Prague; the city so beautiful that it was spared by Hitler… or so the story goes. Prague is a living and breathing enigma; old and dirty but somehow unimaginably graceful. Home to some of the best-kept architecture in all of Europe, Prague's charm has lived through aggressive wars, hence remaining to attract hoards of tourists year in and year out.
3 Days in Prague
Although this was my third visit to Prague, I was just as enticed by it as I was the first time. Having only visited the city solo on my previous two visits, I was excited to show someone else the city and see it in a new light. Here's how I spent my 3 days in Prague with my mum, whom was visiting from Australia…
Day 1: Arriving in Prague
Arriving by plane from Stockholm, as soon as we landed in Prague there was a driver waiting to take us to our Prague hotel located in the Castle District. I booked the private car service online the night before, taking advantage of the much cheaper rates available for private cars in Prague (for $30 it was a steal!) We used: Prague Airport Transfer.
In around 30 minutes we arrived at our hotel for the weekend, the subtle Aria Hotel Prague; a luxury 5 star hotel that feels much more like a home than 'just another hotel'. The hotel staff were so welcoming that before long we knew the entire team by name, having had so much interaction with them over our 3 days in Prague.
Concierge was particularly helpful in booking ballet tickets (w/ incredible box seats!), providing free movies from the extensive DVD and book library for us to enjoy during our stay, and directing us to local boutiques and chocolateries to stock up on some local treats.
After checking in we were treated to a delightful lunch in the hotel restaurant, which specialises in local Czech cuisine. Prior to my exquisite three-course meal I had never considered the local cuisine to suit my tastes, but this gastronomic take on Czech cuisine left me completely in awe of the local flavours and textures. Soup was a particular highlight that I would certainly return for!
After lunch nightfall had already settled, and we began to make our way over to the National Theatre for a night at the ballet. Concierge had arranged spectacular seats at the Romeo & Juliet show that evening, which was a delight for my mum who had never been inside a European theatre before.
Day 2: The Essential Sights
Our first full day in Prague was to be spent doing one thing and one thing only: seeing and doing as much as we possibly could. With so much to see and do in Prague, we started first thing in the morning and hit the hot spots first, including:
Charles Bridge
Prague's most iconic bridge is an essential first stop for any first timer; so I was eager to take my mum here right away! We arrived at dawn, which is of course one of the busiest times on the bridge, but it was so special to show her this as her first introduction to the city. She was in super-tourist mode.
Castle District
The Castle District is of course home to the Prague Castle (go figure!), but also home to the winding cobblestone streets Prague is famous for, and loads of cute antique stores to rummage through.
The Old Town & Prague Astronomical Clock
Over on the other side of the bridge is the Old Town and Prague's famous Astronomical Clock. Be sure to stop by for some tourist snaps, but beware of the overpriced tourist haunts located in the square that offer far from the best food in Prague. For some of my favourites restaurants, read further below.
St Vitus Cathedral
Another city icon – St Vitus Cathedral is a favourite for many visitors to Prague due to its' unique baroque architecture. The Cathedral looks particularly lust-worthy in the evenings when it lights the sky.
Day 3: Discovering More of Prague
Prague Dancing House
Another popular modern-day favourite is the Prague Dancing House, which also goes by the name "The Fred & Ginger House". Located on the Vltava, it's a short 20 minute walk out of the way but entirely worth it for a pleasant stroll out of the tourist centre.
Prague's Jewish quarter is one of the best insights into Jewish history you will find in all of Europe. There's so much to see and experience here, such as the Jewish Cemetery; Old New Synagogue; and Prague Jewish Museum.
Wenceslas Square
If you're up for a spot of shopping, head straight for Wenceslas Square. Here you will find loads of international brands, ranging from Zara; H&M; Mango; Nike; Adidas; and many more.
I'm wearing: Steve Madden boots (similar here); Witchery leather leggings; Black parka (similar here); Chloe Marcie Handbag; Asos floppy Hat.
Day 4 & 5 (if time allows): Day Trips
If you find yourself with time to spare in Prague, there are some great Czech towns nearby that certainly deserve a visit!
Cesky Krumlov
Just a short 2.5 hour bus ride south of Prague is the incredibly quaint Cesky Krumlov. It is by far the most popular day trip from Prague even though it is furthest away, as it manages to entice travellers from around the globe. In summer the streets are filled with visitors, but in winter it resembles somewhat of an (eery) ghost town. Regardless, it's always magical!
Kutna Hora
Kutna Hora is just a one hour train ride from Prague and known to travellers as the more 'spooky' insight to Czech history. It's a great look at a different side of Czech Republic and pleasant year-round.
Karlovy Vary
The infamous spa town has become known as a little too touristy for comfort nowadays, but if you're interested in checking out a spa town in Czech, this is also a great day-trip from Prague. The drive is 2 hours and many companies offer day trips in the warmer months.
Prague Favourites:
Lehka Hlava (vegetarian)
My all-time favourite restaurant in Prague and indeed most loved vegetarian restaurant in the world, Lehka Hlava is my typical go-to whenever I'm in town. In fact, I've never been to Prague without eating here at least twice each visit. Location: Borsov St. (not far from the Charles Bridge)
Maitrea (vegetarian)
Sister restaurant to Lehka Hlava and with an even more extensive menu, Maitrea is a great lunch option for vegetarians who find themselves peckish whilst wandering around the Old Town. Location: Týnská ulička (near the Old Town Square)
Steiner & Kovarik
If you want to take some flavours of Prague away with you, Steiner & Kovarik have the most delightful cinnamon covered almond chocolates I have ever tasted in my life. You won't regret it. Find them at the base of the castle stairs.
Cafe Slavia
Located on the Vltava River halfway between the Charles Bridge and the Prague Dancing House, Cafe Slavia (or Kavarna Slavia) is a great pitstop to make if you want to try something distinctly Czech. It is renowned for being 'touristy', but I still love popping in for a hot chocolate and people watching from the smoky windows.
A gracious thanks to Prague Aria Hotel for welcoming World of Wanderlust to Prague. My opinion is as always my own!

Archimedes the Wizard is an Owl in Presto's Edge that comes down from the sky into the Wizard Summoning Circle, when you type in certain words. He has a rabbit friend named Timothy Hay.
He used to be friends with Professor Nebulo Nocturne, but they broke up because Nocturne believed in math and he believed in Magic.
The words to summon the mighty wizard can be found on wooden signs in Presto's Edge, but the words are scrambled up, you have to unscramble them to find out what the words are.
Riddle Edit
View riddles for the answers to the riddles.
When you say Riddle he will give you a riddle. If you say the answer to the riddle before anyone else does, he will give you 5 coins or more or an emote.
Backwards Edit
If say Backwards he'll give you a word that you have to spell backwards. If you spell the word he gives you backwards before anyone else does, he will give you 5 coins or more or an emote.
Guess Edit
Say Guess and he'll let you guess a thing from a list he gives you. If you guess the word he was thinking about, he will give you 5 coins or more or an emote.
NOTE: Surely can only have one guess each time.
NOTE: Archimedes will only come down if you say "Riddle" "Backwards" or "Guess" in Presto's Edge. Say the words in any other room won't do anything even if there is a wizard there.

Dear Sherri,Is my Camper covered while being towed by my vehicle to our vacation destination? - Having fun in the sun
Dear Having Fun,
Ahhh camping; driving on the open road, having the whole family together, cooking, cleaning up… Good God why would you do this? Anyway, in response to your question, while being towed, coverage is extended from your personal auto policy to your camper for liability coverage ONLY. The camper must have its own comprehensive and collision coverage that you can purchase on a separate camper or RV (Recreational Vehicle) policy. It is always best to purchase an RV policy as these types of policies can include basic liability, medical payments, physical damage, replacement cost, contents, personal effects coverage, trip interruption and towing. However, remember to never allow passengers in the RV/Camper while it is being towed or when it is parked and you are taking a nap.
As always, check with your Insurance agent or carrier to be sure your camper has adequate coverage.
- Sherri

Today is the official first day of summer. But where I live it seems like summer started at least two months ago. It is hot, to say the least. However, this summer I do plan to get out of my normal routine. I actually am planning to do stuff besides just going to work and attempting to sleep in on the weekends. My list as you can see below is short. It is SMART goal compliant and I really hope I get to everything on the list.
- Find a new and really good smoothie recipe.
- Clean out the garage – working on my minimalism here.
- Take up yoga.
- Start writing my cookbook.
- Practice my photography.
These five things seem simple enough – at least typing them was easy… I will be sure to post and share pics as I cross off my accomplishments so stay tuned!

Let me begin this by saying; Wal Mart has exceptional pricing on its products. Now that I have got that out of the way; Wal Mart and other low cost photo labs are the bane of professional, semi professional and advanced amateur photographers everywhere. As someone who wants to offer the best product for their customer and spends numerous hours editing photographs to come up with what we consider a product that represents our hard work, I hate to know that my photographs can be printed at those inferior printers. Now, do not get me wrong, for the occasional snap shot, family outings, or recent birthday party, I think they are by far the best way to save money and get your photos quickly. I understand the reason for their existence and I accept that they are available.
Your photo session is an investment. So the photographs that you get from that session should be an extension of that investment. I feel a good analogy would be buying a sports car and putting on inferior tires. Sure they look okay and they do the job, but why? You paid for a professional photographer to come up with the best possible photos during a small amount of time. Why not make sure that those photos represent that small amount of time is the best possible way?
The entire reason for this blog rant: my wife and I had a couple of parties scheduled at our house this past weekend. She said that we should replace the photos in our frames with new photos that I had taken. Of course, I was excited about it, but knew it was too late to order them from my usual lab in time for the parties. So, after loading my photos on a flash drive, we head to Wal Mart to get them printed. We get to the photo area and pull the photos from my flash drive onto the photo kiosk. I select the ones that I want to print, the sizes that I need and say, "no" to all of the extras and get my receipt. Five minutes later I scan my receipt and out comes my photos and my disappointment. The colors are dull and drab and even the black and white photos are only black and white. There seems to be no gradient or smooth transitions. On some of the photos, the picture is not even printed on the entire sheet and there is a white bar where the rest of the photo should be. To sum it up, I am deeply upset. Now, I should have complained and asked for my money back and made a scene, etc. etc., but I knew what I was getting into when I decided to try and get them printed. Please learn from my mistake and do not, under any circumstances, get your professional photos printed at an inferior lab....
I also have found other blogs of other photographers having similar experiences:

ANAHEIM, Calif. --Opponents of a $158 million tax break to hotel developers in Anaheim are expected to announce a lawsuit against the city.
Demonstrators and community activists turned out in force at City Hall Tuesday, demanding the city rescind incentives given to GardenWalk hotels to build new luxury facilities.
They're asking city leaders to put the issue before voters first. Some are gathering signatures to try and force a ballot referendum.
One councilwoman said a public vote will be discussed at next week's meeting, but it would likely only affect future tax incentives.

At Christmas time its really nice to know that strangers care especially when you are struggling. All of our hampers are delivered anonymously and the receiving family gets a hamper of food and toys at Christmas with a note saying they are loved and cared about which is all everyone wants to know at Christmas.

How It Works
This program is built on the simple notion

part of one caring person can transform
the lives of hundreds.

Throughout the year volunteers actively
promote the program and find out who in
our community is in most need of support.
The Call
Save the Dates are sent out to
notify volunteers a month before
packing day.
Packing Day
Hundreds of volunteers gather in church,
school and community halls to fill baskets
with teachers and teens.
Gifting Day
The baskets are delivered to the
families to bring joy and happiness
to their lives at Christmas.
Your Participation
Help us keep the circle of giving intact by volunteering for Packing Day or
donating food or goods. Sign up to receive more information, or you may

How can I change the default font for the text in appointments?
Appointments, contacts, tasks, and journal items all use the default font set for messages. To change this font, choose Tools, Options and switch to the Mail Format tab. Under Stationery and Fonts, click Fonts. When the Fonts dialog box pops up, click Choose Font next to the box labeled When composing a new message.
Because I wanted to know when an email message I receive also has Bcc recipients, I added the Bcc column to a view in my Inbox. Why is the column always blank?
Bcc stands for blind carbon copy (dating back to the days before photocopiers). An incoming item never shows whether the message has blind recipients.
The only views in which the Bcc field is relevant are views of items that you sent. If you add the Bcc field to your Sent Items folder, for example, you'll see names in the Bcc field on those items on which you included Bcc recipients.
I made the mistake of importing some data into Outlook twice. How can I delete the duplicates?
Although Outlook doesn't provide an automatic method for removing duplicate items, a view can help you identify the items for deletion. Try creating a new table view for the folder that includes the Created date and time field, or add the Created field to an existing table view. Click the Created column to sort by creation date. Items that you import as a group display a Created time within a few minutes of one another, making it easy to select them and either delete them or move them to another folder until you're sure you don't need them.
How can I send a Web page as an email message in HTML format?
The File, Send menu in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) offers two email choices: Page by E-mail and Link by E-mail. To make Page by E-mail work, you must first set your default Outlook message format to HTML. Choose Tools, Options, then switch to the Mail Format tab; select HTML from the Send in this message format list.
Why can't I edit the email address for a contact directly in the Contacts folder view, in the same way I can edit an address?
Each email address field that you see in a view represents three separate properties that hold the display name, address, and address type (e.g., SMTP). Outlook doesn't let you display only the address portion in a view. This complexity means that you can't just edit it in-cell, as you can with addresses and phone numbers.
How can I change the default color scheme of a saved calendar when I use Outlook's File, Save as Web Page command?
Most of the color and font settings are controlled by a file named cal.css. When you first publish a calendar to a Web folder, Outlook copies this cascading style sheet file to the folder. You can then edit the style sheet in Microsoft FrontPage or even a text editor to change the styles. Outlook usually doesn't try to copy over the new style when you save subsequent calendars, but just in case it might, you can set the file to read-only.
Can I use command-line switches to send a message with an attachment to a particular recipient?
Yes, Outlook includes several useful command-line switches, documented in Help and in the Microsoft article "OL2000: Additional Command-Line Switches" (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q197/1/80.asp). You can even combine some of them, as in the command
"C:\ program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /c ipm.note /m [email protected] /a "C:\my documents\my file.doc"
which sends an attachment to a specific recipient. You must enter the command on one line in a DOS prompt or command window, taking care to use quotation marks around any filenames that include spaces.
In the Exchange client, a user could right-click a message, choose Properties, and change the subject line under the General tab. Can I make the same change in Outlook 2000?
Outlook 2000 doesn't work the same way as the Exchange client that shipped with Exchange Server 5.0 and Exchange Server 4.0, but you can adjust the Outlook view settings so that users can change the values of editable fields right in the view. To turn on this in-cell editing feature in the Inbox folder, follow these steps:
- Right-click the column headings in the appropriate view, and choose Customize Current View.
- Click Other Settings.
- Under Rows in the Other Settings dialog box, select the Allow in-cell editing check box.
- Click OK twice to return to the view.
Now, you can click in the Subject field for any message in the view and edit the subject. You can't edit the From or Received fields, however.
Can I add a counter to an Outlook 2000 distribution list (DL) to show the number of entries in the list?
Outlook 2000 has a limit of 165 entries in each DL that you create in a contacts folder on Exchange Server. The Microsoft article "OL2000: (CW) Problem Adding a Large Number of Items to a Distribution List" (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q238/5/69.asp) explains this limit. Many users might find it useful to see at a glance how many members each list contains. The ideal way to make this information visible is to keep the membership count in a property in the item so that you can include it in a view.
Any time you want to display a property in a view, the first place to look for an appropriate property is in the Field Chooser. Switch to the Contacts folder, display the Phone List or any other table view, right-click the column headings, then choose Field Chooser. In the Field Chooser, you can display the All Distribution List fields list of properties.
Unfortunately, the Field Chooser shows no DL property for the member count. This omission doesn't mean that such a property doesn't exist—only that the Field Chooser doesn't include it and, therefore, you can't easily display it in a view. Outlook items have many properties that the Field Chooser doesn't show. To see these other properties in a view, you generally need to use a custom form and write code for the form that puts the property value into a field that does appear in the Field Chooser.
To see all the properties, press Alt+F11 to open the Outlook 2000 Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) development environment, then press F2 to display the Object Browser. Outlook DLs use the DistListItem object. The MemberCount property is under the properties for DistListItem, which Figure 1 shows. I found it easily by selecting the Outlook library from the top drop-down list, then typing count in the search box below the drop-down list.
The MemberCount property doesn't work quite the way you might expect. Specifically, if you add a new entry to a DL, Outlook doesn't immediately update the MemberCount property. The MemberCount is accurate, though, when you open an existing DL.
One workaround, therefore, is to save the MemberCount information to another property—a property that is visible in the Field Chooser—when an item opens. To create a custom DL form that displays its MemberCount, follow these steps:
- Choose File, New, Distribution List to open a new blank DL item.
- Choose Tools, Forms, Design This Form to put the DL into design view.
- Choose Form, View Code to open the form's code window.
- In the code window, type in the procedure in Listing 1.
- On the form, choose Tools, Forms, Publish Form to publish the form to the forms library for your Contacts folder.
The code in Listing 1 uses the built-in Mileage property to store the information about the number of members. (Using the built-in property, which you can use for any purpose, will make it easier to use this form in many different Contacts folders.) When the item opens, the code compares the data in Mileage with the current MemberCount and updates the item as needed.
How do I use the custom DL form you described in the previous question? Can I make it my default DL form?
To use the form, go to your Contacts folder, click Actions, then choose the name of your custom DL form from the bottom of the Actions menu. Add some members to the DL, save and close it, then open the DL again. Opening the item the second time triggers the code in Listing 1.
To make Outlook use this custom form for all your DLs, you can download and run the Outlook 2000 Forms Administrator tool from the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit. See http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/journ/outtoolsintro.htm for more information about the tool.
I've created the custom DL form you described. How do I make Outlook show the member count in a view?
A Contacts folder view usually doesn't display the Mileage property. In fact, if you look at the Field Chooser again, you'll see that Mileage isn't listed as a DL field. However, the Object Browser shows that Mileage is indeed a DL property. To add the Mileage property to a Contacts folder's table view, you need to display the All Contacts Fields list. Mileage will be on the list, and you can simply drag it to the column headings to add it to the view.
Can I create a view that shows only DLs?
You can easily filter a Contacts folder view to show only DLs. The trick is knowing which field to use for the filter and what value to specify. Try this approach:
- While viewing your Contacts folder, choose View, Current View, Define Views.
- Click New to display the Create a New View dialog box.
- In the dialog box that Figure 2 shows, for Name of new view, enter Distribution Lists; for Type of view, choose Table; and for Can be used on, select All Contact folders.
- Click OK to save the new view. When the View Summary dialog box appears, click Filter to display the Filter dialog box.
- On the Filter dialog box, go to the Advanced tab, which Figure 3 shows.
- Under Fields, choose All Contact fields, and select Message Class. Under Condition, choose contains. Under Value, enter IPM.DistList— the name of the base message class for all DLs. Click Add to List.
- Click OK to return to the View Summary dialog box.
- Click Fields, and make sure the fields for your view include the Mileage field. As I mentioned in the previous question, the Mileage field is on the All Contacts Fields list.
- When you've finished customizing the view, click OK to save the view settings and apply the new view to the current folder.

Have you ever wondered how bitcoin was invented or what concept it works on? If you are a market stalker then you might have observed that recently there was a sudden rise in the demand for bitcoins but do you actually know the main reason behind it, No? Then you have come to the right place; this website will tell you each and every aspect of bitcoins and how you can earn it.
Bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency that works on the concept of Blockchain. The blockchain is secured network used for money transaction. It was invented by an unknown person or a group of people in the year 2008 under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. It is an opensource project that has brought revolution in the money transaction system. In Blockchain, there is no master node or Leader. All users are independent and can keep track of any transaction occurred in the system. So, if one person wants to send money to other in a blockchain then he will initiate a vote. If the majority of people in the network accepted the vote then the transaction is initiated.
The reason why it is safe is, if an attacker wants to change the log files or add a fake transaction in the system then he has to change and hack files for each and every person present in the system. This makes it tedious job and backtracking are easy when we have multiple victims. Also, each user has his own level of security so if attacker can't penetrate it then it will disrupt the integrity of the system thus it becomes easy to spot that an attack has occurred. If you want more information about ICO or Ethereum then come to our website. We daily update our site with the latest information so that our clients remain top in their field.

Monday, 6 am. I just bought my usual cup of coffee from Dunkin Donuts while running to the train station. The Metro Card pretends like it's not working again. Spilling hot coffee all over myself and holding a jelly donut in my mouth, I am looking for a wallet in the enormous huge backpack I carry.
Yes, I am a commuter on the MTA. Every day I travel on the MTA's Q train between Queens and Brooklyn, which takes about 3.5 hours of my life each day. After purchasing an entirely new MetroCard, I was about to swipe it as I see a W train sign.
[embedit snippet="1″]
Wait a second. Did I miss anything? Where did the Q train go?
On November 7, 2016, the W train is coming back to Queens after almost six years due to the Second Avenue subway project. MTA's W train will run from Astoria, making all local stops in Queens and replacing Q train. The W Train in Manhattan will be similar to R train with the last stop in Whitehall Street. MTA's W train won't run on weekends or late nights.
Q train will be redirected along Second Avenue with its starting point at 96th Street, making stops at 86th street, 72nd street and then Lexington Ave – 63rd Street and turns southwest to 57th street, continuing on the Q line.
[embedit snippet="olya-ads"]
For people like me who commute daily and got used to sitting on the Q train from the starting point somewhere in Queens until the end in Brooklyn or backward, it will be a small disappointment. Now you have to switch the trains to connect with Q line. If before some of you enjoyed a nice hour of sleep or even more, it will be hard to get used to a new habit of switching between MTA trains and giving away your nicely warmed up seat to a stranger.
Stay strong Queens and Brooklyn commuters. Changes are always for the best even on the MTA's varied system of transit options.

Students arriving back to Grover Beach Elementary School in August were met with a surprise: brightly painted murals and surfboards adorning several exterior classroom walls. More are to be added before the end of the year.
"It's something that makes this school more recognizable, different," said 12-year-old Montana Dobbs, who helped her mother, TJ, and parent Jen Matsuura, paint throughout the summer months.
In all, TJ Dobbs completed six murals, which feature windsurfers, sharks and a patchwork design of a lighthouse and sailboats. There's also a large mural of the school's mascot, the golden gopher, that recently received an updated look.
Students last year participated in a contest to design surfboards. The student council voted on the designs, and then TJ and Montana Dobbs painted them onto the boards, which will hang in various areas of the campus.
"It gives us our own identity," Grover Beach Elementary Principal Juan Olivarria said. "The appearance of the campus has improved so much."

Salmon Fishing in Yemen Trailer: Romance and Nonnative Species, Together at Last
Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, political satire, and salmon!
Salmon Fishing in Yemen, starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt, actually looks cuter than the title suggests: It's a whimsical (cringe) story about a fisheries expert who's brought to Yemen to, yes, bring salmon fishing to the country, but there's also a political satire at play (he's there as part of a feel-good wag-the-dog program). Plus romance! The movie's based on Paul Torday's 2007 novel and got pretty decent buzz out of Toronto earlier this year.
The possible merits of the film aside, this trailer seems to have distilled the soundtracks from every movie trailer into one perfected template of teaser music. We start plucky and bouncy — how fun and bright — and then we introduce the B-movement as things pick up slightly. Here's the story! that part says. And then, gung, crash, change of tune: Here's the heart, set against a driving pop riff, with stronger percussion, and now it's time for the soaring anthem part, which tells us that this is the core emotional arc of the film. Ta-da! Now you too can use this template. (For comparison's sake, here's the Moneyball trailer, which follows an identical formula.)

NEIGHBORHOOD: Five Points
ADDRESS: 2085 South Milledge Ave.
ADDRESS: 2085 South Milledge Ave.
Last night, Latticeworks, an independent group of graduate students at UGA's Lamar Dodd School of Art, put on its first in a series of fundraisers. Crossfire was a pop-up event that combined visual art, music, alcohol, and a community of graduate students.
The event was held at the Raintree Fairfax apartments on Milledge, but had the feeling of a warehouse show. As someone who only found out about this 45 minutes in advance, I'd like to say that Crossfire was organized and developed very well. I'm also amazed at how many sponsors Latticeworks had. Donderos' Kitchen, 1000 Faces Coffee, The Loft, and Pageboy Salon are only a handful of businesses that supported this group.
One of the best things about art shows is the opportunity to get some free food, and Crossfire did not disappoint. Attendees were greeted with hundreds of bottles of Terrapin Hopsecutioner and sliders from The World Famous (and they were awesome, so World Famous, you should add them to your menu).
The back of the venue housed a gallery featuring works from members of Latticeworks. The gallery featured a variety of mediums, including sculpture, collage, charcoal drawings, and even performance art.
Crossfire also featured several fundraising outlets, including a raffle, a small thrift(y) store, and many opportunities for donation. The raffle had the greatest reception and offered prizes that ranged from gift certificates to sponsors like Cinco y Diez and White Tiger Gourmet to studio time with art professors to a glamour shot and even a lap dance.
Overall, I'd say Crossfire was a great success and had a warm, buzzy atmosphere. I thought it was fantastic to see such initiative and dedication from a group of people who aren't that much older than I am. It was also great to see so much local support. Latticeworks, I can't wait to see what you do next.

I made a quick decor change to our living room and wanted to share it with you today.
I have been wanting to add more family pictures to our home decor since we have started having professional pictures taken every November.
I thought I would add a family picture to our mantel. However, I discovered that I can't get a picture frame to sit on the mantel because it is not deep enough. I can only fit a 5x7 frame on the mantel and that just wasn't big enough to have an impact to our space.
So the idea popped into my head to buy some new frames and hang a couple of family pictures by the mantel that I could change out each year. Hence the cross picture frames had to go.
I found two beautiful bronze 11x14 frames with mats at Homegoods for $12.99 each. Since they were matted, they hold an 8x10 size picture.
I printed out two family photos from Mpix and here is the result.
(Mpix is an online photo processing store that our photographer highly recommended. They are great!)
I love it!!
If you are feeling like you need a change to your space, maybe consider this idea.
It was a quick, easy, and an inexpensive home decor change.
I love how our pictures personalize our space.
Thank you for looking!
See you on the next post.

One of the challenges of social media is getting people who aren't social with you to be social. Sounds like a simple enough problem, right? But how often do you click on things you're unfamialr with? Not too often likely. Even if you are a social butterfly who's on the cutting edge of all things online, you are in a stark minority. Actually one of the biggest drawbacks to your social media enterprise can begin with what you title your blog. The simple words you use carry such an impact. What's in a title? A lot actually. Here are key things to be aware of when creating a title for your blog.
Your blog title needs to reach out for the audience it's looking for. What does that mean? Well if you are trying to reach a broad audience and as many people as possible then the title needs to speak to as many of your broad, middle-of-the-road audience as possible. At the same time if your blog post is meant as a niche piece for a niche audience it needs to speak to the people you are reaching towards.
If you're speaking to a Harry Potter audience you might use terms like "muggles" or "9 3/4." To most who don't know the book or film series these things will seem meaningless. But to true fans these terms mean something.
At the other end of the spectrum if you are writing a piece about something general you need to discover what the best keywords are to put into your title. For fitness you might use terms that are broad and far-reaching like "weight loss," "physical training," or "muscle" to find the broadest audience you can. The same is true of a subject like "parenting;" you might try terms like "child care," "infants," and "adolescence" depending on where your post specifically goes.
Your title needs to be witty and engaging without seeming threatening. You need to make sure that your blog title has got keywords which mean something to the desired audience. You also should be sure that your blog title conveys the content of your blog well. All of these seemingly obvious things may appear to be common sense. But if you are having a hard time generating audience in the world of blogging you should bear these things in mind before you make your next post!

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.
Good Morning Friends,
Today was the first morning in many months that the Lord stirred me from slumber so that I would recognize that He had put a scripture upon my heart. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." Repeating over and over again in my head until I knew I had to get up and listen for what the Lord was sharing with me.
I had an amazing childhood. Grew up in a small midwest town, in a stable home where dad worked outside the home and mom stayed home with us kids. We were not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination but I always felt secure. I grew up in a little bit of "Leave It to Beaver" heaven, for those of us who are old enough to remember that TV show.
Life was good. I walked to elementary school. Played outside in the summer until I either had to go home to eat or good to bed. Knew I had to behave no matter where I was because all of the neighborhood parents had authority over us kids. Rode bikes, played hide and seek, used our imaginations constantly, and lived really not fearing anything.
And then I grew up………heavy sigh. Responsibilities, bills, children, laundry, pets, house, and on and on the list goes.
If you will notice in the picture above, all of the adults are looking at the camera like we are suppose to do when we are getting our picture taken. I am the only one looking away from the camera and looking at my parents. The awful thing about being an adult is that we have to be a grown up! A child, one in a stable life, can be just that….a child. As a child my source of security, comfort, support, provision was my parents and I looked to them when I needed anything and the world had no issue with my dependency because I was a child. As an adult the messages from the world are: be independent, stand on your own two feet, look to no one for anything, be strong and those messages can create a very lonely and cold place to exist.
Jesus reaches out His hand to us and calls us from the demands of an adult world to the security of a stable family. I like that. I like that I can stop being the "strong one" and fall apart in His arms. I like that I can tell our Lord that, "the kids are being mean to me" and His eyes of love shine bright as He looks into my face and loves me beyond measure. I like that with Jesus I can stop looking at the camera and I can look at Him.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest."

Lenny Breau was one of the all-time great jazz guitarists. His ability to solo with single-notes and chords, play high-level chord melodies as well as adapt his playing to solo, duo, trio and larger group playing made Lenny a legend in the industry. While there are many aspects of Lenny's playing that you can break down and work on in the practice room, one of the most important is Lenny's two-note comping technique.
Though it may seem obvious in hindsight, by breaking down any chord to the 3rd and 7th, and then adding color tones on top of those two notes, Lenny created a unique comping voice that is as easily recognizable today as it was back in the '60s when he first hit the scene and began turning heads in the jazz guitar world.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to play 3rd and 7th chords over an F blues on the guitar, as well as learn a full chorus of F blues that mixes these two-note chords with melody notes to bring a cool-sounding jazz blues into your vocabulary.
Once you have explored the 3rds and 7ths on the 3rd and 4th strings, as in the examples below, you can expand on this concept by taking these notes to the 4th and 5th strings as well, and then mixing these two string sets together as you move forward with this chordal approach in the practice room.
Lenny Breau Two Note Chords
Before we dive into the blues in F chord study, let's take a look at the two-note 3rd and 7th chords, how they're built and how they look on the fretboard, so that you can have an understanding of the building blocks of this lesson, which focusses on the 3rd and 4th string set.
The 3rd and 7th are the two most important notes of any chord you are playing in a jazz context. The 3rd tells you if the chord is major or minor, and from there the 7th tells you if the chord is a major 7th, 7th, m7th etc. when applied to a chord progression.
As well, these two notes are enough to outline the chord changes to any jazz tune, which leaves two to three fretting-hand fingers open to add other chord tones on top of those notes, or full melody lines as in the chord study in the example below.
When playing these two notes on the fretboard, you can use your fingers, or a pick and fingers for each two-note shape. If you use your fingers, play the lowest note with your thumb and highest note with your index finger. As well, if you use a pick, play the lowest note with your pick and the highest note with your middle finger.
To help you get the lower two notes, the 3rd and 7th of each change, under your fingers before you attempt the full chord study, here are those notes over an F blues without the melody line on top.
Work on these shapes until you can play them from memory with the audio track, then move on to the full blues in F chord study in the next section of this lesson.
Blues in F Chord Study
Now that you have explored the background behind two-note chord voicings, and practiced a few of them on their own, you are now ready to work on the full Blues in F study in your woodshedding.
Keep the same picking technique that you used in the first example from this lesson. So, if you use your fingers, play the 3rd and 7th with your thumb and index finger and the upper notes with the other fingers in your picking hand.
If you use a pick, play the lowest two notes with your pick and middle finger, and then play the upper melody line with the other fingers in your picking hand.
Start by working one bar at a time, especially if you are new to this technique, and piece things together from there as you master each bar in the tune.
Once you have worked things one bar at a time and glued them all together, then you are ready to play the whole study from start to finish.
Even when you have the whole study under your fingers, keep things slow with a metronome and work up the tempo from there until you reach the tempo in the audio example in your practice routine.
Blues in F Backing Track
To help you practice this chord study, as well as come up with chord studies of your own, here is a Blues in F backing track with only bass and drums that you can use in your jazz guitar practice routine.

Red Folder Day
Today is my Red Folder Day. A new step into the future. What it holds for me, I do not know. But I embrace the opportunity, I embrace the adulation, I embrace the challenge, I embrace the respect.
This may create friction. It is undeniable. It is also a known open secret. It was bound to happen.
For now, let us delve into reality. Take one step at a time and not leap into the future.

Newton's Apple
Where would our society be if it weren't for the discoveries and theories of Sir Isaac Newton? From mathematics to gravitation, he single-handedly elucidated the enigma of the universe. Influenced numerous intellectuals for the next hundreds of years and even inspired Jobs and Wozniak to name their little company in his honor.
Here is Google's tribute for his 367th birthday:
"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." – Sir Isaac Newton

Two-Day Break
Last weekend, the 7th and the 8th, I was working. Doing stat work for the second phase, Validation Interview Phase of the Police Executive Service Eligibility (PESE) Examinations. Third level eligibility for Superintendents and Senior Superintendents of the Philippine National Police to qualify for the next higher rank. (Results to be posted at http://www.napolcom.gov.ph) Excuse our website, lacking web savvy.
After a seven-day straight work week, I badly need some time off. Now, I'm on my second compensatory day-off. The first day-off was nice. Started with a morning wake up call to Abbie, always the best part of my morning. Heavy breakfast: fried rice drenched with Milo mix, hotdogs and sliced 'footlong' from Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. A longganisa-type sausage. Excellent, in my opinion. Then I cleaned up after me.
An old friend was getting married in Tagaytay City that day. My brother is one of the groomsmen. Was invited too but my mind and body demands a quality rest. Pass.
After every chore was settled, I logged on. I was terribly anxious on updating my Twitter Lists. Been thinking about classifying everything, even in my sleep! One thing I like about Twitter Lists is that you don't have to follow everybody, you just follow the list! Sometimes I hate it when some Twitterers flood the live feed, can't keep up with it. So my aim was to unfollow some users and just place them on a list. I still love them though, but I think it's more efficient that way.
Afternoon was easy. I slept. Got up around 5pm then showered. Drove thru at Jollibee for dinner: spaghetti and Chicken Joy meal plus extra rice. TV after dinner. I've been following DMII. I admit it, I've been sort of 'domesticated'. But it's nice. True to myself. Haven't been for awhile. Goodnight call to my fave girl, Abbie. Lights out at 11pm.
Day two, morning wake up call to Abbie. She's leaving for Cebu City, work stuff, later in the afternoon. Had Tinay and Abbie's leftovers for breakfast: grilled tuna from Jaemark's Tuna Grille, luncheon meat and steamed rice drenched with Milo mix. Yummy! Finishing up this blog. Probably, NO, definitely sleep some more in the afternoon.
11:50am, 11 November 2009.
My first venture into blogging. Be gentle.

Kanye West Cancels On Jimmy Kimmel Over 'Mean Tweets' Segment?
Kanye was supposed to appear on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' March 20 but he reportedly backed out because he didn't want to make fun of himself.
For someone that is set to appear in the comedy Zoolander 2, it sounds like Kanye West needs to get a sense of humor! The rapper was supposed to appear on Jimmy Kimmel's hit late-night talk show from SXSW, March 20 but at the last minute he backed out.
Kanye West Cancels On Jimmy Kimmel — Refuses To Read Mean Tweets?
A set was built in Austin, TX., specially for the rapper to appear on Jimmy's show but that didn't stop him from cancelling, according to Page Six.
Kanye's segment completely fell apart when the rapper refused to be part of Jimmy's highly popular "mean tweets" segment where Kanye would read mean things people have tweeted about him. Some of the most famous celebs have participated like: Drake, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Dunhan, Gerard Butler, Britney Spears, Chris Pratt, John Stamos, Adam Sandler and more!
Jimmy also tried to make light of the situation by saying: "If you do not like Kanye West, make sure to tune in Friday night to not see him."
Meanwhile, Kanye's camp claims that the show was never a done deal: "We were never confirmed . . . We took extraordinary steps and worked directly with the show to make it happen. Logistics were insurmountable."
Kanye Shares Kim Kardashian's Nude Photos
But for someone who all of a sudden wants to be private, he just recently posted naked pics of Kim on his Twitter.
"I'M SO LUCKY," Kanye captioned.
The steamy photo shoot were showcased during the season 10 premiere of KUWTK. Kim had even revealed that she and Kanye had just had sex in the bathroom because they are desperate to have a baby!
We just wish that Kanye would have gone on Kimmel because it would have been so funny!
HollywoodLifers, are you surprised he cancelled?

Yellowhammer state, heart of dixie, cotton state are nick names and audemus jura nostra defendere is motto of the Alabama state. English is official language and 2.12% of people speak Spanish in the state. Montgomery is capital of the state, Birmingham is largest city and Greater Birmingham Area largest metro area.
Alabama total area is 52,419 sq mi, width is 190 miles and length is 330 miles. It is located between 30°11′ N to 35° N latitude and 84°53′ W to 88°28′ W longitude. Total population of the state is 4,833,722 (2013 est.). Alabama state abbreviations are AL, Ala. US-AL.
The ancestors of Alabama (Alibamu), Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Koasati, and Mobile people lived within the boundaries of what is now known as Alabama. Amongst the foreigners, Spanish immigrants were the first settlers of this state. After them, the English claimed the regions that were situated to the north of the Gulf of Mexico. The province of Carolina included the state of Alabama and Charles II of England granted pieces of land to his fellow men by the charters of 1663 and 1665. With the Spanish and English colonization, the French followed suit and in 1702, they established a settlement on the Mobile River by erecting Fort Louis. However, in 1711, floods washed the fort away. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ended the French settlement in Alabama bringing Great Britain to control the lands between Chattahoochee and the Mississippi Rivers.
The treaty of Madrid in 1795 ensured that Spain ceded lands in the east of Mississippi to the United States. Other such treaties and deals ensured that the present day Alabama was then under the control of the United States Government.
1817 saw the division of Mississippi and the eastern portion of the same came to be known as the Alabama territory. Here, St. Stephens on the Tombigbee River became the headquarters and seat of control.
In 1819, Alabama became a part of the Union and was the 22nd state to be inducted so. A system of state banks was put in place to deal with the slow input of finances and state bonds were sold to the public as well. To raise finances, public lands were sold and notes from the bank were loaned against security. All taxation for state purposes was abolished in 1836. After the panic of 1837, the banks were liquidated due to corrupt and mal practices.
The Democrats ruled Alabama during and before 1832 because there was no other player on the political scene then. However, there was a change in that same year where the party was divided between the Democratic Party and the State's Rights Party. Whig party also emerged as one of the likely opponents at that time. However, in 1850 during the Compromise, many democrats joined the Whig Party and came together under the banner of the Southern Rights Party.
Alabama came to be known as a segregated state and over 30% of the population was African American in the 1960's. Civil rights leaders chose Birmingham to launch a campaign for desegregation. Injustice was served to the African Americans and 980,000 citizens lived in an unjust environment.
Despite the segregation, the African American population in Alabama was living and growing economically. This did not settle well with the other minorities in the area. To discourage this and the transition that was taking place in the state with the African Americans, independent groups took to violence to halt the proceedings. This continued for long before some action was taken against them.
Many people including Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr came together to draw national attention to the proceedings taking place in Alabama. When Birmingham did get the attention they desired, people were shown sorry images and videos of non violent protestors being assaulted by the police. Dog squads and high power water hoses were used to keep them at bay. This media frenzy was heightened by the peaceful marches that were led by the reverends. Eventually, leaders of Birmingham and Shuttlesworth came to an agreement to stop the non violent marches and end the segregation.
This entire episode facilitated the signing of the Civil Rights Act which was presided over by President Lyndon Johnson. However, it was the Kennedy Administration that helped put the bill together initially. Thereafter, the Voting Rights Act helped secure suffrage for citizens. All the events above, made way for redistricting which gave scores of Alabama citizens the right to vote.

There are varying degrees of luxury in this world. On one side of the spectrum, you have the garish gilded palaces of the well-funded like, say, Donald Trump. On the other side, there is tasteful luxury, the kind that whispers rather than screams, "I am special." The 2013 Audi A8 L is clearly aimed at those who appreciate the latter.
Even with its new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, there's a notable level of restraint to the latest Audi A8. Sure, it costs $115 grand and has 420 horsepower, but none of that comes through until you get in and take a drive.
It's blazing fast in a straight line and extremely capable on a twisty road. And yet it does it all with an ease and subtlety that makes it feel as if it's not even trying that hard. That's our kind of luxury.
More Power Than You Think
The big story for the 2013 Audi A8 is the new V8 engine. It replaces the previous 4.2-liter V8 and slots in between the recently introduced 3.0-liter 333-hp V6 and the range-topping 500-hp 6.3-liter W12.
For the "midrange" engine it's deceivingly capable. A 0-60-mph sprint takes a scant 4.2 seconds (4.0 seconds with 1 foot of rollout as on a drag strip) — a significant leap from the old 4.2-liter's 5.5 seconds. Given that the base V6 was capable of besting the speed of the previous V8, Audi made sure the new engine was considerably more capable. Clearly it is, but it does make you wonder if the $8,700 premium (from base V8 and V6 models) to make that two-cylinder jump is worth it.
Acceleration from the 4.0-liter V8 is smooth and deliberate. There's a hint of hesitation and turbo lag in the bottom range of the tach, but only if your foot is pressing firmly on the pedal. There's little fanfare to accompany the rush of power, though, as the cabin remains calm and mostly quiet. By contrast, you can feel the V6 working behind the scenes to get the big A8 moving along even if it's hardly what most would call intrusive.
The only serious complaint we have to field on the V8 is the stop-start function that is slow to react off the line. If you're transitioning from a standstill to the throttle with any sort of urgency, you risk rushing the startup and are greeted by an unceremonious lurch forward and back. The good news is that you can disable the system if it's bothersome and you don't mind the mileage hit.
Balanced Performance
Making the case for the V8 or V6 will not come down to the driving dynamics. Power notwithstanding, both Audi A8 variants have the same potential for performance, with slalom runs right at the 65-mph mark. The V8 outweighs the V6 by 200 pounds, but weight distribution is essentially identical at 55/45 front and rear. With myriad electronic driver aids and Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive, it really takes more bravery than skill to pilot the A8 with any level of aggression.
Even on rain-slicked mountain roads, the 2013 Audi A8 L shrugs off hairpin turns and careless throttle inputs. It would take the most ham-fisted Neanderthal of a driver to get the car out of sorts, as its sole purpose seems to be dissecting curves with minimal effort behind the wheel. The A8 is as confidence-inspiring and tranquil under high cornering loads as it is when lumbering down swanky boulevards.
And it's with this tidiness that the A8 appeals to both driver and passengers. With the Audi Drive Select set in Comfort mode, the big sedan glides over road imperfections with barely a ripple sent through to the cabin.
Selecting a sportier drive setting isn't likely to elicit any contrary comments from passengers either, as the differences are largely felt by the driver in the form of increased steering weight and driveline response. The suspension stiffens, too, but not to any objectionable degree. In the absence of harshness, the car simply feels more solid and buttoned-down.
The Seat of Power
The real conundrum regarding this Audi A8 L may be regarding the preferred seat. With the $11,250 Executive Rear Seat option added to our test vehicle, choosing between driver and passenger does actually become an issue. Comparing these loungelike rear seats to private jets does not do them justice. Private jets are loud and feel claustrophobic by comparison.
The range of seat adjustments allows dignitary passengers to either sit upright or recline to near horizontal. In full dictator mode, the front passenger seat slides forward for ultimate legroom, then a footrest folds out from the seatback.
In addition to all of this space, that passenger has the luxury of selecting a wide variety of comfort features that include the obligatory heating and ventilation, as well as a host of massage styles and entertainment options.
And then there's the cooler box between the rear seats that will keep a bottle of Dom at the perfect temperature for celebrating the latest acquisition or conquest. With all of the climate and refrigerator mechanicals eating up trunk space, though, backseat VIPs will need to travel lighter than usual.
Bold Choices for the Commander
Part of leading with authority requires some tough decisions, and the 2013 Audi A8 L is not the only luxury flagship in this realm. In this $100,000 range, one cannot overlook the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Jaguar XJL, Porsche Panamera or BMW 7 Series. All can be similarly appointed at similar enough prices, and none of them is lacking in power or sophistication.
The 2013 Audi A8 L now distinguishes itself with a V8 engine that is both technologically advanced and sufficiently powerful to measure up to anything in the class. Nothing about the way it performs will leave you wanting unless you're looking for a real sport sedan. In that case, you're better off with something smaller.
This A8 is all about heightened performance in a full-size package. It delivers on all counts and does so in a way that's satisfying without being over the top. Trump wouldn't like it, and that's just fine with Audi.

SO … with visions of Michelle Money hair dancing in my head, I walk right in to the local salon. Over the smell of perms and the hmmm of dryers, all the wet and foiled heads turn to see who's come in.
It's me. "Do you do Brazilian Blowouts?"
Blank stares freckled with a few looks of horror.
"Like hair removal?" Asks the woman wearing gloves over the shampoo bowl as her eyebrows arch straight off the top of her head.
"NO!" I cry a little too loud. "No, it's like a blow out. Like a straighteing treatment …"
"You want me to STRAIGHTEN?, to BLOW DRY, down there?!" She is aghast. Horrified.
Oh. Good, night!
Everyone looking at me. I'm hot. Really hot.
I smile and stammer, "No, no! It's like a treatment for your hair." I say, and then point to my head, "On your head?" My pit stains have now battled through three layers of poly pro and one layer of sub zero down parka. Who has pit stains on the outside of their parka? Not Michelle Money.
All the heads are shaking. "No. No. No."
People looking at me like, "What? The …"
The good news? I'm starting to look more and more local.
Karella, Musk Oxen

Obesity: A Q&A with N.J. doctor Jeffrey Levine
January 12, 2012
Newark Star Ledger
It's that time of year, when resolutions to eat right and lose weight bloom into full-fledged, life-changing habits ... or wither and die on the vine.
Physician Jeffrey Levine, who lives in Hillsborough with his wife and four daughters, knows all about it. Levine is a family physician and women's health specialist at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick. He also was a contestant on "The Biggest Loser" in 2005. Levine, who will turn 50 next month, weighed in at more than 400 pounds prior to joining the TV show. He was eliminated in the second to last week of the show, but Levine counts himself a winner.
Competing on the show gave him a jumpstart on losing more than 180 pounds. He now weighs between 270 and 275, and still struggles to keep the pounds off.
Today, he'll speak at the UMDNJ President's Lecture Series: "New Jersey's Obesity Epidemic: the Role of the Health Care Professional." Last year, the Trust for America's Health found New Jersey, although among the least obese states, had an obesity rate that grew by 90 percent in 15 years. Editorial writer Linda Ocasio spoke with Levine about the battle of the bulge.

In the first quarter of year 2009, the United Doctors Hospital Board decided to pursue with the International Accreditation and last quarter of the same year, consultation with Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI) was conducted.
ACHSI is one of the few international agencies certified by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua) to undertake healthcare facility accreditation around the globe. With the completion of the ACSHI process, UDH has developed and implemented a firm system of patient care based on patient safety. It also helped in creating a culture of evidence-based approach to healthcare and data-driven decision-making.
On May 17, 18 & 19, 2010, the Organization Wide Survey (OWS) was conducted by the ACHSI Team which consists of five (5) surveyors namely Mr. Wayne Singh (Team Leader), Mrs. Marilyn Sneddon, Dr. Oussama Kayali, Mr. Timothy Gardner & Dr. Samy Sidky.
