February, it's not you. It's me. We just can't be seen together anymore. You're too short of a month for a man of my years. With each year of my life, you seem to get weirder. Then, there are those particular years when you presume to be a day longer.
February 2018, we are never, ever getting back together. We're no longer an item. Let me recap the details of our short-lived relationship.
We got together on a Thursday, but I spent all day in the office in preparation for the weekend. On Saturday evening (2/3), I was in High Point, North Carolina and was able to host members of the West Carolina District Presbytery for a meal. In that meeting, we caught up and discussed the aspects of our Sunday morning service.
Sunday morning (2/4), me and Ricky Hambrick (my ministry traveling partner), settled in with New Beginnings Worship Center in Archdale, NC. Pastor John DeVine, his wife Christie, and this congregation are now officially a member congregation of the West Carolina District of the CHC, Inc. I officiated this induction service and preached a devotional.
Sunday evening (2/4) found us traveling South to Abbeville, SC. In this lovely area, we worshipped with the Abbeville CH Church and Pastor Willie (Oliver) McCurry. This was a fun visit, and it was great to get better acquainted with this generous and hospitable congregation. They were a joy to preach to as they attentively soaked up the word. It was a late night getting home, so I worked all day Monday from home and tried to recharge my batteries some.
I completed office hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, but Thursday (2/8) found us back in the van. Lisa and I (and Caleb) were blessed to travel down to Sopchoppy, FL. We attended the Thursday night service of their Winter Homecoming meeting, with Pastor Lance Crews preaching up a storm. We drove back home that night, and it was about 2:30 am by the time we pulled in. We slept in a bit, and I worked from home on Friday.
On Saturday (2/10), we drove over to Jacksonville, AL for Sunday's ministry opportunity. But while in town, Caleb and I attended a JSU men's basketball game. Sunday morning found us with Plainview CH Church and Pastor Gregg Thurman. I was blessed to promote Mission USA and preach the morning message to this open group of believers. We met Pastor Matt and Anna Turner for lunch in Piedmont and afterward, we drove home.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were office days. But Thursday (2/15), I relaxed some physically by working from home. Friday was filled with office hours in preparation for Sunday.
Friday night and Saturday morning (2/16 & 2/17), I was in attendance at our General Men's Ministries Empowerment Conference. It was held at the North Griffin CH Church and Pastor Ronald Cook, and his board did a fantastic job with this event.
It was our pleasure to spend Sunday (2/18) in Cochran, GA. Sunday morning began with the Strong Tower Church. This congregation, led by Pastor Chris and Crystal Bambrough, are always fun to be with for a stress-free worship experience. Sunday evening found us back with our friends at Empire PH Church. Pastor Brian Williams has a great heart and is always a kind host. What a privilege it was to preach both of these services.
We started off Monday (2/19) by catching up with Reverends Justin and Rebekah Inman over brunch. Then we headed back to Griffin. That night we attended our office Bible study meeting at the headquarters building.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were filled with office hours. And oh the blessedness of taking off that Friday and Saturday. We spent Friday on the road going to Cedar Bluff, AL and back. We visited with my mother-in-law and dropped off Caleb to go home with his sister, Brittany for the weekend.
On Sunday (2/25), I drove to Glen Saint Mary, FL for the Sunday night service of their Winter Homecoming meeting. Pastor Wayne Hicks was the splendid guest preacher for this event. Longtime friend, Pastor Hayward Clark went along with me for this trip. We made our way back North in the rain on Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday were filled with office hours and many errands. And on Wednesday evening we were able to attend the 4:30 Bible study at Living Waters CH Church.
Along with much pastoral care done by phone, email, and other messaging, I have also spent several hours maintaining this site.
Too much activity in too little days is the main reason that we are breaking up. We have irreconcilable differences. Well, there's that and the fact this month always brings me another birthday.
That's it, February. We're history.

Ford F-150 vs. Ram 1500
If you're looking for the best light duty pickup truck on the market today, you can't go wrong with Ford and Ram. These two companies are the definition of everything a pickup should be, and drivers in Philadelphia, Doylestown and Warminster know it. Each offers an outstanding combination of functionality, reliability, performance and comfort. But no two trucks are created equal, and somewhere one has to come out ahead of the other.
So, which one is the better pickup? Explore a direct comparison of the Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500, learn what each brings new to the table, and determine which is the better pickup for your needs.
2018 Ford F-150 vs. Ram 1500 Updates
The 2018 Ford F-150 brings a pretty wide range of changes this year. Among these refreshes are a new standard engine, a 3.3-liter V6 which delivers greater power and fuel economy. In addition, the turbocharged 2.7L V6 and 5.0L V8 options have been revised to deliver more power. A 10-speed automatic is paired to these engine options, and automatic stop-start is now a standard feature. Finally, you get improved frontal crash warning and mitigation systems, and a revised styling at the front and back.
The Ram 1500, on the other hand, doesn't quite have the same level of refreshes and upgrades this year. It drops the Outdoorsman trim level and shuffles some of its features to other trims, and it drops the six-speed transmission option, leaving you with only one available transmission, an 8-speed automatic. While this is statistically the better option, some drivers may not like the elimination of options.
Ford F-150 Performance
The Ford F-150 this year gives you a powerful standard V6 engine as well as very solid fuel economy for a pickup in its class. You'll get an EPA-estimated 20 mpg on city streets, and 25 mpg on the highway. It puts out 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Upgraded engines include the turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 which gives you 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft, and a 5.0-liter V8 which delivers 395 horsepower and 470 lb-ft.
Also available is a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 which comes in two different performance grades: 375 hp with 470 lb-ft, and 450 hp with 510 lb-ft. All engines above the standard V6 come paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Ram 1500 Performance
The standard 3.6-liter V6 engine on the 2017 Ram 1500 puts out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque paired to an 8-speed transmission. It gives you 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, unless you opt for 4WD, which lowers your efficiency to 16 city and 23 highway.
Additional engine choices include a 5.7-liter V8 which puts out 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque, or an EcoDiesel turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 which gives you 240 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. While the base V6 engine has more power than the base F-150 engine, it gets vastly reduced EPA-estimated fuel economy, and the F-150's upper engines are more powerful overall.
Ford F-150 at Fred Beans Ford of Doylestown
The 2018 Ford F-150 is the better of the two pickup trucks in just about every way that counts. If you're in the Warminster, Philadelphia or Doylestown areas, stop into Fred Beans Ford of Doylestown to test drive one for yourself today!

Lift Atlanta, Inc was started on September 1, 1975, in Decatur, GA as an Otis Material Handling Equipment dealer, Otis Elevator at that time being the parent company for Baker forklifts. The company was founded by Mitchell Milovich and is currently the company's CEO. Mitch has extensive industry experience working for the Baker Material Handling Company in Cleveland, Ohio in various capacities since the mid-1960s. In 1975, Mitch purchased the assets of a Baker branch in Atlanta to start the company.
In the early years, Lift Atlanta grew on a simple philosophy of providing quality material handling equipment and honest sales and service, to help our customers save money – and it's a philosophy we still believe to this day.
In 1983, the company moved to our current location at 2425 Park Central Blvd. in Decatur. 1986 saw the company expand its operations to include a full-service branch in Augusta, GA- this branch is still in operation, and employs 10 people.
During the 1980's Lift Atlanta expanded our product offerings beyond Baker (now Linde) forklifts and Taylor-Dunn personnel/burden carriers to include a second forklift line, dock equipment, in-plant offices, racks and mezzanines, and other related products. At one point, Lift Atlanta employed 70 people.In the mid to late 1990's, we took a close look at our operations and felt we had drifted away from our core products of lift trucks and began to narrow our scope of product offerings, as we like to say, "returning to the girl we came to the dance with". We returned to being strictly a Linde and Taylor-Dunn dealer. With a narrower scope, we felt we could better serve our customers. Do a few things very well, instead of doing many things only average.
In 2001, Mark Milovich, son of the company's founder, was named company president. Mark has worked for the company since 1986 in various capacities, including all departments and Branch Manager for the Augusta branch.
In August 2013, Lift Atlanta was announced as the authorized dealer for Clark Forklifts for the Augusta, GA and Columbia, SC markets. It's very exciting to be aligned with one of the historical names in the material handling industry. The legendary quality and features of the Clark forklifts still remain to this day. The addition of the Columbia, SC market adds to the company's selling area.
We are a very conservatively run company. We manage our growth to levels we can maintain because growth for the sake of growth only causes problems and has a negative effect on how customers are serviced. We believe we are an important part of our customer's success because we know how important material handling equipment is to the movement of goods, and if goods are not moving, money is being lost.
We are a very honest company. We look for quality relationships with our customers- one of mutual respect. If it's not right, we will make it right.
We try to align ourselves with quality manufacturers – ones that we, as well as our customers, can trust for quality goods and services. We will not take on a product line to simply take it on, or keep someone else from having it. Products have to fit our scope of business and tie into the type company we are and the philosophies we have.
One of the things we are most proud of is the longevity of our employees. Of our total employee base, 40% of our people have 10 or more years with the company, with 27% having 20 or more years of service! Today, that is really uncommon!
If you are currently one of our valued customers – THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS!!


Huge thanks to Mike Hill, MP for Hartlepool, for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet with HUST Community Officer Mark Goodman this weekend. HUST member Mike was no doubt happy to enjoy some Brexit free discussions with Mark as he welcomed updates on HUST's progress, the improvements within HUFC and the first community projects in which we have been involved. Mark and Mike took the opportunity to discuss how HUST would like to deliver more of its community benefit aims, with Mike making some recommendations on potential project areas requiring support and funding options to access.
As an FCA regulated community benefit society HUST looks to support community project areas and has previously donated money to Hartlepool United Community Sports Foundation, has provided volunteers at St Aidan's Church soup kitchen, and has raised money and donations towards Hartlepool's Food Bank. Supporting community activities is independent of the financial reserve fund for investment in HUFC, and as well as targeted fundraising HUST hopes to further draw on volunteers supportive of the society's aims.
In addition, Mike raised some interesting points regarding our Corporate Membership options, and we will provide him more information on why companies may wish to get involved with HUST.

Q: Directly access nested linklist in shopify I have a my menu navigation set up like this in shopify:
- main_menu
    - top_level_1
    - top_level_2
        - top_level_2_sub_menu_1
        - top_level_2_sub_menu_2
        - top_level_2_sub_menu_3

I am able to do this to iterate through all the menu items:
    {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %}

{{ link.handle }}

        {% for nestedLink in link.links %}

{{ nestedLink.handle }}

        {% endfor %}
    {% endfor %}

However I don't seem to be able to iterate JUST through the submenus belonging to top_level_2. I have tried this with no success:
{% for link in linklists.main-menu.top_level_2.links %}

{{ link.handle }}

{% endfor %}

And also tried this:
{% for link in linklists.top_level_2.links %}

{{ link.handle }}

{% endfor %}

Is it possible to directly get a handle to linklist in order to iterate through its child links? Or would I need to first find that link by searching the top level items?

A: linklists.main-menu.links returns an array of object items.
A.k.a:
[
  {
    active: false
    child_active: false
    current: false
    child_current: false
    levels: 1
    links: [...]
    object: null
    title: "Some title"
    type: "http_link"
    url: "#:
  },
  {
    active: false
    child_active: false
    current: false
    child_current: false
    levels: 1
    links: [...]
    object: null
    title: "Some title"
    type: "http_link"
    url: "#:
  },
  {
    active: false
    child_active: false
    current: false
    child_current: false
    levels: 1
    links: [...]
    object: null
    title: "Some title"
    type: "http_link"
    url: "#:
  },
  etc...
]

So you can't say linklists.main-menu.top_level_2 since there is no such object.
You can say linklists.main-menu.links[1].links and do something like so:
{%- for link in linklists.main-menu.links[1].links -%}

{%- endfor -%}

But please note that this will loop only the items in the second navigation item and ignore the rest.

Gloria Barinholtz spent many years volunteering at various animal shelters. She hadn't found a pound or shelter she could live with, and so in 1981 she founded Adopt-A-Pet, the area's first "shelterless shelter" – a new concept based on placing animals in foster homes, rather than a shelter facility. Though many were growling that you can't teach old dog new tricks, she was determined to make it work. For the rest of her life she pursued her passion: saving as many innocent animal lives as she possibly could. Gloria spent upwards of 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, juggling 3 phone lines, collaring new foster homes, screening adopters, showing animals, meeting with vets and giving advice to pet owners. Need a new leash on life? Lost your best friend? Gloria would answer all of these calls and make sure you weren't barking up the wrong tree. Like a searching bloodhound, her instincts were keen. She was a master at the art of sniffing out a suitable prospective pet owner over the phone. She asked every doggone question there was. Her obedience rules could tame the fiercest and ferocious. Her devotion to educating pet owners and striving for purrfect matches eventually paved the way to Adopt-A-Pet's success. She knew she couldn't do it alone; she recruited an army of volunteers that had the same passion. Since then, through her dogged efforts, Adopt-A-Pet has placed an amazing over 15,000 homeless dogs and cats into new loving homes. Adopt-A-Pet will soon be celebrating their 33rd year of pulling dogs and cats out of bad situations and placing them into loving and nurturing foster homes until a permanent loving home can be found.
Gloria survives in memory through the thousands of families she has helped in adopting their new-found pet. Today Adopt-A-Pet is ever stronger with the continued thankless efforts of Adopt-A-Pet volunteers guided though the leadership of the acting president, Gloria's daughter, Randy Barinholtz.
In the late '90's, Gloria had the insight to approach WilmettePetCenter, who sold dogs and cats, to transition and become an Adopt-A-Pet foster home. Because of Gloria's willingness to see compassion in all, she opened the gates for WilmettePetCenter to stop selling and become our area's first 100% foster home 'pet store' for shelter dogs and cats.
Please join us on November 23rd, 1:30 pm, to honor Gloria Barinholtz and the Adopt-A-Pet volunteers who have kept her vision going 33 years strong. This will be Wilmette Pet's third anniversary of 100% adoption of dogs and cats. Help us dedicate and unveil our new adoption cat room named appropriately, Gloria's Kitty Corner. We will also be hosting Adopt-A-Pet's Tree of Hope Lighting Ceremony. For every donation to Adopt-A-Pet of $5 or more, an ornament of a homeless pet will be placed on the Tree of Hope.
We hope to see you November 23rd and a big "Thank You" to you as your support and compassion continues to allow us all to continue saving homeless pets.

National Trust's Kingston Lacy House is open again!

The National Trust's Kingston Lacy is opening its house to the public once more, here are 5 highlights not to be missed
Built during the early 1660s Kingston Lacy was the new home for the Bankes family who had seen their former family seat Corfe Castle, destroyed during the Civil War. In 1835 Sir Charles Barry, who also built the Houses of Parliament, gave this country house near Wimborne a grand makeover turning it into an Italianate palace in the heart of the Dorset countryside. The interiors were also updated to provide a suitably opulent setting for the collections of paintings and other works of art acquired by William John Bankes (1787-1855) as he travelled across Europe.
- The spectacular Spanish Room, with its early 17th-century Venetian ceiling and hangings of gilded leather and collection of Spanish paintings.
- The wonderful art collection including pieces by Rubens, Van Dyck, Titian and Tintoretto.
- The largest private collection of Egyptian artefacts in the UK including the 6.5m obelisk from the temple of Philae now on Kingston Lacy's south lawn, the six-tonne obelisk took nine years to be shipped from Egypt to Weymouth.
- The gorgeous gardens and parkland a glorious location for a summer stroll or picnic. The parkland, part of the garden (not the Acer Glade or Kitchen Garden) are open, as is the café for takeaway, shop and toilets.

The brand standard displays all the product marketing and merchandising information. It consists of shelf standards, display standards, cold box standards, overcoming objections and Frequently Asked Questions. This works as a complete guidance manual for the users.
The T(roo)via is a quiz that helps users earn points through easy games. Photo Contests is a picture sharing contest that shares pictures of users for expanding user interaction.

Looking after your mental health while studying from home
Almost overnight, the way we learn, and the way we're taught, has changed. We no longer have to get out of bed so early, get on the bus or the train, and make our way into school. That can only be a good thing, can't it? Not for everyone. Studying full-time from home can bring with it some pretty big challenges and, for some people, it can take a big toll on their mental health.
Here are my tips on how to look after your mental health and how to stay motivated while we're all studying from home:
Form a routine
Just because the school bell no longer rings out every hour doesn't mean you shouldn't think about coming up with a timetable/routine and sticking to it, and building in regular breaks, some fun time, and some work time. That can help you to stay focused and also help you to have a clear idea of what you've got to do. Think about setting a goal to achieve for each session, too - are you going to recap the different sentence forms for English? Or are you going to work on your key terms in physics?
Use not having a school bell to your advantage, too. You don't have to work from 8am - 3pm every day. Do you prefer to have a lie-in? Then why not start work at 10am? Nobody is expecting you to work for the same amount of time as if you were in school - your teachers aren't setting you an hour's worth of work per lesson each day, so don't feel like you need to work for that amount of time.
Think about setting a goal to achieve for each session.
Think also about what you wear and where you work. I love my fluffy dressing gown and my bed. But, getting out of bed and putting on different clothes, and sitting at a desk, or the kitchen table, helps you to differentiate between work and sleep, which will help you if you're struggling to sleep, and will make you more productive while you're working.
Continue to exercise
We're all having to maintain strict social distancing measures, and we're not allowed to socialise with people who we don't live with. But we're still allowed to - and in fact encouraged to - go outside, for one form of exercise per day. It's well reported that exercising and getting fresh air helps to look after your mental health and wellbeing. While you're out, take it as an opportunity to unplug - ignore any notifications you get on your phone. Take a moment to look at what you can see in front of you while you're out: what colour are the leaves? What can you hear? There are fewer cars on the roads - can you hear birds chirping?
This time, even if it's just half an hour a day, can be a great chance to think about exactly how you're feeling and what you're thinking, which leads me on to:
They might not be in the room, but your friends and teachers are still there
Now more than ever, your teachers are interested in looking after you and making sure that you are ok, rather than focusing on grades. Use your school's virtual learning environment (VLE) to keep in touch with your teachers - ask questions about work set, but also tell them how you are! They're stuck indoors too - I'm sure they'd love to hear how you are getting on.
Make full use of video chats and phone calls too, to keep in touch with friends. Do this as well as sending normal messages - it means you still get to see them and makes everyone feel more connected! Why don't you have a 'virtual lunch' together, and all sit down at the same time, on a video call, and chat about your day?
Make full use of video chats and phone calls too, to keep in touch with friends. Why don't you have a 'virtual lunch' together, and all sit down at the same time, on a video call, and chat about your day?
We're all in this together
I think that this is important to remember. Every single person in the world is currently being affected in one way or another by what's going on with the coronavirus. Which means that loads of people are worried, scared and anxious. If you're feeling these things, have a look at YoungMinds' advice here.
Chat with your parents, friends, or teachers about how you're feeling; sharing how we feel and talking about it helps everyone. If you think your friend might be worried, why don't you think about asking them how they are?
If the news right now is having a negative effect on your mental health, have a look at our coronavirus and mental health page for tips, advice and suggestions on where to get help.

I also offer consultancy services on Alarm Receiving Centre development, design, management and operation, with special emphasis on BS5979 and BS8418. See my CV page.
I have a role as non-exec director for a small web based software company and do some consultancy for a Blue Chip CCTV Alarm Receiving Centre. These help me keep up to date and mentally active without requiring too major a commitment in time. The majority of my work is carried out remotely on our travels, all I need is the Internet - mind you in France that's a major miracle.
In addition I provide common sense, end user orientated, web site reviews, testing and critique services. So many web sites have not been tested properly, lack common sense and are just not end user focused. End result, the potential customer is frustrated and goes elsewhere. Let me do a mystery browser review of your website and only if you're satisfied with my findings do you pay me.

Congratulations all round to the Borough Council and the Danesbury Fernery volunteers in winning the 2018 Anglia in Bloom Conservation Award.
The Borough Council are very happy to have received these awards as reported on their website.
The Welwyn Hatfield Times publication of 19th September carries a full page piece, with some good photos, or you can view the online version.
In the hope that the weather forecast will be wrong again, and that tomorrow we will enjoy warmth and sunshine between the hours of 10 am and mid-day, we list the folowing tasks which we hope will be achievable.
Maydencroft are scheduled to be on site with their mechanical digger to remove the weed suppressing membrane and then some of the top-soil from this bed to make it more level. We have discovered that the front brick edging, that we had believed to have been 'robbed' of bricks, is in fact at its original height and much lower than we thought. If the bed were left as it is then, after planting, the top soils and wood chip dressing would simply wash off.
Sarah will be in charge to supervise this levelling but volunteers will need to be on hand a) to help remove the membrane (and replace it later) and b) create tidy heaps of top soils. An extra wheelbarrow or two would be very helpful.
Those volunteers not directly involved in the soil moving task, will need to find weeding and tidying up tasks which keep them clear of the mechanical digger which will be operating from the base of the dell.
There is a need to continue the work of clearing weeds from around the base of the tree whips which were planted earlier this year.
It might also be beneficial to continue the work of lopping and clearing brambles away from the Compositing heaps, as they continue to encroach.
Those of you who have not yet responded to the Invitation to attend the Meeting at the Scouts Hut, Lockleys Drive, are asked to contact John at your earliest opportunity, as we have to anticipate numbers attending for catering purposes.
We would like to see a big turn-out of our 'regulars', so that we can hear all your views and opinions on the direction we are going in, and discuss our priorities with Ann and Chris from the Borough Council.
In anticipation that the re-profiling has been completed successfully, then Sarah will once again direct us in the planting needed for the Parson's Bed. This is unlikely to be on the scale of the May 2018 Big Plant-Up of the Central Bed, as we understand from Sarah that her design will involve a fewer number of plants. We look forward to learning more in the next few weeks.
You probably all know that we regularly advertise in the Parish Magazine that this group meets on the morning of the 1st Saturday in each month.
Only once has a single individual actually turned up. It is very difficult to advertise ad hoc meetings, even though this does seem to provide the better way forward for us at the moment. But if we all agree that this is a worthwhile community gardening activity then we will need to encourage our friends and neighbours to join us, and this does mean advertising meeting dates.
Clearly this will be a subject for debate on the 27th September.

Getting older is something that everyone will experience at some time or another, but there's a lot that you can do to make sure that you don't age as quickly and feel better as you age. Read on for some tips on staving off the getting older process so that you can have a better old age.
Keeping your weight under control is one key to aging well. There are a number of ailments related to obesity which exacerbate age-related illnesses. In order to keep your weight under control, you should exercise moderately and eat a balanced diet. Tracking your food intake with an online food diary makes this easier.
One of the best ways on how to prevent and slow the aging process is by being happy. This can be done by filling your life with love and joy. A good habit is to practice stress relieving activities since stress contributes to speeding up the getting older process. A happy person automatically has a happy body.
To help slow the process of getting older, try to stay as active as possible, for your given circumstance. Sitting idly, will speed up muscular decay and before you know it, you will be stuck with a sedentary lifestyle. Even a lap around the block would be beneficial.
Make sure you're only drinking alcohol in moderation. For those under 65, this means you shouldn't drink more than two glasses a day. If you're over 65, this means you shouldn't drink more than one glass a day. If you're going to drink alcohol try drinking wine instead since it's shown to benefit health in small doses, unlike beer or hard liqueur.
Make your home easier to get around in. Remove rugs and other things you can easily slip on. Place things where you can reach them. Get clocks with larger numbers. By making your home easier to live in, you can relax instead of struggling to do things you once did. Adapt, and growing older will be easier.
Eat more nuts throughout the day. Nuts are a great food to help prevent getting older. They have many healthy vitamins, minerals and fats, which will help balance your daily nutrition. Plus, they are an excellent way to stop your processed food cravings between meals, leading you to a much healthier lifestyle!
Focus on the things you can do and the things you like to do. Growing Older can be frustrating because you begin to be unable to do the things that you once did. That can't be changed, but your attitude can. Keep your focus on the things you are https://www.betternutrition.com/ask-the-nutritionist/collagen-benefits still able to do and then do them!
Eating lots of whole http://carrosserie-lot.com/?innovative-methods-to-sell-supplements-and-maintain-supplements-profit-venture-growth-content-by-Malachi-Ricci.html grains will help you look and feel younger. The key to whole grains is they must be intact and not the ones that are ground into flour which destroys the fiber in them. Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber, minerals, and vitamins and provide fuel for doing cardiovascular and strength training exercises.

Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber, minerals, and vitamins and provide fuel for doing cardiovascular and strength training exercises.
Go easy on alcohol. Moderate drinking has been claimed to lower the risk of heart problems and other ailments. For older people, "moderate" means one drink for men and half a drink for women a day. A "drink" is defined as either 12 ounces of beer, 6 ounces of wine, or 1 ounce of hard liquor. To avoid drug interactions, ask your doctor if any alcohol is safe.
It is important to treat yourself as often as possible to improve the way that you feel and gain more confidence. The next time you have off, go to the local spa near you and get a facial. This will help to exfoliate the surface of your skin, so that you can look your best and instill a warm glow to your complexion.
Aging is without a doubt a great challenge. It's hard to accept. But, as you can see, there's a lot that you can do to live longer, healthier and happier. So don't give in!
What Are The Most Effective Lotions To Stop Aging?

MISTER MINIT manufactures memory foam soles from size 35 to 46 for any kind of sports and leisure footwear, perfect for long walks or standing.
Will soften in reaction to body heat, allowing it to mold and completely conform to the unique shape of your feet.
They will fit in every type of shoe and are suitable for all-day support and pain relief.
They also prevent foot slippage in the shoe and improve the fit of every shoe.
The soles will relieve pressure on the ball of your foot, bunions, swollen feet and joints.
They will increase your balance and absorb shocks by cushioning every step.
When you wear shoes, the innersoles often absorb sweat and bacteria from your feet. The innersoles then develop an odor that's difficult to get rid of. Washing the innersoles with soap and water may eliminate surface odor, but it usually doesn't kill all of the bacteria that's built up inside.
You can get rid of the bad smell by attacking bacteria with natural odor-fighting products like MISTER MINIT's Fresh.
Memory foam soles…feel like pillows to your feet!


lives. There are lawyers who make lots of money from felons and their families hoping to have some miracle worked and their records will gone forever. Since most employers do background checks, having a clean record will make getting a job easier. Having certain convictions on your record may be the difference between getting hired for a job or not. Lets explore some common myths and uncover the facts about expungement.
I am not aware of any state that erases records after automatically. In fact no records are ever removed, they may be made inaccessible to the public. There must be legal action taken if there any sealing of records. There is an application process that completed for any type of action to be considered. Nothing happens automatically.
Expungement is a legal process that not available in all states. These processes will vary from state to state as to which records can be sealed or expunged. For example, in NJ where I am, only one felony can be expunged and the waiting period is ten years from the completion of the sentence. In some states no records can expunged and in others only arrests not convictions can be sealed.
Never attempt any legal procedure by yourself. To be certain that any legal process is done properly, You should always seek the help of a qualified professional with experience in this field.
Federal convictions can in no way shape or form be expunged or sealed. The only action that can be taken is to seek a presidential pardon and very few are granted.
With expungement, sealing or any other process, records will never be erased or destroyed. Even though certain records will be hidden from the public, they will always be visible to the court system, government agencies and law enforcement.
This a brief list of common myths associated with the the expungement or sealing of records. Bear in mind that these processes are not available in every state. Every state has its own statutes regarding the treatment of criminal records. If you are interested in finding out if you are a candidate for expungement, I suggest speaking to an attorney about availability in your state. I also suggest that you contact your local legal aid office where you may qualify for free advice about this or even help getting it done. Most legal aid offices are staffed by young attorneys who are anxious to help and gain valuable experience. To find your local legal aid office, check your telephone directory or contact the bar association in your state.

Our work, whether it be maintenance, installation or anything else, always starts underground. Creating and maintaining a product that is impressive and healthy at eye-level starts with what happens below the surface.
When we think of this, we often think of soils and foundations. However, water may be the most critical underground force your landscape will contend with. Its presence in the soils (or lack thereof) has great impact on the health of your plants, the stability of your hardscape installation -- even the integrity of your home's foundation.
Our landscape construction crews can help you optimize water in your landscape. Whether it's controlling runoff, drying out a pesky wet spot or installing a water feature to enhance your landscape's beauty, we can help.

If you didn't visit Miss Mustard Seed yesterday, you need to stop everything and go read it! Marian's post "Don't Be Afraid" pretty much pegged me perfectly.
I like to think that I am a brave soul, but it's only a front and a weak one at that. I am afraid of a lot of things - everything she named and lots more. In fact, I would say I am a big old scaredy cat!!!
I actually commented on her New Year's Eve post that was all about her incredibly blessed year. My comment was about my fear of trying to tackle a project as big as sewing a slipcover for my sofa. She answered back by email and encouraged me to try it.
I sew. I sew quite well. I grew up wearing a lot of very nice handmade clothes that my mom painstakingly made. Three out of four of my formal gowns for my high school Coronation were made by sister #4. I took home economics. I have a fairly new sewing machine. I have taken some specialty sewing classes. I make pillows that I sell on Etsy and at my booth at Old Banks Antiques. I HAVE MADE SLIPCOVERS FOR HOSTESS CHAIRS...two sets in fact - they both turned out great. So, you're asking, what's the big deal about sewing a sofa slipcover??? I Am A Scaredy Cat, remember?
"Look out for a video slipcover tutorial series on my blog. I'll show techniques and short cuts on different styles of upholstered furniture. This series will hopefully become a resource for you and a place for beginners to get the courage to venture into the world of slipcovers." --- These are words straight from Miss Mustard Seed's blog and you better believe I am excited about it. I fully believe that I will be able to accomplish this with her help.
In the meantime, I will continue to make pillows, table runners, etc. I whipped up this wine bag at Christmas just in case I needed a last minute gift, I could grab a bottle of wine and have an instant gift.
I used a vintage table cloth that had seen better days!
And yes, I took the easy way out on this step!
The vintage table cloth cost $2.00 and I only used a small piece.
I am closing with Marian's beautiful slipcovered sofa and hoping that mine will turn out beautiful too!
Love the wine bag. Very romantic.
I am so with you. Someday, I too will conquer a slipcover! For now, I need to make some pillow covers...not quite the most ambitious sewing task for a beginner, but a good start! Good luck to you...I'm sure you will sew the best little slipcover there ever was! Visiting from Metamorphosis Monday.
I read Marian's post too and felt very inspired as well!
I know you can make the sofa slipcovers and I can't wait to see them. I love the wine bottle cover, who would have ever thought to use vintage lace! Love it.
Hi Rhonda, I know that your slipcover will be beautiful... I love your wine bag, it's so pretty! I went over and read Marian's post too, it's very inspiring, thanks so much for sharing!!!
Hey Rhonda, I forgot to tell you, I love your new header, it's gorgeous... I've been wanting to change mine up too for the new year!!!
You "think" you can; I KNOW you can! Happy New Year, Rhonda! Best of all to you and yours.
Rhonda I know how you feel! I'm a great at sewing myself, used to make all my own clothes, have made pillows, curtains, but never a slip cover! I can even weld! Yes, I said weld, and that's really scary cause it involves getting burned most of the time! But I really wanted to learn how to do it! I guess you just have to set your mind to something! Good luck with the slipcover, I can't wait to see your tutorial series!
The wine bag is so cute! Resling in my favorite!
Oh I KNOW you can do it!! I can't wait to see the finished project! And I love the wine bag! I would leave it out year round!
LOVE the scrunched ribbon too!
Hi Rhonda, Marian really is an inspiration for all of us. Her post was wonderful! Your wine bag from the tablecloth is so perfect, unique, vintage, and feminine. Thanks for the encouragement on the photos. I'm now addicted!
oh goodness i wanna be fearless to..i cant wait for tutoral on slip covers!
I'm sure it will be BEAUTIFUL as all of your work is...love that wine bag! I really like your new header...great pics. I need to change my header soon since the holidays are gone. Counting down to the big day...think we will going to Auburn to watch the game from there.
Rhonda I too believe you can do it and can't wait to see how it turned out. Oh how I would love to be able to sew a cover for my couch.
Just came by to wish you a very Happy New Year.
Rhonda you have such amazing talents at so many other things I have no doubt that within a few weeks there will be a post with your sofa slipcover for all to view. I recently started taking an upholstery at the local community college. I have really enjoyed the new things that I have created in this class. My instructor said half the battle with these things is in the measurements. Good luck!
I KNOW you CAN! I've seen your work and you can do anything you put your mind to!
My mother won scholarships and awards for sewing but decided to become a nurse. She did teach me to sew but I haven't in years and forget most of what I learned. It's intimidating. Perhaps I will take the old gal out and give her another go -- my sewing machine, not my mother! -- after watching Marian's tutorial.

Head Of Boy Scouts Says Group's Ban On Gay Adults 'Unsustainable' : The Two-Way Robert Gates, a former CIA director and former defense secretary, told the organization, "We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be."
Head Of Boy Scouts Says Group's Ban On Gay Adults 'Unsustainable'

Robert Gates, president of the Boy Scouts of America, warned that failure to make changes quickly could spell "the end of us as a national movement."
Robert Gates, the president of the Boy Scouts of America, says the organization must reassess its ban on gay adults, saying, "We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be."
Gates, a former CIA director and former defense secretary, warned officials in the organization in Atlanta on Thursday that failure to make changes quickly could spell "the end of us as a national movement."
"I am not asking the national board for any action to change our current policy at this meeting," he said. "But I must speak as plainly and bluntly to you as I spoke to presidents when I was director of CIA and secretary of defense."
Gates said many local councils were already challenging the national organization's membership policy, and many more could be expected to follow.
"While technically we have the authority to revoke their charters, such an action would deny the lifelong benefits of scouting to hundreds of thousands of boys and young men today and vastly more in the future," he said. "I will not take that path."
Gates said several states had passed laws protecting employment rights based on sexual orientation.
"Thus, between internal challenges and potential legal conflicts, the BSA finds itself in an unsustainable position," he said. "A position that makes us vulnerable to the possibility the courts simply will order us at some point to change our membership policy. We must all understand that this probably will happen sooner rather than later."
Gates cited his experience with a California court's decision that sparked the end of the military's so-called don't ask, don't tell policy, which banned gays in the services, and said the Boy Scouts of America must act before it is compelled to do so by the courts.
"If we wait for the courts to act, we could end up with a broad ruling that could forbid any kind of membership standard, including our foundational belief in our duty to God and our focus on serving the specific needs of boys," he said. "Waiting for the courts is a gamble with huge stakes."
Gates noted that the U.S. is changing and "we are increasingly at odds with the legal landscape at both the state and federal levels."
"The one thing we cannot do is put our heads in the sand and pretend this challenge will go away or abate," he said. "Quite the opposite is happening."
Gates acknowledged that his remarks might prove controversial within the organization, but he said he only wanted to "apprise you of the new reality I see: that both internal and external events and pressures over the past year and looking to the future will require action at some point. For now, I ask that, in the days and months ahead, everyone here reflect and pray on our path forward. We can act on our own or we can be forced to act but, either way, I suspect we don't have a lot of time."
In response, the Human Rights Campaign, a group that supports LGBT rights, called Gates' remarks a "step in the right direction."
"But, as we have said many times previously, half measures are unacceptable, especially at one of America's most storied institutions," HRC President Chad Griffin said.
You can read Gates' full remarks here, or watch them here:
This isn't the first time Gates has raised the issue of the organization's ban on gay scoutmasters. He spoke about it last year soon after he became the BSA president when he said that while he would have supported hiring gay scoutmasters, he would "oppose any effort to reopen this issue" because such a move could divide the organization.
The BSA voted in 2013 to allow gay members, but not scoutmasters. As NPR's Kathy Lohr said at the time:
"This is a first step ... at this point, youths who are openly gay are going to be allowed into the Boy Scouts, but the ban was not dropped for adults who are openly gay. So, I think the movement is going to be to not have the adults who are openly gay be kicked out of scouting if they say they are gay. ... And that is because at age 18, people in the Boy Scouts would transition into adult positions and to associate-leader type positions, but right now they're not allowed to do that if they say they are gay. And many have been kicked out for that reason."

Use of Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and can severely affect function and quality of life. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from a patient's own blood and has potential as an adjunct to treat OA. However, research has been limited for small joints such as the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.
A 65-year-old Caucasian male complained of bilateral wrist and neck pain after a motor vehicle accident. His initial exam noted swelling, tenderness and pain with movement at the bilateral thumb CMC joints and anatomic snuffboxes. However, there was no strength, range of motion or tactile deficits during examination.
He was found to have moderate to severe OA bilaterally in his left and right CMC joints seen on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was initially treated with ultrasound (US)-guided steroid injections but did not experience significant improvement. After careful discussion, the patient chose to undergo US-guided injection of PRP into both joints. Follow-up at six weeks after PRP injection revealed that there was functional improvement in both joints as well as objective improvement via the Mayo Wrist Score survey.
US-guided PRP injection can be used as an alternative modality to treat OA of the CMC joints when approaches such as conservative therapy and steroid injections have failed. PRP has not been as well studied as other interventions such as corticosteroid injections, but it may offer less long-term adverse effects and be considered a potential alternative or adjuvant to current treatment modalities.

Five Nights in Maine is an intimate film about love, compassion and redemption, written and directed by Maris Curran and released to critical acclaim in 2016.
An independent filmmaker and producer in the Bay Area, Maris Curran had written a compelling, multi-layered script about an interracial couple beset by tragedy and its aftermath. However, to move forward with filming, Maris needed critical funding and recognition for her project, which is where M3D came in.
We planned a multi-faceted campaign to build awareness and raise needed funds for the Five Nights in Maine film.
We helped promote the successful funding of the Five Nights in Maine Kickstarter campaign, significantly grew its social media presence, and drove extensive press coverage of the film, director and crew.
