Ty Bollinger is considered a modern day hero and life saver to thousands of people around the world (including myself). His "Quest for the Cures" and "The Truth About Cancer – A Global Quest" documentaries took the world by storm back in 2015 and 2016 and have been viewed by millions world-wide. What's more, thousands of cancer sufferers (now ex cancer suffers) have come forward, telling their stories and sharing how The Truth About Cancer saved their life. If you haven't already watched "The Truth About Cancer – A Global Quest" documentaries then I would strongly urge you to check these out as soon as possible at either The Truth About Cancer website… thetruthaboutcancer.com or The Truth About Cancer YouTube channel (The Truth About Cancer YouTube).
Even if you don't have cancer, you still MUST watch this incredible series for the life saving prevention tips (remember, at least 1 in 3 people will get cancer during their lifetime). The powerful information contained in these videos could just save your life or the life of a loved one! As Ty says… "Cancer does not have to be a death sentence".
You can also find Ty's stunning follow-up book "The Truth About Cancer" in all good book stores or online from places such as Amazon, along with his other best-selling books "Cancer: Step Outside the Box", and my personal favorite, "Monumental Myths of the Modern Medical Mafia and Mainstream Media and the Multitude of Lying Liars That Manufactured Them" (I just love the name).
I have to say, meeting Ty for the first time and interviewing him was an absolute privilege and an honor. He's a very down to earth guy (as you'll see in the interview) and he and I hit it off straight away. In fact, we're planning a couple more interviews down the track. The one thing that really struck me about Ty from the get go was his sincerity and genuineness. You can see that he really does care and genuinely wants to help people.
Ty covers a lot of great things in this interview, including his thoughts of medicinal cannabis, how the Quest for the Cures came about, those early death threats, and lots more. At the end, he talks about his next big project, which is going to be an absolute cracker, so you definitely don't want to miss that!
So enough from me, click on the video below to hear what Ty has to say.
I highly recommend you now take the time to check out The Truth About Cancer website in full… thetruthaboutcancer.com. There are so many good articles there, including some amazing cancer survival stories. Like I said in the interview, watch the short featured video and definitely watch the "Ty Solo" video that you'll find in the about section. It's very powerful. You can also find The Truth About Cancer on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram so be sure to check those out too.
In addition, if you enjoyed this interview and what Ty had to say then help spread the good word by sharing it with others. We very much appreciate it.

Nome Court has moved into its new quarters
Thu, 10/15/2020 - 7:31pm admin
The Nome Trial Court has moved into new quarters in the old hospital at 506 W. 5th Ave. The remodeling of the space occupied by the court is nearly complete. "We're mostly moved in but there are still little details still being worked on," said Court Clerk Crystal Toolie. "Like our front desk counter needs the bullet proof glass installed. Our parking lot will have plug-ins installed. But we are mostly moved in and everything is mostly complete."
The court system did not renew their lease on offices in the Federal Building on Front St.
The official functions of the court are up and running, said Toolie. "We are able to record so we're having all of our hearings telephonically. That has already started."
The first event involving people present was a grand jury session on Wednesday, with 14 jurors present. Toolie showed where markers on the rug would show jurors where to place themselves in accordance with social distancing.
How do the court's nine employees like the new location? "They all love it," said Toolie. "They miss the scenic view from the last location, but they love this new facility. We wish there was a little bit more storage space but we like how functional this space is."

How One of Our Own is Dealing with COVID-19
Blog, Dutch, International, Media, Personal
In Europe, very few people have heard of Fred Rogers, or Mr. Rogers, as he was known to millions of Americans.
The Mister Rogers' Neighborhood TV show for preschoolers aired from 1968 to 2001, and it continues to run in syndication and on streaming services today. Last year saw the premiere of the movie A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, starring Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers.
Fred Rogers was an expert at translating the complex adult world in terms kids could understand. His shows are still a resource for parents on talking to children about tragic events such as school shootings and killer viruses.
Rogers is often quoted as saying:
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"
As the world is dealing with the Corona virus, one of those helpers is a colleague of ours whom I interviewed for this blog not so long ago. She was supposed to come to VO Atlanta, but COVID-19 disrupted her plans. Her name: Jolanda Bayens.
Jolanda is one of Holland's most prominent voice overs, and the founder and CEO of the Voice Over College, a training institute for voice actors.
Twenty-six years ago, Jolanda was a nurse, specializing in terminal care. After her studies she worked at a hospice, and later in home nursing. She fell and broke her pelvis in three locations. A few years later they discovered she had a condition that caused her bones to break very easily and significantly. She was declared unfit to work because the fractures didn't heal properly.
Today, Jolanda is back in her nurse's uniform, being one of the helpers. I asked her to tell her story:
Jolanda Bayens
"When the Corona crisis hit the Netherlands, I felt an urge. The urge to help. After all, I am a trained nurse, and taking care of people is not something one easily forgets.
I don't work in a hospital, but in a place that takes care of the weakest people in our society: a nursing home. In the Netherlands, just like anywhere else, entire wards have been isolated from the outside world because patients have COVID-19. In those wards, a silent disaster is taking place, right under our noses.
I take care of 34 people who suffer from all types of dementia. Most of them aren't ambulatory anymore. They don't know who they are, let alone who I am. They're confused, lonely, and unable to carry on a conversation. They look at you with hollow eyes, and listen with ears that do not understand what's going on.
These people are bedridden, and one is sicker than the other. The virus is unpredictable. In the morning someone can seem wide awake and alert, and in the afternoon that same person is down with a high fever. Their oxygen level is low, so they're short of breath. About a third of infected patients won't make it. Physically, they were already weak, and this virus causes severe pneumonia which is usually the cause of death.
LACK OF PROTECTION AND EQUIPMENT
We have only one oxygen saturation monitor that measures the oxygen level of all 140 patients. There are safety goggles available, but we don't have enough of them. We really have no idea if we have enough face masks and protective clothing for everyone in the near future. We're using one face mask and one apron per shift, which is against regulations, but we have no choice. We're constantly begging for more.
My heart breaks for my patients. Every hour of my shift their condition deteriorates. Because there aren't enough nurses and the family isn't allowed to help, I feel like I'm constantly running behind.
As soon as someone is close to death, we call the family. Only one person is allowed in the room with the patient. Most of the time that's a partner or a child. The rest of the next of kin has to say their goodbyes outside, waiting in front of a window. Fortunately, my section is on the ground floor. Otherwise this wouldn't even be possible. The person who has been with the patient then has to be self-quarantined.
About half of the permanent staff has chosen not to work on my floor as long as there's COVID-19. A small group of caregivers is forced to make that choice because their husband, wife, or child is part of a risk group. They fear infection. I do understand that, but I also notice that this causes resentment among the caregivers who are continuing to work on the COVID ward.
All in all I feel frustrated. There aren't enough caregivers, and those who are working are exhausted. There's a lack of qualified nurses and we cannot protect our patients or ourselves. The family of the people we care for isn't always understanding. They get angry and blame us for the infection. That really hurts.
So, why are we continuing to care for our patients, possibly risking our own lives? Because we're afraid that no one else will help these fragile people who are totally dependent on others. They deserve as much care as anyone else.
I've seen signs outside of hospitals saying that the people who work there are heroes. Every now and then people start applauding the doctors and nurses. That doesn't happen where I work.
I'm afraid that the people I take care of are part of a forgotten group. Small local businesses, however, have not forgotten us. Almost every day they send us flowers and yummy treats which are very much appreciated.
Today, I'm off. That means: I work from home. I do the laundry, I run the house, I cook, and I record voice overs, of course. The show must go on. Thank goodness the projects keep coming in, even though there aren't as many as in normal times. Tomorrow, after my morning shift in the nursing home, I'm going to rest up a bit. That way I'm ready to teach my beginner voice acting class in the evening.
I want to stress that my fellow nurses and I don't see ourselves as heroes. We just want to do what we can, because if we don't, no one else will do it.
It's all about loving our fellow human beings.
Regardless of who they are, or what state they'e in."
Jolanda Bayens, voice over/nurse

Joe J Thomas says
Thank you for all you do, Jolanda.
My father suffered from dementia, and I was always grateful he had such kind people casting for him.
Stay safe and healthy,
Fenella Fudge says
Thank you for stepping back up, it's a remarkable and brave thing to do, especially with such poor supplies of PPE. So glad the small businesses are rewarding you a little… I hope that when we do clap, you know you ARE in our thoughts, along with all the hidden keyworkers who keep the world going. Thank you for sharing your huge heart and skills with strangers who so desperately need you x
Monique Bagwell says
Thank you for sharing her story. My sister works in Human Resources at a hospital in Brooklyn, one of the hardest hit cities. She sees the trailers of the makeshift morgues from her window. She shares many of these same concerns that her healthcare providers face. I am proud of her continued efforts to help keep the staffing going but am also very concerned for her own safety. While they dont see themselves as heroes they are certainly examples of the selflessness of a caring soul and we are blessed to have them fighting on all our behalf.
Marie Hoffman says
Jolanda,
The care and attention you're giving your patients is not going unnoticed by them. I believe they know they're being cared for and, above all, loved by a very special human being. Thank you for being there for them, for having the courage to show up everyday and care for them.
The world needs more Jolandas.
Debby Barnes says
This is most definitely a blog that needs to be read. What a revealing account of life outside our doors, right now. Sigh… Thank you a thousand times for writing it and for allowing Jolanda to tell her story. She is a selfless, lion-hearted volunteer.
Sybil Johnson says
Many thanks for sharing your story. My step-dad had a stroke in February and is in a nursing home now. We value his caregivers more than we can say! Thank you do taking up the mask again and caring for these vulnerable patients. Peace, health and strength to you.
Susan Hadash says
Thank you so much for caring for those vulnerable people. Wishing you and yours good health!
Sylvie Grimm says
You definitely are a hero! Thanks for sharing your story and for being the caring and compassionate human being we all SO need in this difficult time. As a mom, it is so reassuring that people like you are present in the front lines to care for our loved ones (older and younger!) if they are sick or get sick.
Stay safe, Sylvie
Lynn Norris says
You are an inspiration! Thank you for doing what youre doing and caring for those who are so vulnerable!
Alejandra Holmen says
Thank you, Paul, for making this story known to us.
My mother used to be a nurse in my home country Argentina and she worked the last years of her life caring for elders in nursing homes. She felt there is where she was needed most because, even in "normal" times, those people are lonely and many times forgotten.
I know that if she was alive today she would be doing what you are doing, in the Covid-19 ward of a nursing home, helping and loving those who are often forgotten.
Thank you for your immense heart. Please, take good care of yourself. I will be looking forward to hugging you in VOA or somewhere to thank you in person. Much love from New Mexico!(Southwest USA).

CNS Canada — Jeff Nielsen, a director with Alberta Barley, expected barley exports to make a strong showing.
Numbers recently posted by the Canadian Grain Commission confirmed the good news he had been waiting for.
The CGC numbers showed 1.73 million tonnes of Canadian barley, to all destinations, have been shipped as of the end of May for this crop year. During the same period for the 2016-17 crop year, Canada exported 1.026 million tonnes.
By July 31, the end of the current crop year, about two million tonnes will be exported, 1.3 million in feed barley and the rest in malt.
Nielsen said it's gratifying that most of the feed barley was sold this winter when prices were strong. Domestic feed prices in the Lethbridge area were consistently valued in the high end of $4 per bushel.
China was the top buyer, doubling its imports from a year ago. It took 1.573 million tonnes in this crop year, compared to 790,300 tonnes a year ago. That's a 99 per cent increase, year over year.
China's interest is likely due to weather issues in Australia, which is experiencing a harsh drought. As well, countries in the Black Sea region, Ukraine and Germany are experiencing dry conditions, limiting supply. On the flip side, producers in France are getting too much rain, Nielsen said.
Those conditions add up to a good outlook for barley, even with increased barley acreage this spring across Canada (6.499 million compared to 5.766 million in 2017) and in Alberta (3.114 million, compared to 2.85 million last year), according to Statistics Canada.
Saskatchewan seeded area for barley is 2.692 million acres this year, compared to 2.325 million a year ago, StatsCan said. Manitoba producers seeded 330,000 acres of barley this year compared to 265,000 a year ago.
"I'm going to be quite bullish on it and expect we'll see strong values for barley" in the year ahead, Nielsen said.

Introduction: Approach and Avoid
Author: Luc Herman (University of Antwerp)
On December 14, 1944, twelve hundred people were watching a matinee performance of Buffalo Bill (starring William Wellman and Maureen O'Hara) in the Rex movie theatre in Antwerp, when a V-2 came down and killed 567 of them. This historical event inspired Thomas Pynchon to write the final episode of Gravity's Rainbow, except of course that he seems to keep what has by that time changed into the Bomb forever suspended instead of letting it come down on the Orpheus theatre in L.A. Interestingly, the proper noun "Rex" appears on page 546 of the novel in connection with Antwerp, not as the name of the movie theatre–which was in fact derived from a Parisian model–but rather as that of the Belgian Fascist party led by Leon Degrelle. Toward the end of the Antwerp paragraph on 546, Katje says that her little brother, Louis, had joined Rex, which she describes with a quotation as "the realm of total souls." The signifier "Rex" brims with hermeneutic possibilities: one could develop the link in GR between movies and Fascism, and thus see the Antwerp paragraph as a slightly veiled confirmation of Siegfried Kracauer's fundamental importance for the novel; or one could interpret the absence of the signifier's cinematic meaning from the Antwerp paragraph as the foreboding–for those who know Antwerp, and to be activated at the beginning of the final episode–of a potential apocalypse.

Liz Covart, one of the core group who helped get History Camp going, wrote the brief for the walk and will lead one of the groups. I understand that Liz's group may already be filled, or close. If that's the case, and if you'd like to see if we can end up in one group, add "History Camp" in the notes when you buy your ticket and I'll ask Samantha, Executive Director of Boston By Foot, if she can put us together in one group. The cost of the tour is $17 (or $5 for members).


Why Do Christians Do Good Works?
Why do we do good works after we are saved? There is a correct answer to this question, and there is an answer that is unequivocally incorrect. It is important for us to know the incorrect answer, so that we can avoid falling into a dangerous heresy.
Let's consider the correct answer. God created us to reflect and magnify His own glory (Isaiah 43:7 and 21; Ephesians 1:12). All of our good works – e.g., acts of praise, worship, obedience, generosity, compassion, mercy, sharing the Gospel of Christ, making disciples – have one thing in common: they all ultimately reflect and magnify God's glory. The Bible says that God has prepared – in advance – work for each one of us to do, and that, in doing these things, we are fulfilling the purpose for which God created us (Ephesians 2:10).
But, it is all too easy for us to fall into the mindset that, in doing good works, we are repaying Jesus for what he did for us. After all, shouldn't our gratitude for Jesus saving us motivate us to do good works in response? That seems logical, doesn't it? But, that cannot be the reason we do good works, and here's why: we are saved by grace… it is a gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). And, if it is a gift of God, then there is nothing for us to repay; gifts are free. In the same way that we cannot do good works to earn salvation (Ephesians 2:9; 2 Timothy 1:9), so also we cannot do good works to repay Jesus for the gift of salvation after we receive it; both would be a form of the "salvation by works" heresy. When Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins, our debt was canceled, not mortgaged! No, we do good works because that is what God saved us to do: the work that he prepared in advance for us (Ephesians 2:10).
If there is a debt, it is only a debt of gratitude, not of good works.

Dear Nora is the continuing project of West Coast-based musician Katy Davidson. In the last decade, she quietly released three albums and a handful of singles, the music of which often ranged from lo-fi folk to acoustic instrumental music.Their second album, Mountain Rock was released in 2004 and was something of an experimental piece; it featured seventeen tracks, often ranging from brief instrumental interludes between equally brief moments of super-short abstract lyrical moments, resulting in a record that didn't make much sense individually but sounded amazing put together and listened to as a whole. Mountain Rock has been repressed for vinyl and is available via Orindal Records.


Mark and Liane Kelly have a perfect marriage, so good that they extend it to their working lives. Operating Grand Viera Homes, the couple are building a strong reputation at the high end of the market. Their company has just finished building a pair of homes, side-by-side, in Ardross.
The partnership dovetails like a good piece of carpentry. Mrs Kelly does most of the design work and loves to visualise what the end result will be and then sends her design to their draftsman.
Grand Viera Homes builds about six private dwellings a year and at the moment does not have a display home. "We had one at Wembley Downs but it sold — and it led to other contracts for us as well," Mr Kelly said.
The couple believe that life is for living and much of their building philosophy is in ensuring their homes are living-friendly. Mrs Kelly encourages her customers to choose easy-clean surfaces, whether on the floor or benchtops. She also encourages a home in which all space is used, as in the couple's own home in Marmion. There, all the living areas converge on the main area, which leads to the outside.
They love it even through the recent rougher times. The company has managed to get by relatively unscathed and the pair are proud of the fact that they still have their favourite tradesmen making the same money as in the boom days. "We want to look after them — they have looked after us," Mr Kelly said.
The Kellys have a commercial arm to their business. Orixon does business all over the State. The motto is "Facilities. Venues.
Mining" and construction and maintenance are its backbone.
As for Grand Viera Homes, the couple plan to move onwards and upwards, but on a very personal level.

Colorado Senate Democrats elect new party leadership after re-taking chamber
Dems now hold 19-16 majority in Senate
By: Blair Miller
DENVER – After re-taking control of the Colorado state Senate in Tuesday's midterm election, Democrats on Thursday elected new majority party leadership while Republicans named their new minority-party leaders.
Sen. Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, was chosen to be the next Senate President. He is currently the Senate Minority Leader and will take over for Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, who is term-limited and whose party is now the minority party in the Senate.
Garcia took over as minority leader earlier this year after Sen. Lucia Guzman stepped down from the position over her frustration with Republicans' handling of workplace harassment allegations.
"Our state faces some tough challenges, but I am confident that our caucus, under these dynamic leaders, will represent every Coloradan and find solutions to those challenges that will move every community across Colorado forward," Garcia said in a statement.
Senate Democrats picked up two seats in the election, putting them at a 19-16 majority. Republicans had held the Senate with an 18-17 majority the past two years. Democrats now control both chambers of the General Assembly as well as the governor's office after Jared Polis' victory.
Sen. Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, was named Senate Majority Leader. Faith Winter, the senator-elect from Westminster, was named caucus chair after defeating Beth Martinez Humenik in Senate District 24. Sen. Lois Court, D-Arapahoe Co., will serve as president pro-tem of the Senate.
Sen. Kerry Donovan will be majority whip and Sen. Rhonda Fields will be assistant majority leader. Sens. Dominick Moreno and Rachel Zenzinger were elected to the Joint Budget Committee.
Republicans elected Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Douglas Co., to serve as Senate Minority Leader. He previously served as majority leader. Current Senate President Pro-Tem Jerry Sonnenberg did not receive a leadership position.
Sen. John Cooke, R-Greeley, will serve as assistant minority leader; Sen. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, was elected as minority whip and Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, will remain the GOP caucus chair in the Senate.
In the House, KC Becker was named the new House Speaker. She will replace Crisanta Duran, who is term-limited. Rep. Alec Garnett will take over as House Majority Leader; he was Assistant House Majority Leader last year. Rep. Chris Kennedy will serve as Assistant House Majority Leader for next year's session.


One of my annual holiday traditions is to bake up several batches of decorated sugar cookies. And not just any old cookie – Martha Stewart's sugar cookies. Several years ago, I purchased a cookie baking kit from the website. It included a recipe book, sanding sugars, icing bags and perhaps also some coloring. I also purchased four large tree shaped copper cookie cutters from her site as well. Since then, I've amassed quite a large collection of cookie cutters – tiny 1″ guys to 4″ wide houses and reindeer. I've found that the large sizes get the oohs and ahhs, but the smaller one's actually get eaten. Since these cookies take so long to make – from dough to royal icing decorated cookie – I usually give most of them away as gifts. The recipe is very easy to make (as long as you have a stand mixer) and the cookies are tasty! Here's a link to the cookie recipe. The recipe I follow, which came with the cookie kit, is double the measurements of the online recipe. And mine doesn't call for milk or brandy.
My well worn and stained recipe booklet. I tried the chocolate recipe once,but it was not as good as the sugar cookies.
One of the most popular shapes I make are these little hearts, which are maybe 1-1/2″ wide.
These house ornaments are about 4″ wide and I usually give them to business contacts as a ta-da moment – few people at parties ever want to tackle a cookie this big. Wondering if it's bad to shove my camera in the oven…?
This year I added gingerbread reindeers to the mix. I'll confess it, this was a package mix. Trader Joe's has a gingerbread spice cake and baking mix and they have directions for cookie dough. It worked really well, rolled out nicely and is quite tasty, although very peppery.
The trick to these sugar cookies is the use of royal icing. Here's a link to Martha's recipe. Royal icing is basically confectioners sugar and egg whites. I use meringue powder instead of fresh egg whites and usually do 1 cup sugar to 1 tablespoon meringue powder. Plus add water as needed to achieve the right runny but not too runny consistency. I like it when the icing runs easily off the beater and pools, then flattens out.
Ah, three double batches later..
I am no Martha Stewart when it comes to really fanciful artwork on my cookies. But I do like to come up with a variety of looks every year.
My favorite new thing this season is this silvered sugar. Sparkly!
I'm loving the purple! I've been using Wilton gel colorants to tint the icing.
These are double hearts which I bake together. Note the slightly marbled effect that I was going for with the pink and purple icing.
And my favorite silver sparkle stars. Just ignore the single yellow non-pareil that decided to play hitchhiker.
As I said, I often give big and small bags of cookies as gifts. These are the gift packages I made up for my flute students. Each gets one medium or two small cookies, some Hershey's kisses and a small candy cane. Just a little thing. Other bags are much larger and hold 8-10 cookies.
what a marvel you are!!
Thanks for all the info and sharing..
You did such a beautiful job. I love that frosting recipe, have used it many times myself. I like the way it dries on the cookie! Great gifts for your students and friends.
What delicious cookies! And that silvered sugar is gorgeous. I always mess up with big cookies, so I'd definitely be oohing and ahhing along with everyone else over them :-).
You totally sold me when you mentioned Trader joes ginger cake mix. I have the same reindeer cookie cutters and it's about time to put them to use! Love the Angels with the sparkly sugar. Where can I get that?
I adore the angels, too beautiful to eat!!
Your cookies are beautiful. Thank you for the recipes. I think we will try these tomorrow. My little girl and I have been trying to bake cookies for days and somehow it just keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list. Tomorrow is the day thanks to your inspiring post.
Such beautiful cookies, Linda! Christmas has sneaked up on me this year so I doubt I will have time for cookie-baking. Yours look even prettier than the ones I've seen in Martha's magazine. Have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks everyone! Oh, and I'd forgotten to say that the silvered sugar comes from Wilton, and I got it at Michael's arts & crafts in their bakery (cakes, cookies and candy!) aisle. They have all the colorants and sugars, etc. Although, nothing has beaten the original sanding sugars that came with Martha's kit.
It all looks so great Linda,I love the shapes & glitz …….
I am experimenting with some 4 legged treats this week for those doggies in our lives!
These are obviously for people that have nothing to do but bake cookies and decorate them. They are gorgeous!!!! try doing it wih a family of 5! Yikes!!!
Wow, I am impressed big time, I have not had time to make anything this year…not a thing.
omg!!!! do you have any left? those are so gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I am tempted to make some today!!!!!!!
Very unique and pretty cookies. Merry Christmas early!

The only catch here is that you need to ensure that when you plan your island kitchen, you keep in mind the present area that you have.

It's especially appreciated when correlated with modern interior design. That's because of the simplicity of this style. Scandinavian interiors are famous for their brightness and minimalism. The main color used in these spaces is white. Even though it's a neutral and perceived as being a cold shade by many people, white is also a very bright color and a perfect shade to be used as a background for beautiful decorations and accessories.

A clear glass backsplash allows the wall behind it to be seen while ensuing a smooth surface which can be easily cleaned. One of the advantages is that you can have a colored backsplash by painting that section of the wall and covering it with glass. Another option is to have an accent wall in the kitchen and frame portions of it in key areas, the backsplash being one of them. A glass backsplash can actually cover the whole area if there're no cabinet mounted on it.

Who is All About Spas?
There are a number of different ways to test your hot tub water. By using a liquid test kit, a digital tester, or by using test strips. We are going to show you how to use test strips.
First, look at the bottle of test strips and find an expiration date. Make sure your strips are not expired to get an accurate measurement. The date will be printed on either the side or bottom of the bottle.
Next, make sure to turn off all of the jets and pumps.
Take a test strip, dip it into the water for a second, and pull it out. Lastly, hold the test strip level for 15 seconds, and then compare the colors on the strip to the color chart on the bottle.
If the colors are not in the ideal ranges, adjust your water, always starting by balancing the pH first. Then move on to the sanitizer (bromine/chlorine) and calcium hardness levels.

« {Xarriviewz II} DIMESLAND: Guitar duels of 'Psychogenic Atrophy'
ORNETTE COLEMAN {Re}:Shape the Millenium w/ Harmolodix! »
XV {Xarrier Vorticite}: What up led to the formation of Dimesland? {NC/ Nolan Cook, DC/ Drew Cook}
NC: Dimesland as we know it today is the result of a rather serpentine road that began when Drew and I were in our early 20s and just starting to write material together. At the time I was playing in heavy rock bands in Richmond, Virginia and Drew had been playing around a bit and we started meeting up and putting together these weird little dual-guitar compositions. Before we knew it we had 10 of 12 of them, eccentric things they were, as well as a mini-opera by the name of Noco Puente. We had also settled on a name for our project: Land of Thin Dimes. Just before we moved to California we entered the studio to make a record of our efforts. We enlisted a drummer and we had an engineer; everything else was done by us. That record was never released but we did send it to Guitar Player magazine and they wound up putting us in their feature called 'Spotlight'. Similarly there was a blurb about it in the SF Weekly written by Neva Chovin.Once we were both living in San Francisco (after a seven-month stop by me in Hollywood to attend the Harmony and Theory program at Musicians Institute, a vocational music school) we gathered some friends and went about arranging the LoTD material for full rock band.
So what we then had was this kooky, idiosyncratic music being played with big amps and drums. We did some club shows and even backed up some experimental theatre performances. Eventually we went back into the studio, again on our own dime (sorry), and recorded our debut, self-titled release which was put out by Toadophile Records. Of course it was recorded fast and cheap. We also made a music video for the tune, A Dynasty That Never Was, directed by Tom Byrne. Shortly thereafter our lineup dissipated (a common theme with us) for various reasons that amounted to a lack of commitment and we started over with mostly new folks, recording a third album that ventured back toward a heavy progressive sound and that, alas, was again not released. And this lineup too fell apart. Oh the frustration. Somewhere in the middle of all of that I was hired by The Residents to play guitar in their three-night stand of Halloween shows at The Fillmore and subsequently do a U.S. and European tour to back up their album of time: Wormwood: Curious Stories From The Bible. When that final incarnation of LoTD split up I continued on with The Residents (or more appropriately, The Cryptic Corporation), and Drew did a stint in Los Angeles.
Throughout all of the above we were heavy into making recordings at home, first on Yamaha cassette 4-track machines and later various Roland digital recorders, and while apart from each other we started constructing new material, itching to get back to our first love, heavy rock and metal, with a twist of experimentation. Once we were rejoined, this time in Oakland, we found a more metal rhythm section, wrote a sets-worth of material, and did exactly three shows under the name Dimes, before that lineup disintegrated, this time due to drug abuse and paranoia. But did we give up at that point? Hell no, chief! We were more determined than ever to find exactly the right players and write exactly the right heavy, strange material and make an excellent recording of that material. And after a name change (to the current, Dimesland), and an EP entitled Creepmoon, for which we recruited a couple of ringers, we did just that. Drummer/audio manipulator Harland Burkhart and bassist/vocalist Greg Brace are the players we had always hoped to find and their talent freed us up to write whatever we wanted to in a challenging yet abstract metal style. Earlier this year we completed our first full-length recording, Psychogenic Atrophy.
XV: What was your band's manifest in terms of having predetermined goals of what genre within metal you were (or were not) going to set up camp in, and conversely what styles of music outside of metal were decided to be integral to the Dimesland sound?
NC: We have never really pre-planned our sound, at least not in any detail. All of our influences, regardless of genre, have always informed our writing. Aside from various metal and rock sub-genres we have long appreciated the strangeness in anything, the extra something that pushes an artist or band outside of the norm. We were also influenced by certain new wave, punk, post-punk, hardcore, R&B/Soul, psychedelic, pop, classical, and experimental music. And more, probably.
XV: Where and who have you shared bills with? Is your local scene of bands and the fans at shows in town receptive to a edgy/avant garde type of metal? Do people out of town seem amazed or shocked or are your audiences very metalhead who can both understand your influences and how Dimesland has chosen to warp them into something original?
NC: We have been on shows with bands like Dysrhythmia, Melt Banana, Hammers of Misfortune, Gigan, Lord Dying, Giant Squid, Burmese, Hull, Plague Phalanx, Retox, Nasalrod, Apocryphon, Catacomb Creeps, and so on. We seem to get booked onto either strictly metal bills or slightly more eclectic ones. And then on occasion we get on shows with acts that are not really metal at all but are still heavy and/or offbeat. To a large extent, beyond people who we actually know, I cannot begin to pretend that I have insight into what the people who see or hear us might think or feel about what we do.
XV: Would you say that the journey from Creepmoon (released on Vendlus Records) to Psychogenic Atrophy (self released) is now it's own tree growing independent of the forest of other metal bands, or were the previous bands you were in and saw perform crucial to where the Dimesland sound has arrived? Is it possible to reinvent and evolve on every release, or do you aim to define a territory of the Dimesland approach the way that certain major classic hard rock or metal bands did? Think Ramones, AC/DC, Motorhead not in style but just how they did one thing very well. Or like Voivod or Celtic Frost will Dimesland continue to take risks?
NC: I think that we are an interesting tree in that overgrown forest. And anything that one may experience artistically will in one way or another bring them to where they are at present, be it art, film, literature or what have you. It is absolutely possible to evolve with every release; I view that as a vital element in any pursuit. We do like to take chances and try things that we have not done before; there is an experimental zeal that definitely motivates us. It should be noted, however, that while all of this analysis is one thing, when it comes down to it we are writing from the inside, and our tendencies just seem to naturally be a bit off the beaten path.
XV: As you both grew up learning the guitar at what point did the eureka lightbulb moment of "Metal is where all the action is on guitar!" and start learning how to palm mute, arpeggio at speed and get into some upper fretboard-type solos? For the interviewer, as already remembered in a conversation with Nolan earlier, my Burning Bush on guitar was simply making the center section of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath sound tight. By projecting the coveted 'heaviness' by controlling the response of the strings. . .never did learn the jazzy chords in the quiet sections of the song, but it did awaken me that heaviness is a direct function of contrast with the less dense section in a tune. Any thoughts here?
DC: There wasn't really a "eureka!" moment per se. I think a lot of the more metal guitar elements just morphed their way into our playing styles early on. Like you said, it was the kind of thing where you're a kid playing along with The Who or Black Sabbath through a loud amp and the power and excitement is there and you want to take things a little further guitar-wise (only we would most likely learn the jazzy chords as well!). We would just seek out bands and guitarists of all sorts and check out their take on things.
XV: Having learned a bunch of primal early Frost riffs first {before the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath revelation} it seemed sometimes the noisier the better! That spectrum also helped, insofar as technique itself is great to learn so you can turn it on or off to create more raw or more focused riffs.
DC: I guess we do some noisier sections sometimes when that type of part is needed in a song. It's usually within a rhythmic parameter, but the guitars are off in a random netherworld and will sound different each time that part is played. As structured as we are as writers, we try to have sections here and there where we really don't know what we're going to play each time- it's fun!
XV: Is DIMESLAND truly metal for people who aren't servants to metal?!?
DC: I don't know the answer to that, and I'm late for my Telekinesis lesson.
XV: Let's describe which amps, guitars and other instruments helped navigate your metal journey, to our understanding Nolan's main axe is a Jackson Soloist {?} and Drew's some sort of Carvin 'superstrat'?
DC: The Carvin is a Frankenstein guitar I've had forever and I love it. I've also been playing a Charvel Desolation for quite a while that I really like. I use Mesa amps and cabinets and a few choice pedals. This is the basic stuff that has been with me a long time and will probably remain.
NC: Dimesland uses guitars and drums 'cuz they want the best. (Thanks, Melvins).
XV: Drew, how did you go from the proverbial garage jamming guitarist to a regional touring player? Did your move west step up your game or were you already woodshedding back in VA? Are you a believer in the two-guitar sound as the metal format, considering both your bands Wild Hunt and Dimesland feature that? Is the point interwoven riffology or having somebody cover the riffs while the other plays leads?
DC: Back in RVA I was basically woodshedding and playing impromptu with various musicians there. I had a 4-track machine and lived for a while in a house where I had the whole upstairs floor. I had a drum kit up there and could make a lot of noise. I would make cassettes where I would play all the instruments and do everything myself and I would give them to friends. I guess when I moved to San Francisco in 1994 I was lucky to be immersed in a really vast underground metal scene, I was in the right place at the right time, and knew we could form a great band. Now I've been living in Oakland for a long time, and this is the home base for Dimesland and Wild Hunt. Oakland has a great and diverse underground metal/punk community. Answering the last question, I love bands that have one guitarist or two guitarists, it's all about if it works- and I definitely like it if a band has two or three autoharp players.
XV: Nolan, How did moving west and joining the Residents cause you step up your game on the instrument? How coincidental was it you already had worked out a large portion of Snakefinger's work (both with the Residents and solo) when you auditioned for the gig?
NC: It has never been the case that a particular band or entity I am involved with has directly caused me to step up my game, in terms of technique, on guitar. I've just always been in hot pursuit of improvement and expansion. However, from a creative standpoint the whole Residents/Cryptic Corporation odyssey has allowed me to indulge my imagination to a very satisfying degree and in ways that are outside of the realm of heavy rock and metal. As for Snakefinger, he was one of the people who demonstrated to me the value of personality in an instrumentalist. I was very drawn to his eccentric, madcap style, and his collaborations with Rez/Cryptic produced some fantastic material that I absolutely devoured when I first discovered it.
XV: Where is Dimesland now in terms of its lifespan & evolution? Where do the Brothers Cook intend to take the sound next? Although Psychogenic Atrophy is done, is the second one already written? Are demos starting or do you guys record straight to tape/hardrive only when cutting the final masters? Who engineers the recordings? Would you let a competent outside producer with sucess in having recorded tons of metal bands direct the sound to any degree, or maybe a off the wall choice like a non-metal specialist producer?
DC: We are always writing. There is definitely more extreme music we need to put out in the near future, but who knows- we've discussed maybe making a fervid ambient record at some point. As far as production goes, we've usually co-produced as a band with the engineer that we are working with. There is definitely something to be said about working with an engineer who knows how to record metal, but the main thing for us is to work with someone that is into the material and wants to make it sound really good, and in a great environment. A good sense of humor helps too…

Raul Hernández is a huge fan of traditional Guadalajara cuisine and a blogger turned gastronomic guide.
Hernández explains that he realizes most adventurous foreigners, with a standard guidebook and a little Spanish, can fare pretty well eating and drinking at places such as the cantinas on Chapultepec or even the vast San Juan de Dios market. But his tours generally venture beyond that, he says, and include less-known neighborhoods and varieties of food, and even almost-hidden cantinas that are more than 100 years old.

The fact is that we spend a large part of our lives surrounded by architecture.
Cities are condensed spaces where we live and work. Our perspective is in part constructed along the avenues we walk or drive through and in the spaces within which our social interactions occur.
I am influenced by the ideology, evident in the teachings of schools such as Shantiniketan and Baroda, that stresses the importance of the construction of motifs that bear relevance to our immediate landscape. A motif implies the desire to communicate a social condition. The compositions created across this body of work were ignited by observations of progress and contemporaneity I witnessed in travels near and far.
The work titled Nokia Tower, Vilnius, was born from a visit to this East European city a few years ago. Originally Soviet territory, Lithuania is now an independent Baltic state. It was one of the fastest growing economies in East Europe in the period before the economic collapse of 2008. Furious growth had ushered in change, albeit perilously quickly. This momentum collapsed post 2008. Across the river from the quaint central part of the city I came across a newborn economic zone, a cluster of skyscrapers, mirror clad, reflecting the clouded sky. This was Snipskes and the skyscrapers were now largely uninhabited, emptied by the crisis. The building that I photographed and came to use was the Nokia Tower, the headquarters of a telecommunications company we are all familiar with, a sign of a globalized world.
Optus Adelaide was based upon a towering building seamlessly wrapped in black glass that became my beacon as I walked across Adelaide in 2010. Optus is an Australian telecommunication company and its name throws up the word optical - optical cables for internet and phone-lines and of course, optical as in optics and related to vision.
General Post Office Srinagar is a study based upon the post headquarters in Srinagar situated on the banks of the river Jhelum. This Government building, a new construction, stands out from the old and traditional constructions along the "bund". The post-office is, within the country, an important institution. Its signature red and white post offices are ubiquitous across its varied land. In a country with a population of a Billion people, many of which live in rural areas that are not easily accessible, the network of post-offices across the country represent a means of communication.
The images of the buildings were turned to drawings and then collaged. A reduced pallete was mobilized in painting them. The compositions in blue point to architectural blue-prints. The compositions appear sculptural even though the planes have been deliberately flattened. In lineage they are modernist, linking various registers of figuration in a search for form. The works of the Progressive Group is an important inspiration in the process of their making.

Are you a Potterhead looking for more great fantasy series? Here's a list of audiobooks like Harry Potter you are sure to love.
The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling have been a source of comfort for generations since the first book was published in 1997. It's a story anyone can connect with, whether on paper, on the movie screen, or in an immersive audiobook format.
While U.S. audiences grew up listening to Jim Dale's narration of this magical story, the U.K. version is retold by Stephen Fry. Both narrators are celebrated, and fans can rarely decide which version they love more.
Once you finish the last volume of the series, you'll be hooked on audiobooks that effortlessly transport you to a different world on unlikely adventures. Read on to learn about five audiobook series you can pick up after the Harry Potter books.
Why do people love Harry Potter?
Readers of all ages enjoy the Harry Potter books, and it's no wonder. The dramatic plot keeps us on the edge of our seats with universal themes like love, friendship, and family, but also dark and serious topics like death.
The books also showcase a wide range of characters we can relate to and love. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone sets the scene for a lifelong friendship between best friends Harry, Ron, and Hermione, which continues to develop through unforgettable adventures across The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, and the rest of the seven-book series as the trio face off against Voldemort, the villain of the series.
The franchise also continues to reap great success through recent spinoffs like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which give more background to some of the characters we know from the world of Harry Potter.
Great audiobooks for people who love Harry Potter
Despite their magical elements, the Harry Potter books bring a sense of reality, which is the recipe for a successful fantasy novel. Although there's no other place like Hogwarts, you can experience the novelty of a different universe again through other magical books and stories inspired by fairy tales.
His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman
The His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman follows the coming of age of two ordinary children. Across the books The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass, Lyra and Will journey through parallel universes in a fate-defining adventure. But this story is about much more than just magic and witches and armored polar bears. His Dark Materials tackles complex themes like science, religion, and "freedom through knowledge."
The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
Gods and mythological creatures are always fascinating to read about but placing them into a modern setting puts an original twist on this classic topic. This is what the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan is all about. This action-packed young adult series follows the adventures of Percy Jackson, a half-human/half-Greek god. The 12-year-old boy sets off on an adventure across the U.S. with two of his equally extraordinary friends to retrieve a stolen weapon. But the journey is long and perilous and continues across four more books.
The Magicians by Lev Grossman
Who doesn't dream about the fantasy worlds of our favorite books becoming real? The hero of Lev Grossman's The Magicians, Quentin Coldwater, finds himself in this situation in this dark coming-of-age story. In The Magicians, the wizarding world blends with upstate New York to create an urban fantasy that's not as bright and innocent as one would expect. A slightly older audience will enjoy this story about personal growth and universal adolescent experiences.
The A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin
After the massive success of the TV show Game of Thrones, few will argue that George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series is a must-read, not only for fantasy fans but any adult ready to get lost in an incredibly complex and multi-layered story. A Song of Ice and Fire takes the reader into a cruel world ruled by power struggles, where we follow history unfolding from the point of view of multiple interesting characters.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere might not be a children's book, but younger and older readers love it all over the world. Set in London, this novel illustrates a dark world of magic where mysterious forces lie beneath the streets. The book blends genres of urban fantasy, science fiction, adventure, and even horror through themes like betrayal and self-sacrifice. It's an excellent example of why Neil Gaiman is a New York Times bestselling author.

This guide includes a lean of easy-to-follow recipes that you can use, as well as a purchasing list of ingredients to make your meal planning easier than ever!
Nothing better than a guy effort caught with a fault in class. For some reason, I get rattling horned in education too and have been tempted some times do the one and the same thing he does in this one. And that is, give myself a good cam stroke through my underpants in hopes that no one is in secret memory device it and it ends up online lol. Btw, if you've followed the diary for a while, you know what happens once I get horny on campus…remember this video.

Pricing your home is both an art and a science. Achieving the optimal price is the result of both objective research into comparable properties and a gut feeling about your property and the current market.
The simple fact is, price is the number one factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view. And it's important to remember that, although the price is set by you, the value of the home is determined by the buyer. Try to avoid allowing your enthusiasm to impact your better judgment - overpricing is a common mistake that can cost you in the end.
What really matters is how your home stacks up against the others currently offered for sale and recently sold in your neighborhood. Buyers will be comparing.
Most of the activity on your home will occur in the first few weeks. Pricing a home properly and then creating immediate urgency in the minds of agents and buyers is critical.
Buyers who have seen most available homes in their price range are waiting for the "right house" to come on the market. That's why if a house is priced right, it will sell quickly. The buyers are there waiting for it.
Don't start with a high price and the assumption that you can reduce it later. By the time you decide to lower the price, it may be too late, as interest will have alreadywaned.
A major cause for concern is appraisal problems; overpricing can lead to loan rejections and lost time.
Even if your home is nicer than other homes in the same area, your house won't be picked for viewing if you set the price too high.
Buyers and agents become aware of the long exposure period and often are hesitant to make an offer because they fear something is wrong with the property.
Fewer potentially qualified buyers will respond.
You might help sell similar homes that are priced low.
You could lose money as a result of making extra mortgage payments while incurring taxes, insurance and unplanned maintenance costs.
Provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA), a comparison of the prices of recently sold homes that are similar in terms of location, style, and amenities. A CMAis performed by comparing previously sold homes in the area, and currently active homes to know your competition.
We don't tell you what we think your home is "worth".
The market determines value…together we determine the price.
Keep in touch with market trends and keep up to date with market activity of comparable homes.
Help to determine offering incentives.
An agent has NO control over the market, only the marketing plan. Never select an agent based on price.

Will FE allow your use of the C word in your title?
It's a pity that Oz The Great and Powerful isn't also being released in time for Crimbo as the original is always considered to be a Christmas holiday film.

"Will FE allow your use of the C word in your title?"
He will now, the start date is 25th November.
I didn't realise that FE, but the right hand side has the recent trailers withem on there.
Have I invented a new word by combining with and them together?
The FE might have to modify his Xmas mention day to take into account the change in public opinion.

Obituary: Frances Shand Kydd
03 June 2004 • 16:32 pm
Frances Shand Kydd, the mother of Diana, Princess of Wales, cut an intriguing figure.
Living alone on a remote Scottish island, the reclusive grandmother to Princes William and Harry faced tragedy and difficulty throughout her life.
She endured the death of two of her children - famously, Diana in a car crash in Paris and baby son who died hours after he was born.
Just a few weeks ago, her stepson Adam Shand Kydd, who was 49, died of an apparent overdose in Cambodia.
The woman who, after Diana's marriage to the Prince of Wales looked set to be the mother of Britain's next Queen, was also twice divorced - first leaving her husband for a married man and then being deserted herself.
She was dubbed an unfit mother, lost custody of her children and was convicted of drink-driving.
Her relationship with Diana was notoriously tumultuous and in the months leading up to the Princess's death, the pair were tragically not on speaking terms.
Biographer Max Riddington described her as a "certainly complicated" woman, but also "funny, warm, intelligent" and "energetic".
Frances Ruth Burke Roche, daughter of the Fourth Baron Fermoy, was born on the day George V died. Her mother Lady Ruth Fermoy was a confidante and lady in waiting to the Queen Mother.
Her father Maurice was, as a close friend of George VI, also a member of the royals' inner circle, as well as being the Conservative MP for King's Lynn.
She married heir to the Althorp Estate Edward John "Johnnie" Spencer in 1954.
A first baby, Sarah, arrived nine months later, followed by a second daughter Jane in 1957. A son John was born in 1960 but died hours later. The birth of a healthy baby Diana in July 1961 was marked with relief.
Three years later with her marriage under strain at her apparent inability to produce a healthy son, Shand Kydd did her duty and gave birth to a boy - Charles.
In 1967, the marriage ended spectacularly when Shand Kydd sent high society into a spin after scandalously falling in love with the married wallpaper heir Peter Shand Kydd.
She left her husband, divorcing in 1969, and swiftly wed her "so much more exciting" tycoon lover, the father of Adam Shand Kydd.
Initially, Charles and Diana lived with their mother in London, while the two other children were away at school.
But after two unsuccessful courtroom contests, the children returned to their father, then Viscount Althorp, while the defeated Shand Kydds moved to Scotland.
In 1981 after Diana's marriage to Prince Charles, Shand Kydd spent her time running a gift shop on Seil.
She was left heart-broken in 1988 when Peter Shand Kydd left her after nearly 20 years for a younger woman.
Following their divorce, she closed her gift shop and was said to have begun to drink, although friends have insisted she was not an alcoholic.
She faced public shame in 1996 when she was convicted of drink driving and was banned from the roads for a year.
Her own divorce was followed by the breakdown of Diana's marriage to the Prince of Wales.
In the years after, Shand Kydd gave a rare interview to Hello! magazine in May 1997. But her discussion of Diana's divorce, relationship and bulimia incensed the Princess.
Shand Kydd had declared it was "absolutely wonderful" that Diana had been stripped of her HRH title - something the Princess found deeply humiliating.
Mother and daughter never spoke again, with Diana dying four months later in August 1997.
After Diana's death, Shand Kydd returned to her protected life alone on Seil.
In 2002, with her health failing, she was once again thrust into the spotlight at the age of 66 when she was called to give evidence in the messy trial of Diana's ex-butler Paul Burrell who was accused of stealing more than 300 of the Princess's possessions.
Frail in appearance, Shand Kydd was by now suffering from what was once described by her biographer Max Riddington as a "progressive disease which affects her muscles".
Rumours previously suggested her speech was slurred due to drunkenness.
In December 2002, she had a lucky escape when she crashed her car into a bridge in Oban.
Shand Kydd's health continued to deteriorate with reports suggesting that she was suffering from an incurable and advanced brain disease.

Debunking the Myths Around Varicose Veins
Even though we're living in the information age, and everybody has a smartphone that can access all the scientific wisdom in the world, there's still a lot of misinformation about varicose veins. Here at Vein Care, we are experts on treating varicose veins. That's why we've put together this list of corrective information, debunking the most frequently uttered myths about spider veins and varicose veins.
Varicose Veins Are Only A Cosmetic Concern
People who don't suffer the ill effects of varicose veins are often under the impression that they're only an aesthetic unpleasantness. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Untreated varicose veins, when left untreated, can be the cause of serious health problems. Chronic pain, itching, swelling, blood clots and eczema prone to bleeding and infections are just a few of the unpleasant phenomena that can eventuate.
You Can Always Detect Varicose Veins Because They Bulge Out
Of course, for some people, varicose veins do bulge out. In those cases, it's very easy to detect that there's a problem. However, it is simply not true to say that all varicose veins visibly bulge out of the skin. In fact, they can exist without being plainly visible to the eye at all. If you're suffering from fatigue and cramping and can't figure out why, you might actually be afflicted by varicose veins that you can't see.
The Only Way of Treating Varicose Veins Is with Painful Surgery
While it is true that you can still treat varicose veins with surgery, for many people it is nothing but a painful, risky, and unnecessary ordeal. However, over the last twenty years, our team at Vein Care has seen some incredible advances in non-intrusive vein treatment. Contemporary treatment techniques are simple, fast, require no sedation or stiches, and allow for immediate return to normal daily activities. Have a look at options like vein glue, sclerotherapy, or EVLT.
There's No Simple Way to Diagnose Varicose Veins
This is absolutely not true. With the latest breakthroughs in technology, it has never been easier to diagnose varicose veins. With ultrasound diagnostic tools, our team at Vein Care can determine whether or not you're a good candidate for treatment. Not only that, but we can use our diagnostic skills to determine the best course of action. From there, we can start you on the road to recovery in no time at all with vein solutions.
Vein Treatment – Melbourne
At our vein clinic Vein Care, our team has been helping people toward a life with healthier veins for nearly twenty years. On your first visit, we'll put together a detailed history, run a clinical examination and asses you with an ultrasound duplex scan. From there, we can discuss the best possible treatment for your vein problems. Contact us online, or call today on 1300 730 100.

Shaun Boothe raps biographies
Across the pond in the Krinovitz Recital Hall located in Hawkins Hall at Plattsburgh State, the sound of the bass bumps through the speakers.
In front of a small intimate audience, Shaun Boothe, recording artist and creator of the Unauthorized Biography Series, performed three of his biography raps and spoke to students about life and discovering your own path to your destiny.
But how did he get to PSUC?
Tobi Hay, interim director at the PSUC Career Center, looked through the talent agency that was home to the speaker from the fall. While doing her research through this agency, she came across Boothe.
"I booked him because I thought he would be inspiring at a time during the semester when students, particularly juniors and seniors, are feeling pressure to figure out their career plans," Hay said.
Boothe made it clear throughout his speeches between each biography he performed that not everyone has a set path to greatness.
When he spoke about, Muhammad Ali, Oprah and Malala Yousafzai, he pointed out how they all faced their own obstacles in order to fulfill what they were meant to fulfill.
Hay said that Boothe made his performance "personal" by simply explaining his own career journey as well as relating those people he spoke about relevant to the audience that was before him.
She also recalls a story he told during the performance about his biography on Muhammad Ali.
After Boothe released his biography on him, Ali's daughter reached out and told him it was very well done and that he should pursue more of that type of work as it clearly has an impact.
"He reminded me that words of encouragement to people who are pursuing something they are good at can have tremendous impact," Hay said.
For junior bio-medical sciences and nutrition major and sister of Alpha Epsilon Phi, Amelia Bartalino, Boothe's performance had a lasting impact on her.
"I learned that it's what's behind the scenes of a successful person that really makes them successful," Bartalino said, "not just the money."
Bartalino said that she not only learned about hardwork and dedication towards your passion but also, information about the leaders Boothe described in his biographies, internal motivational skills and to not allow excuses to be a barrier to what you want to achieve, something Boothe stressed quite a lot in his performance.
"As students, we get so overwhelmed with school it is hard to see the potential that our hard work will have in the future," Bartalino said.
As mentioned above, Bartalino stresses how personal he made the performance.
She enjoyed how passionate and energetic he was about each topic and how he didn't just scratch the surface with the bigraphy aspect.
"[he] talked about their hard work to get to the top as opposed to what the public sees," Bartalino said.
After the show, Boothe announced he was staying after to answer questions or just to chat to those who wanted to.
A line quickly formed in front of him and he took the time to shake each person's hand and introduce themselves.
When asked what Boothe wanted the audience to take away from his performance, he said that it's okay to let things go, that it's not about having a master plan and that it's about finding the next "right" step. As he said during his performance:
"We don't get to choose what happens to us in life," Boothe said, "the only choice we get is how we react."

This article is about electric systems with 90° phase difference. For systems with two opposite (180°) live wires, see split-phase electric power.
Two-phase electrical power was an early 20th-century polyphase alternating current electric power distribution system. Two circuits were used, with voltage phases differing by one-quarter of a cycle, 90°. Usually circuits used four wires, two for each phase. Less frequently, three wires were used, with a common wire with a larger-diameter conductor. Some early two-phase generators had two complete rotor and field assemblies, with windings physically offset to provide two-phase power. The generators at Niagara Falls installed in 1895 were the largest generators in the world at that time and were two-phase machines. Three-phase systems eventually replaced the original two-phase power systems for power transmission and utilization. There remain few two-phase distribution systems, with examples in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; many buildings in Center City are permanently wired for two-phase and Hartford, Connecticut.
Two-phase circuits also have the advantage of constant combined power into an ideal load, whereas power in a single-phase circuit pulsates at twice the line frequency due to the zero crossings of voltage and current.
Three-phase electric power requires less conductor mass for the same voltage and overall power, compared with a two-phase four-wire circuit of the same carrying capacity. It has replaced two-phase power for commercial distribution of electrical energy, but two-phase circuits are still found in certain control systems.
Two-phase circuits typically use two separate pairs of current-carrying conductors. Alternatively, three wires may be used, but the common conductor carries the vector sum of the phase currents, which requires a larger conductor. The vector sum of three-phase currents, however, is zero, allowing for the neutral wires to be eliminated. In electrical power distribution, a requirement of only three conductors, rather than four, represented a considerable distribution-wire cost savings due to the expense of conductors and installation.
While both two-phase and three-phase circuits have a constant combined power for an ideal load, practical devices such as motors can suffer from power pulsations in two-phase systems. These power pulsations tend to cause increased mechanical noise in transformer and motor laminations due to magnetostriction and torsional vibration in generator and motor drive shafts.
Two-phase power can be derived from a three-phase source using two transformers in a Scott connection: One transformer primary is connected across two phases of the supply. The second transformer is connected to a center-tap of the first transformer, and is wound for 86.6% of the phase-to-phase voltage on the three-phase system. The secondaries of the transformers will have two phases 90 degrees apart in time, and a balanced two-phase load will be evenly balanced over the three supply phases.

KIDNAPPED In Budapest
"We read daily of people victimized by crime, fraud and violence but reject any thought that it could happen to us. However, a fulfilling overseas mission experience turned into a nightmare for Andy Dietz who found himself in a life-threatening situation. "Kidnapped" is an emotional and gripping account of that experience, but beyond the panic and intrigue that ensued, it is a challenge to put life values into perspective. Desperation reaches a new dimension when one's life is on the line, but with eternity in view one should be so desperate to know God."

Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving has closed
Racing school filed for Chapter 11 protection a month ago
Wes Raynal
The Bondurant driving school has taught legions of fans and stars how to drive quickly and safely.
The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving has closed its doors. The school traces its roots back to the world's first school for race car drivers and those who wanted to race. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Oct. 2 in Chandler, Arizona. Court filings listed total debts at between $1 million and $10 million, with between 50 and 99 creditors. In October, the school released a statement saying it would continue operating and serving its students and corporate groups "as usual."
The school was started around 1961 and became an institution. It taught celebrities like Tom Cruise, Tim Allen, Nicolas Cage and Clint Eastwood. The number of professional racers who studied under Bondurant is staggering, including but not limited to Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Rick Mears, Kurt Busch, Buddy Rice, Johnny O'Connell, Darren Law, Jack Roush Jr., Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson and a couple of Gordons (Jeff and Robby). It was also the official driving school for Dodge SRT.
We'll have more as this story develops.
