How to write a Quinceanera Speech
For your quinceanera speech, I want to pass along one of the best pieces of advice I was ever given about how to figure out what to say. The man told me to break everything down to one phrase, and from there, add everything else.
It sounded so simple, but it made my speech writing so much easier!
Can you think about what you want to say for your quince speech and break it down to one line?
Let's run through this together.. I have no notes, so I'm just going to do this off the top of my head.
Message: Thank you
That's a common message for a quinceanera speech.. let's keep going.
Let's add some of the W questions - Who, what, when, why, and how.
Who are we going to thank?
- Parents
- Madrinas and Padrinos
- Family
- Guests
- Best friends (maybe?) and the Court of Honor
What are we thanking them for? Again, I'm just going with the flow here. Brainstorming..
Parents – generosity, upbringing, values, confidence, setting a great example, support, unconditional love.
Madrinas and Padrinos – participation, support, love, being there for your parents, helping you make this day special.
Family – support, fun, understanding, love, shaping your personality, learning, guidance.
Guests - participation, showing up, being a part of your life, confidence, support.
Best friends and Court of Honor - Understanding, being there, participating, funny moments, accepting, listening.
**Throughout the speech, we can add a story here and there, to make it flow nicer.
When is this all happening?
Well, on this special day, obviously. But maybe here, we can mention something about ever-present support and love.
Why is this so important? Why are we thanking them?
You want to express your gratitude and your love for them.
How has their impact made a difference in your life?
I think for this, we can add something about the future. For instance, how all their support, guidance, and love has affected you and how it will affect your future.
Okay, those are enough notes to get us started. I'll just run with that for a first draft of our quinceanera speech.
Hmm.. I think a pretty quote would be a nice start. I'll look for one now.. Okay, found one.
Allan Cohen said,
"Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts."
I have plenty to be thankful for, tonight, and I'd like to take the time now to express that now.
-I'm grateful to have everyone here. I'm so happy you could make it. Ten years from now, I'm going to be looking back on this day and remembering how special you have all made me feel, with your presence.
There are a few people here that have made so much of this possible for me. Without my madrinas and padrinos, none of this would have happened. I feel very lucky to have such supportive people in my life. Thank you for all the work you've put into this. Thank you for my gifts.
If you want, you can single out certain madrinas or padrinos and thank them, personally, in public.
My family is also here – primos, primas, tios, and tias. You have no idea how much it means to me that you've made it! Growing up, I've felt honored to have such an amazing, wonderful family who loves me. Thank you for showing up. Not only are you my family, but you are also my closest friends and I'm extremely grateful for that.
It was a challenge to gather up the Court of Honor for my quinceanera. All of you worked so hard at dance practice. And I think we looked good, didn't we? I appreciate all your hard effort and your friendships. Some of us weren't very close in the beginning, but I'm so glad dance practice has brought us closer together.
[Again, you can single people out after thanking your Court - like maybe your best friend(s).]
Mother Teresa said,
"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action."
My parents are the epitome of love in action. I'm sure it hasn't been easy trying to make the best life for me and it especially hasn't been easy putting this night together. Thank you for creating such a wonderful night for me to remember for the rest of my life. I'm honored to have you as my guides in this life and I hope that as a woman, I will become someone who makes you very proud. Thank you, Mom and Dad. I love you.
As I've said, I'm very grateful for all of you – guests, padrinos, madrinas, my family, my Court of Honor, and my parents. I appreciate all of your ever-present love and support. Thank you very much! Enjoy the rest of the party!
From there, you can move onto something else. Get them dancing, make announcements, cut the cake, or whatever else is next on your itinerary.
I hope the above gives you ideas on how to write your quinceanera speech.
If you need any help with your speech, I'd be happy to help you! You can email me at: TuQuinceanera [at] gmail [dot] com. Or you can visit our contact page.

This is a simple inductor and capacitor measurement tool. The part to test is connected to an oscillator circuit, and the frequency of oscillation corresponds to the value of the capacitor – [via]
All I do is use the LM311 square wave output as pulses to a 16bit counter, and another 100mS periodic timer to count how many pulses per 100mS interval, to calculate the oscillation frequency. BTW, the PIC32 is running off a 16MHz crystal. I average the results from 5 consecutive readings, so I have a 0.5second measurement repeat rate. Good enough. It seems to be accurate enough for my needs, which is basically identifying components that I salvage, or coils that I wind myself.

New English Review " />
Nubians: a non-Arab people. They were, it seems, Christian - or some of them still were - as late as the 17th century.
From my Christian sourcebook, Operation World, its discussion of minority groups in Egypt: 'The Nubians of Upper Egypt. For centuries a Christian kingdom, but eventually under pressure [and we know what kind of 'pressure' that would have been- CM] Nubians became Muslim in the 17th century. Today there are only a handful of Christians. Only a minority still speak the two main Nubian dialects, but they are culturally distinct. Many are poor, their ancestral lands flooded as a result of the Aswan dam".

DES MOINES -- A coalition of gun-control advocates made a pitch for tougher gun laws at a Statehouse news conference Monday.
Members of Iowans for Gun Safety, One Million Moms for Gun Control and the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa pushed for universal background checks, reduced magazine capacity, a system to flag people who purchase large amounts of ammunition and an assault weapons ban.
The plea comes a day before President Barack Obama's scheduled State of the Union address, in which he is expected to hit on the topic of gun control. The Iowa group singled out Iowa's Republican congressional delegation Sen. Chuck Grassley and Reps. Steve King and Tom Latham asking them to "put aside partisan politics" and support the control measures.
"Iowans of faith understand the status quo is no longer acceptable," said Connie Ryan Terrell, executive director of the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa. "This is not about gun rights those will remain intact this is about public safety."
The group also singled out two bills introduced in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives as particularly egregious to their cause.
One, a proposed constitutional amendment, says the "right to acquire, keep, possess, transport, carry, transfer and use arms" shall not be infringed or denied.
The other is the so-called "stand your ground" legislation that codifies the right of a gun owner to use deadly force in self-defense or defense of another person.
Both of those bills are in a House Judiciary subcommittee and were last worked on in January.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Chip Baltimore, R-Boone, said he is "slowly and deliberately" looking at "the plethora of gun bills that have come thorough" the committee. He gave no indication if either of the two bills would come out for a full committee vote.
Iowans for Gun Safety coordinator Carlos Jayne said the group hopes for a federal tightening of gun laws as opposed to state-by-state responses "to reduce the amount of gun running" across state borders.
Asked about the state's response, Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday that he supports gun rights and noted his endorsements from the National Rifle Association. He said the state's work on mental health legislation and the work that will come out from this summer's anti-bullying summit should help prevent tragedies like the Sandy Hook Elementary School killings in Newtown, Conn.
"Those are small steps," Jayne said when told of Branstad's response.

The Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival returns to the East End this summer to mark its 31st consecutive season, with this year's series highlighted by the debut of "A Palace Upon the Ruins" by Howard Shore, who composed the score for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
The 12 concerts, which will be hosted by a variety of Bridgehampton venues new and old over a four-week run, features an array of high-profile performances and will debut with a free concert on the grounds of the Bridgehampton Historical Society on Wednesday, July 30.
Mr. Shore is well known for his film scores, particularly that of the "Lord of the Rings," for which he received three Academy Awards. As well as scoring many other motion pictures, he has also written an opera, "The Fly," based on the David Cronenberg's 1986 film of the same name.
Mr. Shore has been commissioned to create a piece of chamber music, with the result being unveiled to the public at the festival. The world premiere of "A Palace Upon the Ruins" will form the heart of the program "Colorful Explorations" on Sunday, August 10, at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Shore has composed "A Palace Upon the Ruins" for mezzo-soprano, flute, cello, piano, harp and percussion. The rising young mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano will be the soloist, singing the accompanying words written by Elizabeth Cotnoir. The piece will be complemented on the night by the work of French composer Gabriel Fauré.
The BCMF, which prides itself on its combination of established and emerging artists, will hear a number of other recent works too. Interwoven with classics from the likes of Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart and Schubert, the schedule features performances of Eric Ewazen's "Bridgehampton Suite," Phillippe Hersant's "Heliades" and Kevin Puts's "Four Airs," among others.
The core of the festival is made up of the "Classic Six" concerts, which are held in the home of the BCMF, the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church. The 19th century building boasts excellent acoustics and superb architecture.
Alternate venues, such as the Bridgehampton Historical Society, Atlantic Golf Club and Channing Sculpture Garden host the other half of the performances. These shows, set outside, offer a unique experience to hear classical music.
Some of these newer contributions will have a new home too, as the festival has entered into a new partnership with the Parrish Art Museum. The museum's new building on Montauk Highway in Water Mill will be the site of a concert by Brooklyn Rider, a young string quartet New York City. Known for its intriguing and unconventional style, the group has won many plaudits for its contribution to contemporary classical music.
On Saturday, August 9, the quartet will perform new work from Gabriel Kahane, Evan Ziporyn and Aoife O'Donovan at two separate shows. First will come a concert at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church at 6:30pm, before it will adjourn to the Parrish Art Museum for a second performance at 9 p.m.
Speaking to this point, Marya Martin, the festival's artistic director, noted, "We are thrilled to grow the festival in partnership with the Parish Art Museum, adding not only a new concert venue, but also providing easy access to a BCMF concert to those in Southampton and Water Mill."
Ms. Martin is also the festival's sole flutist, and will perform in all but two of the 12 concerts. Joining her on the 2014 artist roster are a number of musicians familiar to past festival attendees.
This year violinist Ani Kavafian, having performed at the very first festival in 1984, returns to Bridgehampton, as does pianist Joyce Yang, who makes her return after originally performing at the festival in her early teens. Regular string-players Cynthia Phelps, Carter Brey and Donald Palma are also set to return.
This familiarity is essential to Ms. Martin for the creation of what she describes as "the electricity of good friends making music together."
Festival debutants violinist Anthony Marwood, cellist Antonio Lysy, harpist Bridget Kibbey and percussionist Ian David Rosenbaum complete the mix of more than 40 musicians.
The Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival of 2014 will close on Sunday, August 24, with "A Serenade to the Season" at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church. A reflective collection of music, it will feature Mozart's "Eine Kliene Nachtmusik" and Brahms's "Serenade No.1."
A comprehensive concert schedule, as well as a ticket outlet, can be found at www.bcmf.org. Alternatively, tickets can be purchased by phone at (212) 741-9403 or from the box office at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church at 2429 Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton.

Home Canterbury News Article
A group of Kent church-goers has been forced to deny claims members told people to stop taking vital medication in favour of prayer alone.
The band of Christians, called Canterbury Healing on the Streets (HOTS), is a regular fixture in the High Street.
Members believe they can heal the sick through prayer and say miracles have been performed.
But they have been forced to counteract claims they told people to stop quit prescribed medication.
The movement has also been previously banned from working in Bath by an advertising watchdog, which ruled its members were unable to substantiate their claims.
The group's members have prayed for thousands and claim to have physically cured dozens – all to the bafflement of doctors.
For such an emotive subject, it is perhaps unsurprising they have attracted their fair share of controversy.
But Canterbury co-ordinator Simon Redman distances the group from more contentious "faith-healers" whose practices have been branded dangerous.
The devout Christian, who regularly worships at St Mary Bredin Church and runs the city's Street Pastors project, said he has seen many astonishing examples of God's power to heal.
"We have seen physical pains, swellings and bruises disappear from all parts of the body," he explained.
"Someone returned to tell us their cyst had disappeared and another said a hernia had gone, to the surprise of their respective doctors.
"A lady's hearing returned in one ear. One young man said he had stopped drinking and built a relationship with his children again after prayer.
"We've prayed for several women who have struggled to have children and they have conceived shortly afterwards.
"One man told us his back had just been healed walking across our site and that he didn't believe in this stuff."
Referring to a claim circulating on Facebook that a diabetic had been told to stop taking insulin by a team member, Mr Redman said: "We do not tell people to stop taking their medication unless a doctor confirms they no longer need to.
"Other groups which controversially recommend this are not associated with us. We want people to feel loved and valued, not forced into risky behaviour."
Fellow Canterbury member Aideen Johnston said: "Anyone who's told anyone to stop taking their meds is breaking the rules so to speak - we specifically say not to."
She was referring to training given to members before they take to the streets.
Mr Redman added: "You cannot pray on the HOTS team unless you've undertaken the training.
"We have trained nearly 200 to pray for people wherever they are. We have seen great answers to prayer in airport lounges, supermarkets and on buses."
Mr Redman accepted the group's work is "very emotive" for many people, but said he has never had a negative reaction from those who have not been healed.
He said: "We readily admit that not everyone gets healed when we pray for them but no one leaves without knowing that God loves them.
"We have seen people receive emotional healing of a significant issue even when the physical ailment remained."
Responding to concerns that promises of healing could give the terminally-ill false hope, he added: "I feel sad when people are denied the chance for prayer and I would rather live in a world full of hope, which God offers in the knowledge that we are all equally valued."
Healing on the Streets is a Christian ministry founded by Mark Marx at the Causeway Coast Vineyard Church in Northern Ireland.
It operates in more than 100 cities in the UK and Europe, and involves Christian churches of different denominations.
In Canterbury, it is made up of members from St Mary Bredin Church, Canterbury Baptist Church, Canterbury Vineyard Church, The City Church, New Life Pentecostal Church and St Andrew's United Reformed Church.
The team sets up chairs on the corner of Best Lane every Saturday, gives out cards explaining the ministry and invites people to sit down and receive prayer.
When asked why Canterbury HOTS prays so publicly, co-ordinator Simon Redman responded: "Why not?"
"We want to meet as many people as possible and engage with them if they choose to speak with us," he said.
"In these modern times many people are not familiar with coming into a church and so we come to where people are on a Saturday, the High Street.
"We hope people will see a different image of church when they meet the team."

text: Kimber Lip Tar ($18.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as a "neon orange coral." It's a brightened, coral-orange with a satin-matte finish. I wouldn't say it's neon; it has a muted quality to it, actually. This shade was more satiny compared to the other Lip Tars in the collection, and it takes a little longer (about an hour and a half) for it to become mostly matte. It had rich, opaque color coverage. When I wore it, the color lasted for seven hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. theBalm First Officer (LE) is more matte, slightly less orange. NARS Lodhi (P, $25.00) is a smidgen pinker.

Originally written on RedSoxLife | Last updated 2/6/13
With Spring Training less than a month away, the Red Sox 40 Man Roster should be fairly set until the end of camp. I'll take this opportunity to review the entire roster. Lets face it, there's not much else going on. Let's Hope Hanrahan isn't staring this direction too much in 2013. After Andrew Bailey lost most of 2012 to injury, and then was awful when he did return, adding a closer with a more recent track record of success and durability makes sense. That the Red Sox only gave up Mark Melancon and some negligible prospects makes the deal a slam dunk. Technically they gave up three years of Melancon, for only one of Hanrahan. In the process they are also taking on more salary in 2013. After the Megadeal, payroll was the only thing the 2013 Red Sox had in excess. Melancon could very well go back to the NL Central and put up similar numbers that he did with the Astros in 2011 as their closer. Hanrahan does have the better arm and better stuff, which should play bette...

Narrow your search
According to a survey, Americans say their biggest concern with online infiltrators is that their financial info will be spied on. Some even admit they're worried about privacy while browsing porn.
We compiled a list of the top 100 sites across the Web, and checked to see if the Heartbleed bug was patched.
A Florida sports writer reportedly manages to mix up his links and tweets one to a mundane porn site page, instead of to an exciting post about minor league football.

Ticonderoga The "Best Fourth in the North" was a rousing success, according to organizers, thanks to the support of community sponsors.
The four-day July 4th celebration attracted hundreds of people to downtown Ticonderoga for a carnival, parade, concerts, bed race, road race, fireworks and more. It was planned by the "Best Fourth in the North" committee, a subcommittee of the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership.
"On behalf of the 'Best Fourth In The North' committee we would like to thank all of the sponsors and donors for the 2012 celebration," said Debbie Barber, committee chairwoman. "Without your dedication and support the celebration would not be possible. We appreciate the community's support of the celebration."
"As a newcomer to the 'Best Fourth' committee, I am amazed at how much a small group of dedicated volunteers has been able to accomplish," said John Bartlett, chairman of the TMSP. "For example, the expanded fireworks display has been amazing."
The price tag for the annual celebration is about $30,000, which includes the parade, bands for the parade, entertainment, carnival and vendors in Bicentennial Park as well as the fireworks display. The town of Ticonderoga does provide support for the celebration, but the majority of the funding is raised by the "Best Fourth in the North" committee.
All donations made to the "Best Fourth in the North" celebration are tax deductible because the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization.
Besides donations, the organizing committee is seeking volunteers for the 2013 festivities. This year about a half dozen people planned and put on the event.
"We encourage you to support the Fourth of July celebration by attending fundraisers held throughout the year, by making a donation or by volunteering some of your time to help," Bartlett said. "We hope to make the 'Best Fourth in the North' even bigger and better next year and, with your help and support, we will make this a reality."

Bell's injury can be NDSU's gain
October 22, 2013 in The Dickinson Press
FARGO It was about a year ago when Indiana State was celebrating a victory in the northwest corner of the Fargodome, the result of the only defeat North Dakota State's football team would suffer all season. That moment probably seems like 10 years ago these days. Continue Reading

The Filamu International Student Festival recently rewarded students involved in the film industry with various awards at Laico Regency, Nairobi.
Daystar's University's Anne Marie Kubasu was all smiles as she received the best lead actress award while KIMC's Brenda Milimu won the best documentary trophy. Kenya Film Commission CEO Peter Mutie pledged support for the festival and urged all film students to get involved in its activities.
"We want Filamu to grow to a formidable festival," he said. He challenged all stakeholders in the Kenyan film industry to provide quality films that would compete on the international scene.
Eston Munyi, an executive member of the Kenya National Film Association, echoed his words stressing the need to step up direction, scripting and lighting of Kenya film work. The film industry in Kenya has been fronted as one of the avenues for job creation. The organisation's chairperson Ann Mungai acknowledged efforts to make the film industry a destination for young people in search of jobs.
Mutie urged experienced filmmakers to add value to the Kenyan film industry. In attendance were Kenya Film professionals, Television Association chairman Victor Muniafu and Ministry of Information's Victoria Goro.

Get Your Own Google Browser Size Tool Alternative In Under 5 Minutes
Google's Browser Size [1] tool is a cool online utility which can show you for any page what percentage of visitors can see what part of the page without having to scroll.
And it's going away, [2] replaced with a site-specific view built into Google Analytics. The drawback is that you can't quickly checkout a site unless you can "quickly" add it to your own analytics account.
So, we came up with the next best thing: your own browser size tool.
Step 1: Grab The Overlay Image
You can do that here or, if that image is ever removed, here.
For Chrome users: upload the image somewhere. Make it accessible online.
Firefox users can move on to the next step.
2: add this browser extension
Chrome users install the WebDeveloper Image Overlay Extension.
Firefox users install the Pixel Perfect add-on (requires you also install the Firebug add-on).
Step 2: Point Extension to Image
WebDeveloper Image Overlay:
Navigate to our uploaded image's URL. Then click the extension's toolbar button. Click Add Image and select the browser size overlay.
Pixel Perfect:
Click the extension's button in the browser's status bar (bottom of the browser).
Click Add Overlay.
Browse to your saved overlay image and select it.
Step 3: Using Your BrowserSize Tool
- Browse to the page you want to analyze
- Click the extension's toolbar button
- Select the browser size overlay image
- Browse to the page you want to analyze
- Click the Firebug icon
- If not already selected, select the Pixel Perfect panel in the Firebug console
- Pick the browsersize tool image (you can now minimize the Firebug console)
To Remember
- The overlay shows the inside of people's browser; the actual window on your content. It's not about screen resolution or browser size: it's about the viewport of the browser -- that what is really visible.
- Google's original tool and this alternative to the browser size tool work best with websites that have a fixed position hugging the left side of the browser. Many sites don't: they live in the center of the browser. Just make your browser smaller until both sides hug the edges of the page.

The only downside of using this method, is that you can't see the current situation. The data used on that image is from 2009. We are 2012 now, with lots of different screen sizes since then (tablets, smartphones, huge screens). A lot has changed in 3 years and will continue to change. The iPad didn't even exist in 2009…
