Jeffry Vendetti '16 MBA: Certificate in business analytics a "perfect entrée" to grad school
Jeffry Vendetti has always known that the business world is where he wants to be, but he hasn't always been sure what his precise niche would look like until now. In August, Vendetti completed Bryant's Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics (GCBA)—one of the first students to participate in this new initiative—and he's now pursuing his MBA at Bryant. "I love analytics and that's definitely the area I want to specialize in," Vendetti says, "but I believe I'll be much more effective in my approach if I have in-depth knowledge of how business works, so I'm getting my MBA as well."
"The faculty brings a personal touch to the educational experience."
Vendetti was in his final year of undergraduate study at Dean College when he heard about Bryant's GCBA program through an on-campus presentation by Linda Barringer, Assistant Director of Graduate Admission for the College of Business. "I knew that I wanted to pursue my MBA," Vendetti says, "and the certificate program seemed like the perfect entrée to the graduate school environment." A little over eight months later, he has his certificate in hand and a host of new knowledge about data analytics methods and tools.
Now Vendetti is focused on completing the MBA program and applying his new skills in the workforce, possibly in the non-profit sector. He currently works part-time for the Spina Bifida Association and finds the job a perfect fit for his skills and interests: hands-on data analysis and membership in a small, cohesive unit, which he enjoys.
The personal, hands-on approach was a big factor in Vendetti's choice of Bryant as well. "I visited the school before enrolling and really liked the atmosphere. The faculty brings a personal touch to the educational experience, which I find very appealing. Studying analytics with Professor Olinsky and Professor Glass was a phenomenal experience—they make sure you know what to do and how to do it. All the professors at Bryant have been a great help in advancing my knowledge."

Come Round Soon - Sara Bareilles
Music comes into play when silence is deafening
I apologize for not updating my blog despite many eager readers, wanting to know what has become of me after I left Malaysia. I am sincerely sorry.
Well, I have been trying to adapt to this new life, more to finding a rhythm and trying to keep up with the pace of it. I love how there's increased opportunities for leisure, being all independent right now (not entirely true actually but i am certainly trying), breaking off my comfort zone, dipping my toe then submerge my entire body into the frozen lake (just a metaphor). And what's greatest is that my appetite has greatly increased ever since I set foot in the United States.
Well, everything here is big in the US, even my campus, it is big. I do have to speed walk about at least 10 - 15 minutes to reach the farthest building in my campus from my residence hall, which is the opposite end. Loads of non-deliberate exercise and you'll somehow grow fitter and gain some stamina because walking is inadvertent here. Hence, I have learnt the lesson of leaving at least half an hour to get ready to walk to class. Just in case there's a change of venue and you'll be so dead if you were to rush to class just to find a small notice pasted at the door notifying a change of venue.
It was a bad experience, for my first day of class. I thought class was at this building close to my residence hall so i took my own sweet time walking there. Then when i was smack in front of the entrance of Yokum, i recalled the email i read last night and there was a change of venue. I ransacked my bag through the things and checked my notebook once more. I felt myself turning pale as i stare at the new venue. It is almost 15 minutes walk from where i was. So i speed walked there due to time constraint and still had trouble looking for the classroom even in the building itself. That situation sucks a big time.
Listen - Beyonce Knowles
I am enrolled in 6 classes this semester. 15 credits in total. Still, i love critical reading class the most. Reason was because my lecturer, Bryan, reminds me a lot of Joe's class. The lecturer was bald as well, just like Joe. The way he conducts the class is also somewhat similar to Joe. Really relaxing. Plus, I love how there's always discussion and critical thinking involving when class in session. College Writing class, in the meanwhile, even though the syllabus is almost the same, but the lecturer, Marcia, is a very peculiar lady. Hence, her way of conducting the class is odd as well. Not quite my thing.
Psychological Statistics class is more to like Add Math in high school and Statistics in college. Very much the same. Still can cope with it so far. Hope things stays the same like that. Lecturer gives very clear explanation and examples as well though. Public Speaking lecturer gives me a hard time when she contradicts herself though. Saying that we can retain our accents because it is our roots, yet she commented on the way i'm pronouncing "say". And she said the right way to pronounce it is the American way since I'm in America now. the toot?
This first week is long. But so far, it has been good. Having I guess a funner class later, International Experience. If we were to pass the entrance test, we wouldn't have to take that class. But it is worth one credit, so I am going to take it anyways. Why? Because i am not a Japanese student. Somehow being Japanese, they have this thing against this class! Hahahaha... Many of them studied to make sure they pass the test to be exempted from this class. How adorable :)
When We Die - Bowling For Soup
I really love it when i get lucky and the door for the access to the performance grand is open. So far, I only got to play on it twice, but the experience was beyond describable. There's this feeling of satisfaction when my fingers run freely on it. The first time i did, I was overwhelmed with this particular feeling, which has got nothing to do with playing the piano, but the resonance of the sounds was in sync with my feelings and my eyes started to blur out and i cried. I was depressed that day. Hence, getting all emotional on the piano.
The rest of the upright pianos in John Myers Fine Arts Building were in terrible condition though.
The ones in the game rooms in residence halls Adirondack and Whiteface are just okay. Well, talking about pianos, i better get going and play myself some nice music before my next class.
Till then, folks.

In response to letter writer Kitty Deimel's comments about "where were the developers when these vacant houses were 'shoot up' housing for the neighborhood junkies" ("Vampire developers devour city farms," June 27), I'd ask her: Where were the neighbors when the junkies started taking over the neighborhood?
It's easy to blame city government and uncaring (except when it comes to money) developers for not cleaning up our neighborhoods and our city but where were we when the dealers moved onto our corners? Or when the windows of the empty houses were broken? Or the sides of buildings vandalized with graffiti?
It's not Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's job to pick up the trash we throw down. It's our job as residents to not throw the trash down in the first place and our job to pick it up when someone else throws it down. Shifting blame for the state of our neighborhoods lies solely on the residents that have allowed the decline.

I know that the range of x is greater than 1 but less than 0 but can't figure out how to prove it mathematically.
Follow Math Help Forum on Facebook and Google+
are you sure that it is not less equal two? I guess it should be a $\displaystyle \leq$ instead of a $\displaystyle <$
I guess you should use the triangle inequality for the right path
transform into an equivlent double inequality and solve
$\displaystyle -2\ <\ 1 + \frac{1}{x} \ < 2$
$\displaystyle - \frac{1}{3} \ > \ x \ > 1$

Definitions of Bullying
Emotional bullying includes:
Physical bullying:
Threatening/Psychological bullying:
Verbal bullying:
Property Abuse:
Cyber bullying:
Methods of cyber bullying include:
The Bystander
Bullying is a form of abuse that can seriously affect the health, wellbeing and educational outcomes of children. This includes those being bullied, those bullying others, families and the whole school community. The impact of bullying can be tracked to adulthood for many individuals.
Bullying is now more pervasive with new technologies such as text messaging, email and the internet. These covert psychological methods also allow the person bullying to be even further removed from the person they are bullying and the direct consequences of their actions.
National Safe Schools Framework
The National Safe Schools Framework (NSSF) is a federal government initiative designed to assist schools monitor their current strategies in the areas of bullying, harassment, violence, child abuse and neglect.
The aims of the NSSF are to assist all school communities in building safe and supportive schools where bullying, harassment and violence are minimised, and where students receive support on issues related to child abuse and neglect.
The vision statement of the NSSF is that 'all Australian schools are safe and supportive environments'. This vision is supported by eleven guiding principles and six key elements of good practice. These key elements apply to bullying and the implementation of successful practices in schools.
Cyber Bullying:
Cyber bullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others. Bullies deliberately set out to intimidate, exclude, threaten and/or hurt others repeatedly. Bullying is a clear form of harassment. People who use the internet, email, intranets, phones or similar technologies to bully others are cyber bullies and are breaking the law.
The six key elements of good practice are:
School values, ethos, culture, structure and student welfare
Establishment of agreed policies, programmes and procedures
Provision of education and training to school staff, students and parents
Managing incidents of abuse and victimisation
Providing support for students
Working closely with parents
Thornlie Christian College is required to report annually on its policies, programs and procedures in line with the six key elements listed above.
Duty of Care
All College staff owe a duty of care to their students. This duty arises from the nature of the relationship that exists whenever and wherever the student is in their care. This duty does not require the prevention of all injuries – the standard of care required is that reasonable care is taken to prevent reasonably foreseeable injuries.
This notion of reasonable care extends to ensuring that the College provides a safe, non-violent environment for all students by addressing bullying.
The ministry of an effective Christian school is dependent on the existence of positive relationships among, and between members of the school community at all levels. The importance of unity cannot be overstated as we have a responsibility before our students to model Christian behaviour in every area, particularly our relationships. In fact, we are commanded to live in relationship; first to love God and then to love one another. Our relationships with one another are a reflection of our corporate spirituality. When issues arise which jeopardize our unity, such as bullying, we should endeavour to resolve such issues in ways that maintain relationship and bring glory to God.
The College's bullying policy is a "Whole-of-College approach" that seeks to create an environment in which students feel safe and free from hurt and intimidation; where through teaching and practice, positive relationships are reinforced; and shared strategies are used to resolve conflict when it arises.
The College makes a commitment to all families that all issues of Bullying that are brought to our attention, will be investigated.
In recognition of the fact that most bullying occurs in the Primary and Middle School years, a module on all aspects of Bullying is taught as a part of the Health Education curriculum in both areas of the College.
It is important that all members of the community understand the nature of bullying and seek to deal with both bullies and victims to bring about genuine reconciliation. To this end staff, parents and students will be provided with training and information aimed at raising the community's awareness of bullying and outlining the strategies employed by the College in addressing instances of bullying when they occur.
Mentor groups and Form groups in the Secondary School, Class groups in the Primary School and the Pastoral Care Team provide a support network for the effective implementation of the policy. Mentor groups serve as a forum in which issues relating to bullying and other pastoral care concerns can be openly and safely discussed. The purpose of these groups is to empower the student community to take an active role in establishing and maintaining a positive relational community. The Pastoral Care Team consists of the following 'layers of relationship:'
Layer 1: Form and Class Teachers
Layer 2: Any other Teacher available. (Duty Teacher etc.)
Layer 3: College Chaplain and College Psychologist
Layer 4: Assistant Principals, Deputy Principal and Principal
Students who have bullying–related issues are encouraged to approach any staff member with in any layer with whom they have a trust-relationship.
Response strategy for Bullying
In the first instance when a report of bullying is received the person who has been trusted with the information should seek the victim's permission to pursue the matter and involve the Form Teacher, Assistant Principal or Chaplain. Parents will be informed of the issue when it is deemed necessary to do so.
The student being bullied should be offered reassurance and protection from ANY further harassment or bullying.
The objective of intervention is to stop the bullying immediately and work with both parties
towards achieving a genuine reconciliation.
The incident will be referred to the Assistant Principal or Deputy Principal who will interview both
parties to gain a full picture of what has been happening.
Programmes such as "Shared Concerns' and "Restorative Practices" may be utilised depending on
the particular circumstances of the issue under investigation.
The bully may be required to work through a re-training module with their parents in an effort to
cause them to reflect on and modify their attitudes and behaviour.
The bully may be put on Step 4 of the Behaviour Management Policy and advised that any further
harassment of any kind toward the victim may result in expulsion from the College.
Serious physical bullying may result in the matter being referred to the police.
Ultimately the College will not tolerate any further escalation or continuation of a bullying incident that has been reported and followed up. Students who fail to support the College in its efforts may forfeit their enrolment at the College.
Response strategy for Cyber Bullying
Aims of Cyber bullying intervention:
To reinforce within the school community what cyber bullying is and the fact that it is
Everyone within the school community to be alert to signs and evidence of cyber bullying and
to have a responsibility to report it to staff whether as observer or victim.
To ensure that all reported incidents of cyber bullying are investigated appropriately and that
support is given to both victims and perpetrators.
To seek parental and peer-group support and co-operation at all times.
Parents, teachers, students and the community will be aware of the school's position on cyber
bullying. Teachers will be regularly reminded of their duty of care regarding protection of
students from all forms of bullying.
The school will adopt a four-phase approach to cyber bullying.
Primary Prevention:
Professional development for staff relating to all forms of bullying including cyber bullying,
harassment and proven counter measures.
Educate the school community about the seriousness of cyber bullying, its impact on those
being bullied and how this behaviour is unacceptable
Community awareness and input relating to bullying (including cyber-bullying), its
characteristics and the school's programs and response.
Provide programs that promote resilience, life and social skills, assertiveness, conflict resolution
and problem solving.
An anonymous reporting site will be advertised to students, staff and parents where cases of
cyber-bullying can be reported without fear of victimisation or identification.
Each classroom teacher to clarify with students at the start of each year the school policy on
bullying, including cyber-bullying.
All students to be provided with individual and confidential computer and network log- ins and
passwords. Processes to be put in place to ensure tracking of student activity on the school's
computer equipment and network. Firewalls to be installed to eliminate outside traffic into the
school's network and intranet.
The use of Zimbra closed intranet technology to allow for the monitoring of all student internet
activity within the College.
The use of mobile phones by students will be limited with consequences to be implemented for
any students who use mobile phones inappropriately.
The curriculum to include anti-bulling messages and strategies eg: 'The Friendly Schools' and
'No Blame Approach to Bullying' programs.
A vigilant and accountable yard duty roster for teachers will be put in place.
Early Intervention:
Encourage children and staff to report bullying incidents involving themselves or others.
Staff on a regular basis reminding students and staff to report incidents of bullying.
Regular monitoring of student traffic on school's computer networks to identify potential
Parents encouraged to contact Collegel if they become aware of a problem.
Public recognition and reward for positive behaviour and resolution of problems.
Once identified each bully, victim and witnesses will be spoken with, and all incidents or
allegations of bullying will be fully investigated and documented.
Parents to be contacted.
Students and staff identified by others as bullies will be informed of allegations.
Both bullies and victims will be offered counselling and support.
Removal of cyber-bullies from access to the school's network and computers for a
period of time.
If student bullying persists parents will be contacted and consequences implemented
consistent with the College's Bullying & Behaviour Management Policies.
Post Violation:
Consequences for students will be individually based and may involve:-
exclusion from class.
exclusion from yard.
withdrawal of privileges.
ongoing counselling from appropriate agency for both victim and bully.
Reinforcement of positive behaviours.
Support Structures.
Ongoing monitoring of identified bullies.
Rewards for positive behaviour.
Definitions of Bullying
"Bullying is a behaviour which can be defined as the repeated attack, physical, psychological, social or verbal, which is formally or situationally defined, on those who are powerless to resist, with the intention of causing distress for their own gain or gratification."
Besag (1989)
Bullying is:
Repeated and unjustifiable behaviour
Intended to cause fear, distress and/or harm
Physical, verbal, psychological, relational
By a more powerful individual or group
Against a less powerful individual unable to effectively resist
Child Health Promotion Research Centre – ECU (2005)
Bullying takes many forms, but can be best categorised under the following headings:
Emotional bullying includes:
being excluded from group conversations and activities
making up or spreading rumours to facilitate dislike for someone
being ignored repeatedly
purposeful misleading or being lied to
making stories up to get others into trouble
Physical bullying:
hitting, kicking, pinching, pushing, bumping, shoving, scratching, slapping, biting, punching or
tripping someone repeatedly
unwanted physical or sexual touching
throwing objects with the intent to injure or annoy
Threatening/Psychological bullying:
stalking, threats or implied threats
dirty looks
manipulation – pressuring others to do things they don't want to do
intimidation – forcing students to do demeaning or embarrassing acts
extortion – forcing someone to give you money or material items
Verbal bullying:
constant teasing in a sarcastic and offensive manner
name-calling and offensive nicknames
swearing to unsettle or upset others
homophobic comments to cause distress
racist or sexist comments
Property Abuse:
Stealing money repeatedly
Interfering with someone's belongings
Damaging other personal items
Repeatedly hiding someone's possessions
Cyber bullying:
Cyber bullying is a form of bullying that can have an impact on children who use email, text messaging, chat rooms, mobile phones, mobile phone cameras, discussion groups or web pages. Cyber bullying is covert psychological bullying as it involves repeated hostile behaviour that is intended to cause harm and distress.
Methods of cyber bullying include:
Texting derogatory messages on mobile phones
Sending threatening emails
Forwarding a confidential email on to several other people
Ganging up on one student and bombarding him/her with emails
Setting up a derogatory web site dedicated to a targeted student and inviting others to
Participants in a chat room saying derogatory comments about or excluding someone.
With other forms of bullying that take place, children receive some respite when they leave the school grounds and enter the safety of their own home. Cyber bullying is far more invasive than other forms of bullying in that victims may be exposed to it whenever they have access to their mobile phone or are using the Internet. This can potentially expose children to cyber bullying 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Cyber bullying can also be carried out anonymously and it is thought that while most children would not bully someone face to face, they are more likely to cyber bully someone where they can send the message without the person knowing it was them or without seeing the impact it has on the person. The impact of the written word that can be read over and over again can also be very powerful.
While the majority of mobile phone and computer usage is done outside of school hours, its effects can still have a major impact on school life. The College therefore includes mobile phone and internet usage in the College Bullying Policy.
Note: Other forms of conflict, including teasing and fighting amongst peers are not necessarily bullying. These may represent the normal dynamics of a particular friendship and children need to have the skills to deal with these situations. Conflict between students of roughly equal physical strength and/or social status may require implementation of the school's behavioural policy.
The Bystander
Bullying is a social dynamic that involves all students, not just those bullying or being bullied.
The bystander is the name given to the group of children who are not directly involved in either the bullying or being bullied. The action taken by this group has been shown to either discourage or support the person bullying.
Bystanders can play an important role by being supportive of the person being bullied by seeking help, asking the person bullying to stop, by showing support for the behaviour or walking away.
The College Program to counter bullying focuses on how student bystanders can become motivated to assist peers. The expectations of the peer group are crucial to setting the tolerance levels for inappropriate behaviour, and in turn promoting pro-social outcomes.

IRVING, Texas -- Washington's decision to bench Donovan McNabb came as a surprise to the Cowboys.
"I didn't even know that," safety Alan Ball said. "Thanks for the news."
Mike Shanahan has elected to go with Rex Grossman as the Redskins' starter Sunday at Cowboys Stadium and McNabb will be the No. 3 quarterback behind John Beck.
Several defenders said they weren't too familiar with Grossman's game. McNabb is more of the running threat between the two; Grossman is more likely to stay in the pocket.
"People do things for a reason," linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. "Grossman could be in there for one play and McNabb could be right back out there, so we've got to be ready to play our game."
Ware sacked Grossman twice when the Cowboys beat Chicago in 2007.

This is a great topic! I HATE washing, its so boring and takes up heaps of time but doesn't everyone. I thought I'd write a few tips which I use to help me cope with the evilness of clothes washing!
Tip 1: Its IMPOSSIBLE to just do one load of washing when you have clothes, sheets, towels, tea towels etc. But if you can manage it, save up all the washing for one day. I try to wash on a Friday night or Saturday morning so I'm ready for the week ahead.
Tip 2: NEVER and i mean NEVER wash your towels and clothes together or you will be picking fluff off your clothes for weeks, especially the black ones. (I learnt that one the hard way)
Tip 3: Hand washing your clothes is really really good on your clothes but is a time waster. If your me and can't be bothered than just throw them all in the washing machine and let it do its magic!
Tip 4: Items of clothes which stain easily or have stains on them e.g. underwear, whites, kitchen items should be put in a bucket with some nappy sand. Leave them for a while than rinse the clothes off and put in the washing machine.
Tip 5: If you do hand wash any clothes (things like above) you should put them in the washing machine on the spin cycle before hanging up. If you turn off the water to your washing machine they will just spin, they don't need to get washed again!
Tip 6: Girls, if you don't want your tops to stretch on the washing line than hand them from the bottom with the arm parts towards the ground.
Tip 7: Not EVERYTHING has to be ironed but if you like your clothes to be softer than just run the iron over them while its warm.
Tip 8: If you have space than get a clothes line that can be strung up undercover. You will never have to worry about your clothes getting wet again and can hang them up any time you feel like it e.g in the night time.


text: Good morning everyone. A lot of small things turn me on, it may be a certain song, the colour of a bedroom or smell of a certain perfume but recently I have been getting aroused when I drive pass a certain apartment block. The question is Do I have a fetish for concrete and is there anyone else out there with the same symptoms as me.

One of my friends who is a registered nurse working abroad recently came home for a vacation. We were all so happy to see her again and we were glad to see that she is doing so well, even if she's away from family and friends. We haven't seen her in a long time and she really decided to make her presence felt when she got here by giving us all presents. The presents ranged from handbags, blouses, wallets, make-up, and notebooks. We didn't need gifts as we were just so happy to see her, but I have to say we were delighted that she had been so thoughtful. It felt like Christmas! I got two items from her, a bag and a blouse, and both are great! Anyhow, my friend's vacation here is packed full and her schedule is really tight. She'll be going out of town to visit one of the famous beaches here, and when she comes back she said she needs to take some time to buy some scrub uniforms for work. She was so busy before she left buying gifts for use, she didn't get around to it. I asked her if she knew where to buy scrubs here, since she had not been here in so long. She said that wasn't a problem because she usually buys her scrubs online as she has found a website that has a great selection at really good prices. She thinks if she orders them from here, they will be waiting at her home when she gets back. My friend says this is a great time saver for her and it is just so convenient :)

By Ian Slayter (pictured)
Often, care is shouldered by families — people, whether relatives or friends, who provide the emotional and practical support that is so critical to someone living with mental illness. They are one of our greatest resources because they provide timely, insightful information about a person who is becoming more ill or not responding well to treatments.
Providing families with general information about treatment and care improves their understanding of what their loved one may be experiencing. If we encourage patients to consent to share basic clinical information about their illness, treatment and needs, families are better able to help them. We know from research that working with families improves patient outcomes.
We have a duty of care not only to the patient but also secondarily to the family, as defined above, both to help them support the patient, and to help them cope with the challenges of living with, and caring for, someone with mental illness.
We have drafted disclosure guidelines, with insight from individuals living with mental illness, families and care providers to guide how and what information can be shared when the patient consents, and what is withheld when the patient is not prepared to do so.
This is all in accordance with the Personal Health Information Act and other applicable laws of Nova Scotia. We are now finalizing the guidelines in response to the extensive feedback received from stakeholders.
In an April 28 opinion piece titled "Mental health care: Are our rights to privacy being eroded?" Aileen McGinty stated that our policies, meaning the draft disclosure guidelines, "may not be in compliance with legislation." However, we have taken steps to ensure that the guidelines do follow legislation and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
She suggested the guidelines prioritize the rights of family members over the rights of patients. We respect the rights of the individuals living with mental illness and work with them to arrive at the level of consent they are comfortable with, first and foremost. There are certain situations, allowed by law, where limited disclosure may be necessary to prevent danger.
Patients' personal health information is private and confidential. The central message of our guidelines is that care providers should explain to patients that sharing of some of their clinical information about their illness, treatment and related needs can improve the level of their support. The care providers are advised to ask if the patient wishes to consent to share particular information with designated persons.
Ms. McGinty's feedback is helpful; we need to make certain elements clearer. We have received a lot of helpful feedback from many people. The disclosure guidelines will be available on our website, OurHealthyMinds.com, along with other supporting material.
Collaboration is a major step in improving our services. The insight we gain from individuals and families based on their experiences in our system is invaluable. The disclosure guidelines provide a process to open communication among individuals, families and care providers, while protecting and respecting the rights of individuals living with mental illness.
Dr. Ian Slayter is clinical director, Adult General Psychiatry Services, Capital Health Mental Health Program; and assistant professor, Dalhousie University, department of psychiarty.

With a polished stainless steel case and bracelet, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and 50 meters water resistance, the Orient Trooper is dressy enough for a night on the town yet tough enough for the field.

that sounds great, i only wish i had joined 6 months ago :0(
I started a group over a year ago called the Gun Owners Fellowship. The idea is to have gun owners across the country band together to support one another should a member face harassment, wrongful arrest, false charges, etc. And in the most severe case, should a member actually ever have to USE a firearm in self-defense and face possible criminal/civil liability, the Fellowship kicks into action immediately.
The way this works is you have to be an active member BEFORE anything happens, so unfortunately you can't join after the fact to get support. We did ONE TIME support someone who joined afterward, but that was at the generosity of the members. We had a membership drive and fundraiser for that individual and raised about $2,000. But from here on out we will only support people who join ahead of time.
The only other requirements are 1) Member OBVIOUSLY has to be qualified by law to own a gun 2) Member must be responsible and therefore not engaged in any criminal or negligent behavior 3) Don't put yourself in situation where you know you will be arrested 4) Cooperate with Fellowship administration after you make your request for help
Pretty straight-forward. We would even support members in incidents where they arguably violated some draconian technicality (such as the concealed vs. unloaded/encased in vehicle conundrum in Wisconsin). We only care that the member didn't commit a real crime with a victim.
I know what's going on in WI with the open carry movement - I want to help out as much as possible which is why I'm trying to use ICarry.org to promote it. I love seeing people exercise their rights within the law even if it means possible harassment and persecution/prosecution. I've been hoping for 4+ years now that Wisconsin would get the open carry movement going, and it looks like it finally has!!!
So I would invite all responsible members here to consider joining the Gun Owners Fellowship and if you ever need its support you will have it. We have a lot of members from all over the country who are ready and willing to pitch in if the authorities up there won't respect your rights.
that sounds great, i only wish i had joined 6 months ago :0(
I'm sure we have some people from Wisconsin already - dunno if they are open carriers or not. We've been around one year though and have had 0 members request assistance. So I'd say that's pretty good. I don't want anyone to get in trouble, but the other part of me is anxious to test it out though. The first one will be a learning experience for me too. I'm lucky to have extensive experience in the legal system though.

BALTIMORE – What a great time for an observer with a sense of mischief!
This year's presidential campaign is the most absurd and remarkable we have ever witnessed.
After more than two centuries, Americans are finally getting the democracy they deserve – one that is grotesque… slimy… and immensely entertaining, albeit in the mud-wrasslin' genre.
In Sunday's debate, one candidate actually promised, if he wins, to put the other one in jail.
The other one, with a straight face, said she would risk provoking Russia into a war by backing the al-Qaeda-linked rebels in Syria.
Who could possibly be so earnest and civic-minded as not to laugh?
But the financial world is our beat here at the Diary. And it, too, keeps us chuckling.
Yesterday, stocks and bonds sold off. The British pound plummeted versus the dollar. And LIBOR – the rate some of the world's largest banks offer each other for short-term loans… and a key gauge of the health of the banking system – spiked.
Most commentators tell us that investors are reacting to the smoke signals from the Fed.
Apparently, after eight years of "emergency" low interest rates, America's central bankers are wondering what the emergency is.
Now, they hint, they will tighten credit conditions as though they meant it.
The absurdity of fixing interest rates in what is supposed to be a free-market economy must be working on their innards. They go to bed at night gassy and bloated and wake up with their heads aching…
Central banks set out to mislead investors, households, and businesses with their phony money and fake interest rate signals.
Now they are lost, too.
With no honest money or true prices to guide them, they don't know east from west or up from down. They don't know where they are… and they are afraid they might end up where they don't want to be.
The fear is interfering with their digestion.
So, they talk about returning to "normal." But there is no way to do that. Not without suffering the cramps and pains they so richly deserve.
As the manager of the world's biggest hedge fund, Ray Dalio predicted last week even a 1% increase in the Fed's target lending rates would mean trillions of dollars of losses in stocks and bonds.
How could the Yellen Fed sit still for that after pretending to protect investors from risk for the last eight years?
And as we've been pointing out, there is no reason to expect the losses would stop at a few trillion dollars.
The greater the absurdity, the greater the panic that follows it. In a matter of weeks, as much as $75 trillion could be wiped from the world's asset prices.
There is currently about $14 trillion worth of debt trading at the most absurd (negative!) rates in 5,000 years.
U.S. stocks are near record highs… even as corporate balance sheets have deteriorated and GDP growth has stalled.
And "inflation" and "unemployment," as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), are largely fantasies.
And the little people know it…
Our friend Rob Marstrand from OfWealth just looked at one key price – one that is near and dear to the working class: the price of a pickup truck.
According to the BLS, prices on automobiles have barely budged over the last 20 years. But that is clearly absurd. A new Ford F-150 pickup costs upward of $26,000 today. The same basic truck was about $15,000 in 1996.
The BLS says the two are actually the same price because today's pickup is "better."
Yes, that's right. It is better. More electronic gear. Airbags. And so forth. So, BLS argues that, dollar for dollar, you get the same amount of truck today as you did in 1996.
But, of course, the man who needs a pickup truck cannot go to the dealer and say, "I just want $15,000 worth of pickup. You know, like I got in 1996."
He still has to pay the full $26,000… and it still does basically the same job it did during the Clinton administration. It takes him and his tools from point A to point B. But it costs him 70% more.
The other big thing a working man needs is a place to live.
According to the BLS, since 1996, housing prices have gone up about 50%. But when we do a little fact-checking, we find that, 20 years ago, the typical home sold for $137,000.
Today, the median sales price is $305,500. Wait, that's not 50% more. It's 123% more. We didn't check with the BLS, but we suppose the discrepancy is due to the same "adjustment" made by wonks who think that today's house is "better."
Maybe so. But the typical working stiff still has to live in the typical house and drive the typical truck to his typical job. He can't say, "I'll just take the house, but hive off a couple of those bedrooms. I can't afford them."
But wait… Does the typical working man earn 70% more today than he did 20 years ago?
According to the Census Bureau, in 1996, the average nominal (unadjusted for inflation) personal income of people with "some college" but no degree was about $29,000.
Today, if we read it right, it is $40,000. That's an increase of about 38%, not 70%.
The feds – with their phony adjustments – show the typical person standing still. But he is not. After two decades of prices rising more than three times as fast as incomes, the typical person is far worse off than he was 20 years ago.
His major expenses – and we have not even mentioned tuition and medical care, which even the fed's fake numbers show are 200% and 100% higher, respectively, than they were in 1996 – cost him $109,000 more than they did 20 years ago…. and he has only $5,000 more income.
Why else would voters spend a minute listening to a scalawag such as Donald Trump? Fake money, fake statistics, fake interest rates – they've created an economy where the Trump voter has less real income.
They know they have been bamboozled. They count on Donald to do something about it.
It's been a crushing couple of months for the British pound…
Since the surprise decision by British voters at the end of June to exit the European Union – the so-called Brexit – the value pound has been absolutely gutted.
As you can see from the chart above, the British pound is down a whopping 18% versus the dollar since the Brexit vote.
Did you lose money during the 2008 financial crisis?
If so, you need to watch this urgent message from Doug Casey and his team. You see, there are events unfolding right now in Italy that could ultimately set off a financial shock in America far greater than what we saw in 2008.
In this video, you will learn how to protect yourself in this coming financial storm and specific ways to profit from it.
Bill's Diary about Sunday's "depressing" second presidential debate was a big hit with readers…
Loved Bill's article today on the debate – I couldn't agree with him more. It's sad but true!
– Gord P.
Interesting you say about Sunday's debate, "I can't watch this – it's too depressing."
Within minutes after watching the VP debate, I called my wife into our living room. I asked her if she would take my blood pressure. My eyes felt like they were about to explode out of their sockets.
I have been on medicine for high blood pressure for a while so this request was nothing new for her. I was a little concerned after she repeated the process a second time. Even without medicine I have never had a reading of 188/98! It was then that I decided to not watch any more of these two debate (health reasons) – seriously!!
– Joe M.
Have been wondering if Bill could bring himself to watch the "debate" and how he'd react. Best analysis I've heard, or read, anywhere.
What a truly, truly, awful spectacle. I have, up till now, been hoping that Trump would trump Clinton, regardless of how bad he might be.
However, after watching that absolutely bizarre performance, I am convinced that Mr. Bonner is absolutely correct in that it really doesn't matter: Both candidates are as bad as the other, and the Deep State will just keep on keeping on regardless. What a sorry state of affairs.
– John S.
But not everyone agrees with Bill's take on the debate…
One of the great mysteries to me is why Trump is the only one noting the problems that must be addressed for the country to survive.
Everywhere you look on the internet, fear of the future is evident. What will remain of the existing in upcoming events? You don't have to believe in the Bible to see the Devil's deeds ongoing.
– Dave D.
There's more at stake here than just personalities. If we EVER hope to get out of the morass we have been for too long, we MUST have an outsider in the Oval Office.
What Donald Trump said 11 years ago when he was a Democrat has no meaning to those of us who can't bear to think of another four years of the same old same old.
Our nation can't withstand more crippling debt, more crippling rules for businesses, more trampling over the Constitution, and Supreme Court justices who make laws instead of following the laws of our nation. There is much more, but this gives you an idea of how many of us are thinking.
– Winona Y.
You have on more than one occasion referred to Donald Trump as an opportunist, and this baffles me.
I see Trump as a person who is deeply concerned about the direction this country has taken – a man who is hell-bent and determined to do something about it.
With regard to his potty mouth, is there a woman alive who isn't aware of how insecure little boys, who genuinely fear us, engage in their dumb locker-room bragging?
You all do it. Oh, but you never have. Uh-huh, I see.
–Marilyn G.
The Fed Will Kill the Dollar
The Fed's reckless actions have completely doomed our financial system… and the only escape may be to trash the dollar. But that will have a major impact on gold.
Ray Dalio: There's a "Big Squeeze" Coming
Ray Dalio, who manages more than $160 billion in assets at his hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, warns that there is a "big squeeze" coming in the debt markets. Bondholders beware…
Women Are Deserting Donald Trump in Droves
A new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute shows a massive gender split among American voters. Trump is losing women by a larger margin than any candidate in U.S. presidential history.
I watched the debate in its entirety. Striking is the overall tenor of each candidate answer to the questions. Hillary answers are those of a politician. double talking in generalities,
never really answering specifics. Trump answers from the approach of business angle. He gives specifics in a general summary of the topics without infrastructure strategically.
This goes against the political banter which creates friction in itself. Political correctness
is governed by the press ; which seems to be a dual standard. If you were to look into those hot mic out takes you would find something far worse than locker room banter boy talk or girl talk. The press is a two edged sword; and is skewed to liberal and Democratic
views. Anything that is in opposition will receive bad press and assassination of character.
The press's adverse ,accusatory, twisting of information, and character assassination by using excerpts of videos, and audios to prove a flaw or an inference, pushes the boundaries of the 1st amendment rights.
The DNC wants Hillary as the first woman presidency. They railed Sanders and supporters. The DNC or powers that be intentionally blanked the roll call tally. Why?
Even Jon Carl of ABC noticed this and asked why. He couldn't find out except it was an
glitch, oversight, and the final tally would display after after Sanders released his endorsement. With the Sanders supporters outcry the committee didn't want to find Hillary short of the required vote of affirmation; which could of been a rallying objection
had the tally been there from beginning to the end.
Trump had acknowledged the hot-mic issue from 11years ago. He Did apologize for this and tried to move on. But the Press wasn't satisfied, were they? By the way what is the statute of limitations ?on something 11 yrs old anyway?? This is a designed character assassination by the press. What about Benghazi and it investigation? I believe that it was
more than casual conversation that was exchanged with the FBI's director and Bill Clinton? The result the FBI did not have enough information to indict Hillary?? The information disappeared just like Ambassador Ron Brown's file back during Bill Clinton 's
presidency. Someone found it in the private living room of the White House. With respect
to Ron Brown may you rest in the lord always. It is rumored, conjectured, and bantered about by people back then and even today , that if the Clintons see opposition that implicates them, the information what ever that is ,disappears.
Trump need to get his act together with respect to platform specifics. He needs to attack Hillary Clinton 's operation handling secretary state of affairs, Benghazi and the rest.
Your trashing of Trump tells me you are trying to get people roused or are simply ignorant of what hrc will do to this country. I can't believe we are still here after eight years of bho. Sometimes I feel like we are living in a nightmare. People can't honestly believe that hrc will be better than Trump. Our grandkids will suffer greatly in many ways if hrc is elected. Only God could help us then.
All these sheep who follow Trump fail to look at his 6 known bankruptcies in business, his loss of nearly a billion dollars in one year even if they don't care about his character. What he is in what was characterized as a private/exclusive moment is what he truly is. What his business/financial dealings have been indicate how he would lead the economy. But sheep can't look objectively. I left the republican party when Trump got into the race and registered as a libertarian, but I can't vote for Gary Johnson either because he is totally unaware of what has been going on in the rest of the world. I really don't know who I am going to vote for, but it will be a write in, probably a previous candidate from another year.
Bill, please don't exaggerate. Trump did not promise to put Hillary in jail. He said she ought to be in jail and that he would appoint a Special Prosecutor. Given what she seems to have done, that is perfectly reasonable.
Your distortion of the facts about Trump will help elect Hillary and maybe that is to your best interest. Your position that the two candidates are equally bad is not supported by the facts (which you like to champion) and makes you seem disingenuous. You seem to be hiding something.
I don't think that Trump is some champion of liberty, but much better that Hillary who would deal a major blow to Western Civilization.
It is absolutely amazing to pay Bill Bonner for financial advice, which He Alleges Flows from HIs Wisdom and Integrity, and then read his Endless Monumental Insults Against Donald Trump , the Only One in this country Attacking and Eliminating "The Deep State," which Bonner endlessly talks about but Never Thoroughly Describes — and why is that, Bill? The "Deep State" is the fewer than 20 Families who Own Our U. S. Currency from the unconstitutional passage of The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, signed by Woodrow Wilson on December 23, 1913, after being zipped through Congress after Thanksgiving by Nelson Aldridge, then Senate President and John D Rockefeller's first cousin. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 gave total control of U. S. Currency to the private Federal Reserve Bank of New York, owned by the 3 Rothschild Brothers of Europe, The Stuarts of England (The Queen's family), the Warburgs of Austria, three more interesting families from the area around northers Italy, then followed by the U. S. Rockefeller's, Morgans, Carnegies, and the rest. As the lead Rothschild brother is fond of stating,"give me control of a nation's currency and I care not who governs it." To keep all this secret, The Families immediately created The Council On Foreign Relations, David Rockefeller Chairman Emeritus, in 1918, as a Controlled Group consisting of the owners/heads of all the Media on the Planet, all the key bank owners in The U. S. and Europe, The heads of most of the major law firms in the U. S. , some Fortune 100 owners, and every major Washington Politician on both sides of the aisle, including every president, except Jack Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. It now has 4700 members listed on the web site, http://www.cfr.org. Why have you not told this story, Bill Bonner? And why do you attack Donald Trump, the Only Presidential Candidate not controlled by the outreach of The Families? I look forward to your interesting and very long reply.
I am now retired for 20 years. When I worked I had all kinds of security clearances, Q, S, TS and etc. If you are working hard at doing a job you will be accused at times of violating some security regulations by some self-righteous, ignorant person who by the way is unproductive. There is a lot of data out there that should have not ever been classified, usually done in hindsight, to be a gotcha by some otherwise unproductive person. By the way Hillary's server was never hacked but the head of NSA had his hacked. If the truth were known the NSA has probably been hacked many times but that's classified data and not released to the public! Also if someone sends you something that someone thinks is classified data in an e mail and its on your server before you even read it, is that a violation? That's partly what happened to HRC.

Disney California Adventure – August 2014
Woke up early to hit rope drop. This was a rare occasion as I haven't done rope drop since I was a kid. Granted the lines were short, but I just feel that losing sleep for 5 minute waits for Tower of Terror or Screamin' is not really worth it. Anyway, the wife's brother was in town and they wanted to go to the parks early, so how could I deny them a family trip? As we walked through DCA's gates and waited patiently for rope drop, we figured we would try to get my son Radiator Springs Racers. He loves watching Cars. He loves Lightning McQueen. He loves loud and fast things he can ride. Obviously we would chuck him onto RSR once he finally hit 40 inches. We found out he had hit that mark at Legoland last month, so we strolled right on in to Radiator Springs.
The kid did not seem to have a clue what we were doing until we reached a part of the line where you can see the load/unload. That is where he spotted the ride vehicles and was eager to get in one, he pointed at them as he studied them from afar. The ride was like any other tame Disney dark ride for him, and he enjoyed it so far, but it wasn't until the race section he was a solidified RSR fan. As we sped out of the Cadillac Range and into the first banked turn, my son grabbed my arm with both hands in a death grip of fear but his face had the hugest smile plastered across it. By the time we reached back into the station, I knew we would have to ride again when he wouldn't stop talking about the "up and down" part of the ride.
Unluckily, when my wife took him in on a baby swap, the CM at the front of the line blocked him from entering. At Legoland he passes the 40″ height check with flying colors. He had just passed the height check at the station on his first ride five minutes ago. Yet at the beginning of the line, he just could not hit the bottom of the bar no matter how straight my wife tried to get him to stand. Go figure. Instead of trying to beg the guy we decided to just go another day. By then he should have grown a couple of centimeters to hit the bar without a question of doubt. Until then though, the wife and I will be debating on having to adjust our park visiting hours as long as the running of bulls for Racers still occurs.

Afghanistan and its neighbors
"In the new foreign policy that Ghani recently outlined, the United States finds itself consigned to the third of the five circles of importance. The first circle contains neighboring countries, including China with its common border with Afghanistan, and the second is restricted to the countries of the Islamic world.
In the new politics of Afghanistan under Ghani, as the chances for peace talks between his government and the unbeaten Taliban brighten, the Obama administration finds itself gradually but unmistakably being reduced to the status of bystander. Meanwhile, credit for those potential peace talks goes to the Chinese leadership, which has received a Taliban delegation in Beijing twice in recent months, and to Ghani, who has dulled the hostility of the rabidly anti-Indian Taliban by reversing the pro-India, anti-Pakistan policies of his predecessor, Hamid Karzai.
How to Influence Afghans
Within a month of taking office in late September, Ghani flew not to Washington — he made his obligatory trip there only last week — but to Beijing. There he declared China "a strategic partner in the short term, medium term, long term, and very long term." In response, Chinese President Xi Jinping called his Afghan counterpart "an old friend of the Chinese people," whom he hailed for being prepared to work toward "a new era of cooperation" and for planning to take economic development "to a new depth."
As an official of the World Bank for 11 years, Ghani had dealt with the Chinese government frequently. This time, he left Beijing with a pledge of 2 billion yuan ($327 million) in economic aid for Afghanistan through 2017.
The upbeat statements of the two presidents need to be seen against the backdrop of the twenty-first-century Great Game in the region in which, after 13 years of American war, Chinese corporations are the ones setting records in signing up large investment deals. In 2007, the Metallurgical Corporation of China and Jiangxi Copper Corporation, a consortium, won a $4.4 billion contract to mine copper at Aynak, 24 miles southeast of Kabul. Four years later, China National Petroleum Corporation in a joint venture with a local company, Watan Oil & Gas, secured the right to develop three oil blocks in northwestern Afghanistan with a plan to invest $400 million.
In stark contrast, 70 U.S. companies had invested a mere $75 million by 2012, according to the Afghanistan Investment Support Agency. What Washington policymakers find galling is that China has not contributed a single yuan to pacify insurgency-ridden Afghanistan or participated in the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force in that country, and yet its corporations continue to benefit from the security provided by the presence of American soldiers.
In the other equally important realm of soft power, when it came to gaining popularity among Afghans through economic aid, New Delhi outperformed Washington in every way. Though at $2 billion, its assistance to Kabul was a fraction of what Washington poured into building the country's infrastructure of roads, schools, and health clinics, the impact of India's assistance was much greater. This was so partly because it involved little waste and corruption.
Continuing the practice dating back to the pre-Taliban era, the Indian government channeled its development aid for the building of wells, schools, and health clinics directly into the Afghan government's budget. This procedure was dramatically different from the one followed by the U.S. and its allies. They funneled their aid money directly to civilian contractors or to approved local and foreign nongovernmental organizations with little or no oversight. The result was massive fraud and corruption.
By funding the building of a new parliamentary complex on the outskirts of Kabul, the Afghan capital, at the cost of $140 million, India provided a highly visible example of its generosity. This gesture also served to set it off publicly from its regional rival, Pakistan. It has, after all, been a functioning multiparty democracy since independence (except for a 19-month hiatus under emergency rule in 1975-76). In contrast, the military in Pakistan has overthrown its civilian government three times, administering the country for 31 years since its founding in August 1947 following the partition of British India."
The USA has been functioning on the Wilson-FDR model which is based on Hebrew mythology. That mythology is one of mass killing, destruction, theft and general mayhem.
Wilson was seduced — or blackmailed — by Jewish leaders to go to war in 1917.
FDR was taken to the mountaintop by Felix Frankfurter. FDR took up Frankfurter's proposal and used it to his own agenda — moral: if you're immoral enough to make a pact with the devil don't expect that you are dealing with angels.
But Nixon to China was a completely different model. No violence. The Munich Pact but without the devil's interference
Then G H W Bush revived the FDR – Churchill model
Why did obama so readily adopt the neocon/kagan ideology?
Meanwhile, China, benefiting from the Nixon-China model, is benefiting in South Asia.

Inspired by Poetry of Rumi
Azima Melita Kolin
Beloved, you are my salvation
my only companion, my retreat and guide,
but you are also the one who breaks my heart.
You are my Noah, my soul
the conquered and the conqueror.
Open my heart and sweep it clean
from all my secrets.
You are Grace enveloped in light,
kindness and wrath,
a drop and the vast ocean
how long will you torment me?
My Sun, my flicker of hope,
do not let me die of thirst
for you are the water and the cup
you are my pain and my cure.
Release me from the web of the body
and keep my heart by your side.
— Rumi

Practice new method of getting out of bed: shoulders and pelvis must move in the same plane - no twisting. Ever. Funny non-skid socks. And we go out in the hall to walk.
I still have a mental picture of physical therapy in the movies. Remember to be grateful that I'm not as damaged as in the movies. I also miss the machines that my physical therapist (PT) had me use many months ago, after the first diagnosis. I guess I'm not even strong enough for them yet.
There is a "seat belt" physical therapists use over my brace, just around the waist, so they can grab me if I fall, even though I use the walker.
Walking doesn't seem like rehab to me until I remember the pain in July and more recently, before the X-rays, especially in my right leg. Those leg nerves have to heal. The two PTs go with me. They seem to hover, pat my shoulder, give me a lot of encouragement with each step. What I really need is reminders to stand straight, hold my stomach in, shoulders back. I'm not used to someone talking at me.
Too soon, we're back in my room. I'm tired. Remove brace, fasten it on the walker. Every time I meet a new pt or nurse, I have to explain that basically, I live alone, and if the brace falls on the floor at home, there is no one to pick it up. Back to bed.
I manage to get someone to give me my book and put my water where I can get it. I want my purse in the bed, since it is the only safe place for my cell phone--feels like my survival machine.

Maddox: Risk-Taking
It seems that more and more the greatest Christian virtue has become balance, which seems completely opposite of Scripture's story. Somehow we've been led to believe that good Christians are those whose life produces the least amount of risk possible.
One look at the life of Scripture's heroes shows something completely different. Abraham? Moses? Deborah? Elijah? The Prophets? John the Baptist? Mary? Peter? Paul? Jesus? I don't think so.
These are men and women of outrageous dedication whose lives looked completely out of balance. The world tries to form us into the same mold as everyone else, but the Sermon on the Mount beckons us to buck that trend.
Blessed are the poor in Spirit? Blessed are those who mourn? Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness? Don't be angry with anyone? Love your enemies? Pray for those who persecute you? Don't worry?
We're not called to be calibrated to the world's directional compass? We're called to be calibrated to the life of Jesus Christ, which puts us way off balance.
Maddox, may God bless you with an imbalanced life that looks like Jesus Christ. Along the way, you might want to take a risk for the kingdom of God. You might want to start an inner-city ministry or become a part of a Christian peacekeeping team in the midst of city torn apart by war. When you have those dreams, don't let your mother and I stand in the way of them. We might want you to stay safe, but don't let our desire for your safety get in the way of God's kingdom dream for you. I give you permission to defy us if we are standing in the way of you living out your kingdom vocation.
Should you choose to live this kind of imbalanced life, the world will look at you like you're crazy. However, few balanced people have ever changed the world. Be a risk taker for the kingdom of God. Perhaps nothing else will wake up Americans from our spiritual slumber than your risky life of discipleship!

The Amazing Spider-Man
The make up/CGI was actually pretty good...aside from the fact that The Lizard looked more like the 1993 Mario Bros movie Goomba rather then what he was suppose to look like. Also one thing that was going on was Spider-Man was flashing his face all over the place. So now the majority of New York knows what he looks like.
On a good note Stan Lee makes his well known appearance and I'm soooo glad Disney let him continue with that.
There is an after Credit...sort of...nothing about the Avengers...but mostly a continue for the trilogy. Don't stay after the credits...when you see the Professor in jail...thats the last bit. Its a waste of your time unless you just wanna sit and listen to the music.
The majority of the movie surrounds a bunch of teenage angst rather then saving the day. The scenes are very drawn out uselessly. I say the movie could have been shorter by about 30 minutes because of this fact. All in all...I think this movie shouldn't have been made.
I give it a -5 out of 10

The plans I had last night were postponed 'til today, so in a few minutes I'll be going over to Julie with a bottle of vodka, and some good music. Not too bad.. No need for overdressing exactly, so I'm wearing this simple top, with ripped jeans, and (as usual) lots of jewlery.. If I'm not wearing jewlery of any kind (or nailpolish) I feel kinda naked.
Well, have a great Sunday everyone :)

He said the Government would provide 100 per cent of their capital costs. Church schools normally have to pay 15 per cent towards new building. Mr Byers said that the money would allow popular church primary schools to expand and "join the crusade to reduce class sizes".
The minister was responding to an Opposition debate that noted primary class sizes had increased since the Government came to power and that almost half a million pupils at key stage 1 were in classes of 31 or more. He said the Government was funding the class size reduction from money liberated by the phasing out of assisted school places.
He said that from September Pounds 22 million would be available to employ 1,500 more teachers, ensuring more than 100,000 five, six and seven-year-olds would be taught in classes of 30 or fewer.
David Willetts, the shadow education secretary, said that the extra money would find its way to affluent areas where the largest classes were concentrated. He said reducing infant class sizes would lead to a reduction in parental choice and result in more mixed-age classes. He quoted a report by Coopers Lybrand, commissioned by the Local Government Association, which backed these claims.

Devon Still Released By Bengals: Daughter Leah's Medical Bills To Be Covered By NFL Insurance
The Cincinnati Bengals announced Saturday they would release defensive lineman Devon Still as the team continued to cut its roster down to the 53-player limit ahead of the 2015 NFL season. Still, who became an international advocate in the fight against cancer after his daughter Leah was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2014, will still have coverage under the NFL's insurance policy for the next five years, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
Still had been a member of the Bengals' roster since 2012, when the franchise chose him in the second round of the NFL draft. Cincinnati also cut Still before the start of last season, only to assign him to its practice squad shortly thereafter. Ultimately, the franchise promoted him to its 53-man roster, which made him eligible for a higher salary and insurance coverage from the league.
Still took to social media Saturday to express gratitude to the Bengals for his time with the team. "Have nothing but love for the Bengals organization and the city of Cincinnati. Both helped me through one of the darkest times of my life and I am forever grateful. It's time to move forward and see what's next #IKnowThereIsAPlanForMe," Still wrote on his Instagram account.
Neuroblastoma is a rare, aggressive type of pediatric cancer that affects about 700 children annually. Treatment for the condition is costly – shortly after Leah's diagnosis, Still said her medical bills could approach $1 million. But Still's time on the Bengals' active roster last season kept him eligible for NFL insurance, which will covered the entirety of her treatment, ESPN reported.
The Bengals also donated more than $1 million to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center last November, through proceeds raised from sales of Still's jersey. Still had signed a one-year deal with the franchise last March, but contract details were not made available.
Leah Still's cancer went into remission last March. In June, Still announced that doctors had informed him the cancer had not returned. A month later, Still accepted the Perseverance Award at ESPN's "ESPY's" award show and addressed his daughter's fight in a powerful speech.

Nothing to see here... (Gripe heavy post...)
Gained .8 lb.
This is when I try and convince myself that I really don't want to throw the scale against the wall repeatedly after bashing it over my head at least once or twice. And, to add insult to injury, I was told by an extremely stupid person, gee, you must be retaining water, just don't drink any water, and you'll lose, no problem.
Um. Right. Yeah. I might indeed be retaining water, but what, eat dust for the next week? What kind of help is that?!?! Yeah, as I recall there is another little problem about not drinking water, this little detail, you DIE if you abstain long enough. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
Then on top of that, my Roseca is acting up, where I look like a pizza face, so my self esteem is oh, about knee high on a short ant right now.
Ok, enough of that. I have next week, right? I will get on the horse again, so to speak, and we shall see what transpires. On the bright side, having nothing to do with this, I had to correct a newsletter that I make for the Sheriff's Office, and was able to do it in only one try. I do think that has to be some sort of record. I saved that about 7 times, so I have a fighting chance to print it out when needed...
No water. Duh.

I'm behind on my commenting, and I had meant to comment on this one yesterday.......ReplyDelete
I wouldn't stress too much about the .8 gain. It's depressing I know, and would be enough to make me cry right now, in part because I'm working soooo hard to be good. As it sounds like you are. Stay on track and I'm sure the scale will treat you right for the next weigh in!
Question about your roseca? As I've heard of it, but don't know much about it. Are there certain things that will cause a flare up? And what do you do to treat it? My youngest has terrible eczema, as well as food allergies. If we're not careful he will have a flare up and his face will break out and look terrible as well as be painful.
That must suck when you have a breakout. I hope it clears up soon!
Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't be too upset, but still makes me annoyed when I think I am doing well and a "Huh? NO WAY!" moment occurs. Then having unwanted advice on top of it just rubs me sorta raw.ReplyDelete
Rosaeca... lots more on this website, www.rosacea.org (I mis-spelled it in the blog, obviously...), but in short, it's little pus-filled bumps on the face (mostly), and your nose and cheeks turn bright red because the veins are much more sensitive to... Well, whatever your triggers are.
If you ever see W.C. Fields, his nose (while probably caused from drinking), could be what untreated rosaeca looks like. I am working hard not to get to that point. (More or less it looks like acne, but my 'stuff' is much smaller, but makes the area around red and puffy. Sort of like having a zit in the middle of a sunburn or rash. (I know, TMI...)
Certain things do cause a flare up. In my case, being in the SUN causes mine. Sometimes cold wind, too. I don't seem to have any food reactions, but if one does, it's some of the same things that can cause migranes, oddly enough, wine, chocolate, hard cheese. Other stuff, too, that I can't remember at the moment.
I treat it with a rub on stuff... Metrocreme, I believe it's called. It is something of an mild anti-biotic, it seems to help a lot, as well as absolutely wearing sunscreen or a hat at ALL TIMES when outdoors. (I really am not wild about wearing hats, so this has been a learning curve. At least I have found a few hats I like...)
So, now you have more than you ever wanted to know about Cat's pizza face! ;)
Thank you so much for your generous sharing of knowledge on this. I sincerely hope I did not make you feel uncomfortable in any way, as thatw as not my intent. I sympathize, I really do.ReplyDelete
Honestly that must be so hard for you!
My youngest, when his face was at its worst from the eczema looked terrible, and I hated the way people would look at him and then do a double take.
I have a hard time wearing hats too, glad you were able to find some you like!
Not a problem, I have lived with it long enough for me to just have it be "one of those things". Doesn't bother me anymore, except on the rare occasion that I have to do stuff in public, (ie, faire performance), otherwise, eh.ReplyDelete
And yes, having a hat that you like is a GOOD thing. Even better, one is my Grandfather's old cowboy hat, so I sorta feel like it's a double good! Hmm. Feel another picture heavy post coming on... Heh.

Being in England with the 24-7
Sure, it felt kind of odd to turn up in London just three weeks after landing in Tanzania but I adjusted :-)
Walking along the High Street in Guilford I thought about how the shops are going to be a problem after I've been in Africa longer. Yea, the lovely displays of attractive things will be causing me to stumble when I return after a much longer stay in TZ. There are book and stationary stores, a Lush, a Body Shop, a Marks and Spencers, a nice kitchen shop etc etc. And I don't even like shopping!
The real gift of the time, though, was just being with Pete Greig, Carla Harding, Billy Kennedy, Brian Heasley, Andy Freeman, Jon Peterson and Ian Nicholson.
Then there was the cute little hat that Brian Heasley bought for Heather. We were poking around in the charity shops (thrift stores) with Billy at a lunch break and he found this cute hat and had to buy it. Heather loves it :-)
When I arrived home I found that Jesse (who was just in Portugal) had brought me olive oil from Barbara. I have a jar of oil pressed from olives harvested at the peaceful plot of the Shanti Pilgrim
Well, the hurdles and hassles of moving, shipping and settling linger on but that's normal. Last night our family gathered to pray and Byron listed a bunch of the stressors before the Lord. "We don't know what to do about these but we do know this," he said. "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
We sat and sang that over and over for a little while. Ups and downs, stressors and times of joy... In it all there is that Jesus love. Now there's a good gift.

As you probably read, I finished the first draft of my fantasy novel "An Amazon Scorned" on January 31st. Unfortunately, I now have to deal with the weak spots in it, such as:
1. There's a partially written scene that was supposed to be character development, but I skipped the rest because it was a foil to the main character.
2. I forgot to write a scene that will set up a Wall Street angle in this series' future books.
3. I need to do more research on the mythological entity that one of the villains is based on... and the entity in question has just a few passages, most of which give the same tidbit of character analysis. (It's Angra Mainyu, if anyone was wondering.)
4. (I may have forgotten to develop and conclude a subplot.)
I'm torn about whether I should query literary agents with the book as is, or if I should take another month to reinforce the weak parts.
In support of querying immediately, is the argument that by the time I hear back from any agent, I probably will have fixed the spots anyway.
An argument against querying immediately, is that if an agent wants to see the whole manuscript, I'll have to either fix the weak spot quickly or send it with its imperfections.
Any advice?
While I'm waiting for feedback, here's a writing prompt about dilemmas.
Prompt: He'd heard about being between a rock and a hard place, but this was ridiculous. If he appeased the disgruntled customer, his boss would take the reimbursement out of his earnings. (The boss was just that kind of lady.) If he tried to send the customer away, his boss would demote him for being insensitive. Faced with this, there was only one thing to do...

Ok, it seems like these are a big hit so I found an actual recipe. I have made them using different sizes pans, brownie mixes, etc. and they have turned out but I know others who have tried and it never turns out. SOOOOOO, here is a REAL recipe for these sinful brownies. Hope you enjoy them!
1 (17.6-ounce) package brownie mix, plus the ingredients called for
3 (5-ounce) Symphony candy bars with almonds and toffee chips
1. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions.
2. Line a 9x13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray.
3. Spoon in half the brownie batter and smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
4. Place the candy bars side by side on top of the batter.
5. Cover with the remaining batter.
6. Bake according to package directions.
7. Let cool completely, then lift from the pan using the edges of the foil. This makes it easy to cut the brownies into squares.
Makes 24 large or 38 small brownies.
