Match Report
Ashford returned to winning ways at the weekend, putting a disappointing February behind them with a comprehensive victory which was full of intensity, and considering the conditions they played some good rugby.
The game kicked off at pace, with Ashford bombarding the Old G's defensive line and moving the ball wide at every opportunity. They should have been at least 2 scores up inside 10 minutes but a lack of composure in the red zone meant the chances were squandered and the away side were let off the hook. Ashford didn't have it all their own way in the early exchanges as Old G's proved to be doughty opponents who stuck to their task throughout without ever really looking like they were capable of opening up the Ashford defense. On the topic of defense this was a return to the suffocating defensive line of earlier in the season, the inclusion of the returning Andy Ticehurst certainly added an organizing voice and physicality to the line, and with the likes of Dan Brown surprisingly getting himself involved in his fair share of work the boys were looking back to their aggressive best.
Tries started to come as Ashford picked up the pace with first Brown scoring, followed by Captain Fussell, Tanner had a rare off day with the boot and was unable to contribute the extras. Back from this African adventures, next up was Farai Myezwa who once he got hands on ball sped into space, teased his opposite winger before fending him off to race away and score under the posts, Tanner converted. Old G's weren't rolling over just yet as they scored a well worked try, converted it and at half time it was 17 – 7 and all to play for.
Ashford got better and better as the 2nd half progressed, they were still guilty of making some poor choices in attack when if they'd stuck to the plan they almost certainly would've scored. Their variety in attack was pleasing and for the remaining games of this season this ability to mix up how they attack their opposition will be needed.
The outstanding Dan Shez scored a well-earned try, as always he seemed to read the play better than most and popped up in the right place to power over the line. Ticehurst was rewarded for his endeavours with a try, and then Peter Walsh came off the bench to touch down twice in 10 minutes and secure what was a much needed victory.
As mentioned this was a positive performance after a couple of tough losses, the Ashford pack looked like they were back in the groove, and the options now available in the backline mean that they are more than happy playing in a direct fashion or equally content moving the ball wide.
Onwards to this weekend where Ashford host Gillingham Anchorians in their rescheduled fixture from early March.

Alright….there is a guy that I works in my building that I am interested in. We haven't really had the opportunity to interact face to face with each other. However, I know who he is and I know he knows who I am. Our matchmaking coworkers have been at work and all I've heard about the last month is that I need to meet him. They have even took liberties to team up with the his immediate coworkers and they think its a good idea as well.
I've heard my number has been given and was told that this guy feels like it is unnatural to call me before we have actually met. Problem is— we are both on the shy side I think. We've seen each other at work but always at times where it is not opportune to officially introduce ourselves or chat.
The single girl stalker in me noticed he does have a facebook. Would it be weird to message him or request to be friends? Part of me says it is kinda stalkerish. However, the other part says– why not? I don't have anything to loose. Thoughts?
rimiahujaParticipantJanuary 1, 2014 at 5:44 am #45490
I think you should talk frankly and straight.
agk8450ParticipantJanuary 2, 2014 at 6:52 pm #45669
Be professional about it. You are not in highschool anymore so go and talk to him in person. Just ask him how his day was or if you see if getting coffee or eating lunch, ask him what he is eating. Small questions can lead to big conversations and at the end ask for a number to talk later.
brayden_95ParticipantJanuary 3, 2014 at 10:07 am #45680
Really, you cant go wrong by any way that you contact him. You just have to do it and be calm and confident.
blankcanaryParticipantJanuary 5, 2014 at 1:13 am #45832
It would be better to talk to him in person. Talking behind a screen can ease some tension and stress, but it may give him the wrong impression.
Peanutbear3ParticipantJanuary 5, 2014 at 9:23 pm #45836
I think it would be weird to add him if you haven't even talked. Can your mutual friends not arrange drinks after work or something when the 2 of you can chat properly?
ssa123ParticipantJanuary 12, 2014 at 2:29 am #45911
Talk in person first – even just a hey, how are you every now and then. Once you've exchanged a few friendly small talk conversations, then its ok to move things online.
bizie.beParticipantJanuary 19, 2014 at 12:20 am #46145
Ok…an update.
I was able to meet him last week. We were both sitting at the same table for a meeting, so I started some small talk and introduced myself. We talked for a bit and then had to stop for the meeting. I unfortunately didn't see him the rest of the day.
I then thought "why not?" and added him on facebook later that night. He accepted a few days later.
It does not appear he is a big facebooker. So I guess my question is what next? I feel like I initiated talking/introduction in person. I also think the friend request was a bit of a "green light" that I am interested in getting to know him. Do I make an attempt to message him on there? Ask him out? Or is the ball in his court and if he is interested he will act on it?April 7, 2014 at 6:43 pm #46147
Can you make a group date with a few co-workers (including him) so that way it takes the social pressure off of being a "date"?April 7, 2014 at 6:43 pm #46206
Yes! Facebook is a totally cool way to start interactions. Obviously you will want to move it offline when possible, but to start I would say go right aheadApril 7, 2014 at 6:44 pm #46207
Yes! Facebook is a totally cool way to start interactions. Obviously, you will eventually want to turn it into a date, but to start out I would say go for it!

Cycle #7
Week 2 Day 4
5/3/1 Deadlift: 5×120, 5×135, 3×155 + 5×210, 3×240, 9×270
Chin-ups: 6/4/4/3/4
Cycle #7
Week 2 Day 4
5/3/1 Deadlift: 5×120, 5×135, 3×155 + 5×210, 3×240, 9×270
Chin-ups: 6/4/4/3/4
Cycle #7
Week 1 Day 4
5/3/1 Deadlift: 5×115, 5×135, 3×155 + 5×195, 5×225, 12×255 Rep PR
Unfortunately lost my nice little notepad to jot my workout weights on and wifi wasn't working in the gym so I couldn't pull up my numbers from the spreadsheet stored on my Google drive. Thinking now, I think I would have wanted to get to 15 reps on the 255. I definitely think I could have, but my form would most likely have been pretty terrible at that point. Nonetheless, I still managed to get a rep PR. The last time I lifted 255 was during the 2nd week of the 3rd cycle. And numbers shows that I only pulled for 4 reps! Pretty drastic improvement. This lift is definitely my favorite right now because of pulling for such high volume and the fact that I know I won't be stalling on it any time soon.
Aside from now incorporating high volume dips to get my shoulder strength and tricep strength up. I'm also going to be incorporating more mid-section abdominal strengthening. I found another nice article on overhead presses and specifically how to train the common weakpoints. Also, the article mentioned performing bar hangs to help decompress the lumbar spine and increase my low back flexibility. Sitting around for 8+ hours in the office, I think it'll be beneficial incorporating these into my warm-ups and cooldowns.
Cycle #7
Week 1 Day 2
Squat: 5×115, 3×135, 1×165 + 5×180, 5×205, 6×230
On cycle 2 squats. Again, my legs were beaten up pretty good from missing out on the squat days last cycle.
BBB Squat: 2x10x135
Shoulders were coming up before knees.
Cycle #6
Week 3 Day 4
Warm-up: foam roll, leg swings, box jumps
Box jumps are pretty easy now. Still am a bit hesitant that I'll totally wipe out on the first jump. Worked up a decent sweat doing this warm-up.
Deadlift: 5×120, 5×150, 3×180 + 5×225, 3×250, 10×280 Rep PR
Got a rep PR, but not sure I did it without some not so great form. The first rep, right off the bat, felt like a straight legged deadlift. Not sure if I was rounding much. Used alternating grip on the last set and the 3 rep set; left hand pronated, right hand supinated. The bar I was using didn't have a very good grip on the knurling section.
BB Assistance:
6/4/3/2 – Chin-ups: Felt fresh when doing these. Haven't done them in a while.
10×30 + 10×35 + 10×35 + 10×40 – DB Rows: Felt easier than when I did them last.
10×45 + 10×55 + 10×65 + 10×75 – Good Mornings: Not bad. Had a significantly wider grip. Made sure the bar didn't roll into my neck. Had pretty much a slightly low bar placement to keep locked against my anterior delts.
5/5/5 x Ab Wheel: Back buckled very easily when getting fatigued and was giving me some lower back pain so I eased back off them. Think I may need to increase core strength before doing these.
10min. x Treadmill: Haven't ran in a while. Felt very sluggish. My cardio stamina diminishes very quickly if I don't keep at it.
Cycle #6
Week 2 Day 4
Warm-up: foam roll, leg swings, box jumps
Foam rolling was torture today. Insanely painful from the really sore legs from Tuesday squats. Had to do them to get rid of the soreness and get my legs back into shape quicker. Box jumps were pretty easy; a lot more confident with them compared to Tuesday where I had a minor slip up.
Deadlift: 5×120, 3×150, 1×80 + 3×210, 3×235, 10×265
No belt. Managed to crank out 10 reps on the last set. This matched my previous effort at 265. Probably could have done more with a belt.
BB Assistance:
6/3/2 – Chin-ups: Pretty difficult as my grip was shot from the deadlifts.
3x15x40 – DB Rows: Difficult after the chin-ups and deads.
Cycle #6
Week 2 Day 2
Warm-up: foam roll, leg swings, box jumps
I haven't done the agile 8 in a while- I've only been foam rolling consistently. I used the highest box there and it was pretty easy. Did 3 sets of 5 reps. My phone jumped out of my pocket twice.
Squat: 5×115, 3×135, 1×165 + 3×190, 3×215, 4×240
Decided to jump back to cycle 1 weights to get myself together. Got good depth on all the reps. Legs were feeling very jello-like by the end of the 215 set; they were tight and had that pumped feeling. I had difficulties getting up from a chair that night.
BBB Squat: 5x10x135
Pretty easy first 2 sets. Next 3 sets progressively became more taxing. I was using my back to get the bar up in the latter reps- not in a bad good morning way, but my shoulder would go up before my hips would go up. Partial good morning into a semi push press to exaggerate, but definitely nothing like that.
BB Accessories:
35/25/19/18 – Situps: Slowly developing some muscle endurance in the abs.
Cycle #6
Week 1 Day 4
Warm-up: leg swings, box jumps
Squat: 5×115, 3×135, 1×165 + 5×185, 5×210, 3×240
I cranked back my squats since I haven't been consistent with them. The top set was a real grinder, couldn't believe it, but it was very difficult to get 3 reps off for sure. I'm not sure where I want to go with squats as I've been very erratic with them. I think I might switch the days up so that I do squats earlier in the week to avoid missing them. Probably switching up deadlift day with squat day.
BB Assistance:
2x15x180 Leg Press: Haven't done leg presses for like over 2 years now. These weren't difficult in the manner of maximal effort, but rather endurance.
3×25 Sit-ups: Not bad, pretty easy. Probably going to add some lying leg raises or crunches to work the lower abs.
6min. Heavy Bag: Just hitting the bags and working punching technique. Gym was closing early so I didn't do the 30-30-30 drill. Left shoulder hurts a bit mainly in the anterior delt area.

Opioids are the most commonly misused type of prescription medication in the U.S. Unsafe prescribing and dispensing practices, such as combining opioids and benzodiazepines, greatly increase the risk of opioid use disorder and fatal overdose.
Prescription Monitoring
Prescription monitoring programs are state-run electronic databases that collect and distribute data about the prescription and dispensation of controlled substances. State prescription monitoring programs have been shown to lead to reductions in doctor "shopping" behavior, opioid prescribing, and overdose death rates.
Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program (ILPMP)
ILPMP collects information on controlled substance prescriptions (Schedules II, III, IV and V). These data are required to be reported on a daily basis by all retail pharmacies dispensing prescriptions in Illinois. Under Public Act 100-0564 (2017), all Illinois prescribers (with certain exceptions) must document an attempt to check the ILPMP when providing an initial prescription for Schedule II narcotics (including opioids).
ILPMP data assist health care providers assess prescribing practices, inform efforts to reduce high-risk opioid prescribing, and help prevent misuse of controlled substances and medical error.
Prescriber Education
IDPH, the Office of the Attorney General, and the University of Chicago developed a 15 minute training video for prescribers. The video can be incorporated into your training on proper opioid prescribing. It provides guidance for new prescribers to:
- Screen for opioid misuse and opioid use disorder;
- Monitor patients on opioids; and
- Appropriately incorporate the IL Prescription Drug Monitoring Program into clinical practice
Safe Drug Disposal
Most people who misuse prescription opioids obtain them from a friend or a family member, often from stores of unused or expired medication left in the home. All unused prescription medications, particularly unused prescription opioids and other controlled substances, should be disposed of properly to avoid misuse and medication confusion.
Flushing or throwing away unused prescription medications in the trash are not recommended, safe, or secure disposal methods. The best way to dispose of unused medications is through drug take-back programs and locations. Additionally, certain pharmacies may offer opioid disposal solutions that can be mixed with water to make medications unusable. See the Resources for Safe Drug Disposal (on the right sidebar) for take-back locations.

Popcorn Dream Interpretation
Popcorn in dreams represent positive growths or ideas. If the dream focuses on the popcorn actually popping, it signifies timing when some important fact or truth is being made aware to you. Below we will go through some of the most common Popcorn dream themes and symbols to help you interpret.
Dream About Popcorn Contexts
Dream about Buttered Popcorn
Dream about eating popcorn with delicious butter, suggest that you will be gratified and rewarded handsomely through your ideas. However, if the popcorn is soaked in butter, it represents overly confident in your thinking or strategies that can lead to serious issues.
Dream About Popcorn with Other Entertainment
Consider the contexts where you are eating the popcorn, for example the dream may depict you watching movies with certain group of people. Pay attention to these contexts, it represents that important ideas can be obtained from these social settings. Your subconscious mind is looking out for clues to help you learn and grow.
Dream About Flavored or Coated Popcorn
Dreaming about coated or heavily flavored popcorn, suggest some form of hiding of your ideas. Consider the type of flavors or additions to understand what is being altered. For example, if the popcorn in dream is coated with chili pepper, it can suggest that your ideas are perhaps too aggressive and making others uncomfortable. Although the chili coat can also suggest that people might find your ideas exotic and exciting.
Dream About Burned Popcorn
Burned or overcooked popcorn in dreams signified lost opportunities because you were trying too hard. Perhaps you have lost important cases or client projects because you were too pushy to get results. You might have lost your chances to profit because you pushed your ideas and opinions too hard on the others.
Dream About Popcorn Popping on a Corn Field
To see popcorns popping over the place on a corn field, suggest that you are jumping the gun with your ideas and endeavors. The timing might not be perfect for you to enjoy the gains, maybe it is time to step back and prepare yourself for the perfect launch.
Dream About Other Popcorn Related Objects
Dream About Popcorn Bag
The popcorn bag in dreams reflects that there are opportunities for you to apply your knowledge and ideas. It is time to fill up the popcorn bags with creativity and ideas that you have long dreamed of.
Dream About Popcorn Factory or Store
Dream about a place full of popcorn in the making or for sale at a shop, suggest that there are plenty of knowledge and lessons to be learned at this time of your life. Open your eyes and pay attention to the details around you. Be open and welcome new ways of thinking can be profitable in the long run.
Dream About Popcorn Kernels
If the popcorn kernel is unpopped, then it symbolizes unfulfilled potential. If in the dream, you lack the tools to pop the popcorn, it means that you are holding yourself back somehow. The mind is telling you to relearn, reinvent and reequip yourself with the proper tools and knowledge to achieve your full possibilities.
Dream About Popcorn Maker Machine
Dreams of a popcorn maker machine or popcorn popper that are making popcorns, suggest that your project or task is underway. Pay attention to the timing of those projects, the time to reap your rewards and profit is on the horizon.


text: School Uniforms are expensive when you are living off of what you can grow or make less than the equivalent of one US dollar a day. While a uniform is required by the schools, some children, especially elementary students, are allowed to come to school if they don't have one. However, the lack of a uniform especially a decent one, highlights their poverty and/or circumstances and leads to decreased self-esteem. A child without a decent uniform is often more quiet, withdrawn and more likely to drop out because of the pressure to get one and because they are overlooked.

Clint Eastwood daughter's wedding took place at Saddlepeak Lodge in California this weekend, with Alison Eastwood donning a stunning 1930's inspired beaded gown by Les Habitudes for her nuptials with 'Chainsaw Gang' sculptor Stacy Poitras. The couple's rings were designed by Philip Press.

In The Spring (tagline: "Live spelled backwards is evil.") Kyle MacLachlan stars as a hapless widower who, through an incredible series of unfortunate coincidences, ends up stranded in a town that just so happens to harbor a fountain of youth. Only all the residents agree to never leave the town and commit suicide on their 100th birthdays. The point of the youth serum is thus rendered irrelevant -- why live forever if it's not forever and it's in the podunkest town in the country?

Star/writer/director Gregory "Mars" Martin has certainly taken a few lessons from watching Walken. As pool prodigy Johnny Doyle, Martin sports bouffant Walken-esque hair and mimics the actor's famously off-kilter verbal cadence, but has no idea how to craft a performance aside from these affectations. As an orphaned kid, Doyle was taken under the wing of a mobster named Joe (Chazz Palminteri) who taught him to be a pool-playing con man. Years later, Doyle learns that Joe screwed him out of a chance to go professional, and he turns on his former benefactor - a decision that comes back to haunt him when Joe returns looking for revenge with a professional ringer (a surprisingly convincing Rick Schroder) in tow. Doyle is trying to keep his relationship with girlfriend Tara (Alison Eastwood) afloat despite her disapproval over his pool shark ways, and also attempting to steer his eager brother Danny (Michael Rosenbaum) and his gang of straight-out-of-central-casting wisecracking buddies away from a life of hustling.

Fox Egg Gallery
3730 Chicago Avenue South. Minneapolis, MN
ARTIST PAIGE TIGHE WILL FACILITATE HAND HOLDING AT FOX EGG GALLERY AFTER WALKING WITH PEOPLE IN NINE CITIES THIS SPRING IN THE "WALK WITH ME" PROJECT, June 29, 2013 1-4pm
What does walking hand-in-hand mean when the handholders aren't parent and child or lovers? What could it mean? Los Angeles artist Paige Tighe will explore these questions --and whatever other issues come up-- with Minneapolis community members and gallery goers as she asks volunteer partners to hold hands together from Fox Egg Gallery. Hopefully local volunteers can show gallery goers their neighborhood.
Along with the participatory element of the event, all of the writings, some photographs, and Tighe's newly published Artist Book about her project "Walk with Me" will be on display.
A Desire for Connection
"I began the project in LA out of a sense of frustration about the terms of everyday touch in America," says Tighe. "I was having a massage, and as the masseuse began working on my hand, all I wanted to do was hold her hand. Not our of a romantic impulse, but from a simple desire for connection.
"What does it mean to live in a culture where people hug hello only rarely, almost never kiss each other on the cheek in greeting, and hardly ever take one another's hands unless they're sleeping together? And what would it mean and feel like to hold hands in public with people who've volunteered to experience that connection? I decided I was going to hold hands with as many people as I could." In LA, people spoke of dreams and aspirations, worries and plans, while holding Paige's hand.
The Itinerary
Tighe quit her job, put all of her belongings in storage, and is hitting the road to continue her handholding quest, which she's funded via Kickstarter. Here's the tentative schedule:
Boston, MA, April 16-21
Gloucester, MA April 22-24
Providence, RI April 25
NYC April 26-31
Pittsburgh May 1-4
Washington DC May 5-8
Durham, NC may 9
Asheville, NC May 10-13
Greenfield, SC May 14-15
Athens, GA May 16-June 5
After the tour, she continued the project making posters at Double Dutch Press in Athens, GA, in Pittsburgh, PA, in Minneapolis—where she will working with Fox Egg Gallery--and in Half Moon Bay, California. Paige Tighe will be an artist in residence at the Half Moon Bay Residency this September.

Here are a few initial shots of what our Renegade looked like after the installation of our new Daystar Rock Sliders. However, for comparison sake, this is what it looked like with factory plastic rocker trim.
And, here's what it looks like now with the Daystar Rock Sliders installed.
A shot of the Daystar Rock Slider from underneath to show how it's boxed in, has a smooth bottom and wraps around the ends.
Close up of the rear end of the Daystar Rock Slider to show how it wraps around the pinch seam and fender liner tucks into it for a clean factory look.
Same close up shot only from the front.
Closer side shot.
This shot shows you what the Daystar Rock slider looks like with the driver side door open.
And this shot shows what it looks like with the rear door open.
A few overall shots.
Because I've already had people asking about it, yes, you can definitely use a Hi-Lift to raise your Renegade from the Daystar Rock Sliders.
I hope this write-up has been helpful to you. I will be sure to post more pics of our Renegade out on the trail as soon as I can.

My Daughter loves them
L A. - 13 Jan 2020
Received the shoe very quick, however we ordered a 5.5 women size, the box said 5.5 but the shoe was a 6.5. It would seem that the shoe ran small because the 6.5 fit with a little room in the toe box. We kept the 6.5 and my daughter is very happy with the shoe.
Stacey H. - 13 Jan 2020
These sneakers are just perfect! I love the bright colors and they are so very comfortable!
Nice kicks
REBECCA C. - 06 Jan 2020
I'm normally a 5.5 in women's sneakers but decided to order a size 5. They fit snug but I do like my sneakers tight so it's all on personal preference.

–Kenny Rice
Remember when he was going to turn the US upside down with his arrival and subsequent domination? He was going to convert all those who were still leery of mixed martial arts into devotees after they saw him. His influence would dwarf that of Pele' arriving to boost soccer in this country in the 1970's. He didn't need the established UFC, he would be his own boss, he was that good, maybe the greatest ever.
Instead of doing any of that, this weekend far from the ballyhoo of a mere three years ago, Fedor Emelianenko is getting just a shade more national media attention than a fencing tournament, for his fight with Dan Henderson in Strikeforce. No mass PPV deal, no turning away hordes of reporters, if you subscribe to a premium channel you can watch it. And that is sad. It also begs the biggest question, the elephant in the room that most MMA pundits still try to ignore, is he the greatest or just an exceptionally good fighter who benefited from advantageous match ups?
Granted deserving of Hall of Fame honors someday, but is he more like Sadaharo Oh the legendary Japanese baseball player who hit a "world" record 868 home runs in his 22 years with the Yomiuri Giants, but never played in the larger parks, against the best pitchers as did his contemporary in the US, Henry Aaron. That Emelianenko's storied career was made in Japan and his biggest wins were there against lesser competition that his contemporaries were facing in the UFC, certainly draws comparison.
What has happened to "The Last Emperor"? At 34 years old he should just be reaching his prime, instead he's been whipped, not just beaten, in two straight fights, the later to Antonio Silva taking him out of the Strikeforce Grand Prix Tournament.
Even his the successes he's had since he decided to prove himself in the US on July 19, 2008 are debatable. Yes he fought here earlier in 2006 beating Mark Coleman, but it was three years ago when it was really going to matter when Affliction (remember them outside of their apparel company?) was going to rival any and all with the signing of Fedor.
So good he was recognized by one name. So daunting a streak of wins in Japan and five separate major championships abroad, it was only a matter of time before all would bow with universal acceptance. In addition, the man was incredibly likeable, amiable to all he encountered. Though his entourage shrouded him in a retro Soviet Union manner of secrecy about his training and his life. Want to know something real about the Russian? Nyet.
His victories in America have come against two former UFC champs as his loyal followers will quickly note, but Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski have since shown to be far from their prime. Arlovski was puzzling Emelianenko throughout the first round of their bout before an ill advised attempt at a flying knee led to his being knocked out in one punch. Such is the power of Fedor, another part of his myth-like existence. The less heralded Brett Rogers should have finished him in the first round before losing in the second.
His best days were in Pride in Japan. He had some wins over very talented fighters but given his slow but sure demise since coming stateside it is obvious why he was reluctant all those previous years to fight at the UFC level. To not have done that casts a giant shadow over certainly worthy conquests and accomplishments.
If Emelianenko, the 2-1 favorite, loses to Henderson, the Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champ who agreed to move up to in weight to accommodate Fedor, there will be further tarnish on what he did as the "Last Emperor" of the sport. Henderson, who has one fight remaining on his contract, is a scary match up for Fedor and one has to wonder about his confidence after so many lackluster performances of late. It is essentially a consolation fight for being knocked out, literally, in the much more publicized Grand Prix Tournament.
Three straight defeats against opponents much better than the vast majority of his Japanese victories, will wake up even his staunchest supporters, that maybe there is something to the questions of how good he really was, and how he would've fared if he had fought the UFC's best.
This weekend he could be making his last stand.

Lookin' good, ladies (after the Susan frown wore off...)ReplyDelete
Nancy, I haven't the faintest idea how close to original the Uber Project is or isn't (aside from it looking darn close to the picture you linked). It still looks great, and were I General Washington I would have nodded as well.
Well done!
Jay H. did a great job with the hat!ReplyDelete
I dare say the rules then bear a few significant similarities to the rules now; specifically, "the lady wears what the lady likes, and the rest of you can go hang".
Within certain minor limitations, of course ;).
Regardless, looks good! I still remember my first visit to Williamsburg as a kid and having to constantly remind myself that folks wore stuff like that before the advent of air conditioning...
Linoge - on one hand, when you're not stuck in A/C all day, you acclimate fairly well. And natural fibers breathe. On the other hand, it was said by the Englinsh that one could not comprehend the heat and humidity of Williamsburg, and to have one's clothing made of the thinest, lightest material possible. I wore it on Saturday (mid-80's) and was warm, but not outwardly perspiring - the warmth due to the wig and hat as much as anything I think. Sunday was in the low 50's and I was a bit cool for my taste, but tolerable. I love wool ...ReplyDelete
Very attractive, I like it. It appears your daughter cheered up later on, good one.
Regards, Keith.
Those epaulettes are beyond awesome.
I want a pair of my own.
Congratulations! at least you've tried how it feels like in the 18th century women. And good to see that your daughter is also a part of it.ReplyDelete
Glad to see SD had a smile on her face later in the day too! :)
Go over to the Replica Prop Forum, I'm a member there and we have lots of costumers, I think they would like to see your riding outfit.ReplyDelete
Well, looks like your skill plying needle and thread is also uber.
Ha, it would have taken me two years just looking and touching the fabric, trying to pull forth courage to tackle such an uber project! From the pictures, it looks beautiful. Holy cow it looks awesome!
Hopefully SD got her little fingers kissed better many times that day. Smashed fingers hurt so badly.
Thank you so much for emailing me back. Sorry I have been slow to reply.....uber lame of me I know. Lol
Forgive me, I'm sooooooooooooooo old, I wasn't 100% sure of the def of the word uber, I know, huh, lame.....but anyway I did what any self respecting granny would do, I looked it up. Ha, I'm so going to be using this word from now on.
I'll be looking forward to the posting of more pictures of your habit.
Thank you again for the info on the girls mill farm pattern. I WILL email you back. I do have some more questions, and yes, I would LOVE your help and advise.

As the new editor of Chandler Lifestyle, I am delighted to spend the upcoming months getting to know the community that I have come to love even better and to feature all the wonderful people, businesses and events our city holds. Since new beginnings are always a time for celebration, it is only fitting that our October issue highlight two special occasion staples: wine and beer.
I've personally been lucky enough to experience the winemaking process first-hand while in Italy; and the experience was one that I will not soon forget. It was a crisp, chilly mid-September morning; the sun was just peeking out over the hills, casting a golden glow over the whole city. I looked out the window to see fields of bright sunflowers, farms with grazing cattle and old brick houses with ashy smoke rising out from the chimneys as we made our way from the city center onto a quiet dirt road in the countryside.
With the sun now fully risen in the sky, I beheld a wondrous sight before me as we stopped: row upon row of lush green vines dotted with plump purple grapes as far as the eye could see. Once on the vineyard, we were greeted by a husband, wife and their three children, who soon informed us that we would be spending our day picking grapes for the harvest. I was handed an old, dirt-laden bucket and directed to the part of the vineyard where I would be working.
Four hours later, my jeans were soaked knee deep with thick mud, my shirt had splotches of purple all over and my hands had turned a greenish-brown color—I had never felt so exhausted yet so accomplished. After devouring a sizeable meal, we helped clean before relaxing under the shade of the trees while the kids taught the boys from our group how to really play soccer. As the sun began to set and we prepared to leave, I looked at my hands: they were calloused and a little scarred, and there was still dirt under my fingernails, but I had spent the day reconnecting with the land and had gained a true appreciation for it.
Here, we celebrate Arizona's local wines and beers, along with the winemakers, sommeliers and brewmasters dedicated to their craft. Featured are the wonderful, eclectic wineries of Jerome, sumptuous wine-infused recipes and the best brews for football tailgating with friends and family. Enjoy!

After reading this article in SL, I'm inspired to finally decorate my coffee table.
I'm a *really* picky eater, y'all. I only eat certain foods and have never tried lots of foods like hamburgers, cakes, pies, etc. I tried pancakes for the first time this past weekend. Life. Changing.
Loving this song! I'm not a big One Direction fan, but this song could change that. Also, my car looks dusty, but I promise it's not. I have no idea why the picture looks like that.
I want the entire Kate Spade collection at Swoozies. It's all adorable!
Speaking of Kate Spade, how gorgeous is her packaging? So pretty!
When I was in Swoozies, I discovered that they started selling Emily Ley planners. When did this happen? I'm dying for the colorful striped one! 2015, hurry up! :)
I'm loving this pillow that I grabbed at Hobby Lobby, but the more I look at it, the more I realize that it would be super easy to DIY. Project time!
I'll leave you with this adorable picture of my sleeping baby. I just love her :)

This listing is for FOUR pieces of less than perfect, though still beautiful, Moss Rose Dishes in Homer Laughlin's Swing Shape. Each of the four pieces have a nick or chip. Except for the cup, the issues are out of sight or on the bottom of the pieces so they remain quite pretty for use or display.
The large plate measures 9 1/4". The upper side remains without damage and the rose design in Excellent Condition. Photo number four, shows the bottom of this plate. It is the one in the middle. As in the photo the shallow chip in the plate is near the edge and less than 1/8" across.
The bread & butter plate measures 6 1/8". This plate also has a chip on the under side, near the edge that measures almost 1/4". The visible or upper side of this plate is also in great and lovely condition. The bread & butter plate is the top plate in photo number four.
The saucer is 5 3/8" and also has a chip on the under side, near the edge, that measures almost 1/4". The visible or upper side of the saucer is in very good condition. The saucer is the lower plate in photo number four.
The cup which has the circular handle known to the Swing Shape, is the piece in this place setting that does show chips on the upper side. There are two areas near the rim of the cup. The one that is most visible is on the inside and is approx. 1/4" wide by about 1/16", there is also a very tiny nick on the outside rim that is barely detectable.
In spite of each of the nicks and chips as listed, the four pieces remain quite attractive and useful, a lovely set from the early 1940's.
This popular Homer Laughlin Pink Rose Pattern is usually referred to as Moss Rose though sometimes found under Calirose or Calarose. The centered blooming pink rose with rosebud is complemented by the pastel pink trim at their edge. This pattern is like the Pink Organdy pattern, also in Laughlin's Swing shape, with the addition of the pretty pink rose in the center. The Swing Shape is known for its rounded edges. Laughlin's Eggshell line of dishes were created as thinner, more elegant dinnerware (more like china) than their previous pottery.
This listing price is for the Service for FOUR in the initial pictures.
Other items in Moss Rose (and also in Pink Organdy) are available in this shop. The last photo shows the service for four with two additions that are also available in this shop; a double egg cup and a cereal bowl. Please search Laughlin Moss Rose in this shop to see other matching items.

"This too shall pass"~Lisa Richards
That is my friend's parenting mantra. Sounds a bit like something that was written on stone somewhere are read outloud by Moses. That, combined with an article she posted on Facebook the other day, was a strange kind of revelation to me.
For non-parents (and probably parents that aren't me) this might not seem so amazing to you. But for me it was a concept that hadn't really sunk in. I couldn't see the forest for all the trees, so to speak.
Somehow, in my day-to-day battles with two toddlers it hadn't occured to me that in a year things would be much different, in two years, then three years, the situation would be completely different.
But this is not about tantrums, lack of sleep, mess and other general tedium directly related to being a stay at home mother (SAHM) of two toddlers, this is more about my recent anxiety about going back to work.
See, I have been away from work since my daughter was born two and a bit years ago. For generations past that might not seem like a big deal. Perhaps when I first decided to start a family I should have accepted that my working (well, payed working) days were done. But for this current generation of parents the situation is not like that. I feel like I'm expected to go back to work as soon as my kids hit 12 months.
It's not as simple as that. It's not exactly that people are telling me to go get a job. My husband doesn't pressure me in any way to do that. He insists that if I want to be a SAHM for ever then that is ok. But it's not ok with me. I feel the urge to "bring home to bacon". I have been programmed over the years to support myself, to provide my own financial support. This is, of course, not the right mindset to have in a family.
Paying off our mortgage at a faster rate would of course be awesome, but in the meantime, we aren't starving. OUR budget is fine.
It's not my husband's money, it's our money.
But like most irrational mindsets, this is a hard one to really accept.
Also, a part of me really wants to get back to regular adult conversation and using some of the higher brain functions. Dammit, I studied music and mathematics in university, not laundry or floor mopping 101!
I know, I know, raising the children is an important job. Maybe THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB. But it is also a really hard job that every parent needs a break from.
Every now and then I do a day of work and it is amazing. I feel regenerated. I feel purposeful. I come home in a good mood and feel like I am changing the world.
I did do 3 weeks of FULL TIME work a few months ago. That was not so regenerative. Our home and family sanity was being held together by a fine strand. The only way we got through two adults working full-time was that my working stint had a definite end date.
This is where some of the anxiety comes in. I'm a high school teacher. It's a very demanding job physically and psychologically. When I go in and do emergency teaching it is a very different thing to being a regular teacher. I don't have "homework" to do. There is no preparation, marking, parent-teacher meetings, staff meetings, camps, on-going disciplinary issues or PD expectations for an emergency teacher. It's like having one of those "normal" jobs where when you leave work, you can turn work off in your head (well, in theory). Or at least a job where you don't have to take home huge piles of text books, assignments, tests and reading tasks to do in your own time.
How will I ever be able to juggle school teaching and my family life?
How many days work can I manage without taking on too much stuff?
Can I find a school where I can work that many days (in between kids, I went back to my regular school to work, they allowed a minimum of a 4 day allotment which was, in my case, spread over 5 days)?
Should I change professions?
What can I do other than be a teacher with my current qualifications?
Do I need to return to study so as to broaden my qualifications so I can get different types of jobs?
But the big one that really sends me into an anxiety spiral- is this going to be detrimental to my children? (I'm sitting here trying to think how I would have managed the carnage that was the great head lice debacle of 2012? That would have set me back a month a work by the time I took days off and then tried to catch up again…)
So, I come back to "this too shall pass".
Next year my kids will be at three and four year old kindergarten. That doesn't really take up many hours of the week, they won't be there at the same time. But the following year my eldest will be at Primary school. In 2015, both of my children will be at Primary school.
Is this really all the case or is this just the depths-of-winter-vitamin-D-deficiancy talking?
In the meantime, if anyone has any jobs for me, drop me a line. I've got a lot of interesting skills…..

Subtle bands of color highlight this Hubble Space Telescope view of Uranus, the solar system's third-largest planet. The cloud bands go up and down because Uranus is tilted on its side. The planet puts on its best showing of the year in early October, although binoculars or a telescope are still needed to see it. [NASA/STScI]

Uranus at Opposition
Hundreds of planets have been found in other star systems. They're all so far away, though, that they're seen as no more than squiggly lines on a computer screen. Yet astronomers are slowly starting to tease details out of some of those squiggles.
To understand how difficult the problem is, consider that there's still a lot to learn about the planets of our own solar system, even though by astronomical standards they're just next door.
One mystery, for example, is why the planet Uranus radiates so little energy into space.
The four outermost planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — are all giants. They're so heavy that their gravity squeezes their interiors tightly, producing heat that radiates into space. In fact, three of the four worlds emit a good bit more energy than they receive from the Sun. The exception is Uranus, where the energy is roughly balanced — and scientists are trying to figure out why.
Another mystery is the planet's climate. Uranus orbits the Sun on its side, with each pole receiving 42 years of sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness. Astronomers are watching to see how the planet's climate changes with the seasons — one of the mysteries of a world in our own neighborhood.
And this is a good time to study Uranus because it's closest to Earth, so it's biggest and brightest for the year. Even so, you need binoculars to spot it. It's low in the east as night falls, in a barren patch of sky.
More tomorrow.

Then there's Entourage, an exclusive teen zone for ages 13-17, located at the top of the ship. This funky space might even make mom and dad jealous, with air hockey and foosball tables, a video jukebox, flat-screen TVs and a central gaming area featuring PlayStation 3. In the evenings, Entourage transforms into a nightclub for this same age group with a dance floor and plenty of comfy couches to lounge on. Right below Entourage is an expansive video arcade with everything from Guitar Hero to car racing games and vending machines stocked with goodies.
freestyle entertainment Gone are the days where cruises featured one or two nightly shows in one dedicated theater. The Epic offers a number of entertainment options—some even offered for the first time at sea—designed to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
Our favorite, though, by a long shot was the Blue Man Group, which truly pushes the envelope in terms of innovative theatrical performances. We recommend you tell your clients to set aside an evening for this zany performance (suitable for kids ages 5 and up), because it's a completely unexpected and a delight. The group performs eight shows per week in the ship's Epic Theatre and runs 75 minutes; reservations are encouraged.
There's also "Cirque Dreams and Dinner," a 2-hour interactive theatrical dining experience that takes place nightly in the Spiegel Tent, which we think is a great option for families with younger children. Though there are a couple of acts with some impressive acrobats, this show is full of mayhem, with jugglers, mischievous characters, music, and tons of silliness. "Cirque Dreams and Dinner" performs 12 shows during a 7-day cruise. Cover charge is $15 pp for general seating in the banquets and upper deck and $20 pp for premium seating on the ground floor.
playtime for grownups Clowns, jugglers and blue-painted performers are all well and good, but mom and dad might want some more, shall we say, "mature" activities—and we're not talking shuffleboard here. Enter the SVEDKA Ice Bar. Inspired by the original ice bars and ice hotels in Scandanavia, SVEDKA is the first ice bar at sea and a must-visit on the Norwegian Epic. This frozen chamber of ice features a bar, walls, tables, stools, glasses and life-size sculptures. LED lighting with changing hues of blue, green and purple are reminiscent of the Northern Lights, creating an authentic Arctic atmosphere. Guests are given coats, gloves and hats to keep warm, since the room is kept at a chilling 17 degrees Fahrenheit.
SVEDKA is open nightly from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. There is a $20 pp cover charge that includes two signature cocktails and 45 minutes in the Ice Bar. Reservations are encouraged.
Guests who would rather stay warm can check out any of the other 20 bars and lounges on board. POSH Beach Club, for instance, is an outdoor space perfect for poolside lounging during the day, lined with white-cushioned daybeds and private cabanas. At night, POSH turns into an open-air nightclub, complete with a dance floor, DJ and VIP bottle service.
There's also Bliss Ultralounge—a bowling alley and casual lounge by day and nightclub with dance floor and private VIP areas by night—and SpiceH20, an adults-only complex with a pool and plenty of lounging space, as well as an oversized LED screen that displays vibrant video images and music. Then at night, a dance floor rises from the pool and Spice H20 becomes a beach club with live entertainment.
Gamers will also love to know that much of deck 6 is dedicated to the Epic Casino, spanning over 13,000 sq. ft. This Monte Carlo-inspired casino features 340 slot machines, along with gaming tables featuring blackjack, roulette, poker and craps. Cascades Bar, with a grand central crystal chandelier serves as the casino's centerpiece.
freestyle dining With 20 freestyle restaurants on board, there are dining options to please every palate. During Recommend's visit, we particularly enjoyed Teppanyaki (cover charge $20 pp), which features chefs cooking exhibition-style Japanese cuisine on top flat grills. Cagney's Steakhouse is also a must (cover charge $25 pp). Here, guests can enjoy mouth-watering steaks ranging from filet mignon to a 167-oz. T-bone, as well as salmon and double cut pork chops, and an array of cocktails.

How do you measure your social media and community activity and results? This article is a collaborative effort to capture key metrics by social media platform and community scenario (or strategy).
You can help. Join the TechNet Wiki member community and revise this topic to reflect your approach and success metrics, enhance existing guidance, or provide additional references (including pointers and descriptions to your relevant content)!
This section contains background information including typical goals of social media and community efforts and a description of common metrics.
There are many reasons why individuals and organizations engage community. Typical goals include:
The following metrics are common across multiple platforms and scenarios. Many derive meaning only when backed by business and team goals as part of a larger scenario. Not all metrics apply to every platform.
Different people and organization have different reasons to gather metrics. You may need to provide these to a potential advertiser, to a potential investor in your site, or you might just want to gather them and see what happens to them when you try out
different approaches to your site or social platform. While metrics are useful in these and other ways, they represent an inexact science at best, and can be totally misleading at worse. You should be able to easily recognize if your efforts are successful
by looking at the totality of your metrics, non-quantitative observations, and direct input from members of your community. In most cases, you'll be able to easily recognize whether what you're doing is working or not without getting bogged down in measurements.
Social media tools have basic functionality that tend to dictate a core set of metrics. For example, the metrics
number of connections. number of influential connections, and recommendations make sense for social networking sites like Linked-In that make it easy to make and sustain professional connections. These metrics can be important on
their own but are generally part of a larger multi-platform and community effort (or scenario; see
Scenarios below).
Blogs provide a publishing environment for a wide variety of content. Articles, videos, files, code snippets and other types of content can be hosted on a blog. Various metrics that can be considered when measuring the performance of a blog might include:
In addition to the raw numbers obtained for the above measurements, you might also want to consider "weighted values". The weighted values (which we might call "ratings") enable you to compare performance based on the popularity of the product or technology
on which the blog is focused.
For example - suppose that Microsoft Exchange has 1000 customers (of course this is wrong, but we're just putting up a number of our example) and the Unified Access Gateway has 10 customers. We could then conjecture that Exchange is approximately 100X more
popular than UAG and therefore we could multiply our raw numbers (not derivative values like M/M percentage increases or decreases) by 100 to see how the blog hosting content on UAG would perform if the product were as popular as Exchange. The weighting values
would be potentially higher for topics that reach across a large number of technologies, such as scripting.
Wikis enable collaborative authoring of articles and longer chunks of information. For a quick review, visit
Wiki, a comprehensive article about Wikis, on Wikipedia.
Metrics for Wikis include:
This section explores metrics by scenarios of varying complexity. Please share your scenarios and metrics; this article will only improve if you contribute!

Heat Pump Repair & Replacement
Heat pumps have gained popularity over the last few years, largely due to more homeowners and commercial property managers learning about this efficient option for heating and cooling.

- Cheaper than oil or gas boilers
- Eco friendly
- Energy efficient
- Improved air quality
- Increased home value
- Less maintenance required
- Long life span
- No flames, no hot surfaces – Safe for families!
We'd be happy to talk to you more about the many benefits of a heat pump, but the key–as with anything–is that your system must be installed right and well-maintained to really see the benefits.

While higher education is a costly proposition, many colleges around the country are coming up with ways to help students get a degree without breaking the bank.
College Is Expensive
No two ways about it — college is expensive, and the cost is only climbing.
Moderate annual cost (1)
In-state public: $22,826
Private college: $44,750
3 in 5
Students who borrow to cover college costs (2)
$1 trillion
Estimated outstanding student loan debt in the U.S. (3)
Keeping Tuition Low
One of the most tried-and-true ways of lowering your college costs is by attending an in-state school. But several institutions around the country are making out-of-state students feel more welcome:
Least expensive public colleges for out-of-state students (tuition and fees) (4)
School name, state: Tuition and fees (2012-2013)
Minot State University, ND: $5,921
West Texas A&M University, TX: $7,630
Bemidji State University, MN: $8,106
Mayville State University, ND: $8,436
Northern State University, SD: $9,133
Midwestern State University, TX: $9,188
Louisiana State University—Alexandria, LA: $9,244
South Dakota State University, SD: $9,350
University of South Dakota, SD: $9,650
Missouri Southern State University, MO: $9,654
National out-of-state average: $19,100 (4)
National in-state average: $8,300 (4)
Out-of-state average for 10 cheapest: $8,631 (4)
Regional Coverage
For students who want to leave home but not go too far away, many colleges participate in regional exchanges in which in-state tuition is available for students from nearby states. Look at some select states included in exchanges.
What's your region? (5)
Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia
- Southern Regional Education Board Academic Common Market
- Regional Contract Program
Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and Wisconsin
- Midwest Student Exchange
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming
- Western Undergraduate Exchange
- Western Regional Graduate Program
- Professional Student Exchange Program
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont
- New England Regional Student Program
Booking It
Textbook costs have surged in the past decade. Students and colleges alike are looking for ways to blunt the impact.
Average annual spending per student on textbooks (6)
Rise in price of textbooks between 2002 and 2013, nearly three times the rate of inflation (6)
Some professors include open-source textbooks in their class curriculum. Such books are written by faculty and peer-reviewed, as traditional books are, but they're free online and to download. And they're typically available in print for $20-$40.
University of Minnesota professor Irene Duranczyk uses an open textbook for her statistics course. The traditional book is $180. The open source version? Free. (6)
Three Is the Magic Number
Taking a cue from European programs, many American colleges now offer a three-year bachelor's degree, cutting at least a year off the standard college cost.
Select colleges offering three-year degree programs: (7)
Ashland University: OH
Baldwin-Wallace College: OH
Thomas More College: KY
Urbana University: OH
Wentworth Institute of Technology: MA
American University: DC
Bluffton University: OH
Grace College: IN
Lesley University: MA
St. John's University: NY
Mount St. Mary's University: MD
Nichols College: MA
Sterling College: VT
University of Akron: OH
Ursuline College: OH
Chatham University: PA
Hartwick College: NY

God of Carnage, International Wetlands Day, Fry Bread, Bird Singers and Gourd Dancing
Events January 30-February 1, 2020
Various Authors noon, Jan. 25
Krishna Haney, a former commissioner of the San Diego Ethics Commission (appointed by former Mayor Jerry Sanders), has been disciplined by the California State Bar. In 2011, her car struck an emergency call box. She went to a gas station and asked a person to loan her money to buy gas. According to the bar's statement, she pleaded with a witness not to call 911 because she did not have money for health or auto insurance and didn't want her car impounded.
She stated she had had a panic attack. She admitted that she had taken drugs Clonezepam, Cymbalta, Flexeril, and hydrocodone that day. Ultimately, she pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of hydrocodone, a narcotic analgesic. She said she used pain killers for an injury. She tested negative for the presence of alcohol but had committed an alcohol-related driving offense in 2001. For the period of one year, she must submit quarterly reports to the Office of Probation, attend abstinence-based self-help meetings twice a month, and attend the bar's Ethics School.
She formerly worked for Gordon & Rees and the firm of La Bella and McNamara, launched by Charles La Bella, the personal lawyer for John Moores. La Bella got his client off the hook on the Valerie Stallings gift matter and in lawsuits related to the fraud-sated tech company, Peregrine. The firm broke up when La Bella went back to work for the federal government.
In another bar action, Joy Ann Bull has been suspended from the practice of law for 90 days, and will be on probation for one year. While working for the firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, which she has now left, she submitted expense claims that were later shown to be inflated. She said she had erred, partly because she was grieving over the death of her husband. The Robbins Geller firm is an outgrowth of a firm started by William Lerach, who went to prison for misdeeds and was disbarred.
It would be fun to claim that Haney's problems were just a part of overall municipal corruption, but that isn't it. Her situation is just pathetic, and she'll have a very hard time being employed as an attorney again. She should be sitting on the top of the world now, but instead is closer to or in the gutter. Sad.
Visduh: Any time a person gets hooked on controlled substances, the situation can be described as sad. Best, Don Bauder
Quite the relaxing cocktail: clonezepam, cymbalta, flexeril and hydrocodone. And who knew that Charles La Bella went back to work for the federal gov'mint? Where's he at -- Homeland Security?
monaghan: After scheming to get Moores off the hook both on Stallings and Peregrine, La Bella moved to the Criminal Division, Fraud Section, of the Justice Department, and the firm of La Bella and McNamara disbanded. Best, Don Bauder
It looks like Haney got special treatment. All the charges against her were dismissed. There's no evidence of the drunk driving, hit and run, etc in the Superior Court index. She has a clean record. See below This is another indication that Bonnie Dumanis is a corrupt DA. This really stinks.
Burwell: Since she had an alcohol-related driving offense in 2001, one has to wonder. In 2011, she pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of a controlled substance. That should be in the records. You are correct to wonder why it is not. Best, Don Bauder
The simple answer is that lawyers take care of their own; unless personal animosity gets in the way. When that happens, watch out! Yes, Bahnee is a most corrupt DA.
Visduh: The information might have been expunged because she was a former member of the purported Ethics Commission. Best, Don Bauder

Getting caught off guard, especially pre-caffeine, can do strange things to people.
Like blurt out, "Wattup, dude?!" when you run into your CEO at the coffeemaker.
So it helps to have a general idea of how you might handle an unexpected encounter with the dudes (of either sex) on your company's leadership team.
According to Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, an etiquette and civility expert and the author of "Don't Burp in the Boardroom," bumping into your CEO is a chance to make a positive impression and to show that you're able to handle yourself in a professional way.
"It's an opportunity to show yourself off," Randall said.
It doesn't take anything fancy.
If you work at a relatively small company and you're well acquainted with your CEO, Randall suggested saying something like, "I didn't know you were a coffee drinker, too," or bringing up an upcoming event: "Do you have plans for Presidents' week?"
The situation is slightly more complicated if you don't know your CEO very well. You'll want to read their body language and determine whether they're in a huge rush or whether they're open to conversation.
If they do seem open, you can introduce yourself. Extend your hand and say, "Hi, I'm [your first and last name]. I work in [your department]."
At that point, your CEO might start a conversation — "I used to work in human resources, too!" — so be prepared to keep talking.
Or, they might shake your hand and go back to stirring their coffee.
In the second scenario, "take that hint," Randall said. Say, "Have a good day," and leave them alone.
If you really don't know your CEO — as in, you work at a huge company and you wouldn't even recognize them — you've got another option. Say you walk away from the coffee maker, only to realize that the person now preparing their beverage is in fact the leader of your company.
Again, Randall said, it's about picking up on body language cues. If they seem receptive or they're lingering in the kitchen, you can go back and say, "Sorry to bother you" and introduce yourself.
If they look rushed, let it go.
Whatever you do, Randall said, don't bring up a complaint. Catching them off guard like that is unprofessional. Don't bring up a new idea you have for the company either — save that for a private meeting.
Regardless of how long you end up speaking with your CEO or how talkative they are, make sure you say, "It was a pleasure to meet you" before you part ways.

- Description
- Safety Benefit
- Performed assessments
Forward Alert is a forward collision warning system including collision mitigation by braking (CMbB) which uses a front radar sensor to help identify critical situations. At speeds between 7km/h and 180km/h, a distance some 200m ahead of the car is scanned for radar reflective obstacles. Some two and a half seconds before impact, the driver is warned of a potential danger. A second later, the CMbB functionality kicks in so that when the driver lifts the gas pedal, the car automatically delivers a moderate brake force. As soon as the driver applies the brake the maximum brake force is applied, regardless of the pressure applied by the driver.
Safety Benefit
It is estimated that around 17 percent of all accidents with personal injuries in Germany are rear end collisions in longitudinal traffic. The main causes of such accidents are driver distraction or inattentiveness, and driver misperception where a driving situation is misjudged. Forward Alert operates at speeds between 7km/h and 180km/h. A decrease of over 25 percent for both slight and severely injured occupants in front to rear collisions is thought possible in cars equipped with Forward Alert. If all cars on the road were equipped with such a system, this would be equivalent to Forward Alert providing some measure of protection in accidents where, currently, around 8,500 people are severely injured and 63,500 are slightly injured in EU 27.
Forward Alert can be switched off by the driver. If it switched off, it remains off until it is turned back on again and does not default to 'on' at the beginning of a new journey. The status of the system is constantly indicated with an illuminated pictogram in the instrument panel. The Forward Alert system predicts when an accident is likely to happen. To do this, Forward Alert requires a sufficient radar reflectance of objects which the car is approaching. Also, the radar sensor needs a clear 'view' of the road in front and its efficiency is compromised by contamination such as snow, mud or leaves. In other specific situations, the system may not be able to support the driver, i.e. small radius corners and in case a vehicle cuts in to the lane.
Performed assessments
In addition to the in-house work done for the Forward Alert system, extensive track testing was done by one of the independent Euro NCAP laboratories to ensure that Forward Alert met targets for when warnings were given to the driver, and the points at where brake support was initiated. These track tests established the degree to which the impact speed was reduced in different accident scenarios against a simulated 'target' vehicle. Ford's accident research group carefully monitors the real-world crash performance of its vehicles and has extensive data on the performance and effectiveness of its advanced safety features.
