Project Description
The social network consists of users and groups, and users may be members of one or several groups. So in some sense, it's a group management platform.
In the social network, there are users who can connect to a group via an authorization process. The owner/administrator of the group is the user who creates the group. Other users who are connected to the group or are added to the group may receive certain privileges from the owner so that they can post on behalf of the group and perform certain administrative functions. These group members are staff members.
A group has its own page, where it can have sub pages. The users who are connected to the group receive the newsfeed stream from the group. The activity of the group is shown in the group's newsfeed and in the newsfeed of users who are connected to the group.
The sub pages of the group are all shown in the same framework, where the menu and header are always the same, and the content of the sub pages is changed with a WYSIWYG editor.
If a user wishes to connect to a group, the user must click on "Connect" and provide certain information to be approved by the group owner.
Every group has staff members and regular members. Staff members are added by the group administrator, and regular members must connect to the group via an authorization process. Staff members have privileges to post status updates, calendar events and photos on behalf of the group. They may also have access to the Shifts Planner and SMS Text Messages System.
Features description:
Newsfeed: this is similar to Facebook and shows various activity in the social network, for example status updates, calendar events, pictures and notifications.
Messages: this is an overview of messages, and it should be possible to send directly to a user, to a group, and directly to an email address. A message may have several recipients.
Calendar/events: this is a simple calendar function where events have a description and date and time. The event may belong to a group or to a personal user. The calendar is shown on the group's page and on your personal page under Events.
Photos: both users and group's can post pictures as albums. An album can belong to a sub segment of the group, i.e. only a selection of users receive the photo update. All photo updates are put in the group's newsfeed and in users' newsfeed who are connected to the group.
Status updates: this is text and images, and is displayed similar to Facebook.
Connections (friends): This is a list of people that the user is connected to.
Shifts Planner (premium feature): this is a staff management solution where the administrator of the group and all staff members can see staff member's shifts in a Gantt diagram.
SMS Text Messages System (premium feature): this is a simple web to SMS system where staff members can send SMS text messages to users who are connected to the group. They can also schedule SMS messages to be sent later.
Own domain (premium feature): Instead of having a page on the social network, the group may have its own domain name, for example www.groupname.com. This is controlled in the settings page of the group.
With regards to the Upgrade to Premium, we will need a payment solution, and this should be Paypal. We want it programmed so that the user who is paying for the premium features does not leave the website when paying.
Mobile version: A simple mobile version of the site shall also be programmed.
NOTICE: A full mockup prototype is delivered in Axure. In addition, we have graphical examples of several pages delivered in PSD and PNG. Further, there is a video presentation of all of the system where the details are outlined.
Any developer or company that wishes to embark on this project should be available via Skype and email.
With regards to payment: You get 40 % of the total cost as the project starts. You get another 40 % when the project is completed. And you get the remaining 20 % after bug fixes.

He is widely credited as the architect of the nation's first community policing program and served as a founding member of President Bill Clinton's National Advisory Council on the Violence Against Women Act. Facts and Findings Concerning Community Policing: A Chat with Former Tulsa Police Chief Drew Diamond By Rich Fisher • Jul 26, 2016 Police violence, police shootings, and police brutality -- and acts of murder or terror committed against the police themselves -- have been on the rise in America in ways that are deeply and pervasively troubling -- not to mention downright scary. "Shots on the Bridge: Police Violence and Cover-Up in the Wake of Katrina" By Rich Fisher • Sep 28, 2015 On this edition of ST, we speak Ronnie Greene, an investigative journalist for the Associated Press who also teaches graduate writing at Johns Hopkins University. Ex-Officer Claims Surveillance Violated his Rights By Associated Press • Nov 10, 2012 Tulsa County Booking Photo TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A former Tulsa police officer serving a 10-year prison sentence for his role in a corruption scandal says a videotaped FBI sting that showed him stealing money during what he thought was a motel drug bust violated his constitutional rights. Ex-Corporal Harold Wells, a 35-year-police veteran, made the claim in a brief filed Thursday with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Wells was among 11 officers to be charged or named as unindicted co-conspirators in the scandal, which was among the worst to ever hit the department.

If you want Peru pics, gimme your email.
If you want a Xmas card, leave your address. Don't assume I have it. Ask Leina, she's given me her address a million times.
Goddamn I'm tired from making this office impeccable for our office party. *sighs* I have a lot of Xmas cards so be selfish and make my life a little easy, thanks. :)

I had fun in Vegas. There, I said it. Shocking as it may be, Vegas is actually a destination that can appeal to me since the food is terrific, the shopping is great, and god help me for finding the locational depictions accurate. Now mind you, I do not suggest staying at the Venetian as a way of making up for never seeing Venice. But if Vegas is the Disneyland for adults, then it might just be the happiest place on Earth! Well ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves...
I ended up getting a room at the Barbary Coast my first night there for only $80! They only had one handicapped room left so they gave it to me. They renovated the hotel rooms and I got a NICE room with a huge flat screen tv. Since it was a handicapped room, there was no bathtub, but I felt like I got a great deal nonetheless. That night I watched Cheaters and had what would be my only night that weekend sleeping well.
Saturday morning I got a facial at the Paris Hotel. It was freakin amazing! My esthetician is originally from the Bay Area so we waxed poetic about high rent, restaurants, and the interesting cornucopia of people that make San Francisco the unique city it is. After that, I met up with my family at the Paris buffet where I had breakfast eats and all you can eat crab legs, which I'm paying for dearly now. I hate having such sensitive skin. :( Honestly though, it was worth it! They put down a huge plate of crab legs on the table, along with massive bowls of melted butter. Let's just say I went to town. I have no regrets. :)
Later that afternoon, my mom and I went to the half price ticket booth to get show tickets. My mom doesn't get that you can't just walk up to a place and get half price Cirque tickets. First of all, they SELL OUT FAST. And secondly, she didn't have much in the way of a "backup plan" so I gave her my choices. When I went there, I had my mind set on seeing either O, Mystere (wasn't happening for the two) or Phantom of the Opera. Sure enough, the half price booth was selling Phantom tix. They also had tix for Mamma Mia which I suggested for the group outing. So my mom relented and got 2 Phantom tix for us and 7 Mamma Mia tix for the group. Yes, we were ambitious enough to see back to back shows because that's how we roll.
We got to Phantom at what was supposed to be about 25 minutes before showtime. But we were waiting for what seemed to be an eternity in line. Turns out there were some "technical difficulties" and the show started an HOUR late, argh! Thankfully once we were all seated, they started the show in lightning speed. The show itself was spectacular. Actually, I can't really give the experience justice with words. I will however say that the special effects were amazing, the score was wonderful (brought back memories of when I played All I Ask of You, and the storyline is great. And the fact that my mom loved it only goes to show that people need to listen to me sometimes. Or at least pretend to. For god's sake, have trust me in me! ;)
So with the show starting an hour late, I was seriously worried we weren't gonna make Mamma Mia in time, which was on the other side of the strip. There was a line at the taxi stand, and I got really fidgety. My mom however, was feeling optimistic, which was a blessing because I was afraid they were gonna turn us down at the door. In any case, we made it with 2 minutes to spare, so that was great.
Mamma Mia was so awesome! It would be unfair to compare it to Phantom, but I loved it enough to buy the show soundtrack! My entire family thought it was great too, so I'm glad I suggested it. Doing back to back shows is not something I recommend, but I honestly had so much fun. Unfortunately, my dad's sleeping kept me up that night, which made for a crabby me the following morning.
Sunday my dad and I had brunch at the Bellagio, which was really yummy. I had prime rib, rack of lamb, roasted duck, rice,and lemon bars. Yes, I know, great combo, right? After that, we ended up going to Caesars Palace (which is gorgeous) and we took a ton of pictures. And once we parted our separate ways, I did a little bit of shopping at Fresh, Vosges Chocolates, and Anthropologie.
Afterwards I took a cab to the Wynn, which is also quite beautiful. I ended up buying some gourmet chocolate at Frederic Robert, then sent off a few postcards. The Wynn concierge is amazing. If you think customer service is dead, go here. So yep, that was my trip. I'm back, I'm tired, and ready to hit the hay.

long needed update
So I'm officially 30 now and I'm quite happy about that. When people say, oh I wish I were 21 I'm assuming they mean they want to "look" young. I mean honestly, I'm SO GLAD I'm 30 now. If hopping from shitty job to shitty job and having pathetic paychecks is a great time of your life then by all means, live it up. But I feel much more content in the knowledge I have now that I so obviously didn't have back then. Brad Pitt was right: "I'll take wisdom over youth any day."
My 20's weren't all negative though. I got to travel a lot and see places I never thought I would see. I have to thank Fred in particular for opening my eyes to camping although to this day I'm only camping if flush toilets are available at the campsite. I can honestly say I'm living out my lifelong dream of seeing the world, even on a small income. I still have a lot of places to see, but I am taking it one trip at a time.
My cousin is flying out here from Montreal for my brother's wedding, yay!!! She's from Vancouver originally but currently lives in Montreal. I don't think I've seen her in over 5 years! So I guess in a way it'll be a reunion of sorts. This tends to happen during weddings and funerals as many of you are probably familiar with. It's too bad I can't get any time off work to show her around but I'll make the most of my time with her as soon as I get off work.
My sister is 21 today. 21 seems like ages ago! I bought her a great gift at Nordstrom. Unfortunately I can't call her because it looks like I lost my damn cell phone. The last known time I had it was in the cab on our way home last night. Argh! :(

Ugh, I feel like crap from a combination of a cold and allergies. It sucks because I have no energy for work and I need to be alert and taking a lot of information in since my coworker Aubree is leaving for her trip tomorrow. I think for the most part I have everything together but the real test is doing everything by myself. We'll see how it goes.
I'm so excited about seeing Velvet Revolver with Fred this Saturday!!! It's also gonna be Cinco de Mayo so I'm gonna try and eat lots of yummy Mexican food as well. Speaking of Fred, he's back from his UK business trip and he kindly got me some fabulous souvenirs: 2 magnets (one from London and one from Scotland) and a black Harrods tote. From what he's told me, it's insanely expensive there so he's definitely glad to be back home.
Finally signed up for health benefits at work: opted for the $20 copay Kaiser plan. I am in desperate need of making eye & OB appts. And in true Emily fashion, I always wait till the last minute to schedule them, thus stressing me out. I have so much on my mind that those 2 things are always the last things I remember.
Looking forward to the Canucks game tonight although I always get nervous right before them. I'm happy the Sharks won last night and now it's time for my team to kick some ass! I swear if both the Sharks & Canucks advance to the 3rd round, I'm so getting myself a ticket even if it's insanely expensive. I'll cross that bridge when it comes though.

2 interviews!
Yes, that's right... I scored myself not just one, but TWO interviews. The first one gave me a call and we set up an interview originally for Friday, but got a call a few hours later changing it to Thursday at 11:30am. And maybe an hour later I get another call from a different company wanting to set up an interview for tomorrow at 3pm. :) So after sending out damn near 50 resumes, I've heard back from 2 in the same day, which for me is an accomplishment. ;)
I just took a yummy Lush bath and I smell scrumptious. I can't stop sniffing myself! Since I've already used pretty much all the bath bombs, bubble bars, and melts, I'm going back to my old favorites for now until they make new ones. Although instead of 3 a week, I'm only using 2 since after all I'm still without a job... I need to keep my sanity though.
Last night I met up with my friend Hanh for dinner (he was kind enough to pay!) and we chatted for a little bit at this totally cool looking bar called the Lime. So I'm in the bathroom, and lo and behold, there's a TV in there, I'm not even kidding. The movie was 40 Days And 40 Nights, LOL. I recognized it because I'd seen it in the theater, but talk about bizarre! Anyone else been to a place like this?
Afterwards we went to Cote Sud in the Castro for dinner, and I got 3 courses for $25! My first course was rock shrimp risotto, then I had a filet mignon in peppercorn sauce (which was oddly similar to what I made with kobe beef not too long ago), and well dessert was shall we say, interesting. The only way I can describe it is that it's a fruitcake ice cream, but it didn't taste bad. I was looking for the creme brulee and was sadly disappointed by its absence. Anyway, this is a gem of a restaurant and I definitely will go more often once I have solid funds coming in.
I then had this crazy idea of dragging Hanh to the Mint for karaoke. He pleaded and begged with me not to go but I was quite the insistent one. Did I mention how much I love that place? I think I wanna have my future bachelorette party there. Screw the male strippers, I want my Smirnoff Ice and cheesy karaoke! Anyway I had enough courage to sing 2 songs this time around: Madonna's Crazy For You and Bon Jovi's Livin On A Prayer. Yes, I know what you're thinking... what gave me the crazy idea that *I* could actually pull off Bon Jovi? Well that's where the Smirnoff Ice came in... :) Anyway, I did surprisingly well and complete strangers were cheering me on once again. :) Hanh sang If I Had A Million Dollars (forget who sings that) and Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven. There were some incredible singers in the house, and one that stands out in my mind is the butch lesbian who sang Train's Drops of Jupiter. Her singing was deep and soulful.
Ok, enough about that... sorry I just get so giddy thinking about the next time I get to go to the Mint. :) Tomorrow will also be cooking duty for me in lovely North Beach... salmon & rice, with steamed green beans I think. Anyway, I'll be crossing my fingers in hopes that tomorrow's and Thursday's interviews go well. :)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Heh, forgive the caps, I'm just so excited. As of Monday, I'll be a receptionist at Nuvo International at Newpark Mall so if any of you guys stop by, you get half off services like facials, botox, scar removal, tat removal, etc. :) Finally, crisis averted. :)

get me the hell outta here...
I babysat early today because Leina, her sister, and I are gonna be heading over to San Jose to meet Rachael Ray from 30 Minute Meals. She is doing a book signing at Sur La Table so it'll definitely be fun. I still have to buy her book but I'm figuring they're selling it there, so I'll just get it in San Jose. It's always nice having new cookbooks just for inspiration. I never really get to cook anything but I love flipping through cookbooks anyway. I've only really cooked with Chris, and it was nothing too difficult.
I must be PMS'ing because I want sex and chocolate. Not necessarily at the same time, but damn... I need a distraction so I don't dwell on my obvious physical needs. Hmm, ok I have an unexplained bruise on my left hand... have no idea how that got there! I'm just basically bored out of my mind, although I think I'm gonna just sit back, listen to music, and maybe get some more Harry Potter done. I'm not even close to being in the middle yet, for those of you who are wondering. ;) Don't worry, I'll finish it eventually, haha.
August looks like it'll be a busy month... gonna make my monthly pilgrimage to the magical land of SoCal, see the GoGo's on August 15 (hah happy now Leina??), see Baby Grand on Aug. 22, (both in Sachole), and hopefully attend the SJ Jazz Festival with Nicole. At last year's jazz festival, I damn near died of heat exhaustion... it was damn near 100 degrees. We sought refuge in the nicely air conditioned Waldenbooks that was nearby. Hot weather sucks, because I feel all gross in it, and it makes me tired. Maybe it's just the Bay Area girl in me, but I like the low-upper 60's... perfect weather right there. :)
I got an unexpected phone call last night from one of the preschool parents. She says her daughter misses me and was wondering if I could do some babysitting. I said I could pretty much do it as long as it doesn't interfere with babysitting Lavanya, which really shouldn't be a problem seeing I don't have anything else to do besides babysitting. Getting extra cash is always a good thing. Alright, time to do something productive, haha. I'll try and update about the events of Sur La Table later tonight. :)

my good deed for the day
After talking to Shawn yesterday about his dilemma, he found me on messenger today to say thanks for calling him when he was feeling down and that he had a nice long talk with the girl and straightened things out. I am so happy for him! Shawn is one of my dearest friends in the world... it's just too bad he lives all the way out in BC. :( I dunno what I would do without my music guru.
So to all of you who even get the tiniest inkling that a friend is feeling down, just call and talk to them. Little things like that really do matter. (Wow, was that Jerry Springer at the end of his show or WHAT! hahaha)

Pirates, contests, and birthday reminders galore
Pirates of the Caribbean was pretty good. It wasn't spectacular or anything but it was pretty good. There was a lot of hotness in that movie so that was definitely good. Wet, hot people are an awesome thing, what can I say. There was a lot of sword fighting, if you're into that thing, and Johnny Depp had a pretty good performance. So for those of you wondering if it would be a waste of a good $9.25 (yeah, what is this world coming to when it costs that much to see a movie, I would have to say it isn't. Just be sure not to miss out on T3 too because it was very good. Of course nothing can live up to T2, but T3 was great, even if it was a bit short.
I have been entering online contests like crazy. Why, I have no idea. I think it's because I'm bored and in terrible need of a life. The one that I've been entering pretty much every day is the Emeril Live one. I would SO die to see his show live. And if I did win, I could bring along 3 or 4 other people and I can think of some people who wouldn't mind going. ;) Plus it would help out on the hotel bill!!!
Seems I know a lot of people with summer birthdays, most of whom are from SoCal. What am I saying, I'm a summer birthday too... *sigh* Right now I am trying to find inspiration on what to get people for their birthdays. Anyone up for a day in Great America for my birthday? LOL I haven't been there in a few years. Jenai and I always talked about getting season passes but I haven't heard from her in a while. :( She's probably getting busy for her big trip to Europe. That lucky bitch, I am so jealous. I haven't been to Europe in 10 years. I am long overdue for a trip. :)

the moment you've all been waiting for...
Yesterday I spent way too much money... but I now have a Vancouver Canucks italian charm, wooo. Damn my expensive hobbies. Leina wants me to come up with a list of stuff I want for fucking CHRISTMAS, wtf. Heh, it's my birthday in September, helloooo! ;) Anyway for those of you who are just dying to know what I want for my birthday, because I know the suspense is killing you, here it is:
Birthday/Christmas List:
1. bookstore gift certificate
2. Skirts' Smashing The Sky cd (dibs go to Leina, she called it)
3. something I don't already have from
4. Gap gift certificate
5. Old Navy gift certificate
6. Nordstrom gift certificate
7. day at Great America
8. day at Tragic Mountain
9. Trading Spaces t shirt
10. Sephora gift certificate
11. a cool colorful Italian charm you think would suit my personality
12. cool concert I would enjoy
13. Zagat Guide of the Bay Area, LA, or NY persuasions <--new additions to my list
14. Lather gift certificate <--new addition to my list
Ok people, do you see a common theme here? In other words, I am the easiest fucking person to shop for!!! When in doubt, BUY A GIFT CERTIFICATE! I highly endorse the gift certificate. It is the most thoughtless gift anyone can come up with, but it is a blessing in disguise. If you think of it as cash in card form, then it's not so bad. Woo, and it gives you the liberty of picking something YOU WANT. Speaking of which, I still have a $20 gift certificate from Old Navy I haven't used. In any case, the only tricky things would be the Emily Strange stuff and the Italian charms. If you want to know what I own, email me and I'll send you a list so you don't make the mistake of getting something I already have. ;)
I am taking my sweet ass time reading Harry Potter. So sue me. I just want to make sure I take in all the minute details. As much as I enjoy the Harry Potter books, I was just never one to skim a book. Maybe that's why I have a pile of them sitting waiting for me... ok well not a pile, but I do have some on my list that I would like to get to sooner or later. Everyone wants to discuss the Harry Potter ending with me though, and as tempting as it is to ruin it for myself, I won't.
I am going to see Pirates of the Caribbean tonight, woohoo. :) Even if the movie sucks, I will have my butter laden popcorn because no movie is complete without the popcorn. I think movie theater popcorn is one of my favorite smells in the world. Whenever I smell it, I have tunnel vision. Must. have. popcorn. now. And plus Keira's in Pirates! I would say the hot chick always saves the movie, but that definitely wasn't the case with The Hulk. If any of you are thinking of seeing it, don't waste your money, or even more importantly, your sanity. On that note, I will be getting some lunch. Mmm, scrambled eggs...

invasion of the twins
My 7 year old twin second cousins are here visiting from San Diego, and the house is turning into a bit of a zoo. They're running up and down the stairs, screaming their little heads off, but thankfully I have a headset on and I'm content listening to music. One of the twins Kayla, is in a combination class because she is so smart. Just yesterday I was asking her if she'd seen Finding Nemo, and she said she had. And then I asked if she was scared of the scary shark with big teeth. She said, "No, because that's just ANIMATION." Heh, can you believe that came out of a 7 year old's mouth? Oh and get this, she can already write in CURSIVE. Damn. The other twin Amanda provided me with some comic relief as well. I asked if she knew how to read in kindergarten, and she said, "No, we just turned the pages and that's it." Hahahaha, ahh kids crack me up sometimes. :)
Yesterday my babysitting stint was cut short because Lavanya had a seizure. :( My heart sank, she looked so exhausted and confused. The last time she had one was actually back in August when I first started babysitting her, but it wasn't anything obvious where she was convulsing or anything. She had a "staring episode" where she would just stare off into space for long periods of time and not respond to outside stimuli. I remember mentioning it to her mother when it happened, just thinking it was a short attention span, but she informed me the day after that it was in fact, a seizure. And in the time I've known her she hadn't had one until yesterday. Lavanya kinda lashed out when she saw me, I don't think she likes it when I leave for days on end. So when I said hi to her she just wanted me to leave. I know she's just a kid and meant nothing by it, but it just broke my heart. This is all Rob's fault!!! LOL j/k But I just hope my poor baby feels better today. She is such a good, sweet, intelligent kid and I am lucky to know her.

say hi to Amy Wynn!
Yes, she is my new icon... and for those of you who don't know who she is, she's the kickass female carpenter on Trading Spaces! Whenever I see her on tv, I just can't help but smile. She has such an engaging, funny personality, and she is a big part of the reason why that show is great. Doug is my favorite designer on there, and although he can be whack sometimes, Doug is very much loved.
I just got back from the most AMAZING trip to SoCal ever. I flew in on Wednesday and had lunch with Rob at Wendy's(mmm nuggets), went back to his apt and watched some shows on his replay (Extreme Elimimination Challenge, The Amazing Race, etc) and then went to the Angels/Rangers game that night. Our seats weren't bad at all, and the Angels won, which made Rob a very happy guy. Can't really get too enthused about them seeing well... never mind, let's not rehash that. :P So anyway we got hungry at the game and spent a good 20 minutes just looking for this bbq place that had an amazing smell. Turns out the only one in the park was the one closest to us. So I had the bbq sandwich and Rob had the roast beef which was dripping in fat.
Thursday we ate at Taco Mesa, mmm... love that place. I've had different meats with each visit: chicken, fish, and just recently beef. It's about time I tried the carnitas. :) That place never disappoints me. During lunch Rob and I discussed the option of buying movie tickets online for T3 because I had a feeling it would be insanely popular. So after killing a small amount of time back at the apartment, Rob fandango'd the tickets and we headed out to Universal City. The movie was so good! I highly recommend it to everyone. It was a bit short, but at that point of time, I really had to use the bathroom so I was anxious for it to be done. I didn't want to miss a single scene. Afterwards we had some chicken at this Cuban place at the food court there and by the time we finished, it was time to head on over to the concert: Skid Row, Vince Neil, and Poison. Yes, hairband city. I actually love cheesy 80's music, so it's not like Rob dragged me or anything. The show was beyond anything I could ever have expected. To say it was awesome would be an understatement. Skid Row was pretty good, but not the best act. Vince Neil was kicking some MAJOR ASS, wow. And Poison, well I think just about everyone stood up for them, except the chick sitting next to me, who unfortunately was dragged to the concert by her 70 year old boyfriend. That guy was funny. Rob and I smiled at each other and laughed when he said, "Man, this band CRANKS!" Cranks? Please. Act your age ok? ;) So yes it was fun fun fun. *still smiling in giddy contentment over it* Ohhh, there were actual mini sofas with ottomans in the lounge area. That rocked! I basically put my feet up and relaxed before the show started. I mean, why sit in uncomfortable seats when you can relax on comfy leather? Yes, I think the choice is clear. :)
The 4th of July was rather uneventful. We had lunch at Red Robin where I got a cup of chicken tortilla soup and my usual chicken red's rice bowl. Mmm, good stuff. And then I had to convince Rob to take me to South Coast Plaza so I can make some chick purchases at Sephora, aka lipstick, eye pencil, and perfume. He quickly vanished from sight and I was left to buy my stuff. I spent $66, ouch... but that perfume lasts 8 years so I really shouldn't complain. I'm the biggest cheap ass when it comes to stuff, but there are some things worth paying more for. After that we went mini golfing in Fountain Valley, and the course just SUCKED ASS. I got very agitated very fast, but Rob calmed me down in a nice soothing manner. Thank god he was there. I probably would've cracked someone's head with my golf ball, I was that pissed. Then later that night, Chris came over for eats and we headed on over to Coco's because I HAD to have my salmon. C'mon, we all get food cravings. I just wanted some seafood ok? :P Chris brought some truffles for all of us to eat, and they were very good. He was not impressed when we told him we already had ice cream though. So he headed over to DQ to get some, and he took a really long time. But in the end, he came back with some stuff, and we hung out watching cheesy music videos while I silently prayed for a Britney video to come on... *inside joke there*
Yesterday was a totally laid back lazy day. Rob and I decided to have lunch at PF Chang's and when we came back to the apartment I took a 2 hour nap while Rob read his book. I swear I felt revitalized when I woke up. I haven't been sleeping too well lately. :( I think a lot of it has to do with allergies. By the time I woke up, it was too late to go anywhere, and Brian kindly informed us he would be bbq'ing. Wooo, I got Brian to bbq. :) That made me very happy, as Brian is a wonderful cook. It's one of his best talents. I gave him $20 for it, and did my part in setting up the table. While the food was cooking, Rob and I watched 10 Things I Hate About You on DVD. By the time the food was ready, I had to wolf it all down because my flight was fast approaching. So after giving Brian a hug and a thank you, Rob dropped me off at the airport. Now I'm home, and although it feels nice, I am already missing SoCal. *whimper*

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead is next on HBO... god help me, I love that silly movie. :) I remember the commercials for it too, and it came out in 91, wow. David Duchovny's in it too, interesting little tidbit for those of you who may or may not have noticed before. :)
Leina, now you have me listening to my Willy Wonka soundtrack. "She was a bad egg, *honk *honk*" Hahahaha. :) That movie was great, and yes anyone who doesn't get the snozzberries reference should be smacked. Ohhh that reminds me, I should probably tell my little version of Saturday's events. ;) You conveniently omitted the whole Pocky incident!
The Pocky Incident:
So yes, still unsure of Gerri's ethnicity, and seeing that I had some Pocky in my purse, Leina decided to test her Asianness by seeing if Gerri knew what Pocky was. So we're in the bar, drinking away (ok that's mostly Leina) and Gerri spots us and comes toward us. Leina has some of Gerri's nasty ass jack & coke and I go, hey Gerri, want a pocky? ;) Hahaha, I'm so slick. I have mad skizzils, what can I say. And she goes, what's that? I damn near died.. I snuck a look at Leina and thought, hmm well she failed that part of the pocky test: recognition. And then she takes one bite right, and then DEEP THROATS the rest of it. Whoa, definitely nice seeing her take that Pocky whole, even though her eating approach did not fulfill the Asian test. Mmm lucky husband. ;)
I honestly don't remember the sequence of events leading up to me finding out she was Asian, but she did make Leina and I guess her ethnicity. She did say she was part Asian, and I swear we guessed everything BUT Chinese! Thai? Indonesian? Japanese? Hahaha, we were so pathetic. And then she threw in the little tidbit about being part Cherokee... that was a bit of a nice surprise I think. Wooooo half breeds. :) Gerri just rocks even more for that, and being a great conversationalist. She's a bubbly, interesting gal and I like her.
Leina and I were staring at the vegan chick's long beautiful hair. It made me want to grow it long again. Hers looked so silky and beautiful, and Leina thinks it's b/c of her diet. I would have to agree. See, the thing with having hair that long and beautiful is that it's a BITCH to comb out! The consensus is that I should grow my hair out again. I suppose I could do that... it would be $15 saved from another haircut. :) Isn't that silky soft feeling the best after getting a haircut though??? I am torn. Help me. :)

trying not to be a letdown
Well, I don't want this to be too much of a downer as far as an entry goes, but sometimes I wonder if my parents will ever be happy with what I do. Yesterday my mom saw these newly scanned pictures of me that I was flipping through, and she goes, "Oh, you should send these to Tom!" "Have you spoken to him lately?" Yes, I know she loved him to death and wanted me to marry him, but seriously, GET OVER IT! Hopefully one day she'll realize that he and I just weren't meant to be. Doesn't make him a bad person, hell it doesn't even make me a bad person for breaking it off, but it just means we needed to move on with our lives. I just can't help but feel that I'm always being a letdown though.
Wow, it's been so incredibly hot here I can't even think straight. The last few days have been pure torture as far as babysitting goes because it's been too hot to take Lavanya out for a walk, although today I did. And she is apprehensive about me starting up her bath because she thinks I make the water "too cold". Her mom goes, oh she likes it at this temp, and I swear it was scalding hot! My glasses fogged up in 5 minutes after running the water. She has eczema and hot water is NOT good for sensitive skin! Hmm, oh well... it's not my place to say because it's not my daughter I'm raising. :)
Woohoo tonight Leina and I are seeing the Skirts in Sachole. We're gonna have dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory first, and then get to the venue where hopefully we won't run into Larry, that evil scary stalker dude. Man, what is with old men stalking younger hot looking chick bands? Hopefully this time they'll have some merchandise so I can buy a cd and/or shirt. ;)
Can I just say woohoo to it being mango season??? Mmmmm, omg. I tore into those mangoes like a guy giving... uhh forget I mentioned it. :) Mangoes are yummy things. Carbohydrate filled food is yummy. Hopefully my Goobers didn't melt... I'll probably tear into those later today. ;) Please let it cool down soon!!!

I feel loved
So yesterday was the last day at the preschool. I'm relieved, yet sad at the same time because I'm really gonna miss my kids. The 3 year olds were the first order of business. It was basically a free day for them, so it went by pretty fast. First they had play time, then they watched a Bob The Builder video. He fucking rocks. :) In between squirts of Windex, I peeked at the screen for a few minutes. That show is so funny sometimes. One of Bob's friends lost his nose, and so they were looking for tools that could "replace" his nose, LMFAO. Ahh, the things that amuse children, I swear. Or maybe I'm just easily amused. :)
And after that the kids had their promotion ceremony and performance. Before their parents came in, Jenai had them practice, and I SWEAR TO GOD they did just fine, belting it out, and when it came time to perform, they had serious stage fright. Jenai was so disappointed, she was like, "Oh man, that sucks that they didn't sing". It's ok though, because the parents could hear them singing through the door before it came time to do the real thing. And after that we had the party. Mmmmmmm, lots and lots of food. Most of that time was spent talking to the parents though. They all loved me and Jenai so much. It really makes me so happy that we could influence their children in such a positive way. One of the parents had tears in her eyes when she talked to me, and said, "Austin really adores you and always talks about you. He's gonna miss you so much." I had individual goals with each child, nothing too high so they couldn't reach them. But I did let the parents know that each child reached their goal. My eyes are welling up in tears because I am going to miss them so much.
Omg, these parents are generous givers. Jenai and I got SO MANY GIFTS, it was insane. I got candles, picture frames, a $20 steakhouse gift certificate, a $15 Barnes & Noble gift certificate, a $20 Old Navy gift card, body lotion, a wooden jewelry box, a little teacher book, a big cookie, some chocolates, and lots of well written thoughtful cards. Ohhh, the best gift I got was this little totebag with a picture of me and Mateo ironed onto it. It is SO CUTE. :)
Jenai and I cleaned and cleaned and although I can bitch about it, I really won't because the day was overall really awesome. One of the parents I talk to sometimes even wants to hang out with me one day! LOL I'm all, "Oh, if you and Joe ever need a night out, I can babysit Elyse." And her mom goes, "Actually, we should hang out and do something... Joe really doesn't mind, and he can take care of Elyse." That was a nice surprise, was totally not expecting that! And another parent wants me to babysit her kid at the end of July for a homeschooling conference she and her husband are attending. Her kids really like me, and they're a fun bunch, so I said FOH SHIZZLE! Ok, I didn't say that but I was totally thinking it! Hahaha
Now I'm just being a slacker. My room looks so damn sad. Jenai came up to my room and said, "Em, your room is so clean!" I'm all, shut the fuck up, I know. ;) Hell, all of my friends know I am not exactly a neat freak. Alright, time to go do something about this mess.....

too good to be true
I just got done babysitting Lavanya and I had to run home and update my LJ because I just couldn't believe what happened today. The two hours I babysat her were probably the fastest two hours ever. After doing her usual computer time, feeding, and bath, it was time to take her out for a walk.
Lately she's been apprehensive about the walk, but I know her mother needed time alone to do her housework so I kinda had to drag her out of the house while she complained to high hell and cried for a good portion of our walk. I did however entice her with a chasing game so that got us to the first park faster. We did our usual swing, sit & spin, slide, and merry go round routine. There were these people at this park who magically ended up at the 2nd park with us... I felt like we were being followed for some time. :P
So we ended up at Pioneer Elementary, which is the elementary school I went to as a kid. They have 2 playgrounds: the kindergarten one and the big kid one. We played in the kindergarten one first, bouncing on the seesaw for some time, then walking across the mini bridge and going down the slide.
Afterwards we went to the big kid playground where she went down the numerous slides and she desperately wanted to do the big kid monkey bars but she was too small for that and by that time we had to head on home, so we walked across the grass, which is something I don't usually do because we usually end up walking on the concrete near the basketball courts because she loves to watch "the boys". :P
So we're walking across the grass, and we see this german shepherd puppy chasing his owner and the dog is so cute. Lavanya and I both noticed the dog so she cried out, "Doggy!" and approached the dog. And I swear the impossible happened. The owner came up and omg... wow. I think I found the ONE really hot guy in Union City. The world is coming to an end. He was so cute... athletic with dark hair and deep blue eyes. He looked about my age, maybe slightly older. I was too stunned to check for a wedding ring, but we both smiled at each other kind of shyly while his dog interacted with Lavanya.
Then he had his dog lie down as we all rubbed his belly and he explained that that's how a dog knows who is boss. :) I wanted her to keep petting that dog so I could just look at him again, but alas we had to go. I stole one last glance at him when we left and that was it. I will probably never see this guy again or his cute dog. Such is life...

Your own home Home alarm system Can Save Your daily life morocan
Yourr home is where you and your cherished one live and therefore, it really is unsettling in the future home to see that it is often robbed. Selecting the most appropriate alarm system not only offers you a sense of safety but also functions as a protection against any thefts. To make sure that you protect your property you, installing the best method is important. Below are some facts to consider while you shop to get a home alarm system.
Monitored System
Albeit expensive, this home alarm system hooks your home's alarm straight away to the security center. In the event the alarm is tripped, it sends a signal on the answering services company. The middle will await couple of seconds before calling the master; this can be to ensure the owner would not accidentally set the alarm off. When the alarm continues, the very center will call the dog owner and ask for the safety password. In the event the person ceases to supply the password, the middle will contact law enforcement to check the place.
Monitoring can be achieved in another way. Some use their landline as way of communicating with the security center. Others select cellular monitoring simply because this does not need a landline connection (that is ideal as robber cut telephone lines in order to avoid any calls from venturing out) among others prefer communicating via broadband connection.
Unmonitored System tuscan An unmonitored strategy is more affordable and can be installed even from the owner themselves. A burglar should go off if someone enters the idea without disarming the alarm first. However some burglars may be thwarted, it is easy for them to escape together with your things because system is not installed using the security center.
Which System in case you Consider?
Prior to deciding to have a very home alarm system set up, it is important to consider several points. For starters, are you currently renting the spot or can you actually own the places you are now living in? Should you be renting, major renovations like placing cameras probably won't match your landlord. It is possible to alter your locks for brand spanking new ones however, you cannot install cameras as it can certainly cause privacy problems with other renters. In case you own the exact property, then think about your budget. Surveillance cameras are expensive; but a majority of security companies offer discounts or bundled packages. motion sensors Sophisticated systems nowadays also allow remote access and owners be capable of arm and disarm their system at the certain distance. Like lock and unlock doors and also view live videos by logging into sites on the web. I have listed many of the additional features when it comes to home security on the market today. For those who have doubts or are still considering the options, something you must remember is always to look at locks frequently your home locks also serve as protection to you personally and your loved ones.

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Village Buzz - July 9th
I have been on a brief vacation and, due to my own short-sightedness, was unable to publish new Blogs during that week. I have received several emails during that period offering further comments or chastising for things said by me or some of those who have commented. I'll set the essence of those thoughts forward in this piece.
* * * * * * * * * *
Trustee Dean Wolter has called into question several of the items in the first two Village Buzz Blogs:
He has indicated that he believes that the opinions I advanced as to my feeling that President Kempinski might be making himself a committee of one "is uncalled for, unsubstantiated by any facts, and made simply for the purpose and effect of comments to your Blog". I have, unfortunately, come to have those feelings as I alluded. It may well be that I'll change my feelings over the course of time, and I'll probably mention that if that happens.
I wondered if the signage in the front of Sendik's was of proper size. Trustee Wolter advised that my "Statements to the signage of Sendik's ..being oversized is not accurate. The Germantown Village Board has passed several changes to the sign section of the Municipal Code, allowing for taller and bigger signs to be placed at business entrances."
He has also criticized a comment that was offered by former President Charlie Hargan where he wrote that "The Village code state that the Planner has jurisdiction over the trees in Germantown, planting and removal. He found out about them being removed only after it was done."
Trustee Wolter wrote: "Charlie Hargan's comment following your notes again is left to stand unabated and is in-correct. I re-read the Germantown Municipal code, section 17.60 on Trees, and it does not state that the Village Planner has jurisdiction over the trees on public property. I would like to have past president Hargan state which section of the code he is getting his information. His statements are baseless, and incorrect."
* * * * * * * * * *
I appreciate the emails from Trustee Wolter and invited him to exercise his option to write comments if he wished to do so. I do express my opinions often and I recognize that some may be polarizing. Those who agree or disagree are free to post their comments. I am forbidden from editing any comment. I can remove a comment in full if I believe it is in poor taste, but those decisions are subject to review by the editors of the Community Now organization.
My opinions are obviously based on something or I wouldn't have them. As with most everybody, I interact with a wide range of people and read and hear a wide range of information. All this goes into the development of an opinion. I cannot point to a specific 'fact' that caused an opinion to crystallize. There may not be any 'facts' to which I could point, but I still have opinions. My opinions may be out in left field; if that is the case from your perspective, so be it. Help me change my opinion with more/better information or comment with your counter-opinion.
People in public office are in the public eye; that is simply the way it is. We each will have varying opinions concerning those folks. We'll probably agree with some actions and disagree with other actions. I've often found that an initial opinion altered over time. Similarly, I've also found that an initial opinion was proved to have been warranted.
* * * * * * * * * *
Finally, there may be some who might believe I'm anti-Sendik's. That couldn't be further from the truth. I am very excited about more competition in our community. I will be a regular shopper when the new store opens. I've not picked on our other grocery establishments lately but certainly could've since there is much to be desired. The opening of a tough competitor will be the best cure for poor selection and/or poor service elsewhere.

Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Squeeze (Initiator And Target)
This guide explains how you can set up an AoE target and an AoE initiator (client), both running Debian Squeeze. AoE stands for "ATA over Ethernet" and is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows AoE initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) AoE target using normal ethernet cabling. "Remote" in this case means "inside the same LAN" because AoE is not routable outside a LAN (this is a major difference compared to iSCSI). To the AoE initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive.

Not really, but it has survived here fine....even last year with 6 inches of
snow on it's head. The upper leaves shriveled up, but the vine was fine.
It has never died back. We've had no freezes this year, although a few close
calls....and it is still blooming! The blooms are about 10 inches to a foot
long. A friend of mine in Clear Lake (in between Houston and Galveston)
grows the A. gigantea....talk about gorgeous!! The blooms are 18 inches long
at least! Absolutely spectacular, although it doesn't seem to bloom as much
as my A. grande does. If you send me your mailing address, I'd be glad to
send you some seeds. I still owe a bunch of folks some seeds, so will be
sending those out soon too.

... relieved the pain with delicious iced coffees! After lunch we headed out on our coffee tour. It was to the Dos Jefes finca where they produced Luna coffee. Our guide was a fellow Canadian who had lived and worked on the farm for over 10 years. It was nice to walk around the farm and see how it is grown. It seems most of the coffee farms in Panama are small specialty farms that produce only really enough coffee to sell themselves, or else they sell the green beans ...

SoundRacer X
The NEW SoundRacer Model X car FM transmitter with 6 super sports car and motorcycle engine sounds for your car!
Would you like to own a Ferrari or another supercar? Don't have the money? Neither do we - but we do have the SoundRacer for you!Compared to a Ferrari, the SoundRacer is a bargain and it lets you enjoy the sound of a high-power engine for a fraction of the price.
How does the SoundRcer work? Just slot it into the cigarette lighter of your car and set it to a free radio frequency. The powerful engine sound will then be heard rumbling through the speakers of your FM car stereo system.
But you won't simply hear a steady engine sound - oh no! The SoundRacer transforms the revolution speed of your engine into a more powerful one. That means: When you accelerate or change gears, you hear the fitting sounds out of your radio's speakers!
More sounds can be downloaded to the MicroSD card. You can even make your own sound files!
The sound is played through the car speakers and follows the engine's RPM!
SD Card Slot with 1GB Micro SD Card and Adapter
FM Transmitter (88.1 - 107.9 MHz)
3.5mm AUX in/out Audio Cable
2A USB Socket
6 Pre-installed Super Car Sounds
Multi-Language User Manual (English, German, French, Arabic & Japanese)
AUX input: Car FM Transmitter.
SoundRacer X can also function as a Car FM transmitter and send music from your phone or music player to the car audio system.
AUX output: SoundRacer has an FM transmitter that sends the engine sounds to the car FM radio but if your car has an AUX input you can connect it directly with the included cable.
Charger: Charge your mobile phone or tablet.
The new SoundRacer X has a 2a USB socket with charging function so that you can charge your phone or tablet in your car.
Installed sounds: Just press a button on the new SoundRacer X to change engine sound. 6 exciting engine sounds are readily installed on the included MicroSD card.
- GSX Suzuki.
- Twin-V Harley.
- V12 Ferrari.
- V10 LFA Lexus V10.
- Lamborghini V8.
- Mustang Shelby.
NEW sounds: Install new sounds. The Windows program allows you to add more sounds! More sounds will be available from the SoundRacer webshop. Just download and store on the MicroSD card, then insert the card into your SoundRacer X and drive away with new fantastic engine sounds in your car!
Make sounds: Make your own sounds!
If you know how to record and edit sound files you can even make your own sounds. Open sound file format SoundRacer makes the file format public so that engine sound enthusiasts everywhere can make sound files from their own recordings and share with others.
How does it work?
The SoundRacer is a piece of affordable and ingenious technology that works on signals and electrical noise. Signal frequencies in the electrical cables running from the AC alternator follow the engine speed. The SoundRacer detects these signals and transforms them into a simulated RPM. The increase in the simulated RPM multiplied by a factor of 3 then produces a more exciting acceleration impression – all done without running the car's engine at a higher RPM. The SoundRacer then generates an incredibly realistic super-sports car sound that changes according to the rev point of the car i.e. idle, acceleration at lower/higher RPM and deceleration.
How easy is it to install?
Never before has it been so easy and affordable to make a car feel like a muscle car. Set up in a minute, easy as 1-2-3 and then you are ready to enjoy the fun and excitement of hearing the impressive engine sounds of a famous sports car.
How cool is that?!
...And the SoundRacer offers even more: if you have an older FM car radio system which does not have an external audio device function, you can use the SoundRacer to listen to music from your mp3 player, as it has a 3.5mm stereo line-in cable.
Makes a great Father's Day gift! SoundRacer is the perfect novelty gift for any car owner, easy to use and compatible with most cars on the market.

Unhealthy behavioral choices to smoke, overeat and lead sedentary lifestyles underlie the preponderance of chronic disease in the U.S. Greater understanding of the mechanisms underpinning vulnerability to such unhealthy decision making and developing more effective interventions to change behavior is vitally important to improving the U.S. public health. The overarching goal of the Administrative Core of the Vermont Center on Behavior and Health (VCBH) is to organize and grow existing strengths at the University of Vermont (UVM) while engaging in local and national collaborations in this important area of health research. This core will provide the administrative and intellectual infrastructure necessary to (a) strengthen and further collaboration among an interdisciplinary group of UVM faculty who share research and clinical expertise in this area, (b) mentor junior faculty in conducting thematically related research and preparing competitive research grant applications, (c) establish productive collaborations with community healthcare organizations and other universities located in IDeA states, (d) recruit new members into the center, and (e) secure the necessary financial support to sustain the VCBH tDeyond COBRE support. Stephen T. Higgins, PhD, will direct the core with assistance from Philip A. Ades, MD. UVM senior faculty will participate as primary and secondary mentors for junior faculty who will conduct COBRE-supported and thematically related research projects. We will collaborate with Vermont community healthcare leaders and investigators from Brown University and the University of Kentucky in pursuing the VCBH mission. Program oversight will be guided by an External Advisory Committee of distinguished scientific leaders in the area of behavior and health. An Internal Advisory Committee composed of accomplished senior UVM investigators will advise the VCBH on scientific and organizational matters. A Community Advisory Committee of experts in Vermont health care delivery and policy will help assure that the VCBH is responsive to community needs. This interdisciplinary team will work closely together to make the VCBH a nationally and internationally recognized center of research excellence.
Many inidividuals persist in personal behaviors (substance abuse, physical inactivity/obesity) that significantly increase risk for chronic disease and premature death. This relationship between personal behaviors and disease risk is firmly established, but much remains to be learned about why certain individuals are more likely to engage in risky behaviors and how to promote behavior change.

Hard on the hooves of that 310 million teated milk cow, the "hilariously ill-tempered" self-appointed dairy herd culler and corporate pork pusher Former Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson now seems determined to stomp on old land mines.
Simpson — who served in the United States Army in Germany from 1955–1956 and never dodged a shot fired in anger — is certainly willing to take away the medical benefits due those who did. He is especially fuming over Vietnam veterans and their Agent Orange ailments, deeming the costs of caring for these ailing warriors "contrary" to Republican efforts control federal spending.
I note that Senator Simpson is very selective about those veterans he wants to deny benefits. He doesn't mention the WWII and Korean War vets, nor does he mention the veterans of the campaigns to make Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Kuwait, the Persian Gulf, and the Balkans safe for Western-style corporatocracy. Yet Simpson insists that Vietnam's helots are being so selfish in asking for medical care as to drastically affect Republican efforts to reduce government spending. Despite being made to wait 40 years for official recognition of their medical conditions, Alan Simpson the Pharisee lamely protests "It's the kind of thing that's just driving us to this $1 trillion, $400 billion deficit this year," Simpson said. "It's not that I'm an uncaring person, but common sense is the most uncommon thing in Washington."
MALE. BOVINE. EXCREMENT! Can you hear me now, Alan? Or is your head still firmly implanted in your derrière?
Caring for the wounded and ailing veteran of our wars is not the cause of our huge deficit, MISTER Simpson. The military actions which made these veterans wounded and ailing did far more by themselves to create and enlarge the deficit than the relative pittance it takes to care for "him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan." Who are you going to get to fight for this nation if it is known in advance that anyone wounded is on his own after his ouster from active duty? If Simpson lives long enough, we can certainly expect that he would oppose any aid for those surviving veterans suffering from Gulf War Syndrome! Are we to wait until the government is too weak to care for our hurt soldiers' needs?
Maybe if US forces has triumphed in SE Asia (as their recent removal from SW Asia implies has happened in Iraq), then maybe Senator Simpson wouldn't be so stingy with YOUR MONEY needed to care for those who defend us. They are quite the bargain, you know! They work for much less than Blackwater does! A Xe operative makes more in ONE WEEK than an E-5 infantryman makes in a month! And you know that the funding for the military golf courses [PDF, page 3] operated around the globe for the exclusive benefit of the officer corps is not on the cut list. Rank does have its privilege, and the US Officer Corps is as rank as any!
Speaking of work, Alan Simpson has a boss. Terry O'Neill, President of the National Organization for Women, is wondering whether Simpson's employer, Barack Obama, has the "intestinal fortitude" to remove Simpson from the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform over his aggravated and ill-considered utterances. Allison Kilkenny negatively answers O'Neill's query with her observation that Obama appears to be bending over backwards to defend Alan Simpson in ways that Shirley Sherrod was never deemed worthy to merit. Kilkenny poses that "it's a perfect recipe for how to disenfranchise his base, and lose Congressional seats." November is coming, Barry! Your time is gonna come! Better start watching those old episodes of Steppin' Fetchit so that you know what John Boehner is referring to when he calls you.
In closing, David Dayen of Firedoglake proposed that "Simpson's problem is not with wasteful spending, it's with the entire system he spent a life perpetuating. Maybe if our health care system was in line with every other country on Earth, giving Agent Orange sufferers the care they need, regardless of the cause and effect, wouldn't be such a burden."
But don't hold your breath on that one, Dayen! That "perfect recipe" of Allison Kilkenny's is looking like it will disenfranchise the Democratic base in November, and make it even more likely that the return to Republican majority in the Congress will happen. That growing likelihood will facilitate Alan Simpson to successfully preside over the abandonment of our casualties along with our retirees. We'll discover this when we pore over the old magazines we peruse while we lick the last of the Whiskas off our spindly fingers.
With friends like Obama and his fiscal attack dog Alan Simpson, who needs enemies?Powered by Sidelines

The Suburban had a slow coolant leak and the shop said that is was my intake manifold gasket. $800.00 later I picked it up and drove home. The next day I was running an errand and after about 10 miles it sounded like it through a rod. Pulled out the dip stick and it was smoking a lot. walked to a store to buy more oil but it stall sounded so bad I had to call a tow truck. It appears all my oil was gone. What went wrong? Did the shop make an error when installing the gasket?

Opportunities for Life: It Begins With You
By supporting LC, you can make a difference in students' lives, knowing they will impact the lives of many.
Your participation matters at Lynchburg College. Here's why…
Every year, thousands of LC alumni, parents, friends, and students make gifts to the College. These generous contributions range in size, but every gift is transformative, helping our students to discover, connect, and achieve great things around the globe.
Alumni participation is crucial for LC to thrive…
- Alumni participation is one of the key measures that various surveys such as US News & World Report considers when ranking colleges and universities. Your gift can help LC continue to climb in the rankings and is an investment in the value of your own degree.
- When added together, small gifts do big things. Think a gift of $25 won't make a difference for LC? It definitely will. In the 2015 academic year, more than 4,900 donors supported LC, and over 3,300 of these donors supported the College's Annual Fund, which helped the College provide student scholarships, library and technology enhancements, career development programs, resources for athletics and much more.
- Your gift has the power to help LC raise even more. Many corporations and foundations use alumni participation as a determining factor in deciding whether or not to fund grant requests. Additionally, strong alumni participation attracts the support of larger donors who like to invest in success.
Each year, LC parents make gifts to the Parents Fund, which supports the College's Annual Fund by strengthening academic programs, learning resources, and other critical areas that provide a "value-added" experience for all LC students.
This year, the Parent's Fund has a goal of 920 parent donors before June 30, 2016. We hope you'll consider making a gift; your investment is the difference between a good experience, and a great one for LC students.
Your participation matters. Give today!
Quick Facts:
- The 2015-16 fiscal year runs from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016
- The College's Annual Fund has a goal to raise $725,000 from 3,600 donors by June 30, 2016
- All gifts and pledges completed before June 30 count toward the 2015-16 goal
There are many options for current or planned giving. If you would like more information, please contact us.
LC's Greatest Needs
Annual Fund
Every student benefits when you give to the Annual Fund. Your gift has an immediate impact on the LC experience, and helps students discover, connect, and achieve great things in the community and around the globe.
Strengthen LC's future. Your endowed gift allows the College to recruit and support the most talented students and faculty, and provides our students with an educational experience that prepares them to be effective leaders.
Claytor Nature Study Center
Help support the region's most comprehensive site for the study of the environment. Ambitious plans are in place to achieve the College's vision of the Center as a nationally recognized environmental science education & research facility.
Health Sciences
Professionals in the health industry are in high demand today. Be a part of LC's growing health science programs and help provide students with opportunities beyond the classroom in internships, clinical experiences, and community service.
Our scholar-athletes can't win championships without generous support from donors. Give today, and help the Hornets win on the field and in the classroom.
