My frustration got the better of me tonight... this is the result.
Rescue Me.
Lauren sat at the table in the Queen Vic, thinking back to when Joey had come round earlier today. Why had she pushed him away? Was she trying to finish things with him? No, that wasn't what she wanted but the last few days had been stressful and the last thing she needed now was for him to leave her too.
Her problems had really begun at the beginning of the week. It hadn't been that she was horny, although that was a given with a boyfriend as good looking as hers, it was the fact they couldn't get any alone time. She could go some time without jumping his bones... in fact she'd had to for more time than should be allowed for anyone as early in a relationship as her and Joey were, especially when they'd only just got back together again. But they were supposed to be keeping their relationship quiet even though they were never allowed to be alone together either.
Actually her week had been going wrong even earlier than that. Her mother was quite literally doing her head in. Lauren had tried to do something to make her mother proud, fed up of being a disappointment to her parents all the time. So she'd offered to help out at the salon and did she get any thanks for it. No! All that happened was she found out her mum was lying to her. Again. You'd think she'd have learnt after the debacle at Christmas. This led to another row, obviously. It was all her family seemed able to do today these days. Lauren was disgusted that her mother could disregard her own health so easily. After getting the all clear, having gone through so much to get it and what for? For her to miss another appointment? Lauren just didn't understand it.
So she'd gone to Joey's, hoping to get some alone time there but no, Kat came home, spoiling the moment. They'd met Poppy and Fats at the pub and it had been nice to be out together but it was really difficult not to kiss him in front of everyone and screw the consequences. So they'd taken a bit of a risk and had sneaked into the ladies toilets. It was a moment of insanity obviously. Until Poppy walked in and Joey had to hide. Another moment ruined and it was this that pushed them over the edge. Lauren had begun to think it would be much easier if everyone just knew.
Nicking Poppy's keys and going to her house had been a calculated risk but it was a chance to be alone and to finally get to be closer with Joey again. He was as into it as she'd been. She hadn't had to encourage him that much. Then just about the worst thing ever happened and grandma Dot walked in. Of all the people to see them together, it had to be her. At least she hadn't realised who Joey was. Not then anyway.
That moment of realisation hadn't occurred till the following evening. Now that was a real moment of joy for both the family and Lauren in particular. After getting grief from her parents all day she'd been dreading the family meal at the pub. She knew it was going to be a disaster right from the off. She hadn't been wrong. It had started well, her dad had managed to ensure Joey wasn't around but of course he'd come into the bar for a drink and had ended up being hauled over to where everyone else sat. Then grandma Dot recognised him and everything went to hell from there.
Lauren had felt everyone's eyes on her, judging her. It was car crash telly but much more painful. She'd just wanted someone to have her back; support her at a time when she really needed it. Couldn't they see how much she needed them? But no, there was no one. Not her parents, not even Joey. And it had really hurt. So Lauren had done the only thing she could. She'd run; back to their house, away from the prying eyes and gossipers. And when her family had come home, her mum and dad could barely look at her, let alone talk to her. She was so confused, she wasn't sure what she'd done wrong, she thought they supported her and Joey. Had she missed the memo that announced the fact they'd changed their mind?
Today hadn't started any better and she was beginning to wonder if each day was going to get progressively worse. She didn't even have a hangover to blur the edges of the pain she was feeling. She couldn't even speak to Joey because she couldn't get past the fact that he hadn't been there for her the night before. She'd just wanted to hide from everyone but even that didn't go to plan. When Joey came round she thought everything would be okay and now she wished she'd listened to him when he'd told her not to answer the incessant banging on the front door. But she was Lauren Branning and she knew best. So she went to it... and found her grandma there, waiting to preach to her. At first Lauren had been misled into thinking she was about to apologise but then she realised that wasn't the case. Her grandma's words just made her feel even worse. It made her feel dirty and it was too much for her to deal with.
So here she was; sitting in the one place that would provide her true friend; the one thing that would help her escape. Booze. The only problem was she could feel everyone staring at her and it wasn't as relaxing as she'd hope it would be. Just a few minutes ago, that Kirsty woman tried to speak to her about it, 'being nice' was the way she'd put it. Of course Lauren didn't believe her; she wasn't going to fall for that trick. Then her parents walked in and she could see the disappointment on both their faces. How many more times was she going to be the child that let them down? She felt so alone. All her friends apparently weren't as good friends as she'd thought they were. Was this what her future held for her? Would it always be her on her own?
Lauren sighed and took another swig from her glass. Her head was spinning and it wasn't just from the alcohol. She leant forward and rested her head on the arms, trying to gain some calm from the emotions that were bubbling within her.
"I thought I'd find you here..."
She felt him sit down beside her and she wished it offered her the comfort he intended it to. It just made her feel even more the centre of attention. You could almost hear a pin drop in the room as he sat down. "Didn't want to hide away any more..." she told him softly. She stifled the automatic moan as his fingers ran through her hair. She was tempted to lift her head off her arms but she couldn't, she wasn't sure she could meet their faces.
"So you came back to the scene of the crime?" he said and she could hear the laughter in his voice.
"Joey, don't." She whispered. She turned her head so she could see his face, "You didn't hear grandma Dot. It was her at the door this morning. She made me feel this small." She said, holding her finger and thumb a tiny distance apart. "This isn't just me being a drama queen, Joe. I hate this. I hate how this is making me feel. Why is my being as happy as you make me so wrong?"
"It's not wrong..." he whispered, a frown appearing on his face as he heard the desolation in her voice.
"You saw them last night, Joe. Our family were judging us; laughing at us. Morgan thinks we're disgusting and I didn't hear anyone standing up for us. I thought mum and dad were alright with this but they obviously aren't. Why is it so wrong for us to be in love with each other?"
His hand brushed down her back and then he was pulling her towards him, "Come here..." he said gently.
"We can't, Joey... not here." She reminded him.
"Babe, they're never going to accept us if we continue to hide it. If we act like we're ashamed of being together, how are they ever going to think any differently?"
He had a point. She knew that but she still couldn't move. "Just how busy is the bar anyway?" she asked him, unable to look for herself.
His eyes flickered to the area behind her, "Not that busy," he said but she was sure it was a lie.
"Liar..." she whispered, a smile on her face.
"We're not completely on our own, babe." He said.
"We're not?"
He shook his head, "Alice is okay with it. She says that if we're happy then it isn't wrong and she's happy for us."
"She is?" She couldn't help the tears that flooded her eyes.
Joey couldn't take it any longer, he needed to do something. "I came here to rescue you." He said, his arm wrapping around her waist and using his upper body strength, he pulled her towards him. The sound in the bar rose fractionally just to fall to a quieter hum seconds later.
"Who do I need rescuing from?" she asked as she rolled her eyes.
"Yourself." He said. Focusing his eyes entirely on just her, his hand reached for her face, pushing her hair behind her ear. He saw her eyes close but when his finger ran softly down her cheek they opened again and he saw tears pooling in them. "Please don't cry, babe..." he whispered to her.
"I'm sorry." She breathed.
"Do you have any idea how much I want to kiss you now?" he said, aware that most of the patrons of the bar could probable hear every word he was saying to her and not really caring. Lauren shook her head, the tears running freely now.
"We can't Joe."
"Why not? There's nothing wrong with this, is there? You believe that, right?" She bit her lip and for a second he was worried she was going to disagree but eventually she nodded. "Me and you are together forever, babe. You just need to remember that." His hand pulled her head forward and before she put up a reasonable protest his lips were on hers. Both his hands cupped her face and for a second it was easy to forget the onlookers and just get lost in the moment with her gorgeous boyfriend.
"Guys, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to stop. This is a family pub." It was Alfie who interrupted them and Lauren sagged against Joey, embarrassment overwhelming her. This emotion was quickly overwritten by anger and she turned to the pub landlord.
"Are you barring us from being here, Alfie?" She asked, fire in her eyes as she stared him down.
"Well no."
Lauren's eyes scanned the bar, seeing some of her friends sitting across the room, watching them. Once more she realised how much she'd over-estimated the way her friends valued her friendship. She'd been there for all of them over the time she'd known them. She'd never judged any of them for things they'd done but they were all too quick to jump on the band wagon as it rolled on by. "So, I guess that means there's going to be a public embargo on any displays of affection for all your customers, right? And the staff as well, of course."
"Yeah, I thought not." Lauren said bitterly. She lifted her glass and downed the rest of her drink before turning to Joey and seeing the admiration on his face. She grabbed his hand in hers and got to her feet. The large quantity of vodka chose that moment to kick in and detracted slightly from the stand she'd just taken. Joey's hand pressed against her back, steadying her and offering her comfort and support all with one touch as he got to his feet beside her. Standing tall, with her head held high, Lauren turned her head slowly to look at all the occupants of the room before coming back to rest on Alfie, "Let's go, Joe. Maybe we'll find somewhere where we won't be ostracised by all our friends and family." Tears fell down her face once more. "It's doesn't say much about a place when two people who love each but just have the misfortune to be members of the same family are treated like the local pariahs. You'd think we were criminals or something." She looked at Joey, a soft smile on her face as she stared into his eyes, "I'm ready for you to rescue me now..." she whispered to him.
He smiled broadly at her and then lifted her into his arms, knowing there was little chance of her being able to walk out of the pub with any dignity. He kissed her gently on the forehead, "Every time, babe." He told her softly then carried her out into the square.
So what do you think? I'm actually quite glad that Lauren stood up for herself but I had to let Joey swoop in like a knight in shining armour. I'd have been a much happier girl if this had been what I'd seen tonight...

Kim Kardashian Is Still Platinum Blonde, Sexier Than Ever — Pic
Kim caught up with old friends on March 23, and as gorgeous as she looked on Instagram, we were still focused on her stunning, platinum locks!
Kim Kardashian, 34, continues to rock the platinum blonde makeover she debuted in Paris on March 5. At first we weren't sold on the look, but now, it's definitely growing on us!
Kim Kardashian Changing Hair? — Still Rocking Platinum Blonde 'Do
Kim looked gorgeous with her blonde hair styled in a center part and in boho waves with straight ends in the Instagram photo she captioned "Weekend vibes!"
She caught up with a girlfriend from high school and a childhood guy friend — we are so happy she's making time for old friends! It looks like they had a lot of fun.
Kim's makeup was natural, with emphasis on her long, dark lashes. She also wore a light pink lip. Her face was slightly contoured and her skin was absolutely glowing!
Mario Dedivanovic did her makeup and said on Instagram that her lip color is Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Baby Pink — get it for only $20!
Kim Kardashian's Hair Makeover
Kim first dyed her hair blonde on March 5 for Paris Fashion Week. Since the look is so different from her natural hair, Kim has already had to maintain her roots a few times in just a few weeks! She posted a sink pic while still in Paris, and then shared another touch up in Los Angeles on March 18.
Her makeup artist Mario tagged Kim as a brunette in a March 17 photo, but we think it was just a wig for a photo shoot.
If you have dyed hair like Kim, be sure you are using a color-safe shampoo like our John Frieda pick to the right!
Are you happy Kim is sticking with her blonde?

Kaakie heightens Beef With MzVee, Fires Shots at E.L in new song
Just as promised by JMJ, CEO of Xtra Large music, female Ghanaian dancehall artist with Xtra large Music, Kaakie has released a new diss track directed at fellow Dancehall artist Kaakie and Rapper EL.
In the song titled "Time Up" which was released a few hours ago, Kaakie threw epic shots at EL for his strive to help Mzvee in supposedly dissing her in "Make I shine". She also endorsed BET Award-winning rapper, Sarkodie over E.L as the best rapper.
- LISTEN: MzVee- Make I Shine ft E.L
Kaakie described MzVee as "pompous" who is "too skinny" and advised her to "go get something to eat."
She made it clear that MzVee is a new comer who is too young in the music scene to be her competitor.
"You struggle to be seen. I get that easily. If you're ready, we're ready for this. Tell'em say we set the trend for this. You're holding a lantern and seeking to shine? If you want the real anointing, go down on your knees, come see JMJ [to] bless the shine," Kaakie sings.
Interestingly, MzVee was not the only one who received the punches. Rapper E.L who was featured on "Make I Shine" wasn't spared either. Kaakie describes him as "Mummy's boy" and added that when it comes to rap, "the king be Sarkcess (Sarkodie)."
Last week, MzVee revealed in an interview with Sky FM's Ike Frimpong that she is ready to collaborate with Kaakie when the opportunity comes, a decision she may reconsider after listening to this song.

Hi all, good to post here. I am Caedus (stars wars fan give away i know). I've just left university and looking to start walking the path of life. Didn't quite finish uni so having tougher time I'd have liked.
My interest in wearing diapers/nappies started back when i was a teen but it was confined to just reading stories and finding art while living at home. I've never really understood why i liked them. At uni i had the privacy of being away from home to finally try. I'm certainly a diaper lover as i understand it i guess. I never did it too regularly due to being paranoid of getting caught or judged, the shame would feel overwhelming at times while wearing. Still it was some of my best experiences just to sit in them, something that has stopped since leaving uni due to privacy being an issue.
As for my interests outside diapers, i have plenty. I am huge video game fan, very into mass effect and the elder scrolls for any who have played. Halo, fallout and gears of war are also all on the list. Recently i've started playing the old republic though i'm not very good. I'm into films, star wars and most sci-fi interests me, still a fan of anime since my youth. I enjoy reading too, sci fi books being a primary interest but not exclusively. Sorry that this section isn't that extensive, so very new to using online forums.
Why am i here? I dunno, i have an interest in diapers that i think about way too much i guess. I don't know enough to know if it is healthy or not or how i developed it. I've never told anyone in real life and i doubt i ever will. I just needed to say it somewhere to someone that can give me a response. I'm here i suppose because i want a place where i'm not alone, an outsider with a secret to be concealed.
lastly i apologise for the walls of text, i thank anyone who reads this and good work to the people who created this site.

We must perceive it and value it. ' ' Today, tourism is a cultural experience that it seduces for the diversity, main landmark of the tourist product, and that it generates the displacement of turistas' ' , Bayard and Maurcio (2002, p.107). In accordance with Montejano (2001, p.25), cultural tourism is ' ' set of activities that if develop with the purpose to facilitate for the visiting tourist/some knowledge and to extend its culture, from a perspective of free time and of the civilization of lazer' '. In this manner, it is possible to notice the great importance of the culture, mainly in the tourist aspect and also in the social aspect, therefore the culture offers an essential paper in the society. Perez (2005, p.2) affirms that ' ' the cultural patrimony contributes with the formatting of tourist destinations with proper identity, endowing them with character differentiated in compliance with the singular objectives and authenticity searched for demanda' '.
For the tourism, the cultural preservation is very important, therefore the tourist activity is used of the value of the different cultural aspects observed in diverse places, being necessary one politics of preservation of the cultural patrimony. The museums, for if dealing with spaces that propitiate leisure and culture as form of entertainment knowledge to its visitors, is necessary that it has the preservation of the cultural goods and this can benefit the economic exploration of the tourist activity and the cultural patrimony through the culture tourism. Attempting against for the growth of the tourist activity, many museums had started to invest in the qualification and professionalization, as well as in the planning to stimulate the increase of the flow of visitors. Aburdene and Naisbitt (2000, p.56), affirm that: ' ' The public of today is eager for quality, and the museum can provide it. The visited monument more in the world is not, nor the Eiffel Tower, nor the Taj Mahal, but the Center Geoges Pompidou, with eight million visitors per year.

Cold desert climates can feature hot (sometimes exceptionally hot) and dry summers, though summers typically are not quite as hot as summers in hot desert climates. Unlike hot desert climates, cold desert climates usually feature cold, sometimes brutally cold, dry winters with temperatures far below the freezing point. Cold desert climates are typically found at higher altitudes than hot desert climates, and are usually drier than hot desert climates.
A cold desert climate is typically found in temperate zones, almost always in the rain shadow of high mountains which restrict precipitation from the westerly winds, or in the case of Central Asia, from the monsoon. The Gobi desert in Mongolia is a classic example of a region with a cold desert climate. Though hot in summer, it shares the very cold winters of the rest of Central Asia. The Kyzyl Kum and Taklamakan deserts of Central Asia and the drier portions of the Great Basin Desert of the western United States are other major examples of BWk climates. The Ladakh region, lying in the Great Himalayas in India also has a cold desert climate.

Below is a list of countries in which there is an area with this climate:

An atypical topic for me, but there's some wisdom in here about a common subconscious motivation for distorting reality. I have already blogged about such motivations for ignoring data that contradicts what we want to believe, or for distorting data to support what we want others to believe. This example is about imagining data that supports what we want to believe even when such data, inconveniently, fails to exist.
Such narratives give us a sense that the uncontrollable might be controlled. And to maintain them, we simply ignore cases that don't fit them, such as a rash of violence in the months after Sandy Hook committed by elderly men with no discernible connection to violent media. This allows us to maintain an illusion of correlation where none exists.

Music — this thing that is as much part of our life as it shapes it. Whether we're going through the perks of early mornings or in search of the perfect catalyst to get a party started, we all have a mental playlist for specific memories and moments. Since here at Subbacultcha music is essential to our existence, we decided that from now on, every month, we'll ask an artist to take some time to reflect on moments in life and the music that completed them. This month we're asking Steffi Sturm aka UNOS, mobile developer, UI/UX designer and one of the artists playing at this year's Different Class.
This song gives me life when I feel stuck. It's gentle yet powerful which makes it one of my go-to songs in my first-aid music kit.
If I want to be in my zone while I do programming or designing, instrumental tunes work best for me. Lately I've been listening to this on repeat in the office. Giorgio Oehlers recently released his EP on the same label (Darker Than Wax) as I am. He's definitely worth checking out.
After a long day this is the perfect song for winding down as it always makes me feel at home.
This is one is of of those tunes that just hits the sweet spot on a night out. High energy and soulful simultaneously.
UNOS plays Different Class at 019 in Ghent on 26 August. The festival is free for members. Join here.

Wealth Management News
Only 7% Of UK Workers Will Meet Their Retirement Goals
Pensions adviser Aegon has stated that the majority of UK workers are still failing to prepare for their retirement, with only 7% looking set to fulfil their retirement plans, The Actuary reports.
According to the organisation´s UK Readiness Report, which questioned a sample of 4,000 UK adults about their thoughts on retirement, the majority (62%) were unsure if they would be able to retire when they wished to.
A further 55% of those surveyed confessed to not keeping an eye on their pension funds, while some 40% were unaware of how much money they were putting into their pension pot.
More than half (59%) had no idea what their employer was contributing to their pension savings, while a similar amount (50%) were unaware of how much they had already saved into their company pension. Over a third (35%) did not know if they were eligible for auto-enrolment.
There was also a discrepancy between how much money people expected to live on during their retirement, and their actual savings. The average survey respondent wished to retire at the age of 63 and live on £42,000 each year – requiring a pension pot larger than £1 million. However, the new pension lifetime allowance is capped at £1 million for 2016.
Commenting on the findings, David Beattie – Ageon´s managing director – expressed his concern that workers were "still failing to prepare" for their retirement, calling the figures "deeply worrying."
While the recent pension reforms have focused "primarily on giving those approaching retirement more control of their savings," he explains, "it is time for a shift in emphasis from both government and industry."
The focus now, he argues, should be on providing savers with the help and information that they need to prepare for their desired retirement.

Being a Telnet Client
You want to connect to a telnet service or use telnet to get low-level access to some other kind of server.
Use the Net::Telnet module in the Ruby standard library.
The following code uses a Telnet object to simulate an HTTP client. It sends a raw HTTP request to the web server at http://www.oreilly.com. Every chunk of data received from the web server is passed into a code block, and its size is added to a tally. Eventually the web server stops sending data, and the telnet session times out.
require 'net/telnet' webserver = Net::Telnet::new('Host' => 'www.oreilly.com', 'Port' => 80, 'Telnetmode' => false) size = 0 webserver.cmd("GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.oreilly.com\n") do |c| size += c.size puts "Read #{c.size} bytes; total #{size}" end # Read 1431 bytes; total 1431 # Read 1434 bytes; total 2865 # Read 1441 bytes; total 4306 # Read 1436 bytes; total 5742 # … # Read 1430 bytes; total 39901 # Read 2856 bytes; total 42757 # /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:551:in 'waitfor': # timed out while waiting for more data (Timeout::Error)
Telnet is a lightweight protocol devised for connecting to a generic service running on another computer. For a long time, the most commonly exposed service was a Unix shell: you would "telnet in" to a machine on the network, log in, and run shell commands on the other machine as though it were local.
Because telnet is an insecure protocol, it's very rare now to use it for remote login. Everyone uses SSH for that instead (see the next recipe). Telnet is still useful for two things:
Telnet objects implement a simple loop between you and some TCP server:
In this example, I script a Telnet object to log me in to a telnet-accessible BBS. I wait for the BBS to send me strings that match certain prompts ("What is your name?" and "password:"), and I send back strings of my own in response to the prompts.
require 'net/telnet' bbs = Net::Telnet::new('Host' => 'bbs.example.com') puts bbs.waitfor(/What is your name\?/) # The Retro Telnet BBS # Where it's been 1986 since 1993. # Dr. Phineas Goodbody, proprietor # # What is your name? (NEW for new user) bbs.cmd('String'=>'leonardr', 'Match'=>/password:/) { |c| puts c } # Hello, leonardr. Please enter your password: bbs.cmd('my_password') { |c| puts c } # Welcome to the Retro Telnet BBS, leonardr. # Choose from the menu below: # …
The problem with this code is the "prompt" concept was designed for use with remote shells. A Unix shell shows you a prompt after every command you run. The prompt always ends in a dollar sign or some other character: it's easy for telnet to pick out a shell prompt in the data stream. But no one uses telnet for remote shells anymore, so this is not very useful. The BBS software defines a different prompt for every interaction: one prompt for the name and a different one for the password. The web page grabber in the Solution doesn't define a prompt at all, because there's no such thing in HTTP. For the type of problem we still solve with telnet, prompts are a pain.
What's the alternative? Instead of having cmd wait for a prompt, you can just have it wait for the server to go silent. Here's an implementation of the web page grabber from the Solution, which stops reading from the server if it ever goes more than a tenth of a second without receiving any data:
require 'net/telnet' webserver = Net::Telnet::new('Host' => 'www.oreilly.com', 'Port' => 80, 'Waittime' => 0.1, 'Prompt' => /.*/, 'Telnetmode' => false) size = 0 webserver.cmd("GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.oreilly.com\n") do |c| size += c.size puts "Read #{c.size} bytes; total #{size}" end
Here, the prompt matches any string at all. The end of every data chunk is potentially the "prompt" for the next command! But Telnet only acts on this if the server sends no more data in the next tenth of a second.
When you have Telnet communicate with a server this way, you never know for sure if you really got all the data. It's possible that the server just got really slow all of a sudden. If that happens, you may lose data or it may end up read by your next call to cmd. The best you can do is try to make your Waittime large enough so that this doesn't happen.
In this example, I use Telnet to script a bit of a text adventure game that's been made available over the net. This example uses the same trick (a Prompt that matches anything) as the previous one, but I've bumped up the Waittime because this server is slower than the oreilly.com web server:
require 'net/telnet' adventure = Net::Telnet::new('Host' => 'games.example.com', 'Port' => 23266, 'Waittime' => 2.0, 'Prompt' => /.*/) commands = ['no', 'enter building', 'get lamp'] # And so on… commands.each do |command| adventure.cmd(command) { |c| print c } end # Welcome to Adventure!! Would you like instructions? # no # # You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. # Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and # down a gully. # enter building # # You are inside a building, a well house for a large spring. # There are some keys on the ground here. # There is a shiny brass lamp nearby. # There is food here. # There is a bottle of water here. # # get lamp # OK

I haven't updated forever. I've thought about it a lot, attempted a couple of times, haven't done it. So here's the quick version of the last two months.
September (Birthday Month #26!)
-Spent Labor Day weekend at a cabin in Oakley with Jeremy's family. Slept out under the stars with the squirrels (or chipmunks?) and tested out our new cots (awesome).
-MeKelle's wedding in Park City. Congrats Kelle. And you looked B-E-A-utiful.
-California trip. Turned 26 while on a midnight run on the beach with Nick. Couldn't think of a more perfect way to get older. Spent my birthday day at the gym, boogie boarding, playing at the beach, eating lots of greasy food, shopping, went to the Asher Roth/Taking Back Sunday/Weezer/Blink 182 concert in Irvine (thanks for the birthday concert Nick!), met up with Brandon for a late dinner in Newport afterward. Drove home with Nick the next day (peace out USMC!), stopped at the Nevada border to ride the huge rollercoaster at Buffalo Bill's, and had to do a buffet stop in Mesquite. Great trip.
-Lots of birthday breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with the best friends ever.
-Jungle Fever birthday party!
-Trip to Austin to spend some time with Jennifer (who I need to see much more often) and Houston to see Brooke and Brad! Jeremy took a test for school there and I got to play with Brooke (who I still miss ever day!) and enjoy time in my birthstate. We ran the Race for the Cure and running at a lower altitude makes me feel like the best athlete ever (which is far from true).
-Worked. A lot.
-Mississippi! Took a last minute surprise trip to Mississippi with my mom, Chrissi and little Ali so the baby could meet all her southern cousins before Chrissi went back to work. Spent time with family I haven't seen in 12 1/2 years and loved it. Lots of driving from Memphis, across the whole state of Mississippi, and back. Great girls' trip, and Ali was a good little traveler.
-Shooting. I hate guns. Always have. Jeremy even bought some dummy bullets so I could learn to load his gun and get comfortable with it, which I refused to do. But on Halloween morning I went shooting with Jer and 3 of his friends and actually really liked it. Still don't want to be around guns in a confined space, but loved shooting them out in the middle of nowhere.
-A little college football and tailgating. Go Utes!
-Ali's blessing.
-Happy Birthday Daddy! Still looking hot at 61!
-Happy Anniversary to the raddest parents ever! I think it's 29 years. Still the best Barbie and Ken ever.
-Thanksgiving! Jeremy and I had a double-header and hit both family dinners. Lots of turkey and good food, lots of quality family time, lots to be thankful for.
My list of things I am thankful for is huge, so here is an edited version.
~Jeremy, who I love more than he knows, for being the best addition to my life, for taking care of me, for making me laugh every day, for giving me so much to look forward to.
~My awesome family, for being an amazing support system, putting up with me, loving me no matter what, for being my friends.
~The best friends in the world, all of them, who I am lucky to have and have loved spending time with a lot of you the last couple weeks.
~Jer's family, for making me feel like family from day one, for letting me take a lot of Jeremy's time away from you, and for everything you do for me.
~A job I love, a place to live, a car that runs (most of the time), warm showers, boots, space heaters, candy, my day planner, sunshine, hot chocolate.

Is the 2016 Stock Market Correction Over? Maybe
A market is officially in a correction when stocks fall more than 10 percent below a recent high. The major indices have been in a correction for several weeks, but things finally improved as we reached the end of February.
However, is the stock market correction over? Officially, things have improved in two of the indices, but not enough to be confident that they will not slip back.
Dow Jones Industrial Averages:
End of 2015: 17,425.03
Feb. 26, 2016: 16,639.97 -785.06 (-4.51 percent change this year)
52 Week High: 18,351.40 (-1,711.43 which is -9.33 percent below 52 week high)
End of 2015: 2,043.94
Feb. 26, 2016: 1,948.05 -95.89 (-4.69 percent change this year)
52 Week High: 2,134.72 (-186.67 which is -8.74 percent below 52 week high)
End of 2015: 5,007.41
Feb. 26, 2016: 4,590.47 -416.94 (-8.33 percent change this year)
52 Week High: 5,231.94 (-641.47 which is -12.26 percent below 52 week high)
Do Analysts Predict an Extended 2016 Stock Market Correction?
As investors can see from the above numbers, after the past two weeks of improving stock prices, only the Nasdaq is still in an official correction because it remains 12.26 percent below its 52 week high. The Dow remains close to correction levels, hovering at 9.33 percent below its 52 week high. The S&P 500 is currently the strongest of the three major indices at only 8.74 percent below its 52 week high.
Despite the rebound in equity prices, according to a Bank of America report which was released in mid-February, the odds of a U.S. recession during the next year is about 25 percent.
What Issues Could Affect a 2016 Stock Market Correction?
- Investors will be closely monitoring the price of crude oil. When it drops below $30 a barrel, the stock market tends to crash, too, especially the energy sector. As of Feb. 26, 2016, however, West Texas Intermediate crude closed at $32.78 a barrel, although that was a small decline from the day before.
- Investors will be watching for signals from the Federal Reserve about when they might raise interest rates again. The Fed is hopeful that we will see 2 percent inflation later this year, which is their goal. If the Fed is right about their projections, the stock market will turn around. If investors believe the Fed is wrong, equities will fall. However, despite some improvement in the rate of inflation, we have not reached that goal, yet:
Economic Report: U.S. inflation rate in past 12 months doubles to 1.3% in January https://t.co/dfMazHbF2o
— MarketWatch Economy (@MKTWeconomics) February 26, 2016
- According to a forecast by Kiplinger at the end of January, "We expect that moderate growth and uncertainties overseas will hold the Fed to two rate hikes this year instead of four: One at its June 15 meeting, and the second likely in December." However, on Friday, Feb. 26, the Fed said that recent signs of tightening in the economy are the equivalent of what would have happened if they had already raised interest rates three times:
The Fed: Market forces hitting U.S. equivalent to three rate hikes, Fed's Brainard says https://t.co/lBYYxfBkG6
— MarketWatch Economy (@MKTWeconomics) February 26, 2016
- Another area that will affect the stock market is job creation and the unemployment rate. Employers added 151,000 jobs last month and unemployment dipped to 4.9 percent, even though more people re-joined the job market. In addition, hourly wages rose 0.5 percent. Many analysts believe these reports show strength in the economy.
- Consumer sentiment is another issue that analysts are watching. Recently, that indicator seems to have slipped.
Economic Report: Consumer sentiment was at three-month low in February https://t.co/TyiWJCqWH7
— MarketWatch Economy (@MKTWeconomics) February 26, 2016
- The trade gap in the U.S. has continued to widen, which is a sign that many U.S. businesses are struggling to sell their goods overseas:

At eBay On Location: Celebrating our 5th Year!
By: J.D. Norton
We always look forward to eBay On Location as a great chance to get out there and catch up with eBay Sellers and Green Team members. However, eOL in Denver this spring was a little less business and more just pure celebration as we come up on our Green Team five-year anniversary in September. Ok, we admit we started celebrating early (can you blame us?), but we wanted to make sure we included all the sellers who have been active, supportive forces in making eBay buying and selling as green as can be.
To show our appreciation, we threw a party in our booth with cupcakes from a local, organic bakery and invited people to come in, grab some sugar, and celebrate with us! Needless to say, we had quite a few takers.
One of the highlights was when we caught up with long-time supporter Bubblefast who had exciting news to report on their latest eco product offering. Many eBay sellers use polymailers for clothing and soft items that are not recyclable and rarely reusable. Bubblefast is now offering biodegradable poly mailers made from recycled materials as an amazing green alternative. Keep your eye out for them on your next eBay order – we think they'll catch on quickly.
The fun isn't over yet – we'll continue the party in September at eBay On Location in Philadelphia. We can't promise more cupcakes, but we'll definitely be celebrating with something yummy!

Always Available When You Need Me
Call us to speak with our experienced Attorney and get the advice you need.
It is important to know what options are available to you before you move forward.
Call today or fill out this easy online form to have an attorney review your DUI case.
Yes, in my opinion you
always request a Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) Hearing - even
if it looks like the hearing will be unsuccessful. It is worth the $375.00.
It is important to remember that this is a "Civil" administrative
hearing and the standard of proof is
preponderance of the evidence. (alittle over 50%)
However, in the worst case, you get a free deposition under oath. If I
think there are no good legal issues - I will always subpoena the officers.
I then proceed to use the hearing to find out
everything about my client's case while it is
fresh in the officer's memory and pin down his/her testimony. I then have
the hearing transcribed and can use it later in Court - if there are discrepancies
with the officer's testimony. In alot of jurisdictions, charges haven't
even been filed by the time of the DOL Hearing. See also the 20-day rule
in previous post.

King Kotini is taking a break from music and we are sad about it.
Award-winning hip-hop star Riky Rick is taking a break from music. He announced his decision to leave music almost a week ago, saying he is taking time off to find his faith. Riky realized an EP Stay Shining towards the end of 2017, and it was pretty dope.
'Friends and fam, I apologize sincerely to everybody who will be affected but I am not in the right place mentally to continue doing shows or anything that involves leaving my children. I am taking time to find my faith before I lose the connection with the people I love the most,' he said in his announcement on Twitter.
The Sidlukotini hitmaker stays in Johannesburg with his wife Bianca and their two kids Jordan and Maik.
'Being a 'celebrity' its difficult to tell people I ain't feeling well. It is difficult to take time away because people expect you to be superhuman. I am not superhuman. I'm just another human being who wants to find some sort of peace and happiness in life. I'm sorry,' he added in his announcement.
The news came as a shock to us and we were left in our feels, but a man gotta do, what he has to.
While we get used to King Kotini being off the circuit, for now, we have put together a playlist of five of our favorite songs from him that remind us of just dope he is.
Listen to the tracks below;

The Utopian View of Technology in Africa
Last week, I happened to be at a forum where the Zimbabwean Minister of Science and Technology Development, Hon. Olivia Muchena was speaking. Her topic incidentally was about "ICT Research Innovation in Zimbabwe and Opportunities for Cooperation with the EU", and it was very interesting to listen to her talk of the achievements of her government in enhancing and creating enough 'digital opportunities'. Like giving a report card of her government's achievement in taking the computing power to the people, she showed, even with pictures and jokes how there is so much progress in Zimbabwe in regards to digital revolotion despite the "negative balance of payment", neglect from the developed world and the situation that everyone knows of. One of the jokes was a paraphrased one about how the Zimbabwean scientists discovered that 5000 years their ancestors were using wireless technology to communicate. Although it is true (since in the olden days, we (read Africans) used drums, screaming, ululations, smoke as a means of communication which is wireless in nature), this kind of wireless communication is not what we need in the 21st century.
It is during her presentation that I got thinking of how technology (more so the digital technology) has been touted as utopian (techno-utopian). Presenting creative solutions to all the problems that we are facing currently and with the potential to revolutionalise every human aspect. In it, there is an ideal (and imaginary) vision of a world without pain, suffering and death. Even though the idealistic view of utopia may never be realised, there is power within the communities that have been failed by the sytems and structures (political, economic, social or otherwise) create alternative systems.
With the tough choices we are presented with in Africa – limited infrastructure, limited human capacity, lack of finances, and even lack of political will, the power of the community in Africa to develop is still there. We still have the power to revolutionalise, as Africans the way we live, and how we can use the resources at out disposal for an improved life. However the great question still lingers: where do we start?

Those who are studying the book of Exodus often begin skimming the chapters following the presentation of the Ten Commandments. The familiar action of the book is over and the typical Sunday school stories are past. Those who skip over the details of the tabernacle are really missing out.
While some find the details of the tabernacle to be tedious, every detail is important. God is the architect and there is nothing random about the details of the tabernacle and its furnishings. Instead, every detail points to an aspect of Christ, His life, or the process of salvation. Every day that the priests entered the tabernacle they saw incredible pictures of Jesus and every sacrifice that they presented pointed toward Jesus' once for all sacrifice.

More about Build Connections
What's the science?
Developed by Professor Chris Hulleman, Build Connections is grounded in a decade of research on utility value. Multiple studies have found that when students see value in a school subject, they earn higher grades in those courses, choose to take more classes in the subject, and score better on standardized tests. In the long term, activities that help students see relevance in school content make them more likely to major in those subjects in college and pursue related careers.
About the researchers
Chris Hulleman is principal investigator of the Motivate Lab and associate research professor at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. His research explores how motivation and mindsets impact human development and growth, particularly in education. He received his PhD in experimental social and personality psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2007 and his BA from Central College. Prior to his career in psychology, he spent six years as teacher and coach in Iowa.
Teresa Hulleman spent six years as an educator before becoming a full-time parent to her five children. She has spent the last five years as a part-time editor and reviewer of educational research. For Build Connections, she helped translate the research so that teachers could apply the core components with fidelity in the classroom.

The defendant's own words are some of the best evidence that she was "up to her eyeballs" in a bizarre plot that ended in the death of a pizza deliveryman after he robbed a bank with a bomb strapped to his neck, a federal prosecutor told jurors in his closing argument Thursday.
Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, 61, of Erie, testified in her own defense over the better part of two days, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Marshall Piccinini referred jurors to statements she allegedly made to federal investigators and fellow inmates in the months and years after the Aug. 28, 2003, bank heist.
"This woman was involved in this plot. She was involved in it up to her eyeballs," Piccinini said. "The things that she told people over the years prove that beyond a reasonable doubt."
Defense attorney Douglas Sughrue disputes that, saying Diehl-Armstrong's spoke about things she learned through media accounts or her attorney at the time.
But he also wanted the jury to view her with empathy, despite the grisly allegations and the bipolar and narcissistic personality disorders that he said are behind her loud outbursts and regular profanity during the nine-day trial.
"Your job's not to like her or invite her over for dinner or have a birthday party for her," Sughrue said. "Did they prove a conspiracy exists? Yeah, maybe. But did they prove that Marjorie is a part of it?"
Diehl-Armstrong is charged with armed bank robbery and other crimes for her alleged role in planning the heist and faces life in prison if convicted of all counts. She is already in state prison for killing her boyfriend, allegedly because he knew about the plot.
The pizza driver, Brian Wells, robbed a bank with a bomb locked onto his neck. He was stopped by police nearby and was sitting on the ground in handcuffs when the bomb went off, killing him, as officers waited for a bomb squad to arrive.
Prosecutors say Wells, 46, was in on the plot, at least at first, and was forced to put on the bomb collar after first being led to believe it would be a fake.
After the closing arguments, U.S. District Judge Sean McLaughlin instructed the jury in the law. They were expected to return for deliberations on Friday.
Sughrue and Diehl-Armstrong said she was friends with two of the plotters, but wasn't in on their plan. On the stand, she adamantly denied knowing Wells.
But Piccinini said statements she gave to federal agents and some fellow inmates show otherwise.
Diehl-Armstrong has been incarcerated since her arrest in fall 2003 for the Aug. 10, 2003, shotgun slaying of her live-in boyfriend, James Roden, 45. She was sentenced to seven to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty but mentally ill to murdering him.
Piccinini contends Roden was in on the collar bomb plot and was killed for threatening to reveal it, but Armstrong testified she killed Roden because he was abusive and because he didn't work hard enough to help her find the people responsible for stealing money from her in a home invasion several months before the bank robbery.
Sughrue scoffed at the prosecution's claim that Roden might have been asked to be the collar bomb getaway driver, saying he was too closely linked to the defendant for that to make sense.
"Jim's the getaway driver? They're joined at the hip. Why use him? It would implicate her" if Roden got caught, Sughrue said.
Another key to her defense relates to the government's star witness: Kenneth Barnes, 57, who is serving 45 years in prison for pleading guilty in the collar bomb case.
Diehl-Armstrong said she believed that Barnes had helped set her up to be robbed in May 2003. She claims she was so angry at Barnes for that break-in that she wasn't associating with him anymore, let alone plotting a bank robbery with him.
But Piccinini detailed statements Diehl-Armstrong made to investigators and fellow inmates tying her to several aspects of the collar bomb plot.
Among other things, the prosecutor said the evidence shows she solicited Barnes' involvement, because she wanted to use the bank robbery money to pay him to kill her father; accompanied Barnes as a lookout, watching Wells rob the bank through binoculars; and even fit the metal collar on Wells' neck in a meeting the day before the robbery.
Piccinini said she also told federal agents that she provided two kitchen egg timers that another plotter, William Rothstein, used to make the bomb collar. Rothstein has since died of cancer.
She also acknowledged to federal agents that Roden's death was linked to the collar bomb case but stopped short of explaining that and other details, saying she wanted immunity first, Piccinini said.
Sughrue suggested Rothstein was the brains behind the bank robbery, manipulated everyone _ law enforcement and the other plotters _ and hung Diehl-Armstrong out to dry when he called police in September 2003 to tell them he had Roden's body in a freezer in his garage.
"My client's reason for killing Jim Roden isn't normal, it isn't rational _ but normal isn't Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong," Sughrue said. "If the shooting is done consistent with the conspiracy theory of the government it would have been well-planned ... (and Roden's body) wouldn't have ended up in a garage, wouldn't have ended up in a freezer."

An Elegant Affair - Katrina & Scott Wed at Tangaratta Vineyard
I met Katrina & Scott last year when I had the pleasure of shooting Katrina's sisters wedding. As you can imagine, when Katrina & Scott contacted me and told me they wanted me to photograph their wedding also I was delighted!! There is no boost to the confidence like booking a wedding off a previous one. It is a great feeling, the best compliment you can receive as a photographer.
I am a huge lover of destination weddings. To me, a destination wedding, is anything out of my normal work zone (Sydney & the Central Coast). When they told me the wedding was to be held at a gorgeous little vineyard in the countryside out near Tamworth (their home town) I got excited! I thought, this is going to be one of my favourite kinds of weddings - and it truly was!!! From start to finish it was a stunningly beautiful affair. From the vast blue skies to the chandeliers in the reception venue the day was, as I am sure you will no doubt agree, picture perfect.
Katrina is a naturally beautiful & elegant person. As I had photographed her before I 'thought' I knew how beautiful she was, but as a bride she was simply stunning!! I am sure 'breathtaking' is a more appropriate word for Scotty when he first saw her smiling, and walking up the aisle to him.
Katrina & Scotty - Thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of photographing your wedding day! It was a true pleasure to be invited back into your lives, especially on such a momentous occasion. Something else that is truly beautiful about having photographed your wedding day after having met you at your sisters, is seeing so many familiar faces and being welcomed back like a long lost friend. It is a truly rewarding experience to feel such a connection with those around you - so Thank you. To you, and all of your friends and family.
Venue: Tangaratta Vineyard, Tamworth

THE only traffic lights to be found on a maximum speed limit trunk road between Carmarthen and Glasgow are causing too many crashes, campaigners have warned.
Pressure is mounting on the Welsh Assembly Government to impose a speed limit at one of the most notorious accident blackspots in Wales.
Scores of accidents and near-misses have happened at the junction of the dual carriageway A40 and the A466, which links the two halves of Monmouth.
Heading north from Newport, the road is of motorway standard until it runs into the traffic lights, and then it has frequent little turn-offs until it resumes motorway standards eight miles further north.
Members of Monmouth Town Council have decided that enough is enough and are pressing the Assembly for a speed limit to be imposed along the offending stretch of the A40 through the middle of the town. The Assembly has told them the road does not meet the criteria for a 50mph limit.
The campaigners have the backing of Monmouthshire's Conservative AM, David Davies, who said he had repeatedly highlighted the dangers since being elected four years ago.
As a former Assembly transport spokesman and having worked for a haulage company, Mr Davies said he had long been aware of the problems at the Monmouth lights.
"There have been a lot of near-misses but there have also been deaths," he said.
"I don't think we have got any further forward, although the whole of that stretch of dual carriageway has been described as one of the most dangerous in Britain.
"When you come through the Gibraltar tunnels, heading north, you have a set of traffic lights and a left-hand turn without any speed limit imposed on approaching traffic.
"Traffic tends to speed up on leaving the northbound tunnel before having to brake sharply at the lights. Drivers of heavy lorries try to avoid braking and either overshoot the lights or go into the back of the car in front."
Mr Davies said the dual carriageway was almost as hazardous after the Dixton roundabout.
"As you leave the roundabout in a northbound direction, there are two left-hand turns, Leasebrook Lane towards Monmouth Golf Club, and Lon Lane," he explained.
"HGVs speed up on leaving the roundabout and there is a similar problem with traffic ahead trying to slow down for the left-hand turns. The whole thing is a mess."
Mr Davies said a 40mph speed limit would be unrealistic but a 50mph limit would help to save lives and could be imposed with the installation of speed cameras. He has also called for signs to be installed, warning drivers of traffic turning left ahead.
Similarly, signs could be placed at the southbound exit of the roundabout warning of the approach of left-hand junctions.
Mr Davies said 50mph limits were commonplace further north towards Ross-on-Wye, often far away from centres of population.
He added, "In Wales, it has been incredibly difficult to get ministers to bring speed limits in.
"There is a lot of bureaucracy involved and even when ministers agree with you, it takes a long time to get things moving."
