– Peter Polansky and Brayden Schnur both advanced on Thursday at ATP Challenger event
– The pair will face off in an all-Canadian quarter-final on Friday at Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club
– No. 1 seed Nicole Gibbs of USA still in contention in women's draw
Two Canadians secured spots in the Winnipeg National Bank Challenger quarter-finals following Thursday's action. However, the Canadian content will soon be reduced to one player, as Peter Polansky and Brayden Schnur are set to square off on Friday at the combined men's and women's $75,000 ATP Challenger and $25,000 ITF Pro Circuit Challenger event running from July 10-16 in Winnipeg.
No. 2 seed Polansky advanced with a straight-sets win over Alex Rybakov. Polansky defeated the American qualifier 6-4, 6-4 in one hour and 17 minutes at the Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club. The 29-year-old Canadian recorded seven aces in the contest to move on from the second round.
Next up for Polansky is former University of North Carolina tennis star Schnur. The No. 7 seed was also in action on Thursday, and advanced with a 6-4, 6-4 victory of his own, ousting British qualifier Luke Bambridge. The match was completed in a clean 90 minutes, and Schnur was strong on serve and did not allow his 22-year-old opponent an opportunity to break.
World No. 127 Polansky and No. 233 Schnur will now face off for a place in the semifinals. In their professional careers, they have only played each other once before, with Schnur earning a three-set win back in 2013.
In other action, Canadian wild card Samuel Monette fell in a closely-fought contest versus Japan's Yusuke Takahashi 7-5, 2-6, 6-2. Despite the loss, it was a strong performance for the 22-year-old, who recorded a huge upset 6-0, 6-1 against No. 5 seed Hiroki Moriya of Japan in the opening round.
Top seed Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia is also through to the quarter-finals as is No. 4 Yasutaka Uchiyama of Japan, in a draw that has seen four of the Top 8 seeds fall before the round of eight.
In the women's competition at the Winnipeg National Bank Challenger, all Canadians have been eliminated at the $25,000 ITF Pro Circuit event, with both Aleksandra Wozniak and Carol Zhao falling in the second round.
No. 1 seed Nicole Gibbs remains at the top of the draw, triumphing 7-5, 7-5 over fellow American Ronit Yurovsky on Thursday to advance to the semifinals. Ranked as high as world No. 68 a year ago, Gibbs is currently No. 117. She will next face France's Jessika Ponchet.
Qualifier Alexandra Mueller of the United States upset fellow American Danielle Lao 6-7(6), 7-6(5), 7-6(3) in a marathon match. Mueller fought back after losing the opening set in the tiebreak to the No. 3 seed, forcing a decider and eventually finalizing the win after four hours and one minute of competition. She moves on to face No. 5 seed Mayo Hibi of Japan.
The Winnipeg National Bank Challenger is a combined $100,000 professional men's and women's tournament, and runs from July 10-16 at Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club. Complete scores, full draws, and more information can be found on the official tournament website.

Pine Siskins
This weekend the Pine Siskins returned ...... normally we have had them around for a while by this stage of the winter but one assumes that with the warm weather and apparent abundance of food still out in the wild their need to visit the mageoires is diminshed. Nice to se them back - a fine little bird.
Also, Sunday morning, we several times heard the Carolina Wren(s) calling and briefly saw them too .......... either they are much more prepared to appear at the feeders alongside other birds this year or else the population is building up enough that we are seeing several birds at different times. Bodes well for the future.

Cookie's ear still didnt clear up. No improvement as compare wif yesterday - Monday.
Since the steriod stop on Sunday, Monday morning could see slight improvement. But at Monday nite, the patches of reddness did not improved.
This morning, her ear are stil the same as yesterday. And today is already the 4th day liao. Vet say its should be gone by 5th day or soo....but its not like the case. I m getting impatient or rather i m losing my faith on this vet and the med she is taking now.
Been tinking abt this the whole morning:
Our company had two appointed medical clinic which we can chose to go and the fees will be charge direct to the company.
One of which is the famous R*ff*le* clinics where by all neighbourhood should have one while the other is THE MING CLINIC located at camden medical centre.
All of us - staffs knew that the MING CLINIC is a "high class" clinic where by many rich people or ang mo goes there.
And each time we visit, even if we are just down wif a common flu, our bills are not cheap.
I would say its easier cost double of the other clinic. Of course, the med given is also so called "Branded kind". More expensive and effective med. And well, most of us get recover faster when we visited MING CLINIC as compare when we visited the other wan.
There is a different in term of prices and effect.
Back to cookie sickness. This morning, friends ard me starting telling me that mayb i should start to brin cookie for 2nd opn to a 2nd vet since she is not fulli recover yet.
Yes, i tink i should. So i ask ard for advises on vet.
I ask ard two friends both told me to go ARC: one to Dr Eugene as Dr Lye price is high
Another wan suggest i should go Dr Lye.
So i called both clinic up and arrange for a possible appt.
Some how when i called Dr Eugene clinic - no one pick up so next i try Dr Lye.
Assistance were nice and manage to slot me in for this cuming Thurday. I was told the consulation fee only is $80 already.
This Thursday will prob burn a big hole on my pocket but friends i m desperate already.
i reali hope prices reali could make a different in the end result cos i m prepare and willing to pay. Now, all i wish for is for her to be well soon, for the reddness to be gone totali. This allergy is causing cookie to be so moody for so many days already and its breaking me down.
Cookie, pls be well soon. Mummy is feeling so heartpain for the many days already.

Use Coconut Oil To Deal With Your AcneWrinkles are the most apparent signs of getting older skin. They hassle women so much, that other skin issues that come with age, frequently go unnoticed. Balancing frantic function life with house leaves them with no time to care for their pores and skin. Most obvious aging indicators like wrinkles are detected early and easily and that generally follows a buying spree for deep wrinkle elimination creams.
Fantasy Mint Wash really does provide some terrific results. After using it for just 1 week, there was a noticeable alter in my skin. It was a lot smoother and softer, however I nonetheless had a few blemishes right here and there. It certainly isn't as potent as Wooosh!, but it definitely does smell much better.
A glowing and wholesome skin very best reflects your internal and exterior elegance. When it comes to pores and skin care products, we generally think of cold lotions and anti aging creams. However the range of pores and skin care goods is extremely big. Skin treatment includes the care for entire physique not just faces or neck or hands which individuals see.
When it comes to your regular well being and Sugaring Seattle, you may have to reconsider a couple of your favourite items. Because the climate throughout the wintertime is a lot different than the climate throughout the rest of the year, your pores and skin will require products that are formulated for tough winter season winds and intense colds.
Keep issues as uncluttered as feasible. Make certain throw rugs aren't slippery on hardwood flooring. They sell special double sided tape to secure rugs in location. Avoid furnishings with sharp corners and edges. these can be padded to prevent bumps and bruises. read more Avoid glass desk tops as they can be strike and shattered.
3) Keep your hair out of your encounter. Your hair has natural oils, and hair treatment products frequently include oils and alcohol. The liquor can damage your pores and skin, and all of those oils can seep into pores on your encounter and cause zits.
In fact elegance care is the part of well being treatment. Only wholesome body can appear beautiful. A complete routine of balanced diet, exercise and use of superb quality beauty will definitely yield positive results even in short span of time.

I'll admit that I haven't read Richard Clarke's book, but I did hear him interviewed on Fresh Air, and I also heard part of his testimony to the 9/11 commission. I have also read the press briefing released by the Bush Administration in the hope of smearing him. And I am aware of the accusations that he is hopelessly partisan, wants to make money, etc., ad nauseum.
But when I hear Clarke speak, he is far more nuanced and far more balanced than his critics pretend. His worst claims about both the Bush and Clinton administrations have been previously aired by others. And his critics never, ever focus on the facts of Administration actions and policies before 9/11. As Peter R. Neumann notes in today's Times:
Consider an article in the January/February 2000 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine by Condoleezza Rice, titled "Campaign 2000 — Promoting the National Interest." Ms. Rice, spelling out the foreign policy priorities of a Bush White House, argued that after years of drift under the Clinton administration, United States foreign policy had to concentrate on the "real challenges" to American security. This included renewing "strong and intimate relationships" with allies, and focusing on "big powers, particularly Russia and China." In Ms. Rice's view, the threat of non-state terrorism was a secondary problem — in her to do list" it was under the category of "rogue regimes," to be tackled best by dealing "decisively with the threat of hostile powers."A week before 9/11, various Republicans were advancing White House policy by declaring the immediate necessity of a multi-billion dollar "missile defense" system, while key Democrats, perhaps most notably Joe Biden, were asserting that the much greater risk was of a terrorist attack.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that there was relatively little interest in Al Qaeda when the Bush team took over. For most of 2001, the national security agenda really consisted of only two items, neither of which had anything to do with the terrorist threat of radical Islam. First, the administration increased its efforts to bring about regime change in Iraq, which was believed to be the prime source of instability in a region of great strategic importance. ... The second goal was a more competitive stance toward China.
To date, the only hard factual assertion the Bush Administration challenged has been Clarke's claim that he met with the President on September 12. After insisting time and time again that he was lying about that meeting, the White House has revised its story: "We are not denying such a meeting took place. It probably did.". Oh yes - and after Dick Cheney insisted that Clarke didn't know what he was talking about because he was "out of the loop", Condoleezza Rice had to set the record straight.
The most concerted attack on Clarke is now that he supposedly (may have) contradicted himself - with the accusation coming from Bill Frist, who later admitted that he didn't even know if there were contradictions at all, let alone any of a serious nature - but his critics don't even bother to call on the Bush Administration to disclose the facts which would definitively establish if Clarke is right or wrong. Dennis Hastert claims that some members of the 9/11 commission already have Clarke's former testimony. If that is true, obviously nobody on the 9/11 commission will be misled by any discrepancies, real or imagined. And we have the latest idiotorial on the subject from David Brooks, where Clarke is condemned because he praised the Bush Administration for taking certain anti-terrorist actions - which, apparently, means that he can't criticize any other acts or policies which he might regard as failures or shortcomings - and because Brooks thinks he is more critical of the Bush Administration's failures than of the Clinton Administration's, although Brooks does not dispute that Clarke documents the failures of both administrations. That's it, folks - that's the indictment.
And yes - that means that while the prior testimony was "too sensitive" to even disclose to the full committee before Clarke's testimony, it is suddenly not worthy of such classification when the Bush Administration decides it may help with their very public smear campaign against Clarke. National security, it seems, takes a back seat to the Bush Administration's smear campaigns. (In fairness, there is an alternative hypothesis - the Bush Administration has maintained as classified many documents highly relevant to the commission's investigation in order to conceal the true record, despite there being no present need to maintain them as classified documents, and thus feels no national security concern about releasing various parts of that record for public relations purposes.)
So it appears that again we are offered by the Bush Administration selected snippets of selected documents, the bulk of which remain classified, meant to distract us from the facts. And Condoleezza Rice will testify... well, not really testify, but she will answer certain questions... in private... as long as she doesn't have to swear to tell the truth. And they dare suggest that Clarke is the deceptive one?
"I don't know necessarily what the difference is" between a private interview and public testimony, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. "She's going to tell it exactly how it happened," he said.Well, gee, Scott.... Perhaps you are that stupid, but the rest of us can tell the difference between a private interview and sworn, public testimony.
The worst offense to some Administration insiders, apparently, is that Clarke had the courage to do what they have refused to do for more than two years - he apologized. The nerve of the man.
I know - everybody and his brother's talking about this. But it was bugging me, so I vented.

When I travel, I always meet locals. I usually try to spot where they go and what they do, for I'd like to fully understand how they live. That's the point in traveling, I think.
How would you imagine people who went through one of the most horrible massacres of all times while you were probably watching some tv series on your couch? How would you think they would look at you, foreigner, who didn't move one finger to make it stop?
I would imagine them as reluctant, angry, introverse, slightly rude, maybe. And I wouldn't even blame them for being so.
Surprise, surprise, here in Saraj, they're everything but what I just described. They laugh, they smile, they enjoy life and they never loose time to do so. Never. They take profit from what they have. And trust me when I say that here, they really do have a lot to profit from.
Bosnians are warm and passionate people, charming, kind and generous. They talk a lot, even if they don't know you at all. For exemple, I love talking to taxi drivers. They tell you their life, what they've been doing and why they love it here. And if you ask me, yes, all taxi drivers love their city.
What is enchanting here, it's that people love smiling. They do it for no reason, to anyone. It really reminds me of home. Now, you might complain about me using these kinds of clichés. Well, they're not clichés, or at least I don't take them too much into consideration. I have been traveling around since I was a kid, and I just statistically impressed in my mind the customs of the people I met. And I statistically analysed the results. Here people smile more often. In the southern part of Europe, people tend to be louder, to laugh more, to be more extrovert, more passionate, more impulsive. No offense to anyone. These characteristics can be positive or negative, that's up to you to decide. I just describe things as I observe them through my eyes, you have the right not to agree with me.
In any case, back to the topic.
To be completely honest with you, some of the poeple here don't smile in the first place. You can see them in the road staring at you, they're usually old and tired. The moment they see you in the street, they immediately know you're not a sarajevan. You don't need to fear them, though. Instead, you have to try approching them. You can start by a "Dobar dan, kako ste?".. you'll see one of the most beautiful smiles you have ever seen. Their eyes sparkle as they hear that you are really trying to talk in their own language, and the message arrives straight to their heart.
"Dobro, hvala. Kako si ti?"

It's strange how things work out
It's strange how things work out.
Back when I was in Junior High School if you'd told me that many years later (okay…many…MANY years later) I'd have some expertise in the field–the craft–of poetry I'd've said you were nuts. Or If you'd told me I'd be reading poems on the radio or that I'd have a few poems published or that I'd actually give talks about poets and their poetry I'd have told you there was a better chance of my being President or a brain surgeon. Granted I'd scored pretty high In English aptitude but I hated the way poetry was "taught" back then. Well, to start, it wasn't taught, it was drilled into us. Every year we'd have to memorize vast chunks of Shakespeare's plays or some god awful poems by guys who were long dead. I hated rote learning and soon got a reputation for being difficult because I refused to play along. I refused to cram that stuff into my head. I saw no point to it. I still don't.
It wasn't until I got to College and took a class on the poetry of Walt Whitman that I began to fall in love with the art. When I wandered into that classroom and heard the words "I sing the body electric…" my ears, my eyes and my mind opened to poetry for the first time.
It was a time in my life when everything around me, myself included, was "singing electric". I didn't stick with poetry at that time–too many things to do, to discover and experience–but at least my heart had been opened to it. It wouldn't be until many years later, when I started doing my radio show, "Graffiti", that I again opened myself up to the joys of poetry.
Recently I was asked to participate in an event dedicated to poetry, music and ecology. The name of the event was The Green Fuse (click here for video) and it was organized by a group I'm closely associated with in Stamford, CT called PoemAlley. I'd decided that Whitman, even after more than a hundred years, spoke the words best suited for such a celebration.
This past Thursday I decided to continue the celebration and dedicate the May 6 edition of "Graffiti" to the arrival of Spring and all the things we associate with the season.
I opened with…
I sing the body electric….
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Those lines comes from Book 4 of Leaves of Grass, the book entitled: Children of Adam. From here I bounced through different passages of the poem and choose the verses that I thought best exemplified the ideals of the season: Love. The Sun. Faith in renewal.
I am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul,
The pleasures of heaven are with me and the pains of hell are with me,
The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate
into new tongue.
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man,
And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man,
And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of men.
Book 3 (Song of Myself) verse 21
Now if a thousand perfect men were to appear it would not amaze me,
Now if a thousand beautiful forms of women appear'd it would not
astonish me.
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons,
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
Book 7 (Song of the Open Road) verse 6
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars,
And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg
of the wren,
And the tree-toad is a chef-d'oeuvre for the highest,
And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven,
And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery,
And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue,
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
Book 3 (Song of Myself) verse 31
My voice goes after what my eyes cannot reach,
With the twirl of my tongue I encompass worlds and volumes of worlds.
Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself,
It provokes me forever…
Now I will do nothing but listen,
To accrue what I hear into this song, to let sounds contribute toward it.
Book 3 (Song of Myself) parts of verse 25 & 26
A Song of Joys
O to make the most jubilant song!
Full of music–full of manhood, womanhood, infancy!
Full of common employments–full of grain and trees.
O for the voices of animals–O for the swiftness and balance of fishes!
O for the dropping of raindrops in a song!
O for the sunshine and motion of waves in a song!
O the joy of my spirit–it is uncaged–it darts like lightning!
It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time,
I will have thousands of globes and all time.
Book 11 (A Song of Joys)
From there I went on to read from various Greek poets including Cavafy, Seferis, Katzantzakis, Elytis and Sappho. I also played "Home At Last" from Steely Dan's great disk, Aja. The lyrics evoke the tale of Odysseus being tied to the mast of his ship as he passed by the Sirens.
These are the books I read from during this program:
The Modern Library edition of Leaves of Grass with an introduction by William Carlos Williams.
Stung with Love, Poems and Fragments by Sappho translated by Aaron Poochigian.
Greece In Poetry, edited by Simoni Zafiropoulos.
C.P. Cavafy: Collected Poems, translated by Keeley and Sherrard, edited by Savidis.
The bodies of the two books listed above bulge with strips of paper marking cherished poems–that, and constant usage, have rendered them nearly unrecognizable.
The next volume is well on it's way to becoming like its companions above: The Greek Poets: Homer to the Present. For more about this volume see my earlier posting: Graffiti, January 14, 2010–a conversation with Peter Constantine. This is a conversation about The Greek Poets…Peter was one of its editors.
Other then Steely Dan I used music composed by Eleni Karaindrou (Elegy of the Uprooting) and Manos Hadjidakis (Gioconda's Smile).

You know my shame still You call me beautiful
After Beyond Week, there was one week of school for the Littles before Spring Break. We had another bad cutting incident that week, which was a bit traumatic for some of the girls. It's hard to see how one girl's actions affect the other girls so much. However, I know that the Lord is working in the midst of these difficult situations, its just hard to watch the girls wrestle with so much. I just pray that they come to know the Lord more and that He will grace them with understanding in their pain. I asked to speak in chapel - which happens Thursday mornings with the Littles, Bigs and staff. I was going to talk about being different, but I might talk about suffering and why God allows and sometimes brings difficulties into our lives. We shall see...
As for Spring Break, most of the girls went home for the 10 day break. Some stayed here though because they can't go home on the first break - so we had about 6-7 of the newer girls around property. I enjoyed taking some of the girls to the airport to drop them off! It was a fun time with them and I feel like a parent sorta. I was here for about 3 days of break. The first night we went to see The Princess and the Frog before everyone left and then we went out for pizza another night. One day we went roller skating, another day we were going to the zoo, but we couldn't find it, so we went downtown to a mall and then got ice cream. I left the next morning for my spring break and drove to Texas!!! :)
I spent the next 5 days in Texas visiting friends, celebrating my mom's birthday, enjoying all my favorite things in Austin - including going to Mt. Bonnell to spend some sweet time with the Lord. I even got to have lunch with one of the Littles who lives in Texas. The weather in Austin was so perfect and absolutely beautiful! The time I was able to spend with friends was so encouraging and such a blessing from the Lord. I got to see people I hadn't planned on and loved every minute! :) On Sunday I went to Austin Stone (oh how I miss that place & the people) and then drove up to Memphis. One of my friends from camp last summer happened to be there on a mission trip that week - so I met her at her hotel and caught up with her for a couple hours! I was so excited! Then, Monday was my brother's birthday, and also the day Aubrey, his wife and my amazing sister-in-law, was scheduled to be induced. I didn't get to spend much time with them unfortunately, and I left Memphis on Monday 2 hours before my nephew was born. BUT Bradley McKray Laws was born at 5:25pm and weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. Yay! So excited. I can't wait to meet him! Hopefully I can take a weekend off soon to go visit. I am so excited for my brother and sister and can't believe I am an aunt! :) My parents were in Memphis the same time, so I got to spend some good time with them. I love my family so much! My spring break was amazing and I praise God for it all!
Now I am back in Missouri and its been a bit rough getting back into the swing of things. The girls had a lot to talk about from break - and a lot of crazy things happened with things on property while I was gone, but I think I am used to things always being unpredictable. Thankfully, I feel pretty calm during things, though sometimes I question why I am so calm when everything around me is not - but I'm grateful for His peace that transcends understanding! :)
When I got back from break I found out that one of the Littles was leaving on Friday. On break her family decided she was ready to go home, and so they came to pick her up yesterday. She is an awesome girl who is so strong and really cares for all the Littles an Bigs around here. She is also so much fun and just great to have here. Thursday night we had a goodbye group for her, where we had a chance to tell her what she meant to us and she talked to everyone. It was a tearful time, but also filled with lots of laughter and love. She affirmed everyone in the house, which was so incredible. I am excited for her to go home because I know she is going to do great things, but she will also be greatly missed. It's hard to say good-bye, but I realize that will happen several times while I am here. You love and then have to let go - it hurts, but its the best way. Love hard, hurt hard - but its all worth it in the end.
Today its been snowing all day - crazy! The weather all week has been so pretty and beautiful - like spring! Until we got a lot of snow last night. Happy First Day of Spring with snow! I spent the morning taking all the recycling to the recycling center, going to Wal-Mart to pick things up for the girls, and then going to Walgreens to pick up meds. Now its nice to be inside and rest a little bit. :)
Thats a summary of things here - I probably missed some things because so much goes on everyday - I don't even know how to keep track of it all. Pray for the Lord to make Himself known here, and for the girls to come to know Him more. He is the only one who can make change happen and to really have an impact in the lives of everyone here. I know He is faithful and His love is what we all need. Also pray that God would really bring us together as Bigs. I miss you all! Thanks for your prayers, support and encouragement. I am so blessed by each one of you! Love.

This evening I rode Daisy for a bit. I rode her around the meadow a bit to make sure there are no buttercups in there. There weren't any really so I was happy about that. So I hopped off of her and took her outside the fence. I laid her down and got on her. I rode her down to the barn and took her out to the arena. Out there I worked her at a walk and a canter. I got her to stop, turn and back up with very little pressure on the reins. Working bridleless has helped a lot I think :) Daisy did so well. I was quite pleased with how the ride turned out. I don't know how much riding I will get in before tour but after tour I hope to ride her a nice amount.
I didn't work with Freedom but I did love on him a bit and put fly spray on him.

Big Frog got to Skype with his Collab mentees the other day. They greeted him with, "How's the afterlife?" and, "Welcome back from the dead!", which neither he nor I knew anything about. Don't you think that we would know at least something?
Turns out, one of our wonderful relationship-minded Collab friends, who was on the call, had come in the other day, mournfully reporting, "Big Frog died," which shocked her teammates, who had no idea that anything was even wrong with my hubby.
Fortunately, we're all getting better at asking good questions to get to the bottom of the matter. The team quickly learned how much this fabulous, hula-hooping individual appreciated & respected Big Frog. (Completely in earnest, not teasing in the least.) As she instantly realized what a galvanizing effect her words had on the team, she clarified, "I named my fish after you."

I'm sure you've all heard.
We've had bad weather.
If school is closed again tomorrow, I'm going to cry.
After days of ice, Friday brought us a nice, thick blanket of snow and warmer weather.
So, after getting home from work (Hubs) and a sleep over at Gram and Grandpa's (me and the kids) we ventured out in our neighborhood.
We went across the empty lot next to us and across the street to see this flock of geese that we've been hearing for days.
Ace got a kick out of these ducks too.
Then, of course, there were some snowballs thrown around.
against them :)
it was fierce!
We made a snow angel family also!
We had a great time, and the kids were not ready to come in and thaw out.
Also, while downloading the card I came across these...
To relieve some cabin fever while I was at work this week,
Hubs and the kids went to a Texas Ranger's signing event.
They had a great time.
There's no pic of Ace because he HATES characters.
I think Hubs said, at this point, he was up on his shoulders to get away.
We're still very proud of our Rangers!
(There were also some pictures, of what I'm guessing are Rangers, but I have no idea who they are. I'm sure they were very important though.)

Baby Blankets, Christmas Stockings, and maybe some Curtains
Yes, I got a sewing machine for Christmas! I was sick of paying $8.00 for a hem every time I needed alterations done, so I started thinking I could do it myself. My sweet hubbie surprised me with the gift and I've been a sewing fool ever since. Although, I do have to say it's a bit harder than it looks. I've made 2 baby blankets (with binding), 2 Christmas stockings, and am just beginning to plan what I'd like my curtains to look like. Dreaming is the fun part!

The American and Canadian women's hockey teams do not like each other. Two months ago, after one of their matchups ended, they turned the rink into Thunderdome, wailing on each other with frantic bloodletting.
They met again last night in Grand Forks, ND, with similar results. U.S. coach Katey Stone felt a statement was made.
"I'm not a proponent of fighting in hockey, but I am a proponent of standing up for yourself," U.S. coach Katey Stone said. "We will not be pushed around."
And that should put an end to that, because if anything put an end to simmering hostility in hockey, it's fighting.

NFL NEWS: Super Bowl XLIX
Brad Johnsons hand in altering game balls prior to Super Bowl XXXVII pales in comparison to Deflate-gate with the New England Patriots and heres why.
Johnson, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, is renowned for his compulsions from replacing about everything but his pants every quarter over the course of a game. He admitted to paying two ballboys working for the NFL $7,500 to make sure the footballs for Super Bowl XXXVII were scuffed and broken in before the game.
This is nothing new as it resurfaced on the Tampa Bay Times website, but has regained traction in light of the controversy.
Johnsons scuffing was known and perfectly fine to his SB opponent, former Oakland Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon.
The Bucs were perennial playoff contenders from 1997-2008 during the Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden years. The only controversy in regards of the integrity of play was then Raiders head coach Bill Callahans inflexibility to deviate from Grudens (his former team) playbook in Super Bowl XXXVII. The Bucs defense clearly salivated at the chance to jump on Gannons tendencies as Gruden acted the part of Gannon during practice week prior to the game. In their first and only appearance so far in the big game, the Bucs drubbed the Raiders, 48-21.
Since Bill Belichick was hired to be the Patriots head coach in 2000, the team only missed the playoffs three times. His lone losing season was in his debut, but 11 seasons later, combined for an impressive 171-62. Belichick proceeded to win three of his five Super Bowl appearances, now entering his sixth Super Bowl. His opponent are the defending champion Seattle Seahawks.
However, Belichicks legacy hit a pretty big snag with Spygate in 2007 when then New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini, a former Patriots assistant, tipped league officials that the Patriots might have been filming their signals. After the Jets lodged a formal complaint, the NFL fined Belichick $500,000 and the team, $250,000. The team also forfeited their 2008 first round draft choice.
Despite the one of the stiffest punishments handed by the league until Bounty-gate, the Patriots would later be the second team to ever achieve a perfect regular season at 16-0 before losing to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
Since Spygate, the Patriots still havent won another championship. Those who thought the Patriots were out to prove their 2007 scandal was forever buried in the past, now emerges Deflate-gate, which the team is accused of reducing 11 of 12 footballs by as much as two pounds during the AFC Championship game. The Patriots crushed the Indianapolis Colts, 45-7.
As Patriots fans can claim some perceived agenda against them for their prolonged greatness, deflate-gate just reopened some old wounds and the shroud of corruption runs rampant again in and around Boston. The Patriots and their fans have every bit the reason to feel that their backs are against the wall as they did prior to their first Belichick-led Super Bowl as a 14-point underdog, but now its for completely different reasons in attempting to salvage some form of possible tainted legacy.

June 15, 2010 - by Barry Rubin
There is, of course, one obvious point that proves the group has terrorist links: its open support for Hamas, a terrorist organization, in terms of financing, supplying, strategy (trying to break the blockade against it), and political aims. On virtually any other topic, this would have been sufficient to prove the point.
While governments of
, like all governments, have told lies, what is amazing is how good that government's record is — especially compared to other Western democracies. Israel and its supporters know that their every word will be scrutinized and must be backed up by facts and documentation. Yet theTimes and other mass media often treat Israel as less credible than dictatorships and terrorists whose record for veracity is minimal. Israel
Meanwhile, the International Herald Tribune runs an op-ed by Alistair Crooke, who has also been warmly received by the Times and other media. Crooke is openly a lobbyist for Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Los Angeles Times, whose record is just as bad, ran an op-ed by a UCLA professor and anti-Israel activist named Saree Makdisi entitled: "Don't single out Helen Thomas." Makdisi used long-discredited false quotes from Alan Dershowitz and Israeli leaders to claim they are also racist purveyors of hate speech.
Yet while the Los Angeles Times permits the publication of false quotations — as the New York Times did a few months ago with a Rashid Khalidi misquote — such media almost never quote the documented daily incitement and hate preached throughout the
Middle East in mosques, government speeches, and mass media.
Media reactions to the latest revelations about Reuters' use of doctored photographs (removing a knife from a flotilla jihadi's hand, so it can be argued the Islamists were merely victims) have been a yawn.
When Rosie O'Donnell defended Helen Thomas and argued that the Jews should go back to
Germany and because there were no more death camps in those countries, it brought no criticism. Poland
Yet what of all the things we aren't hearing about? I know from an impeccable source that when a book of mine was discussed at an editorial board meeting of the Harvard University Press, it was rejected after someone said: "We can't have an Israeli writing about Arab politics." And Princeton University Press, considered the absolute best for academic publishing on the
Middle East, put out a book by a leading British anti-Israel activist — without notable academic argumentation in it — claiming that Zionism is a mental illness.
The reasons why such things happen are complex. They include the identification of
as evil and aggressive, which then permits it to be treated as inevitably dishonest and in the wrong. But this is only possible because it is accompanied by the ideological corruption of academia, media, publishing, and intellectual life in general. Israel
Many journalists believe that the highest priority for media is to further their own causes and to tell the public what is "good" for it to hear. If, for example, negative things are reported about Muslims, third-world countries, or enemies of the United States — the reasoning goes — Americans might go into the streets and massacre Muslims or advocate wars.
Thus, censoring out large aspects of the news and distorting others has become virtuous. And there are many other manifestations: Christian groups come to the defense of those who expel Christians and won't let churches be built; gay groups support those who murder gays; feminist groups endorse those who repress women.
Barry Rubin is director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal. His latest books are The Israel-Arab Reader (seventh edition, Viking-Penguin), the paperback edition of The Truth about Syria (Palgrave-Macmillan), and The Long War for Freedom: The Arab Struggle for Democracy in the Middle East (Wiley).

It's a nice patch of prairie on a hill with a long view in most directions. The city will surround most of it with a split-rail fence. I have it on good authority the city will add interpretive signage highlighting the land's history, the city's reclamation effort, and the prairie ecosystem. Recent signage additions in other parts of the preserve about Blackland prairie wildlife and the Austin Chalk formation are nicely done. Paved trail extension work was continuing when I took these photos December second just before the ice storm.
I have to hope my city that had the wisdom to create two nature preserves, one on either side of the city, will protect Oak Point through the music event. Plano has a successful annual hot air balloon festival, and should bring that expertise to managing the music festival. If the event offers a way to educate visitors about nature, terrific! My next concern is about how "green" this event can be with recycling, trash collection, and biodegradable serving containers at food vendor trucks. Can Plano apply aspects of its Learn 2 Live Green expo to the music festival?

Mo' Baggy, Mo' Problem
Three different bags and three different hours… Each one presenting their own challenges. I can't tell you how many of these totes I've made. Yet, I always seem to come up with a way to be entirely inconsistant in what happens when I make them.
Let's start with bag on on the left. Somehow decided to topstich a different distance from the edge of the strap than I usually do. The result looked… stupid, so I felt I had no choice but to tear out all 30″ of stitching. FUN! A half hour bag took me an hour, and I ended up with a headache. Great way to start out my afternoon of sewing.
The bag in the middle is actually bag three, but the lining on that one ended up being slightly bigger than the outside. I had a feeling this was the case, but I didn't really feel like taking the time to really check or to fix it. When it got to hole stitching time, I had a yuck-fest of a messy hole (note to self, never, ever say that again). I've had this problem before… for some reason I always either set the bag aside never to be looked at again, or I've ripped out the stitching and fixed the size. Turns out I can usually (unless it's really off) fix it from said hole without even returning the fabric. And fix I did. It's still not 100%, and I'm feeling rather meh about the bag.
Bag two, on the right, was nearly perfect. It's a beautiful bag, if I do say so myself (and I do). As I was topstitching, I got 9″ from my starting stitch and POOF! Out of bobbin thread. I used to swear a lot when that happens, but I'm trying to grow more Zen (especially behind the wheel, but that's a post for another blog). I just roll with the punches now and plow forward. What stung the most about this one, however, was the fact that if I hadn't messed up the top stitching on the previous bag, I would have had more than enough thread to successfully finish.
Two more bags to make for No Coast, and then I feel like I should start focusing on Christmas presents. Or maybe I should make some wallets for No Coast. We'll see how I feel next week!

J sent me this picture this morning while the kiddo was playing in his room. He loves to get into the toy box. When I put his toys up at night, he'll crawl over, stand up and watch them all go back in. Funny.
He was pretty exhausted when I got home, so things moved pretty fast to get him into bed. We had some good snuggles and kisses, but he was asleep in no time. He will be 9 months old tomorrow - I can't believe it! We go in to see the doctor on Monday for his 9 month check up. I'm grateful for no shots at this visit. Hopefully I can get a good picture tomorrow evening when I get home.

In less than two weeks, the college football journey begins for former Wakulla star Jordan Franks.
He wasn't heavily recruited and that has him hungry.
We found Franks work out at Body-Tek in Crawfordville, eager to prove he's a big time player.
"UCF gave me a chance to play division one football so I want to rep, represent them the best I can," Franks said.
Wakulla's Jordan Franks isn't taking any time off this summer. Being on the roster is not good enough for this gym rat.
"Going in trying to steal a starting position from a senior so that's my mentality right now," Franks said.
He plans on playing and he's not even sure what side of the ball he's lining up on.
"Since I really don't know what position I am playing since I signed up as an athlete I try to bulk up but not put on too much weight so I'm staying around 220 right now," Franks said.
He's willing to play his natural position of wide receiver or contribute on defense as a safety, it doesn't matter as long as it gets him on the field.
"I'm ready to hit somebody, catch over somebody, anything I have to do to win," Franks said.
And one of the big reason's Franks is putting in the extra work, he wants to be a factor when UCF opens the season in Dublin Ireland against Penn State.
"I've never been out of the states before, never been ten hours from my house before so it's going to be the real deal. My dad has been overseas since he was in the navy but I'm ready. Go to new parts of the world," Franks said.

Mosaic, a leading solar loan financing platform based in California, adds Ginlong Solis PV Inverter on its approved vendor list (AVL).
In the US, the first wave of growth in the residential solar market can be attributed to third-party financing for leases that make solar affordable to the masses. More recently, a wide range of loan products has been introduced to the market.
However, solar financing has created a barrier for new inverter entrance in the US market. Several years ago, I was knocking on the door of a top solar financing company, asking for advice how we could be on their AVL list. "Before talking to us, you should have a large installation base and a proven track record in the US. Otherwise, it won't worth our investment for evaluation", they said. But without solar financing, how could we achieve a large installation base? I was puzzled by this "Chicken and Egg" dilemma.
Then, things begin to happen in a "magic" way since last year. The top solar leasing companies started their search for the next highest quality inverter with affordable pricing from Asia last year. DNV GL, a world leading technical advisory firm, expanded to inverter 3rd party qualification testing and evaluation and Ginlong Solis PV inverter is the first evaluated. Ginlong Solis inverter customers become our "raving fans", the best salespeople of the company…The next, Ginlong Solis PV inverter is on the Mosaic AVL for financing, letting in a much needed "fresh air" in the industry.
Founded in 2010, Mosaic has gotten good publicity with its crowd-funding model to match investors with solar project developers in the United States. It is offering a residential solar financing platform now. Mosaic attracts great talents with its unique business model and great potential. "Mosaic is participating in the highly disruptive space of peer-to-peer lending, which is experiencing tremendous growth in the U.S. right now, and it's bringing that business model to solar, another high growth industry. Mosaic is therefore at the intersection of two rapidly expanding market opportunities, which bodes well for our success.", said Bruce Ledesma, who explained his reason for joining Mosaic as COO in 2014. (Former SunPower executive Bruce Ledesma joined Mosaic as COO in 2014.) Last month, former SolarCity CFO Robert D. Kelly is named a member of Mosaic's Board of Directors.
The US PV inverter vendor landscape is changing in front of our eyes. Ginlong Solis is competing on a more leveled competitive playing field now for success.

This recent article in the LA Times, Acupressure bands for that sickening feeling, by the aptly named "Healthy Skeptic", talks about the wristbands that hit the P6 acupressure point and help address nausea.
It cites a couple of studies that focus on the efficacy of this acu-point, which attest to how well it works, with the wristband, and with the thumb.
In a study published in 2001, for example, [Robert Stern, a professor of psychology at Penn State University who studies motion sickness and nausea] and colleagues tested Acuband wristbands on subjects who had endured a session in a stomach-churning machine that uses spinning images to trigger motion sickness. As advertised, the bands helped fend off queasiness.
That study said the benefit of the wristband is that it won't slip and can help focus the pressure. But the pressure of a thumb can work, too.
In July of this year, researchers published a study showing that hands-on acupressure — without wristbands — reduced nausea in women receiving hard-core chemotherapy for breast cancer. The technique didn't make a difference immediately after the chemo, but the benefits became apparent in the 10 days that followed. A control group of women who were taught to perform acupressure on a spot away from P6 didn't enjoy any such respite.
I've had clients and students tell me that they've used these while traveling on all kinds of transportation: cars, buses, boats and planes. Some tour operators have them on hand for their bus travelers. You might want to consider getting a set for your next vacation or trip.

A couple weeks back we went down to our beloved Auntie Mimi & Uncle Bob's house to spend the night, in order to avoid added stress of doing all the driving in one day. We went to the Bite of Seattle on Sunday with my in-laws, which was pleasantly relaxing. I'm not one for taking my daughters to big crowds in general, especially when they're not child friendly. Yet, with Cadence falling asleep in her stroller for the first part, it alleviated some of the potential stress (especially considering she can be quite the monkey).
I also got to meet Tom Douglas, which was pretty neat. If you're not familiar with him, he's a famous chef with a handful of restaurants in Seattle. Well, that's a side note.
We were planted on a spot on the lawn. The girls came back from listening to the Gospel Choir with G&G. Veronica sat on my lap, while Cadence sat with Ben. Eventually, Cadence came over to me sitting half on my lap and half on the blanket. Then, in a hasty blur with two worlds colliding, one in front of me and the other behind me. In front, Cadence shrieks with that high pitched pain cry holding out her finger, while I'm looking to see what happened. Then, the mama bear comes out as Veronica smiles and I realize that as Cadence was laying across, her finger was near Veronica's mouth. Meaning the obvious: she bit her sister's finger.
Meanwhile, the raucous noises behind me are mixture of crows cawing & people screaming, because a crow had fallen out of the tree. There was another crow in the tree cawing, while the one on the ground was suffering. So whenever a person would walk past the crow on the ground, the crow in the tree would swoop down trying to snap at them.
However, I was still angry mama bear and handed Veronica over to Ben, while I consoled my hurt young. Grandma was trying to get us to move, because the crow in the tree didn't look too good. And that's what's happening in the picture.

This whole post cracks me up! I love the picture. I love the story of the crow. I love the presentation of the reality of life with kids.

Am I sure I have a brain??? Well, regardless, I do entertain myself! I just have to make sure I don't HARM myself!
I did two stupid things in two days last week.....
I went out to my burnt house, still looking for my baby Jazz(my cat), and I set food inside the doorway where the kitchen was, on a towel. I then check for animal hair to see if her colors show up. So far, I think I am just feeding a raccoon and an oppossum. But anyway! I also look inside the garage. Hopefully she'll try to take shelter here shortly, since the cold weather is coming, and the garage is still standing.
I pulled into the driveway, and thought, "I'll just leave the car running, since I'm just going to check real quick, and get back in." So, I got out of the car, and.....
the car started moving! I forgot to put it in park!!!
And the next day....
I took my recyclables down to the big blue bins, being a responsible earthling and all. The bins had just recently been emptied, so there was plenty of room for my stuff.
As I threw in my last batch of plastic recyclables, I threw my keys in with them!!!
Oh great! The bin was possibly 1/3 full, and my keys landed on a bag. Well, fortunately for me, I was on my way to a cleaning job, and had my Swiffer extended handled wand with me. I bent it so that the prongs could slip thru my keyring. WHEW!
I got back in my car, and laughed myself half of the way to my cleaning job.
They say you're finally mature when you are able to laugh at yourself! I must be VERY mature! And I give myself plenty of opportunity to laugh!

Jesus Christ Oderus even I can fucking play Misirlou
Nirvana is hands down the quickest way to learn guitar
Oh bullshit, Chrizer. You wouldn't know Dick Dale if he married your sister.
I've never played Misirlou .

If you are one of those who love dining out but have been fretting over the hefty service charge levied by hotels and restaurants, then here is some good news for you. As per the latest clarification given by Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, service charge on hotel and restaurant bills is totally voluntary and not mandatory now.
"The government has approved guidelines on service charge. As per the guidelines, service charge is totally voluntary and not mandatory now," Paswan has reportedly said, adding that "hotels/restaurants should not decide how much service charge is to be paid by the customer and it should be left to the discretion of customer."
As per the guidelines, the column of service charge in a bill will be left blank to customers to fill up before making the final payment.
You may also watch:
Here's all you need to know about service charge and the impact on your food bills of the recent clarification by the government:
What is service tax and service charge
Service tax is a tax levied by the Central Government of India on services provided. Currently, service tax is charged at the rate of 15% uniformly throughout the country.
Service tax is collected by restaurants which have air-conditioning or central air-heating facility. The consumer pays the amount of service tax on the bill and it is then deposited by the restaurant to the service tax department.
"Service charge, on the other hand, is not defined under the service tax law, and is not required to be collected as per the law. Service charge is a practice that was started by the hotel chains/ restaurant owners for collecting tips on behalf of the staff that serves in these places. Therefore, service charges are not a tax collected on behalf of the government and thus is not a government levy," says Gautam Kapil, Chartered Accountant, V K Kapil & Co.
What was the practice prevalent before?
The practice being followed by the restaurants earlier was that they were charging service charge from the customer mandatorily by forming it a part of the bill. Once the service charge was formed a part of the invoice, it became chargeable as part of the service component. Customers were being looted on account of this tactful game plan of the restaurants.
Impact on your food bills with the clarification by the government
This issue has been in the news for a long period of time with many consumer forums & associations complaining about this unlawful charge on the consumers. Hotels and restaurants were charging 'service charge' in the range of 5-20 per cent.
Earlier, in January 2017, a similar statement as issued by the consumer affairs minister that service charge is voluntary that you can choose not to pay them, if you are not satisfied with the service you receive. "This had led to a lot of confusion as hotel chains misinterpreted this statement by saying the minister has clarified that service charge can be charged in the bill. Therefore, even when you were satisfied with the services, the restaurants would then put an ad-hoc high rate of at least 10% service charge on the service component of the bill, going up to the extent of 20% in some hotels," says Kapil.
You may also watch:
But with the latest clarification given by Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, service charge is totally voluntary and not mandatory now. The minister has categorically said that there is nothing like service charge under the law and service charge is nothing but tips that are being collected by the restaurants.
The basic difference now is that restaurant owners cannot charge the customer any amount or percentage of service charge in the bill and it would be left at the discretion of the customer to put any amount he wishes to. As per the guidelines, the column of service charge in a bill will be left blank to customers to fill up before making the final payment.
"This is indeed a welcome clarification issued by the Union Minister in addition to the guidelines that are being released to the states to pass it on to the restaurant owners not to charge service charge in the bill," says Kapil.

So it seems that I've taken a bit of an unintentional bloggy break. Sorry about that. My day is so crammed these days that I just can't seem to find the time... hell, most days I can barely put a sentence together, much less write something worth reading. Yes, I'm whining. It is annoying. No one wants to read that, right?
In an effort to make everyone feel my pain- not really- I'm going to give you a run down of a day in the life of AJ. Fasten your seat belts.
5:15- alarm goes off. Check Twitter and see what I missed, duh.
5:30- coffee, news, try to wake up a little
5:45- more than likely LJ is waking so I have to scoop him up, get him changed, and give him some puffs
6:00- wake up Jax, hand off LJ for a bottle, start getting ready for work
6:45- start packing up LJ's stuff for the day
6:50- hopefully out the door
7:05- drop LJ off at daycare
8:25- get to work, if traffic was light I might grab a latte on the way in
*At this point I bust my ass until 5:00. Sometimes I get a lunch break, but most often I don't. I'm the only person in my office right now. It super SUCKS.
5:00- leave my office to sit in traffic
6:15- get home, if I'm lucky and traffic wasn't too bad
6:17- get a glass of wine
6:20- start fixing LJ's dinner
6:30- feed LJ
6:45- LJ's bath
7:00- LJ gets a bottle
7:15- get LJ ready for bed
7:30- start cooking dinner, eat, maybe watch a show on tv
9:00- hopefully getting in bed so that I can try to get a full 8 hours of sleep
Seriously, I couldn't make this shit up. Everyone's got their busy days.

Yuck. I think the thing that would kill me the most is eating so late. I freak out when dinner is any later than 6pm.. I need at least 3 hours between dinner and bed.ReplyDelete
I also noted that you have neglected to mention time allocated for Joy maintenance... Ha. That could totally be a euphemism for masterbation or sex...but, of course, I mean ME!!

I am a huge sports fan, and I have played football for the last 6 years. I am pretty knowledgeable about sports, but I will be wrong sometimes, because I'm a lot dumber than I tell myself. I'm a huge fan of FSU athletics, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Atlanta Braves, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Orlando Magic. As you can probably guess by reading my favorite teams, hockey season and college football are the only times when I'm able to write about my favorite teams in a good way.

Today I decided that I was going to list the washer & dryer that we bought while apartment dwellers for sale on Craigslist. I went out in the garage to take pictures of the set, and when I opened the dryer, this is what I saw:
Apparently we forgot to remove the last load of clothes before we moved! Inside was a pair of sweatpants I'd been searching madly for but gave up for lost. If you're interested in a gently used Amana washer & dryer set, please let us know!
This weekend Nick was trying to finish up some drywall work upstairs, and suddenly we discovered that Jake had re-discovered his favorite hiding place in between the floorboards upstairs. Why he continues to hide there is beyond our comprehension because both times he has hid here, he's promptly received a bath upon exiting. Anyhow, this doesn't look very comfortable to me:
He eventually came out but decided he wasn't dirty enough to warrant a bath.
For those football fans out there, you may remember that the Colts won the Superbowl last year. Apparently if you win the Superbowl, the NFL spends millions of dollars to host an extravagant season kickoff show in your team's city. Indianapolis welcomed Hinder, Kelly Clarkson and Faith Hill on September 6th for a free show right on the circle. Since the office building where I work happens to be right on the circle, we had front-row seats to the madness:

China's debris cloud adds to risk in space
Sun., Jan. 21, 2007
In blowing up one of its orbiting satellites, China created a vast debris cloud that heightens concerns about the growing threat space junk poses to spacecraft and the expanding networks of weather and communication satellites.
The blast, which occurred Jan. 11 and was confirmed by U.S. officials Thursday, spread material across 2,000 miles of space, said Harvard astronomer Jonathan McDowell.
The Union of Concerned Scientists estimated that there are nearly 800 debris fragments 10 centimeters or larger and perhaps 2 million smaller pieces that also can cause damage because they travel at high speeds, some about 18,000 miles an hour. Much of it will remain for decades, adding to the inventory of spent rockets, working and dead satellites and other used equipment and materials orbiting Earth.
"It used to be with space flight people worried about meteor showers. Now the much bigger danger is from manmade debris," said McDowell.
The Department of Defense's U.S. Space Surveillance Network uses 30 telescopes and radar units to track satellites and debris. Before the Chinese rocket destroyed the satellite, the network was monitoring 14,000 pieces of orbiting hardware put into space since the Soviet launch of Sputnik I in 1957.
Each year, about 200 new pieces of debris are added to the inventory. To qualify for monitoring, a fragment must be at least 10 centimeters in size – roughly the size of a softball.
"Everybody's job today is a little harder than it was maybe two weeks ago," said Nicholas L. Johnson, chief scientist and program manager of NASA's orbital debris program.
Johnson said the effect of the Chinese blast will not be known for at least another week, when more data become available from the space surveillance network, based in Colorado Springs, Colo. But scientists say they know the impact will be severe.
"This debris cloud is all over the place," said McDowell.
The Union of Concerned Scientists used NASA formulas for calculating the effects of a blast. In addition to the largest and smallest fragments, there could be 40,000 from 1 centimeter to 10 centimeters, it said. A centimeter is about the width of a fingernail.
On Friday, the group called on the United States to enter international discussions focused on banning the testing and use of anti-satellite weapons.
Experts say the remains of the Chinese satellite and missile pose little risk of falling to Earth. Debris that reaches the atmosphere will be so small it should burn up. But the Chinese satellite was in an area heavily used by military and commercial satellites and because it was more than 500 miles up, much of the debris will remain in space for at least a decade, said David C. Wright, a physicist.
"This was a particularly bad place in space to do this," he said.
The Chinese test was the first of its kind since the U.S. and the former Soviet Union destroyed satellites with missiles in the mid-1980s. But those satellites were at lower altitudes, so debris reached the atmosphere faster and was destroyed, Wright said.
Since the Challenger explosion in 1986, NASA's space shuttles have had to reroute their paths to avoid space debris half a dozen times, Johnson said.

Although most consumers have transferred their banking activities from physical institutions to online sites and apps, having a physical banking institution can definitely come with some advantages. One of those advantages is the ability access a safe deposit box. Safe deposit boxes can keep a lot of important documents safe from home theft and disasters like home fires. What should you keep in them? We spoke with some financial experts to find out.
Sandy Arons, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, recommends keeping the following in a safe deposit box:
- Car titles
- Birth certificates
- Adoption papers
- Marriage license
- Divorce agreement
- Parenting plan
- Expensive jewelry
- Appraisals for collections or items on an insurance rider
- Wills, durable power of attorney and other estate planning documents
Ray Advani, personal finance blogger at Squirrelers, reminds consumers that safe deposit boxes are less accessible and convenient than a household safe. "Remember, if you need a passport for overseas travel, power of attorney documents, and other items that you might need in a hurry, the box will likely be accessible only during your bank's normal hours."
Although safe deposit boxes can keep a variety of documents safe, there are also items that you shouldn't include — financial assets in particular. As Advani notes, any financial assets that you store in a deposit box and are not held in any bank accounts,could be damaged or stolen and would not be FDIC insured.
While you don't want everyone to know the whereabouts of your safe deposit box and its keys or code, Arons says, "In case of emergency, the executor of your will needs to know the location of your safety deposit box and keys."
Of course, state laws about safe deposit boxes can vary. "If you live in multiple places, be aware of state laws regarding access to your safe deposit box if another owner dies," says Janet Groene. Groene, who writes for people who live on the go in an RV, warns that your rights as a safe deposit box co-owner depend on state law. "If there is a death in the family and the box is sealed, you could be shut out while the state steps in."

Facebook is very popular today. When I started online I hated Facebook.
Make money with Facebook
I just couldn't understand why I needed to get an account with Facebook. Then I realized that Facebook can help you connect with people. Not only can you stay in touch with old friends but you can make new connections.
This is great to generate new leads and business. After using Facebook for a few days I found that we can create Facebook Fan pages. These are like websites but only easier to make with no headaches.
Most of my Fan pages have no design as I did not figure out how to do that. Creating a Fan page helps gain unlimited amounts of free traffic to your website or offer.
The leads I got or visitors I recd were targeted, converted faster and bought my money making product.
Create a Facebook account today and take the first step in making money.
Once you have created an account try to connect to as many friends as possible. The more people see your offer, the better it is for you.
Check out a resource I found which people are talking about and works - Money with Facebook Fan Pages
