So I saw this Svedka ad... it was a sexy sexy robot with SVEDKA written across her thigh.
In case you can't see the website's animation (either because you don't feel like proving you're 21 or you just don't care), here's the ad in an animated .gif that I screencapped from the website.
My first thought was, "Either I've been imbibing too much feminism lately, or this is crazy in so many ways I don't even know where to start."
Well, I decided the answer is probably both, so keep this in mind. There's been a lot of feminism in my brain lately, but I'm not crazy. This is worth talking about.
Now, as this article points out, these sexy roboladies have been something of a fad lately. I don't want TV anymore, so of course I wouldn't notice this trend until it bled down into whatever trash tabloid I was reading.
The article I just mentioned points out that Heineken just did something similar.
Hard to tell where to start really. The question of "why a woman?" isn't nearly as easy to answer as "why a robot?" After all, once you figure out why they'd want a woman, you'd know why that woman would have to be a robot, right?
I'm going to try not to become Donna Haraway here, though the gods know that I do love me some H-Dizzle.
Anyway, let's tangle with the woman thing first even though the question kind of sucks. Why have a woman advertising booze? Well, why the hell not? The whole point of drinking is to have fun! Fun=revelry=(at least much of the time) sex. I don't think the point of this ad is to convince you that Svedka can get men laid by horny robot broads, but I felt like explaining it beyond a simple "sex sells, let's move on."
But let's move on anyway.
What sort of woman is this? Well, she's a plastic skeleton, which means that she doesn't need organs or anything (or clothes). SHe's basically just eyes, lips, tits, and an ass. Oh, and those lovely thighs that scream SVEDKA. The only thing you'd expect such a perfectly streamlined sexual image to have that Svedka girl doesn't is hair. I guess her skull is pretty nice, though. Maybe that'll have to do.
So she's a woman boiled down to the physical essentials. But what's she like? Well she wants to party. Presumably with you, if you've got the cash to buy her favorite bottled liquor. Y'see, we women are like this. You buy us the appropriate fluids and we're yours for a night.
Well, some of us are. But that's beside the point.
Now we add in the robot thing. Robots are customizable and programmable creatures, at least in common representations (and don't get me started on negative robot stereotypes in the media; I'll go on a rant defending a demographic that doesn't even exist yet). But basically it's a control thing. You can have her as you want her, how you want her, when you want her, and never have to worry about what she wants. Heck, if it's important that she want you... you can always just program her to "feel" that way.
Don't get me wrong. I love robots. I'd be one if we had the technology. However, we don't. All we have are predictions and the startling successes that engineers have had in living up to those speculations.
There's also the fact that many of these presentations are (not surprisingly) tied to sex. In fact, there's a whole genre of erotic tastes called technosexuality that deals with this. As the linked site states, this does seem to go all the way back to Greek myth. So humans aren't recently freaky or anything. There's always been a little kink lurking at the fringes of discoveries like these.
So why's this special, then? Why point this out if it's so damned common?
I think it was the fact that a woman's thighs are such a highly-sexualized body part in my culture, and the fact that hers so boldly announce her status as property.... it kind of struck something. Add to that the usual tie with sin and debauchery (a partygirl robot selling booze... what could be better?) and Svedka Girl caught my eye. I doubt I'll forget her anytime soon.
Still trying to decide if I want to buy the vodka, though.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'sprout' tag.
Soups and stews are my comfort food. Chickpeas are a big part of my healing treatment. When Leo makes this chickpea stew, I'm in a happy place. What else is in here? Cilantro topper, onions, green peas, potatoes, lentils, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, spinach. Served with a side of roasted brussel sprouts!
Signing Off,
If you've never had a Chavocado you need to make one right now.
If you're too lazy to make one but also lucky enough to live in my hometown of Vancouver, then you need to head to Sweet Cherubim and taste in the delight that is the Chavocado.
This could be added to my most favorite-est meal, ever. So I had to re-create it at home.
Skillet or pan
Avocado, 1 sliced
Tomato, off the vine, 1 sliced
Sprouts, sunflower sprouts shown in the picture
Organic Cheese, your preference!
Warm up the skillet on low heat. Place the chapati on the skillet and let it get warm for 2-3 min.
Layer on the cheese, tomato, avocado, and sprouts.
Fold the chapati closed and keep in place with a toothpick.
Let the cheese melt.
Remove the toothpick and flip over to warm up the other side a bit.
Chavocado goodness.
Sweet Cherubim adds a couple more ingredients including a tasty dressing. I've yet to figure out a dressing to add to my homemade version, but it tastes fine without, so I'm happy for now. If you have suggestions, let me know!
The Ryan plant (aka. Radish plant) started to sprout this morning! It's been 3 days since it was first planted.
Imagine me this morning, watering the plants, and I get to The Ryan, and see these small little sprouts. I then proceed to run to my camera saying "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG this is so exciting!!".
I'm thrilled, to say the least.
That is all.

"The Skirt" by Emily R. is extremely understandable by any teen girl. Who you are inside will not be changed, even if physicaly you look diffrent. Apparience isnt always the same thing in a person. Just because my skirt was short and i looked pretty, didnt mean i was going to get more friends. Im still the same dorky girl in the inside. People who like me will like me for who i am and not what I look like. As long as i feel comfortable no matter how i look, and i dress how i want. Thanks Emily for opening many eyes of teenage girls who thought the opposite way.

2. I think removing prayer from schools is fair to those who don't practice a religion. I admit I don't know a lot about the history of evangelicalism in the US, but their was the flavor of the movement strongly present even up through Bush's first term. As time goes on, I think more people will question that authority (removing prayer, removing "God" from the Pledge of Alleigance, etc)- to move the establishment to a more "equalized" (from my perspective) system, but I don't necessarily think this backlash will be enough to unhinge the Christian majority hold on the nation. Reduce the influence of evangelical preachers, yes.
Again, I am confused by this mixed message. Are you saying you agree with conservative Christians? Who are the "Christians"? Are "conservative Christians" also the "baby boomers" who frown upon MTV (who are the normal "Christians")?I could go on and on about this. But I think my main point here is, I'm not the one saying Christians have "lost the culture"'; conservative Christians themselves have been saying it for a few decades.
Or are you saying that "conservative Christians" (not evangelical Christians) think the country is going the wrong way on both ends (the evangelical and the MTV) and disapprove of the politics of the evangelical churches?
Who's disapproving of whom?

Week 4: New Media, Beliefs, Politics & Ethics
"True information does good" – Julian Assange, 2010
Wikileaks founder, editor and fellow Queenslander Julian Assange explains in his 2010 interview with The Economist (2010) that his intentions for the creation of Wikileaks is to expose highly confidential and controversial information to the general public, hoping they would further engage with the reports and strive for "political reform". I believe Wikileaks is one of the many success stories of using the internet for the exposure and participation for political and social agendas.
I believe the internet has become a valuable asset in a modern world of growing corruption and injustice as it has revolutionised the way we learn, communicate and participate when it comes to politics. Ivan's post elaborates how the internet has brought us closer together due to the growth of networking, resulting in increase engagement as a collective group for the same cause.
Shirky also explains, (2011) "social media have become coordinating tools for nearly all of the world's political movements" , further mentioning the recent political turmoils in Egypt, Spain and the Philippines as examples. Hanan's post describes the importance of internet freedom as the deny of access can lead to situations in Iran where the people are silenced.
I believe the internet should be the one place in our lives where we have ultimate power to expose and have access to completely uncensored, unfiltered and honest material. It has become a new and powerful form of freedom of speech which should never be taken away.

Local authorities obstruct Roma in obtaining documents in Slovenia
A Romani man faces possible deportation because local authorities have refused to assist him in obtaining documents relevant for his residence permit application. Mr Sead Alimanović, a Romani man originally from Bosnia, has lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia, since 1985, with a break from 1992 to 1997, when he was in Germany. For eleven years, he has been legally married to a Slovene citizen, and their three children also all have Slovene citizenship. However, as of April 19, 2001, Mr Alimanović had been unable to obtain a residence permit in Slovenia, due to restrictive policies of the Slovene authorities pertaining to the status of foreigners and citizenship procedures.
Mr Alimanović told the ERRC on March 21, 2001, that his temporary visa had expired on February 17. On February 2, 2001, he had applied for a three-year residence permit pursuant to Article 37 of the Slovenian Aliens Act of 1999. According to this article, foreigners who are immediate family members of Slovene citizens have the right to apply for three-year residence permits, with the possibility of later extension. On March 12, however, he received a letter from the Office for Passports and Foreigners of the Sector for Administrative Internal Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, Administrative Unit Ljubljana, where he had applied for the visa, informing him that they required an additional document proving that he has housing in Slovenia.
This state of affairs has serious negative consequences for Mr Alimanović. His father died recently, in Bosnia, and Mr Alimanović was unable to attend the funeral because of the unsolved visa situation - if he had left the country, he would likely not have been able to return to Slovenia, as Bosnian citizens must obtain visas before entering Slovenia. Moreover, Mr Alimanović had been stopped by the police in January 2001, and officers had asked to see his documents. He showed them his driver's licence, and a certificate issued by the Office for Administrative Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Interior proving that he is the carrier of a valid temporary six-month visa for Slovenia. Mr Alimanović did not have his Bosnian passport with him. For not having a passport with him, the police fined him 10,000 Slovene tolars (approximately 45 euros). Mr Alimanović told the ERRC he was concerned that, if authorities persist in refusing to issue him a residence certificate, he will be unable to obtain a new visa and will therefore be forced to leave Slovenia, and will be forcibly separated from his wife and children. On March 26, Mr Alimanović filed an appeal with the Office for Passports and Foreigners, explaining that he has been unable to obtain a document proving that he has housing in Slovenia. On March 29, the ERRC sent a letter of concern to the same office, as well as to the Housing Fund indicating concerns that Slovenia risks contravening several provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights by continuing to deny Mr Ali-manović a residence permit. As of April 18, the ERRC had received no response to the letter.
ERRC field research in Slovenia in February 2001 documented a number of cases similar to that of Mr Alimanović - of Roma who are originally from other former Yugoslav republics, who lived in Slovenia when the country was a part of the Yugoslav federation, and who lost the right to residence when Slovenia became independent in 1991. Currently, it is estimated that at least 75% of such Roma do not have Slovene citizenship or legal residence in Slovenia. In addition, numerous Roma testified to the ERRC about cases in which they felt they were singled out by the police because they looked Romani, and arbitrarily charged for offences related to a lack of adequate documents.

February 2, 2018
The MMA membership on Jan. 20 overwhelmingly endorsed three policy resolutions, on the important issues of local aid, a prospective ballot question to reduce the sales tax rate, and climate change.
The resolutions send an important message to state leaders about municipal priorities and will guide the MMA's work in the year ahead.
Revenue sharing
The "Resolution Ensuring a Strong and Enduring Fiscal Partnership Between Cities and Towns and State Government in Fiscal 2019 and Beyond" was developed by the MMA's Fiscal Policy Committee.
The resolution calls on state government to provide cities and towns with an adequate share of state revenues, an effective municipal tax system, and tools to help manage long-term liabilities. It identifies priorities voiced by local officials from all parts of the state on municipal and school aid and many other areas where state and local governments intersect.
The resolution points out that "adequate and stable" state revenue sharing – through the Cherry Sheet, targeted appropriations and grant programs – is absolutely necessary to ensure healthy and strong cities and towns. Cities and towns, the resolution points out, have become increasingly over-reliant on the tightly capped property tax to fund local budgets and deliver essential services.
The resolution calls on the state to fulfill its funding commitments on items such as special education, charter school reimbursements, student transportation, out-of-district vocational education, and payments in lieu of taxes.
The resolution calls on the state to phase in the recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission to update the Chapter 70 "foundation budget" minimum adequate spending standards for special education and health insurance for school employees and retirees, and to fully recognize the cost of services for low-income, English Language Learner and other students who would benefit from more intensive services.
The resolution also requests a $300 million per year Chapter 90 local road and bridge program, indexed to grow with inflation, and support for new flexibility to adopt local-option taxes and other revenues.
Sales tax
The "Resolution in Opposition to the Ballot Question that Would Reduce the Sales and Use Tax Rate" was also proposed by the MMA Fiscal Policy Committee.
The resolution points out that the state's sales and use tax accounted for nearly one-quarter of all tax collections received by state government, and the proposed reduction of the rate from 6.25 percent to 5 percent would reduce state revenue by an estimated $1.25 billion. The Fiscal Policy Committee, with the endorsement of the MMA Board of Directors, argues that the state could not withstand a tax cut of this magnitude without experiencing significant fiscal distress, which would hamper the state's ability to fund critical programs such as unrestricted municipal aid and Chapter 70 education aid.
On Dec. 21, 2017, the secretary of the Commonwealth said that a sufficient number of signatures had been submitted and certified for the proposed initiative petition to move forward in the process. If the Legislature does not approve the question early this year, proponents will have until June 19 to file an additional 10,792 signatures in order to qualify for the ballot in November.
The proposal would not change the local-option sales tax on meals.
Climate change
The "Resolution Supporting a Local-State-Federal Partnership to Combat the Effects of Climate Change" was proposed by the MMA Policy Committee on Energy and the Environment.
Due to climate change, municipalities will be experiencing severe weather events at an increasing frequency. The impacts will include sea-level rise, coastal flooding and erosion, powerful hurricanes and storms, drought, wildfires, and extreme temperatures.
The resolution lays out a number of policy positions related to climate policy, including infrastructure resilience and adaptation strategies, mitigation through energy efficiency and renewable energy, and emergency management and response. It calls for support for the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, additional programs for municipalities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency, support for municipal engagement on renewable energy, support for the development and implementation of climate adaptation plans, a $1 billion water infrastructure bond bill, and assistance for municipalities to review planning and zoning bylaws to increase resiliency.
The three resolutions were developed over the summer and fall by MMA policy committees comprising local officials from across the state, and they were endorsed in November by the MMA Board of Directors.
Some 300 officials representing their individual municipalities voted on the resolutions at the MMA's Annual Business Meeting in Boston.
While discussion was welcomed during the Annual Business Meeting, the policy committees that drafted the resolutions also solicited member comments for a four-week period prior to the meeting.

Shopping Spree!Written by Nicholas - Published on December 13, 2009
Players spending their amassed wealth can be boring. Players flip through 4 books trying to find the mechanically optimal item for their character. As a DM you're left to stare at a table full of people doing this. Then there's always the one player who takes twice as long as everyone else. So now the whole group is waiting for one person to decide if his pocket change is better spent on a bag of tricks or a pouch of platinum. Most DMs will just do this stuff out of game or rush through it, but I think the shopping trip is an opportunity!
Breathe Life into the Town
Adventurers, as made clear by the name, spend their time adventuring. Even when they hang around in towns or cities it is usually combating a criminal syndicate or disposing the changeling that stole the prince's throne. It is very seldom that they get to rub elbows with the average folks. Being out and about to spend their money is the rare chance to do that, so turn these folks into real characters! The wizard has to deal with an old mage whose mind is long gone and hardly makes sense anymore. The fighter gets trapped by a blacksmith who insists on regaling the fighter with all the stories of his old adventuring days. The rogue catches the eye of a flirty shop girl and now has someone to come back and talk to later.
This also makes the town feel much more real. As the players get to know the personalities in town, things can change for them. A familiar shop might go out of business while another expands into a franchise. People get married, split up, retire and all sorts of things. Do prices go up when the tavern owner's son takes over the business? These are the things that make your locations seem like part of a larger world.
The Special Stock
WotC developer Peter Schaefer wrote a great post on his blog about a special class of magic items. Essentially he says that it is often fun to have magic items more powerful than the traditional balance, but weaker than artifacts. In order to keep everyone from just taking these stronger items, you need to leave them entirely in the hands of the DM.
I bring this up because the shopping trip is a great place to introduce these items. After the fighter listens patiently to all of the blacksmith's stories the smith offers the fighter his old adventuring sword. As the cleric walks down the road a shady street vendor offers to sell him a ring once owned by a saint, for a hefty fee of course. These special items are a great find for the players and can reward them for caring about the normal people around them.
New Path to Adventure
Once the players know the town better, it can springboard them into more personal adventures. The senile old mage may request the group to find a rare herb that will clear up the fog in his memory. Once they do he can reward them with some newly recovered knowledge. Maybe the flirty shop girl has a brother who was just captured by a criminal organization for gambling debts. She would be very grateful if the group could rescue him.
The heroes are always doing good things, but in this case they have a face associated with the deed. They are thanked every time they return to the store and maybe get discounts on future goods. Enough of this sort of mission can give them a reputation as local legends.
As I said at the top, shopping can be boring. There are some things that you need to avoid to make it work for your game. Players should have a good idea of what they want going into the store. If they must haggle, settle the whole process with a single roll. If only one players has money to waste, don't make a big deal of it. Remember that shopping can be a social encounter but it should be fun for the whole group!
Do your players go on shopping sprees? Do you hum the shopping montage theme from "Pretty Woman"? Tell us about it in the comment section!

M14 a good idea?

When I bough my CYMA M14 I was pretty skeptical, but I don't regret it. It's one of the many guns I've bought without regretting. Dis assebly is a major pain, but there barrel length and surprising amount of compatibility with standard V2s. My only complaints are
Trigger wouldn't puch back after shooting (Factory lemon. Newly manufactured versions dont have this problem
Proprietary barrel. You cans till find a lot of barrels for the M14.
Poprietary (spur?) gear. I think it's the spur. Could be a different one. Not a big deal at all. unless you're making this a godly setup, shouldn't matter
Other then that, they're pretty good stock. I'm currently running it with just proper shimmng and new grease, and an M90 spring for gaming it indoors until outdoor season.

The 30-Second Trick for Ethermine
Ethermine permits you to set the minimum payment threshold necessary to get your rewards. After the coinbase block reward goes to zero, transaction payments are likely to be the only means for them to create the money they have to keep running their operation. The transaction pool comprises all the transactions which were submitted to the Ethereum network but have yet to be allocated to a block.
Account verification may take some time. By clicking on Orders you'll be able to check status of your purchase. You need to create the account.
What's Actually Going on with Ethermine
GPU miners are a lot more efficient, but only as long as you've got a discrete graphics card. Unless you're attempting to buy used hardware, getting a GPU is going to be difficult in the brief term. If you choose this mining is something which you wish to carry on doing, a PC with a graphics card isn't the most optimized system available.
Additionally, it boasts plenty of additional functionality (for instance, fan management) which isn't found in the other miners. Its interface is quite intuitive, easy, and may be used by amateurs. Even if there are lots of options that have been implemented, there's always danger as a result of third parties.
The great thing about the servers' location is they provide a great atmosphere for mining. Greatest Bitcoin exchanges also supply choices depending on your location means. Linked AccountsAnother thing to notice is that all the Suprnova pools are linked with the exact same account.
What Everybody Dislikes About Ethermine and Why
Some additional attention needs to be taken here. The order is now provisioned. Bitcoin use and value will keep growing.
While you can look for the block number above. As soon as you click the blocks it's possible to see all the appropriate info. The wallet address is provided to you.
So How About Ethermine?
Instead, there are many sites that enables anyone to bring in money, in the kind of cryptocurrency, for free or via doing simple tasks. You may have to give it a moment or two before you can join again. All you need are a number of essential things and some important parts of information.
Ethermine at a Glance
Merely a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are on the exchange markets. PPS payment schemes require an extremely large reserve of 10,000 BTC in order to guarantee they possess the method of enduring a streak of terrible luck. Virtually every Bitcoin exchange features two-factor-authentication.
There's ROI calculator which predict price based on the recent pattern. Only once an order is settled, a fee should be paid. If you would like to mine then you've got to consider the costs.
The very first thing you ought to do is download Claymore's. With the latest boom in the cryptocurrency market, many users in the community have started to mine coins as a good way to supplement their earnings. Finding the right miner is essential as an inefficient one is going to just waste power but find no returns.
You'll only have to put in your electricity rate to figure your net profits. It is very important to look at any variable costs you may incur during the mining to pinpoint your profitability. Which you'll be able to assume how much you will make from Ethereum without having to spend a penny At first, Your earning is able to look small, but should you stay consistent, you will notice your earnings grow.
A work in the start of the week could possibly be worth more than the very same work at the conclusion of the week. Contemplating that a large part of the expenses of running the MMUs will be set in negotiations before deployment, the period of time should be rather short. Great then you've come to the perfect place.
The interface on the landing page is simple to navigate and gives high-level information regarding every one of the cryptocurrencies out there. It's ok to just select all the default options during installation. Therefore, before you may develop into a node you require the entire copy before validations can be accomplished.
Ethermine: the Ultimate Convenience!
There isn't any way for you to be sure what your VPN does. Thus, the Cloud Mining is only acceptable for Beginners very great. In case the web is down, you may have someone to phone to have it fixed.
Ethermine – Overview
If you collect some variety of shards, you will wind up with the complete network state. The primary reason for rebranding was that community and new users would understand that it's a severe coins and it doesn't support any illegal activity. A true trading platform can trade in bitcoins together with the rest of the altcoins.
Amazing care has to be taken here though as there are numerous fraudulent ICO campaigns offering absolutely nothing with regard to future financial potential. The fourth component which plays its function in the brink of the ideal Bitcoin customers is network fees. Currently there are many distinct approaches used.
Unfortunately, you probably won't be in a position to create much profit mining altcoins. If however, you're aware of the competitive nature of Bitcoin mining and still need to acquire in the game, here you're going to be able to get the best Bitcoin mining hardware available. Mining by inefficient brute force will get obsolete. however, it is not going to happen overnight.
An individual may also decide to become involved in mining cryptocurrencies. You may check in your Ether mining software which you're really being paid in accordance with your shares contributed. Anyone who doesn't die, or has little time to cope with the matter of mining completely, is for Cloud Mining just the correct thing.
Most significantly, the miner doesn't need to keep the mining rig themselves. How to construct an Ethereum miner.
So far as minimum system requirements are involved, it isn't a very demanding program. If you are in charge of a validating node, you will have to present some type of collateral in the shape of ETH. Assumptions The initial step in the procedure is to get all your hardware.
The testnet deployment is totally functional in regard to efficient proof-of-work verification. The programming piece of Eth mining can be quite tough if you are a newcomer to Linux or programming generally. The end result of digital mining process known as a proof of work system.

Emergency Department staff attitudes towards people presenting in chronic pain: a qualitative study

Objective: Patients who experience their non-malignant chronic pain as intolerable sometimes present at Emergency Departments (EDs). However, since emergency medical services are set up to provide rapid treatment for acute injury or illness; there is potential for misunderstanding and disappointment. Literature on the topic of ED staff attitudes towards chronic pain patients is minimal, USA-based and methodologically unsatisfying. We carried out an in-depth, qualitative study identifying the attitudes and narratives of ED staff around people in chronic pain. Design: Focus groups with ED staff; qualitative analysis of the group transcripts Setting: Regional trauma centre in the UK Subjects: Three focus groups, 20 ED clinicians, mean ED experience 8.1 years Results: The clinical challenge of treating patients in the ED stemmed from a mismatch between patients' needs and what the setting can deliver. Participants reported frustration with the system and with chronic pain patients' perceived inconsistencies and requirements. However, they also highlighted good practice and acknowledged their frustration around not being able to help this group. Conclusions: ED staff found people presenting at ED with chronic pain to be a challenging and frustrating population to treat. Staff were constrained by the fast-paced nature of their jobs as well as the need to prioritise emergency cases, and so were unable to spend the time needed by chronic pain patients. This was seen as being bad for staff, and for the patient experience. Staff suggested that care could be improved by appropriate information, signposting and with time invested in communication with the patient.

How and when should I plant my gemmea?
How and when should I plant my gemmea?
Just lay them on top of the medium and cover with saran wrap or something to keep the humidity high. You should sow your gemmae as soon as you get them!

Rory on the party circuit
Since first birthdays are pretty important, they are also worth celebrating. We most recently attended Eli Whitinger's (lisa truong's son) 1st birthday party. Rory I think has figured out that these events are more then just play dates and particularly likes the singing and the special treat that comes with the candle! As soon as she hears the song and sees the candle, her eyes light up and she starts saying MMMMmmmmm, MMMMMmmmmm. She does love Eli and liked helping him open all his presents. She won the pin the banana on the tree and dug her box of take-home goodies. She is becoming a pro at this stuff and is looking forward to cousin Quincy's birthday in June. Happy Birthday Eli!

OSU Spring game
A couple of weeks ago we headed to corvallis to celebrate Shahni's birthday as well as catch the OSU spring football game. For those of you not familiar, it is the greatest. The Beavers scrimmage each other so no matter what we win, tickets are only $5, you still get to tail gate, and the stadium is open seating so you can sit in great seats. It was super fun b/c this is the first time we got to see rory's reaction to all since last fall she was still fairly little. She of course was a champ and brought new meaning to tailgating. literally sitting on a tail gate but with sippy cup and banana instead of beer and brats. There were several highlights of the day other then the tailgating. my first fav (luckily no one got hurt, so it is just funny) was when pat was carrying rory on his shoulders to the game and ran her directly head first into a overhead pole that hangs the banner- it made my heart stop,but upon rory laughing we were all able to laugh as well. my next fav. was when the announcer yelled "James Rogers scores a touchdown" and Rory instantly threw her hands in the air. It was extra funny, b/c she kept insisting on having her own seat (one of the many reasons she may not attend many games in the fall) but wasn't heavy enough to make the fold-up seat stay down. So as she threw her hands up, she kind of got folded up in the seat- again she laughed, so we laughed. My last fav was our pre-game activity of attending OSU's vet. school pet day. It is essentially all the vet school students out there with all sorts of animals. they had a petting zoo, tiny chicks you could hold, horses you could ride, a million dogs, and a giant blow up slide to ride down. Rory was totally into it all. she loves dogs and usually I-spying just one can cause her to leave bruises on her chest as she does the sign for dog- with all of the dogs there i don't even knew where to start. She got to pet a duck, a goat, a horse, a huge irish wolfhound, and hold tiny chicks. Dad, linda and madi went with us and then brady and owen met us near the end. Owen loved the slide as did rory. she went on madi's lap the first time and then insisted on going alone- I was pretty impressed with her bravery as it was a fairly big slide- but she loved every minute of it. Pet day will definitely be a new spring time tradition! It also totally got me excited for football. soon enough, i don't want to wish away summer.... ~Brittany

Solo SR trip
So Pat and I had a free weekend near the end of April and so we decided to head to Sunriver. It was a weird time b/c it wasn't cold enough to ski, but not warm enough to swim or bike, so that combined with it being just us with no grandparents or visitors made for a very quiet and relaxing trip. We hung out, I went shopping, we cooked all our meals, went to bed early and hung out at the park with Rory. All in all an uneventful trip, but I thought it blog worthy due to these pics from the park. She tried the swing for the first time and was able to "pump" her legs to be a self-sufficient swinger- very cool. She also became obsessed with the slide and made pat send her down it like a million times. All the sudden the choice on the maloney's part to buy the house next to park instead of on the golf course is looking like absolute brilliance. Enjoy the pics. ~Britt

I can almost smell our future barbecue adventures. We have taken on the project of putting pavers down in our yard. Home Depot quoted me some ridiculous amount, so in true Sahnow fashion, we decided to give it a go on our own. My family friend and old boss Gary has been helping with the technical aspect and we have called in lots of favors to get helpers. Although it looks at this point like a giant sand box, you can not believe what it has taken to get us to this point. over a 1,000 lbs of debris dug and wheelbarrowed out, over 20,800lbs of gravel and sand wheelbarrowed in and lots of sore muscles have gotten us to the point where we can start to think of what to do with the 4 and 1/2 pallets of pavers. I had no idea the mass amount of just moving heavy objects this was going to entail. the good news is that it should be done (weather permitting) in time to have some great bbq this summer. stay tuned for updates and get ready to help us prove that the work was worth it- we plan on having lots of company! ~Brittany

Zoo Trips
So we have been hitting the zoo a lot lately and I wanted to add some pics from various trips. Rory and I took Mandy with us one time (yeah for mandy being in PDX, and for having some time off! She just graduated from medical school, congrats Dr. Mandy) and another time we went on a Sat (talk about a zoo!) so that Madi and Pat could join us. Anyway, it is super fun to take her these days because not only is she totally thrilled with all the animals, she is getting more signs for animals, so she goes to each exhibit and signs the animal. It is really cool to see her make connections in that little brain of hers as well as be so able to communicate her thoughts. It is also super cool to see the animals respond to her. there have been several times when she will stand by the glass and an animal will come up and check her out as much as she is checking them out. Somehow they are drawn to the babies. I love the zoo in the spring b/c the animals are out when it is a bit overcast, and the crowds are generally lower. Also, Rory is totally growing taller, she is really confident in her walking and so she loves to just cruise all over the zoo, the stroller becomes just storage space. Joanne has been taking her on their days together too, so Rory is also very familiar with the gift shop. I don't think they know her name (I recently took her to a toy store near joanne's house and they recognized Rory and asked who was I and why do I have her.- I guess they have been shopping a lot!) yet, but she acts like she owns the place. It is pretty funny. Later, BrittPS- notice the beads, I am not kidding, they are a permanent fixture these days!

Yeah for the return of farmer's market
So it's not Rory's 1st Farmer's Market, but the first that she was old enough to enjoy. This has once again become a favorite weekend activity. The only down side is since we moved we can no longer walk and now we are one of the people who has to drive into the city and park miles away and be mocked by old us. We did a lot of mocking of those driving/parking when we lived downtown. Anyway, these pics were cute of miss Farmer Rory. ~Britt

Mardi Gras
So I have been terrible about blogging lately, mostly because we are in the 2nd half of the term, so I suddenly have midterms to grade and a final to write, and actual work to do while at home. I will try to get caught up as well as be better from now on. So recently we were at our new home away from home HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery). It is super close to our house, is totally green, serves great organic food (pizza, burgers, etc) and really yummy original organic beers, and best of all is totally kid friendly- so you can see why we basically live there. Anyway, we were there for dinner and Rory was totally flirting with this table of 30 something guys. Well of course she was wearing an assortment of accessories (she will not leave home w/o beads, glasses, hats, or some combination on her person) so they started calling her Mardi Gras. "uhoh here comes mardi gras again." they were really nice to her, but Pat was less then thrilled with the nickname or the bead wearing for that matter. (wait til he sees that I put up naked mardi gras pictures!!) I think this story lost it's point somewhere, so I will just add the pictures. THese are all from april and demonstrate her new love of accessories. sorry for the rambling... ps- I especially like that her beads frame her tummy- I am sure that this picture will torment her

Trusting God Into the Unknown
It's easy to "say" we would follow God anywhere, but it's a whole different story when He actually calls us to step out into the complete unknown and follow Him by faith without having a clue how things are going to turn out. Doing so requires us to relinquish control of our lives and trust that whatever God brings about is ultimately best. Are you willing to trust God that way?

Everyone loves a beach holiday; cocktails and beer by the pool, swimming in the sea, sunbathing on the sand, freshly cooked seafood on the terrace. People love it so much that they fly thousands of miles for the pleasure. Yet for those of us who live in Vietnam, it's right on our doorstep.

Secluded islands in the tropics often come stamped with the word 'paradise'. Nowhere is that more evident than at Vietnam's most isolated archipelago, Con Dao.

If your relaxation ambitions tend to hit a ceiling at 'fairly typical' experiences in 'pretty good' locations, Amanoi will truly blow your mind. Taking out the minor issue of whether or not you have the cash — or maybe you can afford the occasional front row seat to 'how the other half lives' — book now, because you'll be investing in an experience that has absolutely nothing to do with 'fairly typical' or 'pretty good'.

Robotics banquet
It seems like Matt just jumped on the robotics team train a few months ago, but he assures me that it's been 4 years. It took me a while to understand how robotics works, from the teams at the school to the competitions themselves, and just when I think I have a handle on it, he goes and graduates. I can tell you that he has learned so much from participating in robotics: using tools and machines to manufacture parts, deciding on a strategy which determines the robot's functionality, then deciding what parts and assemblies would work best, to ordering parts within a budget, and having to work with other students who have slightly different ideas, leadership, teaching younger kids how to work machines and how generally to be a good parts maker, team strategy and so much more. I am of the opinion that his time in robotics has taught him a great deal more than his actual public education.
The banquet was held at a golf club and the dinner was pasta, veg, and salad. I allowed myself to eat not according to my diabetic diet, which meant I had garlic bread, both pastas (half a cup each, so I did some restricting) and half a plated of veg/salad. Then I had a piece of cake. It did spike my blood glucose, but the next morning, I was back to where I should be.
Matt got some awards at the banquet, and best one was MBP (Make Bill Proud--Bill is one of the coaches and he wanted the team to have fun, which he said would in turn make them a better team). This award was given to team members who had fun, who had creative ideas to lift team spirit and reach out to others in new ways. The team pilot got one of the MBPs for her constant dancing during down time while waiting for the matches to start. She was on camera a lot and basically showed whoever was watching that she was having a good time no matter what the circumstances were. Matt got it for creating, scouting for, and awarding the Spaghetti awards. The Spaghetti awards were given to other robotics teams at competitions and were judged on two questions: 1) How much spaghetti can your robot hold? and 2) What is your school's spaghetti policy? Best answers were awarded a can of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti, and livened the mood in the pits. It also generated good will between teams. The Spaghetti award is something Matt totally would come up with--it's absurdist and surprising. The third MBP was given to the boys who came up with the KING TeC mixtape that was given out at competitions and is apparently highly coveted. The teams' motto and goal is to have more fun than everyone else, and from all accounts, they succeeded.
I took some pictures of the awards but they are still on my other camera. You'll have to be satisfied with these.

A state MP will protest outside Bega's Service NSW centre on Wednesday against an amendment he says will lead to the privatisation of the government service.
Shadow minister for Finance, Services and Property Clayton Barr is concerned about changes to the Service NSW Act that will allow the government to outsource work to seven private companies.
He said there is a risk that customers' sensitive information could be transferred into the hands of companies that could use it for their own financial advantage.
"I don't want to see a community service being run like a for profit business," Mr Barr said.
The companies listed in the amendment primarily offer services such as analytics, customer service, IT systems, contact centres and marketing.
Currently Service NSW outsources its after hours telephone service to Datacom Australia, an arrangement that has been in place since 2013.
A spokesperson for Service NSW said accusations that they were working towards privatising their service were "false and misleading".
Service NSW explained the change in regulation and listing of the seven companies was to create a "panel of outsourcers" as a requirement of a tender process.
Mr Barr believes the amendment put through by his elected counterpart, Minister for Finance, Services and Property Victor Dominello, doesn't recognise the value of data.
"The problem with outsourcing customer service is that you lose ownership of that valuable data," he said.
"It's valuable for companies that may want to sell that information on or specifically target a market, but it's also really valuable information for a government to get a snapshot of their community."
Mr Barr said data should be treated as a commodity, and governments should understand the value of information before it is too late.
Service NSW insisted it takes the privacy and management of personal information seriously, and its external providers are contractually obliged to stick to privacy and information security standards.
Mr Barr said he is trying to raise awareness of the amendment, which was not accompanied by a public announcement at the time it was passed. He has visited eight Service NSW centres in the northern part of the state, and now travelling to nine centres in the south to protest the decision.

Me and my ex dated for a little bit over 2 years. We met in college and we were each other's first. About 4 weeks ago she broke up with me and told me she just hasn't been feeling the same lately and doesn't see herself with me in the future. She also said she still wanted me in her life because I was her best friend and she didn't want to lose me. About 2 weeks after we broke up she texted me saying she had things to give me so we met up and I asked her again if she's sure she doesn't want to be with me and she said she was sticking to her decision. She seemed relaxed and moved on already and I wasn't. I got sad and told her I can't be friends with her just yet because it just doesn't feel normal. She told me she's going to give me my space and not bother me anymore but I still miss her a lot and want her in my life like we used to be. I don't cry anymore thinking about it, I get that we're not together but I'm just not used to not having her around anymore. I've been tempted to contact her but I know that probably won't change anything and will just make me feel worse. Any chance she'll ever want to be with me again?
I miss my ex. How can I get her back?

Thank you! I know it's all said and done but we were together for a good amount of time and we both loyal and respectful to one another and I literally think she's up there when it comes to a good girl and I know she feels the same ways because she even told me when we broke up. You think she'll ever regret or miss me one day and want to come back?

I doubt it, she's probably moving on. Just try your best and distract yourself from her, like focus on school, work, hobbies etc. That way you don't call her and look like an obsessive ex.10|10|0

Alex Wood is Senior Director, Policy and Markets for Sustainable Prosperity, a think tank dedicated to the promotion of a green economy in Canada. The views reflected in this piece are Alex's alone, and do not necessarily reflect the position of Sustainable Prosperity.
The Canadian ratio of talking about innovation to actually being innovative must be the highest in the world. We talk about it, we think about it, and occasionally we try to do something about it. But at the end of the day, we don't innovate.
Of course, we've tried hard to understand why that should be. Explanations ranging from the economic or financial (there are not enough venture capitalists in Canada!), to the cultural (our businesses are too conservative!) to the historical (we've always been a branch plant economy!) have been advanced. This goes some way to explaining one of the key paradoxes of Canadian policy and innovation: we actually have a very good policy regime in place, and yet we still don't innovate enough.
In many ways, though, the explanation that resonates the strongest in terms of its basic logic in this: we want for nothing. And if the policy relevant interpretation of "necessity is the mother of invention" is that scarcity breeds innovation, then Canada has some tough choices ahead.
When those tough choices are made, good things can happen. Consider the radio spectrum used by the telecoms industry. In theory, that spectrum is a free and common resource. But government essentially appropriated it, and auctioned it off to the highest bidder. And while we may not be happy with telecoms prices or services, the limits imposed on access to that spectrum have certainly generated a great deal of innovation – both technological and business – in that sector.
That example aside, innovation eludes us, especially in the beating heart of the Canadian economy: the resources sector. To explain that, we need to ask whether Canada suffers from some variant of what economists call the "resource curse"? We're too complex and "mature" an economy to fit the traditional definition (think Saudi Arabia). But the ills of a resource-curse economy do seem familiar: poor innovation and productivity, largely because of the guaranteed prosperity generated by resources. Incentives to innovation, both theoretical and common-sense, tend to disappear when you think you're doing well. And yet, as is becoming clear to us, innovation in every part of our economy is something we ignore at our peril.
For Canadian governments, the Hobson's Choice is the following: tell Canadians that to become more innovative (and to receive all the benefits attendant to innovation at the dawn of the 21st century), they should have less of the things that evidence will tell them is everywhere around in abundance. And because they're not going to believe that we have less, the only way for governments to make it clear that scarcity exists is by makings things more expensive. Powerful rivers and rich coalbeds? Too bad, you must pay more for electricity. Car lots full to bursting and the cheap gas to run those cars on? Tough luck, pay for congestion and more taxes on gas. What about water? It's everywhere! Well, sorry…time to start paying more than just a flat monthly rate for it.
So, we've tried almost everything to become more innovative. But what if the one thing that will make us so is the one thing that most governments won't consider: making things more expensive?
Aside from the spectrum auction, some other interesting models around scarcity and innovation are being tested in Canada: British Columbia and its carbon tax, and Ontario with its Green Energy Act, have made a calculated bet that making energy more expensive will make them more innovative, and ultimately more competitive. The results of the experiments they are running are things we should all play close attention to. They may point the way for the rest of Canada.

I was surprised when I looked at the photo to see that it looked more like a picture you might see that was taken from an airplane not one of the water.

Vinnì Quaranta - Fashion Designer of "Dalin"
1) Dalin has always been synonymous with care for detail and know-how. Two collections for two types of bride. Tell us about this difference. What is your target?
Dalin lines have always stood out for their high-class tailoring, perfect details, style research, and materials. The Dalin line has been conceptualised for a romantic and dreamer bride who loves large volumes, rich and luxurious dresses with precious embroideries. The Vinnì line has been designed for a more dynamic and contemporary bride and stands out for its simplicity that blends perfectly with the details enhanced by our fashion designer's flair.
2) Your garments are distributed around the world. What are your target markets? And which have been the most performing ones so far?
The markets where our collections are mostly distributed and which best suit our target are the Far East, Arab countries, Russia and the Mediterranean basin. We are also aiming at expanding our horizons. That's why, we are looking at what other markets can offer, especially the Northern American one. In any case, we are hoping for more and more targeted public interventions that can help Italy's bridal fashion expand beyond its national borders.
3) How is the market changing in Italy? And how are you changing based on this?
Today, to be competitive in Italy, we need to be ready to distribute to our loyal retailers already from September. Brides tend to choose their wedding dress earlier these days based on the trends dictated by the fashion houses that manufacture their products abroad. We wanted to continue to produce in Italy. That's why, to keep up with the times, we agreed to present our collections earlier too.
