Of all the dispensaries in Glenwood Springs, Parachute and other areas, there's only one place to find the highest quality strains of organic bud.
There are a growing number of options for recreational dispensaries in Glenwood Springs, Parachute, DeBeque and other areas on the Western Slope, but there is only one place to find some of the highest quality strains of organic bud. At High Q, we pride ourselves on working closely with some of the top marijuana growers in the state of Colorado. Much of the top shelf bud we offer is 100% organic and available exclusively at High Q.
We make sure we offer only the highest quality weed to our customers. Some of the larger Glenwood Springs dispensaries may offer the same strain, but at High Q you can be certain that the strictest growing practices have been followed while producing our organic strains of bud, followed by a long cure process that results in a superior flower. It's as simple as that.
Is it worth the drive when there are other dispensaries here in Glenwood Springs?
If you ask us, of course it's worth the drive to Silt. Not only will you find a larger selection of bud, edibles, concentrates, and topicals than any other dispensary in Glenwood Springs or the surrounding area, but the quality is sure to stand out. Take the lid off one of our jars of organic top shelf bud and you'll immediately notice the difference. There's a strong aroma that hits you immediately – a scent that is refined, yet complex in the subtle nuances of the well-preserved terpene profiles. Take some home, light one up, and experience the difference of 100% organic marijuana.
Experience the difference of 100% Organic Top Shelf and Premium Marijuana!

you may consider grammer unnecessary,yet it's everywhere in yiourmind among your words.
Grammar is necessary to express him/herself correctly. In fact, to communicate in any language we need to form expressions by combining words according to its grammar rules. A word is in its turn just a combination of letters that has a sense according to the dictionary. Therefore, like we cannot obtain a word that has a sense by combining any set of letters, we cannot as well obtain a significant expression by combining words in any manner we want.
It is true that people can usually understand what we mean eventhough we don't respect grammar; but this is not a proof of our ability to express correctly, it is a proof of the intelligence of others, who are able to deduce what we mean from our erroneous expressions (like those of this message, which, I'm sure, won't prevent you of understanding what I would like to express!).

I agree. Grammar is very important in English. This is basic to have clear understanding in English.
But, I find it is difficult to learn and understanding Grammar . I alway make mistake in grammar . Then, it is always make a receiver will not understand , confuse or misunderstanding what I talk .
On the other hand , it is comfortable and easy to understand when I see a goods essay in which is correct grammer .
Could you advise how to learn grammer and beginning interesting? Thanks.
grammar is quite essential in my idea. if you have to learn the language that isn't your native language, don't avoid it.
it doesn't matter if you just want to speak, but if you have to write it is a big deal.
learn and try to use it, you will find it is a piece of cake, believe me.
I don't think so. Grammar is a great thing. Grammar mistakes lead to misunderstanding. but I don't watn to talk about grammar I want to talk about everything you like. my E-mail kozlov1979@mail.ru but most interesting is car tuning. Glad to hear from anybody.
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but you cannot speak, write or fully understand English without a good grasp of grammar.
I always tell my students that if you think of vocabulary as the bricks of a language, grammar is the mortar that holds it all together and helps you build structures that won't fall down around your ears.
Some grammatical mistakes are not a problem but others can be disastrous.
"I forgot feeding the dog."
"I forgot to feed the dog."
One of these sentences is disastrous for the dog. But which one?
You have right.I would like to speak together more .Can you give me your e-mail?
I would like to know more about your country and your religion.
No wonder... Birds of a feather flock together.
Grammar IS necessary - take it or leave it.
Otherwise, I mean what I say would equal I say what I mean.
Seems you mean to say you don't mean to say much. In this case just a smile will tell everything. No need to beat about the bush... er... Wouldn't it be a stupid smile?.. :?
OK. Every language consists of three elements: grammer, lexic and sounds. And you should not neglect any of these element, otherwise you will be understood incorrectly. Of course, you can help yourself with mimicry and gestures, but there are different situation, for example, when you ringing somebody up. That`s why I strongy recommend you to study English grammer properly. And you will be always equal to the occasion.
well hi every one .
Ithink that grammar is important to learn the language , but only if we concedered the age of our pupils .
but as a teacher I think that the less we give ciriculam the more they can understand the language . Beside we can give more activiteis and explinations for them .
oh, one more thing i discovered that my pupils like to learn through plying .
I have read most of your opinions and I find them fairly interesting as they show the different ways to approach the learning of a foreing language.
I think that there is no one single or correct answer to that question. All depends we need the language for: children just need some words to supply their immediate necessities, no matter about countability. On the other hand, unlucky you if you don't know the difference between verb tenses in your FCE!
We should discuss more specially about English grammar !
Hi Iam new member of this forum . I have been facing many problem with english . so Iam very impressed on this topic . Grammer is necessary to understand language .we cannot go ahaed in any language without grammer. english isnot exception from that . Iam searching good way to know english grammer ,give me good advice whatever you can do .
I believe that grammar is important, because it encodes meaning and thus promotes understanding. Well, I can't speak for all of you, but when someone learns a foreign language, his/her goal over time is usually that the grammatical system of the language becomes "internalized". That is, the learner's brain correctly - or at least somewhat correctly - and subconsciously forms words and combines those words into sentences as they quickly rush out of the learner's mouth. Know what I mean?
Yeah I know, acquiring this ability takes time, but don't give up!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I DO NOT understand what you're trying to say. It's really confusing. Are you trying to say that we don't need to learn grammar since kids don't learn grammar and they can talk? If this is what you're trying to say, can I ask you that you can see the difference between us and kids? We're not kids. We don't have to talk like kids. Besides, the difference between an educated person and an uneducated person is the way that person talks or writes. If you're in college and you talk or write like a 6 year-old kid, do you ever think of which way people will look at you? Studying is necessary and it doesn't matter what we should study for.
You are the typical posh who thinks that speaking posh English is the best.

"either you don't do it or do it right" applies for everything--not necessary English.
Grammer is necessary and useful.
Before I can speak English, I have the same feeling as others that grammer is useless,because I still can not open my mouth to speak English,however,I had got high marks in every examination. Now,I can communicate with others in English easily,the more I speak, the more I feel the importance of grammer.
When we speak English, it can be divided into three stages.The first is to greet with people,which is the basic and simple stage.The second is to discuss and the third is to debate,obviously,the latter two stages are more difficult and require more skills including the deep understanding of basic language knowledge,which is grammer. Suppose you are discussing or debating with your opposite,even if you make a small mistake in grammer,it can be the achilles' heel which the opposite take advantage of and attack you with. Any hope of your winning,therefore, will reduce to ashes. So is when you are making presentations and being interviewed and so on.
Grammer is not very important,which is applied in such situation that we learn to speak English.When we start to speak English,we are instructed not to bear much grammer knowledge in our mind and not to mind making grammer mistakes,otherwise it is very difficult to make progress.
Besides,a suggestion is made to measure the level of mastering grammer that if you can not explain the grammer points in an logical way in English,you can not say you have grasped it.

What you have said is concise and to the point.You can combine you precious thoughts with good grammer knowledge very well,It is also a proof that grammer is necessary and important to express any of our ideas,if we can not present them in an right and suitable way which should follows the basic grammer rules,How can we be understood?How can I appreciate you?
Thank you for the good explanation.
Sometimes grammer exercises really made me sick,there are too many grammers in English,who create this languge? Actually,I have enough ability to tough it out!If you catch every grains of it,you will be baffled.
Look throughout the English grammer,you will find that some of them do not obey the rules or laws all the time.And I think,the english speaking countries has the authorities to control their languge,and we should follow what they did.For example,the popular word used by many of us,"wanna" maybe comes from other counry nation in the first place,but then obsorbed into English later on.We all know that "wanna" means "want to",but when we use it,we often put a verb just after it.That's the obvious differnce to other verbs.
googl wrote: I think that grammar is very important. Every language has got many rules. And English (unlike my native language) has got VERY easy rules. .
I think English is the easiest language to learn.It aslo has more original words than any other language. That is why it became a global language.
googl wrote: Polish. Do you know any natural language easier than English?
I don't think there is such an easy language to learn. If not, we wouldn't say learning takes time. A language or something you wanna learn will be easy for you. It will be easy for you and hard for those who don't have enough passion in the thing they're forced to do. So, the bottom line is things will be easy for those who have enough passion to do things they wanna do.
Grammar is rule not truth.It is made,not found.so take it easy.
Well, I think grammar is important though its difficult to learn and memorise all rules and regulations along with exceptions. When ever I read any thing which is perfect grammatically it is so easy to understand, this is the difference of grammar. I believe most of the English learners including me try to translate their native language into English which is not correct, English has its own pattern, i am no more following local authors books for English language because they have their own mixed version which is harmful for a learner. Regular efforts are required to master in grammar, one should never forget that till death we are learners, so don't worry, when ever what ever you come across to something new try to learn it.
Share Your Ideas to Make Life More Beautifull !
Without looking others posts I will have to say that I agree partly.If a teacher focuses on grammar too much and doesnt give importance to other components such as speaking and listening,it becomes waste of time.But in order to speak accuretely a person should know grammar of the language he or she wants to speak.
It highly depends on how it's taught and the learning strategies of every student. In my case, I can't live without grammar issues in class. I don't know why; it's somehow-somewhere and I-don't-know-what that attracts me in Grammar... maybe it's the best for very structural minds... Like mine!
If you don't have much to say you don't have to learn grammar. And a few words will suffice. It certainly depends on personal ambitions.
Then again, why do you need a language you don't have anything to say in?
There are passive speakers, so to say, who enjoy listening and don't want to bother others with their personal interpretations and opinions concerning the heard. But how can they be sure they understand the said correctly? Practice shows they can, and they usually are. The less you know the more you are ignorant and arrogant.
GiddyGad wrote: The less you know the more you are ignorant and arrogant.
Sometimes, an individual knows too much and still is being an ignorant or arrogant. It could happen, don't you think?
It deponds on which level of English speaker you like to be. Only being a speaker, the grammar might not be so necessary.
To me, I'd like my English to be perfect. You must learn it without choice.
It is absolutely wrong, that the Grammer is a waste of time, because grammer shows us how to present the PAST , PRESENT and FUTURE, if you dont know the grammer exactly how you will specify something about time. and even the grammer makes your words sophisticated. So everyone talks should be with manners . right.
simplyblessedwithlove wrote: Sometimes, an individual knows too much and still is... ignorant or arrogant. It could happen, don't you think?
This I could not disagree with, Blessed. You never know too much. Again, if one says that something (s)he doesn't know and feels boring to learn is unimportant, isn't it arrogance?
We all are unaware of many things and, therefore, ignorant - it's true and goes without saying. But can you be arrogant in what you know well enough?

Oh yes, definitely. Arrogance, ignorance or confidence is a state of mind showing through attitude. It depends on how much one thinks he/she knows about things and the way he/she's showing what he/she knows. Right?
Like people who think they don't need to learn English grammar for whatever reason and it's not important are ignorants to me. People who think they should not learn English grammar because their English is good enough are arrogants to me. And people who think they should know learn more English grammar although they've known something about it and their English are quite good are confidents to me.
For a native, grammer isn't so important, because he naturally know how to express himself clearly in english, but for a non-native speaker, grammer is so important!
If you don't have a good sense about how to use proper grammer.The thing you speak scattered.Teacher or Friends maybe would think it's ok, it takes time.But what if you do business with others?People would think you are unprofessional and they are tend to build up a barrier between you and them and feel reluctant to accept you.
What's more,if you don't spend time on leanring grammar,you could never speak as native and natural as you hope to be.
I said so cause i have a friend who learnt almost 10 years of english but still couldn't speak out a whole correct sentence.

I don't think so. It is also very important for a native speaker, cause he was not only just speaking to others. When he was writing or making a speech, a good grammar is necessary.
If we, non-native speakers just wanted to talk in English, grammar wasn't so important too.

The Absence Of Mechanism Of A Budgetary Allocation Is A Major Challenge For The MoH
By Volodymyr Lytvynenkoon December 30, 2019 in Business
How procurement is working, what are the challenges in this area and what methods are being used to determine their effectiveness- we are discussing with iMoRe expert Yaroslav Kudlatskyi.
Yaroslav Kudlatskyi, head of the Health Research Center at the Kyiv School of Economics, regularly assesses the progress of reforms in Ukraine within the framework of the Index for Monitoring Reforms (iMoRe) project.
Previous interview with Dmytro Naumenko, an analyst at Ukrainian Center for European Policy NGO, is available at the link.
How procurements are made at the MOH, of which stages the procurement cycle of the procurement of medicines and medicine products (devices) consist?
Procurements are divided by level. There are hospitals that can held tenders on Prozorro and purchase the drugs that are on the national medicines list. The fundf for this goes to hospitals through a subventions from the state budget. There are separately defined areas – nosology, where procurements are carried out by international organizations. The Ministry of Health annually prepares a draft budget with approximate estimates of the drugs it plans to purchase. Then, when the budget estimates are already known, the MoH collects the needs for medicines and medical devices in each region and hospital.
The hospital head manager submits these calculations using formulas to the Regional Health Department, which in turn aggregates the information and submits it to the MOH. Then, the needs calculations are aggregated at the central level and a technical task is created, which is transmitted to international organizations. The technical task includes the name of the medicine (INN), the dosage, the drug release form, the quantity and other parameters relevant to the purchase. Thereafter, international organizations conduct tendering procedures in open markets. After the tender, the medicines are delivered to Ukraine and transported according to applications prepared by hospitals in the regions.
The list of medicines and medical products to be purchased is being formulated by a group of experts in the line of work at the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health not only purchases medicines but also medical products, such as endoprosthesis, products for cardiovascular disease (stents), tools for surgery, and more.
The MOH website has a "Medicine Procurement" section, and each patient can visit and check what medicines delivered to what region and in which hospital hey should be available.
If to consider such a demanded drug as insulin – how is it procured?
Insulin goes through a reimbursement program – that is, through the purchase (dispensing) of insulin from pharmacies. The question is what price the MOH can recover. There are many manufacturers of insulin, and each has a different price. The special formula determines the maximum price that can be reimbursed – including in comparison to prices in other countries (so-called price referencing).
In practice, it works this way: a patient who needs insulin comes to his doctor, receives a prescription, goes to a pharmacy that participate in the reimbursement program, gives a prescription. Here he has two options: choose basic insulin for free or more expensive, paying the difference of the cost of basic insulin out-of-pocket.
The state allocates funds for this kind of reimbursement, and these funds are evenly distributed across regions and among patients receiving insulin. The complete list of medications is in the description of the "Affordable Medicines" program and the reference price registry – the patient can either receive these medicines for free or pay the difference for the medicines he wants to buy.
From the end of 2015, all Ministry of Health procurement went through international organizations. According to experts, as a result, a considerable amount of money was managed to save . In 2018, SE "Medical Procurement of Ukraine" was created. Why was it decided to create own procurement body? Wasn't it easier (and better) to continue to cooperate with international organizations?
Comparing the procurement of MoH (tender committees 2011-2013) with international organizations, it can be said that the procedure has become more open and transparent not only for business but also for society. There are many successful cases – but it is necessary to comprehensively analyze purchases during this period, since procurement efficiency is not only about cost savings, but also timeliness of deliveries, quality of purchased drugs, other factors.
International organizations have essentially fulfilled a short-term function – to the point where Ukraine as a state and the MoH as the central executive power will be able to purchase medicines on its own. The changes that were made to the law on public procurement were constantly continued because there were so many problems and they could not be solved in a short time. But the creation of the central procurement agency – State Enterprise Agency on Medical Procurement of Ukraine – became a symbol of willingness to buy medicines on their own.
Indeed, international organizations have the advantages of purchasing certain types of medicines, such as vaccines, simply because of the limited nature of this market. This is a long-term process, with some countries placing vaccine orders five years before the estimated date of consumption of these vaccines. It may make sense to continue purchasing some medicines through international organizations.
But we have other areas where there is a lot of competition and it makes sense to procure and build this capacity in Ukraine on our own. This is confirmed by the first purchases made by SE "Agency on Medical procurement of Ukraine". For example, the drug Valaciclovir was procured 72% cheaper compared to purchases by other medical institutions, the drug Fluconazole – cheaper by 77%, the drug Azithromycin was procured 5 times cheaper.
About a year ago, as part of an expert group, you began to develop methodologies that can help to identify patients' needs for medicines and medical products purchased by the state. Tell us about the project.
We helped the MoH to organize the procurement process and worked on the first phase of procurement – identifying the need for medicines.
Before conducting any bidding, you need to know how much should be purchased and where to it should be delivered. When we started work in 2018, we saw a lot of old regulatory documentation with formulas without justification. We started this process. How exactly? For example, there was a formula for calculating that patient A weighing 60 kg needed to buy drug B at a dose of 1.5 μg per 1 kg of body weight. Our task was to verify this calculation, to check whether such a patient with such weight really needed this dosage of the medicine.
We used international health care protocols in our work, consulted with experts, and other independent consultants. Many health care providers tried to overstate the need for medicine because they were constantly coming late – relatively speaking, saying that it was needed not 5 pills, as calculated and confirmed by international protocols, but 10. In this way they were trying to hedge against possible delays in deliveries.
With new techniques it is possible to calculate the need for each patient, taking into account all the clinical features of the patients, which will better meet the patient's need. The MoH also received a tool for verifying data from regions, which will also have a positive impact on the efficiency of the procurement process. Here is an example. Through statistical analysis, we found that in some areas the distribution of patients by weight was abnormal. According to the data, anomalously many people aged 14-18 were obese. Following such analysis, the MoH may contact the regions to clarify the information on these patients, to check whether these patients exist and whether they actually require such a number of drugs.
As of the end of August 2019, the MoH has implemented 16 methodologies that we have developed. And by these new methodologies the MOH has collected and verified patients' needs for 2019. The total budget of the programs amounted to UAH 1 billion, and due to the verification, the total order volume was optimized by UAH 102 million, which is 10% of the total budget of these programs.
What is the biggest challenge you can name for medical procurement in Ukraine?
A major problem with procurement is that there are no clearly defined criteria and a mechanism for allocating budgetary funds – this is a major challenge for the MoH in the context of limited funding. Unfortunately, no mechanism has been discovered in all the years of independence. Cerrtain institutions that can prepare calculations for such distribution models are only being created in Ukraine.
One such model could be the economic justification for prioritizing health care costs and interventions (reducing morbidity, extending life expectancy) based on DALY and QALY indicators.
QALY (quality adjusted life years) shows how much costs one year of a patient's quality life when using different medicines, medical devices, or treatment technologies.
DALY (disability-adjusted life years) shows how many years of healthy living a patient loses. This indicator allows to compare the quality of treatment for a particular disease in different countries. The ministry as a policymaker must determine how much and how QALY should be covered. For example, the cost of a year for patients with cancer may be several times higher than for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Today was a really good day to be a skipper. I got to drive the boat a lot and not like yesterday that the skipper didn't get to drive so much. Today we drove to Marina Cay and when we got to the port we did a lot of loops and then we joined a raft. I think that we did a pretty good job on doing that. I really like to drive the boat and at the beginning of the trip I thought that driving the boat would be harder than it really is. Catie dice que puedo escribir en espanol pero me lo dijo cuando estaba terminando de escribir lo que esta en ingles, asi que por eso estoy escribiendo esto. Hoy fuimos a Marina Cay y creo que fue un buen dia para ser skipper.

Republican Senator John Kennedy Gets Salty Over Democrats' Request for Trump's Taxes
On Thursday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) seemed equivocal on the issue of Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee requesting the Internal Revenue Service turn over President Trump's taxes. "I think all things being equal, I would like to see the president's taxes," Kennedy told CNN's Alisyn Camerota.
Fast-forward 24 hours, and Kennedy is a bit more salty about the matter.
The senator was being interviewed by Jake Tapper on CNN's The Lead Friday afternoon when news broke that Trump's attorneys have sent a letter to the Treasury Department, which oversees the IRS, pushing back on the request from Rep. Richard Neal, the Democratic chairman of Ways and Means. Trump's lawyers told the Treasury Department that the request from Neal was entirely political, geared towards harassing Trump, and that Neal has no "legitimate" need to see the returns.
Tapper then asked Kennedy to comment on the news. The Louisiana senator squinted into the camera and said, "Jake, I will be very blunt."
He continued, "Chairman Neal, powerful man…I know he's an adult, but I don't think he's like a real adult. He says that he needs Trump's tax returns. He says it's policy, not politics. He has said…that the reason he needs them is that he needs to determine how well the IRS is auditing taxpayers. I can't believe he really thinks the American people are going to fall for that. It must really suck to be that dumb."
That is a far cry from Thursday, when he told Camerota he "was interested in what the American people think. They'll draw their own conclusions" about the matter.
But on Friday, Kennedy ranted, accusing Neal of wanting to "screw" President Trump and acting in bad faith in requesting the returns.
Tapper closed out on the topic by inviting Neal to come on the show anytime to defend himself.

"Arnie designed half of the 5.3, but this is the first of the series that is entirely my design," adds Koh. "A lot of customers have been coming back saying they want a little more this, a little more that. So I've gone back to the four woofers of the original Genesis V. Even though four is not that many more than three, customers always thought four was better, so I've gone back to four woofers."
Koh has also split the cabinet into three distinct chambers to control resonances "because in each frequency spectrum they are different, so I use different materials and then tune them each for their range." He adds that speakers are a five-way design with tweeters and other drivers on both the front and back of the cabinets.
The woofers are servo-controlled 8" long-throw aluminum cone drivers, powered by a built-in amplifier. "This means you can use almost any amplifier to power the speaker since it doesn't have to power the woofers."

Q: is there a #define for which active SDK you are compiling for in the iPhone SDK? I'd like to be able to tell at compile time if I'm compiling for iPhone SDK 2.x or 3.x, so I can leave out some bits (e.g. MapKit, GameKit) if need be. Currently I'm doing this using a custom #define. I'm wondering if there is a way of detecting this automatically from the active SDK? I know about TARGET_OS_IPHONE and TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR, and TargetConditionals.h, but could not find anything related to the  active SDK.

A: Have a look at Availability.h (and AvailabilityInternal.h). There's __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED defined there as well as constants for SDK version.

A: Martijn is correct: __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED is the deployment target. The current base SDK is __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_REQUIRED.
If you're trying to use this to work out which features are available on the device that your code is running on though, you can't do this using compile-time macros, you need to use runtime feature detection.

A: If you want to check if a specific (or later) version of the SDK is being used, there are some defines you can check for.
For example, if you had some code that you only wanted to compile in only if the iOS 6.0 or later SDK was being used, you could use this:
#ifdef __IPHONE_6_0
    // Some iOS 6 code
#endif

Q: npm package for vuex module give error after dispatching I've just made an npm package as a module for my vuex. after a long try finally, I could install it and mix it with my vuex. using this link
I console log my store and the action section contain my npm package luckily. but when I want to dispatch it gives me an error :(
use it in my app like :
this.$store.dispatch('orderiomApiPackageAuth/auth')

send me error:
[vuex] unknown action type: orderiomApiPackageAuth/auth

in my module.js:
import axios from "axios";

const state ={
    restaurantInfo: {},
    imprint: null
};

const mutations = {
    setRestaurantInfo(state, restaurantInfo) {
        state.restaurantInfo = restaurantInfo
    },
    setImprint(state, imprint) {
        state.imprint = imprint
    }
};

const actions = { //some action here }
export default {
    namespaced: true,
    state,
    mutations,
    actions
};

in my index.js for package:
import myModule from '/.module.js'

function install(Vue, options ={}) {
  if (!options.store) console.log('Please provide a store!!')

  options.store.registerModule('desiredName', myModule )
}

export default {
  install
}

and use it in my main.js in the project:
import myPackage from 'myPackage'
import store from './store'

Vue.use(myPackage, { store })

I console.log(this.$store) and I realize that the action section contains my modules. but I have a problem with dispatch them.
I took a snapshot from my console share it here :

any help? :(


Mighty bathrobe exist in any home. They became excellent assistants in domestic chores and the faithful companions of leisure hours.
The main criterion for choosing a gown fabric, from which it is sewed. Top coats are made from natural terry-cloth. Strongly not recommended to use gowns, made of synthetic materials. These gowns are comfortable and look great as long as hanging on a hanger.
Terry cloth has called hinge, because it consists of a large number of loops, which form her nap. The type and size of the loops depends on the density obtained by terry material, its practicality.
The hinges on the terry cloth can be simple and twisted. A simple loop consists of one, two or more threads. This will determine the density of the material, its fluffiness. This type of terry cloth are usually quickly loses its quality and appeal.
Twisted loops on terry cloth can be single, double or triple. Products made of this material are long, but they require special care, as washing can make tough mahr.
For the manufacture of toweling is best Egyptian cotton. He gives the fabric more durable, but these tissues are remarkably easy. Wash only improve the quality of fabrics.

The discovery of a Yale University graduate student whose body was stuffed in the wall of a medical research building brought a painful end to the search for a woman who vanished days before she was to wed her college sweetheart.
Now, investigators appear to be closer to determining who killed 24-year-old Annie Le in a heavily secured building accessible only to students and university employees.
New Haven police officer Joe Avery, the department's spokesman, said police believe no other student is involved in the death, but would not respond to questions about the alleged involvement of others.
"We're not believing it's a random act, that's all I'm giving you right now," said Avery, who also denied reports Monday that police had a suspect in custody.

WHO IS EMMANUEL BAPTIST ?
To be a fellowship of believers who strive to have a growing and personal love relationship with God and who seek to bring others into that same relationship.
You can expect to find a welcoming, warm, and caring group of people who truly love the Lord, each other, and you!
If you are joining us for Bible study, you should plan to be here about 5 to 10 minutes prior to 9:00 AM. If you are joining us for worship, you should plan to be here shortly after 10:00 AM, especially if you have young preschoolers.
You will find that there is no official attire. You will see folks in jeans, slacks, dresses, suits, tennis shoes. People at Emmanuel dress for comfort, but with the intent not to dress so as to make others uncomfortable.
DO MY KIDS GO TO WORSHIP SERVICE WITH ME?
Yes they can. However, we believe the best option is for your children to participate in the age-appropriate programming provided just for them. We have a well-staffed nursery for babies to 2 or 3 years of age. For older preschoolers (age 4 through Kindergarten) and young school age children (grades 1 and 2) we have a children's worship service. They will participate with their parents in regular worship during the music, but will be dismissed with caring and prepared teachers for the remainder of the worship. They will have their own space where the programming is just for them. Children from grades 3 and up will participate in the regular worship with their parents.
Commitment - We believe everyone has to make a decision to follow Jesus which leads to commitment, concentration, and contentment.
Obedience - We believe that at the heart of our relationship with God is an obedient spirit. We believe it leads to God's blessings upon us.
Unity - We believe in unity not uniformity or agreeing on everything, but it is being one in spirit and purpose.
Relationships - We believe that relationships are life! Everyone needs someone. We believe Jesus puts us into His church to receive a blessing and to be a blessing.
Servanthood - We beleive Jesus modeled and taught the principle of servanthood. We believe greatness in the kingdom of God is achieved through Christ-like servanthood.
Edification - We believe that the goal of every Christian should be to grow up or mature in Christ. This happens through the environment of a body of believers encouraging and edifying one another.

Home Fitness Apps The 21 apps that you must check every morning
The 21 apps that you must check every morning
There have been lots of studies into what people do with their smart phone, and one of the more popular areas of research lies in what apps people open to check first in the morning. This research is fascinating because it gives a really core insight into the individual, and the nation at large.
Increasingly, the smart phone is the very first thing that people pick up in the morning, as well as being the last toy that they play with before bed. Research shows that the average person in the Western world now checks their smart phone over 100 times every single day. So what are the apps that keep compelling people back? Which apps are people compelled to open first thing in the morning? The below list focusses on the most popular apps that people reach for early in the day. Critically, these are also the most 'sticky' apps, meaning that they have stood the test of time, and that people continue to use them on a daily (or at least near-daily) basis. If you haven't downloaded them, perhaps now is a good time…
1) Facebook:
This one is no great surprise – it is the Worlds most popular website and its apps have taken it to an all new level. With over 1 billion active members, it is perhaps the ultimate example of the 'sticky app'. It's a sharing platform, but also an organiser to, where people arrange to meet friends, colleagues and increasingly, family. Facebook is so popular that it competes with Google for the right to be known as the internet to many.
2) Sleep apps:
Perhaps unsurprisingly, considering folk are still in bed whilst checking many of these apps, the large volume of sleep apps feature heavily. Applications like sleep cycle – click here to read our sleep cycle review – are now super popular. They utilise your smart phones accelerometer to measure your movements whilst you sleep, giving you an indication of sleep quality and duration. In the morning you get greeted to a statistics page, which gives you the full lowdown on how well you slept.
Twitter is another social media app that people feel compelled to check throughout the day. Twitter sees huge spikes in page load requests through its range of smart phone and tablet apps every morning, indicating its huge popularity as a source of news for many.
4) Pinterest
Pinterest takes some 'getting' but when people do, they are hooked. It's seen some bursts of huge growth, at one stage being the fastest growing social network in history. For those who are less familiar, Pinterest is the webs biggest pinboard where users 'pin' pictures, collect their thoughts, bookmark recipes and tips, or just generally go to get inspired. Its got a cult following in visual lead areas, including home design, fashion and cookery. For many, Pinterest features heavily in their morning app routine.
5) Pulse
RSS feeds are nothing new, in fact they're so old that Google just sandboxed its reader. Pulse is a little different though, as it turns the RSS stories into a more readable magazine format, allowing users to quickly scroll through the latest stories. A great way for many to quickly get their news headlines in the morning.
6) Skype
Sky sees a lot of usage all day every day, but it peaks in the mornings and evenings as people connect with family and friends. A quick chat, instant message or video call is the way that plenty of folk start their day it seems. A free way to make video calls is always going to be a recipe for a really sticky app.
7) Flixster
Flixster is a movie app, which makes it a strange app for any list of applications that are popular first thing in the morning. unsurprisingly though, its morning usage rates are far higher over the weekends, when people are taking it easy. Lazy Sunday morning movie anybody?
8) Around me
Around me, as the name suggests helps you to find a wealth of local amenities in your local area. It's a seriously sticky app, which is used multiple times a week by the majority of its core users. Much like Foursquare, it's a great social way to discover new stuff in your local area or a god send for the traveller looking for quick convience on the go.
9) Pocket
Pocket lets you save pages to read them later. It's a simple idea which is done really well by the team at Pocket. It's another popular morning app as it allows you to check in on the important stuff that you saved to read previously but as of yet havent had chance to get through.
10) eBay
eBay bargain hunters are prepared to snipe and be sniped 24/7, but many come to life in the mornings. Around 11 am is a popular time for e-commerce apps to see traffic spikes on weekdays, as people find a natural lull in their day as lunch approaches. eBay has had something of a second coming over the past year and a half, and remains a hugely popular web 1.0 service.
11) Tube map
Tube map is another popular morning app, as people look to plan their routes around the worlds great metropolitan cities. These apps are so useful, that it's really hard to remember how we used to get by without them. Pop open the app, punch in your to and from destinations and the best route is calculated in seconds. A true godsend for the tired morning commuter.
12) BBC News
The BBC service continues to gain in popularity, which has been helped by the fine range of smart phone apps that the corporation have put out. The news app is one of them, providing an intelligent and fast layout, users are able to quickly take in the days biggest stories. Clever aggregation of content, such as the daily football gossip column keep people coming back for more.
13) iHandy torch
The iHandy torch turns your phone into a torch… yup you guessed it. In darker mornings this can be a godsend, helping you to locate the light switch or to sneak off to the loo during the night…
14) Atomic web browser
The atomic web browser is perhaps the most popular cookie-less web browser, meaning it dumps all of your session history when you exit the application. This has plenty of potential applications, with one being gift buying (we'll leave the rest to your imagination, especially in the morning…). There are two versions available, a free version called atomic browser lite and an upgraded paid all which carries a richer array of features.
15) Tune in Radio
For many, the radio is the perfect background track to their morning. With access to over 50,000 radio stations, this one app has rendered the DAB radio as obsolete. It has the capability to be used as an alarm clock too, making it the perfect early morning radio app.
16) Instagram
The popular photo sharing app has recently had videos added to it, making it a much more multi-purpose app. With great user engagement and retention, many find this is the perfect way to start your day. Users utilise the hashtag in order to tag their pictures, and many use it to share filtered photos and other inspiring pieces of photography.
17) TED
TED is the clever persons app, featuring some inspirational talks by some fo the worlds leading authorities across a he range of topics. The short nature of the talks – most are less than 20 minutes, makes the content consumable in short chunks of time, such as the morning. A great way to start the day with some inspiration.
18) Amazon App
Amazon has taken the e-commerce world by storm, meaning that you only really need eBay and Amazon apps to have all of your shopping covered. Amazon, like its early internet colleague eBay sees a rush of traffic around the mid morning. With its simple one-click purchase allied against its huge range of shopping verticals, Amazon is able to attract shoppers all day, everyday. From groceries to DVDs with nearly everything in between, Amazon is the modern-day definition of a one-stop shop.
19) Flipboard
Like Pulse, Flipboard does a great job of adding life to an RSS feed or a social media account. Whilst not nearly as good on the iPhone as iPad (where it is simply supreme), Flipboard turns news stories into a beautiful digital magazine.
20) YouTube
YouTube is officially the worlds second biggest search engine, sitting just behind its parent company Google. With its vast array of both professional video content and user-generated, its increasingly the source of a whole array of video related content. Whether your after instructions or a funny video, YouTube has your base covered.
21) Gmail
In the smart phone age, we're never very far from our email. In fact for many, we're always to close to it. So much so, the Gmail app pops up amongst the most popular early morning apps. The simple app is the easiest way to access the most popular free email service. Naturally, the native email apps on iOS and Android see plenty of morning attention too.
So that's our list of the 21 apps that you must check every morning. Feel free to share any that you think we have missed in the comments, and we'll keep the list updated throughout the rest of 2013.

Today history was made, after years of Wimbledon style whinging the first EVER British Olympic medal on snow came from a snowboarder! Not a downhill skier in sight, stick that in your (half)pipe and smoke it Ski Sunday! Jenny Jones came away with a bronze and another win for the style camp, other rider's big-but-sketchy spins losing out to Jones' experience and pure steeze.
Jamie Anderson got the win and the gold with an astonishing run: a clean rail section into a cab 7 nose grab, corked switch backside 5 and a front 7. Women's snowboarding went up a notch today and Team 'Muurica grabbed gold in both the men's and women's slopestyle.
Finnish rider Enni Rukajarvi brought back a silver medal for the Moomins, also putting down two clean sevens in her run. She was stoked!
But again, the big news for all of us is Jenny Jones's bronze, a huge achievement for UK snowboarding; as the mainstream media keeps reminding us we have no real snow on our shores. This victory will hopefully put British snowsport's funding in good stead for the next four years at least!
Her score of 87.25 hammered home how the Olympic judges have been favouring style over and above everything else; Swiss Sina Candrian managed to stick the first ever front 1080 in a women's contest after an almost identical top section, but a scrappy landing with a hand down put her just .25 behind Jenny and a medal.
Many of the bigger names other than favourite Jamie Anderson stumbled in the finals, the judges again heavily penalising anything other than a perfect landing. Torah Bright will now have to focus on the other two events she's entered in in these games. However, at no point did it look like she wasn't having just the best time.
The fun was infectious, as Ed Leigh put it, 'it's a sport that starts with fun which just continues to grow throughout a whole career.' Anna Gasser even managed to hold a smile after looking like her coach had pushed her down the start ramp to early, the ice preventing her from getting back up to the top without going into Chuckle Brother mode.
'To Me, To You' – Gasser makes it to the top of the drop in, again.
She had a great shout of the top three, her huge underflips sending her to the bottom of the first jump, but she couldn't put down anything on the last.
Spencer O'Brien and Silje Nordenhal, both touted as potential medalists coming into Sochi were nowhere to be seen at the end of the day, both failing to get a full run in and ending up at the bottom of the table.
The biggest cheers of the day went up for Šárka Pančochová, able to make it to the bottom after catching a vicious edge, apparently knocking herself out and even cracking her helmet in half! Shark Bite looks like she's invincible!
Sarka Pancohova, down to eight lives now?
And then slopestyle was over at the Olympics, but not for the BBC. Coverage highlights for us would have to be Tim Warwood declaring Jenny has 'a face that could make bread rise,' and Ed Leigh bursting into tears almost as soon as the contest was over. Aimee Fuller also made a commentary appearance throughout the finals; future career for her at the Beeb?
After Jamie Nicholls' and Billy Morgan's successes yesterday, once again snowboarding looks like it has 'captured the hearts of the nation,' but we'll always know it's just a bit daft really, just a bunch of people sliding sideways on snow. Well done Jenny!
And she finds out she's won a medal, YES JENNY!


This data set reports phosphorus (P), carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) nutrient pool concentrations for forest soils and roots and P pool concentrations for forest floor litter, soil solutions, and microbial extracts. Soils samples were also extracted using the Hedley sequential fractionation method and the extracts analyzed for P. Nutrient pool concentrations are presented on an areal basis of 1 hectare to a depth of 10 cm, as calculated from soil bulk densities and respective pool biomass quantities. There is one comma-delimited ASCII file with this data set.
These measurements were made during a soil P addition fertilization experiment conducted at the km 83 site, Tapajos National Forest, Para, Brazil. Control and fertilized plots were established in both sandy loam and clay soils. Soil cores were collected every 4 months from August 1999 through April 2000 (McGroddy et al. 2008).
The investigator was McGroddy, Megan. You may contact McGroddy, Megan (mcgroddy@gmail.com).

Nutrient pool concentrations are presented on an areal basis of 1 hectare to a depth of 10 cm, as calculated from soil bulk densities and respective pool biomass quantities.
These measurements were made during a soil P addition fertilization experiment conducted at the km 83 site, Tapajos National Forest, Para, Brazil, between April 1999 and April 2000 (McGroddy et al. 2008). Control and fertilized plots were established in both sandy loam and clay soils. Soil cores were collected every 4 months from August 1999 through April 2000.
In addition to its role limiting primary productivity, work has suggested that soil P is linked to soil C sequestration capacity in highly weathered soils (Giardina et al., 2004; Li et al., 2006) although the relationship is not well understood. Our ability to predict the C fluxes in tropical forest ecosystems under changing climate conditions depends on our understanding of the interaction among soil P pools as well as the regulation of these pools and their relative size by soil environment.
For C and N analyses, acetanilide (10.36 % N and 71.09 % C) was used as a reference standard. Samples were analyzed in duplicate and rejection criterion was set at > 10% variance between duplicates.
Total P was determined after a H2O2 predigest and modified Kjeldhal digest of ground plant tissue (J.Tilley pers. comm.). NIST apple leaves were used as a reference standard and acheived a 98 (+/- 2) % recovery.
The total soil P values by summation of fractions was comparable to the measurements by the HF method (estimated method precision of + 25%), but regression analysis suggested that summing of fractions slightly overestimated total P at higher concentrations and underestimated P at lower concentrations.
The study was conducted in the Tapajos National Forest, 83 km south of Santarem, Para, Brazil (2 degrees 64 minutes S and 54 degrees 59 minutes W). For additional site description see Silver et al. (2000), Keller et al. (2001) and McGroddy et al. (2004). The planalto area south of Santarem is dominated by well-drained dystrophic yellow-brown lateritic Ultisols (Latossolo Amarelo textura muito argilosa in the Brazilian classification system), derived from the sandy-clayey lithography of the Alter do Chao formation (Cretaceous-Tertiary, Irions 1984). In addition to the dominant Ultisols, deep well drained sand/sandy-loam soils (Oxisols, Neossolos Quartzarenicos in the Brazilian soil classification system), developed from sandy sediments deposited during the Quaternary, occur in the same region (Rodrigues et al. 1991).
Plots for clay soils were located 250 m south of the southern boundary of the area marked for selective harvesting while the plots on sandy soils were located 350 m east of the eastern boundary of the same area. Three study blocks (12 x 100 m) were established on level terrain in each soil type within the Tapajos National Forest. Blocks were divided into five 12 x 20 m plots with fertilization addition and sampling restricted to the interior 4 x 20 m zone of the first, third and fifth plots, leaving the rest of the area as buffer. Plots were located and incubation cores installed in March 1999. Soil collections began in April 1999 and continued every 4 months afterwards through April 2000. Fertilizer was applied to one randomly selected treatment plot in each study block at three points over the course of the study period (May, August and December of 1999).
Root, microbial and soil P dynamics incubation cores were 10 cm high and 6 cm in diameter and were constructed from plastic canvas (Darice 7 count plastic canvas, 2 x 2 mm mesh). A total of 360 root incubation cores were constructed. We selected 216 cores for inorganic P leachate estimates; the bottom of these cores were fitted with 6 cm dia. silk resin bags containing 3g of Cl charged Biorad AG 85 anion exchange resin beads. For each core a soil sample was taken using a 6 cm diameter soil corer to a depth of 10 cm. Visible roots and large pieces of organic material were removed by hand and the homogenized soil from each sample was packed into a plastic canvas core thus maintaining representative bulk densities. At each of 15 randomly selected locations within the plot a set of three cores was installed to allow for fine root biomass measurements as well as soil and microbial biomass P measurements. All incubation cores (total of 180 sets or 540 cores) were installed in April 1999.
Cores were collected 4, 8, and 12 months after installation (in August and November 1999 and April 2000). At each time point, we collected 5 sets of incubation cores, we also collected 6 bulk soil cores and 5 forest floor samples from each treatment plot for further estimates of soil, root and litter layer P dynamics. Three of the bulk cores were analyzed for fine root biomass and nutrient content and the other three for bulk density and soil and microbial P pools.
Results of measurements of soil nutrient concentrations on 0.5g soil sample extracts are presented on an areal basis (1 hectare to 10 cm depth) calculated by multiplying concentrations by soil bulk density values measured at each plot and collection point using a standard volume soil corer (10 cm high and 6 cm in diameter).
Soil pH in 2 M KCl was determined on a 1:1 slurry of fresh soils from the initial soil collections done in April 1999. These analyzes were done in at the EMBRAPA analytical labs in Belem, PA, Brazil. All further analyses were done at the University of California, Berkeley. Soil texture was determined for one composite sample from each plot using the Bouyoucos hydrometer method (Gee and Bauder 1976). Total soil C and N were measured on air-dried, ground soils using a dry combustion- reduction method on a CE Instruments NC2500 soil analyzer (CE Instruments Lakewood NJ).
Soil P fractions were determined using the modified Hedley fractionation method (Tiessen and Moir 1993, Frizano et al. 2002) on air-dried soil samples. Phosphorus concentrations of the extractant solutions were determined (1) on a Lachat QuickChem 8000 Automated Ion Analyzer (Lachat Instruments Division of Zellweger Analytics, Inc. Milwaukee WI) or (2) for extractant solutions with strong color on a Thermo Jarrell Ash axial IRIS ICP-AES (Thermo Elemental, Franklin MA). Strong coloration of the inorganic extracts made colorimetric analyzes imprecise so only total pools are reported. The total soil P values by summation corresponded to the measurements by the hydrofluoric acid (HF) digestion method (estimated method precision of + 25%) but regression analysis suggested that summing of fractions slightly overestimated total P at higher concentrations and underestimated P at lower concentrations (McGroddy et al. 2008).
Anion exchange resin bags were stored frozen until they could be analyzed in 2001. Soil and organic matter were washed from the bags with distilled, deionized water, and each bag was extracted with 50 ml of a 0.5 M HCl solution. Bags with holes due to either root or soil fauna activity were re-weighed to get an accurate assessment of mass. Approximately 15 percent of the bags from the final collection point were colonized by root biomass. Plant or fungal uptake of P in the root colonized bags may have caused an underestimation of P captured by the resin and these bags were excluded from the analyzes. Orthophosphate in the extraction solution was determined using a molybdate blue analysis on a Lachat QuickChem 8000 Automated Ion Analyzer.
An index of microbial biomass P pools was determined using the chloroform fumigation direct extraction (CFDE) technique with acidified NH4F as the extraction solution (Brookes et al., 1982; Oberson et al., 1997) on fresh soils. Phosphorus concentrations in the extraction solutions were determined on Thermo Jarrell Ash axial IRIS ICP-AES. CDFE-P was calculated as the difference between the P extracted from the fumigated sample and that from the non-fumigated sample. All data are reported on a 105 degrees C dry weight basis.
Roots were washed through a series of three Nalgene sieves (sieve opening sizes: 2.0, 0.5 and 0.2 mm respectively) to remove soil particles and extraneous organic material. Fine roots (< 2mm diameter), considered most active in nutrient uptake, were sorted into live and dead categories based on appearance and tensile strength (Vogt and Persson 1991), dried at 65 degrees C and weighed to determine mass. Samples from replicate plots were bulked as necessary to provide enough tissue for nutrient analyzes, and ground in a Wiley mill. Total tissue C and N were measured on a CE Instruments NC2500 soil analyzer (CE Instruments Lakewood NJ). Fine root tissue P concentrations were determined on a Thermo Jarrell Ash axial IRIS ICP-AES after a modified Kjeldhal digest (Parkinson and Allen 1975). Recovery of P in NIST apple leaf standard averaged 92 + 1.6 %.
Forest floor phosphorus and soil bulk density, carbon and nitrogen forest floor samples were dried at 50 degrees C for 3 days and weighed to determine mass. A set of sub-samples was dried at 65 degrees C and a conversion factor was developed to calculate mass on a 65 degrees C dry weight basis. Samples were ground in a Wiley mill and passed through a 40 mesh. A 0.5 g sub-sample was ashed at 550 degrees C for 4 h in order to determine the inorganic composition of each sample. Total P concentrations were determined as described for the root tissue and reported on a 65 degree C dry weight and ash free basis. Bulk density was determined by measuring fresh weight of soil from 3 cores (282.6 cm3 volume, 0-10 cm depth) from each plot and a fresh to oven dry (105 degrees C) conversion developed from a subsample from each core. Air-dried soils from each collection were passed through a 2 mm sieve, ground, and analyzed for total C and N using the methods described for root tissue.

The Bradford Bulls have locked up top scorer Jared Walker for the upcoming season. Walker, 20, signed with Bradford in the 2014 Off-Season after spending three seasons in the NOJHL.
Jared was the Bulls top forward prior to a season ending shoulder injury in mid-December.
Walker had an outstanding 42 points (19g, 23a) in only 23 games. Jared was the Assistant Captain with the Bulls last season.
While Walker will continue to be an outstanding player on the ice, Jared's value as a leader in the Bulls change room is an intangible asset that Bulls management did not want to lose.
The Bulls will have a large core group of players returning from last year's roster. Stay tuned to www.bradfordbulls.ca for more player signings.

Ernesto Valverde is no longer FC Barcelona coach. AFP

On Monday evening, it was announced in an official statement by the club, that Ernesto Valverde is no longer the coach at FC Barcelona.
FC Barcelona have announced the sacking of Ernesto Valverde as their coach. He will leave the club after winning two La Liga trophies, One Copa del Rey and one SuperCup in two and a half seasons. Barca have not sacked a coach midway through the season since 2003. He will be replaced by Quique Setién from Cantabria, formerly of UD Las Palmas or Real Betis, among others.
Barcelona released an official statement on their social media, after managing to agree settlement terms with Valverde's agent. The statement is short, but filled with gratitude.
Setien will take his place, he is an admired coach who has brought so many achievements and footballing abundance to Barcelona. The position game, the attacking football, the possession... Setien has always advocated for importing this style wherever he has worked, not always with success or consensus. An avowed admirer of Johan Cruyff, his curriculum vitae is not that of an elite coach. Racing de Santander, Polideportivo Ejido, Equatorial Guinea National Team, CD Logroñés, CD Lugo, UD Las Palmas and Real Betis Balompie are the teams he has coached.
The new coach has signed a deal until 2022. Quique Setién is one of the most experienced coaches in Spanish Football and brings attractive football to any team he works. Let's see how he gets on now he can get down to work!
