The CORD alliance presidential candidate Raila Odinga has secured the backing of a section of Muslim clerics, rekindling the 2007 memories of a controversial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Muslim community. According to Citizen News footage, the Muslim clerics told the Prime Minister that there was no need of an MoU, but insisted that he must ensure full implementation of the constitution, to assure all Kenyans their rightful share of the national cake.
The CORD line up, a day after its unveiling, challenged its opponents in the Kibaki succession contest to conduct issue-based campaigns, and desist from politics of name calling.
I congratulate our brothers from the Muslim faith for standing with the one and only one man among those seeking the presidency they have the confidence to know will lead bila ubaguzi against any Kenyan and will make sure the interests of the Muslim community are in the front burner and will remain there and better as they have always been in Raila’s order of priorities.

Without the services of Referee Mark Randolph, Ultimate Match Fishing would be completely out of control. According to "THE REF", "My job is simple. I watch the anglers and wait until one makes a stupid mistake, then I get to do what I love more than anything in this world. I fire them up as loudly as I can. Nothing gives me more joy and pleasure than blowing the whistle and watching a guy come right out of his shoes. David Walker, Gary Klein, Aaron Martens, I don't really care who you are. If you cast across the line, if you land a fish over the line, if you simply cross the line with your rod in hand then I will call you. You can argue, whine, moan, throw a fit. Doesn't matter. I'm the final word, period. I'm the judge, the jury, and if need be, the executioner. And why even bother? After all, I haven't missed or made a bad call yet. And I'm really looking forward to this season." This season is going to be fun... really fun!

Blogging and any form of web development can be a little nerve-racking at first. I’ve been developing web and social media content for non-profit organizations for almost a decade, but Wellness1st.net is the first website I’ve developed completely on my own and for my own interests. Not having an IT department to support “back-end” hiccups has definitely been a unique learning experience. I’ve gone through a fair share of challenges but the reward of producing something you hold dear is nothing less than exhilarating.
There are many things to consider when building a website. Whether it’s for business or personal interest, various steps and legalities need to be researched. Having a BA in Communications definitely helped me, but it didn’t get me far when it came to the tech side of things. I looked to my professional and social network, Google, and MANY online tutorials to help me get the ball rolling.
As the internet continuously evolves, so does personal knowledge and growth. Simply put, the learning never ends! To bring you engaging content, I have created this page to share tip’bits of info I’ve found helpful. If starting a blog or creating a website is something you’re interested in doing don’t be discouraged, pick up the reigns and do it – you won’t be disappointed!

I note what you say about guiding our patient's reading and taking care that he sees a good deal of his materialist friend. But are you not being a trifle naïf? It sounds as if you supposed that argument was the way to keep him out of the Enemy's clutches. That might have been so if he had lived a few centuries earlier. At that time the humans still knew pretty well when a thing was proved and when it was not; and if it was proved they really believed it. They still connected thinking with doing and were prepared to alter their way of life as the result of a chain of reasoning. But what with the weekly press and other such weapons we have largely altered that. Your man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to have a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" of "false", but as "academic" or "practical", "outworn" or "contemporary", "conventional" or "ruthless". Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong, or stark, or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about.
One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do riot mean the Church as we see her spread but through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That, I confess, is a spectacle which makes I our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately it is quite invisible to these humans. All your patient sees is the half-finished, sham Gothic erection on the new building estate. When he goes inside, he sees the local grocer with rather in oily expression on his face bustling up to offer him one shiny little book containing a liturgy which neither of them understands, and one shabby little book containing corrupt texts of a number of religious lyrics, mostly bad, and in very small print. When he gets to his pew and looks round him he sees just that selection of his neighbours whom he has hitherto avoided. You want to lean pretty heavily on those neighbours. Make his mind flit to and fro between an expression like "the body of Christ" and the actual faces in the next pew. It matters very little, of course, what kind of people that next pew really contains. You may know one of them to be a great warrior on the Enemy's side. No matter. Your patient, thanks to Our Father below, is a fool. Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune, or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous. At his present stage, you see, he has an idea of "Christians" in his mind which he supposes to be spiritual but which, in fact, is largely pictorial. His mind is full of togas and sandals and armour and bare legs and the mere fact that the other people in church wear modern clothes is a real—though of course an unconscious—difficulty to him. Never let it come to the surface; never let him ask what he expected them to look like. Keep everything hazy in his mind now, and you will have all eternity wherein to amuse yourself by producing in him the peculiar kind of clarity which Hell affords.
Work hard, then, on the disappointment or anticlimax which is certainly coming to the patient during his first few weeks as a churchman. The Enemy allows this disappointment to occur on the threshold of every human endeavour. It occurs when the boy who has been enchanted in the nursery by Stories from the Odyssey buckles down to really learning Greek. It occurs when lovers have got married and begin the real task of learning to live together. In every department of life it marks the transition from dreaming aspiration to laborious doing. The Enemy takes this risk because He has a curious fantasy of making all these disgusting little human vermin into what He calls His "free" lovers and servants—"sons" is the word He uses, with His inveterate love of degrading the whole spiritual world by unnatural liaisons with the two-legged animals. Desiring their freedom, He therefore refuses to carry them, by their mere affections and habits, to any of the goals which He sets before them: He leaves them to "do it on their own". And there lies our opportunity. But also, remember, there lies our danger. If once they get through this initial dryness successfully, they become much less dependent on emotion and therefore much harder to tempt.
2. It is, no doubt, impossible to prevent his praying for his mother, but we have means of rendering the prayers innocuous. Make sure that they are always very "spiritual", that he is always concerned with the state of her soul and never with her rheumatism. Two advantages follow. In the first place, his attention will be kept on what he regards as her sins, by which, with a little guidance from you, he can be induced to mean any of her actions which are inconvenient or irritating to himself. Thus you can keep rubbing the wounds of the day a little sorer even while he is on his knees; the operation is not at all difficult and you will find it very entertaining. In the second place, since his ideas about her soul will be very crude and often erroneous, he will, in some degree, be praying for an imaginary person, and it will be your task to make that imaginary person daily less and less like the real mother—the sharp-tongued old lady at the breakfast table. In time, you may get the cleavage so wide that no thought or feeling from his prayers for the imagined mother will ever flow over into his treatment of the real one. I have had patients of my own so well in hand that they could be turned at a moment's notice from impassioned prayer for a wife's or son's "soul" to beating or insulting the real wife or son without a qualm.
3. When two humans have lived together for many years it usually happens that each has tones of voice and expressions of face which are almost unendurably irritating to the other. Work on that. Bring fully into the consciousness of your patient that particular lift of his mother's eyebrows which he learned to dislike in the nursery, and let him think how much he dislikes it. Let him assume that she knows how annoying it is and does it to annoy—if you know your job he will not notice the immense improbability of the assumption. And, of course, never let him suspect that he has tones and looks which similarly annoy her. As he cannot see or hear himself, this is easily managed.
The amateurish suggestions in your last letter warn me that it is high time for me to write to you fully on the painful subject of prayer. You might have spared the comment that my advice about his prayers for his mother it "proved singularly unfortunate". That is not the sort of thing that a nephew should write to his uncle—nor a junior tempter to the under-secretary of a department. It also reveals an unpleasant desire to shift responsibility; you must learn to pay for your own blunders.
But of course the Enemy will not meantime be idle. Wherever there is prayer, there is danger of His own immediate action. He is cynically indifferent to the dignity of His position, and ours, as pure spirits, and to human animals on their knees He pours out self-knowledge in a quite shameless fashion. But even if He defeats your first attempt at misdirection, we have a subtler weapon. The humans do not start from that direct perception of Him which we, unhappily, cannot avoid. They have never known that ghastly luminosity, that stabbing and searing glare which makes the background of permanent pain to our lives. If you look into your patient's mind when he is praying, you will not find that. If you examine the object to which he is attending, you will find that it is a composite object containing many quite ridiculous ingredients. There will be images derived from pictures of the Enemy as He appeared during the discreditable episode known as the Incarnation: there will be vaguer—perhaps quite savage and puerile—images associated with the other two Persons. There will even be some of his own reverence (and of bodily sensations accompanying it) objectified and attributed to the object revered. I have known cases where what the patient called his "God" was actually located—up and to the left at the corner of the bedroom ceiling, or inside his own head, or in a crucifix on the wall. But whatever the nature of the composite object, you must keep him praying to it—to the thing that he has made, not to the Person who has made him. You may even encourage him to attach great importance to the correction and improvement of his composite object, and to keeping it steadily before his imagination during the whole prayer. For if he ever comes to make the distinction, if ever he consciously directs his prayers "Not to what I think thou art but to what thou knowest thyself to be", our situation is, for the moment, desperate. Once all his thoughts and images have been flung aside or, if retained, retained with a full recognition of their merely subjective nature, and the man trusts himself to the completely real, external, invisible Presence, there with him in the room and never knowable by him as he is known by it—why, then it is that the incalculable may occur. In avoiding this situation—this real nakedness of the soul in prayer—you will be helped by the fact that the humans themselves do not desire it as much as they suppose. There's such a thing as getting more than they bargained for!
self-indulgence on your part leads to the ultimate loss of the prey, you will be left eternally thirsting for that draught of which you are now so much enjoying your first sip. If, on the other hand, by steady and cool-headed application here and now you can finally secure his soul, he will then be yours forever—a brim-full living chalice of despair and horror and astonishment which you can raise to your lips as often as you please. So do not allow any temporary excitement to distract you from the real business of undermining faith and preventing the formation of virtues. Give me without fail in your next letter a full account of the patient's reactions to the war, so that we can consider whether you are likely to do more good by making him an extreme patriot or an ardent pacifist. There are all sorts of possibilities. In the meantime, I must warn you not to hope too much from a war.

Summer is right around the corner, which means poolside parties and barbecues. But don't get caught in the bad habit of constantly drinking fruity summer cocktails, which are filled with calories and carbs ... For example, a mudslide is like a milkshake, but with lots of alcohol: Kahlua coffee liqueur, Bailey's Irish cream and ice cream (and chocolate syrup drizzled on top). This tasty treat has more than 850 calories and about 20 grams of fat.
Malt liquors, like wine coolers, often taste lighter than other alcoholic beverages and therefore are easier to consume. But don't be fooled: The average wine cooler contains at least 200 calories.
Pina coladas are one of the worst summer drinks you can have if you are on a diet: A mixture of rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream and brown sugar, a typical pina colada can contain approximately 650 calories.
Mojitos are a concoction of sugar, lime juice, rum and club soda. And we all know that sugar = calories. Mojitos typically contain anywhere from 220 to 240 calories per drink.
A strawberry daiquiri is a good way to consume at least 200 calories, if not more. Made with strawberry Schnapps, rum, lime juice, sugar and strawberries, the fruit is about the only nutritional value you are are going to get in this drink.
On average, one bottle of beer contains about 150 calories and 13 grams of carbohydrates. And when was the last time you went to a party and drank only one beer? Say you have six beers ... that's at least 900 calories and 78 carbs, not to mention any food you might be snacking on.
Although it's not as colorful as some other summer drinks, a mint julep contains more than 450 calories. It's made of bourbon, mint and sugar.
Margaritas, made with tequila, triple sec and frozen limeade concentrate, can contain more than 800 calories if the concentrate is high in sugar.

It all started in 1995 with one message: Eat Mor Chikin. Twenty-three years later, the Chick-fil-A Cows can still be spotted all over the country – from their original home on billboards, to water towers, Major League Baseball stadiums and even on television. And just once a year, the Cows (and their lookalikes) can be found in herds at Chick-fil-A restaurants from coast to coast.
July 10, 2018 will mark the 14th year of Chick-fil-A’s annual Cow Appreciation Day, and to celebrate, here are a few of our favorite moo-ments with the Chick-fil-A Cows.
Cow on the Moooove: Among the largest of its kind, the 40-foot, 36,000-pound Chick-fil-A Cow at the Atlanta Braves’ Turner Field was lifted by crane and given a little makeover in New Orleans to prepare for its move to the new SunTrust Park. The Cow now happily continues to root on its home team.
Cow Rites of Passage in New York City: Before Chick-fil-A opened its first New York City location in 2015, the Cow learned to do as New Yorkers do – from taking the subway to getting acclimated in a tiny apartment – before the restaurant set up shop in New York’s Garment District.
Cows Flee the Barn: National Burger Day meant one thing for the Cows – it was time to get out of town. While they were away, they listed their barn on Homestay and invited guests to come stay in their digs – and of course, to Eat Mor Chikin during their visit.
Cows Make History: In 2007, the iconic Cows were inducted into the Madison Avenue Advertising Hall of Fame in New York City. A few years later, the Cows made their mark again, claiming their very own exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
Record-Breaking Cows: In 2013, 470 cow-clad people gathered at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia to break the current Guinness World Record for “largest gathering of people dressed as cows.” Talk about a herd!
Can’t get enough of the Chick-fil-A Cows? Don’t forget to show your spots on Cow Appreciation Day – coming up on Tuesday, July 10. Post about it on social media using #CowAppreciationDay for a chance to be featured in one of our “Best of Cow Appreciation Day” round-ups!

Rumbles, thunderclaps and a baleful reading from the Old Testament prophet Amos — “I will slay the last of them with my sword” — opened the set by Lustmord on Sunday night at the Abrons Arts Center, the finale of the Unsound Festival of electronic and contemporary music and video. It was an extraordinarily rare live performance by the British musician Brian Williams, who has been recording as Lustmord since 1980 but has given only a handful of public concerts during his career, emerging for the Unsound Festival in Krakow, Poland, last year.
Lustmord has been a pioneer of what is generally called dark ambient music. It is textural rather than melodic, ultra-slow and submerged in bass and sub-bass frequencies, merging natural reverberations — Lustmord has recorded in crypts — with electronic ones. It opens abysses and lingers in them. When Lustmord got started it was associated with post-punk industrial music. Mr. Williams was a member in the 1980s of the Australian industrial group SPK and more recently has collaborated with the Melvins and Tool. While recording prolifically as Lustmord he has worked extensively as a sound designer in Hollywood, bringing ominous resonances to movie soundtracks.
Now that equipment is portable enough to recreate and manipulate the sounds he assembled over the decades in the studio, a concert setting, free of distractions or interruptions and enveloped by the music, is ideal for Lustmord. Behind Mr. Williams and his laptop a screen showed images made by four video artists, changing in slow motion with computerized symmetries: smoke, clouds, flames, morphing three-dimensional white shapes, a circular kabbalah diagram. Subwoofers set the Henry Street auditorium shuddering.
The music moved at a tectonic pace, with its elements gradually welling up from subterranean depths. Within the drone and throb were deep Tibetan chants, orchestral strings, wordless choruses, distant howls, sustained synthesizer tones, dissonant buzzes, emerging and disappearing chords, and what might have been icebergs cracking, winds rushing, planes flying overhead and volcanoes erupting.
There was a pulse to the music, at first like the respiration of a sleeping leviathan and eventually with an established beat, created at first by a low repeating crash, like a tall tree falling. The music gradually accelerated to what would have been, in most concerts, the slowest dirge; a steady drumbeat surfaced, and eventually a syncopated one, only to disappear within a looming, buzzing drone. The last stretch of the music was marginally more conventional, with rushes of cymbals and hovering, Penderecki-like classical choirs. Another beat emerged, steady and industrial, with jackhammer sounds. But it, too, would be swallowed in rumble and drone, manmade music reverting to primordial sound.

پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی تأثیر تحریکهای زیرآستانهای بر بازشناسی تظاهرات هیجانی چهره و همچنین مقایسهی دو گروه کودکان با ناتوانی یادگیری و عادی در بازشناسی ابرازات هیجانی چهره صورت گرفت. نمونهی پژوهش شامل 45 دانشآموز عادی و 45 دانشآموز با ناتوانی یادگیری میشد. آزمودنی‌ها برای مقایسه‌ی تأثیرات پیام‌های زیرآستانهای در سه گروه (الف. گروه کنترل: بازشناسی ابراز هیجانهای چهره بدونپیام زیرآستانهای، ب. گروه آزمایش اول: بازشناسی ابراز هیجانهای چهره با پیام زیرآستانهای مثبت، ج. گروه آزمایش دوم: بازشناسی ابرازات هیجانی چهرهای با پیام زیرآستانهای منفی، قرار گرفتند.در این پژوهش الگوی تحریک زیرآستانهای به همراه تحریکهای مختلفی از حالات هیجانی چهره به کار گرفته شد: هیجان مثبت(شادی) و هیجان منفی( غمگینی)، تصاویر زیرآستانهای در طول اجرای آزمون بازشناسی مکرراً و به سرعت (حدود 30هزارم ثانیه)ارائه میشدند. نتایج، تأثیر قوی تحریک زیرآستانهای با هیجان مثبت را بر پاسخ دهی بیشتر به ابرازات چهرهای شادی نشان داد. با این وجود، تأثیر تحریک زیرآستانهای هیجان منفی برای بازشناسی تظاهرات چهرهای غم، تنها در گروه دانشآموزان با ناتوانی یادگیری بدست آمد. علاوه بر این، پژوهش اخیر نشان داد که، دانش‌آموزان گروه عادی ابراز هیجانیغم را بهتر از سایر همتایان با ناتوانی یادگیریشان تشخیص می‌دهند، این در حالی است که دو گروه تفاوت معناداری در بازشناسی سایر هیجان‌ها نداشتند. در مجموع نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که واکنش‌های هیجانی مثبت و منفی می‌توانند به صورت ناخودآگاه فراخوانده شوند.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of subliminal primes on recognition of emotional facial expression and also comparing facial emotion recognition abilities in subjects with learning disabilities and without learning disabilities. Ninety subjects participated in the current study; including 45 student with learning disability(LD) ad 45 without LD. The subjects were compared for effectiveness of subliminal message in three groups: (a. control of group: recognition of emotional facial expressions without subliminal message b. first experimental group: recognition of emotional facial expressions with subliminal positive message c. second experimental groups: recognition of emotional facial expressions with subliminal negative message. also, compared recognition of emotional facial expression in normal children and (LD). In this study, a subliminal masked priming paradigm with varying faces as primes were used, and they were presented for duration of 30 ms and had two levels of emotion: positive emotion (happiness) and negative emotion (sadness). The results revealed a strong effect of emotional priming for positive emotion pictures. Participants both in normal group and LD tended to choose more target faces preceded by positive prime, when, subliminal prime was a positive emotion, but, the emotion priming for negative emotion pictures was only significant in LD group. Moreover, the current study demonstrated that normal group shows better recognition of sad facial expressions than the LD group, while the two groups do not differ in the recognition of other emotions. In other words, results show that both positive and negative emotional reactions can be unconsciously evoked.

Few people can live in an old house very long before the urge (or need) to strip woodwork sets in. The Speedheater 1100 Silent Paint Remover uses infrared heat to soften paint and varnish.
Why infrared as opposed to a heat gun's stream of hot air? According to the manufacturer, infrared heat is quicker and less costly to operate, while causing less damage to wood and creating less of a fire danger.

Sen. James Beach met with students during his Legislator-in-Residence visit.
GALLOWAY, N.J. - State Sen. James Beach visited Stockton University on Sept. 26-27 as the Legislator-in-Residence, a bipartisan program that alternates visits from legislators from each party, hosted by the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy.
Beach, of Voorhees Township, in Camden County, represents the 6th Legislative District and serves as Senate assistant majority leader. He is chairman of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee and a member of the Education Committee.
Beach began his visit with a tour of the Campus Center before meeting with Jason Babin, director of the Office of Veteran & Military Services, and student veterans, who spoke about veterans services and health care. He thanked the veterans for their service, as he did in every class he visited in which a veteran was a student.
He also met with Joe Marchetti, professor of Education in the Organizational Leadership program; and Holocaust Resource Center staff.
Throughout the second day, the senator attended classes, including Tools for Social Change, taught by Adjunct Instructor Rona Whitehead; Introduction to Politics, taught by Assistant Professor of Political Science (POLS) Lauren Balasco; and Group Politics, taught by Assistant Professor of POLS Claire Abernathy. He also had lunch with President Harvey Kesselman and others members of University leadership.
Beach visited the Coastal Research Center, where director Stewart Farrell and staff shared research on erosion along the New Jersey coast. He also toured the Stockton Polling Institute and the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy and met with Hughes Center Executive Director Sharon Schulman.
A former teacher, guidance counselor and school administrator, Beach said it was exciting to be back in the classroom talking with students and faculty and he was impressed with their enthusiasm and interest.
“It was very refreshing to meet with young people who are our future leaders,” he said. He was also impressed with the diversity of academic offerings at Stockton.
Beach was especially interested in the high school dual-credit program, and said he would like to connect school superintendents in his district with Stockton staff to learn more about such specialized courses such as Holocaust and Genocide Studies for high school students.
Past legislators-in-residence have included Senate President Steven Sweeney, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and Senators Loretta Weinberg, Jim Whelan, Joseph Kyrillos and Chris Connors, a Stockton graduate.

Misdiagnosis hits many Pennsylvanians every year - Soloff & Zervanos, P.C.
On behalf of Soloff & Zervanos, P.C. Posted in Medical Malpractice on Friday, February 6, 2015.
Diagnosis is one of the most important steps in treating a Pennsylvanians’ health condition. When it comes to the diagnostic process, Pennsylvania residents are no different from most Americans. These people have a tendency to trust every word their doctors say about their condition. This is not surprising considering that doctors and other health care providers study for several years and acquire adequate experience before they are able to actually practice. Despite that, doctors are humans who are not exempt from committing errors, including failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis.
In fact, according to a 2014 study released in the British Medical Journal Quality and Safety, diagnostic errors may impact as many as 12 million American adults every year. That is approximately one out of every 20 adults. The researchers revealed that half of those medical errors are lethal to patients. Of the different medical conditions that are prone to misdiagnosis, the researchers listed some of the most commonly misdiagnosed diseases.
For one, heart ailments kill millions of people every year. Some of those deaths may be attributed to the doctor’s misdiagnosis. According to the report, doctors may often miss the signs of a heart attack because the symptoms vary. Older adults may not have the same symptoms as younger people. Doctors may also misdiagnose fibromyalgia because it has symptoms of widespread muscle and joint pain. It may be mistaken as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Thyroid disease, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism are also commonly misdiagnosed because of the similarity in the symptoms to other conditions. Unfortunately, cancer is included in the most common misdiagnosed disease list as well. A report from the Journal of Clinical Oncology states that a cancer misdiagnosis happens as much as 28 to 44 percent of the time. A national survey found that the most misdiagnosed type of cancers are breast cancer, lymphoma, melanoma and sarcomas.

Another of my new irises. I had to take this shot at an angle as the recent rains had knocked it down. Photo taken in early evening with overcast skies. Processed in Elements 6 with High Pass and dodged and burned.
Camera settings: F/ 5.6, 1/800 sec., ISO 800, focal length 55 mm. No flash.
Took this at the same time I took the eucalyptus silhouette. This is our maple tree in partial silhouette. I used my little Fujifilm camera and it was a little harder to fool it into getting the shot. One of the great articles on silhouettes that were posted on the 2010 Virtual Photowalk home page suggested pushing down the shutter release partway while pointing towards the light area, then moving back to the dark areas to finish the release and get the shot. This seemed to work for me. This photo was processed with Topaz Clean and a 50% peach color gradient set on Overlay.
Camera settings: F/6.3, 1/1000 sec., ISO 800, focal length 28.7 mm. No flash.
Eucalyptus limbs at dusk at our house. Sharpened and burned.
Camera settings: F/6.8, 1/500 sec., ISO 64, focal length 63.3 mm. No flash.
Always happy as a clam, this is Holly our Jack Russell terrier. Processed with sharpening and some burning.
Camera settings: F/5.6, 1/2500 sec., ISO 800, focal length 123 mm. No flash.
Sculpture at California State University – Fresno. Taken today at Fresno State Vintage Days. I always look forward to Vintage Days as it is crafts, food and fun at the college campus. This photo was processed with Topaz Adjust HDR sketch.
Camera settings: F/4.5, 1/220 sec., ISO 64, focal length 21.3 mm. No flash.
This cars sits a few miles from us and I have been wanting to take a photograph of it for some time. Today I finally stopped and took a few shots. I had to shoot through the cyclone fence, but it worked out ok. The orange color was just so dynamic! I processed with Topaz Clean and ReMask. It was also cropped, rotated and dodged and burned. Added some white lines and script for some contrast and depth. Hope you like it.
Camera settings: F/6.3, 1/250 sec., ISO 64, focal length 6.3 mm. No flash.
A new iris that I ordered last fall. I photographed it about 6:30 pm to get evening light which works so well on warm colors. Processed with two layers of texture. Did some partial erasing on the texturing. Dodged and burned.
Camera settings: F/8, 1/160 sec., ISO 200, focal length 74 mm. No flash.

Is Wesley So in danger of dropping out from Top 10?
Le Grau-du-Roi, site of the French League Top 12 team chess tournament.
LAS VEGAS – When questions were raised about the decision of Team Wesley, the so-called band of advisers behind chess grandmaster Wesley So, about competing in minor tournaments instead of going for the more prestigious ones, these were haughtily dismissed.
The reasoning was, you’re just a kibitzer, and don’t know what you’re talking about.
But in competing in the French League Top 12 team tournament to be followed with the four-game series with David Navara, Wesley is likely to see a slide in world ranking that may dangerously knock him out of the Top 10.
His advisers made him commit to these tournaments when better ones were in the horizon – the Norway Chess championships, first leg of the $1-million plus Grand Chess Tour, and even the Capablanca Memorial tournament in Cuba.
The world’s best players, including world champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway, are competing in the Norway tournament, scheduled June 15-26. All are 2700+ players, except Hammer, the wild card entry.
The Capablanca Memorial in which So shot to international fame by winning the 2014 edition, is set June 14-26 in Havana, and features such players as Pavel Eljanov (2718), Lenier Perez Dominuez (2746) and Yu Yangyi (2716).
Also entered are Dmitry Andreikim (2718) and Ian Nepomniatchi (2720) in a strong tournament.
In contrast, Wesley is the highest rated player at the French League Top 12, although there are several other 2700 + players, such as Anish Giri, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Navara.
Wesley has not played with most 2700+ players (MVL is a teammate with Clinchy), and has slid down to 2778.7 live ratings, 9th in the world.
But if you’re the top seed – a Wesley is in France – there is a target behind your back and everyone is gunning for you.
The French League Top 12 was scheduled May 30 to June 9 while the So-Navara match is set Jun 12 -16, so obviously there were overlaps and choices have to be made.
In terms of prestige and prizes, the Norway Chess is an obvious choice, so it’s puzzling that Wesley’s team would skip it – unless an invitation was not extended, in the first place.
Same thing with Capablanca. It was a natural tournament for Wesley, who was heavily promoted here.
But an untruth was passed on that since Wesley is a permanent U.S. resident and there’s no diplomatic relations between Cuba and the U.S., there will be some travel complications.
But Wesley does not yet carry a U.S. passport since you have to be a citizen to have one, the lack of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba have no bearing at all.
Unless, it was to accommodate the chaperone who always accompany Wesley in all his travel and carries only a U.S. passport. Then, it makes sense.
As for the match up with Navara, the top Czech player but rated only No. 16 in the world (2747.2), it’s being hyped as preparation for a future match against Carlsen.
If a match for the world championship is ever to happen for So, it will still be way down the road. His opportunity in 2015 is through the World Cup, but winning one of the two top slots, is extremely difficult.
Scheduled Sept. 10 to Oct. 4 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the World Cup is a knock-out tournament of qualifiers based on ratings and other criteria.
It will be a long and complicated Candidates Matches after that among the other qualifiers, including from the Grand Prix, ultimately ending on who will face Carlsen in the 2016 world championship.
A match with Navara will hardly prepare So for such a championship match. And it will be less than honest to hype it so.
Instead, what Wesley needs is a carefully selected series of tournaments that will boost his elo ratings and world ranking.
A savvy coach and/or seconds can help him devise such a plan Good thing I’m not a PR person but bona fide member of the press, so I can say what needs to be said.

It didn't take long but it certainly happened. Woolworths has responded to the Coles My5 offer with a loyalty offer that is most likely going to up the ante on Coles.
So yesterday we had a look at our local Woolies and this is what we found. Many dairy and stationary products were featured with the orange tags. We can see many people mistakenly thinking that they would get the discount because the Everyday Extra Special discount tag looks just like any other of the sales tags apart from the colour. So now you have new orange specials tags, the usual yellow specials tags and the white "clearance" tags as well. None of the haircare and health products seemed to be featured with orange tags and as expected, many of the Woolworths Select products were discounted with orange tags. Vittoria coffee seemed to be over represented in orange as well.
There were some people complaining that their Extra Specials discounts were not applied at the counter but I put through a small pack of grain waves with an orange specials tag and got the discount applied correctly. When you next have a look at your local Woolworths, make up your own mind whether the latest in the supermarket war impresses you or not.
I inadvertently got a rewards card today. On my way out of the local WW I found that an item that had been marked down on the shelf was charged at the higher price at the checkout. So, as I had to walk past the customer service counter on my way out, I stopped to get the price checked, thinking I'd at least get the item free. Turns out the discount applied only if you had a rewards card.
Me: I don't have a rewards card.
She: You can get one now.
Me: I don't want a rewards card.
I couldn't leave until the bloke who went to check the shelf price came back with my item.
Me: I don't like to give out all that personal info.
She: You don't need to do that.
Me: Don't I have to fill in an application?
She: No, I just scan the card.
Me: What about my name? You'll need my name?
She: No, you don't have to register the card unless you want the frequent flyer points.
So she took a pamphlet from the counter, ripped out the outlined card at the bottom, scanned it and gave me a refund with my item. Wasn't what I had hoped for (i.e. the item free) but, if it's free AND anonymous, I don't have any real regrets.

All Aboard Harvest | Jada: Happy 4th of July!
Jada: Happy 4th of July!
04 Jul Jada: Happy 4th of July!
Happy Independence day! Hope this post finds you in the field or at least in a festive mood. Hoffman Harvesting is at the point where we had to take a break from harvesting because of green wheat and rains that hit the Colby, KS and Goodland, Kan., areas.
We hope to get in the field tomorrow, but in the meantime will enjoy a festive 4th of July cookout and a fireworks show. They shoot fireworks off at the Colby Fairgrounds where we are camping. It is as close as you can get to the action.
Although we haven’t been in the fields, I am going to post some miscellaneous photos of our days in Colby.
Happy 4th of July from HHI.
Dighton is home to an old Gleaner factory. Here is whats left of it.
As we moved to Colby, traffic was held up due to a fire on a hay truck.
We’re here! James turns into our farmer’s farm.
After a move to Colby, James steps out of his truck.
With the help of Callum and the other guys Kaidence finds her way onto a horse during a horse show at our campground- the fairgrounds.
We got a visit from some relatives on my mother’s side. Here is Molly Bieber holding Kaidence. Other visitors were Molly’s parents and my Grandpa’s sister, Margaret. They stopped by while on the way to Denver.

let's look at some numbers on the trends that we have heard about.
they are Wohlers Associates, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Gardner.
Now two of them focus on market growth.
optimism there, and we expect that these numbers get revised every year.
the next four years as well.
is to analyze some search terms on the website which is trends.google.com.
of end user interest in the subject that you're researching about.
So I put in two search terms.
that the search activity around these two terms exploded just about after 2010.
And, it reached a few peaks in the period 2013 to 2015.
And a significant drop in the mid to later months of 2015.
if you also look at the stock prices of the big firms in the space.
some of the other numbers we'll see shortly in these research reports.
So let's start with the numbers in the Wohlers Associates report in 2016.
we have a few summary items or highlights from their report.
the value was just over $5 billion in 2015 which is pretty significant.
printers which is printers under $5000 as classified in that report.
was way more than earlier estimates by several firms.
manufacturing or metal 3D printing, and of course in desktop 3D printers.
Looking back a few years, the industry is over 30 years old.
over a period of ten or 15 years is very significant.
Now let's change tracks and look at two studies from Gardner.
which indicates the diffusion of new technologies.
us some interesting perspectives on the growth of 3D printing in different areas.
as MOS customization is practical and very relevant as a use case for 3D printing.
Well you have already heard the examples about hearing aids.
knee replacements, dental implants, and of course braces as well.
shipped everyday, and these are all custom unique to the person.
the fraction of the cost that Invisalign or some similar firms would charge.
a second order of disruption happening to disruptors in the market.
with the tools available on the desktop is now disrupting.
encumbrance in the braces market, so that's an interesting example on the side.
So let's get back to the Hype cycle now.
around 3D models has become better, cheaper, and more accessible.
With easy to use software and easy to use scanners as well.
where there is significant adoption of 3D printing across different areas.
And we'll see some more of that in the next report as well.
organ transplants are still about five to ten years out.
in the field later in the course as well.
3D printing says that they expect to reach maturity in over ten years.
private institutions to get 3D printing into the curriculum.
printer in every year secondary school, we don't have conformation on that yet.
be one reason for increasing adoption of 3D printers in China.
we would love to hear from them in the forums about this trend.
into their operations, and how they expect the technology to play out in the future.
this is the result from their second annual survey.
they're forecasted to reach about $27 billion by 2019.
Some of the interesting trends from their survey.
are using 3D printing in some ways and mostly prototyping right now.
final products compared to what they found two years back.
high volume production in the future.
low volume or for specialized products as well.
the survey results pointed that out as well.
The trends again are about the same over the two years that they've seen.
which is a little decreased from what they saw in 2014.
let's look at the threads they identified in this survey.
threats to intellectual property rather.
a lawyer who specializes in this area.
which might force them to change the way they are, they do business.
in many cases, co-creators with the firm.
and which is where and opportunities for you to build expertise are possible.

trying to grab some happy: I don't think I can do it!!!
I love my daily Starbucks.
I get a Starbucks every.single.day.
And I don't drink coffee.
I get a soy chai.
My XSIL/friend mentioned her weekly food budget, its $25.
A few days later, it dawned on me that's about what I spend weekly on Starbucks.
That would pay for a nice little getaway. I could go visit Patricia and Emma for instance.
Also, if I stopped drinking a daily Starbucks, I would save approximately 54,000 calories/year.
A little more if I exclusively drank soy chai lattes.
Since a pound of fat = approximately 3,500 calories, I could potentially lose 15 pounds/year.
So, for two reasons, I should give up my daily Starbucks.
The thing is to me, a Starbucks is more than a really expensive guilty pleasure.
I know, those baristas get paid to practice great customer service.
But they are damn good at it.
I feel like we have a "relationship".
its really nice when your name is remembered.
When sometimes your drink is made by the time you walk in the door.
Or when you get a happy face drawn on your cup.
So, I don't think I can do it, you know...give up my daily Starbucks.
Your post makes me smile! I would feel that way too! It's the little things that make our day! You go with your daily Starbucks girl!
So your new e-mail is Super.Linda@stbx.com ????
Made me smile on my first day of vacation!! Thanks!!
This is an amazing post...seriously...your love of Starbucks shines through!!! Ha! And we're going to have to figure out a getaway to get together...but I agree, getting Starbucks daily is more than just getting a drink...you are so amazing with words, my friend, Linda!
I know, it's a lot of money you spend and it made my jaw drop too, but then again: it's not much to pay for HAPPINESS!!! Be glad you can afford it, and keep on drinking your daily portion of joy!
I love starbucks, too, but I am a coffee drinker!!!!!!!


text: All these efforts helped ensure that no one needed to go without a warm meal, gifts, and the knowledge that we live in a caring community. However, now the decorations are going back on the shelves for the year. I hope that this caring, giving spirit doesn’t also get shelved until the next holiday. Until the economy turns around so that everyone in the Miami County can find a job that can support their family, many of our neighbors need a helping hand throughout the year. The United Way of Miami County is helping to meet this need. But there are many nonprofit agencies in our community working year ‘round to help families increase their financial stability during these troubled times. United Way encourages everyone to Give, Advocate and Volunteer throughout the year.

Happy Saturday and HAPPY DECEMBER!
Are you ready for decking the halls, holiday baking, and hot chocolate? I am 10000000% ready! Our house is fully decorated, we’ve been listening to Christmas music, and we even have a couple of gifts purchased. What are you up to this weekend? Holiday-ing, or easing your way into December with a relaxing few days?

No menu yet because the kids and I all have colds, so Sunday dinner is in wait-and-see mode.
Chocolate Chip Monkey Bread Muffins sound like the most perfect Christmas morning treat!
I’ve never made brickle, but I’m putting this Easy Butter Brickle Bark on my holiday baking list!
Peppermint bark is my favorite Christmas treat, so these Peppermint Bark Cookies are totally right up my alley!
I, too, just listened to your podcast and really enjoyed hearing all about BEB and how it all came about. It made me realize just how much work goes on behind the blog site, and I’ve said it before, I don’t know know how you do it with three little kiddos!
I’ve also been reading your blog since your early days…sugar and spice does resonate with me. Your voice is so sweet and young sounding, like a teenager, LOL.
Keep up your good work, you deserve it. Thanks for all you do with your awesome recipes.
I really enjoyed listening to the podcast–it was great to hear you after I’ve been reading your website for so long–I always look forward to reading your recipes, but more than that I’ve come to love reading about you and your children.
Joseph, Dominic, and Isabelle are growing so fast, and I love catching up with them on your Friday Things! They really are darlings and so cute.
You are so fortunate your husband can help you with the website and the children–does he have another job too, or does he get to stay home and help you mostly! That is so nice–he must be really special!
Thank you for doing the podcast –I know you are beyond busy, but it was a treat to listen to you and learn more about your blogging journey & how you manage it all so beautifully.
Take care and thank you for all you do!
Hi Pam, I’m so glad you enjoyed the podcast, thank you so much for taking the time to listen!
Speaking of colds…have you tried probiotics for your family? After multiple rounds of ear infections and antibiotics for my son, our dr suggested ther-biotic for infants (Klaire Labs brand). Taking this has drastically reduced the number of times he has been sick!
Yes, planning to try probiotics, but we’ve actually seen a great reduction in frequency and severity this year since we all started taking elderberry supplements.
Hi Michelle, I love all your recipes. Right now I’m trying to find somewhere to buy really good nut rolls, as I’m getting too old to spend that kind of effort baking them myself. I live north of Butler & in the past bought the ones that Costco sometimes sells during the holidays. They’re loaded with nuts, which is good, but they also tend to crumble when sliced. In the “old days” here in Western Pennsylvania, many churches sold them during the holidays. However the younger churchgoers aren’t interested in that type of fundraising. If you know of any local churches that offer them, please let me know.
Just listened to the podcast Michelle, so nice to put a voice to a face!
I’ve been a follower since 2009 and it was really nice to hear how you develope recipes week in and week out.
I don’t use social media so I can’t peek into instrgram stories, but this made me feel more in the loop lol!

Do you ever get that feeling at the end of the day that time just got away from you? That between answering emails, engaging on social media, and eating lunch (you didn’t forget lunch, did you?) you missed a crucial part of the day… the work?
This feeling is common among yarnpreneurs! Sometimes it just seems that there’s too much to do. Especially if we have a day job or more than one business, it’s very easy to let the day-to-day get away from us.
So today I’d like to share a productivity tip that I find extremely useful for managing my time while juggling two businesses and two jobs!
It’s called time blocking and the concept is very simple. Basically, you allot certain chunks of time to either certain activities or certain businesses.
For example, every day from 9am-11am is one of the time blocks I use to work on The Yarnpreneur Society. The tasks I might do during that time block may vary, but no matter what, that time is blocked out for that business.
While the concept of time blocking is simple, it can be difficult in practice. It requires planning to get the schedule right for you and it requires discipline to stick with it long enough for it to become a routine. I recommend trying it out in small increments at first, so it’s not a shock to your system and current routines.
I also recommend making sure you’re flexible in the beginning, at least until you get your schedule right. It can take some trial and error to find what schedule works for you, so don’t force it in the beginning… it has to fit into your life or it will never work!
Now that you know the basic idea behind time blocking, and have some tips for implementing it in your own schedule, I’ve got a special tip that will take it to the next level.
You see, sometimes it’s not enough to just block out chunks of time. Often, we still get distracted or pulled away for “more important” things. Maybe it’s an email that you noticed come through that “can’t wait”. Maybe it’s just a task that led us down the Facebook rabbit hole.
No matter what, it’s easy to still allow distractions in… even when we’re time blocking!
So here’s the secret… buffer blocks.
I learned about buffer blocks from the 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran. I instantly thought the idea was appealing.
Buffer blocks are time blocks that you setup every day. Typically, you’ll have one towards the beginning of your workday, and one towards the end. If you truly need it, you can stick one in the middle too, but ideally, you’ll just keep to the two.
Buffer blocks encompass all of the activities that normally derail our regular time blocks. Things like checking and answering emails, responding to Facebook comments, making calls, following up on our to-do list, organizing or filing papers, etc.
These types of small tasks can commonly pull us off track during the day. “I’ll just file this real quick” turns into an hour or two of minutiae… none of which is really helping you reach your goals!
Now, here’s the catch. When your buffer block is over, you have to quit your email program. You have to shut down any distractions and you have to move into your next time block. Buffer blocks are only useful if we use them as boundaries!
Tip: I recommend using the last 5-10 minutes of your buffer block to go over your to-do list and objectives for your next time block. It’ll make you much more productive when you do start working, if you know exactly what you need to work on.
I hope this has been helpful in explaining exactly what time blocks are an how you can implement them for your business! Add in those buffer blocks and you’ve got a recipe for success!
