'Roger Rabbit' actor Hoskins dies at 71 after battle with pneumonia
LONDON (AP) -- Bob Hoskins never lost his Cockney accent, even as he became a global star who charmed and alarmed audiences in a vast range of roles.
Short and bald, with a face he once compared to "a squashed cabbage," Hoskins was a remarkably versatile performer. As a London gangster in "The Long Good Friday," he moved from bravura bluster to tragic understatement. In "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," he cavorted with a cast of animated characters, making technological trickery seem seamless and natural.
A family statement released Wednesday said Hoskins had died in a hospital the night before, after a bout of pneumonia. He was 71 and had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2012.
Helen Mirren, who starred alongside Hoskins in "The Long Good Friday," called him "a great actor and an even greater man. Funny, loyal, instinctive, hard-working, with that inimitable energy that seemed like a spectacular firework rocket just as it takes off."
"I personally will miss him very much, London will miss one of her best and most loving sons, and Britain will miss a man to be proud of," Mirren said.
Sinn Fein leader arrested over IRA's 1972 abduction, killing woman
DUBLIN (AP) -- Police in Northern Ireland arrested Sinn Fein party leader Gerry Adams on Wednesday over his alleged involvement in the Irish Republican Army's 1972 abduction, killing and secret burial of a Belfast widow.
Adams, 65, confirmed his own arrest in a prepared statement and described it as a voluntary, prearranged interview.
Police long had been expected to question Adams about the killing of Jean McConville, a 38-year-old mother of 10 whom the IRA killed with a single gunshot to the head as an alleged spy.
According to all authoritative histories of the Sinn Fein-IRA movement, Adams served as an IRA commander for decades, but he has always denied holding any position in the outlawed group.
"I believe that the killing of Jean McConville and the secret burial of her body was wrong and a grievous injustice to her and her family," Adams said. "Well publicized, malicious allegations have been made against me. I reject these. While I have never disassociated myself from the IRA and I never will, I am innocent of any part in the abduction, killing or burial of Mrs. McConville."
China's state broadcaster says 3 dead in train station attack
BEIJING (AP) -- An explosion rocked a railway station in China's restive far-western region of Xinjiang, and the state broadcaster said three people were killed and 79 people were injured. The attack Wednesday came as President Xi Jinping wrapped up a four-day visit to the area.
CCTV said assailants attacked crowds with knives and set off explosions at the same time at the Urumqi South Station. The station called it a terrorist act.
It was unclear whether Xi was still in the region at the time of the blast, which occurred at the rail station in the regional capital of Urumqi.
Train service was suspended for about two hours before it reopened under the watch of armed police, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
A woman working at a convenience store near the train station said she heard a loud explosion shortly after 7 p.m.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin calls for review of procedures after botched execution
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin named a member of her Cabinet on Wednesday to lead a review of how the state conducts executions after a botched procedure that the White House said fell short of the humane standards required.
Fallin said Clayton Lockett, who had an apparent heart attack 43 minutes after the start of an execution in which the state was using a new drug combination for the first time, had his day in court.
"I believe the death penalty is an appropriate response and punishment to those who commit heinous crimes against their fellow men and women," Fallin said. "However, I also believe the state needs to be certain of its protocols and its procedures for executions and that they work."
Lockett convulsed violently and tried to lift his head after a doctor declared him unconscious, and prison officials halted the execution. Fallin said "an independent review of the Department of Corrections procedures would be effective and also appropriate."
The governor said the review, to be led by Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Thompson, will focus on Lockett's cause of death, noting that the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner has authorized an independent pathologist to make that determination. The review will also look at whether the department followed the current protocol correctly and will also include recommendations for future executions.
Botched Oklahoma execution offers new evidence to death penalty opponents, defense attorneys
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A bungled execution in Oklahoma provides death penalty opponents with a fresh, startling example of how lethal injections can go wrong. But the odds of successfully challenging the nation's main execution method will probably hinge on exactly what caused the apparent agony of inmate Clayton Lockett.
If the four-time convicted felon suffered because of a collapsed vein or improperly inserted IV, the legal landscape might not change much. If the drugs or the secrecy surrounding them played a role, defense attorneys for other prisoners could have powerful new evidence to press the Supreme Court to get involved, legal experts say.
A day after the execution went awry, some attorneys for death-row inmates began planning new appeals or updating existing cases based on events in Oklahoma. Many called for moratoriums and independent investigations.
"Every prison is saying, 'We have it under control, trust us,'" said Texas attorney Maurie Levin, who spent Wednesday preparing new briefs questioning that state's execution practices. "This just underscores in bold that we can't trust them, and prisons have to be accountable to the public and transparent in the method by which they carry out executions."
The 38-year-old Lockett, convicted of shooting a woman and watching as two accomplices buried her alive, was declared unconscious 10 minutes after the first of three drugs was administered Tuesday. Three minutes later, he began breathing heavily, writhing, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow. Authorities halted the execution, but Lockett died of a heart attack more than 40 minutes after the process began.
Hundreds rescued from floodwaters in Florida Panhandle, Alabama in latest blow from storms
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- People were plucked off rooftops or climbed into their attics to get away from fast-rising waters when nearly 2 feet of rain fell on the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast in the span of about 24 hours, the latest bout of severe weather that began with tornadoes in the Midwest.
In the Panhandle on Wednesday, roads were chewed up into pieces or wiped out entirely. A car and truck plummeted 25 feet when portions of a scenic highway collapsed. Cars were overturned and neighborhoods were inundated, making rescues difficult for hundreds of people who called for help when they were caught off guard by the single rainiest day ever recorded in Pensacola.
Boats and Humvees zigzagged through the flooded streets to help stranded residents. At the height of the storm, about 30,000 people were without power. One Florida woman died when she drove her car into high water, officials said.
Near the Alabama-Florida line, water started creeping into Brandi McCoon's mobile home, so her fiance, Jonathan Brown, wrapped up her nearly 2-year-old son Noah in a blanket and they swam in neck-deep water to their car about 50 feet away.
Then, the car was flooded.
Kiev leader: Security forces unable to restore order in east, some have links to insurgents
HORLIVKA, Ukraine (AP) -- Ukraine's acting president conceded Wednesday that his police and security forces were "helpless" to stifle unrest in the country's east, where pro-Russia gunmen seized more buildings, walking into the police station and mayor's office in this mining hub without resistance.
Insurgents also took control of the customs service building in Donetsk, the region's main city, and city hall in Alchevsk, an industrial center of about 110,000, adding to the scores of buildings taken by the separatists over the past month in the east, where a dozen cities are now in the hands of the separatists.
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov has twice proclaimed "anti-terrorist" operations to regain control of the east, but to little effect. In a meeting with officials from other Ukrainian regions, he acknowledged the failure and indicated the government would back off even trying to bring the most restive parts of the east to heel, focusing instead on trying to keep the unrest from spreading to other parts of the nation of 46 million.
"I will be frank: Today, security forces are unable to quickly take the situation in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions under control," Turchynov said. "The security bodies ... are unable to carry out their duties of protecting citizens. They are helpless in those matters."
"Moreover, some of those units are either helping or cooperating with terrorist organizations," he said.
Iraq votes for new parliament in an election without foreign troops
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraq voted Wednesday in its first nationwide election since U.S. troops withdrew in 2011, with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki confident of victory and even offering an olive branch to his critics by inviting them to join him in a governing coalition.
But his optimism will do little to conceal the turmoil and violence that still stalk Iraq in the eight years he has held office, with the looming threat of the country sliding deeper into sectarian bloodshed and risking a breakup.
"Our victory is certain, but we are talking about how big is that certain success," he said after voting in Baghdad.
"Here we are today, successfully holding the ... election while no foreign troops exist on Iraqi soil. I call upon all the other groups to leave the past behind and start a new phase of good brotherly relations," said al-Maliki, who faces growing criticism over government corruption and persistent bloodshed as sectarian tensions threaten to push Iraq back toward the brink of civil war.
The election was held amid a massive security operation, with hundreds of thousands of troops and police deployed across the country to protect polling centers and voters. The streets of Baghdad, a city of 7 million, looked deserted. Police and soldiers manned checkpoints roughly 500 meters (yards) apart and pickup trucks mounted with machine guns roamed the streets that were otherwise devoid of the usual traffic jams.
Reports: Abducted girls forced to marry Nigerian extremists; demands for action
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- Scores of girls and young women kidnapped from a school in Nigeria are being forced to marry their Islamic extremist abductors, a civic organization reported Wednesday.
At the same time, the Boko Haram terrorist network is negotiating over the students' fate and is demanding an unspecified ransom for their release, a Borno state community leader told The Associated Press.
He said the Wednesday night message from the abductors also claimed that two of the girls have died from snake bites.
The message was sent to a member of a presidential committee mandated last year to mediate a ceasefire with the Islamic extremists, said the civic leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak about the talks.
The news of negotiations comes as parents say the girls are being sold into marriage to Boko Haram militants. The students are being paid 2,000 naira ($12) to marry the fighters, Halite Aliyu of the Borno-Yobe People's Forum told The Associated Press. She said the parents' information about mass weddings is coming from villagers in the Sambisa Forest, on Nigeria's border with Cameroon, where Boko Haram is known to have hideouts.

The Webster dictionary defines the noun, "textual criticism" as, "the study of a literary work that aims to establish the original text." [1] This works as a starting definition, but may oversimplify the discipline if we were to stop there. NT Textual Historians Bart Ehrman and Michael Holmes describe textual criticism(also called lower criticism), for the New Testament, involves "…a complicated set of disciplines, many of them in rapid transition."[2] They go on to lay out that many sub areas of NT textual criticism involves:
…Greek manuscripts (…papyri, the majuscules, the minuscules, and the lectionaries), the early versions (Diatessaron, Syriac, Latin, Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, and Georgian), patristic citations (Greek, Latin, and Syriac), studies of scribal habits, approaches to manuscript classification, the use of computers for textual criticism, recent apparatuses and critical editions, methods for evaluating variant readings (the Majority text theory, thoroughgoing eclecticism, and reasoned eclecticism), and the use of textual data for early Christian social history…[3]
A Greek Papyrus
1000 Bible Images. Stuttgart, Germany: German Bible Society, 2009.
With all these sub areas and more that are considered to try get to what the autographs (the Greek is αὐτόγραφος, which means "written in one's own hand")[4] actually said is a complicated manner.
However, textual criticism has been going on possibly since the time of Origen (about 250 A.D.)[5] so there has been time to develop mostly coherent methods to navigate through the complexity outlined above.
Textual criticism has great value for this is the science to getting to as close as we can get to the revealed word of God (2 Tim 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21, Matthew 4:4) for us, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to translate, exegete, interpret, and apply to our lives as best as we can. Without textual criticism, we have gibberish.

The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act significantly changes the landscape for individuals and businesses, both small and large. Many provisions included in the Act take effect January 1, 2018, and will affect virtually all U.S. taxpayers. To help you understand the impact, we have compiled resources that include information for both individuals and business owners.
Lower Individual Tax Rates
The legislation creates lower individual income tax brackets of 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and lowers the top rate from 39.6% to 37%, respectively. (The current rates would be restored in 2026, i.e., 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%, respectively).
Modification of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
The legislation retains the AMT for individuals but increases the exemption amount and phaseout thresholds so fewer people will pay it. From 2018 through 2025, a higher AMT exemption will apply to income, beginning with $109,400 for joint filers and $70,300 for other taxpayers in 2018. The exemption will phase out at $1 million for joint filers and $500,000 for other taxpayers.
Increase in the Standard Deduction
The standard deduction increases significantly from $12,700 to $24,000 for joint filers, from $9,350 to $18,000 for heads of households, and from $6,350 to $12,000 for singles. Since you can claim… Click Here to Continue Reading All of the Individual Provisions.

Income Attributable to Domestic Production Activities Deductions (DPAD)
DPAD is repealed and no longer available. The repeal may have a great impact on manufacturing companies that previously enjoyed significant DPAD credits.
Entertainment Expense Deductions
No deduction is allowed generally for entertainment, amusement, or recreation; membership dues for a club organized for business, pleasure, recreation, or other social… Click Here to Continue Reading All of the Business Provisions.

|Heat moves from hot to cold
(image courtesy of ces.fau.edu)
Heat exchangers facilitate this phenomena with tube bundles and vessels which separates the hot medium from the cold. Heat penetrates the surface of the tubes and is transferred to the contents of the vessel, thereby heating or cooling fluids or gases in the vessel or in the tubes.
Heat transfer from one media to another, or from one fluid to another, is determined by several basic rules.
- Heat will always be transferred from a hot to a cold.
- A temperature difference between the process media must always exist.
- The heat lost by the hot process is equal to the amount of heat gained by the cold process, less any losses to the atmosphere.
- Direct heat exchangers, where both process media are in direct contact with each other, without the process media being mixed together, such as with air and water. A cooling tower is a good example of this type of heat exchanger.
- Indirect heat exchangers, where each process media are separated by a physical barrier (pipe, tube, or vessel) through which heat must be transferred.
|Heat transfer types
(image courtesy of ces.fau.edu)
- Radiation – heat is transferred by electromagnetic waves. An example is how your toaster works - the heat is transferred from those orange-red wires to the bread via radiation.
- Conduction – heat is transferred through touching or contact of solids or fluids. An example is an electric stove-top element that heats up a pot resting directly on top of it.
- Convection – heat is transferred by mixing one process media with another. An example is your home furnace where air is heated by circulating through hot tubes.

If there is a candy necklace for pigeons, this is definitely it.
Speculation says that the pigeon in this video, filmed in Yekaterinburg, Russia, ate through the middle of a slice of bread such that it ended up around the birds neck. We think this pigeon knows a good look when it sees one.

While Chelsea and I had been inseparable since the sixth grade, senior year proved to be too much for our friendship.
It all started when Chelsea befriended a girl who I absolutely hated— my sworn enemy from the 2nd grade. Before I even knew what was happening, Chelsea was hanging out with a whole new group of people—a group that didn't include me.
We were still friends, but we didn't hang out nearly as often we used to. She made no effort to include me in her new circle of friends—I felt extremely rejected and excluded. I can't blame her completely; she didn't realize what she was doing, and I never spoke up.
More From Seventeen
In just a few months, she morphed from my best friend to a girl who I barely even knew. I tried so hard to hold on to the friendship, but eventually, I just grew tired of fighting for something that wasn't there anymore. I knew it was time to cut her out of my life.
Once I stopped putting in the effort, the friendship faded away. I haven't spoken to her in four years now. Of course I miss her at times, but I mostly just miss the closeness that we used to have. I know that even if we tried to become friends again now, it would never be the same as it was.
What about you, CG!s? Have you ever had to let go of a close friend?

Camping for beginners
If you don't have any experience with campings, here is a brief introduction to what you need to have.
Get a tent
You can buy a cheap tent in a sport shop, i.e. Decathlon or Intersport - it costs between 20-30 euro. Setting up a tent will take you some 10 min. If you don't know how to do it - people around will help you. You could also get a Kartent (Cardboard tent) from tickets.sha2017.org which will be ready for you to pick up on day 0!
Sleeping bag
You will also need a sleeping bag with a mattress. They can be found in a sport shop as well. When choosing a sleeping bag, pay attention on the temperature for which it is designed. In summer time you don't need an extra warm one.
Warm clothes
Even in summer time it might be pretty cold at night. We strongly recommend you to have some warm clothes (e.g. pullover). It's better to have it than not to have. Also, it might be rainy, so it's better to have another pair of boots - they are getting wet quickly in the grass.
In case if you get sick during the event (bad food, headache etc.), it's better to have a basic medication kit. Of course, you can always receive professional help if needed.
Water bottle
It's very important to drink enough water, especially when it's hot. On the camping site there will be water points where you can refill your bottles.
Other accessories
There are some other camping accessories that can make your life easier:
- flashlight
- folding chairs
- knife
This is a checklist that you can copy and print out, it contains all the necessary things that you would need to survive 5 days at the campsite. Note that this list is really minimalistic and designed for people who are camping for the first time, or have never set up camp before. Kartent provides a tent + sleeping gear, but not the rest.
- Transportation to/from the car, choose one:
- Bolderkar
- Foldable crates (3 to 4 in case you don't have a bolderkar)
- Backpack (for minimalists)
- Sleeping quarters
- Ground tarp (3m by 3m plastic canvas, usually in blue or green) (not necessary, but it helps keep the bottom of the tent clean, also helps in water insulation)
- Tent (depending on how many people you like in your bed, usually a 2-person tent is enough for you + backpack).
- Dust pan/brush (you want to get dirt out, not in)
- Rubber hammer (to hammer the stakes in the ground)
- Welcome mat (or something to put your dirty shoes on)
- Optional: Extra stakes & rope (usually included with your tent)
- Bedding
- Sleeping bag (a summer-model!)
- A fitted sheet for over your air-mattrass (not mandatory but nice)
- Air mattrass (you don't want to sleep on the ground)
- Air pump (please, don't get a cheap foot pump, it will haunt you)
- Pillow
- Personal
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Shampoo
- Feminine products (if you are of the femine persuasion)
- Medications
- Razor
- Towels (one beach towel)
- Deodorant
- Shower shoes/flip flops
- Comb/Brush

- Water bucket (for storing clean water)

We're beyond satire.
Miyazaki's Banality of Evil?
I'm going to be in the minority and say that The Wind Rises is a shame. It's a shame that this will be Hayao Miyazaki's final film. Perhaps there is more here than one can appreciate in one viewing. I'm not certain, but it feels like a disjointed experience.
The main character is a weapon designer, helping the empire of Japan enter the industrial murder age, just prior to World War Two. This is not a problem for him in the slightest. He just wants to design the best airplanes, despite what they are used for, such as bombing China or wherever. There is a complete disconnect, and World War Two itself is presented only in detached dream settings. It is simply a byproduct of the art of airplane design. The world may go up in flames elsewhere, but the planes are beautiful. It is this…

Factors To Consider When Purchasing Security Cameras
The safety of people, as well as resources and cash, is critical. Security and surveillance accessories and their deployment are gaining traction as a result of increased dangers. National boundaries and crucial military applications are no longer the only places where security and surveillance are used. It is increasingly being applied in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings to enhance security. CCTV cameras and accompanying equipment are available in various models and configurations on the market. As a result, the sort of camera you need is determined by your application requirements. For example, cameras used in defense and other mission-critical applications may be high-end and provide higher clarity even at night. They may also make infrared imaging easier. Many criteria, however, may not be necessary for a residential setting. As a result, the price would differ. The following are some of the factors to consider when purchasing security cameras.
First and foremost, consider the security cameras durability since you want the ones that can serve you for the longest time. Always keep the camera locations in mind. Most security cameras are required to monitor the porch, doors, or parking space from the outside. This implies they'll be exposed to the elements all of the time. Don't buy a camera that can't withstand a lot of rain or wind! They'll shatter, and you might not be able to save the footage the device has already recorded. Always look into security camera manufacturers and product reviews. Look for a camera that can withstand the effects of the elements. For this reason, choose the cameras from a reputable manufacturer if you need the best ones for your services.
Secondly, consider your budget when looking for the best security cameras to purchase for your services. Begin by comparing camera prices and deciding which ones give the features you desire at a price that is within your budget. Expect the more expensive cameras to have the greatest quality, smart connectivity, and more functions. Traditional, cable CCTV will be the most cost-effective, but its barebones capabilities may be problematic. Therefore, make sure you choose the ones that you can comfortable pay for if you need the best ones in the market. Ensure the amount of money you will pay for matches the quality of the cameras.
Also, consider the video resolution of the cameras when looking for the best ones to install for your security services. What good is a security camera if you can't distinguish faces because the recording is blurry? The highest expensive resolution you can go for is 4K UHD. Surveillance cameras that record in 1080p or 720p are still an option. Anything below those guidelines is too hazy. It's also crucial to record in color. If you're on a low budget or want to record video 24 hours a day, you might want to explore cameras that capture film in black and white. Remember, the higher the resolution, the larger the file size! This is why, in order to save space, some people purchase cameras with 4K capture but disable motion sensors. Below, we'll go over motion sensors and storage alternative

Having a little breather for a couple of hours before we carry on with Jaygo's birthday weekend. We started on Friday night with a game of rounders on the stray that we were invited to. This was really good fun for everyone. Rounders, BBQ, cake and catching up. This photo shows the line up – little to big selection process. We had a few spare kids with us as Jaygo was having a sleep over. J & H and their brood were there also as well as a whole bunch of lovely others.
I was looking forward to the morning of his birthday (yesterday) nearly as much as he was. We'd put the feelers out for an electric guitar and amp. My old friend McParty was selling a Marshall amp, meanwhile a guitar came our way and the serendipity of it all couldn't have been better. He's been having guitar lessons at school now for a while and he's just at that age when he's really discovering music – he particularly likes ROCK. Here's a picture of him doing the birthday dance.We had a lovely day of pottering about, playing guitar! the evening rolled into a rather impromptu BBQ – we'd planned on having a couple of people over and it expanded a little to be somewhere between a gathering and a party. Some old friends that we've not caught up with for years. Some splendid attendees and some nice bbq chow which merged into a chilled choons, fire bin and wine type night.
Lots more batting to come in this B'Day weekend – we're off to Lightwater Valley today and we're supposed to be going to another BBQ this evening! A BBQ hat-trick no less. A few more photos of the weekend can be found in this flickr set here (which I'll add to with any photos I take today)

We are going to keep things VERY simple this week. I've been preoccupied with recipe development and writing additional articles for the blog (will be posting soon!) and all the while my son climbs on me like a set of monkey bars.
I tell ya, this kid will try to climb on anything and everything. I think we have a future cliff hanger on our hands. So…. back on subject, instead of doing an original recipe, I am actually testing out a recipe by Karen Falbo.
It is her Chorizo Kale Frittata with Kalamata Olives. I will post the recipe as written but as always, I will talk about ingredients and inject some personal opinions.
Frittatas, what can I say about you? A frittata is basically an open face omelet or a shell-less quiche. One of the reasons I like frittatas and omelets is that it is a great way to clear out the fridge.
You can use left overs, add a few eggs… BOOM! Frittata. That being said, feel free to sub any ingredients you see fit. I do recommend following the recipe because it is delicious.
This one-skillet easy Chorizo Kale Frittata will be a perfect meal for those with time constraints. Instead of a skillet, you can use individual ramekins to make individual portions. Let's get this Chorizo Kale Frittata on the stove.
***Substitution notes in the section below
Let's talk ingredients. First on the list is Mulay's Chorizo Sausage. This stuff is the real deal. I can't rage about this more. It tastes fantastic. It is lean and the ingredients have no fluff.
Meaning no corn syrup, no soy protein isolate, MSG or any of that BS. You can find Mulay's at Natural Grocers I am lucky to have one right around the corner from me. Second is Kasandrinos EVOO. Another product that I highly recommend. It is the BEST EVOO you can get on the market, and it's Certified Paleo.
***Here are the notes: I have on the ingredients for the Chorizo Kale Frittata. If you cannot find cremini mushrooms at your local grocer or if you are in a food desert, feel free to sub with any mushrooms.
Baby bellas are a great sub. As for baby kale, I couldn't find baby kale in any of the stores around me, so I went with a bundle of Russian Red Kale but spinach will work just fine. I like to gently massage the kale before cooking.
The logic is it breaks apart the tough cellulose and help with its texture. If you cannot find herbes de Provence, you can use thyme instead. As for the kalamata olives, you can omit it if you are not a fan of olives. I, on the other hand, might have added more because I love olives. Now, let's talk cooking for the Chorizo Kale Frittata.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 Casserole Dish for the Chorizo Kale Frittata. Instead of a casserole dish, I prefer to use a cast iron skillet. As a food blogger, I was a lot of dishes.
If I can save myself from having to wash additional dishes, I'm doing it. In your cast iron skillet, over medium heat, brown the chorizo sausage and set it aside in a large mixing bowl.
Before you decide to pour out the red oil from the chorizo, DON'T! There is a ton of flavor in it, so keep that in the skillet. Add additional olive oil if needed, add onion and mushroom and cook until translucent.
Add in garlic, ¼ Tsp herbs de Provence and salt. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Dump the kale into the skillet and cover. Turn off the burner and allow to sit until the kale is wilted. In the large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, chorizo sausage, remaining of both herbs de Provence and salt, the remaining EVOO, as well as the vegetables from the skillet.
Pour everything right back into the cast iron skillet. Top with sliced kalamata olives and the tomato slices. Pop the Chorizo Kale Frittata into the oven for 45-50 minutes until it is no longer runny.
I like to turn on the broiler for the last 5 minutes. That is it! The Chorizo Kale Frittata is just that simple. Again, feel free to add or subtract to make it your own. Until next time, eat up my friends!
Merriam Webster defines food as "something that nourishes, sustains or supplies." That can describe so many things. So many things in life "nourish, sustain and supply" us. In my case, it's actual food. Food is more than just mere calories and energy for our bodies. Food is love, food is life, food is happiness. Food, good food, is created in love and gives love.

Piloleiomyoma is an uncommon benign smooth muscle neoplasm arising from arrector pili muscle. It is clinically defined by the presence of solitary or multiple reddish brown, dome-shaped, smooth papules or nodules, ranging in size from a few millimeters to a centimeter. The patients are otherwise healthy; but mental retardation developing in some patients with multiple Piloleiomyomas has been emerging as an intriguing matter for analysis by the scientists. In this case report, a mentally retarded patient with Piloleiomyoma is described, who, besides the characteristic smooth and dome-shaped lesions on the anterolateral aspect of the dorsum of the right foot, had developed crusting on one of the largest lesions. The histopathological features were consistent with Piloleiomyoma. The occurrence of Piloleiomyoma in a mentally retarded child and its unusual crusted nature has been rarely reported. The association between Piloleiomyoma and mental retardation is further stressed in this case report.
Keywords: Crusting, mental retardation, piloleiomyoma

Presidents' Day?
This President's Day ought to be a day, not of celebration, but of mourning in the U.S.A. The Presidency, if not the President, is dead! In its place is the pending monarchy.
"Long live the King!"
May be the chant that is looming ahead. Donald Trump is already assuming the role. Consider the billion or so dollars he has taken from the military budget for his fence. American soldiers, not Mexico, are paying for Trump's wall: soldiers he promised to look after. They are paying with money their "King" has stolen from funds budgeted by Congress: the oversight-keeper of the American budget.
But, this, of course is not the only way he has, by his actions, demonstrated his kingly powers. He also, by virtue of his behavior, in defying Congressional subpoenas, told them he, not they, will interpret the American Constitution.
America is on its way, not just to becoming a monarchy, as much as a dictatorship.
Consider AG Barr's recent conduct. Is he becoming Trump's Roland Freisler! Don't kid yourself. It could happen. Trump, a chronic and compulsive liar, is an egotist without scruples, and certainly lacking in concern for others. Seems to me, in view of his comments about the faith of Nancy Pelosi and Senator Mitt Romney, the most Trump could claim about his faith is his belief in the "Divine Right of Kings"!

Iris Grace Halmshaw is a 5-year-old girl from Britain with autism. Due to her autism, she doesn't speak very much but she began expressing herself at the age of 3 through painting. She is now known worldwide for her soft monet style artwork.
Like many individuals with autism Iris experienced high levels of anxiety especially in social situations. With a little bit of research, her mother began to consider an animal companion to help her. At first, they considered horseback riding, but Iris was not fond of horses. Then came a dog, however; the licking and hyper activeness of a dog bothered her. That is when an online fan suggested a Main Coon cat. Thula is a gentle and intelligent Main Coon cat that has become Iris's companion.
Thula helps calm Iris's daily anxieties and assists in her daily activities including walking out side, biking, and going on boat rides. Iris and Thula enjoy their time outside which has inspired many of Iris's beautiful paintings. Thula the Main Coon has not only been a companion, but a life changing experience for Iris and her family.

Change image when hovering over box image
navigos posted a topic in DMS & Legacy ProductsI was reading this forum and I noticed that the same solution might apply to my customization with different syntax: http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/26630-text-color-change-when-hovering-over/ I want to have my boxes [section, part of the core framework] images (or media as you call it) change when you hover over them with another image. For example if the image is a simple b&w lightbulb then when you hover over it it would look like a yellow lightbulb (because there is an image of a yellow lightbulb saved on my website that I can call). So what I need is a class that calls this other image when the mouse hovers over the original image saved as. Also there is a field in the box set-up options that is called "Boxes Custom Class" so I am assuming I would simply place the code in that text box. Oh, and I need to make sure that the image hyperlink ("Box Link (Optional)" field) still works. Any ideas, inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Harvested from the gardens at Monticello.
The 'gerki'n, which bears many small, cucumber-like fruits covered in blunt spines, was a common crop in the Monticello vegetable garden. Thomas Jefferson recommended it to his brother, Randolph, in 1813: "the season being over for planting everything but the Gerkin. It is that by which we distinguish the very small pickling cucumber". This was likely the West Indian Gherkin (Cucumis anguria), a native of Africa brought to the Caribbean through the slave trade, then reputedly introduced from Jamaica in 1792 by Richmond seed merchant Minton Collins. Jefferson-documented: This plant was documented by Thomas Jefferson in his Garden Book, Notes on the State of Virginia, or other writings.
Direct sow West Indian Gherkin seeds in hills or rows after the last spring frost; for hills, sow 6-8 seeds per 12"-wide hill, then thin to the best 3 plants per hill. The long, vigorous vines benefit from a support structure. Harvest when 1"-2" around for eating fresh, cooking or pickling. Approximately 25 seeds per packet.

Fp OPENERS
When members of the Northern Alliance received letters from the London Police Service accusing them of belonging to an organization that holds "extreme right wing beliefs" and requiring them to report to London Police Headquarters, they came to Freedom Party for advice. The resulting firestorm in the media gave rise to the discovery that Canadian municipal police forces are in the process of rounding up citizens on the basis of requiring them to justify their beliefs.
Read the original letter from London Police Detective Superintendent David R. Lucio that started the controversy.
Freedom Party fielded 14 candidates in its fifth general election campaign. The results and newspaper coverage are below.
Almost nine years(!) after the original London Free Press November 8, 1989 newspaper article that got London landlord Elijah Elieff into trouble with Ontario's Human Rights Commission, a lawsuit has been filed against those he holds responsible for the loss of his (former) Cheyenne Ave apartment buildings and another unrelated business. (More details at www.freedomparty.org/xcheyenne.htm.)
Over 200 delegates from countries all over the world came to the University of Western Ontario to celebrate the International Society for Individual Liberty's (ISIL) 20th Anniversary and 19th World Libertarian Conference.
Needless to say, there's a backlog of mail to Feedback that the limited room left in this already over-sized newsletter cannot possibly accommodate. Nevertheless, here's our attempt at a start on this monumental project. Watch for plenty more feedback in our next issue, along with a special section dedicated to your responses to our Member's Draft Official Platform.
The following selection of letters and e-mail correspondence represents a broad sampling of correspondence received by Freedom Party since our last issue of Freedom Flyer. While many of these letters have already been personally responded to, others have not. Editorial responses , as they appear here, may be entirely new and/or edited versions of our original personal responses. To the greatest degree possible, original letters to Feedback are left unedited, though there are exceptions with regard to length, structure and grammar (the latter applying particularly to e-mail and Usenet (news groups) correspondence).
As always, we'd like to hear from you. Your comments, criticisms, suggestions, and occasional compliments are always welcomed. Visit our Feedback Page for details on how to contact us.

Romania's government called an emergency meeting late Sunday to discuss violent protests that show no sign of abating after demonstrators angry about austerity measures hurled stones and firebombs at police.
At least six people were injured. More than 1,000 protesters clashed with police, who used tear gas and flares to repel demonstrators who blocked a main road in Bucharest.
One man was briefly set ablaze during the chaos. Interior Minister Traian Igas called an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis.
The protests, in their fourth day, are the most serious since President Traian Basescu came to power in 2004. They are the result of frustration against public wage cuts, slashed benefits, higher taxes, cronyism in state institutions and widespread corruption.
Protesters yelled "The Mafioso government stole everything we had!" and "Get out you miserable dog!"—a popular expression of contempt used to refer to Basescu.
Protesters roamed through the center of the capital, and Mayor Sorin Oprescu called on them to refrain from acts of violence.
"We are here to protest, we cannot face it any more, we have no money to survive, our pensions are so small, the expenses are more than we can afford. It's no way to live," said a protester who would only identify himself as Sorin.
Protests began Thursday in support of a health official who resigned because he opposed government health care reforms.
Basescu withdrew the health care bill Friday, but protests continued. Anger has mainly been directed against the once-popular Romanian president. Basescu, 60, vowed to be a hands-on president when he came to power in 2004.
He regularly gave interviews in supermarkets, was filmed dancing with his wife in restaurants and enjoyed a reputation as a man of the people.
The former ship captain, who is staunchly pro-American, has always relished a political fight. He was suspended by Parliament in 2007, but reinstated after a national referendum.
He narrowly defeated former Foreign Minister Mircea Geoana in the 2009 presidential runoff to be re-elected for a five-year mandate, which ends in 2014.
But Romanians have become disenchanted with the president, particularly with the economy in a downturn. Critics say he is too outspoken and has grown increasingly argumentative, which is inappropriate for his office.
In recent months, he has publicly expressed dislike for journalists, former King Michael and the highly respected public health official Raed Arafat, whose resignation prompted the protests which started on Thursday.
On Sunday, hundreds of people of all ages noisily protested in Bucharest's University Square, a day after demonstrators clashed with police there.
They shouted "Down with Basescu!", calling for early elections and held caricatures of the powerful Tourism Minister Elena Udrea, a close aide of Basescu and Basescu's daughter, Elena Basescu, who is a lawmaker in the European Parliament.
Hundreds rallied in the cities of Iasi, Cluj, Deva and Galati.
On Saturday, more than 3,000 protested in cities outside Bucharest, police said. Prime Minister Emil Boc said the government together with coalition partners would draw up a new health care bill Monday consulting politicians and civil groups.
He spoke after visiting a police officer who was hospitalized after he was hit by a stone in the head in Saturday's protest. "The solution is dialogue, not throwing bricks left and right which can endanger lives," Boc said.
Nine people received medical treatment in Saturday's protest. Basescu has also not commented on the protests.
He told Romanians to be proud of their history Sunday in a message sent to mark the birthday of Romania's national poet Mihai Eminescu.

Do not be afraid to approach companies that are not hiring, maybe you have a skill set they want but hadn't really thought about it or got around to placing that ad. They may have already advertised and had a poor response, you just didn't see the original ad. Many positions are never publicly posted, employers don't want to be bombarded with a lot of unqualified candidates that they have to weed through to find the jewels.
It doesn't matter if you 20 or 50 that resume needs to be up to date, give concrete examples of how your abilities boosted a former employer's bottom line. Be brief but concise, ask yourself why would XYZ employer want to employee ME. Now answer that question in your resume.
Companies are looking for employees who can improve their bottom line. Finding out what problems a company may have and then positioning yourself as a solution to that problem is a really important way to set yourself apart from a person who comes to the interview and just answers questions. Do the research it doesn't matter what the job opportunity, research the company.
Finally, if your out of work perhaps for the first time in you adult life or looking for your first job, do not be ashamed of this situation, network yourself, the way you are going to find your next opportunity is through a network of people who know what you can do. Networking isn't about who you know, it's about who your friends know.

During this process there are a number of questions families can ask to establish which program is best suited for their needs. Here are some points to consider when choosing a quality child care program.
1. Health & Safety
Our primary concern is always about our children's well-being and safety. Every child should have the opportunity to develop a sense of self, health, and well-being. Does the program:
- Provide nutritious food that incorporates family and cultural preferences?
- Believe in increasing the amount of time children engage in physical activity?
- Are chemicals, hazardous materials, and dangerous equipment kept out of reach of children?
- How would staff react in a situation that requires first aid?
If you do not feel that your child will be safe in the program, this can be an indicator that you should continue your search and a find a caregiver that meets your expectations.
2. Staff
The best educators use a warm, responsive, and inclusive approach. Knowledgeable educators play with children to support development, challenge children, and extend their learning.
- Are all educators Registered Early Childhood Educators?
- Are staff engaged in regular professional education and mentoring?
- Is the program part of a quality initiative such as Raising the Bar in Peel?
- What is the ratio of children to staff
Educators should work towards developing a relationship with families and caregivers by, learning about, with and from one another.
3. Program Philosophy
In your search you will come across many different approaches to learning. However, it is important for you to decide what the best fit is for your child.
- Ask staff what instructional methods or curriculum are in place, such as play-based learning, or Montessori, and how it fits with research and best practices.
- What behavior guidance strategies are in place to support children?
- Does the program address your child's abilities, needs, and interests?
- Do they have access to innovative and unique learning materials and technology available in the classroom?
4. Cost
Often times the cost of a program can be a factor in your decision.
- Clarify what the cost of the program is before registering your child.
- Ask about other costs not included in the weekly fee (e.g. trips and transportation).
- What subsidies and financial assistance are accepted or available?
- Are receipts available for income tax purposes?
- Is there as fee for late pick up at the end of the day?
There are so many elements at play when trying to choose a quality child care program. The process of finding something that works for you and your child can often times be very stressful. CDRCP can help you find what you are looking for.

DNAs (did not attends) account for over 15 million general practice appointments each year in England.
NHS England recently reported that out of 307 million sessions scheduled with GPs, nurses, therapists and other practice staff every year, 5 per cent are missed without sufficient notice. That works out at around 15.4 million missed slots.
Around 7.2 million of these are with GPs, which adds up to more than 1.2 million GP hours wasted each year – or the equivalent of over 600 GPs working full time for a year.
NHS England estimates that each appointment costs an average of £30, putting the total cost to the NHS of DNAs at more than £216m.
Commenting on the findings, Dr Richard Vautrey, BMA GP committee chair, said: "Every appointment at a GP practice is precious, especially at a time when GP services are struggling to cope with rising patient demand, staff shortages and inadequate budgets.
"With an ageing population, many patients are needing more appointments and more time with their doctor. In this environment, it is really important for patients to do all they can to make the most of appointments provided to them and to inform their local practice if they cannot attend a previously booked consultation.
"Practices will try many ways to address this problem, but ultimately patients do need to play their part. With the NHS finances under historic strain, it's vital that don't waste the resources we currently have."

cutting tool[′kəd·iŋ 'tül]
Cutting Tool
(cutter), a cutting device used in machining workpieces on regular, turret, and vertical lathes, boring and slotting machines, planers, gear-shaping machines, and special machine tools. It consists of a shank comprising a head with the cutting element and a holder that secures the cutter to the machine tool.

|Flat with bevel
|Cutting tools of all types for working steel: t = 0.2-0.3 mm for finishing, t = 0.8-1.0 mm for roughing; γ = 0° for cutting tools made from high speed steel, γ = -5° to -10° for cutting tools made from hard alloys

|Rough sharpening of steel with large chips and feed > 1.5 mm/revolution; γɸ = -10° to -15°
Cutting tools are classified according to the shape of the head as straight, bent, cranked, and round-nosed cutters and according to the cross section of the holder as rectangular, square, and round. Cutting-tool designs may feature a head or cutting blade that is welded on, a blade that is soldered on, a head that is guided by a slide or produced in the form of an insert, or a blade that is mechanically fixed. Various types of cutting tools are distinguished according to the intended purpose, including straightway, facing, cut-off and grooving, boring, thread-cutting, radiusing, and shaping cutters. Depending on the machining process, cutting tools may also be classified as roughing, finishing, fine turning, and smoothing. A distinction is made between right-hand and left-hand cutters according to the feed direction. Among the materials used for the cutting element are tool steel, including high-speed steel, hard alloys, mineral and ceramic materials, synthetic diamonds, and Elbor (a synthetic corundumlike material).
The shape chosen for the top surface (seeGEOMETRY OF A CUTTING TOOL) depends on the material used for the cutting element, the material being worked, the method used to produce the billet, and the type of machining (see Figure 1). The geometric parameters of the cutting element affect the primary factors of the cutting process, including the friction between the cutter and the billet material, the shape of the chip and the direction in which it is removed, deformation of the surface layer, the strength of the cutter, cutting forces, the rate and degree of cutter wear, and the roughness of the surface being worked.
Optimum parameters for the geometry of the cutting element have been established experimentally. They depend on the actual machining conditions, such as the material being worked; the cutting mode; the type of cutter; the rigidity of the system comprising the lathe, attachment, tool, and workpiece; the type of machining; and the method used to produce the workpiece billet. The optimum parameters (see Figures 2, 3) are γ = - 10° to 25°, α = 6° to 12°, ɸ = 10° to 90°, ɸ1, = 0° to 20°, and λ = -4° to 15°.
When workpieces are machined using a cutting tool with an enlarged nose radius r, the surface roughness is reduced, but the forces pressing the cutter away from the workpiece are increased; the cutting tool exhibits increased deflections, and there is more vibration. Therefore, the value of r is maintained
at 1 mm. In order to simplify the sharpening of hard-alloy cutters, a cutter with a transitional cutting edge 1-2 mm long with ɸ0 = ɸ/2 is used instead of one with a rounded nose. For cutters with mineral and ceramic blades, the following values are recommended: γ = –5° to - 10°, α = 8° to 10° and ɸ = 75° to 90° for soft workpieces and ɸ = 10° to 30° for hard workpieces.
Machining is the most labor-consuming process in production, and its efficiency depends significantly on the properties of the tool material, the design of the cutter, and the geometry of the cutting elements. The problem of efficiency is of fundamental concern in the working of new materials that are difficult to machine and it is a prime factor in the growing demands for precision in manufacture and surface quality, for provision of size-presetting capabilities, and for rapid tool-replacement capabilities without the need for further adjustment. The All-Union Scientific Research Insititute of Hard Alloys (VNIITS) has developed the following alloys for cutting tools: the especially fine-grained hard alloys VK6-OM, VK10-OM, and VK15-OM for machining stainless and heat-resistant steels and alloys; the hard alloy TT8K16 for the high-speed finishing and semifinishing of alloy, inoculated, and malleable cast iron; and the hard alloy TT20K9 for intermittent work using percussion techniques. Multifaceted, throwaway, hard-alloy blades are now being used that feature a wear-resistant titanium carbide coating; the coating is applied in a thin layer up to 5 microns thick by precipitation from the gaseous phase. The All-Union Scientific Research Tool Institute (VNII) has developed a series of cutter designs using multifaceted cutter inserts and chip breakers. Cutters with mechanically secured blades and those with inserts made of composite materials and polycrystalline diamonds are also widely used. (SeeMETALCUTTING MACHINE TOOL and WOODCUTTING TOOL.)
