When in Birmingham last week I visited Warstone Lane Cemetery in the Jewellery Quarter. I have no known relatives there but my Sister is involved in a restoration project of this and adjacent Keyhill Cemetery.
As a craftsman I was really taken by the exquisite stone carving on some of the headstones, skilfully drawn and cut. Such a pity that over time the soft sandstone has yielded to the previous corrosive atmosphere of an industrial city. Even now one can walk the streets of the quarter and get a whiff of hydrochloric acid. The cemeterty has an open day, 2nd Saturday in September, interested and volunteers should contact.
Headstone to John Rea.
Headstone to John Price Cook.
Within this space recently an offering of meat, spirits and sweeties had been made. ? Why, I don't know. Perhaps these people might know.
A discrete spot in Warstone Lane Cemetery where one or more partake.
Wonderful headstone, such carving in Memory of Isherwood Sutcliffe Died 1871 Designed and erected by L W Sutcliffe 1888.
Erected to the Memory of Bro George William Manley, P.P.G.A. Died July 11th 1935, Aged 90 Years. By the Ancient Order of Druids Mercia No 4. "A Gentleman and a Druid"
For those who wish to enquire further.

Homes in Bethel, Connecticut
Other cities in the area: Danbury, Shelton, Trumbull, Ridgefield, Monroe, Brewster, Southbury, Stratford
The state of Connecticut is considered a four season state, with many things to see and do during any time of the year. Bethel is just one location you can visit or move to and enjoy countless outdoor activities - everything from skiing to hiking to fishing. Bethel also shares in the state's growth and stable economy, providing business and investment opportunities and stable employment for residents. If you are considering to renovate your Bethel home, take note that some renovation projects are easier to carry out, like draft proofing the windows or doors, building a deck, or fitting in hardwood floor. But other renovation projects require you to hire a professional contractor in Bethel, such as finishing the basement to create a living quarter, renewing the roof, or replacing the furnace, which needs proper codes to complete.

National Day of Prayer at The Hope Center
The Hope Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen the impact of Christian nonprofits in North Texas and worldwide, will participate in the National Day of Prayer by hosting a special time of fellowship and prayer at its Plano campus.
The keynote speaker is Tommy Nelson, author and Senior Pastor at Denton Bible Church. The program will include other speakers from various segments of the North Texas community.
National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday in May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. The bill establishing this day of prayer was unanimously passed by the United States Congress in 1952 and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
There is no cost to attend the hour of fellowship and prayer. There is a nominal charge for the All-American lunch of hot dogs and fixings.

...Russia has had nuclear-capable forces deployed in Crimea for many decades but rumors are increasing that more are coming.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet already has many types of ships and submarines capable of carrying nuclear cruise missiles and torpedoes. More ships are said to be on their way.
Rumors about future deployment of Backfire bombers to Crimea would, if true, be a significant new development, but it would not provide significant new reach compared with existing Backfire bases. And forward-deploying the intermediate-range bombers to Crimea would increase their vulnerability to potential attack.
Some are saying Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles have been deployed, but no hard evidence has been presented and at least one amateur video said to show "Iskander missiles" instead appears to show a coastal missile defense system.
New air-defense missile units that may have nuclear capability are visible on satellite images.
It is doubtful that the nuclear-capable forces currently in Crimea are equipped with nuclear warheads. Their dual-capable missiles are thought to serve conventional missions and their nuclear warheads stored in central storage facilities in Russia.
Yet the rumors are creating uncertainty and anxiety in neighboring countries – especially when seen in context with the increasing Russian air-operations over the Baltic Sea and other areas – and fuel threat perceptions and (ironically) opposition to further reductions of nuclear weapons.
The uncertainty about what's being moved to Crimea and what's stored there illustrates the special problem with non-strategic nuclear forces: because they tend to be dual-capable and serve both nuclear and conventional roles, a conventional deployment can quickly be misinterpreted as a nuclear signal or escalation whether intended or real or not.
The uncertainty about the Crimea situation is similar (although with important differences) to the uncertainty about NATO's temporary rotational deployments of nuclear-capable fighter-bombers to the Baltic States, Poland, and Romania. Russian officials are now using these deployments to rebuff NATO's critique of Russian operations.
This shows that non-strategic nuclear weapons are already being drawn into the current tit-for-tat action-reaction posturing, whether intended or not. Both sides of the crisis need to be particularly careful and clear about what they signal when they deploy dual-capable forces. Otherwise the deployment can be misinterpreted and lead to exaggerated threat perceptions. It is not enough to hunker down; someone has to begin to try to resolve this crisis. Increasing transparency of non-strategic nuclear force deployments – especially when they are not intended as a nuclear signal – would be a good way

We had 3 nights in the apartment and it was fantastic The apartment was really clean with everything you needed to make your stay comfortable It was very convenient to all the amenities in Marbella and Maria was very easy and pleasant to deal with
Owner's reply: Thank you Evelyn. You are so welcome back;)) Maria
The apartment exceeded our expectations, beautifully finished and well stocked - we felt completely at home!! The apartment is situated in the perfect location, just opposite the beach, beautiful restaurants and pretty much everything else. The apartment has everything you could possibly need- it's a home from home kinda place… there's a washing machine, dishwasher, 2 air con units, lots of cupboard/draw space, Tv (which we never had the time to use! Lol . Master bedroom has en-suit and another shower/toilet separately. Balcony over looking the beach, quiet neighbours, didn't see anyone! Beds were magical! and the kids (16 + 13) were so happy that there was WIFI. The owner, Maria was so accommodating and helpful - We would most definitely stay again!!!! There's a lovely coffee bar downstairs (Barroco), great ice cream next door and fantastic places to eat (Barroco restaurant being my fav! Octopus was divine:-)) I cannot express how happy we were staying in this apartment and location etc. We are currently experiencing some serious holiday blues and wished we had stayed longer! :-( Cannot thank maria enough for such a great experience, Thankyou!!!!!
"fantastic location at front line beach, fresh and clean"
We went in this apartment for one week stay and we have really enjoyed our stay. Couldn't be in a better location, We were a couple + 2 teenagers. the building(Marisol 2) is nice and well located in first line beach, close to all restaurants/shops and just few minutes by foot from to old town center. Owner (Maria) have very kindly welcomed us and we felt like at home right away.

We love our Gymboree Play & Music teacher!
I wanted to give praise to our Gymboree teacher, Ms. Jackie at the Jacksonville, FL location. From the first day of our trial class, Ms. Jackie was warm, inviting, and most importantly to me, not pushy about joining the program. We indeed ended up enrolling in the class and have been there since January. My daughter recently moved to Level 2 and has experienced classes with and without Ms. Jackie. While the other teacher is good, my experiences have shown me that Ms. Jackie is an EXCEPTIONAL Gymboree teacher. My daughter smiles with her and she is always very friendly and encouraging. In addition, she takes the time to really listen and remembers things we've discussed week to week. I can tell she really has a passion for her job and enjoys doing what she does. Ms. Jackie makes me feel as though I have a reliable resource in this new city. When I asked her about information on paint for finger/footprints for my daughter, she suggested a ceramic place in town. We went to create a Father's day gift and it was an amazing place and a wonderful recommendation. In addition, because of her many years of experience, Ms. Jackie takes the time to discuss any ideas that she has heard from other parents on different issues, such as teething. I find this to be very valuable as a new mom without a huge support system around me. I can honestly say that Gymboree would not be as enjoyable as it has been for me throughout these past months if it were not for Ms. Jackie. Not only is my daughter benefitting tremendously from the activities and Ms. Jackie's attention and teaching style, but I am also benefitting as well. Ms. Jackie is a huge asset to your program and deserves recognition

John Sayles directs this complex and finely detailed drama about a Texas border town and the people who live there. The film opens with the discovery of a skeleton in the desert, which may be the 40 year old remains of the evil Sheriff Charley Wade (Kris Kristofferson), who disappeared without a trace. The current sheriff, Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) has suspicions that his father, the legendary Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey) may have been involved. Meanwhile, tensions are growing within two other families in the town of Frontera. Colonel Delmore Payne (Joe Morton) returns to town, but can't seem to reconcile relationships with either his father (Ron Canada) or his son. And Pilar (Elizabeth Pena) attempts to rekindle an old high school romance with Sheriff Wade, while her mother (Miriam Colon) can't seem to understand the younger generation. The separate stories at first seem disconnected and disjointed, yet director Sayles weaves these disparate threads into a wonderful tapestry. After seeing the film, it is amazing how layered and detailed the plot and characters are. The film does have its flaws. Cooper comes off rather flat as the central character. He never quite conveys much emotion, and as a result is rather bland for a lead role. The film also gets a bit preachy at times on the subject of revisionistic history. But these flaws can be forgiven. The remainder of the cast is superb. Kristofferson is villainy incarnate. McConaughey displays a glimpse of the reserve that made his sheriff a local legend. Sayles manages to capture the flavor and essence of Frontera, and convey it in this film. Overall, it is a well crafted work.

Benjamin Rutherford: Nyama
The fear of the unknown is what holds many back, getting out there is challenging, it's not supposed to be easy. But you will never get the experiences you dream of from your desk.
Mickey Ross: Moments and Situations
Travel has shaped who I am. I've spent most of my life chasing winters and snow. Now it's good to live in one place but still be able to travel for work and for shorter travel missions. I guess now I seek out moments and light instead of snow.
Randy P Martin: Some things I saw when I left Chicago
For me, leaving the easy things behind, getting into situations that I'm not used is where it all starts. Maybe you're not ready for it, or even intially interested in, but you go. And you figure it out along the way.
Darsh Seneviratne: From what you won't forget, to who you will remember
Being able to save up, drop everything and travel for months is a privilege I take for granted so often, I've been trying to be more aware of how lucky I am. I like to keep a balance between visiting new places and old favourites; it keeps things fresh, whilst also forging emotional ties with locations that aren't my place of birth.
Simon Deadman: Half-remembered places
Adventure means getting out of your comfort zone. Lots good things in life can only happen after you do something uncomfortable.
Travel has completely changed my life in terms of how I see photography.
Erin Hoffstetter: What is of lasting value?
To me adventure is a state of mind. You can travel half way around the world and find none and look to see what's in front of you and find the adventure of a lifetime.
Anne Moffat: Half Lives
Travel has taught me to question things and keep curious. I'm constantly reminded that I actually don't know that much; it's a very humbling experience which both keeps me in check and open to new possibilities.
Cian Oba-Smith: Affinity
Seeing how people interact differently with their environment and ultimately how adaptable the human spirit is has opened my eyes and mind to other ways of existing within cultures around the world.
William Broadhurst: Australia (2015-16)
Travel has helped me to slowly gather knowledge and an understanding of the land, as well as the shared history of those living on it.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. Obviously, you didn't buy your V20 unless you understood you would be getting performance and good looks both rolled up into one automobile. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to find trusted parts to repair your V20. Chevrolet automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their V20 around town.
For every vehicle on the road, a completely intact set of wheel lug studs is required to make sure the wheels don't leave the hubs. Your Chevrolet V20 wheel lug studs are pressed into the back of the wheel hub, and the threaded shaft pokes out past the mounting holes in your wheel. Then, the lug nuts screw onto the lug studs; fastening the wheel to your Chevrolet V20 wheel hub. If one of these were to break, you will suffer noticeable alignment issues as you drive.
Bring your V20 back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Chevrolet V20 part for your needs. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs.

Hamha, everybody!
I'm back for week two of my journey through the uber-depressing hellscape that is Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Madoka Magica for short; Madoka for shorter). Hey, did you guys know that there's a dub of this show. I won't be talking about that, because the last thing I need is to invite sub-purists (a term which is a bit of an oxymoron if you think about it) into this already bleak and macabre house.
|Remember kids: "Ad Hominem" is just a fancy way
of saying "You're right!"
Today we'll be looking at episodes 4-6. As usual I will be engaging in EXPLICIT, HARDCORE SPOILERS so if you plan on ever watching Madoka I'd recommend you do that before you read this. You'll like it. Trust me. I'll wait.
You're finally back! Thank goodness. I've been alone with my grief for the past week after that horrifying incident where
|Visual Approximation
Yeah that. Naturally I knew that it probably isn't going to be as lighthearted and cheerful as even a lesser PreCure would most certainly be. As such, I've prepared an emergency pick-me-up for my inevitable crash into despair after watching three episodes of Madoka.
|One must always have a hobby.
Adventuring aside, I'm enjoying this show and like what it has to offer in terms of character depth and storytelling even though we're a third of the way through the show and the title character hasn't even become a magical girl yet. In every magical girl show I've watched or written, the main character is the first to get her powers, and I have to admit that it's a brilliant subversion of genre conventions.
However, you have to remember this wasn't the first show to use upsetting imagery to make an impression on the viewer.
|I'm told Mermaid Melody wasn't actually a psychological horror
series, but if that were true...
|"Well, now we know where the rest of Soleil Moon Frye's
breasts went."
At the beginning of episode 4, we rejoin Sayaka as she attempts to visit her unrequited love in the hospital only to find that he's undergoing physical therapy and won't be able to see her that day.
Madoka is, naturally, still quite upset over watching her friend get brutally savaged by Eric Carle's doomspawn but is nonetheless happy to be alive. She's come to the conclusion that the life of a magical girl isn't worth the risk of losing her life and hurting others, to die alone and forgotten like Mami did, and decides that she isn't going to make the contract with Kyubey.
That little bastard, in a show of acceptance that I hadn't expected, is willling to let Sayaka and Madoka off the hook and leave them alone. Call me crazy, but I don't entirely believe him. Kyubey explains that with Mami gone, another magical girl will likely show up to take Mami's witch-hunting grounds to harvest grief seeds. See, apparently Mami is one of the VERY few magical girls who actually fight for justice. The majority of them simply hunt down grief seeds to try and keep their magical powers topped off.
It's an interesting statement on human nature, actually. I'm not the sort that subscribes to the belief that people are inherently selfish or bad, but there is some truth to the idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Given the ability to exchange a wish for infinite power, it only seems natural that most people wouldn't be capable of dealing with that power. Only through strength of character or some life-changing event could a person overcome the temptation to misuse their fantastic abilities.
|Though even the best of us can't resist the siren call
of being in terrible movies.
She meets up with Homura outside of the apartment complex, who tells her that she shouldn't blame herself for what happened. The two have a cheerful walk home as they discuss lighthearted topics like how long it will be until people realize that Mami is missing and how many people Homura has seen die over her career as a magical girl.
Before the two part ways, Homura warns Madoka that an even greater tragedy is imminent and hints that her kindhearted nature may wind up accelerating its arrival. How did that old saying go?
|"A cynic is the one who knows the price of everything
and the value of nothing. Also Homura is a Debbie Downer."
We haven't checked in with Sayaka in a while, so we join her visiting Kyousuke in the hospital. He's listening to classical music as Sayaka continues to bring him CDs to give him something to hear in the hospital. Unfortunately, it would appear that she didn't think her plan through as far ahead as she should have. See, she's employing what we romance experts call "The Harvest Moon Approach." Don't know what that is? Allow me to explain.
The approach is named after Harvest Moon for the Super Nintendo. In that game, there is a dating and relationship system wherein you can pursue and ultimately marry a girl in your town. This is accomplished primarily by showering them with gifts until they like you enough to accept your marriage proposal. Because as we all know, women are like ATMs that you deposit gifts into until they let you withdraw sex.
|And alcohol is like a sex credit card.
|Well... for the most part.
Sayaka is starting to get that look in her eyes as she tells Kyousuke that miracles and magic are both real and that he shouldn't give up hope.
|"Don't give up hope! The soulless gaze of hell itself will
surely heal your playing hand!"
Madoka is able to prevent the suicides, but is unable to escape from the witch, who captures her and begins torturing her with guilt trips and imagery of Mami's death. It's like a Catholic family reuinion. She's powerless to stop the witch as she floats helplessly on the other side. Then this happens.
oh hi nightmares. Didn't think I'd be seeing you again so soon.
As she is stretched to impossible degrees with no hope of salvation, a friendly face shows up just in the nick of time.
Yeah, that.
She's able to save Madoka with some badass swordplay. Homura does not seem amused by this turn of events. Kyousuke wakes up in the middle of the night to find that his hand is working perfectly. People seem happy and sure of themselves, which can only mean that we're about to have our hopes and dreams snuffed out like a candle in the wind.
This is Kyoko. She wanted Mami's hunting grounds. Now Sayaka has claimed Mami's hunting grounds. Kyoko isn't thrilled about this. End of episode four.
Episode five is about who cares, because all I choose to remember from this episode is MAHOU SHOUJOU REAL BOUT EX HD TURBO ARCADE EDITION VER. 2013.
|Admittedly, Sayaka vs Kyoko isn't the fight that I
REALLY wanted to see.
Hardly surprising, considering that the source of a magical girl's power is called a "soul gem". More and more I find myself really falling in love with the moral issues presented in this show. In this case, it's a question of what you're willing to give up to help another. Sayaka loves Kyousuke and blames herself for his condition. In order to "save him", she is willing to give up her soul and condemn herself to a lonely existence risking her life to save a world that doesn't even realize she exists, and she does this by having a potentially immortal spirit animal separate her soul from her body.
But the haunting beauty of the situation doesn't end there. Remember how grief seeds are used to purify soul gems after a magical girl uses her powers? Remember how they work by extracting dark energy from the user's soul gem? What does that imply about the nature of a magical girl's powers and the effect they have on an individual?
Once again, we come back to that notion of absolute power corrupting absolutely.
|Which means that a grief seed could have prevented this movie.
And no, I will not drop this issue. It was a very disappointing film!
Back to Smackdown vs. Raw: Mahou Shoujo edition. The fight is instigated after Sayaka is about to kill a familiar before it can become a witch. The familiar is saved at the last minute by Kyoko, who doesn't want it to die until it has the chance to kill more people and become a full-fledged witch. That way a grief seed can be harvested after it is killed.
Naturally, Sayaka isn't too keen on the idea. She attempts to resist Kyoko, who responds by politely smacking her up and down the corridor with her all-in-one chain-spear, her weapon of choice. It's a savage attack, but Sayaka is able to get back up and continue her fight. Kyubey explains that this is possible because her wish involved healing someone, which allows her own body to heal faster than a normal person.
So now we know that the condition of the wish can affect the nature of the girl's power. With that in mind, I'm starting to wonder what Kyoko's wish was and how it relates to her constant junk food eating.
Sayaka puts up a valiant fight, but there's no substitute for experience, and it doesn't take long for Kyoko to overpower her. Just as she's about to deliver the death blow, the show teases us again with the threat of Madoka making the contract before Homura intervenes, ending episode five.
With episode six, we're treated to further anticlimax as Homura simply karate chops Sayaka in the back of the head to knock her unconscious. After a stare-down with Kyoko, she effectively ends the fight, frustrated to know end that she has to continually warn Madoka to stay the hell away from anything that has to do with magical girls. This can mean only one thing.
Remember, the choices you make will influence what ending you receive.
Joke A:
|"A movie with 21 main characters and only an hour and a half
to tell a story! Now do you understand the pain of being a magical girl?"
Joke B:
|"Where was Homura when this magical girl-related travesty
could have been prevented?"
|"Uh oh, Madoka. Better make sure Homura doesn't find those
pictures on your laptop hidden in the 'Tax Returns 1987' folder."
Sayaka purifies her soul gem, but the grief seed she's been using can no longer hold any more impurities without re-hatching into a witch, so she feeds it to Kyubey. Oh yeah, he eats grief seeds. Because I don't have enough reasons to mistrust the little rat, he now eats the compressed essence of witches.
Kyubey explains to Sayaka that the only way she could ever stand up to Kyoko is to gather more grief seeds so that she doesn't have to worry about running out of magic. Kyoko has way more experience than she does and is technically a much more capable magical girl than she is as well. All of this is just Kyubey's way of saying "Hey, you know who could really curb-stomp Kyoko Sakura? Madoka. You should totally tell her to become a magical girl okay?"
Homura confronts Kyoko at an arcade, warning her that something called "Walpurgisnacht" will be happening soon. At this point, I can't tell if Homura is just a chronic buzz-kill or if she's just the hype-man for the end of the world. I'm picturing her as being one of those people you knew who wouldn't shut up about the Mayan calendar back in December.
In any event, it doesn't sound good. Homura also takes the opportunity to tell Kyoko not to fight with Sayaka again, assuring her that she wants to deal with Sayaka herself in the most peaceable way that she can. Kyoko promises, and since she seems like the type of person who always follows the rules and does what she's told I'm guessing we can take her at her word.
I'm kidding, she confronts Sayaka outside of Kyousuke's house and chastises her for making a wish for someone else. I'm guessing Kyoko is going to wind up being the character that all the internet cynics like the best. I'm also guessing that with the way this series has been going so far, her philosophy and approach to life will turn out to be the correct one, leaving her the only one alive in the end.
She continues to goade Sayaka into a fight, mostly by telling her how she should use her powers to completely break Kyousuke's body and mind so that he would be completely dependent on Sayaka for everything. It's a much better plan than healing him and giving him a second chance at his dream.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, middle school girls are pure, unfiltered, high-octane evil.
|"You like Kyousuke? OMG, why? You're not even hot. I mean you're kind
of cute, but your hair is just a mess and you're gonna get fat."
Kyubey is one step ahead of the game, and leads Madoka to the scene of the fight by telling her that Sayaka is in danger.
She arrives just in time to interdict before the two exchange blows, with Homura arriving shortly after to deal with Sayaka herself. The latter is clearly ready for a fight, but Madoka is so eager to prevent the fight that she grabs her soul gem out of her hands and throws it into traffic on the highway below.
Sayaka instantly collapses and is explained to be dead.
Wait what!? That's a little unceremonious. Only J.K. Rowling is allowed to use "and then she died" as a legitimate death scene.
Okay, technically she isn't dead, she's just mostly dead.
|Quota successfully filled.
It also means that Kyubey really is harvesting souls. This is apparently news to Kyoko.
After Homura uses Buz from Girl in the Gold Boots's ability to teleport in order to recover Sayaka's soul gem, which landed on the back of a truck unharmed, thankfully.
There's a close call wherein Kyoko hoists Sayaka's dead body into the air to confirm that she is, in fact dead, and the realization that she is terrifies her to the core. Kyubey doesn't understand why she would react this way to finding out that all magical girls are essentially dead but for a jewel containing their soul.
The episode ends with Homura returning with Sayaka's soul gem, and Sayaka waking up like nothing is wrong.
If you ask me, this is rapidly spiraling out of control. The only good thing that seems to come from being a magical girl is the cool powers and the granting of any wish your heart desires. Everything else, like the soul-crushing lonliness, the general husk-like state of your utility body, and the risk of death, seems like too steep a price to pay for having a really cute skirt.
HOWEVER! What I'm really concerned about, moreso that we're now six episodes in and Madoka still isn't a magical girl, is this Walpurgisnacht that Homura mentioned and how it relates to our eponymous protagonist. If I had a guess (which means that this is the part where those of you who have seen the show get to laugh at how wrong I am), I would say that Kyubey has something to do with the arrival of whatever catastrophe Homura is so concerned about. Since we now know that she may not have necessarily forged a contract with Kyubey for her powers and she seemed eager to kill him in the first episode, my gut is telling me that little bastard is trying to engulf the world in 1000 years of darkness and she's the only one with the power to directly defy him.
This leads me to my two conflicting theories:
1) Homura is at least part-witch: This is the least-likely option, but not one that I can discount completely. I joke a lot about her being a complete buzz-kill, but the implication I'm getting is that her attitude goes beyond cynicism and actually belies a rough history with magical girls that led to her abandoning an affiliation with fellow witches while still not actively allying with the magical girls. That and it would also explain how she knew enough to try and warn Mami that the witch that eventually killed her was different from other witches even though it had just hatched from a grief seed, meaning that there was no way she could have had prior contact or knowledge of it. Plus I don't recall ever having seen Homura's soul gem.
2) Magical Girls can discover their powers on their own: I change my mind. Maybe this is the least likely one. Assuming she isn't a witch, it is possible that she is a very strong magical girl. Further assuming that she didn't make a contract with Kyubey, maybe girls with a strong enough potential can develop powers on their own. Perhaps Kyubey missed his chance at stripping her of her soul on his own to bring on the 'nacht and has found another way to use Madoka to the same end.
Couple this with the fact that he seems REALLY interested in making Madoka a magical girl, to the extent that he seems to be using Mami's death and Sayaka's transformation as a means to an end of hitching Madoka to this crazy train, and it's impossible for me not to think that Madoka herself is capable of something beyond Kyubey's ordinary magical girl contract. In other words, even though I don't know for sure what would happen, I'm about 90% sure that something very bad will happen if she makes the contract. Not just for her, but for everyone.
We're halfway through this, folks, and I'm still afraid of where this ride is taking me. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to watch something less disturbing. Like the Blue Tax commercials. See you next week.

It looks nice, but it is not worth the almost two hours it takes to paint this. Considering all the imperfections the nail turned out, I think it is best to stick to my sloppy nail art or I would try a design that requires less tape.

Syria's foremost candidate for a charisma transplant, Bashar Assad, has apparently won a referendum in which he was re-elected for another seven-year term.
Shavuot, or the "Feast of Weeks", is possibly one of the least appropriately named festivals in the Jewish calendar. Rather than lasting for weeks, as its name suggests, this pilgrim festival, arriving hot on the heels of the last one, is all over within 24 (ok, 25) hours. That's it. Not weeks then, but rather one day, give or take a few minutes on either side. That is, unless you live in the Diaspora (TM), in which case, you get to have two days, because that fits in much better with non-Jewish people's impressions of what Jewish holidays are supposed to be.
So I was making use of some very well-earned time off a while back, by going into a bookstore to look for a book that had been recommended to me, and while I didn't find the book that I was looking for, I did see Richard Friedman's Who Wrote the Bible?
Much has been sung, especially off-key in karaoke bars, about horrid people having paved paradise to put up a parking lot. Which is an appropriate sentiment, one imagines, until one needs to find a spot to park one's car, at which point, one probably starts declaiming platitudes about the great march forward of progress, etcetera etcetera.
Inspired by both Lirun down in Yafo and Wicked Danu over in Dubai, I am proud to present my first frangipani flowers of the year. Woo hoo!

Archaeologists from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem appear to have discovered the tomb of King Herod. Or at least something that looks to them as though that's what it is. It was found at the site of the Herodion, Herod's winter palace, in the Judean hills, which is where Flavius Josephus claimed that it was.
I know it's been ages since I've posted (more than a month, in fact ...). What can I say in my defense? Just that I've had too much work, and not enough thinking time.

Paper No. 6
Presentation Time: 3:00 PM
From the ancestral state of the crinoid oral region (moveable ambulacral cover plates, fixed orals around the mouth, and undifferentiated peristomial cover plates in a single layer with 2-1-2 ambulacral symmetry), the crinoid oral region evolved high morphological disparity. In general, tegmen geometries varied; plates of the oral region were maintained with the mouth on the tegmen surface or the mouth became subtegmenal; and they either maintained a 2-1-2- symmetry, had a five-fold symmetry, or plating became irregular. Evolutionary outcomes for the ambulacral cover plates were either movable or fixed, differentiated or undifferentiated, and present or absent. True orals that formed the mouth frame were either all visible, only Oral 1 was visible, or all orals were covered. The peristomial cover plates were either differentiated or undifferentiated; moveable or fused; or indistinguishable from other oral region plating. Some oral regions were reduced to spiculate integuments. Each crinoid clade had independent oral region histories. However, despite the fact that each clade had characteristic tegmen morphologies in qualitative tegmen morphospace, similar morphologies evolved iteratively among different clades. Oral region size and complexity were the primary morphological constraints controlling the evolutionary history of oral region plating and geometry.

text: I have a spa seperated from my pool by a solid wall. Water does not flow over the wall into the pol. The spa water level is about two feet highter than the pool water level. Both are filtered by the same pump. My problem is getting water to circulate in the spa and keeping a constant water level. My pool service suggests that the builder should have installed an "equalizer line" from spa water level line to below pool water level line, so excess water in the spa would flow into the pool. Any experience with this?

Google Glass future clouded as some early believers lose faith
After two years of popping up at high-profile events sporting Google Glass, the gadget that transforms eyeglasses into spy-movie worthy technology, Google co-founder Sergey Brin sauntered bare-faced into a Silicon Valley red-carpet event on Sunday. He'd left his pair in the car, Brin told a reporter. The Googler, who heads up the top-secret lab which developed Glass, has hardly given up on the product -- he recently wore his pair to the beach. But Brin's timing is not propitious, coming as many developers and early Glass users are losing interest in the much-hyped, $1,500 test version of the product: a camera, processor and stamp-sized computer screen mounted to the edge of eyeglass frames. Google Inc itself has pushed back the Glass roll out to the mass market. While Glass may find some specialized, even lucrative, uses in the workplace, its prospects of becoming a consumer hit in the near future are slim, many developers say. Of 16 Glass app makers contacted by Reuters, nine said … [Read more...] about Google Glass future clouded as some early believers lose faith
Europe turns on Facebook, Google for digital tax revamp
With public coffers still strained years after the worst of the debt crisis, EU leaders have agreed to tackle the question, spurred on by French President Emmanuel Macron who has slammed the likes of Google, Facebook and Apple as the "freeloaders of the modern world". As recently as March, five of the world's top 10 valued companies were Silicon Valley behemoths: Apple, Google's Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. (Germany's SAP was Europe's biggest and 56th on the global list). But tax rules today are designed for yesterday's economy when U.S. multinationals -- such as General Motors, IBM or McDonald's-- entered countries loudly, with new factories, jobs and more taxes for the taking. These firms had what tax specialists call "permanent establishment", when companies showed a clear physical presence measured and taxed through tangible, real world assets. But today in most EU nations, the U.S. tech titans exist almost exclusively in the virtual world, their services … [Read more...] about Europe turns on Facebook, Google for digital tax revamp

One of the prayers I have been praying for myself is that God would increase the understanding of His love in me, and that I would be able to share that love with others around me. On Wednesday, God gave me the opportunity to talk to and pray with two of the 9th grade girls who had gotten themselves into some trouble. It was awesome that they were willing to share with me, and I definitely felt like God gave me the words to share with them in return, but one thing I was able to remind them of was how much God loved them, so much that He chose them to be His. And His love, and our response to that love, is what really matters.
I've also been reading through the book of 1 Corinthians, and the next night I happened to be in chapter 13, "The Love Chapter." My Spanish/English Honduras Bible is the King James Version, so I felt prompted to write this chapter down "in my own words" seeing what God would speak. Anyways, here's what I came up with:
1 Elegant words mean nothing without love.
2 Spiritual gifts mean nothing without love.
3 Generosity means nothing if it does not come from love.
4 Love is walking alongside people. Love is encouraging and builds people up. Love is content. Love serves others rather than itself, and sees itself as lowly, the worst of all sinners (1 Timothy 1:15).
5 Love is careful to act right. Love gives generously to others. Love is calm and level-headed. Love thinks pure thoughts (Philippians 4:8).
6 Love does not find joy in wrongdoing, injustice, and sin, but finds its joy in open honestly.
7 Love shares burdens (Galatians 6:2). Love always thinks the best of people. Love is positive and optimistic. Love is there for you no matter what.
8 Love is the one thing that will always remain.
9 We only have a part of the picture right now.
10 When Jesus comes, we will have the whole picture, and everything will be made complete.
11 We were all at one time immature in faith, but we are being made mature in love.
12 Now we can see only a hazy vision of God and His plan, but soon we will see clearly. We do not understand all of who God is now, but He understands all of who we are, and we will soon know Him fully.
13 To love is even greater than to have hope or faith because God is love and love comes from God (1 John 4:7-8).
And so for all of you, I pray with Paul in Ephesians 3:19: "May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."

Ethics in government should concern us all
When David Freel contends that the Mahoning Valley is different from the rest of the state, given the relatively large number of government officials caught in the political-corruption dragnet, he isn't just being another out-of-towner indulging in uninformed criticism.
Freel knows what he's talking about -- not only because of his position as executive director of the Ohio Ethics Commission, but because he's home grown. He was raised in Niles and has family in the Valley. And in his job as the state's top-ranking ethics official, he has acquired intimate knowledge of some of the major cases that have arisen out of the federal government's crackdown on political corruption and organized crime in the Valley.
For instance, he was involved in the investigation of the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District, which was the target of a special audit by the state auditor's office. Of particular interest to investigators was the behavior of two former MVSD directors, Edward A. Flask of Poland and Frank DeJute of Niles.
Freel, who the keynote speaker Wednesday night at the annual dinner of the Citizens League of Greater Youngstown, offered some advice to residents of the Valley that we hope will become a clarion call for all honest citizens who are no longer willing to sit quietly while this region's reputation is dragged through the mud.
Expectations: "The challenge is to make the difficult choices," the executive director of the Ohio Ethics Commission said. "It's up to you to create the expectations of having the highest level of ethics. The responsibility of changing the climate in a community is with its people."
But Freel also had words of encouragement: "We're beginning to see change here."
While the light at the end of the dark tunnel of corruption may be somewhat blocked by the ongoing federal criminal trial of Congressman James A. Traficant Jr. of Poland, D-17th, Freel is right when he says that people's tolerance level for political corruption is not what it used to be.
The weeding out process is continuing, and with each election, we are a step closer to the goal of ridding government at all levels of individuals who are morally bankrupt or are unqualified for the positions they hold.
But the Mahoning Valley will have won its battle against political -- government -- corruption when individuals inclined to enrich themselves and their cohorts at the public's expense are no longer comfortable doing so.
"The people of this area have to take ownership over democratic institutions by being informed and active," Freel told the Citizens League gathering.
That advice could not have come at a better time. There is an election in May and it is incumbent upon all of us to find out as much as we can about the candidates who are running. It has been said often in this space: Democracy isn't a spectator sport.

Classification of taxes
Tax is a compulsory, financial levy on the income, resources or goods of natural or legal persons. It is used to finance public expenditure.
There are several types and classes of taxation, for which the rates can vary depending on the legal form of the company.
Who is concerned
Any natural or legal persons pursuing a commercial activity in Luxembourg are liable for tax.
A tax is validly constituted when the four following elements are present:
- taxable item: this is the item on which the tax is paid (income, capital, good or service). We also refer to this as the tax base;
- taxable person: this is the person liable for tax, meaning the person who must assume the fiscal cost;
- taxable event: this is the event triggering a tax charge (e.g. the possession of wealth on a certain date, the sale of a building...);
- due date: this is the time when the taxable person must pay the tax.
How to proceed
Types of taxes
In Luxembourg, the different types of taxes and duties are:
- personal income tax for natural persons, sole proprietorships and partnerships;
- corporate income tax for capital companies, cooperative companies (société coopérative - SC), mutual insurance companies, public service institutions and other foundations, non-profit associations, private-sector collective undertakings, special purpose funds and estates in abeyance, etc.;
- communal business tax for all commercial businesses, depending on the commune in which the company is established;
- property tax relating to land ownership due from the farmer, merchant or a commercial enterprise for property used for agricultural or commercial activity;
- net wealth tax for companies subject to income tax;
- registration fees, pertaining to:
- a company's constitutional documents;
- a change to the articles of association;
- a transfer of the registered office or central administration;
- contributions;
- value-added tax (VAT), which taxes annual turnover and final consumption;
- stamp duty relating to applications for business permits;
- excise duties on consumer goods such as fuel and alcohol.
Taxes can be classified in different ways:
Direct tax
Indirect tax
Borne directly by the taxpayer: the person who pays the tax or duty is also the taxable person.
Levied periodically following submission of a tax return by the company (e.g. income tax).
Paid by a taxpayer who does not directly bear the tax expense, the tax is levied on the consumer and paid by the vendor.
Levied regularly following the occurrence of a particular event and without the need for a tax notice (e.g. VAT collected by the company from the consumer who bears the tax expense and transferred to the state by the company).
Impersonal tax
Personal tax
Taxes an economic item without considering the personal circumstances of the taxpayer (e.g. property tax, communal business tax, VAT).
Taxes an economic amount adjusted to take the personal circumstances of the taxpayer into consideration (e.g. income tax).
Distributive tax
Pro-rata tax
the rate of taxation is not known in advance but determined according to the sum to be collected by the public authorities. This sum is then shared among the various taxpayers (e.g. local taxes).
the rate of taxation is determined but the sum to be paid is not known in advance (e.g. communal business tax).
Proportional tax
Progressive tax
Is obtained using a fixed rate (e.g. VAT).
Is determined using a scale which enables the tax to be increased in line with the taxable item (e.g. income tax).
Analytic tax
Synthetic tax
This type of tax only takes one item into account (e.g. property tax).
This tax takes into account a group of items to which an overall tax is applied (e.g. income tax, net wealth tax, communal business tax).
Local (or communal) tax
National (or State) tax
Tax determined by the commune where established.
The tax is allocated to the national budget and set at identical rates nationwide.

Lemon Parmesan Risotto
2 T butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups arborio or other risotto rice
3 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 T butter, extra
sea salt and cracked black pepper
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, oil and onion and cook for 6-8 minutes or until soft and golden. Place the stock in a separate saucepan. Cover and bring to a slow simmer.
Add the rice and lemon rind to the onion mixture, stirring over medium heat for 2 minutes or until the rice is translucent (I didn't see this step...I only stirred it for a minute before adding the stock).
Add the hot stock 1 cup at a time, stirring continuously until each cup of stock is absorbed and the rice is al dente (around 25-30 minutes). To serve, stir through the parmesan, extra butter, salt and pepper. (When I added the last cup of stock, I covered the pan and turned the heat down to low. Why? Because 1. I had a bad experience last time I made risotto with the rice not getting tender enough, and 2. I needed time to cook my shrimp. It took about 5 minutes to cook...perfectly tender rice!)
Serve immediately. Serves 4.
Serve immediately. Serves 4.
I also topped the risotto with shrimp sauteed in olive oil, butter, and garlic.
This meal was SO yummy!!! I can't wait to go eat leftovers. :)

Former Attorney General Bob Butterworth has gotten the "Et tu, Brute?" from some Florida Power & Light customers since he agreed a few weeks ago to do consulting work for the utility.
?Now you?re helping FPL get a rate increase?? he said an FPL customer on a fixed-income asked him during a recent visit to a local non-profit.
Customers have posted mixed reviews on our Web site, with some saying it's a step on the right direction.
In an interview Thursday with the Sun Sentinel, Butterworth said his work for FPL is focused on helping the company improve its public image -- not on its request for a $1.27 billion base rate hike.
Butterworth, a longtime public servant who fought big tobacco and utility rate hikes as attorney general, said his first meeting with FPL President Armando Olivera was "disarming."
The first thing Olivera said, according to Butterworth, is: "We have made some mistakes."
Add Butterworth and former PSC Chairman Braulio Baez to the 18 former government officials and regulators the Sun Sentinel identified in September that were on FPL?s payroll, or whose firms were hired by FPL. (When Baez joined Akerman Senterfitt last month, he told the newspaper that he wasn't doing work for FPL at that point but the firm does.)
Butterworth said he plans to complete a report for the company within a week. Among his findings so far: the company didn't lay enough groundwork for its proposal to boost base rates.
Butterworth said he doesn't plan to state the obvious on some ethics issues that have surfaced.
?It doesn?t look right to have a PSC lobbyist show up at a Kentucky Derby party at the home of FPL executive?or for FPL to [communicate with a commissioner] during a rate hearing. That stuff has to end," he said. ?Even if you want to wish a commissioner 'Happy Birthday' -- as innocuous a it might be -- the public can?t do that.?

Concerning PC monitors at the moment i'm in the process of creating my own PC rig specifically for music and can't help noticing that many PC musicians have 2 LCD monitors in there PC studios, why is this? what is the benefit?
Concerning PC monitors at the moment i'm in the process of creating my own PC rig specifically for music and can't help noticing that many PC musicians have 2 LCD monitors in there PC studios, why is this? what is the benefit?
Music.. the many characters of how God speaks to us all
In the first monitor the sequencer or staff view, in the other the mixer or VSTi interface. No need to alt+tab or minimizing windows.
screenshot of how look two monitors desktop:
My 19" monitor to my left, by my weak eye, with instruments, editing screens for properties. My 22" in front of me with Sonar (or whatever) spread out so that I can see details clearly.
My other computers have CRT monitors, large - but too large to do side by side. With LCDs this wouldn't be a problem.
I have four monitors - three 20in and one 17in at home.
At work I have three - two 20in with a 30in in the middle.
YOu can't have enough realestate. Once you get a second monitor set up, there will be no going be back
You have been warned
Saw the author Terry Pratchett on TV the other night, he has 6 monitors and he said the only reason he didn't have 8 was because his desk was not big enough
I have 5 computers so that s just as bad
Things may come and things may go but the art school dance goes on forever
NOW WITH Cubase 5, JABB,GPO, Fender Strat, Ibanez RG, Yamaha Fretless Bass, Framus Archtop, The Trumpet and Mr T Sax, together with GREEN SEALING WAX
what does Terry Pratchett need 6 for?! Ive found having 2 an provides an amazing boost in productivity. I wish I could have more, just so i can leave more AU open. At the moment i dont have a dedicated mixer screen, which would be nice, if just so that i can see my levels jumping up and down all the time!
the more screens the better.
I mostly write music and drill for marching bands, so the two screens come in very handy. Often I will have the music on one screen and the drill on the other. Sometimes I'm working with music as PDF files for reference, so not having to flip back and forth between windows is quite helpful.
Like everybody else says, it's all about real estate. At risk of making generalizations, musicians tend to work with more than one application at a time. Extra screen space means you don't have to flip between windows or resize to the point of uselessness.

The Stranger is a sad, odd little story about a man - whose surname alone is mentioned, Meursault - so ambivalent about life that he more or less commits a murder by accident. All of his relationships are superficial, and his life just happens to him. The story opens with the death of his mother and he can't even really relate to that tragic event, describing it in a very clinical, detached manner while even her short-term friends from her retirement home are devastated by her death. The book follows a short period of his everyday life, just long enough to show us how disconnected from his life he is; he can identify intense human feeling in others that he observes, but it remains elusive for him personally. The story would be sad enough if left here, but once he makes a "friend" in his apartment building, the man winds up shooting a man on the beach and being arrested for the crime. Even throughout the trial and his eventual imprisonment, his understanding of real life remains distant though he does begin to view it somewhat differently than when he was a free man.
In The Death of Ivan Ilych, we are presented with another empty life. Ivan Ilych has spent his life creating the illusion of the "perfect life," constructing a perfect family and coworkers and home without ever feeling anything about them. The lack of emotional connection is shared between Ivan and his friends and family; when Ivan is about to die and later at his funeral, all his wife and coworkers can talk about is money and Ivan in the abstract. The McMansions up on Winter Hill always strike me as a horrid echo of Ivan's perfect construct; they may by definition look like the stately homes that inspired the modern American Dream, but when plunked down amidst dozens of tiny plots squished together, each sporting its own carbon copy, what was so appealing about the type of home these mansions were inspired by completely disappears. The same is true for Ilych's life. It looks good, and he appears to be living the good life, but the moment the illusion is tested, it breaks down irreparably. It is not until just before his death that he understands what is truly important in life, through the lens of his young son.
In Ivan Ilych, Ivan believes for most of his life that simply going through the motions is enough...in The Stranger, Meursault doesn't even try to accomplish that much - he just floats along on the surface of his own life, unaffected even by such Big Life Moments like getting engaged or burying his mother. Both books show us ways not to live our lives, though it is only in Ivan Ilych that we see true reconciliation develop.
There's a lot of bad stuff in the world, and while I think Ivan and Meursault may have chosen their tactics of avoidance subconciously, a lot of people do so today because they are afraid that the bad stuff is going to hurt them. A million quotes are out there in the ether about nothing being really good or joyous without something sad or traumatic to compare them with, so I won't try to include them all, but the fact of the matter is...yeah, there's bad stuff out there and sometimes it's going to feel incredibly, horribly crappy. A friend of mine once just absolutely adored this one woman and was rebuffed by her a couple times. Needless to say, I wanted to get out my stabbin' knife, but what really killed me was that my friend felt that he needed anxiety medication to cope with the severely hurty situation that is unrequited love. Maybe he did - I'm not a psychiatrist - but I couldn't help but feel that what he actually needed was ice cream and a couple really good, ugly crying jags followed by a long run and some time out with friends. Not being loved back is horrible. It's painful and horrendous and makes you want to just lay in bed and die. But that's what it is; it's supposed to hurt. Here's the thing...my friend eventually got together with this woman and now they're totally euphorically happy. Would they be so happy if not for the pain of that rocky start? Maybe, maybe not. But it would be tough to even consider the acme of that happiness if there wasn't a bottom of sadness to compare it to.
There are a lot of people who I think shut out a lot of "real life" simply because they feel like if they care about one thing, they have to care about everything. I used to encourage people to just pick one thing and if more followed, to deal with it when it came about. I've since changed my tune. You do need to try and expand your worldview and to see what's out there. You won't like everything - I, for example, hate the Atlanta airport - but if you poke around and see what's out there, you might miss the great loves of your life. You should try and care about what's around you. It might hurt, it might feel bad, it might just be "eh," but it could also be something you can't live without, something you were missing all along to this point without even knowing it. You have to actively engage with your life and its environment. Meursault and Ilych both avoided reality in different ways - Meursault by simply laying back and allowing life to carry him along, and Ilych by constructing a great trompe l'oeil painting of a life - but in the end the message is the same...faking it, or ignoring it, will forever keep you from the greatest heights of the human experience. And what is a life without moments of true joy, no matter how small and inconsequential?

Dry Eye Syndrome is a disorder in which your eyes do not produce enough tears to keep them moisturized. Tears play an essential role in providing a smooth surface to maintain optimal optical clarity. They also contain natural factors that protect your eyes from infections.
Along with eyelids, tears help wash away debris. Without tears, the eyelids could not wash away this debris. This would be akin to trying to clear your windshield on your car with your wiper blades alone –with no washer fluid. You surely need both for optimal clarity.
The tear film is made up 3 layers. If there is a deficiency in any layer, the tear film becomes destablized and can no longer provide these services like it should.
Dry eyes should not be written off as just a nuisance. If left untreated, Dry Eye Syndrome may lead to corneal scarring and vision loss.
Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome include:
- A stinging, burning or scratchy sensation in your eyes
- Stringy mucus in or around your eyes
- Increased eye irritation from smoke or wind
- Eye fatigue
- Sensitivity to light
- Eye redness
- A sensation of having something in your eyes
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
- Periods of excessive tearing
Blurred vision, often worsening at the end of the day or after focusing for a prolonged period
Receiving prompt, ongoing care for your Dry Eye Syndrome can prevent and/or minimize long term effects, such as scarring of the eye tissues and a decrease in your quality of life.
Dr. Saeed has extensive experience in treating Dry Eye Syndrome. In addition to planning a treatment regimen for his patients, Dr. Saeed is skilled at fitting patients with punctual plugs. These devices act in away to allow the eye to save as much of its precious tears as possible.

U da man Claude … keep doin that voodoo that u do!
Dear Claude, - I really like your both sites! Your girls are beautiful! I'm a very satisfied member ;-)
...as your site is not a good site, or a great or even an exceptional site, there is non peril. It's like a Faberge egg: beautiful, magnificent, exquisite, a labor of love and excellence. I have never come across a site which celebrates and respects and exalts women's sexuality (un-affected and unrehearsed but sincere and spontaneous) and at the same time so absolutely and unabashed erotic.
Awesome sites with some of the most beautiful and sexy women I have ever seen. Keep it up!
Dear Claude I love the photos and videos on your sites and just want to say excellent and splendid job.
Claude - Your pictures are the best on the internet!

Patient: I was recently prescribed Citalopram 3 days ago. I started taking it that day and while i was picking up my prescription, I also bought some vitamins for hair growth and feminine health. So on that day I took my first dose of Citalopram, 5000mcg of Biotin, 1 prenatal vitamin, 1000iu of Vitamin D and 2 capsules of Acidophilus. Later on (after being told that Cetalopram has no side effects) I started feel incredibly dizzy. I felt like my head weigh 500 pounds. It was like I had took 2 vicodin. The next morning, I was hesitant on taking my Citalopram because I didn't know if that was what was making me feel that way. I ended up taking it by itself without taking my vitamins. I felt fine. So I'm curious on why I was feeling that way. Is it because of all the vitamins? I took the group of vitamins later on in the day yesterday and I felt that way again but just not as intense as the first time. I just want to make sure all of this is safe. Thank You!!
Doctor: Citaprolam is a SSRI medication and one of its common side effects is drowsiness which you are experiencing.As far as we know it would not interact with vitamins however if the vitamins contain some amount of typtophan or other herbal products then there may be some interaction.Since the symptoms did repeat but to a lesser extent the day after i advice you to continue taking the medication for some time as your body will get acustomed to it.However if the symptoms worsen i advice you to stop the vitamins and consult a physician in person for a possible change of medication.Moreover i also notice that you are taking a prenatal vitamin. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant please consult your family physician while on citalopram as it may need to be stopped.

GameZone's James Pikover played Sonic's latest console entry, Sonic Colors for the Wii at E3 2010. With the more kid-friendly art direction, the use of colored Wisps to enhance Sonic's abilities, and varied 3D and 2D levels, will Sega give hope back to it's loyal fan base?
I've lost a lot of faith in the Sonic franchise. Surely Sonic 4 will be better than this.
Both the Wii and DS versions of this game absolutely wowed me at E3. They were both so much fun. And regarding the Wii version, THAT is how Sonic should play in a 3D game.

Little Green Army Men Live to Fight Another Day {Made in USA Review & Giveaway}
Little Green Army Men… when is the last time you saw them? Not counting the Toy Story movies. They were manufactured in the USA for decades until the company that made them finally, sadly, shut down. Today we have great news! The original molds for these and other classic plastic toys were purchased and the figures have just recently been reissued. Even better news, they are still American made. The Review Nostalgia and toys go together like peanut butter and jelly. There is nothing parents, aunt & uncles, and grandparents love more than to share a beloved toy with a child. Little green army men were so common and so durable, there may still be a bag of them stashed in a drawer at grandma's house. But if you are looking for an inexpensive thrill, buy a bag, give a fist pump for the Made in USA flag, and prepare to get down on the carpet or dig in the dirt with a kid. That's how I envisioned it, at least. But once the army guys were on their way, I wondered how my resident 8 year old reviewer would react. This kid has a house full of intricate (and exorbitant) Lego sets. Would he know what to do with simple molded plastic men? "Mom! What are those??" "Army guys… and space guys.

Groups split on park name change
Published 6:03 pm, Thursday, April 24, 2014
Since the alumni for Booker T. Washington High School asked the city to change the name of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park to Booker T. Washington, another group has come together to keep the name.
Patrick Stuart, founder and director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center off South Sixth Street in Conroe, said taking King's name off of the park for someone else's "is like a slap in the face."
"If anything, put his name on more things," Stuart said. "Don't take his name off."
Stuart gathered more than 100 names on a petition to keep King's name on the park and said that he plans on talking to the city council soon.
BTW Alumni President Faye Jones spoke to city council members April 10 and requested the city change the name of the park, located at 813 South First Street, to Booker T. Washington Park, because it is the location of the first Washington school.
Stuart said he's been inspired by King his whole life, since he was about 11-years-old.
After Stuart moved to Conroe in 1982, he realized there wasn't a voice in his community to speak up for the residents, he said.
In the mid-1980s, he founded the Martin L. King, Jr. Center, a center that serves lunch every day and has a church service on Sunday mornings, he said.
"Our aim is to help the people that no one else wants," Stuart said.
According to the city, the park is leased from the Conroe Independent School District.
In 2011, the park underwent major renovations. The baseball fields, concession building and playground were razed to make room for a lighted multi-use field with spectator seating, a concession/pavilion/restroom building for group functions, a shaded play structure, a basketball court, picnic areas and a walking path.
Stuart is passionate about for keeping the name of the park the same.
"There's no comparison. You can't compare Booker T. Washington to Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did more for this race than Booker T. Washington," Stuart said. "King inspired me to do what I thought was right."
In a previous Courier article, Jones said there is a marker at the park identifying the park as the site of the original school.
"Preserving our history is very important to us and we thank the city for placing the marker for our school there," said Jones at the city council meeting earlier this month.
The school was formally founded in 1918, with classes held in several locations.
The school moved to its permanent 20-acre site, 507 Dr. MLK Jr. Place North, in 1946. The school became a junior high in 1971 and continues to serve in the same capacity.
City Manager Paul Virgadamo said the Parks and Recreation Board would discuss the potential change and send a recommendation to the city council. He said the council would ultimately have the final decision.
The city has a second park named in honor of King.
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park, 1001 Dr. MLK Jr. Place, spans 25 acres and includes restroom facilities, a pavilion, a hard surface-walking trail, and is also complete with ADA compliant playground.

So Logan loves to get up and go help Daddy feed the calves in the mornings. Daddy get him all bundled up and they head out the door. The first time Logan went, he came in with the biggest smile on his face and told me "I feed cows with daddy." He was very proud and you could tell. So he went out quite a few days and I decided that Ashlee and I would get all bundled up too, so that we could go check out all the excitement that comes with feeding calves with Daddy.
|Cute Ashlee
|All Ready to Go!
|She just loves being outside.
|He is supervising!
|While Daddy does the hard stuff!

The little things
1 comment:
I am a single mother to three boys. My oldest two spent more time with family members and the sitter than me. I felt the same way but now that they are 13 and 14, they know why I had to do it.ReplyDelete
My 3 year old is Carson, he is my youngest son. He was by far the hardest pregnancy and also has the most medical issues. Carson has failure to thrive, severe asthma, severe acid reflux, and aspirates when he eats and drinks. I have missed a lot of work because we are always at appts or in the hospital, or just home in isolation. Carson is currently on home O2 and has a feeding tube.
We were tested about a year ago for CF and it did come back negative. Even though my son doesn't have CF, I can relate to having a special needs child.
So with all that said, welcome to the bloggy world. Your son is such a cutie. I will put you on my follow list if you don't mind.
God bless and have a great Christmas.
