All right, so two weeks ago we got a new mattress delivered. Both Hubby and I were complaining of bad backs of a morning and the mattress we had was at least 150 years old. Well maybe not 150 years, but well over 15 years old. and lets just say the springs had sprung.
We put the new mattress on the frame we have, and wowzers, and it is twice the size of the old mattress. I feel like a little kid climbing climbing up into a big bed. I actually caught my toe (twice) climbing back into bed during the night (half asleep), because I hadn't lifted my leg up high enough to clear the mattress. But it is sooooooo cumfy and we are both sleeping so well.
I have also ordered some new blinds for our windows, they will be installed next week (Yay). They are nothing fancy, but at least we will be able to open them and let in some sunlight. The current bamboo blinds, dont retract up the wall and the string is frayed. They were elcheapos, and didn't really block out the light first thing in the morning (our bedroom is Easterly facing, so catches the very first rays of light).
I now wanted to make my bedroom more of a haven rather than just a place to sleep. The bedroom setting we picked out 10 years ago (when I didn't know any better). It was purchased with our wedding money so hubby wouldn't be keen for me to swap out pieces, or paint, or other DIY to the bedroom furniture. So, the easiest thing was to improve my accessories (for now). I started with some twine, bottles and hot glue and combined the three together to get ...
I love the look of the bottle. The dresser display...mmm... not so much.
So I glued some twine to polystyrene balls and more bottles. Cleared the counter of everything that I didn't like (turns out it was just the bottle left) and rebuilt the accessories with items I had floating around the house.
I love the top if the dresser now. And it cost me $2 for the two balls of twine. My first accessorising, I think it was a success, even if I do say so myself.

There is no lock-up period, so you can withdraw your funds if a liquidity need arises. No margin debt is used.

We will also give candid assessments of returns and, just as important, how our portfolio companies developed relative to what we anticipated prior to purchase. We will clearly explain our results by giving reasons, not excuses.

National Opinions
Clarence Page: Clinton signals willingness to regulate guns by executive action
By Clarence Page
Tribune Content Agency
After a gunman killed nine people at an Oregon community college last week, Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed a new attitude on gun control. She sounds a lot like President Barack Obama's new attitude on immigration: If Congress doesn't act, she says, she will.
"This epidemic of gun violence knows no boundaries," the Democratic presidential candidate said, "knows no limits of any kind."
Her voice seemed to choke back tears as she introduced the mother of a six-year-old boy killed in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting three years ago.
With that she showed both the urgency and the futility of today's national gun debate. If the slaughter of 20 schoolchildren and six adults by one deranged gunman failed to move this Congress to pass such common-sense gun safety measures as universal background checks, can anything?
Since Newtown, today's Congress has only become more conservative as Republicans and, it often seems, the National Rifle Association have gained control of both houses.
With that in mind, Clinton made it apparent through her top aides that if Congress doesn't act, she's willing to take the executive action route that President Obama has taken with immigration and other issues. If Republicans want to challenge her in court, she reasons, let 'em.
Her position not only puts her out in front of an issue with high appeal for Democratic and moderate swing voters; it also puts her to the left of someone who usually is on her left: Sen. Bernie Sanders, the self-identified "democratic socialist" from Vermont.
Coming from a liberal but rural state where hunting is very popular, Sanders has opposed many of the gun restrictions that Clinton and other Democrats tend to support. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, another Clinton challenger, has an even longer list of gun safety proposals than she does.
But as frontrunner in polls, it is Clinton's agenda that is grabbing so much attention that some supporters are asking Obama to act on it now without waiting for the next president.
Besides expanding the federal background check system, Clinton would crack down on gun sales that take place at gun shows and through the Internet, which allow buyers to dodge background checks.
She would also close the "Charleston loophole" that allows gun sales to go through if a background check is not completed within three days. It received its nickname after it allowed the mass killer behind this year's massacre in a Charleston, S.C., church to obtain his weapon.
Clinton would also try to repeal the gun industry's congressionally mandated immunity from tort law, an exquisite example of the NRA's clout. She also seeks more funding to inspect gun dealers. She wants a federal law barring domestic abusers and stalkers from firearms purchases, and she would revive the so-called "assault weapons" ban on military-style semi-automatic rifles.
Of course, critics of her proposal will argue that none of them would have stopped the young man who perpetrated the Oregon killings. Neither he nor his relatives, who authorities say purchased the killer's guns, have criminal or mental health records that would have blocked the purchases.
But as a sensible reform, background checks are the least intrusive, considering the potential benefits -- including prevention of suicides, which have outnumbered homicides by almost two-to-one among deaths by gun violence.
Still, Democrats can expect a fight, no matter what they propose. After more than a dozen mass shootings since his election, President Obama sounded both outraged and weary a day after the Oregon shootings. To those who lament how "routine" mass shootings have become, he said, "What's become routine, of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of commonsense gun legislation."
Even if he can't get legislation passed as his final months in office approach, he at least is going to talk relentlessly about the issue and push for "commonsense" laws, he said, such as expanded background checks — which polls show are supported by most gun owners, although not by the NRA.
Executive action to work around congressional opposition is a far-from-ideal way to govern. But it unfortunately has become Washington's way of doing business as a GOP majority is willing to shut down the government to prevent a liberal president from getting his way — or, someday, hers.

Here's something to make up for the missing bands on CD86. "You crushed my bones, but I've got thousands." That's a line from one of my favourite 1000 Violins songs, namely "If Only Words". That's not the song I'm giving you today though. This is one I've fallen for more recently, as I just got hold of a copy of Like One Thousand Violins (thanks to Jimmy Tassos!), the singles compilation Vinyl Japan put out in 2000. This is as good an example as any of their quirky song titles, which are sometimes brilliant, but sometimes just TOO long. "Let Me Charm the Pants Off Your World" is probably the best! "If I Were a Bullet..." was from their fourth (or third, or fifth - hard to find information on these matters!) single, released by Report in 1987, and it is one of the most gloriously jangly songs of the decade. 1000 Violins could have been really big you know, if they'd only stayed together longer. They deserve being as big as The Stone Roses, at least! Well, there's a lot to say about this band but it's all in the music, so if you look up their records you can find out on your own. Good luck!

Hello! hello my darlings! How are you all? Spring is finally here! It's my favourite time of the year. And today I have brought to you a review which will instantly bring the spring of youth to all the mature skinned readers! Presenting The Mizon Original Skin Energy Collagen 100 serum! Mizon is a very well known brand of Korea and they make great dupes of high end western brands like NOID. Mizon is also famous for their snail products.
I was a newbie in the kbeauty universe when I ordered this serum. I saw the ubiquitous Etude House moistfull collagen series on every web store and read about the magical skin-plumping capabilities of collagen. Somehow the nerd in me wasn't satisfied with Etude House's simple and non sciencey formula. I wanted something more- solid scientific formulation with greater sophistication. Curiously enough this ampoule serum seems to be priced impossibly high on some web stores but when I saw it for a fraction of that kind of price on beautynetkorea.com , no one could stop me from ordering it. I mean come on, you too would lose your nuts if you saw a product priced at 10$ instead of 32$! Plus it has 90% collagen as its primary ingredient. I was veryyyy excited to try it.
Price: 9.35$ on beautynetkorea
Ingredients: please refer to Cosdna analysis for full list of ingredients.
Packaging: Comes in a purple thickened glass container with dropper. I used to have a great deal of love for this packaging until my mom reached about 30% of the product. Now no more cosmetically elegant style of application but more like pouring out coconut oil from plastic bottle. The bottle is travel friendly, small and sturdy- I have dropped it a number of times if you must know. I am sooo sorry that I can't show you guys the outer packaging. One my dogs destroyed it.
My thoughts: I loved the serum. It gets absorbed in a second literally. As it's not very moisturizing, I used it in combination with my absolute holy grail serum- innisfree green tea seed serum. I thought it was working for me- the self delusion that we get from using high-priced stuff which doesn't work for us. We keep thinking ," It's working! OMG I am glowing!" And other nonsensical shit. My delusion vanished when I saw that my skin did not show any change when I forgot to take it for my 5- day trip. It was still glowing and happy without it. I was like " why am I even using this unnecessary serum?" And stopped using it.
Now comes the 2nd installment of the review. My maa started using it after I successfully converted her to kbeauty. Maa has great skin- the skin of angels if you please! But even this angel was showing signs of aging. Not to mention her endless jaunts to and from my grand father's residence in blistering heatwave and total lack of skincare regime. As a result, maa's skin had turned dull and lacked vitality- it looked lifeless. So, I forced her to use this ampoule serum as it has 90% collagen which is supposed to help ageing skin. She reluctantly started using it in miniscule amounts lest the "phoren" stuff gets over quickly. As expected nothing happened. Her dull complexion started getting duller by the day. One day I got fed up with her and took the serum and liberally applied it on her face. Next day the skin of the angels was coming back to its glory! Even my skincare and makeup ignorant maa remarked, " My skin is looking good!" Now my sis and I live in the shadows of her glowing skin cursing our bad skin. Clearly, this serum is for mature and ageing skin. It will do nothing for young and dehydrated skin like mine.God knows why I bought it for myself in the first place as I am only 26! Please don't believe beauty industry's '25 years is old' propaganda! It depends on your skin type not on some beauty guru's statement. As for the serum, my Maa loves it and I love seeing her glow. I will keep purchasing it for her.
Rating: 5/5

The idea of Jenga is that you stack up these little sticks of wood and, taking turns, pull out the pieces one at a time in the hope that you won't collapse the entire tower. If you're very careful (and haven't had more than one pint), it is possible to strip down the tower to the bare minimum of pieces that are required to keep it upright. But pick one of the essential load-bearing pieces and the whole thing comes crashing down on top of everyone's drinks.
And, in a way, evolution is playing Jenga with our genes.
|Jenga - image from Wikipedia Commons
You'd think that, after millions of years, our genomes would be stripped-down, streamlined collections of only the DNA we require to be us; nothing more, nothing less. This hypothesis is backed up by the fact that almost all the genes in eukaryotic genomes are conserved—this means that they are found across many species and have persisted in the population for far longer than you'd expect if they weren't absolutely necessary for survival. The loss of non-essential genes can actually be seen in many parasitic species. The leprosy bacterium, for example, is a much reduced version of the microbe which causes tuberculosis. It has lost around half of its genes because it doesn't need them anymore.
But here's the problem: scientists have known for ages that it is possible to delete many of the genes found in eukaryotic organisms with no noticeable effect. So a group at the University of Toronto decided to address the question of whether the C. elegans worm really needs all its genes, and their work was recently published in Cell.
|C. elegans - Image is from Wikipedia Commons.
The scientists mixed those worms in which a gene had been knocked-down with the original worms. If the gene being tested proves to be vital, the knocked-down worms will be lost over successive generations due to competition with the original, fitter worms. And, fitting with the idea that we (and by 'we' I am referring to all eukaryotes including worms; some people are more worm-like than others, though) only have the genes we need to survive, nearly all the genes in C. elegans were found to impact fitness when knocked down.
This is not what was suggested from all the experiments in which it was found that single genes could be deleted without any obvious effect on the organism. The explanation is probably that different genes play a role under different conditions. This would mean that it might be possible for one gene to be deleted in the laboratory but, were the mutant to be let out into the big wide world, with all its various stresses and challenges, it would be seriously impaired in its survival.
Interestingly, many more genes are found to be essential when this method is used in C. elegans than are identified by similar experiments in yeast. The authors of this paper suggest that this is down to selective pressures being very different for single and multi-cellular organisms. Whereas something like yeast only has to deal with one environmental condition at one time, a multi-cellular organism is forced to juggle the needs of lots of different cell types which are all under different pressures of their own. A multi-cellular creature is far more complex than a unicellular organism and the genes required are therefore more finely tuned. A little like playing Jenga on not just a tower but an entire city and…OK, the analogy is collapsing all around me so I am going to give up and have a drink instead.

May 23, 2007 - Ekahau Inc., a provider of Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) and Wi-Fi planning tools, today announced a worldwide reseller agreement with Siemens Communications Inc., aiming to enable Siemens' customers to cost-effectively deploy integrated location-based mobile business solutions from a single vendor.
The Ekahau RTLS solution, which includes the server engine, battery-powered Wi-Fi tags and application software, reportedly provides enterprise-grade performance over an existing Wi-Fi network. The Ekahau Positioning Engine (EPE) server was designed to track the real-time location of more than 10,000 objects on a single server and calculate up to 600 locations per second.
As a part of the announced partnership, Siemens HiPath Wireless Manager HiGuard has been integrated with Ekahau's ESS Version 2.2. This combination is said to enable a customer's site survey data to be directly imported from the ESS into HiGuard. As a result, Siemens' network designers can reportedly reduce the number of site surveys and decrease the cost and time of Wi-Fi infrastructure deployment. Previously, separate site surveys were required for deploying Wi-Fi access points, wireless IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) sensors RFID tags.

C ocoa bean is the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of the Theobroma from which cocoa solids and cocoa butter are extracted. They are the basis of chocolate. The fermented beans are dried by spreading them out over a large surface and constantly raking them. In large plantations this is done in huge trays under the sun. It is believed that the improved blood flow after consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa may help to achieve health benefits in the heart and other organs.
The quality of the Dominican cocoa is one of the worlds highest and the country`s average annual production is more than 50.000 tons.

One of the most fulfilling things in my life right now is being a foster mom to surrendered Bengal cats through Great Lakes Bengal Rescue. Through this organization I have managed to place 3 very wonderful kitties and adopt two of my own. I first knew I wanted to volunteer with rescue work after I had to put down my beautiful kitty Izzy. Izzy wandered into our lives after one Christmas about 3 years ago. It took me about a week to get him to come out from under our little deck so that I could take him to a vet. I knew he was sick, but he didn't trust me enough to actually come out. It was so cold and snowy, yet I sat on the deck with the kennel with tuna in the back waiting for him to come out and take the tuna. He did eventually venture into the kennel and I frantically looked for a vet willing to see him right away. The poor little guy was near death. Finally, I managed to find a vet and upon checking him over the prognosis was not good. Izzy stayed the night and I picked him up the next day. The vet said he's a fighter, he'd managed to survive the night. For the next 7 days I nursed Izzy back to health. Laying with him and coaxing him to eat. He started to gain weight and become active and reach good health again. Suddenly one night, Izzy started to have an attack and couldn't breathe. We rushed him to the emergency animal hospital and found out that Izzy had a very severe case of asthma caused from pneumonia he'd had while being on his own. Izzy blessed our lives for 9 wonderful months.
Izzy at the day at the vets when I first caught him.

Now we have Rajhi our first Bengal kitty we adopted through Great Lakes Bengal Rescue. He's just a little over a year old and full of life. He can jump as high as 5 feet from the ground. He's also known to do flips in the air trying to catch a feather.
|Rajhi the Baby
Our latest adoptee is Lola. She is the sweetest cat in the world and absolutely adores my daughter. If you are looking for Lola, just find Lexi and you'll find Lola.

If anyone's visited the blog in the past month you may have noticed the theme of Movember and those who've had the pleasantries of meeting me in person you've likely seen the glorious failure attempt to grow a moustache for the month. As it's the last day I'd like to give a last shout to those who would like to offer a few pennies in aid of this great annual charity. I've also mentioned in a few posts over the past week, if I can raise more than £100 before the end of November, I'll keep the tasche until Christmas despite it's unnatural position on my face and unpleasant moments with food, or the girlfriend.
If you can, please donate here: http://uk.movember.com/mospace/4103165
Just look at that glorious smug face.

Thousands of people lined the streets of Windor to watch Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh on a walkabout as part of HRH's 90th birthday celebrations today.
Britain's longest-reigning monarch and her life-long partner walked for part of the journey, before being driven past the crowds who came out en force to mark the day.
Well-wishers reportedly sang Happy Birthday as the queen passed them, with some offering cards, flowers and a slice of cake.
But it was left to Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain to present the Queen with her official birthday cake - an orange drizzle sponge.
At Tower Bridge, the day was marked with a 62-gun salute - one of many to mark the occasion.
The walkabout comes ahead of this evening's festivities, which will see the Queen light the first of more than 1,000 beacons across the country.

Author: Income Gap Played a Role in Election
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Chuck Collins used to be a "1-percenter," but now he's dedicated his life to fighting wealth inequality in the United States.
In his new book, "Born on Third Base," Collins tells his story of being born into a wealthy family and eventually choosing to give away his inheritance. He argued that income inequality is bad for society - and even the rich - because it undermines the economy and democracy, and cited common ground between the rich and poor who are fighting for solutions.
"It's understandable that people feel angry about how very wealthy people, a segment of wealthy people, have rigged the rules and created these inequalities," he said, "but there are actually a lot of potential allies there. The '1 percent' is not monolithic."
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city of Baltimore has the highest level of income inequality in Maryland, followed closely by Talbot and Worcester counties on the Eastern Shore. Calvert County has the most evenly distributed income of any county in the state.
Collins said inequality was a driver in the presidential election as well.
"In a way, I think this was the inequality election," he said. "When you have an extremely unequal society, you have a polarized politics."
He said candidates such as Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump represented populist resentments of the lack of a level playing field, economically.

It was well known that Princess Eugenie's wedding was going to be a star-studded affair.
And while the ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor was attended by the likes of Demi Moore, Liv Tyler, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell, there were two famous faces noticeably absent.
George and Amal Clooney were tipped to be among the Hollywood royalty to attend the wedding between Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, especially given they were both there for Prince Harry and Meghan's nuptials in May.
But neither Amal or George were in attendance on Friday.
Amal as it turns out was unable to attend the wedding as she was giving a keynote speech at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women.
Tennis star and super mum Serena Williams was another of the keynote speakers alongside Amal.
It's unknown why George didn't attend the wedding. It is believed he is being kept busy by some new projects. Or perhaps he simply didn't want to go without his glamorous wife.
The actor and groom actually know each other through Casamigos, George's tequila company, which he co-founded with Rande Gerber. Jack is the company's European brand manager, and it's believed he remains friends with George.
But while they weren't there in person, the Clooneys were certainly there in spirit. Get it?!
Jack had previously revealed he would still be serving the tequila at the royal wedding.
"I'm in charge of drinks, and we'll be serving Casamigos," he told the Daily Mail.
And a spokesperson from the tequila brand confirmed to INSIDER that a selection of bespoke Casamigos cocktails would be served to guests throughout the wedding weekend.

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
4:00 pm 5 September 2013
Fun Home is a memoir, told in a snarky yet guilt-ridden style, and memoirs necessarily are self-indulgent exercises without balance. Alison Bechdel grew up within the family business, a funeral home housed within a Gothic Revival mansion in rural Pennsylvania. Bruce, her father, runs the funeral parlor on the side while teaching high school English. Bruce is also a deeply closeted man and his lesbian daughter seems to have never doubted her sexuality. The story itself is overlaid with motifs from Greek mythology and literature. Fun Home re-visits events over and over through these two lenses after revealing previously undisclosed facts.
Restoring the house itself is an obsession for Bruce, applying a veneer of urbanity to a structure that houses his wife and children, an additional masquerade. Early on in her narrative, Bechdel describes her father as "an alchemist, a savant of surface, a Daedalus of décor" because the perfection of the house is a façade, hiding the unhappy family within as well as "my father's more fully developed self-loathing." This camouflages Bruce's other passion, young men, even boys. Bruce ruthlessly enforces his vision of the house with no concern for the opinions of the rest of the family. Helen, her mother, is also an English teacher as well as a community theatre actress. When Helen is shown, she is usually sarcastic or disinterested; she endures her marriage through her acting and piano playing.
In addition to wanting the perfect house, Bruce wants the perfect daughter, femme and flawlessly coiffed. Alison wants to emulate a manlier man than her father; she calls them "inverts" of each other. Bruce Bechdel dies after being hit by a Sunbeam Bread truck. Alison Bechdel sneaks images of Little Miss Sunbeam throughout the novel, haunting the background with her perfect curls and hair ribbons. Bruce, so concerned with image and appearances is chronicled by his daughter, a cartoonist with stark imagery in an effort to assuage the guilt she feels for 'causing' his suicide.
I liked Fun Home, it's the first original (not adapted from something else) graphic novel I've read, but I certainly wouldn't have read or bought it if it weren't required for class. The art and words are well-crafted but sometimes, seem too polished for the subject.

is the Season Finally or so you call it. It pretty much
ends the season with Edward. But he will always be remembered
as a valuble member upon the great Sinister Six. Now
on with the tale... NOTE: This story continues after
The Sinister Six and X-Force Crossover. Remember to
read that first before reading this story.
It has been nearly 3 weeks since the Crossover with
the X-Force)
(At Sinister Five headquarters the quintet get ready
for Edwards Funeral)
Its sad
usually Eddie starts off every story. (sniff)
Scott: And now you get to start off the stories now Jason
Its not fair, but I miss Edward.
Tim: We all do, so lets go to the funeral. Ill go check
on IRA and Gary. You two put on your normal outfits.
Itll be best that we dont wear our armor this time.
(In the living room Gary and IRA tiredly switch through
Gary: Cossacks Creations is on.
I wonder what this does.
(Dust Man explodes)
Kirk: You killed Dustman! You bast..
(IRA switches the channel)
IRA: Already Seen it. Lets watch the X-Force.
(pulls out his stun gun)
Anton: Hey! NO! I WAS ONLY KIDDING!! (gets zapped) AAACK!!
(Gary turns off the TV)
Gary: Its just not as funny anymore.
Tim: Yep..nothing is funny without Edward.
(Soon the five get ready and head out the door out of
their armor)
(Inside The Six
now Five mobile)
Gary: I dont think any of our viewers have seen us without
our armor before.
Jason: Well they get a first look.
IRA: Hey Tim, you mind slowing down a little
my stomach
is a little itchy.
Scott: Probably from drinking all that beer earlier.
IRA: Who asked you!!
Scott: Well, thats why you are feeling sick.
IRA: One Fire Storm Scott! Thats all it takes to...
Tim: BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP OR ILL LET GARY DRIVE!!
and Scott: (silence)
Jason: We all are a little edgy, but we will live on.
Gary: (nods)
(Nothing much was said as they approach the Funeral
(MD awaits them as they pull up to the church house)
Ben: Hey guys, glad you made it. Everyone else has already
Tim: Thanks for waiting up for us.
Ben: Anytime. After witnessing the entire thing, I kinda
feel I owe it to you guys to show up.
Gary: Okay
what do you want in return..
Ben: (playing innocent) Um
(Soon the bunch head into the main lobby where suprisingly
Super Chaos, Bass, and City Garage awaited them)
Tim: YOU!!! SINISTER SIX REUN
Chaos: We arent here to cause any trouble. We came
to the funeral.
Six: (blank expressions on their faces)
Garage: After all, it was the living weapon that
killed him. Not us.
Chaos: (with a tear In his eye) I am your enemy
yes, but I will never actually (kill) you guys. Maybe
hurt you, or drop an anvil on your head, or run you
over with a steamroller, or...
Bass: Enough!! I think they know what you mean.
Six: (Still with blank expressions on their faces)
Jason: Yeah, damned machine had a black heart.
Ben: Ill vow that I destroy it.
(Later the Ceremony started and all bodies took their
seats as Tim got up on the stage)
Tim: As leader of the Sinister Six, I have to say that..
(a body comes tumbling in)
Andon: Sorry all, Im late. Ill take my seat now.
Tim: Anyways. Edward was a valued member of our team. A person
that cannot be replaced.
(Everyone in the building started to tear up)
Tim: A true friend an all out forever partner in battle.
I will truly miss him
(starts to break up in tears).
*sniff* lets have some words about him. (sniff).
Does anyone have anything to say..(sniff)
IRA: I miss they way he would beat me at getting a girl friend.
Gary: (teared up) I miss the way he can cream me at basketball.
(lets it all out)
Scott: I missed the way that he always made fun of my cooking.
(baws out)
Jason: I missed how he would shock Iceman when he made
a corny joke. (cries)
Gary: Well you always teased him with your blades, on how
that was his weakness. (cries)
Scott: If you wouldnt stop putting fake dead rats in his bed,
he wouldnt be so darn angry in the mornings Gary!!
IRA: You always put bombs in his cupcakes Scott!! How do
you think he felt falling for the same trick over and
over again! (cries)
Jason: If you would stop trying to pop his basketballs and
stealing his girlfriends, maybe he would of liked us
Ben: Yeah! (in tears)
(The four look at Ben)
Jason: You kept on coming over and throwing stuff at him. (cries)
Scott: Yeah! He was scared of you every time you came over
Ben: Ohhhh
Be Quiet. (cries more) (The Four point at each
other and say the same line)
Gary, Scott, Jason: ITS YOUR FAULT HES DEAD!!!
(Soon the entire funeral house was in tears)
Tim: Guys! (sniff). Its no ones fault that hes dead. It
just happened.
Ben: Yeah! Stop (sniff) blaming yourselves. Eddie wouldnt
have wanted that.
Andon: (looks at the poor souls) Poor guys...
(Even Super Chaos, Bass, and City Garage where crying
their hearts out)
Bass: If you had stopped picking on them, this would have
never happened!! (cries)
Garage: ME! Ive only starred in one fricken Epilogue!!
Yellow Butt over there was the one picking on them!!
Chaos: (cries so hard he cant talk)
Garage: See!! Hes speechless (cries)
(It was a sad day at the funeral, but in a couple of
hours it was all over and the Five went back to Headquarters)
Jason: Well, that sure made me feel better. Usually going to
a funeral and coming back lets you put all the bad times
behind you and you face the world knowing that your
friend has moved on to a greater place.
Tim: Indeed. If you four idiots would of stopped blaming
yourselves back there it may have worked just fine.
Gary: Oh yeah! Well, you were always crapping to Edward that
you always were the better leader.
Tim: Yes, and I hate myself for it. Now lets move on!!
Jason: So what are we going to call ourselves now. Theres
only five of us. And Sinister Five doesnt sound too
Gary: Why not Garys Quintet?
IRA: Shut up!! Youre not the leader.
Gary: Okay...Tims Quintet?
Tim: Too childish.
Jason: The Big Vive?
Tim: Not bad, but to short.
Scott: The Fantastic Five?
Tim: Already been done with the Fantastic Four.
Scott: Well we did steal Sinister Six from Marv...
Tim: BE QUIET!! WE DIDN'T STEAL NOTHING!
Scott: (silence)
Gary: The Backstreet Boys?
(Everyone looks at Gary and pull out stun guns)
Gary: Wait a minute!!! Where did you get
(gets shot) ACK!!!
IRA: The Fabulous Five?
Tim: Hmmm... Not bad.
(Soon the TV news Broadcast turns on automatically)
Jason: You had to import the automatic news reports didnt
ya Tim?
NewsWoman: A deadly force has taken to the Nuclear Power Plant.
Seems to be draining all the energy in the entire city.
Tim: I dont feel like going
(The others turn to Tim in disbelief)
Gary: WHAT!!!??
Jason: You not wanting to be a hero?
Tim: Let the Cossacks Creations or Mechanical Maniacs stop
IRA: I dont believe it!!
Scott: (is speechless)
Jason: We cant give up being a hero cause Eddie is gone.
Tim: Yes, but how many more of us will perish? I cant survive
if another one of you was to die. I just cant live
with it! Im responsible for you guys! I was responsible
for Eddies Death!! (Tim put his head in his arms)
Jason: (puts his hand on Tims shoulder) Being a hero has its
flaws Tim. You told me that.
Gary: (puts his finger up ready to do a joke, but decides
now is not the time)
Gary: This Epilogue will hit 0 on the funny-o-meter.
(The Five then turn their attention to the broadcast)
NewsWoman: This Green thing is unstoppable!! (shows a picture of
the living weapon
that killed Edward)
(Leaps up from his seat) YOU!!! I VOW REVENGE!!! KILL!!!
(Tim does an awesome transformation and in mere seconds
he is Gutsman)
Jason: Now, thats what Im talking about! Cutman Transform!
Gary: Ice Man Transform!!
IRA: Well revenge your death Edward! Fire Man Transform!
Scott: Bomb Man! Transform!!
(In seconds the rest of the Five were battle armor ready
and they flew out the door like theres no tomorrow)
Gary: I didnt know we could fly.
Tim: Its a secret Ive been meaning to tell you all.
Jason: THIS WOULD OF CAME IN HANDY IN THE PAST YOU KNOW!!!
Tim: Ah...shut it.
(at the Power Plant)
Weapon: Puny mortals. You cant fight worth trash! (uses telepathy
to crush tanks and destroy Jets)
(Soon the Five Arrive at the scene)
Weapon: At last you puny robots decide to show up.
Tim: YOU WILL DIE MURDERER!! PERISH! VAMOSH!!
Gary: (whispering to Jason) Dont wanna piss Gutsy off.
Jason: No kidding. He lifted the entire Empire State Building
and threw it at Super Chaos when he said Tim looked
like a big banana.
Gary: Wow.
Weapon: My name is Scorpion Roach, and youll remember this
name when I send you to the grave with your friend.
Tim: LETS GO!! (runs up to punch the beast but gets stopped
dead in his tracks)
Scorpion: (evil laugh) Watch this magic trick. (Throws Tim out
of the Plant)
Four: TIM!!
Scorpion: Who is next to defy me?
(The Four enter the battle and hopelessly get thrown
about by Scorpions telekenetic powers) (One by one
each member gets badly injured)
Jason: This is impossible.
Scott: I cant get near him!
(The Fire runs around Scorpion like he had some sort
of force field around him)
Scorpion (yawns and throws IRA out of the plant using his mind)
Tim: IM NOT GIVING UP!!! (runs towards Scorpion using all
his strength)
You'd think you'd learn the first time you tried that
stunt. (uses his power to stop Tim, but its not enough
this time)
Tim: (slowly breaks through Scorpion's hold)
Scott: Woah! Look at that!!
Jason: Go Tim!!
Tim: (continues to fight the telepathic current)
Scorpion: (strengthens his hold on Tim) Impossible! Nothing is
able to resist my power!!
Tim: Must...revenge...Edward!! (gets closer to Scorpion)
Scorpion: Grrrrrr.. (sweats hard as he continues his assault on
(Finally Tim gets close enough to Scorpion and grabs
him by the neck)
Scorpion: How!!??
Tim: This is for Edward!!!
(Tim punches a hole through Scorpions stomach)
Tim: And this is for the rest of us!!!
(Tim Punches Scorpions head clean off)
(Scorpions body falls to the floor)
Gary: (whispers to Jason) I told ya never to make Tim mad.
(Tim looks down at the battered body and looks at his
Tim: Man
I did it. (smiles)
(But victory only lasted seconds as Tim felt a force
stronger than ever grab him and throw him to the back
(IRA comes back into the plant)
Gary, and Jason: TIM!!!
(Scorpion gets to his feet)
Scorpion: Uggg...that hurt!! But now you are going to hurt!
(The four run up to Scorpion but get stopped dead in
their tracks)
Scorpion: Once I finish big boy over there, you too will get your
turn to fight me.
(Scorpion swings his tail, which is now injected with
lethal poison) (The stuff that killed Edward)
Jason: (struggles to get free) NOOO!!
Gary: STOP!!
Scott: (covers his eyes in horror)
Tim: (covers his eyes as well)
(As Scorpion prepares to swipe at Tim a slash comes
from the rafters and Scorpion's tail falls to the ground)
Scorpion: WHAT? (Looks back) (A figure flys from the rafters and
smashes right through Scorpions Body)
(Scorpion looses his grip upon the Five and they all
fall to the ground)
Andon: Enough!! Time to finish you and your evil deeds!!
Scorpion: Blasted! Im too weak to fight! Until next time you
(Scorpion retreats)
(The Five regain themselves and look at their hero)
Tim: Andon...Im so grateful. Thanks you so much. You saved
my life.
Andon: I gave him all my power, and he still lives, he is one
tough weapon. I best be going now.
Gary: Wait!! Dont go!
(Andon stops)
Gary: Will you join us...(Gary Faints)
(The five jump at his words and then run to Garys aid)
Tim: GARY!!
Andon: (thinks about Garys words and helps out)
(everything blacks out)
(back at the headquarters Gary awakes on his bed with
Andon standing over him)
Gary: Andon!
(sips his pink lemonade)
Andon: Oi my frozen friend.
Gary: What happened...I feel funny.
Andon: You blacked out and went into a coma for several days.
But you seem to be tiptop shape now. Tim was worried
about you.
Gary: Really? How is the Fabulous Five doing now? Have they
seen any action?
Andon: (remains silent for a second)
Andon: We are the Sinister Six now...
Gary: Sinister Six? But theres only...
(Gary gets cut off as Andon transforms into Elecman)
Gary: WHAT! YOU JOINED!!
Andon: It took a while...but in the end Tim wanted me to join.
He knows how much good friends we are and well
time I join a team. I need to do something with my life.
And working solo kinda bites. (takes another sip of
his Pink Lemonade)
Gary: This is awesome!!
Andon: Yes...but get some rest.
(Soon the rest of the six walk in)
Jason: I take it that Andon has told you the news.
Gary: Yup.
Tim: Some heros we turned out to be. Almost got killed today.

Andon: Oh!! (puts down his lemonade)
Andon: (At least I got a new CD burner so I can start writing

There's good news for investors who were scared off by high price-to-earnings (PE) ratios when stocks sat at record highs in January: Rising earnings and the latest pullback in stocks have brought valuations down near long-term averages. Based on consensus estimates for the next 12 months, the S&P 500 Index PE ratio fell from 18.5 on January 26 to 16.3 as of April 27. That's a relatively big drop.
Even more reassuring for those concerned about valuations is that, despite their recent rise, interest rates and inflation remain low by historical standards. LPL Research Chief Investment Strategist John Lynch notes, "Stock market valuations are above average, but when factoring in interest rates and inflation that are below historical averages, we think valuations are actually quite reasonable."
If we break PE ratios down by interest rate levels (based on trailing earnings so we can get a longer history), our LPL Chart of the Day shows that a 10-year Treasury yield near 3% is consistent with above-average S&P 500 PE ratios:
Similarly, the current pace of annual changes in the Consumer Price Index, at 2.4%, supports higher valuations:
Bottom line, we believe slightly above-average stock valuations are justified based on the strong earnings outlook, still-low interest rates, and low inflation. Combining reasonable valuations with solid fundamentals and a positive technical and sentiment backdrop, with the S&P 500 about 7% off of its January highs, we think stocks look good here. We maintain our S&P 500 year-end 2018 fair value target of 2950–3000, implying double-digit stock market returns from current levels.*
*We believe 2018 earnings will be supported by stronger global economic growth, a pickup in business spending, strong manufacturing activity in the United States, and the new tax law. Our year-end S&P 500 fair value target range is 2950–3000 based on a price-to-earnings ratio (PE) of 19.5.
The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.

While single-factor strategies that target stocks with low valuations, strong momentum, high profitability, and low volatility have each been successful over the long term, they all experience extended stretches of underperformance. But because these factor strategies tend to perform well at different times, investors can reduce risk without sacrificing return by diversifying across them.
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (GSLC) is an attractive diversified multifactor strategy that provides modest tilts toward stocks with low valuations, strong momentum, high profitability, and low volatility. While the fund's factor tilts are small, it has a low expense ratio to match, which gives it a reasonable chance to beat the S&P 500 over the long term. The fund earns a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze.

The Renaissance marked a turning element in Europe's dating to Arabic idea. at the one hand, Dag Nikolaus Hasse argues, it was once the interval during which vital Arabic traditions reached the height in their effect in Europe. however, it's the time while the West started to omit, or even actively suppress, its debt to Arabic tradition. Success and Suppression traces the advanced tale of Arabic impression on Renaissance thought.
It is usually assumed that the Renaissance had no real interest in Arabic sciences and philosophy, simply because humanist polemics from the interval attacked Arabic studying and championed Greek civilization. but Hasse exhibits that Renaissance denials of Arabic effect emerged now not simply because students of the time rejected that highbrow culture altogether yet simply because a small staff of anti-Arab hard-liners strove to suppress its strong and persuasive impression. The interval witnessed a increase in new translations and multivolume variants of Arabic authors, and eu philosophers and scientists incorporated―and usually celebrated―Arabic concept of their paintings, specially in drugs, philosophy, and astrology. however the recognized Arabic specialists have been a famous quandary to the Renaissance undertaking of renewing eu educational tradition via Greece and Rome, and radical reformers accused Arabic technology of linguistic corruption, plagiarism, or irreligion. Hasse indicates how a mix of ideological and medical causes ended in the decline of a few Arabic traditions in vital components of eu tradition, whereas others persevered to flourish.

Today is our one year anniversary! This is probably our last 'first' so we made it a weekend event. Saturday starting off a little shaky with family drama, but then the real fun began! Saturday night was Wes' surprise for me. Dinner at Fogo De Chao! Neither of us have been there but we've both heard really good things about it. Heather knew where we were going and prepared me on what to wear and not to eat all day! Wes made reservations for 7:30 and I was so excited and very surprised when we pulled up! The salad bar was amazing-They had the best cheeses, asparagus, and prosciutto I've ever eaten. Then, it was time for the main courses. We had coasters that were red on one side and green on the other. If your coaster was on green, that meant keep 'em coming! We ate filet mignon, lamb chops, chicken wrapped in bacon, homemade sausage, and sirloin. They also served fried bananas and fried polenta. The polenta was SO good. Then, of course, because we weren't glutinous enough (hey..you only have a one year anniversary once!) we ordered a chocolate molten lava cake. We left so stuffed but so happy. It was a great dinner. After dinner we stopped by Rachel B's birthday party at Lot One. It was pretty obvious I hadn't been out in a while! Wes was pretty sleepy but we ended up staying pretty late and had a really good time!
Chase spent the night at Summer's for the first time Saturday night. He did really good! He said he had a good time and he's already lined up to spend the night again the night before Thanksgiving. I think we're going to try to make a tradition for the boys to all spend the night together on Thanksgiving Eve. I was proud of him for being such a big boy. :)
Today was my surprise for Wes. After sleeping in VERY late I put Wes in the car and blindfolded him so he couldn't see where we were going. After taking the long way we ended up at the Pavillion in Griffin, the place where we got married last year. I had a basket with our thawed out wedding cake, a cd player, and our favorite Diet Mt. Dew. We had to park and walk b/c the gate was locked, but it was the perfect end to our weekend. The lake was so low, but other than that nothing changed out there. I put in our wedding cd and we danced in the same spot we were in exactly one year before. When we were dancing I closed my eyes and I could see every detail from our wedding. The fire, the beautiful weather, the white lights and all of our friends and family. I saw my smiling dad sitting in his wheelchair under the heaters we rented, and all of our friends in a big circle around us. It's a memory that I thought had faded, but came back so clear it brought tears to my eyes. After we danced we ate our cake (it was surprisingly really good still!) and put one notch on one of the wooden columns. Hopefully we can start a tradition.
I am anxious about, but looking forward to the holidays coming up. Our anniversary was certainly a great way to start things off! Chase is home with me all week for Thanksgiving break. It's going to be nice to sleep in and hang out together in our pj's. Thursday will be lunch at Summer's, and dinner at my mom's. Between Fogo De Chao's, and my favorite holiday foods, it's going to be time for a serious diet soon!!

A multi-disciplinary exhibit called Particles on the Wall (POTW) explores the human and environmental legacy of nuclear technology, specifically focused on the global implications of the Hanford facility. Since its debut in January 2010, POTW has traveled to nine communities within Washington and will soon be traveling to the Natural Capital Center for its first showing in Oregon.
A free opening reception of Particles on the Wall will be held on Friday, May 3rd from 6-8 p.m. at Ecotrust's Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center.
Hosted by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility in collaboration with Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Institute of Neurotoxicology and Neurological Disorders, the night's opening reception will also honor the high school student winners of the 2013 Greenfield Peace Writing Scholarship. Students submitted essays based on the prompt, "Why does Hanford matter?"
Covering 586 square miles alongside the Columbia River, Hanford is owned by the federal government and operated by the U.S. Department of Energy. The site began production in 1944 and was commissioned to supply plutonium for the Manhattan Project, which included the first nuclear test, codenamed "Trinity." Two-thirds of the plutonium used in the nation's stockpile of nuclear weapons between 1944 and 1988 came from Hanford reactors.
Decommissioned following the Cold War, it is still home to 53 million gallons of chemical and radioactive waste from over three decades of plutonium production. The B Reactor—the first reactor ever built, which supplied the plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb—was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark on August 19th, 2008. It is open for public tours.
Richland had more than enough sky. Wind was the landscape. It had swept out the past; the present was dust. I can almost taste it. The rain smelled sweetly of it. Even the snow was dusty. Even the dust, though we didn't know it then, was radioactive."
–Excerpt from POTW's "The Landscape of Memory" by Debora Greger, originally published in Desert Fathers, Uranium Daughters
POTW's founders and curators Dianne Dickeman, Nancy Dickeman, and Steven Gilbert wanted to create an exhibit that brought together visual, literary, scientific, and historical disciplines to "stimulate examination, discussion, and creative expression about the nuclear age."
It is dedicated in the memory of poet William Witherup, who was a driving force behind the exhibit, but passed away from leukemia prior to its development. His poetry reflects many of the environmental and social concerns for the site and the ramifications of nuclear destruction. An excerpt from his poem B-REACTOR: HANFORD: A NATIONAL MONUMENT reads:
A mutant dragon fly
Sips a chemical cocktail
From a dank cooling pond.
Coyote has a tumor on his tongue,
And Magpie is blind-
See her hopping in circles,
Dragging her wings
And once-saucy tail?"
Materials from POTW have been gathered in a hard copy book, which can be purchased online, or alternatively downloaded as an e-book for iPad, Kindle, or in .pdf format. Downloads are free, but donations can be made to support the work of Healthy World Press and the Institute of Neurotoxicology and Neurological Disorders.
Ecotrust will display a smaller installation of the exhibit from May 3rd—June 14th.

But first for something completely different.
Important announcement! Today is June 16th. Which means:
1) Happy Fathers Day, Dad! ^_^
2) It's less than one month away from my wedding! Requesting permission to freak out!
At work it's an odd mixture of being excited and very bored. This results in a rather fidgity person. I try to keep the fidgiting to a minimum by daydreaming. Oh, hush, it's alright, the project is over, NEC's just keeping us contractors til the end of June in case something goes wrong. I have been occupying the time making tests of cases that will never happen and doodling various scenes on memo pads that include:
*me in wedding dress
*wedding rings
what else...
*takeshi in wedding dress
Anyways, please check the wedding blog this weekend. I'll be posting up vital information like maps, plans for saturday, times bridesmaids and groomsmen should meet us Thursday, what to do for wedding gifts, etc.
But in more fun news, I wanted to share some links.
My CGJIG partners in crime shared this site called mojizu with me. The concept is simple: you draw a character, post it up, it gets feedback and is rated on a scale of 1-10. If yours is particularly good, it might be put in a 'moji war' agains other characters to see whose is the ultimate character design.
I put up a character called the ramen baby. So far it has a 4.1/10. I believe that is an F--. *^_^* That doesn't stop me from checking on it every now and then like a doting parent, though. When I saw that Mojizu site I immediately thought of Zach. I'm sure he would submit something great.
And here's a very funny video of some foreigners singing a clever song in the middle of a park in Tokyo, titled Gaijin Invasion. tee hee.
Last but not least, it's the World Cup! This is nothing special in America, but in the rest of the civilized world, it's huge! ^_~ This will be the first time in twelve years that I'm farther than a few miles from the city holding the event. I was in LA in 1994 visiting someone, then I was in Europe in 1998 for a choir tour, then I was in Japan in 2002 studying abroad. This string of coincidences made me think it was an odd twist of fate, and I thought for a moment some bizarre chain of events would take me to Germany this summer... but alas, it is not to be.
Soccer is mostly a game of close calls, so it can take some getting used to, but it's fun to follow once you're used to the sound of "**oooOOOOHHhhh!!..crap! dang that was CLOSE!**"
Japan lost its first game to Australia 1-3, as most of my coworkers were expecting, but America didn't even get ONE stinking point in our first game. *shakes head*. So dissapointed in you. I will be expecting better on Sunday.
