In another attempt to twist the facts, KCDC has denied that there is minimal impact on Climate Change suggesting that there had been a misquote. However, the attached letter from Mr. Dougherty shows that there was no misquote. Mr. Law, a BECA Carter consultant said that climate change predictions would be less pronounced on the Kapiti Coast at paragraph 56 of his submission. At paragraph 59, he says he "doubted that projected climate change would have an evident or quantifiable effect on low river flows in the Waikanae River."

Welcoming a rare April sun filled day,
my coffee and I shared the patio at mid-morn
in relief from the cocoon of rain-free rooms.
The quiet is marred only by distant traffic hum,
and I revel in the back drop of massive trees,
evergreens reaching toward the blue above.
A hidden cricket chirps its presence,
enlivened perhaps by the sun's warmth
luring us both from hiding in our cocoons.
A single chirp, then quiet, the sun not yet to his liking.
Close by, a hummingbird flits across my view,
his body borne on wings blurring in the air
and a needle like nose searching for pollen
in blossoms to appear at a later time.
A wild turkey adds a louder sound,
gobbling just once, a turkey chortle
from his hidden branch in the evergreens
A large crow struts beneath the trees,
searching the grass for other warming crickets.
Without giving voice, his bird chest thrusts forward
In his slow stride across the greening meadow
as he proclaims his sovereignty over all.
We are never alone in our world that we share
with one another, and the other species of beings.

Continuing the success of building and maintaining of pharmaceutical factory, HANVET leaders officially launched a new GMP-WHO vaccine factory, located in a 2,000 m2 area, fully equipped with the world's high advanced technologies and equipment.
Started as a R&D center, established in 2007, HANVET has increasingly strengthen its image as a qualified local vaccines supplier, who is capable enough to provide a partial market share that has been invaded by the imported ones for many years.
The new production capacity is about 200~400 million doses a year, focusing on three major fields, including vaccines, antibodies, probiotics (L. acidophilus, L. sporogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Enterococcus faecium).
In terms of vaccines, HANVET is proud to operate up to 04 GMP-WHO vaccines production lines, including attenuated viral vaccines production on cell-culture and attenuated viral vaccines production on egg-york culture; inactivated bacterial vaccines and attenuated bacterial vaccines production.
Antibodies are other respectable achievements of our R&D experts, recognized by Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology. Among that, HANVET K.T.G is a sterile emulsion, containing specific antibodies against infectious bursal disease (IBD), Newcastle disease (ND) and Infectious bronchitis (IB) in chickens; that obtained from hyper-immunized hen egg-yolk. In addition, the preparation acts as a non-specific protein-therapy and increases the body's resistance to prevent infections and secondary infections. HANVET K.T.G has also been recognized by the first prize of VIFOTEC 2007 for a creative bio-product and the second prize at Korean International Expo in 2007.
While HANVET K.T.V is indicated against viral hepatitis in ducks, HANVET K.T.E, which was also awarded with VIFOTEC 2007 award, is indicated against E.Coli bacteria in pigs.
Following the government's pipeline on GMP-WHO standardized vaccine factory development, HANVET sets the target to provide the local market with highly qualified products, replacing the imported ones as well as exporting to other competitive international markets.

A century-old wooden deck chair from a sunken British ship might seem like an incongruous artifact to include in an exhibition of recently acquired objects by a New York history museum, except that this one was retrieved from the Titanic. New York, where the ship was to dock, was the final destination of about 200 of the 1,500 passengers who drowned in the disaster, and the first Senate hearings into the tragedy were held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
This summer, the Museum of the City of New York's longstanding "Timescapes" narrative history film was shifted downstairs to a new, permanent location. Whitney W. Donhauser, the museum's director, and Sarah M. Henry, the deputy director and chief curator, decided to remind visitors that the museum's collection of about 750,000 objects, photographs, texts, paintings and other images is continually growing, enriching the museum's interpretation of the past and adding contemporary items that presumably will be considered historic enough to preserve and display.
The result is "From Teaspoons to Titanic: Recent Acquisitions," a boutique sampler of keepsakes, all acquired since 2013 and most of them donated.
The second-floor gallery housing the exhibition radiates with riveting black-and-white photographs, but the most evocative object may be the bare beechwood deck chair with a ripped rattan seat.
The chair was supposed to arrive at what is now Chelsea Piers in April 1912 aboard the Titanic. Instead, it is likely to conjure up images of Leonardo DiCaprio from the film of the same name, or some of the actual passengers who desperately gripped a chair just like this one in the icy Atlantic when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage to New York after striking an iceberg.
In addition to the chairs on deck that floated away when the Titanic went down, dozens of them were believed to have been seized by a baker on the ship who tossed them into the ocean to use as rafts. A crewman on one of the recovery ships recorded on April 21 that "the ocean is strewn with a litter of woodwork, chairs and bodies."
Among the 1,500 victims were John Jacob Astor IV; Benjamin Guggenheim; and Isidor Straus, the co-owner of Macy's, and his wife, Ida. (Theodore Dreiser booked a less expensive passage on another vessel; Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt canceled at the last minute, but died three years later on the Lusitania.)
One of the 10 or so known existing chairs sold at auction last year for about $150,000. The museum's was a gift from Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer, a granddaughter of Estée Lauder and an executive at her cosmetics company.
Six souvenir sterling silver spoons, depicting New York scenes and representative of a collecting craze from the 1880s to the 1940s, come from a selection of 150 donated by the journalist and urbanist Roberta Gratz, who amassed them over 40 years. They include mostly engraved or die-stamped images of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the City Hall subway station.
The exhibition is organized by Lindsay Turley, director of collections at the museum, and Sean Corcoran, curator of prints and photographs. It includes Richard Haas's preparatory paintings for street-art murals; a rare photographic block-by-block panorama of Fifth Avenue in 1911 in book form, annotated by Louis Auchincloss, the novelist and historian; and stark visions of the city's physical and demographic evolution and diversity by, among others, the photographers Jan Staller, Leland Bobbé, Danny Lyon, R. D. Smith and Ed Grazda.
The museum solicits donations like these additions to the collection, including contemporary ephemera.
"For example," Dr. Henry, the deputy director, said, "we brought in copies of the Occupy Wall Street Journal, one of which will be on view in 'New York at Its Core,'" the ambitious first permanent exhibition by the museum. Opening in November, it will include the updated version of the film "Timescapes: A Multimedia Portrait of New York, 1609-Today," and evoke the very essence of the metropolis. "From Teaspoons to Titanic," Ms. Donhauser said, is a teaser for the 400-item "Core" exhibition.

Unbiased Report Exposes the Unanswered Questions on MilitaryAdmissions
You'll receive the support you have to finish. If you're planning to utilize Tuition Assistance, Veterans Affairs benefits, or another sort of military funding, you'll need to take action to make sure all documentation is submitted for those added benefits. On their site, USC's Veteran Services provides all you have to learn about this program, in addition to full benefit summaries and other relevant info. The campus Veterans Support Services will help students get the utmost amount of advantages and aid, based on each person's service background. Companies are attracted to well-rounded individuals that have a proven history of strong work ethic and keen small business knowledge. Military services also supply a great chance to travel and practice dentistry. A commemorative service supporting the Courthouse is going to be held after the march.
You have to use your military account if you don't don't have one. Benefits Payment is going to be sent to you at the end of each month enrolled in classes. Knock out pre-requisites and easy credits once you are able to.
You are unable to get them online. In reality, you may apply online now! Once approved, you may apply through the Go Army ED site.

You know you wish to return to school, but maybe you don't understand where to get started. To specifically meet the requirements of service members, the school provides a four course Military Transition Certificate that could be completed in approximately ten months. It may sound impressive, but if it doesn't have the course of study you need to reach your goals, or a campus culture that will help you succeed, it's not going to help you get ahead.
Get in touch with your regional College or Trade School to discover how to use your military education benefits to your best advantage and begin your educational path today.

No specific undergraduate plan of study is necessary for admission.

JESSICA JONES Returns In New MARVEL NOW! Ongoing
Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos and David Mack are reuniting for a new Jessica Jones ongoing series under the "Marvel NOW!" banner. Announced at IGN, the new series is precipitated by the character's world having "blown up in her face" according to Bendis.
"You're going to find out about it in the first issue. We're going to open up a book where Jessica's world has blown up in her face. She's aLt a place you'll least expect her," said Bendis. "You're going to find all of her relationships have altered. And we're slowly going to find out why. I do like writing Jessica where we have to figure out why this has happened."
Just as Jessica Jones appears sporadically in her husband's Power Man & Iron Fist title, Cage (and their daughter Danielle) will appear in her new ongoing.
"Having a child completely changes your perspective on everything, some in obvious ways and some in not-so-obvious ways. Some of them really sneak up on you. Like caring about somebody more than yourself, particularly when you're very self-involved like Jessica would tend to be, is a big thing," said Bendis. " Luke and Jessica have tried to raise a baby in a very dangerous environment. We talked about this during Avengers, you're raising a baby in Avengers Mansion and somebody's trying to knock that building over every four days. This is not the safest place for a baby. So your perspective changes, and as an investigator and a detective her perspective will change because she's a mother. I know some people are worried about that baby being dragged like a sack of potatoes that holds down the story or something, but I can think of many ways to tell the story celebrate this part of her life and at the same time complicates it to a degree that a lot of people can relate to. I think a lot of people can relate to trying to 'do it all.' Lord knows I can."
Bendis said this new series would have launched coinciding with the debut of Netflix's Jessica Jones series in 2015, but opted to wait so as Gaydos and Mack could join him. The three did do a special free one-shot coinciding with the show's debut last year however.
"I've worked with other artists on Jessica and always enjoyed it, but in my mind she never looks and feels and breathes and smells more like Jessica than when Michael draws her," said Bendis. "Between [Michael's art] and David Mack, who is one of my closest friends who did all the covers, that is the signature in which people think of her, of those visuals. So having them all back together and having everyone be just a little bit better at their jobs -- I think Michael is a better illustrator and David is a better painter -- and I have to rise to the occasion and meet them."
2016 is the fifteenth anniversary of the Jones character, who debuted in 2001's Alias series for Marvel's adult imprint, Marvel MAX. The character experienced a new level of fame with the debut of the Netflix show however, which Marvel Senior Vice President of Publishing Tom Brevoort calls a "gift."
"The one thing that the show did, it took Jessica Jones and made her much more of a household name than she ever was when Alias was being done, and much more important in the Marvel firmament, one of the very few characters that's headlined a Marvel property in film or on television, so consequently there's just more interest right now than a Jessica comic than there might have been a year ago or a couple of years ago," Brevoort said. "That's the one beautiful thing for us, the one ancillary gift that the show gave us was a much bigger audience and a much bigger spotlight to do the kind of stories that have always been done in Alias and now in Jessica Jones."
Here is the full solicitation to the first issue:
She is back after a decade! A lot has changed in the Marvel Universe and there are still many secrets hiding in the shadows. Secrets only a special woman like Jessica Jones can hope to uncover. Discover the haunting secrets from Jessica's past in this blistering new series. Alias Investigations is open for business.

We might consider that the problem with the Pharisees was that they were caught up in their own interpretation and development of the Law. Many Christians accuse Catholics of something similar: of building up "traditions" that are human interpretations of the Scriptures - whereas, of course, they believe they have a pure faith based upon Scripture alone (sola Scriptura). The opposite is actually the case. Holy Tradition is in fact the guidance by the Holy Spirit leading the Church into all the truth, something which our Lord promised would happen (for He didn't have the time to teach His disciples everything they needed). Catholics submit themselves to the Sacred Tradition given through the Holy Spirit and guaranteed by the Magisterium (teaching authority). They do not interpret Holy Scripture with the first thought that enters their head. Rather they listen to the Holy Scriptures within the Church, within the guidance of the Holy Spirit that is the Holy Tradition. Personal thoughts are just that, personal thoughts! Personal thoughts do not save! Just because we think we are nice Christians and feel close to God does not mean our thoughts reveal God's Word!
So this Lent let us discipline our reading of Holy Scripture and submit ourselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit through Sacred Tradition, not through personal interpretation. One very easy way we can do this is to use the Catechism of the Catholic Church and look up the citations of Holy Scripture. When we are reading a passage from Scripture look it up in the citations and find the paragraphs in the Catechism that refer to it. Then we shall know what it is the Holy Spirit has revealed to the Church about those particular verses in Scripture.

The Villainess (Jung Byung-gil)
The Villainess, the sophomore film from South Korean director Jung Byung-gil, is loaded with ambition. So frequently I'm tasked with reviewing humdrum American blockbusters that bombard viewers with insulting lallations of tired clichés. So to experience The Villainess, a film that mutates from a bloody revenge thriller to a pithy boarding school comedy to a meet-cute domestic drama, is in essence an exercise in recalibrating expectations. But while the film offers its share of surprises, effectively keeping me on my toes throughout its runtime, it is also a film that disappointingly fails to realize the depths of its ambitions.
The film's amateurish, anfractuous, and barely discernible plot involves Sook-hee (Ok-bin Kim). The wife of a gangster kingpin, Sook-hee slays hordes of gangsters during the film's opening sequence as retribution for her husband's murder. She's eventually detained by authorities of the Korean Intelligence Agency, where she becomes a product of the government to be trained as a mercenary secret agent. She trains alongside a cadre of other women, where she's promised a life as an actress and safe passage during motherhood (confusingly, she's notified that she's been impregnated at the start of the film by the KIA, in what's a strong-arm technique to get her to go along with their ambitions). She's stripped of her agency, with every one of her actions telegraphed and manipulated by the constant surveillance of the KIA – including her relationship with Hyun-soo (Jun Sung), a young man living in her apartment building. The audience is privy to the fact that Hyun-soo works for the KIA, with his attempts to seduce Sook-hee ranging from cute to eerie. Jung affords the two actors momentarily glimpses of chemistry, though ultimately it's all in service for the picture's copious action sequences.
While, in theory, Jung's rejection of narrative convention may spur a more insightful reading of The Villainess, it's hard not to shake that the clumsiness of the whole project. It comes across as the film of a madcap genius without the working knowledge of how to realize that vision. Case in point, the film's action sequences are fundamentally intriguing ideas that are spatially visually ghastly. The much-lauded first person action sequence that opens the film is digitized to oblivion, while other sequences are choppily edited or provide absolutely no working sense of the geography of their milieu. You're frequently lost in between rapid edits and clumsy choreography that your eyes quickly begin to glaze over as you attempt to discern what going throughout this quote unquote mayhem. There are components to The Villainess to admire, but they're all theoretical, leaving one to question exactly what Jung can realize.

5 Reasons Why Adults are Haunted by Childhood Trauma
Will Bratt
Adults who experienced trauma in their childhoods often struggle to understand why they're still troubled by those memories today. In this video I'll be sharing 5 reasons why it makes sense to be haunted by traumatic memories years, or even decades later. Keep watching to find out.
Hi folks, I'm Will Bratt from Heart & Oak Therapy, supporting better, brighter lives.
We're therapists who do regular videos on mental wellness, and give practical ideas and tips to make your life happier and more fulfilling – so hit the subscribe button to keep in the loop!
One of the most common questions I receive from adults who are struggling to heal from traumatic childhood experiences is, "Why can't I just get over it?"
The scope of this question is huge, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It feels incomplete to just say, "Because that was a traumatic experience, and that's how human beings respond to those kinds of things". A textbook, answer like this misses the nuance and humanity in the interest of tidiness and order.
In this video I draw out why adults are haunted by childhood trauma, with a special focus on meaning and context.
First, I think it's important that we get on the same page in terms of what we mean by "trauma".
"Trauma" is a word that can be used in many ways. People use it to refer to experiences that are challenging, scary, embarrassing, overwhelming, or shocking.
When it comes to the world of therapy, "trauma" generally refers to experiences that are emotionally overwhelming, profoundly distressing, and deeply upsetting. This can look like experiences of violence and abuse, brushes with death, moral injuries, deep humiliation, or horrific disasters.
No single experience is essentially or necessarily traumatic on its own. We can't just say, "Being held hostage in a bank robbery is a traumatic experience", or "If you're assaulted by a stranger on the street, you will be traumatized". Two people could survive a mugging or robbery side by side, and while both may agree that it was distressing, it could happen that only one of them walks away feeling traumatized. The meaning each person holds around the event is the key to whether or not they deem it traumatic.
So what is it about traumatic experiences in childhood that makes them especially hard to shake?
Because meaning is so crucial when it comes to whether or not we experience an event as traumatic, childhood is an especially vulnerable time in our lives. If you put yourself in your childhood shoes, you'll remember that children are largely dependent on (and at the mercy of) grownups and adult systems. Not only that, the relationships we have are mostly very close and familial, holding very different and more significant meaning than a lot of the more superfluous relations we gain as we get older.
Now I'm going to share 5 hallmarks of childhood trauma that have a lot to do with why traumatic childhood experiences can trouble us well into adulthood.
1. The first is violence and abuse. A shortcoming of the word "trauma" is that it's ambiguous and general. The reality is that childhood trauma usually consists of experience of interpersonal violence or abuse. These experiences are of a very different, far more personal nature than, say, a natural disaster or car crash – which can also be described as traumatic. As my mentors, Linda Coates and Allan Wade emphasize, violence is, by definition, deliberate. The fact that someone made the choice to do harm a child can, and should, be terribly upsetting.
2. The second reason is that traumatic childhood experiences are rarely isolated events. One way that the term "traumatic experience" can be misleading is that it can give the false impression that the experience was an isolated instance. While that can be true of some people's traumatic childhood experiences, more often it's violence, abuse, or mistreatment that takes place across time. When we reach adulthood, the trauma responses we have to our childhood memories are more often in relation to the conditions that perpetuated the suffering, as opposed to singular moments in time.
3. This brings us to the third hallmark of childhood trauma: Violations of social contracts. Abuse against children is typically carried out by people who should be in caring roles. Parents, foster parents, other family members, coaches, teachers, or clergy are socially sanctioned to provide safety and nurturance to children. Abuse is often perpetrated by those exploiting the privilege that comes with those positions. Going back to the issue of meaning, this can make abuse by these people all the more upsetting in the long term because it's done by people who should have been especially trustworthy and safe.
4. The social responses a child receives when experiencing violence or abuse, or when seeking help are another factor that can have a lot to do with why someone might deem a childhood experience to be traumatic. Because children largely depend on adults for safety and protection, when it's not provided, or when that safety is compromised further by an adult's response, it can be profoundly distressing. This can look any number of ways, including when an adult knows a child is in danger and does nothing to make it stop, when an adult punishes a child for coming forward and seeking help, when an adult on the periphery facilitates the violence, or when a child comes forward and is disbelieved or shamed. Understandably, negative social responses like these can be just as upsetting or more than the initial abuse or mistreatment.
5. Finally, number 5 is the inability to make it stop. I firmly believe that whenever there is violence, there is resistance. Children are no exception to this – in fact they're often the cleverest resisters and safety makers around. People of any age who experience violence or abuse know that offenders make efforts to supress resistance, which is why it usually flies under the radar, and can be mistaken for things other than what it is - such as "going along" with the abuse. Despite the presence and prevalence of children's resistance, it is rarely strong enough to absolutely stop violence, abuse, or mistreatment from happening altogether. Being unable to stop bad things from happening can leave us feeling profound despair, which can haunt us well into adulthood.
Phrases like "unresolved childhood trauma" can feel unwieldy and overwhelming. When people throw phrases like these around, they basically just mean "hurts from the past that haven't been made okay". In some cases, "making things okay" is a really tall order, but it's very unlikely that it's an impossible feat.
A helpful place to start can be around meaning – the very thing that makes a traumatic experience what it is. Exploring and understanding the meaning you hold around childhood trauma can help expose tangible avenues to pursue healing. This is one way therapy can be especially helpful!
While traumatic childhood experiences can haunt us well into adulthood, they can also be taken care of in beautiful ways that honour our dignity and support us in growth and healing. So now I'd like to turn over to you, the Heart & Oak community. Are there other reasons I didn't mention that might make it hard for adults to shake traumatic childhood experiences? Are there things that you know about that can help toward feeling at peace with childhood trauma. Make sure to let us know in the comment section!

charleston=( and christmas=)
this is my favorite day of the year. our sweet Savior has come and every twinkling light and decorated tree is celebrating it. happy birthday to the One who holds us close and knows our every step and loves us irrationally. the One who sacrificed Himself to save us. to be with us forever.
oh how He loves us.
may we honor You and bless You Lord. may our celebrations bring you glory.
we've had such a great christmas so far. you and daddy are taking a nap upstairs. i'm sitting in gigi's den with a fire in the fireplace, watching the twinkling christmas tree, and listening to christmas music playing in the background. and guess what else. i'm watching the snow fall while it decorates the woods surrounding gigi and grandaddy's house with white. it's a pretty big bonus since gigi and grandaddy's house is in georgia. i can't remember ever having a white christmas growing up, so this is lots of fun=) pictures and videos to come.
let's talk about charleston. i've been putting it off because it makes me very sad and scared to talk about it. but here we go.
on monday they told us that they saw stomach in your chest on the x-ray the day after surgery. i talked to dr gully who then called dr rodgers at uva. quick refresher: dr gully is my boss and your pediatrician. dr rodgers is the surgeon at uva that did your first 8 surgeries. dr gully told him what happened, what dr saad did during surgery, and what they saw in the x-ray after surgery. in a very diplomatic way he said if it were his child, he would get a second opinion at musc with dr andre hebra. we would basically trust dr rodgers blindly because we were with him for so long and we just love him. so dr gully called dr hebra and told him everything that had gone on and that dr rodgers pointed us in his direction. he sang dr rodgers's praises for a minute and said he was basically the guru of diaphragmatic hernias, which we already knew;), and that he could see us before christmas if we wanted. you were discharged from the hospital tuesday and we had an appointment with dr hebra in charleston wednesday at 11am. we we left at 6am and made the trek down i-26. he was super nice. so was his nurse practitioner. and the gyst was (again, in a very diplomatic way) that he obviously wasn't the surgeon in the OR with catherine and he wasn't necessarily saying dr saad made poor decisions, but just going on your history he would've done things VERY differently. which makes us sick. he said that the gortex patch wouldn't have pulled at the diaphragm and caused another hole, and that it shouldn't have been touched and should have been left in there. and that he didn't think your diaphragm could've grown enough in 2 years to have healthy tissue to be sewn back together, and he's concerned that whatever tissue dr saad did sew back together (scar tissue, maybe?) won't be strong enough to hold and that you might re-herniate every 6-12 months. and he's not sure if the hiatal hernia had been there for a long time or if it happened as a result of taking out the only strength (the gortex patch) your diaphragm had...meaning the gortex patch was taken out, the diaphragm got "loose" and the stomach slipped up into your chest. and that he still would've gone in through the chest instead of the abdomen. that if the stomach had already been in the chest, you would've been able to see it if you'd gone in through the chest. so again, he doesn't know if dr saad did everything right considering what he had to work with, but basically it doesn't sound like that's the case. so at first he said that as long as you're stable he wouldn't do surgery at all, that hiatal hernias can be perfectly fine and cause no problem, and he DEFINITELY wouldn't do surgery now unless he absolutely had to. buthe had us getanother x-ray when we let his office just so he could see what all was up in your chest, and when he got the results he called us and said it was much more impressive (not in a good way) than he expected and he would definitely have to do surgery on it. but again, hopefully after you're fully recovered from this one. i'm guessing that means about 2 months, but i also think i might have just made that number up. after he saw the x-ray he asked me to get discs made of all the x-rays they had done of you during the past week and mail them to him. which we did thursday morning. he wanted to look at the x-rays to figure out if the stomach was up in the chest before that last surgery, or if it happened as a result of the surgery, and he also wanted to make sure he agreed that it was only the stomach that was in your chest now and no intestines. and he said that after he reviewed all of those, he would call us back because he probably would get a CT of you to see exactly where the hole is, and what is where in your little belly and chest. they tried to avoid a CT at greenville because it's an outrageous amount of radiation, but it makes sense at this point that dr hebra thinks he needs one. they emphasized that somebody was on call 24/7 and for us to call if anything is worrying us or if you're showing any signs of bowel obstruction. it scared us out of our minds, to be honest with you. the drive back home from charleston was not so fun because i was just staring at you the whole time wondering if you were really ok. but we started feeding you through the tube again that night and it really has perked you up. we did end up coming to atlanta to be with our family at christmas (they said there was no reason we shouldn't come) and you're doing much better. more energetic and less pain and closer to normal. you're much fussier than you were before, and though you're still a sweet angel you're not quite as sweet as before. i guess i can't blame you-having people do painful stuff to you for 5 days straight will wear a girl out and teach you to be pretty defensive.
so we're waiting. hopefully we'll hear next week when dr hebra wants the CT and we'll know more after that. in the mean time, we're praying for no complications and no bowel obstructions and complete healing from the surgery at greenville. and this next surgery will perhaps be your biggest and most intense one so we're praying that all will go smooth with that. that it will be successful and your insides will be fixed for good and that you will recover quickly and easily.
so yes, we're terrified. and sick over the fact that maybe we should've gone to charleston to begin with. but honesty, we had no idea. we're trying to be thankful that you're recovering well from this surgery, that we seem to be in good hands now, and that we have dr gully to run interference in ways that me as your mommy just wouldn't have been able to do. let's talk about dr gully for just a minute. who could've gotten two surgeons on the phone that quickly and made things happen like that? she's really just wonderful. i don't know how else to describe how i feel about the fact that she is in our life. and i think she loves you like you were her own. i'm just so thankful. and no, she doesn't read this blog so i'm not looking for a raise here or anything=)
alright. onward we go. let's talk about christmas again. last night santa brought your surprises to gigi and grandaddy's house, since he knew that's where we were sleeping. so this morning we saw what he brought you and you opened presents from mommy and daddy. then we went to grandmother's house and had christmas over there. lots of fun seeing sweet family we don't get to see very often. tomorrow we will do christmas with both sets of grandparents and all of your aunts and uncles. so tomorrow is a big day! how fun=)
i love you angel. i am very sure i'm forgetting things, but i'll remember and tell you later.

Just wanted to say hello. Clara and I were next door to you all at the Children's hospital. It sounds like Catherine will have another surgery. We will keep her and all of you in our prayers. The night we left the hospital I had a complete meltdown, went to bed at 7:30 and only had to endure the worrying for a week with her...LOTS of prayers for you.

I hope you remember me, Cathy Brooks who was blessed to be at your delivery :) I have this site bookmarked on a computer that I rarely use. I smiled when I saw the listing under my favorites and eagerly came to read about all the happiness Catherine and all of you have had and it made me cry tears of joy because I remember all the uncertainty that night long ago.
I am sorry for the latest hospitalization but wanted to add that I worked and even managed the PICU at MUSC years ago. It was a fabulous place then and probably even more so now.
I am keeping all of you in my prayers for your journey ahead. Many blessings to all of you.

The Stan Conway Memorial Graduation Chase is the feature contest at Newbury today and the field is filled with plenty of talented sorts.
Paul Nicholls will be hoping that JUST A PAR can give him another winner and extend his lead at the top of the trainers' championship. The nine-year-old is plenty experienced and he will look to put that to good use at the Berkshire track. Just A Par contested in some high-class novice chases a few years ago, including the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival where he finished a respectable seventh.
The son of Island House has become renowned for his ability to outstay his rivals and was given a cracker of a ride by Sean Bowen to capture in the Bet365 Gold Cup on the final day of the jumps season at Sandown last year. After being in the wrath of the handicapper for the most part of last term, Just A Par again came alive at Sandown as he looked to defend his crown. The gelding still produced a sterling effort but finished a neck second to The Young Master that day. Just A Par makes his seasonal reappearance but he has four positives next to his name on BTO+ ratings. One of those is Bowen's record around today's distance, which is 38% better than expected.
The son of Dr Massini has been on a significant, upward curve for the last 12 months and still has the scope to improve. Three Faces West got the better of Just A Par in a handicap at Exeter last term but the former was receiving over a stone in weights. Phillip Hobbs' charge has had two starts this campaign already, the first of which came at Carlisle in October but Richard Johnson pulled up his mount. Something clearly wasn't right with Three Faces West that day and he bounced back at Haydock on his next start. Johnson rode the gelding with the utmost amount of confidence and victory never looked in doubt as the pair hacked up to register a 13 length victory. Three Faces West is the form horse coming into the race, but this is another step up for him. However, Johnson will retain the ride and the champion jockey has a 50% better than expected record on the chase course at Newbury.
CAMPING GROUND has been slightly frustrating. He arrived from France with a stellar reputation and has shown glimpses of his talent for Robert Walford. The gelding looked a top-class chaser in the making when winning at Warwick on his first start in Britain carrying top weight, and was regarded highly enough to run in the Peterborough Chase last season where he unseated. The son of Goldneyev was then highly tried over hurdles last term and was an impressive winner of the Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham on New Year's Day where he relished soft conditions and cruised to an 11 length win. Camping Ground then saw the back of Thistlecrack in the Cleeve Hurdle and then Annie Power on two occasions respectively and connections have sent the eight-year-old back chasing. Walford's charge met just Josses Hill at Kempton on his seasonal reappearance last month. Camping Ground was unable to lay a glove on his sole rival, but the form has worked out well, given that Josses Hill romped to victory in the Peterborough subsequently. If Camping Ground puts it all together at Newbury, he could be in the shake-up for home but he may need the ground softer.
Ben Pauling has been talking up the chances of DRUMACOO. He was a useful hurdler in Ireland having beat Roi De Frances in a novice event before joining Pauling. Dumacoo was purchased to be a chaser and he couldn't have been more impressive on his debut over fences. The son of Oscar faced both Fletchers Flyer and Value At Risk at Huntingdon just under a year ago and put them both to the sword. The seven-year-old was spring-heeled at his obstacles and took up the running four fences from home and was eased to victory by Nico de Boinville. Drumacoo was well fancied to clinch the Reynoldstown Novices' Chase at Ascot on his next start. He was a beaten favourite that day but, given he hasn't seen a racecourse since, due to injury, something wasn't right with him. That effort can be forgiven but Drumacoo is meeting race-fit rivals at Newbury, which makes his task even more difficult. He has the best BTO+ speed rating and Pauling has been in a rich vein of form and brags a 61% better than expected record in the last two weeks.

Video Name : Fucking Glasses - Fucking a clueless redhead
Description : I picked up this hot nubile redhead in a supermarket and by the way she looked at me I knew I'd get some for sure. Offering her to have some fun on the roof was quite a risk, but eventually I ended up fucking this slut right on a stairway, so my plan worked perfectly. She loved my big cock and I loved the way she sucked it and took it deep in her welcoming pussy. Yeah, and she still has no idea I got the whole thing captured on camera, lol!

Cool-Toned Makeup
My medium skin complexion has been the envy of my friends in the past. I'd be told that all colours under the rainbow suit my skin tone, though I've never believed that's actually true. Of course, I'm all for wearing whatever you want regardless, but whether it's makeup or clothing, there are definitely colours I feel uncomfortable and not myself in. My skin has yellow undertones, which means I tend to stay away from anything too warm-toned and colours I feel are going to clash against my skin tone rather than balance or complement it. Since I first got into wearing makeup all these years ago as a teen still shopping at the drugstore, I've always been drawn to the cooler shades and there's a very fine line between the warmer shades that flatter my skin tone and those that make it look sallow. In today's post, I've rummaged through my collection to pick out my favourite silvery taupes and cool brown eyeshadows, as well as my favourite neutral to blue-based cheek and lip products as a sort of guide into cool-toned makeup. Go grab yourself a cuppa because it's a long one!
When it comes to the eyes and cool-toned colours, this is where I have the most fun. I love silvery shimmery taupes and greys for dreamy, sultry eyes, and muted browns for creating soft, smokey grunge looks. When the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette was first released, I kept telling myself I didn't need it, but of course I ended up changing my mind, and after a trip to a Sephora store in Singapore last year, it finally made its way into my collection. Funnily enough, it was the release of Naked 3 and seeing swatches all over blogs comparing all three palettes that changed my mind. The first palette is neutral to warm, which I find still works for my skin tone, though Naked 3 is way too warm-toned and I know those pink hues will just clash! While I wouldn't describe Naked 2 as completely cool-toned, it's got some beautiful greyish/taupe-y shades. Urban Decay eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented, blend out beautifully, and some of my favourite shades within the palette include Bootycall, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve and Busted.
MAC eyeshadows are a cult favourite within the beauty community and I'm sure that when I simply mention the names, "Satin Taupe" and "Patina", you know instantly what I'm talking about. Two of the most well-known MAC eyeshadows, they lean towards the cooler side of the spectrum - Satin Taupe being described as a "taupe with silver shimmer" and Patina as a "taupe brown with golden pearl". I'm not as in love with Patina as most people seem to be, but when smoked out with other cool-toned browns such as Charcoal Brown, Brun and Smut, it looks beautiful. Brun is also what I use to fill in my eyebrows and is one of my favourites as it's just so versatile. The last MAC eyeshadow I have to talk about is Club, which is a bit of a funny one. Described as a "red-brown with green pearl", it has the tendency to look warm-toned, but when the light catches the green pearl, it looks cool. As a duochrome shade, I love how it looks so complex and dreamy on the eyes, and is another great one for a smouldering smokey eye look.
Like everyone else here, I, too, have fallen head over heels for Charlotte Tilbury. Earlier in the year, I picked up her Luxury Palette in The Rock Chick (you can see me wearing it here), which is your one-step palette into achieving the undone, effortless smokey eye. If you couldn't tell already, I am all about smokey eyes. Inspired by the likes of Bridgette Bardot, Debbie Harry and Kate Moss, the colours in the palette are very grey and taupe and while the formula of the eyeshadows don't live up to those of Urban Decay and MAC, it all still feels very luxurious. I want to give the Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadows a go next!
A couple of cool-toned single eyeshadows I own are Make Up Store's Microshadow in Monty and the Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Mushroom. They're more or less the same shimmery taupe shade, though Monty has purple undertones and Mushroom has more grey. I tend to forget about my single eyeshadows, but now looking at them, I'll definitely be remembering to use these more often because they're just so beautiful!
Last, but certainly not least is the By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon. There is one word and one word only to describe this shade: DREAMY. Everybody seems to rave on about Misty Rock, but Bronze Moon is where it's at, people. I'm not even interested in any of the other shades because I am just so in love with this colour. Being called Bronze Moon, you'd think it'd be more of a warmer-toned shade, but the silver shimmer in it makes it more cool. The best cream eyeshadow formula I've ever tried, these are absolutely worth the hype and you 100% need it in your life.
Muted pops of pink is how I like my cheeks all year round. These pinks are more neutral and nude than cool, but I don't really own any cool-toned blushes! In the spring and summer, I'll bring back the peaches and corals that also complement my skin tone (they warm up my skin in a flattering way), but for the most part, this is what you'll see me wearing on my cheeks most frequently as they go with every lip and every eye look. MAC's Powder Blush in Cubic was one of the very first high end blushes I ever owned and all these years later, I probably own way too many soft, muted pink blushes than one person ever needs, but they're all slightly different from each other and I use them all, so I believe that's justifiable! Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Exposed is more pink than Cubic, which leans towards the more neutral side. Then there's Well Dressed, which is a definite cool-toned blue-based pink and one I remember being a blogger favourite back in the day. A soft, sheeny and subtle flush of pink to the cheeks, I tend not to wear this blush all too often these days, but I think I'll definitely be bringing this out again soon as we transition into spring.
When it comes to getting the glow and keeping it cool, MAC's Mineralise Skinfinish in Lightscapade is my go-to. A soft sweep of this across the face and you're instantly looking lit from within without the warmth, which at times, can look out of place. The BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Pearl gives the same effect and if you're after a natural radiance, Pearl is your shade. I use this as a highlighter, but for the majority of the time, it's used to mix in with my foundation for an all-over neutral-to-cool gleam.
The same rules apply to my lips as they do to my cheeks. Blue-based lip colours are the most flattering on my skin tone when I'm not wearing neutral or peachy/coral shades, and I tend to steer clear of anything too Barbie pink or fuchsia, which have the tendency to make yellow-toned skin look sallow. The pink lip products I wear are usually muted mauves like MAC's Lipstick in Faux, though there's one exception I do have in my collection, which comes in the form of Snob. It's a pretty out there colour - at least for me, anyway - but paired with the right makeup, I can pull it off. When wearing Snob, I like to go for a cool-toned smokey eye to balance out the brightness of the lipstick. I think this is a shade to suit girls with fairer skin tones than I too. MAC's Lip Pencil in Subculture is a my-lips-but-better shade with cool brown undertones and makes an excellent base to pair underneath any of my pink lipsticks. If it weren't already obvious, MAC lip products are by far my favourite as there's such a wide variety of shades to suit all skin complexions.
Still raving on about MAC, my love for their Lipstick in Ruby Woo is well-documented on my blog as it's my favourite red lip product ever. Naturally, when the the Lip Pencil of the same name was released earlier in the year, I immediately had to buy it to pair the two together. To me, Ruby Woo is the classic 1950s retro red and I can't help but feel oh-so-glamorous and very Mad Men when wearing it. MAC describes it as a "very matte vivid blue-red", which is definitely accurate, and although it's their most drying matte I've ever come across, that's all cancelled out by my complete adoration for this colour. There is just nothing else like it out there.
Another blue-based red that's probably my second favourite after Ruby Woo is NARS' Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella. It's slightly darker than Ruby Woo and the formula of these lip pencils are, like the name suggests, velvety smooth and non-drying whatsoever. I can definitely see why these were all the rage not too long ago.
And just for reference, in my profile picture, I'm wearing By Terry's Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon all over the lid with MAC's Eyeshadow in Brun in the out corner on my eyes, and Cruella on my lips.
Are you a fan of cool-toned makeup?

What is it? The Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) is the Army's military housing privatization program. RCI is a primary component of the Army's plan to eliminate inadequate military family housing using a combination of:
- Traditional Military Construction,
- Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) increases, and
- Privatization.
In 1996, Congress provided the military Services with the authorities to obtain private sector capital and expertise to construct, improve, and sustain military housing in the U.S. The RCI program leverages appropriated funds and on-post housing assets to obtain private capital and expertise to build, renovate, operate, and maintain adequate family housing for the long term. The program conveys existing units, and leases the underlying ground, for a 50-year term, to a qualified development partner. The partner collects rent from tenants (military families), equal to the Soldier's basic allowance for housing. The Army may make an equity contribution when necessary to ensure adequate funds for the required scope of work. The RCI program currently plans to include 42 locations with 82,000 homes, more than 90 percent of on-post family housing in the United States.
What has the Army done? During 2005, the Army privatized family housing at nine installations, with about 18,500 homes, for a total of 26 privatized installations, with a projected end state inventory of almost 60,000 homes. These 26 projects will complete $7.8 billion in work during the initial development period, of which the Army has contributed $421 million (an 18:1 leverage ratio).

Favorite Picture of the Week
This is long the path where I usually walk Falcor and he doesn't usually walk up there because it's a couple of feet above where the side walk is. But he ran right up there this day and sniffed around.
He found a flat rock and just stood there like he wanted me to take his picture so I did.
And then he went back to sniffing along the sound wall and the fence.

Broken Streak
After four consecutive winless seasons, the Raider varsity football team has finally ended their streak of 38 straight losses with a thrilling victory against Logansport on Saturday.
The Raiders triumphed over the Berries 40-14 Saturday afternoon after being delayed by a fierce storm Friday night.
After the traumatic loss to Western Boone the previous week, Coach Peebles knew he had to make some changes to better prepare the team for Logansport.
"We spent a lot less time on football and a lot more time on how we act on and off the field."
On the night of the storm, Peebles simply told his players to go home and get some sleep so they could come out fresh the next morning and finish what they had been waiting four years to do.
For the seniors on this talented squad, it was their first varsity win.
Senior Jeep Morehouse was very excited going into the game on Friday.
"Right before we step on the field I just lose my mind and it's all football. I don't think about anything else."
Morehouse would finish the game with eight tackles.
Seniors Cameron Green and Daniel Wright combined for a total of 25 touches and 269 yards with three touchdowns while Tanner Watkins ended with an interception and a completed pass for a two-point-conversion.
Junior quarterback, J.Dan Sturgeon finished with two passing touchdowns and one on the ground.
This Friday, the Raiders will face off with rival Lafayette Jeff, aiming to spoil their homecoming week.
Be sure to come pack the stands at Scheumann Stadium and show your support as the Raiders attempt to turn the page and begin a bright new chapter for Harrison football.

ICH Buys Most Of Integrated Resources, Owner Of Lear Jet
NEW YORK (AP) _ I.C.H. Corp. will spend $176 million to buy about 55 percent of Integrated Resources Inc., a financial services company that owns Learjet Corp., under an agreement announced Wednesday.
I.C.H., of Louisville, Ky., is an insurance holding company with $9 billion in assets. New York-based Integrated Resources is a diversified financial services company whose businesses include insurance.
Under the deal, I.C.H. will buy 7.5 million shares in Integrated Resources that are authorized but unissued, at a price of $21 a share.
I.C.H. also will buy 900,000 shares owned by three brothers of the Zises family who run Integrated Resources: Selig, Jay and Seymour. That price will also be $21 a share.
None of the Integrated Resources stock held by general shareholders is being bought. Integrated Resources stock fell $1 to $13.50 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, while I.C.H. fell 37 1/2 cents to $4.50 a share on the American Stock Exchange.
Integrated Resources bought Learjet last year, acquiring a 65 percent stake from Gates Corp. for $57 million and obtaining the rest of the Tucson, Ariz.- based maker of business jets through a tender offer.
Integrated Resources specializes in buying companies and then syndicating them as private limited partnerships. Pieces of the partnerships are sold to wealthy individuals and institutions in minimum amounts of $50,000 to $100,000.
Integrated Resources usually serves as the general partner in the limited partnerships. After a few years the companies often are sold again or taken public. Among other companies it has bought are Viewmaster and Steve's Ice Cream.
Selig Zises is board chairman and chief executive of Integrated Resources; Jay Zises is chairman of the executive committee; and Seymour Zises is a managing executive with Integrated's broker-dealer subsidiary.
The closing of the transaction is subject to a definitive agreement and certain regulatory approvals.

If you were to change your cable/broadband provider tomorrow, how many options do you have? can you save money by doing so? not many other options, right? and most other options have similar cost, is that right? the answers to these questions are the same almost regardless of where you are based. It suggests that the cable business probably enjoys one hell of a competitive advantage.
Some people might have thought the previous post was a nice piece of history of little relevance for today's investing landscape. However, John Malone — active as he has ever been — concocts another interesting deal in his flagship, Liberty Media. Similarly to the 1991 deal, this deal is about transferring Malone's North American cable assets into a newly created company that will pursue opportunities in the cable and broadband markets. The deal, is fairly convoluted and it involves creation of new class of shares for Liberty Media, spinning off the cable assets into a new entity called Liberty Broadband and issuing right to purchase Liberty Broadband's share at a discounted price. Confused? that's exactly the purpose. Before we jump into that, let's first take a 30,000-foot view of the media business landscape.
I referred to Bruce Greenwald's book in my post about competitive advantage and now its time to take a look at one chart from the book:
Remember: competitive advantage is all about barriers to entry. Take a minute to try and figure out this chart, it is not that complicated. Content refers to creative data production, packaging is the aggregation, marketing and distribution of the content. An example for a packaging business in the media-business context is a cable channel. Finally, retail refers to the delivery to the final customer and this is where cable systems fall. The competitive advantage increases as you move from left to right on the X axis. Then there is a distinction between various types under each vertical. Before we return to the Liberty Media deal and without getting into details, the way I see it, cable systems business falls under the "Retail" vertical and then under "Mixed", means it has some national but also some local characteristics and as such, it enjoys a strong competitive advantage. This was the long answer to the question I presented in the opening paragraph.
So Liberty is about to spinoff it's cable assets and then give the new owners an option (but not an obligation) to increase their stake at a discount. Should one participate?
Liberty Media is currently traded at a slight discount to its various holdings. This discount is typical for holding companies but it widened after Malone had tried to swallow SiriusXM (this deal eventually fell apart but the discount persisted). As such, given that one feels good about the underlying assets' price (you should check this for yourself!), there is not much downside and not much optimism embedded in Liberty Media's stock price. Liberty's main asset is it's holding of SiriusXM, the satellite radio company. John Malone wanted to buy the whole company for a price similar to what it is traded today and that implies that he believes that Sirius is undervalued. Liberty, under the command of Malone's first lieutenant, Gregory Maffei, constantly buys back it's own shares, which also gives an indication of what Malone, one of the best capital allocators of all times, thinks about Liberty's current valuation.
While the upside in that spinoff is not that obvious, one thing that is obvious is that there are many opportunities in the North American cable business. Comcast buys Time Warner Cable and the combined company will have to shed some subscribers to avoid an anti-trust issue, Charter, in which Malone owns a stake, will get some of the new subscribers and will see an opportunity to increase its value. Also, as one of the least efficient cable operators and with a new CEO on board (Tom Rutledge, who was Cablevision's COO), Charter can create significant value by closing the performance gap versus it's publicly traded peers. The new CEO of Charter, is considered to be one of the best cable operators out there so it's easy to see why John Malone is excited about Liberty Broadband's future. To sum up the reasons why I think there is a high likelihood for value creation here:
- The downside risk seems to be protected as Liberty is currently traded below its net asset value
- The economics of the businesses involved here are good as they enjoy significant competitive advantage
- The people involved: Malone, with a 40-year value creation track record and Rutledge with a proved cable operating capabilities at Cablevision
- From my value investing experience, investing in companies that are ran by exceptionally capable managers (and not overpaying for that pleasure) has never failed to make me happy
Take a look at the smile on Malone's face on this video (1h33m;40s) when he says the following:
"And someday we may be a major shareholder of Comcast. We are partners with Comcast on other businesses and eventually I think we will become equity in Comcast. It's a better business domestically than anywhere else in the world…"
At the time I write this, the value of one share of Liberty Media (LMCA) is $130.88. We shall revisit this sometime next year (I've set myself a reminder for Sep 2015) after the deal is settled and the new company issues a few quarterly reports and check if Malone still got the magic, assuming that one participates in the rights offering and exercises the right to buy Liberty Broadband's shares at a discount. Any guesses?
As a side note, Buffett's two hired guns, Ted and Todd have established a position in Liberty Global in the last quarter. They also hold Liberty Media (although less than they used to) and they hold a significant position in DTV (another Malone spinoff), that is about to be bought out by AT&T. No doubt, I'm not the only John Malone fan out there.

Okay, so there's no one on our staff named Lucy. But doesn't it bring back fun childhood memories? But for reals, we're starting up a formal Q&A. We found ourselves answering so many of the same questions with our clients and candidates on the regular, we decided it might be helpful to provide the answers in a more public format. Don't worry we won't publish your name (or where you work, yikes!) but we will provide a thoughtful and specific answer to any question you might have. Chances are, if ye has pondered, someone else has too.
Commitment to transparency. I personally have felt that a sense of mystery around recruitment has developed. As if we have some sort of secretive code by which we operate that no one really understands. In an effort to bring total transparency to our craft, there are no off-limits topics.
And it's free. Please, no nickels, nickels, nickels.

Let $G$ be a compact group and let $f_{ij}\in L_2(G)$ be bandlimited functions. We define the Non-Unique Games (NUG) problem as finding $g_1\ldots,g_n\in G$ to minimize $\sum_{i,j=1}^n f_{ij}(g_i g_j^{-1})$. We devise a relaxation of the NUG problem to a semidefinite program (SDP) by taking the Fourier transform of $f_{ij}$ over $G$, which can then be solved efficiently. The NUG framework can be seen as a generalization of the little Grothendieck problem over the orthogonal group and the Unique Games problem and includes many practically relevant problems, such as the maximum likelihood estimator to registering bandlimited functions over the unit sphere in $d$-dimensions and orientation estimation in cryo-electron microscopy.
