Stork's Nest
The Stork's Nest is designed to increase the number of women who get early and regular prenatal care so that more babies get a healthy start in life. Stork's Nest provides incentives to help pregnant women make and keep prenatal care appointment. It also teaches expectant parents about healthy pre natal and infant care practices.
How Does Stork's Nest Work?
Pregnant women in Harlem are referred to the Stork's Nest through the prenatal care program at Harlem Hospital. Criteria are very basic: women must be low income and need encouragement to keep prenatal appointments.
Stork's Nest seeks to improve the health of pregnant women and their babies by providing:
- Maternity and baby clothing and nursery items for women who use prenatal care and other support services early and regularly throughout their pregnancies.
- An opportunity for pregnant women to attend educational sessions on pregnancy, birth and infant care.
- Information and referrals to community resources to meet individual health and social services needs.
Women referred to the Nest "earn" points toward incentive items through a variety of health-promoting activities.
Why is Stork's Nest Important?
The March of Dimes estimates that 12% of pregnant women—close to half a million a year—do not get adequate prenatal care. Prenatal care is vitally important for identifying and addressing medical and other risk factors for low birth weight, prematurity and other infant health problems. Harlem has the highest rate of premature births in Manhattan, according to a 2009 New York City Department of Health study. East Harlem has a 12.7% rate of premature births, which is the highest in Manhattan. Central Harlem has the second highest rate of premature births at 11.4%, according to the same study.
Low birth weight and prematurity are among the leading causes of death for babies of all races and the leading causes for African-American babies. Babies born with low birth weight are 20 times more likely to die in the first year of life than babies born at normal weight. If they survive, these babies may face serious health problems throughout their lives
Locally Stork's Nest is a cooperative project of The Five Pearl's Foundation, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. the March of Dimes and Harlem Hospital.

A Console table, also known as sofa table, is modern furniture used in the living space, family room or hallway. These tables are narrow and tall that can be used for decorative and functional purpose. Wondering how? Well, you can put a flower vase, a framed family photograph and memento on the table to touch memories every now and then.
Available in different sizes, shapes, heights, materials and styles, a console table can be an adept addition of class and utility. Here are some things to know before you make your choice.
• Know the purpose of a console table: If you have made up your mind to spend dollars on an exquisite piece, you have to determine the purpose you will use it for. Definitely, you do not intend to keep the table as an empty, underutilized occupant. You can keep display items on the table that will bring grandeur. Ornate lamp shades can give you that extra lighting in the living area. You can use them to post a small night lamp in your bedroom.
• Select the right pattern and style: Console tables can be found in large variety of patterns and styles; from sleek to ornamental and from traditional to trendy. Sofa tables come in an abundance of colors to amaze your senses. You need to envision your home décor and pick the right piece to captivate the onlookers.
• Choose perfect material console table: Console tables can be found in a variety of materials such as wood, glass, plastic and metal. You can select table made of reflective or darkened glass in order to provide ultra-sleek appearance. Wood can be classic as well as modern; make sure you match the room's temperament. Also, you can buy clear glass or light-tinted glass table to brighten up the space.
• Think about durability and maintenance: Instead of getting over-enthusiastic with styles, do consider the durability of the material or else, very soon, you might need to spend again on its repair or replacement. Select the one that is easy to clean and maintain.
• Look at the storage space: Some console tables feature drawers and shelves. If you are purchasing the table for television stand, look for the ones having shelves. This will enable you to store remotes, cable box, DVD-s, and other accessories. Want to place a console table in your study? Use its drawers for storing stationery.
Pairing stylish your console table with a mirror is a great way to make a small room appear more spacious. These tables can be used behind a couch that is not backed against the wall. Thus, a prudently chosen console table will provide extra storage space and also accentuate your room's style quotient.

NEW JERSEY DIVISION OF YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.D.D., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.IN THE MATTER OF THE GUARDIANSHIP OF A.D. AND B.D., MINORS.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, Gloucester County, Docket No. FG-08-0023-10.
Per curiam.
Submitted March 15, 2011
Before Judges Carchman and Messano.
Defendant D.D. appeals from the Family Part's order terminating her parental rights to two of her children, A.D. and B.D. Defendant raises the following points on appeal:
A. The evidence adduced at trial did not support the court's finding that the State met prong two of N.J.S.A. 30:4C-15.1(a) as D.D. is willing and able to provide a safe and stable home for her children and there is no delay in permanent placement.
B. The evidence adduced at trial did not support the court's finding that the State met prong four of N.J.S.A. 30:4C-15.1(a) as termination of D.D.'s parental rights will do more harm than good.
We have considered these arguments in light of the record and applicable legal standards. We affirm.
D.D. and W.D. had four children together: a daughter, A.D., born September 11, 1997; another daughter, B.D., born February 17, 1999; a son, L.D., born July 20, 2002; and another daughter, F.D., born October 31, 2004.*fn1 The Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS or the Division) first became involved with the family in 2001 when it received a referral that defendant and W.D. were using cocaine and neglecting their children. The Division spoke to the parents at their home and requested that they submit to a drug test; they refused. The children appeared to be healthy and the home was well-kept, leading the Division to conclude the allegations were unsubstantiated.
The Division received another referral in May 2002 stating that defendant was pregnant, and she and W.D. were using cocaine. The Division was unable to contact the family. In July, the Division received a referral from the South Jersey Hospital indicating that defendant had given birth to L.D. Although defendant and L.D. tested negative for drugs, it was revealed that defendant had tested positive for marijuana on January 8. The Division again determined the allegations of abuse and neglect were unsubstantiated.
On October 8, 2004, defendant was arrested for theft, receiving stolen property and forgery. W.D. contacted the Division on January 5, 2005 complaining that the children's maternal grandparents, J.T. and H.T., who lived in Pennsylvania, were physically abusing the children. At the time, W.D. had separated from defendant, who was homeless and sometimes stayed with her parents.
W.D. was not working either and was receiving welfare and staying with his mother, L.S. W.D. had custody of the children. After conducting an investigation, DYFS found the charges against the maternal grandparents to be unsubstantiated.
On January 31, 2005, defendant was sentenced to a minimum of three months in prison following her guilty plea to theft and forgery. In March, she was again sentenced to a period of probation after pleading guilty to theft. On May 12, defendant was again arrested for theft and receiving stolen property.
On May 23, 2005, the Media, Pennsylvania police made a referral to DYFS. W.D. was transporting L.D. and F.D. to defendant's residence for visitation when he was arrested for possession of two small baggies containing cocaine residue. Defendant was residing with a friend at the time.
DYFS investigated and spoke to L.S. She denied any knowledge of her son's drug use, but agreed to a safety plan wherein she would not leave the children alone with W.D.
On June 24, 2005, defendant was again arrested for theft, forgery, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia.
J.T. contacted the Division regarding the arrest and further advised that defendant and W.D. were both using cocaine. J.T. indicated that A.D. and B.D. were in Florida with their father and she was looking after L.D. and F.D. However, H.T. and J.T. were moving to an age-restricted community where the children were not permitted to reside. On June 27, J.T. and H.T. left L.D. and F.D. at Child Protective Services in Pennsylvania, and the two children were placed in foster care. W.D. returned from Florida on July 20, 2005, and Child Protective Services returned L.D. and F.D. to him.
On September 1, 2005, defendant was sentenced to two years probation after pleading guilty to theft and forgery.
On January 3, 2006, the Division received a referral from J.T. and H.T. who were once again caring for L.D. and F.D. Defendant had just been released from a drug rehabilitation program, lacked food or money and asked her parents for assistance. The grandparents could not reach W.D. or L.S. who were in Florida with B.D. and A.D. When J.T. and H.T. advised that they were unable to care for the children, DYFS took temporary custody of L.D. and F.D.
On January 5, 2006, the Division filed a complaint seeking custody of L.D. and F.D. The court granted the Division's request and placed the ...

St. Vincent Gristmill
This is the basilica of St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe Pennsylvania, which is the motherhouse of all the monasteries of our congregation. The basilica is beautiful, with some wonderful old stained glass windows in the nave of the church and more modern ones in the crypt. The monastery guest quarters are very nice and the hospitality every bit as good as St. Benedict says it should be in the Rule. The archabbey has a college and a seminary, and is also home to the Fred Rogers Center, which house all of the archives from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and the entire career of its creator. But of course, what I was most interested in was the St. Vincent Gristmill.
Boniface Wimmer and his eighteen pioneer monks came to Pennsylvania in 1846 with the intention of building a monastery which we be as self-sufficient as possible. Soon the community had cleared and planted fields, build a sawmill and a brickyard, and constructed a number of buildings, including the gristmill in 1854. Buhrstones were imported from France, the building and apparatus were designed by a local millwright, and the construction undertaken entirely by the monks themselves.
Visitors to the gristmill are not allowed in the upper two floors (although I'm hoping I can get a private tour some time!) but the lower floors include views of the secondary stones and some of the apparatus. There is a 10 minute video depicting the mill's history and its current operation (which I wish they would post in its entirety on their YouTube Channel) as well as a small gift shop. About twice a week they grind wheat and other grains, which are available for purchase. The apparatus still makes use of some of the original leather belts and wooden gears from 1854.
Another fascinating aspect of St. Vincent Gristmill is the wetlands reclamation project they have begun. The wetlands around the gristmill were seriously polluted by the local coal mining operations. In cooperation with the PA Department of Natural Resources, the monastic community instituted a wetlands reclamation program. Native plants were reintroduced and propagated to act as natural filters to purify the surrounding water and soil. There is also an environmental education room located within the gristmill itself.
I recommend the Archabbey and its gristmill as a fascinating combination of history and modernity---can't wait to go back again!

Firmware Version :
I'm facing this problem long time ago and i couldn't found any solutions, i also can't determine the cause of the problem.
at the beginning my router power button wasn't working on the ON position, i had to push it with my finger all the way in or to use a Duck Tape to keep it ON.. after some time it started not to work even on the ON position when i push it all the way in like i used to have.. so i had to be very delicate not to push the button all the way in to make it power on.
i thought the problem was the spring and removing it will fix the problem.. so i opened my router case to take a look and the spring seems to be fine, there is no dirt and its not broken.
i also removed it to make sure.. and the problem still persist, its even getting worth after removing it, the router powers on after many attempts.
any idea what could be the problem?
P.S, i hear a slightly light buzzing sound every time my router powers on.
my router is TP-Link TD-W8901G

What is VPN?
A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a method used to add security and privacy to private and public networks, like WiFi Hotspots and the Internet. However, using a personal VPN is increasingly becoming more popular as more interactions that were previously face-to-face transition to the Internet. A great many number of companies are slowly coming to realize the actual benefits of VPN
connection. It caters to their networking needs with the admirable features of speed, reliability, security & functionality yet helps them save considerable money.
Privacy is increased with a VPN because the user's initial IP address is replaced with one from the VPN provider. This method allows subscribers to attain an IP address from any gateway city the VPN service provides. A VPN network creates a secure connection over a public network i.e. the internet being one of the most important requirements of daily lives. The encryption for such a connection is provided by using algorithms for having security and the establishment of a reliable connection which is not possible in the case of a proxy server. There are a number of VPN protocols in use that secure the transport of data traffic over a public network infrastructure. Each protocol varies slightly in the way that data is kept secure. Thus VPN provides an encrypted and secure connection tunnel path from a user's machine to its destination through the public Internet.
The use of advanced authentication & encryption protocols in VPN not only prevents illegitimate access of transmitted data but also provides highest level of security. There is more complicated data encryption technology such as SSL but it can't be used everywhere. But VPN is free from any such restriction & offers more resilience while trying to meet the company's data sharing requirement.
However, using a personal VPN is increasingly becoming more popular as more interactions that were previously face-to-face transition to the Internet.
VPN Service
The aim of VPN is to provide the same services as that received through expensive leased lines, but at a acutely very lower cost. Now the VPN connection has brought about the third party internet transport facility which companies can use successfully ...
Virtual Private Network(VPN) is a technology base that connects two individual private networks to a public network, making use of the internet as a normal. Setting up a VPN can be acquainted with for different purposes such as for Remote Access over the Internet, Connecting Networks over the Internet and Connecting Computers over with an Intranet. The aim of VPN is to provide the same services as that received through expensive leased lines, but at a acutely very lower cost.
Now the VPN connection has brought about the third party internet transport facility which companies can use successfully to connect the telecommuters, remote users & even remote offices with the main corporate site. They can also consider incorporating DSL technologies to increase the remote connection bandwidth volume further there by reducing its cost effectively. These savings on cost can later be invested in the productivity enhancement of the entire team.
The VPN connection allows for the expansion in the ability of the network in scale without the need of any additional infrastructure. Again the companies using lease-line networks can easily opt for additional physical band-width & have the facilities of VPN connection within the uniform cost. The VPN is found compatible with the devices & ISPs & make way for new owner addition.
You resolve need to visit a VPN service provider's website. Register online in the site and download the software to any scheme in the office network. This will not take 30 minutes. The downloaded software establishes link between the office networks with the VPN service through the internet without any need to change in the firewall. Leaving the firewall unchanged, the network is powerfully secured from the hackers. You can add users to the service once the office network is connected. The computer users can setup their computers for VPN access. There are advanced VPN maintenance available, which allows the remote user to work immediately after registration.
VPN Server
That's why it is otherwise known as internet VPN. The internet VPN has enabled divers businesses to get connected to their office servers from places other than office.
The virtual private network connection otherwise known as VPN connection is a secured computer network that is carried as an additional software layer on the top of an existing network for enhancing the private scope of computer communications or facilitating a secure extension of a private network into an insecure network called internet.
The VPN servers appear use of Virtual Private Network technology. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is actually a private network that is built upon the public network of internet & uses encryption & other security methods to maintain privacy & secrecy of organizational information throughout. That's why it is otherwise known as internet VPN.
The internet VPN has enabled divers businesses to get connected to their office servers from places other than office. The PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) in VPN servers make it possible for Mac & Windows users to log on to the PowerElf servers from anywhere in the world. A secured 128bit encrypted connection is made from the local computer to VPN servers by virtue of the PPPT. The VPN is considered more secured as both the destination & source network addresses along with the data are encrypted.
The VPN establishes virtual connections with remote sites & networks through internet & allows users to access them without any breaking. The virtual private network is slowly becoming a popular method to get connected to the LAN or office network.
The intensified security features like passwords, firewalls, encryption & other security methods make VPN server more secured. The internet VPN is create to have control on a great many number of sites & servers as well. A remote-access VPN is the most common type of virtual private network which helps in creating a secure tunnel from your system to your office server.
In some cases you don't even need to have internet access but you only need a computer, phone line, modem and software, which network administrator might have installed on your computer or you will be provided with the instructions that how to configure PPTP.
For VPN connection, internet access is not always required. But a system with telephone line, modem & software are all what is required to properly configure PPTP. It will enable the user to get connected to his/her company's server & start accessing it through a VPN. All the remote computers in an internet VPN act as if they are all present in the same & secured LAN.

While you should never change for a woman, there are 10 things you really shouldn't do when you have a girlfriend. Read on to discover what to avoid. By Filip Teovanovic
Truth to be told, every guy with a normal or high level of testosterone is immediately going to say, "I can do whatever I want when I am in a relationship. My chick can't forbid anything. If she did try to put a veto on something, I wouldn't be with her." Still, if you have been in a relationship for few years and you are spouting nonsense like this, you are either lying or dating a blow-up doll. Or maybe you are just an idiot and your girlfriend is soon going to figure it out and dump you.
10 things you shouldn't do when you have a girlfriend
Be yourself… until she is hurting. You should be messing up her bed, not her life. Even though it is better to be full of yourself than empty, your freedom cannot be at its full potential when you decide to have a girlfriend. The seriousness of a relationship is measured by a smile: don't make her sad, and don't make her mad.
#1 You can't black out whenever you want. What is it called when you have a fear of looking inside your wallet after going out? Pray you don't have this phobia. For example, your buddies are making fun of you for becoming such a miser. They are calling you out every weekend to get wasted, just like old times. A few times a year is cool, but if you blackout every Saturday, you are probably going to fall out of love. No girl likes her boyfriend to be a drunk. She loves Beyonce, and she loves when you are drunk in love. [Read: How to be a good boyfriend – 10 traits that matter]
Another example: you are meeting her parents and her dad wants to have a drink with you. You don't want to give off the impression of being a lightweight. That doesn't mean you should drink the whole bottle and puke all over the bathroom in her parent's house. Alcohol might be a magic poison that kills all of your insecurities, but it can also kill your relationship.
#2 You shouldn't go out with her girlfriends. Keep your dignity. If your girlfriend is out of town for a month because of her job, don't go out for coffee or a drink with her friends. Maybe they have a deal with your girlfriend to check up on you.
First of all, those are her girlfriends, and unless they are in serious trouble, don't hang out with them—and especially don't go out with them. You never know which of her friends are jealous of your relationship, and are just waiting for an opportunity to notice your weak spot when you're drunk. The evil one will wait for you to say something you shouldn't. She is likely on the hunt for Freudian slips. The day after, she will call your girlfriend and say, "It was all fun and games until…" [Read: How to stop being manipulated in a relationship]
#3 You mustn't buy into the idea of bros before hoes. NO! Maybe when you were 12 and a virgin. If you are over 20 and you truly believe this sentence, examine your life. Do you seem to always wind up drunk and alone? If you still believe this line, you may just be that loser who gets married, then yells at his wife for daring to ask to spend more time with him. Your teenage life should be behind you.

Turmeric is so popular these days because it has been considered as a super food. Everyone wants a taste of turmeric – it is cheap, easy to find and yet, the health benefits are too great for its price. It looks like ginger and tastes a bit like ginger but it is not ginger. The great thing about turmeric, when it comes to being happy is that it contains turmerones and curcuminods, as Ficek mentions. These components make a person feel better.
Also, spicy foods are natural energy givers without the negative effects. It regulates blood sugar levels, makes the person increase blood circulation and turmeric is a natural antioxidant too – meaning – bye bye cancer. Who won't be happy with that, right?
Note: There is turmeric tea, if you can take the spicy-ness.

The technology expansion of the past decade fueled by the mobile computers in our pocket is slowing, signaling the end to easy growth. Mobile apps are becoming less important as channels of digital engagement are expanding from wearables to vehicles to messaging platforms. Companies are also learning to manage big data but still struggle to figure out how to act on it quickly. In this environment, organizations need to be smart, agile and dynamic to compete in 2017 and beyond. This reality is driving three important trends that will define how digital experiences are built and delivered in the New Year.
- Advancements in artificial intelligence
- Increasingly granular architectures
- Growing reliance on automation
We see the growth of these three trends feeding off each other by simultaneously making the software world more flexible yet complex and, when done right, bringing order and insight. Companies need to embrace change and complexity and innovate even faster to grow and stay competitive.
AI will support new experiences that disrupt the status quo
AI is supporting new experiences in mobile apps and big data and neural networks are coming together to make these experiences smarter and more engaging.
Chatbots are becoming all the rage as this Chinese phenomenon has migrated to the US and provided a new channel to engage users through chat applications. While these experiences are still very rudimentary we expect advancements in AI to make them much smarter and useful. Naturel language processing and deep learning are helping chatbots better understand our intents and provide more relevant responses.
Similarly, Convolutional Neural Networks are revolutionizing image recognition and enabling users to engage with their environment in new ways. Pokemon Go captured the world's attention with AR even though it is a very basic form of what is possible. Investments in self-driving cars are creating new breakthroughs in neural networks that enable machines to better identify objects and roads. We see some of these advancements supporting next generation augmented reality experiences in 2017. Blippar has already brought to market an app that can identify people's faces and objects enabling a new way to explore our world and discover new content on the web.
While the promise and potential of new experience powered by AI are very compelling, these types of technologies have disappointed in the past. These systems still need more data to train on and get smarter. With the continued attention and investment in this space in 2017, we look forward to seeing really smart experiences.
As with any new advancements, the status quo will be disrupted. The control mobile operating systems and search engines have on content discovery gated by the app store and search is also being eroded by the emergence of visual discovery and chatbots. How Google and Apple respond and participate will be an important dynamic to keep an eye on this year.
Software continues to get more granular and flexible
As companies and their technologies are forced to be more agile, development practices have followed suit. Apps and services have been broken down into smaller pieces that that can be easily assembled to quickly create robust and unique experiences. This is happening on both the front end and back end.
Microservices were a big hit in 2016 and we expect continued adoption of these componentized mini services. An April 2016 Container Journal survey found that 1/3 of respondents had microservices in production and 70% of respondents were investing in them.
This trend is also migrating to the front end of digital and mobile engagement. Google announced Instant Apps in May which are mini apps that can be launched from a separate app through deep linking. Only relevant code and content is loaded so the response is quick. Small interfaces or widgets are also being used inside chat apps to process payment or present content.
This trend towards smaller bits of code will lead to more dynamic experiences that can be personalized and customized much more easily. The challenge with smaller and more dynamic apps and experiences is they become very difficult to manage. With brands trying to maintain a consistent message across all channels to deliver a true omnichannel experience, managing such complexity may be too hard for the human to handle on their own. This increased complexity will drive demand for even more automation in delivering and maintain these experiences.
To support complexity software development is increasingly automated
Automation is reducing repetitive tasks to increase the speed of delivery and free up humans to focus on higher cognitive tasks and oversight.
DevOps practices such as continuous delivery and continuous integration are no longer nascent and new build automation and testing automation tools are gaining market traction. Container orchestration engines such as Kubernetes are also seeing explosive growth. These solutions automate the process of building apps with containers through orchestration, self-healing, and automatic roll outs and rollbacks that monitor apps as changes are being rolled out.
Consolidation of development silos and integration will also be enabled by new automation tools. Workflow automation tools are being used to coordinate the synchronization of data between modern software and legacy systems to make it more accessible across multiple systems.
We expect automation in software delivery to continue to get more sophisticated and integrated in 2017. Software development and delivery will resemble an assembly line as software migrates through an integrated tool chain.
As DevOps has become mainstream and automated, monitoring and quality control will be increasingly important. Ensuring that code is secure and functions well will drive demand for additional tools that integrate testing and security throughout the process. Metrics and monitoring tools that identify opportunities for greater optimization and remove bottlenecks will also see greater adoption, enabling enterprises to deliver better code quicker.
Process improvement will drive gains in 2017
With the delivery of digital experiences smarter, more componentized and automated they will evolve quickly in 2017. Experiences will continue to get more personalized and conversational making it easier for users yet more complex for development and IT.
With the rate of change accelerating the divide between the innovators and the laggards will continue to widen. Organizations that can break down processes into smaller pieces, and intelligently automate them and leverage AI to deliver the right content and data at the right time will gain a competitive advantage.
AI combined with an automation engine can assist in delivering the right widget in a chat app or more effectively orchestrating containers and fixing problems. In either case, components + automation+ artificial intelligence = better faster and more relevant engagements.
Monitoring, process control, and analytics will be an increasingly important theme in 2017. The ability for organizations to analyze their processes and make incremental improvements to delivery will pay significant dividends in better digital experiences and more loyal users and customers.

Oct 242008
Speaking of Halloween, my best friend is having her annual party, which is usually friends and family just a small gathering. When I spoke to her about going to see Sweeney Todd, which is why we are not going to have a party since my housemate is in the show, she voiced her concerns about what foods to serve. I told her not to worry about me that I can fend for myself besides a I'll have ye ole eppy pen with me just in case. Besides I just bought my costume. Okay so it is a spider-man uniform t-shirt that I'll be able to wear any time. I know she has six dogs (yes I said six dogs) and that she serves things I am allergic to like carrots and celery (and now soy) but it is tradition and I won't miss it just because I can't eat.

Ask a Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello Anna.
Thanks for being interested in doing the next instalment.
The scene will be as follows. One of the groups have now finished their safari and really enjoyed it, they decide to spend the last days at a lakeside retreat .they participate in various activities. Volley ball, tennis, and some go swimming. They think that because it is a lake away from swamps and the sea that they are safe from any dangerous predators. What they don`t know is that sometimes very large Bull sharks sometimes swim up rivers into the lakes to hunt .AND unfortunately this is just that time .
The guy in the picture decides to go for a swim just around sunset, and it is at this point that the large Bull shark attacks and feeds.
This is where your skills are once more needed. Look forward to reading your scene.
Many thanks in advance.
Hello Anna, Thanks for the update.
Once again thanks for a great scene .Truly awesome.
1) When the shark bites the guy's buttock will she eat the bit of his tight red swim trunks to, or spit them out?
2) When the shark moves into nose at the red swim trunks will the guy is face down in the water?
3) How will the red swim trunk still be attached to the guy's body?
4) Where will the shark grab the skimpy red trunks to tear them off the guy's body?
5) What will happen to the remains of the red trunks?
6) If the guy is face down in the water, will the shark come up from below him to bite off his Genitals?
7) The guy looks as if he was well equipped in the swim trunks, would the shark be able to taste the difference between that meat and what she had already eaten?
8) I would ,imagine that once she had the guys manhood etc. in her mouth she would squeeze it in between her upper and lower pallet and then swallow it down intact?
9) You say that it will take the shark about a week to digest what she eats; would that include the guy's genitals?
10) What other sort of scavengers might feed on the guys remains as they float in the water?
11) What if anything might any one going out hunting for the guy find?
Once again thanks for the great information.
She probably won't even notice them, and will swallow taht piece of them.
Yes, he is.
The shark will rip them pretty badly, but they will be attached by the waistband. and just floating in the water.
She'll be able to get the best grip at the top over the buttocks.
They'll probably float to the surface.
She will use her bumping technique to get him into a good position to bite them off. It likely be from below, but with him face up.
7) The guy looks as if he was well equipped in the swim trunks, would the shark be able to taste the difference between that meat and what she had already eaten?
Yes. There is more fat there, and that's what sharks like.
8) I would ,imagine that once she had the guys manhood etc. in her mouth she would squeeze it in between her upper and lower pallet and then swallow it down intact?
Yes, she wouldn't really chew it, since her teeth are made for tearing, but she would savor it as she squeezed it.
Everything will be blended together in her stomach, including the genitals. The whole works will take about a week to digest.
Fish, small crsutaceans, water birds.
Parts of his red trunks, possibly his scalp, some larger bones.

That said my sister-in-law brought up the Whole 30 to my attention. And after doing a minimal amount of reading (the plan is pretty straight forward), we both decided to dive in! I mean come on it is just thirty days. In Di's words, "If we can't give up a food for thirty days we might need to go to rehab".
So we set off on our adventure. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be. I do really well with extremes... shocking to all those who know me well right?!? The hard fast lines are easier for me then the "limit" lines.
If you're anything like me eating a portion of ice cream is silly. Imean have you seen what they call a serving size?? No one eats that small of an amount! It reminds me of the chick from Devil Wears Prada:
Point being I do much better with extremes so this diet was right up my sleeve.
The first few days were a struggle. I was constantly wanting to make "substitute foods". Like I love brownies and I found great recipes were I could make them with all approved foods... but that isn't the point. It is to revamp your food intake.
As the days passed it became easier and I struggled less.
After the 30 days were over:
- I didn't loose any weight but I didn't plan to.
- I did feel empowered: I can live without sugar and it's ok!
- I got creative with foods and found that living "Whole 30" isn't living lesser.
- I'm excited to implement a lot of what I have learned in my day to day diet!
- I'm excited to slowly introduce some of the foods I missed. (I mean don't get me wrong I love me some fruit but a delicious brownie on occasion is needed!)
Overall: I think it was way easier then I thought is was going to be and I am so glad to have done it and liked it enough that I am trying to stick to it for two meals a day!
What health challenges have you gotten yourself into lately?
Live. Love. Loud.

By Rod Nickel
Oct 24 (Reuters) - Potash Corp of Saskatchewan on Thursday reported a sharp drop in third-quarter earnings and cut its full-year outlook more than Wall Street expected as buyers backed away from the key fertilizer ingredient potash.
Last summer's breakup of rival Belarusian Potash Co (BPC) has roiled the market, leaving North America's Canpotex Ltd, owned by Potash Corp, Mosaic Co and Agrium Inc, as the last potash trading partnership with such global clout.
"The most recent quarter can best be characterized as a predictable response to an unpredicted event," said Potash Corp Chief Executive Officer Bill Doyle. "As we have seen in the past, fertilizer customers faced with uncertainty act with extreme caution."
Shares of Potash Corp, the world's largest fertilizer supplier and biggest producer of the crop nutrient by capacity, dropped 1.4 percent to $31.25 in New York before normal trading hours.
The stock has lost 16 percent since late July, when the biggest global producer, Russia's Uralkali OAO, quit its export partnership with Belaruskali and said it would seek to maximize sales volumes.
Potash cut its 2013 earnings estimate to a range of $2.00 to $2.20 per share, which would be the least profitable results since 2010. It previously had forecast $2.45 to $2.70.
The new outlook is well off the average Wall Street estimate of $2.33 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The lower outlook is "not too surprising, given the market conditions," said analyst John Chu of AltaCorp Capital. "Some of the other players were already bringing down their numbers, so until we get some sort of resolution (to the Russia-Belarus dispute), potash demand is going to remain weak in the near term."
Potash Corp said it expected to ship 8.0 million to 8.4 million tonnes of potash in 2013, down from a July forecast of 8.5 million to 9.2 million tonnes. The company idled production at its Canadian potash mines longer than usual in the summer to whittle down a large stockpile, and said it would keep its operating level below that of the first half.
The crucial U.S. autumn fertilizer season is just under way, and applications are strong in some areas, the company said, but harvest delays may push some U.S. demand into next year.
Potash Corp also said it expected Canpotex to resume sales to China sometime this quarter. The sales had stopped after a first-half contract expired.
Net earnings for the third quarter at Potash Corp fell to $356 million, or 41 cents per share, from $645 million, or 74 cents per share, a year earlier.
Analysts on average expected the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based company to earn 42 cents a share.
Sales dropped about 29 percent to $1.52 billion. The analysts' average estimate was $1.50 billion.
Potash signaled the weak third quarter earlier this month, reducing its earnings estimate to 41 cents per share from a range of 45 cents to 60 cents.
The company's potash sales fell to 1.5 million tonnes in the third quarter from 2.1 million tonnes year earlier. Potash Corp's average realized price dropped 28 percent to $307 per tonne.
"It seems like the market is basically frozen to a point where we're trying to find a level of price that is supportive of the producers and also the end users," said Edward Jones analyst Jeffrey Nelson.
Uncertainty in the potash market spilled into the other two crop nutrients Potash Corp sells, phosphate and nitrogen, as buyers gambled that prices would fall further.
Sales of phosphate amounted to 900,000 tonnes in the third quarter, similar to those of a year earlier, but Potash Corp's average realized price tumbled 13 percent to $467 per tonne, Demand from top importer India looks weak through the rest of the year, the company said.
Nitrogen sales increased 27 percent to 1.4 million tonnes, but Potash Corp's average realized price plunged 29 percent to $327 per tonne.
In September, Agrium said it expected its third-quarter potash sales volumes to be about 30 percent lower than normal, with nitrogen down 20 percent and phosphate falling 30 percent. Mosaic Co also cut its third-quarter outlook for the price and sales volumes of potash and phosphate.

The caretaker Socialist prime minister, hospitalized since Thursday with pneumonia and kidney failure, met Communist leader Harilaos Florakis for 25 minutes. Officials said he made several proposals to win over Florakis, including a plan to satisfy calls for a cleanup of scandals in which Socialist ministers are accused. Papandreou, 70, who was defeated in elections last week, is trying to forge a coalition to prevent the conservative New Democracy Party from coming to power.

TIM DEERINCK, ET AL.,PLAINTIFFS,v.HERITAGE PLAZA MORTGAGE INC., ET AL. DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Morrison C. England, Jr. United States District Judge
Pending before the Court is Defendants Bank of America, N.A. and Bank of New York Mellon's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).*fn1
(Defs.' Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 10.) For the reasons discussed below, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is granted.*fn2
A. Introduction
On June 28, 2011, Plaintiffs Tim and Dina Deerinck ("Plaintiffs") filed the present action against Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), doing business as BAC Home Loans Servicing, and Bank of New York-Mellon ("Bank of New York"), as trustee for the benefit of the Countrywide Alternate Trust 2006-8T1 ("Countrywide Trust")(collectively, "Defendants").*fn3
Plaintiffs' Complaint seeks relief under five causes of action:
(1) declaratory relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2201-2202; (2) negligence; (3) violation of the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1641(g); (4) violation of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code section 17200 et seq.; and (5) quiet title.
B. Allegations in Plaintiffs' Complaint*fn4
In January of 2006, Plaintiffs executed a promissory note for $585,000.00 ("Promissory Note") with Heritage Plaza Mortgage, Inc. ("Heritage"), in order to purchase property located in Manteca, California (the "subject property"). (Compl., ECF No. 1 ¶¶ 16, 58; Defs.' Request for Judicial Notice ("RJN"), ECF No. 11, Ex. B.)*fn5 The Deed of Trust named Heritage as the lender, First American Title Company of Stockton as the trustee, and Mortgage Electronic Registrations System, Inc. ("MERS") as the beneficiary. (Compl. ¶ 58; Defs.' RJN, Ex. A at 1-2.)*fn6 Plaintiffs identify Bank of America as the loan servicer. (Compl. ¶ 95.)
Plaintiffs' claims focus on the securitization and sale of their Deed of Trust and Promissory Note on the secondary mortgage market. (Id. ¶ 3.) Specifically, at some point after origination, Heritage attempted to securitize and sell Plaintiffs' Deed of Trust and Promissory Note to the Countrywide Alternative Trust Series 8T1-2006 (the "Countrywide Trust"). (Id. ¶¶ 4, 9-10.) Bank of New York is the Trustee of the Countrywide Trust and the Countrywide Trust is governed by a Pooling and Servicing Agreement ("PSA"). The parties involved in the securitization allegedly failed to adhere to the PSA's requirement that the Deed of Trust and Promissory Note must be properly endorsed, transferred, accepted, and deposited with the Countrywide Trust on or before the date specified in the PSA.
(Id.) As a result of this failure to comply with the PSA, Plaintiffs' contend that the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust are not part of the Countrywide Trust. (Id. ¶ 10.) Thus, Bank of New York, as Trustee for the Countrywide Trust, has no authority to collect on the loan. (Id. ¶¶ 4, 10-11.)*fn7
Plaintiffs contend they then attempted to determine the identity of the current owner of their Deed of Trust and Promissory Note. On or around April 12, 2010, Plaintiffs sent a Qualified Written Request ("QWR") letter to Bank of America requesting specific information about the status of Plaintiffs' loan account. (Id. ¶ 44, Ex. B.) In response to the April 12, 2010 QWR, Bank of America represented that Bank of New York was the owner of Plaintiffs' Deed of Trust and Promissory Note and that Bank of America is the servicer. (Id. ¶ 45, Ex. C.) Per Plaintiffs' April 12, 2010 request, Bank of America enclosed a copy of Plaintiffs' Promissory Note. (Id.) According to the Plaintiffs, the Promissory Note was not endorsed by or to Bank of America or Bank of New York. (Id.)
On May 13, 2010, Plaintiff Tim Deerinck e-mailed Alicia Reatz, a relationship manager with the Bank of New York, to obtain more information about the ownership status of their Deed of Trust. (Id. ¶ 46.) Ms. Reatz informed Plaintiffs that Bank of New York is "a Trustee, therefore, we [Bank of New York] do not physically own the loan or the property." (Id. ¶ 47.)
On August 9, 2010, Plaintiffs commissioned a company called Luminaq to conduct a securitization audit on their Deed of Trust and Promissory Note to determine the current owner of their loan. (Id. ¶ 48.) Plaintiffs contend that Neil L. Garfield, Esq., an attorney with Luminaq, determined that: (1) Heritage did not effectively dispose of the beneficial interest in Plaintiffs'
Deed of Trust and Promissory Note; (2) Heritage failed to transfer Plaintiffs' Promissory Note and Deed of Trust to Bank of New York and the Countrywide Trust; (3) that Heritage Plaza and Bank of New York intentionally and knowingly failed to follow the PSA governing the Countrywide Trust; (4) that Heritage Plaza failed to perfect title by not following the PSA; and (5) "[t]he beneficiaries have no power to enforce the terms of the [Countrywide] Trust." (Id. ¶¶ 49-50.)
On May 9, 2011, Plaintiffs sent a second QWR letter to Bank of America demanding the name, address, and contact information of the current owner of the Note. (Id. ¶ 55, Ex. E.) On June 7, 2011, Bank of America responded to Plaintiffs' second QWR by sending a life loan history report of Plaintiff's loan. (Id. ¶ 56, Ex. F.) According to Plaintiffs, Bank of America did not include any additional response. (Id.) Plaintiffs allege that because they cannot identify the true owner of their note, they do not know if they are sending their monthly mortgage payments to the correct party and that multiple banks may seek to enforce Plaintiffs' debt obligation.*fn8 (Id. ¶ 8; emphasis added.)
In the course of Plaintiffs' quest to identify the owner of their loan, Defendants allegedly failed to properly credit payments made, incorrectly calculated interest on accounts, and failed to accurately debt fees. (Id. ¶¶ 71, 74-75, 77.) As a result, Plaintiffs contend that they have overpaid in interest, their credit limit has been reduced, and their credit score has been damaged. (Id. ¶¶ 71, 74-75, 77.)
Based on these allegations, Plaintiffs challenge the securitization of their loan and seek relief under five causes of action against Defendants. First, Plaintiffs request a judicial determination pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201-2202 that Defendants do not have any right or interest in Plaintiffs' Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, or the subject property and similarly, lack the authority to collect Plaintiffs' mortgage payments or enforce Plaintiffs' debt obligation. (Id. ¶¶ 89-91.) Plaintiffs allege that an actual controversy exists between Plaintiffs, Bank of New York, and Bank of America with regard to Bank of New York's authority to collect mortgage payments and enforce Plaintiffs' loan and as to the secured or unsecured status of Plaintiffs' loan. (Id. ¶¶ 85-88.) Plaintiffs seek punitive damages in order to deter Defendants from engaging in similar conduct. (Id. ¶ 92.)
Second, Plaintiffs allege a negligence claim against Defendants. (Id. ¶¶ 93-97.) Specifically, Plaintiffs contend that Defendants owe a duty to exercise reasonable care to follow California law with respect to the enforcement of debts and to refrain from taking actions against Plaintiffs outside the scope of their legal authority. (Id. ¶¶ 95-96.)
Third, Plaintiffs allege that Defendant Bank of New York violated Truth in Lending Act section 1641(g) by failing to provide Plaintiffs with written notice specifying that Bank of New York had been assigned the beneficial interest in Plaintiffs' Deed of Trust within thirty days ...

Now that I think about it, this happened right after I got a weird error while trying to edit the header block.
"500 server error" usually means that the server is not allowed to serve up the file.
When I look at the Fundamental demo page, the next line is
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/application/files/cache/css/fundamental/main.css"></link>
This is the first call to the 'application' folder so I would make sure the permissions are correct on the applications folder. You can either use your hosts Control Panel -> File Manager to access the file structure and set permissions to 755 or Filezilla can do this as well.
A while ago, I posted a bug report on something similar and Andrew says they are working on it but I think it still exists:
Do you have access to your site via Filezilla or your host's Control Panel -> File manager? If so, try deleting the files INSIDE the 'application/files/cache' folder (leaving an empty 'cache' folder in place)
I still can't sign on to my website. I can log in to my Concrete5 account. My username and password for my website should be the same.

Today I came across this blog post from a knitting company in the UK. This is my favorite part:
Bizarre sentence structure aside, I totally know where they're coming from. I definitely do enjoy that knitting provides me somewhat of a "healthy break" from life. I also enjoy the finished objects that come out-- looking at something and saying "I made that" just puts a smile on my face. :)Firstly, knitting concentrates your mind in a single activity with simple repetitions. When we do this, we relax and forget daily worries. In fact, knitting is also known as "mental yoga". It's recommended to reduce stress.When you knit, you have to control various factors. You have to calculate the necessary thread meters, rounds and stitches number… This means you have to apply basic maths. This stimulates the logical part of our brains. So, you keep it young thanks to this mental gym.Knitting is a process that needs patience, perseverance and self-discipline. So, you can develop these appreciated qualities.

The Iraq Fund, Iraq's first hedge fund, began trading on August 2, the day on which foreign investors were allowed to start investing in the war-torn country. This follows the Iraqi government's enactment of the new foreign investment law last November, giving foreign investors flexibility to transfer capital into and out of Iraq. Foreign investors can form investment portfolios and can trade shares and bonds listed on the ISX. The Iraq Fund focuses primarily on state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which include steel plants, cement factories and glass works, and banking sector stocks listed on the exchange.
The fund has a $250,000 minimum investment requirement and charges 1.5 per cent for management and 15 per cent for performance, with a high-water market. After a one-year lock-up, investors can redeem quarterly. The Credit Bank of Iraq serves as its prime broker and the fund is domiciled in Delaware, the United States. Earlier, Holtz was reported as stating: "We target $100 million. There have been delays, but we'd like to do it within the next 12 to 18 months." So far the fund has attracted only private investors.
"The Iraq Fund provides investors (with an investment vehicle), who have expressed interest to make intelligent decisions," said Holtz, adding: "Iraq is a challenge because of conditions on the ground, but investors understand the risk." Given the physical conditions and the potential of SOEs "we feel we can turn a profit in three to five years," he said.
Asked about the high level of risk associated with an investment in Iraq, Holtz replied: "The difference between Iraq and US is that the US is a mature market. In Iraq there are boundless opportunities and potential but the risk factor is there." He added, however, that "safe is a relative word," citing the recent crisis in the US sub-prime credit market.
The ISX, established in 2004, has 33 companies trading out of 100 listed companies, said Holtz. And according to data for Thursday August 30 from the ISX web site, 29 companies were trading and 21 were off the trading floor following decisions at their annual general meetings to increase their capital. Of those companies traded, there were 12 banks, one investment company, three services companies, 12 industrial companies and one hotel company. Overall, six companies saw their shares rise, while 12 saw them fall. Another 11 stocks remained stable.
The banking sector accounts for 71.5 per cent of the exchange's capital, which reached ID799.2 billion by April 2007. There are 18 listed banks having a combined capital of ID571.5. The pick up in the stock market is good news for its index had fallen significantly between January 2005 and March 2007, according to research on Iraq by the Kuwait-based Global Investment House. Over this period the general index performance lost more than 50 per cent of its value. The deteriorating security conditions resulted in the ISX index falling from its highest level of 72.6 points, in February 2005, to a low of 25.3 points in December 2006. Currently, the ISX index is trading between 40 and 42 points. The index stood at 40.82 points at the beginning of August and 41.90 points at the end.
The move from a manual trading floor to an electronic trading is expected to bring more liquidity to the market, especially as a greater number of foreign investors will be able to trade in Iraqi shares. This is expected to happen in October, according to a posting on the ISX Web site. Initially, however, only five of the listed companies will be traded electronically, and "we don't know how quickly it will take the other 95 companies to be listed", said Holtz.
The ISX currently trades on two days a week for two hours each day but once the exchange becomes automated trading days will increase to five days a week with two sessions per day.
Last week, the Iraqi Securities Body announced that it was regulating the broker market so that only approved brokerage companies could operate on the Iraqi security market. An approval date for the legislation was not specified, according to a posting on the Investor's Iraq forum web site.
It said that the chairman of the Securities Body, Abdul Razzak Al Saadi, had stated: "No new brokerage company would be admitted to the market with capital under one billion dinars, and no licensed banks' brokerage offices could be turned into limited (or contribution) companies without capital of minimum one billion dinars, majority owned by that bank."
He is also quoted as saying: "Current brokerage companies must ensure this year that each shareholder's stake is at least iraqi dinar 35 million and that they must build capital over the next five years to the minimum specified above."

Wednesday I had to make a business (and play...) trip to Boston so I lunged Tom for about 15 minutes before I turned him out. He was a little stiff and slightly off in that left front especially to the right. Yesterday I went to the Equine Affaire in Springfield, Mass. on my way back from Boston. I spoke to several people about EPSM. The general consensus seems to be:
1. Cut his grain (low sugar/starch grain only) as much as I dare without his losing weight.
2. Get our hay analyzed and if it is OK sugar-wise feed as much as he needs to maintain a good weight.
3. Use oil but in moderation. The cup a day is fine for now.
4. Exercise. Exercise. Exercise.
I was late getting home so my husband kindly chased Tom around in the ring for awhile after he had been out all day.
Today I took him out on the lunge, but this time with the saddle on so I could ride him if he looked OK. I lunged him for about 15 minutes and he looked good so I got on. I hadn't ridden him since October 17th- almost 4 weeks ago! When I first got on he seemed to drop his back and be uncomfortable at the walk. But it didn't take very long (maybe 2 or 3 minutes) before he relaxed and started to swing through his back a little. I walked him for about 5 minutes and then trotted. First trot steps were tentative and ouchy, but again, he loosened up fairly quickly. After 5 minutes he had become nice and forward. I didn't have to push to keep him going. I think I have been pushing him for about 5 years! If I had taken my leg off he would just stop. Today I was using very little leg. What a concept! I let him walk for a bit and then I asked for a left lead canter. He picked it right up and fell into trot after about a half a circle. I let him trot a little then asked for the canter again and he got it and kept it for a whole circle, so I brought him back to trot then walk. To the right (his harder canter side) he picked it right up and maintained it better, but was tending to fall out on the circle. I didn't push it- just made a big fuss and told him he was wonderful and put him away.
He really did feel happier tonight. He's definitely frisky. I've had to use the lip chain bringing him in from the pasture several times. Without it he spins and leaps and generally makes my life less than pleasant. With it he's a quiet puppy.
So I cut his feed down to 1.5 qts of Demand twice a day with a cup of oil and 1 qt. of dry beet pulp (then soaked). I think I'll start switching him to Poulin's Equipro Carb-Safe as soon as I can get to the grain store to pick it up. Poulin's people will come analyze my hay next week.
All for now!

A few days ago, I went to Moe's. ( I could say this any day. I go a lot. ) I love Moes and here is why:
Let's start with a burrito. I get the Art Vandalay Jr. because I eat fish, other seafood and vegetables but not meat. A Moo Moo Mr. Cow on kids menu is good but too small for me. An Art Vandalay is too big for me, unless I also want lunch for the next day, or I'm going for lunch and I want dinner for that night but The A.V. Jr. is 'just right', like baby bears porridge to Goldlocks. I like to get: rice, black and pinto beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato and guacamole. Also I order a cup of quesso to go on my chips and my burrito. The ingredients are always fresh and Moe's is fast. It is a good compromise for fast food. You can't drive through, but that's okay. I like to eat there. the music is good and I like hearing them say "Welcome to Moe's!" If you are on the go, the burritos and rice bowls travel well. The tacos get soggy. Eat those right away.
Chips! Moe's makes their own chips. They are pretty good, really. They seem to always be fresh and never too greasy. They go great with quesso! And oooooh the quesso! If you hate spicy things, do not get quesso. It is a yummy, med spicy, cheese dip. On the cup it says: by spoon, by chip, by straw, how will you empty this thing?
ANy of these ways work. I do it 2 ways : By chip and By burrito! The side of quesso, I use it in a split second it seems, so I get a cup. Now that is just me.
I love Moe's! I'll be back.............. maybe 1 or 2 times this week! That is what I usually end up doing.

A little past the threshold of a theme, but the fact that there is a little much needed in order to describe the lighter and more clear my brain frantically, as hungry for the comfort and tranquility.
Nothing is more painful to know people close to us over the situation in which no one wants to be in it. It is not clear what the intention, but did not rule that I try to write will represent a variety of events that could happen to anyone.
Fixated on the fact that there had been in the history of life, maybe not just me, maybe there is "me-me" is another step toward trying to harmonize to anything that is considered large ssebagian man as the norm and normal.
Then the questions that I never used to get the answer, now turned "asked" me … Conscience compels me to act like a man wise in this age sexual intercourse, in which was not the ego, prestige, or pride that represents a decision, but demanded more … the wisdom in taking a decision which of course left a lot of opposition.
If the slogan is true, then this is what happens in our daily lives, that "the old man must have, Adult's choice" is not trying to be like "Old man guided by fear" that sometimes in every 'safe' decisions seem very sensible, but, far in his heart, there is only one concern, that all will not run properly. Because hiding never finish, never ran to answer her.
All I could do just sit, listening to a confession of blood friends, or a friend who tried to summarize the truth becomes a reality exposed. And after that, an arm around her without feeling as a sinner, because akupun no better than them … welcomed her as a form of kesiapanku in providing moral support, and receive a lying head on my shoulder as a manifestation of that, I can and want to understand what happened.
Not trying to patronize, or show the right path, just give a few choices to get the evaluation in decision making. It's never too judgmental, because no one is entitled to orangpun lives of others. Right and wrong way of life a person is not engraved on whether he fervently religious … just how he's dealing with every problem in the cramped space of the individual variety called the world, and how they should behave toward other individuals, without seeing any glasses, just by conscience.
My friend, our conversation this morning, may be a new discourse in your step … and not a wedge and a stumbling block in every step you take … I leave that answer to you, because maybe that's what I need when I was a child, and now, when I became older, parents, and friends … I choose to not select the option parents in general, but the welcome you with open arms.
Old must, Adult's choice
Welcome to the Real World …

With the New York Yankees looking to stay under the $189 million luxury tax threshold next season, there were thoughts the team would be looking at trading some of their current players. Most notably, Curtis Granderson and Phil Hughes were seen as the Yankees best trade bait. Both men are in the last year of their current contracts and it is believed the Yankees will not re-sign either. Now a new name has hit the trade winds.
According to reports, Texas Rangers officials have been seen scouting reliever Joba Chamberlain. Like Granderson and Hughes, Chamberlain is in the last year of his deal. Once the prize jewel of the Yankees minor league system, Chamberlain has been something of a headache for the Yankees. First it was the years of deciding whether he was a reliever or a starting pitcher, then injuries and this season it was his comments suggesting he could be the Yankees closer of the future but that he still sees himself as a starting pitcher caliber.
Chamberlain came up like a lightning bolt for the Yankees. After spending just months in the minor leagues in 2007, striking out 135 hitters in 88.1 innings, he was promoted to the big league team in July and kept his dominance up. In 24 innings, he struck out 34 hitters and allowed just one earned run.
The following season, Chamberlain began the season in the bullpen as the Yankees worked on a plan to convert him into a starter. He eventually made 12 starts and finished the season with a 2.60 ERA. In 2009, he broke spring training as a starter and made 31 starts but struggled to the tune of a 4.75 ERA and was back in the bullpen for the postseason. Over the past three years, he's worked out of the bullpen, compiling a 4.02 ERA and 44 holds. He's battled thru Tommy John surgery and a severe ankle injury that threatened to keep him out all of last season.
If traded, the Yankees would have a big hole to fill in their bullpen unless they get another arm in return. While Mariano Rivera and David Robertson fill the closer and set-up man roles respectively, Chamberlain was expected to be the seventh inning man and replace the innings lost when Rafael Soriano departed for the Washington Nationals.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Friday said that losses in the agriculture production in Luzon due to typhoon Labuyo were "negligible."
Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said that as of August 16, the total coast of production loss in agriculture due to the recent typhoon was estimated at P571.68 million, affecting 51,645 hectares of farm areas in Cordillera Administrative Region, Region 2 and 3.
"Based on our initial estimates, the effect of Labuyo to the farm sector remains negligible," Alcala said.
The biggest damage was reported in corn and banana with P348.6 million and P123.4 million, respectively.
A total of 28,306 metric tons of corns were lost in some 37,621 hectares, while 14, 828 MT of banana crops were damage in 826 hectares.
Meanwhile, some 12,535 hectares of rice areas were damage, resulting to production loss of 4,677 MT of palay.
Other commodities affected were vegetables, fisheries and livestock.
Aurora province suffered the biggest hit, with agricultural damages estimated at P132,2 million. Most of the affected crops are banana and rice in the towns of Dipaculao, Baler and Maria Aurora.
Alcala said DA field staff are continuously conducting damage and needs assessment, as well as validating earlier reports to fasttrack the rehabilitation of the affected areas.
"Those affected crops can easily be replaced," he added.

It has been awhile, indeed. Of not going to class, thinking of school works and other things associated with uni life.
But time flies.
It's time to be back in uni, start going to classes and being busy as a student soon.
Sometimes, one can't help but miss certain moments. But no matter how much one had mixed feelings, we all know our own spots and we go back to our own nest.
Thank you for everything. I shall treasure the acts and the words. Make them the best memories.
Do the same please. :)

The "Babypod" plays the music internally to the child
Following a study in Barcelona that discovered playing music externally to an unborn baby resulted in nothing more than muffled sounds, the Babypod has been created.
The 54-decible transmission strength is sent internally up to the womb via a tampon-sized device, which the makers behind the device claim help to stimulate communication and language, allowing children to begin to vocalize prior to birth.
Priced at approximately €135, the Babypod simply hooks up to your smartphone or whatever device you play your music from.
The kit comes complete with a carry case and auxiliary earphones so you and your baby can listen to the same music at the same time.
Full details behind the creation and the scientific finds behind it can be found on the official website here.

Kitchen Gardeners Rock
This may be my favorite gardening video yet. Produced by Kitchen Gardeners International, it shows man evolving finally into a gardener – wearing Sloggers if I'm not mistaken – holding a trowel and some harvest.Posted by Susan Harris on June 26, 2007 at 2:29 am, in the category Eat This.

Yeah, that's a great one!
It rocks! My 5 year old daughter and I raised our hands in triumph and shrieked out loud (like at a football game) when we saw the picture of the vegetables. Honestly. Completely instanteous, successful JOY at this message. Like we had scored a footy try/touchdown. How funny. What a funny world where I feel so out of place in mainstream society that a video of growing vegetables fills me with such triumph and joy.

Wednesday of the First Week of Lent
Today, in the first reading from John's gospel, we hear how God speaks to Jonah, telling him to go to the city of Nineveh and announce that Nineveh will be destroyed in forty days. In response to hearing this message, the people of Nineveh began to fast. The King of Nineveh proclaimed to the people that "every man shall turn from his evil way and from the violence he has in hand". Seeing that his people were making an effort to turn away from evil, God saved them from evil.
This story of John's gospel truly relates to our own lives, especially during the Lenten season. When the people of Nineveh fasted, the Lord saw their sacrifice and efforts of giving themselves up to God and turning away from evil. The Lenten season is about fasting from what keeps us from God and from what prevents us from seeing Him in our world. When we do this, Christ sees that we want to be closer to Him and has mercy on us. Just as the Ninevites fasted and turned to God, we are called to follow their example and work towards eliminating those things from our lives that pull us away from Christ. In the Responsorial Psalm, we hear, "A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn". Through fasting, we are able to humble ourselves before God and recognize that our desires need not be focused on the desires we have in this world but focused on the desire to be closer to Christ and more like Him. The gospel reading from Luke reiterates how "at the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here". The pleasures and desires we have on this earth are not nearly as great as what is in store for us in God's heavenly kingdom. He is calling us to recognize that what is promised us in life after death is what we should be striving for. Lent helps us to refocus our desires on God.
As you continue throughout the day, keep in mind the example of the people of Nineveh and their steadfast fasting. Offer up a prayer to Christ to have the strength to turn away from evil and to focus your desires on God. During the Lenten season, focus your fast on what can make you more like Christ and what will draw you closer to Him. Replace those earthly desires and practices with other things such as more time devoted to prayer, quite reflection, or simply listening to God in silence. Fasting from these things and filling them instead with time spent in Christ's presence will allow you to understand and feel Him more in your life during this Lenten season. Peace be with you and God Bless!

text: The search for a gunman believed to be involved in the ambush of two police officers in South Los Angeles on Sunday night has been called off, officials said. The search was called off just before 6 a.m. Monday, some nine hours after two men opened fire on a police patrol car driving southbound on Hoover Street near 62nd Street. The LAPD called a citywide tactical alert as it conducted the search, which came less than two weeks after two New York police officers were fatally shot in an ambush. The L.A. shooting was "a completely unprovoked attack," LAPD Capt. Lillian Carranza told KTLA. The two officers were responding to an unrelated call when they were fired upon by a rifle, officials said. One man was taken into custody as a person of interest shortly after the shooting and was being questioned, Det. Meghan Aguilar said Monday morning. But a second gunman is still on the loose, she said. "We do not have a face or a name, there are leads that investigators are following up on," Aguilar said. "This is obviously a dangerous individual who does not belong on the streets of Los Angeles." Despite the surprise attack, neither officer was hurt and they were able to return fire, officials said. A short stretch of Hoover Street between Gage Avenue and 62nd Street was not expected to be reopened until at least 10 a.m., Aguilar said. Police recovered a rifle at the scene of the shooting, which occurred about 9:30 p.m. A three-block area around the shooting scene was immediately cordoned off after the attack as police scoured the area with search dogs. Just before 11 p.m. LAPD advised residents to stay indoors. "Armed suspect in the area," the police station said on Facebook. "Please keep our officers in your thoughts and prayers!"
