This is what happens when I leave the digital camera in the car. At least I think that's where I left it. I haven't really spent alot of time looking around the house for it. It's a good thing web-cams are so much fun!!
I waited too long to order Hello Kitty party hats for this weekend. Looks like everyone is off the hook after all! Unless I get crafty.
So, it's warm and sunny here and Indianapolis got 5 inches of snow today. Doesn't seem right! First full day of Spring and they get the white stuffs. Yankees...

Just came back from work. Yes! on a Sat. Whatever! I plan to enjoy the rest of my weekend. My best friend just called me to tell me that she was the 1000th person to click on my blog. A big thank you to my blog friends who have been reading my posts so far. My blog counter boasts the number 1030 today. Makes me so happy. Please keep reading and do comment. It keeps me motivated and encouraged. Motivation is important as it wipes out the fear of success. Milestones are concrete evidence of progress. They are primary checkpoints to see how well you are doing. The lack of objectives and milestones will undoubtedly lead to inactivity, a state that we often naturally derive to, whether intentionally or not. Both personally and professionally. Blogging is a new discovery for me and I am enjoying it thoroughly. I started my blog on an experimental basis. I was procrastinating starting a blog for the fear of getting into something really hard to attain. When I found out that creating a blog only took 5 minutes, my joy knew no bounds. Now, I am on a roll. Every project can be measured by milestones. Little milestones lead to an ultimate goal. I am setting my next milestone to be 2000. Friends, will you help me get there? I really hope so.
Hello, Satsriakaal, Namashkaar, Vanakkam, Kem Cho, Baagunnara, Assalaam Valekhumm! Yeh hai Mayanagari!!! High time I spoke about myself and my interests!!! The world can take a backseat.

This is the start of my third attempt at national novel writing month, where I try to crank out 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days. That's an average of 1666.66 or something words a day for the next 30 days. After that, the month of November that is, I'm going to switch the focus of the blog to my bike commuting. I just can't write about life at school, not without burning every bridge and pissing off every colleague and then some. Maybe if I was anonymous, like Bitch Ph.D. or something, or Confessions of a Community College Dean. I'm assuming both are anonymous, but who knows. And just so you know, I'm not the person who is at the center of this novel, real or imagined. Anyway, here's the first installment of the novel:
If this bed was more comfortable, I probably wouldn't mind being laid up in the hospital, but the bed isn't comfortable, so I mind it. Plus, the nurses, especially the darky, they keep prodding and poking me. I don't like it when that darky touches me, pinches my skin to stick in a needle, grabs my arm to wrap the blood pressure cuff around it.. The other nurses are okay, at least the registered nurses, but their helpers, NACs they call them, seem like a bunch of daft idiots. That's what the darky is, a NAC. Guess she's not smart enough to be a real nurse. Figures.
Laying in this bed with a busted hip is hard on an old man like myself. If that damn Bob, shithead of a neighbor hadn't been badgering me and the Junior to get the house repaired, none of this would have happened. We got it painted, and put a new roof on, but that wasn't good enough for him. He wanted the yard cleaned up, my scaffolds taken down, and the porch fixed too. I don't know why he gives a damn about my house, but if we weren't working so hard to make him happy, spending money I don't have or don't want to spend on the house, none of this would have happened. Pisses me off. If I wasn't laid up with this hip, I'd knock on his door and spit in his face. But the other neighbors like me, so maybe I ought not get too mad at the one. He'll get his in due time, in due time.
I broke the hip when I fell carrying some of the timber from the yard. The city told us we had to clean it up, so the Junior, Hank Jr., brought his truck and we started loading it up. For being over 80, I was pulling my weight, hauling the wood and humping it up into the truck bed. Just like being a kid on the farm, bringing in the wheat and hay. Then I slipped, or something, and fell on my hip. It hurt like hell, still does even while I'm laid up here in the hospital. Now I'm going to have to pay for that too, along with the house getting fixed. Junior will have to do the work without me for now. He'll do okay, won't mess it up too much, even though it took him four months to get the new roof on. After that, he got up a head of steam and painted most of the house a nice, new white. I like the white, nice and clean and pure looking. He's planning on having the whole thing done up nice by the spring. If it weren't for this busted hip of mine, it might have been done in the next few weeks, but not now. Not with me laid up in the hospital.
Another reason I hate this hospital is all the Jew doctors. Seems like everyone of them is a Jew, even in this Cath'lic hospital. I don't know why so many of them come to be doctors. I guess to lord it over folks like me when we get hurt. They're getting back at us for that so-called holocaust business. I've never believed that crap about Hitler trying to wipe them out during that war. Bunch of crap. But when they come in, I just smile and answer their questions, not wanting to know what I think of that business. The way they work with the Cath'lics makes me think them and the Pope are in this together, telling their stories to make the rest of us feel guilty, like it was our fault or something. Fuck them. Fuck all of them. I never had a good thought about them Jews or Cath'lics, and that's how it should be with that group of bloodsuckers.
That fucking Bob is a Cath'lic, teaching at that Cath'lic university. Probably teaching religion or something, some shit about that anti-Christ Pope of his to them dumb students. It was him who called the city about the house, saying we had to get it fixed up, painted, put a new roof on because it was attracting troublemakers to the neighborhood. He's the fucking troublemaker. We was getting on just fine before he started poking his nose into our business. I'd been living in the neighborhood since before he was born, since before it was a neighborhood. He thinks that living here, living across the street from us for 20 years gives him the right to poke into our business, thinking he can make everyone in the neighborhood do his bidding. Son of a bitch needs to mind his own business.
But it's too late for that. The city's involved and telling us what to do. First they told us to fix the roof and we did that, but like I said, that wasn't good enough for them or fucking Bob across the street. They were complaining about the tarps we had covering the leaks, keeping out the rain and melting snow. I gotta admit Junior did a good job and the new roof looks fine. Almost makes me wonder why we waited so long. Then he told me how much he had to spend and I understood. I don't like spending money when I don't have to, but this time I had to if I was gonna get those people off my back.
After that they wanted us to paint the house. It needed it, kinda anyway, so we did that too. First the boy and some of his work crew scraped away the old slough and sprayed on some clean, white paint. It looks pretty good. At least the parts that were painted. The porch needs shoring up, so that didn't get painted. Junior, the boy, he's getting ready to put some concrete footings in to hold up the porch. Even got some rebar laid down and framed in before I busted my hip. I'm guessing that stuff's just sitting there now that I'm laid up. As good as the boy can be, if I'm not there telling him what to do, ain't nothing gonna happen.
Problem is that Bob's smart, cunning anyway. Somehow he found out that we hadn't paid some taxes, that the city had put a lien on the house. I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay them for something I don't use. We were grandfathered in when they put in the sewers back in the 1950s because we didn't want their water. We got a well and it draws fine. Just because I'm giving them water back through the toilet and drain, they want me to pay for the sewer. They should be thanking me for the free water I put into their system before they clean up the shit and dump it back in the river.. And I haven't had them pick up my garbage ever. Just burn it in the furnace. Heats the house at the same time. But that Bob went and dug all this up even though its none of his fucking business. Had to go and stick his nose into our business. Fucking Cath'lics.
He's also been complaining about the yard to the city and because of that, the city drug us into some meetings, putting timetables on us. They keep telling us to come up with a plan and a schedule so they can approve it. But those city officials is a bunch of idiots. All we gotta do is say we'll do what we can, then do something, and then they call us into another meeting, and we go through the dance again. Maybe they get us to do some work, but on our schedule, not theirs. They cant tell the Purce family what to do, not as long as I can have my say. Ah, that fucking nurse's aid, whatever the hell she is, is coming back. Damn.
"Good morning Mr. Purce. I'm just hear to check your vitals. How are you today? I'll just push cart around the side of your bed so I can get to your arm for your blood pressure and to take your temp."
"Doing alright I guess. Hip's kinda hurting. How come you gotta keep coming in so often to squeeze my arm with that thing? Don't seem my blood pressure should go up and down that much in a few hours."
"We just want to make sure you're doing okay Mr. Purce. Let me have that arm so I can wrap this around and see how you're doing. Gotta take your temperature too."
I didn't like that damn probe stuck in my mouth, or that clamp on my thumb, to check my heart, but what can I say. If I make a fuss about that darky touching me, no telling what might happen. God, she makes my skin crawl. Thank God she don't touch that cover for the probe, just sticks the probe in the box and takes out a cover and stuffs it under my tongue. Then she plops it straight into the garbage bag on her cart.
"Ninety-seven point eight," she says as she pulls the thermometer out. "Blood pressure and heart are looking good too" she says while writing the information down on a sheet of paper. "Is there anything I can do for you before I head out?"
"No," I said. "No thanks." I couldn't wait for her to get out of the room, to breath again once her fat ass pushed that cart into the hall, having pulled the drape around the bed so I could have some privacy, not having all those nurses and others looking in and wondering who's that old man in there and what's wrong with him. Thank God I was in a private room, though I don't know why. I don't have any insurance. I couldn't stand having someone else's family and friends traipsing in and out of here, getting in my way, interrupting what little sleep you can get in this place. I guess the boy must have talked to them about paying cash. Don't know where he'll get it, not from me, that's for sure. I'm not giving him a penny. It's his fault I'm in here. I would have just as soon let the house alone rather than spending all that time and money on it. It'll outlast me no matter.

L.A. Fashiona.
When I was growing up our parents heard no louder screams of disappointment than when they announced we would be traveling to see our family. Because in my big family, trips to grandmas didn't mean a 15 min drive down the road it meant a two and a half hour flight to California or a 16 hour drive to Atlanta. But now that all the kids are grown we kinda love the excuse to take a little vacay to Cali and say its in the name of visiting family.
My big sis, momma, and I headed to Los Angeles, California last month to celebrate my maternal grandmother's retirement from the University of Southern California. So here's a little look book of what I was strutting and a few of the great fashion places I visited in the great land of palm trees.
First stop was the great Nike shop at the famous Grove Shopping center in Los Angeles.
The store was just relocated and redesigned and it is looking sweet, housing three floors of beautiful Nike sneaks and cool apparel.
I didn't snag a pair of sneaks while I was there, but I couldn't help but try on a few pairs. The crowd favorite was easily the off-white Roshe Ones.
The next great event slash kind of the whole reason when went to Cali, was the retirement celebration for my grandmother. At seventy-eight years old and with three prior attempts, my grandmother finally retired from USC after 10 years of teaching in the School of Education.
So to honor such an incredible and inspiring woman, I went with a tweed pastel and yellow striped dress with a pair of simple mustard yellow pumps.
Something my sis and I love to do when we go to Cali is take a hike. This time we joined her best friend from college and her little sis for a little double sister date and a hike at Griffith Park.
Because it was mid May and the weather still had its chill bursts, I wore my older cousin's graphic Adidas hoodie with a pair of her black tights.
With my late grandfather being a pastor, you best believe my family woke up at 7:30 am to attend 8 am church service on Sunday morning.
To church I paired my sister's army green leather pencil skirt with a plain white fitted tank top. And I draped the whole look with a white and black accented short kimono. And on my feet I went with my momma's chunky light brown heels.
And like any black church-going family, we of course followed up service with a little bar-b-que at my aunt and uncle's house out in the Valley.
To the family cookout I wore a thin blue and white striped t-shirt with high-waisted black jean shorts, strappy black sandals, and a denim long sleeve to tight it all it all together.
I have twelve cousins on my momma's side and with nine of them currently living in Cali my sis and I couldn't leave without spending some time with a few of them.
Our departing flight didn't take off until 7 pm, so we headed to Abbott Kinney, grabbed some lunch, did a little shopping, and got some fancy ice cream for our little cousin hangout time.
Abbott Kinney is a super cute street near Venice beach with tons of little shops, restaurants and food trucks.
There was a nice cool breeze our last day so I went with a Cali inspired graphic tank top and a thin stripped charcoal and brown sweater with a pair of black cut off shorts and my black strappy sandals again.
With a great mix of family time, shopping, adventure and yummy food, Cali was a great success.

To Fly Like a Bird...
By Collections Curator Ruth Bitner
February 2004
Vallevand seated in ornithopter
WDM Archives
Ralph Vallevand of Elbow, Saskatchewan dreamed of flying like a
bird. In true pioneer spirit, he set about to build a machine
that would make his dream a reality. His retirement in the early
1990s gave him the time he needed to develop his plans.
Vallevand was not alone. For hundreds of years, humans have longed for the freedom of birds. In the 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated with the idea of human-powered flight and produced a design for such a machine. Many others followed, designing their own flying machines, or ornithopters, with flapping wings. None, however, were successful.

A carpenter by trade, Vallevand had the woodworking skills to
create his dream machine. He studied airplane construction and
spent many hours observing the wing action of birds in flight.
He understood that a bird's wings push slightly backward as well
as flapping up and down. Vallevand applied this knowledge to the
design of his craft.
Working with lightweight, knot-free Sitka spruce, Vallevand designed his machine to simulate this movement.
wings with fabric "feathers"
WDM Archives
A clever hinge arrangement using a series of bungee cords was used to create the flapping motion. The wings were covered with strips of cloth which acted as feathers, opening and closing with the wing movement. A cage affair was designed for the operator.
Vallevand's ornithopter had a wingspan of 16.15 metres and
weighed only 68 kg. It was assembled for viewing in the Elbow
hockey rink. The delicate machine attracted considerable local
attention, however, its ability to fly was never tested.
Vallevand himself commented, "I wouldn't want to be the test
While the machine may or may not have been successful in flight, Vallevand is an example of the Saskatchewan tradition of invention, innovation and the spirit of independent adventure.
Only a year after the Wright Brothers historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903, William Gibson, known as the "bird man of Balgonie" began experimenting with flying machines. He later moved to British Columbia and built his own airplane engine, making a successful flight in 1910. Bob St. Henry made Saskatchewan's first heavier-than-air flight in 1911. And our province boasted the first licensed commercial pilot, the first licensed air engineer, the first licensed commercial aircraft and the first licensed aerodrome (airport) in Canada.

Ralph Vallevand donated both a model of his ornithopter and the actual machine to the Western Development Museum in 2001. Repairs were done by a group of aviation enthusiasts before the machine was put on exhibit in the Saskatoon WDM in 2002. Sadly, Vallevand did not live to see it on display. However, he will long be remembered for his creative spirit and the pursuit of his dream.

The GB quartet, skipped by David Murdoch, failed to secure an automatic place in the semi-finals after sliding to a 9-5 defeat by Norway in their final round-robin match.
That left them tied with Sweden with five wins and four defeats from the nine-match qualifying phase, which means the two teams must play off for the last remaining place in the semi-finals. Canada, Norway and Switzerland have already qualified.
Sweden defeated Britain 6-4 when they met on the opening day of the Winter Olympics tournament.
Whoever wins the tie-breaker will then face a tough challenge against in-form Canada in Thursday's semi-finals. The hosts are the only team to come through the round robins with a 100 per cent winning record.
The one comfort for Murdoch, should he overcome Sweden, is that he has an excellent record against Canadian skip Kevin Martin, having beaten him three times on his way to winning the world title in Moncton last year.
But Murdoch will need to rediscover his touch after an off-colour performance against the Norwegians, who stole a two to take early control of the match. Murdoch gave up another steal of three in the seventh end before conceding after the eighth.
"I am pretty disappointed with that to be honest," said Murdoch. "It was a great opportunity for us and we didn't take it. We played some great ends there but we just had some slack shots. The score didn't reflect the game."
After their defeat, the British players faced an anxious wait as Sweden, needing to beat Denmark to force a tie-breaker, were taken down to the wire by their Scandinavian neighbours before Swedish skip Niklas Edin secured a 7-6 victory with his final stone.
"So now we play Sweden and we just have to see it as another game," said Murdoch. "At least we are not out of it - that's the main thing. Hopefully. we will win that game.
"If we win we would play Canada. We like playing them. It always brings the best out in us. It is not something we are scared of and if we played Kevin it would be one almighty game."

LONDON – Polls have opened in Britain for a referendum on whether the country should quit the European Union bloc it joined 43 years ago.
More than 46 million people are registered to vote in Thursday's plebiscite, which asks: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"
Polls are open until 10 p.m. (2100GMT), with results due early Friday.
The referendum has exposed deep divisions over issues including sovereignty and national identity.
"Leave" campaigners claim that only a British exit can restore power to Parliament and control immigration. The "remain" campaign led by Prime Minister David Cameron argues that Britain is safer and richer inside the 28-nation EU.
Financial markets have been volatile ahead of the vote, as opinion polls suggested a tight race.

Why Pregnant Women should get the Flu shot
Because the flu or influenza is a serious illness and your baby is at risk! Influenza, otherwise known as flu, is an infectious disease that could cause severe complications to pregnant women. Whether you have a healthy or a risky pregnancy, contracting influenza during this time might have detrimental health implications. Possible complications include premature labour, miscarriage and the need for an urgent caesarean delivery.
If you contract flu while pregnant, chances of hospitalisation are high. In the worst-case scenario, women might lose their life to the infection. Although pregnant women are at greater risk of developing these complications, non-pregnant women also ought to contact their doctors as soon as possible as treatment with antiviral medication may be indicated.
Flu vaccination is safe and free for pregnant women
The best way to protect your life and that of your baby is by participating in seasonal flu vaccination. It is safe to have a flu shot at any point of the pregnancy. After vaccination, your body will develop antibodies which will help guard you and your baby against the flu infection for up to six months after birth. This is vital considering that children below six months cannot receive the influenza vaccination. Therefore, the only way to protect infants is by vaccinating the mother during pregnancy.
Infants less than six months are ten times more susceptible to contracting flu as compared with older children. Babies tend to develop severe complications following influenza infection, including:
- Lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia
Influenza or flu shot is free for pregnant women under the National Immunisation Program. Pregnant women are, therefore, advised to get the shot. Consult a doctor to find out how you can get your safe and free flu jab today.
What measures can pregnant women take to avoid getting flu?
Regardless of whether you get the flu vaccination at work or in the community, flu vaccination is an effective way of preventing people from becoming infected with the illness. This is because the less the virus is circulating in the community or at work, the safer the members are. Therefore, having the flu vaccination at work or at your medical centre is not only good for you but also for other people within the locality. Besides vaccination, there are other measures that can reduce the risk of contracting the flu:
- Wash your hands often, especially after sneezing, blowing your nose or coughing
- Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing, and use disposable tissues which you should dispose of immediately after use
- Avoid crowded places, especially those where people might be down with flu
- Keep away from people who are sick with influenza
When can a pregnant woman be vaccinated against the Flu?
The flu vaccine can be administered to anyone planning to conceive or one who is at any stage of the pregnancy, regardless of their due date. The number of women opting for flu vaccination is increasing. In addition, the side effects of the vaccination are minimal.
How effective is the flu shot?
The influenza vaccine triggers the body's defence mechanism to create antibodies. The antibodies will fight flu-causing agents if are exposed to them later on. For healthy young adults, the flu shot is up to 80 percent effective, although, in 2017, the flu vaccine was not as effective as previous years.
What are the side effects of the flu vaccine?
The side effects resulting from flu shots are usually mild. Only ten percent of the vaccine's recipients experience side effects. Among the common effects are muscle aches, low-grade fever, swelling at the injection site, and local redness. The influenza vaccine does not contain any whole virus, therefore, it cannot make you sick.
If I had a flu vaccination last winter, do I require another flu shot now?
Yes. The flu virus mutates very quickly. A new season flu vaccine is developed every year. Its purpose is to protect against the most dangerous strains (typically Type A and B), especially those strains that are expected during that season.
How to manage influenza with a baby in the house
First, identify the signs and symptoms of flu infection.
- Headaches
- Cough
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Flu infection may last between five and seven days. Flu is not a cold!
I am pregnant, what if I get influenza?
- Control your temperature (Please seek medical advice before using any medication)
- Keep breastfeeding.
- Consult your physician if the symptoms are evident
- Your doctor will advise you on the best treatment option.
What if a family member gets the flu?
- Make sure you wash your hands before holding your baby
- Educate your family members
- Keep the sick person away from the baby if possible
What if my baby gets the flu?
- Continue breastfeeding if you can
- Seek urgent medical attention
- Keep your child away from other healthy people, especially other infants and expectant mothers

After tons of teasers, we've now got our first real look at the new film Paper Towns. That's right, we finally get a taste of supermodel turned model and actress Cara Delevingne–plus her American accent!– and Nat Wolff in the romantic thriller, based upon the novel of the same name by John Green. Watch it now!
'Paper Towns' Trailer: Cara Delevingne Vanishes
"The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle," Q (Nat) says in the first trailer for Paper Towns.
"My miracle was I wound up living across the street from Margo Roth Spiegelman," he adds.
In the film, due out in theaters July 24, Q has been in love with Margo since she moved in across the street from him when they were kids. However, as unrequited love stories go, Margo showed no interest in Q (nor did she even speak a word to him).
But then, one night, Margo literally shows up in Q's window and tells him she needs help getting revenge on her cheating ex. They share a special evening, complete with saran wrap and spray paint, and Margot tells him things will be different between them.
Where Is Margo?
Cut to the next morning: Margo has totally vanished and no one knows to where. However, it seems that she may have left clues, or "breadcrumbs" as Q says, to create a message for him: Come find me.
Now, it's up to Q and his friends to set out on the adventure of a lifetime to try and track down the elusive gal.
"Margot always loved mysteries," Q says. "Maybe she loved them so much, she became one."
Are you excited for Paper Towns?

I think they're saying they've been fucked which is pretty true, lotus finally have a decent car and driver, are winning gps and now lose their best hope.
Could be interesting at Ferrari. Who will be the Number one driver.Kimi is far better than Massa so I can't see him signing a contract where he plays a supporting role.
Alonso left McLaren as they favoured Hamilton. I can't see Kimi playing second fiddle to anyone either or following team orders to let the Spaniard through.
i think kimis tactic will be to get drinking with alonso before every race to put him off his game lol.
its a nutty pairing because neither will listen to team orders i dont think if it means giving up being top dog, just do not see alonso doing that as he has been there for so long and cannot see kimi doing it as he is their last world champion. I saw the interview with webber who says that kimi has been signed as the stop gap for 2 years because that is when ferrari will get vettel, which would make sense but then i think to myself that both drivers contracts will be at the end around that time so would ferrari be replacing both drivers in 2016? if not which one of these 2 will be moved on because by then they will be 35/36
I love Kimi's don't give a fuck attitude. His interviews are great and he just tells it like it is - doesn't give a toss if its live telly.
His drinking is legendary F1 needs more characters like him.

Selena Gomez Thinks Justin Bieber Is 'Smoking Hot' In New CK Campaign
Selena has been making huge strides in her quest to get over Justin in 2015, but his new Calvin Klein ad campaign is a major setback for Sel! She's totally drooling over the Biebs' new pics, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Fans everywhere have been swooning over Justin Bieber's sexy shirtless Calvin Klein ad campaign — and apparently Selena Gomez, 22, is one of them! Not that she's happy about it. She desperately wishes she wasn't still "totally attracted" to her ex, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, but apparently she just can't conquer this CK obsession!
Selena Gomez On Justin Bieber Underwear Ad: She Thinks He's 'Smoking Hot'
Let's get two things straight: Selena is still mad at Justin — but she's still mad about Justin too!
"Despite still being angry at Justin and thinking he should be concentrating on his music career rather than modeling — she has admitted to pals she's still totally attracted to him and thinks he looks smoking hot in the new pics," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Selena's attraction isn't just about Justin — dating a Calvin Klein model was a huge fantasy for Selena in her early years, and we all know how powerful that kind of pull can be!
Justin Bieber: Did Calvin Klein Add Hair To Make Him More Manly?
"When Selena was a kid she had CK model posters on her wall. She even wistfully dreamed about dating one," our source reveals. "Now her ex has become one. Despite still having heartache and pain over Justin, Selena is kicking herself for thinking he's so incredibly hot."
Don't be too hard on yourself, Sel! Even though we know Justin is trouble too, we couldn't resist playing his new CK video on repeat after its debut on Jan. 6.
Selena Gomez Jealous Of Justin Bieber's Sexy Blonde Co-Model
Another insider offers more insight into Selena's true feelings about the campaign, telling HollywoodLife.com, "She thinks Justin looks hot in those pictures and that's hard. There's a big part of her that still wishes she was the one with him so seeing him star in a sexy underwear campaign with another girl draped on him sucks."
The other girl in this scenario is model Lara Stone, and we can totally see why Sel would be jealous. The leggy blonde, who hails from Holland, is a major hottie! But we all know that for Justin, no model — no matter how flawless — can hold a candle to Selena.
Do you think Selena should give Justin another chance, HollywoodLifers? Comment below!

When you have the knowledge, but lack the power to use it
It was suggested a while ago that maybe I should talk to a dietician during this 90 day challenge, in order to help me with my eating. Great idea in theory, but the truth is, I know what I should eat. I know how much I should eat. The issue is making that happen. I was a bit dismissive of the suggestion, but when Robin Anderson from Revive Wellness suggested we just have a conversation on the phone, I was totally open to it.
Robin and I met about four years ago when my husband and I went to see her about our diets. We did some journalling, and most of the outcomes were predictable. Treats aren't treats when you eat them every day. But I was even eating less fruits and vegetables at the time than my husband! That was a total surprise. We had a good experience at Revive, but it was brief, as I didn't really think I needed a dietician; I needed a new mindset.
Four years later, a lot has changed in that industry. Robin and I discussed what my pitfalls were, and predictably, mine were stress and fatigue, which would bring on daily fixes of chocolate, sweets and baked goods. For me, it's almost uncontrollable at times. (Though I have to confess that this recent focus on mindfulness has allowed me to scale the binges back when they happen—win!) Robin suggested something to combat the stress and fatigue—a program with a set of tools to help navigate those difficult times.
EBT—so cool!
Emotional Brain Training (EBT) was created by Laurel Mellin, an associate professor of family and community medicine and pediatrics in the School of Medicine at the University of California. She found that when the emotional brain is out of balance, we naturally develop problems with mood, relationships, behavior and health. EBT focuses on the root cause: stress in the emotional brain. Instead of forcing yourself to change your behavior, you use a unique, proven method to ease stress in your emotional brain. I was intrigued!
This weekend I registered for a full day intensive workshop called Wired for Joy(normally 7 weeks, condensed into one full day). Along with four other participants and a fabulous facilitator from Revive Wellness, Melanie, I learned about the different brain states and how to identify and improve them. When you feel good—really good—you don't crave the things that are destructive to your body, whether it's food, zoning out in front of too much TV, drinking excessive alcohol, etc. But if you're like me, you wonder "why can't I stay in that place when I'm there?" You have a good few days or weeks of healthy eating and exercise, only to resort back to the unhealthy behaviours. Why? It comes down to that stress in the brain.
I can honestly say I loved the workshop this weekend. It really resonated with me, and since I have been using the tools, I have been happier since. Just generally feeling better about life. And as a result? I've been eating less. Time permitting, I am definitely interested in pursuing the next parts of EBT. Who doesn't want to feel more joy, I mean really?!
Challenge update
With regards to the challenge, I've been sick this week with that sore throat, cough, laryngitis thing going around. I opted to take a break from exercise. I gave myself permission to rest. I needed it. Not so much that I didn't want to exercise, but I needed a break from thinking about it too. And the positive thing about it is that I feel rested and ready to get back at it! This week I worked out on Day 1 and Day 3. That was it, but it's ok.
With regards to food, it wasn't a stellar week, what with Halloween. But when we had pizza, I had two pieces, not the 4-5 I would normally have had. I watched my portions, and I lost 1.2 lbs! I've even had to finally start that bag of clothes that are way too big for me, which I will donate to people who need them. Success!
Starting weight: 211 lbs (size 14/16)
Current weight: 203.6 lbs

Short Bio Edouard George - Vietnam
In 1984 I started working in the hospitality industry in Switzerland and Vietnam. I definitely moved to Vietnam in 1991 to help with the opening of the first international Hotel in Vietnam, the Sofitel Metropole Hanoi. In 1999 I took the challenge to build up Phoenix Vietnam together with a Vietnamese colleague, which was later merged with Asia Holidays in Myanmar to the Phoenix Voyages Group. Today I can proudly say that Phoenix Voyages has grown to one of Asia's leading DMCs with offices in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, South & North Korea and Thailand.

Testimonial Phoenix Voyages Vietnam
"I wanted to thank you for all the hard work, dedication and professional management of the recent Incentive trip to Vietnam.
All expectations have been exceeded and we are proud to be associated with Phoenix Voyages. It has been a pleasure to work with you and your fantastic team.
Another big thank you for the Buddhist beads, Buddha head, Coffee table book and all the support!"
What makes Vietnam a great destination
Why Vietnam
Vietnam is a stunning country. From the emerald green rice fields, beautiful bays, high mountains, sandy beaches, lush forests, waterfalls and river deltas, the beauty of our country is overwhelming.
Some famous sites are Halong Bay with its myriad of islands; the Mekong Delta, fertile and green, where you can meander down its backwaters and the spectacular caves of Phong Nha.
Vietnam is a melting pot of cultures, and when you travel up North you will see and feel the Chinese influence. Remnants of French colonial times are still very visible in Hanoi and Ho Chi Min city (formerly Saigon) as well.
Vietnamese cuisine must be the best in the world. When you travel through our country, you will find people cooking on the streets, in markets, and the restaurants serve mouthwatering dishes made with fresh ingredients and superb cooking.
At Phoenix Voyages we can organise events and incentives in spectacular settings. We would be delighted to send you a sample program.

Question about Computers & Internet
I have a wireless modem but don`t know how to Connect this to my Laptop.
Please can anyone give me step by step instructions on how I can do this?
Many Thanks
Posted by johnhanson88 on
The Modem is a BT 2 WIRE 1800HG.
It has a Blue Cable and a Yellow Cable and a Grey Cable.
I know the Grey Cable Connects to the Phone Line.
The Blue cable is connected to the USB on the Modem and has a USB connection on the other end.
The Yellow Cable connects to Local Ethernet on the Modem And the other end of the Yellow cable has a Connector like a Phone Connector.
Could you Please tell me how to set this up????
Many thanks.
Depends on the wireless modem. Some require drivers and software, others just need to be set up.
What exactly have you got there?
Firstly, you need to connect your router to a broadband activated phoneline. On the back of your router there is a socket which should say Phone Line and I believe it is at the top.
This will then radiate a radio broadband signal.
Next, you need to be able to link your computer(s) to your router. There are basically four ways of doing this.
1) ETHERNET - You can connect from the ethernet socket on your computer to the ethernet socket on your router. If you have an ethernet socket on your computer, this is the simplest connection but not always the most convenient. If you don't have an ethernet socket on your computer you will not be able to use the yellow cable.
2) USB - You can connect from the USB socket on the router to a USB socket on your computer. You will need to install USB drivers to do this, but it's not difficult.
3) WIRELESS - You can use a Wireless LAN Adaptor. This can either be a card, built in to your computer or an external USB linked wireless adaptor plugged into an available UBS socket on your computer. These are trickier to set up but you have the freedom to connect to the internet from anywhere within radio range of your router and without wires. Some computers have wireless network adaptors built in already, especially laptops. You can find out by doing the following:
Start\Programs\Accessories\Communications\Newtork Connections - check to see if any of the connections say 'wireless' If they do you're in luck.
4) HPNA - You could use a Home PNA Adaptor (HPNA). This allows you to connect to your router from a different room by plugging into a phone socket through through the HPNA. These can be a little unreliable and do suffere sometimes with interference.
As soon as you have connected to the router, you need to connect to the router's Gateway or control panel. This allows you to set a WEP security code for your network and stops your neighbour or anyone else from connecting to your network. If you use a wireless LAN you will have to set this up with your security code.
To prevent hash intereference to your phone, you need to use microfilters on each phone in your house. Usually a couple of filters will be included with your router, and you can easily purchase more, if you have phones all over your house.
Please find the guide for your router at the link below.
You can also download software and drivers from http://www.2wire.com
Just go to the support page and look for your particular model
Hope this helps....

If you have a modem that looks like a card, you can plug it on the PCMCIA slot at the sides, those are the empty slots on your laptop. install its drivers and test the modem if it responds.

By Ali Salman
Published in The Express Tribune, May 16th, 2016|
Despite huge potential, performance of the Information Technology (IT) sector in Pakistan has been poor compared with many other Asian economies.
Internet penetration in Pakistan is 14%, whereas it is 30% in India, 49% in China, 31.9% in Bangladesh, 67% in Malaysia and 40% in Asia. During 2014-15, as compared with India's $99.6 billion worth of IT exports, Pakistan's IT exports amounted to only $0.82 billion.
Unfavourable taxation and huge import duties are hindering the performance of this sector and it places Pakistan amongst one of those five countries that have the highest taxation. A recent study based on the sample of 122 countries placed Pakistan at the third largest tax imposing country on mobile phones.
In the budget of 2015-16, tax on mobile phones was doubled. This tax is in addition to the SIM activation tax.
IT agreement
The Strategic Trade Policy Framework 2015-18 indicates that for the sake of greater market access, Pakistan will enter into the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) of the WTO, which requires complete elimination of tariffs on import of IT related products.
Although the Ministry of Information Technology and Ministry of Commerce have in principle agreed to ratify this agreement, the Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) is still lobbying for high taxation.
The FBR fears that elimination of custom duties will result in a revenue loss of around Rs4.5 billion. However, demand for IT products is highly price elastic. Decline in custom duties will enhance the domestic tax base by increasing the usage of IT.
The assessment of Deloitte (UK) reveals that if Pakistan eliminates custom duties on IT products, the loss in customs revenue can be covered through gains in tax revenue in the course of two years.
By reducing the sales tax on SIM cards, the government has already seen some of the benefits of reforming IT-specific taxes. Sales tax on SIM card was reduced from Rs2,000 to Rs1,000 in 2004 and further reduced to Rs250 in 2009. As a result of this reduction, there was a phenomenal increase in mobile phone penetration and also in government revenue. In these five years the cumulative revenue from this sector amounted to $8 billion.
The other argument against the ratification of ITA is that foreign competition will curb the establishment of IT related industries in Pakistan. It should be realised that Pakistan is not the manufacturer of any IT product. Nevertheless, some of the IT related products are assembled in Pakistan by using imported components.
Custom duties on these components is increasing the cost of assembled products, making investment in this sector unattractive. According to an industry expert, nearly 40% of the IT related companies have shifted to the UAE. The companies are hiring Indians or Sri Lankans. Hence, custom duties and taxation are not just hindering the growth of this sector but also shifting capital towards other countries. The ITA will incentivise low-tech indigenous industry to become part of a global supply chain.
Learning from example
After signing the ITA, China, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines joined the global supply chains and their exports revenues grew several folds. Pakistan Computer Association (PCA) endorsed the signing of ITA on the grounds that it will reduce the costs and facilitate the growth of the IT industry in Pakistan. Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) also supports the accession of ITA, while recommending that the government should also abolish locally imposed taxes on IT.
The impact of joining ITA on the Philippines' economy is an excellent example for countries like Pakistan which are deliberating acceding to this agreement. After becoming signatory of ITA, the Philippines attracted several MNCs. Today, eight out of the 30 world's top chip makers and the electronic companies like Hitachi, Toshiba and Fujitsu are operating there and in the first six months of 2015, their electronics exports amounted to $13 billion.
It is high time to build an internal consensus on ITA. The short term concerns should be ignored to welcome long term opportunities. It is highly recommended that Pakistan should sign this agreement in the greater interest of its own people and economy.

Biography & Quotes

A native of Canada, Lee was born on Vancouver Island, and
later moved to the city of Vancouver. It was while she attended
a British Columbia Lions football game that Lee was "discovered"
in a most unusual way. Dressed in a Labatt's Beer T-shirt, her image
was transmitted on the stadium's wide screen. The fans cheered the
beautiful girl, and she was brought down to the 50-yard line and
introduced to the appreciative crowd. As a result, she was signed
to a commercial contract with Labatt's and became the company's
"Blue Zone" girl. The campaign was so popular that other
commercials and advertising assignments for Lee soon followed. Due
to the recognition from these commercials she was soon approached
to do her first cover for Playboy magazine.
Pamela has since gone on to grace the cover an astounding five
times, more than any other woman in the magazine's history. With
the success and recognition she garnered from Playboy, Lee soon
moved to Los Angeles where she spent two seasons in the top-ten
ABC Television hit series "Home Improvement" as Lisa,
the Tool Time Girl. It was on "Home Improvement" that
she captured the attention and affection of viewing audiences nationwide.
At the same time, Lee was cast as 'C.J. Parker' on the internationally
successful series "Baywatch, " but because of the impossible
schedule of working on two hit shows, she eventually left "Home
Improvement" and remained full-time on "Baywatch."
She now stars on one of the most phenomenally popular television
programs of all time, which is seen in 140 countries worldwide.
Recently, Lee made the transition into the feature film arena, starring
in Dark Horse Entertainment's action comedy "Barb Wire."
Distributed by Gramercy Films, "Barb Wire" was released
in the spring of 1996. In addition, Lee was featured in the CBS
movie-of-the-week, "Deader Than Ever, " a hip and updated
Mike Hammer mystery, co-starring Rob Estes. She recently co-starred
in the television movie "The Evolution of Mr. E., " adapted
from the H.G. Wells short story, where she portrayed a quirky sculptor/artist.
Pamela is was wed to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, and the couple
had two children. However, the couple divorced in early 1998.
"Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness.
I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time."
"What I know in life runs the gamut of the "feminist
experience." The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your
strong womanly image to gain strong results in society."
"I don't recommend surgery at all. Women's bodies are beautiful
as they are, and I've had a love/hate relationship with my breasts
my whole life." quoted by the New York Post
"I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the
present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday.
If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out.."
"I have this phobia: I don't like mirrors. And I don't watch
myself on television. If anything comes on, I make them shut it
off, or I leave the room."
"I'm a mother with two small children, so I don't take as
much crap as I used to."
"It is great to be a blonde. With low expectations it's very
easy to surprise people."
"It was terrible. We had it stored with all of our personal
things in a refrigerator-sized safe that was behind a carpeted wall,
behind all of Tommy's recording equipment. Tommy's gun collection
was in there, and because of the advice of the construction workers
who built it, all our personal things. We went down there to get
some family photos, and it was gone. The whole safe. And the pictures
turned up on the Internet and in Penthouse."
"It's going to take a certain man for me to ever get involved
with, because he'll have to realize I don't have two children, I
have three. Tommy is always going to always be a part of my life."
"My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours
in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself,
and it's like therapy."
"Tattoos are like stories - they're symbolic of the important
moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got
each tattoo and what it symbolizes, is really beautiful."
"There's never going to be a great misunderstanding of me.
I think I'm a little whacked."
"There's no way I set out to be a certain kind of symbol -
the way I dress is the way I am, the way I live my life."

After looking it up on Urbanspoon it turns out Nuba has quite a reputation and I was determined to taste the food. During lunch hour, I gathered my 2 classmates who are also food lovers, Johana and Sung, along with my usual parter in crime, MaynaMerh, and her co worker and set out to Nuba to try their offerings. We got to the restaurant rather late and only had about half an hour left for lunch. The restaurant has a warm, relaxing ambience that would be nice to sit, chill, enjoy the food and socialize. However, since we were on a time constraint, we decided to get our food to go instead. All four of us were pretty much clueless on what to order and it took us awhile to read the menu and asked the staff for recommendation. Sung, Johana and I all went for the pita wraps which turned out to be pretty massive, I could say. The cashier recommended that their falafels are popular and I was easily persuaded while Merhna followed her friend's recommendation and got Najib's special.

John Robertson Courtesy photo—
Charles Levesque Courtesy photo—
Votes cast in a contested select board race in Antrim last Thursday during town election will be recounted.
Incumbent John Robertson was able to edge out his opponent Charles Levesque by 24 votes, according to results posted on the town's website after ballots were tallied. Results showed Robertson swept up 167 votes to Levesque's 143.
Town Clerk Diane Chauncey said Levesque requested the recount, which is governed under RSA: 669:30 - 35.
Levesque said he only requested the recount after he heard that a class action lawsuit could be filed against towns who postponed their election days as a result of Tuesday's blizzard that dumped a foot and a half of snow on the area.
Despite the state's guidance to hold elections as scheduled, many towns in the state moved their election or meeting dates, citing public safety concerns.
Levesque said he believes pushing back election day led to depressed voter turnout. This year, 315 people cast ballots out of 2,038 who were on the checklist, or about 15 percent. Last year, 496 people voted out of 1,924 people on the list, or about 26 percent.
Turnout could have changed the outcome of the race, he said.
Levesque said turnout in areas that held voting day on March 14 generally saw average voting rates. Francestown was the only town in the Ledger-Transcript's coverage area that held its election on Tuesday. A total of 411 ballots were cast during its election out of 1,171 names on its list, or about 35 percent. The year prior, 506 people cast a ballot out of 1,088 on the list, or about 47 percent.
If a class action lawsuit is filed, Levesque said a recount would show a judge that he has made an effort, which could give the case more teeth in court.
"If it was in front of a judge, a recount would show that I made an effort," Levesque said.
Senate Bill 248, "ratifying elections and meetings postponed due to a weather emergency on March 14, 2017," is working its way through state legislature. A hearing regarding the bill lasted for more than two hours on Tuesday where attorneys, town officials, and citizens testified before members of the Senate Election Law Committee regarding changes made to election day.
NH Secretary of State Bill Gardner said he attended the lengthy meeting. He said it was clear that some people who testified felt like they had been denied a vote as a result of postponed elections. During the hearing, Gardener said, citizens told anecdotes about how they had traveled to their town building, only to find out it was locked and no one was there. Some of those people were unable to cast their ballot on the rescheduled election day due to a myriad of personal reasons.
The Secretary of State's office advised towns to hold their elections on March 14 despite the impending snow storm. Gardner pointed to RSA 669:1 as a reason for the decision, which states towns are required to hold election day on the second Tuesday in March.
He said there is also a calendar that is available to the public that has a set of dates municipalities need to follow; for example, he said, March 13 is the last day to file an absentee ballot, March 14 is town election day, and March 17 is the last day to file for a recount. Due to postponed elections, some towns didn't vote before March 17, meaning that if someone asked for a recount, they technically couldn't, according to the calendar.
"All of these sorts of things started to come up," Gardner said about towns' decisions to postpone elections. But many town officials relied on another law that allows town moderators to move the "voting day of a meeting" in a weather emergency up to two hours prior to to the scheduled session, or RSA 40:4.
There's some controversy whether the law regarding changing the "voting day of the meeting" refers to elections or to other meetings that voters decide on a town's annual budget and other business. The Senate committee voted 3-2 to amend SB 248 to create a study committee, as a placeholder to ensure they can meet deadlines for getting a bill to the House. Republicans declined to recommend passage, in part, because some towns still hadn't voted by Tuesday's hearing.
"People believe we need to deal with this, that the legislature needs to do something," Gardner said. "We need some resolution on this."
Regardless of the election's outcome, win or lose, Levesque said he would be interested in the lawsuit because of its effect on voter turnout. He said he doesn't have any real hard agenda that he would push if voted onto the board, but said he thinks it's important to add fresh blood and new ideas to the board every so often. Levesque said he has a background that he believes would add new perspective on town issues.
Robertson said after the election he received a note with a sugar house pictured on the front from Levesque, congratulating him on the win.
"To send someone a card conceding the election and then ask for a recount," Robertson said pausing. "That, to me, is hitting a little below the belt."
He said he doesn't think the recount will accomplish much.
"This is a little like losing the ball game in the ninth inning and then asking to keep playing," Robertson said. "It doesn't work that way."
Robertson said voter turnout could have been lower because the election had been postponed. Chauncey said the applicant, in this case Levesque, has to pay for any cost incurred as a result of a recount. She said the applicant pays a $40 fee up front, and will be charged for any other costs once it's complete. The recount will be held Monday, March 27 at the Little Town Hall at 4:30 p.m.
Five people count the ballots including the moderator, town clerk, and three selectmen, not including Robertson, whose spot will be assumed by Supervisor of the Checklist Lauren Kirkpatrick.

Kitchen sink faucets come in different varieties of types, models and designs that you could choose from as addition for your sinks. Some of them are bar/prep faucets, filtered-water faucets, instant-cold-and-hot faucets, or even electronic models faucets. There are a few things that you have to pay attention to when choosing them, for example you would want to choose faucets with the price that fits your budget well. You would most likely try them first to make sure that the handle and levels are working properly, easy to be maneuvered or if they have a sprayer, the sprayer itself pulls out and returns perfectly.
Kitchen sink faucets also have to be studied before you buy them. You wouldn't want to install faucets too high or too low, having a kitchen faucet that is too high could create splashes around your sink that could leave mark or water spots stain to your benches. If they are installed too low, they could also limit the amount of water clearance to fill in large pots. So, in order to make sure that those things do not happen, you would have to measure the size of your sink and install your faucet on the right height. Your kitchen faucets is something that you would use daily, which is why it is important to choose wisely before you buy them as they could be an investment inside your home.
Kitchen sink faucets are preferably to be chosen in good and high quality so that they could last for a long time. Having to keep changing the ornaments inside your home could be a hassle, especially if you have a tighter housing budget. Warranties also vary from different stores that are available for them, just in case your faucet breaks and you need a replacement, your warranty could help you save even more money with them replacing your broken faucet with a new one.

This week I got an invite to a Preppers Group. Hurricane Preperations was the initial topic.
Turns out everyone was talking about preparing for the Pending Zombie Apocalypse! Zombies being big in the news in recent weeks.
It was funny how it has become the generic, politically correct way to talk about defensive gun ownership and disaster preparedness. Preps for all kinds of issues.
Zombie Apocalypse preps will basically cover most of the situations. Beans, bandaids and bullets. The SIG plans on weekly meetings, each with a topic: Water, Food, Shelter, First Aid, BOBs, Communications, Firearms, Gear, Transport, Retreats.
The main thing everyone had in common was guns. All were shooters.
--This could be interesting.

Have you already bought products while relaxing in your living room? Have you been looking for a special item but don't want to go from store to store to look for it? You can achieve this quite easily. By using the Internet so that you can shop you'll be saving cash and you won't be stressed out if you learn how to shop online properly.
When shopping online, there is no reason to provide a social security number. Not one site needs your social security number. If a website asks you for your SSN, it is a clear indication that the website is not legitimate. Leave the site, and go to one with a better reputation.
Start on Wednesday checking for online shopping bargains. Many brick and mortar stores do sales on the weekends, and to compete, many online stores have moved their sales days up by a few days. It just takes a few minutes of research to find great bargains in the middle of the week.
Instead of paying through the nose for rush shipping when shopping online, see what happens when you opt for standard shipping instead. You could be pleasantly surprised at the how fast your order arrives just with standard shipping. The money saved within a few days could help you buy more online!
Check sizing charts when buying clothes. Shopping for clothes "sight unseen" can leave you with pieces that might not fit you right. But, many sites offer size charts to help you figure out what size you'll require. Always use these charts to ensure you do not have to return an item.
Shopping on the Internet should no longer be a mystery to you. You can now find those items that you thought you would never find or find new items you never knew of. Simply put this advice to good use and the great Internet shopping mall awaits your presence.Copyright 2015 , All rights Reserved.

More Than 60 Delicious Recipes From An Inspiring Young ChefBook - 2011
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
"Familiar foods such as pizza, meat loaf, and French toast get a unique "twist" in this basic (but never boring) cookbook from 11-year-old chef Jack Witherspoon. The recipes (complete with huge colour photos) are definitely drool-worthy, but even more irresistible are the sections in which Jack shares his personal journey: a two-time cancer survivor, he went from watching the Food Network in the hospital to sharing the screen with celebrity chefs. If you like to try new things in the kitchen, you'll savour every page of this moving and mouthwatering book."
