Living room
How to make your living room as comfortable as possible? Let's see.
A good living room doesn't have to be large but it surely must fulfil all the needs of the master of the house. If you often receive guests your living room must be organised in a way that allows you to make some space free for dancing. If your guests are talkative people you should just be able to have a sitting area where they would feel comfortable while drinking something or having a snack and telling you the latest news.
An appropriate living room should also be adopted for your being on your own – reading, writing something on your laptop. It should have a good lighting and not be clattered with unnecessary stuff.
Decoration is also an important part of your living room design. Keep the intimate stuff in your bedroom or closet but show here your one and only expensive painting that you had finally bought after some time of saving money for it, or an extravagant vase that looked so appealing in a shop that you couldn't resist buying it. All this might impress your guests if you wish to do that from time to time.
To be continued next Saturday.
Like and share it with your friends!

Christmas can be a very stressful and anxious time for many. The financial stress only part of it, many dread spending time with family preferring to avoid arguments, for others they may not have family or friends to spend the festive season with. Hopefully this blog will provide some useful suggestions how to manage what can be a stressful time of year.
If you would prefer to avoid the festive season altogether, then you might consider going on a holiday. There are many last minute deals available and if you don't fancy a busy airport then look into exploring your home country. On your own or if friends can't travel with you then companies such as Intrepid or Tucan Travel offer group or individual tours (there are many more you just have to check online). You simply chose your destination, type of tour (comfort, basic or active) length of stay, then sit back and look forward to your holiday. A guide will be there to meet you at the hotel on the start date along with up to ten or more travellers from all around the globe. Together you will head off and explore all the sights, experience the culture, the food, the music and learn some history maybe even the local language. Don't want to be with the group all the time, there are days set aside for you to go off and do your own thing. I have done this type of travelling for over over seven years and I have enjoyed it immensely, visiting South America, Cuba, India, Thailand and Africa. I have made some friends along the way and have since gone to visit some of them in their home countries. Other holiday options include what I term hobby holidays. Into yoga, photography, cycling, walking, writing, there are many holidays catered to these interests. If there is a reason you can't go on holiday maybe consider booking something for January, sometimes having something to look forward to can help you get through difficult days.
If a holiday is not an option, then have you considered volunteering over the holidays or even on Christmas Day? In Dublin for example there is the Big Feed in the RDS where they provide food and entertainment for the homeless. You can sign up to help out on the day and feel better knowing that you helped make the day that little bit special for someone else. Check out your local community notice boards or ring around organisations to see if they need a helping hand, you don't need experience to help serve food, make tea or sit and chat to someone.
Don't have family to spend Christmas with then reach out to friends. Find out what they are doing, why not ask can you go along for dinner or pop over later in the evening? They may think you have other plans or imagine the last thing you might want to do is spend it with them and their family, so bite the bullet and ask. Other friends on their own? Why not invite them around to yours? Do a pot luck each person brings a dish that way you're not left doing all the cooking. Suggest a Chris Kindle that way everyone gets a present but there is not the huge expense of buying gifts for everyone. Remember sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns ask, suggest or arrange, put aside your fear of rejection, others because of their own fear of rejection may not. If for a variety of reasons you will be on your own, go on line. Websites such as meetup.com have a number of social groups that arrange activities around this time. For example in Dublin there is a walking group meeting on Christmas morning and a number of other groups are arranging social events to celebrate New Years Eve. There are so many groups on this website it would be difficult to not find something to cater to your interests and if not, you have option to establish your own group. Check out the website for more information. If you are unable to go outdoors check out Sarah Millicans #Joinin which goes live on Twitter Christmas day. Other people who can't go out or who are on their own reach out and chat to each other on the day using the hash tag #joinin. Loose Women are also running a campaign Lighten the Load offering a forum where people suffering from mental health issues can reach out, talk, listen and support others in a similar situation.
If you suffer from social anxiety, depression or low mood disorder this time of the year can be extremely difficult due to the large number of social engagements and Christmas parties that you may be invited to. If attending causes anxiety you may turn down invites leaving you sometimes with feelings of guilt and worrying that people might think you are a bit of a part pooper. Remember though that you are still a good, kind, friendly person even if you do say no. Saying no to others is allowing you to say yes to yourself, it is okay for you to make yourself a priority. So let go the guilt and love yourself. If you would like to attend social events choose smaller ones and go with someone you feel comfortable with. Too anxious to go out or have no events to attend but would like to get into the festive spirit then why not organise an event at home where you will feel comfortable, you can also control who you invite choosing people you feel most comfortable around and who love and accept you for you.
If you have to spend family with friends there is a couple of things you can do to reduce your stress. Firstly, if invited for dinner then only show up thirty to sixty minutes beforehand and ensure to leave an hour or two afterwards or as soon as you begin to feel anxious. If you can't manage the fuss of dinner why not arrange to visit for a Christmas breakfast or tea instead. Another useful tip when dealing with people who you find are difficult, challenging or confrontational is to breath, step back, think then respond. It is important to acknowledge that this time of the year can be stressful for everyone and sometimes people while not meaning to hurt you, can say or do things that do. For your own personal development I think it can be useful to question for yourself why it hurt you, that way you can work on it, the next time hopefully it wont be as painful. Finally never forget that sometimes your best response is silence.
Speaking of family or friends when it comes to buying gifts for our loved ones some people believe or think the bigger and more expensive the better. Deep down though we all know that the people who love us only really care about the thought that was put into the gift and not the price tag. If you don't have a lot of money to buy gifts and are worrying about the expense of Christmas then try to think outside the box. If you are creative make a gift, knit the scarf or hat, write a poem, take a photograph and frame it, paint a picture, bake a cake, create vouchers offering babysitting services, or vouchers for lunch, dinner, cinema dates that can be cashed in 2017, that way you don't have the cost of gifts now but instead spread it out in the new year. For children, nieces or nephews create vouchers for a day out to the zoo, swimming, cinema, the local panto whatever your budget can afford. Children get so many toys this time of the year and the promise of a day out will be so much more exciting and is creating fantastic fun memories for them to enjoy in the future. So before you start buying gifts consider that the best you can give anyone is the gift of your time. The memory and feeling of it will last longer for all.
This festive season and in your life in general it is okay for you to make yourself a priority. You are allowed to choose your own happiness and peace of mind. So this Christmas do what suits you, what you like to do, what makes you happy. Compromise is important just never sacrifice your own happiness for the happiness of others.
If despite your best efforts to stay positive and you are dreading the festive season it is important to remember Christmas day is only 24 hours. It can be difficult but try get outdoors for a walk, day light and being surrounded by nature can really help with lifting your mood. Finally, remember to be the best gift to yourself, be kind and do something that makes you smile and feel good.
Happy Christmas, wishing you good mental health in 2017.
The Samaritans 'Give the Gift of You' this Christmas is their latest campaign encouraging us to enjoy a #RealChristmas and to give the gift of listening to our loved ones.

From a young age, we learn the importance of plastering a cut. We practice playing doctors and nurses; attempting to cure any ailment (real or imaginary) our parents may have had with our bandages and a plastic stethoscope. As we grow older, we develop the skill of empathy. We can walk in another's shoes, understanding how someone feels when they have a stomach ache or flu, observing the physical disabilities people suffer from. We empathize with people and try to help them recover as best as we can.
We all know the vital importance of good health. So why does this all seem to disappear when it comes to mental health?
When you speak out, when you find the courage, to be honest with yourself and others – you will NEVER regret it. We are all human. We all have good days and not so good days. So we are inviting you right here, right now, to be honest.

Hello, we're happy you found us and are allowing us the opportunity to help you spoil your furry family member.
A little bit about us - we're a family owned pet boutique for dogs, cats & their people too. We're inspired by the love of our lives - our furry babies. They are our family, they keep us smiling, make us laugh (sometimes uncontrollably) and they give us more "awww" moments than we can count.
Our favorite pastime - spoiling our babies of course! We're always on the lookout for the latest fun, cute & trendy goodies we think they'll love. There's nothing better than seeing the excitement and the crazy wiggles & giggles while our babies wait for a treat or watching them have fun playing with their toys or snuggling in and sleeping so peacefully in their (or our) cozy beds...
We opened our online pet boutique in August 2008. A few short months later in April 2009 we opened our retail store in Southern NJ in the quaint village of Rancocas Woods. We wanted to share what we've learned regarding healthy food choices for our pets. We specially selected only natural foods, treats, supplements and grooming products along with all the fun, cute & trendy goodies we feel comfortable feeding or using on our own dogs. If it's not good enough for our furry kids, it's not good enough for yours! In June 2012, we made the decision to close our retail store and go strictly mobile with our online pet boutique.
If you don't see what you're looking for, let us know and we'll certainly try our best to find it for you. We update our site frequently, so we hope you'll check back often.
Thanks so much for the taking time to learn a little about us!

Forced into a reluctant partnership with Matthew Lassiter, a sea-scarred man who shares her dream, Tare soon learns that her attractive, arrogant fellow diver, holds as many secrets as the sea itself.

Booklist Review
Feisty marine archaeologist Tate Beaumont lives for the challenge of retrieving sunken treasure from the depths of the ocean. Years ago, her life had a more personal focus, namely, one Matthew Lassiter, but he destroyed her hopes, and work became her passion. She returned to college with a vengeance, and Matthew retreated to the frozen North where he works as a salvage diver. Now Tate's father plans to ask Matthew and his uncle to help him find "Angelique's Curse," a ruby-and-diamond-encrusted amulet, rumored to have been worn by the witch Angelique as she was burned at the stake centuries before. The Beaumonts and the Lassiters weather their new and tentative partnership on turbulent waters, united by an obsession matched in intensity by only one man--an insane collector who has already committed murder in pursuit of "Angelique's Curse": Matthew's father. Perennial best-seller Roberts has crafted a thrilling treasure-hunt with a trademark edge. One of her most suspenseful tales to date, this novel, a Literary Guild main selection slated for national television advertising, will surely lure a veritable feeding frenzy of fans. --Melanie Duncan
Library Journal Review
The Reef represents Roberts (Rising Tides, Audio Reviews, LJ 11/1/98) at the top of her form. Not only does the novel have a passionate, compelling love story at its center, but it is rich with intrigue, suspense, and a full complement of fascinating characters. Roberts's skill at pumping the written momentum aides Sandra Burr's virtuoso performance. Her warm Southern drawl encapsulates the essence of Tate Beaumont and her family: their warmth, humor, and commitment to loving life itself. Matthew Lassiter and his contingent are given equal measure with deeper tones, more northerly accents, and a thirst for revenge that blots out any expectation for happiness. Even Burr's narration, steady and inviting, elevates the reading to greater heights. The story is occasionally wordy, but the pleasure of Burr's performance is worth the time. Highly recommended for all fiction collections.Jodi L. Israel, Jamaica Plain, MA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

No. The Georgia Department of Revenue has ruled that the charitable fund may not be used to pay for a tax credit for an individual (single or married) or a corporation. For more information, contact your tax professional or the trustee/custodian of your charitable fund.
I received an e-mail from GRACE confirming my pre-registration. Does this mean that I have been approved for tax credit by the Department of Revenue?
Actually, the confirmation e-mail means that you have provided GRACE with the information and and authorization to apply for your tax credit to the Georgia Department of Revenue's online portal . GRACE will apply for your tax credit on the first business day in January. The department has 30 days for the date of the request to notify the donor of approval. In recent years, taxpayers have been receiving their approval letters in January.
The donor will learn in mid January 2018. The donor will receive an approval letter from the Georgia Department of Revenue. The letter will be dated within 30 days of the date that the tax credit application was submitted (i.e., January 2, 2018).
Donors have 60 days from the date of the approval letter to make their payments. The earliest that donors can make payments is on day one of the 60-day period. When the 60-day period expires, there are no extensions, and the tax credit is void.
The tax year is the year that you make your donation to GRACE. Pre-registrations are usually submitted to GRACE the year before the tax year. Tax returns are filed the year after the tax year.
Here is an example:
Donor submits his/her pre-registration for a 2018 tax credit to GRACE in 2017.
Donor makes his/her donation to GRACE in 2018 – that is the tax year.
Donor files tax return with the Georgia Department for 2018 in 2019.
Yes, we take your privacy and the security of your personal data very seriously. E-mail addresses will not be sold, rented or leased to 3rd parties. The sensitive data you provided to us is used solely by GRACE. Your information is 1) encrypted in transit from you to us, 2) encrypted at rest while it stays on our server and 3) and only decrypted at time of use. Always look for the HTTPS:// or Protecting Lock when accessing our TLS/SSL encrypted forms.
No. The Georgia Department of Revenue has ruled that the rollover is not eligible for the education tax credit. For more information, contact your tax professional or the trustee/custodian of your IRA.
GRACE Scholars is a Georgia nonprofit corporation and tax exempt charity. GRACE has met the requirements for designation as a student scholarship organization (SSO) in Georgia. Because GRACE is an SSO, Georgia taxpayers can redirect part of their tax liability to GRACE and qualify for a generous tax benefit created by the Georgia legislature – a 100 percent tax credit. As GRACE is a tax exempt charity (501-c-3 organization), gifts to GRACE may also qualify as charitable contributions under federal law.
GRACE was founded by Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta and Bishop J. Kevin Boland of Savannah in 2008 to take advantage of the SSO/tax credit legislation. Since then more than 3,000 taxpayers have redirected part of their Georgia income taxes to GRACE which, in turn, has awarded scholarships to students wishing to attend Georgia Catholic Schools. All students receiving GRACE awards have demonstrated financial need.
GRACE provides tuition assistance to students with demonstrated financial need who wish to attend Georgia Catholic schools that participates in GRACE.
The contribution process is described here.
The answer depends on your Georgia tax filing status:
- Married filing jointly: Up to the lesser of $2,500 per year or your Georgia income tax liability.
- Married filing separately: Up to the lesser of $1,250 per year per spouse or your Georgia income tax liability.
- Single or head of household: Up to the lesser $1,000 per year or or your Georgia income tax liability.
Individuals owning interests in pass through entities (such as 'S' corporations, LLC's, and partnerships) are eligible for an enhanced tax credit of up to $10,000.
More information for owners of pass-through entities can be found here.
- 'C' corporation: Up to 75 percent of the estimated Georgia income tax liability.
- Fiduciaries (estates and taxable trusts): Up to 75 percent of the estimated Georgia income tax liability.
Under certain circumstances, unused credits can be carried forward for up to 5 years. Contact your tax professional for details.
Yes. You may contribute a lesser amount up to the maximum limit (see FAQ – How much can I contribute? ) based on your filing status.
A tax credit is significantly more beneficial than a deduction. A credit reduces your Georgia taxes dollar-for-dollar. A deduction reduces the taxable income to which the applicable tax rate is applied.
For example, suppose a taxpayer redirects $1,000 to GRACE. A 100 percent tax credit reduces the taxpayer's Georgia income tax by $1,000. One the other hand, the state income tax rate for most Georgians is 6 percent. So a $1,000 deduction from income would only generate a $60 reduction in taxes. The difference is 100 cents on the dollar for a credit and 6 cents on the dollar for a deduction.
Georgia allocates a limited amount tax credits each year to the program. The approval letter indicates that the taxpayer's redirection of taxes qualifies for a tax credit.
Yes. You can designate any Catholic school participating in GRACE.
You can also designate your redirection to the Board Choice (BC) fund or the Economically Disadvantage Family Fund (EDFF), which serves the poorest of GRACE's families and students. BC and EDFF funds are allocated to schools by the GRACE board of directors.
You may split your contributions among up to three designations.
You can find the information and forms here.
When a student is awarded GRACE financial assistance, the award covers the years until the student completes the highest grade at the school. The award is reviewed annually to determine continuing financial need, to assess whether the student remains in good standing with the school, and to affirm the student is a resident of Georgia.
Yes. The maximum scholarship is the lowest of the following:
- The student's calculated financial need (CFN)
- 80% of the tuition rate applicable to the student
- An index of per-pupil public school spending in Georgia – the index is established annually by the Georgia Department of Education

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police amateur radio Group in Ottawa will be operating a Special Event Station VE3RCMPduring the Field Day contest weekend, June 28-29, 2014. We plan also to activate the call sign during the RAC Canada Day Contest July 1st.
The Special Event Amateur Station will be commemorating the 75th anniversary of the first RCMP owned and operated radio-to-patrol-car dispatch system that was commissioned in the fall of 1939 using the call sign VY8T and thus initiated a continuing Radio Support-Service within Force. VE3RCMP during Field Day will be operated by current and retired members of what is currently known as the RCMP National Radio Services Directorate, Ottawa.
The last time VE3RCMP was obtained for field day operations was in 1989 during the the 50th anniversary. We hope the 4 letter suffix will not cause too much confusion to other FD contest station operators.
Special QSL cards are being prepared to confirm contacts with VE3RCMP.

track down whatever was interfering with his radio transmission.
The culprit? Marijuana grow operations, whose powerful grow lights can emit
interference blocking radio broadcasts on the ham and AM spectrums.
The first grower he encountered wasn't pleased to know Thompson, now 73,
could tell what was going on. "He said, 'What are you going to do, call the
cops?' Thompson said. "And I said, 'Well no, it's a federal matter.
' With 22 states and the District of Columbia allowing medical marijuana,
and Colorado and Washington permitting recreational use, there's been an
explosion in the number of people growing their own pot, much of it indoors.
With that growth has come increasing interference from the grow lights,
which suck down huge amounts of electricity to shine upon budding marijuana
plants. Growing pot indoors is usually more secure and gives the grower more
control over light, water and insects, which results in higher-quality
plants commanding a premium price.
The interference problems from one type of system have gotten so bad that
the amateur radio association, ARRL, filed a formal federal complaint on
behalf of the country's 720,000 licensed ham operators. The problems are
worse in Colorado and California, said Sean Kutzko, an ARRL spokesman.
The interference is caused by what are known as "ballasts," electronic
systems controlling the grow lights. Unless they're properly shielded, the
ballasts can throw off a wide range of interference. "We're seeing numerous
cases … and that's causing us a problem," Kutzko said. "We just want to
make sure the manufacturers are in compliance with FCC laws. The FCC has the
power to regulate anything that interferes with licensed radio
transmissions, such as ham sets, but also cellphones and AM radios.

"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!

What a change a week makes!
Then after all that news I start seeing absolutely crazy posts about people going nuts about the Confederate flag. I didn't know how the shooting and the Confederate flag played in together until a friend told me that the shooter was pictured with the Confederate flag in the background or holding it. And the news kept coming....soon their were calls to change the name of streets, schools and monuments....even the Dukes of Hazard because they had some relation to the South's past......
My great great grandfather fought in the War on the South's side. He was no slave owner. He lived as a small farmer near the banks of the Steinhatchee River in Dixie county. From what I understand of our family's history, his parents or grand parents were probably indentured servants themselves. He lived well into my grandmother's and great aunt's life time and talked about the War to them. From every story I was told ( and believe me they didn't try to tidy up anything) he fought for state's rights. He had no dream of owning slaves. I'm not saying that slavery was not a part of the War but it was not the only part at all.
I have no great love for a Confederate flag, don't think we have one. I don't really care if it flies at a state capital or not. But I do care about the rewriting or sanitizing of history
What came to my mind immediately upon hearing all this crazed rabid talk, was that we are living in a country that is becoming like communistic China. Our history is being rewritten and erased.....that is exactly what happens in other countries. Are we going to let it happen here? That worries me.
So Wal-mart and other companies are no longer selling Confederate flags or things that have that image on it. But yet they sell nasty music and other things? Come on.....this is nuts!
The CF has never represented to me slavery or racism. I've seen black people wear clothes with CF flag symbols on them. When I think of the CF (which I don't too often) it just symbolizes the South.
You know everyone has differences. Southern folks are different from Northern folks. I have more in common with a Southern black person than I do with a Northern white city person. That's the truth. I lived up north in NYC for about 5 years, I really know there is a difference. It's not that one kind of person is better, just different.
Now I do think about my friends who are black, I don't want to see anyone hurt by anything but I don't really think this was a real issue.
It amazes me how something gets all blown up in the media!
What the media SHOULD be focusing on is the love and forgiveness that the church and family of the victims are showing.
A flag did not cause this shooting. I've seen a picture of the shooter holding a burning American Flag. Does that mean that we attack the American Flag next? I've seen it called for already.....
And don't blame the gun....There are millions of gun owners in America who will never use a gun for a wrong purpose.
We have several security plans in place for our church. I'm not going to discuss them here but we are prepared if we ever have to deal with something like this. It could happen. We had something happen a few months ago that made us all more cognitive of the need to be prepared.
Did you know there was ANOTHER church shooting last weekend? A black man killed five people in a black church. I just caught a snippet of a news piece about it. Isn't that interesting? A black on black crime is not widely reported by the media.....
When a Muslim extremist does something we are told that the person(s) are not acting for the whole group. Yet when something like this happens, the media goes nuts. And every talking head or politician is busy trying to out do each other.
Folks we live in crazy times.

The story is tragic on so many levels, but the families really demonstrated so much godliness in the midst of so much evil. I'm not sure I would pass that test!ReplyDelete
In as much as I detest liberal engaging in historical revisionism, I think we conservatives can also fall into the same trap when trying to make our point. I think the confederate flag issue is one such instance. I'm definitely not an expert - I've only just taken more of an interest in light of all that has transpired. However from all I've read, no one claimed it represented a rejection of government overreach until almost 40 years after the civil war. Instead, most of the states that were seceding expressly stated that they were departing from the union because of slavery (and their support for it). The flag sort of lost significance until its popularity was resurrected during the civil rights era as an emblem of those in support of segregation. Though people can say what it means to them personally, that does not negate its history. If we were to take everything aside, for me personally, I am not sure how people can claim and take pride in a symbol that represents treason.
I had not heard of the 5 people killed in s church by an African American. I tried researching the story and came up empty. It sounded like something Rush Limbaugh might make up!Replies
I saw a snippet of a black man being led away in handcuffs while a church member of the small church discussed what happened last Sunday it was on a news channel. I too tried looking it up on line and could not find it but I'm not the best at finding things and anything with "church shooting" in it went back to the SC shooting. The man killed his wife, 2 kids and 2 church members. That much I caught from the news station. I don't' watch/listen to Rush. LOLDelete
The CF we see today is just one of many from that time frame. Different units used different flags. I do believe that the Civil War was over states' rights more than anything els
If you read the declarations of secession from the states in the confederacy, they expressly mention slavery as a reason for departure from the union. South Carolina: ....an increasing hostility to the institution of slavery by non slaveowning states has led to a disregard of their obligations..... Mississippi: our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest in the world. Reading the secession declarations in my mind is the final authority on the reason for the civil war - it's in their own words and not anyone else's interpretation. I guess one can argue the civil war was more about state rights (since ironically all the states trying to secede were slave owning states) they must have wanted to protect this "right" to own another human being!ReplyDelete

Dr. John B. King, Jr.
President and CEO of The Education Trust
Former Inquiry 2000 cohort member, Dr. John B.

As secretary, Dr. King brought a continued commitment to advancing excellence and equity for every student, supporting educators and elevating the teaching profession, and improving college affordability and completion rates.
Before becoming secretary, Dr. King served since January 2015 at the Department as principal senior advisor. In that role, he carried out the duties of the deputy secretary, overseeing all preschool-through-12th-grade education policies, programs, and strategic initiatives, as well as the operations of the Department. Dr. King carried out this work with a focus on increasing equity, improving educational outcomes for all students, and closing achievement gaps through implementation of key administration priorities in areas including early learning, elementary and secondary education, special education, English language acquisition, and innovation.
Prior to his arrival at the Department, Dr. King served since 2011 as the Commissioner of Education for the state of New York. In that role, he served as Chief Executive Officer of the State Education Department and as President of the University of the State of New York, overseeing the state's elementary and secondary schools (serving 3.1 million students), public, independent and proprietary colleges and universities, libraries, museums, and numerous other educational institutions. Dr. King was one of the nation's youngest state education leaders at the time of his appointment and the first African-American and Puerto Rican to serve as New York State Education Commissioner.
Dr. King earned a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Harvard University, a Master of Arts in the Teaching of Social Studies from Teachers College, Columbia University, a J.D. from Yale Law School, and a Doctor of Education degree in Educational Administrative Practice from Teachers College, Columbia University . Dr. King was a 1995 Truman Scholar and received the James Madison Memorial Fellowship for secondary-level teaching of American history, American government, and social studies. Prior to joining the Department, in February 2011, Dr. King was appointed by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to serve on the U.S. Department of Education's Equity and Excellence Commission. In addition, Dr. King served on the board of New Leaders for New Schools from 2005 to 2009, and is a 2008 Aspen Institute-New Schools Entrepreneurial Leaders for Public Education Fellow.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
I hope your Saturday has be enjoyable, as for me I had an early start into town in order to go carol singing with the Choral Society. I don't think my voice was at it's best this morning, but I wasn't alone in there were a few croaks. Anyhow, I think the main attraction was the gorgeous Guide Dogs which accompanied their folk to collect money, this is our chosen charity this year. They are just so wonderful dogs and although they were strictly speaking working as they all had on their harnesses, people were allowed to speak to them and pat them. It will be a week or so before the total amount collected is announced, we usually make between £2000-£3000 at the Carolthon.
Thank you everyone who left lovely comments on my last card and also for the kind wishes about my accident. Both Alistair and I were remarking on just how tired we are today and have come to the conclusion that it's been all the stress of the week.
Anyway I do have a card for you, it's one that's taken me a few evening to make as there was quite a bit to it. I'm pretty impressed with it especially as I was using a paste thing for decoration.
I have to say I love this stamp and I may get the others in the range, they are all scenes and the card examples in the mag have been created by Jak Heath who is one of their designers.
Well, thats my contribution to Blogland tonight, enjoy the rest of your evening,

Too Much To Tivo is turning the tables on the choreographers, each week judging their artistry, uniqueness and how well they complimented the contestants.
Jason Gilkison, samba (Marko & Chelsie Hightower) -- This fast samba was based on a photographer and his muse. Jason put together a fun piece that showed Marko can excel at other dance forms, but really highlighted Chelsie's amazing Ballroom technique.
Dwight Rhoden & Desmond Richardson, contemporary (Jordan & Brandon) -- What's there to say about Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson? The two choreographers brought a breath of fresh air to what has been predictable contemporary routines over the past several weeks. Nigel Lythgoe said it best" Dwight and Desmond are two of the best contemporary choreographers."
Cuck Maldonado, hip hop (Tadd & Comfort) -- Chuck Maldonado choreographed what he called a "hard-hitting" routine for Tadd and Comfort. I don't know how Chuck managed to make bboyer Tadd, who has been able to successfully pull off Ballroom and contemporary, look weak. While the judges praised the routine, it looked like Comfort and Tadd were off from each other most of the dance.
Tyce Diorio, Broadway (Mitchell & Melody) -- Tyce Diorio hasn't had a great year thus far. This Broadway routine was boring. Tyce could have done a lot more with Mitchell, but it was flat and generic. Guest judge Neil Patrick Harris slammed Tyce's "airplane" theme, calling it disjointed and not thought out.
Miriam & Leonardo, Argentine tango, (Caitlynn & Pasha) -- Caitlynn is one of my favorite girls and I have always loved Pasha, but I was extremely bored by this tango number. But Mary Murphy seemed to enjoy it, giving Caitlynn and Miriam and Leonardo a standing ovation. This was the first Argentine tango of the season and Murphy said "it was worth the wait."
Christopher Scott, hip hop (Sasha & Twitch) -- Chris Scott is the choreographer to beat in Season 8. I love Nap and Tabs, but Chris has such a unique hip-hop style that adds an interesting fusion of lyrical/contemporary.
Stacey Tookey, contemporary (Jess & Kathryn) -- This contemporary piece is about not being able to see what is right in front of your eyes. Jess and Kathryn make no eye contact during the piece, as Kathryn is unable to "see" Jess. While I don't think Jess performed this dance extremely well, the choreography was so beautiful that it saved him from the bottom three.
Jason Gilkinson, Viennese Waltz, (Melanie & Pasha) -- This dance proved that no matter what style, if you have a strong dancer they can make absolutely anything look good. The Viennese waltz is typically one of the death dances on SYTYCD, making this routine even more special. The Viennese waltz was this week's triple threat: perfect music, elegant choreography and amazing dancers.
Tyce Diorio, jazz, (Ricky & Allison) -- Tyce redeemed himself with this jazz routine about waking up from a bad dream. Nigel praised Tyce, saying he enjoys when he moves away from Broadway routines with numbers where he can be more "free." I think Tyce needs to stop doing Broadway completely and stick to contemporary/jazz numbers, which is where he shines.
Nakul Dev Mahajan, Bollywood (Clarice & Robert) -- I can't really get excited about Bollywood, but this routine brought the judges to their feet. Neil Patrick Harris said Nakul gave Clarice a dance that allowed her to finally connect with the audience.

Attention all Gray Rangers:
The Ranger Charter has officially been adopted by all Southern Kingdoms, Korindia (obeying all customs), and select Desert Princes. Negotiations are ongoing with Dregordia, resolution to be announced.
As the Charter and responsibility of the Rangers grows, so too does the requirement for greater organization. As such two new "Regional Commands" have been established (in addition to central command at Kythros), Coastline for far Western/Coastal forces and Echer'Naught for North and West Olara, North-west Wildlands and remote stations as designated.
Stemming from a conversation on Ranger identification, and officially endorsed by SPF, what follows should become standard for rank identification among Rangers. Based on an existing Olaran model, each Ranger should recieve the following item along with a promotion. When promoted, however, Rangers should turn in their old insignia and recieve the new. The three main sources for these are Kythros, Coastline and Echer'Naught in Olara, should a party not have sufficient local resources or talent. As the policy propogates, more Regional Commands will begin production and distribution as they are further estbalished.
Ranger Trainees- Lighter weight and green color Cloak w/ simple pin clasp

Would you like guidance on choosing a detoxification program, or your first or additional cleanses?
Detoxification is part of a balanced program to heal oneself and maintain
good health. While people receive colon hydrotherapy, they have the option
of going deeper. Going deeper is organ cleansing, heavy metal detox, parasite
cleansing and industrial chemical chelation.
Why Detox or Cleanse?
What are your options?
Sonne's Organic Foods, Inc
psyllium, bentonite, beet, wheat grass
Dr. Clark
parasites, liver, kidney
Pure Joy Planet
Elaina Love gives periodic cleanses coordinate online.
Dr Schulze American Botanical Pharmacy
The Intestinal Formula 1 is a laxative. Intestinal Formula 2 cleans the walls of the intestines a number of ways.
Global Healing is the company of Group DC. His base product is a magnesium oxide laxative formula. He has cleanses for organs, metals and more.
Blessed Herbs
A gentle cleansing program
The number or frequency of colonics is individual and can be combined with
enema or laxative use at home. Major detoxification or cleansing programs
require daily elimination using laxatives, enemas and colonics. Classic programs
are: 3 colonics one at beginning, middle and end of 7-day cleanse; 5 colonics
for a 2-week cleanse; 8 colonics for a 28-day cleanse.
Most cleanses are designed with enough laxative to help you eliminate every day. You have to be able to eliminate first to initiate a bowel cleanse although many of you are taking on a cleanse to help you eliminate. For those that eliminate well, it's easier. However, the majority of people are stuffed up and with sluggish bowel muscles. The 2016 bowel is more like a sack than a muscle. One goal of a bowel detox and colon hydrotherapy is to help restore peristalsis, the natural muscle motion of your gut.

Young Ice is the past tense of water, is verb condensed to noun, pure speed contracted to a stasis of glitter, a brief foam frozen in marble beads, the memories that can't recede. It is the practice of winter habits, of hibernating inhabitants hoarding the landscape, seeds and nuts, while the wind scratches, huffs and pants, and all the leaves are a frosty mint. The maples creak, seeming to say, Be hard, be cold in what you know. The dark pines darken and agree; clutching their needles, they won't bow. The gables on all the houses glow; icicles stretch like falling figures, sleek, seasonal bodies of Icarus, translucence where the sunlight staggers, and sand, though it slides and slides, can't pass from the top half of the hourglass.

If you love to cook, a dishwasher can be your best friend. Unfortunately, many of us abuse our dishwashers, which leads to dirty dishes and frequent breakdowns. Use these six tips from Patterson Plumbing to get the most out of your trusty appliance.
Clean your plates before you load them into your dishwasher. Nobody wants to wash their dishes before they wash their dishes, but putting a food-covered plate into the dishwasher hurts performance and can cause clogs.
Run hot water before starting the dishwasher. Before you start a load of dishes, run your sink until the water feels hot to the touch. This way, your dishwasher won't have to warm up.
Make sure your water is ideal for washing dishes. Not all water is created equal. Hard water, or water with a high mineral content, is tough on dishes and doesn't provide a spot-free clean.
Know what can't go in your dishwasher. Putting the wrong thing in your dishwasher can damage both the item and the appliance. Common no-no's include vintage plates, wooden utensils, and bottles with the labels still on.
Load your dishwasher strategically. There is a right way and a wrong way to load a dishwasher. For best results, place large plates and pots on the bottom rack, facing towards the center. Cups, plastic tupperware, and smaller dinnerware are reserved for the top rack.
Give your dishwasher a little TLC. A little bit of care can go a long way towards maintaining your dishwasher. Routinely clean the seal and trap, and run an empty load with a cup of white vinegar to keep your dishwasher running like new.
Looking for more ways to maximize the effectiveness of your dishwasher? Check out these tips from The Kitchn.
Neglecting to care for your dishwasher can cause the appliance to malfunction, and even damage your plumbing system. Luckily for you, the experts at Patterson Plumbing are just a phone call away. If you live in Pueblo County, Colorado, call us for all of your plumbing repair needs at (719) 544-4922.

For children from the ages 5-17, or anyone who wouldn't like to look immature on Facebook by using curse words, Bad Ask is a way to say Bad Ass politely and so that no one will pass judgement upon your immaturity. Often used to dodge angry parents or teachers at school. Any adjective may be inserted in place of Bad, such as Dumb, Amazing, Bruised, or Sore. Pretty much, this word can be placed anywhere the word ASS would be placed and you can get away with saying it anywhere, anytime. Even in Church.
I'm such a dumb ask, this chick with an absolutely mind-blowing ask was talking to me last night and she offered to let me ram her sexy ask. But I was so drunk offa my fat, white ask that I let it slide out from underneath me! But. I still am a bad ask, check out this hickey I gave myself this morning!

I'm excited to be returning to Rancho La Puerta, one of the top spas in North America (in Tecate, Mexico, near San Diego) in late April for another "Rancho Reads and Writes" with Leslie Levine and Sam Barry. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who aspires to write or is simply a passionate and dedicated reader to learn about the inner workings of the publishing industry, and experiment with writing fiction or nonfiction in a relaxed setting.
I'll be talking about "Writing and Reading in the Digital Age"–an exploration of how the dizzying changes in technology are transforming the way we read and write, receive, shape and share content. And I'll be leading our bookclub discussion of M. L. Stedman's stunning novel, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS, a moving story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who live on the edge of the world and find themselves making difficult moral choices that have consequences for others. This exquisitely written novel by an Australian writer explores the role of history, memory, time, and isolation, in our lives.
Together with my colleagues, Leslie Levine and Sam Barry, we'll be offering workshops in fiction writing, getting your work published, and so much more. We'll also be available for informal chats around the pool and beautiful grounds.
Here are more details:
Write for your Life, with Leslie Levine, Sam Barry and Joëlle Delbourgo –Saturday 8 pm
Write that Book Already: The Tough Love You Need to Get Published Now, with Sam Barry – Sunday 5 pm
Reading and Writing in the Digital Age, with Joëlle Delbourgo – Monday 4 pm
The publishing industry is in a great state of flux, indeed transformation. We will examine the forces that are reshaping the industry, forces that are changing the relationship of writer to the reader, and vice versa. We will look at how the impact of e-readers, mobile smart phones, and merging technologies affect what we read, how we read, when we read. Do we value content enough to pay for it? Is the book as we know it dead, or are we entering an age of limitless possibility for the written word?
The Craft of Writing: Nonfiction with Leslie Levine – Tuesday 4 pm
Learn how to break into print – newspapers, magazines, and books. You'll find out how to read an editor's mind and craft pitches that will get you the assignments you want. You'll also discover what it takes to write a nonfiction book proposal that wows both agents and editors. Come with your questions about your writing and get ready to take the next step toward getting published.
The Craft of Writing: Fiction led by Sam Barry – Wednesday 4 pm
Become immersed in what it takes to create, write, and finish a novel and/or a short story. Whether you're a novice to fiction or still toiling away at your first novel, this program is for you. You'll learn how to develop your characters, how to create a real sense of place, how to mine your own life for stories. You'll also discover how to edit your own work. In addition, you'll find out what publishers are looking for and how to get your work in front of the right people.
Book Club Selection: THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS, M. L. Stedman, led by Joëlle Delbourgo – Thursday 4 pm
THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS marks the debut of a stunning new voice in fiction—a novel both heartbreaking and transcendent. After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby's cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby. Isabel, devastated by her own losses, believes the baby to be a "gift from God." The novel explores the complex moral choices Stedman's entirely fallible characters must navigate through the prism of isolation, as they grapple with grief, loss and memory.

That's why we're glad we ran up on a closeout on these Vintage Grip Company brand boot grips to fit the little Tauruses. While the reduction in butt length is only modest, the reduction in backstap and thickness is quite substantial with these over the original factory grips. Photo shows a pair on one of our Taurus 85 Ultra-Lites, before – with the original grips; and after – with these. They cut down on the grip size quite a bit, but on the downside, they increase felt recoil with +P loads.

Invoices should be processed in the same manner and in the same system. Only
then enterprises can benefit from consolidation/centralized
processes/audit/visibility into telecom spend. The opportunity to streamline
processing/management often translate to hard cash cost savings. In our
experience companies who do not manage this properly, pay approximately 10-17 percent of their
telecom expenses in error annually. Single types of invoice process have
greater control of telecom costs and have an opportunity to better enforce and
maintain governance.
For example, enterprises with a consolidated invoice
process have the ability to see that invoices on a national scale are being paid
on time, processed through the appropriate approval channels, and allocated to
the proper groups, all in adherence with corporate policies. It also gives the
ability to instantly run valuable reports that displays company's national
telecom infrastructure. For example, identify pain points and cost creep,
leverage knowledge to negotiate better contracts, compare metrics in regions,
and benchmarking to see how you stack up.

Hemisphere GPS announced the availability of long range RTK for Outback Guidance systems featuring Hemisphere GPS Eclipse GNSS receivers. Available in the new Outback A220 series receivers as well as an upgrade to existing receivers, the long range radio data link allows farmers to expand their areas of operation and complete more work in less time.
With the new long range radios, users now have the capability to complete much larger areas at one time, up to 18 miles from base station to rover. For larger farms, this results in less time spent moving equipment and subsequently less time in the field completing the same amount of work.
"We're always looking for new ways to enhance the productivity of our customers," said Jeff Farrar, Director of Marketing, Agriculture, for Hemisphere GPS. "Adding long range radio functionality to Outback A220 and A221 GNSS receivers further enhances the ability of farmers to get more done in less time, especially for large-scale farmers. When combined with our Outback S3 guidance and eDriveX autosteer products, we continually raise the bar in providing a complete farming solution."
The 400 MHz long range radios are currently available in the Outback A220 and A221 receivers, both as new units and upgrades. The long range RTK feature is also available in other Hemisphere GPS products.
Outback A220 and A221 with long range radios are available through www.outbackguidance.com or through Outback Guidance Centers and select Hemisphere GPS distributors worldwide.

According to ESPN's Jim Bowden, the Mets and slugger Yeonis Cespedes have agreed on a four-year, $110 million deal that will keep the Cuban star in Queens.
After a pair of successful stints with the Mets — the first of which may have single-handedly carried New York to a playoff berth and to the World Series — the outfielder shocks many with his return to the Mets.
It was alluded to that he would not consider resigning with the team and it appeared a semi-amicable breakup was at hand. But clearly, this offseason's biggest offensive free agent prize wanted to stay in the Big Apple.
According to reports, the Astros were the other bigtime bidder for Cespedes' services. He reportedly has a full no-trade clause in the new deal.
Cespedes hit 17 home runs in 57 games after being traded to New York in 2015. He was the centerpiece of the Mets' offense, one that led them to a World Series setback against the Royals.
Last year, Cespedes hit .280 with 31 homers and 86 RBI.

Have you ever wondered how to avoid long waits in airport security? Nobody enjoys waiting, but it seems to be a necessity that you can't skip-or can you? Yes, and one of the best way to reduce waiting time is to try and predict how long checkpoint lines will be beforehand. New online features may allow you to check historical waiting times for your airport's terminal. This will help in planning your schedule. Some airline companies may offer text messaging services so you can check your expected waiting times at any moment of the day.
You could also plan ahead by scrutinizing your destination location. Major cities not only accommodate tourists but also hundreds of thousands of business travelers. Some months are more crowded than others; summer and December are the most popular months for tourism, while January is often considered a major month for trade shows. If you expect heavy business traffic, then just consider the amount of laptop equipment that must be checked. It may help to start researching the city you are traveling to, to make sure that there are no large events taking place and that the airport is not experiencing any difficulties.
It may also help you to avoid certain traveling times, in addition to certain days and months. Monday mornings are universally known as huge business travel times, as well as Monday evenings and Friday evenings. In fact, early morning times of all weekdays tend to cause some long waiting. It may help you to travel between the hours of 12 to 2 pm; in fact, some airlines may even pay you for it, in the form of some food vouchers.
Many travelers have found that if they travel via different airports than their official recommendation, they may have a shorter wait. Choosing a different terminal located just a few short steps away may also help to reduce the waiting time. After all, some airports have three or more security check points.
Lastly, you can invest in a special "Registered Travel Card" that specifically puts travelers in shorter lines at 14 different airports worldwide. (A screening process is required to protect against traveling criminals) After receiving your card you can insert it into designated airport slots and then receive priority treatment.
You may have to wait while traveling, but with these solutions you could reduce the amount of time required.

Nurses steadily kicking smoking habit
In America's bicentennial year, 33.2% of nurses reported a tobacco habit. Twenty-seven years later, that number had dropped to 8.4%, according to an analysis by the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Nursing. Snuffing out the smoke has made a big difference in the longevity of nurses, especially those in their late 70s, report authors note. But mortality rates among nurse smokers--even ex-smokers--are still much higher than among those who never started.
Nurses who have quit smoking still experience a mortality rate 1.5 times higher than average, and those who have yet to quit are 2.3 times more likely to die by the time they reach their late 70s, the research reveals. The study was compiled using data from a decades-long survey of 237,648 female registered nurses about their health. The survey was started in the 1970s at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The full UCLA report appears in the November/December issue of Nursing Research.
