Divided into three clips, you'll first see the way Bella subtly matured from eleventh to twelfth grade. Also, you get a peek at how crews rebuilt Bella's home when production moved from Portland to Vancouver, and you'll find out what was added to Bella's room in the sequel. In the second clip, director Chris Weitz explains how Jacob Black fixing Bella's motorcycle symbolizes putting Bella back together.
In the final clip, Taylor Lautner shows off the harness used to film the scene where he first morphs into a wolf. "In the moment, I'm not thinking about the danger involved because I've got so much adrenaline going that it's quite a bit of fun," Taylor explains. "I get jolted up in the air ten feet. I stop and have to freeze there, so then when it's all edited and put together, they're gonna take my body and convert it into the wolf's body. Poof!"

am really excited to be given the opportunity to try this great natural product line. When I received it I tried the mascara first. I have problems with mascara so I don't normally wear it. It irritates my eyelash follicles and trust me it hurts Another problem I have had is that it causes my eyelashes to shed and I have naturally sparse lashes. But I can honestly say that I have worn Eye of Horus three days in a row now and no shedding no pain so I am totally in love with this mascara. I hate that weighted clumpy feeling and with this line there is none of it I had little to no clumping and my eyes do not feel weighted. So it is a great product find. They are based out of Australia and are all natural and Paraben free.
If you have not heard of Parabens they are used in cosmetics as a preservative, and there is a big debate right now as to the harmful effects and links to cancer.
I received the Ultimate goddess essentials pack: Eye of Horus Natural Mascara, Liquid Define Liner, Natural Smokey Eye Pencil, Cosmetic Sharpener, Compact Mirror, and a Microfiber cleansing cloth in in a little make up bag. I also received Bronze amulet goddess pencil and Charcoal obsidian goddess pencil.I tried the Bronze liner first with my coloring it was very faint but it went on smooth and easy. I then tried Charcoal Obsidian and all I can saw is wow.
I love my eyes to be well defined because I wear glasses most of the time and it will definitely do that. No clumping no smudging I will be posting more pictures of my use of this line I cant wait till the release shadows. This is a great line and I hope you guys take a minute and check out there site and like there facebook page. I love this line and the ease of use.I am putting up some pictures I am not a make up artist just a normal married lady that loves make up and looking nice so my application is not perfect but I know a good product and this is one great line Eye of Horus let them release your inner goddess .
It has natural ingredients that helpful for lashes- strengthen and lengthen.It has carnauba was,bees wax, rice bran wax, candelillah wax.(I only know the beeswax,no idea about the rest of it,but guess they all are natural.
O Flexible brush glides with lashes and curls and enhances lashes naturally

JORDAN Turnbull could not hide his delight after helping the now managerless Sky Blues secure a fourth clean sheet of the season in Saturday's 2-0 victory away at Port Vale on Saturday.
Goals in each half by Marvin Sordell and Chris McCann earned the Sky Blues their long-awaited first win of the season and moved the struggling club off the bottom of the League One table.
Summer signing Turnbull, who was making his eighth league start of the season, admits getting three points was a 'relief' and now the 21-year-old is calling on his team mates to build on Saturday's win and make a push up the table.
"All the squad are delighted with not only the result but the performance out there as we controlled most of the game and finished the chances when we created them," said Turnbull.
"It's a difficult place to come, you just have to look at their start to the season and I felt we handled that fantastically.
"We showed what we are capable of but it is now about building on that and not sitting back and relaxing.
"I enjoy games like that. We are both sides that look to get the ball down and play football the right way, but in the end it got a little more physical which is enjoyable to play in as well.
"I thought me and Willis looked comfortable for the majority of the game, but that was helped by everyone. Sterry and Page defended their wings very well and the midfield pressed superbly.
"Defensive shape comes from the whole team, to the forwards pressing their back line to the rest of the side winning their individual battles. I thought that aspect of our game was very good."

At the beginning of this month, I got a new job. It was a great opportunity, because not only was it on campus, but I also worked for these two middle-aged guys who are low key and only require me to look nice. I work four hours a day, for days a week scanning files full of documents. That is literally all I do.
So by yesterday I had gotten into a really great routine which allowed me to stay entertained while these huge files scanned. There was this small desk next to the scanner that I would roll a chair up to. I would set my drink in one corner, my stapler and staple remover in the middle, and my phone in the other corner. I would grab a file folder, take it to the desk, turn on Netflix (with headphones of course!), and begin removing the staples, scanning the documents, and replacing the staples. When the files was done, I would pause my show, get up, replace that file, and grab a new one. It really made the time fly!
Well there are these middle-aged women who work in the offices behind the scanner who gave off a bitch vibe, but today they confirmed it. So one of these women had her Keurig on this table and once every shift, she would ask me to if she could butt in, so she could make coffee. It was no problem, I would always smile and move. I wasn't hurting anyone and I got my job done. Apparently speaking to me was such an inconvenience that when I came in today the table was gone.
It really frustrated me, because I felt they didn't like me since the day I started. None of them introduced themselves to me and anytime I walked up, they would look at me weird or just ignore my presence. Also, this is supposed to be a professional environment, so if something about me or my actions bothers them, they should have talked to me directly.
Luckily, two can play the passive aggressive game. My job (which is super simple) had just gotten a lot harder without that table, so that was only fueling my fire. So, every time I would have to go scan my files, I would tap the buttons as loudly as I could. After about four or so files, the women came out of their dens.
Queen Bitch walks up to me and introduces herself and asks who I am. I in turn give my name and she proceeds to ask if the table would help me do my work. I said yes so they both brought it back out of the storage closet next to the scanner. They claimed they were just cleaning up Queen Bitch then introduced Second-In-Command Bitch to me. I thanked them for giving back the desk.
Now they have gone back to ignoring me unless Second-In-Command Bitch needs her coffee. Grow Up!

comment:8 Changed 7 years ago by
trac_ordering.3.patch makes 4 test cases fail. I have simplified and fixed the patch in 10178-multi-column-order-r10691.patch, but I have a bad feeling about the change. More specifically, treating the
order and
desc arguments separately feels wrong, and using a single
[(field, desc), ...] list as an
order argument would feel more natural. Except for the case where
order isn't specified, but
desc is, which means to use the default ordering but descending.
Also, the fix in
get_default_columns() is currently backward-compatible, but not necessarily the best solution.
Ideas and review welcome.

Fixed and simplified.

comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by
How about just adding a ! or ~ prefix to the order fields to indicate that they should be reversed, i.e. something like:
I think the tilde (~) is easier to distinguish from a pipe than the exclamation mark.
Underscore or just a dash are other options.

comment:12 Changed 6 years ago by
Good idea, though
- is much more intuitive in this situation than
comment:13 Changed 6 years ago by
Sounds good. We can keep
desc for backward compatibility, and it would only affect the first element in the
order list (i.e. for the first element in
order, sorting is descending iff the element starts with "-" or
comment:14 Changed 6 years ago by
Agree. Splitting
order and
desc is not practical. As cboos said, using minus (
order=priority|-created|resolution) is what seems most intuitive for negating the order effect.
Decisions in this ticket also has some bearing on how
[query] default_order is implemented in #10425.

Multi-order has been integrated in patch for #10425 as requested by osimons.
Remaining work on this issue:
- Define a way for the user to select what columns to order by and if the order is to be reversed.
- Remove limitation in #10425 patch for a single rule (Query.init())
- Enable the test case for multi order.

I am new to Trac so maybe I have my versioning mixed up but mine says it's 1.0.1. Does that mean this ticket should already be implemented and released? I tried this in my TracQuery but it doesn't sort by the 2nd field:
comment:22 Changed 5 years ago by
No, 'version' applies to version used when creating the ticket (or where bug is discovered, or as a marker of similar use). This ticket is still open, scheduled for some future non-specific milestone. To be available for you, a ticket should be 'closed' as 'fixed' and with a 'milestone' earlier or equal to the version you are using.

Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich!
This sandwich is OHH, so yummy!
Cook a chicken breast or two. I kept the seasonings simple with salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
While that's cooking away, slice your multi-grain ciabatta roll {from Sam's club for dirt cheap, I think it was $4 for an 8 count!}
Take out some mayo and mix in some paprika. I did about 1-2 TBSP mayo to 1/2- 1 tsp-ish of paprika... I didn't measure... I like to live on the edge... not really, but I was feeling edgy when I figured out this combo... you see, I'm a total wiener when it comes to trying new foods, especially sauces.
Anyway... spread the mayo on the sandwich.... and here is the important part. DO NOT skip out on this part.... are you ready? Can you handle it? It's going to underwhelm you until you bite into this sandwich.
Put your field greens, lettuce, spinach or whatever you want, on. Put your sliced chicken on, top it with the cheese of your choice, I used cheddar because it's what I had. Put it together and ENJOY.
...And enjoy it you will. I promise.
You can thank me later, or never.... but either way, it's my new favorite sandwich...for now.

Trencin Strip clubs Reviews
138 reviews
Aug 03, 2007
There are quite a few strip clubs her in Trencin and while you are crawling from one pub or nightclub to annother you will see two or three clubs (at least), but all of them are really bad.
In the first club there was only one girl that are dancing like to every fifth song. This club only has one strip pole
This club has 2 strip poles, adress unknown
In the second club there where three really nice girls and they gave us one dance each and then they went in the backroom. We where 3guys and they could have made ALOT of money in tips if they would have had a couple of drinks with us and just talked.
They are most probably located between Steps and cleopatra.

Planning and designing an effective website is a tedious job especially if you are not a regular internet user. Creating websites for businesses require some understanding on computers, and little awareness on latest technical aspects, content and design to create effective influence on users. Of course, the primary thing that is need to create a website is capital unless you are working with some free online tool to create one. No matter if you are designing it for fun or for professional purpose, there are some basic things that are required when you are creating a website.
Understand the Purpose
The foremost thing to do before deciding on the technical things is to understand the purpose of your website – whether it is for informational or business. If business is your aim, then try to estimate how much product or service data you are going to display on the web and how many visitors you are expecting on an average. Having a clear idea on these things will help you to decide on basic technical aspects.
Domain Name
Choosing the domain name relevant to your business is the first necessary thing to create a website. Domain name is the online identity with which the user will find your website on the web. There are options to buy your own domain from any domain registrars or get a free one offered by many different companies. You may have to be careful while choosing the domain name extensions like .com, .co.in, .org, .net etc as extensions are very specific to each entity – organization, commercial, educational, government etc.
Website Hosting
To make it live on the internet, every website requires hosting on some servers. There are many hosting providers out there who can take care of your website to make it available to the users online without any interruption. Once signed up for the hosting service, these companies will provide tools and interfaces to the website owners to upload and manage their website files easily on their web servers. If required the hosting services will also assist with database support for different application platforms. Generally providers offer windows and Linux based hosting services with different specifications for shared, dedicated, reseller, managed, cloud etc. It is the responsibility of the website owner to identify which type of hosting is appropriate for their application.
Website design and content
Before finalizing on the content for your web site, it is necessary to design the pages using standard Hyper Text Markup Language — HTML code which includes images, links, and basic content format.. Unless you have some prior knowledge in writing HTML code, it will not be possible to give professional look for your website. You will also find many free web development tools that can not only help you with creating the new pages but also edit the existing design. Once the designing of the web pages is done, you can move forward with creating and organizing compelling content as per your business needs.
Remember, there is no point in having a website if it is not shared with any user. Then comes the requirement for a good digital marketing company who can work wonders on your website, making it search engine friendly so that your brand will get promoted easily.

On September 11, 2001, with the collapse of the World Trade Center started what the U.S. called "the war against terrorism". U.S. President George Bush termed it an act of terrorism and threatened strong action against the people who had carried out the attack. It was the Taliban and the Saudi millionaire-turned-militant Osama bin Laden who were eventually held responsible for it. President Bush said that the U.S. would do "whatever it takes" to hunt down "terrorists" and that if Osama bin Laden thought he could hide, "he was mistaken".
Pakistan became the center of world attention after the September 11 attacks. It was placed in a difficult situation as the U.S. threatened to carry out military strikes on the Taliban. Faced not only with international pressure to take part in curbing the war on terrorism, but also a strong domestic pressure not to side with the United States against an Islamic country, Pakistan sought to assume a delicate balance between the U. S. demands and an expected backlash from internal militant and religious organizations.
General Musharraf made efforts to persuade the country's political and religious leadership to support an alliance with the United States but was partially successful in his efforts. Liberal-minded politicians agreed to fully back the government while leaders of some hard-line Islamic parties were not happy. Several groups threatened to start a countrywide uprising in protest against any U.S. attack on the Taliban. All the religious parties and various political parties like the Jamiyat-i-Ulema-i-Islam, Jamaat-i-Islami, Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf, shared the same opinion on the possible US military action against the Taliban regime and use of Pakistani soil. They were not only against attacking Afghanistan from Pakistan soil, but were also against offending Pakistan's closest brotherly neighbor, whom Pakistan had supported against the Soviet Union at the cost of burdening itself with a large number of refugees.
Pakistan was faced with a tough choice and irresistible pressure from the United States, an old ally and sole super power, to support a military strike against Osama bin Laden. That pressure, however, was combined with extreme reluctance to abandon Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, an old friend and neighbor. Pakistan in this difficult situation was left with actually little choice except to comply with U.S. demands. The Government, despite the protest of the religious parties, decided to cooperate with the U.S. However, it made it very clear that Pakistan would extend full cooperation to the international community in its fight against terrorism without involving its forces in any action beyond its geographical boundaries. The U.S. was given permission to make use of Pakistani airspace for U.S. missile or aerial strikes against targets in Afghanistan. Pakistan also agreed to the exchange of intelligence and logistic facilities and to the closing of Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
US attack against the ruling Taliban started almost a month after the September 11 attacks as the Afghan Government refused to meet American demands of closing alleged terrorist training camps, handing over the leaders of the Al-Qaeda network, and return of all foreign nationals, including American citizens detained in Afghanistan.
As U.S. bombing on Afghanistan started, it was however forecasted on the bases of the Afghan resistance to the Soviets and all previous invaders since Alexander, that the Taliban would never give up their arms. The Americans would have to engage in a long, bloody, guerrilla warfare that would take months, if not years, to yield results. Snow would come and make fighting impossible. Further, sympathetic Muslim sentiment would topple the Musharraf regime and threaten others. It didn't happen that way; history did not repeat itself. The Americans and their coalition partners carried out extensive aerial bombardment of Afghanistan that led to the killing of large number of innocent civilians and to the takeover of the Taliban strongholds one after another. The Taliban regime was toppled and a transitional government of Taliban opposition was installed in its place.
Pakistan was once again faced with the refugee problem in the wake of U.S. military action in Afghanistan. Thousands of Afghans fleeing their country rushed to the Pak-Afghan border. The Government of Pakistan, already bearing the burden of millions of Afghan refugees, deployed additional forces to prevent the entry of displaced people into Pakistan. In spite of the fact that the borders remained closed, some 10,000 people or more crossed at various border points from Afghanistan into Pakistan, further increasing the number of refugees.
After the aerial offense, the ground offensive eventually started to oust the number of Taliban left in Afghanistan. The U.S. continues to focus on tracking down the remaining Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders in Afghanistan. This means that the U.S. will maintain a significant military force and continue to play a role in the region in the future.
Pakistan once again supported its old ally, the United States, in its military action against Osama bin Laden at the cost of forsaking its old friend and neighbor, the Taliban. But the question whether the American government abandons or continues to support Pakistan after it achieves its objectives still remains to be answered.

I've said many times that I want everyone on my staff to make at least one mistake a week.
Through Saddleback, I've learned that if you're not making mistakes, then you're not trying anything new. If you're not trying anything new, then you're not learning, and if you're not learning, then you're already out of date.
I want my staff members taking risks and making mistakes. That means they're being innovative, and it means they're not afraid to try.
Now, I don't want them making the same mistake every week—that means they're not learning. But I tell them, "Make a new mistake each week." I also tell them, "Show the innovation and creativity to do something that you've never done before."
Nothing great is ever done without talking risks, and I want a staff full of leaders. Leaders take risks. There's another word for risk-taking: faith. Faith is a critical element in the success of your ministry. Will you believe God for big things?
One day I asked my staff to flip to Mark 10:27a in their Bibles. It's the verse that says, "For with God all things are possible." I asked my staff to circle the word "all" and then to write the letters "NSD" next to that verse.
NSD means No Small Dreams. We serve a big God, and He says the size of your faith will determine the size of your blessing in life: "According to your faith, let it be done for you" (Matt. 9:29b).
In Matthew 25, three servants were given different talents. One was given 10 talents, and he went out and doubled them. Another servant was given five talents, and he went out and doubled them. But the guy with one talent dug a hole and essentially said, "I didn't want to lose it. I didn't want to take any risks." The master said, "You wicked, lazy, unfaithful servant." Why?
Because by not taking risks, you are being unfaithful.
So what are you going to do to take risks in your ministry? If you're not taking any risks in your ministry, then you don't need any faith. If you don't need any faith in your ministry, you're being unfaithful.
Please, go out and make a mistake this week.
In the meantime, would you pray for the pastors.com staff? They're taking risks each week as they reach out to serve you.
Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church. His book, The Purpose Driven Church, was named one of the 100 Christian books that changed the 20th century. He is also founder of pastors.com, a global internet community for pastors.

text: I agree with everything that's been said in here pushing back against Israel's crazed critics and defending its right to defend itself. But we shouldn't fool ourselves that this operation is going to "discredit" Hamas, as some conservatives hope, much or at all. Yes, Hamas ultimately is responsible for the conflict. But when an Israeli shell kills your family or your neighbor's family, most people aren't going to think it through enough to blame Hamas, they are going to direct their hatred and their desire for revenge at Israel. That's why probably the most that realistically can be hoped for from this operation is a diminishment of Hamas' capabilities. Achieving more than that would require holding territory and engaging in classic counter-insurgency operations, including providing services to win over the population. Israel's not going to do that, and it doesn't seem the PA is capable of it. Extremist groups like Hamas can indeed be marginalized and defeated. We did it with the Mahdi army in Iraq. But we held territory, worked to win hearts and minds, and–perhaps most importantly–had an Iraqi government pulling in the same direction, which politically isolated Sadr and convinced people his nationalism was cover for thuggery and mayhem. By this standard, Israel is 0-3. I hope I'm wrong and the sheer military beating Hamas is taking undermines its political standing, or the PA steps up, but, alas, it doesn't seem likely.

Bosselman Companies has recently announced that it has opened the company's newest truck stop location in Sullivan, Missouri, at Interstate 44, Exit 226.
This new truck stop is located adjacent to the Flying J Travel Plaza, in Highway East, Sullivan, Missouri. Charlie Bosselman, president of the Bosselman Companies and Boss Truck Shops Inc., has expressed his excitement to resume the expansion of their network of repair centers at Pilot/Flying J Travel Centers across the US.
A truck stop is a commercial facility which gives refuelling, rest, and food for motorists and truck drivers. Truck stops are usually found near a busy road. Smaller truck stops might only consist of a parking area, a diner, and a fueling station. Larger ones have a convenience store, showers, a video arcade, and even a small TV/movie theater. They also offer full-service maintenance facilities such as vehicle wash services, and motels. The world's largest truck stop is the Iowa 80, found along interstate 80 off exit 284 in Walcott, Iowa.
There are now a total of 114 truck stops in 23 states. Charlie Bosselman has said that Boss Shops are working hard to broaden their footprint all across the country, and also in the truck repair business. The 44 strong branches of Boss Shops will benefit the existing customers, as well as new ones. The trucking industry is always looking for repair facilities that they can trust, in order to do their over-the-road work for them. After 65 years in the industry, Boss Shops are now fulfilling this need throughout the country.
Bosselman is a privately held company with over 1,200 employees. It is a family company that's currently in its third generation. Bosselman has been a leader in community service. It has supported local companies through financial contributions, support of youth scholarships, events in the community, and volunteer efforts of its employees.
Boss Shops have been around since 1948. Charlie Bosselman's uncle, Al Eaton, started with one shop in the old Lincoln Highway in Grand Island, Nebraska. He was joined by his brothers in law Fred Bosselman, Charlie Bosselman, Fred's wife Maxine, and Eaton's sister, Charlotte. Through the years, this location has developed a wonderful reputation for its delicious food and good service. In 1965, Fred Bosselman constructed the Bosselman Truck Plaza at the intersection of the new Interstate 80 and US Highway 281 at Grand Island. This location eventually became known as the "Truck Stop of Tomorrow" and has become a landmark on I-80, successfully serving its customers for over 50 years. Fred's sons, daughters, and their spouses also got involved in the family business. The company grew and expanded into different ventures, such as convenience stores, more truck plaza locations, restaurants, lodging, and truck repair shops. Bosselman eventually divided into two entities, retail and energy.
Charlie Bosselman himself is thrilled and pleased to continue providing this quality, hometown service at Boss Shops across the USA, and to support the trucking industry as a whole.
Boss truck stops offer professional mechanics and roadside service, tire shops, oil changing services, maintenance, brakes, electrical, drive train and air conditioning repairs.

How to work remotely (part 1)
It is no secret that working remote is more possible today than it was even 10 years ago, I'm here to show you how to do that as a mobile app designer. I've been a full time remote consultant since 2011. During the course of my consulting I've worked from all over the United States including places in Washington, California (San Luis Obispo and Avila Beach) and most recently the island of Kauai. During this time I've had the freedom to travel as well as set my own schedule and work as much or as little as I'd like. This has been important to me because my wife and three kids play a very important role in my life and I want to spend as much time with them as I can. Also, I don't really care for commuting.
Steps you can take to start working remotely
- Start thinking about the idea of working remote full time, maybe you've never thought of yourself as a remote worker. Starting now, it's time to change your mindset.
- Discuss the idea of working remote with your friends/family – Their insight will help you determine if it's possible for you.
- Set up a home office – Having a great space, even if it's small will help you dramatically be more effective in your work.
- If you're an employee, start testing the waters by working one day remotely each week. Make sure you make this day the most productive of your week.
- If your employer won't budge and you really want to start working remote, start looking somewhere else.
- Check out oDesk, Angel.co, Linked In, WeWorkRemotely, Automattic (most of their staff is remote) and other online job board sites.
- Read 'Remote' by 37signals – an excellent book about the changing landscape of work and why remote is just as good as being co-located.
- Follow up – If you aren't immediately successful don't lose heart. Sometimes making a change like this takes time.
This is the first of a series of posts on working remotely that I'll be posting. Please feel free send any questions that you have to me or post them in the comments. I'd be happy to provide any help that I can!

Erupting Volcano Science Experiment!!!
Wow what an amazing time everyone had with the Magic School Bus Volcano Erupting Kit
I highly recommend this for any inquiring young minds. Ace and Kingston both love to see how things really work and are fascinated by creating things and understanding why they operate.
Being that Ace has lived the majority of his life in Hawaii up to this point having access to live active volcanoes and lava tubes in Hawaii Volcano National Park for example or witnessing the close proximity of the stars at the beautiful Mauna Kea Volcano has peaked a natural interest in the science of how volcanoes work.
This Magic School Bus science project provides an excellent lesson as to how and why volcanoes exist and the depth chart of how far they journey below the earths surface. This cool kit comes equipped with a ton of info including, charts, booklets, graphs and more giving an extensive fun family lesson on the subject!!!
Below are a few pics of us either in front of active volcanoes or Lava Tubes in Hawaii Volcano National Park

I have a tendency to title different seasons in my life after Laura Ingalls Wilder books. There was These Happy Golden Years – the ones in which I first fell in love with my husband. Little House on the Prairie happened in the seven year jaunt we spent on the Colorado plains when my parents thought they would see if they were made for country life. (Spoiler: They weren't.) (Also, the house wasn't very little.) Currently we are in the last chapters of The Long Winter. And though it's Colorado and we have bursts of warm weather every few weeks, and though I didn't spend the last five months twisting hay into kindling for our non-existent wood fire place, it has truly been a long winter. Getting me through all the bleak winter days and chaos of activities that filled up our calendars has been a stack of good books. (And regular doses of hot coffee.)
My most recent reads, as winter slowly has melted its way into spring:
A Circle of Quiet by Madeleine L'Engle
Beautifully stringing reflective writing on both writing and life, Madeleine L'Engle's offers pages and pages of gems in her words. I am thankful that God made such beautiful and brilliant people like her, and that they chose to write down the lovely thoughts they had.
"I can't be pulled apart like a jigsaw puzzle that can be dismantled and then put back together again. I am, for better or worse, writer, wife, mother, and all these bits of me are inseparably blended to make up the human being."
Friends, if you read anything this month read this. Jen Hatmaker has the ability to ingeniously weave humor and inspiration and recipes and conviction and encouragement all together in a mere 224 pages. Words on yoga pants and words on the gift of vulnerability belong next to each other, but are rarely found. This is a treasure.
"The best I offer the world is the truth – my highest gift. What the world does with it is not up to me."
Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond
I'm reading love stories, and when it is an actual real story then I'm all about it. I'm a regular visitor to The Pioneer Woman's recipe page but I had no idea who she was. This book was a sweet introduction to her and how she met and married her husband. I few through it in a few days.
"This isn't just my love story; it's a universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet."
A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle
I have come to the realization that, with the exception of Star Wars, I really don't like Science Fiction. And I know that because I didn't absolutely love C.S. Lewis' space trilogy and L'Enlgle's trilogy isn't really captivating me. But I'm sticking with these books because even in a less appealing medium, this woman is wise and I want to gather all her insights up and store them in my heart forever.
"Time isn't any more important than size. All that is required of you is to be in the Now, in the moment which has ben given us."
I'm compiling a list of my next reads. Any recommendations?

Can't believe he still has a license
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on January 26th, 2016
I got new insurance and couldn't believe this guy is still on there. I went to him a few years ago. I called the medical board and evidently that doesn't mean one loses his license if they are a bad doctor. My doctors at Harvard asked me to get a test for periodic fever syndrome/mediterranean fever. I have a rare life threatening condition that was diagnosed a few years ago, Mastocytosis, all this doctor had to do was run a test. I also have seizures and can no longer drive and have anaphylaxis often. This doctor took one look at me and said, I don't need those reports, I can tell that you are fine. He said he had never heard of my disease. He said, tell me did it start with your mother or your father? What is your relationship like with them? What in the world? I said but you haven't even seen my blood work. He said I don't have to. You look perfectly healthy. Your doctors at Harvard have made up a disease and gave it a name to make you feel better about yourself. Bahahahahahaha. This guy is insane!!!!! Do not go to him!!!! I should have known it was a bad sign when there was a guy in the office that interrupted our appointment because he wanted to fight Dr. Colletti. It was the craziest scene at a doctors office I have ever ever experienced. He is crazy! Wish I could give him a minus 10 star review. But I had to give one. Ugh.
Very rude and horrible bedside manners
Self-verified patient of Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on January 19th, 2016
This doctor has the worst beside manners of any doctor I've seen in my entire life. He doesn't let you finish your sentence because he's trying to rush and actually yells at you to just answer his question. After 3 times of him yelling at me I finally yelled back. He was however, very sympathetic toward my pain but he was very rude and rushy. I will never see him again and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone!
Professional and Thorough
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on July 23rd, 2015
I had read some of the negative reviews about Dr. Coletti and I must admit I was rather reserved about attending my appointment. However, my general physician referred me to him, and I trust his opinion. Dr. Colletti made " Top Doc" for the current year and again that meant something. I found him to be professional, respectful, and thorough. He went over my medical history and labs with me without haste. Dr. Colletti was apparently well versed in in specialized field of study. I have no complaints to offer about him personally or professionally.
if you have Lupus don't bother with this Dr
Self-verified patient of Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on February 13th, 2015
I went to this Dr for Lupus he looked at my blood work and said you levels are good. Lupus attacked my heart ( heart attack) and since I've started the lupus meds my heart has been stable. I told him I'm on lupus meds which is why me levels looks good the meds are doing it's job. I explained to him people with high blood pressure take meds and when you check their blood pressure it's normal right, that means the meds are working. This Dr needs to go back to school because there have been so many medical advancements since 1970. I had a wonderful rheumatologist unfortunately she moved. I can't believe this Dr wants to take me off meds, he didn't even ask me what my symptoms were. My cardiologist even said that the part of the heart that was attacked is common with lupus.
Five Stars

Great medical provider! As a new patiet, I was able to spend 50 min's with Dr Colletti to discuss my prior history and helth concerns.
A** hole
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on September 23rd, 2013
I saw this piece of crap "Dr." When I was 19. I am now 41. He did nothing but belittle me and my mother who was always with me. I just had labs that showed indication of Lupus. I decided to go through my records from childhood and found that Dr. A** Hole found that I had Lupus back then but didn't feel it be important for me to know. I have struggled all these years not knowing why I hurt so bad and felt the way I did. Because of him and other Dr's like him I wouldn't go back to a Rheumy over the years afraid of being told "it's all in your head". Well it wasn't "all in my head" it was and IS real. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time on this piece of crap. He's a poor excuse of a human being.
Lupus treatment
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on August 16th, 2013
Dr. Colletti is the worst doctor I have dealt with in my 60 years. He is ignorant of his field, inconsiderate and indifferent toward his patients. Stay away, mostly if you are a lupus sufferer.
Self-verified patient of Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on May 8th, 2013
Scheduled an appt. with Dr. Colletti (one a half months for appt.) and told him about the pain in my hands and lower back. He scheduled me for x-rays and a follow up appt. (approx. another month later). One the follow up appt., he told me that I see you have some arthritis in your hands and lower back, but I can't help you. I didn't ask why because he was just a crotchety old man and I didn't want to be around him any longer and I waited so long just to hear that crap. I would have gotten better service from a witch doctor. I would never recommend this guy to anybody. I would give him no stars but Vitals.com forced me to select one star.
No manner
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Michael P Colletti - Posted on February 21st, 2013
I am taking care of my friend from Romania a 73yr old man he has an accent but speak really well English. He can't understand him and ask me if I can speak Romanian, I said no. He told me to go outside because I'm no use.. I can't believe I'm hearing that from a professional person.. I guess he's not. I never gonna take him back there again.

If you're running any kind of business and looking for ways to raise your online profile, then you'll benefit a lot from some simple Internet Marketing strategies.
Now the good thing is, you don't have to spend millions of dollars just to get some decent exposure for your company. There are ways to get your business noticed without blowing a hole in your advertisement budget.
Here are some simple ways to increase the visibility of your business without shelling out more than you can afford.
However, all these techniques need patience and some footwork to produce the best results. Despite what some would have you believe, there's no magic button you can push to get 'instant' attention. You have to put the groundwork in first.
OK, it stands to reason you need a website before you can make use of these low-cost Internet marketing strategies.
So go create one or hire a web developer if you haven't already got a site up and running.
Use the site to advertise your products and services by employing the following Internet marketing techniques:
This is the process of recruiting a network of smaller websites, or net savvy individuals – known as 'affiliates' – to drive targeted traffic to your website. You provide your affiliates with tools like Ad copy and links to send visitors to your site so they buy from you.
You have to pay a certain percentage of each sale to your affiliates. Make sure this percentage is high enough to attract good affiliate marketers and they'll work hard on your behalf promoting your products.
It's a good win-win situation all round.
One of your goals should be to achieve page one rankings with search engines like Google.
A good way to do this is through link building. This can be done through trading links to other businesses and websites that are complimentary with yours.
In fact, back-linking is considered to be a top strategy by a lot of Internet marketers.
Sending out Newsletters to your subscribers (those who signed up for your newsletters) will help greatly in establishing a good relationship with your customers or prospective customers.
The best Newsletters are content rich, consistent and written in a conversational tone.
Never be scared to send out regular newsletters, as your readers will soon be eagerly looking forward to them, if you provide good, useful content.
One of the most cost-effective Internet marketing tools you can ever use.
Email marketing is still one of the best ways of keeping in touch with your customers and keeping them aware of your products and services.
There are a number of excellent Autoresponder services you can sign up to that make email marketing easy.
Just make sure you avoid spamming your subscribers or you'll soon get a lot complaints and you could fall foul of the ISPs and other agencies.
No one likes spam, so do email marketing the right way.
Write quality content and post articles on your website educating visitors about your products and services.
The search engines will soon learn to love your site and index you highly in their search results.
And getting your website indexed by popular search engines means more traffic for you – and more sales.
Another zero-cost way of expanding your web presence is through joining forums that discuss things related to your products and services.
Actively posting responses to readers questions and offering valuable information will build your reputation.
Plus, you can boost your company's visibility through your 'signature file'. After posting some great content for a few weeks, start to use sig files at the end of every post.
Skillfully done, sig files can contain links to your website to drive new visitors and sales at no cost to you.
So now you have six low/no-cost ways of driving traffic to your site. Use these methods consistantly and you should see increased traffic and sales of your products and services.

"He had always made very clear that he was accountable to a board of elders," said Ron Wheeler, who attended Mars Hill briefly in the late nineties and worked alongside Driscoll, together starting the church-planting organization, Acts 29, that Mars Hill was later sacked from. "He said that if at any point he needed to step down or change, he would submit to a democratic process. But on the sly, he had the bylaws rewritten, reconfigured the elders, and pushed out certain people."

Back in 2008, I revised the Marvel Encyclopedia for DK Publishing. That meant taking the original version of a book written by Tom DeFalco, Peter Sanderson, Tom Brevoort, Michael Teitelbaum, Daniel Wallace, and Andrew Darling—and revamping and updating most of the entries. I also wrote a slew of new material for the book and nearly melted a keyboard trying to get it all ready to help celebrate Marvel's 70th anniversary in 2009. We just made it.
Fast forward five years, and it's the same thing all over again, only this time we're pushing to have it ready in time for Marvel's 75th anniversary instead. It sounds like a simple enough assignment: read five years of Marvel comics and update each entry that needs it once again. Add more pages for the most popular characters on top of that, and throw in a bit of perspective while you're at it.
Sure, there are worse assignments than having to read five years worth of comics in a few months, but wow, Marvel puts dozens of comics every month. That quickly adds up to stacks of reading you wouldn't want collapsing on you for fear of having the life crushed out of you. Still, it's a fantastic and fun universe, and I'm always grateful to be able to spend some time in it, especially when it has a purpose like this.
One of the great delights of going to visit Disney Studios last month was seeing the last edition of the book in a couple different spots. For one, it was on sale in the Disney gift shop right there on the premises, and I even signed a copy for one of my fellow bloggers.
Better yet, my friend Dave Wallach spotted a copy on the shelves of the Disney Archives. When I was in there later, listening to recordings of P. L. Travers discussing Mary Poppins with the Sherman brothers, I looked over and spotted the book sitting right behind the main desk in the room, right at eye level for the woman sitting there. I mentioned it to the man giving the presentation, and he was pleased to tell me they'd gotten a lot of great use out of the book over the years.
The brand-new 2014 edition of the Marvel Encyclopedia isn't supposed to be out until St. Patrick's Day, but it looks like most retailers already jumped the gun. There's no reason to wait politely yourself, so get yourself down to your local bookstore, and grab yourself a copy. If you love Marvel Comics, you'll love this book too—maybe as much as I loved working on it.

text: Have any of you guys ever considered starting a business selling lawn equipment or atleast wanted to? Would you be able to give yourself deals? I was thinking it would be weird selling to your competitors and hard to operate both businesses, but the big company in my town has a seperate guy for the plow section of the company, and he has his own truck. The company he has is called Mr. Plow. The main company is Flory's. He runs all grasshoppers. I always thought they were mainly for wide open areas, but he bags them. I guess if you sold mowers, you could open the business in another town. If you opened at your current maintenance location, do you think it would be worth it? I'm interested to hear what you all think. Also, what three brands of mowers would you most like to sell and what one brand of handheld equipment? -Nick Howard

Susan Sontag Quotes About CultureQuotes about: Culture
The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.
Part of the puzzle, surely, lies in the disconnect between official rhetoric and lived realities. Americans are constantly extolling "traditions"; litanies to family values are at the center of every politician's discourse. And yet the culture of America is extremely corrosive of family life, indeed of all traditions except those redefined as "identities" that fit in the larger patterns of distinctiveness, cooperation, and openness to innovation.
Today is such a time, when the project of interpretation is largely reactionary, stifling. Like the fumes of the automobile and of heavy industry which befoul the urban atmosphere, the effusion of interpretations of art today poisons our sensibilities. In a culture whose already classical dilemma is the hypertrophy of the intellect at the expense of energy and sensual capability, interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art.
War is a culture, bellicosity is addictive, defeat for a community that imagines itself to be history's eternal victim can be as intoxicating as victory. How long will it take for the Serbs to realize that the Milosevic years have been an unmitigated disaster for Serbia, the net result of Milosevic's policies being the economic and cultural ruin of the entire region, including Serbia, for several generations? Alas, one thing we can be sure of, that will not happen soon.
One task of literature is to formulate questions and construct counterstatements to the reigning pieties. And even when art is not oppositional, the arts gravitate toward contrariness. Literature is dialogue: responsiveness. Literature might be described as the history of human responsiveness to what is alive and what is moribund as cultures evolve and interact with one another.
Jews and homosexuals are the outstanding creative minorities in contemporary urban culture. Creative, that is, in the truest sense: they are creators of sensibilities. The two pioneering forces of modern sensibility are Jewish moral seriousness and homosexual aestheticism and irony.

Chennai:Young Indian seam bowler Laxmipathy Balaji, who played a vital part in India's first away series win against Pakistan, today credited coach John Wright for his superb performance across the border. The 22-year-old Tamil Nadu star attributed his performance to Wright's "fatherly advise" and useful tips from senior colleagues. "Wright in particular motivated me often with his pep talks like 'you are too good a bowler. You are better than others'.... Apart from motivating me with such words, he also taught me to bowl differently to different batsmen," Balaji said. Key bowler The youngster emerged as a key strike bowler for India in the absence of injured Zaheer Khan, taking six wickets in the ODIs and 12 in the three Tests against Pakistan. He also came good with useful knocks on a couple of occasions in the one-dayers, including the memorable six of Shoaib Akhtar, which won him praise from none other than Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf. Balaji, whose childhood dream was to play for the country, is well aware of the need for a fast bowler to maintain fitness. Focus on batting He also wants to focus on improving his batting skills, apparently setting sights on emulating the legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev. "Hard work on fitness by running and physical exercises keeps me fit. At this level only the fittest survive and I say this to myself when I retire to bed every night," Balaji said. Stating that there was no substitute for hard work, he said he had been following the rigid schedule of physical training laid down by the team trainer. Balaji, whose absence in the Tamil Nadu team was felt very much in their Ranji final against Mumbai last month, was also very appreciative of his seniors. 'Seniors helped me' He said the frequent bowling tips from seniors like captain Saurav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble helped him to remain focussed. "As for the Pakistan tour and the seniors' tips, I was gaining ground and confidence match by match. With confidence level improving, the rhythm and motivation also improved. These gave a boost to my performance everytime I bowled," he said. On his interaction with former Pakistani speedster Waqar Younis, Balaji said: "I spent just about two minutes with him. I sought suggestions on how to maintain a tight line and length while bowling to right-left combination of batsmen and also on strengthening my leg." Dedicating his success to all his well-wishers, Balaji, who was lucky to have won the berth in the Indian team for the Australian tour after Mumbai's Avishkar Salvi pulled out due to injury, said he was able to show maturity thanks to the advise and tips from seniors. Dream come true For Balaji, being a member of both the ODI and Test squads that registered memorable series win in Pakistan is more than a dream come true. "My mother used to tell me that India should defeat Pakistan. To be actually part of the series winning team has made be very happy," he said. He also said the 15-day fitness camp in Bangalore where the focus was on physical training and no cricket had helped him. "I always follow the same schedule to be always fit." Asked about his future plans, Balaji said after a fortnight's rest, he would resume the rigorous practice and physical exercises. (PTI)

Seriously… this is boring stuff to most people. HOWEVER, you might learn something and appreciate the work that people with higher IQs than I put into it.
Today The Wesleyan Church released the 2012 Discipline. (I'm sure the New York Times Book Review took note.) Here is the link to the announcement. They're even doing a giveaway (which really could rival Oprah's Favorite Things giveaway.)
Yes, there is nothing quite so ponderous as a denominational polity and doctrine manual. Each denomination and their ecclesiocrats seem to revel in publishing these quadrennial (or some: annual!) doorstops of dogma. But… pause with me to note a few things that I, as a bit of a doctrine nerd, and Church appreciator, and fresh ecclesiocrat myself, have found noteworthy in this release:
1) This Discipline has undergone some of the most significant changes since the 1968 merger of our denomination between the Pilgrim Holiness Church and the Wesleyan Methodist Church.
2) Despite all the many changes, Ron McClung from our Communication and Administration Division and his crack team of polity wonks & grammatical geniuses somehow still got the thing updated, edited, approved and printed BEFORE our General Board meetings in mid-November. Most of you don't think that's a big deal, I know. Anyone I've told that has ever been involved in the process (a select few, most of whom didn't get paid enough to do what they did) have been amazed by this. As I say of Ron: "He puts the Administration in Communication."
3) The Discipline is now offered not only in print but also for download by e-readers… so that nerds like me who also want to appear trendy might look up portions on our iPads instead of carrying around the tome with us all the time. I'm not saying anyone is doing devotions out of the thing–but it is nice to "have on hand" when you need it (speaking as an Ordained Wesleyan here.)
4) For those that crave the physical copy and the fine paper or want to complete your set of Disciplines stretching from 1912 this quadrennium's model comes in a fine hardback burgundy color (In what I imagine is an effort to kill two birds with one stone and demonstrate austerity measures, I suspect they have taken all the old expensive burgundy furniture of Headquarters and stripped off the upholstery in order to create these fine Disciplines. I can't confirm this but just speculating.)
5) The Discipline is out before CHRISTMAS! So now you know what to get as stocking stuffers for all those future District Superintendent Emertii grandchildren you have, or for your kids that are far from Christ but you want to inspire them with the Doctrine of The Wesleyan Church so that some day they serve as delegates to General Conference. (Yes, I'm making a joke here, but ask me some time about the testimony of my Uncle Jon–as the above joke is actually pretty close to his personal testimony of coming to Christ and in 2012 serving as a delegate to General Conference to the shock of all who knew him when he was young.)
6) They are even offering a free excerpt of The Discipline in order to tease us all with the drama that unfold in the full copy. The excerpt, like a movie trailer, begs these questions: a) Will the one General Superintendent model enable The Wesleyan Church to be the awesomest denomination in the entire universe? b) Do all the names of The Wesleyan Church around the world make sense to Western ears? c) Is the Judiciary section longer than the Articles of Confederation of the United States of America? d) Are Wesleyan megachurches whose attendance are in fact larger than all the attendance of the other churches in their districts combined now able to hire and fire any pastor within 77 miles of their building? e) Are District Superintendents now able to dress up like Catholic Cardinals with the funny hats and all and make us call them "Bishop"? Well, I hate to spoil the surprise but the answer to all the above is, perhaps sadly, no. So there are fewer cliffhangers than one might like, truthfully.
6) MEANWHILE, you can use the Discipline like a Where's Waldo hunt by looking for all the cursory locations where the "Chief of Staff" (Yours Truly as of now) is mentioned in it. I've noted that it usually says, or should say, something like: "This is the guy who is in charge of the Complaint Department and who should be blamed if everything fails."
But seriously… the Discipline is out and I'm proud of all those who worked so very hard on it, even if you think it's boring I'm impressed! Go get one or read the free excerpt here. They're giving them away free when you call in (and another one next week I hear.)

So we've ramped up testing to a small group of alpha players, and testing cross platform play. Some things we've found along the way is that pickups are critical to early-game success. As the players level up, the relevance of the pickups becomes less, but is never totally removed.
What was most interesting, was just how much adding a temporary speed boost changed gameplay. Players suddenly started rushing for the speed boost, whereas the heavier vehicle players seemed to go more for the damage multipiers.
The AI players are still coping, but new gameplay changes have left them unaware of basic tricks to greatly improve their evasion and killing abilities. We'll be making changes to the AI shortly!

ClipperCreek's LCS-20 EV charging stations are among the most popular in the United States. The 16 Amps of power (3.8kW) makes it a perfect level 2 charging station for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) like the Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius Prime.
The LCS-20P comes with the four most common residential 240V supply power plugs. Some customers will be able to use an existing receptacle and it will cost virtually nothing to install. If a customer does not have a pre-existing receptacle, a licensed electrician can wire one in. ClipperCreek® uses 25′ cables in all our charging stations, potentially saving our customers more money. The LCS-20 has an integrated cable wrap – to keep the unit off the floor. All ClipperCreek® EV charging stations also come with a very durable, low-profile holster to hold the connector close to the wall and out of the way. ClipperCreek® stations require no assembly, just mount it to the wall, connect power and start charging.
Christopher Alan, EV industry expert and publisher of Electric Car Insider Magazine commented on the LCS-20 recently saying, "A couple thoughtful design features make it clear that ClipperCreek® designers have enough experience to understand the little details that make the charger easier to use. The company's reputation for reliability is well deserved. This reporter's experience has been that they operate flawlessly. The LCS-20 is made in America, has ETL Certification and comes with a 3 year warranty."
LCS-20 Hardwired
LCS-20P with NEMA L6-30 plug
LCS-20P with NEMA 14-30 plug
LCS-20P with NEMA 14-50 plug
LCS-20P with NEMA 6-50 plug
How does the 16 Amp Level 2 LCS-20 and LCS-20P stack up against other 16 Amp EV charging stations on the market?
