There are two layers with pole pocket guides. Turn on either the vertical or horizontal depending on your needs. There will be 3 green safe space lines that will appear. Each one for a different size pole, 1, 2 or 3 inches.
We will be stiching the pocket just top the outside of these lines, so make sure your important information and text is within so they dont get stiched through.
If you are only using on of the pockets, say a top pocket only, ignore the liines you arent using and keep inside the typical safe space lines.

This has been an informative discussion. My wife and I own a '78
Sierra and while she has had some "stick time" she is not interested
in piloting per se but really enjoys flying with me and taking trips
together. After this discussion I intend to get more forceful, shall
we say, about her learning more about flying the Sierra and giving
herself a fair shot at survival if she ever found herself in the
Thanks for the great information! This is a fantastic resource!

Resources for Media
The media is a key link to reaching residents within a community and creating awareness about Live 5-2-1-0.
The media plays an important role in bringing attention to the need for healthier living in children. Using local media channels can help share the Live 5-2-1-0 message – the wider the reach, the more demand created in communities to make changes for a healthier environment.
SCOPE and our partner communities have developed a number of ready-made Live 5-2-1-0 resources and tools that can be adapted and adopted for marketing and promotions in your own community. These can be used in traditional media such as local newspapers, or you can use them in your own organization's newsletters, websites, or offices. Check these out below – and check back often as we're adding more all the time!
This checklist provides an opportunity for your organization or sector to reflect on its progress in helping to create a healthier community environment for children and families. It lists some ideas, and examples from our Live 5-2-1-0 partners, on ways to promote the 5-2-1-0 guidelines and support healthy behaviours in your local media, and has additional space to add in your own.
Our Live 5-2-1-0 Community Marketing Guide has been developed to help communities make the most of their efforts to share the Live 5-2-1-0 message!
The Community Marketing Guide outlines recommendations, strategies and best practices related to how communities can most effectively share the Live 5-2-1-0 message, and contains user-friendly templates and worksheets to help community groups plan out their marketing strategies and steps. It also contains expert tips and examples of how other Live 5-2-1-0 communities have successfully engaged partners to help share the message.
We have a number of tools and resources to help you share the Live 5-2-1-0 message including Live 5-2-1-0 ZAP Banners, different sizes of Live 5-2-1-0 Posters, and adaptable Live 5-2-1-0 Rec & Leisure Guide ads to help promote Live 5-2-1-0 and your local Playbox!
Recreation and leisure guides are an important local resource for connecting families with programs and services that promote active, healthy living. This and their broad distribution across the community make them an excellent tool to help share the Live 5-2-1-0 message!
Many Live 5-2-1-0 communities have requested help with incorporating Live 5-2-1-0 messaging into their rec and leisure guides. We've created two different ad templates for communities to use – one is a general ad to share the Live 5-2-1-0 message, and the second is an adaptable ad to promote your local Live 5-2-1-0 Playbox(es). Each ad is available in a horizontal or a vertical half-page layout and all four include space for your community's logo to be added in. Please note ad sizes will need to be adjusted according to your publication requirements.

Over forty years ago, George Lucas reluctantly gave the role of Han Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope to Harrison Ford, who was only helping out at a casting. Now, forty years later, another actor steps into Ford's enormous shadow and takes up the Solo mantle…
Month: June 2019
Have you ever heard of a calendrical heresy? Probably not, because it's not really a thing, until you read Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee.
Last week, two protoplanets in another star system were directly imaged. That seems like a good excuse to talk about planetary formation.
Almost twenty years ago, I picked up a copy of Legends, which opened with 'the Little Sisters of Eluria' by Stephen King, set in the Dark Tower universe. Intrigued, I proceeded to buy the first novel of the Dark Tower series. This is not a review of that novel series however.
Last week I saw the 2017 movie based on the Dark Tower novels, starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. A great story with two great actors, and produced by Ron Howard (Willow, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind). That has to be good, right?

Residents tried to rescue the woman by throwing metals at the reptile, but all was in vain, a witness said.
NAMAYINGO - Tragedy befell residents of Lolwe islands, Lolwe subcounty Namayingo district when a 35-year-old pregnant woman was eaten by a crocodile as she went to fetch water along the shores of lake Victoria on Saturday, at around 6:30pm.
Ruth Nyanzira was seven months pregnant.
One of the residents, Sande Kaabale, said residents tried to rescue her by throwing metals at the reptile, but all was in vain.
He further revealed that when all efforts to rescue Nyanzira failed, the helpless residents watched on as the huge crocodile swallowed body parts of the deceased in the deeper side of the lake.
The LC1 chairman of Lolwe Upper Village, Mohamed Kibirige, said they have on several occasions requested relevant authorities to intervene by capturing the reptiles.
Locals says the reptiles have terrorized them especially, women who fetch water or bathing children on the shores of the lake.
Kibirige said their requests have fallen on deaf ears.
"They just keep on promising us that things will be okay, but up to now nothing is being done," he said.
The chairman said most of the residents prefer fetching water from the lake, claiming that water from boreholes on the island is salty.
Meanwhile, the LC5 chairman of Namayingo, Ronald Sanya, cautioned locals against moving to the lake shores unaccompanied.
Heurged locals to remain calm since the district had already notified the Uganda Wildlife Authourity (UWA) about the dangerous crocodiles.
Early last year, a team of UWA officers in charge of problematic animals pitched camp in the area and captured three crocodiles believed to have mauled over 30 people in the previous two years.
The officer in charge of Lolwe Police Post, Denis Okello, said remains of Nyanzira were recovered by fishermen Sunday morning, along the shores of Lake Victoria.
The MP of Bukooli islands constituency, Abbot Ouma, said 26 people were mauled by crocodiles on the islands in 2018, adding that 23 others who survived are currently living without hands, legs and other body parts.
Ouma said he is to draft a motion before Parliament that will compel Government to compensate families of crocodile attack victims.
Residents have appealed to Government to rescue them from such attacks.
One of the residents, Jafferi Kibwika, said some of the crocodiles make their way to the mainland to attack the residents. He said they are living in fear because there is no freedom of movement especially during the night.

"Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain." — John Goodman as Walter Sobchak, in The Big Lebowski
Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang might be feeling pretty good about winning Round One with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, the former basketball coach with the Young Frankenstein-style features and the pit-bull reputation. Unfortunately for Jerry, however, this appears to be a tag-team match, and Steve may have unwittingly tagged in The Terminator, otherwise known as Carl Icahn — a guy who was waging all-out proxy wars when Jerry Yang and David Filo were still shoving quarters into the Space Invaders machine down at the local video-game parlor.
According to several reports, including one in the Wall Street Journal, Carl has acquired about 50 million shares or so of the Internet giant, and may be planning to start a proxy battle so that he can shove Yahoo into the arms of Microsoft and get a nice pop for his trouble. That kind of thing is like falling off a log for Carl, a guy who helped define the term "corporate raider" and has gone after companies like RJR Nabisco, Texaco, Time Warner and Motorola. Carl has taken over companies — or been bought out by companies — in between lunch and dinner.
Ballmer apparently gave up on Yahoo in part because he was afraid of a proxy war, and/or was concerned that the company might do a deal with Google or otherwise muddy the waters and make it harder to establish a value for the company that Microsoft could live with. For Icahn, that kind of thing is like chum in the water — it means that there is something bleeding nearby, something vulnerable, something worth taking a run at. In other words, just the kind of scenario that my friend Kara Swisher describes so vividly in her post. If Jerry thought that Microsoft was his biggest problem, he may have another think coming.

Samagri takes on Bauer sales and service
Hampshire-based Samagri is the new sales and service dealer for the full line-up of Bauer slurry tankers and digestate spreaders.
Austrian firm Bauer traditionally uses a technical member of its staff to advise customers on the right machine to buy, while the dealer network handles the service packages.
See also: Bauer adds steel options to slurry tanker range
However, Samagri owner Steve Berry has plenty of experience in the sector, after previously importing another tanker range. Bauer believes he is well placed to handle both areas.
TH White of Frome, Somerset, is the only other dealer to offer both sales and service.
The new range of BSA Profiline steel tankers was launched earlier this year with varying specifications, including wide 36m booms and huge 30cu m tankers.

The UHF Panel can be positioned wherever a conveyor system for the transportation of hanging garments is in place; it is specially recommended as reading system in the "marrying stations" of automatic sorting systems.
The reading process can be activated automatically:
while the hanging garment passes in front of the antenna, situated at a close distance, a sensor detects the garment, activates reading and the data is transferred to the control system.
- Utmost reading accuracy
- Reduced risk of unexpected reading, thanks to a system of monitored directional antennas
- Utmost intuitiveness
The UHF Panel has been designed to be installed anywhere and meet all sorts of logistic requirements.

Wedding industry is a dynamic industry and the wedding trends keep changing at a very fast pace here. Hence the wedding themes conceptualization, at the initial stage requires a good brainstorming by the wedding planner with his wedding designer.
Weddings and especially in destination weddings in Rajasthan the most loved wedding venues are the palaces, forts, heritage hotels.To plan a wedding in these venues requires a detailed mind map of constructing the wedding theme.
The whole wedding theme is assimilation of -client's choice, the geographical position of the wedding venue, the ideation of the wedding planner .This assimilation is given concrete form by the wedding designer. Wedding designer is the person who is trained in certain software with which he/she creates the sketch of the entire wedding venue incorporating the desired wedding theme .The wedding designer work gets the shape only with the instructions and presence of wedding planner. With the help of the pencil a writer writes his thoughts, in the same way with the help of a wedding designer , wedding planner executes his wedding theme creation.
Wedding planners make sure while designing the wedding that all the aspects of wedding planning, say-all wedding events decoration, wedding invites, social media wedding cards, bride groom wedding outfits, wedding entertainment are in sync with each other . No wedding part should look out of place and should rather complement each other.
When the wedding is designed the entire look of the wedding is created in advance in the images or layouts and it gets smooth sailing for the wedding family and the wedding planning team. Wedding execution is like a movie making, the entire wedding planning team dedicatedly works towards its successful release and the wedding designer has one of the most important roles to play in it.

For almost 25 years now, Natalie Allen has been making our news time on TV informative as well as enjoyable. Her bold and intellectual views on the current affairs and her chemistry with her co-anchors always make her news reporting fun to watch. Since her debut in 1992, she has gained remarkable achievements in her professional career as a journalist and also as a weather newscaster.
But what about her family life? Did you know that she is a married woman?
In May 1997, Natalie was the topic of news herself instead of reporting someone else's news. It was her wedding that gained the spotlight that year. She proudly announced to her fans and audiences that she had found her Mr. Right.
She asked her best friend Tony Williams to be one of the groomsmen in her wedding. Tony Williams and Natalie shared screen space in Channel 9's morning news segment. The gesture was much appreciated by Tony, but he couldn't attend the wedding due to his responsibilities for the network for May sweeps. He, however, did fly across the country to the wedding rehearsal dinner.

Natalie married an investment advisor. Her husband's name is Frederick Wright. As of 2016, Natalie, 54, and Frederick have been married for almost two full decades.
Image: Natalie Allen on the sets of her network, CNN
Before tying the knot, this duo had dated for a couple of years. It is not clear where they initially met, but wherever it was, they must feel pretty grateful for that meeting till date.
Natalie's family isn't that big. In 1997, Natalie and Frederick got married. And the very next year, the couple was blessed with a son. They named their son Nicholas Starr Wright. The junior of Natalie came of age in 2016. He graduated from college this May.
According to Natalie's Facebook page, she is single. And she has also not posted any photo of her and her husband on social networking sites.
Back from healthy vaca. Will I or will I not scarf some newsroom pizza? Too bad the A&W is all gone. pic.twitter.com/wya6PJlvsL— Natalie Allen (@AllenCNN) August 20, 2016
So does this mean she has divorced from her husband? Or is it just a coincidence? Well, Natalie has not yet spoken on this matter, so we can only guess.
Maybe she is still married but she just prefers to keep her personal life away from the radar, so she has not discussed it publicly. Or maybe she has separated from her child's father. We can't be sure for now.
What do you think? Has Natalie gotten a divorce from her husband? Or is she still married? Let us know in the comments below.

Assessment of Response to Lithium Maintenance Treatment in Bipolar Disorder: A Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) Report (2013)
Objective: The assessment of response to lithium maintenance treatment in bipolar disorder (BD) is complicated by variable length of treatment, unpredictable clinical course, and often inconsistent compliance. Prospective and retrospective methods of assessment of lithium response have been proposed in the literature. In this study we report the key phenotypic measures of the "Retrospective Criteria of Long-Term Treatment Response in Research Subjects with Bipolar Disorder" scale currently used in the Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) study. Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine ConLiGen sites took part in a two-stage case-vignette rating procedure to examine inter-rater agreement [Kappa (\(\kappa\))] and reliability [intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC)] of lithium response. Annotated first-round vignettes and rating guidelines were circulated to expert research clinicians for training purposes between the two stages. Further, we analyzed the distributional properties of the treatment response scores available for 1,308 patients using mixture modeling. Results: Substantial and moderate agreement was shown across sites in the first and second sets of vignettes (\(\kappa\) = 0.66 and \(\kappa\) = 0.54, respectively), without significant improvement from training. However, definition of response using the A score as a quantitative trait and selecting cases with B criteria of 4 or less showed an improvement between the two stages (\(ICC_1 = 0.71\) and \(ICC_2 = 0.75\), respectively). Mixture modeling of score distribution indicated three subpopulations (full responders, partial responders, non responders). Conclusions: We identified two definitions of lithium response, one dichotomous and the other continuous, with moderate to substantial inter-rater agreement and reliability. Accurate phenotypic measurement of lithium response is crucial for the ongoing ConLiGen pharmacogenomic study.
Increased cell proliferation in the rat anterior cingulate cortex following neonatal hypoxia: relevance to schizophrenia (2013)
As a consequence of obstetric complications, neonatal hypoxia has been discussed as an environmental factor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, the biological consequences of hypoxia are unclear. The neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia suggests that the onset of abnormal brain development and neuropathology occurs perinatally, whereas symptoms of the disease appear in early adulthood. In our animal model of chronic neonatal hypoxia, we have detected behavioral alterations resembling those known from schizophrenia. Disturbances in cell proliferation possibly contribute to the pathophysiology of this disease. In the present study, we used postnatal rats to investigate cell proliferation in several brain areas following neonatal hypoxia. Rats were repeatedly exposed to hypoxia (89 % N2, 11 % O2) from postnatal day (PD) 4–8. We then evaluated cell proliferation on PD 13 and 39, respectively. These investigations were performed in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), caudate-putamen (CPU), dentate gyrus, and subventricular zone. Rats exposed to hypoxia exhibited increased cell proliferation in the ACC at PD 13, normalizing at PD 39. In other brain regions, no alterations have been detected. Additionally, hypoxia-treated rats showed decreased CPU volume at PD 13. The results of the present study on the one hand support the assumption of chronic hypoxia influencing transient cell proliferation in the ACC, and on the other hand reveal normalization during ageing.

Lemurs, it turns out, are just wallabies in make-up. Who knew?
Not really. But watching Rooby the wallaby and Liam the lemur play around in this video from YouTube it's hard not to notice some similarities.
The two engage in a good old fashioned game of 'tips' (or tag, or chasey if you want to be wrong) as they run around the yard. But then the little cheat-of-a-lemur goes and ruins it by jumping on chairs. Tsk tsk.
The footage was taken at the Exotic Animal Experience in Orlando, Florida. A fascinating menagerie of animals resides here including several kangaroos, sloths, a kinkajou and muntjac deer from Europe.

Thomas Myhre says Sunderland's clash with Ipswich this weekend is a must-win game if the Black Cats are to keep up the pressure on the Championship's top two.
Sunderland are currently five points behind Wigan and Ipswich, who occupy the two automatic promotion slots with 39 points apiece.
A win on Sunday at the Stadium of Light would move fourth-placed Sunderland a step closer to the top two and prevent the gap widening.
Goalkeeper Myhre said: "I know there is a long way to go this season yet, but at this stage I guess you could call this a must-win game.
"A win would put us right up there, while a defeat would mean Ipswich going eight points clear of us and that would take some pulling back.
"This is a massive game and Ipswich have been in good form recently, but - the trip to Millwall apart - we have also been doing well."
Ipswich have climbed to second on the back of a run of 11 games without defeat, while Sunderland have yet to lose this season at home.
Myhre has been in excellent form for the Black Cats since he came into the side last month in place of Mart Poom, who is recovering from a knee operation.
Sunderland have won four out of five games with Myhre between the posts and they are looking to make that five out of six on Sunday.
Myhre said: "We have been winning games and picking up points and that's what we have to do.
"Our aim is to finish in the top two and win promotion and I think Ipswich are one of the teams who will be challenging us at the end of the season.
"Any of the top six or eight clubs will fancy their chances but I think the real dangers will be Wigan, Ipswich and West Ham.
"Last season Crystal Palace came right up from the bottom to make it into the play-offs but I can't see something like that happening again."
Myhre played for Norway on Tuesday night in a friendly against Australia at Fulham's Craven Cottage which ended 2-2.
Myhre said: "Apart from the result, it went OK. I felt fine afterwards and came back to train in Sunderland yesterday afternoon. I'll be fine for Sunday." Wales midfielder Carl Robinson will not play on Sunday after undergoing an operation on his broken nose - suffered against Rotherham last month - on Monday, which will keep him out of action until early December.
He picked up his fifth booking of the season in the game against Leicester last weekend, which would have ruled him out of Sunday's game in any event.

Earlier this year we looked at Liberty University's production of a low-budget biopic of "firefighter prophet" Mark Taylor. See: "Liberty U promoting biopic of Trump-idolizing conspiracy theorist" and "Liberty University's hero 'prophet' eager for Trump to declare martial law."
I was, at the time this first was announced, too gobsmacked by Taylor's sheer crackpottery and by the clumsy awfulness of Liberty's propaganda effort to notice how this collaboration represents a big generational shift within the religious-right faction of the Republican Party. But let's step back and notice what we have here.
The Trump Prophecy is explicitly a story from within the Pentecostal/charismatic wing of "INC" Christianity. It's right there in the name: "prophecy." Mark Taylor claims to have the spiritual gift of prophecy, which in that tradition means he believes that God speaks to him directly in visions that foretell the future. His story is being affirmed, endorsed, and promoted by Liberty University and by the school's leader, Jerry Falwell Jr.
Look back a generation and you wouldn't see this kind of comfortable collaboration between charismatic "prophets" and fundamentalists like Jerry Falwell Sr. In the 1980s and well into the 1990s, Falwell and other fundie preachers denounced such spiritual gifts and their claims of new and special revelation from God. Falwell et. al. argued that such claims were not merely unbiblical, but anti-biblical — an attack on and an affront to "the authority of the scriptures." The revelation provided by the "literal" words of our inspired, infallible, inerrant Bibles (translated into English and interpreted exclusively by American men like them) were sufficient. That was the central message of these fundie preachers, and the purported "prophecies" of the self-proclaimed charismatic "prophets" challenged that, undermining the Bible's monopoly on revelation and thus, in their view, undermining the Bible itself.
This anti-Pentecostal strain of fundamentalism can still be found in fundie preachers like mega-church pastor John MacArthur — guys whose quest for power is channeled mainly within their religious fiefdoms. But fundamentalist leaders who have abandoned separatism in exchange for a quest for political power and cultural influence have become more cautious these days about potentially offending the charismatic/Pentecostal white evangelicals they rely on as political allies.
This shift was gradual — a slow dance that began between Jerry Sr.'s fundamentalist Moral Majority and Pat Robertson's charismatic Christian Coalition. Falwell and Robertson never saw eye to eye on charismatic gifts or the sufficiency of biblical revelation, but they developed a warm friendship based on their shared devotion to what both saw as the most essential component of their faith: Republican politics. (Blest be-ee the tie-ie that biiinds …)
Still, though, you'd never have seen a fundamentalist from Jerry Sr.'s time promoting the "prophecy" and special revelation of a guy like Mark Taylor. The fact that Jerry Jr. has no hesitation about doing so suggests to me that he's inherited all of his father's partisan politics, but little of his father's religious beliefs.
Back in June, when Liberty first began promoting its "major motion picture," Fox News ran a story about it. The Fox hook was that persecuted Christians were being denied their God-given right to run political ads on Facebook — a spin provided and suggested by the film's main money-man, right-wing Christian nationalist producer Rick Eldridge. "We think it's going to help unite this world but that's a message Facebook doesn't want us to tell," Eldridge told Fox.
Fox reporter Caleb Parke generally seems to agree that helping "unite this world" behind the divine right of Trump's authoritarian leadership is not an inherently "political" or "controversial" proposition. But at least Parke does acknowledge that some of Mark Taylor's other "prophecies" might seem that way:
One of the more controversial claims Taylor has made, that is not included in the movie, is that President Barack Obama will be charged with treason and that Trump will release cures for cancer and Alzheimer's disease that the pharmaceutical industry has kept secret.
The word "controversial" is doing a great deal of work in that sentence. Whether or not the government and the pharmaceutical industry have been keeping secret cures for cancer and Alzheimer's disease is, according to Fox News, a matter of some "controversy."
What we have here is a variation of a very old urban legend/conspiracy theory. It was already an old trope back in 1951, when Ealing Studios made a delightful comedy romp based on the idea. The Man in the White Suit stars a young Alec Guinness as a quixotic scientist who stumbles across a formula for creating a brilliant white fabric that repels dirt, never tears, and never wears out. His invention puts him at odds with the textile industry, which fears it will put them all out of business. So poor Alec Guinness winds up on the run, chased by crooked capitalists and angry mill workers alike. Hilarity ensues.
You've surely encountered some version of this idea. The claim may be that "they" already have a light bulb or a battery that never dies out, but we can't buy one because the invention has been suppressed by greedy industrialists whose fortune is based on planned obsolescence. Or perhaps "they" already have invented a car that gets a thousand miles to the gallon, or cold fusion in a jar, or perpetual motion. But they're keeping it secret, suppressing it to protect their profits from selling us the inferior products they've allowed us to have instead.
It's an odd idea, based in both a cynical critique of capitalism (the game is rigged by greedy rich people) and also in a credulous embrace of the most starry-eyed aspects of capitalist ideology (supply will always be created to meet demand, even if the thing demanded is impossible).
Mark Taylor's version of this conspiratorial legend is more sinister than The Man in the White Suit. In his version, "they" have a cure for cancer and a cure for Alzheimer's, but "they" refuse to share it with us common people. In Taylor's "prophetic" visions, Donald Trump — God's ordained champion of all that is good — will liberate these secret cures, the blind will see, the lame will walk, and good news will be preached to … um, white Christians.
I wish I could tell you that the prompt for this rambling post was something pleasant — that TMC was replaying old Alec Guinness comedies this month or something. But I'm afraid that's not what spurred this discussion.
What prompted it, rather, was realizing that another self-appointed "prophet" from the Charisma/INC crowd was now joining Taylor in promoting this conspiracy theory: "Hank Kunneman: God Will Release Cures for Cancer and Alzheimer's in Response to Synagogue Massacre."
Kunneman is pastor of an Oklahoma City mega-church and a frequent guest on Christian nationalist television and radio programs. Like his many peers in the charismatic "prophecy" racket, Kunneman claims to receive direct messages from God — messages that cannot be questioned because they carry all the authority of God. And Kunneman says that God told him that God is starting to lose patience with "them" over their keeping all the cures for everything from the public:
"God says, 'There has been a signing into law, those who have been afflicted but can find no cure, no help, that medical cures that are out there, that exist, but they've been stopped through bureaucracy, they've been stopped through politics, they've been stopped through legislation,'" [Kunneman] said. …
Kunneman prophesied that President Trump would "join hands" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring to the world "medical cures and scientific discoveries" that have been created in Israel.
"God says, 'Watch as cancer shall be known as a thing of the past,'" Kunneman declared. "'Alzheimer's, diabetes shall be known as a thing of the past,' says the Lord."
Kunneman's particular spin on this hoary urban legend is interesting. Part of the reason this conspiracy theory has proved so enduring is that it makes for a good story. It provides us with villains who have a logical, comprehensible motive: greed. That's the crucial ingredient in any promising conspiracy theory: the alleged conspirators have to have a reason to conspire. What's in it for them? Follow the money.*
That's why the Eternal Battery/Lightbulb/White Suit story and its close relative the Secret Cure(s) are compelling. They offer an at least semi-plausible working theory as to why the conspirators are conspiring. It's because textile industrialists would go bankrupt if Alec Guinness' secret formula became public. Or it's because cruel hospital administrators and pharmaceutical companies can make more money sucking patients dry with the painful, expensive, and largely ineffective treatments that are now all "they" offer the general public. (The latter conspiracy theory also offers some cut-rate therapeutic theodicy: The suffering of the natural world is "explained" by placing the blame on greedy, unnatural villains.)
In Kunneman's variation, though, these greedy capitalist villains are replaced with bureaucrats and politicians and legislators. I understand why Kunneman prefers that set of villains, but I don't understand how the story is supposed to work in that case. Why would bureaucrats and politicians cruelly hide away cures to such diseases? How could they do so? What's in it for them?
Kunneman doesn't offer an answer to that question because he doesn't think he needs one. Neither does the large audience who hangs on every word of his "prophecy." The villains in the stories they tell don't have any motive other than just being villains. They're just evil, OK? They like watching people suffer and die from cancer and Alzheimer's just for kicks and giggles. You know, just like they enjoy killing sweet little innocent babies.
I realize this is kind of my hobbyhorse, but yet there it is. Even cancer and Alzheimer's are now being blamed on the central figures of white American religion: Satanic baby-killers.
That's more explicit in Taylor's variation of this Trump-cures-cancer conspiracy theory, which he cribs entirely from the whole Pizzagate-turned-up-to-11 netherworld of "QAnon" and "The Storm." (Taylor's "visions from God" seem to come mostly when he's reading some of the weirder outposts of Reddit.)
But it's implicit there in Kunneman's version of the legend, too. The story he's telling requires a vast, powerful, wealthy, global conspiracy of "Them."
And that always means one thing.
Kunneman seems to realize this and tries, desperately, to inoculate against it by involving Netanyahu as Trump's co-champion, suggesting that these cures will come from Israel (waves "Hi" to Chaim Rosenzweig), and packaging the whole thing as God's merciful response to the horrific slaughter in a Pittsburgh synagogue. But none of that changes the fact that his conspiracy theory requires the mechanations of a pure-evil cabal of wealthy, global string-pullers, and that this cabal will inevitably always wind up being identified as "The Jews."
What happens when the willfully credulous Christian nationalists of Kunneman's flock see their hopes for an imminent cure for all diseases fail to materialize? Who will they blame? Not Kunneman. And not Donald Trump.
Most of them probably won't express this blame violently. But some will. And the others will stand by, offering thoughts and prayers for all the fine people on both sides.
Granted, two B-list "prophets" spreading the same conspiracy theory is not yet evidence of a trend — even though one of them has been endorsed by the largest white evangelical university in America. But this is worth noting and keeping an eye on, because — like all lies — it cannot lead us anywhere good, and it has the potential to be deeply, darkly serious.
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
* This is why I've never understood the appeal of Flat Earth conspiracy theories. I can't follow the money because there is no money. I can't understand why any global conspiracy would bother conspiring such a thing because what's in it for them? Nothing.
The same is true, of course, for the conspiracy theory that claims climate change is a "hoax." Why would millions of people participate in such a massive, elaborate hoax? The really dim proponents of this conspiracy theory say it's because of money and greed — a claim based on a wildly mistaken impression of how much adjunct faculty get paid. The more sophisticated version says it's because all of those millions of scientists and researchers and polar bears and glaciers are secretly Communist and they're just using climate change as a Trojan horse for the tyrannical global socialist OWG they seek to impose.
Setting aside the complication of being asked to believe in secretly Maoist glaciers, this claim just seems like shoddy storytelling. It's barely concealed plagiarism from the McCarthyite Red Scare of the 1950s. We've all heard this one before, thanks, and it wasn't that good the first time. If a conspiracy theorist is going to ask us for our time and attention, is it too much to ask that they put a bit more creativity, originality, and effort into the scheme? Craftsmanship, people. That's all I ask.
Well … storytelling craftsmanship and also a refusal to join in spreading the kind of vicious anti-Semitic lies that always lead to murder. That's all I ask.

Malaysian Pineapple Tarts for Chinese New Year
Pineapple tarts are little pockets of crumbly, buttery, pineapple-jammy goodness…… the quintessential Lunar New Year's sweet treat in Malaysia and Taiwan. Making these cookies is a tasty little way to bring a little lunar new year celebration into your kitchen and makes for a fun collaborative cooking project to do with kids or friends. It's true that they're a bit time consuming to put together since you have to make pineapple jam in addition to the cookie dough, but all in all none of the steps are particularly difficult. Just make the jam and dough ahead of time and then gather your helpers for a cookie assembly party. Luca, who is 6 was able to assemble the cookies with only very little help from me — thanks to our trusty tortilla press. My little guy loved brushing the cookies with eggwash before they went into the oven.
Having delved into the world of pineapple tarts over the past weeks, I have learned that there are a variety of styles (Malaysian, Taiwanese, different shapes and decorations, filled, open face)….. which means with the basic dough and jam, you can experiment with making the shape and size that appeal to you. The kids and I started off making ovals (more of the traditional pineapple shape), but somehow decided we liked the look of round balls with pineapple-ish slashes on top, glazed with an eggwash enhanced with sweetened condensed milk to make the cookies super golden and shiny.
After making a small test batch of these, I brought some over to Simran and her family for a taste. I didn't get nervous until I thought about the fact that Simran and her parents lived in Singapore for many years, are total foodies and would most definitely be familiar with this signature holiday treat…and I should probably also mention that they're not afraid to call out sub-standard food when it crosses their path! So it was a bit like going in the lions den with this one. Luckily, they gave their thumbs up which means that you can feel free to make this recipe with a bit of street cred and that you really should bake some the next time you need to cheer up a homesick friend from Malaysia.
Guest Recipe: Becky's Carrot Zucchini Pineapple Muffins
My friend Becky is about as close to a "super mom" as you can get. A demanding full-time job, 3 kids, and manages to find the energy for fun adventures, running half marathons, lots of home-cooked goodness, and having a sense of humor about it all. If she wasn't such an awesome person, I might just hate her a little.
Here's what she says about these carrot-zucchini muffins: "We make them in mini muffin tins. Oliver (baby) loves them and the other two will eat them if they are starving, so I save them for the ride home from school. They travel well and are reasonably good for you. Nate (toddler) is a huge fan of cooking with me and he loves this because he gets to do the cuisinart and the mixer. He also likes putting the cupcake papers into the baking pans. Even though he helps me make these, it doesn't stop him from looking at the muffins later and saying – what is this green stuff mommy? Oh well!"
I gave them a test run recently and the kids I was with (ages 2-4) ate them right up. "Do these have vegetables in them?" asks the four year old, suspiciously. Aren't you amazed at the impressive power of observation that kids have when it comes to spotting that sliver of green or tiny speck of pepper? But despite the suspicion of vegetables lurking, the lure of these muffins was just too strong. Tiny nibble…. "Mmmmm these are THE BEST!". Big bite…. "More please!"
This makes a large batch (~2 dozen standard-sized muffins), so unless you have 3 hungry kids, you might cut it in half, freeze some, or best yet share with a friend. For little hands (or messy cooks), you can scoop the batter into a large zip lock bag, snip the corner and "pipe" into the muffin tins about 2/3 full.
Shopping List: eggs; vegetable oil or unsweetened applesauce; sugar; vanilla extract; 2 zucchini; 3 carrots; 1 can crushed pineapple in juice; salt; flour (all-purpose or can substitute 50% all purpose and 50% whole wheat); baking soda; baking powder; cinnamon; nutmeg; nut or dried fruit (optional)
- Combine 3 eggs, 1 cup of oil (or use apple sauce or a combination), 2 cups sugar (I reduced this by about a third), 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat together until thick and foamy
- In the cuisinart shred about 2 zucchini and 3 carrots so that you pretty well fill up a 9 cup cuisnart. Squeeze well to remove excess moisture and then stir into the to the mixture above.
- Add 1 can of well drained crushed pineapple (Crushed is much better than cubes as no one notices them if they are crushed.)
- In a seperate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt, 3 cups flour (or substitute 1.5 cups white and 1.5 wheat flour), 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture, but don't stir too much because it will make the muffins too heavy. (I usually stop using the mixer at this point and mix by hand.)
- If you like, add 1c nuts and 1 c. raisins (My kids aren't fans of these at all.)
- Bake at about 350 for 15 – 25 minutes until they spring back in the center and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Reduce the baking time for mini muffins.

The hot wind blowing into Macao was sluggish and unrefreshing, only stirring up the rotting salt smell of the harbor, the fish-corpses and great knots of black-red seaweed, the effluvia of human and dragon wastes.Book 3 in the Temeraire
–Naomi Novik - Black Powder War - c.2006 - Chapter 1 - pg. 9
ISBN: 0345481305 ; Wikipedia entry ; aarti chapati
I can't say very much about the plot of this book without giving away plot details from Book 2. I enjoyed this more than the second, maybe because I read it straight after and so was more in the mindset of the books, or maybe because I liked the story better, or maybe simply because it is a better book. Whatever the reason, if you liked the previous two books in this series you'll want to read on.
We get yet more adventures from Temerarie and William, but we also get to see more of the world that Novik has created. Plus feral dragons and Temeraire's desire to get home and help free British dragons from their almost-slavery.
I think my favourite character of this book is the new dragon Iskierka, although she isn't a major character Show Spoiler ▼
she is pretty forceful. If the series continues in this manner, light adventure, then I'll continue to read along.

I'd spot the salary range for managers in this type of business at around $31K - 55K per year depending on the company, the location, and your length of service. Paid vacation, medical, and profit sharing or stock options are Starbucks kinds of benefits -- nice if you can get them, but the majority of businesses like that would not offer all that. A 40-hour work week with no overtime is another SB deal, but a rarity for most retail or restaurant managers (especially ones with an ownership interest). Hopefully, this gives you something on which to base your negotiations. Good luck.

Re: How do i evaluate this opportunity?LUCKIEST Jan 9, 2008 10:50 AM (in response to WilsonLegacy)It sounds good tom me, Maybe the following will help, LUCKIESTh3. 6 Steps to Small Business Success
1. Start Smart
2. Plan Ahead
3. Set up Systems
4. Seek out Sales
5. Aim for Growth
6. Leverage Opportunities
1. Start Smart.
Identify a niche. Don't compete to be the lowest cost provider. Look
for what makes your product or service unique and adds a special value
for the client and charge for that value. Every business has many
facets. Start with what you know and like; start a business that has
meaning to you. Keep in mind that we don't know what the future holds,
many of the jobs and businesses of tomorrow don't exist today. You can
create your own success.
Now is the time to dream. To start smart, you should like the idea of
the business. The way to earn a good income and build wealth is by
serving clients well, making their life better in some way-it's more
than filling a need in the marketplace. To succeed you want to test the
idea to make sure your potential clients like the idea too. Test your
2. Plan Ahead.
People often ask me why bother with a business plan? Look at the
lottery as an example. You may get lucky and get the winning ticket,
but the odds are against you when you rely on random chance. I'm a risk
taker...but not that much, minimize the risk of going into business and
maximize your potential for success. Take the time to write a plan of
how you get from point A to point B. A plan gives you a clear future
focus and increases your chances of success.
The first rule of a start-up is put some of your own money in the
business. As the owner you must be willing to capitalize the business.
The second rule is put as little of your own money as possible in the
business. Prepare your plan and look for funding for your business from
multiple sources, which can include a business loan or business line of
Don't go it alone. Plan ahead now to build your team. Your team may
include a CPA and an attorney that you work with as needed. Add a
mentor from your industry and get a SCORE mentor to help you plan for
success. No one has all the answers. You get more ideas and information
by building a success, support team that can help you plan ahead.
3. Set up Systems.
The most basic system every business should have is a good financial
system. Ask yourself how am I going to generate enough income to
support myself and my family. Begin here. Put together a personal
budget, so you know what it costs you to live. Now, you can move on to
the business budget and sales planning, so you can see how many sales
you need to break even and make a profit. The start-up expense plan,
operating budget and your accounting software are vital to your
The daunting question is how do you go about seeking out your first
sale. Recognize that since you don't have a big ad budget to be seen by
everyone, you need to target a niche and get connected in your market
community, be it local, regional or national. You need other people
selling for you-not employees-goodwill referrals. Get out and talk to
as many people as you can. Join organizations that would have clients
for your product or service. Become a visible part of your market, and
then ask for the sale. You begin the sales process with people that you
know. Yes, it's okay to start with friends and family as your first
customers, and then broaden from there.
The basic tenant of creating a company is that you own the company. You
are not just creating a job for yourself. It's less risk and less
investment to get a job. Building a business is creating a company that
is more than the job itself. Think about the future. How large do you
want the company to be in terms of sales, net profit and employees?
Your answer to each of these questions will influence how you grow.
There are varying costs and profits associated with growth. It's
important to make a deliberate choice early about how you want to grow
your company.
6. Leverage Opportunities.
Good luck. Good fortune. Good timing. All play a part in business. As a
business owner, be very clear about your core focus for the business
and how it serves clients. Your core business is what pays the bills.
Then, as an entrepreneur you are about opportunity. When you see a
potential opportunity or stroke of luck measure it against your core
business focus. Good fortune is great, when it matches your vision for
the business. Always consider if a good opportunity is the right fit
for your business. If something looks great, but it's not in sync with
your long-term plan and budget, think carefully before committing your
company's resources.
Re: How do i evaluate this opportunity?DomainDiva Jan 9, 2008 11:58 AM (in response to WilsonLegacy)I am looking at the projected sales numbers 350,000 - 1M. That is a huge spread.
Besides the good advice on salary and benefits would there be any considerations for a bonus for increasing revenue? For coming up with an inventive marketing scheme?
Re: How do i evaluate this opportunity?WilsonLegacy Jan 9, 2008 12:31 PM (in response to DomainDiva)Any type of bonus is something that i'm, at this stage in my career, still very unfamiliar with. To this point i have been experience mining and typically have been hourly. My goal for posing this question is to hopefully find a package that i feel comfortable with presenting to the owners when we sit down to discuss compensation in about ten days. The reason for the large spread is because we havn't had access to as much of the information as we need to this point. When we begin negotiations all of that data will become transparent to us. It is indeed an extremely unique opportunity and i esnure everyone that my colleague and i also have back-up plans if we feel that we aren't being treated apropriately.
Re: How do i evaluate this opportunity?DomainDiva Jan 9, 2008 2:57 PM (in response to WilsonLegacy)May I suggest you contact Lighthouse24 or CorpCons08 on the board and see if they can help you come up with something concrete.
Re: How do i evaluate this opportunity?MDF2008 Jan 20, 2008 11:35 AM (in response to WilsonLegacy)
Keep this simple.
1. Do you have a business plan completed? If no you need to do that first.
2. What do you and your partner want? Write it down and agree and sign.
3. Ask the other two owners what they would like to see. Then make a counter offer
on what you and your partner want to make it all happen.
4. Request a buy out at some point in time from the two owners; becuase you store
will turn bigger numbers.
5. Scaled numbers are needed based on the location.
6. Manage the risk factors and list them with your partner.
Like you said they are just offing the dollars not running the operation.
Management operations is key......there is alway money available.
So how good are you and your partner in making a $ ROI for the operation.
7. Ask for other locations options and first right of refusal too.
Best of Luck 2008.

I'm entering into a very unique opportunity and i'm not sure how to evaluate the opportunity in terms of compensation so i would like to know if any one has a suggestion for me. Here is the situation:
A business partner and myself have been training at a retail food establishment. The establishment is a franchise that provides coffee, smoothies, food, and the like. The business employs 10-12 associates and will make anywhere from $350,00 to $1,000,000 in sales. We are training to assume complete managerial duties and operational tasks. we have not provided any start-up capital therefore our investment is purely time and experience. We each have associates degree's in business administration as well as a multitude of certificates in related feilds and 5+ years each in retail experience, which includes management. we are currently in the process of obtaining our bachelor's degrees as well.
1) What type of compensation should we be asking for?
2) What type of benefits and/or additional incentives should we be asking for?

Increasing profit is the ultimate goal for all business owners and managers. Big or small, all courses of actions aim towards boosting revenues. But in order to achieve this objective, it is important to spend money on various sorts that will help accomplish it. In the early stages of the business, expect expenses to go over and beyond. Once the business is established though, it is all right to assess overall spending and cut needless and excessive costs to increase profit.
Where to cut costs? Expenses vary from one business to another but marketing costs, utilities, and office supplies are basic. While it is tricky to cut costs on more specific business expenses, it is safe to reduce spending on the aforementioned.
Tips to Reduce Business Expenses and Increase Profit
Marketing Cost
Remove unnecessary and costly marketing expenses. Early stage marketing strategies are aggressive and too costly. It is for this reason that owners and managers need to evaluate all these strategies once the business is established. Few initial approaches are no longer necessary and must be removed. And new ones must be implemented to keep the business from thriving.
Moderate energy consumption to lower the monthly bill. The use of energy is unavoidable but consumption can be reduced by doing simple changes.
- Open windows during the day and let the natural sunlight illuminate the office.
- Adjust the settings of the air conditioner and heater depending on the need. Or better yet install a thermostat to regulate the office space temperature.
- Remind all employees to turn off devices after the day's end and during long breaks. And assign personnel to check that all devices are turned off or unplugged at the end of the day.
- Change old models of equipment with energy-efficient ones and do regular maintenance.
Terminate or modify unwanted monthly and yearly service contracts to cut on subscription expenses. This covers various services including Broadband, VoIP, landline, and software. Review all contracts and check for overlap services. At times, a particular service provider offers a bundle at a much lesser cost. Weigh the pros and cons for the offer. Choose whether it is better to go for it and terminate the other service provider; or stick with your current setup – whichever is beneficial to the business.
Office Supplies
Buy in bulk and save on shipping. Estimate the volume of office supplies consumed on a monthly (or quarterly) basis and make a one-time purchase at a given time. Store the supplies once available and dispense only at a specific time or when needed. Doing so will ensure that the supplies will last up until the next order and delivery.
Use cheaper laser printer cartridge consumables and save at least 40%. There are many available OEM cartridge alternatives that are more affordable and reliable – compatible cartridge, remanufactured cartridge, and refill kit. A compatible cartridge is an all-new piece. Remanufactured cartridge is a reused, repaired, and refilled product. And a do-it-yourself toner refill kit is a set of tools to replenish empty cartridges. To be certain about the alternative printer cartridge to use, find a reliable seller.
There are still many areas to cut costs. It is up to the business owners and managers to identify the extent that will not pose a problem to the operations.

I was musing today on the nature of roleplaying and there is one thing that I have never been about my hobby - secretive.
I've always been quite open about being a tabletop gamer. I don't fling myself in people's faces and declare that 'my hobby is the roleplaying!' but if the conversation turns to 'what do you do in your spare time?' then I'll casually mention that I play roleplaying games along with my other interests. If they ask again, I just say it's like a freeform boardgame for actors. If they enquire further I inevitably say, 'you know... Dungeons and Dragons'. Even if that's not what I'm playing, it's the name everyone recognises.
Because I approach it in such a relaxed 'whatever' attitude I'm never looked at strangely or ridiculed for it. If I find out they've taken the piss behind my back that's their prerogative and a true indication of their character, but in general almost all the people I've said it to just go 'oh, right' and change the subject. And that's fine by me - I'm not interested in botany or football so if someone told me that their primary hobby was planting flowers and kicking balls around I'd probably do the same thing. We're not all into the same stuff.
A couple of people I knew back in the 1990s were good gamers and I knew them primarily through the games we played, but I do remember one night we were getting together to go out for a few beers with some of their friends and I was asked not to mention RPGs. When I asked why I was told it was because 'they wouldn't get it', but so what? I don't get cricket but I'm not going to disassociate myself with someone who does. I had lots of non-gamer friends who had no interest in the hobby, so we didn't discuss it and they never felt the need to take the piss. End of.
So this got me thinking - what is it that makes some tabletop roleplayers feel like lepers when they're asked about their hobby? I've come across idiots who think it's funny to take the mickey out of us and make comments about pointy hats and rubber swords but that's okay - we're a fringe hobby, I guess, and if people don't understand something they ridicule it. But it's never dissuaded me from talking about my hobby if I'm asked about it. I've never made it a secret and, in many ways, I enjoy talking about it if people are interested to hear about it.
Like I said, I was just musing. I've got no real point to make.

SUFFOLK police believe drinkers on their way home from a night out could hold the key to solving the alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl in Bramford.
SUFFOLK police believe drinkers on their way home from a night out could hold the key to solving the alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl in Bramford.
Detective Superintendent Roy Lambert, man leading the hunt for the rapist, today re-issued a plea to the public for help.
He also said expressed his surprise at the lack of people who had come forward since he appealed for witnesses to the attack which took place on Thursday night.
Officers working on the case re-interviewed the victim yesterday, but now desperately need people in the area at the time to get in touch with them.
"We have had the odd call but it is a very small number," said Det Supt Lambert. "We have not had the response we were hoping for.
"We just need to hear from anyone in that area at the time because they may have very important information and we just need to eliminate them from the inquiry.
"If you were in the area that night between 11pm and 12am, please assist the investigation by getting in touch."
The 17-year-old victim had been out with friends in Claydon when she took a bus back to the village and got off at a stop on the main street near Acton Road.
She was walking down an alleyway leading from the main street to Acton Close just after 11pm when she was grabbed from behind and dragged onto a patch of nearby grass by the sex attacker.
Officers said the girl was then forced to the ground and raped.
Police said she was not seriously injured in the attack but has been left extremely distressed by the incident.
Detectives have described the man they are hunting as a white male, aged about 19 or 20, around 6ft tall, wearing a dark bomber-style jacket, dark trousers and a beige baseball cap pulled down tightly just above his eyes.
Scenes of crime officers cordoned off the alleyway on Thursday night and most of Friday as they searched the area for evidence.
Mr Lambert said it was too early to say if the attacker was definitely a local man and added that police would continue to make enquiries around the area over the next few days.
Anyone with information should telephone Stowmarket CID via the central switchboard on 01473 613500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

- Attractions
- Guided tour and discovery
Charleroi was once named by a Dutch suvey "the ugliest city in the world"... To fight that reputation, a passionate citizen created an urban safari: a wonderful way to (re)discover the buildings and characters who made this post-industrial city famous.
The program of this safari can be adapted to its public: families, companies for team buildings, photography clubs, small groups (10-15 persons), big groups (up to 150 persons) ...
The experience
The basic tour is divided in 3 parts:
- town centre with the station, docks, stock exchange, south bank, the rue de la montagne, the top of the city (with a stop at the Musée des Beaux-arts and/or BPS22 depending on the weather)
- a mine heap (a portion of the GR, the Piges heap)
- a walk along the Ravel between Charleroi and Marchienne, coming back by the road to Mons, passing through Rockerill

Update: Haseltine posted an update on his remarks to his blog.
In a series of tweets over the last few days, Jars of Clay lead singer Dan Haseltine joined a growing number of Americans in supporting gay marriage. One of Contemporary Christian Music's most popular bands, Jars of Clay has won Grammys, Dove Awards, and sold millions of records. "The treatment of people as less than human based on the color of skin is crazy… Or gender, or sexual orientation for that matter," Haseltine tweeted on Tuesday. "I just don't see a negative effect to allowing gay marriage. No societal breakdown, no war on traditional marriage. ?? Anyone?"
While a musician with political opinions is nothing terribly new, Haseltine's tweets have generated a great deal of conversation in the last few days. Charisma News has reported "The Shattering of Jars of Clay," and conservative blogger and professor Denny Burk posted some of Haseltine's remarks over at his website. "We are heartbroken that he is shaking his fist in Jesus' face. When did Dan depart from truth?" Amy Spreeman asked at Stand Up for the Truth.
Although he hasn't responded to critics directly, Haseltine argued via Twitter that "It is a form of dismissal when we assume we know a person once we identify their 'sin.' We withhold love for fear it would enable." He suggested that, although the Scriptures may be without error, humankind's interpretation of the Scriptures is never without error and that should lead Christians to err on the side of love rather than judgement.

Updated: Gore Ridge Fire expands
Firefighting crews are still in the thick of things Wednesday morning, Sept. 14, battling the Gore Ridge Fire west of Kremmling. Fire activity was low as of Wednesday morning with the no visible open flames and the fire only smoldering with smoke and ash. Fire officials are optimistic about the ongoing situation but remain extremely cautious. Officials remain concerned about the potential for increased winds today, which could spread the fire.
County and State fire officials held a community meeting Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. to update the public on the ongoing suppression efforts.
As of early Wednesday morning containment on the fire stands at 35 percent. The fire had grown to a size of approximately eight-and-a-half-acres as of 11 a.m. Wednesday morning. Fire crews have been conducting back burns in the area. Back burns are firefighter initiated controlled burns that are intended to create firebreaks between the existing fire and additional fuel sources.
No additional evacuations have been ordered but the 12 houses that were evacuated on Tuesday Sept. 13, the Gorewood Estates subdivision and other residences located in a roughly one-mile circle around the fire, remain threatened. Grand County Road 14 and County Road 14 South remain closed.
Residents have not been allowed to return home permanently. Officials did allow some residents who were evacuated to return home briefly with official escorts to retrieve essential items such as medication or identification but the evacuation orders remain in effect.
Grand County Sheriff Brett Schroetlin, who is acting as incident commander for the Gore Ridge Fire, said, "We are leaving the minimal evacuations in place. We want to keep them out until we can get the firefighters in there to assess. But we don't anticipate it to be long term."
As of Wednesday morning no structures have been lost and no injuries have been reported. A total of nine agencies have responded to the fire with a total of 71 personnel working the incident. Assisting local firefighting agencies are the Craig Hotshot Crew and the Juniper Valley Hand Crew, which arrived on scene today, Sept. 14. A pair of helicopters also remain on scene assisting from the air.
"Through those nine agencies we have had pretty good success making strides on this fire," Sheriff Schroetlin said.
Sam Parsons, with the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control provided information from the State's Multi-Mission Aircraft (MMA) that is used for aerial reconnaissance. Parsons showed video from MMA over flights that were conducted Wednesday morning, showing hotspots and the central smoldering portion of the fire.
Power has not been returned to the area as officials want to allow Mountain Parks Electric to assess the state of any power lines in the area before electrical service is switched back on.
The Gore Ridge Fire is burning in heavy timber, much of it beetle killed pine, which poses a significant blow-over hazard to firefighters. As such the Gore Ridge Fire is being fought primarily through indirect means.

The Valentine's Day massacre of 1929 still grabs the imagination.
Seven men were machine-gunned that day in Chicago at a nondescript garage, the culmination of more than four years of gang warfare and 38 murders in the city. The crime was never solved, although Al Capone was the major suspect.
The gang leader George 'Bugs' Moran told reporters "Only Capone kills like that." Capone replied: "The only man who kills like that is Bugs Moran."
All very small beer, compared to Chicago's 2016 murder total of 746.

Living in San Diego, we have a great opportunity to eat authentic Mexican cuisine. When many people think of Mexican food, they may think about all the calories associated with it. But, Mexican food doesn't have to be high in calories or fat. In fact, like most other cuisines Mexican food can be healthy when you know what foods to add or stay away from. A few simple tips can take you from being afraid of Mexican food to embracing and enjoying it in no time.
1. Side show
Just as a salad can be overloaded with condiments that take it from healthy to fatty, so it is with Mexican food. Many dishes may come with sour cream, cheese, refried beans or guacamole standard, but the best way to avoid unnecessary calories is to ask for those items on the side. When putting these food items on the side, you are able to control the extra calories you consume.
2. Neither corn or flour
Usually, when given the option I choose flour torillas to go along with my dish. That all changed when I realized that just the torilla alone will net you about 150-400 extra calories per serving. Now, when I order out in a Mexican restaurant I choose corn tortillas; which contain less calories and are typically smaller than flour torillas. Also, another way to reduce calories is to order food that doesn't come with tortillas as an option.
3. Side of greens instead of beans
Instead of the traditional rice and beans with your meal, try ordering a side salad instead. It's a pretty decent way to limit the amount of calories you consume with your meal. And, don't forget to have them put the dressing on the side.
4. Margarita Mondays
Margaritas are a staple in any Mexican establishment. While they are tasty, margaritas are full of calories and just one can derail you fitness efforts. For a regular size cocktail, you are looking at about 300 calories. If you order a pitcher or super size it, that's adding more calories. All your hard work could be lost to just a few drinks. Instead, if you want to drink, consume a glass of water first. That will quench your thirst and reduce your chances of over-consuming high calorie, alcoholic beverages.
5. I'll have another please…. another choice that is
In addition to skipping the margaritas, you can substitute other, less calorie-ridden drinks and enjoy a cocktail. Things such as a glass of wine, mojito or shot of tequila all pack less calories than a margarita or other fruity drinks.
6. Beans are good?
While legumes in general are a good source of protein, not all are made equal. Re-fried beans are not a good choice when you are trying to mind your diet. Black beans are a better choice as a side and many Mexican restaurants will gladly serve those instead.
7. Chips and Salsa – Free Gift?
Salsa is a wise condiment choice. However, when you make a meal of those chips and salsa, you may have consumed just as many calories as you would during dinner… and the entree hasn't even arrived yet. Soups and other house favorites are just the appetizers to hold you over before the main meal arrives.
8. Preparation is key
When you consider what to order from a Mexican restaurant, be sure to think about how a dish is prepared. If it's fried, made with lard or other harmful fats or just drenched in butter or other oils, be sure to stay away from order it. As a general rule, anything that is grilled, steamed or poached will pack much less calories and taste just as good.
9. Back to basics
No matter what type of cuisine you choose, if you order chicken, tofu, fish or vegetables you will be in headed in the right direction because they are naturally lower in calories. Beef or other meats will be higher in calories. Keep that in mind when you decide what type of food to get.
Overall, ordering Mexican food doesn't have to be a scary thing. As long as you keep these tips in mind, you'll be able to navigate Mexican cuisine to suit your diet and ensure all your hard work isn't in vain.

Method for solving EMC problem of medical power supply equipment.
Method for solving EMC problem of medical power supply equipment.What are the methods to solve the EMC problem of medical power supply equipment? The following is a method for solving the EMC problem of medical power supply equipment by Shenzhen Lianyunda Electronics Co., Ltd.1.choose a medical power supplyThe problem of EMC of medical power supply, 60% is caused by the quality of switching power supply. Customers must use high-quality switching power supply modules before sending inspections. The domestic switching power supply modules are uneven, many claim to have passed 3C certification. Products, when used in medical equipment, can also cause problems, especially Class B-level RE, CE testing.Many domestic switching power supplies and medical power supplies claim that their products have passed 3C certification and there is no EMC risk (especially RE and CE issues). However, in the case of 3C certification, this type of switching power supply is generally connected to a resistive load test. Once connected to the "real load", EMC problems will be exposed. Moreover, the price war of domestic power supply modules is serious, and power supply suppliers may save EMC equipment in mass production.Therefore, Lianyunda Electronics recommends that the sample should be sent and the medical power supply must be selected. This is one of the key factors for medical power supply equipment to pass EMC.2.select the isolation transformer, power filterFor large medical equipment, there are generally isolation transformers and medical filters. They have very good isolation and filtering effects on surges, EFT and CE in EMC testing, which can improve the anti-jamming performance of the equipment. Choose isolation transformers, power filters, and choose a good brand.A good power filter, even if the EMC performance of the switching power supply is not good, can at least allow the equipment to pass CE, EFT experiments, plus isolation transformers, isolation of the surge, a number of EMC testing of the product, can easily pass.3. do a good job of shielding, through REMedical Charger Large medical equipment, usually a plastic case, has no inhibitory effect on the radiation disturbance generated inside the product. Therefore, Lianyunda advises customers to spray "conductive paint" on the plastic casing. Conductive paint has a great attenuation of electromagnetic disturbance. From the experience of the second, it may be as high as 20~30db, and the worst can reach 15db or less.4. to do board-level EMC design, is the fundamentalAs a senior EMC engineer knows that board-level EMC design, component or module selection is the fundamental and the most efficient and lowest cost EMC method. PCB design, mainly pay attention to suppress signal line loop, select DC/DC switching power supply module, I/O port trace, crystal oscillator trace. If the PCB design is good, even the bare board can pass the ESD, RE, Surge, EFT test, and it is not good to increase the cost. If it is matched with the appropriate switching power supply, then there is no suspense in EMC.Please send your enquiries to usContact LYDPlease send your message to us
