Marry into the military and you are guaranteed to feel like an idiot. You are NOT an idiot. We know that. But starting married life in the military is like starting married life in a foreign country. Everything looks familiar, but all the rules have changed. Strange.
That's why you might feel like an idiot a lot when you are first married. Everyone does. Even for your servicemember, married military life is a lot different than single military life.
The best way to handle this is to treat these first six weeks like a curious tourist on a scavenger hunt. We we polled our Military.com readers to find out the top 10 things you and your servicemember should do to get off to the best start. This isn't everything you could possibly do. These are the best things to do so you can fix it, forget it and go back to the honeymoon as soon as possible.
1. Memorize your servicemember's Social Security number. Not yours. Theirs. Weird, huh? But remember the military keeps track of everything according to the servicemember's Social Security number. You qualify for benefits through your servicemember and his or her SSN. This is not an indicator of your personal worth, it is a convenience for the accounting department. Let it go.
2. Grab your official marriage license and a copy your servicemember's current orders. For the next few weeks, you are going to trot these two papers everywhere. Put them in a plastic page protector and make sure they are hard to lose. Then get a fireproof lockbox and tuck those records inside, please.
3. Get on DEERS. DEERS is a part of your servicemember's record. It shows that you are officially married and thus qualified to get an ID card and medical benefits and live in housing. Your servicemember starts this process with their chain of command. BEFORE you get married.
On most posts and bases, you need to present this military picture ID at the gate in order to get on base. You need it in order to buy anything on post and to get any medical or dental benefits. Carry it with you all the time -- like your driver's license. Also, get an official base sticker for your car if it is required for your post or base.
4. Get an ID card. On most posts and bases, you need to present this military picture ID at the gate in order to get on base. You need it in order to buy anything on post and to get any medical or dental benefits. Carry it with you all the time -- like your driver's license. Also, get an official base sticker for your car if it is required for your post or base.
5.Write down the mailing address for your servicemember's command. It isn't enough to have your servicemember's cell phone. It isn't enough to know he or she is in the Navy or the Air Force. A mailing addy will tell you exactly what ship/unit/battalion/division your servicemember is in. Update this 30 or 40 times during the next 20 years.
6. Get the name of the helper assigned to families in your unit. In the Navy, this person will be the Ombudsman. In the Marine Corps, you have a FRO (Family Readiness Officer. In the Army, you are looking for the FRSA (Family Readiness Support Adviser). Often, these people are listed on the command's website or Facebook page. They will not solve your problem, but these helping professionals are trained to be able to listen to your problem and then hook you up with the right support. Think of them as your Spark Notes for military life.
7. Get access to local doctor appointment. Tricare provides medical coverage to military families. Once you are on the DEERS form and you have an ID card, sign up for Tricare. Then go to its website at Tricare.com. When they ask what plan you are using, click "I'm not sure. I'm new to Tricare." This whole process takes exactly 20 minutes. Then find out exactly where the nearest emergency room is. Road trip!
8. Find out about military housing. Maybe you will live there. Maybe you won't. But find out about it so you can make an informed decision. Take any horror stories you hear with a grain of salt. Make your own decision.
9. Get clear on money. Many of our Military.com readers confessed that they messed up money because they spent what they thought they SHOULD make, not what they actually made. Just write on a piece of paper on your fridge how much money you take home every month and how much your servicemember takes home. That's it. No one is asking you to make a budget, just write down what you take home.
10. Scope out the commissary checkout line. For some reason, the commissary checkout line is guaranteed to make you feel like an idiot. This pitfall was mentioned over and over by Military.com readers. So, instead of lining up at each cashier like we do at a normal grocery story, most commissaries have one line and then you go to the next available cashier -- kind of like Marshalls on a grand scale.

MercuryNews.com: Ex-Shell Head Warned on Reserves
Report: Associated Press
Mon, Mar. 08, 2004
LONDON - The former head of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group was warned two years ago that the company's reserves were overestimated, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The newspaper, citing unidentified sources, said Sir Philip Watts, who resigned as chairman last week, and other senior managers were warned by executives early in 2002 that the company's accounting of oil and natural gas reserves appeared to be inconsistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines.
Shell declined to comment on the report.
"We're not privy to the work of the Group Audit Committee's review team and it would be inappropriate for us to comment or speculate on their work," said Shell spokesman Matt Samuel, referring to the team probing the reserve revisions.
Shell announced on Jan. 9 that it was reclassifying 20 percent of its proved reserves to less certain, unproved categories.
That announcement prompted the SEC to launch a formal investigation.
Last week, Shell's announced that Watts had resigned "by mutual consent," and so had Walter van de Vijver, Shell's head of exploration and production since 2001.
The Wall Street Journal said the memo circulated two years ago to Watts and other executives suggested that reserves might need to be downgraded by a billion barrels.
In January, Shell cut its proven reserves by 3.9 billion barrels.

Swallow flies into Logicalis UK exec nest
Third boss in 14 months; can he stand the summer heat in Slough?
Logicalis has sworn in acting UK boss Bob Swallow as the permanent MD, vowing to fill the other seats in the senior management team next month.
Swallow moved to the Slough-based system integrator last summer, first as a contractor to restructure sales for the Cisco team and then as sales director from November.
The man has taken to the hot seat after a period of uncertainty for the UK wing of the pan-regional Group, with results dipping off the loss of its largest contracts (Wales PSN) and a wider slowdown in demand for key vendor IBM.
Swallow told us much of the heavy lifting restructuring work was completed by outgoing European president Arnaud Spirlet (he is leaving to run Cisco Benelux). "I don't see us as being in transition anymore, we are in execution [mode]."
Under Spirlet, Logicalis cut ties with all vendors except Big Blue, Cisco, Network Appliance and VMware. And the operation was built around four biz units: data center; networking/comms/security; analytic insights; and IT services (managed, professional and cloud). The services unit was also split across vendors rather than industries.
Swallow added: "There are some things we need to transform, so we've still got some work to do in services, and I think we've still got some people skills either to train or change," he told The Register in a brief interview.
Swallow is the third UK boss at Logicalis since last February when Mark Starkey upped sticks, and Ben Gale lasted just six weeks last autumn.
Other vital roles lying empty include sales director (replacement for Swallow) and services director – but Swallow confirmed the interviews are over and the newbies who were selected will start in the next three weeks.
Swallow has a background in tech stretching back some decades, including senior roles at Siemens Communications and Network Systems, Dimension Data, Datapoint and Chess Telecom. ®

An Easy Guide to Understanding Translation and Localization
In today's competitive world, a growing number of company owners recognize the requirement for diversifying and enlarging their customer base. Offering services and products globally have benefits like increasing revenue and brand presence.
If a business is going global It's crucial for it to be known in different languages. Every business which wants to venture from its territory needs a localization and translation services. That is where localization and translation come in. Both of these terms are often used interchangeably. Knowing their similarities, benefits and differences can help you globalize your business more efficiently and economically.
What Research About Options Can Teach You
Questions About Resources You Must Know the Answers To
Translation refers to altering a first language whilst paying attention to grammatical rules and syntax. You are able to translate manuals, labels, websites, training advertisements and videos . Translations can raise the problem of intent and clarity, as is the case when machine translations are consumed without any human involvement. Because of this, measures are also required by translation such as the hiring of qualified linguists, proofreading, editing and terminology management.
Localization involves moving a step forward of translation and changing the content to appeal more. Its objective is to meet the cultural and functional expectations of the target market, which makes the natives feel as if the solution or service was made for them. As you localize your content, you should think about societal values on topics like relationships and beliefs, and preferences which aren't usually included in translation like colors, styles, shapes, sizes, images, societal codes like etiquette, rituals and myths. Localization also entails the use of measurement of their date formats, including monies, number typeface formats and units.
Practical Cases
Translation and localization can make it necessary for you to make some merchandise changes. As an example, translating a product label from English may mean having to alter packaging, size and the material of your goods. Your advertising campaign might be impacted. Some expressions can be interpreted and used as they are. Others may require you to localize by employing a expression in order to bring out the connotation more obviously. One such example is the term "like father, like son". If the Chinese are the target market, you'd have to use the Chinese equivalent of "creatures do not breed puppies" to convey a similar meaning.
Properly interpreted and localized articles and goods will benefit you in a number of ways. Customers are more likely to purchase your products if they are localized to their own terminology and satisfy the needs. Translation of documentation enables customers to maximize the usage of your products. Brand allure and acceptability of your advertising campaign will also be raised. What is more, products and localized content can make you stick out from the competition.
Localization and translation are crucial to successfully entering foreign markets and increasing your revenue. Make sure you seek translation services from a reputable business.

WHITTIER, Calif. – For the second time this season the Whittier College Men's Basketball team has rolled the University of La Verne as they made quick work of the Leopards during PAC the GAC 95-67.
The Purple & Gold are on a roll winning four straight and have scored at least 90 points over their last three games, while improving to 9-12, 7-5 SCIAC.
16 players saw the court with 15 of them collecting points. Louis Kurihara (Culver City, Calif.) led the offense once again with 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting, while Ryan Henry (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) chipped in with 10 and five boards.
Journey Shank (Burbank, Calif.) and Nick Potthoff (Phoenix, AZ) added sparks off the bench each recording nine points apiece and Jacob Aruta (Stockton, Calif.) shot 50% from the field for eight points in 12 minutes of action.
La Verne held an early lead at 7-6 but that didn't last as the next ten points came from the Purple & Gold moving the score to 16-7. Potthoff knocked down a three-pointer that moved the margin to double digits and it got worse after that as WC put together a 13-1 run late that gave them a 22-pont lead.
Nine points by ULV over the final 2:00 cut into the Poet lead but they still trailed 48-29 at the break. In the second half, the bench earned quality minutes for WC. La Verne found some offense with 38 points but the depth of Whittier was too much as they would go on to add another 47 points over the final 20:00 minutes, which included grabbing a lead as many as 30 at the 6:39 mark.
Whittier finished the game shooting 49% from the field and 30% from behind the three-point line. They were at a 73% clip from the free throw line, outrebounded the Leopards 40-31, added 20 points off turnovers, and won the battle in the paint 34-18.
Whittier returns to action tomorrow night, Wednesday, February 7 when they travel to Chapman University to take on the Panthers beginning at 7:00pm.

A definition of AGENCY (poeto-philosophically)
'I do choose to write the muse of bliss unfolding' :
... ('poetidefinition'? - the poem itself as definition? :)
(... this poem gets me 'there,' to bliss, a little, too :)
... individual, (bodymind) choosing,
writing/language to effect choice,
{choosing bliss},
the Grateful Dead's group bliss choice, as individuals-rock musicians, in society & making money,
Jerry's choosing with awareness to jam so musically coming to 'space,'
choosing to analyze and think about this,
choosing to focus on & generate NEW ways / understandings to access this neurophysiology,
choosing to write (beginning) poetry about how to elicit bliss, in the context of music and traveling ...
involving a sense of freedom
(there's freedom at Harbin (http://harbin.org/) - agency ... explored in going there, in the above poem),
(and in the context of pairbonding and troopbonding, and the idea of bodymind - viz. John Money's Concepts of Determinism,
and so many understandings of culture,
and in a loose context of a psychological, philosophical and societal discourse about 'agency')
are some of what I mean by agency,
'poeto-philosophically' ... :)
... and by neurophysiology,
I have bodymind chemistry in mind,
which MDMA has an effect on (about 75% of folks, I've heard),
to produce 'affective euphoria,'
and loving bliss, in some ways,
self-experienced and enjoyed,
and potentially scientifically measurable (fMRIs?),
in a way that reflects the individual's experience, and what they might say about this ...
The related 'loving bliss' neurophysiological states I'm interested in, however,
as qualities,
are elicitable naturally
(with music, for example)
... as a beginning definition.
Loving bliss is one of the best experiences in life ...
Let's choose it :)
Added new WUaS subject page on Agency (philosophical and sociological) - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Agency - with links to those subject pages, too (related: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/02/orangutan-baby-on-mother-definition-of.html).

Spring Training games start this Friday and there are still so, so many free agents waiting for contracts like they're characters in a Samuel Beckett play that the MLBPA has had to organize its own training camp. Even it seems like it would be about time for teams to start snatching them up, there was certainly no guarantee that anything was going to happen over the weekend, given the frigid nature of the stove this offseason. But, it actually did! There were actually multiple moves! In one weekend!
The Giants signed Tony Watson to a somewhat strange deal, taking the best remaining left-handed reliever off the market. The Red Sox signed Eduardo Núñez to a one-year deal and added infield depth. The Mets took left-handed starter Jason Vargas off the market and added depth to a rotation with plenty of question marks in the health department. That's before we even get to the trades, which included the Twins acquiring RHP Jake Odorizzi from the Rays and the Rays procuring C.J. Cron from the Angels.
We'll put all of these deals (and hopefully the more that are on their way, if *fingers crossed* a signing dam has truly burst) under a microscope soon, as it looks like we might be able to start taking a look at teams' offseason moves as a whole very soon. Today, however, we're here to look at the biggest free agent signing of the weekend: Eric Hosmer signing an eight-year, $144 million deal with San Diego that set multiple records.
It's the biggest total value deal of the offseason, pushing Yu Darvish's six-year, $126 million deal into silver medal position and Hosmer's former teammate Lorenzo Cain's 5-year, $80 million deal into bronze. It's also the biggest contract handed out by the Padres in the history of the franchise, shoving Wil Myers' six-year, $83 million deal from last offseason out of the way. There's plenty of other interesting tidbits to parse, like the fact that Hosmer can opt out after the fifth year and that it's front loaded, which is unusual for contracts with opt-outs, but we'll get there shortly. First, we need to talk about Hosmer.
He's coming off of a season where he hit .318/.385/.498, for a 135 wRC+, put up 4.1 fWAR/4.0 bWAR, and was the 5th best first baseman in MLB by fWAR. Hosmer had a career-best walk-year, and it all led to his agent, the notorious Scott Boras, purportedly pushing for a ten-year, $200 million deal. Unfortunately for Hosmer and Boras, there were a number of factors in play that were almost certainly going to keep that from happening.
This was and remains a less than stellar offseason to be seeking a contract of that stature, given that the biggest-spending teams, the Yankees and Dodgers, are seeking to reset their luxury tax clocks in advance of the much ballyhooed 2018 free agent class. Throw into the pot all the rebuilding teams and the fact that there just wasn't that much demand for first basemen on the market generally, and there was simply no way that Hosmer was going to put Boras' great-great-great-grandchildren through college.
But even in a "normal" offseason, it's not clear that Hosmer would have commanded the kind of contract his agent was pursuing. Since he came up in 2011, Hosmer has failed to string together consecutive seasons of stellar play. Despite having three good to excellent seasons in Kansas City (3.2 fWAR in 2013, 3.5 in 2015 and 4.1 last year), he's only put up 9.9 fWAR in almost 7 full seasons. The defensive stats have never been kind to Hosmer, but even if we discount those, he's still had three rough to average seasons at the plate. With a wRC+ of 80 in 2012, 98 in 2014 and 102 in 2016, it's clear that there are some questions about Hosmer's ability to provide value season in-and-out over a contract of this length.
But then we have to consider the fact that Hosmer is hitting the market at 28 years old, which makes him a particularly young free agent. And, despite the fact that Hosmer is coming off his best season, he also posted career-high BABIP (.351), which suggests that he might have room to improve while he's still in his prime, especially if he can just get the ball in the air a bit more. He's also been remarkably healthy, playing in 162 games last season and averaging over 153 games a season in his six full MLB seasons.
So, Hosmer is a healthy, younger-than-normal free agent who has had some excellent years and some not-so-excellent years and plays a non-premium defensive position (and might not field it particularly well, depending on whom you ask). Points and counterpoints aplenty. Whatever your feelings about him, clearly, Hosmer is a player who, like many others this offseason, should have a contract to play baseball in 2018. The unclear part is what San Diego was thinking when they decided to be the team that had to have him.
The Padres are coming off of a 71-91 season and haven't made the postseason since 2006. They haven't posted a winning record since 2010. They still rank pretty low in terms of on-field talent and will almost certainly miss the postseason next year, given the realities of their division. While GM A.J. Preller's Prellerpalooza didn't work out on its face, he's managed to put a positive spin on a bunch of those moves and convert San Diego's farm system into one of the best in either league. So there's certainly reason to believe that the Friars could be contending, and that could happen sooner rather than later with a few prospect breaks.
But all of that comes with some serious caveats, because (say it with me): prospects gonna prospect. The Padres obviously think that they're going to be playing competitive games late in the season soon, and they might not be wrong. There are definite question marks about the not-too-distant future by every team in the division except the Dodgers, with the Giants in particular looking like they might be set up for a fun night out on the town with some ex-All Stars and an awful hangover to follow . But, as the corollary to "prospects gonna prospect" goes, "baseball gonna baseball," and there's certainly no guarantee that the Padres will be contending any time soon.
San Diego has plenty of payroll to work with, though, and it's not as if they're hamstringing themselves in the same way that other teams would be if they signed Hosmer to this kind of contract. The deal's structuring makes it tantalizing, as well, as Hosmer will make $105 million over the next five seasons, and can then choose to opt out or to make $13 million a year for the final three years of the deal, which will be his age 33 to 36 seasons. How you feel about that kind of deal for those seasons at this point is going to be colored very much by what kind of player you think Hosmer has been to this point.
There are plenty of other repercussions for the product that San Diego will put on the field in 2018 (and beyond). Myers is going to have to move back to the outfield, which probably isn't the best idea in terms of getting the most out of their defense, but it also opens up the door for trades out of their now-crowded outfield. Since trading players is the new signing players, San Diego might be able to work on addressing their pitching situation for the life of Hosmer's contract now.
Grade for Hosmer: A
Hosmer may not have gotten the $200 million that Boras was after for him, but it was always unlikely that was going to happen. First basemen are valued differently than they used to be and this was not a good year to be a free agent, much less one who plays first base. In light of all of that, though, Hosmer still came away with a deal that pays him a seemingly reasonable amount for his prime and then lets him opt out if he plays like the kind of player Boras has suggested he will or pays out some decline insurance if he doesn't. It's hard not to see this deal as a win for Hosmer in the current contractual environment.
Grade for Padres: C+
While I am certainly inclined to give the Padres a whole bunch of points for signing a player to a contract that is in the realm of what said player deserved, I'm not entirely sure that I'm ready to fully endorse the deal. If I could give the Padres an "incomplete" grade here, that's probably what I would do. It's great that a small market team is actually choosing to spend money at a time when that appears to be anathema.
It also seems like a pretty hefty wager on Preller's part to commit this much salary for so long when you're still waiting on prospect eggs to hatch. If the Padres graduate some more prospects, flirt with .500 this season and sign Manny Machado next offseason, all while Hosmer puts in his first of multiple consecutive seasons of his best self, then I reserve my baseball-god-given right to remove this article and make you find it on the Wayback Machine. Until then, though, it's a rather large contract for a player with some question marks by a team with a bunch of question marks, so it's difficult to be extremely excited about it, even if I approve of it in theory.

I'm so sorry for the poor updating! I had the best time in Chicago, and ever since I got back I've been busy busy busy working my ass off trying to make a little money before I go back to NY.
When I arrived home I found a wonderful package from Lulus.com! I opened it to find these three incredible items. I couldn't be happier with them.
First Outfit: LULU's exclusive party don't stop ivory dress
this dress is absolutely beautiful. It is so soft and comfortable, yet the sheer cutouts make it sexy at the same time. I can't wait to wear it alllll the time. The website has some other beautiful LWDs (little white dresses) too! For example, these three dresses!
Second Outfit: Long Story Short Lace Periwinkle Blue Top
this is now one of my all time favorite tops. I had been drooling over it for so so long and it's finally mine! You've probably noticed how much I love backless dresses or back cutouts, and this top definitely feeds my obsession. And it's absolutely stunning from the front too, which makes it 10x better.
Third Outfit: Dream of the '90s black suspender skirt
ugh this skirt is just too perfect. I've always wanted a suspender skirt, but I could never find one that I loved enough to buy. This one is absolutely gorgeous, though. It really suits my occasional grungy style. Perfect to wear with combat boots and a pair of stunner shades. It's also super comfy. I didn't want to take it off!
Before I leave, I have a 15% off coupon code for everyone in the US and Canada to use on Lulu's website! The code is MEGAN and it's case sensitive. It's valid site wide through August 10th, so hurry!

My, my! It's been over a month since my blog has seen my presence.
My sister got married and has settled down to housekeeping in their darling little house. Babies have been born, and a whole lot of other stuff has occurred. Enough to keep me constantly living life and not finding time to tell you about it. But soon, but soon... (I know, I keep saying that.)
There are so very many wedding pictures to post just as soon as we get our computer back with Adobe Photoshop. Blogging is on my to-do list, I promise. Today you'll have to be happy with this one sneak preview picture... Jemima and all of her sisters. :)
For now, I shall have to let this little post from a laptop without wedding photos suffice... Because there's so much to say but not nearly enough time to get started tonight. Because the soup for tomorrow's church lunch is cooling just a bit longer and I need to clean up the table littered with cake-baking mess and see if I can get to bed before it is tomorrow.
"Oh how great is Thy goodness, which thou hast wrought for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee.... Blessed be the Lord: for He hath shewed me His marvelous kindness..." Psalm 31: 19, 21

High-Rise Painting & Commercial Painting
Paint plays a vital role in the preservation of structures to seal out moisture, protect from U.V. damage and seal in evaporates. We understand the importance of proper preparation, the types of specialty coatings needed for each surface and the professional application methods needed to ensure the preservation of painted surfaces.Often, Paint must be removed prior to repainting or sometimes it is desirable to be removed entirely from the structure. We will use the method best suited for each application such as stripping, blasting, pressure washing or scraping.

I think I've just developed a philosophical Theory of Everything, which is completely based on science and logical truths (statements which can not be false under any circumstance, like "Either Stephen Harper is the Prime Minister or Stephen Harper is not the Prime Minister") and from which I can derive a complete set of ethics, morals, theory of being, and answer to any philosophical question you care to name.
Well, considering I just thought this up which doing the dishes, it might not be as concrete as I make it sound, but I have confident in it nonetheless.
Since I don't believe that there is anything close to "research" or "discovery" in philosophy, it's a bit strange that I care so much about it. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if somebody's already came up with the same idea. But that's all part of the theory.
I love tautologies.
Perhaps I should save it for my PhD thesis.


text: teen dating violence Sights & Sounds Weekly: 5/12/16 By Chris Hambrick • May 12, 2016 Courtesy of the artist/ Resized and cropped Sights & Sounds is your weekly guide to the Bay Area arts scene through the eyes and ears of local artists. Our guest is Natasha Huey: poet and teaching artist for youth through Performing Arts Workshop. Her poetry students from Galileo High school will perform in the Rhythm and Rhymes, youth showcase at Brava Theater later this month. Understanding and Preventing Teen Dating Violence in the Bay Area By City Visions • Jun 5, 2012 For many of us, adolescent romance conjures images of little more than awkward kisses, missed curfews, and outsized phone bills. But recent data reveal a much darker reality: young adults experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence of any age group. A study released in March of more than 1400 seventh graders found that more than one in three reported experiencing psychological dating violence, and almost one in six reported being physically hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Josie Gibson shot to fame in 2010 when she won the final Big Brother series broadcast on Channel Four, polling 77.5% of the public vote – the largest winning margin on any Big Brother Series.
During her time in the house, Josie never faced the public vote, which she puts down to her warm, bubbly, friendly character and she is widely recognised as one of the most popular housemates ever to have featured on the show.
Josie has always worked hard, something which has continued since leaving the Big Brother house, becoming an OK! TV presenter and OK! agony aunt; appearing in two of her own reality TV shows
- "JJJ What Happened Next" and "There's Something About Josie"; launching her own perfume; writing magazine columns for the likes of NOW; working as a plus-size model; recording voiceovers; working as a Celebrity Wedding Planner; appearing on Celebrity Impossible, Gino & Mel – Lets do Lunch, The Wright Stuff, Silent Library, Wagons Den, Celebrity Juice, Live From Studio Five, The Vanessa Show, OK! TV, 8 out of 10 Cats, wildlife presenter on Live With…, Loose Women; and also appearing as the Genie of the Lamp in her hometown pantomime in front of crowds of 2000 at the Bristol Hippodrome.
All this on top of countless magazine deals. Big Brother may have catapulted Josie into the limelight but she has worked relentlessly, and not looked back
Josie was always a curvy girl, ranging from a size 16 to a size 20, something the media always commented on, so she finally decided to do something about it and found a system called "30 Second Slim" with personal trainer James Stark, a fellow Bristolian. Josie trained with James 3-4 times a week and changed her diet to what she likes to call the "Josie Cave Man Diet". She is now a size 10 and has released a fitness DVD called "30 Second Slim", which is designed to help other people achieve their fitness and weight goals. She is also busy working on her own clothing line, and is also the face of Pearly Whites Ltd.
After living in London for two years Josie moved back to Bristol, missing her hometown. She lives in the city with her partner Luke who is a plumber, and with whom she has renovated two houses. Josie is always on the look out for new business ventures and enjoys nothing more than seeing the results of her hard work, something which motivated her to drop five dress sizes in under six months! Josie loves keeping fit and enjoys country walks with her dog Roxy.
A dedicated family girl, she is the eldest of six children from single mum Mandy, and loves spending time with her three brothers, two sisters and her Aunt Kay and cousins. Josie's happy disposition and positive approach to life inspires everyone who meets her, and her down-to-earth upbringing has kept her grounded right through the exciting changes that came with overnight fame.
Josie is very kind-natured and genuine and has used her fame to good effect. On leaving the Big Brother house, she donated £20,000 from her prize money to the charity CLIC Sargent which helped build a special ward in Bristol for children with cancer. Josie lost her Aunty Marie to cancer at the age of 14, and she has continued to support the charity ever since. She has also worked with Meningitis UK, raising money through abseiling and charity walks.
This is another charity close to Josie, having nearly lost her brother Harry to meningitis when he was three. The disease left Harry profoundly deaf and he too likes to help out with the charity. Josie has also helped with auctions and fundraising for the Jessie May Trust a local children's charity in Bristol, and she recently returned from Africa with Madventurer, an organisation that helps improve the lives of children in Ghana.
Being able to make a small difference to these people's lives fulfils a lifelong dream for Josie and she throws herself wholeheartedly into every event and project she supports. In her view, the best gift you could ever give to a child is an education, and if her new found fame can help her to do that, then she feels she has won a thousand times over.

Day two started out with beautiful weather. The campers made their way down the hill after an early breakfast and cleated up for the morning session. After the campers went through a mental toughness exercise they went over throwing technique and were helped by the counselors individually. An extensive camp warm up led into a few drills to practice the throwing techniques they learned earlier. Once broken into teams they went through a few drills and then scrimmaged before a few hill sprints to end the morning session.
Following lunch the campers stayed with their teams and went through a rotation of drills learning about deep cutting, defensive position, and marking. After their drills the teams went straight into scrimmaging followed by a short workout before dinner with plenty of breaks for water and shade. After dinner the tournament teams were announced and the campers competed for the chance to pick what jersey color they will have for the week. This night is always full of enthusiasm and tonight was no different.

Just like Junsu, Junho has been releasing his own works like "Give It to Me", and his various musical talents have been recognized by many. During 2PM's 'Hands Up Asia Tour', Junho had performed "Move On" as a special track with Wooyoung, which earned the explosive response of many.

JYP Entertainment expressed, "Following Junsu, Junho has ranked first on the 'Recochoku' chart. We're always thankful for the fans that support 2PM. The Best of Korea album that was released on March 14th is receiving a reaction that exceeds our expectations. We'll always work our hardest to come back with good news."

The Hallucinated
Community College of the Mobile Academy
The Blackmarket for Usefull Knowledge and Non-Knowledge is a temporary
production and showroom in which narrative formats of knowledge
mediation will be tried out and presented. Between 12 to 100 individual
tables are occupied by experts (natural scientists, craftsmen, artists,
philosophers, and neighbours) who are being invited to offer a portion
of their knowledge that can be told and learned in 30 minutes. The
audience (rather a customer on this evening) will be able to book
an expert and his or her offer of knowledge for a half-hour, and
to acquire this knowledge or ability in a mutual dialogue. Furthermore,
the audience can choose among several experts/knowledge service
personnel (12 to 120) and get checked in for several half-hour conversations.
In this way, a hallucinated community college will be produced in
which learning and unlearning, knowledge and non-knowledge, and
strategies of living and surviving will change ownership in a non-institutional
way. The transfer of knowledge as a communicative and performative
act will become a collectivly, whispered story of knowledge on this
night, all of this taking place in the theater, the originary location
of public debate.
The 21. Century is regarded as the age of Information, in which
knowledge takes the part of an economical, political and cultural
resource. The idea
of knowledge as a continually growing and spontaneously retrievable
entity mhowever, does not take into account the performative character
of knowledge
nor does it acknowledge its borders or the radical changes that
the idea has experienced throughout history. Knowledge - it seems
- needs to be seen as a
hybrid concept. As a form of storage it works with principles of
representation, discourse, and archive. As a form of performance
it use techniques, practices, and experiences in/of the body of
the learning individual. Finally knowledge appears as mirror-image
of its seeming opposite: ignorance and belief. These two have to
be acknowledged as constitutive parts and imaginary borders of the
field of knowledge in order
to reflect their importance in the production and distribution of

Calibration Tower Probe Crash
Discussions related to the Rostock MAX v2

Calibration Tower Probe Crash
When I run G29 to calibrate my max v2 with upgraded HE280 the probe works fine for the x and y towers but then crashes into the bed when it probes the z tower. I had this issue before with the x tower but it would go away after the calibration continued and the probe sensitivity was increased. Any idea as to why this is happening and how to correct it? I have seen some similar issues on the forum but haven't found a solution that works for me. Thanks

Re: Calibration Tower Probe Crash
What version of the firmware (what date, actually) are you running? If you're not running the latest, I'd clear the EEProm and update before anything else. Assuming that doesn't fix it or you're already on the latest version, can you post the log from the terminal when it's doing this?

Report: Google Prepping Google Play Gift Cards
Google Play gift cards could make great holiday gifts this year, assuming that rumors of their existence are true.
According to Android Police, which cited evidence in a new Google Play APK, Google is preparing to release gift cards for its app store.
Earlier this year, Google added the ability for Nexus 7buyers to keep a store balance, Android Police said, which sparked speculation that gift cards might be on the way.
"What I have here today is more than concrete," Android Police's Artem Russakovskii said. "It's solid evidence."
Embedded in the APK code, Russakovskii found that the store is set to intercept links to play.google.com/redeem, which currently provides a "404 page not found" error.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Among the possible features to connect the mobile store with a gift card is the wishlist capability, where users can add apps, TV show, movies, music, books, and magazines. "Maybe later it can turn into a cart," he said, suggesting that users may be able to add content into a list and then buy it later, perhaps with those gift cards.
"I don't know when," Russakovskii said, "but we're likely close if Google decided to unleash the hounds and release the Play Store apk in the wild." He guessed that the company will wait to announce the new feature during an event, or after the latest version of the online store has rolled out to everyone, which could take days or weeks, he said.

"Daniel Hechter," available online at www.hechtermontres.com , 6June 2001.
Daniel Hechter was one of the first designers to recognize the commercial viability of lifestyle dressing and has marketed the concept with enormous success, today exporting to some 47 countries and licensing goods in the U.S., South America, Europe, Australia, and Canada. In many ways, he provided the inspiration for the 1980s' explosion of lifestyle concepts in retailing.
Hechter identified his particular market as including the young, sometimes married with children, upwardly mobile 20-to 30-somethings, who may not have the income to finance the designer lifestyle and fashionable appearance to which they aspire. As a mass market designer, it is essential to be able to perceive what is right for the moment, particularly when dealing with the fickle youth-oriented market. Hechter's taste and style have often been directed by the unpredictable forces of pop, club, and street culture, and his business rapidly prospered because of his adaptability and speed.
Born into a family who owned a ready-to-wear company, Hechter was brought up in an environment sympathetic to fashion. He worked for designer Pierre d'Alby from 1958 before opening his own house in 1962 with friend Armand Orustein. The company opened with a womenswear collection that captured the developing need of the 1960s—young, fun, and sometimes throwaway. He produced sweaters, maxi coats, trouser suits, smoking jackets, gabardine raincoats, and boot top-length divided skirts. His casual jersey and ribbed duffle coats and greatcoats emphasized his skills for sophisticated unisex outerwear, sporty yet wearable and stylish.
The business grew to incorporate many areas of fashion and clothing design, producing shoes, sunglasses, school uniforms, corporate wear, and tennis and ski clothes. He also moved into designing for the home, broadening his lifestyle concepts by producing household linens furniture, crystal stemware, and patterns for china place settings. Other additions to the Hechter line were men's fragrances: Caractére in 1989, promoted as a simple, warm scent, and XXL in 1996, said to have a woodsy, energetic character.
The company has been a regular employer of fashion design graduates from all over the world. Hechter believes this inserts a continual flow of fresh ideas and invigorates the Daniel Hechter image. The company exports goods and has numerous licensing contracts throughout the world, as well as operating its own boutiques in nearly every Western European country, one in Russia, fourteen in Asia or the Middle East, three in Africa, two in South America, and two in the United States. The company is looking toward Eastern Europe for further expansion. The success of the business has sparked Hechter's creative flow—he developed a new line of clothing using natural fabrics called DH 621. The products were first launched in Israel in 1994 and spread to Asia from there. Hechter says the clothing falls between casual and sportswear and costs a bit less than his other lines.
Hechter attributes his success to his practical, matter-of-fact approach to design. He displays none of the airs or temperament associated with the stereotypical fashion designer. In fact, Hechter has allowed his personal interests to shape and extend the direction of the company. Sports have been a lifelong passion, and in 1972 he cofounded the Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. Years later, in 1998, he designed the streetwear for the French Soccer World Cup team. His support of tennis with over 20 years of annual parties during the French Open led to a request from the French Tennis Federation for him to create the umpires' outfits in 1993.
Hechter has also dabbled in politics, sitting on the Marseilles Regional Council since 1992. In 1997 he moved to Geneva, Switzerland, and wrote a novel entitled Le Boss, published in 2000. Daniel Hechter has used his personal experiences to perceive and fill voids left by others in the fashion world.

Seoul Forest is one of my favorite parks in Seoul. While the name may be a misnomer (There are trees there but a forest? Hmmm…), there is just a ton of stuff to do there.
You wanna ride a bike? For 3,000 won you can rent one. Or bring your own. There are plenty of paths to ride on.
You want to look a bugs? Sure thing. Head to the fantastic insect house, my kids favorite part of the park. It's got some bugs in there, frogs, fish, a tortoises, crabs, butterflies, and more. The place is great. Way better than the COEX Aquarium, in my opinion, because A) it's free and B) not NEARLY as crowded. There are also some neat plants.
You wanna feed some animals? Done. There's a little small animal area where you can feed rabbits and guinea pigs. If you think about it, bring some of those baby carrots for the animals and prepare to be the most beloved grown-up around.
Wanna feed a bigger animal? Sure! There's deer feeding just down the way from the small animal park. Follow the babbling brook, go under the overpass and you're at the deer area. You can buy food there for about 1000won and at certain times of day they will allow you to walk into the deer enclosure. The kids LOVED this.
Check out the tongue on that thing!
You're tired now, right? If you need a quick pick-me-up there's a convenience store around the corner…Go back to the overpass and hang a left and keep going a little while. You'll see it at the building where the bridge ends. (By a big open lawn perfect for picnicking). They've got the ubiquitous ramen cups, bags of chips and a little cafe with coffee and egg sandwiches which look better than they actually are. (Weird sweet sauce in there.)
Okay, it doesn't look that delicious…
* Tip! … If you wanna order the coffee / egg sandwiches, signal the cashier at the convenience store and order there first, otherwise you will be waiting in a very long line for nothing. Yes, I found out the hard way.
Let's continue to the playground.
The playground!
I've been to a lot of playgrounds in my day, but let me just say, this one is primo. No, it's not super shiny, glossy, new, but it has two awesome things…
This. An amazing climbable sculpture. (Seriously, if I had any kind of photography skills I'd love Seoul Forest. Picture-taking opportunities abound at every turn.)
And this slide. My kids could just not get enough of it! I mean seriously, don't you love that rope climb up?
Oh, you think we are done?? No people, there's more…
If you are an art-lover or photographer, feast your eyes on the sculpture park.
I'll bet it looks great now that it's spring.
Oh, and I almost forgot the splash park! It wasn't working the times we've been because of the cold, but I can't wait for this! Anyway, I'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch more to Seoul Forest that I haven't seen yet, but hey, gotta leave you guys to your own discoveries. Have a great time!
*Tips: #1) If you have a bike or scooter, bring it. It's a big park with lots of area to cover, so can come in handy if you are with kids and want to go from point A to point B with a minimum of whining.
#2) If you get there before noon, you should be able to find a parking spot. Can get crowded later in the day though.
Information: The Parks of Seoul website is excellent for Seoul Forest information and park info around Seoul.
Hours: Park is open 24 a day (but parking lot 9am-10pm). Eco Forest 7am-8pm summer / 8am-6pm winter. Insect House CLOSED MONDAYS other days 10am-5pm. Splash Park open in the summertime 11am, 1pm, 3pm, and 5 pm(open 1 hour each time.)
685, Seongsu1-ga 1-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
서울 성동구 성수1가1동 685번지 일대
By car, Seoul Forest is about a 15 minute drive from Yongsan going toward Hannam Village in light traffic. You could even take a walk or ride a bike along the riverwalk to there. (My friend's 5yo did it, don't know if my kids could hang with that kind of ride though!)
*From Yongsan commissary gate — Turn right and veer left up the hill toward Banpo Bridge. Stay in the right lanes like you are going UNDER the bridge, but DON'T go under the bridge. Stay to the right lane and the road will "T". Make a left at the "t". You'll be on the road following the river. It will take you past Oksu, over some water and under a tunnel all the way to Seoul Forest parking lot at Gate 15.
*Leaving Seoul Forest — turn right out of Gate 15 and IMMEDIATELY get into the left lane to make a U-Turn at the 1st light. Once you have made a U-Turn, follow the same road used above all the way back to Yongsan, entering at the Visitor's Gate #13.
Parking is available for 600won/10min. You can use the automated machine before the parking lot or at the gate itself to pay for parking (credit card or T-Money transportation card accepted). Be sure to know/remember the last 4 digits of your license plate.
By Subway, Line 2 to Ttukseom Station Exit 8
Payment: FREE!

Balloon Printing
In my other printing post, I told you to look in unexpected places for things to print with. I found balloons. All you have to do is blow them up a little bit, about the size of a baseball. Then rubber band it shut, don't tie it, because then you can use it over again. Make sure you have a paper towel and baby wipes handy.
Now get a piece of cardstock or something to paint on. Pour a bit of paint out and dab the balloon into it. Get some of the excess paint off by dabbing the balloon on a separate piece of paper. Now have some fun creating cool textured cards.
And here is the finished product.
I added lightning to this to make it look like a storm. I hope this proves useful!

Another Wall Letter
Two or three months ago I made a wall letter to go on our wall. No, I didn't just paint one that I bought, I
one. And I am never doing it again. I made it out of cardboard, cereal boxes, paint, paper-mache, and lots of tape. It took me so long to make... oh the memories. Anyway, in the process I learned an awesome trick; the opposite of stressing wood. I really wanted that distressed look, but you can't sand card board and paper mache. Here is the result of all the work:
Paint your
store bought
(don't dare to make one) letter dark brown (I used Apple Barrel's Burnt Umber)
Take an old rag and rub black shoe polish
on the edges of the letter
Hang it on the wall to admire.
Enjoy your new work of art! And if you really do want to make your own letter out of cardboard, you can, because I did it, and I only 12 (it just takes a lot of patience)

Major Bedroom Redo: My New Comforter!
After all the quilt searching I finally found one! I think I am really picky, but I can't help it. I'm so glad I found it because I had been mourning about the quilt that was out of stock. Look how cute it is (this is the old one that was out of stock)!
And now, my new comforter!!! It is exactly what I wanted! I got it at Target and its by Xhilaration. I also got a green chair to match, all the college dorm stuff is out right now, so its the perfect time to be bedroom shopping.

Finally gettin the chance to blog again after crazy holidays. Alot has happened in a month or since my last blog. Preperation for Christmas was alot of fun except for the procrastinator drive to the mall two days before christmas. The funny things you do for loved ones. Our boy Rocket made out. His second Christmas in this world and the one to remember. He lucked out having a white Christmas. What a cool thing for a kid...hell anyone to see, especially waking up to it on Christmas morning. We had all our food and drink for the weekend. All the toys were about to be wrapped. Good stuff. Christmas enters the picture in a whole new way when you have a child. Rocket is religous about getting up at 5 am so I knew it to be true for Christmas morning. Coffee was prepped with the baileys(Santa left it) right next to the coffee pot. Mugs out and ready for the early morn. We woke up to daddda.....maammmma. Turned on the coffee, Christmas lights, and watched innocence in its true form. I sware the boy is a truck fanatic. All kinds of trucks. He strutted around in his new camoflauge robe and kermit slippers laughin and playin. It was awsome!! Usually this time Ana and I are really stressin about Jan and Feb. Comin off Chritmas with two more months before our show season starts up again is stressful. We had an awsome fall season. My work is rapidly evolving. So much it gets a little scary. One idea just turns to another and another. Watching Rocket play with his new toys and experience his Christmas made me take a seat and be thankful for what is in front of me. I think rockets curiosity to start exploring and growing is rubbing off on my attitude towards my work. Learning how to tap into the courage to explore my own curiosity has stretched me as an artist. I' wont lie, its taken me out of the comfort zone a little. But more than ever because of watching my son grow, my courage to be curious about my work in clay and explore even more has transformed my whole outlook. What it means to be a potter and an artist. Theres alot more to this last month than im puttin in to this blog, but it was all good. Everyones healthy except for the occasional runny nose. Have been lining workshops for the new year and lots of cool shows. Get to go to New York City for one and really excited about that. I still have pots for sale on my website http://www.shadowpottery.com/ and will have most to all events and workshops up to date on the website as well. Thanks to everyone who helped us through this past year. You've catapulted my little family, my work and need to create. we can't do it without you. Another blog coming soon.

Jennifer Lopez, Beau 'Casper' Smart split, report says
Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez and boyfriend Beau "Casper" Smart, who have had an on-and-off relationship since 2011, reportedly have broken up.
People magazine said Wednesday that the two have not been together for several weeks. Lopez, 47, and dancer-choreographer Smart previously split in spring 2014, but in January of this year Lopez told talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres that the two had reconciled.
"Shades of Blue" star Lopez has two children, twins Max and Emme, 8, with her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony. She and the Grammy Award-winner were married from 2004 until separating in 2011 and divorcing there years later. She was married twice previously — to waiter Ojani Noa in 1997 and dancer Chris Judd in 2001.
Neither Lopez nor Smart have commented publicly.

Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
Miss Kaelyn is off to great places! Her first day and I'm already weepy! Just thinking back to her first day of Kindergarten and I was so excited for her to begin her new chapter in life, this day is REALLY a new chapter in her ever-changing world. She is one smart tigger, but she will always be our bunny!
Big girl in her pretty sundress! She chose a ham sandwich, juicy juice, carrots, and goldfish for her lunch and she was VERY specific on what she wanted. Of course, she's part Cathony.
Standing in Ms. Talgo's line with her fellow classmates. And of course it was super bright so squinty eyes were inevitable.
And in they went! Off to school at 8:30! Hello Kitty seems to be the only thing she likes to choose for herself, I was able to tone it down with a plain pink lunchbox.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
Kid, you'll move mountains!
So…be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ale Van Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!
-Dr. Seuss
