Prescott Plaza is a 17-acre commercial redevelopment project and winner of the Kansas City Business Journal's Capstone Award for biggest impact on a community. The plaza was built on land that was previously home to an abandoned hotel and truck stop, and beholds the first new grocery store in 30 years, Charles Ball Sunfresh Market. The project is the beginning of the Unified Government's plans to redevelop the neighborhood community in that area. BHC RHODES provided surveying services that included an ALTA/ACSM survey and construction staking. They also provided the site layout, grading and erosion control plans, a stormwater report and design including a detention pond, and a utility plan. In the final phases, the company coordinated utilities and construction administration.MAP

text: Hello All, I hope that no one objects too harshly to a non UPSer posting a thread but I really need some input and feedback on an issue from you guys. I am a mechanic for ExpressJet Airlines and we are Teamsters. At this point in time we are in the middle of wage concession negotiations with our company which under the current economic conditions for airlines is to be expected. However, the Teamsters have decided that THEY think it would be great for us to take this time to move our health insurance to Central States. The TEAMSTERS shoved this into the proposal to the company with out any consent or discussion with us the union members. Needless to say there are alot of angry people. What I would appreciate getting from you guys is your take on Central States. Any info and insight that you can provide. Currently the company has our insurance through Blus Cross Blue Shield of Texas and no one that I have talked to has ever had any trouble getting things paid for or doctors refusing to see them. Thank you for you help.

Question by Henry on 12/20/2013 - 2:23 pm
"Burton did not make a size chart for this item. Size small measures about 5.5" from side to side at the widest part of the knee pad. That would give it a circumference of about 11". They do have a ton of stretch so it could accommodate a little big larger than that if needed be."

Until last week, the Washington Human Rights Commission had not published their activities for almost two years. That's two years of an unelected commission making legally-binding rules that directly affect your family.
But now, they have crossed the line.
Your phone calls and emails have made a HUGE difference in this effort. Some legislative offices have received so much communication on this issue that they haven't been able to function. In fact, some constituents have reported that Representative Laurie Jinkins' office has stopped answering the phonescompletely.
After the open-bathroom rule was quietly put into effect, FPIW was the firstorganizational media group that covered this story. And it stayed that way for weeks.
With your help, we are making Olympia listen.
In a state where progressive thoughts and policies are the only ones given time in the news cycle, FPIW fills a role that no other group in our state does. We provide you with the updates on the issues that no one else will.
If you appreciate the work that FPIW does to keep you updated on issues that directly affect the safety and privacy of your family, would you consider pitching in $15, $30, $100, or more to keep the pressure on to repeal this bathroom rule?
Your support is vital to the efforts to repeal the bathroom rule. In every corner of every county, you've made your voice heard on this issue - and we are here to stand and fight with you. Will you help us raise $200,000 to respond to this issue?
If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at (425) 608-0242.
We are humbled to serve you and grateful for your generous support.

How do I order a commission?
For many individuals, commissioning a work of art is a new experience. I approach it as a collaborative process between artist and client. Commissioned work includes a non-refundable design fee of $75-$150 per project. Upon design approval, a 50% deposit is required to initiate the work.
What if I want to order something for someone but I don't know what they would like or need?
I recommend purchasing a gift certificate so that the recipient can offer input and availability for vestments, banners, and wall sanctuaries.
If I see something I like but wish to make changes, is that possible?
Designs can be altered for an additional fee, depending on the complexity of the design.
Do you make the pieces yourself?
I am the sole artist involved and I produce each piece by hand, one at a time from start to finish.
How long does it take for you to complete an order?
Stoles usually take 6-8 weeks once an order has been placed. The time allowed for completing larger commissions varies, depending on the number of pieces ordered and the complexity of the design.
Can I return an order?
All items are non-returnable.
Would you be willing to visit a church in the process of commissioning a piece?
I do make site visits for a fee of $100 per hour plus travel expenses.
What happens once I order a commission?
Once you contact me, I will be in touch with you to ask follow-up questions about the details of your inquiry. I sometimes use a questionnaire for co-created commissions for individuals and faith communities.
What occasions are appropriate for ordering a commission from you?
My work is appropriate for a variety of celebrations including Liturgical Seasons, Feast Days and Holy Days, Sacraments (Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Ordination), Anniversaries, Dedications, Memorials, Retreats, and Other Special Occasions.
What is the best way to suggest offering your services as a gift for an individual or a church?
Sometimes people refer others to my website and then ask me to send more detailed information about the process.

I am training for size/strength. (size first) I been really discouraged about my benching. For some reason, I feel "Significantly" stronger my first set than 2nd,3rd, and 4th.
I know most big weight lifters would tell me (15 reps) is to much, however, it seems like I have to do a weight that I can do 15 times my "FIRST SET" so my muscles are able to get in the range of 6-10 on my next sets.
I feel like my triceps are giving out on my 2nd-4th sets. So I have to do lighter weight to compensate my better strength on the other sets.
For example - I did 130 lbs 15x8x7x6. I feel very strong my first set. I know your a little bit weaker after 1st, but for me its more.
Are my triceps weak? Or is it my chest giving out, and shoulders and triceps are assisting on my last sets?
15 rep sets won't do much for size/strength - once you pass the 12 rep mark it is more strength-endurance focused.
Also with high rep sets you accumulate more lactic acid in the muscles than lower reps which causes fatigue makes it harder to reproduce repeat efforts.
For size-strength typically recommended that you work with heavier weights in the 5-10 repetition range as that recruits more fast twitch muscle fibres which have the most potential for muscle growth and strength.
Also try increasing your protein intake. I have and I'm doing more sets and benefitting from it.
Wow, did not realize this many people replied. Just for some input - I have a olympic bench that is able to do incline as well. Can be used for shoulder presses too.
The reason why I am doing more than 15 reps my first set is because when I did heavier weight I could do for 10 reps - my 2nd, 3rd sets still would be bad (less than 8)
I understand 8-12 is generally hypertrophy
3-6 is generally for strength
15-20 is for endurance
I've always had this same problem. If I do only 10 reps the first time, I can hardly do 5 by the 3rd set. This is true with any type of weight lifting I do. I normally only do 2 sets now.
If you're trying to build size, you want to lift heavier weight for fewer reps and more sets. Doing 15 reps for 3 or 4 sets is going to build strength and endurance.
For size, do 6 sets of 1 at almost your max. Or you can do 4 sets of 4 with like 85% of your max.
And MAKE SURE That Glutonius Erectus can last longer than 2 minutes.. if you're dating as well..
Holy wad of misinformation in ALL of these replies. NONE of these people are certified trainers, and I doubt many even lift!
Your protein intake has absolutely nothing to do with your performance whilst training! 6 sets of 1 is one of the most retarded things that I've ever heard!
Your problem is multi-tiered. You're probably training the bench press too often, you're NOT resting long enough, you're doing too many high rep warm up sets, you may not be getting enough carbohydrates (unlikely, though).
Size results from two things: microtrauma and proper recovery. If you're failing at 15 reps and getting sore, then then microtrauma portion is there.
You could benefit from lower repetitions. Train your bench ONLY one time per week, and distanced from shoulder presses and any other triceps work. Make up your mind, too. I'm a competitive powerlifter, so power is what I train most of the year. I do focus on physique training for some portions of the year, though. I don't want to get any bigger, just look better in the "off season".
Protein should be consumed every 2.5 -3 hours while you're awake. This will help you retain a positive nitrogen balance and keep your body anabolic (building muscle).
One thing to remember- only the bench press improves the bench press. No other lift is as beneficial in training this lift, as goes for the other two powerlifts; squat and deadlift. I do have a hub published on improving the bench press. I won't post it here (not allowed), but if you're interested, check it out.
And please ignore all of the previous advice. Not one word of any of it is based on experience. I'll pretty much guarantee I'm the only world record holder in this thread, too.
joe - any advice for women on strength and muscle building? Same as for the guys?
I know I am not over training. I only train bench press once per week, as well as other various body parts.
When I warm up, I basically do 50-65% of my repping weight 8x or so....
I've been a 200 lb "trainer" and powerlifter for over 40 yrs.
Pay attention to jzepess and
joecseko! They know what they're talking about!
I still workout at over 65. I don't do any barbell work anymore ...just dumbells and fairly heavy leg work. I keep my reps hi, but I'm no longer working to win power contests.
Remember, diet is the most important facet of any lifters program!
I always believed in "cheating." Using groups of muscles to lift VERY HEAVY weight ( up to 1000 lbs in 1 lift; quarter deads) and accustoming the brain and nervous system to adapt and adjust, neurologically and physiologically to the feel and use of "HEAVY!"
Good luck.
There are many factors o consider if you're trying to build size.
15 reps is too much, unless you're trying to focus on endurance.
When I first started lifting, I was small, I'm not huge now, but at the same time, I lift to stay in shape.
What helped me increase size was, I would do 3 sets, you could also do 4. My first set would be 12 reps, then 10, then 6 while increasing weight each set.
Another thing to consider is how much time you rest in between each set, your muscles need time to recover or you're just doing them an injustice, I would rest for 3 to 4 minutes, it may get boring, but it helps you perform your best each set.
One last thing to consider is what else you're doing, you won't get bigger by just doing bench press, you have to do other things too, consider doing dumbbell flys, incline bench, switch up so you hit the chest at different angles. Also push-ups are the most underrated exercise in my opinion.
If I can help in any other way feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com, I hope you get the results you're looking for.
I want to get bigger, but still get stronger. (Hypertrophy) My problem is finding weight that I am able to do exactly between 6-12.
I heard that 90 seconds rest between sets is good for building size, but I feel like I need 2 minutes. 2 minutes might be considered powerlifting rest time....
With regards to you reps its good to mix things up, try to biuld the weight up through your sets, so the first two my be a warm up and then you biuld up the weights each set. I have found a pyramid session works really well for increasing strength on bench press.
It goes like this for me..... I'm looking to bench around 115kg - 120kg for 3 reps in the end so.....
- 1st set 60kg 10 reps (warm up ish)
- 2nd set 80kg 8 reps
- 3rd set 90kg 6 reps
- 4th set 100kg 4 reps
- 5th set 110kg 3reps
- 6th set 115-120kg depending on how 110kg felt
Its a workout and you can change the weights to suit your strength (sorry i used kg but I don't use lbs)
With regards to you triceps being weak, firstly if you fail at the bottom part of the rep close to your chest them the weakness is likely to be your chest (you can do wider grip bench to work on this). But if you manage to get it off your check 3inches say then its your triceps being weak when you try to finish off the rep. Remember your tricep (tri mean three) has three parts so you need to pinpoint which one you need to work, try tricep push downs, skull crushers and narrow grip bench to see which triceps are weakest
Hope this helps
(oh and also get some good supplement advice! If your struggling during reps you may want something to give your workout a kick start, cratine, beta alanine etc, check out supplement-advice.co.uk for any help)
As the person supplement-advice had indicated pyramids are good and I use it to develop strength and size. Pyramids are great for developing strength.
Now bench pressing is a "show of strength exercise". It works parts of your pectoral muscles. It also works your triceps, your deltoids, biceps and other shoulder and back muscles.
I personally think that you will do better by concentrating on your tri's with french curls, working with different bars on the cable pull down, dips ect.
For you pecs, you want to isolate them with exercises such as flys or cable cross over exercise, maybe even dips with and without weights.
I think it is good to work in bench presses but this shouldn't be the cornerstone of your exercise routine. It works many muscles at once.
If you are going for size first, then you want to make sure that when doing the bench press that you use your pec muscles to their maximum ability. However, it sounds like your triceps are fatiguing before your pecs, thus leaving your pecs able to do more work.
As a competitive bodybuilding, I recommend a technique called pre-exhaust. This is where you will do pec isolation exercises (such as flyes) to tire the chest before you get to the bench press or any other compound movement. This way, your chest will fail before your triceps do, allowing you to work your pecs to their maximum ability.
You may also want to try other chest exercises such as dumbbell presses, flyes, machine press. Everyone is a little different, so you may have to experiment to find what works best for you.
Good luck.
I've never been big on doing heavy weights as it is.
Make sure you stretch really good, that is one thing I see a lot of people NEVER doing. I agree with trying other chest exercises as well. Dumbbells are good because you have to control them individually as well as bench them.
I was able to bench upwards of 300lbs at around 190lbs, for a while, but usually would do 45lbs(the bar) and just bench really slow. Best thing I ever did. There is nothing enjoyable about doing a bunch of weight to me at least.
Don't rely too much on benching. I really have no idea why it is what everyone cares about. I personally like push ups much better. I was also never looking to get the huge muscles or anything, I was more focused on the sports I was playing.
try 5- 10mins of cardio before you bench also add some light stretching you'll find doing 1 set 0f 135 is plenty then more up the next set.
There is a lot of advice here. Some good and some not so good. The basic here is, if you are lifting for size then go heavy. Nutrition is also important. Eat within 90 minutes after lifting to help gain or maintain size. Make your first set your warmup set, then do six to eight reps for four sets. Work hard when you work out with an absolute minimum of 48 hours rest between working out muscle groups.
If you want to keep your reps in a tight range then you can always drop the weight you're lifting each set.

Updated and well-equipped kitchens, attractive and comfortable furniture, including a king size bed and a Smart TV will help to make your stay very enjoyable. WiFi is complimentary. You may want to also check out our other unit D-124 at VRBO listing #402932.
Note: Napili Shores does not have air conditioning. Louvered windows allow airflow from the trade winds while two overhead and additional portable fans offer a natural and quiet cooling solution.
Dan is a retired airline pilot and Donna is a retired airline operations coordinator. In addition to our home in beautiful Napili Bay we also enjoy time at our ski vacation condo on the mountain at Sun Peaks, BC. Our primary home is in British Columbia. We both have a passion for travel and love the outdoors.
Dan and Donna purchased this condo in 2009
After visiting the Hawaiian Islands many times and staying at a number of different locations we found Napili Bay. It was the true 'tropical paradise' we had been searching for...a perfect balance of activity and socializing with a quaint and peaceful ambiance. Napili Shores resort boasts a friendly, community feel with owners and guests returning year after year.
Location is the key. Without driving, or even having to cross the road, we can swim in the ocean or pool, snorkel, boogie board, walk the shoreline, enjoy whale watching and beautiful sunsets and, of course, the turtles. We have made many friends around the BBQ in the evening.
This is our second time staying in this condo and we cant wait to go back again! Its perfect for the 2 of us, the complex itself is great, its nice and quite and the pool is right out the back door. Dan and Donna are great at communication and easy to get a hold of if needed.
Bottom line is we cant wait to book again and go back:)
We loved our stay. Not much bad you can say about two weeks in Hawaii. It happened that just as we arrived and for the next week back hoes tore up the road next the the parking lot. So at 7AM promptly every morning including Saturday we heard the roar of engines, the crunch of metal on rocks, and the beep-beep-beep of them backing up. They finished the road in a week and then for the second week continued on reconstruction of the resort next door. Same result. Aside from these disturbances we enjoyed our stay. Without them we'd give 5 stars. We're hoping Dan and Donna were unaware of these construction plans when we booked it.
From the minute we checked in, everything was Paradise. You can't beat the Gazebo for breakfast. They also have a new place for dinner ( excellent). Napili Shores resort is soo well maintained. The grounds are beautiful and such care is taken to ensure the guests are comfortable. The condo was perfect. It had everything we needed and more. The kitchen and bathroom are updated. The Bed was so comfortable. The tropical decor was lovely. I can't say enough good things except I will be back. Thank you
Very clean with all the amenities you need. There's also a beach about 30 seconds away.
Napili Shores is a beautiful, quiet and serene place to stay. We rented both of their units which were 4 doors away from each other and had other family members in two other VRBO units as this was a family trip. Both condos were remodeled and updated, clean, close to pool and BBQ as well as other amenities. In addition, they had beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkels, a cooler and even a book library. The Gazebo was the best and the bay beach suitable for children, swimmers and snorkels with huge, green sea turtles almost always visible.
Dan and Donna were great to work with, very helpful, always returned quick replies and just all around wonderful people.
We are thrilled to have this resource for future trips and that will make it even more like "coming home" for our return trips.
3rd visit. Couldn't be happier, except we now have to return home!
Steps to Napili Bay! Swim with the turtles, view whales and dolphins, enjoy fabulous sunsets and nearby shoreline walks. Two swimming pools, "Gazebo" restaurant and "Water Works" beach rentals/store on property.

disappearing bfp?
super weird thing happened today.
sundays are my testing day, because i just quit the mini pill and im breastfeeding my 9 month old, so im not sure if im ovulating yet, and we're ttc but just started, so dont want to get too worked up over charting. thats a lot of back info!
so! this morning, i poas, and before the control line even shows up, bam! bfp. my husband even heard me go "oh, wow!" from where he was in the bedroom.
awesome! except... it disappeared? yeah. my bfp faded, and was gone. completely. the test looked pretty negative after about a minute.
whaaat was that?! has that ever happened to anyone else, and whyyyy would it!?
Re: disappearing bfp?
Yes, the dye can have a second wave go across the test and I've seen what I thought was a bfp, a definitely there, exactly as thick as it should be pink line...only to see it SLOWLY keep moving across the test...if you aren't watching it and just picked it up to look at it and catch it when it was passing where the actual line is, you'd SWEAR it was a bfp.
I'm so sorry :( ((HUGS))
What type of test did you use? I see this mostly with wondfo.
Re: disappearing bfp?
it was a cheap one i got online, but i dont know if its actually wondfo. ...i got them at early-pregnancy-tests.com. ::shrug:: what a cruel joke!
Re: disappearing bfp?
Oh no! That's frustrating. :(
My experience with Wondfos has been that right after I dip it the dye moves across turning the whole thing pink and then it clears up back to white as you go through the wait time.

The focus of this message is our final answer to the question, Who is a
fool? A person is a fool who scoffs at sin. Before we look at this last point, lets review
the definition of a fool.
The term fool is often used for a sinful, wicked or immoral
person who will not obey the commands of the Lord. The fool acts contrary to biblical
wisdom in his choices and behavior. He follows his own inclinations and desires. The fool
prefers to enjoy the immediate, insignificant pleasures of the here and now to obeying and
serving the Lord and being rewarded in eternity.
There are two key passages that I turn your attention to --
"Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour." Proverbs
"It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath
wisdom." Proverbs 10:23
Consider the former passage: "Fools make a mock at sin." Proverbs 14:9
The key word in this passage is mock. It is a translation of
the Hebrew word Uwl luwts (loots; 03887) that literally means
"to make mouths at." The implication is, one who talks arrogantly, scoffs,
sneer at or scorns. What this verse is saying is that fools make light of sin. They ignore or
scoff at anyone who rebukes them for their sinful behabior.
Turn to Proverbs 10:23 "It is as sport to a fool to
do mischief." In order to understand this verse we must look at two key words. The first
is mischief. The problem is that in the 21st century mischief connotes
trivial trouble making. But, back in the 17th century mischief intentional injury;
harm or damage done by design. The Hebrew word translated mischief is this verse is ever
stronger. It is hmz zimmah (zim-maw'; 2154), which means
heinous sin, crime or wickedness.
That brings us to the word sport. The Hebrew word is qwxs
sechowq (sekh-oke'; 7814), which means contemptuous or despicable amusement. The best
biblical illustration that will help us to understand the word sport is found in Judges
16:20-27. The wicked Philistines took great pleasure in gouging out Samsons eyes and
then amusing themselves by taunting him.
Proverbs 10:23 could legitimately be stated this way. Fools amuse
themselves by practicing great wickedness!
18th century Baptist preacher John Gill says, "It is as
sport to a fool to do mischief" refers to doing any injury to the persons and properties
of men, which shows a most wicked and malicious spirit and a very depraved nature. It means,
"to commit sin" of any sort, which he has devised in his own heart. It is as a
"laughing," as the words may be rendered. Rather, it is a laughing matter to him;
he commits sin, and, when he has done it, laughs at it. Instead of being ashamed of it, and
humbled for it, he makes a mock at it, and a jest of it, as well as of all religion, and of the
reproofs and admonitions of good men. Sin is his pastime. He takes as much delight and takes
pleasure in it as men do in their sports. He commits sin openly and freely; yea, not only takes
pleasure in doing it himself, but in them that do it.
Gills comments are well founded. Consider Romans 1:28-32. The
key verse is verse 32. Lets read the passage. "And even as they did not like to
retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those
things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without
natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they
which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them
that do them."
Dont toy with sin. It does not pay. Psalm 1 makes that clear!
While there are those who laugh at future judgment God has promised in His Word saying,
"where is the promise of his coming?" (2 Peter 3:4), Gods judgment will come to
pass in his time. Proverbs 19:29 says, "Judgments are prepared for scorners, and
stripes for the back of fools." Isaiah 5:20 asserts, "Woe unto them that call
evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter
for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
There is a dramatic contrast between how God deals with the fool and how He
deals with the righteous. One of our text verses notes: "among the righteous there is favour."
Proverbs 14:9. That is to say, the righteous enjoy the favor of God and man. They
experience "the good will" of God.
I would rather experience the good will of God than the judgment of God any
day. What about you? If you agree, dont be a fool when it comes to sin.
Part #1 A person is a fool who denies the existence of God. Psalms 14:1
Part #2 A person is a fool who trusts in his own heart. Proverbs 28:26
Part #3 A person is a fool who despises wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7
Part #4 A person is a fool who is quick-tempered. Ecc. 7:9; Proverbs 14:16-17
Part #5 A person is a fool who scoffs at sin. Proverbs 14:9; 10:23

Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Are you looking forward to it? We've noted before how stationary and letter writing seems obsolete, but sometimes we're reminded of how nice it is when we receive a letter in the mail or see pretty stationary, and how it should be used more often. We also don't tend to send a lot of cards to people--it is so much easier to send a text or an email--but it is a nice, thoughtful gesture. We've found some funny Valentine's Day cards that we wanted to share--it's a … [Read more...]

Writing Prompts
It's great when the creativity flows, and every word you type on the page is brilliant, but as everyone knows, this isn't always easy. Sometimes everyone needs a little help getting their creative juices pumping, and sometimes writing prompts are a good way to jumpstart our writing. Even if it's not a story we were planning on writing, it gets us to write something and it gets us to think outside the box and getting unstuck. We've included a few fun ones below that Isabel has used in the … [Read more...]
Here's Gazing At You, Michael Bey
Film Director Michael Bey recently walked off a stage in embarrassment during what was supposedly a talk/promo for a Samsung TV. It's easy to feel empathy for him, because really, who can't relate to the embarrassment of wanting to walk away when facing a crowd that is waiting for you to be inspiring, brilliant or at least informative? But mixed in with empathy is also the nagging question: "Why couldn't he handle facing people to talk about a TV?" The teleprompter was supposedly not working, … [Read more...]

Reflections on the end of another year
2013 has been an interesting year. One main thing that we are very happy and proud of is that we completed and published our debut novel, Stargazing from Nowhere, we re-designed this blog and put up a completely new one (the one for our novel). Other events that we would rather not have dealt with include a major flood in our basement (doesn't sound like a big deal, but it has taken six months to get things back to normal and it's still not totally completed), as well as some family health … [Read more...]
Getting into the Christmas spirit
Neither one of us are yet fully in the Christmas spirit and it's already December 19th! The flood we had this past July has taken a lot of our attention, so it's pretty much all we've been doing when we haven't been working, and are only now getting fully settled. Everything in our basement is done except the warm fuzzy decorating which will have to be done here and there since to do everything all at once would be way too overwhelming. It was pretty overwhelming already, so at least now the … [Read more...]
Christmas by Lamplight
For anyone getting nostalgic for an old fashioned Christmas, taking a trip to a Victorian village can be warmly satisfying and help get you into the Christmas spirit. Black Creek Pioneer Village is a local historical site that holds a Christmas by Lamplight event for three weekends in December. It's always well attended by families as there are some activities for both adults and kids to partake in, but mostly it's a time to enjoy the Christmas spirit in a small Canadian village.

The Fado

The fado is known as the Portuguese version of the blues and dates back to the 1820s.

Feminine Office Ideas
While our office isn't as bad as it was a few weeks ago, we are still working to get it to be a fully-functional, visually appealing and comfortable office space. We've pretty much changed it completely from what it was (we had a lot of mismatched furniture, oversized couches and IKEA desks that were really dated and no longer as functional for us), which was unexpected but since we were flooded, we had little choice. It's kind of fun to start from scratch (and a tad overwhelming!), and while we … [Read more...]
Afternoon Tea
Coincidentally we both a rough day at work recently. The problem with rough days at work are that they often follow you home and they stay with you all night, into the next day and linger for who knows how long.

Symposium on Comparative Early Modern Legal History
Symposium on Comparative Early Modern Legal History: The Struggle for Land: Property, Territory, and Jurisdiction in Early Modern Europe and the Americas Date: Friday, April 8, 2011 Location: Newberry Library, Chicago Organized by: Tamar Herzog (Stanford University) and Richard J. Ross (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) The struggle to possess and control land, both as property and as jurisdictional territory, was central to the formation of early modern European societies as well as their colonial domains. This conference will look at how Europeans and indigenous peoples defined the right to land. We will examine how so-called European expansion influenced the conceptualization of property and territorial jurisdiction and the relationship between them. Conference participants may explore how notions of property and territoriality changed over time; and how colonial needs and the encounter with new cultures reshaped these notions. In what ways did "international competition" and the emergence of an "international law" (to use an anachronism) modify property and jurisdiction? How did economic, social, and political developments influence new ideas and experiences regarding the land? In what ways did these ideas and experiences shape practical strategies for claiming land and asserting rights to govern it and profit from it? We are particularly eager to know whether these encounters encouraged, consciously or not, borrowing between different European legal systems as well as between settlers and indigenous peoples. How was the movement and refashioning of legal knowledge bound up with the movement of peoples and refashioning of modes of control over land? We would like to encourage an interdisciplinary conversation among lawyers, historians, sociologists, geographers, and literary scholars. Tamar Herzog (Stanford History) and Richard Ross (Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Law and History) organized "The Struggle for Land." The conference is an offering of the Symposium on Comparative Early Modern Legal History, which gathers yearly under the auspices of the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library in Chicago in order to explore a particular topic in the comparative legal history of the Atlantic world in the period c.1492-1815. Funding has been provided by the University of Illinois College of Law. Attendance at the Symposium is free and open to the public. Participants and attendees should preregister by contacting the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 312-255-3514. For information about the conference, please consult our website at http://www.newberry.org/renaissance/seminars/legal.html or contact Prof. Richard Ross at email@example.com or at 217-244-7890.

Melbourne Expat Diary blog series was inspired by the interest to read about the life happenings of other expat bloggers. I started writing my own version ever since I moved to Melbourne. I hope you enjoy reading the summary of the last 30days of my life, as a Melbourne expat, as much as I love writing it.
Melbourne expat life highlights of the month
We hosted a pajama party over a weekend for my colleagues. Three of them came with identical Stitch onesies. We drank plum wine, played the Mafia board game, ordered pizza and trash talked office people. It was really fun. This definitely needs to be repeated regularly, even though I suck at playing board games.
On another weekend, I played laser tag at Melbourne Emporium together with Fafa's friends. We had a great time killing a bunch of strangers we went to the battle with. For me, it might be the most fun way to exercise.
Valentine has been a night to remember. Although it didn't go as well as I wished, but we still managed to have a dinner date to celebrate it. And during the dinner, I noticed that Fafa ordered my favorite dish and gave me a larger portion of the meal. I felt his love through the simple gestures.
Lastly, we successfully cooked shakshuka two Sundays in a row (recipe here). Which means, we are doing well in this adulting thingy. Btw, by we, I mean not me.
New things in Melbourne expat life
I think it's working, life is getting back on the track ever since I started doing all these unusual things.
Things the Melbourne expat loves this month
I got a not-but-looks-super-close-like-engagement-ring ring from Fafa for Valentine. It looks quite close to a Tiffany engagement ring I showed him years ago. He remembers! Or I have successfully instilled it into his mind. Either way, it's really sweet of him. Thank you Fafa!
I also got a beautifully painted self portrait in the mail, titled Nana and Miaw. a gift from a blogger friend, Rima. Thank you Rima!
If you noticed, I changed the blog designed very recently. This time, instead of paying a designer to help me with it, I tried to do everything by myself. I installed Paperio theme and have been toying around with it. The design is still a long way from the finish, but there is a certain satisfaction that it's all done by yours truly.
Melbourne expat media consumption for the month
I started with two books this month. Messengers, it tells the story of the author time as a bicycle courier in the city of London. It's pretty interesting. But the reason I bought the paperback from the famous Readings bookstore at Carlton was mostly because it felt wrong to step out from the award winning bookstore without carrying a token from it. The second one is an audible called What Would Beyonce Do? By a stand up comedian, Luisa Omielan. The thing is, I am not a fan of Queen B. I think she is rather overrated. A sentiment I shared with Chris D'elia, who just launched a funny as F podcast called Congratulations, where he just go on solo rants. It's gold people!
A recently discovered blog that I have been reading religiously back to its years long archive is Celia in Tokyo. I can relate to how she writes and also have been taking notes on the interesting place to visit on our up coming Japan trip.
Lastly, I almost finished American Gothic, a murder drama TV show in STAN. I like it, but I am not invested with the characters yet.
Melbourne expat life next month
Well, technically it's this month. My best friends, Vi and Yin are coming from Singapore and will be staying over at our place. I haven't seen them for months and I am so looking forward for it. I want to take them to my favorite coffee/brunch/Srilankan restaurant/pub. Also, introduce South Yarra/T2tea/Dangersfield/Gorman/Carlton/Spellbox/Royal Arcade/Joylati/Peter Alexandra to them. And on the weekend they are here, we are off to Great Ocean Road. So yeah, March is going to be great!
I plan to cook another simple dish this month. Something I can pack and bring back to work the next day. Maybe spaghetti aglio olio. What do you think?
In the spirit of putting effort to gain new experiences, I booked a tarot reading appointment. Have you ever gotten professional tarot reading? What should I prepare? Do I need to cleanse my aura? Or better come as now so they can read my current aura and advise me on it. I will be asking about work, PR, wedding, book publishing and migrating to Japan. Will keep you updated on the outcome.
Lastly, I miss Miaw a lot. Hopefully he will be back from America this month. Meanwhile, I am going to re-watch Kiki's Delivery Service this weekend.

My sister and I have an uncanny ability to feel saddened by the most random things. Heck, even things that aren't the least bit sad. Say, watching someone sitting on a bench enjoying an ice cream or an elderly person out grocery shopping. Or, as was the case yesterday, a dad coming home from war - in a Christmas ad for Sainsbury's, no less.
As you can tell, it's not necessarily sad things per se, yet stuff like that tends to overwhelm me with emotion and make me heavy-hearted, to the point where my throat tightens and hurts. It's a very silly melancholic strip of DNA to be carrying around, for sure.
Another very specific thing that makes me really sad are goats grazing on sand-covered grass. Luckily, I don't come across that very often, but when Johan and I went to Lake Naivasha, we did. And even though it was a month ago, I still feel it.
The pictures really don't convey how much sand there was in that area, but believe me, in some places you'd suspect a volcano had erupted - that's how covered in sand everything was. All the green was just grey. Or beige. Or whatever color sand is.
There were people and cattle traversing that sandy landscape by foot and hoof. And then there were assholes like Johan and I, whirling all that sand into the air as we sped past them in our car.
But the saddest thing of all, were the grazing goats, whose shepherd, I guess, had nowhere to take them but the side of the road, where all they had to feed on was sand-covered grass as far as the eye could see. And they didn't particularly seem to enjoy it. They were al like: "Must we? Eat this?"
I almost tear up just thinking about it.
Believe me, there are plenty of things in this part of the world to feel sad about, and I'm well aware that the stuff I've seen is nothing compared to some of the true misery that's out there. Johan has shown me pictures from his work trips around this continent, and I tell you, when you look at some of them you immediately understand why people risk their lives to go somewhere better. Because, there's nothing. Truly nothing.
And yet, the bigger picture and the massive problems that threaten the human condition around the world completely evaporate from my radar when I take in the sight of poorly-fed baby goats and their moms. Had my sister been there too, I'm sure we would have downright bawled our eyes out.

Mr. Chinedu Onuoha, a director in the Abia State Ministry of Petroleum and Solid Mineral Resources allegedly raped his 10-year old maid, Anurika Ngwakwe.
Mr. Chinenye Ngwakwe has become a bundle of regrets for giving out his last daughter, Anurika, to live with the family of a senior civil servant in the Abia State Ministry of Petroleum and Solid Mineral Resources.
Barely two months after the 10-year-old girl came and settled in her new home at World Bank Housing Estate, Umuahia, the capital city, she was allegedly raped to death by the head of the family, Mr. Chinedu Onuoha, a director in the ministry.
Ngwakwe, a father of six, who works at the state Ministry of Finance as a security guard, said that he was shocked when his phone rang late in the evening of the fateful day of January 10, 2015, and Mrs. Precious Onuoha asked him to rush down to the hospital and see what is happening to Anurika.
There was blood gushing out of her ears, mouth, private part and wounds on her body, said Ngwakwe when describing the state in which he found his daughter at the hospital, adding that she was already lifeless.

GARBAGE SERVICE Milwaukee Cab is the worst service ever.
Jerry Olsen
Did not pick up The app would be fine if they actually picked you up. Scheduled a pick up for the morning and they never came. When I called they said they would send someone in 15 minutes. The cab driver called 15 minutes later and said no one was in the area and he could be by my house in 15 minutes. What is the sense of scheduling a ride if they do not acknowledge it and have a cab come? Will never use this app again. Forced me to drive to the airport myself and almost missed my flight.
Khadim Dime

Duckie Castrejon-Galicia

World of Warcraft Help Guide
If you are a MMORPG gamer, then you are more than likely a WOW fan. If you are then you know all about the head aches and problems when trying to get ahead in WOW. Going around like a vagrant with no sense of direction and no idea which way to go and of course your coin sack is
practically empty.Gaming online is designed to be enjoyable, right? I don't know how you feel but wasting my free time doing monotonous and tedious tasks like skinning or even worse doing over old quests that you have all ready done ten or more times just so you can get gold so you can hopefully advance your rogue just a little bit.
We have all checked around the internet for a little advantage when it comes to advancing in Warcraft. But be wary of a lot of the so called Warcraft guides out there. I hate to say it but there are a huge amount of bad people who wouldn't think twice about selling you out of date information or even information that risks getting your account shut down from WOW. You heard that right, your World of Warcraft account can be banned temporarily or even for ever.
Blizzard Entertainment has precise rules and specifications concerning proper manners and fair game play in WOW. Neglecting to comply with these rules or the use of cheats is absolutely forbidden and can cause your account to be temporarily suspended or potentially even banned.
What a terrible feeling it would be to all of a sudden, not be able to play your favorite game with your friend's. Make sure this does not happen to you. Be wary of emails disguised to appear like they came from Blizzard Entertainment that ask for your personal World of Warcraft account information. If you ever receive a message like this go straight to WOW help to learn if it is for real or a scam. Ask WOW help to look at the email if need be. It's not worth the risk. There are a bunch of scam's out there, I could never name them all. If you see something that says that they have great WOW stuff for sale, or says that they are going to give you something of value in return for something just say bye and stay away.
Anyone that even mentions swapping accounts that sound like simple gestures are probably not, so stay far away from them. Make sure to read up on what is permitted and not permitted in World of Warcraft. Don't let someone else ruin your good reputation.
If really want real help on playing World of Warcraft better and not by using cheats or hacks check out a secure WOW strategy site that is continuously monitored and regularly updated and built upon. There you will find more than enough of great WOW gaming information that will not put your World of Warcraft account at risk. Not only will you find simple WOW strategy like spec's, but even Alliance and Horde specific, class specific and even profession specific help. So begin enjoying World of Warcraft like you never thought possible by learning how to play it safely and more efficiently.

To check for brake problems, you step on the pedal and press it down while paying attention to how the pedal feels under your foot and evaluating the sensation.
The following steps tell you what to feel for:
Start your engine, but keep it in Park with the parking brake on. (If your vehicle doesn't have power brakes, it's okay to do this check with the engine off.) With the vehicle at rest, apply steady pressure to the brake pedal.
Does it feel spongy? If so, you probably have air in your brake lines. Correcting this problem isn't difficult; unless your brakes have ABS or other sophisticated brake systems, you can probably do the job yourself with the help of a friend.
Does the pedal stay firm when you continue applying pressure, or does it seem to sink slowly to the floor? If the pedal sinks, your master cylinder may be defective, and that's unsafe.
Release the parking brake and drive around the block, stopping every now and then.
Notice how much effort is required to bring your vehicle to a stop. With power brakes, the pedal should stop 1 to 1-1⁄2 inches from the floor. (If you don't have power brakes, the pedal should stop more than 3 inches from the floor.)
If your vehicle has power brakes and stopping seems to take excessive effort, you may need to have the power booster replaced.
If you feel that your brakes are low, pump the brake pedal a couple of times as you drive around.
If pumping the pedal makes the car stop when the pedal's higher up, either a brake adjustment is in order or you need more brake fluid.
If the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder is low, buy the proper brake fluid for your vehicle and add fluid to the "Full" line on your master cylinder. Check the fluid level in the cylinder again in a few days.
If you find that you're not low on fluid, drive carefully to a service facility and ask them to remedy the situation. When they've worked their magic, the pedal shouldn't travel down as far before your vehicle stops.
Disc brakes self-adjust and should never need adjusting. Drum brakes also have self-adjusting devices that should keep the drum brakes properly adjusted. If any of the self-adjuster components on drum brakes stick or break, the drum brakes won't adjust as they wear out, resulting in a low pedal.

Once in a while, I stumble on one of those articles written for homeschoolers suggesting that there's really no such thing as a teen.
The author usually goes on to say that the concept of a teen is a relatively recent development stemming from our modern culture, and that once upon a time children were able to transition into adulthood with little if any difficulty.
My reaction to this? Beans!
We're on our third and fourth teenagers, and the journey of raising them from birth to adulthood has been nothing if not fascinating. All four differed tremendously in temperament, and yet all four definitely showed signs of becoming teens at the usual time.
Did we raise them all the same? No. It's not possible. We're not even the same parents today that we were ten or fifteen years ago, and we don't do things the same way we used to. I like to think we've learned at least a couple of things in the process, and that they're reflected in our parenting skills.
So we have four very different children, all homeschooled all the way through, and all from the same two parents. Yet each one exhibited signs of difficulty as they made that transition to adulthood.
There were the usual physical signs, of course—the whole puberty issue—and that's normal. But it brings with it many emotional issues that are also normal, so when people write that there doesn't need to be any turmoil during the teen years, I have to laugh. Hormones are dramatically changing, the body's changes cause emotional responses…..how can there not be turmoil? As a woman of a certain age (ahem), I'm more aware than ever of how much damage hormones and physical changes can do to your peace of mind.
Then there's the idea that it's not normal for teens to rebel. I'm sorry, but it's normal for humans of any age to rebel. It's the result of sin in the world. God's children, the Israelites, rebelled against Him repeatedly, as noted in the Old Testament of the Bible. If even God's children rebel against Him, why would we be exempt from experiencing the rebellion of our own children?
I'm not saying that rebellion is good, but I do think writers who suggest teen rebellion is not natural are being a bit Pollyanna-ish, to say the least. Those who go one step farther by suggesting that homeschooling will prevent rebellion are naïve at best.
So what is the homeschooling parent to do when her once-adorable offspring reaches the age of 10 or 12 or 14 (it varies) and becomes an emotional powder keg? I offer some tips in my free special report, "Ten Tips for Coping with Temperamental Teens," but my best advice is to avoid panic. No, you're not a bad parent, and your child is not a bad seed. Some emotional upheaval is normal when a child begins that transition to adulthood. Just avoid over-reaction to your preteen or teen's occasional odd behavior, and pray as hard as needed. My own experience has been that no matter what they were like as teens, they eventually become adults of whom you can be proud….even though they gave you some gray hair along the way.
(Originally posted 1/15/09. My kids are now in their 20s and 30s so their teen years are just memories now.)

Ministers and government officials should face strict new criminal laws against political corruption, MPs will say this week.
A new Corruption Act should be introduced that would establish the rules around the awarding of peerages, knighthoods and other honours, the public administration committee will say in a report to be published on Wednesday.
It follows the committee's investigation of the honours system and the "cash for peerages" scandal, and comes as Labour faces a police inquiry into more than £600,000 in unlawful donations from a Newcastle property developer.
The police inquiry did not lead to any criminal charges. Legal sources have said that was because the only laws covering the issue were inadequate - one was passed in 1925 and the other, passed by Labour in 2000, was too vaguely worded to justify charges.
MPs are understood to believe that a new Act is necessary to set out the rules on honours and the penalties for breaking them.
The MPs' report will also confirm that Lord Levy, Tony Blair's personal fundraiser, tried to block the release of a document in the cash for honours affair.
He has tried to stop the committee publishing a letter from Sir Gulam Noon, who lent £250,000 to Labour before the 2005 election and was later nominated for a peerage. But the letter will be published with the MPs' report, and may shed new light on how Sir Gulam was persuaded to make his loan and keep it secret.

2014 National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
This October, the Rutherford Polk McDowell District Health Department is proud to participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women.
About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it's found and treated early.
- If you are a woman age 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms and how often to get them.
- If you are a woman age 50 to 74, be sure to get a mammogram every 2 years. *You may also choose to get them more often.
Talk to a doctor about your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours has had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms.

2014 National Immunization Awareness Month
We all need shots (also called vaccinations or immunizations) to help protect us from serious diseases. To help keep our community safe, [your organization] is proudly participating in National Immunization Awareness Month.
Shots can prevent serious diseases like the flu, measles, and tuberculosis (TB). It's important to know which shots you need and when to get them.
Everyone age 6 months and older needs to get a flu shot every year. Other shots work best when they are given at certain ages.
• If you have a child age 6 or younger, find out which shots your child needs.
• Find out which shots adults and teenagers need. (http://www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultImmSched/)
• Use this chart for adults to see if you are up to date on your shots. (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/downloads/adult/adult-schedule-easy-read.pdf)
• If you are pregnant, check out this recommended immunization schedule. (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/downloads/f_preg_chart.pdf)
Talk to your doctor or nurse to make sure that everyone in your family gets the shots they need. For more information, contact one of our offices to speak with a immunization nurse.
