Anne Mathews went recently to the Utah Driver License Office at the Fairpark to renew her license after she had inadvertently let it expire.
She thought she had all the necessary documents to prove she was a U.S. citizen and a Utah resident. But once she was there, she couldn't find her Social Security card. Alas, she couldn't get a license, but she was given a temporary one to get her by for six months.

Mathews immediately went to the Social Security Office and, after a considerable wait, was told she would get a new card within two weeks.
What did she need to prove her identity to get the new card from the feds? The temporary license she had just received because she lacked the proper documents for a permanent one.
After receiving her Social Security card in the mail, Mathews made an appointment at the Driver License Division's Redwood Road office. When she got there — again with an armload of documents, including her new Social Security card — she was told to take a number and wait her turn, despite her appointment.
After a half-hour, she left to go to another appointment, deciding to come back when she had more time.
The next time she went to Redwood Road, she was prepared to wait. After more than an hour, her number was called and she approached the agent's window with her papers.
One problem: The woman told her the temporary license had been issued at the Fairpark office, so she had to go back to that office to get her permanent one.
After counting to 10, she calmly asked why the offices couldn't share information using a device called a computer.
Mathews was reminded that she didn't have the upper hand in this impasse and would be well advised to walk away without a peep.
She went back to the Fairpark office with all her documents and an all-American smile.
So, on her fourth try, she got her license.
Utah cop earns national award • A Cottonwood Heights police officer was named national law enforcement officer of the year by the International Footprint Association at its recent annual convention in Ogden.
Officer Casey Davies earned the award for foiling a bank robbery while he was off duty in West Jordan in February.
Davies, who was not in uniform and did not have his police gear, was shopping when he noticed a man nervously walking in and out of Mountain America Credit Union and acting suspiciously.
Davies called dispatch and had two uniformed officers come to the scene, where they questioned the man, who, it turned out, was carrying a gun and a note demanding money. The man later confessed that he had planned to rob the credit union.
Two years ago, while on duty, Davies chased down two men who had robbed a bank in Fort Union.
Besides the honor for Davies, the Salt Lake chapter was named best local chapter for the second straight year.
The association is a service organization that supports law enforcement.
In the heat of the night • Graduates of Canyons School District's Entrada Adult High School earned their diplomas by the sweat of their brows.

[rQ] Hair to Die For
i don't think i can keep this designer a secret to the feed any longer. i've seen her hair cropping up in a few blogs with a frequency which, quite frankly, frightens me. i had thought it would be I, and I alone who would bring her name and vision to the world of SL fashion. we needn't mention Bellatrix Mai, who seems to have a special relationship with the artist-who-is-our-Queen. shouldn't MY vision of beauty be of primary importance to all of you? yes, yes, i am learning how to share.
what we have here, in this world of fantasy and beauty, with such graciously applied expertise in execution, is a graphic artistry which reaches towards a level of perfection that has no equal. Ruth Quan, as you may come to know her should you dare, is one such artist within our multi cultural world who plays the game the way we all should. more i can not say. suffice it to say you will need to immerse yourself in a "living story" of imagination and creativity which may be unknown and mysterious to a lack of grounding in anything but hypnotic shopping somnambulism.
of course, for the more timid of our kind you can merely purchase your hair at her publicly accessible parcel and be on your way. you don't have to talk with anyone, heaven forbid there might be any interaction along the way. we won't have any of that polite civility! imagine. humanity ... at a distance ... in a box ... controlled ... familiar ... SAFE. and yet, i digress from my purpose.
those choosing to forgo their social pleasures/pains for a moment will do wonders for their souls when they acquire ms Quan's creations. these pictures i've crafted here really don't do them justice. the vendors at the store, all done by Ruth, are, in them selves, works of art. slipping on her DEMOS will, if you have a heart at all, move you as deliciously as her hair is designed to do. she's got plenty of colours, both solids and tints. her vendor boards are easy peasy to choose from. and, if you have any custom colours you'd like, just IM her, she's really a darling to chat with.
of course, if Ruth was merely a fashion designer she'd not make my list for Pleasing Perfection. she's got silks and primmy gadgety things hanging around her shop too. i never got to inspect them since i was very much taken away by her hair. i'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to know she's designing and building an entire SIM at present so bear that in mind if you need any alterations. you'll be hearing more about her from me. if this brings her into the light of fashionista hellfire, i'm sure others will too. till then, enjoy her gifts.
oh, btw, the shots above are fed through my flickr account. the settings in my blogger don't allow for any photos uploaded through their system to be larger than 400 pixels wide. bringing them in from my flickr store seems to open up a whole new world of outlandish graphical wonder. lalalalalalala.

Missing man Nicholas Francisco found alive and well
From the King County Sheriff's Office:
A "missing" SeaTac man has been found alive and well, living in another state.
Nicholas Francisco was last seen leaving his work on Feb. 13, 2008. He was supposedly heading home to bake cookies with his children. Francisco's car was found a few days later abandoned in Federal Way.
The King County Sheriff's Office did an extensive investigation to learn if he had been a victim of foul play. Nothing turned up. Last week, detectives developed information that he was in fact alive. He had changed his name and was living outside of Washington.
The investigation is now closed. To read the original report, click here.

The contrast between the Chain-o-polis that is Coon Rapids and downtown Northfield is one of the reasons why I love this place: Northfield has character. Just try to name a chain store that has as much personality as Hogan Brothers, Chapati, Las Delicias, or Oo La La. Try to think of a big corporate coffee shop that has more local charm than Goodbye Blue Monday.
I cant, and thats why I would like to ask that when you head out of your dorm room, apartment or pod to get your caffeine fix, you think carefully about what kind of values you want to support with your money.
Now, I will be the first to say that I have had quite a few of Caribous Vanilla Coolers in my day. I hate to admit it, but they are delicious. However, I stopped buying Caribou products once I learned the environmental and cultural reverberations caused by purchasing these sugary coffee concoctions. When I think about the consequences of the coffee I enjoyed at Caribou and Starbucks, the memories arent so sweet.
Little did I know that each time I purchased my favorite blended coffee drink at Caribou, I was slurping social injustice and environmental degradation. Coffee farmers who try to compete in todays world of free-trade and globalization are pressured to produce more and more coffee.
In South America, for example, one way that farmers accomplish this task is by clear-cutting the rainforest to plant high-yielding but sun-loving varieties of coffee. This does increase yields, but it also devastates the bird population to an unbelievable extent.
Without any natural predators, the insect population thrives. As a result, the farmers use toxic pesticides in order to kill the insects. As John C. Ryan and Alan Thein Durning state in their book Stuff, the unforeseen consequence of this action is that the pesticides poison the land, the local fauna and the farmers.
To add insult to injury, farmers are paid less than the costs of production which have been inflated by the expensive petrochemicals. Ryan and Durning also note that the land and the farmers suffer in order that big chains like Caribou and Starbucks can keep their costs low and their profits high.
Since no one would want to buy a product with such a widespread and unjust story attached to it, Im sure you all can already feel the withdrawal headaches forming in your temples. But dont despair: No one needs to give up their daily fix!
In fact, there are ways for us to enjoy our joe with friends, as well as be good to the earth and to coffee growers. Its called fair-trade and shade-grown coffee, and its served in the Cage, Stav Hall and Northfields very own Goodbye Blue Monday coffeehouse.
When we purchase fair-trade and shade-grown coffee, we are directly supporting smaller-scale farmers who practice more ecologically sound growing practices. The farmers benefit because they receive a fair price for their goods at least $1.26 a pound, compared to the unlivable free-trade rate of 60 cents a pound and we as coffee-drinkers also benefit through the enjoyment of a quality drink that has a good story behind it. For more information, visit http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/fairtrade/coffee/.
When I talked with some folks at Blue Monday, they said that about two-thirds of their coffee is some combination of fair-trade, shade-grown and organic. When I called a Caribou in Lakeville, the worker didnt know what fair-trade meant.
On top of all this, Id like to point out that Blue Monday always has student artwork up on the walls, interesting music, free wireless internet, funky murals and of course, all of your friends. The Caribou in Northfield will look exactly the same as the one in Coon Rapids. Yawn.
We have to pick which kind of story we want to buy into. I urge you to support local, unique, environmentally beneficial and socially just experiences over corporate and bland ones. Its not just about the coffee ... sip on that.

the sole negative about realizing I am in a relationship now.
Just realized I'm going to need to increase the holiday gift budget a bit. In previous relationships, we'd been dating long enough that gifts were obvious.
You may play the tiniest violin for my wallet while I try and figure out what she would like, how much you reasonably spend when you've been dating two months, and whether it would be more appropriate to give it on the first or last night of Hanukkah. Not a complication, really, but as a wishy-washy half-Episcopalian who merely observes Christmas more as a secular sort of thing and was the worst half-Jew ever when I was younger, this is new-ish territory. (also, I think "wishy-washy" is probably implied in Episcopalian/Anglican Church membership.)
I suspect I will be spending a Saturday morning at the Portland Saturday Market in order to find some nice but inexpensive art or jewelry along with all the other things I buy for family members there around this time of year.

I have a GF but she doesnt want to workout at a real gym. She is very self-conscious but she says she will do it at the apartment gym. Of course the only problem is its a apartment gym not much there. It has one of those multi-purpose units split into 4 sections - latpulldown, a sitting smith machine w/leg curl thingy, leg presss and pullys. And I was hoping I could modify the BGB routine to accomodate this situation. Im going to post the sample workout built posted and see what can be modified to fit. I label my ideas on some of them in italics. Tell me what yall think.
Day 1: Horizontal push pull, calves, and abs
Thickness back: direct
Chest: direct
Biceps: indirect
Triceps: indirect
Front Delts: indirect
Calves, abs: direct
Thickness-Back: not sure what to do for these but I think the smith machine can be used to do pulls sitting up might just do it with different grips
Rack pulls 5x5 (direct, hard, strength range)
Bent-over rows 3x8 (hypertrophy range)
(If you do a third, Hammer Rows 3x10-12)
Chest: will probably do the smith machine but change the angle of the press
Flat bench 5x5
Incline dumbbell press 3x8
(if you do a third, Incline cable flyes 3x10-12)
Calves: can use the legpress
(soleus) 3x12-20 seated calf raises. Pause at the bottom
Abs: 3 sets of 8-12, weighted
Day 2: Quad dominant, hamstring accessory. Biceps.
Quads: direct, heavy, low reps
Hamstrings: direct, lighter, high reps
Arms: direct
Calves: indirect
Abs: indirect
Quads: may have to cut out squats and do something else but not sure
Full squats 5x5
Leg press 3x8
Leg curls or high foot placement leg press 3-4 sets of 12-20
Biceps:i can use the pullys for these
Seated alternating bicep curls 5x5
Hammer curls 3x8-12
Day 3: Vertical push-pull, calves, abs
Width-Back: direct
Shoulders: direct
Calves: direct
Abs: direct
Biceps: indirect with pull-ups, chin-ups, pulldowns
Triceps: indirect with shoulders and some lat work
Chest: indirect with some lat work, possibly, such as dumbbell pullovers
Width-Back:probably replace hammers with a wide grip lat pulldown
Chins 5x5
Hammer high rows 3x8
(if you do a third, Hammer Behind the Neck rows or lying pullovers 3x12)
Shoulders: the laterals are doable with the pullys but im not sure about what i can do about the press.
(I like to warm up with bent over side laterals, which work the often-neglected rear delts anyway 3x10)
Arnold Press or Military Press 5x5
Standing side laterals 3x8
Calves: (gastrocs) standing or donkey calf raises, 3x8-10
Abs: 3 sets of 8-12, weighted
Day 4: Hamstring dominant, quad accessory. Triceps.
Hamstrings/Glutes: direct, heavy, low reps
Quads: direct, lighter, high reps
Triceps: direct
Calves: indirect
Abs: indirect
Hamstrings/glutes:Not sure what to do here
Romanian Deadlifts 5x5
Good mornings or high foot placement leg press 3x8
Quads:will probably do the leg extensions on the smith machine
Walking lunges or seated leg extensions 3x12-20
Triceps:I can do these ones no problem
Skullcrushers, Dips, or between bench dips 5x5
Cable pressdowns 3x8-12

Grace Bible Church and Grace Christian School
Welcome to Grace Bible Church
& Christian School
GBC seeks to communicate the Gospel
clearly and the Bible accurately so people might come to know Christ in a personal way and grow deeper in their Christian
faith and walk!
New to Grace?
Welcome, we are honored that you are visiting our web site. We are always
striving to help others become "connected" to God and learn more about the good news of God's Word. This web
site allows us to share with people we may never have been able to contact before.
On the first Sunday of every month we have a "Welcome to Grace" class during the Sunday School/Bible Study
time (9:45 - 10:40) in the first classroom on the left in the educational building behind the sanctuary. This time will
allow you to meet the pastor and learn more about the ministry of Grace.
On the following dates we also invite anyone new to Grace to a free lunch after the 10:50 service.
Its a great time to meet the staff families and get better acquainted with Grace. Resevations are required. Call
727-863-2747 and ask to attend the "Welcome to Grace" Lunch.
Offered on these dates: July 7, 2013; September 1, 2013 and November 3, 2013. Please use this site to access the information you need about the church and as a resource for
broadening your faith. We look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have.
Our desire is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ, extend a clear invitation to everyone
to trust Him as their personal Lord and Savior and then grow in their knowlege, love and commitment to Him. Through
our ministries we hope to help others become involved in this great privilege of helping people know and love the Savior.
"Am I Going to Heaven"?
Can anyone really know the answer to that question? Absolutely! 1John 5:13
states " I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may KNOW that you have eternal
life!" So, how can I know? You have probably heard that God loves us, but did you know He wants us to
have a relationship with Him now and wants us to live forever with Him in Heaven after we die? (John 3:16-17, John
However, there is a problem that prevents us from having a relationship with God and
from going to heaven. God is perfectly holy and without sin, but we are not (Romans 3:23). We are all sinners ,
that is, we have disobeyed God in some form or fashion at one time or another (if we are honest probably many times).
The Bible says the penalty for our sin is death (separation from God). Separation
in this life and in the life to come in a place of punishment called Hell (Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:14).
Many people think that if they do enough good things they can somehow merit or earn heaven.
But, we can not buy or earn God's forgiveness. We can not erase our sins by doing good deeds. We are thus in a
dilemma and unable to save ourselves from the penalty of our sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:20).
Since God loves us he has provided a substitute who paid the penalty for our sins.
God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless God-man took on flesh, was born into this world, died on the cross, was buried
and then did proved his deity by resurrecting from the dead! After His resurrection He was seen, heard and touched
by numerous people, in fact, by over 500 people on one occassion (Titus 3:4-5: 1 Corinthians 15:3-7).
His divine birth, amazing and numerous miracles, fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy
and resurrection from the dead prove that Jesus was the Son of God and that He had paid for our sin. He now offers forgivness
of sins and salvation to all who put their trust in Him and what He did on the cross as a payment for their sins (John
1:12; 1 John 5:10-12).
Would you like to be forgiven? Would you like to have a relationship with God and
know you have a home in heaven? If so, bow your head right now and ask the living Christ to forgive you, trusting
in what He did for you on the cross not in what you can do.
E-mail us if you made this decision and we will rejoice with you and send you some information
that will help you grow in your new relationship with Christ.

MONTREAL — Years of cheap mortgage rates have helped to stoke demand from a new generation of homebuyers in Canada and fears are still being expressed about whether the housing market might overheat. The current level of sales is the best in more than four years and closing in on highs reached in 2007 before the last recession.
What would you rather be, a hapless dupe or a willing ostrich? Throughout the wasting years of his third, truncated, mandate as mayor of Montreal, Gérald Tremblay clung to the capsized rowboat of moral indignation and self preservation like a beleaguered Captain Ahab staring down Moby Dick.

Around two million drivers have been involved in an accident or a near miss while carelessly driving a vehicle with just one hand, according to data from the Department for Transport. This is typically the case when people eat, drink, smoke, tinker with a sat nav or use a phone when driving.A study carried out by the University of Leeds quantified this as it found that a person's reaction time increases by almost double (44 per cent) when eating behind the wheel. This means that if an individual's reaction time was five seconds using both hands, while eating it would increase to just over seven seconds. The figure is lower for drivers that take a sip from a drink behind the wheel. This only increases reaction times by a fifth (22 per cent). Researchers put this down to the added concentration to get food out of packaging. "It is widely accepted that the distraction of talking on a hand-held mobile phone may increase accident risk - hence the introduction of legislation in the UK, said Professor Samantha Jamson at the University of Leeds. "Other activities that involve taking one hand off the wheel, such as eating or drinking, may also cause distraction."

Inspired by...
HMN Photography is busy finding inspiration in her snowy surroundings and crisp winter mornings. This week she's been snapping photos from an early morning walk to start off the new year. Snow covered boots, a cup full of coffee, and the quiet found in a simple walk are her tricks for emerging from the blankets and enjoying the outdoors. Has anyone else been inspired by quiet mornings outside? What's getting you out of bed and into nature?

Re-live Anichebe and Osman goals from a 2-1 win over Wigan.
Following last week's announcement of the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League fixtures, evertonfc.com looks back at another memorable opening day encounter...
Everton 2-1 Wigan Athletic - 11 August 2007
Everton started their memorable 2007/08 campaign in the best possible fashion with a 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic.
Manager David Moyes resisted the temptation of handing new signings Phil Jagielka and Steven Pienaar their full debuts, while fellow summer recruit Leighton Baines missed out against his former club through injury.
The Toffees made the perfect start midway through the first half with Leon Osman finding the net with a looping header from Tony Hibbert's cross.
It wasn't until 15 minutes from time when Everton finally doubled their lead as Victor Anichebe scored from close range.
Wigan's Antoine Sibierski pulled one back late on but Everton managed to hold on for the three points – their first of 16 victories that season en route to a fifth placed finish.

Marmol 1+
With an out in the 8th, the Cubs are turning to Carlos Marmol to finish the game. His theoretical 1.2 innings of work will be the 14th time this season that he's thrown 1+ innings of work.
Sidebar: before I could even finish my second sentence, Marmol notched his second strikeout in as many batters.
Now the question is, in his 13 previous multi-inning appearances, how did Marmol do?
Based on my hurried observation of the stats, he's allowed 1 run to score in 3 out of his 13 multi-inning games. His ERA in multi inning games is, in 21 innings, 1.29.
As nerve-wracking as these close games are, it's comforting to know that Marmol is used to this situation and he tends to rise to the occassion. Now, if only the Cubs would tack on a few runs before he comes back out for the 9th...

I have been working for a pet shop for over 3 years and and have never recieved a clocked out 30 minute lunch break. I always eat on the clock and Im never relieved for a break. Nor do they have a break room in the building. I have time cards to prove that i have stayed clocked in for the full 8 hours. It is my understanding that I am owed an hours pay for every day that I worked an 8 hour shift without clocking out for a break and it is a managers job to relieve me. I would like to know how I would go about suing the owner of the company for this money because i have talked to other lawyers and basically because I am suing for a calculated total of about 5000 dollars and only make about 11 dollars an hour they think my case is not worth their time. Can't I sue for lawyer fees as well?
Yes, you may sue for lawyer's fees as well.
Another option you should consider is pursuing a case through the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement, also known as the Labor Commissioner. This is an attractive option if your case is not worth a large amount of money.
Good luck!
As stated by the DIR (Calif. Department of Industrial Relations), In California, an employer may not employ an employee for a work period of more than five hours per day without providing the employee with a meal period of not less than thirty minutes, except that if the total work period per day of the employee is no more than six hours, the meal period may be waived by mutual consent of both the employer and employee. A second meal period of not less than thirty minutes is required if an employee works more than ten hours per day, except that if the total hours worked is no more than 12 hours, the second meal period may be waived by mutual consent of the employer and employee only if the first meal period was not waived. Labor Code Section 512. There is an exception for employees in the motion picture industry, however, as they may work no longer than six hours without a meal period of not less than 30 minutes, nor more than one hour. And a subsequent meal period must be called not later than six hours after the termination of the preceding meal period. IWC Order 12-2001, Section 11(A)
Unless the employee is relieved of all duty during his or her thirty minute meal period, the meal period shall be considered an "on duty" meal period that is counted as hours worked which must be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay. An "on duty" meal period shall be permitted only when the nature of the work prevents an employee from being relieved of all duty and when by written agreement between the employer and employee an on-the-job paid meal period is agreed to. For each break or meal period that your employer did not provide to you, you are entitled to one hour of pay plus attorneys' fees.
I would be happy to discuss this matter with you personally but certainly agree that you should have an employment law attorney write a demand letter on your behalf.
Mr. Korobkin is correct that you may not be entitled to attorney's fees for going after penalties for the missed breaks -- the law is currently unsettled in this area. But if you are also entitled to overtime or there are any unpaid wages, attorney's fees would be available. You can avoid this concern by pursing a claim for free with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. The DLSE is moving slowly these days because of budget cuts, staff shortages and increased workload, but it can get the job done.
The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) is a sub-agency within the California Department of Industrial Relations. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/. Some people refer to the DLSE as the Labor Commissioner. The DLSE enforces California's wage and hour laws, including those pertaining to overtime, rest and meal breaks, and more. The link for information on filing a wage claim is here: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilewageclaim.htm.
You are entitled to two ten minute breaks and a duty-free meal period of at least 30 minutes. For each break or meal period that your employer did not provide to you - you are owed one hour of pay plus attorneys' fees. I recommend having an employment law attorney write a demand letter to your employer.
You also have a duty to "mitigate" your damages.
Did you INFORM the bosses/owner that you were
not taking your lunches and that you were suing?
Also . . . you had your lunch "on-the-clock?"
Were you working WHILE eating OR just sitting
down and eating (not working)?

There are two things that surprise me about chicken:
- How expensive it is considering how many chickens there seem to be in the world. Because whenever they show a chicken farm on the news it looks like a billion chickens running about – and shouldn't that much supply bring the price down?
- How difficult chicken can be to cook it without some part of it drying out.
I can't do anything about the cost, but the drying out part I've got handled. This is my go-to way of cooking a chicken breast, and I do this all the time. And while I show you three things to do with it once cooked – the possibilities are endless. In fact my wife Kelly loves it when I grill some chicken, slice it and put it in a container in the fridge. Then when she wants a quick healthy bite or snack – it's as simple as opening the fridge door. In fact, that makes an excellent point: once you get set up to cook a chicken breast or two, why not throw a couple extra on. Then slice and stick 'em in the fridge and they're ready for anything – including just snacking.

Are There Any Non-Alcoholic Drinks With Egg Whites?
Good Questions
Q: I've seen lots of articles about mixed drinks, including your recent one on egg whites (which links to one on a fizz). I was wondering if there are any good recipes for non-alcoholic drinks, or do people not waste their time with those? As a teetotaler, am I just out of luck?
Sent by Berimon
Editor: Berimon, here's one that doesn't have an egg white added, but you could easily add it in for yummy foam and fizz:

Just follow the directions in the cocktail posts linked above to incorporate the egg whites.
Readers, any non-alcoholic cocktail tips for Berimon?

I know an Egg Cream doesn't actually have egg in it, but did it once, hence the name?
Orange Julius used to use an egg as an add-on to their drinks (those were delish.)
What about Eggnog/Boiled Custard. The alcohol isn't strictly required.

These flashlights are perfect for my bug out bag. I like the clip that allows the flashlight to attach to a backpack strap and with the light positioned at 90 degrees it provides light where you are walking.
Very nice, like LED lights, will buy more.
Item did not work when received, but customer service ordered another without question. Item is well made, not mil spec, but good as when it works. One great feature on this Tim is that it is LED rather than a bulb. Another item that is required.

Update the undead, I mean really common how is it even possible for them to fight with their spines sticking out of the back of their armor. Its like a giant bullseye on the back the says "please sever me". And the broken armor drives me insane, I've got an UD warrior and looking at his plate makes me want to vomit. What were you thinking blizz when you made the UD armor all broken up? It just looks silly and with all those vital bones exposed you make it impossible for me to believe the my tank never once gets knee capped or the dude behind him doesn't see that spine sticking out and just cuts it in half. Out of all the vanilla races the Undead need the most work.

Honda on Facebook: Crosstour's Styling "May Not Be For Everyone"
Earlier this week, we reported on the social media backlash that ensued after Honda released photos of its new Accord Crosstour on Facebook. In short, the Fan Page's Wall became a virtual punching bag, where users hurled insults slamming the vehicle's design. Smartly, Honda has allowed users to continue to voice their opinions, negative as they may be (although, they did remove comments from an employee).

One of the assignments for my class is to write a few blog posts. These are more formal for my class, but they're here if you are interested :)
Greetings from Delhi, India! Upon my arrival to the subcontinent, I expected to be welcomed with warm weather. However, Thursday was the coldest day in Delhi in 44 years, since the city began keeping records in 1969. The high temperature was 49.64°F. To combat the cold, people build small fires on the side of roads, burning whatever refuse they can find nearby. The city is enveloped by smoky smog from both the fires and pollution from motor vehicles.
The fog is just one element of the chaotic culture that is found here. It is truly a diverse city as people in Western apparel and saris pass each other on the street, a slum lies across the road from an upscale shopping mall, ancient palaces and tombs are found near office buildings, and traffic moves very haphazardly. We have travelled all around the city to visit different companies and historical sites, and have had lots of opportunity to see the city and to people watch from our tour bus. The best part of the bus is that its windows are not tinted so passersby notice the large vehicle full of primarily white American students and often wave to us. Windows are not tinted as a safety precaution so anything happening on a bus can be seen by the surrounding traffic and pedestrians.
India has the most chaotic roads I have ever been on. I would require a good sum of money to risk driving on the roads here. Though only 5% of the population owns cars, there are many vehicles on the road, especially in the evenings. Cars, trucks, and buses are accompanied by many motorbikes, auto rickshaws, and other small trucks that weave between the larger vehicles. Though lines are painted on the roads, as they are in the U.S., they are largely disregarded by motorists. Thus, drivers honk their horns frequently to communicate with each other. All of the perceived chaos on the roads would logically lead to many collisions, but I have yet to see any crashes. This can mostly likely be attributed to the fact that vehicles are usually moving at relatively slow speeds. There seem to be efforts to curb these driving habits as I have seen billboards with the slogan "lane driving is sane driving" and many vehicles painted with "no honk" on the back.
It is easy to become overwhelmed by all of the traffic, bustle of people, colorful sites, honking, and yelling. However, I am really enjoying my stay so far. Time moves in a different way in India from the U.S. The concern given to it reminds me greatly of Africa as people are rarely in a hurry and not as worried about completing a task efficiently and quickly as just finishing it when they see fit. Living in this type of world is a good experience for any Westerner as it forces you to slow down and lets you take in some of the world surrounding you. Though we once had to sit at an intersection that lacked a stoplight for about 30 minutes because the police directing traffic were taking a tea break, the fluidity of Indian time has primarily benefited us. Many of the people we have visited at companies, despite their myriad of responsibilities, have given us hours of their time to talk about the work they do and answer all of our questions. An architect we met with, Goonmeet Chauhan, spent all day with us talking about the mall he designed, giving us a tour, eating lunch with us, and chatting with us about India. In sum, India is an incredible place with inspiring people. Though, as Westerners, it is easy to say how a developing country should become more like us, the modern world; the culture here can inform and teach us even more about our own culture and the way we see things than we can teach it.

This is my own take on the traditional french dessert (not only sans animal products, but with twist on flavor) It's finally cold in the deep south and nothing is better to cuddle up with than crème brûlée. In this version I use mango, but if you want a more fall feel, you can easily substitute pumpkin or butternut squash puree. Enjoy!
4 champagne mangoes (3 if you are using a larger variety of mango)
2 cans of coconut milk
1 C sugar
1 ½ T vanilla extract
3 T arrowroot (or cornstarch in a pinch)
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth, pour into a saucepan, and heat until mixture becomes a thick pudding like consistency, whisking frequently. Using a portion scoop or spoon divide mixture into ramekins (8-10) depending on size. Refrigerate for a few hours until firm. Set your oven to broil. (or if you have a culinary torch you can use that as well) Sprinkle the tops of the ramekins with sugar and place close to the heat source at the top of the oven for a few minutes until the sugar is slightly burnt and crunchy on top. Watch carefully, as this can happen quickly (you can leave the oven door slightly open to watch). Let set at room temperature for a few minutes until the sugar hardens, Top with a slice of mango if desired and serve immediately. I mean like, now. Go cuddle up with someone and eat crème brûlée already.

National Museum of Colombo, also known as the Sri Lanka National Museum is one of two museums in Colombo. It is the largest museum in Sri Lanka. It is maintained by the Department of National Museum of the central government.
The installation of the crown jewels and the throne of the last King of Kandy which were handed over back to Sri Lanka by the British Government, has greatly enhanced the quality of the museum collection. In spite of the enormousness of the various collections, thematic arrangement of the galleries has provided an opportunity to visitors to study the ancient culture of the Sri Lanka under one roof. This process has further been improved by the arrangement of the galleries of the ground floor in a historical sequence and those of the upper galleries on a thematic basis.

GROVELAND The Rim fire continued to devour thousands of acres of brush, pine and oak trees as it burned out of control near Yosemite National Park.
The wildfire had consumed 63,366 acres as of Thursday and threatened 2,500 homes around Pine Mountain Lake near Groveland. Containment was at 1 percent as more than 1,800 firefighters and other personnel battled the blaze in the Stanislaus National Forest.
The blaze was expected to continue up the Tuolumne River canyon and spread north and east.
Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Hanvelt said there had not been a fire of this magnitude in the county since the Stanislaus Complex fire a quarter-century ago.
In the summer of 1987, dry weather and parched vegetation were the catalysts for a dry-lightning fire that burned 147,000 acres in the Stanislaus National Forest. The blaze killed one firefighter and forced the evacuation of almost 2,000 people from their mountain homes.
"This is running the same footprint as the 1987 complex fire," Hanvelt said. "It has the potential of being very, very dangerous. But we have the best possible teams involved. Cal Fire is doing a great job."
Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency Thursday for Tuolumne County at county officials' request.
Tuolumne County Administrator Craig Pedro said in a news release that the declaration "opens the doors for additional state resources" for firefighting and recovery. The declaration also allows the county to seek federal aid.
The Rim fire started Saturday in a remote area near Groveland. It nearly quadrupled in size from Wednesday to Thursday, growing from more than 16,000 acres to 63,366 acres. Highway 120 into Yosemite remains closed.
It has destroyed two homes, seven outbuildings and three commercial buildings.
The fire has shrouded much of the county in smoke, leaving some people with stinging eyes, scratchy throats and breathing trouble.
The county's Public Health Department is advising vulnerable people, such as the elderly, to limit their time outdoors.
Sonora schools are taking precautions with their students, such as keeping them indoors when the air quality is poor.
Officials have closed campgrounds along Highway 120 and asked residents living near Pine Mountain Lake to consider leaving their homes.
On Thursday evening, the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Department issued an evacuation order for residents north of Ferretti Road to Elderberry Road.
The Red Cross has set up a shelter at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds in Sonora. Fifty-eight people spent Wednesday there, and officials expected more on Thursday evening.
Bob and Shirley Haliwell left their Pine Mountain Lake home and spent Wednesday night in their travel trailer at the fairgrounds.
They had planned to take a trip through Idaho, Montana, Canada, Washington and Oregon.
But they have reconsidered that now that much of the western United States is on fire and their home remains at risk.
"We don't want to leave without knowing what will happen," Bob Haliwell, 69, said.
"And I really don't want to go to Idaho with all that smoke and fire."
Three wildfires have burned nearly 400,000 acres in Idaho.
So the Haliwells will stay put at the fairgrounds along with other Pine Mountain Lake neighbors.
"This is a great place," Bob Haliwell said. "It has full hookups (for recreational vehicles and travel trailers), is centrally located, and a lot of our friends are here."
Others stayed with their Pine Mountain Lake homes.
Wayne Wilkins, 67, did not want to leave, though he had taken precautions by moving his recreational vehicle and two horses out of harm's way.
He also had packed his and wife Merrily's keepsakes and other valuables in case he had to leave in a hurry.
Flames got to within 5 miles of their home on Wednesday before firefighters knocked down the blaze.
"If they come by and say it's a mandatory evacuation, I'm ready to go," Wilkins said.
Because of the Rim fire, the Strawberry Music Festival will not take place on Labor Day weekend at Camp Mather near Yosemite National Park.
The roots music festival posted on its Facebook page Thursday afternoon the following announcement from the Tuolumne County Community Resources Agency and the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors:
"Due to the ongoing state of emergency and the potential adverse effects of the wildfire on public health, safety and welfare, the County of Tuolumne cannot allow the Strawberry Music Festival to occur at the site as originally permitted on the dates of Aug. 29 through Sept. 2."
Headliners this year included the Mavericks, Patty Griffin and Oakdale's Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit.

i dont feel it :'( but i can undertsand it :'( im just glad my gut doesnt it feel it - i trust my gut so much, it has given me good vibes for years and im telling you - my gut says we'll be just fine
in no particular order
the situation is that pri is upset because im on a french exchange and that means 1) living with a girl, 2) meeting the others multiple times in quick succession, and 3) we dont get to go to JAWS. now, although i understand her emotions, of hatred -towards the girls, jealousy, anger, self-hate, all of these things are understandable, but i love her. she says she is doubtful that what i feel is requited, and that she would go to greater lengths to make me happy, it is not true. one persons desire to make another person happy should not be measured on how much violence they are willing to cause - if anything it should be about how much peace they are able to make for their relationship. nonethelss i feel as though i am giving my all, maybe not quite 100% - which i will, im just not there yet - but i truly am trying to evade the situation for her, i truly am trying to be the best boyfriend i can. in these times we must think of others. this does not mean lose our priorities for priya and i have battled extremely hard over the past year in order to be together. we won every single battle. but what this does mean, however, is that we must not simply think of ourselves, when we need to pull together selfishness is not the way.
our history is rich with vicotory - small victories which, to the common person, would not seem significant or relevant in any respect. we're not normal - i think we know that. simply being able to see my priya, that is a victory worth fighting for and believe me i am not done fighting. i believe in love. i believe that her parents would eventually accept us, i believe in everythingn we have fought for in the past year and she says she can walk away - as though it is nothing to her. we have both sacrificed in the past, undoubtedly, why stop now. i am willing to work with her. the proposal she has laid out for me will lead to doom. there is no flexibility in her views. i know why she feels she doesnt need to be - she has done nothing wrong. but i believe that relationships work best with balance. with compromise and with sacrifice. she has proven herself to me before, with ecuador, she was left for a month with no contact to me and although i had to go through the same month, she was more alone. i am forever thankful for the way she pulled through that week and will always value her strength and patience. strength and patience.
with this new challenge which looms, no strength nor patience has been shown. even for me to try. she has little faith that i'll even do anything. she is so focused on results, getting what SHE wants, i feel as though everything we have been through is lost in her. burnt up in flames. it isnt within me, and i have a gut feel, rooted within me to fight. i want to show her, at any costs. i love her. thats what love is. but given that she doesnt and apparently cant show any strength nor perseverance, how am i supposed to find love. for me the love is endless and i know that i could get through a single week of upset for a lifetime of happiness. i understand that sometimes you dont always get to do the things you want straight away, you have to go to somewhere else before you can get to your destination and i understand that. im fearful that she doesnt. i would treat her angelically, loving her the way i do for the rest of my life.
that is what i want more than anything.
i feel unjustly placed in a situation where i am forced to do things. i feel tortured. i feel like i have lost her to be honest. and yet there are still embers of a fire inside of me. i still have the desire to fight, to live on, WITH HER, i need to. i almost feel coded for it.
please God, help us. help give priya and i, both, strength. help us - through our efforts - find a solution.
it is one week. a sacrifice must be made. dont let it be you priya.

UFO Sightings over China's Airports
Since June, several sightings of UFOs have been reported in China. And these are not our familiar oh-so-conspiracy-theory eye witness reports. Reports came from airports where flights have to be diverted or hold to the grounded because of unidentified flying objects picked up by airports radar. In other words; it involves the authority.
In Batou, Inner Mongolia; several passenger jets diverted. Sept 11
Xiaoshan Airpott, Hangzhou; airport shut down, affecting 18 flights. July 7
Similar occasions reported from XinJiang, Hunan, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces
People's Daily Online cited that "A source with knowledge of the matter, however, told China Daily on Thursday that authorities had learned what the UFO was after an investigation.But it was not the proper time to publicly disclose the information because there was a military connection".
Also the report from Telegraph, UK.
Since many official reports came regarding the issue, I would like to believe that it was really happening. The UFOs were there.
But, what are these UFOs?
Weather balloon? <--- hahaha
Alien crafts? <--- hahaha x10
Or... China is developing new high-tech military high-craft?
It might be as simple as some locals playing illuminated kites, mind you...
Or some pranksters fooling around with the authority, who knows?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our last child of four is graduating from Jenks High School this year. Jenks Public Schools is not perfect, but is the best quality public school in the State of Oklahoma without a doubt. In most cases it prepares its students better for college than the privates. Jenks Public Schools was the right choice for our family because it pushes its students to be successful in all areas academically, athletically and in the arts.
I am a parent and I am not too happy with the Jenks West school district. Employees are very arrogant, they feel very entitled, take a lot of time off. I think they have good results but they do not take into account that their pupils may also be different than other districts.
I'm going to break down the ratings of how I think this school is. I post this as a recent graduate from here; Pre-AP/AP Classes: 5/5 Out of all the schools in Oklahoma, I would say JHS possesses one of the best AP Programs in the state. If you or your child attends this school, invest in taking some AP courses. If not, in my opinion, you're really wasting your time here. The program helps assimilate you into college, if just by a little bit. Normal Classes: 2.5-3/5 Regular classes here are a mixed bag. Depending on the teacher, you can either have a great year, or a horrible one. I would say a large part of it depends on student participation, and students not in the AP program tend to be very apathetic... Social Life: 3-4/5 Jenks is very clique-y, but what high school isn't? It took me a while to find my place here, but when I did, I enjoyed my time at school. Administration: 3.5/5 Depending on the individual, you'll either have a very nice person helping you, or the most irritated one ever. Most of the administrative staff is nice, so long as you're smart enough not break the rules every week. If you're a one or two time offender a year, you'll usually get off easy.
I have gone to Jenks all the way through Pre-K. Jenks has many incredible academic opportunities. By taking a test in 5th grade and passing, students can be taking Calculus their Sophomore year. Jenks does spend a lot of money on football, but football makes a lot of money for the school from ticket sales. Jenks has always been an incredible school
bite me and i bite you back. punch me and i punch you back. kick me and i run away. Thats what i learned at jenks.
Switching Too Jenks Was The WORST Desicion Ive Ever Made. Union Is Wayy Better! I just Switch To Jenks Last Year 2012 Second Semester From Union PS. Let Me tell you !! At Jenks the woman in the office's Are Soooo Rudee ! Too Me and My Momm. Ive never though About writing a review untill Today. Today I got treated Like I Was nobody! I Went To the Office in Building 5 To Ask for a Change schedule Form But Before I Could even Ask The Lady Look me dead in my fast With A Mean look and said " GO.. To class" I was Almost in tears ! And the Reason I want a schedule change is because They gave me the same exact teachers I switch from last year. There so busy worrying about the Sports that they just dont care ! Even the lady at the enrollment center is very rude ! When you're there Enrolling she will treat you as if your ghost that she cant see even though sees you or seen you coming! And there soooooooooooo strict ! After the incident that happened today My Mom has agreeed that I need to go back To My Old School ASAP ! Were working on moving. I honestly thought that Jenks would be good. thought I would love it and learn alot but....I was wrong.
It's a great school. We also like swimming team and the band. It's great all around.
Jenks School system has changed for the worse over the years. Had one daughter graduate in 2005 and the school and teachers were easy to get along with and would help meet your needs. Like transferring out of class to another teacher due to teaching habits/skills. My second daughter was to be put in afterschool math in 5th grade year. She made mention noone could help her with the math made inquiry about it, with no result end of that school year, was visiting with another frustrated parent, teacher over hears conversation and says, my daughter was supposed to be in her class but some how was posted to just afterhour study hall, and now in 9th grade tried to transfer her out of a poor teaching english class teacher bounces around to differnent concepts, writes over top of other words, so now you can't make them out. etc... Three meetings never able to transfer , lost okpromise tuition, due to grades and all this daughter did was study and do homework no extra activities or going out because I stressed she could not do anything if she was below 2.5 grade average. But she scores above average on state tests in english and is failing in her english, go to .BIXBY,GLENPOOL,SKIATOOK
One, if not number one, of the best public schools in the US - hands down!
Some of the negative reviews floor me. I was a Jenks lifer, but I did not come from money, never played a sport, and never had an issue with drugs or alcohol. The school does not dictate your social "role", nor does it care more about athletics than academics. Just look at the standardized test scores and you'll realize that the few and far between, on this site, do not represent the whole when it comes to the teachers, students, or staff. Now that my wife and I are moving back to Tulsa, we are looking at buying a house in the Jenks district as our first criteria. If you or your kids do not thrive with amazing teachers, mentors, and extra-curricular anything then feel free to transfer. I would love for my kids to take their place.
The high school staff encourages drama and bullying. The staff tends to look the other way as your child gets picked on. If you appeal any disciplinary decision from your child s self defense then they will humor you at the meeting and cause more anxiety to your child by making him feel ashamed. If your child is not aggressive or a have personality type A, then you should expect your child to suffer bouts of anxiety and depression by his/her senior year. My child used to eat lunch in the restroom stall to escape the verbal abuse
I am currently a sophomore in Jenks and have been going here since Pre-K. The school focuses and appreciates only students with a lot of money, talent, and straight A's. The standards for students are nearly impossible, everything is expected to be perfect and there is no leniency for anyone who does not meet the standards. Instead of investing their money in the classroom and students, they spend all their money on extracurricular activities and sports. The school is highly evasive with both parents and students life's, and are rare to give anyone a break. It is extremely easy to feel left out, because Jenks is one of the worst schools you will ever find when it comes to cliques. The classes are usually never entirely free, sometimes far from it. Vocal is $100 per semester, with a $100 dress and $100 t-shirt. Teachers are very careless and insensitive to students needs, if you have to go to the nurse, forget it. Bathroom, forget it. Everything comes with a catch, and faculty members worry way too much about small things such as cell phones and dress code. I got 4 hour long detentions for not being able to afford a temporary id. I wouldn't recommend Jenks for the average teenager.
I LOVE Jenks! Jenks PS is my first experience with a public school and they are not perfect but overall they have the most fantastic academic program, athletics, and opportunities for kids to join clubs and other activities. To say you MUST have money to go there is untrue. Our family doesn't and we have never felt less worthy to be there. They have many programs to assist families who want to be involved. For those complainers: go make a positive difference by volunteering there. Help them help your kids.
i really love jenks high school. i would not want to be at any other school!
Jenks is an awesome school attend. I am currently a sophomore and will have to say that Jenks is only for the kid who wants to be challenged by a tough curriculum. This year (2011-2012) Jenks is opening it's new Math and Science Center which is one of only three in the nation. This new facility consists of a state-of-the-art observatory and a planetarium. This building haw three stories. Two of which have classrooms in them. Jenks has also just finished its new Auquatics Center. We are among the top 1% of schools in Oklahoma. Jenks does focus a lot on football, but provides all students with equal opportunities. We are also one of five schools in the nation to achieve the Presidential Academic Award. There are cliques and you do need affluent parents to make it here. I came from a private school that will remain anonymous in which I felt I wasn't being provided a quality education. At Jenks, football and extracurricular activities are a must. Jenks serves 31 square miles of students and has a graduation rate of 96%. Based on all of the above info you know you love Jenks. Go to www.jenksps.org and check us and ourndistrict out A Tradition of Excellence with a Vision for Tomorrow.
I am a "lifer" graduate of Jenks High School...as well as my husband. When we started having children, we did EVERYTHING we could to get into the district. My 6 children attend the East Campus and will all be "lifers" as well. I have been reading most of the reviews on here...not all true and/or have sour grapes. Money is not a necessity in this schoool. One of the most less fortunate kids in my graduating class was popular, extraordinary at sports, was a class officer and excelled in everthing he did. He was recognized by most of the student body as well as the faculty. Yes, this school is know for it's sports...but also it's academics. My income levels doesn't even scratch the surface of some of the elbows I rub on a daily basis on campus and it doesn't matter. We are a FAMILY. A Jenks Family!
This is a GREAT school! ... if you're a football player. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.
To give you perpective, I graduated from Jenks in 2008 and am now a junior at OU. The Middle school and Elementary schools have promise. The teachers are thoughtful and flexible with not only the student s but with those parents who like to be "involved" in their child's schoolwork. The HS campus, while seeming vast, was too small for the amount of students who attend there. My graduating class was about 750 people--now multiply that by four. The academics were generally good, I guess. I took every Ap class they had to offer and I highly suggest them. They do a great job prepareing students for college courses. I was also in the band program, and found it way underfunded but overall, enjoyable.From the inside i know 9/10 of these reviews to be accurate. Also, keep in mind, money and football are extremely important at Jenks.
I went to JHS from Pre-K through Sophmore year. I left and went on to a Private High School where I graduated in 2009. Even though I was going to be a 'Lifer' it was still hard to go to school there. You may think that since it is so big that no one really knows anything about you. Well, when I went there everyone knows everything about you. That's how Jenks is. You are also expected to do as well in your classes as the top person in your class. If you don't have money, don't go to Jenks. I had a great last 2 years of high school at my Private school. Even with the uniforms!
i go to jenks and i am none too pleased with the workings. the band is a total popularity contest as are the other groups. academically (?) it is a great school. but you definitely need to shell out the cash

A vital element of any business venture is the marketing and communications strategy that underpins the business. Rarely is it enough to build a web site and expect it to create its own traffic.

This includes the planning and creation of a marketing and communications strategy that maps the development of the web site and provides metrics to measure its performance. Our approach is to include the web site as just one element in the total marketing mix, with the result that our strategy is aligned with other key corporate objectives. The website is not just a stand-alone marketing tool.

This accident is believed to have occurred between 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Physical evidence at the scene indicates that the victim, Robert Verdin, was running eastbound in the designated bike lane with the flow of traffic on Palomar Airport Road. It appeared the suspect vehicle was also traveling eastbound on Palomar Airport Road and for unknown reasons drove into the bike lane, hitting Verdin and throwing him into the bushes where he was found. After the impact, the vehicle continued eastbound hitting the south cement curb of Palomar Airport Road. Evidence of tire scuffmarks on the curb shows the right side tires hit the curb and went up onto the dirt shoulder. The vehicle continued eastbound straddling the curb for approximately 80' before returning to the roadway. Based on evidence at the scene, the vehicle is believed to be a 1989 Ford Taurus.
