SCARSDALE, N.Y. - A pair of Chinese natives living in Queens were arrested with more than two dozen illegal ATM cards in Scarsdale on Wednesday after using them to make fraudulent transactions at banks exceeding nearly $30,000.
Scarsdale Police Chief Andrew Matturro announced Thursday that Flushing residents Yan Lin Liu, 33, and Huirong Liu, 24, were arrested and charged with 27 felony counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument after suspicious ATM activity was reported at Webster Bank on Popham Road.
According to police, shortly before 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, police were dispatched to Webster Bank when the suspicious activity was flagged. Upon arrival, police determined that both suspects were in possession of 27 fraudulent ATM cards, none of which had cardholders names and most of which did not have any account number or bank information on them.
The ATM cards each had four digit PIN numbers written on the back, In total, the fraudulent transactions where the suspects were arrested exceeded $29,000.
Matturo said that the investigation is ongoing, as police attempt to identify the financial institution and account holder information that was encoded on the cards. The United States Secret Service assisted in the investigation, and Scarsdale police are now working with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office Financial Crimes Division.
Both suspects were arraigned in Scarsdale Justice Court on Wednesday and remanded to the Westchester County Jail on $60,000 bail each. Each is a Chinese citizen in America on a visa.

What type of protein is quinoa?
Quinoa is considered a complete protein source, which means that it provides all nine essential amino acids ( 6 , 18 , 19). It’s exceptionally high in the amino acid lysine, which is usually lacking in plants. It’s also rich in methionine and histidine, making it an excellent plant-based protein source (1, 2 , 3).
Does quinoa have more protein than rice?
Protein. Both brown and white rice have small amounts of protein, clocking in at between four and five grams per cup when cooked. Quinoa, on the other hand, packs 8 grams per cup.
Is quinoa anti inflammatory?
Quinoa, a well-known healthy pseudocereal, has a high content of dietary fiber, contains poly-unsaturated fatty acids, and is considered a high-quality source of protein. Furthermore, it contains an abundance of anti-inflammatory phytochemicals21–23 and therefore has potential protective effects against inflammation.
Can quinoa be eaten everyday?
Quinoa is a seed of an edible plant. A study by Harvard Public School of Health stated that eating a bowl of quinoa daily may reduce the chances of early death risk from cancer, heart disease, respiratory ailments, diabetes, and other chronic diseases by 17%.
Can quinoa make you fat?
Lots of people find it more filling than other counterparts like cous cous – but when a serving is just ½ a cup of the cooked grain, it’s easy to overeat, and because quinoa is actually higher in calories than the same quantity of carbs like brown rice or wholewheat pasta, you might find yourself piling on the pounds …
Can quinoa be eaten every day?
Quinoa can be consumed anytime – at breakfast, lunch or dinner. But it is best to eat healthy food like quinoa before going to bed. It induces sleep, because it relaxes the muscles, due to its high magnesium and protein content. “One can eat one-two cups of cooked quinoa in a day.
How much protein does quinoa have compared to meat?
Quinoa is super-high in protein: Quinoa is often listed alongside poultry and meat as a stellar source of protein, so it’s time to set the record straight. Quinoa has eight grams of protein per cup, but a three-ounce serving of meat or poultry has around 25 grams of protein – hardly comparable.
Is quinoa considered a grain or protein?
Quinoa is counted as a grain. However, it can also be used as a protein, in circumstances where soy is not tolerated and the person would like alternatives. 4 oz. = 1 grain serving
Is quinoa a complete or incomplete protein?
Quinoa is considered a whole grain. It is the seed of a leafy plant related to spinach. Although most plant-based foods do not contain complete proteins containing all of the essential amino acids, quinoa is a complete protein.

The North Cascades Act created a new park complex in October 1968, but the Park Service did not take over management of the region until January 1, 1969. The Park Service agreed to this date with the Forest Service to bring about an orderly transfer of national forest lands, records, and facilities for the new national park. The memorandum of agreement between the agencies, once engaged in a bitter dispute over the proposed park, worked effectively and gave the Park Service time to coordinate interim management of the region with the Forest Service for such things as recreation and firefighting, and set up its own operations.
Two superintendents, Roger J. Contor and Lowell White, would guide the new park area through its first ten years. Roger Contor started as the first superintendent of North Cascades National Park in October 1968. Contor's background in wildlife biology, his experience working in natural area parks, and developing resource management plans and wilderness recommendations helped set the tone and direction for the park's management. Not yet forty years old and a fourteen-year veteran of the Park Service, Contor came to the park complex from Canyonlands National Park in Utah, where he was assistant superintendent. He considered the appointment the high point of his career. Prior to assuming his new job, Contor worked for several months in the Park Service's field office in Seattle, Washington, set up during the last stages of the park's establishment to aid Senator Jackson's legislative staff, conduct field work, and plan and promote the proposed park. His experience here would give him valuable insight into the new area's issues and needs.
Contor and other Park Service officials worked quickly to put the new park's administration into order in the months following establishment. They conceived of the park complex being managed as an interrelated whole with one superintendent and his staff, two districts -- the Skagit and Stehekin -- run by district managers who reported to the superintendent. (The Park Service borrowed this district manager concept from the Forest Service, but it had also been experimented with at Glacier National Park in the 1950s.) The agency also established the park's headquarters at Sedro Woolley, the Skagit District office at Marblemount, and the Stehekin District office at Chelan. By July 1969, the park's staff consisted of seven permanent and forty seasonal employees; the former were composed of career Park Service as well as former Forest Service employees, and the latter, maintenance workers and rangers, were drawn primarily from local communities.
Selecting former Forest Service workers and local residents as employees of the new park complex served practical as well as political ends. Despite participating in field reconnaissance during the North Cascades Study Team's survey of the region and subsequent field work, the park managers knew little about the area under their care, and they gladly welcomed the national forest employees and relied on their experience in the early stages of management. In fact, two former Forest Service employees became the park's first acting district rangers.  On the other hand, hiring from local communities demonstrated the Park Service's interest in calming fears that a new park would destroy the local economy. It also demonstrated the agency's interest in striking up good relations with its new neighbors.
Public relations played a significant role in the park's early management. The park campaign left many communities, businesses, and residents surrounding the North Cascades resentful, and some fearful of how the new parkland would affect them. Smoothing over relations was important then to the new park's success, since park managers would be replacing familiar faces in Forest Service uniforms and living among and working with those who may have opposed the park or, at the very least, were leery of the Park Service's new regulations and its overall management mission. Furthermore, public relations were important to Senator Henry Jackson and Representative Lloyd Meeds. These were the politicians responsible for bringing the park to Washington; it lay within their districts, and they had a vested interest in its success.
In late 1968 and 1969, Jackson and Meeds conducted what amounted to publicity tours with Park Service and Forest Service officials in tow, holding public meetings with community leaders in Bellingham, Sedro Woolley, Wenatchee, and Chelan. The meetings enabled the politicians and agency representatives to show how the Forest Service and Park Service had put aside their differences and were now cooperating to coordinate the management of the northern Cascades. The meetings also provided a venue for elected as well as federal officials to mend relations with locals, discuss national park management philosophies and plans, and assure them that the new park would be to their benefit -- no matter what horror stories they may have heard from park opponents, including the Forest Service, during the heated moments of the park campaign.
Economic incentives helped most to smooth relations. Meeds and Jackson stressed the advantages communities would experience as service centers for tourists and park administrators. But gateway communities only stood to gain from the new park, and the influence of a powerful senator like Jackson, if they worked to support rather than oppose it. Thus, at Jackson's recommendation, park advisory committees formed in Skagit and Chelan counties to help "coordinate county and community cooperation" with the new park's personnel and capitalize on the tourism the parkland would bring to their regions, especially once Highway 20 opened and the park was developed for visitors. Ironically, many of the park's opponents turned into some of its biggest boosters. "There is no longer a controversy," stated Dave G. McIntyre, chairman of the Skagit Valley Advisory Board. "North Cascades Park is here and we all know it's here to stay. For those of us who might have questioned the idea in the beginning it behooves us to work now for its full development....In a matter of a few years we will be showing the nation one of its most beautiful areas."
The spoils of the park campaign, one might argue, went to the losers rather than the victors. Placing Park Service offices in Chelan, Stehekin, Marblemount, and Sedro Woolley served both practical as well as political purposes. In one respect, the selection of these sites represented a changing of the guard, from Forest Service to Park Service. In another, they reflected Jackson's influence, promises made or implied to local communities about their welfare after the park battle had ended. The location of Park Service offices on the west side of the park complex exemplifies this best. Neither of them lies within the complex's boundaries. The Marblemount Ranger Station was a logical place to locate a park office, for it was situated at the confluence of the Skagit and Cascade rivers, the two entryways by road into Ross Lake recreation area and the park. The ranger station, however, belonged to the Mount Baker National Forest, and the Forest Service did not necessarily have to turn it over to the Park Service, Roger Contor recalled, but they did at Jackson's request.
The location of the park complex's headquarters aroused more interest among the communities in the Skagit Valley. Marblemount, Concrete, and Sedro Woolley vied for the honor and related commercial benefits. Concrete, for example, wiped away sixty years of cement dust after the Lone Star Cement Company phased out its operations and launched a beautification campaign, aimed partially at attracting the federal government as one of the town's new employers. Community leaders portrayed Concrete as the "natural" location for the park headquarters, close to the park but with enough services to support the Park Service operation.
Similarly, Sedro Woolley wanted to be the park's permanent headquarters and boosted itself in a similar light but with far more success. The Northern State Hospital was being shut down, a major source of revenue, it seems, for the city and the park headquarters might fill the void. The signs that the Park Service would choose Sedro Woolley were good. In 1968, the Park Service made Sedro Woolley the new park's temporary headquarters. As Superintendent Contor noted, the city was the "best immediate compromise" in the agency's search for an "'ideal' headquarters location." It was the largest city near the park, accessible year round, and close to major highways. In addition, Sedro Woolley was conveniently situated near sources of supplies, repairs, and services. Moreover, at some sixty miles from the park complex, it was far enough from any one section of the park "so that all districts receive equal attention." Politics also worked in Sedro Woolley's favor. The city had the support of Governor Daniel J. Evans and Senator Jackson. The city commanded their attention, it seems, not only because of the hospital's closure, but also because the Skagit Corporation, the area's largest industry, was located there. Thus, in December 1970, Senator Jackson and Congressman Meeds informed Mayor William O. Pearson (who had vehemently opposed the park) that Sedro Woolley had been chosen as the park's permanent headquarters.
Governor Daniel J. Evans also participated in the healing process after the park's establishment. Evans decided that, despite the divisive nature of the park campaign, the state would back the new park and seek to enhance its management as well as the entire region around it. To this end, he created the North Cascades Reconnaissance Task Force in December 1968. The task force served as a forum for the future development and protection of the North Cascades, especially the access corridors to the new national park and recreation areas. In this respect, it offered a common ground for government agencies -- federal, state, and county -- where plans could be addressed and discussed, and where conflicts could be aired and hopefully resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Moreover, the task force illustrates the kind of complex management environment Park Service officials worked within; it suggests the diversity of management concerns and interest in the new parkland which park managers encountered, and stood to benefit from, as they began to shape the park complex. One might think of it as Washington State's version of the United Nations for the management of the North Cascades.
The direction the new park's management would take was outlined in three planning documents: a master plan, wilderness recommendations, and a Park Service-Forest Service joint management and development plan for the northern Cascades. Together they would guide the park for the foreseeable future, establishing in the process its management mission and satisfying its legislative mandates.
Completed in 1970, the complex's master plan, a rather slim and quickly produced document compared to contemporary plans, gave a broad and conceptual treatment of the new parkland's mission and management objectives. Simply put, the preservation of the park's "spectacular wilderness qualities" would inform all development and management decisions, and the two recreation areas would be managed and developed for "their great recreational potential, and as wilderness thresholds." Taken together, the park and recreation areas were united in the overall management of the park complex, the central purpose of which was to "offer to the American people a wealth of scenic, scientific, and recreational opportunities in a wilderness environment."
One of the more significant management considerations for the new parkland was its proximity to a large urban population. At the time, nearly 75 percent of Washington's population resided in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan region. This meant that some 2 million people were within a two-hour drive of the Skagit Valley and the heart of the park complex. Historically, residents from those cities had formed the majority of visitors to the state's oldest national park, Mount Rainier. The area could also expect to draw visitors from an even wider range of cities in the Puget Sound, Oregon, California, and British Columbia because Interstate 5 placed these urban centers within "reasonable driving distance" of the North Cascades.
A key element in that attraction would be Highway 20. Scheduled for completion in 1972, it would "revolutionize" vacation travel patterns, linking the heart of the new parkland with the interstate system and other state highways on the east and west sides of the state. Thus the Park Service expected that the park complex would be used extensively by day or weekend visitors and perhaps to a lesser extent by those seeking out lengthier encounters with the park's primary feature and most distinctive attraction, wilderness. The park complex was, as the master plan stated, the key link in an extensive system of recreational lands in both Canada and northern Washington, the majority of which were wilderness.
Ironically, the new park complex, despite its wilderness mission, derived its uniqueness from its close relationship with "major urban and industrial centers," a situation that "exists nowhere else in the United States." In other words, North Cascades was in the orbit of an expansive and influential urban-industrial population which would increasingly seek out unspoiled lands and recreational developments within its reach. Managing the new park as a wilderness and recreational complex would not occur separate from but in direct relationship with this urban-industrial region. As the plan concluded, traditional national park management concerns would be prevalent, for "the importance of this resource to the Nation and the region makes it essential that all who wish to experience its features be able to -- if only briefly, and from a distance."
The park's wilderness recommendations and joint management plan also answered questions about how the park would be administered. First, the wilderness recommendations, produced around the same time as the master plan, called for preserving approximately 516,000 acres of the park complex as wilderness. With the exception of roads, private lands, and developed areas, the majority of wilderness would encompass land within the two park units and a much smaller amount in the recreation areas. With this review, the Park Service demonstrated its commitment to wilderness protection. The wilderness of the North Cascades, Superintendent Contor noted, was "superb." It possessed "the classic attributes of rugged high mountain character, glaciers, alpine lakes, rivers and streams, alpine forests and meadows, native wildlife and a sense of remoteness." This "wilderness quality" was central to the creation of the national park, and its "preservation will be the keystone in the use and management of the areas."
Second, the coordinated management plan for public-use facilities with the Forest Service, drafted by 1970 but not officially released until 1974, rounded out the administration of the new parkland and its relationship with the three national forests (Mt. Baker, Okanogan, and Wenatchee) surrounding it. Congress had forced the two rival agencies to cooperate for political reasons; the park and recreation area boundaries followed the lines of least resistance. They excluded, for example, coveted commercial stands of timber in many of the approach valleys that led to the new park, such as along the Cascade River. The boundaries left out the Granite Creek section of Highway 20 to satisfy the Forest Service and the ski industry lobby, primarily. The revision omitted, as park advocates argued, a scenic entryway into the park complex. In this respect, the park complex was one piece of a larger wilderness and recreation area puzzle that included national forest lands. Thus, it behooved both agencies to coordinate the management of adjacent lands for financial as well as practical reasons.
The interagency planning teams, led by Neal Butterfield for the Park Service and Harold Chriswell for the Forest Service, covered a wide range of concerns -- from the use, transfer, and maintenance of shared trails, roads, and parking areas to the joint operation of visitor information centers and ranger stations. The final plan, an amalgam of both agencies' separate management plans for their respective areas, identified cooperative programs covering fire management, wilderness and backcountry management, visitor information services, the development and maintenance of roads and trails, and general assistance in search and rescue operations, law enforcement, use regulations, permits, and sign programs. The agencies also identified geographical areas of common interest where they would carry out some cooperative ventures, such as the North Fork of the Nooksack River, the Baker Lake area, the Highway 20 corridor, the Cascade River Road and Cascade Pass areas, and Lake Chelan.
Three places had high priority for early development. One was at Fields Point on the south shore of Lake Chelan. The Forest Service would acquire Fields Point and create a visitor information and docking facility staffed by the Forest Service and Park Service. Another was at Early Winters where the Forest Service would construct a visitor information station to serve as the eastern portal to the North Cascades on Highway 20. And the third was at Concrete, where the Park Service would install a visitor contact station as the western portal to the park complex. Though early plans called for staffing these latter two facilities with park and forest employees, the final plan omitted this reference and implied that they would simply complement each other.
Recommendations for ski-area developments were noticeably missing from the plan, although their proposed development near the park, in the recreation areas or adjacent national forest lands, had been one of the main reasons behind the joint study. Roger Contor reported that the team had trouble finding any sites for a ski area close to Highway 20. The only option within the park complex was Ruby Mountain, and team members ruled it out because its slopes were too steep, thus ending the threat of ski area development in the new parkland.  The Forest Service's winter sports study expressed little optimism about developing ski areas in the future, too. The Forest Service looked at thirteen sites on three national forests and concluded that only one, Sandy Butte near Winthrop, possessed the "necessary physical characteristics for ski development." The agency, accordingly, recommended that the ski-area industry concentrate on developing existing sites, like Mt. Baker, Stevens Pass, and Crystal Mountain. It also recommended that the operators should improve the physical appearance of these and other ski areas through natural landscaping in order to maintain a scenic appearance year round.
In what seemed to be an uncharacteristic emphasis on scenic preservation, the Forest Service appeared to be taking some bold steps compared to past management practices that would ultimately benefit the park's protection. In its plan, the agency expressed that its guiding philosophy was "the preservation of outstanding scenic resources, the careful management for natural beauty of the corridors and approach routes to the scenic core of the North Cascades, and the recreational development of the area to provide a maximum of diversified recreational opportunities." Hence, the report proposed to establish three roadless areas and nine scenic areas, totaling some 800,000 acres, around the perimeter of the park complex.
The joint study also shed some light on the nature of Forest Service and Park Service relations in the wake of the park's establishment. Thrown together by law, park and forest officials put aside their past differences and entered, at least officially, into a new "spirit of cooperation." Superintendent Contor expressed a genuine respect and admiration for Chriswell; he and his staff worked closely with the forest supervisor during the transition phase of the park's early management.
The planning process, however, revealed some internal struggles within the Forest Service following the loss of the North Cascades. Chriswell believed that his agency had lost the North Cascades because "We sat on our hands," and failed to give the public a clear understanding of how the Forest Service would manage the range for outdoor recreation. Indecision plagued the agency. "We find ourselves in a serious predicament with the public," he told the regional forester. "They have been anxiously watching what we are going to do with this scenic mountain area (the great beauty of the North Cascades does not stop at the National Park boundary) as a result of the National Park Act." The forest supervisor urged his superior to approve the new recreation plan -- or make some firm decision on the direction the forests would move in. Otherwise, strained relations with both industry representatives and preservation groups would grow. The former had already criticized the agency's plan for reducing timber production and accused the bureau of acting "like the Park Service," while the latter had protested that the agency was not guaranteeing enough scenic protection. Without a strong stand, the Forest Service stood to lose perhaps more land, as the recent Mount Baker legislation suggested. Chriswell's emphasis on scenic protection could be interpreted as an attempt to redirect the management of the national forests around the park complex to more closely align with outdoor recreation interests and Park Service principles.

Calls to helplines for all department’s services will be toll-free by the end of 2017
Calls to the Universal Credit helpline cost up to 9p a minute from landlines and as much as 55p from mobiles
The government is to scrap the call charges of up to 55p a minute for using the Universal Credit helplines.
The Department for Work and Pensions today announced that, from next month, using phone lines to make or update a claim for Universal Credit will be free of charge. By the end of 2017 the department will also scrap charges for telephone support for all its other services.
The Universal Credit helpline, which is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, is an 0345 number, meaning it costs up to 9p a minute to call it from a landline, and between 3p and 55p a minute from mobiles.
The government has faced calls to scrap these charges, most notably from opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who raised the issue in last week’s Prime Minister’s Questions.
- Interview: DWP’s Mayank Prakash on AI, DevOps, and working with GDS
- DWP seeks £130k tech chief to lead digital service delivery and major hybrid cloud rollout
- Interview: DWP’s Kit Collingwood-Richardson on One Team Government and bridging Whitehall’s digital divide
Today, the DWP announced that the “Universal Credit customer telephone lines will be the first to become freephone in November”.
“The department will inform customers and partners of new freephone numbers in advance of these changes,” the department added. “Freephone numbers will be rolled out to all remaining DWP customer phone services by the end of the year. Further details will be released in due course.”
Some 99% of claims for Universal Credit are made online, the DWP said, and claimants can “engage with their work coach” using their online account, according to work and pensions secretary David Gauke. Users can also take advantage of the free computers and WiFi available at job centres, Gauke added.
He said: “Our work coaches support anyone who needs extra help with their online account, but we want to make the process as burden-free as possible, including for people who use our telephone service. That’s why we are making all our customer phone lines free to use.”
The government is now facing further calls to refund charges already made for calling the Universal Credit helpline, including from Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley.
He tweeted: “Should never have been a charge in the first place – refunding bills [is] a first step towards undoing [the] damage government has inflicted.”
Today the Commons plays host to a debate on whether the rollout of the Universal Credit programme should be paused to allow for remedial changes to be made. The scheme is ultimately intended to bring together and supplant six different benefits: Child Tax Credit; Housing Benefit; Income Support; income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance; income-related Employment and Support Allowance; and Working Tax Credit.

Most people who buy a new car, electronic device or music album online want to enjoy the purchase as long as possible, but researchers have discovered something that decreases our satisfaction more quickly.
The investigators conducted a series of seven experiments in which consumers used a product over a period of time, and they found that enjoyment of the experience declined faster for people who were aware of the product's price. Their findings are available online in the Journal of Consumer Psychology.
"Being reminded of the price makes the experience less relaxing," says Kelly Haws, PhD, a professor at Vanderbilt University and lead author of the study. "This is due to the fact that we tend to evaluate the experience more critically when it's associated with money."
In one experiment, participants selected five songs online and listened to each song three times. One group saw the song's price of 99 cents as they were listening, but the price was not listed for the other group. Then the participants rated the songs on a scale of 1 to 100. After listening the first time, both groups gave most songs a rating of approximately 80. After listening the third time, the group with price awareness had dropped to a rating of about 30, while the other group had only dropped to 60.
"The negative effect of pricing only emerged over time, not at the beginning," Haws says.
The researchers had similar findings when participants retrieved M&Ms from a gumball machine. When people saw the price of the M&Ms on the machine, their enjoyment of the snack dropped more quickly over time.
For consumers, the findings suggest that people will enjoy an experience longer if they avoid focusing on the price.
"If you are going on a date, don't talk about the cost," Haws says. "Or if you are going to an amusement park where the lines are long, thinking too much about the price of admission will steal away from your enjoyment of the experience."
For marketers, the study suggests that it may be beneficial to separate the price of a product from the experience. This could prevent consumer burnout, which leads people to stop buying a product and switch to another one.
The study also has implications for people who are actually trying to stop enjoying an experience. For example, people who are trying to eat less junk food or cut down on spending may benefit from focusing on prices more often.

I Saw him Standing
Under the dark trees, there he stands,
there he stands; shall he not draw my eyes?
I though I knew a little
how he compels, beyond all things, but now
he stands there in the shadows. It will be
Oh, such a daybreak, such bright morning,
when I shall wake to see him
as he is.
He is called Rose of Sharon, for his skin
is clear, his skin is flushed with blood,
his body lovely and exact; how he compels
beyond ten thousand rivals. There he stands,
my friend, the friend of guilt and helplessness,
to steer my hollow body
over the sea.
The earth is full of masks and fetishes,
What is there here for me? are these like him?
Keep company with him and you will know:
no kin, no likeness to those empty eyes.
He is a stranger to them all, great Jesus.
What is there here for me? I know
what I have longed for. Him to hold

Temple Ark is the home to the God Key.
History[edit | edit source]
Amira, a half-angel/half-demon, invaded Temple Ark and stole the God Key. The gods promptly began hunting her down and once the Orleans Knights managed to drag Amira back to the royal castle, the gods realized they had no choice but to leave Amira (who is essentially the God Key itself now) at the castle, for her demon blood would prevent her from remaining at the Ark.
Temple Ark was also one of the locations used to store a piece of Dromos, an ancient weapon of mass destruction. Charioce XVII invaded Temple Ark for one of these pieces, and slew every god guarding it.

Mood board: The fashion world is divided in two groups: those who like maximalist Dries and those who prefer it when he keeps it nice and minimal. Both of them get what they want on a regular basis but, on the whole, this one was for the over-the-top Dries lovers. This season, the Belgian designer went back to a world of decadent sequins, colour juxtapositions and louche layered foulards. This season's Dries girl is, as the brand states, 'Cocktails at five, addicted to fun, elegance and artifice'. Fittingly, she will wear nothing but the most decadent and chic – satin dresses, scarves nonchalantly pieced together, brocade trousers, transparent chiffon skirts with slits and bejewelled tops worn under slouchy, robe-like coats. And without a doubt, that style agrees with her. For all who yearn for minimal Dries, it is impossible to admit that the designer is always at his most brilliant when playing with lavishness.
Scene setting: After last season's escape to Bercy for his 100th show, this time it was back to Hôtel de Ville, the palace in the centre of Paris holding the mayor's offices. Etienne Russo, Dries' longtime friend and collaborator, knows the designer like no other, and decided the perfect setting for a decadent and optimist collection would be this baroque building full of colour-blown frescoes, gilded furniture and exaggerated crystal chandeliers. Paris showgoers know the place well (Dries shows there regularly and recently Vivienne Westwood and Bouchra Jarrar for Lanvin took a liking to the venue). Nevertheless, its luxury 'à la française' never fails to impress.
Finishing touches: The accessories could be the highlight here– those chunky-heeled, brocade knee-high boots in golden shades, the casual slip-on sandals and the strass chandelier earrings were all irresistibly appealing. But it was the hair and make up that really got us going. No need for lipstick or eyeshadow here; when Dries says 'luxury' he really means it, and in terms of beauty that translates as crystals all over the eyes, the lips and even the hair. They were not big or too present, but just about enough to send a glittering spark across the catwalk. The audience were left wishing they had those almost as much as they wished for a foulard satin dresses.

No, they lots the rights to dub it. The can play the seasons they've already dubbed 'til the cows come home, but they don't want to, obviously.
And yes, the replacement is their new show, Cubix.
Cubix is anything but new. the show originally premiered in 2001 and ran until 2003. 4Kids doesn't have any money to dub new shows, so their "all new" toonzai programming block is stuff that's been done by other companies or by 4Kids several years ago. i think the newest thing showing on there is...magical doremi? or dinosaur king. i don't really know.
I believe the toonzai line up consists of the following: Magical Doremi, Dinosaur King, Cubix, YuGiOh, Dragonball Z Kai, Sonic X, and Viva Pinata.

Carole P. Roman's new series on different historical periods throughout the world also includes a book on Colonial America. As usual, there are tons of facts and details, including the clothing, foods, and housing used by the early colonists. Carole describes a typical family, explaining the home they would have lived in, the social customs, and the education the children would receive. She compares the conditions the family has left behind in England to what the new colony had to offer (not much - no stores, no existing houses, etc.). She includes information about how the colonists interacted with the Wampanoag tribe, the signing of the Mayflower Compact to govern the colony, and the first Thanksgiving.
Carole explains the disagreements over religion and how the national religious practices changed depending on the ruling monarch. With a simple description of the major changes brought about by Henry VIII and the later migration of Protestants to the Dutch Netherlands, she leads up to the reasons why many families were willing to take the chance of moving to the North American wilderness. The hardships of that first winter with minimal shelter, then the struggle to grow food and learn to hunt and fish in this new land are included in the narrative.
At the back of the book there is a section with brief descriptions of famous people such as Pocahontas, Myles Standish, and Peter Minuit. And there is a glossary of terms to help out readers who may not be familiar with jerkins, petticoats, or poppets.
A nice introduction to young readers who are curious about the past and important time periods and people. This series gives a broad overview of each period and location, and enough specifics to answer basic questions while also giving facts that can lead to further research. This will fit in well with elementary school social studies lessons on early North American colonists.
I received a copy of the book from the author for review purposes.

A 2005 study in the International Journal of Cardiology found that mobile phones may have "adverse effects" on pacemaker functions under certain conditions.  According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), radiofrequency energy from cell phones can create electromagnetic interference (EMI) that may disrupt the functioning of pacemakers, especially if the cell phone is placed close to the heart.  The American Heart Association includes cell phones on its list of "devices that may interfere with pacemakers."

The animals were exposed to an access point (AP) from WIFI device (D-Link DWL-3200 AP with 802.11 g mode and WPA2 network protection) as previously described in Salah et al. (2013). WIFI integrated two omnidirectional antennas that were setup for internet broadcast via wireless at 2.45 GHz. The sham control rabbits were placed under the same condition without applying RF (0 Hz). Antennas of WIFI were placed at 25 cm at the right side near the heart (animal in dorsal decubitus).
Conclusions: Based on the extensive body of research and the adverse health effects demonstrated in the majority of the studies, it is recommended that steps should be taken to minimize RF radiation exposure in accordance with official recommendations. Wired solutions should be given preference. Current exposure limits and SAR values do not protect from health risks associated with Wi-Fi radiation. The adverse effects on learning, attention, and behavior serve as a basis for educational institutions of all age groups to forgo the use of Wi-Fi applications. Due to cytotoxic effects, Wi-Fi technologies are not suitable for hospitals and telemedicine. Wi-Fi technologies should not be used in bedrooms, work spaces, common lounges, hospital rooms, lecture halls, classrooms, and public transport. The possible risks associated with Wi-Fi radiation could be avoided by testing alternative technologies at other frequency bands like optical VLC/Li-Fi technologies (visible light communication). When Wi-Fi cannot be avoided as a transition solution, the ALARA principle must be applied: no continuous transmission, instead Wi-Fi networks that can be turned off and feature dynamic power management.
Listeria monocytogenes ... was recognized as the main cause of neonatal infection, meningitis, and sepsis. Listeria infection in adult patients is related to immunocompromised systems like HIV infection, organ transplants, individuals who have received corticosteroids, and immunosuppressant drugs for their malignancies. Escherichia coli known as E coli is a common cause of life-threatening infections such as bloodstream and urinary tract infections, otitis media, and other complications.
This is extremely controversial but we can’t ignore that plenty of animal models indicate that exposure to electromagnetic radiation increases the risk of tumor development. While human studies are rare, reports and case studies abound. One such case involves a young 21-year-old woman who developed breast cancer. What makes this case unique was that her family did not have a predisposition to breast cancer… and she developed the tumor right on the spot she carried her cell phone in her bra.
“If you’re experiencing eye discomfort, make your phone’s font size bigger. Mark Rosenfield, O.D., Ph.D., told Men’s Health that phone users should try to hold their phones at least 16 inches away from their faces. Every few minutes look up from your screen at something far away for short breaks, and don’t forget to blink.” – Amanda Hawkins, 5 Seriously Bad Side Effects of Your Smartphone Addiction, Good Housekeeping; Twitter: @goodhousemag
In addition, electrical and electronic devices of all kinds emit EM fields around their working circuits, generated by oscillating currents. Humans are in daily contact with computers, video display monitors, television screens, microwave ovens, fluorescent lamps, electric motors of several kinds (such as washing machines, kitchen appliances [like electric can openers, blenders, and mixers], water pumps, etc.) and many others. A study of bedroom exposure in 2009 showed the highest ELF-EF from bedside lights and the highest ELF-MF from transformer devices, while the highest RF-ELF came from DECT cordless phones and outside cellphone base stations; all exposures were well below International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guideline levels.
“When symptoms are not addressed comprehensively– for example, using symptom amelioration without simultaneous elimination of exposure – cell membrane adverse reaction and damage continue to occur while the patient is assuming the cause of the problem has been eliminated. This lulls patients into a false sense of security, causing them to aggravate their exposures through the increased use of their wireless devices. When the damage reaches a critically harmful level, even the symptom amelioration can no longer be sustained by the damaged cells.”
It’s been suggested that sleeping near a phone, in a home with Wi-Fi, or in an apartment building with many Wi-Fi signals can create chronic sleep problems as the constant bombardment of Wi-Fi pollution interferes with falling asleep and sleep patterns. For many, sleep deprivation is just the start for larger problems. The development of depression and hypertension have also been linked to inadequate sleep.
35. Check your child’s cell phone records. “Review cell phone records for any unknown numbers and late night phone calls and texts.” While it may feel as though you’re snooping on your kids, reviewing their calling and texting records can help you identify warning signs such as strange calling patterns or unfamiliar numbers that could indicate that your child is communicating with someone they shouldn’t be such as a potential predator. – Help children use cell phones safely, NetSmartz Workshop; Twitter: @NetSmartz
Long-term exposure to Radio Frequency waves or microwave radiation has long been studied and shown to produce all sorts of adverse health effects. See my post on EMF Radiation Exposure Symptoms for a full list of common symptoms. Even the American Cancer Society, who in large part will not fully say that EMF radiation causes long-term harm, and instead errs on the side of not enough research, admits on their website, that:
This is true…. i feltmore awake after using wi fi& even struggled to sleep through d night .it was like something very hard holding my consuntration power of mind…i was addicted of using wi fi.conditions r stable & im well now……this is nothing but just a future danger that will not allow u to consuntrate on ur own mind &body…wifi is bloddy monster addiction but i m out of it though the blessings of spiritual lord….I LOVE U WAHEGURU JI
A closer look reveals the industry’s sleight of hand. When Henry Lai, the professor whom Carlo tried to get fired, analyzed 326 safety-related studies completed between 1990 and 2005, he learned that 56 percent found a biological effect from cell-phone radiation and 44 percent did not; the scientific community apparently was split. But when Lai recategorized the studies according to their funding sources, a different picture emerged: 67 percent of the independently funded studies found a biological effect, while a mere 28 percent of the industry-funded studies did. Lai’s findings were replicated by a 2007 analysis in Environmental Health Perspectives that concluded industry-funded studies were two and a half times less likely than independent studies to find a health effect.23
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 2.45-GHz electromagnetic radiation (60min/day for 4 weeks) on the oxidant and antioxidant status of skin and to examine the possible protective effects of β-glucans (50 mg/kg/day before each EMR exposure) against the oxidative injury in male rats. EMR exposure caused a significant increase in malondialdehyde levels and catalase activity, while the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase decreased in skin tissues. Systemic β-glucan significantly reversed the elevation of MDA levels and the reduction of SOD activities. β-glucan treatment also slightly enhanced the activity of CAT and prevented the depletion of GSH-Px activity caused by EMR, but not statistically significantly. The present study demonstrated the role of oxidative mechanisms in EMR-induced skin tissue damages and that β-glucan could ameliorate oxidative skin injury via its antioxidant properties.
The advent of Wi-Fi connected high technology devices in executing day-to-day activities is fast evolving especially in developing countries of the world and hence the need to assess its safety among others. The present study was conducted to investigate the injurious effect of radiofrequency emissions from installed Wi-Fi devices in brains of young male rats. Animals were divided into four equal groups; group 1 served as control while groups 2, 3, and 4 were exposed to 2.5 Ghz at intervals of 30, 45, and 60 consecutive days with free access to food and water ad libitum. Alterations in harvested brain tissues were confirmed by histopathological analyses which showed vascular congestion and DNA damage in the brain was assayed using agarose gel electrophoresis. Histomorphometry analyses of their brain tissues showed perivascular congestion and tissue damage as well.
41. Use a monitoring service for your child’s phone. “One option [for keeping your kids safer while allowing them to use a cell phone or smartphone] is a phone or monitoring service that provides parental controls. Parental controls let your parents control how and when you use your cell phone, and who is able to contact you. (You and your parents can determine the rules together.) With parental controls, you won’t have to worry about receiving unwanted calls or texts—or the temptation to text during science class!” – Jennifer Dignan, Cell Phone Safety Helpful Tips for Kid Communications, Scholastic Teachers; Twitter: @ScholasticTeach
A group of 30 healthy volunteers, 15 men and 15 women, were given a simple memory test. First, the entire group was tested without any exposure to Wi-Fi radiation — no problem. Then, they were exposed to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi from a wireless access point for about 45 minutes. During that portion of the testing, brain activity was measured and the women had a noticeable change in brain activity and energy levels.  Sorry ladies! But guys, don’t get too comfortable…
In the EMR groups, lipid peroxidation levels in the brain and liver were increased following EMR exposure; however, the glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and vitamin A, vitamin E and -carotene concentrations were decreased in the brain and liver. Glutathione (GSH) and vitamin C concentrations in the brain were also lower in the EMR groups than in the controls; however, their concentrations did not change in the liver.
The present study was designed to determine the possible protective effects of melatonin on oxidative stress-dependent testis injury induced by 2.45-GHz electromagnetic radiation exposure (60 min/day for 30 days). Lipid peroxidation levels were shown to be higher in melatonin-supplemented group compared to EMR only and controls, as well as reduced glutathione and glutathione peroxidase levels. Vitamin A and E concentrations decreased in exposure group, and melatonin prevented the decrease in vitamin E levels. In conclusion, wireless (2.45 GHz) EMR caused oxidative damage in testis by increasing the levels of lipid peroxidation and decreasing in vitamin A and E levels. Melatonin supplementation prevented oxidative damage induced by EMR and also supported the antioxidant redox system in the testis.
The present study examined the biological effects of continuous wave 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (2h/day for 30 days) in Parkes strain mice. The results show that microwave radiation caused an increase in erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, a significant DNA strand break in brain cells and the loss of spatial memory in mice. This report for the first time provides experimental evidence that continuous exposure to low intensity microwave radiation may have an adverse effect on the brain function by altering circadian system and rate of DNA damage.
Now, what if I took that already precious treasure and stuck it in case that substantially increased the accumulation of value in one place by adding my driver’s license, MetroCard, ATM card, and credit card to the package? What if such a case made it possible to combine the pain of losing my phone with the inconvenience of losing my wallet in a brief moment of carelessness? We need not wonder, because that’s exactly what a wallet case does.
All of our wallet phone cases are made from premium materials to protect your phone and make sure they last as long as possible. We design our wallet cases to fit the phone exactly, providing the maximum amount of protection without adding too much bulk to the phone. We do drop test all of the wallet phone cases before release to ensure they’re design and materials will provide the protection your phone needs in case of accidental drops or falls. We want you to be able to have the phone case you want without worrying about the durability or whether it’ll really protect your phone when you’re out having fun.
There has been no rise in the rate of brain cancers despite a massive increase in the use of cell phones. If cell phones were causing cancer we could expect a significant rise in the rate of brain and other related cancers. According to the National Cancer Institute, there was no increase in the incidence of brain or other nervous system cancers between the years 1987 and 2005 despite the fact that cell phone use dramatically increased during those same years.  Between 2004 and 2010 there was still no significant change in the incidence rate of brain tumors. Between 2004 and 2010 there was a slight increase from 209 cases to 221.8 cases per 100,000 people, but this slight increase was attributed to better tracking and recording of cases.  During the same time period, cell phone use increased 62.7% from 182,140,362 subscribers in 2004 to 296,285,629 in 2010.
Turn Off WiFi Before Bed: This is one of our favorites in our Tech Wellness Top 10 easy ways to make wireless safer: We call it our Wi-Fi Kill-switch so you don't have to get close the Router. It's as important as WiFi Router placement. The simple step of hitting the off switch can lead to a better night’s sleep. Or, try this timer that can shut or kill that nasty Wifi energy any time of day or night. When on, a WiFi signal may interfere with our brains during sleep, so by turning it off we reduce exposure and hopefully rest more deeply.

Wireless devices run on radio waves. Antennas emit varying levels of radio frequencies (RFs) that at some point are absorbed into the human body. The measurement of absorption, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), is an indicator of this absorption. What’s the SAR of a cell phone? The FCC requires that all models of cell phones sold in the U.S. fall below 1.6 watts per kilogram. If you’re confused by the complex science, you’re not alone.
Electromagnetic fields have been shown to disrupt melatonin production. In turn, sleep and overall health are disrupted. Charge your phone in another room. If you must be available to loved ones during the night, keep a corded phone next to your bed, or keep the cell phone on the other side of the room. (See more about safe sleeping in the post Sleep, Melatonin and Electronic Devices.)
These studies are not definitive. Much more research is needed. But they raise serious questions that cast doubt on the adequacy of the FCC rules to safeguard public health. The FCC emissions cap allows 20 times more radiation to reach the head than the body as a whole, does not account for risks to children’s developing brains and smaller bodies and considers only short-term cell phone use, not frequent calling patterns over decades.
In 2015, the European Commission Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks concluded that, overall, the epidemiologic studies on cell phone radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation exposure do not show an increased risk of brain tumors or of other cancers of the head and neck region (2). The Committee also stated that epidemiologic studies do not indicate increased risk for other malignant diseases, including childhood cancer (2).
Increasingly, more people are reporting symptoms associated with WiFi radiation, or non-ionizing radiation, such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and loss of concentration. Some governments and public bodies are choosing to take precautionary measures, as this topic continues to be studied, by banning or regulating WiFi in public places and schools.
“In addition to protecting your phone from scratches and breaks, a basic case can help conceal a distinctive phone’s telltale markings. That’s a detriment if you’re trying to show off your handset’s badass styling, but a benefit for maintaining a lower profile. Note: Even though they look better, a flashy designer case is like sticking a “steal me” marquee on your phone.” – Jessica Dolcourt, Keep Your Phone from Getting Stolen (and What to Do If It Is), CNET; Twitter: @CNET

Back in Week 8, the Las Vegas Raiders allowed just six points against the Cleveland Browns. While we knew the weather conditions aided them, we didn’t know how much. After giving up 26 points in Week 8, we now know their defensive stand against the Browns was an outlier.
The Raiders can’t stop opposing offenses
The Raiders defense is a liability, there’s no way around that. The unit had given up at least 30 points in five of their last seven games. Things took a surprising turn when they surrendered a mere six points against the Browns. However, the group surrendered 440 total yards and 27 points against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.
Giving up 400 yards isn’t that bad, a defense can let an offense move as long as it doesn’t score. The problem is that the Raiders are allowing both yards and points in chunks. It’s true that they have dealt with injuries but every team does, it’s an inherent part of the sport. They can blame injuries and lack of execution by players but the coaching staff has to become accountable at some point.
Related:Â Raiders Slowly Moving Past ‘Middle of the Pack’ Rankings
Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Hebert moved the ball with ease and had no trouble finding his wide receivers. The Oregon standout is talented, but he shouldn’t have been able to shred the Raiders secondary the way he did. The Raiders defensive front sacked him twice, but the unit as a whole couldn’t stop him from scoring.
The Raiders should be pleased about their 5-3 record and their ability to put points on the scoreboard. Nevertheless, they should be concerned with their defense. Their formula to win games has worked so far, but it won’t always work. While the results haven’t been the best, there is enough time for the coaching staff to make changes if they want to make a deep playoff run.

3 thoughts on “Raiders’ Formula to Win Games Is Working But Not Sustainable”
LAC are the number 2 offence in the NFL right now, did anyone really expect the Raiders to shut them out?
The Chargers have scored points on every single team they have played. Maybe thatâ€™s why they are the 2nd ranked offense. They took the chiefs to OT!! Why canâ€™t you low budget blog writers with no football coaching or playing experience focus on the positives?? We beat a team that could easily be 6-2 and all you can do is steady say what all other nay sayers say. Is it style points that matter or wins??? FOH
That rookie has been shredding defenses all season long so expecting the Raiders D too shut them down like they did Baker and the Browns is just not realistic. The author of this article should write more from facts and not an uneducated opinion.

The currency markets also appear to have taken heart from the $15.2 billion attracted through the FCNR(B) and Tier I capital schemes, which experts say would have a salutary effect on the markets given it buffers the RBIs reserves. Economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram told newspersons that approximately 30-40% of oil dollar demand has returned to the markets adding additional demand would be balanced by dollar inflows. Strong dollar inflows through the FCNR window and the Tier 1 capital route and export realisations will help strengthen the rupee, Mayaram observed. With this, the process of normalising the foreign exchange markets has begun.
The currency slipped to levels of 62.76 intra-day, a five-week low but closed at 62.41/$, unchanged over Wednesdays close when it lost 1.2%, with OMCs starting to pick up a part of their dollar requirements from the market. The rupee has weakened 1.47% over the last five days, primarily due to the strengthening of the dollar, much in line with other emerging market currencies like the Indonesian rupiah, the Turkish lira and the South African rand which have also lost 1-2%.
Hitendra Dave, MD and head of global markets at HSBC, pointed out that the central bank had reiterated oil demand would be brought back into the market in a calibrated manner. A knee-jerk reaction on the currency may not be warranted, Dave observed. NS Venkatesh, treasurer at IDBI Bank believes the rupee should settle in a range of 61-62.50/$ as oil demand will be balanced by strong FII flows into the equity markets and a pick-up in exports.
Indranil Sen Gupta, India economist, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch said in a recent report that it was imperative to arrest the falling import cover which has halved to seven months in the past five years, well below the 8-10 months critical for rupee stability. In late August, the RBI had opened a special swap window to supply dollars directly to OMCs after the rupee fell to an all- time low of 68.8250/$. Since then, the currency has recovered 9.3%.
Meanwhile, although it raised concerns about additional fiscal expenditure in the form of increased food subsidies under the Food Security Bill, S&P said Indias external position is an element of strength for the rating, albeit some fragilities. As of the end of March 2013, Indias foreign currency reserves covered about six months of current account payments. External debt net of liquid assets equaled only 9% of current account receipts (CAR), and the broader measure of net external liabilities to CAR was a bit higher at 53%. These indicators suggest that India does not face the same degree of risks in maintaining the confidence of external creditors as that faced by some other countries at a similar stage of development with more open financial accounts, the agency noted.
India imported $156.97 billion worth crude oil and products in 2012-13 but the net import bill stood at $98.14 billion after accounting for product exports. Economists apprehended that providing dollars directly to OMCs will eat into Indias forex reserves which stood at $285 billion as on October 25, according to data released by the RBI. While some of the pressure on reserves has eased due to inflows of more than $15 billion via two special swap windows opened by the RBI in early October, these facilities are due to close on November 30. Under these facilities, the RBI had allowed banks to raise Foreign Currency Non Resident Deposits (FCNR) and tier 1 capital and swap it at the RBI at concessional swap rates.The addition to reserves will provide comfort to the Rupee as it allows RBI greater room to intervene if needed, said Venkatesh of IDBI Bank.Forex Reserves which had slipped to $274 billion as on September 6, have risen by roughly $ 8 billion since then, which may be partly attributable to valuation effects.

Two teams playing some good ball as of last continue a divisional series when the first-place Royals and surging White Sox meet at the Cell Saturday afternoon. How are we betting this game?
Royals-White Sox Saturday Betting Odds
Most books we sampled opened Chicago and Jose Quintana at around -120 over Kansas City and Jeremy Guthrie, then bumped that price about a dime in the early betting. As of this writing the best line we could find on the Sox was the -129 offered at BetOnline, while the Royals could be found getting +127 at GTBets. And most of today's MLB betting market was posting a total of 8.5 on today's game.
These teams began this four-game series by splitting a double-header Friday; KC took Game 1 during the afternoon 4-2, while Chicago took the nightcap 2-0. Both those games played UNDER their totals.
The Sox, meanwhile, have won 10 of their last 14, and at 42-46 sit just six games behind Houston in the battle for the second American League wild-card spot.
KC leads this season series five games to three, with the totals leaning toward the UNDERS by a 5-2-1 margin.
Quintana (4-9, 3.69), by our strict standards, is 12-for-18 on quality starts this season, working on a run of three in a row. Last Sunday he held the Cubs to three runs through 7 1/3 innings, walking none while whiffing nine, and over his last three starts he's allowed six runs through 21 1/3 innings, with zero walks and 25 strikeouts. On the season Quintana has permitted 121 hits through 115 innings, walked 26 and struck out 101; Chicago is 7-11 in Quintana's starts, while the totals have skewed UNDER by a 13-5 margin, indicating he's been pitching in some bad luck.
Since the beginning of last season Quintana has started six times against Kansas City, giving up 22 runs and 50 hits through 39 2/3 innings; the Sox only won one of those games.
Guthrie (7-5, 5.36) is just six-for-17 on quality starts this year, but two for his last three. Ten days ago he gave up four runs - three earned - in six innings against Tampa, and over his last three starts he's allowed seven ER through 19 1/3 innings. For the season Guthrie has given up 115 hits through 96 innings, while compiling a mediocre strikeouts/walks ratio of 50/28; still, the Royals are 11-6 in Guthrie's starts, with the totals going 8-7.
Guthrie started five times against the Chicago White Sox last year, allowing 10 runs and 25 hits through 31 1/3 innings; KC won four of those games, while three of those games played UNDER.
Saturday's Batting Splits
Kansas City ranks fifth in the Majors this season against left-handed pitching with a .267 team batting average, and 13th with a .319 team on-base percentage.
Chicago, meanwhile, ranks 22nd against right-handed pitching with a .245 average and 24th with a .302 team OBP.
Ballpark Totals Factor
Games played at the Cell this season have skewed toward the UNDERS by a lopsided 31-10 margin, averaging just 6.5 runs per.
Saturday's Free MLB Picks
Quintana owns the edge in the pitching match-up, but Guthrie owns the better recent track record against today's opponents. So we believe the value on today's line resides with Kansas City. Also, these teams played a pair of UNDERS yesterday, and our guess is today's game will play out similarly.

The early futon mattresses consisted of a duck twill covering and were often filled with straight cotton batting. While soft and pretty comfortable, the issue with straight batting is that it would mat down quickly. Manufacturers developed a better design in adding convoluted and straight higher density foam cores into the mattress designs and this much improved the longevity of the futon mattresses. Innerspring mattresses were introduced later and added a feel that was more closely associated with conventional furniture for consumers who liked the idea of futons but desired the feeling and support of springs.

This flexibility in being able to change from a sofa to a bed in no time is especially slick for those who do not want to invest in an extra bed for occasional guests or for those who simply do not have room for extra furniture. They come in up to queen sizes and work just fine for daily use as a bed too.

They add a classy feel to homes with their unique stylish looks that will make them an integral part of any home décor. Even better, consumers need not stick to the look in which the futon first came. You can choose to buy various futon covers in brilliant designs and vibrant colors. The ability to periodically buy different covers and change the entire look of the futon furniture is a great advantage over any normal sofa.

Then, an end table can be placed in the corner, and a three seat futon can be placed at the long end of the room. This creates a sectional look out of individual pieces of furniture that are more functional separately than a traditional sectional.

This creates additional space for a dorm room or a child's room. As a couch, students can use the futon to entertain or watch TV. Then they can open it for guests to sleep on.

Modern futons include different styles, and some of these types of futons may not be what the person is looking for. It is important to see a picture of the item or view it in person before buying it to make sure it is the type of futon that the buyer has in mind.

Are you looking for something for your guest bedroom? A sofa that can convert into a bed when company's over? Would you like a beautiful piece of furniture for your small space? Maybe your door way is not wide enough to get that expensive sofa through? If you've asked yourself any of those questions, a futon is for you.

Whether it was softwoods or hardwoods, the frames featured good fundamental designs made from solid wood. These futon frames would incorporate new working mechanisms and ideas in operation that made futons appealing not only in their design but in the quality of materials and construction that went into them. The futon industry was doing well and growing with these frames heading into the 1990's but then the black metal futon frame came onto the scene.

While not as common as the other problems this issue still led to the failure of many black metal frames. The hinges were attached to the arms of the futon frames with two bolts and two nuts. While this design was OK the hinges themselves would fail when too much weight was applied to one side or the other. These would also bend out rendering them useless in the operation of the futon.

Your New Mix


Former Promotions Director for The Arizona Folklore Preserve, BONNIE BROCK recalls her very first Travis Edmonson concert, then fast forwards to some incredible and memorable jam sessions in The New Century.
I am one of those lucky people who saw Travis Edmonson perform live. But that first Travis concert was not in the 50s or 60s or even the early to middle part of the 70s. It was sometime in the early 80s (probably within just a few months of his aneurysm and stroke). I felt privileged to witness such a great talent.
But I didn't see him again until August 2001, when Travis came to the Arizona Folklore Preserve where I work as a volunteer.
It was definitely “Travis Day” at the AFP. Rose and Dolan Ellis were very excited about the visit, and I too discovered what an absolutely charming man Travis Edmonson is. In fact, Travis and Rose Marie have been my friends ever since!
Rose Ellis greeting Travis at the AFP, August 2001
Dolan's program that day included several songs in tribute to Travis: “Scotch & Soda,” “I'm a Drifter,” and “Malaguena Salerosa.”
Dolan, Arizona's Official
State Balladeer and original member of the New Christy Minstrels, founded the Arizona Folklore Preserve south of Sierra Vista some years earlier, and he's clearly stated that when it came to role models for his singing style, Travis Edmonson was definitely the very first.
Later, for a newspaper article I was writing, I called Travis on the phone one afternoon, and we talked for a full hour. In the mean time, Travis and Rose Marie have stayed at my home, and I at theirs. We also meet often in Tucson, and I am regularly on hand when he co-hosts “Valley Views.” I've grown to admire Travis for his spirit, his humor, and his encouragement
of other artists.
It seems like there is almost always a jam session when I see Travis with other musicians. He always takes an active part in these, and is a great "audient" too. (Remember the line on the "In Person at the Cellar Door" album?)
I also recall a particular concert, after which the entire group sang “America the Beautiful” with Travis standing tall (he is very tall) and singing loud and beautifully as well.
We had an Arizona Folklore Preserve Road Show in Tucson in March 2003, and the management of the Radisson Hotel allowed us to have a jam session in the lobby after the show. The music went on for a couple of hours. About 1:30 AM, Travis announced that he wanted to sing for us. He had been working with Bill Kamper, giving Bill guitar lessons on Travis' favorite songs. They began with “Sin Ti,” then went on to “Rayito de Luna” and “I'm a Drifter.” Some of the other musicians joined in, and it was a great Travis moment.

The next day, Travis was eager for more jammin', and the occasion was a party at the home of one of the musicians who had performed at the Road Show, Tim Wiedenkeller
there is definitely a mutual admiration between Travis and Tim, one of the most talented musicians in Tucson, and third guest on “Valley Views “after Travis began co-hosting that TV show. It was altogether wonderful, especially when Tim shared his guitar with Travis. Tim played the chords while Travis did the famous huapango strum with his beautiful right hand, performing the song from Sonora, "A La Orilla De Un Palmar," after which Tim assured Travis that he would treasure the memory always.
In September 2003 Travis was kind enough to sing at some concerts and events in conjunction with my retirement from the Civil Service. Everyone understood that they were witnessing a great event as Travis sang an authentic Apache chant, then “Scotch and Soda” at the end of the first show, and a Travis original, “Wind Song,” at the end of the second.
As always, the dinner ended with a jam session. A young friend of mine, Elena Garcia, 19, has a really beautiful voice and a promising career ahead of her. She loves to sing both the Mexican songs and jazz. Elena had been playing Travis' albums all her life, and was absolutely thrilled to meet him and sing with him.
People at the party who did not know who Elena was, watched the two of them together and decided she must be his granddaughter, because the two of them (despite the fact they'd never met before) had such a wonderful rapport and sang together so beautifully. A highlight of that evening was their "Malaguena Salerosa," with Dolan Ellis playing guitar (as he had learned from Travis more than 40 years before).
Part of the Travis Edmonson display at the Arizona Folklore Preserve
I think the Elena element of this story is significant because it illustrates so much about the value of Travis and his music. He has influenced dozens of musicians in his own, and the following generation. That he is admired by a whole new one is a special tribute to his legacy.
I've met many seasoned performers who admire Travis greatly, and are pleased to find that he is so active. But even more exciting, is the fact that younger musicians, who missed the Bud & Travis era, have become fans by listening to the CDs that are now available.
Travis has brought a lot of joy to my life, both through his timeless recordings and through his friendship. And I have to include Rose Marie in my tribute too, because she is one of the loveliest people I have ever known.
The dear friend of Travis, this website and its founder, passed away on January 22, 2011 after a brave battle with cancer.

Cee Lo Green versus Elton John: Who’s the puppet master?
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
For music fans of a certain age, the Cee Lo Green performance at the Grammy Awards brought a sense of deja vu: By design, the number evoked Elton John doing ‘Crocodile Rock’ on ‘The Muppet Show’ back in 1977.
Green’s catchy tune, referred to by Team Grammys as ‘The Song Otherwise Known as ‘Forget You,’’ was nominated in the record and song of the year categories, both won by Lady Antebellum and ‘Need You Now.’ (Dennis Prager can now sleep better at night.)
‘The Song ... ‘ did win for urban/alternative performance, but lost to ‘Bad Romance’ by Lady Gaga in the short-form music video category.
But shock of shocks, who knew that Cee Lo’s feathers and F-word -- with Gwyneth Paltrow writhing on his piano -- would be a more subtle flashback than the, um, ‘influence’ that Madonna‘s ‘Express Yourself’ apparently had on Lady Gaga‘s ‘Born This Way’ egg-stravaganza?
If you missed the Grammy Awards or the year 1977, see Elton’s performance above and Cee Lo’s down below -- then vote.
-- Christie D’Zurilla

Uritonnoir is a waterless urinal. It is a hybridization of two everyday objects, a urinal and a funnel. This eco-designed device is used either in public places during outdoor events, or in private gardens. L’Uritonnoir is a utensil to fill a volume of straw (carbon) with urine (nitrogen) in order to compost it over 6-12 months and convert it into humus. Once composted, it can be used as fertilizer for your plants and vegetables.
Individual installation in the backyard
3 straw bales are enough to allow the uritonnoir to be fitted. Over the months, the boots gradually sag. à supprimer Straw bales in contact with the soil are removed to make compost. We raise the uritonnoir to the right height (70cm for adults) and add a bale of straw at the top.
Installation during private festive events
The uritonnoir can be installed during festive events with family or friends … To complete the toilets in the house, you can also install uritonnoirs in your garden. After the event, the straw bales can be left on site for composting.
Installation in camping and lodging
The uritonnoir can be installed when camping, outdoors or near a lodge. To complete the toilets too far from certain camps, the uritonnoir alternative is relevant. From 3 uritonnoirs, you can choose to install them on large straw bales (Roundballer or Bigballer) A farmer can provide you with these straw bales. At the end of the season, the straw bales can be left on site to be composted or collected by the farmer who will place them on his composting platform.
Installation for tree climbing sites, Via ferrata …
On acrobatic adventure sites, it is sometimes difficult to install collective toilets. The uritonnoir easily responds to this constraint since it does not require any connection to the sewerage network. It is easy to route a few straw bales to the identified location to set up this solution.
Public installation during festive events or sporting events
Uritonnoir can be installed at festive events or outdoor sporting events.
The uritonnoir is a relevant solution to complement traditional sanitary equipment. At the end of the festival, the straw bales can remain on site to be composted or be collected by the farmer who will move them to his composting platform.
Installation on straw bales
Installation with small straw bales
Installation with big straw bales
Why a waterless urinal ?
A waterless urinal is a tool who use the mix straw (carbon)/urine (nitrogen), the increase of temperature, the bacterium and the soil microfauna to transform our externalities in compost.
Where can we install Uritonnoirs?
For individual use: in your garden!
For a shared use: family gathering, sport-event, festivals or campsite.
Why a plastic Uritonnoir ?
Uritonnoirs are made in polypropylene (same material as Ecocup®), souple plastic made to absorb shocks and avoid to break in case of fall. The polypropylene offers a sustainable solution. The Uritonnoirs can be reused after cleaning like Ecocups®.
How to define the quantity of Uritonnoirs?
Why doesn’t a well managed uritonnoir smell?
Urine which remains in contact with the straw means amoniac and smell reduction.
Then it is important to adapt the quantity of Uritonnoirs and Straw Bales to the number of visitors.
We count a maximum of 60 users per Uritonnoirs for 2-3 days to limit the risk of smell.
– It is better to maximise the number of Uritonnoirs on a bale to distribute urine all over the straw. Then, it is good to place 1 Uritonnoir per straw linear meter.
– It is advisable to install Uritonnoirs in the shade.
