This little girl is perfect! From her dark hair to her little pouty lips, she is an answer to (many) prayers and couldn't be any more loved by her sweet parents. She is SO perfect, in fact, that my camera lens up and said "That is it! I can now retire. I have lived my life!" and jumped off my camera. Right in the middle of the session. THANKFULLY, my good friend Lindsay Harrell lives SUPER close and let me borrow her rockin' camera, and thankfully our friends were super patient and cool about the whole thing.
Rohrs…I know I have kept you waiting in suspense 🙂 Here is a sneak peak at all of the gorgeousness that is your daughter!

Seriously…I get all giddy when I get to use girly headbands and crocheted hats, but there really is nothing better than a sweet baby curled up on a blanket! My heart just kept melting going through these…
I love the look on their faces! Can you tell they kinda like her?
Hope everyone is having a good week! Many more sneak peaks to come!

Me: "No, I'm just tired."
That's how my first conversation of the morning began.
As I'm sure you could have guessed, this weekend was spent moving and putting together Ikea furniture.
|Misty and Theresa unimpressed at how difficult Ikea makes things
|"We can put this bench together, Misty! I believe in us!"
Success! I did it!
I then moved onto the bookshelves, which I thought I had put together successfully. Until Andrew came over and pointed out that I put one of the shelves together backwards. Opps.
We spent the rest of the night working together, to complete our living room. I'm happy to say that the living room has officially been put together!
|Our new living room!
Complete with a sofa bed!
Sunday was spent sleeping in. We then started moving some of our things, such as clothes, washroom stuff (shampoo, my endless amount of makeup and hair products, etc) and our mattress in from the old place to the new one.
Of course, it started raining, we were tired, and Andrew had things to do to prepare for his shift in the morning, so we didn't get to move everything in. We still have lots to do and I'm exhausted thinking about it.
For some reason, my thighs are killing me too and I'm walking like I need a cane.
I already know that it'll all be worth it when the move is complete though. I just can't wait until it is!

The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation's top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including "fetus" and "transgender" — in official documents being prepared for next year's budget.
The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation's top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including "fetus" and "transgender" — in official documents being prepared for next year's budget.
First, I get an email from The Nation with the subject line "you DID NOT sign to impeach Donald Trump (WHY NOT?)."
From this alone we can conclude that The Nation must have sent out a mass email survey of some sort recently – one among many similar missives I receive daily from various organs of the Democratic party. Apparently readers were asked to "sign to impeach Donald Trump." Because that's how impeachment works: a particular number of readers of a pretentious neoliberal magazine must click "YES" to an email poll.
However, when I tragically failed to timely respond to this embarrassing bid for attention in the guise of an impeachment vehicle, The Nation suddenly got all shouty at me and demanded to know WHY NOT.
Explain yourself, woman!! Do you even read our magazine?! Do you secretly looooove Donald Trump?! How could you???
Because FUCK YOU, The Nation. How's that?
Moving on.
This morning I get an email from my illustrious Senator Chuck Schumer (D-Wall $treet), presently serving tirelessly as the de facto head of the Democratic party. His subject line is "Yesterday? That was just the start."
As you might expect, Chuckie is trumpeting Doug Jones beating Roy Moore for the Senate seat abandoned by Jeff Sessions, after Mr. Sessions decided that he could do a lot more damage to peoples' lives as Trump's Attorney General than he ever could as Senator from Alabama.
So of course Chuck lays on the usual banal accolades and then he says this:
Now, look, you are welcome to celebrate for a moment. You've earned it. This win is thanks to Doug Jones, his incredible team, and you — your calls, your donations, your Facebook posts, your emails to friends. Thank you.
But that moment to celebrate is over. Now it's time to get back to work.
You had your fun missy, but all that's over!
Can we just pause for a minute to appreciate how generous it is of Chuckie to allow everyone a brief moment to celebrate a hard-won victory in Alabama?
BZZZT! Show's over! NOW GET THE FUCK BACK TO WORK!
I am sure you are now wondering how we might toil to best please the honorable Senator? Funny you should ask! Why, it turns out Chuckie wants all of us to give a single dollar to each of the eight most conservative Democratic incumbents running for reelection in the US Senate:
If you're fired up, the single most important thing you can do to help us seize this moment is to let Democrats across the country know that you have their back.
Baldwin, Brown, Donnelly, Heitkamp, Manchin, McCaskill, Nelson, Tester — those eight Senators are on the frontlines of the fight for the middle class. They're in the fight of their lives. And they need your support — celebrate last night by splitting $8 between them!
Uh no, sorry Chuck. That is not how I celebrate election victories. I'd prefer to spend my eight bucks – more, even – on a lefty primary challenger for your Senate seat.
Any takers?
All you misogynist motherfuckers can now live out your shitty convictions with your very own bodies!
[D]octors at Baylor University say a woman born without a uterus has delivered a baby after a successful transplant, the first time the surgery has worked outside of the Swedish hospital that pioneered the procedure.
That's right: no uterus? No problem! Anti-choice d00ds, now you can save the preshuss baybeez in your own implanted uterus!
OMG YOU GUYS GUESS WHAT?? The Texas shooter had a history of domestic violence and investigators say his killing rampage was linked to a "domestic situation":
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Tex. — Investigators said Sunday's church massacre in Texas occurred amid an ongoing "domestic situation" involving the gunman and his relatives, at least one of whom had attended the church.
Kelley, 26, was court-martialed in 2012 and sentenced to a year in military prison for assaulting his spouse and child, making him the latest mass attacker or suspect with domestic violence in his past. He was reduced in rank and released with a bad-conduct discharge in 2014.
This has never happened before! It's just a shame that virtually every mass shooter in recent times doesn't fit a profile like, say, "violent entitled men who abuse women and children" or something. Then it might be easier to do something to address it? We could maybe ensure such exemplars of American masculinity never have access to guns? Too bad, so sad that they're each a Lone Wolf living in a cultural vacuum without any common behavior in their backgrounds to trigger an intervention.
Well. At least we have an endless supply of thoughts-n-prayers to offer the victims and their families.
This NRA stands for National Restaurant Association, which sounds fairly innocuous, at least compared to the gun fetishist lobby we've all come to know and despise.
[CONTENT NOTE: white supremacy.]
No, of course it won't accomplish much of anything. Does anyone really believe the good ol' boys of the Alabama Bar see any problems whatsoever with a white supremacist lying liar who lies as attorney general? Hahaha no I think not. But if this petition gathers just enough signatures to make a little noise, it will piss off the rabid racist asshole currently in charge of the U.S. Department of Injustice! FUN!
Conservatives, and particularly conservative men, are notoriously thin-skinned. If the numbers are big enough, maybe it'll even yield some hot conservative tears – and, well. You all know how much I looooove those! Let's doooo eeeet!
[via Color of Change]
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is Too Racist to Be a Lawyer #DisbarSessions
Jeff Sessions is a liar, a racist, and a white supremacist. Last week, Sessions testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and one thing is clear — enough is enough. Sessions' entire political career has been to undo major progress hard fought and won from decades-long work by Black people and communities of color. And he continues to spread so many untruths just to maintain power that keeps him in close proximity to the ugliest and most dangerous White House administration. Sessions does not represent and never will represent any symbol of fairness and justice.
Jeff Sessions holds a prominent law license from the state of Alabama that gives him the power to be Attorney General. He should not be the Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice and he has no place in this country to practice law.It is long overdue to finally shut down his power and access as well as stop the harm that he continues to inflict. And the way we're going to do it is by getting him disbarred from the Alabama State Bar. Bar associations are responsible for issuing licenses for lawyers to practice but just as importantly ensuring that the integrity of how lawyers use their role is upheld.
The Alabama State Bar should not allow Jeff Sessions to keep a license to practice law. He is dishonest and corrupt. It's time to disbar him today.
Jeff Sessions has spearheaded Trump's entire Law and Order agenda. As Attorney General, Sessions has built a false, racist narrative that crime has exponentially increased across the U.S. Right after being sworn in as Attorney General, Sessions said national crime rates were the highest they'd ever been–but it was a lie. According to FBI data, the national rate was decreasing.1 Sessions is following the eerie and distorted words of Trump who said, "In many of our biggest cities, 2016 brought an increase in the number of homicides, rapes, assaults, and shootings."2 This in and of itself is a violation of the Alabama Bar Code of Ethics — Sessions is actively engaging in dishonesty as a chief law enforcer. This ignites fears and sets up a big platform for ruthless policies that directly impact Black people and many other marginalized groups.
This white supremacist narrative of Black people and immigrants as violent and dangerous has led to extreme changes and further violates another ethics code of being prejudice and bias. Sessions was determined to bring back the war on Black people by restarting the "War on Drugs." This includes pushing prosecutors to issue the most severe punishment against people who commit drug offenses, giving local police departments more power to arrest and surveil with access to militarized equipment. He's against any form of police accountability and has eliminated consent decrees. Sessions even went after Sanctuary cities by threatening to withhold federal funding for refusing to comply with harsh immigration laws. And Jeff Sessions reversed the ban on federal private prisons. Sessions said, "the ban on private prisons hurt the prison system's ability to meet the future needs for housing."3 This, of course, is all code for locking up more people for profit. This list goes on and on, and it will continue as long as Sessions has the power to keep his license.
Jeff Sessions does not represent the people. His job is to only target and criminalize our people. Alabama State Bar must take away his license now.
We already know who Jeff Sessions is. It is not just lies — but he is unapologetic in wanting to dismantle democracy and destroy the rights of all our communities. Plain and simple he is a White man with a lot of privilege and power he doesn't deserve. He is incapable of upholding the integrity of his position in the U.S. Department of Justice. Jeff Sessions has abused his power long enough.

Trump just announced he will take away free birth control from up to 55 million women, claiming it promotes "risky sexual behavior."
How 'bout you worry about controlling your own sexual behavior, and I worry about mine.
Women use birth control for everything from calming menstrual cramps to family planning to managing crippling pain from endometriosis. In fact, sex becomes a lot riskier without access to birth control.
Gosh, ya think?
This is just the latest attempt by the Trump administration to pander to right wing extremists who want to sabotage women
's health care.
FIFY. You're welcome.
The good news is that we can still save free birth control for millions of women who need it. Insurance companies benefit from covering the co-pay–in part because birth control is vastly cheaper than childbirth or endometriosis treatment. Let's make sure that every single health insurance company, starting with three of the biggest–UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Kaiser–hears from us right away.
Can you sign the petition and help pile the pressure onto insurers to continue to cover birth control?
Under a capitalist healthcare system, rights and access are dependent on a profit motive. Not on what is moral and good and the right thing to do. Not on laws or constitutions. Certainly not on the best health care practices. So we must desperately appeal to the bottom line of a parasitic, profit-driven industry, one whose notorious and egregious abuses are legion, and which in any sane and just society would not even fucking exist.
But here we are. Please sign and signal boost the petition if you are willing and able.
Well lookee here.
Rep. Tim Murphy resigns from Congress after allegedly asking woman to have abortion
Rep. Tim Murphy told House leaders on Thursday that he will resign from Congress this month, a day after the eight-term Pennsylvania Republican announced that he would not seek another term amid a personal scandal.
Personal scandal? Oh? Do tell…
The resignation of Murphy, a clinical psychologist, comes after a news report claimed that the married Republican had asked a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair to get an abortion.
Murphy is a member of the House Pro-Life Caucus and was a co-sponsor of a Republican bill approved Tuesday that bans most abortions after 20 weeks of fetal development.
Also: FUCK YOU CONSERVATIVES.
Since there are currently no pressing problems facing our great nation, the US House of Reprehensibles has just passed HB 36, a national ban on abortions after 20-weeks. Charmingly entitled "The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," the legislation would force a pregnant patient who is carrying a fetus that is dead, dying, or incompatible with life to carry it to term and give birth, unless the patient is in grave danger of death or "substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function."
According to reality, fetuses are not capable of feeling pain until at least 28 weeks. But since conservatives are highly allergic to reality, perhaps Your Liberal Media™ might helpfully report on this egregious tripe from another angle. Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that a fetus is indeed capable of feeling pain at 20 weeks.
You know what's really painful? Giving birth. (So I've heard – I personally dodged that bullet thank Vishnu.) I would like my legislator to promptly propose a bill entitled The Pain-Capable Pregnant Person Protection Act, which provides free abortions on demand to anyone who wishes to avoid the pain of childbirth. The bill should have no problem passing in this congress, seeing how the majority is so concerned about sparing citizens from painful medical procedures.
It'll probably do fuck all because cowards gonna cow, but please sign and share this petition if you are willing and able (via CREDO* Action):
Emergency petition: Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need gun control now.
Tell Republicans in Congress:
"It is time to put your constituents before the National Rifle Association. Reject currently pending legislation that would gut regulations on gun silencers and armor piercing bullets, block the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, and take immediate action to ban weapons of war, including assault weapons and large capacity magazines, which have no place in the hands of private citizens."

Humans; what an interesting breed.
You can characterize them in so many different ways. Short, tall, wide, thin, all different colors and then there is male and female. But have you actually sat down on a bench somewhere and really watched them. If you haven't you need to. That can be the most entertaining part of your day.
For instance, find yourself a bench on a street corner one day. Mind you get there early, that is when the morning exercisers are out. They come fast, or slow depending on how often they do it. You get the morning strollers, or the ones who take their dogs for a walk. Even though I think it is the dogs who take them for a walk. As you see them pass all of a sudden you are in the morning hustle and bustle of people trying to get to work. You have the ones who are early, get their morning coffee, join you on the bench and stroll off to the office after reading the paper. Then the ones who are robots, do the same thing every time day in and day out. You could set your watch to that bunch. Then comes the; watch out; late ones. These are the people who like to sleep or stay out to late. They come flying by half dressed, coffee spilling because they forgot to tighten the lid or forgot it all together. After it spills out they need to buy another one. When you are done laughing or just trying to stay out of their way you can let yourself breathe again.
As your morning goes on, you get to see the older folks venture out, they seem to have different point of view on the world. Some will go by and grumble, others act like they are teen agers again. They have their stories and somewhere in the conversation will say "well you know, it used to be like this".
The next set are the mother or fathers who have the day with their kids. I would need a whole other page to talk about kids, but parents, where do you start. There are the kind that want their kids to just follow and be straight laced. Then on the other side, you have the ones who have no ideas what their kids are doing when they are right there with them. Everyone raises their kids differently, so who am I to judge.
As lunch time rolls around, you have your group that wants a full course meal at that sit down restaurant. The ones who grab that Hotdog at the corner vender because they only have so many minutes before that meeting or deadline. Or, the ones that make their lunches and sit on the bench with you, or find a tree, or eat at their desk and then run as many errands as possible in the shortest amount of time.
By the time afternoon comes, things slow down a bit. You get the tired shoppers that by then are going bare foot, and the ones who are so into their looks that they try not to show how uncomfortable they really are. Office workers who get off early for one reason or another, some are in a hurry and others not.
Evening just sort of blends into the afternoon, because most of them are oblivious to the world around them. They get pushy, impatient, and rude and downright mean. But if you keep looking, there can be that person who hasn't a care in the world and just goes along weaving in and out of all the others like they were not even there. You get the most gracious ones, and the "I will help you with that" ones. And depending on which bench you are on, there can be the second round of workers coming into work. Having slept all day they are ready to go and usually pass with a slap on the hand, or a see you later greeting.
When the lights come on, the late crowd comes out of the wood works. The parties start, the TVs get turned on and the commuters go to wherever they are going. And the cycle starts all over again.
I was there, I know. And one day I woke up and said that I was tired of being a Robot! Find a way to enjoy you time on this wonderful earth, and make meaning to your life. I am!
Sandy Mangis

The latest compliance deadline for the FACTA Red Flag rules is quickly approaching, and you should be afraid (very afraid). Well, okay, maybe not afraid afraid, but you should be concerned. Sure, about compliance, but also about a larger slippery-slope issue that is escalating. See, the government wants us to believe that every business that invoices for services rendered are extending credit, and are thus subject to the new rules. This argument is dangerous and represents a serious, unwarranted overreach of authority.
First, before you go too far, please check out this summary of the matter on the InfoLawGroup blog:
"Physicians Seek Relief On Eve of FTC's Red Flags Enforcement Deadline"
Now that you've read that, consider the crux of the issue: what exactly is meant by "extending credit"? Certainly the ECOA definitions aren't overly helpful here. More importantly, we have to wonder: to issue credit, don't you have to know how much credit you're extending? In the case of most bills invoiced post-service-delivery, there isn't a known cost up front (which is why the bill is invoiced rather than charged before the service is provided). This situation is further exaggerated in the case of medical practitioners when you factor in filing health insurance claims. Even if the physician or facility knows how much the services cost at list price once the service is rendered, they are unlikely to know how much the patient actually owes until the bill has been submitted to the insurance provider (at which point negotiated rates kick-in, deductibles are calculated, and so on).
More concerning to me is that this seems like a blatant attempt by the FTC to broaden the definition of "credit" and "creditor" to an absurd point. What's next? Are consulting firms going to told that they're subject to the rules, too, because we give a cost estimate up front? What about the gutter cleaning service that gives me an estimate ahead of the work, but then invoices me afterward? What about retail stores that list the price of an item on a shelf, but let you carry that item for a while before having to pay for it? Where does the line get crossed?
The fundamental problem is this: the FTC is create a false range of authority that is not properly granted to them by Congress. We've already seen how well this has worked out for the FCC - it didn't (see NYT: "U.S. Court Curbs F.C.C. Authority on Web Traffic"). The key takeaway here is that regulatory agencies seem to be pushing hard to extend their authority (turf building?) using any possible excuse. This is not beneficial to business or society, because it means that Executive Branch agencies are trying to operate outside the degree of authority that has been Constitutionally granted to them by Congress.
So, I ask: where does it all end? Rather than fixing the problem through establishing proper authority and regulatory control, will we tolerate pseudo-authorities enforcing regulations on technically-out-of-scope orgs that may end up representing an undue burden on those organizations? It's highly vexing to me, and I hope to you as well. Scope of authority is not at the discretion of the regulating agency. Lawlessness cannot be used to apply legal rules.

Group that seized Tripoli takes Libyan government, oil company websites
CAIRO, Oct 14 (Reuters) - A self-declared Libyan government set up by an armed group that seized the capital in August has taken over the websites of the state administration and the national oil company, adding to confusion over who is running the country.
With Libya's official government and parliament now operating from towns hundreds of miles east of Tripoli, the armed group, from the western city of Misrata, that has seized ministry buildings in the capital now controls their websites.
The website of Prime Minister Abdullah Thinni - who now sits with his cabinet in the eastern city of Bayda - shows the picture of the man the Misrata rebels have declared as prime minister, Omar al-Hasi, and lists the names of his team.true
The group, which calls itself the National Salvation government, has also taken over the website of the National Oil Corp. Next to tender offers, the website features the picture of the self-declared government's oil minister.
Libya's neighbours and Western powers fear the conflict between the two rival governments could drag the OPEC member into civil war.
While Thinni's government - recognised by the United Nations - has relocated to Bayda, the elected House of Representatives is now based in Tobruk, even further east, near the Egyptian border.
Last month, the United Nations launched talks aimed at solving the crisis by bringing together members of the House of Representatives and Misrata lawmakers who have boycotted the assembly since it convened in August.
The talks have not taken in armed factions from Misrata or a rival militia allied to the western city of Zintan who battled Misrata forces in Tripoli for more than a month over the summer.
But diplomats hope that since Misrata members from the house are indirectly linked to a rival parliament that has been set up in Tripoli, the talks will start a broader political dialogue. (Reporting by Ulf Laessing; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)

Atlanta becomes biggest southern city, first in Georgia to commit to 100 percent clean energy
ATLANTA - Atlanta last night became the 27th city in the country to commit to transition to 100 percent clean and renewable energy.
The Atlanta City Council on Monday unanimously approved a measure introduced by Councilman Kwanza Hall that establishes a community-wide goal of transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035. The resolution also directs the Atlanta Office of Sustainability to develop a plan by January 2018 to meet the 100 percent renewable energy goal across all city operations by 2025 and community-wide by 2035. A copy of the measure can be found here.
Atlanta represents the first city in Georgia and the biggest southern city to commit to 100 percent clean, renewable energy.
In response, Ted Terry, Director of the Sierra Club's Georgia Chapter, issued the following statement:
"Just days after hundreds of thousands marched for climate action across the globe, city leaders here in Atlanta are answering the call.
Cities like Atlanta must lead the way in confronting the threat of climate change and accelerating the transition to 100 percent clean energy. Today's commitment will inspire bold, ambitious leadership from cities throughout the United States and pave the way for a healthier and stronger Atlanta.
There is still more work to do to re-power all of Atlanta with renewable energy. This commitment represents just the starting point for the community. As we move away from fossil fuels to 100 percent clean energy, we must ensure that those most threatened by dirty fuels are first in line to see the benefits that come with this transition.
We look forward to working with our partners and city leaders to realize this vision of an Atlanta powered by 100 percent clean, renewable energy."
"We know that moving to clean energy will create good jobs, clean up our air and water and lower our residents' utility bills. We never thought we'd be away from landline phones or desktop computers, but today we carry our smartphones around and they're more powerful than anything we used to have. We have to set an ambitious goal or we're never going to get there."
Atlantaand the State of Georgia have made strides in recent years by expanding renewable energy like solar.
According to theDepartment of Energy, solar makes up the largest share of Georgia energy generation jobs. 5,261 work in Georgia's clean energy sector compared with 2,535 across all fossil fuels industries. According to Environment America, the City of Atlanta ranks 40th out of the 50 most populous U.S. cities in the total amount of solar installed.
Last summer, the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) approved Georgia Power Company's latest long-term energy plan. The final plan—agreed to through a settlement agreement between the utility, commission staff, and several other parties, including the Sierra Club—represented the largest increase in renewable energy ever in Georgia.
The Sierra Club urged the Georgia Public Service Commission to require local utility Georgia Power to expand their proposed Renewable Energy Development Initiative. Initially, Georgia Power proposed to add just 525 new megawatts of wind and solar between by 2020. The final plan tripled that amount up to 1,600 megawatts of new renewable energy, mostly solar, by 2021.
Groups and community partners supporting Atlanta's 100 percent clean energy resolution include the Sierra Club Georgia Chapter, Environment Georgia, Rev. Dr. Gerald L Durley, Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Partnership for Southern Equity, Georgia Organics, Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda Clean, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Georgia Watch, Georgia NAACP, Hannah Solar, EV Club of the South, Solar Crowd Source, Georgia, Solar Energy Association, Spelman College, Mothers and Others for Clean Air, HBCU Green Fund, Georgia Chapter of the US Green Building Council.

Heads up: Former Commissioner Buckelew pleads guiltyBy Wade Kwon
After 16 years of service on the Jefferson County Commission, Mary Buckelew has gone down in disgrace. She plead guilty Tuesday to one count of obstruction of justice.
Buckelew lied to a grand jury about receiving $4,000 in designer shoes, a purse, a spa treatment and more, all to influence her vote on sewer bonds and swaps.
For eight years, she served as commission president. In 1997, Governing magazine honored her as a Public Official of the Year. Now, she's expected to lead prosecutors to bigger targets in the ongoing investigation of the county's poorly managed sewer system.
She joins a growing list of convicted commissioners: Jeff Germany, Chris McNair and Gary White.
Meanwhile, Jefferson County has considered declaring bankruptcy over the $3.2 billion owed in interest alone. How deep is the financial hole, and how deep is the corruption that led us here?

I am not a compulsive producer: Manoj Bajpayee
Actor Manoj Bajpai, who has turned producer with his upcoming film that stars actor Tabu, says that he wants to help filmmakers who are unable to get funds for their films.bollywood Updated: Jun 13, 2015 13:47 IST
Actor Manoj Bajpai, who has turned producer with his upcoming film that stars actor Tabu, says that he wants to help filmmakers who are unable to get funds for their films. "As a production house, we will be focusing on projects that have no backing. I am not a compulsive producer who has to produce three to four films a year. I want to be part of projects that I believe in," he says.
The 46-year-old adds that he will not look at the commercial viability of films while deciding which projects to produce. "My focus will always be on the script rather than other things. And whoever talks about the commercial viability of a project at the script stage is very naive. Most films which do well, never seem commercially viable at that stage," he says.
Meanwhile, Manoj, who is known for his roles in films such as Bandit Queen (1994) and Rajneeti (2010), has had his share of ups and downs in his career. However, the actor says that it is very important to not let this get to you. "There are bad patches in everyone's career, but you must not stop. The momentum has to continue. You cannot let this affect you," he says.
The Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) actor, who has been in the industry for more than two decades now, says that filmmakers need to work on the content of films. "We need to focus on stronger content. Once we see that something works, we start imitating that. I feel that the focus has to be on different kinds of films and subjects," he says.

Surgical procedures can be stressful for the patient, and clear communication could be one key for reducing stress for Pennsylvania patients heading into surgery. Pre-surgery education has been shown to greatly improve patient outcomes when it covers a variety of topics, including the importance of adhering to post-surgery protocol.
Pennsylvania drivers should use extra caution on certain days
Motor vehicle accidents occur more often during certain periods each year partly because of alcohol. A road trip over a long holiday weekend is a riskier time to travel at any rate because there is usually heavier traffic on the highways. Nevertheless, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports approximately 400 deaths occur in the U.S. over Memorial Day weekend each year, and that alcohol is a factor in more than 40 percent of those car accidents. July 4 is another day prone to alcohol-related crashes on U.S. roads. According to reports by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 42 percent of accidents on Independence Day involve drunk drivers.
Monitoring hospital errors
As many Pennsylvanians already know, preventable medical error kills approximately 200,000 individuals in the United States annually. In an attempt to determine how health care professionals react to witnessed error, one study queried 1,700 health care workers.
Pennsylvania man pleads guilty in fatal crash
It has been reported that a Pennsylvania man pleaded guilty in April to causing a car accident that left an 18-year-old woman dead. The man had been found to be under the influence of alcohol and heroin at the time of the accident.

The somewhat lower temperatures of the past few days have come as a welcome relief for many but have done nothing to alleviate the drought situation. Cooler air is also heavier and denser so tends to sink, encouraging pressure to rise at the surface to further aid the drought. The air of cooler origin, however, is more unstable and as it mixes with warmer air today and tomorrow locally sharp hit and miss showers will break-out.
We already have a few showers around the Welsh borders and to the North of Manchester, but these'll fade. There are also quite large amounts of cloud this morning, that's giving some patchy light rain over Scotland.
This too will peter-out in a day that'll brighten over Scotland especially to the south of the Forth/Clyde valley where together with Northern Ireland, there'll be some warm sunshine later. Most parts will be dry, but cloud amounts will vary, perhaps building sufficiently to give the odd sharp shower mostly towards Dumfries and Galloway where it's already quite sunny. Winds'll be light with top temperatures 18 to 22C except in the far North, and North West, where a cooler 14 to 16C is more likely.
Over Wales and England, eastern areas, in particular, are waking to cloud and we also have those showers along the Welsh borders. Although cloud amounts will continue to vary, there's already some sunshine down the spine of England and over the West Country and South West, with the sun coming through in most parts later to give a very warm afternoon. Most places continue to be dry, in just a gentle breeze from a northerly quarter that'll keep the East coast cooler. As afternoon temperatures, however, reach a very warm 22 to 24C fairly generally and 25 or 26C in the sunnier spots.
This'll trigger a few more sharp showers, mostly in the West. Where you catch one, it could be torrential giving thunder and the risk of local 'flash' flooding, but they'll be 'hit and miss' with most parts having yet another dry day.
Storm Forecast issued for today - read it here.
Cloud amounts will vary, but for most, it'll be a summery evening, with some further sunshine to end the day. The showers will largely fade after dark to leave a mainly dry night, but with low cloud and mist 'rolling-in' off the North Sea to affect many eastern counties again by dawn. Elsewhere there'll be clear spells, and with only a light breeze mostly from a northerly quarter, a few short-lived mist patches may form in some rural valleys towards morning. It'll be a very mild slightly humid night in the South where temperatures shouldn't fall below 14 to 16C, with 10 to 12C more likely further North.
While there'll continue to be a good deal of fine weather on Friday and most parts will stay dry, the risk of catching a heavy shower or thunderstorm from mid-afternoon will be more acute. Cloud mostly in East will lift and clear during the morning, allowing spells of very warm sunshine to come through again in most parts. Showers will develop through the afternoon, however, mostly over Wales, central southern England, the West Country, the West Midlands and in hilly areas further North. Some will again give local torrential downpours and with light winds, will be slow moving. This'll mean that some parts get a deluge, while others just a few miles 'down the road' see nothing.
Most of Scotland and Northern Ireland will see sunny spells, and it'll become very warm where you have the best of the sunshine, with perhaps the odd heavy shower 'breaking-out' over the Southern Uplands later. Towards Donegal and Highland, however, a freshening southerly breeze will bring cloud and some patchy rain through the afternoon. Top temperatures here only 15 to 17C, with 18 to 24C more likely elsewhere. Over England and Wales temperatures should reach 23 to 26C fairly generally, with 27 or 28C possible in the sunnier spots across the South.
The showers will fade into the evening, leaving much of England and Wales with a dry night. Clearing skies and light winds will allow a few mist or fog patches to form again in rural areas towards dawn, but these'll be short-lived soon clearing after sunrise. The North and West of Scotland and Northern Ireland though will be cloudy in a southerly breeze, with patchy rain. It'll be a humid night over southern England, where temperatures shouldn't fall below 15 to 17C, but it'll be somewhat cooler further North where 10 to 13C is more likely.


text: Edna Flara Robinson and Judson Haddock Richardson were married on Saturday, May 27, 2017 on the front porch at The Wynn House in a 5:30 p.m. ceremony. Jeremy Statum officiated at the ceremony. It was a beautiful, sweet, and whimsical wedding and following the wedding ceremony, a reception was also held at The Wynn House on the side yard under a large tent. The flowers and decorations were absolutely gorgeous at the ceremony and the reception thanks to the work done by B. Anderson Floral Designs. Thanks also to Warner Neal and Carol Northrup of Outdoor Events for all their help with the tent and other items needed for an outdoor wedding and reception. After more family photos inside The Wynn House, Jud and Edy came down the steps from the side entrance to the Wynn House and entered the tent and had the traditional first dance, which ended up not being a normal traditional first dance. Then it was on to cutting the pie, not cake, but a Wynn House Buttermilk Pie. Then the fun began! Jud's cousins - John and Michael Fatum are in a band called the RadTrads, who travel all over the world performing. Attendees enjoyed dancing the night away to the great mix played by the RadTrads. They were fabulous! A delicious dinner of Breakfast for Dinner prepared by the Wynn House staff was also enjoyed by all. Thanks to the entire Wynn House staff for a tremendous evening thanks to all their hard work and to Patti Hasting, who is the best wedding planner ever! Edy's family also had a tribute to her father, Frank Robinson, who passed away on Thursday, May 18, by giving out orange t-shirts with a popsicle and the saying "Pop's Here" along with popsicles for everyone. It was a very sweet and touching tribute to Edy's father. Being the Ghostbuster lovers that Jud and Edy are, Michael Fatum had a surprise for the couple when they came back for their last set of music. Who should appear but the Ghostbusters RadTrads in authentic Ghostbuster gear and outfits! It really surprised Jud and Edy and the entire dance floor was filled with attendees dancing to the Ghostbusters theme song! It was quite an event! The happy couple left around 10:30 p.m. with sparklers lit along either side of the front walk as they departed the Wynn House to get into a retro VW blue bus and head to their honeymoon at The Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, Florida with visits to Universal, Disney, and especially Harry Potter World. Congratulations to Jud and Edy!Read More

Designed specifically for casting on higher
weight rods & lines for bluefin and stripers!
These are a very versatile lure and will
catch fish all different ways! The 1.5 oz Toona Tamer needlefish is
designed to cast well and will sink at a medium rate if allowed to drift. These are
absolute killer sand-eel imitations!
"The way I am catching stripers on that
1.5 Toona Tamer I need a dozen! Last night was epic!
Oh and the old popper "big mouth popper" I had a Bass take that thing
and ran like a run away freight train then threw it (huge bass)
I am never buying another builders plugs"
your lures ! All I use"
"This past season I
ordered a few of your 1 oz needle fish off your website after I had
cleaned out the selection from Canal Bait and Tackle. Which by the
way are THE BEST plug on Light Tackle I have ever used. They caused
some of the most vicious strikes I had all year"
mean what I say, the three of us were in awe today at how well your
plug held up. Not only does it work, but it doesn't bust into a
million pieces like a yoz### etc after a nice fish. I could put it
on the line right now and go catch another tuna without doing a
thing….even the bucktail looks sweet."
"Picked up the yellow over white at Blackbeards yesterday.
Bought the last few he had, the ones with the eyes on them, not sure
about the size.
Had tuna smashing them today along with bass and blues…managed an 79
or 80 pound tuna on the boat and I have to say I'm amazed how well
your hardware held up. Scott, when I tell you this tuna had a
single hook in his mouth that's all he had and it looks like it's
brand new. Not bent, not broken…looks new. Your making a great
piece of hardware, just figured I'd let you know what we thought. I
think that thing could have handled a 120 pound tuna no problem."
"I've been reading
all of Riptides posts - talking about how good the Saltybugger plugs
are. I
bought one this week at Firefly outfitters in Boston.
Picked up the yellow needle fish.
the day on Boston Harbor with my usual storm shad and slug### -
nothing. Fish came to surface and would not hit shads or slug###.
Tied on my new Saltybugger plug, scrambled to take the hook
protectors off (need to do that before I leave the dock) and came
tight on my first cast.
Steady pick of 30-45" bass in Boston
Harbor this AM - due to the Saltybugger plugs!!!!
I'm a convert!!!!"
picked up one of your plugs when I was up at First Light over the
weekend too, built to last with some great hardware. I'll never buy
another XXXbs-quality plug again, your stuff is top shelf at a very
fair price."
"Almost got the skunk this
morning, but salty needles saved me. Caught on the white patriot and
the blurple stubby and nothing else.
Thanks for making nice, affordable plugs that catch fish."
Comment on recent order:
Salty...those stubbies catch fish."
THAT Ladies & Gentlemen is what it's all about. Well designed lures
that catch fish!
I receive letters and notes from many
people who fish my lures. The common theme seems to be large fish :)
Another Angler writes of a
trip to Block Island:
"Sorry I totally forgot the camera I was late for the ferry and I
left it sitting on my front seat in the parking lot.
Here is the whole story:
I went over for the night to fish with a couple of friends, they
told me Tuesday Morning that they have been getting teen sized
fish (pounds) so I said fine still fun maybe I can go to some of
my spots they don't know and show them and there are usually
bigger fish there at times.
I hit the 3 o'clock ferry and got on the Island at 4pm, we hung
out talked fishing and headed out for the dusk bite, we went to
#### the place was dead I got one Blue fish probably 3 pounds then
nothing. After we went to #### and fished till full dark and
nothing there at this point I am like this always happens to me.
the sea was down and wind changed.
back to the base and we had dinner and planned the night, it would
be high tide 11 or 12 mid night so we went to #### and first cast
I had a fish on and I reeled in and it was weeds? weeds don't
shake? it got off? well few more cast nothin so I moved next cast
20 pound fish released and after 3 casts it happened the hugest
hit ever and then the run and run and run I was like oh !^@#%!.
tighten the drag still run tighten more then it stopped I slowly
pumped it in and after 2 more smaller runs I landed it 43 inches
32 pounds I let it go I wasn't going to carry it up a 75 foot
bluff like that 44 pounder. well that was my personal best to
date. as the tide dropped I had a couple of more come off and
another 2 15 pound fish landed. 3 hours down (2am) from High we
went to #### nothing there I had a bout 20 grabs and 3 hooked and
let go but either small bass or maybe small blues. so we left.
they were calling it #### but my map says differently. any way I
did good there and landed 4 that were 28 to 32 inches and 3 that
came off. Island fish fight like hell and know how to use the
rocks. now it was 6 am and we were tired and wet. so we called it
a good trip and went back. I tell you I am so glad I had that
Salty Bugger Electric Chartruce needle fish because it out fished
the other 2 guys and one that usually out fishes me got skunked. I
just wish I brought more so I could have shared. I slept for 2
hours and jumped on the ferry at 11:45am well worth the trip and
the money. 7 keepers 28 to 32 1 cow 43 inches and a small Blue
All on Salty's
I get asked a lot about what colors are best?
Olive/White mimics a nice size sand eel or needlefish color and size when
you see it in the water..
Black/Silver makes a perfect small fish imitation such as medium/large
sandeel. Electric Squid is a
great color to imitate frightened squid as they flee predator fish in the
rips and rocks of the northeast. Yellow or Parrot at sunrise or cloudy days.
Black/purple at night with the glow eyes is a killer if you softly light up
the eyes in your headlamp. On sunny days I stick with a color that has a high
definition color hue change on it....Olive/White, Blue/White, etc.
Spend some time looking at the bait prevalent in your area and you will soon
understand why certain colors can give you just that little bit extra
advantage to entice a larger fish to take your lure.
Don't be afraid to use such colors as Olive/White, Blue/White, Parrot, or
Yellow/White at night either!
We've found that the larger needles work very well
from a boat also! A 6'6" St Croix Musky Stick with 12 lb test line lets you
get a decent "lob" on them and the backbone of the rod is great for keeping
them up on top.
Slow steady retrieve, occasional twitch. You can make them "swim" real nice
and stay in contact with the lure for even the light hits! Works well in rip
edges for light tackle fishing!

Warm sunshine and blue skies brought visitors in their thousands to the National Eisteddfod, which is one of Europe's largest cultural festivals for young people, and is being staged this week in Flint, Wales.
Officials said around 19,000 people passed through the gates – the highest Monday attendance since 2012. More than 90,000 visitors are expected at this week-long festival, with over 48,000 competitors taking part.
Whilst the competitors have been busy showcasing their talents, we have been busy in the car parks, but doing something that we don't often get to do. Those of you with OCD might like it!

It was the 13th year for Radio 1's Big Weekend, and it saw some of world's best-selling musicians and 50,000 music lovers descend on the Castle in Devon for two days over the May Bank Holiday. Tickets were snapped up by music fans in an hour when they went up for grabs on the internet.
We had been planning for the event for several months alongside other event organisers, local Councils, British Transport Police and the emergency services, and we were onsite for a week getting it ready.
On the two concert days we were helped by a further 75 members of staff – a big thank you to everyone for their hard work!
As always, it was fantastic to be part of, and we are already wondering where 2017's will be.

Heat Transport in Saturated He II with Surface Heat Transfer in the Turbulent Counterflow Regime
Many large cryogenic systems provide refrigeration using pressurized He II that is cooled by a saturated bath heat exchanger. These heat exchangers consist of a closed-end tube or vessel filled with saturated helium which is immersed in the pressurized bath. Significant temperature gradients are possible within the saturated helium due to high heat fluxes through the liquid. To more fully understand the temperature gradient in the saturated bath and its effects on heat exchanger performance, the relevant form of the heat equation was solved analytically and numerically. To verify the results of the mathematical model, an experiment was performed to measure the temperature gradient within the saturated helium bath of a heat exchanger at various heat loads. Good agreement between the numerical results and the experimental data was achieved.

The chill in bilateral ties is not likely to thaw soon.Kremlin.ru
On the eve of the long-awaited visit of the Russian President to Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, scheduled to take place on December 15-16, Tokyo, understandably, intensified its level of preparations for the visit.
The Japanese media reported that Tokyo "did not take into account the objections of Washington", which is not keen to see too warm a reception being accorded for Vladimir Putin. These messages should not be taken at face value.
Japan is a country with a limited sovereignty, whose freedom to make independent decisions has limits. However, at a moment of a major change in the US administration, and prospects for a large-scale shift in US foreign policy, perhaps Japan really has some gained serious leeway. It is possible to ignore the "wishes" of those formally in power, but who have, in fact, lost much of their influence – the (Barack) Obama Administration, and those who have not yet taken the White House – the Donald Trump Administration.
It is entirely likely that the media 'leak' was nothing but a PR stunt, without any serious background. As is already known, President Putin's previous visit to Japan was disrupted, because of US pressure. Against this background, the current leak merely allows Tokyo to present itself in a more favourable light.
As a result, in recent years, Tokyo has taken some steps in various directions with the express purpose of currying favour with the Kremlin (and Russian public opinion), in order to make progress on the Kuril Islands issue.
Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the imminent easing of visa requirements with Russia. And the Japanese media reported that their government has plans to soften the anti-Russia sanctions regime. The reasons for this are obvious. For Shinzo Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan, a breakthrough in Russian-Japanese relations is in fact a fixated idea. A breakthrough is intended only for the conclusion of a peace treaty, and the resolution of the territorial dispute.
It is also rumoured that Japan is ready for some very attractive and favourable, for Russia, cooperation in the fields of medicine and communications. A separate theme is bilateral cooperation in the fisheries and tourism spheres, as well as possible joint activities on the four disputed islands.
Japan is making a great deal of effort to demonstrate its hospitality and willingness to cooperate.
However, the main problem lies in the fact that all these gestures are only a supplement to the main – territorial – problem, and here the situation for Japan looks rather bleak.
On the one hand, Tokyo is locked in a trap of its own years-long propaganda, firmly sticking to its demands that all four islands must be returned, instead of just the two agreed upon in the 1956 declaration. However, progress and work on public opinion in this respect is ongoing.
On the other hand, in recent months, Russia has been demonstrating an extremely tough stance on this issue, at the highest levels.
As a result, a not too pleasant situation is developing for Tokyo on the eve of Putin's visit, when all attempts to soften Moscow's position on the Kuril Islands keep stumbling into a concrete wall.
Another very significant aspect was the refusal of Moscow to accept another dog of the Akita Inu breed as a present for Vladimir Putin. It is hardly possible to interpret this step as anything else, but a demonstration of the Kremlin's, at minimum, chilly attitude before the President's trip.
It seems that a very difficult visit of the Russian President, in all respects, lies ahead for Tokyo, with very dim prospects.
Does Japan deserve anything different, after the openly vassal behaviour it has been showing in the last few years?

I'm alive! Me and my life to the sea for a week and i've been enjoying the sun~~ (under the shadow, because i can't tan) it's been so long since i last went to the beach, it's nice *u*
anyway, since the place is so good and the view is breathtaking, i wanted to review something here (ノ・ω・)ノ
What i want to talk about this time is a skin product that i've been using for two years now~
It's (another) Etude House product, from the Skin mal:gaem line!
The Skin Mal:Gaem line aims to improve skin tipes and give perfect complexion with it's products, i only ever tried the Emulsion, but i really want to try all the other products from this line!
The Emulsion is actually a 3 in 1 product, Emulsion + Cream + Essence, being the lazy ass that i'm always are, when i saw that i could have all this things in just one product immediately jumped on it! (σ≧▽≦)σ
The packaging is really simple and classy, it come in a mat, glass-like container, but it's actually plastic, so it's easier to bring around, and you don't have to worry for it to break if it accidentally fall, it has a cute pink cap and i love the writing in it, as always, Etude House makes really great packaging.
In the back there are instruction in both korean and english, and you can see the description of the term Mal:Gaem.
The opening of the bottle is kinda big, so you have to be careful taking out the product because there can be the risk of taking out more product than necessary (≧o≦)
It has a lot of fruit extracts in it, and you can definitely see that your face gets brighter after every application, i like to apply it at night, after my shower because it's super moisturizing, and it feels amazing on my tired and dry skin.
It's really light on the skin and it gets absorbed really easily, and it doesn't feel sticky at all!
This emulsion leaves the skin really smooth and nice, and it has a really nice smell, to me it smell kinda like baby powder and sweet fruits, it's not too overwhelming too, so it's great.
It might be too light for people with really dry skin, but i honesty find this product wonderful, you can see your skin getting better almost immediately!
As i said before, i really want to try other products for this line, and i'm overly happy of this product ≧◡≦
❀ Nice Smell
❀ Moisturizing
❀ Whitens skin
❀ Result are visible almost immediately
❀ Pretty Packaging
❀ Bottle not travel friendly
❀ Opening of the bottle big, so it's easy to squeeze out more product that what's necessary
Where To Buy: Etude House Skin Mal:Gem Emulsion
p.s: Like my facebook page: Chocowip
Also, have some photos from my trip to this really pretty sea locality (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
This is the view from the breakfast table
Had my nails done there, rainbow glittery nails *3*

Well it's been a long time since the last post and time is always at a premium, two grand children have arrived, I have changed jobs and my son has written off his first car (he's fine thankfully).
Well the annual fuel bill for calendar year 2011 was just over $7500!! The wife god bless her said "enough we need an electric car", music to my ears so the bike went on hold and the car is moving along quite well.
Here are some mug shots.... enjoy
Small Tardis of a car with room for 4 big people like me.
Yes there's my baby in the back ground only needs batteries and a chain.
Hole to fill
3 small pistons, 1 big electric motor, 4 x the toque hope Mr gearbox is up to it
Just glue this piece to that piece
The beginnings of a cheep adapter plate
$80 for the coupler however I will need to machine this
12 mm and 13 mm machined off the coupler and the the center of the "spider" machined out
Shows motor in housing with top plate for mounting controller and the like, motor has double ended shaft, hoping to drive air conditioner pump
Here is the hot water system for the demister, a cylindrical heater as used on the barrel of an injection mold machine and a catch thank fro the local speed shop
Just another image of the heater
And on test, just boiling water for a coffee
Brackets for the battery box this is going where the fuel tank was
Some idea of size
And they go here
Yes the creepy doll is watching Bye for now.
