[Book Spoilers] Is Loras really the plan?
Or plan the Tyrells and Varys Sansa and Tyrion?
I recall there will be scene with TQoT and Tyrion, then the meeting of Varys and TQoT. Knowing that Loras is gay, or better that they know, I would say they just putting the plot up to force Tywin to act.
I just mean in the show, is Tywin actually played by them?
I think Loras is the plan. Rather than include Willas, the writers have decided to take a shortcut and just use Loras instead. Which makes Sansa's situation only worse when she finds out she has to marry the Imp instead of the Knight of Flowers.
yup sansa clearly has a lust for loras, I dont think the same can be said for Tyrion.
It seems that rather soon the Sansa/Tyrion marriage is happening, and they might even make Loras a member of the Kingsguard at the same time so that it'll match the books when we come to Feast and Dance.
This is what would actually be nice, but Garlan has not been cast, and the current S3 family tree for the Tyrells on the HBO website only has two children. And if "Sansa's place would be at Highgarden" as Margaery said...that means Loras is the heir.
there's one thing i don't understand, how is she gonna marry loras if he's member of KG?
Choosing Loras as Sansa's match really is stupid. I did not think I'd mind that all that much, but considering that both Varys and Olenna are supposed to be shrewd and clever in the show I don't see how they would ever consider a match between a straight girl and gay man a good move. Especially Lady Olenna would arrange her very own domestic tragedy this way! Sansa won't adore Loras anymore after she has found out about his sexual preferences. A much better idea would have been to make Sansa believe they were about to betroth her to Loras but were instead trying to secure her for Willas.
As to the other Tyrell brothers: I guess they are still around. Loras will eventually join the Kingsguard, and then he'll end up ghastly burned and half-dead. Which would effectively leave Mace Tyrell without male heir. I don't see that happening, especially since both Willas and Garlan may play important roles later on.
He'll probably become KG in order to avoid marrying her.
Why wouldn't they match up a gay man with a woman? You do realize that all nobility needs to marry, right? Furthermore it never has anything whatsoever to do with happy marriages, it's about alliances and power. And in what way would anyone care if Sansa isn't happy with her marriage after it's done? They want her claim to the North, they aren't trying to set up a match making service. The Tyrell's aren't a bunch of friendly angels, they are as devious as everyone else and as soon as the marriage is done their plans would be complete.
And even if we go by the books, Sansa would rather be married to a gay Loras than his cripple brother. She wouldn't be happy either way but at least she'd have her ideal image to show to others, even if it's a false one.
They may do the same thing that happened with Jaime - have the idea of the KG appointment come from the Lannisters/Joffrey so that the Tyrells almost couldn't turn it down. Based on the conversation between Cersei and daddy dearest they may see the same opportunity and both push forward the Tyrion marriage as well as a perfectly good reason to join the KG.
The gap would be that would leave the Tyrells with no heir to Highgarden, which does seem to be a problem. I definitely would have preferred they just have the throwaway line of her marrying Willas instead of Loras, but we'll see how they handle it.
But Lady Olenna's major concern beside the advancement of House Tyrell is the well-being of the members of her family. That's why Joffrey has to die, after all. To ensure that the alliance between Casterly Rock and Highgarden is going to work, not to terminate it.
And Loras won't be happy in a marriage with Sansa Stark. Neither will she. And if TV Loras truly turns out to be the heir to Highgarden, Sansa would be the mother to Mace Tyrell's grandchildren, including the next Lord of Highgarden. That is, as long as the marriage between Sansa and Loras is not going to be a marriage on paper. If Loras is the heir to Highgarden, he has to consummate his marriage. And an unhappy Lady Sansa of Highgarden could become a great problem for House Tyrell later on, if she starts to entertain herself with real men, ends up making fun of her effeminate husband, and so on. She could easily become a second Cersei.
Loras cannot be the heir to Highgarden, by the way. Neither Mace nor Olenna would have allowed Loras to join Renly's Kingsguard if he had been Mace's only son. Nor would they allowed him to enter into a long-term homosexual relationship when he has to secure the continuation of the main line of House Tyrell. It just doesn't make any sense. And the smart move of the Willas plot in the book was that Sansa would have been married to the eldest Tyrell son. Willas would have been Lord of Highgarden and Lord Protector of the North, and his eldest son heir to Highgarden and the North!
Yep. No mention of any other brother in the show, so Loras is it. Loras is not a member of the KG, yet. My guess Tywin will make him one in order to scuttle the marriage.
In my mind the more interesting question concerning this topic is: Why did D&D let Varys propose it to the QoT?
One reason is obviously to show that Varys wants to cross Littlefinger's plans. But there might be another one. Varys knows that Loras is gay and propably would not consumate the marriage and so it could be nullified. Furthermore the Tyrells have always been quite loyal to the Targaryens. So he might give her to Loras to keep her safe from the Lannisters and LF but still useful for a possible later marriage. This might be a first setup for an Aegon-Sansa storyline.
I like that the show set it up this way.
Sansa has had a crush on Loras since season one. It way more heartbreaking for her to first her she is going to marry her perfect Knight of Flowers, and than be forced to marry the imp.
Plus it makes this line so much better. And even more painful.
I have a feeling that Garlan won't make the show. I think they'll keep Willas for later on. The story of him getting crippled contributes to the fact that the Tyrell's and the Martell's don't like each other.

Come Spring/Early Summer 2016 the current Havertown Skatepark, located at Veterans Field will be closed due to the construction of the Haverford Township Municipal Building. We are looking to raise funds to build a new skatepark at a new location within Haverford Township. The money raised will be used to purchase Skatepark ramps, equipment, materials etc.
Our short term goal is to have a temporary location while we continue to raise money for a new permanent, innovative and high quality skatepark. The temporary and new skatepark can be utilized by all residents no matter their age or skill level. We would like to break ground for the new park within a year from when the current park closes.
Haverford Township needs a skatepark, one where kids can express themselves, be creative, and form new friendships. Not every kid will be into organized sports, but the skatepark offers them another form of recreation. Providing such a facility to encourage interaction, freedom of expression, and a sense of belonging will help facilitate learning and independence. This helps instill a sense of pride of who they are and where they grew up.
We have a few fundraisers planned. The first is our Skate Video Night on April 2nd at the CREC. We will be screening 2 videos that night, both of which represent skateboarding in a positive and creative way. We will also have pizza, pretzels, and bottles of water for sale. We plan to finish the night off with a raffle. We have some skateboards and skate swag to be raffled and Relapse Records will be donating limited edition records for that night.
Second, if you want to make a donation to the Save the Skatepark Group, please visit our Go Fund Me site .
We have also collaborated with a local record label, Relapse Records, who are not only making donations for our Go Fund Me site but to our April 2nd event as well.
For more information or to get involved, contact havertownskateparkgroup@gmail.com.

If you have a separate nursery room in your home you'll want to be able to style the area with subtle tones that will be pleasant to look at and a safe haven for your new born child. Most families define an area in their home that is going to be the nursery, either a spare room or bedroom that can easily be converted to be a comfortable place for your child to reside. Quite often the chosen room will start with the clearing away all of the clutter making way for decoration to take place with maybe a fresh lick of paint to brighten up the look of the room. So what can you do once all of the painting and decoration has taken place? Well, you can add a dash of creativity and colour by using our nursery vinyl wall stickers to add a splash of life to the plain surrounding walls.
To start you can choose a theme from our vast collection as we have many interesting designs for you and your family to choose from. With some of the classic favourite child's decoration themes available such as pirates, cute animals, teddy bears and safari designs to name but a few. So start with choosing a theme that works best for the room in question and then work from there. Many of our customers will choose a variety of stickers to cover a whole wall in turn creating a stunning focal point for all to see who enter. A mixture of colour and shapes will always work best when arranging the wall decals before they’re to be applied to the surface. You can use pieces of sticky tape to gently fix the motif's to the wall before actually applying them to see what will work best once they've been installed, this is called dry fitting and is clearly detailed with every sticker we send out in the post in the installation instructions.
If you would like to make the stickers in your nursery a little more personal then you can even design your very own wall quote sticker using our handy on-line designer. We added the functionality of being able to produce your own custom wall quotes in late 2011 as many of our customers we asking if they we're able to make up their own wall stickers quotes and hey presto our interactive designer was created. Personalising vinyl text for walls like this is great if you would like to include the babies name or write a few loving words of your own, making your very own vinyl quote sticker for your new born is a satisfying way to openly display your thoughts and emotions.

Nature-inspired optimization algorithms can obtain the optima by updating the position of each member in the population. At the beginning of the algorithm, the particles of the population are spread into the search space. The initial distribution of particles corresponds to the beginning points of the search process. Hence, the aim is to alter the position for each particle beginning with this initial position until the optimum solution will be found with respect to the pre-determined conditions like maximum iteration, and specific error value for the fitness function. Therefore, initial positions of the population have a direct effect on both accuracy of the optima and the computational cost. If any member in the population is close enough to the optima, this eases the achievement of the exact solution. On the contrary, individuals grouped far away from the optima might yield pointless efforts. In this study, low-discrepancy quasi-random number sequence is preferred for the localization of the population at the initialization phase. By this way, the population is distributed into the search space in a more uniform manner at the initialization phase. The technique is applied to the Gravitational Search Algorithm and compared via the performance on benchmark function solutions.

On 5 October 1962 – fifty years ago next week – The Beatles released their first single, Love Me Do b/w P.S. I Love You. The single entered the UK charts on 11 October and stayed there for 18 weeks, peaking at #17. Follow-up Please Please Me did better, reaching #2; that was followed by 11 straight #1s – bizarrely the group’s greatest single, Strawberry Fields b/w Penny Land, broke the streak (six chart-toppers would still follow). And apparently that was only because the BBC counted the record as two individual singles.
So, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ beginning their recording career, here’s the first of two Covered With Soul mixes of Beatles songs. One of the tracks here, ‘Til There Was You, was a song The Beatles themselves covered, but it I presume that The Smith Connection used the Beatles version, and not the original from the 1957 musical The Music Man, as their inspiration.
These being soul versions, they tend to be quite different from their originals. I believe it is a sign of a great song if it can be interpreted well in many different ways. Every song here is beautifully re-interpreted, in some cases almost re-invented (check out Charles Wright’s take on Here Comes The Sun for that). Even Marvin Gaye’s take on Yesterday uses the composition’s flexibility to great effect. A great example of that flexibility is in We Can Work Out, which had been covered brilliantly by Stevie Wonder; his version is in every way the original’s equal. Valerie Simpson takes a rather different approach to the song, and produces a soul version that is very different from Stevie’s – and quite brilliant in its own right.
And if Paul McCartney would sing Hey Jude (as he does seemingly at every opportunity somebody hands him a mic) like Wilson Pickett does, I’d gladly hear that blasted song over and over again.
As always, the mix is timed to fit on a standard CD-R, for which homebaked covers are included. I’m afraid passwords are now necessary; you’ll find it in the comments section.
The History of Country series will conclude with the next mix, probably in October. In the meantime here is a mix which includes some or all or none of the songs listed below, which are not in any way at all a tracklisting. The file which might include some or all or none of the songs listed below is PW-protected (see comments section).
I think the track by The Beauty Shop might be my favourite song of the 00s, and the Bright Eyes track is from what might be my favourite album of the decade. And check out George Jones singing one of my favourite Merle Haggard songs.
In the past I spread my soul selections over two years, or in the last instalment over four. Frankly, by that method, there is too much great stuff that must be left off. So from here on in we’ll run through the 1960s year-by-year.
Many acts here are well-known, though not all were famous at the time the featured song was released. The Supremes’ Run Run Run, in which Holland-Dozier-Holland tried to go for the Phil Spector sound, tanked at #93 when it was released in February 1964. Their next single, Where Did Our Love Go, went to #1, as did the following four.
Lou Johnson’s song would become famous in versions by other singers, especially Britain’s Sandie Shaw; Lou’s was the original (and here a special shout-out to the late Hal David seems appropriate). Meanwhile Hal and Burt’s muse, Dionne Warwick, chips in here with a song that conforms more to the girl-band sound that was already becoming passé. Though it was produced by Bacharach and David, Get Rid Of Him was written by Brill Building team Helen Miller and Howard Greenfield. It was only an album track and therefore not well-known. And lovely as it is, how could it compete with orther siongs from the LP, such as Walk On By, A House Is Not A Home, They Long To Be Close To You or Reach Out For Me?
Talking of girl bands, Earl-Jean used to be the singer of The Cookies, who featured twice in The Originals series, HERE and HERE, while Earl-Jean did the original of the Herman Hermits’ hit I’m Into Something Good. And talking of originals, the Bessie Banks’ song Go Now was later covered by the Moody Blues. Bessie’s version was produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
The Radiants were a Chicago group which included Leonard Caston Jr, who not only wrote the Mitty Collier song that follows The Radiants’ wonderful Voice Your Choice, but also hits such as Eddie Kendricks’ Keep On Trucking and The Supremes’ Nathan Jones, and played the piano on Fontellas Bass Rescue Me. The Radiants were once produced by the legendary Billy Davis (who wrote Rescue Me). Davis also wrote the song that precedes that group’s song. Listen to the lead singer of The Gems, who recorded on Chess – it is a young Minnie Riperton.
Linda Carr would go on to become a popular singer in Britain in the 1970s as the frontwoman of Linda and the Funky Boys; featured here is the lovely b-side of her debut solo single Sweet Talk.
Anna King had the distinction of being the only one of James Brown’s backing singers to have an album produced by the self-proclaimed hardest-working man in show business, with his band doing backing duties. Titled Back To Soul, it was also her only one. Come On Home is credited to Ted Wright – one of Brown’s pseudonyms.
As always, the mix is timed to fit on a CD-R and indcludes covers. PW in comments.
25. The Sapphires – Who Do You Love?
The headline death this month probably is that of Scott McKenzie. He was, by all accounts, a quality guy, so we’ll have to forgive him for co-writing the horrible Beach Boys hit Kokomo. His one big hit, the John Phillips-penned San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair), of course helped define a generation, except perhaps for the people of San Francisco, for whom the song was great tourism marketing but probably reflected little of daily life.
Carl Davis, who has died at 77, was to Chicago soul what Gamble & Huff were to Philly and, perhaps, Berry Gordy to Detroit. Davis produced such artists as Jackie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield, Gene Chandler, Major Lance, Barbara Acklin, Tyrone Davis, Mary Wells and The Chi-Lites . His productions included stone-cold classics as Duke Of Earl, (You’re Love Has Lifted Me) Higher And Higher, Turn Back The Hands Of Time, and Oh Girl.
Gospel singer Willa Ward died on August 12 at the age of 91. She never became as big as her sister Clara Ward, but as part of the Ward Singers, Willa and her sisters did much to influence future soul greats such as Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle. Willa also sang backing vocals for stars such as Little Richard and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins – and Patti LaBelle.
First on our list is a hold-over from July: Jay Parker, who died at 87 on July 30, was the desighner of the iconic label for Sun Records, which did not change during the labels run from 1953 to January 1968..
Of course Hal David died on September 1, a day too late for inclusion in this month’s roll call. Check out the compilations of Bacharach/David songs HERE and HERE.
To mark Saturday’s passing at the age of 91 of Hal David, lyricist of all those great songs composed by Burt Bacharach in the 1960s, I am reposting this mix, originally from 11 May 2008. Last year I posted a Covered With Soul mix of Bacharach/David songs to mark Hal’s 90th birthday; that link has been updated.
Happy birthday, Burt Bacharach. The great man turns 80 on May 12. To celebrate, here is a mix CD-R of songs by Burt Bacharach and Hal David (right).
It is probably redundant to deliberate at length about Burt’s life and massive influence, other than to point out how incongruous it is that there were times when it was seen as somehow uncool to dig Bacharach’s music. That, to me, is the equivalent of coffee being declared socially unacceptable. Still, a few words seem necessary.
Bacharach and lyricist Hal David probably were the most prolific Brill Building partnership; if others exceeded their output, then certainly not with as much success. And consider some of these Brill alumni: Goffin & King, Mann & Weil, Leiber & Stoller, Sedaka & Greenfield, Barry & Greenwich, Neil Diamond, Laura Nyro… The pair scored their first major hit soon after taking over a cubicle in the Brill Building in 1957: Perry Como’s “Magic Moments”. Over the next few years they scored a series of minor hits.
The breakthrough arguably was meeting Dionne Warwick in 1961, who would become something of a muse for the songwriters. Warwick was to act as a demo artist on new songs which would then be given to others. Warwick’s interpretations, however, were usually quite perfect. And so many songs were written with Dionne in mind. Some of these Warwick be the first to record, others would be given to other artists first, to be covered later by Warwick (who had 22 US Top 40 hits with Bacharach/David songs). The triumvirate fell apart in the early ‘70s amid a flurry of lawsuits.
Soon the Bacharach style became unfashionable, incongruously labelled as an easy listening merchant. That he wasn’t: many Bacharach songs are best heard as soul songs. Still, when Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s singer Holly Johnson wanted to record a version of (Do You Know The Way To) San José, his laddish colleagues vociferously opposed the idea. In the event, they did record it, and their version is quite lovely. Arguably this was a significant step towards the rehabilitation of Bacharach which was complete by the late 90s, with even the likes of Oasis’ chief plagiarist Gallagher (Liam? Noel? I can never tell them apart. The one with the mono-brow) paying tribute to Bacharach.
Bacharach had made something of a comeback with a few hits in the 1980s, co-written with wife Carole Bayer Sager, such as Arthur’s Theme, On My Own and Dionne Warwick’s comeback saccharine hit That’s What Friends Are For (as so often with Bacharach and Warwick, it had been previously recorded, by Rod Stewart for the soundtrack of 1982’s Nightshift). Bacharach went back to his roots, in a way, when he composed, with occasional collaborator Elvis Costello, the song God Give Me Strength for the 1996 film Grace Of My Heart, which was loosely based on Brill alumni Carle King. Bacharach’s 1998 album with Elvis Costello, Painted From Memory, was a patchy effort, as was his 2005 solo album, At This Time.
Incidentally, Burt’s unusual surname is German; there is a town called Bacharach in the Rhineland.
On this mix-tape (timed to fit on a CD-R) I have tried to mix well-known versions with some that are less famous. Soul singer Lou Johnson recorded several Bacharach songs before they became hits, though Kentucky Bluebird (later a Warwick hit as Message To Michael) was recorded by fellow soulster Jerry Butler a year earlier. Lyn Collins in her 1974 recording proves further that many Bacharach songs are really soul songs, as do Aretha Franklin and Isaac Hayes (of course, Warwick’s version of Don’t Make Me Over left no doubt about its place in soul history). Although absent from this set, Luther Vandross also was an outstanding interpreter of Bacharch.
While most of Hal David’s lyrics capture universal emotions with great perception and imagination, a few were shockingly sexist, at least by our standards today. I have deliberately appended the two worst offenders (one always sung by women) at the end.

(TORONTO, ON) – Premier-designate Doug Ford’s announcement of a public sector hiring freeze, except for “essential front-line services” in jails, fire, and policing, spells trouble for Ontario’s already overburdened and underfunded public services.
“Ontario hospitals and long-term care facilities, for example, are already in a state of crisis,” said Ontario Federation of Labour President Chris Buckley. “Ford’s hiring freeze will likely put our healthcare system under even greater pressure, will further stretch the workers that provide care and will no doubt negatively impact patients,” Buckley added.

Season three takes on a significantly greater serialized format. Rachel begins working at Bloomingdale's, an upscale department store chain, and Ross becomes jealous of her colleague, Mark. Rachel decides to take a break; and Ross, hurt and drunk, sleeps with someone else, causing Rachel to break up with him. In the meantime, Chandler has a hard time dealing with their breakup because it reminds him of his parents' divorce. After believing she has no family except her twin sister Ursula (Lisa Kudrow), Phoebe becomes acquainted with her half-brother (Giovanni Ribisi) and birth mother (Teri Garr). Joey develops a relationship with his acting partner Kate (Dina Meyer), and Monica begins a relationship with millionaire Pete Becker (Jon Favreau) which ends because of disagreements between the two.
Gunther re-trains Rachel on how to be a waitress; she realizes it's time to quit working at the coffee shop. Ross accidentally breaks a little girl's leg, and ends up selling Brown Bird Cookies for her so she can go to Space Camp. Monica's childhood cookie habit returns. Joey gets a job at a Christmas tree lot. Phoebe tries to come to terms with the cruelty of having a Christmas tree.
Joey: He's selling Christmas Trees on commission. His father had a plumbing job at Fortunata Fashions were they are looking for someone new.
Chandler: Nothing much happens to him. He makes fun of Ross because he broke a girl's leg (watch out kids) and he convinces Rachel to quit her job while she doesn't have anything else. She needs The Fear (but he is too afraid to quit his job himself).
Ross: He feels awful after accidently breaking the leg of a girl so to help her he starts selling Brown Bird Cookies so she can go to Space Camp. Because he finds out her father has a gambling issue and she has no mother anymore. He ends up being second because another kid's sister went to the USS Nimitz and sells 2000 boxes of cookies.
Rachel: She feels awful because she has to take the training of being a waitress again, while it was just a temp job. Joey and Chandler push her a bit and she decides to quit. Gunther, who is secretly in love with Rachel, cries on her last day. She has the job at Fortunata Fashions.
Monica: Brown Bird Cookies were the cause of Monica's weightgain when she was a child. Her dad had to buy all of the boxes because she ate them all. She wants some more boxes and realises she's addicted to the cookies again.
Phoebe: First she's against Joey selling Christmas Trees, but then she's convinced they're forfilling their Christmas destiny. However the old ones are thrown in the chipper and she wants to sell them too. To confort her, her friends buy all the old trees and put them in the living room.

Pumpkin is nutritious for both you and your pup! Click on through to see how pumpkin is healthy for your dog.
*Ed. note: It's always best to consult a veterinarian before giving your pets any "people food".
Oils found in pumpkin seeds and flesh are believed to support urinary health. Dogs with urinary incontinence, in particular, may benefit from a little pumpkin in their diet. Your dog will thank you for this yummy snack, too!
Canned natural pumpkin is a great source of fiber and helps with digestive regularity. If your dog is experiencing constipation or diarrhea, mix a tablespoon of pumpkin straight from the can into their normal food. Not only will they love the taste of pumpkin but it may also ease stomach issues.
Is your dog overweight or obese? Ask your veterinarian if replacing a portion of your dog's regular diet with canned pumpkin — which is low in calories — will help your pooch trim the waistline.

Download this Ebook to learn how effective sourcing and management of your suppliers can improve profit, increase innovation, and drive competitive advantage; allowing you to safely navigate toward success while leaving your competitors all at sea.
Business has changed. The trend of corporate virtualization, driven by globalization, free trade and the internet, has meant that the majority of your business’ needs now sit outside the organization – with your suppliers.
Externalization means that your company is now an island, forced to sail the high seas in search for suppliers from a vast sea of virtualization. However, internal procurement functions do not have the right means or equipment to navigate this sea of supply effectively.
This creates some incredibly complex problems. Solving these problems with the current resources, skills and capabilities is like fighting against a strong current – it’s tiring, energy intensive and typically yields little results.

Born as Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise, Connor Cruise is the adopted son of the famous Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. He was born on 17th January 1995 (age is 22 years old) in Florida, United States of America.
His original/ biological parents are unknown to us. However, he was adopted in the February of 1995 by Tom and Nicole. He is believed to be of African- American origin. He has an older sister named Isabella Cruise, who was also adopted by the couple.
Other than that Tom’s biological daughter Susie Cruise, who was born when he was in a relationship with Katie Holmes. Being the son of a Hollywood couple has changed his entire life to what he was before adoption.
He has grown up and adopted into the high profile lifestyle, riding expensive cars and mostly being followed by paparazzi wherever he goes. But that was not the case early on.
Till the age of 10, he was not allowed to set foot outside of his father’s enormous house because there had been several occasions when he was mocked and teased by journalists.
In some situations, he was made so nervous and anxious that he didn’t know what to say. But slowly, he started to find answers to those questions and gained his confidence back.
After he was homeschooled for several years, he took a step to get out and join a University as well. Not only that, but his young career has taken a turn already as he has started to act in movies.
He has been in the group of youngsters who are in 1984's red dawn remake by Dan Bradley. His first appearance in a movie was at the age of 13 when actor Will Smith agreed to cast him on screen in his movie Seven Pounds.
Apart from acting, he also has a deep interest in music and has learned DJ-Ing. He has played and DJ-d in several towns and places like Las Vegas, LA, New York, etc.
Although Nicole Kidman is his mother, things have not gone smooth between them. After the separation of Tom and Nicole and also Connor getting busy with his work, the once family isn’t so attached to each other.
Nicole complained about his and said “My children do not even call me mommy. They call me Nicole, and I don’t like that at all.” But Connor denies about his every time being asked. “I love my mother.
Our relationship is solid as always, and I don’t care what people have to say” is what he replied when recently he was asked by a journalist about their cold relationship.
The official height recorded of Connor Cruise says that he is 5 feet and 4 inches tall. This record was taken in 2012. And I am sure he has grown much in these 2 years’ time.
Besides he is just a boy in his teenage days. So, he has plenty of growing to be done.
Being a young celebrity, he can’t just stay away from friends and family. Besides that, there are now fans that he needs to interact with and I bet most of them are girls.
So, recently Connor has joined Twitter. Yes, his Twitter link is twitter.com/TheConnorCruise He has been followed by more than 18k till date and has given more than 4k tweets himself.
There are also a couple of other accounts by his name, but maybe they are all just fake accounts. You can follow him to know more about his recent updates.
Happy Birthday to my big brother and my best friend in the world @joshdvegas ????????
To know more about his bio, you can visit sites like rotten tomatoes, IMDb or Wikipedia.

To the Chinese, Destiny is number one. Second is Luck and third is Feng Shui.
Discovering your destiny using Ba Zi (Eight Characters) is a complex study using your date of birth, astrology sign and the Five Elements. The origin of Ba Zi is attributed to Scholar Li Xuzhong of the Tang dynasty and practiced by Xu Ziping in the Song dynasty.
Ba Zi or Eight Characters or also known as The Four Pillars of Destiny, is a branch of study of Chinese Metaphysics Science. It is used to forecast or predict many things including the characteristics and destiny of an individual and the interaction and relationships between the individual with the surrounding environment.
With Ba Zi, all of you can learn things like your wealth, your health, luck, what kind of career suits you, your best compatible spouse or partnership, your education, your children, your relationship with the people you know such as family, children, relatives, grandparents, business partner etc, and many more.
Ba Zi is also claimed by many people as the most accurate methods of divinity in the world. The Four Pillars of Destiny is based on the ancient Chinese Book of Changes – I Ching, the Five Elements, Yin-Yang as well as the Chinese astrology.
The theory behind the study of Ba Zi is that the sun, earth, moon and planets in the Solar System emit cosmic energy (chi or qi) all the time. This energy is not constant but varies with time dependding on the relative positions of the planets.
To calculate a four pillar chart, the Chinese solar calender is used. The system is also based on the 12 stages of your life cycle and the interrelationship of the destructive and constructive cycles of the five elements.
It is called Ba Zi or Eight Characters because there are 4 columns X 2 rows = 8 characters (that is why it is also called as Four Pillars). In order to draw up a four pillar chart, the year of your birth, the month, day, time as well as the place of your birth must be known. You also need to know the longitude of your birthplace so that you can adjust the time of birth to true local time. In certain parts of the world, when DST (daylight savings time) was in effect then this also must be taken into account.
Here below is one of the example of ba zi charts, it is the ba zi birth information of the mega superstar Michael Jackson.
Each of the year, month, day and hour of your birth in the chart will have a combination of Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, thus giving a total of 8 characters.
The 4 pillars are allocated into the Year of your birth, Month, Day and Hour. And each pillar is represented by an element (fire, wood, water, earth, metal), as translated from your birth data. Each pillar also consists of the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch.
Month Pillar: Your early childhood and relationship with parents.
Day Pillar: The (DM) daymaster and relationship with partner/spouse.
Hour Pillar: Relationship with children, your career and old age.
The Day pillar of the Heavenly Stem (on top) represents the self-element. It represents the person and is the most important component. It is employed as a reference point in its interr-relationships with the other 7 elements in the charts for reading one’s destiny. The Day pillar of the Earthly branch (bottom) is the marriage palace, it tells you the quality of your marriage.
The elements that cause imbalance in your chart are called unfavorable elements whereas the elements that you lack or you need are called your favorable elements or your lucky elements.
In the past (even today), many Chinese like to consult an expert to draw up and intepret a newborn’s “Eight Characters”. They do this in order to find out the child’s ‘weaknesses’ and ‘strength’ (if any) and how to cure or solve it. It is also important to note that the usefulness and accuracy of a Ba Zi reading and interpretation session will depend largely on the credibility of the Ba Zi master himself.
Under Ba Zi, it has been said that the probability for two persons that are having an identical reading is 1 in 12.96 million. It will also take another 240 years to repeat tthe next cycle to raise another identical case.

By now you have probably heard a little about the Cryoskin 2.0, but still wondering exactly WHAT it is and how it works.
How does the Cryoskin 2.0 work?
Cryoskin is a new fat loss device from Paris, France with proven results from thousands of procedures.
People may lose from 0.5 to 1.5 inches in 1 treatment. <—YES. That’s NOT a typo. We measure your body before we get started and after we finish, all in less than a one hour period. Let’s go a little further and explain how that works.
When you put water in the freezer you know when it comes out as ice – it’s bigger? This is because water expands when it’s cooled. You might be thinking “but I don’t want to EXAPND!” YES. You do.
Fat cells happen to be more sensitive to changes in temperature than other cells in your body so, when you cool them, the water in them expands, breaking the cell. These cells then pass out of the lymphatic system and out of your body. Bye-Bye fat cells.
How long will the Cryoskin 2.0 results last?
The best results occur around 5 sessions – with an average fat loss of 38% from a sample of 100 people. (And men, you typically see even BETTER results at a FASTER rate.) We measure the area you would like treated before and after the first session so you can see the immediate impact.
Maintaining a good diet and exercise program will help you keep these results.
Will the Cryoskin 2.0 help with my cellulite?
YES. The Cryoskin 2.0 can also help clear up cellulite. This works by cooling the subcutaneous areas of the legs, which creates vasodilation or expansion of the blood vessels. This brings in more collagen which helps break down the fibers which create the dimpling. Eating well and a good exercise regimen can possibly keep the cellulite from returning.
Can I use the Cryoskin 2.0 on my face?
It also has a facial treatment, which is more natural than Botox and can be as effective. These non-invasive and targeted treatments typically last for about a month.
We will be launching the Cryoskin 2.0 in August 2018! If you aren’t already, make sure you are signed up for our newsletter. We will be offering INTRO pricing for our readers and the ability to PRE-BOOK appointments before anyone else. You can sign up for the newsletters by clicking here.

Over the years, I have seen the benefit of using sentence starter strips in speech therapy with my language impaired students. A lot of my students with language delays need visual supports to help them build longer utterances. Using sentence starter strips in speech therapy provides a visual framework for organizing their thoughts. Many of my speech students receptively know what they want to say, but struggle with expressively communicating those ideas in a clear and concise way.
Many of my speech students receptively know what they want to say, but struggle with expressively communicating those ideas in a clear and concise way. For our students with language impairments processing language can be very daunting and overwhelming. We as SLP’s can lighten that language load by incorporating visual sentence strips in therapy.
Sentence starter strips are easy to make and don’t require a ton of prep. This is an amazing thing for the busy SLP! I love that I can prep this in under 10 minutes for my therapy groups and can use it over and over again for my groups. When I use bright colored paper or sentence strips that have visual picture supports, my students become more engaged in the activity. You can adapt the sentence starter strips for your lesson, so you can easily write a sentence starter that relates to the topic you are discussing. The other reason I love sentence starter strips is that I can align them with the speaking and listening standards. Our students are now required to express their opinion, ask questions, and share the reasons behind their thoughts. When I observe general education classrooms, I see A LOT of sentence starters around the room. This is a scaffolding technique that a lot of teachers use to help student’s become more efficient writers. When we target this with oral language, we are building the language piece that writing involves. There is also research that shows students who are English Learners benefit from the use of sentence frames or sentence starters.
I grab a deck of Artic Photo Cards Fun Decks From Super Duper or artic/language cards from my TPT resources to use with the sentence starter strips. This is a perfect way to target both articulation and language goals if you have mixed groups! Sentence starter strips are also great for teaching prepositional phrases and conjunctions. One of the easiest places to find stimulus items for teaching prepositional phrases and conjunctions is google images! If I have time, I usually will search google images for pictures that I want and cut and paste them into a powerpoint. Then, I use those images along with my sentence strips as a therapy lesson. I love having sentence strips for inferencing, predicting, explaining opinion and discussing the main idea.
When you find yourself scribbling the same sentence frames on scratch paper during your speech sessions, it usually means that it might be good to have a permanent set of sentence frames that you can grab n’ go for your sessions. This is what I kept running into, so instead of writing sentence frames on my post it notes, I decided to use some multi-colored sentence strips I found in my speech room. One skill I work on a lot is describing nouns by attributes. I usually start with 1-3 attributes depending on the student’s skills. You can find these sentence strips on on amazon and you get 75 in the pack (amazon affiliate link). Let’s talk storage! I like to use Pocket Charts to storage my sentence strips and to use during instruction. I just found these Classroom Sentence Strip Storage Box on Amazon that could also be helpful for storage! I recommend getting different colored sentence strips to visually show different skills or use different colored markers.
How do you use sentence starter strips in speech therapy?
Thanks Felice! Great and super easy.. I just went to Amazon.
Yes, I love these!! I was even thinking you could use with the EET or for carrier phrases for articulation.
I love this! I do this with EET as you mentioned. It helps kids with poor expressive language. I want to share that they make dry erase sentence strips. Some are magnetic! Can you take it? Too much, right?!

Hello guys, happy Friday! Sorry about not putting up a new post on Monday, my plans fell through. Anyways I'm really happy the weekend is here. School was quite hectic and it's only just the beginning sigh.
This is a continuation of my natural hair series and today I'm going to be talking about my wash day routine. Now everyone has their way of doing things and it might be totally different from how I do mine. I'm still somewhat a newbie so I'm going to share what works for me. As always, if you have any more tips please leave them in the comments section!
Some people prepoo (pre-shampoo) their hair before washing. They believe that it helps to prevent your shampoo from totally stripping your natural oils from your hair, makes your hair easier to detangle and helps prevent breakage. You can read more about that here. PS: That website is where I go to read more about natural hair and learn new things. I don't prepoo because I'm too lazy busy but it's something I want to start doing. When I do, I'll let you guys know if it's really beneficial.
My hair is short so it doesn't really get tangled so I just go straight in with my shampoo. I use the ORS Curls Unleashed Sulfate Free Shampoo and I really like it. It smells like coconuts and who doesn't like the smell of coconuts? It gets the job done and isn't very drying as it has no sulfates in it. I also like the Cantu Moisturising Cream Shampoo but I don't use it that much as it has sulfates in it. I also use the Cantu Moisturising Cream Conditioner. It's okay I guess. It's not super amazing or anything. I would like to try the Cantu Natural hair range as I've heard rave reviews about that.
After washing my hair, I deep condition it with my ORS Hair Mayonnaise. I apply it to my hair , put on a plastic cap and leave it on for about twenty minutes. I like to dance to music while the cap is on to generate more heat. I love how my hair feels when I rinse it out, it's a really good deep conditioner.

Last Friday night’s preseason debacle against the Cincinnati Bengals featured all of the troubles of last season, revisited upon these new-look Eagles: defensive front that can’t get pressure, offensive line with major protection issues, overmatched secondary, scrambling quarterback, failure to convert on third-and-short. Even special teams ineptitude.

Teeth Whitening Methods Perform For You?
Our ancestors had been also involved about whiter tooth. They made use of unique procedures to achieve a shining smile. The historic Egyptians all around 4000 many years back began the approach of tooth whitening. They were incredibly significantly worried with appearing gorgeous and wealthy. Consequently they mixed wine vinegar with floor pumice stone in get to make a white paste which they used to their teeth.
The historical Romans utilised urine as bleach to whiten their teeth. It was the ammonia in the urine that contributed to a shiny smile.
The Greeks of old periods utilized odd mixtures and chemicals to their tooth which they extracted from leaves.
All through the 17th century individuals employed to go to their barber to whiten their tooth. The barber submitted the teeth and rubbed nitric acid to them. However this follow, still left people today with a couple or no enamel at all simply because they decayed.
The Europeans of the Renaissance applied bleach to their enamel. They experienced whiter teeth for a confined period but as time handed their enamel begun to wear away resulting in tooth decay.If you beloved this short article as well as you would like to be given guidance concerning http://www.karendentalclinic.com/ kindly stop by our internet site.
In the early nineteenth century, fluoride was found in buy to manage healthy tooth. On the other hand an extreme use of fluoride brought about tooth staining.
A person of the enamel whitening techniques that numerous people test at house is using a bleaching gel. Bleaching gel is pretty reasonably priced and quick to come across. Bleaching gels are manufactured from a peroxide alternative that can be applied in a number of various techniques. The gel can be applied in a bleaching tray that suits more than the tooth, or with a smaller brush or a toothbrush. It also can be put into a bleaching pen and utilized with the pen.
A single of the positive aspects of making use of bleaching gel to brighten enamel is the simplicity of use. Simply because you can use the gel in a tray, in a pen, or painted instantly onto the enamel with a brush it makes it quick for individuals to use the gel in what ever approach functions for them. Bleaching gel will work in as tiny as 10 minutes, which would make it best for persons who want to brighten their teeth right before heading out or going to work. Bleaching gel also is not as messy as some other varieties of tooth whitening solutions because it is a thick gel. But inspite of the benefits making use of bleaching gel is not always the greatest preference for tooth whitening.
Bleaching gel, like many other peroxide based mostly tooth whiteners, will not substantially whiten enamel. If your tooth have some slight staining or are just on the lookout uninteresting then a bleaching gel will make your tooth glimpse whiter. But if your enamel are discolored or seriously stained the peroxide gel will not likely have more than enough electric power to significantly whiten your tooth. A different drawback is that the gel has to keep on your enamel in order to work which suggests you are unable to try to eat, consume, or do anything that could possibly loosen the gel from the tooth the complete time that you might be donning the gel. Employing the gel daily can weaken the enamel on your enamel and more than time it can trigger sensitivity or make any existing sensitivity worse.
Whether or not you use a Do it yourself package or have enamel whitening performed at the dentist if you use a products or have a therapy performed that would not use pure factors to whiten tooth you could get hurt. Quite a few products that usually are not obviously based use severe chemical substances that can destroy the floor of your enamel, damage the enamel of the tooth, or even result in awful chemical burns on the gums. Chemical burns on the gums can just take months to recover and they are incredibly distressing.
The teeth whitening kits that you can purchase in shops are infamous for creating chemical burns and the loss of tooth enamel. Due to the fact these kits are designed to be a person sizing suits all they often don’t fit ideal. When the tray or the strip does not in good shape your tooth exactly suitable there is a bigger threat that you will get some of the toxic tooth whitening option on your gums which will bring about burns. And the a lot more you use these Diy kits the additional destruction will be performed. Over time these kits strip the enamel from the tooth which can weaken the tooth and lead to discoloration or even tooth reduction.
Qualified whitening treatment plans usually are not much safer than Do-it-yourself kits. If the dentist undertaking the treatment method hasn’t had enough training utilizing a laser all through light-accelerated whitening the laser could destruction your enamel. If the gel or other whitening brokers usually are not place on diligently or if the security defend for your gums slips or isn’t really applied properly you could finish up with serious chemical burns on your gums. Every person can make blunders, so even expert dentists can bring about injuries when carrying out tooth whitening processes. It truly is safer to opt for a organic tooth whitener that will never induce chemical burns, tooth reduction or other difficulties when you want to whiten your tooth.

The Irish Rugby Football Union has confirmed that the Irish rugby team will play the USA Eagles at a summer test in New Jersey, on June 10. This news comes amid reports that Guinness Pro12 plans create a two-division Guinness Atlantic Rugby Championship in North America.
The Irish rugby squad will square off against the USA Eagles at the Red Bull Arena, in Harrison, New Jersey. However, huge crowds are expected due to the success of November 2016 game in Chicago when the Irish team beat the world record breakers the New Zealand All Blacks.

This June the Irish team will be left without players who have been called up the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand. However, it’s felt this should still leave a strong team for the friendly clash.
IRFU CEO Philip Browne said in a statement “It is great to be returning to the US this summer.
“The team received a fantastic reception in Chicago last November and USA Rugby provided great support on the ground.
"There are a lot of Ireland Rugby fans on the east coast of America and we hope that they will again come out in numbers to support the team in the Emirates Airlines Summer Series. We are looking forward to taking on the Eagles in New Jersey in June."
Dan Payne, the Chief Executive of USA Rugby, told the Irish Times “We are very honored to be hosting Ireland. The value they provided to rugby history throughout the world and toward the growth and awareness of the game in our country this past November in Chicago was phenomenal.
The USA Eagles game will be the Ireland squad’s first game of the summer tour. The team will then travel onwards to Japan to face the Cherry Blossoms in two Tests on June 17 and 24.
Also, on Tuesday the Guinness Pro12 announced plans to create a create a two-division Guinness Atlantic Rugby Championship in North America. Two franchises in Houston and Toronto, which are being considered for the new tournament format which could start from the 2018/2019 season.

On behalf of Parisi & Gerlanc, Attorneys at Law posted in workers' compensation on Thursday, September 22, 2016.
Prior to recognizing the dangers of asbestos, it was commonly used in a wide variety of products. This is why many workers in New Jersey are still exposed to it on a regular basis, which might lead to health problems. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, breathing in asbestos can lead to significant reduction in lung function, lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma.
Because of the health hazards, there are several standards in place to protect workers, especially those in construction and who work in the shipyard. These involve reducing exposure to workers, monitoring the airborne levels and using certain protective gear to diminish the health risk as much as possible.
There are several minerals included in the group known as asbestos, including actinolite, anthophyllite, tremolite, crocidolite, amosite and chrysotile. These minerals occur naturally, but they might also be altered in some way, such as chemical treatment. Asbestos is found in building materials, pipes, floor tiles and even in certain parts of vehicles.
According to the American Lung Association, asbestosis is the term for the medical condition that occurs from breathing in asbestos. The severity of the disease ranges from mild irritation to inability to supply sufficient oxygen, which might lead to heart failure and death. The lung has a filtering system that is meant to remove any foreign particles, such as asbestos, from the body. However, the dust and fibers of this mineral resist removal. This leads to damage to the lung and a build up of scar tissue.
There is no treatment for this disease, which is why it is so important to protect workers from exposure. The length of time and level of exposure determines the extent of the damage to the lungs. It only occurs from inhaling the dust and fibers, not from other forms of the minerals.

Mercy Midwives Birthing Home is the birth center through Mercy In Action that I’m interning at here in Olongapo. Though Mercy In Action has initiated, successfully operated and turned over many birth centers in the last 21 years here in the Philippines, this particular birth center has only been open for just over a year. Word is still getting out. The first week that we were here, I helped Lanie, a Philippino friend and employee of Mercy Birthing Home, spread the word even more. We went out, flyers in hand, pounding the pavement in the afternoons. Mercy In Action is reaching out to several communities; the muslim community, the ladies who work in the market selling fresh meat and produce and the “bar girls” or prostitutes. So far, these efforts have been successful and a we’ve seen a few women come to the birth center for prenatal appointments. We pray that they will continue to come and that the birth center would be a safe, loving haven for them to bring their baby into the world at… for free nonetheless!
The Muslim community within Olongapo… yes, the Muslim community lives within “Holy Spirit Village” and many houses are on Holy Spirit Drive.
Isabella joined us to the Muslim community and enjoyed the benefits of a Halo Halo too… a frozen ice drink with all sorts of randomness to it… beans, corn, jello cubes, coconut, taro root, a little sugar, evaporated milk and shaved ice. Sounds gross…. but it’s amazingly good! The lady making the Halo Halo is 5 months pregnant.

In order for knowledge to be understood, it must be applied. To this end, the students at Ocean College will receive both practical and theoretical knowledge within their classes as often as possible. Only then can the talents and interests of the individual students be realised and strengthened, their weaknesses discovered and overcome, and through this they can better themselves.
Ocean College has always been based on student participation. Logistics, coordination, and communication with home (via daily journals and blog entries), planning excursions and projects, preparing dinner for the crew, plotting routes, sailing… there are many things for the students, in cooperation with the crew, to experience. At Ocean College we bring in experts to help provide a better learning experience. These experts are only onboard for short periods and work with the students on a specific subject in the form of a project. The students get to see the inner workings of companies, trade work, lab work, and can take part in related projects during their time on board. Our foremost goal at Ocean College is to provide course content with a relevant practical application. Instead of saying “try and imagine”, students can see the outcome. This promotes responsibility and simultaneously boosts motivation. Experts have already been enlisted for a trade project as well as a weather data project. Within the scope of these two projects there is insight into economics, research, and agricultural development. The trade project is based around a complete supply chain. Students will have the opportunity to coordinate and plan for harvest, purchase, transport, product taxes, marketing, branding, distribution, and sales. For the weather data project, students will get an introduction to STEM fields, and will learn to use extrapolated data for their own studies, as well as provide that data to external research partners.
A sommelier with us from the Berlin School of Coffee. Through extensive time abroad on coffee plantations in Central-America and Ethiopia, he has come to the realisation that quality does not start with roasting. Quality is derived from proper cultivation methods and farming practices. Since then Joachim has expanded his knowledge of coffee agronomy, as well as its botanical characteristics. His experience stems from years of work as a quality manager for raw and roasted coffee, sommelier courses, Roastmaster Week, and many barista seminars. Joachim, with his extensive knowledge on the topic, will guide the students through their coffee project.
