Baby I came to see me for her 8 month pictures! Â she has grown so much since her newborn and 4 month pictures. Â Hard to believe I will be photographing her 1 year pictures soon-not too soon momma 😉 Â She's such a little doll, last time I saw her she wasn't sitting up yet and now she's got it down pat!
A was great to work with, I have taken their family pictures and her sisters senior pictures in the past. So it was fun to work with her for her senior pictures. We took images at her family's home and some in the nearby town. The weather was perfect for pictures. At the very end of the shoot we got attacked by a TON of mosquitos!
You may remember little Miss I from her newborn session, she came to see me for her 4 month pictures. Â She's gotten so big and animated! Â I love watching my baby plan babies grow!
This beautiful, awesome, fun, loving couple is getting married ONE WEEK from today!!! Â I'm a little excited cause it just happens to be my best friend and I am photographing their wedding! Â They are so in love and so perfect for each other! Â I've been seeing little sneak peek over the past few months of the wedding and so excited to see it all come together and see them become husband and wife!
I was referred by my mom, Shelley, from Colonial Hairstyling. I see that you do not typically do weddings- are you looking to expand or would you consider taking one on next summer? We are also interested in engagement pictures. If you have any pricing information you could pass along, that would be great!
PINIMAGE She also happens to be my neighbor and awesome babysitter! She watches my kids for me and they just love her to pieces! (if you're in the Dundee area and need a sitter let me know, she's awesome!) It was so much fun doing her senior pictures and seeing her really come through on camera. There has never been a time that I have seen her not smiling! It's one of those contagious smiles!
If you are a friend of hers ask her how you can save on YOUR senior session!

Why You Should Play Tabletop Games Alone
Michelle | A Geek Girl's Guide	August 9, 2016 5 Comments
Tabletop gaming is very much a communal activity, to play with friends and family as a group. So it sounds a little weird to play them alone. But, it can actually be really good for you.
If it is a game you have the intention of playing with others, it's good to play alone to get a handle of the mechanics in order to better teach it. It is a lot easier tot each a game when you already know how to play.
Develop Strategies
If the game is super about strategy and has multiple methodologies behind playing, playing solo is a good way to figure out what works best for you and the mechanics. Strategy can take years to master, so if you don't have a regular group to play with, solo gaming can help speed up that process.
Test New Games
Sometimes there is a new game that looks super interesting, but you're not sure if it will be a hit or not. Playing alone can help you figure out if the game is enjoyable for you and others you play with.
What is your favorite board game? Let me know with a comment.

I never had friends when younger (still don't while older) so I used to play all my board games alone. Used to use dice to simulate "choices" for "other players", that way there was some randomness and it wasn't just me choosing which player automatically won.
It worked to a degree, but in the end was depressing… and still is now. Thank Zeus for computer games, where one can play alone without need of finding a friend you can get along with and actually find time to spend with (a near impossibility on either count!)
Dina Farmer	 August 18, 2016 at 3:04 am
I have honestly never played a board game by myself. It's always been a family occasion.
kaycreate	 August 11, 2016 at 4:28 pm
Playing alone is such a good way to learn to play, I agree!
Rebecca Hicks	 August 10, 2016 at 12:11 pm
I love tabletop games, but never thought to play alone. It's a good idea!! I'll have to try it someday.
Jessica Hughes	 August 9, 2016 at 2:08 pm
I haven't tried playing games alone but this is a great idea

There are few things that make a person feel hungrier than a day spent moving. And, as I recently found out, there are also few things that make a person feel more broke than buying a house. I think you can see where this is heading. Last Saturday, I felt both famished and impoverished, with the added bonus of being grimy and sweaty from hoisting boxes. The situation wasn't pretty (nor was I), but I did find a solution: Los Jarritos, a souped-up but super-cheap taqueria and burrito joint.
The burrito, it turns out, is the perfect post-moving food. I know pizza and beer are traditional, probably because the pizza people will bring the food to your new door. But if you're going to go get the beer, you might as well go out for Mexican food, too. It's cheaper; it's more filling; and, if you're like me, you'll be delighted to get out of a chaotic house.
Plus, at Los Jarritos, you're not confined to beer for liquid refreshment—though the place has plenty of it. You can get an agua fresca in yummy flavors like tamarind or jamaica (hibiscus), or a smooth, cinnamony horchata. If you've never had horchata, it's a sweet, milk-like drink made from rice, and it tastes like the best rice pudding that Grandma never made. Los Jarritos also has blended drinks, such as strawberry daiquiris. Ordering one occasioned a bit of tumult behind the counter; the cocktails seemed to be a newish item. It was presented with aplomb, though, in a stemmed glass with an umbrella perched in the slushy, brightly sweet cocktail.
Umbrellas and stemmed glasses are by far the fanciest touches you'll find at Los Jarritos. The horchata comes in a paper Coke cup. Chips are self-serve: the first little basket is free, and subsequent ones cost a quarter on the honor system. There's a salsa bar with choices that range from innocent to incendiary. I liked the roasted-tomato salsa, which was fairly thin, with dark flecks and plenty of heat.
Ordering is done at the counter, and this is where the first challenge comes in. The menu is so extensive, and the prices so rock-bottom, that it's hard to decide what to get. There are basic burritos for less than $2, and super burritos for about double that, as well as specialty plates like chili verde with rice and beans for only $4.50. Chili verde is one of my favorite Mexican dishes, and Los Jarritos makes an excellent version. The pork was meltingly tender, and the green sauce was tangy, with just a little heat. It came with piping hot, soft flour tortillas.
My husband opted for the super burrito with carnitas, which was really astonishingly large. It easily could have been a meal for us both. It was also delicious, with flavorful cubes of pork, rice and beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa and cheese. What distinguishes one burrito from another, assuming good components, is the even distribution of its elements; at Los Jarritos, the burrito rollers clearly know what they're doing.
Our eyes being habitually bigger than our stomachs, we also got an order of nachos supreme as an appetizer. They were the only real disappointment of the meal, because they were covered not in cheese but in Day-Glo orange cheese product. Though the other toppings were good—tasty shredded chicken, guacamole, beans and so forth—the cheese goo made the whole dish meretricious. This fakery was a sorry contrast to the chips, which were excellent, made from tortillas and not of the extruded variety.
It might be better to skip appetizers to save room for dessert. There's a full bakery case of pan dulces and other sweets. Even if you're full, you might want to take home a little bag to go with your coffee the next morning. A sticky phyllo-nut tart, like open-faced baklava, was especially tasty. But the crowning touch is the paletas: popsicles, some made of fruit juice and some milk-based, in a gorgeous array of pastels and jewel tones. With flavors from strawberry to tamarind-chili, there's something for everyone. They're cheap, too: a dollar each or $7.50 a dozen. I briefly entertained visions of buying boxes of them to serve at a housewarming party. Then two recollections, both unpleasant, seized me: First, I had dozens of boxes to unpack before I could even think about having a party. Second, we wouldn't have a refrigerator for five more days.
What we were going to eat in the interim was a puzzle, but we might well head back to Los Jarritos for food and menu options that are a cut above those of the average taqueria. We'll be in good company. Los Jarritos attracts everyone from young families to partygoers and starving artists in droves. But the restaurant gets a real vote of confidence from the table of workers from the Wienerschnitzel next door, who were still in uniform and hastily eating their burritos. I'll bet they get a discount at their workplace, but, no doubt, the deals and the food are a lot better at Los Jarritos.

We sell a lot of superwash wool in our store, so we thought it only made sense to share these tips with you for keeping your hand knits looking fabulous! Our very favorite no-rinse wool wash is Eucalan because of the gentle ingredients, lovely scent, and unparalleled results.
Use ample water. Friction is the enemy of any natural fiber, especially merino wool. 100% Superwash merino wool has a short fiber staple length which give the yarn incredible softness, but also makes it more susceptible to pilling. A lot of energy efficient washers use low levels of water. Large projects need ample water to allow the piece to swish and not rub up against itself repeatedly, causing undue friction. A mesh bag, available at Silk Road Textiles, is also helpful in preventing friction.
Use the right soap. Superwash yarn is safe for the washing machine, but not necessarily for all of the chemicals found in regular laundry detergent. Many laundry detergents contain enzymes to attack protein based stains. Wool is a protein based fiber, which means the enzymes in your detergent can harm the wool. Instead of a conventional detergent, we recommend using Eucalan wool wash, available in 5 different scents, in bottles or individual pods, at Silk Road Textiles.
Use the dryer. But check the label first. Superwash yarn has been processed to remove the scales on the fibers. These naturally present scales are responsible for the adhering of the fibers during felting. Without the scales the fibers lose their gripping properties. When yarn is wet, it becomes heavy and in the case of Superwash wool it will stretch if given the opportunity. Superwash wool springs back into shape in the dryer. We strongly recommend that you tumble dry your projects to prevent overstretching.
Feel free to share these three tips and a Eucalan Individual Pod with the recipients of your Superwash wool creations!


I could have chosen Histoire de Melody Nelson but I've selected L'Homme a tête de chou (Man with a cabbage head) just for a change. The story of Marilou is on that record, and it's also the voice of my father which I treasure. It's always hard to have your parents as singers - they have a singer's voice and they have their personal, private voice. He hated his voice in the earlier days where he sang much more. This is a real portrait of him; Melody Nelson is a portrait of both of them, and it's a fantasy, and it's different. This one for me is really as original and as melodic and modern as Melody Nelson.
You know, 'Aeroplanes' is a beautiful song. He was just brilliant at taking whatever time he needed. Now songs are so formatted, but here there are songs that are seven minutes long. It's a real voyage and a real story. 'Marilou Sous La Neige' is one of my favourite songs because it's so melodic, and he has the most beautiful voice on it.
I think it came out in 1976. We were living with a nanny. The cover shot was taken in a garden that wasn't his. He put L'homme a tête de chou - which was a statue he bought for himself - in the garden and photographed himself with the statue. Now the statue is in his house. I have his house, I bought his house and it's all I have left of him - all his old objects, his whole environment. I guess it's very much linked with this album.


So, you're thinking about baptism, eh? That's great! If you're a follower of Jesus Christ – saved by his grace through faith – and you've never been baptized by immersion, then what are you waiting for? Jesus was baptized, fully supported the act of baptism, and instructed his disciples to baptize new converts.
At our church, we strongly believe in the importance of baptism by immersion as a key part of the Christian's expression of faith and obedience to Jesus Christ.
Baptisms can be conducted anytime of the year, and if someone desires to be baptized, we will not delay. However, we also regularly conduct baptisms every year on Father's Day (June) in the Tobique River by a lovely cottage belonging to members of our church.
If you'd like to be baptized, or have a question about being baptized, please contact our pastor Rev. Michael Fredericks (506) 273-6691, mfredrx@gmail.com.


We had a really lovely time with them, taking them out to our fave restaurant, testing out the new bar that opened in Darnac, but mostly chilling out at home, soaking in that pool and catching up on years of family gossip.
They love our free range chickens - everyone loves the chickens - and fed them breadcrumbs and scraps when they came calling at the gite.
Mike and Sue had a great time and promised not to leave it so long before their next visit. Good!
We had a short-notice vacancy when a pencilled-in guest change their mind so Tony phoned his older brother Mike and invited him and his wife Sue to come and have a few days with us. It came at an opportune time when they really needed a break from the painful process of trying to buy a house.
Our silk tree is magnificent in bloom. It's flowers are just so exotic, pink and fluffy, what an impressive tree. A ladybird on every frond ... the bugs just love it.
Tony planted sunflowers among the tomato plants, for cut flowers. But they're so gorgeous I can't bring myself to cut them. Instead they provide a brilliant show of happy faces in the veggie patch, visible from the pool area.

"In A Gift Economy,The More You Give, The Richer You Are"
Charles Eisenstein declares himself to be a "De-growth" activist". In his words, this means you re-imagine the world, and how we connect and how we help each other thrive.
The first thing you throw away is the concept of the benefits of the conventional growth economy. If we build another way to go about getting our needs met, we will all have so much more. If we build security through our community, instead of money, we will have real "wealth".
He says a de-growth activist is: "Anybody that tries to re-establish human connections, re-skill themselves and other people, learn to do things without buying things."
"The distaste we've created of the world has come through, or despite of, all of our best planning and logic and technological solutions and linear thinking and it's time that we start listening to something else." says Eisenstein.

New Rules, Same Game at the WTO Services Negotiations
Posted to the IUF website 01-Nov-2005
Europe has no more important offensive interest in the Doha Round than services. [European Services Forum press release, Brussels, 31 May 2005]
There is agreement among all Governments that in the new round of negotiations the freedom to decide whether to liberalize any given service and the principle of progressive liberalization will be maintained. there is no obligation to make commitments under the GATS. [From "GATS – Fact and fiction", a WTO brochure]
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (the GATS) is one of the pillars of the WTO, alongside the Agreements on agriculture and intellectual property (TRIPS). The GATS creates a framework for forcing open a wide variety of services to foreign investors. Under the GATS rules, once a sector is open there is no turning back. Getting GATS moving is regarded as crucial for the current round of WTO negotiations. But the negotiations are bogged down, advancing so slowly that former WTO Director Supachai Panitchpakdi periodically lamented the lack of "more and better quality" offers.
"More offers" means that more countries offer up more service sectors for the corporate auction block. "Better quality" means that governments are expected to make committed offers that create additional access to their services markets over and above current access. "More and better quality" offers means that governments renounce their right and their obligation to regulate services generally considered to belong to the sphere of public regulation, because they are essential for the public interest.
The negotiations have made little progress because to date they have been framed in a "voluntary", "selective" opt-in process. Under the current GATS rules, governments are required only to table particular services for opening up, and can ostensibly choose not to do so. Mali, for example, can open, say, water provision to EU-based transnationals, allowing them to operate under the same conditions as national companies. This is known as "non-discrimination". This in turn gives transnationals based in Mali the right to invest in European water services should they choose to do so, thus creating a "level playing field" for investors.
In the real world, of course, this ignores the many strong pressures that developing countries, nearly all of them heavily indebted, come under in their relations with the international financial institutions. Developing countries face the very real threat of losing access to global financial markets if they fail to radically reduce expenditure on public services like health and education and surrender their service markets to foreign investors. Complying with these demands, which are generally accompanied by demands for further labour market deregulation, is known as "good governance". Good governance maintains the value of global investment portfolios and results in points being awarded by the World Bank's new rating index for "business friendly" governments.
Given the disastrous experience with most service privatizations in both rich and poor countries, governments are increasingly wary of surrendering their services. Popular uprisings like the revolt against water privatization which brought Bolivia to the brink of civil war, or Argentina's standoff with the company that hijacked water provision in Buenos Aires, are not something most governments are willing to risk. The GATS negotiations therefore haven't yielded the desired results, pushing corporations and their lobby arms (like the European Services Forum) on the offensive, pushing governments in turn to take up the expanded corporate agenda in trade negotiations.
One manifestation has been the push for bilateral and regional trade agreements with extensive service liberalization provisions. These give investors what they haven't been able to get so far through the GATS. But a global agreement, through the WTO, remains the ultimate prize, because it establishes a binding global framework which in turn can be ratcheted up through new bilaterals. So the GATS process, with its negotiating guidelines already stacked in favor of investors, will have to be stretched in order to enhance the "quality" of offers. This is called getting the "development round" back on track.
An explicit change of the WTO rules, however, is a risky venture. It would require consensus agreement, a slow and cumbersome process for an institution which is already suffering a serious crisis of credibility. Hence the six proposals - from the EU initially and then Japan, Australia, Korea, Taiwan and Switzerland - which have recently been submitted to the GATS negotiations.
These would abolish the bilateral "request-offer" nature of the process, depriving WTO member states of the leeway to decide which service sectors, if any, they choose to open up, and at what pace, and replace them with broad mandatory requirements. The new name for this is "benchmarking" or "complementary approaches". Benchmarking requirements would commit countries to simultaneously open up a minimum number of sectors and sub-sectors, and link this to the promise of further liberalization. Basic regulatory requirements – such as limits on foreign equity and distinctions between foreign and national service providers – could be radically reduced or eliminated.
Unions are already familiar with performance benchmarking at the workplace, the process by which corporations establish productivity standards and bring national and international units into competition to meet and surpass these requirements. The result is intensified competition between workers and downward competitive pressure on pay and working conditions.
An accelerated race to the bottom is now being imported into the services negotiations. Benchmarking at GATS means more competition to open more services to investors and more pressure to deregulate. It makes explicit what critics have always pointed to as the end-goal of the GATS process: a free-for-all for transnational corporations.
Because of their ambitious reach, the GATS negotiations will have a far-reaching impact on society and the labour movement as a whole, including IUF members (see The GATS Attack on Food and Agriculture for an analysis of the impact on the food system. The IUF has therefore joined with other international unions, including Public Services International (PSI) and the International Metalworkers' Federation (IMF), and with civil society organizations mobilized around trade and investment issues, in exposing and denouncing these proposals. A common declaration has been sent to WTO chief Lamy and to the chair of the services negotiations calling for the clear rejection of benchmarking.
The full text is available on the PSI web site (in English only), and we encourage all unions to make use of it to convey their opposition to their governments and to their national trade negotiators. Service markets, like all markets, must be regulated by government in the public interest. The GATS, because it is comprehensive, seeks to radically diminish and even eliminate that role in all services, public and private. The process must be stopped now before it advances any further.

Adiantum capillus-veneris, the Southern maidenhair fern, black maidenhair fern, maidenhair fern, and venus hair fern,  is a species of ferns in the genus Adiantum and the family Pteridaceae with a subcosmopolitan worldwide distribution. It is cultivated as a popular garden fern and houseplant.

Distribution
Adiantum capillus-veneris is native to the southern half of the United States from California to the Atlantic coast, through Mexico and Central America, to South America. It is also native to Eurasia, the Levant in Western Asia, and Australasia. There are two disjunct occurrences in the northern part of North America: at Cascade Springs in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia. In both instances, the warm microclimate created by hot mineral springs permits the growth of the plant far north of its normal range. It is similar in Zvonce spa resort (Звоначка Бања, Zvonačka Banja), near Pirot in Serbia, where hot mineral springs provide adequate heat and humidity for the survival of this species.

It is found in temperate climates from warm-temperate to tropical, where the moisture content is high but not saturating, in the moist, well-drained sand, loam or limestone of many habitats, including rainforests, shrub and woodlands, broadleaf and coniferous forests, and desert cliff seeps, and springs. It often may be seen growing on moist, sheltered and shaded sandstone or limestone formations, generally south-facing in the southern hemisphere, north-facing in the north, or in gorges. It occurs throughout Africa in moist places by streams. On moist sandstone cliffs it grows in full or partial shade, even when unprotected.

Description
Adiantum capillus-veneris grows from  in height; its fronds arising in clusters from creeping rhizomes  tall, with very delicate, light green fronds much subdivided into pinnae  long and broad; the frond rachis is black and wiry.

Cultivation
Adiantum capillus-veneris  is cultivated and widely available around the world for planting in natural landscape native plants and traditional shade gardens, for outdoor container gardens, and commonly as an indoor houseplant.

Adiantum × mairisii is a winter hardy hybrid of Adiantum capillus-veneris with another species, which is likely to be one of Adiantum raddianum, Adiantum aethiopicum, or Adiantum cuneatum.

As a houseplant, Adiantum capillus-veneris  requires filtered light and very humid conditions. It should be grown in soil rich in organic matter and should be watered frequently but lightly, to keep the roots damp but not drenched. The temperature should not fall below . Is is propagated by dividing, making sure each clump has a section of rhizome.

Conservation
The fern is listed as an endangered species in North Carolina (as southern maidenhair-fern) and threatened species in Kentucky (as venus hair fern), due to loss of Appalachian habitat.

Uses
This plant is used medicinally by Native Americans. The Mahuna people use the plant internally for rheumatism, and the Navajo people of Kayenta, AZ use an infusion of the plant as a lotion for bumblebee and centipede stings. The Navajo people also smoke it or take it internally to treat mental illness.

In the traditional medicine of Iran, frond infusion of Adiantum capillus-veneris is used for jaundice therapy.

by Edward J. Markarian, Esq.
In Lohnas v Luzi (__ NY3d __ [2-15-2018 slip opn]), the Court of Appeals majority concluded that questions of fact existed whether the statute of limitations for the plaintiff's medical malpractice action was tolled under the continuous treatment doctrine. Judge Garcia authored the majority opinion. Judges Rivera, Fahey and Feinman joined him. Judge Wilson dissented, joined by Chief Judge DiFiore and Judge Stein.
1.	In cases where the Court of Appeals can grant leave, the Appellate Division may be more likely to defer to the Court of Appeals on the question whether leave should be granted. However, in non-final cases like Lohnas where only the Appellate Division can grant leave, it may be more inclined to do so.
2.	It appears that the Second and Fourth Departments were split on an issue decided by Lohnas.
3.	A Justice at the Appellate Division dissented.
4.	A reversal on statute of limitations grounds would be dispositive and end the litigation.
These combined factors provided strong grounds for an Appellate Division leave grant. The four-votes-to-three split at the Court of Appeals confirms the leave grant was a good one.
Regarding the merits, under CPLR 214-a, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice actions is 2 1/2 years. However, CPLR 214-a also states that "where there is continuous treatment for the same illness, injury or condition which gave rise to the [challenged] act, omission, or failure" (slip opn p 3; quoting CPLR 214-a), the limitations period does not begin to run until the end of such continuous treatment.
The Lohnas majority emphasized the public policy behind the continuous treatment rule, which "seeks to maintain the physician-patient relationship in order for the patient to receive the most efficacious care," and that "implicit in the policy is the recognition that the doctor not only is in a position to identify and correct the malpractice, but is best placed to do so" (slip opn p 3; quoting McDermott v Torre, 56 NY2d 399, 408). Lohnas focused on "intent," holding that summary judgment should not be granted where continuous treatment is alleged if questions of fact exist whether the patient and the physician "intended a continuing course of treatment" (slip opn p 4). On the intent point, the majority noted that the "plaintiff's injury was a chronic, long-term condition which both the plaintiff and defendant understood to require continued care" (slip opn, p 4). Lohnas reaffirmed prior holdings indicating that long gaps in treatment are not dispositive (there was a 30-month treatment gap in Lohnas).
The Lohnas dissent disagreed that the plaintiff's treatment had been continuous. The dissent discussed the legislative history behind the inclusion of the continuous treatment provisions in CPLR 214-a when the statute was amended in 1975, viewing it as suggesting a limited application of the continuous treatment rule. The dissent viewed the physician's direction to the patient to return "as needed," and the 30-month gap in treatment, as indicating that treatment had stopped and was not continuous as a matter of law. The dissent was concerned that "the majority's opinion risks expanding the statute of limitations indefinitely" (slip opn, p 6).

Catch them in a lie. Casually ask a boyfriend or girlfriend the place they were such and such day, and let them reply. Remember their reply, and ask once more just a few days later. If they're lying consistently, then they'll have a tough time maintaining. They could begin to get indignant with these simple questions, another huge hint. Travel does not should be hazardous to your health, nonetheless. With a little bit advance planning and basic self-consciousness, you can navigate by way of journey after journey and get the train and diet your physique wants.

Parque estatal Laurel Summit (en inglés, Laurel Summit State Park) es un parque estatal de 2,4 ha en el municipio de Cook, condado de Westmoreland, Pensilvania en los Estados Unidos. También es un área de pícnic con una vista panorámica de Linn Run en la cima de la montaña Laurel. Las temperaturas en el Laurel Summit State Park son generalmente varios grados más frías que en los pueblos circundantes de los valles. La elevación del parque es de 835 metros sobre el nivel del mar.

El área, dentro y alrededor del Parque Estatal Laurel Summit, es ahora un próspero renoval. Hace cien años se describía generalmente como un «terreno baldío». Las crestas de la montaña Laurel habían sido cubiertas una vez con bosque primario. Estos bosques fueron talados durante la era maderera que se extendió sobre la mayoría de las montañas y bosques de Pensilvania a mediados y finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. Los leñadores despojaron las montañas. Llevaron los troncos al aserradero donde fueron cortados en tablones. Se utilizaron troncos más pequeños para reforzar los pozos de las minas de carbón en el suroeste de Pensilvania y Virginia Occidental. La corteza de la tsuga se utilizaba como fuente de tanino en las curtiembres de la zona. Lo único que dejaron los madereros fueron las copas de los árboles. Estas copas de los árboles se dejaron secar. Las locomotoras de vapor delfFerrocarril de Pittsburgh, Westmoreland y Somerset prenderían fuego a esta maleza seca causando incendios masivos que barrieron las montañas y los valles. En 1909, después de que el Estado de Pensilvania compró la tierra a la maderera, el silvicultor John R. Williams informó: «Debo decir que tres quintas partes (60 %) de la reserva habían sido quemadas desde que se hizo la tala. Los incendios causaron un gran daño al joven crecimiento. Algunos lugares estaban cubiertos de helechos y zarzamoras». Las cicatrices de estos incendios todavía se pueden ver hoy en los alrededores de la cumbre Laurel.

La mayor parte de la vida silvestre en el área fue devastada debido a la destrucción de su hábitat o a la caza excesiva. El venado de cola blanca fue reintroducido desde Míchigan y Nueva York para restablecer lo que una vez fue una próspera población de venados. Estos ciervos fueron liberados en todo Pensilvania. La población actual de ciervos en Pensilvania desciende de la población original que fue introducida en 1910 después de que los leñadores se habían mudado fuera del área.

Matt Bissonnette settles 'No Easy Day' case for $6.6M
Ex-Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette must turn over all proceeds from 'No Easy Day' to the US government.
By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press
August 20, 2016 | WASHINGTON
The former Navy SEAL who wrote a book about his role in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden will pay the government more than $6.6 million for violating non-disclosure agreements and publishing without getting the document cleared by the Defense Department, according to federal court documents.
Matt Bissonnette, who wrote "No Easy Day" under the pseudonym Mark Owen, will give the US government all profits and royalties from the book or movie rights. The proceeds already total more than $6.6 million. He will have four years to pay the bulk of that.
The payments were outlined in settlement documents filed in US District Court in Virginia.
According to the settlement, Mr. Bissonnette also has 30 days to pay $100,000 from the proceeds of presentations he gave using slides that were not approved by the department.
The book triggered a Justice Department probe, including claims it contained classified material. Bissonnette had signed non-disclosure agreements during his service as a SEAL, and he took part in a number of highly secret operations including the bin Laden raid.
'No Easy Day': Six revelations from the book
Under the agreement, Bissonnette said he would acknowledge he made a mistake by failing to submit the book for pre-publication review. And in exchange for the payments, the US government has dismissed other liability claims.
As The Christian Science Monitor's Anna Mulrine noted shortly after the book's release, the military didn't challenge Bissonnette's claim to have been present at Bin Laden's death:
While fellow Navy SEALs have taken issue with Bissonnette's decision to publish the details of the raid in his memoirs, few have taken issue with the details themselves.
A group of former US Special Operations Forces and intelligence operatives offer their own take on Bissonnette's memoir in their own account, "No Easy Op: The Unclassified Analysis of the Book Detailing the Killing of OBL."
Their conclusion: The book is "very significant ... written by someone who experienced the event first-hand.... It's a warrior's perspective, complete with the raw, nostril-burning stink of death."
Justice Department spokeswoman Nicole Navas said the agreement doesn't discredit Bissonnette's military service, but reinforces that service members comply with the non-disclosure documents they sign.
Bissonnette has written a follow-up — also under the name Owen — detailing his journey as a member of SEAL Team Six. That book, "No Hero: the Evolution of a Navy SEAL," did go through the proper channels and a few sections were redacted.
The case may have a chilling effect on future military tell-alls, wrote the Monitor's Husna Haq in 2012:
Still, the ongoing controversy over "No Easy Day" has the authors of "No Special Op" predicting Bissonnette's book may be a game changer in the field. As Americans' interest in commando culture swells and more retired Special Ops veterans consider sharing their accounts in books, movies, and more, the Pentagon will likely crack down on tell-all revelations like this – making firsthand accounts like these rarer, suggests the e-book. "No Easy Day" it writes, "will result in blowback that will drive policy change across the entire Special Operations community regarding operators' ability to write books in the future. Hollywood and media access will be virtually impossible for the foreseeable future."
Not only is it illegal to violate a non-disclosure agreement, it also goes against a core ethic for special operators, noted the Monitor's Brad Knickerbocker in 2014:
In a letter last week, the admiral and senior enlisted man who run the United States Naval Special Warfare Command reminded all present and former SEALs that a critical tenet of the organization's ethos is: "I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions."
"Violators of our Ethos are neither teammates in good standing, nor Teammates who represent Naval Special Warfare," Rear Adm. Brian Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci wrote. "We do not abide willful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety and financial gain, which only diminishes otherwise honorable service, courage, and sacrifice."

Whether you love to practice extreme sports or not, you cannot but admire those who do for their courage and skills. Even though these sports are called "extreme" for a good reason, and the risks involved are not minor, people are practicing extreme sports more and more each year, because these activities, which involve getting your adrenaline pumping, are a great change for our dull lives at office, for which humans were not actually built.
For those of you who are not familiar with the term, base jumping is a sport which supposes using a parachute in order to jump from fix places, and not from a plain as ordinary. "Base" is actually an acronym which stands for the usual four structure which are the favorites of the base jumping enthusiasts: building, antenna, span (for example, a bridge)and earth (any natural shape).
Diving without any equipment is very dangerous, but there are many people who enjoy the feeling, and who may blame them? The divers try to reach at the greatest depths they can with one breath only. This is becoming one of the most popular extreme sports out there, especially for water lovers who like the danger involved, but also the beauty of it.
Cave diving is one of the most beautiful extreme sports in the world: exploring the caves which are at least half filled with water must be an extraordinary experience. Specialized SCUBA diving equipment must be used when practicing this sport; also, it is very dangerous because of the many risks, such as decompressing, sickness or drowning. Thus, there are not many practitioners of this sport, at least, not yet anyway.
Speed skiing is not for everybody, this is for sure: except for skill and experience, the skier must also prove courage and a dose of craziness. This sport involves skiing downhill as fast as possible in a straight line. Usually, speed skiers go above 200 km/per hour.
One of the most dangerous sports in the world is the rock fishing. It involves fishing from rocky outcropping directly into the sea and claims many deaths each year. Despite this aspect, this sport has many fans and its popularity grows every year.
This is not one of the newly appeared extreme sports and you may be familiar with it; bull riding is a rodeo sport which involves, of course, riding a bull which will do anything to escape. At the beginning, the bull is imprisoned in a small enclosure (bucking chute) but when the rider feels prepared, the gate is opened and the bull is free to run and try to throw the rider from his back. This sport is dangerous, as all people who ever saw an angry bull would agree, but it has many adepts and its popularity does not seem to decline.
Derived from Motocross, supercross consists in racing on off-road motorcycles on man-made dirt-tracks which feature all sorts of obstacles and steep jumps. Though very exciting and interesting enough to have gained a huge number of fans, this sport is also very dangerous and might end up bad for the racers.
Yacht racing is a very beautiful, yet extremely dangerous sport, because of the many dangers involved, such as drowning, sharks and all sorts of accidents, especially when the race takes place on great distances.
This sport, which involves riding a streetluge board (sled) on a paved road, is very dangerous and thus, the ones who want to practice it require to be fully aware of the risks and also to use special safety equipment. Despite the obvious risks, street luging gained such fame that professional races started to be held. With speeds that may easily touch 100 km/hour, there is no wonder that speed enthusiasts fell in love with this sport as soon as it appeared!
Though there are many other extreme sports that could have easily found a place on this list, I chose to illustrate my favorite ones and rock climbing is one of them. Rock climbing describes both climbing man-made rock walls and natural ones. Using his own hands and feet, the climbers must try to reach the top . This difficult task is accomplished by a pair of climbers by using both their physical and psychical abilities and thus, makes rock climbing one of the coolest extreme sports in the world. If you want to take extreme to extreme, you have rock climbing with no safety equipment: climbers chose to rely on their own skills as only safety measure.
Pics are awesomely great but Rock climbing pic is rocking. Free diving is very interesting which totally depend on your mind and use of common sense. If you loss your mind so it's too danger to you.

46 reviews on Amazon give this a 4.5 out of 5 star overall rating.
Almost lowest price according to camelcamelcamel for a highly rated math enhancement book for kids. Was borrowing from library to teach kids, good to own a copy.
https://www.amazon.com/Singapore-...1623990742 - Note, this is temporarily out of stock at Amazon, but can still be ordered.
Common core math. How I despise it. Let's draw pictures and symbols to do math.
Why try to excel when the schools won't let you progress?
I got this at Costco for $8.99 a year or so ago and I thought I got it for a good price. This is even better.
Any for 2 year olds?
I've been waiting to buy one for my third grader. I guess he will have to learn faster cause that one isn't on sale.
Expired.. Out of stock now..
Is this what counts as a deal these days? It has been at this price on Amazon for the last 3 months solid. Camelizer people, do it.
You can still place an order, and will be notified once available.
I heard about this method from my kid's teacher. Hope Amazon will also reduce the price for other levels.


Pantyhose did it. They made the girdle — for garters' sake — obsolete. They added comfort to living in stockings for women. But they also sag, bag — and when they run, they run the budget right out the window.
So, the girdle came back. But not without some very drastic changes which have affected the foundations of many.
First, the girdle today is shorter. With skirt lengths as they are, a long-leg girdle is an absolute horror to sit down in — or in bending over, it can be even worse. Most popular today are the brief-leg length.
Second, girdles are made of softer, more flexible materials for the feeling of freedom that pantyhose introduced. They give two ways. They add support, but only a reminding kind of support — they remind you to hold your tummy in, instead of doing it for you.
Third, they have new garters. The brief and slightly supportive girdle for over the pantyhose may sound superfluous at first. But the rubber mesh garter cuff now sewn around the inside of the leg is designed to hold those pantyhose up and keep them there.
The pantyhose with detachable stockings, or replacements as some manufacturers call them, come with their own brief girdle. The garter is either the rubber mesh, grip-cuff type, tabs or hooks-and-eyes. Run one stocking and you don't have to throw away the whole kit and kaboodle.
Upcoming in lingerie's girdle realm is the girdle for pantyhose. This will combine all gartering possibilities into one, so that you can take your choice depending on what kind of hose you're wearing.
CITYPANTS: They have also made their presence felt in the underwear business.
Now the to-the-knee type of ever-so-slightly-supporting pantygirdle is designed to let you hide thigh and leg bulges, more noticeable under clingy citypants.
The small size in the girdle department is disappearing. For one thing, lithe figures don't need garters, so why girdles? For another, fashion has taken us towards a natural look — bottoms are bottoms.
Most bottoms and tummies weren't that small to begin with — so now that it's OK to have a figure again, we're not going to continue self-torture.
As far as color goes, girdles are in the same basic colors as bra: pink, blue, yellow, beige, black, white. Greens are coming on stronger as lingerie colors, and nudes are important as well.
Lest you fear that your favorite waist cincher will no longer be manufactured, don't. Regular girdles and even corsets are still on the market… some of us still like to eat.

I would like to use a dashboard switch to allow or stop a flow of time triggered analog data from a sensor input to a save to file node.
It seems like a fairly simple task to request but I can't picture how I can do it.
On the dashboard switch properties I can see True and False or could make it a number 0 and 1, but what node can I use to "switch" the flow?
The Function Switch node seems like a logical choice but I need an in and an out for the flow, and I need somewhere to connect the output of the Dashboard Switch?
Does it have to do with Topic?
Do I use the input of the Function Switch for both the flow and the switch and somehow tell it what to do the the properties settings of the Function Switch?
I have not yet grasped the concept of Topic. Can anyone suggest a simple tutorial that could help?
The cookbook is always a good place to start.
So there is no connecting line between the change node and the switch node.
It just magically watches the value of state without any connection.
Or you could use a function node as a simple gate (and keep the wiring visible).
I recommend using node-red-contrib-simple-gate for this. You can feed the signal from the switch straight into it to control whether it allows messages to pass or not.


On March 3, 1875, 18 men gathered at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal to play hockey for the first time — and a national pastime was born.
On this day in 1875, a national pastime was born.
At least, that's when the first organized game of indoor ice hockey was held in Montreal.
Organized by a group of McGill University students, the game was held at the old Victoria Skating Rink and consisted of two teams of nine male players.
It was played right downtown — the rink was between Maisonneuve Boulevard and René Lévesque Street (then Dorchester Street, near Drummond Street).
Before hockey was moved indoors, casual outdoor games of shinny could end up with dozens of players on each team, as there were no guidelines regarding the number of players.
Playing inside meant they had to limit each team to nine players.
An ad for the game placed in the Montreal Gazette shows that the people who played hockey thought it was fun from the start.
After the game, a recap was posted and a legendary game was conceived. The main organizer for the game is said to have been James Creighton, a Halifax native who moved to Montreal and went on to study law at McGill University.
According to Earl Zukerman, a spokesperson for McGill athletics, it is possible that Creighton had drafted rules for the sport as early as 1873, after he and some friends decided to play lacrosse on skates.
"He was a sportsman," Zukerman said.
"He got involved in different sporting clubs in Montreal, so one of those clubs was playing hockey. He got together with a couple of guys in that hockey group and they sort of drafted the rules."
Zukerman cautioned there's no proof of this, but said it's likely to be true.
There is much debate on the original birthplace of hockey in the history and sports communities.
The verdict is split three ways between Montreal, Kingston and regions of Nova Scotia.
"Because of the vagueness of what hockey is, it's hard to come up with a first," said Zukerman.
"The game wasn't invented overnight."
Zukerman added that hockey is an amalgamation of games including lacrosse, invented by First Nations, shinty, a Scottish game, shinny and field hockey, from England, and the Irish game hurling.
'Birthplace of hockey' trademark holder reaches deal with Windsor, N.S.


One of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read and a highly touted Hulu series directed by and starring George Clooney.
One of the funniest books ever written, Joseph Heller's masterpiece about a bomber squadron in the Second World War's Italian theater features a gallery of magnificently strange characters seething with comic energy. The malingering hero, Yossarian, is endlessly inventive in his schemes to save his skin from the horrible chances of war, and his story is studded with incidents and devices (including the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade and the hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule that gives the book its title) that propel the narrative in a headlong satiric rush. But the reason Catch-22's satire never weakens and its jokes never date stems not from the comedy itself but from the savage, unerring, Swiftian indignation out of which that comedy springs. This fractured anti-epic, with all its aggrieved humanity, has given us the most enduring image we have of modern warfare.
This hardcover Everyman's Library edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury, a chronology of the author's life and times, and a select bibliography. It is printed on acid-free paper, with sewn bindings, full-cloth covers, foil stamping, and a silk ribbon marker.

Q: Find Prime Numbers based on user input I have these two methods that i am using to find prime numbers based on user input, i have a method called isPrime that logically should return true if a number is prime, however it always return true no matter what the number is?
I realise there are plenty of answers similar to my query but none have helped so far.
public static void userPrimes(){
    int[] tempPrimes = new int[49];
    int primesFound = 0;
    //Input Amount of numbers to be analysed
    int[] initial  = new int[Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Amount of numbers to be checked")) -1];
    //Input Values
    for(int i = 0; i<initial.length; i++){
        initial[i] = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter number at position:" + (i+1)));
        if (initial[i] > 49){
            initial[i] = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Numbers cannot be greater than 49, Try again:"));
        }
    }

    for(int i = 0; i<initial.length; i++){
        if (isPrime(initial[i]) == true){
            tempPrimes[i] = initial[i];
            primesFound++;
        }
    }
    int[] finalPrimes = new int[primesFound];
    for (int i=0;i<finalPrimes.length;i++){
        finalPrimes[i] = tempPrimes[i];
        System.out.print(finalPrimes[i] + " ");
    }
}

//checks whether an int is prime or not.
static boolean isPrime(int n) {
    for(int j = 2; j < n; j++) {
        if(n % j == 0) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

A: Your isPrime function is fine but as performance wise is concerned you need to iterate till half of the  number rather than iterating till number
boolean x = isPrime(13);
System.out.println(x);

static boolean isPrime(int n) {
        for(int j = 2; j <= n/2; j++) {
            if(n % j == 0) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

returns true and passing 14 returns false..it works perfect here..
might be the problem is with your loop code which is calling this method

A: You have some problems in your code:
1.
int[] initial  = new int[Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Amount of numbers to be checked")) -1];

The array should be in length of the amount that the user entered, not minus 1
2.
 if (isPrime(initial[i]) == true){
        tempPrimes[i] = initial[i];
        primesFound++;}

You should put the primes in the temp primes array in tempPrimes[primesFound]
Also, your final loop is not useful.You can do the printing in the previous loop

A: modify this line by by removing -1
no need to do minus 1 as it reduces the no of input to user by one .
if user inputs amount as 3 then -1 makes him to enter only 2 numbers. so make it as below
int[] initial  = new int[Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
                                ("Enter Amount of numbers to be checked"))];

use only one loop as below to print all prime numbers
 for(int i = 0; i<initial.length; i++){

            if (isPrime(initial[i]) == true){
                tempPrimes[i] = initial[i];
                System.out.println(tempPrimes[i]);

                }
        }
