These costars are continuing the romance off-screen — but hopefully without all the drama. According to E! News, Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman of Revenge are married , and it's no surprise this longtime couple decided to tie the knot. The couple not only worked together on the series, but their characters were married until Bowman's character died in Season 4. Fortunately, their real-life romance has contained less lies, deceit, and well, revenge.
Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman are engaged. Well, their characters are engaged on the soapy ABC series, "Revenge," but it seems that.
Many exciting TV shows feature characters who want revenge on those who did them harm. There are quite a few plotlines that could have been swapped for something more interesting and dramatic. In the third season episode "Hatred," Daniel dates a waitress named Sara Annabelle Stephenson because he wants to upset Emily. This was not only a really immature thing to do but didn't make much sense, either. Just a little while before this, Daniel tried to murder Emily, so it was confusing for him to move between love and hatred so much.
Allen doesn't really know who is best for her, either. But when she dates Gideon Daniel Zovatto and he cheats on her, it feels pretty lame. This is a series of small and big tragedies that happen to Charlotte before she goes to rehab in season four, and it feels like it just didn't need to happen. She gets kidnapped, which is a much more important storyline, so the cheating could have been omitted.
Ashley is a classic social climber who gets into the Grayson's tony universe so she can make her own wealthy dreams come true, but she's not a very original character. It didn't seem like Daniel needed to move on so fast from Emily, and Daniel and Ashley had zero chemistry. She has one major ally, Nolan Ross Gabriel Mann , and the two are often sneaking around together.
Emily Thorne has been described as a flawed and multifaceted heroine figure. Emily VanCamp, who portrays Thorne, described the character as having become "corrupted" to the point where VanCamp was concerned that it would be difficult to make Thorne appealing to audiences. The character usually appears calm and cold while dealing with difficult circumstances but as the series progresses, she begins to reveal vulnerabilities in her demeanor and reacts more emotionally to situations, which also impedes her efforts to get vengeance.
Letizia notes several more similarities between the characters such as both of them training in combat after leaving incarceration in preparation for their plans of revenge and both pursuing revenge against a group of powerful and wealthy conspirators. Her pursuit of revenge has been noted as a sympathetic aspect of the character. Commentators cited the — global recession as making viewers more receptive to Thorne's efforts to get revenge against a group of privileged elites for the harm they caused her family.
Real-life couple Emily Vancamp and Josh Bowman get touchy-feely on the set of Revenge. His venomous bite still harbours resentment that they costarred in.

Spoilers ahead! Daniel, meanwhile, watches his missus float away and returns to the party as if nothing has happened. I think that we found elegant ways out of these problems that really give us tons more story going into the back half of the season. We toyed with so many different people. There was a time that we played out what if it was Aiden who shot her, and then we realized that that just would seem so incongruous with the couple that we know them as.

By Brian Gallagher For Dailymail. The wedding comes exactly five years to the date that their characters Emily Thorne and Daniel Grayson were married in the Revenge Season 3 mid-season finale, which aired December 15, This real-life wedding turned out much better than the show wedding, where Bowman's Grayson shot VanCamp's Thorne in the stomach shortly after the vows were exchanged. While VanCamp didn't share any photos from the wedding, she did share a rather serene snap of her at the beach on Friday.
Revenge ran four seasons on ABC from to , with the couple starting to date in VanCamp, 32, and Bowman, 30, announced they were engaged in May , with the actress telling Entertainment Tonight that he, 'did good. So yeah, it was great, beautiful. VanCamp also teased in an earlier interview that she's looking forward to starting a family. When asked about her plans for starting a family, in an interview on The Meredith Viera Show in , the actress said, 'Yes, absolutely, especially when your sisters are you just want to jump on the bandwagon.
Amanda and Daniel were husband and wife. They got engaged two times before getting married, but their marriage didn't last that much because Daniel discovered that Amanda had been lying to him. After that they became enemies, trying to destroy each other, until they make peace in Daniel's final moments before he died.

LeBron James and the Cavaliers work out on the beach in Brazil. Life is tough down there.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had almost a week to kill before their pre-season game in Rio De Janeiro against the Miami Heat last weekend, and it appears they took some of that time to get in a tropical workout. The video above shows LeBron James and Tristan Thompson collaborating on some Resistance Band Pulls to work their core while the rest of the team performed a Lunge series closer to the water. LeBron then drops down into a series of Push-Ups before getting into the Lunge series, which featured a Forward Lunge, 45-Degree Lunge and Side Lunge with each leg. Some of James's teammates' form is lackluster, but LeBron's form on the Lunge series is exquisite. The Cavs regular season tips off Oct. 30 against the New York Knicks.

Robert McWhirter: "The Constitution and Donald J. Trump"
Friday, February 15th, 2019, 6 p.m.
Attorney and Bill of Rights expert Robert McWhirter presents the next in his ongoing series about President Trump and the Constitution.
Tonight, attorney and Bill of Rights expert Robert McWhirter leads a presentation and question-and-answer session about what the Constitution really says about what Trump wants to do.
How does the 18th-century language of our Constitution play out against the language of Donald Trump's Twitter account? Is Donald Trump the first to attack the press? What does the Constitution allow Donald Trump to do with freedom of religion? Can Donald Trump really punish somebody for burning the American flag or take away their citizenship? Are there really 12 articles of the Constitution that Trump "fully supports." Is a ban of Muslims coming into the country Constitutional? Can a President have a conflict of interest and just what the heck is an emolument? Can the President fire an FBI Director? We will discuss all of these and more as we go through the history and meaning of the United States Constitution.
Copies of McWhirter's book Bills, Quills, and Stills will be available at Gibson's Bookstores.
Attorney ROBERT MCWHIRTER is an award-winning, internationally recognized speaker and author on trial advocacy, immigration law, and the history of The Bill of Rights. He is a certified Specialist in Criminal Law with the State Bar of Arizona and first chair qualified to defend capital cases by the Arizona Supreme Court. Fluent in Spanish, McWhirter has extensively taught comparative criminal procedure and trial advocacy in Latin America. In 2010-11, he served in El Salvador, administering an $11M USAID project to reform the justice system, overseeing programs and trainings for the Salvadoran courts, police, prosecutors and public defenders. McWhirter's previously published book, The Criminal Lawyer's Guide To Immigration Law: Questions and Answers (ABA, 2006), was extensively quoted in 2010 by Justice Alito in Padilla vs. Kentucky. Mr. McWhirter is currently in private practice doing criminal defense.
There has rarely been a more appropriate time for a book tracing the history and contemporary interpretation of the ten articles comprising the Bill of Rights.

Focus Features remains one of the rare specialty film companies tied to a major studio. And at the moment, it has more to brag about than its parent Universal Pictures.
Focus celebrated Mother's Day with the better-than-expected debut of its feel-good documentary "Babies," which chronicles the lives of four infants around the world from birth to first steps.
The movie company, known for such unconventional hits as "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lost in Translation," also has one of the most anticipated independent movies of the summer coming July 7, the family comedy-drama "The Kids Are All Right" starring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a lesbian couple whose two teenage kids seek out their sperm donor.
"Babies," a low-cost acquisition, will no doubt make money for Focus, and prospects for "The Kids Are All Right" appear strong based on the positive buzz the film has generated since Focus bought its distribution rights at January's Sundance Film Festival for just under $5 million.
Such promise is welcome news at Focus, which could use a hit following the flame-outs of its recent releases "Greenberg," starring Ben Stiller as a failed musician, and "Taking Woodstock," about the role a dilapidated Catskills motel played in the famed 1969 music festival.
Despite a mixed track record, Focus has been consistently profitable over its eight-year history and occasionally hits a home run, as it did with Ang Lee's 2005 drama "Brokeback Mountain," about a secret love affair between two cowboys, and with the animated feature "Coraline," which it didn't produce but which earned Focus a hefty fee for distributing.
But, like all distributors of high-brow independent movies aimed at adult audiences, Focus finds itself under the watchful eye of its corporate parent to meet financial targets amid a tough climate that has prompted a steep decline in DVD sales, among other challenges.
"The business is tougher and we face the same pressures as everyone else," said Focus Chief Executive James Schamus. "We have always managed to keep costs and overhead down — but I always think it's fair to demand more from ourselves."
With Walt Disney Co. poised to sell Miramax Films, Focus will become one of the only remaining specialty film companies owned by a major studio, along with News Corps.' Fox Searchlight and Sony Corp.'s Sony Pictures Classics. The other media giants, among them Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. and Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures, have opted out of the low-return independent movie business after a slew of box-office misses and mushrooming overhead and marketing costs made the economics unworkable. These studios have expressed a preference for more mainstream, branded entertainment with greater upside potential.
Many in Hollywood questioned whether Universal might look to unload Focus for similar reasons when in mid-March the studio entertained an unsolicited offer to buy the specialty label and its 250-title library from film finance and production outfit Media Rights Capital. While a deal never materialized, the serious nature of the talks sparked widespread speculation that Focus would be the next casualty and that Universal would willingly part with the label if it could ever fetch a high enough price, which some estimate to be around $500 million.
That would seem to be wishful thinking, given that Miramax and its much bigger library of 611 films has a current price of $625 million. Last year, Universal sold Focus' genre label Rogue Pictures for more than $100 million.
The Universal brass is itself under enormous pressure from corporate parent NBC Universal after a dismal box office run in 2009 that continued with this year's "Green Zone" and "Wolf Man" and soft results from "Robin Hood." It is unclear how the proposed purchase of NBC Universal by Comcast Corp. will affect the movie studio and its various holdings, including Focus.
Ron Meyer, president of Universal Studios, insists that Focus is neither being shopped nor in immediate danger of being downsized. Meyer noted that Focus continues to be a prestige business and that Universal likes having it in its fold.
"Focus has been consistently profitable for the last eight years and we are committed to the management team and the films they produce and distribute," Meyer said. "At the present time, there are no plans to scale back the number of films or headcount at Focus," which employs 95 people in New York, Los Angeles and London.
And why would there be? Focus is not a financial drain on Universal's coffers.
Executives at the studio explain that Focus' business model enables it to operate largely autonomously from the studio. Historically, it has generated enough positive cash flow from its movies and library sales to more than cover its annual operating expenses, including overhead, development, production, acquisition, marketing and distribution costs.
Focus funds its movies through the combination of foreign pre-sales, a co-financing deal with Dresdner Bank and by taking on equity partners on a picture-by-picture basis. Unlike most other specialty units, Focus has a strong international sales arm that enables it to reap foreign as well as domestic revenue on its pictures.
Still, Focus has to operate within agreed-upon annual budget parameters, as well as meet performance targets, which according to Universal executives it has exceeded more often than not.
As for the fate of Focus, Schamus simply quipped: "All these rumors about a big sale of Focus are flattering, of course — who doesn't want to be worth gazillions of dollars? But, the support and understanding we get every day from the team at Universal is more flattering still."

Big Asteroid's Approach in November Excites Astronomers
By Space.com Staff

An asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will come closer to Earth this autumn than our own moon does, causing scientists to hold their breath as it zooms by. But they'll be nervous with excitement, not with worry about a possible disaster.
There's no danger of an impact when the asteroid 2005 YU55 makes its close flyby Nov. 8, coming within 201,700 miles (325,000 kilometers) of Earth, scientists say.
So they're looking forward to the encounter, which could help them learn more about big space rocks.
"While near-Earth objects of this size have flown within a lunar distance in the past, we did not have the foreknowledge and technology to take advantage of the opportunity," Barbara Wilson, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said in a statement. "When it flies past, it should be a great opportunity for science instruments on the ground to get a good look." [Photos: Asteroids in Deep Space]
Getting to know YU55
Asteroid 2005 YU55 is about 1,300 feet (400 meters) wide. It was discovered in December 2005 by the Spacewatch program at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Because of the asteroid's size and orbital characteristics, astronomers have flagged 2005 YU55 as potentially dangerous down the road. But the upcoming encounter is no cause for alarm, researchers said.

"YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over, at the very least, the next 100 years," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at JPL. "During its closest approach, its gravitational effect on the Earth will be so minuscule as to be immeasurable. It will not affect the tides or anything else." [5 Reasons to Care About Asteroids]
This round space rock has been in astronomers' cross hairs before. In April 2010, astronomers at the National Science Foundation's Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico generated some ghostly radar images of 2005 YU55 when the asteroid was about 1.5 million miles (2.3 million km) from Earth.
But those pictures had a resolution of just 25 feet (7.5 meters) per pixel. The November close pass should provide some sharper images.
"When 2005 YU55 returns this fall, we intend to image it at 4-meter resolution [13 feet] with our recently upgraded equipment at the Deep Space Network at Goldstone, California," said JPL radar astronomer Lance Benner. "Plus, the asteroid will be seven times closer. We're expecting some very detailed radar images."
A radar astronomy opportunity
Radar astronomy employs the world's biggest dish-shaped antennas. The antennas direct microwave signals at celestial targets that can be as far away as the moons of Saturn.
These signals bounce off the target, and the resulting "echo" helps researchers create radar images. These images can then be used to reconstruct detailed, three-dimensional models of the object.
With 4-meter-per-pixel resolution, the new views of 2005 YU55 should be pretty sharp, perhaps even showing boulders and craters, researchers said.
"We're talking about getting down to the kind of surface detail you dream of when you have a spacecraft fly by one of these targets," Benner said.
The data collected from Arecibo, Goldstone and ground-based optical and infrared telescopes also should help detail the mineral composition of the asteroid, researchers said.
"This is a C-type asteroid, and those are thought to be representative of the primordial materials from which our solar system was formed," Wilson said. "This flyby will be an excellent opportunity to test how we study, document and quantify which asteroids would be most appropriate for a future human mission."
The capabilities of the Goldstone antenna, in California's Mojave Desert, and of Arecibo are complementary. The Arecibo radar is about 20 times more sensitive and can detect asteroids about twice as far away. But its main dish is stationary, so it can see only about a third of the sky. Goldstone is fully steerable and can see about 80 percent of the accessible sky, so it can track objects for longer periods and can image asteroids at finer spatial resolution, researchers said.
Researchers are eager to train the instruments of both facilities on 2005 YU55 in November.
"So stay tuned," Yeomans said. "This is going to be fun."

We are officially knee deep in the holiday season. Holiday parties are happening almost every night where friends and families are making toasts in celebration of a fantastic year and with the excitement of all the goodness coming to everyone in the New Year. When hosting my friends in my home during the holiday season, I only want to serve them the highest quality wines, and I have recently fallen in love with Ammunition Wines.
Ammunition is the shared vision of two guys who had a dream and decided to make it happen. Andy and Bill partnered together to produce world-class wines from Sonoma County and bring them to their friends and family as a celebration of their shared American heritage. After some not-so-careful consideration, they pooled some money together with a few of their friends and started making wine.
In this way, the story of Ammunition isn't their story at all, but rather a shared celebration of the values, work ethic and ingenuity upon which our nation was built. This is a story about the underdog. About being uncompromising on quality even when faced with the prospect of competing with wineries many times our size. About believing so much in what we're doing, that we're willing to swim upstream even in the swiftest of waters. Every drop of wine they produce represents their uncommon (and admittedly, at times, obsessive) pursuit of perfection. It's the result of long hours, hard work and sleepless nights.
They set out to make a Zinfandel as tenacious as the Badgerhound. It was originally created as a pet project, but it has quickly gained a cult following in select markets nationwide. One pour, and you'll see why. The 2016 vintage presents appealing aromas of crushed raspberries and blackberries are framed by vanilla and cigar box notes. This wine shows sweet concentrated fruit in the mouth with plenty of oak, tannins and acidity to balance the ripeness. The finish is long, rich and intense. This 2016 vintage should age well for the next 5 years. Pairs great with barbecue dishes such as St. Louis-style ribs, Memphis pulled-pork and Texas-style brisket.
Light golden in color and fermented entirely in stainless steel, this wine shows aromas of honeysuckle and citrus rind with crisp flavors of green apples and citrus. The wine finishes clean and balanced with a delicate sense of elegance.Pairs great with a variety of meats such as chicken and pork. We particularly enjoy it with fresh salmon and brick chicken, as it can hold up to big flavors while not overwhelming the more delicate nuances of foods.
Ripe black cherry framed by a subtle oakiness dominate the aromas of this medium-to-full bodied Pinot Noir. Earthy cherry and strawberry flavors with subtle oak tones of vanilla spice that are embraced by smooth, silky tannins. This wine is enjoyable now and will continue to improve for years to come. Wonderfully versatile for pairing, we have particularly enjoyed this wine with pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, ribs, aged cheese, venison and an afternoon BLT.
Ammunition Wines are currently available online. Once you have one sip of their delicious wine, I guarantee that you'll want to sign-up for their wine club.

This has been on my mind for a long time. I've been pondering whether to change the spelling of "Zeal", which has an actual meaning, which might not be fitting to the series, to "Ceal", which is more original. With today's update, that change is official. From now on out, the name of the series is "The Chronicles of Ceal".
Also, I'd like to use this opportunity to officially make the Puky the mascot of Ceal. These curious and helpful Iserial beings are a trademark to the world of Ceal, and appear in each and every last one of the stories and games centered around it.
Information about another exciting tri-Tail board game is available now!
This time, it's a game set in the Ceal universe: Ceal ~ Crystal Grid.
This game is an advanced board game with lots of strategical depth. It goes from 2 to 6 players, and will keep you busy the whole afternoon (and maybe most of the evening too, if you like to plan your moves carefully). It's hard to master, but easy to learn, and will provide dedicated gamers with long hours of tactical fun.
I hope everyone has as much fun playing it as I had making it. Be of great cheer!
Sometimes, inspirations just strikes, without mercy, and you find yourself toiling the away the evenings and weekends away to create a new game. But it's worth it. Any time.
As such, tri-Tail is now proud to present: Ecchnasi - a board game about wolves and dominance.
All you need to play it is an 8x8 board, 16 white pieces, and 16 black pieces. Try it out, and tell me what you think!
Have fun, and be of great cheer!
In the last couple of months, I've been working nonstop to create refined and polished prototypes for Ceal ~ Crystal Grid and Ecchnasi. The Effort has paid off, and now these games are even more amazing than before.
I am now searching for a publisher, to help me reach a broad audience with these games, so that they can bring color to the world.
Also, Woo! The birthday of this website was on February the 7th. Congratulation to your first official birthday, tri-Tail! Thanks to all of you people! Be of great cheer!
The first step is done! Information about the world of Zeal is now freely available at our website about The Chronicles of Zeal!
And more is on its way!
Stay tuned for next our update in April 2015!
Stay tuned for our next update in March 2015!
More information about the world of Zeal is available now!
Read about the eight unique species of Zeal on the Species Page.
It may seem like overkill to make a team-page for a single person. However, since we hope that the tri-Tail team will grow, we think of it as an investment into the future. Want to join the dream, and help make the world of Zeal come true? Contact us at info@tri-tail.com !
In case you are curious: The first thing we intend to work on right now is The Crystal Seal. The other tales are roughly outlined and provide the historical background which sets the stage for this latest part. Also, the list is not finite. The four tales outlined there are merely a starting point, and many more stories can, and hopefully will take place in the world of Zeal.
I've been working hard to make the Chronicles of Ceal available to a broader audience.
Now, after weeks of preparation, the big day is finally here! The Chronicles of Ceal are now live on Patreon, Facebook and YouTube! Check out awesome content, videos, and ways to support me.
I am hoping that this campaign will help me raise some funds to secure the future of the tri-Tail projects, for I would very much like to dedicate a larger share of my time to it.
If this works out, then I'll soon have the resources required to provide you all with even more awesome stuff. So there's something for you all to look forward to.
Until then, be of great cheer!
I'm keeping myself busy working on the Crystal Seal Chronicle, so I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time to run website updates.
However, I still took a few hours to update the World section of the Chronicles of Ceal to incorporate fancy rendered shots of the continents. Also, I slightly changed the name of one continent to avoid confusions with another element of the universe. Can you guess which one?
Enjoy, and be of great cheer!
After a year-long working holiday in New Zealand, I am now finally back, and with the first book of the Crystal Seal Chronicle written, and currently undergoing review, I now finally have time again to work on the Chronicles of Ceal.
For starters, I have finished creating original artwork for each of the eight sentient species of Ceal. Check out the Species section!
Also, for those of you interested in my adventures in New Zealand, I have created an entertaining travel blog, which has the proportions of a novel, but is entirely free of charge. Enjoy!
For now, be of great cheer!
Immerse yourself in a world of epic proportions, a science-fantasy universe populated by diverse and original species, interacting with one another in harmony… or not. The history of Ceal is characterized both by gruesome conflicts born of ambitions and misunderstandings, as well as glorious golden ages brought about by collaboration and passion.
The world of Ceal is an exotic place where remnants of forgotten ages are waiting to be discovered by brave explores. It is a world where adventurers can go on jaunts around the globe, meeting new friends belonging to all sorts of fascinating species. And above all, Ceal is permeated by a mystic force known as Iserialogy that allows those who are capable of wielding it to perform mighty feats by force of will alone.
In order to raise funds for the Chronicles of Ceal, these colorful and detailed 40-page books full of artwork and in-depth lore about the world of Ceal are now on sale! You can even purchase multiple copies to save on shipping costs and get a little reward on top. If you are interested, send a mail to info@tri-tail.com.
Either way, be of great cheer everyone!

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has piled about $27 billion into Chevron and Occidental Petroleum this year. Here are 8 of Buffett's best quotes about investing in the oil business

Warren Buffett's company has bet about $27 billion on Chevron and Occidental Petroleum this year.
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO has discussed the oil business many times over the years.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has waded deep into the oil business this year, plowing an estimated $27 billion into two fossil-fuel stocks.
The famed investor's conglomerate spent roughly $17 billion quadrupling its stake in Chevron to around 8% in the first quarter, and has paid nearly $10 billion to purchase over 19% of Occidental Petroleum since the end of February.
Buffett has previously shared his views on the oil industry, helping to put those enormous wagers in context. He has boiled down investing in an oil producer to betting on the price of oil over time, and downplayed his own track record in the space. He has also underlined the importance of discovery-and-development costs, and predicted oil would be usurped by a cleaner energy source within a century.
Here are 8 of Buffett's best quotes about oil, lightly edited for length and clarity:
1. "When you buy into a huge oil production company, how it works out is going to depend on the price of oil to a great extent. It's not going to be your geological home runs or super mistakes or anything like that. It is an investment that depends on the price of oil." (2020)
2. "You've stuck a lot of straws into the Earth, and it is a finite number. So, the one thing I can almost promise you is that oil will sell for a lot more someday." (Buffett was referring to the large number of oil rigs and wells worldwide, and the increasing scarcity of oil.) (2011)
3. "We have not distinguished ourselves, at all, in the oil-and-gas field, although we've made a little money. We will not be buying, very often, oil-and-gas stocks. But we probably haven't bought the last one." (Buffett was referring to Berkshire's ill-fated bets on ConocoPhillips and Exxon.) (2015)
4. "If we were in an oil stock, it's because we think it offers a lot of value at this price, but it does not mean that we think the price of oil is going up. If we thought oil was going up, we could buy oil futures, which we actually did once." (Berkshire purchased derivative contracts for about 46 million barrels of oil in the mid-1990s.) (2007)
5. "If oil goes from $30 to $60 a barrel, there's no reason in the world why oil executives should get paid more for what's going on. They didn't get it to $60 a barrel. If they have low finding costs, which is under their control, I would pay like crazy for that. A person who finds oil and develops reserves at $6 a barrel is worth a lot more than somebody that finds and develops them at $10 a barrel, assuming they're similar-quality reserves." (2007)
6. "If you have an oil-producing company, you want a management that, over a five- or 10-year period, discovers and develops oil at lower-than-average unit cost. There's been a huge difference in performance in that among even the major companies, and I would pay the people that did that well. I would pay them very well, because they're creating wealth for me." (2006)
7. "It's contributed in a huge way to the prosperity of the world. But the world will not be dependent upon that particular - call it 'windfall' - for the next 100 years. There will be other free lunches available." (Buffett was discussing how long oil would continue playing a vital role in economic development.) (2010)
8. "It wasn't that long ago, that the idea that anybody produced a barrel of oil was, somehow, something terrible. I mean, just try doing without 11 million barrels a day and see what happens tomorrow. If we were to try and change over, in three years, or five years, nobody knows what would happen. But the odds that it would work well are extremely low. For now, most people feel that it's nicer to have some oil in this country than not have it." (2022)

Hormones act to help different parts of an organism to function in a coordinated way. The word hormone is derived from Greek and means, "to set in motion." Hormones control a number of bodily functions including growth, development, and reproduction. Among the many functions that these chemicals regulate are; metabolism growth, sexual function & reproduction, production of various blood components, reaction to stress, and regulation of other hormones. We have a wide range of hormone replacement supplements to help replace the declining levels we experience as we age.

The United States and China may be nearing a trade deal.
During Tuesday's meeting with reporters at the White House, President Donald Trump said that the "phase one" trade deal was close to complete, following phone discussions between Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
"We're in the final throes of a very important deal," Trump said. "It's going very well."
Separately, a statement from China's Ministry of Commerce read that delegates from the world's two largest economies have "reached consensus on how to resolve relevant issues" and "agreed to maintain communication on remaining issues" that would make up the first phase of their agreement.

The comments signal progress on the status of a more-than-yearlong trade dispute that has seen heavy import taxes on billions of dollars' worth of goods from both countries.
Last week, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson Gao Feng said that China was ready to work with the U.S. to resolve concerns "on the basis of equality and mutual respect" as they approach a deal that "serves the interests of both countries and the rest of the world."
The countries in October said they were working to hash out a "phase one" agreement but had since made conflicting announcements on what such a deal would entail. On Nov. 7, Gao said that the U.S. and China had reached a deal to roll back tariffs scheduled to take effect in mid-December. A day later, however, Trump denied having agreed to curtail those duties.
In the past year and a half, the U.S. and China have imposed new duties on billions of dollars in items coming from both countries. The first round of the fourth tranche of tariffs hit businesses on Sept. 1, introducing a 15% levy on certain Chinese products, including footwear, apparel and accessories.
Less than three weeks remain before the tariffs on the second round of the fourth tranche are scheduled to take effect on Dec. 15. The 15% duty would also affect a wide variety of consumer goods.

Is there an interest in this area for a route?
I live out in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley of California and was wondering if there is going to be a route through the central valley. I was excited to see the Sierra Cascades route open. It has always amazed me that health conscious California doesn't promote more cycling in the state.
Re: Is there an interest in this area for a route?
There is a book titled, "Outings on Wheels." It was put out by the Sierra Club. It maps out quite a few bike routes in that region.
I have lived in California's Central Valley for decades and understand some of the demographic and climatic challenges of this state. Water is not the only resource that gets sucked up by the huge cities (voting blocks) on the coast. In addition to the dryness, it gets infernally hot in the northern Sacramento Valley and in the southern San Joaquin Valley during the summer.
These are tremendously large valleys, with relatively few people living in them. California's State Route system roads usually have some decent shoulders on them, but those quite often get dicey or peter out altogether.
All that said - and lack of bike route notwithstanding - I am planning to ride State Route 33 from Tracy to Ventura this summer (July 2013). Wish me luck.
Yes, we need a central California route. California being such a large state with so much to offer we need a way to enjoy the state by bicycle.
Is there any traction on this issue?

In your search for information on how to feed a baby squirrel, you may have come across some website(s) that tell you that a "scalded cow's milk" formula is the answer to your prayers. However, it is exactly the opposite. In most cases, it will damage or kill the squirrel. The individual who promotes this unhealthy, unscientific "scalded milk" formula has been stripped of her license to rehab wildlife and has had squirrels removed from her premises. Like most zealots, she is very convincing, AND SHE IS VERY WRONG.
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE SQUIRREL COW'S MILK -- SCALDED OR ANY OTHER WAY!! It will cause most squirrel babies to sicken from diarrhea, and then die. It is NOT USED by the vast majority of licensed rehabilitators, wildlife centers or wildlife veterinarians.
Fox Valley 20/50 (available online only, see below) for BABIES FOUR WEEKS OLD AND OLDER.
If you call in your order and tell him you need it quickly he'll be happy to oblige. He can ship to you regular post 3-5 days and overnight. He's very nice and very easy to work with.
In the meantime you will need to feed your baby a home-made formula, but please for the sake of the baby, do not feed this for more than 4-7 days. It's a great temporary replacer milk but it lacks certain vitamins and minerals that the babies need to thrive. This recipe will ensure that your baby will be well nourished until your order from Fox Valley arrives. Jackie (Jackie in Tampa) has graciously offered her temporary replacement formula recipe.
Mix well and keep in a covered plastic or glass container in the refrigerator. Replace after 48 hours.
Please note, this website has several links that still mention Esbilac and we need to keep these links active as they do contain excellent information so please keep in mind that Fox Valley is now the formula of choice for raising baby squirrels.
Please don't add your squirrel to the list of damaged and/or dead babies who were fed scalded milk!

Stroller Sponsorship Provides New Revenue Sources for Your Mall - Smarte Carte, Inc.
ST. PAUL, MN (FEBRUARY 2008) –– Smarte Carte, the leading provider of self-serve strollers and shopping carts at U.S. shopping centers, is launching a new sponsorship program that allows malls to make their mall stroller service part of their media mix.
For shopping centers, including Smarte Wheels mall strollers in their sponsorship portfolio couldn't be easier. The center is in complete control of selling the sponsorship and pays Smarte Carte a one-time project coordination fee and a per stroller/per month fee to handle program execution. Smarte Carte manages production of the advertising decals, installation, maintenance and removal of the decals at the end of the campaign. The mall keeps 100% of the sponsorship dollars.
Current Smarte Carte mall stroller customers should contact Smarte Carte for more information and to initiate the program.
If your mall doesn't have a Smarte Carte stroller service, this sponsorship opportunity is just one more good reason to update your mall stroller program. A Smarte Wheels stroller system is available through Smarte Carte's popular Revenue Share Concession Option, where the shopping center receives a state-of-the-art, self-serve solution without any out-of-pocket investment in equipment. Smarte Carte absorbs the ongoing costs of operating the mall stroller service and shares the revenue with the shopping center.
At Smarte Carte, our job is to never stop looking ahead. As a business that began 40 years ago with a simple solution to help people move luggage through airports, Smarte Carte is now helping people with a growing list of services in a growing number of places – from transportation terminals to shopping centers and entertainment venues – around the globe. With its corporate headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, Smarte Carte currently has more than 1,300 employees managing its services at more than 1,000 locations on five continents.

If you rent a house or apartment and think that your landlord is financially responsible when there is a fire, theft or other catastrophe—think again.
Your landlord may have insurance to protect the building you are living in. But your landlord's policy won't replace your personal possessions or pay for your living expenses while the building is being repaired.
The only way to protect yourself financially against disasters is to buy a renters insurance policy.
Standard renters insurance protects your personal belongings against damage from fire, smoke, lightning, vandalism, theft, explosion, windstorm, water and other disasters listed in the policy. Floods and earthquakes are not covered. Supplemental insurance is available to cover these disasters—see the Frequently Asked Questions section of the brochure for more information.
To decide how much insurance to buy, you need to know the value of all your personal possessions—including furniture, clothing, electronics, appliances, kitchen utensils and even towels and bedding. In other words, if your home were to burn, you should have enough insurance to replace all of your possessions.
The easiest way to figure out how much insurance coverage to buy is to create a home inventory (a detailed list of all of your personal possessions, with their estimated value). An up-to-date home inventory will also make filing an insurance claim faster and easier.
Standard renters insurance policies provide liability protection against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you or your family members cause to other people. It also pays for damage your pets cause. So, for example, if your son, daughter or dog accidentally ruins your neighbor's expensive rug, you'll be covered. However, if your children or pets destroy your own rug, you will not be covered.
The liability portion of a renters policy pays for both the cost of defending you in court and for court awards, up to the limit of the policy. Liability limits generally start at about $100,000. Some experts recommend that you buy at least $300,000 worth of protection. You can also buy an Umbrella or Excess Liability policy, which provides higher limits and broader coverage. Generally, umbrella policies cost between $200 to $350 a year for an extra $1 million of liability protection.
Your policy also provides No-fault Medical coverage. So, if a friend or neighbor is injured in your home, you can submit their medical bills directly to your insurance company. You can generally get $1,000 to $5,000 worth of this coverage. It doesn't, however, pay the medical bills for your own family or your pet.
Many people don't know that Additional Living Expenses coverage, also known as ALE, is included in a renters insurance policy. If your home is destroyed by a disaster that your policy covers and you need to live elsewhere, renters insurance covers your additional living expenses. Policies will generally reimburse you the difference between your additional living expenses and your normal living expenses. ALE covers hotel bills, temporary rentals, restaurant meals and other expenses you have incurred while your home is being rebuilt.
Replacement Cost pays the actual cost of replacing your possessions (with no deduction for depreciation), up to the limit of your policy. The price of Replacement Cost coverage is about 10 percent more than Actual Cash Value coverage but can be well worth the extra cost.
Renters insurance is easy to get, and there are many insurance companies to choose from. Insurers who offer homeowners insurance generally also sell renters insurance. In fact, a renters insurance policy and a homeowners insurance policy are almost identical. The main difference is that a renters policy doesn't include coverage for the building, since the landlord owns that.
Prices vary from company to company, so it pays to shop around. Get at least three price quotes. You can call companies directly or get quotes from the Internet. Your state insurance department (contact information is on the back of this brochure) may also provide information about prices.
Get quotes from different types of insurance companies. Some insurers sell through their own agents. These agencies have the same name as the insurance company. Some sell through independent agents, who offer policies from several insurance companies. Others don't use agents at all but sell directly to consumers over the phone or via the Internet.
But don't shop by price alone. Select a company that answers your questions and handles claims fairly and efficiently. Ask friends and relatives for their recommendations.
Look for an agent or company representative who takes the time to answer your questions. Remember, you'll be dealing with this person if you have an accident or other emergency.
These are some ways to save money on premiums: Consider taking a higher deductible (the amount of money you have to pay toward a loss before your insurance company starts to pay a claim). The higher your deductible, the more money you save on your premium. Consider a deductible of at least $500. If you can afford to raise it to $1,000, you may get as much as 25 percent off your premium. Remember, though, that you'll pay the deductible each time you file a claim.
Insurance companies often offer discounts on renters insurance if you have another policy with them for your car or business. You can also get discounts if your apartment has a security system, smoke detectors or deadbolt locks. More discounts might be available depending on your age or whether or not you smoke.
If you are the victim of a theft or your home has been vandalized or burglarized, report it to the police. Get a police report and the names of all law enforcement officers that you speak with.
Do I have the coverage I need?
Does my claim exceed my deductible?
How long will it take to process the claim?
You'll need to substantiate your loss. Don't throw out damaged items until a claims adjuster has visited your home. You should also consider photographing or videotaping the damage. Prepare a list of damaged or stolen items for your adjuster along with copies of receipts.
If your home is severely damaged and you need to find other accommodations while repairs are being made, keep records of all expenses.
Once you've notified your insurer of your claim, the company is required to send the necessary claim forms to you by the end of a set time period. (The time period varies from state to state.) Return the properly filled out forms as soon as possible to speed up your claim.
If you feel your insurer hasn't given you satisfactory service, you should talk to the agent or company representative who sold you your policy or your insurer's claims manager. If you're still unhappy, contact your state insurance department or local consumer protection office to discuss what you can do.
State insurance department telephone numbers and Web site addresses can be found here.
Q. Is my bicycle covered by renters insurance?
A. Your bicycle and other recreational or sports equipment are covered. There are also special policies you can buy for very expensive sports equipment.
Q. Is my car covered?
A. Vehicles aren't covered by renters insurance. You need to get a separate auto insurance policy to drive legally and protect your car, van or motorcycle.
Q. As a student, am I covered by my parents' insurance?
A. If you're a college student living in a dorm and are still part of your parents' household, their homeowners or renters insurance provides coverage. If you live off campus, you'll probably need your own renters policy. Policies can vary, so speak to your insurer about this.
Q. Can I purchase a renters policy with my roommate or domestic partner?
what regulations apply where you live. Some insurance companies allow unmarried couples who have been living together to buy joint coverage. But a domestic partner is usually not automatically insured, like a husband or wife, under the partner's policy. He or she must be specifically named.
Q. What happens if something I have rented or borrowed is stolen?
A. Items that are "in your possession" are covered under a standard renters policy, whether they are things that you've bought, received as gifts or borrowed.
Q. Is my property covered away from home?
A. Yes, most renters polices include what is called Off-premises coverage. This means that belongings that are outside of your home are also covered against the same disasters listed in your policy. For example, property stolen from your car would be covered. However, there are generally dollar limits on the amount you can be reimbursed. For example, if you have $25,000 worth of personal possessions insurance, you may be covered for up to $2,500, or 10 percent of the total.
Q. Are my valuables covered by my renters insurance policy?
A. In general you are covered for up to $1,500 for jewelry or other expensive items that are destroyed or lost to fire, windstorms, theft or other perils that are listed in your policy. If your valuables are worth more than that, you should consider purchasing a "floater," also called an "endorsement," to increase the amount of coverage.
Q. How can I protect my house or apartment against a flood or earthquake?
A. Renters insurance does not cover floods or earthquakes. Flood coverage is available from the National Flood Insurance Program (888-379-9531, www.floodsmart.gov ) and from a few private insurers. You can get this coverage, however, from the same agent or company representative who sold you the renters insurance policy. Earthquake coverage can be a separate policy or an "endorsement" to your renters policy.

The Myth of Matter, p. 7

Orthodoxy in Science
Having learned how harmful it can be to cling to one's ideology – regardless of how well-reasoned that ideology might be – it may seem puzzling to learn that the ideas of Euclid, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Mendeleev gained the same force of orthodoxy in science as the Inquisitors' words had in Christendom. Looking at the timeline, it is even more astounding that this seemed to occur in the blink of an eye! Here is the story of how it happened.
Einstein: Time Magazine's "Person of the Century"
By the end of the 19th century it appeared to everyone that the physics frontier would soon close.[1] The Newtonian view of a mechanical universe had been reinforced with theories of electromagnetism and chemistry. It seemed that remained only a few details to be nailed down in order that the natural laws could be written in their final form. (These details included inconsistencies in the measured speed of light, the distribution of mass inside atoms, something called "The Balmer Series, and other esoterica.) The giant problem hidden in the details was that the Newtonian model depended on the twin myths of absolute time and absolute space.
The Davidic figure who slew this two-headed Goliath was Albert Einstein. In 1905, what became known as his "miracle year," Einstein published four articles–
"On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light" contains Einstein's proposal that energy is carried by light in discrete quantities.
"On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid, as Required by the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Heat" finally put an end to lingering doubts about the existence of atoms.
"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" introduced Einstein's theory of relativity.
"Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?" contains the now universally recognized mass-energy relationship, E = mc2.
How much controversy did Einstein cause? When he was finally awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, it was "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."[2] No direct mention was made of the ubiquitous E = mc2!
Further evidence of controversy can be found in the text of the 1921 Nobel Prize Award Speech. "There is probably no physicist living today whose name has become so widely known as that of Albert Einstein. Most discussion centers on his theory of relativity. This pertains essentially to epistemology and has therefore been the subject of lively debate in philosophical circles."[3] Notice how the speaker, Svante Arrhenius, denigrated Einstein's physical theory of relativity as being mere philosophy.
One last interesting tidbit is that Einstein did not receive his prize until one year later, in 1922, because the Nobel Committee for Physics decided that none of the nominees met Alfred Nobel's standards. So they haggled over it for another year before belatedly giving the award to Einstein.[4]
Einstein's equations forced open once more the closed frontier of physics. They predicted moving clocks ran slower than stationary ones, objects weighed more when they were moving than when they were at rest, and objects experienced a contraction in length – but not height or width – when moving in the direction of their measured lengths.

Einstein was unorthodox, in a nutshell.
un·or·tho·dox/ˌənˈôrTHəˌdäks/
Adjective:
Contrary to what is usual, traditional, or accepted; not orthodox.
He was contrary to what was traditional and accepted. He was shunned by the leaders of the scientific community, and they treated him in a similar way that the Catholic Church treated Galileo.
Sort of like the parable of the beam and the mote…
… or did you mean to say that the writing is unclear, or that the reason for writing is unclear?
