Grizzlies women's volleyball keep rolling
January 21, 2013
January 20th, 2013 – Peteroborough, ON – The Georgian Grizzlies women's volleyball team has been on fire as of late having won four straight OCAA games and had a chance to improve their ranking with a pair of big games against Fleming and Trent on the weekend.
The Grizzlies headed into Peterborough Saturday looking to keep rolling as they faced the Fleming Knights.
Georgian was able to control the play against the home team Knights winning the first two sets 25-17 and 25-14. The Excalibur were able to battle hard in the third set but the Grizzlies were able to wrap up the match with a 25-23 final set win.
Natalie Buck led the Grizzlies with 13 points while Veronica Harrison had 5 digs to help Georgian to victory.
The win set up a big match against the Trent Excalibur on Sunday.
Both teams knew what was on the line in this match as the Grizzlies and Excalibur were neck and neck in the standings.
Trent was able to make the first blow taking the first set, but the Grizzlies were able to strike back to take the next two sets to claim a 2-1 lead.
The Excalibur weren't about to give up this game and were able to battle back with a fourth set win to set up a big fifth set tiebreaker.
Both teams battled back and forth but it was the Grizzlies who were able to pull off a dramatic 17-15 set win to claim the 3-2 victory.
The win moved the Grizzlies into a three-way tie for 2nd place in the eastern division standings. Georgian is now on a six game winning streak and have a 11-3 record on the season.
The Grizzlies return home this weekend for a pair of huge games against the east division leading Durham Lords (12-1) on Saturday at 1pm before hosting the Cambrian Golden Shield (11-2) at 12pm. The pair of games will have a big impact on the OCAA standings coming down the stretch.

That's it everyone. I'm done with school for the year. I handed in my last paper yesterday afternoon and have been sleeping, listening to music, and watching television ever since! It's going to be a good ol' summer, I can feel it. I head back east to CT for a few weeks and then embark on my NYC couch surfing summer adventure! I'll be working at the Colbert Report and living with about 4 different people throughout the next few months. Should be good times! …I hope they have internet…
So anyway, listen up. I. Love. Wild Beasts. Love 'em. Can't get enough of 'em. "Hooting and Howling" off their 2009 sophomore album was my straight up jam for months. Vocalist (along with other instruments…) Hayden Thorpe has this voice that I can hardly handle. It's like one part indie, two parts opera and I can't get enough of it. I haven't really been able to pinpoint exactly where his vocals take me, but I keep getting visuals of like, the Mediterranean in … like… 800 BCE. Rome. Or Greece maybe. I actually have no fucking idea what I mean by that, but it's not a stretch for me to have Homer narrate some sexy play in my head about a epic battle or some shit, with Thorpe's vocals dripping all over it. Let's move on.
Wild Beasts released their new album Smother today and I've been drinking it up like cold bottle of Jarritos limón. As I stated in a snippet about the single "Albatross" a few weeks back here,
After a brief and false-ending drop off, "Albatross" resumes and immediately fills me with… well.. to be honest… it fills me with a deep longing and melancholy that sort of burrows down deep into my chest cavity and starts to gnaw away at my vital organs. Just go with me on this one guys.
Do you feel me or what?
Smother is just… it's just… beautiful… What else can I say? You can just swim through tracks like "Burning," or groove out to "Bed of Nails." Although for the most part Wild Beasts have moved away from the bouncy playfulness present in that latter track that was also common of Two Dancers, they have hardly strayed from their ability to wring pure emotion out of listeners with only minimal prodding of piercing lyrics. In "Lion's Share," Thorpe quips, "'Cause it's a terrible scare/ but that's why the dark is there/ see you don't have to see what you can't bear." The album is mostly coated in melancholy, but secretly harbors passion, love, and hopefulness. It's like a little private thing we're in on with the band.
The album closes with the 7:33 minute "End Come Soon," which is, you know, reflexive and cute and shit, but also incredibly thoughtful and elegant and touching and tear-jerking. It's just an album though! I can just play it again! Stop it you guys! Why are my eyes leaking?
So. That's all. Go buy it! It's dope, take it from me. Certified dope.
Happy Summer Vacation everyone! (Or just happy May 10th for you grownups and whatnot)

An Esoteric Guide to Spencer Brown's Laws of Form #4
« Previous Page | 1 2 3 4 | View All | Next Page »
Now, later, GSB gets into some of these details. For example he shows that:
LoF p. 40
This is his Theorem 13. Taken esoterically, this principle is seen in how ontology+epistemology (as a unity) flows from higher levels to lower; i.e. all existence and knowledge is derivative (generative based on higher order principles). I.e. "As Above, So Below" (which is only half of the story).
Then we have his Theorem 14:
LoF p. 40
- From any given expression, an equivalent expression not more than two crosses deep can be derived.
Esoterically, ACTUAL knowledge can be traced back to higher order realms. That is, the indication of Theorem 13 can be actually carried out starting with ANY knowledge. In other words, because all knowing is derivative, it can lead back to its origins. But to discover this actually, for any particular knowing, we must, in the language of GSB, cross. Esoterically, of course, this is recognition of the principle that transformation is an activity, and one that can be cultivated. All of esoteric work is simply an elaboration of the injunction: cross. This adds the second half of the story missing above: "As Below, So Above".
This has further consequences.
LoF p. 41
- From any given expression, an equivalent expression can be derived so as to contain not more than two appearances of any given variable.
This is GSB's Theorem 15. Esoterically, this is the principle of the archetype: knowledge instantiates the activity of archetypes, and these archetypes are ALWAYS a unity, that unity being given by their form of distinction. Multiple instantiations of a given archetype in different areas of knowledge are not separated, but can always be seen as participating directly in that single archetype. This is to say that an archetype can never be distinct from itself. You can perhaps see how, from an esoteric point of view, this is implicated in the above discussion about hierarchy and transformation, and the relation between universal law and its expressions from the near the beginning of this exploration.

Hi friends, it was July 1, 2015 that we last saw Marta's big ones bouncing in a BaDoinkVR movie.
Oh, man… what a long year!
And, wow… comparing these two efforts highlights BaDoinkVR's considerable progress.Truth is, all the studios have come a long way in a short time.
And, BaDoinkVR really blasted to the next level some months back (with their release of Heart Shaped Ass).
Let me add: you can now get a one day BaDoinkVR trial for a buck. These offers generally are short-lived, so if this appeals to you: get on it, man.
All right.
Let's do this thing…
Studio: BaDoinkVR
Title: Treasure Cunt
Release Date: July 21, 2016
Stars: Marta LaCroft
Length: 25 minutes
Main sex positions: clothed teasing, handjob, blowjob, tit fuck, female masturbation, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl
Formats: Mobile LQ 1.8GB; Mobile HQ 2.7GB; Oculus HQ 5.3GB; Samsung LQ 3.5 GB.
Genre: Hardcore sex VR porn, GFE girlfriend experience VR porn
Reviewed using: Gear VR + Galaxy S7
1. … are fans of Marta LaCroft and/or pretty-faced brunettes with enormous bouncy ones…
2. … are fans of gals who are… how should I say this? Um, thick in a GOOD way!
You fellas know what I mean! A slender, shapely woman with big ole boobie bouncers complemented by a big, beautiful backside and… you know… a gal like a juicy porterhouse steak, man!
Yea, I like Marta!
3. … are fans of a really long ponytail… yes, Marta's ponytail is unusual and horny enough to get its own line here.
4. … are looking for an eye-contact VR… and, most VR porn viewers actually crave this sort of eye contact intimacy. Well, you get it here. Excellent, plentiful eye contact!
5. … are looking for a realistic scale that just feels right.
6. … are looking for a VR porn that consistently closes the distance and feels very immediate
7. … did I mention those enormous Marta nipples? Oh, man!
Official Movie Synopsis:
Let's see how the BaDoinkVR boys describe this latest Marta effort:
…so what better way to show your appreciation than a little scavenger hunt for your anniversary – especially if the final gift for her is inside your pants.
Experience Marta's tight pussy in virtual reality, as she works hard for her present and you give it to her all over her beautiful big tits.
She's got great VR instincts.
And, yea, I'm going to say it again: great boobie bouncers! Mesmerizing mammary monsters!
Reviewing Method:
These reviews are based upon three main factors:
2. The scaling: do things look correct and proportional? Generally, the viewer wants a real-life feel.
3. Positioning: of the women and cameras. Close-ups are much-desired. It's also great to get some variety of sexual positions. Eye contact is also considered critically important by most.
All right, let's talk about what was done right in this movie and where there's room for improvement:
1. Marta LaCroft: Well, friends… I ain't gonna tell you what sort of gal should get your man motor murmuring.
As for me, a woman with gargantuan gal gobbies, a big ass, a skinny waist and a pretty face. Yea, you get the idea.
Marta works for this fella. Glad to see her back in a VR.
And, I'll tell you something Marta does as good as any porn gal in VR. Eye contact. Yep, Marta intuitively understands how to engage with the VR rig. Brilliant!
2. Scaling: Beautiful. It felt soooo right.
3. General clarity: Very good on the close, tight footage. The clarity, as usual, will decrease as the actress moves further from the camera.
4. 3D, sound, color, light: Mostly fine. What I've noticed with the BaDoinkVR boys is that if there's a shortcoming—at least for me—it'll usually be insufficient lighting: which then affects the color.
Here, the lighting was good as natural light flooded in from the room's huge windows on the left.
5. General story line: All right, guys looking for a VR flavored by the whole girlfriend experience dealio… well, here you go!
As for me, I ain't too much for GFE stuff. I mean, the point of porn is to circumvent the whole girlfriend experience!
6. Positioning: All right, the cowgirl felt awesome.
Well, there was a proper scale and an immediate-tight-close-hugging-smothering sort of feel. Exactly what you want.
And, it was Marta being a cowgirl… OH, Marta baby! And, that ass!
What really made this movie golden—as seen below—is Marta's intense eye contact which she held while doing just about everything. Honestly, other VR porn gals should watch this movie.
So, the eye contact was great. And, Marta's ass while reverse cow… well, that's pretty great too.
And, all that's left is your declaration:I wanna fuck Marta! NOW!!!

Location: Pest Management Research
Project Number: 3032-22000-016-05-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jun 1, 2013
End Date: Sep 30, 2014
Objective is a second year of evaluation of the efficacy of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae Strain F52 (Novozymes Biologicals, Salem VA) as a grasshopper population management tool. This fungus and its emulsifiable concentrate formulation are registered by US EPA but for targets other than grasshoppers, and use patterns other than Page 3 rangeland/ improved pasture.
Evaluation will consist of a field trial in which replicate plots of 2.5 acres will be separated with 200-foot insecticide treated buffer zones to minimize grasshopper immigration/emigration in the plots. The fungus formulation, an emulsifiable concentrate, will be applied broadcast to the plots; a chemical standard and earlier control treatments will be included, for a total trial size of 57 acres including buffers. Total area treated with the fungus will be 10 acres, the maximum allowed without an Experimental Use Permit from EPA. Materials will be applied in an aqueous spray on 25 foot swaths using All-Terrain Vehicles adapted from herbicide application configurations. Grasshopper populations will be estimated in each plot using replicated "ring counts" just before treatments, and again 7, 14 and 21 days post-treatment. Insects will be collected immediately after sprays and again 3,7 and 14 days later, and incubated in the laboratory to assess prevalence of the fungus in the target population. Vegetation samples taken 0, 1, 2, 4, and 7 days post-treatment from fungus-treated and control plots will be bioassayed with grasshoppers to assess persistence of the fungus post application. Grasshopper body temperatures will be recorded using thermal surrogates connected to data logging devices; the surrogates will be placed in microhabitats and postures typical of the grasshoppers in the test. UV-A and UV-B will be measured during the persistence portion of the trial to understand persistence.

| Munz chapter 1 . 11/4/2014
This is beautiful. Everything was great. I loved how they celebrated Marco's life but mourned his passing. Cassie and Jake getting back together during this would have made Marco super happy for both of them. I love it.
| AnonymouslyMyself chapter 1 . 10/19/2012
Simply beautiful
| meh chapter 1 . 11/2/2011
This is fabulous. It's so touching. Thank you for writing it :)
| a true animorph fan chapter 1 . 6/13/2010
reading this was like reading an extension of k.a. applegate herself, but i feel more passionate about this, my heart broke into a million pieces at then end of the real animorph series when jake and cassie didnt get back together and your story mended it back together perfectly. i love how you captured thier attitudes perfectly how we knew cassie would say things like that and how cassie never gave up the poop stain overrall part of her life and what was touching the most was how jake felt happy over that.
and please please do us a favor...write a book
| PurpleRanger101 chapter 1 . 2/26/2010
This was really really good. You captured Jake and Cassie perfectly. I really enjoyed it.
| EldestofFiveSisters15 chapter 1 . 8/17/2009
GREAT STORY! Allthough personally i hate the idea off Marco dieing even though it did bring Cassie and Jake back together. But Marco dies because he wants to do his own stunt... COME ON! MARCO YOU ARE AN IDIOT! thanks for reading my review *:D*
| Uzamaki Hinata chapter 1 . 1/22/2009
*claps* Wow, I just, I don't know what else to say except wow. Wow at your fanfic, wow at how you fit all the characters together and wrote them in a way that Animorph fans should be proud to read. Wow at how you got Jake and Cassie back together and how you got what was left of the Animorphs back together for Marco's funeral. Wow at all the powerful words and powerful things that you wrote about in this fanfic. Wow at the sadness of it all that seemed to be sprinkled with bits of hope here and there.
Though overall, this one-shot was sad, it showed hope as well. It showed us, the readers, that in the end, the Animorphs would live. That in the end, the Animorphs would survive. That in the end, the Animorphs would, well, be themselves.
I probably sound extremely cheesy lol, but your fanfic is worth it. It's extremely well written and the story itself is really good and deep too. So, yeah, wow. Wow, wow, wow.
| kola chapter 1 . 12/8/2008
very well written. I hope you write your own stories.
| mr chapter 1 . 12/1/2008
| Pogo KW chapter 1 . 8/24/2007
Wow. That was one of the most well-written fanfics I've read. Good job.
| ImpNo1 chapter 1 . 8/9/2007
One of the best stories i've read yet. Really sad and really touching. Thank you.
| xxtigergirlxx chapter 1 . 7/8/2007
aww.. thats so cute emio7!
probably 1 of the best stories ive read... its really good!
| Estrid2006 chapter 1 . 7/6/2007
who r u kidding emi07? tht was one of the best stories i have ever read from animorphs! i can't believe you wouldn't think tht was good! i loved it...have i stressed that enough for u? one more time...i loved tht story!
| Tarien Lakilea Tel'anor chapter 1 . 5/10/2007
The best part was when Jake says "you all know me." Such a contrast to the beginning of the books when no on knew who he was. And I loved how you built up the ramblings of the human emotions running through the mind.
| Terenia chapter 1 . 3/29/2007
I loved this fic. I was very pleasantly surprised, normally I am not a fan of post 54 fics, but you're portrayal of Jake's emotions was powerful and believable. Great job!
Kind of a strange death for Marco, but I can see him being eager to do his own stunts. He liked to show off. :)
Again, great job.

Atlanta Braves reliever Jonny Venters, who hasn't thrown a pitch this regular season, will miss the 2013 season following the second Tommy John surgery of his career.
In his first two years with the Braves (2010-11), Venters was simply incredible as the primary setup man to Billy Wagner (in 2010) and Craig Kimbrel (in 2011), striking out 189 hitters in 171 innings and a 70.4% groundball rate over those two seasons with a vicious fastball/slider combination. But something happened last year, and Venters' velocity dropped below 94 while his groundball rate fell and he allowed twice as many homers in 58 2/3 innings as he did in those first two years combined.
The finger of blame will likely be pointed at Braves managers Bobby Cox and Fredi Gonzalez, who ran Venters straight into the ground during his first two years. His 171 innings pitched from 2010-11 were second in baseball among relievers behind just Tyler Clippard of the Nationals, and he doesn't have anything near the injury history that Venters does.
Where does he go from here? Well, I'm assuming that Atlanta will end up non-tendering Venters after the season. He still has two years of team control left, but the Braves are going to need every cent of available payroll to potentially rebuild their rotation with Tim Hudson and Paul Maholm both reaching free agency after the year. Venters is making $1.625 million this season, and guaranteeing a reliever coming off of his second Tommy John surgery any sort of money similar to that is something that I don't think any team would do. He'll likely end up catching on somewhere on a minor league deal, and if he can regain his 2010-11 form in the second half of 2014, some team may be getting a real bargain.
Atlanta's bullpen probably isn't losing much without Venters for the rest of the year, as Jordan Walden has stepped into Venters' eighth inning role and dominated, despite was his 4.85 ERA might tell you. With Cory Gearrin and Eric O'Flaherty pitching like themselves as well, the Braves pen likely won't miss a beat after the news that Venters' season is over.

This is an emergency macro I use to burst healers. I know alot of people think that connecting something similar to charge is good but I will explain why its not as effective.
1.) The purpose is a full DPS shock/burst, there for connecting this to charge is not as good because you can build Rage for your burst with charge and a few melle swing while the Warbringer Stun is active, it is important not to use any Slam, Heroic Strike, cleve, or anything else that uses Rage.
2.) Once you get to around 45 rage pop this macro facing the target, if you miss Shockwave you missed a big part of the burst, and if the healer/player trinkets, fear them, so they tremble in place.
If you do this correctly you will have enough rage to destroy the target with those crazy Recklessness crits.
#Showtooltip Shockwave /use Dreadful Gladiator's Badge of Victory /cast Berserker Rage /cast Recklessness /cast Skull Banner /cast Avatar /cast Shockwave
Lol its work, i can kill everyone with it. haha

Anyone used this aerator?
I got a ryan, but that aerator looks like it would do fine. Make sure it don't leak anything once it gets good and hot and give it to her! Once you get really busy get a stick edger, they are so fast and loading gets old with the wheeled ones. Keep the big one tho for really bad jobs, you'll be glad you have it. I wish I had an aerator when I started, took me 3 years to get one. Love it, and it is SO worth the customer's money. I complain about loading an edger, but running an aerator will kill a guy come the second or third day for sure. You need a gorilla to run em like that.

Your web hosting provider uses an operating system (OS) to run their servers, just you run an OS on your personal computer. While Linux-run servers are the majority among web hosts, hosts with Windows-driven servers are becoming more common for some websites.
That's due in no small part to the growing popularity of Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP). Now in its third iteration, ASP is a scripting language you can use to create dynamic and interactive Web applications.
ASP was created to work with Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS). IIS is a built-in Windows component that handles web server and other Internet functions within the Windows operating system.
What is ASP?
ASP is a versatile server-side scripting language. It can be used to create interactive websites, code standalone applications, access databases (such as MySQL or Microsoft Access databases), combine HTML pages, or even to perform simple user customizations like displaying the local date and time for each visitor to a page.
It's important to keep in mind that ASP, now also called "ASP Classic," should not be confused with its successor, ASP.NET, which was first released in 2002. ASP.NET has many of the same features as ASP, but incorporates a more stable foundation based on Microsoft's .NET server technology.
Both ASP Classic and ASP.NET languages still remain popular, though. Several famous websites, including Yahoo Music and Newegg.com, run on ASP Classic, as well as Microsoft.com. Anytime you see a URL ending in ".asp", you're seeing an ASP-generated web page. Many other pages rely on ASP as well, but use URL redirection to masks its use.
Microsoft has promised continued support for ASP for at least a decade following the release of Windows 8, giving developers and users alike plenty of time to make any necessary upgrades to and replacements on their proprietary and hosted systems, and upgrade to ASP.NET if they wish.
Advantages of ASP Hosting
ASP hosting is a good option if you need interactive web pages and applications that are powerful, yet easy to create and maintain, especially if you use other Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Office Suite, with your web content.
Because ASP is a server-side scripting language, it requires a web server to execute its tasks. The web server is provided by Microsoft's IIS, so if your site relies on ASP for its content, you'll need a Windows server hosting option.
If you use other Microsoft web-friendly products like Office and Exchange Server, integrating your web content with your communication and collaboration systems is a snap.
Choosing an ASP-ready Host
The vast majority of hosting service providers run their servers using UNIX or Linux-based operating systems, such as CentOS. While the reverse is true when it comes to personal computers, the lightweight, free, and open-source features of the Linux OS makes it an ideal choice for most web hosts to run their servers.
But Linux can't do everything, and isn't the ideal option for everyone. ASP-run websites can be a better depending on your website needs and preferences. And ASP can't run on Linux—it requires a Windows-based server.
Windows-based servers are in the minority, and require more investment on the part of the hosting provider. For that reason, you can expect to pay a little more for hosting than you would for a comparable level of UNIX-based hosting.
But it's worth the investment if you use Office and Exchange Server, or your site depends on Microsoft products or languages like Silverlight, Visual Studio or MS SQL (Microsoft's proprietary version of the Structured Query Language used in database programming) for content distribution or data collection.
If you're planning on running a website that relies on ASP, it's a good idea to check with your potential web host to be sure they can support your website and provide all the options you need.
ASP Hosting Frequently Asked Questions
What does ASP stand for?
ASP stands for Active Server Pages.
What is ASP?
An ASP file contains a combination of HTML and scripts to create dynamic web pages.
What is a server side script?
Server side scripts are executed on the server before the content is sent to the visitor's browser. This allows you to present customized content, without placing any load on the visitor's computer.
Is ASP a programming language?
No. ASP Classic and ASP.NET are frameworks that allow developers to use a number of languages to build websites. VB script or C# are common choices, but it supports variants of Java, Ruby, Python, c++, PHP, and others.
How do ASP Classic and ASP.NET differ?
There are a few important differences. ASP Classic uses interpreted scripts, but ASP.NET is compiled. That makes ASP.NET faster. ASP.NET supports more complex languages, and is more widely used than ASP Classic.
Why do ASP files have .asp or .aspx extensions?
Generally speaking, an .asp extension denotes a ASP Classic file. An .apsx extension indicates an ASP.NET file.
Who uses server side scripting?
Most common scripts, including popular CMS tools, include an element of server side scripting. You don't have to know how to code to use it.
What are the main alternatives to ASP?
Java and PHP are the most common alternatives, but Python and Ruby are gaining ground.
Can I use ASP on Linux?
In the vast majority of cases, ASP is installed on Windows. There are workarounds for Linux deployment, but they can be unstable and difficult to set up.
Does it cost more to use ASP?
Yes. Whenever you use a Windows technology, you will have to pay more compared to a Linux equivalent. This is because of the cost of software licenses. If you buy hosting, your host will roll up the cost into your monthly or annual subscription payment.
Why would I want ASP over other scripting languages?
If you already use Windows technologies, it makes sense to stick with the same toolset. If you're starting from scratch, there may be cheaper alternatives, providing you don't need to use Windows-specific functionality in your application.
What database technology is best used with ASP?
MS SQL is the obvious choice. It is also possible to use MS Access and others.
Why are Windows web hosting packages less popular?
There are two main challenges: cost and availability. Windows always costs more because of the price of the licensing. Additionally, fewer web hosting providers offer Windows packages.
If you plan to set up a blog, forum, or simple website, you may find it easier and cheaper to use PHP on Linux.
What is IIS?
IIS is Microsoft's web server software. ASP is installed as a module of IIS.
Can I code in ASP on my Windows PC?
Yes. In the control panel, under Programs and Features, you will need to review your Windows Features to ensure ASP and IIS are enabled. Check under Internet Information Services.

Along the way to achieving their dream, what people help them to success and how?
- print Print
- list Cite
Oh, Homer's dream is quite grand, isn't it! There are many people who help along the way, most notably friends and teachers.
Homer is the one who desires to build the rocket first, but if it weren't for the help of Quentin Wilson, it probably never would have happened. He is the class nerd, but he sure knows a lot about science and helps Homer with the research. Roy and Sherman (Homer's friends) help to a lesser extent, but the teacher Miss Riley is of the utmost support, giving them a rocket science book that helps them figure out the trajectory of rockets. We also can't forget Ike Bykovsky who was a shop worker who was IMPERATIVE in giving the boys the supplies for their rocketry. (It is Ike's death in the mine that disillusions many of the boys and especially Homer.) Even the principal, Mr. Turner, helps the boys by proving that the fire is NOT caused by the boys' rockets, but by a flare from the corresponding airfield! It is John and Mr. Bolden that use the shop to repair a nozzle stolen at the state science fair and help Homer (and friends) win! The boys name their highest rocket after Miss Riley who dies from cancer.
In conclusion, I should say that there is an irony that the mine that has trapped the boys in a life of despair is also the vehicle that allows them to succeed. Without the machinery in the mine shop, the rockets never would have soared!

Editors Note: In a year's time Kenyans will head to the general elections. All over the country anticipation is rising; momentum is building and alliances shaping up. Aspirants are declaring their interests. From MCA wannabes to those interested in the presidency, our contributor Cecil Ambula tries to explore the possibility of getting a Nehemiah in Kenya.
Even as the political temperatures rise and euphoria builds, Kenyans must prepare to elect the right leaders. We must shift our thinking and decide to break the cycle.
That we will no longer go for those only full of promises yet deliver nothing but oppression. We must defeat the urge to be tribal and consider the greater need of the nation: unity, development, progress, equal opportunity etc.
READ ALSO: Politician attacked with acid, loses his sight
We must choose leaders not politicians, leaders like Nehemiah, who have a genuine concern for the welfare of the people. Nehemiah broke down and was devastated when Hanani his brother brought him news of the state of Jerusalem.
(Nehemiah 1:1-3). He informed him how the city's walls had been ruined and its gates burned. "When I heard these words I sat down and wept, and mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of heaven." Nehemiah 1:4.
Leaders must be moved to action by the needs of their followers. They must restore hope to the hopeless and help them escape the shackles of despair.

Nehemiah rose from his place of prayer knowing God had heard him and went on his way back to Jerusalem. He mobilised the people of the city and they rebuilt its walls and its gates. Nehemiah 6:15-16
Kenya needs leaders who will go beyond the promises and marshal the people to a common cause. Nehemiah 2:18 "...Then they said, "Let us start building!" So they committed themselves to the common good."
We need leaders who hear from God. Like Moses whom God elected to lead Israel out of Egypt to a promised land (Exodus 3:7-8), our leaders must move us from the present state of corruption, tribalism, poor infrastructure, hatred etc to a destination that promises peace, equal opportunity, good leadership, development.
The leaders we elect must be visionaries. Proverbs 29:18 says, "Without a vision, the people perish...." They should move us from the comforts of now, and beyond the comforts of tribalism, corruption, bad governance to a much better destination.
We need leaders who will not just issue manifestos but work on achieving them. We cannot always be laying the foundation, campaigning for the same things every election year. We must move. "You have skirted this mountain for so long, head north." Hear God's words to Moses and Israel in Deuteronomy 2:3.
READ ALSO: Musalia Mudavadi discusses joining Uhuru's Jubilee Party (JP)
We must elect leaders with courageous and humble hearts like King David. Not politicians who'll only seek to load it over the people by increasing their wages, raising taxes, looting from the public, grabbing land.
Listen to Nehemiah in Chapter 5:14-16. "Moreover from the time I was appointed a governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of king Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the food allowance of the governor.
The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens on the people, and took food and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.

Indeed I devoted myself to the work on this wall and acquired no land and all my servants were gathered there for the work." The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. (Proverbs 9:10).
As we countdown to the polls, let us heed Jethro's advice to his son in law, Moses in Exodus 18:21. "Furthermore, you shall select out able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens."

Saigon's are the best I have discovered in Albuquerque. They're like layered salads, with fresh lettuce and aromatic herbs on the bottom, warm rice noodles in the middle and a choice of grilled meats on top. It is topped with a sprinkling of chopped peanuts. The dish is served with a deliciously tangy fish sauce "dressing." It makes a quick, light, nutritious lunch for about $6 — one that I have often craved. Fancier dishes are excellent also, such as broiled catfish with fresh herbs and rice paper, or the lemon beef salad. Seafood noodle soup is a feast large enough for several people to share.

- HubPages Tutorials and Community»
- Overview of HubPages
Can HubPages Improve? 6 Improvements
Is it just me or is HubPages amazing? Yes? Well I'm glad you agree! That's why we spend so much time on here after all... But as good as it is (see here for more on exactly how good it is), It's still far from perfect - there are just some things that the good people at Hubpages were bound to miss out.
This hub hopes to tackle these issues so that maybe we can make some changes around here!
If you have any suggestions yourself, feel free to complain in the comments section!
1. Language Tutorials
Particularly for hubbers such as myself the freedom to write in other languages in order to create language tutorial hubs is perhaps the most irritating part of HubPages.
Even if you translate every foreign sentence into english, there's still a very good chance that your hub will be rejected on the grounds that it does not comply with hubpages regulations!
The improvement therefore is for HubPages to incorporate a recognition of "tutorial" hubs with different regulations than other hubs! Just like poems can be very short and still not be taken down for being substandard, tutorial hubs should be allowed more foreign words than regular hubs!
2. Language-Pages
And why stop there? Why can't HubPages stem off to accommodate an international audience too?
A HubPages.fr for example could allow around 128 million French speakers to appreciate the greatness that is HubPages.
Expanding their market could be very economical and not so much effort: having the same layout but everything translated into another language would only be a minor investment for the huge influx of people that would come because of it!
3. Copyright
Copyright is still a big problem on HubPages. People can easily just take your hub, reword it slightly (if it all) and publish it on another website. Then, it will be you who will have your hub taken down because HubPages does not allow your content to be published on two websites at once.
This is a very big problem and although there have been success stories where people have fought with the cheater and Google and managed to get the duplicated content removed, it always took them a lot of effort and a lot of time.
This is partly because the first call of action is to contact the person who ripped off your hub. This person will most likely ignore you completely because there is absolutely no reason for him to help you catch him out!
A quick-fix for this problem is to have the publishing date placed visibly on each of our hubs. This would make it so when people go on to our pages, they will be far less likely to copy.
Why? Because that way they know that the date was recorded, meaning that it would be impossible to pass the content off as their own from a previous date. If they say they wrote that article in 2012 then you can point to your own one that says it was published in 2009!
This idea does have a big drawback though - people on HubPages could easily copy other people's articles and then paste that content into hubs they had published a long time ago claiming it as their own. A fix for that is to have a 'snapshot' of each hub for the first time it was published. This snapshot would show the hub exactly as it was when it was first published.
This would allow for the HubPages community to have a quick-fix copyright solution for the content they originally published but not for the content they made after that - a compromise that would prove to be useful to most but not all members.
4. Copying Tables
The inability of HubPages to allow a way to copy tables (as far as I'm aware) is very disappointing.
Because tables provide a very nice and professional addition to any hub, it's frustrating that you can't re-use long and extensive tables in other hubs as well as not being able to simply move them to other hubs (to use a different URL or account).
Perhaps we can have a way of copying the URL of a previous hub into a search box that will find all of the tables in that hub (like finding your own hubs in the "my hubs" section when making links to websites).
Hopefully, HubPages is working on this one as we speak since it is a small ask with very large consequences.
5. Copying Capsules
Ever had a template capsule that you needed to use again and again in order to format your hub? Well why couldn't you just write the template in one capsule and then copy that capsule several times!
Such an easy function will enable us to save the time and trouble it takes us to copy and paste certain headings and structures we need in our hubs.
6. eBay Capsules
Lastly, eBay capsules are infamously irritating!
- Not being able to handpick individual items that you think are appropriate is irritating.
- Having to type "-cars", "-stephen hawking" only to get 3 of the same items is really irritating!
- Spamming "RIGHT NOW ON EBAY" if you want to use more than one eBay capsule is incredibly annoying!
Removing the "right now on eBay" tag and fixing it up so you can choose individual items would be great improvements.
What do you think?
Which is the most important improvement that you feel needs changing?
Wouldn't fresh comments contribute to 'fresh content'? I would have thought any addition would indicate the topic still had life. Makes you wonder about the value of 'evergreen' content.
Regarding the issue of general improvements to HP that are not dependent on Google, I would suggest a little more attention is paid to the hubs featured on the HubPages main page. I haven't bothered looking at the current hubs displayed because it frustrates when I see poor work featured so prominently. It doesn't always happen but it happens too often.
I enjoyed one of your featured hubs enough to click and read more of your work, Philanthropy 2012, but at the same time there was a spelling mistake on a summary featured by a different hubber - and numerous obvious mistakes throughout the hub.
I expect the landing page to display the best of the best. I suspect, however, that being an apprentice must automatically open that opportunity. It's a shame, because it drags down the first impression people get when they visit this 'writers' site.
Philanthropy2012 -
The purpose of ranking fresh content higher is due to Google's new algorithm to offer more timely and new content for search results.
This is why HP started including the "last change date" in each hub. There was a form thread where HP was posting as they were experimenting with that until they got it right. Google was picking up on the wrong date for a while. Do a Google search for "Google loves fresh content" and you will find a lot of info on it.
As for your question on Google Authorship, if you do a Google search for "claim your hubpages authorship" you'll find details including a hub I wrote about it.
Once you have your HP profile and Google profile linked to each other, Google will know who had it first when they find a duplicate of your hubs.
Thanks for your comment about my efforts. I try.
HubPages had been working on the date issue. As I recall from numerous forum posts a few months ago, they actually had a problem with Google picking up on the original publish date and dropping the SERPs due to the hubs being too old. As you may know, Google is pushing for ranking fresh content higher. So HP settled on including the "last change" date in each hub. I don't particularly care for that, but I understand why it helps.
As for your other point about people copying hubs and then having our own hubs taking down for duplication ... I found that Google seems to automatically drop listing duplicates in SERPS as long as we have claimed our authorship.
They have their own record of our hubs as they were when first published. If it appears anywhere else it never gets indexed. I discovered that when I stumbled upon a copy of my hub somewhere but HP never complained to me about having a duplicate.
With further investigation I found that that copy was not indexed in Google. I assume they caught it because I claimed my Google Authorship. That helps. Everyone should take advantage of that. HP made it easy now with the new profile initiated last year.
In a perfect world we wouldn't have to worry about dating our work or people stealing bits from our work, because people wouldn't do it out of pure moral obligation! I can't steal someone else's work...I would feel horrible!
I have had to get some content taken down from other websites. There is no way to describe how painful and frustrating it is to see your article (that you worked hard on) on someone else's site. I wish there was a way to instantly grab it and tear it down from their site. I think the date idea would definitely deter people from stealing content.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was a relaxing and rejuvenating long weekend for me.
For the past few weeks, Suppy has been coming over for a casual Sunday Supper. Good friends lessen the Sunday Blues and take the edge off of long, dark winter nights. (for other people who miss sunlight, December 21st is Winter Solstice, or the shortest day of the year. It will only get lighter after that :)
Tonight, I made veggie enchiladas, avocado and grapefruit salad, and chocolate chip cookies.
I also decorated our Christmas tree.
Happy Holidays!

Historical News
By: Eric Edman-BR+A
Some of you may recall in past newsletters, we had a great suggestion from one of the general members to do an article on the history of a product that was developed right here in Massachusetts. We believed this was a great suggestion!
Your historical committee set to work immediately to interview the product inventor in person, and write about this for your reading pleasure.
We hope you enjoy this special feature as much as we enjoyed writing about it. There are some interesting twists, and turns, in the process of developing a product, and, creating a world class company.
If any of you have creative thoughts, or suggestions on historical related items, please share these with us.
We always look forward to seeing you at our monthly meetings.
History of Phoenix Controls Company, and the Phoenix Venturi Air Valve
As it is with most products and inventions, things never start off - or turn out as intended. The journey towards an invention and its development can sometimes lead to some very interesting discoveries. As a young engineer, I was always intrigued in just how does a product go from an idea into a product that works in the HVAC marketplace. The story of one such device follows;
The founder graduated from MIT with a BSEE and MSEE and an interest in power electronics. At the time, in the early 1980's the variable frequency drive (VFD) or motor speed controller as we know it today was in its infancy. Mr. Sharp had started the IMEC company which had developed an early version of a VFD, he named this the Phoenix drive. It was a unique VFD- in that it could "catch" a motor still in rotation after a short power outage while other VFD's would shut down or "trip" after one of these commonly occurring short power outages. This ability to always "catch the rotating motor" after a power glitch was why it was called the Phoenix VFD -like the mythical bird that would be reborn and arise out of its ashes. However, the Phoenix drive was limited in motor size to only 1.5 horsepower. This made it challenging to find a useful market for a VFD this small of motor size. Sales were needed to keep the IMEC company going.
Being from MIT, Mr. Sharp decided to talk with some of the facilities people there to do some market research. He asked if there was an application for something like his small IMEC/Phoenix VFD. To his surprise, they indicated that on campus they had a chemistry building with lots of laboratory fume hoods connected to small single exhaust fans with VFD's controlling them. All aspects of motor size and application suited the IMEC/Phoenix VFD perfectly to make a great beta site, and potential useful market application. To help usher product development along, MIT was having problems with the existing VFD systems going off line after power loss/ system failure. The IMEC/Phoenix VFD product might just correct a whole host of problems. (For a time, this problem was so severe that facilities staff were stationed on the roof 24/7 to reset any VFD's that shutdown due to power outages/system failures) Well, they tried a prototype, and it worked fairly well.
Continuing to work with MIT Environment Health and Safety staff over the next year, the team refined the IMEC VFD application by experimenting and developing a way to maintain a constant fume hood face air velocity by first tracking the fume hood sash position with a "sash sensor". The exhaust fan motor's speed and fume hood exhaust air flow was then quickly, and linearly, varied to both save energy- yet maintain hood safety and capture efficiency.
Along came the mid 80's, newer HVAC designs for laboratories were moving towards a manifolded fume hood exhaust system using a larger fan system connected to many fume hoods and general room exhausts. For these systems, a single small horsepower drive (the IMEC limit was 1.5 hp) was not appropriate to control each fume hood or lab room's airflow, instead, some sort of a linear controlled damper or air flow control device was needed. At this point, the IMEC VFD was losing market to other VFD's. A new product was needed to control critical lab air flows. One of the early IMEC reps from Iowa had suggested looking into a product that was more than a damper - it was the MITCO venturi valve made in here in Massachusetts. The early concept new product started to take shape. A pressure independent, non-linear air flow control device with faster speed of response was born. One could even figure out position and with it linearize the flow to the input flow command. All the other product components were starting to come together. There was also the need to start up a new company as IMEC was being sold to another investor who was not interested in the lab airflow controls business. Looking to somehow utilize the only tradename he owned (the Phoenix drive), the "Phoenix Controls Company" was born in late 1985. IMEC was sold shortly afterwards.
Remember how we mentioned at the start of this article with a statement that inventions had courses and directions which were altered. Well, the IMEC/Phoenix VFD -the original namesake of the company, ended up taking a back seat and was eventually rendered obsolete. Other companies had developed new VFD's with equal, or better capabilities, while the Phoenix Controls Company (newly born) pursued buying MITCO venturi valves and rebuilding them with components to work in fume hood exhaust and lab supply air applications. Teflon coated parts, electronic controls and other components were added to make a more robust, and reliable- Phoenix Controls Company product. One day in the late 1980's, unannounced, the MITCO company suddenly went out of business. It was a defining event that finally moved (pushed) Phoenix Controls into being a true airflow controls valve supplier that made or controlled the manufacturing of all of its components. This ultimately led to a much-improved overall product. The Phoenix Controls Company has continued to do well and has continued with product enhancement with further developments thru the 1990's and 2000's. It was acquired by the Honeywell Corporation, and has relocated out of Newton, MA to Acton, MA.
Today the brand is known the world over as one of the foremost lab airflow controls companies.
During those early days in the 1980's it was perseverance, hard work, and some luck mixing together to create a company that really changed the marketplace for lab airflow control systems. Thru all of these eventful beginnings, the company has taken challenges to make opportunities. The market has had huge benefits in lab safety, device speed of response, energy savings and reliability.
Good people almost always succeed. This is one such success story.
About the Phoenix Controls founder:
Gordon Sharp was born and raised in Rochester, NY. He obtained his undergraduate degree at MIT and worked at Draper Labs in Cambridge, MA, while getting his graduate degree from MIT. He worked on fast responding servo controls for induction motors much like you see in today's electric cars (He drives a Tesla). He lives in Newton, MA with his wife, and has 4 children all residing in New England.
Data gathered for this article is from an interview. The product was developed in Massachusetts.

The Tiny Farm Co. (+ Giveaway!!!)
Once upon a time, I was a Noxema girl. And a White Rain girl. And a Wet & Wild girl (also, a 3 Muskateers bar and Mountain Dew girl, but that's another story for another day). This was years ago, when I was still in middle and high school and hadn't yet had a fateful encounter with a friend who introduced me to a whole new way of living. That way of living and doing and being, it turned out, was an all-natural, chemical-free one.
That friendship, and the new approach it offered, left an indelible mark on me. After meeting Laura, I started paying more attention to both what I ate and what I put on my body. We parted ways when I was 16, and moved across the state with my mom and brother, but the lessons learned from her and her family's orientation to life have left a lasting, life-long impression. I went on to work in a range of natural foods stores in my 20's, and then later pursued a degree in holistic nutrition (as well as another in sociology).
These days, if you were to peek inside my fridge, pantry, bathroom shelves, or medicine cabinet, you'd find a whole bunch of realness. Real ingredients, and super simple ones, at that. My beauty regimen, if you could even really call it that, goes like this: wash face with water, pat dry, put on Burt's Bees Repair Serum under eyes and Skin Fare during the day and The Dew (purchased from the recently shuttered Cisthene, sniff) mixed with pure coconut oil at night. Like I said, super, ultra simple. Make-up for me is a bit of Burt's Bees Raisin Lip Shimmer and, if I'm feeling really fancy, maybe a tiny bit of mascara.
That's why I love the products Ashley Smith of the The Tiny Farm Co. is producing. Based on a few acres in Arkansas, Tiny Farm Co. makes all-natural body and home care products, all by hand. Whether you're looking for an all-purpose soap cleaner, pet shampoo, bar soap, lip balm, wooden spoons, knit goods (coming soon!), or fresh eggs or veggies (if you're local), The Tiny Farm Co. has a lovely natural item for you. My personal favorite might just be their coconut oil bar soaps. Available plain or scented with lemongrass, sweet orange & pomegranate, or cedar wood, these soaps produce a thick lather and are deeply moisturizing. I speak from experience, as Ashley very generously sent me a package of goodies to sample, including three bars of soap, a tube of coconut oil lip balm (so, so good!), and some beautiful hand-burnished wooden kitchen spoons.
Now's your chance to experience Ashley's wonderful products for yourself! She's offering a Tiny Farm Co. care package to one lucky small measure reader. The package, shown above, includes: one bar of Coconut Oil Lemongrass Soap, one bar of Coconut Oil Tea Tree Soap, one bottle of All Purpose Liquid Soap, one tube of Coconut Oil Lip Balm, and one set of burned spoons. How fantastic is that? To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment sharing your favorite body care product. In addition to nicely scented body soap, I really, really love bath salts. So nice to slip into the tub and soak away whatever ails you.
I'll run the giveaway for one week, concluding May 21st, midnight EST. Please be sure to leave a means of contacting you in your reply, should you be the winner (email addresses are visible only to me when you're logged in for commenting, unless you write it as part of your comment).
Even if you don't win, Ashley's got something for you. On the website, she is currently offering a free gift with any order over $25. I'm telling you, those coconut soap bars are not to be missed!
Thanks, Ashley, and best of luck to you, dear readers!

Love everything posted about Ashley.,pictures and all!.very interested in getting her books and ordering from her site!
I really love those spoons. They at a ton of happiness to some really pretty boring utensils. I also really am interested in the soap bars.
I just started to use coconut oil… for everything, kind of. I was hesitant because it's exotic… but so good and in all these bottles you can buy there are way more exotic things…
Thanks for the introduciton, for sharing your little story and the chance to win!
My favorite body care item is plain ole coconut oil! I slather it on from head to toe and love it
Ooohhh I love sesame oil for massages and moisturizing. And I love my homemade hair rinse and winter forest bath salts. What a lovely giveaway!
I am a coconut oil devotee, love it as a moisturizer!
I love Burt's Bees intense moisture products for my dry dry skin and am always on the hunt for natural beauty products. These look great!
I love coconut oil, and these products are so lovely!!
I love handmade soaps! Oh and add coconut oil, glory! Thanks, gonna get Ashley on my instagram too!
This looks just lovely! My favorite body care product is good ol coconut oil because it's so darn useful and smells delicious. I use it as a moisturizer, hair mask, and more. + putting in my smoothies (separate jar don't worry-hah!) gives me a great boost of energy
Aside from coconut oil, I love to use honey! I use it to wash my face, I use it before washing as a mask, I dab a little on scrapes, and I use local raw honey to help ease seasonal allergies.
Just lovely, thank you! Fav body care product, my homemade body butter
I love bar soaps! It's so difficult to find good ones that don't dry my skin out. Also, those spoons are adorable! In love!
i love the natural stuff too–big fan of weleda products, especially their almond facial oil. it's heavenly!
I can't live without lip balm. When Burts Bess changed hands, and formulas, their lip shimmer no longer contained peppermint. I started making my own tinted balm, which has plenty of peppermint and a base of beeswax from my grandfather's honeybees. firstname.lastname@example.com.
What a great giveaway! I love trying different homemade and natural products, and these look exceptional! As others have said, coconut oil is also my favorite product. I mix it with a variety of essential oils for different needs. Clove oil on sore gums or teeth, lavender for the baby's bum and my sensitive face, tea tree for an aftershave moisturizer, rosemary for a hair mask, and the list goes on! thanks again for the opportunity and for spreading the herbal love. Big hugs!
Almond oil for washing my face. Feels so good to massage then take off with a warm washcloth.
Coconut Oil, and Burt's Bees on my lips! Always! Thanks for introducing me to The Tiny Farm Co!
I would love the opportunity to try out these beautiful products! I'm such a fan of simple, homemade skin care. I'm particularly interested in trying the lip balm.
My favorite: local goat milk soap
I love using jojoba oil as a moisturizer and homemade bath salts with essential oils!
I love coconut oil for moisturizing and I'd love to try her bar soaps!
Lotion! Lotion all the time! My skin gets very dry so I'm a lotion fanatic.
I love Morning Calm on Etsy – she makes natural products for sensitive skin. Her cleansing oil has made my face amazing clear!
I'm in Arkansas too! Love following both of you on Instagram. My favorite body care product has to be Burt's Bees peppermint lip balm. I love the little round tin and the tinted tubes (I currently have six different colors. Yikes!).
I am loving Yes to cucumbers soaps and lotions right now, so springy!
Sounds wonderful. Will check out the site!!!!
What a great giveaway and a beautiful company! My favorite product is willow bark face scrub.
Having turned 50 recently I have stopped seeking the fountain of youth in a $50 bottle of cream. Now I use Burt's Bee's products as much as I can and have gone to cleaning my face with the old tried and true product my Mom has always used. Pond's cold cream. I some times keep it in the fridge in the summer and so when I slather it on when the temps are high outside it feels so cool and refreshing. Hope I win. And Thanks for the chance.
I am a coconut oil believer.
I love hand made soaps because they smell so good and they are good for you. I love supporting local soap artisan people.
Body powders are the best in summer. I like powder with herbs crushed but add some cocoa powder and my hair looks clean as well.
Having just moved to the dry Colorado Rockies, I am I love with "tallows Touch" by Mother Makings on Etsy.
I love coconut oil–it's the only moisturizer I use now!
I would absolutely love to win the give away. Soaking in the tub is what is called for after working to build the family garden. And work keeping it going and then more work to harvest and process!
So, pick me!
Mary Ann
Yay! Looks lovely. Just started following on Instagram.
I would love to try the coconut oil products! Thanks so much for introducing me them!
Oh wow! This looks wonderful…definitely going to order!
Would love to try those soaps! Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
I love, love, love coconut oil and homemade soaps.
I am drawn to those lovely spoons! Cooking at home is a big part of my life! And we use coconut oil for everything! My husband recently made his own lip balm, too. Would love a chance to win those soaps – I'm a sucker for anything lemongrass or citrus! angelajmattson (at) gmail.com
I love homemade soaps. I would love to try out her products!
I've been looking for a good bar of soap and I love coconut oil, so that sounds like a lovely combination! I've tried a popular brand of soap (dr. B's) but it makes my skin so dry and itchy! Sad face….
Great products! and giveaway……….The coconut is just a phenomenal gift to us humans. From skin care products to cooking to kefir……….my goodness!
I have to pick a favorite!!!!???? I really love anything with goat milk because that seems to work really great on my dry skin. It's hard to find though. Lately I'm really into Fresh Soap Bakery products on Etsy (check her out! She's from NJ like me!). I first bought her stuff at a fair and have repurchased on Etsy. I like that I can (almost) exclusively use the products for my face and they are totally pure and whole. I use the toner, face creme, scrub & clay mask. I need a sunscreen for day and I would really recommend L'Occitane Angelica 40 spf. It's only mineral sunscreen and it doesn't leave you greasy and soaks right in. Yay for give-aways! Thanks for introducing us to great stuff, Ashley.
I have become a homemade soap devotee, love them! I have not come across a coconut oil soap, so I would love to try Ashley's!
I'm a big fan of Siberian Fir Oil Mineral Bath Salts…
Love Burt's Bees and coconut oil products.
Coconut oil! Thanks, Peggy
Those spoons are awesome! I love the basics – baking soda, coconut oil, olive oil – for my beauty routines. I do splurge on some Aveda products from time to time though…
I love lavender essential oil.
I just recently fell in love with Origins skin care! I love their face creams.
I have less of a beauty routine than you do! My SIL made me a coconut oil & brown sugar scrub that I enjoy if my skin feels dry
I so depend on coconut oil for skincare…not for my face but certainly for the rest of my dry skin or "itchments"! Many thanks! firstname.lastname@example.com
Coconut oil! Love it and the smell…lovely!
I would L*O*V*E the lip balm! I have been suffering with dry lips all winter! I'd love a natural cure!
Without a doubt- bees body butter ! Thanks.
I have found so many uses for coconut oil – from cooking to using in homemade deodorant! Thanks for the give away. I would love to win! Mary Ann Cauthen
Those spoons, those soaps! Love it all! Weleda's Calendula Baby Face Cream is a staple in our house for all ages.
Fave body care product: My special homemade coconut/emu oil/vitamin E moisturizer. Luxuriously silky!
My favorite body care product is my homemade lotion – coconut oil plus several other natural ingredients. Makes my skin feel lovely!
I love the bath bombs from Lush. But, after reading all the comments, I am so very intrigued by coconut oil! I plan on giving it a try.
I visited the TinyFarm website. The prices are amazing!
tea rose coconut and beeswax salve..smells so good and great for gardeners hands!
I would love any and ALL of these wonderful products. The coconut oil soap sounds especially wonderful!! SO HOPE THAT I WIN!!!
What a lovely giveaway! I would especially love to try the coconut products.
I love buying hand crafted soap and lavender or citrus scented body oil from my local farmer's market. I purchased coconut oil for cooking but I've never tried it in a skin care product. It really is a lovely giveaway!
This sounds like such an amazing gift! I have to say that I'm looking for natural skincare products and I have the hardest time making them. Currently, if I don't make it myself, I don't use it. I would love to have a go-to company like this one! kmjones3 @ gmail.com
I'm a big fan of coconut oil, and use it alone as a facial moisturizer, and mixed with beeswax to make lip balm — but I'd love to try Ashley's version of lip balm too! Thanks for the giveaway!
Lotion is always my favorite body care product. Love coconut or cucumber.
Ooooh, handmade soaps ARE my favorite body care product! And coconut oil – BEST moisturizer!
My favourite is homemade deodorant with coconut oil and arrowroot.
I would adore these lovely products!
The Tiny Farm products look lovely! On the busiest of days, about the only thing I can't do without is a local sweet orange moisturizer by Edge of the World Farm.
I love making my own sugar scrubs and giving them away as gifts for birthdays and Christmas.
I love Burt's bees cuticle cream, organic coconut oil and handmade goat's milk soap. The little farm co. products look so pretty, I'd love to try them all.
Lip balm definitely!
I love sugar scrubs and moisturizing body butters. Thank you so much for offering such a lovely and generous giveaway.
I like really nice rich scented shampoo.
would really love to try the soap
I think the logo is adorable!!! And how can you go wrong with coconut oil?!!
Addicted to Burts Bees Pomegrante Lip Balm and any of the EOS products. We love coconut oil here at the house for dry scalp and skin. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
We've been using a lot of coconut oil in our smoothies and soap, and I'm always interested in being introduced to new products. Thanks for the offer!
Same here, coconut oil. And fresh aloe vera for all those burns I seem to always get when cooking in the kitchen!
This giveaway would be such a treat!! I would love it! Thank you.
I love cocoa butter and coconut oil whipped lotion. It's my favorite product to use on my hands and feet.
Please let it be me! Such a coconut fan!
Locally made soap by Dr Dandelion (here in Portland Maine)…. esp Lavender. so so good! thanks for the chance…
Would love to try her products, they look great!
I would say I love Burt's Bees Lip Balm as well. have a few of them I must say. Kudos to what you are doing and all about. I'm trying to make some different choices as far as chemicals go, but I struggle with my skin. I need a really good moisturizer and anti aging product for my face as I am concerned about wrinkles. Not obsessed but I do need a good product for my face. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
I love peppermint castile soap to use as shampoo and body wash.
Before knowing any differently, I did occasionally indulge in cheap cosmetics as a teenager. As a 30 something woman I have simplified and purified things immensely! Having inherited my Mum's dry skin I can get away with using straight-up almond oil on my face, twice daily. It smells lovely (lightly of almonds) and does wonders for my sensitive skin. That is my stand-by these days, although it is fun to have a natural treat now and then to mix things up a bit!
What a cool blog you have! I just found you today via The Non-Consumer Advocate blog. I'm really intrigued by the products in your giveaway as my family is moving ever closer to the all natural, reuse -able lifestyle. My favorite product Is Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm. It's hard to find here in Alaska, so we grab multiples when we find it. In our family if you ask where the "Bee" is everyone knows what you're looking for.

Serpentine win the Welsh Castles Relay
Getting teams of 20 runners out is never easy. Getting two teams of 20 runners good enough to podium year after year to go to Wales and spend a large part of their weekend in a minibus, is a pretty impressive achievement so I'd like to thank Paul Fromme, Simon Barrett and Teresa Gaillard De Laubenque for all the hard work they've done to get this year's teams together.
We knew it'd be tough this year: Sale Harriers were going to be stronger, Les Croupiers were keen to keep 'their' trophy in Wales for a change, and Winchester were back with a women's team including international class athletes. We're tough to beat in team events though :-)
I wasn't there this year, but looking at the results it seems like we had a steady start but by the end of the weekend a fair number of stage wins had been ticked off, including a number of mountain stage wins:
Stage 7 - Dolgellau to Dinas Mawddwy - 9.15 miles
Aodh O'Neil 00:51:51
Stage 8 - Dinas Mawddwy to Foel - 10.8 miles
Carla Denneny 01:16:48
Stage 10 - Llanfair Caereinion to Newtown
Helen Winsor 01:31:35
Stage 11 - Newtown to Llanbadarn Fynydd
Teresa Gaillard De Laubenque 01:23:59
Stage 12 - Llanbadarn Fynydd to Crossgates
Richard Milner 01:03:00
Stage 14 - Builth Wells to Drovers Arms
Liz Wynn 01:17:14
Stage 15 - Drovers Arms / Red Kite Centre to Brecon
Laura Denison 01:27:42
Stage 16 - Brecon to Beacons Reservoir
Richard Phillips 00:49:12
Stage 20 - Caerphilly Castle to Cardiff Castle
Maren Urner 01:11:19
This was enough for our men to win by 26 mins but not quite enough for the women who were second by just 7 mins. We also won the Kings and Queens of the mountains trophies (awarded to the best teams over the 6 most mountainous stages: 3, 7, 10, 11, 14 & 16).
Congratulations to all.

From Isabela to South Cotabato. 1,800 km. in 3 days overland. My family first did that in April of the year 1993, using our classic 1973 Jeep Wagoneer, an American SUV. For me, that was my most epic road trip ever. We passed by beautiful seaside scenery, marvelous forests, mountain ranges, countless rivers, and varied road types. Because of that, I was able to see the beauty of the whole Philippines. My father was our only driver (as I am still 9 years old during that time).
|stop-over in Albay, Bicol Region during my family's 4th Isabela, Luzon--South Cotabato, Mindanao trip in 2006
L-R: my grandma, my mom, and my sister
You may say that my father was really the hero of that trip. Can you imagine a father taking his whole family to a road trip across the entire Philippines with no reliever driver? Yes, my father indeed is the hero. But as what the saying goes, "behind the success of a great man is a great woman".
|My traveler and vacationer mom. This was taken during our recent trip in Impasugong, Bukidnon
My mom did a wonderful job during that trip. Preparing our "baon" (food), making sure our bags are packed, and as usual, packed the bag of my dad. She woke up early in the morning to make sure our breakfast was prepared. She also massaged my dad every night as he is tired of driving for long hours. She even bought each of us face towels, and wet it so to protect us from the dust on the road. And every night, during our stopovers to different lodges and SDA mission guesthouses, she always made sure that we have family worships. She also cooked food for us. Not only that, even washed our clothes. The presence of my mom made our travel more convenient, meaningful, and happy. I am so blessed to have a mom like her. She is always there in our family travels, full support for our needs.
|A family outing at Lake Apo, Valencia, Bukidnon
In all our family vacation, she is always there. Even though sometimes her schedule is busy, she always finds time for travel and family vacations. She has traveled extensively all throughout the Philippines and in some other countries as well. She has been to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and China. And just like my dad, she always supports the idea of travel. She always supports the idea of having a regular family vacation. And she is always there, agreeing and joining us in our trips, vacations, outings. I really thank God for giving us a mom like her.
|During one of our weekend relaxation moments. Enjoying our vegetarian cuisine of Mountain View College

When it comes to painting accessories, being able to clean them easily is a must for many artists, which the 'ONLY' Paintbrush places front and center. Aside from being a precise angled brush, the 'ONLY' Paintbrush can be pinched on the handle to enable the bristles to be fanned out and cleaned easily.
Mediums like oil can be tough to remove from bristles as tiny bits of paint can remain trapped within the tight bristles. The 'ONLY' Paintbrush helps eliminate this problem and features a cap that doubles as both a cap for the bristles and a hard case for the handle.
The 'ONLY' Paintbrush is designed by Christopher Crowley and helps revolutionize how think about painting accessories.

Known as the "longest shortest river in the world", Comal River runs entirely within the city limits of New Braunfels. It is a side river of the Guadalupe River. The river begins at Landa Park and flows 2.5 miles before meeting Guadalupe. As it is a tributary of Guadalupe, it is known as Little Guadalupe in early Spanish accounts.
In history, German settlers used this river to power water mills and cotton gins and soon after hydroelectric power. Today the river is used for water recreation. The Comal River is the home for the Fountain Darter fish.
Because of its clear water, mild currents and a host of treasures left by tubers, the Comal River is an ideal spot for river tubing in New Braunfels. Diving can be done both in summers and winters as temperature of Comal River is approximately 72 degrees Fahrenheit all over the year. Unlike its furious counterpart, the Guadalupe River, tubing on the river is more peaceful. The river is known for its calmness and you can enjoy its natural beauty in spring and summers. The very famous Schlitterbahn Water Park is built along a 16-acre stretch of the river.
You can stay at the chute when you visit Comal River. Immediately after you exit from the chute, you will experience calm, slow and steady flow of the river and it is the best location for enjoying the scenery. During the hot summer months, the water is still 72 degrees Fahrenheit which will give you a chilling experience while you relax on your tube. Tubing in comal river is far better than spending time in a chemical filled pond.
The river is clean; its water is crystal clear due to its constant flow. Every turn of river gives you a unique surprise which adds to its beauty.

1932. MATISSE, Henri. Poésies de Stéphane Mallarmé. [2], 153, [8] pp. Illustrated by Henri Matisse with 29 etchings printed in black. Small folio, bound in original printed wrappers, and housed in the original calf-backed chemise and slipcase. Lausanne: Albert Skira & Cie., 1932. The Matisse etchings for Mallarmé's Poésies are renowned for their delicate and simple design. "At the beginning of the decade, the etchings he made to illustrate an edition of Mallarmé's poems had an almost neoclassical quality to their elegant, filament-like lines -- a quality fully appropriate to the mythological themes of antiquity that they introduced into Matisse's art of this period" (Elderfield, Henri Matisse: A Retrospective, p. 357). This is considered "Skira's most beautiful book" (Castleman); it represents one of the snowy peaks of the twentieth-century livre d'artiste. This copy is one of 95 copies on velin paper, signed by Matisse, from a total edition of 145. The book in perfect condition, with some wear to the box and slipcase. Duthuit 5. The Artist and the Book 196. From Manet to Hockney 95. A Century of Artists Books 92. Elderfield, Henri Matisse: A Retrospective 295-300. (Inventory #: 162602)

She is a adorable baby, and comes with a beautiful starter wardrobe
I am hoping to find her a loving adopting home, with someone who will treasure her as much as I do.
|When I first receive a sculpt I unpackage it, inspect it, and give it a warm bath.
I then dry the part and lay them out so that I can decide if it will be a girl or a boy.
Once that decision is made I then choose the ethnic background I wish to convey. Once ethnicity is determined I use
great attention to ensure each wrinkle and crease are properly attended to. I also give attention to veins, and vessels,
making sure the measure is age appropriate to the baby I am creating.
I often view photos of real babies in position, and with facial expression of the baby that I am trying to create.
I do not enhance my photos. I tend to take photos at different times so that you can see the true tone.
Tone make appear different based on your monitor settings.
