Life is full of experiences both good and bad. And it's easy to get caught up in the experience and ignore the take home value from it.
Everyday there are lessons all around us. The failures, mistakes and disappointments in life most often contain a moral of some sort. There's an underlying current that is speaking through life, it's up to us to pay attention and learn from them.
Maybe you didn't get that good break. Maybe that friend betrayed you. Or maybe that relationship didn't work out. It's easy to get bitter and soured of life. But sometimes, these things happen to teach us how to better manage the next friendship, or how to land the next big break.
And sometimes, God allows things to happen for different reasons. No one knows why the Lord does what He does. But sometimes the Lord will allow things to happen to teach us important life lessons and truths so that we're better able to handle the next big opportunity or divine connection.
Let me encourage you today to open your eyes to the take home value in every circumstance. Pray that the Lord will show you the moral of life's stories. Dare to be open to the lessons that come out of life's experiences.
God uses these lessons to make you wiser and better. They serve as keys that will catapult you to the next level in life.
Now, in order to come into the next dimension that God has for you, you'll not only need to be able to learn the lesson- but you'll need to apply it.
Many of life's basic skills came from a lesson you learned in school. Some are more perfected than others. For instance, maybe Math wasn't your strong point, but you were a master in English. These English skills may benefit you as a writer or a speaker when you apply the lessons you learned.
In the same way, life is still teaching you lessons today. When a child becomes defiant, there's a hidden lesson in the mix. This could be the child's way of screaming for attention. Maybe you've lost a job only to discover that it could've been prevented if you applied a key life principle.
God has given you the tools, truths and lessons to life's experiences. It's up to you to learn from them and apply them. Look beneath the surface of every life circumstance. You might discover some hidden truths that will shed some light and cause you to rise to the next dimension as you charge forth on your journey!

Teel Time: After seismic 2012-13 off field, how did ACC teams fare on?
The ACC envisioned the future Monday with its New York rollout for new members Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. But with the final competition on the NCAA's sports calendar — baseball's College World Series — settled last week, let's review how the conference's schools fared in 2012-13.

Danforth Restaurants - Baby Friendly (Globe?)
I need to make reservations for a 'nice' extended family dinner tomorrow night, including a 7-month old baby. Does anyone know if Globe has highchairs/change-tables, and most importantly, are the staff tolerant of infants?
Any other suggestions that will suit an infant that are on the 'nicer' side?
re: ChalkBoy
But you can't get a rez at Terroni or Librett, which is probably necessary.... especially if you're bringing bebe.
I think Globe might be OK if you let them know ahead of time and perhaps rolled with the early seating and all those tricks that parents are usually hip to already (although I would be very surprised if they had a high chair). Perhaps they could seat you on the mezzanine or somewhere that you could get a bit more privacy in case Small acted up (depending on the size of your group). Can't hurt to call and ask.
Even if they have a high chair, the arrangement of tables would be awkward at best. It's a very long and narrow dining room, with benches against the wall and chairs on the outside. The tables are quite close together. I was at their winetasing last week where they used the private room on the top floor. Perhaps that would be suitable? More floor space to work with. I'm sure the service would be exceptional in accommodating baby but I would guess there are probably better choices. As mentioned, it's pretty upmarket, and, it gets REALLY loud when the room is full much like a bar. Not recommended for infant ears!
re: tuttebene
That sure was a record turnout for a wine tasting at Globe, I think they had around 46 participants. Are you going to be at the winemaker's dinner? I'll be there.
I've seen very young babies on occasion, but it was only during brunch. I've never seen any at dinner. The hard surfaces really make the place noisy and a baby would not like that.
re: foodyDudey
I'm giving the winemaker's dinner serious thought; big fan of Fielding wines. As for the record numbers at the winetasting, Adrian and Bill did a great job with the tutored tastings. However, there were moments when the crowd (possibly drunken?) drowned out the presentation. Not sure I would want to go again if the groups will be that large. Fun night, and very generous pours for only $20!
re: tuttebene
I've found the winemaker's dinners to be great value, and I like the idea of a tasting-style menu. We always walk home after, I wouldn't want to drive after attending one of those.
I think you should just call the restaurant and ask. There are two levels, and I can't imagine the place will be rocking on a Thursday night (however, the restaurant is in the best position to answer this.)
re: childofthestorm
I've seen a well behaved one year old there, but a hyperavtive one may not be much fun to take there. And of the owners, I'm sure the wife is Italian if that matters.
We've been to Globe a few times with our baby, when he was 6 months old to when he's a toddler recently. We've done both dinner and brunch. They do have high chairs and change tables so that's not a problem. The table next to us actually commented on how 'well-behaved' our boy was (which I didn't think so....may be they were being polite?). May be do an earlier seating? But they do welcome babies there.
re: ddelicious
The concern about the noise level has to do with damaging an infant's hearing and not so much about causing upset to the baby. Think of your hearing after a rock concert. When people mention the noise level at the Globe, it's no exaggeration ;) Hopefully, it will be slow at 6PM.
Thanks everyone. I called the resto and they seemed pretty open to the idea. It's not my first choice in restaurants for a baby, but the popular vote (6 vs 3 - myself, hubby, and baby) says Globe, so we're going to give it a try. Bringing whatever distractions I can to smooth out the bumps. Dinner seatings start at 6pm, so that's when we're going.
Wish us luck ;)
re: Sinfulia
I think you will be fine -- when our son was really young we took him to all kinds of places for dinner but always went early (6 pm) and made a reservation so we had an extra chair for his car seat. A baby that age isn't the same as an older kid running around and grabbing at the tableware. I would be much warier now that he is 22 months old.
So was a mild disaster, but we survived. We left early as baby was getting squirrelly. Would've been ok except she kept getting spooked by the waiters dressed in black lurking in the background.
However, I have learned my lesson - that's the last time I even attempt to bring baby to a nice restaurant. Not enjoyable for baby, parents, nor other patrons in the restaurants. The wait staff was very polite though.
re: Sinfulia
Aw - sorry to hear you had a rough night. How was the food at Globe?
re: Rabbit
Yeah, bummer. My wife and I save our nice nights for the rare occasion when a family member can babysit, and then go all-out (last night out was Splendido).
Even a place like Gio Rana's doesn't have highchairs! Boy was that a disaster.

"The concepts were basic but TRUE!"
"Strong presentation skills and great delivery!"
"So many great takeaways!"
Corporations are finding that their managers have solid technical skills but need to work more on the softer skills that often get ignored through traditional development programs. Even top business schools are getting feedback from their corporate partners that their graduates need to be more skillful in leading and communicating with colleagues.
As business leaders, the ability to make informed decisions, effectively handle stress, and ignite innovation all rely on our capacity to be highly focused. This has become even more challenging during these difficult economic times when employees are expected to do more with less staff and resources. To become more adaptable and flexible, leaders need to move beyond habitual ways of seeing the world and open up to new ways of listening, responding, and innovating. Cultivating personal and organizational leadership skills through MindWorks Leadership training provides a way for managers to live all aspects of their lives with a greater sense of skill, connection, and balance.
Course offerings include:
- Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
- Stress Management
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Effective Communication
- Mindful Communication & Meditation
MindWorks Leadership's courses focus on improving employee productivity by using mind-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques that are customized for business professionals. Through our organizational training, professionals will discover ways to proactively manage their thoughts and feelings. Our programs are typically offered as half-day or full-day course at your company, and can be customized to meet your organization's needs. Each course has a mixture of lecture, discussion, and exercises. Contact us to find out more.
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
- Explore self-awareness and self management strategies that enhance emotional intelligence, and ultimately job performance.
- Ground yourself in a leadership style that is consistent with your core values.
Stress Management
-Understand the origin of stress and its negative effects including decreased productivity. Explore how to proactively manage stress.
-Identify thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in high stress situations.
Diversity & Inclusion
- Unconscious bias: Discover how we often rely on mental shortcuts that can at times be very limiting. Once we become aware of them, it is our responsibility to manage them.
- Inclusion: Broaden the "us" and "them" conversation around diversity and inclusion by becoming aware of our varied backgrounds and that of others in the group.
- Step-Up, Speak-Up: Discuss the impact we can all have on creating more inclusive environments no matter where we are in the hierarchy. Focus on "how" we can impact change daily.
Effective Communication
- Branding and Selling Yourself: Discover how effective branding, communication, and presence can result in becoming a successful organizational leader.
- Leading Without Authority: Develop collaborative negotiation skills that will allow you to influence others and lead change initiatives across your organization whether or not you have formal authority.

15.11.03 - By Carlos Kalinchuk: This afternoon at the Sunset Station in San Antonio Texas, as part of the Clash of The Titans fight card promoted by Oscar DelaHoya, all of Saturdays combatants participated in an open to the public weigh in. Although there were many fans on hand, the afternoon didnt really get started until emcee Steven Engelbrecht introduced HBOs Michael Buffer to the stage. Buffer went on to introduce Oscar DelaHoya and then followed it up with the introductions of main event fighters Manny Pacquiao 37-2-1 and Marco Antonio Barrera 57-3. Each fighter was flanked by his entourage and corner men. Marco weighed in first at 126 lbs even and Manny Pacquiao weighed in at an even 125 lbs. After Pacquiao weighed in he flexed his muscles for the crowd. A subtle gasp came out of some in the crowd when they saw the shape Pacquiao was in. He was extremely cut and ripped and the striations of his muscles could be seen from afar. Both fighters posed for the traditional pose and the shook hands and went their separate ways. Barrera and his trainer Rudy Perez selected his gloves for the fight and Freddie Roach selected Pacquiaos gloves for the fight. Both camps agreed to use Cleto Reyes gloves. Reyes gloves are said to be a punchers glove. Although we wont know until tomorrow, If the glove manufacturer is any indication that this fight could be an all out war, were in for a great fight!
The next fighters that were introduced were Jesse James Leija 44-6-2 and Fernando Mena 17-6-1. James weighed in at 142 ½ lbs and Mena weighed in at 142 ¾. Both looked to be in great shape.
Lightweights Roque Cassiani 21-14-2 and Miguel Huerta 17-6 (12 KOs) were also added to the card. Cassiani weighed in at 135 lbs and Huerta weighed in at 134 lbs.
Gabriel Elizondo 12-0 and his opponent Juan Soto 9-4 agreed to 116 ¾ lbs when Elizondo came in 1lb and ¼ overweight and when Soto weighed in at 116 ¾ lbs. Their fight was scheduled to be fought at 115 lbs.
Miguel Martin weighed in at 167 ¾ lbs. His opponent Sebastian Hill 8-5 weighed in overweight at 174 lbs. The head of the Texas Boxing Commission Dickie Cole gave him 2 hours to make weight. He weighed 2 hours later at 172 lbs even.
Undefeated Americo Santos 12-0 and Rudy Lundsford 12-25 weighed in at the agreed upon lightweight limit.
Oscar Andrade 33-22-1 and Julio Zarate weighed in at the Super Flyweight Limit.
The only female match of the night had to be cancelled when an opponent for Maribel Zurita 5-4-1 could not be found.

From Evan Rachel Wood's twitter… Apt and sad and great.
R.I.P. Mr. Williams.
From Evan Rachel Wood's twitter… Apt and sad and great.
R.I.P. Mr. Williams.
Two things that I've done recently that has transformed by waking days:
1) Turned off email notifications on my devices
Turning off the notification sounds for email is the single best decision I've made in a long time. I had gotten to a point where my anxiety, blood pressure and stress would rise with every new email sound. Email is truly the bane of modern day existence.
2) Turned off Bluetooth in the car
Our phones are dangerous distractions while driving. Period. There is no good reason to fiddle with them, in spite of all of handsfree options out there, when our attention should solely be on the road. Plus, the world still has much more to offer in front of us than on a screen. No matter the pixel resolution of our phones and tablets, real world viewing will always be better.
I had known of John Fasano for awhile, at least I knew the name, before I knew the man. Being in collectibles as long as I have, you would know it at some point. John was a film and television director, producer and writer. He was also an avid collector and enthusiast of all things entertainment and pop culture related.
John and his wife, Edie, attended Daniel Roebuck's Dr. Shocker's Vault of Horror premiere that we set up at the TCL Chinese Theatre last October. Not long afterward, John talked to me about working on his collection. It was a no-brainer. Of course, we would do it!
After several trips to John and Edie's home, we collected everything that was to be included in the auction: masks, toys, props, five decades' worth. But there was a King Kong vs. T-Rex bronze statue that John was keeping. He was simply not parting with it. So each time I visited I would tease John by saying that there was still room to add his prized sculpture. Each time he would sheepishly demurred. It was our running joke — our version of "as you wish."
In addition to working on the John Fasano collection, John also helped write the description for the Auction of the Apes catalog. He wrote the fantastic introduction, too. Then after that, he wrote the descriptions for the Disney Auction catalog. He was generous with his time, friendship and heart.
To say he left us too soon is a massive understatement. He had so much more to give, to strive and live for. We had work to do. Of course, I know how selfish I'm being — I want more of John Fasano. On the other hand, I could take solace in knowing that John has embarked on a new adventure, that he is pain-free and happy, that his work was finished here and that he has moved on to bigger and better. Maybe in a few months I could take on this mindset. Maybe in a few months I could truly appreciate, not lament, the short time I spent with him (and not kick myself for never asking if he actually wrote the line, "I'll be your huckleberry.") Later we will celebrate his life and work.
Right now it's too soon. Right now I feel a lost of giant proportions. There are no mixed emotions. There is but one: that of supreme sadness. Rest in peace, John. Your kindness, humor, wit and talents will be sorely missed.
We've been working on a Disney themed auction for quite some time now. It was last November that we broached the subject of working with the Disneyana Fan Club to do a live auction. It's been about eight months in the making, but we finally have a catalog.
Once again, because it's a live event we are have a time constraint. The event will take place at the Disneyana Convention on Friday, July 18 starting at 7pm. With a two to three hour window, we figured we could do about 100 to 150 lots. The final count for our catalog is 135.
We believe we have put together a well-rounded collection. There are posters, artwork, costumes, props, maquettes, theme park signage, attraction ride vehicles, award statues, plaques, autographs, books, animation cels, photos and decorative art pieces.
One of the more remarkable (in my humble opinion) items we have is a document from 1938 that was part of Inez Henderson's collection. Ms. Henderson was one of Walt Disney's personal secretaries. This document is a five page analysis written by Dorothy Ann Blank, who was one of the writers for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Walt Disney Studios's first feature length animation film. Walt Disney received an Academy Award for it.
The analysis, dated June 15, 1938, was an examination of a popular Hans Christian Anderson story called, "The Snow Queen." Dorothy Ann Blank was exploring the idea of adapting it into a cartoon feature. She and Disney had settled on the preliminary name, "The Ice Maiden." In her analysis, Ms. Blank states:
"The Chief reason that the story SNOW QUEEN seems an ideal subject for a cartoon feature is that it has, in addition to a definite plot, a strong underlying theme.
The plot needs tightening and, for our uses, cries out for the addition of comedy–but it is dramatically correct.
The theme is sound and universally appealing. THE SNOW QUEEN is one of Anderson's best known and most widely read tales."
Indeed, Anderson's original story does cry out for "the addition of comedy," as it is quite dark. Disney had by this time identified part of the formula that would help it create some of the most beloved animated films in entertainment history. Ms. Blank's final conclusion:
"The most valuable thing Anderson says in this little fairy tale, which is fanciful and fantastic at times, highly amusing at others, and occasionally deeply pathetic, is… No one is ever so lost that a simple, child-like faith cannot touch him…
No one can grow so old or so clever that something truly simple cannot make him see the true values of life… childhood is never really gone.
It is a great message of hope. If we could make a picture which would be, like Anderson's story, fanciful and fantastic, and put into it our own unique entertainment value spiced with high comedy–yet retain this underlying theme–I think we would have made something truly fine."
This movie that Dorothy Ann Blank was hoping to make in 1938 went through a rigorous and exhaustive process that saw revisions after revisions. In fact, Disney encountered tremendous difficulty with the original story, particularly with relating the Snow Queen character to modern audiences, despite the cinematic possibilities that the animators saw.
Disney did managed to find a solution many years later, even if it meant deviating drastically from the original fairy tale. The movie Disney finally made and released in 2013 — 75 years from the date of Dorothy Ann Blank's analysis! — went on to become the highest grossing animation film in history and won two Academy Awards, for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song ("Let it Go" — yes, that song!). That movie, of course, is Frozen.
This historic document is fascinating in that it sheds light on the fact that Disney had a "formula." Dorothy Ann Blank overtly states it — "our own unique entertainment value" — albeit this document was probably meant for internal use only. It is clear that Disney had a process and the company adheres to it vigilantly to produce some of the most memorable cartoons ever. But it is also obvious, considering how vast the Disney empire is now, that there is a company philosophy that extends beyond animated features. If one look closely at the foundational conception of Disneyland and other Disney properties, the values, customer service tradition, and vision that Walt Disney instilled are clearly still on display.
1. Many people — mostly Americans — equate this day with freedom. That is understandable. It is a day of many symbols and freedom was very much an idea that was espoused by the Founding Fathers. Hence, the Bill of Rights.
However, to me, this day is really about sacrifice. We enjoy the many freedoms that we have today because of the sacrifice that people before us undertook. The early settlers, the Revolutionaries, the civil rights activists, my parents, their parents, the servicemen and women that serve our country now… and many other people around the world who engage tirelessly to do good, noble work.
2. The Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest. This might be the furthest thing on the minds of the Founding Fathers. Joey Chestnut scarfed down 61 hotdogs in 10 minutes. I'm not sure if the entire Germany soccer team could eat that many franks. And if you need reminding of what hotdogs are really made of, read this.
3. While I enjoy fireworks in controlled environments, I am not a fan of unruly neighbors lighting off dangerous explosives in the backyard. The Constitution protects many rights of the citizens, but stupidity isn't one of them. That's where Darwin comes in.
4. Benjamin Franklin is by far my favorite Founder. He was a polymath. He did it all and he did it all well. He's on the hundred dollar bill, where he deservingly belongs. He was the "First American." In fact, he was an American, advocating for the colonies and defining the American ideals, before there was formally an America. He had wit and charm in abundance. And he was smart enough to never have held any major political office. If he was alive now, he would be great on Twitter.
In working on the Apes auction, I have learned a lot. Besides now knowing more about the Planet of the Apes franchise than I did a month ago, the Apes project was a harsh lesson in business. As anyone who owns his or her own business knows, you are always learning. In fact, you never cease to learn. Because learning is adapting and if you do not learn and adapt, you do not survive.
Some of the lessons that I was grateful enough to learn? Well, for one: it's your business. That's key. Don't let someone else dictate when, how and with whom you do business. Secondly, while everyone deserves a second chance in life, there are no do-overs in business. Heed the early signs. If someone makes one excuse, they will make another and another and will continue to make excuses until you stop them. Lastly, don't wait until the other party makes a move, especially when they have been stalling or wavering. Be proactive. Always. Be like Caesar. The Ape leader, not the Roman who was stabbed 23 times.
It's hard to believe, but Cantonese is a dying language. In our streamlining civilizational mentality, everything is converging and/or merging. Big businesses are getting bigger by gobbling up other big businesses. Governments are unionizing. Everything is on a global scale now. Telecoms, technologies, governments, culture and, yes, languages are all seemingly on a path of convergence.
This is neither good nor bad. It's just is. In the case of Cantonese, however, there is a personal element for me. Here to do my small part in an effort of preservation, I want to share the following from the Cantonese Resources blog:
"Do one thing every day that scares you," said Eleanor Roosevelt.
That is one of the best advice I've heard. I have tried to do that, although inconsistently. Usually it's something small and rather trivial. But practice does usually make perfect, and after awhile the fear dissipates and you realize there was nothing to be afraid of to begin with.
Not only that: fear can turn habitual. Because it's easy. Because it's convenient. Because it's safe. Conversely, courage can be practiced, too. It's more difficult, because there is accountability, unlike succumbing to fear. There is such a thing as debilitating fear, but that's where taking small steps can help.
"Do one thing every day that scares you."
Start small and, maybe, something trivial. Make it a habit. Eventually you won't even think about it.
Two years ago, I quit a job of almost 14 years. It was a frightful decision. The few months following that decision, I had moments of doubt, as anyone would, I think. However, at some point, I realized I had stopped thinking "what if." By then I had new tasks in front of me. By then I had jumped into something new. I was too busy paving the road in front to look at the receding path behind.
Now I can't even imagined not making that decision. I had to. I needed to. Whether I'm better off financially or otherwise is a matter of perceptive, of course. All I know is I am not done with what I need to do now. Chances are I will probably be doing something new not too far into the distant. By then I won't be looking back at right now either.

Eugène Atget — Fontaine de Mars, 1903. Googling for "Atget" reveals a lot of century-old photographs of Paris, which are of some interest to the time tourist who is already familiar with today's city. This fountain hasn't changed in 200 years; nearby we now have a restaurant which got recently famous when Obama and his family went there for dinner.

The new Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club has the kids, space and planned activities ŌĆö but it's still missing a very important ingredient.
The club, which opened this summer, is the newest and one of the biggest clubs of its kind in Texas. Within its walls, there are rooms for dance and music lessons, video games and other activities designed for local children.
But most of those rooms are darkened and unused right now for a very important reason ŌĆö there aren't any volunteers to man them.
Activities Director Greg Pridemore said the club has only four paid staff members to watch over the more than 70 children who participate in after-school activities at the club each day. That number, is woefully insufficient.
ŌĆ£There's just not any money in the budget for more paid staff,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£What we really need is volunteers. We mainly need volunteers for a couple of hours in the afternoon ŌĆ" and we've had to cut some of our programs for now because we just don't have any volunteers.ŌĆØ
Because of the lack of volunteers, there is no one to oversee the music room, or to direct dance classes, or to manage the workout room and other areas. Right now, only the gymnasium and foyer areas are being fully utilized.
Pridemore said he is looking for people to help in the neglected areas, but expertise in music, dance or other disciplines is not necessarily a requirement.
ŌĆ£We want someone who is interested in kids, preferably someone who is willing to teach a class or an activity, such as dance,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£And it would be great if we could get someone who could help with music and arts and crafts, but anyone would be a help right now.
ŌĆ£But they have to like kids,ŌĆØ Pridemore added. ŌĆ£We don't want just anybody off the streets. Some of these kids come from very diverse backgrounds ŌĆö single-mother homes, single-father homes, homes where they're being raised by their grandparents, situations like that. These kids cover the spectrum; we have everything in here.ŌĆØ
During the school year, volunteers are needed only for a couple of hours in the afternoon, mostly between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Persons interested in helping out should contact the Boys and Girls Club at 264-7344.

'Parenthood' Issues: 'You Dyed Your Hair?!'
On last night's season finale of "Parenthood," Adam and Kristina Braverman FREAKED OUT when their 15-year-old daughter, Haddie, unexpectedly dyed her hair. It has us chatting around the office: Would you freak out, too?
So, a lot has happened to poor Haddie during this seaon of "Parenthood" -- I mean, her cousin did sleep with her (kind of) ex-boyfriend. And as a result, Haddie decided to become a new woman and dye her hair from mousy brown to bold and black. Her parents, Adam and Kristina, of course freaked -- not only because she dyed her hair, but because she didn't tell them first. (What teens do you know who would tell their parents first?)
On the show, it (of course) launched a family discussion as to what this hair-color change could possibly indicate about Haddie's social life. Is she sleeping around? Doing drugs? Skipping school?
How would you react in the Bravermans' shoes?
Kids do that type of thing. Nothing to get all up in arms about.
Wow. I was 14 when I first dyed my hair and my mom helped me. I don't know if she would have been upset if I had dyed it without telling her first. I had (have) enough respect to tell her and she chose to help me. I have a cool mom. (I'm 30 now btw)
Right? I was 14 when I first dyed my hair and my mom helped me. Guess I just have a cool mom. I wasn't sleeping around, skipping school or doing anything like that. It's silly to assume a teenager is going to be doing all sorts of bad stuff just because they dyed their hair. BTW, I'm 30 now and I'm married with kids. Dying my hair at 14 didn't pave a way to a drug filled life!
Yeah….I'd think nothing of it. So what if my 15 year old dyed her hair? It's just hair. It'll grow out. No biggie!
I remember begging my mom to let me dye my hair. She said I had to wait until 16. Then her and her friend helped me dye it red.. but not long after I went for pitch black without telling her. Uhm yeah, she freaked out.
As for what was going on in my social life. That's right about the time I started being bad and doing a whole lot of thing I shouldn't.
I have seen ppl that dye their kids hair when they're like 10. I think it's ridiculous and I'd never let me kids do that. Ever.
Students' studying process requires perfect writing skills, however, university students, which are short of time can fail their success. Hence, to purchase the good essay at the dissertation writer writing service will be a correct solution.
Eh, I was a teen in the 80's. We all changed haircolors and weird haircuts almost weekly. Usually my mom just rolled her eyes and said nothing. It did not lead to anything like drugs or anything. It is just hair.
I would think nothing of it. As long as it was a normal color like black or brown. And nothing like red, orange or green. No problem. I did this when I was a teen. I wanted to dye my hair and my mother said no. I found out from a friend that you could dye it from using peroxide. So I tried it and it came out like a honey blonde to a reddish brown. When my mother saw it she didn't really get upset. But she didn't quite like the color it came out. Then she had the nerve to say " if you wanted to dye it all you had to do was tell me." Very upset because I did ask and she said no. Then my hair fell out …. it was so short I could barely make twig of a ponytail.
On the show, it (of course) launched a family discussion as to what this hair-color change could possibly indicate about Haddie's social life. Is she sleeping around? Doing drugs? Skipping school?

She's baaaaaack. This is actually the last photo set I have of this cute and high little horndog, but there are plenty more of her that grace our pages. In case you don't remember, she can be found here, here and here. This isn't my favorite set of hers, but she's still looking absolutely dee-lish. Plus, you have got to love a girl shows so much enthusiasm when protein is dripping from her face.
There's nothing more to share on the story side. As far as I know she's still Matt's ex girlfriend and she's probably doing these same things with another lucky dude(sorry Matt, but it's probably true), or maybe unlucky depending how you look at it. I know I would feel pretty lucky if I were on top of her, like in picture #5. Either way, thanks for sharing all the photos Matt!

About the Opossum (Didelphis Virginiana)
Commonly called "possum", these marsupials are typically found throughout North America. Though they vary in size, opossums are about the same size as the common house cat. The opposum has been tagged the "opportunistic omnivore", eating everything from carrion to garbage and roadkill, though it should be noted that the possum has an incredible immune system to tolerate this diet.

Spring Vegetable Minestrone
I like to think of this soup as a transitional dish; still warming and satisfying on a chilly day, but light and full of the first green vegetables of the spring season. This easy to make version of minestrone is garnished with a little Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. You could add some chopped, fresh soft herbs as well to enhance the green character of the soup. The beans are cooked completely and added to the soup with the chopped vegetables. I didn't include pasta in my minestrone (which may raise questions of authenticity), but you certainly could; use small shapes such as shells or tubes, and cook them before adding, at the last moment, to the soup. With some good bread, this soup will make a great lunch or light dinner.
Spring Vegetable Minestrone
(makes about 8 servings)
Heat in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt over the vegetables and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Do not allow the mixture to brown. Add:
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
5 thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
Cook for 5 minutes longer. Add, and bring to a boil:
3 cups homemade (or canned, low-sodium) chicken stock
When boiling, add:
2 small leeks, diced
Simmer for 10 minutes then add:
1 cup peas
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked cannellini or borlotti beans (from 1 cup dried beans)
1 cup reserved bean cooking liquid (if using canned beans, simply add additional stock or water)
Simmer for another 5 minutes then add:
2 cups spinach leaves. coarsely chopped
Simmer until the spinach has wilted, then check and correct the seasoning of the soup. Add additional liquid if it seems too thick. Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems and serve the soup, each bowl garnished with:
A drizzle of olive oil
A tablespoon or so of grated Parmesan cheese

American Capital Agency Corp.'s Dividend Range Scenarios For Q3 2014
Scott Kennedy • Wed, Sep. 10 • 45 Comments
- This article provides a detailed analysis of AGNC's dividend range scenarios for the third quarter of 2014.
- AGNC should continue the company's recent approach of matching quarterly ERTI and net dollar roll to dividend distributions.
- AGNC has implied all net dollar roll income generated from the company's net long TBA MBS position would be an added component to dividend distributions when favorable business conditions persist.
- My exact AGNC, MTGE, and NLY dividend per share projections for the third quarter of 2014 are stated near the end of the article.
- My current buy, sell, or hold recommendation for AGNC, MTGE, and NLY is stated in the "Conclusions Drawn" section of the article.

Dr. Johannes Riegler
PhD Title:
PhD Abstract:
Magnetic cell delivery is a potential technology which might allow realising these premises. The major advantage of magnetic delivery compared to other delivery strategies is the ability to spatially localise entities in the body via externally applied magnetic fields. However, the fast decline of these fields with increasing distances is posing a major challenge for its in vivo application.
The aim of this thesis was to investigate potential magnetic delivery approaches which can circumvent some of the typical limitations of this technique. Two different approaches were explored to this end. The first approach was evaluating the feasibility of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to steer labelled cells in arteries. Such an approach could take advantage of the imaging capabilities of magnetic resonance systems and combine these with steering to interactively guide cells or other entities of interest to a target area.
The second approach was addressing the feasibility of theoretical optimisations and the scalability of experimental results. For that, human MRI data was used to derive geometrical models of the blood vessels to which cells were to be delivered in this scenario. Finite element modelling was then used to explore potential magnet arrangements with the aim to maximise the force acting on cells over all target vessels. The best performing arrangement was then used for computational fluid dynamics simulations to test the possibility of cell capture from the flowing blood stream. Finally the possibility to scale-down such an arrangement to the dimensions of an animal model without changing the forces acting on cells was investigated.
Cells have to be labelled with magnetic materials in order to allow their magnetic actuation. This magnetic materials cause a distinctive contrast on MRI images. The potential of this imaging modality for cell tracking has been illustrated with an in vivo example for cell tracking in a rat heart and an in vitro example for a tissue engineering application.
Experiments with a preclinical MRI system illustrated the feasibility of cell steering with MRI indicating that such an approach could be useful for magnetic cell delivery. Computational models for the evaluation of magnet arrangements allowed the in-silico assessment of their potential and could be used to improve the experimental design of pre-clinical studies.

Topic - Accident on High Level Traverse, Pillar, 27 Oct 2012
summitjunkie - on 30 Oct 2012
Just a quick shoutout and immense thank you to the rescue services involved in recovering my injured friend, Andy, from the High Level (Climbers/Shamrock) Traverse between Pillar Rock and Looking Stead on Saturday evening.
Cockermouth MRT arrived rapidly and exhibited great professionalism and kindness throughout. Especial thanks to Chris and Ian who ferried us to Black Sail after. The crew of the Sea King from RAF Valley were also excellent. The pilot must have massive cojones to have hovered continuously for almost thirty minutes so close to the rockface as Andy was prepped whilst a sleet filled hoolie was blowing and gusting at 40mph.
Additional thanks to Martin and Suzy at the Black Sail YH for kindly pressing mugs of tea into our hands and finding us beds at such short notice.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Me personally, im no "Omgebusprohax" guy; but i do linger around the 100~160 spots on the leaderboard. I major in the darkside (You know, the giant machine that everyone hits because its giant?) and i can give you some pointers with that.
1. NEVER run out of boost.
: Your nitro is your second lifeline. As soon as you run out, you are a sitting target. Its blood slow, and without its boost its figurativly sitting still. When it boosts, its equal, if not almost faster than the meatwagon.
2. Know when to fall back
: Being caught in a multi-team (which happens A LOT to the point of blood-bursting frustration) can lave you helpless if you get pinned. Around 1/2~1/3 of health is a good time to leg it, because most people will stalk you to the end then leg it as soon as you find your salvation.
3: Your Turbo ram is FAST
: Your special ram moves as fast as the Crimson Fury at its top speeds. use this to its full limits.
4: Your sides are your blind spots.
: Always keep your rear, or front to your target. Being nailed on the side can mean downright screw ups if your not careful.
5: Use your god **bleep** handbrake.
: this monster has almost no turning speed. Use the handbrake often, or you will find yourself grinding against the walls.
6: Watch out for tiny baby men.
: (TF2 Reference) Small cars can litterally be ramps. You may find yourself airborn if you ram a death warrent or a kamikazi, and that can mean you being flat on your **bleep** on a map like Diablo Pass or LA Skyline.
7: Tiny traffic is bad
: Running over too many civilians is bad for your treads. You will often find yourself caught on a single-mother's minivan while plowing through the Diesil City highway, which will leave you immoble till you can get off of that stupid car.
8: Rickochettes are big pains.
: Getting knock on your face is even worse in a darkside. its heavy build and rectangular shape makes it difficult to upright, espceially in a combat situation.
Well, thats all im going to give you. I dont want all the secrets going out. And besides, the only person i want defeating me is PlatinumPlayer2. Only guy to outdo me on a darkside 1v1 that i've seen. Kudo's to him.
Bestdarksidefriendsforever o uo
its important to be a curtious and chivillrus playe rin TM. Respect and support are sure to follow.
Health stealing from other friendlies is a pretty **bleep** move, especially if you dont need it.
Gloating is not recommended. Unless you want to look like a douchewagon,
Being proud you won, and being cocky have two separate levels of "Pride"
Leaving games to keep a "100%" is pathetic. And word gets around quickly on who rages and who dosnt. (I dont, proudly)
And always remember, Juggernauts never fir in health Semis.
Hahaha juggernaut and health semis. Respect is always important,especially in Team Deathmatch. DON'T BE A POACHER. Only poach if you see your teammate needs help, as in, he runs out of weapons, or can't keep up with his target If you see an opportunity to help your teammate out of a shorthanded situation (2 on 1, etc) help him out. IDontEatBabies and I were really good with all of the aboon the the same team today. We usually combined for 20 plus kills, with me and him finishing kills. We even saved each other from deaths adew times. So, lesson here is, USE YOUR TEAMMATES TO HELP YOU. Don't be selfish and arrogant.
You won't learn from reading what others do... It's best to see it for yourself. My offer to tutor you one on one is starting to slip. Up to you whether you wish to learn or not, but I am technically one of the few, if there are even others, that can outright help you out.
IDontEatBabies, please quit rejecting those clan invites... I'd really really like to... ummm--you know "add" you since I think you're a pretty cool, legit fellow that would be helpful to this clan. But, you keep rejecting it (like most everyone does end up doing too)...
I appreciate the invite; thought I assume this is the wrong place to do it (But that flickity controller dosnt type as fast as 2 hands); but I'm a little more freelance. I've never been the committed fellow. Commitment-ADD or something; not sure.
But easily I can get a good... 2, 3 hours of clan time before legging it to go off solo again. I've never been committed to a clan (Probably doing nothing and reading the board) ; understand that. This is like the... 30th or so invite; so by now I'm just going 'click-deny'
But truly; do not get my wrong. I've seen you play; and by god its a pain in the **bleep** to play you; especially in my 7 foot hunk of target practice that I call my Darkside.
But it would be easier to find a more willing individual with more heart; than one who simply could not care anymore than a butterfly cares about traffic.
o uo
With Pleasureable Regards-
BabyEater IDontEatBabies
It's cool.
I just thought you were playing hard to get. There are some people that play that kind of scheme and constantly do that kind of thing.
Technically, I respect you a lot for how you play and I feel you'd make a great addition. But, if you don't wish to join, then it's totally fine. Would've loved getting you since you'd probably give us some nice new options.
And yeah, i enjoy playing you too. Sorry for the hard times, I pretty much fight offensively against the heaviest thing my Reaper can find.

And some are families of 8," says Clark.It's numbers like that, that Clark says is causing a shortage of food here."18,000 pounds gone in a month," says Clark.It's not just here, but at other pantries in town, all seeing the same thing."We don't have any big food drives in the summer months," says Clark.So they are counting on the community to help."Some weeks, we don't have enough fruit or cereal, so we have to go according to food items," says Clark.For the first time this year, the pantry has a garden located just feet from their doors. Every fruit and vegetable grown from here, will help fill the shelves in there."During the summer months we grow a lot of extra stuff," says Clark.Clark says food from the ground has really helped."If it wasn't for people being so generous with the gardens, I don't know what we'd do," says Clark.And as the number of hungry stomachs continues to grow here in the region,the pantry hopes the growing support will continue.

Two giants are combining forces to help solve a very important problem: commercial ratings for viewing that takes place on iPads and mobile devices.
Nielsen has systems in place to measure on-demand and online viewing, but C3 ratings for tablets have been the missing piece of the puzzle, said Matthew Strauss, senior VP-digital and emerging platforms at Comcast.
Comcast is looking for an industry solution and is working with other providers to help set the bar. The project is slated to begin this summer.
It's hard to say how quickly a solution will arise but I would guess tablet engagement with advertisements is exceptionally higher than the conventional television. If true, the advancements will help steer strategic planning for advertisers everywhere.

Rehab and Rest Have Tyrell on TrackSubmitted by chad on April 15, 2009 - 14:54
Tampa Bay Lightning draft pick ahead of schedule in recovery from December knee injury
It wasn't the way he envisioned spending his winter months, but Dana Tyrell is making the best of a bad situation and is hoping to hit the ice this summer stronger than ever.
After completely tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and partially tearing the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during a Dec. 18 World Junior exhibition game against Sweden, Tyrell has taken to the arduous task of rehabbing the knee with his trademark hard working approach.
The soon-to-be 20-year-old has been working on the knee with a Hockey Canada physiotherapist at Canada Olympic Park, along with his trainer of over two years, Doug Crashley.
"My (physiotherapist) says it's ahead of schedule so things are moving along quickly,†Tyrell said after a recent morning workout session at COP. "It's a six month recovery, but I've seen guys I've been training with in here that are at a five month point and I'm ahead of them already.â€

A family memoir about a Second World War love affair between a Calgary woman and a Norwegian pilot picked up the $10,000 Alberta Readers' Choice Award on Friday night.
Almost a Great Escape: a Found Story by Calgarian Tyler Trafford was also awarded the Wilfrid Eggleston Award for non-fiction on Friday, when 200 authors gathered to celebrate Alberta's literary achievements at the Fairmont
Palliser Hotel. Trafford's book will also receive the City of Calgary's W.O. Mitchell Award next Wednesday.
The Alberta Readers' Choice Award is one of North America's richest literary prizes and is voted on by the public through the Edmonton Public Library. Fiction and narrative non-fiction titles by Alberta authors are eligible.
This year, Trafford's book went up against Todd Babiak's Come Barbarians, Diana Davidson's Pilgrimage, Michael Hingston's The Dilettantes and Theresa Shea's The Unfinished Child.
Almost a Great Escape traces the relationship between Trafford's mother, Alice Tyler, and Jens Muller, a Norwegian pilot who famously escaped the Nazi prisoner-of-war camp, Stalag Luft III.
The 1963 film The Great Escape was loosely based on his story.
The relationship between the two was unknown to Tyler's family.
After she passed away in 2004, she left a box of letters and photographs to her son, who eventually pieced together the story. The award was given out as part of The Writers' Guild of Alberta's 2014 Calgary Conference. The Guild presented its Alberta Literary Awards. The Book Publishers Association of Alberta also presented its Alberta Book Publishing Awards.

NYT: Small Space Inspiration
West Village Eye Candy. Featured in the New York Times Magazine the West Village home of architect Ghiora Aharoni will surely leave you wanting to see more (or at most a floorplan!) of the well-edited and thoughtful space. Space Craft tells of Aharoni's space-saving tricks and work-arounds in his 550-square-foot apartment...
In addition to dropping some ceilings for added storage and keeping bookcases off the floor to open up the floor, Aharoni installed emerald trees in planter boxes outside the main room's four windows. This is a wonderful trick in the city (if your building will allow it) to create a barrier of green.
We also really like the small one-armed loveseat in the first photo. This is likely a portion of a sectional, sold individually.
This space reminds us of Nate Berkus's space he shared on Oprah — very similar layout and also in the West Village. We've shown you about half the photos here, so be sure to check out the slideshow.

so simple, and beautiful, the white walls glow in the photographs.interesting, i only saw two lamps, a tolomeo in the bedroom and a noguchi in the livingroom.
Totally in lust with his floors and the Egyptian head.
I am lusting over the whole place: serene, calm, classy, collected, well edited and with these unobtrusive ethnic pieces. It's all in line with my ideal place should like... with some more white added :)
... all in line with what my ideal place should look like...
oh my god
I like the gigantic red bloomers on the wall.
bajeezus! i'm in full admiration mode.
Simply perfect.
I'm putting it in what passes for my Style Tray for the bookcase solution.
Anyone know where the Egyptian head is from? I don't think it's a Met repro...
I've had the Times Magazine open to this page on my kitchen table since it came this weekend. Can't bring myself to close it.
i love the book storage. very clever. very cozy.
Does anyone know where to find shades like those?
This place is breathtaking. What a talented man! I love that he manages to have so many books, and that they are a design element instead of visual clutter.
nash, they look like mesh shades that can be ordered in various degrees of transparency. they block the view in during daylight hours but permit the view out. you can order them here in new york at janovic plaza and conran shop on 59th.
in love

Oregon coach Chip Kelly is considering using all-purpose running back De'Anthony Thomas at cornerback this Saturday against Stanford, reports OregonLive.com.
Once the nation's No. 1 CB prospect for the class of 2011 — and one that rejected an offer to play the position at hometown school USC — Thomas' elite athleticism alone makes him a capable candidate to contribute to the Ducks' secondary.
This could serve well for Kelly's back four, which has been through a lot of turmoil as of late. Veteran cornerbacks Troy Hill and Dion Mathis, as well as safety Avery Patterson are out due to injuries.
By making the transition to a position he hasn't played in two years, there is a significant concern for injury to Thomas as well. But that's a risk Oregon seems willing to take, especially versus a team that has a quarterback who is making just his second collegiate start.
Thomas, who splits time with Kenjon Barner in the backfield, has been utilized in many different areas. Through 10 games this season, he has 1,301 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns off 125 touches.
That's 10.4 yards per touch and a score for every 10.4 touches.
If I'm Stanford, I'm not throwing the ball his way — if Thomas gets his hands on an interception, statistics show that it's probably going to be returned for some points.
