American reality star Kim Kardashian's beau, rapper Kanye West has reportedly banned Kardashian from major cosmetic procedures. According to a Radar Online report, this issue came up when Kardashian planned to have a tummy tuck right after the birth of their daughter North West in June.
"Kim was certain that she wanted to have surgery after giving birth because she wanted a head start on losing her baby weight. But when West got wind of her plans, he really flipped out," sources stated.
West lost his mother Donda West due to complications from a cosmetic procedure. She died in 2007 aged 58 following complications from liposuction and breast-reduction surgery.
"Kanye told Kim in no uncertain terms that she needed to put her baby and her life first. He got pretty emotional because he really didn't want her going through that kind of major surgery. He's still traumatised from his mum's death," the source added.
He apparently told Kardashian that the surgery ban is a condition of being with him.
"Kanye was devastated by her passing and it's made him extremely protective of those he loves. He really put his foot down," the source added.
"He's fine with her getting Botox and fillers, but anything that requires getting knocked out, like lipo, is a huge no no in his book. They'll find a compromise. Kanye tries to let Kim do as she pleases, but this issue is really important to him, and she understands," the source stated.
West has also stated that he will never marry Kardashian. "Kanye is telling friends that he'll never marry Kim. He has no need or desire to make their relationship official in the eyes of the law," a source close to West stated. He has apparently also informed her of the same.
"Kanye prefers the idea of them as 'partners'. He sees marriage as outdated and he's all about embracing the modern and the new. He doesn't feel like he has to marry Kim just because they have a [daughter, Nori] together," the source added.

John Tavares-After a quiet first 2 games, Tavares just exploded in the next two. Against Tampa Bay, it started with a fortunate bounce, and it ended with another goal and two more assists after one period. A couple days later against the hated Rangers...
Hopefully this is a sign of what things will be like the next few years on the Island. If he can continue at the pace he is at, then the sky is the limit for the former top draft pick.
Mark Streit-The captain is back. The Isles really missed their captain last year and his presence was felt quickly. In the game against Minnesota, Streit made a beautiful pass to set up a Frans Nielsen goal. He is the leader of the power-play and as you can see in the video above, he is responsible for most of the chances. He's completely healthy, and hopefully he will get back to the All-Star form he was at a few seasons ago. Welcome Back Mark Streit!
Jack Capuano's Gut- Apparently Jack Capuano knows something that we all don't. On opening night, he suprised everyone by naming Al Montoya starter. He stuck with the hot hand for the first 3 games, and Montoya allowed only 4 goals, winning 2 of his first 3 starts. Then, when everyone thought Montoya was going to get the start against his former club, his gut feeling changed. Was it what he ate for lunch, or was he on to something? Evgeni Nabokov, who hung up on Garth Snow, got the start and played like the Evgeni Nabokov from San Jose, stopping all but 2 Ranger shots and leading to an Islanders victory.
The Entire Third Line-On paper, the third line of Josh Bailey centering Brian Rolston and Blake Comeau looked pretty good. But except for a couple Brian Rolston power-play assists, this line has been very ineffective. In fact, Comeau has been a healthy scratch the last two games to give Trevor Gillies time in the lineup. With goal scorer Comeau, veteran leader Rolston, and Bailey in the middle, this line better figure something out otherwise head coach Jack Capuano might need to jumble up some lines.
Rick DiPietro-I really hate to be mean like this, but I am really starting to become less of a Rick DiPietro fan. From a side note, the most productive thing Brian Rolston has done so far this season has hit DP in the mask with a shot during practice. This gave DP a concussion, and he has yet to play this season. Hopefully, his case can be like Sidney Crosby's, with many setbacks and problems. With Nabokov and Montoya healthy, why even waste time on DP?
Only 5 games into the season, it isn't a lost cause yet, and there is still hope. Things are starting to get back to normal, especially since DP is injured again. My guess, Evegeni Nabokov starts tomorrow in Florida. But, with Jack Capuano's changing gut, you never know. Let's see how this goes.
Lets Go Islanders!!!

LAS VEGAS – Step right up and be amazed!

"Like other natural resources on Earth, water is such a precious commodity that needs to be preserved and protected if we wish to stand the test of time," said Krista Monson, creator of the first One Night for One Drop in 2013 who will return to direct the overall process including overseeing the creative team as Director of Creation this year. "As performers, Nicky and Laetitia have a deeper understanding and appreciation for circus life including the time and talent that goes into putting on a show. With time running out, we will use those same efforts to deliver a performance that's both gritty and bold, daring guests to a to to act now."

Hawaii Commandery, Military Order of Foreign Wars Hawaii Commandery, Military Order of Foreign Wars
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
The Hawaii Commandery is organized as a Veterans Association operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in service to the Active-Duty, Retired, Veterans, and Cadet/Midshipman military communities, and to the Civic Community of the State of Hawaii. The Seven Purposes of the Military Order of Foreign Wars are: Honor and perpetuate the names of brave and loyal men and women. Keep in mind the memory of their martial deeds and the victories which they helped gain. Foster the cultivation of military and naval science. Bear true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon a paramount respect for, and fidelity to, the National Constitution and laws. Foster and encourage the study of American history and particularly of American military history, to the end that the memory of brave men and women may freely be enshrined and that we and our children may learn from the past to formulate sound policies for the present and future.
1. Honoring Veterans. The Commandery honors those who have served our Country in the uniform of the military services. This is primarily accomplished by supporting Memorial Day and Veterans Day observances at the National Cemetery of the Pacific and the Hawaii State Veterans' Cemetery (HSVC). The Commandery is now focused on the Vietnam Veterans with the commencement of the 50 th Commemoration of that War. The Commandery was designated by the DoD 50th Commemoration of the Vietnam War Committee as a Commemorative Partner organization and was the first Veterans Organization in Hawaii to receive this designation.
2. Supporting ROTC/JROTC/CAP Cadet programs. The Commandery supports and encourages the future leaders of our nation who are now developing their leadership skills in the Cadet programs of ROTC, JROTC, and the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). The Commandery awards medals, ribbons, and certificates in recognition of superior academic performance and demonstrated leadership potential.3. Support to Active and Reserve Component Military. The Commandery looks for ways to support the AC/RC military within current capabilities and resources.

Simple Math
We had our neighbor watch our sheepdog for a few days while we were on vacation. When we returned home I thought it would be lovely to bring over some Hawiian chocolates and some home made dog cookies from my oven. Wouldn't it be a fine gesture to bring my lovable dog with me to say Thank You? Yes it would. Now The Mighty Casey requires a special leash so she can't pull your arm off. But surely she can behave on a regular leash for one whole block right? Wrong.
I put on my cutest clogs to bring my thank you treats and off we went. Casey started to pull a little but I just made her sit and wait every time she tried. Because I'm a good dog owner that's why.....sooooo Casey sat nicely on the front step as I rang the bell.
As the nice gentleman opened the door Casey sprinted into their house flying me and my cute clogs behind her. I heard this very strange noise and I realized it was me screaming and clogging the hardwood floors running a hundred miles an hour behind her. Next time I will consider letting go of the leash. So there I was all sweaty and red faced and discombobulated right in the middle of their nice and quiet home. I'm pretty sure we are going to have to find new dog sitters.
The End

Ah yes! I know this scenario well! We too have a pooch that 'shows us up' on a regular basis. I always seem to be red faced and apologetic!ReplyDelete
Very good description... I can totally see that reel by reel. :) At least it was a bit better than the alternative I had deduced by the picture. I thought Casey had ate the Hawaiian chocolate and your clogs... resulting into a stinky explosion. I think your version is much better! lolReplyDelete

Google fan: Monster of Mountain View is on the decline
Writing for TechCrunch, Jon Evans opines that Google has lost its way, and is headed for a downfall:
A spectre is haunting Mountain View. No, not bed bugs: bit rot. Google is in serious decline.
I don't see how they can deny it. They have famously always been a data-driven organization, and the data is compelling. Business Insider's list of the 15 biggest tech flops of 2010 cited no fewer than four from Google: Buzz, Wave, Google TV, and the Nexus One. Bizarre errors have erupted in Google Maps. Many of its best engineers are leaving. Influential luminaries like Vivek Wadhwa, Jeff Atwood, Marco Arment and Paul Kedrosky (way ahead of the curve) say their core search service is much degraded from its glory years, and the numbers bear this out; after years of unassailable dominance, Google's search-market share is diminishing—it dropped an eyebrow-raising 1.2% just from October to November—while Microsoft's Bing, whose UI Google tried and embarrassingly failed to copy earlier this year, is on the rise.
It's a stretch to say Google is in decline. They're still a big, very powerful company with the ability to keep close tabs on zillions of people.
They've had setbacks, yes, but those setbacks are by no means fatal.
Google is well-entrenched in many ways. For instance, the number of websites that have Google scripts embedded in them (Analytics, Adsense, APIs, recaptcha, YouTube) is astronomical. And the number of people Google can track using the spyware baked into Android is also huge.
Google won't implode overnight. But hopefully, their setbacks will continue mounting, and their dominance will fade as people start to realize the extent of their assault on user privacy.

Perfect for fans of Cleopatra's Moon and the adult bestseller The Red Tent, this is the final book in the epic trilogy that began with Forbidden and Banished. Jayden and Kadesh's love will be put to the ultimate test as they fight a war to save their kingdom.
After tragedy strikes on the day they were to wed, Jayden must support Kadesh as he ascends the throne and becomes king of Sariba. But with the dark priestess Aliyah conspiring to control the crown, and the arrival of Horeb, Jayden's former betrothed, Kadesh's kingdom, as well as his status as king, is at stake.
Jayden knows that the time to be merciful has come and gone, and that some enemies can only be halted by death. Now she and Kadesh must prepare to fight not only for their love, but also for their kingdom.
This was an amazingly addictive book in a wonderful series.I really couldn't put it down. It was a nice long book to boot. I really enjoy books that have substance and length to it. It really pulls you in the more the author writes in it. Just when I thought it was the end of this novel, there was more to it. I just adored it.
I adored the characters. Kadesh and Jayden are so absolutely amazing. The strong side of Jayden that stands her ground is wonderful. Even when Kadesh orders her to not to something he eventually bends to her will. She is a strong powerful woman that will do anything to save her family and her king.
Kadesh oh boy what he has been through and goes through in this book is just amazing. Hes strong and powerful but at the same time unsure if hes doing what is right for everyone. Personally when it came time to do what his cousin suggested and kill Aliyah I though he should have done it emediately. But his soft sensitive heart couldnt do it and I loved it.
And Asher oh poor Asher. I was so sad and upset when he sacrificed himself. I just adored him even if he was in love with Jayden which went against his morals. I was like nooo hes got to find a new woman.
This authors writing style is amazing. I just love how she writes strong powerful women into a time where the men were somewhat against women speaking out against anything.
5 flaming stars!!!!
When I was a kid I read a book a day, scribbled stories, and dreamed about having my very own book on the library shelf. I grew up in San Francisco, but now live in an adobe house on the banks of the Rio Grande with my big, messy family. I think I've drunk so much Land of Enchantment water that some of that ancient magic got into my blood and now spurts out my pencil--I mean ergonomic keyboard. I adore anything old and musty with a secret story to tell.

Three Arrested in Murder-for-Hire Investigation
2013-11-19 · By Editor
Monday, November 18, 2013, Long Beach Police announced the arrest of three suspects in a pre-meditated murder plot, which left the victim near death, and detectives are asking for anyone who saw the suspects in the area to come forward.
On October 11, 2013, at approximately 9:20 p.m., Long Beach Police responded to a report of a person screaming in the area of 69th place and Ocean Boulevard. When officers arrived, they found a 62-year-old woman in her home that had been severely beaten. She was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, and the initial prognosis was that she may not survive.
Homicide detectives responded to the scene due to the severity of the victim's injuries and her condition, and began working the investigation. Initially, it appeared the incident may have been a home invasion robbery, therefore robbery detectives were called in to continue the investigation. Robbery detectives took the lead in the case, while continuing to work closely with homicide detectives. Together, they discovered disturbing evidence that this was not a home invasion robbery as originally suspected, but a murder for hire plot, with the victim specifically targeted. Equally disturbing was the fact that the suspects who planned the murder were family members.
Through the course of the investigation, detectives learned that the victim's daughter, identified as 40-year-old Holly Ramos, had been arrested in Monterey County, California on child endangerment and narcotics related charges. As a result, Holly's two children, ages 2 and 4, were taken from her and her husband, 40-year-old Frank Haverly, also from Monterey County, and placed into foster care. At that time, the victim began the process with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to become a foster parent to her grandchildren.
It is believed that both Holly and Frank planned out the crime, and enlisted the services of 50-year-old Keith Phillips, also from Monterey County, to travel to Long Beach to carry out the plot of killing the victim. Suspect Phillips drove to Long Beach on October 11, 2013, and contacted the victim at her home while impersonating a DCFS employee from Monterey County. The victim, believing him to be a legitimate DCFS employee, allowed him access into her home and spent a considerable amount of time with him discussing the foster care placement process. While in the home, the suspect violently and viciously attacked the victim with a blunt metal object shaped like a bat, and also attempted to suffocate her, causing her life-threatening injuries. The suspect made it clear to the victim that he was there to kill her and she would not live through the attack. What the suspect did not anticipate was the victim's will to survive. Eventually, the suspect gave up his attack, left the home, and ultimately returned to the Monterey County area.
The victim immediately suspected her family as being involved in the attack and provided detectives with information that was crucial to the investigation. To ensure the individuals suspected of being involved did not learn they were under investigation, no information regarding the incident was released to the public.
Detectives submitted material that was collected for DNA analysis, which resulted in the identification of Keith Philips. Detectives used a variety of investigative resources and techniques to obtain the necessary evidence in this case. Over the last few weeks, detectives took several trips to Northern California and worked closely with the Monterey County Sheriff's Department and the Veteran's Administration Police in Menlo Park, where surveillance was conducted and additional evidence was gathered. As the investigation progressed, detectives obtained corroborating evidence that Holly and Frank were associates of Phillips, had been in contact with him prior to the crime, and together mapped out the plan.
Part of the very comprehensive investigation detectives put together included writing 18 search warrants, and working with other government agencies to obtain current information on the suspects. Because the suspects were living in an RV park in Northern California, detectives rented a motor home and conducted surveillance on the suspects in order to affect the arrest.
On Thursday, November 14th, all three suspects were taken into custody without incident and booked for the attempted murder of our victim. Holly and Frank were arrested at an RV park in Monterey County. Frank was also on probation for a narcotics related charge. Keith Phillips was arrested at a VA hospital in Menlo Park. The suspects were held at the Long Beach City Jail on 25 million dollars bail each pending their arraignment.
This morning, detectives presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, along with evidence illustrating how all three suspects conspired to commit this horrific crime. Their arraignment was scheduled for this afternoon at 1:30 p.m., at Long Beach Superior Court. They were then transferred to the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. For further information on charges filed against the defendants, please contact the LA County DA's office. A possible motive for the attack is that it may have occurred to prevent the victim from seeking custody of the children, but it remains under investigation"
The victim's resilience clearly enabled her to fight back and survive this brutal attack. She remained hospitalized for several weeks recovering from extensive injuries. Although she has been discharged from the hospital, she has undergone two surgeries, has additional surgeries scheduled, and is still in a facility receiving full-time care due to her injuries. This has been a tragic ordeal for the victim, and she does not wish to speak to the media at this time. The children remain in foster care at an undisclosed location.
Detectives are seeking the public's help and asking anyone who may have seen Holly Ramos and/or Frank Haverly with Keith Phillips, in or around the Long Beach or Monterey County area, on October 11th or 12th to please contact Long Beach Police Robbery Detectives Fermin Gonzalez and Donald Collier at (562) 570-7464. Anonymous tips may be submitted by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), texting TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or visiting www.lacrimestoppers.org.
This has been an extensive and exhaustive investigation requiring a significant amount of resources, which could not have accomplished without the assistance of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Monterey County Sheriff's Department, the Monterey County Department of Children and Family Services, the Monterey County Probation Department, and the United States Department of Veteran Affairs Police.
Lastly, we would like to extend our gratitude to the community members who initially alerted police to this crime, and to those who located suspicious items in their neighborhood that would later be connected to this case. Those items ultimately turned out to be evidence determined crucial to this investigation. Long Beach Police continues to encourage the community to be aware of what is taking place in your neighborhoods and to report suspicious activity immediately by calling 9-1-1 – "see something … say something!"

After the information is gathered and
all relevant testing completed, the Rater inputs the information
into the Home Energy Rating System approved rating software
program. The program then calculates the home's energy usage
information. If the owner has the actual energy usage history
for the house (copies of electric, gas, and/or other utility
bills for one or more years), the real usage and costs can
be compared to the results of the software for accuracy.
It is important to note that the results of the Home Energy
Rating will vary from actual use due to variations in energy
usage by occupants.
The homeowner will receive a detailed
report which will help to show the home owner where they will
benefit the most from energy efficiency improvements. The
rating consists of a star
and a
numeric rating. The numeric rating is associated with a
percentage of the energy the home would use compared to a
home built to minimum energy code standards. The more efficient
the home, the lower the number (percentage) and the more stars
of the rating score. The following chart provides general
information regarding the overall efficiency and the numeric
and star rating scales.
The report will pinpoint specific areas
of your home which are wasting energy and money. By comparing
improvement costs to possible benefits, a home owner can
determine which improvements will be the most cost effective.
Most raters will be able to help in this decision making
process, and may provide a report outlining which improvements
they expect will result in the most savings for the least
How Should I Prepare My Home for the Rating?
The Rater will have all of the necessary
paperwork and tools required to complete the rating. You
should make sure that the Rater has clear access to the
basement, attic, crawlspace and all energy using equipment.
If there is a fireplace or wood burning stove, the ashes
should be removed to avoid the possibility of blowing onto
the floor, once again, you will notice very little air movement
in the home due to the effects of the blower door, usually
no more than a slight draft in areas of high leakage. The
rater will need to close all exterior windows and doors,
and open all interior doors to perform the blower door
*Note that for ENERGY STAR® ratings, a separate thermal
bypass check list must be completed on new homes. This
will require an inspection of the insulation prior to the
application of the interior wall finish.
If available, you should also have the actual energy usage
history for the house including the real usage and costs.
This would consist of copies of utility bills for a typical
year or up to three years if available. This is not a
necessary part of the rating, but does help with evaluating
possible improvements. You should also talk to your rater
about any specific areas of the home you are concerned about,
or possibly prepare a list of energy items that most interest

NO I SAY - NO. No more of the same. We will be different. We will think differently.
So although we will cover the usual stuff, set some school goals together, and talk about a bit of planning and chat happily over coffee. We will be different.
We have a cool team building activity sussed out- It will be offsite - It will involve a bit of music, food, laughter, teamwork, water, satisfaction, and an easily do-able activity, for all who want to give it a go.
You just gotta get offsite together. It just doesn't happen enough as a staff.
Just for 30 seconds today, I thought "I'm a bit excited about the start of next year". Then I stopped and listened to my senses which were saying "go home you dickhead, your whanau are ready to take a break from all this school crap". I went home, so should you. Switch off your macs, my blog over the next month is gonna be about fishing, golf, harness racing and random stuff.
Its gonna be fun.

From cultofmac.com: Sonte's new film can switch up its opacity in just a second, and it can be controlled from your iPhone. Cover a window and flip it from transparent to opaque at the tap of a screen, blocking out nosy passersby or ugly distractions whilst still letting in most of the light. It's like turning any room into a bathroom. Only without the extra plumbing required.
Launching Monday via Kickstarter, the Sonte film will start at $60 (although Sonte's PR folks didn't say how big the $60 sheet will be). you have to connect it to power, and wen installed the sheets are daisy-chained together using a small clip that connects them.

This is still a question for me. About 20 years ago, I was collecting this bottle with a nice design, probably "art nouveau" for the paintings of the birds but not for the rest of the body which is much more classical. The cristal itself is very fine but the use of the bottle was first for me a mystery.
After some searches today, it seems to be connected to the perfume industry. Maybe from the Roure or Brocard perfume industry linked to the family. The usage of this bootle was probably to store some perfume extract after their creation, to be presented to the customers. Somewhere a precious and jewel box for the first days of a perfume...
A potential hypothesis for me... If you have some confirmations it would be interesting ?
Thanks for your feed-back.

Plenty of people have got their hands on the DualShock 4 already. The system will be officially released on November 15 but some Gamestop stores have been selling the controller and if you get lucky you can get your hands on it as well.
The DS4 works with the PS3 and PC, although, it has limited functionality which is understandable. We have compiled a list of PS3 games that work with the controller and that includes games like The Last of Us, Killzone 3 and more.
It's important to note that the PS button, wireless functionality, vibration and motion sensing on the DS4 do not work while connected to the PS3, and you can use a second DS3 controller to complement it.
Here's the list of games that work:

Hey everyone! You might think this post is about distinguishing real designer items from fake ones. Or what's the taste of authentic cuisines versus non-authentic ones. But no, let's save that for future topics. Today, we want to talk to you again! We want to hear from you!
So let's talk about building and breaking friendships. Yeah, we get that it may be a difficult topic to go through, but everyone has experienced ups and downs in their own circle of friends. We just want to tell you that it's always okay to give up and let go of some people. It's better to have a small circle of true friends than have a big group that you don't even know if they care or not, right?
So how do you really know who your real friends are? Here are some hints on how to tell who's real or fake.
Signs of a Real Friend
• They will tell you the truth because they care, even if it hurts. They won't just tell you good things that would make you feel good.
• You can sit in silence together and still feel comfortable.
• Whenever you see each other only for two or three times a year, it's like you have never been apart.
• They will support you through everything, even if they think otherwise.
• They will not gossip about you when you are not around.
•They will tell you straight what you need to hear even if it's bad when you need advice.
• They will listen and offer you a shoulder to cry on whenever you are in need.
• You can't imagine your life without them in it.
Signs of a Fake Friend
• It feels awkward to share a secret.
• You are only together whenever there are group hangouts but never on a one to one basis.
• They don't really know the real you. They only see a mask you put on when you're with the group
• You have never seen each other cry.
• You feel that it is necessary to fill in the conversation whenever there is an awkward silence.
• You would probably forget their existence when you don't see each other for quite sometime.
• You will feel that your relationship is all one sided because you are making all the effort.
• You will agree with them even though that is not what you feel just for the sake of not getting into an argument with them.

Feast of the Prophet Ezekiel
THERE IS among the passions an anger of the intellect, and this anger is in accordance with nature. Without anger a man cannot attain purity: he has to feel angry with all that is sown in him by the enemy. When Job felt this anger he reviled his enemies, calling them "dishonorable men of no repute, lacking everything good, whom I would not consider fit to live with the dogs that guard my flocks" (cf. Job 20.1, 4. LXX). He who wishes to acquire the anger that is in accordance with nature must uproot all self-will, until he establishes within himself the state natural to the intellect.
If you find yourself hating your fellow men and resist this hatred, and you see that it grows weak and withdraws, do not rejoice in your heart; for this withdrawal is a trick of the evil spirits. They are preparing a second attack worse than the first; they have left their troops behind the city and ordered them to remain there. If you go out to attack them, they will flee before you in weakness. But if your heart is then elated because you have driven them away, and you leave the city, some of them will attack you from the rear while the rest will stand their ground in front of you; and your wretched soul will be caught between them with no means of escape. The city is prayer. Resistance is rebuttal through Christ Jesus. The foundation is incensive power.
Let us stand firm in the fear of God, rigorously practicing the virtues and not giving our conscience cause to stumble. In the fear of God let us keep our attention fixed within ourselves, until our conscience achieves its freedom. Then there will be a union between it and us, and thereafter it will be our guardian, showing us each thing that we must uproot. But if we do not obey our conscience, it will abandon us and we shall fall into the hands of our enemies, who will never let us go. This is what our Lord taught us when He said: "Come to an agreement with your adversary quickly while you are with him in the road, lest he hand you over to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer and you are cast into prison' (Matt. 5.25). The conscience is called an "adversary" because it opposes us when we wish to carry out the desires of our flesh; and if we do not listen to our conscience, it delivers us into the hands of our enemies.
If God sees that the intellect has entirely submitted to Him and puts its hope in Him alone, He strengthens it, saying: "Have no fear Jacob my son, my little Israel" (Is. 41.14. LXX), and: "Have no fear: for I have delivered you, I have called you by My name; you are Mine. If you pass through water, I shall be with you, and the rivers will not drown you. If you go through fire, you will not be burnt, and the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, who saves you" (cf. Is. 43.1-3. LXX).
When the intellect hears these words of reassurance, it says boldly to its enemies: "Who would fight with me? Let him stand against me. And who would accuse me? Let him draw near to me. Behold, the Lord is my helper; who will harm me? Behold, all of you are like an old moth-eaten garment" (cf. Is. 50.8-9. LXX).
If your heart comes to feel a natural hatred for sin, it has defeated the causes of sin and freed itself from them. Keep hell's torments in mind; but know that your Helper is at hand. Do nothing that will grieve Him, but say to Him with tears: "Be merciful and deliver me, O Lord, for without Thy help I cannot escape from the hands of my enemies." Be attentive to your heart, and He will guard you from all evil.

Did you win our contest for the Project Connect event on Tuesday at the Coloft in Santa Monica? Because if you didn't, you really missed out on a great evening. It was a ton of networking and meeting new people. This was an unusual event because it highlighted a few things that you don't normally see at a networking event. Rather than focusing on who you had to meet the focus was on who you can introduce other people to. The event was organized by Stephanie, owner of Social Bling, and the main themes of the night were: listening, complimenting, and gratitude.
It was hosted at the coloft building in Santa Monica. The coloft is a space that allows entrepreneurs to come together and rent out workspace for the month – kind of like a much better Starbucks. I am rereading The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki and the energy from that book is surely true at the Coloft, which enables a free flowing work environment and collaboration between entrepreneurs. The main thesis of the book being that any given crowd is collectively smarter than any individual expert.
We all mingled for a little bit in the beginning and drank some Mary Jane relaxing soda, which contains kava – a plant which has marijuana-like effects on the mind and body. We should've known better because the label clearly says "Do not consume more than two a day." We failed to read the label and were giggling all night. Although Carina and I are often referred to as "Giggle Corner" even without this magical soda.
The evening was full of laughs and getting to know other entrepreneurs that do the same thing we UGs do. Being an entrepreneur is probably the scariest but most exhilarating thing one could ever do. It's truly an incredible roller-coaster. It's nice to be surrounded with people that have the same sentiment about our passion. Particularly because so many people really don't understand entrepreneurship. My mother, for example, really doesn't get it. The same was true of the mother of the Coloft's owner, Cameron. Cameron said that when he told his Persian mother that he was going to be an entrepreneur, she said, "Oh, what kind of doctor is that?" We chuckled because we know how hard it is to have a good support system as an entrepreneur. We were all looking at each other that night with the same hope and willingness to help each other in some way or another. We're a good, but quirky, race of people. Among some new friends in attendance were: Lizzy Shaw, Blair Goldberg, Alaia Williams, and Jenda.
Some of the other sponsors were: Social Couture (who's the woman who brings you parties in a box), the Writer's Boot Camp, and Bodega Wine Bar. There was a challenge at one point in the night to see what we could make happen using social media. Thankfully, a woman from Kind Plus bars was there and ran out to share some bars with us. It's a gluten-free bar and a company that takes social responsibility very seriously. In fact, Kind was named one of BusinessWeek's Most Promising Social Entrepreneurial Companies. Their new campaign is their 'Not so random acts' of kindness cards. Via the web you can track these acts with a uniquely branded card. Visit here for more details.
We are ladies with food always on the mind, we can't blame the Mary Jane soda for our munchies, but we felt the need to bring a snack for everyone in attendance. Where did we turn? Our favorite truck The Border Grill truck came to the rescue.
Since this was a social networking event, we pulled our social network together (i.e., Twitter) and asked for some help to feed these tired kava-drunken souls. Border Grill came through for us like a good friend and, since they were across the street, brought everyone little dulce de leche churro bites and whipped cream. They were life-giving to our pseudo stoned brains. Special thanks to the Border Grill truck, Nick, and Christina, the kindest Border Grill employees in the whole wide world. Who says you can't transcend the boundaries of Twitter and real life? It's been our experience that Twitter friends are often more reliable than real life friends. What made this instance special was that this time it was a company pulling through and not an individual person. Border Grill, like so few other businesses, do social networking right and realize that human connection is just as important!
The night ended with song and all was well-documented by an E! camera crew. The video should be out soon and will include an interview by all the sponsors and, of course, yours truly, the UGs. It will be hypertexted and will be streaming soon to a UG channel near you. Many thanks again to everyone who came and the two lucky ladies who won our contest, Veronica in LA, DoubleDEntendre, and Amanda – You ladies have become very near and dear to our hearts. Thank you for your support on this here blog and your unfailing friendship to the UGs, who may very well be crazy and passionate enough to turn the world upside down with their antics and love for all things food, fun, and friends. Remember folks: listen, compliment help each other out, and be grateful in real life and on the interwebs…If you don't we WILL come after you!

Have a day of poorly marked,
unrecognizable wholes you
cannot fathom.
Have a ferocious day, a bleak
unbearable day. Have a
riotously unproductive day;
a grim jaw-clenched, Clint Eastwood vengeful
law enforcement day.
Have a day of raging, hair-yanking
jealousy and meanness. Have a day
of almost grasping
how whole you are; a finely tuned,
empty day.
Have a nice day of walking and circling;
a day of stalking and hunting,
of planting strange seeds and wandering in the woods.
Have a day of endearing nonsense,
of hopelessly combing your hair,
a day of yielding, of swallowing
hard, breathing more deeply,
a day of fondness for beetles
and macabre spectacles, or irreverence
about anything you want, of just
sitting and wondering.
Have a day of wondering if it's
going to help, or if it just doesn't matter;
a day of dark winds
and torrents flowing though the valley,
of diving into cool water
and gasping for breath,
a day of sudden hunger for communion.
Have a day where the crusts you each
were given are lost and you stumble
with your fellows
searching endlessly together.

A Physics
When you get down to it, Earth
has our own great ranges
of feeling-Rocky, Smoky, Blue-
and a heart that can melt stones.
The still pools fill with sky,
as if aloof, and we have eyes
for all of this-and more, for Earth's
reminding moon. We too are ruled
by such attractions-spun and swaddled,
rocked and lent a light. We run
our clocks on wheels, our trains
on time. But all the while we want
to love each other endlessly-not only for
a hundred years, not only six feet up and down.
We want the suns and moons of silver
in ourselves, not only counted coins in a cup. The whole
idea of love was not to fall. And neither was
the whole idea of God. We put him well
above ourselves, because we meant,
in time, to measure up.

Former Federal Correctional Officer Pleads Guilty to Accepting Bribes for Smuggling Contraband
OCALA, FL—United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III announces that Robert Lawrence Brown (32, Clermont) has pleaded guilty to accepting a bribe as a public official. He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
According to the plea agreement, beginning in January 2015, Brown used his position as a Correctional Officer at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex to smuggle contraband to inmates in exchange for monetary payments. On June 18, 2015, federal agents monitored a meeting between Brown and a cooperating witness. During that meeting, Brown accepted $2,600 for items that he had already smuggled into the prison. When confronted by investigators, Brown admitted that he had illegally negotiated $7,100 in cash payments in return for smuggling cellphones, prescription pills, tobacco, and other items to federal inmates.
This case was investigated by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert E. Bodnar, Jr.
