Well it looks like congratulations are in order to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The couple has announced that they are expecting their second child!
During the mid-season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim revealed that she was expecting. Now we all know that Kim has been trying to get pregnant after having their adorable little girl, North West, so I'm glad that Kim is adding another baby to their family.
Kim revealed the good news in a teaser following the show:
"I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!"
I suspected a few weeks ago that Kim could be pregnant – she looked a bit full in the face and now we know it's true.
I know Kanye is a happy man and baby North is happy to be getting a little brother or sister we just hope that this time around Kim has an easier pregnancy than she did with North.
Congrate KimYe!!!

Can someone explain to me how this mention thing works and where I can get this service? Thanks a lot for the help BHW!

Mom and dad and I guess everyone else that might read this...
Hey everything is going great. The MTC is so spiritual. Today for P-day we started off right by going to the Temple and doing a session. It was so so awesome this time. I don't know why, I think it was because I needed something answered because I was having problems with my companion. So, when I was in the Celestial Room I was just praying to know what to do and asking God for advice and coming up with questions, then all of the sudden my mind kinda just went blank...I was kinda imagining Jesus Christ, then all the sudden I just hear talking in my head. I hear a voice that's kinda speaking to me and I know that it wasn't me so I just let the feeling continue and it was telling me of everything that I had to do, and what to do and kinda cheer up on myself. I felt like it was my own personal blessing from the Lord. It was so awesome. When it was done I started to continue praying actually by myself and then we left. But, I know some people will say 'no John, that wasn't God or Jesus talking to you, it was just you thinking by yourself, that you were pretending that it was Jesus' and I would have to tell them 'NO...I know that it was Heavenly Father speaking to me personally when I was in His house, that I can control my own thoughts, and that the Holy Ghost was giving me a direct line to speak to Him. It was because of my faith and actual desire to hear from Him that He did talk to me. It's not just made up or anything, that's ridiculous. I mean so many people can say that it isn't real, but, that is because they don't want it to be real. So, they state what they say which is okay for people to have their own opinions, but I know for myself that God can talk to us through the Holy Ghost, and He does as long as we are willing to listen and to think to ourselves of what was said or what was thought of which was pretty much the Holy Ghost.' Some people just gotta stop thinking that it's just them in life and that's what it's all about, just them. But anyhow I gotta get off that tangent. Sorry, it was just a coolio experience that happened to me. One of the many at the MTC...Classes are cool. Sometimes I fall asleep, but I'm getting better. I didn't fall asleep once it was one of my goals. We have been working on setting goals for yourself and investigators and such, it's pretty cool. I'm kinda learning how to be a better person. Mail time is probably the worst or best part of the day. A lot of the elders in my district are like ecstatic or depressed after mail time. It's pretty funny. I didn't really think that I would get mail and when I do I feel terrible that I did because some other people didn't get mail. But hey, that doesn't mean stop sending the mail tho', ya hear. I don't really see a lot of people that I know except Elder Cordon because he eats at the same time which is cool. The food is starting to lose its taste. The peanut butter gives ya the squirts and horrible gas, so I gave up on it. It's not worth it, trust me.
I'm sorry that I left such a biggy mess for you in the house...I really didn't mean to. We did have a lot of stuff to get done, and not a lot of time. I love you a lot. I have so much to say , but really not a lot of time.
I can't believe Fed (Roger Federer) lost in the quarters. That ruined his streak of so many semi's at the grand slamies, but o well. He had his reign of terror, it had to be over sometime. Nadal I think should win. I have had a change of heart about him since Indian Wells. I really loved that experience with you, it was so much fun. I wouldn't change that for the world, ya know. We had so much fun, and it was cool to spend time together.
I love you dad so much. Everything we have done over the last couple years has brought us together and I so grateful for that. I mean you just gotta stop yelling at tennis. Well tell Chase i wanted to include him.

This famous quote from Coco Channel is the quote that I think of on a daily basis.
This shoot was so much fun edgy and a tad dramatic. It was for a jewellery label in Brisbane I styled the lovely model in a black sequin shift to set off the gold chains and smokey eyes and teased hair to make the look complete. The relaxed poses really make the shoot. Brooke is my favourite model to work with she is so relaxed and easy to capture and she is just drop dead gorgeous and makes anything look fantastic! This dress Brooke is wearing was $2 from an Op Shop She is pretty fantastic isn't she.

i desperately need…
September 9, 2008
a mini- around the neck fire extinguisher and an extra large supply of aloe vera gel.
It never fails. Just when i think i have got this whole jewelry gig down i become my alter ego … Ty the damager. Usually when this happens it starts slowly and then i snowball causing physical harm to not only my jewelry but any appendage i have not managed to hide from the flame in question.
It's quite ridiculous actually. In one day, Friday, i managed to somehow burn the hell outta my arm with the mini rubber chicken i am casting into one fancy chicken army.(yes, more about this feat of artistic brilliance at another time.) If i actually took fabulous photos i would show you all proof that a cooked chicken was in the vecinity of my forearm. Don't laugh too hard but yes i will forever have a plucked chicken scar on my arm now. Guess I can cross that off my tattoo list.
Within minutes i became side tracked by the never-ending banter and chatter that invades my intensely needed quiet time at the jewelry studio, and somehow managed to put my sweet little pinky finger in the line of fire quite literally. You have no idea what pain is until you burn the padding of your pinky while trying to solder a tiny little bezel on an oh so uncooperative pendant. At this point i have used my supply of aloe vera rations for the day and am now forced to submerse my wound in an ice bath..wah wah. As i tend my wound i start to question what i was even thinking joining this hazardous career path. Didn't I remember the part about my personality that is accident prone.
With the pinky and forearm bandaged nicely i decide that the flames are way to hot for me on this day and head back to my bench to focus on something a bit less dangerous. It is 2:00 at this point and i have spent most of my day either cussing with a vengence, throwing my melted pendants and bezels and last as mentioned above nursing my wounds. Mainly my ego has been shot to hell and i know that sanding and polishing is probably the most healing and safe venture for now. Within i kid you not five minutes i have somehow managed to sand right through my thumb with my flex shaft and i am bleeding all over the gold ring I have worked for weeks to finish.
Yes, i called it quits at this point and headed right over to my new favoritest hair salon called Modish where i spoiled myself with a new cut and outrageously bright highlights. Nothing like a new do to end an all around dead end day!

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memries, gather round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the mornin hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

i totally sympathize with your jewelry efforts!
i love making jewellery and other design stuff, and i dont think i've made a single thing without injuring myself or the piece in the process.
i have been checking out the american jewelers institute online, and want to take their 4month course. i would really appreciate it if you could give me your opinions on the place- how thorough is the teaching; are all aspects of metalsmithing taught, or are some taught only in theory; is there more of repair work than actual crafting from raw materials; will the course equip one to become an individual practising designer-maker?
i'm from india, so there's no way i can check out the institute, and havent found too much real info online, so would be grateful for your help.

1 meter = 3 feet (3.280 if you want to be exact)
Since meters are what's used here, that's what I'm going to be using because no one told me how many feet we were down.
It's 6 am right now, on the 29th of January.
I set my alarm to wake up at five because somehow, I thought I'd need an hour and 15 minutes. Anyway, made sure everything was packed, brushed my teeth and have been checking Facebook for the past hour.
I'm so terribly excited, there will be photos galore I promise!
Day 1
|nothing between me and south america.
We left Cairns at around 7, arriving on the outer reef at about 10. We moved locations 3 times, I think, but we were just moving up or down. We were on the outer reef, meaning there was basically nothing between us and South America.
In fact, on the last dive we took we were diving the outer wall. The end of the end pretty much.
On the way out to the reef I took a bunch of photos, which were fine but then we got all the way out I went to take some and my cameras (the 7D) was being super weird. It wanted me to change the card & battery (which I did) but the top half of every photo I take is just black. I tried changing the lens and nothing happened so its definitely the shutter. Lord knows what I'm going to do.
|the last bit of australia we saw.
We did our first dive, which was pretty fucking scary. I mean, it's one thing to putter about in 4 meters of water in a pool but quite another to be in the open ocean. Jeeessssus.
|who wants to get in the water when that's the weather?
According to my Log Book (a book we were given where you right down lots of information about each dive. Stuff you saw, your buddy, the surface weather, visibility, length of time you were in the water, the pressure group you started in, the pressure group you ended in etc etc.) this is the stuff we saw on that first dive.
We were on Milln Reef, dive site Petaj. In Case you care.
- juvenile rock mover. Perry said this is pretty uncommon to see, so we're lucky.
- maori wrasse. it was about a meter long I think. Either way, it was giant. But it was pretty small for that species.
- white tip reef shark. So cute!
- angel fish. Apparently I didn't know what kind.
- puffer fish, again, an unknown kind apparently.
- sergeant major
- bi color parrot fish
- trigger fish. I should be more specific.
- giant clams.
It was so good!
We got out and ate lunch then pretty much got right back in and saw:
- giant trevallies
- snapper
- bi color & another kind that I'm blanking on right now parrot fish
- blue spotted ribbon ray
- green turtles
- true clown fish (As in, Nemo.)
- angel fish
- palette surgeonfish (Dory, from Nemo. In case you care. A lot of people seemed to)
- yellow damsels
- white tip reef shark
Got out again relaxed for a few hours, drank some tea and ate some cake (Lisa, the cook, made a lot of cake for between dives. Not too shabby really.) and then went back and dove again. Still with Perry leading us.
- giant moray eel
- tiger fish
- true clown fish
- parrot fish
- puffer fish
- lined butterfly fish
- three spot angel fish
- eyestripe surgeonfish
- white margin unicorn fish
- moorish idol (again with the Nemo reference, Scar was one of these)
- giant trivially
- deep bodied fusilier
- red bass
The latter three live under the boat, we didn't see any of those while on the reef itself.
Ate some dinner. It was some kind of coconut milk curry. Not to die for, but totally edible.
|worry not, dear reader, that's someone jumping in not some sort of mythical sea beast attacking the boat.
We watched the already certified divers jump in for the night dive, which looked terrifying.
Went to bed pretty much right away, I was dead tired.
Day 2
Woke up around 5, for no reason. We were in the water at 7. 30 for out last dive of the course. By that I mean, the last dive we needed to take to be certified Open Water divers.
- green turtles. Perry was feeding it some kind of algae so it was swimming with us for a little bit.
- bi colour parrot fish
- giant moray eel
- giant clams
- some kind of wrasse I've forgotten the name of and didn't write down.
- surgeonfish
- a grouper of some sort.
- spiny-tail puller
- humbug damsel
After breakfast we were sent off in out buddy pairs. I don't think I said this, but after our first dive Andreas and I were buddies, Matt and Chris were buddies and Ryan was either Perry's buddy or came with one of the other pairs. We were split like this based on how much air we used, so it'd be the most evenly matched.
Well, it was a bit of a disaster. I suppose not really since neither of us died.
We somehow got hopelessly lost. Which is awfully easy to do underwater.
I'm about 97% sure we literally went in the wrong direction. We went to the very limit of what we were qualified to go to (18 m) even though we were planning on not going below 16 m. It was pretty scary really.
But in the end we made it back without any serious mishap.
While swimming I saw something ridiculously huge swimming in front of us.
There's a well know 140 year old green turtle who lives on the reef we were diving, who's apparently about 2 1/2 meters long and I think maybe that was it. It was moving in the turtle-ish way, not a shark/dolphin way.
Anyway, we got back in one piece. So it's all ok.
other shit I saw on that dive
- green turtle (I think, so it counts)
- giant clams
- true clown fish
- sergeant major
- fowler's surgeonfish
- spiny-tail puller
- trigger fish
- some kind of starfish.
It scared me a bit, since I knew I didn't look at my computer enough if I let myself (and Andreas) get that deep. I know it's not the end of the world, but clhmlkfgvhc.
At 3 we went for another dive, Ryan came with us this time.
He (Ryan) was navigating since clearly it was a bad pan for me to and since he wanted to/swore up and down it was capable.
It was largely less of a disaster than the previous dive, but it wasn't exactly smooth sailing.
We got down to the bottom fine, Ryan found 150 on the compass and we double checked it, it was right so we went off to find the 'Micky Mouse', which was our destination. Basically it's three, uh, sea mounts? no, those are too big. They had a name for them but it's escaping me right now. Like a pinnacle. Bits of reef coming up from the sandy bottom. Anyway.
We got there fine, went around like we'd decided on the boat and then Ryan starts doubling back on himself and by the time we caught up with him I had no idea what direction we were facing. At this point Ryan went to the surface to check where the boat was, since he wasn't 100% sure. Andreas and I just stayed at about 5 meters since we figured he could handle it.
We could see another reef over to our right, so when he came back down we went there since we knew that there was another reef within sight. That was fine, saw some nice things and then instead of going back the way we'd come or going to another landmark Ryan just sets 300 from where we were and sets off into the blue.
Since he'd just been to the surface with decided to just follow him. We also knew we weren't too far away since we hadn't left the shallow shelf.
Off we went for a while, I then went to the surface since I wasn't entirely sure Ryan had any idea where we were going. He was pretty far off, we were about 50 meters away from the boat and quite far in front of it. I get back down and we keep doing, eventually hitting a rope. Which I knew was the bow rope. Andreas figured out it wasn't the side rope super fast, since it was just one rope, not two like on the sides. I'm not really sure what Ryan thought it was to be honest.
Then, I realized Ryan had gotten a nose bleed. Literally a halo of blood. That was it, we were going up with there, fuck finding the back of the boat. When we got to the top Andreas and I still had a bit of air but Ryan only had 60 bar anyway, so we weren't really up early. Swam to the back and it was all ok in the end.
stuff I saw:
- green turtle
- potato cod/grouper
- giant clam
- trigger fish
- squirrel fish
- pennant banner fish
- orange-spine unicornfish
- agile chromis
- highfin parrotfish
got out and ate some chocolate cake/drank some tea.
Around 5 the five of us (who did the Open Water course) sat down with Perry since we all wanted to continue and do out Adventure course too.
He pretty much explained the deal and we filled out all the needed paperwork.
We'll be certified to dive up to 30m and dive at night. Pretty amazing! We'll be doing out first night dive tonight and our deep, 30 m dive tomorrow morning.
We were fed dinner (pasta with a tomato sauce) but I was mostly too nervous to eat.
at 7 they put the lights on outside and we went and watched the sharks start to gather. So. Many. Sharks. They we all Grey Reef Tips and none of them were longer than about 1.5 meters, but still. We could see about 10 of them.
Plus the giant trevallies and red bass some of which were about half a meter long. Just big-ass fish everywhere.
|looking at the sharks.
|the water I was about to jump into.
Perry gave us a briefing of how everything was going to work when we went down there, the plan was to go down super slowly, swim about and then come up super slowly, having an extra long rest stop to look at the sharks.
We got suited up in our ever lovely stinger suits and did our buddy checks and everything.
I was trying to think of a time in my life I'd been as nervous and failed to think of one.
So then we got in. I was the second one in, after Perry so I had plenty of shark-watching time. As soon as I'd inflated my BCD and put my snorkel in I could see sharks all around. You couldn't shine the torch anywhere and not have one swim into view. It was surreal. There were red bass running into me too.
The Dutch lady who was my roomate, who's name I think was Ow (which was short for something hard to say and dutch) took a bunch of photos which she said she's email me. So when I get them I'll post them, believe me, they're hilarious.
We got down to the bottom using the rope and off we swam. Once we were on the reef it wasn't scary all since everyone had a torch so there was a ton of light being reflected back from everything.
We saw
- spotted lion fish
- coral crab
- green turtles (they were sleeping! so adorable.)
- giant trevally
- red bass
- white tip reef sharks
- grey reef sharks
- fowler's surgeon fish
- a giant crab no one seemed to know the name of nor was it in any book.
plus some other little fish, but that's al I wrote down in my log book.
after about 20 minutes we started going up again, we came up right behind the boat so while we were at our rest stop we could see silhouetted sharks against the light.
Once we were on the surface is actually when the exciting things happened to me.
Everyone but me, Ryan & Perry had gotten out already and I was moving towards the boat with was probably about 2-3 meters away when I saw a fish swim right past me. I will forever forget that fishes name, it's like a Needle fish or a Ribbon something. Basically it's about half a meter long, super thin and most importantly for this story, sharks love nothing more than to chase them.
about .05 of a second later the first shark ran into me, it hit me in the middle of my shins. There's actually a cut on one of them from the force. Luckily my knees just bend, so I was Ok. As soon as I've put my feet back down and looked in the water another one runs into me, about an inch towards my shoulder from my heart. I spin all the way around so I'm back facing the boat at which point Warren (our South African skipper) starts yelling "get out, get fucking out!"
I was feeling ok, a little nervous but pretty calm as I got out and got up the stairs but when I was trying to undo all the straps on my BCD to take it off I was really having a hard time since I'd started shaking like a feather. I still wasn't that afraid though, I actually didn't get nervous until Taylor & Bao told me what they'd seen from the top desk.
One of the sharks had just suddenly got out into deep water as fast as it could, for no apparently reason, did a big circle and came back towards us. This one missed me by less than a foot they said, at the same time as the other two hit me. So I'm so lucky I didn't have that kind of force coming from both sides since they I really might have been in trouble.
It was nuts.
But I survived and really, I think it's pretty amazing.
|my shark bark.
I ate some more cake & drank more tea. Pretty much my days looks like this.
sleep, dive, eat, dive, eat cake/drink tea, dive, read, eat, sleep.
Day 3
We had to wake up at 5.30 since our deep dive started at 6.20.
So up I was, dead tired.
We got a briefing about deep diving and narcosis or 'being narced'
From what I understand (aka nothing) it's when the pressure & nitrogen makes you high pretty much. It effects everyone differently and people can have totally different responses dive to dive.
So we go down and his plan had been to free fall from 10 meters down to 30, but since the visibility was shit we fell from 18 instead. Apparently at about 15 meters we stopped to look at two lion fish, but I failed to notice anything. Oh well.
We got to 30 meters and it was insane. I felt like I was stoned out of my mind.
We were kneeing in a field of Garden Eels and I'm pretty sure they were all looking at me.
Then I closed my eyes (something Perry advised us to try, since it's awesome) and I suddenly didn't hear enough people breathing but instead of just opening my eyes to see I just tried to listen. And then I opened my eyes and looked up at our bubbles floating up for 14 stories. That was trippy shit right there.
Perry had us to this narcosis test, where he held up 5-10 fingers and we had to told up enough to make 15. ie, if he held up 5 we'd give him 10 or if he held up 7 we'd give him 8.
Well. He gave me 7 and I knew it was 7 and I knew how to count but I couldn't for the life of me remember what number we were trying to make.
One can only be at that depth for about 15 minutes so then we slowly made our way back up, which took us about 30 minutes.
Stuff I saw:
- bi color angelfish
- some kind of grouper
- squirrelfish
- pennant bannerfish
- spiny-tail puller
- fowler's surgeonfish
- another surgeonfish, I don't know which one though.
- racoon butterfly fish
- about 3 other typed of butterfly fish.
- spangled emperor
- red rock grouper, I think.
- emperor angel fish
Ate breakfast!
We couldn't go on the next dive, it was too soon since we'd gone so deep.
So everyone else in my group went for a snorkel and I read the fish identification book instead.
|is this the first photo of me in the post? a new record I do believe.
|I'd probably want to cause fatal injury if I was a Horrid anything too.
For the last dive before being adventure divers we had to pick a theme.
Andreas, Chris & I did Underwater Photography
Matt did Underwater Naturalist
Ryan did a sort of bastardized Navigation. Bastardized only so he could be with us, not off making 90 degree turns somewhere.
I rented a camera from the boat, which was fine but the time to figure out how a case/camera works is not underwater. Just a tip.
|my trusty gear.
|as you can see, the sergeant major decided to move just as I was taking the best photo of my career.
|does anyone know what the purple & yellow thing is? I couldn't find out anything about it.
|perry & andreas.
We all dove for about 40 minutes at which point we were back at this circle of reef that surrounds the blocks the boat's attached to. Then Ryan, Chris & Matt got to 60 bar so Perry took them up and Andreas and I chilled out and mostly watched a Clown Trigger Fish for another 10 minutes or so. It ended up being out longest dive, with a bottom time of 51 minutes. I thought that was a little odd since I figured all the using of my hands and trying to stay in one place to get a photo would use up so much air.
|no, it's not pretty. but it's me scuba diving on the great barrier reef. it had to be done.
|our bubbles!
There are some of the gems I took, I unfortunately didn't get a photo of the clown trigger, but it was still amazing to see.
Got back up, cleaned everything off one last time and ate some more.
We then started out 3 hour trip back to Cairns.
Andreas and I looked through the photos we'd taken, as you saw, some of them are alright but I do have more respect for underwater photographers. Granted they're probably using a SLR they've used before… but still. It's hard when you're moving, the fish is moving and sometimes it's hard to see anyway.
I hung out on the top desk for a little bit, enjoying the end of being on the water.
|and we see australia again!
Drank my final cup of tea & ate my final piece of cake and we were there!
Stopped by Pro Dive to pay for the Adventure Course and Reef Tax then went back to Traveler's Oasis. I'm in room 19, which I like more than I liked room 1.
I have two Japanese roomates who I think are traveling together. Neither of them has actually spoken to me. In fact they probably think I'm crazy since we've only seen each other 3 times
first I still had salty I-haven't-showered-in-three-days hair and was sporting me every wonderful Barak Obama sarong, second I had to ask to borrow one of their keys since I locked mine in the room and third I accidentally turned on our room light at 2.30 am when I came home. Oh well, I'm leaving tomorrow they can think whatever they want.
Anyway, after the best shower ever I used the internet for a bit until around 7.
I was supposed to meet everyone who's been on the boat for dinner at the Rattle n Hum for dinner at 7.30 or 8. I left here about 20 past 7, got a little lost typically enough but eventually found my way there. It was really nice! The food was delicious actually, a thousand times better than I thought it'd be. I had a veggie type pasta with mushrooms, feta, olives and bell peppers. for the first little while I was sitting next to this guy, Linus until he left pretty early to go to bed. As it turns out, I found out later, he's the guy who created/wrote the Linux Kernal, which according to wikipedia, is what made it possible to do something to do with commercial business. He continues to work on it.
When he's not scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
Anyway, he left and then Andreas arrived and took his seat.
It was really nice to get to talk to everyone in a social setting, you know how I adore a social setting.
Around 12 they were starting to shut down so Lior, Perry (Lior's girlfriend, second Perry), Bao, Ryan, Chris, Taylor, Hannah, Adreas, Perry (the scuba one), Karen and myself decided to go to the Woolshead to do some dancing/heavy drinking. (Well, not heavy drinking on my part. In fact, no drinking on my part.)
So we hung out there until about 2. I somehow managed to not take a single photo the whole time we were there, which is a crying shame really. On the way over Perry decided someone needed to play the giant didgeridoo that was hanging in front of some shop and I did document the tower that was build to make his dream come true
|attempt one did not make dreams come true.
|but attempt two
|was a success.
This morning I discovered that there's a cyclone, Yasi, headed right for Cairns, in theory hitting tomorrow night. Pretty much that means I needed to get out fast.
Luckily I was already set to Skype with my family and mum found me a ticket to Brisbane for tomorrow morning. I didn't much want to go back, but if I stay I could be stuck for weeks. It's a category four, so it's big.
I just registered for camp! (not back to school camp, nbtsc.org)
I'm going to both Vermont Sessions, I'm also graduating this year.
It's nuts to think about not going back, even though I sill have months and months until camp 2011.
Basically right now I'm going to get all my photos updated and but this up then go find some food.
One of my roomate's phone just started ringing and I think it's a Japanese version of Strawberry Fields Forever. It sucks.

We are intensely habitual creatures, and many of our habits don't serve us. Most of us have pain because we've fallen into bad patterns: physical, emotional, and spiritual ones. To heal pain, we need to break those patterns, which can be surprisingly challenging. Don't believe me? Try this: clasp your hands. Look at which thumb and forefinger are on top. Now, interlace your fingers again with the other thumb and forefinger on top. That weird, awkward, uncomfortable feeling? It's called change. And it's hard. More
Statistics measuring the effects of wartime service on our troops reveal high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, homicide, suicide, divorce, depression, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Yet, unless we're closely related to someone in the military, many of us still feel insulated from the impact of these wars, detached from the sacrifices of those fighting them, and removed from the problems they experience once they return to civilian life.

My name is Jennifer Thompson. In 1984, I was a college student, 22 years old, and was brutally raped at knifepoint in my apartment. During the attack, I made a very concerted effort to pay attention to the facial features and anything I could remember to bring to the police department later on, hoping that I would survive. A few hours later, as I was sitting in the police department, it became very clear that I had gotten a very good look at the man who had raped me. And I hated this man with a vengeance and a blind hate that I can't even articulate. More
1. Know exactly how you feel about what happened and be able to articulate what about the situation is not okay. Then, tell a trusted couple of people about your experience. 2.

How do we forgive those who have hurt us? How is it possible to reconcile our differences with individuals who have done us harm or hurt our families or those responsible for committing deliberate acts of violence?

Perhaps you've had a similar experience to mine: you stumbled upon yoga, got hooked, and it changed your life for the better—so much that you decided you'd become a yoga teacher.

And thus, shining inwardly as you imagined all the students whose lives you would transform through your teaching, you gleefully signed up for teacher training. More
Thanks to Dr. Dan Siegel, a psychiatrist whose work combines therapy with intimate knowledge of the brain, I took a completely different approach to how I spend my time every day. The goal for Siegel is a healthy brain that sustains a person's well-being. As he sees it, the brain needs proper nutrition every day. I had never heard it put this way, and by heeding his advice, I found that I could activate parts of my brain that could only thrive if they were awakened. More

There was a riot only a few blocks from where I live this afternoon. A neo-nazi group was marching to the capital building downtown and they were blocked by protesters, who were eventually forcibly moved by the police using tear gas and mace.
The neo-nazis were protesting illegal immigration, as many of you may know I am from Arizona and the much maligned SB1070 law has caused much anger and hatred on both sides of the aisle and while I, under any other circumstance, would protest any actions of a neo-nazi group...well, needless to say, the broken clock I was speaking of in the title is this particular group. While that is true, I don't necessarily think that having neo-nazis speaking up in tune with the Tea Party is going to make the Tea Party's song more harmonious. In fact, it only gives the liberal party more things to attack the Tea Party with.
How are they supposed to defend themselves when liberals will lump them all together?
That being said, I would like to say that I actually think that Democrats are far more racist than the Tea Party. That is, of course, merely the opinion that I formed based on history and current political moves by both groups.
Maybe later I'll write a post about why I came to that conclusion.

If you are not reading Dave Zeltserman you are not reading the right books. This year brought us Zeltserman's The Boy Who Killed Demons and it was quite a great read.
I have always loved Dave Zeltserman's novels, including his crime novels, horror infused novels, and short stories. His latest offering, The Boy Who Killed Demons further cements his status as an author who continuously puts out books that are better than the books that precede them. I have said on many occasions and stand by my contention that Zeltserman could rewrite the phonebook and it would come out exciting and enjoyable read. Yes, he is that talented.
This offering from Zeltserman centers on 13-year-old Henry Dudlow and his ability (or curse) of seeing demons in the world around him. Through his meticulous research using a 17th century text, he discovers that demons are tied to a series of crimes against children that are taking place. In a race against the clock, Dudlow must fight against a demon within his town without letting on that he knows he is a demon and at the same time pacify his parents so he is able to continue his quest to stop the terrifying outcome that awaits mankind if the demons are able to complete their plans.
While the book has a plot that centers on a 13-year-old, the plot is tight and due to some rough language (in my opinion) a book geared for adults to sink their teeth into. I zipped through the book in two days and the only reason it wasn't one day is because I had to go to work.
Zeltserman is one of the clearest examples of how great authors don't seem to be getting the mainstream audience they deserve. The masses can keep their James Patterson' novels, I will take Zeltserman and his lean writing style. If there is justice in the world of publishing and reading, Zeltserman's big break is right around the corner and he will attract all the readers his books rightfully deserve. This book would make a great summer blockbuster movie for adults, teens and tweens. Here's hoping it happens for him.

- 6 years ago
- Wedding: September 2012
I want to preface with the fact that our wedding day was special and had wonderful moments, but the overall feel of the day was disapointment. 🙁 is this normal after a over 2 year build up to the big day? i mean i expected there to be some issues that day but not as many as there were.
First, my Mother-In-Law showed up drunk to the wedding, that should have been my first sign.
Then, my hairdresser used the pins incorrectly to hold my hair up so I ended up- having to use a hair clip half way into the reception.
Our flower girl had a mini breakdown right before the ceremony then was not minded during the cermony and almost nocked down our unity sand, non-working microphone (yes the dj proivided a microphone but the range was too far to work) and arch.
One of my Bridesmaid or Best Man decided to take my MOH's dress as her own and would not switch dresses back until long after the ceremony and reception.
Our guests went into the reception space way too soon after the ceremony and my Bridesmaid or Best Man bouquets that were pulling double duty as centerpieces didnt make it in before the guests did. i'm still not quite sure what happened to the "cocktail hour."
Two, yes two, of my Bridesmaid or Best Man changed out of their dresses and into "lounging clothes" immeadiately following the portraits and were in skimpy shorts and t-shirts for the entire reception.
Then there was the innapropriate comment from my drunk uncle-in-law following the ceremony that he "didn't know i had such nice breasts" to which my Darling Husband almost lost it. Most of our guests left early, leading me to feel that they weren't having a good time.
What really peeved me was our venue's service. We were told by our venue that we would be the only event that day yet there was a 2nd event in a side room and a 2nd wedding following ours. The venue"s owner even trapsed some potentential new customers through our reception explaining what an event there looked like, after we had specifically told him not to do this. (3 of my 4 visits to the venue were conducted by him this way and i felt very uncomfortable as a visitor being brought into someone elses reception and felt it was very unprofessional)
I'm trying to stay positive, and focus on the good moments of the day, like how I felt right before I walked down the isle, having read the letter my Darling Husband wrote to me and had delivered right before the ceremony started, how i felt seeinjg him for the first time that day, and how wonderful it felt to finally be married to my best friend. The food was decent even if I didn't eat much of it, but I did get to eat! I had some wonderful conversations with my guests that i don't get to see very often. We had won a photo booth for the wedding and it was a huge hit with the props I had made, and we have some priceless photos from the photo booth.
Thanks for reading my venting, if only I could go back in time, but I can't so i guess i will keep trying to focus more on the good things of the day and be happy we are now finaly starting our married life.

Hello, gentlemen
I have another questions partially in connection with Taiwan in WW2.
I've found 2 units
第三五魚雷調整班, which my internet translator translated as 34th [Okayama, north of Tainan] and 35th Naval Torpedo Repair Unit [Shinchiku]. Similar unit [37th NTRU] is in my Okinawa Naval OOB. Then I've found next one - 46th NTRU in Base of Pusan.
My questions are:
1st - did my internet translator did it correctly - is it really Naval Torpedo Repair Unit?
2nd - have You any idea if there were other units like that and where were they stationed?
Naval Torpedo Repair Unit?
Discussions on all aspects of the Japanese Empire, from the capture of Taiwan until the end of the Second World War.

Re: Naval Torpedo Repair Unit?
Repair is not correct translation. It should be translated adjustment. Before using torpedo, careful and complicated adjustment was necessary. It was beyond the capability of airfield ground crews and special unit called 魚雷調整班 was formed. It adjusted torpedo and attached it to airplane. 魚雷調整班 existed at many naval air bases in Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia etc.

Ridiculous (in a good way)
Ridiculous (in a good way)
And now for a different sort of data visualization, this one wearing the clothing of art. The picture of a lovely autumnal pool scene in Japan is the work of Tatsuo Horiuchi, using Microsoft Excel. Yes, you read that right. Excel. Why Excel? Apparently, when Mr. Horiuchi retired thirteen years ago he decided to learn one more skill. Adobe Photoshop or other such image manipulation software being too expensive, he bought a computer and started playing around with the autoshapes feature in the bundled Excel. I don't think it will surprise anyone that he won the Microsoft Excel AutoShape Challenge, his other competitors not exactly appreciating the full range of the digital palette. Since then, well, he's been using Excel to excellent effect (like I would not go there!).
In a slightly different vein, Dr. Ben Shneiderman, founding director of the HCIL (Human Computer Interaction Laboratory) as well as recent recipient of the Distinguished Professor Award here at Maryland, this summer has been generating data visualizations into what are known as treemaps. He is fascinated by the visual patterns the data generate, especially depending on the formatting of the output. A display of some of his art presently is on display in the Computer Science Instructional Center, third floor. For those really interested he will be giving a tour next Monday @ 4pm, although I think he would be quite surprised (and delighted) if art historians showed up where normally tread fearless computer scientists.
Pleasant diversions perhaps, but as well fascinating reminders of how connected is our visual experience to the world of math. Fun stuff.

UD to Induct Five into Athletic Hall of Fame
Oct 11, 2007 | University of Dubuque Theological Seminary
On Saturday, October 27, the University of Dubuque will induct five individuals into the Athletic Hall of Fame - Tim Felderman (C'95), Roger Patton (C'57), David Sage (C'64), Edward T. Taber (C'25) (in memoriam), and June (Salow) Wooten (C'87) - as a part of the 2007 Homecoming Celebration. Awards will be presented during the Alumni/ae Dinner at the Grand River Center.
The University of Dubuque Alumni Association established the Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989 as a permanent place to honor those individuals who have promoted and served the University through its athletic programs. The Hall of Fame recognizes former student-athletes, coaches, and supporters who have contributed to the success of the University of Dubuque both on and off the athletic field. It further promotes the University intercollegiate athletic program and creates a focal point for alumni, family, friends, and current University students, faculty, and staff.
Tim Felderman (C'95)
A two-time All-IIAC selection, Felderman was also an All-Region selection in 1995. The holder of several season and career UD baseball records, Felderman earned nine varsity athletic letters at UD: four for baseball, three for cross country and two for basketball. While playing at the University and working on his physical education degree, he also played in the Northwoods League, a pseudo-minor league system that featured top collegiate players from across the nation.
A Dubuque resident, from 1995-1997 Felderman served as head cross country coach and assistant baseball coach at Clarke College. In 2000, Felderman began a three-year stint as an assistant baseball coach at the University of Dubuque. In addition, he has coached volleyball and basketball for the Dubuque Public Schools since his graduation from UD. Currently, he a wellness education teacher and head baseball coach at Dubuque Senior High School. He completed his master's degree in physical education from Loras College in 2002.
Roger Patton (C'57)
A two-sport athlete from 1953-1957, Roger Patton excelled in both wrestling and football. As a four-time letterwinning heavyweight, Patton posted a 17-0-1 record over his final two years of collegiate competition, including a memorable pin-fall victory over a competitor from Loras. In this match, UD folklore suggests that a bleacher clearing altercation ensued after Patton was bitten by his opponent while he was pinning him.
In 1957, Patton was an All-IIAC football selection and earned two additional athletic letters. While at UD, he also participated in Messengers choir, was a member of the Phi Omicron fraternity and earned a degree in philosophy.
Leaving the University of Dubuque did not spell the end of Patton's activity in athletics. In 1957 and 1958 he coached wrestling for the Hun Preparatory School in Princeton, New Jersey and he played three years of semi-professional football for the New Jersey Miners from 1958-1960. While a student at the Princeton Theological Seminary, Patton also assisted with the Princeton University wrestling team.
Patton served as a Presbyterian pastor for 42 years in five states and also organized committees that constructed low-income housing developments for the elderly in both Cedar Rapids, Iowa and New York City. His numerous public service activities have included serving as Vice President for the NAACP chapter in Jamaica, New York and recognition by the Iowa Commission on Alcohol Problems for his organizing efforts.
David Sage (C'64)
Prior to his graduation from the University of Dubuque in 1964 with a degree in history, Sage earned four letters in track, four in cross country and one in wrestling. As a cross country competitor, Sage finished third in the IIAC twice. He also claimed five top three finishes in distance events at IIAC track meets, including winning the two mile event in 1962. His running exploits earned him the Freshman Athlete of the Year award in 1961 and the Senior Athlete of the Year award in 1964.
Sage was a four-year member of the 13er fraternity and also worked with the Student Senate at UD. In 1971 he completed his master's degree in political science from the University of Northern Iowa, and he also did post-graduate work at the Institute of American History at Stanford University and at the Robert A. Taft Institute at the University of Iowa.
In 1964, Sage began his 38-year coaching and teaching career at Waverly-Shell Rock High School in Waverly, Iowa. Prior to his retirement from the school in 2002, Sage served as head boys track coach and head boys cross country coach for 34 years. He also was a wrestling assistant for 22 years.
Sage's track teams claimed 22 conference championships and two state championships in 1999 and 2001. His cross country teams claimed seven conference championships and the 1975 and 1980 state titles. Sage has been honored as the State Track Coach of the Year in 2001 and the State Cross Country Coach of the Year in 1980. Since leaving Waverly-Shell Rock, Sage has served as an assistant track coach at Wartburg College.
Edward T. Taber, C'25 (in memoriam)
A native of Rock Island, Illinois, Edward "Red" Taber came to the University of Dubuque after a stellar high school athletic career that would eventually place him in the Rock Island High School Hall of Fame.
A three-sport athlete in baseball, basketball, football, Taber found his greatest success as a pitcher for the baseball team while earning his degree in political science. In an era of few, if any, eligibility regulations, Taber then pitched for three years at Georgetown University while completing a Foreign Services degree.
Taking his talents to professional baseball, Taber attended spring training with the 1919 Chicago White Sox, the team that later that fall would become infamously known as the "Black Sox" for fixing the results of the World Series. Amidst several standout minor league seasons, Taber enjoyed several stints in the major leagues in 1925 and 1926, playing for legendary manager Connie Mack and the Philadelphia Phillies.
After retiring from professional baseball in 1930, Taber found success in private business endeavors, including the formation of Ed Taber and Sons, a manufacturing company in Lincoln, Nebraska. Prior to his passing at the age of 83 in 1983, Taber enjoyed 57 years of marriage to his wife Bridget. He is survived by two sons, Matt and Ed. Another son, Tim, died in 1994.
June (Salow) Wooten (C'87)
Wooten came to the University of Dubuque following an All-State and All-Tri-State high school basketball career. She would leave the university as the all-time leading scorer (1291 points, since surpassed) and in the top ten in career rebounding. A two-time All-Conference selection, Wooten was also twice named team MVP and Best Offensive Player.
Following graduation with a degree in physical education, Wooten married former UD men's basketball player Jesse Wooten. They have three children: Kyle (17), Abbie (15) and Brooke (12).
An Earlville, Iowa resident, Wooten works as a supervisor at Modernfold and is active in community and school programs including the Athletic and Music Booster Clubs at Maquoketa Valley Schools. She also coaches youth basketball and softball.

This summer I am teaching in a resource style classroom. As a part of this experiment we have talked about the things that we love and why it is important to explore what makes us happy (regardless of others opinions of it). One kiddo asked what is something I really like, and I heard myself say cooking. Which is true, but I haven't cooked a true meal in months. I have thrown together things with pre-made/cut ingredients, but it has been too long since I cooked everything from scratch.
I learned how to cook in Nepal, a place where pre-packaged meals were too expensive for a JV budget, and it quickly went from stressful, to fun. I had grand plans of meals I would cook when I got home, but ended up picking it up and then stopping many times over (even attempted a blog about a different Joy of Cooking recipe).
But now that I am no longer in school,
want need to be healthy, and have the ability, I think it is time to return to an old love of mine.
So last week on a nice summer night (read not aggressively hot), I rolled up my sleeves and cooked dinner for Ryan and myself. I knew I wanted something that wouldn't require the oven too much and would be fresh. So I updated a go-to in my weekly rotation: Burrito Bowls. It's a super simple recipe and the best part is, you can add whatever you want!
Mine always includes the same things:
- Red Onions
- Tomatoes
- A Veggie of some sort (this time leftover cabbage and red peppers)
- Morningstar Spicy Black Bean burger (usually 2)
- Guacamole (which I finally made from scratch again: avocado, red onion, tomato, dried red pepper, lemon juice, and salt, all mashed together)
- Plain Greek Yogurt
- Quinoa
Voila! It is a tasty, easy delicious dinner. Best part is, the only cooking necessary is the quinoa so it doesn't heat up a hot apartment…..no AC, no bueno.
I also went back to my second love, baking! I am much more comfortable exploring in the baking realm, and made a this delicious crumble. Top with some vanilla frozen yogurt, some b-day candles, and you've got a wonderful birthday dessert.
Plus getting to enjoy this all with this guy isn't too bad either.

The money that Georgina and I have invested in our individual retirement accounts is spread across half a dozen mutual funds with solid long-term records and a decided bent toward good value.
In the jargon of investments, "value" funds are those that invest in stocks that are considered cheap, in relation to how much money the company is earning. These stocks usually pay high dividends.
"Growth" funds, on the other hand, invest in stocks of companies whose earnings are growing rapidly. These stocks are usually considered expensive or at least fully valued, but investors expect their price to go even higher.
Both value and growth funds have been good investments over time, and Georgina and I have owned both. But for the past two years, value funds have delivered much better returns, and we have put the bulk of our money there.
Georgina and I have our IRAs with Fidelity Brokerage (1-800-544-3922). We can invest not only in Fidelity mutual funds - many of their load or commission funds are offered no load inbut also in individual stocks, plus hundreds of non-Fidelity funds, including about 315 that can be bought and sold without fees.
This is where our IRA money is:
-- Fidelity Value, which invests in companies thought to be undervalued based on assets, earnings, cash flow or growth potential.
-- Fidelity International Growth and Income, one of Fidelity's more conservative foreign funds. (Diversification also means going outside the United States for some of our investments). Bonds, mostly from Europe and Argentina, represent 1/3 of the fund.
-- Fidelity Equity Income II, which invests primarily in stocks that pay above-average dividends and also have the potential to go up in value, or what fund manager Brian Posner likes to call "undiscovered growth companies."
-- Gemini II Capital, a closed-end fund (I'll explain later what this means) that trades like a stock in the New York Stock Exchange.

Pretty sure you switch between the rooms, can't actually walk about.
Correct! You toggle between spaces with arrow keys - the primary interface is point-and-click. We wanted to evoke that old submarine sim style of game where youbhage a bunch of 'stations' you can be at and the rest of the space is a little superfluous.

Old Mutual Wealth appoints Iain Wright as chief risk officer
Old Mutual Wealth, one of the UK's largest wealth management businesses, announces the appointment of Iain Wright as chief risk officer.
Iain will be responsible for the governance and oversight of strategic, operational and financial risks to the Old Mutual Wealth businesses. His role was approved by the FCA on 5 July and he will report to Paul Feeney, CEO of Old Mutual Wealth.
Iain Wright joins Old Mutual Wealth from Sun Life Financial where he was senior vice president, enterprise and operational risk, having previously been chief risk officer at Prudential UK & Europe. He began his career as a chartered accountant with Deloitte, and later moved to the London Stock Exchange where he carried out a number of roles, including head of equity and debt markets.
When the Financial Services Authority was formed in 2000, Iain formed part of the leadership team, heading up the supervision of major insurance groups.
Kevin Lee-Crossett, who previously held the joint role of chief risk officer and chief legal officer, will move to chief legal officer, responsible for the legal functions of the expanded Old Mutual Wealth business.
Commenting on the appointment, Paul Feeney, CEO of Old Mutual Wealth, said:
"I am delighted to welcome Iain to Old Mutual Wealth as chief risk officer. His vast risk and
compliance experience across the sectors in which we operate will be invaluable as we take Old Mutual Wealth to the next stage in its development. His appointment further strengthens our executive management team."
Iain Wright said:
"I am pleased to be joining Old Mutual Wealth at an exciting time for the business and I am looking forward to playing my part in its future success."

Who do you make cards for?
17 comments:

I would never, ever throw out something someone has made for me..I think it's a shocking thing to do! But I'm lucky to have a family who all really appreciate handmade, and we all make stuff for each other. In fact for years I thought everyone did that..couldn't believe when I went onto UKS and folk were saying their family didn't appreciate their layouts!
I'll find that hat pattern link and send it to you Jacky. It's really easy. And thanks for the congrats too x

I don't create homemade cards often and when I do my style is so much simpler than yours Jacky - so I don't put near the time you do into it - BUT - I still pick and choose who gets them. And send them mostly to people who I know will appreciate them. I don't balk that they might end up in recycling, as long as I know the thought and time was actually appreciated for whatever amount of time the recipient enjoyed the card.

Ow I too would hate it if my cards were thrown away!!! and like you I don't give my cards to anyone.. and this card is awesome Jacki, love all that layering. You seem to like this :) and your choice of colours is lovely xx

I make nearly all my cards, but some of them are very simple. The more elaborate, 'special' ones go to the people who I know will appreciate them.

I also am choosy who I give my handmade cards to. I loved giving them to my 94-year old aunt. I didn't know this but after she died on Easter, her son went through her things and found a box filled with cards I had sent to her for birthdays and such. I miss her very much but am happy to learn she loved me enough to keep all the cards.

I normally make cards for close friends and family - I would never throw away a card that someone had made for me either.I sometimes struggle with men's and boys cards tho!

- Amy said...
I have a drawer which is filled with all of the handmade cards and ivitations I have recieved over the years - simply cannot throw those out! I do pick and choose who get the handmade cards from me though as plenty of people I know would not and do not understand or appreciate the handmade. I have started making simple 4x6 single sheet notecards which appeases my need to make something without going overboard time wise so I'm less fussed with what happens in the end - great way to make use of PS and all of the lovely brushes/stamps that are available and it suits my linear style.

- Maria Ontiveros said...
My philosophy is very similar to yours - at least for my "special" cards. When I make cards that are easier/more assembly line, I don't mind who they go out to so much.

I know what you mean Jackie..one year i made the people at work cards and was mortified to find them in the waste bin in the new year!!!..I wouldnt dream of throwing anything handmade away so yes I'm choosey who I give them to..my mum keeps them all as do my sister and niece..esp the ones I have made for her kids Connor and Chloe..and I sell some to friends and family and on Ebay...but to work collegues?..never again!! unless they ask for one..lol..
PS..fab card hun...xxx

I make all my cards so everyone gets one. I know most of them appreciate the work I put into them, but I don't expect them to keep them forever. However, one year I went to a friends' house at Christmas time and she had all my Christmas cards (12+ years then) arranged on her bookcases. I was quite honored.
- 19 May 2010 at 11:17
- Kathyk said...
I make all of my cards too so everyone gets a hand made card but there's hand made and "hand made" so I do much simpler ones for people I don't believe will appreciate them too much. I did send a shop bought one to an acquaintance one year and she rang me to see how she'd offended me, not to get hand made!!!
FAB card and colours - love the layers, as always Jacky and I would never throw a beautiful hand made card away either.

I keep all the cards, atcs etc Ihave received from crafters, so many now, running out of space lol, but they are a great inspiration for me when I need a boost. I am also particular especially at christmas who would get a handmade one lol. 90% of my cards are sold so I don't mind splashing out for someone special. Love your card Jacky, really sweet.

Hi Jacky I love your cards! I have not thrown away any hand made cards I have been sent. I do make some quick,simple cards for some people, special ones for special people and occasionaly bought ones for those I don't think would appreciate it. I am glad I am now into scrapbooking as I can keep some of my fave papers and embellishments in my LO's!
- 23 May 2010 at 22:25
- SarahLP said...
Hi Jacky,
I make all my cards and also hate the thought of them ending up in the bin.. but I try to make most of my cards pretty quick and simple. Only those who I know appreciate them get really special cards which I've taken ages over!
I agree with furrypig.. at least when scrapping you get to keep your creations!

Hi, Gary and all,
I recently installed GPO (group buy) and can not find the ambience plug-in. I read in the manual tto install the .exe file, but where is it? So far, not in any of the folders for GPO, or on disc one. Also, the package included 3 cd's, but should there be 4?
I'm getting my feet wet anyway with it, pretty darn cool.

You may remember me writing about the Quincy compressor I recently sold, and how it was a difficult item for which to find a buyer. During the four months it took to find the buyer, I had to do research on product specifications, lower the price, and make sure I was targeting all the key words.
When I finally did find the buyer it was not as easy of a sale as one might think. After the prospective buyer inspected the product, he explained that he needed a certain output and this particular item was a little shy of what he needed it for. After this statement, the first thought that crossed my mind was, "Damn. Back to the drawing board." But, I did not verbalize this fear. The buyer contemplated for several minutes. He finally said, "I could make this work, but it's going to require some work and parts." 10 minutes later, we had agreed on a fair price for the compressor.
The lesson to be learned is that silence is useful, and to not assume that a sale will not pan out. In spite of our assumptions or concerns regarding a sale, the expression "silence is golden" often does translate into a positive transaction.

It was more than a year ago the table-without-top hit the shop
But now there's progress. The top won't be wood, but vintage marble. Marked this wide piece…
Had it cut into three pieces (big one is the keeper of course).
But it's not deep enough.
Table base will need to be resized to fit the 'new' top. Disassembly, anyone?
Next, we cut and re-assemble. Until next time…

This is hilarious; if those dang Mexicans do it they're "anti-American" but if Americans do it then they should be defended.
"I do not claim that every incident in the history of empire can be explained in directly economic terms. Economic interests are filtered through a political process, policies are implemented by a complex state apparatus, and the whole system generates its own momentum."
Enough with the dirty, deadly and disgusting oil and coal. Let's get clean, let's go green. Enough is enough!!
This is America after all and I do not think that Americans need to suffer disrespect from a bunch of third world expatriates on our most celebratory national holiday.
I wonder if some kid will have to remove his American flag shirt on St. Patty's Day, for fear of offending the Irish students...

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Single dad Trenton Lewis isn't one for excuses. It's why his colleagues bought him a car when they found out just how hard he was working.
So every morning, he awoke before the sun and walked 11 miles to work at United Parcel Service. His 14-month-old daughter needs him, Lewis says, and he refused to let her down.
"I made it to work. I was never late," Lewis said. "Doing this for my daughter, that's all," Lewis says.
It's that grit and determination that inspired his coworkers to pitch in and buy Lewis a car.
"That's a young man that wants to work and will do whatever it takes to be successful," colleague Kenneth Bryant says.
The group raised $2000 and purchased Lewis a 2006 Saturn Ion.
"God always has something for you," Lewis says. "I'm never going to forget this, ever."

4) the universe and everything in it & the act of burning something to ashes (8 letters)
Each pair of definitions is for two words, where the second word is the first word with a letter deleted (example: brand & band). The length of the first word in each pair is provided, along with the position of the deleted letter to obtain the second word.
1) something absurd or ridiculous (5 letters) & (delete 4th letter) money paid for transportation
