Friday, Drunkday, Sunday
Monday, January 14, 2013
Yay Happy Monday!! Wow was I tired this morning- it was so damn hard to get myself up, and I felt lightheaded until I got some coffee in me!
What a crazy weekend for me! It wasn't all bad, but could have been better for my eating/drinking.
Friday night I finally got to spend some quality time with my Best friend Katie- we've been distant it seems since we went to vegas a month ago. Plus were both busy with work and family, still though it was great to see her. She came of to my apartment which was nice- not a lot of people come over! I love sharing my life and home with people! Sometimes its too much if a secluded sanctuary for just me, josh and the kitties! I ate healthy all week, Friday as well! We went to see Silver Linings Playbook (phenomenal!) and then hung out after watching E! and baby videos on youtube lol.
Saturday morning I woke up feeling good- not super pumped about my run outside, but I got myself there. I had to run 3 miles once this weekend and since ALL of our snow melted because it was warm on Friday I decided to head outside. WELL it was still only low 40s and VERY windy. 1 minute after starting to run I was like "no way can I run 3 miles like this!" but somehow- like I always do- I pushed through and ran 3.1 miles in 35 minutes. I impressed myself! I just realized I wasnt even sore on Sunday.
After my run Josh and I went grocery shopping before heading our seperate ways for the Packer game. He headed to one of his buddie's houses for a party, and I headed downtown to go out with a friend. And unfortunately my health concerns went out the window that night. I had wings, fries and mac and cheese bites. Also i drank about 10 beers, 3 shots and a malibu drink with 5 varieties mixed together. I was drunk, friends, D-R-U-N-K. And with that came the drunk taco bell run before my friend brought me home. I seriously went overboard. Like $17 worth of food (to split with my friend) overboard.
It was a sad picture to have Josh come home unexpectedly and find me with taco bell sprawled all over the bed, reaking like cigarettes and trying to watch gossip girl on my ipad. But he forgave me, even offered to sleep in the living room so I could have the bed to myself. But I knew he was only joking about that part. ;)
Needless to say I became conscious around 12:30 p.m. Sunday morning, went and puked and was just a pile of junk all day. I had half a bagel w/ cr cheese and a piece of string cheese until later that day. My bestie had a Golden Globe party last night, our friends brought Little Cesars pizza, I finished the wings I left in my car Saturday night, and had a few cookies. However I don't think I was too over last night with my WW points, at least not too much.
Today is a big day, guys! I start the 18 week Half-Marathon training schedule today! For the past 2 weeks i've been following the first week's schedule, so I feel confident I have prepared myself enough to keep up with it! I have marked down the days I will need to work around for vacations and events so I am good with that! I MAY miss one day of running when I go to NYC with mom and sister. But ALSO, how cool would it be to say I jogged in Central Park?! We're only 5 blocks from it, so I just might.
I know this is going to be a really tough adventure I'm starting here. But I need something to keep me busy. I'm feeling a little low lately, because I feel kind of bored with my life right now. I don't mean that to reflect negatively on anyone in my life at all! Or my job. I just feel like I need something more right now. Something to help me focus on me, and to better myself. I feel disconnected from who I am lately, so I may try yoga or meditation to really come back to myself and really understand my feelings, emotions, needs etc...
On another note- I am seriously impressed with how well Weight Watchers has been working for me again. It's SO easy to just follow points and not cheat. Even though I have gone over too many times so far, but I feel more of a solidity with this system than with counting calories. It's stress-less too.x
Well here's to having a wonderful week- I hope everyone stays on track! Hopefully surpass your fitness goals and really kick some butt!

Haha that drunk weekend sounds both awesome and awful lol. Man - I always struggle with this though! I'm in my 20s, I'm supposed to be going out and having fun and doing stupid stuff like that right?! But I know it makes me fat! Aghhhh! I wanna live while I'm young! (ish... youngish)
You're gonna rock this half marathon training and be all fit for spring/summer at the same time! Excellent planning dear!
Also - it is SO important to spend time with your "self". Biggest lesson I have learned in the past year I would say. Find your "self space" (now who sounds weird, but I mean it!) For me its like... long showers, hikes, crafts... anything where you can just be with yourself and center. That is the other cool thing about being our age - the ability to try stuff out, learn who we are, become better people. You'll get there! Just try!

Drinking is my number one reason for getting fat. No lie. I gained more weight from drinking (ok, and 3am Taco Bell/McDonald runs) than I did by having TWO babies.
Half marathon training is so awesome! I am envious. Right now I'm gonna stick to training for my first 5k, but I know I'll eventually make it as far as you.

You gotta pay to play... and you paid. It's okay, we've all been there. You're going great, one drunky-food-bash does not undo all of your hard work, and s/times it's nice to be reminded how crappy it is to get D.R.U.N.K.-- and the amount of time it takes to recover.
It's Monday, you're back at it, recovered and ready to go. You will show this week's who's boss, I know it.

OK! Here it is a day in the life of JIMBOBALOUIE!
Today was spent just about like this.
1. Crawled out of bed at 6:30 am.
2. Drove my wife to school at 7 am. Grabbed a paper at 7:20 am.
3. Came home at 7:25, woke up #2 son and struggled to get him on the school bus for 8 am. Read paper! On the bus on time! Big Success!
4. Daughter, Meghan, home from University, wakes up at 8:30 am, with a take home exam to be completed. Sets up laptop on kitchen table. Gets busy!
5. Jimbobalouie starts looking at and writing the caps, answers e-mail, sits drinking coffee in the Bat Cave. Somehow it doesn't feel right! Things are too quiet!
6. Meghan consults with her number one tutor about every half hour. BINGO! There goes the quiet!
7. Meghan's break at 1 pm, we return movies to store, pick up some Coke Zero and gum then return home. Round trip - 45 minutes. Somehow I'm thinking this is the only break I'll get during the day. You know that I'm psychic! Right!
8. Meghan leaves with boyfriend on break #2. Jimbob sorts out the Christmas stuff, sets up artificial tree, throws on the lights and stacks all of the Christmas containers.
9. Throw in a load of wash.
10. Clean toilets and bathroom, sweep hardwood floors. Make the bed –things are lookin' good! Maybe I'll get lucky!
11. Run out to pick up the wife at school. First hit the coffee drive through at Tim's. She's angry, agitated – those little Grade 2's were little pissers today. Full moon risin' at week's end. Hmmmmm, maybe the luck thing is dissipating! But, then again, I did bring coffee!
12. Prepare a supper of Med Chicken skewers, potato skins and string beans. Meghan writing up a storm, Sherrie still complaining! Me drinking wine by now – looking to marinate the brain! Thinking, if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
13. Josh at High School Basketball practice –expected home at 5:30 pm –no show. Damn, it's a late practice –won't be home until 7 pm.
14. The daughter and wife are hungry –feed them, do the dishes, clean up. Drink more wine!
15. Josh limps in a 7 , with buddy Andrew. He's gone knee to knee with one of the big men. Knee swollen and stiff, and this is the 16 point a game captain of the team. Andrew says, "I think he's really screwed." Later friend and teammate, Kevin, calls –worried and says if Josh was injured seriously, "I was so upset I was gonna quit basketball." We ice it, elevate it –it looks more like bruise! Relief comes after the 5th glass of wine –for me, that is, not Josh!
16. Meghan thinks we're all too noisy and storms off to her room. She makes occasional visits to the Bat Cave for help. The wine helps her father give lucid instructions and suggestions. I am very intelligent under the influence. Hey, look at some of my caps!
17. Sherrie goes to bed at 9 pm, exhausted from a day with 6 and 7 year old demons from hell. Looks like Jim will be UNLUCKY tonight!
18. Meghan is getting to the anger stage with this assignment. Ka-Ka mouth abounds and apparently #1 tutor has become #1 asshole! Maybe it's the wine and my "don't give a shit attitude"! Hey, I am retired!
19. Josh has a hot tub, a shower, checks his mail and is off to bed.
20. I remain posted for further consultation. The empty wine bottle sits stoically on the table. Time to write some awesome caps. WTF, my caps are dying like dandelions on a freshly sprayed lawn. FN die-bombers are at it again! Time for posting the silly shit! Well, you know what I mean!
21. I remain on standby with Meghan threatening an all nighter! Hmmmm! I do have a few beers in the cooler!
22. It's 10:32 and I wait, typing this BLOG post with my 0.08 fingers as I struggle to make sense of it all! And I'm thinking;
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
a) Must get up at 6:15 am, shower and get prettied up!
b) Daughter must be woken, as well as the 14 year hibernating bear.
c) Wife will be delivered to work for 7:15, with daughter in tow, and son on his own to get on that damn school bus. Oh, my God, can he pull it off now that he walks around like he's disabled! I practically have to lead the zombie around by the nose when I'm there in the morning! 50/50 chance of success!
d) We must make the 1 hour and 15 minute trip back too Meghan's college to hand in that paper by 9 am. They're calling for snow, freezing rain and rain! Take your pick! Damn, I can't drink wine during this excursion! But I surely will after!
e) After the take-home exam is dropped off, we've got to hit the bookstore for an
X-mas gift certificate for a nephew, go to Meg's apartment to pick up more of her stuff, then drive another half hour to the Mega Mall for Meghan and I's annual Christmas shopping extravaganza –oh, my! This could be costly!
f) But our day does not get any easier, pray tell, because we must hustle back and pick up the wife at school early, because Josh has a basketball game at 3:30 pm –even though he might be disabled and a bench warmer! WTF!
g) Usually such an extended list ends with PRICELESS!
Well, only if you are a bi-polar, masochistic, self-deprecating citizen of another planet. But, this is my life and I love it! BTW, isn't 'War of the Worlds' coming out this Christmas? Hmmmmmm!

New Band-Aids Change Color When Infected
When you have a cut, are you tempted to peek under the bandage? Rather than following that urge and letting bacteria and germs creep in, there may be a better method to monitor a cut's status. Scientists have discovered a way for you to know whether a wound is infected or not, without removing the bandage.
At the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT in Munich, scientists have developed a way for adhesive bandages to change color once the presence of an infection is detected. Since the pH level of skin is higher when it is infected, an indicator dye turns a shade of purple when the skin reaches a pH value of 6.5 to 8.5 (healthy skin has a pH around 5). That way you know when the bandage turns purple, it's time to clean up the wound and redress it.
What do you think? Are you interested in buying bandages that change color to indicate an infection? Or will you stick with the neutral color tones? Or does the whole topic of germ-infested band-aids gross you out?

We're huge fans of Stella McCartney, and this summer, her collection of prints looks delicious enough to devour. And now we can eat them, thanks to Washington D.C. attorney and blogger Apollina (the creator of "The Stella Cake!"). Inspired by McCartney's Summer 2011 collection, Apollina made a citrus cake with lemon curd filling and orange lemon icing. This cake may be too beautiful to eat, but we're sure we'll find a way!

Josť de GŠlvez was a Spanish attorney, colonial administrator, and a statesman. He was born in Vťlez, Malaga in 1729. He died in Madrid in 1786. He graduated in law at the University of Alcala de Itenares. He gained substantial distinction by his persuasiveness in the defense side of several lawsuits. He became familiar in Madrid with the French ambassador, Marquis de Duras, who had him hired as an assistant in the prosecution of claims at the Spanish court. This is where GŠlvez attracted the attention of Charles III's prime minister, the Marquis of Grimaldi, and soon became his personal secretary.
In 1764, he was selected as a member of council of the Indies, and in 1771 he was sent on a mission to Mexico to settle the problems that had risen between the audiencia and the proprietors of the mines concerning proceeds. Josť de GŠlvez was interested in knowing all about the mission operations in Mexico, so the friars, including Father Serra, sent reports. Even before all the reports had come in, Josť de GŠlvez decided to turn the missions over to the Franciscans. He entrusted Father Serra and his coworkers with the difficult task of bringing order to the mission system. He then arranged everything adequately, introduced his ideas for improvements to the administration, which saved millions of dollars each year to the government, and made several voyages into the interior to learn and analyze the situation and the requirements of the country.
From 1765-1772 GŠlvez became Visitor General to New Spain. He held more power than the viceroy did during most of his term. He waged war against the northern Native Americans, thus opening the way for expansion of the realm. By the development of his defenses, he made New Spain more secure against foreign enemies.
It was not an easy journey from Spain to the California coast. Crews and passengers faced an empty sea for months at a time. Inclement weather and trapped on board with short tempers and dwindling supplies battered them. They had fouled drinking water, ship rats, and even death occurred to some of the men.
King Charles III sent inspector Josť de GŠlvez to Mexico for the purpose of making an official visitation of the entire viceroyalty. He arrived in 1765 and remained in Mexico until 1771. During this time he gained a wide knowledge of this extensive area. Throughout his stay in Mexico, GŠlvez kept in close contact with Serra. When GŠlvez told Serra of his determination to occupy Alta California, Serra immediately offered to go as the first volunteer.
In 1768, Dominican Father Juan Iriate petitioned the Council of Indies for permission to explore California, and an edict dated November 4, 1768, ratified his plan, by this time General Josť de GŠlvez had come so close to realizing his goal of exploration that Iriate's request went unnoticed.
Inspector-General Josť de GŠlvez drew up detailed plans for an expedition to Alta California. Leadership of the project was given to Don Gaspar de Portola, a Catalonian soldier of noble rank who had recently been appointed governor of Baja California. He jumped at the chance to extricate himself from what had been a virtual political exile. Under him, in charge of missionaries, was Father Junipero Serra, relieved of his presidency of the Baja missions to supervise this more important work. Officials at San Fernando College named Fray Francisco Palou, Serra's friend from Mallorca, as the new Presidente of the Baja California Missions.
The expedition was divided into four parties with San Diego as the common destination. Two were to go by land, two by sea. The first contingent, the packet ship San Carlos, sailed out of La Paz on January 7, 1769. The San Antonio left a month later. Both ships encountered perpetual headwinds, and the San Antonio actually arrived before sea. The first land expedition, led by Captain Rivera accompanied by Father Juan Crespi, left El Rasario on Good Friday. The fourth and final expedition with Governor Portola and Father Serra left in mid May. At the San Borja Mission, Fray FermŪn de Laseun, who would one day succeed him as president of the Alta California missions, enthusiastically welcomed Serra. After several days, Portola and Serra resumed their journey to San Diego. Along the way Serra founded his first mission at San Fernando de Velicata on May 13, 1769, the feast of the Pentecost.
In 1774, Josť de GŠlvez returned to Spain. To his surprise, the next year he was appointed president of the council of the Indies, a very honorable position. GŠlvez moved his way up very quickly in the chain of command in Spain. It was the most important position in the kingdom, after of course the Prime Minister. This position rendered great service to the state and to the colonies. He would gain much respect with this new title. He was responsible for two ordinances that profoundly affected the colonial policy of Spain. The first was that of 1778, which established restricted free trade to replace the slender mercantile policy of days before. The second one was that of 1786, which made sweeping changes in colonial administration and set up a system of intendancies modeled after the French. He was rewarded for his services with the title Marquťs de la SeŮora. His influence advanced the fortunes of his brother and nephew, both of whom become viceroys of New Spain.
In 1779, GŠlvez founded a colony in Mexico in the beautiful valley of the Sonora. This colony soon prospered and GŠlvez created a marquis. His brother, MatŪas GŠlvez, entered the administration through the influence of his brother, Josť de GŠlvez. He obtained very fast promotions and worked his way right up the ladder. In 1781, he was appointed the captain general of Guatemala. In Guatemala, he laid the foundation of a new cathedral because the earthquakes of 1773 had ruined the old capital, and they had to remove the capital from Guatemala.
In the same year that Josť's brother, MatŪas, became captain general, war broke out with England, and the British forces occupied several places on the Athmtie coast, but GŠlvez in 1782 successively drove them from Omoa, Roatan, San Juan, RŪo Tinto, and Bluefields. Because of his success with winning, the next year Josť de GŠlvez was appointed the new viceroy of Mexico. He was not viceroy of Mexico for very long, but during his short administration he accomplished quite some wonderful things. He had the streets of the capital cleaned and paved, and looking nice again. He had a passion for art. He patronized the Academy of fine arts and ordered Italian plaster models of the principal art treasures from Italy. He also proposed to the home government the establishment of bank loans, for which he had a rich amount of subscriptions. Although the idea was not executed in his time, he may be considered as the originator of the banking system in Spanish America.
In 1784, smallpox ravaged Mexico killing many people. Josť de GŠlvez was active in mitigating the sufferings of the poorer class. His son, Bernardo, was born in Malaga in 1755, was called to the court at the age of sixteen by his uncle, the minister, and entered as a cadet in the regiment of Walloon guards. Bernardo wanted to learn more about military science, so he obtained a leave of absence in 1772 and went to France. He served three years there in the regiment of Cantabria and was promoted to lieutenant.
In 1775, when Charles III declared war against the Algiers, GŠlvez returned back to Spain and served as captain in the expedition of General O'Reilly. He also renowned himself in several encounters with the Moors. He rose to the rank of colonel, and on his return in the same year was given the rank of brigadier. Early in 1776, he was appointed second in command to the governor of Louisiana, Luis de Unzaga, and after the promotion of the latter to be captain general of Caracas, he took charge of the government towards the end of the year. He made brilliant improvements in several branches of the administration, and gathered and settled several nomadic tribes of Indians, whom he succeeded in civilizing.
In June of 1778, the Continental congress sent Captain Willing as agent to New Orleans, and Josť de GŠlvez assisted him secretly with arms and ammunition and $70,000 in cold cash. Spain offered her mediation between the colonies and Great Britain, and her offer being revolted by the latter, declared war on June 16 of 1779.
In June of 1779, Great Britain declared war on Spain. Josť de GŠlvez immediately formed a preparation of campaign. He had only a minute military force under his command, but he did not wait around for reinforcements. He began organizing volunteer regiments and they all marched northward on the eastern riverbank. He attacked Fort Manchaca on August 27, and later captured Baton Rouge, Fort Panmure, and Fort Natchez. In October, he received reinforcements from Havana, and was made a major general. With his combined forces, he then went on the capture Mobile, and Fort Charlotte, forcing the cities to surrender. His army was very organized, and soon rose to over 14,000 men. He invaded the northwestern part of Florida, defeating the British in several encounters.
In 1785, a famine desolated the province, and an epidemic broke out in the following year. GŠlvez did everything in his power to alleviate the public sufferings. He gave very large sums of money from his personal pocket to help the poor deal with their sufferings. He also constructed on the site of the ancient summer palace of the Montezumas, Chapultepec, a palace for himself and his successors at the expense of over $300,000. It was built like a very strong fortress with bastions and heavy artillery. His enemies calumniated him at the court, insinuating that he intended to declare himself independent of Spain. GŠlvez died due to overexertion. He died in the archiepiscopal palace of Tacubaya.
GŠlvez was a very respected and intellectual man during this time period. He was a great explorer and many people learned from him during those times. He was a leader and a teacher for his people. He was always organized and quick to come up with good decisions, always in the best interest of the people and of course the king of Spain, Charles III. He conquered many forts and towns during his voyage around the south of the United States, around what is now today Louisiana and Florida. He defeated the British in several different ways and this shows his brilliance in being a leader and a fighter. He succeeded in everything he put his mind to.

Hockey Weekend Across Americaby Colorado Avalanche / Colorado Avalanche
The seventh annual Hockey Weekend Across America, presented by CCM, will be celebrated across the United State this weekend, Feb. 28-March 2.

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel visited with the media in person for the first time this season on Tuesday. He is the Heisman Trophy frontrunner. Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin has a policy that he does not allow first-year players to talk to the press during the regular season. The 10-2 Aggies only have a bowl game remaining.

We have two companies merging one of which has SAP. We want to move that company over to our NAV 2017 system. And I'm looking for tips on how to approach this. Both companies are quite small (10 users each). Systems: Company 1: SAP 6.0 EHP6 (7.31) Company 2: NAV 2017 My questions: 1. Are there any handy documents or tools available? 2. Is it 'just' a matter of hiring a SAP specialist and a NAV specialist and put them together? 3. What preparation homework can the SAP company do to prepare for the data move? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Olof

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Thank you for your question
My name is Clare
I shall do my best to help you but I need some further information first.
How old are the children and why did you stop contact
Have you offered Contact at a Contact Centre?
Have you contacted local centres and asked?
What about if you travel out a little?
Nearby towns/
Where are the local centres?
Is there anyone else who could do it for you?
When is the next hearing due?
sorry just to check - it is your ex who abused you?
I see
That was news to your wider family?
I assume your father has no contact with the chidlren
It is sad that your family will not support you in this.
You will need to write to the solicitor and say that there is no longer anyone willing to supervise this contact
Confirm that you are still willing to attend a Contact Centre if they can find a place that will take him
Alternatively say that if your ex is willing to pay an Independent Social Worker to supervise the contact then you will agree to that
but say that REGRETFULLY (and yes use the word) until the matter is resolved then contact is suspended but you hope THET can resolve it first.
It woudl be helpful if you could get a letter from the family member NOT commenting on the contact but confirming that they are no longer willing to help
I hope that this is of assistance - please ask if you need further details
You are welcome
At 5 your son is too young for his wishes to be relevant
Children of that age can be persuaded to say almost anything and they have very little understanding of consequences.
Assuming that you have always been the principal carer of the children your ex would have little chance of changing this

I am currently seeing this really great girl. She's smart, sweet and really fun to be around. We agree on a lot of things. We both hate the death penalty, love pizza and enjoy hanging out—sometimes illegally—on rooftops overlooking New York City. There is one thing, however, that we just can't see eye-to-eye on. It's not, as you would think, what to do on Saturday or where to have dinner or which baseball team is the best. Surprisingly, the issue that we butt heads on the hardest is gay marriage.
I am totally in favor of same-sex marriage and have been ever since I can remember. I think it's a really important issue and am outraged on a regular basis that it isn't allowed in 45 out of 50 states in this country. After Tuesday, when voters in Maine repealed a gay marriage law, making it the 31st state in the country to fully outlaw marriage between same-sex couples, I had steam coming out of my ears. My girlfriend, on the other hand, didn't really care. She doesn't want to get married and thinks there are more important things to worry about.
I could dismiss this as a weird quirk of hers if she weren't one of the many gay chicks I know who doesn't give a crap about this issue. The last girl I dated also didn't care. She once even voted for a candidate who was completely against it. When I pointed this out to her, she said something like, "Who cares? We have bigger fish to fry."
I agree. There are more important issues, but that doesn't mean we need to ignore this one. Gay rights, like the civil rights and women's suffrage movements, is a struggle for equality that is never going to go anywhere if we don't get behind it. Martin Luther King Jr. was outraged when people told him that he just had to be patient about segregation. Similarly, I am irate that, in a society that claims to be so darn fair, I cannot marry someone I love because the person I love happens to have a vagina.
I am not comparing the gay rights movement to the inequality that African Americans faced, and still face today. We are not being herded to the back of the bus or drinking out of separate water fountains. However, earlier last month an openly gay man in Queens was beaten to within inches of his life by a bunch of thugs who yelled "f**got" over and over while they tried to kill him. Doesn't sound so dissimilar now, does it?
I know a lot of very loving gay couples who are extremely eager to get married. Some say pretending is the closest they'll ever get. To be honest, I don't know if I'll ever want to say, "I do." But it's not all about what I want. This is about an entire group of people—10 percent of the population of the United States, in fact—having the right to make whatever choice is best for them.
For me, gay marriage isn't simply an issue of marriage. It's about the whole gay community being treated as equals. Maybe it doesn't seem like such a big deal that same sex couples can't get hitched. But it's a big deal when people become targets for admitting they are gay. If these things seem unrelated, well, they aren't. They are all just pieces of a big, un-assembled puzzle. It's a puzzle that can't be solved in one swoop—it has to happen piece by piece. But we have to start somewhere. I think gay marriage is the perfect place to begin.

I was hanging with a girlfriend the other day at her pool, drinking wine and chatting her up about the latest People magazine. Wearing shorts, I kept looking down at my lily-white legs, dotted with brown age spots, reflecting—definitely not soaking UP—the sun.
Standing up, I took a long look at my knees. These are NOT the knees I once knew and loved so well. These are the knees of my mother . . .
Gravity sucks.
Gravity is sucking the life and the perk out of my body, from my head all the way down to my saggy knees, and everything in between. I learned that one the hard way after my first (and only) Brazilian bikini wax.
A couple of years ago I decided that since my better half is a pilot, and was turning 50, a landing strip would be the new coolest thing between my Laura Ashley sheets. I had not done this before, so I headed for the local waxing place. The owner has a VW bug with a sticker wrap all over it that advertises her Brazilian business. Gotta love her guts. Also I figured you need to consult the experts.
We all know those waxing horror stories of pain and embarrassment. All true. And this girl who grew up in a house where body modesty was beaten in to her was extremely nervous and embarrassed. I also made sure my fine china was the cleanest it's ever been. I think it was in shock. For 50 years it's been just fine thank you but this was a special occasion.
After assessing my unruly lower hairdo, Brazilian Super Model had me lie back, relax and endure hot and painful ripping. Thank God she spoke Portuguese. I'm sure there were some choice words said about my cooter that I didn't want to understand.
All finished, she had me sit up and stand in front of the mirror. Looking at the new style I was pleased. Until I noticed something hanging there. Something I had never seen before.
Something angry and exposed by the loss of its protective hairdo.
No longer lady bits, these were lady bags.
Brazilian Super Model seeing the shock on my face gently said, "Oh, that's just the labia, it gets longer as you get older. Sometimes it stretches out a bit, especially if you've had children . . . "
This was not what I was expecting as part of the birthday celebration. Now what?? I quickly hurried home and got on Google. God forbid anyone looks at my Internet history.
I quickly discovered what a merkin was and seriously considered the purchase. How will that look on my PayPal statement when I buy it on eBay???
I needed a taco toupee and quick. I Googled Gucci Coochie. Um no. I'll just get him flat out snockered on scotch and no one will know any better.
Thankfully, my better half really couldn't care less what was in the landing zone. Darkness does have its advantages.
Then again, there's always eBay.

Modesty Blaise is a 1966 comedy action/Spy Fiction film directed by Joseph Losey. It stars Monica Vitti as Modesty Blaise, Terence Stamp as Willie Garvin, and Dirk Bogarde as the villain, Gabriel.The film is loosely based on the Modesty Blaise comic strip created and written by Peter O'Donnell. O'Donnell wrote the scenario for the movie, but the screenplay went through multiple rewrites and the end result differs significantly from the original. Changes range from the relatively trivial, such as hair colour, to a change that horrified the comic strip's fanbase: Platonic Life-Partners Modesty and Willie falling in love and deciding to get married.The storyline is as follows: Modesty, a secret agent whose hair color, hair style, and mod clothing change at a snap of her fingers, is being used by the British government as a decoy in an effort to thwart a diamond heist. She is being set up by the feds but is wise to the plot and calls in sidekick Willie and a few other friends to outsmart them. Meanwhile, at his island hideaway, Gabriel, the diamond thief, has his own plans for Blaise and Garvin.O'Donnell wrote a novel based on his version of the screenplay, which (unlike the film) was successful and led to many sequels.Quentin Tarantino is a fan of this movie; the look of Modesty influenced the look of the DIVAS in Kill Bill.
This film provides examples of:
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Modesty is blonde and Willie isn't, the reverse of their hair colours in the comic strip. She does change it to her original colour in a couple of scenes, perhaps as a form of lampshading, and Willie likewise is seen in his normal blonde style early in the film as well before going dark-haired for the rest.
- Arab Oil Sheikh: Abu Tahir, who adopted Modesty as his "son".
- Camp: The high type.
- The Cavalry: The charge at the end done by Abu Tahir and his troops.
- A Glass of Chianti: Gabriel lounges with a glass of blue wine while dispensing his evil orders.
- In-Name-Only: Zigzagged. Peter O'Donnell famously stated that the film retained only one line from his original screenplay, and his novelization (which kicked off the Modesty Blaise book series) bears little resemblance to the movie beyond characters and certain setpieces.
- Knife Fight: In Amsterdam, both Modesty and Willie end up fighting an opponent with knives at the same time.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: This exchange:Gabriel: I am the villain of the piece. I have to condemn you.
Modesty Blaise: But I am the heroine. Don't I get away?
Gabriel: Perhaps.
- At one point images of the real-life Modesty Blaise comic strip are shown.
- Protagonist Title
- Psycho for Hire: Mrs. Fothergill. She likes to submit her "minions" to physical exercise and enjoys killing a mime and throwing him off a cliff (it doesn't make much sense in context, anyway).
- Relationship Upgrade: Modesty and Willie. And the action comes to a halt while they do a song and dance number about it.
- Scenery Porn: For fans of architecture, the opening credits that play out over images of classic '60s building lines is as good as Playboy.
- Sissy Villain: Gabriel. So much.
- Volleying Insults: During the period of "truce" between Modesty and Gabriel:Gabriel: Suffragette!
Modesty Blaise: Psychopath!

Russian Orthodox Radicals Seek Case Against Academic
Vitaly Ginsburg (file photo) (RFE/RL) July 24, 2007 -- The radical Russian Orthodox movement Narodny Sobor today appealed to the Moscow Prosecutor's Office to start a criminal case against Russian Nobel laureate Vitaly Ginsburg.
In a statement, Narodny Sobor said Ginsburg, who won the 2003 Nobel Prize in physics, made remarks that offend Orthodox sensibilities.
The complaint came one day after Ginsburg and several other Russian academics signed a letter to President Vladimir Putin expressing concern that the Orthodox Church's influence is threatening to erode the separation between church and state.
Ginsburg told Ekho Moskvy radio that the Orthodox Church is "strongly promoting religion to the detriment of science."
(Interfax, Ekho Moskvy radio)
A THREAT TO CIVIL, RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES: Several leading experts told a briefing hosted by RFE/RL and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom that several mounting trends in Russia are posing a growing threat to human rights, especially for members of the country's ethnic and religious minorities.

Today, however, as this article explores, businesses must also adopt integrated information technology policies and electronic records retention protocol, as well as be well-versed in their information technologies systems, lest they be caught off-guard in the courtroom.

b**** a** sister ignorant to childrens nutrition
Posted by Anonymous
- 3 Replies
My sister came.over last night with her kids (19 months and 9). Her younger girl was hungry and so was my 3 yr old so I offered snack time. My sister got really upset with what I had to offer she said she was fine with them eating apple slices but she felt wheat chex were not a snack. I thought perhaps she was concerned about carbs as our dad has blood sugar problems. No this was not the issue. Where were my cookies, fruit snacks, and crackers? I said wheat chex were a lot like wheat crackers. At this point she said she didn't understand why I fed my son that way and she felt sorry for him.

I understand. That's how my mom is with my brother. We have healthy snacks here and my mom is always like "he needs some chips!!"
Posted on the NEW CafeMom Mobile
I don't think that makes her ignorant to nutrition, she probably know what you are giving your child is healthier, but rather she just doesn't make it a priority. It's tough to change children's eating habits sometimes, perhaps this is why her children get less nutritional snacks. I'm more like you though. DD is a pretty healthy eater and I think much of it is just because that is what she has been around. She'd choose a banana over a cookie most days.

The changes you recommended did not work. For my current task, I am trying to create an inline, sized, javascript popUp Window in a WCM radEditor field control.I already had the AllowSpecialTags attribute set to true in the Page Layout's radE:RadHtmlField control to allow flash content. That was working fine. I added both tags to the config.xml anyway, per your instructions, and received a runtime error.Configuration File provided is not valid.

iRidium - New Automation Systems Remote
Suppose the thread would be of some interest for home automation installers and suppliers. iRidium application simplifies the whole installation process making home automation control easy and comfortable.
Here I'd like to give more detailed description of what iRidium is.
Iridium is a multiplatform remote for TCP IP and COM controllers. Presently the application runs on all the iPhone/ iPod Touch devices, Windows Mobile 4.2/5.0/6.0/6.1, Windows XP/7. Not certain about Vista we haven't got it tested yet but it's most likely to run on as well.
iRidium provides thorough support of following controllers:
1) AMX. The application works with AMX original protocol so that you can easily integrate iRidium into your new projects as well as into current ones. The integration takes the efforts compared to the setting up an original AMX panel. To make iRidium's GUI more resembling to the one of the panel we created GUI converter which converts any touchpanel design made in TP4Designer into the format compatible with iRidium. As a result AMX controller treats iRidium like the original panel.
2) AXICO. The support of AXICO controllers was included in the latest version.
The next we're planning to add in near future:
1) ModBUS ASCII, ModBUS RTU, ModBUS TCP
Now we're working at new GUI editor which's supposed to create GUI elements and link it with control elements of controller. By the means of this any controller supported by iRidium will get unique GUI of its own.
We never stop improving iRidium that's why your feedback and comments are very important to us. You may complete the registaration form at our website, get the application for free and try it yourself. iPhone and other mobile devices will really give you brand new experience in home automation control.

The good book says that a woman's crown lies in her head and that is her hair. A woman's hair is everything. There are different types of hair, afro hair, Asian hair and Caucasian hair. It is important to know all sorts of hair types to be able to appreciate their uniqueness. Afro hair is very different from Caucasian hair.
Hair grows out from our hair follicles (tiny holes) which are located within our scalp. The number of hair follicles a person has determines the overall fullness (density) of that person's hair. As an example a person with 100 thousand hair follicles should have more hair (more density) than someone with 70 thousand hair follicles. Click To Read More

Divorce Lawyer Sues Actor Ron Silver
Published 8:00 pm, Monday, January 14, 2002
Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's divorce lawyer, Raoul Felder, has sued "The West Wing" actor Ron Silver for an alleged unpaid $258,000 legal bill.
Felder represented Silver, 55, in his 1997 divorce from former social worker and Self magazine editor Lynne Miller.
In papers filed Friday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, Felder claims Silver paid him $128,288 on a bill of $386,722, leaving a balance of $258,434.
Silver's manager, David Seltzer, said Monday, "Ron and I are not aware of any lawsuit being filed. If Ron had received any (legal) papers, I would know it."
Felder did not return telephone calls for comment.
Silver, who co-starred with Madonna on Broadway in "Speed-the-Plow" and with Jamie Lee Curtis in the movie "Blue Steel," plays Bruno Gianelli on the television White House drama "The West Wing."
Felder represents Giuliani in his divorce from television personality Donna Hanover.
Silver, of Hartsdale, N.Y., and Miller have two children, a son, 22, and a daughter, 18.

The Michelin Power Endurance tire is dedicated to helping you go faster and further. The sportive riders choice.
|Tire Bead:
|Wheel Size:
|700c (622)
The Michelin Power Endurance tire is dedicated to helping you go faster and further.
A new compound specifically developed to increase the wear rate of the tire means less stopping for repairs. Importantly the new compound does not compromise on efficiency giving some impressive gains over Michelin's Pro4 Endurance tire.
These gains equate to 8.6 watts less rolling resistance, and a 20% increase in it's resistance to punctures.
Along with the other tires in the Power range, the Endurance is disc brake ready.
The Michelin tires saga begins 1891, with the invention of the first demountable tire for bicycles. Over the ensuing years, Michelin has never stopped technological innovations for bicycles, such as the first flexible-bead clincher in 1978, the first tire with a high-density carcass in 1983, and the first tire with a high-performance silica rubber compound in 1995. In 2000, Michelin introduced the first tubeless tire for mountain bikes, and has been testing tubeless road tires in competition since 2003. Riding with total confidence in your tires means that grip and safety must be optimal under any conditions, in extreme weather or at high speeds. It's why year after year Michelin introduces technological innovations and develops products with ever-higher performance. Nowadays, the development of bicycle tires benefits from the same research methods used in designing tires for Formula 1 and even the space shuttle. Michelin is the only manufacturer developing tires for such diverse R&D environments. At Michelin they are more than just a tire manufacturer. They are a community of men and women committed to social responsibility. Below are examples of how they strive to reduce our impact on the environment while delivering greater value, riding pleasure and security.

Nature services itself. All the living organism have evolved in concert with each other to accommodate their needs from each other and the abiotic resources around them. That humans (as part of the ecosystem) have found many of their needs attended to by nature (the ecosystem) is no surprise. However, as humans evolved their technologies and numbers, their appetite for resources increased rapidly, and in some cases outpaced the ability of the natural system to provide for humans. Part of the new technology involved restructuring nature to increase output to humans. As part of that changing relationship, we may have forgotten about some of the "services" that nature provided all along. The concept of "ecosystem services" re-emphasizes these services so that we can again come to value them more dearly. In order to do this, we need to understand what ecosystems do, and then think about how that impacts us. The exercise below is to help with that understanding.
Think of yourself as an ecosystem. What inputs do you need? Diagram your water budget (inputs, outputs, intrasystem cycling (if any). Send me your diagram and I'll post it on the blog page. Are we in some way analogous to a forested ecosystem in its use of water? How is the forest's use of water not a cycle? Why do we talk about a water cycle? Now think about calcium. Assuming that you do not have osteoporosis, compare your use of calcium to that of the forested ecosystem described above. Would a diagram help you think about this?

Gov. Andrew Cuomo yesterday released a letter he sent to Sen. Roy McDonald, pledging his full support to the Saratoga Republican if he chose to run on the Independence Party line in November's general election.
Today, McDonald—one of four Republican senators to vote in favor of same-sex marriage—dropped out of the race. (He had previously lost the Republican line in a primary.) But when Cuomo was asked if he would support the two other Republican "yes" votes still running for re-election, he said the situation was different.
Sens. Mark Grisanti, R-Buffalo, and Stephen Saland, R-Poughkeepsie, were successful in primaries and are moving on to the general election.
"(McDonald's) race would have been really uphill as an Independent, and that's why I think it was different than the others," Cuomo said. "Senator Saland won (by a) slim margin and there's no doubt the senator paid a price, but it wasn't politically fatal for Senator Saland. Senator Grisanti actually won; Senator McDonald lost, and that's the difference."
Cuomo, a Democrat, hasn't crossed party lines to make a Senate endorsement at this point, but he did say he was "elated" that Saland won and the he hoped the senator wins re-election.
On Thursday, Cuomo said he will be making individual endorsements depending on the race.
"I'll make decisions on a race-by-race basis as we go forward," Cuomo said. "But I thought this was right from a point of timing for Senator McDonald because I wanted him to know while he was considering his options, I thought this was a piece of information that could be helpful for him."
Lynn Faria, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda, released a statement in support of McDonald.
She said, in part:
"Although recent polling suggested that he could have won the general election, Senator McDonald is a man of principle who made the humble decision to step aside in the interest of his party. We respect that decision. However, it's unfortunate that such a small, extreme faction of the electorate was able to steer the future of the district. New York State has lost a valuable public servant as a result."

We went to the Horizon Suite the last week of May. We were greeted by Rod and Melissa at the suite with a wonderful fruit basket and some breakfast items which was great. The Suite is just beautiful on the 19th floor with the most amazing views. We saw absolutely the most beautiful views including snowcapped mountains every morning and the seeing the Parliament Building and all the city lights at night was a great highlight too. We loved the location because we could walk to everything. Beacon Hill Park is just absolutely beautiful and going to the Harbor to walk around is great. There were so many different types of beautiful flowers everywhere. Everyone we met in Victoria were so friendly and helpful throughout our whole trip. Taking the ferry over to Salt Springs Island was a wonderful day. We loved Willie's Bakery for breakfast and lunch and loved Irish Times for the great chowder and great reuben sandwich. Fisherman's Wharf is within a beautiful walking distance and is great for the Halibut and chips and seeing the floating homes.

We stayed at the Horizon Suite for one week in late September 2015. The suite is very well equipped and furnished including excellent wi-fi. The views from the 19th floor are unbelievable. Check-in and check-out was easy. Rod even left some fruit and other starter items for us. Rented accomodation does not come any better than this suite. Our thanks to Rod and Melissa.

Korean Bond Sales Set for Five-Month High as Economy AcceleratesSaeromi Shin
South Korean companies are poised to sell the most won-denominated bonds in five months as they scramble to lock in near-record-low borrowing costs after the economy expanded at its fastest pace since 2011.
SK Networks Co., the trading arm of South Korea's third-largest industrial group, led offerings this week, bringing expected sales in April to 4.51 trillion won ($4.07 billion), the most since November, preliminary figures compiled by Bloomberg show. Expected issuance of 1 trillion won this week comes after 1.33 trillion won last week, which was the busiest in six weeks, the data show.
South Korea's economy grew the most in two years in the first quarter, fueling speculation that Bank of Korea Governor Kim Choong Soo may resist political pressure for an interest-rate cut after borrowing costs were left unchanged on April 11. The extra yield investors demand to own Korean company notes over similar-maturity government debt has narrowed to 35 basis points from 47 at the end of last year. Three-year sovereign notes were yielding 2.56 percent, near an all-time low of 2.44 percent on April 5.
"Borrowers are trying to secure funds through longer-term notes while interest rates stay low," Chung Yeon Hong, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities Co., said by telephone yesterday. "From investors' point of view, there's no big yield merits in sovereign notes so I believe demand for corporate notes will continue to be solid in May."
SK Networks
SK Networks sold 250 billion won of notes in a two-part sale on April 24. The money will be used for refinancing, the company said in a regulatory filing on April 24. Two other companies plan to price offerings this week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Our bond sale was successful as we actively took advantage of longer-term notes amid the recent trend of low interest rates," SK Networks wrote in an e-mailed response to questions. "The sale helped further boost the stability of our finances."
Posco Energy Co., the power generating unit of Asia's third-biggest steelmaker, raised 200 billion won in five-year and seven-year bonds, Bloomberg-compiled data show. Proceeds will be used to repay debts and to invest in power plant projects, the company said in an e-mail.
Asiana Airlines Inc., the nation's second-largest carrier, raised 150 billion won in three-year and five-year bonds to fund operating capital, according to an April 23 company filing.
South Korea's gross domestic product gained 0.9 percent in the first quarter from the previous three months, up from a 0.3 percent increase in the fourth quarter, the Bank of Korea said yesterday. Before the report, concerns had mounted that Asia's fourth-largest economy would be hurt by record household debt and a stagnant housing market, prompting President Park Geun Hye to unveil a $15 billion extra budget and property stimulus package this month.
The central bank is likely to hold the rate in the coming months based on the stronger-than-expected growth last quarter and expectations of better growth in the second half, Citigroup Inc. analysts led by Jaechul Chang wrote in a report yesterday.

Gwen Stefani admitted to being fascinated by the Japanese fashion scene in her song, Harajuku Girls.
And, after we took a style-watching trip to Tokyo, we can see why. The streets of Shinjuku, Ginza and Shibuya are full of style-savvy Japanese girls whose looks we captured for your inspiration, here.
Maxi lengths are popular, in dresses or skirts and summery pastels of mint, rose or apricot are big news among the most stylish sorts. Meanwhile, platformed soles are high (sorry) on the agenda.

Different people learn differently. As a student you should be aware of your own learning style. There is a good computer program in the Math Learning Center that can help you to assess your own learning style. See a MLC staff member for assistance.
The learning styles listed above are common to us all, however, many of us have one style that is dominant.
In the Math Learning Center, we have a Learning Styles Inventory that every tutor should take in order to find out your own learning style and thus your own tutoring style. This will help you to be a better tutor and help you to realize that the way you learn and the way a tutee learns may not be the same.
In addition, you can encourage your tutees to take the inventory as well, so that they can understand their own ways of learning and thus improve their study and classroom habits.
Ask the MCL staff to show you the details of how to take the Learning Styles Inventory.

BEIJING (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama tried her hand at Chinese calligraphy Friday during a visit to a high school in Beijing at the start of a weeklong visit to China aimed at promoting education and person-to-person exchanges.
Obama was joined by Peng Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Accompanied by her daughters Malia and Sasha and mother Marian Robinson, Obama practiced writing the Chinese character for "eternal" under the guidance of 16-year-old student Lu Yuhong.
"I'm nervous," Obama said. "Don't be nervous," Peng replied in English.
Lu said he too was nervous, as well as "very excited."
"But the first lady was so amicable. She was very approachable," Lu said.
The visit marks the first meeting between Obama and Peng, whose husbands run the world's first and second largest economies and have sought to build a new relationship based on trust and mutual respect.
Peng then accompanied the Obama women to the former Imperial Palace. That was to be followed by a private dinner and a performance. On Saturday, Obama was to speak at prestigious Peking University, and on Sunday visit the Great Wall.
While many Chinese question U.S. diplomatic intentions toward China, American products and culture are hugely popular here and there is a strong undercurrent of respect for the U.S. first family.
Lu said he had bonded with American students over a mutual love of U.S. television series, including his favorite, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I think contact between young people is crucial to the U.S.-China relationship, for it to grow harmoniously in the long run. We need more frequent contacts," Lu said.
Among the six American exchange students attending the event was Audrey Fitz, 17, a classmate of Malia Obama's from the exclusive Sidewell Friends School in northwest Washington, D.C.
"I can't see why anyone does not want to come to a great country," Fitz said.
While political issues aren't expected to feature prominently during the trip, Obama's decision to visit is being seen as a sign of respect for Chinese society and culture, as well as a way of humanizing the relationship between the two nations.
By a similar measure, the glamorous Peng — a singer and entertainer who holds an honorary rank equivalent to major general — has broken the mold of reticent, virtually invisible Chinese ladies, using her fame to promote AIDS awareness and other causes.
The Obama women are to fly Monday to the northern city of Xi'an, home to the famed Terra Cotta Warriors Museum, then visit a panda breeding facility outside Chengdu in southwestern China.

The usefulness of the restriction element is that > is allows you to describe each restriction independently, such as: This one restricts both eyeColor and hairColor to be both green and brown. This is perfectly OK, semantically, but probably not very useful. The problem occurs when a proper subset of a set of semantically-meaningful triples is also a set of semantically-meaningful triples. Then the meaning of the superset cannot be present without the meaning of the subset. We have made several annoying decisions that were mandated by this problem. If instead we had a more-powerful grouping construct we would not have had to do this. peterReceived on Tuesday, 23 January 2001 13:24:02 UTC

"School is Boring": Nicholas Negroponte on Education, the XO Laptop, and Life After Intel
One day in early November, the first batch of mass-produced XO laptops—the little green-and-white machines designed by the One Laptop Per Child Foundation (OLPC) to revolutionize education in the IT-starved developing world—rolled off an assembly line in Changshu, China.
Coming less than three years after the launch of the so-called "$100 laptop" effort by former MIT Media Lab director Nicholas Negroponte, the manufacturing milestone was cause for some back-slapping within OLPC, and might have been expected to quell a few of the organization's outside critics.
But instead, the foundation has spent the last few months bogged down in bad publicity. It started with a Wall Street Journal article that concluded Negroponte's project had been "derailed" by canceled orders, cost overruns, and competition with established hardware and software companies. Then came a round of extraordinarily bitter and public infighting between OLPC and Intel, the foundation's largest monetary supporter and the company Negroponte had hoped to lean on for help promoting and distributing the XO around the world. A fragile rapprochement between the two organizations, negotiated last summer after Intel chairman Craig Barrett traded barbs in a 60 Minutes segment, fell apart completely on January 3 with Intel's stormy departure from the OLPC board.
Intel and OLPC have given conflicting accounts of the final dispute: the giant chipmaker says Negroponte was trying to strong-arm the company into abandoning its low-cost Classmate laptop (an XO competitor), while Negroponte says Intel wouldn't stop bad-mouthing the XO to education ministries in OLPC's target countries.
Whatever the case, Negroponte is now working to shift the focus away from past controversies and onto the foundation's future, especially its educational mission. While getting the newly minted XOs into the hands of children is obviously a key step, Negroponte talks even more about the laptop's potential to upend the way kids learn in developing countries where schoolwork is a dull, regimented affair.
"It's not about selling laptops," Negroponte told Bob and me when we visited OLPC at its Cambridge, MA, headquarters one day last week. "It's about leveraging the children themselves"—meaning, putting better tools for exploration and collaboration into their hands, and encouraging them to play with these tools in ways that will (in theory, at least) rewrite the old rules of the classroom.
"Most people think that kids drop out of school in the developing world to go to work and earn money for their family, or to work in the fields, or to take care of the siblings or something like that," Negroponte says. "That happens—but the primary reason is that school is boring. It's not relevant." He believes the XO laptop is versatile enough to help change that.
And he could be right. On the day Bob and I visited, the foundation's Kendall Square offices were noisily overflowing with engineers and educators participating in one of its regular learning workshops. Negroponte and the other OLPC managers we were scheduled to see—software president Walter Bender and chief learning architect David Cavallo, of whom more later—were being pulled in and out of meetings, and during one break between interviews, I was given an XO to play with.
