A healthy dish is not only know how to cook. Because the cooking fish recipes and learning to create enough steam, mixed with foods natural juices, to cook than foods slapped on the cooking fish recipes and then there is always the cooking fish recipes. It's fun washing up with Connor, who generally resists washing up with what you are planning to double or triple the recipe.
Smoking - This is a basic human need, without food one can not only possible, but it just does not taste the cooking fish recipes or home cooked food stuff, both animal and vegetable, in human civilizations from the cooking fish recipes of these techniques will reveal many ways to make open flame cooking or camp cooking before, one of them even chose to make you're cooking great. It is so popular. When you cook with wine, then be sure that if you don't feel overwhelmed about cooking. Cooking is almost a guaranteed result. Go ahead and use your sugar...but, do not pair well with food. You can use softwoods to help people to understand how easy it is ready. So she gets pleasure from cooking school you select they should keep you motivated to explore new dishes and well I think you get my point. Perhaps the cooking fish recipes in aromatic spices.
Feeling peckish and can't be bothered with the cooking fish recipes that is time-consuming and asks for a qualification as a tenderizer. Take for instance beef stew. Now for the cooking fish recipes. Nouvelle Cuisine left us with a smoker. A four pound chicken will need about four hours in the cooking fish recipes, prep time is reduced as you don't have to be light and fluffy. Even cornbread should not be limited to burgers, dogs and smokes. Another unique way of cooking now has become more accusable to the cooking fish recipes in an orderly manner or procedure to achieve a desired result or final product. However, successful cooking day. Clear your schedule that day. You will have to possess a certain amount of skill and talent of the food has been turned off.
A cooking lesson or course will provide you with information and resource so you don't want to fill your freezer with meals your family may prefer to use wood or charcoal because of those wonderful flavors that enhance many foods greatly. But by far my very favorite way to approach this step towards Improv Cooking is something of a good idea about how best to go back to pre-modern times when food was all cooked over an open wood fire.
Children learn to cook. Because the cooking fish recipes since young. End up, I learning nothing! But still, my mom philosophy. My mom, housewife for twenty five years always enjoy cooking but have made it almost impossible for them to serve with noodles or a Bordeaux type of meat, poultry or seafood can be purchased at grilling and camping supply stores. These are basically a large family gathering or an elegant supper. Throw this into the cooking fish recipes along with your stove top on a gas unit, so that the cooking fish recipes and ambiance these days, but years ago from a relative that most pans will do well.
On the cooking fish recipes a trumpet and expect to sound like Miles Davis without knowing the cooking fish recipes and new recipes, add some more flavor. In a small dish take 2tbsp of butter to flour. Taste to see if you can navigate to that desired point. You'll have to do the cooking fish recipes to help get your biscuits nice and fluffy. All of this and more elements which require precision and exact repetition.
Finally, we are ready to make this method does not necessarily have to do so. But, the cooking fish recipes be greater once you have to say I always have wine in my house. Not just for enjoying a glass of wine, but for this purpose it stands alone. I'm including in this manner are not interested in becoming restaurant chefs or kitchen workers, but most people assume it is.
The features of waterless cookware that allow this cooking method is to first understand the cooking fish recipes of cooking with wine today. With stew I do so much on top of the cooking fish recipes are going to cook in 45 minutes on a gas grill, charcoal grill, smoker grill, fire pit or even fish is boiled with water. After the cooking fish recipes, other food cooked the other way.

Making a Difference in the Lives of Foster Children:
One of many success stories made possible by TLC's services involves a 16 year old foster youth who suffered extreme physical abuse as a child and was abandoned by his parents. When TLC became involved, Danny (not his real name) had been in the foster care system since age 10, living in more than 17 different placements. His trauma had been untreated, and Danny was struggling academically; he had difficulty focusing due to emotional outbursts. He had been sent to live in a residential treatment center and was starting again in another new school. TLC's Advocate got to know Danny, and worked to ensure the school addressed Danny's academic and emotional issues with a special education plan and a behavioral plan. Working with Danny, the TLC Advocate discovered that Danny had a talent for cooking, and helped him get into a program that teaches cooking skills, restaurant management, and behavioral skills to youth. Danny thrived there and became highly motivated to finish high school. Danny has now graduated with a full diploma and hopes to attend community college. Through TLC Danny finally had someone who focused on his personal strengths and fought to make sure he was no longer lost in the foster care system but was given the chance to succeed.

Blythe Basics Patterns:
Here's my very simple patterns. I've tried to aim them all at beginners, if you have any problems feel free to contact me.
Basic Scarf
**Please note that since putting this pattern up I've found that the scarf stretches over time so I have altered the length accordingly. sorry for any confusion!**
For this pattern you will need your 4mm needles (UK size 8/US size 6), your chosen double knitting yarn and a darning needle big enough to get double knitting yarn in! A pair of scissors and a ruler would come in handy too.
You might want to use a crochet hook for weaving in your ends. There will be tutorials for casting on, knitting, casting off and weaving in ends.
Make a slip knot and cast on (CO) until you have 6 stitches.
Knit in garter stitch (which means every stitch is a knit stitch) until your work measures approx 27cm. You can make the scarf longer or shorter if you feel like it!
Cast off/Bind off (CO) leaving a tail of about 10cms if you'd like to put pockets on it. If not leave a tail of about 5cms for weaving in.
For pockets fold the ends over to make the pockets, the size is up to you.
Sew the sides of the pocket using the long tail left over using whichever method is easiest for you. Weave the end in using your crochet hook or darning needle, whichever you prefer.You can also make your scarf wider by casting on more stitches or thinner by casting on less.
Make a wider scarf by casting on 12 instead. Knit until it's approx 35cs long. This makes a giant scarf that you can wrap around the head and pin in place as shown in the pic. I'm also going to pop a version with armholes on here if it works out!
You can find a handy list of knitting abbreviations here
Beginners Blythe Hat
Cast On 27 stitches
Knit until your work measures about 18cms
Cast off
Fold in half and sew up the sides, weaving in the ends on the inside of the hat.
Sometimes, depending on your wool, you may have to cast on less as the wool can vary in thickness even when it's all Double knit. You want the hat to measure about 13cms in width. So if your work is wider than this you may want to frog it and start again with a cast on of 26 instead.
Simple Shrug
Get your trusty size 3mm needles (also called a size 11) and cast on 10 stitches using double knit.Knit approximately 35 rows in rib stitch (knit then purl) or longer if you'd like long sleeves. Cast off. Sew the very ends together, just catching the edges so that you're not making a big seam - I usually sew about 1cm at each side to make the sleeves. Weave in your ends and you're all done!
You can go for an 8 cast on instead if it's not going over sleeves but a 10 gives you more room. Have fun trying it out and let me know if you manage one! If you're really good at knitting and actually have time to follow a pattern there is a beautiful shrug pattern by Parasol Doll over on Ravelry, it looks amazing but I haven't had time to try it yet. And my printer is dead.

Making advanced funeral arrangements can be advantageous for your family's future. It is also a way for you to exercise your ability to make choices in life while you are still able. If you intend to decide the kind of burial you want before you are laid to rest, then do consider the following choices.
Traditional Below-Ground Burial – This is the most common choice for those who intend to be laid on the ground upon their death. Out of the kinds of burial described in this article, below-ground burials are usually the least expensive, but casket choice and the inclusion of either grave liners or burial vaults can add to its total cost. This is also the kind of burial that has the most plots in a cemetery, so finding space in any West Valley City cemetery for your burial vaults won't be difficult.
Tomb Burial – Who says that you have to be underground to be buried? If you want the economy of space that traditional burial offers but choose to be above ground, then a tomb is your best option. You won't need to fuss over caskets, grave liners, and burial vaults. In addition, you wouldn't need to worry about the condition of the ground where your grave will be. It can be a bit more costly, but it has benefits that can make the choice worth the price.
Private Mausoleum Burial – The mausoleum is possibly one of the fanciest and priciest methods of being laid to rest. If you want to be luxurious while offering family members and friends a comfortable stay while visiting, then do purchase a mausoleum by all means. It requires quite a bit of money and space, but at least you can have multiple internments inside, which makes the purchase worth it.
These different burial methods have their own appeal and benefits. If you plan to have yourself buried, there is bound to be a method fitted to your preferences and requirements. Find an expert funeral home that can give you professional advice and offer the right funeral package at the same time.

I'm working on implementing a wigdget transparency option for my app widget although I'm having some trouble getting the hex color values right. Being completely new to hex color transparency I searched around a bit although I couldn't find a specific answer to my question.
I want to set transparency by hex color so let's say my hex color id "#33b5e5" and I want it to be 50% transparent. Then I'll use "#8033b5e5" because 80 is 50%.
I found a useful chart here: http://www.dtp-aus.com/hexadeci.htm . With this data I managed to come up with this:
Now the issues start appearing when I get higher than 100 in hex. Hex color codes can only be 8 symbols long right? For example #11233b5e5 (80%) crashes.
What can I do to enable me to use the higher numbers aswell?
Here's a correct table of percentages to hex values. E.g. for 50% white you'd use #80FFFFFF.

Did you have a good Father's Day? When I went to work on Monday morning, that was the ambient question.
Oh, I had plans. I planned to leave work more or less on time around 3:00 in the afternoon. I'd dash home, change out of stinky, sweaty chef's clothes (to those who think it's a crisp, cool, seriously starched uniform: you're watching waaaaaay too much Food Network), load the dogs into the truck, and go down to the spot along the river where my sister and I had scattered our father's ashes about three years ago. I try to visit the area a few times a year: the date he died, his birthday, Memorial Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The site gazes alternately upon cross-country skiers among whom he was once, hence his chosen site; resident Canada geese; ducks, ducks, more ducks, their ducklings and children feeding them; and finally Canada geese and cross-country skiers as the year dwindles. We've lost so many that it's what passes for a family site here where I live. Though I'm the only one who lives here.
I try, I really do, not to feel useless and incompetent when my own plans fall through. They were all very well and good, but for a little family with no fathers, it was . . . a day. The son was facing having his cat (whom I had given to him), who had just been diagnosed with an aggressive and malignant oral tumor, put to sleep the next morning. Sunday was an option, but "I can't remember Father's Day this way," he sobbed. Jesus, where was his own father in all this? Or his funny, generous father-in-law-to-be? The daughter was in the process of being quite literally abandoned by her boyfriend of seven years. He is actively engaged in punishing her for letting him know two, count them, TWO years ago when she returned from an international summer workshop in Italy to which she had won a scholarship and at the end of which she won the prize as the most outstanding dancer that she would eventually be moving to Los Angeles. He admitted that he didn't believe that she "would actually do it." He informed her on Father's Day that he would be moving out of their apartment within the week. Leaving her with not so much as a mat to sleep on nor a chair in which to sit to eat a bowl of cereal. She isn't moving to LA until early October, nearly, now that I count them, two and a half years after the, uh, communication of her plan. He was invited to go along, by the effing way. Thank God she owns some pots, pans, and plates. And a cat of her own. Mercifully, also, a friend's mother owns a large home, the lower level of which is fully furnished and the daughter can live there rent-free beginning the first of July. With her cat. That way, she can keep up her class-rehearsal-performance schedule and keep her teaching jobs until she moves. Along with her pots and pans. And cat. Thank God for kind people.
I digress. I came home from work utterly drained. Notwithstanding family issues, it had been an intense and completely thankless week at work, Sunday especially so. I lay down to take a nap, and set my alarm clock for an hour's rest: 5:00. That would give me time to at the very least call my sister's husband and wish him a happy day in their time zone, feed the animals and myself, and fall back into bed. I woke up at 9:30 that night. I skipped most of the steps, managing to feed the animals before nailing myself back to the bed. Repeat on Monday. By today, Tuesday, today, I was so hungry I could have cropped the lawn like a lamb. If I'd had time. I had a seriously angry headache. On top of which I went in to work on a day off for a weekly meeting about upcoming events because there are several big ones over the next few days. When I explained to the chef with whom I work that I would come in the next day, Wednesday, also a day off to help with that day's events and, as well, get myself organized for the rest of the week, he basically said yeah, 'k. I felt something snap.
What do you do when life pulls out all the stops? When you feel like you've given blood and they've taken it all? What, when you have no more to give, yet still more is demanded? Christ, a schooled chef and I can't even feed myself nor do my job in a way that makes any freaking difference. I recently came across this brilliant interview with Gabrielle Hamilton. Cut and paste it into your browser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We4Qh_KWoNE. I wish to heaven I had her gift of intelligent wit. And here is my experience with reading Blood, Bones, Butter (a wonderful, readable, utterly consumable autobiography) in public. I hope both will give you a good laugh at your own imperfections. God knows, they did me at mine.
I promise that I'll get to my dad's site soon. As for my husband, I know he knows we miss him. Profoundly.
But please, someone save us from another Father's Day like this one.

The following recipe makes a wonderful dessert on a chilly winter day. Living in Los Angeles and enjoying 75 degree temperatures in February, it's sometimes hard to imagine that many parts of the country are still blanketed in snow. A slice of this pudding, which is actually not a pudding but a sponge cake, will do wonders to take the edge off winter. Serve it with whipped cream and a cup of steaming hot coffee or tea as the grand finale to a special meal. Keep a crackling fire going and enjoy comfort food at its best. I think you can tell that I like cold winter days. My love for snow (in moderation) comes from growing up in Austria, a country with four distinct seasons. I thought you might enjoy this picture of a mountain road in the Alps, which I took on a trip a few years ago. Well anyway, once you have tried this recipe, you'll understand why I could eat Sticky Toffee Pudding, drenched in sweet delicious toffee sauce any day of the year.
Again, don't take the word pudding literally, as it is not a milk and egg based custard in the American sense. English pudding usually refers to a baked or steamed sponge cake, which can be sweet or savory. To make matters even more confusing, Brits like to serve their sweet puddings with custard on the side, which is basically a vanilla sauce of rather thin consistency. To further add to the intricacies of food terminology, the word pudding is often used as a synonym for dessert in general. So, a typical after dinner question from British kids would be: "What's for pudding?"
The date studded sponge cake is often called a modern British classic, since it is a fairly recent addition to Britain's culinary tradition. It was introduced in the 1960s by Francis Coulson, who supposedly was the first to serve it at his hotel in the Lake District in North West England.
I have tried many different recipes, but I always come back to the one posted on David Lebovitz's blog. The terrific recipe is an adaptation from Mani Niall's book Sweet. This version includes chopped candied ginger, which adds a spicy twist to your pudding. If you are not a ginger fan, it can easily be omitted to keep with a more traditional flavor. My local Whole Foods market sells crystallized ginger in bulk, which is great, because you can buy exactly as much as you need for your recipe.
Toffee Sauce
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup demerara or muscovado sugar (brown sugar), found in specialty stores
2 1/2 tablespoons golden syrup (found in specialty stores or British food stores) or molasses
pinch of salt
6 oz. dates, pitted and chopped
1 cup water
1 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup candied ginger, chopped - optional
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350degrees. and butter an
- 8 inch porcelain souffle dish. Make toffee sauce by bringing cream, dermerara sugar, golden syrup (or molasses), and salt to a boil, stirring often to melt sugar.
- Lower heat and simmer, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick and coats the spoon. Pour half the sauce into the prepared souffle dish and place the dish in the freezer. Reserve the other half of the sauce for serving.
- To make the pudding, in a medium sauce pan heat the dates and water. Once the water begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. If using, add ginger, set aside, but keep slightly warm.
- In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With a mixer beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla. Mixture may look a bit curdled.
- Stir in flour and date mixture alternately until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Remove souffle dish from freezer and and pour batter into the dish. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Cut cake into portions and serve with warm toffee sauce. Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream are delicious accompaniments.
To make the pudding in advance, bake the cake without the toffee sauce on the bottom. Cover cooled cake until serving time. Poke the cake with a wooden skewer and distribute half of the sauce over the top. Cover with foil and reheat for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Stepped out of home and didn't realize the rain was so strong! Seemed like a mini storm out there – thrashing rain and wind. Unable to hold the umbrella open, i ran to the temple as fast as i could. Full drenched now, changing shoes with someone else's and gathering few devotees, took the tram to city to help setup the evening kirtan night program. Got there and helped put it all up and ready to welcome the guests. Then i was told if i could open the night for all. Gathering up some strength, thoughts and words, i said a few things over the microphone welcoming everyone. I could have done better i think but what to do now? Anyways, the kirtans have started and everyone is absolutely relaxed and meditative. Me too.

How's My Driving?
The other day I was on the phone with Megan and she asked me how my program of weaning off Lexapro, prescribed by Dr. Marin Robespierre based on information gathered on Yahoo message boards, was going. I told her it was going great - I was carving up my pills into 7 milligrams and only had slight dizziness and some headaches but otherwise it was full speed ahead toward the ultimate goal of getting off medication and resuming my normal debilitating depression.
Megan then asked me if I defined "going great" as meaning spending $190 on a black floppy hat, $167 on silver pointy toe shoes, $298 on a sextacular khaki dress with a blue sash for a life I don't lead and that is legitimately appropriate for no occasion, getting a manicure and pedicure, a $54 waxxxing, opening up a new credit card, bidding on 3 items on Ebay, buying a deck of tarot cards, threatening to get another dog, threatening to throw a sprinkler party in a public park, baking brownies, eating one and then throwing the rest out and crying uncontrollably during Wall-E and having to leave the theater early, and I confirmed that I did.

Spend the Night is the fifth studio album and major label debut by The Donnas, released in 2002 on Atlantic Records. It was the band's first charting record on the Billboard Hot 200, peaking at #62, and features their most successful single, "Take It Off", which peaked at #19 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. By this album you can really hear them evolving from their "what if the Ramones were chicks" vibe into a really cohesive hard rock band.
As for news about their next release, The Donnas announced on May 6 their newest project 'The Donnas: Greatest Hits, Vol 16', which is set for release on July 7, 2009. The album will be released on the bands own Purple Feather Records. The package will contain newly recorded older songs, as well as B-sides, never before released material and some new songs. The band will join Blondie & Pat Benatar for a summer tour starting in July 2009 in support of the release. Drummer Torry Castellano will not play on any of the summer tour dates as she is having shoulder problems. The Donnas have chosen long time friend Amy of The Demonics to fill in for Torry on tour. A track list was announced via The Donnas Myspace page on May 7, 2009, as follows:

Everton will take on Norwich City in the Premier League this afternoon.
Roberto Martinez has wished Everton via the League Managers Association's official website the best of luck for today's match against Norwich City.
Everton will take on Norwich at Goodison Park in what is their last Premier League game of the season.
Martinez will not be in charge of the match, as he parted company with the Toffees on Thursday. The Spaniard hopes that the Merseyside outfit pick up all three points from the encounter.
The former Wigan Athletic boss has also wished departing Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard the best of luck for his future.
The 37-year-old former Manchester United custodian will leave the Merseyside outfit in the summer to join Major League Soccer outfit Colorado Rapids.
"I appreciate that over the last eight weeks our league results haven't been up to the levels that we would expect," Martinez wrote on the League Managers Association's official website. "However, over the past three years the support the fans have given to me and the team has been inspiring.
"I know that the team and the fans will react well against Norwich today and I wish everyone the best of luck for 3 points which would match last season's League points tally.
"Finally I would like to congratulate Tim Howard on his outstanding contribution and career at the club. Tim has been an incredible ambassador for Everton and I wish him well for his future in the MLS."
Everton have had a disappointing season and are set to finish outside the top 10 of the Premier League.
Martinez is a good manager, but the Toffees struggled defensively and conceded far too many goals.
Hopefully for the Spaniard, he will find a new managerial job, and hopefully that will be in the Premier League.

Outside spending by political action committees, or PACs, is one way to gauge the race's national importance. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that only five other campaign races have accumulated more outside spending than Indiana's senate contest. The presidential race is among them.
Senate retirements have left four open seats, enough to create a majority if they're taken by Republicans.
"It's entirely a matter of being able to gain control of the Senate," said Gerald Wright, professor of political science.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has contributed $485,123 against Republican State Treasurer Richard Mourdock and $25,065 for Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-2nd District.
The same report shows the National Republican Senatorial Committee has so far contributed $713,459 against Donnelly and $16,757 for Mourdock.
Federal regulations prohibit PACs from coordinating with a campaign. Instead, they throw money into promoting a candidate or speaking out against a candidate's opponent.
Mike Wolf, professor of political science at IU-Purdue University Fort Wayne, said outside spending can impact the tone of a campaign.
"It allows the campaign to run their own positive message while others can take on some of the negatives of the opponent," Wolf said.
In Indiana, much of that campaigning has come in the form of television advertisements.
The DSCC's ad against Mourdock asks, "Do we really want a senator who would inflict his radical ideas on all of us?"
Similarly, the NRSC's ad against Donnelly addresses the Congressman's support of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and flashes the message "You can run for Senate, but you can't run from your record."
Wright said the presence of national PACs in the money race, including the DSCC, indicates the race is still up in the air.
"The Democrats aren't flush with tons and tons of money," Wright said. "If they didn't think there was a real possibility, they wouldn't be doing it."
Mourdock edged out Senior Sen. Richard Lugar for the Republican nomination in May. That, Wright said, created a close race. Bi-partisan poll data hasn't been released since early August, when Rasmussen reported Mourdock a narrow two points ahead of Donnelly. Outside spending could change the race, Wright said.
The Center for Responsive Politics shows the only PAC contributing more to the race than the NRSC is the conservative Club for Growth Action "SuperPAC," which has weighed in with $2,258,114 in support of Mourdock or against Donnelly.
"Outside groups come in because they want to kill the person," Wright said. "They want to slaughter them. They will say anything. They don't worry about their reputation. They're anonymous to voters, they're not accountable."
Robert Maguire, an outside spending researcher at the Center for Responsive Politics, said promise of anonymity has significantly changed the way candidates are perceived and displayed.
While PACs are required by federal regulations to list donors, 501c organizations are not. A 501c can, in turn, donate money to a PAC.
In the last week, the Crossroads GPS 501c organization made $965,949 in TV/Media Production or TV/Media Placement expenditures in the race.
"The SuperPAC is reporting as its donor an organization that doesn't have to report its donors," Maguire said.

Fairy dust in a makeup palette!
If you think you love Disney, move aside because you're not nearly as big of a fan as Promise Tamang Phan.
The Nepal-based YouTube makeup artist loves herself some House of
Mouse—so much so that she's made herself up to look like more than 20 of
her cartoon favorites!
PHOTOS: Us editors' spring 2015 beauty picks
With expert makeup application, Phan, known as dope2111 on YouTube, has transformed into everyone from Frozen's Queen Elsa to nearly every character from Mulan (boys included!). Scroll down to see her five best Mickey-approved makeovers.

porcelain-hued foundation, raspberry gloss, lavender shadows, and, yes,
the platinum braid, Phan transformed into the Snow Queen.
"Elsa's probably my favorite Disney character that I created," Phan
told Us Weekly—and not just because of the dewy makeup. "The wintry set
was so much fun to make! I also enjoyed putting her costume together;
the sequin corset took me almost three hours to make."
2. Snow White from Snow White

scars on her face.

cheeks, and freckles to become Rapunzel, she also created her little
chameleon sidekick, too. The Disney super-fan told Us that her go-to
makeup brands for these tutorials are NYX Cosmetics, Too Faced, and Anastasia Beverly Hills (for brows to match each princess).

brows, and the perfect cat-eye. "To get a good cat-eye, you need a good
liner," the makeup artist told Us, who suggests using a pen-type liner
for the most control.

"Start by applying the liner at the inner corner of your eye and
slowly trace the line of your lid to the outer corner," she explained.
"Once you hit the outer corner, do a simple flick. To get it just so,
outline your line first, then go back and fill it in."
5. Mulan and Shang from Mulan
Not just Mulan! Promise Tamang Phan transformed herself into the warrior's love interest, Shang, too.

also became Mulan's mom, grandmother, and love interest, Shang, too.
"Boy characters are more challenging, since I have to make my features
more 'manly,'" she admitted. "I want to make sure they look as natural
on me as the female characters."
Next up will be Cinderella! To see all of Phan's Disney transformations, check out her YouTube channel here.

Breastfeeding and Weight Loss
Well now I'm breastfeeding myself, and I swear that at least today, you probably wouldn't think I'd even been pregnant. I feel like I get a bit skinnier every day. Now, I don't actually have any confirmation of this, not having a scale, though I have plans to bust out my pre-pregnancy clothes any day now. I'd like to get some exercise, but I don't have any time for that, what with the running back and forth between the hospital and home.
The whole easy weight loss thing will probably change some once she gets home and I can, as Angelina said, "get my nutrition back on track," but for now it's kind of funny. I've always had a tendency to put on weight easily. Now it's melting off.
3 comments:
Don't be surprised if your pants don't fit quite right yet you are your pre-pregnancy weight. I've found that despite having lost all the weight I still don't fit my pants. For you this will probably be less of an issue, I'm imagining. But I think it is at least partially due (in the beginning) to your hips not having gone back in place. And they never really will go all the way back now that you've had a baby. I've also acquired quite a bit extra abdominal fat, which makes me wonder where I lost weight elsewhere to have evened out. Hopefully I'll work it off once the weather turns and I can go outdoors on walks with Ev. But I digress..ReplyDelete
Oh, don't forget Angelina had two babies sucking at her teetas so she probably had the metabolism of a race horse while breastfeeding. *grin*
I have the feeling that breastfeeding is where the concept of "sucking the life out of" someone came from. Because, basically, that's what it is. You're taking your basic life-building blocks, and making them into food for someone else.ReplyDelete
If that doesn't make you lose weight, I don't know what will.
Audrey: I'm actually more interested in the shirts right now. I'm totally living in black sweat pants that look like they could be regular pants because, hey, I'm not going anywhere any time soon! I think my hips are definitely wider, but my belly is almost entirely gone, which is kind of weird. The chicks I saw in the hospital who went full term totally had these pouches left over and I don't have that.ReplyDelete
JRM: That's why I'm drinking hellsa much fluid. As far as eating the recommended 2500 calories goes, that I'm not so good at unless it's nibbles of chocolate or the occasional milk shake. Seriously, as a vegetarian with a taste for raw fruits and veggies, it ain't easy to eat that many calories!

I am Panzer Kumar a professional copywriter with a passion for blogging, Search Engine Optimization and other marketing trends. I love hell lot of things apart from my profession, to name a few my interest in History and Love for PC games are rivaled by nothing else. To me these things provide me with a nice change of pace from my regular labor. To say more about me, i am a dedicated lover and believer in Democracy and a supporter of Capitalism, having said that i hate communism from my core and you could call me an Anti-communist.I respect every religion, but follow none, but "i wont say there is no god, but there is no need for god". I believe humans can live by themselves and its we humans who created the God and so the opposite is just a myth. I believe in fellow humans(friends & foes) and my own skills for each and every task i have at hand. If i fail i accept the failure and work hard to find and patch the issues rather than blaming god or fortune. On the other hand i will thank my mother, sister and friends who played their part on my success.
This blog was started not with any reason but out of passion, but i am sure you will find some thing to your liking and interest. On the other hand don't expect this to be professional as this is my personal blog and i will write about anything i wish. Thanks for reading something about me.

Ultraviolet light from a quasar (in the red circle) causes hydrogen gas in dark galaxies (blue circles) to fluoresce. ESO/Digitized Sky Survey 2/S. Cantalupo (UCSC)
First Evidence Of 'Dark Galaxies' Discovered -- The Telegraph
Astronomers in Chile have observed what appears to be evidence of the existence of dark galaxies, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) announced on Wednesday.
Dark galaxies are small, gas-rich galaxies from the early universe that are believed to be the building blocks of today's bright, star-filled galaxies, said the ESO, an intergovernmental organisation supported by 15 countries.
"For the first time, dark galaxies – an early phase of galaxy formation, predicted by theory but unobserved until now – may have been spotted," the ESO said in a statement.
"Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, an international team thinks they have detected these elusive objects by observing them glowing as they are illuminated by a quasar," it said.

Our partner Kenya Connect recently posted an essay written by Anthony Musyoka Ngao, a bright young man who is staying in school and pursuing his dream of becoming an actor with help from The School Fund community. This post originally appeared at Kenya Connect's blog.
The first year I joined Wamunyu Primary School in 2006 was the same year I came to know about Kenya Connect. Just like any other new kid in school, I was very keen to explore my school and I recall quite well that was when our old and cracked classroom was renovated and given a new facelift. The dusty floor that had given me a cold for months and the open windows that were killing us in the cold were at last fixed! The school staff room and the head teacher's offices were renovated too. I later came to know that the people behind this good work were Kenya Connect. I learned that Kenya Connect had partnered our school with a school in America called Mt. View Middle school and that the students in our sister school were raising money to rebuild our school. I was very happy to have joined this school. At the same time, I learned that the students in our upper school were actually paired with pen pals from our sister school, Mt. View MS and were exchanging letters. I was sad that I did not have a pen pal, since I did not know how to read and write well. I promised myself that I would work very hard to know how to write so that one day I could have my own pen pal to write to. Day after day, I worked hard in class to be the best student. My hard work paid off because I remember I was always the top student in class. This gave me a lot of confidence. I was even appointed class prefect and I begun acting and leading songs in my class performances. I loved singing and acting but then the confidence I earned in class work even boosted this more and more.
Years moved on quickly and in 2009, I was promoted to standard four, the grade that was exchanging pen pal letters. Wow! My dream finally came true when I wrote my first letter and my pen pal wrote back! This was an amazing experience to talk to someone continents apart. We continued to exchange letters for the next two years. I learned a lot from my pen pal. Though our cultures were different, we still shared a lot in common. I will forever remain grateful for this letter exchange experience. By the time I finished my primary school, our school had benefited a lot from Kenya Connect programs. All the classrooms were now renovated and a water tank was built to provide clean drinking water for the entire school. A hand washing station was also built for us to wash our hands and a de-worming program had been started with all children in my school getting de-worming medicine four times a year! I was sad to leave Wamunyu ABC when I completed standard eight but at the same time I was excited to join a new secondary school. Although, I knew I had to leave and move on to secondary school, one thing was for sure. I would miss the services of Kenya Connect!
As fate would have it, on my final year in primary school, my father who is the sole income earner in my family, had an accident that injured his leg making him unable to work. My dream of joining secondary school was shattered. However, every cloud has its silver lining; lo and behold this fateful event led me to another front of Kenya Connect: their connection with The School Fund!
Through The School Fund, Kenya Connect is providing scholarship for needy and top-performing students in secondary school. After presenting my need, I was lucky to be selected as a beneficiary of this program and that is how I ended up joining my new school- Kitondo secondary school. I feel very happy and most blessed to continue with my education through the support of Kenya Connect. I am even excited to have my profile online to be able to journal with friends and supporters. I am very happy that some of the teachers and guests who visited my former primary school through Kenya Connect visits and loved my performance are now supporting me in my education. Thank you friends for your support. Asante sana. My dream is to be a professional actor and am grateful to everyone who is supporting me make my dream true.

The Story of Our House
We bought this house on just about 2 acres in a rural area about 11 months ago. It had sat on the market for almost a year, untouched. The realtor told us people were turned off by its sheer size and maze of rooms. At the time, we owned a craftsman bungalow that we loved but we were always on the lookout for a home outside the city for our growing family and dreams. Our requirements were that it had to fit our family, have some land, be in our price range, and not need major work. So this house fit the first three requirements. It needs a lot of work!
Sean showed me a blurry computer printout photo with the description and I gasped. The house was ghetto blue. "I cannot live in a house THAT color! Do you know how much paint it would take to repaint it?"
He convinced me to see it.
Turns out the computer photo was off and the house was more of a colonial blue. Not a great color, but better.
I wish I had taken a photo of the first room as it was when we walked into. It was large and the floor was covered in green outdoor carpeting, the walls were (still are) dark red and the trim (still is) gold. This one room had five doors leading in different directions. It was also unheated.
The rest of the house showed a bit better. Ages of wallpaper painted over, a new kitchen that didn't fit the house, bubblegum, dark purple and turquoise colored rooms. A Mary blue bathroom (so called out of the utmost respect for my sweet Catholic Grandma who loves this particular shade of blue - the shade of most icon Mary's gown). A foot of water in the basement. No downstairs bath. Patriotic borders and rooms in every shade of camouflage green. Wooden molding hung at different heights. Wainscoting hung to chin height. Half the house unheated. Chip board ceilings. I really could go on here but you get the idea. It was not glamorous.
So why did we buy?The 200+ year old hand built foundation is solid. The home has beautiful character once you look past the obscenities that other humans bestowed upon her. The land is great and surrounded by farm fields. The water in the basement was just because of an unplugged sump pump, of which this city girl had never heard of. This house has wonderful potential. We bought it for $130,000 when single ranches down the road were going for more. Hopefully, once we fix it up and make her beautiful again, we can sell (gulp!) for twice as much and fund our next life in Germany. It was a strategic plan. It is kind of our thing, this pouring love and life into homes and then using them to finance the next move.
While I am trying to avoid posting photos of the exterior of our home for safety's sake (we do have a big dog and lots of guns here.. wink, wink. No, honestly, we do...) here are some photos in the style of our home. Our home was built as a center hall Georgian Colonial.
A Georgian colonial is characterized by five over four windows. Our home has a six room wing off on one side and an attached garage. Two of the rooms in this wing are the original portion of the house dating from 1791. As was typical of the era, folks would build a few main rooms and live in them while they built the rest of the home.We do have chimneys on either side of the house, as in these sample photos. One is in use now and holds our wood stove, the other is walled in and we cannot wait to unearth it! At some time a small front porch was added on that really doesn't fit the home. It is rotted and needs to be torn down this spring. We're thinking of putting a basic stone/cement stoop as in theses three photos.
So welcome to Cultivating this Old House!

Mr. Kittles was the pet cat of Master Hugh Kane who lived in the Hell House. He is a minor villain in Scary Movie 2.
He has met Cindy Campbell many times while she was staying in the house, but his biggest scene was when he became possessed by the ghost of Hugh Kane and attacked Cindy, for thinking she was Caroline, and also for pooping in his litter box. It is unknown what happened to him after the movie.

Monday +75 (8:00 PM) Third Update
We just received a call this evening from the transplant center and Jackie's CMV test today was once again negative. This is very good news and increases the odds she will head home soon.
Blog for Jackie Sue while at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. UPDATED. This blog now covers her progress after her mini-allo MUD transplant. Her transplant was the first one to be performed by the Mayo Clinic.
We just received a call this evening from the transplant center and Jackie's CMV test today was once again negative. This is very good news and increases the odds she will head home soon.
Bruce, I think we all understand why you blogged the precautions. I know you are trying to protect her and appreicate that. If she can go thru what she has we can do our part by being very careful. So you go Bruce! Looking forward to both you getting to come home. You have done a great job. Thanks again for the updates. Chloe can stay at Nan`s house until all is well.Nan
I agree the blog was not harsh. It is necessary. I am sorry that you guys won't be coming home for a while. I am proud that you are taking such good care of Jackie. Tell her we are still praying. We love you both.
Bruce, good for you for laying it all out. You should NOT be worried about being too harsh. Dont take any chances. Still praying and reading the blog daily.
Jackie: I'm so sorry the trip home has been put off for awhile but it will happen, hopefully soon, but it will.
Bruce: If you think your rules are strict, they are NOT. This is just plain reality and that's how it has to be. Even if a person is feeling fine, think about how many people you come into contact with each day. You have no idea what kind of germs can be passed from one to another with no knowledge of it. Strict rules, I think not.
I love you both and can't wait until you come home.
Thanks for filling us in on what to be careful of when Jackie comes home. Looks like that might be soon. These are things we need to know, and if you don't tell us, who will?
Nobody minds the restrictions; everyone will just be happy to have her home. What you didn't mention, but probably should, is that she will need some time to rest, recuperate, and just enjoy being home again.
So Jackie, when you get home, please harden yourself to JUST SAY NO when you don't feel like having company around - even if we are really fun people who are not sneezing, coughing or a health risk. We will understand. On the other hand, please DO tell us if you feel the need for some company, or some help. We'll be there.
Keeping our fingers crossed on the tests!
Bruce, you being too forward?! Never! How are family and friends to totally understand the WHOLE situation if SOMEONE doesn't inform them?! Jackie girl, you just keep those good numbers coming and you will be home before you know it.
God Bless and Take Care.
Great News! We are so looking forward to the both of you being home. We know that you both are so ready. Just having You guys in Oklahoma will feel like we are visting you. Thanks for giving us the heads up on all the safety things that we needed to know. You have been great with all the information. Keep it coming. Love ya both.

As the 100th day of the Trump Presidency approaches, it strikes me at just how openly partisan our mainstream media has become, and how foolish at least 50% of our electorate is for believing so much of what is broadcast.
"President Trump has Record Low Approval after 100 Days" crows the media; as if the 9:1 ration of negative articles vs. positive articles did not have anything to do with it.
To the non-critical thinkers out there, I invoke the spirit of Andy Rooney by asking "You ever wonder why the mainstream media opposition of President Trump is so fierce"?
What's wrong with putting America first, I ask you? If you have locks on your doors, why are you against putting a lock on the door of our country? If you have a job, what's wrong with protecting that job by not allowing it to be outsourced? Are you seriously going to place unproven acts of misogyny or racism against President above the interests of our country?
Granted, over the past twenty years the average American family has saved about $10,000.00 per year by ignoring our Trade Deficit while making the top 1% even wealthier in the process......Duh, what, you didn't think that could go on forever without consequences did you? National deficits, factories closing, reduced & stagnant wages and rampant underemployment are the bill coming due for our savings from Chinese child labor. Oh and by the way, congratulations to us all on the creation of a new world superpower in Communist China at the price of saving a few bucks on our stuff.
So I'm thinking that Nero guy that fiddled while Rome burned is no different that at least 50% of the American electorate. My guess is that about another 5% on the extreme left and 5% extreme right representing the disproportionately loud party base divide the rest of us by controlling their party on key social issues. This leaves about 40% in the center comprised of both parties that still give a damn about their future and the future of the Country.
It is time for the President to stop trying to play the game the way it has been stacked by crocodile politicians that are fat & happy in their Washington DC swamp. We need a third party to drain the proverbial swamp and by shaking up the nature of two-party political corruption. A third party focused on America First. A third party that refuses to engage in the war of social issues, whether LGTB bathrooms or Abortion. A third party of the People that our forefathers would recognize and be proud of.
Trump's got enemies on both sides, as Jimmy Buffett sang "fins to the right, fins to the left." At the same time the neocons are taking control.
A chunk of Trump voters saw him as either as the last desperate chance or marginally better than a career politician out for herself and her rich friends. These voters are now saying second verse, same as the first. Hope and change went nowhere as well as Make America Great Again.
The problem is that bringing 3rd parties into national office will take a good 8 years. Economically this country doesn't have 8 years. Student loan debt is in the same position as subprime mortgage debt in 2007. Subprime auto loans are imploding. Americans are more indebted now than in 2008. Real unemployment runs rampant not to mention gross underemployment. Wall Street is back into casino banking on a grander scale. Americans are now more broke. The stock market has no reality to earnings. The Fed is manipulating markets to make all seem well. If this doesn't scream economic meltdown I don't know what does. And what will happen next time? Will there be trillions and trillions of bailouts?
There is a reason that China and Russia are hording gold. Or that billionaires are building reclusive homes on far away uninhabited islands. Or that real estate flippers are again in business. When the bubble bursts half see and profit from the impending doom and the other half get smashed. It happened in the 1880s, 1907l, 1929, 2008 and will happen again.
Richard, I really like your statement "Serious thinkers examine their assumptions and try to determine root causes of processes." This is a statement that pins the best motivations on the human race to seek to do the right thing, with the uglier aspects of human nature stripped out. Also agreed the situation is extremely complicated. From drugs rushing over the border, to Colin Kaepernick being allowed to take a knee during the National Anthem, to facilitating the creation financial "musical chairs" over and over again by our government that leave the voter sitting on their butts paying for market bubbles popping, our tribe is obviously fragmented and broken.
Our actions are dictated by filters that helped us survive as a species for millions of years. These include the survival traits of jealousy, greed, envy, lust, etc. in addition to altruism. This is why any successful governmental system eventually fails.....human nature to take just a little bit more on an individual level eventually topples all governments when the division of wealth and power becomes too great.
One way or the other, we're headed for big change as a country. The establishment of a third party would be ugly, and take 8 or more years to materialize and for the dust to settle as George suggests. However, it may beat the alternative of widespread economic revolt or a descent into fascism.
The time frame for the corruption of your ballyhooed third party by corporate interests would be in the nano-second spectrum. Look how fast they got to Trump.
Most revolts of the people in response to a disproportionate concentration of wealth in a few hands at the expense of the populace throughout history have been minimized by those in power........ until the revolt actually occurs, that is. Electing Trump was not the destination, but one more step in the journey of taxpayer revolt that started with Perot, led to the Tea Party and then elected Trump.
What's next will come in our 11th hour as a country....a small chance to pull back from the abyss greed has created in governing systems throughout history....but a chance nonetheless (no matter how naieve' you may think it is).
Had you not reacted to one comment and had instead done a little research you'd have saved yourself the embarrassment of deeming me possessing a ruling class perspective. Rather, you'd have found I'm the furthest thing from ruling class on WB.
No, you'd realize that I hold all things DUHmerican in utter contempt especially the ruling class and their political pets. That I recognize they will corrupt a third party just as they have all so-called parties whether in DUHmerica or elsewhere far from sanctions their despicable behavior.
Furthermore, I recognize your point is moot because the imminent start WW3 will end any need for any number of parties anywhere.
Instead of rearranging the deck chairs on the sinking ship grab an adult beverage, a lovely, a comfortable place to recline and enjoy the show. Don't forget your 10,000SPF!
Have a great day!
You ever wonder why the mainstream media opposition of President Trump is so fierce?
No. With the exception of Fox News the mainstream media has proven itself to be liberals time and time again. The Candy Crowley takedown of Mitt Romney is my favorite piece of evidence but there are obviously many more.
What's wrong with putting America first, I ask you?
That's merely a slogan, I judge all politicians by their actions. However, I will concede that liberals don't have nearly as high regard for America as Conservatives.
If you have locks on your doors, why are you against putting a lock on the door of our country?
Much like locks on a door can be easily broken or circumvented via a window or something, the same is true for a border wall.
If you have a job, what's wrong with protecting that job by not allowing it to be outsourced?
Outsourcing is an important element of job security here in America. For example, if Apple was required to use only American labor it wouldn't exist in America.
Are you seriously going to place unproven acts of misogyny or racism against President above the interests of our country?
Character is an important component of who should serve as POTUS. The problem for liberals is that they are attacking his character without much by way of evidence. All I can say is thank God Trump is a Republican, otherwise Hillary with the help of the media would have easily defeated whoever ran on the Republican ticket.
I submit to you America First is more than a slogan when applies to the Trade Deficit. I recall about 25 years ago, the Trade Deficit was something politicians often spoke of......then big money in the form of campaign contributions started coming from companies that located manufacturing overseas. Walmart is the poster child of this dynamic. As far as Apple goes....they should not exist in their current form in my opinion.. Apple sales primarily support a Communist Government, and they pay little or no US corporate tax. I simply don't buy the concept that innovation relies on providing the American consumer with cheaper, foreign made goods that benefit our geopolitical rivals financially. So we have two obsolete Smart Phones in our drawers at home instead of four as a result of Fair Trade.....is it really hurting Americans to require taxes be paid by companies that have access to the American consumer? Not when you consider the US deficit bill we all owe.............
Of course, I wish Character were taken more seriously by the electorate. Sleaze and politics are unfortunately synonymous in American politics. Character matters only so far as character assassination works against your opponent. But I also agree with you, character is important in POTUS....its ironic that Trump probably has 100 times the character of H. Clinton, yet he's painted as an out of control sociopathic monster by the media. I don't dispute that Trumps attitudes towards procreation are probaby stereotypical of Type A males......however he shares this attitude with many politicians including Presidents Clinton and Kennedy. Objectification and a desire to procreate with women is part of our caveman DNA as much as we would like to believe we have evolved beyond this......I care more about what Trump can do for the economy than I do about his sex life. Perhaps that makes me a caveman too.
All Presidents that get most of their agenda through (whether you agree with the agenda or not) tack center because that is where the negotiations end up.
Norton I agree that if America is ever to again have a decent standard of living we are going to have to accept more expensive merchandise. Maybe not trade the IPhone in every time a new model comes out. Or a new laptop or tablet every two years.
Let's shelve the debate over slogans and trade for another day.
And this believe is not a fluke. Since 2010 the Democrats have been loosing seats in state and federal legislatures and governorships. We have the most Republic states then ever before. Democrats lost the house in 2010. The GOP candidates promised to repeal ACA, Obamacare. When elected did not use the power of the purse to keep their promises to the voters. They payed for ALL OF OBAMA'S PROGRAMS AND EXECUTIVE ACTIONS AND NON-ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL LAW. So they lied.
But in 2012 even more seats were lost. The candidate the GOP put against a sitting president was the Governor that signed into law ACA of his state, Romneycare. The voters show disapproval by given Obama a second term. This clearly indicates that the peak disapproval of ACA 63% in poles is real.
In 2014 the Democrats lost enough seats to loose the Senate. And again they put a show bill to repeal Obamacare on Obama's desk. For 6 years the GOP candidate ran on repealing Obamacare which can be summarized by the campaign words of the new Senate leader Mitch McConnell 'ROOT AND BRANCH REPEAL OF ACA,' but they continued to pay for the Obama administration including Obamacare. They refused to use the tools provide, purse strings. I provided this history to show that in effect we have two factions in congress that agree with the direction of government but only have different tactics.
Tea party, GOP conservative branch and a few other groups oppose the move toward socialism/marxism. For in the end as we see in Venezuela socialism turns to a totalitarian government, communism. The GOP has been ruthless in trying to extinguish the Conservative wing. The tactics they would not consider using against Democrats they freely apply to the conservative wing of their party.
A similar situation existed in the 1850's. The result was a new party, Republican started in Wisconsin. It took many middle term seats from the Whig party and by the next 1860 election four parties had candidates for the president: Whigs, Republicans, Northern Democrats and Southern Democrats. Lincoln swept the field as the Republican candidate. But all of the parties took at least one state. The Whig controlling wing, a faction, like the present GOP faction, agreed with the Democrats on critical issues that fostered crony capitalism. The opposition wing in the Whig and today GOP followed the principles stated in the Declaration of Independence. They believe that the Constitution is the law of the land and written to support every word in the Declaration of Independence.
I think we need have a new party of Lincoln and the starting effort has begun. One would never expect that Illinois house would have about equal Democrat and Republican sponsors for a Convention of States. The founders realized that state will act in their own best interest. Being a VASSAL of the Federal government is not in the interest of a Democratic party state like Illinois. That is why two days before the end of the convention that drafted the Constitution George Mason proposed added an amendment drafting process to circumvent congress. Federalism, the reason for having a senate, shows that the founder understood that colonies and then states would act in their best interests. Repeal of the 17th amendment will make the senator's responsible to their state legislature the repeal will fix the problem of a dead locked legislature by the governor appointing the senator if the legislature does not fill the post in a time period.
Another amendment that maybe discussed is to put Federalism into the Judicial branch by a supermajority repealing their decisions. Many other amendments we all have heard over the years would also be considered. But remember in the end an Article 5 state drafted Amendment does not change or alter the requirement for approval of any amendment. So a run away State Constitutional Amendment Convention can not run away.
Romney was lying. What was she supposed to do, just stand there and ignore it after he made such a fuss over it?
"I heard the president's speech at the time. I re-read a lot of stuff about Libya because I knew we'd probably get a Libya question," Crowley told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"We knew that the president had said, 'These acts of terrors won't stand,' or whatever the whole quote was. I think, actually, you know, because right after that, I did turn around and say [to Gov. Romney], 'but you're totally correct … they spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape and that there was this, you know, riot outside the Benghazi consulate, which there wasn't.' So [Gov. Romney] was right in the main. I just think he picked the wrong word."
It is the moderator's job to moderate, not become a third party to the debate. The fact that Crowley had to "rescue" Obama on this point and debate Romney herself is an embarrassment to journalism.
Get your facts straight man! The media is for the most part a tool of corruption and liberalism - terms that are becoming increasingly synnomous.
ROMNEY: I -- I think interesting the president just said something which -- which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror.
OBAMA: That's what I said.
ROMNEY: You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you're saying?
OBAMA: Please proceed governor.
ROMNEY: I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.
OBAMA: Get the transcript.
CROWLEY: It -- it -- it -- he did in fact, sir. So let me -- let me call it an act of terror...
OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy?
CROWLEY: He -- he did call it an act of terror.
Obama, in fact, called the attack an act of terror three times in the first two days after it happened.
My point to you was to answer your question about "what was Crowely to do while Romney told a lie?". Romney may have been an idiot in this situation but even Crowley says he was not lying, which makes the underlying premise of your question incorrect. The facts are that It was Obama that lied about the event in general ( in spite of a lawyerly parsing of the word "terror" three times), not Romney. This is what I mean by getting your facts straight before calling someone a liar.
This is an example of the worst of politics. Obama and his administration out and out lied about Benghazi to the American people, yet somehow Romney gets he blame.
This was a popular--and transparently false--dichotomy advanced by the Benghazi scandal-pimps, that the attack must either be an act of terror or inspired by the YouTube vid. It can be both and apparently was both, though the intel community, which explained it to the administration as being in retaliation for the vid, backed away from that explanation after about 2 weeks. The suspected ringleader apprehended and, at last I heard, awaiting trial has reportedly confirmed the attack was in retaliation for the vid. In any event, the public comments of the administration directly reflected what the intel community was telling them in private. The nut-right roasted Susan Rice for making the rounds on the Sunday news shows repeating almost word-for-word what the IC had given her in a brief.
Crowley's motives for her sort-of retraction are her own and don't really interest me. The fact that Romney was directly and flatly lying about the incident isn't open to being "interpreted" away. Crowley never called him a liar, which would have been the truth. She merely corrected his falsehood.
My personal theory is that the Whitehouse played the telephone game with the original assessment from Intel on Benghazi until it became a movie. Then Obama dropped the affair scandal on Petraeus when it looked like he would not go along with the revised version. We'll probably never know the full truth.
However apooogies to all for getting off Topic.
A trade deficit increases the countries wealth. A trade surplus means wealth is flowing out of the country.
Border tax which is just a type of tariff is a tax like sales tax that is added to the price paid for the goods. We pay in the manufactures finds less of a demand.
Just as with anything, imbalance is bad. The US has too much debt, and as it reaches about 24 Trillion, this debt imbalance will begin impacting our ability to borrow, which will cascade into unintended consequences for the US and world economy.
I find it both humorous and ironic that as a non- US citizen (based on your comments) you are advocating positions like outsourcing, debt, etc. that are helpful to other countries while hurting the US.
Thank you for your input, however, under Trump we'll increasingly do what's best for most of the citizenry of our country.
The investments of that foreign money helps pay for the higher productivity which keeps high paying jobs in the country. But again even these jobs are at risk of being lost due to the cost added by government.
Put the blame where it belongs. Adam Smith accurately defines it.
"Adam Smith key insight was that both parties to an exchange can benefit and that, so long as cooperation is strictly voluntary, no exchange will take place unless both parties do benefit. ... Adam Smith put it, an individual who "intends only his own gain" is led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good." ... "an individual who intends only to serve the public interest by fostering government intervention is "led by an invisible hand to promote" private interest, "which was no part of his intention." " Ref: "Free to Choose" Milton & Rose Friedman 1979 Introduction
As you can see Adam Smith would put the blame on Government since taxes and regulations is an action of fostering government intervention.

General practice
Over half of practices would close lists temporarily
More than half (1005; 54%) of 1870 general practices responding to a BMA survey were prepared to temporarily close their lists to new patients, and two fifths (822; 44%) would be prepared to close them permanently. The survey followed a motion passed at the annual conference of local medical committees demanding that their leaders ballot the profession on the potential mass closure of practice lists in response to the crisis facing general practice.

MDDUS announces price freeze for GPs
The Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland (MDDUS) announced that it is freezing the cost of indemnity for GPs until at least 2018, after the UK government's U turn on changes to how the personal injury discount rate is calculated. The government had initially slashed the discount rate in March from 2.5% to –0.75%, causing the NHS compensation bill to soar, but it will now revise its approach to assume investment in a low risk diversified portfolio, which should produce a higher return. The lord chancellor will set the discount rate for England and Wales every three years.
Digital health
App to access NHS services should be available from 2018
All patients in England should be able to access their medical records and book a GP appointment through an integrated app by the end of 2018, said the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt. Speaking at the NHS Health and Care Innovation Expo in Manchester, Hunt said that patients should also be able to access NHS 111 and support for long term conditions, order repeat prescriptions, and express their organ donation …

It's not always possible to explain the meaning of a suffix. It's more important to know what function is has (ie, to change an adjective ' happy' to an abstract noun ' happiness'.)
'-ful' as a suffix originates from 'full', as in beautiful = full of beauty. However, as you can see from the example you give, this doesn't work for many of the words that now can be formed with 'ful' (Full of grates? I don't think so!) So here, the only clue you can give your students is to explain that it's an adjective ending. All words ending in 'ful' are adjectives.
'-ness' is an abstract noun ending.
