West Texas Intermediate and North Sea Brent: What's the difference between these two global crude oil benchmarks?
So you've decided to try your hand at commodities investing, and you think the energy sector might match your objectives. Specifically, you've identified crude oil as your market of choice. Early in your research, you spot more than one type of crude oil traded on U.S. exchanges—West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") and North Sea Brent ("Brent") crude.
You notice that both have comparatively different trading volumes depending on the contract months. You also notice that although Brent and WTI prices are correlated, meaning that they tend to move together, there are times when Brent is more expensive than WTI and vice versa.
Now you must stop and ask yourself:
"WTI and Brent crude are both referred to as light and sweet crude oils," says Stephanie Lewicky, Senior Manager, Futures & Forex at TD Ameritrade. But what do these terms mean, exactly?
"To begin with, there are many different types of crude oil and crude oil blends in the world, and they're typically classified according to their capacity to be refined into gasoline," she says. "Crude oil that is lighter in density is easier to refine into gasoline. Conversely, oils with heavier densities are more difficult to refine."
API gravity is a standard measurement to classify oil density that was developed by the American Petroleum Institute. With numbers falling between 10 and 70, the lighter the oil, the higher the API gravity number. For example, oils in the high API gravity range—light oils—will often float on water; correspondingly, these oils are easier to refine. Heavy oils in the lower range of API gravity scores will begin sinking in water.
What about the term sweet? "This has everything to do with crude oil's sulfur content," says Lewicky, "and the cutoff is 0.5%. Sulfur content higher than 0.5% is considered sour; lower than 0.5% is considered sweet. The sweeter the oil, the easier it is to refine into gasoline and other petroleum-based products," she says.
So, crude oil that is both light and sweet is easier to refine. And these two qualities make up the benchmark for premium oils. WTI and Brent crude, both recognized as light and sweet, constitute premium benchmarks in the global crude oil market.
Now, consider the differences between the two.
Extraction Locations
Oil Density
Futures on these major crude oil benchmarks are listed on U.S. and European exchanges.
The prices of both WTI and Brent are highly correlated. Although each has a different price, they both fluctuate together, diverging and converging within a relatively tight range.
WTI crude is lighter and sweeter than Brent, and it's had a historical premium over Brent of around $2.50 to $4. But this hasn't always been the case. And for the last several years, Brent has commanded a premium. What might have contributed to this price inversion? (See figure 1.)
One short answer is that quality isn't the only consideration. Location, delivery logistics, and global supply and demand also play a part. "The WTI delivery point is Cushing, Oklahoma," says Lewicky. "It's a landlocked area, which is centrally located around the major oil fields, but far from where most oil and refined products—gasoline and petrochemicals, for example—are ultimately destined," she says.
In 2011, amid tensions in the Middle East, fears of a Suez Canal closure caused Brent prices to trade at a premium to WTI. The spread widened further as Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a shipping route through which 20% of the world's oil was transported. By the end of 2011, Brent traded $25 above WTI.
In 2015, the Brent-to-WTI spread dropped because of events in the U.S. and the Middle East. Iran, whose oil is benchmarked to Brent crude, agreed to increase flows into the market. This created more supply, which caused Brent prices to move lower. At the same time, U.S. rig counts declined while its WTI export activity increased. The decrease in U.S. oil production and supply, thanks to its increased exports, pushed WTI prices higher relative to Brent, but the conversion was short-lived. Brent has traded at a premium since early 2016.
By the middle of 2018, the Brent-over-WTI spread had widened to more than $6 a barrel. Many analysts attributed this to distribution bottlenecks in the U.S. and competition from Canadian oil.
"Because crude oil impacts markets and industries worldwide," says Lewicky, "financial news outlets and traders across the globe closely monitor the rising and falling prices of crude oil futures."
And although West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude are two highly correlated commodities—their prices tend to move in a similar fashion— each crude oil benchmark might respond differently to geopolitical, local, and economic forces.

Rocking short hairstyles doesn't have to mean boring or military. Check out a few great cuts that apply to the modern man and fit for your hair type.
Top Short Hairstyles for men
1. Artfully Disheveled
This is a good look for men who want a little less rigidity to their look without going over the top. An artfully disheveled hairstyle is easy to manage and can be adapted to any number of situations, allowing it to be sleek and professional for work or wild and full of life for the social scene. The look can require a bit of maintenance because though it may look like they just rolled out of bed looking that good, it can take a few minutes to get the orderly disordered look right. Think: Actor Robert Pattinson
2. Buzz Cut
For men who want basically a "no maintenance" look, the buzz cut is just right up their alley. The really is no maintenance involved in this men's short hairstyle as there isn't much hair to actually style. Of course not all men can pull this look off, you have to have the right facial features and the right head shape to make this look good, but if you do you can look stylish and cool without even really trying. Think: Actor Sam Worthington
3. Short Mohawk
For those men who like to have a little edge to their look, these men's short hairstyles may be the perfect choice. It's not for everyone and it may not be the right hairstyle for all work environments, but the low maintenance short Mohawk just might be the ticket to giving men a new fresh look that has style and attitude in rolled into one. Think: Actor Elijah Wood
4. Short Textured Haircut
This look is one that can work for both business and casual, giving a look of effortless style without being too edgy or boring. With a few easy swipes of hair product men can style their haircut into a spiky, low maintenance hairstyle that allows them to have a fairly versatile look that can be adapted to several other styles as well. Think: Actor Josh Duhamel
5. Shaggy Layers
For the men who want a hairstyle that drives women wild, this is certainly the one to do it. The men's short hairstyle can give even the most rugged men a boyish quality with just a few precision cut layers. The look is fairly low maintenance as it works by letting the hair hang loosely around the face. Think: Actor Zac Efron

From the Daily Caller News Foundation:
Misconduct by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees has become so pervasive it compromises airport security, according to a new congressional report.
The report found misconduct by TSA employees has increased substantially, and the TSA's "bloated, top-heavy bureaucracy" cannot adequately address the problem. Following a six-month investigation, the House Committee on Homeland Security said "significant management reforms at TSA must be made" to improve the organization.
"We're in the highest threat environment since 9/11 and terrorists are intent on attacking civil aviation, as we've seen in Brussels and Istanbul," Rep. Scott Perry, chairman of the Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee, said in a statement. "TSA needs significant and lasting reforms to address its employee misconduct crisis."
Misconduct by TSA employees grew by nearly 30 percent between 2013 and 2015, "despite a large bureaucracy designed, in part, to address employee misconduct," the report states. Though wrongdoing has grown, investigations into misconduct have decreased. Nearly half of all TSA officers have been accused of misconduct, and 25 percent are allegedly repeat offenders. (VIDEO: TSA Agents BEAT AND JAIL Disabled Teen With Brain Cancer)
"TSA has developed a bloated, top-heavy bureaucracy to process misconduct allegations, but does not effectively provide leadership over it to ensure that misconduct is consistently addressed," the report states. "Furthermore, TSA has failed to properly address misconduct despite using a significant amount of resources to manage or, in this case, mismanage, the misconduct process."
Furthermore, the report found indications misconduct permeates all levels of the TSA. Particularly, some senior security managers "mandated employee transfers around the country, as, in some cases, retaliation for employees elevating security concerns."
The report praised TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger for his efforts to reform the TSA, but expressed doubt about how those reforms would continue under new leadership in the next presidential administration.
"TSA will likely have new leadership with the change in administration, and it is unclear whether the officials that stay with TSA will continue to demonstrate this type of commitment," the report says. TSA administrators are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
TSA Deputy Administrator Dr. Huban Gowadia told the committee Thursday she expects to remain in her position under the next administration. "I hope to stay there for a good bit of my career," Gowadia said. Assistant Inspector General for Investigations Andrew Oosterbaan also testified before the committee.

Articles with William Holton
Exploring Complex Systems in Nature
"My work is an exploration of complex systems in nature, and the dynamic interplay of structure and contingency that makes up the universe. I begin with spirals as a basic unit of configuration. Using compressed air to create and move small currents of paint, I yield control to my materials so that these basic units become force fields, drawing energy within themselves like a vortex and radiating it outward. As they bump up against one another, and overlap, they create interference patterns and complex interstitial spaces. These vibrate in a dynamic interplay in which nothing is static, where "positive and "negative" spaces shift in relation to one another in the shifting light."

New Zealand is becoming an increasingly diverse country.
We are lucky to have a vibrant ethnic culture, and our Indian communities are an integral part of that.
Ever since I became Prime Minister, I have been clear that I welcome migrants who bring skills and diversity to our country, and I welcome open free trade and foreign investment in New Zealand.
That's because I believe strongly New Zealand's future is in being open and connected to the rest of the world. As a small island nation, we will not get rich selling things to ourselves. But we can if we build and develop strong and enduring global relationships.
Meeting Modi
That's why it was great to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during my recent visit to India and agree we will work towards an earlier completion of a high-quality and comprehensive bilateral free trade agreement.
We also pledged to continue to play constructive roles in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership talks.
Our economic relationship with India has grown significantly in the past five years, with two-way trade increasing by a third to $2.4 billion, but we can and should do more.
India is now the world's third largest economy and in the next few years it will be the world's most populated country so growing our relationship will offer incredible opportunities to New Zealanders and Indians alike.
India is already a key partner for New Zealand. It is a leading source of skilled migrants, international students and tourists.
Welcoming Indians
Each year, we welcome many people from India to our beautiful country. In the past five years, the number of Indian tourists coming here has increased by more than 60 per cent to around 48,000 a year. Around 45,000 New Zealanders travel to India each year.
We have also nearly tripled the number of Indian students coming to study in New Zealand each year to around 30,000.
New Zealand was also honoured to host Indian President Pranab Mukherjee earlier this year, an historic event as he was the first Indian President to visit our country.
I was also pleased Prime Minister Modi has accepted my invitation to visit New Zealand and I look forward to welcoming him when he can make it.
As Prime Minister, I value the contributions Indian New Zealanders make to the success of our country. New Zealand is home to more than 160,000 New Zealanders of Indian-origin, and they make an important contribution to our business, cultural and sporting life.
Impressive record
Under National's strong, stable and responsible economic management, New Zealand is in great shape and we are making good progress.
We have a strong, growing economy – one of the best performing in the developed world – there's more jobs, falling unemployment, we are back in budget surplus and we're getting better results from core public services like health, education and law and order.
Our focus now is building on those gains.
National is committed to maintaining rising surpluses because it gives New Zealand choices in the future. Along with tackling debt, they include building more new schools and hospitals and offering more support for our more vulnerable people.
Commitment to community
As Prime Minister, I am committed to ensuring the voice of the New Zealand Indian community is heard at the highest levels of government. Every year I attend a range of different Indian events and talk to lots of people in the Indian community about issues that matter to them. I particularly enjoy visiting as many Diwali events as I can attend each year across the country.
Alongside my colleagues Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi and Dr Parmjeet Parmar, we are working hard to build a stronger, more prosperous country and to help families get ahead.
Dr Parmar is also National's candidate in the upcoming by-election in Mt Roskill on December 3, 2016. She's an outstanding candidate, who moved to New Zealand from India around 20 years ago, and knows Mt Roskill inside out. She's been working hard as a List MP in the community for the past two years.
Parmjeet is running a strong campaign focused on the local issues that matter to the people of Mt Roskill. If you live in the electorate,
I would encourage you to get out and support her to become the next MP for Mt Roskill. This is your chance to vote in New Zealand's first Indian electorate MP.
Finally, congratulations to Venkat and the team at Indian Newslink on celebrating 17 years of publication. That's a significant milestone and I wish you all the best for many more editions to come.
John Key is Prime Minister of New Zealand.

|4th Street Underpass
|First episode:
|"Day 8: 1:00pm-2:00pm"
|Last episode:
|"Day 8: 2:00pm-3:00pm"
The 4th Street Underpass was a tunneled portion of a street in New York City.
Day 8[edit | edit source]
As President Charles Logan was en route to meet Yuri Suvarov, his driver went through this underpass. As they were in the middle of traffic, a masked Jack Bauer ambushed the limousine blowing the tires of the cars in front of it. Jack then approached the car and knocked out all the Secret Service agents as Logan cowered in terror inside the limousine. Jack then broke the windshield of the limousine and dropped a can of tear-gas inside to force Logan out. He then kidnapped him through the streets underground passageways.
When Jason Pillar found out what had happened, he went there and questioned the injured Secret Service agents but they claimed they didn't see who it was. Pillar then noticed a blown lock near a door and informed that Bauer had probably gone through that passageway. After finding Logan and allowing him to recover, Pillar informed him about the murder of Mikhail Novakovich. They then waited for Logan's new security detail and left for the United Nations when they arrived.

Chimney Sweeping
In order to keep your fireplace or stove operating both safely and efficiently and comply with your home insurer's mandatory requirements, it's essential that your chimney or flue is swept at least once a year by an approved sweep. Furthermore, it also prevents the build-up of soot and tar which can cause chimney fires and cause blockages that result in carbon monoxide being released into the room
Approved by The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps
Shropshire Gas is approved by the The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps, a trade body for UK chimney sweeps, meaning that our engineers work to a set standard, ensuring that a code of practice is adhered to and a certificate issued to prove that the work has been carried out to industry standards.
Our services include:
- Chimney sweeping
- Cowls and birdguards supplied and fitted
- CCTV surveys
- Fire installations
- Advice given
- Chimney testing
- Fire and stove repairs
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) smoke alarms supplied and fitted
- Chimney repairs
- Solid Fuel appliance servicing
Stoves / Log Burners
During the sweeping process, we'll inspect your stove, ensuring that the flue connections are clear and airtight. Depending on the condition of the flue and the amount of soot and tar present, our engineer may also be able to offer additional advice as to the correct operation of your stove. Operating the stove at too low a temperature can lead to inefficient burn and this results in increased deposits in the flue. Too hot and damage to the stove could occur, along with an increased risk of chimney fires.
To find out more and arrange for your chimney to be swept, please Contact Us or call into one of our Showrooms.
Open Fires
Our engineers also sweep chimneys and flues for all types of open fires. To find out more and arrange for your chimney to be swept, please Contact Us or call into one of our Showrooms.
About the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps
- The guild was formed to improve the standards and professionalism of the UK chimney sweeping industry ensuring the longevity of the chimney sweeping profession for chimney sweeps while safeguarding both the public and trade from the risk of chimney fires and CO poisoning.
- The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps was established with the goal to improve standards within the industry by introducing professional training and assessment for sweeps.
- Today, the Guild is both nationally and internationally recognised for its efforts and achievements in improving standards for both chimney sweeps and their customers.
- The Guild is also a member of the 'Europaische Schornsteinfegermeister Föderation' or the European Federation of Master Chimney Sweeps (ESCHFOE). Some countries take chimney sweeping more seriously than others for example, in Germany, it is a legal requirement that chimneys are swept once a year. This has resulted in Germany having a drastically lower number of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisonings than the UK.
- Sweeps within the UK are still not legally obliged to pursue any training or gain any qualifications in order to trade. However, for a chimney sweep to become a member of the Guild they must meet and adhere to strict criteria while also achieving the highest minimum standards in the industry.
- For chimney sweeps this means that they can provide the highest level of service to their customers while having the support and experience of a national trade organisation. Many Guild members go on to gain further qualifications within the chimney sweeping industry.
- For their customers, when they seek the service of a Guild Chimney Sweep, they can have the peace of mind knowing that they will be receiving an excellent standard of service and knowledge from a professionally registered person.

According to Heb 11:27 Moses did not fear the wrath of the Pharaoh. According to Exod 2:14 he was afraid. How can this be explained?

For Cal Harris, the fourth time was a charm. Harris was found not guilty of the murder of his wife, Michele Harris in a bench trial (no jury) before Judge Richard Mott on May 24. Harris had been convicted twice before, with those convictions overturned on appeal. His third trial ended in a hung jury. It's only now that Harris can finally relax, knowing that he can no longer be tried for Michele's murder.
Wiehl of Justice caught up with Harris and his attorney, Bruce Barket to discuss his long ordeal and how it has impacted his family.
If you are new to the Cal Harris saga, make sure you check out Wiehl of Justice's series on this case, beginning with episode one:
Ep. 1 - Cal Harris Story: The Beginning
Here's part one of a Wiehl of Justice two-part interview with Harris and Barket on what's come before, and what's still on the horizon. Rest assured that Cal has plenty to say!

Ongoing Class Descriptions
An ongoing class is a class that is continuous and does not follow the typical Summer, Winter, Fall & Spring class session start and end dates. New students are always welcome to join an ongoing class at any time as the instructors have developed teaching methods to incorporate new students into their classes without holding back the current students.
Instructors will allow you take one free class prior to signing up. The pass card is ideal because it allows you the freedom of only coming when it is convenient for you. You are only charged a class if you attend, not if you miss one. A pass card is good for 10 classes and does not expire. Not all ongoing classes go all year long so once the season comes to an end you may purchase just enough classes to get you through to the end of the season.
A few things to remember about the pass card:
- The card is only good for the instructor it was purchased; however, you may attend any class the instructor is teaching
- Some classes have been converted to our new pass card system which allows you to swipe at the front desk located in the main Community Center lobby. All ongoing classes will eventually be converted to this electronic swipe pass card.
For more information please call (561) 741-2400 or e-mail.
2019-2020 Ongoing Class Descriptions

When Love Never Ends - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat; Think With Your Taste Buds; A Book and A Dish
Sam never uttered the words "I love you" to any woman with whom he had a sexual relationship. He had said those three words only to Sara, who was the love of his life. Threatened and intimidated by her father, Sam had walked away from her a long time ago. That happened in 1966 and now, thirteen years later, he was still in love with her. Sam tried not to think of her, but in the deepest reaches of his heart, he could never forget her. A man never forgets his first love. Sam's ultimate desire was to correct the one mistake he'd made long ago. His friend, Dr. Jeremiah Ebenezer Pike, always talked about the possibility of time travel. If it was possible to travel back in time, then I'd correct the mistake I made in leaving Sara, Sam thought.
It was only since the loss of his wife four years ago that Ebb had been obsessed with the concept of time travel. On a Wednesday, Sam met Ebb for dinner. "Ebb, tell me more about your project of time travel."
Sara's father was a bit of a bigot. When he found out that Sam was part Japanese he forbid Sam to see Sara. With there being a 5 year age difference he threatened Sam with statutory rape, along with threats regarding Sam's parents as well as Sara herself if he didn't break it off with her immediately without allowing her to know that her father had intervened. Sam had always wanted to be an attorney and this dream would be destroyed if he went to jail. He also worried about what would happen to his parents if his dad lost his job and how Sara would thrive with her father controlling her every move. He had no choice but to break it off, hurting both of them more than either could imagine.
Sam saw his dream and became a graduate of Harvard University. He met Elliot Benson who was the controlling partner in an exclusive law firm that represented some of the more wealthy clients in Seattle. Benson took an immediate liking to Sam and offered him a position within the firm. Sam was impressed but had committed to work for Senator Kennedy in Washington for four or five years. After completing this he would return to Seattle and if Benson still wanted him he was his.
After returning to Seattle, Sam's life was still incomplete. The missing element was Sara so when she walked into his office one day asking if he would represent her in her divorce against an abusive husband, Sam felt the missing pieces of his life coming back together. Until......
This book is so beautifully filled with love and commitment. It also holds hate and disappointments. But then it holds the possibility of everything being corrected and happiness falling upon everyone within Sam and Sara's lives. This was a truly enjoyable book with a surprise around every corner.

PwC rated as an ALM Vanguard Leader for Digital HR Transformation consulting
With 60% of CEOs rethinking their HR function HR professionals are under pressure to change the ways in which they use their expertise and tools to identify skills gaps, anticipate needs, spot potential and build their organisation's workforce.
Transforming HR systems is essential to ensuring an organisation is fit for the digital age, with Software-as-a-service technologies such as SAP, Oracle and Workday forming a crucial element of any HR transformation. However, tailoring the process to each organisation's unique needs - and never losing sight of the fact HR is fundamentally about people- is what makes the difference in driving change and achieving success in today's competitive environment.
Jon Williams, Pwc's Global People and Organisation Leader said:
"In today's competitive environment, rethinking HR doesn't stop at implementing new technology platforms. It should be the catalyst for wider and more stimulating change within your organisation that transforms HR and improves your people's experience."
ALM Intelligence, one of the leading research organisations for management, financial and IT consulting, has named PwC as a Vanguard Leader for Digital HR Transformation Consulting services.
Brendan Williams, Associate Director and Lead for Digital Consulting Research, and Andreas Stocker, Analyst, Digital Consulting research at ALM Intelligence and authors of the report noted that PwC has the edge when it comes to the difficult task of helping clients adopt more agile, digital mindsets and behaviour within their HR organisation. They commented further:
"PwC brings the culture and change management capabilities of its market-leading Katzenbach team to bear on its clients' digital HR transformation challenges. This gives the firm an edge when it comes to the difficult task of helping clients adopt more agile, digital mindsets and behaviors within their HR organizations. PwC enables clients to build their own digital HR capabilities in areas such as automation and analytics so they can sustain performance improvements."
"PwC emphasises the importance of the overall solution in its approach to the digital HR transformation market. Helping clients design and implement solutions built around the offerings of the main HR technology providers is the backbone of PwC's presence in this market. However, the firm places just as much emphasis on assisting clients with managing the impact of changes associated with introducing digital technologies into the HR function as it does on the technology side of the solutions"
"PwC sees digital transformation as a component of a larger digital transformation, just as it believes the responsibility for human capital extends beyond the HR department."
Bhushan Sethi, PwC's Global Workforce Capability Leader added:
"We're delighted to be recognised as an ALM Intelligence Vanguard Leader for Digital HR Transformation consulting services. Alongside our partnerships with HR technology providers, we have created and developed digital platforms that enable better insights through HR data.
Combining these technologies with PwC's People Analytics practice, Saratoga HR benchmarking and the Katzenbach Centre for culture and change management, means that we are leading the way in digital HR transformation"
*ALM Intelligence, formerly Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory.

INTI releases second video for fifth annual teacher's day campaign
INTI International University & Colleges has released a video sequel to complement the first of its two special videos for the fifth annual #Dedicated2Cikgu campaign, entitled 'More than Just a Teacher'.
In just a minute-and-a-half, the video creatively journeys through the everyday life of a teacher who is seen wearing multiple hats, thereby emphasising the video's title.
Timothy Johnson, Senior Vice President, Corporate Marketing, Products & Partnerships at INTI said, "A great teacher is one who plays many roles; one who moves and inspires a student beyond the way he or she offers quality education. Indeed, a great teacher is not one who simply teaches."
The first video called 'Role Reversal' was aired on INTI's Facebook page on the April 11, 2016. Upon going live, this two-and-a-half-minute long video went viral and received 771,551 views, 32,400 likes and 7,300 shares since its air date.
This year, the #Dedicated2Cikgu campaign allows all secondary school students nationwide to grade their teachers in the Report Card of Happiness contest. The contest opened on April 11, 2016 and has since received more than 1,000 entries. The number of entries received so far has already doubled.
Entrants with the best testimonies stand to win prizes that include a Samsung Chromebook, a Pebble smart watch or merchandise from INTI. The Report Card of Happiness contest ends on the 11th of May, 2016. The Report Card of Happiness can be found on the #Dedicated2Cikgu site: www.newinti.edu.my/dedicated2cikgu.
The 'More than Just a Teacher' video can be viewed here.

Who doesn't like carrot cake? No one. The golden ratio between the sugar, oil, eggs, carrots and flour is the secret to this divine cake. I think prepping all the ingredients takes the most of your time here. The recipe itself, from Hummingbird's Cookbook, has been rewritten as easy-to-follow as possible so shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.
Being the cream cheese addict that I am, I tried and tested several recipes until I discovered one way to improve all of them: cut the sugar, add the cheese. For those of you who don't like the headache-inducing cream cheese frosting of most bakeries, I suggest you try this one. Ingredients
- 300g carrots (grated, thick or thin to preference)
- 300g soft golden sugar
- 3 eggs
- 300ml sunflower oil
- 300g flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinammon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp vanilla
- zest of half an orange
- 50g shelled walnuts (chopped & whole ones extra to decorate)
- 50g pecans (& extra to decorate)
- 300g icing sugar (Sifted twice)
- 100g butter (at room temperature)
- 400g cream cheese (cold)
- Set the oven to 170°C / 325°F and grease and line the base of two 9 inch cake tins
- Beat the sugar, eggs and oil in a freestanding mixer with the paddle attachment
- Gradually add the flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, zest and vanilla. Beat well
- Fold in the carrots and walnuts by hand and pour batter into cake pan
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the sponge bounces back when pressed
- Leave to cool before inverting onto a wire rack
- Once completely cool, frost the cakes and decorate with the nuts
- Beat the sugar and butter using a freestanding mixer or electric whisk on medium-low
- Once the mixture is smooth add the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated
- Turn up to medium- high and continue beating until light and fluffy. Do not overbeat.

No matter what kind of mood i'm in if i listen to this song i become happy. I've listened to it at least once a day for about a year now and i'm still not tired of it. I doubt i ever will be. The whole album "Grand" is amazing but this song still sticks out as my favourite.
Seriously, you could tell me that i'd just been sacked from my job, i've been thrown out my house and someones hacked into my bank account then play me this song and i'd still just smile. It's everything about it, the lyrics, the way he sings, the catchy lead piano parts and even the video. In fact the video makes me smile even more. It's just a very happy kind of video, i can't explain it really. The drummer Kim has has an insanely infectious smile throughout the video and Matt has that distinctive upbeat voice. Enough talking about it though, you get the point. Below are free MP3's for a few different versions of the song. The first is the original version, the second is essentially a slowed down version of the song which appears at the end of their album "Grand" and the last version is pretty much a cover version to be honest.
MP3: Matt and Kim – Daylight Outro Version

Curves For Women
I did a search and read the one posting on CFW. I just joined today and am looking forward to my first workout. Is anyone else a member? Those that posted earlier this year, are you still going? If so, would you share your results?
One question ~ I was told today that 3x a week is plenty and that I wouldn't have better results coming 4-5 times a week. I thought that was strange - - do you find that true? Any posts appreciated. Thanks *Ã*
Debbi, I joined Curves last April. Since then I always went 3X per week, and more often 4X per week. The first month I lost some body fat, but gained 4lbs. The next month I lost those lbs. and the next I was down 2 more lbs. (I need to lose a lot more). From then on, nothing..no inches or lbs. I think the exercise is great, but no one in the group that I know of is losing weight unless they are on a diet too. Then they use Curves to help firm up. Curves has a weight loss plan, but I found it too costly, plus I don't do well drinking a meal. So,I like the exercise, but I don't have any great expectations now like I had at the start.
Bev ~ thank you for your honest response, I appreciate your input. Yes, the reason I didn't go in earlier (to CFW) was because I thought you *had* to do their diet plus the workout. I've been Somersizing for over 7 months (have lost 60#) and wanted to add more exercise. I currently only do Body Flex every day. I wasn't interested in their diet plan or supplements (although I'm sure they're probably very high quality, but *way* too pricey for me).
So, if I understand correctly Bev ~ you haven't lost inches or pounds in the past 4 months? *Ã*
Debbie, Right, I haven't lost inches or pounds in the last 4 months. And I have actually only lost 2 lbs cause the first 4 was a gain, then lost. I am disappointed, but yet, I am sure the exercise is good for me. I continue going but I don't have any high expectations. I hope that you will have more success with losses than I have. Congratulations on your weight loss. That is a truly something to be proud of.
I joined last March and I've had good results - lost 10 lbs in a couple of months without dieting. Since I'd been fairly sedentary before I started going, I built up some muscle and raised my metabolism right away. Because the workouts are brief they fit into my schedule without too much trouble. At my location we're encouraged to come every day if we can - I would question whoever told you you wouldn't get any benefits from coming more than 3x a week. I work out as hard as I can (frankly, some people there chat more than exercise), and I try to work out 4 times a week.
I'm doing their diet now, and I've lost another 10 in 3 weeks. I just decided to do their plan on the spur of the moment - really, any diet combined with the exercise would work. I'm not crazy about their diet (it's pretty low carb), but it's working so far, and I've gotten used to it. I substitute a small meal for the protein shakes.
If you go frequently, I bet you'll see some results quickly. Congrats on all the weight you've lost so far - I'm in awe.
Thank you daff for replying. Today was day #2 for me and I agree ~ it's a good workout, at least for me it is! I was wondering that too ~ about working out more than 3 times a week. The only thing I wonder is that I've read you should rest your muscles for 48 hours after weight training, so I wonder if the same would apply for resistance training.
I wish you continued success! *Ã*
I have been going since January and have not seen much results. 3 times a week. I sometimes even go 4 times a week. I have noticed that I have been much stronger than I have ever been. I didn't lose very much and did not see much results other than probably 1 lb a month. I love the excercise though.
I went 5 days a week. You can lose some inches but in my opinion, this is not a good exersize for weight loss. This is for muscle mass and toning. Anyone wanted to really lose weights needs arobic type to raise the heart rate. At curves, even if your heart rate gets going a little it doesnt stay in that "zone" long enough to lose weight.
If you want to tone up that is about all its good for.
I had joined Curves I thought for a year - although it doesn't state on my contract if I don't notify them in writing in advance that I want to cancel my membership they continue your membership and in my case continue taking money out of my checking account and bouncing my checks in the process. I have found out that although my contract doesn't state that I have to cancel my membership in writing and go to the facility where I joined and cancel there that my membership continues. I guess there is a little line on the form that I signed to deduct money out of my checking acct that states this - but I did not get a copy of this form so I did not have a clue.
Sorry, just a little venting after getting the runaround as I have because you see it is not their standard practice to refund the money after the fact
Just a quick comment for those not loosing *weight* and gaining...if it's a good training program, you will be building muscle. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so while you may not be losing weight on the scale, you *are* losing fat and replacing it with muscle. Muscle burns calories even when you are at rest, which is why building muscle is the best way to lose fat (and it's also why most diets/etc don't work - if you don't have that muscle using calories all day, you'll easily gain back anything you lose).
So you may want to take that into consideration when looking at weight loss programs such as this one - *weight* (as in what the scale says) really isn't a good indicator of your overall body health - it's the ratio of muscle to fat that's important.
I just joined CFW two weeks ago, and my goal is to go 4X per week. They did recommend 3X, but they said the more I go, the better. I find that the best thing about it is that I can easily fit it in to my lunch hour (I take my exercise wear with me to work, and the location is 5 min from my office). I always feel refreshed and relaxed when I get back to work. Several women I work with go also, and a few have lost an impressive amount of weight within a year's time. My goal is to lose 10-15 pounds, but I also need to tone up pretty badly. In any case, it's affordable, and it fits into my schedule; I desperately need some form of exercise, and so far, this has been a good choice for me.
It's been almost a month for me (on 11-19) and I'll post any weight/inch loss after I'm measured on the 19th. I am *realy* enjoying going to Curves, it's great for me. I'm definitely toning. Thanks for ALL the responses. *Ã*
I just joined a CFW clone, because their hours are longer and the facility is nicer. The equipment is made by PACE and is hydraulic. Im not trying to loose weight just tone up and get some energy back . I'm nearly 60 and like the "go at your own pace feature" of this type of club. So far it isn't crowded and there is a masseuse on staff as well. I'm going 3X a week. I've belonged to two gyms and was tired of working out to loud rock music with preening male bodybuilders.

I just joined today and had my first workout. I am trying to shape up and lose 20 lbs. I am disappointed to hear that many of you aren't losing weight on this program. The gal said that I absolutely won't be sore tomorrow because of the way the program and machines are structured. I walked out of the facility feeling just great. Well, I am so sore already that I can hardly walk! I know that I am out of shape, but this is crazy! I am not going to go tomorrow (they told me that 3x a week is what they suggest) but I will go back on Wednesday--if I can walk! LOL
I've been considering checking out the new Curves that's opened here in town. I would only be interested in doing the exercise program. I am curious about how much it costs per month and if you can just pay on a monthy basis rather than signing up for a specific amount of time. I have heard about this bit where gyms like to have an acct. # so they can automatically take the $ out of your acc't and it's hard to cancel when you want to so I'd rather not have to go that route. I like the idea of a womans's only facility so would appreciate any one who can answer my questions. TIA......Linda/NJ
I joined Curves last month (end of May '03) and I LOVE it. It is truly the ideal thing for me.
In January of this year my schedule changed and I couldn't take my walks any more, and boy did I notice a difference. I'm about 30 pounds overweight but I'm tall and my weight is extremely evenly distributed (literally, from my face to my feet) so I don't look really heavy but my strength and endurance are very low. I knew I needed to start some form of exercise and began looking at every possible option, and ended up choosing Curves.
I go to Curves straight from work. My heart rate goes up within the first 10 minutes and stays there the rest of the time. After just 9 sessions (in 2-1/2 weeks, 3x a week), my resting heart rate is noticably slower which tells me I am getting a good cardiac workout. I'm not as winded when I go up stairs. And that's what is important to me -- not how much weight I lose, but how fit I am. At nearly 50 years old, strength and endurance are far more important (actually, at any age, they should be most important but I wouldn't have listened to that when I was younger, LOL). I'm also starting to notice that my heart rate doesn't go too high now like it did at first during the work-outs, another sign that I'm already in better shape. I believe that weight loss will eventually take place, since I need to lose weight (if I didn't really need to, I might not lose any). but right now my overall fitness is more important. Everything else will fall into place.
Curves is great for me in every way. A fun, cheerful, up-beat atmosphere (typical gyms are very visually unappealling to me), perfect for my schedule, and I look forward to it.
I don't diet and don't believe in it. I believe in eating healthy foods in moderation without unrealistic restrictions. Eating when I'm hungry and stopping when I'm full is best. I don't eat just salads and soup. I don't count calories. What I do is choose a salad and fruit instead of chips to accompany my sandwich -- because it is a healthier choice not because it is lower fat or "diet" food. It works for me and I can stay with that for the rest of my life. And sometimes, during special occasions, I'll partake in the chips and dip without going overboard.
BTW, the women at my Curves gym are all shapes, sizes, and ages. So, it is NOT just for overweight and/or older women. Anyone can enjoy and benefit from it. But like everything else, not everyone will like it. Hey, even chocolate isn't liked by everyone! :-)
I joined Curves on June 2 and so far I have lost 7 lbs and 1 pant size. I'm thrilled with the program and hope to see more success in the future.
Alston, no spam here.
Now...about Curves and not advertising...I joined a couple of years ago and went regularly for a year. It's a fine workout, friendly people, but I just got so bored with it,
could not stand to go any more. Now I walk and do yoga.
I joined curves aabout a month ago. I have not lost any weight but i have lost an inch around my waist. Is this bad for a curves program?
I am only 15 and joined because i wanted to look and feel my best, i hate being ashamed of my body...
Any tips for the program to see more results? no, i am not considering their weight loss plan.....

Fairview Mennonite Church (Surrey, North Dakota, USA)
Fairview Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church (MC)), a rural congregation near Minot, Ward County, North Dakota. A group of 22 members organized a congregation, having ordained I. S. Mast, one of their number, to the ministry in March 1903 in the Kishacoquillas Valley of Pennsylvania. They arrived in Surrey, North Dakota on 2 April 1903, built the church, and dedicated it on Thanksgiving Day of 1905. In 1908 the first church conference was held and I. S. Mast was ordained bishop. In 1911, 12 members withdrew and joined the Nazarenes. In 1914 L. S. Glick was ordained a minister and served until 1930. The congregation had sponsored two mission Sunday schools by the 1950s. L. A. Kauffman served as pastor 1930-1945. In 1931 R. E. Myers was ordained deacon and served until 1939. In 1942 Floyd Kauffman was ordained minister and S. K. Zook deacon; both were still serving the congregation in 1955. In 1944 Floyd Kauffman was ordained bishop. The congregation had besides the regular meetings a quarterly Sunday-school meeting, and a summer Bible school. The membership in 1955 was 52.

text: In a review, Dr. Michael V. Sivak Jr. of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland predicted the future of endoscopy by drawing upon the history of the discipline. He noted that advancements in endoscopy may slow or stop. Sivak called 1968 to 1990 the "golden era of gastrointestinal endoscopy" because so many devices and procedures were developed in this period. New endoscopic techniques arose primarily from direct collaborations between clinicians and artisan-engineers. Advances mostly stemmed from incorporating technologies developed for other disciplines, such as the CCD. Around 1980, endoscopy was combined with ultrasonography for the first time. While previous innovations had improved only the visual inspection of the gut, endoscopic ultrasonography employed a new method of diagnosis. Sivak believes that the technology serves as a model for innovation and that future techniques will become more focused, perhaps on a single disease. However, nongastroenterologists have not completely accepted endoscopic ultrasonography because of a relative lack of controlled trials that would illustrate its benefit. The gastroenterological achievements between 1994 and 2004 were fewer in number than in the golden era, and few were advancements in diagnosis and treatment methods. Sivak cited a number of reasons why endoscopic technology may reach a plateau. Endoscopists are becoming older, and fewer new endoscopists are entering the field. Manufacturers of endoscopes and of related devices are becoming larger but decreasing in number. Additionally, endoscopic research has received less federal funding. Sivak blamed the lack of funding on the failure of researchers to design clinical trials that demonstrate the benefit of endoscopic technology. He predicted several things for endoscopy. Nurses will perform routine procedures instead of physicians, reducing the latter's workloads. Endoscopes will be designed for hands-free operation, enabling more complex therapeutic procedures. A variety of combined laparoscopic-endoscopic procedures will be developed. Sivak also foretold that several biological detection methods may change endoscopy, including optical coherence tomography, laser-induced light scattering technology, light-induced fluorescence microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, endoscopy may be used with photodynamic therapy. Computer advancements, including better training simulators, will improve endoscopy as well. Ultimately, Sivak believes that traditional diagnostic endoscopy may be replaced by a combination of virtual imaging and capsule endoscopy. (Gut, August 2006, pp. 1061-1064).

Providing short-term and long-term outpatient treatment for adults who have found that conventional medications-based treatments alone are not effective in controlling their pain.
What to Expect
Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of your life, from your ability to work and maintain relationships to shopping for food and making the bed. Chronic pain can arise for many reasons, including:
- back pain from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and other problems
- joint pain from arthritis
- disorders such as fibromyalgia
- headaches
- neuropathy (nerve pain)
- past injuries.
Unlike acute pain, the severity of chronic pain is not related to the amount of damage to the body. This pain does not serve a protective function and may cause significant impairment in daily life. Long term use of opioids, and other pain medications, can make the brain more sensitive to these signals, further increasing the experience of pain.
While traditional pain management programs depend on powerful medications and other strategies to relieve pain, our program seeks to help patients tap into the innate power of the mind-body connection. We do this through a variety of proven techniques including:
- mindful movement/Tai Chi, breathing
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- relaxation training using biofeedback
- daily activity planning
- mindfulness and guided visualization.
Chronic pain is generally considered pain that lasts for more than six months. It can be mild or excruciating, constant or episodic, inconvenient or debilitating.
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain, and it can take a huge toll on people both physically and emotionally.
Chronic pain can originate from an injury (a fall, for example), an infection, or an illness (cancer, for example). Some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of past injury or illness.
It's possible to suffer chronic pain stemming from two or more sources at one time.
Chronic pain is often associated with conditions including:
- arthritis
- lower back problems
- headache
- shingles
- nerve damage
- fibromyalgia
- multiple sclerosis.

1746 words today, almost all of them were written this evening. That's a total of 28,326 words for NaNo so far and finally I'm getting a bit of a feel for this world and I'm letting myself get sucked into it properly now. I'm writing stuff which normally I'd be afraid to write because it is pretty out there, but that's what I've got to do. It's no worse than some of the stuff I've read and it feels pretty genuine as it's coming out.
I'm aiming for a good word count tomorrow as I'm not expecting to write much on Wednesday as I have plans.
Right, I'm gonna watch Mad Max: Fury Road then call it a night. As always, I'm PeterJReaper over on NaNoWriMo. My Facebook and Twitter links are on the right hand side of the screen.
Have fun, everyone 🙂

About 2 days ago i spotted a 85 Olds CC wagon for a couple hundred on CL. 86K, new brakes exahust from engine back brake and gas lines. went to look at it today. Rusty, but not that rusty for an 85 up north. Motor sounded great, what other things should I look out for on these? Also optioned kinda weird: power locks and driver's seat, but crank windows and no rear defroster, also no 3rd seat option. Original Delco non-digital am/fm tape player and the tape player still works! vinyl/leather seats. It also has the CHMSL so I guess it wasn't just the early FWD Devilles that were the first to get that it has a build date of.
