I have decided to make my own little list thing. I just feel like ranting, and this is a good way to do it.
10 Things I Adore
Rumi, Laurel, Tavi, Emma, Arabelle, and Camille
(you are all my absolute favorites and inspire me SO much. please continue this! <3)
10 Things I Adore
- My friends. Honestly, my life revolves around them and I would be an awful person without them.
- Satisfying a really strong craving, specifically something sweet!
- Shopping and creating ensembles.
- Knitting.
- Children. Being with little ones is something everyone should try to do often. Not only is it fun, but it puts things in perspective, is a de-stressor, and is very healthy.
- Traveling. I love the anticipation and excitement it supplies!
- Reading. Whether it's blogs, magazines, novels, self-help books, or memoirs, getting stuck in a book is so nice. The escape from reality is hard to replicate, and it creates a well-rounded person.
- Laughing.
- Shows, plays, musicals, whatever you'd like to call them. Again, an incredible escape from reality, and just so fun!
- The internet. Truly, where would I be without it?! Where would any of us be?! Such a stupendous tool that fascinates me in uncountable ways. The whole world is revolutionizing due to and with it. I just don't even know how to explain how amazing the internet is. Opportunities are growing and knowledge is rising right along with it. Crazy how anyone lived without it.
- Ignorant comments from people who really think they know what they are talking about.
- Disrespect.
- When people get a tag and do the survey and then say "I now tag...ANYONE!" The whole point of the tag is to spread it around the blogging world and to show appreciation, not laziness and lack of thought. Choosing several bloggers that truly deserve a tag is not entirely difficult, it can be done. Tagging ANYONE! may sound kind, but it really just isn't. This bothers me so much. So so much.
- When my cell phone dies when I need it. (This is my fault :/)
- When my camera batteries die right when I turn it on to take pictures. Stupid weak battery...
- Wasting time. I often willingly (well, sub-consciously willingly) waste my time, but I just can't stand when others waste my time. Yes, this is pretentious. I don't really care!
- People getting things they don't deserve.
- Common people who suddenly become extremely successful ignoring the general population and not helping people who beseech for advice. I have seen this, and it just breaks my heart. Reciprocation, people, reciprocation!
- Fish. I literally gag at the sight or taste of a piece of fish. But I love shellfish, mainly shrimp and crab.
- Stereotypes and prejudice.
- I know a lot of random facts! I always slip something completely random into almost every conversation I have.
- Most of the foods I'm obsessive over are major "health foods" and everyone makes fun of me for my cravings. Mmm... I'm wantin' some bok choy and hummus on everything pretzel crackers right about now...
- I really enjoy going to the dentist's office. It's fun!
- I went to summer camp for 12 years; 5 of them were just 8 week day camp summers, the other 7 were 8 week overnight camps. It was such a huge part of my life, until I realized how my "best friends" were actually just awful people and I needed to move on.
- I'm very judgmental and often get proven wrong about people after I learn more about them. I'm really trying to work on it!

Petties Name and Reputation Surface In Dotson Trial
Cecil Dotson was a Gangster Disciple trying to leave the street gang at a time when the Memphis part of the street gang was in turmoil.
That's the backdrop that the defense in the murder trial of Jesse Dotson will use as the case unfolds at the Criminal Justice Center with a jury from Nashville.
Defense attorney Marty McAfee laid out the scenario on the first day of the trial Tuesday in his opening statement. It guarantees the jury and the many Memphians watching the trial will be hearing a lot about gang life and gang rivalries, a possible connection Memphis police investigated and later dismissed according to prosecutors.
Dotson is being tried in Criminal Court for the worst mass murder in modern Memphis history. He is accused of killing six people, including his brother Cecil and trying to kill three children.
McAfee raised the name of Craig Petties, the alleged leader of the largest and most violent drug organization ever prosecuted in Memphis federal court.
McAfee talked in general terms about Petties, a figure he is familiar with.
McAfee is lead attorney for Martin Lewis, one of Petties' codefendants. Lewis is one of four codefendants facing murder for hire charges as well as racketeering and money laundering charges along with Petties. Federal prosecutors originally considered seeking the federal death penalty against Lewis and the three others but recently decided against it. Neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys for Petties have said what decision Justice Department officials in Washington made about seeking the death penalty for Petties.
The federal case against Petties is that he ran a multi state drug organization starting in 1995 that was rooted in his status as a Gangster Disciple and his direct ties to the Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico. When Petties was about to be indicted on federal drug charges in 2002, he fled to Mexico where he allegedly ran the drug operation in Memphis by cell phone for the next six years.
Petties was arrested in Mexico and brought back to the United States less than three months before the Lester Street murders.
"Somebody snitched and he (Petties) got arrested in Mexico and that happened very close to the time that these killings occurred," McAfee told the jury.
Weeks before the Lester Street killings, Eric Brown, described by McAfee as the Gangster Disciples overseer for Memphis, was shot to death by Vernon Motley, whom he identified as a member of the rival Traveling Vice Lords gang.
Motley's girlfriend was a first cousin of Cecil Dotson, according to McAfee. In the weeks after the February shooting of Brown, McAfee described a search by Gangster Disciples for the gun used to kill Brown. Police were also looking for Brown by early March as a suspect in the murder.
Motley was arrested and charged with Brown's murder in April, a month after the Lester Street murders. Prior to the charges, McAfee said Gangster Disciples were looking for the gun that had killed their leader, presumably to track down who was responsible.
"He's freaking out," McAfee said of Cecil Dotson. "He's hearing, 'What do you have to do with this gun? Why are people asking (him) about this?'"
Hours before he died, McAfee said the defense will show that Cecil Dotson tried to buy a gun from a gang associate and that the encounter ended in an argument.
It was unclear whether Cecil Dotson had a "falling out" with the gang member then or earlier. But McAfee said Dotson had called police at some point to the house.
"That's kind of frowned on in the Gangster Disciples,' he said.
More disturbing was an excerpt from a transcript of a March 6, 2008 hospital interview a trained forensic investigator from the Child Advocacy Center did with nine year old Cecil Dotson. He is the oldest survivor of the attack and prosecutors say he will testify that Jesse Dotson killed his father and five other people and tried to kill him.
Prosecutor Ray Lepone told the jury it took time to talk to the child about the attack because of his medical condition. He said the boy was at first spouting obscenities in a rambling monologue that may have been him reliving the attack.
But the passages read by McAfee paint a very different picture of the questioning.
In those passages, the boy appeared to have answered the questions about the attack, punctuated by continually calling his questioner "bitch."
In that version, McAfee said the boy claimed a woman known to the family knocked on the door of the house on Lester Street and got in the house followed by someone named "Roderick" or "Roger" who "got on down."

About 70% of breast cancer survivors reported in a recent study that they had difficulty having sex, according to an article published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The many physical and emotional changes that follow a cancer diagnosis can affect sex and intimacy. Two of the most common sexual concerns expressed by women after a cancer diagnosis are loss of libido and vaginal dryness.
Factors that may influence the likelihood of sexual problems among breast cancer survivors include body image (which may vary by type of surgery) and hormonal therapies such as aromatase inhibitors.
To better understand how a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment affects sexual function and body image, researchers evaluated 1,011 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of the study.
A majority (70%) of breast cancer survivors in this study experienced problems with sexual function. The researchers conclude that sexual dysfunction is more common among women taking aromatase inhibitors, as use of these drugs may cause menopausal symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, which may make intercourse painful and less pleasurable overall. Because problems such as vaginal dryness can be treated, women are advised to discuss concerns about sex and sexuality with their healthcare provider. Women may also find it helpful to talk openly with their partners about how their sexual needs have changed. It is also important to note that some women without a history of breast cancer complain of sexual dysfunction, so some of the symptoms reported may not be attributable to breast cancer and/or it's treatment.

Youngsters play near the house of a Christian girl who was arrested on charges of blasphemy in a low-income slum in Islamabad.
Amnesty International has urged Pakistan to reform its antiblasphemy laws and protect a young Christian girl arrested for allegedly burning pages with verses from the Koran.
Rimsha, who is between 10 and 13 years old and is reported to have Down syndrome, was taken into custody in a slum of Islamabad on August 16 after furious Muslims demanded she be punished.
Polly Truscott, Amnesty International's South Asia director, said the case showed the "erosion of the rule of law" in Pakistan and the dangers faced by those accused of blasphemy.
The Muslim-majority nation's strict antiblasphemy laws make defaming Islam or desecrating the Koran potentially punishable by death.
Religious intolerance in Pakistan is seen as increasing following last year assassinations of a leading politician and a Christian cabinet minister. Both opposed the anti-blasphemy law.

A few days ago, I finally followed through on what I have been meaning to do for a very long time….form an LLC to expand my business of websites/blogs. An LLC ensures that I will have limited liability as well as other tax benefits. For those interested in doing the same, business lawyers in San Diego and other large cities can help with setting you up as an LLC. I have called it ATA Consulting LLC. The reason I have given this name is because 'Consulting' is a very broad category and thats why I'm not limited to just websites and blogs.
Below is a 6 step process to building a successful business.
1. Start Smart
2. Plan Ahead
3. Set up Systems
4. Seek out Sales
5. Aim for Growth
6. Leverage Opportunities
1. Start Smart.
Identify a niche. Don't compete to be the lowest cost provider. Look for what makes your product or service unique and adds a special value for the client and charge for that value. Every business has many facets. Start with what you know and like; start a business that has meaning to you. Keep in mind that we don't know what the future holds, many of the jobs and businesses of tomorrow don't exist today. You can create your own success.
Now is the time to dream. To start smart, you should like the idea of the business. The way to earn a good income and build wealth is by serving clients well, making their life better in some way-it's more than filling a need in the marketplace. To succeed you want to test the idea to make sure your potential clients like the idea too. Test your ideas.
2. Plan Ahead.
People often ask me why bother with a business plan? Look at the lottery as an example. You may get lucky and get the winning ticket, but the odds are against you when you rely on random chance. I'm a risk taker…but not that much, minimize the risk of going into business and maximize your potential for success. Take the time to write a plan of how you get from point A to point B. A plan gives you a clear future focus and increases your chances of success.
The first rule of a start-up is put some of your own money in the business. As the owner you must be willing to capitalize the business. The second rule is put as little of your own money as possible in the business. Prepare your plan and look for funding for your business from multiple sources, which can include a credit card services for small businesses or business line of credit.
Don't go it alone. Plan ahead now to build your team. Your team may include a CPA and an attorney that you work with as needed. Add a mentor from your industry and get a SCORE mentor to help you plan for success. No one has all the answers. You get more ideas and information by building a success, support team that can help you plan ahead.
3. Set up Systems.
The most basic system every business should have is a good financial system. Ask yourself how am I going to generate enough income to support myself and my family. Begin here. Put together a personal budget, so you know what it costs you to live. Now, you can move on to the business budget and sales planning, so you can see how many sales you need to break even and make a profit. The start-up expense plan, operating budget and your accounting software are vital to your success.
4. Seek out Sales.
The daunting question is how do you go about seeking out your first sale. Recognize that since you don't have a big ad budget to be seen by everyone, you need to target a niche and get connected in your market community, be it local, regional or national. You need other people selling for you-not employees-goodwill referrals. Get out and talk to as many people as you can. Join organizations that would have clients for your product or service. Become a visible part of your market, and then ask for the sale. You begin the sales process with people that you know. Yes, it's okay to start with friends and family as your first customers, and then broaden from there.
5. Aim for Growth.
The basic tenant of creating a company is that you own the company. You are not just creating a job for yourself. It's less risk and less investment to get a job. Building a business is creating a company that is more than the job itself. Think about the future. How large do you want the company to be in terms of sales, net profit and employees? Your answer to each of these questions will influence how you grow. There are varying costs and profits associated with growth. It's important to make a deliberate choice early about how you want to grow your company.
6. Leverage Opportunities.
Good luck. Good fortune. Good timing. All play a part in business. As a business owner, be very clear about your core focus for the business and how it serves clients. Your core business is what pays the bills. Then, as an entrepreneur you are about opportunity. When you see a potential opportunity or stroke of luck measure it against your core business focus. Good fortune is great, when it matches your vision for the business. Always consider if a good opportunity is the right fit for your business. If something looks great, but it's not in sync with your long-term plan and budget, think carefully before committing your company's resources.

R&B singer Trey Songz says that there is no beef with R. Kelly, despite his track, "Death of Kells."
The song, which criticizes Kelly for his use of Auto-Tune, isn't that serious, according to Songz. "It wasn't a beef," revealed the singer, in an interview with MTV News. "It was me telling R. Kelly to take the damn Auto-Tune off his voice, which he did on his album. His album is good."
Songz also spoke about his next project, which he hopes to release soon. "I'm trying to make sure I have an album out ASAP," he said. "I ain't gonna tell you how soon, though. It's not gonna be two years. I wanna use the same recipe I've been using. If anybody is added, it'll be for real purpose. I spoke to Pharrell. I told him I'm getting in, Timbaland as well — both huge Virginian-grown producers. I definitely would love to work with them. But Troy Taylor I've been working with since the beginning of my career. Plus Bryan-Michael Cox I've had a couple hits with. I definitely wanna make sure we use the same chemistry."
Songz most recent release was 2009's Ready, which has been nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for "Best Contemporary R&B Album."

Beautiful Inside and Out with Neutrogena
I am lucky enough to be invited to several events via GUB. I decided to attend Neutrogena's Beautiful Inside and Out event in NYC recently to explore the new me.
Many of my friends know me as the makeup collector. I love all things girly now as an adult which is very different from my pre-married life.
The event was awesome. Not only did I learn a little more about the brand but I got a little pampering and some 101 time with Brand Ambassador Sandra Echeverria and Elizabeth Ulloa, Neutrogena's first Hispanic Makeup Artist!
Sandra's biggest tip is to have a routine! I think I've failed miserably at keeping a routine and using products that are right for my face.
Elizabeth shared some of her favorite products as she helped me find some for my self!
I love the variety Neutrogena offers and the research they've committed in finding the perfect combinations for women of color needs.
1- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen- If I forget to moisturize I at least know this sunscreen can keep me protected!
2-Neutrogena Shine Control powder- Love this stuff. If you feel greasy or shiny pat some of this rice powder on and presto back to looking fresh!
3-Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara- My go to now! I love that it doesn't clump and I saw the long naturally looking lashes instantly!
4-Neutrogena Moisture Smooth Color Sticks- Rich Raisin is my go to! It's lightly tinted but color is buildable. Leaves my lips nice and soft and super moisturizing!
5-Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes These are my favorite. My eyes don't get irritated and they break down waterproof mascara! I take these when I travel. **Quick tip via Elizabeth Ulloa- Use these for a quick clean to your brushes. **
Thanks Neutrogena for a great time I learned a lot and am having fun with all the goodies!
Disclosure: I was invited to attend this event. I was not compensated. All opinions are my own! I did receive a goody bag of products to take home to try.

Ending days of speculation, Jobster chief executive Jason Goldberg announced the job cuts and portrayed them as part of a push to become profitable. The company aims to generate positive cash flow this year, partly by shifting away from in-person sales and support. The Seattle-based firm will rely on phone sales and support as well as its Web site, and focus its energies on developing new technology, Goldberg said.
"Jobster's customers consistently report that they derive the most value when our technology helps them match with hard-to-find candidates," Goldberg wrote in a blog posting Wednesday. "Accordingly, we are choosing to further focus our resources in 2007 on building innovative technology that helps our customers better locate those hard- to-find-candidates while creating a unique online environment for job seekers."
Jobster has earned praise for its service, which combines elements of social networking with job posting capability. Among the products Jobster offers is software that makes it easy for a firm to ask its employees for the names of the top colleagues they've worked with in the past, as well as technology for asking those referrals if they'd like to learn more about the company. Jobster software also is designed to help companies distribute job ads via e-mail—messages that can be forwarded easily to others and tracked by the employer.
Companies have been buying up recruiting software products as part of a greater focus on talent management. Using social networking technology for recruiting remains experimental but is seen as promising.
Goldberg said that his three-year-old company, which has raised $48 million in funding from investors, is not low on cash. Nor is it struggling to snag customers, he said. Although Goldberg conceded adoption by large organizations was slower than anticipated last year, Jobster signed up more than 500 customers for paid recruiting services in 2006. The company's revenue grew by 482 percent last year.
The bulk of the employees affected by the layoff are involved in in-person sales and support efforts, Goldberg said. Four executives also were laid off, including Brad Kendall, senior vice president of sales.

The steam from sweet Somali tea floats out of white plastic-foam cups as a handful of people weave in between desks tentatively greeting each other: "Barasho wanaagsan" (good to meet you).
This cheery Tukwila classroom, on loan from Foster High School, is hosting a series of weekly Somali-language classes through December.
It's the second such course offered by the nonprofit Somali Community Services Coalition and it's a rare opportunity for those who work and live with our region's sizable Somali community.
"There's no Somali-language classes available elsewhere," says Nick Valera of the coalition, "I think there's one that started in Minnesota recently … other than that there's nothing that we're aware of."

Tonight's students are paying $150 and spending one evening a week here for the next three months for a number of different reasons.
Many are teachers and tutors who work with Somali English-language learners. Some live in areas that have large Somali populations and want to be able to communicate with their neighbors. Others are here because they need a basic knowledge of Somali to effectively do their jobs.
Rachel Eagan, an AmeriCorps VISTA employee who came from Buffalo, New York, to the Northwest, "because it has a bigger global community" works with the East African population in South Seattle. She says basic Somali language skills will help her with her after-school programming.
"Now when the kids try and teach me words I'll know they're not swear words," she jokes.
But the communication barrier can also be serious.
Beth Paquette is the school-district nurse in Tukwila. Often named as one of the most diverse in the nation, the Tukwila district serves many of the thousands of Somali students in Washington state who qualify for English language learner services.
"I wanted to be able to talk to my students who are new to the country, when they struggle the most," says Paquette. "The students would come to me and say, 'I'm sick,' because that's the only word they know, and then it's really difficult to try and figure out what's bothering them."
Paquette is serious about the Somali language. She took the first course (offered last spring) and is back to learn more. But she admits it's a challenge, especially pronunciation.
"Somalis sometimes say [Americans] speak from our noses," says Doug Person, the course instructor, who learned the Somali language (and how to make the Somali tea he shares with students) while living and working in Somali refugee camps for many years.
"Most Somali sounds come from down here," Person explains running his fingers up and down his bearded throat.
Somali pronunciation is so complex that Person has brought in Abdi Mohamed Ali, who arrived in Seattle from Somalia in 2009, as an assistant who guides the class through exercises that help students practice new sounds.
I have to admit, the first time I saw written Somali (which, like English, uses the Latin alphabet) it looked a little like what happens when your cat walks across your keyboard. But to hear it spoken by Ali is to listen to a throaty and lyrical language that I can't help but want to try and speak myself.
When I asked Ali what the key was to truly mastering the language, he answered, "You need to speak to Somalis. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake … the more you communicate, the more you make it perfect."
In Ali's advice I also heard something else: a hope for more interaction between the Somali and the non-Somali population. That desire to build community is shared by the students — who on their break chatted about favorite Somali restaurants and swapped information about respectful forms of greetings.
"When [the kids'] parents come to pick them up, I'll just smile and say, 'wanaagsan,' and their faces just light up," says Paquette. "They know I'm trying."
If you're interested in trying, too, registration for fall is still open, and another course will be offered in January: www.somalicsc.org

By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE – They've practiced together from summer to about Christmas for each of the last four years, and several weeks more each spring. They've internalized their coach's ultra-competitive training and his meticulous, renowned "white-board" teachings.
They are a win Friday night away from Washington's first outright conference championship since 2005 – that wondrous season that ended with the Huskies' only national championship. And they are leading a stream rolling toward their goal of becoming Washington's second NCAA volleyball champion, next month at KeyArena across town from their campus.
But for all they have accomplished and have still to do, the Huskies' four seniors have a singular memory that defines their time at UW.
"Personally, it was a really special moment," Jenni Nogueras, a native of Puerto Rico who lost her father to pancreatic cancer two years ago, said following practice Tuesday evening.
The setter was standing outside the team locker room at Alaska Airlines Arena with senior classmates Jenna Orlandini, Kylin Muñoz and Gabbi Parker.
"My redshirt sophomore year I was struggling a lot with my father's disease. And everybody got together and planned to take me to a Puerto Rican restaurant in Ballard (La Isla)," Nogueras said, still smiling at the generosity. "I had no idea about it. I got there and the whole team was sitting at a table, ready to support me.
"Surprise! Surprise!" Orlandini said, re-enacting the moment.
"I was like, 'This team's got my back,'" Nogueras said. "It was awesome. It was just … amazing."
The unyielding bond Nogueras, Orlandini, Muñoz and Parker have formed leads the fifth-ranked Huskies (25-2, 17-2 Pac-12 following Wednesday night's home win over OregonState) into Friday's regular-season finale at home against WashingtonState at 8 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks television.
A Huskies' victory would give them their third conference title ever. The others came in that 2005 national-title season and 2004, the first Final Four trip. An 18th league win would be a school record.
Then Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU the Huskies will learn if they are a top-seed host for the first and second round of next month's NCAA tournament. That would set them up well for the regionals and a chance to reach the national semifinals and finals being played in their backyard Dec. 19-21.
Sure, junior hitter Krista Vansant has the All-American accolades and junior Kaleigh Nelson has enjoyed a breakout season on the right. But it's been these seniors who have supplied the intangibles that good teams must have to become champions.
"I think that's what sets this team apart from any other team in my three seasons is how tight we are," said Muñoz, the outside hitter from nearby Monroe, Wash., who received an extra year of athletic eligibility this season.
Muñoz had initially lost a year by signing her letter of intent with Brigham Young then changing her mind and staying home with UW.
"On a team, you don't have to be best friends," she said. "But I'm just grateful that we have such great bonds and we are such great friends.
"Even when we don't have to be with each other off the court …"
"… It's like, 'Oh, what do you want to do today,'" Nogueras said, finishing Muñoz's sentence as great friends often do.
"For sure, there's not a whole lot of drama on this team right now," Orlandini continued. "I don't know if that's because we are winning, or that we are winning because we are friends."
"There's just like that level of trust, that no matter what is happening we've got each other's backs," said Orlandini, the team's 5-foot-6 libero, and third in school history in career digs. "We rely on each other. We pick each other up. We fall on each other. It's a pretty good deal."
These seniors have been to the "Elite Eight" round of regional finals, in November 2010 when Washington hosted, battled through Nebraska then lost the next night to California to fall just short of a fourth Final Four appearance since 2004. Last season Nebraska eliminated them from the NCAA tournament in the regional semifinals, two matches short of the Final Four.
Now, they are on the cusp on an outright conference championship – thanks in large part to what Parker pulled off last week in Berkeley.
The role-playing hitter from Eugene, Ore., has been getting maybe one swing per match during Pac-12 play as mainly a blocking sub. Down three match points at No. 23 California Parker entered for Cassie Strickland with the score 14-12. One Cal error later, Parker stuffed the Bears' best hitter to tie the set at 14. She then banged a shot off the block and down to earn UW its first match point. On a second match point, she unleashed a monster on her first serve about two months, and Vansant eventually fired the spike that ended UW's comeback victory.
"I was like, 'THAT just really happened!'" Parker said Tuesday.
"I'm always ready to go in. That's kind of my role right now. When I went in I was thinking, 'All right, just make the play.'
"Yeah, I've struggled with (the role)… But at the same time, it's not about me. It's about the team."
Parker has a 3.71 grade-point average and this week the Pac-12 made her a second-team all-academic selection. She is set to graduate in June with a degree in early childhood and family studies and wants to be an elementary-school teacher in Seattle.
Nogueras is an English major who is weeks away from graduating. She may go home to her mother, Emily "Stella" Seilhamer, who is at UW this week to see her play for the second time this season. Jenni could work in Puerto Rico after she explores potential options in professional volleyball beginning with the new year. She could play professionally in her home country, and "that's definitely an option" she said.
Orlandini is also graduating next month with a double major of sociology and communications. She wants to be a college athletic director someday, and has looked into UW's Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership graduate program.
"We'll see where life takes me," the native of La Cañada, Calif., says.
Muñoz has been in the Seattle area all her life, "so I am ready to leave," she says with a smile. She graduates next month with a communications degree with a minor in anthropology, with renowned UW Professor Holly Barker as a beloved mentor.
"I'd love to go into some service-oriented career, non-profits," Munoz said. "I like inter-cultural communications."
Her heart and mind are open to exploring cultures anywhere in the world.
To outsiders, their UW volleyball legacy is still to be written, in the coming weeks with the NCAA tournament that ends with the Final Four in their backyard. These seniors acknowledge that – to a degree. But they are too close personally to be defined wholly by this next month.
Instead, they will cherish the opportunity.
"Kylin and I were talking the other day that the best is yet to come," Orlandini said. "Yeah, the season is coming to an end but to us this is what we worked four years for. This is the moment that we have to take advantage of and cherish."
Parker added: "The word 'legacy' is such a loaded word. I don't think we put that much pressure on ourselves. It's just business.
"We understand it's a huge deal. But at the same time if you start putting that much emphasis on it you add forced urgency. That makes you uncomfortable and not conducive to winning."
And no, these closely bonded seniors, they don't do uncomfortable. And they have certainly proven conducive to winning.

New picture now hanging in Recorder's Office, Catherine Poff recognized for leadership during World War II
Written by Janna Ross
Wednesday, 04 November 2009 00:00
"I was just kinda reminiscing," stated Kathy Wesson as she demonstrated how she was peering into the Clark County Recorder's Office with her neck outstretched and eyes wide.
She recalled, "It was after four and the building was pretty much empty. I had just went downstairs from jury duty and was looking at the pictures. Then Dick Jones asked me if he cold help me."
That one question posed in June 2008 has now been answered.
Yes, Jones could help Wesson and she could help him.
Wesson proceeded to ask Jones if he knew that he was missing a picture of a Clark County Recorder.
"My mom's picture was not there," Wesson stated.
Wesson's mom, Catherine Poff, took over the responsibility of the Clark County Recorder after her husband, Julius, was drafted by the Navy in 1942 to defend our country during World War II. While Julius was protecting his country on the Battleship New Mexico, Catherine proceeded to tackle the job of Recorder and mother of five children ranging in age from 10 years to 15 months old.
The thought of taking over for her husband was natural. The entire family jumped in to help take care of the family's 26 acre farm in St. Joe with the help of Grandpa William Poff.

Governor Daniels announces termination of state's contract with IBM for delivery of welfare services
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:00
Governor Mitch Daniels announced recently the state has terminated its contract with IBM for the delivery of welfare services. The contract was canceled because the company did not make satisfactory progress to improve services to welfare applicants and recipients under a plan to correct deficiencies.
In its place, the Family and Social Services Administration will go to a hybrid system that will incorporate successful elements of the old welfare delivery system and what is known as the modernized system. The hybrid system will include more face?to?face contact and more localized team?based case management.
"The fraud appears to have been stopped and we're still on track to save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, but the intended service improvements have not been delivered, and that's not acceptable," said Daniels. "Those who raised concerns about service quality were correct and we appreciate their efforts. We'll now take the best parts of the old and new and move ahead with a hybrid system in what amounts to a major mid?course correction."

Lieberman, Democrats want ban on assault weapons
WASHINGTON Democratic lawmakers and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman said Sunday that military-style assault weapons should be banned and that a national commission should be established to examine mass shootings in the United States.
The proposals were among the first to come from Congress in the wake of Friday's school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
"Assault weapons were developed for the U.S. military, not commercial gun manufacturers," Lieberman said before a vigil Sunday night in Newtown.
"This is a moment to start a very serious national conversation about violence in our society, particularly about these acts of mass violence," said the Connecticut senator, who is retiring next month.
Gun rights activists remained largely quiet on the issue, all but one declining to appear on the Sunday talk shows. Meanwhile, Democrats vowed action and said it was time to hear from voters - not gun lobbyists - on how to prevent the next shooting.
The time for "saying that we can't talk about the policy implications of tragedies like this is over," said Rep. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who won a Senate seat in the November elections.
Speaking Sunday night at a vigil in Newtown, President Barack Obama did not specifically address gun control. But he vowed, "In the coming weeks I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens, from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."
He added: "Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"
Obama and Senate Democrats haven't pushed for new gun controls since rising to power in the 2008 national elections. Outspoken advocates for stricter laws, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, say that's because of the powerful sway of the National Rifle Association.
But advocates also say the latest shooting is a tipping point that could change the dynamic of the debate dramatically. Feinstein, D-Calif., said she will propose legislation next year that would ban big clips, drums and strips of more than 10 bullets.
"It can be done," she said Sunday of reviving the 10-year ban that expired in 2004.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Obama could use executive powers to enforce existing gun laws, as well as throw his weight behind legislation like Feinstein's.
"It's time for the president, I think, to stand up and lead and tell this country what we should do - not go to Congress and say, `What do you guys want to do?'" Bloomberg said.
Lieberman supports such a ban but said there should also be a national commission to scrutinize gun laws and loopholes, as well as the nation's mental health system and the role that violent video games and movies might play in shootings.
"There are a lot of serious questions here about what is the impact of violence in the entertainment culture on everybody," Lieberman said. "There is a vulnerable population out there and I'm afraid this young man was obviously one of them. How do we identify shooters before they shoot and make sure they get the mental health help that they need, and then what about gun control?"
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois said he would support such a panel, adding that it was time for a "national discussion" that included school safety.
"This conversation has been dominated in Washington by - you know and I know - gun lobbies that have an agenda" Durbin said. "We need people, just ordinary Americans, to come together, and speak out, and to sit down and calmly reflect on how far we go."

Apples with good keeping qualities, lasting in store into the new year, are particularly worth planting in gardens, and may be grown as large trees since a heavy crop does not need using all at once. Like all apples, trees are grafted on rootstocks which affect their size and vigour, and may be trained in a number of different shapes. Pruning depends on the tree form and vigour of the rootstock, and should be checked in a handbook. 'Fiesta' is a modern, regular-cropping variety with a refreshing Cox-like flavour. Blooms are early and partially self-fertile. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Sept. 5, 2009

Special to Calbears.com
BERKELEY - Make no mistake.
With two lengthy romps and a pair of touchdowns in his back pocket, Cal running back Jahvid Best did nothing but add legitimacy to the Heisman talk currently swirling about him Saturday night. But chances are members of the Maryland football team won't leave the Bay Area bemoaning his exploits alone. The Golden Bears defense made sure of that.
No. 12 Cal clamped down on the Terps from the outset and never released its bite, helping the Bears notch a one-sided 52-13 victory over Maryland in their season-opener at Memorial Stadium.
"As a defense, we strive to make sure that certain things happen," sophomore defensive end Ernest Owusu said. "We take pride in what we do. If someone runs over 100 yards, we feel like we failed regardless. Were very prideful, that's all I can say."
Such a performance has come to be expected. After all, the Bears (1-0) return eight starters from a team that was ranked 23rd in the nation in scoring defense (19.9 points per game) and 26th in total defense (315.2 yards per game). As night fell in Berkeley, it was clear this group is intent on living up to its own high standards.
Cal surrendered 303 yards just 146 in the first half, and didn't give up a touchdown until Maryland tailback DaRel Scott broke free on a 39-yard scamper with 7:29 remaining in the third quarter. But the damage was already done.
Unlike last season's pilgrimage to College Park, Md., when the Bears fell behind in a hurry, the defense remained in lockdown mode from the start. Cal kept the Terps (0-1) at bay, and the Kevin Riley-led offense responded in kind to build a 31-6 lead at the half.
Cameron Jordan recovered a fumble late in the second quarter, and that set the table for a 3-yard pass play from Riley to Skylar Curran to put the Bears up, 24-6.
How good was the Cal defense? Just ask Maryland quarterback Chris Turner. Indeed, he claimed Cal "has one of the best defensive fronts we'll see all year." When Turner wasn't being hurried or chased out of the pocket, he was receiving a close-up view of the turf. The Bears dropped Turner six times, with Owusu accounting for two of the sacks.
Scott may also be able to offer an assessment. Scott, a first-team All-ACC selection, managed a mere 18 yards rushing in the first half. As a team, Maryland was limited to 136 yards on the ground, compared to 244 by Cal.
"Any time as a defense, you've got to shut down the run like that, that allows us to (dictate) the game," said linebacker Mike Mohamed, who finished with nine tackles. "And then the offense started scoring points. It was fun. When we shut down the run, I didn't know if they had anything else. We were just doing our jobs."
Cal coach Jeff Tedford tipped his cap to his defensive unit but acknowledged there is work to be done. Still, for the first game out of the chute, he was pleased with the effort.
"We played really well," Tedford said. "I thought we pressured the quarterback pretty well a couple of times. The defense played well, but we gave up a couple long runs. That wasn't good enough. We have to go back and look at that, but I thought they played well."

May 28, 2016
DETROIT (AP) -- A Christian leader has resigned from a Detroit church after disclosing she married a woman.
The Detroit Free Press reports (http://on.freep.com/16ixW19 ) that Bishop Allyson Nelson Abrams stepped down Friday from Zion Progress Baptist Church. The church's first female pastor told congregants Oct. 6 that she married a pastor affiliated with a Washington, D.C., church.
They married in Iowa, where same-sex marriage is legal.
Abrams says she resigned because she "didn't want to split the church any further" on the issue. The 43-year-old was once married to a man.
She says she's considering joining two other denominations but declined to identify them.
The Birmingham, Ala., native was ordained in 2001.
Abrams married Diana Williams, a bishop emeritus with Washington's Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation. It has separated from the Catholic Church.

So, you were not impressed by iPhone 5S. Well, Apple Inc did not sit back to soak in the criticism, nor the adulation, and is all set to wow with its nextgen smartphone, the iPhone 6. iPhone lovers who always wished to have a much bigger screen might have their dreams come alive when Apple Inc launches its much-awaited iPhone 6 as forecast by Jefferies analyst Peter Misek. Of course, as with all things Apple Inc, you will need to pay the price.
Soon after the brief meet with the Apple Inc's Asian suppliers, Misek issued a note to investors on Monday saying the iPhone 6 would offer a 4.8-inch screen. This is obviously great news as currently iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C come with only 4 inch display screen.
Apple Inc. may unveil iPhone 6 at a top end price of Rs 60,335
Though the analyst did not disclose the reason behind his prediction, he mentioned in his note that iPhone 6's new screen size would carry a huge number of upgrades.
"We think the 85 mn iPhones eligible for an upgrade when the iPhone 6 launches (we think Apple is targeting Sep 2014) could be boosted by another 5-10 mn from people who skipped the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C cycle," Misek wrote.
On the downside, iPhone 5C sales have been weak, according to Misek. As such, manufacturing builds are being slashed to 15 million to 20 million from 30 million, he said.
On the plus size, that could lead to an even larger number of upgraders who gravitate toward the iPhone 6.
In the past, Apple Inc has lost significant market share to the Android phones having larger display size.
Last year, Apple raised the display size of iPhone 5 to 4 inches from the prior 3.5 inches, so time is right for another big move.

One way to prevent holiday stress is to prepare some of the food ahead of time and freeze it. From casseroles to cookies, you can prepare a large portion of your holiday food before the actual day arrives.
"However, some things freeze better than others," says Tammy Roberts, University of Missouri Extension nutrition specialist. "Things that may not have the quality you would be proud to serve include meringue, cream or custard pie fillings, mayonnaise, sour cream, and vegetables you would use for a salad such as lettuce, cucumbers, radishes and celery."
Uncooked potatoes and cooked pasta often don't freeze well on their own, but you can get great results with these foods in casseroles, Roberts said.
Roberts offered the following tips for quality home-frozen foods:
Foods that will be reheated before serving should be slightly undercooked before freezing. This helps ensure the end product won't be overcooked.
Cool foods quickly before freezing. You can do this in the refrigerator or by setting the prepared casserole in a pan of ice water. Use caution: A hot glass baking dish can crack or break when placed in ice water.
Be sure to wrap your food well. Air shortens shelf life and can affect color, flavor and texture.
Cheese or crumb toppings on casseroles can become soggy or dry in the freezing process. Add these when the dish is being reheated to serve.
It is hard to find information about how long it takes to reheat a frozen dish such as a casserole. Roberts says to use the oven setting at which you originally cooked the dish and start with just less than twice the original cooking time. For example, if the original cooking time was 30 minutes, start with about 50 minutes from the frozen state, but be sure to check often at the end of that time. A good clue that a casserole is thoroughly reheated is that the edges are bubbling and the center is hot.
The MU Extension guide sheet "Quality for Keeps: Freezing Home-Prepared Foods" (GH1505) is available for download at www.extension.missouri.edu/GH1505 and from local MU Extension centers.

Former Madera Resident Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud in Connection with Fraudulent Sale of Websites
|U.S. Attorney's Office June 24, 2013
FRESNO, CA—Phillip Jacob Shinen, 33, formerly of Madera, pleaded guilty today before Senior District Judge Anthony W. Ishii to one count of wire fraud relating to the fraudulent sale of websites, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
According to court documents, between February 2007 and March 2008, Shinen advertised and sold various websites to the public. He guaranteed to purchasers that the websites would produce a certain threshold income and promised that he would train purchasers to use the websites. The websites, however, did not generate the level of income or Internet traffic claimed by Shinen. In order to make it difficult for the website purchasers to contact him, Shinen used a number of aliases.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Cyber Crimes Task Force, which is made up of law enforcement officers from the FBI, Fresno Police Department, and the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. Assistant United States Attorney Henry Z. Carbajal, III is prosecuting the case.
Shinen is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Ishii on November 18, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. The maximum statutory penalty for wire fraud is 20 years in prison. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.

Keeping it real
part 3
Forty blogs of Lent
Day 12
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV
Faith is not a theoretical or theological concept. It is real. Faith isn't just something we believe, it's something we do.
If you believe your car's brakes don't work do you get in the car and drive it? No. You get the brakes fixed. TheAnglican church's baptism rite has the parents and godparents making the response, when asked if they believe and trust in te Father, Son and Holy Spirit, "I believe and trust in him." The words and trust are there to convey in English what the writers meant when they wrote about believing when they wrote the books and letters that make up the New Testament. The idea of a faith that is not acted upon is not one found in the Bible.
James wrote,"Faith without works is dead." James 2:17. if we don't act on what we believe does out faith have any value?
Here's a longer quote for context.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled", without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[a] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
Martin Luther didn't like this, he called the letter of Jmes an "Epistle of straw." It didn't agree with the conclusions he had drawn from studying Paul's letter to the Romans and Luther's conclusion that salvation is by faith alone, not works.
To be fair to Luther, there was a lot wrong with the Catholic church at the time, much of his disagreement centred around the practice of selling indulgences, a practice that the Roman church soon dropped. But even St Paul wasn't totally against works. He wrote, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Whilst we cannot work our way into heaven, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have already paid the price to get us in, we still need to put the faith in Christ that saves us into practice – to work it out.
Like love and hope, faith is a doing word. Let's do faith.
