A BRAVE rescue mission from volunteer Southport Lifeboat crewmen saved a stranded couple who attempted to walk along the beach from Southport to Blackpool.
The pair were forced to call for help after getting stuck in the treacherous sand channels near the River Ribble on Tuesday evening.
After rescuing walkers stuck on the beach for the second time in recent weeks, emergency services have urged walkers to be careful.
The couple, both in their twenties, were on a day trip from Manchester when they decided to try and walk to Blackpool.
Getting stuck near Lytham, they rang Liverpool coastguard for help at 6.30pm.
The coastguard then contacted Southport Lifeboat, who sent two quadbikes to the scene, along with rescue teams from Lytham St Annes.
Nick Porter, of Southport Lifeboat, said the walkers were caught in a dangerous position as the tide turned in.
He said: "They got quite a long way to be fair, they were closer to Lytham.
"We couldn't get to them and one of our quad bikes got stuck...the tide had just started turning and you don't want to be hanging around once it has turned."
With the help of local fishermen the couple were hauled to safety, but Nick stressed it is not safe to attempt the six mile walk to Blackpool. Labelling the route as "treacherous" he said the couple were in a particularly bad area, and luckily they had a mobile on them to call for help.
Liverpool Coastguard watch officer Helen Scott said: "The two day-trippers today were very lucky as the tide had not started to come back in and there was still some daylight left for the search."

Please visit the new NCWiseOwl Toolkit !
NCWiseOwl (NC Windows for Online Learning) has been providing online subscription resources for our schools since 1999. Our mission is to ensure that all public and charter school students have access to a collection of online resources for use in educational pursuits, without regard to the economic status of their local school system. NCWiseOwl has three major strengths as an educational resource:
Quality - Information on the Internet at-large is often unreliable and inappropriate for use in the K-12 education field. NCWiseOwl's subscription databases provide access to articles from thousands of magazines, from online encyclopedias and reference sources, and from a variety of other sources that are only available to paying customers.
Economy - By purchasing databases at the state level we are able to achieve an economy-of-scale that saves taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars over the cost of individual school systems purchasing the same resources.
Safety - Using NCWiseOwl for online research places students in a safer, advertising-free environment with age-appropriate information and tools that assist students with the research process.
NCWiseOwl resources are available anywhere that Internet access is provided. School systems may register their networks so that no passwords are required when using computers on campus. Passwords may be obtained from school or system-level media and/or technology personnel to permit access outside of school facilities.

"This works for now."
Since they brought back flasks full of water and a bunch of kindling, I gratefully used them to light a fire.
Usually, it would be bad to have an open fire indoors, but this is the chemistry lab. There are plenty of equipment for lighting fires.
I spread out wet newspapers on the table, laid out 4 bricks and rested an iron plate on them, I will be cooking the meat on the fire I'm building on top of that.
It's not the ground so I can't do something like stick sticks into the ground.
That can't be helped, so I will be using the retort stands usually used to secure flasks, liebig condenser or burettes to cook about 10 spits of meat at once.
Ah, I didn't forget to boil the water in the flasks. It was water collected from a clean river and according to President, it is water that can be drunk normally, but sterilise it just in case!
And so the meal was done.
The meal consists of bird meat on skewers with salt and soy sauce as well as fruits.
It's quite extravagant considering our situation. It wouldn't be strange if we couldn't use fire in these kind of situations. Being able to use fire and water is a wonderful thing. Yes.
Normally meat tastes better if you let it ripen for a few days after cooking it over a fire, but fresh meat isn't bad either.
It's a good thing this was bird meat, if it was meat from a larger animal, then we wouldn't be able to eat it because of rigor mortis.
"Well, it tastes normal"
"This is quite nice for a mystery bird."
The taste, salt and soy sauce were quite well received.
Because of the combo of walking a lot, moving a lot and tension, everyone other than me was very hungry. They wolfed the meat down. Wo—ow.
2 fruits and 3 skewers of meat was enough for me. It's better for the others to eat more.
It's not like I'm going out of this chemistry lab anyway. My calorie consumption isn't that much.
We don't know when our supply of food will run out. I'll preserve the remaining meat tomorrow. Luckily we have the necessary tools.
wait 3 out of 10?
"……it's inconvenient without light."
After the meal, the only thing lighting the dark chemistry lab is the remains of the fire.
Normally we would be able to light up the place using electric lights. But there's no way we could use electricity without the power cables connected to anything.
"Didn't we have batteries and light bulbs?"
"We shouldn't waste them now."
"Candles……we should save them too."
In the future, if the three of them had to explore some dark place, it would definitely be safer to use light from a light bulb rather than fire, so we should hold on to the precious batteries and light bulbs until then.
Similarly for the candles. We shouldn't waste them in a safe room without reason.
……come to think of it, I saved the bird's fats to see if it could be used frying on the iron plates. It will go bad anyway. Let's use it.
Err, if I remember correctly, there should be empty cans in the dustbin. ……yep. There's some, so let's use 1. Just in case, I chose the one that was the most dented and didn't seem useful. It doesn't matter as long as the bottom is fine anyway.
I cut the empty can into half horizontally and lightly washed it. I packed the bird's fats into the containers that was made from that and placed it over the cinders. Melt. Release your oil.
I tore off a little of an old rag that had been left lying around as a dust cloth, stuck it into the oil that started to ooze out and used it as a wick.
I thinly cut off a bit of the empty can and used it as a wire to support the wick and secured it.
Then light it.
……mhm, it got somewhat brighter. It got brighter but……
"……the smell makes me hungry."
"It's bird after all."
Mhm. It really smells like cooking chicken.
chicken candle
Since the lamp that let out a delicious smell was done, we moved on to making our beds.
"You're on the counter."
"It's not as cold as the floor."
Thanks to everyone's gentlemanly spirit, I ended up sleeping on the counter.
I don't need that gentlemanly spirit.
The ones that are actually going out and doing things is everyone else and if anything happens tomorrow, it is them who are going to do something about it.
So, I should sleep on the floor.
……I objected with the above argument, but they didn't listen.
Their reasons were simply, 3 boys can't sleep on the counter, a space problem, or bad sleeping habits so he'll roll off the counter, quite a serious problem, those kind of things, so there's nothing I could do about it, I gave up.
Also our beds are cardboard on top of newspapers, with packing materials that was piled up in a corner of the chemistry store as sheets and spare lab coats as blankets. It's quite warm with this.
Don't underestimate newspaper.
It ended up with the three of them huddled together to sleep in the furthest position from the counter. ……this is a little lonely.
good guys
It's morning. Good morning. Taking a look, the others were still sleeping.
I lit a fire and boiled water in a claypot. If we had miso I would've made miso soup tho—ugh.
Nothing I can do about that, so I threw in the bones of the bird from yesterday and tried making soup from that. After I adjusted the taste with salt, it at least became better than plain water.
it's something
While boiling the water, I cleaned myself with the feather duster. With one feather duster there's no need to bathe, it's amazing.
While doing this and that, President woke up, so I also cleaned President with the feather duster.
"What is this."
"Just stay quiet and be cleaned."
As I pofu pofu'ed him, with that mystery glow, the cleaning was complete.
I also dusted Suzumoto and Hagasaki-kun in the same way as they were woken up by President's noise.
"……heey, is this, that? Your skill?"
"YES. It is [Cleaning]."
Well, at times like this, we should bear hygiene in mind. Otherwise we can get sick.
"……[Maid] must be a support class. Probably."
Obviously, it would be scary if a maid was an active front line combat profession.
like Nanaki
After the miserable breakfast of bird soup and fruits, they once again went off the explore.
Just that if they went off like that I would have nothing to do, so I had them gather some branches from a sakura tree for me.
I requested as thick as possible and they brought back an entire sapling.
Oh m—y, how splendid.
It seems Suzumoto chopped it down with a swing of his sword. Mhm. Scary. Seems to be a result of the [Decapitation] skill, but scary things are scary. Why can you cut down a tree with a sword!
I somehow peeled the bark off the sakura tree and made fresh wood shavings.
There's quite a few tools in the lab so there was no problem. Right now I'm using a saw. Giko giko.
After making wood shavings, I poured them into an eighteen liter drum that had been lying in the corner of the lab.
I opened a hole in another eighteen liter drum and put it on top of the first one, leaving the first one open.
I lit the wood shavings and smoke started coming out nicely. Good good.
I roughly washed the breast meat I had salted since yesterday and wiped off the water.
After wiping it, I tied kite string to it and used wooden chopsticks and a bunch of other stuff to hang it in the eighteen liter drum and put the lid back on.
……basically, I'm smoking it. Smoked chicken break is quite tasty—. It has a light taste and is quite nice—.
But it's a little smoky so I opened the window. Mh—m, the wind feels good. At times like this, it feels good to do laundry. But if I tried to hang laundry outside in this situation, I will probably become food for the birds.
yep let's not do that
They came back around noon.
They looked slightly tired, but their expressions were even more lively.
It seems they got new skills. Suzumoto got [Leap], Hagasaki-kun go [Wind Magic] and Presdient obtained [Mapping].
That's nicee. As for me, it is still [Cleaning] only. Damn it.
it is fate
"And here is a present."
President brought back, what! A tuber! It looks like a potato! But it's ridiculously hufe! It's a soccer ball-size tuber. It really is huge.
But we can get carbohydrates with this. Yahoo! Obtaining calories from meat alone is quite tough.
"And we also stocked up on water. ……isn't it kinda smoky?"
"Sorry, I'm making smoked meat."
Thinking it should be done soon, I took a peek, and it seemed to be just right, so I removed the meat from the smoker and tied to string to the curtain pole and hung it up. Good. After it dries, we will have emergency rations.
Me? You can praise me more you know?
"Since we are in this situation, it's better to have emergency rations if we can."
"We don't know when we can return to our normal lives either."
……Hagasaki-kun's gloomy voice somehow reminded us of reality.
When will we be able to return to where we came from?
a while
Next, lunch was boiled potatoes and salted potatoes along with the smoked meat that was just made. Hagasaki-kun taste-tested it after staring at it for a while. What was the point of emergency rations!
emergency taste test
Oh yeah, in the middle of cutting the potatoes, I also got the skill [Dissection].
There was suddenly a glow at my chest, so I pulled out my dog tag and took a look and under the skill column there was an additional [Dissection].
According to Suzumoto, by repeating actions that are related to a skill, you will get it as a skill, or possibly there is aptitude and when the situation requires it, you will get it or something.
Suzumoto's [Leap] and President's [Mapping] are the former, Hagasaki-kun's magics are the latter.
Since I dismantled the birds yesterday, with these potatoes, it finally became a skill.
By the way, after obtaining the skill, I became able to use the kitchen knife faster. I already had quite a bit of confidence in that though.
well, it helps
And so, actual taste. The potato tasted like potato. It was seriously potato.
The taste is closer to an Irish cobbler rather then May Queen. ……are there tubers like May Queen in this world?
The smoked meat was made without any spice, just salt, so it's taste was kinda okay. It's not bad. A—h, I want pepper.
find the cooking lab
"Then we'll be off. If there's any protein foods we'll get some."
"Mhm. Good luck. Take care everyo—ne."
As I sent them off again with a wave, each of them raised a hand lightly in response.
As they raised their hands, Hagasaki's arm that had been hidden by the sleeve peeked out for an instant.
That thin red line, is probably, a wound.
"W, wai……"
I reflexively called out, but seeing Hagasaki-kun casually put back his sleeve and hide the wound as he turned around, I couldn't say anything.
That bad mood is probably to hide it.
I can't tell them to not do dangerous things. I know that going out is dangerous. But they have to go to get both their and my share of food.
If they don't go, we will starve to death eventually.
"Be careful."
That's why I cannot say anything more than this.
Watching them walk off after making brief responses, I was tortured by the feeling of helplessness.
….can't do anything
Since just waiting blankly would just make me feel impatient, I cleaned the chemistry store I had not touched yesterday.
Pofu pofu. Pofu pofu.
Focusing on moving the feather duster allowed me to distract myself and I eventually became able to sing while working. Singing helps distract me too.
don't focus on bad stuff
After singing and moving the feather duster for a while, there was suddenly a glow at my chest.
Whwhwhwhat!? Did I do something? I already have the [Cleaning] skill!
…… but when I took a look there was an additional skill, [Ballad].
A—h, that scared me. It comes so suddenly, so it gave me a shock.
But, [Ballad] huuh. ……I, I want an explanation.
And on the reverse side on the second dog tag, [Prayer Song] was written. ……ex, explanation……
….no idea
Fo, for now let's try singing. I might be able to figure something out. E, err, what to sing.
…… [Prayer Song], right? Prayer song, prayer song, repeating that, I chose a fitting song and started singing.
A pale gold pattern appeared at my feet.
Hi, hieeeeeeee! What is thiiiiiiis! Even more mysterious lights! Aaaaah I don't get it anymore!
I don't get it, but something might happen so I continued and sung one song, the design at my feet grew deeper and then paler, continuing to glow and pulse, even after I finished singing. And then after 30 minutes it finally disappeared.
……I, I don't get it……
And after doing those things, it was four in the afternoon when I took a look at the clock. (The clock runs on batteries so it's still working. It'll probably keep working until the batteries run out.)
They're late.
……did something happen?
Like they got injured and can't move? Or something worse?
I can imagine as many scenarios as I want. My precious friends, might have, died.
It's not a joke, it really feels that way. Yet I cannot do anything.
Because I'm a maid! I have no combat ability or anything!
I only have a feather duster! If I'm attacked I really will die.
……but in the end that might just be an excuse. I'm simply just a coward.
Hagasaki-kun had a cut on his arm.
I think there were dents on Suzumoto's armour.
Does President have a wound somewhere too?
Those tell me about the dangers of outside. That's why it's scary. I'm scared. I'm a coward.
not moving is smarter
But thinking logically, I should wait.
Even if I go, the most I can do is get injured, or at worst die, before finding them. Then I should at least prepare to be able to respond when they come back.
That is probably my role. The role of the profession called maid.
wait for the master's return
And so, I decided. I decided to bet on it if there is even a small chance.
Specifically, obtaining a new skill!

I keep getting an error that I need to put in a valid card. I have used the recommended stripe test card number and valid cards I own as well but keep getting this error on any stripe subscription form.
I have deleted the form cache in my JotForm account, deleted and reset the API Keys in my stripe account along with disconnected and reconnected the jotform integration from within my stripe account.
This was working fine yesterday but now I am having issues. I added a different stripe account than the one I was using yesterday and I don't know if that is messing things up. I thought deleting the cache and resetting the API (test Secret Key and Test Publishable Key would work along with deleting all of the test data I had in Stripe)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My favourite food is fruit. How many of you here likes fruit? What is your favourite fruit? (Have a discussion with the children about their favourite fruit.) All fruit have a different taste, shape and color.The word of God tells us about the fruits of the spirit.
As sinners we need to come to Jesus to give our hearts to Him. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Once we have accepted God, we become His property, the fruits of the spirit will start growing within us. The fruit that is within us is given to us by God. The awesomeness of this gift is love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, patience and self-control. Through God's power and love, we can be patient. A wise person is patient and does not just lose their temper.
Christ is patient so that more people can be saved. He is our example. As we are all different, we have within us different fruits. We serve a three in one God, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. We are not able to see the Holy Spirit, but He is all around us, He is our Helper and He will guide us through life.
If you stand outside and you lift your hands into the air and you feel a slight wind blowing, that is what the Holy Spirit is like. He waits upon each ones needs. The gentle Holy Spirit wants us to invite Him into our daily lives. Do this and you will see the fruits growing in your life.
The Spirit plants the good seed in our lives and God waters it so that we have good fruit in our lives and become good and faithful children. It's like a car that needs petrol to run, the Holy Spirit is the same, you need to invite Him. You need to love the Holy Spirit and you need to study the Word of God. That is our petrol to run smoothly on God's path to His kingdom.
Q. Who tells us about the fruits of the spirit?
A. The word of God does.
Q. As a sinner, who do we give our lives too.?
A. We need to go to Jesus to give our hearts to Him.
Q. What do we need to have patience and love?
A. We need God's power (The Word of God)
Q. Do we all have the same fruit?
A. No, because we are all different.
Q. Can you name the three in one God?
A. God, the Father; God, the Son (Jesus); and the Holy Spirit.
Q. Who is the Holy Spirit?
A. He is our helper and guide.
Q. How many fruits of the spirit are there and what are there names ?
A. There are nine fruits. They are love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness.patience, goodness, faithfulness and self - control.

Make A Vet Sweat is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has made its mission to serve Texas veterans with combat-related disabilities and their spouses by covering the cost of group fitness gym memberships for three months to promote a holistic coping alternative to help beat PTSD.
To introduce a positive influence on the lives of veterans who struggle with PTSD, as well as their families helping them at home, by providing a healthy physical activity outlet in which they can use to relieve stress and become healthy.
The gym memberships our organization offers focus on group-based exercise, that emphasizes the team-based environment veterans enjoy and healthy living that will beat PTSD.
Justin "Boflex" Bohannon, Founder and President of Make A Vet Sweat, spent ten years in the Army, serving two tours in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division. Just like many other service members, Justin found himself severely affected by PTSD after he separated from the military. However, Justin found comfort through his love of weightlifting and passion for living a healthy lifestyle. After battling his issues with PTSD, it has become a personal goal of his to help others by sharing what worked for him and in August of 2015, he formed MAVS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which is based locally in Austin, Texas.
Lean and agile are the best words to describe the MAVS team. The members of our team come from all walks of life and with their diverse backgrounds they have the ability to serve a variety of roles within the organization. Some are Veterans who after serving their country with honor have decided to serve their fellow brothers and sisters. While others are selfless Civilians who are grateful for the sacrifices made by generations of servicemen and women.
What is PTSD?
As designated under the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Center for PTSD defines Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a mental health problem some people develop after experiencing or witnessing an event that they perceive to be unsafe or life-threatening, such as combat or physical violence, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault.
What are the symptoms?
Those with PTSD may continuously battle a myriad of its symptoms, such as:
- Feelings of hopelessness, shame, or despair.
- Depression or anxiety.
- Drinking or drug problems.
- Physical symptoms or chronic pain.
- Employment problems.
- Relationship symptoms, including divorce.
How does exercise help?
Exercise and many other types of physical activity produce endorphins – chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers – and also improve the ability to sleep, which in turn reduces stress. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, scientists have found that the result of regular participation in the exercise includes: Decrease in overall levels of tension. Elevate and stabilize mood. Improve sleep. Improve self-esteem.
For more information on veteran group exercise research visit: Osher Center for Integrative Medicine
Why group fitness?
One cannot underestimate the value of comradery. The military has the distinct ability to add meaning to brotherhood and sisterhood, not in words, but in actions. The gym memberships our organization provides emphasizes on group-based fitness, similar to the bond created through military service.
Why only help Texas?
Currently, through the generosity and majority of donations coming from the Texas communities, we are just funding gym memberships for Texas veterans and spouses. However, we hope as the network and knowledge of our organization continues to grow, that we can expand our reach in the region and eventually the nation.
Why veteran spouses?
According to the National Center for PTSD, PTSD can affect how couples get along with each other. It can also change the mental health of partners. MAVS honors the spouses who held down the home fronts for our heroes by funding their gym membership costs as well.
So get started and apply for a MAVS Gym Membership!
**Texas Veterans and Spouses ONLY

Summary: F-Secure has found that between Q1 2011 and Q1 2012, the number of Android malware families has increased from 10 to 37, and the number of malicious Android APKs has increased from 139 to 3,069.
Malware targeting Android users has nearly quadrupled since 2011. As you can see in the graph above, 10 Android malware families were detected in Q1 2011. This number increased for two quarters in a row, then dipped for one, and then finally settled at 37 in Q1 2012. That means a year-over-year growth of 270 percent.
The data comes from security firm F-Secure. The trend was revealed today in the company's 47-page Mobile Threat Report Q1 2012 (PDF). Here's the corresponding excerpt:
It makes sense that both the number of malware families and malicious Android APKs is increasing, but it's still staggering to see that the latter number is now over 3,000, whereas last year it was just above 100.
The increase in malware numbers is indicative of a wider increase in mobile threats, according to F-Secure. Even more worrying, however, is that the Finnish security firm warned many of the apps are targeting Android users' financial data, noting that 34 of the current malware families are designed to steal money from infected smartphones.
"The most interesting malware trend over recent months has been the increase in Trojans that deliver on their promises," F-Secure analyst Sean Sullivan said in a statement. "This makes it harder for victims to know they have been victimised as there is less for them to detect."

Toshiba has announced it will offer a 7-inch tablet alongside its 10.1-inch AT100, promising the new addition will appeal to consumers looking for an entertainment-friendly device in a portable size.
The AT1S0 features a 1200x800 HD screen and stereo speakers, and is fitted with Micro USB and Micro HDMI ports, plus a Micro SD card slot for easy content sharing.
Unlike the Kindle Fire tablet announced by Amazon yesterday, the Toshiba device has GPS and Bluetooth, plus two HD cameras. However, like the Kindle Fire it only has 8GB of internal storage, which doesn't allow for a whole lot of video content.
The tablet is powered by Android 3.2, and will retail for $699 when it goes on sale at the end of October.

Angelo Bernardini, headmaster of one of the largest secondary schools in central Italy, at Avezzano in the mountainous Abruzzi region, has upset his students because he has asked them to cover up their navels. In a circular to his students he pointed that just as veiling their faces with burkas is not appropriate in school it is also incorrect to reveal too much of the body, especially the navel. Clothing, he said, should be chosen to suit the circumstances and the activity to be undertaken. Prof Bernardini invited his pupils to take this into account when dressing for school.
On the day following the publication of the circular seven students went to school veiled, 200 students, belonging to a left wing group called "Utopia", did not go to school, in protest at "the headmasters attempt to crush their individuality", and the remaining 1,400 pupils carried on, dressed as usual.

CPI wants non-Congress nominee for Vice President
CPI leader A B Bardhan today said he had suggested to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that a non-Congress nominee be fielded as Vice-President of India.patna Updated: Jul 12, 2012 22:05 IST
CPI leader A B Bardhan on Thursday said he had suggested to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that a non-Congress nominee be fielded as Vice-President of India.
"We want a non-Congress nominee for the post of Vice-President," Bardhan, a CPI central secretariat member, told reporters here.
He said the Prime Minister had telephoned him on Wednesday and also contacted CPI General Secretary Sudhakar Reddy on the vice-presidential election.
On the likelihood of the Left extending support for continuation of Hamid Ansari as Vice-President, Bardhan said "two to three names have cropped up for the post but we have not made any suggestion in this connection.
"We will discuss the issue in the event of Prime Minister and his alliance partners finally declaring the candidature of Ansari," Bardhan who is here to participate in a state-level meeting of CPI, said.
He admitted there were differences among the Left on supporting Pranab Mukherjee for the post of President but said Left parties were together on other issues.

That look
That look, that fucking look, an icy fist tearing through my stomach, the hollow abyss that I've just emptied, looking back through teary, bloodshot eyes, my bulging, throbbing confessions. God, that fucking look, she's seen my dirty, nasty secret, she can see the vomit splashing in my face, like she saw him do it, the same look I give myself in the mirror "You nasty, dirty, abused, selfish fucking bitch, I know what you are, I know what's happened to you, fat, ugly, worthless, used, good for nothing, damaged goods, no one will ever love you, just use you up again and again-like you use up all that food- until there's nothing left, you fat, filthy fucking whore."

Yay you blogged. ;DReplyDelete
This is so hearbreaking to read.
You can tell it comes from a deep place.
I love you.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
Your Mum, she doesn't understand or remember what it's like. She's forgotten, or maybe she blames herself and reflects it on you, maybe she's just confused, I dunno, I don't know her.
whatever her reason, she's letting it out in the wrong way and I wander what she'd say if she read this.
I'm so sorry honey.
That list, of what you called yourself, you're none of those things.
You're so funny, beautiful, good to talk to, honest, and bright.
Good luck with college.

Today I'm flying to Texas to attend my grandmother's funeral. She's suffered for a long time, so as hard as it is to lose someone, there is solace in the fact that she is finally at peace.
My grandmother, or "Mami Cha Cha" as we called her, was a stunning and talented woman of Mexican and Spanish heritage and a very proud Texan.. She was an artist, a poet, a singer, and a collector of all things beautiful. She had an amazing eye and even as a child, I always considered her to be so glamorous ("glam gram") and the collections in her home to be so special.
The timing couldn't have been more appropriate when I read this in Anna Spiro's book Absolutely Beautiful Things, "Be a 'neo-traditionalist'. Bring back into your life today the ways and traditions of your family's past." Anna says, "I believe in tradition. In following thoughts, actions, ideas and tastes passed down from older generations. Family traditions evoke memories of special places and times."
These traditions can be threaded through your home by curating collections of items (baskets, pottery, figurines, hats...whatever) just like family members before you did. When I was younger, I recall trying to be different and forge my own path, but more and more I find that I enjoy incorporating pieces into my own home that remind me of my heritage and my family. These are the ways in which we put our own stamp on our homes, why our homes become our refuge and escape, and why our homes put a smile on our faces.

Last week it was my birthday. I'm officially ..old enough (I'm just under 30). My best bud, Victoria of The Unconventional Makeup Junkie and I (along with my mini me) went on a Sephora run. It was rainy on the 27th, and Sephora always cheers me up. I went looking for nothing in particular. Just something. I mentioned to Victoria how amazing she looked, and how she always looks put together. I work retail, and she works in an office, so for her , makeup is a daily ritual. She wears neutrals to work, and goes all out on the weekends. Theres an ongoing debate between her and I. Since I work retail I dont feel as great a need to look put together as she does. "Whats the point of putting on makeup ?! " I always ask. Her response is always simply "Why not?". Why not is mostly because unless I'm wearing my blue shirt and khaki's no one really cares what my face looks like. Its freeing for sure, but at the same time..I dont want to feel like a shlub.
So while we were shopping and talking she said (again) said I should wear makeup every day. It always makes me feel better about myself and why not? I have enough of it right? This year. I will wear something every day. In my head , during the conversation, I heard this:
So that challenge is to wear something makeupish every day. Theres no rules, no penalties, just doing it for the fun of it. Honestly, I want to see if I can. The only thing I for sure do every day is drink my morning coffee (ok fine. Tea. Dont judge me).
I will be documenting what I wear (either with fotd or just pics of my makeup). Theres no reason to cheat, since it wasnt a formal challenge, and she didnt say how much I had to wear (for instance, since I'm sick today I'm just wearing blush).
Game on Victoria.

Nenagh Castle
Posted on September 13, 2017 by Alan Kelly
I have been raising the issue of the funding required to carry out phase two works on Nenagh Castle with the Minister for Public Works for months now.
After his visit last week, I have subsequently been in touch with him and I am confident that the Minister will provide funding to commence the works that have been planned for many years now.
Nenagh Castle looks fantastic and has had record numbers of visitors over the last year. We need to continue this and developing the original entrance to the castle, completing more renovation works and looking at an interpretive centre would really enhance the visitor experience of this fabulous attraction. I'm confident that Minister Moran will help us with this and that funding will be provided in the coming months.

HPV Vaccine campaign
Posted on September 04, 2017 by Alan Kelly
I support the HSE's Protect our Future HPV vaccine campaign and has condemned the comments of his constituency colleague Deputy Mattie McGrath.
This week, more than 30,000 young girls started secondary school and are due to receive the HPV vaccine in the coming weeks. Due to a large misinformation campaign, medical groups are rightly worried that we will see another dramatic fall in the uptake of the vaccination.
I support this life-saving vaccine and the HSE's information campaign encouraging parents to allow their children to receive the vaccine.
As a father of two young children, the fact that 40 women will die because of non-uptake of the HPV vaccine last year is startling.

Steps to Finding a Good Home Remodeling Contractor
If you've finally decided to take the plunge into a home remodeling project, finding the right contractor is one of the biggest challenges you'll have to face. This part can be quite intimidating if you've never done it before. But there's no need to worry. It's not quantum physics, but finding the right contractor does require a few careful considerations. Visit this website
for more information.
Personal Chemistry
First and foremost, find someone who makes you comfortable around them. Even the best contractor will not be good for you if you don't even get along! Does he pay attention when you talk about your plans for the project? Does he consider your ideas or does he dismiss them? The contractor may be the expert, but at the end of the day, you're still the boss.
Impressive Portfolio
Without a doubt, experience matters. Read online reviews and let your prospects provide references. Call these folks and listen to their stories about the contractor. If they can send over some pictures of the completed job, that should be great.
Good Work Ethics
Nobody wants a project that drags on unnecessarily. Hence, pick a contractor who is popular for high day-to-day productivity. Even if you don't do your research yet, you will be able to get clues. For example, does he show up on time for an appointment? Does he treat you with respect? When he enters your home, does he seem concerned about soiling your carpet? These are small things that can make a big difference in the results of your project.
License and Adequate Insurance Coverage
Accidents occur. When they do, you want to be protected from liability, whether it's property damage or an injury. The contractor should have a license and insurance, both liability and worker's compensation.
A Solid Bid
A solid bid is one that comes with a detailed breakdown of your material and labor costs, including profit margins and all other related expenses. Of course, you want to know exactly where your cash is going. The contractor should be fully attentive as you tell you what you want, and you should draw the plans together as a team.
Schedule of Payments
The payment schedule can vary from one contractor to another. In most cases, this is 10% at signing, three 25% payments at three evenly spaced intervals, and 15% upon completion. In any case, make sure the schedule is clear in the contract. Avoid anyone who asks for a minimum of 50% upfront. If you're not very sure, don't hesitate to ask for someone's help, perhaps a friend or relative who has more experience or knowledge with home remodeling contracts. Check

How to Buy Directly From ChinaIn the Internet age, it's easy to find Chinese suppliers for your import business. Business-to-business websites such as Alibaba.com, sz-wholesale.com, okokchina.com PromosMall.com. let you search for items you're interested in buying, or you can post a purchase request. If you find a suitable Chinese vendor, you begin negotiating. Finding a supplier is no guarantee of success, though. You have to check for quality, negotiate prices and be careful that everything you import conforms to U.S. law. Verify Everything Even if the supplier you found online looks like a perfect fit, that doesn't guarantee he's legitimate. Run a background check to confirm his company exists. Look for any charges of labor or environmental violations. A research service such as Globis or China Checkup can investigate the company for you. You can also contact a legal or accounting firm in China to do the research. If the company checks out,
Promotional USB Flash Drives - Buyer BewareWhen you think of the promotional USB flash drive industry what words come to mind? Deception, scandal, fraud? I am guessing no. However, for those looking to purchase customized USB drives those words may be closer to your reality than you think. Buyer beware, this is a perilous industry. The majority of USB drives come from China. Virtually no USB Wholesaler carries inventory. This means that they never physically see your product. Therefore, quality control is a serious issue and the possibility of receiving defective flash drives is pretty high. Below are some of the more common mistakes that wholesale USB consumers make and some advice that will help you avert these pitfalls: Penny Saver #1: Saving $100 can cost you $1000's! Do not put your brand in the hands of an untrustworthy USB provider. Problem #1: Buying low quality wholesale USB's can ruin your professional credibility! 90% of USB horror stories start right here.
What You Should Know When Looking For Wholesale Tool Distributors From ChinaImporting from wholesale tool distributors in China promises cheap buys and higher profit margin but is not without pitfalls. There are a few things sellers need to be aware when working with suppliers from China in order to establish lasting business relationship and trust. Payment The first thing sellers need to know is that most Chinese wholesale tool distributors only accept Western union and wired transfer as mode of payment. It is unsecured and hardly traceable. In the event of a dispute, most of the time, buyer will end up at the losing end. So why do these suppliers use Western union and wired transfer? This is because for majority of retailers in China, these are the only mode of payment they can use as it is not easy and straight forward to obtain credit cards in the country. Hence, majority of suppliers only accept these modes of payment. What can retailers from other countries do? Well, you can minimize th
Eco Friendly Water Bottles - A Step Towards Greening Your BusinessOkay, you're ready to start going green with your business, right? That's a smart move because these days customers are pretty keen on which businesses are good for the environment and which ones are lacking in the "green" world. And when your customers know that your business is eco friendly, they will be more likely to buy from you. They trust that you are a good business. Being eco friendly sends the right kinds of messages to your customers and potential customers. Maybe you have already been taking a few steps towards a green business. You could be giving away custom logo bags, which are great for the environment because they are reusable and some are even biodegradable. Or maybe you have been thinking about taking steps towards going green, but have not taking any action. A great step for any business that would make them a little greener would be to use promotional eco friendly water bottles. People, today, realize that drinking

Today the beauty bloggers of central Florida are coming together to share some Black and White themed posts. I could NOT resist joining them as Black and White is, and will always be, one of my favorite color combinations for nail art. Something about a well done, clean B&W design really just tickles my pickle.For this look I used mainly Milani shades. My base color is Milani White on the Spot. I went for a stamped design. I used Cheeky plate CH7 and Konad black special polish for the stamping. The final touch was to go back and add some dots to the centers of the patterns on my stamps. I used Milani Black Swift. I topped my nails off with a coat of Seche Vite. Simplicity FTW!
Check out the looks my girls came up with after the jump ♥.

In March 2015 there was a solar eclipse. A once or maybe twice in a lifetime event that most of us will be lucky if we are even aware of, let alone be able to see. And yet, with the odds stacked against him, ski photographer Reuben Krabbe set out on a most unique expedition to capture his dream shot.
His team comprised of pro-skiers Chris Reubens, Cody Townsend and Brody Leven, whom Krabbe hoped to capture in action during the eclipse. The unlikely combination of characters and their conflicting motivations provide an insightful account of one man's drive to achieve what most would right off as insanity.
Salomon, in partnership with Switchback Entertainment, documented the project and captured the drama and beauty of Northern Norway's Svalbard region. Their efforts won them Best Film: Snow Sports at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in November 2015.
We look forward to more award-winning clips from Salomons' Freeski TV series over the coming winter.

The Ottawa High School wrestling team is looking to finish strong. The Cyclones have put together some good regular seasons the past few years, but stumbled at the regional tournament.
�There is not a person in the room who has been to the state tournament,� Ottawa coach Joe Tokarz said. �I would really like to see some of these guys take that next step and at least qualify for state.�
Seniors Cale Paquette and Hunter Peoples were a match away from qualifying last year.
�You would love to see them make it in,� Tokarz said.
The Cyclone open the season Saturday at the Wamego Invitational, which is a pool dual format.
Ottawa is fighting the numbers game again this year.
�We may have bigger numbers, but I don�t know if our depth will be better,� Tokarz said. �I don�t know if we can fill out a full lineup.�
The coach said a couple of wrestlers could miss the whole season because of injuries. Tokarz also has 10 freshmen and other inexperienced wrestlers.
�We had five people at practice the other day with any varsity experience,� Tokarz said. �We have a handful of seniors this year.�
�� �The seniors are Alec Chenault, Conner Gross, Mickey Jensen, Paquette and Peoples. Chenault is new to the school this year. Tokarz said he is fitting in well with the Cyclones.
�Those [other] four have Ottawa varsity experience,� Tokarz said. �Hunter added quite a bit of weight this summer. He is looking to advance in weight class quite a bit.�
Other returners with varsity experience are Brandin Bell, Sam Carver, Brandon Nanninga, Caleb Parenti, Dalton Weidl and Franklin Windler.
�Three or four of them have opportunities they need to take advantage of,� Tokarz said.
Ottawa added a new tournament to the schedule. Ottawa will participate in the Clearwater Tournament in January. It took the place of the Prairie View Tournament.
Tokarz hopes the schedule allows Ottawa wrestlers to see some of the regional schools. Ottawa was assigned to the Tonganoxie regional, which features several Kansas City area schools along with Atchison and league foes.
�The issues we have, if you are not that elite wrestler, it is tough to get seeds at regional seeding meeting,� Tokarz said.
Ottawa will have back-to-back home dates in December. Ottawa wrestles duals with Tonganoxie and Santa Fe Trail on Dec. 13. The five seniors will be honored that night.
Two days later, the Cyclones participate in the OHS Invitational.
The Frontier League tourney will be in Ottawa in February.
�It will be a neat thing,� Tokarz said.
Former Cyclone standout Casey Black returns as an assistant coach.
�Casey is fantastic,� Tokarz said. �He was missed when he was gone. Casey is a great practice partner for our heavier kids. His ability to share is fantastic.�

It wasn't too many months later that my mother visited me. I was telling her this story, while we were driving past a boat yard. I'd just gotten to the part where my friend said he would help me build a Swampscott dory when I looked in the boatyard and there one was. I apologized to my mother as I put on the breaks and pulled into the boatyard.
There was the boat my friend and I were going to build – at least a smaller version of it. It was a 13-foot-5-inch Chamberlain dory designed by John Gardner based on dory-builder William Chamberlain's legendary boats. Gardner said of the boat, "For a rowing sea boat, you can't do much better within the 13-foot limit." I put that to the test many times in the 12 years I owned her and she took care of me every time. For several years I would row eight miles with the boat loaded with camping and archery equipment to bow hunt for elk on an island in Willapa Harbor. I once rowed into some of the steepest wind chop I've ever seen and she didn't ship a teaspoon of water. I also entered a 13-mile rowing race and came in third in the fixed-seat class even though my boat was the shortest in the race.
In the first few years I owned her I did a lot of tinkering: I lowered the rowing thwart and the stern seat, added a carved back rest for the stern seat and reinforced the front thwart to serve double duty as a mast partner. I also added a mast step and made a mast and sprit to convert her into a sailboat. The spritsail rig worked well and I decided that rather than complicate a wonderfully simple boat by adding a centerboard and rudder I would sail her peapod style by trailing the lee oar and shifting my weight to steer. It worked well thanks to a shallow, full-length keel that terminated in a generous skeg. The rig even allowed her to go to windward pretty well.
The boat works well with one or two adults and a couple of kids, was OK with three adults and could even accommodate three adults and two small kids. But when kids and grand kids visit I yearned for a larger boat and one actually designed for rowing and sailing. A longer boat would be faster and increase my range.

Metropolitan Highway System Investment Study
Project manager for a Minnesota study that investigated the long term implementation of managed lanes and active traffic management (ATM) projects as a build alternative to the regional long range transportation plan. Called "right-sizing" of the long-range plan, this study involved the identification of regional managed lane and ATM projects, defined performance parameters, modeled the strategies, and determined cost-effectiveness metrics for each of the corridors. The outcome of this legislatively-mandated study was an update to the Minneapolis / St. Paul area long-range transportation plan's highway investments and incorporation within short-term development proposals for Minnesota managed lanes system expansion.

During my stay in Paris I fell in love (again) with Toulouse-Lautrec so let's just stare at his wonderful works.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman and illustrator.

Get Your Finances Under Control. There is an Alternative to Bankruptcy.
How do I avoid bankruptcy? Is there an alternative to bankruptcy? Avoiding bankruptcy is possible. It might not seem like it if you feel like you're overwhelmed with debt, but you usually do have some options.
Bankruptcy should be a final resort. Before you make that step, take the time to consider any reasonable alternatives to bankruptcy.
While it would mean getting a financial fresh start, bankruptcy has significant effects on your life after you are discharged. It may affect your credit score and your ability to get a loan in the future.
You have several bankruptcy alternatives that should be considered before you figure out what the best option is for you.
1. Consult with a licensed insolvency trustee.
This should be the first thing you do, regardless of what option you are going to take. When it comes to avoiding bankruptcy, it is essential to get the help of a professional who can prevent you from taking unnecessary financial risks.
Your licensed Niagara insolvency trustee will help you figure out just how bad your situation is, and go through some of the debt management options available with you. They can help you create a plan for becoming debt-free and can help you understand your situation better.
Book a free consultation with a trustee for initial advice to begin the process before you do anything else.
2. Debt Settlement and Consolidation
Your licensed insolvency trustee will help you figure out if you can create a debt settlement plan based on the money you owe and who you owe it to. If you can manage loan payments per month, this might be an option through your financial institution.
Debt settlement involves negotiating with your creditors to create a different payment schedule or, in some cases, delaying immediate payments in favour of larger ones down the road.
It can bring you relief from high interest rates and requires budgeting help.
Debt consolidation means taking every bill and debt payment you owe and putting it into one new loan. It involves working with creditors to have them agree to either waive or lower interest rates based on what you can afford to pay per month.
3. Budget and Plan
Sometimes being able to pay off your debts just requires a reorganization of your budget and the creation of a financial plan to get you back on track with your loan repayments.
Figure out how much you need to pay back each month, then how much your living expenses are, and base a financial plan around these numbers. Sticking to this budget will allow you to make your payments every month without worry.
Creating a budget allows you to see the areas of your life that you could save money and use that money to go toward your debt payment. Living according to this budget means that you may have to make some sacrifices, like giving up your daily Starbucks habit or cancelling your cable bill to pay for electricity.
This might also mean some bigger sacrifices are necessary, like giving up your car and taking the bus instead or finding another job.
Sometimes if you have a useful hobby you can turn this into a way to make some extra cash to help pay off your debts.
Taking on extra work or another job will require a sacrifice of your free time, but it is sometimes the only debt management solution in sight before you have to turn to professional help. Think of it as a temporary situation until you've finished paying off your loans, bills, and debts.
4. Consumer Proposal
A consumer proposal is likely the last option you have before you decide to declare bankruptcy. It can reduce the amount of debt that you have to pay and consolidate it into a payment based on your income and assets.
You can file for a consumer proposal if your total debt is less than $250,000 and you can't repay your loans. You must also have a source of income.
Once the court and creditors approve your consumer proposal, you have to make your monthly payments or you risk defaulting under the proposal, which could leave bankruptcy as the only remaining option.

to Ritherdon
Established in 1895, we have been manufacturing a variety of electrical enclosures and related products for many decades. A combination of a passion for innovation with close working relationships with our customers means that we are continually developing and expanding our product ranges. These are some of the industries we work with and products that we manufacture:
Industrial metering panels for the electricity supply industry, for which we solved the problem of meter box repair with our door and frame units back in the 1970s.
In recent years (since deregulation back in the 1990s) we make most of our meter box repair units for the social housing providers. Most recently, along with the Leeds ALMOs, we came up with the idea for the FireSeal and this is expanding into our range of passive fire safety products.
More recently we developed our feeder pillar and service cabinet ranges for the highways and street lighting sectors (including prewired). A passion for innovation has led to continual development of our product range and we have recently introduced the crash-tested, passively safe cabinet.
Our stainless steel electrical enclosures are also used in many other applications where electrical or electronic equipment needs protecting from the elements, from solar photovoltaic farms in the UK to oil wells in Saudi Arabia.
So, please explore the site and if you don't find just what you want, then please contact us to discuss a solution because, at some point in our 120 year history, we will probably have already made one.
With over 120 years behind us, our history is vast and varied. Take a trip down memory lane…read more

"We have just received our first delivery from Ritherdon. The standard of the terminals boxes was to a very high quality and delivery time was as quoted. So far the service has been excellent and I look forward to working with Ritherdon again in the future."

Ritherdon replacement doors and frames are a superb solution to an ever increasing problem, with a price tag that allows the budget to be stretched beyond reactive maintenance.
Asset Manager: Housing Association
Thank you to all who were involved in supplying the stainless steel enclosures for our UTC network. The delivery was excellent and the project is now being commissioned.
UTC Local Authority
Ritherdon are a regular provider of electrical enclosures to Jenoptik Traffic Solutions UK and they really came through for us recently. A last minute scheme design change meant that we required 4 feeder pillars to be painted and shipped in less than 3 days. Having discussed our requirements with 2 very courteous members of the Ritherdon Sales Team (Katie and Daniela) we were delighted to be advised that our request could be accommodated. Ritherdon ended up bettering our expectation of 3 days by completing our request and shipping the equipment out within 24 hours. This level of customer service is as good as it gets.
Richard - Jenoptik
I have dealt with Ritherdon & Co Ltd for a number of years now. I am very happy with the service they give. The quality of their product is always consistent and to a high standard. They are always happy to help with any given situation. The staff are very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.
Buyer: Tapeswitch Ltd
We have used your products for a number of years now and found them to be good quality and competitively priced. We have also found the delivery of the items we use the most of (meter cupboard replacements and door replacements) to be extremely fast which has added us in providing a quick repair service to our residents.
Shawn Greenfield
Just fitted a R17 door and frame to my meter box & it is a great, well made and easy to install product. I am not a DIY person so always sceptical when something says 10 minutes to fit but in this case it was not wrong, in place and tools put away again in just about 10 minutes.
Having traded with Ritherdon for many years, I continue to be well pleased with the quality and design of enclosure purchased for highway electrical services! Particularly impressive has been the friendly and excellent customer support. In fact when considering how quickly Ritherdon have fulfilled orders, we find it difficult to even consider looking elsewhere!

Baltimore Youth Television celebrates its fifth year tonight with a showing of 10 short video productions by its middle- and high-school-age filmmakers.
Organized by the Maryland Institute, College of Art in 1994, the program originally put 33 students from city middle schools through a four-month video production course held on Saturdays.
Since then, it has expanded to include Northern High School students attending a summer program at the Johns Hopkins University, as well as groups of alumni of the BYTV program who attend courses at MICA to continue producing videos.

Stock market averages posted incredible performances in the week ending March 13. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index both gained approximately 11 percent after reaching multi-year lows on Monday of that week.
The S&P 500 had destroyed 12 years' worth of gains at its lowest point. The Nasdaq traded at a six-year low and about 75 percent below its all-time high, reached almost nine years ago.
The old-economy Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 9 percent for the week. The biggest gainer of the week was the Russell 2000 Index of small companies, which increased 12 percent.
Optimism has rapidly replaced pessimism on CNBC and on many financial web sites. Investors are notoriously fickle and anxiously look for signs of a market bottom, with many believing that such large gains over such a short time are unprecedented.
After such a big move, the logical question to ask is, "Has a new bull market started?"
Remember the "dead cat bounce." Traders spend a lot of time on the exchange floor and to pass the hours, at times, they can come up with unique descriptions of market action. Often the type of rally we just experienced is called a "dead cat bounce."
This colorful phrase describes the hopefully untested belief that even a dead cat will bounce if it is dropped from a high enough level.
Since the start of the year, the stock market has certainly experienced a sudden drop from what was a higher level of prices. After falling so hard, it was due for a bounce. But it will take an improving economy to make that bounce into anything more than a short rally.
History tells us that we should remain cautious. The Dow has risen by at least 9 percent in a week 19 times since 1920. The week after that rise, the index was higher less than half of the time, and a month later the Dow was able to add to its big gains just over half the time.
In fact, the Dow normally increases over a week's time. It shows a weekly gain 53 percent of the time and a monthly gain 58 percent of the time. The average market performance after a big gain like we just saw is actually lower than average.
Other indexes, such as the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq Composite, show the same historical pattern. We use the Dow for testing here because it has the longest history.
Prior to last week's rally, the market had become deeply oversold. Technicians look for a relief rally after such a prolonged period of selling.
One reason for this is that short sellers are sitting on large profits and get nervous at the first sign of a rally. Taking their profits requires them to buy the stocks they are short.
The initial buying can drive prices higher and convince other shorts to cover their trades. In the end, the market goes up, but this is not the basis of a sustainable bull market.
Traders know that only fools try to pick bottoms and tops. There is a lot of money to be made by catching the middle of the trend. The smart money, though, is waiting on the sidelines for the market to prove itself. There will still be plenty of rewards available to the cautious if this is really a new bull market.
Cautious investors should be waiting for the averages to break above their long-term moving averages before buying stocks. Aggressive traders can buy at current levels but have tight stops in place in case things go wrong.

Note: This is the first reaction post to No Ordinary Family. Not The Event. Just so there is no confusion here. And it will be spoiler-y, so hold off if you haven't seen it yet.
This is my second time watching the pilot of No Ordinary Family (it was on ABC.com back in August, I believe?) so I guess I have a slight advantage over the other bloggers.
First off, I really don't like this show. It feels like a forty-minute movie rather than a television episode (see how everything tied up so nicely at the end? And the 'Bad Guys' looking at the body? Just the cliff-hanger for the sequel; coming to theaters near you next summer!) and it definitely did not impress me during either of my watches. I felt like the acting was overdone or exaggerated in places and not fully realized in others. I feel like the script was hilarious, but the way the actors delivered the lines made it sound mundane and weak. The story doesn't seem to have much potential in my opinion - how far can you go on a family that has super powers? Debates on whose is cooler? What they are going to do next with them? How to get rid of them? I'm sure they can come up with some ideas, but I'm not sure how much they will be worth. And since we're all (or most of us) LOST fans, I feel like we want an intelligent program with lots of questions/mysteries. No Ordinary Family had exactly two: how they got their powers (answered) and who are the 'Bad Guys' after them (not answered)?
The one thing I really enjoyed was the effects used. The lighting in the water was incredible - it kind of looked like a scene out of Avatar - and the plane crash was excellently executed. When JJ saw the equation lighting up on the board, it really highlighted (Har, har) what was going on. Even the speed-running was awesome. The opening credits were really lame though - what credits last five seconds? - and the closing credits were nonexistent. Oh, well.
In a battle of No Ordinary Family vs The Event, I'm placing my money on the latter.

Dita Von Teese is a total Class Act. Not only is she a gorgeous performer with the ULTIMATE in glamour acts, but she's a real sweetheart, and completely down to Earth.
Recently, she took the time to share some lovely words about The Atomic Bombshells with producer and founder of the Bombshells, Kitten LaRue.
"It's been my pleasure to share the stage with some of the performers of the Atomic Bombshells over the years. As burlesque's revival unfolds on an international scale, it can be increasingly difficult to know which acts are the ones to see. Kitten LaRue offers her audience polished, clever, and glamorous striptease acts, a wonderful representation of modern burlesque in Seattle." - Dita Von Teese
Thanks Dita, we look forward to seeing your next Burlesque venture!
Guuurl...look at you...so bad-ass!

Help Deptford Cinema petition Lewisham Council for rate relief/
The community-focused and community-run Deptford Cinema, which stepped into the gap left by the closure of all cinemas in Lewisham borough, is currently running a petition asking Lewisham's council to grant it rate relief. The cinema is facing trying times given it has not been granted the same relief status as other community-focused businesses and charities. Running a cinema with volunteers is tough under any circumstances, and rate relief to acknowledge this would be a much needed lifeline.
You can read more about the cinema here and sign the petition here.
Disclaimer time! The Smoke Screen has programmed a few films at the cinema, and can testify to the commitment of all involved in serving the local community with a diverse and affordable selection of films and events.

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Mar 4, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: This is a sermon dealing with how we go about making choices. I preached it in response to our church's decision over changing denominations.
In order for us to have arrived here today, we all had to make choices. A choice to get up. A choice to get dressed. A choice to leave the house. A choice to take a certain route. A choice to enter the building. A choice to take a seat and a choice to remain here. Right now we're making choices to either listen or to tune out. The thing about choices is that it's hard to tell when a choice is small and insignificant and when it's not.
The choice to stop and get a bag of chips at the convenience store could be nothing more than you picking up a bag of chips and going on about your business. Or it could become a life changing event if the person behind the counter is love at first sight, and you marry the person. It could be equally life changing if you happen to walk into a robbery that's taking place, and you're shot and left paralyzed. How many of you have said, if only I had waited 5 more minutes or left 5 minutes sooner.
When it comes to choices, we are all going to make some really good ones, and there are going to be times we make some bad ones. On the tv program Let's Make a Deal, the tv host would often give a person a wad of money and say, you can keep the money or you can have what's behind door number 1, door number 2 or door number 3. Usually what was behind one of the doors would be worth 5 times the amount of cash given. But often behind one of those doors there was something worth less than the amount of money you traded in. Your desire for more could leave you with a lot less.
Most of us want to make the right choices. We want to make choices with the ability to see into the future. Nobody wants to marry the wrong person. Nobody wants to go to the wrong school. Nobody wants to buy the wrong car. Nobody wants to prepare for the wrong career. Nobody enters high school wanting to be a drop out. But these things happen because of choices that we make. Sometimes choices seem to take on a life all their own? Have you ever looked at your situation and said, "how on earth did I get myself into this mess?" It all started with making just a few simple choices.
When we look in our homes, we can see the tension that is produced by the choices that we make. Some of us produce unnecessary strife and tension in our homes over own pet pieves we have, because of choices that we made. In our home growing up as kids, when it came to Christmas decorations, they had to be down by January 1.
I don't know what would happen if they were not, but obviously something would, because we made sure they were down. My wife's family did not even know such a rule existed. Do you know how much stress I caused in our home for years over getting rid of the Christmas stuff before New Year's Day. Here she was trying to enjoy the holiday spirit as long as possible, and there I was trying to end it on time.
Now I was making a choice to cause the stress, but was blaming my wife for trying to hold on to the decorations. You know what I discovered. My choice was a stupid one. I was destroying a relationships for the sake of holding on to a rule that did not matter one way or the other. This year I was so liberated from that rule that it was February before I put away the final decorations away.
Some of us are making choices in our family that are producing stress, resentment and anger, and we're blaming the wrong person. Say to your neighbor, "you know I just might be causing part of the problem." Some of the things we insist must be done right now, really could wait until later. Some of them do not need to be done at all. A good part of life is knowing what battle to fight and the choice to simply let something go. You've got a choice on how much stress you're going to produce in your home. Each one of us is either choosing to add stress to our family or we are reducing it. Our way is not the only way for something to get done.
In our Old Testament reading we came across an uncle and a nephew who had both become very wealthy. Wealth then was not measured in terms of stocks and bonds, but sheep and cattle. That's where your food came from as well as your designer clothes. Abraham and Lot had so many sheep and cattle, that the there was not enough land for the animals to feed and drink. When Abraham's servants found some water to drink, Lot's servants would try to muscle in and take over the well for their animals. When Lot's servants found some fresh grazing area, Abraham's servants would try to put their animals their first. The choices they were making was causing a lot of friction and tension between the servants.
