Also, thank heaven for Trainer
Ow. *whimper*.
On a 3½% tip, the stairmaster that looks like actual stairs is *much* more effective than the other kind. This kind? Is made entirely of pure evil and PAIN.
I'll be doing it again tomorrow. *sigh*
Also, why do I find that Jimmy Dean planets commercial to be so cute?
In other random thoughts, did you know that iPhone's autocorrect feature is adaptive? That is, over time, it will recognize things that you type regularly – onomatopoeias that you use regularly, or words that you intentionally misspell (I CAN haz cheezburger!), etc. A recent conversation made me think about how interesting it would be to gather a group of people and compare their personal lexicons for their iPhones. I suspect this would reveal some interesting qualities about the users and their relationships to the people they text and email the most.

Special Forces, all right
Trainer has decided to get creative. And by "get creative", I mean "indulge his long-denied fantasy of being a drill instructor".
He's been cribbing moves from special forces training manuals, apparently. Which is why I was crawling like there was barbed wire a few inches above my body, crouch-walking the length of the exercise room several times over, and various other things that had my legs shaking with exhaustion by 15 minutes into the workout.
If I had wanted to be special forces, I probably would have, you know, SIGNED UP TO BE IN THE MILITARY. As it is, it will probably TAKE special forces to get me up the stairs to my condo by the time I get home this evening.
On the plus side, the gold lamé dress is going to look fantastic, and I'm pretty sure that's not something they let you wear when you're special forces. Not unless The Nanny is their new wardrobe consultant.

In which our heroine gets some good news
and maybe delivers a tiny little PSA:
1) Guess who has two thumbs and no cancer, for sure (for now)?
2) Jagerbombs are never a good idea. Especially on a Monday.
3) Playing pool (or doing pretty much anything) well is a great way to take your mind to a more positive place. Once you start handling one thing well, no matter how trivial it is, the rest of everything seems a little less daunting, somehow.
4) This does not make me any less apprehensive about the Furniture Assembly Project I have scheduled for this weekend. Regardless of the sweetgum tree's intentions, I suspect bruising will be involved.
5) I'm stocking up on bubble bath and Viognier. These are always good things to have on hand, when bruising is anticipated.

Sweet Gum Tree
This. This is why Dr. Taggart *really* warned me about going to school in "The South". Of course, it didn't happen until I'd been out of school for a while and had decided to make my stay more permanent.
See, where I'm from, we don't have anything called a "sweet gum" tree. Our trees? Would cringe in embarrassment at such a moniker. They are called things like Oak. And Elm. And Beech. And Birch, who is forever trying to prove how manly it is. Maple gets a pass for having a "fancy", two-syllable name, but only because of its delicious, delicious syrup.
And to a point, they still drop pollen and annoying little propeller things or wormy-looking flower things everywhere. But they do not drop little balls of evil (called gumballs, though they are not sugary or tasty or anything you'd ever want to put in your mouth) all over everything:
Little balls of evil that coat the walkways and grassy areas of your condo complex. So that when you're carrying something heavy to the trash area, in the dark, you might step on them. And they might roll. And you might falls, possibly partially under the heavy THING you were carrying, ONTO MORE STUPID GUMBALL THINGS.
And then you might wind up with several deep bruises, roughly the size and shape of the stupid little gumball things. Except, of course, that one spot on your hip, where you fell on several of them that had gotten stuck together, so you have a 3-4 gumball-sized bruise.
It might have seemed like Dr. Taggart was talking about cultural differences and the inability to find really good Italian or rye bread, or the extent to which I'd miss a salt bagel with Taylor ham and cheese, but I now understand that this is what she meant.
Beware the sweetgum tree, and all of its Yankee-attacking booby-trapping-ness.

STILL upset
Last night, I played twice. I won one, I lost one.
I was annoyed at my coaches both times. But the one I'm still mad about, was the one where my coach essentially told me that I was going to lose, so I should use the game as a learning experience, and experiment with different types of shots/English that I don't normally take. I missed my very next shot, and lost.
Now, I'm not an idiot, or illogical, most of the time. And I knew I was going to lose – the girl I was playing was on a completely different level (we can discuss her ranking/sandbagging/completely snotty attitude later).
But there's something about someone else saying out loud – someone who was supposed to be on my team – that completely demoralized me. And afterward, I told him I thought that was a jerky thing to do – and it was implied that I was overreacting, that I was taking it the wrong way.
I don't know. I think that in general, unless you have something to say that will get me closer to winning the game at hand, maybe you can just shut the hell up. Telling me that I'm going to lose under the guise of "taking the pressure off" doesn't survive a cost-benefit analysis.

-roared the anguished Humbug, who suddenly realized that that was exactly what he'd eaten twenty-three bowls of.
It's Wednesday! And we know what happens on Wednesday – I voluntarily submit myself to Trainer for a good pummelling. Today was no different.
Except, well… normally, he has me do X number of reps for each exercise, and that number is announced before I start, and he counts them down for me. And he'll tell me when I'm halfway done, as a sort of encouraging measure.
Also, when he has me run on the treadmill without turning it on, for three minutes? He'll tell me when I'm halfway done with that too – which would be more encouraging if time didn't slow down to half-speed whenever he has me do that. Anyway.
So, normally, that's what we do. And last week, he increased the weight I was using for a number of the exercises, and that was cool. Painful, but cool. This week?
This week, he KEPT ADDING TEN MORE.
40 reps on the leg extension? Sure. Oh, you've got ten more in you, let's see 'em.
40 reps on the leg curl? Oh, you've got ten more in you. Let's see 'em.
35 reps on the tricep pulldown? 30 on the assisted dip machine? Let's see another ten on each.
I have never felt so cheated in my life. Okay, that's a lie. But I certainly thought it was the truth at several points in time this morning.
Which doesn't explain why – when he had me doing this squat to jump to squat to jump back thing, and he told me to do 50 reps, and then tried to tell me I was done at 40 – why, exactly, I told him that I still had ten more to do.
Because that's just like asking for another bowl of Subtraction Stew, when you know exactly what it is you've eaten twenty-three bowls of already.

Biannual Tango
Longer ago than I care to admit, I had some minor surgery to remove some cancerous cells.
Seriously. Compared to what other people go through when THEY have cancer, this was nothing. In fact, the doctors all seemed to avoid saying that I had cancer, likely because the category in which I fell indicated that it was barely over the cusp of becoming cancer.
So, I had biopsies, then an outpatient procedure, and then a truckload of monitoring for a year or two after. And then I had a year, maybe two, of apparent normalcy.
The problem is, abnormal cells don't walk around with large signs announcing their presence to doctors. They can hide, sometimes. And so, the biannual tango began.
It starts with a regular visit. And the usual tests are run. And then two weeks later, I get phone call, and the results come back "abnormal". And so I go back, and get biopsied. And then I wait a few more weeks. And then they tell me that it's not great, but it's not the end of the world, and if I could just come back in 6 months, they'll check me again. Dip, turn.
And then I go. And the usual tests are run. And then two weeks later I get a phone call, and the results come back "abnormal". And so I go back, and I get biopsied. And then I wait a few more weeks. And then they tell me that it's still not great, but it's not the end of the world, and if I could just come back in 6 months, they'll check me again.
6 7 8 and 1…
I have no idea what I would do with all of my spare time, if it all just went away. Maybe some dancing lessons.

Smile, and the rest will follow
You know how they say that if you smile, the rest of your outlook, and subsequently your day, will become positive as a result?
Well, my body, fresh from a session of training, is NOT smiling. My body is, to put it bluntly, 97% mush. The other 3%, located in the general vicinity of the bottom of my left calf, is screaming bloody murder and spasming in a comically randomized fashion.
Thus, 97% of my brain is mush, but for the 3% that (a) registers the pain in my calf, and (b) maintains basic bodily functions such as breathing, and fantasizing about caffeine and sleep. And chopping down the tree whose virtues I have extolled several times thus far, as I have discovered that it is a maple tree and guess who developed a new allergy to maple this season?
Except that as soon as I think about moving my arms like that, my calf spasms again, as if to say "Learn your lesson, you silly girl!" And then my brain twitches, as if to say, "Meh. I am too tired and mushy to learn."
So, yeah. There's not going to be a whole heck of a lot of smiling positivity today. I think the best we can hope for is ploddingly neutral. Who's with me?!?
March 17, 2010
Speaking of exercise…
I was personally trained this morning. And the thing about personal training, is that I love it because it makes me do things that I would not think of doing, because I grew up in an era of Bowflex and NordicTrac commercials, where exercise was associated with machines.
Also, it makes me do things that I don't want to do. And because I am paying someone to make me do them, I try harder and push myself more, because I have been *assigned* a certain number of reps and he is standing there counting them off, and I'm NOT going to be the wimpy client who whines and tries to cheat.
I really recommend this for anyone who *loves* to-do lists. Because once he's started to count down those last ten reps, I get more enthusiastic about the exercise, especially if it's one I don't like (see: most things involving push-ups, especially push-ups with one hand on a medicine ball; see also: squat-thrusts in their various forms). Because if it's one you don't like, you're only 10! 9! 8! 7! etc. reps away from not having to do it again at least until the next week, possibly longer if he decides that next week will involve the little wheely abdominal torture device.
Now, the real question – can I do the personal training in the morning AND go for a run in the balmy, 64-degree, light-until-7:20 evening?
What are you doing to get/stay in shape?

The correct frequency of cleanings depends on several factors:
- Are you very prone to cavities? If so, you should have your teeth cleaned more often in order to keep cavity formation under control.
- Do you have periodontal disease (gum disease) that continues to worsen despite cleanings every 6 months? More frequent cleanings should be provided to control the disease.
- Are you unable to keep your teeth clean daily? Some patients have arthritis in their hands and are unable to effectively clean their teeth. Others are simply unwilling or too busy to brush and floss regularly. In either case, if you want to avoid needing invasive treatment, cleanings should be performed more often. Plaque and bacteria grow quickly on teeth.
- Do you have artificial joints, heart valves or cardiovascular disease? If so, you should consider having more frequent cleanings. Oral plaque and bacteria can adversely affect your systemic and cardiovascular health. If you wish to avoid complications, arrange for more frequent cleanings. If you have these conditions and wish to avoid frequent cleanings, keep your mouth very clean on a daily basis.
- If you have never had a cavity or experienced gum disease and are able to keep your teeth very clean, you may only need cleanings every year or two. The amount of people that fall into this category is small.
The procedure
Professional cleanings remove everything that doesn't belong on your teeth. This includes food particles, plaque, tartar and stains. Our registered s will meticulously and comfortably clean your teeth, making them shine. First, ultrasonic scalers are used to remove the bulk of the bacteria. These devices use high frequency sound waves and water to efficiently remove bacteria. We use the CAVITRON Prophy-Jet by DENTSPLY. Next, a detailed hand scaling will remove bacteria that is tightly bound or in difficult-to-reach areas. Our s use precise hand scalers and curettes by Hu-Friedy. Finally, your teeth will be polished and you can opt for a fluoride application.
Cost overview
The cost of a cleaning depends on how much bacteria is present and how long it takes to remove. A single visit is required for those who brush and floss everyday, and who have had a cleaning in the previous 12 months. Multiple visits may be required for those who either do not brush and floss their teeth everyday or who have not had a cleaning for several years. Lifestyle factors such as diet and tobacco use may also create the need for additional cleaning appointments.

Today, commissioner and former acting chair of the FCC Mignon Clyburn addressed the issue of net neutrality at the FOCUS100 conference in New York. Clyburn said that "we are for a free and open Internet."
This would put the FCC's stance on the issue in line with the vast majority of comments on the topic. However, commissioners are sharply divided on the issue along party lines, with conservatives arguing that net neutrality amounts to a "federal takeover" of the Internet.
Clyburn said that a resolution will come "sometime soon:" "We will come up with a decision that I think will take in all of the input, but more importantly take in mind the characteristics of what a successful platform would be," she said, hoping to break out of the Title II reclassification discussion.
Instead of asking whether or not broadband should be reclassified, "I want the discussion to be about what is it that we want, what it is that we're missing," said Clyburn.
Indeed, there are many myths about Title II, and how it would affect the Internet – re-framing the discussion would be useful.

Rocky Mountain Gift Show doubles new buyers attendance!
Over 3,200 buyers attended the February Rocky Mountain Gift Show and Denver Apparel & Accessory Market. 137 new-to-the-show buyers decided to shop for rustic, western, resort and souvenir merchandise, that is twice as many NEW buyers than last February! Speaking of new, the show introduced over 85 NEW temporary exhibitors adding to the many reasons the Rocky Mountain Gift Show and Denver Apparel & Accessory Market is the Rocky Mountain region's most attended trade show for wholesale buying opportunities in the resort, souvenir, gift, jewelry, home and related industries.
Friday at the Rocky Mountain Gift Show was full of energy with over 500 buyers receiving free lunch tickets, participating gift showrooms were open late for Late Night Friday Night shopping; and new to the show, Wilcor Outdoor entertained buyers with hot cocoa, music and giveaways at the Buyers Bonfire!
Saturday was equally exciting with 60+ new looks from 18 different exhibitors, featured on the runway during the Fashion Show. Over 500 guests enjoyed a complimentary dinner at the Saturday Night Event. Margaritaville contributions from the $1 margaritas totaled over $500 dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Each day of the show, two lucky buyers took home high-end swag bags with products from Primitives by Kathy, Naked Bee and Sunday Afternoons hats.
Seminars were appreciated by attendees with best selling author, Greg Jameson's topic, Energize Your Website With Digital Ads. Publisher of Retail Minded and author, Nicole Leinbach Reyhle, educated and enlightened the crowed with 10 Best Practices for Retail Success.

Linwood Peel's Tribute to The Drifters
About Us
Listed in American Entertainment Magazine's, "Great Shows Under $15K."
The soulful, sensitive sounds of Linwood Peel, whether as an MC or musical, are inspired by legends. Memories of Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Otis Redding, Teddy Pendergrass, and Bobby Bluebland echo in the stylish phrasing of this incredible performer.
Born the son of a North Carolina sharecropper, his early voice was shaped in the church his father pastored. His deep gospel roots gave birth to a strikingly unique and powerful entertainer.
Linwood's vocals are an attempt to take his human soul and project it into space. It is the ultimate gesture of getting out of himself. He takes a part of what is most private, most personal, most inward, and hurls it out into space-he projects it as far as he can. This style and gesture of opening his whole inner self results in an enormous spiritual release, and is felt by everyone with tremendous impact.
With extraordinary physical energy, Linwood moves, gets down, and gets funky with ease and sophistication. With wide vocal range and musical versatility, Linwood Peel breathes new life into old music, transporting observers to tears and to their feet in applause.
With heartfelt generosity and compassion, Linwood frequently performs at facilities for the aged-in nursing homes, Veteran's hospitals and for the elderly in custodial care.
The Drifters are truly unique in today's world of coming and going popular music groups. From their very first release on Atlantic records, "There goes My Baby", they were bound for stardom with a 2 million seller under their belts in their first try. Over the next 10 years there were 29 additional chart records (source: Billboard) accounting for nearly 20 million sales of singles and over 8 million albums in the US alone. In fact (source: The Book of Lists), only the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Bee Gees have sold more records over a more sustained period of time.
The Drifters have appeared in every major night club and concert hall in the United States from Las Vegas to 10 sold out appearances at New York's Madison Square Garden. They have literally toured the entire world including a one month tour to the Far East and were chosen to represent the United States for the great Bicentennial Tour of Russia.
Although not scheduled to perform, when asked by Producer Mark Sonder to step in, with less than 10 minutes to go, to perform the National Anthem in front of an indoor stadium full of people at the New England Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Sonder asked, "Can you be ready?" and Peel replied, "No problem, I was born to sing!"
Linwood Peel's Tribute to The Drifters Testimonial
"Looking forward to having them back with us in the future. A great group to work with! My clients absolutely loved the show!"

Ha!!!! i was writing a new blog post about small group instruction (i know, the excitement!!!!!) and I went to link to this post and realized i had never moved it over from my old blog on Weebly. Enjoy!!!!
Although our Constituional Convention simulation was successful, my kiddos lost interest about three quarters of the way through. Some days I really wish we had a block schedule because these simulations really benefit from not being split into multiple parts. I tend to lose the kiddos' interest after two periods.
I left school after the third day knowing that I had to plow through the 3/5 Compromise, choosing an executive, the Bill of Rights and Federalists and AntiFederalists. I really didn't think the kiddos were up for whole group instruction but I had some pretty good resources from History Alive that focused on HOT questions. I promised myself that I was going to get my daughter and drive home with the cell phone and radio off until I could come up with a game plan. How could I have my kiddos works through some reading comprehension and get to conference with them in small groups or individually to help them understand the material? I have had a real interest in gaming in the classroom and decided why didn't I treat the lesson like a video game. The midgets love to earn kudos and rewards! To cash in on this I created Level Up. The reading and questions were broken into seven sections so I created seven levels of this video game. I created a learning target for each section and changed it into a mastery questions, (i.e. I have mastered and understanding of the 3/5 Compromise.). For each mastery concept, I created a title, (i.e. Magnificient Negotiator, Population Analayst, etc.) and I created a nifty badge that I printed out on a color printer.
I set up the classroom in groups but in the center I had set up six desks with a teacher chair in the middle. I roped it off and labeled it with a sign that said, "Do Not Sit Here! Leveling Up Station". That sign got my gamers' attention. They were just buzzing at the possibility of what this lesson might entail.
Students would work in small groups or individually to answer the questions for each section. After they had finished the questions for one or two sections( I did my best to stagger them so I wasn't inundated) the kiddos would come up to the Leveling Station. Here I was able to accomplish the middle school teacher's dream of working with children in very small groups. If students had difficulty with the section I was able to give them redirection and send them back for corrections. If they got the answers correct they got their badge and were able to Level Up. Each badge was pasted onto a sheet and the completion of that sheet was confirmation of their grade which was 70/70.
In the end I got everything I wanted. I didn't have to do any whole group instruction and kids worked at their own pace. If a kid came up to me twice with wrong answers I was able to do some one on one guided reading with those individuals and sometimes was able to simply explain the concept to them but in a much more casual and useful conversation than a whole group lecture. I had a two really interesting byproducts that I hadn't planned for. As the students moved through the leveling, students that were taking longer and were struggling, felt comfortable asking if they could just stay at the Leveling Up Station and get more intense help from me. Because I was working with children in a staggered fashion, this was totally able to happen. I had other students whose groups were not good influences for them (cheating, too much talking, etc.) and they also felt comfortable asking if they could work at the station. I never could have predicted the station would be an oasis.
I will probably do this activity about once a unit. The kiddos have begged to do it again but I know that they will get sick of it if it is the norm. My proudest badge that I wear was earned because even though 95% of the kiddos really loved it, I saw excitement and pride from that group of boys that a haven't yet decided to be achievers and usually get lost in the larger group. After their friends left the classroom a couple hung back to let me know how much they liked learning this way. One of my quiet tough nuts came a little closer to me and quietly said, "I wish we could do this all the time."
I also know it was a good idea because my husband, the math teacher used it in his class the very next day and another math teacher implemented it in his classroom before I even finished my lesson. Sometimes you come up with the winner!

Virginia News Stand: September 16, 2009Sep 16, 2009
Annotations & Elucidations An All-Star Cast
The last shall be first, right? So, today, I bring up our Commentary section first, because we have an all-star cast, with terrific insight on major issues and events in the news right now that may very well affect everything about the future of the country. The terrific Michelle Malkin looks into the ACORN abomination, where employees at offices all around the country have advocated the breaking several major laws while recorded on tape. The always on target Brent Bozell looks at the two-million person march last weekend, the largest tea party in world history. The insightful and patriotic Bobby Eberle commemorates 9/11, while the great, and I do mean great, Walter E. Williams, says it all in one word: education. Each one is worth the read as well as RedState.com's analysis on how a pro-life Democrat will kill socialized medicine if it does not explicitly prohibit abortion coverage.
In the gubernatorial campaign, it looks like — again, of people — the Washington Post is covering issues again. Finally. A makeup call? All else is the horse race: money and polls.

Configuring Security¶
The SSHD server needs to be integrated and the security layer has to be customized to suit your needs. This layer is pluggable and use the following interfaces:
- PasswordAuthenticator for password based authentication
- PublickeyAuthenticator for key based authentication
Those custom classes can be configured on the SSHD server using the following code:
SshServer sshd = SshServer.setUpDefaultServer(); sshd.setPasswordAuthenticator(new MyPasswordAuthenticator()); sshd.setPublickeyAuthenticator(new MyPublickeyAuthenticator());
If only one of those class is implemented, only the related authentication mechanism will be enabled.
JAAS integration¶
SSHD provides a password based authentication that delegates to JAAS. This can be configured in the following way:
SshServer sshd = SshServer.setUpDefaultServer(); JaasPasswordAuthenticator pswdAuth = new JaasPasswordAuthenticator(); pswdAuth.setDomain("myJaasDomain"); sshd.setPasswordAuthenticator(pswdAuth);
The domain name must be set to the JAAS domain that will be used for authentication.

Shelling boiled eggs without tearing the flesh
Getting perfectly shelled eggs, i.e. no pock marks where the flesh has pulled away with the shell, is easier if you plunge freshly boiled eggs directly into ice cold water after cooking. This causes the air pocket at the bottom to shrink pulling away the membrane of the egg from its shell. When completely cool, crack the bottom (the wide end) with a spoon and peel from there. Doing this under running cold water also helps to keep the egg clear of stubborn shell pieces trying to cling on after you've peeled them. This is a particularly useful tip with quail eggs, which can be even more tricky than chicken eggs.

Physician advocacy extends beyond the provision of good clinical care and advocacy on behalf of individual patients to include collaborations with people and organizations that combat interpersonal, structural, and systematic inequities and abuses in our society. Advocacy is the bridge that links patient care with efforts to address social determinants of health, institutionalized prejudices, and structural dislocations that patients and communities face. Physicians are especially qualified to advocate upon behalf of social change. The prestige and credibility that they command may serve as valuable resources in advocacy efforts.
The IMAP Physician Advocacy Program seeks to make advocacy a core professional value for physicians by developing a cadre of advocates with expertise in achieving policy change at the local, state, and national level. It achieves this through three core programs:
- the IMAP Physician Advocacy Fellowship
- the IMAP Education and Training Initiative
- the Physician Advocacy Merit Award

Oliphant Brewing set to open doors
Craft beer lovers will rejoice at the news that Oliphant Brewing will open its doors in Somerset at 4 p.m., on Thursday, Aug. 28.
The new brewery, located at 350 Main St. adjacent to the Liquor Depot, will occupy the southwest corner of the warehouse facing Depot Street.
The taproom will be open Thursdays and Fridays from 4-9 p.m., Saturdays noon-9 p.m. and Sundays noon-7 p.m.
Customers can look forward to trying Milk Man-Man Baby (a hybrid dunkelweizen and milk stout), EnnuiPA (a pale ale), "Party on Wayne" (a blonde ale), Cmmdr. William T. Ryeker (a red, rye ale) and "Party on Garth!" (a black ale) as the brewery's inaugural offerings.
Brewers and owners Matt Wallace and Trevor Wirtanen chose the 1,200-square-foot location because everything they need is in place due to the building's former use as a 7-Up bottling plant.
They like Somerset and the surrounding area because they think it has potential for craft beverage tourism.
"With the established companies like Brady's Brewhouse and 45th Parallel, and the prospective ones like us, Flatcap Distillery and the second facility of Barley John's, Somerset and New Richmond could become a destination for those coming from either Eau Claire or Madison or the Twin Cities seeking a great craft beverage experience," Wirtanen said in May after the brewery's conditional use permit was approved by the Somerset Village Board.
Wallace and Wirtanen have been planning to open a brewery for three years. Wallace has worked in the craft beer industry for almost seven years. He is a copy writer and taproom associate at Dangerous Man Brewing Company in Minneapolis, where he has done cellar work. He has also homebrewed for four years, professionally for one-and-a-half.
Wirtanen has worked as a production technician at Lift Bridge Brewing Company in Stillwater and as a brewer at Dave's BrewFarm in Wilson. His schooling is in music, but he became obsessed with homebrewing after craft beers piqued his interest.
"At least six beers are capable of being on tap and each day there might be something new from our small batch system," Wallace said. "So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, each might have a different, new beer."
Wallace was unsure if the patio area would be up and running in time for the opening.
"We've got jobs stacked up for days just to get the inside ready in time," Wallace said in an email.
The brewers have also headed up a fundraising campaign on their website to help with equipment and taproom purchases, bills from the building remodel, and in their words, "to give us a little piece of mind before the doors open and everyone can come and have a good time."
A few "sponsorships" include:
- $100 - a T-shirt and one free beer a week
- $200 - a T-shirt and one free beer a week and one free growler a month
- $300 - a T-shirt and one free beer a week and two free growlers a month
- $400 - a T-shirt and two free beers a week and one free growler a month
- $500 - a T-shirt and two free beers a week and two free growlers a month
- $600 - a T-shirt and one free beer per day and two free growlers a month
The rewards last for one year from the opening date, according to the website. For more information on donating and becoming a rewards member, on the brews or the opening, contact Wirtanen and Wallace at email@example.com, visit oliphantbrewing.com or facebook.com/oliphantbrewing.

Unique Flowers Idea For This Valentines Day
When we talk about defining the characteristics of romance then it can be termed as a surprise, creativity and probably understand about one's likes and dislikes. So, depending on these factors, it is advisable that you do not present the same old things on this Valentine's Day to your loved ones. To help you with these issues, following are some Valentines Day Flowers ideas that can help you to surprise and make your loved ones feel special. There are many beautiful flower arrangements and choices to select from when it comes to gifting your partner. Always remember that the first impression of gifting the flowers will be a lasting one too. So, make your choices very wisely and select the flowers accordingly. Find out below some suggestions that you might like to consider: Unique flower ideas for this Valentines Day!
Celebrate the day with a bouquet of roses on the early hour
The first suggestion that you might like to go in for is the long stem red roses that look divine and elegant when gifted to someone. These types of roses are more than enough to express your love on this special day. It is rather the most special way to show your care, love, and gratitude. This option here is considered to be in high demand and in case you really wish to gift this then try and order early as you might not get it later. The other suggestion of presenting red roses is by arranging them beautifully with lush green foliage that will definitely compliment well with the other floral items. These deep tones followed by the texture of the bouquet is enough to present them as a Valentines Day Gift to your dear partner.
Whenever you plan to pick some flowers, make sure that you need to think that it is for your beloved. It is not necessary that everyone loves red roses since there are some who do not like them too. Ask yourself, what does your partner really love it? Another question you need to think about is their favorite flower or color. You can also try gifting flowers that were used for your wedding day as it might surprise your partner and make them feel rather more special. In case your loved one has a great personality then you can present them with a colorful bouquet of flowers to make them feel happy and gorgeous. With the times changing, people are now following a huge trend in gifting flowers that include pink, orange and other colorful flowers. These colors can be gifted in case you are just in a new relationship and still get to know each other in detail. You can also gift something that has a garden posy design since it looks less formal when gifted.
In case you have no idea how to send flowers, then the best advice is to either check it for yourself at a local florist or just simply go online to check for them. Have a great valentines day this year!

Atelier Versace Couture Spring/Summer 2014 Collection
We do remember Lady Gaga presenting the newest Versace spring 2014 campaign, and the story goes on now, as we see the popular "I am so fab, check out, I'm blonde, I'm skinny, I'm rich and a bit of a bitch' words open the flabbergasting Atelier Versace Couture spring/summer 2014 collection, overwhelmed with luxury, chic, and glamour. If it's Versace, it can't be simple. If it's not simple, then it's most probably sophisticated by Versace! This is the main idea of the new high-end line of the designer, which is best explained by Donatella, herself, "A contemporary goddess: power, determination, strength, and glamour 'Äö√Ñ√∂'àö√ë'àö√Ü that's what I was thinking about. And how this woman can show her soft side, being a Versace, because Versace is always very spectacular.'
From her part, Lady Gaga shared her impressions sitting in the front row during the couture show, saying, "A combination of performance, art and theater, and her work with Philip Treacy of course was something I always truly admired. To see these hoods as well as these silhouettes and the show is sort of a full-circle moment for me.'
Thus passing to the scrutiny of the amazing Atelier Versace Couture spring/summer 2014 collection, what we should note first are the hoodies Lady Gaga spoke about. They prove to be an efficient way of creating a style contrast, interpreting such a sporty detail in an extremely chic and cute way. Matching the effect with some glitter, the looks were even more extravagant than it was probably expected.
The wonderful and creative cuts, folds, and drapings are the next descriptive aspect of this collection. Next comes the catchy color palette, which was picked to be made up of some luxurious tones, which mainly came in a solo with one shade-one piece principle. The variety of the shapes includes body-flattering dresses, as well as suit plus pants pairs. The chic fur details, transparencies seen here and there, and the super sophisticated and high-quality fabrics used underline the stunning effect of the following apparels.
Thus whatever we expected after the campaign images came to amaze us with an even greater magnitude than we thought it would. Well, we are just happy about it, looking forward to the following suggestions by Versace.

By Alok Bhatt
Impunity Watch Reporter, Asia
HYDERABAD, India – The southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has been facing extensive violence and disorder in its streets, as continual rioting has plagued its streets since Saturday. The riots allegedly began as a result of an agitated skirmish over decorations for the celebration of the Hindu deity Hanuman's birthday. Hindus and Muslims both committed violent acts towards one another as the Hyderabad streets dissolved into chaos. Communal tensions between the two religious groups are not new to the state of Andhra Pradesh, which has an approximately 60:40 Hindu-to-Muslim population ratio.
It seems that greater friction between Hindus and Muslims has manifested since the Indian government began discussing splitting the Andhra Pradesh state. However, the riots that began on Saturday represented an instance in which the streets of Hyderabad were consumed in violent action. There have been myriad reports of people setting buildings aflame, damaging vehicles on the street and turning the Andhra Pradesh streets essentially to a war zone. Also, about five mosques and one Hindu temple were damaged in the streets
Approximately one-hundred people have been arrested in connection to the rioting thus far. While there has only been one reported death, a man who was stabbed to death in the riots, scores more have been injured to varying degrees. The continual activity and disturbance on the Hyderabad streets would have made it difficult to deliver assistance to those who have sustained injuries.
The police have allegedly been looking into possible catalysts for the extensive violence. However, cooperation from Indian nationals has been difficult to attain. In order to crack down on the raging communities in the Muslim-majority Old Hyderabad, where the riots spiraled out of control, the police stations in various parts of the city have been subject to a curfew. Fluctuations in the terms of the curfew have occurred over the week, including relaxations to allow women and older women to wander.
Both Hindu and Muslim groups claim that the government has done a poor job in quelling the riots, declaring that there was actually a Congressional interest in allowing the riots to continue. These allegations, however, have yet to be confirmed or substantiated.

As per recent Forbes report, 71% of 16-24-year-olds want wearable technology. Predictions for 2020 include a market value of $40 billion; a shipment of 400 million wearables. As per many reports last year alone, health monitoring and diagnostic wearables nabbed the majority share (78%) of the global wearable medical device market followed by the sports and fitness smart wearables.
In India, growing educated middle class are ready to drive much of the demand for smart wearable devices by being more health conscious and there is a growing adaptation among elderly educated personnel as well currently in maintaining independence of their own health monitoring.
In line with growing smartphone sales and internet penetration, recent studies have shown an increase in adoption of both free and paid health & fitness apps and devices in emerging countries like India.
The leading wearable medical device companies currently are Omron Healthcare, Basis Science, Sotera Wireless, Polar Electro, Zephyr Technology, Philips Healthcare, ResMed and Fitbit. And big electronic giants like Apple, Samsung, LG, Xiaomi, Micromax are yet to strike the chord in this health market vertical.
Many new startup companies are exploring various ways to embed various health IT features into wearable devices, so that patients may soon provide comprehensive information to doctors through devices such as sensor wrist bands, neck bands, smart watches that can measure and transmit biometric data.
Key drivers of Sales growth
Unlike in the past, the newer generation of these device manufacturers are paying special attention on data accuracy and the metrics they measured complying with multiple global health standard certifications, which is primarily contributing to the recent sales growth by patients and health care providers.
Health and fitness euphoria among young generations also playing a big contribution for over-tracking their health as we got a chance for that for the first time in history. Eventually, by the time the technology behind them gets better, we should get to the stage of meaningful use as well.
Mass production of these wearables is kicking off in meeting strong demand especially from new sales territories in emerging countries, this market is expected to continue growing, devices will get intuitive, thinner and lighter, get cheaper and more comfortable.
What I can measure with current smart medical wearables Daily activities (steps, calories, distance)
Pulse ECG
Sleep quality
Brain activities
Blood pressure
Blood oxygen levels
Blood glucose levels
Cardiac fitness
Body temperature
Baby and fetal monitors
Blood alcohol content
Pulmonary readings
Next generation smart medical wearables currently in pipeline:
Contact Lens: Google has been granted a patent recently for a contact lens with an embedded chip, which may allow people with diabetes to easily measure glucose levels.
Smart Clothing: The fashion industry grabbing this opportunity and getting health tracking close to their customers. Examples include Hexoskin and MC10. Both companies are working on different clothes and sensors that can be included in clothes.
Smart Implants: Devices implanted into our body or just under the skin. There are people already having such RFID implants with which they can open up a car, a smartphone or even the garage door.
Medical procedures centric wearables: Tiny devices embedded with sensors that can be swallowed could track digestion and the absorption of drugs supporting GI procedures like Colonoscopy etc. Skin monitoring oriented: sensor embedded mattress, pillows, braces etc supporting long term bedridden patients suffering from stroke and injuries.
Unlike in the West, corporate health care systems and hospitals in India are keen on wearable devices, since the high volume of data generated by such devices may lead to new ways of identifying disease symptoms, measuring wellness and discovering nonconventional vital signs. Additionally, individual doctors are also gearing up to brace the gadgets and recommending to patients for efficient comprehensive self-monitoring especially in remote and home health care settings. Emerging educated middle class who are constantly bracing new technologies are also opting for smart medical wearables usage for effective preventive care.

HORAS!! ( what locals say when greeting in Medan)
My family and I went to Medan last week. It was four day trip and it's the first time we went there. We took morning flight and arrived at Kualanamu Airport around 8.30 a.m.
We had lunch and rest for a while. Then we continued our journey to Prapat and it took about 4 hours to go there. It is two-way path and has sharp turns in this mountain area . From the top, we could see beautiful scenery of Lake Toba. Lake Toba is a very famous lake in Indonesia that was formed by the eruption of Mount Sinabung. This is a folktale about this lake, It's about a farmer fell in love with golden fish that transformed into beautiful woman. He made a promise not to tell their son about this woman's secret but he failed to keep that promised. This golden fish woman became angry and lots of water came out from the paddy fields and became Lake Toba. Until I was told about the history of Lake Toba, I still believed on that folktale and I felt a little bit stupid to believe that. I have a good imagination till now, so when people say it impossible, I will say " Sure it can, why not?"
So, let me tell you about how this lake was formed. It was about 75.000 years ago, when the Toba supervolcano was surrounded by land. Toba volcano erupted violently and made land around volcano catapulted. The height of the eruption reached 50 km and make the temperature decreased 3 up to 5 degree celcius. Some sources said that the eruption damaged continents in the world. After the eruption, there was no weather, day and night was just same. The horrible fact is that this eruption killed more than half of the earth populations. It was a nightmare and I can't imagine lots of people died in this lake. By the way, I wonder how many population in this earth when it was 75.000 years ago? Do you have any idea ?
Beside the horrible fact about this lake, there is the unique fact. The eruption formed a large lake but there is an island remained in the middle of this lake, Samosir Island. The Samosir Island survived in the middle of the land that catapulted and formed a lake. The fact is that water in this lake is collected from 75.000 years ago. Wow can you imagine that?!
I must say that this lake was absolutely beautiful. Especially when you look from the top, wow it was breathtaking and you must see it yourself. Locals said that many foreign tourists decided to live here after they saw how beautiful it is. And they said that President Jokowi (President of Indonesia) said that this was the largest and the most beautiful lake in Indonesia. I fell in love at the first sight with this lake. Local government cultivated various fishes in the other side of the lake.
If you don't have any plan for your next holiday, visiting Lake Toba can be a choice. You won't be disappointed. If you want to look for the best scenery, you can go to Piso Piso Hill you can see Lake Toba and waterfall on the other side from the top. You can also enjoy the view from close by taking boat to Samosir Island. Talking about Samosir Island, my next article will tell about the unique kings' tomb in Samosir Island, The heritage culture, Sigale-gale, etc. I'm going to write super fast and publish the article soon.

Buyer Testimonials
We're proud to play a part in creating lasting memories for so many families throughout Southern California. We continuously receive positive feedback from our homeowners, and we're honored that they choose to share their experience with us. Read below to discover why buyers fell in love with their Pacific Communities home.
As soon as I saw my house I felt at home and safe. This was my first home purchase on my own; terrified, would have been an understatement. However, each step of the process seemed to just effortlessly come together, however, I knew because I was working with true professionals, that was the key component in a truly successful, and pleasant home buying experience. Each person I have had contact with have just been fantastic; genuinely caring for me and extremely professional.
Sally G.
Owning a beautiful, fortified, and affordable home is the American dream; thanks to Pacific Communities that dream has come true! Our journey with Pacific Willow started initially with an online search for new construction homes within our preferred areas. Right away we were lured in by the pricing, size lots, floor plans, and imaging displayed on the website.
We were about 2 months in on our home quest and knew immediately that we had to check the site out. Promptly we made our first phone call and Debbie the sales agent informed us that but she could give us a walk through at the actual sites. The very next day we met her and when we stepped into the plan 4, though at the very early stages of construction, we fell in love instantaneously and knew right there and then that this home had to be ours, it seemed to have had our names written on it- its floor plan, pricing and location was unbeatable and outstood every other competition in its path. We chose our desired lot and started our relationship with Pacific Communities right away.
Debbie then introduced us to the Deninne Wier; the preferred lender representative from imortgage. Deninne took us through the mandatory qualifications process and in less than a day we were prequalified for the home. Though we had several financing options and lenders at the time, working with Deninne was the easiest, most comfortable, trustworthy, and informative lender who went above and beyond to meet our needs and found the most favorable middle ground for financing our home. Dennine answered every one of our million and sometimes repetitive questions without hesitation to ensure our clear understanding of the process. Not once did we feel like a bother, but rather though she had many other clients, Deninne gave us an experienced that she was not just invested in benefiting the company but she had our interest at heart and our business was of utmost importance.
As the construction process continue, our initial sales agent Debbie introduced us to Terry who took over as our new agent, the transfer was smooth and communication of our requests were well done. Terry then played a great role in suggesting and assisting with getting convenient upgrades within budget. Terry was friendly, very insightful, and never too busy to answer our questions or give us an extra tour , he was on point with meeting our concerns. For example, our desire was to have a sink pre-plumbed in the laundry room. Though the cut-off time had pass, Terry knew how important this was to us and went above and beyond to contact the builder, to get the approval, and to get the job done. He knew exactly what to do to make us comfortable and happy with the investment we were making to buy our new home.
Additionally to the great services rendered by the loan officer and the sales agent, though we have never personally met the builder, from our negotiations and multiple special requests that got approved, often times even giving us additional incentives to meet a middle ground in our negotiations, we felt confident the unseen person was one of character and one who was truly invested in making our experience personal and real.
A few months later our home was complete, escrow was about to be closed and we did the final walk through with the customer service representatives. He was very thorough, diligent, and had a keen eye for any final fixes. Chris the superintendent then worked speedily at any request without hesitation. In fact since we visited the site so many times, we had also developed a relationship with Chris. He was always there, and as the house went through the final stages of construction he welcomed any concerns we had and made attempts to get things to our liking even before the final walk through.
We developed such a relationship with these individuals that even after the purchase of our home, we still visit the office just to say hi to Don and Terry, We still message and see Deninne whom even though escrow has closed still makes the time to answer any concerns and Chris is still around willing to mend simple fixes- we are truly happy and grateful.
Unbelievably, we were first-time home buyers without even a realtor so we knew very little at the start of the process. But these professionals listed above walked us through every step, delivered client-centered professional service and in the end we could not have asked for more. Of course there are few hiccups but most importantly there are measures in place to fix these hiccups and we have seen it put into effect.
Today we are proud homeowners, we are 4 months into our new home and each time we enter our community, pull up on our porch, or step through the doors of our home it takes our breath away. The beauty of this magnificent 4163 sq ft of living space, three car garage, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathroom edifice which includes a media room, den, formal living and dining, kitchen, nook, great room, pantry, washroom and seated on 9500 sq ft of land is an unbelievable masterpiece- built from a mastermind of class- open space with a modern edge architecture that is just astonishing. As a young couple we know our older selves will thank us later for the great investment we have made. Indeed home is where the heart is and our heart is at home at Pacific Willow.
Thank you Pacific Communities for making our dream come true. We are proud and happy homeowners.

"WELCOME HOME" – A huge banner stretched from the porch support to the tiny sapling tree! We were finally going to move into our new house! We had watched it take shape from the time it was just a frame on a concrete foundation. The paperwork, qualifying, buying plus selecting our flooring and other beautiful finishes had all been so effortless. Everything just fell so smoothly into place.
The sales office folks became good friends. The construction people from the supervisor to the carpenters recognized us and enjoyed showing us the progress each time we visited. They seemed as delighted to be building it as we were to watch it being so professionally built. The suppliers were almost as delighted with our selections as we were. We met other buyers in the neighborhood and are looking forward to long friendships with them. By the time we were ready to move in, the house, the neighborhood and all the Pacific Communities Builder personnel were OURS.
Pacific Communities' Customer Service has kept us very happy with our home, making sure we're satisfied with the quality. We're watching eagerly as more houses are built and new neighbors arrive. Now that we've lived here a while, we, and our friends and family, all love everything about our home and neighborhood. We now greet our visitors with, "WELCOME HOME"!
Dave and Marilyn Brown
We chose Pacific Communities because Gigi and I were looking for a new home opportunity that offered good price and great value. We knew we wanted to live in a nice area where we could build a foundation and grow our family. This new home and neighborhood has been a tremendous blessing to our family. Due to the exceptional value of our home, we found our reason to stay in California, as Nevada was our second choice.
The Pacific Communities team was wonderful, from customer service to sales. The superintendent, subs, and sales were welcoming and put us at ease. We feel that the best days are ahead for us here at this community and are reminded when we wake up to see the mountains each morning.
The Cortez Family
My husband and I moved from Central California to be near our families. We were not in the market for a 55 plus gated community, but one day when we were in the area looking at homes I saw the Orchid sign and after talking my husband into just looking, we found that we actually really liked the homes, location, and the price values. After talking with Mary Ellen who we felt comfortable with right away and going over the details of what the community would offer to us and the cost and values of the homes we decided this was a great place to live.
We are so grateful we made the decision to purchase a home with Orchid. We just love it here and have met so many wonderful friends and also started a "meet and greet" once a month so the community can get to know one another which has been very successful and a lot of fun! One of the great parts of our home is when we look out of our kitchen window we can view beautiful Idyllwild as this is where my husband and I were married 27 years ago. I am also excited to share my sister and her husband have fallen in with Orchid too and will be moving here in May.
Michael and Cathleen Maggard
My husband and I have been searching for the "right home" and couldn't find it in any of the senior communities we had looked at. Ron mentioned he had seen signs along the freeway for the "Orchid assisted living community" in Menifee. We happened to be close by at an open house in another senior community and as we made our way home to Temecula, I saw the Orchid signs with one exception – no mention of assisted living. My husband had misread the signs. I immediately made him turn around and go back to Menifee to view the Pacific Communities Orchid models.
The minute we walked into the model office, we were hooked – we loved the Plan 1 layout, the amenities, the construction of the home, the price point, the feel of the neighborhood, the individual homes with the front yards and perfect back yard area for our patio and gardens.
Mary Ellen, Robert, and Felix were so informative and helpful – we have never encountered such an excellence in customer service. They were the true definition of a team, who is never too busy to answer any questions or offer assistance.
Ron and I moved into our new"right home" a few days ago and could not be happier.
Ron and Sandy Hillman
My family took residence in Moreno Valley (Rancho Belago) 11 years ago, when the market prices of homes were amazing. During a hike on the many trails here we spotted the homes designed by Pacific Communities and realized that this is where we wanted to be. Pacific Communities has designed the most beautiful exterior and interior homes that I have ever encountered in my life. Their homes are extremely spacious, great for entertaining and of course, "Bragging Rights."
In our community we have the best of both worlds. City views that are breathtaking as well as mountain views with unbelievable sightings of wildlife. Coming from the Los Angeles County area where the homes are small and extremely expensive, Pacific Communities' homes are a dream come true. I could not wait to have my family see what Pacific Communities has offered to my family. I was so excited to share my blessings with my friends and family. After all, I had all the room in the world to have them all here to celebrate with my spacious kitchen and extra large bonus room.
Buying from Pacific Communities was quite far the best decision I have ever made. Thank you for making our dream come true.
The Thomas Family
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pacific Communities Builder for our dream home! The introduction to this community came at a pivotal time in our life. As I was planning my retirement, my wife and I were conflicted about a possible move. However, upon touring the Pacific Communities homes and community in Menifee, we quickly made up our minds. We were immediately charmed by the homes and the neighborhood. The floor plans are generous and we fell in love with the quality and finishes. I was personally very impressed with the open concept that allows for an easy flow in all the homes.
In addition, the sales office for PCB is excellent. The office personnel were very patient with us, very knowledgeable, and experienced. They worked closely with us to make our move a reality. The home itself is well built and high quality, with a very simple and smart design that was immediately appealing to us. The quality of the home and the available options allowed us to personalize our home before we moved in. The value and price of the home made the purchase a very sound financial investment and decision. Purchasing this home from PCB was a great choice. I can't believe I finally have my first new home and was able to retire and enjoy it! Living the Dream!
Daniel and Georgia D'Alessandro
My wife and I have been extremely impressed with the staff and management at Pacific Communities. They have treated us as a valued customer with absolutely no problem too small to be addressed.
I am especially pleased with the effort they have put into making sure our home was completed inside and out in a manner that makes us proud as home owners.
I would highly recommend the Pacific Communities organization in the Antelope Valley to others who are interested in working with a professional and ethical organization that builds quality homes and stands behind their work.
Very seldom do you come across a company that understands the true value in new home construction and what is a fair and reasonable price for their properties.
Tom Tague
For Pacific Communities, building homes may be their business, but delivering exceptional customer satisfaction is truly their passion. Dante and LaToya Jamison's purchase of their second Pacific Communities home further attests the builder's enduring commitment to its new homebuyers – and existing homeowners.
"Our very first home purchase, back in 2002, was a Pacific Communities home," Dante Jamison stated proudly. "And like most first-time buyers, my wife LaToya and I were anxious about making our first big purchase." Luckily, Pacific Communities made the process a little easier for the young couple. "Our salesperson made us feel so comfortable and welcome," LaToya said. "We had a lot of questions, especially about financing, but she was exceptionally patient and understanding with us. As first-time homebuyers, we were so relieved and thankful to have such a positive experience."
The Jamisons' first home, a spacious floorplan from the builder's earlier "Pacific Collections" neighborhood in Palmdale, proved to be a very rewarding investment for the couple. "When we were shopping for our home, we distinctly remembered how Pacific Collections' roominess and added features stood apart from the competitors," Dante explained. "In fact, we had even been considering buying resale property, including older homes. But, we just kept going back to Pacific Collections." Added LaToya, "These homes offered so much more, and we found the combination of value and quality irresistible."
The Jamison family, now blessed with three children – Dante Jr., 7; Demani, 4; and Demarius, 3 – are enjoying life in their current Pacific Collections home. However, with the expansion of their family, the Jamisons soon became eager for more room to spread out and grow. "When we were ready to start searching for our second home, we already knew what we wanted: the same high standards we had already come to know and appreciate with our first Pacific Communities home," Dante explained. "As you can imagine, that made it really easy to decide who to turn to first for our next purchase."
Coincidentally, the Jamisons were the first to register on the interest list for Pacific Highland, the builder's newer community in Palmdale at the time. "When we first heard about Pacific Highland, we knew we had to act fast. It was going to be the neighborhood for us," LaToya insisted. Indeed, the Jamisons locked in early on the home of their dreams at Pacific Highland – a Plan 6, one of the largest plans available – complete with a super loft, media niche, exercise room and more. "We feel lucky to be among the first to get chosen for this community," added Dante.
Although Dante works in Los Angeles, quite a distance from Palmdale, he doesn't seem to mind his commute so much. "It's nice to know you have a beautiful place to go home to," he smiled. "That's what matters to me. And we really appreciate our neighborhood and overall location. We're close to new shopping and schools, which makes it convenient for our family. And we love going to Lake Elizabeth. There's a lot to do out here, and it's nice knowing everything's nearby."
"We know that we'll be happy at Pacific Highland for many, many more years to come."

Valerie Taylor fondly remembers the night when she and her husband Barry picked out their floor plan at Pacific Etiwanda. They were sitting in their car, parked right outside the sales office, the night before the community's initial phase release. The couple was determined to be one of the very first buyers at Pacific Etiwanda, a neighborhood by Pacific Communities.
"We spent the night in the parking lot so we could get the house we wanted," said Valerie, laughing at the recollection. "But going over the brochure and floor plans that night in the parking lot, we changed our minds. We chose a different house."
Valerie and Barry bought their Plan 2 home from Pacific Etiwanda's Vineyard Series in 2001. After looking at other communities, Valerie and Barry were drawn to Pacific Etiwanda because of the spacious floor plans, the value and the location.
Joining Valerie and Barry in the then brand-new community was Valerie's niece and her niece's fiancé. "They asked our advice on where we were buying," Valerie said. Her recommendation of Pacific Etiwanda led the engaged couple to join Valerie and Barry's parking lot campout. The next day, they bought their first home, where they still happily reside, from Pacific Etiwanda's Meadows Series.
Valerie and Barry knew they could count on Pacific Communities to build them a quality home. "I was familiar with them as a builder," said Valerie, who sold homes for Pacific Communities for about two years in the mid-1990s. "I knew we'd get a good home."
Valerie and Barry particularly enjoy the spaciousness and usefulness of their family room and kitchen area. The two rooms flow effortlessly into one another. "It is very, very open and has a huge island and access to the backyard through French doors," said Valerie, describing the space. The family room and kitchen area are perfect for entertaining. "We are always having a lot of people over," Valerie added.
In every neighborhood they build, Pacific Communities offers buyers a host of popular options to ensure that each home is perfectly suited to the owners. "We didn't have to go someplace else for the options," said Valerie, explaining yet another reason why she and Barry bought a Pacific Communities home. She describes their experience with the builder's home customizing and buying process as "very seamless."
Valerie and Barry enjoy a little more than 2,800 square feet of living space in their Pacific Communities home, which has three bedrooms and three baths. The couple chose a home with a three-car garage. The downstairs den, which could have become an optional bedroom, serves as an office. Valerie and Barry both work from home. In addition, the couple chose to convert an upstairs bedroom into an inviting master suite retreat.
Since Valerie and Barry bought their Pacific Etiwanda home, their son Christopher, now 20, and daughter Michelle, now 23, have both moved out. "As empty nesters, we are deciding what to do with all the space," Valerie said. The couple envisions an upstairs game room in Christopher's former space, a huge room that they optioned to convert from a bonus room into a single bedroom.
Amongst the numerous modern amenities that Pacific Communities offers in every home, Valerie mentions the fireplace in the family room as a favorite. She says the couple's dog, Seneca, is "a permanent fixture" in front of the fireplace in winter. "She just sits and stares into the fireplace even if there's no fire going," said Valerie with a laugh.
After years in their Pacific Communities home, Valerie and Barry are still content with their house and community. Valerie notes that Rancho Cucamonga is now a bigger metropolis but that the growth hasn't detracted from the city's appeal. "We've met some good people," Valerie said. "We've made lifelong friends."

When Scott and Stephanie Huffman began to consider the purchase of a new home at Pacific Manor in Lancaster, they were already quite experienced as homebuyers, having previously owned four homes, three new and one used. They also had the benefit of living in homes by several well-known builders. In short, they knew what they were looking for and what to expect.
"We are very pleased with the open plan and its flex space," commented Scott, who is a high school resource specialist. "We are also pleased to have a large, pool-size lot. It gives us our privacy, but we still feel like we are part of the neighborhood."
"My favorite aspect of the house is the kitchen," said Stephanie Huffman, a speech therapist. "I love the central island. It ties the kitchen into the breakfast area and family room very nicely. Also, the pantry is a huge walk-in and the double oven is a convenient bonus for meals and entertaining."
"Energy efficiency was another factor that was important to us," said Scott. "Pacific Communities has designed this home with efficient, high quality systems for heating, A/C, electrical and water usage."
"We were also pleased with the high quality of many standard features," added Scott. "The laundry room, for example, came with a laundry tub and overhead cabinets, there is designer recessed lighting in certain areas and the architecture is well detailed."
The Huffmans are also enjoying their neighborhood, "when we had our new baby, wonderful people came over with gifts to congratulate us," concluded Scott. "We were very touched by their caring. I can see that this is a neighborhood where families look out for one another."
Pacific Manor was one of the most successful and popular new home neighborhoods in the Quartz Hill area of Lancaster, priced from the high $300,000s and featured 2,359 to 4,795 square feet of spaciousness, flexibility, and adaptability to meet the needs of growing families and evolving lifestyles.

As a member of the military family, Staff Sergeant Marcos Diaz passionately works to guarantee Americans a secure country to live in. And as a member of the Diaz family, he now proudly provides a comfortable, happy place for them to call home at Pacific Discovery.
When the Diaz family began their search for a new home in the Palmdale area, they had a myriad of options to choose from. With countless new home communities continually on the rise throughout the Antelope Valley, Sergeant Diaz and his family honed in on high quality construction and comfortable, spacious floorplans as their top priorities. It was no surprise when the Diaz family selected Pacific Communities as their builder of choice – for the second time.
As one of Pacific Discovery's satisfied homeowners, the Diaz family had built a strong bond with the builder through their previous Pacific Communities home.
"I knew I could count on Pacific Communities again for a quality home at an outstanding price," explained Sergeant Diaz. "At Pacific Discovery, my wife Bertha and I were immediately impressed by the size and construction of the homes – and the people were so caring. We had a lot of questions, and our salesperson was extremely patient and helpful throughout the entire process. Our experience with Pacific Communities was once again outstanding."
The Diaz family has since settled in and loves their new life at Pacific Discovery. "We're so comfortable and happy here," said Sergeant Diaz. "Our daughter Yahaira loves her new bedroom, especially her spacious closet. Marcos, our little one, seems happy in every room of our home. He's only 8 months old."
Pacific Discovery, one of Palmdale's most popular communities, offers top quality at an exceptional value, with homes starting from the $300s. Adding more value to Pacific Discovery are its well-designed floorplans, offering maximum space for families of all sizes.
"We visited many new communities, and most of the homes felt very small and closed-in," continued Diaz. "Pacific Communities did an excellent job in creating wide-open floorplans at Pacific Discovery. Every room in our home is exceptionally spacious and comfortable. You can tell that the floorplan layout was very thoughtfully arranged and designed."

Previously , I have talked about the Hoverbike , a bike that flies in the air and today I am going to talk about the Ultra-Ever Dry .
if you want some thing that can protect your stuff from getting wet or dirty ? , get this thing , it's called Ultra-Ever Dry , it's actually just a coating that can be applied to almost any material , the ones stated on their web site as ideal choices are steel, aluminum, other metals, plastic, leather, fabric, wood, concrete, etc.
Ultra-Ever Dry is a super hydrophobic (water) and oleo-phobic (hydrocarbons) coating that will completely repel almost any liquid. Ultra-Ever Dry uses proprietary nanotechnology to coat an object and create a barrier of air on its surface. This barrier repels water, refined oil, wet concrete, and other liquids unlike any other coating. Ultra-Ever Dry has vastly improved adhesion and abrasion resistance, compared to previous technologies, allowing it to be used in applications where greater durability is required.
Once it has been applied it can work in the temperature range of -34°C to 149°C , it should last for a few years once coated , although Abrasion can cause a serious reduction in the coating's life. Hit the YouTube video below to be amazed .
Thanks to +Laston Kirkland and his post for referring me to this amazing product.
if you want to read up more on this topic you can always ask Me in the Comments or Google :)
that's it for now , Tweets by @PrashantM911 , like us on facebook , comment and share !

You can follow along as I read with these excerpt snapshots from the novel:
After you have listened to the reading and/or read the snapshot excerpts, think about the following questions:
- Do you approve of teenaged marriages, like those of Jean Laffite with his first wife Christina Levine or of Theodosia Burr with her husband Joseph Alston? Why or why not?
- Who was right about the proper age for men to marry -- Aristotle or Benjamin Franklin?
- What sort of love do you think Theodosia and Jean had in this section of the book? Attachment and Bonding or Limerent? Or was it some other sort?

In the 30s, serious intellectuals traveled to the Soviet Union to hail it as the future of humanity. In the 60s and 70s, writers, actors & other assorted glitterati went to Cuba to be schmoozed by El Jefe. And now North Korea has hauled in...a retired basketball player with a penchant for shock publicity. The quality of useful idiots is on a definite downward trajectory.
Well, at least he didn't go there to label the conditions of the ordinary people trapped in that hellhole of a country as being the wave of the future. Unlike the intellectuals of the 30s oohing & ahhing over their Potemkin tours of the Soviet Union, or the celebrity radicals of the 60s & 70s, Rodman apparently doesn't claim any higher political acumen. "I'm not a politician. Kim Jung Un & North Korean people are basketball fans. I love everyone. Period. End of story," he tweeted. But he's still appallingly wrong for saying things like this in public: "About the relationship, no one man can do anything. His country and his people love him. I love him, he is an awesome guy."
For any un- or mis-informed readers, here's what the problem is. North Korea is the grimmest, most murderous, most total of all remaining totalitarian states in the world. Yes, our client South Korea was a police state until the late 1980s. But the communist North usurped their people's very souls, stripping away all intermediary institutions--church, family, non-government organizations--leaving the people naked before the whims of the state. See for yourself:
It is shameful for anyone who enjoys the very best of the free, prosperous West, as Rodman does, to give legitimacy to that horror show.

A group of urban exploration enthusiasts have covertly climbed to the top of Renzo Piano's £450 million shard skyscraper in London
Images posted to the Place Hacking blog, show a group of explorers posing for photographers at the partially completed tower's summit and climbing on a construction crane.
The team – known as the London Consolidation Crew – accessed the construction site from a temporary walkway close to London Bridge train station.
The episode took place in the early hours in February last year.
PHD student Bradley Garrett uploaded the images. Writing on the blog, he said: 'As of December 2011, the Shard claimed the title of "tallest building in the European Union", stretching 310 meters into the clouds from London Bridge. It has also been said that is it the most secure site in the city outside of the 2012 Olympic Park.
'I have never measured the building so I can't testify to the validity of the first claim but I'm happy to respond to the second, as usual.'
Describing how he accessed the 72-storey building, he said: 'We waited for the guard to finish his current round and go into his hut.
'It took a few minutes of lingering before the walkway was clear of people - we grabbed onto the scaffolding pipes and swung off the bridge.
'Hanging on the freezing pipes, we pulled ourselves on top of the walkway and laid down out of view, waiting for a reaction in case anyone had seen or heard us. It didn't seem so.
'Staying low, we then descended the other side of the scaffolding, right behind the security hut where we could see the guard watching TV, not the cameras.
'Quickly, we scampered across the yard and found the central stair case, again pausing to see if there was any reaction from the yard, phones ringing or doors opening. It was silent.'
On reaching the summit, he added: 'We were so high, I couldn't see anything moving at street level. No buses, no cars, just rows of lights and train lines that looked like converging river systems, a giant urban circuit board.'
Doubts have been raised over the authenticity of the extraordinary images. Photographer Paul Clarke questioned the 'miraculous long exposures' used by the explorers, with the figures in the photographs remaining still 'despite the wind and cramped muscles'.
Writing on his blog, Clarke said: 'Try taking a 15 second exposure of a friend holding their head still (even assuming you do fix the camera steady and they're not clinging to a ladder high in the sky in a howling wind with their muscles cramping).'
The building's final steel frame section was fitted into place last week.
