This is the problem with the early census records -
Facts you should know about the early census records –
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.
NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume "white"]
1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.
Step children are not enumerated as "step" children
Adopted children are not enumerated as "adopted"
Grand children are not enumerated as "grand children"
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"
1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members
1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++
1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.
Step children are not enumerated as "step" children
Adopted children are not enumerated as "adopted"
Grand children are not enumerated as "grand children"
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

Lynette and I stamped together at her house on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
For the end cards, using brown cardstock for the base, we cut 3 strips of printed papers 1-1/8" wide 5-1/4" long. We stamped Tim Holtz mini blueprints Christmas tree and toy soldier stamps twice, once on plain paper and the 2nd time using printed papers for the toy soldier and book print scraps for the trees. We fussy cut those. I used dimensional foam to attach. Lynette used double sided tape. We embellished the top layer with stickles. We made our own "background" on the center cards by stamping with a Hero Arts Christmas script.
Lynette found inspiration for this card on Pinterest--from Splitcoast stamper zipperc98.
In place of zipperc98's edgelet, we used a border punch punch, then a narrow embossing folder, adding 2 strips of card stock outside of the folder, to prevent the unwanted creased line.
Here is my 2013 Christmas card that Lynette helped me design. Since I send out about 100, it needed to be very simple!
Materials used:
My Mind's Eye-Lost & Found-Christmas 6 x 6" pad
Tim Holtz Seasonal Paper Stash-12 x 12
Hero Arts, Stampers Anonymous, Stampin' Up! Stamps
Distress Inks, Stickles

Many people enjoy going to a public pool. It is a well-known fact that some people urinate inside of a pool. However, these pools may have more urine than most people think. A team of researchers tested two Olympic-sized pools for acesulfame-K (ACE), which is a sweetener that is found in urine.
They tested a 220,000 gallon pool. It had 75 liters of urine. They also tested a 110,000 gallon pool. It had 30 liters of urine in it. Additionally, the researchers tested water samples from 250 hot tubs and pools. All of the pools had urine in them. In fact, the pools had 570 times more ACE than tap water.
The reason that the researchers checked for ACE is because it is found in pre-packaged foods. It cannot be metabolized by humans, so the body excretes is through urine. The researchers stated that they did not want to scare anyone with the study. However, they do want people to know that the urine in pools is a public health concern.
Urine itself is sterile. However, when it reacts with chlorine, it forms a compound that can irritate the respiratory system and eyes. It has also been shown to trigger or worsen asthma.
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that health hazards in public pools have been a concern for a long time. Every year, thousands of pools close due to health and safety violations. Many pools do not have the proper PH for killing germs.

take a journey in to see, what the vintage bruja, has conjured up for thee!
How "Vintage Bruja" was Inspired?
i have a love for all things vintage, including wine! so it was no surprise to me that i would have to incorporate vintage, in any business name or alias.
bruja! well there are a few reasons bruja came to mind:
- bruja! is spanish for witch! since i wanted my business name to reflect my latina heritage, BRUJA! was born
- it's a nickname my husband gave me because i have a great intuition, huge fan of Disney's {Female} Villains, & i looooove Halloween.
- because i love Halloween, it was no wonder that i would be married to a man, that 's mother was born on October 31, who also was a crafter! also, one of my husbands dearest & closest friends, whom has already passed away, always said that the reason my husband married me, is because i remind him of his mother! yikes!
that's how Vintage Bruja was born!

We are finally seeing the long-awaited return of Jogjakarta-based indie pop band Seahoarse who already making waves back in 2015. After releasing a new track not too long ago, Seahoarse has finally revealed their latest album. Entitled "Magical Objects", the delivery is a rasping concoction of abundant synths entwined with vocals from lead vocalist Gisela Swaradita. Under the heel of Kolibri Rekords, this album contains ten guitar-driven, reverb-drenched pop tracks including the two lead singles "Cricket Choir" and "Apprentice" – also a set of hand-drawn artworks done carefully by our very own Ratta Bill. "Magical Objects" is available for pre-order until May 31. For further information, check out Seahoarse's Instagram and stream the track below.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/321084074″ params="auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%" height="450″ iframe="true" /]

My friend Sarah and I decided to go put our names in the lottery for the $25 tickets to see Wicked last night. So I put my name in, she put her name in, and we waited to see if we would be drawn. After a good 10 names or so, we heard Sarah's name announced. We quite literally jumped for joy (much to the delight of bystanders), and went to hang out at the library for a while until the show started. We saw a cool calligraphy exhibit in the library, and then we headed over to Gyro King, a restaurant neither of us had been to but had gotten good reviews. Sarah loved her gyro, I didn't like mine because there was too much dill. How did I ever survive with Russian food?
Then we walked over to the theater. The good thing about San Francisco is that the whole city is quite compact. It's a "big city," but it's not big by any means. So literally, the Orpheum is right across from Gyro King, which is right across from the library. Quite convenient. We stood back from the crowd while people were still buying tickets, and when they started letting people in, we went straight in, discussing Spamalot and other crazy things that had nothing to do with the issue at hand. We found our seats (row G in the Orchestra, which was fantastic--limited view, but no matter because we got to see every minute detail on everyone's face), and sat down to watch the show. The production was quite good. Sarah and I had both seen different productions, so at the intermission we were comparing the Glindas and Elphabas to the other productions we had seen.
Now, confession here. I'm not a huge Wicked fan, which might surprise some people. I think the lighting is absolutely phenomenal, I think the sets and costumes are amazing. I don't particularly like the script, and a lot of it doesn't make much sense. I probably would have passed on seeing it this time if it weren't for Patty Duke as Madame Morrible. I've always loved Patty Duke. Ever since my mother showed me The Miracle Worker for the first time when I was about 5, I have loved her. Recently I saw her at the Castro and got to see how amazing she was as a person as well, and I was kind of newly entranced. So of course I made up my mind to go see Wicked, even though I'm not particularly crazy about the play.
Afterward, we went to the stage door. The cast came out, one by one, to autograph programs and such, and Sarah got the autographs of just about everyone in the cast. I wanted to save my program for Patty Duke. She finally came out, and when she got to us, Sarah said "I'm going to let her go first, she's the big fan."
So I told her "I've been a fan of yours since I was 5." She looked at me, obviously moved, and said "Ohhh, god BLESS YOU!" I told her "Ever since my mom showed me The Miracle Worker." She looked like she was about to cry, and then reached out and gave me a big hug. By this time we were attracting a lot of attention. After she gave me the hug she said "You're wonderful!" Then I told her I saw her at the Castro, and we talked about that for a little bit, and it was all so...amazing and surreal. I'm still on cloud nine from this experience.
I felt SO AMAZING. She is just so incredibly nice, and she essentially made my life. But really, what makes me feel the best was that I think I made HER night. She seemed so genuinely moved that someone would be such a longstanding fan of hers. She's talked in interviews about how she enjoys meeting fans at the stage door, and I think that she was surprised that someone as young as I am is a fan of hers, and not only that, but has been a fan from such a young age. It pains me to say this, but I'm not sure too many people knew who she was at the stage door. Seriously, no one else got a hug!!! And we attracted quite a bit of attention!!!
If any of you ever get a chance to meet Patty Duke, don't pass it up. She is the warmest, sweetest most down-to-earth person you will ever meet.
Chickadees, this night was amazing.

10) Paint the hallway and stairwell.
11) Frame the dried flowers from our wedding. I did this in out hallway picture grouping.
12) Print the disposable camera pictures from our wedding.

Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth? (Compact Disc)

Staff Reviews
Weisman's remarkable new book discusses population, consumption and the human place on Earth while preserving a real sense of hope.— Ty
A powerful investigation into the chances for humanity's future from the author of the bestseller The World Without Us.
In his bestselling book The World Without Us, Alan Weisman considered how the Earth could heal and even refill empty niches if relieved of humanity's constant pressures. Behind that groundbreaking thought experiment was his hope that we would be inspired to find a way to add humans back to this vision of a restored, healthy planet-only in harmony, not mortal combat, with the rest of nature.
But with a million more of us every 4 1/2 days on a planet that's not getting any bigger, and with our exhaust overheating the atmosphere and altering the chemistry of the oceans, prospects for a sustainable human future seem ever more in doubt. For this long awaited follow-up book, Weisman traveled to more than 20 countries to ask what experts agreed were probably the most important questions on Earth--and also the hardest: How many humans can the planet hold without capsizing? How robust must the Earth's ecosystem be to assure our continued existence? Can we know which other species are essential to our survival? And, how might we actually arrive at a stable, optimum population, and design an economy to allow genuine prosperity without endless growth?
Weisman visits an extraordinary range of the world's cultures, religions, nationalities, tribes, and political systems to learn what in their beliefs, histories, liturgies, or current circumstances might suggest that sometimes it's in their own best interest to limit their growth. The result is a landmark work of reporting: devastating, urgent, and, ultimately, deeply hopeful.
By vividly detailing the burgeoning effects of our cumulative presence, Countdown reveals what may be the fastest, most acceptable, practical, and affordable way of returning our planet and our presence on it to balance. Weisman again shows that he is one of the most provocative journalists at work today, with a book whose message is so compelling that it will change how we see our lives and our destiny.
About the Author
Alan Weisman is the best-selling author of "The World Without Us, " and an award-winning journalist whose reports have appeared in "Harper's, " "The New York Times Magazine, " "The Atlantic Monthly, " "Discover, " and on NPR, among others. A former contributing editor to the "Los Angeles Times Magazine, " he is a senior radio producer for Homelands Productions and teaches international journalism at the University of Arizona. His essay "Earth Without People" ("Discover"magazine, February 2005), on which "The World Without Us "expands, was selected for "Best American Science Writing 2006," and he is interviewed frequently about how humans exist on the planet.

This was by far Hannah's favorite part of the visit. She spent the whole time in line for this horse ride saying "I do it myself? PLEAASSSEE".
Cotton..you know, there's a story with this. My (Hannah's) grandma used to pick cotton. She used to work in the fields for hours when she was a little girl. And all she got was two pennies. And she did it barefoot. And that was after she walked home from school barefoot in the snow - and you know, it was uphill both ways. I wonder why she didn't just go to wal-mart if she wanted some cotton???

It's a slow night at work, so what have I been doing? I took a drink order, so I'm not entirely floundering for things to do. I *do* have things to do, especially in the efforts to get the new Muppets song Life's a Happy Song out of my head. Believe me, if you like any of the Muppets at all, its a catchy tune that will be stuck in your head all day long.
A bit of a surreal day. I have another doctor's appointment coming up in the next few days, and any worry I had laid to rest over the past couple of weeks, is resurfacing. I can't handle the waiting. My mind is all over the place. The stupid thing is, this appointment will tell me something I never want to hear in a million years or it will tell me to be on antibiotics for awhile, and everything will be well. It's one of two extremes, and the suspense is killing me. On top of that, I watched 50/50 last night with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Talk about your dark comedies. I almost cried at several points. After the movie was done and over with, all the worries came back for myself. It's not going to be an easy week mentally. I keep reminding myself whatever the result, it is the will of the Force. It would not present me with something I couldn't handle. It doesn't seem to quell the bubbles in my stomach.
I recently read an article in Woman's Day magazine that more and more people are making the assumption about people and the diseases they have. For instance, if you have lung cancer, a high percentage of people will auotmatically assume you were a heavy smoker and one point in your life, if not currently one. So not true. No one wants cancer, but cancer can blossom out of anything. It seems to be a result of anything these days. The sun, certain medications, the processing of our foods, cell phones…pretty soon it will hair spray and dog food making us sick.
I suppose I'm in a weird mood because of all the possibilities looming over my head. It will work out the way its meant to. I have to believe it that way.
However, worrying and fretting are my worst traits. If guys don't call me back after a date, it's because I'm a fretter. Not a nail biter, ironically. Just a worrier. It takes its toll on my digestive system, and my hunger pains. I often don't eat when I'm stressed. At least I'm not hiding who I really am.
I fret because I care.
"People always want to judge you on your ethnic background. For instance, if a white guy likes rap, he's trying to be black. If a black guy gets a job, he's trying to be white."
Those are the words of Aisha Tyler, a sitcom star of her day.
Can't say I totally agree with what she's saying, but a get the gist of it. It's like when people find out I'm a hard core Star Wars fan. They see my collection of goods, we talk about the movies more in-depth than they could possibly imagine…and then they drop the ax. It always happens…without fail. I'm starting to formulate T-shirts that express my true feelings.
To sum it up….No, I am not a Trekkie simply because I am waaaaaaayinto Star Wars.
Just because both of them have aliens and deal with space travel doesn't mean I love both of them equally or even at all. I heart Star Wars. I *do not* like anything about Star Trek. The only thing I can appreciate about it is that Chris Pine, Eric Bana and Zoe Saldana were cast in the remake a couple years ago. That's it. Nothing more. I don't even have a clue what Star Trek is truly about. I know there's a guy named Spok. True Trekkies are probably rolling in their graves right now, their eyes popping out of each and every socket. Ha! I'm sorry…but we'll always be at war with each other.
Although, I did see this video a year or so ago, and really enjoyed it. Try and muster to ignore the fact the song is sung by Ke$ha (although, I will admit I secretly love some of her more popular hits.)
I will never be a Trekkie. My ex-boyfriend never understood why I couldn't be both a Star Wars nerd and a Trekkie. One main reason? It has taken me years to gain the ranking in my fandom that I possess. No one has to ask me what I'm up to, or when I mention a new project I'm working on, they instantly know it's related to Star Wars. Whenever anyone seems something even remotely related to my wonderful Force-filled universe? I get texts, phone calls, Facebook messages, random off-topic conversations. It takes years to build that sort of impression on people, and still be loved despite my obsession/livelihood. I'm not about to devote that much time to something I'll have to learn to love, if I'd even like it at all.
Besides, I'm also a dedicated Grobanite, so I have to pick and choose my battles.
Ms. Aisha Tyler's words could also be put towards my experiences as a farm girl. I wear the name loud and proud people. I am not ashamed that I grew up in the middle of nowhere with my back yard, my imagination, and my zillion pets as my best friends. Let me tell you…I had the sexiest fake boyfriend back in those days. Not only could he weild a lightsaber with expertise, but he was also well-dressed, well-mannered, romantic in all the right ways, damn good in bed, liked by my family, friends and royalty (he had a wide ranging social cirlce…far larger than mine), disciplined, he worked out on a regular basis, and smelled like freshly cut hay all the time. Maybe that's why my ex-boyfriend told me I had high standards. He couldn't match up to the fake romance of my youth. Wow, he was shown up by someone who doesn't exist. Who's the bigger fool? The one who dated him, or the one who ended it because he couldn't live up to the standards?
I can be difficult sometimes, but I'm not overly demanding!
Being a farm girl definetly has its advantages. I certainly don't depend on men if I don't have to. Even when my dad would acknowledge he'd given me a chore that might be outside of my strength's capabilities, I still told him to back off. What I couldn't accomplish with strength, I gave it my call with creativity. I'm sure handy when it comes to old pieces of lumber and rigging up fulcrums of sorts. I can be very crafty.
The weirdest comment I have ever receieved when someone heard I grew up on a farm: "Really? You grew up on a farm? With animals and stuff? You don't look sure don't look like a farm girl."
Okay…what the hell does that mean? Is it because I'm not chewing on a piece of straw wearing my ripped up jeans, button down shirt, and shit-covered boots? My hair is loose around my face without pieces of hay in it? Because it looks like I showered recently?
I don't know what stereotypes are out there, but I can assure you, growing up on a farm was 100x better than growing up in the city. I had free non-polluted air. I exercised without even knowing I was exercising because I was constantly running around outside playing. My afternoon snack was often a handful of carrots or peas fresh from my mom's garden. She didn't care…she was happy we found those things delicious compared to the cookies stored in the kitchen cupboard. I'd read for hours out in our cow pasture, and when the sun was at a certain level, it was my job to chase them home for the evening milking, then help out with chores.
According to Ms. Aisha Tyler….who am I trying to be like now that I live in the middle of a rather large city attending the Academy? Probably a city kid….except if you spend on whole day with me, you'll realize I wasn't raised or meant to be in a city. I walk alot, especially when the weather's nice. By the lake, out in the woods, just around the neighborhood, around the gym walking track. I don't sit still. Ever. Along with being a fretter, I'm a fidgeter. Foot bounces up and down…up and down…up and down. People who fidget burn more calories than those who sit perfectly still!
Oh, poor Kate Middleton who has to look perfect all the time 😉
Be who you are going to be, people. Don't let someone else dictate your every move or the way you should act. Someone I follow on Twitter today made the comment: People say you've changed when you no longer act the way they do. I like that saying for a variety of reasons, and I really like it if you're acting in a better way than before. Don't go backwards and turn into an asshole. No fun, and people tend to hate you more for it.
Be who you need to be. Don't ever hide it. Me? I am a student, a Jedi in training. I am a farmer's daughter, putting my strength to use for those who can't. I am a reader of books, for reality sometimes needs to be escaped and imagination can solve more problems than most "intelligent" people realize. I am who I am.
A Jedi has to do what a Jedi has to do.

Peter Capaldi may be out, but the Doctor is always in! This past weekend, we witnessed the first stop in the farewell voyage of Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor. And that means it's almost time for a new Doctor to take over the TARDIS.

Of all games for the Chiefs not to have inside linebacker Jovan Belcher or nose tackle Anthony Toribio available, Sunday's opener against Atlanta may be as good as any.
The Falcons utilize multireceiver sets as much as any team in the league, with receivers Roddy White, Julio Jones and Harry Douglas, plus tight end Tony Gonzalez. That will put the Chiefs in their nickel and dime coverage packages, which Belcher and Toribio do not play.
In the sub defenses, Belcher is replaced by a defensive back, and Toribio's spot is taken by rookie Dontari Poe, who will also play the nose in the base 3-4 front.
"They have multiple personnel groups," Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said of the Falcons. "We can play 34 defense versus everything, we can play nickel versus everything, but generally you choose to play your nickel versus multiple wide receivers."
Atlanta uses multiple receivers so often, the Falcons list 12 starters — including veteran fullback Lousaka Polite, who is a deployed as a blocker in goal-line and short-yardage situations.
Belcher, who was held out of practice Thursday because of a groin pull, was limited on Friday and listed as questionable, as was Toribio, who has been out two weeks because of an ankle injury.
Chiefs linebackers coach Gary Gibbs is counting on both Belcher and fellow inside linebacker Derrick Johnson, who is questionable because of an ankle injury.
"We're confident they'll be on the field, and we're confident in the guys who are behind them," Gibbs said. "In this league, you're always nicked up we're fully intending that Jovan will be 100 percent and ready to go."Injury report
The Chiefs listed defensive end Allen Bailey (ankle), safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) and Toribio as doubtful. Besides Belcher and Johnson, they listed cornerback Jalil Brown (groin) and cornerback Brandon Flowers (foot) as questionable.Crennel in openers
Crennel is 0-4 in season openers as a head coach, all with the Cleveland Browns during 2005-08. So winning his first opener as the Chiefs head coach would be special for him, considering a new Kansas City coach hasn't won his first season opener since Frank Gansz in 1987.
Not Marty Schottenheimer, not Dick Vermeil and not Todd Haley.
"As a head coach, you always want to get off to a good start," said Crennel, who did win his debut as the Chiefs' interim coach last Dec. 18 with a shocking 19-14 win over then unbeaten Green Bay. "And if you win the first one, it's a pretty good start. It would be a good shot in the arm for all of us."
Crennel has some fond memories of opening day.
"A couple of years ago, as defensive coordinator, it seemed like we beat a pretty good team that came in here," he said of the Monday-night win over San Diego in 2010.Daboll vs. Nolan
Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and Atlanta defensive coordinator Mike Nolan were in similar roles last year at Miami, so they know each other's schemes and philosophies pretty well.
"He puts his players in good positions, he has multiple, multiple schemes so it's been a grind these last 10 days," Daboll said. "Anytime you play the first game of the season, there's a little bit of the unexpected. You prepare hard, but Mike has a lot of different looks, he has a lot of different pressures, a lot of different fronts."
So who has the advantage in this matchup?
"It's who plays best on Sunday," Daboll said. "You've got to give a good plan for the players, and the players have to execute, and we all have to try and do our part."Missouri homecoming
Atlanta's defense features two former Missouri Tigers: safety William Moore, a second-round pick in 2009, and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, a first-round pick in 2010.
Weatherspoon had a breakout season in 2011, starting all 16 games and posting career highs with 127 tackles (86 solo) and four sacks. Moore started 11 games last year, made 62 tackles and had two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
"Weatherspoon is a sideline-to-sideline player," Daboll said. "He can fly to the football. He's good in the pass, he's good in the run. He can cover. He flies through those gaps and pressures. They put him on the line he plays in their nickel package. He's all over the place. Moore can play in the deep part of the field, and he can tackle."Hall of Honor additions
Two new exhibits and several newly acquired artifacts will be on display at the Chiefs Hall of Honor when the season opens Sunday.
The AFL Breaks the Color Barrier is a new exhibit that traces the history of the Chiefs uniform from the franchise's days in Dallas to today's new Nike jerseys. The other new exhibit, 50 Years in Kansas City, follows the team's move from its roots in Dallas to Kansas City in 1963, including the "Operation Touchdown" campaign and the renaming of the team. Among the new items are former Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez' shoes from one of his 10 Pro Bowls. Gonzalez now plays for the Falcons.
Other new items on display include: the helmet of the Boston Patriots' Jesse Richardson, the last full-time pro to play without a face mask; Hall of Fame kicker Jan Stenerud's AFL All-Star jersey from 1970, the final game in AFL history; Hall of Fame coach Hank Stram's stopwatch with his name in tape on the back; badly worn Chiefs helmets belonging to E.J. Holub and Jerry Mays; Mo Moorman's home Chiefs jersey; Otis Taylor's warmup sideline sweater; Johnny Robinson and Jerrel Wilson's Super Bowl IV jerseys; Derrick Thomas' gloves with a "58" insignia; and Christian Okoye's and Ron Jaworski's shoulder pads.

Hey guys Shivam here, long time but now lets comes to the post. This post is about a bug in Facebook that lets you bypass the privacy setting of any user to see the friend list of them . By this you can see the friend list of any one include the one who has blocked you .
Good for boys to spy their ex or current but let me clearly declare that this is not a new thing to know this trick is online from years but I thought it could be good to revise as some of us are still not aware of this.
so lets come to an example , Examples are the best to describe in what condition you want this trick as much that you can sell your kidney to see someone's friend list . So lets start … Just imagine a situation where your girlfriend just dumped you but you are not giving a damn about it, you just moved on but on some day you got to hear about new boyfriend of your ex and guess what your ass is on fire so you decided to view who is that new guy so easiest way of doing this is to see your ex's friend list and find who is the new wild card entry in that , but wait what happened nothing is visible in the friends tab , that is because your ex had set privacy on her friend list so you cant do anything . But wait after this post you can do some thing….
So after this example that is not happened to me( I SWEAR ) you can now understand the importance of this post . so only because of this I am posting this trick again .
After This Post :-
- You Can View Friend List of Anyone.
This is basically not a programming bug, its just a feature which allows users to get friend suggestion based on their activity which include sending friend requests.
So basically you send a friend request and then Facebook starts their work..
Steps :-
1. Make a New Facebook Account. (For Email ID I Prefer Use a New Id , For Fake ID Use Rediffmail)
2. Now After Making New ID And activating It Just Send Friend Request To The Person Whose Friend List is Hidden.
3. After That Go To Find Friend tab Or On App Or Web It Will Automatically Starts Displaying The Suggestions These Suggestions are The Friend Of the Person.
4.. You will Not Able to See Full Friend List So To Get Full List Try This With Different Ids .
SO Thank You For Reading Good Night …..


text: Despicable Me 2 is a must see this summer. Everyone knows I am a huge minion fan but since I was invited to review the movie and give my honest opinion so I went into this as a critic and not a minion lover. My overall grade for Despicable Me 2 is a B only because I feel that the first part was better. One of the best things about part 2 is that it is in 3D which made everything look much cooler. Now do not get me wrong I still laughed and shed maybe 2 tears during the movie. I would recommend this if you want to take your kids or even if you want to go on a date if you don't have kids. This movie is for people of all ages… you can never go wrong with minions!

NTT America Recognized for Leadership, Green Initiatives and CSR Activities
New York, NY – July 30, 2012 – NTT America, a global IT infrastructure services provider and wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), today announced recognition for several important areas of the business, including the company's executive leadership team, broad energy efficiency initiatives, and activities undertaken in support of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program. NTT America is the largest oversees affiliate of NTT Communications Corporation, the global cloud services provider and wholly owned subsidiary of NTT. NTT's financial performance has recently been acknowledged by Fortune, an influential biweekly global business magazine, and Gartner, a leading industry analyst firm.
NTT America leverages the financial assets, significant research and development investments, global coverage and comprehensive ICT service and solutions portfolio of NTT, as well as relationships with NTT family companies Dimension Data, NTT DATA and Integralis, to holistically support enterprise business lifecycles.
In recognition of outstanding leadership, NTT America's President and CEO, Mr. Kazuhiro Gomi, has been appointed to the board of directors of NTT Communications Corporation. The youngest member of the board, he took office immediately following his approval at the NTT Com Thirteenth Annual Shareholders' Meeting held in Tokyo, Japan, June 15, 2012. Mr. Gomi remains at the helm of NTT America, continuing in his role as CEO, a position he has held for two years. He is responsible for the direction and leadership of NTT America's mission, strategy, annual goals and objectives, as well as for fostering a culture of success.
Industry Recognition
Fortune Global 500: Fortune identified NTT as the largest telecommunications company in the world in terms of revenue on this year's Fortune Global 500 list, released July 23, 2012. NTT is now ranked 29th on Fortune's annual rankings of the world's largest corporations, moving up from 31st place on the 2011 list. Sixty-eight Fortune Global 500 companies, including NTT, are headquartered in Japan; following the United States and China, Japan has the third highest number of Fortune Global 500 companies in the world.

Verdantix: In July 2012, Verdantix positioned NTT America in the lower, right Specialists' Quadrant on the Green Quadrant® Sustainable Telecoms (US) 2012, noting the company's strong momentum score and potential to join the Leaders' Quadrant. The report provides a detailed, fact-based comparison of 11 sustainable telecom solutions provided by 12 of the largest telecoms service providers in the U.S. market. The report highlights NTT America's stand out capabilities for several sustainable telecom solutions and strong corporate sustainability performance in home markets outside the US.
In May, at the seventh annual Uptime Institute Symposium in Santa Clara, California, the Uptime Institute presented NTT America together with Vigilent, provider of intelligent energy management systems, the prestigious 2012 Green Enterprise IT Award for Facility Product Deployment.
Giving Back
NTT America maintained a strong dedication to societal contributions in the second quarter; the company's Corporate Social Responsibility Program operates within the framework of NTT Communications' CSR initiative. In June, as part of NTT Communications' commitment to community beautification, NTT America joined Blue Coat and Dimension Data for a day of service with City Year New York. The combined Blue Coat, Dimension Data, and NTT America teams helped City Year New York create a positive play space for students at P.S. 161 Pedro Albizu Campos, transforming a courtyard space into a gardening and play area.
NTT America also made significant monetary contributions to charitable events in support of the health and welfare of youth and children. Charitable event sponsorships included:

If you have been keeping track of Venice weather, then you know we have been having a run of Aqua Alta. Last night at midnight the water was extremely high, 140 cm. Tonight at midnight it's estimated at 120 cm, so because of that Christmas Eve midnight mass in ST. Mark's will be held at 10 pm instead of midnight.
We're having a very low key holiday this year., staying home. It's about all I can manage. Mike put up and decorated the Christmas tree while I was in the hospital, so it was great to come home to alittle holiday spirit. I normally hang lights on our balcony. Next year!
Buon Natale!! Merry Christmas to all. I hope you all have a very special holiday season.

Ciao Karen,
So glad you are back and on the mend.
Buon Natale to you and Mike from a very wet and rainy (no aqua alta at my place at least).

Happy New Year from California! So glad you are bouncing back. Hopefully you are able to get around our beautiful Venezia now without pain. I love Venice but find it was really hard on my ankles and knees two years ago and never had problems walking before, there or other places. I am excited to see when you post on your blog. I look forward to further episodes of the hospital stay. Have a warm and joyous 2011!

Sometimes, when you meet and fall in love with a couple (yes, I fall in love with my clients), you completely understand why the universe brought you together. Ben and Diana are so incredibly smitten with each other that when you are around them, you feel every ounce of it! They remind me incredible amounts of Robby and I, which only leads me to loving them even more! We also had beers and burgers after their session...I mean...really!?
It has been such a fun planning process with Diana and Ben, talking about their wedding day as well as thinking of ideas for their engagement session! When Diana told me that she would love to have their session at Ben's parents' house in Hixson, TN I was SO excited! There is something special about having a session where there is a strong connection. Ben's mom was so incredibly sweet, bringing quilts and blankets for us to sit on (it was a little soggy) and asking if anything needed to be clipped or cleaned up; I adore strong knit families and both B&D have them!
Ben is also a musician. Music has always played a large factor in their relationship so when I brought up the idea of having his mandolin they were SO up for it. It also gave us the chance to hear Ben sing to Diana...lets just say I couldn't stop smiling behind the camera! I asked Diana for a favorite song for their blog post...something I don't normally do (like ever), but it feels perfect for them! She sent me three songs and this one just STUCK with me. So perfect...so THEM. I got chillies listening to it while writing this!
"There are way too many love songs, and I think they've got it all wrong.. Life is not the mountain tops, its the walking in between and I like you walking next to me." - Ben Rector, "I Like You".

Leisure Outdoor Fishing Guide and big pike specialist Mike Crawford has been up on Lake of the Woods chasing monster pike. If you have ever wanted to catch a trophy pike through the ice this is a trip for you! Contact us at 855-562-4665 (LOA-HOOK) for complete details.
Make sure to check out the videos below!
Here is Mike's latest report:
The bite is on for giant pike.... I just arrived home from a few incredible days of fishing them on Lake of the Woods with some great friends, and wow, what a few days it was! We began fishing a deep water flat Thursday afternoon and it wasn't long before we had our first giant of the year on the ice. A massive 44 incher that just couldn't resist a Bigtooth Tackle fluorocarbon rig. From there, the bite was on! Over the next couple days, fishing was on fire and we were able to catch and release 12 more giant pike over that magical 40" mark, including many more between 36"-40". Lucky for us, not only were the giant pike hungry in the deep water, but so was everything else, as we managed to catch a bunch of walleyes and a few bonus jumbo 13" perch. When targeting fish like this, remember the number one key is bait. The area we fished was loaded with bait and this was probably the reason so many big fish were in such a small area. Days like this are not uncommon on Lake of the Woods, which is why I spend the majority of my time and effort out there chasing these giant fish. Here are the photos!!!

Sensory Depravation/ Synesthesia Suit 1
When wearing this suit, the subject experiences complete blindness as well as a significant muffling of the sense of touch. Speakers within the hood allow the subject to hear the sounds produced by contact microphones at the end of the tentacle-like arm extensions. Right and left sides are differentiated only by pitch.
This work is intended to allow the user/subject to experience a type of forced synesthesia. It also requires that the subject experiences space through senses that are not primarily used as indicators of such.
The results from different subject's test runs will be recorded and analyzed for further evolutions of the suit.

During the President's anger bear speech yesterday when he yelled at Congress to fix the stupid debt ceiling already, Obama proposed ending tax breaks for corporate jet owners as a means of raising revenue instead of cutting from programs that make sure children do not starve. Automatically, this means that Fox News must do a story on the plight of victimized corporate jet owners, who are just the latest group of voiceless Americans thrown under the bus by giant ogre Nobama.
Who really needs those $3 billion a year more than those corporate jet owners, those people who are singlehandedly keeping the economic recovery afloat with their tax break from 2008? READ MORE »

Maybelline Pink'ed Baby Lips Limited Edition Collection Launches
The Maybelline Pink'ed Baby Lips Limited Edition Collection is starting to launch in drugstores. If you didn't know the new Maybelline Pink'ed Baby Lips Collection is a collection featuring five new limited edition shades of Maybelline Baby Lips.
Take a look!
Maybelline Pink'ed Baby Lips Limited Edition Collection isn't a newly formulated version of Baby Lips! This is just a release of new, limited edition shades. Nothing has changed with this formula aside from the colors. Maybelline seems to focus on more of a "pink" shade trend for the Spring colors. This isn't the first time Maybelline has released LE shades of Baby Lips and likely not the last time as apparently they are a popular product. Personally I've never really loved them…they are ok but not as deserving of all the raving in my humblest opinion.
The Maybelline Pink'ed Baby Lips Collection includes the following shades:
- Pop of Pink 110
- Blush Burst 105
- Rose Rush 120
- Very Berry 125
- Mad for Magenta 115
Maybelline Blush Burst Baby Lips
Maybelline Mad for Magenta Baby Lips
Maybelline Pop of Pink Baby Lips

Scottish Oatmeal
May 10, 2011 § 1 Comment
While rummaging around in the cabinets this morning, I stumbled across this,
Scottish Oatmeal!
Scottish oatmeal is ground steel cut oats. You still get all the nutritional benefits (germ, oil, and fiber) from the oats, but with far less cooking time than traditional steel cut oats. We're talking 4 minutes vs. 40 minutes, yippee!
The final product = a delicious, creamy bowl of oats!
Peanut butter blob.
Tuesday breakfast.
Today is another busy one starting off with a fitness dance class at my gym, a doctor's appointment, and finally getting around to picking up these from one of my favorite stores!
Catch ya later!
Have you ever tried Scottish oatmeal?
What's your favorite breakfast cereal? Hot or cold?
I prefer a hot bowl of oatmeal or another type of hot cereal over cold any day! Cold cereal keeps me full for about 20 minutes.
§ One Response to Scottish Oatmeal
[…] breakfast I enjoyed Scottish oatmeal once again. I've been loving oats for breakfast these past couple of […]

понедельник, 8 октября 2007 г.
Lying in a bed in Elephant & Castle, London. No one else is around. Blue walls, red brick out the windows, street lights so old they've gone that winsome, wistful gold color of faded lights. They look tired, like autumn is here - last barbecue, nights at the lake, hot apple cider, fires, the promise of winter and long days spent reading and staring as the world goes by. The Australians still don't know what they're in for. This is a rare moment of comfort and privacy. I'm deeply content, and exhausted. The university did not contact me today, so I carry on the job hunt in the morning. I flirted with the receptionist and she gave me the business wireless password, so I can catch up on my e-mails, write a few, and look for jobs/apartments all without the boundless joys of London internet cafes. Not all internet cafes are created equal. They are cheaper here than in Ireland, but not as comfortable. The one I've been using lately is a pound for two hours (compared to upwards of 5 euros an hour in some places in the emerald isle), and they seem to make their money by creating an environment that no human being can tolerate for more than 30 minutes. The weekend was wonderful, if a little indulgent. On Saturday, I went to the Tate Britain to see the Millais exhibit with a friend. She was in London six years ago, and after the exhibit we walked around the area where she used to work - the first time she'd seen it again. The place is closed now, the sign cracked and faded from an oilfield sunrise orange to dried apricot. There is something warmly human about someone else's nostalgia. After picking apart the easy bits of our lives and eccentricities - what is a French country girl, who doesn't like big cities, doing in London? Again? - we joined some of her friends for the France v. New Zealand rugby match. Got home late (for London! The tube stops running around midnight!) The 'underground' is experimenting with licensed busker stalls in the pedestrian walkways, and I hearing someone playing "London Bridge is falling down," someone else playing Green Day songs. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," I think. Reminded me strongly of Neverwhere. Yet another book I need to read again... I've talked another friend into letting me store some books in her room. She's a long-termer at one of the hostels I frequent. The room has an improbable closet with a ridiculous shelf at the top, some 10' off the floor. Suffice to say, no one else was using it. By jumping a bit I managed to stuff most of my luggage into it. I feel safe with them there, as I figure anyone else who tries to pull a bag of lugubrious texts off of the shelf will meet a grisly end. It amuses me no end to think about my hardcover copy of "The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for The Third World" crushing some would-be book thief. Proof of my addiction. A partial count reveals I have at least 20 books now, and I know there are more locked in inaccessible parts of my suitcase. I'm averaging one every other day right now, and have found some people I like enough to actually give my books to when I'm done with them. "Blink" was a really good read. I've left a few books behind without knowing who got them, and I wonder about them frequently. Who picked up my copy of "An Arab-Syrian Warrior-Gentleman in the Period of The Crusades"? I know someone did, because it was gone the next day... who is reading about the British stay-behind force in Malaya during WWII? Presumably this is akin to how parents feel about their children. It must be exhausting. Still, books can't write home. It'd be nice to hear from them. (Hi Mom! Hi Dad! Everything Is Great!) Sunday was quiet, luxurious during the day. Slept late, found a place with a fantastic brunch. Ate too much in a happy way. It was one of my better Sundays in Europe, as I had no where to be and nothing to do, which made me feel like a real Londoner. There is no where to be and nothing to do before two o'clock, so its all parks and long lunches... if you can find a place that is open. Sunday is forever Sunday from "The Man Who Was Thursday," representative of all the good and all the evil in the world - incomprehensibly huge, majestically obese like a red rubber ball or a dirigible. The strongest image that remains with me from the read is Sunday leaping over a balcony and bounding away in huge, impossible strides. This is what I think about during the day. Sunday evening turned into Monday morning watching another rugby game at the hostel. I know most of the staff now, so its increasingly home-like. The stories people tell are beginning to overlap with the lore from movies and music. Things 'sound right,' like they're the stories that people should be telling. Charlie, the bartender, knows the owner and thats how he got the job ... he wants to join the army as an infantry officer, and he's outrageously preferential in his treatment of female customers. Jerrod is a Kiwi who says he hates London and hates his job, but he seems pretty happy about it all. Mike is awkward, he has a degree in some brand of engineering, but he's working at the hostel as security, trying to be something that he is not - whether it is self-improvement or denial, I may never know. There were a few Irishmen in the hostel bar that night. I hadn't realized how much I'd learned about Irish culture in my emerald exile, but it was an easy jovial banter until they descended into drunkenness and then an early bed. At some point, sitting with all the girls in the bar and Charlie, I mentioned that I was under the impression that far more women traveled than men - that most of the people I know in London, and knew in Ireland, were female. One of the savvier members of the group pointed out that I was probably avoiding the cheapest of all hostels (true, but not by much - I have an elaborate calculus comparing rating to price, and a 20% rating boost is worth 50 pence a night!) She also pointed out that there were plenty of guys in the bar that night, they were just all playing wall-flower and/or too drunk to be bothered talking. So perhaps my thoughts about the gender-gap in travel (and work, school, ...) are erroneous - maybe its just me. Perhaps most of the guys are just too quiet to be noticed. Perhaps kissing the blarney stone really WAS magic... or, more likely, I'm just so damned pleased with myself that everyone else is too. Its pretty cool feeling like you're the protagonist in your own life.

I'm happy to report that Sara seems to have finally turned the corner. Her fever finally broke in the middle of the night, so she is now fever free! She is in good spirits this morning, and drinking some on her own. She didn't eat breakfast, but that doesn't really mean anything for her. She's always been a sporadic eater.
With her fever gone, we will be going home tomorrow afternoon as long as it doesn't return. Sara has to have 48 hours of IV antibiotics before we can be discharged, and her last dose in that 48 hours will be given at 2pm tomorrow (Monday). We will then be allowed to go home on oral medicine, which she will probably be taking for at least 10 days.
Sara was feeling so good this morning, she pulled to stand in her bed to dance along with the show she was watching. I thought you all would want to see her getting back to her normal self. I just can't get enough of that smiling face!
We can't wait to get home to our own beds, and our buddy Tank. And thank you so much to my dad and step-mom for watching Tank for me while I've been living at the hospital with Sara. Hopefully he was a very good dog while Sara and I have been here.
And thank you to all of you who have sent prayers and healthy vibes our way!! They're working, so keep up the good work.

Since everybody seems to be getting into the act, I have an announcement to make: ShysterBall has an interest in Johan Santana. And make no mistake -- there are no untouchables here. We are willing to part with almost anyone to make it happen.
I'm not going to lie to you, though; getting the extension done may be tough.

There are so many amazing sites that I feel the need to spread the love, so every Sunday I'll be highlighting either a website or blog that I find fun, inspiring and/or crafty. Yay for Sundays!!
This Sunday, I'll start with a site called polyvore – I know weird name, especially when the site relates to fashion, yes fashion! What makes polyvore so much fun is that you can mix and match all types of clothing and accessories to create super cool fashion collages. Here's a sampling of some of my mine:
Neat right? If you get chance of creating a fashion collage, be sure to drop me a link. I'd love to see your style! C U later! Sue

The ashes of Australian man Rye Hunt have returned home to Tasmania after he was cremated in Brazil.
The 25-year-old's body was found washed ashore at Marica near Rio de Janeiro on June 8 following a desperate search after his disappearance 18 days earlier.
Brazilian authorities believe Mr Hunt may have died from dehydration or drowning after attempting to swim while under the influence of recreational drugs.
His uncle Michael Wholohan and girlfriend Bonnie Cuthbert arrived back in Hobart with his ashes on Sunday morning.
"The family spent the day with them debriefing and sharing memories of Rye," his sister Romany Brodribb told AAP on Sunday.
"We are planning to hold a celebration of Rye's life on July 10 in Hobart for family and friends."
Meanwhile, Edward James Rye was born last Monday night to Ms Brodribb.
"We wanted to give (Edward) a little nod to his uncle," she told The Mercury this week.
The 25-year-old backpacker went missing on May 21 after he separated from his travelling companion Mitchell Sheppard at the Rio airport.
They had an argument after the two took what is suspected to be a highly potent hallucinogen known as NBOMe.
The search for Mr Hunt started on social media when Ms Brodribb and her family could not contact him after he was last seen at the airport.
Police released CCTV footage showing Mr Hunt at the airport and a search led them to an apartment he booked for three days.
It then emerged he likely took a local drug that caused extreme paranoia and anxiety, and may have swum to an island 900m off the coast of Rio.

Okay......he's cute eh! When Kim described a mouse roasting a marshmallow I was thinking okayyyyyy.......interesting.... Then she showed us this image from my friend Crissy and I was like 'of course it works perfectly lol'. Crissy is such a talented artist, she blows me away with her cute whimsical images. You may recognize Crissy from her work at High Hopes stamps previously and now Kim and Crissy have joined together to make these fabulous images! Crissy's passion for her creations and her family and life truly show in her incredible images. You can meet her Sunday at Scrappingreatdeals at Kim's stamp launch party along with many of the Krafty Girl's on the design team. Sunday at SGD at 1pm- be there if you can!
Kim's store- Kraftin' Kimmie's stamps-is open for business starting Monday, October 5th. The stamps are deeply etched unmounted rubber and you will love how the images turn out. All the sentiments I have been using are from Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment set and it comes with over 30 cute and fun everyday phrases and the set was created by Jeanne Streiff!! I haven't met her yet but I already love her!
Okay, back to getting the make and takes ready for Sunday. That's right you will have a chance to play with the images before they go on sale to the rest of the world!
Here are the links to the other Krafty Girls to hop along and see their sneak peeks for day 2!

Family and friends pay their respects to Nichole Walters.
Walters' calling hours were held Sunday afternoon at Fergerson Funeral Home in North Syracuse. The service was private.
Police say the 27 year old was shot and killed by her husband Justin Walters at their home last Sunday night, just outside Theresa. State Trooper Joel Davis was also killed and another woman Rebecca Finkle was shot.
Nichole Walters is survived by her son. In a statement earlier this week, her family said Walters' son was "her world."

Early Mass Brompton Oratory
I was up early on Sunday to go home and wanted to get to Mass before I caught my train. I took the District Line from my hotel and travelled initially to Westminster Cathedral. As I approached Victoria, I realised I had enough time to get through to South Kensington so I went through to the Oratory. I'm glad I did. This was post-conciliar Low Mass as she should be celebrated (or so I think, you may disagree).
The priest celebrated Mass quietly. He just said Mass. "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Lord be with you...." (No "Good morning everyone!" "Good Morning, Father" "Nice to see you!" "To see you - NICE!" - h/t Patricius). He read the epistle(s) on the epistle side and the Gospel on the Gospel side of the altar. He said the psalm without the opportunity to say the responses (should he have? I'm not fussed. The response for the congregation can be desultory at times - he just said the psalm through). See what he did? No lay person reading. He gave a firm sermon about the Gospel. He said in explicit, orthodox terms what a Catholic should do and shouldn't do (in this case about the occult - he related it to the disciples casting out spirits in the Gospel).
He referred to the Holy Father in the bidding prayers as His Holiness Pope Benedict. The second prayer was for those who govern us. (Let us pray for Queen Elizabeth and those who govern in her name...) When did you last hear the Queen prayed for? OK, I live in the West of Scotland....We prayed for the poor and those in all kinds of need but the terms poverty trap or social justice were not used once.
Mass was celebrated ad orientem. I didn't really notice - it just seemed very natural. I didn't feel left out. Communion was taken kneeling and on the tongue. I suspect he wouldn't have made a fuss if a communicant had held out their hand to receive.
It was quiet, prayerful and reverent. I felt I had participated. The Unique Sacrifice of Jesus Christ was offered on the altar - a fitting Sacrifice to Almighty God.
Job done.
The sun was shining on the streets of London. I found myself smiling. I had a leisurely breakfast at a Costa and caught my train on time.
Any chance the Oratorians could take over at St Aloysius when the Jesuits move on?

For a packing break, we ate at a restaurant that our neighbor campers recommended. The Black Hills Burger and Bun Company was rated the best hamburger joint in the U.S. We figured since we were traveling the U.S., we should have the U.S.'s best hamburger. They were seriously good!
Another evening, we visited Custer State Park. This was an interesting state park, and it had the Needles Highway. This is a famous highway that is so mountainous and twisty that the speed limit is 5 MPH, and that's not because of undue caution. The roads were really that crazy! Parts of the Needles Highway were twisty roads that had been blasted into cliffs, with only inches of tunnel on each side of our super large truck. I took no pictures, as I was too busy watching Char not accidentally run into the wall of the mountain. He did great, though. Custer State Park is really something to see.
While at Custer, one of our favorite things was watching the wild buffalo and the wild burros. The burros came up to our car and rubbed their faces on the side view mirrors. They were so pretty and fun to watch!
And then we were packed and ready to leave.
The man who was buying our camper showed up and hauled away our Sandpiper. I had thought I'd be quite sentimental about this, but as I watched the fifth wheel being towed away, my main thought was, "I'm so glad WE don't have to try to get gas while pulling that thing anymore!" This ended our 7.5 month campground experience. It was amazing, and it will take quite awhile for my brain to process all I learned while traveling the U.S. with my family. I'm so thankful we had this experience!!
On our way back to Ohio, we made our annual stop at "Lisa's Lake." My sister-in-law's parents are fantastically awesome for always welcoming our family at their place on their lake in Indiana. We had a great reunion with cousins, grandparents, and aunts and uncles.
Char continued to work from home as he has done for the last months, in the same room with a ton of people, wearing headphones to drown out the noise.
E and Miss I started out the week scared of a lot. We got them on the jet ski, and by the end of the week, E was driving it, and Miss I was no longer screaming. I think a theme of this trip, in general, has been to do things that make us afraid. Life is a lot richer when you stop being afraid.
Y learned how to paddle a kayak by himself.
The reunion with everyone was so fun!! The matching cousins had a blast as usual, the kids got to get back to doing crafts with Grandma, and we all got to congratulate Aunt Cher, Uncle Gun and K on their upcoming twins. Yay! We also got to see my cousin, Rachel, and her new husband, Cord, who were home from Kuwait. It was so great to catch up with her, and I can't believe I forgot to take pictures. Insert a mental picture of them here! After that, we had a reunion with more friends. I have tons of pictures of the kids skiing, kneeboarding, kayaking, and swimming, but here's a picture of the three wild moms. :)
Fun times! And then we left Indiana. As we passed the "Welcome to Ohio" sign, we couldn't help but think that the Utter traveling adventure had officially ended. I'm so glad I have plenty more time with my family, and plenty of time with friends back in Ohio, and the adventure of life will continue wherever God leads. I don't know the future, but because of this trip, I don't mind not knowing anymore.
There are lifestyle choices I want to remember from this trip. One of my new traveling friends sent me a blog post from Ann Voskamp with a few quotes I just loved:
"Time can change a lot of things, but not the most important things."
"What if every comfort zone - is just a death trap?"
We need to do more than just exist, and that's what I want to remember as we begin to live life again in an ordinary environment. Don't be afraid. Live the way God leads. Live. Don't exist. And living that way, the Utter Adventure will continue.
Many blessings to you, in the adventure of your life. Thanks for reading our blog. Love from the Utter family.

Wrestling: The 10 Current Worst Themes in WWE and TNAOctober 26, 2010
Wrestling: The 10 Current Worst Themes in WWE and TNA
In my eyes, there are three things that make a top wrestler: in-ring ability, mic skills and a good, recognizable theme.
Die-hard fans will obviously recognize most, if not all, wrestler's themes but the casual fan might not. It might seem like such a small thing but I believe that all top wrestler's have a theme that you know, recognize and that fits the wrestler's gimmick well.
In this slideshow, I mention ten current themes that I don't like. Your opinion may be different and if there are any others that you think should have made the cut then please don't hesitate to comment below and let me know your thoughts.
If there's enough feedback, there might be a part two. Anyway, let the bad themes commence!
1. Daniel Bryan
Although Bryan has really made a mark since he came into the WWE, his new theme is, quite frankly, terrible.
This is the sort of thing you'd expect to hear whilst watching Star Wars, or worse still, at an opera. Bryan doesn't really need much of a gimmick as his in-ring work is top notch, but he might be taking things a bit far with this new theme.
2. Alberto Del Rio
This theme, in its own right, isn't all that bad. It sounds kind of Mexican so fits with Del Rio, but I just can't take it seriously.
It doesn't sound like a wrestling theme; it's not something that'll get you pumped for the upcoming match. But then again, neither does Del Rio…
3. Ted DiBiase
At least Del Rio's music, although terrible, fits him. DiBiase's is frankly awful. It just seems a bit bland and boring, which yet again, could easily be used to describe the superstar in question.
The man has the looks and pedigree to be a star but, much like his theme, is a bit bland.
4. Tyler Reks
I'm not going to lie: I'd never seen this guy wrestle until two weeks back. After some due diligence, it seems he has come through the FCW ranks fair enough.
But what has this guy actually done in the WWE apart from steal Kaval's Bragging Rights spot away? His theme doesn't really help either; it's as forgettable as the man himself.
5. Jeff Hardy
Hardy debuted a new theme at Bound for Glory. It coincided well with his heel turn and him winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Heels, for me, need to have a "dark" theme. It's hard to explain, but it's fairly easy to say whether a theme would work better for a face or heel. A good example is John Cena, if he turns heel, do you really think he could pull it off with his current entrance theme? Me neither.
Hardy is going to have enough trouble convincing people that he is a credible heel, and his new theme doesn't really help him at all.
6. Cody Rhodes
I don't really get Rhodes' new gimmick. It hasn't helped his credibility or his performances in his ring, but I guess it wastes some TV time.
His new theme, much like his old tag team partner Ted DiBiase, is quite painful. It's cheesier than a cheese sandwich with cheese spread.
I'm quite surprised Rhodes hasn't been sued by Sting. For anyone who has watched TNA for the past couple of months, please tell me you didn't think Sting owned the rights to the words "smoke and mirrors." Please?!
7. Brian Kendrick
I'm not even sure what this can be classified as. Is it music? It's definitely not a song. I think it's just some noise.
Kendrick has used this theme since he debuted in TNA in January and has yet to make a mark on the company. I think the first thing he can do to help him achieve that is to get a new theme.
8. Anonymous RAW GM
I know, I know, it's not really a theme, but still it's stupidly annoying. It was kind of intriguing to begin with, but now it's just boring.
The noise has really started to get on my nerves, and I'm sure some of you who have friends with iPhones. With this being the text alert for the iPhone, I can never seem to get away from it!
Michael Cole doesn't help either with the same old "Can I have your attention please?" How about no.
9. Abyss
I don't know what to say. I know it's not his current theme or gimmick, but it's awful enough to make the cut. If any wrestling booker ever needed an example of how to completely wreck a monster, it's here.
I know it fit in well with his gimmick at the time, but the gimmick, along with the theme, was dreadful. Poor old Abyss is still feeling the after effects of being mocked so much.
10. Carlito
I had to include this, it makes me laugh every time I listen to it. With Carlito now a free agent, it would be very surprising if he didn't end up in TNA at some point (doesn't every former WWE guy?), and this theme was made in the style of RVD's current entrance theme.
I think Carlito should join TNA just so this theme can be used!

Bitter pill for Thai public health
your say May 01, 2014 00:00
2,229 Viewed
Re: "Spotlight on cosy ties between doctors and drugmakers", Burning Issue, April 22.
This column discussed the relationship between doctors and pharmaceutical companies and how this might affect public health.
The issue is more complex. Those people who can afford it hold the view that imported medicines are better than locally made ones. This creates pressure to import from multinationals, which have large sales-forces to try to influence doctors.
Over the last 40 years Thailand has had a good history of providing effective, low-cost medicine for its people. The GPO and local manufacturers have been able to supply the pharmaceutical products and other necessities at the right price and quality.
To purchase hospital medicines, the government uses an electronic bidding process, resulting in lower-cost medicines that usually come from China, not Thailand. These lower-cost medicines have lower quality.
The government has stated that it wants to reform the health system and reduce expenditures, which over the last decade have risen from Bt60 million to Bt200 billion a year.
Now the emphasis on lowest cost is causing the local industry to fail to get contracts to supply hospitals. This will likely result in closures, which is bad news for the future of Thai patients and their medicine.

Are the best gins made in Scotland? New Ginfographic maps out Scottish gins
(Click image to enlarge and save) Is gin overtaking whisky as Scotland's national drink? Too bold a claim, maybe.

Scottish gins I love
At the risk of sounding like the dreaded h word, I drank gin before it was cool. My love affair with gin began about ten years ago when I was looking for for a healthy alcohol (well, as healthy as alcohol can be) that didn't contain too many calories and turn my head into a raging inferno the following morning. I discovered the classic g&t and fell in love with its light fresh taste and lack of hangover the following morning (unless … [Read more...]

Probably a couple of weeks ago, I got up in a particularily good mood. As a matter of fact, I think it was upon returning from the Blue Ridge Mountains. At any rate, my wifey had gone to work and I was standing out on our back deck in my pjs with a cup of coffee, at about 0900hrs. I suppose I should add that I have never had a good hair day, first thing in the morning. But being a typical guy, my hair is the least of my concerns at that time of day. My thoughts are more along the lines of: "Is there coffee? Is it good and strong? Is it making it's way to my mouth?" Trust me... hair does not even make it's way onto my agenda until 1100hrs or so.
So I'm feeling good. Playful, even. "This is never a good thing", my better half would say. As I stand there, feeling very much grandiose and surveying my minuscule kingdom, I happen to spy a neighbour of mine, also standing out on her deck and looking curiously in my direction. I do not know this person and we have never spoken before. Our eyes made contact. I raised my coffee to her with my good arm, while my bad arm contorted into some Howie Mandel-esque gesture. I flash her a maniacal grin and yell across our yards: "I dressed my...self!!!"
Then I just stood there, looking ever so pleased with myself. My would-be neighbour did not reply. She actually broke eye contact and quickly disappeared inside her house, drawing the curtains after her. Hmmph! Some neighbour... Ah well, I guess that's how you figure out who you want to talk with and who you don't. If they had've had a sense of humour, they would have had a witty comeback, or at least would have laughed. I told my wife about this particular encounter a while afterwards and she laughed saying: "Oh my God... what are the neighbours going to think!?!??" Now see... she is someone worth talking to. She gets it. Hmmmm... Maybe that's while we're still together 12 years down the road.

anadama bread - bread baker's apprentice challenge is a go
This past week while surfing a bread feed, I stumbled across a bread baking adventure. It seems over at PinchMySalt, a bread baking idea was hatched. The key concept - work through the entire The Bread Baker's Apprentice cookbook by Peter Reinhart. I was instantly inspired as I've learned a ton from Peter, but the group of willing bakers had already grown to the 200 person cut off. Missing my chance to join in, I mentally decided that I will try and follow the same rules - a new bread recipe every week, and blog about my experiences on my own.
The first bread, which is to be finished by today, is called Anadama Bread. Peter talks about the bread being a 'great New England' bread with many versions and a conflicting story about the origin of it's name. The key in Peter's version is to soak the cornmeal the night before baking. With that said and only a few days to complete the task, I soaked my corn on Friday night and put everything into action on Saturday. The bread was so different from anything I've ever encountered. It is extremely soft (like baby bottom soft), moist and had the most delicious molasses and corn flavor. I've only made a roast beef sandwich so far, but it was magnificent. I'll definitely revisit this loaf in the future.

I now have a week to prepare for bread challenge two which is labeled Artos: Greek Celebration Breads.
