People are listening all over the world. You can check my page at
I can't let music just hide in a desk drawer. I hope God can use these songs to touch hearts. Some people on blogs about Jango say paying for advertising like this is not the way to go, but after thinking about our situation, it's just right. You see, we are very busy here at Camp. We don't have time to do what the music industry calls "gigs". No. We are focused on serving the Perry County kids (and the other countie's kids too) through the ministry of Camp Nathanael.
Think about the travel expenses of trying to "get music out there" - just to travel to Lexington, Ky would cost more than $30. Jango lets us get the music out to the world. We pray God will use it exceedingly abundantly.
What do you think?
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedinly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever." Ephesians 3:20, 21

Aspire Clean Living is a health business created by friend Kelsey Biston. It's her own business and she's working tirelessly hard and it's going so well. I'm so proud! It's hard in this day and age to begin any business from scratch so snaps to her for giving it her all. Recently I've gained a stone(!) and for someone who is incredibly insecure about her body and the way she looks, the Aspire Clean Living community might be exactly what I need right now!! So without further a do' I shall give you an introduction to the business and how it may help with your personal achievements. Here is what Kelsey had to say for her business.
What is it?
Aspire Clean Living is a 9 day programme designed to kick-start your metabolism. It's not some 'fad-diet' or some 'milkshake' or 'smoothie' diet (which by the way, tried and tested, honestly did not work for me), it's a cleanse developed to give your digestive system a break from over indulgence. Based around the jam packed, full of minerals and amino acid super plant aloe vera which helps shift the toxins through the body along with the lower food intake so that the body concentrates on using energy to burn the bad toxins (i.e. soluble water) and the foods we consume. You will take supplements such as Garcinia Appetite Suppressors, fibre gels to help you feel fuller of longer and her personal favourite supplement, 'therms'. These capsules speed up the metabolism and stimulate the brain making you super focused and full of energy!
The best thing about all of this is that you do not need to starve yourself (which for a foodie like me, is a bonus). You can eat as much free foods as you like from a list that I shall post after this. You can eat from the list below between the days 1-9. From day 3-9 you introduce a 600 calorie diet which may not sound like much however if you use and download 'Myfitnessplan' which is an absolute amazing app by the way, you can count exactly what you're eating and how much your consuming!!
In 9 days you can feel and look better. Kelsey told me that her clients feel less bloated, more energised and feel they have a better relationship with food. Kelsey felt soo good after her cleanse that she wants to do the same for others.
The Free Foods List
Here are the list of free foods which you can consume as much as you like and the list looks scrumptious!! The list has been broken up into 2 separate lists; one for fruit and one for vegetable. Just a quick note, the best thing with this from personal experience is to consume more vegetables than fruit in your day-to-day diet, reason being is that fruit may be high in natural sugar but it is sugar nonetheless. When I first started to diet I would have a bowl of 5 fruits a day and I gained tonnes and tonnes of weight!! Now I only eat apple and bananas and blueberries and during the summer I treat myself to the plum/nectarine family.
The fruit list includes; Apricots, Apples, Blackberries, Blueberries, Boysenberries, Cherries, Figs, Red/Purple Grapes, Grapefruit, Kiwi Fruit, Oranges, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Prunes, Raspberries and Strawberries.
The vegetable list includes; Artichokes, Rocket, Asparagus, Belgian Endive, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucember, Aubergine, Spring Onions, Kale, Leeks, Lettuces (all varieties), Peppers (all varieties), Romaine Lettuce, Snows Peas or Sugar Snap Peas, Soy Beans, Spinach, String Beans, Tomatoes.
Not that bad of a list eh?!
Like I said above this is only an introduction!! Kelsey has given me permission to release her personal 9 day journey cleanse which I shall be posting in a day or two!! In the meantime you can find out more information on her personal Facebook page.

Once i went to my obgyn my FSH ranges had sky rocketed to in excess of one hundred twenty five. Any person over twenty five is considered in full menopause nevertheless I continue to Have got a regular time period. Estrogen patches and a progesterone products ended up the only thing that brought my ranges back to normal. Now utilizing the pellets. Serovital appears to have nothing harmful but either the combination of this stuff or a little something not shown is hazardous. Bottom line after reading Many others encounters…Serovital is harmful to Many people and never definitely worth the Value or risk.
Also, a research from 1993 that I found on the internet, concluded that a combination of lysine and arginine didn't elevate HGH levels in many subjects, and particularly not in older Adult males in comparison into the placebo team.
Title suggests all of it. I squandered my money, time and Strength on this. Look at the components and buy those dietary supplements as an alternative for the fraction of the value. I really suspect the "glowing reviews" are possibly patently Bogus or resulting from an Over-all healthier Life-style adjust staying attributed to this.
Indeed I just expert an identical dilemma. I'm forty eight And that i had been getting serovital for a week Once i arrived down with a cold. The cold rapidly become the most severe sinus infection I've ever skilled such as pink eye in the two eyes, an ear an infection and I do think undiagnosed strep throat. I had been experience so undesirable I finished using serovital and I needed to Visit the doctor and have antibiotics. I've had colds grow to be sinus bacterial infections in past times but almost nothing this terrible so I commenced pondering In the event the serovital had anything to carry out with it. Immediately after 3 days on antibiotics I was getting better and felt such as congestion was beginning to distinct up.
There was no totally free demo of Serovital offered at any given time of this review, so I can't comment on if it is an effective offer will likely not, or how you are tied in at the conclusion of it.
On top of that, Testogen includes a Forged-iron sixty day money back assurance, so unlike serovital you could consider practically danger absolutely free.
She informed me I've 30 times to return it to The shop I purchased it from and they're to present me my money back. I requested how to proceed whenever they refuse and she or he recommended me they have to get in touch with the toll no cost range since it is a component from the deal involving the client and seller. For many of you, I am or here aware its way too late, but for myself and hopefully Other people who just purchased this product or service we will nonetheless get our a refund!
I actually dont see a change i been using these things for 3 months i dont come to feel a change whatsoever What exactly need to i do. Just how long will it just take to view a modify i am continue to taking it but i need to know why they are saying these items operate i just dont see it.
I took my 4 dietary supplements now and since I understand why I'm acquiring these indications the remainder of the box goes during the trash. I hope this products moves outside of my process quickly.
Nevertheless, this hasn't slowed or stopped the sale of SeroVital-hgh. Genuine buyer reviews from the products are decidedly combined, averaging about three.5 stars around the reviews we could locate. Of those that find it irresistible, numerous worry that the products does get time to operate, However they finish up sensation rejuvenated and report young searching pores and skin (Even though they include it didn't enable them shed body weight).
Even so, this health supplement has created great final results for a number of people, but It's not at all about to bring about good improvements. Nevertheless, the manufacturer of the health supplement has supplied some exploration to back again up for all its ingredients but can it visit homepage be as successful as they assert, you may be the decide.
I've study Plenty of Serovital reviews that happen to be very well known and favourable. People are really raving relating to this human advancement hormone (HGH) product.
Serovital has no science to back again any of its statements. GenF20 Moreover has clinical trials to back its promises.
In terms of Negative effects, Serovital appears for being safe for people who find themselves healthier to consider. It's not always legitimate for pregnant Women of all ages or other Unique health groups however and you must usually talk to a doctor.

My eldest came over to spend the day making some pretty ornaments and gift boxes for her husbands family and her friends. I helped cut and make the gift boxes. Then I worked on the Cookbook for our youngest away at college. We worked until 3am! It was nice though and lots of fun.
Steph had fun using my digi kits to alter some vintage photos. She made collages for the backs that turned out so cute. I helped make the gift boxes using my sizzix box die, some red paint, some DCWV Christmas paper, seam binding, and Wild Orchid Craft Poinsettias that Sarah sent me.
I finished the cookbook frame, now need to add recipes and decorate the cover! I was tired but it was nice having her her crafting and creating with me!

'PRINCESS EUGENIE was embroiled in a racism row last night after a group she joined on the social networking website (sic) Facebook was branded "offensive" by equal rights campaigners'. Most Blue Bloods' only achievements are based upon heredity, so it's hardly surprising that they'd succumb to the temptations of the very racism upon which their future welfare depends. Their obsession with racial taints belies a fear of future failings should the blood of lesser beings contaminate their bloodlines. 'Lester Holloway, editor of Blink, the black news website (sic) and a member of the 1990 Trust,... said: "It's... sad to see these... stereotypes being joked about in this way by people who should know better"'. How can they know better when they're so obviously and inevitably obsessed with bloodlines, since bloodlines are the sole source of any social advantages that they possess? Their very existence on this earth is predicated on not knowing any better! Racism is an inevitable result of the political syndrome known as the "Chinless Wonder" or the "Hooray Henrietta". He continues: 'Most of society these days recognises that these terms are inappropriate'. Where is the evidence that most people in the UK think and act in accordance with such "recognition"? 'It's a pity Princess Eugenie and her friends are stuck in a time warp; they need to get in the 21st century'. They already are 'in the 21st century', since these ideas are still very current. The thing that really pisses me off is that Frank TALKER's blog (franktalker.blogspot.com/ POLITICS?) is not called racist – it least responding to such condemnation would make a pleasant diversion from re arranging the fridge magnets.

Former altar boy tells of abuse at children's home
William Connelly, 69, says youngsters were beaten and sexually molested at Smyllum Park.
A former altar boy has waived his anonymity to tell a child abuse inquiry of beatings and sexual abuse at an orphanage.
William Connelly broke down in tears as he told the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry of his experiences at Smyllum Park in Lanark.
The 69-year-old, who stayed at the children's home from 1958, spoke of almost daily beatings by nuns and care workers.
He also claimed a priest would perform a sex act on himself when hearing confession.
Mr Connelly made the decision to speak publicly because he said he wanted his alleged abusers to know it was not "some anonymous guy" who was giving evidence.
He told the inquiry how a "dodgy" priest would make the boys strip off their "dirty" clothes and rub their bodies with holy water.
Mr Connelly said: "If you went to confession and did something he didn't like to hear, like we had been masturbating, he would get upset and the nuns would know.
"We would make things up to please him, we knew he was masturbating. He would get excited by the things he was asking."
Mr Connelly told how one of the nuns seemed to get enjoyment from regularly beating him with a hairbrush and kicking him with "pantomime" boots.
On one occasion, he said he was attacked with scissors and left with cuts to his scalp and hands.
Older boys, who were put in charge of the younger residents, were said to sometimes make them pick a stick to beat then them with.
Mr Connelly said he forgave the nuns because he believed they were unhappy but rejected their joint apology.
He then became aware at the hearing that one of his alleged abusers was possibly still alive.
Mr Connelly said: "She's a liar. One of the reasons I made the decision to do this was because I wanted them to know it's me and not some anonymous guy."
He then broke down in tears, before adding: "I was hoping she was dead, you've just told me she's still alive - she's a liar."
Smyllum Park was home to more than 10,000 children between opening in 1864 and closing in 1981.
The inquiry was previously told a six-year-old boy died after being beaten by a nun at the orphanage over an incident involving a match.
More than 60 residential institutions, including several top private schools, are being investigated by the inquiry, chaired by Lady Smith.

Top Floor is a song by Naughty Boy, featuring vocals from Ed Sheeran, from his debut album, Hotel Cabana. It was written by both Naughty Boy and Ed Sheeran.
Click here to listen to it on Deezer
I can see the city light,
From where I stand on the top floor,
And I'm not sure if I'm dead,
I raise my hands to the clouds,
To check if heaven is with me now,
Cos the devil's in my bed,
And she won't love me,
Like you could,
And she won't hold me,
Like you would,
I bid this city goodnight,
And cover street lamps just like my eyes,
When it's quiet I'll go,
And say my sweetest goodbye,
Under billboards are fast food and mobile phones,
Cos they won't treat me,
Like they should,
Cos they don't need me,
Like you would,
My toes curl, clutch to the edge,
And filled up with regret,
Could you forgive me yet,
Would you know if I fell,
From this hotel?

A lack of positive headlines and a constant rehash of the negative events put traders to sleep and the markets drifted lower.
Market Statistics
The day's decline was not caused by a rush to sell but more of a buyer's boycott. There was nothing to stimulate the markets to the upside and there were plenty of leftover headlines that continued to put a cloud over investors. It was a lackluster day with low volume and the markets drifted lower on a lack of interest.
The economic reports were mixed but the one report that mattered was negative. The February NFIB Small Business Optimism Index declined -2.7 points to 91.4 and the lowest level since last March. Hiring indicators turned down and the outlook for the economy fell to a three month low. The future employment component fell from +12 to +7. Expectations for economic improvement declined from -11 to -19. The outlook for real sales growth declined from +15 to +3. The only components that showed improvement were the plans to raise prices, which rose from +19 to +23 and the plans to raise compensation, which rose from +11 to +14.
Weak sales trends and worries over declining economic conditions and increasing government regulations weighed on business owners. The NFIB surveys businesses up to 499 employees but those with less than 20 employees make up more than 75% of participants.
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed that job openings rose only +1.5% in January to 3.974 million. That was only slightly higher than the 3.914 million openings and -3% decline in December. Private jobs openings rose +1.5% compared to a -5.5% decline in December. Government openings rose +2.2%.
Companies are not in a hurry to add employees given the economic conditions in early 2014. Construction hires rose slightly and retail hiring declined to 4.1% and the lowest level since June. The layoff rate rose slightly from 1.2% to 1.3% but that is very low. Companies are comfortable with their current staffing and they are waiting for the economy to improve before they increase their staff.
In the Wholesale Trade report for January inventories rose +0.6% compared to +0.4% estimates. Sales fell -1.9% and December's increase was revised down from +0.5% to +0.1%. The rise in inventories came primarily from autos at +2.2%, paper +2.8% and drugs +2.7%. Farm products declined -2.2%, furniture -1.2% and petroleum sales fell -7.5%. Wholesales struggled with sales to retailers in January and that pushed inventories higher. Obviously the weather was blamed for the declines.
The economic calendar for Wednesday is lacking any material data. Thursday's retail sales for February will be the highlight and there could be a negative surprise. Friday's PPI is expected to show inflation rose slightly at the producer level in February. Unless there is a major deviation from expectations the report will be ignored.
In stock news GM was a headliner after the Dept of Justice opened a criminal probe into the recall of 1.6 million cars because of a defect in the ignition switch that allowed the engine and other components including front airbags to turn off while the vehicle was traveling at high speeds. There are 13 reported deaths and numerous injuries from this defect. The problem first came to light ten years ago and it appears GM may have swept it under the rug in hopes it would not develop into a major expense. That was the wrong decision since the injuries continued to rise. The problem appears to be related to the weight on the key and bumps in the road. For instance if you had a heavy key ring with a lot of other keys and you hit a bump in the road the key could be jarred out of the "run" position and turn off the engine and other components even if the car was going at a high rate of speed. GM's solution was to use only the ignition key with nothing else on the keychain.
A House committee examining the GM issue gave the company until March 25th to turn over all the information about consumer complaints and their responses to those customers. Existing law makes it a crime to intentionally mislead the NHTSA about defects that lead to serious accidents. GM shares declined -5% on the news.
Tesla (TSLA) suffered a setback when New Jersey governor Chris Christie's administration approved a rule requiring sales of all new cars to go through franchise dealers. Direct sales of autos to consumers is no longer allowed. Tesla posted on its blog saying the governor's office "has gone back on its word" to delay the proposed "anti-Tesla" regulation until it could be taken up by the state legislature. Tesla has two stores in New Jersey and the company said it would halt sales of cars from those locations and force the layoff of 27 employees. "Having previously issued two dealer licenses to Tesla, this regulation would be a complete reversal to its long-standing position of the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission on Tesla stores." New Jersey is the third state, along with Texas and Arizona, to bar Tesla from selling cars direct to the consumer. Reportedly Tesla is trying to leverage the placement of their $5 billion Giga-factory to produce batteries in an effort to get the law changed in Texas. It will be interesting to see if Governor Rick Perry will lobby for the change to get 4,000 jobs and a major tax generator from the factory.
DuPont (DD) started the ball rolling for the Q1 earnings cycle by warning that weather in North America and the turmoil in the Ukraine would force it to report earnings below estimates for Q1. Analysts were expecting DuPont to earn $1.68 per share. DuPont did not give a revised estimate for Q1 but they did reaffirm the forecast of $4.20-$4.45 for the full year. Shares declined -2% on the news.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (FMCC/FNMA) are going to be shutdown according to a bipartisan plan released by the Senate today. The plan would maintain government backing of mortgages but would eventually eliminate Fannie and Freddie. Holders of shares in the two companies would be wiped out. The two companies had a combined market cap of $8 billion on Tuesday. Anyone not selling those shares will eventually lose their investment.
Various hedge funds had bought shares of the mortgage companies after the 2009 collapse and actually had some nice paper profits but this proposed plan would wipe them out. Bill Ackman's Pershing Square paid $400 million for almost 10% of the two companies last October. His holdings were still worth $702 million after today's close. There are several bills in Congress to wind down the pair since they were taken over by the government as a result of the financial crisis. The two companies required a $188 billion bailout after the subprime crisis.
Herbalife (HLF) came under attack again by Bill Ackman when he released a report today that he claimed shows the company is operating in violation of Chinese laws. The report was based on third party research of Herbalife's complex compensation and recruiting plans in China. The report included interviews with current Herbalife employees and internal Herbalife documents obtained from a prior employee.
Ackman continues to claim that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme and he has a $1 billion short position to backup his beliefs. He said a major decline in HLF shares would give him a $2 billion profit.
Herbalife responded saying it remained confident its business in China was legal and would continue to prosper. The company said they "designed and implemented a unique business model in China that is in compliance with Chinese direct-selling and anti-pyramid regulations. The business model includes strict rules of conduct that prohibit, among other things, illegal recruitment, 'pyramid' activities, false product and income claims and conduct deemed illegal under Chinese law." Herbalife shares declined only 77 cents on the renewed Ackman attack.
Numerous hedge funds and institutional investors have taken bullish positions in Herbalife opposite Ackman. Apparently they are willing to support their positions by entering the market on days like today to keep the stock price from falling on the Ackman news.
Finally a deal! Men's Warehouse (MW) agreed to buy Joseph A Banks (JOSB) for $65 a share of $1.8 billion in cash. The five month takeover battle with multiple rejected offers has finally come to a close. Originally JOSB tried to buy its larger rival and that offer was turned down and resulted in multiple offers for MW to buy JOSB.
MW said it would terminate its recent offer to buy the Eddie Bauer brand and cancel a recently announced share buyback of $300 million. The JOSB chairman, Robert Wildrick, said he would leave the company after the sale and the combined company would be run by MW CEO Douglas Ewert. MW confirmed it had debt financing commitments from Bank of America and JP Morgan for up to $2.2 billion. The combined company will have 1,700 U.S. stores and sales of about $3.5 billion. JOSB was forced by its five largest shareholders to enter into talks to be acquired according to inside reports.
JOSB shares rallied +4% and MW shares rallied +5%. Apparently investors were just glad to have the fighting come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Urban Outfitters (URBN) shares fell -4.3% after the CEO warned that poor weather would contribute to lower sales and profits for Q1. American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) shares fell -8% after the CEO said it would only breakeven for the quarter and same store sales would decline in the "high single digits" compared to analyst estimates for a 2.3% decline. McDonalds (MCD) shares rallied +3.8% after the CFO said the company was looking at ways to "optimize our capital structure, while maintaining our long-term financial strength." That effort included analyzing general and administrative expenses and selling stores to franchisees in countries such as China, South Korea and Taiwan.
JC Penny (JCP) shares spiked to $8.67 after Citigroup upgraded the shares to buy from neutral saying the company will meet its revenue and margin forecasts this year. Recently JCP said same store sales would improve by mid single digits this year.
Copper prices continued to fall to a four year low as a result of the weak Chinese exports, the growing credit crisis and the decline in the yuan. China's first credit default in 17 years came last week and there are rumors of many more in the near future. China allowed Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology to default on $14.7 million in interest payments on a five year bond. That is the first ever onshore bond default in China. By allowing the company to default they are sending a message that the implied government backing to corporate debt is no longer in force. Chaori is now exploring bankruptcy and/or sales of assets to pay its debt. Over the last 20 years investors put money into thousands of Chinese companies without regard to their ability to repay since the government never let any of them default. If default is now on the table those investors are going to be racing to sell their debt and escape the death spiral.
Copper is falling because it was used as collateral for numerous loans and may need to be sold to cover the debt. Much of the nations copper inventories are collateralized to more than one loan and we could see a spiral of credit defaults as the collateral is sold off at distressed prices to satisfy the primary debt. Add in the sharp decline in exports of manufactured products of -18% last month and suddenly there is a race to the exits. Copper prices have declined -14% since the January highs.
The Crimean problem has not improved. Germany told Russia it had to change course in Crimea by next week of risk more sanctions. The EU will discuss harsher penalties on March 17th barring "obvious changes in Russia's action." German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier warned a planned March 16th referendum should be cancelled because the outcome will be ignored. The EU announced a three-stage sanction process last week. Britain hosted a meeting today to compile a list of people who could be hit by sanctions. The U.S. banned visas for Russian officials and others it said were complicit in violating Ukraine's sovereignty. President Obama authorized financial sanctions including seizing assets. Several EU leaders have warned that the annexation of Crimea by Russia is only the first stage of dismantling Ukraine's independence.
The continued headlines from the Ukraine, the declining economy and credit problems in China and the weak economic growth in the U.S. weighed on the markets and pushed them farther below their recent highs. The S&P rallied to 1,882 at the open but that was the high for the day. It was a slow decline from there but it was pretty consistent once the trend began. The index closed only 3 points from the low of the day.
The 1,865 level appeared to be support but analysts are now targeting stronger support at 1,840 if the decline continues. When we are this close to new highs after the strong rebound from the February lows it is only normal to see some backing and filling as investors take profits at the highs and look for a dip to get back in. If we do get a dip to 1,840 I would be a strong buyer at that level assuming the news flow did not change.
Resistance is 1,882 and support 1,840.
The Dow hit a high of 16,460 at the open and closed at 16,352 more than -100 points lower. It would have been a lot worse but the gains in McDonalds and Visa offset the losses in Goldman Sachs and United Technology.
The Dow closed just above minor support at 16,340 but is vulnerable for a decline to stronger support at 16,100. We are at the point where one more negative news event could push a lot more traders into profit taking mode. Right now we are seeing some light dip buying but with the negative headlines stacking up it may only take one or two more to force a change in short term sentiment.
Resistance 16,450, support 16,100.
The Nasdaq found round number support at 4,300 but it may not last. Real support is in the 4,250 range and below that level we could end up in free fall. The major decliners were the big names such as PCLN, GOOG, TSLA, BIDU, etc. The momentum stocks are failing and that is not a good sign. When the momentum runners are not seeing the dips bought that suggests sentiment may be weakening and we need to watch for the market to accelerate.
Resistance 4,350, support, 4,250.
The biggest evidence of a change in market sentiment came from the Russell 2000. The Russell index declined -13.5 points of -1.12%. That was twice the percentage drop of the other indexes. The Russell appears to be picking up speed to the downside and that is not a good sign. With a close at 1,187 and support at 1,165 that sets us up with the potential for another -22 point decline. There is light support at 1,178 so there is the possibility the decline could slow.
In the process of our nightly research we normally look at somewhere between 400-700 charts a day. Over the last two days the number of charts showing significant declines has increased significantly and the size of the individual declines is growing. It started with the momentum stocks late last week and has now progressed to the second tier gainers. This is starting to worry me but given the headlines in play I am not surprised to see some selling. However, if this continues for another day or two it could morph into something more serious. The dip buys have been very weak and it appears market sentiment is changing. I would be hesitant about indiscriminate buying and look for the strongest stocks you can find.
Whenever we get a decent dip in the market the hidden jewels will appear. These are the stocks with small gains or a fractional decline when the rest of the market is moving lower. These are the stocks that normally move the fastest when the next rebound begins.
I have mentioned several times that the first two weeks of March are seasonally weak. The market generally improves around March expiration and then rallies into the April earnings. Nothing has changed my outlook for an April gain but I am targeting a little lower level on the S&P at 1,840 for a dip buy.
Enter passively, exit aggressively!

Twitter, Inc. - TWTR - close: 54.02 change: +0.14
Stop Loss: 56.15
Target(s): 50.25
Current Option Gain/Loss: Unopened
Time Frame: 3 to 5 weeks
New Positions: Yes, see below
Why We Like It:
TWTR is considered part of the technology sector. This micro-blogging platform is one the major social media services that Wall Street likes to talk about. Today some of those headlines were about TWTR's service crash, the second time in nine days. I doubt the outage was seriously affecting the stock price today. The stock's post-IPO surge is over. The most recent earnings report was a disappointment. The dead-cat bounce from its earnings drop is over. TWTR has developed a bearish trend of lower highs.
TWTR currently has 544.7 million shares outstanding. There is a major lock up expiring on May 6th when another 474 million shares will come available for sale by insiders. It seems unlikely that TWTR is going to rally ahead of such a massive lock up expiration.
TWTR can be a volatile stock. Therefore we are suggesting small positions to limit risk. Buy puts at the opening bell tomorrow. We will start with a stop loss at $56.15 since the $56.00 level looks like short-term resistance. Our target is $50.25.

Earlier Comments:
I do consider this an aggressive, higher-risk trade. The 3D printing stocks can be very volatile. Furthermore XONE has very high short interest. The most recent data listed short interest at 43% of the very, very small 7.9 million share float. That raises the risk of a short squeeze. This
trade also has a short time frame. XONE is scheduled to report earnings on March 19th. We do not want to hold over the report. That gives us about two weeks.

It was a volatile day for shares of ROK. The stock gapped open higher at $125.60 and almost immediately reversed lower. By the closing bell shares were breaking short-term support. Today's move, just like yesterday's move, has created a bearish engulfing candlestick reversal pattern. The sell-off today would have hit our stop loss at $121.75 however, our exit target was $125.00. Thus the $1.86 gap higher ended our play.

Yesterday for lunch we had Tyson's Popcorn Chicken (seriously, they taste better than any nuggets you will buy at a fast food joint). Usually I feed Audrey and I will put ketchup on her plate so that she can dip her chicken in it. Well yesterday I was doing something so Travis fed her. I came down stairs and she was eating her chicken with BBQ sauce (or barbie sauce as she calls it). For those of you who don't know, Travis eats BBQ sauce with basically every meat, including ham. I have never seen her eat the chicken so well. Today for lunch guess what she wanted? Chicken. She got the barbie sauce out herself. I am pretty sure Travis is proud.

American Indian Grandmothers: Traditions and TransitionsBy: Marjorie M. Schweitzer (editor)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThese nine essays blend documentary history, oral history, and ethnographic observation to shed light on the complex world of grandmothering in Native America. The cultural and emotional resources of their ethnic traditions help grandmothers grapple with the myriad social, economic, cultural, and political challenges they faced in the late twentieth century. Indian grandmothers are almost universally occupied with child care and child rearing at some time, but such variables as lineal descent, clan membership, kinship patterns, individual behavior, and cultural ideology change the definition, role, and status of a grandmother from tribe to tribe. Although late-twentieth-century society often impoverishes and marginalizes them, many Indian grandmothers provide grandchildren with social stability and a cultural link to native indentity, history and wisdom. The contributors' case studies explore grandmothering among Navajos, Puget Sound Salish, Tewas, Hopis, Otoes, Choctaws, and Sioux. In addition to Marjorie Schweitzer, volume contributors include Karen Ritts Benally, Ann Lane Hedlund, Pamela Amoss, Bruce G. Miller, Sue-Ellen Jacobs, Alice Schlegel, Joan Weibel-Orlando, and Pat McCabe. The royalties from this book are donated to the Native American Scholarship Fund, Inc., based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
About AuthorMarjorie M. Schweitzer is an independent anthropologist living in Boulder, Colorado.

Re-pointing is the process of partially replacing the mortar joints between the brick or stonework in the external walls to maintain the weather resistance of the construction.
Repointing is expensive and is often incorrectly specified, particularly with older lime work. As a rough guide, the work is usually best undertaken when the pointing has eroded to a depth of around the width of the joints or it has clearly failed allowing water penetration. However, earlier work could be beneficial, particularly if this improves the overall appearance of the property.
Many walls to older buildings have been incorrectly re-pointed over the years with hard cement based mortars. These are inappropriate will tend to readily work loose and encourage dampness. It is essential that any work to older construction is carried out with lime as this helps the masonry to 'breathe' reducing dampness. Lime is also soft and will accept a degree of structural movement to the walls.
When re-pointing, the old mortar should be raked out to a depth of at least twice the width of the joints with care taken not to damage the masonry. It is important to match the colour and style of the original work to the walls. A weak hydraulic lime binder is preferred, but non-hydraulic lime can be used (sometimes with brick dust or another 'pozzolan' to compensate). Usually, well-graded sharp sand is suitable, although the largest particle size should not exceed one-third of the joint width.

My last semester of college, my professor gave me the choice of taking his course on Broadcast News or doing an Independent Study (and do a project). I chose the latter as I had a very busy and full schedule that summer. The assignment was to choose a topic that was controversial and then find articles in newspapers to see how each of them portrayed the topic (this professor and others in the department taught that the myth of objective reporting is a myth and they set out to prove to us that this is true). That broadcast media, in particular, are too busy, and under such tremendous deadline pressure that they often have NO TIME to report the stories they are given. And that each news media does have bias.
Now in the last ten + years that has really become apparent with Fox News. As Jon Stewart joked on the Daily Show, Fox News listeners are lied to on a regular and consistent basis. Fox news listeners are the most consistently misinformed viewers. Fox News turns into a lying dynasty when PolitiFact checks the news network for false statements
Why do I preface this post with Fox News and media bias? Well, two reasons. Over the weekend, M. Vick signed autographs in New Jersey and people actually paid for his signature while protesters outside were cordoned off from peacefully protesting which led 7Live TV to question whether he was punished enough and should be left alone.
7 Live Should Michael Vick be left alone? Has he been punished enough?
Protesters heckle Vick during an autograph signing msn.foxsports.com
Some of the comments made:
No, read the Lost Dogs Book by Jim Gorant
no, for Ginger, Mel, Cherry Garcia, Red, Stella, Handsome Dan, Little Red, the little red dog, Hector, Jasmine, Jhumpa, Jonny Justice, Georgia, and all of the other dogs Vick tortured and injured who still suffer and for all of the dogs he murdered with his bare hands buried on the property.
When Ginger first came to Stacy's home, she was 28 pounds, would not eat and hid out a lot behind furniture. She was terrified of people and Stacy had a difficult time getting her to cross any threshold. Ginger had door issues. It didn't ma…tter whether it was a front or back door. Ginger just did not want to go inside. She'd hunker down on the ground. For some reason, a lot of the dogs had issues with doorways. And it took a long time to get Ginger used to new situations and environments. She would just shake and hide.
Mel was used as a bait dog, due to his small size and mild temperament. He was likely muzzled when he was thrown into the ring with other dogs being trained to fight. He was not one of those that Bad Newz Kennels terminated — sometimes by drowning or hanging. But for the first year of Mel's life, if he saw a human being, it meant something terrible was going to happen to him.
What kind of punishment has he endured? Others who were arrested for shop lifting paid more than he has. He not only engaged in an illegal activity, he murdered innocent animals. If he had come out as advocate against dog-fighting and became a true spokesman for battle against this abuse, gave up his well-paying career, then maybe he would redeem himself in my eyes. He didn't just make a mistake, he committed a crime, multiple times and with others.
The point is that he committed a violent crime and still pretty much got away with murder. It sends the message that dog fighting is something you can do if you have enough money for lawyers.
Peace, who also was convicted in the case, said there were times he suggested that dogs unwilling to fight be given away, but that Vick said "they got to go," meaning be killed. The dogs were killed by shooting, hanging, electrocution and drowning, and in at least one instance, according to one of the witnesses, when Vick and Phillips killed a red pit bull by "slamming it to the ground several times before it died, breaking the dog's back or neck.
No and No! Unfortunately not enough people know the whole truth about Michael Vick and what he did to those dogs! If they took the time to find out the whole story I would hope that it would make them not want to forgive this man! Yes he is a football star but do you want your son to grow up to be like him, torturing and killing innocent animals, I hope not as far as I am concerned anyone who murders dogs for fun has not place in society much less profiting from his celebrity. Would you want someone like him arouond your children?
Dog fighting goes hand in hand with gambling, drugs, prostitution. Many of us will never let go because that is the whole point. Vick did not get the punishment he deserved and he will remain an example of what needs to change in our society. No, Michael Vick should never be left alone for what he did. Not only did he abuse dogs by fighting, shooting, electrocuting, hanging, drowning them but he gave scandal to many youngsters who look up to him. Thus the plague of abuse to pitbulls or some other breeds …burning, cutting, fighting, etc by youngsters in inner city areas. That will last for generations. So as long as pit bulls are abused he should not be left alone.
@7LiveOnline M. Vick should not be made a hero – he is no hero and doesn't merit the hype being used to clean up his rep.
The ability to activly cause pain suffering and death is not altered by 18 months in prison. If it was…every seriel killer in the world would be simply reformed in prison and then released. No MV needs to live by what he has done just like everyone else. Fame and fortune should not be part of the package.
The only thing this ABUSER is sorry for is getting caught. While in jail his Spin Doctors began trying to restore his image….all for one reason…to play football again. But Hell…we don't care to punish Priests for molesting children….animals have NO CHANCE for justice! Has he been punished enough for murdering dogs? HELL NO! (See my current main photo! ) He's getting off EASY because he is a "sports celebrity"!!!!!! He's still making millions, as if nothing ever happened!
I don't think he's sorry at all. He's just sorry he was caught. after what he did he feels bad cause he can't have a dog….obviously someone who learned something!!!! Yeah let us forget and move on so he can get a dog….oh his last pet dog he tortured and murdered. Maybe all his supporters can lend him their dog….didn't think so.
Vick was no casual lets go watch a dog fight one night kindda guy. He was DEEPLY INVOLVED….which means he KNOWS MANY MORE DEEPLY INVOLVED. If Vick ever has the balls to start naming names because he feels his actions are truly wrong….then that POS may start earning back respect. But he ain't got the character or BALLS to name names!
Vick was not convicted according the Virginia Animal Cruelty laws. Instead he was indicted in Federal Court and pled guilty to one (1), I repeat, one count of "Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fight Venture". Vick pled guilty to ONE count of "Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to sponsor a dog fighting venture".
Hardly worthy of the 11 dogs he and company savagely tortured before they killed them and the others used as bait dogs and fighters. I have seen many people say "they were just dogs". Yes they were "just" dogs. If Vick and co had done to humans what they did to those defenseless dogs, they would be mentioned in the same breath as Dahlmer, Bundy, Manson and the other who's whos of notorious serial killers.
And one of Vick's brilliant fans called me a white female dog name and racist because what else could she answer to the facts against Vick…
a few people responded: this has nothing to do with what color Vick is! I would be against him if he was as white a sheet of typing paper! I do not CARE if someone if black or white or purple! I DO care if they mutilate, maim, torture, and abuse animals and Vick IS guilty of all of that and worse. He is piece of crud and should still be in prison. No, he should not be left alone and he has NOT been punished enough!
Also, this weekend Karen Grace / KENS 5 asked if dangerous dogs (pit bulls of course) can be rehabilitated.
She writes:
Children have died in their jaws and police have shot them in self defense.
(no bias showing here, right)
Of course the photo of the dog does not even look like a pit bull… but hey, for sure Karen Grace has never ever met/seen a pit bull and would not know one if she got licked in the face by one.
I wrote to Karen Grace via email and twitter… firstname.lastname@example.com @newzdiva and her cohort who said that Ms Grace looked at the issue @SarahLucero
I will also send them this:
Double dog dare ya to read and/or print this comment… The real question should be can dangerous people be rehabilitated… animal abusers, for instance. dog fighters, puppy mill breeders, people who are cruel to animals, especially pit bulls… who starve them, throw them down the trash, neglect, abandon and/or torture them…
Animal abusers have a long history of abusing animals and eventually HARM HUMANS… and meanwhile they are not convicted, given a slap on the wrist for horrendous crimes against animals and continue to escalate their crimes. And 5 million INNOCENT pets die every year for no reason other than human beings are lazy and irresponsible.
And what about psychopaths like Michael Vick who killed pit bulls with his bare hands, tortured them, drowned and electrocuted them and threw his own pet dogs into the ring as bait dogs
and yet IF YOU READ the Lost Dogs book by Jim Gorant, go on Facebook to their pages, the former dogs/pit bulls of Michael Vick's Bad Newz Kennel, deemed to be the MOST VICIOUS PIT BULLS OF THEM ALL have been rehabilitated… some are even therapy dogs and others are living in families with other dogs and cats and kids. Dogs like Handsome Dan, Hector, Cherry Garcia, Mel, Ginger, Jonny Justice, Jhumpa, and others who were so traumatized because they were FORCED to fight for their lives and have the scars to prove it are LIVING EXAMPLES of pit bulls who are truly heroes.
Why not talk to Richard Hunter, right there in Texas, he and his wife adopted Mel, who lost his bark he was so traumatized by Vick et al and is still terrified of people, doing much better than he was, but making progress every day. Mel just received his own key to the city of Dallas.
Cherry Garcia was just on TV in Connecticut
Perhaps you should watch the movie Beyond the Myth
and/or listen to Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan…"My kids are around pit bulls every day. In the '70s they blamed Dobermans, in the '80s they blamed German shepherds, in the '90s they blamed the Rottweiler. Now they blame the pit bull." Cesar Millan. "Pit bulls get a bad rap because of irresponsible owners…."
There is No SUCH THING AS A DANGEROUS DOG…
Pit bulls were raised TO BE VERY PEOPLE FRIENDLY and they LOVE PEOPLE… For over 100 years, pit bulls represented America and these dogs were babysitters (Remember Petey, the Little Rascals dog?)
temperament testing reveals that pit bulls score gentler than 121 other breeds Temperament evaluations by the American Temperament Test Society have given pit bull terriers a very high passing rate of 90.6 percent. The average passing rate for the other 121 breeds of dogs in the tests was only a low 77 percent.
Now what does all of these have to do with one another? Hmmmm… Could there be a connection? Bias in the media related to pit bulls and Vick getting off easy leads to more pit bulls being fought and abused and children learning the lesson that if / when you are rich and famous, you can get away with murder and the media blames the dogs instead of their Killers… more abused dogs, more dog fighting, more banning of "dangerous dogs" (Breed Specific legislation), more media madness, and on and on and on the cycle goes around. we all know how that goes right, blame the victim, why hold the responsible party accountable for their actions ???? In America, money talks/walks and gets away with murder…
the vicious pit bull cycle revealed…
and somehow we were woofing around on Wed. and wound up on a Blog Hop, grab the code here

Jesus said, His food was to do the will of God, who sent Him to do it. (John 4:33,35). What did He mean?
The disciples expected Jesus to be hungry; He wasn't. They couldn't understand this, so they asked Him if someone had brought Him some food in their absence. That was when He spoke about His food. He was saying that He needed no other food to satisfy His appetite. He had sufficiently satisfied any hunger He had, by satisfy a greater hunger—to do God's will.
Do you receive satisfaction from doing God's will, Christian? If so, good. If not, there is something wrong with your perspective on life. To please God by doing His will ought to be so soul-satisfying that all other hungers (for food, money, fun) should take a back seat to it. He could tell them that He was filed with the greatest food—obeying His heavenly father. He had been doing God's will by witnessing to the woman at the well.
What satisfies you above all else? Do you have a hunger for pleasing God by doing His will? Even witnessing to her was not satisfying, in itself. It was only so because to do it was to do God's will. As God for this hunger if you don't have it—otherwise, you will to be able to say what Paul did in Philippians 2:13 (look it up!).

Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
5 Jun
Because certain subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) are associated with the development of cervical cancer, the search for a prophylactic or therapeutic HPV vaccine has been an important endeavor. Although more than 30 types of HPV are known to be sexually transmittable, the major types associ- ated with malignancy (HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, -45, -52, and -58) and condylomata (HPV-6 and -11) are relatively few in num- ber, allowing for more focused strategies for immunization against these specific subtypes. Vaccine development has been hampered in the past because of the inability to culture HPV. However, an in vitro culture system for HPV has more recently been developed, furthering the prospect for advancements in this field (269). Virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines are pro- duced by recombinant DNA technology and are designed to self-assemble into conformations that resemble natural HPV. These vaccines contain no viral DNA and carry no risk of infection or oncogenic exposure. VLP vaccines have been designed for all of the major HPV subtypes and clinical trials are currently underway for HPV-11 L1 VLP (270), HPV-6 L1 VLP (271), and HPV-16 L1 VLP (272).
Fusion protein vaccines are currently under evaluation for the immunotherapy of cervical cancer and genital warts. TA- HPV is a live recombinant vaccinia virus which has been engi- neered to express the E6 and E7 protein genes for HPV-16 and -18 as a treatment for cervical cancer (212). This method also utilizes the viral vector approach, using vaccinia as a vehicle. Viral vector vaccines can be polyvalent and have the potential to produce immunity similar to that induced by live attenuated vaccines. A phase I/II clinical trial of TA-HPV (273) has shown encouraging results, and further studies are underway. TA-GW is a recombinant fusion protein vaccine consisting of HPV-6 L2 and E7 proteins, which is under investigation for the treatment of genital warts. A phase IIa clinical trial showed the vaccine to be immunogenic, with encouraging clinical responses (274). A third protein vaccine, TA-CIN, is in preclinical development for the treatment of cervical dysplasia (212).
Peptide-based vaccines have been shown to be protective against HPV-induced tumors in mice, although the T-cell rep- ertoires in mice and humans differ. Two early-stage human clinical trials are underway, one involving HLA A*0201 bind- ing HPV-16 E7 peptides, to assess the possible therapeutic implications these vaccines may offer (275). Other investiga- tional approaches to HPV immunization include DNA vac- cines (275), bacterial vectors (276–278), and dendritic cells pulsed with HPV epitopes (279). Koutsky reported in a study of 2392 young women that a HPV-16 VLP vaccine was 100% effective in preventing HPV-16 infection. In addition, the vac- cine was safe, with no serious side effects reported. Therefore, immunization of HPV-16–negative women may eventually reduce the incidence of cervical cancer (280).

Who doesn't love snow?
The white snow with glitter all over mean to be something to the world!!
So I was feeling like painting my nails again, as I am too bored with all the cores at home.
So here is my NOTD
I applied the Essie- "Sole Mate" collection which I am loving a lot.It is such a dark color that absolutely best for the winter season. I also applied Essie- "fishnet stocking" in the middle nail to enhance the look. And then just applied the top coat from WNW. ANd erase the unusual spot with the remover.
Let me know if you have ever tried this one.
Have a nice weekend !!

Wonderful teacher, motivated me to pursue English in University.
I like ms.B. i thought she was a great teacher and made me want to write better and more often. Not an unfair marker at all.
a little advice...go to her classes, be polite and respectful and she's an amazing teacher and very helpful...stay on her good side
WOOO! Ms B! You are the best teacher! Awesome at drama and english. I enjoyed being in both of your classes!
I would like to start by listing her strenghts but I find myself comming up blank, hard marker, unclear expectations, says um too much
She's alright, i had her twice and was glad when it was over.Extremely hard marker & says "esentually" too much! Nice woman at heart though.
Ya, she is a tough marker. I wish she would inderstand that we are only students, and we can't all write the way she does
Brilliant mind, way too tough when it comes to marking essays. Could be rudely sarcastic at times.
She is a tough marker, but the class was very thought provoking and enjoyable.
She makes us stand up in the hall when we're sitting...
