I've released two add-ons (Oembed and Dashboard Page Managers) to the concrete5 marketplace that really revolutionize blogging with the CMS.
They're available as a package for only $25!
I've been working on these two pieces for awhile, and they've really come together exactly as I was planning. It's quite simple to create a very sophisticated management system for any type of page you want. Just a few clicks, and you can set up truly amazing content management systems
The demo here takes you from a blank installation to a full featured blog with far more features than anything else out on the market for concrete5 now. Why pay $40 for something inferior or $20 for something that's 'almost' what you need and complex to set up and use? You could get a system that can be infinitely customized exactly to your needs for only $25!
Watch the video now, or continue reading to find out more about this system!
The whole thinking behind these two packages is to move a little bit away from in-context editing for everything. It's truly one of the best things about concrete5, the editing interface is amazing.
But does it work for everything?
Often you want to manage something that doesn't really make sense to do from the front end. Think of things like recipes, employee directories, events, testimonials, or anything else. Often what developers do is create a composer page type for these, and then when you edit them, you are directed to the front end to continue editing. If you want to edit again, the simplest way is to do it like every other page, from the front. You can open them in composer again from the site map or the dashboard page search, but it's not intuitive or documented anywhere.
So what can you do?
With the Dashboard Page Managers add-on, you can change the flow for creating and managing these simple page types. You don't have to pay a developer thousands of dollars to make you an application that adds, edits, and lists these custom pages. That's what many popular add-ons in the marketplace are based on. It's the work that a lot of shops do for their clients because they don't have the skills to. Often it takes several days to a few weeks to make the custom interfaces to meet people's business needs. That is a LOT of development and a LOT of money.
You can avoid all of that!
Now, you can just set up a page for composer, then go to your site map, add a couple of pages to the dashboard, and you are DONE. Seriously, there's nothing more to do. You end up with something that looks like this:
For blogging, I think it's nearly perfect. But the beauty of it is that it's designed to allow you to manage any type of page that you can edit in composer. You don't need to know any code to create the management interface. Depending on your needs, you might need to do some work on the front end to display those pages the way you want, but that basically takes it into the realm of designers.
I think that's going to be a huge thing for a lot of shops. And for a lot of individuals and small businesses who are making their own sites without assistance. It extends what you can do, while at the same time simplifying things. Which is what I think is the main goal in creating any system.
Another thing that I find a bit bittersweet about concrete5 is that almost everything on the front end is controlled with blocks. That's not in and of itself a bad thing, but it's not ideal, either. But it is limiting.
If you want to add a bit of content from flickr, you need to find one of seven different packages that might do what you want. Youtube? There are dozens. Medial players that do one system, ones that do dozens. The same with audio.
Even if you find a block that's exactly right for your needs, you're probably going to have to adjust it to work with your system. And it won't fit in well with a composer type of work flow. Several of these blocks in the marketplace are not easily integrated into composer for one. For another, you can't really set composer up to handle every content situation.
What if you want something like "content block" "youtube video" "another content block" "vimeo block" ?
You could maybe set up a composer page with four blocks, but then when you decide that vimeo and youtube need to be switched on another page, you're kind of screwed.
Is there a better way to do things?
When I was working on Grease Rag, I found out that there was a system called Oembed that replaced URLs in Wordpress sites. I kind of learned that when I started doing the import. Suddenly there were all these pages with just a blank URL in them, and I had no idea what was going on. Eventually I figured it out, and had the basics of a system that allowed you to do the same thing with content blocks.
It was another year at least before I had time to sit down and really, really get it ready to release to the marketplace. I didn't want to just have a custom template for stuff. I wanted it to be a very robust system, not just a little hack. Fully responsive, extensible for other developers, integrated light box, ability to extend it... All of that kind of 'candy' on top of the basic functionality.
It seems like it's turned out quite well. When paired with the Dashboard Page Managers, you can start making pages that don't require front end editing at all. The whole process of adding a lot of blocks can be tedious, especially if you are first editing it in composer, then have to work from the front end once it has multiple blocks. So many more things are possible with it.
With either or both of these packages, you can do some pretty amazing things that were always quite difficult in concrete5 before. They will save a ton of time and money for a lot of developers. So many sites can benefit from what I've built here.
I hope that people enjoy them.

I am Beautiful, So What!!!
"We are all created beautiful, and I dont know why some people will be affected when I feel beautiful about myself!!! The truth is I AM REALLY BEAUTIFUL because I am happy and confident and I have so much LOVE around me. People who can't see it that way, it's because they are UGLY. They are so afraid to see people HAPPY and CONFIDENT, because they don't have it in their heart!! Bitterness makes people UGLY!"

LTE Standard Ready For Spring 2009 Vote
|18 декабря 2008
In a move critical to the rapid deployment of Long Term Evolution (LTE), the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) quietly has frozen the specifications for LTE, with final formal ratification expected in March 2009.
The schedule is good enough for the first LTE service in the United States now expected to go live – perhaps even commercially – in 4Q09. Verizon, no doubt well-aware of the impending 3GPP action, last week dropped clear indications that it will be the carrier with that landmark service. (TelecomWeb news break also notes that the timing presents another clear challenge to the claims of "mobile WiMAX" proponents that their technology has a two-year lead over LTE.)
The action on LTE was disclosed in an almost painfully brief note on the 3GPP Web site: "3GPP has approved the functional freeze of LTE as part of Release 8… There is significant commitment from operators to deploy this technology, and this landmark achievement will allow them to realize their early deployment plans."
It continued, "LTE is aimed at providing the true global mobile broadband experience for users but also places high priority on improving spectral efficiency and reducing cost. As equipment development continues to accelerate, 3GPP will now focus on fine-tuning the standard to ensure optimal performance."
The decision to freeze LTE was made at a 3GPP meeting last week in Athens. It means hardware vendors now can begin helping to ensure the devices they've been developing conform to a standard that won't change significantly, with expectations that any changes will be handled as minor software tweaks. Its not clear whether that's yet the case with handsets, in part because those at the meeting didn't put their final stamp of approval on System Architecture Evolution (SAE), the core network architecture of LTE. Still, South Korea's LG did last week unveil the prototype of it bragged was the world's first LTE handset chip.
While there's apparently still a bit of work to be done on SAE, expectations are that it, too, will be ready for final ratification in March. Thus, SAE was included in an agreed list of what's going to be in Release 8.
Other than LTE/SAE, one notable specification that's part of Release 8 will be a standard for LTE femtocells. Also included was a tentative list of what will be in Release 9, set for final freeze about a year from now.
Verizon's surprise indication that it will launch LTE before the end of next year – no doubt to the total consternation of Clearwire, which is watching whatever market lead it thought it had for mobile WiMAX evaporate as quickly as it share prices have fallen – came from Verizon CTO Dick Lynch, speaking at a Cisco conference in San Jose.
So far, none of the long list of other carriers around the world that have committed to LTE has hinted in public at quite such aggressive plans, but several aren't far behind Verizon. Japan's KDDI recently chose a supplier for a rollout fewer than 24 months from now, and rival Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo's tapped a joint team of Nokia Siemens Networks and Fujitsu to develop the gateway technology it needs for its LTE network, which it wants to have in service sometime in early 2010.

Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Review to Caribbean - Bahamas
Sail Date: April 05, 2015
Ship: Norwegian Breakaway
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 9302
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Review SummaryThe staterooms were nice and larger then the other staterooms I have stayed in however the common areas and children's pool were very compact. I found sinage and communication was very confusing. for example for example there is no main lounge and the area they hold their parties in the spice h2o has a sign at the main entrance stating adults only 18 and over for this reason we missed all the parties assuming the children were not allowed in. The splash academy Kids Club was also not large enough to accommodate all of the children so the children had to be walked down 5 flights of steps 3 times a day to A Lounge located in the Casino causing the children to be exposed to cigarette smoke. because the policy was to sign your kids out for meals basically I felt llke my entire vacation running back and forth to the Kids Club. they were only allowed to stay 3 hours and then had to be picked up for 2 hours. The so if yo got the at 5 when they closed by the time you got them back you were late for the 7:00 show in the theater. If we tried to make the 9:30 show we would be late to get the kids at 10:15 so we missed most of the shows in the he theater as well. The do d in the diningroom was excellent however the buffet was quite boring and often cold. The crew were quite nice and very attentive. Over all I'm not sure I would book on the breakaway again. I do however like NCL and might consider the jewel or the Gem again.

I have Intermittent sharp pain on left side of my head. The pain is left side, near back of head. It started 6 days ago, I have tried several over counter meds. Excedrin Migraine, to BC Powders. Nothing has worked.
I have made appointment with my Doctor, next week. What do you think this pain could be. I have never suffered with Migraine Head aches before. Thank You, Joann.
Full Answer:
Dear Joann;
The pain you describe could be any number of things. You don't mention how long the pain lasts. If it lasts just seconds, it could be ice pick headaches, but only your own doctor will be able to confirm a diagnosis. You can find some information on ice pick headaches in Ice Pick Headaches - The Basics.
Are you having any other symptoms? If not, these are unlikely to be Migraines because Migraines have other symptoms in addition to head pain. See Anatomy of a Migraine for more information about the phases of a Migraine attack and their possible symptoms.
Especially since the over-the-counter medications haven't helped, it would be best to not take anything until you see your doctor. Taking any kind of pain medication, over-the-counter or prescription, more than two or three days a week can make matters worse by causing medication overuse headache (MOH), aka rebound. See _Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires _ for more information on this.
Good luck,
John Claude Krusz and Teri Robert

text: pubOne.info present you this wonderfully illustrated edition. Paris in 1792 is no longer what it was in 1789. In 1789, the old French society was still brilliant. The past endured beside the present. Neither names nor escutcheons, neither liveries nor places at court, had been suppressed. The aristocracy and the Revolution lived face to face. In 1792, the scene has changed. The Paris of the nobility is no longer in Paris, but at Coblentz. The Faubourg Saint-Germain is like a desert. Since June, 1790, armorial bearings have been taken down. The blazons of ancient houses have been broken and thrown into the gutters. No more display, no more liveries, no more carriages with coats-of-arms on their panels. Titles and manorial names are done away with. The Duke de Brissac is called M. Cosse; the Duke de Caraman, M. Riquet; the Duke d'Aiguillon, M. Vignerot. The Almanach royal of 1792 mentions not a single court appointment.

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 16:09:08 EDTAUGUSTA-Maine Senate President Libby Mitchell and House Speaker Hannah Pingree today thanked the Governor for responding to a funding shortfall through his use of a curtailment order. The gap was created when the federal government did not approve as robust of an enhancement of Medicaid funding for states as had been anticipated when the state budget was approved in April.

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:05:36 EDTSenate President Elizabeth Mitchell released the following statement on the Public Advocate's July 24, 2009 filing with the Public Utilities Commission which asked that Fairpoint be directed to engage an independent entity with expert knowledge of digital telephone networks and integrated computer systems.
Wed, 27 May 2009 15:02:55 EDTWith a strong bipartisan vote, the Maine Senate approved the $5.8 billion spending plan for state government for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The bill also included appropriations for the remainder of 2009. The 33-2 vote in the Senate represents the highest number of affirmative votes recorded on a roll call vote for a biennial budget in more than 20 years. The budget includes a $500 million reduction from the budget for the tow previous fiscal years. The national economic recession caused state revenues to decline by $1.4 billion in just six months. The budget for the next two years reduces state spending to 2006/2007 levels, it is the first budget in 30 years to be smaller than the previous fiscal years."The members of both the House and Senate should be commended for the extraordinary bipartisan manner in which they worked to pass this very difficult budget," Senate President Elizabeth Mitchell said. "In spite of the hard work of so many we take little pleasure in its passage. The reality of the economic downturn is that government will be less able to positively impact the lives of Maine people. This budget represents what we have to do, certainly not what we want to do."Much of the Senate debate focused on the impact the cuts would have on the people of Maine and how well the process of writing the budget worked. "We have been forced to make cuts to every area of state government," said Senate Majority Leader Phil Bartlett. "We have remained true to the principles of shared pain, shared sacrifice, and shared opportunity. While no one likes it, we can be proud of the product we produced by working together in a bipartisan way to get through this very difficult time."Roughly 50% of the budget is spending for K-12 and higher education. The state will provide more than $1 billion to school districts in 2010 and $947 million in 2011. It also includes $535 million in spending for Maine's colleges and universities over the biennium.The Legislature included $26 million in debt service to be used for multi year bonding of research and development, transportation, and conservation. The details of the bond package will be developed in the coming weeks.The Department of Health and Human Services will receive $1.6 billion in funding over the next two years. In addition, the state will reform its system of paying hospitals and providers of health services. The MaineCare reimbursement rate to Critical Access Hospitals will be reduced from 117% to 109% of cost and the MaineCare reimbursement to private physicians will be increased from 53% to 70% of Medicare.Other health related items include a $96.7 million payment to Maine hospitals for past services to MaineCare recipients, a policy shift that will reduce the cost of prescription drugs by purchasing medication through preferred providers, tuition stipends for Maine medical school students, and the implementation of a wellness program for state employees. There is approximately $270 million in the budget for property tax relief through municipal revenue sharing, the Homestead, BETR, Tree Growth and Circuit Breaker programs. The following changes to these programs results in a collective reduction of $24.3 million. A 5% reduction to the Tree Growth Program, a reduction to Revenue Sharing, a 20% across the board cut to the Circuit Breaker, and a reduction of the Homestead Exemption to $10,000 in FY 2011, leaving it as-is in FY 2010.The state employee piece of the budget includes 10 shutdown days in each year of the biennium, the elimination of merit increases and longevity payments and the addition of employee contributions towards health care premiums. Other provisions of the budget include: - Makes use of $116 million from the state's Rainy Day Fund and the Working Capital Reserve Fund - $55 million in funding for the Legislative Branch[...]
Wed, 27 May 2009 14:59:44 EDTAUGUSTA- After months of public hearings, work sessions and revenue reforecasting, the Legislature's Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs unanimously approved a supplemental budget for the remainder of 2009 and the biennial budget for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The $5.8 billion spending bill meets the state's Constitutional requirement to balance the budget and does so without raising broad based taxes. It will now go to the full Senate and House for consideration."I applaud the efforts of the Appropriations Committee. They worked together in an open manner to craft this budget under very difficult financial circumstances. By involving the public to such a great extent it is clear to me that the committee looked beyond sheer dollars to gauge the impact that hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts will have on the people of Maine," said Senate President Elizabeth Mitchell. The economic crisis has resulted in a decline of $1.4 billion in revenues since November, 2008, forcing the Legislature to reduce the budget for the coming fiscal years to 2004/2005 levels. While the cuts are broad and deep, the spending bill maintains services at a level that ensures a safety net is in place and makes smart investments that will create jobs now and continue to pay dividends in years to come. "The steep and sudden decline in revenues put us in a very difficult situation," said Speaker of the House Hannah Pingree. "This budget is austere and reflects the difficult times we face. I want to thank the members of the Appropriations Committee for keeping focused throughout this long process and for bringing it to a conclusion without acrimony - it was not an easy task."Governor Baldacci released his initial budget in January which aimed to close an $838 million structural gap. As the recession worsened and state revenues continued to decline, the Governor proposed a change package to close an additional gap of $569 million. Major provisions of the budget include:$1 billion in 2010 (up from $983 million in 2009) and $947 million in 2011 for K-12 education. This maintains funding levels in 2010 and gives school districts time to plan for reduced state aid in 2011$26.5 million for debt service that allows for investments in transportation, conservation, research and development and more through a multi year bond package$1.6 billion for the Department of Health and Human ServicesReduces Medicaid spending for high-cost specialty drugs by purchasing them through preferred providers, reducing the cost of prescription drugs while continuing to give patients access to life saving medicines$96.7 million in state funds and $276.3 million in federal funds (total $373 million) payment to Maine hospitals to settle disputed payments Changes the MaineCare reimbursement rate to Critical Access Hospitals from 117% to 109% of costIncreases MaineCare reimbursement rates to private physicians from 53% of Medicare to 70% of MedicareApproximately $270 million for property tax relief through municipal revenue sharing, the Homestead, BETR, Tree Growth and Circuit Breaker programsThe following changes to the above mentioned property tax relief programs result in a savings to the state of $24.3 million: a 5% reduction to the Tree Growth Program, a reduction to Revenue Sharing, a 20% across the board cut to the Circuit Breaker, and a reduction of the Homestead Exemption to $10,000 in FY 2011, leaving it as-is in FY 2010A two year savings of $16 million through suspension of the Net Operating Loss Carry Forward10 state government shutdown days in both 2010 and 2011 and a provision that requires state employees to pay a portion of their health insurance commensurate with their salary.

Fri, 01 May 2009 15:19:22 EDTAUGUSTA- In response to a $569 million downward revision in state revenue, Governor John Baldacci today outlined the details of his change package designed to balance the budgets for fiscal years 2010 and 2011, as well as close a $129 million shortfall for the remainder of fiscal year 2009.
Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:42:44 EDTDear Sen. Simpson and Rep. Hill:As Senators of the Kennebec County Delegation, we are requesting that OPEGA conduct a program evaluation of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and the emergency dispatch services.In the 122nd session, the Utilities Committee required the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to consolidate PSAP activities into 26 regional centers. The result has been successful in some parts of the state, but not as successful in others. Kennebec County is a prime example of problems with implementation. Last year, there was a bill to remove Waterville from the Kennebec County PSAP because the cost of the consolidated services was higher than Waterville's cost for running their own PSAP. While the bill ultimately failed, it did reveal several inconsistencies in cost and structure across the state. At the end of last session, L.D. 2279 required the PUC to investigate and set the rates of the Kennebec County PSAP. The PUC accomplished this over the summer. However, there still remain many questions by the communities that are part of the Central Maine Communications Center (CMCC), the PSAP for Kennebec County, about cost, effectiveness and efficiency. This past weekend, the Kennebec Journal reported that E-911 calls to the CMCC were apparently not sent to a dispatch center. The first call was for an inebriated person on the side of the road. They did not respond. One hour later, a second call came in; the person had been hit and killed. In addition, the Kennebec County Sheriff indicated there were other complaints about the poor quality of service from the CMMC PSAP in relation to dispatch and other services.This past summer, there were several other issues in Cumberland and Penobscot County further demonstrating the seriousness and urgency of this issue, which is endangering public safety statewide. These lapses in public safety are simply unacceptable and demand an immediate evaluation.There are 26 PSAPs in Maine set up by the Emergency Service Communications Bureau which is an agency within the Public Utilities Commission. The County or a municipal government operates twenty-two of them and the Department of Public Safety operates four. We are seeking an in-depth program evaluation of the consolidated PSAP systems and dispatch services. The issues that should be addressed include: Cost structures for PSAP and dispatch Coverage for rural communities, especially in Kennebec County Connection between dispatch services and PSAPs Efficiency and effectiveness of multiple, unconnected dispatch centers to the consolidated PSAPs Original projected cost savings compared to actual savings Dropped calls and missed dispatch connections, resulting in potential serious public safety issues An assessment of the impact of consolidation on Kennebec County, and other counties where towns elected not to participate in the regional PSAPThe legislature has attempted to deal with this conflict in expectations, costs and reality with legislation, studies, committee hearings, and a rate investigation by the PUC. Because of the intergovernmental nature of this service involving state government, county government and local government, OPEGA is ideally suited to investigate this intergovernmental service. As an independent agency charged by the legislature with evaluation of cost and effectiveness of government services, OPEGA is probably the only program within state government that can resolve the multiple issues that cross committee jurisdictions of public safety, utilities and state and local government. The bottom line is people's lives are at stake. We cannot wait for additional errors to occur before taking action. Thank you for your co[...]

Meet Jessica Camerata of My Style Vita
"Offensive dress."
It is hard to ever envision Jessica's of My Style Vita outfits ever being considered "offensive."
Original? Outstanding? Organized with thought? Yes. But not offensive.
Most workplaces wouldn't bat an eye at conservative silhouettes cast in trendy colors, prints and textures: a sunny yellow pencil skirt, a polka dot buttoned-up-to-there blouse, straight-legged trousers in a berry mauve. But apparently those flourishes proved too much to the corporate higher ups at Jessica's workplace. So, after receiving one too many slaps on the wrist for her "offensive dress," Jessica quit her stuffy job and promptly launched My Style Vita.
Without a watchful and criticizing eye leering over her wardrobe, Jessica flexed her styling muscles and, much to the delight of her readers, has churned out fresh and fun outfits ever since. Colorful strappy heels, burnout peplum tops and floral prints of the watercolor, Liberty and abstract variety abound in Jessica's wardrobe rotation.
As Jessica's blog and she herself grew, My Style Vita's content expanded too. Jessica regularly whips up recipes that are simple to prepare but impressive to present to dining guests. Round ups of Jessica's favorite perfumes, creams and lipsticks fill up My Style Vita's beauty column. And, most recently, Jessica documented a real labor of love: the remodeling and redecorating of her condominium in Atlanta, Georgia. Although her construction has wrapped, Jessica continues to post her latest home goods finds in her "Friday Furnishings" series.
We caught up with Jessica and picked her brain about the importance of staying true to yourself, smart ways to decorate your space, and how to make an impression with a single tube of lipstick.
When did you start your blog—and why?
I started my blog to actually build a writing portfolio. I was looking to get out of my corporate job and into journalism and was advised to just start writing! So I did. I started my blog and decided on the name (which I actually can't stand, but it's a little late for changes now) to encompass all things stylish. Vita means life in Italian (I'm Italian) and My Style Vita was intended to refer to My Style Life.
Who are your style icons?
I think I'm one of the few women who doesn't have a major style icon. Sure, I love Jessica Alba's laid back casual or Taylor Swift's super preppy yet badass looks (that I could NEVER pull off. I mean, those legs!). And I always love the great Rachel Zoe for her boho styles with a modern take.
What are your top styling and grooming tops?
Always have a third piece to complete your look. Learn how to properly roll up your sleeves. Learn to embrace lipstick and find a shade that works for you no matter the occasion. Have a signature scent. Mine's Dolce & Gabanna Dolce.
What advice can you share with other aspiring bloggers?
Find a niche and a voice and you'll feel confident. Plus stay consistent. Whether it's always posting three times a week or sticking to an editorial calendar, this way you'll gain avid followers who want to keep coming back.
What is your favorite dish to cook?
My mom's baked French toast. It's my go-to for brunches with friends.
Your house is so beautifully decorated. How long have you been working on it?
I'm ALWAYS working on my house. Kind of like my closet full of clothes, always things I want to add, throw away and change. But for the most part it took roughly three months to get the transformation. It used to have beige/yellow walls and lots of green accents. The overhaul was so fun and I'm actually thinking of doing it again soon. The great thing about keeping my major furniture pieces neutral, is that I can easily change that turquoise wall to whatever color I want and make a few small accessory changes and I've got a whole new look.
What are your top three tips for home décor?
1. Invest in great neutral furniture.
2. Add pieces that you personally love even if they don't technically match; because that's what makes your house a home.
3. And lastly, always have fresh flowers. They add such an element of life and freshness to a home.
Aside from your phone, keys and wallet, what is always in your handbag?
Chapstick. I think there's a Chapstick in every possible place I know I'll be in a day: my car, my nightstand, desk, purse, everywhere.
Fast & Furious Fashion Quiz
Bikini or one-piece?
Bikini for the versatility of mixing and matching.
Neutral or red lip?
Red lip for sure, hot pink is even better
Hose or bare legs in winter?
Always bare
Body-con or boyfriend?
Boyfriend. Comfort is important.
Skinnies or flares?
Flares all the way, even though I don't own enough.
Night out or in?
You're talking to the Netflix queen over here, always in. Nothing good happens after midnight in my book.
Sweet or savory indulgence food?
Why did you choose this Vince Camuto Lorin Drawstring Bag?
I've been on the hunt for a bucket bag for a few weeks now. It was my mission to grab one for spring as my new go-to neutral bag. I tend to gravitate towards large, bulky bags that I can barely fill up. So when I stumbled onto this bucket bag at my local Nordstrom, I knew it was meant for me. The size was perfect (holds everything I need) and it goes with everything in my closet with the neutral palette. I love that it's not all one color either. The black and ivory help to tie it into more looks and will easily work as a year-round bag.

News of note from the Rockies' clubhouse and pregame dugout chat with manager Jim Tracy:
* Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin will make one more start for Triple-A Colorado Springs (Thursday against Albuquerque) before he rejoins the Rockies' four-man rotation. He threw an excellent bullpen today.
"My arm feels really good," Chacin said. "I didn't feel sore or tired at all after my bullpen. I think my fastball has it's movement back."
Chacin worked 6 2/3 innings Saturday, allowing three runs and striking out five in a loss to Round Rock. The right-hander's fastball sat at 91 mph and his late movement on his fastball induced 12 groundball outs. Chacin has been out since the first of May with a nerve irritation in his right pectoral muscle.

text: Hi all,took my 45-175mm panasonic out for a spin this morning to shoot a local kids football match. I had to shoot in manual mode as trying to shoot at f5.6 at the long end resulted in the shutter speed being too high. Now to get say f5.6 and shutter say at 1/1000 I had to bump the Iso which didn't bother me but I was sat at one of the corner flags with the little sunshine we had over my shoulder. Now taking shots upto the halfway line was fine but when you got past and into the other half of the pitch I found the shots were getting darker and darker. ? Now to compensate this I had to bump the iso up a little further to lighten the picture. But when the ball came back into my half I had to lower the iso because the shots were too bright then. ? Is this normal for this lens or could it have something to do with the light playing tricks. Help me out. Cheers Kev

hey kiddos, 'tis tuesday. wanna know what i learned this morning? i learned that geckos (and pretty much all quick-moving lizards) scare the hell out of me and i will screech like a little girl when one of them runs out in front of me. i couldn't really tell you what freaks me out about them other than the fact that they move very quickly and are squiggly; but i was thisclose to jumping onto a chair.
however, being the self-sufficient woman that i am, despite my "ACK!!'s" and "ew!!'s", i removed him (or her) from the store unharmed. i even checked on it later to make sure it was still okay. i am proud of myself for that because one thing i dislike more than little fast bitey lizards chasing me around, is killing something. i even feel guilty if i accidentally squish a spider (though they kind of scare me too and LOVE to bite me specifically).
all of this is to say, i like that i can take care of myself, even in such simple terms as gecko removal. i like that i can confront my fears...sometimes. i still haven't figured out how to sing in front of people without having my throat close up from anxiety, but i will.
i do have a problem with allowing people to help me. call it stubbournness or what have you. it seems in the past, often when i woud ask for help with something, it would end up being an issue, or inconvenient or worse, something to be held over my head for years on end. yadda yadda. not every time and not by every person i asked for help from, but pretty significant and even minor incidences throughout the years have made me terribly gun-shy in letting people help me. alas, i have conditioned myself to say 90% of the time that i don't need help with anything. i even felt bad asking someone to walk my dog for me when i was super sick last month and couldn't get out of bed or feed myself for four days.
i have practiced over the years, that 10% where i do ask for assistance when i need it. i had wonderful results with it when i was moving apartments a few weeks ago. awesome people took the time to say, "why yes, lulu. i would love to help". but it was still hard to get me to agree to it in the first place even though i KNEW i totally needed the aid. crazypants, man!
to me, it's frightening to ask for a favour from anyone. right before i ask, i get that feeling in my stomach like there's an animal burrowing in it; the way i felt before i jumped out of the airplane a few years ago.
i'm not sure exactly what the issue is; fear, rejection, vulnerability, they're all factors. and quite frankly i can handle a lot. i also realize that the worst thing someone could say is "no", in theory anyway. so what's the biggie, man? really.
who would have thought being terrified of a gecko smaller than my pinky finger would throw me into such a funny tangent about one of my quirky and annoying personality traits? well, you check in with me often, so i'm sure you're used to it by now.
well, this is me today. i'm quite amused by my rant. i hope your day is beautiful and a lot less complex than this stream of consciousness was.
adieu for now,
Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Don't give up on asking for help . It does make us vulnerable and puts us on the line , but just because people say no sometimes doesn't mean they don't love us , it may be not a good time , or maybe they are just not feeling great , but don't give up on people because they do disapoint , its sometimes just human nature. Last year I learned to ask for help and more importantly to accept help from people when it was offered . Very humbling. Very on the line .xxoo

text: On February 3rd I was sitting outside with Paisley watching my boys play. They got skate boards for Christmas and our friends and neighbors boy has a skateboard as well, so they were riding bikes and skateboards etc.. I thought to my self Brittany get out there and play with your kids. I rarely do crazy things like this, I leave this to my husband! Well I did I put my shoes on and jacket and asked Tate to show me how to ride a skateboard. I was doing better than I thought I would and wanted to add a little speed, it was a really bad idea cause the next thing I knew the skateboard slipped out in front of me and my right foot was closest to the pavement bent all the way backward to my heel. I hit the ground and felt the most excruciating pain!! I sat on the pavement trying to quickly deal with the pain hoping by some miracle it would pass quickly and I would just have a bad bruise but after about 10 seconds of that I knew it was something worse when my foot started to swell. I called Tex and told him I had done something to my foot, he told me to get inside, elevate it and take some Ibuprofen. My friends husband picked me up and took me inside. I very courageously :) held it together while the neighbors waited with me for Tex to get home but as soon as I heard his voice I felt comfortable to let my courage wash away and I let the tears come and they came hard. We had a friend Connie Mckee from the ward come and watch the kids while we went to the hospital for x-rays. Tex looked at the x-rays and didn't see anything so we left relieved nothing was broken, he stopped at publix got me a salad and some Carmel cone ice cream and we headed home.

Ugandan academic charged over Museveni 'buttocks' jibe
A prominent female academic and activist was charged on Monday with cyber-harassment for calling President Yoweri Museveni a "pair of buttocks" in a Facebook post.
University lecturer Stella Nyanzi, 42, has raised eyebrows in the conservative country for sexually explicit social media posts in which she has frequently criticised the president and his wife.
She has lashed out at Janet Museveni, who is also education minister, after the government reneged on a campaign to supply free sanitary pads to poor schoolgirls and has launched vitriolic attacks against the first couple.
Nyanzi appeared in a court in Kampala on Monday, where she was charged with making a remark that was "obscene or indecent."
The charge sheet referred to a Facebook post on January 28 "where she made a suggestion or proposal referring (to) His Excellency, Yoweri Museveni as among others, 'a pair of buttocks'."
The Facebook post reads: "That is what buttocks do. They shake, jiggle, shit and fart. Museveni is just another pair of buttocks... Ugandans should be shocked that we allowed these buttocks to continue leading our country."
There was no reference to any charge for insults to the first lady.
"Dr Stella Nyanzi has been charged with cyber-harassment and offensive communication (and) using her Facebook posts to disturb President Museveni's privacy, which she denies," her lawyer Nicholas Opiyo told AFP.
"Dr. Nyanzi is within her constitutional rights and we are for an all-out legal battle with the state to defend her rights."
She remains in custody pending a bail hearing.
Nyanzi, whose work specialises in the study of sexuality in Africa, shot to prominence in April 2016 when she stripped naked at her university to protest the closure of her office. She later shared the nude photos of herself on social media.
Nyanzi is often accused by commentators on her page of missing a chance to make an impact on serious issues through her regular use of graphic sexual imagery and descriptions.
- Reporter beaten for defending Nyanzi -
Maria Burnett, senior Africa Researcher at Human Rights Watch, on Saturday said Nyanzi's arrest was "yet another clear indicator that those who express critical views of the government can face its wrath."
Meanwhile Reporters Without Borders, known by its French acronym RSF, said Monday that a prominent television reporter had been kidnapped and beaten up over the weekend for her coverage of the dispute between Nyanzi and Janet Museveni.
Gertrude Uwitware was walking along one of Kampala's safest avenues when a man and a woman forced her into a car at gunpoint and gagged her before she was driven to an isolated spot where they shaved her head and beat her.
"Referring to a blog post in which she defended Nyanzi, who accused the First Lady of not keeping an election promise to provide free sanitary pads in schools, they ordered her to stop harassing the president's family and made her delete all of her Twitter and Facebook posts deemed too critical," read the statement."
"They finally dumped her at an isolated location where police found her at around midnight."

My apartment building's sewage pipe blew up, so I haven't had water in my place since Monday. So I've been showering at the gym, sleeping in a hotel and at my girlfriends place. I couldn't do my dishes or laundry, I would have to walk to different buildings to use the restroom. It was awful. But now that I have water I am making up for the lack of it, which would be greatly frowned upon by my city. But Portland can suck it!
But now that my life is back to normal, more or less anyways, it's time to get back on my exercise routine. I just bought some protein supplement so I can get big, and hopefully burn off the fat that has been on my body since I was 9 or so.I managed to lose like 50 pounds when I was a sophomore in high school, I've put that weight back on, but it's been in bone and muscle mass, but I still have a gut, and love handles and such; now I'm set on getting rid of it. With it being winter break, I have to focus on my health. In a time when people indulge and eat more then they need and do very little exercise, I need to do the opposite. My health depends on it, and my self-esteem as well, at a probably greater level than my health even.
I hope things go well this break, I hope my girlfriend and I spend time, and due to my exercise I get happier, which will affect us, which is good. I'll probably keep you posted on how things are going.

The Kids Are Alright
I mean, look where the generation above us (and I mean no disrespect to my parents, who were and are frugal, honest and hard working people) has got us. A world of alienation, violence and uncertainty for the many, a stinking cess pool of discarded detritus and extinguished species, a world where 'celebrities' make stands against world poverty and callow youths are paid up to £120,000 a week to kick a ball around and drive enormous 4x4s while wearing watches worth tens of thousands of pounds. On the subject of Armageddon, I stood in the queue at Waitrose the other day and watched as those around me fed the scanners with their President butter and Duchy Originals, and I wondered what will happen when it all dries up. When the great teat of the 24/7 artics stops pumping its manna milk into the maws of the retail cathedrals. Not wishing to set myself apart, I realised that most of the people in the store wouldn't stand a chance if it came down to a physical contest for the scant resources available. Their jobs in internet publishing or media management wouldn't stand them in good stead when faced with a gang of crack-starved street rats in a fight over a mildewed potato or a siphoned litre of unleaded.
But I digress. My point, I suppose, is that this future lark isn't all it was cracked up to be. These kids who were 'alright' have dumped us right in it and no mistake.

Dude - there's always SOMETHING. I'm not trying to trivialize current challenges but it wasn't that long ago when we faced the very real threat of nuclear annihilation. In fact it seems that on occasion we were even closer than we worried at the time.
Before that, just when we found a solution to one incurable, mostly fatal, sexually transmitted disease (syphilis) we stumbled upon another.
It wasn't THAT long ago, in the grand scheme of things, when it seemed the entire human race was going to be wiped out by rat-borne diseases.
Truly, I think we might as well worry about the next ice age or a thumping great meteorite as anything you've mentioned above.
You personally are more likely to meet your maker as a result of a wayward bendy bus than in a fight over the last potato in London.
In short: cheer up, it may never happen!
- 25 September 2008 at 19:48
I would use the last potato as ammo for my spud gun and take the opportunity to go out and clean up the streets of all the scum. I would eat tinned chick peas which I would have stolen from a warehouse somewhere, and I would live on a bendy bus with a bevy of roughish beauties in leather shifts. I can hardly wait.
- 26 September 2008 at 09:02
Wouldn't it be better to live IN the bendy bus?
- 28 September 2008 at 11:31
Does one say (when on a mobile phone, for example) "I'm IN the bus. See you soon."? I think not
- 28 September 2008 at 13:37
Hmmm...so Mr Norris expects the buses to be operational after armageddon does he? He does have a great deal of faith in London Transport doesn't he!
Perhaps we could further illuminate this interesting linguistic quirk by asking friends and collegues :"Where did The Double-Deckers live?".
- 29 September 2008 at 11:31
The Double-Deckers lived with their parents. How does THAT solve anything?
- 29 September 2008 at 11:37
In referance to Mr Dant's comment,
Shouldn't it be :"I'm in the bus talking in my mobile phone."?
- 29 September 2008 at 11:42
Nope. It should be:"I'm both in and on the bus and talking into my mobile phone."
- 29 September 2008 at 11:45
If I may be so bold:" I'm not on the roof of the bus and I'm next to my phone. "
- 29 September 2008 at 11:47
Well, a fine state we would be on if we all went around speaking like Mr Bank, I ask you.
"Hello dear, I'm sitting ON a seat ON the bus, though NOT ON its roof, NEXT TO my mobile phone and an elderly lady."
Ellipsis is a fine art.
- 29 September 2008 at 13:22
Well, Mr Ocean made a sensible point about The Double-Deckers and as he's someone familiar with both hallucinatory episodes and a fervent desire to entice young ladies into his ride, I, for one, believe him.
Anyhew, let us consider where The Double-Deckers had their "den".
- 29 September 2008 at 20:05
Hi, Y'all!!! I been followin' this fascinatin' interchange o' ideas from down here in Baton Rouge, and I'd just like ta throw my two cents in.
Now, I'm not sure about yer limey asshole phrazes, but it seems ta me that someone is suggestin' that Chuck Norris (Texas Ranger) will flourish beyond ARMAGEDDON by making a den on a bendy bus. With passwords. And Tiger as Tiger. And Brinsley Schwarz. And any number of GODDAMN COMMIE FAGGOTS.
Y'all are wrng!
God's justice will find you out!!!!
- 29 September 2008 at 20:19
Did somebody say something about bikinis?
- 29 September 2008 at 20:23
I'm sorry, can we get back to the essential question? Is Chuck Norris ON or IN or ON TOP of the bus? And who's the old lady he's sitting next to? And where's John Saxon?
- 29 September 2008 at 20:31
Awww...c'mon you guys! Why not say "articulated bus"? I'd relly appreciate this!
- 1 October 2008 at 06:34
Hey Ben!How do you think I feel?
- 1 October 2008 at 06:35
Pleased to find a site that's prepared to discuss the problems of human/vehicular interfacing. And not only appelation anxiety, but situational stress disorder as well.
For my money, it's always safest to say the following:
"Hello Dear, and by the way for anyone listening I'm talking to my wife and not an animal, I'm putting my mouth next to the phone whilst travelling within the walls of an elongated bus that is jointed. Although I am travelling on the bus I am actually stationary within the bus, but not completely so. I'll be home in ten minutes."
- 1 October 2008 at 06:47
You can only imagine the trouble I have with him, can't you?

How do you go about Calculating Due Dates?
Calculating due dates is a frequent question for mothers to be who want to know when the baby is due so they can plan baby showers and other things accordingly. Due dates are based on the pregnancy gestational age which is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. The exact date of conception is hard to determine so due dates are generally calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period.
Calculating Due Dates:
First Day of LMP: The first day of your last menstrual period is a good guide to calculate due dates for moms-to-be who have a fairly regular period. This basically works by starting from the first day of the last menstrual period and going out 40 weeks.
Sonogram: A sonogram can be used during the early part of pregnancy to help calculate due dates. Songrams are fairly accurate in helping to determine the due date, but they do become less accurate as the pregnancy progresses. Sonograms are frequently used between the 8th and 12th week of pregnancy to evaluate the progress and gestational age of the baby. Accuracy is enhanced when the first day of the last menstrual period is known along with an early sonogram.
In Vitro Fertilization: A mom-to-be who has become pregnant through in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive technologies will usually have a solid expectation on when the due date should be.
When is the expected due date?
Estimated Due Date: Due dates are only expected or projected dates for delivery. Development is fairly consistent but the actually due date of a full term pregnancy may vary a week or two in either direction. Less than 10% of all births actually occur on the specific due date. Your healthcare provider will monitor the development and wellness of your baby and there is little concern if the baby comes a week early or a week late. Due dates are only estimates.
What factors hinder calculating due dates?
Last Menstrual Period: An irregular period, not tracking your menstrual period, or forgetting when your period occurred can all be factors that make calculating due dates more challenging. If you can estimate when your period started and combine this with a sonogram, it should provide a fairly accurate due date – at least enough for you to plan your prenatal visits, showers and other pregnancy related activities.
Baby's Growth: In some cases it is difficult to determine the gestational age because the baby is unusually large or small. Also, in some cases the size of the uterus in early pregnancy or the height of the uterus in later pregnancy does not match the first day of the last menstrual period. In these cases as well, it is difficult to obtain an accurate gestational age.

After months of contemplation, a judge accepted James Holmes" please of not guilty by reason of insanity on Tuesday afternoon (June 4).
The current news sets the stage for whats sure to be a lengthy mental evaluation of the Colorado theater shooting suspect after his horrifying massacre during the Dark Knight premiere on July 20, 2012.
According to reports, the court clerk placed a written advisory of the ground rules in front of Holmes for him to follow along as Judge Carlos Samour Jr. read through the points.
After the reading, Judge Samour asked if James had any questions in which he replied no.
I find Mr. Holmes understands the effects and consequences of the not guilty by reason of insanity plea, Samour said. He was looking at the advisement and appeared to be following along.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in an Aurora, CO movie theater and was charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder for which prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
With the current news, Holmes now has the opportunity to avoid execution by conducting multiple doctor evaluations and face trial in front of a jury. If the jurors find him not guilty by reason of insanity, he would be committed to a mental hospital.
Stay tuned to GossipCenter for the latest on this case.


text: Home > Sports Watney falls well short in Tiger chase By Mark Lamport-Stokes, Reuters Posted at Jan 30 2013 10:57 AM | Updated as of Jan 30 2013 06:57 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn SAN DIEGO - Nick Watney knew he was up against it in his unlikely bid to chase down Tiger Woods in the Farmers Insurance Open final round and he ultimately fell well short after making a bright start. Six shots behind Woods after the fog-delayed third round was finally completed at Torrey Pines on Sunday, he went on to birdie four of his next nine holes before fading after the turn on Monday. Watney never got closer than five strokes off the lead, piling up four bogeys in strengthening winds over the last nine holes to close with a one-under-par 71. "As a competitor, I wanted to give it to him (Woods)," 2009 champion Watney told reporters after tying for fourth at nine-under 279, five behind Woods who also stumbled over the closing stretch. "It was definitely a long shot, but I would have liked to get a little closer. But it was a tough day. I'm glad to be done, for sure." Watney applauded the form shown by Woods, who won the PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines for a record seventh time. "I don't if anybody would have beaten him this week," he said. "He's definitely on his game. When he gets like that, you've got to play your best to compete, and unfortunately, I didn't today. But I'd love to have a shot at him sometime." Asked to assess the state of his game after playing two events on the 2013 PGA Tour, Watney replied: "It's pretty good. You know, today was a bit rocky. I don't know if it was the wind or whatever it was. "I'm close to doing some good things, and I just want to get a little closer next time. Although today was a bit disappointing, I'm looking forward to next week." Watney, a five-times winner on the PGA Tour, has an impressive track record at the Farmers Insurance Open with five top-10s in nine starts, including his victory four years ago. "I love it here," the soft-spoken 31-year-old said. "This is one of my favourite spots that we play. It's always nice to come out to somewhere where you've won." Watney will compete in his third PGA Tour event of the year at this week's Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Marbel are a Florida-based company made up of engineers, designers and visionaries who all share the same dream: the future of electric travel. We asked them to give us their predictions on how much faster our journeys could become.
You are reading an article from The Future of Travel series. To read more about this you can visit the series homepage.
Whether it is commuting to work, getting to the subway or bus stop, running errands, or trying to get across a college campus, short trips and urban travel have always been frustrating. In a car we deal with traffic, parking, and rising fuel costs. On a bicycle, we work up a sweat and then have to find a rack to lock up.
We felt there had to be a better way to handle trips less than 10 miles. For the past two years we have been dedicated to solving these problems with innovative electric vehicles.
Using modern technologies we are making vehicles that are sustainable, convenient, efficient, intuitive to use, and more importantly, fun. Ultimately, we want to make short trips easier and greener.
Our goal at Marbel was not only to conquer the challenges of short trips, but also to create the lightest electric vehicle in the world. We have accomplished this with our electric, motorized longboard. It weighs just 9.8 pounds, goes over 10 miles per charge, will recharge in around 90 minutes, and will hit top speeds of over 20 miles per hour.
We want to make trips shorter and greener.
We are able to achieve all of this by using state of the art Carbon Fiber and Kevlar composites to create a deck design that completely encases and protects all of the electronics secured inside. At Marbel, we're using incredibly efficient three-phase DC motors, the same battery technology you will find in a Tesla, and we have integrated everything with your smartphone (iPhone or Android) so a user can completely customize their vehicle's performance characteristics, track their rides and even connect with other users.
In the near future, we love to imagine cities where people can hop on one of our vehicles and shoot over to grab a bite with friends, commute to work, or even get to class quickly.
Once at their destination, they can simply pick up their vehicle and take it with them. If they travel somewhere they would feel uncomfortable carrying in their vehicle, such as a nice restaurant, we foresee secure, solar powered "charge boxes" located right next to bike racks.
In order for this to be achieved, people's thoughts about what a vehicle can be will need to grow. Part of our challenge is to encourage people to shift their perception of travel, and educate them to the new possibilities. We need to build excitement about the practicality and efficiency of great electric transportation.
Even though Marbel's initial product is an electric skateboard, we are passionate about creating several diverse types of short range electric vehicles. Moving forward, we are building upon the technology we have already developed, to apply it and other emerging technologies to our future vehicle concepts.
As this is being written, Marbel is very close to launching our Kickstarter campaign to bring our electric boards to production. The launch is scheduled for May 20th and its success will allow us to start shipping boards to a new generation of urban travelers.
Good luck Marbel! You can follow all the team's progress on Facebook.

Going soft? Has Trump ever gone soft on anything? He's been talking about the immigration issue for years, before he became a politician.
The press is going to try to pressure him to go soft. That will be fun to watch.
Excerpt fromNBC News
Newspapers in Mexico — which has been at the receiving end of many of the new president's threats and promised policy changes — highlighted Trump's statements on migration.
La Reforma ran the president's pledges to make migration merit-based as the top story on its website.
The president told Congress that he was open to immigration reform, a shift from his harsh rhetoric.
In a conversation with TV anchors earlier in the day, Trump signaled a willingness to make a potentially seismic shift in his immigration policy by saying the "time is right" for a bipartisan immigration bill that could include a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants who have not committed serious crimes.
It was a remarkable suggestion from Trump, whose signature campaign promise was to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico and pledged to crack down on undocumented immigrants currently in the country. Trump's supporters rallied behind his hard-line stance and hammered his Republican rivals for taking softer takes on the issue.
Mexico's left-leaning La Jornada, meanwhile, highlighted Trump's announcement that he would unveil an "aggressive strategy to dismantle the criminal cartels that have spread across our nation."
The Daily Mail , read by millions, had its own take:
President Donald Trump put Democrats on the spot Tuesday night in his joint address as he touched on illegal immigration.
'To any in Congress who do not believe we should enforce our laws, I would ask you this one question: what would you say to the American family that loses their jobs, their income, or their loved one, because America refused to uphold its laws and defend its borders?' the president asked.
Trump also promised to build a border wall and said he would rid the country of 'lawless chaos' while signaling that he'd be open to reviewing a comprehensive immigration reform package.
The president was accompanied to the speech by four Americans whose loved ones died at the hands of illegal residents, Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis.
He highlighted each one of them and promised that their family members would 'never be forgotten.'
Democrats said they were bringing illegal immigrant children known as DREAMers before they knew who would be sitting in the president's box in protest of his immigration policies.
Earlier in the day a senior administration official said that Trump could give his support tonight to and immigration reform that allows illegal residents to stay in the country but does not provide a pathway to citizenship.
On Tuesday night, Trump gave a vague nod to the proposal, which he said must protect American jobs.
'If we are guided by the well-being of American citizens then I believe Republicans and Democrats can work together to achieve an outcome that has eluded our country for decades,' he said.
Trump is playing with the minds of the enemy. And they are the enemy as sure as (((Soviet Russia))) was the enemy during its existence.
The Democrats can't craft a proposal that would leave the borders open AND protect jobs. Trump knows that.

So this post comes from a discussion I had with the guy who owns the main village boutique and some other villagers.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary
A Village is
"A small group of dwellings in a rural area, usually ranking in size between a hamlet and a town. In some U.S. states, an incorporated community smaller in population than a town. The inhabitants of a village; villagers. A group of bird or animal habitations suggesting a village"
A City is
"A city is a town of significant size or an urban area with self-government. (noun) An example of a city is [Chicago or Boston]."
I was complaining about the lack of bread in my village. We never have village bread regularly, and I really enjoy village bread. If I could eat it every day I could. I was saying how frustrating it can be living in a village without many resources or services. This is how the dialogue went.
(For the purposes of this entry and for safety and security reasons my village will be called Southfield and other Detroit suburbs will be used to describe neighboring villages).
Sara: No village bread again?!? Don't they know that if they had it every day I would buy it.
Issouf: Yeah, Sara, we know
Sara: I mean, in the next village over they always have bread even when it's not market day.
Issouf: Yeah, Sara, we know, but Southfield is a ville (city,) not a village
Sara: No it's not. There's no electricity here, no running water, no internet, no vegetables, no regular supply of milk, no yogurt, you're out of chicken spam, need I say more?
Issouf: But Southfield is a ville. We have a mayor's office, a prefecture, a health clinic, a, CEG (middle school,) two primary schools, 4 mosques and two churches.
Sara: But Royal Oak (the village 5k away) has electricity, they have a real market, they have two CEGs, one private and one public. They're closer to a ville than Southfield is, but it's still a village. Even Berkley has a real market every three days and they have a caisse populaire (local village credit union). The regional capital is definitely a ville, they have cyber cafes, good restaurants, electricity, running water, and the like. The provincial capitals are like big villages. They only have markets every three days, and most of them don't have cyber cafes
Issouf: But Southfield will be getting electricity soon! It's on its way to becoming a ville
Sara: Ah Bon. Until I see the wires in the ground I won't believe it. Southfield is a village. And if it were a ville, we would have fresh bread every day… *le sigh*
By all technical definitions my current area of habitation is a village. No doubt about it. Other volunteers live in regional or provincial capitals with running water, internet, and electricity (Posh Corps ;-)). I love my village. I love how close-knit it is. And as of right now, je préfère la vie au village
