I want to be brave.
Sometimes i hate myself for no reason.
I hate how after an argument, i think about more clever words i could of said.
I hate how after i did something stupid, i think about more clever act i could of did.
I'm going on 17 but i don't feel mature enough to be on that age next year. I'm still a child. I think i'm strong enough but the real thing is, i'm still too weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. God please help me… I want to be a strong woman, i want to be strong for my friends & family. I want to protect the people i love. I want to be wise. Help……..
"Because when i let a day go by without talking to you, that day is just no good."
Oh man this is a cliche. Daaaaaamn.
Was just listening to Gotye-Somebody That I Used To Know then i checked the full lyrics. A few of the lyrics didn't fit in me but it's like 85% suit me in my current life. Fuck.

Good novels with interesting plot of story?
Laptop with fast internet connection?
Sketchbook; while your passion to draw or doodle is too high?
DVDs of great movies that you missed from the cinema?
Addictive game from your iPhone; and your friend has beaten your highscore?
Lay down on your bed with plenty of snacks and hot coffee?
Hard to say it, but… I choose my lesson book. Goodbye all the interesting things… :(

Penelope Leach
|Penelope Leach
|Penelope Jane Balchin
19 November 1937
Hampstead, London
|Gerald Leach (m. 1963; wid. 2004)
|Nigel & Elizabeth Balchin nee Walshe
Penelope Jane Leach (born 19 November 1937), née Balchin, is a British psychologist who writes extensively on parenting issues from a child development perspective.
Leach is best known for her book Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five, published in 1977, which has sold over two million copies to date. Leach notes in the introduction to that book: "Whatever you are doing, however you are coping, if you listen to your child and to your own feelings, there will be something you can actually do to put things right or make the best of those that are wrong."
Early career[edit]
Born in Hampstead, London,[1] she is the daughter of Nigel Balchin, the novelist and screenwriter. She graduated from Newnham College, Cambridge with honours in 1959. After Cambridge, she attended the London School of Economics, where she received her PhD in psychology and lectured on child development. Her research positions have included a year in the Home Office Research Unit studying juvenile crime and six years at the Medical Research Centre Developmental Research Unit. Leach is a fellow of the British Psychological Society and was previously President of the National Childminding Association.
Books and Media[edit]
Your Baby and Child[edit]
Leach's most popular work is Your Baby and Child, which appeared in extensively revised versions in 1988 and 1997. The most recent third edition of the book is divided into five major sections, covering newborns, "settled babies," "older babies," toddlers, and "young children." Each section includes information on expected developmental milestones and patterns in the areas of sleep, eating, "crying and comforting," speech, and physical growth. The book's central thesis is to illuminate "the successive tasks of development with which [children] are involved, the kinds of thought of which they are capable and the extremes of emotion that carry them along" because "the happier you can make your baby, the more you will enjoy being with her, and the more you enjoy her, the happier she will be."
The popularity of Your Baby and Child led to a television series of the same name on Lifetime, which Leach wrote and hosted. The show won a CableACE Award and was nominated for an Emmy.
Other works[edit]
- Babyhood (1974, rev. 1983) is a treatment of academic research on child development presented for a lay audience.
- Your Growing Child (1986), originally published as The Child Care Encyclopedia, is a medical reference book for parents.
- The First Six Months: Getting Together With Your Baby (1986) takes a similar approach to Your Baby and Child, with a special emphasis on the newborn.
- Children First: What Society Must Do --- And Is Not Doing --- For Children Today (1994) is a polemic suggesting large-scale social initiatives to end child poverty and homelessness, and to enable parents to spend more time with their children.
- Child Care Today (Alfred A. Knopf, 2009)[2]
Leach has also produced several home videos (Becoming a Family, Baby to Toddler, and 'Toddler to Child') as well as a play called Snap Happy that toured schools to teach conflict resolution to preschool and school-aged children.
Current projects[edit]
Leach's major current project is directing a large-scale United Kingdom project on the longitudinal effects of various forms of daycare and childcare on children and their parents. She also serves on the curriculum board for Sesame Street and writes parenting advice columns for several publications, including Junior Magazine and the website BabyCenter.
Leach has been criticised for her view that young children require one-on-one attention, ideally provided by mothers, and which cannot be provided in day-care.[3] Criticism has chiefly been directed towards (a) Leach's purported idolising of mothers and difficulty giving fathers equal importance, perhaps because of unresolved trauma in her past,[4] and (b) the lack of scientific evidence to support Leach's opposition to child-care that is not provided by mothers.[5]
Leach has also been heavily criticised for being 'anti-fathers' specifically for stating in her book Your Baby & Child: From Birth To Age Five that only mothers can provide adequate care for a young child and that the father's role is necessarily secondary.
Upon the release of her book Family Breakdown Leach was criticised for saying that there was 'undisputed evidence' that sleepovers with a divorced father can cause 'emotional damage' to a young child. Leach restated this position in print and on television.
This view has been vigorously disputed, particularly by Professors Richard Warshak and Linda Nielsen in a report endorsed by 110 childcare specialists from around the world published in the February 2014 issue of Psychology, Public Policy and Law, a journal of the American Psychological Association.[6]
The second daughter of the novelist Nigel Balchin, in 1963 she married the science journalist Gerald A. Leach (1933–2004). Their children are:

This is a slideshow of images captured Jan. 20, 2012 starting about 2:55 p.m.
A juvenile eagle visited the nest and after looking around for several minutes began to rearrange the sticks in the nest.
About 3:07 p.m., the juvenile reacted to something nearby and flew onto a branch next to the nest. It appeared that an adult eagle was nearby and soon after, two adult eagles landed in the nest and the juvenile flew away.
After spending less than one minute in the nest, the adult eagles began to rearrange the sticks which the visitor had just moved around.
The female remained in the nest while the male perched on a nearby branch.

Is there any way for me to fix the RomanD font (AutoCAD 2013) to replace the segments that make up the "curves" in the letters with actual curves? Or has someone already done this and made it available? I did find a version of Simplex.shx that was amended this way. The included image shows them side by side. I would be interested in finding other fonts as well. I'm using 3/16" RomanD in my drawings, and it does not look good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried downloading a RomanD TTF file. It looks exactly like the SHX file. Am I doing something wrong?
No, I meant get away from these stick fonts from Autodesk altogether, use real TTF fonts like you use in your professional letters and correspondence (ARIAL etc.).
TTFs of SHX fonts are identical and amateurish, they only exist because AutoCAD's MTEXT can't display SHX correctly, they are not cleaner or smoother.

Philippians 3:14 – I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
God, through the Apostle Paul is calling us to let go of the past. Let' listen to what Paul said concerning his past. Philippians 3:13 – Brothers, I, for my part, do not think of myself as having yet gotten hold of it; but one thing I do: forgetting what is behind me and reaching forward toward what lies ahead.
Scripture declares in Psalm 37:23 "Steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down for the Lord upholds him with his hand".
Paul says we are to reach for those things which are before us. We only do that by refocusing our thinking on God's word, which in return refocus our vision to God's vision for our lives.
Spiritual growth can only be obtained in the stretch beyond what is our comfort zone.
There is a Prize to be Won! We are exhorted to run the race in 1 corinthians 9:24 – Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Hebrews 12:1-3 -Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
In the midst of a chaotic world, trouble on every hand, Paul reminds us that there is a higher calling than what we see with our natural eyes. There is a prize to be won! Victory in Christ Jesus. We can only grasp the vision of it if our eyes are on Christ Jesus.
Perhaps you are reading this blog and think that you may me too old or it is too late for you to start the race. No, it is never to late as long as you have breath in your body. If you look throughout the bible, you will see where many of the runners started out at a very late age. One example is Moses, who was 80 years old when God called him to enter the race. I was called to run this Christian race in April 1998 at the age of 40 years old.
We must keep pressing forward. Why? Looking back is not an option for the believer.
Remember Lot's wife? she looked back and turned to a pillar of salt.
Can we honestly say that we are putting forth every effort to reach the goal? Remember, there is a prize to be won. Will you win? It is up to you! With God on our side, we can make it. Philippians 4:13-I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
REMEMBER: Keep pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. There is a prize to be won. Keep it moving forward becasue looking back is not an option for you.
God bless and do tell the Lord thank you for giving you the patience to stay in the race and the strength to be able to run it.
I love you all with the love of Christ.

The Spring Cure: Before & After Graduation Photos!
Show & Tell
• Cure Clock: Nothin' left! You did it!
• Assignment: Complete the graduation form below so we can see what you've done!
Over the last several weeks, we've been seeing amazing transformation in homes across the country, wait — scratch that, we mean across the world! We've had a blast walking through the process with you each week and it's been amazing to see the changes occur in your spaces. After the jump we have 15 before and after photos of some great Cure participants who were willing to share their accomplishments with us all. Haven't sent yours in yet? Well what are you waiting for?! We need them all by tomorrow night! Now, on with the show and tell!
For those who are still needing to send us photos click the link below to be magically whisked away to the submission form. We would love to represent as many people, homes and Cure makeovers as possible, so don't be shy!
First Row, Left To Right
• Christine had a low budget, but was determined to makeover her bathroom. The changes are quite dramatic and what once was a little blah is now designer chic, check out the full bathroom tour!
• Abby made great strides by raising the curtain height in the room as well as adding lighting throughout the space. Great transformation, nice job!
• Lori Anderson has been given this space a complete makeover from color choices to linens. The best part is that the only thing she purchased was the roller to get painting done. Everything else was found in her home in other rooms!
• Kelly has been working all over the house, but some of the most important changes are happening in the bathroom. She's almost done, can you help her decide on a wall color?
• Nicolezh made great strides in the bedroom. She rearranged the floor plan for better flow and also added in extra lighting. She's looking to take this space from just ok, to wow! Do you have any suggestions?
Second Row, Left To Right
• Robin has recently moved and before doing so, sold all her furniture that she wasn't in love with. This is what the place looked like before she moved in and the pieces she's added since living there. Check out those handmade curtains!
• Ninakk tackled the closet with great gusto! Not only are there defined storage areas, but there's also light!
• Erica has a small space and completely changed the flow of traffic, changing up furniture and installing that spectacular lighting find we featured a few weeks ago!
• Joymich is expecting a new addition to the family. This Cure they're lofted home office has transformed into a lovely nursery, perfect for any newcomer into this big world!
• Hunted has an amazing office transformation that's been completed by the addition of model ships on clear shelves on the wall. Such a fun room to catch a view of the neighborhood or get some work done!
Third Row, Left To Right
• CrocodileAnnie literally had us saying "No way that's the same room!" when we came across these before and after photos. She asked for your thoughts earlier on in The Cure and here's how the space turned out. Well done indeed!!
• Terri D had a hodge podge of things in this space before the Cure. After it's a great place to catch up on some reading and display cherished treasures.
• Natasha hasn't lived in her home but just a few short months. With 3 kids under foot, she's done amazing work throughout the entire home to bring about great transformation. Job well done!
• Amber now has a warm and inviting space that she enjoying hanging out in. Out with the old and in with the new!
• Adam took on the bathroom this Cure and things are now sunny and fresh with fabulous new accents to boot!

Oh wow, it's even more impressive with the pre and post pics beside each other.
I can't believe it's all over! Huge relief and some emptiness as well. Thanks to each and everyone who has participated by writing articles here and posting photos on Flickr, it's been a significant part of my Cure. I'm still continuing on some projects but consider myself graduated anyway.
I used to love my home, still do, but it feels like I'm *in love* with it again!
That 'nursery' ......... new parents, by any chance???
Nanikk way to go on your closet clean out:)
CrocodileAnnie love the after pic. Looks so welcoming and love all the natural light.
WOW congrats to everyone in their success completion of The Cure! I bet it's really satisfying to see such a huge project through. I especially like Crocodile Annie's and Natasha's work!
It is so awesome to see the insides of real peoples' homes instead of unrealistic interior design porn. Nice work everyone. I just goes to show how a little bit of effort goes a long way...
um...am I the only one who feels really nervous about joymich's nursery? I can't really tell in the photo, but it looks like the crib is placed right next to the loft railing and the placement of the changing table looks really dangerous! It looks like it would be quite a fall to the room below. I would seriously consider moving the crib away from the railing and re-locating the changing table. I'm not trying to ruin the parents-to-be pride in their lovely new nursery, but it just does not look safe for a squirmy and curious new baby.
these are awesome and soooo inspiring! i love so many of the afters i can't even begin to mention...they really all did such a great job! any organization and cleaning is good so bravo to ALL OF THEM for tackling such a good project! cheers
It's so thrilling to see my living room on Apartment Therapy! This was the first cure I actually saw through to the end. I didn't finish everything I set out to accomplish, but I'm happy with the end result. I can't wait for the fall cure, but I'm so motivated now that I might not have much to do by then.
The nursery doesn't make me too nervous. I'm sure her parents will adjust the crib by the time she can crawl over that balcony. Just put the kid in a safety harness, and she can rappel down to the living room. -Abby
Thanks all for the kind words! (crocodileAnnie is my flickr name). This was my first Cure so I did deep treatment one room and I can't wait for the next one! It's funny, I keep my bedroom much cleaner now that it looks like an actual "grown up" space and not just like I'm a student in temporary housing.
I couldn't have done it with out the great team of writers and commentors at AT!
I logged in to make the same comment about the chaining table. It does look like it's right at the railing.
I love all of the pictures! I'm a little bummed. While I feel I've accomplished a lot, I'm still not done. :( I can't take pics yet. I've been pretty busy with school and work. Oh well. I will continue with my cleaning and post pics later anyway. :)
AmberFirecracker - No worries, we still watch The Cure Flickr pool even in the off season, so you might yet see your hard work posted here! Good luck on finishing up!
Thanks so much for sharing my humble progress. I'd just moved in at the start of the Cure; I've got a ways to go but at least I have one perfect corner. (Terri D.)
Thank you gang for putting my bathroom up! I haven't even finished it (the wall color) and I'm already rethinking a new plan! Haha! I love changing things up! I wanted a spa feel, but might go for purple and a little bit more girlie.
Congrats to everyone for Curing their dwellings with such great work! You're photos are inspiring! On to the next Cure!
Kelly :)
Thanks! It's so exciting to see my guest room up there (I'm Natasha). I too love seeing all the pictures of normal, everyday houses.
I am happy to see that there is still a Cure Flickr pool in the off season (though I guess it wouldn't make sense for it to go away!). I will be checking it, and hopefully adding to it. I still have a lot of rooms to tackle and I don't want to wait for the next Cure.
This has been a lot of fun, and I've really enjoyed seeing everybody's progress. Some have been so dramatic, but some look equally amazing after just a few small changes. Congratulations to all of us for our hard work!

Roughly chop the tomatoes then heat the oil in the casserole, then add the onion and garlic and let them gently cook for 5-6 minutes, until they are softened and pale gold in colour.
Now add the chopped tomatoes with about a third of the basil, torn into pieces.
Add some salt and freshly milled black pepper, then all you do is give everything a good stir and let the tomatoes simmer on a very low heat, without a lid, for approximately 1½ hours – 1 ¾ hours or until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the tomatoes are reduced to a thick, jam-like consistency, stirring now and then.
Next use a hand blender to whizz the sauce, but not too much, and stir in the rest of the torn basil leaves, and serve on pasta, with some freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
When serving this sauce, it is a good idea to give the pasta 1 minute less cooking time than you usually would, then return it to the casserole after draining and give 1 more minute while you mix in the sauce.

An article published on the Telegraph's website reports the legal battle that has resulted from Portsmouth City Council's decision to replace their overnight on- site wardens with a "mobile" team of two people patrolling the schemes. A High Court judge ordered Portsmouth City Council to restore its 24 hour on-site staffing for hundreds of residents of sheltered housing schemes after a court case last month. The council is planning to appeal the judgement.

Beach festival was success
On Dec. 1, a tradition was born with the resounding success of the first Ocean Reef Beach Festival in Satellite Beach.
Pelican Beach Park was filled with 57 exhibits and vendors, ranging from eminent coastal scientists to displays of coastal art from local senior citizens and just about everything in between.
The estimated 2,000 attendees experienced a mix of education, live music, great art, conservation, activities, demonstrations and clinics in a fun, relaxed and festive atmosphere.
There were a group of volunteers that made the event run smoothly. Positive feedback from attendees and vendors almost always mentioned the volunteers as one of the key factors in their enjoyment of the day.
Already there is increased awareness of the dynamic, living coast and the Space Coast reef as a result of the ORBFEST.

New satellite reveals planet at night
Scientists have unveiled an unprecedented new look of the planet at night.
A global composite image, constructed using cloud-free night images from a new NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite, shows the glow of natural and human-built phenomena across the planet in greater detail than ever before.
Many satellites are equipped to look at Earth during the day, when they can observe the planet fully illuminated by the sun. With a new sensor onboard the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite launched last year, scientists now can observe Earth's atmosphere and surface during nighttime hours.
For more information, visit www.nasa.gov or www.noah.gov.

Next step completed to launch astronauts from home soil
NASA has announced the next step in its plan to launch American astronauts from U.S. soil, selecting three companies to conduct activities under contracts that will enable future certification of commercial spacecraft as safe to carry humans to the International Space Station.
Advances made by these companies during the first contract phase, known as the certification products contracts, will begin the process of ensuring integrated crew transportation systems will meet agency safety requirements and standards to launch American astronauts to the International Space Station from the United States, ending the agency's reliance on Russia for these transportation services.
The second phase of certification will result in a separately competed contract.
The second, expected to begin in mid-2014, will involve a full and open competition. It will include the final development, testing and verifications necessary to allow crewed demonstration flights to the space station.
While NASA works with U.S. industry partners to develop these capabilities, the agency also is developing the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System, a crew capsule and heavy-lift rocket to provide an entirely new capability for human exploration.
For more information about NASA's Commercial Crew Program, visit www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.
Alliance is accredited
The Brevard Health Alliance has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation, as a result of a recent survey conducted by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
Included in Brevard Health Alliance's award is AAAHC medical home accreditation.
Accreditation distinguishes Brevard Health Alliance from other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by the association's independent, external process of evaluation.
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors, physicians, nurses and administrators, who are actively involved in ambulatory health care.
Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation and not all that undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation.
Martini voted best on coast twice
The "love martini" a clear, crisp white cranberry concoction made by The Melting Pot in Viera, was the winner for the second year in a row in the Melbourne regional chamber's best martini on the Melbourne Coast competition.
The honor was bestowed on the restaurant at the recent "Martini & Mistletoe" event, sponsored by Twin Rivers Insurance and held at Rosner Chevrolet in Melbourne.
The drink also captured the title last year in people's-choice voting.
Fifteen bars and restaurants were vying for the title, which was sponsored by Florida Today.
Also competing were: Crowne Plaza Melbourne Oceanfront with the dark and fluffy marshmallow martini; Rendezvous Restaurant (Holiday Inn Viera) with the flor-ange martini; Outback Steakhouse with the gingerbread martini; The Broken Barrel Tavern with mint chocolate chip;" Atlantic Blue Beach Bar (Hilton Melbourne Beach) with lemon frost; Uno Chicago Grill with the skinny blood orange cosmo; The Dock at River Rocks Restaurant with Santa's sunburn; Island Pasta & Calilou Tapas Bar with naughty and nice; Lafitte's (Hilton Melbourne Rialto) with Rudolph's red nose; Neptune's Bar and Grill with the Greek goddess; Runaway Country Music Festival/ Grills Riverside Seafood Restaurant with Runaway's just a kiss; Longhorn Steakhouse with the goldrush" martini and Victory Casino Cruise Lines with Kirby's blue martini.
Best-decorated bar honors went to Lafitte's at the Hilton Melbourne Rialto.
About 300 attendees voted for their favorites at the event, which ran from 6-9 p.m. Winning bars each got a $250 cash prize and the best martini winner was given a plaque to display acknowledging their win.
The event featured a buffet, dessert bar and live DJ. Ashes Cigar Tavern offered a special smoking area, and discounted rides home were provided by Hollywood Limousine and Taxi.
College rowing coach, team recognized
Florida Tech head coach Jim Granger received the Joy of Sculling's College Coaches award for the 2012 season at the organization's annual conference recently.
University of Virginia head coach Frank Biller presented the award to the Panthers' sixth-year coach in front of approximately 300 coaches.
Coach Biller, who has more than 20 years of rowing experience, won the award last season.
Under Coach Granger's guidance, FIT's men's varsity eight has won the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship three times. When the Panthers hoisted the trophy in 2009, it marked the first time they had won the event in 17 years.
Their success has carried over to the prestigious Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta. In the last three seasons, the varsity eight has raced to two second-place finishes and a third-place finish.
Last season, FIT came in second by a mere 34-hundredths of a second to defending champion University of Michigan.
The Panthers were invited to compete in the world- renowned Henley Royal Regatta for the first time since 1996, following the 2010 Dad Vail Regatta.
On the historic River Thames, they went up against the likes of Cambridge University and Yale University.
FIT will begin its spring schedule in March.

Agency named in 'best place to work' survey
NASA was named the best place to work in the federal government, among large agencies in a survey recently released by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit, non-partisan organization.
This ranking, which reflects NASA's highest results since the index was developed, makes clear that the agency's workforce is focused on carrying out the nation's new and ambitious space program.
The rankings are based on responses from nearly 700,000 federal workers. The Best Places to Work rankings are based on data from the Office of Personnel Management's annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, conducted from April through June 2012 and additional survey data from nine agencies, plus the Intelligence Community.
This is the seventh edition of the Best Places to Work rankings since the first in 2003.
NASA's Stennis Space Center was ranked second in the sub-agency component category.

Congressman appointed to space committee
Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) has been appointed to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, which has jurisdiction over NASA, space exploration, aerospace, energy research and development and marine research.
Congressman Posey's newly redrawn Congressional District 8 now includes the Kennedy Space Center and is home to the many of the nation's leading aerospace firms and research facilities.
As a young man, Bill Posey worked on the nation's Apollo Space Program until being laid-off with thousands of other space workers, following the successful Moon landing in 1969.
Having lived much of his childhood and all of his adult life in Brevard County, he has remained an active leader in space policy for many years, serving as a member of the Florida Space Authority Board of Supervisors, the Florida Commercial Space Finance Corporation and as a member of the Board of Directors for Space Florida.
In Congress, Posey has worked across the aisle to introduce legislation to strengthen America's space program. He was the lead sponsor of the American Space Access Act, a bipartisan bill to close the space gap between the Shuttle and Constellation program, the REAL Space Act, bipartisan legislation directing NASA to plan a return to the Moon, and the Race for Space Act, which passed the House last May.
Congressman Posey is also a prime co-sponsor of the Space Leadership Preservation Act, legislation to create a longer term for the NASA administrator to insulate the agency from political changes and to ensure that our nation's long-term space programs have the continuity that is needed to see them through to completion.

Fly in a vintage plane
The Valiant Air Command has announced that one of its most venerable warbirds is now flying in the local area; the C-47 "TiCo Belle." From the Normandy invasion to Cherbourg, to Arnhem, to Bastogne, to the Berlin Airlift and more, this aircraft was there, more than 65 years ago.
Now, you can experience all this history as a special and unique present for yourself, or someone you love.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information, or to get on a reserve list to schedule a flight schedule.
When the Tico Belle flies, with you aboard - complete with Normandy invasion identification stripes - you will be able to look out and truly imagine what it must have been like on that fateful June 6, 1944, a day when the freedom of a world hung in the balance as she made her way in the pre-dawn darkness towards the beaches of Normandy; part of the largest aerial invasion armada the world has ever seen.
The Valiant Air Command Museum is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport at 6600 Tico Road, in Titusville.

Order sea oats today
It is time again to pre-purchase sea oats for dune planting, through the annual sea oats sale, offered by Brevard County's Natural Resources Management Office and Keep Brevard Beautiful Inc.
Liner size sea oats are for sale in trays of 96 for $48, while supplies last.
Quantities may be limited this year, so order early. Sea oats must be ordered and paid for by Friday, Feb. 1, and will be available for pickup on Saturday, Feb. 9.
Sea oats are native to Brevard's coastal communities and stabilize sand quickly by developing an extensive root and rhizome system that holds onto sand and slows erosion. Sea oats also have the ability to build dunes, as the grassy foliage and tall seed plumes trap windblown sand, which builds up at the plant base and stimulates the plants to grow taller.
The dunes that are formed are an important feature of our coastal ecosystem, as they provide habitat for wildlife and protect upland property during wind and storm events.
For more information, call Paula Berntson at (321) 633-2016, Ext. 52431, email email@example.com or visit http://ww3.brevardcounty.us/natres/documents/2013_sea_oats_info_and_order_form.pdf.

Preparing for 'Paws in the Park'
The Central Brevard Humane Society is inviting local businesses and rescue groups to take part in its Seventh Annual Mardi Gras Paws in the Park event that will be held in conjunction with Cocoa Village Mardi Gras on Sunday, Feb. 10, from noon to 3 p.m. at Riverfront Park in historic Cocoa Village.
Sponsorship opportunities for Mardi Gras Paws in the Park are for individuals and businesses at all levels, beginning at $100 for the "Purple" sponsorship and up to $1,000 and above for the primary sponsorship, "The Big Easy."
This annual event features extensive promotion and offers a fantastic quality "bang for your buck" for sponsors - all while having exceptionally high charitable returns for the homeless animals of Brevard.
The cost for businesses to be a part of the vendor village at Mardi Gras Paws in the Park is $50. All rescue groups may participate at "no charge" (pending space availability). Vendors and rescue groups must supply their own tables, chairs, promotional materials, display racks and setup staff.
Mardi Gras Paws in the Park is a free animal and family-friendly event for pet lovers, young and the young at heart, that will include rescue groups, a vendor village, pet contests, the crowning of the "furry" "King and Queen of the Park," a demonstration from the Brevard Sheriff Department's Paws & Stripes Cadets, a Mardi Gras "Parade of Pets" and live entertainment. All animals must be on a leash and have proof of current shots along with a county tag.
Holiday presents and gift cards for food items, gas
Employees at the Brevard Public School's Educational Services Facilities completed its "Giving from the Heart" campaign.
Twenty-six families, with more than 60 children, were given holiday presents and food and gas gift cards.
More than $6,000 was raised through internal fundraisers, department ice-cream socials, bake sales, jewelry sales and a silent auction.
Some families also received toys and clothing.
The mission of the campaign is to make the holidays a little brighter for some who might be struggling to make ends meet.

Wood storks no longer in danger
Wood storks in the Southeastern United States no longer face imminent danger of extinction.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to upgrade the status of the United States breeding population of wood storks from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
The proposal follows a comprehensive review, conducted by service biologists, of the best available scientific and commercial information about the species' status.
The wood stork is the only true species of stork nesting in the United States.
Since its original ESA listing as endangered in 1984, the U.S. breeding population has shown substantial improvement in the numbers of nesting pairs as a whole and the expansion of its breeding range.
The proposed reclassification would not change any conservation or protection measures for the wood stork under the ESA. Rather it would recognize the stork's ongoing recovery and the positive impact that collaborative conservation efforts over the last two decades have had on breeding populations
With a continuing trend, the species could become suitable for de-listing from the ESA.
Therefore, addressing the threats associated with habitat loss, including the protection of natural wetlands through partnerships and the focused management of public lands, remains a conservation priority for the Service.
To ensure its final decision reflects the best available information, the service is soliciting comments from the public, other concerned governmental agencies, Tribal governments, the scientific community, industry and any other interested parties.
Of particular interest is information and comments concerning the historical and current status and distribution of the wood stork, its biology and ecology and ongoing conservation measures for the species and its habitat.
Anyone wishing to submit information regarding the wood stork throughout its Southeast U.S. breeding range may do so via one of the following methods once the rule has published:

Satellite arrives at space center
NASA's newest tracking and data relay satellite, known as TDRS-K, arrived recently at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in preparation for a Tuesday, Jan. 29 launch.
TDRS-K arrived aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 from the Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems assembly facility in El Segundo, Calif.
For almost 30 years, the TDRS spacecraft have provided a reliable communications network for NASA, serving numerous national and international space missions.
The TDRS fleet is a space-based communication system used to provide tracking, telemetry, command and high bandwidth data return services. The satellites provide in-flight communications with spacecraft operating in low-Earth orbit. It has been 10 years since NASA's last TDRS launch.
TDRS-K will launch to geo-stationary orbit aboard an Atlas V rocket.
The spacecraft is the first of three next-generation satellites designed to ensure vital operational continuity for NASA by expanding the lifespan of the fleet
The launch of TDRS-L is scheduled for 2014 and TDRS-M in 2015.
NASA's Launch Services Program at Kennedy is responsible for launch management. United Launch Alliance provides the Atlas V rocket launch service.
To join the online conversation about TDRS on Twitter, follow the hashtag #TDRS.

Rescue mission receives funds
Brevard Rescue Mission, which provides transitional housing and support services for homeless women with children, recently received $3,500 in cash and supplies from the Suntree Ladies Golf Association.
Funding will be used to support program services for the families.
Brevard Rescue Mission is privately funded by donations from individuals, civic organizations, foundations, churches and area businesses. Donated funds provide housing, education, transportation, counseling, medical care, parent training, household budgeting, tutoring, job training, food and clothing and case-manager support services.

Kids club visit, sing for residents
On Sunday, Dec. 16, Knucklebones Creative Kids Club delighted senior residents of the West Melbourne Health and Rehabilitation Center with Christmas songs.
Looking like Christmas elves, club members also presented the residents with Christmas cards created by them especially for the event.
Knucklebones Creative Kids Club was designed to open a child's vision of his/her world artistically. Club members explore Brevard County by attending various venues, such as the Brevard Zoo, museums, parks, sporting events, nonprofit organizations and more.
In turn, the children create art (in an artist workshop) based on what they have experienced.
This artwork will is placed on the Knucklebones web site.
Knucklebone's mission is to offer its members the opportunity to explore, participate and create in activities, field trips and classes.
Pictures from these KCKC adventures can be seen at www.knucklebonescreativekidsclub.com. The site also features artwork created by club members, showcasing their unique talents.
Visit the website for additional information or plan to attend one of the weekly meet-and-greet sessions scheduled for the first and third Wednesday evenings of the month at 6 p.m. at McDonalds, located at the intersection of San Filippo and Malabar roads, in Palm Bay.
Seeing under the surface of the skin
MIMA Dermatology has announced that it is incorporating the groundbreaking MelaFind device into its practice, the first in Brevard County and northeast Florida.
MelaFind, developed by medical device company MELA Sciences, is a first-of-its-kind technology that is used during a skin exam to help dermatologists see under the skin's surface.
The device collects information from 2.5 millimeters deep into the skin painlessly and non-invasively using computer vision technology.
MelaFind's safety and effectiveness were proven in the largest clinical trial in melanoma detection ever conducted. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved MelaFind for use in the United States.
For more information on MelaFind, visit www.melafind.com, email email@example.com or call (321) 757-5141.
On the canal boat parade
The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron had an early Christmas Eve with a christmas boat parade.
The parade, led by the Satellite Beach Marine Enforcement Boat and the Banana River Sail and Power Santa Claus boat was joined by approximately 80 decorated boats of all sizes and types.
Many of the boats not only had a light display, but also Christmas carol audios.
One very special sailboat had a music and lights coordinated display that brought those viewing to their feet with applause.
The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron thanks the city of Satellite Beach for their participation and support, past commander James Merker for captaining the Santa Claus boat, executive officer Steve Woessner for organizing the parade and David Hixenbaugh, a special friend of Santa, for bringing Santa down from the North Pole.
The Squadron thanks the wonderful boaters who volunteered their time and effort to decorate their boats for everyone's enjoyment, and all the very friendly spectators up and down the Grand Canal for their applause and shouts of Merry Christmas to all the boats as they passed.
Banana River Sail and Power Squadron wishes a Merry Christmas and the very best in the new year to the boaters and citizens of Satellite Beach all of those joined us from the sounding communities and the membership of the BRSPS. We invite all of you to join our organization and attend our classes - "Boating is Fun," and we'll show You How!
Student survey in progress
All Brevard Public School students in grades 3-12 will be taking an anonymous computer-based survey during January to find out what the children think about Brevard Public Schools.
The survey questions focus on curriculum, instruction, bullying and school safety.
There will be no personally identifiable information in the survey, according to BPS.
If you have questions or wish to see a copy of the survey, contact the school.
The results of the survey will help the school to better serve all Brevard Public School students.

text: I will be playing football in college and I am currently locked into that routine. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on a way to cut while sticking to my routine. I am looking for mostly nutrition and a few tips on extras lifts that might help. I am on a four day split with Heavy Squat and Incline on Mondays, Hang Clean and Rows on Tuesdays, Bench and Power Squat on Thursdays, and DB Snatch and Cleans on Fridays. Along with these lifts I perform accessory lifts also. On Mondays and Thursdays I work abs and neck after my main lifts and on Tuesdays and Fridays I do speedwork and agility. Any tips are helpful. Thanks in advance.

This luxurious, world-famous Champagne boasts soft and mature aromas of white fruits such as peaches and pears with hints of nuts. From a smooth, juicy mid-palate to a clean and crisp finish, the champagne releases heavenly fruit flavors with hints of fresh walnuts.

La Grande Dame, Veuve Clicquot 2004
Dom Perignon Includes:
- Dom Perignon 2004
"The 2004 Dom Perignon continues to develop beautifully. A vibrant, focused Champagne, the 2004 clearly reflects the personality of the year. Freshly cut flowers, white peaches and pears are woven together in a Champagne that impresses for its focus and energy. Chiseled saline notes support the crystalline finish. I imagine the 2004 will always remain relatively bright and linear, but at the same time, each time I have tasted it over the last two years the 2004 seems to have a little more body and broader shoulders. The 2004 will appeal most to readers who find the 2002 and 2003 too exuberant. There is a lot to like in the glass." - 96 Points, Vinous

This is an exceptional wine that is ripe with flavors of grapefruit, crisp red apple, and honey, balanced with a fine yeasty character. There is a great depth of flavor, with the fruits going in a pure line of freshness. - 97 Points, Wine & Spirits

Received this set (w the Veuve) from a classy-thoughtful couple for our silver anniversary. I was already impressed with the gift box, then opening it was icing on the cake. Flutes were engraved with our initials. One unfortunately was broken, but here is what makes GIFTTREE.com my new go-to shopping site; I called the 800 # to let them know one flute was damaged and the representative was so pleasant and professional, no stupid questions asked, and the replacement is on it's way.
