NPPD Economic Development Manager To Speak At OMPA's Annual Electors' Meeting
Dennis G. Hall, CEcD, is the Economic Development Manager for Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), will be the guest speaker at the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority's (OMPA) 2010 Annual Electors' Meeting on Thursday, September 9th at 1:15 pm at the Roland H. Dawson OMPA Headquarters Building, 2701 West I-35 Frontage Road, in Edmond. NPPD is Nebraska's largest electric utility. OMPA will be celebrating its 25 years of providing wholesale power and services to its 37 member cities in Oklahoma.
Hall will discuss NPPD's Economic Development Team's efforts to stimulate economic growth in Nebraska by assisting with the expansion and retention of existing industry, and/or attracting new business. He leads NPPD's Economic Development Team in assisting communities and rural areas in preparing for economic development opportunities across NPPD's chartered territory which includes 91 of Nebraska's 93 counties.
Hall is a graduate of South Dakota State University, the Economic Development Institute at the University of Oklahoma and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Organization Management at the University of Colorado. He is a past president of the Nebraska Economic Developers Association, past chairman of the Economic Development Committee of the American Public Power Association and past chairman of the Heartland Economic Development Course at Blue Springs, Missouri. The Heartland Course is sponsored by state economic development associations in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Oklahoma. The National Rural Economic Developers Association presented him with their 2010 Rural Economic Development Award for his work with rural economic development.
He has been designated a Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) by the International Economic Development Council and a Certified Key Account Executive (CKAE) by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
Those attending the meeting also will hear reports from OMPA Board Chair Charles Lamb and OMPA General Manager Cindy L. Holman on the accomplishments of the past year and the future direction of the agency. The focus of the annual meeting will be the election of the board of directors' members. The board consists of an 11-member board elected by representatives (electors) of the participating cities. These members serve staggered three-year terms with one third coming up for election each year.
On July 8th,, the Ad Hoc Nominations Committee consisting of OMPA Board Chair Charles Lamb (ex-officio), Committee Chair Homer Nicholson, OMPA Board Member, and OMPA Board Secretary Robert Johnston met and nominated the following OMPA Board members: Mike Nettles, Clyde Shaw and Chuck Hall for additional three-year terms on the board. There were no other nominations and committee members voted in the affirmative for these three members, who are all willing to serve another term.
Nettles, Altus City Administrator, was appointed Interim Director on the board during the February 14, 2002 monthly board meeting and confirmed by the electors during the 2002 Annual Electors' Meeting. He was hired on January 22, 2002 as Altus' new city administrator.
Shaw, former Duncan City Manager, was appointed an Interim Director on the board on July 8, 2004 and confirmed by the electors during the 2004 Annual Electors' Meeting. Before being hired as the city manager, Shaw served as the City Clerk/Executive Director for Duncan since February 1979. He retired in May 2010 after more than 31 years as an employee of the City of Duncan, but is still the elector representing Duncan.
Hall, Mayor of Perry, was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board and confirmed by the electors during the 2007 Annual Elector's Meeting. He has served as Perry's Mayor since April 2007. He also serves as chairman of the board for the family-owned Exchange Bank & Trust Company of Perry.
In addition, Janice Cain, Marlow City Administrator, was nominated by the committee to serve the remainder of the term expiring in 2011 for the seat formerly held by E.J. "Gene" Hahn. There were no other nominations and all committee members voted in the affirmative for Cain to fill Hahn's remaining term. She was unanimously appointed by the board to fill the vacancy during the board's monthly business meeting on March 11, 2010.
Cain has served as Marlow's City Administrator since 1998. In addition, she serves as a member and past president of the MESO Board of Directors and as a past board member and president of the City Management Association of Oklahoma. She also serves as a board member of the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group (OMAG) and is a past board chair. She is a member of the International City/County Management Association and the American Public Power Association (APPA). In 2008, Cain received APPA's Larry Hobart Seven Hats Award during the organization's national conference in New Orleans. The Seven Hats Award recognizes managers who perform a variety of duties in communities serving 2,500 or fewer meters.
OMPA is a state governmental agency created by the legislature to serve cities and towns that own and operate their electrical distribution systems and is governed by the members. The Authority presently serves 37 municipally-owned electric systems in Oklahoma.

Cole and I. We are best buds.
We spend all day every day together.
He loves me and I love him.
And on Tuesdays, when dad is working late, we go out and we partay.
By partay, I mean we run errands, we go to the park, and we walk around a little lake nearby, I buy Cole real apples and he actually eats them, instead of the freeze-dried ones. (progress!!)
This is a big deal only because it's technically too hot outside to even walk from our house to the car and vise versa (but we do it anyway). I'm taking everyone's advice from last week, and we're getting out of the house anyway, even if I'm instantly sweating the minute I step out of the house. Cole doesn't seem to mind and he's such a happy little thing when he's running around in 100 degree weather. (don't worry, I drenched him with my water bottle every 5 minutes)
So happy (hot) Tuesday to all of you!
I'm looking forward to cooler weather when I SEE YOU ALL IN UTAH NEXT MONTH! (sorry Lissie :/)
I'm feeling seriously spoiled by all these sisters trips, but definitely not complaining :)
love, Lulu

So i took a break from card making to try my hand at something I've always admired.... Scrapbooking !! It was a lot harder than I thought...and Im definitely not really thinking out of the box...so although sophmoric, I'll post and hopefully see some progression...
First is a two page layout, of trying to get a good photo with the kids. Papers and embellies are Crate and October afternoon, canvas button is CTMH. I used my airbrush to colour the thickers...they look...umm...oh well!
some fun colours and papers, and I micked some of the flowers in the paper. Middle flower is some retired SU ribbon, and the top and bottom flowers are PTI beautiful blooms dies with the rounded part cut off
Second page is the amount of photos it took to get a decent shot !! No embelishment here as the photos make it quite busy...
last a single page spread of my son...and the damage a bowl of cherries can do. The two colour scheme is a bit..plain...but this was my very first attempt and I already see some growth from this to my double page layout..so happy with that !! Papers are Bazzil and Cosmo cricket.
Thanks for staying it out on this longer than usual post. And letting me show off my kiddos a bit too!!

Clinical prediction rulesBMJ 2009; 339 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.b2899 (Published 07 August 2009) Cite this as: BMJ 2009;339:b2899

What are they?
Clinical prediction rules quantify the contribution of symptoms, clinical signs, and available diagnostic tests, and stratify patients according to the probability of having a target disorder.1 The outcome of interest can be diverse and be anywhere along the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic spectrum. Developing and validating a clinical prediction rule is a form of observational epidemiological research that requires referring to specific methodological standards.2 3
These rules usually go through three distinct stages before they are used in a clinical setting:
Development of the rule—establishing the independent and combined effect of explanatory variables (or clinical predictors), which can be symptoms, signs, or diagnostic tests
Narrow and broad validation—the explanatory variables or clinical predictors in the derivation set are assessed in separate populations
Impact analysis—a randomised controlled trial measures the impact of applying the rule in a clinical setting in terms of patient outcome, health professionals' behaviour, resource use, or any combination of these.
The CAGE score (box) is a clinical example of a rule developed to aid in the diagnosis of alcohol abuse.
The CAGE questionnaire
Each positive answer scores one point.

Even though the number of disciplinary actions from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has dropped just slightly this year, fines paid to the SRO are expected to be 41% lower from what was assessed in 2012.
In its Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions report for the first half of 2013, FINRA said there were $23 million of fines—compare that to the same time period last year when the SRO fined brokerage firms and associated individuals $39 million. The total in fines it would assess for 2012 would reach $78 million. This year's total is estimated to reach $46 million.
One reason for the decline might be that FINRA had already brought its biggest cases related to the market collapse. A decrease in supersize fines of those over $1 million has also occurred during the year's first six months. However, in July, the SRO reported fining a financial firm $7.5 million while another had to pay investor restitution of $1.5 million. Supersize fines were also imposed on other broker-dealers.
ThinkAdvisor lists the leading five enforcement issues for FINRA for the first half of this year (figures were reported in Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions): municipal securities, with 25 case at $4.3 million; electronic communication, with 25 cases at $2.5 million; mutual funds with 18 cases at $21 million; suitability, with 31 cases at $1.7 million; and short selling, with 16 cases at $1.5 million.
FINRA is the biggest independent regulator of securities firms in the US—4,215 broker-dealers (and their branches) and about 633,620 brokers. It is here to protect investors and ensure market integrity.

Many securities cases are resolved via FINRA arbitration. You want to work with an experienced FINRA arbitration lawyer that can help your recover your investment fraud losses. Our securities fraud law firm represents investors throughout the country.

Katrina Kaif and SRK works with Yash Chopra's flick not like Daag revamp!
Since the time that it was proclaimed that Shahrukh Khan will star in Yash Chopra's comeback directorial step, we've been willingly looking send to it. The several have unfailingly given us paramount pictures. The way that SRK will co-star with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma put in the expectation. We were stunned when we first caught the buzz that the untitled picture is a change of the 1973 picture Daag. This affection triangle was senior Chopra's first venture under his particular flag Yash Raj Films and starred Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore and Rakhee. Here we have SRK, Kat and Anushka, with the Ladies vs Ricky Bahl young lady even now disclosing that hers is a supporting element. Rakhee's element was a supporting one as well.
The clues were enough for individuals to begin doubting that this one was in fact a revamp of Daag. Luckily, origins chipping away at the undertaking have affirmed that the buzz is not correct. The upcoming picture is situated in London and has the several heroes fitting in with the white collar class. We are quite assuaged to know this! We possess no issues with revamps and we cherish Daag, but we wouldn't positively would like to see it being revamped.
For one, the notion appears bizarre today's times. Sunil (Rajesh Khanna) moves toward getting separated from his wife Sonia (Sharmila Tagore) when he is captured for unintentionally killing a chap who was trying to assault Sonia. He is sent to imprison, which will just make today's viewer, who has adult viewing American wrongdoing indicates, inquire the measurable masters were not carried into authenticate self-defence. The rest of the story comes apart in the thick of it. With respect to the throws, we concur that the most fit sentimental brave person we've had following Rajesh Khanna and Rishi Kapoor is unequivocally Shahrukh (however Aamir Khan fans wouldn't concur with us). However we unequivocally can't envision the 46-year-old star as a love bird spouse lovelorn at being split from his wife.
Daag is a prototypal that was route in advance of the time is now yet truly tainted now. It's greatest let be. We could much lean toward to see SRK sentiment Katrina in a new storyline, without the remembrances of tunes such as Mere dil mein aaj kya hai demolishing it for us. What do you express?

User review on Maruti Suzuki Wagon R written by Priyanka Choudhary on 15 June 2015
Priyanka Choudhary's review on Maruti Suzuki Wagon R LXi
Year of Manufacture : 2013 | Driven no. of Kms. : 56000
- Pros: Easy Handling
- Cons: Hard Seats
My choice of the car came without much thought but as experience. I had several rides in my best friends car and came to like the way she handled it with ease and comfort. Short turning radius, ease of parking, soft gear shifts and the powerful whirl of the gentle engine made me like the car so much. As i still recall it was just the way the car responds to the slightest urging for speed and accelaration that confirmed Wagon R was the car for me. It still thrills and excites each time i step out especially with convinience for parking in short spaces or turning from congested city roads.

A Christian Pastor in New Testament Christian Churches of America, NTCC. Blogging about Christianity and life. Humorous, informative and I hope inspirational.
Monday, May 22, 2006
We have been tormented all day today, (Karaoke) I think it may be peculiar to the Philippines that if you can not sing, then rent a videoke/karaoke machine and crank it all the way up and let the whole neighborhood know of your inability. I really get a kick out of it usually, I do love the Philippino, but I guess it is a vice that I sometimes indulge by watching a fellow in a public place sing his heart out and sound soooooo bad! Once while we were walking through a mall, this large guy had the microphone and was grooving in front of the videoke machine and singing horribly (highly amplified of course) and I chose to walk on that side of the walkway to see who would do that to themselves. It is so important to them, that if you go to a little village, where they may not have a doctor, they may not have a real toilet, they may not have their own water and plumbing, but you can see a little 6ft by 6ft building, or maybe a tent, that has a karaoke machine and the volume is always cranked up (Especially if you can't carry a tune.) Today, after a whole day of this loud music I wondered if the suicide method Hari-Kari originated from the word Karaoke! Follow @ddevonshire

I've been wanting to try these forever and we finally made them for FHE tonight. My kids all gobbled them up- but they also barely know what a real brownie tastes like so that helps ;) We made chocolate frosting and topped them with strawberries to counteract the beans.
Black Bean Brownies
Servings: 9
Dense, fudge-y and ultra-healthy, these brownies are a great alternative to traditional brownies! It's amazing how they taste like chocolate and fudge and not beans! Chef's Notes: Rolled oats run through the food processor may substituted for the instant oats. Use optional sugar if your bananas are still green and not very ripe.
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 whole bananas
- ⅓ cup agave nectar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup raw sugar (optional)
- ¼ cup instant oats
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8x8" pan and set aside. Combine all ingredients, except oats, in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, scrapping sides as needed. Stir in the oats and pour batter into the pan. Bake approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing. Chef's Note: if you find these brownies are too soft or too fudge-y, add another 1/4 cup oats or flour.

Been friends with this guy for awhile. Lately our hugs are becoming cuddles (as he calls them) and we hug everytime we say goodbye and he kisses my forehead too. He's been affectionate lately and this morning out of the blue he sends me a hug message, telling me he wanted to brighten up my day with a cuddle.
We are just good friends, we are not dating. He doesn't do this to our mutal female friend either.
He gets playful at times and he likes to make me laugh. And he gets quiet when I'm in a bad mood but is happy again when I'm happy.
Most Helpful Guy
Women are confusing creatures.
Do you picture him doing this to a guy friend? Ask yourself that.00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
stating the obvious here: He is into you, woman!
If you like him back make a move. He is not doing it himself because he doesn't want to ruin the friendship.11|00|0

Law enforcement officers and fire personnel throughout the state are heading for Toledo for the 24th annual Ohio Police and Fire Games, which start today.
"It's a great experience for everybody," said George Gerken, a lawyer and retired Toledo police sergeant who has participated every year and is organizing the cycling events this year.
About 1,600 participants and family members are expected for the week-long event.
The games include about 30 sports. Events that are new or have been brought back this year include arm wrestling, judo, three-on-three basketball, bowling, volleyball, beach volleyball, and walleye fishing.
There are individual and team events. Spouses may participate in some events.
Venues for the games include the University of Toledo, Ottawa Lanes, the Clarion Hotel Westgate, Toledo Express Airport, various parks and golf courses, and the Lucas County Recreation Center in Maumee.
Mr. Gerken said the games are important for two reasons: fitness and camaraderie. "It's important for them to maintain a level of fitness in their jobs, to work toward something. And they meet a lot of people from different agencies throughout the state," he said.
Some participants prepare all year, while others organize teams and practice only a few times in an attempt to win a medal.
Jim Donnelly, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Toledo Convention and Visitors Bureau and the SeaGate Centre, anticipates about $755,000 will be spent at hotels, restaurants, and attractions in the area.
"This is a pretty good piece of business. Any outside money coming in is important to us," Mr. Donnelly said.

Wow, I can't believe that this is my 100th post! Time flies when you are having fun. One of the things I like most about blogging is the support of other bloggers. I have been so encouraged by others during this long process. Thanks to all you amazing people.

I'm feeling very binary today! That's probably because yesterday and today have binary dates! 10-10-10 and 10-11-10. Here are some fun binary things to do and think about:
– Bake some binary cookies
– Yesterday's date 1010101 in binary translates to the decimal number 42. That makes yesterday the answer (but don't forget, we still don't know the question.) From GeekDad
– Translate some stuff between binary and letters with this 8-bit encoded ASCII translator, also from GeekDad
– Give your friends a "High 31" by counting on your fingers in binary from Yvette's Inner Geek
– Get a binary clock so you will be the only one in the room who knows what time it is
– Buy some binary jewelry
11 cheers for binary!

I don't know how it started, but today at the office, an editor and I got into a discussion of Southernisms, if you will. Or, I guess, since another editor from the Midwest originally chimed in that she'd grown up with one of the same phrases, they'd be more accurately called colloquialisms? In the South, you might also have to make the "redneck" distinction. Either way, I can recall alot of these hilarious, often confusing, make-you-think-for-a-minute statements that roll off people's tongues as naturally as taking a breath. For your reading pleasure, a few of the ones mentioned today:
"crazier than a hit dog"
"happier than a dead pig in the street"
"shaking like a small dog trying to pass a peach pit"
"his brain's slick"
"your eyes were too big for your stomach/your eyes were bigger than your stomach" (or, in aforementioned first editor's case, her family always uniquely said "your eyes were bigger than your head" when they couldn't eat what they ordered. These sayings take on a new life wherever they land! She also grew up hearing "out of arm's way" instead of "out of harm's way" which, you could make a case for being correct as well.)
And my favorite of the day and a new one on me to boot: "you'd better put some sugar on that salt!"
§ 2 Responses to Sayisms
These had me laughing and bewildered–I have never heard ANY of these, save "out of harm's way" and "eyes bigger than your stomach."
Then again, despite being born and raised in Georgia, my parents are Yankees.

Hard to believe that we are going into our third week of school. The kids have been busy learning all the rituals and routines of our class. Last week we began our nursery rhyme unit and our Star Book vocabulary unit. Our nursery rhyme unit is taught in our skill block and focuses on phonemic awareness. Throughout the day we have been listening to our Star Books such as Caps for Sale and The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. We use these stories to help us learn how to retell stories orally and through dramatic play. These books are all rich in language which we use to help broaden their vocabulary. In Writer's Workshop we have learned how to tell "sharing events" to our friends and begin to write those stories with pictures and words. Math has been a time of exploration. Students have learned about the different manipulatives we have in class and have had free time to explore all the many ways they can be used. This week we were also able to finish our math diagnostic test which will help us know how to best teach your child. In Science we have been learning about what Science means and what Scientists do. If you haven't checked out our glog - make sure you do. This time of the year is also a great time to learn about family which we have been doing in Social Studies. Students have been able to draw and share pictures of their families. Somewhere in between all this they have had time to do some crafts, enjoy recess, and play with new friends.
Check in frequently to see all the great things we are doing. Have your child write a comment about what he/she has liked most about the first two weeks of school.

My nephew is 65 years old, long history of COPD. He was hospitalized 2 weeks ago, H1/N1 flu virus, diagnosed several days later with pneumonia and within the last several days with MRSA in his lungs. The hospital appears to be leaning towards releasing him in a few days. Since we are roommates, I'm concerned with the possibility of becoming infected. It is my understanding the MRSA infection can be controlled but not eliminated. Since my nephew is prone to long coughing fits from COPD, could he still potentially be contagious at some point after he is released from the hospital?
MRSA infection in the lungs?

Saturday 10 October 2015. The rain prevented me doing this walk on Wednesday and rather than doing it, as intended, from Hawes to Keld I decided to do it the opposite way around. This meant that I had my £25 taxi ride to Keld at the start of the walk and could walk back at my leisure without the pressure of meeting a pre-determined pick-up time.
The taxi picked me up at 8.30am and dropped me off at Keld Lodge at a little before 9am. The dining room was full of residents enjoying their breakfast but I could only look on in envy before setting off on my walk back to Hawes. I was familiar with the first part of this route and knew that there was a climb of 700ft to the top of Kisdon Hill. It was steep to start with but gradually eased off the nearer that I got to the top. The reward was a fine view down Swaledale although the early morning mist restricted this a little. A steady descent took me into the hamlet of Thwaite. I'd walked just under 3 miles but it had taken me 90 minutes and by now I was feeling a little hungry. Thankfully there is a Coffee Shop in Thwaite and I called in for a pot of tea and a bacon butty in readiness for the climb of Great Shunner Fell that was to follow.
In a strange way I was looking forward to doing Great Shunner Fell which, at 2,350ft, is the 3rd highest hill in Yorkshire. I have to say that it was something of a disappointment as it is just a rounded piece of moorland and lacks the character of Yorkshire's more well-known 3 Peaks. It was 3.4 miles from Thwaite to the top of Great Shunner Fell and on the way up I only met one fell runner and a group of 3 walkers who had set off from Tan Hill. It therefore came as something of a surprise when I got to the top to find that the cross-shaped summit shelter was full of other walkers, most of whom must have come up in the opposite direction from Hawes. It was so busy that I had to ask a group of walkers to shove up so that I could have a sit down for my lunch break.
The descent was a little boring, open moorland, until Hearne Top where views of Wensleydale opened up. Rather than following the Pennine Way back through Hardraw, the Herriot Way diverted through Appersett on the way back to Hawes. All the way down, for almost 7 miles, I'd been thinking that I would have some celebratory fish & chips in Hawes but I was to be bitterly disappointed to find that the chippie was closed until 5pm. I wasn't going to wait for over an hour and celebrated with a Magnum choc ice when I got back to the caravan.
This final leg of my Herriot Way was 13 miles with a total ascent of 2,400ft. Whilst I've enjoyed doing the whole 52 miles, my favourite leg was that from Keld to Thwaite. It had the most climbing and was perhaps the most remote. Perhaps that is why I liked it the best.

I have gotten that question a lot lately! So far so good...no real complaints. I mean, um yeah, I am sleep deprived. I am constantly feeding someone, changing someone's diaper/clothes, cleaning and basically running around like a chicken with my head cut off! But really, REALLY, I would not have it any other way. I would, however, LOVE to win the lottery so that I do not have to throw working into this mix ;)
Dominic is the same old kid. Super happy to have a little sister. He is still sassy and has a teenage attitude but he is pretty helpful in terms of the babies! He has informed us that he has a girlfriend. Not only that...but he wants to kiss her. KISS HER?! Yeah, not really sure how I feel about that. I have told him that he is too young to kiss. His response: "Can I give her a peck on the cheek." "No, but you can hold her hand." "Mom, holding hands is for old people. Old people do that and take walks, we are not old!" Oh yeah, he really did say that. Good Lord...WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!
Logan has entered the terrible two's. Full blown tantrums, hitting, biting and angry spouts. Oh the fun of having a toddler in the house! Very thankful that he does not take any of his aggressions out on his baby sister :) His vocabulary is starting to explode, though. He repeats so much, says everyone's names, can say animal names and some of the sounds they make. He does the dances he sees on his favorite TV shows and sings the songs. He constantly wants to go, go, go....he is such a boy.
Charlotte is wonderful, adorable and such a little love bug. She does not mind taking baths. She lets me sleep some ;) She is so sweet and only cries when shes hungry. I have been really lucky to get all great babies! I am having a blast with all the dresses, bows and outfits. Having a girl rocks but of course I wouldn't change having my little monkeys first either!

So glad things are going well!!!ReplyDelete
I keep thinking how "easy" it has been having an 11 year old and baby. Only one diapered butt, only one who can't reason with etc.
And we want one more in the next year? Yikes! What a new world that will be! I'll be watching you and seeing how you do it. :)
Let's get together at the park or something when the rain quits!!!
That sounds great Steph! Logan loves to play at the park. It will be great when they are older but I know the first year will be hard.ReplyDelete
I'm glad everything is going well!ReplyDelete
You're right, winning the lottery would make things so much easier! ;)

This morning I was able to get backstage access to the BCBGMaxAzria show (the PR firm at where I am interning represents Phyto, the supplier of the haircare products for the production). After finally arriving at the backstage location (I was only lost for about 20 minutes!), I had the chance to soak up the scene. Here are some of the highlights:
The scene:
Backstage, models were running around, getting prepped for the runway. They were having their hair styled, make-up and nails done. Editors were interviewing members of the respective beauty teams, being ushered around by PR from the teams represented, and photographers and videographers were crowded around, scrambling to catch all of the action. The atmosphere was exciting and the energy was great! I even spotted Max Azria himself having his hair trimmed before the show!
The hair:
The overall look for the hair was very simple. Bob Recine, who styled the hair for the show clearly wanted the clothes to be able to take center stage. Phyto hair care products were used including the Phytodefrisant, Intense Volume Mousse 12, and the Phyto Laque.
The make-up:
The MAC team was on hand to create all of the make-up looks (surprising to me because I expected Maybelline to be doing the make-up for all of this year's shows). The face was, like the hair, kept simple, and featureda neutral eye with a hint of black liner on the top lid, a soft-looking bronzey cheek, and a natural lip color.

Mr B has a friend that is pretty knowledgeable about composting. This guy has invented a large-scale tumbling composter, and he's found a freegan spool to make an even larger version of it for me.
I can't reach all the way to the top. That's how big this thing is!
Side note: this guy says we're almost composting on an industrial scale, what with all that backdoor fruit my boss sends home with me. Whoa.
I got to pick his brain about composting. He says my compost heap stinks because it's gone anaerobic. It's gone anaerobic because I haven't been putting enough brown in it. Brown is stuff like sawdust, wood chips, rotten sticks. He and Mr B had some cellulose left over from one of their product testing experiments, and Mr B and I tossed it into my compost heap. I've been instructed to keep my ratio of brown to green roughly equal.
This morning, I went out and added some newspaper and egg cartons, toilet paper and paper towel cores, and plain brown paper from deer feed bags to the old compost heap and started a new one with our household compost bucket contents and more of the paper products.
Sunday, when I go to work, I guess I'll be doing my boss a favor by cleaning up all of the wood chips all and bits of bark around his firewood stacks so I can at least start trying to match the amount of backdoor fruits & vegetables I bring home.

In the recent publication of Time Magazine under Global Business section, Writer Neel Chowdhury has put the new perspectives on Asia's globalization. Big players like US, EU and Japan are leveled with Asia having China as the "big-brother" leading the export and import trade rose 44% within Asia country in 2003. Big bankers are turning head and putting extra care toward Asia region, new strategies and new division specifically handle Asia and its trade partners. It's not a new trend since old school almost always recycle itself. The 70's fashion made a come back so is the "Silk Road".

How easily can you follow the data-driven learning principles in a f2f classroom?
Actually it is not so easy to follow these principles in a common school in turkey because it is a kind of opposite of traditional learnin which is teacher based because the classes are too crowded in such schools and you can not reach every of 50 students in an hour class.But when we consider other schools we it is useful to use data driven learning that will be helpful for the second language acquisition.

Not sure how you can engage 50 students in a class with any methodology, other than techniques like Jazz Chants or audio-lingual drills. I've seen references to teachers in China having classes of 300+. Do you think it is a matter of size of class? Not sure why you would say this, as DDLL does lend itself well to student-centered learning, working in groups, and discovery learning. All are useful tools in large classes where you need to use lots of group work. I wonder what you think about the mindset of Turkish students. Do you think that they have the ability to learn a language through a process of discovery where there are seldom any absolute answers?YanıtlaSil

Last Friday my wife went to a friend's house for a girls night as it was her friend's birthday and they were celebrating.
That left my son and I on our own at home.
As soon as she was out of the house we sat down and watched an episode of Warehouse 13 that we had recorded.
Once we'd watched it I got my son to get ready for bed as I wanted a bit of time to myself.
By the time that his hamster had been fed and watered and had a run around in his ball it was 9:30. Off to bed went my son.
Once he was settled in bed I popped up to say good night. I've started to raise the subject of Jenny with him a few times but not the subject of transitioning. The closest I've come is showing him a picture of me in stockings and basque that was taken at a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
A couple of days after he'd seen the picture we had a conversation which ended with him asking me if I'd worn a blouse. I told him yes but that I couldn't tell him anymore.
A few days later I mentioned it to him and said I would tell him when I wore a blouse but couldn't at the time.
On Friday night, with my wife out and him in bed, I mentioned it to him again. I told him that I'd worn one in the summer. He didn't believe me so I told him I had pictures to prove it. He asked to see them so I told him I'd show them to him on the Saturday when his mum was out for a drink with another friend who has just had a birthday.
Well Saturday morning arrived and my wife phoned our friend to confirm when they were going out. That was when my plans went pear-shaped. My wife came off the phone and said that she wasn't going out as our friend had a soar throat. She's been unwell this week and so it wasn't really surprising. They decided that they would go out another time.
Any idea that I had that I'd show my son the pictures from the summer went right out of the window as I wouldn't have any opportunity.
Later on we went out shopping and I had an idea. On Wednesday night my wife is going to be out at a church group we attend. I wont be going as I'm taking our son to see the new Harry Potter film. The good thing about doing that is I will be able to take the pictures with me and when we are on our way back, or back home if the film finishes early enough, I'll be able to show them to him and explain things. Not everything but at least some things.
If I can get him used to the idea of my female side then life will be a bit easier in someways but also a lot harder in others. I doubt if his mum will be deliriously happy about him knowing but then again I'm not happy about the idea of having to hide this side of me from him. In 4 to 6 years time, if my wife has her way, when I tell him about all this then he's going to wonder why I didn't tell him sooner. How much trust can a young adult have in a parent who has kept such a secret from them. My son trusts me so much. To find out that I have kept something this major from him for his whole life will be very difficult for him to comprehend. Best to start getting used to the idea now.

Danger – woodpecker at work
Tuesday 17th July – Sunshine!
How lovely to see the sun this morning – and I was not the the only one. there were lots of Meadow browns darting about as if their life depended on it. In fact that is no joke because the butterflies have suffered massively with this prolonged wet weather. Apparently the meadow brown is one of the few butterflies that is capable of flying in overcast weather. I have to say I did not observe any others out and about. Did see a deer rushing off though.
Spotted Flycatcher spotted
We have a spotted flycatcher nesting on the house, in a typical place for flycatchers between some creepers and the house brickwork. Could be offspring of previous summer visitors. Let's hope with the current terrible weather they find enough food. Two photographs; one of the nest with a bird staring out, one with the bird sitting on a nearby branch. Quality not good with photographs taken in the rain – there's a surprise!

Color palate.
I have always been an "old soul." On the rare days that I would not have swim/gymnastics/dance practice after school, I remember indulging in watching a guilty pleasure on PBS: Bob Ross.
Yep. Happy little clouds. Happy little trees. Happy little bushes.
Without even realizing it, this "Chuck Norris" of painting inspired me as a young child. I remember being mesmerized as I would watch him mix colors on his palette... to see one color transform literally before my adolescent eyes. This attention to color has been a pivotal spark when I create dishes.
Now granted, do most of us have time to plate a multi-course meal every single day? Absolutely not. Whether it is eating a sandwich on the metro, slurping soup in the car, knocking down a protein shake after hitting the gym or grazing on fruits and veggies throughout the day, food is generally treated as fuel in the majority of our lives. However, when you do have time to prepare a meal, I encourage you to take a few minutes and play with the presentation.
Happy little scallops. Happy little steak. Happy little potatoes.
Yep, I just went there.
How about happy little healthy scallop potatoes? Rather than lathering in heavy cream and cheese (good on occasion, but not every day diet), here is a healthier version:
Skinny Potato Gratin
5 medium peeled Yukon gold potatoes - sliced to about 1/8" thick
2 cups fat free milk
1 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese
2 garlic cloves - smashed and minced
1 Tbsp herbs de Provence
1 tsp smokey paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray an 10 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a small sauce pan, bring the milk, garlic, herbs de Provence, smokey paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and salt/pepper to a boil.
While the mixture is heating, peel and slice the Yukon potatoes (using a mandolin in order to achieve the thin slice... be careful with your fingers!) Arrange half of the potato slices in the baking dish; top with 1/2 cup cheese, then add the remaining potatoes. Once the milk mixture boils, carefully pour over the sliced potatoes. Top with remaining cheese and bake, uncovered until potatoes are tender (about 45 - 50 minutes). Be sure to rotate the potatoes while they are cooking, in order to ensure a balanced cooking throughout the pan.
Et puis, voila. As mentioned before, this is a healthier alternative. If enjoying in a fine-dining restaurant, you can be sure that heavy cream, full-fat cheese and butter would be the stars of the potato show. However, when consuming food on a daily routine, it is essential to nourish your body with healthy recipes.
"Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners." - Shakespeare

I came across Cinco de Mayo, although a day later. For those who do not know about Cinco de Mayo, what do you think you know about the world? (After I know about it I can say this ;))
Hold on, I will tell you what Cinco de Mayo is. While Cinco de Mayo is a celebration for Mexicans, it is celebrated alike by both Americans & Mexicans. It's a joyous celebration and commemorates a joyful moment in History of Mexico when Mexicans defended their independence against an insurmountable army in 1862 of Europe. It's a fiesta day in US and Mexico and more than 50% of Americans argue that it should be declared a holiday in the US too since its celebrated with equal enthusiasm as in Mexico. Well, I agree.
There is Singing, Dancing & Dinners all across Mexico on this special day and people exchange gifts.
So cheer up on this occasion and dance more cause that's one thing which make you forget the world and its worries. Happy Cinco de Mayo.

Photography & Creative Direction
Seb Camilleri was born, lives and works in London. He graduated with a master's of art from Central St Martins in 2008, and works primarily with photography and image making. He is also co-founder and co-creative director of SATORI magazine
Recurring themes explored by his work include the transient nature of spaces we inhabit and the application of phenomenology to architecture. He wishes to highlight the precious quality of buildings and places to which we attach our personal histories by drawing from his unique experiences and the study of specific effects which spaces, both urban and rural, have on the emotions and behaviour of individuals
This inquiry leads to a highly individualised and inward looking approach, resulting in the creation of new visual structures from these notions and his own memories

Tonight, I wanted a simple dinner that would be ready quickly and wouldn't require a big shopping trip, but would still take care of my hunger and leave me content. Luckily the dish I picked for Austria, Gröstl, fit that bill perfectly!
Perhaps the two most favorite foods from Austria are Wiener Schnitzel (a simple breaded meat cutlet, usually veal, garnished with lemon and parsley, and served with a simple salad or potatoes) and Apfelstrudel (a heavy dough filled with a spiced apple, raisin, and nut mixture, rolled up and shaped into a horseshoe, then baked). These are both delicious; I cook veal or pork cutlets prepared that way fairly often and I love all variations of apple streudel, or really any baked apple dessert. Gröstl, however, deserves some attention too. I imagine it's a great dish to eat after a long day of skiing, because it is super-packed with protein and carbs, and it's very filling. I like it with the traditional fried egg on top, because let's face it, a fried egg on top takes many dishes to that extra level.
I just loved this hearty and simple dish, equally suited to both breakfast and dinner. I threw in leftover baked salmon instead of the ham called for in the recipe. We loved it!
Gröstl (recipe from BBC Good Food)
2 T vegetable oil
5 strips of bacon, cut into small chunks (or lardons or cooked ham)
1 medium yellow onion, cut into small chunks
2 cups cooked potatoes, cold and cut into small chunks (I used a medley of fingerlings to give the dish some fun color)
1 t caraway seeds
1½ tsp sweet paprika
2 dashes red pepper sauce (I used sriracha)
1 small bunch parsley, roughly chopped
1-2 fried eggs, to top each serving
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the bacon and onion together for 5 mins until the bacon is golden. Lift out of the pan onto a plate, then add the potatoes and fry for 10 mins more until golden.
Add the caraway and paprika, season well, then fry for another min, stirring to release their fragrance.
Return the bacon and onion, taste for seasoning, then add the parsley. Stir to combine.
Serve hot topped with fried eggs.

Last night I was up till midnight making bags for Joshua's party at school today. Granna bought all the supplies for us to stuff the bags ..... and me and my Cricut Machine had a date last night as I cut out 22 little chickens to use for tags.
I think they turned out pretty cute and I know the kids will appreciate anything given to them, and of course Joshua always loves giving gifts to his friends.
I was so glad that my mom decided to buy this stuff for his friends, because when we got to school today, only one other mother had bought some cookies for the class. So, at least the kids will have one little gift to bring home with them today.

On April 2, 2012, this Court certified the following four questions to the Oregon Supreme Court pursuant to Or.Rev.Stat. § 28.200 and LU. 8345(a):
1. May an entity such as MERS, that is neither a lender nor successor to a lender, be a "beneficiary" as that term is used in the Oregon Trust Deed Act?
2. May MERS be designated as beneficiary under the Oregon Trust Deed Act where the trust deed provides that MERS "holds only legal title to the interests granted by Borrower in this Security Instrument, but, if necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (as nominee for Lender and Lender's successors and assigns) has the right: to exercise any or all of those interests"?
3. Does the transfer of a promissory note from the lender to a successor result in an automatic assignment of the securing trust deed that must be recorded prior to the commencement of nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings under ORS 86.735(1)?
4. Does the Oregon Trust Deed Act allow MERS to retain and transfer legal title to a trust deed as nominee for the lender, after the note secured by the trust deed is transferred from the lender to a successor or series of successors?
See Brandrup v. ReconTrust Co., Civ, No. 3:11–cv–1390–HZ (D.Or. Apr. 2, 2012) (doc. 20). To date, the Oregon Supreme Court has not issued a decision regarding the certified questions.
However, it is precisely these requirements, and others under the OTDA, that are designed to protect the borrower from the "unauthorized foreclosure and wrongful sale of property." Staffordshire, 209 Or.App. at 542, 149 P.3d 150 (emphasis added). I do not find that Oregon statutory requirements should be disregarded so easily. Thus, I proceed to the merits of plaintiff's claims.
Celestino v. Recontrust Co., N.A., 6:11-CV-6367-AA, 2012 WL 1805495 (D. Or. May 16, 2012)

So THEN I wanted to do something kind of crazy and see where it went. Because I'm not adventurous enough, or experienced enough, I stayed in a 4x4 and used the first 4 letters of my name [MICH]. Then I assigned those as a number value [13, 9, 3, 8] and then developed kind of a "mod" style number association where numbers could be negative and also higher than 26.
That is actually the finished square once I got everything to be SUPER magical and equal to 33. I tried to stay within 1-26 but it was basically impossible. I mean, is it actually impossible? Because the total was 33 so I need 24 combinations of addition expressions equal to 33 using only numbers 1-26, without repeating. So since I could NOT figure out how to do that (I'm sure there is a formula... I just can't figure out how to figure it out lol) I went to using negative numbers and numbers above 26. This led me to the above square... FINALLY without repeating - Well, technically I did repeat but when I tried to change it... I evened out all the rows, columns, and diagonals but then my quadrants and were not equal to 33 :( So I went with second best.
I subbed in the letter equivalents. However, you will notice that many of letters ended up repeating. So does this have something to do with the fact that I cycled them in a modular form... which I technically didn't even do correctly because I started A as 1 and not 0. At this point, you know I had to go back and try to fix it to be done the way it is supposed to and with a correct modular formation (because my growth mindset makes me). In this square, for the number portion I could NOT get it to be correct without repeating one number; same problem from the first time as well. However, with the letter portion, I was able to eliminate one of the repeated letters!
By default, the repeated number (12/M) would be a repeating letter but the only other letter that repeated was U when it was used as 20 and -6.
While these puzzles took a fair amount of time, going forward I would love to further research the patterns or formulas that go into making the squares "magic"... if there even is one. Based on my understanding of what math is though, I assume there must be a pattern. Reflecting on what was taking place during the activity was actually a lot of adding and subtracting. I roped my 7 year old into helping me with her birthday square, while she loves puzzles and math... it was a little over her head. She WAS however at least practicing adding 4 numbers up to equal a certain sum. So in that aspect, I believe there was educational value for her.

As the winter season comes, we have to think over our cozy outfit. It's quite often I hear people ask one another: Do hipsters wear Uggs? Yes, hipster wear Uggs. Today I want to share with you best ways how you can team these boots with your casual and street wear appropriate outfits. The most important part in every fashionista's wardrobe is the right balance of the look. I highly recommend you to keep your silhouette easy and relaxed, by choosing a loose-fit and oversized top, skinny leg pants and your favorite Uggs (which have exaggerated look). Here we see stunning Polyvore combinations which for sure will inspire you for this year:
This long cardigan will for sure make you noticed. Try it on with your ripped dark blue skinny jeans, slouchy grey beanie and light brown footwear. If you want to finish your look, then I advice to try on these vintage rounded glasses.
The hooded varsity jacket looks pretty awesome worn atop white tank with yellow smile face and paired with isle print leggings and grey footwear:
Here we see a loose-fit, knitted sweater worn atop skinnies and black boots:
The one shoulder grey sweater looks casual paired with ripped jeans and camel colored boots:
The high-waisted skinnies will for sure update your cropped daisy printed sweater. Keep the balance with your cozy, shearling lined Uggs:
The slouchy, long knitted pullover looks awesome paired with knitted skinny sweatpants, cream Uggs and pouch bag:
You can make it hipster-grunge inspired by pairing ripped skinny denim pants with flannel shirt and cable knit beanie:
Here we see kind of boho touch, which features pale blue colors and aztec zig-zag patterns:

Kuwait's National Assembly committee for financial and economic affairs has approved the privatisation of Kuwait Airways, state news agency KUNA reported.
"The approval was taken after both the Minister and Kuwait Airways Corporation (KAC) chairman gave written statements obliging them to present a three-year action plan," Communications Minister Safa Al Hashem said.
The committee also discussed the carrier's fleet, accidents, malfunctions, delays and employees' benefits, he added.
Kuwait's parliament first approved a plan to privatise the loss-making carrier in 2008 but the process has been repeatedly delayed.
The Gulf state's cabinet in April approved an amended draft law paving the way for the privatisation within three years but the plan still had to be approved by the National Assembly.
Under the proposed plans, Kuwait will offer a 35 percent stake in the carrier to companies on the country's stock exchange and to local or international firms, KUNA said in April. The government will retain a 20 percent stake while 5 percent will be distributed to KAC employees "equally and for free".
The remaining 40 percent will be allotted to citizens registered with the Public Authority for Civil Information, the Kuwaiti body that issues civil identity cards, it added.For all the latest GCC news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

***Watch WISN 12 News at 5, 6, & 10 p.m. for the latest on severe weather chances!***
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog. The forecast for the next few days is easy, but yet very difficult. It is not often that I can say this but here is what I mean. The easy part: there will be periods of showers and thunderstorms thru Wednesday, some possibly severe. Now the tough part: when will storms develop, where exactly will they move, and what is the timing?
The tricky part of the forecast has many questions associated with it. Let's try to break down the forecast and provide some answers.
The big issue with the forecast is where/when will a now stationary front lift north as a warm front and near southeast Wisconsin. I think that will occur on Tuesday. But as the front lifts north, showers and thunderstorms could flare up near the boundry. Below is the forecast surface map for Tuesday at 1 a.m. this shows the front lifting north as a warm front(in red). The green outlined areas are where a chance of thunderstorms exists.
Right now there is a chance of early morning showers/t-storms on Tuesday. So Monday Night into early Tuesday is one possible round.
As the front lifts north of our area, it will turn VERY WARM and HUMID on Tuesday. If we see several hours of sunshine, temperatures should make it to the mid to upper 80s in Milwaukee. If the sun does stay out for part of the afternoon, I think we need to watch for another round of thunderstorms to develop in the late afternoon or evening hours.
This is when some of the storm could be strong to severe. As we have been discussing for the last couple of days, there is a slight risk of severe weather from Monday Night thru Wednesday. Here is how the slight risk for our area has been broken down by the Storm Prediction Center for TUESDAY. Just click on the map to enlarge.
In our area there is a 15% chance of severe weather occurring within 25 miles of a point. A higher risk lies to our south over Illinois. We need to watch this closely, because this area may be over southern Wisconsin if conditions become more favorable for severe weather on Tuesday. As a note, severe weather forecasting is much more accurate the day of the possible storms. Many variables like cloud cover, wind direction, and temperature are unknowns until the day actually arrives.
The biggest threat with any storm that may turn severe would be damaging winds. Also we need to watch for hail and heavy rain. And we can never rule out a brief tornado, but the setup as of this writing favors strong winds and heavy rain.
With a round of storms possible later Tuesday and Tuesday evening, and then another possible round Wednesday, the rainfall totals could add up quickly.
Below is our in-house rainfall forecast from Monday Night thru Wednesday. Notice that some parts of southeast Wisconsin could see 2″-3″ of rain! Again, this would only occur if 2-3 thunderstorm complexes move through the area in that time span. Just click on the map to enlarge.
With the timing being very difficult for the storms, a great way to track them from the comfort of your home or office, is to use our interactive radar. You can zoom and move the radar wherever you would like.
If and when thundestorms develop, we would love to see your weather pictures. Just post them to the U-Local section of WISN.com When we get pictures we love to show them on WISN 12 News. That's it for now, look for the most updated forecast on WISN 12 News at 5, 6, & 10 p.m. and if severe weather strikes, we will immediately break into programming to give you the information.
Have a great day!

The UN is looking at taxing football games
The concept of the United Nations was a good idea; at least in the beginning; kinda like labor unions. World leaders getting together to discuss problems and offer solutions and perhaps aid. I get that.
to allow the UN to dictate to the citizens of the USA how they will control firearms? Not only no, but HELL NO.
This BS about Agenda 21? that supposedly will be fully implemented by what: 2032? screw that.
The United Nations taxes tickets sold to football games? What's next? Rock concerts? yes.
It's bad enough that good citizens are being pushed into a big corner by the administration, but to be further cornered by a foreign country? It's kinda like your neighbor's dad telling you to mow his yard after you pick up the dogshit. NFW, dude.
obamski welcomed the UN pushing its gun control agenda on the US because he would not get reamed for it by the populace.
Not gonna happen; at least peacefully.
The American West is being carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey. The BLM and EPA are making great progress in moving people out of rural areas in deference to Agenda 21 and the globalist desire to move everyone into stack and pack cities. In fact this planned relocation has genocide as its hallmark trait.
From here
The Common Sense Show IMO is borderline too far right for X. They dance on X's limit.

I started to post the other day to tell you that my daughter gagged on every liquid med except Amoxicillin. We had a pediatrician when she was about 4 who told me to buy some mini M and M's and get her to learn to swallow them without chewing with a little water. It didn't take long at all and I don't think she's taken a liquid med since. Jing might be a little young but it is worth working on! I am glad she has done so well. God's love is so healing in so many ways.ReplyDelete

Ochaya is just a footballer from the slums of Banda, but even the more privileged who were told that they would get jobs if they went to university are very jobless.
Joseph Benson Ochaya is moving to Lusaka Dynamos where it is reported that he will pocket a cool Shs25m per month, while KCCA get a consideration of Shs432m. For KCCA that money is more than they get from StarTimes per year.
Of course, it is easy to dismiss these sums as peanuts, especially if we insist on using the bloated transfer markets in Europe as a yardstick.
And maybe given the various interests that clout such deals, neither will all this money fall into KCCA pockets, nor even be enough to meet all its budgetary requirements.
On the other, more personal hand however, Ochaya has just moved into the same income bracket as the directors of top parastatals. Not bad for a boy from Kireka-Banda.
And that is the thing about this transfer. To appreciate it we need to contextualise it alongside the realities that Ochaya is moving away from, rather than those we believe he should be getting into.
And the dark realities of the youth today, both footballers and non-footballers are those of massive underemployment, low pay, over qualification and poor working conditions. And that is if you find the job.
Ochaya is just a footballer from the slums of Banda, but even the more privileged who were told that they would get jobs if they went to university are working jobs with no relevance to their degrees. These stories are common and it doesn't take a genius to see a link between the despair of today's youth and a life of crime and other vices like drug-abuse and gambling.
But it is gambling, a pet subject and a recent but worrying development, that I wish to turn to
It is easy for us to tell the youth to forget gambling and get gainfully employed, and I will be the first to put up my hand as one of those people who have politicised gambling.
But the fact is that it has become normalized, by a combination of economic hardships and in your face advertising.
In such circumstances, one thousand shillings bet seems like cheap fun. But like many former boda-boda owners will confess, what starts as a harmless 'why not?' attitude soon becomes an exercise in futility as the frantic search for small money never catches up with hurting economic prospects.
The already vulnerable are more likely to become addicted and to further seek their fix in gambling, creating a vicious cycle of depression and anxiety.
So, the adverts may tell us gambling can be done responsibly, but if society wants to be responsible, it needs to create an environment that enable youth like Ochaya to rise from the bottom. It doesn't insulate them from human weakness, but it gives them choice.
I guess what I am trying to say is; if we are fast running out of means to address the unemployment issue among our youth, why don't we try investing in sport? I don't see that we have done a lot of that recently or even ever.

Like many secrets, mine began innocently.
I was rather surprised to find a store like Secrets as I drove through Sunny Harbor, a sleepy South Florida neighborhood of retirees. Yet I found myself drawn into the small shopping plaza toward Secrets' seductively lit storefront display.
I entered the shop and was immediately dismayed to find a man behind the counter. I would have felt far more comfortable with a woman. The front of the store was filled with intimate garments, but I'd never seen lingerie like this before. It made Victoria's Secret look like a Sears catalog as far as being interesting or racy.
Most of the clothes at Secrets were made of either leather or completely sheer fabric, and covered with studs or rhinestones. The garments were designed with openings conveniently located anywhere you might want a part of your body exposed. In fact, you wouldn't have to remove a single item of clothing to complete any bodily function while wearing one of these outfits.

Highlights of this issue:
Quotation of the Week
Soul Friends
The Voice of a Different Kindred Spirit Each Week
Harriet ReeseAurora, Illinois
After my husband passed away, I was searching for a new meaning to life.
I accidently came across Seena's book and I knew "SoulCollage" was for me.
It was a perfect way to incorporate my love of collage and my need to find my life purpose.
Little did I know, it would also help with my grieving (see below).
After making my first card, I knew I was hooked! I was in total awe of the process and how it made me connect to my sub-conscious and how it made me aware of deep rooted issues and feelings. Often, I would look at my finished card and wonder where it came from. ME OF COURSE!
SoulCollage® has been in my life for eight years and I intend to continue using it forever. I have participated in a few gatherings and I've shared the process with many of my friends.
I love searching for images. My collection has grown by leaps and bounds and I know it will keep on growing. I'm sure every image I have cut out has a message not yet understood or discovered.
My best advice for anyone just starting out is to LET GO AND LET GOD! Quiet your inner critic and trust yourself.
Here are 2 of my SoulCollage® cards:
I am the one who needs to mourn.
I am the one who needs to break down.
I am the one who needs to show the world I CAN cry.
I am the one who needs to say good-bye.
I am the one always searching for the truth.
I am the one who needs to explore.
I am the one who needs to know.
I am the one who needs answers.
I am the one who is forever on a quest for the hidden.

Auntie Harriet and Leo
Had my family over yesterday. Lots of food and fun!
Check out Leo's eyes! So big and round. He's a beautiful child.
It feels good to hold a baby. It's been a long time.

Its no secret we love Central Market. We made sure to do our meal planning early so we could do some of our grocery shopping prior to leaving Houston. I really did not need an excuse to go back... even if we did not need groceries, we would have made a trip for the samples and all the new products.
Some of the wonderful things we bought this time included:
garlic and rosemary roaste porkloin for sandwiches
mustard crusted salami
pumpernickel break
wine... of course!
and sandwiches to eat on the trip home
Oh Central Market, how I wish you were closer to me everyday!

My Acer Aspire One was delivered last night by a congenial and highly-trained courier attired in a familiar brown uniform. I've had most of the night to set up a few things and play around with it but I pissed a lot of that time away sleeping.
The specs are similar to other Windows-oriented netbooks. It has an Intel Atom processor churning along at 1.6 Ghz, a pleasant 8.9″ screen with 1024×600 resolution, 120 GB hard drive, 1 GB RAM, integrated webcam, and Windows XP (Home). What led me to choose it over other netbooks, though, was the three USB ports and two card readers (one of which is a hold over from the initial Linux version with SSHD and in which an SD card could be added to expand the base 4 GB storage). I figure the more the merrier. Especially considering how much of my primary computer's files had to be moved to USB storage since I knew I'd be away from home for weeks/months.
Funny, this tiny thing is now my most powerful computer.
- Dang, this thing is light. I may break down and buy the optional six-cell battery to bulk it up a bit but so far I'm just happy having a couple hours between charges.
- I can't say enough about all the USB ports and two card readers. It means not having to carry around a hub to use a few devices (think mouse plus USB stick plus card reader plus headphones/microphone) simultaneously.
- Webcam is very low-light friendly. I was astonished that our Christmas tree was sufficient from across the room to give a clearly visible stream when chatting with friends last night (no other lights were on).
- The 8.9″ screen is crisp and clear.
- Wifi is Atheros so it should function well (and painlessly) with my preferred operating systems.
- Windows XP boots in just a few seconds.
- Keyboard is bigger (I think) than Eee but still kind of awkward for my huge hands.
- Comes with quite a bit of trial software like any other new computer will these days.
- A bit noisier than I thought it would be. It rivals my 10 year-old ThinkPad.
- Speaker is on bottom. Earplugs fix that issue.
- The synaptics touchpad has divided right-left mouse buttons on either side of the pad. The pad also comes a little too hyper for my tastes — especially now that I've had some caffeine. I have portable USB mice because I detest touchpads, so no big deal. Why can't netbooks come with mouse pointers like my trusty old ThinkPad has? That would free up so much space for other things, including proper navigation keys (another nit to pick but what else can be said beyond the first point above) and give users something that's a lot more functional. YMMV, I guess.
- Only Windows XP boots.
Overall I'm really happy with it. Because I'm still on a schedule that precludes much time for myself, I have no idea when I'll get around to attempting installation of OpenBSD or Linux on this. I'll probably give DSL on USB stick a shot first. Just noticed Robert has made some updates since I last had a chance to update my DSL stuff; hell, I haven't even had time to upgrade OpenBSD to 4.4 on my other laptop (let alone computers back at home).
One more update from previous post: My timeline still looks like I'll be here taking care of family through the start of 2009.

So magic in Edolas is very limited. I would not want to have to control the amount of magic that I able to use. Then again it makes it more realistic for people that like that stuff. But unfortunately that is not what I want out of anime. I want anime to be outrageous and funny because it something that I use to escape from life. I have gotten off topic. '
Apparently Natsu keeps forgetting that he can not use magic like he does normally. But wait normal Lucy shows up and she is able to use her magic. How in the hell does that happen? I want know if she would have been able to use one of her spirits to track down Natsu and gang faster? Loki seems like he would have been a good fit for that job.
I think Edolas Lucy has a thing for Natsu. She is so Tsundere. I can't wait for the first between Erza Knightwalker and any one of the remaining Fairy Tail to happen. I especially want regular Erza to show up and kick her ass.

Showcasing in the White House for Haiti Flag Day*
It was an honorable beautiful experinance to be there in the White House touring the West Wing, seeing my art hanging, meeting those it was helping, watching Michelle standing tall in grace a smile exouding all sorts of love and possiblity.

Touch of your hand, I would agree, and I will forget your away
How love is written, it divided my heart in 3 parts, a heart that loves you
a heart that melts for you, and a heart that is jealous!
Take me in your hands, take care of me, make me feel your presence
I don't the value of my eye, until my eyes see you
Promise that you will be by me, and promise me that you won't seperate
My soul, my eyes, my heart were made to love you!
If I don't stay by you, and on your shoulder I didnt sleep...
It means that I haven't lived my life, and I haven't been born in this world

Well, I feel that now spring has (maybe??) arrived in Northern Michigan!! The weather reached a scorching 50 degrees yesterday and the snow is finally melting. I debated starting up the grill and cleaning my windows, but that is too much spring cleaning for our first warmer day in what seems like YEARS!! I definately got a lot done around the house and thought I'd share some pics. I pulled out some springtime decor, brighter colors and more vintage items. Away with the darker heavy winter colors. We need some cheer around here!! A long list of items to be finished around the house before summer and the garage sale season hits!! yeah, I can't wait!!
Grandma's dishes and some cute bunny napkin rings look very "spring-ish" in my kitchen china cabinet. Love all of the pink in the springtime!! The pic of the birds nest is an abandoned birdie home I found in my yard a couple of years ago and I think it may be one of my favorite spring decor items, along with my painted wooden eggs!!
I made a trip to Goodwill this weekend and got this cute teal vase for $1.99 and then headed over to the dollar store for some fake pink peonies to fill it with... not bad for 3 bucks, don't ya think??
Feeling crafty this weekend, I got to go into town ALONE and without kids!! I found this cute green canister at Goodwill for a sweet $1.99, these melamine pink bowls at target for .98 a piece!! ( I bought six of them ) and the fabrics I got at Joanne's to make some pillows for my girls bedrooms.. still working on that. This warm weather sure has me motivated and I wish the same for you!!

We have already shared with you that the prophecies states that the USA is of 'no account'.
There is also news that a man-eating Leopard has killed 15 people. Most of them children. [2] Has we know the Leopard is mentioned in the book of Daniel and Rev 13. The Leopard was given power for 42 months. However, a month in mystical Judaism can be a year. So have you got Obama for 42 years?
The USA was given the 'Eye of the Tiger' from the film 'Rocky', as a theme tune to help them in 2008. At that time we informed the Americans that a 'Leopard is no match for a Tiger'. So did they look for the Tiger? Jill Stein was born in the Chinese Year of the Tiger, and is the leader of the Green Party. The gematria of her name is also the same value has 'Eye of the Tiger'. However, the Americans did not wish to hear what we were sharing with them. Has I understand it, the female vote is what won it for Obama. So how did the Americans not understand the hearts of the women, and where they were coming from? Why did they not support a woman for President? The LORD God sent his mercy to help them, and that is why mercy was sent to give them the 'Eye of the Tiger' theme tune.
The Ron Paul supporters also warned the Republicans that they could not win without them. Many of those Ron Paul supporters were women.
So what else does it say in the Amos prophecy?

A few website updates have been uploaded this weekend. I've tried to work through some of the backlog of photos taken during the Games and also add pages for those sponsors who had not appeared so far.
You will now find pages for the following sponsors...
Jet Set

There are also some minor updates to the LOCOG Internal list as well as a page dedicated to Torch Relay (Retail and Sponsor) pins.
There are still lots of updates to come but I took some time today to add the new structure. The new pages have some details, but there are still images and details to come.

Photographing and recording all of the 70 odd Torch Relay day pins must have been a "FUN" chore. Great Work as usual.
Happy Christmas to you and the Girls.

I wish I could claim credit for having done that! They were the Honav images. I still need to photograph the actual pins!!
