The Hearst Corporation started out as a single newspaper by William Randolf Hearst in 1887.[1]Since then, the Hearst Corporation has grown to become one of the biggest media and information companies in the world. [2] Hearst incorporated broadcasting into its company in 1928, when they purchased WSOE radio in Milwaukee. The station also became the groundwork of WISN-TV. In 1948, after acquiring various stations across markets, Hearst launched WBAL-TV in Baltimore, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, and WDSU-TV in New Orleans. These were some of the inaugural television stations in the nation. In 1953, Baltimore's WBAL-TV was one of the first television stations to transmit in color, as well as launching the famous children's show "Romper Room," [3] that ran from the early 1950s to the 1980s. Throughout the years, Hearst Broadcasting acquired more broadcasting stations across various markets. In 1981, WCVB-TV in Boston was declared "the best television station in America" by the New York Times. Hearst Broadcasting acquired Argyle Television Inc., which owned six stations at the time, for $320 million dollars,[4] forming Hearst-Argyle in 1997.[2]
Here is a clip from the popular children's TV show, Romper Room, as mentioned above. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq9-8ZxZ6_Y)
One of the Hearst-Argyle's stations, WISN-TV in Milwaukee, was the first station within its market to create their very own website, based off its weather segment.The website, which was started in 1997, offers snow closing information, around the clock. In that same year, KITV-TV in Honolulu was the first American digital commercially licensed TV station, which meant that they could provide digital high-definition television or HDTV, for short. Television Broadcast magazine named KITV "Broadcaster of the Year" in 1997. Later in 1999, New England's WCVB-TV station was the first stations, local and nationwide, to produce an high-definition (HD) TV episode. The TV episode was of its renowned public-affairs program "Chronicle." [2]That same year, the Hearst-Argyle company acquired the Pulitzer Publishing Co, which owned nine TV stations and five radio stations. They also bought the television properties to Kelly Broadcasting Co. out of Sacramento, California. By the end of the year 1999, Hearst-Argyle owned 26 TV stations, which reached about 17.5 percent of U.S. households, and they acquired seven radio stations. [2]
Hearst-Argyle became one of the first major station groups to release a policy about not airing R-rated movies during prime time television, which is also family viewing time. They announced this policy in 2000, which was a very busy year for the company. They also partnered with the Belo Corporation and LIN Television and launched Broadcast Sales Academy, in order to train future sales professionals and they later launched the Producer Academy in 2002, a training program for the companies' news producers. Hearst-Argyle had a joint venture with Gannett Broadcasting, the NBC station group and NBC Enterprises to develop and carry syndicated programs on their stations, reaching 60% of U.S. households. Hearst-Argyle was also the first large TV station group to commit at least 5 minutes of on-air time every night to focus on election coverage, starting 30 days leading up to the elections. This charge became the foundation of the company's "Commitment 2000" effort, which worked to provide comprehensive political-news coverage through the election cycles and this effort later earned them a consecutive number of Walter Cronkite Awards, awarded by the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication. In 2004, the former president and CEO, David J. Barrett is named by Broadcasting & Cable magazine as "Broadcaster of the Year." This year, every single Hearst-Argyle television station completed their transition into digital television broadcasting and some of them were the first to offer video on demand for local programming. [2]In 2006, Hearst-Argyle partnered with North Carolina A&T University or NCAT for short, to train journalism students and it was one of many internship/ training programs partnerships the company has.[2]
Hearst Corporation is #33 of Forbes List of America's Largest Private Companies and the company has produced over $10.3 billion in revenue. [5]

"My husband LOVES the photos (& so do I)."
"This was my first time doing anything like this and everyone made me feel so comfortable. They're all down-to-earth, compassionate women who keep it real. I LOVE that they shoot women of all body sizes and those who have disabilities. The experience was amazing, my husband LOVES the photos (and so do I). "
-Ms. T
"They made me feel/look like a freaking goddess."
"HOT DAMM! I cannot recommend Revealed Studios enough. The moment I stepped through the door they made me feel/look like a freaking goddess. They gave very subtle but helpful direction for my posing so I didn't look a drunk giraffe. I didn't feel awkward for even half a second because they were so supportive and professional."
-Ms. S
"This was just as much a gift for myself"
"Every woman — bride-to-be or not — should have this experience. I originally booked a photo session as a wedding gift for my husband, but during the shoot realized this was just as much a gift for myself. I usually hate having my picture taken, but Maggie and Kelly truly know how to make each woman look amazing."
-Ms. E
"They found the best parts of me and helped me shine."
""As someone who usually hates pictures of myself, I can't believe how good they turned out. I've struggled with body image my entire life, so this was way out of my norm. I did this as a gift for my husband for our one year anniversary. I think I gained more from this experience. It's empowering and you'll feel really proud of yourself after it's finished."
"I was absolutely floored by the results."
"I was SO nervous at first, but I'm happy to say that within minutes of us starting I felt comfortable. They made me feel so beautiful, sexy and amazing. I would highly recommend that every woman do this for their significant other…but most importantly, to do it for themselves (even if they have no significant other)!!"
"All my fears and inhibitions melted away within seconds"
"I've always been a little self-conscious of my body, and notice my flaws far quicker than most. The thought of being in my underwear in front of a stranger was bizarre and a little intimidating. All my fears and inhibitions melted away within seconds, and by the end of the day, I have never felt more beautiful."
Established in 2010, we have over eight years of experience showing more than 500 women in their best light. From the start, we set out to create a safe space for ALL women to embrace and express their unique beauty and sensuality. We treat clients like we would our best friends—with care and kindness.

A string ensemble and a choir perched in the second floor balcony provided a ceremony laced with beautiful music-- an important component to both the bride and groom.
The soft glow of candlelight filled the room as Megan entered on her father's arm, and John's smile stretched from ear to ear. One of my favorite shots is that of Megan "having a moment" before walking down the aisle.
There were religious readings, as well as beautiful reading from a weathered copy of Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms":
That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone, walking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away; all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others.
When the anticipated first kiss was over, Megan was glowing with married radiance, John proud to be her husband. I was able to sweep them away for some snuggly romantic shots together both indoors and out-- one of my favorites is under the mistletoe.
They danced and visited all evening in a room full of warmth despite the chilling wind outdoors. At the end of the evening, they made their way to the limo beneath a flurry of snow thrown by their guests.
Many thanks to Eventology Weddings for Megan & John's referral, and for helping to make the day run smoothly... and Joseph Kovacik of DJ Brothers. Our stunning bride was styled by Kristina of Jordan Temple Makeup.

When Dr. Cain Turner's life was literally blown apart in a small province of Afghanistan, it was only the hope and memories of one woman that propelled him forward. But there were more demons to face.
In the small country hamlet of Paradise, Tennessee...Faith waits. Surrounded by her loving sisters, Faith McKinnon had faced her own demons, having thought that the love of her life had deserted her.
But fate...and a few meddling McKinnon sisters...conspired to bring the two star-crossed lovers together again.
NOTE: Romantica -- this is a romance with erotica in certain sections!!
"God, yes," Faith gasped, wrenching her lips away from his as she moaned. "Harder, Cain," she begged.
Pinching and releasing the tempting little buds he held, he kissed a slow tender trail down her creamy neck, pausing only long enough to lick her throbbing pulse before moving on to one lush, perfectly formed breast. "So pretty," he murmured before pulling her nipple between his lips and raking his teeth against the sensitive skin.
"Yes!" Faith breathed, cupping her palm against his shaved head as he ate at her breast. "That feels so good," she panted, wriggling in front of him in a bit to get closer.
"Yeah?" Cain mumbled around her nipple before kissing a path across her chest to the other breast. Swirling his tongue around the taut peak, he smiled. "Finger your clit, baby," he ordered in a low voice. "Get that pussy ready for my tongue," he growled, sucking her nipple sharply before using his teeth to gently bite the engorged flesh.
Drawing back enough to watch Faith slowly slide her hand down her midriff, he licked his lips when two of her fingers spread her labia and stroked the pink pearl peeking from beneath its hood. "Oh, now that's beautiful, darlin'," he praised as she shivered in his arms. He could see the light touch of her fingers ratcheting up her desire, her juices coating the slender fingers she used to pleasure herself. "That's it," he encouraged softly, mesmerized by the sight of those delicate digits stroking over that cluster of nerves at the apex of her sex. "That's how I want you to touch yourself while I'm gone, and every time you do, I want you to imagine me between those milky thighs. Think about how good my tongue feels when I'm licking you nice and slow."
Sarah O'Rourke is the alter ego of two best friends who have taken their passion for romantic fiction and erotica, along with a slight twist into the paranormal, to the publishing world. Born and raised in the southern United States, one lives near Louisville, KY, while the other resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither is ever very far from a tall glass of sweet iced tea, their dog-eared copies of Gone With the Wind, or their Steel Magnolias DVDs!
Formerly an accountant and a chemist, they are now overworked, stay-at-home moms who adore their children, their husbands...and writing about love in every way possible! Choosing the professional name Sarah O'Rourke was a spur-of-the-moment decision...and it worked!!
The Sarah duo has now published six novellas, ranging from steamy erotica to romantic comedy, all with a firm commitment to happily ever after. Multiple projects are in the works, including a male/male with a surprise ménage that could peel the paint from the walls!


text: Taken from their upcoming Cissa Ep 'Selma' is the sound of Traams cutting loose. The throbbing bass lines with which their beaky, lo-fi rampages are typically swamped have been siphoned off allowing Stu Hopkins and gang to slip into something light-silky and semi-coherent. Its not the band's first sing-along chorus, but it might just be the only in which the lyrics are discernible.

SCRIPTURES – Ps. 84; Exodus 17:1-7; Romans 5:1-8; John 4:5-39
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." (John 4:10)
What are you thirsting for? That is the question Jesus puts before us today. There are many things for which we thirst.
Ø An end to winter, with its cold and snow! Many of us thirst for this; and our thirst will be satisfied. Be patient. Spring will come, as it always does; and then summer… and fall… and another winter.
Ø Are you thirsting for a faithful spouse and a good family? The Samaritan woman Jesus speaks with, who had had five husbands and was currently living with a man to whom she was not married – she'd be right at home in our society. We have plenty of people who have been married more than once, and people who are living together without being married. This marital unfaithfulness has not been a blessing, but has harmed our society. Do you want better? Do you desire a faithful spouse? Start by being one yourself!
Ø Are you thirsting for an end to divisions due to race and ethnicity? "Jews have no dealings with Samaritans." – this is how it was in Jesus' day. If you thirst for an end to such divisions, which have always been around, then start by ending them in your own life. Welcome others as Jesus did. Offer your help to those who are looked down upon, as He did. Be one who unites and does not divide.
Ø Are you thirsting for the certainty that your physical needs will be met? "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again," Jesus told the woman. If even He, the very Son of God, was exhausted and thirsted in this life, you can be sure that you also will have times when your needs will not be met.
We thirst for many things; but, our greatest thirst should be for God and for life with Him. All other things pass away. Only God will remain. He is the source of living water, Jesus says, of "water welling up to eternal life." Jesus connects His living water to worship. Worship is drinking, going to God and receiving Him as the source of life. Do you think of it this way? You must learn to do so.
The Samaritan woman Jesus spoke with had a big problem: she was drinking from the wrong source. "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews," Jesus told her. He connects the true God and true worship with a source that she has rejected. We also fall into looking to the wrong source. We hear Jesus' say, "the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth," and we internalize this. "Ah, Jesus means that true worship must be spiritual. It must move your spirit and be from your heart. It must be sincere and meaningful and heartfelt." That sounds right, doesn't it? Surely the worship of God must come from your heart and not be just words and responses that are so well-known that they are automatic!
You condemn yourself with this thinking, this belief! For out of our hearts come great evils along with great good – even the good of worship. Be honest:
Ø While joyfully singing a hymn, you've seen one who is not singing as well, or perhaps is not even singing at all, and questioned that person's sincerity and heart.
Ø While confessing with others the one faith you share in the one God, you've doubted in your heart the sincerity of another's confession.
The suspicion and judgmentalism that divided Jews and Samaritans in Jesus' day lives in our hearts to this day. If true worshipers are those who worship the Father with true and sincere hearts, then no such worshipers will be found, even among us Lutherans. Our hearts are not wholly true and sincere, but are corrupted by sinful judgmentalism, and doubts, and even simple distractedness!
Are you dry and thirsty now? We need a different water, far different from that which flows from our hearts. We need "a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Jesus gives that water.
To understand what Jesus was saying to the Samaritan woman and where He is focusing our attention, let's start with what He first said to her: "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." What is the "gift of God" He is referring to? He told us last Sunday. We heard it in the words that precede this story in John 4. John 3, the story of Jesus' meeting with Nicodemus, is in the background of today's Gospel. In John 3:16 we heard: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son." The gift of God is Jesus Himself! He is the source of the living water we need.
And what is that water? Again, in John 3 Jesus told Nicodemus of water that gives life. "Unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God," He said (John 3:5). The water of life is the water that is connected with the Holy Spirit. This is the water of Holy Baptism, for Jesus came to baptize with the Holy Spirit, as John the Baptist said: "I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'" (John 1:32-33).
But, what about what Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, that "the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth"? The word "spirit" is not capitalized. Jesus is referring to our spirit, then, and not the Holy Spirit, right? Keep in mind that you are reading an English translation of the Bible. The original Greek did not differentiate between a small or a capital "s." What you have in English was an editor's decision. So, then: is there any way of knowing whether Jesus meant your spirit – a small "s" – or the Holy Spirit – a capital "S"? Well, listen again to what Jesus said: "the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth." "God is Spirit," He says. The "worship in Spirit" that He refers to, then, is worship in God. God's Spirit within you, given to you in your baptism, joins you to Jesus and prompts your worship of the Father. He continually washes you clean in Him and purifies your worship so that it is true. God's Spirit is a living water who is flowing within you, continually cleansing you in the forgiving blood of Jesus! This is the gift you have in your Baptism in the Triune God.
Drink deeply of your Baptism! It is from the One who, when His hour had come, bore your sins in His own flesh and "died for the ungodly" (Rom. 5). In this God shows His love for you, and by this death for you Jesus became the forgiveness and holiness with which His Holy Spirit constantly washes and cleanses you.
This took place before your eyes today. Keep your own baptism before your eyes constantly by rejoicing in it and thanking God for it! Drink deeply of that living water, the Holy Spirit with which Jesus filled you in your baptism. You will know that Jesus is not only the Savior of the world; you will know Him as your Savior, your eternal peace with God. In His holy name. Amen.

Bathroom Accessory Sets Cy sets red - Bathroom accessories also play important roles in making toilets useful and attractive. Since people prefer items that combine practicality with good looks, these substances that are ubiquitous function as the epitome of utility and should ooze quality, beauty. The accessories that are most commonly used are towels, fixtures, soap dispensers, several types of holders for candles, towels, toiletries, make-up etc, towel racks, bathroom baskets and curtain rods for showers, candle holders, carpets etc.
Showers and toilets would be the most preferred spaces of the home as far as a tired person can be involved. In olden times, toilets were looked upon as simply a necessary evil, but presently, they've got much value which can be matched with that of a bedroom, kitchen or living room. While other elements of your home are built for our physical wellbeing, toilets assist in rejuvenating both the body along with the head.
This new found value of toilets has resulted in them becoming glamorous rooms and a genuine friend of the residing in the house. Now people make an effort to redesign and remodel their toilets periodically so the visual interest is kept complete. Bathroom accessories are always small but thoughtfully added items that make your bathroom practical as well as more attractive.
However there's a need to pick your toilet accessories. There is no point in cluttering up your small bathroom space with all sorts of frills. Fix the accessories at just the spaces that are acceptable and give a thought regarding the colour scheme also. It truly is true that these fixtures generally eat up nearly twenty five percent of the entire toilet building cost.
Patterns and colours of toilet towels like hand towels and bath towels should always complement that of the backdrop wall tiles. Actually, selecting the right accessories and towels demands an artistic bend of head. Due to this, you're able to ask for advice from other members of the family or a professional designer in your effort to give your own bathroom a lucid feel and look.
Some toilet accessories like flower vases are of purely ornamental worth while fixtures and stands are totally practical appendages. Some pieces like towels and toiletries are both ornamental and useful in the same time. Bathroom vanities have become absolute necessities for the well-fixed because of the improved ambience these can supply to the lavatory.
Another popular trend, especially in design children's toilets, is always to make use of temporary fixtures, wallpapers, accessories etc because their living surroundings are fast outgrown by children. The emphasis here should be on improving the fun factor in place of practicality. The materials should be light, durable, attractive and safe.

Philosophy in the Playground Project
The Philosophy in the Playground project was funded by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences through its Knowledge Exchange Grant, in partnership with Summerhall. It consisted of three free events between February and April 2014, aimed at showing how the subjects of EIDYN cutting-edge research are related to everyday experiences and life situations.
The project involved interactive activities, presentations, and demonstrations open to everyone, but especially targeted at parents and carers.
The events included:
• Thursday 17 April: Dr Mark Sprevak guided our discovery of the boundaries between human and machine with "Does technology make you smarter?"
Technology not only helps us, it also changes us. Children now carry around sophisticated computers in their pockets. Does this chance them for the better (make them smarter?) or worse? In this session, we consider some of the surprising ways in which technology changes our children.
→ Click here for coverage of Dr Sprevak's session in the Herald Scotland
• Wednesday, 19 March: Dr Jane Suilin Lavelle helped explore cross-cultural differences with a talk entitled "Why did you do that? Contrasting the different ways of understanding other people"
Our everyday interactions with other people raise some interesting questions. Do all cultures think about thinking in the same way? Does the scientific study of the mind reflect our intuitions about how people think? Should we chance how we think about thinking in order to better fit the scientific evidence?
• Wednesday, 19 February: Dr Tillman Vierkant ran a section on "Who decides? Me or my brain?"
Cognitive science shows that much of our behaviour is controlled by unconscious processes. Does that mean that we, as conscious selves, are mere puppets of our unconscious brains? OR have scientists perhaps misunderstood their findings? Does it even make sense to talk of us as if we were different from our brains?

[New Mix] Guillaume Duchastel de Montrouge aka DJ W!ld is not a new name in house/techno, but is one that will definitely be talked about more and more for his "renaissance" behind the decks. He and his partner for Catwash, Chris Carrier, are two of the driving forces on the French scene, along with artists like Dyed Soundorom, Jef K, Franck Roger and many more. This is episode 1 of his mix series, but you can expect much more classic percussive, techy, bass filled, and sometimes sensual, house music from W!ld in both his productions and his DJ sets. Catch DJ W!ld at DC10 in Ibiza at his Circoloco residency, where he does NOT disappoint!

Online Giving
At Westminster we teach the biblical principle of tithing – returning 10% of our income to the work of the church. It is not, however, a condition of membership because Scripture does not teach that! However, we believe the Bible is clear that starting by returning our tithes is the first principle in sound money management for believers. To do less is to mistrust God's good provision for all our needs.
Capital Campaign
Westminster has run two very successful capital campaigns in the last ten years, raising in excess of $4,000,000 dollars to build our new Beard Hall addition and renovate our sanctuary and do remedial work due to water coming into the building. When all the work is finished we anticipate carrying a mortgage debt of roughly $1.5 million. While we are not fond of carrying debt we also believe there is something right about letting those who will join Westminster after the project is finished (and were not here during the Capital Campaign itself) to have an opportunity to retire this debt while enjoying our updated facility.

Why set life goals?
Setting life goals is the beginning of living a meaningful and happy life.
If you go through life without any plan or purpose, chances are you are going to go around in circles, and finally you'll wonder how other people seem to have their life together and are happy while you are unhappy, -not sure of what you want or where you want to go.
To set great goals, it's important to look at seven key areas of your life.
Use this workbook to reflect and answer the questions that affect the critical areas of your life.
What you will need:
Set aside 2 hours, get your favorite drink, a notebook and sit somewhere comfortable to begin this exercise.
Consider financial goals as specific targets you wish to meet at a certain point in time.
It could be paying off your student loans, an early retirement plan, college education for your children, or even plans to buy your dream home.
Whatever your financial goals are, setting them can be a scary thing for most people. Despite how important we consider finances, the mere mention of money has a tendency to send people into freeze mode.
Money is admittedly not a straight-forward thing to manage -but it is inevitable that we should.
By the way, you do not need to know anything about finances to set money goals. As long as you appreciate its value, then you are as good as anybody else, and you are set to start off.
Avoid looking at your plans in a form of hard numbers, regarding fixed figures. Goals aren't set in stone, and so don't beat yourself up if you do not meet them on time.
Let's reflect on your financial goals:
1. Are you focusing on counting the coins and pennies?
2. Be reasonable in what you set, if need be, spread it over several months.
3. What are your previous expenses (list them)?
4. What can you realistically live without?
5. What is it you wish to achieve, can you define, or describe it?
(Is your plan to buy a car, pay off credit card loans?)
6. Do have a timeline set that you wish to apply to achieve it; have you determined how long you plan to work to hit your target?
7. What is your action plan for the target you wish to achieve?
Be open to reviewing your financial goals.
Regular reviews are a must to keep you on course.
Our spirituality connects us to our God. It is our inner connection to a higher power. This connection is what gives us faith, hope, trust and happiness.
Without any connection to God, it is impossible to be happy or to experience real joy.
The more spiritual a person is; the greater their well-being in all areas of life.
Take a moment to reflect on your spiritual goals:
1. Do you do stuff that promotes and protects the well-being of others?
2. Do you appreciate the meaning of suffering in relation to your spirituality? What lessons is God teaching you?
3. What do you understand is your connection to the world around you?
4. Have you any idea why certain things happen; is it for a reason?
5. What is the best way possible you can live your life so that you reach your highest spiritual self.
Spirituality will tone down life's frustrations and grant you more control over your passions. Having a close relationship with God is the beginning of happiness.
The family is the strongest support structure existing on the planet. Family helps us gain balance in so many ways; particularly if it is a healthy family.
"Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home."
– Anthony Liccione
A supportive family may not agree with you or what you are doing, but they do not walk away from you when you falter. Even if you went against their advice, they stand by you and help you walk through the challenges you are faced with.
A family is something we don't get to choose, unlike our friends. You get what you get, so it is best we make it work. A family is a social unit that includes parents and siblings. Someone described it as the place you are loved the most -yet you tend to act the worst.
When everything goes wrong, the family are usually the last left standing unflinchingly for you. That is what supportive family does for their loved ones.
Here are some questions to reflect on your family:
1. Are you too busy to find time for your family?
2. Do you please other people over your parents?
3. What are you doing to promote your family? Remember, charity begins at home!
4. Do you appreciate your family; when did you last have a family get-together? Or buy them a gift?
5. When did you last visit your family?
(Family is not just important, it's everything)
Even if for some reason you do not have a family, get yourself a surrogate family. It means the world to have people who are more than just friends. People you can call family. Whatever you do value family above all else. At the end of the day, a loving family will find everything forgivable and give you a lot of joy.
The relationships you form are some of the most important decisions you make.
Your relationships can cause you great joy or can be a source of grief and unhappiness.
Relationships take work. You need to know what you want out of them and be willing to work to attain it. Remember, it takes two to tango; you can't just have your way all the time and neither can it be a one sided friendship.
1. How do you relate to your friends?
2. Do you have children, and how do they fit into the mix?
3. Do you go out of your way to make friends?
4. Are you looking for an adventurous relationship?
5. What is your idea of romance?
6. Are you looking for a long term relationship?
Your health is one thing you need to consider seriously.
A healthy life means healthy living. Our health is a factor that involves what we eat as well as our emotional and physical lives. You can't have one without the other. Health goals are very personal, and should be accustomed to your own need.
Consider these questions and reflect on them:
1. What ultimate health goals do you have in mind?
2. What form of exercise are you comfortable with?
3. How much water or fluids do you take each day?
4. Do you take fruits and vegetables as a part of your daily diet?
5. How much time do you exercise a week?
Breakdown ultimate goals into smaller manageable bits and do not be too hard on yourself -and celebrate all wins, however, little they may seem.
Keep an exercise diary.
Your physical health counts for everything
Hobbies are activities we love to do repeatedly for fun. These vary from person to person, and any activity can become a hobby. They are not fixed, and so you can change from one hobby to another. Considering that they are mainly activities you pursue for relaxation or pleasure, they don't necessarily provide you with an income. Through hobbies, you pursue interests that are not work related.
Because hobbies are usually done in your free time and generally have no financial reward, many people assume they are not worth the time. This is not exactly true. There is a myriad of benefits you can reap from hobbies.
Hobbies are a creative outlet, keeping your brain engaged and keeping you passionate about something. Doing stuff you enjoy helps you relax, calms your spirit and makes you happy.
Some hobbies can provide an income, but you have to be careful and differentiate a busness and a hobby.
Consider some questions to help you reflect on your hobbies:
1. Do you have any interests you can engage in on a leisurely basis?
2. What amount of free time do you have or can you set aside for yourself?
3. What did you love as a kid; does it have an adult version?
4. Is there anything you love doing with your friends?
5. Do you consider hobbies a waste of time? If so, can you change that perspective?
As you can see, you have no shortage of good things you can develop into hobbies. Hobbies help you better perform your job and grant you a healthier life.
Make a list of things you love that you can do during your free time and chose the one you love most and can easily make time for.
The process of education involves acquiring general knowledge, developing judgment and the power of reasoning. Education helps us learn specific skills or knowledge for our chosen profession.
Education does more than transform us into better social beings; it expands our levels of appreciation of things and life and keeps us informed and better equipped to make wiser judgment calls. It is vital to the success of your personal growth.
Education is not limited to, or defined by the certificates you attain; it also encompasses your social being which affects your happiness.
Let's reflect on your education goals:
1. Do you have any educational goals you would love to attain?
2. Do you know your strengths and weaknesses?
3. Is there any way you can contribute to the knowledge base?
(The best way to learn is by giving. You can only refill a glass if it's empty, so share your wisdom and create space to learn even more)
4. What are you doing to educate yourself in any skill?
5. What kind of reading are you engaged in and does it bring you joy?
Hope you enjoyed working on the exercises in this book.
Now that you are more aware of yourself, if you want to be happy, all you need is to Take Action.

See my new project bag? It is made by Alexis, a fellow Knitsmith. It is just perfect for my new addiction which is Glove Knitting.
I am using the leftover Legacy Lace from Duke Design Sanquar gloves. Since I have less in Pinot Noir, I reversed the color scheme. The original pattern is written for fingering weight while mine is a lace weight. I am revising the pattern to accommodate the gauge difference as I go along. So far, I've used 0000 and 000 needles.

1. Floyd Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO's)
To say that anyone else deserves this spot over Floyd Mayweather is just plain nonsense. Anyone that thinks otherwise should not be allowed to talk about boxing. The man has not only won every fight he's been in, he's completely dominated most of them. His perfection of the art of boxing goes uncontested. Whether or not Floyd will finish his career undefeated remains to be seen. I don't care who he has or hasn't dodged. The pound for pound king has been number one in our books since I can remember, and will stay that way until someone can prove otherwise.
2. Andre Ward (26-0 14 KO's)
If it weren't for Mayweather, Ward would easily be in the top spot. His dominance in the Super Six was unforeseen and nothing short of amazing. Then after a grueling tournament against top world class fighters Mikkell Kessler and Carl Froch, he goes on to fight light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson and completely dominates him. And no, Ward moving up to 175 would have made no difference in the outcome of that fight. Ward is talented, and exciting to watch. The problem? He may be a victim of his own success. There is no one left for him to fight.
3. Nonito Donaire (31-1, 20 KO's)
What can I say. Donaire has been the top guy for awhile and continues to impress with each performance. He fought four times last year, a rare case for someone so high up in the P4P rankings on almost every media outlet. I'm expecting to see him fight at least three times this year. I do think that we will get to see Donaire-Mares sometime in 2013. His next fight might be against highly regarded Guerillmo Rigondeaux. We like it!
4. Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6, 40 KO's)
His knockout over Manny Pacquiao will forever go down in history as one of the greatest ever. I'm glad he's deciding to stick around for a few more fights. Juan has a very long resume of top fighters that he's fought in every weight class. He's still a word class fighter that will bang with the best of him. Lucky for him, he's in a stacked weight class with a lot of options.
5. Sergio Martinez (50-2, 28 KO's)
His list of accomplishments isn't as stacked as I would like to be ranked 5, but no one will fight the guy. Anyone that does, realizes why no one wants to fight him. It's not his fault. Let's see how that injury effects his movement in the ring. A torn acl is the worst injury for an athlete to come back from, and that's even worse for a 37 year old man. Not interested in a Chavez Jr. rematch but would love to see him face Canelo, Cotto, or Golovkin still.
6. Wladimir Klitchsko
7. Manny Pacquiao
8. Carl Froch
9. Vitali Klitchsko
10. Abner Mares

Obama Can't Bring Himself To Call Benghazi Attackers "Terrorists"
To Obama, the Benghazi victims - our heroes - are "these folks."
And their murderers, the terrorists, are "those folks."
What happened in Benghazi is a tragedy. Were investigating exactly what happened. I take full responsibility for that fact. I send these folks in harms way, I want to make sure theyre always safe and when that doesn't happen, that we figure out what happened and make sure that doesn't happen again. But my biggest priority now is bringing those folks to justice and I think the American people have seen thats a commitment I'll always keep.
Equality. They are all the same to Obama. Just one letter difference.

From Steven Johnson, the bestselling author of Where Good Ideas Come From, comes How We Got to Now,the companion book to his six-part BBC TV series, which tracks the surprising inspirations and unexpected consequences of the most influential innovations.
How did the advent of refrigeration help create the golden age of Hollywood? How did the invention of flash photography help shift public opinion on the plight of New York's poorest inhabitants and bring about social reform? And what about our battle against dirt? How did that help create the microchips in our smartphones and computers?
In How We Got to Now, Steven Johnson traces six essential innovations that made the modern world; from their origins in ancient history to the technological advancements of recent years. A celebration of innovation: this book shows how time and time again, big ideas coalesce out of smaller, incremental breakthroughs. Unlocking tales of the unsung heroes and unexpected scientific revolutions, this is the story of the ideas that changed the world and the way we live in it.
'Johnson is one of the world's best chroniclers of innovation and in this book he brings a plethora of insights' Matt Ridley, Sunday Times
'Readable, entertaining, and a challenge to any jaded sensibility that has become inured to the everyday miracles all around us' Peter Forbes, Guardian
'Steven Johnson is the Darwin of technology. Through fascinating observations and insights, he enlightens us about the origin of ideas' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs
'Elegant, one of the most persuasive advocates for the role of collaboration in innovation . . . Johnson's erudition can be quite gobsmacking' Philip Delves Broughton, Wall Street Journal
Steven Johnson is the US bestselling author of Where Good Ideas Come From, The Invention of Air, The Ghost Map, and Everything Bad Is Good for You. He is the founder of a variety of influential websites - most recently, outside.in - and writes for Time, Wired, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Rebar, an art and urban planning project in San Francisco, has just unveiled their first prototype of a street-side "walklet." Rebar became famous for converting parking spots one day every year into inventive urban parks. The event grew, and drew more and more people around the world who changed the streetscape for one day. Now, Rebar is putting in semi-permanent "walklets" with benches, tables, bike parking, and planters on top of parking spaces. The project has been OK'd for six months, and can be continued if well received.
This is genius!
To quote from Rebar's site:
Inspired by Rebar's PARK(ing) Day and other efforts to convert parking spaces into people places, cities around the United States are transforming excess roadway into public plazas, pocket parks and experimental sites for new forms of urban infrastructure.
To help support this growing trend, Rebar has created "Walklet"—a modular, flexible sidewalk extension system designed to create new public spaces for people by extending the pedestrian realm into the parking lane.
The installation at 22nd and Bartlett in San Francisco is part of a pilot project supported by the City. The collection of benches, planters, bike parking, and tables, sheathed in stained bamboo and red wood, will be in place for six months, and if it's well-received, could remain in place indefinitely.
The prototype has been arranged to suit the needs of that neighborhood's site, but Walklet are incredibly adaptable. Each three-foot wide Walklet module provides a single, specific program that can be mixed and matched with other Walklet modules to create the right design combination for each unique site. Walklet extends the sidewalk surface into the street but provides much more than just a place to walk—it creates an adjustable, flexible, full-scale laboratory for developing and refining the perfect combination of user programs.
Like Flora Grubb Gardens, I, too, wonder what will they plant?!
Update: Here are photos of the planting.

Hello everyone! Now that I finally have my pc here at the new flat, it's time for My Neck of the Woods… MOVING EDITION! WOOHOO!
It's been a chaotic few weeks full of all five senses. There was the smell of flatpack furniture, the sound of barrages of rush-hour buses squealing to a halt right outside the windows, the taste of constant grease-laden takeaway, the sight of cardboard every-freaking-where… And the feel of various hand tools for putting together all that flatpack furniture. It's also been a moderately unlucky few weeks with a number of things going wrong, which has been immensely frustrating.
But now it seems we are finally settling in, which is a very welcome feeling as August gets underway. Jon and I both adore our flat, and the more we decorate and personalize it, the more it's becoming "us". Our personal Avalon.
So now! Behold, the last three weeks in photos! I hope you have a nice drink and a good internet connection, folks.
Monday, July 17

Tuesday, August 1
I picked up these cloud shelves at Tiger, and I just got them put up in my craft room. What shall I put on them?
Wednesday, August 2
A trip to Wilko for necessities had me having domestic daydreams about… lamps?
Thursday, August 3
We finally got the fob for underground parking today while Jon was at work. So when he drove home, I met him out back so I could hand him the fob and so he could get in to park.
Friday, August 4
Walking up the street to get a new power cable for my computer. The day was warm and beautiful, and this tree was full of clouds of rowanberries.
Saturday, August 5
The Leicester Caribbean Carnival was today, and we got to watch the parade right from our windows!

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.
Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.
NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).
The UK is covered by 204 Ordnance Survey Landranger 1:50,000 scale maps. Maps numbered 1 to 86 cover Scotland but for the highest mountains (Munros) only 23 maps are required. The name given roughly describes the area covered by the map.

Prince's time to shine in Glasgow
Four years on, it's Danielle Prince's time in the spotlight.
The baby of the rhythmic gymnastics team which brought home a swag of medals from the Delhi Commonwealth Games, the now 22-year-old is very much the senior figure in Glasgow.
Gone are Naazmi Johnston - who won three golds and two silvers in Delhi - and Janine Murray, replaced by Jaelle Cohen and 16-year-old Amy Quinn.
Prince, Johnston and Murray won the team's gold in 2010, while Johnston also won the all-around.
Prince missed the all-around final - not because she wasn't good enough - but because only two gymnasts from the same country were allowed to qualify for the 16-person final.
She finished ninth in qualifying with a score or 89, just 2.4 points behind Murray in eighth.
Now it's her turn to lead the way.
"I've done four world championships, I'm at my second Commonwealth Games and two World University Games so I've been in a lot of situations like this - in front of the cameras, the big lights, big crowds," Prince said.
"It's going to be a very tough competition - in my gym we have things called `makes', which is a routine with no errors.
"Four `makes' is the main goal, and I feel the results will come with that."
She nominates the ribbon and hoop as her favourite apparatuses, but it is her leaping ability which is her true strength.
Canada - led by Patricia Bezzoubenko and Annabelle Kovacs - shape as the team to beat.
Bezzoubenko finished 25th in the individual all-around at last year's world championships. No other Commonwealth athlete finished inside the top 40, with Prince down in 57th spot.

(from "Grayscale, You in Black)
She had been screaming for nearly two hours without breaks, to the point where there were only faint traces of her voice remaining in the back of her throat. Tears flowed unchecked down her face and onto her chest. There was some jostling in front of her, as there always was at one of these marches. A man had dropped one end of the giant banner he was carrying splashed with the words "No Justice, No Peace" in red paint, and he was struggling to pick it up before other protesters started to step on it in their haste to keep up with the crowds marching towards the White House. She bent down to pick up one end of the sign and straightened up to hand it to him. And she thought to herself, what if this was him? Him of the glaringly white eyes threatening to release a flood of anguish and pure rage at any moment. Him of the muscular back and the smooth baritone that belonged on her grandmother's record player. Black love. They could pose like one of those paintings of half-naked couples draped in some printed fabric that Muhammed, her Afrocentric neighbor was always trying to sell her. And they would laugh at how silly it all was. But then she looked at him. She realized that they could be very happy together, and perhaps produce a few little ones. But then these babies would grow up, and they would have to have the talk with a capital 't.' About how their overdose of melanin made them susceptible to squint-eyed suspicion and groping and hate being spat out constantly, and actual spit. She looked at him, and was about to ask if he would like to get together and make mini-freedom fighters like themselves. But she was struggling with the urge to wail to the sky, so instead she said: "Great night for a riot, isn't it?"

A kangaroo is only truly pregnant for around 1 month, but she carries her baby kangaroos in her pouch from 4 months to sometimes more than 1 year. The length of time in the pouch depends on the specific type of kangaroo.
Kangaroos belong to a class of animals called marsupials. The one major identifying trait of this infraclass is the pouch that babies are carried around in after birth. These animals give birth to live babies that are not able to survive on their own. These babies crawl into the marsupial pouch after they are born and nurse to continue to receive nutrition from their mothers. They do not leave the pouch until they have grown enough to be able to survive without their mother's milk.
A group of kangaroos is called a mob, a female is called a jill, a male is called a jack and a baby is called a joey. Kangaroos most commonly live in mobs that have one or more family aspects to them. They are colonized animals and work together to hunt, graze and protect their young. They primarily hunt grass, shrubbery and berries because they are herbivores. Kangaroos can be found in a variety of locations that have greenery for them to eat, and they are able to adapt to nearly any type of living situation or environment.

The Club Leadership Team is a group of dedicated volunteers that handles the necessary, behind-the scenes administrative stuff that keeps the club running. The Leadership Team consists of seven Board Members and one Coordinator. The Leadership Team is all about planning and execution.
Board members and two Coordinators work with trip leaders to make sure that the calendar has plenty of fun events for members to attend. We also plan club meetings, parties and training sessions. We interact with the American Canoe Association on behalf of the club, oversee safety for the club, manage the website, and approve funds as needed to make it all happen.
Contact us if you have a question or comment for the Board.
Board Members
Linda Davis is the Club Treasurer. She accounts for funds and files the yearly tax paperwork necessary to maintain the Club's social non-profit status. No, that is not Linda Davis's photo. Her photo will be updated soon.
Stephanie Shipp serves as the Club Secretary, committing club activities and memorable words of Board Members to the official HASK record. She has a penchant for lettering with gold leaf, which, ultimately, may cause a serious dip in the Club Treasury. She has been kayaking since 2014, primarily to get outside and closer to Nature. Stephanie also oversees the HASK online store.
Bill Ohsie is the club Membership Director. As Membership Director, he welcomes new members and handles member questions and concerns. He also collects and processes our annual waivers.
Bill is also one of the Webmasters and is a trip leader.

The Human Rights Research League (HRRL) is a non-governmental organization aiming at protecting individuals by placing human rights abuses, acts contrary to international humanitarian law, systemic grievances as well as humanitarian emergencies on the agenda. HRRL seeks to contribute to knowledge and research based public discussion and problem analysis without geographical, political, confessional or other limitations or alignments.
As our name suggests, we are an organization primarily focused on research from the basis of a strong academic foundation. However, we recognize that lasting impact and positive change also depend on connecting academics and practitioners, combining research on root causes of human rights violations with implementation of projects and policies addressing those grievances.
To this end, we are engaged in four focus areas: Research. Education. Advocacy. Development. (R.E.A.D.), all with a view to bridging the gap between academic and practical approaches to human rights, and between problem analysis and implementation of solutions.

Are you, like the majority of the sensible people on earth, a Beyoncé fan? If yes, then we have som EXCITING NEWS for you. If no, then seriously. Dude. Why did you even click on this article? It's quite clearly about Beyoncé. I'd leave now if I were you. We'll just wait here. Go on. Go.
Okay, members of the Beyhive, here we go. Coldplay are coming out with their seventh album next month, called A Head Full of Dreams. It won't be released until the 4th of December, but in the meantime they've just dropped a new single that gives some hints about the upcoming records general vibes. It's very disco-poppy.
But why, you ask, are we now talking about Coldplay? I thought this was a place for Beyoncé appreciation?
WELL. It's all because that new Coldplay album has a bunch of collaborators. Including, as you may have guessed by now, Beyoncé. And don't worry, she won't just be producing a song or giving some whiff of an influence. She's counted as a vocalist appearing on at least one track.
Meaning that soon, we will be treated to the sweet tones of Beyoncé's voice once again. New. Beyoncé. Music.
Other also brilliant contributors to the album include Tove Lo and Noel Gallagher, which is pretty cool. But let's be real here, this is the first glimmer of Beyoncé-related excitement we've had in MONTHS. We are so, so desperate for new Beyoncé music. It's all we can think about.
Let's all treat whatever magical Coldplay/Beyoncé song that appears next month as a snack to keep us going until we finally get to feast on a new album. We can make it through to the next release. Soon, our time will be here.

This empire was established by Vili Milisits, who fled communist Hungary in 1958 when he was only 9 years old. When his family arrived in Adelaide after a long wait in England, Vili attended school and was put to work at 14 years old.
By the time he was 19, he was a qualified continental baker and was running his own business. He didn't start making pies and pasties until his sister asked him to do so for her snack shop, and he worked at redesigning the Aussie meat pie to be more acceptable for people of other cultural backgrounds.
We were told that this place was a secret love of Adelaideans, especially those who are up late at night because the café is open 24/7. We stopped by to sample the food and while we walked in with an open mind, we walked out with clogged arteries. Everything was so greasy and laden with fat.
The beer pie and cheese & bacon pasty were very average and the schnitzel and chips was a plate of mass produced gunk. Even the cakes in the display case looked like coronary heart disease topped with sprinkles. Clearly, places like this don't truly value premium quality, but more cheap quantity.

One costume down...
jonas picked out patterns at wal-mart, and i just finished his "knight" suit of armor. kind of a viking-y knight, but whatever. i'll put a grey hoodie underneath to look like chain metal.
betty's costume still looks like this:
it's a good thing it's cold and rainy today!
ha! i just looked at the pattern, and i have the horns on backwards. they're supposed to curve up. that would look better, wouldn't it?
shoot, jonas just noticed. "mommy, i need it like his, to stick up and not go down."
