Employing white, the color of peace for a wedding theme is additionally a brilliant idea! You would want to opt for colors that are assortments of precisely the same tone. With a color wheel you're able to observe how some of your favourite colors will do the job together. Remember which you can easily include your favourite colors into the mix too. It's simple to get carried away with too many colours, but I suggest that you choose three or more principal colors for your palette. Inside my opinion, choosing your wedding colors is among the hardest wedding decisions you will have to make. Because the collection of Wedding Colors sets the mood and the total theme your Wedding and Reception the assortment of your wedinng and reception colors is essential to the general event.
Weddings are pricey, obviously. Even though they can be fun, there is always a lot of pressure. Awesome solution for little and cozy wedding and it'll seem perfect with scarlet. A marquee wedding is almost always a popular alternative for couples. The actual weddings featured are a good source of inspiration. It's extremely hard to try and organise affordable destination weddings. Inexpensive destination weddings are possible, however you might need to open your mind a little and spend some of your financial plan on flights if you would like to discover your dream location which also fits your financial plan.
No, your ceremony won't appear to be a marshmallow and you won't need to put on a pink wedding dress! Many wedding ceremonies occur in a little area near the pagoda. Off-season weddings generally have the very best specials and discounted items too.
You cannot modify the appearance of the dress as you please. Employing many shades of the exact same color in all the accoutrements will allow you to avoid a monotonous appearance. Plus, it will also provide you with a better feel for the place and those who work there.
The decorations should not merely create the cake appear beautiful, but in addition complement the wedding theme and colours. Naturally, you will want to keep the decorations fairly straightforward. The traditional wedding cake decorations are made from buttercream which lend a soft and creamy appearance to your wedding cakes. Flowers learn to make. Consider how you would like your bouquet to look, because knowing what style of bouquet will let you establish how many flowers you must purchase. After the wedding, you can dry your bouquet and place them in the box, or you could turn it into a true terrarium!
My friends aren't all on Facebook. You don't require a whole lot of friends in your region, but become friendlier with at least a token a couple of people so you honor the vibrations of hospitality and harmony. So the next time you're planning to unwind or visit family and friends around the united states, be certain to shop around for discounted alternatives.
If you're likely to compare wedding venues, you have to make sure you know what's included with each, so you can be certain you're comparing like with like. If you drive slowly, it's a fantastic place to visit devote a quiet afternoon. To prevent the rush in any circumstance, see whether there are things you can do in order to prep the day before or early in the morning.

FleishmanHillard has appointed senior vice president Cedric Vanhaver as the new head of corporate communications of its Beijing office.
Vanhaver leads a growing team and portfolio of clients that spans multiple industries, including technology, travel and luxury. He joined FleishmanHillard's Hong Kong office in 2010 before transitioning to its Beijing location this year.
Having spent more than 15 years at communications agencies, Vanhaver brings experience that helps both Chinese and international companies elevate their corporate reputations in China.
Spending eight years in Silicon Valley before moving to Asia, he has a strong background working with technology companies. He also has significant experience serving clients in professional services.
"As China continues to develop into a world-leading economy, issues around corporate social responsibility, fair labour practices and corporate governance will continue to generate needs for strategic corporate communications work," said Li Hong, president of FleishmanHillard in China.
"With the addition Cedric to the experienced team in place, we are well-positioned to help both Chinese and international organisations build and safeguard their corporate reputation through authentic communication."

As an employer, you provide pay stubs to employees each payday that include a number of payroll details. If you choose to use a manual payroll system rather than purchasing payroll/accounting software that has a built-in template for paycheck stubs, you may need to create your own template.
Determine how you would like to design the template. If the template is solely for record-keeping purposes, you can keep the design simple, without borders and pictures. If you are distributing the check stub to your employees, you'll want to include your business name, contact information, and logo (if applicable). If you are using an office program such as Microsoft Word, type your business information and insert your logo at the top of the page. If you are using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, expand the column and the row in which you would like to insert the information.
Create headings for the template. The check stub headings should include the employee's name, pay period end date, pay rate, regular hours, regular pay, overtime hours, overtime pay, gross pay, statutory deductions (taxes, etc.), voluntary deductions (e.g. health benefits and retirement contributions) and net pay. Highlight the areas of the spreadsheet/page you wish to place a border around and insert the border.
Enter formulas in the formula bar if you are using a spreadsheet program. If you are using the check stub solely for recordkeeping, you can include more than one payroll stub on the worksheet. Consequently, certain columns, such as regular hours, regular pay, gross pay and net pay, will have totals. Once you have entered the formula for the appropriate columns, the system automatically calculates the totals. Including data from preceding payroll stubs lets you know the total hours and wages paid, as well as deductions withheld thus far.
Save the blank template. Each time you use the template, start by choosing "Save as" to save the new document under a different name before you begin entering data. This will ensure that template remains blank.
Assign a record number to each paycheck stub you create.

J194 Gut Code
I am so behind in my posting but it is because I am doing lots of art – the best of reasons.
So this page is in my White Man repurposed book and started life like this.
I had no idea I drew something that looked like a screaming baby in amongst the guts but I could relate to it – had very painful, bloated gut at the time which turned out to be due to a parasite and some other stuff and those words came to me some months later but fit. Art is like that.

Was influenced by the blog posts by The Silver Chef and Dairy and Cream. A good chance to try out Kyoto food. I think of it as a preview to the eventual, so as to manage my own expectations if I travel to Kyoto.
|Kyoto Fair menu
Got the Gion dinner set @$78++. Pre-dinner drink, an Asahi please.
|Asahi (bottled 330ml) @$9.95++
The 6 kinds of appetisers and the kyo-yuba uni were brought out to start the dinner course.
|6 kinds of appetisers
|daikon with miso
Enjoyed the kyo-yuba uni. This should be placed permanently in the menu. Light, refreshing and for the first time, the uni tasted so fresh and creamy. That dash of wasabi was useful to wakens the senses. The small block of kyo-yuba here tasted like tofu or was that tofu? No idea as sometimes the substitution of ingredients do happen.
|pretty kyo-yuba with uni
While they did not serve the fresh gluten cake with miso, the deep fried yuba dish that they brought out was fantastic. Served with an almost translucent jelly-like savoury sauce, this dish was easily likeable.
|deep fried yuba with sauce
|Kyoto Beef "Miyabi" set with udon, pickles and miso soup
|as soy milk boils, you will find a film of fresh yuba forming at the top~
|this is how an A5 wagyu looks like
|lovely chewy udon
The course ought to be shared by two person. The soy milk soup and the A5 wagyu combined, was a very rich taste. As usual, loved the hakusai in any form of sukiyaki or shabu shabu. The soy milk was in its original healthy taste.
|matcha fondue dessert
My friend helped with the desserts as I could not eat anymore. But the matcha fondue was like chocolate, tasty sweet and addictive.
|petite desserts
It was an interesting experience.

Return of Nurse Flowerpot
We left my mother looking very small, sad and vulnerable. I wanted to scoop her up and bring her home. She hates us going and was Extremely Appreciative, dear thing. We had provided just the right level of care, apparently, which even if it wasn't true was a very lovely thing to say. In fact, several times she said how good I was at looking after her. I think that was when I'd run up and down stairs about 15 times and was getting decidedly Snappy. But she's doing much better and you'd never think she'd had major surgery only a few days ago.
While in Devon I developed a habit of waking at 5am. When Mollie sensed this, she decided that she'd like a pee, so I had to let her out (at home she lets herself out through the catflap). Once I'd done this and given her breakfast, I couldn't get back to sleep, and as I didn't want to wake Himself or Mum, I would go back to bed and read, looking at the clock every now and then to see when it was 7am which, I felt, was a reasonable time to get up. My mother, who is a night bird, was horrified to see me hanging out the washing at 7.30 one morning. She couldn't appreciate that it was a beautiful sunny morning and the best time of the day, and stared at me blankly, obviously wondering how she'd produced a daughter who likes mornings.
Now I must say I'm feeling a bit jetlagged. We'd packed the car, hoovered the house and I'd walked Mollie by 9.30 this morning so felt we might as well leave. However, we had to stop in Saltash for coffee (my back starts aching after about ¾ of an hour so I have to get out and unstiffen it.) Then we stopped in Lostwithiel for a picnic and to give Mollie a run in the meadows down by the river. Then we had to stop at Tesco in Truro as there is zilch in the fridge. So it took us 4 hours and my head's spinning. It's very nice to be home. I'm sort of thinking it's time for a glass of wine but – oh God, it's only 3.45.
Anyway, good parental relations are restored and Mum has someone else arriving this afternoon to look after her, so she's in good hands, plus all her friends that pop in bringing flowers, books, food and drinks. Even so, it was hard to leave her. I keep seeing that pale little figure, in her pale blue dressing gown, looking agonised. Oh hell…..

What is it about cats and computers? They seem to love them, don't they. My two - Parsley and Nutmeg - like sitting one on either side of the monitor, occasionally swiping at the keyboard. Luckily they haven't worked out which one is the delete key yet!

thanks for dropping in, Tim. Love the picture of Parsley and Nutmeg swiping at the pc! I trained Bussie not to walk over the keyboard when he was a kitten but while mum's away.....
RT - Buster Blog is an idea but don't think I have the hours in the day. Perhaps I should give him typing lessons....

There's an entire blog devoted to cats, Stuff about Cats, or something similar. Perhaps Buster is the anonymous author.
Sorry to hear your mother hasn't been well. Must be worrying.
I tagged you in a food meme before reading about your mum's illness.
It's probably the last thing you want to do right now, so please don't worry about it.

I suspect (if you write anywhere near as much as I do) the cat worked out a long time ago that the area around the computer is the warmest in the house!
I'm sure your Mum will be absolutely fine, but it must have been really hard to leave her.
Welcome back :)

mother - will have a check round blogs and respond to your tag. Thanks for that.
MissU - my "office" is in fact shoved in our bedroom - we have a very small flat - and when the sun's shining it's lovely. When it's not, it#'s freezing. but cats tend to like changing their beds every week or so. I've just had to fight for possession of The Writing Chair this morning. Sigh...
Eurodog - thanks for that. And the sun is shining here in Cornwall for once, as well! Lovely to be home.

Many bird species have developed what is called brood parasitism-an effective way to have your young raised without much effort on your part. Cowbirds, for example, are blackbirds in the genus Molothrus which specialize as brood parasites-they lay their eggs in other bird's nests, do not construct their own nests, and do not raise their own young. The genus consists of five species, three of which are found in North America. The three species choose from the nests of many species in which to lay their eggs, and all have been increasing in population and distribution. The genus appears to have originated in South America and doesn't occur in the Old World. However there are other brood parasites in Europe, Asia and Africa. In fact, five families, include birds that lay eggs in other bird's nests. Many nest parasites are found in the cuckoo family (Cuculidae) which includes at least 10 genera of brood parasites, most occurring in the tropics.
Perhaps the best known member of the cuckoo family (Cuculidae), is the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus-formerly known as the European Cuckoo) which parasitizes nests of songbirds in Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa. In North America there occur three species called cuckoos- the Mangrove Cuckoo, the Yellow-billed Cuckoo and the Black-billed Cuckoo which, despite sharing the common name "cuckoo" with C. canorus, are really quite different. Besides belonging to a different genus (American cuckoos are in the genus Coccyzus) and sub-family within the Cuculidae, the American cuckoos build their own (simple) nests and generally do not lay eggs in other bird's nests. In addition, American cuckoo egg coloration is monotonous and unrelated to host egg color while C. canorus eggs occur in several different base colors and spotting patterns that match those of the eggs of selected host species. The relationship is so predictable that some workers have subdivided C. canorus into genetically fixed, host-specific lineages defined by the host, e.g., the reed-warbler cuckoo, the redstart cuckoo, etc. The photo below illustrates how well this egg mimicry has developed. But how does the female cuckoo "know" which nest to lay its egg in? Scientists have no answer yet. However this egg mimicry does not occur in Coccyzus or in Molothrus.
In another form of mimicry, some cuckoo young of other genera (Clamator, Eudynamis) raised in nests of crows or magpies, have blackish plumage like the hosts' nestlings thus lessening the chances that the typically aggressive corvid hosts will detect and kill the interlopers. Much more can be written about the cuckoos. But I note here only that the familiar vocalization "coo-coo" in birds or clocks (!) is that of the Common Cuckoo and not at all similar to calls of the North American members of the cuckoo family.
The Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) is the common brood parasite of North America and was the only species present there until the mid-20th century. Presently its range extends well into Canada from British Columbia to Nova Scotia and reaches to the Gulf and Pacific Coasts. As late as the 1940's, its distribution in the eastern U.S. extended no further south than central Virginia and Tennessee (Pough 1946). However, expansion into the remaining suitable habitat in the rest of the country, including Florida, was soon to follow. The first Florida nesting was recorded in 1956 in Pensacola. In the 1980s M. ater expanded "explosively" in Florida and today is resident over most of the state. Some range maps widely available on the Internet still depict M. ater as non-breeding in most of Florida.
Prior to the impact of European man, M. ater was dependent on grasslands, especially the Great Plains where bison grazed, but expanded eastward following the replacement of forests by range and cropland. The brood parasite strategy may have evolved because it allowed cowbirds to keep pace with the mobile bison while arranging for their young to be raised by devoted foster parents. Today the cowbirds follow livestock as they did bison, feeding on insects disturbed by grazing.
Considering the abundance of brown-headed cowbirds today, it seems reasonable to conclude that for the cowbird, opening up of extensive forests and prairie, and expansion of cattle grazing and agriculture compensated for the near extinction of the bison herds in the 19th century. Cowbirds avoid extensive forest and grassland except along their edges (the thickness of the "edge" varies with habitat type and other factors but may be 100 meters or more) while small landscape fragments of natural vegetation like woodlots or parks, are accessible to predators or parasites throughout most or all of their extent.
Most hosts are smaller than the cowbird and studies show that the parasitic birds tend to select nests with eggs smaller than theirs. Cowbird eggs develop faster than many host's eggs presumably due to higher eggshell porosity which allows for greater exchange of respiratory gases by the developing embryo (Jaeckle, et al. 2012). Because of these developmental inequities, host adults are sometimes observed feeding a cowbird chick as big as itself while several of its own eggs remain unhatched. In most cases, however, the larger cowbird nestling will have damaged the host's eggs and or killed the young leaving the host to feed it until it is independent.
If food is adequate, M. ater females can lay eggs almost daily throughout the nesting season with a single female producing up to 40 eggs. Although over 90% of cowbird eggs fail to reach adulthood, reproduction obviously is adequate to support vigorous populations.
Over 220 bird species are known to host M. ater eggs and nestlings providing a sizable population of hosts to choose from although the hosts do not all accept foreign eggs. Spreading out parasite loads across many species, however, reduces impacts on individual species thus reducing the selective pressures on host species that would favor counter-adaptive traits (Wiley 1985) and lower cowbird success rates. This strategy is quite different than that of the parasitic cuckoos which specialize in one or a few host species and employ mimicry to fool the host into raising its young.
Species such as robins, catbirds, thrashers, and jays resist nest parasitism by puncturing cowbird eggs and ejecting them from their nests. Yellow Warblers are known to respond to cowbird eggs by roofing-over their invaded nest with a new one and Yellow-breasted Chats desert their nests that contain a cowbird egg. Chickadees, woodpeckers and other hole-nesters are protected from depredations of M. ater because this cowbird species doesn't lay eggs in tree holes or cavities. Hole-nesters thus may continue to succeed in small woodlots as long as suitable cavities are available and the predator load is not too great.
Most small birds that construct open nests, however, tolerate foreign eggs. The most vulnerable species include warblers, vireos, thrushes, sparrows and flycatchers. In some areas native birds may be subject to ecologically significant reduction in numbers due to cowbird parasitism. For example, numbers of Wood Thrushes and likely other species, have been greatly reduced in smaller forest fragments and woodlots which cowbirds fully penetrate in search of nests. In fact, studies of small woodlots in Illinois have shown that cowbirds are capable of eliminating Wood Thrushes from these sites, although if the woodlots are not too far away, colonization from large forested areas may prevent this from actually happening. Nevertheless Robinson (1990) showed how damaging cowbird predation can be- 55% of the 450 songbird nests found in his central Illinois study area contained at least one cowbird egg including 90% of the 92 Wood Thrush nests. Some of the parasitized thrush nests were situated over 400 m from the forest edge. Similar results have been found in other studies, although parasitism rates vary. Elsewhere, three taxa at risk of extinction, the Kirkland's Warbler, Golden-cheeked Warbler, Black-capped Vireo, and the California subspecies of the Bell's Vireo, are particularly vulnerable and Brown-headed Cowbirds are probably contributing to their endangered status. However, separating out habitat loss and deterioration from cowbird inroads is not easily done and studies of the Kirkland's Warbler found that reducing cowbird parasitism was insufficient to increase warbler population size without also upgrading warbler habitat by controlled burning.

Watch Dog Siren (Series 2)-A200
The WATCHDOG™ Blower-Siren helps prevent suffocation, dangerous falls and other common accidents caused by the sudden deflation of inflatable bounce houses.
Inflatable bounce houses need a blower to keep them inflated. But what happens when that blower stops inflating? Or if there is a sudden air loss caused by a detached blower tube? When an inflatable loses air, it immediately becomes unstable and children can become injured due to falls or become trapped inside. When the unthinkable happens, every second counts.
The WATCHDOG™ Blower-Siren uses a patented smart chip that automatically detects if the blower is shut off, loses power, or if the inflatable suffers sudden air loss. If it detects a problem, it sounds its 100+ decibel siren! This gives you precious time to help get children out safely.
- Circuit breaker failure detection
- Generator failure detection
- Unplugged cords detection
- Blower inadvertently turned off detection (child mischief)
- Detached blower tube detection
- Zipper opened or large tear detection
- Blocked blower intake detection
- Rugged & durable ABS plastic
- Integrated cord management
- Powerful 100+ decibel siren
- Arming indicator light
- Internal battery that automatically recharges
- Stackable design for easy storage
- Meets new ASTM F2374-10 Requirement for Deflation Alert Device
The new 2018 ASTM F24 Standard on Amusement Rides & Devices (F2374-10) requires the use of a DEFLATION ALERT SYSTEM for all inflatables with a playing surface of 8' or higher.
The WATCHDOG™ (Series 2) meets these new requirements.
NEW 2018 ASTM F-24 Standards on Amusement Rides & Devices
Inflatable devices with platforms or play areas higher than 8 feet (2.4 m) off the ground shall require a deflation alert system.
Where deflation alert systems are used with inflatable amusement devices, the deflation alert system shall incorporate one of the following:
(a) an automated means to monitor the onset of deflation and alert the operator/attendant, OR. (b) an automated means to monitor the loss of blower function AND a supplemental means to allow operator/attendants to monitor other failure modes that cause rapid deflation which can result in a loss of adequate air support to maintain the structure of the inflatable device.

Hey all: While I'm on vacation… well I want to be on vacation so I've got a few things up my sleeve to publish while I'm away, but postings this week will be few and far between.
First up, a story from my new friend Kim. This is a story of inspiration and how, if you think you can't you probably should just go ahead and believe in yourself because, like Kim, you CAN! Enjoy!
For quite some time I have been meaning to sit down and put all of these thoughts swimming in my mind into writing. The perfectionist in me was holding me back as I felt like I didn't have the adequate time to exactly put into words my feelings, but that ends now. Here it goes…
I guess one could say that I started out as a FB stalker. I have a friend who follows MomSwimBikeRun (MSBR—my own shortened version) on FB. About a year ago I started noticing her comment on various MSBR posts. When I think back the first comments I remember were in regards to a planking challenge that MSBR was having. I thought that's pretty cool, but only kept "stalking" the comments and wasn't a follower of MSBR yet.
Over the next few months I noticed this same friend commenting on MSBR FB posts regarding "deck of cards workouts" in the driveway. It was the early part of summer vacation of 2013, and several moms would get together in a driveway (or maybe sometimes a yard) and participate in different workouts using a deck of cards as their guide for which exercises to do. Yep, at this point I still just remained a stalker. I thought it was so neat that these women would get together and exercise like this. I imagined them cheering each other on and kids running around having fun. A win-win for everyone, but I was too scared to ask if I could participate. I was thinking I probably couldn't do what they were doing anyways.
As the summer went on I decided to start following MSBR on FB. I believe it was early August, and I started to read some of Susan's blog posts. I follow several clean eating, and health & fitness role models and there is something about MSBR that really hit me. She tells it like it is and shares her awesome accomplishments as well as her true life struggles. In my mind, this is a perfect balance. I sent her a private message after reading one particular blog post and thanked her for being so real.
This brings us to the fall. School has started and so have fall activities. Wouldn't you know it?! Our daughters have been assigned to the same soccer team and Susan's hubby is one of the team coaches. Isn't it funny how our lives cross each other's path sometimes? I was reading more and more blog posts and following MSBR daily workouts on FB. I would marvel at the fact that she would get up super early to get a kickass workout in before coming to watch her daughter plan soccer on a Saturday morning! Let alone all the weekday workouts and different races and or competitions she participated in. I was really into following MSBR and she was becoming more and more of an inspiration to me. Yet I never had the courage to go up to her at any of the soccer games and introduce myself in person. I was becoming the ultimate stalker.
Throughout the fall I kept following her daily FB posts as well as reading blog posts here and there. One of the fun activities that Susan does is monthly challenges. In December of 2013 she had a burpee challenge. It was 30 days to 100 burpees (in one day!). I went out on a limb and decided to join the challenge. What did I have to lose? And extra exciting was my friend Carrie from IN started following MSBR and did the burpee challenge with us. I wasn't doing any other consistent exercise at this time. So I put my heart into the burpee challenge, never missing a day. And I was so proud of myself for completing this challenge. I even won a drawing one day and received a gift certificate to Whole Foods. Who wouldn't love this?
It must have been late December that I was following a post about MSBR running another race or getting ready for the Pittsburgh Marathon. I mentioned that running had always been my nemesis, and it was a goal of mine to one day truly learn how to run. Susan mentioned a race coming up in March, and I thought I could probably handle a 5K but had no genuine plans. That is until she forwarded me an email from Mojo announcing their next C25K program to start in January. After thinking about it for a few days I decided I would give it a go. The night before the informational meeting I was getting nervous about committing to a running program. I mean, I really didn't think I could become a runner. I sent Susan a PM on FB mentioning I was nervous about the meeting. We messaged back and forth and this is basically how we really got to know each other. I guess this was sort of a "workout buddy to be" getting to know each other session online! Susan really encouraged me to go the meeting. She assured me that Mojo people were fantastic and that I really had nothing to lose by going to the meeting. I remember being so thankful that she took the time to chat with me and to encourage me to go for it!
Susan was right! The meeting was a breeze and I was on my way to training for my first C25K. For the record I had walked a couple of 5Ks in previous years, but never ran one!
Wouldn't you know that this winter was one of the worst in terms of temps? I couldn't meet with me C25K group for all of the group scheduled runs. One day I threw up a request on FB for someone to please run with me outside. I think the temps were supposed to be barely in the 20's with lots of wind and snow of course. Naturally there were not a lot of people jumping on board for such a crazy request. MomSwimBikeRun came to my rescue! Susan agreed to meet me for a very cold run. At this point in my training I was at a run/walk, and she never left my side. I had such a great time running with her. I mean how cool was it to be running with someone who had been inspiring me for longer than she knew? It definitely lifted my confidence!
We continued meeting most Thursday mornings during my training over the next eight weeks. I think it must have been either our first or second run that we discussed how I learned about her MomSwimBikeRun page through a mutual friend and that our daughters were on a soccer team together. Yep…my stalking days were officially over. There was a friendship developing! I also became somewhat of a regular on her blog posts as part of the requirement of her running with you is that you take a selfie at the end of the run. How fun is that? I was officially a part of workout blog posts with the very woman who inspired me to go after something that I thought I could never do. I did have to tease her after one of our photos as I noticed she slipped off her headband and fluffed her hair. Here she was looking all pretty after a sweaty run, and I'm looking like a sweaty hot mess!
Being the well rounded athlete that she is, Susan also does cross training. Specifically she is a Crossift warrior! She just so happens to do Crossfit with one of my running trainers (the owner) from Mojo. My Mojo C25K trainer had just come from a Crossfit class one Saturday morning as we were preparing for a training run. She told me that Susan mentioned running with me. Susan told her that she thought I was doing very well and was going to be a really strong runner with time and training. My Mojo trainer agreed. Can you imagine my excitement? I was truly humbled by this. Never in a million years did I imagine that the woman who inspired me would not only be running with me but also thinks I have potential to be a good runner. Talk about inspiration and motivation!
Nearing the end of my C25K training I was getting pretty nervous for running my first 5K. Now I realize it's only 3.1 miles, but I still had the nervous belly going! Susan sent me a very nice message the night before and a text very early the morning of my race. I was excited and nervous! My Mojo trainers and peeps were all pumped and ready to go that day in early March. I raced my heart out! The whole time I felt like I was running so slow yet I was out of breath. My trainer was encouraging me to keep on going and reach a certain pace, and eventually I crossed that finish line with a huge smile on my face as I saw my husband and kids waiting for me with a banner. It was so emotional to see my family and to cheer on my Mojo family! After all of our C25K runners crossed the line and started chatting I wanted to find out what my official time was. I had an idea from the timer, but honestly I had forgotten exactly what it was from all of the excitement going on. My official time was 30:16 with a 9:46/mile pace. And my goal was to do it in 34 minutes. Susan was the first person I texted. I couldn't wait to share my exciting news with her after all the inspiration and training along the way! She knew my goal was 34 minutes, and I suspect she knew I could do it more so than I thought I could.
So does the inspiration end here? Heck no! The day after running my first 5K I ran 5 miles with Susan. I think I was running with a runner's high from the previous day!
Along with my newfound love of that great feeling after an awesome run, a handful of us from my C25K group decided to run as a relay team at the Pittsburgh Marathon in early May. Honestly, I think Susan is just as excited as we are. It's because of her prompting me to sign up for the C25K training group with Mojo that I'm sitting here typing about my whole experience and how Susan inspires and motivates me. Not only has she inspired me to become a runner, but she has also inspired me to incorporate cross training into my life. Specifically, I've decided to start Crossfit!
At the end of our C25K journey our Mojo trainer invited us to an intro class at Crossfit. It was such an exciting night. Susan along with my Mojo trainer really encouraged me to take this on. I'm very excited to take on this new challenge! And it doesn't end there. I'm planning on running my first half marathon in the fall of 2014. Susan has already sent me a list of possible half marathons to start thinking about! Haha!
So there you have it! A very long winded version of how I started following MomSwimBikeRun. I enjoy reading about her daily training sessions, her achievements and her good and bad days. Susan has inspired me to go after things I only ever thought about before. What started out as FB stalking has turned into a friendship that I will forever be grateful for. I suspect that Susan and I will be logging many, many miles together.

Melissa McCarthy goes back to college in "Life of the Party," but it's the movie that needs to get schooled.
McCarthy co-wrote the film opening Friday with her husband, Ben Falcone, who also directed, but the jokes don't connect. The scenes don't build. The couple needs some remedial classes in filmmaking, fast.
The movie stars McCarthy as Deanna, a recent divorcee who decides to re-boot her life by finally getting her degree. Of course she decides to do that at the same college her daughter is attending.
So I guess I'm not the only one who remembers Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School."
McCarthy and Falcone want to go for something a little lighter and more empowering than that, though. So Deanna, of course, really decides to major in Me — while encouraging all her new sorority sisters to build their own you-go-girl confidence.
The problem is, the movie is so determined to be upbeat, it never comes up with any real conflict. Nothing's at stake.
Deanna's daughter, played by Molly Gordon, is a little surprised to see Mom on campus, but quickly accepts her. Her friends all think her Mom's great. Her professor declares Deanna his favorite student.
Even comedies need drama, but "Life of the Party" can't think of a thing. Deanna's scared of public speaking — but quickly overcomes it. A disagreement with her daughter finally arises — and is speedily resolved. Other crises are almost immediately averted.
There are a few smiles. McCarthy is a great verbal comedian, and occasionally the movie just lets her rip, riffing on Goth roommates and hook-up sex. That she quickly lands a hunky boy-toy lover is improbable, but kind of nice. Falcone gives her lots of flattering closeups.
But Deanna's change from middle-aged matron to college hottie happens in minutes. And the physical comedy — a nervous speech where she begins to pour sweat, a stoned scene where she shoves cake in her face — seem designed to make her look ridiculous.
McCarthy is clearly comfortable with that. She always has been. But there's a difference between humor and humiliation, and her willingness to cross that line smacks of desperation.
Some of her sorority sisters add entertaining quirks — like Jessie Ennis as a guileless redhead who's always one step behind, or Gillian Jacobs as a young woman who just woke up from a coma. But the others blur together.
And while it's always a pleasure to see Maya Rudolph, who shows up here playing Deannna's girlfriend, someone has to tell the filmmakers that "drunk and horny" is a way to play a character. It is not a character itself.
McCarthy and Falcone are clearly in love, and it's nice they like to do things together, but does it have to be movies? First "Tammy," then "The Boss," now this? Togetherness is great, but how about they team up for something else? Like planting a garden?
They've already got the fertilizer.

Narcotics Detectives Arrest 1 For Distribution of THC
St. Mary Parish Scott Anslum advises that Narcotics Detectives Arrest 1 for Distribution of THC
Clifford Lejeune, 34, 4835 Arnold Road, Gueydan, LA was arrested on August 7, 2018, at 3:23 pm for possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Victor Pisani Sr., 39, 1269 Delmar Avenue, Bayou Vista, LA was arrested on August 7, 2018, at 5:26 pm for possession of Schedule I THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) with intent to distribute and violation of controlled dangerous substance drug-free zone.
St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Narcotics Section detectives along with the Morgan City Police Department Narcotics Division and Louisiana Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) Agents executed a search warrant at Cloud Busters Vape Shop in Bayou Vista. The warrant stems from an investigation initiated after narcotics detectives learned that the business owner, Pisani was purchasing and selling CBD hemp flower and CBD gummies. Through the investigation, detectives obtained a pack of the CBD hemp flower which was sent to a crime lab and tested positive for marijuana/THC. During the search of the business, which is located within 2,000 feet of a local school, detectives located several packages of CBD hemp flower and CBD gummies ready for sale. The items have an estimated street value of $2,666. Detectives also learned that several of the packages were listed on the ATC cease and desist warning notice list.
Detectives made contact with Lejeune as he exited Cloud Busters Vape Shop. Detectives explained the search warrant to Lejeune and he gave them consent to search his person. Detectives located methamphetamine and a glass pipe in Lejeune's pocket.
Lejeune and Pisani were transported to the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center for booking. No bail is set for Lejeune. Pisani was released on a $7,500 bond.

Emerich Freiherr von Kaiffel
Emerich Kaiffel was born as the son of an officer on the 5th of September 1819 at Abralon (Hungary). He entered military education at the early age of 9 with the cadet company at Graz and was transferred to infantry regiment number 16 on the 1st of May 1835 as a cadet. After successfully graduating he received the promotions to Fähnrich (16th February 1836) and to Leutnant (16th March 1842) within the same regiment. From 1845 he was engaged as a brigade adjutant and later as a divisional adjutant shortly followed by his promotion to Oberleutnant on the 10th of December 1847. During the revolutionary wars of 1848/49, Kaiffel took part in all the major engagements of his regiment in Hungary. For his distinguished performance he was promoted to Hauptmann 2nd class on the 20th of April 1849 soon followed by his promotion to Hauptmann 1st class on the 16th of September of the same year. When the Franco-Austrian war began in Italy, Emerich Kaiffel, promoted to Major on the 1st of June 1859, was appointed to form the new 6th battalion of the regiment in Bohemia while his regiment fought with honor as part of the 1st Army Corps at Solferino. As commander of that battalion he received his promotion to Oberstleutnant on the 8th of July 1865. During the war of 1866 the regiment, meanwhile garrisoned at Mainz, became part of the division of Feldmarschall-Leutnant Graf Neipperg in the Northern theatre and he participated in all the major battles of his regiment. The regiment suffered especially heavy losses during the battle near Aschaffenburg on the 14th of July.
On the 9th of November 1867 Oberstleutnant Kaiffel was promoted to Oberst and took over command of infantry regiment number 7. When the insurrection in Southern Dalmatia broke out in 1869, Oberst Kaiffel and his regiment took a prominent and distinguished role in the suppression of the rebellion. The regiment arrived on the 24th of October 1869 at Cattaro from where they were transported with several vehicles to Risano. While the 2nd and 3rd battalion remained in Risano on security and protection duties, the 1st battalion advanced into the area of the rebellion. They took part in the actions near Ham on the 26th of October, St. Barbara and St.Giorgio on the 2nd of November and on the 3rd expedition into the Krivoscie. For the distinguished way in which he had commanded his regiment during this campaign of the winter 1869/70 Oberst Kaiffel was honored with the award of the 3rd class of the Order of the Iron Crown with war decoration on the 15th of January 1870. In August 1874 Emerich Kaiffel assumed command of the 27th infantry brigade at Pressburg followed by his promotion to Generalmajor on the 1st of May 1875 with seniority from the 22nd of April.
On the 13th of October 1877 he was transferred to Peterwardein as commander of the 39th infantry brigade. With this brigade he played an important part in the war of the following year in Bosnia and the Herzegovina. During the battle of Belolovac, Generalmajor Kaiffel successfully commanded the centre and during the capture of Sarajevo the right wing of the Austrian troops. During the latter action his brigade achieved outstanding credit by storming the crest near Trebevic. After the take of Sarajevo Generalmajor Kaiffel was appointed as town major. Holding this post he was able to pacify and reorganize the town in unexpectedly short period of time. On the 22nd of August 1878 he assumed the interim command of the 20th infantry division. For his excellent conduct during the whole campaign and in face of his 50 years of irreproachable service in the army Generalmajor Emerich Kaiffel was honoured with the award of the knight's cross of the Order of Leopold with war decoration on the 21st of October 1878. On the 18th of November 1878 his interim command became permanent and he was additionally appointed as commander of the fortress and the area of Brod.
On the 13th of March 1879 Generalmajor Kaiffel was ennobled with the title of "Ritter von" and on the 26th of October 1879 Emerich Ritter von Kaiffel was promoted to Feldmarschall-Leutnant. For his efforts as commander of the 20th division and the fortress of Brod he received the commendation of the Kaiser on the 23rd of December 1879 which allowed him to later wear the Bronze Military Merit Medal (Signum Laudis) on a red ribbon when this medal was introduced in 1890. On the 21st of February 1880 Feldmarschall-Leutnant Ritter von Kaiffel was appointed Platz-Komandant (town-major) of Vienna. He held this important and prestigious post for the following 11 years receiving a numerous honours and decorations: the grand cross of the Italian Order of the Crown (4th April 1882), the title of Oberstinhaber of infantry regiment number 89 (14th of April 1885), the title of Geheimer Rat (7th November 1886), on the occasion of his 60 year on active service the 1st class of the Order of the Iron Crown with war decoration of the 3rd class on the 13th of October 1887, the 1st class of the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle (8th of January 1889) and the 1st class of the Persian Order of the Sun and the Lion on the 5th of October 1889. After his 72nd birthday and nearly 64 years of active service he tendered his resignation from the post on health grounds which was permitted on the 16th of October 1891. On the 5th of December 1891 he received his final retirement with effect from the 1st of January 1892. For his outstanding performance during his entire service he was promoted to the brevet or honorary rank of Feldzeugmeister (mit Titel und Charakter) with effect from the 5th of December and raised to an Austrian barony with the title of "Freiherr von" with effect from the 21st of December 1891. Feldzeugmeister Emerich Freiherr von Kaiffel died at Vienna on the 6th of December 1892.

A History of Skiing in The Tetons
In 1965 Jackson Hole Mountain Resort officially opened for the 1965/66 winter season, and Jackson Hole started its journey to become one of the most iconic ski towns in the world. Over the course of Jackson Hole's now 50 continuous years of servicing skiers seeking to try some of the most difficult terrain in North America, the resort and the Jackson Hole area have provided some of the most influential moments in skiing history.
Winter Wildlife in Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole: Not Just a Ski Town
Growing up on the east coast Jackson Hole was like an R rated movie; all of my friends had heard about how mind blowing it was, but none of us had actually seen it. We would pass along tales of the long snow filled runs, and the legendary Corbet's Couloir. We never considered Jackson Hole's rich history, or how magical Teton National Park is. Now that I have lived in Jackson for three seasons I am amazed at how many activities there are in the winter, with so many to choose from, I tried to narrow it down to the best of the best.Read More...

A former advertising planner in Beijing TV, currently a full time mom of three boys in Irvine California, Miaolian's journey in Chan started in a random Saturday afternoon in 2008 in a community park. She was taking her sons out for some afternoon outdoor activities and ran into a Chan class offered at the community center in the park.
In 2011 she went to Taiwan to participate in the founding of Shakyamuni Buddhist foundation. Right before the ceremony, the moment she put on the dharma robe for the first time, her heart was deeply touched by a warmness that she never felt before and tears came out uncontrollably. While meeting the 85th Chan Patriarch Wujue Miaotian later the same day, she asked to take refuge with the master and her wish was granted right away.
In 2012, she was in Taiwan to share her Chan experience in a dharma assembly of 20000+ people and was ordained right before the assembly.
Currently she resides in Irvine, California and shares Chan teachings at Irvine Center.

Rainforest Wisdom offers us a model on how to thrive amidst diversity through creative cooperation
What makes life so abundant and multiple in this forest? How can countless beings of varied forms and different needs, live in balance sharing limited resources such as space, water, sunshine and scarce nutrients?
The answer lies on the fact that it is not the rules of competition which prevail, but actually those of cooperation. From scarcity and diversity, abundance and balance is generated. The key words are collaboration, self-organization, interdependency, resilience, freedom, originality, creativity and respect.
How to prosper from diversity instead of fighting it? How to evolve, without threatening the life and well being of all species? How to create abundance where there is a sense of scarcity? How to create resilience and undertake change in a positive way?
In this moment in history, when the pillars of the current model of society are being deeply questioned, this forest is a legacy of wisdom.
The Araretama System, a Therapeutic and Educational Platform, brings forth Sandra Epstein's research on the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Through her studies, she developed a whole paradigm to collaborate with the creation of a new planetary culture using the biological social behaviors from plants, as an example of collaboration for humanity's evolution.
As a species, we are instinctively oriented to separate ourselves from others that are different in race and culture. The very opposite happens in the Atlantic Rainforest: plants come together and it is through their differences that they build a whole tapestry of life, weaving a complex web that supports creative survival and abundance.

Anthem is likely to pull back from Obamacare's individual insurance markets in a big way for next year, according to a report from analysts who said they met with the company, a move that could limit coverage options for consumers at a politically crucial time for the law.
Anthem "is leaning toward exiting a high percentage of the 144 rating regions in which it currently participates," Jefferies analysts David Windley and David Styblo said Thursday in a research note.
An exit by Anthem might be devastating to insurance markets created by the Affordable Care Act, which is often called Obamacare. The company, which sells coverage under the Blue Cross and Blue Shield brand in 14 states, is one of the few big insurers that has stuck with the ACA. UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Aetna Inc. have already exited most states, and Humana Inc. is planning to stop offering individual ACA plans entirely for 2018.
If Anthem quits, consumers in parts of Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio would be at risk of having no Obamacare insurers for next year, according to an analysis from Axios, a news website. Humana's exit, similarly, will leave parts of Tennessee with no ACA insurance options, though state officials have said they're working to attract other insurers.
In Connecticut, Anthem's departure would leave Connecticare as the only provider of Obamacare in the individual market.
Anthem is in dialogue with the administration "to emphasize the importance of regulatory and statutory changes in order to ensure sustainability and affordability of the individual market for consumers," according to an emailed statement. The company continues to "actively pursue policy changes that will help with market stabilization and achieve the common goal of making quality health care more affordable and accessible for all."
The pullout would also give more ammunition to President Donald Trump's administration and Republican lawmakers, who have hedged on their plans for supporting President Barack Obama's health program after a failed attempt to repeal and replace it. Trump has said the health law is "exploding" and mused about letting it collapse.
"It's imploding and soon will explode and it's not going to be pretty," Trump said on March 24, after Republican lawmakers pulled their proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare due to lack of party support.
Some Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives have discussed quickly reviving their Obamacare repeal efforts. Others have expressed a desire to move on to overhauling the tax code and funding infrastructure projects, saying the party hasn't yet reached a consensus on health care.
At the same time, Democrats are likely to blame any weaknesses in the health law's markets on the Trump administration. The administration faces a number of crucial decisions over the coming months that could help stabilize the health law or undermine it.
Anthem's management said that in order to participate in the ACA, the company needs to see changes beyond a slate of fixes proposed by the Trump administration in February, according to the Jefferies report. And they said Anthem's management expects approval of "substantial" premium increases for 2018.
Latest Business
As of Dec. 31, Anthem had 1.3 million customers in individual plans that comply with the ACA's requirements, including 839,000 from the health law's markets, called exchanges. Plans that comply with the ACA can also be purchased outside the exchanges, such as directly from an insurance company, but those plans aren't eligible for the health law's subsidies.
Anthem Chief Executive Officer Joe Swedish had earlier said the company will decide where to offer Obamacare plans by the middle of the year. Anthem has to decide "whether or not we surgically extract ourselves from certain rating regions, or quite frankly even on a larger scale, depending on the stability of the marketplace," he said in February.
"If we can't see stability going into 2018 with respect to either pricing, product, or the overall rules of engagement, then we will begin making some very conscious decisions with respect to extracting ourselves," Swedish said on a call with Wall Street analysts to discuss fourth-quarter results. Ratings regions are geographic areas where insurers sell health plans.

THE Chinese government is exasperated at criticism by "smart" Zimbabweans who do not appreciate what the Asian economic behemoth is doing in the country.
Acting Chinese envoy Zhao Baogang on Thursday came out swinging after former Zanu PF MP and losing presidential candidate Daniel Shumba, claimed that China had deployed some 4 000 of its nationals in the Chiadzwa diamond fields before government shut down the companies.
"I think we have very good co-operation with Zimbabwe including in the diamond sector. You claim we deployed 4 000 Chinese in Marange, but that is a lie.
At most we deployed 100 people or 70 in that area and employed thousands. I know the company and will never allow such kind of exaggeration," Zhao said.
The Chinese representative in Harare said the Asian country through its investments in Zimbabwe has provided "thousands" of jobs to locals.
He also reacted for the first time to claims that Chinese companies were involved in the plunder of Zimbabwean gems to the tune of $15 billion. Former President Robert Mugabe made the claim but later admitted this had been political banter.
"We must stick to the facts. There was no plunder in Chiadzwa, we have co-operation with the government. If there were any problems, they should be resolved with us, not refer to it as plunder. Government woke up and changed its policy shutting down the companies. This reduced production from 30 million carats to three million carats of diamonds. Those Chinese investors suffered loses.
"You have also continued to associate China with the $15 billion even when Mugabe himself has said it was a joke. You say we plundered it, but there is no evidence," the ambassador said.
But Shumba was not done yet.
"You must understand that you are wrong, but China's co-operation with the military never came to Parliament. The hard iron hand and financing of military equipment by China has not received parliamentary approval," the retired top soldier said.
"Yes, the West has slapped Zimbabwe with sanctions, it's wrong we don't like it, but the country has invited the sanctions. But not putting sanctions on Zimbabwe does not translate into working in the best interests of the country."
Regarding suggestions that China has been selling Zimbabwe "hot-air" as most of the so-called "mega-deals" have failed to get off the ground, Zhao said: "We are left wondering how people come to the conclusion that China does not have confidence in Mnangagwa's government. If we did not have confidence in him, would we have immediately sent a special envoy to his inauguration and invited him to China?"

'1968-1972' - This collection brings together rarities from well-known artists like Abstract Truth, Suck, Otis Waygood, Freedom's Children, John & Philipa Cooper, McCully Workshop and Hawk, as well as lesser known acts like Buzzard, The Fireflies, The Idiots, Tidal Wave, and The Invaders.
Although the South African rock movement of the late sixties and early seventies was not a major commercial success, its participants heralded an exciting new age in South African rock and started a movement aimed at changing the musical tastes of fans in a spectacular way. Stadium concerts became the vehicle for feeding the youth with heavier rock sounds, and behind studio glass were producers like Clive Calder, Billy Forrest, Graham Beggs and Selwyn Miller who acted as change agents to transform conventional pop into heavier 4 to 5 minute songs.
The movement's struggle for recognition through airplay remained unanswered and only the true fans of rock knew about their existence.

So I started my thesis 'officially' yesterday, after being told we all were allowed to proceed to masters following the exam board meeting. No actual results posted up yet, but hopefully I did well!
In preparation for writing a master thesis we have to write a 3000 word dissertation plan, with at least 8 relevant papers for the literature review. My 4th your honours project didn't really involve much of a literature review, so the prospect of organising papers and knowing which bits are important is a bit of a daunting task. I spent a long time going through Wikipedia's list of reference managament software hoping to find something useful. Most of them are either not free, for Linux or Mac only or are rather shoddy. A couple looked promising but ended up just being a sort of address book for PDFs where you had to manually enter in all the data. I was all ready to give up - until I found Mendeley.
I asked one of my lecturers about doing text visualisation as my masters thesis and he said it sounded great, even emailed me a paper to read! I don't have an exact question yet, but it'll be something along the lines of visualising web browser history. I'm quite excited about it weeee! I'll have to find out from actual forensic investigators how they use browser history and what they search for to see what is best visualised. Might be able to extend it to general log files, depends on what I find out! The result would hopefully be to produce a program (probably a web app with fancy ajax) that visualises the output of Pasco/WebHistorian etc effectively.
Sorry for not blogging recently, I have been writing a ridiculously long piece of coursework (7,441 words at 18 pages) on malware and virtual machines which was due in today.
When I first looked at my timetable I thought I'd be in from 10am to 5pm every day, rarely having breaks other than for lunch. All my classes were in 2 hour blocks with some labs scheduled for 3 hours. It looked like a tough schedule, with little time for private study and coursework – especially since 4 out of 5 of the courses this term are 100% coursework based.
Strathclyde have adopted an attendance register for every class and students may get penalised for not attending enough classes. My fellow classmates tell me this also happened in their undergrad universities. Is this normal? Is Edinburgh University weird to allow students completely free choice whether they attend lectures?

I am starting a masters in Forensics Informatics in September, so will post anything interesting I learn here. I'm also really interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and general art and design, and computers in general! Hobbies wise, I own two rabbits called Pixel and Nybble and I love to cook.

Jon Bon Jovi may no longer own a sports team in Philadelphia, but he still keeps the place close to his soul, opening a new homeless shelter.
The rocker has returned to the city to lend his star power to the opening of a new centre for teenagers and young adults.
The New Jersey native, a longtime advocate for homeless causes, said allowing young people to fall through society's cracks "denies all of us their talents and visions".
The Covenant House facility will house 20 people, aged 18 to 21, many of whom have aged out of the foster-care system or formerly lived on the streets.
The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation contributed to the 3 million dollar facility. The Livin' on a Prayer singer used to be an owner of the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League. He was recently named to US president Barack Obama's White House Council for Community Solutions.
Bon Jovi has been rocking for more than two decades with songs including Bed of Roses and It's My Life. The band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
Covenant House works with homeless young adults in the US, Canada and Latin America.
