So my friends on the right tried to keep the fight up. In came a friend of theirs, a gay proud american, attacking me for attacking a good mother, who wasn't a bigot because she had gay friends.
Even though she was opposed to measures that would help and protect LGTB folk.
Like him.. a gay conservative who is also opposed to measures most people in the LGBT community seem to want.
I actually used the word oppress... not bigot. And I never implied she was a bad mother.
I explained to mr. gay proud american that his friends sought out a fight, we danced, I walked away.
Then the ladies' husband called me a coward for because I couldn't cope with someone not acting according to my preconceived notions of a homosexual.
Uhm, yeah. My only preconception was that if this kept up, the tea partiers would get nasty, which they did, and they would get blocked, which they did.
Again, I wasn't 100% respectful. Guess what? Who was?
Folks, they can think I'm a coward. They can get more friends to cuss me out. If you want to argue with me, and do so in a cool way, I will keep the argument going. But if you want to flame, and can't finish the fight, I'm cool with walking away without a victory.
Life ain't all about winning arguments with strangers on the internet.
It's about livejournaling that you had a moral victory in an argument with strangers on the internet.

The Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) has disbursed some loans to six (6) women groups at Salaga in the East Gonja municipality to help empower and boost their businesses. A total of 150 women in the six (6) groups, received between GH¢ 800 to GH¢ 1,000 each as part of the first round of disbursement in the area.
The groups received the loans at the weekend at the East Gonja Municipal Assembly as part of MASLOC’s mandate of supporting small businesses with funds to grow and to improve on people’s livelihoods.
As part of the disbursement, MASLOC officials also briefed the beneficiary groups and its members the tips on loan management as well as the agreed terms and period of payment of the loans.
Mr Yakubu Musah, Northern Regional Manager of MASLOC in an interview with the media, said MASLOC since November last year, had disbursed cheques of about GH¢ 2.5 million to 100 women groups in the northern region, with each group constituting of about 25 members.
He said MASLOC had been able to obtain between 90 per cent to 100 per cent loan recoveries from persons who took loans during the previous administration and was optimistic that this year’s beneficiaries would pay back their loans on time.
Mr Musah added that MASLOC, by way of economically empowering individuals, had also issued out 35 saloon cars to individuals who could not afford outright payment but by way of deposits.
He, however, stressed that MASLOC mode of giving out financial support to empower people was not based on any party affiliation and urged more people to come to the organization for assistance.
Mr Mohammed Tamimu, the East Gonja Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) urged the beneficiaries to do well to repay the loans within the given period in order to benefit more in the future since the loans were revolving funds.
He assured that the municipal assembly would make sure that loans were fully settled within the given period in order to help people who could not benefit to also benefit.
Most of the beneficiaries expressed joy for the support given to them and urged MASLOC to do more to help empower more women in the municipality.
Mrs Naomi Adomaa, a trader, said the loan she received was a sign of relief adding it would help sustain her business.
Madam Hajara Muftawu, a trader, said MASLOC had come to give hope to women in the Salaga Township and assured that she would use the capital profitably and would pay back the loan within the agreed period.
Mrs Adisa Adamu, a food vendor commended MASLOC for the financial support and gave the assurance that she would encourage all beneficiaries to do well to pay back the loans on time to help them apply for more loans in future.

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful, sunny Chinese New Year Day.
*Knitting: It is still cold at night. I’m sure those in need would still appreciate a wooly, handmade hat. Our second finished hat was celebrated in class last week!
New Writing Study Hall with Lou: starts tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2:30pm-4:00pm, at the Fall Creek office (aka The Annex). Bring your writing projects and Lou will give help and instruction as needed. Writers are welcome to come for as little or as much of the time as fits their schedules. If you have no writing projects, but still would like to attend, you can jump off of what we did with Meg last week and journal-write.
Project Presentations: Please have your child bring their Project Presentation Planning Packet with them to class on Wednesday, regardless of how far they have gotten with it. The kids will be sharing their ideas and how far they have gotten with each other, picking their dates to present to me and to the class.
Ukulele Club Meeting: Thursday, 2/11, 2:15pm-3:15pm. Please see Ukulele Club summary below for what to prepare.
and create solar-powered cities. They then build their own wind turbines.
Drop-off time in the morning will be 8:45am. Pick-up time in the afternoon will be 3:30pm. Please return the permission slip with payment to me by this Thursday, 2/11 so that I can arrange rides. Thanks!
Math Manipulatives: We now have some copies of the Foundations teacher’s editions for checkout. We also have some math manipulative kits for check out.
Circle Check-In: We shifted from starting Wednesdays with mindfulness class to our more typical circle check-in format, with kids tuning in to their subjective experience, sharing how they were doing physically and emotionally and sharing something they enjoyed since the last class.
Asking Questions: The kids completed a “get to know you” activity to find out things about their classmates that they didn’t already know. They then worked in their table groups to generate interesting questions for partner interviews. We discussed the difference between open-ended and close-ended questions, and they were encouraged to write open-ended questions.
PE: Faith did an excellent job leading the kids in dribbling and passing basketball drills. The kids worked in groups of 3-4, with one experienced basketball player in each group. The kids who were new to the game built confidence in their skills, and even better…they had fun! The kids who were experienced were challenged to step into a leadership role.
Climate Science: As an introduction to our first laboratory experience of 2016 I shared with the kids that research has found that the way most kids (and adults) learn best is through concrete experiences, then working with images that are representative of those concrete experiences, and finally moving to abstract concepts. We learn better when these three elements are involved, even if we do them in reverse order. This is why science lab experiences are important, even if learner already knows the concepts that the lab illustrates. Given this, why do we often skip over the concrete and even the pictorial? The kids knew why: time and money.
The lab: In their table groups the kids measured the difference in rate of heating and cooling of water and air. They wrote down temperature readings at regular time intervals and while they waited for the next reading worked on coloring their climate maps. We’ll be graphing and analyzing the data we collected this week.
Globe Project: Well, two weeks in an unheated, damp room over the holidays did not benefit our papier mache globes. Even some that were quite round before had developed dips. Undaunted, we moved forward. I asked the kids to take a good look at their globes and consider whether they wanted to proceed with applying their climate map to it, or to turn their climate map into a separate paper globe and transform their papier mache globe into an asteroid, moon, or other celestial object. Most of the kids chose the latter which led to an online investigation of the shapes of different asteroids and moons. The kids all found an asteroid that most closely fit the shape of their papier mache globe, using duct and masking tape to help sculpt their globe to match more closely. This week they’ll learn more about their asteroid, analyze color, and hopefully begin to paint.
Writing with Meg: Scott’s mom, Meg, who is herself a writer, has generously offered to lead the kids in writing explorations on Thursday mornings. For our first session, she encouraged the kids to consider that the best writing comes from the personal experiences which are unique to each one of us. No one can tell the same stories in the same way that we can. She acknowledged that writing can be hard, and we can feel resistant to it. She encouraged us to push through that resistance and just do it because expressing those unique stories is worth the effort. She had brought writing notebooks for each class member and introduced, “first thoughts writing” where we write what comes first to our minds, without editing. She suggested some topics to help get started, then asked the kids to write for 10 minutes without stopping. At the end of the 10 minutes she invited the kids to read aloud what they wrote, if they wanted. Several kids shared and it was clear that each expression was unique! Suggested Homework: She asked the kids to write down two more journaling ideas in their notebooks that they could write about at home before next Thursday. She encouraged the kids to take some time to pay close attention to their environment, their senses and their feelings and to write about what they experience in that moment.
Gardening: The kids collected data on their lettuces and weeded the lettuce beds. Some kids gathered cut oak logs recently cut in the nature academy garden for possible mushroom cultivation.
Photography: Sheryl was with us this week and talked to the kids about light, aperture, shutter speed and setting f-stops using manual mode. She also figured out how to reset the cameras back to their original settings which will be a life-saver as the kids start to fiddle more with the settings. Thank you, Sheryl! All the kids got to work in small groups with Sheryl taking photographs around the school.
Ukulele Club: Thanks to all who participated in the Ukulele Club last Thursday! It is not easy to work on learning together without a teacher in charge, but I think you’ll find that it is really worthwhile. Last week the kids practiced playing “This Land is Your Land” together. Most of the kids had practiced the chords, but it is clear that more practice is needed transitioning from one chord to another. Elli, Jeanette’s sister (who has done a lot of ukulele), suggests practicing one chord over and over separate from playing songs to get comfortable strumming, and also to get more relaxed and smooth with chord changes. The kids discussed several different strums and it was agreed that it might be helpful if the strum was identified along with one version of the song so all could be practicing the same way. At Elizabeth’s suggestion, the kids decided to learn the chorus from Lava (attached), using the Island strumming technique and have it ready to go for our meeting on this Thursday. Jeanette is going to work on getting the music for another song so everyone can all be working on the same version of the song for our next meeting on 3/3.
Science Fair: Congratulations to all who participated in the Charter Science Fair! I was hosting on Friday evening and so got a chance to look at all of the great projects. For those who weren’t able to participate this year, I encourage you to participate next year, even if only to come and see what other students have done; it’s inspiring! For those who did participate, please don’t forget to pick up your project boards this week and to include your great work in this month’s portfolio samples.
I need parents to come be present at the math tutoring while I’m involved in staff meetings on 2/10 & 2/24. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!
We still have a need for parent help on the following dates. Please let me know if you can join us.
*Please check in with your child and make sure that they have a cup to use for water and tea. Even if they bring a water bottle, I would like them to have a cup to use in class.

According to Roberts, 41 authors and 93 books have been infringed by Serruya; Roberts writes on her blog that “the scope of her theft is so huge, so stunningly wide, she really has nowhere to go, no excuses or reasons that can possibly hold even a drop of water”. “If you plagiarise, I will come for you,” Roberts said.

Two brothers who say they helped Jussie Smollett stage a racist and homophobic attack against himself filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the Empire actor’s attorneys, alleging that they repeatedly asserted publicly that the brothers carried out a real, bigoted attack on Smollett despite knowing that was not true.
The suit contends that even after police and prosecutors alleged that the 29 January attack in Chicago was staged and after all charges were dropped, controversially, against Smollett, Geragos and his firm continued to say publicly in widely reported statements that the brothers “led a criminally homophobic, racist and violent attack against Mr Smollett”, even though they knew that was not the case. The lawsuit says that the lawyers’ repeated statements that Smollett told the truth all along and that the brothers were lying caused them “significant emotional distress”, made them feel unsafe and alienated them from the local community.

On "Shark Tank," John Bailey said his bestseller was a fart-scented candle.
I'm not an angel investor.
Nor am I likely to be providing venture capital anytime soon. So you would think reading a comprehensive guide to angel investing would be of little interest to me.
In fact, often the best way to approach a situation is from a totally different perspective. Say you want to build a thriving business. You could list everything you think is important in founding, growing, and maintaining a startup, and build your company that way.
Or you could focus on what experienced investors look for — not because you want to attract outside capital, but because you want to evaluate the same key qualities an experienced investor looks for when deciding whether a business merits their money.
In other words, build a company that has all the qualities a successful angel looks for... and you've probably built a company with real legs.
The same approach can apply to you, the founder.
The number one thing I look at when making a startup investment is the quality of the entrepreneur. In this, I — and a majority of professional angel investors — follow the old adage: "Bet the jockey, not the horse." A great entrepreneur — especially one backed by an outstanding team — can tweak, improve, and refocus a business idea as needed, while a mediocre entrepreneur is likely to ruin the promise of a brilliant business concept. If I have to choose between a great business idea and a great entrepreneur, I'll take the entrepreneur every time.
So what about you? Do you have all the qualities a successful angel looks for in an entrepreneur?
There's no need to guess. While in the book he describes certain behaviors of great entrepreneurs, David also lists a number of warning signs.
Of course you might say, "Wait. I don't plan to seek investors. So an inability to communicate effectively with potential investors is a non-issue." Of course you'd also be wrong; while communicating with investors may not be important, communicating with everyone else — employees, customers, vendors, etc. — is definitely important. Any entrepreneur who lacks solid communication skills is working at a huge disadvantage.
The same is true for all the other items on David's list of warning signs. If you can't lead then your employees can't follow. If you can't grow with your business then your business can't grow. If you can't identify and leverage your real (not imagined) competitive advantages then you can't compete.
And while you think you may never be an angel investor, you already are, because you've invested in your business.
Viewing entrepreneurship and your business from a different perspective — especially an experienced perspective — is incredibly valuable because it can help you identify weaknesses you must overcome... and just as importantly, strengths you can leverage.

Deciding on equipments or accessories for a kitchen is quite a thoughtful process. With numerous options of everything in the market, selecting the most functional and durable is quite a tough decision. Kitchen sink is no different and requires quite a thought with regards to type of materials, design, color and above all its functionality.
With all that elaborate cooking of delectable dishes comes along a lot of cleaning work, which is why you need a sink that should not only accommodate the numerous dirty dishes (without them toppling over each other and eventually falling onto the floor!), but also be easy on maintenance. Cast iron kitchen sinks are one choice of sinks that help you relax on this front and carry on your cleaning work effortlessly.
Why should you go for cast iron kitchen sinks?
Cast iron kitchen sinks are extremely durable, fairly easy to maintain, but heavy in weight. They are made from an iron alloy with roughly 95% iron and 5% silicon. For home use they are generally coated with a porcelain coating material, called enamel. It is the enamel coating that gives the sink its color, design, and finish. Such enameled cast iron kitchen sinks are highly resistant to heat… around 1000 degrees. That allows you to slip hot dishes right onto the sink, when required, without having to bother about any damage.
They are quite easy to maintain also, as they are coated with stain resistant material, so no more scrubbing with abrasive cleansers or steel wool. A soft sponge is enough to keep it clean.
Undermount cast iron kitchen sinks are heavy in weight and need care during installation. Hence it is important that you measure the countertop hole dimensions properly before selecting a sink for it. An undermount cast iron kitchen sink requires firm and solid support because of its heavy weight. It would require firm securing from underneath. The base cabinetry that supports it may require modifications to provide a strong and secured support.
If you are not comfortable or confident of installing your undermount cast iron kitchen sink yourself, you can always consider having the contractor install it for you.
Choosing the color of cast iron kitchen sinks depends on how clean you can keep it on a regular day to day basis. Black cast iron sink would be easy on cleaning as black color nicely hides the water marks or any other food stain. However, scratches are bound to show. Compared to this, a white cast iron sink would need immense care (everyday cleaning) and would show spots and stains from food items immediately. However, scratches will be less visible, as white can match and hide with the surface below the enamel.
It is interesting to know that during postwar period of 1946 to early 50s, a lot of white-enamel-on-cast-iron sinks were made and used in the farmhouse kitchens. Such antique cast iron kitchen sinks were famously made and marketed by big names like Kohler, Youngstown etc. They were huge in sizes and were almost as majestic as ones we see in the market today. However, such sinks are rarely used today due to space constraints of the kitchen. But even today, if you do want to own one such prized accessory for your kitchen, you could research on the Internet for such vintage cast iron sink manufacturers.
Vintage cast iron kitchen sinks have their old world charm but need a good amount of aligning with the countertop hole. This could be cumbersome considering the size and weight of the sink.
Cast iron kitchen sinks are a great choice as per their durability, outer look or finish. They can very well hide the water stains and are easy to clean and maintain. However, you need to consider few points to keep your cast iron kitchen sink last long. The porcelain coating can chip off if hit hard by some utensil or due to cleaning with an abrasive cleanser etc. If the coating chips off then the underlying iron can begin to rust.
Lighter colored cast iron kitchen sinks are bound to get scuff marks from heavy pots and pans or even tea bags (over a long time). So care needs to be taken to keep them stain free and scratch free. Gentle care will ensure a long lasting cast iron sink for your kitchen.

The ancient pentathlon, contested in the first Olympic games over two millennia ago, could be dangerous. Consisting of five events, the ancient sport was designed to mimic the tasks a soldier might be required to do in battle: run, jump, throw a javelin and discus, and, of course, wrestle.
Wrestling, though, in this context, wasn’t just two guys in leotards on a mat. It was—though some accounts differ—the type of Greek wrestling known as pankration, a brutal open-ended battle with few rules that often ended in serious injury or death.
But with that risk came, potentially, fame; compared to its modern counterpart, winning the ancient competition was hugely prestigious, since it was seen as the peak of human athletic achievement.
And yet, these days, champion pentathletes couldn’t be more anonymous, while the sport itself is just trying to hang on, a bizarre and quiet denouement for the modern equivalent of that ancient epic. The modern pentathlon was always a direct, if slightly romantic gesture to the past. The only question for now is how much longer that gesture will remain.
Part of the reason the modern pentathlon struggles to draw a crowd is that it is built around five disciplines that are hardly spectator sports: fencing, show jumping, shooting, swimming, and running. The ancient version, too, included events—discus and javelin—that aren’t exactly riveting, but it also benefited from scarcity, as the ancient Olympics had just a handful of events, mainly just running and chariot racing, while this year in Rio de Janeiro there are 41 other sports asking for your attention.
The idea, Coubertin said, was to produce the “ideal, complete athlete,” or at least someone capable of being a highly-functioning soldier.
And, initially, it was a sport dominated by military officers themselves. It was first contested at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden, where future World War II General George S. Patton, representing the U.S. Army, was among those competing.
Patton’s biggest challengers were Swedes, who not only enjoyed home-field advantage but also dominated the sport in the early decades.
And in its first year, Patton, a 26-year-old lieutenant, gave them a show. Competing against 41 other military officers, Patton began with the first event, shooting. But unlike the rest of the competitors, who used .22-caliber guns, Patton chose to use a larger .38-caliber weapon, shooting and, he thought, hitting a stationary target 20 times. But when judges checked, they found only 17 holes. Patton’s explanation? Three bullets clearly went through the target’s holes without making a mark of their own.
But the judges didn’t buy it, and Patton finished 21st in that portion of the competition. He did better with the four other disciplines, in the end passing out from exertion after running 2.5 miles. When he came to, he was told the final results: Patton had recovered to finish fifth (three Swedes took each of the medal places).
That Patton came close to sniffing a medal at all was its own kind of achievement. Sweden won 11 of the first 12 medals handed out for the modern pentathlon, and it wasn’t until a German in 1928 won bronze that any non-Swedish athlete stepped on to the podium. And while in the ensuing years the event’s appeal for other countries widened considerably—Hungarians dominated most of the ’60s and early ’70s—modern pentathlon remained an oddity on the Olympic schedule, neither a reliable draw or an interesting competition to watch.
That hasn’t been for lack of trying, though, as the sport has evolved continually since its debut. Though it still uses the same five skills, real guns are no longer used, for example, and the distances for the running and swimming portions of the event have been modified. It’s also been compressed into three days, instead of what started as five.
The competition will open this year on Thursday, August 18, in Rio de Janeiro, to conclude Aug. 20, meaning, of course, that for now, it’s still an Olympic event, though officials have continually threatened to drop it, along with things like dressage and synchronized swimming.

City Manager Mike Matthes has selected Sgt. Robert Fox of the Columbia Police Department to lead the city's proposed community-oriented policing project.
The appointment was announced Saturday in an email to City Council members, Police Chief Ken Burton, Columbia Police Officers Association Executive Director Dale Roberts and others.
The City Council plans to consider and vote on a resolution Monday night in support of community policing.
The resolution would direct Matthes to design a community-oriented policing program for the Police Department in collaboration with Columbia residents, police and other stakeholders. The council resolution asks Matthes to present a proposal no later than Aug. 31.
Roberts said Fox would coordinate this collaboration effort. In his Saturday email, Matthes said Fox would report for duty next week and perform as project manager until the end of August, should the resolution pass. Fox would then return to duty with the Police Department.
Matthes said that if the resolution passes Fox will convene public meetings with various stakeholders and bring in people from cities using other models of community policing than the three Columbia is using now. Fox will then "boil all that down into a recommendation for council," Matthes said.
Fox will receive a 5 percent salary increase for his work as project manager, Matthes said.
Roberts said Matthes interviewed five officers for the temporary position before ultimately choosing Fox. Both he and Columbia Police Chief Ken Burton participated in the interviews, Roberts said.
Matthes called Fox "a great sergeant" who understands community policing and the ways it can benefit both the community and the officers. Fox already encourages community engagement in his role as sergeant, he added.
"He makes sure — to the extent that he can — that his officers have one non-911 related interaction per shift, at a minimum" Matthes said.
Matthes' email indicated that Fox's appointment had the support of both Burton and Roberts.
“Rob (Fox) has a fascinating background in social services from his time in England, he has a creative approach to policing, he is recognized as a natural leader within the department, and he is widely respected as a SWAT instructor by his fellow officers,” Roberts said in the release.

As your baby grows there are several milestones to be aware of. The pincer grasp is one of the first steps to fine motor development. Your baby will naturally develop the pincer grasp but there are also a number of ways to help develop it with your baby.
What Does the Pincer Grasp Do?
At first your baby will hold your finger with the entire hand. This palmar grasp is a reflex and one of the first types of hand development they will exhibit. By six months old they will be able to hold an object with the entire hand including the pinkie finger and thumb.
The pincer grasp is the use of the index finger and thumb to grasp small objects. At first, your baby may figure out how to bring objects closer to them. Over time, your baby will be able to have more control when holding small objects. While they may be able to hold on to an object with the pads of their fingers, it is not a fully developed pincer grasp. A true pincer grasp uses the tips of the thumb and index finger. It may look like a pinch, but that is not the nature of the word “pincer”.
Why is the Pincer Grasp an Important Milestone?
The pincer grasp is the beginning of fine motor skill development. It enables holding small items and encourages them to self-feed. The pincer grasp allows your baby to have more control of objects of all shapes and sizes. Strength is just one part of a pincer grasp. It also requires hand-eye coordination.
The grasp also leads to other fine motor skill development that is important in day-to-day activities. Fine motor skills lead to tasks for toddlers and preschoolers such as holding a utensil, drawing with crayons and markers, and writing with a pencil or pen. Even cutting with scissors is a preschool skill that requires fine motor development and finger control. By the time your child is in kindergarten, the pincer grasp will be important to pinch a shoelace to tie their own shoes.
When Does the Pincer Grasp Develop?
This grasp is a milestone that your pediatrician may ask about around nine or twelve months of age. After your baby starts to reach and grab for toys, food, and just about anything, they are developing curiosity as well as grasping. Around six months, they will use their hands to grab smaller items such as finger foods and spoons. Even throwing these objects are part of the process to them. But practice happens more than just at feeding time. While they may reach the pincer grasp milestone by their first birthday, they will already be moving on as they develop even finer motor skills.
What Pincer Grasp Activities Can Your Child Do to Develop It?
Modeling pincer grasp will help your baby understand what they should do. Show them how you pick up small objects using the tips of your index finger and thumb. Sometimes you may have to hold their other fingers for them to understand the feel of just using those two digits.
If your baby has already started finger foods, they are on their way to developing their pincer grasp. Small bits of food including dry cereal, puffs, pasta and cooked vegetables not only work their grasp, but encourages and rewards them in the process. These items are also safe for them to put into their mouth because they are the right size and consistency.
The toys that are age-appropriate for babies between eight months to twelve months have many gadgets and textures that promote pincer grasp development.
What If Your Baby Doesn’t Have a Pincer Grasp?
As with every child, everyone develops at their own rate. Activities that are fun will encourage grasp development, but your child may still want to self-feed in their own style. Don’t stress if the milestone is not met right away. If you help or guide your baby, make sure that these activities are still fun and allow them to enjoy their new discoveries.
If your baby has no interest in picking up toys or foods or exhibits no sign of pincer grasp development, especially by twelve months old, be sure to speak with your pediatrician. They can assure you if your baby is developing at their own speed or if you need to discuss interventions such as an occupational therapist who can help you and your child work toward the developmental milestones.

Having good, working brakes is imperative to ensure you and your passengers are as safe as possible, as well as other drivers on the road. When brakes give out, sometimes even in an emergency, it can cause problems, often serious. So regular inspections are important, especially at the first signs of trouble.
Not only is maintaining your car brakes important to safety, but it can save you from needless expenses down the road. Your car’s brakes are designed to be the last line of defense, so ensuring they are always in good condition should be a top priority. When brake pads wear down, consider replacing them, especially if they’re making the brakes squeal.
If the pads keep wearing down after they start squealing they could damage the rotor, leaving it in need of repair or replacement. Performing a basic inspection can be simple when you come into Honest-1 Auto Care for an assessment.
A good rule of thumb is to have brakes serviced about every other oil change or every six months. This way, it can be done when the car is already being serviced, which saves time and money. You can detect small problems before they become larger and more costly. And when you have regular car maintenance with our experts, you can count on our certified car repair specialists to get the job done right.
Contact us if it’s time to get your brake service done at our Glendale, AZ auto repair shop, where we will schedule an appointment at a convenient time for you. We take pride in the service we provide to each and every customer, ensuring your brakes stay strong, keeping you and your passengers safe. Contact us at (602) 910-2539 today!

Thanks - I've found those. Are there any plans to make an SD library part of the official Energia distribution? It would be especially useful for the MSP430FR5994 LaunchPad.
Thank you for that suggestion, and sorry I missed the earlier topic. The 1.3.21 version of arduino-builder you linked to didn't work for me, but I tried the latest version 1.3.25 from here: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-builder/releases (I copied the file arduino-builder into Energia.app/Contents/Java/ replacing the one that's already there.) That seems to work fine - thanks!
A bit more information: - The error occurs for the board MSP-EXP4305529LP, but seems to occur whatever board I have selected. - The error occurs for minimal sketches, eg Blink. - I think the last time it worked was before upgrading my Mac from El Capitan to High Sierra. - The Arduino IDE (version 1.8.5) works fine. I hope someone can help, as I am a bit stuck without the Energia IDE.
Any progress on the MSP430FR5994 support in Energia? If it's a problem making it compatible with both msp430-elf-gcc and msp430-gcc, couldn't you release an initial version with reduced compatibility?
That's great news! I'll get myself a board so I'm ready for it.
That's really useful - thank you.
Thanks. So there's no way I can use the watchdog in an Energia project (and use delay() etc)?

Ready to Consider Downsizing to a Senior Living Community?
After you or a loved one has made the important decision to downsize and move to a senior living community, it’s time to start researching all your options. Whether you’re looking for a community that offers independent living for seniors in a private home or apartment, or need an option that offers help with daily living activities in a comfortable assisted living apartment, knowing what questions to ask and what to look for on your tour can help you through this transitional time.
It’s recommended to visit several communities as you search for a new home for yourself or a loved one. Don’t immediately settle on the first option, or choose the community simply because it’s the closest one to your or your loved one’s current home.
Note the state of the hallways, rooms and grounds. Throughout your tour of the community, observe how well-maintained the hallways, common areas and landscaping are. There should be communal areas both inside and outside that are clean, inviting and pleasantly decorated.
Sit with residents for a meal. The quality of the food the community offers is vital to overall health and happiness! To get a true feel for the dining offerings, actually sit down with the current residents for lunch or dinner on a regular day. Find out what the residents think about the menu, and whether or not the kitchen staff adequately accommodates dietary restrictions or food allergies.
How is the building secured?
Does the staff undergo background checks?
Are emergency systems in place for all levels of care?
What are the visiting hours for friends and loved ones?
Does the community offer accommodations for overnight guests?
What social activities or events are planned?
Is off-campus transportation available for errands or appointments?
Your goal is to discover as much about the community as you possibly can to make sure it will match your expectations.
Get online feedback about the community. Your tour doesn’t end at the retirement community. Along with talking to current residents about what they enjoy most about living there, you should also look for online reviews to learn what others have experienced. Weigh the amount of positive reviews against the negative.
Trust your instincts. If you find you or your loved one are having a difficult time making a decision, remember to go with your gut. Was there one community in particular that offered a variety of social activities that best fit your interests? Did you like the floorplan of one living space better than another? Take a break or get a good night’s sleep before making your final decision, or even write down lists of pros and cons of your favorite senior living communities.
Remember, this experience is all about discovering where you or your loved one will be happy and comfortable, as well as gaining peace of mind that any future healthcare needs will be met.
Concordia is a full-service continuing care retirement community in Oklahoma City. We’ve compiled a helpful guidebook to designed to help you make the most informed decision possible in regards to finding the right senior living option for your needs.

Katniss does not have to worry. I will eat a whole Blaze pizza* and not feel one bit bad about it. Besides, Iman, you know her, she’s the gorgeous angular, exotic toothpick widow of David Bowie, said that older women should maintain an extra five or ten pounds to keep our faces looking young. That extra bit of fat plumps out the wrinkles, see, and keeps us from drooping into our later years. I feel like if five or ten pounds is enough for Iman with her gorgeous cheekbones, then I need to go a step further with my lesser cheekbones. Maybe more like twenty-five or thirty pounds, yeah? I’m just doing my part to look young, to inspire all these kids to embrace aging with relish.
*For the record, Blaze pizzas are created for single individuals and are as thin as a Kleenex. They are meant to be eaten in one sitting because they are small and taste terrible when they get cold.
Speaking of looking young and beauty routines, I thought I’d share some of my tips and secrets with you today. I turned 44 a month or so ago and when I tell people, they’ve often said, “Well, you barely look over 43 and a half, what’s your secret?” I’ll tell you.
Ain’t that awesome? I’m down to the bottom of the jar now so I have to stick my longest finger down in it and scrape some out which I then smear on my eyes, squishing it all around until the mascara finally releases its spidery death grip on my lashes and gets washed off with a very thin washcloth which has permanent mascara stains. Works great! I think the fat from the coconut oil and the potential allergy issues I could have from the amount of cat fur in my house (behold below) keep my eyes nice and puffy which as we read earlier, keeps the wrinkles from wrinkling which makes me look youthful!
Once I have performed all beauty ablutions, I head to the closet to pick my clothing for the day. I told you once that I like to wear wafty, gauzy, floaty things because they make me look like a calm and serene type person. This remains true. I also believe that they make me appear younger. No “good looking” severely cut blazers for me. No skin tight pencil skirts with fitted shirts that emphasize my (not) tiny waist and (not) bubbly bum. I like stuff that doesn’t really touch me. Ideally. In reality, it turns out that wafty, gauzy, floaty things make me look pregnant as proven by the eight-year-old girl who caught me talking to her eight-year-old boyfriend at church.
Well, at least I look young enough to be pregnant.
Lancome Eyelash Primer – Oh my crackers, this stuff is expensive but it WORKS!
Benefit Mascara, Black – Talk about tar but this mascara will give you the best spidery lashes in the world!
Clinique Chubby Stick, Mightiest Maraschino – I wore this lipstick the other day and a girl at work said, “Wow, you look edgy. Kind of bitchy. I wouldn’t mess with you at all!” Thank you, my work here is done.
A Hair in My Biscuit’s Hot/Cold Eye Mask – Martie makes these and I keep one in the freezer at all times. When you have slept in cat fur all night (Thank you, Murphy) or eaten too much salt (Thank you, anything more than one grain) or stayed up too late watching Downton Abbey (Thank you, Amazon Prime), you’ll want one.
Flax clothing – Generously sized so that when I purchase a medium and it floats around me, I feel dainty and small. This I love because the only other way I’d ever feel dainty and small was if I had lunch next to Shaquille O’Neal.
I think this whole list screams youthful, don’t you? I mean, isn’t that what youthful really means? Very poor decisions regarding things that really do matter and very expensive decisions on things that do not? Don’t care. I love my caterpillar eyelashes.
Don’t look a minute over 43, do I? Puffy eyes and all.
I’ll never be beige! That’s a great lesson.
Nobody can look as good as you, Jimmie. That curling iron may not agree, but I think you’re rockin’ it!
You taught me everything I know about exterior illumination, and I thank you for it.

Welcome to my site! I was born in New York City. We lived on 9th street until I was almost 3 years old, at which time we moved to Greenwich, CT. The only two memories I have of the apartment in New York are that my parents had some sort of straw or jute rug in their bedroom that hurt my feet when I walked on it, and that my brother had a Joe Namath radio that was positioned on the shelf in our room such that I looked at it as I fell asleep.
I went to Greenwich Public Schools and then to Columbia for my undergraduate degree in Economics. While at Columbia I worked a few days per week for my father’s investment company, R.B. Haave Associates. At this point my parents had divorced and my father moved to Stamford and around when I graduated moved his office to New Canaan, CT. I worked for him in New Canaan until early 2000.
During this time I was active in Greenwich politics and for a while had my own radio show.
I moved to Oklahoma City in 2002. In Oklahoma I had jobs with Devon Energy, where I managed over $1 billion in short-term investments, and then later as the Director of the Investment and Consulting Group of Asset Services Corporation ($4 billion under advisement) and as the Chief Investment Officer of Investrust, N.A with over $2 billion of assets.
I left Investrust/Asset Services in the beginning of 2007.. It was after this that I started to take on the life of the global transient.
During this time I was involved in various real estate and contracting projects, including the refurbishment of the Central Bank of Liberia and numerous properties in Panama.
It was around this time that I started focusing in on what I thought the next big need was in global finance.
The offshore asset protection industry suffers from management and administration that is not used to working at US service and compliance levels, and the offshore investment industry suffers from a short-term, commission based outlook.
It’s for this reason my friend Bobby Casey( Global Wealth Protection) and I founded Agora Trust.
I generally believe that living a free and stimulating life requires the shedding of personal possessions, and I suggest that you all give it a shot. If you live somewhere interesting drop me a line. I might come and visit your city for a while – so long as it is served by Star Alliance.
1. Many of the worlds problems are caused by unrealistically drawn borders by Europeans who drew borders in other nations for their own purposes and without regard to local cultural concerns.
2. Most of the violence and corruption in the world not related to poorly drawn borders is related to the War on Drugs. 3rd world people have zero interest in the War on Drugs, but US policy and economic “aid” keeps their governments in line. Fortunately this appears to be changing.
3. Modern economics is hopelessly corrupted with entire schools of thought plagued by clearly wrong ideas. The best example being that consumption drives economic growth as opposed to investment and production.
4. People are largely irrational – this is a key difference I have with the Austrian School of Economics.
5. Anytime the US government and media agree on a narrative of a political or historical issue,not only is it untrue but in fact the exact opposite is true.
6. Americans have a strange notion that most of the rest of the world is unsafe when in fact all of Europe and many other places are far safer than the US.
7. Get rid of your possessions.

Criminal mischief charges are often the result of vandalism, as in the case of spray painting or the destruction of valuables during a domestic dispute. A charge of criminal mischief can be quite serious, as the degree of crime varies depending upon the amount of property that has been damaged. Under New Jersey law, it does not matter if the property is public, private, or even if it appears to be abandoned, which is often the case. A conviction for criminal mischief carries penalties such as mandatory community service, probation, thousands of dollars in restitution and possibly even jail. It is for these reasons that it is very important to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer who will defend your interests. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Proetta & Oliver represent clients who have been charged with criminal mischief throughout Middlesex County, including Edison, Sayreville, Helmetta, New Brunswick, Monroe Township, and East Brunswick. Our lawyers strive to have criminal mischief charges downgraded to municipal ordinance status or even dismissed altogether, depending upon the particular facts of each case. Contact our office today for a free initial consultation with an experienced criminal mischief defense attorney at (732) 659-9600.
Under New Jersey Statute 2C: 17-3, criminal mischief has been given a very broad meaning that encompasses a wide range of criminal actions and property damaged. Generally, the degree of the crime is determined by the type of property that has been damaged as well as the amount of monetary loss involved. The New Jersey criminal mischief statute explains that a person is guilty of criminal mischief if he or she purposely or knowingly damages someone else’s property; damages another person’s tangible property recklessly or negligently while using fire, explosives, or other dangerous means; or purposely, knowingly or recklessly tampers with somone else’s property in a manner that endangers the person or property (including damaging or destroying a rental property by a tenant who is being evicted).
The grading of a charge for criminal mischief is based on the estimated monetary value of the property that was damaged in the course of the offense. Specifically, criminal mischief is a third degree crime if the property damage amounts to $2,000.00 or more. It is a fourth degree offense if the damage is between $500.00 and $2000.00. Lastly, it is a disorderly persons offense if the actor causes damage amounting to $500.00 or less. In the most serious criminal mischief cases, the offense will be charged as a second degree crime if it involved a disruption or tampering with a public service and someone was injured or killed as a result of the offense.
To help you understand the potential penalties for a violation of the criminal mischief (vandalism) statute in New Jersey Law, a chart is provided below outlining the degree of crimes and penalties as they pertain to criminal mischief charges in NJ.
The penalties for criminal mischief in New Jersey also include community service and restitution payments to the victim. In fact, vandalism charges involving graffiti require mandatory community service where the person must spend time cleaning the property damaged during their offense.
If you or a loved one is facing criminal mischief charges, do not take it lightly. Even a disorderly persons offense of criminal mischief will result in a permanent criminal record and potential exposure to jail, probation, and steep fines and other assessments. Due to the nature of the charge, it is common for our lawyers to represent clients for ancillary charges in connection with criminal mischief. These may include crimes such as Burglary and Defiant Trespass. As founding attorney, William A. Proetta, Esq. has personally handled scores of criminal and municipal court cases during his career. Of these cases include many successfully defended criminal mischief charges. We represent clients throughout Middlesex County including Plainsboro, South Brunswick, Old Bridge, Dunellen, and South Amboy and we are often able to negotiate a plea arrangement that does not result in a criminal conviction for the client. If you are interested in gaining assistance with the criminal mischief charge facing you or your loved one, then feel free to contact one of our experienced criminal mischief defense lawyers who will build a customized case strategy centered upon your legal needs and the facts of your case.

Thoughts are energy and they do manifest into things. So how can you make the connection of what your thinking and what you are manifesting? . One easy place to start is to be mindful and deliberate with your thoughts. If you aren’t always pleased with what is showing up and manifesting in your life, a simple understanding is to notice how you are encouraging yourself or being critical of yourself. I have found critical self talk to be one of the biggest habits holding you back from your dreams and self worth.
I know we do not always shift things from 1st gear to 5th gear all at once. In a car, for example, we know that doing this will burn out the clutch. The same holds true in life which is why we must practice our way of thoughts and habits by shifting a little at a time. I find it helpful to be easy on ourselves in the process. When we stop and analyze our self talk, it can be discouraging to notice how we have made it a habit of being so tough on our mistakes and choices. We are not often taught deliberate thinking and loving ourselves even when we make errors. So the 1st gear, or baby step, is to be gentle with ourselves. When we reflect on how things are or have been, (instead of beating up on ourselves for every little thing), remember that little saying that hind sight is 50/50. (50/50 or 20/20?) Most of the time we are doing the best we can from the consciousness level we are at. As we look back or experience the journey, we learn what works and what doesn’t. If we knew for sure the outcome ahead of time, we would not be having this human experience.
We often think to ourselves about what we “should have done”, “why did we make those mistakes”, “how could we have been so naive”, or the classic “I always mess things up”. We are really wasting our energy focusing on negative thoughts. The reason I use the term wasting is because we have the choice in every moment of how to focus our thoughts and energy. When we spend time being hard or critical on ourselves we are blocking blessings and positive energy that we are wanting to attract. To improve or create the life we wish & desire to live, we are attracting the opposite when we are being hard on ourselves.
So if you are not talking to yourself like you would your child or a loved one in your life, did you know that you are creating things you probably do not want?
When we fear, worry, and doubt, it attracts unwanted circumstances and events. When we say kind things to ourselves and soothe ourselves into better and more positive feelings, we start to consciously create more happy and joyful experiences. This is how we have the power and free will to create our life.
I like to give everyday, simple suggestions that may empower you to feel like positive change can be easy and work for you. Especially if your experiencing a string of stressful moments and situations.
Remind yourself that you are doing the best you can, and encourage the bright side of the situation. You may have to look a little more to find it, but there is always a good perspective in any situation. You just may have to shift your focus and perspective to match that frequency. You may have to sit with it for a while until some peace comes. When frustrated about a situation, you may have to focus on something totally different and give your mind a break. That change in energy can either bring you clarity, or, many times, you’ll be surprised that the circumstances actually work themselves out.
And all you had to do was think differently.
Spend some quiet time either envisioning how you’d like to see things turn out and bring gratitude to your imagination, OR you can spend some time remembering good times or delightful surprises in your lifetime. By spending a little time and energy with your mind in these positive ways, You actually are creating the space and platform for more happiness and joyful experiences.
Be more light hearted. Don’t take everything you see and hear so seriously. Laugh at your self and your mistakes more. You’ll learn they really weren’t so big of a deal after all. I’ve learned the more I embrace my mistakes and errors as funny, the more I can sustain my positive radar. When you reveal your true self (errors and all), other people not only relate to you more, but you give them the room and courage to be their happy self. When you evoke kindness and easiness from yourself, you get to see and experience that with others. When you neglect your own thoughts and feelings, you truly can’t give the joy to others because you have never given it to yourself. Don’t try to hide your quirkiness, weirdness, or what you “think” society will see as faults. We were created differently, uniquely, and beautiful. It’s time to remind yourself of that and show it now. Embrace it, flaunt it, and encourage it. The more true and authentic you are to yourself, the more you’ll attract that joy from yourself, and you will invoke it from others. You’ll even rendezvous with more like you…. Like attracts Like…. What are you thinking to yourself?
Remember you have the wherewithal to change it. You are a powerful and creative being. You can do this even if it’s a little at a time. The more you practice, the better you get.
Watch for the joy adjustments.
According to A course in Miracles, A miracle is just a shift in perspective. Sometimes we get stuck in seeing things one way. Our perceptions may be taught or from our experiences in our life to form opinions. When we are troubled or can’t figure a way around our obstacles, we have an opportunity to see it from another perspective. This is how we can have peace amongst our circumstances. In life we can experience shifts, storms, and waves that pass. But how do we maintain our joy during these times.
One of the most powerful tools I have found helpful in my times of contrast is meditation. I like to refer to it as quiet time, centering, or maybe just a time out. So many people get confused on the purpose and “how to” meditate. When it’s misunderstood and intimidating, many times individuals do not give it much a chance. Again, I like to simplify matters to make it feel possible or helpful.
The first step is take some quiet time for yourself. We often look outside ourselves for answers and perspectives when the guidance we need is already on the inside. And to hear that requires tuning in and listening. It may take a few days or even weeks before we hear or “realize” what we are searching for. Especially if we’ve been listening to more of the noise of our outside world of people, television, internet, etc…rather than our own soul.
When we take this time whether it be a few minutes or an hour, it can be a little overwhelming at first. Because we are so use to being distracted by our stream of thoughts. We practice them for a long time and it can take a little patience with ourselves to be aware of those distractions. There is a difference between the ego/mind and the observer (our soul). The voices in our head often come from our upbringing, family, education, culture, religion, and opinions. For that reason it is ok not to be so hard on ourselves for the thoughts that walk through our mind. It is things we have picked up along our way. That is not our soul and intuition speaking to us.
The quiet time provides you an opportunity to observe the head and ego and let the thoughts pass through. It’s like driving down the road and you pass trees, cars, many things along the way. You can let them pass through rather than trying to force no thought. This is where I think many people get confused on meditation and give up. They think they can not do it because of the stream of thinking. With practice you can slow it down, but you do not have to get bent out of shape because our ego’s like to talk. There are many different ways people use in their meditation practice to slow this “Jabbering” down. That is why there are so many methods and suggestions you can read up on. Some people just count their breaths. Some chant. Some just focus on a prayer, word, or color. You may have to play a little to see what comes easy to you. There is no right or wrong way. The purpose is to focus on one of these things to help clear your mind or slow it down. I’ve heard many call it their “monkey mind”. When you concentrate on a word, or counting breaths, this makes it difficult to listen to thoughts at the same time. So you can slow it down to tune into your inner voice by using any of these methods rather than being frustrated on trying to sit in total silence.
We always have access to our inner self, but we may need to learn ways to tune in it to or listen to it. For some it may be a feeling or a realization. It will be different for everyone. Once we create some time and space for ourself, we can strengthen our awareness and guidance from our authentic self. This is where we get the shift in perspective or the guidance we are seeking. Sometimes we have to sit in our quiet time until we can see things differently. This is how we change our life. We can find peace and joy by changing the way we see things and our perception of what is going on without trying to control conditions. Because most conditions are out of our control. It is the way we see them that can upset or frustrate us. Since we can’t always change what is going on, we have the power of changing our perception and receiving relief now even if the condition never changes. And our purpose that most of us search for is being happy. And how can you be happy when things aren’t always going the way you may want them to? It is through our perception. Be easy on yourself. Start with giving yourself some quiet time. Even if it’s only a few minutes. Start there. See if it brings you some calmness. The more you practice and give that to yourself, the more clarity, peace, and joy you can feel for yourself. Once you feel that for yourself, You can extend it out to others. Your family, friends, loved ones, job, and whomever you come across in your daily life. Meditation or “quiet time” is just one of many tools/processes we can use to shift into joy and calmness in our every day life.

Dassyutu Game - Room Escape 17 is another Japanese point and click type escape the room game developed by InfoWEB. In this game, you try to escape the room by finding items and solving puzzles. Good luck and have fun!
for the "direction/arrow" puzzle, more than one clue is needed.
keep in mind what mirrors do.
hi cate,do you mean bottom drawer arrows ?
hi back, kevaus...yes. the visual clue you get for arrows has to be combined with info from something else...i'll spoil it, if you like.
Hi Cate and keavus....where to use mirror?
kevaus, the clue you find will give the order...it's not straight ahead 1234.
hey vanja, roam around upstairs and look "out of reach".
My only problem was with the clock, on night table. Use battery there.
This was very logical and quite fun! Great job!
Out with 9 coins. nice!
use crowbar on floor between shelf and coat rack. It gives you color ink for printer.
use scissors on envelope when you get it.
Nice, but only 9 coins. There's no coin for me in the mirror-puzzle-drawer.
Btw, I can't fill in the letters from right to left on that one, but only from left to right.
Tenth coin was drawer opened from mirror clue - it opens two ways: letters as shown on mirror and reversed where the p becomes a q. If opened with the q way you get the key AND a coin.
Nafanja, I had the same problem the second time I played (I always play twice!). Once you open the window, the alarm goes off - use that number. If you opened window before putting battery in, alarm will sound as soon as battery is in.
