Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that results in a powdery gray or white coating on the leaves and stems of infected plants. It starts out as a few spores on the leaves, and quickly spreads, eventually yellowing the leaves and causing premature leaf drop. This happens frequently on roses, grapes, and many other plants.
Powdery mildew thrives in temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees. Dry, shady conditions are ideal, as are areas with poor air circulation. Planting disease resistant cultivars and making sure you allow for good air flow are two ways to guard against powdery mildew. Good air circulation goes a long way. Trim plants that get crowded or bushy. Inspect plants regularly during warm, dry conditions, and remove any leaves that show signs of infection. Destroy (do not compost!) infected plant parts. A spray made with baking soda, if applied weekly at the first signs of infection, can protect plants against further damage. Plants that are badly infected should be ripped out and destroyed to prevent the disease from spreading further.
Avoid overhead watering and do your watering in the morning so any water that does get on leaves has a chance to dry. If your plants are getting spray from a lawn sprinkler system, try moving the sprinkler a bit further away.

The risk of a single atypical mole to become cancerous is 1/100 compare to an ordinary mole to become cancerous 1/3000. Atypical moles are not uncommon. They look and act different than a common benign mole.
How does an Atypical Mole look like?
An atypical mole, also called "dysplastic nevus," is a mole whose appearance is different from that of a common mole. Atypical moles can look flat or slightly raised, can have irregular border and are generally larger in size (6-12 millimeters) than ordinary moles. Their color is often times not uniform and varies from tan to dark brown. The skin biopsy and microscopic evaluation of such a mole may also reveal atypical cells as well. These types of moles are usually hereditary and may develop into melanoma, a potentially fatal form of skin cancer.
Since early stages of skin cancer can just look like a mole, it is safer to have any "weird looking" moles medically evaluated. Call us for an appointment to have your moles checked. During your medical visit, Dr. Shafa will evaluate your suspicious mole with a hand held skin microscope called "Dermoscope". During such a exam she might find criteria for a atypical mole that justifies a skin biopsy. A biopsy of an atypical lesion might be indicated to establish a diagnosis and determine a customized plan for treatment.
Moles have a broad spectrum appearance as well as behavior.
Simply on very left of the spectrum there are those benign common ordinary moles that look like a flat small round uniformed color, not changing over years.
Far on the right side of the spectrum are skin lesions that are asymmetric (A), irregular border(B), uneven colored (C) with larger Diameter (D) evaluating (E) over time that can be a melanoma, a deadly skin cancer.
Now in between some moles does not look like ordinary mole or melanoma. This group of moles are classified under atypical moles.
How do atypical moles behave?
We know that common moles are safe and benign and melanoma are aggressive and deadly skin cancers. Atypical moles in between act and behavior is unknown. They can remain unchanged or grow into melanoma.
Is having atypical moles genetic?
Yes. Heredity appears to play a part in the formation of atypical moles. They tend to run in families, especially in Caucasians; about 2 to 8 percent of Caucasians have these moles.
How often should my moles be examined?
Existence of atypical moles and family history for melanoma increases the risk of having such a skin cancer. Dr Shafa recommends that you have your entire skin examined carefully with a dermoscope twice a year if you have high number of atypical moles. Remember more importance is that you are educated about look of a suspicious mole and come in for evaluation with a dermoscope whenever you find a lesion on your skin that does not look right to you.
If you have a mole that looks different than a typical mole, it is changing, it has a 'funny look" or you're concerned and your gut feeling says something is wrong, just give us a call and let us check it under dermoscope or perform a few minutes long procedure "a skin biopsy". That is how we make sure that it is an early skin cancer.
Individuals with AMS, medically called Dysplastic Nevus syndrome (DNS), are people with more than 50 moles, with three or more moles atypical in shape, size, structure or color. People with AMS are at higher risk ( 7 to 10 fold) of developing melanoma.
Who is at the highest risk for developing melanoma?
1) People who have atypical moles are at increased risk of developing melanoma in a mole or elsewhere on the body. The higher the number of these moles someone has, the higher the risk of being diagnosed with melanoma. Those who have 10 or more atypical moles have 12 times the risk of developing melanoma compared with the general population.
What should I do if I find a suspicious mole?
If you are suspicious of any mole, do not hesitate to make an appointment with Dr. Shafa for an evaluation. A mole biopsy is a very simple and pain free procedure that takes no more than a few minutes. It is always worth it to be on the safe side.
What is the chance of my mole turning into skin cancer?
Although an individual mole is unlikely to become malignant, the single best predictor of risk for development of melanoma is the total number of moles.
Should I have my moles removed to prevent complications?
No. Moles are extremely common and numerous, therefore, preventative removal of moles is not justifiable, however; a mole should be biopsied and examined microscopically if it has any of the characteristics of concern (ABCDE of melanoma).
Can my suspicious mole simply be shaved off for a biopsy?
No. The specimen must be deep enough for accurate microscopic diagnosis and should contain the entire lesion if possible, especially if the concern for malignancy is high. However, wide primary excision is not needed initially, even for highly abnormal-appearing lesions, because many such lesions are not cancerous.
Does cutting through skin cancer increase the risk of cancer spreading?
No. A skin biopsy, even one that involves cutting through skin cancer, does not increase the likelihood of the cancer spreading (metastasis). Dr. Shafa uses her expertise during mole removal to avoid extensive surgery for a skin lesion, but at the same time ensures that she has removed a sufficient amount of tissue for efficient microscopic evaluation of the entire mole. Of course, Dr. Shafa's artistic touch also ensures the best cosmetic outcome as well.


Can you use the soap that you make from either cold/hot process after the 4-6 weeks as a base for melt and pour if the base soap has nothing added to it?
I was thinking of making a basic soap with just the oils and water and lye. Leaving out the color and scent so my kids can help with the melt and pour!
Sadly, cold process and hot process soap do not melt down like the melt and pour soap base you buy.
Store bought melt and pour soap base will melt to a very fluid consistency and is very easy to pour and mix.
When you melt down cold process or hot process soap base it will resemble hot mashed potatoes!
This process is called re-batching soap and can be a lot of fun.
Something else you might like to try with the kids is making soap balls.

Northeast Harbor exhibit makes statement about the war in Iraq
In the summertime, art lovers who wander into the many galleries on the Maine coast, including the galleries in the tony town of Northeast Harbor, are accustomed to seeing the same kinds of images. Coastal scenes, landscapes and seascapes tend to prevail.
Political statements and serious issues, however, are a bit harder to come by in the summer season, which is one of the reasons jeweler Sam Shaw felt strongly about bringing a traveling show of so-called anti-war medals to Shaw Jewelers, his Main Street gallery.
The exhibit comprises 150 medals, most of which came from the traveling exhibit. Others came from a call Shaw put out to artists asking for contributions. The artists used a variety of materials and methods to produce their pieces, some of which are modeled after the traditional shape and design of war medals with pins, ribbons and the like.
Taken as a whole, however, the exhibit is a statement against war. Most of the medals directly address the war in Iraq.
The show, Shaw said, is a way for him to deal with his own frustrations and lack of support for the war.
"What I do best is I create beauty," he said. "That' s my contribution to this world. This [display] I find beautiful in its own way. I' m expressing my feelings about what' s going on as well as presenting these sometimes beautiful objects."
The show, which will be on display until July 30, has traveled to England, Norway and Spain. It first was shown in 2003 at the Velvet da Vinci Gallery in San Francisco and most recently was shown at the Thomas Mann Gallery I/O in New Orleans.
Shaw has strong feelings about the current situation with U.S. troops in Iraq — he' s firmly against the war, he said — and found the medals to be powerful when he saw them online for the first time.
"The pieces were so compelling that I really felt like I had to have this show," said Shaw, a former president of the Society of North American Goldsmiths who has had his gallery space in town for more than 25 years. "It was the personal aspect of a lot of these pieces. A lot of these medals are extremely heartfelt, very personal and very much articulate peoples' feelings about the atrocities and the mess we' ve gotten ourselves into [in Iraq]."
The pieces in the exhibit are vastly different from most of the jewelry in Shaw' s gallery and are far from traditional jewelry.
The artists who contributed to the exhibit used few precious gems in their pieces. Some artists used metal and ribbon for a more familiar war-medal look, but many chose different materials such as photographs, rubber bands and plastic. One medal, called "Blood, Sweat &amp Tears," is a display of a vial of each of those materials. Another, called "Right Through the Heart," incorporates a Vietnam War-era bayonet.
"What this show is, is a show of ideas, a show of emotions, a show of point of view," Shaw said. "It' s not about precious [stones]."
The artists' ideas about what an anti-war medal is vary as much as the materials they chose. Some medals are definitive statements against the Bush administration. Others emphasize peace. Some blame large oil companies for what is perceived to be their role in the situation in the Middle East. One medal reminds observers of the losses mothers and children suffer in war. Another pin was inspired by the members of the artist' s family who served in different wars.
There are narrative works and abstract pieces. The artists range from important names in the field to hobbyists.
Even the display method is different — while most of the jewelry pieces in Shaw' s gallery are set inside glass cases, the medals have been attached to a piece of black fabric hanging on a wall.
Shaw said he didn' t bring the medals to Northeast Harbor to stir things up. He wanted the anti-war medals in place this summer, rather, so the maximum number of visitors could see the pieces. The work is all for sale, but for Shaw it' s as important for visitors to the gallery at least to see the medals and understand the message of the exhibit.
At least one summer visitor was caught off guard by the relatively dark display in a gallery on Main Street of this quiet, pretty town.
"[The exhibit is] not, like, pretty," said Carlton DeWoody, a 27-year-old New York City resident and mixed-media artist who wandered into the gallery while Shaw and his staff were organizing the medals. "It' s good to show something edgy in such a not-edgy place. And it' s good to have a little reminder when you' re walking through heaven on earth that it' s not heaven everywhere."

It might be a couple more weeks before we get the whole 2015-2016 AHL schedule, and with it the Phantoms home and away schedule. However, for now we can plan for these preseason games. For season ticket holders, these games are included in our packages. For other fans, single game tickets will be available at a reduced price (if last year was any indication). I'm taking the presence of a home/Sunday game as a harbinger of more Sunday home dates throughout the season. We'll see.
Single-game tickets for the home contests will be available beginning Friday, August 21. 20-game plan holders will be able to choose which game/package they prefer, coming soon. It sounds like the Phantoms may have some goodies in store for us on the "preseason weekend" with the back-to-back games and all. Stay tuned!


Organizing digital files can seem like an enormous job. In fact it can be a very time consuming task. However it doesn't have to be that way. Any big project can be broken down into manageable steps. Here I have broken down this challenge into 3 simple steps.
The key here is not to get stuck on memory lane, it's just like cleaning out a closet. You WILL find a file or picture that you want to open and read or look at. DON'T that's a trap and will cost you a lot more time. Let that be your reward when you are finished sorting.
Stay on task, your focus is organizing your digital files, not taking inventory of every baby picture you forgot about or old essays you can't believe you saved. To stay focused I suggest setting a time limit. Give yourself 1 hour per category. Do pics one day, documents another... simply SORT your files.
With digital files the key is to make use of your FOLDERS. Most computers have a system already, called My Documents, My Pictures, My Movies, My Music... this is a good start. Once your media is divided you can create sub folders or a folder within a folder. After your files are sorted you will be able to easily locate them because they are organized!
Step 2: Categorize your media into folders: Learn how to create new folders and label them. For example you might want all word documents in one folder and excel spreadsheets in another. The focus here is on dividing your media into categories that make finding them easier. This way when you are looking for that spreadsheet you made last tax season you will know where to look. Do you have a lot of pics of your kids? Divide them into years, this is not at hard as it seems because most pics have a date attached to the file. Sort the pics by date automatically, by viewing them by date created and put them in folders by month or year. I will elaborate more about organizing pics in another blog. In this step your focus is to categorize your media to make your searches easier.
Step 3: Organize your folders with sub folders.
When you create a folder within a folder this is a sub folder. Consider one per family member. Categorize your documents. If you are a student you will want to have a folder per class. Separate work folders, give them a title that will be clear to you, maybe the name of your business or a specific task. Sub folders make a digital file easier to locate so the key is to label your sub folders appropriately. Remember to save your future files in the right folders to maintain this organized system.
After your media is categorized and labeled then you can invest the time into "going thru" those folders and actually seeing whats in them. One folder at a time will make this a time manageable task. But until then your digital media should prove to be less of an organizing challenge.


I am not sure if you guys feel the same, but I get pretty excited to share a new "Beautiful Homes of Instagram" every week here. It's wonderful to see the process of each and every post. I not only have to approach and talk to each homeowner, but they also need to prepare their home for the photos, get all of the information together and send it to me. I then gather all of the details and share them here, on Home Bunch. It's not a very simple nor a fast process. Most of these homeowners do all of the job themselves and I have to mention how grateful and honored I am to introduce these talented people. They truly deserve our gratitude!
Today, this "Beautiful Homes of Instagram" feels extra special to me. Abbie, from The Gray Cottage, is someone I wish lived next door to me. Do you know those people you talk for a few minutes and feel as if you knew the person for a long time? Abbie is warm, sweet and very smart. Here you will not only see how she and her husband built this home but also how they incorporate their own style to each space.
Trust me, we're lucky to have Abbie here and you will love getting to know her as much as I did!
Hello y'all! My name is Abbie and our home is known as "The Gray Cottage." My jaw dropped when Luciane asked to feature our home – what an incredible treat to be featured along side these gorgeous homes. Luciane creates a place where amazing design inspiration is showcased. She is such a darling person. I can't thank her enough for this opportunity.
*Honest moment here* – I was so close to backing out because the exterior of our home is far from finished and I felt completely intimidated by our home being featured along side some truly perfect homes. Luciane is incredible because she put my fears at ease and encouraged us to be real with people. The single word I would use to describe our home is "grace". It is a gift we truly do not deserve. There are days when we still don't believe that this home is ours. While we were building our home, we invited our family and friends over to write prayers and verses on the studs of our home. We wanted to make sure our home was built on a firm foundation, without it, none of this matters. My husband and I are just two average people who both work and built a home with a very real budget. I hope you enjoy our home tour and can feel the love and care we put in to making our home.
My husband, Jon, and I have a boxer named Bronx. We work together at my family's company designing libraries and furniture for schools across the country. He is the marketing director and I am a project manager. I could have never tackled this house build without Jon. There were a lot of moments that drew us closer as a couple and I am forever grateful.
In terms of architectural styles, I would characterize our home as a craftsman style with farmhouse and cottage touches. It is uniquely ours. Since we don't live in a neighborhood, we wanted to keep in line with several of the nearby homes, to make sure it would have good resell value, if we ever went that route. This is our forever home so we certainly don't have any plans of that happening.
We worked with a local architect ("K & A Home Designs Inc.) to create our floor plan. Our contractor was "Atkins Building and Remodeling". They worked in tandem to bring our vision to life.
It is a very open concept home. Our main floor is 2400 square feet and we left the entire upstairs unfinished and roughed in plumbing for future expansion. First floor has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. We used an I-beam to eliminate the need for columns in the living/kitchen/dining spaces. The bar height angled island sections off the kitchen, while keeping sight lines open. Double sets of french doors and transoms allow light to flood in from the screened porch. 3 large windows define the dining space while sharing light with the kitchen. Quick overview of the floorplan: center is living/kitchen/dining, to the left side of the house includes the owners suite to the back and the front is a bed/bath/closet area. The right side features another bed/bath, laundry/mudroom, garage, and staircase to the unfinished upstairs.
Our home decor style is best defined as a "contemporary cottage." It is my desire to create a calming environment for us to relax in while we are at home. I love bringing plants, fresh produce, glass, and baskets in as textural elements. We prefer clean lines and simple decor. Melted candles are also a must. Our house is gray so it kind of named itself – hah! Our end goal is to make the house feel cozy and welcoming to all who enter. During the summer, our front porch has baskets filled with flowers that spill over the railing. The screened back porch is home to all kind of random plants that I decide to foster. (My plant collection contains a lot of crazy plants (see pictures for evidence).
Grey Siding & White Trim Exterior Paint Color: Grey siding paint color is Gauntlet Gray Sherwin Williams and white trim paint color is Snowbound by Sherwin Williams.
Door Handle: Emtek Assa Abloy.
This is one of the best grey exterior paint colors in my opinion — it's deep yet not too dark.
When you step into our foyer, it opens directly into the living/kitchen/dining. Our pantry and office are directly to the right and left of the foyer walls. It's a relatively small foyer and one side is slightly deeper to accommodate a table and benches. Still on the hunt for the perfect set. Since our home faces north, we used a door with windows to let light in. The tongue/groove planks set a more casual standard for our home, while the dark accent wall color dresses up the foyer ever so slightly.
The wall paint color is Mount Etna SW7625 Sherwin Williams. Paneling is Sherwin Williams Snowbound.
Interior Door Paint: Black Fox by Sherwin Williams.
Fixture: Savoy House Penrose (Polished Nickel).
Crystal Knob: Emtek Assa Abloy.
I designed our kitchen from scratch using a company called "Decorative-Specialties". NO prior experience and I learned a whole lot. My husband and I also built it…from scratch! Everything shipped to us flat and we put it together. Team building …am I right?
Barstools: World Market French Bistro.
My husband and dad built our vent hood as well. I painted the hood with Annie Sloan paint. A local friend/cabinet installer helped us set/hang the cabinetry.
The paint color is Annie Sloan 50% Paris Gray / 50% graphite.
The kitchen features a 36″ Kitchenaid Gas cooktop.
Wall Baskets: Michaels & Target.
Salt & Pepper Cellars: Crate and Barrel.
The island holds dual pull out wastecans, 30″wide stainless sink, and dishwasher. Natural maple cabinet interiors create a neutral backdrop. Cabinet paint color is Benjamin Moore Decorators White.
Contertop is Polished Steel Gray granite.
Island Pendants: Brinley Mini Pendant (Brushed Nickel).
Simple and beautiful! I love how Abbie decorates a home.
Kitchen faucet is Moen Arbor in Stainless.
Our kitchen is packed with storage. From the floor to ceiling cabinets to the pull out drawers in every base cabinet and the lazy-susan corner cabinet, I made sure there was a home for everything. I still have cabinets that are empty – hah. All doors have soft close hinges while the drawers also feature heavy duty soft close glides by Salice. Growing up my mom always had drawers under the cooktop in her kitchen for her large pots, so I wanted to carry that feature into our home.
Kitchen Island: 13ft overall (island is angled and seats 4, we added tongue/groove planks to increase durability on front of island).
Vintage silver trays and a chalk message board brings a farmhouse feel to the kitchen.
The pantry is one of my favorite elements – it stores everything, including a sink with coffee bar.
Faucet: Moen Arbor in Stainless.
The wood shelves are from Lowe's.
We used chrome shelving to display our serving dishes and canvas baskets to house our food. I love that everything is on display, it gives the space a fun bakery feel.
Chrome Baker's Shelves: Home Depot.
Since our main living areas are open to each other, I knew I had to use windows to define each space. The dining room features 3 large windows that let in copious amounts of light. There is also a niche that hosts an antique buffet and moody wall paint. We have plans to add cabinetry here, but for now we love how this space functions! The large scale art creates the base for most of the colors in these 3 spaces. I pull from it all the time!
8ft Concrete Pedestal Table: Local furniture shop.
Dining Fixture: Venn 6-light Drum Chandelier (Brushed Nickel).
Chairs : World Market French Bistro.
Hardwood floors: "Horizon Forest" – 5″ rough milled white oak, water popped with dark walnut stain. We love all the swirls and knots they feature.
Table Runner: World Market placemats...that my mom and I hot-glued together…It's hard to find inexpensive runners that fit an 8ft table, so I made one.
Place Settings: Crate and Barrel.
Wall paint color is Mount Etna by Sherwin Williams.
Bar tray is Home Goods with vintage decanters.
Isn't it a great spot to slow down and read a good book? Curtains are from West Elm.
This space is what you see when you enter our foyer. Symmetrical tufted sofas, french doors, and a fireplace. We love having the doors open during the warmer months to create an even larger entertaining space with the screened porch. Puddled curtains help keep the space warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Sofas: Stevens 92″ by Robin Bruce.
Rug: Rugs USA – Bosphorus Floral Ornament Ivory 9×12.
Abbie brings beauty to her home in subtle ways. Mirror is from Target and candles are Capri Blue Volcano.
Our trunk coffee table stores games and blankets.
Coffee Table: Crate and Barrel.
Draperies are from West Elm. I love them!
Pillows: Chartreuse Velvet – Pottery Barn ; Printed – Home Goods.
When we are out on the porch, it feels like we are in a tree house. Watching a summer storm come in is one of our favorite things.
We have cafe string lights and a little table to eat out here too. Bronx (our dog) especially loves to be out here.
Swivel Chairs & Furry Pillows: At Home.
This is one of my most eclectic spaces as it holds various treasures that I find in nature.
Trim Paint Color: This trim color works very well with any wall paint color; "Snowbound by Sherwin Williams".
Trim Details: Trim profiles were custom selections with a local millwork company. Crown is 6 inches and base is 8 inches. Door/window profiles are 4 inch straight with a 6 inch header and bead in between.
Our master ensuite is our personal retreat complete with a vaulted ceiling and tall windows. Three square transom windows create a headboard over the master bed and a big fluffy bed completes the nest. We chose to paint the ceiling dark to create a stunning backdrop for the chandelier. Ceiling paint color is Mount Etna SW7625 Sherwin Williams.
The bedding and curtains pull in the deep blue tones from the ceiling and help anchor the room. I discovered this year that I loved putting the main Christmas tree in here, it makes such a statement.
Bedroom chandelier is Warehouse of Tiffany – Saturn's Ring 32″ orb chandelier from Overstock.
Sheets: Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Duvet & Shams: Pottery Barn Mackenna in Blue.
Dresser & Bed Tables: Bassett Artisanal.
We kept our tile, grout, and counter selections simple since we wanted the focus of the space to be the vanity that we built.
Master Bathroom Countertop & Tub Surround: Silestone Quartz – Gray Expo.
Bath Floor Tiles: Emser Napa Nero 18×18.
Lighting: Jeremiah Preston Hollow 2-Light.
The semi-frameless glass shower and transom window lets light flood the rest of the bathroom.
Shower Floor & Niche Mosaic: Emser Metro Gray Geometric.
Bathroom Wall Tiles: Lowe's American Olean Mooreland Carrara White Ceramic 9×12.
I did pull in the same dark wall color into my tub space – it reflects candle light beautifully! The front of the tub also features tongue/groove planks to reflect trim in other areas of our home. White and glass accessories complete the room.
Tub faucet is by Moen.
We designed/built our master vanity out of maple and stained it in Minwax Early American.
We used the same tongue/groove planks to keep trim elements cohesive throughout.
This is the hardest working room in the house. It connects directly to the laundry (which is our next big project – hah!) and the staircase to go upstairs. The dog treat jar is obviously the most important thing here.

Extract of sample "Ibn al-athir"
Ibn al-Athir: On the Tatars, 1220-1221 CE A Reflection The Arab historian Ibn Al-Athir vividly depicts the success of the Tatars in invading numerous territories around the world. He also described how this horde of invaders wreaked complete destruction of the lands they conquered. Ibn Al-Athir even described the rise of the Tatars as "this terrible calamity, the like of which the days and nights had never before brought forth, engulfed the whole of creation and in particular, the Muslims". He claimed that the Muslims had suffered the most from the invading Tatars.
The document about the Tatars was written by Ibn Al-Athir in 1220-1221 CE. The document was perhaps written in Mesopotamia since the Arab historian lived in Mosul, a place located in Northern Iraq. The document seems to be a narrative of secondhand information about the Tatars. The author had described the stories he heard about the atrocities of the Tatars. For instance, he stated "It is now time for us to describe how they first burst forth into the lands. Stories have been related to me, which the hearer can scarcely credit, as to the terror of the Tatars, which God Almighty cast into men's hearts; so that it is said that a single one of them would enter a village or a quarter wherein were many people, and would continue to slay them one after another, none daring to stretch forth his hand against this horseman". Ibn al-Athir wrote a document about the exploits of 'horsemen' from China, specifically referring to the Mongols led by Genghis Khan.
The document was written for those who are interested in knowing the nature or characteristics of Mongol invaders. The author specifically addresses the Muslims who were victimized by the cruelties of these conquerors. It seems that the author wants to rekindle the religious zeal of the Muslims who, historically, were insulted and slighted by the 'bizarre' religion of the Tatars: "As for their religion, they worship the sun when it rises, and regard nothing as unlawful, for they eat all beasts, even dogs, pigs, and the like…" The main point of the document is that the Tatars were obviously mighty conquerors, whose conquests should be admired by all, but were clearly 'barbaric', 'profane', and 'savage'. The author described how these invaders inflicted sufferings in the lands they swept into. They were successful conquerors but the unspeakable horrors they perpetrated should cast them as savages in the eyes of God. The author enumerated the territories conquered by this invading horde and, at the same time, commenting about the lawlessness and corruption of the Mongol invasion.
The document of Ibn al-Athir about the Tatars reveals that the society he was referring to already suffered major invasions, such as that of Nebuchadnezzar. The invasions were extraordinary in character, especially in terms of brutality and severity. It was a period of aggressive territorial expansion, of remarkable leadership. It was a period of power hoarding, the likes of which determine the future of the nations and the world. Read More

Thread: Gang of Eight' Amnesty Architect Declares Victory as GOP/Dems Pass Green Card Giveawa

Gang of Eight' Amnesty Architect Declares Victory as GOP/Dems Pass Green Card Giveawa
'Gang of Eight' Amnesty Architect Declares Victory as GOP/Dems Pass Green Card Giveaway

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
The architect of the infamous "Gang of Eight" amnesty plan in 2013 is declaring victory as 140 House Republicans helped House Democrats pass an overhaul that allows India to monopolize the United States' green card system for at least a decade.
Immigration attorney Leon Fresco is praising House Republicans and House Democrats for advancing HR. 1044, legislation that allows thousands of Indian nationals who have taken American jobs through programs like the H-1B visa at the behest of tech conglomerates and Indian outsourcing firms to more quickly obtain green cards to eventually get American citizenship.
The legislation allows Indian nationals to effectively monopolize the U.S. green card system for at least the next ten years, providing a constant stream of foreign workers to the outsourcing lobby and tech giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google that American professionals will be forced to compete against for white-collar U.S. jobs.
Fresco, who boasts about being the "primary drafter" of 2013's Gang of Eight amnesty scheme — the legislation that would have provided amnesty to the majority of illegal aliens in the U.S. and would have helped add 32 million eligible foreign-born voters to the U.S. electorate by 2036 — praised the passage of the green card giveaway online:
Fresco applauded Rep. Dan Crenshaw's (R-TX) explanation of why he voted in support of the green card giveaway plan, calling it "the most cogent explanation" of the legislation:
This year, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kevin McAleenan approved Fresco to join the DHS Advisory Council despite his staunch opposition to President Trump's "America First" immigration agenda.
Despite tech corporations' claims that there is a shortage of American workers to take coveted high-paying, white collar jobs in the STEM fields, about four million young Americans enter the workforce each year. Many American workers have spoken out about how they were fired, replaced, and forced to train their foreign replacements.
Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa and are allowed to stay for up to six years. There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment.
Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program. The replacement of American workers through the H-1B visa program is set to be exacerbated by HR. 1044.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Amy Smith, Josh Parham & Daniel Howat. Together, we're reviewing the latest film from director George Miller, "Three Thousand Years Of Longing," starring Tilda Swinton & Idris Elba. The film premiered out of competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival and is following up the biggest success of his career with the critically acclaimed and Oscar-winning "Mad Max: Fury Road." It's the kind of film a filmmaker as visionary as Miller could only make after the success of his previous film because it's one hell of a big swing, filled with fantastical imagery and lots of flashbacks in a sprawling love story commenting on the nature of storytelling. What did we think of the story, performances, and technical aspects? Tune in below to find out. Thank you, and enjoy!

It's All About the Lipid Nanoparticle Envelope: Wilson Sonsini and the Moderna Case Against Pfizer and BioNTech
By Political Moonshine on August 27, 2022
Back on the 20th of this month in private dialogue with a prominent and well informed attorney, the matter of the Moderna case against Pfizer and BioNTech surfaced for reasons related to the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. At question was whether the firm had any representation relative to patents pertaining to COVID-19 mRNA "vaccinations".
The answer is a resolute, yes.
Not only did the firm have representation relative to patents on the mRNA "vaccines", but it ties directly to two of the most critical patents for the entire "vaccine" vector of the COVID-19 enterprise fraud construct.
For clarity, we'll begin with a 2021 Moderna case tied to Arbutus and then connect it to a second more recent Moderna case against Pfizer and BioNTech. We begin with Wilson Sonsini.
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
Of concern is the nature of Wilson Sonsini as a firm that rivals Kirkland & Ellis, King & Spaulding and Perkins Coie as one of the most monstrous and swampy law firms around. I've heard Wilson Sonsini described as a powerhouse of 1000 attorneys representing the biggest and worst corporations on the planet. Moreover, the firm is enmeshed in insider trading crimes. If that isn't enough, one of its partners is reportedly known as "The Godfather of Silicon Valley".
I've even seen evidence linking the firm to other important matters but those exclusively sourced angles are for a future article; once I'm permitted to write it.
Another peculiarity found in the matter is the firm name Rosati respective to DEA Agent Joseph Rosati, who factors into the controversial whistleblower testimony of Dr. Johnathan McGreevey also known as John Here to Help. Lin Wood took McGreevey's statement. I then used the statement, which I can not entirely validate and only present for consideration, to translate it into a series of visual schematics to examine all of the nexuses and associations [this one features Rosati].
In particular, Rosati ties to Garrett Ziegler and the work at Marco Polo. More specifically, I received and later sat in Ziegler's office listening to the voicemails from incoming calls to a Ziegler phone. Those voicemails were evidenced to come from Joseph Rosati and in them, explicit threats were made to send Ziegler to prison for his ongoing work.
These are serious people.
Rosati factors into Ziegler's publicly available base of work with regularity just as he factors into the broader private Marco Polo dialogue to which I'm privy.
Ziegler has yet to respond to direct inquiry about the overlaying Rosati name and so it remains a question.
Digressing we return to the Moderna suit.
Moderna, Arbutus & Lipid Nanoparticle Envelopes
Moderna's suit against Pfizer and BioNTech draws Wilson Sonsini into the picture via a Canadian pharmaceutical company called Arbutus. Arbutus is critical to the COVID-19 construct for reasons covered in detail while examining and reporting on Dr. David E. Martin's corpus of work into the existing 40,000 U.S. patent filings pertaining to the bioengineered SARS-CoV-2 virus. From the 24 Jul 21 Moonshine article:
Also in March of 2019, a series of rejected patent filings were amended and described as a very bizarre behavior. The amended filings were such that a "deliberate release" of coronavirus be included in the filing.
There were 4 failed patent applications amended to begin the process of a coronavirus vaccine development program and they began dealing with a significant problem of relying upon technology they did not own.
Two Canadian companies – Arbutus Pharmaceuticals and Acuitas Pharmaceuticals actually own the patent on the lipid nanoparticle envelope that's required to deliver the injection of the mRNA fragment.
The respective patents have been issued in Canada, in the U.S. and around the world and in their world intellectual property equivalents.
Again, Moonshine's initial investigative vectors on vaccine patent and patent-sharing agreements bear down with full might here.
Moderna knew it didn't own the rights and entered negotiations with Abbutus and Acuitas to resolve the patent issues and permit the technology to be put into a vaccine.
In this 01 Dec 21 brief from Wilson Sonsini, we ascertain the important details and of particular interest to our focus here is of course the name Arbutus. The brief also provides an excellent and succinct description for the inherent value found in the patents for the lipid nanoparticle envelope. It amounts to proper the motive and the absolute necessity behind attaining the patents:
On December 1, 2021, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's (PTAB's) earlier rulings that ModernaTX, Inc. (formerly Moderna Therapeutics Inc.) failed to invalidate claims in two Arbutus Biopharma Corp. patents, known as the '069 and '435 patents, and left the '069 patent fully intact. The trading price of Arbutus shares jumped as much as 95 percent after the court posted its opinions on its electronic docket. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati represented Arbutus in the matter.
Arbutus's U.S. Patent Nos. 8,058,069 and 9,364,435 relate to a composition based on lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology that delivers nucleic acid payloads to allow the human body to make its own therapeutic proteins.
According to a recent Reuters article, "Moderna previously said in court filings that it believes Arbutus could bring a lawsuit demanding royalties from its COVID-19 vaccine if the patents were upheld." Reuters reported that Moderna "last month forecast 2021 sales of between $15 billion and $18 billion, and 2022 sales of between $17 billion and $22 billion, for its COVID-19 vaccine."
The Wilson Sonsini team that represented Arbutus Biopharma in the matter includes Michael Rosato, Sonja Gerrard, Steve Parmelee, Lora Green, and Jad Mills.
For more information, please see these Reuters and Bloomberg articles covering the decisions.
Wilson Sonsini
In short, if the vaccine manufacturers did not secure the rights to the lipid nanoparticle envelope, there would be no mRNA "vaccines" at all ergo there could be no "pandemic" at all. The kids [payload] don't get to school if there's no school bus [lipid nanoparticle envelope] to deliver them.
When I was asked to generalize the case, I stated this quoting a source in private dialogue:
It's over royalties pertaining to the lipid nanoparticle envelope used to deliver the genetic material in the mRNA injections. Arbutus holds two patents that tie to Moderna's mRNA injection ergo they seek royalties accordingly. "Moderna previously said in court filings that it believes Arbutus could bring a lawsuit demanding royalties from its COVID-19 vaccine if the patents were upheld." Reuters reported that Moderna "last month forecast 2021 sales of between $15 billion and $18 billion, and 2022 sales of between $17 billion and $22 billion, for its COVID-19 vaccine."
I wrote the first Moonshine COVID-19 article on 09 Feb 20, once I had accumulated enough evidence; with actual work drawing back to the very beginning of January, 2020. That article focused on medical and pharmaceutical patents and patent sharing agreements and it is the genesis of the direction for all of the work leading to the present.
Reuters reported in 2021,
Moderna is also embroiled in a months-long patent conflict over its COVID-19 vaccine with the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). read more
NIH has asserted that three of its scientists helped design the genetic sequence used in Moderna's multibillion-dollar vaccine and should be named on the patent application, a claim the company disagrees with.
The company maintains that the mRNA sequence in the company's vaccine was selected exclusively by Moderna's scientists, and without input of NIH scientists.
As Bloomberg reported in 2021, Moderna's motive to rabidly defend its future and success is clear:
Moderna's future is tied to the Covid vaccine. The company reported $60.2 million in revenue in 2019, a figure that jumped to $803.4 million last year, boosted by federal grants. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company has projected about $20 billion in sales this year, almost all of it from the Covid vaccine.
A Moderna spokeswoman said the court's patent ruling is unrelated to the company's dispute with the U.S. National Institutes of Health over whether government scientists should have been included as co-inventors of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine in a key patent application.
A representative of Arbutus didn't respond to a request for comment.
Warminster, Pennsylvania-based Arbutus was "heavily favored" to win the appeals, which could lead to an infringement suit against Moderna, Jefferies analysts Kelechi Chikere and Michael Yee had said in a note to clients.
Moderna appealed, challenging the board's findings that it didn't show parts of the patents were obvious and anticipated.
The cases are Arbutus Biopharma Corp. v. Moderna Therapeutics Inc., 20-1186; and Moderna TX Inc. v. Arbutus Biopharma Corp., 20-2329, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Lipid Nanoparticles
The patents cover lipid nanoparticles — tiny balls of fat that protect genetic material as it travels through the body to enter specific cells to deliver drugs. Messenger RNA, the genetic material at the heart of the Covid vaccines, needs the lipid nanoparticles as a protective shell.
Royalties from nerve-function drug Onpattro — the first Food and Drug Administration-approved medicine that used Arbutus's technology — form the only source of revenue for Arbutus, which reported just $6.9 million in licensing fees last year.
Investors have been speculating that the Arbutus patents, directed to a more stable lipid nanoparticle, will entitle the company to royalties from the mRNA-based vaccines by Moderna and Pfizer Inc. Moderna has a license to the Arbutus patents, but it's limited to the areas of a respiratory virus known as RSV, Influenza A, and the mosquito-transmitted viruses Chikungunya and Zika.
Moderna preemptively challenged three Arbutus patents on the technology at the PTAB, with mixed results. The board invalidated one patent not at issue in the Federal Circuit's latest two rulings, upheld all of another, and upheld some claims of a third.
It's all about the lipid nanoparticle envelope.
Moderna, Pfizer & BioNTech
The most recent Moderna case against Pfizer and BioNTech is introduced by the NY Post:
Moderna is suing Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech for patent infringement in the development of the first COVID-19 vaccine approved in the United States, alleging they copied technology that Moderna developed years before the pandemic.
Pfizer shares fell 2.3% while BioNTech slumped 4%.
The lawsuit, which seeks undetermined monetary damages, was being filed in US District Court in Massachusetts and the Regional Court of Dusseldorf in Germany, Moderna said in a news release on Friday.
Reporting from Zero Hedge brings the two cases full circle as overlaid with Martin's work. Martin first identified the patent conflicts that NIH and the vaccine manufactures encountered relative to Arbutus and those patents tied to the lipid nanoparticle envelopes, which are required to deliver the genetic payload. That payload reprograms human DNA through the reverse transcription process in places like the liver. The changes cause the human body to begin producing the deadly S1 spike protein on its own:
In their lawsuit, Moderna says Pfizer and BioNTech had other options but "decided to proceed with a vaccine that has the same exact mRNA chemical modification to its vaccine" as their treatment. It also accused the pair of copying its method of encoding a full-length spike protein in a lipid nanoparticle.
Beware of Wilson Sonsini. More to come.
Beyond the obvious thought that Big Pharma is infighting to profit off genocide, here's what's really important about all of this and it presents in simplistic form: 1-with no patents for the lipid nanoparticle envelope, there is no "pandemic", 2-because the first phase of the "pandemic" manifested out of fraudulent data produced by enterprise fraud prosecutable under RICO statute, 3-and that is not a sustainable method as the evidence now shows, 4-and so the second phase of the "pandemic" is built to rely mostly on data aggregated out of the evidenced statistical increase in illnesses and disease that has occurred since the roll-out of the mRNA injections, 5-meaning that SARS-CoV-2 was nothing more than the designed impetus to force mRNA injections on the people and not the ultimate objective, 6-because the true pandemic is evidenced to be one of the vaccinated, 7-with the vaccinated now producing the illness and disease by means of their acquired S1 spike protein production, 8-and this creates the perpetual component to the fraud construct, 9-and all by design with the Martin corpus of work into U.S. patents evidencing that, 10-the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the tests to diagnose it and the "vaccines" to remedy it are all owned by essentially the same people.
If you were looking to establish a closed circle fraud construct to execute a fraudulent pandemic, having ownership of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the tests to diagnose it and the "vaccines" to remedy it would be required. A complicit, corrupt, witting and treasonous MSM seals the deal for them.
As Moonshine has been hollering loudly, for a long time and alone, it's all enterprise fraud, y'all. The construct was designed to exist in perpetuity and that delivers the technocratic global plantation being facilitated by medical tyranny as enforced by Bolshevism and the CCP's brand of Marxist communism.

Read A Court of Thorn and Roses first, please.
This one doesn't come out until August but put it on your list.
Phew. I'm going to leave you with those few. I read some A+ YA and a couple of really good adult novels these two months. I also had the privilege of meeting Trish Doller after finding out she works out my local Barnes & Noble. (She was lovely, I was a wreck.) I've got some fun comics that I've been reading, too, so check me out on Goodreads if you want!
Here's a picture of Chris Evans being adorable for your time.


An 18-wheeler wreck on I-40 in Pulaski Co caused a huge mess. Fireball Whiskey can be seen all over the interstate. Crews say it will be a while as they clean the accident. As of 1:45 pm on Thursday, traffic was at a standstill on I-40, Highway 89, and Highway 70.

Gili Islands located on the Northwest coast of Lombok in Indonesia, it is the group of three small islets Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, each one of them extremely beautiful and tranquil in their very own way. The beauty of Gili Islands is carefully crafted and it has been very well kept alive by Indonesia which doesn't fail to leave a mark on its tourists and travelers. Owing to its distant location from the main island, Gili is not that overcrowded and is visited by few who are looking for a peaceful, romantic and luxurious getaway. And to keep the romance intact, Gili islands offer the perfect blend of vintage charm along with the modern amenities. The distinctive feature of this island is that there are no motor vehicles on the island. The only means of transport is horse carts which are limited in number. You can make your stay at the beach resorts on the Gili meant for romantic couples and enjoy the nightlife as well.

Located at an elevation of 1717 m above the sea level, Mount Batur is a sacred mountain surrounded by a lake and other peaks to beautify the landscape. Moreover, it is a sacred mountain if Hindu traditions are to be believed which makes its way on everyone's itinerary who is visiting Bali. The best suited time for the trek is early in the morning, possibly at 3-4 in the morning so that you can climb up just in time to witness the most spectacular sunrise ever. The mountain is surrounded by the pixie dust of clouds and the temperature takes a drop while the sun rises from behind the peaks leaving the hues of colors in the sky. Trekking can get exhausting during the dry season but is so pleasing in December, the views will tell you all.
Nowhere else in the world will you find diving like the one done in Bali. Done in the coral triangle, an area of the Pacific Ocean, you will encounter 76 percent of all the world's known coral species and up to 2000 species of reef fish. It's time to take out that gorgeous swimming costume and go for a diving hour, only and only in Bali. One of the best ways to explore it is on a liveaboard boat around the Raja Ampat Islands in the West Papua province. The rainy season lasts from April to September which makes the sea a little turbulent. Once it gets pleasant in December, you can bring your adventure out in the underwater.
As far as your eyes can see, stretches the rice fields of Ubud, which are also listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The paddy fields are known for its terrace farming which locals not only see as their means of livelihood but they are also a landscape that tourists shouldn't miss. The infinite green fields stretching across the vast span of land with the backdrop of the mountain ranges and volcanoes. Being one of the most visited places in Bali, one can take a cycle tour and as well enjoy strolling around in the paddy fields in Ubud. Rice fields are a must visit in the rainy season and trust me it only gets better in winters.

Lovina is a very famous beach located in the north part of Bali. You can enjoy early morning dolphin show here and believe us, there is nothing that can be compared to the feeling of watching a school of dolphins together complimented by the most amazing sunrise. Just make it there at the break of the dawn, possibly at 5 in the morning to add the beauty of sunrise with the playful dolphins. Other than watching this mesmerizing view, you can also enjoy your breakfast at the beach while listening to live music.
Also! Did we tell you about the oh-so-awesome party life of Semniyak? Check it out here.

There are such long breaks between seasons of Battlestar Galactica that I've forgotten what the frak is happening in the series. That half-season tease last year was a rotten, dirty trick.
I remember something about finding Earth, though in considerably poorer shape than anyone had anticipated. But there's still a great deal of speculation about who the missing cylons are. And I don't remember many remain to be revealed. (Or have they been revealed? I don't remember!) Is Roslin still dying? I'm finding it hard to recall who's dead and who's still alive. That air-lock sure got a lot of use last season.
Currently, I'm enthralled by a series of webisodes (oh, how I dislike that word) taking place after the last season 4 broadcast. It's all so deliciously familiar: the spaceship sound effects, Tigh's crusty Canadian voice.
Plus, apparently, Gaeta's gay! I've been wondering why a show depicting a society sexually liberated enough to have men and women share the same bathrooms, has been so completely absent of gay characters. But I am a little suspicious. The last time they dragged out a gay character, it was during a lull between seasons. Remember Admiral Cain from Galactica Razor? And she ended up dead!
There was no hint of her love life during Season 3, but in a between-season TV movie, we find she had an affair with a Six!
And now a freshly amputated Gaeta has a revelation. Is it a cynical plea for attention? Are the homos not good enough for the regular seasons? We'll just throw them an extracurricular bone here and there? We'll see.
For now, I miss this damn show so much that I am perfectly willing to live through another tease. And it gives me plenty of time to pick through the site and catch the frak up. There's an excellent eight-minute recap of the first three seasons.
It's pictures like this that make me perfectly comfortable with idolatry.
When I was a kid, I had recurring dreams that the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica were after me. We'd see them approaching down the street, and my mom would wrap me in an afghan and hide me behind the couch. She'd politely let them in when they knocked at the door (yes, they knocked), and I'd hear them clunking through the house, searching for me. I was sure they'd capture me and kill me or make me into a human slave. No matter what their plans might have been, the worst part was he thought of them taking me away from my house.
After a few minutes of coming dangerously close (but not close enough!), they'd always give up and leave, promising that they would come back again some other time. I'd pop up from behind the couch, pull the blanket off myself, breathe a heavy sigh, wipe my sweaty forehead, and give my mom a big hug.
Last night, in a bizarre throwback to my childhood, I had a dream that a reindeer was trying to get me. I was my present age. It was winter. I was at my grandma's house in suburban Detroit, where reindeer usually glow with electric persistence, are made of plastic and stand in people's front yards from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.
Looking out the kitchen window, I saw a reindeer trudging across the lawn to the front door. I couldn't tell if he was friendly or not, but he was sort of mangey and dirty, and it looked like his antlers had been sawed off.
A far friendlier-looking reindeer than the one in my dream.
I slammed the door and snapped it locked. He scratched half-heartedly at the storm door and loped away.
It occurred to me that he might try the side door and come in through the kitchen. My heart was racing. What could he want? What would he do if he got inside? I ran to the garage and got to the door just as the reindeer was charging toward me. I locked the door and leaned against it for reinforcement. He stoped short of ramming the door and put his eye up to the window. He was clearly very angry. I wondered if he had some sort of disease. And what did he want with me anyway?
"Open the door!" he demanded. "Let me in!" His breath fogged over the glass.
"No!" I shouted and ran back into the house, hoping he'd get bored and just leave me alone.

Rhinoderma är ett släkte av groddjur. Rhinoderma ingår enligt Catalogue of Life i familjen Cycloramphidae. Amphibian Species of the World förespråkar en annan taxonomi och listar Rhinoderma tillsammans med släktet Insuetophrynus i familjen Rhinodermatidae.

Arter:

 Darwins groda (Rhinoderma darwinii)
 Rhinoderma rufum

Arterna lever i tempererade skogar i Chile och västra Argentina. Liksom hos flera andra groddjur har hanar under parningstiden höga läten för att locka en hona till sig. Honan lägger sina ägg. Hanen befruktar äggen och bevakar de efteråt cirka 20 dagar tills grodynglen kläcks. Sedan tar hanen grodynglen i sin mun. Hos Rhinoderma rufum flyttas de till vattnet där resten av utvecklingen äger rum. Hanar av Darwins groda förvarar ynglen i ett säckformigt organ vid luftstrupen (samma organ som framkallar höga läten). Ungarna är efter 50 dagar mogna för ett liv i naturen men de är fortfarande små. Embryona utvecklas direkt till grodor och det finns ingen form med svans.

Q: Removing App Profile Pages - missing migration option Facebook announced that they are about to remove app profile pages and allowing to migrate existing likes to a "regular" facebook page.
From some reason, i do not have the migration option on the top of my app profile page as it supposed to be according to their post.
I made sure to open a page with the same app name and set its category to Brands & Products / App.
What am i missing? Is there a way to activate the migration from another place (rather than this banner)?

A: I think not all App will get it immediately.  I just have it today and have migrated my app profile page to a new page a created under Brands & Products / App.
Unfortunately, once I migrated, I don't have accessed to the old page and lost all my precious wall content... It had been a very active interaction channel between us and our fans....
Is there any channel we can feedback and vote to migrate our wall content as well?

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Bealls Home Outlet was?
Stephanie m. Nov 02 .
Great place to get cloths that are in style. After going to the mall looking for school cloths. My kid's and I wound up here, and they got name brand t-shirt's and jean's for less than half the price I would of paid for at the mall.
I made my first visit to this store a couple of weeks ago. They have excellent prices and several discount opportunities. They have a dot system, where depending on the color of the dot on the item you're purchasing it may qualify for a percentage off. Also they have Senior Discount days, and a frequent shopper card that offers and additional 20% off after making the required amount of purchases. The staff is very friendly and helpful and often suggestions on when to purchase to get get the best price.
Sina W. Aug 15 .
I have always shopped at bealls, and moving to FL from TX was a big chance to shop there anytime I wanted to. They have outlets here in FL and they are awesome. It's like shopping at Dillards but for half the price. You can find just about everything at this location. Small store, but good deals.
If you've been to or used Bealls Home Outlet, leave a review.


Why do unions oppose drug testing? Don't they care for safety?
The unions usually bang on about workplace safety. And they have a point mostly.
No one wants people to go to work and be put at risk of serious injury or worse.
Yet we constantly see unions opposing drug testing. Why?
A union has criticised plans to drug test workers for kava as discriminatory – but the company involved has categorically denied the claim.
In a statement yesterday, the First Union said Goodman Fielder's employees at the Quality Bakers site in Dunedin would be subject to testing for kava.
However, both the company and the Drug Detection Agency, which Goodman Fielder has contracted to carry out drug testing, have denied workers would be tested for kava.
"Classing kava as a drug will have a racist impact. It effectively means targeting Pasifika people," First Union organiser Jerome Mika said.
The roots of the kava plant are used to produce a drink which has a sedative effect. It is used throughout the Pacific and is known as 'ava in Samoa and 'awa in Hawaii.
Jerome Mika, the Labour candidate about to take a pasting from Judith Collins in Papakura has revealed why Labour is going to get wasted on Saturday.
They want to immobilise voters.
So why did he run in Mangere and Manukau East?
Labour has a mantra that John Key is "arrogant and out of touch".
I guess with the #TeamKey approach you might have a slight chance of making that stand up, but only a slight chance.
Jerome Mika is typical of many candidates, putting these sorts of messages on Facebook to chivvy along the sycophants.


We adore rustic, whimsical styling with a focus on beautiful colours, laid back fonts and different paper types. We also love working with textures so often use different paper types, twine, metallic stitching and hand applied pearls!
Our founder, Grace, has always loved designing and making products, which is why she studied for a degree in fashion design. After graduating, Grace started an Etsy shop selling cards as a hobby and found that her true passion was with designing paper based products!
The shop soon became too busy for Grace to manage alongside a full time job and she took the plunge to leave her day job as a knitwear designer in 2013 to work on norma&dorothy full time. In just 18 months we have grown from Grace working by herself, to 11 employees in the heart of Manchester's city centre!
We believe our values are what defines us; always striving for high quality whether that be with the designs we create, the hand-made product or customer service, creating beautifully hand-crafted items and giving our customers a hassle free experience! We think about every detail from the card stock we use to packaging to ensure every customer we work with loves their wedding stationery.
Couples looking for stationery that truly reflects the look and feel of their special day. We can alter colours and fonts of most of our range which can completely change the overall impression of the wedding day, and we love seeing pretty colour combinations.
We love being able to spend everyday working with couples all over the world on exciting projects. The whole process is made even better when we receive a thank you email or card once they have received their parcel to tell us they love the stationery!
Our favourite weddings are when we have worked with a couple from Save the Dates right through to the On The Day pieces and thank you cards. It gives us the chance to build a wonderful relationship with the couple. It is wonderful when a couple sends us some photos of the big day and how everything that has been planned for so long has come together!
As an online business, we love attending national wedding shows as it gives us the chance to see couples first reaction's to our products! That kind of interaction isn't there when working with couple's online. Our products tend to excite most Brides (and Grooms!) as we offer stationery that ticks a lot of their boxes; rustic, high quality and super pretty! Our customers often tell us that they spent a long time trying to find the right stationery to reflect their wedding until they spot ours … and that makes us very happy!
We would love to continue growing the business by developing new and exciting wedding products, as well as paper products for different occasions, such as birthdays and Christmas. Our office is full of creative people and we are very excited to see where norma&dorothy will be within the next 12 months!
Such beautiful products, I must check them out!

JMSC ABC News on Campus Stories On Air
April 8: Talk – From Earthquake to Nuclear Crisis: How the International News Media Covered the Disasters in Japan
Filmmaker Ruby Yang Talks Environmental Documentaries, Animation and Illegal Downloads
The Academy Award winning film-maker, Ruby Yang, showed a special screening of her latest documentary, The Warriors of Qiugang, at HKU on March 30.
Ruby Yang talking to JMSC
The documentary follows the story of villagers from Quigang village, Anhui Province fighting to close down a factory that is polluting their air, land and water.
The film spans five years in which the villagers battle to rid their community of the company responsible for the pollution.
The film, which is both powerful and inspiring, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject 2010. It was directed by Ruby Yang and produced by Thomas Lennon, who together won an Oscar in 2006 for their documentary, The Blood of Yingzhou District.
JMSC Visiting Associate Professor and documentary filmmaker, Nancy Tong, introduced Ruby Yang to a packed auditorium. She said Yang was born and raised in Hong Kong, moved to San Francisco, where she made a name for herself as a film-maker, and then upped sticks to go to Beijing in 2004, in order to make documentaries about China with a social conscience.
"This film is very important and has a huge impact on environmental issues in China," said Tong.
After the screening, Yang answered a wide range of questions from the floor, including one from the JMSC's Director of Broadcasting Programme, Jim Laurie. Laurie questioned Yang's use of animation in the film.
"Because we were talking about an era in the 1970s, I could have used archive footage, but I wanted to use animation of a 1970s woodcraft style," said Yang. "And for the protest scenes, I used animation because I didn't want to zero in on any individuals starting fights."
When asked how many people can actually see this film in China, Yang responded that environmental groups had picked up on the video and are using it as a tool for activism. Interestingly, she also said that illegal downloads of the film – something most filmmakers disapprove of – have really helped get the message across in China.
Yang added that the Oscar nomination had put pressure on the factory to clean up its act by highlighting the problem.
Doreen Weisenhaus, an Associate Professor at the JMSC and Director of the Media Law Project, asked what themes link Yang's documentaries. Yang, whose subjects have also included children and AIDS and homosexuality in China, replied that she likes to study modern China and how it deals with that modernity.
She revealed that she has not yet decided on the subject of her next film, but knows it will be about "someone with a social conscience" and about "building a civil society in China".
"It's a great time to be making documentaries right now in China," Yang said. "China's changing so quickly and there are so many subjects to cover."

Arizona Music Historian John Dixon Is Hosting a Record Sale This Weekend in Scottsdale
Allen Stone on the Magic of Live Music, Recording In Sweden and Staying Humble
K.C. Libman
| Interviews |
K.C. Libman | March 29, 2014 | 9:00am
Atypicality goes one of the two ways in the music industry: Either you're left of center enough to fail or left of center enough to resonate with listeners. In the case of Allen Stone, the latter rang true. For the 26-year-old Northwest soul-leaning sensation, picking an alternative path was the only way he was ever going to make it, and finding national success while still unsigned allowed him to develop a modus operandi that kept the creative control in his corner regardless of his label situation. Now that he's landed on Capitol Records, however, he's happy to have the backing but still executes the executive decisions about his music.
"[On] the last record a lot of major labels wanted to get on board and I held them off because I didn't feel like it was the right time for me to jump," Stone says. "Nowadays, good music rises to the top more than ever. Obviously, there's big machines that get behind you and make that rise and ascension quicker, but it's a better time now than ever to be an artist. Getting word out now about your art is increasingly easier than it's even been."
Word spread about Stone's music like a wildfire, landing him slots on The Ellen Show and Conan O'Brian early on in his career. Maybe it's the youth that he seems to unwittingly inject into his sound or maybe it's the old-soul vibe to his lyricism, but there's something timeless and relative about his sound. Stone works hard to make sure there's no disparity between his studio material and his stage presence -- nothing less could be expected for a guy often labeled as one of those rare "pitch perfect" musicians. That live sound sentiment extends to Stone's personal philosophy on consuming music as well.
"I won't support an artist until I see them live, and I won't listen to their records before I see them live because if they can't compel me live, they don't deserve a chance to compel me on a record," he says. "That's why the majority of the content I've ever uploaded is all live because that's the only thing that matters anymore -- real live music. You can go in and make Lindsay Lohan sound like a singer and that girl is not a singer. You can do anything in the studio nowadays."
Four Live and Virtual Concerts to Check Out This Weekend
