WATCH | White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer speaks to the press.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer insisted that President Trump's controversial travel ban was not a ban at all.
However, Trump called the executive order a ban in a tweet, as a reporter brought up.
Spicer said Trump was using language "derived from the media."
spicer: it's not a ban— David Mack (@davidmackau) January 31, 2017
reporter: but the president called it a ban
spicer: it's not
reporter: is he confused or u?
spicer: i'm not confused pic.twitter.com/i4wWuuZ7JT
Here's the exchange that led to the confusion.
If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the "bad" would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad "dudes" out there!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2017
And here's the Trump tweet in question.
Spicer called it a ban YESTERDAY. https://t.co/fGaOdlx8ko— Paul Blumenthal (@PaulBlu) January 31, 2017
Spicer himself also called the order a ban in his previous press briefing.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly also said the order was not a ban.
There's no reason DHS Sec and Sean Spicer couldn't have held pressers to clear it up on Friday https://t.co/f9Jtkkyzy9— Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) January 31, 2017
He also said the media was part of the reason for the ban's messy rollout.

Our Atomic Stick decals feature a special permanent adhesive that bonds to any surface so strongly that even an atomic bomb wouldn't have the strength to pull them off!
Atomic Stick decals are recommended for use with exterior surfaces, low-surface-energy plastics, rigid surfaces, and any areas that get kicked, knocked around, or abused. We have tested this permanent adhesive backing on several of the most-popular textured plastic and metal products including garbage cans, trailers, rough plastic surfaces, street signs, warning signs, and more.
Permanent Adhesive vs. "Atomic Stick" AdhesiveDecal adhesives come in many forms, and occasionally we talk to customers who have unique products that demand a stronger adhesive. In this video, we showcase the power of atomic stick.
These decals are specially formulated for those hard-to-stick and heavily textured surfaces. Not only does the Atomic Stick adhesive create an extremely strong initial bond, but the longer it stays attached with its surface, the stronger the bond becomes; without any oozing or gooey residue—even in extreme temperatures!
Our specialized adhesive can't be found anywhere else. We've found a unique method to creating a stronger, thicker bond that can be added to any of the custom stickers or decals you'd like to order. Where other stickers and adhesives may fail, our Atomic Stick decals are sure to stick to the roughest, most rigid surfaces your brand and messaging need to be displayed on.

Fuzzy is one killer looking ant. But she's not an ant. She's actually a wasp. If you google fuzzy red ant, velvet ant, or Mutillidae you'll bring up pictures similar to below. Her wikipedia page describes her in more interesting detail. What you're about to read is her short lived adventure from the Grand Tetons in Wyoming to Oakland, California.
Fuzzy, was found in the Grand Tetons in our first campsite during the ultimate roadtrip to Michigan. She was thought to be some crazy hairy ant and that's what we called her the whole trip. I forgot to mention that the reason we took fuzzy with us was because Ingrid is a bug collector and has a real bug collection that is bona fide. Ingrid put Fuzzy in a water bottle with some dirt and loved it all the way to Michigan. She never let Fuzzy out of her sight and was constantly worrying about how she's going to get the ant onto the plane on the flight back.
We didn't want the ant to go through the x-ray, so we put her in a ziplock bag and I carried her in my pocket for 30 minutes. I was sweating, because the night before, we found out that she has a very powerful sting. Her official nickname is cow killer. All I could think of was the thin plastic and thin pocket lining that separated me and Fuzzy.
Once we flew back from Michigan to California, Ingrid immediately put Fuzzy in new dirt with tons of flowers full of sweet nectar. She was living the life and Ingrid grew more and more attached to it everyday, until one day, I knocked the glass jar over and shattered her house into a hundred pieces. I ran around the counter only to see Fuzzy twitching on the floor. She died today.
Ingrid was so sad and on the verge of tears. Rest in peace Fuzzy. The only velvet ant that ever traveled from the Grand Tetons, to Ann Arbor and pass away in Oakland.

-Region 12 Arabian Championships, our first and a SWEEP!
Charisma- 5/2004
Lautrec x Alada La Femme
(Charisma's very first Dressage show, just 3 months U/S- 83% at W/T!
Charisma has been by far, the easiest horse I've ever been blessed to start with. She out grew her fiery ways as a foal to become an outstanding, talented competitor. She' still has some sass though! From the time I first sat on her back, she always did what was asked of her.
(her very first show ever!)
After just shy 1 month U/S, at the age of 3 & 1/2, I decided to take her to a local show for mileage and she won every class she entered, including X rail jumping... of which she learned THAT day! This was one of MAN Championships.
Her next competition was a USDF Dressage show at Introductory level where she received whopping scores of 83% and an 81%!
Her third competition, and only 4 months U/S, she entered her first A rated Arabian Show at the Florida Thanksgiving show and blew the competition out of the water! She won her Sport Horse U/S Jr. horse class easily and was Jr. Horse Champion, then went on to win the Sport Horse U/S OPEN with extended gaits! I remember floated by the competition at the trot with her thanking God for such a fabulous young mare, and she demanded the Open Championship as well. She also won both of her Training Level Dressage testes with scores in the upper 70s (nearly 8 points above the rest) and captured Training Level Champion as well!
Charisma and went to another USDF Dressage show at the very competitive Clarcona circuit in Florida, and again, the little half Arab mare gave her all, and was 1rst and 2nd in her classes.
She gave me a wonderful birthday weekend in January claiming Half Arabian Sport Horse Jr. Horse and Open Championships, and again the Training Level Championships.
The next two Arabian shows I took her to, were duplicate shows as well. Never losing a class.
I remember all of my Arabian comrades telling me not to get my hopes up at what would be both mine, and Charisma's first Regional Arabian Championships with her not being U/S a year.
We both took the Championships by storm by claiming each one she entered. She was Region 12 Junior Sport Horse Champion, Sport Horse Open(against all ages of horses with several years training) and also Training Level Champion.
In between all of our shows and practicing, Charisma has always been a blast to just play with in the field. Playing tag, teaching her to go get her stall ball, feeding her the number one favorite treat of hers, bananas, or just hearing her whinny softly when she hears my voice, laying against her in the stall as she is sleeping, enjoying many trail ride adventures, laughing and watching her play in the sprinkler in her paddock, she's always a joy.
Unfortunately, Charisma suffered a difficult to diagnose lameness a few months later while she was in the paddocks enjoying some off show season time. After several months not getting a full diagnosis on what the issue was, and a few thousand dollars later, I could tell she was done being poked and prodded, and decided to turn her out for a year.
That was unfortunate in so many levels. Charisma was awarded her Legions of Honor that year as a 4 year old, the youngest horse at the time to do so in the Arabian Horse Association. She also broke Arabian Horse Association records SEVEN times her first year under saddle by being the Youngest horse to win the Open Sport Horse U/S, The Youngest horse to win Region 12 Sport Horse U/S, the Youngest Horse to win Region 12 Training Level Champion, the Youngest Horse to be awarded the Legions of Honor. An Honor she was unable to attend in all her glory due to a Vet's poor decision in diagnosing her lameness and using what little funds I had in useless poking and prodding. I learned a valuable lesson through her pain, equine scintigraphy. If that Vet had suggested it, we would have known WHERE to start treating. The equine scintigraphy was about 1600.00... I could have saved thousands of dollars and pain and aggravation to the best mare I've ever had come in my life.
In all, she won over 13 championships that year, and was only ridden 4 times a week, no more than 20-30 minutes each ride. She just didn't NEED to be worked. I met my competitive mach in the DRIVE to compete with her!
What I wasn't prepared for, was my life falling apart and my having to make the decision to split from the family business and move to Louisiana for, what I thought at the time, was good idea. However, having just a 4 horse trailer, I decided the smart thing to do was bring the stallions up and my old gelding for lessons, and leave mares behind this trip. Needless to say, things did not work out as I planned, and Charisma had to stay at the farm in Florida much, much longer than I anticipated.
When I made the long drive back after a year, it was 2 in the morning, I called to Charisma where she was out in her field, all I heard in return was her galloping while whinnying the whole way across her 5 acre paddock! I got my little "Disney" moment in real life when she slid in to the stall in the barn just talking and talking to me. I just wrapped my arms around her beautiful neck and told her how much I'd missed her, tears soaking her beautiful coat! They always say you have one horse in your life who captures your heart and soul, and Charisma and I have a very deep connection. I look forward to the day, very soon, that I get to ride her again and start her back in the show pen. It is something she truly loves to do.
No matter how silly and baby she could be in a warm up, you could literally FEEL her pull herself together when she entered the ring to compete. Almost like she were saying, GAME FACE!
Everyone who knows her, knows she's the Princess. She has the most amazing personality and heart and loves to play! I would play tag in the round pens at shows to keep her mind busy and free, which always caught the eye of onlookers, making them enjoy our little show.
Charisma also does Spanish walk and bows.
I truly wish my Grammy could have seen her compete. And in honor of the most important woman in my life, Charisma and I always have pink Breast Cancer Ribbon accents on our show attire every time we compete. My Grammy helped me acquire both Charisma's sire and dam, and without her, Charisma would not have been a dream made to reality.
This is what a 9 halt looks like on a 4 year old... LOVE her!
Sleeping at Tampa, I wish I could have gotten the shot where she laid back flat and fell asleep... nothing more comfortable then curled up against a 1000lb animals warm body when its cold out!
She and her baby brother, Rivendell as Weaners.

The Stanton Peele Addiction Website, July 7, 2010. This blog post also appeared on Stanton's blog at The Huffington Post website.
The Writing on the Wall: Why Americans Have to Be Brought Low
Although I don't believe in god, I believe God is visiting his judgment on Americans -- only we haven't seen his handwriting on the wall (you know, MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN).
The arguments between Democrats and Republicans are about how we can use more: how to develop alternative energy sources so we can continue to drive around whenever we want and overheat and air condition our homes; how to force insurers to pay for universal (but unproductive) treatments for everyone; how to resuscitate the economy to enhance everyone's materialistic lifestyles.
I am just returning from Southern California, where nature and the outdoors are built into people's consciousness -- at least the people I know. Meanwhile, the longest-standing fundamental deficiency in our lifestyles for decades has been water. A fair reading of Constitutional Law is that the Supreme Court was designed to resolve water disputes among the states.
The Hoover Dam was built and sold as a magical solution to the overdevelopment of the Southwest. It would eliminate the need for conservation. Well, a 20-year "drought" has permanently lowered Lake Mead (formed by the Colorado River at the base of the dam) at a level once thought exceptional (and it is still declining annually -- go visit the lake!).
My friends have no idea there is a water shortage. I watched as one washed four dishes with a steady stream from the faucet -- leaving it run full-force when she turned to talk to guests -- I estimate she used 10 to 15 gallons of water. But our Northern California friends are no better -- I saw people who hike every weekend gush water within sight of the water-wasting classic, "Cadillac Dessert."
How the hell else can you wash dishes, dam the water up and put your hands in dirty water? Ewww! Believe me, if these responsible, aware adults won't do that, their kids would require psychiatric care if forced to. (Oh, wait -- they're already in psychiatric care.) Meanwhile, China and India are just getting in on the waste game. And so, we need to run out of water; we need to run out of money; we need to run out of gas.
MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN, baby.

A Room for Baby
I scrubbed my kitchen and bathrooms, dusted and vacuumed the whole house, and did 4-5 loads of laundry. I also started working on what will soon be Ninja Baby's room.
The previous owners of my house had little boys. The room was decorated very cute with green and blue and an airplane border. When we first moved in 3 years ago we had just started trying. I thought "perfect, if we have a boy the room is done". And then we couldn't get pregnant. The longer it took the harder it became for me to see the "baby's" room. Eventually we used it as a storage space and shut the door.
Now that we're having a little guy, I feel the need to start fresh. On Saturday the airplane border came down. I Spackled the walls, and it's ready for a primer. I ordered the crib set and it should be here by the end of the week. From there, I can pick a wall color. Once the room is painted, my mother can buy the crib. She's been itching to for a while now and I can't say that I blame her.
I'll post some before/after pictures when I get a chance....

I keep questioning the whole nesting thing, myself. Is it nesting just because I noticed that our home needs dusting? Or is like every other time I happen to notice we need dusting? LOL
I'm in the process of getting our nursery together, too, and am really enjoying it. It's fun, makes it all seem real, and is really giving me something to look forward to - looking at all the stuff and thinking, "Wow, he's really going to use this stuff soon."

ASYLUM regulations adopted by the government last year are in breach of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, to which Cambodia is a party, the group Human Rights Watch asserted in an open letter to Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday.
The letter is critical of the deportation of 20 Uighur asylum seekers in December – which came two days after the regulations were signed by Hun Sen – and calls for the government to bring its policies in line with international law.
"Cambodia's new regulations allow the government far too much leeway to deny refugee status and to forcibly return people who fear persecution," Bill Frelick, HRW's refugee policy director, said in press statement also released Thursday.
Accompanying the letter is a point-by-point analysis of Cambodia's Sub-decree on Procedures for Examination, Recognition, and Provision of Refugee or Asylum Status for Aliens that outlines concerns related to 15 articles, many of which, HRW contends, contravene the UN convention.
"The sub-decree provides Cambodian authorities numerous and overlapping bases for refusal of refugee status or removal with insufficient safeguards to protect against the wrongful removal of people with protection concerns," the rights group says in its analysis, which places particular emphasis on the sub-decree's definition of a refugee as someone who faces a "serious" fear of persecution.
"By specifying serious persecution, the sub-decree suggests that less-than-serious persecution could be grounds for denying refugee status, thus creating a higher standard for refugee status than the Convention requires," the analysis states.
The HRW analysis is yet another example of international criticism of both the new refugee regulations and the Uighur deportation. Rights groups have claimed that the deportees – who are believed to have witnessed clashes between Chinese security forces and Uighur demonstrators in Xinjiang province last summer – were likely to face torture and possible execution upon their return to China.
Two days after the Uighurs were deported, China and Cambodia inked aid agreements worth US$1.2 billion, sparking speculation from some commentators that last-minute changes to the sub-decree – which strengthened the government's power to deport asylum-seekers – had been rushed through in a bid to please Beijing.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said Thursday that he had not yet had time to read the HRW letter in detail, and that legal experts would be consulted on the analysis. He said the refugee sub-decree had been formulated "within the framework of the national sovereignty of Cambodia".
Despite the point-by-point analysis, Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said the HRW letter had failed to specify which articles of the sub-decree needed amending. "They are a big organisation, but they do not know how to make such a statement," he said. "They failed to mention which points require the amendment from the government."

Illegal dumping uncovered: Kittens, cans and fully-decorated Christmas trees among items plaguing the countryside
- Serial dumpers using the countryside as an illegal tipping ground
- Rabbits, cats and dogs discovered dumped alive in bin bags
- 1,000 tyres dumped in field
- 500 cans dumped in 1916 memorial garden
- Have you experienced illegal dumping? Send your pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com
Kittens, dogs and fully-decorated Christmas trees are just some of the items that have been illegally dumped across Ireland's scenic countrysides.
Fields, roadsides and even war memorials have become dumping grounds in recent weeks, with the clean up costing the tax payer thousands every year.
Calls are being made for more stringent dumping laws as numerous areas around the country have been hit with illegal dumping.
More than 500 beer cans were dumped in recent days at a war memorial garden in Hollyford, Co Wexford.
The local Tidy Towns committee members were shocked as they were greeted with piles of rubbish dumped at the 1916 garden area near the River Bann in the village.
A pile of more than 500 beer cans and glass bottles were left, along with an artificial Christmas tree with decorations still attached, plates, mugs, a grill with tinfoil and cooking oil still on it as well as broken glass.
There is a recycling centre just 200m away, that takes bottles and cans.
In Sligo, two kittens were placed in a plastic bag with some rocks before being dumped. Just one had survived when it was found.

Outsourcing backlash2 min read . Updated: 14 Dec 2007, 12:13 AM IST
Outsourcing backlash
Outsourcing backlash
With goods, it's possible to have (protectionist) barriers, even though it would be really unwise to have them. In contrast, with services, I think it is not even possible for a state to come in the way without seriously interfering with personal freedoms and open telecom systems. Even if the worst politicians get their act together and whip up a lynch mob, I don't see how they can block outsourcing of services jobs.
US importing trouble
The Fed dropped interest rates, as expected.
Yes, there's the problem of credit crunching and a slowing economy. By that standard, the central bank is doing its job of easing the pain. But then there's the issue of the Fed's other mandate: price stability.
The subject promises to be topical today and in the days ahead after investors digest the fact that import prices last month rose 2.7%—the largest monthly increase since 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. That elevates the 12-month gain in the import index to an extraordinary 11.4% through the end of November. Such levels haven't been seen since the 1980s.
Of course, we can almost hear the optimists countering that the rise was due largely to the surge in energy prices in November. Quite true, and if you exclude petroleum from the figures, import prices rose by a substantially lesser pace of 0.7% last month. Yet, the fact remains that prices paid for imports are on the rise generally, and in more than a few cases the pace is in the upper range for recent if not distant history.
The US, in short, runs the risk of importing inflation at a higher dosage than we've seen in quite a few years. It's not a huge problem today, next week or next month. But over time, left untended, the disease will take its toll.
A weaker dollar brings higher import prices, and so to the extent that the buck continues to suffer in the forex market, import prices will stay high and/or rise.
In the short term, the great hope for temporary relief comes from oil. Although imports of crude have a large and growing impact on the overall import price level, it's not beyond the pale to think that energy prices could fall in the short term, all the more so if the US economy weakens. For a time. But in the long run, the US will continue to import more oil, which will put pressure on the dollar, which supports higher import prices. And as far as we can tell, no economist is predicting (if) US imports in non-petroleum items will decline or stay flat as a long-term proposition.
But what of the Fed? Can the central bank ride to the rescue? Perhaps, although that would require a hawkish stance for monetary policy. Alas, just the opposite is in play at the moment, and the odds of that changing any time soon look dim. And so, as the Fed drops interest rates, the bearish pressure on the greenback looks set to rise.

Bangalore: The National Tennis Association of Indonesia today named the squad for the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group I relegation tie against India to be played at KSLTA Stadium here from April 5 to 7.
The Indonesian squad will reach the city on March 31 and start training from April 1, while the Indian players will start arriving here from March 30.
Both India and Indonesia square off after losing their previous ties.
A depleted Indian team, hit by the absence of top players, lost to South Korea 1-4 in February, while Indonesia suffered a 0-5 whitewash at the hands of Japan.
India, however, with the return of their key players Somdev Devvarman and Yuki Bhambri, besides doubles ace Leander Paes, firmly start as favourites against Indonesia, which had lost all five earlier ties against India.
The two teams played last in 1992 when India won 5-0.
Indonesia`s best record in Davis Cup was in 1983 and 1989 when it qualified for the World Group.
Hendri Susilo Pramono will be Indonesia`s non-playing captain.
The squad: Christopher Rungkat, Elbert Sie, Wisnu Adi Nugroho and David Agung Susanto.

A Guide to Online Counselors
The term counselor does refer to a professional who is well trained in dealing or rather solving people's issues. They do give advice and guidance on how to take on certain matters without any conflicts arising. A counselor can be defined in various terms as they are also known as a trial attorney, but regardless of the position they hold their main goal is one. That is to offer advice that are related to psychological issues. Counselors can be reached through various ways but in recent times people opt for the online counselors.
Click here to get started
The forum of having online counselors has benefited many in various ways. Through this approach majority of the people have found it to be convenient to them. This means whenever they need expert advice or therapy sessions they can easily have a Skype conversation with their counselors. The convenience has led to people having an easy time to get their therapy time at ease and share their thoughts with the counselor.
The thing that scares people off when looking for a counselor is their privacy not getting exposed. With the new platform of having a video chat with your counselor has enabled people to have their esteem well maintained as they feel secure other people won't meet them in the waiting rooms. This is a benefit that has helped many to be able to open up and share their problems with the counselor at ease without having any worry whatsoever.
Visit website
for more info.
Online counselors have saved people or their patients the time to wait in hallways for their turn to reach. The trips to make when going to see your counselor have been removed as now people can use Skype to converse with their counselors. Time has been saved as the only appointment one should make is scheduled time when they need the therapy sessions. Most online counselors are flexible meaning their patients can request for a therapy session anytime they are need.
The cost of having an online counselor is quite affordable than those who have offices for people to visit. For this reason people nowadays prefer to have an online counselor because they can afford the therapy session price set. When looking for online counselors it is advised to make a thorough research and ensure the counselors are certified and hold certificates that authorize them to become counselors. This is because you don't want to be scammed off by people who are out there for their money and not tend to your interests.

"Why are you sitting alone in here?" The queen peeked her head around the doorway into my workspace.
I slid off my stool to my feet. "I was just thinking. I should get back to work."
She stood in the doorway. "It's okay, you deserve a break. I've seen how hard you've been working today. That reminds me, I didn't see you in the dining room this morning."
"I… wasn't feeling up to breakfast, and I wanted to get a head start on my work."
Alexandra entered the room. "There's no rush to get the garden done, Zinnia. I wouldn't want you making yourself sick over it." She took my hand. "Why don't you join me for lunch? That way I can be sure you've eaten a proper meal."
"I wouldn't want to impose. I mean, it can't be proper for me to eat with the queen, can it?"
"It'd be rude to refuse a queen's invitation." She winked, coaxing a smile from me.
"Then I guess, I have to come."
The queen smiled and led the way to the dining room, off the left of the throne room. Guards passing through the corridor stared at us, but Alexandra paid them no mind. I kept my head down to avoid their eyes. We reached the entrance, and I heard staff bustling about, setting the table for the queen. When we entered, the queen approached one of the workers.
"Could you set another place next to mine for my guest? I want to be sure gets a good meal."
"Yes, your highness."
She smiled and thanked her, gesturing to her place at the table. I took the seat at her right side, placing my hands in my lap. She took her seat, watching the staff hurry to make the addition.
"It's like watching a performance, isn't it?"
My gaze flicked up to watch them, moving around us to bring out dishes, silverware, and fruit and bread to start the meal. "It does seem that way, your majesty."
She touched my shoulder. "Why the sudden formality?"
I turned my attention back to her. "I just, I don't want other staff thinking I'm disrespecting you."
"I see. Well, if it makes you feel more comfortable, how about you call me Alexandra when it's just us?"
"Thank you, your majesty. Or your highness. I never quite understood the difference."
She laughed. "Well, majesty refers to kings and queens while highness is usually other members of the royal family like princes or princesses. Oh no, don't look so embarrassed! It's a tiny difference, and I understand people mean respect. That's why I don't correct them."
I heaved a sigh. "Okay, I'm glad I didn't offend. Wouldn't want to get fired on some of my first days here."
"Of course not! Now, feel free to take as much as you like."
My eyes wandered over steaming rolls and bowls overflowing with grapes, strawberries, and apples. "This looks delicious! Shouldn't you go first?"
"Tell you what, you get your food first, then I'll take the first bite from mine, deal?"
"Okay, deal." I picked off little bits of everything, arranging on the plate.
Alexandra took to the berries and rolls, leaving the grapes and apples untouched. As soon as she took the first bite of her bread, I ate strawberry whole, down to the leaves. Juice dripped down my chin, and I wiped it away with my left hand, going in for another berry. The works set plates of chicken and vegetables around us, and their eyes bore into me from behind. I froze as I took another piece of fruit, raising my head to meet the queen's eyes.
"I'm so sorry. I don't know what you must think of me-"
"I was thinking you must be hungry. Eat, eat, it's okay."
I dabbed at the corners of my mouth with my napkin, popping a grape in my mouth. One of the works chuckled, and the heat rose in my cheeks. I opted to switch to the bread, tearing a piece off. The queen took to the vegetables while I finished up the fruit, piling her plate with broccoli and spinach. I cringed and she laughed when she caught sight of me.
"Come on now, they're good for your health. They don't taste bad, I promise."
"Oh, no, they taste awful. I've had more than my fair share forced upon me."
"The cooks here do an excellent job making the healthy food taste just as good as the sweets here." She took my plate and served me vegetables and chicken in equal parts. "Trust me. Try taking a bite of both the meat and the vegetables together."
I stabbed a small piece of broccoli and a few spinach leaves, capping it with a piece of chicken breast. "Down the hatch." I took the bite and paused working through the salty, earthy flavors mixing together. "You weren't kidding!"
"I'm glad you see it my way! Next time, I'll make sure you get plenty of vegetables to try."
"There's a next time?"
The queen smiled. "Of course! Can't have you skipping any more meals, can I? I'll have to keep an eye on you myself!"

You Don't Know What You Don't Know
Alabama is a dangerous place to purchase real estate. Be prepared.
Ask your REALTOR®/Buyer Agent how your interests are being protected.
Only use an adequately HOA trained professional who will represent & protect you.
(PowerPoint Presentation)
(PDF Presentation)
The mission and vision of the Alabama Real Estate Commission is to "protect the public through the licensing & regulating of Real Estate licensees and insure public confidence in real estate transactions"
Many properties are subject to Community Covenants and Restrictions (CCRs). CCRs are recorded at the county seats and are private agreements establishing a compulsory legal obligation over property for the purchaser. They cover such things as approved use of property, repair, modification, dues, debt and much more. Often times, they conflict with state and local law. For instance, an association may attempt to regulate parking on a city owned street though they have no jurisdiction over non owned property. The only jurisdiction an association has is over common property and within the lot lines of property within the boundaries of the association. City and county streets do not afford jurisdiction. A lot generally stops just inside the front sidewalk, where present.
Just because you did not know there was an active association, or the existence of such documents that could result in a future assessment of dues and enforcement of covenants, does not relieve you from your obligation to appropriately advise a Buyer or for the purchaser to follow them. Beware: Although the MLS listing may reflect a no, indicated as "N" in the association field, one may be formed in the future if the nonprofit association was filed with the state. This is easily checked with the Secretary of State (link below). Some communities have active Homeowners Associations and, as previously mentioned, others may have had the appropriate documents filed creating the option to establish an Association subsequent to purchase or after completion of all homes in the community.
Realtors® are a licensed professional and are held to a higher standard. Don't wait on your Board or MLS to provide training. Mitigate risk yourself; serve your clients. Insist that your Board and MLS provide adequate training, forms, and other tools to serve you as a member and the buying and selling public.
Draft Purchase Addendum…
For Realtors®: The HOA Minefield – Mitigating Risk…
Check HOA incorporations with the Secretary of State's office...
Check HOA incorporations filed under HB-241 with the Secretary of State's office...
The Homeowners Association Act...
Code of Alabama...
Note:There are inherent problems with the 2016 Homeowners Association Act, the biggest of which is no enforcement. If a developer chooses not to file or comply with any of the requirements therein, the aggrieved party must resort to filing a civil action with an attorney. This was recognized as a major problem from day one; however, special interest parties lobbied very hard against any enforced accountability and more...and won. It is up to consumers to protect themselves.
You can make your purchase offer contingent upon receiving and
approving material information before you are committed to purchase
Don't be bullied into skipping this.
If the agent or seller says "NO",
Just say, "NEXT".

Community and Conservation Fund (CCF)
The Community and Conservation Fund (CCF) is our own AONB fund. It primarily grows from our partnership with local businesses – the AONB Supporters – who raise money on our behalf to support grass roots conservation, access and education projects in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB. It is also into this fund that all our other donations find their way from individuals or organisations.

The "release" was also effusive in its praise of discipline in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
Bhopal: A purported press note issued by Seva Dal of Congress has praised Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), particularly taking note of its role in freedom movement of India, leaving the grand old party red-faced.
Incidentally, the pro-RSS press note by Seva Dal, a key frontal organisation of Congress, has come in the wake of recent virulent attacks on the saffron outfit by AICC president Rahul Gandhi who has even compared it with Islamic militant groups such as ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood.
The purported press note recounted how RSS founder Dr Hedgewar was jailed for participating in the non-cooperation movement during the freedom struggle and how RSS had protested visit of Simon Commission to India.
The "release" was also effusive in its praise of discipline in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
The "press note" was released on the occasion of opening of three-day national camp of Seva Dal in district headquarters town of Bhind in Madhya Pradesh on Monday.
In an apparent damage control exercise, Seva Dal spokesman on Monday described the "faux pas" as typical error saying, "Instead of Seva Dal, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been written in the press note because of printing error".
Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesman Bhupendra Gupta however saw hand of RSS behind it, alleging that, "It was a fake press note being circulated by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh".
BJP spokesman Rajnish Agrawal however denied role of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the controversy reminding the Congress spokesman of admission by none other than the Seva Dal spokesman of typical error in the press note.
"The Seva Dal spokesman has admitted that the press release was issued by his organisation", he added.
Earlier, AICC general secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Deepak Babaria had created flutter in his party by appreciating the culture of discipline in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and exhorted his party to emulate it.

Designed specifically for pairing with the Wolf Tooth Camo Spider, this aluminum elliptical chainring features just 10 percent ovality for the perfect maintenance of force while pedaling. This exact shape ensures that when your pedal position is at its maximum force, the gear turns quickly to supply more power to the wheel. When your power is at its weakest point in your pedal stroke, the gear is positioned to make the most of your power. This leads to less fatigue, and more efficient and longer rides. You will need to pair this with a CAMO Spider which will make chainring swaps quick and easy, so you can dial in your gearing for whatever the trail holds.

Yeovil Town midfielder Otis Khan will miss Friday's FA Cup tie against Manchester United - his boyhood club - after being issued with a five-game ban.
Khan was sent off for 'shoving' referee Kevin Johnson in last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Chesterfield in League Two.
Speaking after the Chesterfield defeat, Yeovil manager Darren Way told the club's official website: "I look at the crowd's response, their bench's response, I've seen the incident myself… I don't really know what to say because the decision was that bad.
''I do feel a little bit sorry for Otis because one man by not making that decision has almost shattered his dreams.
"You've got a broken lad in (the dressing room). I'm gutted for the player; nothing will happen from the other aspect, and there will only be one punishment. Nothing else will come of it and that's what disappoints me."
Subsequently, the FA have announced that Khan will now serve a five-game ban, increased from the original three-game suspension.
A statement released by The FA on Tuesday reads: "Yeovil appealed the red card, however, they failed to convince an Independent Regulatory Commission that the referee made an obvious error in sending the player off.
"Furthermore, the Independent Regulatory Commission increased the player's standard suspension of three matches by an additional two matches as it considered the appeal had no prospect of success.
"The decision cannot be appealed."
After coming through the academy at Manchester United, Khan moved to Sheffield United at the age of 16. He went on to have loan spells at Buxton, Matlock Town and Barrow before earning a permanent move to Barnsley in 2016. After making just three appearances at Oakwell, Khan moved to Yeovil Town and has flourished under the management of Darren Way.
The 22-year-old midfielder issued a heartfelt apology via Twitter on Sunday, insisting that 'there was no intention' to make contact with the referee.
Khan goes on to write: "I am absolutely heartbroken at this time because my dreams of playing against my boyhood club are in doubt.
"It's the worst time of my life at this moment."
League Two outfit Yeovil host Manchester United at Huish Park on Friday, in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup. The match will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on BBC One (kick-off 19:55 GMT).

Welcome to Twenty and Something.. 🙂
It should be tomorrow, my birthday. But indeed, I decided to celebrate it today, on December 11.
So.. Before, I actually have planned to have some lunch together today with my friends (Mirjam, Tugsem, and Ester). Then with all of sudden, the idea of having a 'bigger' lunch together came up when I was getting up this morning. It's always like that, yes, Sagittarians always do something we call as 'impulsive thingy thing' or simply the sort of thing Sagittarians do in almost every time. :')
In Brief, I did some petit shopping to Carrefour (because you know, none is open on Sunday but this one! c'est bizzare!). So I bought de la dinde, du boeuf, des legumes, des ails, des pommes de terre, des boissons, des bougies, une tarte aux pommes et des trucs.
Just after arriving back home, I told my neighbors (Sandrine-Jin Biqian) about my birthday, and I invited them of course. I phoned my friend Karita who lives in another town, Saumur which distance about 60Km or 20 minutes by train. I also invited other girls in my foyer, but some of them won't be able to make it due to another occasion.
Alors, you know, everybody loves Indonesian food here, modified Indonesian food indeed (I totally made them love these foods *so, I think you have to pay for me Mr. Minister of Tourism, I did my homework very well here, promoting Indonesia la la la*) Then, to ease everybody I will cook, no, they will cook Indonesian foods!!!
Here is, at 14 o'clock we started to wash, to cut, to boil, to to to to to and to.. a lot of things to do. What did we cook? Okay, this is the list: Perkedel, Opor (poulet au coco), Tumis jamur + Sawi kecil, Tahu goreng pakai tepung (tofu frié), nasi goreng pedasss (riz sauté), Beef Teriyaki, Udang saus tiram (crevette au sauce saveur huitre*oyster*), maybe there are another things, well, I don't remember exactly. Big remarks, they love Perkedel to deep of their heart, I can say like that! They love nasi goreng pedassss dengan bumbu terasi within! They love Udang saus tiram, they love tahu goreng, and they love Tumisan! 🙂
The thing is, it was so nice to see people from other countries cooked your foods. They are that curious about 'how could it be so delicious?' 'One day I want to go to Indonesia, and just eat there!' 'can you give me the receipt, all of these foods, after a while?'. They love the tastes; they simply love those 'fascinating, all inclusive, wow' foods. So, we spent for about two hours (I'm not sure, but may be more than that) for cooking!
We're finished!
Let's start the party! We ate, we talked; we took so many photos together. I've got some presents (that's very nice of you all, though it's a bit a sudden party, à la limite pour trouver des cadeaux). It's touching!
We continued to 'work' with the tarte aux pommes (I was a bit worried whether it'd be enough for everybody, or not. It's a tiny tarte!). My first slice was addressed to my parents of course, but then I ate it my self, by the way.
The most memorable was when everybody's singing for me a birthday song in their own mother tongue, so I've got Russians, Hungarians, Turkish, Chinese, and our country Indonesia, birthday song! 🙂
Last, this was my very first time organizing a birthday party in which I prepared everything my self, I did shopping, I invited 'everyone' (not literary it was), I cooked the food with them. That was so amazing, hope this '22 years' will bring along a lot of other amazing things in my life, a more amazing than what I've already got by now.. 🙂
Happy birthday,
Selamat berjuang tahun!

Seeking a better Garda service in Meath and across the country.
This petition had 1,441 supporters
The Commission on the Future of Policing was established by the Dail to bring forward proposals on the future of policing in Ireland. The Commission is seeking views from the public before 31 January next. Full details are on their website (policereform.ie). I thought it would be convenient for Meath East constituents to co-sign this petition, which is actually my own submission on behalf of the local area as our own particular policing needs. My party is making a detailed submission on national issues - this submission is confined to local issues.
There is an extraordinary and well justified fear of crime in local communities across Meath posed by the threat of criminals to people and their property;
Gardaí on the ground do extraordinary work but there is a dire need for more, and more visible, Gardaí on the ground in local communities throughout Meath.
Meath East is particularly vulnerable because of an abject failure of Garda resources to keep pace with population change and the increased ability of criminal gangs to access commuter and rural areas because of the improved motorway network (Meath East is served by the M1,M2, M3 and M4 as well as local roads).
Garda resource decisions, while presumably based on many factors, do not appear to be based in any way on population trends. That is especially the case in Meath which has a vastly lower number of Gardai than Westmeath on a per capita basis, for no obvious logical or policing reason. This is grossly unfair, unreasonable and erodes public confidence in a realistic police presence. The Commission needs to bring forward proposals that will secure public confidence that Garda resources are allocated reasonably and fairly around the country.
The issue of Garda Stations is also linked to Garda presence. There is an absence of any Garda stations in large areas of rural and commuter communities in Meath. Decisions on where Garda stations are to be located were taken before the independence of this country by the RIC. This is unacceptable in a growing community which has changed dramatically in the past twenty years alone.
Ratoath, for example, is the largest town in Ireland without a Garda station. Stamullen is another example of an urban area with a large rural hinterland without a Garda station.
I don't suggest that Gardaí be confined to barracks. Indeed, they need to be on the beat as much as posssible. However, the presence of a Garda station is an important presence that deters crime and gives citizens confidence. In the immediate term, there doesn't seem to be any reason why the Gardai could not be requested to open sub offices or clinics in areas without Garda stations. This would be an important first step. However, the Commission needs to ensure that Garda Stations are located where they need to be located.
Every Garda is a community Garda, but some areas have dedicated, named community Gardai who do tremendous work. I believe that the community Garda Scheme should be extended nationwide and that every district have a Garda whose role it is to get to know the local community as well as possible.
Rural citizens feel particularly vulnerable and the Commission needs to take into account the specific needs of rural areas and the need for rural areas to be adequately policed. There is support for community alert schemes from an Garda Siochana and this should continue and be enhanced. Some rural areas in Meath lie adjacent to towns in other counties where there is a Garda station. It needs to be made clear that these stations serve their hinterland, even in the different county. The towns that this would apply to are towns that are adjacent or or even partly in Meath, like Kilcock, Drogheda, Maynooth, Balbriggan, Garristown, Kingscourt. Currently, Meath residents living nearby don't feel served by this nearby Garda presence. Garda resources for these stations should also reflect the fact that they have a hinterland beyond their county boundary.
Thanks for taking this submission into account which is a brief account of some of the issues affecting the commuter belt, in Meath specifically.

Health Benefits of Cardamom
Cardamom combines health benefits and spicy flavors to Indian dishes.
Growing wild in Sri Lanka and south of India is the cardamom. It is also cultivated in some other tropical areas. Silver Grell, a health author, every cardamom seedpod is usually handpicked. Cardamom belongs to the same family as clove and ginger. Cardamom contains warming properties and it adds spicy warmth to the Indian dishes.
Benefits to digestion
Cardamom is known to stimulate the appetite in the same way in which it spices dishes that are bland. It is known to stimulate the digestive system. It is also able to counteract excessive stomach acid. This is according to the author, Silver Grell. The carminative properties of cardamom help in relieving flatulence and indigestion. Cardamom essential oils studies done on animals have demonstrated the ability of stimulating the production of bile and reduction of gastric juices.
Inhibit Pathogen Growth
Herbal Medicines PDR reports that cardamom is able to inhibit the development and growth of viruses, fungi and bacteria. It may help those individuals who are having little resistance to infections and diseases. Its capacity to fight disease and its stomachic properties help in reducing bad breath.
Benefits in Respiration
Author Silver Grell says that cardamom helps to improve lung circulation. It soothes mucus membranes.
A therapeutic guide to herbal medicine called German Commission E Monographs, verified the safety and efficacy of cardamom for the treatment of colds, bronchitis and coughs. It contains expectorant properties and can lead to a reduction in the production of mucus.
Tea containing Cardamom may help in reducing sore throats. Herbal Medicines PDR has said that Commission E has approved usage of cardamom for the treatment of pharynx and mouth inflammation. Traditional medicines have been using cardamom oil in the treatment of inflamed nerves, back muscles and joints that are swollen. Cardamom has analgesic properties, as Indian medicine and traditional ayurvedic reports that it eases joint and muscle pain.
Masseuses use cardamom essential oil for massages to relax the muscles and for stimulating the mind.
The Association of Physician Journal in India published in August 1998 reported a cardamom analysis of flavonoids and phenolics. It rated the antioxidant cardamom properties at 50-100mg medium levels per serving.
Cardamom is used in Indian medicine for treating bladder disorders, urinary tract disorders and the kidney. It also treats other complications such as nephritis and cystitis.
A study done on animals which published on the July-August Pharmacological Research edition in 1996 verified the antispasmodic cardamom properties. The properties could validate cardamom use in remedies of folk in stopping convulsions and hiccups, relieving stomach and intestinal cramping, relieving morning sickness and reducing vomiting and nausea.
Use of cardamom in the treatment of depression has not been validated. Some herbalists however claim that tea made from cardamom helps in relieving depression.
