No matter what type of business you do and regardless of how small or large that business is, chances are at one point in time you will need to contact a creative agency. Whether you are trying to design a pamphlet or put together a brochure, in search of someone to assist with website design, organizing a new advertising campaign or perhaps trying to get some new ideas, a creative company can help in your business endeavors.
A creative agency is not just highly proficient and experienced in recognizing, planning and implementing a broad range of marketing activities, but also can take a step back and evaluate your brand as a whole. This often enables the agency to spot opportunities where you would possibly not. Working with an efficient agency can open up opportunities for your business by gaining insight from well-versed professionals who have worked with numerous companies like yours.
To identify great and ideal marketing techniques, the agency will spend quality time with you to discuss your brand, previous marketing techniques, your target audience and your budget. Learning as much about your company will enable the agency to better communicate a message that is consistent with your values. While simply hiring a graphic design firm to handle basic brochures design or ads design for you, they won't be able to perform their task suitably and create compelling artwork without having a good understanding of what your company is about and who your target audience is.
Another benefit is the fact that the agency may likely have a complete in-house team, which means you can relax knowing that they can meet all your requirements. Moreover, they are often experienced in a lot of business sectors with more remarkable credentials. Nonetheless, an important consideration when shopping for design agency is their location, because having the ability to meet face-to-face with your agency can facilitate the creative process and enable you, the client, to feel a lot more involved in the task and be part of the team. A great place to start is online by searching for something similar to 'design agencies New York' – or just about anywhere you are located.
So, just like almost anything in life, when hiring creative agency you truly get what you pay for. Vast experience, industry insight, creative talent, as well as the ability to deliver campaigns on schedule and on budget can be invaluable to your organization. Cutting corners may perhaps save some money; however, what you lose in return might cost you a lot more in the long run.
Advertflair is a creative agency based out of New York covering all areas of branding, digital, and print. The top-tier digital design agency is dedicated to branding new companies and re-branding existing businesses.

Roving Teen Reporter:
Social Competition
Sammy Hallal | Torrey Pines High School Senior
Whether it's Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat, or older sites like MySpace and LinkedIn, social media platforms have changed the way we communicate. Rather than face to face, people now communicate from screen to screen, especially considering that 81% of Americans have a social media profile, with people ages 16 to 24 spending the most time online, according to Statista.
Although social media use is not exclusive to teenagers, to some outside of our age group it may seem like we are all obsessed with our phones and stuck in a bubble, and this is not necessarily the case. Social media sites have given us a new way to keep in touch with friends, expand social circles and express ourselves.
"I use Instagram and Snapchat pretty often, maybe a little too often," Ali, a student at Francis Parker School said. "Still, I think it's a great way to see what all my peers are up to as well as share some of my own personal experiences."
Many of my friends even have multiple accounts on one social media platform, particularly on Instagram. One account is for a wider audience, where people post more generic posts, while the other is for their closest friends. On the second account, teens share a less filtered and more realistic version of their lives.
"The problem with online profiles like Instagram is that what you see isn't an accurate representation of [the users'] actual lives," said John, a student at Cathedral Catholic High School. "They focus on trying to look cool to all of their followers and it's basically just a competition to see who has the best life."
When people post pictures that make their life seem much more glamorous than it actually is, it often leads to jealousy between peers, which just gets teens caught in a feedback loop of posting and sharing images that will get them the most likes and not what is real. In a study at University of California, Los Angeles, researchers monitored the brains of teenagers while they used an app resembling Instagram. The team found that each time a student received a like or a comment it activated four regions of the brain, especially its reward center.
"A few weeks ago I decided to take a weeklong break from all social media because I started to think I might be addicted," Kirsten, a student at Torrey Pines High School, said. "It wasn't until then that I realized the amount of social media that I use… and I'm happy I did it."
Just like in the real world, people often search for ways to make their life appear more glamorous than it actually is, and social media makes this very easy. The owner of a profile has complete control over what to post, and can therefore paint whatever picture he or she wants, no matter how far off the truth it is. The challenge faced by teenagers, including myself, is to find a balance between our real lives and our online ones.

Presentation by Pepe Raventós, Winemaker and wine grower at Raventós i Blanc, and Manu Jimenez, Best Sommelier in Spain in 2017. The following wine growers will take part:
- Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, Champagne Larmandier-Bernier, France.
- Nicolas Chiquet, Champagne Gaston Chiquet, France.
- Pierre Bettinger, Champagne Leclerc Briant, France.
- Martin eta Anna Arndorfer, Weingut Fuchs und Hase – Austria.
A presentation on biodynamic agriculture – or the recovery of the viticulture practised by our ancestors – applied to the best vineyards in the world to obtain a great wine, which is nothing more than a wine that reflects its original characteristics, what makes it more local, different, authentic and unique.
This tasting will be a tribute to winemakers who work faithfully in this organic and biodynamic agriculture, ensuring maximum respect for the typical characteristics that the climate, soils and varieties bring to their wines, thus allowing nature to express itself to its fullest potential.
This trend is currently the driving force behind a new generation of winegrowers, whose aim is to make a wine that transports us to where it comes from and to the vintage.
Sparkling wines that are full of flavour, but also full of origin: cold, warm, temperate, acidic, fresh, mineral…
A great wine should not be perfect, because nature is not perfect either.

Catering social enterprise hits £55k crowdfunding goal to get permanent home.
Fat Macy's are boosting their ability to train homeless youths in catering skills with a new restaurant and training centre in London.
Catering social enterprise Fat Macy's now have all the ingredients they need to open a new permanent home after reaching their £55,000 crowdfunding goal.
The firm currently cook up supper clubs which train young homeless Londoners in catering skills, allowing them to serve three-course meals while also rustling up grub for corporate events.
"We'll now be able to work towards our dream of opening our first permanent space for Fat Macy's, and working to end the cycle of homelessness for young Londoners"
All staff working with Fat Macy's earn 'credits' which then go towards a housing deposit and a step-to-step programme that helps them to learn how to live independently.
The credits earned by volunteering with the firm sees staff becoming eligible for a housing deposit grant after 150 hours' service, giving the 12-20 Londoners the firm are aiming to help initially the opportunity to move into their own flat.
Working at Fat Macy's helps homeless people to get out of the catch-22 situation of living in temporary accommodation where the costs of rent can outstrip income and halt progression into permanent accommodation.
Now, they are planning to use the £55,635 cash injection from the crowdfunding campaign that they set up in August to create a permanent home.
Plans are in place for a new all-day restaurant based in Peckham in south-east London that will also have room for a training centre and community hub to allow the social enterprise to diversify their offerings.
Moving on from their Mexican, Jamaican and Middle-Eastern-themed events, the plan for the restaurant is to offer breakfast, coffee and lunch all day before turning into a bar in the evening with small tapas-style dishes.
Meg Doherty, Fat Macy's founder, said: "We're beyond thrilled at the level of support and enthusiasm there has been for our crowdfunding campaign, and cannot quite believe we've made our target!
"Thanks to every single person who supported us, donated and tweeted, we'll now be able to work towards our dream of opening our first permanent space for Fat Macy's, and working to end the cycle of homelessness for young Londoners."
The SEUK Awards are just around the corner and you can help us by voting to pick the winner of the Consumer Facing Social Enterprise category.
Cast your vote by midnight on November 5 to see who walks away with the prize at the November 23 ceremony.

I have used Hackintool, and would use it in the future at a Minimum to at least map the ports out. However, I like the non kext method, just because kexts may no longer work in the future. Based on the USB file in your old EFI you had High Speed/HS-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and Super Speed/SS-1,2,3,4,5,6.Have you ever used the Hackintool to properly patch the USB? I'm trying to run it now. See if that makes any difference. I just don't know if I need turn turn on or off any settings in my config? I deleted the patched SSDT so it wouldn't conflict. I guess we'll see if I can follow the directions. lol

Paperback - Secondhand Books - Very Good Condition
9780062122841 Bestselling author and renowned Buddhist teacher Noah Levine adapts the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eight Fold Path into a proven and systematic approach to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—an indispensable alternative to the 12-step program. While many desperately need the help of the 12-step recovery program, the traditional AA model's focus on an external higher power can alienate people who don't connect with its religious tenets. Refuge Recovery is a systematic method based on Buddhist principles, which integrates scientific, non-theistic, and psychological insight. Viewing addiction as cravings in the mind and body, Levine shows how a path of meditative awareness can alleviate those desires and ease suffering. Refuge Recovery includes daily meditation practices, written investigations that explore the causes and conditions of our addictions, and advice and inspiration for finding or creating a community to help you heal and awaken. Practical yet compassionate, Levine's successful Refuge Recovery system is designed for anyone interested in a non-theistic approach to recovery and requires no previous experience or knowledge of Buddhism or meditation.

(An Iranian bank note modified by Green Movement member; A re-write of a saying on the left side, which says 'Iranian people will find "knowledge" no matter where – Prophet Muhammad' – changed to say 'Iranian people will find "justice" no matter where'; photo credit: NIAC Insight)
This is a guest note exclusive to The Washington Note by Iran expert and well-known diplomatic correspondent Barbara Slavin, author of Bitter Friends, Bosom Enemies: Iran, the U.S. and the Twisted Path to Confrontation.
Barbara Slavin will be speaking today at a New America Foundation forum titled "What do Iranians Really Think?" featuring New America Foundation Geopolitics of Energy Initiative Director and Race for Iran publisher Flynt Leverett, World Public Opinion Director Steven Kull, Washington Post Director of Polling Jon Cohen, and Iran expert and The Ayatollah Begs to Differ commentator Hooman Majd. Steve Clemons will moderate the meeting which starts at 12:15 pm today and will air live here at The Washington Note
Dawn of a New Iran?
Iran is now marking the "10 days of dawn" – the period from Feb. 1 to Feb. 11, 1979 that began with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's triumphant return from exile and ended with the fall of the Shah's last government. During these days, Iranian state television typically runs old footage of adoring crowds greeting Khomeini and of the Shah's soldiers firing on peaceful protesters during the final days of the revolution. This year, however, the bloody bits are not on view.
An Iranian acquaintance tells me that state TV is only showing "calm rallies" from the 1978-79 uprising. "They are focusing on the people who were totally obeying Khomeini," my friend says, and also deriding those who "betrayed the revolution" and who later fled or were executed by the regime.
The message for Iran's restive populace is clear: forget staging another revolution.
The regime wants Iranians to behave themselves on Feb. 11, "Revolution Day," when crowds are encouraged to go into the streets in support of the government. In Tehran, thousands usually congregate in Freedom Square, the central plaza where the Shah erected a huge white concrete arch to celebrate Iran's pre-Islamic achievements and to glorify his soon-to-be ended rule.
I've been to three Revolution Day celebrations in Freedom Square and I know the drill: The president gives a rousing speech proclaiming Iran's independence and decrying evil foreigners who conspire against it. A man known as "the minister of slogans" leads the crowd in chanting "Death to America," "Death to Israel" and "Death to" whatever other target is annoying the regime at the time. Peddlers mill about selling candy and balloons. School kids and factory workers, who are given the day off, are bussed into the square to fill out the frame for state television and foreign media.
This year promises a different sort of spectacle. Despite the pointed propaganda on TV — and the execution this week of two political prisoners — hundreds of thousands if not millions of Iranians are likely to take to the streets to demand their civil and human rights.
The government will be hard-pressed to distinguish loyalists from the opposition in the throngs. Will authorities arrest people wearing green? In the past, students bussed to Freedom Square have worn green headbands proclaiming Iran's right to nuclear energy.
But green is now the color of the movement that has swept Iran since presidential elections last June 12 gave a fraud-tainted "landslide" victory to incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Coverage of this year's event in Freedom Square presents another quandary for the government. Foreign media is almost certain to be heavily restricted and Iranian state media will likely censor any protests. But that will not stop citizen journalists with cellphones from capturing images and sending them around the world via social networking sites.
For sure, there will be clashes. Another Iranian acquaintance tells me that the government is refusing any compromise despite conciliatory feelers in recent days from opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi.
If the opposition, which has already shown its power on Jerusalem Day, Students Day and Ashura, manages to dominate the scene on the Islamic Republic's most important national holiday, it will be a powerful boost for the Green Movement's morale and momentum.
No one can say how long Iran's creaky theocracy cum military autocracy will survive this outpouring of popular outrage and frustration. Mass arrests, selective assassinations and even prison rapes have only fed the opposition's anger and resolve.
For those who have been privileged to spend time in Iran among its extraordinarily welcoming people, this is a moment of great hope and anticipation. Iranians deserve a better government and perhaps in the not so distant future, they will finally get one.

KSP 2009 2009 R4.2 Crack + Activation Code Download 2020
Although you can nowadays enjoy your favorite songs from the comfort of your web browser without having to keep other applications active, you might want to keep an organized collection of songs and preferred artists on your hard disk drive. Needless to say that playing them requires specialized applications, with the market being flooded by such products, one of which is KSP 2009.
You're greeted by a pretty organized interface, with the upper toolbar holding playback controls, progress and volume sliders, while the rest of the space is taken up by your playlist and setup menu. Accommodation is done instantly, with an audio file already included as a preview.
Download KSP 2009 Crack & Serial
The application comes with several plugins that are used to enhance the already rich list of supported file types. You can view and manage them from the settings menu, where it's also possible to associate the application with file types it can play, such as AAC, AIF, APE, MP3, MID, WAV, OGG, WMA, MPP, MOD, MP4, FLAC and more.
If the set of features tickles your fancy, you can use existing playlists to quickly set up your new environment. What's more, it's possible to simply drag files over the playlist area to get them ready. The new list can be saved and there's even a search field to quickly find songs of interest.
More flexibility is encountered as you discover what's hidden under each menu entry. Sound can be recorded as it plays and this comes in handy considering you can also provide radio streams by pasting the appropriate URL. For more effects, several presets can be set on an equalizer, which can also be manually adjusted, but with no options to save custom configurations.
When not used or while playing, the application can be set to stay hidden in the system tray. A small window pops up whenever a new songs kicks in. The only thing missing is hotkey support, and there aren't even playback buttons attached to the tray menu for more comfort.
All things considered, we can safely state that KSP 2009 Crack comes as a powerful alternative to leading dinosaurs on the media player market. It might look and feel a little rough around the edges, but it's packed with various utilities, such as clever playlist manager and tons of file types you can add, making it worth a try overall.

Book: Old Man Goya
Old Man Goya
|Julia Blackburn
In 1792, when he was forty-seven, the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya contracted a serious illness that left him stone deaf. In this extraordinary book, Julia Blackburn follows Goya through the remaining thirty-five years of his life. It was a time of political turmoil, of war, violence, and confusion, and Goya transformed what he saw around him into visionary paintings, drawings, and etchings. These were also years of tenderness for Goya, of intimate relationships with the Duchess of Alba and with Leocadia, his mistress, who accompanied him to the end.
Blackburn's singular distinction as a biographer is her uncanny ability to create a kaleidoscope of biography, memoir, history, and meditation—to think herself into another world. In Goya she has found the perfect subject. Visiting the towns Goya frequented, reading the revelatory letters that he wrote for years to a boyhood friend, investigating the subjects he portrayed, Julia Blackburn writes about the elderly painter with the intimacy of an old friend, seeing through his eyes and sharing the silence in his head.
With unprecedented immediacy and illumination, Old Man Goya gives us an unparalleled portrait of the artist.

The Lucky Horseshoe
|Peak Summited
|Horseshoe Mountain
|Silver Horseshoe Road
The forecast for the day of the hike was "freezing fog and light snow, with 20+ mph winds". The morning of I had fought with myself as to whether I was going to attempt this solo or try again on a better day. Since it's the beginning of October, I decided that there wouldn't be a better day and that it could just get worse. Despite being super apprehensive about potentially bad weather driving up, it was mostly sunny at the trailhead when I finally parked and began my ascent. My first thought was "Huh, this doesn't seem so bad", as my last two peaks (Gray's and Sherman) were quite a challenge. I made it up to the summit in 2.5 hours with just a bit of wind and some very light snow.
As soon as I made it to the summit, the weather turned. Suddenly there were clouds all around me (and unfortunately, no good peak views) and the wind became my biggest challenge. There were several times on my descent that I had to plant myself on the ground with my poles to avoid being knocked over by major gusts of wind, and by the time I got back to my car it was snowing heavily.
Definitely want to come back to this one when the weather is better (or maybe even on a windless snowy day!!).

If you walk past the water tap then you have come ashore via the pontoon and therefore owe £1. Of course, if you can't afford it then you are free to scramble up the seaweed-covered rocks to save a pound.
What was there before the pontoon was put in? If it was the only reasonable landing place other than seaweed covered rocks, I certainly wouldn't feel remotely obliged to hand over a pound.

Book Review: The Forsaken Throne
The Kingfountain series
By Jeff Wheeler
Spoiler Alert!
A devastating disaster has left the Forbidden Court in ashes, its fountains destroyed, and its magic at risk. It was destined as the site of Trynne Kiskaddon's coronation as empress. Now, all Trynne can imagine is the roar of flames, the cries of Gahalatine's people, and the smell of cinders in a city gone dark. Tragic as the threat to Kingfountain is, it's nowhere near as foul as the treachery posed by Morwenna. Saboteur, conspirator, and full-blood sister of the king, she is prepared to set forth a wave of destruction that will eliminate everything that stands between her and possession of the throne.
But Trynne has her weapons, too—her magic, her resilience, her skills at intrigue, and especially, Fallon. The man who once swore his allegiance to Morwenna now stands by Trynne's side as they venture into the unknown to protect those they love, reunite with a family scattered by diabolical forces, and safeguard a kingdom…as well as the destiny the Fountain has for each of them.

Adult Point of View
I received an ARC for The Forsaken Throne and this is my honest review. Thank you to Jeff Wheeler and NetGalley for providing me with this book.
I will tell you the good and bad news right at the beginning, so you can relax and read the rest of the review. Bad news first, is that The Forsaken Throne is the last in the Kingfountain series, but the good news is that Wheeler is giving us another prequel! Look for The Poisoner's Enemy which focuses on Ankarette Tryneowy before she saved Owen's life scheduled to come out January 9th 2018.
If you have followed the reviews for the Kingfountain series, you all ready know I am a fan. I was quite worried that after I have loved the entire series that I would feel let down by The Forsaken Throne, because there were so many threads that needed to be tidied up. I hoped the characters would stay true to themselves or show growth. I was very happy with the conclusion.
From the opening dialog, the reader has his fears confirmed that Morwenna has been deceitful from the beginning. Combined with the opening scene, between Trynne and her new husband, I could tell it was going to be a rough ride. I love it when a book is fraught with tension. I was shocked that Gahaltine wouldn't have had more faith in his wife, whom he had respected and outwitted the Wizr council to marry. The controlling Wizrs did a very good spin job to have Gahaltine turned so thoroughly against Trynne. It was an essential plot move because a book about countries rebuilding after a war would have been tedious. Once that plot device was established, I was turned for another loop with a twist plot. Wheeler is a master of building tension! By the end of the book I felt more compassion for Gahaltine than I would have expected; he showed growth in this final book that meshed well with his character's voice.
In the previous novel, The Silent Shield, readers were left on tenterhooks wanting to know what was happening with Owen. The facts, as we knew them, were that he had been imprisoned, his memory taken, his power suppressed and he had escaped and was fighting in an army. The questions were; what army and who did he serve, how could his memory be restored and how could he return safely to his homeland? Even without his memory intact, Owen was true to his basic nature. He analyzed the facts he had for the best solution, served with honor and sought the truth. He remained open to discovery, which was a key for him to be saved. I did not expect Owen's location as a prisoner, however, the author did lay a solid foundation and it was logical (I had originally thought he was in Gahaltine's court – which I suspect the author had hoped). I love it when an author surprises me with a plot twist!
Trynne is one of my favorite characters along with Owen, and the Maid of Donremy through the series. Trynne has faced challenge after challenge, and even when she wants to give up, she doesn't. She is blessed with the gift of having loyal friends, sort of – if they are not ensorcelled by evil wizrs. Trynne learns how to draw on her inner strength as her life falls apart. Her mother has been called by a vision to sail to the Deep Fathoms, her father is imprisoned, her husband has been estranged from her through deceit, her lands, with all her subject whom she loves, will be destroyed if she leaves for a long period of time. To top off everything else, her own king doubts her loyalty. Trynne has relied on Fallon many times, doubted him and is drawn back to him. She permanently gave up Fallon to save her nation by marrying King Gahaltine, where once again Wheeler dashed the hopes of all readers of a happy romance. In The Forsaken Throne, Fallon and Trynne are thrown together again, and because they are both people with morals we know, as the reader, that they will not break their commitments. Will there ever be a happy ending for Trynne? So, here is the spoiler – there is a happy ending, mixed with sadness for Trynne.
I am also fascinated by the Fountain in this series. Generally, a force of nature is not seen as a character, but in this case it is such a defining element, I believe the fountain can be seen as an over-arching character. The fountain-blessed aren't given a gift from the Fountain based upon their own good nature. Each person chooses how they use the gift they were given, and some individuals choose wickedness rather than goodness. Even so, the Fountain directs the recipients of the gifts, IF they are willing to listen. The Fountain reminds me of the Bible expression that roughly states; the rain falls on both the good and the wicked. So often in books, a force like the Fountain, would be bestowed only upon those who are worthy of the blessing, consequently, the Fountain in this series is more mysterious and opens up many plot possibilities. Wouldn't it be fun to have a chapter where the reader could hear the Fountain's thoughts?
Jeff Wheeler suggests that it would be beneficial, for undisclosed reasons, to have read The Legends of Muirwood and Whispers of Mirrowen prior to ending this series. I had not read the other series and was still satisfied with reading The Forsaken Throne. Even so, I will go back and read the others.
I highly recommend this entire series. It is clean, the violence isn't over the top, and the plot is interesting, being woven through with history and Arthurian legends. It is also appropriate for high school and older, I believe children in middle-school would have a harder time following the plot complexity, though they could certainly give it a try.
If you have enjoyed Wheeler as an author I would highly recommend reading A Cast of Stones by Patrick W. Carr, The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I am confident that you will love their books.
Try The Lost Book Of The Grail by Charlie Lovett if you love Arthurian legends, though this one is not exactly a fantasy novel, it is well worth reading – I love the different stories lines.
A few older books to try would include The Raven Ring by Patricia C. Wrede, the Windrose Chronicles by Barbara Hambly, The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley and The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia Anne McKillip.

The Wounded Healer: Experiencing vulnerability, illness and death in the countertransference
9am - 12 noon
For many years, I've been interested in the impacts on the therapist's psyche and body of doing our kind of work. Although such impacts will be experienced personally, they are also deeply rooted in collective, social, political and even ethical dimensions of practice. Some impacts are positive, and these won't be neglected. But what has emerged is that, to paraphrase Freud, the therapy work is not only impossible, but also very difficult. Impacts range from the perception that the work has made us physically ill, to a range of psychological issues including apathy, depression and disassociation.
The idea of the Wounded Healer is constantly hovering, both literally and metaphorically. Yet this idea can also be abused so as to close down exploration of the Shadow aspects of being a therapist. Indeed, the claim that we therapists are Wounded Healers offers us a chance to engage in a whole range of secret power manoeuvres.
A natural extension of this interest has been to probe as deeply as possible into the choice of profession. Whether therapy is an art, a craft, a vocation, there isn't enough sharing and exploring in a safe and contained group setting of the reasons why we become therapists.

Winter is coming. (Signal Game of Thrones theme.) While you probably won't have to prepare quite the same way the Starks and Lannisters will, it's still critical to make sure your home is good to go for the cold. Here are a couple tips from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning to get you started.
Clear Space Surrounding Air Returns
You don't need cold air returns in the cold season right? Wrong. Verify your air returns (the bigger vents) are not obstructed and that air can flow smoothly through them. Your cold air returns are required to help your heating system run efficiently.
Update Your Windows
Windows are a common way that heat can seep out your home, so consider upgrading old or inefficient windows to help retain heat inside during the cooler months.
Replace Your Home's Air Filters
With sick season coming soon, you want to make sure you're doing all you can to keep your family in good health. For the sake of your indoor air, replace your furnace or duct air filter every 12 weeks. This will also help your equipment run more efficiently and save you energy, which means decreasing your utility bills.
Invest in an Energy-Efficient Heating System
If your furnace is older than ten years, it's most likely not nearly as energy-efficient as newer furnaces. Before the cold hits and you're stuck with a failing furnace or high utility bills, discuss replacing your system.
Buy a Whole-Home Humidifier
It may not sound right, but more humidity, particularly in northern climates, can result in your home's air feeling warmer than it is. Include the other benefits of reducing dry skin and static, and a whole-home humidifier may be the perfect addition to your HVAC system.
Get a Programmable Thermostat
We say it all the time – a programmable thermostat lowers your energy usage and bills no matter what temperature it is. A programmable thermostat will let you lower your home temperature while you are at work to help lower heating costs, and raise the temperature before you even get home to give you the right amount of home comfort.
Add or Upgrade Attic Insulation
Having the right amount of attic insulation helps retain heat during the winter, saving you energy because your heating system doesn't have to work as hard, and therefore saves you money by decreasing your energy bills. Check with your local utility companies about rebates for upgrading or installing your attic insulation.
Wrap Plumbing
If you insulate your hot water pipes, it can actually help raise the temperature two or three degrees. Hot water on a lower setting? That saves you energy and money – yes, please!
Get a Heating Tune-Up
Be sure your heating system is ready to keep your home warm and comfortable all winter long with an expert Precision tune-up from Service Experts. Currently we are giving discounts on our fall tune ups to help make sure your family stays warm and safe through the winter. Call 614-334-3192 today to schedule your seasonal tune-up or set up a no-charge in-home estimate on a new, energy-efficient HVAC system.

Kate and Paul Miller have a full house. Permanent residents in their Kennedale home include 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. But the Miller's say there is plenty of space for more.
About a month ago, they invited Bob into the family. He's a 6-month-old kitten in foster care who loves to play and cuddle. "They needed somebody quickly so we stepped in," said Kate. Through Dallas Pets Alive, they took him in with open arms.
Bob was two days away from being euthanized. He was sick and needed care and a place to stay. He was underweight, spent a lot of time at the hospital getting treatment, and had to get his tail amputated.
The family named him Bob after Bob Marley. They found hope in the lyrics "Everything's gonna be alright." They hoped that with a foster home, Bob would soon be alright.
The Miller's have now raised him into a healthy and happy kitten. Bob is ready to find his forever home.
Georgette, their 7-year-old daughter, knows how fostering can change lives. "I like to foster so we can save animals that are hurt or sick, that they don't get put down, said Georgette, "Animals are the best thing that God made ever."
This family has fostered 23 cats and dogs sand found all of them adoptive families.
"It brings so much to our lives because our kids are learning in a very small way how to love something that is not their and they know is going to leave. And they love it," Kate said.

The Buffalo Grove Fire Department is helping to spread the message about the importance of donating blood, especially during the summer months when donations are traditionally at their lowest. The Department is proudly hosting its annual blood drive with Vitalant (formerly LifeSource) at Fire Department Headquarters, 1051 Highland Grove Drive in Buffalo Grove on Friday, June 28, 2019 from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
All donors will receive a coupon for a free pint of custard courtesy of Culver's of Buffalo Grove. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged and can be made by calling 877-258-4825 or visiting vitalant.org and searching for Group Code 041D.
In preparation for their donation, donors are advised to eat well, stay hydrated and arrive with proper identification. The appointment takes about one hour, with the donation itself taking roughly 10 minutes and is both safe and comfortable. All blood types are needed, however, there's always a special need for type O blood. In emergency situations, when a patient's blood type isn't known, doctors reach for type O blood to sustain life until the patient can be stabilized. According to Vitalant, it takes between 24 and 36 hours to process, test and distribute each blood donation before it is delivered to hospitals.

K'mon, admit it!
You know exactly what I'm talking about here. The holidays come around and before you know it, they're over and done with, and you find yourself with unwanted 'gift' of a little excess 'Christmas Blubber'. So here are just a few (admittedly obvious) tips that you might find useful if you don't to start the New Year feeling like a cross between Kris Kringle and the Michelin Man.
- Watch your Alcohol intake: this one will sneak up on you. You might be pretty disciplined with all the other stuff on this list, but you'll be seeing people you may not have seen for a while, and the midst of all that catching up, somehow your glass is always full. By all means enjoy yourself, but remember: everything in moderation. You'll be glad you skipped all those 'empty calories'.
- Mind your portion sizes: it might seem a bit obvious, but if you're going to be attending more than one party, those calories really will start to pile up. Just pace yourself a little. If you eat slowly, you'll find you feel much more satiated. Don't fall into the mentality that yuletide gluttony is somehow mandatory – that is a surefire way to end the year sporting a pot-belly!
- Go easy on the gravy: I know; gravy is one of the best parts of any Xmas dinner. I personally love making gravy as much as I love eating it. But think about what goes into gravy. It's basically a whole tasty load of extra fat and carbs. Also, you don't really need all that much to flavor your turkey and roast potatoes. Just be aware is all I'm saying…
- Ease off on the sweets: I shouldn't have to say too much about this one; out of everything on a typical Xmas spread, it's the amounts of refined sugar that are really the most counter-productive to your health and fitness goals. Sugar is a drug, which combined with a happy, friendly environment like Xmas, will sneak up on you and bite you in the behind. You don't need to finish off every single mince-pie on that platter!
- Think Veggie: When you think Xmas dinner, you're probably not spending that much emotional energy craving the Brussel sprouts, are you? It's ok, I get it. But just because it's the holidays, you shouldn't be skipping out on your greens. Brussel Sprouts, in particular, are a pretty good option because in addition to all the nutrients in them, the fibre content will aid digestion. Remember, every time you sit down to a plate of meat and potatoes, you should ideally have some vegetables on that plate with them. I'm not trying to talk anyone into going vegan for Xmas, but just keep try and keep on top of it.
- There's nothing wrong with a little low-impact exercise: now, I'm not suggesting you run a marathon or hit the weights room over the jolly season; although if you want to do that, I wouldn't stop you. What I'm suggesting is that you perhaps consider going for a walk, having a kick-about in the garden; there is no reason to turn into a couch potato, and you might find that going into the holiday with a positive attitude might help to set you up for success in whatever your fitness goals for the New Year might be.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Leggings are a fashion rave this summer and very rarely do you find ladies, teen and adult alike not wearing one. It is a shame if you don't own one and more so if you don't know where to buy one. The vastly diverse Indian market is not new to leggings, given that most college-goers and professionals pair leggings with tops or skirts or even just on their own as pants. The demand for this fashion piece has just got bigger and bigger with time. With everyone purchasing a pair of leggings or two, do you actually stop to think what your leggings are actually made of? Most leggings are made of plastics or genetically modified (GM) cotton which poses greater health risks when it comes into contact with your skin.
GM cotton uses a lot of herbicides and pesticides to cultivate cotton and these chemicals stay in the cloth fabric even longer after the growing and manufacturing processes. Another issue is the addition of Formaldehyde in the preservation of items for shipping. The best alternative to GMC is organic cotton that spells a whole lot of environmental and health benefits. The demand for sustainable fashion has pushed more farmers to come up with innovative farming methods to grow organic cotton, and more brands to promote eco-fashion trends. Why not check Bitz India, the best place online to buy pure organic cotton leggings for women and kids?
BitzIndia boasts of a wide range of eco-friendly and ethical ladies and kids leggings with beautiful colours, patterns and designs this summer as we do our bit to make the world we live a little more sustainable. Our leggings that are reasonably priced make a sustainable piece for anyone's wardrobe. If you think sustainability and affordability can go together, think again as we always strive to give you the best bang for your bucks.

Why do vegans think it is ok to KILL plants? Are they supremicists?

What gives you the right to kill a plant?
Anonymous Coward 72091880
1. Animals have souls and personalities and are capable of unconditional love.
2. Plants can be easily cloned.
3. Let us begin by establishing the fact that Jesus made vegetarianism a requirement of discipleship and that he was himself a vegetarian In the Essene New Testament, Jesus declares:
link to www.towardsfreedom.com (secure)
Verily I say unto you, they who partake of benefits which are gotten by wronging one of God's creatures, cannot be righteous: nor can they understand holy things, or teach the mysteries of the kingdom. whose hands are stained with blood or whose mouths are defiled with flesh....Wherefore I say unto all who desire to be my disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths.
We see above that Jesus required vegetarianism from anyone who desired to become his disciple. Likewise, we read in another verse from the same manuscript:
A disciple of Jesus asked him a question, saying, "Master, if there come to us any that eat flesh... shall we receive them?"
And Jesus said unto him, let such abide in the outer court till they cleanse themselves from these grosser evils; for till they perceive, and repent of these, they are not fit to receive the higher mysteries.
Of course, Jesus practiced what he preached; he was himself a vegetarian. In fact, in the following verse he describes himself not only as a vegetarian, but as an Essene Fruitarian. Before sharing that verse with you, I will briefly define the term Essene Fruitarian (a bit later we will more fully define it). An Essene Fruitarian eats only the parts of a plant that can be eaten without killing the plant. This includes obvious fruits such as apples and oranges, but also includes anything else you can eat without killing the plant: squash, corn, cucumbers, etc. We will expand on this definition soon, but let us now consider the following verse in which Jesus describes himself not only as a vegetarian, but as an Essene Fruitarian:
For of the fruits of the trees and the seeds of the earth alone do I partake, and these are changed by the Spirit into my flesh and my blood. Of these alone and their like shall ye eat who believe in me, and are my disciples, for of these, in the Spirit, come life and health and healing unto man.
In the above excerpt, the term "and their like" refers to "other similar vegetarian foods" ; but it is quite clear that though Jesus only required basic vegetarianism from new disciples, he certainly strongly encouraged his veteran disciples to go on to become Essene fruitarians. That is made clear in the following excerpt from The Essene New Testament; Jesus said:
God giveth the grains and the fruits of the earth for food; and for righteous man truly there is no other lawful sustenance for the body.... For God is just and bountiful who ordaineth that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone.
Now a more detailed definition of the term Essene Fruitarian. We have already stated that an
Essene Fruitarian eats only the part of a plant that can be eaten without killing the plant.
Thus, not only the typical "fruits" can be eaten -- grapefruit, grapes, figs, dates, etc. -- but also corn, squash, broccoli, almonds, sunflower seeds, AND ANY OTHER VEGETARIAN FOOD YOU CAN EAT WITHOUT KILLING THE PLANT . Lettuce can be eaten if harvested correctly : simply pick the outer leaves of the lettuce, rather than uproot the plant. The lettuce will continue to grow more leaves and you can continue to harvest the outer leaves every few days. Eventually it will go to seed; you can harvest the seed for your next planting. Even grains such as wheat can be eaten, since it is not necessary to uproot the grass to harvest the grain. Although many Essene Fruitarians will choose to be vegan (a vegan is a vegetarian who eats no animal products at all, including dairy products)
Anonymous Coward 78167543
God gave permission to eat meat in new testament, do you even bible bro? Animals can be easily cloned also, remember that sheep? Unless you are a shrub, your opinion of what plants feel is moot.

Interpersonal Skills gives back to the community
December 19, 2017
The spirit of giving has infected the Interpersonal Skills students, who recently hosted a pancake feed at Longhorn Steakhouse to raise money to buy gifts for infants and children whose parents are training at the Flint Hills Job Corps Center.
A requirement of the IPS class is for mentor students to give back to the community with service hours. They have also organized events such as working at all of the home football and basketball games.
"I volunteered to raise money at the pancake feed and then we all chose to go and give the gifts after wrapping them together," senior Josie Hilgers said, "and it was a really fun experience."
After raising money at Longhorn Steakhouse each student got assigned a kid and they were given a budget of $75 to purchase gifts for the children. Ironically, some students who participated in the event ran into the problem of not being able to find enough gifts to use all of their budget.
After the students were finished purchasing the gifts, they were allowed to personally wrap them and then the following week they were able to bring them to Job Corps. They watched as several children opened up the many gifts that they had bought them.
"[Watching the kids open the presents] almost made me cry," senior Chrissy Carr said. "It was super fun, just seeing the look on the kids face and their parents face and it's just something that I will hold in my heart forever. I know that's something that a lot of people can take away from this event. It was just enjoyable to watch them open gifts that you took time to buy and wrap and the kids enjoyed it too."
Despite it being a requirement, this was not the only reason students participated in the event.
"It was really good," Hilgers said. "It was fun to raise a lot of money and then be able to give it back to the community to people who actually need it more than us. I enjoy volunteering; I had a good time."

City Tree Tending
DM Mayor Sherryl L. Parks
Del Mar uses West Coast Arborists to tend our trees. Presently the city has a total of 1408 trees. West Coast Arborists have a computer program which tells us the exact location of each of our trees; the type of tree it is; the height/width of the tree; and the general condition of that tree. We are now able to record the last time the tree had been treated, trimmed or whatever was needed to maintain its health.
The city's trees are trimmed and monitored on a rotating basis with the village divided into 3 separate areas. Each area gets full treatment and this year the city will tend to the 443 trees on Stratford Court from 15th St. to 4th Streets and the Del Mar North Hill off 15th Street.
The city recently hired Andy Spurlock to consult with us on our 1996-98 Streetscape Plan. He has already met with sub committee representatives from the Parks & Recreation and the Business Support Advisory Committee (TPAC) to update our plan. This group will make sure we use 'Complete Streets' planning recommending state of the art best pedestrian and biking opportunities. Spurlock is the firm hired to do our landscape plan for city hall and therefore the design will complement that effort as well.
Technology is allowing the city care for our city's landscaping much more efficiently. On the city's website are two maps showing the trimming schedules and the dates you can expect to see West Coast Arborists in your neighborhood.
If you want to determine if the tree belongs to the city or is privately owned you could email firstname.lastname@example.com . Be sure to give exact address of the particular tree you are wondering about.

About Ryan Chamberlain
Julep September 2016 Spoilers
Ryan Chamberlain replied to Reija's topic in JulepI only got one polish out of the new collection. That was Acacia (the bright chrome blue) Then I got Alysha (from August swapped in because I didn't get it the month before), and Francine as my main box. Then added on Lucy, Virginia, and Mallory (Which, I am painting my nails with right now and really like)
Julep October 2016 Spoilers
Ryan Chamberlain replied to Reija's topic in JulepAfter last month's box shipping so late for me. I wasn't sure whether or not to get this month's box or not. But, with the free top coat and enough jules to get 2 free add ons, I bit. So, I customized and got Ebony, Krystle, and Katya as my main box. And, then added on Judy, Laurel, and Jade with my own money. Then, added on Neely and Regina with my Jules. Lots of polish this go around...Hopefully, I'll get my box before October 12th (I got my last one 9/12....ridiculous)
I like that. Nice and blue. I'm currently in the process of painting my nails with Sienna for the first time. So far, I like it.
Sadly. I didn't take one before I removed it and put on something else.
Guys. I was so mad my insomnia was keeping me up. But, then I saw bonita's post about the 400 jules polishes and got Paula for absolutely free. That's a color I've been wanting for a while too. Early bird caught the worm. Maybe insomnia isn't too bad. Thanks for telling everyone about that 400 jules deal @@bonita22 . You rock.
I'm wearing Rae for the first time since I got it. I like it.
I was only going to take it this month if the It Girl colors were good. But, they are not. So bland. I don't get it. February's collection is normally great. But, not this time. The other boxes aren't that great either. I have some very similar colors from Julep already. Skipping.
Julep Dupes
Ryan Chamberlain replied to Lumaday's topic in JulepPrincess Grace is a 95%-100% dupe of OPI's Where Did Suzi's Man-go. I swatched them together when I got my Nailed It set. And, I couldn't tell any difference. Also. Phoebe is very close to Urban Decay's Deep End. Though, different enough to justify having both.
Glam Roc. Which is one of my favorite Juleps.
Glamoflauge looked like a good one. Enjoy your stuff too.
I got the Nailed It set. Seemed like the best deal to me. 12 minis. And, I only have one of those colors (Eliana...and I love it enough to justify a backup) I like your picks too. Hope you end up with something nice if you go ahead and pull the switch on ordering.
Nail Polish you're wearing right now?
Ryan Chamberlain replied to Salope's topic in Nail TalkOPI's "OPI Red" with OPI's "Jade Is The New Black" and Julep "Tazeen" on my ring fingers. Red, Gold, and Green...I'm like the karma chameleon. LOL!
Does anyone know if Julep is going to have an after Christmas sale this year?
What's Your Favorite Polish Formula?
Ryan Chamberlain replied to greendaisy's topic in Nail TalkTextured polishes like Liquid Sands and Pixiedusts. They are easy to work with and dry lightning fast.
Avni with Max on top of it on my ring fingers. It looks pretty good. I just don't have a way to take a picture right now. Sorry.

Braves acquire Trevor Cahill from Diamondbacks
The Braves have been one of the busiest teams in baseball over the past six months, and that trend continued on Thursday when Atlanta acquired right-handed starter Trevor Cahill from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Atlanta sends minor league outfielder Josh Elander to Arizona in exchange for Cahill. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, one source has indicated that the Braves will only be responsible for $5.5 million of Cahill's $12 million salary.
Cahill, 27, began his career with the Oakland Athletics and was an All-Star in 2010, when he turned in an 18-8 record to go along with a sparkling 2.97 ERA. The going has been a rougher since then.
After signing a five-year, $30.5 million extension with the A's, Cahill was shipped to Arizona in a five-player trade prior to the 2012 season. He won 13 games during his first season with the Diamondbacks, but his win totals continued to fall as his ERA and opponents' batting averages were on the rise. Cahill went just 3-12 with a 5.61 ERA in 110-2/3 innings last season. He was demoted from the rotation in mid-April, was designated for assignment in mid-June and accepted a minor league assignment shortly thereafter. Cahill made seven starts in the minors before rejoining Arizona in mid-July.
The righty has been working on mechanical adjustments this spring in hopes of curtailing the walks that have plagued him at times, particularly last season when he turned in a career-worst rate of 4.5 BB/9. He has issued five walks against 10 strikeouts in his 10 innings of Cactus League play, turning in a 3.60 ERA in four appearances (three starts). Cahill's contract includes a pair of option years, though Atlanta is unlikely to pick up either. He is due $12 million guaranteed in 2015, with options of $13 million in 2016 ($300,000 buyout) and $13.5 million in 2017 ($500,000 buyout).
Elander, 24, has yet to play above A-ball since being selected by Atlanta in the sixth round of the 2012 draft out of Texas Christian University. He boasts a a .275/.356/.435 slash line in 870 career plate appearances, hitting .293 with 15 homers and 93 RBI between Low-A Rome and High-A Lynchburg in 2013. Elander battled a shoulder injury and hit just .219 with two home runs in 37 games last season with the Hillcats.
With Cahill in the fold, Atlanta will continue to evaluate its options for the final rotation spot. On Friday, the team released veteran Wandy Rodriguez, who signed a minor league deal which included an opt-out clause if he was not added to the major league roster by April 3. Rodriguez, 36, has dealt with knee and arm injuries over the past two seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates and made just 18 starts, which likely factored into Atlanta's decision. He turned in 2-0 record with a 3.13 ERA in six starts this spring, walking eight and striking out 23 in 23 innings of work.
Fellow lefty Eric Stults also signed a minor league contract and holds that same opt-out clause, but remains in camp as of early Friday afternoon. The 35-year-old is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA in 19 innings, walking just four but striking out only seven. He stands a good chance of being named the team's fifth starter, though rookie Mike Foltynewicz has been in the competition as well and makes his final start in Saturday's Grapefruit League finale. Either man could factor into Atlanta's bullpen mix as well.
