Kristen Stewart claims his homosexuality for the first time on TVIt's hard to speak to a five-year period in a few sentences, but I loved doing it. "We broke up then we got back together, and for some reason it made Donald Trump go insane ".

text: I was hit by a car when I was younger and I kind of wonder if that is where this comes knee issue comes from. My left knee is always aching and It really never seems to get much worse but starting back again I feel like I can't put much pressure on it yet. I have had somewhat strong legs in the past squating 275 for 5 reps which for my 5'4" height and 150lb weight at the time seemed good. My question is can I stretch or warm up my knee in any way that might help with the aggravation starting to work out again is causing? Ive been out of the gym for almost 2 years now.

Summary: We have to make sure we are making a positive impact on our family, because they are the ones we are around the most, plus they have been given to us or put into our life, so that we can minster to them, witness to them!
Matthew 10:5-10-These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts,
10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.
Go Into The Way Of The Gentiles-They were to go to a specific people, they were to focus on those people, they were to minister to those people!
You and I are to minster too, focus on and be a witness too, to specific people, I believe it starts with our family!
We have to make sure we are making a positive impact on our family, because they are the ones we are around the most, plus they have been given to us or put into our life, so that we can minster to them, witness to them!
Then from there we spread out to our friends, our coworkers, those people we meet in our daily routine.
Just like a stone being thrown in the water, it has a ripple affect!
Preach, Saying, 'The Kingdom Of Heaven Is At Hand-Not only were they to go to a particular people, but they were to have particular message!
Now, we have a message to tell, and the great thing is we don't have to stand behind a pulpit to tell!
We don't need to wait for them to come to us, before we can tell it, matter of fact, we are to go to them in the first place!
What is that message that we are proclaiming, you may ask?
1-John 3:16-For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Doesn't matter who you are, or how bad you are or how bad you think you are, everyone desires love, that's where we need to start!
The kingdom is at hand because Jesus came to us, to die on the cross for our sins!
2- Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The other thing that we need to share with them is there is a penalty for sin!
There are two alternatives to where you will spend eternity! Heaven or Hell!
This can also be a positive reminder, just because there is so much injustice in the world, doesn't mean it is going to stay that way….There is a payday, some day!
3- Psalm 39:4-5- "LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath." (NLT)
We are to remind people how short life is, someone can be here one day and the next day be gone!
That our time on this old earth is limited!
If we are going to make a decision for the Lord, we must do it today!
If we are going to serve the Lord, we must do it today!
Freely You Have Received, Freely Give.
God may ask you to do a lot of different stuff, for a lot of different people!
You are always to remember, to give what is required of you, what is asked of you, because ever thing you got, or will have, has been given to you!!
Whatever you give up, or give to others, God can replace, God will repay!
You cannot, nor will you ever be able to out give God!
Just remember this….It was never yours to keep anyway!!!
For A Worker Is Worthy Of His Food
God always takes care of His own!!
If you will take care of His work, He will take care of you!!
Matthew 6:33-But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

If there is one thing I am afraid of, its failure.
This forces me to keep my head down, ignore my ideas, or try to distribute decision making protecting my own fragile ego. Failure is something that is really hard for me to swallow, and it leaves this real level of anxiety in my life that is not very enjoyable.
I have often tried to cultivate some deeper friendships with people, but when the going gets a bit tough, when it seems like they may not be that interested in having a close relationship, when I sense a little bit of rejection I give up on the whole thing and go an sulk in a corner.
And then complain that I have no friends.
I have an idea for a play that I would like to write, and maybe even showcase at some point here in town. But I am not sure if I can write a play, or if it would be any good, or how it would be accepted by others in my life; my family, my church community, etc.
So I don't write it.
I just don't try.
There are many other ways that anxiety plays havoc in my life, and I do not think I am alone in this.
We worry that if we confront our spouse about the way their behaviour is making us feel, their behaviour will become worse, or they might up and leave us, so we remain quiet.
We worry that if we properly discipline our children, they might dislike us, so we abdicate our parental responsibilities and try to be their friends instead.
We worry that if we float our ideas at work, or if we take a stand at school, or if we confront our friend about their destructive behaviour we might fail.
So we do nothing.
And guarantee our failure.
The message of Christmas is that there is another way to live. A way full of hope and promise. A way that is not controlled by fear, because fear has to do with punishment, but a way of confidence.
John puts it this way.
"Also, we've seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God's Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we've embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God." (1 John 4:14–16, The Message)
God sent his son as Saviour of the world, and everyone who confesses that truth participates in an intimate relationship with God.
"God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ's. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love. " (1 John 4:17–18, The Message)
Fear is crippling, but a life fully formed in love is free of fear.
A life filled with God's love is free from worry about the judgement of others. Free from the constant anxiety. Free to do our best and trust that no matter what happens, God will never leave us.
May God's love form a life free of fear in us, because love is greater than fear.

When Amanda told me she wanted to put bungee jumping on her bucket list, I was all, "Yeah, okay. You have fun with that."
She added this to other things I would not partake in, like skydiving and riding in a hot air balloon.
My initial thought was that Amanda's body is too soft and messed up to handle bungee jumping. This made me curious and I googled, "People who have Down Syndrome who have done Bungee Jumping." But the results were mostly of people who were doing it as fundraisers for folks with disabilities. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who fits this description, and what they thought of it, so I can someday let Amanda know.
I have no question if given the opportunity, Amanda would do it. She would strap on the harness, make sure her knee brace was in place, hand me her wig, take a deep breath and step off the platform, and I would hear her bowel-wrenching roar all the way to the first bounce.
Then she would be dangling from the cable at the bottom, swinging upside down, yelling my name and telling me how great it is, and I should try it.
No, thank you! *shudder*
When I took her to Cedar Point, she got really mad at me because I wouldn't go on even the tamest of those rides. I enjoyed walking around with her though. And my ex was not afraid to accompany her on the gut-sucking roller coasters. The pictures were hilarious. Amanda's face, with her bald head and her mouth that big, half-moon hole, and her eyes bulging, could rival any cartoon character.
She is a prime example, a master of Living In the Moment.
Amanda has Down syndrome and is currently being held by her guardian, who is not allowing us to have contact. Today, March 27 it is 8 months since I have spoken with my sister. I am doing a portrait of her every day until I hear from Amanda.
"I'm the guardian and you're not." That's the reason her guardian gave when he refused Amanda's request to visit me in summer 2016.
A few warning signals of guardianship abuse:
1. The guardian and/or conservator treats you as an outsider instead of a relative, friend, or loved one.
2. The guardian/conservator sees to it that your loved one doesn't have a phone.
3. When you visit, the guardian "hovers" or even employs someone to hover so you're not alone with your loved one.
4. You are denied input about your loved one's care – the doctor won't talk to you – you are shut out.
5. The guardian/conservator refuses to take your call or answer your questions.
6. Your loved one doesn't get his/her mail.
7. If your loved one is in a nursing home, you're only allowed to visit in the dining room or recreation room.
8. You start seeing questionable documents and realize financial accounts are closed or changed and the statements have been diverted to the guardian/conservator.
9. You discover the taxes haven't been paid — or even filed.
10. The nursing facility tells you when you visit, you "upset" your family member or upset the staff.
11. Items are missing from your loved one's home.
12. Your loved one appears to be more sluggish, perhaps even dazed.
The days of guardians running the show are coming to an end. There is help available. Click the link below:

Investigation of bone quality of the first and second sacral segments amongst trauma patients: concerns about iliosacral screw fixation
Investigation of bone quality of the first and second sacral segments amongst trauma patients: concerns about iliosacral screw fixation - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
, Volume 16, Issue 4, pp 301–308
First Online: 28 May 2015Received: 14 November 2014Accepted: 10 May 2015
BackgroundIliosacral screw fixation has become a common method for surgical stabilization of acute disruptions of the pelvic ring. Placement of iliosacral screws into the first sacral S1 body is the preferred method of fixation, but size limitations and sacral dysmorphism may preclude S1 fixation. In these clinical situations, fixation into the second sacral S2 body has been recommended. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone quality of the S1 compared to S2 in the described -safe zone- of iliosacral screw fixation in trauma patients.
Materials and methodsThe pelvic computed tomography scans of 25 consecutive trauma patients, ages 18–49, at a level 1 trauma center were prospectively analyzed. Hounsfield units, a standardized computed tomography attenuation coefficient, was utilized to measure regional cancellous bone mineral density of the S1 and S2. No change in the clinical protocol or treatment occurred as a consequence of inclusion in this study.
ResultsA statically significant difference in bone quality was found when comparing the first and second sacral segment p = 0.0001. Age, gender, or smoking status did not independently affect bone quality.
ConclusionIn relatively young, otherwise healthy trauma patients there is a statistically significant difference in the bone density of the first sacral segment compared to the second sacral segment. This study highlights the need for future biomechanical studies to investigate whether this difference is clinically relevant. Due to the relative osteopenia in the second sacral segment, which may impact the quality of fixation, we feel this technique should be used with caution.

*Serena Williams reached her seventh Wimbledon semi-final today by beating China's Na Li 7-5, 6-3.
The win on Centre Court came shortly after older sister Venus was knocked out earlier by Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova, spoiling chances of an all-Williams final.
Serena had 11 aces during the match, won 85 percent of her first-serve points and only double faulted once. She has now garnered more than double the amount of aces than any other female in the tournament.
Li, an accomplished player on grass, had 19 unforced errors in comparison to Serena's six. Li also double faulted five times. Serena broke Li's serve four times throughout the match.
With Venus and reigning U.S. Open champ Kim Clijsters having been eliminated Tuesday, Serena is the heavy favorite to win Wimbledon. Other than Serena, there are no players left in the Wimbledon field seeded in the top 20.

The H1N1 flu strand has accounted for the majority of cases across the U.S. this flu season. The H1N1 strand was responsible for deaths from all over the world during the 2009 flu season. So far for the 2013 flu season, there have been 32 deaths reported in the U.S., in which six involved children. The flu has drastically peaked in both the Southern and Southeastern Regions, which include Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia and North Carolina. California and Arizona have reported only minimal cases of influenza. The Northeastern Region, including the New England states, also has not reported a major flu outbreak. Though the flu virus has not been labeled a pandemic for this season, more people are prone to the H1N1 virus strand and have to miss work for being sick. Children also have to stay home to avoid spreading the virus to others.
To safeguard against the flu, it is important to be educated about flu symptoms in order to properly recognize it. Flu symptoms can include body aches, chills, high fever and scratchy throat. If not properly treated, the symptoms will worsen and include runny and stuffy nose, and sneezing.
Despite the wide spread of the flu in the U.S., health experts say it's not too late to get a flu shot. A flu shot is a surefire way to prevent getting influenza. This is also true for people with weak immune systems due to an underlying illness. Children, the elderly and pregnant women are urged to get the flu shot to prevent complications. For those who already have the flu, antiviral treatment can help combat flu symptoms. In addition, other ways to avoid spreading the flu to others include:
- Always wash hands using antibacterial soap and warm water. An alternative to soap and water is using alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Always wash hands after using the restroom, especially a public restroom. If a person is working in the food industry, it's definitely a priority to wash hands.
- Use hand sanitizer after pumping gas in an automobile; a variety of people touch gas nozzles at gas pumps.
- Visit a healthcare provider immediately if flu-like symptoms are noticeable.
- Stay home until flu symptoms are gone. This is especially important if a person's job involves constant people interaction and touching office equipment.
- Keep children home if they are sick.
- Use disinfect wipes to clean shared areas and always wash hands if living with someone who has the flu.
- Wear a face make to prevent the flu from spreading by coughing and sneezing in the event that a person must go to work or school.
- Wash hands or use hand sanitizer after holding hands or shaking hands with people.
As the H1N1 flu strand continues to spread across the U.S., it's important to protect the immune system from the flu virus and show respect for others by staying home if experiencing flu symptoms.

Inspired by many villages around the UK, Heptonstall is to host its very own advent street calendar trail!
From the December 1 to the Christmas Eve, December 24, windows in Heptonstall will be lit up each evening, with seasonal themed decorations and art.
Anybody wishing to enter can register their names and addresses, and which day they would like to unveil, at the Post Office. Each day's window address will be shown the night before in the Post Office window, said Ruth Netherwood, one of the organisers.
"No great art is required, just whatever you want to do to light up Heptonstall. This is not a competition, it's just for fun," she said.
"The only requirement is that windows can be viewed from the road or paths to avoid people traipsing in and out of your yard or garden!"

Before we really settled in to our house, I took meetings with new clients at coffee shops. It definitely wasn't my favorite. Finding a good table wasn't easy, it was always loud and so awkward staring people down as they walked through the door to try to figure out if they were the ones I was meeting. It was a few years into my business before I really transformed the formal living room into a meeting space. Best.Decision.Ever. It's quiet, the coffee is great and I'm positive that the first couple walking in the door is the couple I'm waiting for.
I didn't think I'd made too many changes here in the last few years, but I just recently saw a photo from the Glitter Guide feature (and a few more on this post) and realized it's almost completely different! I'm on the hunt for a new coffee table, but I'm so happy with how this room has slowly transformed. A little less antique, slightly more modern and so many colors! And even more functional! When McC was born, we juggled all of our rooms and the studio pulls double-duty as my office too. A much more efficient use of the space and that ENORMOUS cabinet. So, a little update on the studio space!

I started watching this by accident, as I was looking for a scary film I could just turn off after 5 minutes for it being too scared.
It all starts with a house. A house that's being sold to a couple who has had a rough time coping with all kind of things. What those things are, unrevels itself during the season (duh), but with interesting twists and turns during the whole process.
One that I loved was where the camera goes from one angle to the other to show the different views from both the husband and the wife.
There's a few funny things about this series:
1) each season can be watched seperate from ever having seen the other seasons.
2) the actors playing the parts return into the same kind of character (but different roles) each season
3) not every season is as entertaining.
Watching the first season, which has a rich sauce of The Others, The Sixth Sense and The House of Spirits amongst it, I was immediately captivated with the first episode. This disappeared for a while, then it got interesting again. In my opinion: watch the first episode, then skip to 4th or 5th one.
The humour in this series is priceless. It's extremely dark in certain episodes (this will be even worse at continuing seasons), but for who is into that, this series rocks at times.
My review about Season 2 is rather short: I didn't like it that much, as it's solely based on abuse of power within an asylum run by church people (nuns, priests).
It hardly has any 'X-Files' touch to it. It does, just not in a way that fits the season in my opinion.
I didn't find much humour in it, so I skipped over most of the bits. It could be I missed a few spots because of that, sorry.

Government Relations Report Issue 60Fall 2006 CSANews Issue 60 | Posted date : May 30, 2007.Back to list
A common political misconception is that when federal, provincial and territorial legislatures adjourn for the summer, not much happens on the political front…this is not so.
Although our elected representatives are not preoccupied with the daily debate of the legislative chamber, the majority of them spend their summers on the"barbeque circuit" listening to the concerns of their constituents. Engaging our politicians in settings that are a little more relaxed and a little less formal provide great opportunities to convey the concerns of our members, and we have certainly taken advantage of those opportunities this past summer.
In June, CSA president Gerry Brissenden and our second vicepresident Nancy Hopcraft met with federal NDP leader Jack Layton to discuss many issues that are of concern to our members. This was the first time Mr. Layton has met with the associationsince becoming leader of the party.Later in June, this meeting was followed up with a visit to the CSA offices by Ms. Chris Charlton, MP for the riding of Hamilton Mountain, and the federal NDP's critic for pensions and seniors' issues. Topics of discussion in these meetings included the portability section of the Canada Health Act, preservation of health coverage for frequent travellers, and timely and affordable access to secure travel documents such as your Canadian passport. Gerry also discussed these topics in a meeting with Bruce Stanton,the Conservative MP for Simcoe North.
You can find a more detailed examination of these important issues in the president's report.
One of our Ontario directors – Bob Slack – had a busy summer meeting with elected officials all over eastern Ontario. In August, Bob met with Ontario Liberal cabinet minister the Hon. John Gerretsen to discuss our recently released 2006 edition of the Canadian Travellers' Report Card. Bobhad a similar meeting with Ontario Conservative MPP Bob Runciman. As Bob Slack well knows, it's important to meet with our elected officials on both sides of the legislative chamber as the opposition members of today may well be the governmentmembers of tomorrow.
As you read in the summer issue of CSANews and again here in the fall issue, it was a busy summer on the political front for the association.
Not to worry – now that we are heading into the fall, we have no intention of getting complacent. As of writing this report, we have appointments scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Gordon Campbell, the premier of British Columbia, and John Tory, the Ontario Conservative Opposition leader.
We also have Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman and federal Health Minister Tony Clement on our radar this fall, so stay tuned.

McBride of Dracula has posed some awkward questions for the Emissary from Planet Fuck
21 Sep 2013 at 12:09
An old friend, Michael Boulter, the professor of Palaeontology who discovered the lost continent of Atlantis, (honest!!!) asked me over lunch a couple of days ago what the point of Party Conferences was. I was stumped for an answer. He then suggested that in the Middle Ages people went on pilgrimages in search of salvation, conviviality and that in the fifties Party Conferences fulfilled vaguely the same sort of role.
But who in their right mind wants to pay a small fortune to stay in a ghastly B and B to listen to set piece speeches on motions organised by spin doctors? And there's the rub. By and large people in their right minds don't want to go. MPs hate the bloody things and usually swan in for a day to take their Constituency worthies for dinner. The only normal people who roll up are the journalists and the corporate guys who find it all a bit of a chore.
And to the public they are of mind erasing irrelevance,
So my answer to Michael was the only purpose I could see for them was the shagging. Of which the Tories, of course, excel. Something for everyone's taste, shed loads of attractive girls and pretty boys. You could cut the testosterone in the air with a knife.
But this weekend I have rather changed my mind. The conference season has become rather exciting. All right, the Lib Dems were predictably dull with a completely bonkers plan to spend about £400 million on giving free school meals to all primary school kids. Evidently this was the pork barrel roll in return for an equally bonkers Tory plan to 'reward' marriage for a bribe of £150. As far as bribes go this doesn't even appear on the cash for questions seismometer. You might as well blow it all on a horse for the good it will do. But the right have to feel as if they are doing something to keep the KIPPERS at bay.
And now to the KIPPER conference. What an absolute joy and it is still going on!!! Poor old Godfrey Bloom has been hung out to dry for his sluts remark. Stephan Nolan played the clip on the show last night and it really was an attempt at a joke which went down fairly well. But thumping Michael Crick with an election Manifesto (discuss) is the the final nail in Bloom's coffin. But he is only vaguely deranged. Nolan did an interview last night with Roger Helmer and asked him about the commitment to ban the Burka. He wasn't aware of it. Dear old Rog hadn't read the manifesto. "I'm the energy spokesman ask me any question on that", he wailed. Nolan just went in for the kill. It was wonderful radio.
And we mustn't forget Farage had a bit of a pasting for as he evidentially thought at one time that Hitler was not such a bad egg, sang Hitler youth songs and alarmed his teachers at Dulwich College for racist views when he was seventeen. "Well, we all say nasty things when we are young?"
Do we?
And then the cherry on the cake was the naughty boys at the beeb have been up to their tricks. There was a 'technical' fault in an interview and a Hitler moustache mysteriously appeared above the Farage lip.
So the conference that was to show UKIP as a serious party has been a splendid farce. And a gift for David Cameron.
But the prize for the most disastrous start has to go to Labour. Everyone knew that the McBride book of poison was to be serialised on the eve of the conference so couldn't Miliband spinners have done rather better than bring forward some half baked welfare reforms and an off the wall Harman plan to let grannies share maternity leave? Oh, and plan not to increase taxes for those who earn £60K a year. Now that will give comfort to the low paid.
All of us in the press knew what Brown's gangsters were up to. Of course, those who wrote about it were vilified. But to read the knifings and political executions in black and white is a true gothic horror story. The way the Brown machine was run borders on the evil. Threats, political human sacrifices, smears, sackings and lie after lie. All for what? To propel Brown into Number 10. And that was worth the wait wasn't it?
It will be spun that Miliband knew nothing about it. This is nonsense. Of course he knew how the operation worked as he was a key member of Team Brown. Ali Campbell used to refer to him as the emissary from Planet Fuck.
To be honest, I doubt whether Miliband was actively smearing the Blairites in the way McBride was, but he stood by and watched it happen. How could any decent person want to work in such a repellant environment? So much energy spent on hatred and malice.
And they are still at it, doing their best to exorcise the party of all things Blair.
The McBride book in all its chilling awfulness has awoken some strange emotions in me. I am beginning to feel very sorry for Alastair Campbell and Peter Mandelson. They must have felt that they were in the seventh circle of hell.

An attempt to open the door to unlimited gambling in South Dakota was rejected Wednesday morning by a committee of the Legislature.
The decision came amid revelations that the proposalÂ?s prime sponsor has business ties to the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe.
The House State Affairs Committee voted 10-3 to kill a proposed constitutional amendment sponsored by Senate Democratic leader Scott Heidepriem of Sioux Falls.
The measure, SJR 1, had previously passed in the Senate. Heidepriem wanted to put the proposal on the 2010 statewide election ballot.
Heidepriem said the amendment was intended to deter construction of an Iowa casino a short drive from Sioux Falls.
But Rep. Kristi Noem, R-Castlewood, directly questioned Heidepriem whether his firm or he has any financial ties to someone with an interest in the amendment.
Â?My law firm?Â? Heidepriem responded. Â?I have no idea what youÂ?re talking about, Rep. Noem. I donÂ?t know if my firm does any work in the gaming industry.Â?
Â?I just wanted to know if thatÂ?s something we need clarification on today,Â? Noem said.
House Democratic leader Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton said itÂ?s not appropriate to question the motives of legislators.
Â?The suggestion that I would promote legislation because my firm has an interest in it is stunning to me,Â? Heidepriem said.
During the committeeÂ?s discussion about the bill, Noem said HeidepriemÂ?s law firm is representing Â?someone looking for expansion of gaming in the state.Â?
Â?I would believe there are other motivating factors here. There are ties that havenÂ?t come to light yet,Â? she said.
The Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe operates a casino at Flandreau northeast of Sioux Falls and is engaged in a lawsuit against Gov. Mike Rounds in an attempt to get more slot machines than the 250 allowed in the existing tribal-state gambling compact.
Federal court records show that three lawyers from the firm of Johnson, Heidepriem, Abdallah & Johnson filed notices on Feb. 6 they are appearing as additional counsel for the tribe in the lawsuit.
Those lawyers are Steven Johnson, Ronald Parsons Jr. and Shannon Falon.
One of the co-sponsors of the proposed amendment is Sen. Gene Abdallah, R-Sioux Falls. Scott Abdallah, his son, is one of the firmÂ?s named partners.

Before Dawn (1933)
This was a pretty good short movie. It is only an hour long but they pack a lot into that hour. On his deathbed Joe Valerie tells his doctor where to find the million dollars he and his gang stole and hid 15 years earlier. When one of the women guarding his fortune turns up dead - after claiming to see his ghost - the doctor, police and a clairvoyant all must unravel the mystery. While not the best mystery it was entertaining. I figured it out right at the beginning which I do not do very often. My only major complaint is not with the movie itself but with the quality of the actual film. I recorded this off Turner Classic Movies and the dialogue cut of three times for about 15-20 seconds each. Not major but I expected more from TCM. All in all though this is a fun movie to watch.

Irrigators: Nowhere to Go But to Court?by Staff
Tri-City Herald, August 15, 2003
Usually, groups such as the Columbia-Snake River Irrigators are wise to argue their views on what's being done to help struggling fish runs without resorting to legal maneuvers.
Salmon recovery is best decided by biologists, not judges, and those concerned with it are usually best off working out their differences outside the courthouse.
But to make your case, you have to go where the forum is. And for now the discussion about what to do about salmon is headquartered in a Portland federal courtroom, where Judge James Redden ruled in May that the federal government's plan to save Columbia and Snake river fish runs is lacking.
The irrigators association belatedly tried to get time at the microphone after Redden issued his decision, but the judge refused. So now the Columbia-Snake group, along with the Eastern Oregon Irrigators Association, is looking to force the judiciary to give them a turn by filing their own lawsuit.
It's the right strategy, unfortunately.
Whether you agree with the association's arguments -- described by some as an attempt to recast how the Endangered Species Act is used -- one thing is for sure: The irrigators should be part of the discussion about salmon recovery.
There is a chance that, even by filing the 60-day notice of intent to sue in July, the irrigators have shifted the ongoing discussion in Redden's courtroom.
Redden has said he would limit the rewrite of the salmon recovery plan to two areas: remedies that are not certain enough to be implemented and remedies that rely on action by nonfederal entities, including states and tribes.
The irrigators want to go further. They contend the 2000 plan, or "biological opinion," makes the hydroelectric dams exclusively responsible for fish mortality and exaggerates the extinction risks to fish. They also argue that plentiful salmon runs in recent years should be considered as the plan is rewritten.
On that last point, the irrigators may have partially won already. The federal government, as part of its work to answer Redden's concerns, is updating its analysis of how fish stocks are doing to include more recent data, according to the Columbia Basin Bulletin, an independent salmon recovery newsletter. The new analysis shows better population growth in most cases, although perhaps not enough to eliminate a risk of extinction.
Redden might yet let the parties put more changes to the salmon recovery plan on the table. The best outcome would be if the irrigators' arguments were included into the ongoing review. Irrigators have said they will drop their legal challenge if that happens.
The parties don't need another legal action to divert attention from the important work already at hand.
At the same time, there is no use in having discussions that shut out a group as vital to the salmon recovery issue as farmers. Such an approach is bound to produce an unworkable blueprint.

Having a solid foundation of knowledge about good website design habits is key to operating a successful site. An effective design adds visual interest to your content and creates a more professional appearance. It will increase your traffic, and boost repeat customers. This article provides several tips that will help you design a successful website.
Consider having your website use fixed-position navigation. This involves locking your site's navigation panel as visitors scroll down. It benefits virtually everyone who will visit your site.
Use a fixed-position navigation format for easy navigation for your users. This involves locking your site's navigation panel as visitors scroll down. It benefits virtually everyone who will visit your site.
Keep page size to a minimum. If your pages take a long time to load, visitors with slow connection speeds will lose interest. You don't need visitors having pages get stuck every time they load because they may just leave your site and not return.
Watch for new ideas on forums dedicated to website creation if you want a head start, or simply to learn more. Google to find the best resources and start your research.
Try using a newsletter for getting repeat visitors. If you provide customers with an opportunity to keep abreast of upcoming promotions or events, they will be more likely to return. Track the number of visitors who sign up, and position the sign-up form in your site's sidebar. Make sure you only send off the newsletter to people that want it, or you're sure to find yourself in some trouble.
Your website needs to function properly for visitors who use any kind of browser, so be sure to test out your site for browser compatibility. Each browser is a little different, and a site that looks fine in Firefox may look wrong in Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer. Prior to going live with your website, see how your pages look on every popular browser.
Utilize the software out there that doesn't cost you a thing when you are designing your own site. While it is widely thought that pricey software and tools are the only solutions to building a quality website, there are actually vast amounts of free software and tools available on the Internet. Both of which can help you as you start the design process and to keep your site up and running. All you have to do is a little searching to find the best free tools for you.
Don't overload a website with more graphics and photos than necessary. Graphics are important, but too many can yuck things up. Graphics are not meant to be used as mere decorations; they're meant to better your site content. Having the right amount of graphics improves your website's usability.
Bearing aesthetics in mind, you should remember to keep file sizes small. Keeping your files small will directly affect how fast your website loads. It is always better to have your website load as fast as possible. You must keep in mind that not all visitors will have a fast Internet connection. Run tests to ensure that even dial-up users report a smooth user experience.
Make sure your website is easily scanned. Most people do not read all the text on a website; instead, they scan for interesting tidbits. Using bolding, color changes and breaks between sections of text makes your content easier to scan and makes it more likely that visitors will return. It is also important that the key information is at the top of each page. This will help your visitors quickly locate the information they are looking for.
Always provide text content for links when you set up the design of your website. The content makes the link visible to the users who are on your site. Make sure your visitors do not click links accidentally by adding useful text content.
Don't put pop-ups on your website. Integrating pay per click advertising to earn money is an important part of designing a website, however pop up ads only obstruct readers' view and serve to annoy them into leaving. It will cause people not to want to come back. Simplicity is key when it comes to ads. You do not have to rely on pop-ups.
Test early and frequently. As soon as you have something built to test, it is vital to keep checking what users will actually experience. As your website grows test it.
Successful Website
Conditional loading and independent CSS pages are important when you design your website. You can do maintenance and testing much quicker and easier if these things are in place. This technique allows you to make changes to your website without a lot of work.
Using effective website development techniques is beneficial. Good website creation will make your website attractive and easier to navigate, ensuring that visitors read and trust its content. Good web page design is the cornerstone of a successful website. Use the excellent website creation tips presented here for the best results. Use what you've just learned and design a successful website.
When you are creating your website, remember that all available space is not required to be used. Using all pixels within the site could make your website seem overwhelming and cluttered. However, leaving just a bit of space between all the different aspects of the webpage will provide a much more comfortable experience. Even empty space in some areas serves just as good a purpose as content.

Eight months earlier
The bathroom steamed like a sauna. The curtain was pulled back and water sprayed along the floor. Carson had never taken a shower this hot before; all hot water, no cold. The parts of his brown skin that were still him turned red with each pelt of water.
Carson scrubbed his skin hard with the steel wool pad. The floor outside the tub was scattered with pieces of a broken pumice stone and other broken devices sued for scrubbing dead skin away.
Carson ran the abrasive pad up and down his arms, trying desperately to remove the clear film that had hardened over his arm and most of his body. It had no effect. He scrubbed harder, furiously grinding the pad along his arm. He paid no attention to the areas of flesh that weren't covered by the film that he accidentally scraped raw in his madden attempt to shed what ever it was from his body.
"No!" he screamed, and threw the pad outside the bathtub. He collapsed in the tub and let the scalding water abuse his skin. The water hid his tears as they mingled together and ran down his face.
Carson couldn't help but think about Yvette and how he had hurt her. He was certain her arm was broken. He had meant to grab her so hard. He just wanted to stop her from walking away. Carson didn't even realize how much pressure he had applied until Yvette screamed and fell to the ground. It was then that he noticed the hard clear layer of whatever that was all over his had and forearm.
Yvette's screams had gotten everyone's attention, and people came running. Carson panicked. He couldn't explain what had happened, or tell them it was an accident. He wasn't sure himself what had just happened. He was scared, so he ran. He ran the entire eleven blocks home and went straight to the bathroom. His mind wasn't on anything but getting the "stuff" off his skin. He failed to notice how he mangled the doorknob to house upon entering, or the chunk of drywall he knocked out when he miss negotiated the turn down the hallway and slammed into it with his shoulder.
Carson prayed silently that whatever it was would just go away. He wanted all of it to go away, to just be a bad dream. His mind and body calmed as he lay under the burning water of the shower.
Slowly, the crystal like covering began to crack and splinter like safety glass and sluff off his skin. The tiny salt like grains mixed with the water and flowed down the drain, leaving no trace that they had ever been there.
Three months earlier
Caroline's legs trembled with each step. Her father insisted on walking her to the top of the lighthouse even though she pleaded to stay behind on the ground with her mother. He pulled her up the narrowing staircase. Caroline's wobbling legs felt as if they would give out on her at any minute.
It wasn't enough to reach the top. Her father demanded that she walk along the outer edge with him and waive down to her mother. Caroline couldn't understand what her father refused to accept about her fear of heights.
Caroline took one foot out on the rickety old iron walkway and froze. She could see the ground from between the iron bars that comprised the floor and guardrails. She retreated to the wall of the lighthouse and clung to the brick. Her father left her there and walked the perimeter.
Caroline began to panic. Images of her falling over the rail, or the entire walkway breaking free and falling filled her head. She closed her eyes and gripped the stone wall tighter. Her breathing became ragged and fierce. She wanted to leave, just go away. She wanted to be gone from there.
Caroline's father came from around the side looking for her.
"Caroline!' he called with concern. He looked near the door to the lighthouse where she insisted on staying. She wasn't there. He poked his head inside the tower and glanced down the steps, thinking she may have already started down.
"Caroline!" he called again, this time with an urgency and onset of panic in his voice. He looked over the edge, praying that he didn't see her down below.
Caroline saw her father looking for her and called out to him. She was scared enough just being up there, she didn't need his bad joke to go along with it. She called out to him, but he didn't answer. He turned from the doorway and looked over the edge of the lighthouse. Caroline called to him again, this time realizing that there was no sound. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing was there. She could feel the words in her throat, but they never came out.
Caroline's father ran around the perimeter again, hoping that maybe she was slowing making her way along and was on the opposite side.
Caroline screamed. Her face turned bright red, and her neck trembled with raw force. The veins in her temples strained against the thin layer of skin that covered them. Silence. Now, she began to panic. She closed her eyes as tears welled in them. All she wanted was to get down from there.
"Caroline!" her father snapped at her. He grabbed her by the upper arm, driving his fingertips into her skin. "What the hell did you think you were doing? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
Caroline tried to talk, but all she could do was gasp and sob.
'Bu-bu-bu" she started.
"Did you think that was funny, hiding from me like that?" Her father was angrier than she had ever seen him. He start dragging her down the lighthouse steps with the same eagerness he had pulled her up them. 'What's wrong with you?"
"But I- I- I…" Caroline tried again to speak, but couldn't get her words or thoughts together. She began to cry harder. She was scared and confused. Her father was the one playing the joke, not her. She didn't want to be up there to begin with.
"You're grounded, young lady!"
Caroline didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't speak to anyone for the next two days.
"Breathe through the fear." Guru said. He sat in the distance monitoring Crash as he practiced controlling his power. Guru wore a hooded poncho with torn jeans that were so old they couldn't technically be classified as "blue" jeans anymore. His long graying hair was pulled back into a braided ponytail that fell between his shoulder blades. In his hands he held a cane fashioned from a four foot piece of gnarled wood. The cane looked as if it had been beaten into a suitable shape as opposed to having been carved.
"Breathe through the pain." Guru said with same soft mellow tone that he had before. No one had ever heard him speak above his relaxed laid-back tone. Of course, the kids that lived at the Factory hardly ever saw him. The only time he was present was when welcoming new faces, or when conducting individual training sessions as he was now. His presence was always felt, though he was rarely seen.
It was unusual for fourteen teenagers to live in a house without constant adult supervision and run as normal as the Factory did. To their defense, nothing about the Factory was normal, and neither were the people that lived inside.
The Factory was a home to runaways that with powers. Most normal people, both young and old, would assume that having a special ability automatically made you special. An outcast teenager with powers is even more of an outcast than they were before. It was hard for them without having anyone to turn to. Someone to help them understand what was happening to them. More importantly, someone to help them control their powers. The majority of those that came to the Factory had tried to keep their powers a secret, and ran away after losing control in some kind of public fashion.
An uncontrollable public incident was what had brought Crash there. Crash was suffering from crippling headaches that would leave him balled up on the floor clutching his pounding temples. He thought he was just hallucinating when he saw objects hovering in front of him. He would eventually blackout from the pain and awake amongst a scattered heap of broken and misplaced things.
The day at the Heroes Hoagies restaurant had put him on the road. Crash didn't know what happened. All he remembered was sitting with his parents and taking a bite of his sandwich. His head had been hurting all day, but not like normal; more of a dull ache then the usual nightmare that he been having. His mother said something about not taking such big bites. Crash looked towards the window. Sunlight reflected off the chrome bumper of a passing car and hit him directly in the eyes. Crash felt like his brain was on fire. His headache flared and he thought his head had exploded.
Crash looked over at his parents with watered eyes, pleading for help. He had kept his headaches from them, afraid to tell them what was happening for fear of the worst. He was afraid that he might have a brain tumor. He was afraid he was dying.
Instead of seeing his parents sitting before him with a look of concern over his twisted grimaced face, Crash saw his parents and everything else in the restaurant hovering above the tables. The look in his parent's face was fear, not concern. Fear of the fourteen year old boy at the table; the only person still seated.
Crash bolted from the restaurant and never looked back. He eventually found his way to Future City and the Factory.
Guru took them all in and gave them a place to live. He tried to teach them how to control their powers so that they could return home, or just blend in with the rest of the world.
None of the kids that lived there wanted trouble, they just wanted a normal life. They worked together in their own normal abnormal world within the steel and concrete walls. A patchwork family of self described misfits.
The Factory was exactly what it was called. The three story building sat on the edge of the old industrial. The building was built, but never used after the developer ran out of money. Some time afterwards Guru moved in with the first group of runaways and created a refuge for them.
The first floor was a wide open space with occasional machine presses littered along the inner walls. The center of the floor was kept fairly clear with small bits of debris from previous training sessions. Bits of metal, wood, and glass were separated into large drums near the rear wall. Wooden cable spools and pallets were stacked like makeshift stairs under the catwalk.
The upper two levels were the converted bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. The walls of the three rooms on the backside of the upper level had been knocked out, and the floor "removed" to create a two-story rec-room. This was where most of those that lived there spent their time; some even had a habit of sleeping there as instead of their own room.
Guru thumped the side of his cane with his fingers, creating a rhythmic tapping for Crash to focus on. The young boy sat on the cold floor with his legs crossed. Several feet over his head was a large twisted metal pole. The large piece of metal weighed a little over 200 hundred pounds, and rocked gently in the air.
Crash gripped the legs of his sweat pants tight, bunching the material in his fists. His body shook as he tried to keep the heavy object floating in the air. Sweat began to run down his forehead and into his eyes. He tried to keep them open and not blink as the salty drops stung his eyes. He had a bad habit of losing concentration when he blinked.
"Listen to the sound." Guru advised him, keeping up the soft tempo. "Slow. Relaxed. Try and control your breathing. Slow down your heart rate. Try to fall into the rhythm.
"Gru rue…" Crash said between gritted teeth. "I kent holl dit mch lungr."
"You're tightening. You forcing your own energies back into yourself, instead of letting them flow freely through your body. Relax."
Guru walked closer to him, his bare feet silent on the rough concrete floor.
"Remember, your powers are a part of you. It's not a foreign entity. Controlling them should be as normal and natural as wiggling your fingers."
Guru watched as Crash struggled to keep the metal aloft. Crash started to shake more under the strain. The training object began to wobble as its ends dipped down and rose back up.
"Ok." Guru relented. "Let's try and lower it to the ground. Gently. We don't want to crack the floor again."
Guru took his cane and slid it under Crash's arms. He pushed the slouching teenager back to an upright position. He lightly took the tip of the stick and touched the bottom of his chin, and lifted it up.
"Sit up straight. Breathe deep. In your mind, picture a leaf or a feather slowly falling to the ground. Easy. There's no rush."
The metal hunk dropped in steady increments making its way to the floor. Crash's lips pursed as he fought to keep the heavy piece of junk from crashing to the floor.
"Remember, lowering something down is the same as lifting up. You aren't pulling it to the ground, gravity will do that for you. All you're doing is controlling its descent." Guru stood behind Crash, offering him guidance.
Crash's breathing was harsh and shallow. The twisted piece of junk started to slip and plummet the final five feet to the ground. Crash inhaled sharply and caught it just a few inches from the ground. He closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. The metal object smoothly and gently glided to the ground. It settled with it soft "thump" that barely disturbed the dust on the floor.
Crash opened his eyes and saw the misshapen metal on the floor in front of him. He was elated to see that there weren't any cracks in the ground underneath it. He blew out the rest of he air in his chest and wiped his brow. The palms of his hands were red and his fingers were stiff. Crash flexed his fingers as he climbed to his feet.
"You're doing better. I'm proud of you." Guru said with a smile. "Go on. We'll work together again week."
Crash smiled and nodded at him. He turned and walked toward the enclosed staircase.
"Keep practicing and work on your breathing. It's your power, don't be scared of it." Guru called to him in his same low mellow intonation.
Guru waited till Crash was gone. He laid the cane against his leg and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath in, moving his hands towards his diaphragm as he did. His hands were crossed as if he was making a bird shadow puppet. He exhaled slowly, while pushing his hands out away from himself. The twisted metal rod slid adroitly along the floor and came to rest at a support pillar several feet away.
Guru picked up his cane and hobbled across the room to office room door. If only he had done something like this earlier in his life. Maybe things would have been different. Not just for him, but for everyone.

This is the last post in our Date Night Series!
We have talked about the importance of dating, and we have discussed different ideas for free dates and group dates. There are seasons in your life where going out just isn't possible. Maybe you just moved to a new town and you have no one you can trust to keep your children. There could be an illness and you find yourself stuck at home, unable to leave, or maybe you have babies and young children that you just can't leave.
Do not fret! My husband and I have experienced all of these scenarios. We have had to come up with some creative ways to have date nights here at the house. Some of these are very simple and even spontaneous. Others take a little more planning. The sky is the limit!
Here are our 10 Favorite Date Nights at Home:
1. Board Game Night
When we were first married we used to play games all the time. It's fun to break out the old games and some junk food and laugh and play through the night.
2. Movie Night
This is an easy one. We like to put the kids to bed early, pop some popcorn and put our jammies on. Then we cuddle on the couch and watch a movie we have been wanting to see.
3. Dance on the back porch.
It is nice to sit outside under the stars and enjoy the quiet. There are many times where we have brought a baby monitor outback, lit some candles or lawn torches and turned on music. You can talk and cuddle under the stars or dance together right on the back porch.
4. Play Video Games
I have to admit, there are have been some really fun nights together where we broke out the kids' video game systems and had video game battles together.
5. Watch funny you tube videos
There are have been many nights that we just sat around watching countless funny videos together. Sometimes it is nice to not plan anything, and just be spontaneous and silly. It's great to laugh together and not have to think about anything important sometimes.
6. Romantic Date at Home
There was one year we just couldn't get out for our anniversary. We fed the kids pizza that night and put them to bed early. We bought expensive steaks and sides and cooked a fancy meal together. I decorated our table all nice with candles and china and linens. Then we got all dressed up and sat and ate dinner and dessert together like we were in a fancy restaurant.
7. Cook Together
I do most of the cooking around here, but my husband has been wanting to learn and cook more in our home. Some of the best dates we have had are just spent in the kitchen chopping veggies and making a meal together. Making desserts are a lot of fun too!
8. Netflix or DVR Binge night
We rarely watch tv. We are just so busy with work and home life that we never seem to have time to sit down and watch a show together. This is something we used to love to do when we only had one or two children and they all went to bed at the same time. Plan a night or a couple nights into your week where you binge watch a series you have been wanting to catch up on.
9. Couples Massage
Sometimes you just need some relaxation together. Giving each other a massage is a great way to end a long day and spend time together.
10. Reminisce Together
We love pulling out old photo albums and looking through old home videos. It brings back so many memories of our lives together and our families and it reminds of us of how far we have come!

Very nice accomodations, great staff and breakfast bar. Annual repeat stay, good hotel.
Great place
We really enjoyed our weekend stay at the Clarion Inn. Staff were all friendly and helpful, room was spacious and clean, beds were comfortable. It was wonderfully quiet at night. The only thing that was less than awesome was our view of the parking lot/highway.
Average hotel with great staff
This was our second stay at this hotel. Very comfortable, clean

On the hill of Turin, a few minutes from Corso Casale, not far from the city center there is this Villa. This beautiful building, located right on the hill, was entirely restored with special attention to the Park, which comprises 2 ha of green offering several areas including jogging, BBQ, relaxation and reading area, playground and helipad. The Villa hosts inside three floors where there are thirty-one units of different sizes. On the third floor there is a charming attic, developed on two levels, of 229 sqm with two beautiful terraces from which you can enjoy a breathtaking 360° view of the center of Turin, the mountains and the Basilica of Superga. The spaces are bright and airy, slanted ceilings have exposed beams that were painted in white and pale hardwood flooring, giving a very cool and modern allure to the entire ambience. This floor can be reached by a latest generation elevator in steel and glass or by stairs. The first room hosts the living room that has two large glass walls one facing the park and Basilica, the other one facing the Mole Antonelliana. From this area you find, on one hand a large bedroom with walk in closet and en-suite bathroom on the other hand an eat in kitchen. A guest bathroom concludes the floor. Always from the first environment though a staircase you may reach the upper floor where a second living room disengages two comfortable bedrooms both with adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The complex is ideally served by high speed traffic tracks. Easy access to the ring road and the main highways and to prestigious institutions such as the IST - International School of Turin, the European international school Spinelli, the Lyceè Français Jean Giono, to hospitals and to other public services.

I really like working with handlettering when I get a chance! This was today's warm up, it's been ages since I've opened up my laptop and did something. I still have a logo and a tattoo to color, so I hope this creative streak lasts!
Tomorrow is the Pecan Street festival here in Austin, so I might get some inspo from that too! 🐬
