Working with a beta app on your device may mean living on the edge a bit thanks to unfinished software not meant for the masses quite yet, but it also means you get new features ahead of everyone else.
Late on Wednesday, Google announced an incoming update to the beta version of Chrome for Android, bumping the version number up to 41.0.2272.34 and adding a nice little feature: pull-to-refresh. With this, reloading a web page will be as simple as dragging the page down until a visual identifier indicates it's time to release it. Google says it will work on "most pages."
Reloading a web page in Chrome right now means tapping on the three-button overflow key at the top right, then tapping another burging, but for anyone who really doesn't want to go through any extra steps to reload a page, Google at least has another option.
Are you using the Chrome beta app for Android?

Late Tuesday, a group of Duke University graduate students held a celebration near the Duke Chapel. Their aim is for a union vote at Duke in the spring.The Washington Post has an in-depth look at what the decision means.
...[Literature teaching assistant Bennett] Carpenter said he'd been in contact with colleagues at Cornell, Yale, Columbia and other private universities about organizing. Duke has 2,500 Ph.D. students, Carpenter said. He said he hopes the majority will agree to file with the labor relations board for a union election next spring. If grad students vote to join a union, Duke would have to recognize it.
...Graduate students at Duke watched in March as adjunct faculty at Duke voted by a large majority to unionize. A group called Duke Teaching First led the push to join the Service Employees International Union in hopes of better pay, benefits and job security. The Duke vote was the first in decades at a private university in the South, a region that generally has weak unions.
Carpenter said the faculty effort prompted graduate students to say, "Hey, if they can do that, then maybe we can, too."
[Briggs] owner Evelyn Scruggs talked about the difficulties her family business has faced because of the recession. Lara Trump said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton would simply continue the Obama administration's policies, while Donald Trump would do more to help small businesses and bring jobs back from overseas.Right. There was also this:
"When you have a good economy, when you bring jobs back that are otherwise overseas, they're going to go to hard-working Americans," Lara Trump said, adding that curbing illegal immigration also would open up jobs.
Numerous media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and CNN, have documented a string of small businesses hurt when Donald Trump reneged on contracts or refused to pay suppliers to his casinos and other businesses.Lara doesn't know anything about those complaints, OK?
Lara Trump said she isn't familiar with those complaints.
During his tenure in Fayetteville, the department became one of the first law enforcement agencies in the state to equip its officers with body cameras. The department also has made more data on its policing publicly available, and it is implementing numerous suggestions for improvement made by the U.S. Justice Department after Medlock called inspectors in to help upgrade policies and procedures.Medlock spoke at a press conference announcing the launch of opendatapolicingnc.com in Durham back in December.
First, Pence will stop in Charlotte to speak at the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry. This event is not open to the public.Pence was in Pennsylvania yesterday, where he got his hair cut at a black barbershop. It was weird.
Later, Trump will head to Wilmington for a rally at Manufacturing Methods, LLC. Doors open at noon and Pence takes the stage at 3:00 p.m.

Husk Nashville - I like it. I like it a lot.
"Wait till the craze dies down," I said, "I bet it's not as good as people keep saying it is," I said. PFFT! I know nothing, Jon Snow.
But now I do. Now I know why people were excited that Husk Nashville was finally open, and I know that it wasn't all hype and my first meal there lived up to the standards set for me by, well, a lot of people.
The restaurant is in this beautiful house on top of a hill downtown. It just screams Southern. In the daytime, the huge windows let in tons of light and the atmosphere's open and airy whether you're dining upstairs in the little rooms or downstairs by the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the vegetable garden. At night, it takes on a cozier feel, almost like you're at a friend's house for dinner. Be sure to take in the view of downtown when you leave, it's pretty spectacular.
Anyway, I went for lunch first and I really really loved it. I loved my lunch so much that I brought The Husband back the next evening to celebrate his birthday and HE loved it! We both agreed that it was one of the best meals we'd had in Nashville in a long time. What The Husband and I love most of all is that everything we ate was real, good, delicious food.(Click on thumbnail, hover cursor for captions)
It probably sounds weird when I say "we had real, good food" and what I mean is that there's nothing pretentious about the dishes - it's all textures and flavors we recognize and love but BETTER and all they do to enhance a dish is use the other ingredients they have. I never knew shrimp & grits could taste so good and before eating there I really disliked country ham, but I will eat Husk Nashville's country ham appetizer with gusto. Everyday if I could! Everything I ate was delicious, cooked just right (our steak was a perfect medium) and it all tasted so fresh and so good. Believe me, when you take your first bite you'll know what I mean.
All ingredients used at Husk Nashville are sourced locally and regionally and the menu changes everyday because they use what they have on hand. If you're curious where it all comes from, everything's written on a chalkboard wall you'll see as you enter the restaurant so you can check out where it's all from. Or if you're curious but lazy, you can look at their list of suppliers here before you go.
Oh hey, remember when I had chicken skin sushi and was all, "someone in Nashville needs to get on this"? Well, THANK YOU Sean Brock and Morgan McGlone! It's as if you heard my plea and you've made me a very, very happy girl. Order the fried chicken skin appetizer, thank me later.
Another thing you shouldn't skip is dessert. Buttermilk Road's Lisa Donovan is at the pastry helm and, man, even the simplest dessert like soft serve ice cream (pictured) is on a whole new level. So indulge, just do it, you will not regret it and you know you want to.
It's a nice restaurant that doesn't cost an arm, leg and my car payment. But don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's cheap either but compared to other restaurants, I think it's good value for what you spend.
The service is pretty solid, the servers are knowledgeable of the menu and what each dish is like, and they're attentive without hovering or being annoying so that's great. Each time I've been back it's been consistently good.
However, these are my opinions and you may disagree or scoff and think I'm just drinking the trend punch so I encourage you to make your reservation and go try it for yourself and form your own opinions. And, if you still disagree, then that's fine - more Husk Nashville for me.
You can also check out what Beth of Eat, Drink, Smile thought of her lunch here. Want a vegetarian's take on things? Here's Lesley Eats' experience. Local public television station, NPT and local blogger Heidi Jewell of Under The Guise also did a "You Ought To Know Nashville" segment at Husk Nashville that you can watch here.
Husk Nashville | 37 Rutledge Street, Nashville | HuskNashville.com
PS: I'd like to thank my friend Katie P for convincing me that I didn't know better and for making our lunch reservations.

The Rich Get Richer, the Poor Get Shafted
Senators Portray Bankruptcy Bill as Unfair
By Marcy Gordon
The Associated Press
Thursday 03 March 2005
Washington - Stung by two days of defeat for their bids to revise a bill overhauling the bankruptcy laws, Senate Democrats are portraying the measure as making it harder for low-income, elderly and sick people to dissolve their debts while allowing the wealthy to shelter assets.
Through a day of debate Wednesday, the Democrats maintained a rhetorical accent on what they see as the inequity of the bankruptcy legislation. The Republicans, who hold the majority, maintained tight discipline. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, warned against "killer amendments" that could jeopardize the bill's acceptance by the House.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., a leading opponent of the legislation as written, will try to get an increase in the minimum wage - a top priority of the Democrats - attached to it, aides said. Kennedy's proposal would lift the hourly minimum from $5.15 to $7.25 over two years.
Mostly along party lines, the Senate voted 59-40 Wednesday to reject a Democratic amendment that would have allowed older people to get special homestead exemptions to keep their homes when they file for bankruptcy. Currently, such exemptions are determined by the states.
Also rebuffed, 58-39, were two proposals focused on people whose significant medical expenses for illness force them to file for bankruptcy.
The first would have allowed people to keep at least $150,000 of the equity in their primary residence. If, in addition, medical bills exceed 25 percent of the person's income, the second proposal would have exempted them from a new test in the legislation measuring income and assets of bankruptcy applicants to determine if debts can be discharged.
Under unlimited homestead exemptions in a half-dozen states, "fat cats who go into bankruptcy don't lose their mansions," said Kennedy, author of the twin amendments. "Where is fairness in this bill?"
By another 59-40 tally, the Senate defeated a Democratic proposal to require that credit card statements show how long it would take the consumer to pay off his or her debt by making only the minimum monthly payment, and what the total interest charges would be.
The bankruptcy overhaul bill would raise the threshold for dissolving credit card and other consumer debts in bankruptcy court. Supporters are predicting a swift victory after nearly eight years of congressional gridlock and feverish lobbying by banks and other credit-card issuers.
The new "means" test in the legislation is intended to determine whether those seeking bankruptcy protection must repay their debts or are allowed to have them canceled. Under the current system, bankruptcy judges have the discretion to decide that.
Supporters of the bill hope for passage before lawmakers adjourn in mid-March for the spring recess.
Banks, credit card companies and retailers have pushed since 1997 for a bill overhauling the bankruptcy laws. Consumer and civil rights groups and unions say the legislation would shred a safety net for those who have lost their jobs or face mounting medical bills.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'hope' tag.
One reality of living is that we sin. No matter how hard we try to leave a godly and clean life, there is always an imperfection creeping in. Needless to say, we are not perfect beings. We are only human. God, alone, is perfect. However, as a person, I have always tried to be perfect. To control what I can control. I try to avoid sinning. I try not to do to others what I don't want them to do to me. I try not to gossip, not to lose my temper, not to dishonor anyone and a whole lot more. But that's pretty much what I can do by myself…to try.
Have you ever been frustrated with a recurring bad habit? How many times have you beaten yourself up for always "falling into a temptation"? Have you reached the point when you absolutely hated yourself because you have repeatedly failed to stand firm on your resolution to live a clean life? Were there times when you feel that you are already abusing God's forgiveness and because of that you just don't ask for forgiveness anymore? The reason why I am asking is that I have been there and most of the time…I still am. The fact is that the enemy is everywhere and he is present in every temptation and circumstances in our lives. He exists for a purpose: to steal, kill and destroy.
Everyone has his own "demons to battle" and it is mostly manifested by your weakest areas. It may be a blatant sin such as sexual perversion, lust, rage/temper, greed, pride or lying. It may also be subtle like cheating, gossiping, people pleasing, and procrastination. In every battle, the most important thing to know and understand is your enemy: to identify and pursue it head on. We have been given a natural alarm if something we do is wrong. Most sociologists and psychologists may identify them as the feeling you get when you act outside of the norm – when society, in general, does not accept what you do. I have a different view. Our natural alarm is that queasy feeling, that troubling whisper, that nagging and persistent feeling that bothers you every time and causes you to repeatedly ponder on what you have done. It is simply…GUILT.
Like most people, we try to justify our actions. We make logical analysis and worse, consider these "demons" as part of our human nature…our natural built. If we believe that we were made in the image and likeness of God then it should not be hard to understand that we were not designed to sin. To sin is not our natural make-up…rather; it is something that we need to conquer. This explains, then, the reason why we feel guilty…because sinning should not be natural to us. Similar to injecting a diluted or impure fuel to your car engine…sinning will not only bring troubles in your life but damage your soul as well.
I'm pretty sure you will agree with me that we can't shake off guilt…that is why we feel the urge to recompense our misdeeds with good actions. The best way to remove guilt really is to conquer the cause. In my personal experience, the only effective way to conquer sin is to draw near to God. It is not a one-time solution. Never is. It is an unending process.
James 4:7-10 says,
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
I realized that I am most vulnerable to making wrong decisions and give in to temptations and even unintentionally sinning when I am far from God. You see, the enemy seizes every opportunity big or small to attack us and being near God (in my case through prayer and devotion) enables us to be totally dependent and guided by Him. Our battle then is not ours alone to face since God is our ally!
I would like to share the following passages which inspired this entry:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12: 1-2
Romans 12 is replete with Paul's admonition of living right but it all starts with his basic instruction (paraphrased version):
"By the mercy of God, present yourselves as a living sacrifice: a sacrifice that is holy and acceptable unto God. This is your reasonable service to God. "
How can we do this?
"Don't follow the ways of this world but transform yourselves into God's glory by renewing your mind so that you will show what is good, acceptable (by God's standards) and perfect will of God in your lives."
God's Word is clear. Listen to your "gut feeling", acknowledge that "guilt". It is your signal that what you are doing or about to do is NOT natural…it is NOT God's design for you and by all means…you have to end it.
I like the way how Paul ended his lesson:
Do not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:20
I don't know with you but to me, it is an assurance that yes…it is hard to break sin…to be free from your bondage but it can be certainly done!
I want to share the lyrics of this song which has blessed me and assured me of God's love many times. God speaks in various ways…through His Word, through others' lives, and sometimes through a random song. I last sang this more than 10 years ago in high school and I think the message is timeless. I hope that, as you read through this, you will be reminded of God's love.
Trust His Heart
By: Babbie Mason
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see Him,
Remember you're never alone
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
He sees the master plan
He holds the future in His hand,
So don't live as those who have no hope,
While our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me,
To someday be just like Him
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
When you don't understand
When you don't see his plan
When you can't trace his hand
Trust His Heart
This is my first post so pardon me if it's rusty. I just want to share with you my thoughts from my quiet time and I hope that you could do the same. Like most Christians, I experience constant struggles and I know how it would be extremely helpful to have someone along to share our pains, insights and stories.
As I was doing my quiet time this morning, I realized that my Bible reading centered on one theme: HOPE. I am just starting my annual Bible reading finishing the first 6 chapters of the Bible. I have read through the book of Genesis perhaps more than 10 times in my lifetime mostly due to my Christian school background. But this morning was different. It was as if I was reading the Scripture for the very first time.
First realization was – we were created for God's pleasure. This is quite a revelation even after reading THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE. Anyway, looking at the Creation and all of the processes and thought that came into it – there was really no reason for God to create man except that it pleased Him. I was just thinking – like a child creating a paper boat out of an old newspaper, the purpose of our existence is simply to please God. I could just imagine how frustrated God is as a Creator with all of the disappointments and hurts we gave Him. But more than that, I am amazed with how He fell in love with us that even with all of the pain and frustrations – He kept us and loved us.
I remember how I usually hold on to things because of memories. Even when I cannot use the object anymore, I would hold on to it because of the pleasure and memories it gave. However, no matter how attached the object is to me, I would eventually throw it or give it away. That is the normal relationship between the creator and the creation. Imagine how great God's love for us to give up His Son to make us worthy to be saved from being thrown away. Rather than looking at our elaborate plans to fulfill our life mission, perhaps, it will be better if we just focus on our single, most important purpose and live it every single day of our lives and fulfill it on every single thing that we do: to bring pleasure (delight, joy, happiness, fulfillment) to God. Maybe it's just as simple as doing our tasks the best way possible, making an effort to clean the environment, helping an elderly cross the street or just making our day as productive as possible.
One interesting story that I focused on was the story of Cain. Most of us would remember Cain as the evil brother who killed Abel. Well, Cain's story can mean a lot of things. When I read it today, I saw a beautiful and touching love story.
One revelation from Cain's story is HOPE. After murder, Cain's life have turned upside down. He was an outcast. A murderer. He can be easily judged with death. But God offered him an alternative. God offered Cain a new life – it may be a life outside of his old one but a new one nonetheless. In a way, God might have said.. "Hey, we cannot change the past…what you have done in the past…but here's a new life – take it and start anew. Your life does not end here."
Cain's story shows many lessons. But this morning – it showed me the reality of God's immeasurable love. When God threw Cain from Eden – Cain pleaded that he will not be given a mark because the men who will recognize him will try to kill him for vengeance. God did not only command that no man should kill Cain but also gave a consequence – that if anyone should kill Cain, he shall be avenged seven-fold. This much work for a murderer! God offered a new start for Cain! It is not only forgiveness but great love! It's as if God was saying, "Go ahead my child, start a new life with Me and I will guarantee that no man will harm you."
If God can love us like that – then we have eternal hope. There is hope to change our bad ways, quit our vices, resist temptation, break our bondage, restore broken relationships and such forth. God has not only given us an avenue to do so through Jesus but has also shown Himself that He will love us no matter what.

Action from Bosham and Dell Quay features in this week's sailing digest – with an Olympic sailor helping make the former's junior week a big success.
Get involved in the coverage by sending your reports to firstname.lastname@example.com
Cowes Week, often a showcase for the best and most competitive sailors from around Europe, had to do without Sarah Ayton, last Friday.
That's because the two-time gold medallist for Team GB at the Beijing and Athens Olympics was testing her racing skills against the junior optimist fleet at the Bosham Junior Week regatta.
Ayton and her son Thomas, aged six, coached and raced against the youngest competitors in the regatta, most aged eight to ten, just starting out on their sailing careers, to spur them on as they follow in the footsteps of role models like the Olympic hero.
A total 150 youngsters aged between eight and 18 participated in the annual regatta which was held over six days with up to nine starts every day.
Sailing in ten fleets in six different classes, the young sailors pitted their wits against each other in some challenging weather varying from force five to no wind, beautiful sunshine to torrential rain.
Among the Bosham cadets participating already making their mark is 13-year-old Cossie Lewis, who started her sailing in Optimist dinghies at Bosham and came seventh in the European Optimist championships in July and was the highest-placed GB girl.
Apart from the official racing, there was a full programme of fun races which were also hotly contested.
Winners included - Fathers in an Optimist race: Nigel Russel; Parent and child in a Feva race: Mark and Will Timberlake; Blindfold mothers rowing race: Rufus and Jane MacKenzie.
The new cadet committee were voted in with Charlie Knottenbelt chosen as the new cadet captain and Elise Kearsey the new vice-captain.
The packed social calendar included football, rounders, a black-tie dinner and disco, film night, under-13 games, hog roast, and a parents' disco.
Junior Week racing winners: 420: Jack Holliday & George Hayes; Senior Mirror: Dominic Gogarty & Edward Hodgson; Junior Mirror: Maria Howeson & Tabitha Hill; Senior Optimist: William Timberlake; Junior Optimist: Isabel Medina; Junior Feva: Patrick Mayhew & Felix Kent;
Senior Feva: Cossie Lewis & Julia Mellers; Laser Radial: Sophia Harper; Junior Topper: Archie Gibbon; Senior Topper: Flora Windebank.
For the third race in the Dell Quay SC Late Trophy series, the wind was light and very variable. Race officer Chris West set a course around Crouchers, Bowling, Marina and Quay marks to make the best of conditions.
In the Solo-class race, Richard Ede made a good start but was soon overtaken by Malcolm Buchanan to leeward and John Purdy to windward. Purdy was first to Crouchers, followed by Buchanan.
The fleet spread over a wide area, trying to find where the wind pockets were hiding. Richard Bridgmont moved up to third, while Ede drifted back to last place.
A sea breeze was trying to come in but didn't, resulting in a very variable wind direction. By this time Purdy had established a very long lead over the rest of the fleet.
When Marina was eventually reached, Buchanan was still second, with Ede now third, having found some wind, and Bridgmont fourth. There was much place changing throughout the fleet.
At the finish Purdy came in first with a huge lead of many minutes, Buchanan second and Ede close behind in third, leaving Bridgmont fourth. The rest of the boats straggled in over a long period, with one boat failing to finish. For all classes the second race was abandoned because of a lack of wind.
The 2000 class race was the first race of the series. First place was taken by Mike Fitzgerald and Tim Dormer with Anne and Jim Norfolk coming in second.
In the handicap class race, the fleet struggled to make headway in the light wind, forcing three boats to abandon the race.
Andrew Buchanan (Finn) came in first on handicap, with Peter King and Jamie Prescott (RS400) second and Mike Dicker/Dom White (Fireball) third.
Races five and six in the series start at 10.15am on Sunday, September 27.

Across the country, students are returning to the classroom for the start of the new school year and parents are busy making shopping lists for essential school supplies. These days, that list includes more than just pencils and notebooks; increasingly, access to a home Internet connection is a prerequisite for academic success.
Unfortunately, too many families cannot afford a monthly subscription — and the digital literacy to understand and benefit from its value. What's more is that students on the wrong side of this digital divide — those whose access to online resources is limited to public library visits or limited mobile data plans — will increasingly find themselves at a disadvantage compared to their peers.
The digital divide is pernicious to the Latino community. A 2013 study found that only 53 percent of Latinos had a broadband connection at home, compared to 74 percent of white households. That's why, like voting rights, the digital divide has now become a front burner civil-rights issue and a fundamental barrier to full enfranchisement.
Recently, the Obama administration announced a new pilot program, ConnectHome, aimed at expanding broadband access to low-income households. It's an important step forward.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is rolling out the program in 28 pilot communities, and Secretary Julian Castro is following the model pioneered by an earlier program that the NAACP has called the biggest experiment ever aimed at closing the digital divide — a program initiated by, of all organizations, a leading Internet provider.
Comcast's Internet Essentials, launched in 2011, has connected more than 2 million Americans in 500,000 low-income households by offering a home broadband subscription for less than $10 a month to families with children eligible for the National School Lunch Program. Families also have the option of purchasing a computer for less than $150.
Internet Essentials partners with hundreds of civic organizations and leaders in neighborhoods across the country, who have both the "street cred" and the infrastructure to effectively teach digital literacy skills to participating families.
It's the comprehensiveness of this approach that explains the program's success. It's a validation of research that has shown that cost is not the only barrier standing between low-income families and broadband adoption.
According to the Pew Research Center, less than 20 percent of households without home broadband name price as their primary barrier to adoption; by contrast, 34 percent don't feel it is relevant to their lives, while 32 percent say they simply don't understand how to use the Internet.
In the Latino community, this digital literacy gap is heightened by language barriers. Of Latino Internet users in the United States, nearly three in four are either English-speaking or bilingual; among those not yet connected, that figure falls to 40 percent.
Addressing the digital literacy and cultural barriers — including teaching prospective enrollees how broadband Internet can radically change their lives — might be the most important part of the puzzle.
The results speak for themselves. Nearly every single family that has enrolled in Internet Essentials say it has improved their children's grades — an unimpeachable validation of the importance of home broadband.
Unlike so many of our social and economic problems, we now know how to solve the digital divide; it just requires more leaders getting involved and building on the clear successes we've already seen. HUD's ConnectHome pilot is an important step that hopes to duplicate the results of Internet Essentials, but the scope of the problem demands a greater effort.
The digital divide is a fundamental civil-rights issue. But with a greater commitment from both public- and private-sector leaders, it could soon become a problem of the past.
Dr. Juan Andrade, Jr. is the president of the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute, a Chicago-based nonprofit committed to increasing civic participation in the Latino community.

Diego Fabbrini will miss another Birmingham City away match after being omitted from the squad for the trip to Barnsley.
The Italian complained of a sore hamstring after training at Wast Hills on Friday and did not make the trip to Oakwell.
Manager Gianfranco Zola has made one change to the side which was beaten at Derby, with Che Adams coming in for Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Fabbrini also pulled out of the trip to Newcastle earlier this month.
Zola is going in search of his first Blues win since replacing Gary Rowett as boss. His first two games ended in Championship defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Derby.
Blues are 11th in the table. They have the same 34 points tally as Barnsley, but their hosts are a place above them on goal difference.

Hole 1 - Par 4/5: A long par four very well bunkered. Long hitters should favor the left side and all others favor the right side of the fairway off of the tee.
Your second shot is critical. If the pin is up front, stay below the hole. If you miss the green, the best spot to leave the ball is short and right.
A two putt is a good thing as this green has loads of character.

I was getting ice cubes from our fridge's ice-maker to put in the cooler for our upcoming little vacation. I pressed one of the six or so mysterious buttons on the panel of the ice-maker by accident. Power saver it said. Saving power is good, right? Yay for me!
Michelle pointed out that now the little digital readout said OF OF. "I think you just turned it off."
"No way," I said. "What kind of crazy fridge would have an off button? I think it says zero fahrenheit. See, there's this little power freeze button, I must have hit that by accident too." Being Canadian, fahrenheits have always been these weird inscrutable units that mean absolutely nothing in the real world, kind of like ha'pennies or cubits. So it didn't really seem like much of a stretch to assume that my fridge had a setting where you could power freeze the freezer down to zero fahrenheits. That certainly made more sense than a fridge with an off button.
Vacation was really great.
About a week later we came home and the fridge still said OF OF and also it really was off and all our food was ruined. Hundreds of dollars worth of food.
I still laugh at that part in Emperor's New Groove:
"Pull the lever, Kronk."
"Why do we even have that lever?"
The answer to the question, "Why does my fridge even have that button?" is so that floor models in dealerships can have all the lights but not the power expenditure of actual refrigeration. I did not laugh at that part.
I'm turning 40 shortly- September 11th. I'm doing okay with this fact. What's freaking me out a bit mroe is that my oldest daughter, Pallas, is starting kindergarten next week. How did that happen? She's still so new! She took pre-school out of her dayhome and "graduated" a couple of months ago. I was oddly proud of this feat, nearly tearing up a bit when I walked her home the last day, and even felt a pang of regret that I wouldn't be able to make it to the little graduation ceremony for her. But then I remembered the scene in The Incredibles where Mr. Incredible questions why they are having a similar ceremony for JackJack. His exact words escape me but they illuminate the entire theme of the movie, which is essentially "Why be mediocre when you can be incredible?"
I'm certainly not saying that Pallas is mediocre, but between you and me, graduating pre-school doesn't really rank as her greatest achievement. She can do all kinds of stuff, like sing the entire soundtrack of Frozen, and name every member of the Sinister Six. She also made up her own superhero once, Owie Badguy. I dressed up as Owie for Halloween since he is so awesome. He punches badguys and makes them say "Owie!"
Did I mention she hasn't even started Kindergarten yet? She's pretty incredible.
I bought Pallas a new book I'd heard of on Twitter, written by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by noted comics-letterer-and-penciller Chris Eliopoulos, called 'I Am Amelia Earhart'. As you might expect, it's a book for little girls about how little girls can do anything they bloody well please, even when others say you can't or shouldn't. This is an important lesson I whole-heartedly agree with and have been trying to impart, with some success, to both our daughters. Our youngest, Naia, seems to have this lesson encoded in her DNA or something, but Pallas sometimes needs reminding, and then is able to kick ten tons of ass.
The book was a hit, became our recurring night-night story several days in a row (thankfully and appropriately, it doesn't get into Amelia's ultimate fate). The thing that seems to have impressed Pallas the most about Amelia, however, is that someone made a book about her.
"Dad, when I grow up, I want to be in a book too."
"Oh. Good for you! You know, uh, just do some incredible things like Amelia and someone will probably write a book about you I'm sure."
"Were you ever in a book?"
"No. No, I think it might be too late for me for that."
She actually came back to me a few times and asked me why it was too late for me. I didn't really have a good answer. Well, did I mention I'm turning 40 soon? That's practically death's door.
No it's not. Truthfully, I never really wanted to be IN a book. But I always kind of wanted to be ON a book- my name on the cover I mean.
A nice little kick in the ass from my daughter courtesy of Amelia Earhart.
I wasn't going to write these little anecdotes up unless I could find a uniting theme, and the theme of this mini-essay is themes! Cue theme music here. The discerning reader will note that I didn't really elucidate the theme of Emperor's New Groove, but only because that's one everyone knows, right? Try not to get turned into a llama if you can help it.

Traveling to New York was an awesome experience. I traveled to New York for a weekend to sightsee and to shop. While I was there, I visited monumental places such as the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site, Empire State building, and Times Square. The culture is different for me because I grew up down south and in a country area. My summers were spent outdoors. I have always dreamed of not only visiting a big city, but living in a big city. The best part about dreaming is many dreams come true because I now live in a big city. I visited the Diamond District while in New York. Of course, I did a lot of window shopping. Did someone mention chocolate? They did at the Hershey Chocolate Store in New York. I literally bought the entire store. Ok, I did not buy the entire store, but I wanted to because the candy was so daring.
One of my favorite movies is Forrest Gump. Who doesn't remember the Bubba Gump Shrimping Boat? Above you will see a photo of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. which was named after the movie characters Bubba Blue and Forrest Gump. Such an awesome movie. One memorable moment was looking over the Hudson river. I was so excited to be in New York. I had a great time and I plan on visiting again soon.

Rahm Emanuel will face criticism that he's an outsider if he decides to run for mayor of Chicago after two years as White House chief of staff, but city election law doesn't hold it against him.
He's not the only high-profile politician whose Chicago roots could be a point of contention as potential candidates decide whether to run for mayor. U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson, who are both considering mayoral bids, spend a significant amount of their time in Washington as well.
The residency of the state Sen. James Meeks, a minister who owns a home in suburban South Holland, also has come into question. He said his father lives there while he resides in a house near his Salem Baptist Church in the Roseland neighborhood.

Making a blogging website and writing unique content is a very good and easy way to earn money online, if you have knowledge about websites. But, even if you have very little skills of internet you can make your own website and start writing articles by the help of articles already published on the internet for beginners. I've compiled a list showing basic 10 steps on making a blogging website which may help a beginner. Please give your valuable comments.
10. Choose a Topic
Choosing a topic is the basic and first step. You should choose a topic which easy for you to write. The best topic is technology or internet. After choosing your topic, search on the internet to see whether your chosen topic is searched by people or ask your friends what they search the most except illegal content like gambling or hate speech.
9. Buy a Domain
Now, this is one of the most important step. You should only buy a TLD(Top Level Domain) like .com, .net, .org or .info. Never go for a free subdomain. You can also go for a ccTLD(country code Top Level Domain) like .us or .ca if your topic is related to a specific country or region. And I would suggest to buy your doamin from a legit registrar like GoDaddy or Hostgator.
8. A Good Web Hosting

13 August 2012 Super quality and outstanding customer support I ordered three cabinet door knobs : super quality but one of the three had a faulty thread that made it unusable. I wrote to customer support : a replacement was shipped the next day via fedex at no extra cost ! I wish all companies worked this way ! Highly recommended.

Jane's Success Story!(3 posts) (3 voices)
Posted 3 years ago
Jane's Success Story!
It has been just over 2 years since I started NC- so I wanted to write a proper update!
I'm sure it is quite clear from my NC diary that I stopped being interested in reconnecting with the past a long, long time ago-I moved on!
Things have been great AND it just keeps getting better and better! I'm so grateful that this break-up happened- with that 'loss' I gained so much, such as knowledge on men, relationships and life. Most importantly, I found out about LOA and I've been using it consciously to attract what I WANT into my life! Success in all areas of my life! In terms of university, self worth (confidence, not only did I get my 'edge'/inner strength back, but a whole new level of SOARING CONFIDENCE) and yes- the Universe may also have delivered a new love and relationship.
So, how can my success story help you? Here are some points:
-Being in NC is very difficult- at first, the first month is especially the hardest- but you've got to stick with the plan! Scott has made this forum and provided the tools, but it is up to you how you use them-make the most of it and also post in the NC diaries of others- when giving advice to others, you gain a different understanding of your own situation.
-Other people can tell you all you want- but you will have that turning point, being in NC forces you to take of the 'love glasses' and truly evaluate the relationship for what it was, your partner and you. I decided after a few months in NC, that a reconnection wouldn't be necessary- so cry a river, build a bridge and get over it.
-Your ex is also likely thinking about you- my ex tried to 'snoop' around after a few months in NC- just ignore any of their attempts- keep re-sending the NC message until it sticks! NC gives you the control back over your life.
-This is a working forum- so it might be okay to occasionally be negative in your NC diary- we are all human, it happens, but find a forum buddy to vent- trust me, it will help a lot- and especially if it is one of the opposite gender-so you get a different look at the relationship! Also- you know you're truly evolving, when others find your NC diary an inspiration and you are asked to become someone else's forum buddy!
-Lastly, this part is the hardest part, but, you must do this otherwise you will be here again. And that is to truly evaluate what your part was in the end of that relationship. Use the time in NC to make yourself stronger in every way-your personal evolution- don't try to rush the process.
Thank you to everyone on here, you are ALL such amazing, beautiful and strong people, who deserve nothing but the best! And I especially want to thank Scott, I am so grateful to have had the honour of meeting you and this forum was such a help when I needed it.
The most important act is to get your happy self ''back'' as Scott says, because once you do that, everything falls into place. It's magic!
One last message- remember, we never stop evolving and if you use your time in NC to make yourself strong, powerful and work on yourself, we come out as Kings and Queens who rock this world-badass.
Keep strong and positive!
-Jane'Each day we stick with NC we get stronger.'- Jane

New government safety rules aim to protect workers from hazardous chemicals
WASHINGTON (AP) ' The Obama administration is adopting long-awaited rules to improve labels on hazardous chemicals and make them conform with international standards developed by the United Nations.
About 43 million U.S. workers come in contact with hazardous materials on the job to at least some degree. The Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration says the new rules should help prevent more than 40 deaths and about 500 workplace injuries from exposure to hazardous chemicals each year. OSHA officials say the uniform labels also will save the industry more than $475 million annually.
The rules were initially proposed during the last days of the Bush administration. The Obama administration is holding them out as a product of a presidential directive last year to streamline regulations and eliminate red tape without compromising safety.

Grimsby Institute's Boxing Academy Coordinator, Andy Cox, who also runs Grimsby Boxing Academy, has been chosen to work as Talent Development Coach for Team England. 28-year-old Andy will now be working with other Coaches and Boxers from other clubs, who are mostly still studying at school or college, to design a training programme.
He will also be running training camps and accompanying Boxers to national and international competitions. Andy said: "I'll be initially working with Juniors, which is great, it means that I will be working with the Olympic Team for 2020 and we are already looking at the World Championships next September.
"This is something that I have been working towards since I set the boxing club up six or seven years ago. I knew I wanted to work at the top level. The training regime is as good, and in some cases, a lot better than in professional sport.
"I have a good understanding of Olympic style boxing and this is the route that I want to go down but I thought it would take me a lot longer. I work a lot of weekends, and it tends to be on a voluntary basis, so I feel it's been a bit like doing an Apprenticeship, and now I will be getting paid for it."
Andy, who is married with three young children, continued: "When I first went in for the final assessment, I stood in the room and all the Boxers and Coaches walked in. They'd just been on an International Tournament and I suddenly realised how big this thing was.
"There is going to be pressure with this because these young people could be Boxing at the Olympics in a few years time. This is something I love doing and I'd do it for free.
"This new role will bring respect to my role with the Boxing Academy. The fact that I'm able to go in with some pedigree and say that I've worked at all levels for fitness at Club, National and International Level, I'm earning my stripes as I go. A lot of Coaches work all their life and won't get this opportunity – I think the learners really look up to that."

Maybe it was the beautiful spring sunshine, or the fact that we got there early and had the place to ourselves, or the carpets of spring bulbs, or the fact that I was feeling relaxed and child free, but I was quite blown away by the Henry Moore exhibition at Kew. As it says on the website, it's monumental sculpture in a world heritage setting. Click here for more about the large reclining figure below.
Henry Moore is known for his organic shapes in bronze and marble, often abstractions of the human form. His work was often inspired by the shapes of bone and stone flints that he found near his home and I particularly love his female figures and those that represent mother and child.
