Five years ago I was in shock at this hour. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we had been to church, eaten lunch, and were looking for an end of the season deal on snowboards. Makenzie had on a little sun dress, and white sandals with beads that changed purple in the sun. Her hair was tightly pulled into two pigtails and a nap was calling her name so we were on our way out to the truck to head home when tragedy struck.
By this time on March 25th 2007 Makenzie had a breathing tube, two IV's in her shins, two IV's in her arms, a ride in an ambulance, stabilization in an ER, a trip from one roof to another in a helicopter, and was laying in a bed, lifeless, in the PICU, hooked up to more wires then I could count. My only girl. At this hour five years ago my daughter was still alive, she was breathing over the vent, and the fact that Makenzie may have brain damage had just struck me. The words had not been spoken but for some reason after all the tests on the rest of her organs came back more or less ok I realized that the one organ I had overlooked even worrying about was Makenzie's brain.
The waiting room was finally quiet and at this hour I found myself sitting next to my baby wondering if she was ever going to be alright again. Would she walk or talk again. Would she giggle and play.
Today, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in 2012 Makenzie is alright. She is not the same little girl as she was before March 25th 2007 but somehow, five years later that doesn't even matter to me anymore. Makenzie is happy. She is healthy. She heals more and more every day. She doesn't walk..... she drives, she talks..... just not with her mouth. She sits and takes in life...... from her wheelchair. She ALWAYS has a smile on her face and giggles come constantly. Makenzie is more then alright! She is amazing!
Year number four was an amazing year. We moved, got a van with a ramp, Makenzie went back to school, learned how to use a talker with eye gaze and how to drive a power chair. She leaned how to walk well in her walker, and started school..... again. This year we got on the waiver and added some therapies as well as started the process to remodel our bathrooms. Makenzie is thriving on a blended diet and her reflux is under control.
God's plan and peace has been shown to me so much over the last year. I can not even remember the last time I felt the sadness a guilt over what happened to Makenzie. I am so full of acceptance that my heart could burst. I do not look at other little girls Makenzie's age and wonder what she might have been like anymore. I do not feel the need to try every new treatment I find. I see Makenzie as perfect. God's plan is perfect and even though five years ago my plan was very different then God's, today I feel our plans are much more the same then they are different.
Today we celebrated life, We celebrated with friends and family. The kids ran and played. Makenzie drove her power chair in the park and talked to her guests with her talker. Makenzie giggled and laughed. We ate, and talked, and celebrated the life of each person who walked through the door!
My heart is so full tonight. Today was AMAZING!
Thanks to all of you who have supported us over the last 5 years and thanks for being such a huge part of making this day so beautiful! God is SO good!!!!!
(pictures coming soon from an amazing friend and photographer who was kind enough to document this day for us!)
Happy Miracle Day Makenzie!!!

Makenzie's Miracle Day
Five years ago I was in shock at this hour. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we had been to church, eaten lunch, and were looking for an end of the season deal on snowboards.

A Taste of Summer!
I started out this week with a chip on my shoulder. There was a series of events involving two huge organizations, political red tape, and the feeling of discrimination that left me bitter and irritated. I sat with a glass of wine one evening early in the week and wrote a post into the wee hours of the morning. I was delirious and angry. That post is still sitting as a draft and may never get published. Only time will tell.
I woke up the next morning to a post on another blog about God letting us start new every morning. A fresh start and another chance. I looked over my post. Spell checked it and decided that for now I am going to let it go and instead focus on the blessings in my life. Sometimes life isn't fair and for today that is ok!
It has been BEAUTIFUL around here. The snow is gone and the kids managed to find many things to do outside! A friend came over for dinner one night this week and we sat on the back deck watching the kids play ball, and climb trees in the park. As the sun started to disappear in the horizon I realized that it was that perfect time of day to snap a few pictures..... OUTSIDE! I was so excited to even have a willing participant. (my kids tend to hide behind anything available when I pull out my camera)
The next next evening was just as beautiful so again we found ourselves in the park. This time with Makenzie and the power chair. Oh did we have so much fun! There was a team practicing football and Makenzie was bound and determined to show them how it was done! I tried to keep her put of the way but several times I let her get close enough to the action that they had to pause to wait for her to move. Oh what a blessing!
Here is a short video I took. Makenzie is still learning but she is doing SO well!!!
I am so ready for summer to be here! I am so grateful for a new start every morning! Life may not be fair all the time but it sure is good!!!
Believe.... Prayer Works!

Sick of Being Sick
I am so sick of cold and flu season.
At least one of my kids has been sick for the last 3 weeks and I am done!
Then there are the schools...... at which everyone is also sick.There is a stomach bug going around and part of me is grateful that Makenzie has only been to school three days in three weeks! They had 4 days off, Makenzie was sick, her aide was sick, her aide's kid was sick, and now I am trying to decide if I am just going to keep her home until this all dies down because I am done with sick!!!!
It is a hard call for me because Makenzie LOVES school! She learns so much but if she gets sick.... which she will because everyone else is sick...... she will be home anyways....... sick...... not healthy. So do I keep her home healthy in hopes of keeping her healthy or send her to school and cross my fingers that somehow she will avoid getting another nasty cold or stomach bug.....so far this season we have had the "just a virus", the flu times three, strep throat times two, a sinus infection..... have I told you that I am done with sick!?
Other then that life has bee good. Makenzie is happy and all is well!
Tonight I am tired. I have decided to purge the clutter from my house and somehow it looks more like a bomb went off instead of the clean, calm, mess free home I had envisioned. I guess it has to get worse before it gets better right?
Tonight I was also reminded how much love and understanding my boys have for their sister! They are turning into amazing young men and while the last 5 years have been hard they have sure gained so much in the love, compassion, and acceptance department!
I asked Mr. 10 to sit with his sister while I made her bed. This is what I found when I walked back into the room....... priceless!
and then he told me that he wanted to put Makenzie to bed. Other then myself, Mr 10 is the only other person who can get Makenzie off to dream land effectively!
Now I am off to get Makenzie's water and night meds together, fold some laundry and hopefully get some sleep!
Believe.... Prayer Works!

Contagious Laughter
No words necessary!

Picture WordPower
Makenzie shared her cold with mommy but sick doesn't slow us down!
A couple of days ago I started Makenzie on an antibiotic after her congestion did not let up and began to thicken and become colorful. By halfway through the next day a runny nose with no end in sight had all but dried up!
The last few days have been busy but not. Everyone had Thursday and Friday off of school. Mr 14 left with my mom on Wednesday night and headed for a long weekend to Washington DC to visit the White House and many other historic places! I can't wait to hear all about it!!!
Yesterday Makenzie had therapy but other then that we kind of just laid low and enjoyed not have anything to do.
This afternoon we had back to back appointments from about 1pm until 5:30pm.
Our first appoint was speech therapy. When Makenzie got her Dynavox Eyemax I customized a user area for her. However recently it was determined that there was not enough words to keep up with Makenzie's progress. The therapist and I discussed the options and we decided that instead of programing each and every word into the user area and then having to revamp the current navigation system we decided to with a sentence generation software called Picture WordPower.
This software is set up to give access to vocabulary as well as to generate sentences instead of being categorically based which is what Makenzie has been using. However we are not ready to give up the categories just yet nor was the software set up well for eye gaze. I got to work modifying 210 separate pages to work for Makenzie.
I first had to take it out of a USER file so that I could add it to Makenzie current User Area. I began with exporting 210 pages and then creating a package that I could import into Makenzie user area. Then I made a link on Makenzie's main page to access the Picture WordPower area.
Once opened on her talker this is what the original set up looked like on the main page.
There were a couple of issues with this set up for Makenzie as an eye gaze user. The first issue was that every square inch was used leaving no place for Makenzie to rest her eyes. So I modified each of the 210 pages. First I modified the vocabulary to meet Makenzie's needs and limited what was showing to 42 buttons.. After the vocab made since I took one row of buttons off the left side and two rows off the right side, and then re centered each page.
The next issue I had was that the software was set up to only speak words when you added a period to the end of your sentences. Now Makenzie is smart but there was no way she was going to understand that she was picking words with no output that were then put in the message window that would speak if she ended the sentence. So I then had to go in and tell the software to speak each word on 210 pages. There are some tricks in the programing to this so with the exception of a few buttons on each page I was able to reprogram a whole page at a time.
I also changed the placement of the pop ups, made a few new pop ups, and pulled much of my hair out during this process!
BUT................... it was SO worth all of the time.................because........................
Makenzie is doing really well with her new Picture WordPower. She is still exploring the new page set, figuring out what each button says and where things are. She has begun to put two words, that make since, together at one time. One day I will get it on camera but I am going to have to get sneaky because every time I take out the camera Makenzie thinks she need to look at it and smile! It is very hard to use your eyes to make choices when you are looking at a camera and not your talker.
However I did get a bit of video this afternoon before Makenzie caught the camera out of the corner of her eye.
I am so dang proud of my little girl!
I have so much more to say but I will do so in another post! There are many great things going on around here and so many things coming up in the next couple of months! I really can't wait to share!
Believe..... Prayer Works!
Ps I have received several e-mails in the last few days. I want you to know that I got them and I have not forgotten you! With everything going on I have just not had enough time to sit down and compose my thoughts! I will. I promise!

Next week, several abortion restrictions will go into effect statewide. But, as Arizona Public Radio's Ryan Heinsius reports, the laws are currently being challenged in federal court.
Planned Parenthood Arizona is attempting to block a provision that limits drug-induced abortions in the state. Next Tuesday, that regulation will go into effect along with several others passed by the Arizona Legislature in 2012.
Among the changes, the new law would enforce 14-year-old U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards regarding dosage of mifepristone, or RU-486. Currently, many doctors use a smaller amount of the drug than the USDA recommends, but which can be given two weeks later in pregnancy.
Supporters of the restrictions claim the new laws address patient safety. But, Bryan Howard, president of Planned Parenthood Arizona, says medication abortion is preferred because it is a simpler process and given earlier in pregnancy.
"About half of all women in the eligible timeframe in pregnancy choose this method as an alternative to surgical abortion. Just on that basis alone, it's important that women have this option," Howard said.
Last month, Planned Parenthood's Flagstaff clinic again began offering medication abortions more than two years after halting the practice. It's the state's only location where the drug is available outside of metro Phoenix and Tucson. If the new abortion laws take effect next week, drug-induced abortions could be inaccessible in northern Arizona.

RAW:Natural Born Artists is an international organization that aims to unite local fashion designers, musicians, and artists of all ilks. Their most recent Phoenix showcase, entitled CURRENT (yes, all caps) made its way to the Monarch Theatre on November 19. We were there to check it out.
There was something refreshing about CURRENT. RAW was established to help creatives with less than 10 years of experience succeed by providing exposure, community, and support. Some of the works featured were clearly by amateurs; others demonstrated a higher level of sophistication. While there were certainly some ubiquitous visual art exhibitions (can we just get over photographing desert landscapes and vintage signs? Please?), there were plenty of others that were visually striking, intellectually compelling, or simply beautiful.
See also: Phoenix Sky Harbor Artwork: A Viewing Guide
Over 40 artists were present at the showcase. Their works ranged from jewelry design to watercolors to hair and makeup. The bottom floor of the Monarch Theatre was mostly occupied by the musical acts and their audiences. The music was not notable.
In the stairwells and stationed in corners were models on pedestals. They also mingled in the crowd, forming sort of a mobile, interactive fashion show. Sophia Idowu, a makeup artist, dressed her models in white with spindly gold antler-like headdresses. Shimmering yet understated makeup enhanced the models' natural beauty without being overt or overwhelming. Gold decals accented their bodies, creating an ethereal, goddess-like effect.
Lana May, a jewelry designer, also had a strong showing. Her models dressed in black with silver lamé skirts and minimal makeup, which drew attention to her super-fun silver and black statement jewelry. Other pieces featured intricate, colorful beadwork with vintage details.
Another jewelry designer, Cheryl Senkfor of Woven Angel, created her works from wreathes of copper, silver, and gold wire. Her jewelry had an unique story behind it. After nearly dying as a result of a cerebral hemorrhage, she was left with better than average motor skills. Senkfor now donates 10 percent of Woven Angel's profits to the Brain Injury Alliance.
The photography showing at CURRENT was pretty weak; color-saturated portraits and boring silver gelatin prints of old cars and storm clouds dominated the show. One photographer stood out from this mediocre pack. Andrew Ruiz of Loud Cloud Photography had a sense of humor that shined through in his works. One piece featured a horse bearing its teeth in a wide grin. "That's Hay is for Horses," Ruiz said. "I told that horse to smile for me, and he did!"
The paintings at CURRENT were equally underwhelming; many were unfinished, or lacked any sense of discernible focus. That being said, there were a few great exceptions.
Our favorite painting exhibition was by Carla Keaton. Keaton's classic muted portraiture did not immediately grab the eye, but was beautiful and complex at second look. Her works were glimpses into the lives of single mothers, complete with stories about their subjects. This was a system of storytelling that you might expect to see at a photography exhibition, but that was much more powerful as a result of her chosen medium. Keaton's portraits walked the fine line between being moving and being maudlin, and succeeded at being powerful without being coercively emotional.
Molly Bridget Dean also created black and white ink works that required a second look to fully appreciate. From a distance, her works seemed fairly simple; but a closer look showed layers of complexity and saturation that stood out for their level of skill and detail.

There were, of course, some oddball exhibits as well. Sandi McAslan won our award for weirdness with her collection of steampunk-ish oddity boxes. Aged paper, skins of various animals, and skeletal elements came together in three dimensional collages. Her table had a spooky and gross arrangement of dirty latex gloves, fairy statuettes, and bloody hypodermic needles. Because who doesn't want to look at that.
Lindsay Bessanson of Hadal Art also stood out for her mixed media pieces that primarily featured mechanized beetles and bugs. Some of even used real bugs as a medium. Also, there were tarantulas. In frames.
RAW's next Phoenix showcase will be titled VISIONARY and will take place at the Monarch Theatre on February 5, 2015.

It's New Year's Eve. I always love looking back at the year on New Year's Eve. My sister and I have loved this sentimentality for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite New Year's Eve memories with her was watching some made for TV Liberace movie and the song "I'll Be Seeing You" struck some chords in our souls and we have since loved that song and loved that memory. Jainie, I love you.
I look back at 2014 with a mix of fond memories as well as heart ache for the lost people in my life.
First, my parents celebrated 50 amazing years of marriage. The toasts that they deserve for 50 years are beyond count. Here's to many more years, you sweet people.
I went to Italy. It was a life long dream that came true as I trekked over the ocean with some dear friends from grad school. It was an experience that I can never put into words, but I know that it changed my life on many levels.
I turned 40. I love milestones. Looking at my 30s had me in awe. David and I moved to New York City (the untouchable city that this little girl from Indiana never dreamed of visiting let alone living in). I had a baby who changed my life beyond words and taught me more about myself, love and grace in 3 little years than I think I had ever learned in the 37 years prior to her birth. Forty was huge for me. The days leading up to my birthday had me in a weird place thinking, "Oh my gosh, I'm getting older. Stop world. Please slow down for one minute." And then the day arrived and I said, "Come on world, bring it." And I've been feeling the "bring it" attitude since. Forty has been good thus far.
Lost some dear souls this year. Peggy Keeton, the memories I have of you in my life go way back to junior high days. You have always held a very dear place in my heart. Maudine Fee, although I only knew you for a few short years, I feel as though I had known you for a lifetime. You both are whole in the presence of Jesus. I miss you both and I love you dearly.
Got to see Carol Burnett live on stage. For those of you who have known me for several years in my life know that this was something that made me giddy with glee like a kid in a candy shop. Words could not describe the joy that was felt as I sat in the same room with this person.
November marked 20 years that David and I have been together and December marked 18 years of marriage. Where did that time go? Grand Rapids, Columbus, New York City… what's next I wonder?
Looking ahead to 2015.
I'll graduate from grad school this year. Wow! That has been a journey. Although there have been times I thought I would lose my mind through the whole experience, I found myself telling people that I was actually having fun and having the time of my life. And it's true. I love grad school. Looking forward to the doors that may open because of it.
As I look back to when I was a kid and all the grown ups saying "time goes faster the older you get," I feel as though they were right. It's flying by and flying fast. Not sure how to hold onto it sometimes. I guess live one day at a time and treasure each day for all that it's worth. God is good. In the midst of the crazy, the sad, the adventure, the challenge, the amazing and the fun… God is very good. His sustaining grace moves me beyond words. And with that I'll end my thoughts for this past year and move onto the next.
Happy New Year!

My Interview with Go! Girl Guides.
My lovely friend Gemma at Go! Girl Guides has recently interviewed me for GGG's weekly feature Girls That Go! GGG decided on the awesome idea of publishing travel guides, specifically aimed at women, encouraging them to go off, travel and explore the world. What they do is brilliant and I'm loving making my way through their published pieces.
Girls That Go! is a regular feature of theirs; basically female travellers are interviewed, those that have thought 'screw it' to the conventional 9-5, so you can see what they've been up to and maybe even feel a little inspired to do that kind of thing yourself.
I'm thrilled to have been interviewed and really excited by the work they publish!
Check out my interview here and thanks again GGG, keep up the good work!

Dogs and puppies really like dog toys, but how do you know what toy is proper for your dog? Used by K-9 and military coaching teams, this heavy-duty ball and cord is created of organic rubber and nylon and tends to make a great toy for tug of war and fetch. Why We Picked It: With a rating of four.six out of 5 stars on PetsMart, this toy is obtainable in various sizes and holds treats for your puppy. Why We Picked It: Extra-difficult nylon and a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon make this toy a go-to for dog owners. Instead, these interactive dog toys are meant to be gnawed on lightly although your dog becomes entranced by the unusual talking and sounds coming from inside. These who are concerned with expense and are inclined to be hands on may also be interested in generating straightforward toys for their dogs.
Even the most powerful jaws can not destroy the further-challenging nylon toy or its teeth-cleaning bristles. Developed to ease anxiousness and to calm frightened or nervous dogs, this toy calls for only one set of AAA batteries to maintain a soothing, lifelike heartbeat pumping. I like to mix in a handful of treats like these, below, just for range – but mainly I just use little bits of mozzarella cheese, low-fat chicken hot dogs, cubes of the roll-style meat dog food, and my own homemade goodies (see my Straightforward Homemade Liver Treats Recipe for instance) along with tiny bits of banana or half-dried apple.
They're each by PetQwerks: the Talking Babble Ball dog toy and the Animal Sounds X-Tire dog toy. You want your pooch to be extremely clear on which box is the one particular that holds his very personal toys – what box in your residence he's allowed to dig about in, and what is off limits for chewing and play. Why We Picked It: An indestructible toy, the Hard Bone chew toy received a rating of four.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
Steadily, as these video lessons have demonstrated, we hold out for a tiny far more to be supplied by the dog… and just a tiny far more… step by step operating towards the completed behavior, which in this case is to go choose up the dogs toys, carry them to the toy box, and drop them in. This interactive toy is built to final for the toughest sessions of chewing, tugging and roughhousing.
Soft and squeaky, this toy is made to heighten your dog's organic hunting instinct. The group at PetBreeds compiled ten of the greatest dog toys from every single of toy categories suggested by the Humane Society: active toys, distraction toys and comfort toys. You do not want your dog to get so busy chewing up a huge crunchy treat that he forgets what he's supposed to be carrying out! This is due to the fact if any of the rubber breaks off, your dog could try to consume it. This is potentially very unsafe. One more rope and ball dog toy that appears like enjoyable is the Zany Ball Rope Twister — but I can not locate anywhere locally to buy it. Obtaining a designated toy box of his very personal aids the dog to understand what he is permitted to play with, and cease stealing your stuff! Why We Picked It: Simply because this toy lacks stuffing, your puppy cannot leave a mess!

Website hosting is one of the most critical factors you need to pay attention to when you want to launch a site. A hosting company usually determines how fast your website will be and how efficient it will perform various functions.
The challenge is picking the appropriate company to host your website but before you can do that you need to understand what you are looking for in a hosting company.
What do we need to consider when picking a hosting company?
There are a number of things we should consider before choosing a hosting company:
1. What type of hosting do you want (shared hosting, dedicated hosting, vps hosting or cloud hosting)? and within these types of hosting:
a. their allowed traffic levels (bandwidth)
b. how much storage is provided (and its speed)
c. the processing power of the CPUs
d. their uptime
e. quality of service and customer support
f. price
We will briefly discuss each of these hosting types and considerations.
There are several common types of hosting available: Shared Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Cloud Hosting and VPS Hosting.
Shared hosting is the most economical. It means that there are many websites being hosted on a single server. It is the most common choice for small businesses and individuals. Shared hosting can handle websites that run WordPress for example. This type of hosting can handle up to 30,000 visitors per month. It is a good option if you are just starting out.
A second type of hosting, Dedicated hosting consists of a single website being hosted on a single server. With a dedicated hosting you are not sharing the server or resources with anyone else so you do not have the concern of another website using up the resources and slowing down your own website. With a dedicated server you can configure the setup of the server and customize the software and hardware for your individual needs but with this ability also comes a more expensive price tag. Dedicated hosting can handle up to 100,000 visitors a month.
Virtual private servers share one physical server but act like multiple, separate servers. A VPS is a stepping stone between shared hosting and getting your own dedicated machine. With VPS you are allocated a dedicated amount of the computing resources even though you share the server. The advantage of VPS hosting is that you can scale from small to large websites without having to switch servers. With VPS hosting you are given the option to scale up your computing resources as you need them.
Cloud Based Web Hosting refers to a newer hosting technology that utilizes a number of servers that work together as one giant server. As needs grow, more servers can be added forming "the cloud". The resources of a number of servers can be used to supply the needs of the websites.
A web hosting company may be excellent for one types of hosting ie. shared hosting but not rated so highly for another type of hosting ie.VPS.
Bandwidth /Traffic
The bandwidth (or traffic) refers to the amount of content sent from your server to a client's browser. It's a good idea to calculate the minimum bandwidth you'll need before signing up for a hosting plan.
The formula: Visitors per Month x Page Size x Pages per Visit equals the Bandwidth Needed.
Example: If your average page size is 1MB, your site gets 10,000 visitors per month and on average visitors go to three pages each, then your bandwidth calculation =:
10,000 Visits x 1MB Per Page x 3 Pages per Visit = 30GB of Bandwidth
Storage Size
Storage refers to the amount of content, data, and files you can store on your server. Usually, websites do not have a tremendous amount of storage needs, but if you are hosting video or large images or user information, you may find this to be a concern. A minimum of 20 gigabytes (GB) of storage available for your web server is a good estimate.
Standard Hard Drives vs. SSD
Also, there are two different types of hard drives used these days. The standard hard drives are usually just referred to as say, "20GB Storage." The other type of hard drive is referred to as an SSD, this stands for solid state drive. These drives are typically faster than standard hard drives and they may be listed as "20GB SSD".
Processing Power
Processing power can be a determining factor in choosing a web host, especially if you are looking at dedicated or VPS hosting.
Usually, web hosts will list the number of cores, or CPUs, that are available for each level of service. In general, the more cores that run at higher speeds, the better.
In addition, as you get to more and more complicated hosting, there are multiple options for hard drive configurations. These configurations have to do with making sure a single hard drive failure does not compromise your system.
Uptime is the amount of time the server is successfully operational. If the server is down, then your website will also not be operational. You need to determine the level of uptime that is acceptable for you.
Most hosts list their uptime as a percentage. In many cases, 99.9% uptime is acceptable. There are some businesses inwhich a higher percentage or even 100% uptime may be imperative.
Customer Service
Customer service is also an important feature to consider when picking a hosting company. This could vary from 24/7, US-based support to an email response within 24 hours. They may or may not provide phone support. Do they explain technical issues which is something you may or may not prefer.
Linux vs. Windows for Web Hosting
In over 99.9% of cases a Linux server should be used. Most hosting plans come with great user interfaces that will take care of all of the coding for you. Web hosting control panels provide a graphical user interface and automation tools designed to make complex web hosting tasks much easier. Processes such as creating databases, managing website files, setting up email and managing DNS are all simplified through user-friendly control panels. These are referred to as cPanels.
Major web hosting Players
There are a huge number of companies offering hosting services. I have highlighted several of the bigger and reliable players below which I would recommend.
It is one of the 20 largest web hosts With its sister companies, HostMonster, FastDomain and iPage, they collectively host over 2 million domains.
2. WPEngine
WPEngine focuses exclusively on WordPress hosting and touts itself as the best for WordPress hosting.
3. GoDaddy.
EconomyBasic resources for starter sites.
4. HostGator.
HostGator is designed to ensure you get powerful web hosting services inexpensively.
They have the ability to host websites belonging to small business as well as enterprises. This means that you can grow with the platform without having any worries.
Two other well known hosting companies with sound reputations include:
5. iPage
6. Siteground
Any of the major players are well suited to carry out the basic functions of a host effectively. Although their packages may vary to some degree, they often include:
- A choice of server options
- A choice of level of hosting packages
- A money back guarantee.
- Include a free domain and SSL certification within the subscription
- They rank the best due to their remarkable performance and dedicated support.
- They are also very good when it comes to offering marketing tools for their customers.
- They offer dedicated customer support. This may vary in terms of being 24/7, if phone support is available, or only support through e-mail.
It is best to look at your specific hosting needs and check is hosts site for the details of their specific offers before choosing the right hosting company for you.

"This week is designed to counteract the myths teens have about drug abuse, often reinforced by their peers, the Internet, and the entertainment industry," said NIDA Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow. "When given the facts from people they trust, teens are in a better position to make good decisions about drug use."

Man City boss Pellegrini confirms Vincent Kompany will miss PSG clash but stays coy on Yaya Toure's future
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has lost his battle to be fit for his side's decisive Champions League quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
The influential Belgium defender had been hoping to feature in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium after a month on the sidelines with the latest in a long line of calf-related problems.
But despite the 30-year-old being involved in training, Kompany's involvement has been deemed too much of a risk by manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Pellegrini said: "Vincent Kompany is not 100 per cent." Asked if he could still play, Pellegrini said: "No, it is not possible."
Pellegrini had previously suggested Kompany could be fit, so the news will come as a blow for a tie in which the score is locked at 2-2 after a thrilling first leg last week.
But City will have Nicolas Otamendi in the centre of defence despite a minor scare over a twisted ankle in the weekend win over West Brom and Pellegrini has faith in his back line.
Pellegrini said: "I am absolutely confident because with this defence we played a lot of games here in the Premier League and in the Champions League and if we are in this stage it is because we have good defenders. We have had a lot of injuries (this season) but I trust 100 per cent in the players who can play."
Playmaker David Silva will return after resting an ankle injury and the blow to the foot Sergio Aguero took in the latter stages on Saturday has not proved serious.
Pellegrini recognises both sides have everything to play for after an evenly-contested first encounter at the Parc des Princes in which both sides showed good some attacking play but also made costly errors.
The Chilean said: "When we started this stage against Paris Saint-Germain I said I didn't think one team could be favourites. I continue thinking exactly the same.
"We have to play a tough game against a very good team. We knew that before we played in Paris and we went there to try to win from the beginning. Tomorrow we are going to do exactly the same thing because it is the way this team play."
City, bidding to reach the semi-finals for the first time, are hoping to be roared on to victory by a capacity crowd. Despite the importance of the game, ticket sales have been slow with many fans complaining about prices, which include a most expensive seat of £60.
But the result of the first leg has seen a late surge for tickets and 51,400 out of a competition-reduced capacity of 53,000 have been sold as of Monday afternoon. That already exceeds the club's European home attendance record.
Pellegrini said: "Tomorrow we will have a full capacity here. The fans, for different reasons, they have not been involved 100 percent in this competition but as we continue further they will do it. They know tomorrow is a very important achievement for the club."
The other issue concerning fans is their long-running dislike of European governing body UEFA, which manifests itself in their booing of the Champions League anthem.
Pellegrini was asked if that might set the wrong tone for such a big occasion for the team but he did not seem concerned. He said: "It depends if you are superstitious or not. If you are superstitious - we continue winning when they boo the anthem!"
To progress City will need to keep PSG's prolific striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic quiet. The Swede scored in the first leg despite a below-par performance in which he missed a penalty.
Ibrahimovic is out of contract in the summer and has long been linked with a move to England, with the latest stories identifying him as a potential Manchester United target.
City defender Bacary Sagna said: "Zlatan has been doing well in every single league he has played in. He has played in Holland, Italy and now in France and has always been a massive player and done well. If he ever comes to the Premier League, I wouldn't be surprised, and I think he can do well here."
Meanwhile, Yaya Toure's Manchester City future will be resolved in the summer, according to Pellegrini. The midfielder's outspoken agent Dimitri Seluk has been quoted saying the midfielder will leave City this summer if he is not offered a new three-year deal.
The 32-year-old enters the final 12 months of the four-year contract he signed in 2013 at the end of the season. Seluk claims if City do not want to keep the Ivorian beyond his current deal they should let him leave on a free transfer this summer. If not, he says he will look at ways to extract his client from his contract.
"I will not let Yaya waste a year at City," Seluk said in the Sunday Mirror. "I will not let City keep him because, in one more year, his chances of joining another big club will be smaller.
"I will go to FIFA. I will write to them and tell them that we will buy Yaya out of his contract. We can do this. It is an option. This is not a threat.
"I promise you that Yaya will leave City this summer one way or another if they don't offer him a new contract."
Yet these are merely the latest in a long line of inflammatory remarks from Seluk and Pellegrini rarely responds when the subject arises.
Asked about Toure at a press conference to preview Tuesday's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, Pellegrini said: "He is focused on these games that we must finish this season. At the end of the season he will see his future.
"For the moment he is just thinking about the game we play tomorrow and the six more games that we have to play in the Premier League, and we hope to continue in the Champions League to the end." City's incoming manager Pep Guardiola was in charge at Barcelona when the Catalans sold Toure to City in 2010.

Are You Waiting to Be Laid Off?
December 27, 2009 Leave a comment
Back in June, when I was writing a blog for Harvard Business, I was thinking a lot about folks (including my former colleagues) who were waiting to hear whether they'd "get the axe" at work. Eight months earlier, I had quit my full-time job to pursue some long-neglected passions, but most people I knew were still plugging away in full-time positions that they needed to keep. For some of them, the almost-certain prospect of layoffs had been looming for what seemed like an eternity. So I submitted a blog post that attempted to give a voice to people forced to play this all-too-familiar waiting game.
The post was a little unconventional because, well, it featured an original poem of mine. I do write a fair amount of poetry, but this was something of a parody of my own style, even though I thought it kind of fit the bill. Not surprisingly, my editor didn't go for it, as it was off-brand for the website. Not to mention that Harvard Business was gearing up to announce its own layoffs as June (and the end of the fiscal year) wound down, and the timing would have been a bit too perfect.
Now, with the calendar year winding down and some people (perhaps not as many) still awaiting news about layoffs, I offer up that odd little poem from June. It is what it is. Happy new year.
Lay Me Off
As the end of your fiscal year
approaches, your hands are nearing
my neck, your knife in reach
of my knees. Because I cannot walk
on my own, I am stiff
for the sound of your severance —
crisp for the snap
of executive fingers. A clean break
will not crack me — my skull
has already quit this corporation.
Let me go now, I urge you. But please
do not thank me for my labor, give lip
to my service. Platitudes fall
flatter than a pink slip,
slice rougher than any across-the-board
decision. You have slowly taken
my years, but — please —
lay off my ears.

After housing and healthcare costs, for many households their next largest expenditure is their automobile or light truck.

|SPC assists Marshall Islands with copra processing
|Wednesday, 29 August 2012 11:11
A mission to the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) was undertaken in July by SPC Market Access Specialist and Acting Coordinator of the Biosecurity and Trade Team in the Land Resources Division, Mr Josua Waniqolo, in response to request by the RMI government made during the 7th meeting of the Pacific Plant Protection Organisation held concurrently with the 15th Regional Technical Meeting for Plant Protection in Fiji last June. The mission was also a follow-up on the work that the Late Roy Masamdu and Tevita Kete worked on in 2011 for Tobolar Copra Processing Plant Inc. (TCCPI).
The objective of the mission was to work with TCCPI and assist in drafting standard operating procedures (SOPs) as required by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS). The mission was vital for RMI, in that it contributed greatly to facilitating RMI's access to the Australian market for export of its copra meal.
Mr Wainiqolo also held talks with senior staff of TCCPI on areas requiring improvement and he worked on a number of recommendations to facilitate compliance to Australian requirements.
An AQIS accreditation audit process has been planned for TCCPI and it is envisaged that improvements will be completed prior to the audit exercise. Work is currently under way on the renovation and refurbishment of the processing facility, with SOPs that will be edited by SPC on completion of the renovation.

He immediately wanted to draw.
I could have said no.
After all I was using it first.
I said okay and just pulled out a sheet of scrap paper.
A few minutes later he ran up to me making a fish face and holding this.
I asked him if it was a fish,

India – Madurai is heaven, say transgender people. But finding jobs and homes are a challenge.
R. Jyothi Prakash is a second year student in a private engineering college. "I am a transgender. My parents have no clue about my identity. But I have told my teachers and classmates and they have accepted it", she says.
"If I tell my parents about my identity now, they may not accept me and I might have to walk out of my home. I am hiding my identity for the sake of my education. I want to complete my course or I might end up in the streets and be exploited", Jyothi fears.
According to Bharathi Kannamma, a transgender activist, there are 1500 transgenders in Madurai. "Only 300 of these have declared their identity", she told The Hindu.
Most of them conceal their identities due to parental pressure, fearing rejection by their families.
"Adequate education and employment opportunities for transgenders will help them come out and declare their true identity'', she says.
Ms Bharathi says the transgenders in Madurai face no social ostracism or discrimination in public places. "Madurai is a heaven for us. The police officials are extremely helpful and understanding. We are treated like any other people in public places", she says. Ms Bharathi's nomination for the 2011 mayoral election was rejected on technical grounds. Her voter's identity card identified her as a male, whereas she wanted to contest the election as a female. But Ms Bharathi is undeterred by the setback.
"Miracles cannot happen overnight. I have now set the record straight and I am planning to contest the parliamentary elections. I want to take up a career in politics. I want to work for the welfare of everybody and not just for my community", she says confidently.
But transgenders are not commonly preferred as tenants.
"People in a few areas like Mathichiam, Munichalai and Thiruparankundram are willing to rent their houses to us. Others think twice because they associate us with sexual activities. When they are convinced that we are students, who are serious about our studies, they accept us", says Srinidhi, a human resources management student.
"The temples do not discriminate against transgenders. They are free to worship in the temples like any other devotees", says P. Jayaraman, Joint Commissioner and Executive Officer of the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple.
However, the transgenders are happy that they are not discriminated against in places of worship. Theological institutes in Madurai have transgender students, says Glory Deborah, programme administrator of Russ Foundation, an NGO.
"It all depends on the way we (the transgenders) behave. People like me are not discriminated against in public places and in the temples. I did not have much difficulty in getting a house in the Bank Colony after I explained that I was interested in education. All the people in my community should be educated so that they will not be exploited", she says.
Swapna, an MA journalism student, says that her family (except her father) has accepted her identity. "They could not find a place to stay because of me. I occasionally visit my brother and my mother, but I live alone in Tiruparankundram", she says.
What remains a cause of concern are the hurdles to education and employment faced by people like Ms Bharathi who has completed their education before coming out in the open with their true identity. "I concealed my identity till the death of my parents so that they would not be embarrassed", Ms Bharathi said. Ms Srinidhi completed her B.Sc Chemistry with the records showing her as a male, before declaring her transgender identity in public. She is pursuing her MBA in distance education. "I am planning to start a business, with the aid of the district administration", she says.
A few private organisations and NGOs in Madurai do employ transgenders, says Ms Bharathi.
Mrs Glory says that she has employed people from the transgender community in her organisation. "I have counselled the family members of several adolescent transgenders, who are unable to digest the fact about the identity of their children. To help them not be exploited, we provide them with jobs", she says.

A Democratic candidate said Thursday he plans to challenge Republican Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, a former Palm Beach Gardens state lawmaker in his first term.
Allie Braswell, president and CEO of the Central Florida Urban League and an ex-Marine, plans to take on Atwater, who was Florida's leading statewide vote-getter in the 2010 election. Atwater also is a robust fund-raiser but Braswell says he will run against Tallahassee.
"We need a leader who will help protect taxpayers by cracking down on huge contracts that politicians are handing over to their supporters and political allies," Braswell said. "I'll be a fiscal watchdog who will hold our government and politicians accountable and fight to shift the focus of our leaders away from helping their friends and back to attracting good jobs to Florida."
An Atwater spokesman, Brian Hughes, said Democrats are jumping the gun with Braswell's announcement.
"Mr. Braswell and Democrats want to focus on politics well over a year before Election Day," Hughes said. "Jeff Atwater is focused on serving Floridians by working to bring relief to insurance ratepayers and fighting the consumer fraud that steals from seniors and families."

I would like to thank Bryan Borland and S.L. Corsua for both awarding me the Premio Dardos which is "given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for work that adds value to the Web".
Bryan's energy and ability to produce so much high quality writing forces me to steer clear for days at a time, for fear of being influenced by his work.
S.L.'s poetry, photographs and overall approach to blogging, have really made me want to be a better blogging friend to others who are working hard to make some art in this world.
Both bloggers represent for me the very best of what is possible; of what can happen when people get their hands on technology and use it to add to the conversation. I am humbled to have been nominated by two of the blogs I would definitely nominate myself for the award.
[According to the rules:
- Accept the award by posting it on your blog along with the name of the person that has granted the award and a link to his/her blog. [Note: Don't forget to copy and paste the award jpeg itself to include on your own blog!]
- Pass the award to another five blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment, remembering to contact each of them to let them know they have been selected for this award.]
Now I have to find my five favorite sites, but I couldn't go on, without thanking Bryan and S.L.

Claudius In Hamlet Essay, Research Paper

For You For Only $13.90/page!

A Man Masked in Betrayal and Murder
What could be worse than killing your brother? Marrying his wife right after! Claudius is the shadiest character in Act I of Hamlet. Claudius had poured the juice of a hebenon (henbane; a very poisonous plant) into his brother?s, Hamlet Sr.?s ear. Hamlet Sr. died quickly but was ?doomed for a certain term to walk the night.? Claudius then hurriedly married Gertrude and became king. Hamlet knows none of this however, yet already holds certain contempt for his step-father/uncle.
In scene 2, Claudius gives a very sly speech, side-stepping the fact that he is in the middle of a very incestuous relationship. He says, ?With an auspicious and a dropping eye, / With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage, / In equal scale weighing delight and dole, -/Taken to wife?? Claudius tries to beat around the bush and not really explain anything about his marriage to Gertrude. No one questions him because he is King, but the people are not happy about this situation anyway. Claudius?s slick nature somewhat surfaces when he is speaking to Hamlet also. He is obviously uncomfortable with the fact that Hamlet is still mourning the death of his father and almost seems to bully him to stop: ??to preserver/ In obstinate condolement is a course/ Of impious stubbornness; ?tis unmanly grief;/ It shows a will most incorrect to heaven,/ A heart unfortified, a mind impatient,/ An understanding simple and unschooled?? Claudius, of course, seems to say this with a face full of smiles as if politely correcting Hamlet, but it seems obvious that he is downright afraid of what Hamlet could do if he discovered the truth. This is expressed even more when Claudius says, ??we beseech you, bend you to remain/ Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye, / Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.? Keeping his enemies close seems to be his plan. Not only will Claudius be able to keep his eye on Hamlet, but he can be sure that Hamlet won?t be able to rise up against him if he stays. Claudius has much to lose if anyone finds out his terrible secret?that he killed the King, his brother. This simple fact is the reason why Claudius is not what he appears to be in Act I.

Day 25 of Blogtober14 hosted by Helene and Taylor. Today's prompt: Letter to my younger self. Quite a pessimistic one!)
Dear Ksenia!
First of all I want to tell you that your life is going to be way different of what you imagine. And not in a good way.
Stop listening to your mum and following what she wants you to do. You'll be unhappy with your life if you do.
Start earning money at age 15. And find a job the summer when you entered university. Because you wont be able to depend on your parents since age 18.
Learn more languages and try to travel as much as possible before you're 18.
Don't stop dancing!
Start blogging earlier!
And don't forget! No matter what happens your friends will always be with you!
