For years, I have tried. Month after month, I give it my best effort but it never seems to work. Each day, I try a new approach but the approach doesn't make a difference.
I've given my money. I've sacrificed my time. I've invested my emotions. I've offered my gifts, talents, and abilities. I've even "let go" of many of the dreams of my childhood. Yet, none of these things seem to accomplish the task.
What is this task I am speaking of? Out-giving God.
Just when I think I've given everything I can relationally, God brings a new, fresh, life-giving relationship into my life! At the moment I'm convinced that I have no more emotional energy to expend, God blesses me with an experience that fills my "emotional cup" to overflowing! On those days when I am sure that my ability to effectively communicate has come to an end, God multiplies the impact of my words in ways I had never imagined He would! When I foolishly believe that I've sacrificed financially more than I should, God brings provision into my home in the most obscure ways! On the many occasions when I know that coming up with another creative idea is just not possible, God blesses me with another one! Even as a runner, as corny as it may sound, when my feet are telling me that they cannot take another step, God gives me the strength to run another mile!
And Peter said, "See, we have left our homes and followed you." And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life." - Luke 18:28-30
Many times more. This is the God I serve!
If you give God your faith, He will show you His faithfulness...many times more. If you give God your finances, He will prove to you His ability to finance...many times more. If you give God your future, He will give you His presence in your present...many times more.
You cannot out-give God.
If you give God your time, He will multiply the effort that you put into that time...many times more. If you give God your abilities, He will take those abilities and give you opportunities you could never attain yourself...many times more. If you give God your hopes, He will give you reasons to have hope in Him...many times more.
You cannot out-give God.
His gifts are longer-lasting, more fulfilling, higher quality, better timed.
You cannot out-give God.
But I dare you to try!

Category: Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Responded To Adam Rippon, Adam Rippon Responded To Reese Witherspoon
Adam Rippon may have become the star of the 2018 Winter Olympics and been named HSOTD for the little "hold me daddy" harness he wore to the Oscars, but if he thinks he can come for Johnny Weir, the one and only Ice Queen that counts (no Elsa, take a seat dear. This competition is not for you until you come out), he's got another thing coming.
When Adam appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and insinuated that Johnny is jealous of his boogie, Johnny #tooktotwitter and opened up an entire can of… mature response and genuine encouragement? Damn, son! Shit just got Weir-ed!
Adam Rippon Thinks There's A Chance That Johnny Weir Is Jealous Of Him
What the 2018 Winter Olympics was really missing (besides Steve Langton pulling a Pita Taufatofua by showing up topless, oiled-up and ready to go at the closing ceremonies) was 28-year-old Adam Rippon and 33-year-old Johnny Weir skating hand-in-hand onto the ice in matching sequined catsuits and twirling in unison to an acoustic, haunting version of Lindsay Lohan's Rumors as a response to Page Six saying that Johnny is the Cristal Connors to Adam's Nomi Malone. But Adam and Johnny never dropped a load of glittery shit onto that rumor, and that could be because there was some truth to it.
Open Post: Hosted By Johnny Weir Giving Us Gaga
While watching dramatic ice-skating swan and proud Little Monster Johnny Weir showing Lady Gaga how Lady Gaga is really done on Lip Sync Battle, it might occur to you that THIS is what he's wanted to do all along.
Never mind Olympic medals and judge's scores. THIS is the moment for which Johnny Weir was hatched out of his Faberge egg! Lip-synching in drag! Johnny should leave judging those boring ice dancers to the lessers. He needs to take the stage at your local drag bar. He needs to become a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race and make those girls gag in unison over his fire. This isn't just Gaga fish he's giving us, it's Gaga MERMAID.

Johnny Weir Is Having None Of Tonya Harding's Redemption Arc
With the success of I, Tonya, Tonya Harding has a rare opportunity to revamp her image and go from villain to underdog. While she may be making headway in Hollywood and with the American public, figure skating's #1 glitter angel Johnny Weir says that Tonya will not to be getting any standing ovations from him. According to TMZ, Johnny hasn't forgiven her for what happened to Nancy Kerrigan.
The Crystal Enchantress Of The Ice Is At It Again
The last time I farted something up about Johnny Weir and his on-and-off-and-on-and-off-again husband Victor Voronov, they were on again and then off again. Since then, they've continued to be on and off and continued to make the winter wonderland swans squirt out dull rhinestone tears of disappointment by being absolute messy, violent, trashy wrecks. Well, the winter wonderland swans are still crying, because over the weekend Johnny Weir allegedly attacked Victor again.
TMZ says that on Saturday night at their home in New Jersey, The Crystal Enchantress of the Ice got one scratch closer to becoming The Crystal Enchantress of the Cell Block when he allegedly scratched and slapped Victor after reading some shit he didn't like on Victor's cellphone. Victor went to the police the next day to report that mess and showed them pictures of the scratches. Victor only wanted to report the attack and wasn't interested in keeping Johnny away with an emergency restraining order. A source (Hi, Victor!) tells TMZ that Johnny went through Victor's phone and found some test messages where Victor talked shit about him. Victor claims he wrote the texts months ago and wrote them while they were going through a messy break-up.
Victor ran his ass over to Inside Edition and after he collected a cashiers check from them, he spilled his side of Saturday night's scratch down.
"I was terrified. He was red. I said, if you don't leave me alone, I will call the police. He would not leave me alone. So I had my phone; I was trying to call the police. So he attacked me to get the phone out of my hand."
Here's one of the scratches that Johnny allegedly gave Victor (Side question: Is that shaped like a broken heart or like a dead moth?):
These two messes have a history of Ike Turner-ing each other. Johnny Weir had to go to court in March for biting Victor during a fight and Johnny claimed in an interview with Access Hollywood that Victor has punched him several times.
We all know how this is going to go. They're going to make up, renew their vows, get into another fight about some dumb shit, scratch at each other, file another police report, cry about it on Inside Edition and so and so and so on. They should both permanently have a seat in separate corners, because you know shit is past the point of no return when you make the Knowles-Carters look functional by comparison.
And in happy gay news, we can all get married in Oregon now! Let's grow beards and toast to that with an artisanal beer!
The Crystal Enchantress Of The Ice And His Husband Are Back Together Again After Signing A Ridiculous Post-Nup (UPDATE)
After weeks of scratching, biting and spitting at each other in the media and using their dog as a fluffy, adorable shank to stab each other in the throat with, Johnny Weir and his husband of 3 years Victor Voronov have stopped throwing Faberge eggs at each other and are back together again. To quote The Crystal Enchantress' hair stylist when he told them he wanted green My Little Pony tails for bangs: "This is not going to be pretty."
The Crystal Enchantress of the Ice made the sparkles on rhinestones dim and snow leopards cry out snowflakes when he announced last month that he and Victor broke up. During the days after their divorce announcement, they publicly delivered the gayest episode of Dynasty ever which is saying a lot since every episode of Dynasty is the gayest episode of Dynasty ever. They screamed, they cried and they brought the gay drama in thick, heavy doses. But they're done with that for now and they're back to rubbing nipples on top of Johnny's grey mink comforter. Over the weekend, Johnny and Victor decided to give their marriage another try, which is a really good idea considering that Johnny once bit Victor and accused Victor of hitting him repeatedly. Johnny and Victor's marriage was messy, their break up was messy and so of course their reconcilation is going to be messy. TMZ got a hold of (read: Victor gave it to them) a list of rules that they each had to sign. Victor made Johnny promise that he'd apologize for trashing his ass in the media and wants Johnny's mom to keep her nose out of their marriage. Johnny made Victor sign his own list of rules and most of it has to do with peen passing. Scientology has less rules than Johnny and Victor's relationship.
– No wet humping on others
– No sucking other dicks
– No kissing or making out or putting tongue on others
– No sexting others
– No jacking off with others
– No flirting hard with others
– No Grindr and no flirting on social media
– No talking with an ex unless the other one approves it first
They also promised to get tested for STDs every 6 months and the results have to be read when both of them are in the room.
If a jaded and bitter friend who doesn't believe in long-lasting love asks you to show them a relationship that is built on trust and honesty, just show them this post, because Johnny and Victor are the epitome of trust. The hell kind of contract is that?! If you have to make your husband sign a contract stating that he's not going to suck other dicks, there's a good chance that when he sucks on another dick he's not going to give a fuck about that contract while he's doing it. Dreadful is the image of Johnny Weir dirtying up his Chanel leather pants when he gets on his knees to sniff Victor's dick for cheating juices. How many Birkins need to be brutally murdered before Johnny realizes this shit is probably not a good idea? How many Birkins, Johnny? How many Birkins?
UPDATE: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand these messes are broken up again. The Birkins are saved and they can suck the dicks of others once again.

Tips And Tricks On How To Take Better Photos
Many people find entering the world of photography to present a challenge when it comes to learning the do and do nots. Many people think that photography is something they should just figure out on their own, and they don't search out the resources available to them. In this article, you will learn things regarding photography that you didn't know existed.
Different locations and lighting situations call for varying shutter speeds to produce the best results. One of the beautiful things about photography is that it lets you freeze a split-second scene or fuse together extended periods of time. In general, fast shutter speed work best for action shots, whereas slow shutter speeds are ideal for shooting still-lifes, landscapes and other static images.
Employ digital post-processing to make photos appear as pencil sketches, water colors, oil paintings, and more. While there are a variety of software products available for purchase, Adobe Photoshop is listed as one of the best. Taking your photos and making them a piece of art, is as easy as clicking a button or two in these programs.
If you want your photos to look professional, invest in a professional camera. For a quality result, check into buying a dSLR camera. This is the type of camera most photographers use, and if you desire quality photos you will need this as well.
Good photographs are those that are kept simple. Often, you can create a magnificent photo without having to play with different color settings and motion settings.
An important factor in photography composition, is framing. If an object is distracting from the subject in your photo, remove it from the photograph. Zooming in is an effective way to accomplish this. Your subject should fill the frame to add the most impact to your photo, avoiding clutter.
A fantastic photography tip is to constantly look at other photographers for inspiration. By taking the time to view the art created by other photographers, you will be inspired and reminded of all the different ways a subject can be shown in one single shot.
Discrimination is a vital skill for a good photographer; when you are going to show off photos you've taken, present only your very best work. Don't show every picture you've ever shot, and don't show too many photos with the same theme or subject. Your audience can become bored with repetitive images or too many of them. Change things up regularly, and pick some unusual shots to show.
In photography, what you have inside of the frame sets off the overall composition of the image. You should zoom in on your main focal point to eliminate anything that takes away from your main subject. Your subject should fill the frame to add the most impact to your photo, avoiding clutter.
Find the subject that you want to photograph. You always need good subjects, it doesn't matter how talented you are or how good your gear is. Carefully choose objects that inspire you, or find a model who will pose for you.
Do not allow your camera batteries to run low because you never know when a photo opportunity will occur. Digital cameras can suck up a lot of battery power, the LCD screen has a lot to do with this, make sure you have your batteries fully charged. Another good idea is to carry a set of spare batteries for your camera with you so that you never miss a shot.
Pre-focus your camera and move slightly. Your subject will not be in the exact center of your picture. A centered subject is the norm and most people will not find it interesting or artistic. Take interesting pictures by making the subject off center.
If you don't know a model, try to make them feel as comfortable with you as possible. A lot of people look at someone taking pictures as a potential threat. Be friendly, strike up a conversation and ask permission to take pictures. Make sure that they see that you're practicing art, not invading their privacy.
Composition is an important skill you have to learn about and master when delving into photography. Like any other art form, if the composition in your photo is not right, the work will suffer. Learn how to implement quality composition into your photography, and you will notice a vast improvement.
There is no secret to becoming a good photographer. Experiment with the settings on your camera to see how they affect the photographs. With a digital camera, you don't have to keep all of your test shots; only keep the ones that you like and will look at again later. Gaining experience with photography will allow you to use hindsight to get a better view.
Make sure to read the camera's manual. Manuals frequently are large and awkward. In most homes, they will be tossed in a junk drawer or even thrown in the garbage. Instead of letting it gather dust, crack it open and give it a look. By taking the time to read the manual and familiarize yourself with your camera, you will eliminate frustration and take much better pictures.
Use limitation to help you become more creative. For example, pick a day to shoot only one kind of conceptual image, such as "sweet." Shoot around 100 different pictures in the same room, or from one certain point. These limitations can force you to think outside the box and create more unusual photos.
Frame every shot. You can utilize the environment around your subject to frame your snapshot in a unique and mood-evoking manner. Use the natural elements in the area to create a framing effect around your subject. This is good for practicing composition.
When taking landscape photos, every shot should contain three things. They include the foreground, midground, and background. These fundamentals are used for all different types of art.
Do all of your photo editing alone. Try one of the many software programs available for photo editing, and learn how to use it well. Find one that has a vast array of options to edit the photos you have taken already. Make sure to find a program that you can easily learn and use too!
When photographing, utilize a white balance that isn't automatic. You can control what your photographs look like, and convey various attitudes by altering the white balance on your camera. While it may take a while to find the ideal settings, adjusting the white balance manually offers a great deal of creative license.
Special filters are really extensions of your camera's lens. Most can be attached directly to the lens, where each one serves a different purpose. The most common filter is the UV filter. It offers protection to the lens from the direct sunlight which can be harmful. A filter can also help protect your camera lens if you accidently drop it.
To add interest to your photographs, experiment with your camera's focus. A lower f-stop means that the main subject will be shaply focused in contrast to a blurry background. In portrait photography, this is a valuable approach in getting the results that you desire. On the other hand, a higher f-stop number creates more depth; everything within the frame will appear in focus. This is idea for landscapes.
Use special care when you are taking pictures in nature. Take a few minutes to enjoy the scene, and make sure you do not leave any traces of your presence. You should be careful not to disturb the natural settings that you photograph in order to leave them for others to find.
Be creative and experiment with the speed of your camera's shutter. Most people use the fastest speed available to gain stills from action shots, but other speeds, like 1/30, can have interesting effects too. Do you see a person riding a bicycle nearby? The result will be that the cyclist is sharp and clear, while the background is horizontally streaked, creating a speeding effect.
Something should be in the foreground in your shot so that your image has more appeal. Including something simple, like a rock or a leaf, could add an additional view of the photo. It will help lead the viewers to see the entire frame and it will also help to empathize the main subject.
When you are taking landscape photos, mount your camera on a tripod. A tripod allows you to take clear, sharp photos that require a long exposure time without worrying about holding the camera steady. This ability will serve you well in taking great shots, particularly those that are of landscapes.
Optical zoom is what you should focus with instead of the digital zoom option. Lots of cameras allow you to zoom really close, but when your camera switches to digital zoom, the quality of the photo is going to suffer greatly. Digital mode shows these pixels in the picture that bring down the quality of the image. Consult your manual to learn how to disable digital zoom if you want to make sure image quality stays high.
Photos of people can be much more than just a photo of their face. The human body has plenty of other beautiful parts of which you can take pictures.
Keep your images balanced. By balancing all the different elements in your picture, you can take better pictures. Any distracting element should be cropped out. The horizon should always be level, and you should have your subject framed properly so it isn't placed awkwardly in the photo.
Cell phone cameras have increased in quality, but remember to be watchful for lighting issues. Most of the time, cameras in cell phones don't have any flash available, so you will need to make good use of your available light. Zooming in on your subject can also be helpful to avoid sunspots or shadows.
Don't be shy; get close to your photography target. Zooming, moving and cropping the image to best fit the frame you are using is recommended. Let the subject completely fill the frame if you like. Too much background, no matter how scenic, can detract from the focus of the image. With an up close shot of your main subject, details will be more crisp and attractive.
Have balance in your images. If you are careful to balance the elements in your photos, they will look good enough to frame. Be sure to remove any items in the image that might take away from your subject. Also, be sure to frame your subject in a way that makes sense with their surroundings.
A protective case for your camera and accessories is a must-have. A lot of times your camera can be damaged because you did not take care of it. You can find these cases at any electronics store that sells cameras.
It may seem like a simple concept, but the way in which you hold your camera can have a huge impact on your resulting photographs. If you do not hold the camera the correct way, you will not be able to stabilize it correctly, and your images may become distorted. Your arms need to stay close to the rest of you, and your camera lens should be receiving support from whatever hand you are non-dominant with.
Try to avoid cameras that use removable lithium batteries, especially for travel purposes. Airports have banned these loose batteries from luggage as they can easily overheat and cause a fire. However, if these batteries are already encased in your camera, they are allowed on board.
As you have previously learned, it can be hard for many to understand everything about photography. However, when people learn more about photographing, it can be very pleasant. If you use the tips in the article, you should be able to start taking excellent photographs in no time at all.
Crop your photos to make them look even better. Otherwise perfect images can be marred by even the smallest distracting objects within the frame. More commonly, a perfectly fine image may not be centered correctly. Simply fix the issue by cropping the photo.

After one year of creative hibernation, the man some have called Nigeria's finest lyricist, Vector is ready to offload!
The rapper celebrates his 30th birthday today, 7 August 2014 with the release of the very first song produced by Licious Crackit off his mixtape titled #A7.
"It's been a roller-coaster ride the past one year, learning, working, building growing," the rapper said today. "Today, as I turn 30, it's time to be thankful for the blessings of talent, for the love of fans and the goodwill of media and colleagues, and it's finally time to unload the work of the past one year!"
The song, Where is Vector? is inspired by a trending hashtag of the same name, driven by fans hungry for the talent of the artiste and connecting his own desire to tell his story to the world.
The mixtape will be released at an official launch event in Lagos, September. Vector begins a media tour and will be available for interviews from next week.

The city has welcomed Southern Baptists with beautiful harbor views, mild temps, and baseball – the Orioles are hosting two "Baptist nights" at Camden Yards.
We've also learned a few things about the city, like:
– Baltimore is the birthplace of Babe Ruth. The slugger never played here, but he's memorialized at the ballpark.
– Crab cakes come fried or broiled. (You can probably guess which is better.)
– Old Bay seasoning can be used to flavor coffee.

Let's take a look at what'cha been workin' on. . .
First up this week - Jennifer did an awesome job restyling this cabinet she picked up 'as is' from our studio! I'm always a fan of rich blue 'Starry Night' - and this piece is no exception! I love the lines of this piece too - and antique wax makes all the difference in the finish on this nice dark colour! It looks fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing Jennifer!!
Here is what the cabinet looked like 'before':
Actually! This is what the cabinet really looked like 'before', but Jennifer had vision enough to realize that the bottom portion of this hutch on it's own would perfectly fit her space. Fantastic!
Next up this week - Sebastian gave this ottoman a quick update by painting out the base in 'Patina', an ever popular colour from the van Gogh fossil paint line. It looks great with the existing fabric, such a soft beautiful colour! Thanks for sharing Sebastian!!
Here it is 'before' in black:
Last but not least, Helene and Lindsay restyled this kitchen table and gave it a whole new classic look. I love the combination of van Gogh fossil paint in 'Cashmere' and 'Mascara'. No 'before' picture to share on this set, but I love that the Mango Reclaimed bag is still on the table, lol!
Looks great ladies!! Thanks for sharing!
As always, thank YOU for sharing your projects with me - I love showing off all your hard work and creativity!

"We're not really taught how to recreate constructively. We need to do more than find diversions; we need to restore and expand ourselves. Our idea of relaxing is all too often to plop down in front of the television set and let its pandering idiocy liquefy our brains. Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the mind is like a car battery — it recharges by running."
— Bill Watterson (of Calvin and Hobbes fame)

< Petra Andren, CEO, Cicada Innovations
We've been talking about innovation for a while now. Its connection to jobs and growth. Its role in preventing Australia from being left behind in a rapidly changing global landscape.
And as a part of this national discussion, Innovation and Science Australia recently released its NISA Strategic Plan 2030. Its five imperatives and 30 recommendations were described as being key to bolstering Australia's future prosperity, and elevating its status as a "top-tier innovation nation" against a backdrop of hefty global competition.
The plan was mostly well-received and just a few months on from its release, it remains high on the government's agenda. But as the initial excitement now dies down, the time has come to ask a different set of questions.
What does implementation of these suggestions actually look like? What specific support is required to drive the commercialisation of science-based innovation, and who will provide it? Where and between whom should collaboration occur, and what are the channels that will deliver the greatest results? These questions become even more challenging when drilling down into the logistics.
An entirely new playing field
Agtech, medtech, pharma, renewables, and other science-backed areas of high-impact are the type of fields that will help to achieve the plan's lofty goals. But these industries are all time-, capital- and IP-intensive, and require highly specialist skills and support. They have complex, weighty operational requirements that span the entire production lifecycle from infancy to maturity. They are far from the quick-and-easy digital dotcom world of apps and marketplaces. They are not exactly conceptualized in someone's garage, nor developed overnight from behind a laptop. So, as these new drivers of innovation evolve, the spaces needed to support these new deep tech players must also progress concurrently. Enter, the deep tech "super incubator".
A changing model of support: The super features of a super incubator
In 2017, Cicada Innovations was named Australia's first and only super incubator by the international body, the International Business Innovation Association (InBIA). But what actually makes a deep tech super incubator so super?
Long term timeframe
On a basic level, all incubators are designed to help prepare high-potential, early-stage startups for growth via guidance, mentorship, infrastructure and funding. But super incubators do all of this on steroids. As an example, super incubators can offer up to five or even eight years of incubation in recognition of the longer product development timeline of deep technology innovations. Their long-term "create, validate, and incubate" model supports deep tech initiatives from product ideation through to commercialization and on to scaling into global markets. This is compared to the one or two years offered by regular incubators, who more closely resemble the churn-and-burn style of accelerator programs or co-working spaces. These are better placed to service low-risk, small-scale businesses with shorter investment horizons, and far quicker product to market.
Program-driven approach
The capital intensivity of deep tech incubatees also means that the stakes are much higher. This requires a greater emphasis on due diligence in the form of specialized induction programs designed to weed out issues prior to incubation, such as potential IP conflicts or a lack of proof of concept. An example of this is the Cicada Medical Device Commercialisation Training program (MDTCP), in which promising medtech innovators can enter with only their IP, and move to acceleration several months later. After a further few months, if all goes well, they may then go into the incubation phase with a fully commercialized business, ready to scale.
Academic partnerships
Partnerships with leading universities is another feature of a deep tech super incubator. As an example, the Cicada PhD Placement Program directly connects industry and academia by providing selected high-growth startups and scale-ups with PhD candidates. This gives incubatees access to highly specialized capabilities and skilled talent throughout their lifecycle, while unlocking our world-leading research and IP, and filling our skills gap.
Networks of skills, funding, and support
Rich mentoring networks also offer incubatees breadth and depth of expertise, from legal to academic, and foster a culture of support and ambition. They mimic the Silicon Valley-inspired pay-it-forward
culture by incentivizing graduates to go back and mentor their developing peers, exposing newer founders to more experienced founders and alumni in a way that linear, inorganic government-enforced mentoring models cannot. Deep tech super incubators also offer that all-important access to investors who recognize and accept the greater risks, longer investment timeframe, and higher capital requirements associated with deep
World-transforming outcomes
Finally, a key feature of deep tech super incubators is that the results tend to speak for themselves. The 700+ deep technology products Cicada has brought to market across 60 countries globally are testament to the crucial role that super incubators are already playing in bringing Australia's scientific capabilities to the world stage. In this sense, super incubators might be considered as a microcosm of the nation-wide innovation ecosystem envisioned in NISA 2030. It might even be argued that the viability of NISA 2030 actually depends on it.
Cicada Innovations is Australia's only deep technology "super incubator" home to 75+ startups and scale-ups in the medical, engineering, and IT sciences.
CEO, Petra Andren, will present at the AFR Innovation Summit – 30-31 July 2018 in Sydney.

If your car has been impounded and you don't have auto insurance, what are your options?
While a car can be impounded for myriad reasons, there's only one way to get it out: by paying an impound fee and presenting the required documentation. This documentation usually includes your driver's license, vehicle identification number (VIN), and proof of insurance. If you don't have valid insurance for your impounded vehicle, it will be difficult — if not impossible — to get your car out of impound.
It depends. You can get a ticket for driving without insurance, but it is within the police officer's discretion whether your vehicle will be towed and impounded. Outside of New Hampshire, you're required by law to carry at least the minimum liability insurance. By failing to do so, you risk having your vehicle towed and impounded.
Although your state may only mandate liability coverage, you may be required to carry comprehensive and collision coverage if you drive a leased vehicle.
You will need to show active proof of car insurance to get your vehicle out of impound. Car insurance is a requirement for any vehicle registered in a US state and used on public roads (outside of New Hampshire).
You'll need to show proof of insurance in order to get your vehicle out of impound — which means you'll need to purchase an auto insurance policy. Streamline the process of shopping for car insurance by having the following information at the ready:
If you're ready to get a quote for an impounded car online, enter your zip code below. We can help get you insured today!
After you've received your proof of insurance, call the impound lot and ask whether they accept digital proof-of-insurance. Otherwise, bring a hard copy of your new insurance cards. Your new insurance company can probably fax the information over to impound on your behalf, as well. Ensure the insurance documentation includes the following information:
For most insurance companies, this information will be listed on the ID card, but it's worth double-checking.

Recognizing Pipeline Locations
How do you know where pipelines are located?
- Most pipelines are located underground along right-of-ways.
- Pipelines use special markers to indicate their approximate locations, and these markers are commonly placed at road crossings.
Some of the common markers are illustrated below:
- Pipeline markers indicate that a buried pipeline is in the immediate vicinity of the marker but does NOT indicate burial depth, diameter, or pressure, which will vary.
Warning signs typically associated with the pipelines operated by the Gulf Coast Pipeline are illustrated below:

Canada Revenue Agency Modernizing Services
The Government of Canada is committed to making the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deliver the highest level of service to Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue, today announced the launch of the CRA's Service Renewal Initiative, which will improve the way Canadians engage with the Agency by streamlining processing activities and creating three new National Verification and Collections Centres (NVCCs).
Canadians are increasingly turning to the Internet to file their taxes. In 2016, approximately 16% of Canadians filed their tax returns on paper – about a 66% drop in just over ten years. The CRA needs to adapt to this reality in order to continue offering world-class services that are readily accessible to all Canadians.
Today's announcement will result in the CRA hiring more staff to provide service to Canadians, which will result in faster, more efficient processing and better handling of calls to call centres. The Government of Canada also recognizes the need to work closely with unions and local partners to assist those individuals – and their families – impacted by this transition.
The CRA's nine processing centres across the country (located in Surrey, Winnipeg, Sudbury, Jonquière, Shawinigan, Summerside, and St. John's, and the two specialized Ottawa sites—Ottawa Technology Centre and the International and Ottawa Tax Services Office) will be transitioned into seven specialized sites:
Four (Winnipeg, Sudbury, Jonquière, Summerside) will now specialize in processing and grow in size;
Three (Surrey, Shawinigan, St. John's) will be converted to NVCCs and will grow using Budget 2016 funding and funding reallocated from other sites; and
Some work from the two specialized processing sites in Ottawa will also gradually be consolidated to other sites across the country.
Making smart decisions and sound investments today allows us to create good paying jobs to meet the needs of Canadians in an ever-growing digital environment.
"Service Renewal will improve service delivery to Canadians, offer continued opportunity to employees and ensure a strong presence in all regions of the country. This will improve the CRA's effectiveness, and strengthen its ability to deliver on the Government of Canada's mandate and better serve Canadians."
– The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue

Denim on Denim...
Outfit Details-
Shirt: H&M
Jacket: LEVI's Outlet Store (throw elbow's wash)
Jeans: Topshop
Shoes: DSW Shoes
Watch: Nordstrom
Necklace: Lady on Point
Sunnies: Bancroft Clothing (local store)
Bag: Urban Outfitters
{Flowers: SF Farmers Market}
Couldn't decide if I wanted my hair up or down for these, so I did both! :) Happy Monday!! This past weekend I went to the SF Farmers Market AGAIN (this was my second weekend in a row). I think it's my dream to live in the city one day and walk down to the Farmers Market to get my weekly fresh produce. Let's see how that goes though, especially with SF being the most expensive place to live in the entire US.
This outfit has kind of a funny story. As you may have read from my previous post, I deep cleaned my room last weekend and when I was rummaging around all my drawers I found these long lost Topshop jeans that I have been frantically searching for. These used to be my favorite unripped jeans, until I lost them. But now they're back :) and of course it's like 80 degrees here in Berkeley now, so I probably won't be able to wear them for a little while. As for this jacket, my mom found it randomly around our house. She doesn't know where it came from, however my sister just got an identical one like this for $20 from the Levi's outlet store. So, let's just say it's from there LOL. And, well the shoes, you also know the back story behind these if you follow my Instagram. These shoes were meant for my friends birthday present, but when they showed up in the mail, I couldn't resist and had to keep them. SO… I ordered another pair and once she got them told her the story. {Another reason I kept them was because they are only $30!!} And last but not least, this Cluse watch I got practically for free. I entered a $50 Nordstrom gift card giveaway on Instagram and won! So when Nordstrom was having their big 40% off sale, I snagged it!
So there's the lowdown on how this dysfunctional outfit came to be. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy this hot weather for a change ;)
Thanks for stopping by,

Results In what it says respect to the attitudes of the pupils in this work, were possible to observe the qualitative participation of the same ones in the lesson of Mathematics. Participation that also included the cooperative work between pupils and these and the professor and the development and mathematical magnifying in the pupils of abilities and abilities, between them: the organization of data, the search for standards and regularidades, the generalization and the validation of the results. Consideraes final To teach one mathematical concept through a digital animation, pautando itself for principles that guide the TIC use (Technologies of Information and Communication) indicated didactic-pedagogical advantages of nature. Advantages that had been evidenced through the interest of the pupils in learning and of the learning environment that was conquered by the professor so that its work effectively was carried through. In general way, one perceived that the use of the digital animaes assisted the pupil to form and to extend mathematical concepts in a participativo process. On the other hand, the canonic paper of the professor to inform and to assist in the construction of the mathematical knowledge, into a traditional lesson, was transformed into mediator between the computer, who is responsible for a information, and the pupil, who leaves of being only one observer to ahead assume a reflexiva position of the information that the animaes for use in computers provide. Hummer Winblad Venture has similar goals. Therefore, this experience showed that it is possible to establish an environment positively differentiated for the teach-learning of mathematical concepts in the school.

After breakfast, we headed to the rice terraces about a 15 minute walk up the mountain. absoalutely stunning (again with the vague description I know! I'm terrible with words, I already told you!)
At noon, we left Longsheng and drove 4 hours (in I don't know which direction) and finally got to Yangshuo. The town was surrounded by small mountains that looked more like huge rocks. It didn't feel like China at all. More like what I presume South America to be (not that I've been…).
At night we saw a show on the water, surrounded by the same rock-like mountains. The show was light and fire based, and used the water and natural surroundings as props. Oh so cool and unfortunately I didn't take any photos because it was pouring rain, which honestly wasn't that, bad, because it just added to the whole experience.
After the show the four of us girls walked around our hotel; the streets were all lined with restaurants and coffee shops, little mango-smoothie shacks and jaozi shops. Even for such small town, everything is so lively and people are still out and about at night, just strolling to no end, for the simple pleasure of getting out of the house.


text: The color applications last time was really interesting how stacking colors can create an illusion of a different color at a distance. I think there's a real possibility in exploring this somewhat impressionistic style. It should not be the finish, the execution, but certain can inspire a lot of abstract visions ideal for concept art development.

Examining Your Liposuction RiskLiposuction: youve heard the horror stories, seen the results, and now, its time to make an educated decision. Is liposuction right for you? Many people choose liposuction to improve their appearance, and are quite happy with the results. Others do not consider liposuction because they feel that the liposuction risk out weighs the possible benefits. In order to make your own personal decision, you must first learn all about liposuction risk. How likely the complications and what are are they? Is death a possibility? Read on to find out all about liposuction risk. There are many complications and liposuction riskso many; in fact, that a lot of people dont consider having the procedure because they are afraid of what could go wrong. Firstly, infections, which could occur after any surgery, could possibly occur after liposuction. Your physician might prescribe an antibiotic to you if you choose to have liposuction, but not all doctors do this.
Complications and Risks
Another liposuction risk is embolism, which can occur when fat is loosened and enters the blood through broken blood vessels during liposuction. This can cause permanent disability or even be fatal in certain cases. Another possible liposuction risk is for the doctor to puncture or damage internal organs during liposuction, which can be fatal as well. Some patients experience increased sensitivity to pain in the area that was operated on, or numbness in the area. These changes in sensitivity can, in some cases, be permanent. If a fluid imbalance occurs after the surgery, it can lead to heart problems, excess fluid collecting in the lungs, or kidney problems. Many people also experience complications from the use of anesthesia.

I had some roasted vegetables from yesterday. The good thing about these is that you can eat them with virtually anything: pasta, grains or sandwiches can only benefit from a few strips of a freshly roasted sweet pepper or a yummy zucchini. I never tried roasted veggies on a crepe, so it was my mission for today. The result was so ridiculously delicious, that I might try it for lunch tomorrow!
Buckwheat Crepes Recipe, click here.
Roasted Veggies:
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- 1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- 6 asparagus stalks, edges trimmed
- 1 1-pound eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 medium zucchini cut into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Whisk vinegar and oil in a medium bowl. Stir in garlic and basil. Add salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss the vegetables in a bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Put the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast until tender and slightly brown around edges, about 35 minutes.
Additional ingredients:
2 cups alfalfa sprouts
1/4-1/2 cup sundried tomatoes in oil (just the tomatoes)
1/4 cup diced scallions
3-4 tbsp. pesto sauce
1/4 grated cheese (soy is ok)
Place the roasted veggies on top of a crepe. Put the sundried tomatoes on top. Use four sundried tomatoes per each crepe. Put the sprouts, the scallions and the cheese on top. Top off with a few tbsp. of pesto sauce.

If you've already earned your concealed carry license, congratulations! Point Blank has helped more than 7,200 gun owners reach that milestone so far, and we're adding to that list of responsible, well-prepared shooters every day. It's a milestone you can reach with the proper training and effort. And it's an achievement to be proud of.
But what comes next? Well, once you have your concealed carry license, you'll want to be sure you are comfortable with these new techniques and habits—on the unfortunate chance that they you need to put them to use in the real world. That means obtaining new levels of proficiency for most people—actually perfecting your skills in a potentially different environment.
Naturally that's another journey Point Blank has made with many shooters. At the center of it is our CCW Skills class, listed on our class calendar. It's a four-hour class focused on the finer points of your new reality. You've taken on a new responsibility; make sure you have the skills to go with it.
Let's look at some examples.
Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness is something everyone benefits from. It means understanding your surroundings and the impact of your actions anytime you're carrying your firearm. How will you develop your observational skills? It helps to hear from experienced firearm owners. Our instructors will illustrate and explain with their safe and attentive habits.
Drawing From a Holster
Adding a holster to your shooting routine is no small thing. Drawing effectively can make a huge difference in your ability to respond to a challenge effectively. While we can't do it on the range, there is a sure-fire cure for inexperience: practice, and quality instruction.
Magazine Handling
By the same token, loading your firearm on the go is also an entirely new challenge. We'll show you how and give you the opportunity to get better at it, with knowledgeable assistance.
Range Time
The class includes two hours of range time—because instruction and practice are equally important. And any new skill is really learned the same way: by training over and over, to turn good reflexes into muscle memory. You want your hands to know what to do as much as your head does.
It can't be stressed enough: there is no substitute for spending time on the range. The goal is clear: to become a skilled shooter who is comfortable using your firearm in any circumstance that requires it. And you can't reach that goal—or maintain it—without practice. Point Blank highly recommends its All-Access Pass. For a monthly fee, you receive a long list of benefits, including free range time, range reservations, store discounts, even free guests. It works at any Point Blank location and pays for itself after just two visits.
Our class description includes a list of the things you'll need—ammunition, magazines—and Point Blank can help you fill in any gaps. You can purchase anything you need on the day of your class.
Don't forget, there are lots of great ways to learn, including classes, private instruction, even communities like our Lady Sure Shots. Whatever your needs, Point Blank is anxious to welcome you to the community of responsible firearm owners and concealed carriers. Congratulations!

I wish this day had been mostly hustle...I'd feel pretty baller, then, not absolutely shattered. Our agenda for the day stood thus:
- E's baby group Christmas party 11:00-13:00
- Quick lunch @ home 13:00-13:30
- Last spat of Christmas shopping 13:30-14:30
- Call V for hair/make-up advice 14:30-15:00
- Chillax until the Husband called for a run
You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men, don't you? Well, suffice to say it goes something like this:
- 11:00-11:30 Start going to Christmas party in rain; realize it's a father walk than anticipated; realize we've lost a shoe; retrace the whole route home; find said shoe in the bedroom; cuss quietly so the baby doesn't repeat me; change wet jeans, replace shoe, & go to Christmas party late in the car.
- 11:30-13:00 Enjoy the Christmas party; watch E eat rather than decorate his gingerbread man; take pictures of him squirming to run away from Father Christmas and trying to return his present to Father Christmas...unwrapped.
- 13:00-13:45 Eat a quick lunch; watch some Small Potatoes; vacuum the unholy mess E made out a pumpkin muffin earlier; change his nappy & shirt (this is what happens when you give a 13-month-old a squeezable juice box...); head out to the shops
- 13:45-14:45 Pick up 70% of family gift circle gifts; try to keep E from breaking a glass vase in TK Maxx; try to keep him from shoplifting gift boxes at Claire's; realize why parents hate Christmas shopping. (Hint: it's not the shopping...)
- 14:45-15:15 Call V to give hair/make-up advice.
I'm now in the chillaxing phase of the day, and man do I feel like I've earned it! It makes me shudder to think that our Christmas shopping still isn't finished. I need to get one more component to a multi-piece gift for friends, the 4 presents for another family gift circle, and a set of little girl Duplo for the larger of the two family gift circles. When it was just me, or E was small enough to be in the Moby, I didn't mind. Right now I could stress-eat my way through a few boxes of Oreos.
Let's unwind with cute pictures from the Christmas party! (And let's also take back that line about relaxing: I forgot I have to make dinner for a friend who just got out of hospital! No rest for the wicked...)
|removing our paper crowns didn't take long.
|Santa has presents? Nope. Still don't want to see him.
|It's a book! (We're still working on those unwrapping skills)
|Right before he squeezed his juice box all over himself!
|Not sure how she feels about photos, but at least there's food.
|Looking a bit suspicious of his food.

This thoughtful, sentimental drama about a British air base and a neighboring town the effects of World War II on the people who live there. It was made in Britain just after the war and was well-received there, although US audiences mostly ignored its stateside release.
John Mills, who played the central character of Peter Penrose, would return in a top-10 Internet Archive Top 100 film in his next role. You can also see a couple of his earlier performances in Car of Dreams and Cottage to Let.

Expansion (bast) and contraction (qabd) are states of the heart. In Sufism, expansion describes when one feels proximity (qurb) to the divine, and thus enjoys a shower of blessings and grace from the divine presence. It also represents a state in which one feels their limitless love pouring forth into every existent thing in the cosmos. Contraction describes when one feels distance (bu'd) from the divine presence. In this state, sometimes one can feel that the contraction is some sort of punishment. But, in fact, contraction serves an important purpose on the path, because it is in the contraction of our hearts that we find the true medicine needed to heal what remains as an obstacle in our souls to our truest happiness.
Taken together, expansion and contraction work in harmony to produce the natural vibrations of the universe (spanda in Sanskrit), the natural beating of the physical heart, the vital rhythm of the breath, the fundamental essence of sound amongst many other things. Above all expansion and contraction are the rungs of the ladder one must climb in order to reach a state of utter stillness and stand in the splendid fullness of true reality.
Like a tuning fork that is struck and vibrates from side to side to produce sound only to dissolve into silence, expansion and contraction represent the creation of something that ultimately paves the path to one's return to absolute stillness. Without having ever been struck, the tuning fork only potentially creates sound. Once struck, the silence that reigns afterwards is one that is pregnant with actualization and not hollow and empty like the initial absence of sound.
Expansion and contraction are my favourite states to think about–there's so much to learn from them! If we understand the inherent beauty in the rhythm of expansion and contraction, we don't have to feel so bad when our lives follow their natural ebb and flow. We know it is all part of a greater pattern of harmony that lends itself to eventual stilling and absolute peace.
Exploring Expansion and Contraction
In your yoga practice today, explore every asana dynamically at first. See if, with every inhale, you can expand outwards and extend, and, with every exhale, you can ground down and deepen into the pose. In Anusara yoga speak, the inhale invites organic energy into your pose, while the exhale invites muscular energy. After 3-5 rounds of organic and muscular expansion and contraction, settle into stillness in your asana for a full 2 rounds of breath–experiencing the stillness as fully as you can–before moving on to your next pose. Tune your movement to your breath, and in your stillness tune into the beating of your heart before melting into utter silence, just being with yourself as you are in this very moment.
Notice how your body opens up more with dynamic movement and how the ensuing stillness is that much more strong and silent when it follows dynamic movement. Meditate on how the rhythm of expansion and contraction help you clear the way for utter presence. Meditate on how the ebb and flow of life can resolve itself in perfect self-fulfilment.
Any asana will work for this exercise. Here are a few suggestions:
- Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)
- Crescent lunge (Anjaneyasana)
- Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)
- Tree Pose (Vrksasana)
- Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
- Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
- Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana)
- Camel Pose (Ustrasana)
- Easy Pose (Sukhasana)
A few little updates: Thank you so much for being here with me, and I am particularly grateful to the beautiful souls who have graced my comments section with their wise insights and words of support. I am so utterly blessed to be sharing something I love so much with such a special group of people.
I am just about to graduate my Yoga certification program!! Being able to interact with you all here has been such a source of inspiration for me and has really helped me figure out how to shape my Sufi yoga journey. I recently bought the fourthchakrayoga.com domain and am now in the process of launching my business (hence some of the changes to my website, including my new Offerings page). I ordered business cards and everything! I am very excited about this new beginning, and I am so very happy to be able to share it with you, beloved readers and friends. I look forward to many more meaningful exchanges with you and I wish you all the joy and happiness in the world. Namaste and peace be upon you all.
Next on our journey is Renunciation, the third stage of the Sufi Path and initiation into a process of true self-reflection.
May you be filled with peace,
See my introduction to this series: The Sufi Journey through Yoga.

World Superbike championship leader Sylvain Guintoli struggled on the opening day of his teams home race at Imola, finishing the first qualifying session in seventh position.

Despite having dry weather conditions, Guintoli's set-up of his Aprilia used in Portimao wouldn't adapt to the Italian track, hindering the Frenchman on the opening day. He finished in fifth position in FP1 this morning, only 0.171 behind Sykes in fastest. However, the 31 year old struggled to keep up the pace in the first qualifying session of the weekend and only finished in seventh position setting a time of 1.14.878. However, there was only a gap of 0.660 between Guintoli and fastest man Sykes.
Guintoli, who has a 28 point lead in the championship standings revealed "In the two sessions today we worked a lot to try and find new solutions. It looks like we'll have to use a completely different setup than the one we used in Portimão because Imola is a very particular track, where being precise and managing the power of the RSV4 becomes fundamental. The weather helped us since it didn't rain and we have a lot of tests scheduled for tomorrow so we'll be ready for the races on Sunday".
Eugene Laverty similarly struggled at the Italian track, however it wasn't set-up that hindered his pace it was traffic on the track, which he encountered on three laps in a row on a fresh tyre.
The Irishman seemed to be off the pace in the first session of the weekend finishing in 12th position, 1.125s off Sykes' fastest time. This afternoon's session bought similarly frustrating conditions for Laverty, who was caught up in traffic on the 4.963m circuit, and the times on paper don't neccecarily portray his pace at his teams home track.
The Aprilia Racing team rider revealed "Today certainly wasn't a fantastic day for us. When I went out with a new tyre I ran into traffic three laps in a row, so fortunately what we see on paper today from the qualifiers is not our limit. I'm not disappointed, but a bit frustrated. I still need to shave a bit more off my times to be at the same level as Sykes and Rea who were quite fast today. I don't want to be dramatic about it, but we'll have a lot of work to do tomorrow".

I have to say this, Inkfog ungraded and for the better, I used it last year and I uninstalled. This year, I am extremely happy, simply because, it's easy to use, it syncs my orders to Shopify without me having to and it costs wayyyyyyyy less than another app, that I won't mention...... I don't leave reviews but when I do, it means something. Inkfog I'll give you an easy 5 stars.
Customer service is available on Sunday and they answer you back.
Gothic Fantasy Store
I was sceptical at first and waited 6 months to leave this review, I can honestly say this app is brilliant, my main use is to integrate with ebay.
So if i sell out on my online shop it will automatically put an item out of stock on Ebay.
which means no more heart stopping moments waking up to orders i cannot fulfil.
There are many other powerful tools with inkfrog iv not yet explored. However up-to now simply using it for stock control and ebay templates, its paid for itself many times over.
Oh and any support you need, first class!
taking into consideration we dont pay much in fees, they respond pretty quick. and they deal with idiotic questions very well, which is good for me LOL.
many thanks
The integration app no doubt works well but dont purchase the additional feature of designer template as you will be tired of selecting template to work but unable to save because of the error "invalid content detected" even no such thing exists in your template like any URLs/Contact etc. You pay for additional feature but unable to make your template. On my 6th day and counting ,,,, with email back and forth but no freaking solution at all.
Developer reply
Bopshu, I'm so sorry that your experience with us fell short of expectations. I also want to thank you for giving us a chance to make things right. I did follow up with our design team and they've let me know that a fix was released for the problem you had been experiencing with the template. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please let us know.
