A Traditional Louisiana Wedding for High School Sweethearts
Photographed by Robert Welch
Kelsey and Jordan LaCaze's love story is something right out of a movie. The two met in high school, shortly after Jordan had moved to Mandeville, Louisiana. And thus began a life long journey. "I never would have dreamed that at such an early age, I had already met the person I would be with for the rest of my life," said Kelsey. From graduations, to career beginnings, to the highs and lows of life, the two love birds were by each other's side as they transitioned from exuberant teens to young adulthood.
A proposal happened, in true New Orleans fashion, during Mardi Gras. Jordan got down on one knee as the Olympia Parade, one of Kelsey's favorites, rolled through the streets. Kelsey said, "Yes!" Not wasting any time, Jordan and Kelsey dashed away to downtown Covington to celebrate with family and friends. "Both of our families and all of our friends were there to surprise me and to celebrate with us. It was a day to remember," recalls Kelsey.
With an "only-in-New Orleans" proposal, the wedding was also planned to reflect the couple's love of the city. "I wanted a New Orleans-style wedding," said Kelsey, "with New Orleans food, charm pulls for the cake, and a second line."
The wedding was held at the beautiful and historic St. Patrick's Church on Camp Street. "We were surrounded by our closest family and friends. I walked down the aisle with my dad and saw my future husband for the first time. I'm a 'Daddy's Girl,' so it was all extremely special for me," said Kelsey.
The reception was held at the beautiful Arbor Room at Popp Fountain, City Park. "My favorite thing about the Arbor Room was the scenery with the wall of windows, the enormous oak trees, and view of Popp Fountain," said Kelsey.
Guests dined on a scrumptious meal of crab cakes, shrimp and girts, crawfish pasta, and seafood-stuffed mushrooms. For dessert, there was a mouthwatering fleur-de-lis decorated cake. The groom's cake reflected the couple's love of sports. It was in a fleur-de-lis shape, sporting half LSU and half Saints colors. The night ended with merry guests putting the couple on chairs and lifting them up to celebrate the happy union.
The couple went to an all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carman, Mexico. "It was very enjoyable to just relax and spend time with each other," Kelsey recalls.
For future brides Kelsey advises planning everything early on and creating a timeline for the day of the wedding. She said it was stressful to make "but for the day of the wedding," it saved her! She explained that everyone knew where they had to be and when because they were able to ask questions ahead of time if need be. One other sage piece of advice Kelsey suggested is to keep a diary of your wedding. By documenting bridal showers, dress fittings, and everything along the way, "you will have a treasured keepsake to always remember the special time leading up to your wedding," says Kelsey.
When asked what is the best thing about being married, Kelsey says that "you get to come home from a long day at work and be with the person you want to be with…We help each other get through the bad days, which would be hard to get through by yourself. The best part is that we are making memories together that will last a lifetime."

Tuesday March 1, 2011
Let's open with the birthday girls, Joy in the foreground, Diane in the background:
…and a gratuitous picture of someone attending the party:
Okay, back to the beginning: The story began with an email message:
Subject: Live butterfly release
Hi Judi – Sharon at Maple Street [ Maple Street Natives ] gave me your email. Do you know where I can get live butterflies to release at an event (my Mom's 80th birthday)? She lives in {redacted} and has an extensive butterfly garden. The birthday gathering is Saturday Jan 22nd.
Thank you,
(We should note that the "Diane" who sent this message isn't the birthday-girl Diane in the first photo, but rather Joy's daughter and birthday-Diane's neice.) Judi answered:
I can think of two options: The first is to wait to see if I have any to give you for the event. I have a number of butterflies in chrysalis now, and while they don't often emerge during the winter, I might be able to hurry some along by warming them up. The downside is that I don't know how many I'll have….
The other option, if you want to be sure to have the number of
butterflies you want…, and if you are willing to pay, is to call or email [Edith Smith at] Shady Oak Butterfly Farm….
Diane went ahead and placed an order with Shady Oak for two dozen butterflies, but was disappointed that they didn't have any Monarchs, her mother's favorite species. They only had Buckeyes, Julias, and Painted Ladies (though these are all beautiful as well). However, Judi had some Monarchs just pupating, and we knew that Sandy at Sun Harbor Nursery had some more. Judi decided to see what she could do to supplement Diane's butterflies with some Monarchs.
Sandy at Sun Harbor was gracious (as always) enough to contribute her chrysalises to the cause (Sandy had directed another customer to Judi last year for butterflies to release at a funeral). Because of the cold weather, Butterfly House was enclosed, so Judi pinned the chrysalises to a sheet of styrofoam, suspended them in Butterfly House (where we could see them from the house through the window), and cranked up the space heater (as usual, with this or any other picture in this post, you can click for a larger version):
It was only a week until the big birthday, but by Wednesday the Monarchs began to pop! As each emerged, Judi moved it to a twelve-inch mesh cube and stowed it in the spare bathroom, which, with the lights off and the door closed, was dark and kept the butterflies inactive. Since male Monarchs sometimes fight one another, Judi made sure no cube contained more than one male. Just to make things interesting, most of the butterflies that emerged were male. As the week went by, the cubes piled up.
By the time Diane came by on Friday, Judi was able to give her mesh cubes containing eleven of her mother's favorite Monarchs (yay!), plus a Black Swallowtail and a couple of Sulfurs. A very nice turnout.
The big day came, and we were a little anxious about the temperature (you shouldn't release butterflies unless it's 60oF or higher, and after all this was January). We waited to hear how it went. Then we got this message:
Judi – This was so wonderful!!! You can only imagine what fun and amazement
there was this beautiful day. Mom just loved them all, especially the swallowtail! Later Saturday afternoon, due to the weather, I opened the shipped envelopes [from Shady Oak] into the nets [Judi's mesh cubes]. When they warmed up, all aflutter, we released them in the lee of the wind, into pots of dianthus, pansies, etc. Forty people all gathered around on the balcony for the chance to have one on their finger! Many of the slower ones stayed, so we released them back into Mom's yard yesterday morning. This morning, she is still amazed and thinks she saw the swallowtail on her parsley…. Thank you a million!!
Better yet, Diane sent pictures! You can see all of them in the "Butterfly Birthday Photos" Gallery:http://judisbutterflies.com/index.php?id=148, but here's a sampling (click for larger versions):

Intracity metro may face action
The city police may take action against the Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon Limited (RMGL) as the company has disrupted the existing route and is not providing the public with an alternate one.india Updated: Aug 22, 2011 00:05 IST
Hindustan Times
The city police may take action against the Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon Limited (RMGL) as the company has disrupted the existing route and is not providing the public with an alternate one.
According to the contract, RMGL is responsible for the maintenance of the alternate roads on the 6-km stretch, the police said. The police are receiving a lot of public complaints against the company and, hence, might have to take action against it.
Gurgaon police commissioner SS Deswal said the company could not disrupt the existing route until it provided the public with an alternate one. He added RMGL had not even installed sufficient streetlights and signages on the stretch. Moreover, long jams are witnessed from Sikanderpur Metro station to NH-8.
In a letter to the Haryana government, Deswal said the city police have demanded 1,100 more police personnel for manning the traffic junctions in Gurgaon. With this, the traffic manpower in the city will rise to 1,500.
Deswal said deploying volunteers to manage traffic hardly solves the problem as many people do not pay heed to their directions, as they are not authorised to issue challans.
He said the police would soon launch a campaign to test the skills of school bus drivers. They will have to undergo a test at an authorised Maruti driving school. Those who clear would be allowed to drive. Deswal added the police were preparing a data base of vehicles registered in Gurgaon, Faridabad and Delhi so that stolen vehicles could be recovered soon.
He said a total of 1,84,380 challans had been issued till July 31 this year, against 76,376 last year. Rs 3,25,25,500 has been collected as revenue this year, it was Rs 1,65,07,700 in 2010. This year, 563 accident have been reported compared to 594 in 2010.

Donald Sutherland has been cast as billionaire J. Paul Getty in Danny Boyle's upcoming FX limited series "Trust".
Getty, the oil tycoon and founder of the Getty family dynasty, was the architect of the great family fortune and of its personal misfortunes as well. A visionary who dreamed of a dynasty but was baffled by family.
The ten-episode first installment deals with the 1973 kidnapping of Getty's grandson, John Paul Getty III in Rome. The series charts the young man's nightmare ordeal at the hands of kidnappers who cannot understand why nobody seems to want their captive back.
Boyle is helming from a script by Simon Beaufoy ("Slumdog Millionaire"), and both will executive produce with Christian Colson.

Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey by Alexandra Bogdanovic
Cover Rating: ★★★☆☆
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
My Favourite Chapter: Chapter 10
Would I recommend? ★★★★☆
"That really sucks," I would inevitably say after listening to their tale of woe. "But I bet I've got a story that tops it."
Available for purchase from Amazon
Chastity Bono is now Chaz. Her decision to "become" a man made headlines around the world, but she is not alone. Transgender men and women frequently appear on television talk shows and reality programs to share their stories. By doing so, they inevitably get the attention they seek, but not necessarily the kind of attention they want. While some come forth in an effort to promote tolerance, acceptance and understanding in mainstream society, their decision to live as or in some cases have surgery to become – the opposite gender often sparks curiosity and more visceral reactions born out of ignorance. But this is the other side of the story. Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey is a tragedy, a comedy and a love story. It is my story. In vivid detail, I recall how I met, fell in love with and married the man of my dreams, only to find that he self-identified as and wanted to become a woman. Read what happened after I learned the truth. Originally from the New York City suburbs, Alexandra Bogdanovic is an award-winning reporter based in Connecticut. Her next book is based on her father's life as a staunch anti-Communist and political refugee in post-World War II Europe.
This book tells the story of Alexandra and her discovery of her husband's hidden secret. Written from a stance that I didn't quite expect, I fully appreciated the attention to detail and the need to bring the reader into the situation; achieved through the use of an almost informal tone, openness and the abundance of description.
With a clearly interesting life anyway, I took more away than 'just' having read a book about how a woman recovers after learning the truth about her husband. At times, I felt myself so captured and eager to turn the next page that it was as though I was reading a piece of fiction.
As I've said already, this wasn't what I was expecting from the book. If, like me, you appreciate an honest story where the small details truly matter, this is the book for you. If you're looking for something a bit more fast-paced, you're looking in the wrong place. Given how captivating the writing style is, the pace of the book really doesn't matter. In fact, it is quite jumpy in places; with vast detail given in some areas and very little in others, but as a non-fiction book this just reflects on the fact that is a true life story.
This was a book that I read from cover to cover; partially due to the length of it (160 pages) but also due to the ease of reading. The writing style, for me, was definitely the shining point of this book and made me want to carry on. If you enjoy non-fiction, I would highly recommend this book.
* Book was sent for free in exchange for an honest review.

I discovered that it did not work, as a general rule. Most people can't sell free food to starving people. But, the industry is kicking butt non-the-less. According to Forbes.com, "Americans spent $11 billion in 2008 on self-improvement books, CDs, seminars, coaching and stress-management programs."
So I had to ask him, where did he get his stuff? "To the source," he said. I get this stuff from the bible. If they had faith in God, and read the bible, they would not need me. But they never do. Instead of going to God for validation, they went to him. He told them where they should go, but they gave him money instead. Since he was a man of God, he gave is 10% to God, and moved on. God provided for him, because his listened. But not to us, because we needed hope from man, rather than God. At the time, I did not believe in God, so I just assumed he was a thief. I know better now.
Moving on to what gives us hope, though short term, I am about to write about the one thing that all the gurus tell us to do? Set goals. They all told this awesome story about a study done at some university that proved that people with goals did better than those without. Only problem was that there was no study. It was all made up. There is, however, a lot of work about why goals do not work. From surface work like an article in Psychology Today, to books about what the real leaders do, like Stop Setting Goals If You Would Rather Solve Problems by Bob Biehl. This book, Stop Setting Goals, cracked the nut for me, and finally explained by I got sick even thinking about goals, goal setting and what appeared like magic in the age of reason.
But what does this have to do with Martial Arts, you ask?
The teaching of Martial Arts has gone from "just teaching karate" all the way to an industry in the last 20 years by borrowing from other industries. We use mirrors because of dance, we gather clients like health clubs and we sell our programs just like I sold life insurance under the guidance of the self help industry. Only problem is, WE teach hope, yet we go outside our own skills to get hope from others. That has always bothered me. Then I read a paper on why goal setting does not work.
It suggested that as humans, we get lost in the process when we reduce our purpose to written goals. The goals soon replace the purpose, and before long, the only thing we even remember to follow is the written goal, with no memory of the intent or purpose that created the goal to begin with. In the bible, the people who stopped following God, and started following the rules instead, were called pharisees. Highly educated, wealthy and respected, but dead wrong.
Here is an example. Let's say your intent is to condition your body better to prolong or perhaps prevent surgery. So you sit down, and write down some action steps. Say, lift weights, change your diet and do some cardio. You have spent your life, since you are a black belt, taking responsibility for your actions, and you have been taught to write specific action steps, then work the plan. So you pick the weight training program, the diet and the work outs. 2 weeks into the routine, your family gets into the way. You have to decide if you are going to support your wife, daughter, son, mother or whomever, and readjust your work out, or stick to your goals; your written plan. You pick the plan, since you have made a commitment, and told everyone about it. You family life begins to erode, because your know you made the wrong choice; you followed the rules. You
gain weight. You miss your goal. Or, perhaps, you blow off your goals, and go with the family. The next day, since you report your progress, you have to admit you did not have the will power to stick to your goals. You have already failed. So you reset the goal, and start again. That is what we are taught to do. Discipline and endurance. Why so much discipline and endurance you should be asking. Research, sited above, tells us that the reason we fail is that goals don't work.
Or, if you remember the intent, which was health and prevention, you realize that the goals were not the end, but the tools. No change in plans or guilt is necessary. You just stick to your intention.
It was this earth shattering idea that goal setting is evil, if used as anything but a tool. Purpose and intent are everything. We discussed this in our schools leadership program, and they designed a plan called I MUST. This picture is my second commitment. I have already competed the first one. I assure you, the power of intent, purpose, and in my case, God, makes a mockery of Goals.
If you want a copy of this in PDF or Word, or you want to use the idea on your own, it is free to use. I only ask that you send us an email, or comment here if you use it, and let us know any results. This is NOT required, but it will encourage my leadership team if they see their work is, in fact, changing the world.

GALLATIN, KY, November 16 — Phoenix Services began operations at Nucor with their first official hot pot pour. The steel scrap recovery, and aggregate crushing and screening plant is currently being assembled and is expected to be fully operational in March/April 2016.
Phoenix sponsored research wins 2014 Samuel Arnold Greeley Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI). The Samuel Arnold Greeley Award recognizes the outstanding private practice paper in the area of: "design, construction, operation, or financing of water supply pollution control, storm drainage, or refuse disposal projects."
The award winning paper was the "Aging Effects in Field-Compacted Dredged Material-Steel Slag Fines Blends," which appeared in the April 2013 issue of the ASCE Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste, April 2013, which was the last in a series of technical papers addressing the potential use of dredged material blended with steel slag fines from the Sparrows Point steel mill complex in Baltimore as a commercial geotechnical fill for the Maryland Ports Administration.

A few days ago, we talked about Busuu as one of the best applications for learning languages. Today we are going to talk about DUOLINGO, which is another great global app to teach you how to speak a foreign language successfully. It has a volume of downloads ranging from 100 to 500 million in Google Play, and from 50 to 100 million in IOS.
Duolingo is a project that emerged in 2006 thanks to a MacArthur Scholarship granted to the student Severin Hacker. Unlike the usual didactic tools encouraging memorisation, this language app is focused on the user´s constant practice as well as gamification rather than on theoretical aspects, changing drastically and positively the learning method used to master a foreign languages.
French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Vietnamese … and even Esperanto! Learning a second language is no longer an issue, neither of time, nor motivational, nor economic … Thanks to an exquisite care of Duolingo´s framework (where usability and simple designs are paramount) and an intuitive work methodology (based on participation through the community, the 1 to 1 computer model, or the visualisation of learners´ progress in real time), users could manage to be understood in any language in a relatively short time just by dedicating 30 to 60 minutes a day.
Not only factors such as perseverance and discipline are fundamental for learning in Duolingo, but also the system of unlocked achievements, a rankings board and increasing levels; those features make learning with this app an enjoyable experience with just a little effort. Furthermore, it is not necessary to read complicated grammar boxes or learn conjugations, since understanding sentences is encouraged intuitively through images or the community itself.
Duolingo's algorithms will determine when you should return to practice the words learned so that you can retain them in the long term. To reinforce this point, you can always download "TINYCARDS", the complementary game to enhance the Duolingo lessons; the most downloaded educational app in the world uses a spaced repetition system and other smart learning techniques to help you remember new terms.
On the other hand, anyone can take part in creating new language courses; just with one condition, being bilingual in that language; this is possible since 2013 and through the Language Incubator. This is indeed a very interesting option to keep rare languages or those in danger of extinction such as Latin or certain German dialects. As a curiosity, it should be noted that the "High Valyrian" language from the "Game of Thrones" series has currently been published in Duolingo, although we have not yet discovered what native speaker was found to teach us this difficult task .
The Duolingo app is completely free. However, you can always buy the "Plus" option, so ads can be removed, and lessons downloaded to your device to learn offline anytime, anywhere.
So, what are you waiting for to enjoy learning and mastering the languages of the DUOLINGO universe?

Annular Eclipse more than the Pacific Ocean
Image by NASA Earth Observatory
To download the complete resolution and other files go to: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=78024&src=…
On May 20, 2012, sky watchers from eastern Eurasia to western North America saw a fiery ring around the Moon as it passed amongst the Sun and the Earth. Recognized as an annular eclipse, the occasion blocked sunlight across a swath of Earth up to 300 kilometers (185 miles) wide, and the effects had been most dramatic across the northern Pacific Ocean.
As individuals on the ground looked up at the sky and saw a ring, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) looked down and saw the Moon's shadow racing eastward more than Earth's surface. The MODIS instrument on NASA's Terra satellite captured this all-natural-colour image of the shadow on the Pacific Ocean at roughly 11:30 a.m. neighborhood time on Could 21 (23:30 Universal Time on May possibly 20).
Where the Moon passed in front of the Sun, Earth's surface appeared black (left half of image). Around the margins of the shadow, our planet's surface appeared yellowish brown. The shadow cast by an eclipse consists of two components, the totally shadowed umbra and the partially shadowed penumbra.
The annular eclipse started in southern China at 22:06 UTC on Could 20. It then passed more than the southern coast of Japan, and swept more than the Pacific Ocean south of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. The eclipse completed more than Oregon and California around 01:30 UTC on May 21, obtaining crossed the international date line. The eclipse reached its maximum duration of 5 minutes 46 seconds more than the Pacific Ocean.
In the course of this eclipse, the Moon's apparent diameter was 94 % of the Sun's, showing viewers on the ground a vibrant ring of light. Regardless of whether they could see the complete eclipse or just a partial eclipse, millions of individuals turned out to see the show and several posted their images online.

Is actually nice to play. I've read a lot about the game and never really thought much of it, but yesterday I decided to give it a try and dammit, is it addicting or what. A lot depends about finding the right champion that suits your playstyle, and I think I've fond mine (so far).
It's this weird dude called Heimerdinger. He has an interesting gameplay that involves turrets, rockets and grenades.

Centrify is to release software that lets Windows shops log, monitor and audit the activity of users working on Unix and Linux.
Centrify DirectAudit is aimed at helping companies comply with regulatory mandates by capturing a user's entire network session and then allowing IT to "play back" what transpired. The software records keystrokes and session output and stores the data in an SQL Server database.
The software works with Microsoft's Active Directory and integrates with Centrify's other product DirectControl, which provides cross-platform authentication and authorisation.
Centrify's suite of products is designed to give users one centralised identity service that runs in the Windows environment but extends to Unix and Linux.
"What we really like about DirectAudit is we have the ability to get into a console and use some user-friendly queries to get session information," said Manohar Nayak, senior architect of network security at Yodlee, which provides applications to financial institutions to support online banking. "Then we can play back what happened from a security or on operational perspective."
Nayak said the altering capabilities in the software also let Yodlee configure it to provide notifications when particular events are happening in the network.
"Previously we have a lot of manual processes to make those things work. There was a lot of overhead. DirectAudit and DirectControl make those tasks simpler," says Nayak.
Centrify says DirectAudit also can be used to help reconstruct problems that arise from configuration changes or to track what contractors or guest users have done on the network. Administrators also can see in real time who is accessing Unix and Linux systems and what they are doing.
The software has four parts, including a client agent used to gather session activity even if the network goes down. A Collector gathers the data from the agents, which send their information in a compressed and encrypted format. DirectAudit also supports load-balancing among multiple DirectAudit Collector Services.
The software also includes the Repository, which is built on an SQL Server database. DirectAudit ships with SQL Server Express in the box. The DirectAudit Console provides that centralised view into all monitored systems regardless of platform.
The software is priced at $750 per system and $2,500 for each console. It is expected to ship in May.

Imagine going through the lengthy trade mark application process only to find your application is rejected and the efforts, time and money you invested have gone to waste. Worse still – you have lost your important place on the Trade Marks Register which could mean that a competitor has its similar mark ahead of your application.
The application process for trade marks in Australia takes a minimum of around 8 months. This is often the minimum time frame wherever you are in the World but it can take up to 24 months to register your trade mark in some countries. Also, in most countries no refund is provided by the Trade Marks Office if it ultimately rejects your application.
So, for peace of mind that you have the application right in the beginning, make sure you have had the necessary research done, understand the criteria for registration and the trade mark will likely be accepted by IP Australia.
Consider the following points before applying for a trade mark in Australia or generally anywhere else in the World:
1. Conduct a thorough search of Trademarks Office database Register
This will help you discover whether there are any already existing registered trade marks or pending applications that might be a problem for you. It should confirm that you are not infringing any existing trade marks and that any application you file is likely to be accepted for registration. This can be critical as similar names are also relevant to the success of your application.
2. Avoid using common signs
Commonly used phrases and descriptive words are often rejected. These include things such as:
- Surnames: a surname is generally regarded as common if it has been used over 750 times in Australia.
- Geographical names: for example, a country such as Australia or a suburb such as Wynyard.
- Commonly used phrases: for example, "go green" for environmental services.
- Words that describe the goods or services: for example, "cool" for air conditioning
So selecting something unique to your industry will usually get you through.
3. Avoid prohibited signs
Pinnacle TMS recommends that companies and businesses avoid attempting to trademark prohibited signs such as flags (e.g., the Australian flag) and hallmarks.
There are other restrictions that may prevent your application from being accepted by the Trade Marks Office that you need to be wary of.
Don't waste your time and money on a trade mark that will be rejected.
This is particularly important if you intend growing your business and filing applications for your trade mark in other countries and want to use the Australian application/registration as the base to do that.

Helloooooooo there! I've been doing quite a lot of drawing at the moment, especially in my Art Journal. My Journal is one of my favourite possessions right now. I draw my favourite peeps, make playlists of my favourite music, the usual diary entries, collages. I'll hopefully post some non-private pages of it some time soon, along with some other babes I've been drawing lately in "My Little Book (/folder) Of Awesome." But for now here's a Mini Tumblr post.

I've been fangirling over a collection Susie Bubble blogged about recently. Au Jour Le Jour is the name of their label, and this wonderful garment is from their Autumn/Winter 2014 collection. It's full of cats, dogs, lips and many other patterns. I am just so in love, and I totally advise you to go and check it out.

A couple of make up looks I'm obsessed with.
These lovely ladies are: Emily Browning as Baby Doll in the movie Sucker Punch, and Hirari Ikeda.
While on the subject of makeup, I've been paying a bit too much attention to eyelashes and eyebrows lately. Actually, I've been getting up half-an-hour earlier all throughout the week so I could take my time drawing in my eyebrows. It's totally worth it though! I'm very happy with them! I also found a pack of false eyelashes in the bathroom drawer the other day, and I'm hoping to attach them soon for the first time ever! I wonder what I'll look like with them on. Hmmm...

BakFlip Tonneau Covers
The BAKFlip® G2 (Generation 2) Tonneau Cover / Truck Bed Cover is the NEWEST GENERATION (G2 = "GENERATION 2") of the original hard, folding multi-panel tonneau covers! Now you have all the security of a locking hard ALL METAL (aluminum) surfaced tonneau cover and have instant access to your entire truck bed!
The innovative BAKFlip G2 cover folds all the way forward and up against the truck's rear cab (rear window) giving you access to all of your truck bed without removing the cover! The BAKFlip is also easily removable with 2 fastening knobs and weighs only 40 lbs! PLUS - The BAKFlip DOES NOT INTERFERE with stakehole pockets on your truck, so it works perfectly with side rails, headache racks, tie downs, overhead truck racks, etc!
The BAKFlip G2 now uses a tough textured aluminum paneled surface for all flat panel surfaces above and below the cover. This incredibly durable panel has a double coat of epoxy primer that is baked on at 460 degrees. Once the primer has set, an extraordinarily tough and scratch-resistant polyester based coating is used as the final finishing coat (which gives the look of a tough, baked on enamel, but is much higher quality). This coating process ensures that the covers is both scratch and UV resistant.

Penelope and I sat snuggled on the couch. We had just finished reading a Little House on the Prairie book and began talking about our long-awaited and upcoming trip to the American Girl Doll store. Perusing the latest catalogs for the past few months, she had decided on Felicity, the Revolutionary War era doll. At five, she is just now beginning to have a small concept of history, of times long ago before she was born.
In the midst of our very grown-up conversation, she said, "Grandma, I know you are so glad to have me. You had boy after boy after boy after boy after boy and then you finally got me. You are so glad I am here." I had to smile, those big round eyes were so sparkly and serious! I had told her that a long time ago and I meant it.
While she was at my house, she and I baked bread. She was intrigued by the yeast, how it bubbled clear over the top of the bowl and the fact that it was "alive." We rolled dough with the old wooden rolling pin that had belonged to Clay's great grandmother, carefully shaping the ends and placing them into pans. Penelope placed hers in the miniature pan, one just for Grandpa.
When they came out of the oven, she was delighted and couldn't wait for Grandpa to see what she had done. Of course, he praised her, emphatically pronouncing it the best loaf ever, and thanked her for baking one just his size. And she was so proud, so happy to have pleased him.
Through these simple acts, of showing a child their value to us in the history of our families, of praising them well and often, of continually recognizing the use of their gifts, we are extending a blessing to our children (and grandchildren) that will hold a life-long influence over their choices and in their ability to bless others.
In part three of organic family life, I began discussing the topic of parental repentance by listing some of the duties that parents have toward their children. Today I am continuing by looking at another one of the greatest duties that is needed and one that, if ignored, will cause life-long pain and brokenness in the lives of children. Moms and dads must pass on a blessing to their children, individually, while they are in the womb and all throughout their adult lives.
The concept of giving a blessing to our children is rooted in the practices we find in the Old Testament. As we read the stories of one generation handing down a blessing to the next, we see that it is done from parent to children and also from church leaders to their congregations. It is part of passing on our faith and instilling a picture of God's purposes in the lives of His own.
As I have been thinking about the concept of blessing our children and have been reading references to this idea in Scripture, several key things have caught my eye. This list is by no means exhaustive but I hope it offers food for thought.
1. Receiving a blessing from your parents is something that is highly coveted and hoped for. The story of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 25 shows us the great desire that children have to be loved and accepted by their parents, sometimes to the point of sinning against others in order to receive it.
2. Sibling rivalry can come from not blessing all children. This same passage also demonstrates the fruits of favoritism in a family. Verse 28 tells us that Isaac loved Esau but that Rebekah loved Jacob, a situation that set everyone up for conflict. In fact, Jacob, though he wrestled in the wilderness with God and received God's blessing, still showed partiality to his own son, Joseph, causing bitterness and jealousy among his children and furthering the conflict into the next generations.
3. Blessings vary from child to child and family to family and are often expressed in the names that children are given. The sweetest sound to every human soul is that of their own name. How much more valuable is that name if there is a special meaning attached to it? How often we are told in Scripture that someone's name means such and such, implying that it has defined that person.
4. Blessing is not based on works, but on grace, and is not given because of what we have done but because of who we are in Christ. This is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children, the sense that they are valuable to us simply because God has given them to us. When I was a small child and heard my father talk about me being adopted, it was also told in the context that God had given me to my parents. What a precious memory that is for me!
5. In Jesus Christ we have every blessing we would ever need, so for those of us who might not have received a blessing from our parents, we can take great comfort in this truth. Have you ever known someone who was several decades old who had never received any sort of affirmation or approval from a parent? Perhaps this is the saddest thing imaginable, to believe that you are not loved solely because of who you are, because of who God made you to be, to feel that you are a disappointment to a parent not only by the things he said to you but by the things he didn't say. These are burdens that are so difficult to bear that they often cause future generations to stumble and fall.
I know a woman whose mother often told her "you are not like me at all" implying that the right way to be was like the mother, which was quiet and introverted; she was nearly a recluse. But this young woman was gregarious and outgoing. For many years she lived with the idea that something was wrong with her because she loved being with people so much! The difference in personalities between the two of them was so obviously annoying and distressing to the mother that she would often tell her child "you are the bane of my existence." The daughter never fully understood what that meant until she was looking up a word in the dictionary one day and her eyes fell on the meaning of the word "bane," which means poison. Imagine the sense of worthlessness she experienced at that moment. Cruel words from the lips of a parent can cause lifelong pain. Not hearing encouraging words can also be a grief that is too painful to bear.
I knew just such a man who struggled with this pain his entire life. Growing up on the mission field, he spent many years attending a school for missionary children, only seeing his parents during holidays and vacations from the time he was 5 years of age. He could not remember hearing his mother or father say "we are so sad to be apart from you" instead he continually heard them admonish him to be willing to sacrifice all for Christ.
As he grew older and answered the call to the ministry himself, he struggled as his father criticized everything from his choice of seminary and denomination to individual sermons. Eventually he gave up trying to please a father who did not accept him and their relationship was one that produced grief and unfulfilled longings. In spite of a series of personal losses that included the death of his beloved wife and children who rejected the Gospel, he preserved until his father died. Only a few months later, this dear man took his own life. I have often wondered what might have been had this missionary who had given his life to serving and ministering to others had invested in his own family, in a son who so desperately wanted the blessing of his father.
For those of us who have suffered from this experience, the precious truth that we were chosen by Christ before the foundations of the world, were purchased with His blood, are saved by His grace alone, and are of immeasurable worth to Him, is what ought to bring us healing, comfort, joy, and a great hope.
I would encourage you today to consider how you might bless each of your children, in word and in deed today, that it might give them confidence in the Lord and in their relationship with you. And I would also encourage those who struggle as the result of not having received the blessing of a parent. I pray that the Lord will continue to pour out His grace and healing to you.
For some incredible insights into the concept of the importance of blessing, I would highly recommend the book The Blessing by Gary Smalley and John Trent. I will be reviewing this book in the future as well.

As all of you know that after the astonishing hit of "MaattrraaN" "Suriya" is now busy with the first sequential film in Tamil, "Singam 2" with director "Hari".
This was their 4th combination film after the triple success of "Aaru", "Vel" and "Singam". "Singam" was the highest grossed movie of his career when it released. However, "7aum Arivu" beats that record and now looking for "MaattrraaN" to beat that record. "Singam" is the second highest grossed movie of that year after Endhiran.
Now, after "MaattrraaN" "Singam 2" is receiving a huge expectation because the first part received a huge response from child to adult audiences, while it was perfect Mass & Class combination which attracts children easily.
The fans also more expected because their hero will do a mass film. The cast and crew remain same, the only change in major casts are "Hansika" and a new "villain". The film will produce by "Njanavel raja" with the combination of "Reliance big pictures" and expected to be distributed by "Sun pictures".
If the reports are to be believed, a "Hollywood villain" will act opposite to "Suriya sir" after the amazing "Donglee" in "7aum Arivu". Unlike "Singam", "Singam 2" will also shoot in locations outside "India" ("South Africa").
The director 'Hari' said that the new "Singam" will be more powerful & sensible than the previous. He also said that "Singam 2" will have more humor & comedy which was carried by "Vivek". He picked a powerful "villain" after the stunning performance of "Prakash Raj" in 1st part.
It is interesting that "Anushka" only gives 25 day call sheet for the director then "Hansika" will add more glamour to the movie while, "Anjali" performs an Item dance.
Guys, how many are waiting for "Singam 2"? Please add your valuable comments and keep visiting for the latest & Truthful information about "Suriya sir".

Abby Hunter, 16, is at her best with a tin of colored pencils at her side and the blank sheet of paper in front of her.
She works starts to create careful patterns. As the pencil works, the sheet in front of Thomas Jefferson High School junior dances to life with vivid color, movement, and contrast.
"She has been using this technique for several years," Thomas Jefferson talented art teacher Laurie Holley said. "It kind of gives her work this droopy movement."
In December, she produced "Curious" -- a drawing of her nephew. The work is one of 10 finalists in the Rau For Art scholarship contest. Hunter's piece along with nine other artists in the New Orleans area will vie for significant prize money - first place is worth $7,500 with an option of a study abroad program in Italy and $500 to winner's high school art department. Second place is a $3,000 college scholarship and third place is a $1,500 college scholarship.
The finalists' work is hung in the Royal Gallery at M.S. Rau Antiques (630 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA www.rauantiques.com) through April 1. On April 2, the winning pieces will be announced at a private luncheon.
Hunter, who lives in Lafitte, is part of a contingent of three Thomas Jefferson students who made the final list. In addition to Hunter, here are the finalists: Allison Carubba (Academy of Our Lady senior) and Victoria McLean (Academy of Our Lady junior), Lauren Timphony (Chapelle sophomore), Desiree Camus (Fisher junior) and Madison Bourgeois (Fisher senior), Aiden Garrity (Thomas Jefferson junior), Stephanie Sullivan (Thomas Jefferson junior), Emily Cuenca (Mount Carmel senior) and Vanna Robin (Chalmette High senior).
"When I found out I was a finalist I was so thrilled. Last year I was also one, yet since then my art has grown tremendously and it's an amazing feeling seeing it be appreciated," Hunter said.
Hunter was identified early by the Jefferson Parish school system as a talented art student. She entered the accelerated program in third grade.
"Ever since I was little, I've been very into art," Hunter said via email. "I remember my second grade teacher Ms. Phillips pointed me out and made me start wanting to do more."
Hunter gravitated to children and her family - those have proved her biggest influences.
"Everything children show you is real, none of it is deceitful," Hunter said. "When they love something, they love it, which has always been so lovely to me. My piece is of my nephew Gavin, who is one of the most kindhearted kids I have ever met."
"(It is) actually made of two mediums. Colored onto a Bristol board, I cut out my nephew's figure and glued it on top of the paint design I created, almost giving it a slight 3D approach," Hunter explained. "I personally have a close connection to this piece and how it shows the curiosity of art, I feel as though so many people can understand just loving the way people can create things with some pencil and paint."
Though her pencil work defines Hunter's portfolio, she also paints and experiments with all sorts of techniques including stenciling artwork and applying mixed media to pieces.
The one theme is kids.
"She connects a lot with her family and children," Holley said.
In fact, Hunter paints shoes and sells those to friends around school, Holley said.
"She gets all sorts of requests around school," Holley said of the shoes.
Holley has been teaching at Thomas Jefferson since 2008 and has worked with Hunter for four or five years now.
"It took her about one month (to draw 'Curious')," Holley said. "She is very talented."
So are her classmates, Hunter said.
"It's even better that I get to experience it with two people in my grade and I cannot wait to see who the winner is," Hunter said.

'Broken Flowers'
Managed to spare some time to watch 'Broken Flowers' in the late afternoon during the 1st day of Chinese New Year. Wouldn't call it an instant indie classic as the routes taken by director Jim Jarmusch have all been taken before. Majority of the story is built around a thematic approach and hidden metaphors. Clearly this one of those art-house films that's thoroughly engages one with a vivid imagination and perceives intelligent films as the true celebrated art.
Quirky and colourful characters light the screen although personally I feel that Bill Murray should start staying away from these roles (think Adam Sandler on drugs) for now. Some screencaps of Bill Murray adorning some nice Fred Perry threads and some NSFW ones of Alexis Dziena for you readers out there.

Reply To: is yogurt ok?
Home › The Candida Forum › Candida Questions › is yogurt ok? › Reply To: is yogurt ok?
The forum's protocol talks about kefir and yogurt and when to start them.
Below is a quote taken from the post;
"Ten days to two weeks from the day you actually start the diet (depending on how your treatment has progressed at the time), you could test a natural probiotic, specifically homemade kefir or homemade yogurt – if you start one of these at that time, you should definitely use homemade products only and not a commercial type of yogurt or kefir.
Then two weeks later, or four weeks after finishing the detox, you can test commercially purchased organic non-sweetened Greek yogurt. Oikos and Fage are two excellent brands of organic Greek yogurt.
NOTE: Homemade kefir will be the most beneficial whole food supplement added throughout your treatment."

As part of our Action Sports group, Andy gets to work on two of his passions: skateboarding and engineering. Over the past 10 years, he's been involved in over 40 skate parks, contributing everything from earthwork calculations to drainage plans and fine grading.
Before becoming an engineer, Andy traveled the world competing as a professional skateboarder. He then transitioned into a career as an engineer, developing a deep understanding of the various components of land development. Combining those two careers has given Andy an educated eye for functional skate park flow, as well as the expertise to practically contour a project to a client's needs.
According to Andy, the most rewarding project he's worked on is the Oldsmar BMX track in Florida. He's particularly proud of how he and his team were able to identify potential issues with site drainage and facilitate discussions among all of those involved to arrive at a cost-effective solution based in sound engineering.
When he's not working, Andy can be found on the golf course or skating with his kids at his local skate park, a half-mile from his house.

Envisioning the Space: A Conversation with Kyle Hoff
Kyle Hoff recently joined the Practice·Space team as the lead designer for the build out of our new space in collaboration with Justin Mast. This summer, we're converting Joe's Auto Garage—a 3,800 square foot building located in North Corktown—into a multi-purpose workspace.
Kyle completed his masters in architecture at the University of Michigan, and last summer worked on a project in Spaulding Court with Justin (only a few blocks from the Garage). A few weeks ago, he left his job at an architecture firm in Chicago and moved up to Detroit. I sat down with Kyle to discuss his plans for the space and the underlying design philosophy behind the work. Below is a summary of our conversation. - Alex
Initial Impressions. When I joined onto the team, we had yet to secure a location. But I knew whatever the space, the aim would be to bring new life into an old building. When I first saw the garage, my first concern was lighting. However, this constraint actually lead to formulating some interesting ideas. We have to work with the existing light and focus on using materials that feel natural. We're defining the workspace in the back of the garage (the place with the least illumination) with poly-carbonate panels. The translucent materials will glow when it's lit, which will brighten up the space.
The Materials. We'll likely work from three materials: plywood, steel, and the poly-carbon materials. This gives us an opportunity to hold a language between all the pieces we build, and allows someone in the space to instantly identify the old versus the new. There is already a lot going on in the garage, so I moved away from highly textured materials such as reclaimed lumber which would add to the busyness already established by the industrial nature of the garage.
The Timeline and Budget. I don't feel overly concerned with the timeline, because we are currently working towards finalizing the design. Anything that needs to be fabricated, pre-cut will be ready to go before the build out. When we bring in the contractors, it ideally will take the form of an assembly process. In a way we are approaching it as an installation rather than a heavy-handed addition. However, the budget is somewhat limiting, so we have to be selective with the choice of materials. We looked at the work of IwamotoScott for the method of constructing under a limited budget, and also because they've worked with a similar material palette in the past. It's useful to learn from other architects to improve on a method.
An inspiration for the residents. We'll have access to the space August, 2013. Whatever happens, I hope the work will be an inspiration for people working in the Garage. If we can build out this space on this tight of a budget and timeline, it can be done elsewhere.

Veijo Baltzar wrote a script of a mythological folk opera Orli in 1992. Orli started as a street theatre in the city of Imatra in 1994 and turned out into a 2,5 hour-long folk opera that was eventually performed in Finlandia Hall (1000 seats), Helsinki, opened by the premier minister Paavo Lipponen.
Orli tells a story of a folk, tempted and forced by satanic powers to flee from their homeland, cross the sea and to search for new home in foreign lands. The play depicts a fight between Gods, good and evil, beautiful and ugly. The play discusses rites and myths, the consequences of losing them, as well as values and morals and their significance in nations' identities.
