I could tell something was up when those bag things came out..usually that means my parents are leaving me and going to have fun without me :( I heard them saying that my Grandparents are this thing called "stationed on a base" in Washington DC (I don't know what that means except that they leave really early in the morning and leave by myself for like years)!
This time was different though, this time they told me to get in the car...I so thought I was getting to go with them. But then they took me to this place that had so many smells. The other people were nice but I was a little nervous because I didn't know where I was and I could tell mom and dad were leaving me here! there were so many other dogs there too though so I knew I would be okay!
OMG I totally didn't know how much fun it would be! I got to play in this kiddie pool thing and the kids played with me like all day!! The let me run through this thing they call a hose that had water coming out of it (if i knew how much fun they would be I would never have chewed up our "hose")! Oh and then one day while I was there the had a party with lots of yummy food and smells and they let me out to play with all the kids. It was soo soo much fun but there was some really loud things that were really bright (I think they called them fireworks) they were kind of scary :0
Oh and one of the kids had a yummy bread thing and I swear I thought she was giving it to me but when I took it out of her had she stated crying and I got in trouble! I really didn't mean to upset her..but it was really yummy!!
I really missed my parents and was glad when they came to get me but OH MAN was I tired!! There was another small dog there and they would let us out all the time and I would chase him around and he would chase me and it was like doggy heaven :) Oh and right before my mom came for me they gave me a bath and took like half the hair from my body...I feel so much better now! When I got home I was so tired I slept for days and days...I never do that..I think my parents were glad!
My ears have been hurting a lot and when mom came they told her I had an ear infection..i don't know what that means but hopefully it will make them stop hurting! My mommy talks about you guys all the time and couldn't wait to share my weekend with you!! Oh and check out my cool bandanna...
My parents are the coolest!!

If you want to buy a generator: A primer
You weren't able to shower, or heat your home. You threw out all the food in your fridge. You couldn't turn on the lights or the TV for two weeks or more, and you clung to cellphone power like life itself.
Some are still without power because of superstorm Sandy. And it is expected there will be other storms in which Long Islanders are bound to lose power again.
Unless you have a generator.
An electric generator uses gasoline, liquid propane or natural gas to create electricity, says Jim Baugher, generator expert at Power Equipment Direct, an Illinois-based online power equipment company that ships nationwide without a fee. They range in wattage between 800 to 150,000, but most generators for private homes are between 3,250 to 20,000 watts, depending on a home's size and the amount of power required.
If you want your essentials -- fridge, sump pump and heat -- you'll need at least a 5,500-watt generator. Powering an entire home requires 17,000 to 20,000 watts.
As many Long Islanders have noticed, it's usually too late to get a generator after a storm hits. "People usually put projects like this off because it's not an immediate need, but it becomes an immediate need after the storm happens," says Tom Magoulas, regional service manager for The Home Depot's New York metro stores.
Before you head to the store, decide which type of generator would be best for your home. Here's a guide:
PRICE $500-$3,000 (You can also buy a transfer switch for an additional $500 to $900 that would connect the portable generator to your circuit box; you'd need an electrician to do this, but it would eliminate extension cords. The generator would be outside, but you'd need only one cord to connect it with the electrical panel.)
FUEL Gasoline
FUEL COST PER DAY You'll need about 10 gallons a day for a small portable generator -- so, depending on the price of gas and the size of your generator, you'll spend upward of $30 per day to power your portable generator, says Jeffrey DiLandro, president of Ocean Electric Corp. in Southampton.
PROS It's a relatively inexpensive generator. You can get one for as little as $300 (for a small, low-watt generator). You don't need a professional to install it. You can plug the appliances you want powered directly into the generator using extension cords. Then you put gas in the tank and you're good to go, Baugher says. You can use it in the rain or snow as long as it's covered from the elements by a generator shelter, which costs about $200.
CONS It doesn't switch on automatically. If you're not home when your power goes out, you may lose food in a refrigerator because it won't turn on. Since it needs to be stored in a dry space, most people keep the generator in a garage or basement, so you'll need to take it outside to use it -- and the generator could weigh 50 to 300 pounds, depending on size. It runs on gas, so you'll have to fill it daily, which may be a problem if there's a gas shortage. When the power returns, you'll have to continue to run the machine to get rid of fuel residue. If you forget to do that, you'll have a major cleaning job ahead the next time you use it, DiLandro says. These generators typically max out at 12,000 watts, so they aren't a great option if you want to power a large home, says Pete Happ, general manager at Huntington Power, a local store selling generator and emergency power systems. You'll be able to hear it running at all times. Some are difficult to start.
ON THE MARKET DuroMax XP10000E 10,000 Watt 16 HP, which is $1,500 at amazon.com.
PRICE Starts at $8,500, including installation
FUEL Propane or natural gas
FUEL COST PER DAY $50 to $300, depending on the size of the generator
PROS It's a permanent solution. Most standby generators, if well-maintained, will last at least 10 years. It senses loss of utility and switches over to the generator within 30 seconds. When power is restored, it senses that, too, and switches back off. You can power entire circuits or a whole electric panel, as opposed to individual appliances, says Jim Baugher, of online retailer Power Equipment Direct. It may increase the value of your home.
CONS You'll have to maintain it by changing the oil and filters annually. If it's used for five days or longer, you should service it.
ON THE MARKET Centurion by Generac Power Systems 10,000 Watts LP Standby Generator with Automatic Transfer Switch, which is $3,000 plus installation at Lowe's, bringing the cost to about $8,500, depending on the electrician's fees.
PRICE $1,300 to $5,000
FUEL They can run on natural gas, gasoline or propane.
FUEL COST PER DAY It varies depending on the type of fuel you're using, but will start at $30 for a small generator.
PROS In a gasoline shortage, you can always switch to an alternate fuel, such as natural gas. All other benefits are the same as regular portable generators, with the exception of the cost.
CONS They make up less than 1 percent of portable generator sales because they are new and cost up to four times more than a similar-sized portable generator thatruns only with gasoline, says Matthew Andrews, of online company Power Equipment Direct Inc. There's very little selection because these are so new. They can also be as loud as gas portables.
ON THE MARKET Powerland 10,000-Watt 16 HP Tri-Fuel Gasoline LPG and NG Generator with Electric, which costs $1,300 at The Home Depot.
Safety first
An Oceanside woman died last week from carbon monoxide poisoning linked to a portable generator running in her home's attached garage. Here, Matthew Andrews, spokesman for the online company Power Equipment Direct Inc., offers the following safety tips:
- Portable generators must be kept outside, at least 5 to 10 feet away from any door, window or ventilation area of your home.
- The generator should never be used indoors. This includes garages with doors open because the carbon monoxide gas can collect quickly and linger for hours.
- Always point the exhaust of your generator away from your home.
- If you are using a generator, make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
- Don't plug your appliances directly into the generator.
- Allow your generator to cool off before you refuel it or add oil to prevent an explosion and to protect yourself from burns.

As someone who's been working in the (dumpster) field for almost a decade now- saying that I've seen or done it all would be an overstatement. Living in a big city such as LA also definitely has its perks- a variety of choice and opportunities constantly gives you space to grow and experience new things.
All of this may seem as an exaggeration, especially since most people are not familiar with the full extent of the services dumpster rentals provide. Dealing with individuals and companies is not the only thing we do- we are very much involved in communal work as well, and not only when it comes to collecting fallen leaves in the streets or litter after festivals and similar.
For instance, we had a job that involved monument removal the other day- we don't get a lot of hiring related to monument removals but it happens every now and then; we usually get hired when a monument or a part of it/ it's facade is damaged beyond repair or during reconstruction and rarely for other reasons. Take in consideration that LA is a part of an area containing over 18 million people and over 120 historic- cultural monuments in downtown LA only- now imagine the rest not mentioned- it's quite a lot to take care of.
How does one pick the right deal?
When it comes to removing debris, you always need to know what you're working with; that way you know which dumpster to use and when. The regulations are strict and not to be violated- of course you don't want to pay for any illegal activity and besides that, safety always comes first.
In this particular case, we used a 40 cubic yard roll off dumpster (the biggest one we offer), 20' long x 8'' wide x 8'' tall. This type is usually used for larger construction work, home constructions or large clean out projects. The open top holds about 20 pickup truck loads. I would like to add that the dumpster removal was free of charge and completely up to us.
I hope I succeeded in explaining a couple of things here. Ask a professional to help you when it comes to litter and debris removal. Follow the regulations and rules given. And last but not least- respect the environment. Earth is not just our friend- it is the only home we have.

Desperate Media Chases It's Tail On Alex Rodriguez Trade Rumors – Bruce's Thought Of The Day
So now, blowhard Keith Olbermann is the "source" starting the Alex Rodriguez to the Miami Marlins trade rumors. I wonder if Benedict Arnold started a rumor if the lame media would chase after that.
In case you missed it, the media was in a frenzy yesterday over the "rumor" that the Yanks would deal A-Rod to Miami in a huge package of players and money transfer. The same media ran around and got people in a frenzy just a few weeks back when some clown started the Robinson Cano failed a steroid test rumor. That "journalist" later apologized. We can wait for death before Olbermann will do the same.
If the Yankees even had a sniff of being able to deal the joke known as A-Rod they would be on it fast. I doubt any team would be dumb enough to deal for Rodriguez. This is a guy that, in addition to being a steroid cheat, we now know was more interested in picking up some hotties than supporting his team during game one of the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers. So concerned about his ball club, and so distraught over being yanked from the game, the liar and phony Rodriguez started to hit on two women sitting close to field level. Yeah, I am sure teams are dying to acquire this rot from the Yanks.
For a moment let's play "let's break down this rumor." Yeah, the Marlins after their brutally bad season are going to send the Yankees a package of players for the fraud A-Rod including Josh Johnson, the tall and talented right hander who is still recovering from arm surgery two years ago. Yeah, I don't think so.
If Brian Cashman, General Manager of the Yankees can unload the waste and selfishness of Rodriguez he will, but it will cost the Yankees to the tune of $100 million as the Yankees will have to eat almost the entire contract the Bombers are saddled with for the next five years (five years left, $114 million).
In addition, the Yankees would have to pay big money for the salaries of the returning players. This totally goes against the stated mission of having the payroll around $190 million by 2014. If the Yankees could acquire players with expiring contracts then this might be doable, but doubtful. Remember A-Rod also has the ability to turn down any deal.
Yes, he lives in the Miami area and was a hero in the region many years ago. However, that was before the steroids and fake stats he has compiled. The Marlins have enough problems with their manager and other things. It is very doubtful they want another headache, and Rodriguez is a migraine!
So, bored media, you keep reading Olbermann's blog. You look like the fools but, hey, what else is new?
Okay, I am going to start a rumor and let's see if the clown media will chase after this. Here is the rumor, run for it media. The Yankees are talking to the Mets and the trade on the table is this: Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera plus Robinson Cano for Frank Francisco and Jason Bay. Go chase, media and let me know what the parties involved have to say.

The Daughter
hop over to this site buy provigil online Convoy of Hope Europe's feeding programs in Jordan continue in the cities Irbid and East Amman for the third year. Over 600,000 Syrians are currently living in refugee camps in Jordan, unable to work or leave the camp. The Jordanian government does not want refugees to work in fear they will take jobs from Jordanians. If the refugees leave the camp, they will be ineligible for any official aid. Tensions can run high, as many have been stuck in this desperate situation for years. Crime is common, and many families are faced with the difficult decision of keeping their family in an unsafe environment, or leaving the camp to find alternate housing in the city and losing their access to food.
Convoy of Hope Europe is working with partners in Jordan to help 1,300 refugees who made the decision to leave. One of these families is led by a woman named Haya. Her home in Syria was hit with a bomb and demolished, so Haya and her mother and siblings fled to Jordan. While the refugee camp in Irbid provided some food and assistance, there were problems with some of the men in the camp that made Haya fear for the safety of her sisters. They left the camp and are now renting a small room in Irbid.
Struggling with depression and shock from the war and losing their home, unable to work, unable to stay in the refugee camp that was supposed to represent safety for her family, Haya withdrew from the world and rarely left the apartment or spoke with anyone. She did not know how to provide for her family until the food parcels started arriving from COHEU.
Now, Haya has a new hope that her family will survive this difficult time, and her once-absent smile is now incredibly bright!

EDWARDSVILLE — An Edwardsville man was charged Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Madison County Circuit Court with a felony charge of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (heroin), according to a press release from Madison County Sheriff Robert J. Hertz.
The Madison County Sheriff's Office responded to an Illinois State Police emergency radio network broadcast at 10:55 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, of possible intoxicated driving near High Pointe Drive in Edwardsville. The vehicle description and registration number was provided by a citizen who reportedly was following the vehicle. A sheriff's deputy located the vehicle parked and running in the 300 block of High Pointe Drive.
The deputy approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver, who was asleep behind the wheel. The driver was identified as Steve S. Ferron, 25, of the 800 block of Hale Avenue. Ferron reportedly dropped a friend off at a nearby residence and fell asleep. The deputy made several observations while talking to Ferron, which made him suspect Ferron was possible under the influence of alcohol and/or a controlled substance. The deputy requested Ferron submit to field sobriety test. Ferron cooperated and passed the field sobriety test. While conducting the test, the deputy witnessed Ferron drop a clear bag containing multiple pills and capsules.
The deputy seized the clear bag and identified the contents of the capsules as heroin. Ferron was taken into custody and transported to the Madison County Jail, where he was held pending a formal review of facts by the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.
The felony warrant and information was signed and issued by Judge Richard Tognarelli, who set Ferron's bond at $15,000.

Saint Al's breaks ground on 'neighborhood hospital' in Nampa
A new mini-hospital is in the works for Nampa.
Saint Alphonsus Health System will break ground Thursday on the new building, in the parking lot of the system's existing hospital campus at 1512 12th Ave. Road.
The 40,000-square-foot Saint Alphonsus Neighborhood Hospital is slated to open next year. It will provide emergency care, short-stay inpatient care, radiology and primary care.
Saint Alphonsus in May announced plans to build the center for $15 million to $20 million, saying it allows the system to keep offering care to South Nampa after the new I-84 hospital opens. In May, the center was called an emergency medical plaza. The plans for the center haven't changed since then, but the new "neighborhood hospital" moniker better reflects the breadth of services that will be offered, a spokesman said.

I planned on making this soup yesterday. I got started: I cooked the squash and fried the onions. But I got a headache and I lost my cooking mojo.
However, it worked out really well. Since everything was ready in the fridge I just mixed them in the soup pot together and let them simmer for 30 mins. Easy-peasy. And the colour is perfect for Halloween.
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
(modified from this recipe)
1 butternut squash
2 cups chicken stock
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream (you can replace with milk if you are being more healthy)
1/2 cup milk
vegetable oil
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Oil a baking sheet and put the squash cut side down. Cook for 30-40 mins until tender and let cool. (This can be done the night before.)
2. Melt butter in a large pot and add onions. Cook to translucent.
3. Add stock to onions. Scoop squash out of the skin and add to onions and stock. Simmer for 30-40 mins.
4. Puree and add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add milk and cream, return to pot and bring to a simmer.

{Makeup Monday} Smashbox Primer
4 comments:
- Rosemary said...
Well I have a question! How much primer is the right amount of primer? I use it sometimes, but inevitably end up feeling as if my face is coated in something quite unpleasant, and I never know should I rub it in, or just rub it ON, if you get me... help!
- September 12, 2011 at 2:57 PM
- Ellie Balfe said...
Hey Rosemary,
Use a miniscule amount - they spread a long way on the face so don't use it as you would a moisturiser. Imagine that you are just laying 'on' a really thin layer of it - you are not looking for your skin to absorb it, just to deal with the surface layer and smooth it out.
Roughly an amount the size of your small finger nail (as long as it's fairly short!) will do. Some primers are very heavy in silicone which makes your skin feel a bit odd - that's why I like this one as it doesn't feel like that at all.

"I've heard through our friend, Cathe Kruger, that you are embarking on an exciting endeavor with your new business & life strategy consultancy, Joyful Planet. Congratulations! I share your vision of a more joyful planet created by 7.2 billion people all coming from a place of joy, engaging joyfully with one another and making joy-filled contributions to the world. My heart fills with joy to know that you are dedicating your life to this vision!
I wish you much success, fulfillment and JOY in this important work for our people and planet.
Thank you, again, for all the great work that you and your former agencies, PadillaCRT, CRT/tanaka and PT&Co., have done for more than a decade in bringing hope, love and joy to the people of South Africa through your valuable support of The Phelophepa Train of Hope.
With Much Gratitude and Joy!"
- Desmond Tutu, Archbishop-Emeritus, Cape Town, South Africa
"Patrice Tanaka is an inspirational speaker, mentor and powerful force who spreads the message to 'pursue your joy with a sense of urgency.' I'm grateful to have been the beneficiary of her encouragement to pursue my joy. Patrice was one of the first people to suggest that I start my own publishing business. And as a testament to her confidence in me, she also signed up her then-PR agency to be my first client.
Today, I am the publisher of CommPRO.biz, a global community of 95,000+ global corporate communications C-suite professionals. I've had the great good fortune to provide the platform (at a NYC networking reception and a Google+ Hangout On-Air) for Patrice to share her message of "joy" with the CommPRO community. She 'wowed' them. Her talks, her words – pure joy.
I am so thrilled to see Patrice focusing her energy through Joyful Planet to help many others live their life's purpose and unleash greater fulfillment and joy in their life. Our planet is definitely a more joyful one because of Patrice!"
- Fay Shapiro, Publisher & CEO, CommPRO Global, Inc.
"Patrice Tanaka presented to my three Business Executives Group in December of 2017. Her topic, 'Discover your life & leadership purpose,' was in alignment with the goals of my groups. All of my business executives strive to grow their businesses, and grow as leaders of those businesses. This presentation got them out of their normal comfort zone and asked them to look at their lives and a bigger purpose of being. Patrice has a wonderful life story about how she was led to discover her life's purpose and how that discovery has changed her life. A must experience for any leader."
- Jon Jennings, Vistage Master Chair North Dakota, Vistage International.
"Patrice has been a long-time leader of New York Women in Communications as a Matrix Award winner and former President of our organization. We are thrilled that she continues to give back to NYWICI as a coach and mentor through her new consultancy, Joyful Planet. She is warm, loving and highly effective. Recently, Patrice conducted a 90-minute 'Coaching Salon' entitled, 'Live Your Life's Purpose and Unleash Your Joy' for 20 of our members, which was very positively received. She generously extended free follow-up sessions to participants, which was greatly appreciated by everyone especially those who took her up on her offer. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Patrice for individual coaching, group workshops and inspirational speaking engagements on her favorite topic, living your life's purpose."
- Maria Ungaro, Executive Director, New York Women in Communications
"Patrice is an answer to my prayers. As a non-profit professional eager to make a career change to corporate philanthropy, I was in dire need of support and guidance. Patrice was more than I prayed for, she is an advocate, connector, cheerleader and role model.
Patrice and I met through the mentoring program at New York Women In Communications. Patrice mentored me and four other women, all at various stages in our careers. Patrice generously gave of her time and wisdom in support of our career aspirations. I was a perfect stranger but Patrice believed in me as if we were family. Throughout my journey of defeats and finally victory, Patrice's faith in me never wavered. Without hesitation, Patrice would reach out to her contacts and connect me with professionals that would typically be out of my reach. It is rare to find a mentor who is genuinely invested in their mentee's success and happiness, but I did.
Patrice has single-handedly changed the trajectory of my professional career because she shared her time and network with me. Patrice is a beautiful example of how we can all make a difference in someone's life by simply sharing what we have."
- Shana Savage, Global Philanthropy, Financial Services Company
"I wanted to reach out to thank you personally for your contributions to such a great session at the 2017 Net Impact Conference. I have read through the evaluations, and wanted to share a few comments that attendees shared about your session:
- 'Loved this workshop. Patrice was so knowledgeable, thoughtful and experienced.'
- 'The speaker was amazing! Loved the very specific examples. Appreciated how she looked at the WHOLE picture.'
- 'This model of framework will shape the way I think about my career from now on. My whole perspective has changed!' "
- Katie Burns, Senior Associate Conference & Events, Net Impact
"Patrice's mission to help create a more joyful planet is evident in everything she says and does. As a mentor, she helps put that at the center of one's decision-making; as a friend, her warmth is all-enveloping; and as a business leader, her personal journey is awe-inspiring. If you're looking for a business coach or speaker who will help you take your own steps towards finding and fulfilling your joy, look no further than Patrice."
- Shonali Burke, Shonali Burke Consulting, Social PR Strategist, Adjunct Faculty, The Johns Hopkins University, Founder, #measurePR and Social PR Virtuoso
"Patrice has been a JOY to work with! Her guidance, extensive executive experience, and most importantly her ability to spark joy in the origination and fulfillment of my Purpose has resulted in getting my dream job with THE top leader in the technology space!
Thank you Patrice for challenging me, supporting me and your ongoing encouragement! I feel your smile every time we speak and can put my best foot forward in the world thanks to you! Mahalo!!!"
- So Yun M., Digital Product leader
"Patrice and I worked together for more than 25 years. I was the very first person she hired and now, more than 25 years later, my relationship with Patrice continues to be strong, rewarding and important. Patrice has been my boss, my colleague, my partner, my coach, my muse and a dear friend. Our collaboration over the years has resulted in hundreds of award-winning campaigns for clients and co-founding three PR agencies recognized as the '#1 Most Creative' and 'Best Workplace' in America. I know first-hand that Patrice is dedicated to helping people live their best lives in the workplace and beyond it. It is this commitment that compelled Patrice to leave PR, a profession she loves and one in which she is recognized as one of the industry's leading lights. Through her new consultancy, Patrice offers rich and wide-ranging experience, her unique blend of creativity and practicality, passion, warmth, enthusiasm and a powerful desire to bring more joy into the lives of individuals, organizations and the planet. I highly recommend working with Patrice. There really is no one else like her!"
- Ellen LaNicca, Co-Founder, Senior Vice President, PadillaCRT
"If I could have one mentor for the rest of my life, it would be Patrice Tanaka. Her savvy, intuition, integrity, and heart make her a highly attuned and effective coach. And her generous aloha spirit, commitment to living with purpose and joy, and her own deep life and career experience made brainstorming sessions both practical and profound. I am clearer, more empowered and energized because of my work with her."
- Patty Chang Anker, author of Some Nerve, and communications consultant
"I've known, worked with and for Patrice for 15 years and I can always count on her to bring new ideas into our conversations. She is both interesting and interested and that's not easily found in these days of personal branding. I can think of no better person to spur creativity and community in the workplace than Patrice. Over the many years that she owned a multiple of award-winning PR agencies, she created a wonderful spirit that led to great results for her clients. She's done amazing things through the development of her own life purpose and I believe is a great person to help others do the same."
- Jon Stamell, CEO, Futureshift
"Patrice is an outstanding inspirational and informational speaker. She was the featured speaker on the topic of 'Leadership Lessons from the Ballroom World' at both the Yale Club and the Princeton Club. I organized these programs at both clubs.
The audiences immediately responded to her vision of finding joy in everything we do. Her personal and professional journey seen through the lens of ballroom dancing was daring, courageous and elevating to see and hear. The audience connected with her enthusiasm and commitment to live in the possibility that life presents to us. And, at the Princeton Club, we learned some ballroom steps!"
- Marty Katz, President, Synapse Partnership
"As the Co-Chair of Washington Women in Public Relations, we were thrilled to have Patrice keynote our 25th annual PR Woman of the Year awards back in November of 2014. Patrice was so wonderful to work with and had a tremendously powerful story to share. Her speech on 'Living Your Life Purpose and Unleashing Your Joy' resonated with our guests that day and gave us all a lot to think about."
- Mara Vandlik, President, Washington Women in Public Relations
"It fills me with great joy to write this enthusiastic recommendation for Patrice Tanaka, Chief Joy Officer of Joyful Planet. Patrice has helped to co-found three award-winning, PR agencies that have been recognized as the '#1 Most Creative' and 'Best Workplace' in America. I believe those honors were strongly driven by her ability to help bring more joy into those workplaces, whether for the team, the clients, or those agency's leaders.
I really can't think of anyone more qualified to help you bring more joy to your life or your workplace, which is now proven as a key tool to retain and attract top talent, as well as a way to improve work output, enhance creative product, and grow business. I'm absolutely confident that she'll be able do this for individuals and companies through all her offerings, whether one-on-one consulting, group workshops, or speaking engagements, all of which encourage people to discover and actively live their life's purpose.
How am I so sure that Patrice is so effective at this? Not only have I experienced her living and sharing the philosophy of joy as a close friend for more than two decades, but Patrice was one of the first people to encourage me to pursue my love for training and coaching. And, when I started Jacobs Communications Consulting, she offered me the opportunity to conduct a workshop at her then-agency's annual retreat, which helped me to successfully launch my business. Years later, at her Becoming Ginger Rogers book launch party in 2011 I heard Patrice talk about her life's purpose to help create a more joyful world. I was so inspired by her words that I decided to expand beyond consulting and leading training workshops, and undergo training and certification so I could become an executive-leadership coach and help people live more fulfilling and joy-filled lives. As a result, I now have a multi-faceted career that brings me infinite joy on a daily basis, and a life far richer and more fulfilling than I ever could have imagined. You should work with Patrice to empower you and your employees to do the same!
- Ken Jacobs, Principal, Certified Executive Coach and Jacobs Communications Consulting

Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040510 Epiphany/1.2.4
Description of problem:
If you want to create a new (custon) style in the Stylist or using
Format -> Styles -> Catalogue... -> New... the text content of the
Stylist begins to flicker at about 10 Hz. During this time the CPU
load on my computer (P4mobile, 2GHz) raises from 20% to 40% (Gnome
System Monitor). From this time the new created style cannot be
selected, therefore not deleted or edited using the stylist. If you
delete the style using the Format -> Styles -> Catalogue... -> Delete
menu the flickering stops and the system load remains at 20%.
Loading previous created graphics causes also the flickering and the
high CPU load. These drawings were created using OOo 1.0.3 to 1.1.1
(from several Linux Distributors or downloaded form the OOo project
The funny thing is (according to the OOo website) that Draw and
Impress are mainly based on the same code. In Impress these problems
do not occur.
Using the Stylist in Impress has two modes: graphic object styles and
presentation object styles. Therefore both icons above the textbox are
shown. Normally in OOo Draw (as I remember from previous versions of
OOo) the right icon containing the presentation object styles is
deactivated (and grayed). Therefore the style mode can't be changed.
Here the icon is active and can be selected - for a short period of
time you can see the presentation object styles in Draw. Then the mode
switches back to graphic object styles.
The icon of the watering can in Draw's Stylist flickers the whole time.
Another problem: Editing text in Draw (not Impress) causes CPU load to
rise on 40%. Some icons of the format icon bar beginn to flicker
(approx. 10 Hz): Left Alignment to Numbering on/off (=10 icons).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start OpenOffice.org Draw OR create an new OpenOffice.org Draw
2. Open Stylist. Right click on any style and select "New..."
3. Confirm the dialog (it's not necessary to change any settings).
-> The text begins to flicker.
Actual Results: Text in textbox flickers.
Custom styles cannot be selected (deleted, edited) using Stylist.
"Presentation object styles" can be selected, but do not work.
High CPU load.
Flickering of on symbol in the stylist the whole time.
Expected Results: Stylist should behave like in OOo Impress.
Additional info:
* I've tested it on two personal computers running Fedora Core 2
(OpenOffice.org 1.1.1). This error occured on both PCs. All updates
have been applied.
* I'm using german language on my computer, so I hope I've used the
correct terms to describe the problem.
i can see the same problem using openoffice.org-1.1.1-6
I have the same problem using OpenOffice.org-1.1.1 on Fedora C2.
cannot reproduce with what will be come 1.1.2-5, look for it soon.
Problem still persist in FC3 test2 OOo 1.1.2
Ben, as Dan said in comment #3 he can't reproduce it 1.1.2-5, FC3T2
contains 1.1.2-3.
1.1.2-5 should be soon in Rawhide, you may want to test that
Is there going to be an update for Fedora C2?
Yes, I hope to be able to get a 1.1.2-5 for FC2 and FC1 when its done
for FC3. ATM, we are dying on x86 due to changes in glibc that expose
a bug in OO's core tools, causing a tool to crash during the build
Please test with the openoffice.org-1.1.2-5 RPMs in Rawhide, it should
be fixed in that version. If the problem persists with that version,
please reopen this bug. Thanks!
Problem still persists in 1.1.2-6
When the flickering occurs (stylist active), the CPU usage of the
"metacity" process jumps to 13-14%. Without the stylist active the CPU
usage is 0-1%.

Research opportunities
The Deep Space Gateway offers new opportunities for fundamental and applied scientific research. Although primarily driven by human exploration goals, the Deep Space Gateway could support research on life sciences, physical sciences, astronomy, Earth sciences, planetary sciences, or technology.
If research is to be performed on this strategic platform then it must be designed and prepared with an understanding of the capabilities that enable this research. The research opportunities will be limited to those that have limited impact on design and resource requirements. The platform will be optimised to perform the exploration enabling tasks for which it has been defined. Research enabling capabilities may then be incorporated into the system where programmatic, operational, and technical parameters allow.
For this reason, in August 2017, the European Space Agency issued a Call for Ideas to consult the science community in Europe to identify where opportunities could exist for utilisation of this new crewed platform near the Moon, and to specify the capabilities and facilities that would need to exist to enable this research to be performed.
Possible research areas
The International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) has conducted a consultation to establish opportunities related to the various destinations and missions associated with its Global Exploration Roadmap (pdf, 4.5MB).
The consultation resulted in a Science White Paper on the Scientific Opportunities Enabled by Human Exploration Beyond Low-Earth-Orbit (pdf, 2.1 MB), which includes high-level descriptions of a number of scientific areas that could benefit from human operations in lunar vicinity.
These include:
In addition, a number of opportunistic investigation areas were identified for the cruise phase to the Moon. These include:

Yesterday was a perfect warm and sunny Spring Day…
… I took the chance and made a pano of the first blooming flowers.
The pano is not a normal pano where the camera is rotating at the nodal point.
I took every 20cm a set of 5 bracketed images over a distance of 8m. So finally the pano contains 200 images.
I used an aperture of 32 resulting in exposure times of up to 4 seconds per image.
I had to quick and dirty correct bottom right grass area
I used Photomatix Pro to enfuse the images and autopano pro to create the pano and Panotour pro to create the flash tour.

ASSEMBLY AREA is a designated zone in the rear of the firing line, approximately 25 yards, where the next relay of competitors can complete their preparations for the match and receive instruction and advice from their coach or team captain.
AIMING AREA is the center area of the target as against an aiming point on the target which is extremely difficult to attain due to the universal presence of movement in the shooter's hold.
BREATH CONTROL is the ability to temporarily suspend breathing while firing a shot without being conscious of the need to take another breath. This awareness disturbs the shooter's concentration on maintaining perfect sight alignment.
BALL AND DUMMY is a training exercise wherein the shooter makes an effort to employ all the control factors for firing a good shot. The ammunition inserted into the pistol by the coach is a random selection of live or dummy ammunition. This training aids the shooter in overcoming reaction to the recoil and loud noise of firing, preventing uncontrolled reflexes from disturbing the hold, and perfecting sight alignment.
THE CENTER FIRE PISTOL FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION is similar to the pistol used in NRA domestic competition. The trigger pull is three pounds as compared to the NRA requirement of 2 1/2 pounds. Caliber .38 is the normal size used.
DRY FIRING is a training exercise wherein the shooter employs all the factors of controlling the firing of an accurate shot without using live ammunition.
FOLLOW THROUGH is the effort on the part of the shooter to continue the employment of the fundamentals throughout the deliver of the shot exactly as they were planned and set-up.
THE FREE PISTOL is a special design of competitive weapon for achieving the ultimate in accuracy from a handgun. It is 22 caliber long rifle. The majority of free pistols have a longer barrel than the normal pistol and an extended sight radius. The trigger weight is extremely light and is adjustable from 1/2 oz to 1 1/2 ozs. There is a form fitting grip for the hand.
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PISTOL MARKSMANSHIP are those essential factors that the shooter must know and learn to control in order to fire an accurate shot.
THE GRIP of the shooting hand on the pistol provides the shooter with a firm hold on the weapon that prevents shifting during recoil and a natural alignment of the sights without moving the head or wrist from their normal attitudes.
HARD BALL ammunition is the term used to describe the .45 caliber service type of pistol ammunition.
INTERNATIONAL SHOOTING UNION is the organization that sponsors and controls all international firing competitions between nations. The headquarters is in Weisbaden, West Germany.
MENTAL DISCIPLINE in pistol marksmanship is the shooter's ability to maintain his concentration on sight alignment while the other fundamentals of minimum arc of movement and trigger control are being employed at their optimum.
MINIMUM ARC OF MOVEMENT is the smallest degree of movement that the shooter can attain in the body shooting arm and weapon during the time of firing a shot.
THE NATIONAL MATCH COURSE OF FIRE is a three stage pistol match. The first stage is ten shots in ten minutes, fired at 50 yards. The second stage is two strings of five shots each timed fire, 20 seconds each string at 25 yards. The third stage is two strings of five shots each rapid fire, ten seconds each string at 25 yards for a total of 30 shots.
POSITIVE PRESSURE on the trigger is an uninterrupted, constantly increasing pressure applied by the trigger finger in an effort to fire the shot. This pressure is initiated by the presence of a satisfactory minimum arc of movement in conjunction with perfect sight alignment, not perfect sight picture. A perfect sight picture is the absence of movement combined with perfect sight alignment.
POSITION of a pistol shooter is the relationship of the shooter's body to the target. Proper or natural positioning of the shooter's body points the shooting arm directly at the target center without deviation.
RAPID FIRE is a type of pistol match or a stage of the National Match Course of fire where a string of five shots are fired consecutively during a period of ten seconds. A Rapid Fire Match is a series of four such strings and the National Match Course includes two strings.
THE RAPID FIRE PISTOL is a special design of competitive 22 caliber short weapon for firing in international rapid fire competition. It's outstanding characteristics are minimum recoil, dependability and fast semi-automatic operation.
SQUADDING TICKET is a card issued to each shooter in a pistol match that indicates the caliber of weapon, the relay of firing, and the target number for each of a succession of matches scheduled to be fired during the tournament.
SLOW FIRE is a type of pistol match or a stage of the National Match Course of fire where a period of one minute is allowed for each of a maximum of 10 or 20 shots.
SIGHT ALIGNMENT is the relationship of the front sight to the notch of the rear sight as seen by the shooter's eye. The top of the front sight must be level with the top of the rear sight and the light space must be equal on each side for the front sight.
STANCE is the posture assumed by a pistol shooter while firing a shot.
THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD PISTOL is similar to the caliber .22 weapons used in domestic NRA competition. The barrel length is limited to 15 centimeters and the trigger pull is limited to 1000 grams.
TIMED FIRE is a type of pistol match or a stage of the national match course of fire where a string of five shots are fired consecutively during a period of 20 seconds. A timed fire match is a series of four such strings and the National Match Course includes two strings.
TRIGGER CONTROL is the ability of the pistol shooter to apply pressure on the trigger to fire the weapon without disturbing sight alignment.
WAD - CUTTER pistol ammunition has a type of bullet that is shaped to cut a clean hole in the target face. This sharp edge enables the scorer to readily and accurately evaluate the hit.
ZEROING is the technique of setting your sights so that a shot called good, (undisturbed perfect sight alignment and minimum arc of movement) will hit the center of the target on an ideal day with no wind.

Sometimes I look at our figurine collection and I ask myself "maybe we have too many". Sometimes I think about all the ones we have and all the ones we have pre-ordered and all the ones on our wish list and just get overwhelmed. Dani asks me to write a figurine review today so I plant myself in front of our display cases and wonder which I should do. You would think with over 200 figurines this would not be a problem but for some reason, the more we have the harder it gets.
Well, today I finally decided after looking at the figurine case to do Kataoka Yuuki from the anime Saki. Sometimes I wonder how popular this anime is because it is themed around Mahjong but I do think it had a bit of a following mainly due to the amazingly cute girls. Since there is no figurine of Saki herself <that I know of please don't tell me if there is, I like my money> we will have to do with this one. She is … probably… oh crap well shes CLOSE to my favorite character from the series. Saki is super adorable but there is also the mega loli as well, which there was a figurine of.
Without starting to babble on, we got this figurine from Japan in our trip. The figurine itself has a small bit of history with me. I saw it on Hobbyfan one day and was STOKED to get it, I ordered it instantly and was so freaking happy to have it. When it came to ship it, I was emailed saying it was missing its head and they had to cancel the order…. missing its head… I was like…. wtf? Anyways needless to say when we were in Japan we saw it and of course I had to buy it, it was fate.
Wow 3 paragraphs and nothing for my wife to take a real picture of yet… Anyways, this figurine as you saw was made by Alter, we bought it for 6800 yen if I recall and we purchased it from a place called Robot Robot, in the same building as the Good Smile Cafe. Its a 1/8th figurine scale and was released almost 2 years ago in June 10th of 2010.
I wasn't super concerned about the figurine being of poor quality since it was being made by Alter. That was a constant issue in Japan, I never really did much go into it in my daily talks but there was a shit ton of figurines there. Mostly made by companies I had never heard of but the prices were rock bottom. There was at least… 20 figurines I would have purchased for 1400-2800 yen that were full scale characters I like but just…. yeah…. Huh? what? oh right were not talking about Japan this is supposed to be a figurine review! GET OFF MY BACK *chases cat out of room* yes I really did chase one of my cats out…
The figurine captures the character well, she has the bright beaming face as she is the resident ADD chick from the anime. She has her bag of tacos and another taco in her other arm so I really can't complain there. She still has her cute little cat …. scarf…. belt…. thingy? That was one of the best points about her in the anime, how the cat… scarf…belt… thingy… always mimicked her face exactly oh god i miss her.
The painting is crisp and clean, there really is not a lot of detail work on this figurine that you could mess up on. On her right arm there is a little bit of marring on the sleeve but nothing any collector would really notice unless they knew exactly what they were looking for. Its hard to think of anything standoutish on this figurine except for her face. She does come with a few other hands I believe, my wife will snap shots of those, frankly when I put a figurine out on display, it has one display and only that one will stay in my mind, its the way I want it.
Something I might be a little concerned with is her stance. It does seem like she might have a bit of a lean issue in the future, its … kinda hard to tell on this one. I should honestly take some sort of measurement of it right now so that i can keep it to check it later. If this is a leaner, I will have to put her back into her box and into storage like our Tony Version of Miku. That would make me sad.
Another thing that semi bothers me is the rear view of her. You can see her panties a little bit too clearly and I just don't see this character in that light. She is the cuter younger sister type to me and to flagrantly show her panties like that does bother me a little bit. Probably one of the only figurines in my collection that this bothers me. I don't think it was shown like this in the anime….. maybe it was.
The Base for the figurine is nothing special but at the same time it seems to keep with the flow of overwhelming cuteness. I can definitely appreciate it having the cute little cat face, however it is a little weird that it has her name on it like that.
Overall I am not really sure how I feel about this figurine. Its a little basic but at the same time, she is such an adorable character. There is nothing wrong with it in really any fashion except personal preference and opinion so I 'd have to give it a 87%. I don't like the fact it might have a lean on it, there is a little marring on the right hand cuff and I feel they could of done more with the base. This might be a little bit of a harsher judgement then it deserves because as I say, there really is nothing wrong with it but… as a figurine reviewer I do mark things on a curve and sadly we do have a huge curve here at Nyaa Figurines. I would definitely recommend this figurine to any fan of the series or to anyone who loves this type of girl. However to your normal figurine collector, I could see this one flying under the radar easily.
That's it for this week, sorry if things seem a little mish mash, its hard for me to focus on this after what feels like not doing it for awhile, let us know what you think about the figurine. Also I'd be interested to know if there is any Saki fans out there? Or if any of you guys enjoy a good game of Riichi Mahjong. For those of you who are in fact interested, I do have a flash game that I learned off of, the PC doesn't seem to be THAT hard but keep in mind, if you don't know how to play it can be complicated to learn Japanese Mahjong first.

BRUSSELS, July 5 (Reuters) - EU lawmakers rejected on Thursday the tough position recommended by a key committee on an overhaul of EU copyright rules which aim to make tech giants such as Google and Facebook share revenues with publishers, broadcasters and artists.
The revamp has triggered strong criticism from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, net neutrality expert Tim Wu, internet pioneer Vint Cerf and others.
Europe's broadcasters, publishers and artistes such as Paul McCartney back the overhaul, saying it would level the playing field for contents holders.
A total of 318 law makers voted against opening talks with EU countries based on the committee's proposal while 278 voted in favour, and 31 abstained. (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee and Robert-Jan Bartunek)

Ottawa Humane Society prepares for busiest day of the year
How can you help? Leave your pet at home!
With the annual Canada Day festivities just around the corner, the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) is preparing for its own traditional event — the busiest day of the year.
"Every Canada Day, we receive a flood of calls about lost animals, and we admit more animals on that day than any other of the entire year," says Bruce Roney, OHS Executive Director.
Part of the reason for the high admission is the annual fireworks show that happens in Ottawa. Almost all animals are terrified of fireworks, so the OHS recommends leaving your companion animal at home when you head out to the Hill, or to a neighbourhood celebration. "Even a well-trained dog can become spooked at the sound of fireworks and quickly bolt," says Mr. Roney. "Many, many animals turn up at the OHS each year because they panicked and ran away after hearing such loud noises."
Pets inside the home can also experience stress from the noise caused by fireworks and other loud celebratory noises. It's best to keep animals in a quiet room, with access to food and water, for a few hours during and after the fireworks to calm them down.
And should you choose to leave your animal with someone else this summer, make sure you provide that person with appropriate documentation (including an emergency number, letter of consent, past vet bills etc.). This proof of owner information will give your designated caregiver the authority to claim the animal on your behalf, should your pet become lost and turn up at a shelter.
By following these simple precautions, both you and your pet can enjoy safe summer celebrations.
Anyone who sees an animal in distress should contact the OHS Emergency Animal Protection Services immediately at 613-725-1532.
For media inquiries, contact:
Tara Jackson, Communications Manager

Reasons Why Fans like Youngstown
Since we (Shanen, Julie, & Chelsea) being the huge Youngstown fans that we are, decided that we would like to let people know why we like them & things that they do that we like. I like Ytown doesn't get enough credit for some of the things they do. They are so funny! So we put this section up to let them & other fans know what's so cool about Ytown. They deserve a section like this so here it is. It's been long overdue!!!
If you have anything to contribute, send it to:
Thank you!
1.) They all have a great sense of humor
2.) We like when Sammy pretends to fight those two little kids
3.) When DC is video taping, talking about Sammy gaining weight, losing weight, & the whole in his head.
4.)They are talented singers (These aren't going in order obviously. This would be number 1)
5.) When Dallas messes up on the piano. You gotta admit it's cute.
6.) They sing the pirate song with Steps......LOL
7.) They dance so good. (When they dance with "those" background dancers!!! WOWIE!)
8.) We like how Sammy laughs while he's playing the drums
9.) Dallas's new blonde hair. It looks hot on him.
10.) Their smiles!!
11.) DC's dimples when he smirks (Shanen has a thing for both! It's fate for her)
12.) Their eyes. They have amazing eyes. So pretty!
13.) When DC forgot what the question was! (during the disney concert)
14.) They treat their fans with respect & really appriciate everything anyone has done for them.
15.) They have style. The dress sooooooo good!
(That's one of Shanen's fave. reasons)
17.) Their live performances totally rock!
18.) The way DC says 'Frick & Frack'
19.) Sammy is Latin! He's got soul! hee hee hee
20.) They still mow yards
21.) Fame hasn't gone to their heads (& it wont! Us fans wont let it)
22.) They don't do all the dancing all the time. They have dancers (Guys & Girls)
23.) Dallas's lower lip peircing! It looks tight!
24.) They always put the Lord before anything else
25.) They kiss some of their fans (Not THAT way!!!) (they kissed us!....hee hee hee)
26.) Their first CD "Let's Roll" kicks ass! Don't skip through any of the songs!
27.) Their tatoos are sooooo cool. DC's little angel one is cute. Have you seen Dallas' new one? The flames look so cool! We like that one!
28.) They care for the safety of their fans at their concerts.
29.) They have conversations with you when you get their autograph. They don't just sign it & then go to the next preson. They actually talk to you.....if you talk too!
30.) They way Dallas wiped away a girls tears when she was crying at the concert. What compassion!!!
31.) The way DC makes sure to wear lots of jewelry to give away at the concerts.....hee hee hee
Notice not even once did we say "They are sooooo Hot!" or "They're fine". We proved that their is more to them than just looking good. Ya, they are fine but there are way better reasons to like them than that. That's not original! LOL. Besides, we hope you like them for better reasons than that too~!
