One man described how he was thrown up in the air and slammed down on the ground. A woman told how her husband's femur bone shot up into his hip, requiring surgery and resulting in his subsequent unemployment and endless medical bills. And a professor recalled how her neighbor and fellow worker at Montclair State University was struck and killed this summer.
Those were just some of the harrowing stories that residents related about pedestrian accidents on Grove Street at Tuesday night's Township Council conference meeting, which lasted almost four hours. A packed audience, more than 50 people and standing room only in a small second-floor conference room, came to offer their input on a proposal to reduce Grove Street's speed limit to 30 mph from 35 mph.
The majority of the roughly two dozen residents who addressed the council wanted the limit lowered. They also offered suggestions such as more lighting along the county thoroughfare, a police crackdown on speeders, installation of flashing-lights at every intersection along Grove, and posting of no-passing signs along the roadway to stop vehicles that dart around cars that have stopped at crosswalks for pedestrians.
Mayor Robert Jackson and council members agreed that a "holistic" approach is needed to address pedestrian-safety issues on Grove Street, that there is not just one solution, and they will be considering a resolution to reduce the speed limit.
"It's all great stuff that came out tonight," Jackson said. "Personally I would support lowering the speed limit on Grove."
The mayor added that that additional police officers are going to be hired and assigned to the traffic bureau.
The parade of residents described their fears — three used the word "terrifying" — about Grove Street, relating how they had either been struck by vehicles there or had close calls when they or their children were almost hit by cars. The intersection of Grove and Oxford streets was cited as one of the most dangerous along the stretch of road, and it is where two people at the meeting sustained severe injuries in accidents.
Commuter David Peebler, an Oxford Street resident, said that last December he was walking home from the Walnut Street train station and crossing Grove Street when he was hit by a man driving a landscaping truck — despite the fact that the blinking light at the intersection was on.
"I went up in the air and I slammed down to the ground and I snapped my wrist. I ripped … the entire muscle here just opened up like a book," Peebler said, pointing to his leg. "And I was in bed for 40 days and 40 nights, proverbially so. Forty-three days before I went to work. So I'm here from experience."
Peebler, and others, told the council that the Oxford-Grove intersection needs a stoplight. He also had a series of photos showing a variety of vehicles, including a UPS truck, parked on Grove near its intersection with Oxford, and blocking the view for drivers.
Amy Revell of Glen Ridge spoke on behalf of her husband Robert Revell, who also attended the meeting and was using a cane. He was also hit at the Grove and Oxford intersection and was sent to St. Joseph's Medical Center.
"He was in traction because he had been hit on his left side, landed on his right side," Revell told the council. "His femur had gone up and shot up into his hip and pelvic area and shattered the whole hip-pelvic area."
Surgeons took eight hours to reconstruct his hip, Revell said, adding that he was in the hospital for a week and then at a rehab facility. The accident happened five months ago, but Robert Revell is still going to physical therapy and three times a week and has not been able to work.
"We have no income whatsoever," Amy Revell said. "We're living off his 401K at the moment, for the last five months … The hospital bills are in the hundreds of thousands."
Erin Krupa, an MSU professor, told the council in a slightly choked voice that she had been a neighbor of Mary DeFilippis, who also worked at the college and sustained fatal injuries June 7 while crossing Grove Street at its intersection with Chester Road.
"I'm also a new mom," Krupa said, adding that she was almost struck when she went for a walk with her newborn and they crossed Grove Street.
"Six days of new life flashed before my eyes," she said.
Debra Caplan was among those who said that the township police department isn't enforcing the 35 mph limit on Grove, and added that she was in favor of lowering that limit to 30 mph.
"I think what we're talking about fundamentally is saving lives, and I think that has to be the central thing that we consider here," Caplan said. "And we know that even a 1-mile-per-hour reduction in speed when there's a crash has a really huge impact on how likely the person is to survive. So the difference between 35 and 30 could actually be the difference between someone living or dying in a crash situation."
Alex Kent, the chair of the Montclair Pedestrian Safety Committee, also addressed the council and urged it to pass a resolution reducing Grove's speed limit. She pointed to a study that found that in the first half of the year 21 pedestrians were involved in vehicular accidents in Montclair when they were struck and had to go to the hospital, and that four of them took place on Grove Street, including the DeFilippis fatality.
Some dissenters at the meeting argued that lowering the speed limit on Grove Street was not the answer to making the street safer.
Pat Kenschaft, for example, said that 35 mph is "a very reasonable speed" to travel on Grove. And her husband, Fred Chichester, said it will be "a struggle" to convince Essex County to sign off on lowering the limit to 30 mph. He said adequate lighting is needed on Grove, as well as education for drivers and commuters, who shouldn't risk crossing in front of a bus at night or cross in the middle of the street rather than use a crosswalk.
Councilman-at-Large Rich McMahon raised questions about whether the proposed resolution solved the issues on Grove. He said that about a dozen of the residents who spoke at the meeting were citing problems when vehicles passed other cars stopped on Grove to let pedestrians cross, endangering those pedestrians.
"The speed limit is not the problem," McMahon said. "It's the people going around on the right of a pedestrian. So it's pedestrian-crossing issue, not a speed issue."
After the public comments on the issue, Jackson said, "I believe at our next meeting there will be a resolution to send to the county to lower the speed limit to 30 mph. The council people will vote as they see fit."

I think the bet I made with my husband is a scrap. I def. will lose which is fine because I won't have to pay him. It was only an incentive if I won… I would have gotten $1,000. I needed to go to the gym 175 times in 2017. I've only got 55 times so far.
Actually I just calculated… there are 171 days left in the year and I need to go 120 days… around 5/week. I need to get back to working out anyway.
Will start Monday!

Tips for Avoiding Michigan Pedestrian Accidents & Injuries
Pedestrian fatalities in Michigan increased 15% from 148 in 2014 to 170 in 2015. In addition, serious injuries for pedestrians increased 8% from 381 to 412. Overall, 2,482 pedestrians were involved in a traffic-related accident in 2015.
To help pedestrians be safe, Mike Morse Law Firm has compiled a list of helpful tips to avoid pedestrian accidents and injury:
Know Where to Cross
- Intersections with pedestrian crossing signals provide the safest opportunity for crossing. Pedestrians are always more visible to traffic in designated crosswalks.
- Mid-block crossings usually have special pavement markings, signs, and/or pedestrian signals to alert motorists to be aware of pedestrian traffic.
Pedestrian Crosswalk Signals
- Push the button to alert the traffic signal that you are waiting to cross.
- Wait your turn to cross. Both vehicles and pedestrians must wait their turn to cross.
- Once the crosswalk signal indicates it is your turn to cross, check to be sure vehicles have stopped. Only then you may safely cross the road. Stay within the crosswalk and move along steadily. Most crossing signals provide a countdown timer to show how much time is remaining for the crossing signal.
Additional Michigan Pedestrian Safety Tips
- Avoid roads and interstates where pedestrians are restricted or prohibited.
- Walk on the sidewalk or path when one is available.
- If no sidewalk of path is available, walk on the shoulder of the road, facing traffic.
- Stay alert. Don't be distracted by electronic devices or other items that take your attention away from the road.
- Never assume a driver can see you. Always make eye contact with drivers as they approach.
- Only cross streets at crosswalks or intersections where possible.
- If a crosswalk or intersection is not available, cross at a well-lit area and wait for a gap in traffic that allows you plenty of time to cross safely.
- Be visible. Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially at night. Carry a flashlight.
- Avoid alcohol and drugs that impair your judgment and coordination.

Now, more than 28 years after my accident, AAA is paying like they should be, and it's all because of Mr. Morse's hard work and expertise."
Van Johnson
"From the receptionist, Jami, to the paralegals, secretaries and attorneys everyone at the Mike Morse Law Firm. is wonderful! I would recommend Mike Morse and his team to anyone."
Allen Markiewicz
"Attorney Mike Morse has a great team of people. I have nothing but good things to say and would refer them to anyone. I pass out their business cards every chance I get."

A little graduation present here. I borrowed the idea from here. I did have to tweak the directions a bit so I was able to fit a gift card in the box and I did have to make a few different cuts and such to make it fit but after all that work it turned out pretty awesome. The tassel was the hardest part for me to make and it still didn't turn out fabulous but it looked a-okay for gift giving.

Mainstream lipstick is like a sausage – after you find out how it is made, you might never eat it again. After I had learned what goes into making a typical lipstick, I stopped wearing it for a few years. But I am a human, too, and vanity is not a strange feeling to me. In the past 6 months or so, I searched for a natural lipstick that I could wear on special occasions, and today I want to share my finding of the best natural lipstick and help you choose the right color.
What is so bad about lipstick?
First of all, because we ingest small amounts, I wanted as many ingredients as possible to be food-grade. Unfortunately, because lipstick is a cosmetic product, lipsticks do not have to be food grade, and it would probably be impossible to find a lipstick with 100% food-grade ingredients.
Second, every cosmetic product, including lipstick, has to contain colorants.
There are two types of colorants: petroleum-based and mineral. Both might have traces of heavy metals; but from specifications detailed by the FDA in 21 CFR 74, generally, petroleum-based colorants have higher limits for lead, arsenic, and mercury. For example, the lead limit is doubled for many petroleum-based dyes (20 ppm versus 10 ppm for mineral pigments).
In addition, petroleum-based colorants may have other contaminants specific to petroleum, including benzo[a]pyrene, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), and brominated resorcinol. Some of these contaminants are human carcinogens.
Thus, as always, and especially in this case, I recommend staying away from petroleum-based products. Unfortunately, while mineral makeup is a better choice, it still may contain traces of heavy metals. To read about independent tests on random samples of cosmetics, head over here.
How do heavy metals end up in colorants?
They are not added intentionally. Because colorants are derived either from petroleum or from minerals, the raw materials of both come from the Earth's crust. Heavy metals are a natural part of the Earth's crust, and are present in water, soil, and air as a result of industrial pollution. Thus, heavy metals are found in colorants used by the makeup industry.
When a cosmetics company buys colorants, they should get Certificates of Analysis with them, in which there should be information about heavy metal levels. Most companies are not willing to share these certificates with consumers. I recommend products of companies that shared this information with me.
Some companies went as far as claiming that they test colorants for heavy metals instead of relying on the certificates. However, companies who made those claims, such as this one, were not willing to share the results of their tests with me.
The reason I am so concerned with heavy metals, especially lead and mercury, is that unlike other substances, they are bio-accumulative, which means that bit by bit they add up in your body and it is not easy to get rid of them. You can read about my detox story here.
Au Naturale Natural Lipstick Ingredients
Ingredients: Ricinus Communis (Castor Seed Oil), Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia Seed Oil), Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla Wax), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter Fruit), Camelina Sativa (Camelina Seed Oil), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Seed Oil), Oryza Sativa (Rice Bran Oil), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil), Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam Seed Oil), Rubus Idaeus (Red Raspberry Seed Oil), Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba Wax), Hydrogenated Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Seed Wax), Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Micas.
Let's re-group the ingredients for better understanding.
Waxes in Au Naturale Natural Lipstick
Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla Wax): extracted from Euphorbia cerifera, a shrub native to Mexico. Candelilla wax (E 902) is authorized in the EU as a food additive as a glazing agent (source), so this ingredient does not raise red flags.
Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba Wax): sustainably harvested from Brazilian palm leaves and used in numerous cosmetic applications. Carnauba wax is a food-grade ingredient and listed at 7 CFR Part 205.605(a) as one of two non-synthetic waxes allowed in or on processed products labeled as "organic" or "made with organic."
Hydrogenated Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Seed Wax): the product of hydrogenation (a chemical process in which hydrogen is added to liquid oils to turn them into a solid form) of jojoba oil obtained from the seed of the jojoba plant. Generally, hydrogenated oils are not used in foods but are not recommended for consumption in big amounts by health experts. As for jojoba oil, see below.
Oils in Au Naturale Cosmetics Eternity Lipstick
Ricinus Communis (Castor Seed Oil): is not used for cooking but is approved by the FDA as a food additive (source).
Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia Seed Oil): an edible oil, no concerns, would be better if it were certified organic, of course.
Camelina Sativa (Camelina Seed Oil): an edible oil with no concerns, it would be better if it were certified organic.
Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Seed Oil): a great emollient and used in natural lipsticks as a better alternative to petrolatum; it is not recommended for oral consumption as it contains toxic erucic acid. I believe that in this case, the "dose makes the poison" principle applies, meaning that in some instances, small doses are fine. You might want to wipe your lipstick off before you eat. Note that it stays well on the lips so the amount that transfers is small.
Oryza Sativa (Rice Bran Oil): this is a food-grade oil commonly used in cooking. I don't recommend it for cooking because of the potential for arsenic contamination, but in this case, the amount is too small to be a concern as you will probably ingest more arsenic by eating a spoon of rice.
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil): from my research, apparently sweet almond oil can be food-grade; you have to check the label.
Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam Seed Oil): not edible; however, I did not find any information about any adverse effects if it is orally consumed in small quantities.
Rubus Idaeus (Red Raspberry Seed Oil): is not an edible oil but again I did not find any information about any adverse effects if it is orally consumed in small quantities.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter Fruit): a vegetable fat obtained from the fruit of a tree native to Africa, Butyrospermum parkii.
Colorants in Au Naturale Natural Lipstick
There are three types of mineral pigments used in the Au Naturale Cosmetics Eternity lipstick, which are commonly used in natural cosmetics.
Au Naturale Cosmetics showed me their Certificates of Analysis, which showed heavy metal levels within the limits set forth by the FDA and European standards for colorants, including 0 levels for some heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic.
Titanium Dioxide: is widely used in sunscreen as a UV absorber and in cosmetics as a colorant; rated 1-3 in the Skin Deep database as there are health concerns when it is inhaled.
Iron Oxides: a mineral pigment widely used in natural cosmetics as a safer alternative to synthetic petroleum-based dyes; rated 2 in the Skin Deep database as it is listed in Canada Environment Substance List as persistent (does not biodegrade easily) and may be toxic when inhaled.
Micas: a mineral pigment widely used in natural cosmetics as a safer alternative to synthetic petroleum-based dyes; rated 2 in the Skin Deep database as it is listed in Canada Environment Substance List as persistent (takes a long time to break down).
If possible, Au Naturale tries to source colorants that are EcoCert certified and NOT made in China. I have to tell you, it is not easy to find a company that uses EcoCert colorants and discloses a manufacturing country of origin of their colorants. The only company I have found that sources only EcoCert pigments that are NOT made in China is Crunchi.
This concludes my ingredient review of the Au Naturale Cosmetics Eternity lipstick. After looking at every ingredient of this natural lipstick and a number of others, I believe its safety is the best. There were other cosmetic companies that I thought might be promising; however, they did not reply to me with answers to my questions.
That's another thing before I recommend a product, I like to speak with the person who formulates the products, which makes a big difference in gauging the company's trustworthiness.
How did I like Au Naturale Cosmetics Eternity lipstick?
There are some reviews on Amazon that point out that the lipstick is dry. I have not found that to be a problem, maybe because I do not have an expectation that a lipstick will act as a moisturizer. My lips get dry often, especially in the morning. I use a lip balm before going to bed or during the day if needed. I actually liked the fact that it is on the drier side, which makes it less transferable to food or drinking glasses/cups.
As for shades, true, it is not L'Oreal, so it does not have hundreds of shades. However, I believe it has a sufficient number of shades to choose from.
Here are my pictures wearing 4 different shades. From top left to bottom right, they are Elsa Luisa, Cha-Cha, Primrose, and Innocence.
I like them all depending on the occasion and what I wear. I contacted their makeup artist and based on my picture and preferences, she chose the Innocence shade for me, which you can see in the right bottom corner. You might want to contact her for a shade consultation as well.

It should not be used to cut continuous labels (ie. a long single continuous label on continuous backing paper). In other words, it is intended to cut through the backing paper separating the labels, not through any actual labels themselves.The ACS216 cutter can be retro-fitted to an existing LX900e printer if required. We can provide installation if required (subject to location) or it can be user-fitted by a technically minded person.

A week to the day after the landmark conviction of pain doctors Dr. Xiulu Ruan and Dr. John Patrick Couch, federal officials don't appear to be losing their focus on the improper prescribing and criminal diversion of opioid pain medication.
Last week, a jury in Mobile found Ruan and Couch guilty of 19 federal charges ranging from conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, health care fraud, violating anti-kickback statutes and violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
The case still appears to be the first time in United States history that a jury has convicted doctors of RICO charges — originally intended to combat organized crime — in relation to the operation of a pill mill.
The seven-week trial ended with one of the more high-profile victories in recent memory for U.S. Attorney Kenyen Brown and his office in the Southern District of Alabama. However, on Thursday, Brown deflected any praise to the jurors who heard more than 200 hours of testimony and the multiple law enforcement agencies that assisted with the case."Health care professionals should be held to a higher standard and a federal jury confirmed that," Brown said. "This office will continue to aggressively prosecute these types of cases as they are crucial to the state of this nation's health care status."
With the convictions of Ruan and Couch in the rearview mirror, Brown's office also publicly acknowledged the details of the assets the doctors have agreed to forfeit to the government — a list that includes millions of dollars worth real estate, luxury cars and cash.
According to the release, the defendants agreed to forfeit "several houses, beach condos" and multiple bank accounts along with 23 vehicles including multiple Bentleys, Lamborghinis, Mercedes, and Ferraris. In addition, each of the doctors also agreed to hand over an additional $5 million in cash to government — the result of a monetary judgment against them.
The forfeiture element of these type of "pill mill' cases has been criticized by doctors caught up in them as well as the attorneys who represent them with many defendants often accusing the government of targeting pain clinics and pharmacies because of those lucrative forfeitures.
When Ruan and Couch were first indicted during the DEA's "Operation Pillution" in 2015, the agency seized more than $12 million in liquid assets, over $7 million in property and 51 vehicles during synchronized raids in four states across the Southeast.

Orange Cranberry Muffins
In continuing on with my healthy/citrus craving lately, today I'm sharing with you Orange Cranberry Muffins. When I was on Weight Watchers back in 2011 I had an urge to bake something (shocking, I know!) so I went searching through their website for something healthy, convenient and practical. I came across these muffins and just loved them! They are filled with dried cranberries and have a nice orange flavor. They are topped off with granulated sugar, which gives them the texture of a nice cake doughnut. The top is definitely my favorite part!
I make a full batch of these and usually enjoy one fresh from the oven and freeze the rest. Once they are frozen I'll either grab one to go (they thaw out in about a half hour or so) or throw one in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. A muffin and some hot coffee - a perfect start to my day!
Orange Cranberry Muffins
Makes approximately 15 standard-sized muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup sweetened, dried cranberries
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat (1%) buttermilk **
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
**If you don't have buttermilk on hand you can make a quick substitution by putting 1 tablespoon of acid (lemon juice, white vinegar, cider vinegar or white wine vinegar) in a measuring cup. Fill the rest of the cup with 1% or skim milk to make 1 full cup of liquid. Let sit 5 minutes. Stir and proceed to use in the recipe.
Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray 15 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, cranberries, orange zest, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl mix together buttermilk, melted butter and egg. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spoon batter in prepared muffin tins. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the tops of the muffins. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dalai Lama is usual happy self, teaching peace & joy in football stadium
May 4, 2009
L. Steven Sieden
The Examiner
May 3, 2009
Just as was the case when he spoke to 55,000 here
in Seattle last year, the sun was shining in
Foxborough, MA when the Dalai Lama walked into
the stadium. In both instances, the weather
shifted from dreary rain to sunshine just in time for his outdoor appearance.
Not that a bit of rain would have dampened either
crowd. A huge diverse group always shows up when
he is speaking, and Massachusetts was no exception.
After sitting down, he once again demonstrated
his status as "a simple monk" and a crowd pleaser
by donning a Patriots cap. Then the fifteen
thousand plus attendees cheered as he put on the
cap. And as usual, he spoke of our innate rights
saying, "Everyone has the same right to achieve a happy life."
This was the Dalai Lama's first trip to the
Gillette Stadium, and Robert Kraft, who sat near
the front, allowed the use of Gillette rent-free
for the event, which raised an estimated $440,000
for construction of a Tibetan heritage center in Boston.
Speaking as an ordinary human on another trip to
the Boston area he said, "When I previously came
here my body as a human body was complete. Last
year gall bladder created some problems so finally is was removed."
May we all be as joyous and open as His Holiness.

I'll echo the suggestion for going with a Ninja 300. Reasonable legroom for a 6' rider, and plenty of power. Ergonomics aren't quite as relaxed as the 650R or Sportster, but are by no means 'cramped'. Style is still similar to the 650R, with similar fairing coverage. Buy used.
That said, there are much worse choices than the 650R. Something to remember about being a bigger rider: The odds of an accidental wheelie aren't actually reduced by your weight. Because you constitute more of the bike+rider system than a lighter rider, the combined center of gravity is higher. This means that if you are ham-fisted or drop the clutch (or both) on a 1-2 shift, the angles involved make the bike "try and run out from underneath you" for lack of better terminology. Take it easy, and work hard at being as smooth as possible.
Oh, and welcome to the site!

BigGuy, unless I missed it, I didn't see WHY you've narrowed your choice down to those two bikes. If we know why (i.e., what specifics you're looking for/prefer), we may be able to add more insight into other (possibly better) choices for you.

Harley: Very comfortable, I love the power and torque, i like the color, I've taken it for a ride twice now and the power/torque is very manageable. I love the classic look it has.
I would love to own both, they both have their pros, honestly can't think of any cons for either other than the ninja's windscreen. I'm not a fan of it. But function over form I guess. I'm not a sport bike only or a cruiser only or a dual sport only kind of guy. I like pretty much everything.
Oh and both are fuel injected. I've had two carbureted bikes and a carbureted truck and I prefer not to deal with carbs if I can avoid it.
I'm not trying to be an ass, I will seriously read and consider anything you find. This is not the point of the thread though. Nowhere did I ask for opinions (they were expected, but not requested) about what the best bike is for a new guy to start on. I said that at this point in time, I have it narrowed down to two. Those two may change in the coming weeks, they may not. Hell, I may end up choosing a 300 because I decide it's what I want.
Immediately above, you said that "nowhere did I ask for opinions" about the best bike, but in your first post, you asked for opinions on which of your two chosen bikes we readers recommend. Since your two choices are NOT thought to be good for a near-beginner, you have to expect advice stating so. There's an awful lot of riding experience here...you may want to consider listening to it. At least it seems like you do leave an opening for that, since you said that you may end up getting a 300...

Resist & Remember is an anti-fascist RPG celebrating & commemorating those who stood up to tyranny and often paid the ultimate price.
Never Forget (To Punch #Nazis In The Face)
Resist & Remember: Weimar--is a #roleplaying game built into five narrative Acts. The first four of these Acts cast the PCs as artists, barflies, Communist and Anarchist partisans, filmmakers, performer, socialites, writers, and other assorted trouble makers weathering the sea change in culture and society in #Berlin from the last days of #Weimar Republic through the rise of Nazi Germany. There, you will rub elbows with German artists, thinkers, creators, and other personalities, whose life trajectories parallel those of your characters: some will make it out alive, others will not be so lucky.
Weimar Berlin at the end of the #1920s and beginning of the #1930s was a progressive, liberal cultural hotbed of radical new ideas in art, music, architecture, and writing, as well as a divided political battleground with Anarchist, Monarchist, and National Socialist partisans fighting in the streets (the early 20th Century equivalent of Black Lives Matter clashing with Trump supporters, although nearly every day). The New Woman shook up the societal landscape, with German girls that were more sexually liberated and independent than ever before. At the same time, cabaret performances and theater were racier and more politically controversial than ever, and people of color were the trendiest musical acts at bars and night clubs.

: Echo Park's Winsome is a sleek spot from Spare Room owners Marc Rose and Med Abrou. Jeremy Strubel (Rustic Canyon) creates sophisticated and beautifully styled contemporary American dishes such as roasted maitake mushrooms and sautéed greens --- foresty flavors are heightened by tarragon breadcrumbs and burnt lemon aïoli. Fennel-crusted branzino gets a fresh seasonal accompaniment of buttered ramps, fava beans and leaves, and crispy baby artichokes. Duck egg toast is made a bit more decadent with nduja and Reading raclette. Even aguas frescas are gourmet gems, especially the version with blood orange, beet and charred kumquat. Former République pastry chef Leslie Mialma does the baking, and the case of goodies at the front of the restaurant often showcases items like bruléed caramel rye brownies, blueberry spelt muffins, and sweet and savory brioche. A handsome Eastside crowd lingers in the airy dining room booths over macchiato. They are surrounded by blond wood and midcentury décor, while the sprawling patio is the perfect spot for al fresco breakfast.

The information below is pretty easy to find but we are posting it here for those who may not know it exists. By the time a home schooler are in his/her teens, they are seasoned learners. The parents are out of the uncertain year and the child usually has their own initiative. It is the easier period of home schooling. A homeschooling mother said:
"Students that are homeschooled through high school learn to take ownership of their own schooling, doing almost everything for themselves — reading the lesson, answering the questions or working through the problems, checking their work, studying for the test, etc.".
The following article is comprehensive and is take from: Homeschooling Teens – FamilyEducation
The idea of homeschooling through high school can be scary. Parents tell me, "I could never home school my teen – I barely got through some of my own high school classes!" But home school advocates are discovering there's a better way for teens to learn, and homeschooling your high-schooler may be easier than you think.
Why Homeschool?
It's not uncommon for homeschooled teens to complete four years of traditional high-school studies in 24 months or less. How can that be? Teens who learn at home are able to focus their energy and resources on the task at hand. With no distractions, it's amazing how efficiently kids learn. This principle is illustrated by the requirements for schooled kids who are unable to attend classes due to illness. Most schools require 1-1/2 to 5 hours of at-home instruction for each weekof missed classroom learning.
Cafi Cohen — author of And What About College? How Homeschooling Leads to Admission to the Best Colleges and Universities — spent two full days observing public school classes. During those days, she kept track of administrative time versus on-task time. On-task time is roughly defined as students really doing something – reading, writing, listening to lectures, etc. Cohen discovered that less than one hour out of each six-hour school day was spent on-task. The bulk of the day was spent on administrative duties: taking attendance, collecting homework and reports, making announcements, passing out supplies, preparing for activities, cleaning up, and discipline – perhaps the biggest time-waster of all.
Many teens are also overwhelmed by the prospect of spending an hour or more a day on the school bus getting to and from school, only to be faced with three or more hours of homework in the evening. In the teen group I facilitate, teens stress wasted time as a major reason for homeschooling along with problems in the school environment: peer pressure, negative influences (drugs and sex), bullying, and even personal safety.
Can Anyone Homeschool?
Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. Many states have no specific requirements regarding the educational background of parents who homeschool. Studies have shown that homeschooled students repeatedly outperform their schooled peers on standardized tests, regardless of a parent's level of formal education.
With a little planning, a little cooperation from your teen, (yes, sometimes they actually do cooperate!), and creative record keeping, you'll be packing your homeschooled kids off to college — or wherever life's path will take them — before you know it!
How Do I Start?
Investigate your homeschooling options, and then set up a workable plan with your teen. This should be an individualized program, based on your teen's strengths and weaknesses, passions, and learning style. Successful homeschoolers are those who break away from the "one-size-fits-all" curriculum, that most of us remember. Aim for a course of study that allows your kids the freedom to pursue their interests, cover the basics, and become a lifelong learner. The following books will show you exactly how to do this.
Must-Have Books for Homeschooling Teens
- Homeschooling: The Teen Years — Your Complete Guide to Successfully Homeschooling the 13- to 18-Year Old by Cafi Cohen. If you can buy only one homeschooling book, this is it.
- Homeschoolers' College Admissions Handbook — Preparing 12- to 18-Year-Olds for Success in the College of Their Choiceby Cafi Cohen . For kids with college in their future, Cohen provides valuable information and resources for both parents and teens.
- The Teenage Liberation Handbook (a classic among homeschool families) and Real Lives: Eleven Teenagers Who Don't Go to School, both by Grace Llewellyn. These books will inspire and guide your teen with real stories about kids who learn in freedom.
- The Big Book of Home Learning: Junior High Through College by Mary Pride. An enormous collection of resources and advice from a homechooling veteran.
- The Homeschooling Book of Answers: The 88 Most Important Questions Answered by Homeschooling's Most Respected Voices by Linda Dobson. The best book for those new to homeschooling. Intelligent answers to just about every homeschooling question.
- The Homeschooler's Guide to Portfolios and Transcripts by Loretta Heuer. Covers the most difficult aspect of homeschooling teens: maintaining accurate records.Teaching and Record KeepingWhat Subjects Do I Teach?
Homeschooling: The Teen Years by Cafi Cohen outlines how to set up and follow a high school curriculum. If your child plans to attend college, Cohen advises you to begin your studies with the following subjects:
- Four years of language arts (English)
- Three years of math (usually through Geometry or Algebra II)
- Two to three years of science
- Three to four years of social studies (History and Geography)
- Two years of foreign language
- Two years of electives (Music and Drama, for example)If college is not in your teens' future, or at least not in the immediate future, he or she has more freedom choosing a course of study. The following books can help your teen decide the future path that is right for him:
- The Question Is College: On Finding and Doing Work You Love, by Herbert Kohl, provides thoughtful guidance, concrete examples, and useful tools to plot a course toward achieving your goals.
- The Uncollege Alternative by Danielle Wood explains how to create a profitable, exciting, and creative future without a college degree.
- Success Without College by Linda Lee has suggestions for achieving personal and career goals by either delaying college plans or finding a direct route to the working world.
- The Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Llewellyn highlights the learning styles and accomplishments of teens who are learning all the time — but not in the traditional sense.Covering Difficult or Unfamiliar Subjects
Covering difficult or unfamiliar subjects is not as hard as it seems. Parents can:
- Purchase a curriculum from a homeschool curriculum provider.
- Use a correspondence or online school.
- Use educational video courses (check with your library).
- Hire a tutor.
- Take an online class.
- Use educational computer software.
- Take a class at a community college.
- Learn the material along with your teen.Start your own class
Homeschoolers are often able to team up with other parents and create the classes their kids need. My girls wanted a French class, but private sessions were too costly. Group lessons (10 or more kids) were reasonable. I contacted homeschool support groups in my area and sent email messages to local homeschooling families to see if anyone was interested. In two days, I had 15 respondents, and eventually a waiting list!You can often find resources right in your community all you have to do is ask. Several parents of teens persuaded a retired chemistry teacher to teach their kids. Another group enlisted the help of a former English teacher, now a full-time mom, who set up a homeschool writing club in her home. And little persuasion was needed to convince an enthusiastic chess coach to start an official chess club for homeschoolers.Record Keeping
It's wise to keep track of your teen's activities. Loretta Heuer's The Homeschooler's Guide to Portfolios and Transcripts will show you how. You may need to maintain accurate records to comply with your state's statutes, or to submit them if your child must reenter high school. Independent study programs also require record keeping. For college-bound kids, remember: The records you keep today will be used tomorrow to create a portfolio for college admissions.Record keeping can be as simple as a daily journal, or filling in each activity on a large calendar. The level of detail shown in your records will depend on both your teen's goals and your homeschooling style.
Diplomas and College
High School Diploma
Do homeschoolers need a high school diploma? Sometimes. Do they need a diploma from an accredited school? According to Cafi Cohen, "The experience of thousands of families indicates that the answer is 'almost never.'"
Cohen elaborates: "Every homeschooler can have a document verifying graduation from high school because — as the principals and administrators of small private schools — all homeschool parents can create their own diplomas." Are these diplomas recognized? "College admissions officers rely primarily on transcripts, test scores, and letters of recommendation. Most never ask about diplomas because typical applicants, high-school seniors, do not yet have them."
What about job applications? Cohen advises parents: "Employers care mostly about experience. By granting your own diploma, your teenager can answer "yes" to the diploma question on most job applications. And, interestingly, employers never seem to phrase the question this way: 'Do you have a diploma from an accredited high school?'"
The only exception may be the military. If you know your son or daughter plans to enlist in the Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Force, consider using an accredited diploma-granting independent-study program like Clonlara School or American School (1-800-228-5600). Check with your local recruiter about current regulations for homeschool students.
GED High School Equivalency Diploma
The initials GED stand for General Education Development. The GED test measures how well someone has mastered the skills and general knowledge that are acquired in a four-year high school education. GED online is a special website dedicated to helping students prepare online for the GED High School Equivalency Test. For homeschool students desiring a formal diploma, the GED is another option.
If you're looking for a comprehensive guide covering just about every known approach to earning a college degree, Bear's Guide to Earning College Degrees Nontraditionally by John and Mariah Bear is for you. Read this book early – before you make your teen's college plans – it may change the way you homeschool!
Homeschoolers are accepted and welcomed at most colleges. Admissions policies vary, so plan ahead to meet the requirements of colleges that interest you. Generally speaking, testing requirements (ACT/SAT I & SAT II) are the same for homeschoolers and schooled kids. Click here for detailed information on admissions testing.
Most parents of teens who learn at home are motivated, resourceful, and determined to provide the best educational resources for their kids. When I ask parents of older homeschooled kids what they would change if they could do it over again, their replies are often the same: I would worry less, and enjoy my kids more. Sounds like good advice to me.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA.

But experts, law enforcement officials and private investigators like Bill Warner warn that the world of internet romance is fraught with peril, ranging from liars to sexual predators and even murderers, who hide their motives behind seemingly innocuous virtual identities. The numbers are worrisome – and horror stories abound. In February, MySpace was forced to cancel 90,000 accounts on its site that authorities revealed were linked to registered sex offenders. It was a fraction of the 130 million users of the site, but a significant percentage of the more than one million registered sex offenders in the United States. In April a Boston medical student, Philip Markoff, dubbed the "Craigslist killer" by the media, was arrested and changed with murdering a masseuse who advertised on the popular website's erotic services section. Two months later Craigslist was hit with another scandal when it emerged that a North Carolina man used the site to hire a man to rape his wife while the husband watched, MORE FROM THIS SOURCE..

We'd love to hear about it! Click here to go to the product suggestion community
Hi, I have 40 concurrent users on my sophos XG 105, can this cause me any problems?
All depends on the number and complexities of your firewall rules. How much memory is consumed and what is the CPU loads?
In reply to rfcat_vk:
cpu and memory are ok
Thanks =)
XG105 is what I have at home for my private usage, i.e. a single users. For 40 users ? Better be simple rules with almost no HTTPS scanning. Or users with very little internet needs.
I have installed a XG135 for around 10 users at a friends business ... No speed records there.
Good luck.

More regulation and more cost, do you regard that as a bore or an opportunity for profit? Let us examine the positives, starting with the value of reviewing your policies on the collection, storage, use and permissioning of the information you hold. Probably this is not something you would set out to do without some form of incentive, but given that complying with the GDPR implies that you have to do so, where is the payback?
Firstly, there is the challenge that it represents to your assumptions. Most consultancies thrive by recommending some sort of change that turns everything upside down, thus driving out waste and excess – leaving a leaner, cleaner and less expensive operation. Collecting less data, storing it for only as long as it is essential and being conscious of the purpose you require it for has to result in a better managed and focused business.
Secondly, you are likely to be driven to deploying enhanced levels of security and control to the data which will improve your protection against criminal exploitation of your organisation.
Which leads us to the third point in that you then have something to brag about to your clients, customers, staff or other 'natural persons' whose data you store. In any event, it is likely that you will have to seek the sort of clear affirmative consentAn unambiguous, informed and freely given indication by an individual agreeing to their personal data being processed.... required by the General Data Protection RegulationRegulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation)...., so why not combine that with beating the drum about how good you are, and how concerned you are to ensure client privacy? It will serve to enhance your reputation in their eyes, and single you out as a trusted entity.
That "active compliance" can be used as a marketing plus, not least across the common eco system that the GDPR creates within the European Community, which begs the Brexit question. It is the view of The DPO Centre that the regulatory basis that has been established is in the best interests of everybody and represents best practice to the World. We believe it will be adopted internationally in the same manner that International Standards Organisation (ISO) specifications become the norm everywhere, and far from seeking to withdraw from it, the trust and common standards benefits will dictate that the GDPR is actively promoted.
It might also be viewed as pre-empting a 'minus', especially when dealing with Governmental or similar agencies who are unlikely to be authorised to engage with non-compliant entities. Likewise, if you provide Data Processor services to your Data ControllerAn entity (such as an organisation) which determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.... clients. If you have business there, you will not want to lose it.
We would suggest that there are training and motivational benefits to the necessarily increased engagement both of and with your staff who must now lead decisions on the data they require and manage its ongoing security. This delegation of responsibility will mitigate mistakes and poor decisions and ease decision making at the summit of any organisation.
Finally, you can look for the enhanced opportunity in the utilisation, control and analysis of the information you hold – now that it has a structured security and privacy policy protecting it to an agreed standard across a wide spectrum of countries. Can you create fresh products, enter new markets, and increase the return from old applications? If you can, then the enforced change has all been worth it!

Package secretbox
Overview ▹
Overview ▾
Package secretbox encrypts and authenticates small messages.
Secretbox uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and authenticate messages with secret-key cryptography. The length of messages is not hidden.
It is the caller's responsibility to ensure the uniqueness of nonces—for example, by using nonce 1 for the first message, nonce 2 for the second message, etc. Nonces are long enough that randomly generated nonces have negligible risk of collision.
This package is interoperable with NaCl: https://nacl.cr.yp.to/secretbox.html.
▹ Example
▾ Example
// Load your secret key from a safe place and reuse it across multiple // Seal calls. (Obviously don't use this example key for anything // real.) If you want to convert a passphrase to a key, use a suitable // package like bcrypt or scrypt. secretKeyBytes, err := hex.DecodeString("6368616e676520746869732070617373776f726420746f206120736563726574") if err != nil { panic(err) } var secretKey [32]byte copy(secretKey[:], secretKeyBytes) // You must use a different nonce for each message you encrypt with the // same key. Since the nonce here is 192 bits long, a random value // provides a sufficiently small probability of repeats. var nonce [24]byte if _, err := io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, nonce[:]); err != nil { panic(err) } // This encrypts "hello world" and appends the result to the nonce. encrypted := secretbox.Seal(nonce[:], []byte("hello world"), &nonce, &secretKey) // When you decrypt, you must use the same nonce and key you used to // encrypt the message. One way to achieve this is to store the nonce // alongside the encrypted message. Above, we stored the nonce in the first // 24 bytes of the encrypted text. var decryptNonce [24]byte copy(decryptNonce[:], encrypted[:24]) decrypted, ok := secretbox.Open(nil, encrypted[24:], &decryptNonce, &secretKey) if !ok { panic("decryption error") } fmt.Println(string(decrypted))

Internal call graph ▾
In the call graph viewer below, each node is a function belonging to this package and its children are the functions it calls—perhaps dynamically.
The root nodes are the entry points of the package: functions that may be called from outside the package. There may be non-exported or anonymous functions among them if they are called dynamically from another package.
Click a node to visit that function's source code.
From there you can visit its callers by

Functions may be omitted if they were determined to be unreachable in the particular programs or tests that were analyzed.
Overhead is the number of bytes of overhead when boxing a message.
const Overhead = poly1305.TagSize
func Open ¶
func Open(out []byte, box []byte, nonce *[24]byte, key *[32]byte) ([]byte, bool)
Open authenticates and decrypts a box produced by Seal and appends the message to out, which must not overlap box. The output will be Overhead bytes smaller than box.
func Seal ¶
func Seal(out, message []byte, nonce *[24]byte, key *[32]byte) []byte
Seal appends an encrypted and authenticated copy of message to out, which must not overlap message. The key and nonce pair must be unique for each distinct message and the output will be Overhead bytes longer than message.
