Jenn Bates grew up in Florida under the influence of an adventurous, sports-loving family: Her mother, Robin, a school teacher, has a passion for baseball and planned family vacations to visit ballparks across the nation; her father, Phil, is a preacher's son turned drummer in a band who now is a highly respected attorney; and her two older brothers played any and all sports while growing up.
Bates has been attending or participating in sports her entire life, beginning as a newborn on the sidelines of her brothers soccer matches. Bates was a young athlete as well. "I was a tomboy, but I also loved wearing dresses," Bates said. "It's a part of being from the South girls wear heels and dresses I still do."
Batess career in sportscasting was launched at a young age. The middle and high schools she attended in Pensacola had a broadcast journalism classes, and Bates eagerly took the lead on sportscasting assignments.
While attending the University of Florida, Bates was involved in nearly every aspect of the Gators news and sports coverage including print, radio, production, running the cameras and eventually serving as sports director.
After graduating from Florida, the 21-year-old packed up her dog, Lou Gehrig, and drove over 2,500 miles from Pensacola, Florida, to Tri-Cities, Washington, for her professional debut on KNDU as the weekend sports anchor.
Bates driving route took her through the Kansas City area. "My Mom and I saw the gold crown on Kauffman Stadium and talked about how we needed to go watch a game there someday," she recalled. As fate would have it, Bates has been able to attend numerous Royals games with her family at "The K."
The opportunity to join KWCH's Eyewitness Sports team brought Bates to Wichita in 2008, and she has become one of the most influential sports personalities in town. The recent transition from sports anchor to co-anchor of the morning and noon broadcasts was a quick one. In fact, Bates was on the road covering the Royals in the American League Championship when she was informed about her new role. By the Monday morning following the World Series, Bates was on set.
Bates has comfortably settled in along side co-anchor Scott Evans. "I am a morning person and I always have been, so this schedule suits me very well," Bates said. "Scott and I have a great connection. We are both very positive people and are committed to bringing authenticity and good news stories to the table." She is looking forward to the opportunity to share more of her personality during the morning newscast, joking that viewers will hear a few corny movie lines and Seinfeld quotes interspersed at random.
"People ask me all the time if I miss Florida," Bates said. She acknowledges missing her family and being nearby the beach, of course, "but Wichita absolutely feels like my home." Bates refers to a quote by "Mr. Cub" Baseball Hall of Famer Ernie Banks, "You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace."
The sentiment of Ernie Banks resonates with Bates. "My mom is the most positive and happy person I have ever met, and I try to be the same way," she said. "I know it's a good day if I have made somebody smile." One of the many ways Bates spreads smiles is by baking for her friends and co-workers. Rumor has it that her gingersnaps are legendary.
Bates volunteers one afternoon a week at Victory in the Valley's Hospitality Centre located at the Cancer Center of Kansas. The Hospitality Centre is a relaxing atmosphere where cancer patients and caregivers can enjoy refreshments and activities while waiting for appointments. While volunteering over the past two years, Bates has built lifelong friendships. The men enjoy talking sports with Bates, while with the ladies, "well, we can talk about anything from cooking, fashion and our pets."
"Cancer seems to touch everybody," said Bates, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor. Bates learned about Victory in the Valley from co-worker Kim Setty and felt drawn to support its mission when Setty lost her battle with breast cancer. Bates now serves on the board of directors in addition to her weekly shift at the Hospitality Centre.
Bates says she is honored to share her time and her smiles with the patients and their families. "I feel that most days that I get more out of volunteering at the Hospitality Centre than I am giving," said Bates. "We celebrate the good days, and share some tears. The survivors are so inspirational and help put things into perspective."

When I open my eyes the blindfold lies at my feet clinging to the prickly grass. It is silk, the color of blood, and ripples in the breeze. Whoever brought me here has left me and my mind pushes into a dark empty space as I try to remember the past. There are no marks on my skin. The ends of the silk hold together with a single delicate knot. The boney ribs of corset fingers run down my torso like streaks of water down glass,...Read More
The day passed in strange silence, after people hung their heads, and the body was lowered into the ground. We said the prayers, but uncertainty hung in the air like frosting pressing against our lips as we tread under the gray sky. It held back its tears so as not to draw attention from our moment. Later that evening it poured. Water slid down the windowpanes. I pictured him holding the hose as the water smeared against the glass,...Read More

Living in Finland?
Finland: Housing, Healthcare, Wellbeing
Finding Accommodation in Finland
The internet is always a good starting point for house hunting. Some recommended websites for finding accommodation in Finland are Lumo (in English and Finnish), Etuovi (in English and Finnish), Jokakoti (in Finnish), Oikotie (in Finnish), and Vuokraovi (in English and Finnish).
Another resource are local newspapers in Finland; however, you need to understand Finnish.
It is more common to buy as opposed to rent housing in Finland. Most Finns own their homes and there are no restrictions on foreigners buying property (with the Province of Aland the only exception). Cities in Finland also administer rented housing. This option is often cheaper than renting privately. However, the city does not own enough apartments for everyone, so not everyone is eligible for this option.
In general, housing is expensive in Finland and even more so in Helsinki. The average household in Finland spends 22% of their income on accommodation.
Rental prices usually do not include electricity or gas, so the tenant often pays these directly. Sometimes water is not included in the rent either. When you've found your dream rental home, you have to pay a security deposit. The maximum amount is the monthly rent for three months.
One plus of living in Finland is that many apartments and houses have access to saunas. If you want to sweat it out in the sauna, you normally have to make a reservation in advance. Winter may be long in Finland, but the Finns certainly know how to handle it!
Living Healthy and Secure in the North
Finland has universal healthcare provided by Kela, the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. If you work in Finland or live there permanently, then Kela covers you.
To apply, fill in the online application or go to a Kela office. Once you have been approved, Kela sends you your new health card by post.
Chances are Kela is going to be your go-to for most things you need in Finland. Kela takes care of everything from student financial aid to rehabilitation, and from national pensions to unemployment security. In addition to all these social services, Kela is also responsible for healthcare.
The municipalities take care of healthcare services, and so for anything health-related, simply make an appointment with your local municipal health center.
Private health insurance is also an option, but most Finns stick to public insurance. However, if you do have private insurance, it will typically cover anything outside of the realm of public coverage.
Healthcare around the Clock
The emergency help number is 112 and is free of charge. Should you require information about healthcare at any time in Helsinki, call the 24-hour number 09 310 100 23.
The pharmacy (Apteekk) at Mannerheimintie in Helsinki has 24-hour service.
Kela covers some dental work. Municipal health centers have dental clinics, with centralized booking and information services (e.g. if living in Helsinki call 09 310 51400 between 08:00 and 15:00, Monday through Friday). Alternatively, you can make an appointment with a private dentist. The latter is more expensive, so first check with Kela to find out about being reimbursed.
Saunas: A Finn's Second Home
There may only be 5.4 million people in Finland, but there are 3.3 million saunas! This says a lot about the Finnish lifestyle and its priorities. Historically, children were born in saunas and the sick were healed in the hot steam. Today, a sauna is a place to gather with friends or to relax alone.
The heat is therapeutic as it is believed to help muscles relax and for mental stress to evaporate like the water when it hits the sizzling rocks. You might encounter bunches of birch leaves in saunas as it is common practice to lightly beat the body with the leaves. This is believed to stimulate blood circulation.
Even though saunas are blissfully relaxing, don't forget to take breaks. It is a good idea to leave the sauna every now and then to cool off under cold water.
In Finland, it is common practice to go to a sauna weekly. Women bathe with women and men bathe with men with the exception of families and good friends.

My in-laws celebrated their 61st anniversary this year. They also moved out of the house they've lived in for 50 of those years.
Various combinations of their nine kids spent weekend after weekend going through the 3-story house and sorting through the things they found there.
The attic has proven to be an especially interesting source of items, including three plastic bins of my kids' baby clothes, another bin of their blankets, another of toys, and our old high chair, Exersaucer, and playpen.
The backstory is this: 12 years ago this summer we put our old house on the market. Since we wanted to make sure it showed well, we took a lot of the baby stuff we were storing to my in-laws' and put it up in that 3rd floor attic.
We weren't 100% sure we were done adding to our family, so we didn't want to get rid of it. But it turned out that our family was complete after all, and so there it sat for 12 years.
That's how I – someone who writes about simplifying and tries to regularly rid our house of unwanted items – found myself sorting through Osh Kosh overalls and Fisher Price school buses, when the babies who wore and played with them are now 18 and 21.
I'm not going to lie, it hasn't been easy on this soon to be empty nester.
I found my daughter's blue and yellow fish raincoat. The same daughter who spent the summer studying and working in London. (Ironically one of the things she had to before she left was a raincoat.)
I also found my son's sweet little Gymboree coat. The same coat that fell out of the stroller when we were visiting the Easter Bunny at the mall. The kids and I backtracked to try and find it (no luck!) and eventually left our name at the Sears customer service desk in case it got turned it. Luckily, it did.
And while I've been sorting and reminiscing about my own kids' childhoods, some memorabilia from my husband's childhood – and even a few of my in-laws' – found it's way into my house too.
All this has me thinking a lot about what things from childhood should be kept and which should be let go of. Here are some of my thoughts on that.
My kids are older, so we're way past the stage where school clothes are outgrown from year to year. And there will be no little brothers or sisters to hand things down to.
When I was in that stage, however, a friend of mine offered up this suggestion: if you want to keep some clothes for sentiment's sake, keep the outfits your kids had formal pictures taken in, so you'll have both the picture and the outfit.
I thought that was a neat idea and I kept it in mind as I sorted through these bins of clothes recently. It's fun to see a picture of your child in a special outfit or dress and then be able to hold the outfit in your hand at the same time.
Beyond that I just kept a few other special things, like these:
1. The sleeper they both came home from the hospital in.
2. The First Communion dress and suit.
3. A dress my daughter wore every day for what seemed like a year after she got old enough to express an opinion about what she wore.
4. A little navy pea coat and hat my son wore.
In addition to clothes, I had an entire bin of toys to sort through. I have some more of their toys in the basement that I'm holding onto for two main reasons:
1. So I'll have something for little kids to play with when they come over.
2. I'll have a few of my kids' toys for my grandkids to play with if I have any.
For me, deciding which toys to keep is easy. I only keep the classic toys that really stand the test of time. Wooden puzzles, books, train sets, and a wooden cradle.
In fact, if I had it to do over again, I would probably only buy those kinds of toys for my kids. Less plastic and batteries.
Artwork and Schoolwork
This can be hard. You know you want to save the school pictures and report cards, but beyond that, what should you keep and what should you trash?
Back in my scrapbooking days, I used to advise customers to keep artwork or school assignments that were unique to the child.
If everyone's in the class pretty much looked the same – like math tests and reports on Presidents – toss it.
But a story your child wrote or a drawing of how they spent their summer vacation. Definite keeps.
And artwork doesn't have to reside in a box. Pull out a few of your favorite pieces and frame them. It will add a lot of personality and warmth to your house.
Those are my suggestions. Are you a saver or a tosser? What criteria do you use to decide?
Related note: over the weekend I re-read this interview with Sharon on how she saved $1800 on her family's taxes in one year by donated unused items. So inspirational!

I have at home my summer bed linen, and the winter ones. It might sounds a bit weird but I need to have pastel, fresh tones or colorful sheets for hot days and warm ones for winter.
Now it has been said you will easily understand why I needed these fresh tones of light blue and white for this hot summer we are having here in France ! These colors remind me small greek island or summer sky...
No need to say those pillowcase have become my favorite since I made them !
You need:
2 white pillowcases
1 fabric dying kit (I used n°26 Ocean Blue from DYLON)
1 fabric dying kit (I used n°26 Ocean Blue from DYLON)
200 gr salt
A large basin
A large basin
* Pour 3 L hot water into your basin. Add 1/4 from your fabric dying and mix it with the salt. Stir until salt has dissolved.
* Rince the pillowcase (washed them before if they are new) and place them one over the other into the basin.
* Immerse them up to the chosen height (here half the pillowcase) and let them soak for 2 minutes or until the fabric gets the shade you want. Don't let them soak too long as you are making here the lighter shade of blue.
* Slightly take the pillowcases off the basin to immerse around 1/3 of them. Let soak for 10 minutes or so.
* Repeat one last time taking off the pillowcases to immerse only 8-10 cm and let soak 20 to 30 minutes.
* Once the ombré effect is done rinse your pillowcases with cold water to take off remaining fabric dying. Do it until water gets clear.
* Place the pillowcases into your washing-machine and wash them without washing powder, on 30°C.
* Let them dry and you're done.
* Tadaaaammmm !!!

In mid-August I was supposed to be out on a nine day backpacking trip in the Sierra. Unfortunately, my stress fracture hadn't healed enough by the planned start date and I had to back out. By the next weekend I felt like I could start getting back on the trail with a small daypack, so I decided to head out for a couple of easy peaks. As a bonus, I would get to meet my friends coming off the trail from the trip I was supposed to be on.
I chose two peaks based on their relative simplicity, short distance, and basic terrain in case my foot acted up and I needed to bail. It occurred to me that both are great starter peaks for someone looking for an introduction to off-trail peak bagging in the Sierra. They are both relatively short, easy to navigate, straightforward terrain, and have great rewards in terms of views. So, if you're thinking about getting into the addicting and rewarding activity of Sierra summiteering, here's a good place to start.
Both peaks are accessed via Horseshoe Meadows Road out of Lone Pine.
Wonoga Peak (10,371 ft)
About two miles round trip with approximately 1200 feet of elevation gain/loss.
Getting to the summit of Wonoga Peak presents a marginal route finding challenge, but the terrain is easy and straightforward as long as you stay on track. To get to the start of this hike drive up Horseshoe Meadows road and just past Walt's Point (the place where hang gliders take off from) look for a paved pullout on the right. Park here.
You'll be hiking up the creek on the north side of the road. The topo maps show an old trail starting from here but it is not obvious from the parking. Start up the right side of the creek, following a use trail that fades in and out.
After about 1/3 of a mile you'll come across a clearing that looks like a campsite. Turn northeast away from the creek and start following the ravine up towards the summit (not quite visible from this point). If you follow the ravine, or stay close to it, the terrain will naturally lead you towards the summit. The ground is sandy with some rocks and manzanita overgrowth but it's easy walking – no hands or scrambling needed.
Eventually you'll see the summit rock pile. Actually, you'll see a few rock piles ahead. The summit is the biggest one and looks like this when you get closer:
Aim for the saddle to the right of the summit (south side). Once you're on the saddle you're at the trickiest part of the hike – finding your way up the summit pile. While you can head straight up the south side, it's a class 3 scramble and I promised easy, so here's the easy way. From the saddle, scramble through the boulders that look like this:
Until you're at the base of the peak where it looks like this:
Don't worry – you don't have to go up these vertical cracks (unless you want to). Turn to the right, circling around the peak on the east side, following a sandy use trail, until you're almost on its north side. From the north side it's a really simple boulder scramble to the summit.
I love the views from Wonoga. To the east, Owens Lake sits almost 7000 ft below. To the north there is a peek of the Whitney ridge, and to the west the peaks of the Cottonwood region (Cirque, Langley) stand out. I was fortunate to enjoy the summit as storms cleared at sunset, relishing my first summit back after injury.
Trail Peak (11,605 ft)
About 6.7 miles with 2000 ft of gain
This is a bit longer than Wonoga but it is very straightforward – the route finding is simple. Drive to the end of Horseshoe Meadows Road and park at the Cottonwood Pass trailhead.
The first and last two miles of this hike are on trail. Start out on the Cottonwood Pass trail and when it forks follow the trail across Horseshoe Meadow and climb towards Trail Pass.
The PCT crosses the trail at Trail Pass. Follow the PCT to the west, and take the first switchback to the south. Here, leave the trail and head straight up the slope. You might have to dodge a few fallen trees and boulders but the terrain is easily navigable. Just head up.
Eventually you'll get above treeline and see the summit ahead. There is a big post at the summit, about the size of a power pole. Head towards it. Again, the terrain is very easy and straightforward.
There is a final summit block you can hop up on, just watch out for all the marmot poop – apparently a large community lives up here. Enjoy the views of Langley and Whitney, and the Kaweahs to the west.
To head back, just retrace your steps.

Monetizing Your Blog
I've been asked by new bloggers before how I have managed to monetize (or make money) off of Yep, It's Prep. Ever since I monetized it a little over a year ago, I have managed to make thousands of dollars doing something I absolutely love. If you want to make money off of your blog, it is important to know how to do so effectively. Here are my tips to make it a breeze!
Use Affiliate Links in Blog Posts
This has to be the absolute easiest way to generate revenue. I use ShopStyle collective for almost all of my blog posts and I use RewardStyle for my Instagram posts (here are parts one and two of my guide on using ShopStyle Collective).
Depending on which affiliate links service you use, income is generated in one of two ways: per click by your readers, or by purchase of that item by your readers. Some bloggers find more success with affiliate services that pay per click while others find more success in affiliate services that pay per purchase. I personally have found more success per click, but as my blog has grown more, I am starting to find success per purchase as well.
Start Doing Sponsored/Paid Posts
Working with companies you enjoy and getting paid to voice your opinion is one of the coolest experiences ever–– trust me. I have worked with some truly amazing brands that I love (Anthropologie, Bobby Brown, and many others) and it's hard work but it pays off. Start by emailing smaller companies and offering to review their products for free but in exchange for free product, and then work your way up to a point where you can charge a base price for your services.
Once you get to this level, design yourself a media kit to send out to potential companies so they can see your blog statistics, who you are, and what companies you have worked with in the past. This is super important, and it looks super professional.
You can also charge for Instagram posts, tweets, and pins on Pinterest.
Sell Advertisement Space on Your Blog
Offer a piece of your sidebar for advertisement to a company that you truly love–– my advice would be to only offer this to companies that truly reflect your style though. You can charge for these on a monthly or weekly basis, and the prices can vary due to the amount of traffic your blog gets.
Sell Merchandise
Remember when I got YIP stickers made and I sold them? It seems like forever ago. It was so much fun and allowed me to be creative, and a lot of the money went straight to charity.
P.S.–– I found a huge box of 500 YIP stickers the other day when cleaning out my car, so if you want to get your hands on one, email me!
Make Sure to Include Disclosures
This is super important–– if you're using affiliate links on your blog, you must disclose this somewhere. My disclosure is at the very bottom of my blog in the footer area. It's against FCC rules not to disclose!
You are also supposed to disclose whether a post is sponsored or not and what products are gifted to you, so keep this in mind!

I have had this experience, and regardless of how I and the household attempt to make ourselves at home, there's at all times that little thing missing, that makes you notice that there's no place like residence.
Yep you will not find OneWest within the National Mortgage Debt Settlement. They went after the a lot bigger banks. Also OneWest took place because they bought the previous IndyMac that failed and was taken over by the FDIC. OneWest buyers; George Soros to call one of many biggies and good good friend of the Obama Administration (gave tens of millions to Obama's marketing campaign) will not be involved-no less than I do not think. I think OneWest argument will probably be they did not do the loans. IndyMac did the mortgage, thus they cannot be answerable for the dangerous loans. Additionally they purchased IndyMac for pennies and assumed the prevailing loans.
The Web is a great tool for primary analysis however it's no substitute for going to go to different properties and speaking to impartial individuals with a great understanding of the Bulgaria real estate property market. Take notes of the key features (dimension, location, situation, views, price and many others) of different properties and examine then in a table. No two properties are precisely alike, especially in the resale market and there's no such factor as a mathematically-proven correct price.
So when we were finished in July 2007 we had a $1.2 Million loan quantity; nonetheless, this was right on the point of the worldwide economic collapse and IndyMac removed every loan program from our list of options and solely gave us 2 options: (1) a completely amortized mortgage between 8 and 9{57a7cd68b3c68e30974c286bbb2765e61d356c90b1efd91594cfdf3e2ecca88d} or (2) a completely amortized 1 month Libor adjustable loan. Each of these two choices weren't sustainable and primarily setting us up for eventual failure.
Many owners record their houses themselves to avoid brokers' charges, which price roughly 6 percent, usually split between the proprietor's and buyer's brokers. Brokers, nevertheless, caution that understanding how one can price an apartment, stage it and handle multiple affords often requires professional expertise. Some agents even get pushy with homeowners, attempting to get their itemizing, sellers and real estate experts said.

No Regrets
I, like many of you, have been reflecting a little this week, taking a look back at 2013 and all the year had to offer. And while this year was not without its bumps in the road, over all the year was pretty darn good. Those bumps provided the most valuable lessons and with them came a lot of growth. I can honestly sit back today, the last day of 2013, and say I have no regrets at all. Everything that happened did so for a reason, and brought me to the place I am today. A place that finds me happy, content, grateful, and so very excited about the possibilities for 2014.
Thank you 2013, you have been amazing!

text: This is a story about a sweet, elderly hobbit lady, Miss Rosemary. Even though Miss Rosemary had grown quite old, there was no grumpiness in her. On the contrary: she was very sweet, a motherly character loved by all. She was always helpful; be it babysitting, tailoring, dishwashing... She was loved by all. But above all, Miss Rosemary was known for her spectacular Yule feasts. Each Yule, she arranged a Yule party for all fellow villagers. She served many different dishes during the feast, but the star of the Yule table was her Yule cake. She never used the same cake recipe twice, but always amended the cake a little, and the result was always stunning. This year, Miss Rosemary wanted to exceed everyone's expectations. She sat in the Great Smials library for days and went through several cook books, trying to find something special. And then she found it: the recipe for the "Cake of True Happiness". "Sure it can't get any better!" Miss Rosemary thought and copied the recipe with care. Most of the ingredients were easy to get, but one of them was quite special: the wild mountain berries. The recipe said: "For the cake, only the frozen, wild berries of the western mountains should be used." "These can be found on the mountains to the west, a one day hike from the Southfarthing." Miss Rosemary shrugged. "If it brings happiness to all, it must be worth it!" She started her preparations well in advance, as usual. But every now and then, someone came to ask for help. A small hobbit lass came to ask for a story, so she told her one. Or two A mischievous hobbit lad needed to have his hat tip repaired, so she mended it. And so on... So she had to postpone her own chores, as she didn't want to say no to others. Days passed like this, and Yule was getting near. It was a day before the Yule Eve when she realised that she had forgotten about the berries. "Oh my, and I still have so many chores to do!" she sighed. "But the cake is paramount, I can't disappoint others!" So she packed her bags and departed for the mountain hike. The journey to the mountains went pretty well, but she could feel how a chilly wind was starting to blow. "The winter is near", she concluded. "We might get snow soon." Using the instructions in the recipe, Miss Rosemary found the berries on the mountain cliffs. They were frozen and dried up, but it didn't matter, they were in perfect condition for the cake. Miss Rosemary smiled and picked up as many as she needed. But the journey home wasn't an easy one. The snow began to fall heavily. It was already Yule eve, the day when the feast was supposed to take place. But Miss Rosemary was still on her way, fighting through the snowy winter storm. Even an old, wise hobbit can get lost in a storm like that, as did Miss Rosemary. She was standing in the middle of a dark forest and had no idea where she was. She started to feel afraid; it was cold. "I am such a fool," she thought. "It is cold and dark, and I cannot stay here." "No one will ever find me here." Then, Miss Rosemary saw some movement between the trees – a strange figure. When it came closer, she saw that it was a small man, even smaller than a hobbit. He had the pointiest hat and longest beard Miss Rosemary had ever seen. "Hullo there!" Miss Rosemary said. "I am so glad to meet you, Mister...?" But the little man didn't say a word, he just stared at Miss Rosemary, with no expression on his face. Miss Rosemary didn't mind. "I am afraid that I am lost... Would you be so kind and show me the way to Southfarthing, my home?" The little man stared Miss Rosemary for a while. Then he picked a small bottle from his pocket and took a long sip, which made him hiccup. Then the little man turned and started to walk away. Miss Rosemary watched him walk. The little man stopped and beckoned Miss Rosemary to follow. And she followed. The little man led her through the forest and fields, determined and without a word. From time to time, he stopped to take a quick sip from its bottle and hiccupped along. Whoever the little man was, he seemed to know the route: finally, Miss Rosemary could see her burrow! When she approached it, she realized how many chores she had undone... And it was time for the feast, and she hadn't even baked the cake. "Oh well, at least I am not lost anymore," Miss Rosemary thought. She turned to thank the little man, but he was gone. But when she reached her burrow, she could see light streaming out the windows, there was voices and music... As she stepped in, everyone started to cheer! The other villagers had arranged a party for her! "You are always so helpful to us," they said. "That is why we wanted to arrange a Yule feast for you!" Miss Rosemary blushed. "I am sorry that I couldn't finish my cake this year, the 'Cake of True Happiness!'" The villagers smiled. "That recipe in the library? It was a part of our plan to get you away from your burrow!" "We wanted to send you away, so that we could arrange everything and surprise you." "And what about the little man?" Miss Rosemary asked. "The one who led me home?" The villagers looked baffled. "What are you talking about?" Miss Rosemary scratched her head, but then she laughed. "That must have been my poor sight! Probably just a squirrel I saw..." The feast was wonderful and lovely. In the morning, Miss Rosemary woke up happy and wanted to take a peek outside. The ground was covered in snow, all was peaceful... Then she saw the empty bottle on her porch. The same bottle the little man had carried... And there were small footprints... She started to follow the small footprints that led out from her yard. On and on she went, all the way to the village of Bramblebury. The footprints led to a yard, and there, a small garden dwarf stood in the snow. Miss Rosemary was sure that the dwarf was still having a hiccup. The End.

|Magneto wonders why he put the urinal in the center of the mens room.
Today we got a newer version of the trailer for X-Men: First Class. This time we get a glimpse of Banshee taking to the air.
I was a skeptic when I first heard of the prequel/reboot/new direction for the X-Men movies. Ever since the first teaser I've been pretty sold on the movie. I'm holding out hope that it will be a breath of fresh air to the mutant stories.
X-Men: First Class opens June 3.

Product Details
I am searching for a wholesale supplier or drop shipper of all types of business and consumer calculators that can be drop shipped at a very low cost to online clients through one of my active websites: www.georgiaofficeproducts.com Quantities should range from one to as many as ordered. I have been selling online for about 10 years and the prices of the current 300 plus regular calculators on my site are not as low as they need to be from my master distributor. I am eliminating all of the other categories such as copy machines, fax machines, and hundreds of others except for some possible refurbished machines to rebuild this site. I will also once again be selling 33 specialty calculators and digital measuring devices that I sold with success in the past and am creating those pages now. Do these comments offer any possibilities to drop shippers or whole sellers that might consider looking at www.georgiaofficeproducts.com ? If products could be made available in a spreadsheet format, I can import into my advanced Miva merchant 5.5 store. Thanks for any response, connections, or advise.

Colleagues and Friends:
What constitutes a housing "crisis"? Do we face a housing crisis when home prices are spiraling upward (as they did between the mid-1990s and 2006) or when they are tumbling downward (as has occurred during the past two years)? Or both? The problem is that, under both scenarios, the gap between incomes and home prices persisted beyond what any reasonable society should allow. Why? Don't blame builders, or bankers, or landlords, or homeowners. They were doing what we expect them to do—maximize their returns. We face this crisis because the federal government has let "market forces" and greed dominate the nation's housing. Speculation and boom-and-bust cycles will persist until they are reigned in by government. Government is necessary to make business, and markets, act responsibly. Without it, capitalism becomes anarchy. Without clear groundrules, every segment of the housing industry—builders, banks, brokers, landlords, investors, and others—becomes so short-sighted and greedy that they don't see the train wreck coming around the corner. The major housing problem facing the U.S. is the gap between what people earn and the price of housing. We can't solve the problem unless we deal with both wages and housing costs. Drawing on a number of studies and recent trends, I discuss this topic in a column on Rooflines, the blogsite of the National Housing Institute. I refer you to my column, but also encourage you to go to Rooflines' homepage, look at the diversity of topics discussed there, join the conversation yourself, and become a regular Rooflines reader.

Recipe cards for kids
I had two children's birthdays in my family a while back, both cousins, one of whom is also my Godson. Wanted to give them something that would encourage some kind of hands on activity, so bought dinosaur cookie cutters, found a good cookie recipe and painted and drew a little recipe card for him. Also bought a love heart shaped pancake ring (silicone with a funny handle for easy removal)and made a recipe card for pikelets on it for her.

Eliott Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of FT0335in our 2018, and 2019 Tom Ford range.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square frame is a classical shape, highlighting the straightforwardness of the personality. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Black is one of the undisputed classics. It can be combined with any outfit and simultaneously radiates elegance and naturalness. Blue coloured lenses look very fashionable, but also distort the colour impression and influence the field of view. They are, therefore, suitable as a cool party accessory but less as a protection from the sun while driving. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
The glasses are in stock. If you order now, we can send out your glasses immediately. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Studying the Benefits of Montessori Schooling [INFOGRAPHIC]
The choices you make about your child's education will have a profound impact on his or her life. The traditional public school education system focuses on a structured curriculum and evaluates students academically with tests and grades, but what about the rest of the child? Montessori schools take a different approach. Montessori classrooms are geared towards the students. The teachers are there to encourage and facilitate learning while the students electively immerse themselves in topics they find interesting. As a result, students build not only academic knowledge, but also improve their social skills and gain self-confidence. The Montessori Schools of Allen and North Dallas devised this infographic to explain the benefits of keeping your child in a Montessori program. Please share these facts with your fellow parents to help them make informed choices about their children's elementary education.

How to Buy Skype Credit for Calling Phones
You can buy Skype credit to call telephones using a service that is sometimes called SkypeOut. You can call phones anywhere in the world at a fraction of the price that a normal phone call would cost. This is a service that seamlessly bridges Skype users on the Internet to regular phones.
Be aware that Skype is not set up to make emergency calls such as 911. Skype is not a replacement for your ordinary phone and cannot be used for emergency calling.
A PC-to-PC connection over Skype is always free. A PC-to-phone connection, whether to a landline or a mobile phone, is an extra service and entails a fee for its use. To make a call, you must first buy Skype credit. You can buy Skype credit only in increments of $10 or $25 at a time.
You are told what the per-minute charges are before you make the call. The most popular destinations have one unified rate, often referred to as the "Skype Global Rate." Countries with "mobiles" in the SkypeGlobal Rate are charged the same rate that it costs to make a Skype call to a landline.
Calls to other countries have different individual rates. You can find these rates on the Skype Web site. If your billing address is in the European Union, a value-added tax surcharge may be applied when you buy Skype credit.
You can purchase Skype credit for calling phones while running your Skype application or by going to the Skype Web site from your browser. Here, you see how to do it from your Skype program. (The process for purchasing credit through the Web site is very similar.)
To buy Skype credit, you need to have a Skype password and a valid e-mail account.
When you click the View Account button of the main Skype window, it expands to reveal various links, one of which is Buy Skype Credit. If you don't see the View Account button, just click Skype from the menu at the top of the screen and choose Account.
To buy Skype credit, follow these steps:
Click the Buy Skype Credit link.
You should momentarily see a padlock display, signifying that you are securely connecting to the Skype site.
Select either $10.00 or $25.00 for the amount of Skype credit.
Deselect the Auto-Recharge box if you don't want to automatically buy more Skype credit whenever your balance drops below $2.00.
Fill in the requested billing information.
You are asked to fill out some basic information and method of payment (which can be PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, or other forms of payments, such as a wire transfer).
Respond to security confirmation: As a security protection, Skype e-mails a confirmation code and asks you to insert this code in a confirmation e-mail screen.
Receive feedback for your order: Skype displays a notification that your order is being processed and sends you a confirmation by e-mail.

As some of you know, one of my hobbies is photography.
I've never thought of pursuing anything professionally ( in terms of taking classes, studying my heart out, and making a career out of this) but I do enjoy learning what I can about contrast, about lighting, about angles, about context and all other aspects of the art.
I probably know nothing. But I like to think I do.
My mother made a suggestion that I make a calendar with photographs specific to each month because I shot this on Christmas:
I could probably get rid of that candy cane off to the side. It's a give or take in my eyes.
I would like to get into shooting more abstract things, and portraits. I'd like to do some good cityscapes too. I enjoyed doing this on the roadway:
I just like messing around. I think the effects are cool.
This bird says hello. I made him a little more . . . artistic and aesthetically pleasing to my eyes, as you can probably tell:
But nature has it's own beauty and when I went out to the cliffs this evening to do some homework away from this chaotic household, I stopped halfway up the driveway and ran back into the house for my camera case and camera. I figured if I caught the sunset, I could get some cool shots. Here are a few:
Luckily the roar of the ocean on the sands edge below drowned out the screeching Superbowl fans from the houses across the street.
At the end of the day only me and one smoker guy were left admiring the skyline and sinking cement boat off in the distance.
Once again: cement boat. Not one of humanity's greatest inventions.
Whether I'm horrendous at shots or generally "alright" for an amateur, photography is like a meditation to me. My head zones out and I focus only on what I need to focus on; I see the patterns and the shapes and the opportunities and for a chunk of time I think of nothing else lest that something else have an importance towards my original focus. I emerge from the experience refreshed, at one with myself, with my camera and with whatever random event or object I've etched into a digital file.
Photos to me snap more than a quick moment in time, they hold within them a quick moment of myself, a moment of my thoughts, and I see that reflection in them.
It's much like writing a fiction piece or manuscript; your characters will always have a sliver (or more) of you in them and you will notice that reflection whether you intended for it to be or not.
If I don't see myself in the art I create, I feel no attachment and often scrap it. Art is for the self as much as it is for the enjoyment of others. I think that's what makes it often so undeniably momentous.

One of the first dolls I crocheted that was of my own design was Coraline, then Wybie, then Wuss Puss and even the Ghost child! Wow, that's dating back to 2011.. I can not believe how fast time flies by!
Anyway, this year I revised all of those written patterns and gave each one a full video tutorial except for the Ghost child, I still have to revise her pattern. I'm not sure if I'll get to her this year but she would be a great doll for Halloween for sure.
Coraline.. I also made Caroline just to see how she'd look in different colors. This is the revised version and it comes with a full video tutorial as well. And I also made a short stop animation film of them together announcing the next free pattern...click the play button on the photo.
And Wybie! And if you change up his colors you can also make Einstein.. click here to see him and get his pattern
For Wybie and Coraline you have the option of making them a fingered hand which is shown in Wybie's tutorial and is also a written tutorial all on it's own here. And a video tutorial here.
And we can't make the crew without Wuss Puss of course! Click here for his pattern. I also made him in different colors and brushed the yarn to make him fuzzy so you can get different cats too, click here to view the post and video
There's also an entire playlist of my Coraline patterns on youtube, click here and bookmark it!
Why donating is important and my thank you here.

Audit of All Public Debts Urged
MANILA, Philippines – Alarmed over President Duterte's $9-billion new loans from China and intent to avail more Official Development Assistance (ODA) for its deficit financing, the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) raised the urgency of conducting a comprehensive audit of all public debts along with the government's fiscal policies.
"A debt audit is the public's assurance of the prudent and proper use of loans and that there is a policy environment that guarantees this. This is long overdue being a casualty of previous administrations that have been either involved in unscrupulous loan-funded projects or too obsessed with boosting the country's creditworthiness," FDC Secretary-General, Sammy Gamboa, said.
FDC warned of the current burden forced on the people by the continued and automatic servicing for debts that were wasted on projects littered with corruption, bloated budgets, violations of legal procedures, lack or insufficient public consultations and used as lender's conditionality for privatization of public utilities such as power, water and transportation services.
The group cited its initial study on 13 questionable loans which will cost the government P755.86 million and P5.45 billion in interest payments and principal amortization, respectively, for 2017.
"These are just 13 out of 481 ODA-funded projects, excluding government debt securities, which are religiously being repaid without anyone, borrower or lender or both, being held accountable for the unfair terms of the loans and misuse of the funds. We still receive reports of fraudulent projects, particularly in the agriculture sector and in post-disaster reconstruction, which are in this list and need to be investigated," Gamboa said.
Tagged by FDC as questionable programs and projects were the Philippine Rural Development Project, Pampanga Development Flood Control, Bohol Irrigation Phase II, Angat Water Supply Optimization, Sixth Road Project, Power Sector Development Program, Help for Catubig Agricultural Advancement, Agrarian Reform Communities Project, Global Maritime Safety, Small Water Impounding Management, Third Elementary Education Project, Emergency Network Project and Southern Philippines Irrigation Sector.
"We have to arrest the further bleeding of public coffers on these fraudulent, wasteful or useless debts and rechannel funds to finance much-needed programs to address poverty and inequality, the speedy recovery of disaster-stricken areas, and the creation of jobs. We need to take the first step of examining, comprehensively, all public debts, immediately," Gamboa said.
According to FDC, resolving the issue of these fraudulent loans would not only address centuries-old of oppressive practice in borrowing and lending, but also free up funds that could be used to reduce the current administration's need for deficit spending for its plan to ensure that economic growth is felt by people living in poverty.

WALTHAM, Mass., June 13, 2013 – Stanley Healthcare, a market leading provider of safety, security and operational efficiency solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced the launch of the new generation of the Hugs® solution, now available on the AeroScout® Wi-Fi-based RTLS Platform, the KLAS Category Leader for RTLS.
Hugs is the market leading solution for protecting infants from the threat of abduction and mother/infant mismatching, and protects more than 1.5 million newborns each year across more than 1,300 hospitals worldwide. The new Hugs solution marks a significant advancement in infant protection: because it works with standard Wi-Fi, it is able to track the location of babies and continues to provide protection anywhere in a hospital where Wi-Fi coverage exists—it is not confined to particular units the way other systems are. It is also the only infant protection solution that conforms to IEC/EN 60601-1-3 with an accredited, third-party test house.
The ability to monitor and protect anywhere in a hospital is critical, since nearly 20 percent of hospital abductions in the U.S. happen outside of the Mother-Baby unit, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
In addition to this hospital-wide infant protection, the Hugs solution now offers a range of additional patient safety and operational awareness features for the Obstetrics Department, including automatic temperature monitoring of breast milk refrigeration units, blanket warmers and pharmaceutical cabinets; asset tracking of breast pumps, wheelchairs and other key assets; staff assist to enable staff to call for help for patients or themselves; and hand hygiene compliance monitoring to improve infection prevention through automated around-the-clock monitoring of hand hygiene events.
"With the new generation of Hugs, infants are monitored virtually everywhere and can be quickly located, even during transport, transfer and treatment in ancillary departments," said Jason Santamaria, President, Stanley Healthcare. "While technology is only one component of a comprehensive security strategy, the unparalleled level of protection in the new Hugs solution provides peace of mind for parents, nurses, administrators and security staff."
Built on the Stanley Healthcare AeroScout Wi-Fi-based RTLS platform and MobileView® enterprise software, the solution provides exit, tamper and supervision protection; automatic and audible mother-infant matching; auto-enrollment of infants and intuitive software. It also easily integrates with:
- Hospital information systems, such as Admission Discharge and Transfer (ADT) systems to automate admissions via HL7
- Communications systems, including VOIP staff badges, IP phones, pagers and other alarm systems for event notification
- Security and access control systems, including magnetic door locks, IP relay systems connected to strobe lights, sounders or other devices, or closed circuit TV (CCTV) to capture and view footage starting before an exit alarm occurrence
If anyone attempts to leave a monitored area with a protected child without authorization, the Hugs solution will set off an alarm, activate magnetic door locks and hold specified elevators. Staff and security can also immediately locate a protected child anywhere in the hospital by accessing the system's web browser-based application from any PC or mobile device.
With the Kisses® mother/infant matching option, the Hugs solution also provides an automatic and audible alert if an infant is brought to the wrong mother, in support of the traditional process of matching ID bands.
The new Hugs solution is just one of the solutions of Stanley Healthcare's AeroScout RTLS platform. Once a healthcare organization or department deploys it, other applications, including Asset Tracking & Management, Environmental Monitoring and Hand Hygiene Monitoring, can be deployed on the same platform, delivering additional improvements in safety, security and efficiency.
Stanley Healthcare will be demonstrating the new Wi-Fi Hugs infant protection system in booth #329 at the 2013 Association of Women's Health, Obstetrics and Neonatal Nurses convention held in Nashville, Tenn., June 15 – 19, 2013. More information is also available online at www.stanleyhealthcare.com.
