Depression and other periods of sadness have many causes. You may not understand what it is about your life that is causing your depression, and finding a way to improve your symptoms can be difficult. The below article gives you some knowledge to assist you in knowing why you could be feeling depressed, as well as tips on how you can be a happier human being.
Do not allow depression to keep you from your normal work and social activities. You may not feel up to doing many things when you are feeling depressed, but it is important to maintain your friendships. It is very important to keep up with these things. Keep on doing the things you normally would. Avoiding them will likely only serve to make your feel more depressed.
If you are suffering from depression, consider getting a prescription for an antidepressant. You can begin feeling much better by taking the right antidepressant. Sometimes, it may take trial and error to find the right one.
While mere sadness differs from chemical depression, the techniques used to help you with each are similar. Do not let these triggers get in your way. If there are certain people or things that cause distress, you should try to avoid them.
Depression that is caused by a chemical imbalance will require medication to improve your condition. Do not even say the word depressed. It is a very negative word to explain what you are feeling, and can lead you to have more negative thoughts. Replace it with phrases like "low mood" and "not feeling well" to express those feelings, and a more positive worldview is imminent.
You need to realize that you're not going crazy. Depression is an illness that is just as treatable as any physical disease. This is just your body's way of informing you that there is an issue. It could be a simple chemical imbalance, or possible emotions that have yet to be resolved. Listen to your body and get it the help it needs.
A medical professional should be involved in helping you overcome depression, whether the condition is clinical or not. They will assess your situation and determine if medication will help. It is important that they describe to you symptoms of your particular type of depression.
If you are just starting to feel a little down because of something in your life, you may not have depression. Try to discuss your condition with a professional to understand what you have.
Listening to some relaxing music can really help, and playing music is even better. The same holds true for all of the arts, being involved in them, even if you aren't that good, can be a great way to deal with hard times.
Fresh Flowers
Beautiful fresh flowers, cut from your garden or purchased from the store, can be very effective in lightening your mood. Flowers have evolved so that they can bring pleasure to humans and life forms with their smell and color. Use this tip to your advantage and display some fresh flowers.
Should your physician prescribe antidepressants for your depression, always follow the medication guidelines. Never take more of the medication than prescribed by your doctor, and don't come off it unless told to do so, otherwise it can really harm you. When the time comes to finish your course of medication, your doctor may wish to taper you off.
As said previously, there are many reasons why people could develop depression. Applying the tips from this article can really help you to understand and ease your symptoms of depression, so that you can begin feeling more like yourself again.

It has been a hard slog but now the house is finally sold, or officially anyway. It's taken some time to get to this stage and if I've learnt anything, it's that location, location, location matters. It's not that there is anything wrong with my home of 28 years or not in my eyes anyway but, it does have its problems.
Main road, little garden and being a cottage, low ceilings and many steps here and there. It has been called novel, a place of character and many other things with most being complimentary. The down side. Traffic noise and not only to the front, the little garden also. I call my garden area Bonsai because it's so small.
Now the above is behind and I can look forward to a new future. Homeless of sorts for a while, but with so many new challenges ahead. Early retirement, ten years early in fact. A new country soon. A new language, new friends to make and best of all, a place in the future that will be quite and tranquil. Yes that is a must. Before then though, there is the actual move to be arranged and that starts with vacating my beloved home of so long.

Ricky Moore
Centennial's football team opened practice Monday morning at 8 a.m.
One thing that wasn't a factor as upperclassmen went through workouts in helmets and shorts was the weather. The overcast clouds kept things cool.
The Spartans are slated to scrimmage Waco High Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. and open the season at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 31 at Corsicana. Centennial's first home game is at 7:30 p.m. against Denison at BISD Stadium.

ADDIS ABABA – Ethiopia will open its logistics sector to foreign investors but cap their participation, the state investment body said on Tuesday in the latest reform to loosen the government's control of the economy.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has presided over a shake-up of one of the most heavily-regulated economies in Africa since his appointment in April.
The latest move by the Ethiopian Investment Board – a body headed by Abiy and comprised of several ministers and the central bank governor – lifted restrictions on foreign investment in packaging, forwarding and shipping agency services.
Those sectors were previously reserved exclusively to Ethiopian nationals. Foreign firms will now be allowed to take stakes of up to 49 percent in logistics businesses.
The Ethiopian Investment Commission, a government body that handles investment issues such as licensing and promotion, said opening up this sector to foreign investors had become necessary.
This will "improve the provision of high-end logistics services while local firms acquire world class knowledge, expertise, management, and systems by working jointly with globally reputed logistics providers," it said in a statement.
The ruling EPRDF coalition, in power since 1991, has long supported deep state involvement. But it said earlier this year that Ethiopia needed economic reforms to sustain rapid growth and boost exports amid a severe hard currency shortage.
Abiy, 42, was appointed by the EPRDF after his predecessor, Hailemariam Desalegn, resigned in February after three years of unrest in which hundreds of people were killed by security forces.

There was something like this happening in pyramids Dorian was rendering, and believe Matt had some fix (but not sure).
This issue is NOT related to rendering out sequences.
In my tests I tried sequences and single frame rendering.
Using the scene file bigben posted frames 1,2 and 3 are always dark (on my machine).
Frame 4 is the first which renders correctly here.
Hopefully the fix gets this.
cheers, Klaus

The Bible strongly condemns s*xual immorality and even says it's the only sin one commits against his or her own body. Unfortunately, it's one of the most rampant sins in today's church. From married pastors having extramarital affairs to church leaders getting involved in multiple s*xual relationships with parishioners, we've heard it all.
The latest to hit headlines is the case of Apostle Johnson Suleman. His name is all over social media over claims that he's in an adulterous affair with Stephanie Otobo, a 23-year-old musician based in Canada. Suleman, founder and General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, isn't happy with the talk about his relationship with the singer and has gone as far as prohibiting his church members from publicly talking about it.
The church's Directorate of Media sent out a statement, saying the commentaries have outlived their relevance. Therefore, the department has warned church members against letting themselves be drawn to the talk.
"It has become imperative that we advise all Omega Children and Christians Worldwide to put an end to the ongoing media war that we have engaged in," read the statement accessed by PREMIUM TIMES.
"Every wise person would know that this is not a battle of humans but one between the Kingdom of God and that of darkness. Therefore, nobody is permitted further to issue a statement or comment on the matter. All Facebook Live Videos on the issue should also stop forthwith."
The Directorate of Media further advised in the statement that the church should focus on more important and relevant matters of God's Kingdom.
"We are well aware [where] all these are coming from and we will deal with it spiritually," continued the statement. The department sent out the statement even as a second lady by the name Queen Esther claimed on Sunday that she had a s*xual relationship with Suleman, popularly known as Apostle Suleman.
For about a week, Apostle Suleman and the Canada-based singer traded accusations and counterclaims over a s*xual relationship gone sour, coercion into an abortion of pregnancy, and breach of a promise to marry.
Clearly, such things shouldn't be coming up against a man of God. Sadly, the fear of God is no longer in many of today's pastors. Most of them are deliberately using the name of God for personal gratification, wealth creation and for gaining s*xual favors.
Church members should wake up and stand up against these evil leaders. You shouldn't fear to to question your pastor's actions as long as you're doing so in good faith and to uphold the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mirinda Carfrae wins second Kona victory with a new course record, Joyce and Blatchford take second and third
Australia's Mirinda Carfrae stormed to a second Ironman World Championship title with a stunning performance that set new run and overall records in Kona.
Haley Chura (USA) led out the swim in 53:55, a string of favourites piling into T1 behind her including Jodie Swallow (GBR), Leanda Cave (GBR), Meredith Kessler (USA), Amanda Stevens (USA), Rachel Joyce (GBR) and Caroline Steffen (SUI).
Kessler pushed hard for much of the bike course, the pace eventually becoming too much for all but Joyce, Swallow and Michelle Vesterby (DNK) to follow. Behind them, Carfrae was riding well after her 58:50 swim to limit her losses against the strongest cyclists.
Kessler led the front quartet into T2, but it was Joyce who was soon leading the race on the marathon. The Brit set a fiery pace to escape the rest of the field and overtook Kessler at around four miles while Swallow and Vesterby were followed into transition just under two-minutes later by Liz Blatchford (GBR) and Steffen, the former having to serve a four-minute penalty before she could put trainers to Tarmac.
Defending champion Cave was another minute back, but faded out of contention on the run while Yvonne Van Vlerken (NED) dismounted a little way in front of Carfrae, who hit transition in 11th place with nearly eight minutes to make up after a solid 4:58:20 bike.
Joyce looked powerful on the run, but Carfrae's speed was astonishing – her pace high enough to break the course record if she could maintain it throughout. The Brit's bravery was acknowledged by Carfrae with a pat on the back as she overtook at high speed around 15 miles in.
Behind the leaders, Kessler was passed by Van Vlerken and Blatchford. The Dutchwoman managed to shake the Brit before succumbing to cramps that enabled the first-time Kona racer to run into third place.
The podium was set, but there was plenty of action still to come as Carfrae bore down on Chrissie Wellington's 2009 course record. Running at a relentless pace, there was time only to grab an Aussie flag as she pelted down the finishing chute to clinch victory in 8:52:14, one minute 48 seconds faster than Wellington's record.
Just as impressive was Carfrae's unrelenting 2:50:35 marathon, beating her own 2011 record of 2:52:09 and running faster than all but two of the male professionals.
Joyce added a second place finish to her previous sixth, fifth and fourth places, crossing the line in 8:57:28. Blatchford was the second Brit on the podium, finishing in 9:03:35.
Van Vlerken held on for fourth in 9:04:34 with Caroline Steffen claiming fifth in 9:09:09.
As with Pete Jacobs in the men's race, defending champion Leanda Cave finished well out of contention in 12th place while Swallow and Mary Beth Ellis (USA) both pulled out on the run.

Draft 1!!!!!!!!!
I just finished a very rough first draft of the new book! I'm ecstatic. I know I still have a lot of work left to do on it, but it is such a great feeling to know that most of the story is there. I even have an ending, and I don't hate it. Amazing.
Yup. I'm that excited.
Most of my focus is now going to be on revising. Two books at two very different stages in the writing process. I also have a play idea that needs my attention, and I have a few other creative projects coming up. It's nice to be in the creating groove again.
Dusting Off The Cobwebs
I've written four books. With the first two I was in a hurry to get them out into the world and self-published immediately. Of course, once they were out there for all to see, I started finding things in them that I wanted to change. The more I learned about writing, the more I wished I had not put them out there so soon. I pulled them from the internet and set them aside to revise later.
With each book I feel that my writing has improved. There is always room for more improvement, but I am starting to see my writing style develop. The book I'm working on now (#5) is probably the most honest writing I have done yet, and I am very excited about it. Still, I won't be publishing it any time soon. It still needs a lot of work.
The other day I stumbled onto Book 4. It had been my favorite before I started the new book, and I almost jumped into self-publishing it as soon as I had finished. I didn't do it, though. I waited. I approached a few literary agents and tried to do the standard publishing thing, but I didn't push it. Something told me to wait. I started other projects and forgot about it.
I was nervous to read it again. I remembered being proud of my work, and I didn't want to read it now and feel disappointed. I'm my own worst critic and rarely feel good about my work, so I knew it might not go well. I started reading it, and I was pleasantly surprised. It needs a little tweaking here and there, but I still like it. I've added it to my project list, and other than the new book, it has become my focus right now. The revising is minimal, and my writing style is definitely present. I'm excited.
The plan right now is to finish revising it and approach a few small publishers. If that doesn't pan out, I will self-publish this one and market it myself. It's the first book that I have had a specific marketing strategy for, and I feel good enough about it to put in the effort needed to get it out into the world.
Stay tuned...

Rihanna Denies Rumors she Snorts Cocaine
Rihanna has recently been making headlines for something other than her music.
A vine video of Rihanna allegedly snorting cocaine has surfaced the Internet leaving many to wonder whether the self proclaimed bad gal uses substances other than marijuana.
In the video that was initially posted by social media user fly.xhuksta, Rihanna is seen holding a slim white object and then holding onto her nose for a few seconds while hanging out with her friends at Coachella.
Social media users immediately flocked to Twitter and Instagram to accuse RiRi of using cocaine.
Rihanna later commented on the vine video and slammed fly.xhuksta with a nasty message that reads, "N---- your lame ass got some f------ nerve!!! Any fool could see that's a joint that I'm basing with cigarette! Who snorts tobacco??!! FOH witcho 'never been to a rodeo so someone squeezing their nose means they're doing coke' lookin ass!!"
After clarifying what she was actually doing in the vine clip, Rihanna later posted another Instagram video from the same setting as the Vine video which shows a clearer image of her rolling a joint.
Check out Rihanna's Instagram video here:
We're glad Rihanna was able to clear up the rumors. Hopefully this can be a lesson for all.
Be careful what you post and film!

Wallpaper. Just the word makes me cringe. Why anyone would pick the ugliest pattern in existence, have it printed on vinyl and then glue it to a perfectly good wall is beyond me. I'm also still trying to figure out why I coerced myself into purchasing a home that had even a single wall covered in the stuff. I'm even more confused as to how I ended up with a home that had 2 bathrooms, the master bed room and the dining room all wallpapered. The dining room had 2 layers, just for good measure. Yippy.
That being said, the wall paper, while ugly, was not in bad condition. While I always planned on removing it in each of the aforementioned rooms, I had no plans to do it as soon as we moved into the house. DH had a different idea. Have you ever heard the saying "Silence is golden, unless you have
children a husband, and then silence is suspicious?" Yep. It is true. He disappeared while I was in the kitchen one day. It took me a minute to notice I had been abandoned, but it must have been urgent because he doesn't trust me being alone in the kitchen often (cuts, burns, broken glass, I'm a klutz).
I'm standing in the kitchen being wary of the lack of sound when, out of the silence, I hear a loud tear, almost a ripping sound (not a bodily function kind), coming from the bathroom. I panic. I know that sound, even though I have never heard it before, my deductive senses tell me it can only be one thing…my DH ripping off a sheet of wallpaper. He must have been really bored sitting there. I can only imagine he saw one small edge where 2 sheets of wallpaper met and, with giddy energy, decided to destroy that hideous wall covering in one fell swoop.
He failed to inspect the wallpaper prior to fervent unplanned removal and he started a war in our house. A war between me and the wallpaper. A war I was not ready to fight. A war I almost lost on numerous occasions.
When he emerged from the bathroom, he was laughing. He knew what was going to happen. I could not stand to see the wall with one sheet of wallpaper removed, a glaring hole in the pattern of the wallpaper, a massive inconsistency causing my epic need for all things to be correct, organized and clean to come forward with the force of a derecho. The rest of the wallpaper now had to be removed. As in, right now. It was a battle from the start. I did not really do much research, and I remember very little about the actual wallpaper removal from that bathroom, only that it was horrible and time consuming. I can only compare it to how women describe child birth. It is painful, but your body learns to forget the pain. I do remember that I tried chemical removers (didn't work), hot water and fabric softener in a spray bottle (Didn't work) and when all else failed, sandpaper.
I just want to be clear, it is not the actual wallpaper that was the issue. If you look at the picture above, you can see a piece of the wallpaper hanging off the wall behind the toilet. This "wallpaper" was actually extremely heavy vinyl sheeting that was glued to the walls. It was very easy to pull down because it didn't tear. The problem with this type of wallpaper is that it requires a different type of glue than paper wallpaper and that glue is like cement. When I mentioned chemical removers and fabric softener with water, I was trying to re hydrate the glue so it could be scraped off. I don't know what chemist created this glue, but I have some choice words I would like to say to them.
In the end, I could not get all the glue off. Oh, and I couldn't get the wallpaper out from behind the toilet, so while DH was at work one day, I taught myself how to disassemble a toilet tank and removed it, giving me access to remove the paper. That area of the wall was particularly saturated with glue.
I struggled with the glue and gouged the wall in quite a few places. Drywall compound became my best friend, and that 3″ scraper was the BEST $4 I spent, hands down. So after I got *most* of the glue off, I spackled, sanded and then it was time to paint! Somehow I convinced DH to do the cut in on the paint. I probably got away with that because I reminded him that he was the reason we were doing this. Either way, it worked.
It felt so rewarding to see the paint going up on the walls, but remember what I said about the glue behind the toilet? Yeah, it was a pain, and since I was sooooo impatient to get paint on the walls, I broke the cardinal rule of painting, and painted what I could, and then went back and finished painting behind the toilet after I tackled the glue a bit more.
Would you believe me when I said that, despite the headache of doing this, it made me want to remove ALL the wallpaper in the house sooner rather than later as originally planned? It is weird how things work out that way. This was the beginning of one of my biggest mistakes in home renovation – starting multiple projects and not completing them.
Once we finished painting the bathroom, DH and I agreed that the builders grade vanity was just not working for us, so we decided to purchase a new vanity and sink for the powder room as well. We didn't take into account when we bought the new vanity that the water lines would come out of the wall on the right side of the sink…where the drawers were. Thus began the long and arduous process of removing the guts of the vanity and rebuilding it so it would work. "Why not just take it back and shop for a new one?" you ask? Because we only had 18″ from wall to door frame for the depth of the vanity, and I will save you a google search – they are not easy to find.
It was painful, but here is the semi finished product. I am planning on building a pipe shelf to put over the toilet which will hold the hand towel, and adding crown moulding (don't get me started on that), but for the time being, my antique star and our funky octopus will be just fine.

Listed below you will find a couple of examples of Emotional Intelligence workshops.
Presenter: Mark Sundby, M.Div., Ph.D., LP
How you manage your emotions and relate to others has major implications for your role as a leader! This workshop will equip you to examine your own leadership style through the lens of emotional intelligence on four key dimensions: authenticity, coaching, insights, and innovation. You will take the EQi 2.0 Leadership Inventory in advance, receive your results during the workshop, and learn how to apply them for ongoing personal and professional growth.
What's more predictive of effectiveness in the workplace than your academic training, administrative acumen, or native intelligence? Whatever the occupation, research consistently points to emotional intelligence – the ability to manage your emotions and to relate effectively to others. In ministry, given its highly interpersonal focus, it's especially true. This workshop will give you a clear understanding of how emotional intelligence relates to ministry in specific ways. It will also offer you a chance to measure your emotional intelligence through a standardized psychological test, the EQi 2.0 Leadership Inventory, identify areas for development, and provide practical suggestions for improvement.
Interested? Contact us for more information.

Do you need a lawyer right away? In this article, we will help you learn the steps necessary to finding and hiring a good lawyer. Read on to find out what you need to know when picking the right lawyer for your case.
Do not hire a lawyer without doing some background research. Look their name up on the Internet and talk to friends or relatives who might know the lawyer you are interested in. It is always in your best interest to choose a lawyer with an excellent reputation and good ethics.
A lawyer who specializes in a specific issue will be an advantage for you. Specialized lawyers can be more expensive but these lawyers have extensive experience with cases like yours. You should avoid lawyers who spend most of their revenue on promoting their services and rely on their good reputation and results instead.
Make sure the lawyer you are hiring is suited for your needs. Like medical professionals, lawyers can be general practitioners or dedicated specialists. Know what general legal area your case is in, and narrow your search for a lawyer within that specialization to find someone with focused training and experience.
Before you hire a lawyer, see if you can resolve any dispute without one. Often people are able to resolve their problems without having to find a lawyer. If you are not able to solve your problem without a lawyer, then it is in your best interest to have a lawyer on your side.
You should make sure you have a solid case before attacking someone in court. Keep in mind that some lawyers only have their own interest in mind and will advise you to go to court regardless of how solid your case is. Present your case to different professionals and do some research on your own before you go to court.
Make a note of how long it takes a lawyer to schedule your first meeting. If it takes weeks to even see the lawyer for the first time, the lawyer may be too busy to give you proper service. You want a lawyer who puts you high on his list of priorities.
Everyone wants to find the best legal representation for the best price. However, remember that many times you get what you pay for and you surely want the best outcome of your case. Do some research about the reputation of several different lawyers as well as asking acquaintances for personal recommendations.
Meet and interview a few lawyers before you hire one. Talking to each personally can give you a chance to see if you have good rapport. It is also a good opportunity to ask them key questions that will help you make an informed decision. Many attorneys are willing to have a thirty minute meeting with you at no charge.
I want a big name lawyer! I want them to scare the judge! Just like in everyday life, wants are great, but needs are more important. You have to make a list of your needs and choose a lawyer based on that list, not all the wants you have in your heart.
If your family member has died while working, you might be able to get compensation for this. Worker's compensation is not only for the worker, but for the immediate family as well. Your lawyer can help to eliminate confusion as to the necessary steps and forms that need to be filled out.
Because you now understand more about how to select a lawyer, you should be better able to select a good one. Apply these tips, and you should have no problem. Now go out there and hire a lawyer you can be happy with.

text: Share: Comments Print May 1, 2009 at 9:11 AM Huskies to drop swimming programs Posted by Jon Fisch It has been hinted that the Huskies would have to make some cutbacks in their athletic department for the same budgetary reasons impacting everyone else, and an announcement has come today that UW will drop its men's and women's swimming programs effective immediately. Here is the official release from GoHuskies.com. UW AD Scott Woodward had told the Times said earlier this week that "everything was on the table" including the possibility of program closures. The official release states that the decision reduces the number of intercollegiate sports sponsored at the UW to 21, which ranks among the top half among schools in the Pacific-10 Conference. It is expected to have a budget impact of up to $1.2 million, which would account for roughly 43 percent of the $2.8 million in expense reductions the department is currently facing. Like every other educational institution in the state, UW found out this week exactly how much money it had to cut after the approval of the state budget. Former AD Barbara Hedges announced she was cutting swimming in the summer of 2000 before deciding to hang onto it in the face of an outpouring of support for the program. UW is one of at least three Pac-10 schools to announce this year it is cutting sports — Stanford and Arizona State have also made cuts. As Woodward also said earlier this week, the UW athletic department is likely to have to make layoffs in the next few weeks, as well. The department runs on a July 1-June 30 fiscal year budget so layoffs and cuts have to be in place by then. Comments

Homeowner's associations provide significant benefits to the members of the community. The association may provide community amenities, such as pools, recreation or workout facilities, and event or gathering space. Moreover, the association likely has rules and regulations that govern the appearance of homes within the community. These regulations help to protect home values throughout the community.
What are the governing documents for homeowner's associations?
When a buyer purchases a home within an HOA or COA, they agree to be bound by the authority of the association as set forth in the governing documents called the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions or CC&R. Based on the authority provided in these documents, the association establishes other bylaws or rules for the community. Both the CC&R and any Bylaws are available to prospective homebuyer's prior to purchasing a property within the community. Because these documents are available to potential buyers and the covenants run with the land, a homeowner is bound by these restrictions regardless of their specific knowledge of the restrictions.
Contact Me
What services do you offer to Homeowner's Associations?
I provide all forms of guidance to homeowner's associations on legal issues related to the association. Homeowner's associations are run by members of the community who have jobs and other obligations and often do not have legal training or experience, many HOA boards do not have the time to review and understand all the terms of the Declaration or bylaws. Therefore, it may be beneficial for the association to hire an attorney to review the documents prior to making any major decisions that affect the community. If you have residents that are violating the rules of the association by using unauthorized paint colors or building sheds on their properties, it is important that you take quick action to address these issues as your failure to act can result in the inability to later enforce those restrictions. Finally, it is important Associations are careful to follow the rules related to meetings, notices to homeowners, and other procedural issues as failure to follow these rules can lead to expensive and time-consuming litigation.
What services do you offer to Homeowner's who live in Homeowner's Associations?
Homeowners may have questions about the powers of the association or the restrictions on their property. The CC&R and Bylaws are often lengthy documents filled with legal jargon. Therefore, having an experienced attorney review those documents can help you to better understand your options. Moreover, if you are being sued by the association for violations of the covenants, having an attorney who has experience defending against such actions will allow you to fully protect your rights as a homeowner within the community.

This was the outbound leg of an open jaw Hong Kong – Japan award ticket booked several months in advance for 35,000 ANA Mileage Club miles and 7,540 yen ($544).
This was operated by a Boeing 737-700 (JA03AN). The business class cabin had eight seats in a 2-2 configuration. The seat was quite an old fashioned-looking one with some recline. A large pillow, blanket and slippers were at the seat upon boarding.
The lack of inflight entertainment was pretty below par for a business class flight of this duration. Given ANA's Star Wars branding on some aircraft, I did find the inclusion of the Millennium Falcon in their fleet list in the inflight magazine to be cute.
The magazine map omitted the English name for Nagoya for some reason (unlike all other destinations), so figuring out exactly where the flight was going kept me entertained for longer than it normally would.
There was only one other passenger in the business class cabin. We took off about forty minutes after the scheduled departure time due to air traffic congestion around Hong Kong and had a perfect, smooth flight. We touched down in Nagoya just three minutes behind schedule.
There were two cabin crew in the forward part of the plane but as the business class cabin was quiet most of the service came from one who seemed to be from Hong Kong. The service started with drinks and assorted snacks, which I always find to be tasty on ANA though miss when they offered Cratz, and proceeded onto lunch.
There was an inches-long stain on my napkin, which I would not expect on a Japanese airline in any class.
Food and Drink
The menu and drinks list was at the seat upon boarding and read as follows.
I chose the western meal partly because the whelk on the Japanese menu put me off, but actually I felt afterwards that I should have plumped for the Japanese menu as it would surely be delicious. In any case, the western main though unadventurous was tasty and well-executed.
This is a pretty underwhelming aircraft experience, so if you want a more up to date one on ANA from Hong Kong it may be better to fly to Tokyo or Osaka (reviewed in the other direction here). The food and drinks were good and the cabin crew although not the best I have had on ANA were up to the job.

Meredith Stevens Miss Bongo Avis
Meredith Stevens, VP of Digital Design for Miss Bongo, is based in Bondi Beach, Australia and Santa Monica, California. She has led her company to become a powerful force in the premium SMS market. Ms. Stevens grew up in Australia and studied art and graphic design in college. Her unique artistic skills combined with her technical knowledge to make the texting service popular and easy to use.
The service is promoted in the youth market, though customers of all ages enjoy using it. The service is activated when a user sends a message with his or her name and city. The service replies with a charming digital sticker and a "gossip" message about the user's life. Customers enjoy collecting Miss Bongo's personalized digital stickers or "perso." Customers are often amazed at how much detail the service knows about their lives. The service relies on a large social database to produce this information.
The SMS service is popular in France, Australia, and the UK, among other countries. Its market has expanded over time thanks to word of mouth and advertising. New features that hold the market's attention include animated stickers and custom emojis.
Meredith Stevens is a world traveler who speaks French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Mastering these languages gives her an easy way to communicate with the company's staff around the world. Ms. Stevens is a surfer and kayaker. She also enjoys yoga. Ms. Stevens is a vital part of Miss Bongo's success in today's premium SMS market.
How did you become interested in the SMS market?
Premium SMS services are a lucrative market. When we were starting the company, we realized that there were not many premium SMS services directed at young people. We decided that the youth market would be our first focus. We did our best to make our service engaging and fun to use.
Did you create the character, and if so, what was your inspiration?
Our company was already engaged with Ask Bongo, a similar service with a mischievous monkey as its mascot. I decided that we could put a different spin on the service by creating a female mascot. The female mascot of Miss Bongo Prix gave us the opportunity to target the service toward women and girls.
How do you increase your company's reach in the market?
We rely on viral marketing for most of our business. When one customer is thrilled with our work, he or she tells another potential customer. Miss Bongo Avis is fun for friends to share together. We also do a lot of promotion in online ads and on social media. Our social media pages show off our quirky sense of humor.
Tell me about your typical day.
I like to get up early and take a yoga class. Yoga centers me and helps me deal with the stress of daily life. It is also an excellent way to keep my body in shape. After yoga, I go into the office and meet with my digital design staff. We compare notes and coordinate our activities for the day.
I spend several hours designing new graphics. I work closely with the other departments in our company, coordinating our overall message. I am often interrupted during this time. This can be frustrating. I am working to find a way to minimize interruptions in my workday.
I keep an eye on the surf conditions daily. I try to surf once a week. I love living right on the beach; it makes everything so convenient. Normally, I have dinner after work and spend quiet evenings at home. I also like to go out with friends and experience new restaurants.
What are some of the habits that make you a successful businesswoman?
Discipline is a crucial part of success. If you don't have the will to follow a task through to its conclusion, you won't be successful. No one will force you to do your best work. You need internal motivation. Too many business startups fail due to a lack of discipline.
Is there anything you would do differently if you had the chance?
I would have taken more computer science courses in college. Learning to code would have helped me advance in my field.
Do you consider yourself a success?
I do. I have a rewarding job that keeps me busy and engaged. I earn a steady living, and I have been able to make investments in my future. I hope that our business will continue to grow over time and reach a larger market.

Giving this dog a bath is a HUGE headache. First, there's trying to tempt him out of his hiding place beneath the bed. Then there's actually getting him in the bathroom, much less the tub (an ordeal that requires lifting a fifty-pound dog who's kicking the entire way). And then there's the post-bath shake-and-rub, in which every room in our house gets drenched.

The Terry Costa Catwalk Competition gets more exciting every year
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 14, 2012
Metroplex Fashion Landmark Terry Costa is pleased to announce their 3rd Annual Teen Board Homecoming Fashion Show and Catwalk Competition; a wonderful opportunity for student fashion designers to show off their designs in prom dresses and formal wear focused on Prom 2014! The presentation of the contestants will be the highlight of the Fall 2012 Teen Board Homecoming Fashion Show. Contestants' designs are evaluated based on a popular vote on Facebook, in-store secret ballots, and the votes of a panel of industry judges.
The winning designer will spend a day with celebrity designer Tony Bowls. The winner will also spend a day with the Terry Costa Buyers at the Dallas Apparel Market and will also receive a $1,000 scholarship courtesy of Terry Costa.
Last year's winner- University of North Texas fashion design senior Lauren Perdue- just debuted her first solo collection at Austin Fashion Week, and 2010's winner Grant Mower has made several appearances in local and national media, including the Nate Show, the Dallas Morning News, the Huffington Post, and D Magazine after winning the contest at just 12 years old.
"The Terry Costa Catwalk Competition gets more exciting every year," said CEO Tina Loyd. "Both the fame of Grant Mower and the enthusiasm that Lauren Perdue and Tony Bowls shared over fashion was extremely promising for our future designers here in the United States."
Located in Dallas at the southwest corner of Preston and 635, Terry Costa has been dressing the women of Dallas-Fort Worth for 26 years. Open 7 days a week, Terry Costa carries everything from Quincenera dresses to pageant gowns, bridal to prom.

Jason Tali proved to be an invaluable asset throughout the 2018 season showing his power and ruthless streak on the left edge.
The Papua New Guinea international began the season with two tries in the opening day victory over Coventry Bears at the Keepmoat Stadium. He followed that up with four tries against amateur side Myton Warriors, as the Dons progressed through to the Challenge Cup fourth round. He then went four games without a try, before powering over for a score against North Wales Crusaders as the Dons won 28-20.
Tali scored two tries in the victory over Hemel Stags, before crossing in the cup defeat against Betfred Championship side Featherstone Rovers. He continued his strong start to the season with another double against West Wales Raiders, and then a late consolation try in the trip to Oldham. The 31-year-old scored against Bradford before signing a new three-year deal with the club midway through July. The deal brought the best out of Tali, who scored in a game three days later away at Hunslet.
A try against London Skolars followed, before he scored a brace of tries against his former side Newcastle Thunder at the Keepmoat Stadium. He secured the top try-scorer accolade with a smart finish against Keighley, before another double in the Dons' final away game of the season against North Wales Crusaders. His final try of the season came in the Betfred League One play-off semi-final defeat to Workington Town, and with his future at the club secured, he could well be a big player once more in 2019.

3 Questions to Ask When Getting an Oklahoma to Nebraska Auto Transport Quote
Driving for more than 580 miles from Oklahoma to Nebraska by yourself is pure madness nowadays, when almost all routes are very crowded. Besides the fact that you expose your car, you can also end up seriously injured. There are many irresponsible drivers out there!
What You Should Know
There is no doubt that a car is not only expensive, but also very useful. Keeping it well-maintained is very important. So, if you plan to move to a new city for personal or professional reasons, would it not be a rushed decision to drive it by yourself? At the same time, it would also be a mistake to handle your car to an unknown Oklahoma to Nebraska vehicle shipping company.
That is why, you should do some research before making any choice. Here are a few questions you need to ask before hiring a company to relocate your car from Oklahoma to Nebraska.
- Do They Offer Insurance?
This is the most important question you need to keep in mind. Your personal insurance has nothing to do with the insurance your car shipper needs to have. So, ensure yourself that you make the difference between them. Otherwise, you may have to face unpleasant situations. For example, you may hand over your car in perfect condition and you may receive it badly scratched or damaged, with no one available to take responsibility for repairing it.
- Are They Licensed?
Most Oklahoma to Nebraska car shipping companies are licensed, but there are also scammers looking just to take your money. That it is why you need to make sure that your contractor is authorized; otherwise, you may have your car transported from Oklahoma to Nebraska in 100 years.
3. Is the Quote Free or Not?
There are a few companies that will charge you for asking an Oklahoma to Nebraska auto shipping quote, but there are also many reputable contractors that offer free quotes for their services, so take care!
What Would Be the Best Company?
When it comes to car transportation, we are one of the most popular companies in the nation. This is because here, at American Auto Move, we are able to provide you with the best automobile shipping in the USA, at the most affordable rates.
If you need a price quote, all you have to do is to visit our website, www.americanautomove.com and fill in the available form. Contact us right now at (888) 201-2370 and let us set the details regarding your shipping from Oklahoma to Nebraska.

Beer Battered Catfish Po Boys with Red Pepper-Garlic Slaw and Sriracha Mayo is a flavorful dinner that the whole family will enjoy! This post is in partnership with Hampton Creek.
When I was growing up my family had a catfish restaurant, it was an all-you-can-eat restaurant and it was really good food. I had no idea how much I would miss it when it was gone. Luckily since moving back to Oklahoma we have lots of opportunities for fishing.
Earlier this summer, the guys caught a huge catfish, well huge in my book, it was like 20 lbs! We ate catfish for days and enjoyed every bite. I experimented with fixing it different ways and one of my favorites of course, was beer battered and deep fried. Oh yeah.
I had a nice catfish filet in the freezer and on Memorial Day I decided to fry it up. I made a simple batter for the catfish and deep fried it. I did the fish frying on the back porch for the first time. It was hotter than hades outside but my house did not smell of fried fish for days after! I will be doing that again!
We normally have fried catfish, slaw, hushpuppies and tarter sauce but I decided to change it up a bit just for fun. I made sandwiches but not like the drive-thru fish sandwiches.
I buttered and toasted whole wheat hoagie buns, piled them high with the beer battered catfish, topped it off with piles of Red Pepper-Garlic Slaw and then drizzled it all with a delicious Just Mayo Sriracha from Hampton Creek.
Cody declared it was the best thing he had ever put in his mouth. I love it when they say that. Actually, it was really amazing and something I will make again and again.
Our family loves sauces, mayonnaise, dressings and everything that falls into those categories. So I was more than happy to try out the new Hampton Creek Just Mayo. They sent three of the varieties (Garlic, Sriracha and Original) and my family was very impressed.
Tucker has been specially requesting "the orange sauce" as he calls the Just Mayo Sriracha for every sandwich. At 6 foot 3, he is a sandwich expert.
Hampton Creek is bringing healthier and affordable food to everyone,everywhere. I love it. I am dying to try their Just Cookies that are all natural and allergy friendly. Hampton Creek is on to something really good here, and I hope you will give them a try. Just Mayo is my new favorite and I know you are going to love it too.
Good news! Hampton Creek has a three pack of Just Mayo for one of you with the Garlic, Sriracha and Original Flavors.

Offering a diverse and dynamic public programme of contemporary arts and culture, we are also a home to a large community of creative businesses, artists and makers, including Somerset House Studios.

From its 18th-century origins, Somerset House has been a centre for debate and discussion including the first home of the Royal Academy of Arts and other learned societies – an intellectual powerhouse for the nation. For over 200 years the building housed various government departments including births, marriages and deaths and the Inland Revenue until Somerset House Trust was established in July 1997 to conserve and develop Somerset House as an arts centre. After a campaign to open Somerset House to the public, we once again became a home for arts and culture in 2000.

By: Patricia Bubash, Ed.S., LPC
"He is my best friend." Not an unusual comment, but typically, we would surmise spoken by a woman, maybe even a man or even a relative. These words came from the lips of a wife.
It isn't the first time I have heard a wife say this about her other half, but it is the first time that I "really" thought about the impact of a "best friend" relationship to a marriage- and even more impacting, on a remarriage.
Statistics show that most divorced men and women are still desirous of finding a lifelong partner. More than half of first time divorced spouses choose to walk down the aisle again. We really don't need to read the statistics; observation is enough. The overwhelming number of dating sites, divorce support groups, friends trying to "set" single friends up, convinces us to believe the statisticians' numbers. Research will show we indeed live in a "couples" society. The need to have a partner, a companion, a person to share interests, socialization, good and bad situations: a soul mate.
Finding that someone special is a desire shared among the single. We are inundated via all modes of communication: television, radio, written word, personal conversations with the necessity of being "in love." Unhappily, for the love seeker many of their hopes for the real thing are relationships founded "in lust" rather than "in love."
An author friend, Pam Evans, is an expert on finding love. Her problem wasn't finding love, but keeping it! As a self- proclaimed multiple marrier she is familiar with the search for a soul mate, a replacement for a previous spouse. In her book, Ring Ex-Change, Pam shares her misdirected view of what was important in a relationship. It was this perception that led to her four failed marriages. A good thing for the readers of her book, she didn't give up easily.
A lesson from Pam's book coincides with my premise to find a best friend first. If the new love meets her criteria, then, chances are high that a soul mate will follow. Pam's words of personal relevancy provide these words of wisdom, "When two individuals approach a relationship first in the spirit of friendship, then true bonding leading to the deepest unconditional love, where affection, respect, compassion, sensuality and kindness join together, can develop." I reread this lengthy quote several times to really "get" the depth of it. But, once I did I heartily, agreed with Pam's "friendship first."
We know, typically, a physical attraction is usually the "first' connector for two people looking for a serious, long term relationship with the end result being marriage. Through our own personal experiences, or those of friends, we know that physical attraction is short lived. Beyond attractiveness and good looks, the qualities that Pam assures us are so important, tend to not exist. No matter how gorgeous, how handsome, if our choice is based on exterior, not on best friend qualities, our relationship that's based on physical attraction will soon end and our new search will begin again.
A close friend who has a PhD. in counseling with many years of private practice, and, one of the divorced who is "searching" shared some personal and professional insights. "In the past, I found myself trying to be who my date wanted me to be. I found myself trying to please, to make him happy. In doing that I wasn't making me happy and I was being dishonest." I think in our anticipation of making up for the loss of our marriage, the need for finding love again, a replacement for that lost love; we aren't always true to "me." First, I believe it is essential to be a best friend to yourself. Then find that "best friend" who will be a true friend.
Returning to this "best friend" first, then love theory (according to Pat the counselor) ask yourself this question: "What qualities, virtues do I need in deciding that someone has achieved best friend status with me?" For me, it is the following:
- Be supportive and honest.I don't want someone to agree with me, because disagreeing might hurt my feelings.
- Be willing to listen to me without giving advice. My view of advice: "Fools never heed it, and wise men don't need it." So skip the advice, just listen.
- Let me know about the spinach between my teeth!
- Encourage me in my goals.
When you find that someone who fills these four (my best friend) criteria, I believe you have found someone who has the potential of "replacing" – positively, a former relationship. Worth thinking about: don't rush- best friends tend to evolve over time, but once in place, last forever. One day you will be repeating the words of the woman whom I interviewed, "He is my best friend!"
Patricia Bubash received her M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Missouri, St. Louis. Working with students and families has been her true calling for over thirty years. For more than twenty years she has presented workshops at the community college on a variety of topics relating to parenting issues, self-esteem and issues relative to divorce. Patricia is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri and, a Stephen Minister. She submits a variety of articles related to relationships, marriage and divorce to several internet sites, and, frequently, is interviewed on internet radio stations.

Restriction of his Nanny?
Brenda Nicoll Williamson
on 2007-03-15
To encapsulate the form of his nursemaid inside what looks like a ballet shoe seems to indicate the desire to restrict her influence over him. Maybe in expresses a desire he had as a child to be out of her control and in drawing this he has her in his control i.e. just where he wants her, lying down (less able to move/escape in this position), tied up so that she cannot escape and stretching out for his help, in the form of a supplicant.

Invesco PowerShares and the Select Sector SPDRs have come to an agreement in a dispute over the use of similar tickers, with PowerShares voluntarily changing the symbols for its nine S&P SmallCap Sector ETFs. In April 2010 PowerShares launched a series of sector-specific funds focusing on small cap stocks. While the Select Sector SPDRs focus on large cap stocks, the PowerShares small suite carves up the S&P SmallCap 600 Index into nine major sectors (there are some other differences between the funds as well, such as the treatment of telecom stocks).
The ticker symbols for the suite of products were similar to the established Sector SPDRs; the letter "S" was added to the tickers for the Select Sector SPDRs (the small cap financials ETF, for example, is XLFS, while the Select Sector Financial SPDR is XLF). The Select Sector SPDRs were launched in late 1998.
A few months after the launch of the small cap sector funds, SPDR filed a lawsuit against PowerShares calling the similar tickers a "deliberate and unconscionable act on the part of PowerShares to confuse both institutional and retail investors." Ben Fulton, Invesco PowerShares managing director of global ETFs, commented on the resolution in a press release:
ETFs have proven to be an extremely valuable tool for sector investing, as indicated by the investor interest in the sector ETFs of both Invesco PowerShares and Select Sector SPDRs. Our intent, when we selected the original tickers was not to confuse, but simply to make it easier for S&P Sector investors to identify the tickers of the new Small Cap S&P Sector ETFs. We have worked closely with the Select Sector SPDR Board and understand their perspective on the matter. We were amenable to their proposal because the PowerShares S&P Small Cap Sectors have filled a significant gap in the market and have been very well received by investors.
Beginning in late March, the PowerShares SmallCap Sector ETFs will begin trading under new ticker symbols:Sector Old Ticker New Ticker Consumer Discretionary XLYS PSCD Consumer Staples XLPS PSCC Energy XLES PSCE Financials XLFS PSCF Health Care XLVS PSCH Industrials XLIS PSCI Information Technology XLKS PSCT Materials XLBS PSCM Utilities & Telecom XLUS PSCU
"Both parties agree that in the interests of investors, the best course of action is to work together to make the changes," noted Dan Dolan of Select Sector SPDRs. "We appreciate Invesco PowerShares' willingness to work with Select Sector SPDRs and are eager to move ahead as we continue to provide investors powerful ways to express their investment convictions on sectors of the U.S. stock market." added Dolan.

Hooking her up with a rich dude from a dating site is a piece of cake and he soon finds himself jerking off while watching her suck big curved cock and get fucked raw wearing nothing but a pair of black hold-up stockings.
