Women's Empowerment Leader: Shonda B. White
Ever since Shonda White was young, she was a leader. "I was that girl in high school who was the captain of everything!" She led her church's choir at the age of 13 and she was homecoming queen. Shonda was basically destined to be a leader and the woman she is today. "I remember telling my best friend that I'd write a book," and fast forward to 2016, Shonda has two books under her belt.
Though she always knew she'd be this successful, Shonda had other dreams as well. "You could not tell me I was not going to be a back-up dancer." Though that did not work out, Shonda tried out to be a background dancer for Ciara, and Ciara told her she was a good dancer. Goals! The dancing did not work out, but Shonda's talents brought her to inspiring and helping others. When asked how she considered herself, she said "Women's Empowerment Leader." It's no secret that Shonda has a positive voice for women, giving insight on love, relationships, and marriage. "I just love helping people, that's why I'm here."
Though Shonda gives insight on many things, if she had to choose a subject to be of help, it would be relationships. "It's the foundation of everything. If the relationship is broken it messes you up."
Shonda takes personal experiences and gives insights on the do's and don'ts of life and relationships. She explains that people look at her and think everything is perfect. She writes to explain to people the process of her blessings. People need to feel that they are not alone, and Shonda gives them that comfort. With her new book, Don't Be A Wife To A Boyfriend, she puts all women on game. The first thing she teaches us is self-love.
Continuing with the life coaching, Shonda shares that her married supporters are feeling neglected. She plans on putting out a book for married women, as well as a motivational book for all her supporters. Shonda has been working towards her goal for years. From beginning a blog in 2008 to releasing her second book in 2016, Shonda inspires us all.
"Do what you can to get better at your craft," is the advice that Shonda leaves with us. To get more motivation follow her on Twitter : @ShondaBWhite and check out her book on Amazon: Don't Be A Wife To A Boyfriend.

Now I have mini-reviews for the first two episodes in Rhiannon Frater's In Darkness We Must Abide serial...
Episode One: Death Comes Home
|So much fun! I loved the creepy gothic feel that managed to be both modern and deliciously old-fashioned, with references to the novel Dracula, classic horror films, and more. Even though the episode is short, it gives us insight into two dangerous situations occurring on different timelines, and I'm so eager to see what happens! I feel like the lush, dark, gothic storytelling lends itself particularly well to the serial format. This is my first introduction to Rhiannon Frater's writing after hearing so many great things about her, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I'll be seeking out more of her work!
Episode Two: Death in the Shadows
Death in the Shadows continues the deliciously dark, modern gothic tale begun in Death Comes Home. In this episode, the danger multiplies and the stakes rise... I really grew to like Alisha more in this episode, and I love that Rhiannon Frater has created such strong female characters in Alisha and Vanora. I also love the way the author weaves in aspects of traditional vampire lore and stories--this tale feels very grounded in the gothic tradition of Bram Stoker and Anne Rice, while also having a modern edge to it. One new development that really intrigued me in this episode was the idea that vampires feel emotions more intensely than humans. I'm curious to see how Frater develops that throughout the series.
I'm not sure if the serial form has traditionally been used for horror fiction, but it works really well for this story. Can't wait to read more!

In typical The Wanted fashion, the new episode was filled with partying, girls and drama!
When the partying went too far and random girls showed up all over the guys' house, Nareesha complained to Siva and he was forced to talk to the other guys about it. Max and Nathan weren't really trying to hear what Siva had to say and Max even suggested that maybe Nareesha should just move out! Ouch! (But we totally agree...!)
Siva was PISSED over the whole ordeal and Max made it all better (not!) when he threw another party...the same night. The rest of the band noticed Max's crazy ways and talked to him about it the next day. Awesomely, the whole group kissed and made up...literally!
Then Tom's girlfriend, Kelsey, got her feelings hurt when unflattering pictures of her were released to the media and the guys' BIG bodyguard said something about it! RUDE! To make her feel better, Tom took her out and got her a beautiful charm bracelet!
The guys were also prepping to tape their new "Walks Like Rihanna" music video. Jay and Siva were forced to practice their dance moves at the studio more than the others. It became clear that Siva isn't the greatest dancer and Jay even did his best to portray him. It was hilarious! At the end of the show, the guys' new video was complete, and Siva was super upset he was not showcased in it more!
Get MORE and EXTRA details on the new episode HERE!
Thanks to this ep, our thoughts have been confirmed that Siva is the diva of the group and that his girlfriend just adds to it! We think there's DEF more drama with these two and the band to come! What about you?
Did you like the new ep? What was your favorite part?
Make sure you tune in next Sunday at 10 p.m. EST on E! for another all-new episode of The Wanted Life!

Euro plan limited, U.S. stocks fall - Obama's roadtrip - Obama hasn't decided on mortgages yet - Challenges ahead for retirees
EURO PLAN LIMITED, U.S. STOCKS FALL - WSJ's web hed "Franco-German Proposal Disappoints": "France and Germany on Tuesday proposed creating a post of head of the euro zone to shore up economic governance of the monetary union, but stopped short of more fundamental steps toward refashioning the area into a federal entity that would issue its own debt, disappointing investors hungry for a more radical solution to the euro-zone crisis. ... U.S. stocks initially rose as investors saw signs of broader cooperation in the euro zone, but fell after Mr. Sarkozy said increasing the euro-zone bailout fund wasn't on the agenda. Demand for U.S. Treasuries surged and the price of gold also rose, as did the cost of insuring euro-zone sovereign debt against default." http://on.wsj.com/n80xvK
SAW IT HERE FIRST: CONSUMERS RECOVERING, BUT STILL DISTRESSED - On a 100-point scale, the CredAbility Consumer Distress Index came in at 69.20 for Q2, up from 68.15 in the first quarter and 66.58 in the year-ago quarter. The index analyzes and rolls up data from five categories -- housing, employment, credit, household budget and net worth. A score below 70 indicates consumers are in financial distress.
Story Continued Below
"Many people have made the tough choices needed to live within their means," said Mark Cole, executive vice president of Atlanta-based CredAbility and author of the index. "Unemployment and underemployment continue to cause hardships for millions of families and weigh heavily on the confidence of the nation. But a positive emerging trend is that families are handling their personal finances more wisely." http://www.credability.org/cdivideo
STILL, ECONOMY MUST BREAK ADDICTION TO CONSUMER SPENDING - In an essay for The Atlantic, economist Michael Mandel argues there are challenges in an era of imported goods with relying on consumers -- who have driven past recoveries.
"The big problem with consumer spending is that if you buy a product made outside the U.S., it doesn't encourage domestic investment. And that's what we really need. In the past, a dollar spent on a shirt would start a virtuous circle, as the clothing factory expanded, adding more workers and buying new sewing machines. That investment in new machines, in turn, would create more business for the sewing machine company, who would then hire more workers who would need new shirts. Today, the cycle is happening overseas. ... If we want Americans to prosper, we need consumer spending to become less important to the economy, not more. In the end, we need a production economy, not a consumption economy." http://bit.ly/pYNO8b
GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING - With help from the incomparable Zack Abrahamson, M.M. was put together after several Intelligentsia espressos by Josh Boak ( email@example.com; Twitter: @joshboak).
DRIVING THE DAY - Obama in Illinois on final day of bus tour ... Biden in China ... Dallas Fed President Fisher will speak about Fed functions and monetary policy at 1:20 p.m. ... July inflation measure Producer Price Index announced at 8:30 a.m., with consensus at a 0.1 percent increase.
OBAMA'S ROADTRIP - By not announcing any major economic proposals, the president's pre-vacation tour of the Corn Belt seems unmistakably like a campaign event, with stops at an antique store, DeWitt Dairy Treats and Kernel Cody's Popcorn Shoppe.
POLITICO's Abby Phillip has the play-by-play from the president's interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, in which Obama "defended his administration's work to coax Congress to act on infrastructure investments, free trade deals with South Korea and Panama, and payroll tax breaks for workers. 'The truth is everything we've done has been related to jobs, starting back with the Recovery Act,' Obama said." http://politi.co/qZJfvn
Bloomberg's Julianna Goldman, "The Midwest tour is reminiscent of Obama's campaign swings though the area in 2008, including the same music soundtrack." http://bloom.bg/pQauu4
NYT's Mark Landler and Jeff Zeleny: "With no grand plans to offer, Mr. Obama is framing the race not as a referendum on his record but as a choice between competing visions for the country — 'big and bold and generous,' he said, or 'cramped'"" http://nyti.ms/nI0ihn
NYT EDITORIAL ASKS OBAMA, WHERE'S THE BEEF? - "Now, on a bus tour in the Midwest, he is bitterly pointing the finger at his opponents for their refusal to consider any new revenues to tackle the deficit and their insistence on deep near-term spending cuts that will only cause more economic pain. His anger is long overdue. But it would be much more effective if he combined it with strong ideas of his own for how to fix the economy, rather than the thin agenda he is now promoting." http://nyti.ms/o1esll
And check out what the Grey Lady thinks the agenda should be: http://nyti.ms/o1esll
The Wash Post notes the presidential bus drove past the setting for "Field of Dreams." Any word if someone inside the bus quoted the flick's famed line, "If you build it, he will come"?
RT @JustinWolfers - Who would win an unemployed only primary? Consider: There are more than 4 times as many unemployed people as there are Iowans.
OBAMA HASN'T DECIDED ON MORTGAGES YET - The Treasury Department pushed back on yesterday's Washington Post front pager about the government continuing to be a "major player" in mortgages.
Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin blogged: "The Obama Administration believes that the private sector - subject to strong oversight and consumer protection - should be the dominant provider of mortgage credit. That's why, in each of the three options we outlined in our report to Congress, the government's footprint in the housing finance market will shrink substantially." http://1.usa.gov/pRxgLt
Of course, the government's role will inevitably shrivel because Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Administration and other government entities are currently involved in 90 percent of new mortgages.
Treasury mind meld: The president hasn't made a decision yet, hasn't told his advisers which way to go on the three options. Congress is obviously a big part of the housing finance reform process. Any ultimate solution to housing finance reform has to be bipartisan. It's not as if we put forth a proposal and its Xeroxed by Congress.FITCH KEEPS U.S. AT AAA, SAYS WILL REVIEW AFTER SUPER COMMITTEE DELIBERATES. http:// on.wsj.com/no3VXH
CHALLENGES AHEAD FOR RETIREES -Were you so distracted by the debt drama and the S&P downgrade that you completely forgot about the ticking time bomb of retiree benefits? Fortunately, M.M. checked out the annual conference of the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers.
In his prepared remarks today, New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli -- who oversees a $146.5 billion retirement fund -- will warn that the recent political controversy over public employee pensions is misplaced:
"Instead of focusing on pension costs, we should be more concerned with our new problem of retirement -- Millions of Americans whose retirement savings consist of 401ks with an average balance of $46,000. Twenty years from now, we could have an entire generation of retirees who don't have enough money to get by -- and who are dependent on government. We can't afford to walk away from this problem. Perhaps it's time for a national commission to talk about ways to address the retirement security challenge facing those with inadequate retirement resources."
EXPORTS TO CHINA INCREASING - According to a report released today by the US-China Business Council, 333 out of 435 congressional districts had higher growth in exports to China in 2010 than they did to the rest of the world.
"China is our third largest export market and is growing faster than many of our other major destinations for American manufactured goods and agriculture products," USCBC Vice President Erin Ennis said. "The nearly $76 billion increase in exports to China during 2000-10 exceeded growth in every other market for US goods and farm products. US exports to Canada and Mexico rose $69.3 billion and $52 billion, respectively. Brazil was a distant fourth with just a $20 billion increase." http://bit.ly/pN6xUd
WSJ's Brilliant Headline: "Chinese Hunger for Corn Stretches Farm Belt" http://on.wsj.com/nzBiP0
U.S. CHAMBER ASKS SUPERCOMMITTEE FOR ENTITLEMENT/TAX REFORMS - Chamber Executive VP for Government Affairs R. Bruce Josten writes in a letter that the committee must "act expeditiously to rein in spending, reduce the deficit, and stabilize and ultimately lower America's level of debt ... [and] reform entitlement programs and fundamentally restructure the U.S. tax code to bring revenue and spending back into alignment."
Here's an inside take on how financial services firms are getting ready for the committee: "Like others, there are segments of the financial services industry that are very concerned that they could be on the table being served up as cuts by the super committee. The level of concern differs amongst various segments of the industry, and like many other industries, the real question is to what, if any extent, tax reform in some shape of form, will be included in the super committee's recommendations. At this point, the majority of the work has been to try to obtain intelligence on how the committee will work and to strategize about the best ways to influence it. The real work starts on September 6th."
GOOD LUCK TRYING TO RAISE TAXES ON HEDGE FUNDS - Analysis by CNBC's John Carney: http://www.cnbc.com/id/44158922
MORE EUROPE TROUBLES - WSJ: "The German and euro-zone economies slowed to a snail's pace in the second quarter, raising the risk of a period of stagnation or possibly even recession, just when Europe badly needs growth to help it escape the debt crisis on its periphery. ... Euro-zone gross domestic product rose 0.7% at an annualized rate in the second quarter, according to data from the European Union's statistics agency Eurostat, half the rate economists expected." http://on.wsj.com/os7xtw

SHHHH! WE'RE RECORDING AN ALBUM - (h/t NPR's Planet Money) Billboard has an intriguing glimpse at the extreme level of security rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West went through to keep their new album, "Watch the Throne," from leaking. Whether you like the music or not, this is a story for the digital era. And if they're doing this for an album, imagine the steps taken by nuclear engineers in Iran and North Korea:
"Tracks were saved directly to password-protected external hard drives that remained locked in Goldstein's Pelican briefcase. At no point during the album's creation did works-in-progress reside on laptop hard drives. ... Outside producers for the project, such as Q-Tip, the RZA, the Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, Hit-Boy and No I.D., were asked to appear in person to preview and submit potential beats. Email wasn't an option to send mixes; when West wanted to hear a track, he would demand that producers travel to his location to work on a track." http://bit.ly/nthO7j

Darling Review
Last Friday, RGV received flak from all and sundry for attempting a remake of Sholay. The venom spewed in views, opinions, reviews, sms-es… everywhere. RGV has lost it, was the unanimous feedback.
Yet another RGV offering hits the marquee this Friday -- Darling -- but this one is no remake, although it does bring back memory of two films mainly, GHOST [which, in turn, inspired a slew of Bollywood movies] and Bhatts' RAAZ. Though dissimilar, flashes of BHOOT also cross your mind as you watch Darling.
It's difficult to slot Darling in any one category. It's eerie, it's humorous, it has the song-n-dance routine [well knitted in the plot], it doesn't belong to any particular genre. Actually, Darling is a novel experience since Hindi films have rarely combined horror and comedy -- two diverse ingredients -- in one film. Trust RGV to think out of the box and fortunately, it works!

Good For You Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
These aren't just any cookies. Oh no. Yes, they are chewy and crunchy and sweet. But they are also good for you.
Years ago, I came across a recipe for cookies made with canola oil. And while with certain recipes I am definitely a purest (Low fat alfredo? Uh..No.) there are as many cookie recipes out there as there are people. Variety is good. We should all have variety in our lives. And a cookie made with canola oil tells me two things. First of all, it means I don't have to have softened butter on hand or take the time to cream it with sugar. Second, it means that I can cut out fat and calories, making the recipe better for my arteries. But none of those things is worth it if the food tastes terrible. Taste is the ultimate deciding factor in any recipe. So I started experimenting. And ultimately, this was the result.
You dump the ingredients in a bowl, mix it up, and bake them. They are fast, easy, and while they do have a wonderful amount of brown sugar in them-hence, the crispy and chewy texture we all crave in a cookie-they are as good for you as they can be and still taste like a treat. I make these all the time. Especially when we have company over. Its fun to pass them around and see the look on their face, which is inevitably followed by "These are good for you? Wow!"
So direct from my kitchen to yours. Give them a try. And maybe have two! Good For You Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies-Recipe modified 1/7/13
You can absolutely use any combination of dried fruit and chocolate and even nuts that you like!
In a large bowl, combine:
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1 c canola oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Add: 3/4 c oatmeal
1/4 c wheat germ
1 c white whole wheat flour or whole wheat flour
1 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Mix until well combined and add 1 c chocolate chips and 1 c dried cranberries. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a greased or parchment covered sheet pan, pressing to flatten just slightly. Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly golden brown on top.

China's ex-president publishes book about himself
It's not going to contain juicy details like Bill Clinton's memoirs, but Jiang Zemin has penned a book of his own.india Updated: Jul 31, 2006 15:54 IST
It's not going to contain juicy details like Bill Clinton's memoirs, but China's former president has penned a book of his own.
The book, titled For a Better World: Jiang Zemin's Overseas Visits, was released at a ceremony at Beijing's Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on Sunday, the Xinhua news agency said.
At 654 pages, the publication about Jiang's official travels from 1990 to 2002 does not promise to be a page-turner but it is getting publicity in the state-run press and a lot of fanfare.
After all, it's not every day that Chinese leaders, current or retired, write autobiographies. Much of the basic information about them, including what their children do for a living, is never disclosed by the state media.
More than 400 Chinese diplomats, officials and scholars, including State Councillor Tang Jiaxuan and former Vice-Premier Qian Qichen, attended the book-launching Sunday, Xinhua said.
Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing wrote the foreword.
|Jiang Zemin's memoirs are unique because much of the basic information about leaders, whether current or retired, is never disclosed by the state media
The book covers most of Jiang's diplomatic activities during the 13 years when he was communist party general secretary and then president.
It starts with Jiang's three-day visit to North Korea in 1990 and ends with his visit to the United States in 2002 when he was invited to US President George W. Bush's ranch -- a much sought-after invitation by Jiang.
The publication also gives detailed accounts of Jiang's attendance at Hong Kong's and Macau's handover ceremonies in 1997 and 1999 respectively as well as his personal contacts with world leaders, Xinhua said.
The 79-year-old former leader is seen by many as more charismatic than his successor Hu Jintao.
Unlike the often cautious and wooden-looking Hu, Jiang has sung karaoke at dinners he hosted for foreign leaders and openly lectured Hong Kong reporters who irked him. He also has a penchant for classical music.
The book's publication is one of the few times Jiang has surfaced since he gave up his last official post as head of the military in March 2005, marking his final resignation. He resigned as Communist Party chief in 2002 and as president in 2003.

If there were rules to making a movie, one indie director would break them all!
Savage! Sadistic! Thrill hungry! When it came to independent filmmaking in the sunshine state, William Grefé was the wildest of the wild! During the 1960s and '70s, the Miami-based producer/director transformed the darkest corners of the Florida swamps into his own personal backlot. From rampaging crocodiles possessed by an ancient Seminole witch doctor (DEATH CURSE OF TARTU) to a slithering serpent named STANLEY, William Grefé would grind out low-budget exploitation films for drive-ins and hardtops around the world. Now, without the benefit of cages or other protective devices, the untold story of Florida's most daring moviemaker comes to the screen...IN PSYCHEDELIC COLOR!

It's probably important to point out, at least every once and a while, that although we are writing about our travel blogs (for those of you who read them when they come out), in the present tense; but in reality, our first few trips actually happened two to three years ago.
When we started traveling Missouri back roads we had no intention of blogging about our adventures. The only reason we even have evidence we took these trips is because I'm a writer. It just comes naturally to jot down my thoughts and observations regardless of what I'm doing.
Which is good, since now I have pre-packaged material to work from so to speak.
But it's also been a bit fun to reread these entries to see where we went and what we did, even if it's also been a bit of a reality check to realize how poor our memories truly are. Case in point: neither of us remembered going to Belgrade until we reread this entry: which means either the city made a particularly lackluster impression on both of us, or we need to get some serious medical attention.
From the entry, we now know we went in July of 2010, and that it was a side trip on our way to meeting our son Colin in Cape Girardeau, a city located just above the southeastern part of the state known as the bootheel because of it's foot-like shape. However, I've always thought it looks more like a cloven hoof, which obviously would not go over well in the Bible Belt.
My notations about the weather that day sound delightfully wonderful in the dead of winter: "Hot, hot, hot and the humidity somewhere between off the charts and you don't want to know." The rest of the entry goes something like this…
It's a good weekend to get away. Paul's been battling crappy-work syndrome for what seems like forever and I'm stuck in limbo on two (please make it be true) writing jobs. Both of us are drained, washed out and ready to be hung out to dry. Getting away means leaving the depressive home atmosphere and battling the frustration of the open road – a welcomed change.
I'm personally looking forward to a more stream of consciousness writing that keeps my mind and my hand busy throughout the trip. And although he complains when the hours add up and about how his butt falls asleep, I know Paul likes the feel of the accelerator under his foot and the forceful spin he gives the steering wheel – the almost God-like power over a machine is liberating when you seem to have little power in your life.
Highway 70 is moving along pretty well as we pass the Centralia exit. Heading due east, the sun beats through the window, making the inside of the car feel like a working kiln, cooking our arms and legs, while the air-conditioning struggles to keep up. We feel as if one with the other cars on the road on this Saturday morning, appearing to move almost in unison although with speeds exceeding 7o miles per hour. I watch the drivers and passengers alike who have the appearance of going somewhere, but I'm sure they are just as lost in their own thoughts as I am in mine. For that's the way it is on the open road, and that's the real reason we go places in the first place – to let our minds wander; our destinations are merely stopping points so we don't just keep going and never come back.
Today, I think about road trips I use to take with my family when I was younger; when my Dad was behind the wheel instead of my husband, and vacations were few and far between.
I remember going to Colorado when I was around 11 and my sister was 6 or so. I marvel at the fact that all four of us spent two days cramped into a two-door, candy-apple red 1966 mustang (a sweet ride at the time, and a collector's item today). But such were the times, ruled by different priorities and expectations; neither better or worse, just different.
As I finish copying the words from this entry written almost three years ago, I'm so glad I took the time to record our journeys, our thoughts and adventures. Not because we are able to use them in our blogs today, but because they represent snippets of our lives that although don't amount to anything monumental, are important to remember nonetheless. For they were moments that moved us forward to where we are today.
For this is what travel is really all about.
Next entry: Belgrade

The Real 401k Plan Manager 10 April 2017
Written by Lance Roberts, Clarity Financial
The Real 401k Plan Manager - A Conservative Strategy For Long-Term Investors
Please share this article - Go to very top of page, right hand side for social media buttons.
There are 4-steps to allocation changes based on 25% reduction increments. As noted in the chart above a 100% allocation level is equal to 60% stocks. I never advocate being 100% out of the market as it is far too difficult to reverse course when the market changes from a negative to a positive trend. Emotions keep us from taking the correct action.
Trump Trade Fading?
Over the last several weeks, I have been writing the 401k model needs to be adjusted up to 100% equity allocation. We still have a couple of the seasonally strong months of the year left ahead of us, and as noted above, the bullish trend remains intact.
The current consolidation in the market over the last few weeks, and the current risk/reward setup as noted above, is moving us toward an opportunity to incrementally increase exposure most likely in the next week or so.
As noted in the 401k-chart above, the current extension above the moving average has started to correct. The buy signals are beginning to contract and the deviation above the long-term average is being reduced. As long as the correction process is confined to a bullish trend, a short-term buy signal will allow for an increase in the model exposure.
The markets continue to hold together hoping for some movement on fiscal policy. However, the weak employment report on Friday may buy investors some time the slide in economic data may sideline the Fed from further rate hikes in June. This could be bullish for equities in the short term and we will likely know the market's answer next week.
I did note four weeks ago, the run-up in interest rates HAD put bonds into a favorable position to add exposure in portfolios. That suggestion played out very favorably but with rates now back to short-term overbought condition, refrain from adding further fixed income holdings until the market bounces.
If you need help after reading the alert; don't hesitate to contact me.
Current 401-k Allocation Model
The 401k plan allocation plan below follows the K.I.S.S. principal. By keeping the allocation extremely simplified it allows for better control of the allocation and a closer tracking to the benchmark objective over time. (If you want to make it more complicated you can, however, statistics show that simply adding more funds does not increase performance to any great degree.)
401k Choice Matching List
The list below shows sample 401k plan funds for each major category. In reality, the majority of funds all track their indices fairly closely. Therefore, if you don't see your exact fund listed, look for a fund that is similar in nature.

What's wrong with isometric icons? That's one of the things I really miss in tango. I think we should continue with the Echo effort, but it
One problem with isometric icons is that they are harder to create and as a consequence not so many people will contribute to the development. But it you are one of the main icon designers and you like drawing in this perspective, I say "more power to you!" Another problem with isometric icons is they don't work well at smaller size. So you will need two versions: isometric for large icons and top-down for small icons and will wave to work a lot more. (Of course, Tangoicons have also different icons for small and large size, but they use similar perspective, so it a bit easier).
would be perhaps good to base them more on tango - i.e. use our styling and perspective, but mostly tango or gnome shapes. The echo icons are great so far, I even heard an opinion that they are better then oxygen icons, they have touch of Fedora and there would me many people disappointed if we stopped the effort. I think there is nothing wrong about working on our own project
+1Even if I am not a fan of Echo and contributed only very few icons to the collection, my opinion is: if you have fun working on Echo, then work on it, you have my support.

BUGS- I dont think I have to explain anymore but I will. Bugs allover the bed, the sink, the desk. We asked the night auditor to come up (mind you we didnt tell him why) but he came up prepared with a rag and bug spray in hand. Thats when we knew we had to pack up and get out of there. Clearly it was a foreseeable situation on the property's part and I find that highly untolerable for a them to know that they have a situation and are still inviting guests to stay at thier property. Tried to check out early- they all refused to refund money for the remaining two nights. I left the hotel to find a new one on collins ave. (which is a much better location closer to the beach) They charged me the full stay so i have to let my bank clear it up. I hope each person gets to see this review, I am in the hospitality field so I am not bias and I am stating facts. Please avoid this hotel at all costs. Even the little things they do such as a $10 dollar deposit for the remote control or $10 deposit for the iron( no board included ) is absoulutely absurd. The manager was unavailable the entire stay and the employees were EXTREMELY underqualified to be working there- but that is how the establishment is run. Save your money and go to an actual property- this one does NOT count. I don't know how they have stayed in business so long.

CPR Annie is the mannequin which 300 million people around the world have learned CPR on but little do they know, that her face was based off a real Frenchwoman - or so it goes. The story of the 19th century behind the model has been told countless times, in different ways and versions, but the truth lies in a small workshop in the busy Parisian suburb of Arcueil.
The last of its kind, the Lorenzi workshop has stood strong since the 1870s, with the mouleurs, or cast-makers, priding themselves on passed-down techniques from generations ago to create figurines, busts and statues. Upstairs, in a room above the workshop in a narrow attic, life and death masks of poets and artists, politicians and revolutionaries: Napoleon, Verlaine, Victor Hugo, Beethoven, and many others, hold pieces of history.
The tragic story of L'Inconnue de la SeineYet, at Lorenzi's, the best-seller is the mask of a young pleasant and attractive woman, with the hint of a smile playing on her lips. Like many other death masks, her eyes are closed, but at a glance, they look like they might open at any moment. She holds no name, only known as L'Inconnue de la Seine.
Her story is a tragic one. In late 19th century, she drowned and was recovered from the River Seine. Her body was then put on display at the Paris mortuary - a custom in those days - in the hope that someone would identify and take her. One of the pathologists was entranced by her enigmatic half-smile that he asked a moulder to take a plaster cast of her face.
Soon, her death mask became popular. It was on sale outside the mouleurs' workshops and became a muse of artists, novelists and poets, creating fictional identities around the mystery woman - the drowned Mona Lisa. At one time, all fashionable European drawing rooms had a mask of the Inconnue on the wall.
But Inconnue was granted a place in medical history thanks to a near-drowning incident in Norway, six decades later.
Given a new life in medical historyIn 1955, Asmund Laerdal, a toymaker, saved the life of his young son, Tore, by fishing his lifeless body out of the water and clearing his airways in time. Specialising in making children's dolls and model cars from a new generation of soft plastics, he was approached by Peter Safar, an Austrian doctor who pioneered the CPR technique, to make a training aid for the newly-invented technique.
Laerdal was receptive to the idea due to his son's earlier experience, and went on to develop a torso to simulate an unconscious patient requiring CPR. However, he wanted the mannequin to have a natural appearance and felt that a female doll would seem less threatening to trainees - men were also uncomfortable performing mouth-to-mouth on male dummies.
A trip to an elderly relative's home gave inspiration to Laerdal. He saw the death mask of Inconnue and decided she would be the face of Resusci Anne. By choosing her mask, Laerdal turned Resusci Anne into a memorial of the unknown Frenchwoman who drowned in River Seine.
The true mystery behind the maskBut was the Inconnue actually dead in the first place? What if her face was taken from a live model?
When shown the mask, Pascal Jacquin, Chief Brigadier of the Paris river police, known as the Brigade Fluviale, was less than convinced that the girl was dead when the mask was made.
"It's surprising to see such a peaceful face," he said, "Everyone we find in the water, the drowned and suicides, they never look so peaceful. They're swollen, they don't look nice."
Pascal's experience from years of pulling dead bodies out of the Seine depicts a very different scene, contrary to what many artists and writers have created in stories like Ophelia, portraying drowning as a peaceful death. Those who committed suicide also fight for life at the last moment, as their faces show the struggle - the process of decomposition also begins much more quickly in water too.
This woman, he remarked, "looks like she's just asleep and waiting for Prince Charming to come".
Other experts also agree that the Inconnue was too healthy to be a death mask. But this uncertainty and enigma is what makes the Inconnue so captivating.
Whatever the circumstances of her death, she is now famous for saving lives. MIMS

text: husband has an impulse control problem and I. am. livid. I suspected he was planning to go to a casino yesterday and he confirmed it when he called me on his way there after working on chores with his sibs at his parents' house. I've had discussions with him about our finances so he knows how I feel about throwing money away when we can't afford to do that. He didn't ask me how much was available for him (none) when he called. It was just an FYI call. The amount we had in our checking account would have "just" covered a credit card payment I made on Friday which will likely hit our account tomorrow (Monday). Fearful that he would go to an ATM and see that amount and think he could tap whatever he wanted, I transferred most of it to our savings account, which I only maintain $25 in as a requirement of being a member at this credit union (the interest is negligible so I keep other savings elsewhere). That left about $142 available in checking. He withdrew $100 (plus the ATM fee) when he got there as far as I could see when I logged into our account. I went to bed around midnight. husband rolled in around 4am. That was annoying as it is because he's supposed to drive with me to pick up difficult child 1 from camp this morning and it's 100 miles each way. How did he think he'd be fresh enough to drive that far on 3 or 4 hours of sleep? I just checked our account, and that dastard withdrew an additional $280 plus fees from our SAVINGS account where I'd stashed the money!!! I am so flaming angry I am tempted to take his ATM card away AND his credit cards. But I'm not going to do that. I AM going to call the psychiatrist and rat out husband and I'm going to INSIST to husband that he discuss this issue with psychiatrist when he goes for his appointment on the 9th. Meanwhile, I transferred back what was left of the money and have had to transfer MORE money from my emergency account held elsewhere and cross my fingers it gets there before the credit card payment posts to our account. I'm going to kick his proverbial **** if we get hit with overdraft fees (to the tune of about $28 per transaction) because of this.

Eddie Jackson, a football player turned personal trainer and chef, won the 10th season of "Food Network Star" Sunday, scoring a mild upset over Jay Ducote, the Cajun cook whom most observers had pegged as the favorite.
But Eddie's win was not exactly a shock, either. He had emerged from the pack early in the contest and had many excellent moments throughout. Both he and Jay proved themselves adept in front of the camera.
The same couldn't be said of third-place finisher Dom Tesoriero, who looked like the best chef of the three finalists but lacked the telegeneity of his rivals. On the Food Network, cooking increasingly is taking a back seat to hosting, and Dom's lack of skill there doomed him.
The "pilots" the finalists made as their final challenge proved that. They were sent under the tutelage of Rachael Ray to make food-tourism shows, not cooking shows.
Eddie is a former NFL player, having spent five seasons as a defensive back for four different teams. He also was a contestant on Fox's "MasterChef" in 2013, finishing eighth.
The "Food Network Star" 9 p.m. Sunday time slot will be taken up by "The Great Food Truck Race" starting this week. The show returns for a sixth season despite having lost its mojo somewhere in the middle of Season 2.
Irvine-based burger truck GD Bro will compete, with locals Mark Cruz, Kevin Nguyen and Geoffrey Manilla manning the restaurant on wheels.
"Big Brother" 8 p.m. Wednesday, 9 p.m. Thursday and 8 p.m. Sunday, CBS The double elimination last week hardly surprised the remaining House Guests, who had been chattering about the possibility. After Shelli Poole was eliminated as expected, Steve Moses won the Head of Household and nominated Meg Maley and Jackie Ibarra. Again, the players were unfazed, and quickly voted Jackie out, 6-1.
Shelli's twin, Liz Nolan, won the next HOH and nominated Becki Burgess and John McGuire. The veto competition will air Wednesday, and the elimination vote will be live Thursday.
"America's Got Talent" 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, NBC Twelve more acts perform Tuesday, with seven making it through to the next round on Wednesday's results show.
"MasterChef" 8 p.m. Wednesday, Fox Olivia Crouppen of Thousand Oaks went home last week after one of the more interesting Pressure Tests of the season. The four cooks involved had to use animal heads as their main ingredient: halibut, lamb, pig and, Olivia's choice, steer.
"America's Next Top Model" 8 p.m. Wednesday, the CW The appearance of "Property Brothers" Drew and Jonathan Scott didn't make much sense, nor breathe much life into the episode. The cut to the final 22 contestants was left as a cliffhanger, to be revealed Wednesday.
"Project Runway" 9 p.m. Thursday, Lifetime David Giampiccolo, one of five California designers in the cast of 16, became the second casualty of Season 14. The unconventional-materials challenge had the designers using Hallmark cards to make their looks. Edmond Newton, who finished in the top three the previous week, won.
"So You Think You Can Dance" 8 tonight, Fox Last week's cut to the top 10 was brutal and a bit surprising, as two of the four dancers who left had never been in trouble before. Kate Harpootlian and Arianna Crowder were expected to go, but losing Yorelis Apolinario and Alexia Meyer was surprising – especially with Derek Piquette making his third trip to the bottom 6.
"Bachelor in Paradise" 8 tonight, ABC Megan Bell and Amber James from Chris Soules' season of "The Bachelor" are scheduled to join the show tonight.

Hidden at the bottom of the hill on the corner of first and Main Street, the South Troy Diner is one of the best kept secrets Troy has to offer. The diner is only a two minute drive down Route 4 away from campus. The ride is quick and the food and service are great.
"Even though I'm full now, I can't wait to get back and eat some more," said first time patron Jim Bungay. "The food was fast and great and Natalie is impeccable," he continued. "Overall I thought the experience was excellent."
Established in 1991, the diner has been putting out fast dishes for almost twentyfive years. Most people are stunned when they see how fast the meals come out. The average ticket time for a breakfast dish is roughly five minutes.
Their cook, John Zwack, has 30 years of experience and seems to be getting better and faster. As soon as he receives an order the food is already on the grill. "Omelettes are my favorite dish to cook," said Zwack. "It's a creative dish because you can put anything in them." John is a one man wrecking crew in the kitchen and is the fastest short order cook this side of the Mississippi.
Breakfast is his specialty and he gets it out quick. Even though breakfast is a big part of the business, the South Troy Diner has a full menu and has much more to offer.
Anibal Flores, owner of the diner, decided that he want to offer a variety of dishes. The menu has over fifty dishes from pancakes to burgers. "The reason why I have such a big menu is because I want to offer more choices to different people," he said.
They also have daily specials that are not on the menu that they whip up for their patrons. Everything is homemade including their desserts made by waitress Natalie Williams, who has over 30 of experience as well.
"I make grandma style desserts from scratch that are different every day," said Williams. She has a wide range of pies, cheesecakes, and a strawberry shortcake with homemade biscuits. Williams won't sell you her secrets, but will serve you a slice of her upside down pineapple cake. The assortment of dishes and desserts makes customers leaving satisfied.
With the combination of sixty years experience between the diner team, they've come up with a formula on how to leave visitors satisfied. They work very well with owner Anibal Flores to put out a great product and ambiance.
The South Troy Diner is open Tuesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The total experience including the ride to and from campus should only take about forty five minutes. So if you have an hour or so in between classes, go to the bottom of the hill and do yourself a favor.

The number of Amur leopards in the wild in the Far East of Russia has dramatically increased, say wildlife experts.
Do you like my gloves? Lucky photographer Valery Maleyev pictures Amur leopard with unusual white 'gloves'. Picture: Valery Maleyev
A new survey has found that the threat of extinction has eased compared with 2007 when no more than 35 animals were known to exist. The latest count suggests they number 48 to 50 in the southwest region of the Primorsky Territory.
'But even 50 are very few. When there are 70-100, then one can say that the species is not endangered', said Sergei Aramilev, programme coordinator for the Amur regional organisation of the World Wildlife Fund.
The count was made by following tracks, using DNA analysis and photo-monitoring in their natural habitat in the taiga. The findings amounted to a 'pleasant surprise' for experts, reported Itar-Tass.
The leopards are also roaming a wider area than in the 2007 survey. The specialists found a whole family living on the Russian-Chinese border with five new cats added to the population. The territory of the Amur leopard includes areas of China and North Korea.

In a hopeful sign for the future, more than half the leopards located in the recent big cat census were inside a vast new national park called Land of Leopard, which occupies 280,000 hectares.
In January, Primorsky region governor Vladimir Miklushevsky signed a decree on a new national park, approved by the Kremlin to protect the endangered cat. Poaching is seen as the biggest threat to the leopard, though climate change and human encroachment are other factors, say experts.

I'm so behind on posts, and even though I have a backlog of cards and other things to talk about, I really want to show off my first almost-completely unassisted sewing project.
I made these two aprons as thank-you gifts for my friends Heather and Hilary, who threw Jesse and me a fantastic baby shower on Saturday. The food was delicious, the decorations were adorable, and the company was terrific. We had such a great time.
The pattern is See&Sew B5411. Up until now, everything I've sewn has been in a class. When I started these aprons, I realized I'd never read a pattern before, let alone made anything without someone there looking over my shoulder. But it only took one call to mom to clarify how to gather a ruffle, and I figured it all out. Completing them both took probably about 20 hours spread over 5ish days. I finished the second one the morning of the shower–because even when I'm doing something I love, I can't fight the urge to procrastinate.
Speaking of procrastination…I have a make-and-take to design for tomorrow morning.

Sometimes it's hard to be a "patient" patient
Tuesday, January 08, 2013
It was a long day at the oncology clinic today, more time spent just waiting than anything else. My appointment was at 11am but I did not get called in to see my doctor til after 12:15pm. Nothing new to report except he says it's time for a bone scan again, I'm getting that done on the 29th of this month. Then it was more waiting til I got a room for the chemo, then waiting for the lab work to come back before it could be started. My hemoglobin went down lower from last week, which did not surprise me, as tired as I have been. I had more waiting after my Zofran (for nausea) drip was done, it happened to be lunch hour there for the nurses so there was about a half hour wait til my actual chemo was started.
I have next week off from chemo, but I have to go in and get a blood count done, because chances are, the chemo I had to today will probably make my hemoglobin drop some more and it's possible I may need a blood transfusion.
Yesterday I had lunch out with my mom and some friends, and then went grocery shopping. I got tired out from that, of course, but I think today was even more tiring with the all the waiting around I did. I did not get home til after 2:30pm today. Usually the waiting around doesn't bother me that much, especially since I spend that time reading, but today, the wait for everything was longer than usual and it was quite irritating today. It's funny how people waiting to see the doctor or get medical things done are called "patients", with the amount of waiting involved it's hard to be a "patient patient", LOL!

You have a great attitude. I know you will say--well, what are you gonna do! But you still impress me. And I know you'd probably not want to have the 'wonderful' opportunity to prove it. It does not seem at all fair that you should have to wait so long. The process is yuky enough.
Do you have any special events happening to take your mind off this stuff? I hope so. And does someone go with you to the appointments? It was weird, but my daughter's boyfriend just took me too and from my colonoscopy appointment. I , of course, asked her but she had just started a new, overwhelming project at work.
Saying a few more prayers for your good health and the peace to endure the process of getting there.

Johannesburg - A baby was among three people killed when a taxi overturned on the Mabopane highway on Saturday, Tshwane Metro police said.
"The left tyre of a taxi burst. The driver lost control and the vehicle overturned," said Tshwane Metro police spokesperson Louise Brits.
She said that the baby - which appeared to have been about 6-months-old - was killed, along with a man and a woman.
One person was airlifted to hospital. Five other people were being treated for serious injuries.
Three people sustained minor injuries.
And what are the cops busy with today?
They are trapping BMW's and Mercs on the N1, N3 and N12. Cars with service plans and every safety device man has invented.
So on and on our people get killed in these taxi death traps because our cops are busy taking bribes from the rich in German cars.
What about the smart ones driving Lexus?
Has this really got anything to do with the loss of life what vehicle one drives? It simply goes about the road worthiness of vehicles, which I am sure most would agree with, that the law enforcement officers are NOT doing enough to stop the carnage on our roads. The law in SA should be like overseas. Every motor vehicle has to go for a complete road worthy check once a year!! Yes, lately it has been mostly taxi's, but believe me, there are MANY other "lovely" vehicles on our roads which are not licensed and not roadworthy. Condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased.
Says he driving a BMW.
Just teasing you Ettienne. You are absolutely right!
How come? after all those staments from minister and his people. l knew its all talk and talk, nothing will be done.
i use this road almost everyday n i must say this is one of the most notorious roads in gauteng that needs special attention from traffic department.
So Azanian its the road that causes the deaths and carnage
10 million cars in South Africa and the festive death toll is already at around a 1000. There are 16 million cars in Australia and the festive death toll is on 35. The death rate is 4,500% higher in South Africa per vehicle! Go figure!
kyk maar wie is die bestuurders? Mense wat nie afstand kan skat nie, mense wat hulle lisensies koop, mense wat bestuur soos eiers en jaag en kanse vat. Taxibestuurders is die skuldiges want hulle het 'n hele gehoor vir wie hulle moet wys hoe dapper is hulle. Busbestuurders wat op die besige N1 mekaar verbysteek sodat die voertuie van die pad af moet ry.
Mr Transport Minister the key word over Xmas in the road carnage is TAXI, TAXI,TAXI,TAXI,TAXI,TAXI,TAXI,TAXI
I have to agree with you: speaking to an elderly black employee of a relative of mine, he expressed fear at having to take a taxi from Pretoria to get to his family in Kroonstad.
In his words "the taxi accidents are what make the statistics look bad. It is these young taxi drivers with a week-old license that kill people. They have no respect, no experience and no tolerance. They are arrogant and stupid."
I wish gov would be more creative with their statistics (like with the crime that went "down"???!!) and give us a graphical breakdown of vehicles involved, vehicle age and upkeep for those, driver details, demographics on injured and deceased .. that will tell a nice story, won't it?
I am glad you did not mention AUDI's
people with an iq lower than 90 SHOULDNT be allowed to work in government. they reason why people are killed on the roads cause they cant sort out the taxi problems and so forth....
I was at the scene of this accident and it was so horrific to see the bodies covered. On new year's eve nogal. May their souls RIP! Taxis are just mobile coffins :(
The holiday seasone is gone. What are the cops busy with?
May be they are protecting their investments in the taxi's

Real love dolls are likewise extremely crucial for embracing and snuggling. Analysts have said that any physical contact, whether tapping or embracing a man, can make individuals feel more secure, particularly those that are discouraged or aggravated. Anybody feeling low can be given a high five with their genuine accomplice. Just to get an extra sentiment security, individuals put resources into silicone dolls to embrace and nestle them. It has worked for some individuals who were discouraged some time recently.

Jane RussellWednesday, November 29th, 2006
I wrote to Jane Russell on May 23, 1985 – mostly because I had purchased a photo of her through Carl Ahlm's photo catalog. I had purchased this particular photo because A) It was in color, and B) It showed two hot women, one of them being Marilyn Monroe. I had never seen a single movie with Jane Russell at that point, but knew who she was. A careful check of The Film Encyclopedia indicated some of the famous titles of films she was in: The Outlaw, The Paleface, and of course the film from which the photo below was taken: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Ms. Russell also was kind enough to send along the additional signed photo above – in addition to signing the one below. Read the rest of this entry »
