Hi guys.
I was going to publish a post today about my favorite travel websites but that's going to have to wait. As you know, on Sunday evening there was a horrific tragedy in Las Vegas. I feel angry and I feel hopeless. But it's not about what I feel in reaction to events such as Sunday evening. It's about what I choose to do – my actions in response to this and any other tragedies.
Many bloggers, celebrities, and friends that I follow on social media took to their platforms to share how to help. Many shared their emotions. Some wrote they were keeping Vegas in their prayers.
I've thought long and hard about what I want to say about this. It's not easy and I am not really going to sugarcoat it, so if I offend you that's not my intention however I sincerely apologize. My goal is to provide some food for thought and start a conversation. If you are a praying person, please do pray. If you aren't and you don't actually intend on praying, it's okay to use your hurt and anger in another way. Call your representatives. Donate blood. Truthfully, I think we all just feel helpless in tragedies – especially when they aren't in our communities. So we do what's easy. We publicly announce that those affected are in our thoughts and prayers.
There's nothing wrong with praying and keeping people in your thoughts. (If we want to get really personal, I was raised in church and have gone since I was an infant. So praying is as normal to me as anything.) I hope my point isn't lost here – but what I'm saying is please, let's think before we write things like "my thoughts and prayers are with _____". Take some time to process and then share your feelings. In my opinion, it can be disingenuous when we share things like an outfit photo, link all of the clothes we're wearing, then slap on a sentence at the end of the caption about said tragedy.
So…by now you know that I'm referring specifically to bloggers. This is a touchy subject that I have seen debates on allll over recently. Many bloggers choose not to address political issues or tragedies or natural disasters on their platforms. They are, after all, generally niche bloggers who only write about a certain subset of topics. No one should expect that a blogger will cover all topics or all tragedies out there. There are bad things happening every single day and a blog that addressed all events would literally be a news site. I understand both sides of the coin. Sharing the tough stuff like politics and world issues isn't everyone's cup of tea. It's off brand for some. It's uncomfortable. It's personal.
There are a lot of reasons why some bloggers may be silent and are not addressing topics. And you know what? That's perfectly okay. Just because someone doesn't Instagram story something about a tragedy does not mean they are not supporting those affected, grieving for them, and reacting to it. I know that we tend to overshare our lives on social media but I think I speak for all when I say we don't bare it all. There is a lot that does not get shared.
For those that do want to use their platform to speak about topics outside of the norm of fashion, beauty, etc. here are my two cents. Should you want to post a photo on Instagram and write a caption that helps others find ways to support a tragedy or express your sadness, there is a tasteful way to do so. (Moorea Seal did a great job with this here.) Maybe post your outfit photo the following day and that caption can be 100% about your outfit. Or if you do want to share your outfit that day because you have chosen to not address certain topics on your platform, own that decision. It's okay and don't let others bully you into thinking it's not.
The world needs more kindness and love, tragedy or not. It's unfortunate that some people are shaming others when more negativity is the last thing we need. But I digress. It's a hard topic. My own words might sound hypocritical though it's not my intention. I genuinely hope that for those who are in the same boat as me and confused with how we should respond to some of life's tragedies, that this just gives you some food for thought. We can't please everyone whichever choice we do make, but we can do our best to be kind whichever way we do choose.
If you made it to the end, thanks for reading. TLDR: Be nicer than necessary.

Surkhandarya people clothing
The national costume can tell us about age-long traditions, customs and aesthetic priorities typical of each regional culture. Uzbekistan clothing is special but of different regions of Uzbekistan it differed. Clothing of Surkhandarya people, and first of all of the Kungrats, is especially interesting.
Women clothing
Women clothing is very complex and had been forming for centuries under the influence of local conditions, climate and occupations. It includes under-dress and dress, pants (lozim), overclothes, headwear and footwear. But everything depends on the age of the women, that's why the standard costume can be changed and decorated more freely and interesting.
At the second half of the XIX c. married women wore the straight wide dress with long sleeves. Under the influence of the Russian fashion the dresses with upstanding collar became popular.
With the passage of time pleated frills decorated its upper part. Now such clothing is used on holidays and for ritual ceremonies.
Overclothes of women clothing
Among pieces of overclothes there is a robe tossed on the head – capote-kurta (zhelak). Kurta reminds chapan, but its false long sleeves are turned back, fastened to each other. The most interesting part of national clothing is the headwear of Kungrat women. It consists of tyubeteika, shawl, kyigich (kulta), "bosh" (ad verbum – a head).
The headwear "bosh" is very unusual and is twisted round like turban and presents a complicated structure consisted of several elements. First, a small cap kyigich (kulta) with over-plait fixture is being put on, and then it is being muffled with 3-5 meters of red or vinous fabric. In our days "bosh" is mainly the headwear of old women.

Plastic Bottles & Jars
Endless Possibilities
The convenience, safety, flexibility, and sustainability of plastic bottles and jars make them the smart choice for a huge range of products. With a multitude of resins, molding processes, coatings, colorants, barriers, closure, size and shape options, the possibilities are nearly limitless. Regardless of material, shape, capacity, or market, All American Containers can help you find a package that meets your visual and functional requirements.
More Product, Less Packaging
Plastic bottles and jars help bring home more product with less packaging. Plastic packaging in general is lightweight and strong—different plastics can be molded, extruded, cast and blown into seemingly limitless shapes and films or foams. This resourcefulness often delivers while using minimal resources, creating less waste, consuming fewer resources and creating fewer CO2 emissions than alternative materials. Plastics make packaging more efficient, which ultimately conserves resources.

Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms - Allison Crowe Live - Jazzhaus Freiburg
This traditional aire takes its lyrics from the writings of Thomas Moore. An international hit at the beginning of the previous century for the great Irish tenor John McCormack (who recorded it in 1911 and, again, in 1935), and Australia's legendary coloratura soprano, Dame Nellie Melba (in 1909).
Allison Crowe's Celtic roots show when she performs "Believe Me If All (Those Endearing Young Charms)".
Recordings of this tune are found on Allison's "Live at Wood Hall" (http://music.allisoncrowe.com/album/live-at-wood-hall) and "Tidings Concert" (http://music.allisoncrowe.com/album/tidings-concert) albums.And, it's an "hidden" track closing her "Secrets" album (http://music.allisoncrowe.com/album/secrets).
"Irish Music Daily" provides delightful background to this beautiful song @ http://www.irishmusicdaily.com/believe-me-if-all-those-endearing-young-charms
Believe Me If All
Traditional Irish Aire w. words by Thomas Moore
As performed by Allison Crowe
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow,
and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored,
as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart,
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheek unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time has but made thee more dear:
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sun-flower turns to her god, when he sets,
The same look which she gave when he rose.

I t's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes. When the creators of this palette got together and came up with the concept for a new Naked palette, they must've been inspired by this song. The Urban Decay Naked palettes are a real hype and when they didn't stop at two palettes, three palettes, a smokey palette and the (Ultimate) basics, it was time for a warm-toned palette. I got my hands on it early (thanks to my amazing boyfriend) and have been playing around with it for a few weeks now. Curious whether this palette is worth the hype (and the steep price point?). Read my thoughts below!
Honestly, how pretty is this palette? When I first saw the ad on Urban Decay's Instagram page, I literally screamed. Not even kidding. I know, copper-y tints have been around for a while now and this is nothing new but still, I loooooove UD eyeshadows and these colors just screamed my name. Let's zoom in!
Swatches and Review
As you can see, I already ruined "Ember" with my nail. Who else knows the struggle of long nails and eyeshadow? ??I like the colors they chose for this palette. At first glance, they may all look very similar, but as I've been playing with them I noticed you can create many versatile looks with them: from neutral to real heavy. Ounce is a nice highlight color (which also works perfectly on the whole lid as a shimmery base).
Chaser, Sauced and Low Blow are all pretty crease colors that work on different skin tones. Out of the shimmers I love Lumbre the most: It has this iridescent shift to it, which is so stunning! Sometimes it's red, sometimes it's gold. The pictures don't do justice to this color.
Dirty Talk and Scorched let me down a bit. Don't get me wrong, these colors are stu-nning on the moving eyelid (especially if folded), but they look basically the same on the eye. I think they should've picked two colors that were less similar.
The mattes in this palette: He Devil, Cayenne, En Fuego, and Ashes are all awesome: feel creamy, blend easily… En Fuego didn't really swatch very well, but on the eye, it looks stunning. I love using it on the lower lashline to give it that vampy look. Lastly,
Ember is a nice color to darken the outer V.
There have been several pictures of swatches going around the internet, which are not all that great. Including mine. I mean, the colors don't look bad, but they also don't look great for a €55,20 palette. However, I do love it when it's on the eyes though. It doesn't mean that when the swatches aren't great, the palette isn't great either. The skin on your arms is also very different from the skin on your eyelids.
My advice? Buy this palette if you're a fan of the UD eyeshadows, you love these types of colors and you like the Naked Palettes in general. If this is your first UD Naked palette, I recommend getting Naked One or Naked Two. Can you find these colors cheaper and just as good? Probably. But I think this is a very nice collector's item.
Looking for a great dupe? Look no further: the Morphe 35OS palette is amazing as well, is cheaper and has more colors. Of course, the packaging is not as stunning as UD's and the quality is a little less amazing. Nevertheless, this is a great palette as well!
Staying Power?
A while back I got this message from a follower, saying these colors just disappeared on her eyes. They didn't last a few hours. On my eyes, they stay all day, and I don't use primer… What I like to do is:
- Put on my foundation first, including putting it on the eyelids
- Grab a neutral white, yellow or skin-tone color on my brush and pat it on the complete eyelid
- Then I'll start packing on the colors of this palette
- When the complete look is finished, I'll go over it with some finishing spray (Lately, I've been loving the Beauty Elixir one from Caudalie)
If you skip steps 1 and 2, or you don't use primer, your makeup will always shift. I've noticed step 4, spraying fixing spray, is also a real lifesaver. Don't skip these! Your eyes move all day long, it's only logic that makeup tends to shift.
In short:
- You can find this palette online and in Ici Paris XL
- On UD's Website it's €55,20, at Ici Paris XL you'll pay €54,90
- This means the prices of the Naked palettes have gone up; Probably because the packaging looks more expensive now.
- This product's main ingredient is Mica, which is known for being a very good, more expensive ingredient in eyeshadows. This also explains why UD eyeshadows are as expensive as they are.
- Do I think you should buy it? Yes, if you like the colors and you're a fan of UD. No, if you're someone who is just starting out, trying to learn the basics and a little afraid of colors that aren't exactly "naked". There are plenty of cheaper dupes if you want to play around with these colors but don't want to spurge on colors you might not love.
Will you be buying this palette?
As always,
have a lovely day!
XOXO Charlotte

Finally. The day has arrived. The wait is over.
It's time to fight.
Fight this cancer that has taken up residence in Travis' body.
Travis and Carrie left for Houston on Wednesday. A road trip. Just the two of them. No kids. One purpose.
To fight Trav's cancer.
They stopped in Biloxi for some fun and arrived in Houston Thursday night.
They were at MD Anderson at 9:45 yesterday morning. Their appointment was scheduled for 10:00. Timeliness is always important to Travis…especially when he is looking to fight. But upon arrival they learned Travis' CT Scan was moved from Tuesday morning to yesterday morning at 6:40 am.
However, someone forgot to let the patient know about the schedule change.
While the morning started out rocky, it didn't deter them from their purpose. Their purpose to fight.
And so, they had to squeeze in a CT scan. It sounds easy but it is actually pretty complex. Travis has to drink a contrast at different periods of the day and could not eat within 3 hours of the CT scan. Only…they didn't know when the CT scan was going to be. Which simply meant he couldn't eat until after the CT scan. And the CT scan ended up being at 5:45 PM.
Nothing like kicking a guy when he is down.
Travis also had an echocardiogram, and his blood was drawn, but the results are not yet known. They will get their results on Wednesday when they meet with Dr. Shroff. The blood work will tell them where the CA19-9 is after one month of no treatment and the CT Scan will show any tumor growth or spreading.
It doesn't matter. Travis has resigned to the fact that the news could be bad. It is what it is and now he is just ready for his new course of treatment to fight this.
The clinical trial is officially being conducted by Johns Hopkins and MD Anderson is sponsoring a "branch" of the trial. Yesterday, Carrie and Travis got to meet with Dr. Zinner who is heading up the branch at MD Anderson. While he cannot guarantee Travis' participation in the trial (Johns Hopkins gets the final say) he sees no reason Travis would not be admitted.
The purpose of the trial is to test the maximum dosage tolerated of two combined drugs: Pazopanib and a MEK inhibitor which has not yet been named. It is a directed therapy, meaning it will not kill everything in its path but, rather, will only attack what it should. The Pazopanib should cut off the blood supply to the tumors. The MEK inhibitor should do just what it describes. It will inhibit MEK from getting in the tumors. MEK is a protein that cancer cells gobble up and thrive on.
Travis will have to take two pills every day. Assuming he is approved to enter the trial he will start the pills on Wednesday. After 15 days on the trial he will have blood drawn. After 28 days he will return to MD Anderson for a day to meet with the trial doctor and, again, have blood drawn. At that point, they will know the effect of these drugs on his tumors. They will know how well these drugs fight. After 56 days he will return for two days to get a CT scan, blood work, and again meet with the trial doctor. And so will be the pattern for as long as these drugs continue to fight.
The potential side effects are numerous. All of his hair could turn white. He will likely develop a painful rash. Fatigue. Nausea. Swollen feet. Food will no longer taste good.
But while the potential side effects…suck. They are simply a price. A price to pay in the fight.
Travis will have an opthalmology appointment on Monday afternoon and has the day "off" from MD Anderson on Tuesday.
Wednesday they will meet with Dr. Shroff and find out if Johns Hopkins has approved his entry in the trial. They will also get the results of the blood work and CT scan. And, assuming he is in the trial, he will take his first dose of the medications.
Wednesday is an important day.
Wednesday is a day to fight.

About Electric Insurance
Electric Insurance was founded in 1966 when it was born of a predecessor that was created to provide workers compensation coverage to employees of GE. They remain a subsidiary of GE, but today they offer coverage to the general public and not only GE employees.
Electric Insurance Company writes personal lines coverage for auto, home, recreational vehicles, and also umbrella insurance in all 50 states as well as D.C. and Puerto Rico. Their headquarters is located in Beverly, Massachusetts.
The company appears to sell policies directly and not through independent agents, although they do own subsidiary agencies in both New Jersey in California through which their products are sold.
Electric Insurance Products
Electric Insurance offers a selection of basic personal insurance products as well as a few specialty options.
Auto Insurance
The auto insurance program from Electric promises a lot of coverage that is usually considered an add-on as part of the standard policy. That includes automatic new car replacement and extra time on a rental car when your vehicle is a total loss to shop for a new car.
Rental car coverage, however, is still an optional add-on, as is towing and roadside assistance, and loan/lease gap coverage.
The auto program does have a long list of available discounts; some of them are very common and others, such as the green/hybrid car discount, are more uncommon. Discounts are offered for affiliation with certain groups and companies – not surprisingly GE among them.
Like many other insurance companies, Electric has hopped on the usage-based insurance bandwagon. They offer their Great Driver app as an option to their policyholders, and it comes with an automatic 10% discount just for enrolling. After six months of using the app, a discount of up to 20% can be applied to the policy on renewal based on the driving habits recorded by the app.
Home Insurance
Electric writes home insurance policies for single-family homes, condos, and renters as well.
There are two levels of homeowner's insurance available: Homeowners Plus and Premier Choice. Both options include guaranteed replacement cost for the home itself, as well as replacement cost coverage for personal property.
The Premier Plus plan offers higher coverage limits for nearly every category of property coverage including jewelry, business property, credit cards, and more. This plan is designed for higher value personal property needs. It also adds additional coverage such as identity theft, land restoration, and coverage for high-value items kept in a bank vault.
Both condo and renter's coverage are available as well to meet the specific needs of each type of home.
Flood insurance is available as a separate policy.
Other Coverage
Electric's other personal insurance options include personal umbrella insurance to cover excess liability and specialty vehicle programs.
Specialty vehicle coverage is not underwritten directly by Electric, but by partner companies that work with the in-house agency to help obtain this coverage for customers.
Electric Insurance does offer online quoting; the system for an auto quote requires detailed personal information which is likely to lead to solicitation attempts.
After going through most of the quoting system, we were unable to submit our final quote request as the system rejected our sample contact information. As a result of this, we were not able to obtain a quote from this company.
Electric is not likely to have rates that are competitive with large national insurance companies – but given the list of available discounts they may well be competitive for some people – this is particularly true of people who are GE employees and plan to bundle auto and home coverage.
Electric promises a hassle-free claims experience, offering a guarantee of satisfaction or they'll give you $100. That is a little on the gimmicky side but still speaks to a company willing to stand behind its service.
Claims can only be filed online if you are logged into the customer account section of the website. Otherwise, they can be filed by calling the claims line, which is available toll-free 24/7.
The company offers a few options for handling auto claims. Customers can bring the vehicle to their choice of a repair shop and have an estimate submitted for approval. The second option is to have one of Electric's field appraisers comes to look at the vehicle and make a determination on the estimate, after which it can be repaired anywhere. Any additional damage found during repairs will require a re-appraisal. Finally, customers can use the company's direct repair network. Shops in the network will work directly with Electric and guarantee their work.
Electric's online claims information is very detailed and very informative, something that is unusual even for much larger insurance companies.
Ratings and Consumer Reviews
Electric Insurance has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), with a total of 13 complaints on file in the past three years. This is a very low complaint volume for a national insurance company.
There are 14 complaints about Electric Insurance on Pissed Consumer. A number of the complaints come from drivers who were involved in an accident with an Electric customer rather than directly from their customers. Again, the overall complaint volume here is very low.
We were unable to find anything of concern in relation to this company's reputation, claims handling, or customer service record.
The Bottom Line
While Electric is not a well-known company, they appear to have built a solid reputation. Their products offer comprehensive coverage with many extras that are not standard at other companies. Particularly if you qualify for a number of discounts, Electric is well worth adding to the comparison list.

New Delhi: India's largest private shipliner Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd (GE Shipping) today said it has contracted to buy a Japan-built second hand vessel which will be delivered to it in the current quarter.
The company now owns a fleet of 32 vessels.
"The GE Shipping has contracted to buy a second hand very large gas carrier (1996 built) of about 76,931 cbm. The Japan-built vessel will be delivered to the company in Q1 FY 2016-17," the company said in a statement.
Earlier this month, the company acquired a tanker with 49,700 DWT, built in Korea.
The company had contracted to buy the ship in December, 2012.
With the inclusion of the Japan-built vessel, the company's fleet would stand at 33 vessels. It includes 23 tankers (8 crude carriers, 14 product tankers, 1 LPG carrier) and 9 dry bulk carriers (1 capsize, 3 kamsarmax, 5 supremax).
The vessels have an average age of 10.4 years aggregating 2.5 million DWT.
The company has recently said it has committed USD 120 million capex by 2018 and already invested USD 38 million.
The company has seen its bottomline surge by 51 per cent to Rs 275 crore on the back of higher income during the December quarter.
GE Shipping is India's largest private sector shipping service provider enjoying a formidable presence in the international maritime industry.The company said a sizeable part of the tankers enjoy approvals from oil giants like Shell, BP, Exxonmobil and Texaco, among others.

Battleground Texas is attempting to dodge a statewide investigation and potential legal action after Project Veritas released an undercover investigation showing Battleground Texas illegally copying phone numbers off of voter registration forms.
"The video speaks for itself. The beauty of video is actions are undeniable and clear for everyone to see," said James O'Keefe. "Moreover, the Secretary of State has made it clear stating the "law applies to volunteer deputy registrars."
The attorney for Battleground Texas is arguing that Texas law forbidding registrations officials from "transcribing, copying or otherwise record a telephone number furnished on a registration application" doesn't apply to volunteer deputy registrars of which Battleground Texas is using.
An official investigation has been opened by the Bexar County DA's office, who said "she was looking at "possible penal implications," including charges of abuse of official capacity or even misuse of official information — a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine."

It was a team lead by Harinath, chairman, standing committee for taxation, finance and appeals of the MCC that inspected the properties last week came across this evasion. The city corporation had noticed the evasion from the very first year of the implementation of the SAS for assessing property tax in the civic body in 2008-09. However, with no physical verification done, this evasion remained only in papers.
The team found that a majority of them paid property tax only to office premises and not for the land where they had stored granites and marbles by building structures. In one case, the team found that a trader had obtained trade licence for doing business in 500 sqft area against actual area spread over 4,000 sqft. The trader was carrying out his businesses on a rented land paying a monthly rent of Rs 20,000 to the owner, who between 2008-09 and 2014-15 paid a tax between Rs 254-Rs 559 per annum.
The team also found that the owners of the establishments they visited were paying property tax below Rs 900 per annum. In a separate case, the team found that a trader was doing business in eight cents of land paying Rs 24,000 as monthly rent. But the property owner paid property tax of Rs 200 per annum. Harinath has instructed the revenue department of the MCC to physically survey the establishments of 40 such trades along the NH.
"I have asked the revenue department to serve notices to all of them," Harinath said, adding that he has also instructed the department officials to recover dues from the land owners with retrospective effect from 2008-09. Non-existence of a definitive mechanism to ratify the property tax returns filed by the property owners has meant that the returns filed by the owners is taken on its face value and also encouraging many of them to evade taxes, Harinath opined.

1. I might have known about this since 2012, but I was reminded about it again today.
When I go to my WordPress Dashboard > Thesis > Skin Design > Layout & Dimensions, it says the content width is 617 pixels. I was just starting to write consistently this year. And I forgot what the width of my image should be. So I was basing the width of the images I upload based on the content width of 617 pixels.
After implementing KeyCDN, I right click and open an image in a new tab every now and then to see if it is being served through my CDN. Today, I just noticed that the image opened in a new tab is slightly bigger than the image in my post. That's when I was reminded that I was uploading resized images with a width of 617 pixels. But WordPress automatically resizes all of my images on my posts to 565 pixels.
The reason why my images maxes out with a width of 565 pixels, and not 617 pixels on posts, is because the difference of 52 pixels was for paddings, borders, and margins. Even the paragraphs on my posts and pages maxes out with a width of 565 pixels because of paddings, borders, and margins.
Going forward, I will resize all of my images with a width of 565 pixels, not 617 pixels, before uploading them to my website. I won't be editing and resizing my previous images anymore because it takes a lot of unnecessary work.
Maybe when I'm not lazy I'll resize and optimize my previous uploads. The image at the start of this post is already using the correct width of 565 pixels.
2. Jetpack said that starting with Jetpack version 4.6, their plugin is already compatible with PHP 7.1. But I just changed my PHP version from 7.0.16 to 7.1.2 to check if it really is compatible already. It's not. PHP 7.1.2 is totally not compatible yet with Jetpack 4.6.
That's why I'll stick with PHP 7.0.16 for now. And I'm sure that PHP 7.1.2 is also not compatible with other parts of my website as well.
PHP 7.0.16 was released last 16 Feb 2017.
PHP 7.1.2 was released last 17 Feb 2017.

Dear all,
So this week went by quick and slow at the same time. Some hours of the days just seems like dragging, but there are time I felt like I wish we have more time so we can fit more things in. Anyways this week has been pretty awesome. We have zone training on Tuesday and learnt that there are new changes to the rules in our mission which are great and needed change to help us more focus on our missionary purpose and people instead of numbers. Actually the couple changes aren't something new to me. It's similar to what I was used to when serving in Pullman, Spokane. I guess now I know another reason why I was serving in states for a while before come to Taiwan, so that I can get used of the new change quicker and gain testimony this change indeed is inspired from God.
Last Wednesday we had a unusual lesson. We were visiting a less active (LA) member in a far far away place which takes an hour or so to bike there. But our Relief Society President, Huang JM was kind enough to take us to the LA's house. When we arrived there, we realized the members from Jehovah's Witnesses were also visiting here the very same hour. I have never been feeling so unsure and helpless in my life. Though we are missionaries but we definitely would not like to get into contention with other faith. They entire time we were there I was praying so hard in my heart that the lesson/meeting will go the way the Lord wants it to be. Good thing Huang JM was a return missionary and very well spoken and friendly. We gave the message we prepared for the LA which was about the power of the words of God. Then it was the Jehovah's Witnesses member's turn to share their msg. To make the story short, Sister Haupt and I ended up taught them about Joseph Smith's first vision and the Book of Mormon being another testament of Jesus Christ and the truth about Resurrection. We weren't sure how much they taken in the message but we definitely felt the power of the Spirit as we bear our testimony about the things we shared. Through this experience, I gained a sure understanding of teaching by the Holy Ghost. I don't know how it works exactly, all I know is when I trust the authority that I hold when I was being set apart as the representative of Jesus Christ, I have been given the power to teach the truth by the Spirit.
I have a feeling that by serving in Qi Shan, the Lord wants me to learn how to follow the Spirit closely. That's something that I want to be better at in this movecall and really be worthy enough to recognise the Spirit and act upon the promptings I receive. I am so grateful to be a representative of the Jesus Christ in this opportunity of a lifetime. I am so grateful that I belong to the true church of God and know my purpose on earth.
I love my mission and love sharing what I know to be true with every children of God!
Wish you all have an awesome and happy week!
Love, sister Ting xoxox

Scoring the sweet stuff, or how US farm and biofuel subsidies combine into an amazing market mess
The headline in a recent issue of Ethanol Producer Magazine says it all: "Colo.
The headline in a recent issue of Ethanol Producer Magazine says it all: "Colo.
Since its creation of the domestic market for corn ethanol after the energy crisis of the 1970s, the federal government has nurtured and maintained the ethanol industry with a steady stream of subsidies. Originally sold as a way to achieve energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ethanol has been a favorite of many lawmakers: ethanol producers have received favorable treatment under the tax code, tariff protection from foreign competition, and even a government mandate for its use.
Doug Koplow of the policy consulting firm Earth Track said that the mandate is effectively another kind of subsidy for ethanol, and warns that it may be difficult to come up with new alternative fuels without adverse environmental impacts.
While there has been some enthusiasm about biofuels from switchgrass, cornstalks and algae, Koplow said, "I think people are painting that as too rosy a picture."
My first stint in the world of subsidies was looking as federal disincentives to recycling in an analysis for the US Environmental Protection Agency. Most often these took the form of subsidies to primary materials. The linkages between extraction, energy-intensive processing, and competition with recycling and reuse markets were fascinating, but ones that EPA seems to have steered clear of for far too long.
Earth Track presentation at the Biofuels Policy Forum briefing on April 14, 2011 in Washington, DC. The document provides an overview of the historical and projected level of subsidization to biofuels, and why this policy is not an efficient way to address concerns over greenhouse gas emissions or energy security.
Subsidy arbitrage in international trade is not a new issue. It is popping up again in the biofuels sector, this time regarding the collection of ethanol blending credits on fuel that is then shipped out of the United States. Not surprisingly, producers in the receiving markets are not happy about it. Robert Rapier has writting a good overview of the issue and the industry's denials (
I should have linked to this last month, but better late than never. Robert Rapier has done a nice review of the Renewable Fuel Association's rather exuberant claims on the impacts of killing VEETC. Given that the mandate still requires the use of almost all of the ethanol produced domestically, the mechanism of support may shift (from tax credits to transfers from consumers, as illustrated by rising prices on compliance credits under the renewable fuel standard) but the demand will remain.
Faced with expiration of the ethanol blender's credit in only a few months, the ethanol lobby has been working the halls Congress to fashion together a fallback mix of subsidies -- even though mandates to use ethanol in vehicles remains in force. Taxpayers for Common Sense summarizes the state of play, including assorted loan guarantees, support for new pumps and pipelines, and extension of the blender's credit, albeit at a slightly lower rate.
According to Bloomberg, the Obama administration will momentarily announce that current blend limits of 10 percent on ethanol in gasoline will be increased to 15 percent (E-15). Research has been ongoing on the impact of higher blends on the functioning of vehicles not built to handle higher blends. Older cars and other types of gasoline-powered vehicles such as boats are believed most as risk. Access the Bloomberg story here.
Thanks to Ron Steenblik for making me aware of a top 10 enemies list, recently developed by Tom Waterman at The Ethanol Monitor. Alas, neither Ron nor I made it. We'll just have to try harder I suppose. Robert Bryce, who has also been critical of the industry for some years, and has written a good summary of the whole affair, did squeek by with an honorable mention.

Outside of a duel, PvP fighting is possible but discouraged. When one player attacks another, a self-defense system is activated, in which the attacked player may kill the aggressor within a time limit. Self-defense is also activated when a player attacks an Elf's summoned creature. If one player kills another without Self-defense active, they become an Outlaw, more commonly known in-game as "Player Killer" or PK. Outlaws have disadvantages during game play, depending on his Outlaw level.
To clear the Outlaw status, the character must wait a significant amount of time without killing other players. The waiting can be shortened by killing large number of monsters, which is generally done in one of the servers that does not permit PvP attacks, to avoid being attacked by another person (NON-PVP). The amount of time reduced from the outlaw penalty is equal to the monster's level in seconds, and depending on the number of monsters killed, the penalty time may be dramatically decreased.

To Thomas Jefferson from George Jefferson, 24 February 1798
From George Jefferson
Richmond February 24th. 1798.
Dear Sir,
I have received your favor of the 14th.—Your instructions respecting the wheat for the agricultural society, shall be strictly attended to.
I have been looking out for such as you describe, but have not yet been able to meet with any; though hope soon to procure some which is genuine.
Mr. Buchanan has shewn me your lot of ground. a Mr. Gaddy has enclosed a small part of it, on which he has built a stable. I called to speak to him upon the subject, but found he was out of Town, and probably will be for some time. The lot is much injured by having been used as a road—it is further injured by the washing of the river, which at a small expence I think might be remedied. Should Gaddy raise no difficulty I believe I will enclose it, and sow it in clover for my Horse, & perhaps put a stable on it.
Your stoves & hoop iron have been forwarded to Milton by Johnston. The Schooner John Brown has not yet arrived.
I am Dear Sir Very sincerely Yours
Geo. Jefferson
RC (MHi); at foot of text: "Thomas Jefferson esqr."; endorsed by TJ as received 5 Mch. 1798 and so recorded in SJL.

For Kevin Yang, his breakout moment, like many designers, started in a scale that was personal to him. From there he grew his career to focusing on other personal things that matter to others; the everyday things. "I remember how excited I was to have finally gotten on Dribbble. I'd say after a year on Dribbble I was beginning to really connect with the community on there and as a result started to get traction."
"Remember when forums were a thing? Back then folks had rectangular graphics underneath their posts commonly referred to as "signatures". Well I made hundreds of them during middle school. Way back before I had any formal design training. I was just a kid who was messing around in Photoshop and Illustrator. I guess not much has changed since then." – Kevin.
Working at a brand designer at Digital Ocean during the day he collaborates with the team on identity and direction (since then Yang has moved on to Riot Games). Refocusing the users eyes on particular moments is something he is shines at. That's why his project Brewski.es is another personal identifier for many people. "The Beer Project started with a six pack of Dos Equis and some time to spare. Shortly after, a few of my friends pushed me to turn this into a series. Since then, I've tried to knock out one of these illustrations — along with its respective six pack each week. This series originally lived on Dribbble but I've decided that it might be time for this project to live on its own on its Brewski.es domain". And it has ever since, become a sensation that seems to put smiles on users eyes. Through its simplicity it has a more definitive approach to critical humor. The series offers a gallant way to showcase the term "flat" design while offering subjective knowledge to relate which icon fits what brew type.
Sitting down with Kevin we talk about how he spends his days, "I spend most of the day just trying not to set things on fire. When I'm not doing that I typically do a mix of illustration and web design. When I get home I usually focus on my personal projects or freelance depending on how badly I've managed my time haha." Learning about Yang instills a sense of humbleness, and his story still seems to be a mystery. Taking us through his side project, Brewskies and more we learn that design for Yang is a lifestyle.
What does it mean to be a creative leader?
The creative leaders I respect the most are the ones who give back to the design community. I think it's very easy to develop an ego once you become a leader. The best creative leaders stay grounded and build other creatives up as opposed to tearing them down.
What is your greatest argument (fight) regarding design – was this at work?
My girlfriend and I have different views on design thinking and design process. I come from a very analytical background whereas she comes from a fine art background. If I was to boil it all down, I would say that I typically try to be as creative as possible within the constraints whereas she questions the constraints a bit more and often tries to redefine them. (How did you solve it?) I'll let you know when I do :D.
With the advent of publishing platforms and social media, what is your go to for sharing?
I typically use Dribbble, Behance, and Instagram for sharing work.
What other creatives do you look up too, who is your motivational creative influence?
Ahh so many. I'm really inspired by the work of Nick Slater, Shawna X, Ryan Putnam and Steve Wolf.
Younger creatives struggle with choosing freelancing and or getting a part time gig at an agency? What is your take?
Chase the work that you want to do. For some that means freelancing, for others that means going the agency route. Don't worry about the gig, focus on the work that you will ultimately be doing at the gig.
What particular world issue if you could, with all the money in the world want to try to solve? And How?
This is a tough question because many of the problems that I feel like need to be solved cannot be solved with all the money in the world, most of them start with people finding the will to change. A problem that definitely can be solved with all the money in the world is education. I've been very fortunate to have very good teachers, and I think it's totally possible for everyone to have an education that will help them achieve their dreams in life. All we have to do is properly incentivize teachers. I think education is an unbelievably hard design problem, and our best and brightest designers typically focus their attention elsewhere simply because the incentive isn't always there — and that's a shame.
What is your take home advice?
As an upcoming creative myself, I might not be the best person to answer this! Someone a while ago told me that anyone can learn from someone who is better than them. What's much more rare is a person who is able to learn from those who aren't as good as they are. I think that comes from just staying humble, hungry, and curious.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Southern will call a special board meeting to discuss the Chancellor's contract. Students had asked for the meeting to protest the board's recent decision to not renew Jim Llorens contract.
They say this is a "huge step."
"The board listened," said SGA President Simone Bray. "They responded to what we felt . We just made a huge step."
The students have been protesting since Friday when the board made the decision.
They setup a Facebook page, held a meeting Monday night that drew hundreds, and held a sit-in Tuesday at President Ronald Mason's office.
The students say the chancellor has done a great job and they don't want him to leave.
Llorens contract expires in June. Llorens added he was not interested in a contract extension because the president wanted to take over some of the duties and he wasn't comfortable with that.
The meeting date has not been scheduled yet.

Yesterday marked two important anniversaries for the destruction of urban fabric. On the one hand there were prominent commemoration ceremonies to mark the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. 9th November 1989 was the date on which border security was eased and freedom of movement across the wall was allowed. 9th November thus marks the date on which the wall's dividing power – ostensibly the purpose that gave the structure meaning – ended. It is thus the anniversary of a symbolic destruction.
Of course, real destruction followed symbolic destruction. As the security that maintained the wall's dividing power was eased individuals ('Mauerspechte' or 'wall woodpeckers') chipped away at the wall, eroding the structure that had embodied the cold war division of Europe. Ultimately East and West German authorities removed large parts of the structure. The wall was thus erased from Berlin's urban fabric, save for some remnants that serve largely as a memorialisation of Cold War history.
Overall this is an anniversary that is viewed in a positive light: it is urban destruction as a politically progressive force. Conceptually, it represents a moment in which an urban edifice that prevented the establishment of a common political space (indeed, in relation to which two, separate and opposed spaces were constituted) was destroyed in order to give the possibility of rearticualting political space in an inclusive, rather than divided, manner. It is important to note that this stands as a rebuttal to anyone who interprets urban destruction as necessarily reactionary and undesirable. Sometimes destruction of urban fabric opens up important political possibilities.
This is worth bearing in mind as a counter to the conservatism that is sometimes perceived in the concept of urbicide. Some readers have perceived my argument – that buildings are constitutive of an existential heterogeneity – to imply that all buildings should be saved. That this is a mistaken reading is highlighted by the case of the Berlin wall. Urbicide is a widespread and systematic destruction of buildings that seeks to disavow heterogeneity in a given urban environment. This is only one way in which buildings can be destroyed. It is important to remember, therefore, that not all cases of urban destruction are cases of urbicide. It is also possible that the destruction of a building – a wall, for example – might not be part of such a logic and might even open up new political spaces by changing the coordinates around which the networks of identity\difference constitutive of any society are oriented. The fall of the Berlin Wall is thus a reminder that urban destruction comes in many forms – of which urbicide is merely one.
On the other hand, 9th November also marks the destruction of the Stari Most, or Old bridge, in Mostar. As I have written elsewhere, this instance of destruction has much more affinity with urbicide. As part of the assault on the urban fabric of Bosnia, the destruction of the bridge by Bosnian Croat forces in 1993 was part of a wider attempt to disavow the plurality of Bosnian society. It was, thus, part of a widespread and deliberate destruction of buildings as that which is constitutive of heterogeneity. Often abstracted as a prominent example of the destruction of cultural heritage, the destruction of the Old Bridge is, I would argue, better seen in the context of the widespread destruction of Bosnian towns and cities in the 1992-1995 war.
Many observers have focused on the manner in which the destruction of the bridge could be seen as a dividing gesture. Indeed, much has been made of the supposed way in which the bridge separated Croat east and 'Muslim' west Mostar. Similarly, much is made of the symbolic impact of this prominent symbolic enactment of division – a televised performance of the central notion underscoring the ethnic nationalist politics that fuelled Bosnia's war: namely that separate ethnicities could not exist in co-mingled communities and must, instead, occupy territorially separate domains.
Some commentators have pointed out the factual inaccuracy of regarding the bridge as a dividing point. They rightly note that Mostar itself was divided at the Bulevar Narodne Revolucije. This factual correction, however, misses the point to my mind. The destruction of the urban environment in the towns and cities of Bosnia sought more than simple division or separation of ethnically homogenised territories. Rather it sought to disavow the very presence of heterogeneity itself. In this light where the dividing line really was – though not irrelevant – is not the main focus of attention. The main focus of attention should be the manner in which destruction of buildings such as the Stari Most was part of a widespread and deliberate destruction of urban fabric in order to disavow the heterogeneity they are constitutive of.
Of course, the Stari Most has been rebuilt. This should not, however, hide the attempt to destroy the urban fabric of Bosnia. Nor should it be construed as having reversed the ethnic nationalist program of disavowal of heterogeneity. Indeed, the persistent division of Mostar stands as a reminder of that program.
These anniversaries thus throw different lights on the nature of urban destruction and its role in the constitution of political space. While we celebrate the unification of Germany and the ending of the Cold War, we would do well to remember the urbicidal destruction wrought on Bosnia and the questions it continues to pose despite efforts at reconstruction and reconciliation.

Putting a player with a contract like DiPietro's in the minors usually signals that the player will never suit up for the NHL club again. The player generally spends the rest of their contracted playing years in the minors, eventually either being bought out by the team or working their craft in the minors indefinitely.
It's been a long time coming, but the Islanders finally have decided that having DiPietro on the roster was no longer the best thing for the team.
Nearly two and a half years ago, as DiPietro was on his way back from a knee injury, Chris Botta wondered on this blog if it was time for the team to make DiPietro attempt his comeback in the AHL:
[sny-box color=E6F1FF]"...you wonder when the conversation turns to what is best for the long-term playing future of Rick DiPietro. If the goalie is not yet at his best, no one is doing DiPietro any favors. LeBrun also noted in his column DiPietro's "close relationship with Islanders owner Charles Wang."
...What DiPietro is trying to overcome has been minimized by the national media. The only question that should be answered in the next two weeks is, where is it truly best for the goaltender to be attempting his comeback?"[/sny-box]
It was abundantly clear that the team had soured on DiPietro this year. In 2011-12 the Islanders had carried three NHL goalies to keep DiPietro on the roster while guarding against injury, a plan that failed and created a circus around the goaltending position. In years past, they seemingly made every attempt to let DiPietro fully recover and regain his starting job something that never panned out given his injuries. This year, the Islanders only went to DiPietro when they had to for back-to-back games, as Evgeni Nabokov needed rest in those situations.
What lies ahead for the netminder is unclear. The Islanders could buy DiPietro out, or they could let him play in Bridgeport indefinitely.
(Ed note: The original version of this story mentioned that the Islanders could buy out DiPietro immediately, a la Scott Gomez and Wade Redden. This is inaccurate, as that would have had to occurred before the start of the season, and the post has been edited to reflect this.)
If they choose to buy him out, DiPietro needs to be injury free at that time -- teams cannot buyout injured players.
If the team does choose to buy him out in the summer, there are two ways the Islanders could do so. The first is under the old buyout rule, like how Alexei Yashin was bought out, where the player recieves two-thirds of the money due to him and his cap hit is counted against the cap for twice the remaining years on the contract. Capgeek breaks this down perfectly:
So, if the Islanders were to buyout DiPietro this summer under the traditional buyout rules, he would be a $1.5 million cap hit until 2028-29.
Alternatively, they could use one of the amnesty buyouts that were a part of the new CBA, where DiPietro is bought out and his cap hit disappears entirely. Teams get to use one of these in the summer of 2013 and one in the summer of 2014. For a team that just acquired Tim Thomas for cap purposes, this option seems unlikely.
Of course, the team could simply let DiPietro play out his career in Bridgeport. They're paying him money whether they buy him out of the contract or not, so maybe they let him be. DiPietro's cap hit would still count if he's in the minors, less $900,000, per the rules of the new CBA. This being the Islanders, who took a few years too many to waive him, it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that they have him play in Bridgeport for an extended period of time.
The only way the team is off the hook for his salary is if DiPietro retires.
General Manager Garth Snow was mum on buying out DiPietro, when reached by ESPN New York on Friday.
[sny-box]"We haven't given that any consideration at this point," Snow said when reached by phone Friday afternoon. "I'm not gonna speculate what the future may hold."[/sny-box]
Either way, this is a step towards the future for the Islanders and away from the past. DiPietro is one of only two players left in the organization drafted by Mike Milbury. It also seems like it will be the final chapter in the long saga of DiPietro.
After the 2005-06 season he was signed to the unbelievable 15-year deal, which is what he'll always be remembered for. He had two good years following the ink drying on the contract, and ended up starting in the 2008 All-Star Game after Martin Brodeur dropped out. In that All-Star Game, DiPietro got injured while mic'ed up in front of a national TV audience and was never the same again. He sustained a multitude of injuries over the last five years. Now, he's headed to Bridgeport.
This won't be the last story we'll ever have about DiPietro, but it's the first one where all parties involved can start moving forward.

Why should we try to avoid pesticides? Click here for PESTICIDES IN OUR FOOD: Non-Toxic Munchkin's ABC's
While we can't eliminate pesticides completely from our diet (sadly even organic rice can even have traces of dangerous chemicals : "organic" doesn't necessarily mean "pesticide-free," ) a 1996 study on children's exposure to pesticides found that "an organic diet provides a dramatic and immediate protective effect against exposures to organophosphorus pesticides that are commonly used in agricultural production "
Here are some suggestions from Mt Sinai's Children's Environmental Health Center for reducing pesticides in our diets.
1. Buy organic when available and affordable. Look for the USDA Certified Organic
2. Buy Local produce – If organic produce is unavailable or exorbitantly priced ( Food that
must be transported large distances is often picked unripe, chemically ripened and loaded
with preservatives for trip to its final destination)
3. Not all fruits and vegetables are created equal when it comes to absorption of pesticides. Fruits with thick skins are safer to purchase non organic. According to the Environmental Working Group, produce that does not have to be organic:
- onions
-sweet corn (frozen)
- pineapples
- avocados
- asparagus
- sweet peas (frozen)
- mangoes
- eggplant
- US grown Cantaloupe
- Kiwi
- cabbage
- watermelon
- sweet potatoes
- grapefruit
- mushrooms
4. Fruits you definitely want to buy organic (those that absorb the highest rates of pesticides) are (in order of highest levels of pesticides to lower):
- celery
- strawberries
- peaches
- spinach
- imported nectarines
- imported grapes
- sweet bell peppers
- potatoes
- US grown blueberries
- lettuce
- kale
5. When cleaning fruits and vegetables use running water instead of soaking! Who knew, but running water apparently will remove most surface waxes and pesticide residues,
along with dirt and bacteria. Peeling fruits and vegetables also removes surface
residues (note: peeling will not remove pesticides in fruits that have absorbed them!).
6. Another great alternative, if you have the space and time, is to grow some of your own fruits or vegetables... this way you can make certain they remain pesticide free and affordable!

If you follow me on Instagram (@amlarson3), you saw that we finally got our Christmas lights organized while taking everything down this year. Not sure why we always tried to shove them back in the box or wound them up and threw them in a bin. We got smart this year. Cut out a small piece of cardboard and start winding. One strand of lights per one piece of cardboard. Genius. Free. Why.did.I.not.think.of.this.before.
I just have to get my hubby up on a ladder this weekend to get the outside lights taken down. That's the last of Christmas around here…I'm so over it!
And don't forget to recycle your real tree if you haven't already!
Happy weekend, friends!

4 Cylinder
Volvo details downsized VEA four-cylinder gas and diesel engines
Swedish automaker Volvo says it will take the "next step towards zero emissions" with the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show unveiling of downsized four-cylinder gas and diesel engines. Peter Mertens, Volvo's senior vice-president of research and development, claims:
Engine displacement tax could convince automakers to focus on smaller powerplants
Last year, the state of Washington contemplated a tax that would be placed on vehicles dependent upon the displacement of its engine. The displacement tax was eventually discarded but not forgotten. Automakers noted the possibility of this tax cropping up again in the future and marked it in their books.
BMW/PSA engines to be used in more than just the MINI, 7-series hybrid coming
BMW and PSA teamed up to produce the 1.6-liter four-cylinder currently found in the R56 MINI Cooper, but according to an interview with BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer, the four-pot will also find its way into the BMW 1-series. The pre-release of his interview in the Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung didn't divulge which models would benefit from the four-cylinder engine, whether it will be available in both naturally aspirated or turbocharged guise or what markets in which it will be sold.
Chevy offering up new Malibu with four-cylinder engine
When the Chevy Malibu was launched back in the fall, we were promised a four cylinder version mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and it's finally here. The newest Malibu will achieve 22 mpg in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway, which is a monumental improvement over the 17/26 fuel economy of the 3.6L V6. The four cylinder LTZ will not only save green-backs at the pump, but it'll also cost less at the dealers
Lutz says GM considering 2.0-liter turbo for Camaro
A four-banger in a Camaro! Blasphemy you say? Could be, but what four-pot are we talking about? In this case, the General's car czar Bob Lutz suggests that the new 2010 Camaro due next February could offer the same 2.0 liter direct-injected engine used in the Saturn Sky Redline, Pontiac Solstice GXP and the SS v
On again, off again: BMW and Daimler may enter engine partnership
It's been rumored for some time and the newest comments from BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer is further proof that the propeller people are looking to get in bed with other automakers to cut the high costs of engine development and production.

Juanacatlan, Mascota, Jalisco
A remote lake surrounded by steeply emerging hills seems an unlikely place for an exclusive resort. But now, from the visionary folks who brought you the luxurious Garza Blanca beach resort, comes a vacation spot that must be seen to be believed.
The climb to Lake Juanacatlan is slow, as the road – alternately paved, cobblestoned and unpaved – clings to hillsides, affording magnificent views of valleys ringed by the westernmost peaks of the Sierra Madre mountain range. There is hardly any traffic, except for the occasional pilgrim, on foot or on horseback, heading to pay homage to the Virgin of Talpa. Finally, a large gate with an elaborate overhead sign welcomes you to Sierra Lago, an enclave of luxury and serenity overlooking the beautiful crater lake that bears the name of a neighboring village.
The epitome of a "get away from it all" retreat, Sierra Lago is an atypical resort belonging to the Villa Group, known more for its sprawling mass-market beach properties near such popular tourist destinations as Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos. Comprising only 10 units – four rooms and six cabins – Sierra Lago is a place where nature envelops visitors without overwhelming them.
As befits such surroundings, check-in is outside, an informal procedure witnessed by a gray macaw that may just surprise you with his raucous greeting of "Hola!" Inside the main building is less of a lobby than a spacious sitting room, decorated with antiques and filled with comfortable couches and chairs arrayed in front of a large fireplace.
The cozy bar is conveniently right there as well. One can sit at the small horseshoe bar or in a cushy armchair, nursing a drink from the small but adequate selection. The specialty is the house tequila: a smooth distillation prepared locally (Jalisco is, after all, the leading tequila–producing state in Mexico) especially for Sierra Lago.
It is but a few steps from the bar and lounge to the dining area, where tables are set elegantly along the huge picture window, affording all diners the same pleasing view guests enjoy from their cabins. Given the size of the hotel, the menu is understandably limited; but the food is as good as in any larger establishment. This is especially important in a place where there are no real dining options off the property, and virtually all guests choose the full–board plan for the duration of their stay.
There is no chef at Sierra Lago, rather a cocinera, a female cook with the experience of a grandmother who gets creative with classic Mexican dishes. (This is a common set–up found in many superb hotel kitchens in central Mexico, as well as some very good restaurants, such as Marantina in Puerto Vallarta.) The ingredients from the surrounding countryside are exceedingly fresh, including the fish and seafood, which come from the coast only 2.5 hours away by road. The shrimp pasta in chipotle sauce, for example, is terrific.
The spa menu is limited, but it does cover most of the bases: three types of massage (including aromatherapy and hot stone), two kinds of facials, and reflexology. Massages are administered in an open-air gazebo by the side of the soothing lake.
There is plenty to do besides eat and be pampered — although the temptation simply to relax in one of the comfortable hammocks is always there. The lake offers kayaking, pedal boats and fishing. Swimming is discouraged in the cold, deep water, but there is a floating deck offshore for sunbathing and quick dips. On dry land, choose among tennis, hiking, bicycling, mountain biking, horseback riding, and horse–drawn carriage rides. Indoor options include a game room with a pool table and assortment of board games. Most activities are available at no extra charge.
Spacious guest cabins (cabana suites) overlook the lake and are extremely well equipped, in a style that might best be described as "rustic elegant," using natural wood and stone. Each cabin features a wood–burning fireplace and can sleep up to four people, in a kingndash;size bed and a couch that pulls out into a double bed. Other highlights include whirlpool bathtubs, bathrobes and slippers, large–screen flat TVs with satellite programming, sound systems, and an expansive porch from which to enjoy the view.
These are worth the upgrade over the lower–priced non–suites (called standard cabanas, even though they are rooms that share a common verandah) as these have fewer amenities: no television, whirlpool or fireplace.
This is the first year Sierra Lago, a member of Mexico Boutique Hotels, is beginning to market to foreign tourists, after achieving success in the Mexican market; in preparation, the staff is taking English lessons.

Total Number of Rooms: 24
Published rates: $336 to $548 (per couple, all inclusive plan)

We love books and we love educational apps, so you can imagine how much we enjoy quality book apps for the iPad and iPhone.
I was recently given the opportunity to review the app The Nativity Story, by Puddle Tap Publishing, which is a beautiful retelling of the original Christmas story. The app is done in book format, retold by Michael Seidelman.
The app opens with the music to The First Noel, and you can choose from English, French or Spanish. The fact that it is offered in Spanish is a bonus, because we can have a fun immersion experience with this app to aid in our foreign language studies. There is a Read by Myself option for independent readers, but the Read to Me option includes the printed words and the audio, for a multi-sensory experience. Created with classic woodcut style illustrations, this app is absolutely beautiful. There is a charming vintage feel. It's also like a pop-up/interactive style book, where the kids can touch and swipe the screen to ring the bell, knock on the door, make people talk, or create music. There were some liberties taken with the conversational parts, and sometimes the voices were a little awkward, but the app is is definitely engaging and interactive.
Emory and Daddy "reading" the book one night on daddy's phone
The app is compatible with both iPhone and iPad.
The Nativity Story Popup Deluxe Edition for iPad is $3.99
The Nativity Story Popup Mini Edition for iPhone is $1.99
The Nativity Story app is recommended for ages 2-8 and I find this accurate. The app is engaging, easy to navigate, and the various interactive options make it appealing to the wide age range. I believe it is a great family app, and perfect for the Christmas season!

Benny Golson to perform at Township Jazz Festival
The Township Jazz Festival is thrilled to welcome one of the great links to the Golden Era of modern jazz!
Raised with an impeccable musical pedigree, Golson has played in the bands of world famous Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Earl Bostic and Art Blakey. Few jazz musicians can claim to be true innovators and even fewer can boast of a performing and recording career that literally redefines the term "jazz." Benny Golson has made major contributions to the world of jazz with such jazz standards as:
Killer Joe
I Remember Clifford
Along Came Betty
Whisper Not
Blues March
Five Spot After Dark
Are you Real?
Benny Golson is the only living jazz artist to have written 8 standards for jazz repertoire.
Township Jazz Festival is Saturday, April 21 at The Township at Colony Park.

I have always believed that the best marketing concepts involve humor. Commercials that use humor to sell their product seem to be much more widely distributed. These types of commercials tend to reach far beyond their original target markets. This is largely due to the internet. People tend to pass these videos around like wildfire.
A great example of this is the Trunk Monkey series of commercials used by Suburban Auto Group. The commercials promote a local car dealership, but they have been more widely viewed online than they ever where in their small local targeted area.
Another great example of this type of promotion is the recent short film released from Covad. The film uses suspense, and in turn humor, to publicize its products in the Voice Over IP market. The promotion is interesting and intended to get peoples attention. And, this type of promotion should have a more lasting effect as the link to the site is passed around over time.
These types of promotions are perfect for the internet. People enjoy them and they tell their friends. In time, the promotion only stands to gather a wider customer base because it will last longer than the marketing campaign that created it.
Check out both of these sites. They are both a lot of fun.

Universal Pictures is currently working for the script and looking for ways to get Channing Tatum for the lead role for the Van Helsing reboot.
The Van Helsing reboot was rumored to join the "Dark Universe" of Universal Pictures that started from "The Mummy" with Tom Cruise. Despite its negative reviews from the critics and box office disappointment, they would still continue to build up the Dark Universe. Russell Crowe's Dr Jekyll will definitely tie up everything with the upcoming films, The Bride of Frankenstein, in which they're targeting Angelina Jolie for the lead role and to be directed by Bill Condon. Followed by The Invisible Man with Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem as the Frankenstein.
So how will Helsing fit in this shared universe? Is he going to eliminate all the monsters? We expect a lot of action from this film and hopefully this is not another box office let down.

PRODUCT NAME: Magic in your mind
OWNER/COACH: Bob Proctor
REFUND: Yes. 7-day full money back guarantee
MAIN IDEA: A 6-week program. Each week focusing on a different mental faculty
WHO IS IT FOR: People who want to attract more abundance by developing their higher faculties
In this review of Bob Proctor's "Magic in your mind" program, I'll be covering the theory behind the program, and its pros and cons compared to other Bob's programs out there.
Pay close attention to the review because by the end of the review you will know if this program is for you, and if you want to invest your time and money into it.
Raymond Holiwell, in his excellent book "working with the law" says that:
Each normal person is endowed with a complete set of faculties which, if properly developed and scientifically applied, will ensure success, ever growing success
"Magic in your mind" is a 6-week coaching program that focuses on improving exactly those faculties, in order to let anyone experience more success and fulfillment in their life.
The success playing field is always even. The really successful people have no inherent traits that you and I don't possess. The main difference between a really successful person to most population is the practice and use of his higher faculties.
Each of us has 6 higher faculties which are:
- Reason
- Imagination
- Perception
- Memory
- Will
- Intuition
How we use those higher faculties in our day to day, is what will determine our success in whatever we want to achieve. The more we practice and use these faculties, the better our life would be. The more developed our faculties, the more success we will experience.
We also have 5 senses. We can hear, see, taste, smell, and touch. This is where most people get their information from. This is the reason why most people live their life from the outside in. This means that they think the world is operating in a certain way based on what they receive from their 5 senses. The truth is, this is not the case. We have the power to change our reality using our higher faculties.
In each week of the program, you will receive an audio coaching session from Either Bob proctor or Marry Morrissey. Each of these coaching sessions explains in depth what exactly each faculty is, and how we can best use it to enhance our results in life.
In addition, the program provides a daily video from sandy Gallagher with exercises that are tailored specifically to practice and improve the specific faculty that is currently being studied. These lessons include techniques on how to improve your memory, how to be able to "feel" what other people feel using your intuition and how to adopt a positive perspective on anything using your perception.
By the end of each week, you will develop each one your higher faculties, and you would also know how to use each one more effectively in order to achieve better results in your life. Not only this, but in the end of those 6 weeks you will become more aware of the gifts you already possess within you in order to create the life you want, AND you will have the tools to use these gifts effectively.
Pros and cons
- Develops faculties and traits that we don't usually pay attention to, in our day to day lives.
- Increases our awareness to the faculties we already have and how we are currently using them unconsciously
- Gives practical tools to improve ourselves and our faculties
- Presented by the best teachers in the world for this material
- Not that efective – all though the tools are great, it's hard to accomplish much in such a short time to practice all of the techniques
- Short program – I personally think we need much more than 1 week in order to develop each faculty.
- A bit pricey compared to bob's other program – I believe that Bob has another excellent program called six minutes to success which costs less, but is also very effective.
Final opinion
I really think "Magic in your mind" is a great program but I'm not sure it really achieves what it sets out to do.
It focuses on something most people don't give enough attention to, and if they would have, their life would greatly improve. For example, the slightest shift in perception, if practiced and used on a daily basis, can change our life for the better.
The program is presented by the best teachers in the world for this kind of material and it
also enables us to really invest times in ourselves and improve ourselves in a way that not many programs do. Since we don't usually save time to develop our intuition, perception, memory etc. the fact that this program forces us to do so is excellent.
However, I also think that the program is a bit short. One week to work on each faculty is not enough in my opinion. All though the insights are excellent, and the exercises can be performed over and over again, my feeling is that the program doesn't go deep enough to really let us get familiar with our faculties. I think that if each faculty was discussed two weeks rather than one, there was even greater value to the program.

This bar-code number lets you confirm that you simply're getting precisely the best version or edition of a guide. In 1977, following a collection of scandals involving bribery by U. S. companies overseas together with the Lockheed $12 million bribery case that led to the fall of the Japanese authorities on the time, the U. S. government passed the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
All enterprise choices and activities goal to improve the RBE's enterprise efficiency; to help build social capital in its financial system; and to work with leaders in enterprise, government, and civil society to develop the important market-oriented authorized framework and reliable judicial establishments.
The social accountability motion arose particularly through the Nineteen Sixties with increased public consciousness concerning the position of business in serving to to cultivate and preserve extremely moral practices in society and significantly within the pure atmosphere.
For help determining what areas of business ethics to cowl on this entry, I thank Dorothea Baur, George Brenkert, Jason Brennan, David Dick, Edwin Hartman, Laura Hartman, Woon Hyuk Jay Jang, Chris MacDonald, Emilio Marti, Dominic Martin, Eric Orts, Sareh Pouryousefi, Abraham Singer, Alejo José G. Sison, and Chris Surprenant.
Church attendance, volunteering at charitable operations, spending time with our children and even family dinners all see will increase throughout recessions and I am positive that will be the case when historical past is recorded on the 2008-2009 recession.
