What do you wish for? A big house? Car? Success in your career? Maybe a healthy family? A happy marriage? A husband that is faithful? Sounds good right? It is most likely that you know about the darker side of wishes, as in "Be careful what you wish for?" Yes there is much wisdom in that phrase. Because wishes can come true and yet the result might NOT be all roses and sunshine. What have I wished for recently?
Lately one of my biggest wishes is to know the truth regarding my husbands affair/s. To get answers to questions I've had for over a year. Answers to new questions that have developed due to the trickle down (or I call trickle out because NO INFORMATION comes from his lips) evidence that continues to pop-up. It continues to try to drive me crazy. It would be easy to succumb to the pain and trauma that not having the answers causes me. I had to do something. be I wished for those answers.
Being unable to uncover the truth myself, I know I need help. I Can't do this alone anymore. I won't keep this secret any longer. So I did two things. I decided that I was going to hire a private investigator and I needed to tell my Mom and Step-Dad because I needed their help, both emotionally and financially.
I was extremely nervous- how do you walk in and share something as big as infidelity when you've been pretending nothing was wrong all this time? I should of realized that their love and support was a given. But the years of crazy making, married to a Narcissist makes you second guess everything in your life. Just having a plan was helping me feel better. I felt I wouldn't have to be in this limbo land forever. I would finally get some truth, some answers. I would no longer be treated like a mushroom, you know kept in the dark and fed nothing but bullshit. Maybe my luck was changing. I felt so much better with a plan of action.
As I was setting up the appointment with the PI, and compiling the evidence that I did have, I began to think about how I felt about hiring the PI? A part of me is feeling elated, (after months & months of feeling so lost, alone and confused I feel like i'd never know the truth). It felt good to take some of my power back. I would not be the doormat to his bakery any longer. But then I started to feel kinda funny, almost sick to my stomach as I wrapped my mind around what would be happening. I was going to get the answers i needed but I also was going to have to hear the truth. It was probably going to be things that I DID NOT WANT TO HEAR. My suspicions would most likely be confirmed and I would then have to ACCEPT THE TRUTH. That my husband was the one of the worst cheaters around. A narcissistic, personality disordered, sex addict, charming & successful BASTARD. OMG! Am I really ready to know the truth? Am I as strong as I like to believe/pretend that I am? Can I handle it? Will it make me feel better or worse? Not sure! Oh no I'm going to have to hear the truth. I'm starting to feel sick again, like I said before:
Be careful what you wish for? Your wish just might come true

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Under the rule of the ancient Aztecs, Mexico City was a maze of canals and floating gardens that grew corn and beans to feed the masses.
Hundreds of years later, the government of this concrete metropolis of 20 million people is promoting urban vegetable gardens as a way to ease the burden of soaring food prices faced by poor families.
Mayor Marcelo Ebrard – who is behind a string of crowd-pleasers like cycle lanes, artificial beaches, and an outdoor ice rink – has sent groups of gardening experts out to build community gardens.
Over 20 urban vegetable patches have been planted since last year, some in areas formerly used to dump trash, and the city government wants to build at least 20 more.
"We see this as a pilot project that could explode across the city," said program director Pedro Ponce, an agronomist.
A surge in world food prices, as fuel and fertilizer costs soar and demand balloons for staple grains from fast-growing developing nations, has pushed up vegetable prices in Mexico by 17 percent over the past year, central bank data shows.
In some street markets, where lower-income families shop, stall prices are even higher.
Under the urban gardens program, neighborhoods find suitable spaces and the city government provides seeds, tools and technical assistance from agronomists who teach them how to nurture the plants and make organic fertilizer.
Urban gardeners say the tomatoes, squash, cabbages, and beans sprouting in concrete-block beds in graffiti-covered abandoned lots will take some pressure off pinched budgets.
"Prices have gone up so much. Now a kilo of tomatoes costs 17 pesos; before it was 6," said Maria Carmen Farias, who makes a living selling meals out of her home kitchen.
"Our hope is to cover our needs and if there is a little extra we will have something to sell to our friends," she said, sitting in a garden run by the elderly in the grim Iztapalapa neighborhood in the far south of the city.
Pensioners there beam as they examine their harvest, uprooting giant beets and carrots, rinsing off the dirt, and taking a bite.
"We started in the most vulnerable areas where people don't have steady jobs, where there is high poverty," Mr. Ponce said at his office in the poor but leafy Xochimilco neighborhood, which is crisscrossed by remnants of Aztec canals.
The Aztecs built their floating gardens when Mexico City was sited on what was still a giant lake. They interwove reeds and grass to make a base and layered rock and soil on top for planting.
Named a United Nations World Heritage Site, the waterways are now a tourist draw and party spot crowded with brightly painted mariachi-laden boats and floating beverage vendors.

Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis has been scratched from Saturday's exhibition with Triple-A Norfolk because of neck stiffness.
Markakis said he had no discomfort early this morning, then dealt with neck stiffness while on the flight from Sarasota, Fla.
"I was fine getting on the plane, but as soon as we took off, it stiffened up on me," Markakis said.
Markakis dealt with a slightly herniated disk in his neck last March and he said doctors have told him that he could have "sporadic flare-ups" in the neck. But he said he isn't worried and expects to be fine for Monday's season opener against the Boston Red Sox.
"I've never had this before a game, but if I had to, I could probably play," he said.
Markakis was walking around the clubhouse with a heat pack wrapped around his neck like "a mummy," according to manager Buck Showalter. It was "entertaining" on Saturday, but wouldn't be on Monday, the manager said.
** Showalter is hoping to make his final cuts before the team leaves Norfolk but said things could change if executive vice president Dan Duquette makes some last-minute moves. The roster has to be submitted by Sunday afternoon.
"We are trying to have some last-minute conversations, in contact with Dan. A lot of things, as you all well know, are flying around this time of year," Showalter said. "I'm real careful about telling somebody something that I don't know is going to come to pass for sure. And I want them to feel confident when I tell them something that it's going to happen."
** The roster is basically set, but it hasn't been announced. Showalter was asked specifically about rookie infielder Jonathan Schoop, who is expected to make the team.
"We'll have something there shortly," Showalter said. "The players understand at this level what's going on. And a guy like Jon, I think he feels confident that it's going to be when as opposed to if."
** Showalter said injured third baseman Manny Machado has left the team to attend a funeral in Miami. He'll be back with the club Monday to receive his Gold Glove and Platinum Glove Awards and then will return to Sarasota to continue rehabbing his surgically repaired left knee.
** Showalter said the team had three contingency plans because of the rain in Norfolk on Friday and Saturday, but ultimately felt it could get some of the game in.
"It's an honor to be asked to come here and represent the (organization)," Showalter said. "The bottom line is if it's important to the fans it should be important to us. That's how you look at it."
** Showalter said the club may have to work out indoors Sunday because of rain in Baltimore.

Shop Notes - Locomotive Blended Braking
Blended braking is a feature widely used on passenger type locomotives since the late seventies. On non-blended brake locomotives the locomotive engineer has two different air brake systems, the same as for freight locomotives, the independent and the automatic. Use of the independent brake results in brake application in the locomotive consist only. The automatic brake system is used to apply and release the brakes on the entire train including locomotives. Both the independent and the automatic can be used simultaneously.
Locomotive blended braking is the braking of a locomotive through simultaneous use of both the dynamic brake and the air brake. On locomotives equipped with the Blended Brake system, the setup of the dynamic brake is obtained simply through the use of the automatic brake valve by the engineer. Any brake pipe pressure reduction of more than approximately 8 PSI results in the kick in of the dynamic brakes if all other control conditions are met. This reduction of brake pipe pressure is normally obtained at or near the minimum reduction position of the automatic brake valve handle.
Blended brake control components
On EMD Dash 2 locomotives an electronic module has been developed to provide an interface between the air brake and the dynamic brake systems. This module is known as the DA module. The following components are also required over standard 26L type air brake system for blended brake control (one of each):
- PTCA pressure transducer (call)
- PTBC pressure transducer (brake effort)
- MVH magnet valve -- Hold
- MVR magnet valve - Release
- MVSR magnet valve - wheel slip relay
- EPS pressure switch - emergency
- H-5 Relayair® valve - 25 PSI
When the engineer reduces the brake pipe pressure, an air brake signal is developed by the 26-C/F control valve at pipe #16 in response to the brake pipe pressure drop. The pressure of this pneumatic signal builds up in proportion to the brake pipe reduction and is used as the brake cylinder control pressure. The greater the brake pipe reduction the higher the #16 pipe pressure. As the #16 pipe is used as the brake cylinder pilot air pressure to the J relay, brake cylinder pressure is directly proportional to #16 pipe pressure during automatic brake application.
A pressure transducer reads the #16 pipe during brake application and converts this pressure signal into an electric value to the electronic DA module. This transducer is known as the PTCA (or "call" transducer). With all control conditions encountered, when the pressure exceeds 10 PSI (nominal) at the PTCA the dynamic brake is kicked in by the DA module. About 3 seconds are required to complete the switching loop as to have both the DB and the air brake acting simultaneously.
As #16 pressure keeps increasing, a second pressure transducer (PTBC) sends a signal to the DA module as the brake effort reference.
As both the air brake effort and the dynamic braking force are taken by the DA module for braking calculation, the maximum braking capability of the locomotive will be obtained from maximum dynamic brake retarding force in combination or "blending" with a portion of the brake cylinder pressure as required.
To avoid wheel sliding during blended brake the air brake pilot pressure is exhausted at the MVR through the MVH. When the desired pressure is obtained, MVR is released while MVH is maintained energized. As the dynamic brake retarding force is proportional to the locomotive speed, the brake cylinder pressure is increase through the action of the DA module and magnet valves to maintain maximum locomotive braking efficiency. In such case the MVH is triggered by the DA module to increase the #16 pipe pressure thus brake cylinder pressure. When the locomotive speed is reduced down to 5 MPH the dynamic brake is kick out and maximum air brake pilot signal is restored.
The MVSR magnet valve is energized if wheel sliding occurs providing the exhaust of the pneumatic pilot pressure while DB is maintained during wheel sliding correction.
As the independent can be used at any time during blended brake the DA module provides wheel slide protection if the maximum braking capability is exceeded.
If for any reason the brake pipe pressure drops below 25 PSI, the #16 pilot pressure bypasses the blended brake control system and is directly ported to the J relay valve for maximum brake application, picking up the EPS pressure switch. Actuation of the EPS switch results in a limitation of dynamic brake output to 250 amps over air brake.
Even though today's locomotives are equipped with full electronic air brake systems, these extra components are not required to provide blended braking because of smart software capabilities--the logic of the system is very similar.

Although it's still only November, the smart shoppers out there will be already getting inspired, beating the crowds and purchasing their presents. Therefore for the caravan enthusiasts amongst us (perhaps spending the holidays in a caravan) we at Cosford Caravans have put together a list of the most popular presents to get your loved ones this Christmas. There's something for everyone, whatever your budget:
This is the children's book to buy for your caravanning kids this Christmas. It tells the story of Simon who lives in a rundown caravan park with his mother. One Christmas he decides to enter a local competition for the best decorated house, but because he lives in a caravan the judges never turn up to see his hard work.
Simon's mum phones the Mayor to let them know of his disappointment and the Mayor comes to visit the caravan site and see his decorations. Although the main prize has already been awarded, Simon receives a special reward from the Mayor – one that will change him and his mother's life forever.
This is a beautiful story about the value of dreams and the importance of community and can be purchased from the publisher, Scholastic New Zealand, for $19.95.
This cute eco-friendly, caravan-shaped bird box is the perfect way to share your love of caravanning with the natural world. Each box is handmade and personalised, so be sure to order early as delivery can take up to 20-24 days. If you do get organised though, this gift could make a very unique accessory for either the garden or caravan park. It cost £59 and delivery is free within the UK.
The Pitch Pal is a great practical stocking filler and means you'll never have to wake up in the morning with the sun burning your eyes. If you arrive at the campsite at night or during low visibility this device will show you where the sun will be at any time of day in relation to the available pitches. This means you can always pitch your caravan or motorhome to face your preferred sun.
If you're going Christmas caravanning then maybe let the recipient open this one a bit early, that way on Christmas morning you'll have the best view possible!
If you want to feel like you're in Lapland this Christmas then get some of these mystical colourful fire flames: they can be used on indoor or outdoor fires and will make your camp look like the Northern Lights!
You can find a number of great Christmas gift ideas at Caravan Gifts, but the best is probably their range of clothes and crockery which has the slogan 'A Caravan Is For Life Not Just For Christmas'. There are hats, mugs, bags, T-shirts and hoodies that come in a range of sizes and colours, and all for around £10-£25. A great stocking filler!
If you fancy helping a loved one become more confident towing on the road (or simply you want to feel a lot safer in the passenger seat) then look into giving them a towing and manoeuvring course.
The Caravan Club offer a range of training courses including 10 hours of Practical Caravanning for £155, which covers loading, hitching up and towing safely, practice in manoeuvring and everyday safety checks. They also offer a one-day Caravan Manoeuvring course for more experienced caravanners, which costs £135. This course helps them to hone their skills and increase their confidence, with particular attention given to reversing and turning.
Jazz up your interior caravan décor next year with this goofy cartoon slimline calendar, only £1.49.
The Rivron's are a family of caravanners: Rowland, the television presenter, being the most widely known. His wife Monica Rivron has written The Caravan Cookbook: An Inspirational Guide to Family Cooking to inspire all the other caravanning culinary enthusiasts that cooking without a pantry or kitchen can still be simple and fun.
The book is packed full of ideas for picnics, snacks, main dishes and rainy day baking. The recipes also make use of the fresh produce that you are expected to buy at local markets: an integral part of any caravanning holiday.
If the stockings are already stuffed full then give a loved one something to look forward to in the New Year: tickets to an early-year caravan show. The Caravans and Motorhome Show in Manchester is the North's biggest outdoor leisure show and takes place from 15th-18th January. If that's too early then you can always book the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2015 in Birmingham, which is the UK's biggest start-of-season showcase of all the latest models and new outdoor stock.
This stylish retro clock is the perfect wall addition for your caravan or home. Carefully constructed from chrome tin, it comes in four different vintage colours, all hand painted. If you get it for a family member for Christmas you could use it to count down into the New Year!
It's designed by Ian Blackwell, who also makes a beautiful retro trinket box made from rimu veneer – another great gift idea for Dad.

Acid Reflux Halo Treatment
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
Chronic Acid Reflux is common and popular medications like Prilosec and Nexium are effective treatments.

It is called Barrett's Esophagus, and in some cases it can lead to cancer of the esophagus, which is very hard to treat unless […]

"Funny, isn't it," she said, "how the law can have a soft spot like that? No, someone had seen her in the village at the time Robin went missing, so she wasn't really a suspect. It was decided that because of her. . . because she was . . . well, not to put too fine a point on it, that Meg was best (1) left out of things entirely, and that's how it was done."
"So it was Dieter who found the body then." "Yes. He told me about it that same evening. He was still in shock – hardly making sense: all about how he had come (2) racing down from Gibbet Wood, yelling himself hoarse . . . leaping fences, sliding in the mud . . . running into the yard, looking up at the empty windows. Like dead eyes, they were, he kept saying, like the windows of the Brontes' parsonage. But as I said, poor Dieter was in shock. He didn't know what he was saying."

I guess the first participial construction is a complement of the adjective best, while the second participial construction is an adjunct for it's not necessary to complete the meaning. Am I right?

About New Delhi, India
New Delhi is the capital city of India. As the national capital, New Delhi is the seat of executive, legislative and judiciary branches of the Government of India. It also serves as the centre of the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. New Delhi is situated within the metropolis of Delhi and is one of the nine districts of Delhi Union Territory. The total area of the city of Delhi is 1482 km2.[1][2] New Delhi hosts 145 foreign embassies and high commissions.
The foundation of the city was laid on December 15, 1911.[3] It was planned by two leading 20th century British architects namely Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker. The new Capital was christened "New Delhi" in 1927,[4] and subsequently inaugurated on February 13, 1931,[5] by British India's Governor-General Lord Irwin. On December 12, 2011, New Delhi celebrated 100 years of Capitalship,[6]making it another landmark year in the long history of the historic capital of the region of Delhi.[6] New Delhi is home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Humayun's Tomb, Red Fort and the Qutub complex.[7] There are areas like Old Delhi and Mehrauli in New Delhi which have a number of heritage structures.
New Delhi is known as the microcosm of India[8] and is one of the world's top global cities.[9] It is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and has a total population of nearing 14 million residents. The World Cities Study Group at Loughborough University rated New Delhi as an "alpha- world city".[10] In 2010, Knight Frank's world city survey ranked it 37th globally.[11] The National Geographic's Traveler Magazine describes it as "one of the Ultimate Cities of a Lifetime to visit and explore."[12] In a report jointly prepared by Institute for Competitiveness and Confederation of Indian Industry, the city is listed as the best to live in India.[13][14] According to Mercer, New Delhi is the most expensive city in India for expatriates in terms of cost of living.[15] New Delhi is known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards and is home to numerous national institutions, museums and landmarks.

I'm here, I promise!
We've been going 90 to nothing lately, so I haven't had much time to breathe, much less write a full blog post with pictures. :)
So, you're getting a brain dump today:
1. It has gotten hot in Texas in the past week. We went from upper-80's and refreshing to the gates of hell. It was supposed to top out at 100* today, but they brought it back down to a cool 97*. How thoughtful of Mr. Weatherman!
2. We hired a lady to come clean our house once a month, and it was probably the highlight of my week. (I know, I know, #epicwhitepeopleproblems.) It is just nice to know my house is going to get a full, deep clean once a month. Hello, clean baseboards; blinds; cabinets; doors and windows!
3. Brandon came home with a Nest last night, and I must say, I am pretty obsessed. He purchased it at Best Buy {with a coupon} and came home and installed it by himself last night. I'm hoping this little guy does what it says it can do and reduces our electricity bills up to 20 percent!
4. June is such a busy month for us. Brandon's brother's birthday, my oldest younger brother's birthday, my sister's birthday, Father's Day and my parents' anniversary. Whew! I looked up and it's June 12. I keep telling us we have to slow down and enjoy summer a bit!
5. Speaking of enjoying summer, I had my first snow cone of the summer with one of my co-workers yesterday. We drove all over trying to find a place that was open, and we finally did after about 20 minutes! I got wedding cake with cream, and holy moly, y'all. It was worth the 20 minutes of driving around.
6. Also? I'm loving the whole "no work Fridays." Tomorrow is my first Friday off for the summer, and I am really looking forward to it!
7. I am not calling anyone out here, but it drives me absolutely crazy when women have babies and suddenly everything is a comparison to their life with a newborn. You say, "Oh! The yard guys have started to cut my lawn at 6:30 a.m.! It's so annoying!" They say, "Yeah! Try having those people come at 6:30 a.m. and add a crying, hungry newborn to the mix!" People, I get it. You have a child. I don't need comparisons between your life and mine.
8. I need a hair cut like nobody's business. My split ends are out of control.
9. I saw this thing the other day that said, "Know how you can tell which people do CrossFit and which ones don't? The ones who do CrossFit tell you they do CrossFit...all the time." I was cracking up at that! It's so true!
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with McAlister's. I could eat there every single day if my budget {and waistline} allowed me to do so. The chicken caesar wrap with a side of macaroni and cheese and a sweet tea? Don't mind if I do!
11. I also have an unhealthy relationship with Home Goods lately. Make me stop buying ALL THE THINGS!
12. In honor of Father's Day, I guess I will throw one picture at y'all:
Happy Father's Day, Daddy-o!

Hey shamandalie, nice to see you in the selfportrait's section . I think that you really have to focus on construction. Make a bit of heads studies, and it will be really easier God luck on your journey to improvment !! Keep it up
contact: kikindaface.art at gmail.com
Walid D - Thanks for dropping by dude! You are right, i'm having alot of trouble with construction. I will work hard!
I thought that my skills are not improving, but then i realise something. I cant paint life! AT ALL. I can copy from a photo but when it comes to life drawings/paintings, it's just horrible. (No wonder i used to get Cs for drawing class.)
Was looking through Algenpfleger's speed painting and trying to follow. But..BAH.
Gotta practise more. @_@
Yeah ! better than the previous one ! That's why I really find drawing from photos not really interresting ( so to learn colors it's quite good, but to learn proportions, construction, it's not the best ) When you draw from life, you have to transform a 3d object in front of you in a 2d representation on your paper. With a picture, you just redraw a 2d object, and loose all the processus of representing a 3D object ! That's why it's hard !! So Keep it up ! Wanna see more
contact: kikindaface.art at gmail.com
Walid D - Thanks for stopping by again dude! i appreciate it. you will see more. i hope.
will try to upload one everyday.
this one was fast. i'm need to go paint something. wee.
i can't hatch for nuts. if i need to draw to survive, i would have been long dead.
Okay, i did not bring my wacom to work today and i feel so lost! @_@
Here's something badly done with a mouse.
Trying out some brushes. Didn't turn out so good. @_@
nyahaha. sowwy, busy day! @_@
Okay this one came a little too late. And it's not really a portrait. But it's part of me!
need sleep.
some blind contour drawings for today. I realise this has better line quality than looking and concentrating at the paper! Goodness. Think i should learn to draw properly first.
yo, keep it up! with persistence and hardwork, improvement will come by !
Keep practicing, cause you can only improve and get better.
fast one today.
Okay, i was bummed out that i have no time at work to doodle. Was stuck in the lab doing the computer care stuff for all the coms.
With no paper, there was only the white board. Had to erase it after i draw though. the air was so dry and stale that the ink dries up as soon as i draw it...and i got sick. -_-
Aww man, came back late and i am sleepy. What am i doing? I dont know. But i probably need a trim.
marker and paper.
was testing out brushes. been busy so i missed a day. will upload another one later
PIXEL ART! LAUGH OUT LOUD. I'm so bad at this. @_@
It's Eid al-Adha today! Spent some time talking with my family, and catching up on sleep. There's so much meat to eat as my uncle sacrificed a goat or something but i'm vegetarian. @_@ In any case, i'm glad there's ketupat and i can finally say i know how to weave my own! Took me so long to understand.
What i did today. Wanted to clean it up somemore but my wacom suddenly went wonky on me. Meh.
Okay, my fringe is getting really long, but i kinda like it!
pen. it's either my drawing is way out of proportion or i'm getting really chubby. And i don't know which one is worse.
Hey There, Thanks for stopping by my SP Thread
I see improvement in your works, from your first to your more recent. Keep Practicing!
I would say though, That it would be good for you to think about where you are putting your line down first, before you do so with Marker and such. Thought always helps
I really like your open mindedness though, I love the Whiteboard idea
Keep Practicing, you can only get better
Karein - Thanks for dropping by my sp! Appreciate it. You are right, sometimes i just jump right in and not plan first.
Love your studies alot by the way.
Okay, this is the second time i'm trying out painter. I forgotten that there were so many things that i spent almost half an hour testing all the brushes. Really starting to like it, but it's way different from photoshop, so i'm still trying to get used to it. Probably gonna use it more often.
Quick 5 min thing for today. I went to siggraph asia (thanks to zalxemptyx) and it was great! Looking forward to 2 more days of awesomology. I was really amazed by the new technology now. Met some familiar faces too, which is always a good thing.
I'm really really inspired by the exhibition, but at the same still shit scared. I wanna be as good as those people one day but so afraid i can't make it. I'll never know until i try so i'm gonna push myself even harder.
Today started out great. But it ended bad. Sorry for a shitty piece.
Siggraph asia was a blast! I truly enjoyed it. Got to meet some cool people and learn new stuff. Definitely an eye-opener and inspiration to me. Yep, this industry is really something i wanna do for life.
Okay, i missed a day, so i'm gonna make up for another one later. My eyes are now red and sore from god knows what and i cant even see properly! I think i'm gonna laugh at this piece when my eyes get better.
Man, painter is awesome. It's like having all your traditional paints in front of you! Problem is that i have no knowledge of traditional art so every tool is so foreign. I think i am going to stick to only one tool for every paint for my next SPs.
Hard to understand, but i'm not giving up! So here's my crappy piece.
fast sketch today.

hark I.D.E.A.™
Insight. Design. Emotion. Advocacy.
We have a simple four step flow to our work, each step feeding and naturally evolving into the next. We call it the hark I.D.E.A.™
Powerful insights fuel the way to effective, persuasive design which in turn creates a response with your audience. And when done right, with honesty and clarity, wins hearts and minds.
01 Insight
At the heart of everything we do lies a strong insight. First we interrogate the business objective so we can identify the key behaviour change required to achieve it. We then unearth consumer, category and brand insights, digging deep to find that moment of 'aha!' that puts everything into focus and naturally lends itself to inspire fresh brand building ideas, strong messages and impactful creative.
02 Design
We're here to put the love back into design, we see it as an essential part of the story, the authenticity required that serves to excite, persuade and entertain.
03 Emotion
In today's commercial landscape, brand power is no longer driven by product efficacy alone. Brands form strong customer bonds through developing mind and heart share. With customer expectations rising, Impactful, memorable, emotional connections lead to true brand loyalty.
04 Advocacy
Whether through face-to-face conversations, emails from friends, or online product reviews, the information and opinions we get from others have a strong impact on our own behaviour. Indeed, word-of-mouth generates more than two times the sales of paid advertising and is the primary factor behind 20-50% of all purchasing decisions*. Happy, excited customers not only love your product, they tell others how much they love it too, whether that's via social media or face-to-face over a cup of coffee, on their blog or in a publication. Engage with them through the right channels and they will help you spread your brand message.
* Contagious, Johah Berger. Simon & Schuster Ltd (16 Jan. 2014)

Pion just recently released their new paper collection, "Grandmas School Book". This beautiful collection is made up of light earth tones. Lovely shades of blue, yellow and greens.You can always visit the Pion's Blog to get more inspiration from the wonderfully talented design team.
I gave most of the flowers a frosted look using white gesso to match better with the paper colors.
I made the banner using s Spellbinders die and Pion letter cut out sheet.
Thanks for taking the time....

CHICAGO (CBS) – A Chicago father says a horrible crime against his daughter could have been prevented if a Chicago Public Schools teacher had intervened.
The parent says the instructor watched his daughter and a would-be rapist walking away from her school and was concerned enough to take photos – yet did not alert police.
CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli reports.
Attorney Jeffrey Deutschman says the 30-year-old suspect coaxed the 11-year-old student away from Cook Elementary at 82nd and Bishop with beer and later sexually assaulted her. The attack allegedly occurred in May.
"The reality is the teacher and the school showed reckless disregard for the safety of this child because they could have stopped this terrible act," the attorney says.
Deutschman says the teacher saw the child walking away with the man and was suspicious enough to snap his picture — not once, but three times. The teacher, however, never followed up by calling police, school security or the girl's parents, he says.
"To not say anything to anyone until at least five o'clock that day is absolutely ridiculous," he says.
It wasn't until about eight hours after she snapped the photos that Deutschman says the teacher finally called the parents of the young victim.
CPS officials say they haven't seen the lawsuit and therefore can't comment.
So far, the man has not been charged with a crime.

WHAT do you know and when did you know it? How can you ever keep it all straight? Is McCain-Feingold a Hollywood donor? Did Fra Filippo Lippi sing with the Lippo Group?
If you followed the story this year -- or even if you didn't -- you can test your skills here. There's no entry fee. There's not even a way to keep score. But you might win big. As Dick Morris said he was told by a grateful President Clinton, ''Nothing's too much to pay for a miracle.''
If you can't answer the questions, don't fret. You will doubtless get another chance. The exposition of the shameless intrigues will carry forward into the New Year. And so will the chase after big bucks. DAVID E. ROSENBAUM and FRANCIS X. CLINES

IV. Who said the following?
1. ''Illegal donations are apparently only the tip of the egg roll.''

I'm active on several social media channels and invite you all to connect with me by clicking the social icons below.
I also have a long-standing BLOG, I update less frequently than I used to, but when I do update the blog it's usually worthwhile –or – at least I like to think so.
I won Ironman Canada over the weekend.... yay!
Is this thing still on?
I raced my 10th Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii on Saturday where I notched my 9th top-15 placing - crossing the line in 13th place. Thankful for opportunity.
I just wanted to give a quick update as I raced the 70.3 Worlds Championships last weekend in Mooloolaba, Australia.
What a difference a year makes. Tomorrow, I'll be lining up to race the Ironman Asia Pacific Championships here in Cairns, Australia.
I just wanted to give a quick update after my weekend at the St. George 70.3 event.
I figured it was about time I do a write up-on my FIRST RACE BACK (and other random musings).
We just returned home from an incredible trip to the Bahama's. It was my first time to this corner of the world and all I can say is: WOW.
I decided to partake in this years Ironman World Championships from the OTHER side: volunteering, spectating, commentating, cheering, socializing :)
We have an awesome couch. It's bright orange and modern looking. It's been in our living room for almost two years and up until the end of August this year, I have sat on it maybe only a handful of times.

The best way I can describe Hakka cuisine is Indian influenced Chinese food. Many of the dishes I have tried are reliant on chili peppers and have a definite spiciness to them.
Today I tried the Gan-Ben Beef, Chicken Pakoras, Manchurian fried rice, and the Hakka Tandoori Chicken.
The Gan -Ben Beef ($8.95) was served in a sweet sauce that tasted alright, the texture of the meat was a bit of a turn off. It reminded me of jerky and didn't sit all that well with me. I could see what looked like corn starch on the meat and to be honest, it was a bit gross.
The Chicken Pakoras ($7.95) were passable but weren't outstanding. They seemed to be lacking much curry flavour and didn't bring much heat to the table. The pakoras tasted like the cook had simply sprinkled a little chili powder into the batter. I would dare to say that sadly the pakoras were pretty close to being bland.
The Manchurian Fried Rice ($6.25) was better than the previous two dishes but still wasn't outstanding, there were quite a few shrimp mixed in which I was impressed with. The flavour wasn't quite what I'd come to expect from other places I've tried. I don't like the rice to be overly spicy, this was pretty close to the perfect spiciness forme.
The only dish I really enjoyed was the Hakka Tandoori Chicken ($8.95). It was nicely flavoured and went perfectly well with the onions and peppers. The only thing I found odd about this dish was the tiny pieces of chicken that were provided. As you can see in the picture, almost every piece was smaller than the sliced peppers and onion that accompanied the chicken. Taste wise I really enjoyed this dish, but I don't think it would be the sole reason for me to go back to Kim Kim.

Anthropology Papers
Anthropology Papers
Anthropology papers are writing assignments or academic papers written by students taking courses in the filed of anthropology. There are various types of papers that those students can write and some of them include anthropology essays, term papers, reports, anthropology thesis and anthropology dissertation papers. When writing any type of anthropology paper, it is important to follow the right steps, which will be examined below.
The first step is choosing the appropriate topic for an anthropology paper. To check for the feasibility of the topic chosen, students should do a preliminary research by consulting with their teachers or professors and in the library. A good topic for anthropology papers should be able to raise questions and imply fundamental issues. Information obtained from books and other literary sources should be used to answer the questions raised by the topic chosen for anthropology papers.
After the topic has been chosen, the writer should make an outline that is detailed. One of the questions a writer should ask themselves in the course of researching is the information and ideas that are necessary for the comprehension of the topic chosen for anthropology papers. In order to come with a coherent and logical presentation, it is essential to fist of all come up with a crude outline, which is then revised and elaborated as needed. A good outline enables a writer to identify the information needed in order to conduct a research for writing anthropology papers. It also helps a writer to have knowledge of the order in which anthropology papers should be presented.
The next step is that of writing anthropology papers that have thematic unity as well as a structure that is integrated. A unified paper can be written effectively with an appropriate problem and outline. A unified anthropology paper is that one that sticks to the integral theme or idea of the paper as well as to the outline formulated. Structure on the other hand is used to refer to organization of anthropology papers. There are three main parts in anthropology papers, which are an introduction, body and the conclusion.
There are many students who face challenges when in comes to writing anthropology papers on their own. Such students are always advised to seek writing assistance from custom writing companies available online. There are thousands of companies that can offer custom anthology papers for sale. Unfortunately, most of the companies are unreliable and untrustworthy. It therefore becomes hard for students to figure out a company that is trustworthy and reliable.
Research is the key step that can enable students to choose reliable and trustworthy companies online and get high-quality custom anthropology papers. Through research, it is possible for students to identify the online writing companies that have the desirable features and qualities to enable them provide the best custom anthropology papers. Research also enables students to not only get quality anthropology papers but also to get then at the most affordable prices.
Our company is an online writing company that students and other customers need to rely upon when in need of custom anthropology papers. The custom papers that our company provides are authentic, of superior quality and affordable. Our company hires highly skilled and qualified academic writers with the ability to come up with original and premium quality anthropology papers from scratch.

It's not often that a model gets front page attention at the Wall Street Journal. Last Friday, WSJ placed an article on Aetna's pricing model trouble on the front page of the Marketplace section. According to the article, Aetna had to pull a request for increasing prices for California policyholders when they discovered "miscalculations" in the monthly premiums. It's not clear from the article if there were multiple errors or the magnitude of the errors. This story comes a few months after another insurer, Wellpoint, received similar press about how external auditors found mathematical errors in their filing.
How can this happen? You would expect that with something so important, there would be ways to make sure that "model errors" would be caught and fixed BEFORE things get filed and rate increases are announced. (Approximately 765,000 Wellpoint and Aetna policyholders would have been affected by the "wrong" price increase had the errors not been found.)
I have not worked with either company, but I have seen several kinds of similar mistakes in pricing/cost models. The fact that many mathematical models have mistakes is not a surprise for those who study how models are built and used. Ray Panko, whose research focuses on spreadsheet errors, has collected data from several authors that show that 88% of spreadsheets have errors. Furthermore, Panko has found that 1% of all spreadsheet formulas are in error. One percent may seem small… until you consider how "big" one mistake can be. Can you imagine how many formulas must be in Wellpoint or Aetna's model?
I recall talking to folks at NASA about failure rates for the 10,000 components they may have on a Space Shuttle. One tenth of one percent failure (0.1%) is still 10 components. Some components have backups or may be non-essential, but many components are essential to the survival of the crew and the success of the mission.
Think about your last "big model". How many errors do you think it has? Would you be open to letting others audit it?

|Reaching a deadline
Outside of work, I've been busier than usual, so the blog gets pushed to the back burner. This weekend was the first in a while in which we weren't traveling or caught up with other events and we did all kinds of exemplary weekend-y things. (Have you noticed how weekends have become a competitive sport?) Friday night, Jon and I went to Bang, the restaurant of forty martinis. We haven't been there in ages and it was nice to revisit some of my favorite tapas and savor a Pink Flamingo martini.
Saturday morning, in the manner of a healthy living blogger, I ran to the farmer's market. I didn't buy anything, but stopped by my Mad Hatter friends' booth. I'm a bit soured on the Charlottesville farmer's market and I'm thinking of switching to Waynesboro's. Later, I painted the walls in the front hall. After all my griping about how gray was too cold and "interrogation room" I ended up choosing gray paint anyway. (Sherwin Williams "pediment.") Forgive me for being fickle!
It's not done. Oh, no, not even close.
I painted as high as I could reach with this ladder set up, which wasn't quite high enough. Jon was very cross about this, as I snuck the ladder into the house through the back door when he wasn't looking. As far as he is concerned, we could have left the hall alone, saved ourselves a lot of trouble, and everything would be fine. As far as I'm concerned, everything would NOT be fine because everything would still be ORANGE.
|This is why we paint the hall only once every 15 years
Saturday night we went to the new Crozet Pizza Pourhouse with ER friends. We were in a celebratory mood because earlier that day Jon gave the keynote address at Aircare's annual Education Day. He had been preparing for months, so it was a relief to have delivered a successful speech. Aircare provides helicopter transport and emergency medical services for critically ill and injured in the Shenandoah Valley and West Virginia.
The big news is that I'm leaving for Cape Town on Friday. I can't wait to see Brigid! I'm going alone because Jon didn't feel he could get away from work, and the kids have exams and such. I admit, it's scary to travel so far on my own. I'm a little embarrassed because it's such a self-indulgent trip; conspicuous consumption and all that, plus abandoning my work colleagues when there is so much to be done. On the other hand, in ten year's time, would I regret taking the opportunity to visit my daughter or would I regret sticking around in my cube to work?
Brigid took this photo in Cape Town.
