Houston's Patrick Beverley has torn meniscus; status unclear
The Houston Rockets may have just suffered a tough blow to their title chances, as news emerged on Friday that starting point guard Patrick Beverley tore his meniscus in Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Houston guard Patrick Beverley has suffered a torn meniscus in his knee, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Timetable for return unclear.- Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) March 28, 2014
Beverly was forced to leave the Rockets' win over Philadelphia early in the second quarter, walking gingerly to the bench before heading to the locker room, according to CSN Houston. The Rockets called the injury a right knee sprain and coach Kevin McHale said Beverley would get an MRI on Friday - the results of which, it appears, led to the report of the torn meniscus.
How long Beverley is out depends on how severe the tear is and how patient Houston decides to be with the injury, information which isn't yet available.
Beverley will seek second opinion, where it'll be determined if there's rehab scenario where he could return in playoffs -- or miss season.- Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) March 28, 2014
Teams have approached meniscus tears differently in the past, as delineated by Sports Illustrated.
Derrick Rose had surgery for a turn meniscus in November and is out for the season, though that time frame is influenced by Chicago wanting to be cautious because of Rose's injury history; the Thunder's Russell Westbrook tore his lateral meniscus in the playoffs last year and had surgery, which forced him to miss the rest of the postseason; Blake Griffin, whose surgery had his meniscus removed rather than repaired, had his operation in July of 2012 and was back for training camp in October; last April, Metta World Peace returned after 12 days after surgery.
Long story short, until Beverley gets his second opinion on the severity of the tear and the different treatment options available, his return date will remain unclear.
The Rockets are pretty well equipped to deal with Beverley's absence, as former Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin will come off the bench and fill in for the starter until he returns. But Beverley is obviously the better option, especially defensively, and his injury will test Houston's depth. That will make winning a title for the Rockets, who currently sit in fourth place in the West, that much more difficult.
Beverley is averaging 9.9 points and 2.7 assists this season in 53 games, having already missed 18 games due to a a partially torn muscle in his mid-section, a fractured right hand and an abdominal strain. Known for his defense, Beverely became infamous as the player whose tough guarding (or dirty play, depending on your perspective) led to Westbrook's meniscus tear in the playoffs last year, and the two went at it again in a recent matchup, the first one between the teams since Westbrook returned from another knee surgery underwent earlier this year.
CSN Houston reported Dwight Howard also had a bit of an injury problem on Thursday night, with his ankle "bothering" him and holding him to just 26 minutes, but there don't appear to be any long-term concerns with Howard's health.

Hull KR have signed England Knights centre Iain Thornley from Wigan Warriors for 2016.
He joins on a two-year contract at the KC Lightstream Stadium having fallen down the pecking order at Wigan during a difficult couple of seasons with injury.
Thornley, 23, is currently on loan with Salford Red Devils after spending four games on dual-registration with Workington.
However, he was a try-scorer in the Warriors side that defeated Hull FC in the 2013 Challenge Cup final and also lifted the Super League title that season.
"I'm really looking forward to a new challenge with Hull KR and getting back to my best," he said, having essentially replaced Darrell Goulding in the Rovers squad, his former Wigan team-mate who retired earlier this year due to injury.
"I'm pretty good friends with Daz Goulding and he told me how good a club it is and how good the lads were.
"He settled in really easily and I just fancied a new challenge with Hull KR.
"I wanted to come over there and get back to that form I had before I got injured.
"I feel a lot better now, I've ticked all the boxes coming back from injury and I've been playing quite a bit on dual-reg'.
"I've signed for Salford until the end of the season to get some game time at Super League level and that will do me the world of good.
" I'll get some match fitness and then I can come over to Hull tip top and ready for next season."
Thornley, who has also spent time in rugby union with Sale Sharks and Yorkshire Carnegie, added: ""I know Chris Chester pretty well too and he was keen for me to come over there.
"He thought there was a spot for me in the squad to challenge for and I'm excited about that competition for places.
"I'm only 23 but I've played in cup finals, Grand Finals and big play-off matches so hopefully I can bring that experience with me and make a good impression."
Thornley scored 30 tries in 46 appearances for Wigan and head coach Chester admitted: "Iain will be a fantastic addition to our squad for next year.
"He's got plenty of experience of playing in big matches considering his age and he will add size, speed and skill to our side from 2016.
"Defensively, he is very good as well and he will add further depth to the squad in the centre and wing positions.
"I've spoken to Iain a lot over the last couple of weeks and I know how excited he is by this challenge.
"He's got international pedigree at youth level and I've no doubt he has the potential to really kick on during his time with us as a key member of our side."

Hedge funds controlled by Goldman Sachs and GLG Partners won a significant court ruling yesterday, over how to properly distribute billions of dollars of clients money held by Lehman Brothers when it collapsed, The Financial Times reported.
The High Court in London said that the Lehman funds were not "ring-fenced," by the investment bank's European arm and could not be claimed out of a $1 billion pool of funds currently controlled by Lehman administrators.
The Financial Times also said that while the ruling is a win for Goldman and GLG, whose cash was properly ring-fenced, it is a blow to several Lehman affiliates and other hedge fund clients, who now will not be eligible to pursue $3 billion worth of claims against the pool of funds.
The New York Times reported that roughly $11.4 billion in assets, including stocks, bonds, derivative contracts and other securities owned by hedge funds, insurance companies and other investors remain to be distributed in Lehman International's trust account. Those funds have been frozen since Lehman collapsed in September 2008, frustrating some hedge funds that made trades through the firm before it fell into bankruptcy, the newspaper said.

After Copenhagen: Looking for real solutions
The Government of South Australia, in association with the Environment Institute are hosting James Hansen at a public event.
James Hansen is considered one of the world's leading scientists on climate issues. Thirty years ago, he created one of the world's first climate models and is sometimes referred to as "father" or "grandfather of global warming". He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City.
Best known for his research in the field of climatology, a watershed testimonial to the US congress in 1988 on global warming and his advocacy to limit the impacts of climate change, James will be speaking at a public event in Adelaide about his new book "Storms of My Grandchildren", covering his views on climate change and obtaining real solutions to these problems.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear James Hansen share his lifetime of research on climate change and have the opportunity to engage with him through audience discussion.

Situation Update | Kyauk Kyi Township, Nyaunglebin District (February to April 2013)
The following situation update was written by a community member in Nyaunglebin District who has been trained by KHRG to monitor human rights conditions. It is presented below translated exactly as originally written, save for minor edits for clarity and security.[1] This report was received along with other information from Nyaunglebin District, including 416 photographs and four video clips.[2]
In our region, human rights abuses are always occurring. They are (1) forced labour; (2) demanding money; (3) causing troubles [to villagers] by [arbitrarily] detaining them; (4) water [lake] problems where the rich people confiscate the residents' properties; and (5) finally, the ongoing activities of the Burma military [Tatmadaw].
There are many kinds of human rights abuses but the villagers' faces are turned [tricked] and the abuses are committed in a sneaky way. Moreover, the Government speaks out to do development projects and much of the land they have invaded is being used for [development projects] and is being destroyed. The villagers from the region are only labourers. The country's leaders substitute politics with economics.
Forced labour in Moo Township region
On February 11th 2013, LIB [Light Infantry Battalion] #590 and IB [Infantry Battalion] #30, which are based in Htee Ler Baw Hta camp, demanded 18 carts from D--- village and 40 carts from F--- village, so that there were 58 carts in total. They [F--- and D--- villagers] have to go and transport things from Theh Hpyu Chaung. They asked the villagers to go and take the rations with the carts because their rations were only sent to Theh Hpyu Chaung. The villagers were not given any wages for transporting [rations].
On the same day, Battalion Deputy Commander Aung Naing Htway from LIB #590 demanded 23 carts from K--- village to send rations to Ma La Daw military camp.
Demanding money
The LIB #264 demanded money from the gold miners in Ler Doh [Kyauk Kyi] Township region and Hsaw Htee [Shwegyin] Township. They [LIB #264] demanded 350,000 kyat (US $359) [3] from [the owner of] each gold mining machine every month. Battalion Commander Kyaw Myo Oo from LIB #264 asked his people to collect money for two months from the gold mining machines. On February 5th 2013, the LIB #349 replaced LIB #264. There are 50 gold mining machines, and because a new battalion arrived and demanded money from them again, it causes difficulty for them [the villagers]. Demanding money from the gold mining machines is not the taxation policy that the Government has set up, but is only an illegal way of collecting tax.
Battalion Commander Kyaw Min Oo[4] from LIB #264, which is based in Baw K'Hta, military camp demanded logs from the logging machine [owners] and said that he would pay for the logs, but after his battalion was rotated he did not provide the payment.
LIB #264 Battalion Commander Kyaw Min Oo took logs from people's logging machines and [the cost of the logs are]: (1) 2,000,000 kyat (US $2,053) from Saw E---'s logging machine; (2) 1,500,000 kyat (US $1,540) from L---; and (3) 1,000,000 kyat (US $1,027) from M---. When the Battalion Commander took the logs, he told the owners that he would give them money for the cost, but still has yet to give any. The LIB #264 took the logs starting in November 2012.
Detention and giving trouble
On March 25th 2013, SOC [Strategic Operations Command] #8 Commander Aung Kyaw Kay detained and gave trouble to [questioned] a villager in Hsaw Mee Loo military camp when the B--- villager who went and lived in Taw Oo [Toungoo] Town was coming back to visit his siblings and his villagers. When he came back, the Government military [Tatmadaw] arrested him and gave him trouble before releasing him on March 26th 2013. If we look at this situation, even though there is a ceasefire agreement, the villagers cannot travel freely.
Information on the lake
In the village tracts [of Nyaunglebin District], there are many lakes. Regarding the lakes, in the past, villagers from the village tracts could access the lake by paying a tax for a fishing license for each year. Then, they could get fish paste or frog paste that villagers were not only able to eat but also sell to other places. However, in the era of the party council [Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP)],[5] the villagers could no longer work on the lakes that they previously could access because the licenses for the lake were bought by the rich people from the party council. The Government only taxed the rich people 500,000 kyat (US $513) for a license to access the lake; however, if the villagers want to access the lakes, they have to pay the rich people 3,000,000 kyat (US $3,080) for a license to fish.
Therefore, it causes difficulties for the villagers. The villagers who had access to the lake no longer have the chance to eat the frogs or fish and cannot work on the lakes anymore. Therefore, in 2012, the KNU [Karen National Union leaders] from Ler Doh Township forbade the lakes from being fenced [by the rich people] and they allowed every villager to earn their living [by fishing in the lakes with a common use system]. The region of that place is in A Nyin Pwa region that is controlled by both the KNU and the Burma government.
Two systems for accessing the lake are being followed by the rich people and the villagers; one set up by the KNU and the other by the Burma government. The KNU said villagers can access lakes on a common use system while Burma government issued licenses to rich people who then sold the licenses at exploitative prices to the villagers.
When the villagers followed the common use system created by the KNU, the villagers were sent to court [by Burma government officials]. Therefore, it causes difficulties for the villagers. KNU gives permission to fish in the lakes, so the villagers fish there. Villagers from Ler Doh Township region can fish but the Fishery Department and fishery lessees [agents] have created problems, requiring eight H--- villagers from Ler Doh Township to go to court; [these villagers are]: (1) Ko P---, (2) Ko S---, (3) T---, (4) Ko V---, (5) Ko Ht---, (6) Ko Au---, (7) Ko Sh---, and (8) Ko St---. These people have to go to an appointment at court because they fished.
The case went all the way to the presidential level and the president gave villagers permission to access the lake by paying the taxes to the local government rather than the rich people at the higher price. However, the villagers from Shwegyin Township still cannot access the lake for a fair fee.
If we look at [the case], it is not concerned with the villagers. It is concerned with the Government and the two groups [the Government and the KNU] that have taken control. They need to be clear with each other. As the two groups are not clear with each other, it causes difficulties for the villagers. The lake case was a problem for the whole Kler Lwee Htoo [Nyaunglebin] District. The villagers who had access to the lakes could not fish from the lakes anymore because the lakes were only in the wealthy people's hands. Everything [fishing] is done by the Fishery Department [staff] and the brokers.
If we look at when the Fishery Department leased the lakes to contractors for fishing, they not only leased the lakes, which have licenses issued by the government, but they also leased the Bote Pyin Lake and the streams. The streams are where the villagers fished together in the past. Now, the villagers cannot fish anymore because the wealthy people bought them and work on them. Therefore, it causes difficulties for the villagers. The lake issues occur in all of Nyaunglebin District.
Government military's situation
The groups of Government military [Tatmadaw] based in our region are active and replace themselves in Bgay Hkoh in Moo Township region and in Ler Doh Township region. The Southern Military Headquarters is the active military group and controls two Operations Commands; the Ler Doh Operations Command and Shwegyin Operations Command. The military groups that operate in Ler Doh and Moo [townships] are LIBs #351, #599, and #590; IBs #60 and #5; LIB #307; and IBs #30 and #20. In Shwegyin, LIBs #264, #349 and #589 and IB #57 are active, and for MOC [Military Operations Command] #4, there are 10 battalions: LIBs #701, #702, #703, #704, #705, #706, #707, #708, #709 and #710. They set up their Operations Command in Muh Theh.
On February 18th 2013, the MOC #8 replaced the MOC #4.
Landmine case
On January 2nd 2013, Saw Eh---, a 22-year-old, whose father's name is U Gr---, and lives in X--- village, Moo Township went to the forest in order to find firewood. On the way to the forest nothing happened, but on the way back [home], at 9:00 am, he was hit by a landmine at Y--- village. The sole of his foot was split open from being hit by the landmine and he was sent to the Ler Doh Hospital. His leg did not need to be amputated.
On April 20th 2013, a villager from Moo Township, Uh---, also referred to as Ko Hs---, who is a 23-year-old whose father's name is U Th---, was hit by a landmine at 7:00 am while he went and looked for firewood. He was sent to Moo Hospital and his left leg was amputated. He was hit by landmine at [a place] one mile from Kyuang Su, which is in Kyi La Myaung region. Both the KNLA and the Burma militaries are active in that place.
On February 13th 2013 at 7:00 am, Dt---, an 18-year-old boy whose father's name is U Na---, from Lh--- village, Moo Township went to log. He went with a cart and, on the way there, a landmine hit the cart and Dt---'s back. The place where [he was hit by the landmine] was in Kr---. He was sent to the Moo Township Hospital after he was hit by the landmine.
On March 2nd 2013, a villager called Kyaw J---, 25-years-old, whose father's name is U M---, from Meh Meh Su village, Moo Township was hit by a landmine while he went and looked for vegetables. He was hit by a landmine at K--- village and he was hit by the landmine at 5:45 am while he went and looked for vegetables. His right leg was cut off [by the landmine].
Villagers are always hit by landmines in Moo Township, and the Burma military is still active until now. Even though there is a ceasefire agreement, the Burma military has not ceased its activities yet but is still active there. Even the KNLA is active there. Therefore, as the two military groups are active, I do not know whether the landmines are old landmines or new ones. We cannot say whether the landmines are from the Burma military or the KNLA for sure. If we look at [the situation], because of the armed groups' fighting, the villagers have to suffer in the middle. The places where the landmines exploded are in the Moo Township region.
Gold mining in the region
In our region, there are a lot of people who mine gold. The gold miners dig the land and pan with a machine. They use chemicals[6] to mine gold and, in the future, it will cause drinking water problems for the region.
If the [water which includes the] chemicals is drunk, four lives will be killed.[7] Regarding the gold miners from the region, because the wealthy people cannot mine directly, they use the resident miners from that area; the resident miners do as much work as they can handle. The gold miners [businessmen] are from Yangon. There are only a few residents [local villagers]. The gold mining destroys the land a lot and harms the environment. Moreover, because they use the chemicals, it causes problems for the residents. The water is not pure and there is only poisonous water left.
The gold mining takes place in Ler Doh and Hsaw Htee townships regions. Nowadays, the Government does not solve the ethnic conflicts and political problems; instead of doing this they are focusing on business. There are over 100 businessmen and they request permission to mine gold.

I also held the first Workshop Day in December which proved very popular, so I will be putting more of these on. The next one is scheduled for Friday 5th February and is filling up fast.
The hall is lovely venue, in the countryside with good facilities and parking outside.
Below are some of the students completed projects:
I still have a few places left on my Thursday afternoon session, 12.30 to 2.30pm, starting in January, and one place left on the Tues evening session 7.30 to 9.30pm.

How Not To Be A Weekend (Eating) Warrior
Posted on September 21, 2012 2 Comments
The weekdays seem to lend themselves more easily to sticking with an eating plan, because of the structure most of us have due to work and other routine obligations. But, come the weekend? That's usually a time to let loose, relax, and for me that meant indulge. It was a way to "treat" myself for […]

I guess I really should update more than once a month, huh? At the very least, my frugality should kick in and decide paying for this site means I actually use it.
I miss writing daily. Like many things, it's habit. Once broken, hard to fix. I have the time now to do so – I no longer work at the sanctuary and Tom travels for work every week so I have my evenings to myself. But somehow I never think to write.
I turned 35 this month. It happened with little fanfare, as I wished. I guess I might have wanted a bit more trumpet blowing if I thought I were healthier, wealthier, and wiser than I was at 30. But alas, I don't think that's the case.
I'm getting there though. Before fixing this writing habit, I'm trying to fix a few healthy habits that fell by the wayside. Hate to throw him under the bus, but it is so much easier with Tom gone most of the time. As someone who was paid for physical labor over half his life, he has a hard time convincing himself to sweat without dollar signs attached. He also had a HUGE change in his eating habits when we merged – no red meat? What's this green stuff? And while that was great for him, it was a step backwards for me and my 8-a-day.
The wealthier is a bit harder to manage. I am currently drawing a small salary from my grandmother. It became evident last fall that she needed extra help around the house. I couldn't provide more support without making her my "job", and so we agreed that's what was best for now. I drive up to Gainesville once a week to spend 2 days with her. I also do things for her throughout the week that don't require her presence – buying a toaster, getting rid of old items we've stashed in my trunk, etc.
I am enjoying this extra time with her immensely. Thankfully, Tom comes from a large, tight-knit family. He's incredibly supportive of this departure from my having a "real job".
While leaving the sanctuary as the IT Manager wasn't something I was seriously considering at the time, several changes happened that made this decision easy for me. GM, (aka friend, mentor, big brother, hero, cohort who made the impossible challenges of working there bearable) had/has some pretty awesome opportunities in the works for him. Whether higher ups felt threatened by that, or were making a preemptive strike on his leaving, he wasn't being treated well.
I wasn't being treated well either, come to think of it. Several of us that helped build up much of the infrastructure were put down and negated on many changes that started to happen.
Since then, changes having been occurring at a rapid fire pace. I am still a volunteer, and still a volunteer coordinator. I hope that things will slow down and the dust will settle. But there are a lot of hurt feelings and I'm not sure the outcome of that yet – even for myself.
And the wiser part? Well, perhaps leaving the paid position at the sanctuary and returning to volunteer-only status is a big step in that direction. It gives me freedom and distance from some of the people out there while allowing me more time with the cats.
Other than that, I kind of feel like I'm back where I was when I left my software engineering job. Blank slate. It feels a bit silly to be here yet again. But I'd rather be here than stuck in another unhappy situation. I can only move forward from here.

February 3, 2014 (KAMPALA) – South Sudan's envoy to Uganda on Monday said its former vice-president Riek Machar and two of his close accomplices are to be tried for treason in accordance with the country's existing laws.
- South Sudan's ambassador to Uganda Samuel Luate speaks to reporters in Kampala February 3, 2014 (Photo: Moses Lomayat)
Samuel Luate told reporters in the Ugandan capital, Kampala that Machar, ex-Unity state governor Taban Deng Gai and former environment minister Alfred Ladu Gore attempted to overthrow the government by use of arms.
"(..) Dr. Riek Machar and other two, Taban Deng Gai and Alfred Ladu Gore will be charged for treason as per the laws of the Republic of South Sudan. They were attempting to overthrow the Government by the use of arms," he said.
Last week, South Sudan's justice ministry slapped treason charges against seven of the country's 11 political prisoners held in connection with an alleged foiled coup attempt in the capital, Juba on 15 December 2013.
But while Machar, Gai and Gore remain at large, four others are still detained on treason charges. The government has also released and sent to neighbouring Kenya seven other politicians it detained the incident.
Ambassador Luate, however, said those in Kenya would still face the law, should prosecution find them guilty of any involvement in the alleged failed coup.
"The Government of the Republic of Kenya applied for the bail of the release of these seven people. This however does not mean that they are completely free from the prosecution against them," Luate told reporters.
"Investigations, however, are still ongoing," he added.
Meanwhile, the South Sudanese envoy dismissed claims that the Ugandan army (UPDF) were illegally in the new nation and should pull-out.
"Uganda troops were invited by the legitimate Government elected by the people of South Sudan and for that matter, the deployment of Uganda forces in South Sudan was clearly sanctioned by IGAD [Inter-Governmental Authority on Development], Uganda Parliament as well as the East African Legislative Assembly", Luate clarified.
"Therefore for anyone to start asking as to when Uganda troops will be leaving South Sudan is not helpful," he added, while stressing the importance of political stability in his country.
Uganda has lately faced been criticised for its army's involvement in the South Sudan crisis, although its leader Yoweri Museveni insisted he intervened to save the new nation from possible collapse.
South Sudanese rebels from the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army In Opposition (SPLM/A In Opposition) have accused Ugandan troops deployed in the country of committing continuous violations of the cessation of hostilities signed a week ago in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
The truce, reached by the two factions in talks mediated by IGAD, called for the withdrawal of allied foreign troops from South Sudan, including the Ugandan army.
However, rebels say there is no sign of a UPDF withdrawal, accusing Ugandan troops of continuing to attack their positions in Jonglei state.
Machar, who leads the country's ruling party opposition faction, largely blamed South Sudan president Salva Kiir for the violence that has killed thousands and displaced nearly 800,000 people in just six weeks.

Frequently Asked Question
Is it common to have an abortion?
According to the National Abortion Federation, nearly half of all U.S. women of reproductive age have an abortion before the age of 45. All types of women, from different races and ethnic groups, ages, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds have abortions.
Does it hurt?
Like most medical procedures some pain and/or discomfort may be involved. Some women feel only mild cramping while for others the procedure is painful. Most of our patients say the procedure wasn't as uncomfortable as they had imagined it would be. Sedatives and pain killers are available to help you with pain management.
How long will I be at the clinic?
Appointments for surgical procedures generally last about 4 hours, with the procedure taking about 5 minutes. For Medical/RU-486 procedures, appointments last about 2 hours. We understand your time is important and we will do everything we can to get you on your way home safely and quickly.
If the procedure only lasts 5 minutes why am I at the clinic for so long?
Your appointment includes paperwork, lab work, an individual information session, the procedure, and some recovery time.
When can I return to work/school?
Most women return to work and/or school the day after their procedure. You may return to normal activities as soon as you feel up to it but if you experience an increase in your cramping and/or bleeding you will need to decrease your activity level.
Is my appointment confidential?
Confidentiality is one of our biggest concerns. No one can obtain information about you or your procedure without your written consent. Our staff respects a patient's right to privacy and will not release any information without written consent and proof of identification.
I'm a minor. Can I have an abortion without my parents knowing?
The State of Florida requires either parental notification (not consent!) or a judicial waiver for any minor seeking to terminate their pregnancy. If you are unable to tell your parent(s) about your decision to terminate a pregnancy call the clinic and we can give you information about judicial waivers. If your parent(s) or legal guardian knows about your decision to terminate, he or she will need to:
- sign and have notarized a waiver form (we can mail or fax this form or you can come by to pick it up prior to your appointment),
- accompany you to your appointment and,
- they will need to bring photo identification AND legal documentation proving that they are indeed your parent or legal guardian.
In addition, you will need to have a photo ID.
If you are a minor and unsure how to proceed, please call the clinic and we can provide you with additional information.
Do I have to bring someone with me?
If you elect to use a sedative pain killer or IV sedation you must have someone with you to drive you home or someone that can pick you up.
What should I wear?
You should wear a comfortable, two-piece outfit, and underwear that you can put a pad into. Sometimes the clinic is chilly, so bring a long-sleeved shirt or sweater.
Why do you need to know my blood type?
It is important for us to know if you have a positive or negative Rh factor to help ensure the safety of future pregnancies. Women with a negative Rh factor require a Rhogam injection with each pregnancy, regardless of the outcome. This injection keeps the body of a Rh negative woman from building up antibodies against Rh positive blood. Bringing documentation of your blood type with you will save you from having to have your Rh factor typed on the day of your appointment.

Last year, our church school focuses on different themes taught using a rotational model. Children spent five to six weeks learning using science, cooking, storytelling, art, games, and music. Themes for the 2016-2017 church school year were:
Teach Us How To Pray (Sept. 18 – Oct. 16)
Prayer is talking with God. There are many ways to talk with God and many different kinds of prayers. Jesus taught his disciples to pray and gave them an example that we still use today. We call this example the Lord's Prayer.
Occupations In Bible Times (Oct. 23 – Nov. 20)
Learning about life in Bible times helps children better understand the biblical message that we all have different gifts that can be used to Glorify God.
Christmas Pageant Preparation (late Nov. – Dec. 18)
Burning Bush and other Images Of God (Jan. 8 – Feb. 5)
Who is God? What is God like? Throughout history people have expressed the reality of God through images and metaphor. Children will explore some of the many images of God in the Bible and discover how those images can help us know God.
Jesus And The Children (Feb. 12 – March 19)
Jesus proclaimed through his words and actions that children are valued by God. Children have important roles to play in the community of faith.
Parable Of The Sower (March 26 – April 30)
Jesus often told stories when he was teaching people. We call his stories parables. This parable is about a farmer. The seed that the farmer sows is the seed of the good news about Jesus.
Children's Sunday Preparation (May 14 – June 11) Parable of the Sower

Welcome to the 90's Mr Banks.
Holy balls weddings are expensive. No I mean like really expensive. Pretty sure I could buy an organ for this amount of money.
Last week Oscar and I sat down and put together a budget. We laid out all the costs and even put together a guest list for us to be able to work with an actual head count. Scary stuff. I knew it was pricy to tie the knot but never knew it was THIS pricy. Its flowers for gods sake. They need a bit of water and sunlight to grow. WHY DO THEY COST SO MUCH? (No I am not talking about strange flowers or "out of season although they grow it in a greenhouse" flowers. Regular normal flowers)
Another thing I am cringing about is a wedding video. Oscar insists on having one and I am DREADING being on any type of camera. Who watches it anyway? But I think Oscar will win this argument. I will wine on something else.
Not to mention all these random hidden costs. Like paying for waiters. Or gifts for your wedding party. They all add up.
I can't help but have Father of the bride flash backs. I GET IT Steve Martin. I get why you fell into the in-laws pool. I get why you nearly fainted at the sight of the cost of a cake. Mostly I get why you freaked out about paying for excess hot dog buns. It all makes sense now Steve. I feel you.
Our budget is still on paper. I will type it out tonight and cry and drink. And then be ridiculously happy BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!
Ps. If you are one of the fortunate few who have parents who helped/will help/can help pay for your big day, shut your privileged face 🙂

[Viaje del Sol] Welcome to Tahanan ni Aling Meding
This is the scene that would greet you as you arrive in this mansion in San Pablo Laguna directly in front of the Sampalok Lake. I was curious to check out this mansion cum hotel and restaurant which was described by the viaje del sol brochure as: " Tahanan ni Aling Meding is a tribute to the Borja sibling's parents, especially their mother, Meding, who kept hearth and warm, soothing and comfortable." One of my readers was also raving about the good filipino dishes they serve and that was enough for me to check this place out.
Just a side note: San Pablo, Laguna is a great alternative to tagaytay because it is merely 2 hours away. Imagine I already left manila at 10am and I was leisurely driving to this place and we still arrive at 12nn considering the traffic already in south super highway and in Batangas. Also, I tried to highlight the beauty of this mansion versus the scarry photos found in their brochure.
The verdict: Tahanan ni Aling Meding is San Pablo's version of Tagaytay's Josephine's or Leslie's. If you have a guest where you want them to taste authentic Filipino food at a homey Filipino Mansion ambiance, then this is the place to be. I love eating in their main dining area where you are served with good food with a hospitable service Filipinos are known for, while the Sampaloc Lake winds kissed your face through out your dining experience. Thanks to the Borja family for letting us enjoy their vacation mansion!!

Re: Cause and Effect
He's kinda right. Pakistan has been more two-faced than Erdogan. But Trump clearly (if this tweet is what he actually thinks) doesn't know the whole story. The one of the main branches of the main "rabbit hole" goes directly to Pakistan.

The Netherlands has extensive cycling paths and a cycling infrastructure to envy. How did this happen? Has it always been like this, or did people demand it because they felt threatened by the increasing numbers of cars on the roads they had to share on their daily trek to work, school, or shops? The video below shows why the government of the time changed its mind about the dominance of cars, for the better.
You can't compare a small, flat country like the Netherlands with a huge country like Australia, however many Australian cities have flat areas that are perfect for cycling. There are also plenty of Australians who live within cycling distance from work. People could ride instead of driving to work, and this would lessen some of the ever-increasing peak-hour traffic jams in our major cities. In my opinion, one solution to this would be creating a safe thoroughfare for bicycles on their way to and from work.
Although Melbourne is known for its cycle paths, there are many poor or broken connections and paths, and some even come to a complete stop at busy intersections, where protection from traffic is most needed. Once you have crossed the intersection without being run off the road, the bicycle path picks up again. Quite frankly, I still don't understand the 'safety' principles behind this decision…
Hopefully the video inspires people to do something about the situation here in Melbourne!

Comments Off on R.O.T.O.R.
Tagline: Robotic Officer Tactical Operation Research
Year: 1988 Runtime: 90 min
Director: Cullen Blaine
Writer: Cullen Blaine (original idea), Budd Lewis (screenplay)
Starring: Margaret Trigg, Richard Gesswein and Jayne Smith
I recently decided to get outside of myself and give something back. I visited the elderly at a local assisted living community and performed stand up comedy. Laughter is the best medicine, right?
My audience was a crowd of perhaps a dozen men and women in the recreation room. I don't think the staff told them about my "show" because more than a few of them were cutting their eyes at me when the orderly turned off Wheel of Fortune abruptly and introduced me.
I started off with a classic:
"A blind man walked into a bar." I paused for dramatic effect. "What? Don't take that tone with me," I kidded, looking around the crowd, "he was blind for goodness sake. What'dya expect?"
I think one of the two that could hear me chuckled. The rest were a mix of whistling hearing aides and wheezing, staring blankly at me like a dog that I had just tried to explain 401k benefits to.
It was at that moment that I truly understood just how much of a subjective beast humor is.
To make matters worse, for years I have tried to explain the value of b-movies to people through mocking them. I've often heard, and used, the phrase, "it's so bad, it's funny." Yet, humor being what it is, so bad, it's funny means different things to different people.
Then I watched the Rent-a-Center Terminator film, R.O.T.O.R. Suddenly, life, the universe and everything all made sense.
R.O.T.O.R. is a movie that exemplifies the description: so bad, it's funny. And thanks to this deliciously retarded movie, I think I can finally give a bulleted list of exactly what that means. This list barely scratches the puerile surface of this film, so as to not spoil the whole film. This is one film you have to experience to fully appreciate.
With all that said, R.O.T.O.R. is the type of movie…
…where a hyper-intelligent cyborg scientist, Dr. Capt. Coldyron (they couldn't decide which sounded cooler so they used both), lives on a cattle ranch, which he runs by himself. I suppose cyborg science isn't as demanding as it sounds. Nor is cattle ranching. When the cows come in to feed in the morning, he goes out and half-ass blows up tree stumps with his explosive lasso.
…that has the hero, Dr. Capt. Coldyron, wear sunglasses, but only while inside or at night. You can always tell him from the other dufuses in the movie 'cos he's the one with the bloody shins.
…that uses lines like the following to sound "scientific":
"Good vibrations to it's molecular tonality you can utilize." and
"How does the chassis [of the robot] animate without gears and motors?" Which is answered with, "This chassis has been given a prime directive."
…that use the following exposition to explain how to defeat R.O.T.O.R.:
"To combat pure will you'll have to use purer logic. You will have to let yourself fail. Use your failure against him. Your failure is his failure. Your weakness is his weakness. Then, and only then, can you do something."
"Great, except I don't know what any of that means."
"Let's hope you never have to find out."
…that uses the following line for, uhm, I have no idea (it's a boyfriend talking to his girlfriend as they drive home):
"Look at'choo. You look like you got both eyes coming out of the same hole."
…that has music "written and performed by Larry's Dad"
…that is set in Dallas, TX. Come on, really? Dallas, TX doesn't even want to be set in Dallas.
Being a movie about a futurific cyborg killing machine, here are R.O.T.O.R.'s finer features. R.O.T.O.R. can:
- easily push through neatly rowed chairs.
- with slight difficulty, push open both glass doors, on double glass doors

Back stories are always interesting. "How did you get where you are and why do you still love what you do?"
Founded in 1980 in Columbia, Missouri, Nolte's Bridal (and next door, Nolte's Flowers) offered gowns, tuxedos, flowers, stationery and wedding coordinating at the first of eventually three stores in that city.
During this time, National Bridal Service (Top 200 stores in U.S.) took note of the success and awarded membership into the professional organization. Likewise, Michael Nolte became the first man (in a then female-dominated industry) to be licensed as a Certified Wedding Planner.
As national magazines started featuring "Real Weddings," the first one from the Midwest ever spotlighted was one he coordinated. Entitled "A Moment in Missouri Magic," the article debuted in Elegant Bride magazine May 1991. As a planner, it was the ultimate compliment. The following year, the developers of the highly desirable Hawthorne Plaza recruited him to expand into the Kansas City market. Nolte's Bridal is one of the three original businesses to open there. There are now 49 stores in the freshly renovated upscale shopping center.
The success of the Overland Park store was immediate as Nolte's also became a source of evening dresses and Debutante gowns and brought the famous line of Priscilla of Boston bridals back to Kansas City.
During that period, Nolte developed a reputation for gown design and was privileged to dress two back-to-back Miss America's, Debbye Turner and Marjorie Vincent, in his designs.
After two years of running two bridal salons 130 miles apart, the Nolte family moved to Leawood.
Nolte continued his work with N.B.S. and wrote the book for future certification of wedding planners enrolled in Weddings Beautiful, the educational arm of the organization.
In 2007, Nolte's Bridal expanded again with a second store in the Northland's beautiful Briarcliff Village. During those five years, he co-authored the book "Stylish Weddings" with friend Mary Carol Garrity, the owner of Nell Hills.
The year 2008 was an exciting year of even more growth as the retailer, planner, author and speaker now added "Designer" to his resume. The introduction of the Michael Nolte Collection opened in 40 bridal stores in the country.
Nolte was also the founder and host of the magical bridal event, WHITE, for many years. It was an afternoon designed for engaged couples and their parents as they enjoyed small group vendor visits, a sit-down luncheon, the presentation "Ten Tips to Keep Your Wedding Amazing," and a runway show with champagne and dessert.
He is a sought after speaker for both large international industry conferences and intimate wedding planning seminars.
In 2012, an opportunity to expand the operation at Hawthorne Plaza allowed the inventory to be all under one roof and the company remains one of the longest running privately owned bridal salons in the nation. Nolte is now the Vice-President of National Bridal Service.
Presently two of his three daughters have joined the company and continue the tradition of bridal shopping being the once-in-a-lifetime experience it should be. Customers love the privacy of the large dressing rooms, the relaxed country club like ambience and the effervescent tips and guidance offered.
The store remains ranked as Number One Bridal Store in Kansas City and is grateful for the dozens of kind reviews the brides offer to write.
At Nolte's the tagline "Where it's more than just a dress," comes alive every day.
Nolte's third book, "Wonder-Filled Weddings, My Life As A Planner" was published on June 27, 2017.

Salary: £26,000 per annum
Location: Workington, Cumbria
Application Deadline: EXPIRED
Job Type: Graduate scheme
Contract Type: Permanent
Site Engineer - Refuelling (Rolls-Royce Submarines)
First Class MEng Mechanical Engineering – Durham University
Substantive job title, sponsor company:
Site Engineer – Refuelling, Rolls-Royce Submarines
Previous roles, secondment hosts and durations:
Graduate Design Engineer, International Nuclear Services, 4.5 months
Graduate Mechanical Engineer, Nuclear Propulsion – Ministry of Defence, 5 months
Graduate Mechanical Engineer, Devonport Site Office – Rolls-Royce Submarines, 4 months
Graduate Manufacturing Engineer, Primary Component Operations – Rolls-Royce Submarines, 8 months
Sponsor company:
Rolls-Royce Submarines
What was your final secondment and what did it involve?
My final secondment was as a Graduate Design Engineer within an Engineering Design team. Every day I had to use and apply concepts and learning that I gained through my Engineering degree. Most of my time was spent using 3D modelling software to generate designs, from basic concepts through to extremely detailed designs. I also gained experience in producing technical drawings which were sent out to manufacturers, and through this I was able to gain an understanding of how designers and manufacturers interact and work together. Other tasks which form part of the design process included writing functional and manufacturing specifications, and performing calculations to support the designs.
What attracted you to the nuclear sector and the nucleargraduates programme?
When looking for graduate schemes to apply to, I was attracted to nucleargraduates because of the variety of opportunities that are available throughout the programme. I thought "if I gain a place on this scheme, not only will I be able to undertake a range of placements in different companies, but I will also have dedicated time for training and development, as well as an instant network of contacts across the nuclear industry", what more could I want?
What is the standout moment from your time on the nucleargraduates programme?
A key moment for me was standing at the entrance of Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment on the north coast of Scotland. As part of a Continuing Professional Development trip to Dounreay, I had organised an opportunity for my Cohort to visit Vulcan and participate in several tours of the facilities on site. To get to this point, I had made use of my contacts within Rolls-Royce, liaised with the Chief Engineer at Vulcan, organised 30 graduates into groups and ensured they all had appropriate Personal Protective Equipment, coordinated the submission of security clearance information, and worked alongside my colleagues to deliver a successful trip to the most northern nuclear site in the United Kingdom. Standing there and realising what I had achieved was a proud and memorable moment.
What are your plans for the future?
Following completion of the nucleargraduates programme I have now taken up a permanent position within my sponsor company, Rolls-Royce. I have started my career with Rolls-Royce in Devonport Dockyard, training to become an Assistant Resident Engineer. It will take me two to three years to become qualified and I am likely to spend 5 years at the Site Office before returning to the hub of the business in Derby to further my career. Looking further into the future, I hope to move into a management position. The learning and development experiences I have gained through the nucleargraduates programme has put me in a fantastic position to build my management skills in the years to come.
Physics - Nuclear Security (ONR)
Degree and University: Physics (MPhys) at University of Liverpool.
Current job title, secondment host and duration: Nuclear security at ONR for 8.5 months.
Previous roles, secondment hosts and durations: None
Sponsor company: Office for Nuclear Regulation.
What is your current role and what does it involve?
My current role is working for the civil nuclear security programme within the Office for Nuclear Regulation. My day to day work includes writing guidance documents for inspectors, conducting surveys on security systems and assisting inspectors on interventions at nuclear licensed sites. I find inspections the most interesting part of my role as each one is so different to the last.
What attracted you to the nuclear sector and the nucleargraduates programme?
The main thing that attracted me to the nuclear sector was the scale of the challenges and problems it faces. The nuclear industry is a key part of our country's energy mix, and I wanted to make a contribution to it. The nucleargraduates programme stood out immediately from the other graduate programmes I looked at due the opportunities it provides. The unique structure of 3 secondments over the 2 years attracted me as a unique feature to that few others would have. In addition to the secondments, we also have access to a wide variety of learning and development opportunities and funding in order to improve ourselves.
What is the standout moment from your time on the nucleargraduates programme?
As part of the nucleargraduates scheme, we spend 10% of our time doing corporate social responsibility work in order to give back to the local communities in which we are based. As part of this we regularly attend STEM events and clubs in order to help and encourage young people to undertake careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. I find great satisfaction in working with the young people and possibly making a difference to their future careers.
How has the training nucleargraduates have provided helped with your professional development?
The nucleargraduates scheme provides training in a wide variety of 'soft skills' that are not necessarily concentrated on during degree work. For instance, we work on project management, communication and commercial awareness, amongst others, and these are skills that I have taken back to the workplace. We are also encouraged to take on further technical training, so I have undertaken a PgCert in Nuclear Security and Safeguards with the University of Central Lancashire in order to improve my knowledge.
What are your plans for the future (career wise)?
My current plans for the immediate future are to successfully complete the nucleargraduates scheme, and personally and professionally develop as much as possible in that time. Once the scheme is complete, I would like to return to ONR to continue my work in the security programme, and begin training to become a fully qualified inspector.

Hello and welcome to the weekend! As always here is a little round up of our week gone by!
Although it can be hard to get up early sometimes, getting a head start on the day feels so good! I snapped this photo of sleepy Dublin during the week, just as the sun was trying to break through. It was so peaceful and quiet which makes a nice change to the usual morning rush!Laura
Sale season has begun and I'm delighted with two bargains I picked up this week! Both items I have been lusting after too:)
I searched high and low for these Zara sandals for months and was delighted when my friend told me she had spotted them online. And for only €19.99 too! They were in my basket within seconds:)
This tote bag has been on my wishlist since we posted about it here and I couldn't leave it behind at 40% off in Warehouse! Who can resist a pink pom pom?! It's a great size for holidays and I love that it has a zip too for keeping everything secure. Laura
Waking to a sunny morning is always a shiny moment and I was delighted to rediscover this jacket I had forgotten I bought last year in Promod! I think this brand is great for affordable well made clothes! This printed jacket I am wearing is brilliant for days when the sun shines but you still need to add a light layer over a tee:)
I am also collecting a few pieces for my holidays next week in Portugal and was delighted with my River Island sale purchase arriving this week:) This print dress is just perfect for casual holiday wear!Anne
Hope you all have a lovely weekend:)

So I've finally fallen down the sheet mask hole that everyone else seems to have fallen down... I can't go into Winners without coming out with at least one mask. (And often more!) There are just so many options to try!
To restrict myself even a little bit I've decided to set a limit for myself: every time I go in I can only spend $15 on masks. I've had some hits and misses, and today I'm showing you one of my recent shopping trips.
For my $15 this time I got two packs of 5 masks each, and each box was $6.99. Shockingly I loved both of them SO MUCH. Read on to find out why!
Micellar Face Mask Sheet
Micellar Face Mask Sheet
Price: 5 for $6.99
Micellar Face Masks are a gentle and effective purifying solution in one amazing product. Micellar Face Masks are created for every skin type; especially sensitive skin to deliver that must have instant beauty solution. With just one mask, your skin will be hydrated and refreshed without irritation. Our masks are made with Vitamin A & E; the perfect combination to balance all skin types.
Cherry Chree Black Mud Sheet Mask
Cherry Chree Black Mud Sheet Mask
Price: 5 for $6.99
Black mud provides essential minerals & shrinks pores to help detoxify and firm skin.
Okay so I have to say right off the bat: I was really disappointed that these sheets weren't black. I read "Black Mud," I see the black and white packaging, and I expect there to at least be black masks inside. But nope. :( Regular white ones.
Aside from that minor disappointment, I actually REALLY LOVE these masks. They made my skin feel amazing, and though it might have been in my head (because I'm skeptical of real results after one use) it did feel like my skin felt firmer afterwards.
This has become my favourite sheet mask ever so far out of all the ones I've tried, but unfortunately I haven't seen it in Winners again since I picked this pack up. :( Guess we'll see how long I can make 5 sheets last haha.
Both of these masks worked well for my sensitive skin, and they both left my skin feeling really good after I took them off. :)
They didn't smell of anything I could identify, but I can tell you the scent is very subtle and barely even there - it smells like a generic unscented serum or product. (I don't know about you, but for me even unscented products have a bit of a distinctive scent.)
Overall these were both definitely worth the price, so if you see them around I would recommend picking them up and giving them a try!
Do you have a favourite sheet mask you think I should try? If so, be sure to let me know!
Thanks for visiting! xx

I love trying out sheet masks so these are one I should check out now.ReplyDelete
I don't have particularly sensitive skin, but some sheets, (and I think it's the sheet not the particular goo on them), some just burn like crazyReplyDelete
These look awesome! I love sheet masks but they always make me feel like I'm in one of those comedies when a character gets a full body cast and it covers their face too 😂😂😂ReplyDelete
GAH! Attack of the sheet masks.ReplyDelete
I have such a problem with buying sheet masks! I have a million of them. I definitely want to try these!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments! Even if I don't get a chance to reply I read and appreciate each and every one of them!! <3

A Graph Review: 40 ending at highpoint 55
(0= dont bother: 100=best ever)
by Martha Grimes, a Headline paperback published 1987
Odd title, had to buy it at a boot-fair (sorry bookshops!) and found it to be one of a series by an American author who, as an English professor spent time between England and America. From the inside cover it is one of seven but on outside cover it is one of ten titles so I appear to have started in the middle of a series…. though you cant tell if they are actually the same characters just from the listing.
Quite soon into the book I found the main detective got re-aquainted with another and they had appeared together in books before. I assume in their own individual books too, quite a nice little idea. Then a third fellow popped up as ditto, Although these two's presence was limited it was 'natural' and their contribution was useful. For much of the book I felt the main characters were a little, shall we say, under-described. I assume they had been given more depth in previous appearances so I had to play catch-up. As a new reader meeting them for the first time I initially felt like an outsider, probably not intended but it felt slightly odd. Hints of character did come through, though mostly brief comments on previous times I knew nothing about. A nice touch to Richard Jury's life pops up near the end of the story but I would have liked a little more earlier. This may be a sign of current times rather than when Martha Grimes wrote.
Two crimes, two crime scenes, two detectives and a cast of several differing families building into the story. Diverse conections of dissolute aristocrats, moneyed family and working-class wanting more for themselves and numerous add-ons, all pertinent to the plot. Everyone nearly a stereotype maybe but with tones of shading that added veins to their casting and conviction.
Richard Jury, main man, had something of Dickensian versus Fawlty Towers encounters in some hotel scenes which might have been deliberate or just an accidental over the top enthusiasm from the author. Quite acceptable, as humour is not easy to be subtle with and I did have the odd quirky experience in 80s hotels; so here we have it just a little magnified. And anyway the author got it pretty spot on even if it stuck out like a red nose.
The book settled into a rhythm, or maybe it was me. As the plot complicated the characters became more realistic and some darkness came through. Earlier descriptions and behaviour become clearer as the reader neared the final sections and the climax sneakily crept up to an explosive finish.
Scenes cover London and Exeter, Sussex and Brighton with nice descriptions of Brighton especially, that triggered memories for their accuracy of the period. Will I read more? Yes, I will happily pick up the trail of Jury and Macalvie but will try starting near the beginning of their careers.
Where do they stand in my view of the world? With the likes of Gideon and Inspector West most likely. Quite readable and interesting for the period but not a classic to quote.

After months of discussion about if and when 2016 No. 1 NBA Draft pick and potential future phenom Ben Simmons would debut in his rookie season, it appears we finally got our answer Friday and it is not the ideal one from a fan perspective.
Ben Simmons will be out for the remainder of the 2016-17 season according to Corey Seidman of CSN Philly.
76ers announce No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons will not play this season. https://t.co/ppCtqSiKC9 pic.twitter.com/pKeljDBG6p
— NBC Sports (@NBCSports) February 24, 2017
Here is an excerpt from Seidman's story about the results of Simmons most recent CT scan that showed that his foot still isn't fully healed:
Ben Simmons is officially out for the season, according to Sixers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo.
Simmons had a CT scan on his injured right foot Thursday in New York which showed that the foot is not yet fully healed. He'll have another scan in about a month, Colangelo said.
"I have always known that there was a desire to get him back on the court when healthy," Colangelo said. "We've always anticipated there would be an opportunity for him to play, hopefully this season.
"But there was always the outside chance that it didn't happen because there wasn't complete and full healing. And we weren't going to put Ben Simmons in a place where he was (susceptible) to a re-fracture.
"There are genetic things that change the healing patterns of people. So if everybody had done their research and saw that most Jones fractures took 3 to 4 months, great. But it's not 3 to 4 months in every case, it's 3 to 4 months in most cases."
"He's heartbroken. He wants to play. He wants to be out there. It's eating him alive, I'm sure."
Without trying to sound too negative or be a worry wart, this news is troubling. Simmons apparently has not been able to heal from this injury in the time frame that the majority of people who suffer from the injury are able to heal. That is a weird and unexpected development for a world-class, NBA caliber athlete with access to some of the best physical trainers in the world or country at least one would assume.
This could all just be an isolated thing and Simmons could go on to have a long, fruitful and mostly healthy career, but the potential reality that he is predisposed to these kind of injuries and may not possess the genetics to recover from them in a timely manner has got to be concerning for a 76ers team that has seen three of its four recent top draft picks miss their entire rookie seasons with injuries, including now former 76er Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid.
It will be mesmerizing to see how two potential generational talents in Embiid and Simmons are able to mesh together with their unique skill sets, but we can only hope that we ever get to see that come to fruition with their potential and current injury issues.
Nobody wants to see another Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming situation in Houston or a Greg Oden and Brandon Roy situation in Portland.

Level headed, broadminded and warm-hearted Isabel Chevallier was undaunted by the stresses and strains of life and was often turned to for a balanced opinion.
Born in Ufford, Suffolk, Isabel Cobbold, of the famous Suffolk brewing family, grew up with a deep seated love of Suffolk and country life. In 1897 she married JB Chevallier owner and manager of Aspall Cyder and helped him with the cyder business and farm. She soon made Aspall Hall her home, entertaining people from all walks of life with a graciousness and warmth that made a visit to Aspall truly memorable. She had a splendid disregard for worldly affairs which one can only hope that Viscount Kitchener found refreshing when he stayed at Aspall in 1902. One of her true passions was the gardens at Aspall Hall which produced a wealth of flowers, vegetables and fruit every season for the Hall and parish. Her life was tragically cut short when she was knocked down by a car on the road running through Aspall.

Thrive is a state most of us want to live, but few actually do.

Solitude is defined as "the state or situation of being alone."
It is about finding time everyday to pause from the chaos of life and simply be.
I will be the first to admit that finding silence each day can be anything but easy to do in our 21st century living. But, in order to care for our souls, it is exactly what we need to do.
When we take time to care for our souls, the love and serving we have for others comes from a place of abundance and overflow. If we neglect this soul care,...
Friend, can I ask you a personal question? Do you have joy in your life?
All too often I find that women I speak to who are empty, do not have joy in their life.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines joy as "a source or cause of delight." It is a state of happiness and emotion evoked by "possessing what one desires."
If I defined joy for myself, it would be anything that brings a smile to my face, a lightness to my heart, and a fulfillment to my soul.
Recently I saw a commercial on TV that made me laugh and shout 'no' all at once.
The commercial depicted a man who was tired and in need of a pick me-up. Using a drained phone battery to demonstrate this man's tired state, the message of the commercial was to consume an energy drink to fill him back up to full again.
Consuming this energy drink was his way to recharge so that he could continue living life.
While the message of using an energy drink to recharge is NOT one I...
The story about the farmer sowing seed is one of my favorite bible stories.
It goes like this:
"A farmer went out to sow seed. While he was scattering the seed, some of it fell by the road. The birds came and ate all that seed. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where there was not enough dirt. It grew very fast there, because the soil was not deep. But when the sun rose, it burned the plants. The plants died because they did not have deep roots. Some other seed fell...
Thrive is a word I use a lot. It is, after all, the name of my business and ministry. Thrive is not only how I want to live life, but it is how I want you to live life!

Translating " J'ai l'habitude de me coucher tard"

Translating " J'ai l'habitude de me coucher tard"
I think in English present tense that "I usually got to bed late" works best with above
This question relates to:
French lesson "Avoir l'habitude = To be in the habit of, to tend to"
Kwiziq language super star
Bonjour William ! The sentence in French is in the present tense, stating a current habit: I usually go to bed late. To say "I usually got/went to bed late", you would need L'Imparfait (habit in the past): "J'avais l'habitude de me coucher tard." I hope that's helpful! À bientôt !

Although the FAA has reopened the nation's airspace, Burbank Airport has yet to receive final clearance from the FAA to operate, and the prospects for scheduled flights today are very limited.
It cannot be overemphasized that travelers are best advised to seek specific information from the airlines before coming to the airport.
Southwest Airlines, which provides 65% of the scheduled flights on a normal day at Burbank, has stated it will offer NO flights at Burbank today. Neither will American Airlines. There is some discussion by the remaining carriers of possibly offering VERY LIMITED service by this evening, but no flights have been confirmed at this time.
Press statements listed below on this website provide background information on events leading up to today, including the additional security measures passengers should expect when scheduled flights do resume.

A little bit of 40s sewing this afternoon with some scraps from my felt box and some vintage cotton threads - Gay Green, Blue Crest & Cambridge Blue - don't you just love the names?
Completed my first project from my "Let's Make a Gift" book received yesterday. I wanted to use the colours suggested by the author but had to substitute with what I had in the hope that they are a suitably vintage 40s palette. This is actually a lovely little tactile flower, the snipped felt fringe at the centre is almost like wool. The stem and leaf have a nice sculptural quality and I will definitely be making more of these corsages. Pattern will follow soon.
