Nina Lang was the younger sister of noted scientist Emil Lang. Born on Earth prior to the First Robotech War, she was present in the era post the Macross Incident when an alien vessel later known as the SDF-1 crashed on Macross Island.
Where her brother became a scientist, Nina decided to become a successful singer where she was the star of a band known as Absolute Zero. In this era, efforts were made to study the alien technology of the "Visitor" ship with its presence having ended the Global Civil War. Elements within the United Earth Government believed that the creators of the ship may one day return to reclaim it whilst scientists such as Dr. Lang developed the science known as Robotechnology by studying the craft. However, others believed that the ship was a bad omen for their people with one such movement being the Faithful who believed that it was a representation of the Devil. Among those that held a negative view of the alien ship was Nina Lang which put her partially at odds with her own brother.
In 2005, she visited Macross Island in order to play numerous concerts and was reunited with her brother in this time. She was also introduced to Roy Fokker of the Robotech Defense Force and expressed a romantic interest in him at the time. Over the course of events, the Faithful's new charismatic leader Geoff Davies decided to entrench himself deeper in Macross City's politics and asked for Nina Lang's help in this endeavour. In this regard, he asked her to sponsor a number of anti-Robotech commercials on the Macross Broadcast System. This prompted Dr. Lang with asking MBS anchor Clayton Fortenspeil to begin a public debate where he would argue the benefits of Robotechnology against Nina. In this time, Nina would visit the SDF-1 and was given a tour by Roy Fokker though in truth she wanted him to convince her brother to call off the public debate as she feared it would cause a wedge in her relationship with him.
In this time, Claudia Grant was noted to had been somewhat hostile towards Nina Lang as she also had romantic feelings towards Fokker. Before the debate, however, Nina would be kidnapped by a splinter faction of the Faithful that were secretly led by Anatole Leonard who decided to hold her hostage in order to convince Emil Lang to destroy the SDF-1. Emil Lang would ask his friend Roy Fokker to save his sister and he was ultimately successful in this task. After being freed, Nina expressed joy at the thought that Fokker saved her as she believed he would be the one to do so. However, he claimed that he had done the act primarily as a favour to his friend Emil and that the gesture was not a romantic one which ended any romance between the two as Roy claimed that Nina was his friend.
Following this time, Nina would be introduced to her brothers best friend who was Brian Bernard and the two started a romance. Emil, however, would secretly inform Bernard that Nina's relationships tended not to last and that she may still have held some romantic feelings for Fokker despite being in a relationship with Bernard. However, Brian stated that he did not mind and wanted to enjoy the company whilst it lasted. Knowledge of Nina Lang being romantically involved with Bernard would become well known amongst the population. Afterwards, Bernard would confess his past life to Nina about the debt he owed to the hacker known as the Salamander. Nina would also meet with Claudia Grant and Lisa Hayes where she advised Grant not to spurn the romantic attentions of Fokker.
Behind the Scenes
The fate of Nina is unknown as the comic series did not elaborate further on the arc. Furthermore, her relationship with Brian Bernard possibly hints that she may be Scott Bernard's mother though this is speculation.
This wikia deems all story which feature her invalid in favor of the comic series From the Stars.

A Beautiful Day for a Swing
Before the volleyball game today we spent some time at the park. Today was one of those beautiful autumn days the kind you just don't want to waste. I felt the crisp air blowing - the forerunner to winter and had to spend some of this day outside. Alanna agreed.

Howdy, Picasso here!
Back again just looking for some tech answers. Currently I'm making an M4 dream rifle build. The rifle is NOT EBB and is a plain-jane aeg. I'm going all out on the luxuries and making sure I have all the bells and whistles.
Right now im worried about a good dust cover plate and bolt catch. Since, I'm starting from stratch, I have NO specific parts that come with the receiver I will order.
Any recommendations on a dummy bolt that you can "catch" with, with the little button doohickey on the side of the receiver?

Christmas Gift Holders
Here are a couple of gift holders I made that I saw on a blog earlier this month. She used them for Hot cocoa mix and I used the other one for a large candy bar. Just fun things to give :) They untie and open to a thin box with a window showing the treat inside. The treat slides out towards the inside so it doesn't fall out. I just wanted to share one more Christmas thing before it is over! I hope you are enjoying or soon to enjoy family and friends :)

S. Padmanabhan, J.
1. This is a petition invoking the inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Criminal P.C. The prayer is to quash Ext. P2 order passed on Ext. PI petition and all further proceedings in C.C. 46 of 1983 pending before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Irinjalakuda. There is also a prayer that the petitioners may be dropped from the array of accused in the case. There are two petitioners.
2. The short question for consideration is whether Ext. 2 order was passed by the Magistrate without authority and as such an abuse of process of court which resulted in miscarriage of justice requiring interference at the hands of this Court by invoking the inherent power.
3. The short facts are : - Second respondent, Ramadevan, is the de facto complainant which was pending before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Kodungallur as C.C. 102 of 1982. Subsequently that case was transferred to the file of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Irinjalakuda and renumbered as C.C. 46 of 1983. Originally, when the case was pending before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Kodungallur there were three accused namely, Babu, Jagadeesan and Gopalakrishnan. The offences for which that case was charge-sheeted were Sections 419 and 420 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code. Irrelated to an agreement of sale alleged to have been executed by the second respondent regarding 70 cents of land belonging to him in favour of the first petitioner, Aravindakshan on 15-12-1980. Rs. 22.000/- is alleged to have been received under agreement as advance.
4. Second respondent received a notice from the first petitioner on the basis of the agreement. When the notice was received, the second respondent filed a petition before the Superintendent of Police against the first petitioner and the abovesaid accused persons. That was forwarded to the Sub-Inspector of Police, Kodungallur. The Sub-Inspector registered crime No. 225 of 1981 of the Kodungallur Police Station for the abovesaid offences and investigated the case. Investigation revealed that the first petitioner has no hand in the crime. It was also revealed by investigation that the alleged agreement was forged at the instance of the three accused by impersonation. During investigation of that case, the present first petitioner was questioned. He took the stand that the agreement was not executed by the second respondent in his favour and that it was a forgery and impersonation at the instance of the accused. Therefore instead of implicating him as an accused he was made charge witness No. 2. The case was charge-sheeted only against the abovesaid three accused.
5. After the charge-sheet was filed and the Magistrate took cognizance of the offence, the first petitioner changed his attitude. He issued lawyer notice to the second respondent on the basis of the agreement as, if it was executed in his favour by the second respondent himself. Impleading the second respondent and Jagadeesan, one of the accused in the Criminal case, as defendants, he filed O.S. 215 of 1982 before the Subordinate Judge, Irinjalakuda for return of the advance amount received under the agreement. Therefore the second respondent filed Ext. PI petition before the Magistrate requesting that further investigation may be made regarding the complexity of the first petitioner and others as a whole. He also alleged commission of other offences requiring further investigation. By Ext P2 order dated 23-11-1982, the Magistrate allowed the prayer and ordered further investigation by the Circle Inspector of Police. As a result of further investigation, Babu (first accused) was deleted from the array of the accused and a further report was filed before court regarding the commission of offences punishable under Sections 419, 465, 467, 468, 471, 511 and 420 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code, The original accused 2 and 3 excluding Babu were arrayed as accused 1 and 2 and petitioners 1 and 2 were arrayed as accused 3 and 4. Over above filing O.S. 215 of 1982, the first petitioner also filed a criminal complaint as C.C. 1 of 1983 against the second respondent and Jagadeesan for offences punishable under Section 420 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code. The present petition has been filed under this background.
6. Before entering into a discussion on the merits of the controversy, I may say that by his actions the first petitioner made himself ineligible for the extraordinary and discretionary remedy of invoking the inherent jurisdiction of this Court There are certain reliefs which parties may not be entitled to claim from a Court of law as a matter of right.; For example, there are certain reliefs which could be claimed on the basis of the Specific Relief Act including injunction. In such cases, apart from the merits of the claims, the Court will look into the question whether the party who has approached the Court for such discretionary remedies have come with clean hands. He who sees equity must do equity. Those who are seeking equitable and discretionary reliefs will have to approach the Court with clean hands. A fraudulent attitude on the part of the petitioner or his unclean hands' by themselves disentitle him to such reliefs even though he may be supported by legal backgrounds. That is the case with exercise of inherent jurisdiction also. Invoking of inherent jurisdiction is definitely an 'extraordinary remedy. While exercising that discretion, the Courts will have to act with due discretion which has to be exercised judicially. Such jurisdiction is expected to be exercised only sparingly and only in sure cases of gross injustice for the remedial of which there is no other specific provision of law. The main purpose Of invoking the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court under the Criminal P.C. is to prevent abuse of process of Court or to secure ends of justice otherwise in cases where no specific provision is available. A person who is seeking such a jurisdiction has undoubtedly to approach the Court with clean hands and with equitable backgrounds. He has to come to Court with an open mind for the purpose of making him eligible for such a relief. The High Court may not be justified in invoking the inherent power in favour of a person who is known to have approached the Court with a mala fide and fraudulent background.
7. When the second respondent denied execution of the agreement and filed a petition before the Superintendent of Police implicating the first petitioner also with an allegation that the agreement is a forgery, and when that matter was being investigated by the police, the first petitioner took the stand that he was defrauded by the other accused who played fraud on him by impersonation and forgery. He co-operated with the investigating agency by giving case diary statements to the effect that the document is actually a forgery and it was not executed by the second respondent in his favour. By taking that stand he was able to avoid the contingency of himself being implicated as an accused. He was only included as a charge-witness whose evidence was material for proof of the accusations. In fact he was charge-witness No. 2.
8. When the charge was laid before Court and the Magistrate took cognizance of the offence, the first petitioner felt that his object was achieved and his interest became safe. Therefore immediately he changed the plate and issued notice to the second respondent assuming that the agreement was executed by the second respondent himself in his favour. So also he filed a civil suit on the basis of the agreement. Further he has filed a criminal complaint also. I have mentioned these acts. earlier. The subsequent stand taken by hint was just contrary to the stand he adopted during the investigation of the case which was registered at the instance of the second respondent. That is why I said that the first petitioner has not approached the Court with clean hands, but with a fraudulent and mala fide motive. He was not able to inspire confidence in me and I feel that even without going further into the merits of the contentions urged before me the petition deserves dismissal on this ground itself.
9. Any how I shall consider the contentions on the merits for the sake of completeness and finality. Ext. P2 order was passed by the Magistrate under the provisions of Section 173(8) of the Criminal P.C. as amended. That provision was not there earlier and it is an inclusion by the amendment. Section 173(8) reads thus:
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to preclude further investigation in respect of an offence after a report under Sub-section (2) has been forwarded to the Magistrate and, whereupon such investigation, the officer in charge of the police station obtains further evidence, oral or documentary, he shall forward to the Magistrate a further report or reports regarding such evidence in the form prescribed; and the provisions of Sub-sections (2) to (6) shall, as far as may be, apply in relation to such report or reports as they apply in relation to a report forwarded under Sub-section (2).
10. There cannot be any dispute regarding the further investigational powers of the police on the basis of Section 173(8). Even after a final report is laid before court under Section 173(2) of the Criminal P.C., and even after the Court has taken cognizance of the offence, the investigating agency is entitled to investigate the matter further and submit further report in court under the authority of Section 173(8). Such a report will have to be considered by the Court just like the report under Section 173(2).
11. The contentions raised before me by the petitioners in this respect are three fold. (1) Especially after taking cognizance of the offence on a police report, the Magistrate is not competent to order further investigation by the police. (2) The court is having the power to proceed under Section 319 of the Criminal P.C. in such cases and therefore the Court cannot order further investigation seeking shelter under the provisions of Section 173(8), and (3), such a direction regarding further investigation after taking cognizance is not available because other remedies like the filing of a fresh complaint or requesting the Magistrate to call for a report under Section 156(3) were available to the second respondent.
12. In my opinion, the second and third contentions mentioned above do riot arise at all at present. Further if the Magistrate is competent to direct further investigation under the provisions of Section 173(8), those contentions are only of academic importance. Section 319(1) of the Criminal P.C. reads thus:
Where, in the course of any inquiry into, or trial of, an offence, it appears from the evidence that any person not being the accused has committed any offence for which such person could be tried together with the accused, the Court may proceed against such person for the offence which he appears to have committed.
The stage for proceeding under Section 319 of the Criminal P.C. has not arisen. Even if such a stage has arisen, I do not feel that it will in any way stand in the way of the court in ordering further investigation by the police.
13. The decision reported in Ram Lal Narang v. State (Delhi Administration) : 1979CriLJ1346 was rendered on the basis of the provisions of the Criminal P.C. as it stood before the amendment, at a time when the specific provision embodied in Section 173(8) was not there. At that time there was no provision empowering the investigating agency to have a further investigation after filing of the final report and taking cognizance of the offence by the Magistrate. In that decision it was held:
It is their duty to investigate and submit a report to the Magistrate upon the involvement of the other persons. In either case, it is for the Magistrate to decide upon his future course of action depending upon the stage at which the case is before him. If he has already taken cognizance of the offence, but has not proceeded with the enquiry or trial, he may direct the issue of process to persons freshly discovered to be involved and deal with all the accused, in a single enquiry or trial. If the case of which he has previously taken cognizance has already proceeded to some...extent, he may take fresh cognizance of the offence disclosed against the newly involved accused and proceed with the case as a separate case. What action a Magistrate is to take in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal P.C. in such situations is a matter best left to the discretion of the Magistrate. The criticism that a further investigation by the police would trench upon the proceedings before the Court is really not of very great substance, since whatever the police may do, the final discretion in regard to further action is with the Magistrate. That the final word is with the Magistrate is sufficient safeguard against any excessive Use or abuse of the power of the police to make further investigation.
In view of the above said decision the contention of the petitioners loose much of its force. The main contention of the petitioners was that the provisions of Section 173(8) could be invoked only by the investigating agency and not by the court. In support of this contention, the counsel relied on certain portions of the abovesaid judgment itself, which reads:
Notwithstanding that Magistrate had taken cognizance of the offence upon a police report submitted under Section 173 of the Code, the right of the police to further investigation is not exhausted and the police can exercise such right as often as necessary when fresh information comes to light. There was no provision in the Criminal P.C. (1898) which, expressly or by necessary implication barred the right of the police to further investigate after cognizance of the case had been taken by the Magistrate. Neither Section 173 nor Section 190 leads to say that the power of the police to further investigate was exhausted by the Magistrate taking cognizance of the offence. Practice, convenience and preponderance of authority, permit repeated investigations on discovery of fresh facts.
But I do not think that the abovesaid observations will in any way help the petitioners. The Supreme Court was only dealing with the investigational powers of the police even when there was no express provision for further investigation as embodied in the amended Code. Another portion of the same judgment itself will negative the contention put forward by the counsel for the petitioners. It was further held in that decision:
We should not, however, be understood to say that the police should ignore the pendency of a proceeding before a Court and investigate every fresh fact that comes to light as if no cognizance had been taken by the Court of any offence. We think that in the interests of the independence of the magistracy and the judiciary, in the interests of the purity of the administration of criminal justice and in the interests of the comity of the various agencies and institutions entrusted with different stages of such administration, it would ordinarily be desirable that the police should inform the Court and seek formal permission to make further investigation when fresh facts come to light.
(Underlining supplied)
It therefore follows that the powers of court in the matter of granting permission for further investigation or ordering further investigation are there. There is no merit in the contention to the contrary.
14. It is true that there is provision in Section 156(3) empowering .the Magistrate competent to take cognizance under Section 190 to order investigation as provided in Section 156(1) of the Criminal P.C. That does not indicate that the jurisdiction of the court in ordering further investigation after taking cognizance is barred by that provision. On the other hand, Section 156(3) only shows that the power to direct investigation is there always with the Court. The argument advanced by the counsel for the petitioners that even after the court has taken cognizance of the offence, it is having the power to order investigation under Section 156(3) only cuts at the root of the contention put forward by him. That amounts to an admission that the power to direct further investigation is there even after the Magistrate takes cognizance of the offence. The fact that the complainant may be entitled to file another complaint on the new facts is no ground to come to the conclusion that authority for directing further investigation is absent after the offence is taken cognizance of. I fail to understand how the hands of the court are fettered in this respect after cognizance is taken. In this connection Section 319 of the Code also becomes relevant. Under that provision, the Court is having the undoubted authority to proceed against persons who are not arrayed as/accused
15. Counsel for the petitioners also relied on the decision in State of Bihar v. A.C. Saldanna : 1980CriLJ98 . Paras 25 and 26 of that judgment are the portions relied on:
25. There is a clear-cut and well demarcated sphere of activity in the field of crime detection a crime punishment. Investigation of an offence is the field exclusively reserved for the executive through the police department, the superintendence over which vests in the State Government. The executive which is charged with a duly to keep vigilance over law and order situation is obliged to prevent crime and if an offence is alleged to have been committed it is its bounden duty to investigate into the offence and bring the offender to book. Once it investigates and finds an offence having been committed it is its duty to collect evidence for the purpose of proving the offence. Once that is completed and the investigating officer submits report to the Court to take cognisance of the offence under Section 190 of the Code its duty comes to an end. On a cognizance of the offence being taken by the Court the police function of investigation comes to an end subject to the provision contained in Section 173(8), there commences the adjudicatory function of the judiciary to determine whether an offence has been committed and if so, whether by the person or persons charged with the crime by the police in its report to the Court, and to award adequate punishment according to law for the offence proved to the satisfaction of the Court. There is thus a well defined and well demarcated function in the field of crime detection and its subsequent adjudication between the police and the Magistrate.
26. This view of the Judicial Committee clearly demarcates the functions of the executive and the judiciary in the field of detection of crime and its subsequent trial and it would appear that the power of the police to investigate into a cognizable offence is ordinarily not to be interfered with by the judiciary.
I do not think that the extracted portions of the judgment will in any way support the contention of the petitioners. At the same time it could be said that the Court has expressed the opinion that the power of the police to investigate into cognizable offences is not ordinarily to _be interfered with by the judiciary. There is nothing in that judgment to indicate that the power of the court to order investigation is not in existence. It has also to be understood that Section 173(8) of the Criminal P.C. or any other provision therein does not prohibit the right of the Magistrate to order investigation.
16. Another decision relied on by the counsel for the petitioners is H. S. Bains v. State (U.T. Chandigarh) : 1980CriLJ1308 . I have gone through that decision and there is nothing in it which is helpful to the stand taken by the petitioners. Therefore the power of the Court to order further investigation even after taking cognizance of the offence is always there and Section 173(8) need not be understood as empowering the police alone and prohibiting the Magistrate.
17. On the basis of Ext. P2 order, further investigation was conducted and a further report was filed in court implicating the petitioners. Ext. P.2 order was within the competence of the Magistrate. Ext. P2 and the further investigation based on the same do not in any way involve any abuse of process of court to be remedied under Section 482 of the Criminal P.C. In fact the circumstances definitely indicate that such a direction was absolutely essential in the interests of justice. It has not resulted in any miscarriage of justice.
18. The present petition is definitely an abuse of process of court and the petitioners have approached this Court with fraudulent and mala fide motive. The object of this petition is only to avoid facing trial or suffering conviction at any cost and to delay the criminal proceedings to the maximum possible. The petition fails and it is hereby dismissed.

More or less studiesIf you live in New York City—or lurk about public media even a little bit—chances are you've come across these exotic and extraordinary sight: A huge, colorful deal of innovative flowers placed at a seemingly random location. Perhaps a larger-than-life bunch of forsythia and sunflowers broke from an empty city trash can. Or a mammoth garland of roses hung something like a head in Mid Park.
These installations remain so striking, they've likely caused you to stop in your tracks. They've and probably caused you to contemplate the self of the pro bandit following these wonderful acts.
The guru bandit, it turns out, is Lewis Miller, a florist identified for their fantastical wedding and someone arrangements. Over the last few months, he also his merry gang of beautifiers have remained stealthily creating exactly what they call Flower Flashes. The purpose? And then bring joy to their fellow citizens' daily commutes. "Gifting flowers to Modern Yorkers is a regular idea that I have been thinking about for days," Lewis about. "I stay in the business of fantasy with flowers, and the post to help transform key moments in my clients' years into joyful, everlasting memories. I wanted to reconstruct a similar feeling for the daily city-dwellers and tourists of New York Area."
Below, Lewis gives Fashion a faster examine the Flower Displays, and shares what more you can assume from his burgeoning side project.

"With your first single, the Picture Mixture in Mid Park, we stay interrupted in how fast a crowd had produced. With on this era of gathering media, we perceive the fruits of our effort with remain directly rewarded by Instagram! We got to see how your purpose interpreted in real moment with numerous selflies with images documenting the blossoms throughout the course of the day. It was really great to observe people changed with adjusted the installation, sometimes in rearranging the blossoms, different point through simply using them!"

"Who doesn't like to get flowers? They occur such a luxury, with New York Area is a really brave, fast-paced town. If we could get nature—something violent and sumptuous—to New Yorkers and make them look, the way people look when they observe a chance achievement of kindness, and then that is a great thing. That exists our goal. It's a really simple idea but effective, I think, to produce an emotional response in flowers."

It only makes sense. It's such a hassle to bike/walk home with toilet paper, especially when it only allows you to buy a week's worth at a time. So yay, let's get a huge American-sized pack. Negative! This is what happens when you buy anything in bulk in the Netherlands. Zero storage = tower o' toilet paper.

driving woes
The traffic circle is a staple here, but four-way intersections don't have stop signs. It's so bizarre to me. People definitely don't stop. Apparently driving laws dictate who goes when.
One of many reasons I can't believe Americans are allowed to just show up and drive with a US license… The Dutch pay an outrageous fee and take mandatory classes to get a license in the country they've grown up in, while we get off the plane and figure it out (hopefully). Between the bus lanes, tram lines, car lanes, and bike lanes, I'm not sure you could pay me to drive in the city. (Both of these pictures are from Ijburg, which is a much more residential area. These aren't typical.)
when you live in amsterdam…
i can't relate to the coffee shop one, but the rest are undeniably true true true. my favorite are the leidseplein, bijenkorf, breakfast, and beer in a rinsed glass. ENJOY!

The school district's PT came by yesterday. She'll come every 6 weeks to check on Caedmon's progress, give us exercises to do and answer any concerns. It struck me again yesterday how grateful I am that God led us to Minnesota at this time. While many other states are getting rid of their early intervention programs because of budget shortfalls, Minnesota has maintained that they save more money by working with children at an early age and getting them the help they need before they get to school. What a blessing it is for the families! As a mom of a child with special needs I can attest to the fact that so many thoughts, doubts and fears go through my head on a daily basis: is that normal? is there something wrong? why did he just do that? To be able to have the support of professionals who work with babies and children all the time, I am able to maintain at a least a minimum level of sanity!
Kiirsten (isn't that a fantastic Minnesotan name?), the PT, checked his range of motion through the hips and head/neck, checked his incision areas on his ankles, control in sitting, tummy abilities, standing abilities, etc. The verdict is that he's doing awesome. He, again, registered as right at or ahead of the game in all areas. We will be working with him on exercises to get him comfortable again with taking weight through his legs, he lost that a bit during casting, as well as putting his feet flat on the floor so that when the time comes to stand he'll be comfortable with that.
Today Caedmon and Daddy get to meet with a doctor about getting the Biblical surgical procedure. We were told to put this off until the other things were stabilized since it isn't as important. So, next week sometime our poor little boy will go in again for the next 'surgery' (does it count as surgery?). Poor little guy. It seems like they could have just done it during one of the many times they had him out. Of course, maybe Daddy and Mommy couldn't have handled it very well! For those of you wondering if we even should worry about it, yes, unfortunately, it is highly recommended because Caedmon may yet, at some point in his life, have to catheterize so it is a must.
Next week Caedmon will be visited by his special ed teacher. She will be coming every six weeks also, to evaluate his social and developmental skills.
In two weeks we meet with neurosurgery to make sure his shunt is working properly and he has the right amount of fluid in his ventricles. We'll also make a stop at the Spina Bifida clinic where he will get his general check-ups with the pediatrician and urologist.
Sometimes, looking at all his appointments, I have feelings of being overwhelmed. I had gotten quite comfortable with being a bit of a hermit, locked away in my house, only going out when I wanted to. Now we are forced out, often, with our new baby. But when I get a little low, I remember what it was like just a few months ago, in and out of the hospital, and I'm so happy. Happy we get to all be together in the same house, eating meals, laughing, sharing life. I'm satisfied!

So I have had a lot of requests for men's jewelry. I am definitely not opposed to making masculine jewelry, but I just don't know what guys really like. I want to be able to make everyone happy so here is what I have decided to do...I'm taking special requests for men's jewelry until I can get a feel for what guys like. So if you have something you want throw it my way and I'll see what I can do. I've already had some requests for a cross necklace and a rosary...those are the current projects, so if you have anything else send me a message and try to explain what you want. I'll do the best I can.

Long-Term Bible Studies
Long-term, small group Bible studies are for everyone, and, while it is a commitment of time, there is nothing you will do in the next year that will help you to fully understand God's expectations and wishes for you than to spend 24-34 weeks in the study of God's Word and fellowship with your church family.
Click the "Register" button below each class to register for that class. Contact Rev. Meg Jiunnies for more information.
Disciple I
Disciple 1 is a 30-plus week study of the Bible based on a time-tested curriculum that's brought the serious study of God's word to millions around the world. Using weekly assignments, students will read approximately 70 percent of the Bible during the course. The readings are brought to life each week through stimulating group discussion with other seekers, short videos featuring renown theologians, and contextual lectures on history, geography, archaeology, philosophy, art, textual criticism and much more. Instructor Tucker Mitchell has led Sunday School classes and Bible studies for more than 30 years. This will be his seventh Disciple 1 class. This class requires a significant commitment, but the payoff is far greater. Students gain an appreciation for the richness and continuity of the Bible, and, through shared experience with fellow strivers, develop friendships that last a lifetime.
Led by: Tucker Mitchell
Wednesdays, September 6, 2017 (Introduction Class)-May 30, 2018
6:30-8:30 p.m.

Fast Track Disciple Ii: Into the Word, Into the world
Disciple Fast Track, an adaptation of the original Disciple Bible Study, provides a viable option for busy people seeking comprehensive engagement over time with the entire biblical text. Fast Track groups meet for a total of 24 weeks studying readings from Genesis, Exodus, Luke, and Acts. This study explores how the experiences of life are opportunities for witness and service. Participants read 3-5 chapters of the Bible daily in preparation for the weekly meetings, which last approximately 75 minutes. A brief, illustrated review video enables participants to recall important facts and ideas; lively and engaging video presenters then offer insights into the current week's session.
Led by: Johnny Crouch and Hank Leeke
Starting Wednesday, September 13, 2017-March 28, 2018
6:15-7:45 p.m.

This study is for men of all ages, and there is lively discussion. We'll begin this fall by studying the Gospel of John. Our goal is to become men who can make a difference for Jesus in our world. There is no cost for this study, just bring your Bible!

BENGALURU: Sunil Chhetri, who is fondly called as 'Captain Marvel' by others, goes a bit emotional while summing up yesterday's 1-0 win against the Kyrgyz Republic. The stupendous striker termed this win as 'Our best performance by far in a long time.'
"I'm part of the National Team for more than 10 years. Trust me, I don't remember when did we play such a fantastic brand of football last time."
The Sunil Chhetri-led side lacked the panache in the first 45 minutes and Sunil Chhetri, who earned the MVP award last night for his match-winning performance, revealed, "We got a heavy bashing from the gaffer in the dressing room. Clearly, the situation wasn't an ideal one. That's why, when we came out for the next 45 minutes, it was a changed side, more focused and more promising."
Although his goal made the difference, he denied taking the entire credit for netting the winners against Myanmar as well as the Kyrgyz Republic.
"Last day it was Udanta, tonight it was Jeje- had they not made the scintillating run to feed me with the passes, those goals would haven't seen the daylight. It's not about me, it's about the team."
"My goal might be the cherry at the top but the credit goes to all. Right from Gurpreet, the tenacious defenders, Midfielders- everyone fought to their limit to churn this result", he added.
Sunil divulged more that 'there's nothing bigger than putting on the National Colour.'
"We don't need any extra motivation. We always come out of the dressing room with same hunger. We have to keep improving ourselves to churn out the positive results."
He went on to rate yesterday's goal as a crucial one and he won't mind putting it 'right up there.'
He maintained, "Accumulating the importance of the goal, the timing and where it has come for the team- it'll surely be stacked up right up there. I know, I have said it more often but trust me, this goal has gotten us these three points. It's really huge for us."

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 342581
multiarch conflicts in mecab
Last modified: 2014-03-16 23:10:25 EDT
mecab (or one of its subpacakges) has multiarch conflicts when installed for both i386 and x86_64 in the Fedora development tree. For help in resolving them, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MultilibTricks.
file /etc/mecabrc from install of mecab-0.96-1.fc8.2 conflicts with file from package mecab-0.96-1.fc8.2
file /usr/bin/mecab-config from install of mecab-devel-0.96-1.fc8.2 conflicts with file from package mecab-devel-0.96-1.fc8.2
(Note that this is an automated bug filing.)
It would be nice to have these bugs fixed by the beta of Fedora 9.
This should be fixed, whether by changing the files or changing the packaging.
Please don't expect that mecab(-devel) can be multi-arch installable.
Why not? Hundreds of other apps are.
Similar with hyperestraier, mecab reads text files and creates/reads
something like database files, which are *arch dependent*.
So, for example if
- a package using 32 bit mecab library creates some files
- and another package using 64 bit mecab library reads the files
it is hazardous. So generally mecab isn't multiarch installable.
However, we install devel as multiarch so things can build against the devel
libraries - how does that prevent this?
- I cannot figure out why you want to install two arch devel packages
even if mecab libraries are not multiarch installable.
Any strong rationale, approved by packaging committee?
Moreover, /usr/bin/mecab-config contains the information of
the data used by mecab library installed, not just pointing the
place of the libraries or else.
So I cannot find out any ratiorate for fixing multiarch conflict
even if mecab does not expect multiarch install.
Closing as WONTFIX again for now.
- Please discuss what we should fix for what purpose on some mailing
list first.

I know it seems like forever since I have posted on this blog and I am so sorry!! We have been extremely busy remodeling our kitchen!! It has literally taken up all of my time!! Here are some pictures of my beautiful new kitchen though!!!
Even though there is still a bit of clean up left to do I am trying to get back to our normal routine and we are back to having school lessons this week!!
I wanted to share our fun little craft we did today. I got this idea from http://www.makeandtakes.com/little-apple-yarn-favors. I thought these were just too cute!! We made pumpkins for our home fall decorations and we made little apples for my mother-in-law (the kid's Granny). Her birthday is Saturday but we are having a birthday dinner at our house for her tonight because she will be out of town this weekend. I hope she loves her little apples!
Here are our pumpkins proudly on display on our table (with and pretty glass pumpkin filled with acorn beads and some real miniature pumpkins)
A close up of our cute little pumpkins!!
Here is a close up of Granny's apples!

|Ronda and The Rock (Photo by mrbill5)
Because of this, she is contemplating withdrawal from her sport. Although fans say to shrug off the losses, Rousey is not cut from that kind of silky cloth.
Rough around the edges, Rousey's style is more "winner takes all." This competitive drive has served her well in the past. On the losing end, however, it falls apart.
Support is coming from one who knows all too well the ups and downs of sports: Kobe Bryant. He recently wrote: Instead of clapping for [Rousey's] defeat, give her a standing O for putting the sport on the map.
Now MMA is not for everyone, and many think rightfully so. Nevertheless, an O for Rousey's dedication and determination is certainly due.

We are headed on our first official vacation as a family of four. We've been planning our trip cross country to see my sister for the past 5 months and it is finally here! We booked the flight, secured our accommodations, but what comes next is just exhausting....PACKING!
Due to flight restrictions, we are only allowed one suitcase per person. So we're fine, right? Uh, NO! Let's face it, I'm a woman and I LOVE shoes! That means that one of my son's checked bags will be the best part of my outfits and the two boys will share a suitcase. Under normal circumstances, this would be fine, but the ever changing climate of California has us packing for two very different temperatures. So how do I fit it all in (and not wrinkle it all)?
1) mix and match my clothes
2) use dry cleaning bags in order to reduce wrinkling
3) roll my clothes to save space
I've kept the dressier clothes (dress shirts, dresses, etc,) in the dry cleaning bags that they came home in. The bags keep the clothes from wrinkling even while folded in the suitcase. I rolled my cotton clothing into a tube shape. This helped with the space issue of the clothing...it also helps with less creases when other items are on top of it.

Welcome to the Pahls family blog! Every day brings a new adventure as a family of 5 (soon to be 6)! Please join us on our journey to our son Micah Jeremiah (a.k.a. Sebastian)! Our son just turned 13 years old and is aging out of the orphanage system at the age of 14! We are working very hard to bring him home to show him the love of a Forever Family!
Friday, August 20, 2010
So Blessed!
It's been awhile since we've posted a blog, simply because we've been super busy!! We are making headway on our adoption process - we are immigration bound!! Now we are just waiting on communication to get our fingerprints done again (Yes, again!! They are very thorough!!). So please continue to pray for our adoption journey, specifically that it will be a smooth process from this point on.
Another update for everyone is that I am so proud of our son and daughter!! They have worked hard this summer while working on a Kindergarten "refresher" course so that our son will be ready to go for 1st grade this fall! Well, today we finished our last lesson of the Kindergarten "refresher" material and of course we had to do the "Happy Dance"!! Our son has improved by leaps and bounds this summer, I'm so amazed!! I'm really looking forward to see how he progresses this fall.
Yet, another blessing is we received our curriculum in the mail yesterday. That's big excitement for us, because we rarely get packages sent here. Well, we decided that we should wait for Daddy to come home so he could partake in the fun too! We got a little extra "fun" learning tool for the kids and Mommy and Daddy too! We got a globe, it's so cool! We immediately had to show the kids where China is located and of course our friends in Ethiopia. We had a lot of fun last night, they pointed to each country and asked the name.
Taking on the decision as a family to homeschool has brought us much peace and honor. It's truly a blessing to teach our own children and protect them from this crazy world. It's even more comforting to know that both kids truly are excited about it too! Enjoy the pictures!! They are of "Box Day", Globe - Pointing to China, Children posing at the completion of their last day of Kindergarten "Refresher".
Hug your little ones and have a blessed day!!

The big money makers are white women, especially the stars, followed by white men who do gay porn. Gay for pay is what they call it. This is where men, gay or straight, will perform in a gay movie because the money is that much more than what they would get doing a straight movie. In fact, Jeff Stryker gay movie icon, said that he wouldn't even take his shoes off for the money a straight movie would pay him.
The show doesn't say this, but at the bottom of the porn hierarchal system are black men who do gay movies. These men are known to be the least paid performers and are usually found to be young, scarred and less educated than their peers. So I wasn't really shocked when I met Keyon at Six Flags Great Adventure last September. After all, an amusement park isn't known to be millionaire's row.
Keyon, is the screen name of a brother who works with his twin Teyon. They are porn actors, models whose pictures and movies can be seen on the web. I had seen pictures of them before and recognized him. My friends introduced me to Keyon and I was surprised that he was taller than me by about half an inch. He was also skinny and I noticed his plastic pectoral implants sticking up through his chest and over the edge of his tank top. He was dressed in clothes that were inexpensive but clean and his skin seemed smooth but with some acne that young people are prone to. He had about him a sense of youth and false confidence that made him attractive and would appeal to people of his own age. I watched him go as he was surrounded by a group of three or four people who were dressed similarly to him and I got the impression that none of them had any money. Although, I guess that was about to change.
I saw on the local news this week that they had caught the rooftop burglars who had plagued towns in South Jersey, Delaware and the city of Philadelphia. It was believed that there were about 35 convenience stores broken into. The culprits had climbed on to the rooftops of these stores and cut holes in them. They had then lowered themselves in the stores. Stolen cigarettes and beer and broken into the stores' ATMs. The TV showed the pictures of the people who were arrested, and there was Keyon and his brother.
Of course everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but the porn industry really must not pay its black performers if they have to turn to crime in order to make a living. It's just like the scene out of Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg. I guess the positions in front of the camera must not be full time positions where you feed your family and build up your 401k for the days when you can no longer get up an erection.
Of course you don't have to do porn to commit a crime, but if the boys should be sent to prison, will the good times really begin there and if they do, who will enjoy it more, the boys or their fellow inmates?

I laid out the squares and immediately felt uncomfy...I laid out all of them...perhaps I'm being silly. I asked Kris (see I was desperate..."I hate it" said he..."please don't say its for us" and "did you choose that fabric?"). That made me feel good... not. Now I would also like to point out that I do not like making things I hate, even if they are to give away :).
I've removed the offending stripy fabric...it really did not go, but something is still not right. I think I may take out the monkeys and multi-coloured circles. At the moment its lying on the spare room floor. Hopefully I will be able to salvage something out of it.
Oh well, at least i got some painting done.
Hugs to all,

I think natural linen color would go perfectly to it, like the open spaces in the picture. I think the rest goes in very well! Good luck with figuring out.ReplyDelete
I think Simone is onto something! The colors are fantastic!ReplyDelete
Hi Sharon,ReplyDelete
I'm sure you'll figure out just what to do.
I'd also be more inclined to go for a neutral colour!
Sometimes "less is best"
Happy creating,
Hi sweetie!ReplyDelete
Have you tried it without the very bright turqoise/lime green dotty patterned fabric? Then like Simone says, add some neutrals? I love the monkeys!! And I love the colours! Liam will love snuggling up with all those textures!!! Don't give up sweetie - where there is a will there is a way, things never come together for me first time, it always takes a while of swapping and changing to get comfortable with a project.
Hugs!! Vikki xoxo

On May 20, 2013 an EF5 tornado
(The largest category there is in strength of a tornado)
Ripped through Moore, Oklahoma.
An elementary school directly in its path was no exception to the destruction.
6 children and 1 teacher- victim to the violent storm.
A total of 23 fatalities and injuring around 377 others,
Moore was again faced with loss.
In 1999 there was an even deadlier tornado that had struck the area.
This was a reminder of how quickly life can shift and move us from the security of day-to-day monotony
to appreciating just having our love ones near us.
This is Moore before the tornado-
The neighborhood around the school and the school itself.
The area after likened to a bomb going off.
When my friend asked if I would like to join a mission going to help Moore in July,
I said "yes" with no hesitation.
By the time we arrived most of the clean up was complete and they were starting the rebuilding process.
Volunteers and churches and organizations joining together rapidly to meet the needs of a desperate community.
Homes, schools and businesses all looking at the blank slate that once held dreams and hopes and love and memories and valuable possessions.
Now…it held rubble and shattered lives.
And yet-
The stories told today are about hope!
There are families who are eager to come to share with volunteers and the community these valuable lessons and messages.
An amazing organization gathers these
Survivors and families of victims
To spread word of the good that has come and the everlasting hope only they can effectively pass on.
They come out in the evening to give love to the same people who
Come from all over the states
To donate time and money and a shoulder …
But the thing is,
The volunteers and missionaries
Are the ones receiving hope.
From people who have lost children and homes.
That organization is one of the most profound I have been privy to.
Then there is the heartbeat of all the volunteer effort,
Serve Moore.
This is a group of churches in the community that joined together to organize all of the volunteer efforts and donations.
A major undertaking,
I feel this was key to making sure the clean up and re-building is most productive.
Moore is in need still of volunteers when it comes to rebuilding.
This will be a major effort because of the fact that so much has been destroyed.
I was most touched by the people who are able to take the time to really get their hands dirty and don't ask anything other than "where do you want me?"
There is so much to be learned from these disasters.
First and foremost is the fact that
the "stuff" in our lives is just that –
When it comes down to it,
you would want to know your loved ones are safe.
Love is the most important part of life
And the thing we most often take for granted.
Moore is just one area of our world that needs our help,
This was eye opening in how long it really does take to get back to "normal."
So if you have time to help somewhere
(Anywhere) that has been touched by
I encourage you to look into the needs of that community.
If there was a voice to speak on behalf of Moore,
I believe it would say
"Don't define me by this tornado.
Look at our community coming together as an example.
We will re-build and keep moving forward.
We will mourn our losses
but we will also look at their lives as shining beacons- no matter how short.
There is a message here-
It's one of hope and love and
Strength in coming together for support and that shoulder when needed.
But ultimately in giving our gifts away to help someone else in need-
Even when we are in need ourselves."

We had another wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. We have some great traditions and it's always the beginning of the Christmas season. (My all time favorite!) This year was our first holiday coming from out of town. We have never experinced that before. We came to my parents Wednesday night to spend time with them and prepare for the big game the next morning. Since I was in highschool my family played football with the McKinney family. Of course we LOVED that because I got to see Jason on Thanksgiving! :) We have continued that on through the years and it's one of my favorites! It was especially fun this year as the kids were old enough to play and almost get it. It was still pretty comical watching them play and trying to get them to run in the right direction or not pull their own team mates flag. But they loved it and I loved doing it with them!
After football we went back and got cleaned up and took a quick nap. Our next tradition is dinner at Aunt Boo's. She is a wonderful cook and spends days preparing a delicious food for all of us. She also loves my parents(and the love her) and always invites my family to Thanksgiving dinner also. She is so sweet to include everyone. I like that way, we can spend the holiday with both sides without running all over the place! We are thankful for Aunt Boo and her generosity and love!
Jason had to head back to McCall Thursday night, which was a little bit of a bummer but at least we were all together for the holiday. I stayed behind with the kids so that I can do my FAVORITE part of the weekend - BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING! Yay!! Sheila and I have had a tradition for years now going to Boise and shopping until we literally drop! We start at about 7 and go until 10. We look forward to it every year and love the fun girl time all alone! Usually Jason watches the kids but on his new crew they work on Fridays so I was out a babysitter. But my Mom saved the day and watched the kiddos for me. I was very thankful for that! I went home Saturday afternoon to spend the rest of the weekend with the hubby. It was nice to have a fun weekend in town and finish it off with my family!

27 to go
I was just updating my reading list for 2009. I'm working though the 100+ Challenge and I realised I have 27 to go. 27 left and just over 2 months...eek! I'm not sure I can do it. I've been struggling off and on with the "do I read it because it's quick, or do I read it because I love it?" notion this year. Too bad I'm not counting the stories I read to my boys because I'd be way over 100 just with theirs already. Anyways, I've leaned more towards the "reading because I want to" rather than "reading because it's quick" side of things. I really do hope I make it though.

Here are the before walls. I took as much of the wall as I could get in the photos. This room is only 5'x6' not including the tub so it's very, very tiny.
WARNING - Very nasty looking photos are following - nothing pretty here.
Well today arrived and so did my contractor. I was so excited even though I knew I'd be without my bathroom for 7-9 days. He first removed the sink, toilet and tub. Repaired and updated some of the plumbing, especially since our cutoff valves to the sink and toilet decided to malfunction, leaking water all over the floor!
Now, he promises to return tomorrow and I'm praying that he does. I don't think me and my husband could put this room back together. I'll be back soon with Day 2 photos.

Albany, N.Y. - Three UAlbany players tallied in the first half en route to a 4-0 shutout win over Delaware in non-conference field hockey action Sunday afternoon. The Great Danes and Blue Hens faced off in the second annual "Stick it to Cancer" fundraiser and clinic event by UAlbany field hockey, which supports both the Luke Romano Fund and the National Foundation for Cancer Research.
In the eleventh minute of the game senior forward Christina Patrick received a quick rebound pass from teammate Daphne Voormolen to put away her 13th goal on the season and fifth game winning goal on the year. Over the next 15 minutes the Blue Hens would take a few shots, but none hit the target. Regaining possession, the Great Danes converted on a long shot from Taylor Luke as Nina Walters threw her stick in front of the shot, tipping it high for her third goal this season.
UAlbany (12-5, 2-1 AE) converted on an awarded penalty stroke late in the first half to hold a 3-0 lead going into halftime. Corrine McConville made the tally, moving to 3-for-4 in penalty strokes on the season. Katharina Helling added the final goal in the game in the 55th minute as she found a loose ball in front, putting it into the high right corner.
"Very good team effort today, as we had great ball movement and solid defense," said UAlbany Head Coach Phil Sykes. "Delaware is a strong team, we were fortunate to score four goals. We hope to keep this momentum into next weekend's conference game at Boston U."
UAlbany goalkeeper Redshirt freshman Sammie Rimback made her first start this season and completed the shutout for the Great Danes with four saves. UAlbany has now shutout their opponents for the last 245 minutes and 21 seconds of play.
Delaware (6-9) goalkeeper Noelle Diana made eight saves in the loss. The Blue Hens totaled for eight shots, with only four falling on target.
The Great Danes completed a four-game homestead with four shutout victories. The team will travel to Boston U. next Saturday, October 23rd for a 3:00 p.m. start as they look for another conference game victory.

Shut Up!
My son has been complaining about his math teacher shouting those words all the time. He said that she uses it on everyone, and many times throughout their math class. He does not like it at all.
I am a little disturbed by it too. I have told my kids not to use those words as it is rude. What more a teacher using those words? Cant she use: "Be quiet", "No noise please", "Stop talking", "silence" or just "Stop it"?? Or simply stare at the child until he stops talking? ... that killer look works, you know?. I think using "shut up" too frequently loses its effect. (Hmm, maybe that's why she is a math teacher - has limited vocab ..haha... couldnt resist it. Sorry!).
My daughter tells me that "shut up" is the new "be quiet" as her teacher sometimes says "Please, shut up". Can you beat that??
I believe that "shut up" should be used sparingly, and only by the truly exasperated, frustrated, fuming mad mum that is at wits end!! ....ok, and only maybe sometimes by the teacher too!

Reminds me. Used to have teachers that use words lie "stupid"...
Do you think it's appropriate?

That is so inappropriate! We weren't allowed to say shut up to each other, let alone the teacher saying it to us.

"Shut up" is too direct and abrupt. I guess that's why it sounds rude. I had a more tactful teacher who said, "You talk faster than you think." (Not directed at me, of course.) And the phrase was just as effective as "shut up".

Sigh, if the teacher uses it, the student would learn it. Definitely a NO-NO

No, this word should not be used on children.
Till today, my daughter still doesn't use the word shut up because I brought them up to think that is a rude word. :)
So, yes, teachers are not being good examples if they use that word in front of children.

"Shut up please" is a new one, but oh dear, that doesn't make "shut up" sound any better, not at all. Could it be that the teachers are highly stressed?

In the wake of recent fires, the Oak Bluffs Fire Department and Ambulance Service described the following potential winter fire hazards, and provided a list of safety tips intended to have a fire-safe home this season:
Inspect wood stove and fireplace chimneys annually and clean if necessary, a press release advised. The stove should be allowed to burn hot for 15 to 30 minutes regularly to avoid creosote buildup.
Be sure your fireplace fire is out before you go to sleep. Never close a damper with hot ashes in the fireplace. A closed damper can help rekindle the fire, forcing toxic carbon monoxide into the house.
Be sure all furnace controls and emergency shut offs are in proper working order. Have your furnace inspected and repaired by a qualified specialist.
Keep exhaust vents clear of snow and debris. Blocked vents can cause dangerous gases to backup into the house.
Be certain your kerosene heater is in good working condition. Inspect exhaust parts for carbon build up. Be sure the heater has an emergency shut off in case the heater is tipped over.
Never use fuel-burning appliances without proper room ventilation. Fossil fuels such as coal, kerosene, or propane can produce deadly fumes.
Keep young children away from space heaters, especially when they are wearing loose fitting clothing that can easily be ignited.
Make sure that every level in your home has working smoke and CO2 alarms, and be sure to clean them and change their batteries at least twice a year. Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that can cause serious injury, even death.
In the event of a fire, everyone should get out of the house immediately and call 911 from outside. Never go back inside a burning house to retrieve personal items or pets.
Contact your local fire department for advice or with questions on fire safety. Call the Oak Bluffs Fire Department and Ambulance Service for more information at 508-693-0077 or 508-693-5380.

We've given you plenty of tips for making a move easier, but how about taking the edge off a little more? It's all about the little things, implementing as much multi-purpose and McGuyver-esque assessing and crafting as you can. These moving hacks are tried and true quick and easy ways to pack and move.
Moving Hacks for an Easy Move
Trash bag suitcase
For all those nice button-up shirts and jackets you don't want to fold and wrinkle, carrying them with you when you move without dropping or ruining them can be tricky. Plus, carrying all of them at once is a dreaded experience. Try this on for size:
- Grab a normal trash bag.
- Pull the bag over as many hangered shirts as possible.
- Make sure the hangers are outside of the top of the bag.
- Wrap the trash bag ties around the hanger hooks, so the bag essentially stays closed and holds them in all in place—still on their hangers.
Voila! Now you have all your hung up clothes safe and protected for travel.
Cling wrap your drawers
Now, you don't have to take out all of your clothes or take your drawers apart completely. Just take some normal plastic cling wrap out of your kitchen, and follow these simple steps:
- Make sure all your drawers are shut completely.
- Unravel as much plastic wrap as you need. Don't stop until the job's done.
- Wrap it around your dresser or plastic drawers unit multiple times to make sure the drawers are secure and won't budge.
- Make sure the plastic wrap is secured tightly.
That's it. Simple as ever. These moving hacks are moving done easy.
Plastic wrap your potentially leaky bottles
The last thing you want in your already high-stress move is your expensive lotion spilling out all over your expensive electronics. There are many bumps and movements in the back of your moving truck, so anything can happen. Try pulling out that plastic wrap again for plastic wrap moving hacks.
- Unscrew the lid of your lotion, shampoo, or soap.
- Place the plastic wrap over the hole and tightly secure it down.
- Screw the lid back on over the plastic wrap.
Go ahead and try to pour it out. It'll stay in place for the duration of the move.
Keep everything together
Let's say you have to take something apart. Something that involves tiny metal pieces like nuts, bolts, screws and washers. When you take apart that appliance or piece of furniture or giant piece of art, make sure you never separate the appropriate pieces.
- Put the small pieces in a plastic sandwich bag.
- Grab some tape to attach the smaller pieces in the bag securely to the larger box.
- Never separate them again.
At that point, once you unpack, you don't have to worry about where anything is. Everything's in one place, ready to be put back together again.
This trick also works with easily lost items like TV remotes or gaming controllers. KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
Pack clean clothes wherever you can
Moving hacks are good for two things: convenience and security. This next tip covers both of those. Try packing your dishes vertically in a box with some t-shirts and socks packed between each dish. This is actually a sure-fire way to keep dishes from breaking.
You can try this with just about any fragile object. Pack your clothes intermittently to double down on your clothes packing, as well as protecting your fragiles.
The Best Moving Hack of All
What is the quickest and easiest way to pack and move? Not doing anything at all. That's right, there are moving hacks for quick and easy ways to pack and move, and then there's not having to lift a finger because you hired Red Carpet Moving Company. We are the best way to ensure that your items are packed efficiently and safely and that they will arrive safely. Give us a call when you start planning your next move.

Quotes For Today
"War is now considered a legitimate reaction against terrorist strikes."
"The U.S. government's response to September 11 has actually privileged terrorism. It has given it a huge impetus, and made it look like terrorism is the only effective way to be heard. Over the years, every kind of nonviolent resistance movement has been crushed, ignored, kicked aside. But if you're a terrorist, you have a great chance of being negotiated with, of being on TV, of getting all the attention you couldn't have dreamt of earlier."
"We can't ever abandon our personal quest for joy and beauty and gentleness."

When I wrote this book, I never could have imagined just how much fun a silly book could be until my granddaughter turned 3. Now that "Are You My Mother?" and a "Super Silly Alphabet" have run their course, "Now That's Just Silly!" has won her over with giggles and laughter. At any given time, she'll point out the "speck on her neck" or the "bee on her knee" and we eventually end up with tickles and hugs. If you've not yet discovered this fun little storybook with your toddler, check it out and ENJOY!
Though we're still working on creating shapes and exploring colors with crayons, paint and coloring pencils, I hope to eventually introduce little Maryann to the world of digital character drawing. She's already practicing with her tablet apps so I suspect she'll already have some of the "basics" down before we try it on the big computer screen. Every day is a truly a new creative adventure and half the fun of creating anything we make is sharing it with others. Happy drawing!

Hi everyone,
Today I will be talking briefly about Dystopian Wars. This is one of the games I have branched into after the discontinuation of GW's Specialist Games section.
At first I only bought the airborne range of miniatures from the Covenant of Antarctica [COA] faction. This was due to the fact that two of my friends and I are fans of Last Exile, and we wanted to play a steam punk game in a similar vein to that anime. See my three Daedalus flyers' entries for more info.
Lately though, Dystopian Wars has caught up big time at my local gaming club, so I decided to buy the naval starter set for COA and join the fun. I chose COA on the same principle that I choose all my armies and factions - ie whether or not I like the minis.
It doesn't matter if the army or faction is good or bad in game terms, or if they suit my style of gaming. If I like the miniatures - I collect the army. And so it was with COA.
Unfortunately, after reading the rules a bit better and going through the army lists to get a feel for the other armies, I have to say that COA are not really my cup of tea where gaming is concerned. I am a very aggressive player normally and I always go for factions that like to get up close quickly. COA do not fit this profile. This means I will have to adapt and be creative - it will be a challenge.
What I don't understand about COA is how much the army list does not fit in with the fluff. According to the background, COA possess advanced tech that is unavailable to the rest of the world. One would think that their ships would be overall better but more expensive that the other factions - but this is not so. From what I can gleam they are not particularly faster or durable than other nation's ships, nor do they possess better fire power or survivability.
To be honest they do have gizmos that give them some advantages like teleportation and generators but not much more. They do have energy weapons but from what I could tell they are rather useless after the first turn when the enemy pass range band four.
We will just have to wait and see. I will be in a better position to judge after I have played several games, but I have a feeling I will be loosing many more games than I will be winning!
Well, that is all for today, I will be posting my first painted minis in two or three days.
Until then farewell and good health.

This post is almost 2 weeks late, but it takes me a while to get pictures downloaded to my computer, and I didn't do it until today. So here's pics of Bailee's 6th b-day on February 13!! I can't believe she's growing so fast!
She loves to help make her cake. We made a pink cake with pink frosting, and lots of heart candies!
Trin got a nice soft cuddly robe for Christmas, and Bailee always wanted to wear it. So she asked for her own robe for her birthday. Her wish came true!
We let Bailee pick a fun place she wanted to go on her birthday, so after opening presents, we went to Jumpin' Jacks near Jordan Landing. We played there for about an hour, then came home for cake!!

Does she always want to help in the kitchen? I think that is great she wanted to help with her own cake. I think it makes it more special that way. She is so darling and I love hearing her talk to the boys in the car, she totally can take them if she wanted, plus she has them all wrapped aroung her finger. They all fight about who gets to sit by her plus they all defend her. It's funny. Are they like that when you drive?

Please pray for Coy, as he is home sick w/strep throat. He was up in the night w/a belly ache & sore throat. He has thrown up about 7 times this morning. A rapid strep test at the Minute Clinic confirmed my mom/nursing diagnosis. On a side note--did you all know that Publix fills most antibiotics for FREE. We just got back from picking up his meds, and he took his 1st dose. He's now asleep on the couch. I am about to join him, I worked last night.
Please also pray that Seth doesn't get it. Tomorrow is his birthday. Thanks :0)

Here are the beads I recieved for my first bead swap: I love the silver and black glass donut and all the supporting beads. The carved glass beads with the silver spider-like design are both beautiful and challenging!
The black glass carved rectangles with gold will be set aside for another project. Also included were silver spacers, black glass beads, and extra large silver seed beads!
I decided to add a pale amethyst crystal and pale amethyst seed beads as an accent color. These will be fun to create with, and also cause me to work outside my comfort zone. There are lots of possible alternate colors I could have added - Leave me a comment and let me know what you would use with this set of swap beads!?
