Room for love
There's nothing more devastating to a parent then finding out their child has some kind of disorder, especially one that keeps them from progressing in a "normal" society. I thank God every day for the progress Julia has made. First, I credit her for working hard. Then her teachers and peers. Then me. It's a group effort. I admit, I chose the less invasive route, keeping things organic; I didn't want her to go to a million sessions of therapy that she may or may not like or even respond to. I kind of knew that her best way to develop was in a regular environment. So basically all her therapy came at school in little chunks every day. I could have sent her to every therapist under the sun, and maybe I should have. But something told me it would stunt her on an emotional level. I've watched her react to people telling her to DO THIS! DO THAT! and I would see her shrink into herself and cut off her responses. We'd get in the car and OH, Julia's back.
But in the beginning, I was scared. Why wasn't my little girl saying anything? Then I'd get mad because she wouldn't listen. I'd be right there speaking to her and she would walk off somewhere as if she hadn't heard a single word. It was so frustrating to go out in public and not be able to control my own kid. Then I was sad. So sad. Would she ever have a normal life? What did I do wrong? I must have been a horrible mother! And then, why? Why me? Why Julia? I was so alone. None of my family wanted to come over and visit or babysit. But I started to formulate my own thearpy. I read and read and read to her, and asked querstions. Even if she didn't answer, I still asked. Then I used puppets to teach her how to say her name. "Hi, my name is Toby the dog. What's your name?" I'd say it for her, "My name is Julia." Months passed and she finally walked into the room and said to me, "My name is Julia," and walked out.
Now, you wouldn't even know. She's a beautiful, delightful bright girl. Artistic, funny, loving. I had to wait many years to hear her say she loved me, and now she says it all the time. A mother's greatest gift.
Sometimes she will come up to me and say, "Mom, I remember when this or that happened," and it was from a time when she was lost to the world—or so I thought. Just remember, no one is ever lost. No matter the disability, every human is taking in and experiencing the world around them. Can you imagine how painful it would be to not respond, not laugh, not say your name? Can you?
You can help by being open-minded and by giving love. There's always room for love.

She has a good mom.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, most of the time! Thank you Delores.Delete
Amy, you are a brilliant mum - one of the best. I think you are so right not pushing her from session to session for therapy. Julia is a beautiful talented little girl. To me, you are seeking out the best of what's already there and the potential of all that she can be. Love Molly xxReplyDeleteReplies
Well said Molly!Delete
A mother knows best, and you are the best mother to know how to give your child the gift of communication. You are such a lucky person to have this wonderful, loving child and she is so fortunate to have such a wise and loving mom.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. I'm lucky to have her.Delete
Amy...my Jessica, my wednesday's child, full of woe, my baby with the laughing eyes, struggled and struggled and struggled at school. We encouraged, tutored, did everything we could think of. But then, because of life and work, we moved, and we moved and we moved, and all the moving broke her little heart. Then we stumbled upon a wonderful man...the dean of admissions at her school in Atlanta. He looked at her test scores and said "something needs to be done, and I know the person to do it". So off my baby with the laughing eyes went and met Wendy, and Wendy said, I know what your issue is, because I have it to. So Wendy and Jessica lived in their own world and found a way for Jessica to function in the school of this world. And she soared.ReplyDelete
I once asked my Wednesday child what ADD was like and she said Mum, you will be in class and the teacher will tell you tomorrow you have a very important exam and here's everything you need to know about it, and I am going to tell you this only one time. But outside, on a branch is a little bird, and he is singing his heart out, and you just can't not watch the bird.
Now I know that may sound silly and irrelevant, but it explained her world to me...and after that we knew how to help her.
Now, Amy...I wouldn't change one single thing about my Jessica. She functions in life entirely outside of what everyone considers normal...but what's the big deal about normal?

In just a four minute, 14 second-response, Presidential hopeful Gov. Mitt Romney used the word "Obamacare" 18 times - 19 if you count his podium sign: "Repeal & Replace Obamacare."
Most notably about the word useage, he made sure not to say it when discussing his own ideas for reform which includes the popular pre-existing condition coverage.
The one phrase Romney didn't use was "individual mandate," a curious ommission given its deeply disliked qualities. However, he did use language that Americans can easily see as being counter to the individual mandate - freedom to choose one's own healthcare coverage, or not.
June 12, 2012 - Orlando, Florida, U.S. - GOP presidential contender MITT ROMNEY delivers remarks during a town hall meeting at Con-Air Industries, an air filtration business in front of a sign that reads 'Repeal Replace Obamacare'. (Credit Image: © Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel/MCT/ZUMAPRESS.com)"
Over at Mitt Romney Central, the team used the dirty word again - both written and in photos - to post up Romney's morning prepared speech transcript and video.
While the overall liberal reaction's going to remain jubilant, Romney's remarks tells me that his inside team strategists reads some very good tea leaves - or polling.
Just a couple days ago, a new NBC News/ WallStreet Journal poll reported that 37 percent of Americans said they will be pleased if the Supreme Court overturns the law, 22 percent said they will be disappointed, while about a third said they would have "mixed feelings."
What I wrote months ago about Obamacare's individual mandate when the issue resurfaced hasn't changed. It's not that Americans don't want a better, more affordable solution, but they just despise the government intrusion components.
It's most puzzling that Obama would revisit the unpopular issue, seen even by his side of the ailse as a hill they don't want to die on like so many comrades back in 2010.
Romney would be wise to ride this wedge issue til the wheels fall off.
Let the dirty word fly.
Come meet me at BlogHer'12!

Kirchhoff, 28, who was riding the Belgian-bred stallion Jus de Pommes, won the competition outright in the second round by being the only rider of the 10 who had gone clear in the first round to jump another clear. Although he collected one time fault it made no difference to the result.
Willi Melliger of Switzerland took the silver and France's Alexandra Ledermann with Rochet M the bronze after a jump-off against the clock for the seven riders who had finished the two rounds on four faults. With the temperature by now in the nineties and the humidity high, Melliger and Ledermann were the only two competitors to go clear, and the Swiss won the silver by virtue of his faster time on the big-striding grey gelding Calvaro.
Billington, who had reached the jump-off after a clear in the second round (he had four faults in the first) missed his chance of a medal when It's Otto hit an upright over a ditch - exactly the same fence that he had knocked down in the first round.
There was disappointment too for Britain's Nick Skelton and John Whitaker, who had both been unlucky to collect four faults in the first round. Like Billington, Whitaker produced a brilliant clear in the second round but, as he came over the last fence, he realised he was close to the time allowed and had to gallop for the finish. His horse Welham crossed the line just seventh-hundredths of a second over the time which meant that Whitaker narrowly missed an opportunity to jump off for the silver and bronze medals.
Skelton, who had faulted at the water for the third successive time, also failed to reach the jump-off when Show Time had three fences down in the second round.
Germany's victory, its fourth equestrian gold medal at these Games, came despite Ludger Beerbaum (the 1992 individual gold medallist) having to withdraw his talented mare Ratina before the start of the individual competition because of a pulled ligament.

Have Pediatric Questions? Ask a Pediatrician.
I know that it is frustrating for your child to come down with an illness 6 hours after you were there for a check up. It sounds like she is coming down with strep throat.
It has been brewing for few days and now has symptoms,she didnt catch it at the office today.
She will need to go back to the pediatrician either tomorrow or friday, for a strep test. Encourage her to drink alot of fluids, she can take tylenol or motrin for the headache, and potential fever that may develop.
Just make sure that she can move her neck in all directions and the headache is not severe - i dont think that she has meningitis - just confirm though and make sure she does not have a stiff neck or rash on lower legs that looks purple. Strep can cause a red bumpy rash on chest/abdomen
Please reply with any further questions. If I have answered all of your questions, please click accept and take a moment to leave feedback
you can try to take a flashlight and look to see if the back of her throat is really red, but even if it isnt, she still should have a throat culture. I cant tell you to keep her home tomorrow if she has no fever, but that is honestly why strep goes through entire classrooms as kids are sent to school before it gets "that bad". If you take her tomorrow, and the rapid culture is negative because "it is too soon" the general culture that they send out should pick it up. you can wait to take her until friday and the rapid strep will be more accurate.
Even if her throat is "not that bad", it still can be strep. Strep will actually go away in several days if not treated, but then can potentially have devastating effects on the heart and kidneys if left untreated after 10 days. You dont have to rush there now, but you can leave this without checking it out by the weekend as untreated strep is dangerous. Sore throats are one of those illnesses that you have to take your children to the doctor even if you dont think that they are "that sick"
I hope that this information has been helpful. Please reply with any further questions
no only if you have symptoms than that person needs a throat culture and if it is positive then need antibiotics.
do not treat preventively.
Hi. I just logged in for a computer question. I saw that a previous medical question that I had already accepted and paid for came up needing acceptance. I don't know how to fix this as I had already paid for this question,and I don't want to look like a dead beat on this site :). Any response is appreciated.

i want to go for bikini wax but m scared that i feel pain what should i do to reduce pain…….!!!!!
Aren't you tired of dreading the day you have to go get a bikini wax? Seriously, isn't it about time to put a stop to the mental torture you're going through while preparing to go through the pain of a bikini wax? Read on and learn how to reduce the pain to a minimum!
Hair removal. It's a bitch! But, it must be done. Argh cursed be our hairy ancestors! No, seriously, I mean waxing your legs or arms alone is definitely a pain in the ass, but we're talking about a full on Brazilian bikini wax here! That's hard core! If you're reading this and thinking I'm being a drama queen it must mean you're one of the lucky girls who have an extremely high pain threshold. All jokes aside – a Brazilian bikini wax is pretty painful for most women!
Now that I've properly scared off everyone who hasn't tried it from ever trying it, let me try and fix things! There's no arguing that it is after all the best method of hair removal (besides laser hair removal) since it doesn't make hair coarser and rough like shaving, and its effects are longer. Also, you don't have to deal with ingrown hairs. So, the advantages are obvious.
However, so is the price! And I don't mean the price you pay in dollars! No, I talking about the price you pay having to sit there in excruciating pain while someone pulls all the hair out. Am I getting overly dramatic again? Sorry. I'll get to the tips now. Luckily there are things you can do to try and minimize the pain of a bikini wax. And these, really, do work!
It gets easier every time you do it, it really does! It's because the hair gets thinner and softer after being waxed, which means the more you wax the less it's going to hurt. So, yes, it's probably going to hurt a bit the first time you do it. If you've been shaving down there before deciding to wax it all of you can bet it's going to hurt like hell, but it gets better. Stick with it, it's worth it.
Being self-conscious about your private bits is the last thing you need! Think about it this way, the lady doing your waxing couldn't care less about what you look like down there. Also, she'd be pretty surprised if you weren't hairy seeing as how you've come to her to remove the hair. So, getting all wimpy about having to spread your legs for a stranger is really unnecessary. The anxiousness can actually make the experience much worse than it needs to be.
There is a handful of these kinds of products in the market that do make a difference – like the No Scream Cream by Relax and Wax. The purpose of this cream is to relieve you the pain of getting waxed by numbing the skin in the area you apply it to. Make sure you read the instructions prior to using it to make sure you do it right (for example this one in particular needs to be applied 30 to 45 minutes before going in for a wax) and to make sure you're not allergic to some of the ingredients.
This is the time period where your pain threshold is at its highest. Being all worked up and whiney and irritable while you're premenstrual does not mix well with getting a Brazilian bikini wax!
Do it the day before and the day after! Removing any dead skin cells will allow your esthetician to remove all the hairs, and there'll be less tweezing (or threating) after the waxing is done. Doing it the day after is important too, and so is continuing to exfoliate from time to time, as it will help prevent ingrown hairs!
Such as caffeine or alcohol! Having stimulants in your body actually makes you more sensitive to pain! So, give up that cup of coffee the day you plan to get fuzz free!
You probably didn't know this but your pain threshold is significantly higher from3 to 5pm.
Popping an over the counter pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil 30 to 60 minutes before your appointment will help. Although I'm generally pretty against turning to pills to make anything better it's going to make a difference! Not only will they reduce the feeling of pain, but they'll also help with controlling any possible inflammation.
I like sarcasm, coffee, quotes and Audrey H. I hate clammy handshakes. Restless and violently happy most of the time. Sometimes i get the mean reds. "You see things and say - why? I see things and say - why not?"
i want to go for bikini wax but m scared that i feel pain what should i do to reduce pain…….!!!!!
Take two tablets of painkillers about half an hour before the wax and I sprayed my body with deep heat spray to make it numb it works after about 10 minutes of application and you only feel a tug and a bit of a pinch. It wares off really quickly so u might have to reapply mid session but otherwise it helps a lot

"Croatia from Above" photography exhibit opens in Zagreb
"National Geographic – Croatia from Above" photography art exhibit re-opened a few days ago in my hometown of Zagreb, Croatia. To make the artwork more accessible to citizens and visitors, the outdoor displays have been set up in one of the most beautiful open spaces in downtown Zagreb, city park Zrinjevac. This is a major photography art exhibit, a culmination of seven years of intensive field work and preparation by the author Davor Rostuhar. Rostuhar used aeroplanes, helicopters and drones to capture Croatia's natural and cultural beauty. The exhibit had its premiere two years ago; it was since set up in 19 Croatian cities as well as in Milano, Italy during the EXPO 2015. Croatia from Above has been seen by over 1.2 million viewers, and has become the most visited Croatian photography exhibition. After the Zagreb showing closes on June 28, 2016, the exhibit will be displayed in several other Croatian cities: Porec, Veli Losinj, Zadar, Korcula and Samobor (full schedule is listed here: www.croatiafromabove.com/#events). If you happen to travel to Croatia this summer, you should definitely include it in your itinerary; I might be able to see it when I go home this October. You can view some of the stunning aerial images on the project web site at www.croatiafromabove.com or watch a 4 minute video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZTs0l5qwlk There is also a photography monograph with 200 of the best images printed in 18.9 x 12.6 inch (48 x 32 cm) format at the respected National Geographic publication quality. Each photograph is accompanied by a text describing that specific geologic, historic, economic, ecological, and cultural vignette. The publication cost is 29 euros (approximately Cdn$ 42 / US$ 33)....Read More
Jane's Walk 2016 – nature photography at Northeast Swale
I will lead a nature photography walk to Meewasin's Northeast Swale. This guided photo walk is part of the 2016 Jane's Walk festival taking place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We will focus out lenses on wild critters and details in nature found on a beautiful prairie landscape along the northeast edge of town. Date: Saturday, May 7, 2016 Time: 7 – 8 p.m. Jane's Walk is a global movement of neighbour-led walking tours inspired by urbanist Jane Jacobs. The idea behind Jane's Walk is quite simple: encourage people to walk, talk to their neighbours and build a community based on diversity. The Saskatoon festival will start on Friday May 6th and end on Sunday, May 8, 2016. The nature photography field trip will take place immediately after the guided nature hike with Renny Grilz and Louise Jones (6 – 7 p.m. at the same location). Renny is a Resource Management Officer with the Meewasin. He is an ecologist with over 20 years of managing conservation areas for biodiversity across the Prairie provinces and specialized in native plants.

Images on display to mark the World Photography Day
Did you know that the World Photography Day is observed around the world on August 19th? It is a day to celebrate the art of photography, whether you are a casual or a full-time professional photographer. Photography has changed the way we see the world around us. It has allowed us to connect and learn about lives and interests of fellow human beings. It allowed us to share our stories, places we have explored and memories of loved ones. In the era of digital photography, this ability to share became ubiquitous – millions of images are posted on "sharing" sites at speeds not possible just a short time ago. Don't be shy. Grab the camera, snap a few pictures and share the beauty. The World Photography Day was first celebrated in 2009. August 19th was chosen to mark the day in distant 1839, when the French government announced the invention a rather practical gift to the world: the Daguerreotype photographic processes, developed by Joseph Nicephore Niepce and Louis Daguerre. The French government purchased the patent and announced the invention as a gift "free to the world". Select London Drugs stores throughout Western Canada will mark the World Photo Day with photography workshops and display of work by local artists. Good folks at the LD photo lab invited me to prepare several images to be printed and displayed at the 8th Street location in Saskatoon. I am honoured that they picked my work to mark this festive occasion. If you have time (and you live in or near Saskatoon), drop by the London Drugs store located at 2323 8th Street East. Walk around and look for 24 x 36 inch prints hanging from the ceiling. You can also enjoy viewing a small selection of landscape images from around Saskatchewan on a massive 75-inch TV screen. The display will be active until Saturday, August 22nd. And while you are at the store, check out the manager's special – last time I visited they had (my favourite) Lindt chocolates on sale. ...Read More
Jane's Walk – photo walk in downtown Saskatoon
I have been invited to lead a photography walk in downtown Saskatoon as part of the 2015 Jane's Walk festival. The Saskatoon festival will start on Friday May 1st in the evening and end on Sunday, May 3rd. There will be 16 guided walks this year. The photo walk that I led last year was a great success. On a rather cold and windy morning, a group of brave souls joined me for a walk along the Meewasin Trail. This year I will lead a group to explore the familiar downtown scene with fresh eyes, snap a few pictures and exercise our creative side. The idea is to slow down, look beyond the obvious and make a more personal connection with our city. We will look for reflections, patterns and shapes in facades of downtown buildings and aim our lenses at overlooked architectural details. There are many photography gems hidden in back alleys, waiting to be discovered. Time: Sunday, May 3, 2015 (3:00 to 4:00 p.m.) Place: we will meet at the bandstand (gazebo) at Kiwanis Memorial Park south of Delta Bessborough hotel I will lead the group along the river past the Friendship Park and spend some time photographing in the River Landing area. After that, we will head north along the 2nd Avenue S, turn east on 21st Street E and return to the starting point via Delta Bessborough hotel. Although we will be walking on a paved surface, please bring shoes with adequate ankle support and non-slip soles. And remember to watch both ways before we walk across busy roads. Bring a camera with a (preferably telephoto) zoom lens. Free parking on Sunday is available along Spadina Crescent E and 20th Street E. Our meeting point is only a few blocks from the main public bus terminal. City of Saskatoon bus route and schedule information is available at www.transit.saskatoon.ca Jane's Walk is a global movement of neighbour-led walking tours inspired by urbanist Jane Jacobs. The idea behind Jane's Walk is quite simple: encourage people to walk, talk to their neighbours and build a community based on diversity. Full schedule for 2015 Jane's Walk in Saskatoon is listed at www.janeswalk.org/canada/saskatoon (direct link to the photo walk) You can read more about the festival program in this Star Phoenix article by Paul Hanley Yes, there is even an app for Jane's Walk.

Saskatchewan landscapes – an illustrated talk
Just a reminder that on Friday, April 24, 2015 I will present an illustrated talk Saskatchewan Landscapes at the Frances Morrison Central Library (311 – 23rd St East, Saskatoon). The show starts at 2 p.m, and admission is free. Drawing from over 15 years of exploring the wilds of Saskatchewan, I will share images from my favourite places in the province. If you are passionate about Saskatchewan landscapes, join us for a journey of discovery and inspiration. In the eyes of many Canadians, Saskatchewan landscapes are no more than endless fields of wheat and barley. In reality, our province is blessed with an immense diversity of landscapes, ranging from sand dunes, rugged badlands, dry grass prairie, to emense boreal forests of the Canadian Shield. During the first part of the presentation, I will take the audience on a virtual journey around the province; from Cypress Hills and Grasslands National Park in the south, to Prince Albert National Park and Churchill River in the north. After a few short audio-visual clips, I will talk about my sources of inspiration and what drives me to devote a large part of my life to explore and capture the beauty of natural environments. I have spent may years photographing "birds and the bees". Recently, I have put more effort in documenting lives of people who live and work on the prairies. ...Read More

There is still one more option for finding decorative wall shelves. If all else fails, you can look in import stores, flea markets, and home interior shops. These types of stores are famous for locating that hard to find item. This may seem like a lot of shopping but when it comes to your home, you want it to be the best that it can when it comes to appeal. The perfect decorative wall shelf could be anywhere and finding it is what makes buying them so much fun. Modern wall shelves are the means of removing the clutter around you. These are versatile and present additional space as well as decorate your walls by giving them an entirely new look.
What will you display on your shelves? If you are creating a shelving area for your extensive library, your shelves will need to be very sturdy. Other items such as trinkets, photographs, baskets and favorite collections may not require as much support. Wood or glass shelves are better suited for smaller items, whereas wire shelving will accommodate larger items and linens very well. The more items you can store up and away using wall space means a cleaner and more organized home overall.
Earlier on the reason of a wall shelf was keeping the books and crockery but nowadays they are used as decorative pieces for the walls too. They are an utter necessity in smaller rooms, kitchens and study rooms. These are space savers and are extremely important for an apartment. We now have lots of things to hold and that`s when we need a wall shelf the most.
Pine and other softwoods represent the cheapest shelves out there, and aren`t usually worth buying in most cases. They`re easily damaged and don`t hold as much weight, making them suitable only for short shelves or longer ones with lots of support. They shouldn`t be used in places where they`re likely to get dinged, either. Only choose pine if you know what you`re getting into. Avoid engineered woods, like particle board, for shelves that need to support any significant weight along a long span. They`ll only bow and warp over time.
However, the dimensions vary from company to company, and the choice solely lies with you to choose the most fitting size for your walls. There are no standard dimensions for the size. The next one is their construction. Earlier, it wasn`t easy to mount a wall shelf because it required lots of tools. But the scenario is entirely different today. The brackets are mounted within the shelves, and they have a sturdy wooden frame which is covered with faux leather. They can be easily installed, and you won`t require too many people to mount it up on your favorite place.
Wall systems can be freestanding, hanging, modular, adjustable, or fixed, just to name a few options available. There are corner units, floating shelves, hanging shelves, track systems and fully adjustable wall units. The most flexible system is a track system. You can adjust the height of the shelves to accommodate several different sized items. This type of shelving gives you the freedom to frequently change your displays without too much fuss. You can tailor this style of shelving to fit your specific needs.
Once you know what style and size you need, you can start looking at some of the specifics. You`ll need to pay close attention to craftsmanship and quality - choose a company that`ll give you a warranty on your shelves. That`ll let you know that if there is a problem, it can easily be fixed. Warranties can also increase the likelihood that you`ll get a defect free product. After all, no company wants to spend a lot of time paying for products that just don`t work out correctly.
If you look for pre-packaged shelves and just can`t seem to find any that go well in your home, you may need to take another route. This would involve doing a bit more shopping on your part but what woman doesn`t love shopping anyway, especially when you are doing it to beautify your home. You might find that you will have to buy the shelves separately from the brackets. You may decide that you would rather go this way even if you do find that the other ones are nice. When purchasing separately you have the ability to create very beautiful designs that don`t look like they came from a box. Brackets for decorative wall shelves come in many beautiful styles and materials. These can also be found in home centers and hardware shops but you may have better luck shopping online. These days you can find nearly everything imaginable online. Having a global market at your fingertips lets you locate dealers who are not available in your town.

On our trip to Saranac for the February Winter Festival, we stayed at this B&B in the Bear Room, a beautiful spacious room with gorgeous pine floors and walls, vaulted ceiling and the most comfortable beds ever. The warm glow from the gas fireplace made the evening so peaceful as we settled down with a few of the many great books provided. We used the TV only to listen for the weather forecast (snow), and chose to take a quiet walk outside - a winter hush over everything. Margie and Cliff were terrific hosts, preparing us a fabulous hot breakfast. We've been here before, staying in one of their rustic cabins during the spring for some fishing in Kiwassa Lake (which is noted for its bass and pike), but I think we're spoiled now staying in the B&B rooms. We'll definitely be back, maybe for a fall trip when the foliage is at its peak, and stay in the room with the balcony facing the lake. You'll love this place!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Kiwassa Lake Bed and Breakfast is a waterfront, Adirondack B&B offering four oversized guest suites, each with a private bath. Some rooms offer a balcony overlooking the lake and one offers a fireplace. Although once you get here you'll feel like you're a million miles away, the property is just three miles from the Village of Saranac Lake and ten from the Olympic Village of Lake Placid. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, free parking, boats/kayaks/canoes for rent and gourmet gift baskets for a fee. Come visit us - you'll be glad you did! ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Expedia, Agoda and HotelQuickly so you can book your Kiwassa Lake Bed & Breakfast reservations with confidence. We help millions of travellers each month to find the perfect hotel for both holiday and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

New Years Revolutions
By Tommy Evans
Leeds is currently kicking up a hot fuss. The Kaiser Chiefs are supplying killer chorus driven pop, while for a gang (of Four) mentality look no further than 10,000 Things. But grimy, warts'n'all hip-hop?
Not likely, mate.
Thankfully, Leeds most improbably monikered hip hop tyke, Tommy Evans, has created an album that's both politically savvy and streetwise. He spits eloquent rhymes about Iraq, Bush and long-lost girlfriends, sounding like a hip-hop Bono born in deepest, darkest New Yorkshire.
All 16 tracks are delivered with serious style, taking in dark and moody lyrical vistas to bright and breezy paeans about the 'good life' that Krafty Kuts would sell his granny for.
With a little bit of help from his friends - notably Neneh Cherry lending some sultry sass and the brilliantly titled Jehst(er?) giving the beats real bite and urgency - Tommy E is set to put Leeds firmly on hip-hop's radar.

Comments about Dansko Men's Jackson Water-Resistant Slip-On Dress Shoes:
I used to wear another brand, but these shoes convinced me to switch after just one week of wearing them. The arch support is significantly better and the craftsmanship makes these much dressier.

Media announced that Lee Min Ho and Suzy broke up after seeing each other for 6 months but the both of the entertainment companies (Starhaus and JYP) all denied. Starhaus personally asked Min Ho and he said he still meets her right. JYP also confirmed with Suzy that they are having a good relationship.

While I was watching the heirs, there are two interestingly related news were recently released in Korea. First one is about " Nut Rage". I guess this is so popular news that even many foreigners have already known.
Cha Eunsang (Park Shinhye) always works until she goes to see her sister's wedding. Her mom works at Kim Tan's parent's house as a maid. As we already know that Tan family's tangled relationship, their attitude towards her mom is not that nice. Though Eunsang's mom is speech-impaired, she writes to show her expressions to them without kissing their asses. When Tan, Eunsang, Rahel (Kim Jiwon) and others finds out where Eunsang's mom works, that will be another heart braking fact that hurt my feeling. I don't like this setting because those who has money will attack her dignity. It won't be pretty, you guys.
Tan's gamble- Love or Love Not
I thought that Tan (Lee Minho) would hate his brother, Won (Choi Jinhyuk), after what Won told him about leaving Korea for good. Yet it wasn't. He loves him so much. He couldn't wait to see him as soon as he heard Won is in the US. At the same time, Tan's fiancee was visiting him from all the way from Korea to celebrate their anniversary but he was in a hurry to see him.

I can remember that my grandparents had their turn table years ago. And so I check it out! I just miss those times and years wherein it is easy for me to play those records of the good old days. Even if the songs are way back the time I am not born yet, but I do love all the songs. How about you? Do you love records and playing it in turn tables? I know DJs love to use turn tables when they are mixing music for the benefits of those people who wants to dance and listen to good songs. Are you like that too?

Choose the good influence friends and stay away from the bad
I had a bad experience with having friendship when I was in high school and it's the reason why I was a loner. I tried to put some wall in me so that other people cannot take advantage of me or cannot accuse me of things I did not do. Thinking of it again, I've realized that I experienced those things so as for me to separate from the group of bad influence. But then I was so martyr that I was going with the group even I experienced bad treatment with them. Usually they didn't want me to go with them because they said I was the only ugly in the group. They liked to be Continue reading
Overdrive pedal
When I browsed on where I can buy overdrive pedal, I am so happy to find it at my favorite music store. I compared prices and specifications between each models available and I am so happy to find the things that I need. Now, I've got to share this to my friend so that she can help me decide whether I should buy it or I'll choose the Leslie Leslie Modulation Guitar Effects Pedal. It's fun to shop.
Feeling like blahhhh
I just don't feel like making updates of any of my blogs! S.O.S! HELP! I just don't know what to write anymore. But no choice I have to work. I wish there is someone who will give me something and so that I will never work again huh. I am just tired of a life that's….never mind… Anyway, I love writing and I can write a lot (before). What's happening now? It's just that, I don't know what I am feeling right now. I feel like blahhhhhhhhhh! Hoping to write more …. Soon! Well, I guess this is writing…..a piece of article that is more than a 100 words. Tsk. Senseless! But I know I am not the only one feeling this way.
MAKE TIME FOR WHAT YOU LOVE – Lily and the Snowman – I just love this short movie clip
I first saw this December 19, 2015 and posted it on my FB wall. When I tried to check on my past posts, it's then I remembered this short clip but meaningful one: MAKE TIME FOR WHAT YOU LOVE.
Time is the most precious gift that you can give to the people that you love most! Give time to them. It's the most memorable one and it's irreplaceable.
Buy guitar online at Guitar Center
For me shopping online is a wonder as I can just browse around the whole store without tiring myself. Everything is just one click of a button. That is my preference especially when there is a need for me to buy guitar online at Guitar Center. I can easily compare guitar brand to the other and read all of the specifications while sitting in front of my computer. Everything is made convenient through the internet and the online stores like this guitar center online.
Humidity, health and happiness
Is humidity in your home a big issue for you? For me it is. As I grew up in a tropical country wherein it's very humid, I was used to it. Now that I am here in the US, I always look for enough humidity in the house. When it is like this of below 20 humidity, my eyes, my nose and throat bother me. That's why I always use humidifier to put some good moisture in the house. There are times that I will boil huge casserole of water every hours that I am awake.
To this minute, I am still using my humidifier and my boiled water (the fire is the lowest for safety). I have a nice breathing right now and I feel so happy.
Ratings and Reviews in iPhone/iPad = Blank page
I am wondering my I cannot see my reviews and ratings in my iPhone. It is just blank. I also tried logging in my account using my iPad, it's still the same. I don't know what's happy with this iTune account of mine. I have another iTune account but I can my ratings and reviews. It is just this account that I cannot see anything. Help!
It is important to always SAVE
How important it is for you to save? IT IS VERY IMPORTANT! Yes, it is very important as you will not know that you need your savings to help yourself and to help other people. I've tried it many times already that I don't have anything at all. I just relied on my credit cards when I need something and I am tired of it. From now on, I've GOT TO SAVE as much as I can so that I can help my own self and rely on my savings and not on credit. I also need to save so that I can help others more without crediting from my ccs or from friends. I do believe that with faith God is lifting me in the mess that I have right now. In due time, in God's time, I can be debt free and have lots of savings for my self and for my families.

2AC also is very tough to get confirmed...

Wealth management firm Baird has developed a new way to connect with planning students at University of Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee-based firm has joined forces with the the universitys business school, based in Madison, to develop a brand-new bachelor of business administration program in wealth management and financial planning.
The new degree program focuses on a holistic approach to wealth management and financial planning; its students will be eligible to sit for the CFP exam. The link-up was the brainchild of Mike Schroeder, the president of Bairds private wealth management group, and UW-Madison associate professor Mark Fedenia.
The need for young, diverse, highly trained talent is of vital importance to Baird and to our industry, Schroeder said in a statement. The new course will help arm the next generation of financial advisors and wealth management professionals with the skills they need.
An integral part of the new program is a case-based course, launched for the first time this fall as a pilot program. The Baird relationship will also let the business school bring in several guest mentors.
We have partnered with Baird mainly because its a very diverse firm and there are many experts in the different subject areas that typical financial planners have to bring in, says Fedenia. All of those planning dimensions require access to people who have a lot of deep expertise in the field.
This story has been updated after publication.

2 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. A thriving insurance sector is not only the result of an efficient financial services sector but is also an important aspect of a healthy modern economy… The insurance sector promotes long-term savings, that support sustainable long-term development: Create long-term large investments for infrastructure development Generate funds to support a deep mortgage industry Provides a safety net to government, rural and urban enterprises and productive individuals Insurance companies are typically the biggest investors in long- gestation infrastructure development projects in all developed and aspiring nations
3 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. The Nigerian insurance industry is still underperforming its potential and remains at a very under-developed stage… Insurance Density Note: 1)Insurance Density: Premium per Capita (USD) 2)Insurance Penetration: Premium Income as % of GDP Insurance Penetration Source: Swiss Re Sigma Reports (2004 – 2007) South Africa is ranked 2 nd and 32 nd compared to Nigeria's 84 th and 86 th in terms of Insurance Penetration and Insurance Density respectively US$
4 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Compared to the banking industry, the Nigerian insurance industry has not done very well… Total Banking Industry Deposits versus Gross Premium Income $ Billion This has become more obvious post consolidation… $ Billion Total Banking Industry Assets versus Insurance Industry Assets Banking IndustryInsurance Industry Source: Agusto Banking Reports (2004-2007), NIA Reports (2002-2006)
5 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Regulation-driven consolidation to date has wrought some market disruptions but little economic impact in the insurance market in Nigeria… Flurry of mergers and acquisition, with very little synergy rewards Entry of some foreign players No closure of poor performing companies and very limited rationalization of players Wealthy company owners, but 'poor' institutions The overall objective of creating a stronger and more competitive industry is not apparent
6 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Very poorly developed distribution channels as influence of brokers remain high, with insurance brokers possibly controlling as much as 80% of non-life business Collections remain poor, resulting in relatively high receivables Unsophisticated products offerings, mainly 'plain vanilla' with only a few companies creating new opportunities and exploring ways of filling existing gaps in the market Poor public perception, market is suspicious of insurance companies' willingness to pay claims as and when due Lack of requisite skill to participate in highly specialised transactions especially in high value risk segments such as marine, aviation, oil and gas Inability to attract and retain skilled talent Low technology leverage Low investment and asset management capabilities Poor regulatory oversight And the issues that have historically limited performance in the past still persist…
7 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. The expected signs of a thriving industry and synergies from consolidation have not been realised … Expand to new markets and territories Develop new distribution channels Develop new complementary products/ broaden business lines Acquire critical mass, and benefit from economies of scale Develop new business models/ Diversify as a hedge against volatility in market Acquire new strategic business locations Acquire technology, or to add/ replace own technology Acquire skills/ management; to add/ replace team skills Enhance operational efficiency Revenue Enhancement Cost Reduction Improvements in ROCE Improvements in ROI Improvements in ROA Improvements in Productivity Business Rationale Value Expected
8 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. …..especially when compared to the banking industry consolidation…….. Larger financial capacity: ability to participate in bigger ticket transactions and ability to fund global expansion Entrance of global players: increased interest in Nigeria and response to international players and foreign investments New Products: development of new innovative products that are appealing and meet consumer needs New Channels: significant large investments in the development of alternative service delivery channels
9 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Post regulatory consolidation, the insurance industry structure still suggests that there is a need for a transformation… Highly fragmented industry Homogenous companies High-cost distribution system Poor governance Dwindling competitiveness Under-developed channels Commoditised products …overall, there is no real source of competitive advantage for players in the industry
10 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. What should be the objectives of the Nigerian insurance industry transformation? Relevance/ Size/ Capacity of the Insurance businesses Appeal of insurance to consumers, especially the retail segment Ability to effectively compete/ partner globally Developing/ building skills Proliferation of alternative channels Development of appropriate regulatory framework In the UK, the FSA reform programme had three distinct objectives: Improve regulatory framework, reform of firms' business models/ operating practices and protection of customers
11 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Three possible transformation scenarios could emerge….. There are three possible forms that the transformation could evolve Insurance Industry OPTION 1 Consumer Led OPTION 3 Internally Driven OPTION 2 Externally Driven
12 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Consumer-led transformation will be driven by more sophisticated customers … Sophisticated customers, exposed to the developed markets, demand insurance products and services which are at par with what is available in more advanced countries Customers are demanding of a more personal approach, along with a comprehensive range of banking, insurance and asset management products and services This should result in: Strong consumer control Price transparency Value-adding products Channel proliferation
13 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Externally-driven transformation would entail the entrance of more global players… Responding to the emerging opportunities in the Nigerian insurance industry, international companies will enter the Nigerian insurance market space The typical entry strategy for the global players will be to focus on areas where the local players have been traditionally weak Focus on the retail sector Develop innovative products Develop alternative service delivery channels Pricing This should result in: Bigger companies with deeper pockets More expertise in the market place Access to larger distribution networks Ability to attract quality skills
14 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Internally-driven transformation will require industry players to co-operate and collaborate to move the entire industry forward… It will entail the development and deployment of industry-wide infrastructure that will serve as a common operating platform for industry players Similar to Industry collaboration initiatives in the Nigerian banking industry such as InterSwitch, ATMC, Credit Reference Company But the collaboration will not compromise the ability of the insurance companies to compete effectively and aggressively. Basis for competition will be re-defined: Innovation Service quality Value Areas of possible collaboration include: Skills/ Capacity Building Claims Operations and Processing Policy management Channel development This should result in: Better competitive landscape Improved operational efficiency and productivity gains Standardisation and improved industry credibility And could trigger value-driven mergers and acquisitions With meaningful cost and revenue synergies
15 Copyright © 2008 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Insurance industry should consider... Which of these options is: Most desirable? Most likely? What should be the industry's response to each of the options?
