Relay for Life
During the month of April, we held a Relay for Life campaign to raise money for the American Cancer Society. We would like to THANK all the students and families that sent in money for this great cause!
The theme was "Don't Monkey Around, Put Your Neck On The Line, Support Relay For Life, Have A Roaring Good Time". Students could pay $1.00 to have their name on a monkey, giraffe, or lion to be displayed in the commons area.
The Gold Academy raised a total of $1128.66!
- Congratulations to Miss Woodard's and Mrs. Starnes' classes for raising the most money. They each brought in $88, and have earned a pizza party!
- We had 20 classrooms with 100% participation and they will receive a pop and popcorn party!
- Every student will receive a Flavor Ice popsicle since the Gold Academy raised the most money between the two schools.
THANK YOU again for your support to the American Cancer Society!
Medications at School
Please remember that ALL medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian by the end of the school day on Thursday, May 25th. The nurses will be in the clinic until 12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 26th. After 12:30 p.m., any medications that have not been picked up will be destroyed and disposed of properly.

The Giant Wolf Spiders have been Released!
Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, the Giant Wolf Spiders have been released!
The Latest Developments From Epicwargaming.com
Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, the Giant Wolf Spiders have been released!
Hi all,
Good news, I have finished the Giant Wolf Spiders, yah!
Here is a few pictures of the new models. Some of the pictures of them are of them in their first Battle against the Elves with TristanSykes1994 being the Orcs and myself being the Elves. I lost, but boy that was a close run battle!
TristanSykes1994 got so desperate that had to sacrifice a Ors Slinger unit, using the Ring of Sacrifice to draw enough magical power to save his dwindling Iron Maiden unit and blast the last of the Elves to bits before they could finished her off. Well played Sir
To learn more about the Black Land Orc Wolf Spiders, you can do by visiting this link here: http://epicwargaming.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=811
Btw, very soon I will release the new Wolf Spiders to the Patrons and Inner Circle Members of Epic and then a week later I will release them to the general public.
Take care and thanks for popping by

Getting an engagement ring is a special moment in a woman's life, and certainly some women expect better, bigger, shinier and as an expensive engagement ring from their beloved man as possible.
The ring is like a reminder of that special day of the proposal, so it doesn't matter in some cases, if it's big or small, as long as it's given with love. Celebrities are considered now as true trend setters in engagement rings.
The average people like us, probably would never be able to afford these luxurious and diamond rings. But at least we can look and admire these lucky celebrity women.
Here is a list of the Top 5 most expensive engagement rings ever, sparkling on the fingers of celebrities and we reveal how much they spend on these glamorous rings!
Beyonce's wedding with Jay Z in 2008 maybe was a secret, but not her stunning engagement ring. Beyonce holds her title as the owner of the most expensive engagement ring. Jay Z proposed to her with an 18-carat diamond ring, designed by Lorraine Schwartz. The ring is valued at more than $5 million.
Paris Hilton ($4.7 million)
Paris Hilton's engagement ring is the second most expensive ring in the world. She received 24-carat diamond ring in 2004 from her fiancé Paris Latsis. But when the engagement was cancelled, Paris put the ring on auction, where it was sold for a record $4.7 million.
Melania Knauss ($2 million)
Donald Trump popped the question to his third wife Melania Knauss with a 15-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring known as The lord of the rings. In its time this was the most expensive engagement ring with a price at $2million.
Kim Kardashian ($2 million)
Kris Humphries proposed to Kim with a huge diamond ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz and worth $2 million. The reality star filed for divorce only after 75 days of marriage, but the ring remained one of the most enviable engagement rings ever!
Jackie Kennedy ($1.5 million)
American president John F. Kennedy spent $1.5 million for the engagement ring for his beloved lady Jackie O in 1953. The precious ring had 2.88 carat diamond and 2.84 carat emerald with tapered baguettes.

Roughly 15 minutes after the public announcement that Faking It's third season would be its last, I was on the phone with showrunner Carter Covington. We spoke about what would have happened in season four, the choice to leave Amy unlabelled, and his thoughts on the Lexa pledge, all of which he addressed with his typical candor. Please bookmark the interview for after Tuesday if you wish to remain un-spoiled for the finale.
AfterEllen.com: Hi Carter! How are you today?
Carter Covington: Oh you know, I've had better mornings.
AE: I can believe it. I just saw your tweet; are you just now finding out [that the show was canceled]?
CC: I knew on Wednesday, so yesterday I told the actors and did the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, so I knew the information would be coming out today.
AE: Well I'm sorry. I can really only imagine how painful and frustrating that must be for everyone on the cast and crew.
CC: I appreciate that. I think we're all sad but also grateful. And glad to have these interviews, where we can express that.
photos via MTV
AE: Yeah, it feels like coming full circle, because you and I spoke right after the Season 1 finale, when I think I earned some of my most dedicated haters. But it's still one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. And I had decided—even before the announcement that Faking It wasn't going to continue—that I wasn't going to be able to continue to cover it because the fandom had become so difficult to work with and work around. So I'm glad at least we can leave at the same time.
CC: I'm sorry you've had that experience. I think it's a vocal part of the fandom, but it's the one you deal with the most, and I share your pain.
AE: So I watched, or I watched part of the season finale last night, and I really enjoyed it. Do you feel good about going out on that note?
CC: I do. My last series, 10 Things I Hate About You, was canceled and it was a shock to me. I had created all these cliffhangers and fans were left with very little resolution. And we started breaking these episodes last summer when it seemed like we would have more. But we've never been a ratings no-brainer, so I knew there was a good possibility that we might not come back, and I didn't want to leave fans in the same situation.
So we thought a lot about how to craft a season finale that leaves a door open for where we want to go with the story, but also can stand alone as a nice closure for fans. And I think people would have been really upset if the show had ended with Amy not happy. And Sabrina came in as a great vehicle to stir up drama with Karma, but also as a chance for Amy to have what she couldn't have with Karma at the end of season one. It felt like if we could end the series with Amy in a happy place, both with Karma and with someone she loves, it would be a rewarding series finale. It may not the be one everyone wanted to see, but it would be a place where fans wouldn't feel left in limbo.
AE: Well I think it was a strong choice. And now that it's over, can you talk about where you would have wanted the story to go, had it continued?
CC: Yeah, I'm writing something up to share in my own words what a final season would have looked like. My vision had always been that the final season of the show would be [more about] Karma. We started the show from Amy's perspective, and we were slowly shifting the show, even in this season, to Karma's perspective. So Karma would come to recognize that her intense feelings around Amy were possibly more, and maybe she made a mistake saying no to her at the end of Season 1.
It's always been my intention to explore them being a couple in the last season. And I let MTV know that it was how I wanted to do it. But it felt to me like that would have been a rewarding last season, and I didn't want to burn through it earlier because I felt like the chemistry between them and the will-they-or-won't-they is an important part of the show. I've been trying to tell a rewarding story that leads to that ending, but it's hard when you don't know how much story you have left to tell. So now we're in a place where I don't get to tell that story, and I know a lot of fans will feel cheated because I've been very upfront that I wanted to explore it. And to those fans, I apologize. There's nothing else to say other than I'm sorry they don't get to see that. They probably feel like they were promised that, and it's my one regret.

Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Ron Paul (R-TX) introduced a bill today that would amend the government's Controlled Substances Act to remove all federal penalties for the production, distribution, and possession of marijuana, effectively striking down its classification as a scheduled drug.
The bill aims to allow individual states to set their own marijuana laws without the concern of being overridden on the federal level. The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011 [pdf] — the first bill of its kind — resembles the repeal of the 18th Amendment in that it restricts the government's role in controlling the substance to keeping the drug out states where it is banned.
"The legislation would limit the federal government's role in marijuana enforcement to cross-border or inter-state smuggling, allowing people to legally grow, use or sell marijuana in states where it is legal," according to the MPP statement.
The legislation, co-sponsored by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), is the first of its kind to be proposed in Congress that would end the 73-year-old federal marijuana prohibition that began with the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.
Although Frank insists that this "is not a legalization bill," it will be an excellent test for those in Congress who claim to be for a limited, smaller, federal government — one that gives more power to the states whenever possible as Paul and the "tea party" have rallied for over the last few years.
If the bill somehow makes it through both houses of Congress, it would be interesting to see if President Obama would sign it, seeing as the president's feelings on the controversial matter have been hazy.
"We need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Obama said in Feb. 2008. "But I'm not somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana. What I do believe is that we need to rethink how we're operating in the drug war. Currently, we're not doing a good job."
During a conference call today, Frank suggested what he'd like to see states do with their new autonomy, expressing his view that "prosecuting responsible adults who make the decision that they wish to smoke marijuana interferes with their personal freedom." He said he was "particularly struck by the hypocrisy of public officials who will themselves talk about smoking marijuana, wink at it, and then make it criminal for other people," which results in "a very discriminatory pattern of enforcement." (Ahem, Bloomberg.) Frank conceded the bill "has no chance of passing" anytime soon, but added, "I think we are making progress. I think the public is way ahead of the legislators on this….This is an educational process."
The bill amends the Controlled Substances Act so that marijuana is no longer a scheduled drug and declares:
This Act [the CSA] shall not apply to marihuana, except that it shall be unlawful only to ship or transport, in any manner or by any means whatsoever, marihuana, from one State, Territory, or District of the United States, or place noncontiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof, into any other State, Territory, or District of the United States, or place noncontiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof, or from any foreign country into any State, Territory, or District of the United States, or place noncontiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof, when such marihuana is intended, by any person interested therein, to be received, possessed, sold, or in any manner used, either in the original package or otherwise, in violation of any law of such State, Territory, or District of the United States, or place noncontiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
I take from this all that the states will deal with marijuana issues on their own terms (some are with their heavily militarized approaches). The rest of the fine details I have not fully digested yet.

How to Maximise Your Upgrade Chances
Upgrading to Business or First class is not only an affordable way to travel in luxury, but also an excellent use of frequent flyer points. Unfortunately, there's a catch: upgrades can be difficult to secure, and there's a risk that your request will be unsuccessful. Redeeming your points effectively can be difficult, which is why the Frequent Flyer Solutions training program devotes an ENTIRE COURSE to redeeming points! Of this course, a whole module is dedicated to upgrading with points. There's some good news if you want to use your frequent flyer points to upgrade to a better seat on your next flight. There are a few tricks that will drastically increase your chances of scoring that bump-up to the pointy-end! Airlines may use one of two different methods of allocating point upgrades. The optimal strategy for ensuring upgrade success will depend on the method used. On some airlines, upgrades are confirmed immediately if available. This is the case for flights on Virgin Australia, Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Cathay Pacific, and Qantas domestic flights. Upgrades on these airlines will be available as long as award seats are available in the upgraded class of travel, so the key is to search for award availability. If there's an award seat, the upgrade will be yours. Qantas international flight upgrades are allocated differently. These are based on a "lottery" system, with requests being placed on a waitlist. In this case, the key to maximising your upgrade chances is to book the flight with the lightest load in the upgraded travel class. As explained in the video extract below, the easiest and most accurate way to check this is to search on Expert Flyer, a highly useful online tool for frequent flyers.

Nitrous oxide is a colorless, slightly-sweet-smelling gas that's been used in medicine for over a hundred years. In dentistry, nitrous oxide is used as a conscious sedative, letting a patient feel happy, relaxed, and stress-free while still remaining awake for a procedure. It's safe, effective, and the effects wear off within minutes after the patient stops receiving the gas.
Nitrous oxide couldn't be easier to receive. We administer the gas through a small, clear mask that fits comfortably over the nose, and the mask ensures that the gas is always mixed with oxygen and kept at a safe level. Once we confirm that the patient is feeling the effects, we'll begin the procedure, and the patient can remain free from stress and anxiety throughout the whole process.
Keep in mind that nitrous oxide isn't the same as a local or general anesthetic, as it's classed as an anxiolytic – an anxiety reliever. For many procedures, though, anesthetic isn't needed, and nitrous oxide can help a child feel calm and comfortable throughout the treatment process. During the procedure, your child will still be fully conscious and capable of speaking, and we can adjust the dosage to make sure they're comfortable and alert. After completing the procedure, we'll turn the flow of the gas down to zero, and in just a few minutes, your child will feel completely back to normal.
Nitrous oxide can help any child who's particularly anxious or frightened of a dental appointment overcome that anxiety and have a pleasant experience during the procedure. Before treatment, we'll take a comprehensive medical history and to ensure that nitrous oxide will be a safe choice for your child. If we decide to use it, nitrous oxide can help any child have a great experience at our office - and when they're finished, they won't remember a thing.
Nitrous oxide makes it easy to visit the dentist, and if you think your child might benefit from conscious sedation, we're happy to speak with you about it. Feel free to reach out to us at our contact page with any questions, shoot us an email at email@example.com, or request an appointment online at our Bentonville or Rogers, AR office.
Taking the Stress Out of Dentistry for Kids
Finding a dental practice should be like finding your child a cuddly warm blanket — a comfortable and secure environment in which real communication can occur. Nowadays, all parents and child caregivers should be saying that their little ones enjoy dental visits and even look forward to them.

To all the daddies
I know, I know...Father's Day was Sunday. Considering my blog comes out every Wednesday (10:00 a.m. like clockwork) I will forever be early or late when it comes to special days that always happen on a Sunday. Nevertheless, I will still talk about and celebrate these days, early or late. As I stated before, Father's Day was this past Sunday and it's a wonderful thing, but I don't think it's accurate. Let me explain.
As background, the first Father's Day celebration was held on June 19, 1910 in Seattle, Washington. It was actually made into a holiday by President Richard Nixon in 1972. If you wish to learn more about the history of Father's Day because it is that interesting or you're just curious, click here. Getting back on track...I think Father's Day should be Daddy's Day. Some people may think it's just semantics and it very well could be, but I feel it's something deeper. To me, being a father means having the ability to procreate. To me, being a daddy is a bit deeper. Everyone on this earth has a father because that's how it works, (please don't bring up cloning because procreation was not meant to be that way) but not everyone has a daddy.
I'm not sure if I shared this with you all before, but my father and I weren't always close. When I was a child, he actually made me nervous. He would ask me existential or philosophical questions. And when I say I was a child, I was about 5. At that time I didn't realize that I could say "I don't know" or "I have never thought about that". For some reason I thought my dad knew everything and since I was his child I too, was supposed to know everything. So instead of having to face his questions when he came home, I would leave the room. My older sister told me that for the longest my dad thought I didn't like him. After my parents got divorced I didn't see him much, except on some weekends. I didn't really get to know him and he, me, until I was in college. At that point we could really talk about anything and I do mean anything. To this day we talk, maybe not everyday, but we definitely talk and I no longer leave the room when he enters. In fact, I go visit him on purpose! I used to have a father, but now I have a daddy. Below is an image of my dad before he walked me down the aisle at my wedding. (Photo credit: McWhorter Photography) The picture on the right is his constant state of laughter. This was taken on New Year's Day a few years ago. Yes, I know we need some updated pictures.
Growing up he probably wasn't the best father, but he was the best father he could be at the time. He, like everyone else made mistakes. I can't fault him for being human. Even though I couldn't appreciate him as a child, I can definitely appreciate him as an adult. Do I agree with everything he says and does? Of course not! When I think he steps out of line, I politely voice my opinion about it and we move on from there. I believe we have a mutual respect for one another and I truly enjoy that. I feel blessed to still have him with me and realize that I need to take advantage of that more often.
My husband is a wonderful daddy too. He can be a little rough around the edges sometimes, but he means well. He's very honest, an excellent protector and provider. He's funny, serious, intelligent, loving, thoughtful and has street knowledge. If you don't know him, you'd think that he was stern and extremely quiet. My favorite story to tell about him and his even-keeledness is at our wedding. My father notices Steve waiting at the front of the chapel before my big entrance and says "Steve looks really nervous." That's when one of Steve's cousins pipes up and says "How can you tell? He only has one emotion!" And we all cracked up laughing. Hopefully that helps convey my husband's normal state of being. He plays with our son and teaches him "man things" and about life. He also makes him get up and do things and be responsible because we don't plan on raising a lazy child. One day he will be someone's husband and we plan on him being an excellent one, plus an excellent human-being as well. Prior to my getting pregnant I found out that my husband had never even held a baby before we had our son. Needless to say I was a bit surprised, considering he has a niece and nephew, along with little cousins. In fact, we had discussions where I told him in no uncertain terms that he was holding his child! As you can see, he did and continued to do so. One thing he really didn't like, besides changing his diaper, was taking him anywhere because he hated having to take the dreaded diaper bag with him. This image was taken minutes after he was born and no, I don't believe I was the one who took it.
Yes, I know...we need updated family pictures too since my son is now 12! We're working on those too. Anyway, to reiterate my point, my father and my husband are both fathers and daddies. Being a daddy doesn't mean being perfect, it means being there. Being present and in the moment. It means letting your child know that you love, care for and protect them.
As you all know, I have an affinity for daddies and their children. It warms my heart so to see men being so loving and attentive to their children. Many of my favorite images are those I've captured with daddies and babies. I guess the nomenclature isn't all that important. What is important is the love and trust that is developed between a parent and their child(ren). Capturing that love and trust is one of my most prized gifts. If you know of any daddies wanting to have beautiful portraits with their child(ren), I do hope you'd send them my way because it would be my honor.

Happy Birthday to all you February babies! February's birthstone is the sparkling Amethyst. This popular stone is actually quartz and refers specifically to the purple variety. This lovely gemstone is quite popular because not only is it beautiful it is also quite affordable. Did you know that Amethyst jewelry was once worn because it was believed that it helped you keep a clear head and avoid getting intoxicated. Amethyst was also a gemstone for royalty in the middle ages, and was as valuable as diamonds and rubies.
Amethyst Details:
MINERAL: Quartz
CHEMISTRY: SiO2
Amethyst Cleaning and Care:
Because of its hardness, amethyst is great to use in all kinds of jewelry. But you do need to care for it to keep it looking its best. You should keep your amethyst out of direct sunlight and avoid extreme heat. This means no storing it on a window sill or leaving it in your hot car during the summer. This can change the color of your stone and the lovely purple can dull. It is also important to avoid contact with household cleaners and beauty products, like hairspray. This also includes pools and hottubs. Besides the heat the chemicals aren't the best for your jewelry. You can clean your amethyst jewelry with a soft toothbrush or cloth and a mix of mild dish soap and warm water. Gently scrub around and under the stone to clean off any gunk and you will see a big improvement if you haven't done this before. If in doubt take it to a professional to get cleaned. Silver does tarnish over time and a professional cleaning can have your piece looking nearly new again.

Mumbai: After soaring to a record high of Rs 552.40, shares of department stores chain owner Shoppers Stop Limited retreated on profit taking, but still ended the day on a positive note.
The stock, which opened more than 6% up at Rs 537 and advanced to Rs 552.40 (Rs 551.90 on NSE) in a flash, dropped down rather swiftly on profit taking. It eventually ended at Rs 513, up 1.2% from previous closing price.
On BSE, the counter clocked a volume of about 1.35 lakh shares in the session, as compared to average daily volume of 88,000 shares. On the National Stock Exchange, the counter recorded a volume of 1.452 million shares in the session.
The stock's rally this morning was on the back of reports that Future Group has acquired HyperCity chain of hypermarkets from Shoppers Stop for Rs 655 crore.
The loss-making outfit of Shoppers Stop was bought by Future Group's flagship arm Future Retail in a deal that had a cash component of Rs 155 crore and shares worth Rs 500 crore. The acquisition is expected to help expand Kishore Biyani's growing supermarket business and consolidate its presence in western India. HyperCity has 19 large outlets spread over about 1.4 million square feet of retail space in cities such as Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
The deal, which is likely to be completed in the next three to five months. Following this deal, Future Retail would now be able to consolidate its position in Western India and complement hypermarket operations under Big Bazaar.
For Shoppers Stop, the deal gives a boost as it would help the company focus on its apparel business, its core area.
The Future Retail stock ended at Rs 537.80, gaining nearly 2%, after having surged to a high of Rs 559 early on in the session.

Geraldine Marie Galligan (Miller) entered into rest on December 8, 2017. She was 70 years old.
Together with her husband, John W. Galligan, Sr., Gerry raised five children in Forestburgh, NY, later spending cherished moments in Constableville, NY. She counted herself among the luckiest of us to have been married to the love of her life; her greatest wish for her children, grandchildren, family and friends is that they love and be loved as she and John.
Daughter of the late Marion Stewart Miller, Gerry was born on July 17, 1947, and learned from her mother the value of hard work and self-reliance. She was married to John on March 6, 1976, and, together, they raised Edward Michael (Peggy), of Bethel, NY, Tracey Ann (William Rock), of Hillsboro, Alabama, Kelly Marie (Joseph DiCapua), of Sea Cliff, NY, John William, Jr. (Mallery), of Boonville, NY, and Meagan Katherine, of Forestburgh, NY.
Gerry had the spirit of a fighter, much like her mother and grandmother before her, which will live on. She loved animals, particularly horses, a hobby she first shared with her grandfather and later passed down to her children, coming as it did with important lessons in responsibility, discipline and empathy. A champion of the underdog, Gerry charged her loved ones to hold principled beliefs, challenging them at every turn; in this way, she ensured her children could not only take a position, but defend and justify it with courage of conviction. She was a passionate and devoted supporter of John's many community involvements.
An avid baker and architect of the most wonderful birthday cakes, Gerry loved to share time in the kitchen with her grandchildren, John William III, Emmet, Lyla, Thomas, Jarod, Alexandria, Dylan and Alexa (Shawn Houghtaling). She was blessed with one great-grandchild, Mason. Gerry assured Thomas, and each of her beloved grandchildren, that not even death can break the precious bond grandmothers share with their babies.
Gerry is further survived by her siblings, Walter Miller (Patricia), of Courtland, Virginia, Russell Miller (Susan), of Zephyr Hills, Florida, and Edward Miller (Diane), of Forestburgh, NY as well as many in-laws, including Patricia Starr Galligan (late Michael), Vincent Galligan (late Kathy) and James Galligan (Ellen), all of Forestburgh, NY, and Gerard Greco (late Kathleen Galligan) of North Bethesda, MD, nieces and nephews. She enjoyed spending time with friends, including the late Jean Rosenheck, Seymour and Alec Rosenheck, her brother Walt and her sisters-in-law Patricia Miller and Patricia Starr Galligan. Though her children were her life's work, she also spent time assisting her mother in the operations of AMI, Inc., in Forestburgh, and, later, her friend Dr. Steven Agoston at the Bethel Animal Clinic. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, in Constableville, NY.
Family & friends are invited to gather on Friday, December 15 from 2-4 & 6-8 pm at the VanInwegen-Kenny Funeral Home, 401 Broadway in Monticello, NY. Gerry's funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday, December 16 at 11 am at St. Peter's Catholic Church, Broadway and Liberty Street in Monticello, NY with Fr. Ivan Csete officiating. Burial will be held in the Spring at St. Patrick's Cemetery in Constableville, NY.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Mary's Church, 5905 James St., Constableville, NY 13325; or to Calvary Hospital at www.calvaryhospital.org/donatenow
Arrangements are under the direction of the VanInwegen-Kenny, Inc. Funeral Home of Monticello, NY; for additional information or to send an online condolence, please visit www.kennyfuneralhome.com

I had a great weekend until about 6pm on Sunday evening. We had gotten some King Crab legs steamed and brought home from the grocery, they were delicious and about 5 min after eating I got searing pains in my stomach and a few hours later lost it all. D also got sick, but his was in another form (sorry TMI) needless to say it put a damper on the end of our weekend.
Saturday was fruitful as far as Christmas shopping goes, I had gotten all but one item on my list, which was great for me. I figured between the crowds and the late date that I would not get nearly any of the items. Soundly Sunday morning I scanned the ads and low and behold the last item was there on sale. Zipped over to the store and got the last one. It feels good to have gifts for my kids. Now the extended and immediate family and I'm done.
This a.m. I weighed in for my first monthly weigh in. Proud to say that I am down 29lb for the month since surgery. What a great accomplishment. I will post pics later. Also, the inches are melting away. What a great thing this is.....Singing and dancing around.
All in all a great weekend

Sorry I didn't manage a Monday Movie this week, but none of our diligent writers went to the cinema this weekend. I went last night, but only managed to see Sherlock Holmes, which has been out for a month. Good though.
As consolation, we instead begin a campaign. Every year, the Oscars are met with a wave of interest from even the most cynical of sources, and what is the result? Disappointment, the films we love always miss out to pieces of intellectual masturbation by tired, old auteurs who should have retired years ago.
Not only do we face this annual humiliation, we also must put up with the yearly round of Oscar-bait. Dull, depressing, worthy garbage about heroic Nazis and historic legends that nobody actually liked.
So this year, we fight back; this year we say: screw the Oscars. We don't need an Academy to tell us what we want to see. To show your support, tweet #screwtheoscars on Twitter or add your feelings to the comments section.
N.B. - This post is not at all brought to you by a couple glasses of cheap Asti, nuh-uh

August 4th 2016
Kilauea is the most active, most "approachable" volcano in the world. The current eruption began in January of 1983 and has been pumping out lava almost without interruption for 33+ years! The focus of this eruption has not been the "summit" area of Kilauea Caldera (the main area just inside the entrance of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park); this activity has centered around a vent named Pu'u O'o which is located in a remote area near the park's eastern boundary.
Lava flows from Pu'u O'o have mostly flowed to the south, down the slopes of Kilauea, across the coastal flat, and eventually flowing into the ocean where new land is created. These flows have destroyed most of the town of Kalapana and every single house in the Royal Gardens subdivision. The field of post-1983 lava flows is about 10 miles wide with about half of the flows inside the park and half on private property east of the park. These flows wiped the "Chain of Craters Road" off the map, a coastal route that once connected the sea-level area of Volcanoes National Park with the town of Kalapana. This road was buried under lava 150 feet deep in places!

Higher rate of Electronic Payments contributed additional $296 billion to consumption between 2011 and 2015: Moody's
NEW DELHI, 11th March, 2016: Moody's Analytics have released their latest report "The Impact of Electronic Payments on Economic Growth". In the report where the research firm has analyzed macroeconomic data for 70 countries between 2011 and 2015. By calculating the impact of card usage on per capita consumption, Moody's Analytics has extrapolated the impact that the increase in spending on goods and services had on consumption and thereby GDP.
Moody's Analytics estimated that higher card usage contributed an additional $296 billion to consumption between 2011 and 2015, or a 0.1% cumulative increase in global GDP during the sample time period. That equals about a $74 billion contribution to GDP
each year.
The report found Real consumption grew at an average of 2.3% in the same period, of which 0.01 percentage point is attributable to increased card penetration. This implies that card usage accounted for about 0.4% of growth in consumption, as well as an average increase of 2.6
million jobs over 2011-2015.

this is just a simple story of two people in love that run out of time getting to be together, i hope you guys like it
As This Cancer Takes Me Away:
I am sorry
I will not be around much longer
My life is fading away
I can feel my presence
Its fading
Its disappearing
Please give me more time
I cant leave you behind
You will be sad
You will be alone again
I made a promise
That we would stay together
But I can see that its breaking
Its crumbling
Its killing me deep inside
Just like this disease
I need more time
The pain is unbearable
I must continue to fight
I can feel myself leaving
Please let me stay!
At least let me tell her one last thing!
But the words wont form
I cant open my mouth
The hospital staff begins to panic
I can hear the heart monitor stop
They drag me away from my love
I cant see her
Feel her
Or hear her
I cant tell her the last few words
The last words I so badly want to say
As Im leaving her
Leaving this world
Im sorry for breaking our promise
I dont want to leave you
Please find happiness
Because I love you.
These are the words Ill never get to say
And the words shell never know.

"He comes back with the script, and it's racist like a 1940's newspaper." — Katt Williams
His real name is Micah Sierra Williams but you know him better as "Katt" Williams. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Williams began performing stand-up in the 1990s. In 2006, he celebrated his first comedy special, Katt Williams: Live: Let a Playa Play.
Williams' act is raunchy, aggressive, and thoroughly adult. He uses the "f-word" and "n-word" profusely and frequently calls women the "b-word." It took a long time to find a quote that didn't contain multiple uses of any of the aforementioned pejoratives. Williams cracks wise on a variety of subjects including race, drugs, politics, and sex.
Williams' second comedy special, The Pimp Chronicles, Pt. 1, also came in 2006, and it aired on HBO. The following year, Williams starred in the film American Hustle. The movie was half narrative and half stand-up. It also starred Jeremy Piven, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and Taran Killam.
In 2008, Williams enjoyed his second HBO comedy special, Pimpin' Pimpin'. For the next four years, Williams refrained from doing stand-up. He triumphantly returned to the microphone in 2012 with his third HBO special, and fourth comedy special overall, Kattpacalypse.
Also in 2012, Williams retired from comedy for three days. The brief retirement occurred after Williams failed to appear at a show in Seattle and was arrested following an altercation at bar.
Williams' fourth HBO special debuted in August of 2014. The special, Katt Williams: Priceless: Afterlife, was directed by Spike Lee.
Williams has appeared in the television shows NYPD Blue, My Wife and Kids, and The Boondocks (voice only). His film credits include Friday After Next, Norbit, Epic Movie, and Scary Movie 5.
The only thing longer than Williams' television and film credits is his arrest record. Williams has been arrested at least nine times. He's been cuffed by police for carrying a concealed firearm, felony intimidation of a witness, assault with a deadly weapon, and endangering his four children.
In 2010, Williams was arrested after he allegedly stole $3,500 worth of coins and jewelry. A little odd since Williams was an established star at the time.
In 2012, Williams was arrested after leading police on a chase while driving a three-wheeled motorbike. Apparently, Williams drove on the sidewalk and hit five people while eluding police.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered a speech at a rally with supporters in South Carolina on Tuesday, removing himself from the politicians as a friend of the private sector and U.S. economy.
He began by joking that presidential candidates shouldn't be able to use a teleprompter in announcement speeches, so the American public can know whom they really are getting when the public goes to vote.
Trump referred to his comments on illegal immigration, which were made during his presidential announcement, saying the recent killing of a young woman by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco and the crime statistics have demonstrated there is a problem with illegal immigration.
Trump argued that the mainstream media largely ignored the facts, which supported his illegal immigration statements.
"I was actually going to bring the press — have them sit over here, so they'll see," he joked to the crowd. "The press is dishonest."
Trump took swipes at his competition, including fellow GOP presidential candidate Gov. Jeb Bush and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, mocking them about not liking the "tone" of his statements on illegal immigration. Trump said Americans need a leader with tone these days.
He also took a swipe at fellow GOP candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) saying, "What a stiff." Trump also gave out what might be Graham's office phone number — as Trump mentioned it could be an old one — for people to call and complain about the job Graham has done.
GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry wasn't safe either from criticism. "He put glasses on so people will think he's smart – it just doesn't work, you know, people can see through the glasses," Trump said about Perry.
Trump also mentioned Saudi Arabia, saying that country gets a billion dollars a day and the American military always takes care of it, but America gets nothing in return.
A supporter in the crowd said "crazy" in response to Trump's statement. Trump agreed that it is crazy – and pointed to the man in the crowd and had him stand up.
Trump also addressed veterans – which has been in the news since he took a jab at Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Saturday in Iowa.
"Our vets have been treated worse than they've ever been," Trump stated. He followed it up by saying he is angry with McCain for calling Trump supporters "crazies" and also because McCain is "totally about open borders."
"I will take care of our vets… our vets are treated like third class citizens," Trump pledged. "I will build a military that is so strong that we will never have to use it because they'll say we aren't messing with that guy and we're not messing with that country."
Earlier in the day, the Trump campaign announced they will start a hotline for veterans to call or email suggestions on how to fix the Veterans Administration.
Trump said a businessman will help fix the situation with the veterans healthcare better than politicians have done.
"I am so tired of politicians… no one knows them better than me," he said, adding he deals with them every day. "If you can't get rich dealing with politicians – there's something wrong with you."
"The problem is with politicians is perseverance. They work. They try, but they only want to keep their job – it's 99 percent of what they want."

The Elmira Nurse-Family Partnership sends nurses into the homes of at-risk children and helps parents cope with the pressures that can lead to child abuse and neglect, reports the Elmira, N.Y., Star-Gazette. Support includes home visitation, parent training, and other services. A statewide coalition of law enforcement officials and crime victims is seeking more money to fund the program and similar preventive projects around New York. Their goal is to break the cycle of abuse and neglect that some officials believe helps breed future criminals.
The anti-crime coalition Fight Crime: Invest in Kids New York says that victims of child abuse and neglect often grow up to become violent offenders. There were 77,860 official cases of child abuse and neglect in New York State in 2001. More than 3,000 of them are likely to become violent criminals as adults, the group says. Investing now in crime prevention will save billions of dollars 15 or 20 years down the road, law enforcement officials say. "The evidence is overwhelmingly conclusive that these programs work," said Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick. "Legislators have a propensity to name laws after dead children. It would behoove them to name laws after programs that work and prevent children from being abused and sometimes killed."
Elmira's Nurse-Family Partnership is used as a model in 22 states and in other countries. While the program is voluntary, more than 90 percent of parents contacted agree to take part.
Research tracked 400 low-income, unmarried women in one county 13 years after they left the program. The results were compared to counterparts in a control group. Among the findings:
– 79 percent fewer cases of child abuse and neglect among the families who went through the program compared to the control group.
– 33 percent fewer subsequent pregnancies.
– 54 percent fewer arrests among 15-year-olds.
– 69 percent fewer convictions and probation violations among 15-year-olds.

I bought Selenium on the advice of my Veterinarian. My Shiz Tzu has Cushing's Disease, I did not want to subject her to exploratory surgery or give her meds with bad side affects. He suggested Selenium as part of a natural remedy. I do see results, she seems to have more energy and is not constantly thirtsy. I will continue using Selenium and look forward to her next blood test results.

Mirrorless Cameras – A Boon for Travel Photographers
October 04, 2014 • Leave a Comment
Going Mirrorless
I have been using my trusty Canon 5D DSLR for several years. I have taken it to many journeys and I have captured some memorable images, including several published in National Geographic travel books, features in National Geographic's stock library and National Geographic Traveler websites.
An example is "Alhambra at Sunset", published in National Geographic's World's Best Travel Experiences book (2012).
Alhambra at Sunset (Canon 5D, 105mm, f/11, 0.5s, ISO 200)
I have been using a mirrorless Fujifilm X-E1 camera for travel photography for the past year. So, why change from something that works? Short answer is very good image quality in a smaller and lighter system.
Is it a complete replacement to DSLR? I don't think so, but it gives the DSLR a serious run for its money. My images are mainly related to travels and the mirrorless system is a great fit. I suspect for many hobbyists and enthusiasts, the current mirrorless system (e.g. Olympus, Panasonic, Sony, Fujifilm) would suffice. For those more advanced and professionals capturing images of high-speed action, sports, wildlife, etc., high-end DSLRs will likely continue to be the preferred choice for now.
Here are a couple of images from the Fujifilm mirrorless camera.
Roman Forum at Dawn (Fujifilm X-E1, 18mm, f/11, 10s, ISO 400)
London at Twilight (Fujifilm X-E1, 55mm, f/8, 9s, ISO 400)
National Geographic Traveler recently published a feature entitled "Top 10 Compact Cameras for Travelers"; all the cameras listed were mirrorless cameras.
The photographic systems are undergoing rapid changes with great choices to consumers. The traditional giants of DSLR (Canon and Nikon) are facing great innovation challenges from the likes of Sony, Panasonic, Olympus and Fujifilm. I think the trend towards smaller, lighter system is beneficial to many photographers.
Overall, I'm enjoying the Fujifilm X-E1 for travel photography. Come to think of it, I have not used my Canon 5D DSLR for over a year. I still have a collection of Canon L lenses. Hmm...
In my next article, I'll share some experiences of using a manual fisheye lens with the Fujifilm X-E1 mirrorless camera.

When Technology Supersedes People
I admit to being a techno-phile. I love computers, and am always drooling over the newest and fasted devices. No I do not own an iPad, primarily because I'm anti-Mac. But I do own an iPhone (against my will — it was a gift). I admit, my iPhone causes me to lose track of time and pay less attention to people and the situation at hand. I tout it's helpfulness and resourcefulness, but it, as well many other technological devices can become a great temptation.
Our culture has a destructive love-affair with technology. Many of us are consumed by the advertising which leads us to believe that the technological products we buy will make our lives better. And these products do have a significant effect on our lives. It's hard to argue that in some respects, things are easier or better with technology. If I had to do all of the crap I do at work without technology, it would stink. However, maybe that implies something about the type of "unproductive" work I engage in as well.
However, I do see the downsides to technology, though some (ahem! Wendell Berry) would suggest a very stringent standard for technology. The biggest problem I see is that technology supersedes relationships with people. I find myself waiting on coworkers who have to finish something on a computer before I can talk to them. And honestly, I rarely ever feel that need to do the same with others. If a person is standing in front of me, I'll drop whatever I'm doing, because I know the computer is going to be sitting there unchanged when I get back. This is simply a small example, but I'm sure most of us have been in meetings or conversations where one of us is keeping an eye on some tech device — whether it is a watch, phone, smartphone, or computer.
Most eastern cultures, still value people foremost, whereas in the West, productivity is king. Because we value productivity, we value technology, which makes us more productive. However, I'm still not sure productivity is such a great value to have. By monetizing our time, what have we really gained? Free time? What are we freeing ourselves up to do? We're still going to attach a monetary value to that free time, which simply creates an endless cycle of monetizing everything we do and then feeling guilty about how we spend our time. It's clear we've monetized time, because every word we use in relation to it has to do with money.
So maybe we don't need so much technology. Maybe technology just leads to an endless chasing after what we could already have if we simply gave up technology. If I feel my job is dependent on a significant amount of technology, then maybe my job is a pretty nebulous web of bullhonkery for a societal justification that a product was created. And maybe we should do more to re-focus our efforts on people and simply be consumed by a little less technology.
Here is a good thought provoking reading about Christians and technology.
E-mail me your thoughts while I hopelessly cling to my iPhone.

Jaydee - Plastic Dreams - 1992Epic
Throughout the Dance Music scene there are many classics. Many tunes that represent it's own place in time. A hit tune that takes you back to a certain place, a certain year, a certain club and a moment that seemed to stand still in time. It didn't matter which part of dance music you liked. It didn't matter if you were a mainstream person or a underground person. It didn't matter if you're new to the scene or old to the scene. In the end, it all comes down to one place, one moment, one song. Take this mental picture for example, you're on the dancefloor at no matter what point in time. A new song is mixed in, it breaks down, it becomes silent. But only for a few seconds, and then it starts to hit you. The bells, the keys being pounded on the Jazz Organ, the house beats. You want to sing along, but you can't. There's no words. It's all instrumental. Yes, it's "Plastic Dreams" by Jaydee. (c) Joey Rivaldo.

This morning I woke up thinking about turkey. Not the one I'm going to eat in a few hours. Two turkeys, to be precise, who go by the names "Honest" and "Abe." While driving home last night I had the privilege of hearing the President of the United States pardon these two birds and spare them from the fate of their brethren. It is a heartwarming American tradition, albeit relatively new; I was surprised to google it and learn George H. W. Bush started doing this in 1989.
But the American tradition of pardoning, of showing mercy, goes back farther. We rebuilt Japan after dropping the bomb, and we rebuilt Europe after victory there in World War II; today, former enemies are now some of our strongest allies.
Recently I went to Appomattox, where General Lee surrendered to General Grant, signaling the end of the brutal civil war that had brother fighting against brother. It was important to President Lincoln that the confederates be shown mercy, as long as they promised not to take up arms against the Union. Grant honored his commander's intent, not only issuing pardons to each soldier, but including in the terms that each confederate could keep their personal side arms and horse if they had one, so they could get home safely. Reportedly, when the confederate officers and soldiers surrendered their arms and battle flags, it took a solemn four hours, and both sides wept at the gravity of it all, and the weight that was lifted. I can hardly think of a more humbling experience to witness.
Lincoln's phrase "with charity toward all and malice toward none" is the essence of a beautiful American tradition. When I read and hear stories in the current news cycle, I wonder if young people simply missed learning about the moment that healed a war-torn nation. Many community organizers today are peddling resentment like carpetbaggers, while the communities themselves are poisoned by this sham medicine with a shiny label and a catchy hashtag, justifying violence and hatred. The reaction to this is just as sickening – anger and fear warp into genuine bigotry where at one time a live and let live attitude sufficed.
On this Thanksgiving, I am saddened that my country is once again torn by civil war. I feel angry that I can't share an opinion without fear of being verbally pummeled by half my friends, whom I respect, love, and with whom I don't always agree. I feel fearful that we've lost the humility required to live peacefully despite our differences. But when I feel angry and sad, I turn to gratitude. I look for the good, and the helpers. I look to my God to help me see what is true, and I don't fashion the truth into a weapon; I use it as a torch to keep me warm and light my path. If it lights a way for others, all the better.
Thanksgiving is the ultimate expression of humility. An entire nation pauses in our collective lives to acknowledge God as source of all blessings. It has been this way since the first Thanksgiving in 1619 at Berkeley Plantation just a few miles down the road from where I live, and in Plymouth with the pilgrims. George Washington issued a Thansgiving proclamation, and Lincoln codified it. It is the quintessential American spiritual holy day, and one we need more than ever.
May we pardon each other this Thanksgiving. May we offer clemency to those we dislike. May we be compassionate to those who, in their hurting, hurt others. May we forgive before apology is offered. May we hold no malice, and withhold no charity. May we know Who gives us life, and be grateful. May we know that we, too, are forever pardoned, maybe not by our fellows, but always by our Father.

Amethyst BioMat
Yes, many people choose to sleep on the BioMat to improve their sleep patterns. They can sleep on it, to experience a negative ion field for clean, pollution free air, an EMF protected field and at low temperature settings experience improved circulation and overall energetic rejuvenation.
No, it does not. In fact the BioMat provides you EMF (electro-magnetic frequencies) protection. When the BioMat is powered on, the bed provides a block for EMF's that might exist in your bedroom or your treatment room. What this means is that your body has relief from environmental electrical pollution for the time you spend on the mat. This is a major stress reliever for many.
The BioMat is unique science. It uses only a DC (non-toxic) current to power the bed. This is all that is needed to heat the ceramics in the mat which then heat the EMF protective fibers and amethyst crystals to produce the far-infrared light. Amethysts provide the longest light ray, therefore the description far infrared light. Amethysts allow the BioMat to provide a light that then warms your core encouraging pain relief, stress reduction, and a heightened sense of well-being.

Did BLS Report Bogus Jobless Stats Before 2012 Election?
Censusgate is one of the latest in the Scandalpalooza of the Obama Presidency. See this article in the Washington Post.
Remember when the unemployment numbers dropped two months before the 2012 elections? It seems like maybe the Census Bureau may have reported some imaginary numbers to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who may have known the numbers were hinky and reported them anyway, or at least that's the allegation. From The WP article:
In late August 2011, a manila envelope containing evidence of falsified data was sent to Keith Hall, who was then in charge of the BLS. "The Philadelphia Regional office [of Census] … engaged in a cover-up after it was reported that members of its staff falsified data in an effort to meet goals," said the anonymous letter, a copy of which I have in front of me.
The letter identified the two supervisors who arranged the cover-up.
"In an effort to satisfy the sponsor [the BLS] … the numbers were literally made up," said the tipster.
The BLS never acted on the letter. And that's ironic because Hall, who was pushed out of the Labor Department in 2012, had been skeptical of the truthfulness of the BLS's jobless numbers.
There's a lot more at the source link. Y'all should check it out. I remember a lot of us shaking our heads back in September of 2012 when the Democrats began touting Obama's magical "recovery". If it looks too good to be true, y'all, it probably is, is all I'm sayin'.

Erectile dysfunction is probably the thing that is most obvious to relate with the decrease in their libido but as we age our hormone levels go down, our serotonin hormone levels, testosterone, for women – progesterone and estrogen. And as those levels decline both genders have a decreased interest in sex. So for men maybe they are less interested in sex at 35 than they were in 18 but they still have an interest. Once you get to erectile dysfunction, then you are sort of "what is going on?".
And that does indicate other health issues in your body. If the arteries that cause an erection are not functioning well, then the arteries in your heart and the arteries in your brain have the same health. It is a real indicator of heart disease; it is a real indicator of diabetes. You should have that treated because the treatment for that will also benefit to your heart.
What are the treatments that will help to boost your libido? Well first and foremost is testosterone. And it is not just a male hormone. Testosterone will improve libido in women and men. What happens is there is a complex chemical cascade in the brain. than nitric oxide is released. That molecule causes smooth muscles to relax which allows blood to flow into arteries. Well, that is health for everything. Whether you are talking about you liver, your heart, or your ability to have an erection. If you can't get clitoral engorgement because those arteries are relaxed, and then it is harder to have an orgasm for a woman or for a man.
So this is a matter they need to go in and have a test done to see what their levels are. A knowledgeable doctor should be able to test for levels of testosterone in a man or a woman. And the levels are different. But to be able to say "yeah, your levels are not optimal."
