training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as a fundraiser to support physics programs in New Orleans area schools. His goal is to raise enough money through his nonprofit, “Climbing Kilimanjaro for the Physics of Tomorrow,” to purchase and distribute packages of physics demonstrations for approximately 27 public/charter high schools in Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard Parishes. Money raised will provide schools with physics equipment like force tables, resonance tubes, electronic balances and ballistic pendulums.
Alexander plans to climb the mountain in July and hopes to have the physics equipment donated in time for the 2012-13 school year. Since he began taking pledges and donations in December, he has raised enough money to buy equipment for three schools, McDonogh 35 College Preparatory High School, Martin Luther King Jr. High School and Thomas Jefferson High School.
He wanted to share his love of physics with New Orleans area high school students whose schools didn’t have basic physics equipment. Alexander noted that while in high school, his physics classes didn’t typically showcase fun experiments. Things exploded in chemistry labs and animals were dissected in biology labs, but when it came to physics, Alexander said that all students are exposed to are a lot of confusing math problems. So the idea was born to use his planned climb of the mountain as a way to raise money to purchase physics equipment for schools in need.
“Hopefully these classroom enhancements will make the subject of physics slightly less intimidating and more interesting to the students. The next Nikola Tesla or Albert Einstein may be right here in New Orleans,” Alexander said.
Those wishing to donate can do so through Alexander’s website, www.nolaphysics.org, where donations can be made through PayPal or by check. People can sponsor a school for $350, which will cover the cost of three pieces of physics equipment, or they can make an individual donation at any level.
For more information or to schedule an interview with Alexander, contact Meredith Hartley in Loyola’s Office of Public Affairs, at mhartley@loyno.edu or 504-861-5883. Those who wish to learn more about the fundraiser may contact Alexander at nolaphysics@yahoo.com.

Acetate, also known as ethanoate, is the salt of acetic acid (vinegar). It is formed when acetic acid is deprotonated. Its chemical formula is CH2COOH- when it exists as an ion. Acetate salts turn brown when heated, and smell like acetic acid.
Acetate is usually found as part of a compound formed as a salt, for example sodium acetate, often as the product of a neutralisation reaction of acetic acid and a base.

Last week was the week of the Nordic tour. It consists of four world cup Races in Lahti, Trondheim and Oslo. All in one week. It was my first world cups this season. Unfortunately I was not in my best shape. Still not completely recovered from a week of illness after the races in Klingenthal. Result-wise it was disappointing, but overall a cool experience.
First time in Lahti, first time Trondheim has had nice weather four consecutive days and awesome weather and a lot of people watching the race in Holmenkollen.

In the previous article, we described the SMS 2.0 Software Update Services Feature Pack. Here, we review its latest incarnation, as implemented in the recently released SMS 2003. We will conclude this overview of Microsoft's solutions in this area with a discussion of its recent trends in patch management strategy. For our final look at Microsoft's patch management solutions, we overview the latest iteration of SMS 2.0 SUS Feature Pack, as implemented in the recently released SMS 2003, and discuss what's next on the vendor's patch management road map.
SMS 2003 Advanced Client was made available for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 platforms. The new client leverages the latest technologies to be more robust and efficient. The installation software is packaged in the Windows Installer (MSI) format, which offers self-repairing capabilities. Communication with SMS infrastructure is handled via HTTP with XML-based policy files, and distributed software can be cached locally, allowing for downloads over slow and unreliable network links. Downloads are further improved by implementing Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), which communicates with Management and Distribution Points hosting IIS 6.0 components (requires Windows 2003 server).
New types of server roles operate better in the distributed environment for which SMS is intended. Roles include Server Locator Points (providing information about site structure to newly installed SMS clients), Management Points (serving as communication channels between Advanced Clients and Site Server, relaying status and inventory information in one direction and software installation instructions and agent configuration settings in the other  like Client Access Point servers for standard clients), and Reporting Points (IIS-based Web sites generating reports based on SMS resident inventory information). Like its predecessor, SMS 2003 includes Client Access Points and Distribution Points.
The capability to create Local and Remote Roaming Site Boundaries (for Advanced Clients only) indicates locations (in terms of IP subnets) outside of the SMS infrastructure and primary network locations. They therefore should be treated differently when performing operations requiring good connectivity, such as software distribution. Local Roaming Site Boundaries contain IP subnets connected via high-speed bandwidth. This not only allows for better handling of software distribution but also prevents the SMS Client from inadvertently changing its site membership. Note that full roaming capabilities require Active Directory schema extensions, which should be carefully considered and planned for, especially in the Windows 2000 environment (where they trigger full Global Catalog refresh).
A single SMS primary site can contain up to 100,000 Advanced Clients. The recommended maximum number of Advanced Clients for a single SMS secondary site is 1,000  assuming proper design and the inclusion of such components as Network Load Balancing and replicas of SQL Server SMS database.

June 25: North Korea invaded South Korea. Simultaneously, North Korean troops made an amphibious landing at Kangnung on the east coast just south of the 38th parallel. North Korean fighter aircraft attacked airfields at Kimp'o and Sŏul, the South Korean capital, destroying one USAF C-54 on the ground at Kimp'o.
John J. Muccio, US ambassador to South Korea, relayed to President Harry S. Truman a South Korean request for US air assistance and ammunition. The UN Security Council unanimously called for a cease-fire and withdrawal of the North Korean Army to north of the 38th parallel. The resolution asked all UN members to support the withdrawal of the NKA and to render no assistance to North Korea.
When Paik began issuing orders, his three regiments were disposed as follows.
The 12th was at the parallel near Kaesŏng, outflanked by the train borne NKPA soldiers and apparently overrun.
the 11th was in reserve near Sŏul.
This NKPA attack was powerful and determined, but the main attack came as expected, in the Uijŏngbu Corridor. Two full NKPA divisions, each spearheaded by forty T34 tanks and other mechanized vehicles and supported by 120mm howitzers, hit the ROK 7th Division. The ROKs reeled, recovered, then mounted a surprisingly stout defense.
Farther east, in the hills of mid-Korea, elements of two other NKPA divisions simultaneously struck the ROK 6th Division. As with Paik's 1st, only two regiments were on the line; but as it happened, he had not issued any weekend passes, and these regiments were at full strength. Besides that, the ROK 6th Division had unusually good artillery units. Its forward elements, some fighting from concrete pillboxes, held, giving the commanders time to rush the reserve regiment forward from Wŏnju, forty miles south. The division inflicted harsh casualties on the NKPA regiments and might have held longer, but the collapse of the ROK 7th Division at Uijŏngbu exposed its distant left flank, also forcing it to withdraw.
There were two other subsidiary D day NKPA attacks on the extreme flanks.
West of Paik's 1st Division, on the Ongjin peninsula, which juts into the Yellow Sea, a strong NKPA force attacked the lone 17th ROK Regiment, commanded by Paik's younger brother. One ROK battalion was overrun and decimated, but the other two evacuated as planned (the ROKs correctly did not consider the peninsula defensible) on three LST's.
On the opposite side of Korea, on the mountainous east coast bordering the Sea of Japan, the NKPA simultaneously hit the widely dispersed and under strength ROK 8th Division, both frontally and by multiple amphibious assaults on its coastal flanks. Caught in a well executed land-sea envelopment, the division was powerless to mount an effective defense, and was soon forced to withdraw.
During these well planned and well executed quadruple assaults the NKPA Air Force was out in full force, about 100 planes. Some of the bombers attacked Sŏul and its airport, Kimp'o, causing panic among the civilians. Some of the fighters bombed and strafed ROK Army forces. But the NKPA Air Force's contribution to the battle was slight. Contrary to the predictions of Roberts and Muccio, the ROK soldiers did not panic; they all but ignored the planes. Of far greater menace and effectiveness were the Russian T34 tanks. The NKPA made a mockery of Roberts's judgment that Korea was "not good tank country." The T34s rolled southward, easily and relentlessly, creating terror and panic among most ROK units. But not all. About ninety of Paik's 1st Division troopers died valiantly in suicidal attempts to destroy the tanks with satchel charges and other makeshift explosive devices.
Eastward across the peninsula, Ch'unch'ŏn, like Kaesŏng, lay almost on the Parallel. Ch'unch'ŏn was an important road center on the Pukhan River and the gateway to the best communication and transport net leading south through the mountains in the central part of Korea. The attacks thus far described had been carried out by elements of the NKPA I Corps.
The 7th Regiment of the ROK 6th Division guarded Ch'unch'ŏn, a beautiful town spread out below Peacock Mountain atop which stood a well-known shrine, Nocheon-ri, Sutasa, with red lacquered pillars. An other regiment was disposed eastward guarding the approaches to Hoengsŏng. The third regiment, in reserve, was with division headquarters at Wŏnju, forty-five miles south of the Parallel.
Lt. Col. Thomas D. McPhail, adviser to the ROK 6th Division, proceeded to Ch'unch'ŏn from Wŏnju in the morning after he received word that the North Koreans had crossed the Parallel.
The first official word of the North Korean attack across the border into South Korea reached Tokyo in an information copy of an emergency telegram dispatched from Sŏul at 0925, 25 June, by the military attaché at the American Embassy there to the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, Department of the Army, in Washington. [04-1] About the same time the Far East Air Forces in Tokyo began receiving radio messages from Kimp'o Airfield near Sŏul stating that fighting was taking place along the 38th Parallel on a scale that seemed to indicate more than the usual border incidents. Not so surprising, it was Nichols's terse report from Sŏul on the morning of June 25, 1950, that gave MacArthur's headquarters its first official notification of the North Korean invasion. Northwest Airlines, with Air Force support, operated Kimp'o Airfield at this time.
"You had better get back to Korea."
Colonel Wright left Church at once and telephoned Colonel Greenwood in Sŏul.
"future course of hostilities may depend largely on whether the United States will or will not give adequate air assistance."
But at 1700 hours the Yaks returned. Two. of them strafed Kimp'o, hitting the control tower, a gasoline dump, and an American Military Air transport Service (MATS) C-54 which was grounded with a damaged wing. Four other Yaks strafed the Sŏul Airfield and damaged seven out of ten trainer airplanes which the ROK Air Force had there.
Flying back to Washington the next morning, [6/24/1950 0900 - 6/24/1950 2200 Korea] Truman ordered an immediate conference of his diplomatic and military advisers around the large mahogany dining table at Blair House, 1651 Pennsylvania Avenue, diagonally across the street from the White House. By the time they convened, there were more messages from Muccio, all of them discouraging. Among other things, a strong PA tank column was driving toward Sŏul, and Kimp'o airport, apparently advancing at will. "South Korean arms," Acheson concluded, summing up the situation, were "clearly outclassed."
The Fifth Air Force training Field Order testing the aerial defenses of Okinawa was still in progress with a Flight "D", SB-17 accomplishing a reconnaissance to Okinawa and return.
It is apparent, at this time, that Flight "D" will need assistance in all categories of materials and personnel. At the present time all emphasis is being placed on evacuation of American Nationals, utilizing Kimp'o Airfield at Sŏul and Suwŏn Air Field (37° 15' N 127° 00' E).
One (1) of our C-47's has been pressed into duty for that purpose. SB-17s are orbiting round the clock to provide rescue coverage for evacuation ships and fighter aircraft that are furnishing top cover. These SB-17s are orbiting at Cheju-Do (33° 28' N 126° 30' E).
At 2100 hours on the 25th Colonel Price telephoned Fifth Air Force operations that he was prepared to execute the evacuation operations plan beginning at 0330 hours on 26 June, a time which would permit the first C-54 to arrive at Sŏul's Kimp'o Airfield before dawn at 0512.

Los Angeles—Warehouse No. 1 at Barker Block has sold out, making it the fastest-selling residential project in Downtown Los Angeles. The Kor Group announced the sellout of the property after selling 68 lofts in less than six months for $42 million, at an average of close to $600 per square foot. That figure established a new record for the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.
Housed in a renovated and restored early 20th-century factory and warehouse of Barker Brothers Furniture, Warehouse No. 1 features one- and two-story lofts.
The Kor Group saved the building’s original details, including exposed brick, heavy timber beams and columns, wood and concrete floors. In the renovation and repurposing, Kor Group added environmentally friendly, modern conveniences, but meticulously preserved timeless and historic character.
Kor added a number of distinctive amenities for prospective buyers. These included a dynamic arts and events space called Warehouse No. 1 Gallery, featuring a versatile social environment with hand-made hanging chairs. Additional amenities include an inviting, garden-themed outdoor lounge with green canopy, water fountain, fireplace, grills and intimate seating areas.
An open-air courtyard with luxuriant greenery is invested with unique features such as hammocks and love seats suspended from rafters, and decorative lighting that delivers bountiful style and enchantment.
The Kor Group’s expanded sales and marketing division played a critical role in implementing the vision for Warehouse No. 1, helping ensure all components blended harmoniously.
Design input, pricing and inventory strategies, branding alliances and cross marketing with Kor’s hospitality team were critical facets of that endeavor.
Warehouse No. 1 is the final phase of Barker Block, which Kor launched in 2006 with the first building of 242 live/work lofts, DuBois says.
“We were one of the first developers to make a significant residential-focused investment in the Arts District,” he reports. “To go back and complete the final phase of the project nearly 10 years later was significant. We’ve come full circle on a community that completes our original vision. We sought to create superior housing in what is now one of the hottest neighborhoods in LA.

text: Abstract This book review examines Chang-tay Chiou's work, Taiwan Hakka, which was published in the People's Republic of China. This book diagnoses Taiwanese Hakka's crisis of ethnic identity and cultural inheritance, using social scientific methods toreviewand foresee how Taiwanese Hakka people work hard to pursue their cultural revival through some approaches, such as social movement, political participation and public policy making. This book review tries to shed light on the topics about Hakka immigration to Taiwan during late Ming dynasty and China Hakka and oversea Hakka immigration to Taiwan in contemporary time. Moreover, it criticizes some misinterpretation of the real situation of Taiwan Hakka in this book for the possibly unfair political intervention by the government of the People's Republic of China.

Several weeks ago a local television reporter asked me to comment on President Obama's recent decision to support gay marriage. In 2000, I was a media representative for Proposition 22 (the fore-runner of Proposition 8) here in California. Both propositions, which supported traditional marriage by voter mandate, were affirmed by California voters in 2000 and 2008 respectively. Proposition 8 won by a 53% plurality while Proposition 22, eight years earlier, won by more than 60% of the vote.
The television reporter who interviewed me was giddy about the sudden decision by the President to support gay marriage. She reminded me that his show of support was "historic" since Mr. Obama was (in her words) "the first President" to support gay marriage. The reporter really didn't want to hear my defense of traditional marriage and why Californians voted in favor of it on two elections.
It doesn't surprise me that most members of the mainstream media defend gay marriage and will continue to ignore the millions of us who support traditional marriage. It was certainly obvious during that week in May when the news broke about Obama's "evolving" decision. I did make a point to the reporter that in 30 states (either their voters or their state's legislature) have shown a majority support for traditional marriage. The local television station's news editors choose not to air those comments.
What most members of the mainstream media simply ignore is the long term consequences of re-defining marriage. When you effectively change the parameters of an institution (namely traditional marriage that is historically defined as a union between one man and one woman) you are re-defining an institution that dates back more than 2,000 years. If the definition of marriage is changed, it will bring with it new problems. Already, a former President of the ACLU, has publicly said that if gay marriage is approved their legal organization will file legal papers in an effort to legalize polygamy.
Full approval of gay marriage will also bring up other issues as well. In England, the age of consent has already been lowered from 14 to 12. Some expect it to drop further. In several Scandinavian countries (notably Sweden, Norway and Iceland) gay marriage has already been legalized. Sadly, in these countries, tradition marriage is now less popular with more couples electing to live together instead of being bound together in the commitment of marriage.
Traditional marriage, in general terms, has always been the best support unit for raising children. Raising children with the role models of both mother and father has always been, in general terms, the ideal way to raise a family. Jesus himself defined marriage in Matthew 19:4-6. Yet the media remains giddy in their support for gay marriage and non-objective in their reporting of this "evolving" decision by Obama.
I wish today's media and their so-called 'objective' reporters were more tolerant of the millions of us who support traditional marriage, believe in the Bible and know, beyond a doubt, that God can change anyone, as evidenced by the story of Michael Glatze who was once featured in 2005 in Time Magazine as an upcoming star in the gay community.
Read Michael Glatze's remarkable story about how he came to faith in Christ in my newly released book, 16 Amazing Stories of Divine Intervention (www.16AmazingStories.com) .

I distinctly remember walking into The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba two years ago and smelling a sweet fragrance permeating throughout the property. It wasn’t overwhelming but made an immediate impression. Made specifically for the hotel, the signature scent—a mix of passionfruit and Hyacinth—is pumped through the air vents and creates as an additional sensory experience for guests. A feeling the property was banking on long before I stepped foot within its walls.
Scent branding is not a new, or particularly earth shattering. But it’s grown so fast over the last decade that it’s basically a norm now for hoteliers to offer signature scents from Day 1. Take for example, The Bernic Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. It opens on July 15 but has already established its signature scent: white tea and fig.
There’s a reason the trend hasn’t gone away, and is in fact, overtaking our senses within the hospitality industry. According to Forbes, Mandarin Oriental’s branding specialists stated that “hotel guests remember what they smell two times longer and more vividly than what they see or hear.” The Sense of Smell Institute urges that after a year, the human nose can recall smells with 65 percent accuracy. In comparison, after three months, there is only a 50 percent accuracy of visuals. Plus, 75 percent of the emotions we generate daily are affected by smell. Needless to say, scent branding is an invisible marketing investment that really pays off.
When starting down the path of customizing their own fragrance, there are a few things hotels have to consider. One of which is how much money and time they want to spend on creating the right smell. According to Bloomberg, hotels poured an estimated $300 million into the scent-branding industry last year. To begin the process, hoteliers look to scent branding specialists such as Air Aroma, ScentAir or Aroma360. having worked with clients such as Fairmont, Swissotel, SLS Hotels & Casinos, Sofitel, Armani Hotels and Ritz-Carlton, Air Aroma is one of the top agencies designing scents for luxury brands.
The group works with a team of perfumers, marketing experts, interior designers, graphic designers and phycologists to craft these one-of-a-kind aromas. The complete process can cost a property anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 per formulation. Which means, if you don’t get what you’re looking for the first time, you’re spending even more to create the next round of smells.
Abassi goes on to say our interpretation of scents are generational and cultural, which suggests a struggle between choosing a location-based fragrance or a brand-wide aroma. Properties such as Hamilton Island, the Knickerbocker, Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, Boulders Resort & Spa, Fairmont Grand Del Mar and the Baccarat Hotel have all opted for personal fragrances to correspond to their destinations.
Created in 2004 specifically for Le Bristol Paris, the property chose the perfumery Jean Patou Paris and fragrance designer Jean-Michel Duriez to design the scent. “It was important to us to create a true olfactory identity to strengthen the “homey” spirit of the hotel. The deep scent reflects this residence’s background of over 90 years of history,” said a hotel representative.
Large brands such as St. Regis Hotels & Resorts chose a single scent for their properties across the board. The brand wanted guests to always be reminded that they are in a St. Regis no matter where they were. In July 2015, the brand created Caroline’s Four Hundred which was made by scent designer, architect and historic preservationist, Carlos Huber and his brand Arquiste.
How the scents are used with the properties varies as well. Some choose to pump the fragrances through air-conditioning vents throughout the hotel, release the aroma in just the main lobby, or create in-room candles, sprays and body products to release the olfactory experience.
Similar to The Ritz in Aruba, properties like the Four Seasons Chicago and Vdara Hotel & Spa use cold air diffusion systems to neutralize the scents while still pumping them throughout rooms, public spaces and corridors. The process utilizes cool air to push scented oil through a nebulizer that produces a micro-fine vapor which is hooked up to a hotel’s HVAC system.
When done successfully, not only will guests remember their stay, they’ll also want to take those feelings home with them. For hotels, that translates to additional revenue through the sale of these fragrances in gift shops and online. A single candle at Le Bristol Paris costs around USD $42 while Gramercy Park Hotel’s Cade 26 candle starts at $90. At La Mamounia in Marrakech, the fragrance is available for $180 and is a combination of citrus elements and woody notes of Atlas cedar.
No matter how these signature fragrances are marketed and pumped through vents, there’s no doubt they are money makers. Agency 12.29 states that “a brand with an olfactive logo has a 65 percent chance of being remembered by a consumer, while an unscented brand has a 50 percent chance of being forgotten within the first three months.” Last year, Rachel Herz of Brown University, an expert in scent and psychology told Travel + Leisure that within a decade’s time, scent marketing is forecasted to be a $1 billion industry. If that’s true, our noses will either be having a lot more fun when we travel or will need a break from hotels overstimulating our senses.
Ever since I was a little girl, I had always wanted to have my own signature scent. I remember listening to my mother tell me that a scent should be truly yours, if you walk into a room (and people get close enough to take a whiff) you should make a statement all your own. Both she and I do NOT believe in stinking out a room with over-applied scent, but if a person is in your small personal bubble they should delight in your subtle scent and remember you when you go. This applies to both men and women, growing up, my father used the splash cologne on his face and anything he touched had the trail of his scent, hours later when grabbing my lunch box at school, the scent of his Tuscany cologne still lingered and I would feel comforted by the familiarity and security I associated with his scent. To this day, I adore all 3 of his scents that he used to wear.
When getting married, many people recommend wearing a unique scent that, when worn in the future, will remind you of the day.
It is more difficult than you think to find your scent. For example, my skin seems to change the scent of the perfumes so much that once on my skin most turn sickly sweet. Trial and error is the best way to find your one true scent personality, however I recently came across Pinrose a site that helps you find your scent through a synesthesia process. They have a multi-sensory quiz that you can take which leverages synesthesia to help you find your perfect scent.
They have really creative ways of “expanding your scent wardrobe” and delivering their scents.
Surf Siren – For breaking hearts and sinking ships. Dive into this breezy blend of lavender and neroli.
Rooftop Socialite – No better place to survey the scene than from the very top. Brighten the crowd with this fresh mix of Italian bergamot, lime, and mandarin.
I know that there are lots of people out there that take as much joy as I do when finding a scent that makes you stand a little taller and augment who you are really are so I couldn’t help myself in sharing this fun site. The only question left is am I a Ballroom Philosopher or a Moonlight Gypsy?

The past few days, if not weeks, have been hugely reflective for me. It seems like a major conspiracy from the universe to wake me up from my deep slumber. I have been feeling quite disturbed for a long while now, it has been such a while that I do not even remember when did it all start.
I have always prided myself for loving what I do and being able to do what I love. This has not been entirely accurate lately and it has been bugging me from my deepest consciousness. It eats me up slowly.
The above questions to myself may be the cause of my dissatisfaction partially, but my gut (or my higher self) tells me there is more to it.
I have been neglecting the bigger picture.
The bigger picture has never been the work itself. Would I be satisfied and truly happy if I am doing the best work or the most interesting projects? If I imagine myself as one of the best-recognised designers right now, will that take away all my dissatisfaction? If I had less work now and have the chance to rest, will that make me feel significantly better?
A couple of years ago I have realised that even if I was doing the best work, earning the best keep, I would not really be satisfied, I would not lie on my deathbed and smile, telling myself that I have lived a good life. What is the point of even if I were to be recognised as one of the best? It does nothing except to feed my ego and probably I can tell myself I have been one of the best designers – but what comes after that? This is not meant to be any disrespect to the best designers out there now, honestly, just that different factors make different people happy, and I would not say that being one of the best makes me truly happy. I love my work but it is just not what my life should revolve around.
The picture changes significantly when one is able to contribute to the greater good with the work. I have always been a fan of Stefan Sagmeister, not because of his creative, provocative work, but rather that the messages he carries by just being himself. The work he does encourages people to be themselves, not get sold into the whole materialistic lifestyle and most importantly, to pursue your dream. Or one of those industrial designers who designs something that enables handicapped people to move more freely, for example. Or the copywriter who conceptualises the ad that carries a life-changing message to the mass public.
Yet I asked myself honestly if I thought I would ever touch people in this manner and the answer was no. It is not because I am pouring cold water on myself, but a very honest assessment of my own self. I have been doing consistently good work, but it has never been in that league. I will not say never ever, but the possibility is really remote.
One of my facebook contacts had linked an article that profiled a woman with the highest recorded IQ, and the article questioned if one was obligated to use his/her natural high intelligence to ‘change the world’. I remember responding to it on facebook, commenting that not everybody has to be Obamas to contribute positively to the world. I really do believe in all of us having the ability to contribute in our own unique ways, however small or supposedly insignificant it may be. The point of it is to have the intention or desire. One small gesture may change someone else’s life. I have had other people’s small gestures that significantly changed mine.
I slowly came to the conclusion that I will be happy on my deathbed if I had the chance to contribute to the world in my own ways, and if I had the courage to do what my heart tells me to. I actually came to this conclusion quite a few years ago, but in the middle of all the work and worries about the practicalities of life, I have gotten lost. My work has taken up so much of my time that I no longer had time to do things that I deeply cared about or that I originally set out to accomplish.
Success in the typical sense will not feed the soul, because we will always want more. Creativity declines when the soul is not being fed. I guess this makes up a lot of the reason why I have been feeling like something is withering inside me.
I slowly came to the conclusion that I will be happy on my deathbed if I had the chance to contribute to the world in my own ways, and if I had the courage to do what my heart tells me to. I actually came to this conclusion quite a few years ago, but in the middle of all the work and worries about the practicalities of life, I have gotten lost.
As I mentioned earlier, I have been feeling disturbed but I only started an in-depth interrogation within myself only when I was clearing my Google Reader’s feeds and discovered that quite a few high-profile personalities in the web industry have written about their stress-levels, work-related depression and significant decisions to do something about it. One has called it quits to his freelance career and returned to employment, one has decided to halt his thriving small business, another has gone on to another level by revolutionizing his life.
I asked myself what was I going to do about mine. In order to know what I needed to do, I have to find out the root of the issue first. That started my whole self-analysis. That was not all.
I was extremely ashamed, yes ashamed of my own lack of guts when I saw Susan Boyle’s courage to take the stage despite the expected public ridicule of her age and looks, while I would not even go anywhere anything that resembles a stage. I was totally envious and ashamed again when fellow local blogger Adrianna, at the tender age of 24, escaped a suicide bomb blast in Yemen by a twist of fate, not because she was there for work, but she was touring the Middle East by herself because she wanted to. Like seriously? I have reservations touring just South-east Asia by myself and someone else is enjoying her life and death tour to the Middle East?
I can continue to cite many more examples that made me look at myself and shake my head. That I am sitting here, being troubled about my work and not having enough guts or determination to change the situation. That I am moping while someone almost lost his life when he offered himself to the pirates as a hostage in exchange for the release of his crew, women in South Africa are getting raped to ‘correct’ them of their homosexuality. I feel very ashamed to have allowed mundane issues to depress me, when there is actually much greater pain and suffering out there – not to mention that there are people who are doing actual meaningful work with their lives at risk, some without a penny to their name.
I do not want too much more of my life to tick by and lessen the time to do whatever I need to do to make myself proud at my own deathbed. This has been an on-going merry-go-round for me because I have been aware and yet getting lost repeatedly. I want to share and set my intentions openly with all of you. I may not succeed at first try, but at the very least I want to try.
The list of intentions consists of things I would like to do that I feel will bring back my passion for my work, as well as actions I can initiate in order to aid my quest to lessen my stress levels and increase the quality of my life, plus some perspectives of life in general I should constantly remind myself of in order to be grateful and not wasteful (the rhyming is not intentional ;p). Lastly, I want to consciously increase the opportunities that will allow me to contribute positively in my own ways, within my own capacity, as much as possible.
I should not give up on doing things I truly love because it seems difficult to.
I must try to find more me-time and time for non-commercial creative projects to feed myself creatively.
I really need to look into how I can gauge myself more accurately and stop overloading myself with work because it is my number one stress factor. I will consciously finish whatever I have to do on hand and re-look into the type of work I should be working on in order to create a better creative and time balance.
I will also need to look into diversifying my income streams, especially the passive ones, which I do not even have one yet.
I want to explore other avenues of interest apart from design. I have always been interested in spirituality topics – perhaps more workshops?
Travel plans are still in place and will take place soon. This is important because I feel called to do so. I have a feeling this will open up the doors to more avenues for contributions.
Find ways and time to contribute more to the causes I support. I have been neglecting to give to my causes because I have been so caught up in my own work.
Should really start meditating regularly and having proper exercise soon. The health needs to be taken care of in order to have the ability to accomplish more.
Constantly remind myself to be grateful and to be aware of the suffering of other beings. That I should focus my energy on meaningful matters than to get myself down over minuscule matters compared to people starving in third world countries and people dying in wars. This is extreme yes, but it is real. There are people and animals who are really suffering out there and I feel upset with myself for feeling like it is the end of the world when I encounter small setbacks.
To not let fear affect my life and my desire to be true.
Spend more time writing to share my experiences so that some souls may benefit from it.
Write more openly and honestly on this blog about myself, my fears and failures, not worry about what the negative reactions to my honesty, and instead focus on those who appreciates me for me.
Give my best in trying to do what I want to do, but try not to let myself get attached to the outcomes, and not let my desire for self-improvement become unrealistic self-expectations. It is the journey that counts, not the destination.
Understand that while it is nice to be doing great and interesting work, ultimately whatever work I do should enable me to live out my purpose and live my life the way I want. I should never give up on finding the best compromise though – between the quality of life and the quality of work.

Agreed, lots of vibrant colors. Plan on sending this URL to my friends. Nothing simple about the designs, however.
Lose the “simple.” Come on, these websites are as complex as it gets.
Agote design has really good color scheme.

Just over a week since this post and I’ve yet to find any real discussion or solutions for the iPhone 7 and; Talking & charging iPhone 7, audio in and charging iPhone 7, live-streaming audio in and charging iPhone 7. How did apply not think movie creators would not want to include an external mic like a Rode or external power supply at the same time?
If you find any solutions please share and comment below.
Here it is July 2017 and Apple has yet to resolve issue of audio-in and charging on the iPhone 7. With an iPhone 6 and the 3.5mm jack, you could connect your iPhone to an external power source and record audio-in at the same time. Still not seeing how iPhone movie creators have addressed this important issue. Will Apple resolve this issue on the iPhone 8 or will iPhone users need to buy more dongles?

- The world seems like it is beset with geopolitical instability, but tell that to the oil market. Unplanned global supply disruptions fell to only 1.6 million barrels per day (mb/d) in September, the lowest level since January 2012, according to the EIA.
- The volume of outages has shrunk by a whopping 1 mb/d in the past six months alone, the result of restored production in Libya, Nigeria and Iraq. Canada also brought some disrupted output – from the horrific wildfires last year – back online in August 2017.
- In fact, the recent peak in outages occurred in the spring of 2016, topping out at more than 3 mb/d of disrupted output in May 2016. That was due to the combination of outages in Libya, Nigeria and Canada.
- It is no wonder that the recent outage in Iraq – due to the seizure of the Kirkuk oil fields by Iraq from the Kurdish government – have barely been reflected in oil prices. Some 400,000 bpd have been taken offline, but Brent is still at about $58 per barrel.

Last night was a solar eclipse. I don't know much about astrology, but when I looked up the meaning I found out that solar eclipses mark new beginnings. http://www.astrologyzone.com/forecasts/eclipse.html Today is a new beginning for me. Yesterday I flew down to Sebastopol, CA my new home and left Seattle. I will be joining Hill Park Medical Center for those who don't know. http://hillparkmedicalcenter.com/ I have lived in Seattle since I was 18. I went to college and med school there and never left. Seattle has been my home base for many exciting adventures. It has been my home where much learning and maturing has come to fruition.
It has also been made clear to me in the last year that my time there is coming to an end. There are bigger things ahead for my life. I am not entirely sure what these are, but they are eminent. I started reading Michael Pollen's new book "Cooked" http://michaelpollan.com/books/cooked/ yesterday on the plane. There was a section where it was being discussed the differences between humans and animals, one of which was the concept of cooking food. This got me thinking about another concept that is somewhat uniquely human other than a few exceptions... Tool making.
Many of you who know me know that I have had a long standing criticism of the role of technology in our lives. I am constantly struggle with the long term consequences of the technology I choose to have in my life. My iphone also falls into these bittersweet musings. Ironically in this move I have had to buy a car (a hybrid of course), something that has always bothered me. I also love practical gifts and making things that make my life better. Another Irony is that I am going to be working with Share Practice http://sharepractice.com/, Andrew Brandies' brainchild linking conventional and alternative medicines in a easy to use app that is going to revolutionize medicine. In the end, our role as humans in toolmaking is extraordinary, I am now joining humanity in assisting in making a cool tool for practitioners.
Where am I going as in individual? Where are we going as humanity? I am excited to begin my new beginning.

Alfreton Town manager Nicky Law has solved his immediate goalkeeping problems by bringing in Sam Johnson on a month`s loan from Sky Bet League One side Port Vale.
Johnson will make his debut in Saturday’s Vanarama Conference clash at Macclesfield Town and will become Alfreton`s fifth person to appear in goal this season following on from Jon Stewart, Cameron Dawson, James Severn and midfield player Anthony Howell who played in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round replay at Lincoln City.
Johnson stands 6’7’’ tall and after beginning as a youngster with Stoke City, he joined Port Vale’s professional ranks in June 2011, graduating through their academy programme.
A regular in the club's youth team who finished fourth in their league in 2010/11, he had a loan spell with Stafford Rangers before being named as Vale's young player of the season at the end of the 2012/13 campaign. Sam broke into the senior squad during the 2013/14 season and has made 20 first team appearances so far.
He played several first-team games due to injuries to regular first choice ‘keeper Chris Neal and impressed everybody. Johnson started this season as first-choice and made five league and one cup appearance before losing his place again to Neal.
Sam will wear squad number 20 during his stay at the Impact Arena and Vale manager Rob Page has given permission for him to play in both the FA Trophy and Derbyshire Senior Cup.
Meanwhile, Reds midfield player Lee Stevenson has had his loan at Conference North club Stockport County extended for a third month. Stevenson will now be at Edgeley Park until December 20th inclusive.

Primarily, you are reading this page with a concern! Especially if you are moms and dad. Here you’ll see the compiled checklist of Jacqueline Photography work of art and tips that will certainly aid you to offer the specific details of this subject as well as will guarantee you that it will certainly be helpful for any individual who has an interest in finding out about newborn photography. And also every photographer has their unique techniques in doing their things, however, this is simply small details about Jacqueline Digital photography that I need to learn through the years I stay with them. You’ll entirely go to enjoy it.
Jacqueline Digital baby photography Columbus offers 2 types of session-these are the posed/studio and also a way of living. In fact, I do love both sessions in different methods. Moreover, it is more vital that our customer is well-informed about just what sort of session they want to engage.
The Posed/studio sessions– this session needs to be done within the very first 2 weeks of delivering when the infant has the tendency to rest a lot and also still malleable this session will certainly last for 4 hours straight consisting of activity is feeding, potty breaks, and also posturing. In this session, it takes a lot of time to edit the pictures given that each photo will undergo Photoshop to get remarkable results.
The Way of living newborn sessions– while in this session it has to do with the casual method to baby digital photography. Right here it entails natural positioning that concentrates on the infant and their home. This MLM session will certainly simply take around 1-2hrs optimum.
In between these 2 I’m a lot more chosen with the Lifestyle Jacqueline Photography since it really catches the marvel and also the all-natural elegance of relatives included. Absolutely, we can state that every newborn image is absolutely terrific specifically if you are currently a parent. Each memory of the time structure frequently becomes vague for those brand-new parents which’s why every shoot is essential.
For my very own sight, in fact, I value both sessions so I did technique Jacqueline photography as well as use each break and angle to get most unbelievable and also remarkable lifestyle shots. Every break in the session should not be thrown away. Have feeding moments in the area which has the very best illumination effects as well as undoubtedly you’ll have the chance to have a Way of living a shot.
If in case you’ll do the whole activity in the customer’s home, in Jacqueline digital family photographers Columbus Ohio required the very same quantity of preparation like you are planning for pre-nuptial shoots. You require some things and also making certain you’re not most likely to forget it, load it up the day before the session. To earn you function much easier, I developed a published list that you can use which you need in the photo aim for newborn digital family photographers in Columbus Ohio.
The primary step is to earn sure that you will have an effective photo-shoot session as well as to earn sure the client’s assumption will certainly be met. Additionally, I typically send my prep work tips a couple of days prior to the routine to ensure that to ensure Mom as well as Dad that they are prepared. The bulk, great deals of mommies have the tendency to do breastfeeding with their youngsters while unpacking right stuff for set up.
I typically have them feed the infant in an only diaper and also a swaddle blanket so that it is not difficult to transform child’s outfit. Also, I always advise them what to bring. The time to be eaten, and also anticipated a wonderful disorganize of the workplace and regular feeding, and also to warm up the house, but also for emergency situation functions, I made use of to bring my own heating system.
The ideas for your photo shoot is actually almost everywhere. Most likely, even on Pinterest e-mails from your client. It is also excellent to have an idea in mind what to position prior to you’ll arrive in Jacqueline Photography.
Though it is the same allowing the activity tells a story and unravels the session naturally because I do think that a great photo comes from the unforeseen minute with your child. Whether, it is the unforeseen look of child’s dimples, large stunning eyes, full lips, or a wonderful head of hair, that tend to provide a highlight to its elegance.
Allow the infant do its point like yawning, step, and also stretch. Since infants are normally stunning whatever, still they are pure, as well as packed with sweet little activities, so moms and dads you don’t have to worry a lot concerning having a perfect shot. Parents do enjoy their kids so much that they have the tendency to obtain an image every day while their infant is sleeping, awake, yawning, having a bath, eating, cuddling with their siblings as well as snuggling with mother and also a dad.
When the baby transforms one anticipate that there are a lot of pictures saved on their mobile phone or any kind of electronic utilized for taking images. And so unfortunate that moms and dads will absolutely miss out on those moments. Getting infant images, for mothers they will entirely prize it and so on and so forth. Things below are we should recognize that to maintain mommy and also infant presents easy and comfortable for them.
Opportunities that they will certainly feel quite awkward maybe since they still really feel discomfort from giving birth, below being mild is inevitably needed. Last but not least, do not quit! Oh still remember it’s our trip when my grandfather stated you should do snowboarding 5 times prior to you quite! And also already I step out to my comfort area and that how I fix my trouble with Jacqueline Photography.

My machine has the word 'test' on the display and I can't get it out of this mode, or get the door to unlock. There is already a similar problem posted on this site for another model, but on the wf645 the start and the cancel are both on the same button. I have tried cancelling, turning off the power, every combination of buttons that I i can think of .
My Hotpoint WF645 washes ok but is very noisy, especially during the final spin. Any suggestions why this might be?
The machine WF645 has stopped before finishing cycle and is flashing F-02, any ideas what the problem is?
Aquarius wf645 stuck in a test cycle, I can cancel by pressing both start and the on/off button but when I try to start a new cycle it reverts back to test.
try and unplug it for 3 mins and plug back in that might solve it.
hold in the start and cancel buttons for 10 seconds, a "test on" message appears, hold in the start and cancel button again for 10 seconds and "test off" message appears, set your wash to whatever mode and it should work...it did for me!
The detergent/softner dispenser is located above the detergent drawer. A water pipe is connected to it and water entrance and distribution to drawer's cells (following the programmed cycle)are done by a lever's movement (part of the dispenser). The lever movement is controlled by two solenoids that received their power from the timer. By opening upper machine's cover you will have an access to the dispenser. Disconnect the power cable from the machine before moving to next step !!!! Look first that they are not any disconnected wires. Move manually dispenser's lever and see if water running to all cells (depend on your movement). In case it doesn't work properly remove the unit from the machine and try to clean it (I hope it will help, otherwise you should replace the unit). In case it works properly (manually) - you should test with a multi-tester solenoid's resistance. the one that doesn't have a resistance measurement should be replaced. Good luck !!
Why won't my Hotpoint WF645 not going to spin cycle?
Have a manual for Hotpoint WF645 Front Load Washer?

Lincroft, NJ- Do you know what’s happening – or about to happen in your town? Exercise your right to know; become a government observer and keep elected officials accountable and help ensure community issues are handled with transparency.

Parking is most convenient in lots 5 or 6.
Guest speaker will be Claire French, Monmouth County clerk. Participants will learn how to observe, how local meetings are conducted and how to access information. Learn how to keep tabs on local government, how to keep an eye on taxes, your property values and your child’s education. Find out what elected officials are planning and how and when to make your voice heard and counted.

The court also sentenced him to six months prison for contempt of police. The police report claims Wanees called the officers "sons of dogs" when they knocked on his window asking to see his license and registration.
The ultraconservative cleric's whereabouts are unknown. He was tried in absentia and is allowed a retrial. The court sentenced the woman he was with — who has been in custody for about a month — to six months in jail. She also has the right to appeal.
Known as a sheik for his role as a religious scholar, Wanees once sat in parliament as part of a Salafi-led coalition headed by the Nour Party, which won 25 percent of seats in the lower house before it was dissolved late last month.
The case against him is especially embarrassing for Salafis, who advocate the segregation of unrelated men and women. Salafis are known for a no-compromise, literal interpretation of the faith and typically grow long, moustache-less beards.
Earlier in the year, the Nour Party was forced to issue an embarrassing and apologetic statement after one of their lawmakers was reported to have lied to cover up a nose job, claiming that he sustained injuries to his heavily bandaged face from a carjacking and beating. He was kicked out of the party and resigned from parliament.

It’s hard to know exactly how Mariah Castillo feels about this award. After all, it’s not the individual state title she wanted. The Saugus High junior finished fifth at the CIF State Cross Country Championships and pieced together a “top five” all-time Saugus girls individual season, according to longtime Centurion coach Rene Paragas. When Castillo crossed the finish line at Woodward Park in Fresno, she said she was upset she’d missed her goal but happy she’d improved. “It was a balance of different emotions,” she says.
Castillo is the 2016 All-Santa Clarita Valley Girls Runner of the Year. She hopes to be a 2017 state champion. A realistic goal? “Yes,” Paragas says. “I thought she was capable this year. She ran the third-fastest time (at Woodward Park) in SCV history. Any race she’s in at this point, she has a chance to win.” Castillo — who gave up soccer and basketball to focus on cross country in high school — battled injuries during her freshman and sophomore seasons. Her third season was different — in part because she trained more. Paragas compared it to a pitcher who has a 90-pitch limit for games one year, then, after building strength that season, has a 100-pitch max the next year. Castillo said she iced and stretched more this season, her least injury-plagued campaign to date.
She won the first two Foothill League meets before finishing second to senior teammate Kaylee Thompson at Foothill League finals. The duo gave the Centurions — who won their 11th consecutive league title — a daunting one-two punch. “It’s good having her around because we both feed off each other to improve,” Castillo says. Castillo didn’t run in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 prelims (so she could rest) but finished 10th overall at the section finals a week later. Thompson came in 11th. The Cents needed both stellar performances as they only earned a chance to compete for a 10th state title in the last 11 years because of a tiebreaker. They earned the seventh, and final, state berth in Division 2. “It’s kind of intense,” Castillo says of competing for one of the valley’s most vaunted programs in any sport. “The word legacy comes up a lot and obviously we want to contribute to it. So it’s like really nerve-racking most times, but we just focus on the goal and try to have fun at the same time and try to make everybody proud in our program.” Castillo seemingly didn’t feel that weight of expectation at state where she took fifth overall in a time of 17 minutes, 34.4 seconds. That was a 43-second cut from last year’s 18:17.7, good for 20th place. Saugus took second as a team. It was the first time since 2004 that the Centurions didn’t have an individual or team champion for boys or girls. Castillo hopes to halt the “drought” come next fall.
Anely Avila, Hart, Senior Avila saved her best performance for the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 finals. She ran a 17:54.8 to take 23rd place overall in the race. She was steady in Foothill League competition, finishing in the top 10 at all three meets. She took sixth at meet No. 1 (18:59.09), fifth at meet No. 2 (18:29.25) and ninth at league finals (18:58.42). Jacqueline Cascione, Saugus, Sophomore The sophomore standout missed Foothill League meet No. 1 due to a minor injury and then made up for lost time. She took 10th at league meet No. 2 (19:06.93) and eighth at league finals (18:52.68). Her most impressive performance, though, might have come at state in Fresno where she was Saugus’ third finisher, coming in 27th place (18:33) to help propel the Centurions to a second-place finish in Division 2. Sophia Hoelzel, West Ranch, Sophomore Hoelzel was one of the Foothill League’s young, up-and-coming stars this season. She finished in the top five at all three Foothill League meets, posting back-to-back fourth-place finishes at meet No. 2 and league finals. She ran an 18:49.39 at league finals. Then she turned it up a notch, running an 18:05.6 at the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 finals, good for 28th place. Hailey Kirsch, Valencia, Freshman Kirsch hoped to bring a spark to the Valencia program in her freshman year, and it’s safe to say she succeeded. Kirsch finished in third place at all three of the Foothill League meets, posting an 18:13.13 at league finals. She took 44th place at the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 finals (18:14.5), competing as an individual, and likely has three prolific seasons ahead of her. Kaylee Thompson, Saugus, Senior A strong argument could be made for Thompson to be co-Runner of the Year. She was excellent. The 2015 Runner of the Year came back strong in 2016 with second-place finishes at the first two Foothill League meets before taking first at the league finals (17 minutes, 41.64 seconds). She finished 11th at the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 finals (17:10.0) and then came in eighth at state (17:44.2), helping the Centurions to a second-place finish. Her time was the seventh-best at Woodward Park in SCV history.
