- Step 6 – Serve warmed topped with the reserved bacon and shredded cheese. Enjoy!
- Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary for this crack chicken soup recipe. We like to cook on low but cooking on high works great too.
- Shred Chicken – Feel free to shred the chicken with a fork but we like to shred with a Stand Mixer. It shreds the chicken quick and easy to add back to the slow cooker.
- Stove Top – If you prefer, you can make this soup on the stove top in a Dutch Oven. I like to cook the chicken before hand and then add to the soup mixture to ensure it is cooked thoroughly. Allow the soup to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Cook the Bacon – Cook the bacon before adding it to the soup.

We look forward to celebrating music, the performing arts and a love of opera – so we’ll start with some real classics. Look out for Barber and Tosca! But first up is a concert with pieces chosen by you, our much loved and dearly missed audience.
When the musical Kärlek skonar ingen, based on songs by Håkan Hellström, takes over the Main Stage, we celebrate the city, life and love. And what better way to do that than with music by this beloved Gothenburg native.
In December we reach the final destination on our winding journey with the Wagner masterpiece Der Ring des Nibelungen. We’re immensely proud to have performed Gothenburg’s very first Ring Cycle. In the last part of the cycle, Götterdämmerung, we experience the twilight of the gods. The world sinks into ashes, and then re-emerges. But with Wagner even the downfall is breath-taking, mesmerizing and overwhelmingly beautiful.
After Wagner, it’s time for the Christmas season. We sincerely hope to see you at Julglitter och operakaos (Tinsel and Tumult), and of course at our spectacular Twelfth Night Concert and Ball.
This winter we finally welcome you to Herr Arnes penningar! Gösta Nystroem’s music meets Selma Lagerlöf’s hair-raising tale of violence, revenge and ghosts – set on the bleak and windswept Marstrand island off the Bohusland coast. When we performed this piece as a concert in 2017, the critics waxed lyrical. Now it’s back with full costumes and stage design and I promise you: this is something you don’t want to miss.
Don’t miss out on the concert Kvinnors röst (Let the voice be heard), the intimate show Champagnetårar (Champagne Tears) – a close-up encounter with Offenbach – or Boye & Hörberg, where poetry full of longing is accompanied by timeless music.
We end the season as we began it: with a declaration of love for opera, music and performing arts – something the Italians do so well. We bring you mediterranean warmth and a longing for Italy with Verdi’s Rigoletto and Donizetti’s Viva la mamma.
All this and much more will be on stage during this “fullknôkad” season. Let’s keep the doors open!
— Henning Ruhe, Artistic Director Opera/Drama

Cancers can be caused by a multitude of distinct genetic abnormalities, and each tumor is unique. Dozens of new targeted therapies have been developed in recent years, but the challenge of providing optimal care to cancer patients lies in the ability to match the genetic profile of the tumor to the most appropriate therapy.
Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enhanced the identification of hundreds of mutations that may contribute to disease progression, and the development of new diagnostic NGS assays is continually evolving. These assays can profile genetic mutations to enable precision diagnostics, personalized treatment selection, stratification of patients for clinical trials, and improved disease monitoring.
This white paper from LGC SeraCare describes the role reference materials play in developing and validating robust precision oncology assays that can perform with the accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility required for clinical use, as well as considerations for selecting the most appropriate provider of reference materials.

Over deze norm
The objective of this European Standard is to provide the RBI Framework (RBIF) and basic guideline for Risk-Based Inspection and Maintenance (RBIM) in hydrocarbon and chemical process industries, power generation and other industries. Although RBIF encompasses both inspection and maintenance, this document focuses primarily on RBI and its applicability within the context of RBIM. The RBIF thereby supports optimization of operations and maintenance as well as asset integrity management. The main goal of this European Standard is to facilitate the establishment of risk based inspection and maintenance programs in the industrial plants in a documented and efficient way, while, at the same time, legal regulations are complied with and safety, health, and environmental performance is maintained or improved. The RBIF addresses primarily the static containment equipment (e.g. tanks, piping), dynamic/rotating containment equipment (e.g. pumps, turbines, valves) and pressure relief devices, but can be extended to other types of equipment if appropriate. It addresses primary the equipment and/or systems in the in-service phase of the operation, but can be applied also in the, e.g. design-phase for analysis and determination of maintenance/inspection strategies or life extension phases. The RBIF approach can also be used to ensure that targets pertinent to health, safety and environment are achieved, providing that legislative requirements are implemented and the required actions are taken.

As chief executive and president of Cedars-Sinai Health System, Thomas Priselac heads the largest hospital complex not just in Los Angeles County but in the Western United States.
The flagship hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, has 886 licensed beds, more than 2,100 physicians and more than 14,700 full-time employees. The 2017-2018 fiscal year saw more than 50,000 patient admissions, nearly 800,000 outpatient visits and 91,000 emergency room visits.
Cedars-Sinai also operates Marina del Rey Hospital, with another 133 beds and more than 500 employees. And with Providence St. Joseph Health, Cedars jointly manages the Tarzana Medical Center, with another 249 beds. Cedars also is affiliated with the 533-bed Torrance Memorial Medical Center.
For the fiscal year ending in June 2018, Cedars-Sinai had total revenue of nearly $3.5 billion and a budget topping $3.1 billion.
Priselac, 68, has had a long executive career at Cedars-Sinai, joining the hospital 40 years ago and becoming president and chief executive in 1994.
Prior to Cedars, he was on the executive staff of Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh. He earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Washington and Jefferson College in Pennsylvania, and a master’s degree in public health, health services administration and planning from the University of Pittsburgh.
Priselac is an adjunct professor at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and is a board member of the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. He also serves on the boards of numerous civic organizations, including the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp.
Cedars-Sinai is far and away the top-ranked hospital in Los Angeles County by both the number of staffed beds and by net patient revenue. What is Cedars doing to maintain that top ranking?
Being the biggest has never been one of Cedars-Sinai’s goals. Our goal has and always will be striving for excellence in all we do to fulfill our mission.
The key to our success is our people — the physicians, nurses and all the other staff as well as our 3,000 volunteers. Our focus is on supporting them in every way possible, enabling them to do what they do best in the interest of our patients and the community.
Nonetheless, Cedars-Sinai has been on an expansion drive for several years now. What’s the strategy behind this effort and what’s the end goal?
Throughout Southern California, people tell us that they would like to have Cedars-Sinai-quality care available closer to where they live and work. And we also have been getting a lot of interest from other health care organizations and physicians in the region who want to affiliate with us in a variety of ways.
By expanding our accessibility, we are able to better meet our mission — serving the health care needs of Southern California — and offer more coordinated care throughout the region.
What were the major moves that Cedars made in 2019?
While many people still think of Cedars-Sinai just in terms of our flagship hospital, the reality is that we now offer both primary and specialty physician services in locations throughout the region.
In addition, our affiliation with Torrance Memorial (entered into in 2018 and expanded in 2019) and our joint venture in the Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center provide more ways for the public to benefit from Cedars-Sinai care.
We also recently announced that we will be rebuilding the Marina del Rey Hospital facility over the next several years so that it can better serve the community.
What other moves did Cedars-Sinai make in 2019?
We continued to expand our community benefit programs to increase access to health care in underserved communities throughout Los Angeles. For example, our Community Clinic Initiative provides grants and training to strengthen those crucial organizations, and our Behavioral Health Initiative provides financial support to 26 community organizations that provide direct mental health services.
And our Healthy Habits program offers ongoing health education and exercise programs at more than 30 Head Start and elementary school locations in underserved areas of Los Angeles.
Any expansion plans on tap for 2020?
We are continually asking ourselves how we can better meet the needs of the community. Sometimes that may be accomplished through geographic expansion (or) through an affiliation with another organization. At other times it may be accomplished through strengthening our existing facilities and programs.
For example, our medical research and education programs — developing new treatments and training the next generations of health care professionals — grew significantly in 2019 and will continue to expand in 2020.
What are some of your other goals for Cedars in the coming year?
While providing the best quality care will always be our primary goal, we are also committed to doing all we can to address the cost of health care.
In addition, there is increasing interest in using “virtual visit” technology to make care even more accessible. We have made big strides in all of these areas over the past several years and will continue to focus on them in 2020 and beyond.
You mentioned the cost of health care. What steps is Cedars planning to contain costs?
At Cedars, we are engaged in a continual reexamination of our processes and practices to identify simpler ways to provide the highest quality care for our patients.
One of those is using economies of scale — due to our expansion and affiliations — to lower our costs for pharmaceuticals, medical technology and other costly items. Another is continued use of technology to better coordinate care for patients, including electronic medical records and “virtual visits” for patients from their smartphone or laptop.
The Cedars-Sinai Accelerator is now hosting its fifth class of entrepreneurs. Why did Cedars create this program and what do you hope will emerge from it?
Solving health care challenges requires innovation, which has always been part of Cedars-Sinai’s history and culture. The Cedars-Sinai Accelerator brings innovative early-stage tech companies to Cedars-Sinai to work with our staff, so they can refine their products to best meet the needs of clinicians and patients. Our goal is to help bring useful technological solutions to improve health.
As Cedars-Sinai has continued to expand, there’s been huge growth in medical office space use in Beverly Hills and the Beverly Grove section of Los Angeles. Are you concerned that the growth in the number of physicians with ties to Cedars-Sinai could outstrip the ability of those communities to provide adequate medical office space?
The demand for medical office space reflects the growing public demand for health care services more broadly as the population ages and more people have coverage. We are doing our best to make sure our facilities are as efficient as possible.

Michael Chandler reveals goal to face Conor McGregor in July after Tony Ferguson bout at UFC 274: “The timing works perfect”
Michael Chandler has revealed his ideal summer plans. The former UFC title challenger aims to face Conor McGregor in July.
The 35-year-old was last seen in action at UFC 268 in November 2021. While he came up short in his war against Justin Gaethje, the pair got ‘Fight of the Night’ honors. The bout was also labeled as one of the best of the entire year by many fans and pundits.
Michael Chandler is now lined up to face another former lightweight champion at UFC 274 in May. ‘Iron’ is set to face division staple Tony Ferguson in another fight that promises to be fun. However, it seems that Chandler has more plans than just fighting in May.
The lightweight spoke to MMAFighting about his fight with Ferguson and his future plans. Chandler revealed that his ideal next fight after ‘El Cucuy’ would be a showdown with Conor McGregor in July. The Irishman is slated to return in the summer and has shown interest in fighting him.
“It’s one that I’m interested in. I want the Conor fight just for the magnitude of the moment. Stepping inside the octagon and doing something monumental by fighting him. Having all of the mixed martial arts eyeballs, eyeballs all across the world [on you]. You don’t get a bigger platform than fighting Conor McGregor. So that’s what I would love to happen if I don’t get the title shot.”
Michael Chandler continued, “July, August works great for me. I will go out there and beat Tony in May, have a little time to recover, then go back into training camp for a July, August fight. The timing works out perfect. I think I’m a great guy for Conor if he comes back and doesn’t get a title shot. He’s going to have to go through somebody to get a title shot, I think I’m the perfect guy.”

Among a sea of white shirts at the Curb Event Center, Belmont women’s basketball secured its 14th-consecutive win over rival Lipscomb University with a 70-51 victory on Wednesday.
“It’s Bruin Time” echoed throughout the arena with the largest crowd the women have seen so far this season.
To start the game, the Bisons were taking advantage of Belmont mistakes, including six turnovers, to take control of the game.
The Bruins found some life towards the end of the first quarter, finding themselves down 18-15.
Coming out for the second quarter, the Bruins had a strong start to the second with a six-point run, leading to a Bison timeout.
But the Bisons found a way to stay in the game, fighting back with baskets of their own.
The Bruins did just enough to stay ahead though, leading 36-33 at half.
Belmont came out with high intensity to start the third quarter, increasing their lead to 44-38 in the first three minutes.
But the Bisons continued to be competitive as they were down only 51-46 going into the fourth.
But entering the fourth quarter, Belmont began to shut down Lipscomb, dominating on both sides of the ball.
As the Bruins began to increase the lead against the Bisons, the Curb Event Center was rowdy and loud with excitement.
With two minutes left and the score being 69-51, the subs came off the benches for both teams to finish the battle.
What started as a close dogfight ended with a 19-point win for the Bruins.
Junior Kilyn McGuff finished with a double-double of 14 rebounds and 13 points while freshman guard Jailyn Banks scored a game-high 16 points.
But junior Tessa Miller proved to be a killer for the Bruins, doing it all on the court with 14 points, 8 rebounds, five assists and two blocks.
Miller said winning a heated rivalry game is always a great feeling.
“It’s awesome. It’s always a big rivalry game,” Miller said. “They’re a very talented team, so tensions are always high. But we were able to stay steady. It was a great win morally.”
Also with the win, head coach Bart Brooks keeps his undefeated record against the Bisons, extending it to 6-0.
Brooks said he admits that the Bruins didn’t play their best basketball for most of the game.
But he also said the win shows the potential of his group.
“They’ve got a really good group that connects well. They stretch you defensively,” Brooks said. “So anytime you play against a good team, and you find a way to win when you don’t have your best stuff, it’s big. I thought we did that tonight.”
The Bruins have 11 days to rest their bodies before traveling to Kennesaw State University on Dec. 17.

March saw plug-in hybrid and pure electric car sales outperform diesel in Europe.
Accelerating electric vehicles saw 244,801 new registrations, compared to 202,113 for diesel, which is in sharp decline.
“We continue to see more and more new EVs enter the market. And with the support of good deals, incentives, and shorter waiting times compared with ICE vehicles, it’s become easier for consumers to jump on the EV boom,” said Felipe Munoz, Global analyst at JATO Dynamics
The shift in favour to low emissions vehicles was particularly prevalent in countries such as Switzerland (which had a 28% EV market share vs 14% diesel market share), the UK (23% vs 10%), France (21% vs 16%) and Belgium (24% vs 19%), in addition to the well-established trends seen in Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and Denmark.
BEVs accounted for almost 62% of all low emissions vehicle registrations in March, with a volume increase of 46%.
According to JATO Dynamics data for 27 European markets, total volume was down by 19% in March when compared to the same month last year, with 1,116,419 new passenger cars registered.
While registrations increased by 33% compared to March 2020, the market is yet to see a return to pre-pandemic levels, falling short of March 2019 by 37%.
The war in Ukraine hit demand for new cars across Europe with inflation on the rise.
Sales of new cars in the first quarter fell 10% to 2.73 million units, the worst performance since 1985. In March Tesla outsold Dacia, Citroen, Fiat, and Nissan

Name: Brad Byrnes
Self-described age group: Pre-Masters (almost 40)
Occupation: Federal Police Officer and former head XC coach at Bishop Ireton HS
Volunteer roles in the running world: I’m one of the few that can claim membership in the old Pacers Ambassador program. That was a long time ago and I haven’t volunteered a lot since then…that needs to change. I did coach the Boys on the Run program at the Grace Episcopal Elementary School for 5+ years which was a lot of fun.
Why you run: Mostly to race and compete against others but I’m always challenging myself as well. As we get older, beating our old selves becomes more and more of an obsession. Running is also my time to decompress and escape for a bit.
When did you get started running: I tried every sport in the book but nothing really caught on. A high school friend suggested I come out for the track team so I did that my sophomore year. I ran my first XC season that fall of my junior year and the rest is history.
Have you taken a break from running: My first two years of college I really didn’t run much at all and instead spent more time with weights in the gym and playing rugby. The rugby guys liked me because I had endurance and didn’t drink which meant there was at least one sober player at our matches.
Self-described age group: 35-39
Occupation: Special Education Teacher
Volunteer roles in the running world: I love being a Race Pacer for marathons, half marathons, 10k’s and 5k’s.I have paced as many races as I have raced. I also love to be on the course volunteer for races.
Why you run: I run for a lot of reasons. I started as a way to keep in shape, I continued to run because it kept me even keeled during stressful times, and I will continue to do it because I love the people it brings into my life. It is an ingrained part of who I am at this point.
Name: Nick Reed
Self-described age group: 25 – 30
Residence: Fairfax, Va.
Occupation: Substitute teacher with Fairfax County Public Schools, Pacers (Fairfax) employee and assistant coach for cross country, indoor and outdoor track at Robinson Secondary School
Volunteer roles in the running world: The Robinson team volunteers at Potomac River Running races as a fundraiser where we course marshal the courses for specific races in the area, generally races held at Fairfax Corner.
Why you run: I run for the pure joy I get from it and more importantly for the competitive spirit I get from running races and having the chance to go out a beat the runner that you used to be and see improvements in yourself.
Name: Caitlin Kovalkoski
Self-described age group: 30-39 F
Occupation: Federal Policy Director, Corporation for Supportive Housing
Volunteer roles in the running world: One of six DC/MD/VA Oiselle Volee leaders
Why you run: Stress relief
Name: Shawn Zeller
Self-described age group: Masters, 40+
Residence: Northeast D.C.
Volunteer roles in the running world: I coordinate the running team at my company, CQ Roll Call, and our involvement in team races, such as the National Press Club 5k and the ACLI Capital Challenge.
Why you run: To be fit, to compete, to stay trim, to maintain friendships, and to set a good example for my kids. This past year, after my nine-year-old daughter participated in “Girls on the Run” through school, the whole family, including my wife and six-year-old son competed in the DC Road Runners Bunion Derby series of races. It was extremely gratifying to do so as a family. I ran with the kids and Madelyn finished 1st in her age group, while the rest of us took second in our respective age groups. We were thrilled! It turns out that young kids can run distances!
When did you get started running: I ran as part of my crew team training in high school and college, but only as cross-training. I only realized then that I had any propensity for endurance sports. In grade school, the focus was always on sprinting and I’m still not a very good sprinter.
Name: Leah Williams
Self-described age group: mid 30’s
Residence: Olney, Md. by way of College Park
Occupation: Genetic counselor
Why you run: Running is my time. If I’m running with friends, it’s my time to socialize and be challenged by a group of people who “get me.” If I’m running solo, it’s my time to get whatever I need that day – sometimes I relish the quiet, sometimes I need speed to get out some negative energy, and sometimes I just want to zone out and listen to a great podcast. Either way, it’s my time to dedicate to myself which is otherwise hard to find in my daily life.
When did you get started running: In college. I have a hard time sitting still, and was looking for something to challenge me and get some of my energy out. I never considered myself a runner and thought I was just terrible at it, which was the perfect motivation to see if I could actually do it.
Name: Miguel Cuya
Self-described age group: Early 40s
Occupation: Probation Officer
Volunteer roles in the running world: Every year I volunteer as a driver for elite runners competing in the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler. I am also a race director for a few DC Road Runners races, including the DCRR Cross Country 3+Miler, DCRR Bluemont 5k, and the National Capital 20-Miler and 5-Miler.
Why you run: After running for the last 10 years, I have found running to be a great stress reliever and a great way to keep fit. More importantly, I have found running to be a great way to meet people and now most of my close friends are runners.
When did you get started running: I started running at age 32. In the past, I used to associate running with going around in circles around the high school track (no workout plan like PE in high school). This changed after I ran my first race, the DCRR Capital Hospice 12k, in February 2009. This was the moment when I decided I was going to start running and competing in races.
Name: Tanya Senanayake
Self-described age group: F 35-39
Occupation: Attorney specializing in campaign finance litigation
Volunteer roles in the running world: I love mentoring other runners, especially women and those new to running. I also created an Instagram account (@oaktreerunner) to bring attention to mindful running and women’s running, and to connect with women of color runners, since a meaningfully diverse representation of runners encourages even more people to try out this great sport. And I assist Coach Wilson Komen with his outreach and community partnerships building.
Why you run: Running makes me feel stronger, builds my resilience, and gives me space to find stillness. There is something about running that makes me really attentive to my surroundings, like the sounds of gravel crunching underfoot and the presence of roots and rocks and frogs, but also lost in a flow state at the same time. This is meditative and healing for me.
When did you get started running: I started running after I turned 30, during my first year in D.C. On a whim I decided to organize a team at work for the Lawyers Have Heart 10K. At the time, I couldn’t run more than a few blocks, but I printed a 10-week Hal Higdon plan that I found online. I crossed out Weeks 6 and 8 because there wasn’t enough time (mistake!) but ended up loving the feeling of camaraderie and friendship that come with training for a race and the feeling of accomplishment at running a half mile without stopping, then a mile, then two miles, and eventually the race.
Name: Bryan Steverson
Self-described age group: 40s
Residence: Loudoun County
Occupation: Federal Employee
Volunteer roles in the running world: (as applies) I’ve helped with a few local 5ks and am on a steering committee for a new to be announced local race in LoCo
Why you run: To eat! Actually I’ve been running since I was in middle school, so its just a habit that has taken over my life (in a good way). Cooking is a hobby of mine so running helps me think I’m justifying some of the food I’m cooking (I like to cook french food).
When did you get started running: 6th Grade – I was a miler at first. Then I switched to run the 400 meters and relays. Relay races are where I did the best and had the most fun. I always enjoyed running with a team and competing with other teams – takes the burden off of myself a bit. Plus there is just something about running with a baton and trying to beat your competition to make the handoff that drives me to run faster.
Name: Naomi Warner
Self-described age group: mid-thirties going on 22
Volunteer roles in the running world: (as applies) Unofficial and official race pacer – I’ll be pacing the 4:15 group at the Disney World marathon this month.
Why you run: I run because it gives me life. Running is my therapist, happy hour, social time with friends, a way to clear my head, a break from the stresses of work and family.

Ok, Ok. More strawberries. I have been cooking and photographing all kinds of food, but somehow keep returning to strawberries for the posts! They epitomize summer, and their tangy sweetness is so wonderful while it lasts.
I have been making strawberry tea and my husband is drinking it by the gallon, it seems. I think it is a popular drink! It is easy to make and really captures the strawberry flavor without being overbearing-and is very refreshing in this heat!
2 cups strawberries
6 tea bags (I use a good quality organic green tea)
6 cups of water
agave or honey
fresh herbs - mint, pineapple sage or lemon verbena would all be great
I make a strawberry liquid by taking 2 cups of frozen strawberries and letting them thaw in a freezer bag. Mash the bag a bit and then pour through a strainer. You get a good amount of strawberry liquid this way. If you only have fresh strawberries, you can also heat them gently in a pot for 15 minutes or so on low/med heat - then smash and strain that to get the liquid. Use the pulpy part over your yogurt, and pour the liquid into a cup.
Pour almost boiling water over the tea bags and let steep. While the tea is steeping, pound your fresh herbs (I used 7 pineapple sage leaves) a little to get the oils going. Put those into the pitcher with your tea bags. Let it all steep together for about 10 minutes. Add agave or honey to taste. Strain out the herbs and teabags, add the strawberry liquid. Let it come to room temperature before serving over ice!
Buy fair trade organic tea. Tea production is land- and labor-intensive--crops are frequently treated with many chemicals in order to produce cheap, high yields. Organic tea is free of these chemicals; fair trade tea provides a living wage for those involved in its production, and improves quality of life for the workers while maintaining a healthier ecosystem.

Imagine the melodic noise of Wilco combined with the rich harmonies of The Mamas and The Papas--that's JANTURAN. Their original material has been described as "edgy-grunge-folk filled with infectious hooks and compelling lyrics". Their sets include unexpected cover songs like 'Get it On (Bang a Gong)' by T-Rex and Roger Miller's 'King of the Road' all interpreted in JANTURAN's brand of sound. If you're a fan of great harmonies and instantly likable songs with an edge, then JANTURAN is right for your event.
This duo was so full sounding--just like a band. Singing was terrific and they played for three hours! Never heard so much tight harmonies live. We really appreciated having them at our daughter's sweet sixteen. She loves alternative music and these guys were perfect. Edgy but not inappropriate in any way and very professional.
Response from janturan:
Thanks Giselle! We also had a blast playing at Camille's party. The energy of the entire party was extraordinary. We were so happy to have inspired the kids to get up and dance. They were having so much fun and so were we! Happy Birthday Camille!

Well I hate to do this but given the political landscape now I think it prudent for me to go another direction right now. Instead of keeping this 300 win mag I am putting it up for sale. I need to push through and get an AR chambered in .308 before things get bad for AR's again. This is a Savage bolt action model 111 chambered in 300 Win Mag with detachable magazine AND leupold rings and mounts. Will also include the buttstock shell holder. I have only put 10 rounds (yes ten) down the pipe. It was purchased from anothe rmember here but I don't remember his round count. However, given it's condition I'd estimate far less than 100 rounds. I would like to get 430 for this gun FTF in Oregon and this includes the set of hornady custom dies; price plus actuall shipping if it's shipped. I will also include the 80 or so factory rounds and 20ish pieces of brass for a FTF deal. 400 if you don't want the dies, btw they have hardly been used. Next up is a Superior Arms Complete lower. This is an old pic that I had on the computer but I assure you it is complete...four position stock and new LPK in it. The only problem is that I lost the mag release button while putting it together and I had to use an old one from the parts bin. Would like 300 plus actual shipping or can do a FTF in Oregon. ETA: I am in Roseburg but willing to meet halfway along I-5 if need be to get the deal done.

§ 39. Mr. Tim Renton
asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will propose an extension of the weekly time available for answering Prime Minister's questions.
§ Mr. Renton
As I asked the original Question, may I by way of a supplementary question ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he would let us more into his own thinking on this matter? Does he agree that it is necessary for any Prime 958 Minister to show his mettle at Question Time? The present incumbent of the post is not showing his mettle but is flannelling. How can the Lord President suggest to his Prime Ministerial colleague that he improves his performance?
§ Mr. Foot
I repudiate all the criticisms of the way in which the Prime Minister has dealt with Questions asked by the hon. Gentleman. As the Prime Minister responded in the way that he did to the suggestion that the matter should be referred to the Procedure Committee, I am sure that it is much the best course for the House to allow that to happen.
§ Mr. Lipton
Will my right hon. Friend resist any temptation to extend Prime Minister's Question Time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, because the only effect of that would be a lot more rubbish than we get now from the Opposition?
§ Mr. Foot
A little extra time might ensure a few more Questions from my hon. Friend. That is one of the advantages that I see. A previous Procedure Committee suggested more time for Prime Minister's Questions but that was not accepted by previous Prime Ministers, and it has not so far been accepted by the present one. I suggest that, the House having again referred the matter to the Procedure Committee, the best course is to await what it suggests.
§ Mr. Burden
Will the right hon. Gentleman try to get the Prime Minister to answer the Questions that are put to him? That would be much more to his credit and to the benefit of the House and the country.

They were no longer dependent on a husband or father for financial support. Marriage and children were no longer the hallmarks of success for a woman.Society in the1930s considered a woman popular if she had a lot of dates.; women in the 1970s had working girl Mary Tyler Moore as a role model. By 1973, it had become the most-used form of birth control, with more than 10 million users.
Having reliable birth control gave women more control over their bodies, and sex was no longer tied to reproduction.
While women were conditioned to want babies, pregnancies and babies also represented a burden that tied women to the home.
"Someone will talk to you on the private line, and you'll be having a great conversation.
You're chatting for 15 minutes, then all of sudden they may ask for something really obscene."Even 37 years later, many women (and men) who attempt online dating can likely relate to these socially dysfunctional mishaps from certain suitors.
The birth control pill allowed women to have sex without the fear of pregnancy.

The writer of “The Motorcycle Diaries” who filled his book with his passionate continental ridings and generous writing skills, Che Guevara, has now become an inspiration for custom-makers. After giving a best-selling book defining his continental motorcycle journey, he now left a list of admirers and eulogists behind him. One of his devotees has recently come-up with a customized 1978 model of 350cc Royal Enfield. Sharing his idea with Bimal Menon, an industrial designer, operator and founder of Emperor Motorcycles; both have come-up with “Retro-Naut”, a Che Guevara inspired cruiser motorcycle.
Mr. Menon had to work very hard in order to meet client’s needs, as he has to customize the model along with retaining the actual and original cruiser look. The customized wide fuel tank and rear tyre hugger are dipped in metallic dark grey color. Fat tyres, wire-spoke wheels and solo riding experience are some of the things fulfilling the client’s requirements. Loaded with all these retro-styled components, it is named as “Retro-Naut”, which suits its acquired style as well.
Inspired by legendary Argentine, Che Guevara, the Retro-Naut has acquired steel mesh kickstart, gear and brake pedals, designed similar to heat shields on rifles and brass from bullet shells. The block tread pattern acquired by dual purpose tyres is to remind the off-road life of Che Guevara. The eye-catching part covers speedometer placed over the fuel tank and complimented by a loop of leather belts both sides, wrapping around the tank. And, instead of using Matte Black color suggested by client, Mr. Menon has make use of metallic dark grey color.
See Also:- Royal Enfield Continental GT Black Edition
Mr. Menon saying about Retro-Naut, “Honestly speaking, it is literally impossible to point at one element as the inspiration source. I don’t restrict myself to any particular style. I want to explore the possibilities. Custom bikes are in a sense a piece of art. It is like a sculpture, painting or music. The finished bikes shouldn’t be just a pile of metal. It should be artistic. It should generate thoughts in the minds of the beholder.”

The complete score is available as a PDF on my website, but it'll take a long time to load!
The "handler" was to influence the Bride's decisions by responding to changes in a sort of gravitational field — the details are unclear, and in any case the handler was ultimately left out of the painting. Duchamp's note is accompanied by a sketch of a six-pointed star-shape surrounding a spheroid body; the six points represent points from which threads would stretch toward the central body, defining its location and shape by their tension.
Six systems of music, each lasting about a minute, were conceived as both linear and textural analogues of these threads. The unsynchronized repetitions and reinforcements in the music was meant to represent the variations and displacements of physical bodies caused by gravitational disturbances.
Much of this was suggested by the curious rhythmic disturbances which frequently characterize organists — or, rather, their performances. The result is a rather different kind of organ writing, a sort of comporomise between standard notation and a kind of tablature; the hope is to ensure an idiomatic organ character by harnessing the little clumsinesses of the instrument.
The organist must be the central body who determines but also is subject to these disturbances — by realizing the music as accurately as possible (with respect to dynamics and pitch) while altering "rhythm" by responding to the difficulty of fingering (and footing), to the acoustical circumstances of the room, to the registration possibilities (themselves determined by octave location and dynamic), etc., etc.
Handler of Gravity was premiered in the Chapel on the campus of Mills College on March 13, 1971. I think the organist's name was Ted Ashford; I can't find any of my concert programs at the moment. (When I looked for them just now, though, I did find my good pair of glasses, missing a number of months.) I wish I had a recording of the concert: it lasted an hour or so, and involved simultaneous performances of Handler of Gravity (with someone — David Smith, I see, now I look at the score, and, yes, it was Ashford — playing the optional chimes and glockenspiel), three graphic pieces for string quartet; and occasional overlays of Bachelor Apparatus, for four pairs of trumpets and trombones (they were stationed outside the chapel).
There have been three quite different adaptations of the original score, each about eight minutes in duration:
Five Pieces after Handler of Gravity, for solo piano (premiere: Nathan Schwartz; Jan. 17 1976, Oakland Museum). Each of these pieces was provisionally dedicated to one or another of the five music critics on the three major daily newspapers in the San Francisco area at the time, since Duchamp sometimes referred to his Handler as a "Juggler of Gravity."

Tender of Gravity, for nine instruments (fl-pic, o-eh, cl-bass cl, bn, harmonium, vn, vla, vc, cb) (premiere: Irene Pruzan, Lenore Sleeter, Tom Rose, Cyrle Perry, Beth Anderson, Nathan Rubin, Ron Erickson, Teressa Adams, Jedediah Denman; 9 May 1974; 1750 Arch Street, Berkeley)

Review: Just One Evil Act, by Elizabeth George
Let’s get the ugliness over with right away. Just One Evil Act, by Elizabeth George is overwritten. At 719 pages it taxes the patience of even the most ardent fan. I had to check the book out of the library three times in order to get through it. The local color in the Italian portion is overdone, and the use of Italian words to describe the most common of items as well as conversations is frustrating and baffling. Other than that, it is a Thomas Lynley novel featuring his sidekick Barbara Havers, so all is sort of forgiven.
It bears repeating that the Thomas Lynley series is ongoing. Just One Evil Act is #18 in that series, so to break into the series at this point would rob the reader of all that came before to shape the main characters. It’s a very convoluted back story.
As this portion of the drama unfolds, Barbara finds herself overly involved in the life of a neighbor Taymullah Azhar and his daughter Hadiyyah. Angelina, Hadiyyah’s mother, had taken her daughter to Italy where she hopes to begin a new life. A kidnapping ensues, and the Italian police take over the investigation. Against the advice of her Superintendent, Barbara attaches herself not only to computer hackers but also a tabloid journalist . A flying fiasco follows.
What looks like a happy ending midway through the book is no such thing. It’s just a kick-off to more red herrings, twists, turns, introduction to more non-essential characters and lots of running around the Italian countryside.
To tax the patience of the reader even more, there is an open-ended conclusion so we have more of this to look forward to.
I have extolled the virtues of Elizabeth George’s writing for many years. Hopefully, she will take her time coming up with the further adventures of Thomas and Barbara, preferably in English and under 500 pages.
I give the book 3 telefonos.
Happy reading from Beverly!

What do you do with a federal numbers-cruncher whose projections don’t match your expectations? House members have dusted off an 1870s rule that lets them can feds at will starting at the Congressional Budget Office.
The Greatest Generation, the people who survived the Depression and World War II, is fast disappearing. This month marks the 73rd anniversary of the U.S. campaign to recapture Guam, a vital step to victory in the Pacific, and we’ve got the story of one young Marine forever changed by it.
Working for the government was once a lifetime deal, but Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says those days may be gone.
Are you planning to retire soon or leave your federal job? What happens to your benefits? Find out when benefits expert John Grobe joins host Mike Causey on this week’s Your Turn. July 26, 2017
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says if it’s true that all politics is local, D.C. feds may get a major political assist from beyond-the-Beltway feds that could save their retirement plan.
Most of the retirement nest-egg money federal investors have socked away is in the super-safe, never-has-a-bad-day Treasury securities G fund. But Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wonders how safe is safe.
Have you seen the pay-more-get-less pension package Congress is preparing for federal workers and retirees? Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says you’d better check it out.
Federal, military and Social Security retirees may be looking at a January cost-of-living adjustment of 1.6 percent, says Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
This week on “Your Turn,” financial planner Arthur Stein tells feds and retirees what, if anything, they should be doing now with their Thrift Savings Plan accounts.
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says past performance isn’t a predictor in financial markets, and federal investors are nervously wondering what to do with their TSP accounts when the next big, long overdue correction hits.
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says despite it being home to Congress, Washington, D.C. takes the least vacation time of any other major American city.
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says federal and Social Security retirees may be in for a cost-of-living adjustment that’ll trump January’s proposed 1.9 percent pay raise for federal workers.
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says current and future federal retirees would lose thousands of dollars in cost-of-living benefits if Congress goes along with the president’s plan to put them on a zero-COLA plan.
A longtime federal worker explains the upsides and downsides of retiring from a government career.
The Senior Executive Service is one of the most important parts of government most Americans have never heard of. Different presidents have used it in different ways. So what’s the impact of the Trump administration?

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - The driver of a semi traveling on Interstate 70 in Jefferson County struck part of a bridge before daybreak on Thursday and it's unclear how much damage it did. Authorities believe the commercial vehicle was hauling a heavy equipment and didn't stop after the collision.
The incident happened sometime before 6 a.m. at Denver West Parkway. That's near Colorado Mills shopping mall in the western part of the Denver metro area. All of the eastbound lanes of I-70 were closed from approximately 6 a.m to 7:30 a.m. After that one lane of traffic remained closed for a few more hours while structural engineers checked the bridge. The closures caused big backups during the morning commute.
At daybreak Copter4 video showed inspectors looking up at the bridge's girders and a snowplow being used to clear debris on the highway.
Anyone with information about where the truck might be is asked to call police.

An employee in one organization was dismissed after Facebook "banter" got out of hand and he "liked" a comment about an unpopular manager being beaten over the head with a chair.
Barbed comments between two chefs about vegetable preparation ended in a fist fight and a hospital visit for the two protagonists.
Another business came to standstill for three days over a dispute over stolen milk from the refrigerator. The company ended up buying six new refrigerators, one for each department.
These examples illustrate the importance of dealing proactively with conflict and not allowing the situation to fester. The impact on productivity, motivation, morale and the culture of the organization can't be underestimated.
A certain amount of conflict in an organization is inevitable, and the most common ..... a clash of personality or working style. You are after all putting a group of people together who may have conflicting personal objectives and are not necessarily selected for their teamworking skills. Just ask the manager of a sales team I recently worked with, the concept of collaboration was not one that came readily to this team.
Often communication or a lack of it is the flashpoint for conflict - language and the body language that accompanies it is often at the root of many misunderstandings. This is exacerbated with the increasing absence of face to face contact in the workplace, you can't judge from the other person's reaction whether you're on the right track or not from a voice message, text or e-mail.
Line managers nervousness in dealing with conflict is also a contributory factor to escalating problems. From my experience in 25 years of working with a range of organizations, managers are often promoted for their technical expertise and not necessarily their people skills. They are placed in positions of authority, without the necessary skills or confidence to deal effectively with these situations and as a result they don't.
So how do we deal effectively with conflict in the workplace?
Well timing is everything. Taking a proactive approach to adress issues early on will pay dividends but requires line managers to be skilled and confident to take action. We may find that mediation and conflict resolution become a core skill for all managers as they take up post, so that they can deal with matters informally and effectively.
This is often preferable to formalizing the process too early by bringing in the HR "big guns", which can lead to an increase in grievances where every problem leads to a formal complaint and investigation. Did I mention the time and financial cost the formal process can take?
A third option is to utlize a mediation service, either internal or external, that can lead to a positive outcome. However, this approach needs to take place without prejudice and from a position of balanced power i.e. mediation won't be effective if the approach is " ... if this doesn't work I resort to legal action".
Here's my six simple steps to dealing proactively and effectively with conflict in the workplace:
- Discuss the situation in a respectful manner
- Be specific as to the problem
- Discuss how the conflict impacts on you, the team or the project
- Ask for the other parties perspective on what's causing the conflict
- Ask for a proposed solution
- Agree on the action to be taken
