What the girl over there says:
"I told my roommate nutella will make her fat. Most of the meals I eat are under 200 calories."
"I am super insecure about my weight, am somewhat hoping you will answer back with some comment on how I look good or something along those lines, and possibly am somewhat jealous of my roommate."
This seems to be pretty consistent amongst girls- most times if we are saying something derogatory about another girl, it is related to something we are insecure about. We comment on how hoochie that girl looks in her bikini, while really wishing we were secure enough to wear one or had the "bikini bod". We don't like to come out and just say what is on our mind, but we do end up doing it in a roundabout way.
Girls (though not only girls) are often under a lot of self-made pressure. We see stars like Megan Fox, or Angelina, and naturally assume that every guy wants us to look just like them or we don't have a chance. So we do dumb things- we bake in tanning beds, we buy shorter shorts, we dye our hair- some of us basically try to look like the Playboy Bunnies because we think that is the kind of girl that every guy is looking for. I am not saying that we never think we are good enough for someone, but we do get a little high strung in the looks department from time to time. Not every boy is looking for a centerfold, but there are just times where we have a hard time believing that. We go through crazy workouts and treatments to get that illusive bikini body that we always see or we try to alter something on us thinking that it is what will make all the difference.
Some girls (you know some like this I'd bet) do this so much that they completely ignore their individuality and personality. We have idolized images like the classic blonde valley girl, without every really finding out if the opposite sex is truly attracted to that. For instance, I was walking by a group of guys today and one of them mentioned how this girl said "like" every other word and it was driving him insane. So while these girls were all trying to pull the ditzy "like" valley "like" girl "and whatever", the boys were wanting a normal girl.
What we sometimes fail to realize is that the boys don't always want to bring home a centerfold to their momma. Now they may still want to get with them, but that's not pertinent to this blog.
You know those bombshell girls who date those loser dudes? Ever wonder what in the heck is going on with that? I propose that there are a couple different possibilities:
- That boy is incredibly sweet, very attentive, and looks at her like nothing else in the world exists when she walks in the room. I find this to be somewhat rare, as I dated guys who were arguably below what I should have been looking for (mainly hugely lacking in personality and any romantic ability including having the guts to kiss me first). But there really are occasions where guys will manage to get in good with a gorgeous girl and they really go the extra mile for her. If you can deliver the look that says "You are everything to me" instead of "Get in to bed with me", you can do pretty well (although we like the latter look now and then, for the record).
- She thinks she can't do better. Sometimes, for whatever reason, we really undershoot what we deserve (guilty) and tell ourselves that whatever jerk/loser we are with is as good as we can do (recovering from being guilty, haha). We let people treat us bad, ignore us (very guilty), things like that, because we get in this mindset. I'm not always sure how this comes about, sometimes we are insecure after previous breakups I believe, maybe something happened in our life, or someone may have said something to us that really dug in deep. It can take a good while to come out of this mentality and go for a guy who isn't a loser. Not to mention we hate admitting that they were a loser and we were wrong in the first place. And every now and then we just do it because we are afraid of ending up alone forever.
- One of them is a complete jerk. Maybe she is, and he is so happy to be with a girl that looks like that that he would put up with it to the ends of the earth. Or maybe he is and just like the second scenario she thinks she deserves it. Or, maybe he has the cash and support to back it up. I am not saying that every pretty girl is shallow and is all about money, but it happens now and then. Some girls are really weird, and just seem to like jerks. I personally can't explain the money or the liking complete tools one, as I don't understand it.
Another thing that is very common to many girls: At almost all times during the day we are sizing someone up and comparing ourselves to them.
This can take a variety of forms depending on our mood, but we are either looking at a girl running in her sports bra thinking about how we need to work out more, or we are looking at that girl and really not liking her at the moment because she looks really good and fit in that stupid sports bra. We can think we are fat or not good looking enough just because we see those Victoria's Secret models and don't quite compare. Sometimes, we just can't help seeing all the girls on TV or the ones in the magazines and wondering if that is what we are supposed to be looking like.
On the other hand, if we are the girl being stared at, we automatically assume that something is wrong with how we look (oh dear God are my jeans unzipped?!?!) or basically trying to figure out what is making someone stare. Some of us will divert to the nearest mirror or window just to make sure that we don't have something on our face, no wardrobe malfunctions, etc. The more people staring, the more strange we feel.
(You know the song "She Don't Know She's Beautiful"...that applies to so many of us.)
I think most of this goes for single girls. Society sometimes makes us feel like we HAVE to have a guy at all times or we are somehow a failure, so girls with boyfriends probably aren't so insecure. But I have seen some of the prettiest girls question whether or not they are homely or ugly after long periods of not having a guy. It is really somewhat scary how much society can get under our skins. We feel like there is so much at stake when it comes to finding someone, or that we are going to blow it somehow.
I don't think guys are exempt from this either. Society teaches them that they all need to have ripped muscles and 6packs and super hot girlfriends.
Here are things that I think are excellent ways to get in good with a female in the current day:
- Become her friend. This is risky, it can land you in the friend zone but if it does you weren't gonna have a chance with her anyway. I speak from experience when I say that my relationships happened because I was comfortable with someone. Almost all my relationships were with someone that I considered to be my best friend at the time. All of them were with friends. I may not be the average case, but when I am used to hanging out with someone and they have been there to see my highs and my lows already, I am much more secure about dating and handing over my emotional ties to that person then I would be with a random guy. You develop so many memories and bonds, and you really know how you and that person work on a personal level.
- Get creative. You want to meet females? Go play on their turf. Yoga class, zumba, if you are secure enough with your man card, find a friend who can be your wing girl and GO. Or fly solo, which I think is more high risk- high reward. I might at first question whether a guy in a yoga class was straight, but let's say he is in there to train for football or MMA or something like that, and I am going to be really interested. AND I will be even more interested because I am in a class with mostly females and therefore the stakes are high that I need to get to you first. Plus, you have little to no competition in there, which helps your case in all circumstances. I also wouldn't go with a wing man really, because that I think puts you at a higher risk of seeming anything but straight.
- Don't let the first thing you say to her be a pickup line. That is old. Try some interesting small talk instead. This is probably obvious...but still. I would personally rather hear someone say "This weather is awesome, I've been going insane couped up at work" or something like that instead of some cheesy line or comment about how hot I look. I'd look for the nearest exit after the "hott" line, but I would get in to a conversation about this amazing sunshine and how it makes me want to go to a park or something. (In which case you could mention walking your dog at the park yesterday, and I would be sold)....(although you may have to borrow someone's dog).
- In fact, don't call a girl hot before you call her beautiful. It just sounds like you want in her pants. Which maybe you do. But many of us are suckers for the words "beautiful" and "gorgeous". Hot registers deep in our brains as cheap. And we don't want to feel cheap.
Basically, the inner workings of the female mind are constantly telling us to be more impressive, do things that make us stand out, to hide our flaws, and to look "perfect" (or whatever we believe that is, which tends to be counterproductive to standing out {sea of orange and platinum blonde}). Then someone comes along, tells us we are absolutely perfect just the way we are, and next thing you know we are giggling like a third grade girl and texting our best female friend about it (who, if single, is hating us at that exact moment, which you knew if you learned anything from this blog). When we feel like we are pretty high on the boy's most important things list, we thrive.
So there you go boys. Stop acting like jerks, stop acting like you are too hott in your plaid shirts and Bieber hair, and start doing what works for the long term.
No really. Enough with the Bieber hair. Pin It Now!

HTML slicing can be accomplished by a professional service.
Basically, PSD slicing to HTML is a section taken from a Photo Shop document that has been converted into the hypertext markup language that browsers are capable of interpreting. This conversion sequence helps to make it easier for people to develop web pages, especially when it comes to completing very difficult layouts. Doing this kind of work graphically is often easier than doing it in a hand-coded environment.
Slicing for Power Users
That being said PSD slicing to HTML will still produce code, so it's pretty useful to have at least a working knowledge of it before getting too deeply involved. Anyone who wants to do some HTML slicing of his or her own will have to understand how the code works. For instance, imagine that there is a slice that will ultimately become a GIF. This might need to be placed into some kind of structure on a web page.
Setting up a table might be a good way to put this HTML slice into a layout. For example:

This would help to build up a sort of table around it. This could go on for quite some time, especially considering those types of situations where a particularly large amount of content is concerned. If textual content were added later, it would probably have to be inserted with the usual HTML commands to do that sort of thing. This can actually be helpful in some situations. If there were already a great deal of marked up text from a different project it could be merged in. Some tools exist to do this automatically, but it isn't hard to do so by hand anyway.
Hiring a Slicer
Services exist to help users with problems that can be corrected by slicing HTML, and contacting said experts might help to save a substantial amount of time. By getting in touch with these experts people can solve a plethora of problems. That's because they have technical experience that normal computer users might otherwise lack.

Social Security Disability Overview
Have you been denied Social Security?
Chambers Law Firm can help. FILE YOUR DISABILITY APPEAL TODAY.
CALL 912-228-5010 Savannah * 912-490-4369 Waycross * 912-265-2323 Brunswick
The Social Security Administration (SSA) denies approximately 70% of all initial disability claims & approximately 90% of all reconsideration claims (the second level of appeal in the SSDI & SSI application process). Often after people are denied benefits, they become frustrated and give up. Don't give up! It is important to contact an attorney quickly to protect your rights, because you only have a limited amount of time to appeal Social Security's decision.
What is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?
The Social Security Disability program was established by the United States Government to provide basic financial resources to those who become disabled. A certain amount of money is taken out of your pay check every week (your FICA taxes) to pay for your Social Security Retirement. If you become disabled and have worked in recent years, you may qualify to receive SSDI benefits even before you reach the age to receive Social Security Retirement benefits.
What is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
Supplemental Security Income benefits may be paid to individuals who are disabled but have not worked long enough to be eligible to receive SSDI benefits. SSI is designed to help aged, blind and disabled people who have little or no income by providing monthly benefits to help meet basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.
What does it mean to be disabled?
A "disability" is a physical or emotional condition, or some combination of both, that is severe enough to prevent a person from working for at least 12 consecutive months.
It does not matter how you become "disabled" for SSDI or SSI benefits to be awarded. Whether you are injured on the job and are receiving Workers' Compensation benefits or injured in an accident or disabled due to natural causes, SSA only takes into consideration whether your condition is severe enough to prevent you from working. In certain cases it is possible to draw Workers' Compensation benefits and Social Security Disability benefits at the same time.
Are you eligible to receive Social Security Disability Benefits?
If you have a physical and/or emotional impairment that prevents you from being able to work, then you might be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. The process for determining disability is confusing and complicated. Disability is determined on a case by case basis.
Social Security Administration will take factors, such as listed below, into consideration when determining your eligibility:
- Age
- Education
- Work History
- Medical Condition
- Limitations
Attorney Mari Chambers is dedicated to preserving the rights and dignity of the disabled.
Chambers Law Firm handles ALL types of Social Security Disability cases:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Disabled Widow's Benefits
- Disabled Adult Child Benefits
- Survivor's Benefits
- Appeals to the Appeals Council
- Appeals to Federal Court
Whether you have been denied benefits or you think that you might have a Social Security Disability case, call the Chambers Law Firm. Mari Chambers helps her clients through this confusing and complicated process, thereby increasing their chances of success in obtaining disability benefits. No fee will be paid by you unless you win your case. In most cases you will not pay a fee at all, unless you receive past due benefits in addition to your future and ongoing monthly benefits.

Alcohol Abuse
People drink to socialize, celebrate, and relax. Alcohol often has a strong effect on people – and throughout history, we've struggled to understand and manage alcohol's power. Alcohol can be an addictive substance. Not everyone who consumes alcohol will become addicted. However, certain people may be more susceptible to addiction.
Alcohol's effects vary from person to person, depending on a variety of factors, including:
- How much you drink
- How often you drink
- Your age
- Your health status
- Your family history
While drinking alcohol is itself not necessarily a problem – drinking too much can cause a range of consequences, and increase your risk for a variety of problems.
How do I know if I am abusing alcohol?
Individuals who suffer from alcohol abuse do not always exhibit the same symptoms. The type of symptoms experienced by an individual will depend on a number of factors, such as the individual's background and medical history. While alcohol abuse symptoms do vary, there are signs and symptoms that can indicate a problem.
- Decreased involvement in extracurricular activities
- Loss of interest in work or school
- Depression
- Lack of interest in family or friends
- Preoccupation with drinking
- Restlessness
- Inability to control drinking
- Erratic behavior
- Violent behavior
I believe that I have a problem, what happens next?
Addiction Telemed is here to help. Treatment typically has three stages:
- Detoxification (detox): This may be needed immediately after discontinuing alcohol use and can be a medical emergency, as detox can result in withdrawal seizures, hallucinations, delirium tremens (DT), and in some cases may result in death.
- Rehabilitation: This involves counseling and medications to give the recovering alcoholic the skills needed for maintaining sobriety. This step in treatment can be done inpatient or outpatient. Both are equally effective.
- Maintenance of sobriety: This step's success requires an alcoholic to be self-driven. The key to maintenance is support… we will be with you every step of the way.
Addiction Telemed provides effective and affordable outpatient treatment for recovery. We use state-of-the-art telemedicine software that connects you and your medical provider via webcam so you can be in the privacy of your home or office… as long as you have smartphone, iPad, or computer with camera and internet service, we can help!
Contact us today to take the first step toward recovery and discover your life beyond addiction!


text: Hi all. A question of you. A cousin of a friend of mine told my friend that her vet said not to give her pygmy goats (especially the fixed male) grain as it can cause crystals to form in the goat's urine. He also said that fixed males will only live about 3 years. What are your thoughts about this information?

Google Chrome: Full On Support From Auslogics
Auslogics BoostSpeed May Be the First To Experience the Full Google Chrome Support
Sep. 4, 2008 01:00 PM
Auslogics says it will fully support the new web browser Google Chrome poised to become a powerful Internet Explorer rival.
The users of Auslogics BoostSpeed may be the first to experience the full Google Chrome support. This computer performance optimization software will protect the privacy of Google Chrome users, as well as optimize the new browser speed, all by the end of September 2008.
According to Google, the new browser can add value for users while driving innovation on the web. However many believe that this is the company's next step towards dominating the Internet and that it will place Google directly against Microsoft.
Auslogics believes that web applications have long outgrown browser technology which has stood still for quite a few years. The company says that it will provide full browser support and help make Google Chrome run as fast as possible.
The current version of Auslogics BoostSpeed can remove history and other personal data from Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers and optimize their settings for maximum performance.
The program can modify various network settings, for example the number of simultaneous web browser connections to the Internet, so that the one-size-fit-all settings of the web browser and Windows operating system are instead optimized for the specific hardware and Internet connection. The new version coming out in September, 2008, will include support for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 8, and Safari for Windows, another web browser with the growing number of users.
Auslogics offers a free, fully functional 15-day trial version. A Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/XP/NT platform is required, 32-bit and 64-bit processors are supported.
For more information on Auslogics contact Liz Vasileva, email@example.com at Auslogics.

Since I've not been reviewing every book that I read, I thought I'd start the year with a one-post-ten-books overview. I've got a classic, some books on prayer, several Caribbean reads, some history, fiction and nonfiction. Off to a bang-up start. Could be something here for everyone – I'm optimistic!
I finished Salt Houses by Hala Alyan at the beginning of the year. It is a multi-generational novel about a family navigating the warring landscape of the Middle East. The emphasis is more on the family dynamic than on the conflicts. It was an okay read but didn't pull me in as much as I had hoped. I'm having trouble reading novels with split point-of-views. I've only read one so far that seems to do it effectively (Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi).
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster was a read-aloud for my daughter and I. My brother gave her the book for Christmas, and we both delighted in the word play and storyline. I have a feeling this is one we'll revisit in a few years for even greater appreciation. The book has fantastic potential for growing with the language development of a child.
Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson was the "A" on my ABC list through my TBR pile. And if that doesn't sound like alphabet soup, I'm not sure what does. I enjoyed it, and have yet to read a book by Woodson that I do not appreciate on some level, but wouldn't put it up near my favorites. Still, a good read and a great start to my ABC goal.
Then I took on three reads of Caribbean origin. This aligns with my Reading Bingo challenge, but I wasn't intending to start off so quickly! Three very different books in three different locations and yielding three different responses. Interesting to say the least. Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat was complex and elegant. Set partially in Haiti and partially in the United States, it is a story of women and their demons and resolution.
Secrets We Kept: Three Women of Trinidad by Krystal A. Sital was given to me as an advanced copy in exchange for review consideration. The constant use of patois slowed the story considerably and was often distracting, but the underlying premise was strong enough to fuel the story from beginning to end. When an elderly woman stares at the fallen form of her spouse and pauses to call her eldest daughter first before calling emergency services, the granddaughter begins searching for the answer to "Why did she hesitate?" What unfolds is a tragic and haunting revealing of hidden truths and kept secrets.
Finally, Slave Old Man by Patrick Chamoiseau was another advance copy in exchange for review consideration. Slave Old Man tells of a slave in Martinique who one day, without explanation or any sort of warning, runs away. In pursuit is the master's terrifying mastiff. The man's struggle through the topography makes up the heart of this book, and it is compelling. When reality and dreams blur towards the end I found my attention waning, but the first two-thirds are captivating and the writing-style, though complex, is worth engaging and appreciating.
Finally, four books of non-fiction round out this list of ten. How To Teach Your Children Shakespeareby Ken Ludwig was excellent. I posted a full review here.
The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of American Empireby Stephen Kinder was an impulse read. I had no idea what it was about, but the pairing of Theodore Roosevelt and Mark Twain in the title seemed destined to make for interesting history. Turns out, the book is about the U.S. struggle to be expansionist or not. Including Mark Twain in the title was a bit of a stretch since his involvement is only mentioned near the end. Nevertheless, the history itself is intriguing and Kinder presented the dynamics of the debate in fast-paced narrative. Good historical reading on a subject I would not have naturally considered though I did feel sheepish for being suckered in by the title alone.
Last but not least, two books on prayer. I'm pulling together a class to teach at church and wanted to get a few perspectives. Prayer by Tim Keller takes a big-picture view of prayer, putting it in historical and religious context before focusing on the Christian practice. Praying the Lord's Prayer for Spiritual Breakthrough by Elmer Towns was useful for class preparation and as a line-by-line examination of the Lord's Prayer. It has sections at the end of each chapter to reflect and engage more with the Bible that would be useful for someone wanting to use it as a workbook of sorts as well. The translations are not the most modern so if you're interested in the book but are unfamiliar with King James English, consider having a more recent translation nearby.
There you have it! The first ten books that I've read in 2018. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to include Middle Grade reads in my count. I included The Phantom Tollbooth because the length and content were "grown-up" enough for me to justify it. I'm not sure how I would articulate any formal standards though. The important thing is that I'm still reading. Onward!
What books have you read so far? Any favorites yet?

Olivia de Havilland, 101, is the last one alive from "Gone with the Wind" – you'll never believe what she looks like today
There are many classic films out there that still warm my heart today. But nothing comes close to Gone with the Wind. Even though it's a long film, I've seen it countless times… and will no doubt see it many more times!
Out of this powerful cast of great actors and actresses there is only one who's still alive, Olivia de Havilland. Today she is 101 years old … and she looks amazing!
Olivia de Havilland is one of very few surviving actresses from Hollywood's so-called "golden age". She is also the only one from the Gone with the Wind cast who's still alive.
At the age of 101, she looks incredible.
Olivia was born in Tokyo, Japan, as her father, a British diplomat, was working there at the time. In 1919 the family moved to California – and Olivia's mom, who had been an actress before she got married, gave Olivia and her sisters acting, music and dance lessons.
It was there that Olivia's passion for acting was born, something that would lead to her starring in 49 movies during her successful career. One of them was the timeless classic Gone with the Wind.
During her career, Olivia had a long-standing rivalry with her sister, Joan Fontaine.
They had a terrible relationship, and it turned even worse in 1941 when the sisters went head-to-head for the Oscar for best actress. The award was given to Joan, for her role in Suspicion.
Olivia was recently honored with the title "Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire" by Queen Elizabeth II.
Today she lives in France – and is just as beautiful as she's always been!
Olivia de Havilland has had an incredible life, and now she can say she's had a very long life too. It must be a luxury to reach 101 years of age and still be so beautiful, knowing that you're a big part of film history. I'd be happy to have had that kind of film career!
SHARE this to prove that age is just a number!

I have some ideas for the PP with some older pictures of the kids baking with my mom and some of my grandmother at the cottage, but I am trying got work with the DOZENS of pictures I have from NYC. So I figured out what pictures I wanted to use and the Green CS was a beautiful match. Then I remembered a layout I did a while back with a bunch of squares of PP, and I started cutting. I laid out the pictures first and after inking all the squares I started placing them around the pictures. Since all my pictures were scenery and the CS was green it was pretty mono chromatic, so I added the squares as my hint of colour. That is this week's challenge, do a mainly monochromatic layout with a hint of colour.

Remember how I made my own chicken stock last week? I experimented with freezing some of it in ice cube trays, with the intention that I would then put the frozen stock cubes into freezer bags and be able to measure them out easily whenever I was cooking. The problem was that I had forgotten to buy large freezer bags and had just left the trays of frozen chicken broth cubes in my fridge freezer, on top of the tray of regular ice cubes.
So, on Saturday afternoon Ariann and Derek were over here visiting with Karl and the wee Andrew while I was supervising a final. They brought along snacks, and while Chris was picking me up from the university, Derek poured himself a glass of Coke. He looked in our freezer for ice cubes, and instead of using the regular ones, decided to help himself to a couple of the yellow ice cubes in the top tray. He assumed that I was being fancy and had made lemon juice cubes for drinks. (I am not that fancy.)
Well, at least Derek only got a glass full of Chicken Coke, and it wasn't any of Chris's weird science experiment stuff that also sometimes ends up in our freezer.

Eye Surgical treatment
Eye Surgical procedure has actually ended up being a mainstream technique of vision correction, and also this write-up will certainly discuss the advantages and negative aspects of 3 different methods being used to the clinical customer.
Lasik Eye Surgical procedure
LASIK is the phrase for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and also is an eye surgical system which completely corrects vision by getting rid of a slim layer of the cornea. This procedure functions best on patients with moderate to high levels of myopia (nearsightedness), reduced to moderate degrees of hyperopia (farsightedness) and also astigmatism connected with nearsightedness, as well as that have thick corneas. It is one of the most widely known medical vision modification technique.
Individuals with typical eye sight see items clearly due to the fact that pictures are brought right into a right focal point by the cornea and also lens of the eye. Ideally, the cornea's curvature is evenly matched to its length in a typical eye. Individuals with astigmatism, nearsightedness or hyperopia have off-and-on shaped corneas, so the items seen are not concentrated properly. LASIK modifications corneal form by specific elimination of corneal tissue, and also by doing so fixes the eyes' concentrating power.
There are, however, dangers to LASIK eye surgery.
There is a remote possibility of total loss of vision. If this happens, it is generally because the individual had a pre-existing condition which must have averted the surgical treatment to begin with, such as pregnancy, cataracts, joint inflammation, diabetic issues, glaucoma, or lupus. Individuals with big pupils are also bad prospects for LASIK. Dry eye disorder will be worsened by this treatment.
A couple of clients complain that they completely see "ghost" images, have obscured vision, decreased contrast and also poor evening vision. When LASIK wased initially introduced, 5% of patients had post-operative grievances; however, refinements in the procedure have created this rate to go down to less compared to 1% if LASIK is performed by proficient professionals as well as people are appropriately screened prior to surgical procedure. If issues do take place, they can commonly be resoved by a retreatment.
FDA has authorized LASIK laser eye surgery given that 1998. While there are a lot of pleased individuals, there are nonetheless no long-term researches concerning its results. Understand the constraints and the risks of LASIK eye surgery before you sigh up for the procedure.
Though less well known, these little implants can enhance vision in clients with mild to modest nearsightedness without the danger of long-term eye damage inherent in the cells elimination method of LASIK. Intacs are semi-circular disks implanted in the cornea which stretch it to think a flatter form. Though somewhat less precise compared to LASIK, they are removeable as well as changeable, so if the patient has an unexpected over- or under-correction, the dental implant can be eliminated and also another of a various size placed to get the desired modification. The implants lie at the edge of the cornea, so the main visual location is entirely undamaged as well as undamaged, as well as the toughness of the cornea is undiminished, making it a far better choice for pilots and those that participate in contact sporting activities where eye injury is a possibility.
Intacs disagree for serious myopia and also more than small astigmatism (1.00 diopters), as the cornea can only be extended so far. If the Intacs are gotten rid of, vision returns to its preoperative degree. In addition to vision modification, Intacs are also made use of to treat keratoconus.
Intacs are FDA accepted and One Decade research studies have revealed no significant issues with Intacs and few patient complaints; nonetheless, since the procedure takes more training compared to LASIK, there are fewer eye surgical procedure centers offering it. Nonetheless, the Intacs website offers a listing of experts in each state, as well a couple of in Canada, Europe and Mexico.
Since many individuals do not want to take the chance of LASIK as well as Intacs can not aid those with severe vision troubles, intraocular lens implants (IOL) are a new alternative approved by the FDA in 2004 to remedy moderate to serious nearsightedness. The Craftsmen lens, made by Ophtec, is similar to the kind of lens dental implant utilized to bring back vision adhering to cataract eye surgery.
The new IOL, called the Craftsmen, is planned for only clients that have 2.5 diopters or much less of astigmatism.
The artificial lens does not replace have a peek here the all-natural official website lens, however is inserted in front of it. The main issue located with the implant was the consistent loss of endothelial cells in the corneas of patients who obtained the implants. The endothelium is a layer of cells that line the undersurface of the cornea and are vital in maintaining the cornea clear. A three-year study showed a constant stable loss of endothelial cells of 1.8 percent a year. At this moment, no one can anticipate whether this loss will certainly continue at the same rate forever, or perhaps its effect on corneal feature.
To decrease long-term impacts of the gadget on the corneal endothelium, the FDA is calling for that the brand-new lenses be identified to define that they need to only be implanted in individuals whose corneal endothelial cells are thick adequate to withstand minor cell loss.
Much more severe difficulties were couple of: retinal detachment (0.6%), cataract development (0.6%), and corneal swelling (0.4%). The FDA is needing Ophtec to carry out a five-year follow-up study of its dental implant individuals to much better analyze the post-surgical occurrence of cataract development, retinal detachment and various other sensory diseases.
The Artisan lens is intended to be a long-term implant.Though it can be eliminated operatively, vision could not constantly go back to just what it was before obtaining the lens. Due to the fact that it does not affect astigmatism, patients with this problem might still require glasses.

|Haunted Mansion Candelabra
Halloween is the propmaster holiday. When I'm not working on a specific show, I turn my creative energies to building props for Halloween.
I found a cheesy '70's candelabra in a local thrift store. It was a four arm candelabra with a fifth candle holder in the center. The base was turned wood and the arms were made of bent pencil rod. It needed to become cooler. Personally, I think skulls make just about everything better and so...
|Cheesy, 1970's thrift store candelabra
I just happened to have a few small foam skulls and a handful of mini plastic skulls laying around. My thought was that if one skull was good, then five were surely better.
The Process
The first step in the haunted mansion candelabra was to set the larger skull on the central post. To do this, I sawed the skull in half with a steak knife, then carved out channels for the skull to fit around the pencil rod.
Once the parts were cut and fitted, I reassembled the skull around the center post and fixed it with hot glue. If I were to do this project again, I would use low temp hot glue. I think there would be less melting of the foam. Nevertheless, it worked and I was able to attach the skull to the middle of the candelabra.
|Sawing asunder the foam skull
|What that looks like
|Fitting the foam skull around the post. Measurements were made and scribed with a sharpie pen and the channels were cut with an exacto knife
|Once I was satisfied with the fit, I applied hot glue to the post and fitted one half of the skull to it.
|Next the other half of the skull was attached with hot glue. Low temp hot glue
would have worked better
Next came the mini skulls on the arms of the candelabra. I used hard plastic, hollow mini skulls from a Bag O' Skulls I acquired at a Halloween shop. The first step was to drill a hole the same diameter as the pencil rod through the top and bottom of the skulls.
Next, along the back of the skull I joined the top and bottom holes with a cut line made with an exacto knife. The cut line allowed for the back of the skull to be spread and placed around the pencil rod. The original drilled hole then snapped in place around the metal.
After that, each of the skulls are situated on the pencil rod and the interior of each skull was filled with hot glue. I then placed the candelabra upside down so the mini skulls wouldn't shift while the hot glue set.
|Drilling the mini skull
|Connecting the dots with an exacto knife
|Placing the mini skulls
|Filling the mini skulls with hot glue
|Allowing it to set upside down
|I just happened to have a couple of wall mounted candelabras and gave them the same treatment. Why not?
The Paint Job
I have a technique for painting cast iron that I thought I'd like to use on this project.
Step one: Base coat.
I used Krylon flat black spray paint for my base coat. Normally I would use mastic on the prop prior to painting it. I didn't have any so I overlooked this step. I figured the paint on the foam skull would be robust enough to withstand the solvents in the spray paint. The mastic would have been a more sure barrier. Next time I won't forego this step. The foam skull reacted to the solvents a bit. Not so much that it ruined the effect, but it wasn't as nice as I would have liked it to be. It gained a pebbly surface. Next time...
Step two: Workup
For the workup on this process I stood back about 24 inches from the candelabras and misted them with silver spray paint. It's important not to go too heavy with this step. It really needs to be a fine spatter of silver.
Step three: The finish
The finish coat was a medium coating of Design Master Glossy Wood Tone. If I could only have one spray color and expect to be a properties artisan, it would be Design Master Glossy Wood Tone. It is by far the most useful spray color I have ever used. It is a color tool used in the floral industry, and is more like a spray dye than a paint. It is self leveling unlike most spray paints, and it goes on transparent like watercolor.
Once the glossy wood tone is dry, the candelabra is done. If you wish to age it or dirty it up, that can be done with a little raw umber, a brush and a rag. See the blog post on magical tomes for that technique.
|The finished piece, ready for Halloween
|And it's brothers

Modern Catholic Social Teaching
Commentaries and Interpretations, 2d ed.
Washington DC:Georgetown University Press, January2018.672 pages.$49.95.Paperback.ISBN9781626165144.For other formats: Link to Publisher's Website.
Review by Danielle Dempsey forthcoming.
Including contributions from twenty-two leading moral theologians, this volume is the most thorough assessment of modern Roman Catholic social teaching available. In addition to interrogations of the major documents, it provides insight into the biblical and philosophical foundations of Catholic social teaching, addresses the doctrinal issues that arise in such a context, and explores the social thought leading up to the "modern" era, which is generally accepted as beginning in 1891 with the publication of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. The book also includes a review of how Catholic social teaching has been received in the United States and offers an informed look at the shortcomings and questions that future generations must address. This second edition includes revised and updated essays as well as two new commentaries: one on Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Caritas in Veritateand one on Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si'. An outstanding reference work for anyone interested in studying and understanding the key documents that make up the central corpus of modern Catholic social teaching.

Firefox has its personal profiles system that works like Chrome's person account switcher. Every profile has its personal bookmarks, settings, add-ons, browser historical past, cookies, and different information. For instance, you may want to create a profile for work and a separate profile for private use, maintaining them separate.
Mozilla hides Firefox's Profile Supervisor, not making it a extremely seen a part of the interface like Chrome does. However, in case you'd like to use totally different browser profiles with their very own settings and information, Firefox makes it doable.
Think about Firefox Multi-Account Containers As an alternative
Mozilla has one other, extra streamlined answer in case you're simply trying to preserve elements of your shopping separate from one another. It's named the "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" extension, and it's made by Mozilla themselves. This extension allows you to select a "Container" for every tab you will have open. For instance, you could possibly launch tabs in the "Work" container if you're working and the "Private" container if you're not working. So, in case you had a separate set of labor accounts and private accounts, you could possibly simply change between containers with out signing in and out of every web site.
Whereas this doesn't utterly substitute the necessity for profiles (bookmarks, browser historical past, and add-ons are shared between containers), it does let you will have a separate login state and cookies for every container.
How to Create Profiles and Change Between Them
Mozilla Firefox now permits you to handle profiles whereas it's working, with out the necessity for utilizing the Profile Supervisor discovered in older variations. To entry this function, kind "about:profiles" in Firefox's deal with bar, and then press Enter. You may bookmark this web page for simpler entry in the long run, in case you like.
For those who haven't fiddled with Firefox profiles earlier than, you'll doubtless be utilizing the "default" profile.
To create a brand new profile, click on the "Create a New Profile" button.
Click on via the "Create Profile Wizard" window that seems and present a descriptive identify for the brand new profile so you may keep in mind what it's for. For instance, you would possibly identify it "Work Profile" if it's for work.
To relaunch Firefox together with your new profile, first click on the "Set as default profile" button underneath the profile right here. As soon as it's your default profile, shut all open Firefox browser home windows and then relaunch Firefox. It launches with the default profile you selected.
To modify again to one other profile, head to about:profiles as soon as once more, click on "Set as default profile" for the profile you need to use, and then shut and relaunch Firefox.
For those who don't want a profile anymore, you may click on the "Take away" button right here to take away it out of your system. Bear in thoughts that this can delete all the info saved with the profile, together with its bookmarks, saved passwords, and add-ons.
How to Use Multiple Profiles At As soon as
You will have seen that there's a "Launch profile in new browser" button on the "About Profiles" web page. Nevertheless, this button does nothing when utilizing Firefox's default configuration for dealing with profiles. By default, Firefox solely runs a single profile directly. You've gotten to shut and relaunch your browser to change between profiles. However, with somewhat modification to the shortcut you utilize to launch it, Firefox can run a number of profiles on the similar time.
To allow a number of Firefox profiles directly, you will need to launch Firefox with the
-no-remote command line possibility. To do that, you want to edit the taskbar, desktop, or Begin menu shortcut you usually use to launch Firefox.
For instance, in case you use the taskbar shortcut to launch Firefox, right-click the Firefox icon on the taskbar, right-click "Mozilla Firefox" in the popup menu, and then choose the "Properties" possibility.
Within the properties window, on the "Shortcut" tab, place your cursor on the very finish of the textual content in the "Goal" field, and then add
-no-remote to the top of the textual content. The Goal field ought to look one thing like:
"C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe" -no-remote
Click on "OK" to save your adjustments.
Shut all open Firefox browser home windows, and then relaunch Firefox utilizing the shortcut you simply modified. Once you do, you may head again to the about:profiles web page and click on the "Launch profile in new browser" button. Firefox opens a brand new browser window with the profile you chose.
For those who need assistance telling which is which, you may all the time head to menu > Add-ons > Themes and set a unique theme for every profile.
How to Use the Outdated Profile Supervisor As an alternative
It's also possible to do every thing we've talked about with the older Firefox Profile Supervisor, in case you want. This additionally allows you to create particular shortcuts that open Firefox's Profile Supervisor and launch Firefox with particular profiles, in case you like.
First, you want to shut Firefox utterly. Click on the menu button in Firefox and choose the "Exit Firefox" command. Subsequent, you'll want to launch Firefox with the
-p change.
- On Home windows: Press Home windows+R, kind
firefox.exe -pinto the Run field that seems, and then press Enter.
- On Mac: Open a Terminal window—press Command+Area, kind Terminal, and press Enter to do it from Highlight. On the immediate, kind
/Purposes/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanagerand then press Enter.
- On Linux: Open a terminal and run the
firefox -profilemanagercommand.
You'll see the Select Person Profile dialog window. By default, there can be a single person profile named "default." You should use this window to create extra profiles, rename present ones, and delete them.
For those who'd like to all the time see the profile chooser if you begin Firefox—this may allow you to select a profile every time you click on your Firefox shortcut with out requiring a particular command—you may flip off the "Use the chosen profile with out asking at startup" possibility. This causes Firefox to ask which profile you need every time you begin it—no less than till you flip that possibility again on.
You want no less than one profile to use Firefox. Every profile has its personal settings, extensions, bookmarks, historical past, cookies, and every thing else. Bear that in thoughts. For those who delete the "default" profile, you'll lose all of your Firefox browser information (except you're utilizing Firefox Sync and can get it again from there.)
Once you create a brand new profile, you can provide it any identify you need. The wizard exhibits you the place the profile can be saved. By default, they're positioned underneath your person account's Firefox profiles folder, prefixed with eight random letters and numbers.
Choose a profile, and then click on "Begin Firefox" to begin Firefox with that chosen profile. Once you begin Firefox for the primary time with a brand new profile, you'll see the welcome expertise once more.
Give up Firefox and launch it once more to change between profiles. Assuming you turned off the "Use chosen profile with out asking at startup" possibility, Firefox asks which profile you need to use earlier than launching. You would additionally depart that field checked and launch Firefox with the
-p or
-profilemanager change to entry the hidden profile supervisor if you need it.
For ease of use, you could possibly create a shortcut that opens Firefox with the profile supervisor, too. For instance, on Home windows you could possibly create a duplicate of the Mozilla Firefox shortcut in your desktop, rename it one thing like "Mozilla Firefox – Profile Supervisor", and then add an area and a
-p to the top of the textual content in the "Goal" field. That shortcut would now open Firefox with the Profile Supervisor, assuming Firefox is totally closed if you launch the shortcut.
Firefox isn't arrange to work fairly like Chrome by default. It solely needs you to use a single profile directly. Nevertheless, you need to use a number of profiles directly, in case you like.
To do that, you'll simply want to launch Firefox with the
-no-remote change. You would do that from the Run dialog or terminal, or simply modify an present Firefox shortcut. For instance, in case you created the Profile Supervisor shortcut above, you could possibly simply add
-no-remote in order that it reads
-p -no-remote on the finish of the Goal field.
Launch Firefox with this change—in different phrases, double-click the shortcut you simply created—and it received't verify to see if Firefox is already working. As an alternative, it'll ask which profile you need to use and create a brand new Firefox course of with that profile.
You should use this course of to open Firefox with as many various profiles as you need, though every profile can solely be in use by one copy of Firefox at a time. For those who attempt to open the identical profile a second time whereas it's already working, you'll see a "Profile In Use" error.
Word: For those who see a profile in use error whereas Firefox seems to be closed, chances are you'll want to go to the Process Supervisor and kill the firefox.exe course of from there, forcibly closing it if it's caught working in the background.
This could all work such as you'd anticipate it to. Nevertheless, whereas Chrome does make it simple to see which profile you're utilizing in its interface, Firefox doesn't make this info very seen. For that, you may want to set up a unique theme for every profile or visually distinguish them in one other means.
For those who ever want to discover out which profile you're utilizing, you'll find this info on the "about:profiles" web page.
You don't want to use the Profile Supervisor to repair issues together with your Firefox profile. As an alternative, you need to use the "Refresh Firefox" function to get a recent Firefox browser with out twiddling with profiles and shedding your necessary stuff.

indigo and caramel fabrics. We used the baskets from this site, and each selected one to make twelve of. The swap closes in a couple of weeks, and the blocks that have come in are nothing short of gorgeous. Half have caramel backgrounds and half have indigo backgrounds. Some of us are so fond of this color combination that we've decided to make larger quilts than twelve-block projects.
Mary and Judi No Blog and I decided to do a side swap, each making three more blocks with indigo backgrounds and three more with caramel backgrounds. And, oh so conveniently, Piecemeal's blocks are the same size as Plano's! And there are a dozen there, too! And for our quilts we will each need 25 -- leaving us only one more to discover from another source.
I cut out my first trio the other night and got them finished last night. I'm very pleased with them, and eager to get the other trio finished before the swap ends at the end of this month.
Truly, I've never met a basket block that I didn't love. Truly.

I love basket blocks too, and have saved the PDFs from Piecemeal, but haven't started anything yet. There are some good basket blocks on Quilter's Cache, I like this one: http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BasketofChipsBlock.html

Odell Beckham Jr. arrived at the New York Giants' team facility Monday, one day before a mandatory minicamp is set to begin, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson.
Beckham had skipped the Giants' OTAs over the past month, in part to indicate his desire for a new contract, sources had told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
On May 25, Beckham told NFL Network that "I love my team and am excited about the season," adding that he would "for sure" report to the Giants' mandatory minicamp.
Beckham also posted an Instagram video early Monday that included the hashtag #ImBack
Beckham is scheduled to make $1.8 million this season under the terms of his rookie contract. The Giants recently picked up the star wide receiver's fifth-year option for 2018 at what is likely to be around $8 million.
Co-owner John Mara said last week at a team town hall that he wants Beckham to finish his career with the Giants.

Creative and fun portrait photography – pre wedding photo shoot
I was delighted when Laura and Grant booked me as their wedding photographer. We arranged a pre wedding photo shoot the other day on the beach in Bournemouth in Dorset. It was a beautiful sunny day but rather windy.
They live in Enfield in North London, Laura requested a beach pre wedding photo shoot as it is something very different from what they are used to, it also provides a fantasitc backdrop for romantic couple portraits.
We met up at the lovely Reef Encounter and talked through all the wedding plans before we made our way to the beach. They brought their dog down for the trip, this was Mr Howard's first visit to the beach so we were all curious as to how he would react. Very happy to say he had a wonderful time as you can see in the photos and I made another new friend.
Grant and I share a similar view on having our photo taken, its not our favourite activity. I gave him some reassurance that he should be himself and enjoy the walk on the beach with his lovely fiancé. After chatting and walking for a while, taking some candid reportage style portraits, Grant soon warmed up and I was able to get some really nice photos of them and Mr Howard, who kept insisting he was also part of the shoot.
I like to make people feel relaxed and have fun, to enjoy themselves – for me this gets the best results.
The wedding is being held in Chichester with the reception at the lovely Goodwood Hotel. Very much looking forward to documenting their wedding day in August.
Here are some of my favourite pre wedding photos:

Could this reporter ever get a date with Houston's Playboy model?
Updated 1:49 pm, Wednesday, November 2, 2011
By the time I slip inside her photo shoot for Sam magazine, Sandy Garza is draped across a tufted leather chair that looks like it was lifted from the cigar parlor in Gordon Gecko's bachelor pad.
I start to say hello when I notice that every inch of her curvy, five-foot figure is spilling out of a lacey burlesque getup that makes her look like one of Doc Holliday's infamous strumpets - but, like, in a good way.
Said outfit also makes it really hard – well, perhaps impossible – to avoid staring at Sandy for inappropriate durations of time. Suddenly, I'm back in eighth grade history class, my pubescent eyes locked on Kelly Hudson, who is wearing a low-cut top inspired by Sporty Spice that has effectively nullified my interest in the Texas Revolution.
Holding my note pad, I calmly say hello to Sandy, doing my best "professional journalist" impression. But a few more minutes of this torture and I might turn into "Scotty," the bumbling loser from Boogie Nights played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Specifically, I'm thinking of the stomach-churning scene when he forces Dirk Diggler to come outside and "see his new car."

"Can I kiss you? Please…can I kiss you on the mouth? Please, let me. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to grab you like that or scare you or anything…Do you want to kiss me?"
Excuse me.
Yeah, you get the idea.
It's around this time that I remember Garza, a 27-year-old Houston native, has appeared in Playboy Special Editions, Low Rider Magazine and Maxim. She is, as her laid-back demeanor suggests, at ease bearing it all for the camera… and whomever happens to be slinking around it (in this case, me). Garza just got done shooting for Playboy Coeds. She also has a small part in Vengeance, Danny Trejo's latest film. In addition to getting a degree in mechanical engineering, she had another one in interior design. Not exactly what you'd expect from your local Playboy pin-up.
But it explains why she knows the answer to my first question, which I nervously disgorge after she is forced to shake my clammy hand.
What kind of chair was lucky enough to have you laying on it in tight-fitting lingerie?
That would be a Barcelona Chair. I have an interior-design background.
And THIS would be a look of envy (making a pathetic face).
Do you start all your interviews by hitting on your subjects? (Laughing)
I believe in full disclosure with my interview subjects. And at the risk of losing my job and breaching whatever journalistic standards I theoretically abide by, I'm going to have to let you know that I'm highly attracted to you and think you should consider making me your full-time press aide. Is that a problem moving forward?
Oh my god! (Laughing.) You're very sweet. And a little weird, but that's OK.
Thanks. I feel better now. You have my number. Shall we move on?
Let's do it!
When we first met, you were getting photographed for Playboy's casting call in Houston. A few weeks later you were at the Playboy mansion, where you got to meet Hef. What was that like?
It was pretty cool. He's really sweet, and he's a good host. He does classic movie screenings at his house every weekend. We watched Rebel Without a Cause in this little theater. Afterward he talked about the movie and kind of put it in context. After that, we went back to a dining room to drink coffee and wine and…
Everyone knows Hef is a lecherous old man. Did he hit on you?
No way! (Laughing).
Why not?
He has a girlfriend! He's really sweet and he steady with that one chick!
Really? Hef has lame taste, by the way. If I were him I would've dumped those Barbie girls, eaten a bunch of bone marrow, grilled some Tiger penis - a traditional Chinese aphrodisiac, btw - and summoned the last ounce of testosterone I had left in my 160-year-old body to date you instead. I'm just sayin'.
That's very thoughtful of you - I think. But he looks like he's pretty happy already. He's a really nice guy.
Speaking of Amazonian Nordic women, as a petite Latina from Houston, do you feel like you defy the Playboy stereotype?
It seems like they're diversifying. You didn't used to see a Hispanic or an Asian girl in Playboy. It's good to see that they're changing and pretty much moving on with the times. A lot of people think models need to be tall and thin, and I'm short and curvy. I seem to be something that more women can relate to these days.
What have you been up to since you've been back in Houston?
I'm doing a few small independent shorts. I'm taking acting classes at a studio up in the Heights and seeing how it goes. I'm just having fun with it. I want to finish my education, but at the same time I've always been drawn to the entertainment industry.
Every time I read a Q&A with an attractive model type she says she never goes out and prefers to stay home and watch Netflix instead. Please don't tell me that.
I won't! (Laughing.) I like to Bar Hop in Montrose on the weekends. I like craft cocktails, so Anvil is one of my favorites. I like Etro Lounge next door. I guess my scene is laid back with good music. You might see me at Poison Girl or Café Brazil, off the top of my head. Every once in a while I'll do the crazy party thing where I dance and drink too much.
You're single these days. So if a guy - namely myself - bumps into you at one of these places what should I - um, I mean - "he" say to grab your attention?
Don't ask stupid questions. Just be normal and talk. I don't like it when guys approach me at the gym, by the way. Actually food is the way to my heart. I like a guy who can cook, especially sushi. That's the way to get my attention. But I'm always really cautious. I dated a guy who turned out to be a convicted felon a year ago.
How did you find that out?
I did a background check.He had like six pages of him being in jail. He messed up my car with a beer bottle. He was nuts!
So now you're looking for somebody who is a little bit more…
Sane! But honestly, I really don't have a type. It just varies. But sane is a good start.
Guess I'm already out of the running.
Haha, well see…

A little bit of everything, my rantings and ramblings about my life as a stitcher. (and mother, pet owner, kayaker....)
Monday, January 07, 2008
A different sort of day.
I sat at the computer for hours drinking my coffee. (What is the difference wasting the day this way and wasting it sleeping? Really, is there a difference?) Made myself some bacon, biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and then decided to get dressed. I literally walked in circles for a while, cause I wanted to get something done, but I wasn't quite sure of what it was that I wanted to do first. I finally just grabbed up some tools and went out to clean up that window that was broken by my dtr last month. Got that done and my oldest dtr and I went to pick up another tool I needed to put the new glass in the window. We stopped at the grocery store and picked up some stuff for dinner. One of my coworkers, her partner and her partner's sister were coming over to do some crafting and have dinner. They were going to bring tri-tips that she cut in half and marinated in two different flavors. (Jamaican jerk and teriyaki)
While we were out my friend texted me and told me to go through my pictures and pick out some that meant something to me, because they were bringing material over to do a collage. When we got home my dtr got ready for work and I set up all the food things I needed to for dinner and then set out to figure out what pics I wanted to use. I basically went with a family theme.
When the girls all got here, we picked out background paper and stickers and then I cut my pictures to make them prettier to look at. When my oldest got home I had her and her sister help with the collage. Then my friends framed it for me and we hung it up.
We cleared the table of crafty things and put out the food, and feasted. I laughed and joked and had such a good time. You know, I just love having friends around.
This is a big first for me. We usually don't have much company. When we do it's family from out of town and we sit and catch up on the rest of the family who aren't here. (I would have said gossip, but ya know...)
My daughters really enjoyed having my friends here. Of course the friends are closer in age to my kids than they are to me. Now, it's 11PM and I am finally tired. I get reved up when I do something different, like I don't want to let go of the feeling, and if I go to sleep it will go away. I am going to bed and will probably be up at 5AM again tomorrow. Oh well, it's all good.

Okay, Claudia, this is getting bizarre-er and bizarre-er because I could have written your whole post. Except the part about fixing the broken window myself. I have the broken window, I just don't have a clue how to fix it (and don't want a clue)--plus, I don't even know who to call to fix it. I just keep the wooden blind on that window closed :) HA! But, everything else you said? I KNOW! Your friends sound great, and the whole evening that you described just makes me smile! And wish I was there. Good friends, good family, good food and good fun--hey, that is what life is all about. Gosh, I'm happy for you. I can't think of anyone more deserving of a nice, relaxing, MELLOW evening spent amongst people who are happy and like each other and don't have an agenda! Ahhhm GOOD TIMES--and I hope for many more of them for you. I just wish I was there, too! I am seriously craft challenged, but I SO want to learn. Just got myself a digital camera this past fall, and now I'd really love to learn some scrapping. I probably will at some point, but that is one of those things that, to me, would be a lot more fun when doing it the way all of you did last night! And then to actually get it framed and up on the wall the same night? COOL!!! I bought some prints in October and they're still in the tube! HAHAHA--how pathetic is that? Every time I have company, all I can think of is how I'd like to have more company more often--you know like playing cards, playing games, potluck dinners, movies, all the fun stuff! And that your daughters participated and had such a good time? ICING ON THE CAKE! Tell them "hi" for me. And, my dear friend, I wish you many, many more evenings just like last evening. That would be because I LUVYAMUCH-er!!! MUCH-er more every day!

Sounds like having friends over has done you the power of good! I'm not a one for having friends over much either (other than family for quick visits) and I think the longer I go between get-togethers, the more I become.... well I'm not sure what it's called but I get stressy at the thought of company popping over and making a day of it, lol.
I think of it as probably 'set in my ways'....but it's likely to be more 'anti-social' than anything else, heheheh.

Oh my gosh, me too! There are MANY nights that I don't want to go to sleep because that would mean the day was really over!

Allison Alcéna is a recent Asheville transplant, raised in Spring Valley, New York. She holds a Bachelors of Arts in English Literature and Black Studies from Swarthmore College. During her time in college, Allison researched how children's literature can be a catalyst for social change and how literature has historically served as a form of resistance in Black communities. As a college student, Allison gravitated towards campus leadership positions where identity remained at the forefront of conversation and such opportunities proved invaluable for contextualizing her existence as well as gaining insight on the many manifestations marginalization has on a college campus.
Through her social justice work, Allison seeks to center the voices of marginalized people, particularly youth of color. As the Tzedek Fellow for the University of North Carolina at Asheville Center for Diversity Education, she supervises a team of college students through their social justice endeavors both on campus and in the greater Asheville community.

This year, forget the Georgia O'Keeffe calendar.
Ditch the teddy bears calendar. Dump last year's English rose garden calendar.
This year, live on the edge.
Buy a calendar that none of your friends will have. No cute and cuddly animals, no fields of flowers, no artwork that hangs in famous museums.

Baltimore police have arrested a North Carolina man in connection with a double shooting last month in Mount Vernon that left a gay aspiring photographer dead.
Anthony Guglielmi of the Baltimore Police Department told the Washington Blade that Quinton Bass, 25, of Raleigh, N.C., was arrested on gun charges on Aug. 31. He said officers who had been dispatched to patrol the neighborhood in the weeks after the Aug. 10 shooting that left Alexander "Alex" Ulrich, Jr., dead and community activist Lawrence R. Peterson critically injured took Bass, who has a previous criminal record, into custody after they found him and four others drinking alcohol in East Mount Vernon Park.
"Patrol officers gave that information to the homicide detective based on what was captured during an interview that corroborated what Homicide had," said Guglielmi.
Bass allegedly shot Ulrich and Peterson during what Guglielmi described as a robbery as they stood on the front steps of a building near the Belvedere Hotel on East Chase Street. Guglielmi told the Blade in the days after the crime that it appeared Ulrich's sexual orientation did not play a role in the crime.
He noted a third unidentified person was also robbed during the incident.
"As the community and our circle of friends breathes a sigh of relief upon the arrest of Alex's murderer, I think it's important to look at Bass' prior criminal history and his status as a homeless person to see that the current system we have in no way deterred nor prevented Alex's loss," Ulrich's friend, Ian Finkenbinder, told the Blade upon learning of Bass' arrest. "Instead, the culture of criminality, violence and death propagated by the criminal justice system and endemic homelessness has resulted in the loss of our friend and the further destruction of Bass' life due to the poor choices he made from the options he had. We need to find real solutions to these problems or Alex's death, sadly, will not be the last."
Bass remains held on $175,000 bail. He is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 2.
Alex was so much more than a Gay person. I hate that GAY is what they define him as. Alex was a beautiful, talented, caring, fun loving person to have in your life. I knew anytime I needed a pick me up. Alex knew exactly what to say or knew exactly how my demented thought process worked. We connected on a level I didn't have with many people. He loved life and I miss him so much.
