I had an amazing time at Brandcation in Pigeon Forge, TN, but it couldn't have happened without our wonderful sponsors. First of all we stayed in a beautiful cabin thanks to Cabin Fever Vacations. (You can read more about it here.) Our first day activity was Dixie Stampede– an amazing family dinner show. Day two we went to Dollywood which is an all inclusive place to stay and play and The Lumberjack Feud which is a hilarious family friendly dinner show. Day three was crazy busy with The Titanic Museum, which I loved, read more here, Climb Works Ziplining, the best ziplines ever, Hollywood Wax Museum (which I didn't make it to) and the 80s party sponsored by Flashing Blinky Lights.
I also wanted to thank all of our swag sponsors. We've definitely been enjoying it all at home!
- Natures One: They had Pedia Smart samples for us to try. Sadly, I forgot to pick some up.
- K'Nex Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs: My kids are loving the Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. My oldest has always loved "Linky Logs"
- Lou Babs & Moogs: Gave us very cool Flying Wish Paper which I can't wait to try out with my daughter.
- Blingles: Blingles are cute little stick on rhinestones to Bling out your cell phone or whatever you'd like. (They do not work on skin, fyi.)
- The Trash Pack: These are little squishy characters that come in mini garbage cans that kids can collect. Mine all loved thiers.
- Sportline Pedometers: Cool pedometers that can be kept in your pocket and it counts steps, measures distance, calulates calories burned, monitors speed and tracks time spent moving each day. (I'll be doing a giveaway for these)
- Cascade Ice Water: They stocked our cabin with flavored waters and drink mixers. I tend to stick to plain water, so I did not try any. I heard some girls saying they were good, though! I wanted to try the Pina Colada mixer but didn't have any alcohol to try it.
- Group Gifting: MyGiftWand is a web and mobile app that offers exclusive discounts and deals on the gifts consumers to give to friends, family, and even themselves. They currently carry eGift Cards from over 40 national brands. They gave us a $10 Gap eGift card.
- StoreSmart: They gave us a cool plastic folder storage starter kit to try out.
- Orbeez: They were one of our giveaway sponsors. "Orbeez are wet and wacky, soft and squishy, fun and funky, bouncy and beautiful. They start off hard and tiny. Add water and watch them grow to 100 times their volume."
- Fab Kids: was our other giveaway sponsor. They are a company that puts together a custom built outfit for your daughter for $39.95 a month. There's never an obligation to buy, though. If you don't like the outfit that month you don't need to purchase it.
I had an excellent time that weekend. Please look into visiting any of those places mentioned above if in the Pigeon Forge, TN area and please think about visiting our sponsors for some fun presents. If we have another Brandcation, be sure to sign up right away. They are the most amazing trips you could ever go on.

New games and an updated site use bells and whistles to engage kids in art
November 17, 2008
LOS ANGELES—What if the J. Paul Getty Museum's paintings were in pieces, and kids had to put them back together again? Or if someone switched the details on works of art, and kids had to find the changes? That's the world of GettyGames, the J. Paul Getty Museum's newly updated web feature that uses game strategies to help kids focus on art.
On GettyGames, youngsters can reassemble Van Gogh's Irises from jigsaw puzzle pieces, find the changed details in Walker Evans' Two Elderly Men Conversing, and match the animals on Breughels' Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark. If kids become intrigued by the artwork while they're playing the game, they can click and learn more about the artist and the work.
The updated GettyGames features improved navigation and richer content, in response to requests from kids and their parents. "We surveyed our users and took their advice by adding many more games and puzzles and more artworks to see and learn about," says Toby Tannenbaum, assistant director for education at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
And there are, literally, more bells and whistles. "The site now features lively sound," says Tannenbaum. "Kids told us they wanted reinforcement when they gave a correct answer in a game, so now they get fun noises when they make choices."
The GettyGames site, reached at www.getty.edu/gettygames, offers the following games:
• Detail Detective – where kids match the right detail with the painting it comes from
• Match Madness – where kids click on cards to turn them over and find the matching pairs
• Switch – where kids find the differences in two seemingly identical artworks
• Jigsaw Puzzle – where kids reassemble paintings
In addition, there are art projects to download and complete at home, allowing kids to make bookmarks in the style of illuminated manuscripts, wheat stacks like Monet's, or a Mardi Gras mask reminiscent of James Ensor's Christ's Entry into Brussels.
Ideally, of course, once kids have explored a work of art through GettyGames, they'll want to see the real thing. "We hope GettyGames inspires families to come visit the artworks they've explored online," says Tannenbaum.

Written by a contributing writer
If you ask someone why they don't go to the gym, you'll get a range of answers. Some will say it's because they don't like the prices; others will shrug off the idea they should be exercising at all. Overwhelmingly, however, you will find the following line trotted out as a reason for why they don't go: "I just don't have the time!"
In the modern, busy, relentless world, that's probably not an excuse - it's a reality. This is especially true if you're a mom, constantly running from one playdate to the next while trying to juggle your work life and everything else that needs to happen for life to function as normal. Can you find time in the middle of all that just to work out? Probably not.
Yet somehow, people do manage it, eschewing at home fitness ideas in preference for the ritualistic trip to the gym. If you're struggling to balance the books in terms of time, it might help you to learn just how they manage it…
They… Pick The Right Gym
What are your kids going to be doing while you're at the gym? Well, if you pick the right establishment, then they could be having the time of their lives. It's becoming more standard now for gyms to have on-site child care facilities, meaning you can leave your kids to their fun while you go and work up a sweat. Older children might even be tempted to come with you into your workout, especially if you're going to be swimming. There doesn't have to be a straight choice between ensuring your kids are taken care of and getting your workout in - you just need the right place, that lets you do both!
They… Make Use Of The Whole Clock
We know that a day is technically 24 hours, but we tend to be consumed with other things for much of it. Eight hours for work, one hour for travel, seven hours for sleep (if it's a good night…) - so where can you fit the gym into that?
Many people have found the answer by using the likes of 24hrlocator.com to find a gym that's open at all times. That way, if you have a restless night, wake up early, or just like the idea of going for your workout when the gym will be quieter, you have got the option for unusual opening hours. Make the most of the entire clock to fit everything you need to do in - it's almost too simple when you think about it, isn't it?
They… Keep Workouts Short
Science is proving that there's no need to go and slog it out for hours on end during your workout. Short, sharp, tough exercises done for a shorter amount of time are just as beneficial to health and fitness as longer options, as confirmed by washingtonpost.com.
By cutting down the amount of time you actually spend exercising, you'll find a lot more flex in your day planner. To make sure you're doing everything you should be in your shortened routine, it's worth a session with a gym instructor for a few pointers. With those established, you can stick to short bursts of activity that nevertheless keep you fit - and allow you to keep the rest of your life running as well.

The top court said it would cancel the spectrum licence if executives from Malaysia's Maxis Berhad, which owns 74% of Aircel's equity, do not appear in a lower court in the case related to Maran. The decision could affect the planned merger of the wireless businesses of Aircel and Reliance Communications.
Aircel plans to contend that the spectrum belongs to the company, a separate entity, and not Maxis, a person directly aware of the development told ET, asking not to be identified. A petition to this effect may be filed in the apex court as early as this week, the person said.
The telecom company may seek an opportunity to present its side of the issue and is likely to stress that any decision on its spectrum holding would have implications for stakeholders such as lenders, vendors and employees, apart from shareholders besides Maxis.
"Aircel is presently seeking legal advice on the effects of the orders passed by the Supreme Court on January 6, 2017, for appropriate steps, including preserving its assets," the company said in response to ET's queries on steps that it plans to take. "The business and operation of the company are continuing as usual."
Senior lawyer Harish Salve said he has been consulted on the matter, but did not comment further.
Last Friday, the Supreme Court gave Maxis Group owner T Ananda Krishnan and Maxis Communications Berhad two weeks to appear before the bench and explain their failure to answer criminal charges in a lower court or risk the cancellation of airwave licences belonging to Aircel. The court also barred the transfer or sale of Aircel's 2G airwaves in the interim.
The order could affect the transaction between Aircel and RCom, which are merging their wireless businesses in a new entity that will be equally owned by the founders of both companies. The deal is critical for both companies, which are struggling in the face of competition with India's largest operators Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular and new entrant Reliance Jio Infocomm amid strains on industry finances and brutal price wars.
Aircel may tell the apex court any coercive order would penalise multiple stakeholders, including more than 8,000 direct and indirect employees, about 91 million customers and vendors such as Nokia and Ericsson. The company has Rs 20,000 crore of debt, which is owed to State Bank of India and other nationalised banks.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has issued warrants against Krishnan and Maxis director Augustus Ralph Marshall, besides Maxis Communications and Astro All Asia Networks. They were named in an October 2014 case involving Maran who allegedly coerced then promoter C Sivasankaran to sell his stake in Aircel to Maxis in 2006 as part of a quid pro quo in the form of bribes. Maran has denied the charges.
ET reported on Monday that the CBI told the court in an affidavit on January 2 that Aircel is not accused in the case and that Maxis Communications holds Aircel stake through a subsidiary. The agency said that an arrest warrant is required to be issued and then proclamation of a person absconding can be issued, following which property of the accused can be attached.
"Given that Maxis Communications is a company, no warrant of arrest can be issued against it and therefore such accused company cannot be proclaimed as an absconder under Section 82 (of CrPC), and consequently no attachment of its properties such as shares of Aircel can be done under Section 83," the agency said in the affidavit, a copy of which was seen by ET.

California residents may not be aware that, between 2001 and 2010, average student debt for law students increased 50 percent. That means that most law graduates' earning power is nowhere near enough to pay their student-loan debt in a timely manner. Additionally, bankruptcy filings by college graduates in general rose by 20 percent between 2005 and 2010.
For law school students in California, the debt load is particularly heavy because of a diminishing job market. More and more law graduates are filing for bankruptcy protection while they take other jobs to help chip away at their onerous debt.
One 26-year-old law student filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy just before graduating because her chances of landing a job were so low. She currently lives with her mother and was able to find employment through a temporary employment agency, but she still may default on her loans. Since the young woman studied bankruptcy law in college, she opted to represent herself in bankruptcy court and discovered just how difficult federal law makes it to prove that student-loan debt will result in undue hardship for the debtor.
As readers may know, federal law prohibits courts from discharging student-loan debt except when it can be proven that the debt would cause undue hardship.
On average, law students borrow $70,000 to study at a public school and $106,000 to study at a private school. That there are so few legal jobs floating around in California or anywhere else has caused many of those students to default on their loans.
Residents in the Escondido area are likely confronting similar debt problems. For many individuals, Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection may be a much needed relief to help individuals restructure their debt and get their finances back in order. California debtors deserve to have some breathing room while they do their best to make a fresh financial start.

I have asked this of God. I continue to surrender my control and celebrate what is to come. Thank you God for all your guidance, love and light.
Michelle Veder
My life has been a roller coaster ride of happiness and sadness. I have the ability to discern others' experiences, relate them to my own, and see the beauty in their hearts. My own particular experience took a dramatic shift September 1, 2001. (For many, September 11, 2001, was their pivotal moment.) My sister-in-law and best friend, Kelly, was a huge support to me in Cincinnati, Ohio. I moved from Houston, Texas, to Cincinnati in1986 to be with my husband John. Kelly and I immediately realized we had a deep spiritual bond. When we would talk about life we vibrated with intense thoughts and sharing of ideas. As we got older and life encompassed us, we took different paths. I had children and pursued my search for happiness differently. Kelly was always so caring, loving, and giving to all she encountered. She had a light that shined like a fluttering butterfly. Every time Kelly and I were together, she expressed concern regarding my unhappiness and disconnection from my heart. I allowed the outside world to weaken my faith.
In 2001, my oldest son Alex started first grade and my son Zane was born. Kelly and I had been through many changes and continued the light of our friendship whenever we could. I worked at a salon as a nail technician and we found our time to support each other while pampering Kelly's soul through nails. We had standing appointments with extra exclusive time and I was excited that there was more time opening up for us to share.
September 1, 2001, changed my life forever… a pivotal moment of grief, pain, change, self-awareness and enlightenment. Actually, this change began two days earlier. Kelly lovingly called to cancel an appointment with me for a manicure. Ironically, I was going to call her to come in earlier so we could have more time together on Saturday, September 1, to talk about all that had happened the previous week. She explained she was being called into work to cover another shift and she was bummed that it interfered with our plans. She said she made some decisions about her future and was excited to share her ideas and was giving me special compliments on my abilities as a nail tech. I was trying to talk Kelly into not working so we could have our time and she shared she was really disappointed to have to cancel. She was frustrated over the commitment. There was nothing I could say to get Kel to change her mind. I jokingly told her she needed to quit one of her jobs. She said she loved me and I told her I could get her in next week. The next day, Kelly called to invite me to join her for an earring making class. I told her I was excited about this because I had bought tools the previous week to create with wire and I would schedule myself immediately. Kelly said I love you and that was the last time I heard her voice.
On Saturday, I went to work and filled in the time Kelly and I were suppose to share. My husband John called some time around noon to tell me Kelly had fallen down steps at work and hit her head. She was taken to University Hospital. He said she was in serious condition. I immediately thought to myself, "What is serious?" Serious is suppose to be upgraded to stable and then released in a week. They always say it is worse than it is. I asked if she was life-flighted to determine if this could be fatal. John did not know. I spent the next hour torn between my loyalties at work and to Kel. " Why?" Why did I not know my priorities? John called back saying she was life-flighted. "You need to come now." I canceled my clients and, of course, my loyalties were tested again. I allowed myself to be directed by someone else's pressure. Finally, I left the shop of crazy commitments and made my way to the hospital. I was numb and conscious of my disconnected state. I drove slowly in deep thought and told Kel that I loved her over and over. "She has to be Okay!" I was encouraging her to hold on to the people who loved her and I was trying to make sense of what was happening. "Where are my kids?" I prayed, I prayed, I prayed. I told Kel I would quit my job and take care of her the way she had taken care of me. I told her that her hubby, Dave, and John could work and I would be there for her. All you will need is rehab. "I love you Kel! It'll be Okay! It'll be Okay! Please don't leave us!" Immediately, I felt this overwhelming tingling sensation as if I was being comforted. I said, "No! No! It's bad -- you crossed over didn't you? Please come back! Oh Kel! It's too beautiful, isn't it? Please, no!" My body was shivering. She was with me, protecting and comforting. I said, "I love you Kel! I love you Kel! Please come back!"
I was still in denial when I reached the hospital. I believed Kel was going to be okay. I saw family and friends devastated, in shock, and in the greatest pain of their lives. We said our goodbyes. I tried to concentrate on her hands and the presence of her spirit in the room and mourned for David's and our loss. David and Kel were true soul mates. Kelly chose Dave from afar and did not let go of him. She always spoke of Dave with love and understanding.
I remember every second, every detail that unfolded - from the first phone call to finally surrendering the day to God's will. The drive home was a split second, connected to forever. "Forever! Forever! Forever!" The loss was unbearable. The sky was ablaze with the sun setting. Life goes on. It does not stop. "Please stop time!" Children needed to be fed and put to bed.
I was forever changed. The pain was deep. John stayed with Dave and I continued with my everyday life. It does not stop. Friends call, there is so much love. Friends share stories of their last moments with Kel and the shock of their loss. She created an unbelievable connection with every life she touched. She truly knew God's plan. She even extended the gift of a healthy life to another human being. Her love was far reaching. I could not even imagine how I was going to make sense of this tragedy.
God, Kel is so beautiful. I want to understand why this happened. "Why? Why? Why?" The physical why. What about the spiritual!! I search for answers. I pick up a book and it immediately opens to information about death. "Wow!" The healing has started. A friend shares her premonition of someone close passing, but would never have guessed Kel would be the one. "I need to make sense of this." I remember my last conversation with Kel and realize the last two days were about Kelly sharing her love with me. "I am so blessed to have had that time."
I ask a friend to take the earring making class with me so that I could celebrate my friendship with Kel. Thus, the Birth of K & M Creations. The "K" is for Kelly. The designs reflect my connection of heaven and earth with Kelly and God. They include the love and beauty of our Creator.
Before and After Kel's passing I was blessed with the gift of connection to Kel and all the wonderful signs a passed loved one shares to keep the channel of healing open. I know our unique friendship and interest in angels helped me see beyond the pain and open up to the wonderful gifts and abilities God gives us in times of crisis. Kelly and I were connected to a very gifted lady who was able to speak to your guardian angel. Her name is Karen Vaske. Kelly and I enjoyed the information Karen shared. I reached out to Karen after Kelly's passing. Karen encouraged me to keep my mind and eyes open for signs of Kelly's presence.
At first, my signs were very subtle. A song that plays at the most perfect time. A book opening to a perfect message. A friend sharing a special feeling. A sister-in-law passing on her own experience of loss. If you allow yourself to see these subtle gifts, they get bigger. I was blow drying my hair sometime the week after her passing and I was crying, when the warm tingling sensation I felt on the way to the hospital told me it was Kel hugging me. I did not want to move so it wouldn't stop. I stayed with her presence for a long time and then completed the process of daily life. A simple drive over to a lost loved one's house unfolds an encounter with a deer that appeared to be running into my truck and immediately shifted into a ninety degree turn, ran with my truck, and crossed my path while I hit the brakes. The deer had a broken antler. "Thank you, Kel." Amazing, how different a person's house looks when they leave this earth. Everything has meaning. Kel had evolved. She passed me up on our spiritual journey. I am so proud of her.
The next sign involved Kel's rings. She did not have her rings on at the hospital. We searched her house for the rings and discovered she had left them in her jewelry box. She loved her rings! Did she know unconsciously that she was leaving and protected them? The ladies Kelly worked with said Kelly was not her normal self. Did she know unconsciously she was going to leave all the people she loved so dearly and freely? " I say yes. Too many signs!" When we found the rings, I noticed a book standing up on her dresser. I recognized it because she had given me a copy of this book for my birthday. She was always inspiring me. I had not yet read it. I was eager to get home and locate a piece of my Kel. I find the book, "The Invitation". There was a note inside in her handwriting. I touch it, I read it, "Enjoy The Journey, Love Kelly". I start searching in drawers that have not been open in a long time for any message Kel may have placed for me. I need the messages to grow, to feel, to heal. Another book, "Be All That You Are". "I get it. I feel you again. You are so powerful now! I am so proud of you, Kel!"
Amazing how God creates healing time for you. If it is just allowing a sleeping baby to extend his nap. I would stand on my back porch and ask for a sign and several butterflies would flutter around me. Huge unbelievably beautiful butterflies would show up everywhere. This continued for at least a year. It was a huge gift. Butterflies signify change in life. A rose John gave me prior to Kelly's passing lived for over two weeks and it dried up slowly from the outside to the center like a circular pattern. The leaves never fell and the rose is still wide open. FAITH.
In the ten days after Kelly's passing, I realized that I did not want to forget this experience, so I created a book that shares in detail the unfolding of a grave loss. Kel's life was as impactive as her passing. Even a news station picked up on it. It flashed on the bottom of the screen, "Woman falls down stairs and dies". That was one of the crazier moments. However, they redeemed themselves by allowing Kels' brother to speak to them about what a great person she was.
I know Kel figured "IT" out. I am sure "IT" is ecstasy, peace, and harmony. "I love and honor you, Kel. I am sure that is what you wanted to talk about." The day of the celebration of her life there was a rippling effect of "IT". The stories people told and the love that was shared was huge. Kel was a pool of love, rippling peace to all. I celebrated Kel with her favorite polish and jewelry we bought together. I quoted special words from the two books Kel had given me:
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
Be all that you are.
The SUN will find you…
The WIND will call you as you gently bend and become open to the world that surrounds you.
The SOIL will ground you.
The WATER will nourish you, you have been planted here.
The WORLD is yours to enjoy… to expand… to go wherever you want.
LIFE is the gift you have been given.
LOVE is the blessing you can feel.
It is all around…
GIVE yourself a chance.
We are all just HEARTS …ALONE AND TOGETHER… BEATING.. to the music inside, fulfilling…our ambitions, finding…our places in the wonder of the universe.
Take your own hand on your own journey…
I shared with loved ones how aware she was of what was important. I poetically shared my connection to her:
Is infectious
Kelly's LOVE is and will always BE… It is constant. Kelly is my best friend for life. She was there for me from day one of meeting her. She took me in her heart and cherished my person. She honored my pain and supported my fears. She gave of herself unconditionally. She was my sister, my confidante, my friend. She took my pain and made it okay. She gave me a piece of her heart. She understood. She accepted me for me. I honor my love of her and she will always, always be in MY HEART. "Kelly, I love you! Dave, I love you! Thank you God for Sharing Kelly with me."
As I mentioned before, I wrote a detailed book about my loss and signs. This book emerged from me for two weeks after her passing and I was panicking because I did not want to forget anything. Miraculously, the evening of September 10, 2001, I was able to finish. The kids cooperated by going to bed early and I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. to complete the book. I was vibrating with excitement and peace, so I called my Mom to share. We spoke for awhile, then we said our goodbyes. At that very moment, I know I was vibrating with Gods gifts. I felt very connected to Him. Moments later, as I was shutting the house down, I felt a lot of fear, scary fear. I did not realize at that moment, but pure evil was moving towards New York City and Washington. The next morning, I was at work when the tragedies of September 11, 2001, were inflicted upon the United States. I personally was just grasping what happened to Kel while realizing thousands of lives were taken in one instant. The way I coped with this significant tragedy was that it was not thousands of deaths, but one death and one life leaving this earth affecting thousands of lives forever.
Throughout this experience, the signs continued to grow. These signs increased my faith in a higher power. I had a significant sign on a day that was the beginning of a magnificent sign. The significant sign was that I was on my back porch surrounded by several butterflies and I told Kel that she needed to contact Karen Vaske and have her call me. Of course, at the time, I was not exactly sure this would come true. Two days later and three weeks and a day from Kellys' passing, I asked my girlfriends to accompany me to Mt. Adams Street Affair, a local art show that Kelly enjoyed experiencing. When we arrived, I stepped into a booth of angel paintings that mesmerized my heart. I could not leave this booth. The booth contained paintings that were oil on canvas, oil on paper, and prints of the original paintings displayed. I immediately picked up five oil on paper paintings. I then moved to a box of prints and was drawn to two prints. The first was a very strong and vibrant angel that touched me deeply. I asked the artist, Shannon Guest, if she still had the original painting available. She shared that she was commissioned by Karen Vaske, "The Angel Lady", to paint her guardian angel. I was excited. I knew this was the sign I had asked for from Kel. I continued to flip through the prints and came across another print that had familiar colors anfid was very beautiful. I was deeply drawn to this print and I inquired about the original. Shannon said the painting was called "ANGEL MATERIALIZING" and she painted it about three weeks ago. It was at home drying. I took a step back, and asked if she was sure it was three weeks ago. She said, "yes". I asked if I could buy the painting sight unseen. She was surprised. "This is my gift from Kel!" I knew this was her. It looked like Kel and reflected all the colors we had in common in our homes. The resemblance is a mastery of Kel's spirit and Shannon's gift as an artist. I purchased three of the five oil on paper, two oil on canvas, and "ANGEL MATERIALIZING". I shared with Shannon my request of a sign from Kel. Shannon was amazed by this "coincidence". I agreed to contact Shannon to pick up "ANGEL MATERIALIZING".
Of course, I went home excited about my purchases and tried to be low key with my husband considering my investment in my "signs". I showed John the paintings and he quickly pointed out that one of the paintings looked like a woman falling. I thought this was odd and agreed with his perception. It was one of the three oil on paper. The other two oil on paper were an angel smelling the flowers and a flaming red headed angel. (I was planning to give the red headed angel to my other sister-in-law, Kathy, who was assisting me through my grief with love, information and guidance. Ironically, Kathy shared with me that her mother was the only other person to give her a red headed angel.) Kathy has red hair. Kathy's mom had passed. Referring back to the fallen woman, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the painting. The woman in the painting is reaching out to an angel above her with one arm, while falling back or laying in a bed of flowers. I found this to be interesting and wanted to share with Shannon the specifics of Kelly's passing.
I called Shannon and she told me that "Angel Materializing" was painted in the a.m. of September 2, 2001, the day after Kelly passed. I also shared my discovery about the woman falling and she shared with me about the unfolding of the oils on paper paintings. The oils on paper were actually six paintings that were leading up to Kel's passing that week. She painted two fairies and three angels. One angel was bought by a woman that lives near us. I have always wondered if she had a connection to Kel. I feel this angel was Kel's guardian angel, Shannon titled this painting, "The Pale Angel". I have never researched this. The last angel painting on paper was painted the morning Kel fell, and that was the painting with the woman falling and reaching out to an angel. To add to this magnificent sign, Kelly and I shared a conversation a few weeks before her passing. Kelly was concerned about her future career and choices she was considering. She said she needed something to fall back on. I told her that was crazy. She and I talked about wanting to be taken care of and I encouraged her just to play. Kel liked making cards so I suggested she cut and paste. Once again, she repeated, " I need something to fall back on." My initial thought, was that Kelly wanted financial security. But as I soon found out, "fall back on" had a completely different meaning.
Shannon and I were blown away by these unbelievable connections of gifts from one very powerful and spiritual person. This story continues with Shannon and I building a relationship of true creative friendship and respect. In the days following our meeting, we shared interest in having my guardian angel painted and she shared her interest of wanting to paint guardian angels. The connection was immeasurable. We continued our bond through my interest in all her beautiful artwork. I have surrounded myself with her paintings and we discovered and confirmed that she was painting guardian angels. It has been a very playful and giving friendship. She and I have continued our journey together and we are celebrating different unique alternative ways to connect to God. I have been truly blessed. I celebrate Shannon's unique gift. We continue to be amazed by our road of enlightenment. Life is a journey and it is up to us to find the wonderful hidden messages.
Kel's passing has opened my eyes to all of God's wonderful gifts available. This experience has given me a simple and very strong faith in God. I encourage everybody to seek out there own unique relationship and connection with God. May God fill your heart with love and may you find the peace and enlightenment you are seeking. Many blessings to all.

At the middle school level, alternative school students take courses with the at-large population of the host middle school along with classes in their specialized alternative program. Thus enrollment and state test results are counted with those of the host middle school. For more information, contact the school office.

Eyes: To get the smoky eye look, take deep blue, brown, black or grey and sweep on the lid at the lash line. Use a brush to slowly blend it out and up to the crease. It should be a gradual process, fading as you get closer to the crease. Add a lighter highlighting color underneath your brow.
Cheeks: When creating the smoky eye look, be careful not to over dramatize other features; go light on the blush and use just enough to define the cheeks.
Lips: A neutral lip liner and gloss is a great way to tie the look together.

The session also focused on key aspects of Smart Nashik like urban mobility, improving public utilities, waste management and e-governance. Representatives from various government departments were also present for the session.
During the address Municipal Commissioner Praveen Gedam informed about various steps taken by the corporation to transform Nashik into a smart city. He gave the example of smart cities in the world like New York, Boston etc.
"Industry has a major role in the smart cities project. We request CII members and industries for their whole-hearted support," said Gedam.
S Jaganathan, commissioner of police during his address mentioned that smart city project is an ongoing activity and it is a 5-year-project.
"Every citizen should get involved in keeping city neat, clean and safe. As government officials and police officer we need to make processes easy. The recent kumbh mela rewarded Nashik as a clean and safe city. It was possible because of great support from citizens, industry and government machinery," said Jaganathan.
Manvendra Deswal, senior consultant, infrastructure, CII said that CII had established a national mission for smart cities to contribute to this subject of national importance through policy advocacy and thought leadership to government and other stakeholders.
"Working towards smart cities, CII has already signed MoUs with three country consortiums – German (led by Siemens), Japan (led by Hitachi) and USA (led by Cisco). Consultations are already on to enter in to such arrangement with Singapore and Spain as well. Under the Mission, CII has already signed MoU with government of Andhra Pradesh and are already engaged with administrators of Chandigarh, Indore, Panjim and Nellore on smart city initiatives," said Deswal.
Sudhir Mutalik, chairman of CII North Maharashtra Zonal Council and managing director, Positive Metering Pumps India Pvt Ltd said, "Smart cities is a concept of emerging conceptual view of a city that promotes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to engage with citizens to develop social and intellectual capital and to improve the use of hard infrastructure to support smart growth. The Smart city vision also compliments other large initiatives viz. digital India, industrial corridors and Make in India. The theme driving these initiatives would be to create productive assets while creating millions of jobs for the youth."

How could any self-respecting LGBT person possibly vote for Rick Scott?
In addition to opposing marriage equality, Scott opposed adoption by gay couples (a law which the courts have stuck down). In February, Scott refused to say whether he supported or opposed the pending license-to-discriminate bill in Arizona.
Scott also issued a non-discrimination executive order that excluded sexual orientation and gender identity. Scott is the man who infamously took a shot at GOP primary opponent Bill McCollum for his ties to supposedly "'pro-homosexual rights" presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.
Just how fucking homophobic does a GOP candidate have to be to get snubbed by the Log Cabin Republicans?

If you had an affair, you must regain your partner's trust if you wish to continue the relationship. The process takes time and includes good and bad days, writes marriage therapist Sheri Meyers, author of "Chatting or Cheating: How to Detect Infidelity, Rebuild Love and Affair-Proof Your Relationship." You will need to accept that regaining her trust will require hard work from you and a willingness to forgive from her.
End the Affair
Your first step must be to end the affair and eliminate all contact with your affair partner, insists syndicated advice columnist Amy Dickinson. Don't write, call, see, text or talk to her if you want your partner to believe that you want to remain in your relationship. Be transparent with your phone, email and chat logs and with how you spend your time. Your partner might insist on checking your accounts, cell phone bill, credit card receipts and other documentation to verify that you have ended the affair. Clinical psychologist Dr. Janis A. Spring, author of "After the Affair: Healing the Pain and Rebuilding Trust When a Partner Has Been Unfaithful," suggests accepting those restrictions as you work to regain her trust because they are "low-cost" behaviors that are less emotionally-charged, but still effective in helping to restore broken trust.
Eliminating Secrecy
Eliminate the secrecy in your relationship. Willingly and truthfully answer your partner's questions. Don't expect that explaining it was only sex will make it OK for her -- she will see it as a relationship connection with emotional ties. Listen to her explain her pain and anger, suggests Meyers, repeating her pain in your own words so she knows that you get it. Spring recommends putting the information in writing with a written apology that clearly cites specific examples of how you hurt her and what you will do to prevent another affair. Detail how you will demonstrate your sorrow and how much you love and want to remain with your partner. You need to be willing to be completely open and honest as you work to rebuild your relationship.
Trustworthy Actions
The old axiom, "actions speak louder than words" is true, especially in recovering trust. Demonstrate dependability by being where you say you will be when you say you will be there. Don't make promises you can't or won't keep. Be totally honest -- avoiding even white lies. Be consistent in your actions and responsive to your partner's needs. Listen to her pain and respond empathetically. Admit your responsibility without blaming her for the affair -- you made the decision to cheat regardless of what she did or didn't do to meet your needs. Mutually construct a list of acceptable behaviors for your relationship and personal behavior and abide by them.
Rebuild Intimacy
Your partner is not likely to enthusiastically jump in bed with you if she doesn't trust you. The specter of your affair partner will be sharing your bed for a while, writes Spring. Be willing to discuss your partner's fears and desires. Determine her needs and meet them consistently. Meyers recommends including daily doses of affection, attention and expressions of appreciation for your partner. Remember that you must rebuild her trust and your relationship one day at a time.

The Problem
2 hours ago
|Your take?
It was the dice mechanic, and the included dice, that sold me. Particularly, it was the repurposing of the phrase "Rule Zero". I've always hated the way published games touted Rule Zero like it was some amazing thing. I'm not sure why. I guess I'm just cranky.ReplyDelete
@ Nigel:
I'm a pretty cranky bastard myself.
; )
I have also hated the whole "rule zero" (in other RPGs), and was at least half the impetus for developing RZ. The dice came about 'cause I was tired of reminding my play-testers to throw out the 1s.
A question about the dice: will you be selling the custom dice separately as well? It might be nice to get a few more.ReplyDelete

On 9 July 2015, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) have signed an agreement for a joint research institute in Ethiopia. The "Emerging City Lab Addis Ababa" will, as a joint research institute, continue the idea of experimental building that has been implemented over the past six years as part of a research and training cooperation in the Ethiopian capital.
Prof. Dirk Donath, who has over the last years done the practical preparatory work, will in the next three years coordinate the establishment of the "Emerging City Lab Addis Ababa". He says: "Weimar and Addis Ababa have been cooperating for many years in the fields of architecture, structural design and urban planning. The results of the experimental work were mainly related to the optimization of building types and constructions. In future, the research laboratory will integrate urban, social, constructional, technical and infrastructural aspects. The core is made up of joint research with an integrated training in the master and doctoral studies. Experimental in this context means, that we build what we research".

Recently, I have been approached by three different friends who are mothers of infants/toddlers who are teething. They want to know if there is a safe, effective natural remedy they can give their little one to ease the pain and help their little one sleep at night. Although it's been a couple of years since my two were teething, I can distinctly remember the nights and days of no sleep, crabby babies, and praying that the tooth would just come in already. Sadly, I have to admit that during that time I hadn't been exposed yet to naturopathy so we mostly suffered through it or gave a dose of Motrin as recommended by my pediatrician at the time. When you know better though, you do better and I've come to appreciate that there are other alternatives that are much safer. I've found that homeopathy has many herbal remedies that will help whatever ails you and in teething children homeopathy can usually help to ease the pain.
There are several different teething remedies and the important thing is to find the one that is just right for your child. Even if you have two children, the remedy you used on your first may not be the one that works for your second. Each child is different and needs different remedies. Here are a few that are recommended for teething and their definitions.
- Chamomilla: This baby is cross, whiny, obstinate, and difficult to satisfy. They cry when denied something that they want and throw themselves to the floor if it is proffered. When touched or even looked at, the child manifests its resentment by shrieks, whining, or angry cries. The child is quiet only when carried about.
- Belladonna: This baby will be irritable, delirious, and may strike out or bite. They are usually flushed, restless, and feverish.
- Calcarea carbonica for the baby who has delayed teething, and delayed closure of fontanelles. This baby may actually have difficulty assimilating calcium and calcarea carbonica will help with that, thus facilitating teeth coming in. This baby is often fair, plump, with a sweaty head.
- Calcarea phosphorica has similar symptoms with delayed teething, delayed closure of fontanels, but this baby is usually thin, with dark hair and eyes.
- Silica: this baby has fine-textured skin, fine sandy hair, sweats in the head and neck as well as feet and hands, and has an intolerance to milk. This baby is extremely bright but can be difficult.
I know the definitions above are fairly vague and you may find it difficult to see which one might benefit your teething baby. There are combination remedies that combine a few remedies to make it easier on sleepless parents. I like to order homeopathics from a company called 1-800-Homeopathy. They sell a product called Teething Tabs that contain calcarea phosphorica, Ferrum Phosphoricum, Belladonna, and Chamomilla all in one tab. They also carry Hyland's Teething Gel which contains no benzocaine, sugar, artificial flavoring, dyes, or coloring agents. It has Calcarea Phos, Chamomilla, Coffea Cruda, and Belladonna in it for homeopathics and can be applied right to the teething baby's sore gums.
Another option to relieve the pain of teething is to head to your health food store and pick up a bottle of clove oil. Clove oil is a natural anesthetic and a drop can be massaged into the baby's gums. A combination of homeopathics and clove oil may work really well together to help relieve teething pain and let everyone get some rest!
Best of luck and a little sleep to all of you wonderful mothers of teething babies. I can hear Darius Rucker in my head right now "It won't be like this for long". Trust me, that's a good thing and a bad thing! :)

I just read that the next Beatles' collection and remixes
Cd will be called "Love"... just like my latest Cd which I
published in 2004.
This is the latest of many coincidences happened between me
and them so I just wish to spend a couple of words about it.
It's like a circle that closes in.
I was born on the same day the first single from the Beatles
"Love me do" was released on the market. It was back on the
beginning of the sixties. I grew up with their music and
inspiration. I still can recall the feelings i got when i
was just few years old and i heard "Eleanor rigby", I didn't
understand a single word of what Paul sang, i was attending
the elementary school, but i perfectly understood the
feeling of loneliness inside that song. I also can recall
the big shock I had when the italian television broadcasted
the cartoon "Yellow submarine". It was amazing to see the Glove
fly and Blue Meanies bleaching things. When the Beatles took
the "G" out of the destroyer glove and transformed it in Love
it just became a part of my imagination as a kid.
There has always been some kind of connection between me and
the Fab 4, i'm a libra just like John, I got married with an
asian girl like him, I even have been menaced by some sort
of idiot fan just like him,i also was afraid to be shoot. My
daughter is named after Beatles first disco graphic company.
The funny thing of it all is that i didn't do anything
It gives me a sort of tender feeling to think about Paul and
Ringo as they are now, they represent a big slice of my
life, i can only thank them all from the very deep of my
heart for having taught me that love is all we need.
What will remain of them ?
This crazy world seems to have forgotten Love, although we
need it now more than ever, so I hope that their new Cd will
bring us a memory of what could have been if those years had
fulfilled their promises of love and peace instead of being
devoured by history and Blue Meanies.
Still here after all these years.

Nearly all bloggers would be familiar with uploading photo via Blogger photo upload icon . However, you can only display the photo in 3 limited sizes - small, medium and large. (Update: this is referring to uploading photo in the old post editor, not the new updated post editor, but what follows still remain true). Clicking on such images generally result in a larger image displayed.
You cannot directly use such uploaded images, say, to put in the sidebar, for your Blogger profile photo or to use the image as a link to another webpage or to display images side by side. For such purposes, the photo need to be uploaded to a webhost which allows inline linking or hotlinking (also called leeching, piggy-backing, direct linking, offsite image grabs and bandwidth theft).
One of such webhost is the free Photobucket image host. This post will be about using Blogger itself as a host for the images for inline linking.
I prefer to use Blogger for image hosting as I prefer my blog stuff to be stored all in the same host. If you plan to do the same, may I suggest you create a new blog for this purpose, as I have at My Photo Store and upload your photos for profile photo, backround image, etc., there.
When you upload a photo to Blogger using their photo uploading icon and you are in the EDIT HTML mode, you will see in place of the photo the following HTML code:
Such uploaded photos can be used for inline linking for profile photo, etc.You will see 2 URLs in the code. You can use the second one for inline linking (in red). However, it is better to do the following:
Publish, click on the photo which will take you to a webpage where only the photo will be displayed. Press ctrl+U to open page source and get your photo URL there. I will upload a photo below and use that as an example. You may click on the photo and verify for yourself what I am going to write:
Click on the above photo, you will be taken to a webpage where only the photo of my grandson is displayed. Press ctrl+U and the source code is revealed
<title>lewis+apple+5.JPG (image)</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (top.location != self.location) top.location = self.location;
// -->
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jizoPL28qCY/SpoRi-9CWeI/AAAAAAAADDo/NbK66dkfE2U/s1600/lewis%2Bapple%2B5.JPG" alt="[lewis+apple+5.JPG]" border=0>
and within the code is the photo URL (in red above) which you can use for inline linking.

Crafted Appliqué is a new method invented by Lara of BuzzinBumble. I have decided to try it with my tea cup pattern (the same that is on my Tea in the Rose Garden mug rugs). The cup handle is very thin and I wanted to verify how easy it would be to sew it. On my mug rugs, I sew the appliqués with the blanket stitch to keep them into place and to make sure that the fabric would not fray.
With Lara's method, I was able to sew the appliqués with only one straight stitch, along the edge. One single line of stitching for the handle. I must say that the method passed the test with a high score. It does not mean that I will now avoid the blanket stitch, because it always gives a special look to the appliqué. But, if you are in a hurry or want to work fast, Crafted Appliqué is perfect.
I could not resist adding some lace below the cup. It goes so well with the fabric covered by little flowers.
The binding was made with bias cut in the same flowery fabric and stitched by hand. Being a very small quilt (5 3/4″ x 6″), I did not give myself much trouble with the quilting…
I also made a card. I find that a card and a small quilt that can act as a mug rug or a coaster are a great combination and make excellent gifts.
Lara has created a page where people can link up the beautiful projects they have made with this method. This is also the place to go if you wish to buy Crafted Appliqué: New Possibilities. Thank you for visiting!

Torchbearers of divine love are spiritedly operating among us, they are in loving, joyous, dedicated service, and ministry near and far, doing phenomenal work on all levels of society—publicly, privately, and many quietly—they are the modern day apostles, disciples, and devotees of the inextinguishable light of heaven, ardently spreading true love throughout the world, braving the islands of lovelessness in our midst with the healing power of love divine; the whole planet is tremendously blessed with these love inspired idealist, and consecrated laborers of the Spirit, practical darers who serve the love fearers with deeds of loving grace; pure love illumines their heart, and radiates from their face.
These courageous love-bearers are compassionate carers, champions of living truth, promoters, and co-creators of divine beauty, wholehearted exponents of spiritual goodness; empathy heeders, altruistic feelers, soul feeders, and dynamic leaders committed to making the Spirit of Love the relational atmosphere of all humanity, pioneers of the ethics of brotherly love, teaching the far-reaching gospel of the Father-Motherhood of God, and the resultant sister-brotherhood of all people, while making it known that the Universal-Eternal-Infinite Creator's love is the greatest actuality in all the world.
Agape love is calling for more creative torchbearers, enlightened emissaries, wise advocates, inspired messengers, proactive ministers, intelligent crusaders, and progressive evangelist, encouraging all souls to simply go about learning to truly love other people, deliberately, and on purpose, to uphold the spirit flame of eternal love before the hearts of all beings unconditionally, that all may abide, and share, ultimately, in the affectionate warmth of the Creator's love. May we, with fullness of heart, passionately strive to replicate God's will-of-love, each person in their own distinctive way becoming torchbearers of divine love—bound to eventually pervade the emotional heart stream of humankind, even now, and forevermore.

So bad girl cute. Why are you blogging about this though? That's the real question! *wicked grin*ReplyDelete
Hey CC,ReplyDelete
The actual reason why I blogged about this is because Tommy Lee said he wanted to see more of Storm Large.
She replied that is only takes six letters to see more of her, G_O_O_G_L_E.
So her comment worked, I googled her, and decided to share what I found.

So here I am googling "Storm Large" looking for mp3's (not nudey pics as most others are) and the 5th result is.... Steve Garfield - just made me laugh. I didn't know you watched this show. Hope you're doing well - and Carol, and your mom. Maybe once the summer's over I'll get back to vlogging.ReplyDelete
But right now I'm too busy loving me some sweet mindless summer reality tv (and loving me some Gilby Clark) :)
