Turning the 31 is another remarkable milestone I have achieved in my life. As most people would jokingly rib that "31 is the last number in the calendar" but for me it is a high time to look back and reflect everything I know about myself or perhaps the things that my friends and families don't wanna know about me. In this way, I can discern what I have been through all these years.
1. I was born with no hair. My parents would wrap colorful fabrics on my head to hide my baldness. But still.. nagmumukha tuloy akong albularyo.
2. I am the eldest among the three. But I look like the youngest of them all..hahaha..peace little sister Ritchelle. Love naman kita lage.
3. I love dancing. Way back in HS I joined the 'Surigenia Dance Troupe' because I enjoy formulating steps with a beat. The exciting part is that I can visit other places to perform..Nakakaabot tuloy ako sa Cebu City for Sinulog Festival Dance Competition.
4. I love singing. Maybe because the talent was passed on from generation to generation. My Papa is a good singer and so with his siblings. But to prove my talent, I joined a singing competition in elementary and won the second place, pero nakakatuwa kasi tatlo lang kami contestant sa category na yon. But seriously, I am a member of a church choir where we sing during 5AM mass. Maaga pa ako sa manok kung gumising at tumilaok.
5. I love traveling. This can be proven with the photos I have kept in my album and folders. Mahilig kasi ako sa adventure kaya napangasawa ko adventurer din. At someday sana makapunta ako sa Mt.Everest (in my dreams). Whew!
6. I love the beach. Back in my early childhood days, I used to spend summer vacation in my dad's hometown. Gosh I can stay the whole day near the beach, trying to catch crabs, find shells, and do anything that is fun under the sun. No wonder I look so negra at that time.
7. I have tried curly hair only once. This happens when I was eight years old, in the mid-80s and my idol at that time was Madonna, a really material girl.
8. It's unnerving for me to see a dead body, but I love crime investigation. I watched Criminal Minds CSI Miami. I love the twists of the story and how the case is being solved especially when the culprit is arrested.
9. I used to love watching "Baywatch". I'm amazed of how beautiful Pamela Anderson is. But when her scandal video spread out, I'm not really affected. Kasi celebrity naman sya.
10. I have stage fright but I was actively performing in HS and College or even took teaching job in a university. I have also been asked to be an emcee or conducted trainings. I just pretend I am blind when I'm in front of people.
11. Right after college, I got the teaching job – perhaps it is my calling. Because even how petite and small I am, I can discipline and tamed down my students who are bigger and taller than me lalo na ang mga barakong lalaki.
12. If I didn't take up IT, I would love to be a nurse. Once my roommate was struck by fever, I stayed up late and checking her conditions every now and then making sure she took the meds accurately. Kuha ko na ang motto ng nurse "caring for the sick". Kahit ngaun, I'm learning and making research on health care and wellness then I share it to my friends.
13. I've never smoked. It's disgusting and the smell kills me. It's like you're pumping tons of carcinogen in your body. Pasalamat ako my husband quit smoking since he got in Oman.
14. I don't really like drinking alcohol. I can only tolerate 2 alcoholic drinks at most then I start laughing and morphing into a starlet.
15. I used to like parties and discos. But gusto ko kasama lage asawa ko kasi sya nagbabayad ng entrance at drinks.
16.My definition of make-up is lipstick and lip gloss. That's why I carry a two-in-one set. Ang hirap kasi maglagay ng mascara, tapos kailangan pang i-curl.
17. I am not like most women who love to shop. I prefer window shopping most of the time – going to several stores, checking the new styles, fitting them, then putting them back in the stand. I'd rather buy things for my kids than for myself. But like most girls, I appreciate flowers and chocolates every now and then – you know the old-fashioned ways.
18. Why was PE ever invented? When I was in college, I took up swimming and really learn how to swim. At that time, I can swim two laps para lang ma exempted sa final exam.
19. In college, I have a wonderful set of friends in my dorm. We called ourselves the "summer girls". You see I'm really good at making friends and forming groups.
20. I'm not really a techno-savvy person. I have this cellphone that I'm using for more than three years. What is important for me lang kasi is makatawag n makatext.
21. I love art and craft. That's the reason why I collected things and turn them into something new and creative. Even at home, I used to come up with different styles and decoration. Gusto ko kasi lagging meron something bago.
22. I have no idea whatsoever how the stock market works or how financial companies manage assets. Basta I just invested and buy mutual funds, kasi sabi nila it is an enforced savings after many years lalaki daw pera ko.
23. If I don't agree, I just hide it in the guise of a sweet, saccharine smile to prove my point and said "ikaw bahala ka".
24. Food is my fascination. I've tried cooking when I was age seven. But really my passion for food started in High School when i took up Home Economics class. I even won second place with my "AROZCALDO" version.
25. I love to commute and remembering places. Seriously, I have a good topographic memory. Kaya nga na miss ko na magtaxi dito sa Oman dahil may sarili na akong driver. Pero di bali, im a co-pilot of my husband kasi ako ang Human GPS nya.
26. I hate clutter. Before I do something particularly stressful, like study for an exam or make a report, I clean up my desk, the house and the kitchen if I have to just to feel a sense of order and accomplishment. Does this fit in the DSM criteria for Obsessive-compulsive disorder?
27. You'll know when I'm really mad already. I never swear but I don't speak a word. For me silence is a better option until my mind is clear and I can voice out what I want to say. Kasi it is hard to take back hurting words, di ba?.
28. I love my kids – Andrei and Anyah. They're my heaven on earth and my treasures for life. I always said " sarap ng may bata".
29. I love the feeling of motherhood and wifehood. Doing and thinking many things at the same time. I can be an android of force. After all, pag masaya ang family ko..satisfied na ako.
30. My pursuit of happiness is my family. I draw my strength and inspiration from them. I believe that I can do things, because I have been blessed with a strong family unit. Kaya nga maaga ako nag-asawa eh.
31. I'm dreaming to have diamond jewelry before I get 31. And it came to me like an answered prayer. When I woke up in the morning of my 31st birthday, my husband Jesse opened a small black box hide beneath my pillow and took out a beautiful diamond ring and slipped it into my left ringed finger. Grabe! Super sarap ng feeling para akong nanalo ng lotto! Yoohooo…
Well, these are just few of the things that create true meaning to my own self. I know, as I grew older, more things will come which I hope and pray will help me become wiser and stronger.

Our friend Stanley – Namibia
February 2nd, 2015, Stanley Kotze, a worship leader from Namibia, came to surprise a brother of Grace Klein Community. Scott Johnson and his family have served as missionaries in Namibia for several years and had to return to the United States unexpectedly due to an unforeseen circumstance. God opened the door for Stanley to surprise Scott for his birthday and through that blessing, Stanley was able to lead two prayer nights and a worship gathering for Grace Klein Community. Two years ago, Stanley was able to lead a worship gathering with Grace Klein Community, so it was such a delight to have him back with us.
Please pray for his oldest daughter, as shortly after his return to Namibia, she was kicked in the femur by a horse and has required a subsequent emergency surgery. Also, pray for Stanley and his family as they continue to build community through house church gatherings in their home country.

The people to blame for those premature grey flecks on your 30-year-old head? Your dad and your boss. Here's what you need to know about greying early.
1. Keep calm and prevent greying
Those first few greys will significantly mulitply if you're dealing with high stress levels. It may sound like hokum, but maintaining a meditative state and having a positive attitude are your first steps in keeping control of your mane.
2. Stop smoking
You already know smoking causes your skin and hair to age prematurely. Kicking the butt increases blood circulation, reducing the greys.
3. Stay hydrated
Reduce your caffeine and alcohol intake by switching to water instead. Also avoid fried, spicy and acidic foods as they tend to deplete the body of water, dehydrating it further. Lack of moisture will prevent nutrients from reaching the hair follicles.
4. Supplement your diet
Copper and vitamin B12 deficiencies aggravate premature graying. Supplement your regular diet with a multivitamin to combat this, doubling your efforts by increasing your intake of Omega 3 fatty acids. Protein also gives hair lustre and shine, so don't say no to that second helping of grilled chicken.
5. Exercise and rest well
Exercising regularly will help increase blood flow and circulation as well as keep you fit. Treat your scalp to a massage to stimulate the hair follicles.
6. Flaunt your grays
Ultimately, we're all slaves to our genes. So if you must succumb to a head full of grey, take a page out of George 'lady killer' Clooney's book and flaunt them confidently. A shampoo designed for grey hair will help keep that unsightly yellow tinge at bay.

Press release from Subway and the American Cancer Society:
ASHEVILLE, N.C., February 21, 2018 — Winter weather has impacted donations in this year's local Coaches vs. Cancer campaign underway now through Feb. 28 at local Subway® restaurants in Western North Carolina.
Khalid Ahmad, who owns several Subway restaurants in Charlotte and Western North Carolina, is battling cancer, and appreciative of the community's support for an important cause that effects so many people.
"I'm grateful to the Duke medical team who is helping me," said Ahmad, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment after surgery to remove a brain tumor at Duke Cancer Institute. "For me and many others, the battle is not over and we look forward to a future without cancer."
American Cancer Society representatives want to remind the community that donations of any amount are still being accepted for the rest of February, which is National Cancer Prevention Month. All of the dollars raised will help people battling cancer in the local community through research, coordinating rides to treatments, providing lodging and other patient services.
"Our goal is to raise $25,000 in honor of Coaches vs. Cancer's 25th anniversary," said Ivan Schwartz, executive director of the American Cancer Society in the Southeast Region. "With only one week to go, we're over half way to reaching our goal. These contributions will help ACS save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer."

Watch First Derm launch on stage here.
This interview with First Derm founders Connor Church (left), Alexander Börve (center), and Nick Hu (right) was conducted by the Job Portraits team during the LAUNCH Festival.
Tell us what your company does.
Alexander: We do online dermatology. With First Derm, you can take an image of any skin ailment you might have, send it to us, and we'll have a dermatologist look at it. Within a couple hours they'll send you back a summary of possible diagnoses, as well as advice for treatment and whether you should see a doctor in person.
Right now, in the United States the average wait time is 38 days to see a dermatologist.
Why did you choose this problem, and why are you the right team to solve it?
Alexander: I've been a researcher in the telemedicine space for the last six years. We've found that by sending images to a dermatologist, you can screen away a lot of cases and save people trips to the doctor.
And when people really, really should see a doctor, we can help them know sooner. We're essentially a triage service. Of the people who use First Derm today, 70% are able to treat themselves just with over-the-counter medication.
Everyone on the team has something to do with medicine. I'm a doctor, my cofounder Nick studied Global Health at UC Berkeley, and Conor does business development, but he wants to become a doctor.
How has the LAUNCH Festival experience gone so far?
Alexander: We've been exposed to a lot of different people, from investors to customers to people we might work with in the future. We've loved it.
How was it on stage?
Alexander: The stage was great. Dermatology is a little different from what you would normally think when you talk tech, so we were able to grab the judges' attention.

Here you will find a section of articles that is constantly being updated with articles from various places and medical experts, some have even been written by the ScoliosisNutty Support Group on Yahoo!.
Please check back periodically for the latest articles from around the World.
Please note that ScoliosisNutty does not just concentrate on one specific area of the World, although I am British born and had my surgery in the UK, I support people from all races and places, therefore we cover the history of many conditions as we appreciate that not all countries have the same technologies or use the same techniques.
This whole website has been put together for your viewing and reading pleasure and we hope we can educate as we walk this journey, but do it together. Our bodies are different in weight, height, gender and our twisty #curves are all unique, therefore, our reaction to certain methods for pain are also very different, however, the common goal we all have? Live as pain free with our Scoliosis as we can.
Being pain free requires effort from us as individuals, it doesn't come at the hand of a surgeon's knife, a bottle of pills, a therapy session or special beds, mattresses, shoes - it is a personal commitment and effort that will transform your life.

- Migrated to GDrive
UAV/UAS—see unmanned aerial vehicle, below.
UCAR—typically comes after NCAR: NCAR and UCAR for external audiences; NCAR/UCAR for internal ones.
UCAR members—downcap the m for Comms; upcap for PO style.
UCAR member institutions—Refrain from using "UCAR universities" alone, since some members (e.g., Woods Hole, Scripps) aren't universities; when their academic nature is not apparent, use "member colleges and universities."
under way—two words
UNEP—United Nations Environment Programme (preserve the European spelling)
Unidata—This is not an acronym.
United Kingdom—use England, Scotland, Wales, etc. for people or places in one of these political subdivisions of the U.K. (include periods in abbreviation). But use "the United Kingdom" within a list of countries (e.g., "Canada, Russia, and the United Kingdom). [revised 2/00]
university names—Do not use "The" with names, even when they do (The Johns Hopkins University). Otherwise, follow their style (e.g., University of Colorado Boulder but University of California, Berkeley). Always give full name on first use; if you want to abbreviate, follow standard rule for abbreviations and acronyms. Note that "University at Albany, State University of New York" is the preferred name for the university formerly known as SUNY-Albany. The spellout for a multicampus institution takes an en dash, e.g., University of Wisconsin–Madison, but hyphenate UW-Madison. [updated 02/02]
units of measure—normally given only once: between 5 and 7 km; at 80, 50, and 30 mb. See also metric units, Abbreviations.
UNIX—all caps (computer operating system). But note Linux takes initial cap.
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)/unmanned aerial system (UAS)—These have become industry standards, so it's difficult not to use them. Alternatives: "remotely piloted vehicle" or "robotic aircraft"
upwind—takes "from," not "of": upwind from the site
URLs—For print and online media, when a URL begins with "www,", drop "http://" (www.ucar.edu). For URLs that do not contain "www," preserve "https://" (https://ncar.ucar.edu). Always drop the final slash (not http://ncar.ucar.edu/). [08/10]

Montage Monday: McKayla, "McKyla," and GabbyAnother Montage Monday!
McKayla Maroney. Impressed
This one is by AshleyakaFlipper2 and for McKayla Maroney. McKayla's already tweeted this video, that's how good it is. The video starts with McKayla prepping for TF vault, then gives you a little flashback of her childhood, and Olympic Trials - her journey to the Olympics and to that vault. It reminds you how amazing she is at vaulting but also that she is a decent all-arounder. Throughout the video, I was impatiently waiting for McKayla's TF vault and when it came, I had chills. Ashley did an excellent job building the anticipation and using all the different camera angles to build even more tension. It's amazing!
Watch here or below:
McKayla and Kyla. Count on Me.
There's a really cute video of the "McKyla" friendship. I don't usually like videos with pictures in them but this one is so well done with the right mix of pictures and videos. Of course, my favorite clip of Kyla crying after BB and McKayla rushing to hug her is in it. Pulls on your heart a little. :)
Get to it after the jump:
Watch here or below:
Gabrielle Douglas - Hate it or Love It (Breezy Remix)
Chris Saccullo and D. Santos have made another video tribute to Gabby Douglas. It's to Hate It or Love It by Game ft. 50 Cent. It's amazing how far she's come in that year from the disaster that was 2011 US Nationals to 2012 Olympic All-Around Champion. There's a really funny clip with Steve Penny in it that made me die laughing. Good choice, Chris and D.
Watch here or below:
I think there's one coming up to Aly Raisman soon and the video with just audio is here and I really really like the rap - "most underrated to most decorated". Chris has some advice for those trying to get their videos on youtube without it getting blocked. Use lots and lots of colors! All I can think of when I look at this is Aliya's eye makeup but that's besides the point...
Photo belongs to Chris Saccullo
Thank you! Clicking pic takes you to original tweet where you can enlarge photo
I think next week will be Jordyn Wieber week since a lot of good montages have been made for her and her Olympic journey. Hold tight!

Sleepwalk and Other Stories- A Review
Adrian Tomine is a Brooklyn-based comic creator who has written and illustrated the Optic Nerve series, as well as the books, Summer Blonde and Shortcomings. Furthermore, he contributes comic strips for the New York Times and the New Yorker. While I haven't had a chance to read his earlier work, I recently picked up 'Sleepwalk and other stories' and thoroughly the comic.
It is a comic book which contains sixteen short stories that deal with contemporary relationships or the complete absence of relationships. Raymond Carver once said, "It's possible, in a poem or short story, to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language, and to endow those things—a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman's earring—with immense, even startling power." If you take Mr. carver's word for it, then you're bound to enjoy this comic. Tomine removes the 'happy endings' and instead, uses his stories as a mirror to modern society. I believe that we put all our efforts into achieving fame, money or other selfish ends, and forget to nurture the relationships that we have made in the course of our lives. And i will admit that I am just as guilty as anybody else this applies to. These stories have a resemblance to Carver's style of writing and that is a testament to the quality of work. The characters in the stories exhibit no duality, and you get the feeling that Tomine calls it like he sees it, and there's honestly nothing wrong with that.
The art, i believe, is his strong suit. The characters seem like real people which makes it so easy to relate to them. Tomine doesn't illustrate muscular hulks who can bench-press monster trucks. The panels are well planned and it's easy for a reader to move from one to the next without being distracted. What I really appreciated was that the characters looked American. Tomine is an American, the characters in his comics are American, and they must look so. The reason I say this is because lots of comic creators adapt from the local mythology, yet their style tends towards Manga or the Japanese style of illustration.
In conclusion, I really liked Adrian Tomine's simplistic style of telling stories. If literature consists of books that appeals to men and women as men and women, then this style of work can bring comics into the realm of literature too. Since I've never read his work before, I was not sure what to expect. However, I have now turned into a Tomine fan. I would recommend Sleepwalk and other stories to anyone who loves the medium of comics and is curious about its range.

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Rome Treaties
The building of the European Union is the result of a complex integration process which started 60 years ago with the Rome Treaties. Striking a pause and taking the time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of these Treaties will enable us as European citizens to reflect on the past, take stock of the EU's key achievements and contribute to shaping the EU's future.
The birth of the European Union
On 25 March 1957, representatives of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands signed two treaties in Rome that gave birth to the European Economic Community (EEC) and to the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom).
The signature of these two treaties, which are known today as the 'Rome Treaties', took place only a few years after the French foreign minister Robert Schuman made his famous Declaration. On 9 May 1950, he shared his dream to establish long-lasting peace in Europe and declared that 'the pooling of coal and steel production... will change the destinies of those regions which have long been devoted to the manufacture of munitions of war, of which they have been the most constant victims'. He also warned that Europe would 'not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity.'
EU achievements over the past sixty years
The European Political Strategy Centre has published a brochure which highlights the EU's key achievements over the past sixty years. The brochure reminds us that 'the European story is one of peace, democracy, solidarity and freedom, but also of prosperity, equality, well-being and sustainability'.
Shaping Europe's future
On 1 March 2017, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, presented the 'White Paper on the Future of Europe' at a plenary session of the European Parliament. It maps out the challenges lying ahead for the EU, for the security and well-being of its citizens, and for the role the EU will play in the next decade on the global scale.
The White Paper outlines five scenarios with regard to the potential evolution of the EU by 2025: 1) Carrying on, 2) Nothing but the single market, 3) Those who want more do more, 4) Doing less more efficiently and 5) Doing much more together.
Celebrations of the 60 Anniversary of the Treaties of Rome
- The main event organised by the European Commission is the Citizens' Dialogue with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, on 24 March in Rome. The Dialogue will focus on the options for the future of the EU (the debate around the Commission's White Paper) and the difference that the EU should make for future generations.
- Further events in all EU Member States are organised by the European Commission Representations in the Member States. A list of these events is available on the interinstitutional webpage dedicated to the 60th Anniversary (section 'Find events in your country').
- Events are organised also by other EU institutions. A list of these events is available on the interinstitutional webpage dedicated to the 60th Anniversary ('Find activities from EU institutions').
- The Italian Government is hosting and organising different events to promote the 60th anniversary.
A list of such events is available on the website of the Italian Department for European Politics.
- The European Commission's DG Communication has prepared several audio-visual products to mark the anniversary which are available on the following page: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/eu60/home/index.cfm?sitelang=en

Our friend was nearly in tears. Her beloved Marc Jacobs shirt, which she'd worn to death for five years, had messily ripped three inches in the shoulder. She took it to Nelson Tailor Shop, hoping that it could somehow be patched up. The very next day, she was able to pick it up and was astonished to find that her shirt looked as good as new. Not just great for the quick fix—like hemming those skinny jeans or replacing busted zippers—this beloved Lower East Side shop can be trusted to do a wonderful job on difficult alterations of precious pieces, from formal gowns to business suits. Recently, we took our long winter coat in for a new lining and new pockets, and, for $90, it came back with a thicker, warmer lining sure to keep it alive for many more years. And, in our current economy, fixing clothes, instead of throwing them away, is what it's all about.

By Dr. Zipporah Kpamor
It isn't easy being a woman–or a girl–in Nigeria.
I grew up in a little village in the North where the tradition was very patriarchal. But my family was quite revolutionary. My father, right from the beginning, supported all of his children to go to school. When he got ill, he told my mother: 'You must promise me this: If I'm not around, and you are forced to choose between who to send to school, always choose the girl. The boy will inherit the land; he will always have a livelihood. The girl, she is not allowed to inherit anything; the girl child needs an education to find a livelihood for herself. '
It's the opposite of what everyone thought! This is how I learned to lead.
The Girl Child in Nigeria
For many girls and adolescents in my country, poverty, patriarchal traditions, or threats of terror limit their access to health information and care, as well as to support systems, education, and economic security. I've shared previously some of the horrors the girls and families in northeast Nigeria face from Boko Haram: Boko Haram stole our girls, raided our villages, and killed and drove our health care workers away. Whenever there is civil disturbance, it is the women and children who suffer the most. They are the most vulnerable. As a result, women and children cannot access essential care, and Nigeria suffers some of the worst maternal and child health indicators in the world.
In the last year, however, the Nigerian government has made amazing strides at returning order and calm. The rates at which the bombs are going off, and the raids in villages, have decreased and quieted down. There are still some suicide attacks–where a girl is forced to wear a bomb and detonate it in a public market. And we still haven't found the 200 Chibok girls. But, in the northeast, some schools and health care facilities have reopened, allowing children to return and health personnel to provide care. Displaced people are slowly coming back.
Adolescent Girls as Health Change Agents in the Amdo Health Club
MSH worked with local partners to lead a pilot intervention with 30 adolescent girls, ages 13 to 19, at Government Day Secondary School, Tal in Billiri, Gombe State–one of the terrorized states in northeast Nigeria—for six months from 2014 to 2015. This program, known as the Amdo Health Club had a far reaching impact on the girls. "Amdo" means love in the local dialect. For many, the Amdo Health Club not only changed their lives but also the lives of their sisters, friends, households, and communities.
At first, many of the girls were quite ignorant about their sexual and reproductive health. For example, many girls didn't know about menstruation or that you can become pregnant during the first time of sexual intercourse. We not only gave them information, we built a support system where the girls could receive services.
We trained their teachers and collaborated with the Parents Teachers' Association and school principal—so the girls would not have to go far and to increase trust with parents and the community. We arranged places the girls could get support, including through community based organizations, such as Community Oriented Health Providers Association, a collaborating civil society organization, and local government agencies.
Health workers in the facilities were also pulled in to provide guidance so that the girls were able to make informed decisions without feeling guilty. Sometimes, religious leaders and teachers acted as advocates regarding religion and how it affects sexual and reproductive health, helping demystify misunderstandings, myths, and rumors in such a way that there is no contradiction or conflict, and making it easier for girls and families to accept and adapt.

A new theme.
Whilst writing "The first post (Part 2)…" this morning, I tried a few different themes for the Tumblr blog, eventually settling on this, from Bill Israel. I love the elegance and simplicity of his designs and colour schemes. Looking through some of the themes for Wordpress, I've not found anything that I like yet. Maybe I'll have to open up Photoshop and create some custom graphics, then brush up on my HTML. Maybe, just maybe, my Tumblr blog will continue.
The first post (Part 2)...
After only three posts - two of which were only photographs, I am seriously looking at migrating the Disjointed Reality blog to Wordpress.
Tumblr is fine, for what it is, but I feel that my needs in the longer term may be best served by Wordpress. I have, therefore, set up an account, and will play with the design and creation tools prior to transferring my content there.
I will keep the Tumblr blog as a place to quickly post scraps of things that interest me, so please keep the URL, and check in regularly to see my updates.
I'll post a link to the new Wordpress blog within the next few days.
The first post
After some time, following a range of blogs, podcasts, Twitter and RSS feeds - contributing to forums, chatting to people all over the world in a variety of ways, the time has come to create a visible online presence.
The first move was to set up a free account with Google Apps; a service which allows the hosting of a web domain, and provides basic web page creation tools. Some of the other features within Google Apps, such as docs and calendar, I will probably not use so much, as they are duplicated in my virtual life by other applications. I'm pleased with the domain I have managed to acquire - indeed I was quite surprised that it was available. At the very least, Google Apps gives me a safe place to park the domain whilst I decide what format it will eventually take. For the time being, I will keep the domain name private, until there is sufficient content to make it worthwhile to go "live".
I heard of Tumblr a few years ago on the Net@Nite podcast, hosted by Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur. Of course there are more well known blogging tools available, and maybe I will experiment with a selection of them over time and post my findings. For now, however, Tumblr meets my needs as it is incredibly simple and also has an iPhone app for on-the-go posts.
So, this is the first post. Hopefully there will be many more to come, as I find my way in this disjointed reality. I hope you, the reader will come back and read more of what I find to say.
Thank you for taking the time to make this first visit.

Ei Jibon Nohoi Xuna Bondhu
"Ei Jibon Nohoi Xuna Bondhu" is a new Assamese album with a different touch, reflecting many faces of the society.
Front cover of the album
The new assamese music album 'Ei Jibon Nohoi Xuna Bondhu' was released by veteran singer, Sudakshina Sarma, in Guwahati on 5th February 2010. The music album has songs by nationally-reputed singers such as Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurti, Pulak Banerjee, Debojit Saha and child prodigy Antara Nandy. Popular actor, Pranjal Saikia, is also a part of the album as a narrator. The songs are written by Dr. Amal Saikia with music by Pratul Bora and Gupta Borthakur. Each song is theme-based and they highlight several issues which are relevant in modern-day India. 'Ei Jibon Nohoi Xuna Bondhu' has been produced by Bhargav Saikia and Dr. Amal Saikia.
Background of the album:
The find the root of the album, we need to go back to 1985, when Dr. Amal Saikia was inspired by many factors of the society during his medical internship. All his experiences and inspirations took the shape of poetry and were first sung as songs from Dibrugarh All india radio center in 1985 radio artists Mamata Borthakur and Rumi Goswami. Later in 1987, few more songs of Dr Saikia were brocasted from Biswanath Chariali radio center. Due to Dr Saikia's professional commitments, the lyrics were almost forgotten over the years but they finally got life back again with some efforts from artists Tarun Saikia from Bisswanath Chariali and few more enthusiasts.

I bought this for my 11 pound miniature pinscher for the upcoming Halloween season. I bought her a size medium and it fits great! So excited for her to wear this cute harness all month long! Great purchase and I recommend this to anyone!
The one thing that made me make my purchase at BaxterBoo was the return policy. When ordering online, you can't always be 100% sure if what you're getting or if it will fit your needs, so having such an awesome return policy is what swayed me. The extra 25% off coupon I got to use on the site wasn't too bad either. ;)

- Homer Simpson is going to be a guest on Tonight Show tomorrow. I wonder if they animated him into the chair or if he is going to appear on the television "via satellite". Either way, it should be entertaining. Of course, who out there thinks that he should have also appeared on Conan O'Brien?
- I've noticed that in a lot of the reports about Lindsay Lohan being charged with DUI, they are using terms like "reformed wild child" to describe her. Now, is it just me, or do those adjectives seem a little premature at the moment. I don't know... it just seems a tad bit optimistic to call her "reformed". I mean, if she was clean and sober for a year and, I don't know, the charge that was being written about had nothing to do with her being shit-faced, well, perhaps you could call her reformed, but now is not the time.
- Wow... American celebrities attend a soccer game. What a news item. Seriously, if Pele couldn't make soccer fly in the States in the 1970's, when, let's face it, there was far less competition in televised athletics because Football and Basketball hadn't reached the popularity they now enjoy, I really doubt that somehow David Beckham is going revolutionize the game in the States. And it is funny that the same day this celebrity-filled gala event took place, the under 20 FIFA tournament was coming to a conclusion as well. Which was more important in terms of that sport I wonder.

You are here: Home » Services » Decking » Decking Bishopbriggs
S&D provide a full garden decking supply and building service to customers in Bishopbriggs.
Decking is delightfully functional, as well as a beautiful addition to any garden but, their beauty also lays in the fact that they can be accessorised in so many different ways to add more interest and more colour.
Here, are just 4 ways of creating character and accessorising the decking at your Bishopbriggs home…
Lighting adds even more functionality to a decking, as well as interest from a soft ambient glow. It also means that the decking at a Bishopbriggs home can be used as the light fades too. Lighting can be added to any steps, as well as hidden under the hand rail, common to most decking design.
Many people also opt to have small lights inserted in to the decking floor; these lights can also be different colour and are great for not only defining the edge of the area but also for adding a soft glow that makes sitting and using the decking at night time a real treat!
Many people purchase free standing outdoor furniture that can be moved from place to place on the decking, a perfect solution for when you have friends now or you decide to eat al fresco as a family.
But there are other options too, of which many customers are taking advantage. For example, why not have a seating are built in, part of the overall decking design? Some people add benching as part of the design, as well as small table or stools across the decking area too.
Decked areas can look vast and bland; if you do not features built in, it can pay to make the decking platform look too 'flat'; adding sections, with the use of greenery is a great way of adding character.
You can use climbing plants, sweetly scented that allow the evening air to be filled with their perfume and, you can add coloured plant pots, full of colourful spring and summer flowers to add the much needed colour you were after. But don't forget that looking out on to a decking in winter at your Bishopbriggs property need not mean it must look forlorn; don't forget to add ever green shrubs either at the edges or in the plant pots for all year round colour.
Have you considered adding a chimnea for warmth during the cooler evenings? Or maybe some speakers hanging off the railings for music during your social gathering?
There are so many ways to accessorise the decking at your Bishopbriggs home – these are just four ideas. Would you like to know more? Call us.

Mongolian Spectre, Part IVIt was a colossal effort for Wilson, who was weakened severely in both body and mind since the prime of his career, but as the sun descended slowly from its zenith he removed the boulders from around the central pit, watching as one side of its burlap cover collapsed under the mass of sand it had accumulated over the last three years. The hum, which continued its dreary chant undisturbed by the commotion, seemed to have emanated from within. Wilson examined the shaft: about six meters in diameter, it reached down into a naturally-formed cave within the upper Cretaceous stratum - a fact that saved the team a great deal of work. At the floor of the cavern, about fourteen meters beneath his feet, stood a large cargo lift connected to one side of the shaft by a powerful rail; this, he knew, was what they used to hoist the massive Tarbosaurus out of the earth- though he cared little for this testimony of the crew's resourcefulness and the enormous risks they took before meeting their
Mongolian Spectre, Part IIIFor three weeks, Wilson traversed the desert searching for the dig site; first by vehicle, accompanied by a local tour guide. Then, when the money ran out, by foot. This journey was an uneasy one; it took him several days and half the water supply to realize that it was safer to bury himself head-deep in sand during the day and travel only at night. Night, however, was when less-than-pleasant creatures of the desert came out.
It was not until his last canteen was already long gone that the few still standing tents of the camp site were seen in the horizon, barely discernible from the surrounding dunes in the faint light of dawn; but by the time the weary, malnourished, middle-aged man reached the site, it was already past noon.
The camp consisted of a large central dig spot, covered by a massive sheet of burlap that was fastened to the ground with heavy rocks for protection from the elements- desert winds and rain were notoriously harmful to fossils. That spot was surrounded by several
Mongolian Spectre, Part IIWhen Wilson approached the abandoned encampment, knee-deep in sand, his clothes stiff from dried sweat, it was the first time in years he had felt anything remotely similar to a sense of relief. Happiness or content, on the other hand, were things whose likeness he had forgotten long before.
Once an esteemed professor of paleontology at the University of Chelonia, Wilson was at the utmost top of his field; for nearly two decades, his name was stamped on every major discovery, book or academic paper relating to the anatomy of dinosaurs. During these defining years, it was his research that almost single-handedly debunked the consensus, formed in the late nineteenth century, of the dinosaur as a sluggish, dim-witted, elephantine lizard stuck in swamps- replacing it with a new image of a dynamic, diverse and successful lineage that eventually gave rise to the avian. He clambered up to the rank of chair of his department, won numerous awards and had his work inspire countless depictions of
Mongolian Spectre, Part IHe woke up. The stench of sulfur and the pain of his cramping muscles struck him at once as he returned into reality. Weary, he looked around. The cave that was his home now provided shelter to three other males of his kind. He wasn't fond of this- there was little room for him alone, let alone all of them- but for now, he was just glad they didn't kick him out. His eyes passed over the cavern's gaping maw, watching over the wasteland outside, and on to an inner chamber. The food reserves, which he was wise enough to store there after making a large kill, were now depleted by his ravenous guests.
How did it come to this?
Once, he dimly remembered, there was life. Then the Great Shadow came. It crept over the skies like a massive sandstorm, snuffing out the sun and the moon, leaving the earth at a perpetual state of twilight. Under its reign the sky rained fire. Entire forests withered and died. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions became commonplace. Precious water turned to poison. Prey

This article applies to Payroll by Wave in Canada.
We're bringing the direct deposit process in-house to give you more control and deeper insights into the payroll process. Read on for what's changed.
Does this affect how I pay my employees or payment timelines?
Nope! Just continue to run payroll as normal. Payment timelines will also remain the same. The only thing that's changed is the underlying plumbing that moves the money from your account to your employees' accounts.
If you do want to change your funding bank account (where the payroll withdrawal comes from), you can do so now or at any time, with one exception: the days payroll withdrawal is scheduled. On these days, your funding account information is locked to ensure payroll is processed correctly.
Will everything still work?
We've been working on this feature for quite some time – and in fact, it's the system new Payroll by Wave customers have been working with for several months! It's worked wonderfully, so we're excited to be rolling it out to all our US Payroll by Wave customers.
So what else has changed?
Bringing direct deposit in-house to Wave means that you have greater visibility of where you are in the payroll process. You can now view the status of each payroll and see when the funds are withdrawn from your account, or if the payroll is refunded or cancelled.
You'll also be able to see the payment status for each employee's direct deposit, so you'll be in the loop if there are any issues.
If a deposit fails, you'll be guided through how to resolve the issue, and you now have the option to resubmit transactions.
If there are any errors during the payment process, you'll see an alert next to the payment, along with a detailed explanation of what went wrong and steps to resolve it.
Is my information secure?
Your information is protected by our security policy. Wave is not collecting or storing any more information than we did before.
How long will the update take?
The update will only take a moment. Make sure you come back to the Payroll hub afterwards to update your account – we promise it won't take long!

How Future's net worth was built
Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, better known on stage as "Future," has amassed a net worth of $8 million, thanks to his flourishing career as a hit rapper.
Future's cousin Rico Wade, a notable member of the Dungeon Family (a hip-hop collective), acted as both a career and personal mentor, encouraging Future to begin a career in rap.
He dropped his first mix tapes in 2010 and recorded with rapper Gucci Mane. This exposure quickly advanced Future's career. In the fall of 2011, he signed with Epic Records. In April of 2012, "Pluto," Future's first studio album, was released. The album proved to be a commercial success with four notable singles.
Strategic career moves have allowed Future to build on this success. He regularly collaborates with other artists, such as Drake. Cross collaborations with pop artists have helped Future reach a larger audience.
You can use this net worth calculator to see your net worth.
What he's up to now
Future continues to advance his career with the release of new music. In November 2016, Future hit a career milestone thanks to the excellent performance of his hit "Used to This." This single premiered on the Billboard Hot 100 at No.14, making it the highest debut in Future's career.
Overall, 2016 has been a strong year for Future's profession, as he released multiple hits, including "Wicked" and "Low Life." Future regularly collaborates with other rappers on the Hot 100 list, including Drake, 21 Savage and DJ Esco.
Future has racked up a variety of award nominations and a few wins during his relatively short career.
In 2015, Future took home the BET Hip Hop Award for Best Mix Tape. He won the 2016 BET Award for Best Group along with Drake for their hit "What a Time to Be Alive."
This is just one of the many nominations he received in 2016. Future also was nominated for the American Music Award for Favorite Rap Artist, a BET Award for Best Male Hip Hop Artist, a Billboard Music Award for Top Rap Artist, and a Coca-Cola Viewer's Choice Award for Best Male Hip Hop Artist.

It's easy to sit around and analyze your "career". Things you wished were happening, the recognition you seek. Conquering the whole music structure. It's an inverted world, this music thing. There are a lot of non-realities that we base our aspirations on, and that paper-thin layer becomes tougher and tougher to balance your goals on.
So why am I bothering with this? Well, I just spent a week inside the ruby red walls of the Velvet Elk Studio, working with a young band of 17-year olds. These were not only good kids, but genuinely talented in a way that I just don't think I was at that age. Just took me a bit longer to reach my stride. But the energy they infused into the Velvet Elk was infectious. My friend Chris Keup and I, while feeling all of our "aging rocker" years around these guys, also felt confident in our place and our history with music. These kids respected that and it was a communal experience. The result was a recording that sizzles with all the raw energy that only these still-to-young-to-drink folk can do. The music reeks of piss and vinegar, and I'd be shocked (ok, maybe not shocked, as this IS the music biz after all) if I won't be paying to see them on some arena tour soon.
That all being said, they are also 17. And extremely antsy for immediate success. Hell, I'm in my 30's and STILL saying to myself that "this will be the year!" My friend Allen and I make it an unacknowledged tradition to call each other up in the first week of the year and let it be known to each other that "this will be the year we make it!" It's sort of that thing where we laugh at ourselves but silently pray that it will actually be the reality. Of course, I fully expect to count down the days until we utter the rallying cry to each other again the following year.
And why is that? Because the success IS happening. It's just at a gradual and rolling pace. One that I realize is exactly what works for someone like me. I seem to magnetically shy away success or "selling myself", yet here I am with my Velvet Elk Studios in the woods. A dream I've had most of my life. It exists. And it didn't pop up in one evening. It grew over 20 years. Just....arrived. I simply found myself surrounded by it. And when one of these guys notes that, "Dude! You're livin the dream!", well-it's hard to think otherwise. I am living the dream. I'm playing and recording music for a living. And where it would be incredible for hundreds of people to show up at my gigs, or buy tons of my records. And whereas I still strive for that. I try and do it with the knowledge that it's all icing on the cake. You don't know that at 17. But it's the truth.
So with all the talk this week of "big record deals", tours, girls, and the "f@*k yous!" that would accompany said record deal, we managed to have a blast. A truly communal music experience with no attitude or pre-conceived notions. Chris and I don't know any better than these kids about whats cool or sounds cool or is a hit or should be a hit or how to make it sound like a hit. We all only knew that what we were creating made us smile. And in that, we were all the same age. Wide-eyed and naive.
So I pulled out my tried and true infamous Mom quote from my teenage years. You see, there really wasn't a time I can remember in my life where I didn't know I would do music. As the cover of my new album attests, I was "working on the band" from the get go! And by 15 I was already beginning to state that "this will be the year I make it big!" I remember, at 19 years young, distinctly comiserating with my best friend and bandmate at the time that "if we don't make it before we are twenty, it's over!" I love that. I love that I had a point of view in my life where my focus was so singular so as to make me believe my life was "over" if I wasn't the new Bono by age 20. I can see that in these guys a little as well. Oh yeah, so back to my mom...
I would share with her in my early anxieties of making it big. It was always the same conversation, and she would entertain that conversation every time without hesitation. She was always, and still is, so unconditionally supportive. But one of these times, as she's listening to my "struggles", she says that I should always remember that "it's the journey, and not the destination, that is most important.
Ok, a little new-agey, but damn if I don't remind myself of that all the time. And it felt right to bring it up to these guys. And with the studio full of activty these past few weeks, and all the music being created, and all the fancy and vintage lights blinking their approval (or occassional disapproval!), and all the speakers crackling to hold their own against our sonic demands, I was reminded that I had indeed "made it." And I'm still making it. I know that Allen and I will restate our tradition next January. I suppose it's ingrained in the code of our long term friendship. But I'm starting to believe there is a confidence and unacknowledged gratification between us that the making it part is happening. And our annual rite of passage serves to remind each other of that. Life moves too fast to not revel in the tiny successes and victories, because the destinatiion is forever changing, but the journey remains in place.
Or something like that.
Thanks Mom.

A backdated post but pardon me. I just had to
pen down type down (or record down?) the whole of Christmas 2012!
Christmas Eve
Woke up early morning to bake fruit tarts for the next day's party, rushed to tuition, and then to town to meet Joops! Our longgggg awaited meet-up.
I gave her treated her to lunch at Itacho Sushi! One of my favourite quick meal sushi place.
I queued for about 40mins!
After lunch, we rushed to Far East for express manicure at some random shop!
Quite glad with my nails. Matches my skirt for that day!
We headed to church and was late. Hung out for a while after service, I went out for dinner, rushed home to take the fruit tarts and then to N's church for midnight mass.
Christmas Day
I went out with N's parents early morning to collect turkey and ham from Intercontinental Hotel and Mandarin Orchard respectively.
Both of them taste really good! 一分钱一分货!
The turkey was a Char Siew turkey and it tastes good with the sauce. The meat was not "siap" as well.
The boneless ham from mandarin orchard was the bomb. So tender and flavourful. It costs a bomb also lah.
Some fruit cake that one of his aunties gave.
Four Seasons' Chocolate Cherry Yule Log Cake
This cake is damn good. The chocolate very gao, and the brandied cherries are really brandied cherries and not those bright red-coloured ones. Even though it's damn good, I don't think it's worth the price. $61 for this tiny cake is quite ridiculous.
I rushed home to prepare for the night as my friends are coming over for a gathering.
We spent the night doing pretty much nothing. Just nonsense.. Playing around with my cosmetics, watching videos, gossiping etc. HAHAH
Looking at all the buzz during the Christmas period, N and I barely have anytime to ourselves.
So, we have our own Christmas on another day. I know that defeats the purpose of Christmas, but the song says 12 days of Christmas leh.
We woke up really late that morning and I was summoned for facial with N's mum.
For that few hours, he prepared our Christmas meal (:
Spicy linguine with prawns, Lobster thermidor
The pasta was al dente, prawns were fresh (He said it was still alive before he started cooking)
I have to say that the Lobster Thermidor blew me off totally. It is not easy to cook at all, and alot of steps involved! Not forgetting killing the lobster.
I bought Royce chocolates. I usually buy the Nama Chocolate, Champagne and it was my first time trying these. They did not disappoint at all! I'm not sure if the chips are ruffles, but they really tasted like ruffles coated with white chocolate. The rum&raisin chocolate bar... YUMS :D

JAMMU: Despite the government claims of promoting Jammu as a preferred tourist destination, successive regimes have failed to even provide air connectivity to the winter capital. Decades on, the only airport here awaits long-pending expansion and the government on Monday decided to make available the night landing facility at the Srinagar airport while didn't utter a word for such a facility for the airport in Jammu.
On Monday, Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti in a high-level meeting held on Monday said that the Srinagar airport would soon be having night landing facility for which all preparations are being done by concerned agencies. The meeting was informed that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has granted necessary permission for operating night flights and the necessary infrastructural up gradation in this regard is being done by the Airport Authority of India and other State agencies.
The Chief Minister directed completion of all these upgradations within a month's time so that the facility is thrown open in view of the tourist season in the Kashmir Valley. She directed immediate release of Rs 3.86 crore for meeting the expenses of raising ancillary infrastructural facilities for night hours at the Airport for the convenience of travellers and the staff. Shri Ram Sena State President Rajiv Mahajan said that Jammu Airpot's short and rough runway pose serious threat to lives of passengers.
He also said that "Extremely hazardous plight of Jammu Airport who's short and rough runway is not only a nightmare for pilots but poses serious threat to lives and safety of passengers and the government had not only neglected long pending extension of the existing runway at the Jammu Airport from 6700 feet to 8000 feet as repeated warned by Aviation experts but also displayed criminal negligence in ensuring proper maintenance of the Airport thus putting the very lives of passengers to jeopardy".
Making out a strong case for up gradation of Jammu Airport on the analogy of Srinagar Airport, Rajiv Mahajan said that 1.20 crore pilgrims visit Mata Vaishino Devi Shrine every year besides huge rush of other pilgrims and tourists which could further escalate if air traffic facilities are improved. He further said while the Modi led govt. was talking of developing modern and smart cities, Jammu was being deprived of even the basic facilities desperately needed for safety and security of the people.

In Memory
Sean Pettibone
plays a key role in how you attack each level, with different strategies
presenting themselves for each fighter you use. Some of the fighters are
faster but have less firepower, while others have concentrated fire that
isn't as effective in the regular portions but very powerful against end
bosses. Using these different approaches allows the player to fight
through the game's stages in their own unique style. This approach gives
Raiden Fighter Aces more flexibility and gives this release a broader
appeal amongst shooter fans. The level designs are fairly straightforward
and you attack various enemies, collect power-ups and medals while
learning when to use the super attack bombs. The twist in Raiden Fighters
is the fact that you are given two drone fighters that accompany games'
replay value since you can go back and try to beat your high score with
different ships. Raiden Fighters Aces' single-player mode is quite good,
and this is only enhanced by its multiplayer mode, where your ship,
increasing your fire-power and making for some truly massive attacks. You
can set up their attack patterns and configurations, which adds to the
strategy. In the first game, there are only a couple of these available,
but as you go on to its sequels, the roster of available ships swells to a
dozen. Not only does this give players flexibility in terms of strategies,
it also increases the another player can join and play co-operatively with
you. It's not the most innovative feature in the world, but it's a
definite plus. In addition, you can sign in to Xbox Live and post your
high scores onto a leaderboard and see how you compare with players from
around the world.
little extras help to make this a more appealing package, some of these
might seem incidental, but they'll appeal to hardcore gamers. You can set
the game up to display in several modes. Raiden Fighters' standard
presentation is decent, though the letterboxed play is somewhat small,
even on a large monitor. You can adjust the screen size manually for a
slightly larger viewpoint, which improves things slightly. In addition,
the game offers a cool Tate mode where the action can be viewed sideways
and helpfully allows you to adjust the controller to this perspective as
well. Additionally, you can set visual filters to reduce the blurriness of
the aliasing, for a more authentic look, add over-sampling of sprites for
a more traditional pixellated look and even change the frame rate to best
suit your monitor. Playing the game with its maximized screen area and
graphics makes all the difference, and makes what could have been standard
ports stand out from the pack. Controlling the game is fairly easy and the
standard Xbox pad does a decent job, though things seem to flow smoother
using the analog stick for some reason. Response time is excellent using
either, and while an arcade stick would probably be ideal, its not
necessary to enjoy the game. RFA's visuals can definitely be categorized
as old-school, but the simple approach to its 2D gameplay and classically
straightforward visuals mean it doesn't look dated. It moves at a fast
pace and there are some impressive moments when the screen fills with
bullets and fire that should bring a smile to anyone who grew up on these
types of games. Musically, the games' soundtrack consists of aggressive
techno. It fits the action nicely and helps to keep you motivated during
battles. Despite this, Raiden Fighters Aces should give players excellent
sense of arcade history and its presentation and options menus are
above-average. The games themselves are solidly entertaining and deliver
the classic shooter thrills that older players loved about the series. The
tweaks and adjustments are great additions and should please those who've
never played these titles in the arcades. Given its value price,
above-average emulation featuring an extensive list of options and, most
importantly, its solidly constructed gameplay, Raiden Fighters Aces is an
outstanding game that should please fans of classic shooters.

Day One of NCAA Women's Swim Championships Complete
The first day of competition of the NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships is complete and the seven Big West athletes at the meet came through with solid performances on the national stage.
UC Davis junior Heidi Kucera became the first Aggie to compete at the NCAA Championships with her participation in the 200 IM. Kucera went 2:01.12 in the event to finish 54th overall, her second-fastest in the event this season. Kucera went 1:58.36 at the Big West Conference Championships to win the event in B-cut fashion.
UC Santa Barbara junior Anne Marie May placed 15th in the 50 freestyle on Thursday evening, earning honorable mention All-American honors thanks to the top 16 finish. It marks the fourth All-American honor of her career. During the preliminary heats, May was unable to make the event's finals, finishing tenth during the morning swim with a time of 22.13. In the consolation final, May clocked in at 22.37 seconds, finishing 15th overall. Arizona's Lara Jackson won the event in 21.40, a new NCAA meet record.
The UCSB 400 medley relay team finished 19th overall during the morning's prelims and missed making the evening's final in the event. The team, which consisted of Naomi Javanifard, Sara Nicponski, Erin Yamamoto and May, finished in 3:38.74.
Pacific senior Jenny Lewis finished 51st in the 50 free with a time of 22.81. Lewis, who qualified with a seed of 22.46, could not match her school-best time in the event and finished with a 22.81 time. That was only .01 of a second shy of tying for 49th place, as Megan Pulskamp and Rachel Goh from Kentucky and Auburn, respectively, turned in a 22.80 finish.

I began having some issues with the Carlson command "boundpl" and I am hoping someone has experienced this and has a solution. I have a specific drawing file that when I use the "boundpl" command the created polyline layer defaults to "CLAYER" no matter if I type a specific layer name or choose to use the current layer. I have been unable to solve this issue. This issue is only occurring in a specific drawing file and the command works fine in other drawing files.

Mary Flowers on the World Wide Web
By Ann Zlotnik
The early nineties introduced many to the World Wide Web including John S. Stokes Jr. He had compiled pages and pages of research on Mary gardens. He had plant lists, news articles, correspondence, photographs and so much more. He wanted to share this information and grow his Mary's Gardens Movement. Stokes, a retired engineer, social justice advocate and passionate Mary gardener, created a website that he titled "Mary's Flowers and Gardens."
Stokes donated his extensive website to the Marian Library, it was transferred in 2010 and housed as a subsection of the Mary Page. When the decision was made to refresh the Mary Page and transform it into the encyclopedic tool now known as All About Mary, Stokes' web content was to be included. In 2016, Stokes' content was categorized and placed within the All About Mary structure, but maintains an identity of its own. The content on these pages has not been changed or updated and remains original to Stokes' website.
Spring is here and with it comes gardening. If you are looking for Mary flowers that will grow well in Arizona, flowers of Mary's sorrows, instructions on how to plant an indoor Mary dish garden, and so on, simply visit go.udayton.edu/allaboutmary and learn from the master Mary gardener, John Stokes.
