Lol love these illustrations.
And yeah, I can identify with this series of feelings. (And I'm not even an NYT bestselling author. :P)
The problem with the internet is how easy it makes it to compare our lives and selves to others. But the internet doesn't show us the whole picture -- it usually just shows us the best (or worst) parts.
As you said, we all have to (a) be more than the parts of ourselves that we show on these screens, and (b) remember that everyone else is too.

Actually, you made me a little teary-eyed with the beauty by the end there. And I'm not even a unicorn person.

If you ever decide to say goodbye to writing full time, might I suggest a career in Paint? Your unicorn is marvelous. Plus, I think you'd be the first person to ever have a Paint career. :)
Great post!

And not just the published part. I write something funny that makes my sister laugh and I say, "I know! It only took me three weeks to come up with that joke." Bleh. Congrats on all your exciting news. Wishing you even more good news in the near future. :)

I deal with this on a much smaller scale than you because my market is much smaller and I sometimes think that for me personally and my obsessive tendencies, publication in the national market would be the worst idea ever.
Also, someone may have already addressed this, but is that the stinky unicorn from Paranormalcy.

Introductionmalaria, infectious parasitic disease that can be either acute or chronic and is frequently recurrent. Malaria is common in Africa, Central and South America, the Mediterranean countries, Asia, and many of the Pacific islands. In the United States it was found in the South and less frequently in the northern and western parts of the country.
The primary causative organism, Plasmodium falciparum, requires both the Anopheles mosquito and humans to complete its life cycle: sexual reproduction of the protozoan occurs in the mosquito; an immature form is then transmitted to the human via the bite of the mosquito. In a person the parasite goes to the liver, replicates, and moves into the bloodstream, where it attacks red blood cells for their hemoglobin. Some of the plasmodia become sexually mature and are transmitted back to another biting mosquito. Four other Plasmodium species also infect humans, one of which can be transmitted from monkeys to humans via mosquitoes.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Philippine ambassador says one of the men critically burned in an offshore oil platform fire has died in Louisiana.
The ambassador, Jose L. Cuisia Jr., says in a news release that 49-year-old Avelino Tajonera died Friday, shortly after his wife and three children arrived from Manila.
Three other men remain hospitalized. The ambassador says their families are in Baton Rouge.
The explosion and fire Nov. 16 also killed 42-year-old Ellroy Corporal, whose body was found in the waters nearby. The search for another man, 28-year-old Jerome Malagapo, was called off.
The embassy quotes Consul General Herrera-Lim as saying three Filipino workers who survived the fire are back in Manila after giving statements to federal authorities investigating the fire.

FIVB holds Olympic drawKLAGENFURT (July 19, 2012) – Canada's Olympic pairs in beach volleyball found out who their round robin opponents will be at the Games tournament in London as the FIVB held the draw here on Thursday evening.
In men's competition, Josh Binstock of Toronto and Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., are in pool F with John-Garcia Thompson and Steven Grotowski of Britain, Pedro Cunha and Ricardo Santos of Brazil and Tarjei Skarlund and Martin Spinnangr of Norway.
Ricardo and Cunha are currently ranked third on the World Tour circuit this season with four medal performances including two wins. The Norwegians are tied for 20th with two top-10 performances and Binstock and Reader stand at 41st on the circuit and posted a ninth place finish earlier this past spring at the Polish stop. The British are ranked 51st.
On the women's side, Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., and Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., are in Pool F as well with Zara Dampney and Shauna Mullin of Britain, Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti of Italy and Ekaterina Khomyakova and Evgenia Ukolova of Russia.
Cicolari and Menegatti are the top-seed in the group at number-five on the World Tour this season and with three medals on the circuit. The Russians are ranked 30th, the British pair 46th and Martin and Lessard 52nd.
The 24 pairs in both the men's and women's competition are split equally into six pools, playing each team in their group, with the top two advancing to the knockout first round stage along with the two best third-placed teams.
The remaining four third-place teams will then compete in playoff matches to determine which pairs will fill the final two places in the first round.
The beach volleyball tournament gets underway on Saturday July 28.
Update on World Tour
The draw was held in Klagenfurt as it is the current stop on the FIVB World Tour circuit. In action Thursday, Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney completed their round robin with an 18-21, 24-22, 15-9 victory over Tanja Goricanec and Muriel Graessli of Switzerland to finish second in their pool.
In their first playoff match later Thursday, the Canadian pair lost to Louise Bawden and Becchara Palmer of Australia 21-17, 18-21, 15-9 and do not advance.
Men's main draw action got underway and Christian Redmann of Toronto and Ben Saxton of Calgary lost their first two matches and are in a must-win situation Friday in order to advance to the playoff round.
The top team in each of the eight pools advances directly to the round of 16 while second and third play off for the other eight available spots in a one-match elimination.

Cute, But Run Short!
"These ran short for me. I wear an 8.5-9. I ordered these shoes and two other pairs by the same designer in size 9. However, I ended up exchanging these for a size 10 -- the only 10 in my closet! But I love the fit and the heel is a perfect, comfortable height."

Skip to comments.MSNBC's Touré: Romney Using 'Niggerization' Against Obama
Posted on 08/16/2012 4:57:51 PM PDT by chessplayer
MSNBC's Touré Neblett just can't resist tossing out the race card whenever possible.
On Thursday's The Cycle, Touré accused presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney of using what he called "niggerization" against Barack Obama (video follows with transcript and commentary):
KRYSTAL BALL, CO-HOST: So in addition to Romneys whiteboard Medicare antics, he's also out with a new attack line on the President that he's been reiterating. Let's take a listen.
MITT ROMNEY: His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency. This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.
BALL: Woo. Take it back to Chicago. That anger and hate. So when I listen to that, to me, the words seemed sort of loaded, but I wanted to get you all's thoughts. Touré, what did you think about that?
TOURE NEBLETT: Yeah, that really bothered me. You notice he says anger twice. He's really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama. The otherization, he's not like us. I know it's a heavy thing to say. I don't say it lightly. But this is niggerization. You are not one of us, and that you are like the scary black man who we've been trained to fear.
And the idea of locating anger around Barack Obama just doesn't fit with who he is and who he has trained himself to be, going back to high school, training himself to be no drama Obama.
BALL: So who are they talking to then, here?
NEBLETT: But they're talking to people who are trained to hate him, who want to hate him. It's a base turnout election, so this is how we can rev up the base to, to work against him.
MSNBC is a domestic terrorist organization.
To moron progressives, every criticism is racist.
...a bag of marshmallows would seem loaded to this race baiter
I expected this sooner. This is to counter Biden's mis-speak. Look to see and hear more—you will see photo shopped ads with Mitt in a KKK robe soon.
You were close.
What's this little fag talkin' about? It was Barry's boy, Rimshot Joe Biden who scared the bejeezus out of the blacks by telling them that Romney was going to put "y'all" BACK in chains.
sounds like the msnbc folks are off their meds again
Desperation, plain and simple. Obama and his socialist lackeys don't have a leg to stand on. Everything they've touched over the last 4 years has turned to crap. Mittens & Co. need to take the gloves off and start pounding these socialist !@#'s and not let up on them. Conservatives could care less what the left thinks of us, so stop kow-towing to the left, and start hitting them back.
———Niggerization' ———
Well, lets see where that might go. Are Eric Holder and Van Jones part of the process or the result? Is Hillary, the wife of the first black president, secretary of state, the result as well?
If the sobriquet fits . . . .
Are white people allowed to say "niggerization"?
The Gentleman ( I use that term loosely ) is a one note song the race card is literally all that he has . As far as his insights into politics the gentleman is about as bright as 40 watt bulb in a power failure.
Oh, my, can we use words like "niggerization" in public? Because if we can, is it OK to suggests that's what Obama is trying to do to America?
I'm sticking to "quark gluon plasma".
Next time he should call Obama gay instead of angry.
Sounds like you're part of his master plan, too.
Every word is dog whistle code-speak.
Did you notice the black guy who used the "n" word, how brown his eyes are? Do you realize what that indicates?
It works like the sight tube on the old coffee urns used to, to show the level of coffee left in the urn.
He's so full if $h!t his eyes are brown!
Oh good grief!! Mitt Romney's comments had absolutely NOTHING to do with race! His comments were about the politics of THUGGERY out of Chicago, and last time I looked, the folks in charge are both black AND white!
MSNBC is the group fixated on race, NOT the GOP.
"Oh, my, can we use words like niggerization in public? Because if we can, is it OK to suggests thats what Obama is trying to do to America?"
I have heard that phrase many times this past year as to what Obama and the dimoKKKRATS are doint to America.
Toure serves his own head on a toure.
I was wondering that myself. We need to ask an expert. Touré? Are you on FR tonight? If so, could you give us an opinion?
So the "puttin' y'all in chains" should be well known to the number one credit card and short term loan business racket bank's MOUTHPIECE. He oughta know just "how to talk to those po' folks". What a stupid ass weasel, and dumb as a post credit hustler. In short he's the "policy man" that comes in the black neighborhoods for the monthly payment. Thas how it works on the gubmint plantation-- know y'alls place heah?
Really Touré?
According to Mr. Bammy the Prezzy, The choom-choom-in-Chief, Mitt Romney did not build that "niggerization." "Somebody else made that happen."
I could not agree more Touré.
It has been clear for years that little bammy hussein has been "niggerizing" America with hate training.
Not Mitt Romney. .
Another one of these threads got zotted for 'racism'.
Obama and chums sure seem bent upon steeping America in the worst of "Afro American" culture. The stuff that too many actual black people nod and wink at as n-word stuff even while they would be aghast if any non black person called them that.
Choomery would be above the level of what Obama is doing to the USA.
To be clear from my standpoint I could easily vote for a Conservative black man such as Herman Cain or Allen West as expamples.
Now that I have stopped laughing over the name of this moron, Krystal Ball (was this her stripper name?), this idiot Torre is a race baiting tool used by MSNBC to throw the race card and push the limits of what can be said by a liberal on television before Sharpton has a cow over the possibility that honky is learning a new phrase to be used against blacks.
Robert "Sheets" Byrd is roasting in Hell right now or else we could ask him. He got a pass when he used the word "niggardly" on Meet the Press a few years back. The NAACP nor the CBC said a word except that he was GREAT since he was no longer an active KKK recruiter.
I wish someone would send me a list of the current code words.
I'm so hopelessly behind that I didn't know calling someone a "Monday" was racist.....much less "angry, angry".
Tim Scott of South Carlina won his '12 seat by overwhelming numbers. And we love the guy. I don't think he is being challenged by a Dem this election or else they know not to waste their $$ on TV ads. He is very popular with the Tea Party and he walks the walk.
So... Since it seems Mitt isn't actually racist, and doesn't oblige them by saying anything even remotely racist... They'll just make up whatever wild stretch of the imagination it takes to introduce race? Introducing race as an issue where it has no bearing... Hmm, seems to me that's a pretty fair definition of racism right there. Hey lefty lurkers, if you support this kind of {expletive} and you want to find racism, try looking in the mirror.
Not a chance.
This is racist on soooooooo many levels I don't quite know where to start, OK?
First: quark. This is a non-word, so we know you're trying to sneak in some "code language." It was originally coined by an Irishman. The Irish are all white. So that's racist. Scarlett O'Hara? Irish. So that's racist. Then there's this: http://www.irishcentral.com/news/First-Lady-Michelle-Obamas-Irish-slave-owner-roots-are-revealed-159341955.html Now you're directly attacking the first lady, so, that's racist.
Then there's the fact that this combination of words comes up in a story about CERN setting the highest temperature ever. CERN is in Europe. Europe is where the white oppressors come from. So, more racism. Buncha pasty white boys claiming they're responsible for the longest hottest summer event ever? Sheeeeeiiiiit. Clearly racist. It's been speculated that the LHC at CERN's energies might create mini "black holes." You do not want to go there. Jes sayin'.
Now physics. Seriously? Anything involving physics, math, chemistry or even the least bit science-y was probably invented by the Egyptians, who were Black (WITH A CAPITAL B) according to Al Sharpton. So, yet more racism from you, and worse yet, you stole it all, too. So: Racism. Also, in this day and age, doing science, or engineering, or computer programming or going to museums, reading books not written by or about Barack 0bama is "acting white." So your racism just don't stop, yo.
Code words. You get the right dog whistle, ain' noweherez they kin hide.
Heh. You are right, though. There is nowhere to hide.
Toure is a real piece of work. The lefties are playing with fire giving this racist ass a platform.
Really ..????
It was Obama who was on the air talking about "soul food" - I don't recall Romney mentioning that ..??
These whacko libs are just in panic mode and the race card is just so convenient.
Obama is whiter than Bill Clinton - so he needs an awful lot of it. :)
Speaking of whiter, Niel Cavuto has a black girl on who isn't black at all, or even near black. She has a web site blakchicks.com I think.
She said yesterday there were polls showing black voters for Obama had dwindled to 80%, down from 95%.
Touré should know...
The race card has worked perfectly for them in the past.
They are really flabbergasted that we won't just shut up any more at the mere insinuation of racism.
Of course not. Say it at work and you will be out the door within the minute.
Twitter was hilarious yesterday with #ThingsToureThinksAreRacist. I suggested: Ritz Crackers, Graham Crackers, Saltine Crackers, white crackers.

When I was frozen,giant carrots ruled the Earth.
But now they don't.
It takes some getting used to.
Back in the 1980s, I wasthe toast of Wall Street.
I was having whiskey with Boeskyand cookies with Milken.
But then, I was diagnosedwith terminal bone-itis.
Pfft! That's a funny namefor a horrible disease.
There was no cure at the time.
One drug company was close
but I arrangeda hostile takeover
and sold off all the assets.

Naturally, I froze myselfuntil a cure was found.
And now here I am

Delaware's courts and well-developed case law are widely seen as integral elements of Delaware's success in attracting incorporations. However, as we show using empirical evidence involving reported judicial decisions and filed cases concerning large mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and options backdating, Delaware's popularity as a venue for corporate litigation has dropped sharply. Today, a majority of shareholder suits involving Delaware companies are being brought and decided elsewhere. We examine in this Article the implications of this "out-of-Delaware" trend, emphasizing a difficult balancing act that Delaware faces. If Delaware accommodates litigation too readily, companies, fearful of lawsuits, may incorporate elsewhere. But if plaintiffs' attorneys find the Delaware courts unwelcoming, they can often file cases in other courts. Delaware could risk losing its status as the de facto national corporate law court, as well as the case flow that lets it provide the rich body of precedent that is part of Delaware's overall corporate law "brand." We assess how the Delaware courts and legislature, and Delaware companies, might respond to this threat to Delaware's pre-eminence as the leading forum for corporate cases, as well as incorporations.

PONTOTOC – Pontotoc officials and civic leaders hope to have a new pavilion ready for community events and a farmers market sometime this spring.
Dirt work has begun already, and construction bids will be opened in the next few days.
The facility, as designed, will accommodate fruit and vegetable growers, craft vendors and a variety of community events. Construction on the 80-foot-by-80-foot, L-shaped structure is aimed at a 60-day schedule, with opening planned for mid-spring.
"We want to have it open in time for the Amish corn," Pontotoc Mayor Jeff Stafford said.
Local growers are already expressing enthusiasm over the prospect of a covered farmers' market, he said, adding that the availability of shade will likely add to the variety of produce available.
"Even the Amish are excited about it," he said, referring to a community of Old Order Mennonites known for reserved demeanors. "You have to really work to get the Amish excited."
The structure will be built on the southwest corner of Lafayette and Jefferson Streets, one block northwest of the downtown Square.
"Mike and Rene Simon, who own the Sunflower shopping center, donated this land," said Ellen Russell, director of Pontotoc's Main Street program.

Deke: Tigers take care of business in win over Cougars
by Deke Bellavia
posted May 31 2014 10:05PM
Two down and one to go for the LSU Tigers baseball team! LSU squared off against the Houston Cougars in the fourth game of the Baton Rouge Regional, and both teams were coming off wins, setting up a show down in the winner's bracket. The Tigers handled their business with a 5-1 win over the Cougars. The Tigers now just need to win one more game to advance and host next weekend's Super Regional in Baton Rouge.
Ace Aaron Nola started the game for the Tigers on the mound. Nola is as close to a sure thing that there ever has been in LSU baseball history. For a program that has won six national titles, not many have been as dominant and near perfect. In his seven plus inning pitched the Tigers Ace allowed one run on four hits and he struck out seven Cougars before leaving the mound to the roar of a standing ovation at Alex Box Stadium. Zac Person came in to take over for Nola.
After going up and down in order in the first inning, LSU's Conner Hale hit a single up the middle for an RBI, as McMullen came home to give the Tigers an early 1-0 lead over the Cougars.
The Cougars would tie the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the inning, and looked as if they were going to do more damage. The Cougars had bases loaded, but Tigers shortstop Alex Bregman made a nice catch to end the threat, leaving the scored tied at 1-1.
The Tigers then came up to bat in the third with the top of the LSU order coming to the plate. LSU would get off to a good start in the inning, as Mark Laird drew a walk to give the Tigers a man on base.
Alex Bregman did his job advancing Laird on a deep fly ball, and then Jake Fraley hit a single to advance Laird to third base, followed by another Single from Sean McMullen to score Laird and the Tigers took a 2-1 lead.
The Tigers would add to their lead when Connor Hale drove in Sean McMullen on a single, as LSU increased their lead to 3-1 in the top of the third inning. Tigers pitcher Aaron Nola got into a nice groove as he retired seven straight Cougars during the Tigers hot stretch in which LSU built a lead.
49 of Nola's first 72 pitches were strikes. With LSU leading 3-1, Aaron Nola would get into a groove that not many pitchers can ever find. Nola entered a stretch in which he retired 13 of 14 batters to help protect the Tigers' two run lead.
With the "Nola" factor in full effect, the Tigers threatened to blow the game wide open in the seventh inning. Christian Ibarra would single, followed by a walk by Kramer Robertson, giving LSU runners on first and second.
The Tigers started to roll! Mark Laird would step to the plate and hit a single for LSU as Ibarra scored putting the Tigers up 4-1. Then Alex Bregman would single scoring Kramer Robertson and LSU increased their lead to 5-1 with just one out in the top half of the seventh inning.
Aaron Nola would then continue another masterful performance as the nation's best pitcher, shutting down Cougar after Cougar. In five of the first seven innings Nola pitched, he would sit down each Cougar in order 1-2-3.
Seeing things get out of hand, the Cougars went to their bullpen to make a pitching change. Matt Locus would come in the game to pitch for Houston. Locus had the task of trying to work Houston out of a jam with his club down 5-1 and the Tigers fans roaring loud and proud in front of an overflow crowd at Alex Box Stadium.
The Tigers would maintain their four-run lead and go on to beat Houston 5-1. Joe Broussard closed the game in relief for the Tigers. The Tigers had 12 hits in their win over the Cougars. LSU picked up their 46th win of the season and will now face the winner of the Houston versus Southeastern Game tomorrow night at 7PM right here on WWL Radio.

One of the most divisive issues of the mayoral race in Holyoke was casino development. Incumbent mayor Elaine Pluta was in favor of bringing a casino to town, but the winner — new mayor-elect, Alex Morse — says he's opposed. New England Public Radio's Anne Mostue reports on what that might mean for the future.
If pending legislation is passed and a casino is permitted in Western Mass, developers in three municipalities – Holyoke, Palmer and Springfield – are preparing to compete for a license. Earlier this month, the Hard Rock company – which has restaurants, hotels and casinos around the world, announced it will join with Paper City Development to develop and manage a casino resort on the 100-acre Wyckoff Country Club off Interstate 91 in Holyoke. Tony Cignoli, a partner with Paper City Development, says that even though Alex Morse is opposed to a casino, he's indicated willingness to speak with the developers.
"Hard Rock has not really rolled out what their plans are but we hope to be able to present those to the mayor-elect and see what he might think of them."
Morse could not be immediately reached for comment but during his campaign he said he was more interested in job creation from a high-tech computing center and the emerging artist's community downtown.
"I am opposed to a casino in the city of Holyoke, I think it's bad economic policy. I've been meeting with business owners big and small throughout the past several months and what I hear time and time again is that casinos will hurt local business. It will draw money out of the local economy and put it in the hands of a few folks in charge of a casino."
Ultimately, it will be up to the residents of Holyoke. Western New England University political science professor Timothy Vercellotti says the "Not in my backyard" sentiment may have brought many Holyoke voters to the polls on Election Day, but if the issue becomes a referendum, then a campaign could change some minds.

B-E-A-utiful shoe!
"I found this shoe on clearance and purchased it for a ridiculously low price. I would have paid full price for it anyway but on to the shoe....First off its an extremely comfortable bootie for being as high as it is. The heel and platform really balance the height well. The suede material is very nice as well... doesnt seem cheap or an area of concern. I would say that for me, the shoe ran just a tad bit long, but probably not enough to buy a half size smaller. I am just an extremely thorough reviewer and like to mention each aspect. There is no rubbing on the heel, the cut outs on the side are such a great accentuation of the foot, and lastly the shoes have good tread at the bottom. I highly recommend."

Cute and comfy!
"I got these shoes and had to wear them out the same night. I fell inlove with these shoes as soon as I opened the box. Based on previous reviews, I ordered a half size up (I ususally wear an 8 in Steve Madden/Madden Girl and I got and 8.5) and it fit great with a little extra room but not too much. These beauties are so comfy! I was standing on and off all night and they did not hurt at all. A definite must buy."

FERRON - Loran Kline Behling, age 52, passed away Dec. 17, 2011 at Castleview Hospital in Price, Utah. He was born June 7, 1959 in Price to Clyde and Grace Beach Behling. He married Lisa Thomas in the Provo LDS Temple on July 17, 1982.
Loran was raised in Ferron, Utah. He attended Emery High School and graduated from Utah Technical College in Electrical Automation. Right after graduating he worked for Industrial Electric then at Emery Telcom for 19 years and was currently working for the Ferron Canal and Reservoir Company.
Loran was an active member of the LDS Church. He served a two-year mission in Oakland, Calif. Loran has held many positions in the church, and was currently serving as the Financial Clerk in the Dutch Flat Ward.
One of the things he enjoyed most was working side by side with his dad and kids on the farm. A highlight for Loran was riding his horse on the mountain with his kids moving the cows. He loved music and loved to sing and tell stories. Loran found great joy in teaching young and old how to make an Aspen limb whistle.
The light of his life was his little granddaughter who lovingly called him "Papa Loran." Loran's greatest love and support was his constant companion, Lisa. He was a very genuine person and wasn't afraid to say "I love you" to family, friends, nieces, and nephews. He had a great sense of humor and everyone wanted to be around him.
Loran is survived by his wife, Lisa; children: Loran Chase (Chelsea) Behling of Ferron, Whitney Behling of Provo, and Elder Taylor Clyde Behling now serving in the Michigan Detroit Mission; one grandchild, Lydia Grace; father, Clyde Behling of Ferron; and siblings: Connie (Larry) Anderson, Joan Smith, Becky (Kurt) Larsen, and John (Sandra) Behling. He was preceded in death by his mother.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2011 at 11 a.m. at the Millsite/Blue Hills Ward chapel, 35 W. 200 No., Ferron. There will be a viewing on Tuesday, Dec. 20 from 6 - 8 p.m., and on Wednesday from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. prior to the services, both at the ward buiding. Interment will be in the Ferron City Cemetery.
Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Loran at www.fausettmortuary.com.

|Posted by Steve Tracy on December 28, 19100 at 00:44:54:
Hello. Like Dave from Minnesota, we in Iowa have received an unusual helping of snow, ice, and unrelenting sub-freezing temperatures this winter. Even my 4" vent stack has a nice, snowy dome covering it. I went so far as to climb the ladder to our rather steep roof before realizing that to proceed onto the icy surface was suicidal.
I have 2 questions. First, since it appears that I'm stuck with the clog until we have an above-freezing day, is sewer gas a fire hazard? I know it's a potential health hazard from air-borne bacteria but the gas is venting from a basement floor drain located a few feet from our water heater and furnace.
Second, would it help at all to put sheet metal vent covers on these PVC stacks, like the ones on our sheet metal furnace and water heater vent stacks? It doesn't help me now but it seems that this could help keep birds from nesting on the open stack and maybe cut down on the chance for snow clogs. I see a lot of open PVC vent stacks on surrounding homes, which makes me wonder if there is some reason for NOT installing some kind of vented cover.
Thanks, Steve

An Act of Abandonment
you for accomplishing your holy
and all-lovable will without any regard for mine.
With my whole heart,
in spite of my heart,
do I receive this cross I feared so much!
It is the cross of Your choice,
the cross of Your love.
I venerate it;
nor for anything in the world
would I wish that it had not come,
since You willed it.
I keep it with gratitude and with joy,
as I do everything that comes from Your hand;
and I shall strive to carry it without letting it drag,
with all the respect
and all the affection which Your works deserve.

Cute but cheap :(
"I will start off by saying that these shoes are adorable and super comfortable. However, the rhinestones fell off within minutes of wearing them the first time. Luckily I have an artsy side so I bought special fabric glue for embellishments and a pack of rhinestones from my local arts/crafts store and, with a little patience and drying time, they look even better than when I purchased them. If you have the patience and time to do the same, I would still recommend them :)"

Calendar Survey Fall 2013 (pdf)
Background information • Based on
prior surveys there is a demand for
keeping winter intersessions henceforth. •
LACCD and PCC start earlier than we do in
Fall and/or Spring, creating a potential for
GCC to lose some students to those
schools. • The local K-12 schools have
changed their calendars due to mandated
testing dates and now start the Fall
semester in early August and end early.

Economic policies impact different segments of the population, including men and women, in different ways. In turn, gender inequalities impact on trade policy outcomes and economic growth. Taking into account gender perspectives in macro-economic policy, including trade policy, is essential to pursuing inclusive and sustainable development and to achieving fairer and beneficial outcomes for all.
UNCTAD plays a key role in ensuring that gender considerations are incorporated in a meaningful way in trade policies. Through its work programme on Trade, Gender and Development, UNCTAD supports its member countries in:
assessing the distinct effect of economic policies, especially trade policy, on men and women, boys and girls; identifying gender-based constraints that impede inclusive development; and devising strategies and policy measures to overcome them.
mainstreaming gender into trade policy through the inclusion of gender considerations in policy formulation and implementation, and in the negotiations of trade and other agreements at the multilateral, regional and bilateral levels.
Why is a gender perspective important when analysing the outcomes of trade policy? A new paper by UNCTAD addresses this question, looking at the experiences of seven developing countries.
The modernization of agriculture and Rwanda's increasing integration into the world's economy can play a catalytic role in rural development and creating jobs for women, experts said at a meeting organized by UNCTAD and the Rwanda's Ministry of Trade and Industry in Kigali, Rwanda on 12 November.

5010 N. Jugtown
Morris, IL 60450
UPDATE: The seasonal closing of Heidecke Lake to fishing for waterfowl season will begin after Oct. 4, 2016. Goose Lake Prairie Visitor Center may be closed on weekends due to staffing, please call to verify hours of operation.
Located southeast
of Morris, Heidecke Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area is managed
by the Department of Natural Resources for fishing and hunting.
DNR has leased Heidecke Lake since 1978, when it was built as a
cooling lake for the Collins Power Plant, which now is owned and
operated by Midwest Generation. The lake provides more than 1,300
acres of prime fishing opportunities.
Fishing | Fishing Fact Sheet
Because of a comprehensive
fish-stocking program, Heidecke Lake has good fish populations producing
trophy-size bass. Only pole-and-line fishing is permitted, with each angler
limited to using two poles. There are no fishing fees, but each angler
must have a valid Illinois fishing license unless exempted by law.
To avoid the possibility
of overharvest and to assure a good fishery, DNR's Fisheries Division has
established minimum length and daily catch limits at the lake. Strict
adherence to size and catch limits will result in Heidecke Lake providing
a quality fishing experience now and in the future.
Fish are measured
while positioned flat on a ruler from the tip of the mouth when closed
to the tip of the tail when compressed. All sub-legal-size fish must be
immediately released to maximize their chance for survival.
fishing is encouraged for anglers who catch legal-size fish but don't
want to keep them. Anglers should handle fish with care and release them
immediately after catching so the fish can survive to later provide other
anglers similar recreation.
The fishing season
at Heidecke Lake opens on or about April 1 each year and closes prior
to the waterfowl season. Call the park at (815) 942-6352 for dates.
Bank fishing access
is open from 6:30 a.m. to sunset. The boating access area is open from 6 a.m.
to sunset. Both areas are open seven days a week.
Only boats for
fishing or waterfowl hunting are allowed on the lake. Each must
have a gasoline-powered motor as its main propulsion unit. There
is no charge for launching. Water skiing, swimming, wading, sailboating
or personal watercraft are not allowed.
On Wednesdays through Sundays during waterfowl season, water sites are allocated by a lottery drawing 90 minutes before sunrise. Shooting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to 1 p.m. The lake is closed to hunting Mondays and Tuesdays. For waterfowl hunting, boats must be at least 16 feet in length and have at least a 60-inch beam with the blind built on the boat.
Shotgun and archery deer hunting are offered at Heidecke Lake. Hunting fact sheets are available by contacting the site. Waterfowl Hunter Fact Sheet | Deer Hunter Fact Sheet
Overnight camping
is not available at Heidecke Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area.
Check the Visitor Center at adjacent Goose Lake Prairie State Natural
Area for information on nearby public and private campgrounds.
Lake Prairie State Natural Area
Adjacent to Heidecke
Lake is the biggest prairie remnant remaining in the Prairie State, and
one of the largest prairies in the United States. Goose
Lake Prairie State Natural Area, totaling 2,527 acres, provides a
link with Illinois' past.
Nearly 60 percent
of Illinois once was covered with tall prairie grasses and broad-leaved
flowering plants, known as forbs. Big bluestem, Indian grass, switch grass
and cord grass dominated much of the landscape, accented by goldenrod,
New England aster, cream false indigo and shooting star. Today,
only a tiny fraction of one percent of Illinois land remains as high-quality, original
prairie. Consequently, Goose Lake Prairie is of historical and natural
importance and is a reminder of the terrain encountered by Native Americans
and early settlers. It also serves as a haven for wildlife, including
ducks, geese, rare Henslow's sparrows, plains pocket gophers and
larger animals, such as deer and coyote.
To increase your understanding
and appreciation for Goose Lake Prairie, its Visitor Center features nature
displays and multi-media presentations. Different programs are presented
throughout the year, with a schedule available at the information counter.
Groups providing advance notice can arrange videos, lectures and guided
hikes. Call (815) 942-2899 for more information.
The Youth Conservation
Corps built a replica of one of the first homes in Grundy County at Goose Lake Prairie. John and Agnes Cragg and their six children lived
in the original cabin, which was built in the late 1830s near the town
of Mazon. Nicknamed "The Palace" because of its two-story design,
the home served as a stop on the Old Chicago-Bloomington Teamster Trail,
making it the predecessor to a truck stop.
Hikers have many options. The Tallgrass Nature Trail
winds through the prairie and its marshes. Depending on the route,
Prairie View Trail can be from 1 or 3.5 miles long. Self-guiding trail maps are available.
Cross-country skiers enjoy Goose Lake Prairie in the winter.
The Visitor Center, which serves as a warming area, offers trail
From I-55 to
exit 240 Lorenzo Road/Pine Bluff Road travel west approximately
7.5 miles to Jugtown Road. Turn north on to Jugtown Road and travel
1 mile to stop sign. Go straight and enter Heidecke Lake.

can't a woman take the helm for once?
yeah Please, don't let Natsu win this fight via "I'll defeat you for my nakama!" steroid. Or "I'll use 1 year share of magic to defeat you!".Haha thats why I was saying month ago when we got that 3 chapter special , Mashima could fuck this up or lean it towards some good storytelling if he doesn't choose the plotslayer path. Defeat is like the only good way to go, depending on how he unravels Zeref the rest of the story might get real interesting or we will always just know every arc oh FT triumphed! Erza used her Gundam Armor, Natsu ate a Nuclear atom bomb, Gray learn the Ice Age spell out of no where, Lucy was closer to being naked. The enemy underestimated this farfetched surprise!
I think I'm getting what is going to happen.
FT will lose.
Everyone will flee to the guild and think they aren't able to do anything anymore.
Laxus enters the guild with a badass pose saying they are trash if they give up.
Not necessarily in this exact order (without something happening between).

USDA Promotes Breastfeeding
I recently had the pleasure to spend a little time with some expecting and nursing mothers in Martinsburg, West Virginia. It was the first meeting of a newly formed community breastfeeding support group planned to coincide with World Breastfeeding Week. My friend Mitch Greenbaum, Director of Shenandoah Valley WIC and Nutrition Services, and his team of trained WIC nutritionists, board-certified lactation consultants and breastfeeding peer counselors, hosted nearly two dozen pregnant and nursing mothers to talk about how important breastfeeding is for both mother and child and how to have a satisfying and healthy breastfeeding experience.

The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today awarded $8.8 million to three law enforcement agencies to enhance interoperable communications networks. These networks enable emergency service personnel from different jurisdictions and disciplines to communicate directly during crises. The grants will offset the cost of purchasing voice and data communications equipment, enhancing communications infrastructures, and project management.
The grants were awarded under COPS Interoperable Communications Technology Grant Program, which was established to increase the number of interoperable communications systems used nationally by law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical service agencies in the same metropolitan area. Grant recipients are Houma, Louisiana ($1.7M); Barnstable, Massachusetts ($2.7M); and Greenville, South Carolina ($4.4M).
Today's grants follow $237.4 million in funding that has been awarded to 62 metropolitan areas by COPS since 2003. Under the grant solicitation, the largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) from each state and U.S. territory, as well as the 50 largest MSAs in the country were invited to apply for the grants.
"Emergencies do not limit themselves to jurisdictional boundaries," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "When an incident occurs, first responders from different counties, cities, and towns must be able to coordinate all available resources. The ability to communicate and share information in real-time is crucial to this process."
In addition to awarding grants that support interoperable communications, COPS offers a range of technical assistance and consultative resources to cities interested in achieving interoperability. On May 24th - 25th COPS will host a National Interoperability Summit where emergency service executives and technical experts will gather to discuss and explore interoperability best practices. The COPS Office is also planning to release a new publication intended to assist emergency service officials throughout the country with developing and enhancing their interoperable communications capacity. To request a free copy of COPS new interoperability publication (Communications Interoperability: A Tech Guide for Interagency Communications Projects) once it is released, please contact COPS Office Response Center at (800) 421-6770.

- Learn more about covering large windows
When choosing window treatments for large windows consider the dimensions of the window. Horizontal blinds and cellular shades are an ideal choice for tall windows, and wood blinds work best for tall skinny windows. Vertical blinds or panel track sliding blinds usually works best on wide windows, and add height and formality to any room.
