Alabama pair head for overhaul with new owners
Pictured: Hampton Inn & Suites Athens.
Two Hilton Worldwide sites in Alabama, USA will now receive a facelift after being purchased by private investor Waramaug Hospitality.
Both Hilton Garden Inn Huntsville South/Redstone Arsenal and Hampton Inn & Suites Athens I-65/Huntsville Area will be overhauled to keep them up to date.
The 102-room Hilton Garden Inn features a large indoor pool, deck area, fitness centre with Precor equipment, business centre, and guest laundry. With 2,100 sq ft of meeting space, the property can accommodate small groups and offers a space most select-service hotels do not possess.
The 88-suite Hampton Inn & Suites features an indoor pool, fitness centre, business centre, and 650-sq ft of meeting space. The property is located three miles from Athens city centre, within walking distance from local restaurants.
Craig Nussbaum, executive vice president acquisitions at Waramaug Hospitality, outlined: “Both of these properties showed strong performance during the pandemic and fit well into our investment criteria. We are excited to enter the booming Huntsville market and are planning a comprehensive renovation of both assets to ensure they maintain their status as market leaders.”
Terrapin Hospitality will be managing both assets.
Other Hilton sites currently under refurbishment in the USA include the 81-room Hampton Inn & Suites Paso Robles in California, due for completion in Q3 2023, and fellow Californian property, the 196-key DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Doheny Beach set to conclude in the same quarter.

Ukraine: 100 civilians evacuated from besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol
As many as 1,00,000 people are believed to still be in blockaded Mariupol
Effort to evacuate civilians from the Azovstal steel plant in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol is underway.
As many as 1,00,000 people are believed to still be in blockaded Mariupol, including up to 1,000 civilians who were hunkered down with an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters beneath the Soviet-era steel plant the only part of the city not occupied by the Russians.
UN humanitarian spokesman Saviano Abreu said the operation to bring civilians out of the sprawling Azovstal steel plant was being carried out with the International Committee of the Red Cross and in coordination with Ukrainian and Russian officials.
The evacuation operation drew praise from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said more than 100 civilians primarily women and children were expected to arrive in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on Monday.
Meanwhile, Russian forces resumed shelling of a steel plant in the war-torn city of Mariupol immediately after the partial evacuation of civilians.
Ukrainian National Guard brigade commander Denys Shlega said on Sunday in a televised interview that at least one more round of evacuations is needed to clear civilians from the Azovstal steel mill and dozens of small children are inside bunkers below the industrial facilities.
The shelling began as soon as rescue crews ceased evacuating civilians from the plant, Shlega said.

After a crazy week and traveling to Memphis for work, I finally was able to cook last night. I had chicken in the fridge as well as leftover dill from the dip I made last weekend, so I looked for a recipe using both. I love my lemon dill chicken, but felt like something a little different. I found this recipe on the Food Network web site.
The recipe was for Chicken with Tarragon Cream Sauce, but it also noted that it would work with dill.
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon butter, divided
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- I added a pinch of turmeric
- 1 teaspoon peanut or canola oil (I used olive oil)
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided, plus more as needed
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 3 tablespoons finely minced fresh tarragon or dill, plus sprigs for garnish
- Combine lemon juice and cream in a small bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Mash 1 teaspoon flour and 1 teaspoon butter in another small bowl until a paste forms. Set both bowls aside.
- Dry chicken thoroughly with paper towels. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and white pepper.
- Dredge lightly in the remaining 1/2 cup flour (I seasoned the flour with white pepper, salt, black pepper, and turmeric), shaking off any excess.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken—do not crowd the pan. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
- Add 1/2 cup broth, reduce the heat and cover. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (Check to make sure the pan juices don’t run dry. If necessary, add more broth, a tablespoonful at a time, to prevent scorching.) Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and tent with foil.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup broth to the pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, add the reserved lemon cream and bring to a simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the reserved butter-flour paste, a few bits at a time, until the sauce coats the spoon, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in peas.
Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken to the pan along with tarragon (or dill). Turn to coat with the sauce and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Slice the chicken and serve with the sauce, garnished with sprigs of tarragon (or dill), if desired.
This was an ok dish - good enough for something quick and easy on a weeknight. It had a bit too much dill for my taste. The sauce was nice served over egg noodles.

Note: This post is going to go a bit long, so if you want avoid my mental issues leading up to my writing comments, skip down to my writing tips at the bottom.
A Little History
Over the last couple years, I've had a growing sense of impending doom. There wasn't anything that was going wrong, and yet, something was very wrong. I tried to figure out what I was worrying about, but nothing was there. The feelings worsened and I settled into a depression. I got on medication that sorta helped.
Then Christmas of 2012 happened.
Or rather, Christmas was grand, but after Christmas I ran out of my medication. I needed a refill, but first I needed to talk to my doctor about possibly upgrading my dosage. Unfortunately, because of the hustle and bustle from Christmas and New Year's Eve, I waited to get an appointment and was far over the edge before I got to my doctor.
By this time, my mind felt like it was unraveling. I was having crying spells where I would breakdown and cry for no good reason. I was afraid to get out of bed and just wanted to sleep all the time. Going to work was impressively hard, since a job brings its own added stress. With a series of illnesses, my world folded in.
During the build-up to this collapse, I listened to an episode of the Writing Snippets podcast where they interviewed author Robison Wells. Robison is very outspoken about his own struggles with mental health and as he talked, I recognized a lot of similar situations that I was experiencing. I learned two things:
- I'm not alone
- I needed professional help
Denial - Not Just a River in Egypt
I knew I needed help, but I began fighting myself. Why should I waste money on a shrink? If I was any kind of man, I should be able to shrug this off. If I just gave it some time, it'll go away. Maybe if I alternate my medication, things would get better. And really, as I see these words on the screen, I realize that, as of yesterday, I was still using these excuses.
Hell... I'm still using them right now.
But during a family meeting about my Dad's health, I had a complete meltdown. My siblings were trying to figure out where each of us could help with our parents in their declining years and my wife mentioned how she was just worried about keeping me together.
Suddenly I felt like my 'issues' were the center of attention and I became very embarrassed. I knew I needed help, but I didn't know how to... how to... talk about it. As I tried to explain, there were plenty of tears. In fact, at one point I was crying so hard that I thought it sounded like laughing. Or maybe it was cackling... sometimes it's hard to tell.
Well, I survived my meltdown and have an appointment to see my doctor. But I got thinking about how this uncomfortable experience could influence my writing. What had I learned? I thought about the nugget of wisdom, "write what you know" and 'evaluated' me.
Why did I cry?As writers, we present the world to our readers. Part of that is explaining our characters motivations and feelings. Any good story has conflict, or as author John Brown put it, a problem. John said, "Find the problem, find the story." I realized that this is how writers understand what a character is going through. We put ourselves mentally in horrible situations and think how we, or our characters, would respond in that situation. If we fail to communicate the emotion of a problem, we fail as a writer. Remember the famous quote by Robert Frost: "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader."
How did I feel as my family looked at me?
What was I doing with my hands?
What was my posture?
Where were my eyes looking?
How did my mood alter as family offered help/comfort/support?
Did I believe them?
Did I believe me?
Was I tired/cold/hungry?
Anyway, this morning I thought about what I was doing during that meltdown. For instance, for some reason I was pulling on my bangs and wondered why. It probably wasn't because I wanted my hair to grow. I realized I was using my hand/arm to cover my face. I guess I felt so vulnerable that I was trying to hide. Part of me was embarrassed that I unconsciously acted like that, but my writer's mind said, "Hey! What an awesome way to show vulnerability in a character. Save that in your writer's toolbox!"
And you know what? My writer's mind was right. With the right tweak, I can use that experience, or at the very least some of the details, in my writing. I guess sometimes, to understand the deeper motivations of our characters, we have to understand our own motivations.
So, even though I'm going through a really difficult time in my life, it's giving me experience that otherwise I could only pretend to understand. But more than that, it's gotten me thinking of the unconscious things we do as a result of problems, the nervous ticks and awkward gestures that give away our private thoughts.
Sorry. Alright, moving on.
What about you? Have you written your private pain into anything? Do you 'people watch' and milk the pain of others? Which emotional situation do you feel you convey well in your writing because you've had experience with it?

Recommender systems have emerged as critical tools that help alleviate the burden of information overload for users. Since these systems have to deal with a variety of modes of user interactions, collaborative recommendation must be sensitive to a user’s specific context and changing interests over time. Our approach is to build a digital library system containing soft copies in form of PDF, PPT etc. To make it more efficient we are adding recommendation system that will suggest books to students on their issuance history, rating patterns and viewing of books. Our idea here is to apply a hybrid recommendation system that combines effective individual recommendation algorithms.

About a year ago, House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) went to the Economic Club of New York to draw a line in the debt-ceiling debate: no tax increases, and spending cuts greater than the increase in the debt ceiling.
Today at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s 2012 Fiscal Summit, Boehner is delivering another warning, this time on the end-of-year “fiscal cliff”:
For all the focus on Election Day, another date looms large for every household and every business, and that’s January 1, 2013.
On that day, without action by Congress, a sudden and massive tax increase will be imposed on every American — by an average of $3,000 per household. Rates go up, the child tax credit is cut in half, the [alternative minimum tax] patches end, the estate tax returns . . .
Now, it gets a little more complicated than that. What will expire on January 1 is cause for concern — as is what will take effect. That includes:
Indiscriminate spending cuts of $1.2 trillion — half of which would devastate our men and women in uniform and send a signal of weakness;
Several tax increases from the health care law that is making it harder to hire new workers;
As well as a slate of energy and banking rules and regulations that will also increase the strain on the private sector.
But . . . it gets even more complicated than that.
Sometime after the election, the federal government will near the statutory debt limit.
So what is Boehner going to do about all that?
He is reissuing his debt ceiling formula: “When the time comes, I will again insist on my simple principle of cuts and reforms greater than the debt limit increase. This is the only avenue I see right now to force the elected leadership of this country to solve our structural fiscal imbalance. . . . Just so we’re clear, I’m talking about REAL cuts and reforms — not these tricks and gimmicks that have given Washington a pass on grappling with its spending problem.”
Interestingly, he zings the president for the “grand bargain” negotiations, saying, “Last year, in our negotiations with the White House, the president and his team put a number of gimmicks on the table. Plenty of thought and creativity went into them – things like counting money that was never going to be spent as savings.”
Moving on to taxes, Boehner recommends, not surprisingly, a vote to stave off the end of the Bush tax cuts. But, he says, this is to “give Congress time to work on broad-based tax reform that lowers rates for individuals and businesses while closing deductions, credits, and special carveouts.” He is talking about increased revenues through a pro-growth tax code. (“We’ll have replaced the broken status quo with a tax code that maintains progressivity, taxes income once, and creates a fairer, simpler code. And if we do THAT right, we will see increased revenue from more economic growth.”)
And he makes his pitch for one more try at entitlement reform. “We can’t wait. Employers large and small are already bracing for the coming tax hikes and regulations, which freeze their plans. The markets aren’t going to wait forever; eventually they’re going to start reacting.”
Boehner also takes aim at the president once again, making explicit what has already been reported in The Post and elsewhere:
He was willing to talk about the tough choices needed to preserve and strengthen our entitlement programs, but he wasn’t ready to take action.
As it turned out, he wouldn’t agree to even the most basic entitlement reform unless it was accompanied by tax increases on small business job creators.
We were on the verge of an agreement that would have reduced the deficit by trillions, by strengthening entitlement programs and reforming the tax code with permanently lower rates for all, laying the foundation for lasting growth.
But when the president saw his former colleagues in the Senate getting ready to press for tax hikes, he lost his nerve. The political temptation was too great. He moved the goalposts, changed his stance, and demanded tax hikes.
We ended up enacting a package with cuts and reforms larger than the hike. But it could have been so much more.
There are a few take-aways from the speech.
First, the solutions proposed (tax reform, entitlement reform) are the same as Mitt Romney’s. The GOP is all on the same page.
Second, it was a speech Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) could easily have delivered. The GOP has fully embraced the reform agenda that he began to roll out as early as 2007. The press may play up a divide between the “establishment” and conservative reformers of the tea party mold, but in the Republican House, they are one and the same.
Third, part of the rationale behind the speech certainly must have been to remind voters how derelict the president has been. We have a multi-car pile-up coming at the end of the year, Boehner argues, because for four years Obama will not have done his job.
Indeed, the GOP message for 2012 is simple: Obama didn’t do his job. It is no coincidence that Romney is in Iowa today, telling voters, “There’s plenty of blame to go around for both parties. But in my years leading businesses, an Olympics and a state, I’ve learned one simple principle of leadership that never falters: Leaders lead. I will lead us out of this debt and spending crisis.”
You can’t say there is message confusion on the GOP side in this election.

This entry is courtesy of my dear friend, former high school teacher turned full-time parent, Betsy Whitehouse. If you’d like to pipe in about a topic pertaining to parenting or education (or a place where these world’s collide), please feel free to let me know! I’m glad to shut up from time to time!
I never said boo to my parents. When they told me to do something, I may have slumped my shoulders, but it never occurred to me to reply. I do not mean I wanted to object but showed restraint and held my tongue instead; I mean, the thought of disobeying a parental command never floated across my synapses. How has this tradition not been repeated?
When I ask my son, age 11, to put down his book and come to dinner, I first get silence.
I say, “Please come to the table,” and then I get, “Just a sec, Mom.”
Ungrateful child: “I’m coming!” Then silence, followed by no movement from the couch.
Some people will no doubt snicker as they read these words because the child I’m complaining about is reading and not playing video games or texting friends or screwing around on Facebook, but my frustration level is the same, and my dinner is congealing. My mother would whistle up the stairs at me like a dog, and I’d come running.
Why are kids different this generation?
Because it takes work to give kids consequences. We often think that the grounding or the taking away of the hand-held video-game or the cell phone is uncomfortable enough to be a deterrent for the child, but really, it’s uncomfortable for us. We want to teach our kids the right way to live, but how far out of our way are we willing to go? Not far enough. We are slow to react to bad behavior because it’s disappointing for dad to come home to a child who’s unavailable, banished to her room; because – without a cellphone – it’s inconvenient for us to be unable to call the kid to tell him you’ll be late at pick-up; and, let’s be honest, it can be distracting to have one’s pre-teen PSP-less and yammering while you’re trying to clean, cook, manage. Setting consistent limits for our kids means parents have to suffer the consequences, too. We have to be willing to live with, and be strong with, whatever punishment we mete out.
I never really wanted to turn into my mom; maybe I could just have that one, confident, in-charge, diligent piece of her.

Now I understand that it was meant to be humorus because that's the type of film it is. If it were a football, baseball, or basketball game, it would have been just as light hearted and we wouldn't be having this conversation. But for a sport that you have so many tourny players and promoters pouring their heart and souls into, hoping to further its status, I would have chosen to give them a little more respect.
Now before anyone thinks this is a personal attack, please understand I'm stating MY opinion and while I am open to everyone's ideas, and even can be persuaded if your opinion makes sense to me, I don't think it's appropriate to be disrespectful to anyone.

Do we trust that the government is telling us the truth about the deadly disease and doing all it can to stop it?
Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who arrived in Dallas before becoming symptomatic with Ebola died Wednesday morning. His condition became critical over the weekend and he was given a new antiviral drug on Monday which apparently failed to halt progression of the disease. Duncan did not receive the ZMapp drug, supplies of which are now depleted with the last dose going to a victim in Norway. The drug's effectiveness is still uncertain.
Meanwhile, Jesse Jackson arrived in Dallas on Tuesday questioning whether Duncan had received the highest level of care. Never let a crisis go to waste hunh Jesse?
This case and the shifting information being provided by government officials has raised concerns. Less than a month ago Obama said it was "unlikely" that anyone with Ebola would reach our shores. The Centers for Disease Control have altered their warnings on Ebola expressing less certainty about the routes of transmission. In an era where trust in government is at an all time low and we've seen the corruption of formerly apolitical agencies like the IRS and the Department of Justice people aren't so trusting of CDC reports.
Stories of the NBC cameraman and Spanish nurse who came down with Ebola raise concerns that the virus is easier to catch than official pronouncements would suggest. The question of possible airborne transmission continues to stoke fear.
A large outbreak of Ebola appears remote in the U.S. As long as individual cases of sick persons and those in close contact with them can be quarantined it should be possible to contain the disease. However, it's entirely possible that flareups will happen in areas across the country as the disease spreads worldwide. What can you do to protect yourself and your family?
The Washington Post had a good article on the basic facts, as we understand them, on Ebola transmission. A person with an active infection beyond just aches, pains and fever can transmit Ebola by touching surfaces that are later touched by uninfected persons. The length of viable surface contamination varies depending on the volume of any infected bodily fluids. An infected person touching a door knob or a table may leave viable virus particles capable of infecting you up to several hours later. Imagine the number of times a day you touch a doorknob or enter your PIN at the grocery checkout or handle money.
The best defense against these exposures is to use hand sanitizer after every contact with a surface or other human being in public areas. That's also a good way to prevent infection from the flu or the common cold. It's good advice during flu season despite any Ebola fears.

These Dairy Free S’mores Fudgesicles are so easy to make and so fun for the summer! This dairy free dessert only takes 10 minutes to prep and lasts for up to a month in the freezer. The creamy and silky dairy free chocolate combined with the crunchy gluten free graham crackers topped off with dairy free marshmallows is so delicious. This recipe is definitely a keeper in my house.
What Makes This Recipe So Good?
- First off, it only takes 10 minutes to make!
- Secondly, these fudgesicles store so well in the freezer so it is a great dessert to bulk make.
- The crunchy gluten free graham cracker crust adds a whole new level of crunch.
- This recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, paleo and vegan. This recipe can be adapted to be made AIP (autoimmune protocol friendly.)
- If you are having company, this is a great prep ahead dessert option. If you are like me I hate having to be in the kitchen while company is over, with this recipe it can all be done beforehand.
- If you are a dairy free fudge lover like me, you may also want to check out my Vegan Chocolate Truffles.
- This no bake recipe doesn’t require you to turn the oven on, which is perfect for summer!
- Dairy free chocolate chips-I love the Hu brand. You can use any brand you would like but Hu is my favorite. If you are not dairy free, just use regular chocolate chips. If you are following the autoimmune protocol (AIP) you can use carob chips.
- Gluten free graham crackers-You can use regular graham crackers if you are not gluten free. If you are doing the autoimmune protocol (AIP) you can also use Lovebird AIP cereal. It will give these fudge bars a nice crunch. You can also use chopped tigernuts.
- Dairy free marshmallows-You can buy store bought or make your own! If you are doing the Autoimmune protocol (AIP) you can check out this AIP marshmallow recipe on how to make your own complaint ones.
How To Make:
- Place your chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave and microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk and microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk and microwave again for 30 seconds until the chocolate sauce is all smooth.
- Then, add a thin layer of the chocolate to the bottom of the silicone popsicle molds.
- Now, chop up the graham crackers. You do not want them to be too thin because you really want to feel the crunch. If you are using the Lovebird Cereal do not chop it because it is already small enough.
- Add a layer of the graham crackers or cereal to the molds. Then, pour the remaining chocolate on top and smooth the chocolate out with a spatula.
- Next, insert the popsicle molds.
- Finally, add the marshmallows to the microwave for 30 seconds and whisk. Pull apart the marshmallows and spread on top.
- Now, place the fudgesicles in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
How Long Do These Last In The Freezer?
- These fun little treats last for up to a month in the freezer.
What Kind Of Molds Do You Suggest?
- I use these silicone molds.
- Be sure not to chop up your graham crackers not too fine because you really want the crunch.
- I highly suggest using the silicone molds because a lot of molds are sticky meaning it will be hard to get your treat out all in one piece.
- Make sure you mix your chocolate every 30 seconds in the microwave, this will prevent it from burning!
If you like this recipe, you will LOVE my other dairy free chocolate recipes:
If you enjoyed this recipe it would mean the world to me if you rated it and left a comment below. It helps others find it on google.xoxo-Allianna
Dairy Free Fudgesicles
- silicone popsicle molds
- 2.5 cups dairy free chocolate I like the Hu brand. If you are doing the autoimmune protocol, substitute with carob chips.
- 1 graham cracker I always do gluten free. If you are doing AIP, substitute with Love Bird cereal or chopped tigernuts.
- 1 cup dairy free marshmallows see notes for AIP recommendation
- Place the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, then take the chocolate out and whisk. Do this 3 times ensuring you mix the chocolate in between to prevent it from burning.
- Now, chop up the graham crackers into chunks (not too fine because you want there to be a nice crunch.) Pour a nice layer of the chocolate sauce into the silicone molds (this should account for half of the chocolate.)
- Now, add a layer of the graham crackers. If you are following AIP, use the chopped tigernuts or the Love Bird Cereal. Next, pour the remaining chocolate on top.
- Finally, melt the marshmallows in the microwave for 30 seconds and whisk. Drizzle the marshmallows on top and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours. If you enjoyed this recipe it would mean the world to me if you rated it and left a comment below. It helps others find it on google.xoxo-Allianna

Nigeria will most likely increase the export of its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in August and September to the global market if the demand of the commodity goes up despite the crash in prices which is near record lows.
However, in the meantime, the government-owned Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) company has concluded plans to maintain its current supply level to the global market. This is contrary to what some other exporters like the United States and Australia seem to be doing following low prices.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Nigeria exported over 1.8 million tons in the month of June, which is more than last year’s monthly average of 1.7 million tons.
Some of the country’s buyers have effected clauses in their long-term which allows them to take fewer shipments than was originally agreed. The gas firm has been able to sell the excess supply at a discount in the spot market. Over 50% of Nigeria’s exports in May were sold in Asia as against the about 30% that was sold last year.
Natural gas exports have slowed in June as the coronavirus pandemic has negatively affected global demand. Most of the multibillion-dollar projects in natural gas export terminals have been either halted or delayed as a result of the disruptions by the pandemic.
The damage to the gas trade goes well beyond the Middle East as it is affecting similar businesses in Australia, which is reputed to be the world’s largest exporter of LNG and the United States. With the global exports down by 6.3% from the previous year, only a few exporting countries like Qatar and Algeria, have been able to increase output.
The positive for Nigeria is that the production cost at its LNG facility in Bonny island is so low that it can still turn a profit despite the weak spot prices. The facility has been about the lowest costs when compared to similar projects around the world.
Nairametrics had reported that the NLNG just signed the engineering, procurement and construction contract for its train 7 project, which is a major gas expansion plan. The project is expected to boost the country’s LNG output by more than 30%.
The NLNG is a consortium between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Royal Dutch Shell, Total and Eni. The project is coming at a difficult time when LNG prices in Asia and gas prices in Europe have hit a record low due to the coronavirus pandemic which has weakened demand.
What is the secret to Nigeria LNG ‘s low operational cost during this pandemic. What are they doing differently?

Heavy Duty Jibs. Fork Truck & Forklift Construction Equipment Attachment.
Easy Rack Heavy Duty Jibs are intended for use on industrial lift trucks and rough terrain straight-mast or extendable-reach forklifts. Heavy duty jibs install on the forklift by inserting both forks fully into the fork pockets. The rear of the jib then seats against the back of the fork. A safety chain wraps forklift carriage to hold it in place.
Each heavy duty jib features two swivel hooks. One is fixed at the end of the jib and the other can be positioned in any location on the underside of the boom. This allows you to pick up loads with two hook points. Every hook is rated at 4000 lbs. on the mid-sized model and 6,000 lbs on the larger model. One or both hooks can be used to pick up the load but the total weight cannot exceed the rated capacity of the jib as shown on the load chart for that extended or retracted position.
Heavy Duty Jib Load Capacities
Maximum load capacity for each model in the various extended or retracted positions range from 1935-6000 lbs. Ask a material handling specialist about your specific application. Please remember that load capacity ratings are for the heavy duty jib itself and not the forklift nor the maximum load that can be safely handled with a particular forklift. Whenever heavy duty jibs, or any other forklift attachments for that matter, are added to a lift truck, the weight of the attachment, the new center of gravity, will reduce the lift capacity of the forklift.
Forklift Load Capacities
You must make absolutely certain not to exceed the capacity of your forklift. There are two ways to determine this reduction of forklift capacity. Ideally, you should contact the forklift manufacturer for a de-rated load capacity chart. If you cannot find one, simple foot pound calculations can be made to estimate the reduced load capacities. For example, a forklift that is rated in the desired lift position at 8000 lbs (at a 2 ft load center) has a lift capacity of 16000 foot lbs. (2 ft X 8000 lbs.) To calculate, for instance, the load when using our mid-sized jib at its maximum extension of 11’7”, simply deduct the 1850 foot lbs for the weight of your heavy duty jib (cg x weight of jib) from the 16000 ft lbs and then divide the remainder by the new load center, 11.6 feet, which results in a 1221 lbs maximum lift capacity.
These calculations provide an approximate estimate of the reduced forklift capacity when using heavy duty jibs. They are based on a standard 24´forklift load center. The maximum load capacity for each hook position is shown under the forklift’s rated capacity for that fork position. Calculations must be individual and precise. Again, if you do not have time to do all this calculation yourself, contact one of our experts.
Before you use a jib, make certain that it is properly secured to the forklift with shackles and hooks, and that the screw pins are tight. Also, determine that every load falls within the capabilities of the forklift. Keep in mind that rated capacities will often decrease when the boom is in a raised position, or when the mast is tilted forward, or in the case of telehandlers, when the boom is extended.
Please do not pull loads with heavy duty jibs, because they are made for vertical lift only. Always carry a load low and keep it from swinging. Any time a load is raised; extreme caution should be exercised as the forklift is far more vulnerable to tipping with a raised load.

In the third part, the opportunity has been taken now, as before, to present some definitions of pain terms that were published previously in Pain and revised in 1986. Two new terms have been added to these definitions- Neuropathic Pain and Peripheral Neuropathic Pain- and the definition of Central Pain has been altered accordingly. The list of those who have contributed with drafts or with revisions of drafts precedes this introduction. Some have provided descriptions of a syndrome or comments on it; others have described a whole group or groups of syndromes. Some have also made theoretical contributions in working out how we should proceed. Bonica, in particular, was instrumental in providing ideas from which the present volume has grown. Serratore have been unfailingly patient and helpful in the production of the manuscript and in the associated correspondence over several years. Bryan Urakawa un dertook the difficult task of merging the old and new material in an updated text. Leslie Nelson Bond, has made detailed improvements to the wording and helped to establish the new format. Its printing and distribution, however, marked the end of a stage in what is fundamentally a continuous process or sequence of scientific endeavor. It was offered as a provisional compilation for scrutiny and correction by all who have the expertise and the will to devote some effort to developing this statement of our existing knowledge of pain syndromes. Everyone who read it was invited to check it within his or her own field of knowledge for completeness and accuracy and to send any recommendations for additions or corrections to the chairperson of the Subcommittee on Taxonomy (now the Task Force on Taxonomy). The same invitation accompanies this edition, which in its turn should undergo development and modification. This in fact has been the experience and chronology of such widely ix accepted classifications as those pertaining to heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, toxemia of pregnancy, psychiatric disorders, and a host of others. This will require that they be incorporated in the spoken and written transfer of information, particularly scientific papers, books, etc. The need arises because specialists from different disciplines all require a framework within which to group the conditions that they are treating. This framework should enable them to order their own data, identify different diseases or syndromes, and compare their experience and observations with those of others. Studies of epidemiology, etiology, prognosis, and treatment all depend upon the ability to classify clinical events in an agreed pattern. The delivery of medical services is also facilitated if both the type and number of conditions and patients to be treated can be established in a systematic fashion. In some centers, payment by insurance companies for medical care of the insured creates a demand for a classification system. In regard to chronic pain, it is important to establish such a system of classification that goes beyond what is available in the general international systems such as the International Classification of Diseases.

Some of the undesirable reactions to symptoms 8 days after ovulation 75 mg prothiaden otc medications are weight gain, muscular rigidity, fatigue, motor restlessness, and social withdrawal, most of which can be reduced with specific medications. Some side effects such as depression and cognitive impairment can be alleviated with dosage reduction or a change of medication. Electrophysiological recordings, for example, the recording of auditory brainstem responses to assess hearing function in infants, trace brain electrical activity in response to a specific external stimulus. In this method, electrodes placed in specific parts of the brain - which vary depending on which sensory system is being tested - make recordings that are then processed by a computer. The computer makes an analysis based on the time lapse between stimulus and response. Following the discovery that material is transported within neurons, methods have been developed to visualize activity and precisely track fiber connections within the nervous system. This can be done by injecting a radioactive amino acid into the brain of an experimental animal; the animal is sacrificed a few hours later, and then the presence of radioactive cells is visualized on film. In another technique, the enzyme horseradish peroxidase is injected and taken up by nerve fibers that later can be identified under a microscope. These and other methods have resulted in many advances in knowledge about the workings of the nervous system and are still useful today. New methods, safely applicable to humans, promise to give even more precise information. Knowing the location of these changes helps researchers understand the causes of depression and monitor the effectiveness of specific treatments. Different atoms in the brain resonate to different frequencies of magnetic fields. A second magnetic field, oriented differently from the background field, is turned on and off many times a second; at certain pulse rates, particular atoms resonate and line up with this second field. When the second field is turned off, the atoms that were lined up with it swing back to align with the background field. As they swing back, they create a signal that can be picked up and converted into an image. Tissue that contains a lot of water and fat produces a bright image; tissue that contains little or no water, such as bone, appears black. This method of measuring brain function is based on the detection of radioactivity emitted when positrons, positively charged particles, undergo radioactive decay in the brain. Small amounts of a radioisotope are introduced into the blood, which is then taken up into different brain areas in proportion to how hard the neurons are working. Computers build three-dimensional images of the changes in blood flow based on the amount of radiation emitted in these different brain regions. Every trait and chemical process in the body is controlled by a gene or group of genes on 23 paired chromosomes in the nucleus of every cell (1). Each gene is a discrete segment along the two tightly coiled strands of dNa that make up these chromosomes. It reveals the precise extent of tumors rapidly and vividly, and it provides early evidence of potential damage from stroke, allowing physicians to administer proper treatments early. This technique allows for more detailed maps of brain areas underlying human mental activities in health and disease. Moreover, by presenting stimuli at various rates, scientists can determine how long neural activation is sustained in the diverse brain areas that respond. Together, this information leads to a much more precise understanding of how the brain works in health and disease. Optical imaging techniques Optical imaging relies on shining weak lasers through the skull to visualize brain activity. They are also silent and safe: Because only extremely weak lasers are used, these methods can be used to study even infants. Blood with oxygen in it absorbs different frequencies of light from blood in which the oxygen has been consumed. By observing how much light is reflected back from the brain at each frequency, researchers can track blood flow.
Associated Symptoms Neurological symptoms and signs are variable but may include peripheral neuritis (motor) treatment 6th feb cardiff order prothiaden without prescription, autonomic treatment 3rd nerve palsy buy prothiaden cheap online, brain stem treatment hiccups 75 mg prothiaden fast delivery, cranial nerve, and cerebral dysfunction. Signs the abdomen is soft, tenderness is marked, and rebound tenderness is absent. Laboratory Findings X-rays often show areas of intestinal distension proximal to areas of spasm. Usual Course Severe cases may terminate in death from respiratory failure or from azotemia. Many, however, are clinically mild or latent and may exhibit only minor or vague complaints. Social and Physical Disabilities Pain often results in frequent admissions to hospital. Porphyria-Hepatic Porphyrias A group of disorders characterized by increased formation of porphyrins and/or porphyrin precursors in the liver. The principal clinical manifestations are photosensitivity and neurological lesions, which result in abdominal pain, peripheral neuropathy, and mental disturbance. Page 162 Pathogenesis the primary genetic defect is a generalized deficiency of enzyme uroporphyrinogen I synthetase acting in the pathway of heme synthesis, predominantly in the liver. Essential Features Acute intermittent abdominal colic without photosensitivity, with or without neuropsychiatric associated symptoms and hypertension, and typical urinary findings (q. Differential Diagnosis Peptic ulcer, gallstones, appendicitis, diverticulitis, irritable colon, lead poisoning, etc. First reported in Dutch descendants in South Africa where incidence is 3 in 1000 Afrikaners. Onset: usually in third decade, with cutaneous photosensitivity being initial feature. Provoked by a variety of drugs, particularly barbiturates and sulfonamide, hormones, anesthetics, ethanol. Laboratory Findings Excretion of large amounts of protoporphyrin and coproporphyrin in feces. Urinary porphyrin precursors only modestly increased or normal, except during acute attack. Diagnostic Criteria Intermittent acute abdominal pain with prominent cutaneous photosensitivity and often neuropsychiatric manifestations. This may be manifest as pains of discomfort, or at the time of labor, very rarely in developed societies, as an episode of pains resembling contractions. May be felt always in the same iliac fossa, or alternately on one side or the other, or in the whole lower abdomen. Main Features Prevalence: Mittelschmerz is the complaint of 1 to 3% of patients in a gynecological outpatient clinic. It presents around the date of ovulation as a severe pain in an iliac fossa, lasting some 20 to 30 minutes and then gradually fading away. It may be accompanied by symptoms and signs of intraperitoneal bleeding: anemia, abdominal meteorism, diaphragmatic and/or shoulder pain, and fainting. Time Course: the severe form recurs only rarely; it may be followed by the recurrent less severe form.

Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission
729 NE Oregon St.
Portland, Oregon OR 97232
For generations, traditional fishing authorities governed tribal communities on the Columbia River. One such authority was the old "Celilo Fish Committee." The authority exercised by the Celilo Fish Committee was derived from the sovereign powers of the people living and fishing in nearby tribal territories. The committee ordained fishing practices that were disciplined and designed to serve a high purpose: to ensure that the salmon resource was served first--even worshipped--so that it would flourish and always exist. Tribal fish committee practices were successful--salmon were plentiful season after season. Then, the Columbia River and its adjacent environment were dramatically altered. Obstacles to salmon migration proliferated. Water quality and water flow were diminished. Ocean and in-river fishing increased. The salmon declined.

Daddy to 3-year-old Josephine, “Josephine, I’m sorry I broke your toy. Will you forgive me?”
Josephine, “No. But tomorrow I will forgive you.”
Daddy, “Tomorrow you will forgive me? Thanks, Josephine.”
Friends, this is an innocent and cute conversation about forgiveness involving something important to a three year old—her toys. But life and forgiveness usually run so much deeper than broken toys.
Hurts exist from words and wounds. Actions that caused someone great pain.
Yesterday my husband preached, “Trusting God and His design for us is better than our designs for self…”
Forgiveness is part of that design. Forgiveness does not mean you acknowledge the other person was right or his/her actions okay. But forgiveness allows you to be free to go in peace.
You do not have to approach the person to forgive him or her—but you do not have to remain locked away in bitterness and pain because of your hurt.
Freedom comes through flight. And flight comes when you are out in the world, the vast expanse of the sky above you. It comes when the world becomes limitless.
Forgiveness will help take you to the sky.
I pray for you. If you are locked into a world of bitterness because of great hurt, let that world no longer rule your life. The hurt, the bitterness, it’s already robbed you of YOU.
Choose forgiveness, freedom, and flight.
And, if you need help getting there, find a support group or counselor near you to help you place the pieces of your life back together, making the complexity of who you are from fragments or pieces into a completed puzzle. A masterpiece.
Then go forward and live. Free.

As somebody who interviews people all day most every day, it is pleasure to have others ask me my opinions of things. And when the questions become social and philosophical, I often cite George Gilder (author of Men and Marriage) that the most important question every society must answer is what do you do with the men. In particular, male sexual drive must be channeled into the marital bottle (to quote Dennis Prager).
Yes, I fail to live up to my own admonition as I am 38 and never married. But I still hold by the ideal, even if I haven't lived up to it.
I was reminded of this matter by a remark by rabbi David Wolpe at Friday Night Live at Temple Sinai in Westwood December 10. He pointed out that the service and its programming afterwards were aimed (and sponsored for) people aged 21-39, and while the synagogue did not want to discourage people older than that from attending a religious service, it did request that such persons at least bring a younger friend. And that afterwards, people older than the targeted demographic should leave so that programs aimed at people 21-39 could be enjoyed solely by that age group.
Rabbi Wolpe noted that the synagogue had received numerous complaints about older men trying to "socialize" with the young women, and that such men should have the dignity to remove themselves before they were asked to leave.
Applause immediately rippled through the synagogue, most of it from young women. At the same time, I sensed that many of the older men in the shul were offended.
I wholeheartedly agreed with rabbi Wolpe's sentiments but did not applause because it is against Jewish custom to applaud during a religious service (and because I think that as a journalist, I should be removed and reserved and monk-like, to quote J.J. Goldberg of the Forward).
I was sitting by one man who was near 50. He leaned over to me and said, "Does this mean we should leave now?"
Miffed, I replied, "I'm 38. I'm staying. This service is for people 21-39."
Have my sins written themselves on my sagging features so deeply?
During the socializing, I spoke to a couple of men in their 40s who were furious at rabbi Wolpe's remarks. They were furious that he had emphasized older men trying to socialize with young women. Such remarks were sexist, ageist, exclusionary and all sorts of horrible things.
A couple of women in their 30s told me that the rabbi's remarks were rude. Still, overall, I sensed widespread approval of the rabbi's remarks.
As I said to one man, men do tend to be sexually predatory. Men are far more likely to hit aggressively on women than vice versa.
What I did not say but passionately believe is that people should have enough dignity that they do not try to attend events explicitly designed for another age group. As I hit my 40s, I'm not going to be attending Friday Night Live anymore (please God, I'm going to be married).
Over the past couple of years, I've noticed an increasing number of older people, folks going into their 60s and beyond, coming to Friday Night Live and trying to hit on the young women. It's not right.
It's one thing to lie about your age on JDate (which I think is wrong), but it is even worse to invade religious services explicitly targeted at a group of people who tend to have little to do with organized Jewish life (young singles).
Friday Night Live used to be filled to overflowing with people 21-39. As the old people have moved in, the young people have fled. There are plenty of Jewish events for people over 40. Why not leave FNL alone?
For my sins, I've been exiled from four of my favorite Orthodox synagogues. Do I hang around these shuls? Do I try to walk in and see if anyone catches me? Do I harass them? Do I speak ill of them? Do I start campaigns against them or their rabbis? Do I threaten to write letters to the Jewish Journal against them (as I heard people threatening to do Friday night against rabbi Wolpe)? No way. (Well, I did sneak in once to a shul that had banned me (I write about that in my memoir). I got caught and vowed that I would never do it again.)
A confession: I have gone to several UCLA Hillel day of learning events (during Passover) explicitly aimed at people 18-30 (while I've been well into my 30s).
All my life I've been excluded from homes, organizations and the lives of people I wanted to be close to, because of nasty things I've written and said. I enjoy saying what I think, and I hope that I am willing to pay the price. I'd like to think I have some dignity, and when I am not wanted by someone or something, I stay away (unless my writing or other responsibilities oblige me to investigate).
Now, I have been clueless many times in not reading the signals of those who think I'm creep. I have been pretty aggressive with hitting on women (particularly in my younger days). Yet, I want to believe that my recognition of these flaws in my character better enables me to appreciate the wisdom of rabbi Wolpe's remarks.
Despite the rabbi's words, there were over a dozen men well over 40 walking around the FNL program after services. How are they going to feel when they eventually get tapped on the shoulder and asked to leave?

Oh No He Didn't
There’s a simmering fashion feud percolating between New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn and Hedi Slimane, the designer who has taken over Yves Saint Laurent and is widely credited with Dior Homme’s skinny silhouette. The beef led to Ms. Horyn not being invited to the YSL show, which didn’t stop her from reviewing it in The New York Times on the Runway blog using publicly available photos. Needless to say, her take wasn’t overwhelmingly positive.
“I was not invited. Despite positive reviews of his early YSL and Dior collections, as well as a profile, Mr. Slimane objected bitterly to a review I wrote in 2004—not about him but Raf Simons,” wrote Ms. Horyn.
As best we can tell, the deliberate non-invitation was a result of Ms. Horyn’s doubts about the origins of the skinny-silhouetted suit.
Fashion's Night Out 2012
It’s already time for Fashion Week again? How did that happen? And not just Fashion Week, but the one that includes New York’s annual Fashion’s Night Out event. This evening marks the third-most important night of the year for Anna Wintour (besides the Met gala and whenever the president is in town), and we’re looking forward to all the celebrity sightings that are sure to occur. Here are our five best guesses of A-list names to appear tonight.
Sex and Fashion
In the beginning, there was only darkness, and the lord said “Let There Be Twilight.” And it was good. (Well, not really.) On the second day, the Lord said “Let Twilight beget erotic fan fiction,” and lo, 50 Shades of Grey was taken from the spine of Stephenie Meyer’s Mormon vampire book. On the third day, the lord populated the earth with children of Grey: the book parodies, the sex toys, the male escort services.
The passionate opposition of the pro-obesity lobby pro-soda-size-choice lobby has already assaulted Mayor Bloomberg with a ‘Million Gulp March‘ for Big Soda. What’s next? Fashion, for people and drinks of all sizes!
When we last reported on Rockaway Beach—a well-established “Hipster Hamptons” of sorts for the last few years—we saw the writing on the wall:
Last night, Adidas decided to pull from shelves one of their limited-edition sneakers, after a controversy accusing the company of releasing a product with racial overtones took hold of news cycles yesterday.
The worlds of fashion, sneaker culture, and political correctness have collided head-on today when—for Monday “kicks,” as it were—The Internet has managed to turn out an ostensibly race-lined fashion controversy.
Following in the footsteps of recent September cover stars Kate Moss, Halle Berry, and Charlize Theron, pop singer Lady Gaga has reportedly shot the September 2012 Vogue cover. Lady Gaga was previously featured on the magazine in March 2011 (that cover is at left); perhaps, in addition to promoting her new fragrance, she’s Read More
Could this become any more wonderful and/or absurd? Apparently, yes.
Last week, French street artist Kidult took a fire extinguisher full of pink paint, and unleashed it on Marc Jacobs’ SoHo boutique last week, painting the word “ART” over the store. Marc Jacobs had some fun with it on social media, and then, commodtized the ostensible political message by turning a photo of his painted store—which is vandalism or art, depending on how you see it—into a $700 T-Shirt, with the caption “Art by Art Jacobs.” Kidult, the artist, was pissed, and made it known.
On the night of the Met Ball, the Marc Jacobs boutique in SoHo was vandalized by a French street artist named Kidult, just like Supreme, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes had done to them. The next morning, Marc Jacobs made light of it by turning it into a canny social media (and thus: marketing) joke. After that, Marc Jacobs and Company decided to turn it into a $689 T-Shirt, and moreover, turn an indictment of capitalism into an indictment of street art.
Needless to say, Kidult is pissed.
