|1000 mg
|1 ml (10 mg/ml)
|1 ml (20 mg/ml)
Product Features
Mutagen and recombinant Proteinase K from Tritirachium album is non-specific, subtilisin-related serine protease [1] with a very high specific activity. The enzyme cleaves peptide bonds at the carboxylic sides of aliphatic, aromatic or hydrophobic amino acids. The smallest peptide to be hydrolyzed by this enzyme is a tetrapeptide. Proteinase K is supplied as a lyophilized powder.
- stable over a wide pH range: 4.0-12.5, optimum pH 7.5-8.0
- not inactivated by metal chelators, by thiol-reactive reagents or by specific trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitors
- the activity of the enzyme is stimulated by 0.2-1% SDS or by 1-4 M urea
- Ca2+ protects Proteinase K against autolysis, increases the thermal stability and has a regulatory function for the substrate binding site of Proteinase K [6]
- purification of target material from contaminating proteins
- isolation of genomic DNA and mRNA from cultured cells [3]
- removal of DNases and RNases when isolating DNA and RNA from tissues or cell lines [2,3]
- determination of enzyme localization [4]
- improving cloning efficiency of PCR products [5]
Storage Temperature
Lyophilized Proteinase K or solutions in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 5 mM CaCl2, 50% glycerol (v/v) can be stored at -20°C for at least 12 months from the date of purchase.
Recommended Storage Buffer
- 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 5 mM CaCl2 and 50% (v/v) glycerol (storage at -20ºC)
Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate (DPF) completely inhibit the enzyme. Proteinase K is also inactivated by heating above 65ºC for 20 min.

If there's one thing we've learnt about Katie Price over the years, it's that she doesn't hold back when it comes to speaking her mind.
And on Thursday the Loose Women star stayed true to her fiery reputation when she lashed out at ex Kieran Hayler and his supposed new girlfriend in a series of furious social media posts.
Taking to Instagram, 40-year-old KP claimed she's already met the woman in question – who she names as Michelle – but then goes on to slam their relationship before warning Kieran about "karma".
"I finally met Kieran's new girlfriend who he dating while we were together along with Chloe Bull … ouch to them," she wrote next to a quote about cheating.
Katie previously accused her husband of five years of having a fling with 19-year-old Co-op worker Chloe Bull, who has since furiously denied the claims.
In another photo which read "I have no respect for women who help married men cheat," the former glamour model – who shares four-year-old Jett and three-year-old Bunny with Kieran – then continued her rant.
"It was lovely to meet Michell Kieran's new girlfriend… I said I'm happy for her but he will cheat on her too! I want it amicable… And remember I'm innocent yet being played in the media as I'm in the wrong I love karma and it's coming his way."
In one final blow, the telly star wrote, "The Only thing I got precious out of that t**t was Jett and Bunny." Eeeek!
Pricey has since deleted the cutting messages, but instead replaced them with a gushing post about her toyboy Kris Boyson saying she wishes she'd met him 'years ago'.
Next to a cosy snap of the new couple, she wrote, "This is the real gentleman @krisboyson that's puts a smile on my face everyday that treats me like a women should be treated ! He is perfect in every way and wish I met him Years ago … he is my total rock in every way and I feel so lucky everyday."

Proudly Serving Contra Costa and Alameda Counties
Hauling and Junk removal services are much like the wizard behind the curtain. Services like these and your everyday garbage man are so vital to the health of every city across America and yet these ordinary workers and laborers are given so little credit. They're the men and women behind the curtain. Day in and day out, they perform hard laborious work that most people would run and cower from. Meanwhile we barely recognize them until….
Until the day we really need them. This day comes for different reasons for everybody. For some like Samuel it's because the office they work for is remodeling and the boss suddenly wants the place practically gutted. Despite not being part of his job description it's suddenly Samuel's responsibility as the new manager to clean it and remove everything, and how in the world you wonder, is he going to do that?
For others, such as Cynthia of Walnut Creek, who discovered her fiancee and partner for 5 years was cheating on her while living in her house, she couldn't throw his stuff out of the windows fast enough. Cynthia was going mad at the sight of anything 'his' and wanted it all out of her sight before he came home that evening. What could she do?
And when the local HOA got on Ted's case for leaving the heaps of his deck renovation on his lawn, how was he to escape the fines they were threatening?
The answer of course is simple: All of these people solved their problem with professional hauling services. Professional haulers and junk removal services can usually come the same day, and load and haul all your junk in short time. They're fast, efficient and affordable, and at the end of the day, they may not be giving you a massage, but they've sure resolved a headache for you.

stitching up some love!
This sweet garland was a gift from Little Man's teacher...she's so thoughtful! Strips of felt become hearts with a simple straight stitch across one end. Then, by turning it inside out and stitching the other end, a heart appears. Slipped on a length of thread along with fluffy pompoms and cheery ribbon, the garland makes for a heartfelt greeting across a door, mantel, or as a runner down the center of a table. Thanks a bunch, Mrs. N!
I made the heart pockets years ago when I was first learning to blanket-stitch (so don't look too closely!)
I cut out felt hearts, then blanket-stitched around the edges...being sure to leave the top open. After adding a bit of chenille rick-rack, vintage buttons, and a few hand-stitched X's and O's, they were ready. Each year they're filled with a variety of favorite candy for the kids, and of course my hubby.
Even old scraps can be turned into something special. Small pieces of a worn quilt become a gift that's sure to be handed down. Cut the fabric into hearts, stitch along the edges, leaving room to stuff the heart with batting, then stitch closed and sew a button in the center.
There's a snow coming, and temps will be quite chilly this weekend, so it's a perfect time to celebrate
Home, Sweet, Home. Let's bring back the days when lovely Valentine memories were made from paper,
lace, crayons, glue, and imagination!

Frankly, I don't recall why I started. I do know, though, that I was really excited when I found out that someone who was neither my wife nor my child had read what I had written. Now, one year later, I have nearly 12,000 hits. People that I have never heard of have e-mailed about things I have written and none of them have been death threats. People that I do know have written me and have been very complimentary.
When I first started, I had some thoughts about what I would blog about. I was going to have a heavy focus on analyzing new laws and new regulations. Well, the lovely folks at Treasury and Labor didn't read my mind. They forgot to give us much in the way of new regulation. And, Congress, they can't get anything passed, so expecting to see new laws to analyze was nothing more than a pipe dream
So, I have evolved. I have done a lot of observational writing, perhaps patterned more after Freakonomics than the Harvard Law Review. Well, in all honesty, it's been neither, but I have tried my best to inform and to entertain, but perhaps most of all, to make you think.
It's been fun. I like to think that I am not the traditional math geek in that I can construct a proper sentence or even paragraph when I choose to. So, writing is often relaxing. Yet, at the same time, some of my thought pieces make me think as well.
And, no I'm not quitting this blog (or my other one either). It's not easy every week, though, to come up with two or three blog posts with which to entertain myself and hopefully be worth reading for at least a few of my readers. So, as I thank everyone who has taken the time to stop by to see what in the world my most recent ramble is about, I beg for these things:
- Keep reading. I love my readers.
- Comment some. It's not hard and it doesn't take much time. I'd like to know what you think.
- Give me blog post ideas.
- Figure out why mass distribution newsletters such as NewsDash and BenefitsLink don't pick up my posts (I've tried) and convince them to do so once in a while. I know that my drivel is more worthwhile than some of what they do circulate.
- Refer your friends to my blog. I'll even settle for referrals to your pets.
Thanks again for reading.

// Paste this code as high in theof the page as possible: // Additionally, paste this code immediately after the opening tag:
By Reverend Dr. Morar Murray-Hayes
Monday, May 20, 2013 9:00 am ·  1 Comment
This past week, R.A. Dickey, pitcher for the Blue Jays, was presented with an honorary doctorate from Wycliffe College, the Toronto School of Theology at the University of Toronto. He certainly didn't receive this honour for playing baseball, or even for his renowned knuckleball. In fact it really wasn't given for anything that he did. Rather it was a recognition of the Holy Spirit working in his life. Dickey said himself that he hasn't become who he is on his own.
"I stand before you not in any way a self-made man. I have been a product of a lot of people who have loved me and poured into me in a way that has transformed my life."
But even that love couldn't sustain him is a time of despair.
"I got to a place where I was in my life about six years ago where I was at the end of myself."
The disciples got to that place when they were hiding out in the Upper Room. They had come to the end of themselves without Christ. From the book of Acts,, chapter 2, verses 1-3:
"I stand before you not in any way a self-made man. I have been a product of a lot of people who have loved me and poured into me in a way that has transformed my life."
– R.A. Dickey
"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them."
Each of us has our own moment of coming to the end of ourselves, our resources, our strength, courage, endurance. We don't always have an experience of such drama as violent wind and fire. Dickey's words again:
"I became a Christian when I was 13, but I didn't have the follow-through that I needed —… I found myself in the fall of 2006 at the steering wheel of a car with all the windows rolled up and a garden hose attached from the muffler to the passenger-side window in the hopes of ending it all. Why? Because I had… come to a place in my life where I had realized that I had made a lot of mistakes, and… I had been the victim of some things that are tough to wrap your arms around, a Christian or not. So I was in that place and I was about to turn the key and I really felt the Holy Spirit saying, 'R.A., I'm not done with you yet. Don't do that.'… literally those words: 'Do not do that.' And so as lonely as I felt in that moment at the steering wheel of a Chevrolet Cavalier, I never felt truly alone."
The disciples experienced violent wind and tongues of fire. For Dickey it was a quiet voice of reassurance and a call to continue to live out his purpose.
And the result? A new understanding by people of many nations:
"Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, 'Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?'"
And the result for Dickey?
"I share that with you and I'm vulnerable with you in this moment because I really believe that God has called me to be here for a reason. I do believe in divine appointments, I believe this is one of them… From then on, as I walked out of that car, I had the encouragement of my pastor at home to seek help from Christian counsel, and some of you may end up in that place. And it was there that my life was changed forever more…"
And what did Dickey do as a result? Full of the Spirit, Dickey raised $100,000 by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and went with his daughters to Mumbai, India, to a red light district where Christians were trying to bring change and hope. With that money, they were able to transform a brothel into a medical clinic. He continues to help transform the lives of children with education.
Dickey has a challenge for us:
"As I continue to walk forward in this life, whether it's in the dugout at the Rogers Centre or it's here with you, God has given me a responsibility of trying to invest in every moment, in conversation, in relationship…, and to try to devote myself to the discipline of sucking the marrow out of every second that I can. I think that is what God helps us to do…. 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength; and the second commandment is this: to love (your) neighbour as (your)self.'"

Handwriting Improvement Tutor
Exceptional Handwriting Improvement
Improving children's penmanship, legibility, pencil grasp, and working on problem areas are all important things that need to be addressed—especially in the digital age when most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile devices or typing on a keyboard. Voice recognition software has even evolved to the point that commands can now be verbal—making even keystrokes obsolete!
Visual-motor skills, such as eye-hand coordination, are associated with academic achievement. Scientists have found that developing fine motor skills in early childhood can predict not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school.
Children who can write quickly and legibly are more likely to demonstrate skills in expressing their thoughts through the written word. When kids struggle to write neatly and efficiently, they are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-esteem.
I am child- friendly with a good sense of humor that helps ease and relax pupils in order to create a type of relationship that makes our interaction cooperative.
I taught at Cedar Oak School as a preschool/primary teacher and a Reading Defaults Teacher from 2014-2017. I also worked as an English/Diction teacher at Heirs Of Promise School in 2017.
I possess teaching skills that enables pupils with inadequate reading and problem solving skills to properly interpret and comprehend through one on one interaction that goes beyond text book exercises.I was awarded for public speaking and reading skills at Meadow Hall Public Speaking Training in 2016.
I apply different teaching concepts until desired goals are achieved. My aim is to support pupils and help them develop academic independence as well as sound critical thinking, emotional and psychological skills that are not limited to subject teachings.
I do not teach route learning technique except when necessary, in the case of multiplication tables; I strictly teach with concepts which help pupils to relate with their immediate environment at home.

High pressure is inching back down from the north, and this helps keep us on the cloudier side, especially during the morning hours Friday. It keeps an east/northeasterly flow to begin the day. This creates a fairly cloudy start, with some foggy and misty spots likely too. Throughout the morning, clouds are fairly dominant, but sunshine begins working back in by the afternoon. Skies don't completely clear out until the evening. It's a more seasonable day, with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Tonight, the chill works back into the region under clear skies. Temperatures dip into the upper 40s to lower 50s.
For the weekend, high pressure positions itself in a way that leads to plenty of sunshine. The weekend looks fantastic with abundant sun on Saturday. Highs reach the lower 70s. High pressure begins slipping to the northeast overnight Saturday. Sunday expect a few extra clouds to build in, but it's still a nice day with highs in the lower to middle 70s. All outdoor fall plans look good to go! Enjoy it!
A cold front from the west approaches Monday, but it will likely go through dry. Clouds increase during the afternoon with highs reaching the lower to middle 70s. A shower or two are possible late in the day through early Tuesday. An area of low pressure developing in the Atlantic could meander far enough west to slow down the front and keep some extra clouds around Tuesday. Either way, it looks dry with highs in the lower to middle 70s. Through Thursday, expect a mixture of clouds and sunshine to stick around. Highs remain in the middle 70s.
Have a great weekend!

|Sruong Pheavy. Photos courtesy of LifeTimePhoto/Billking Korea
By Ko Dong-hwan
When the daughter of a potato farmer came to Korea from Cambodia in 2010 to start the second chapter of her life as the wife of a Korean man 36 years older, Sruong Pheavy, like any other marriage migrant woman here, had no idea what was coming.
She did not know back then that she had a knack for carom ― with the potential to play for international titles. She also did not know that she would be Cambodia's heroine to whom building a school for children would not be a far-fetched lifetime goal.
Pheavy, 29, who lives in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, is now in hot demand. After winning the women's tournament at the 2018 ZANCA-Championship Asia 3-Cushion Open, Nov. 26, she extended further her already established reputation inside Korea. She was invited to appear on "Sugeun Lee's Channel" on YouTube in November, run by one of the country's top comedians Lee Su-geun, and played a friendly scotch double match with Korean celebrities where she wowed male players.
In Cambodia, she is "received as highly as Korean figure skating queen Kim Yuna," according to the JoongAng Ilbo.
|Pheavy, having learned carom from her Korean husband, is ranked the World No. 3 after winning the ZANCA-Championship Asia 3-Cushion Open in Seoul in November.
The Cambodian learned carom from her husband in 2011 when she tagged along with him to a local billiard parlor. Seeing that she had some ability, he suggested she should take up playing seriously. Setting her course just like that, she practiced up to 20 hours a day.
She told the JoongAng Ilbo that her average was 1.0 and record high-run 14 points.
Choi Hyun-hee, project chief from Korean billiard custom cue brand Billking Korea which sponsors Pheavy, told The Korea Times citing the Cambodian, that "she prefers three-cushion billiards to four-ball because it suits her better as it satisfies her needs and makes her happy."
For three years she played in amateur championships, even beating a male finalist once. After turning professional in January 2016, she won three national tournaments. After 17 months, she outranked all 39 Korean female three-cushion players.
To play internationally, she had to satisfy the administrative condition of having her country's national support through an official billiard authority. And the country did not have such an organization.
|Pheavy with her father in Cambodia in January 2018 showing her championship medals from a Korean national tournament in August 2017.
In June 2018, the Cambodian government set up the Cambodian Billiard and Snooker Federation for Pheavy. The move came after the son of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen read her social media posts in Cambodian about her professional performance and life as a billiard player. He provided 10 million won ($8,900) in funding.
Pheavy was ranked World No. 14 after taking third place at the World Championship 3-Cushion Billiards in Izmir, Turkey, in September this year. Following her performance at ZANCA at Olympic Parktel in Seoul where she beat South Korea's Kim Bo-mi 30-22 in 26 rounds, the "Cambodian Express" jumped to third place behind Therese Klompenhouwer of the Netherlands and ZANCA final match runner-up Gulsen Degener from Turkey in the global rankings.
Pheavy is now sponsored by Phnom Penh Commercial Bank in Cambodia and Korean billiard custom cue brand Billking Korea.
Pheavy expects an honorary award of 15 million won from the Cambodian government for her record global ranking.
She reportedly wishes to donate five million won to her nation's billiard federation and to put the rest toward building a school for children in Cambodia. She recently sent 10,000 parasiticides for children in Cambodia.
"Pheavy contributed to adding one more state-level billiard federation to the Asian region and expanding the sport's market in the region," Choi said.

History - Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales Flashcards. Geoffrey Chaucer (1342-1400) - "The Canterbury Tales" (in middle english and modern english) Bloodletting And Knights: Medieval Investment Terms. The cry of "Ho varlet, thou hast offended mine honor" has become increasingly rare.
Sword fights in the streets, jousting for a lady's hand, and not bathing for weeks have also gone out of style (at least officially), but we can still revel in the romance of the medieval world. Today we'll be looking at some of investing terms that hearken back to a time of kings, knights and princesses. Let's get medieval! Crown JewelsThe crown jewels of the British monarchy have been around for over 800 years. Changeling. The history of bloodletting. With a history spanning at least 3000 years, bloodletting has only recently—in the late 19th century—been discredited as a treatment for most ailments.
The practice of bloodletting began around 3000 years ago with the Egyptians, then continued with the Greeks and Romans, the Arabs and Asians, then spread through Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It reached its peak in Europe in the 19th century but subsequently declined and today in Western medicine is used only for a few select conditions. Changeling.

As a parent, you will want to provide the best support that you could do your child. If your child chooses to pursue in the path of science, one of the biggest challenges that they will have to face is physics. Physics is commonly known to be a tough subject. To get through physics with good results, it is essential that you create a good understanding on the subs, enhance the skills that require in the subject of physics and there are many other features of physics that a student should be well aware of in order to make it easier and to create a good understanding in the subject.The best way to give your child the needed guidance into understanding and loving physics, you can choose a reputed physics tutor for your child. These are the great benefits that you child can gain from the guidance of physics private tutor:
Provides individual attention to students
To create a good understanding in physics in a student, it is important that they get individual attention. If you don't, it will not be easy for them to create a good understanding. Different students nee different levels of attonewton in order to create a good understanding. Keep in mind that doing even the most complicated sums in physics will be easy when the basic principles are well understood. With tutoring Perth, as a student will be given initial attention, their doubts are listened to and cleared, they will gain much better understanding of the subject.
Their confidence will be boosted
As physics is known to be a subject that is tough. If a student that doesn't get any help faces and exam, they will have a lot f of self-doubt and lack of confidence in dealing with the subject. However, when a student has been getting help and when all their doubts are cleared out by the help of professionals in the field, they will have much better confidence in the subject, and they will gain much better marks as well.
They will start loving the subject
When a student creates a good understanding in a tough subject such as physics, they will find their passion in it. Most students who are not aware their passion is physics are not capable of finding the subject that they love and the field that they should pursue in because they are held back because they unable to understanding the subject and how much well you are doing in physics.

Human Nature and Lying: Understanding the Liar
We have discussed how insulting it is to be lied to previously, and it is with this in mind that we continue to press to understand human nature for what it is.
Understanding human nature is the key to understanding government, and why laws exist, and why even something as basic as table manners are consequential. Understand human nature, even in a slightly more in-depth way, and you will have a keener understanding of culture, language, dress, appearance and...
Why do some people lie? This is not a difficult question. Some people lie to protect their own interests.
Here is a much deeper question:
Why do some people lie when there is no need to lie?
Now, we are on to something else, altogether, and it is here that we find just how important good parenting is.
I recall an account in high school in which a student stood before the class and confessed his cheating. He took a "zero" on a major exam and voluntarily stood before his peers and admitted his transgression.
Some kids chuckled, calling him a "fool" for getting caught in the first place, while others thought he was a fool for admitting what he had done.
I was impressed.
I felt that he was a better human being than me.
I thought that if I had been in his shoes, I would like to have believed that I would have been a man and "manned up", as it is said today, and done the same thing, but I had this nagging feeling that my hypothetical soothing of my soul was not true.
I did not know if I would do the right thing.
Liars are murderers in training.
Pilate knew that Christ was innocent of the charges laid upon Him in the mock trial. He knew, as it was recorded, that Christ was brought to him for execution out of envy.
Envy is more powerful than we understand.
Pilate, so speculated Charles Spurgeon, was in training, his whole life, for this very moment. Pilate, he said, was a shrewd and ruthless politician, who rose through the ranks by deceit even to the point of having his political enemies go missing in the night.
When we witness a crime, for example, it can shock our senses. What we do not see is what brought the criminal to the point of doing what he did. This has always been the theory behind criminal profiling (at least back in the 80's and 90's. 'No one just graduates to murder' was the conclusion. Of recent times, we have seen brutal street murders by those without criminal records. Yet, I do not discount the profiling entirely.
John Douglas had written that the garroting of Jonbenet had to be done by someone with a history of violence, therefore, clearing one of the Ramsey parents, in his mind.
If Jonbenet had died a slow, torturous death by garroting, gasping and pleading for her life, I would agree.
What was missing in this scenario is the slow, step by step degradation and calcification of the soul of the parents.
John Ramsey was a successful business operator who had to make many tough decisions in life, and reached a point of standing in his community. His trophy wife, Patsy, was also in this standing with him, having been brought to prominence by her outward appearance, not for her intellect or character.
I touch upon only a minor point:
It was said by those around them that there would be no chance that Patsy Ramsey would ever wear the same outfit the next morning after wearing it that night.
I do not believe Jonbenet died of torture, but that she died at the hands of one parent with the other parent covering up, via an unintentional death, born of frustration.
This week, in discussing disciplining of children, I told my daughter that undisciplined children are in greater risk of physical abuse than those who are appropriately disciplined. I then explained why. The extremist view, either side, is going to end poorly.
Did this sentence divert you from the Ramsey case? Did it light in you memories of an out-of-control parent slapping your face, insulting your dignity, and abusing you only to leave you with a life time of scars and resentment of a spanking?
We must stay focused.
Understanding the liar is a constant challenge of learning. Learning presupposes humility, as humility is the key that allows one to grow.
First Exercise:
Describe your experience with a liar.
What did you learn?
What was the liar like?
Did the liar lie when it was unnecessary to do so? This is the critical point to begin with.
Leave your thoughts with us to contemplate in the comments section as we will discuss deception
I do not believe Jonbenet died a premeditated death, but instead died as a result of an explosion of anger, a victim of sexual abuse who was talking too much and she was eventually silenced, with a cover up, perhaps, learned from the books and video taped movies that were on the shelves of the Ramseys.
Money purchased the injustice we saw, even as the Grand Jury indicted them in the death of their daughter.
Money influenced the thinking of those around them.
They lied out of necessity of protecting their own selves.
Second exercise:
How do you think, if true, they justified this to themselves, afterwards? Seek to enter their language in your response.
We are hoping to expand our Statement Analysis services to include audio files, transcription services, and online courses available via download.
If you would like to help:

I still remember this case and have some material which I printed off my computer at that time in hopes that I would have it available in the future, when case will be solved. Ever since then, I believe that a young B. was sexually abusing J. for some time. Children were up when parents were not (pineapple in J.'s stomach parents didn't know about). That night, when B. was hyper over all Christmas activities and gifts (he was very excitable boy), he went too far and seriously hurt J. When she passed out, he didn't know what to do and started pulling her down the stairs (head injury which was not visible till autopsy). When parent/s discovered what was going on, J. was either dead or close to it. B. was sent to bed immediately, before anything future would happen and before he knew J. was dead or almost dead. P. wrote the ransom note and J. did staging in the meantime. Both actions were "overkill". I could feel the desperation, horror of what would happen in they don't cover up this life shattering situation. They were saving themselves, but their justification must have been that they were saving their son's future. They could not help J., but there was still B.

Jimmie Johnson wins his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pole award since 2010 with a record-breaking lap speed of 181.818-mph.
As the only five-time champion in NASCAR's history, Johnson now holds the track record over Kyle Busch who was awarded the distinction in the inaugural Quaker State 400's practice session, when the traditional qualifying process was rained out in 2011.
Over the last couple years, qualifying has been a challenge for the No. 48 team. So Johnson was pleased with their 2012 qualifying performance at Kentucky Speedway's first real qualifying event for the Sprint Cup series.
"It was a very comfortable lap, a very good lap. Qualifying has not been our strong suit the last two years, so we're happy to get this pole today," said Jimmie Johnson. "The conditions were so slick, it took a while to get the feeling I was looking for. We're on the right track now."
Although, this weekend is only the second Sprint Cup Series race at the track, Johnson says he's not unfamiliar with it's unique characteristics, which may have served him well in getting his car ready for qualifying and racing on Saturday night.
"This track has so much character. It would be great to win here at Kentucky. We used to test here a lot back in the day. Turns 3 and 4 have taken quite a few 48 race cars from us, so last year was good for me. I came back with a lot of confidence," Johnson said.

Joining Jimmie Johnson on the front row, Kyle Busch will certainly provide some competition for the five-time champion in the Quaker State 400 as he became the first driver to earn race wins in four different series at Kentucky Speedway when he took the checkered flag at the last year's Quaker State 400. Busch, known as a talented wheelman still start the race on Saturday night having led 704 of the 1,819 Kentucky Speedway laps he's raced while racking up a total six top-five and eight top-ten finishes across a combined ten Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck, and ARCA Racing series starts.
Although his qualifying effort fell short of expectations, Kyle Busch goes into the Quaker State 400 with a level of confidence, based on his past performance at the track.
"I was certainly hoping for a little bit more there, but we weren't able to achieve what we needed to," said Kyle Busch. "We're going into tomorrow night's race with good pit selection and we're starting up front, which is good for us. I typically don't qualify well, but this is a place where we know what we have to do to qualify well."
Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Denny Hamlin qualified third with a lap speed of 181.147-mph. But the challenge for Joe Gibbs Racing drivers continues to be their engine failures during the 2012 season thus far. The money question for the Gibbs racing drivers remains, will their engines hold up for the duration of the race tonight?
The inaugural Kentucky Speedway Nationwide series winner, Kevin Harvick will start along-side Denny Hamlin in the second row with his qualifying lap of 180.367-mph and will represent Richard Childress Racing in the quest to continue breaking records in the second annual event at Kentucky Speedway Saturday night.
Tune in tonight on TNT for their 6:30pm ET pre-race show with the race scheduled to begin around 7:30pm ET.
For this race, Fan4Racing is conducting a Race Day Chat on our Official Facebook page. Click the "Let's Talk" chatroom link. Or fans can join the conversation by clicking the Race Day Chat page link on our Fan4Racing site. Space is limited, so plan to join us early. See you there!

Agency MD Julie Flexen confirmed job cuts were on the way but declined to comment on the number of staff that would be affected.
'Keeping our business in good shape, running top quality campaigns, and providing opportunities for growth and personal development are key business priorities,' she said.
'Sadly, clients spending less is today's reality and, while it is regrettable, reducing costs is the appropriate response.'
The agency's consumer and admin teams are expected to bear the brunt of the job cuts.
According to PRWeek's Top 150, M&F had 46 staff in 2008, down from 57 the previous year.

Discussion in 'Mens Basketball' started by Gunnerclone, Oct 25, 2019.
Soooo.... are we still in the running for Jaylin Williams?
Meh. They'll find somebody. College basketball rosters are constantly turning over.
A big in your face funny for the dad but playing it for his own Hawk amusement did and does put us off from recruiting a kid somewhere with honest interest in ISU.
I would say I'm the future to not make guarantees. Just say you have heard good things. Actually you should probably quit giving inside info since you were so horribly wrong. You are not really trustable as an inside source anymore.
Buying into the propaganda that Dayton really is considered "in" the tournament?
It's recruiting. Things change all the time.
just so you know you're going to get banned.
Right. Probably not smart to make a guarantee.
i would recommend you figure out how to use one user name. It's weird you can't do that.
Oh I agree. I would never make that guarantee. But anyone who believed anything was 100% in this situation is pretty naive. Obviously I was optimistic with the inside info coming out but nothing is sure until someone is on campus.
Thank you for the advice!
It's an 18 year old involved in a highly publicized recruiting war between rival in-state schools. Of course things can change at the drop of a hat. I appreciate everyone trying to give insight into the situation and sharing any information that they were privy to. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if things changed between now and tomorrow morning.
Actually you have number one wrapped up, and the competition is pretty strong. So good job
Foster is the real loser in this if he chooses Iowa.. So, if that's the way it bounces I guess we should feel sorry for him.
Was he ever?
Pretty sure CyTwins just gets his info from 247 and pretends it's his. At least that's my suspicion based on the timing of what's posted over there by some respected posters, then he posts similar things here shortly after.
I feel sorry for Foster. Hopefully it works out for him, but I doubt it will.
He's saying he really didn't know jack squat the whole time.
Gee, you showed up again. Have you been here when something good happened to ISU? You should change your name to ISUNO1pretendingFan

Date: 12 Jun 2010 01:50 Title: Truth, Justice, and the Cardassian Way
An interesting look at the Cardassian justice system. So I guess in the universe where the Bajorans conquered the Cardassians, some middle ground between religious despotism and secular fascism.
Author's Response:
If you're referring to what the Bajorans did when they took over, I would say Iran is a good model for the system the Bajorans imposed upon the Cardassians.
As to before the Bajorans took over in that universe, the system has secularized for the most part and bears a fair resemblance to the legal system of England. The Hebitian system was theocratic in nature, and while it didn't set out to commit injustices, there were still people who gamed the system to their benefit.
Date: 04 Jun 2010 12:36 Title: Truth, Justice, and the Cardassian Way
Very informative and well-written. I did the contrast between the canon system and your alternate universe system. The way you lead in to your alternate system is also pretty clear. This was a very good way of explaining a judicial system that was only seen in one episode.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading! Yeah, I didn't have a lot of material to go off of so there's a lot of guesswork--and the Cardassian system as seen in that episode did not make a whole lot of sense. I figured the only way something like that could've come about is if it had been based off of an old system--and one still different enough that the Conservator Kovat wouldn't have even had an old Hebitian precedent to draw from, to understand why O'Brien was so confused.
As for the alternate system, I'd laid the groundwork for it already in The Desolate Vigil, but I'm glad to know it makes sense! (Now I don't know how well humans would handle the continued closeness of church and state that the AU Cardassians have...but they've made it work.)

Hi, my name is Ryan Weaver, the creator, and author behind Ketogenic Supplement Reviews. Ever since I was a kid growing up in the Alameda, CA neighborhood, my father has inspired me to become who I am today. I still remember the moments when he always wakes me up early in the morning for us to play one-on-one basketball. He's a big Michael Jordan fan like most of the fathers out there, and he wanted me to be athletic as early as 7 years old.
Our father and son bonding did not stop playing basketball; thus, he also taught me how to play soccer, baseball, and even American football. No wonder why I am so much of an athlete today. While my father taught me sports, my mother opened my eyes on how to live a healthy life. She always tells me that being engaged in sports does not 100% guarantee that I will be healthy but it should always complement with a healthy diet and living.
Being a sports fanatic and health enthusiast, I studied BA in Health and Wellness at Ashford University. As time goes by and a lot of diet plans emerge all over the world, one type of diet has caught my attention the most — the ketogenic diet.
Now, I have ventured the world of blogging to share my ideas, insights, and product reviews; all about the essence of the ketogenic diet for the mind and body. Join me on my journey as I continue to explore the wonders of the ketogenic diet.

Introduction: In Memory of Mr. Spock - Vulcan Practising Bands
We have lost a great friend and mentor - Mr. Spock. He shall be remembered in galaxies far far away, as well as on Earth. But what about the people who are unable to do the Vulcan Sign? How will they survive? This is for those people who just can't separate their fingers in the right order, and who want to look stylish at the same time.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: What You Need
Very simply, you are building two copper rings that go over the pointer and middle finger and the pinkie and that other finger next to it. To do this, you need simply a wire cutter, pliers (needle nose preferred), and some electrical ground wire about a foot and a half long. I prefer the white kind as it is easier to bend.
Step 2: Show Me The... Copper?
Inside the white wire, there are two insulated wires and one bare wire. Remove the bare copper wire with the pliers.
Step 3: Shapping the Loop
Take the bare wire and cut it in half. bend the end of one piece in a 90 degree curve so it fits with the point on the outside middle of your pointer finger. Hold the wire on the side of your pointer and wrap the wire loosely around your pointer and middle finger two or three times. End the loop at the opposite side on your middle finger and cut the wire. Repeat around the other two fingers.
Step 4: Peace and Prosperity
This is the end result; two nice copper rings that go around the two sets of fingers, so when you spread then they spread just like a Vulcan's. I wish you Peace and Prosperity!
BTW, let me know if I have any errors. And yes, some of the pics are not too clear.

Simpler solution. Rubber bands.
Even simpler solution: Tape.
yea, but these are stylish and more fitting to respect a person dying than duct tape
who died
I appreciate the sentiment.
For those like me who can, there is no aid needed. I suppose this is for all the others who want to be.
I actually made this for my sister, so yes

A shed can help you solve most of your storage problems, especially when it comes to your outdoor tools. If you're looking for a place where you can do your latest woodworking projects, then a shed can help you with that, too.
According to Handyman, modular construction with inexpensive materials can make shed construction easy and cheap. So, there's really little to no reason why you should not add a shed to your home.
Here's an easy guide to building a shed:
- Get a permit.
Before you start your construction of sheds, ask the local building department whether you need a permit to build a shed. If it is, determine how close you can get to the lot lines.
- Build the foundation.
Once you've settled the legal requirements of the construction, you can start making the foundation of your shed. Dig two trenches in your chosen location. Ideally, these trenches should be 16 inches wide x 12 inches deep x 13 feet long. Then, fill the trenches with gravel until they are full.
To create the floor frame, you can use 6x6s and set them on the gravel. Make sure that they are parallel and that their outside edges are 6 feet apart. In this step, make sure that you mark the electrical wires so that nobody can accidentally dig them in the future.
- Create the walls.
Create the wall with 2x4s. Cut them according to the appropriate length. Set them apart 2 feet from one another, and attach them with a framing hammer. Do this four times to create four different frames for each side of your shed. Make adjustments on the wall for the door and windows.
- Build the roof.
Building the roof usually takes longer time. However, if you don't have much to spare, you can follow this unconventional guide.
First, cut the rafter using the set pattern shown below:
Then, saw the 2x4s for the roof's subfascia and ridge and make the rafter's position on them. Then, line the rafters and nail the subfascia and ridge to make them secure. Once you are done with the frame, line the subfascia on your platform, and use toe screw to tack them and hold the frame. Set the panel on the side while you build another one.
- Let the walls stand.
Slowly bring the wall panels you've made and place them on your platform. Align the corner of the back and side walls. Nail them against each other. Make sure that all top plates of the connected wall panels are attached securely to each other. In this part, you will need someone to help you.
- Position the roof.
Move the roof panels into a good position. Lean them on the back and front walls of the shed. With two or more helpers and a ladder, slowly push the panels upwards. Make sure that you align them with the wall's peak.
- Attach the door.
For the door, you can order a pre-hung wood door or build one yourself. The previous one will be more convenient, and it will help you save some time. You just have attached in on the front wall.
Once you have all parts in place, you can start painting the shed. If you can't take the time to build the shed yourself, you can always ask for professional help.

Creech Cougars have also had a very good start and a 7-0 hammering of Watchet Town Reserves secured a third win in four league matches. Scott Reynolds led the way with three and Simon Waugh (2) and Kurt Russel (2) completed the scoring.
The bottom two clashed and it was hosts Alcombe Rovers who cruised to victory, winning 6-2 against Stogursey.
Andrew Land (2), Grant Hodgson, Brian Hall, Lee Todd and Mikey Graddon all converted for Alcombe.
In Division 2, it's last season's four promoted teams who again occupy the top four places.
Wellington A could take some stopping this season, their 5-1 success at Middlezoy Rovers Athletic maintaining their 100 per cent start.
Jordan Sellick (2), Brad Holmans, Joey Conway and an own goal gave Wellington, who have amassed 27 goals in four league games, another convincing three points.
Wembdon Reserves are up to third after a 3-1 triumph over White Eagles.
Liam Gilbert, Joe Clark and Simon Lukins ensured back-to-back league wins for Wembdon.

After falling behind early on, Wyvern equalised through a great effort from Lloyd Alley and, not long after, Luke Desave gave them a 2-1 lead after lovely skill from Kane Walsh.
The deadly duo of Josh Carpenter and Matt Whelan on the left side provided three further goals, with the former hitting two lovely strikes to round off his man of the match performance.
Luke Lawrence and Dan Saunders capped off good individual performances with a goal each for Grasshoppers.

Connor Watts (2), Julian Fairfax (2), Jacob Shoemark (2), Aaron Larson, Ronnie Robilliard and Liam Price all helped Cannington to a 9-3 win.
After success in their opening two matches, Exmoor Rangers were brought back down to earth after being thumped 6-0 by Bridgwater Sports Reserves, who now sit fifth.

Children and cuisine: risks of the "new Patriarchate"
The women of Victorian England were almost invisible to the law. The term "male person" (male person), which denoted a full-fledged person, brought gentle ladies in corsets beyond the legal field: they were not allowed to have their income and their property, to inherit or enter into contracts. In other words, within the family, women and children were seen as helpless objects of care to be fed and protected. Yes, it is he – the classic Patriarchate, known to us from books and films. A long history, forgotten for uselessness.
"Now,of course, everything is different," you say. But I suggest you doubt it.
Let's take a couple under thirty as a model. Very young will not take, choose those who are stronger and already with some experience of relations behind. Imagine that both are at higher education, work, plans and family values. And Yes, they have a very Mature feeling, they are like-minded and want to live together and have children.

Happy 2016! I hope that everyone's 2016 is off to a good start.
This week, there has been a lot of cancer in the media and unfortunately a few famous deaths as a result of cancer. I have a friend currently fighting. My family was just made aware of someone who has just been diagnosed. Cancer sucks. Everyday lives are changed by the awful news of cancer. If the news of these deaths hit hard for you this week, or if you know someone fighting cancer that is weighing on you, I have some general insight that I have to offer:
- Do not make someones cancer journey/diagnosis about you.
- Be present as continuously as you can. Show up and be there for them.
- Pray, encourage, laugh and cry with them.
For more insight, check out my post about What Not to Say to a Cancer Patient.
I am pretty sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I don't remember what it's like to not feel these things.
Tonight, I finished week 29 of my maintenance phase of chemo/interferon. I have been dealing with a fever this week which hasn't been pleasant on top of all the other side effects.
But I'm not giving up.
If you're currently fighting: know that cancer will scar you and hurt you but don't let it kill who you are. Life is tough but so are you.
I'm still determined and still fighting everyday.
Thank You, Lord.

Here we go. The article in this morning Times of India talks about it.
With only 7% workforce in over 50 age band, clearly most organisations are focusing on the young ones. After all why waste time on those who won't be productive!
The talk about retirement age. A lot of countries don't have a retirement age. But that stands to reason at one level. Unlike India, they have an ageing population. In India, the old had to make way for the new. Repurposing the old (some handful of organisations are doing that) as a concept will take time coming.
It's what the larger population wants is what drives everything in this country. Witness the politics, vote bank focus is what drives economic policies.
We always tend to focus on the larger number because it makes sense.
I have no problem with that. After all, political parties exist to stay in power, the business of organisations is to increase profits and share value.
But this 7% is going to change in the future. It is changing already but just because the change is happening at an urban level, and when you take in to account the entire population of the country, it does look small so no one is paying attention to it.
But when the larger shift happens, as always happens in this country, we will be totally unprepared and won't know what to do.

Police seek video of robber who held up Perth supermarkets
Detectives hunting a man believed to be responsible for three armed hold-ups in Perth's northern suburbs are asking for a person who filmed one of the robberies to make contact.
All three of the armed hold-ups were caught on security cameras but detectives have so far been unable to identify the man responsible.
Police say he used a knife to rob the Glengarry IGA in Duncraig on January 21.
While the man was standing behind the counter waiting for a staff member to fill up his bag with cash a woman approached the counter and threw a bottle of soft drink at him, shouting at him as he ran out the shop.
It seems not even that was enough to put him off, police say he went back to the same supermarket a week later and robbed it for a second time.
On February 8 the bandit struck again, this time at the Woodlands' Farmer Jacks where he threatened a 16-year-old female staff member with a knife, before getting away with cash.
It was during that hold-up police say a witness pulled out their mobile phone and started recording.
Officers are trying now to track that person down and get hold of their footage.
Police say in all three robberies the man acted calmly but the same can't be said for his victims who were left in a state of shock.

And Speaker Gingrich is absolutely right! Yesterday the Speaker said "the thought of California Rep. Nancy Pelosi becoming the next leader of the House and being third in line to the presidency is frightening" he went on to say some other freighting things:
"The prospect of her bringing San Francisco values and a whole attitude on foreign policy that is, I think, an attitude of weakness and appeasement and surrender, I think, would be a disaster for the country," the outspoken Republican said.
Gingrich said keeping power out of the hands of Pelosi, the House minority leader, and other Democrats is one of the reasons he was in South Carolina this week raising money for the GOP.
On Wednesday, Gingrich was at a fundraiser for Ralph Norman, the White House's chosen opponent for U.S. Rep. John Spratt, the 5th District Democrat who is Pelosi's assistant minority leader.
To suggest that "any Democrat is for appeasement is ridiculous" and "shows how desperate the Republicans are," Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said. "We know we have a dangerous world out there," he said, but "fear-mongering is not helpful to the situation."
The former Georgia congressman said he wakes up every day worried about national security and the potential loss of U.S. cities to nuclear attacks.
"If you think, as I do, that we're in the early stages of an emerging third world war, the world is truly dangerous on a scale that I think, in a worst case, could lead to losing several American cities to nuclear weapons in our lifetime," he said.
Gingrich, who says his decision on seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 will wait until late next year, says there are plenty of reasons to worry about nuclear bombs destroying U.S. cities.
"Start with the North Korean drive to get nuclear weapons and ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles), then go to the Iranian drive to get nuclear weapons, then go to the fact that Pakistan has probably between 50 and 100 nuclear weapons with an unstable dictatorship," he said. Then, look at al-Qaida's willingness to "kill as many Americans as they can find" and Iran's recruitment of suicide bombers, he said.
"If you have active, overt enemies who are religiously different and who believe that killing you would be a good thing in their religious terms and they're willing to die in order to kill you," Gingrich said, "how hard is it to imagine a suicide bomber willing to walk in with a nuclear weapon?"
We don't really want the Democrats in charge, do we?
We all know anti-war candidate Ned Lamont beat Joe Lieberman in the primary. But look at Lamont's strategy for the war in Iraq. He's calling for a "phased pullout". A "phased pullout"? this so called "phased pullout" would send yet another signal to our enemies to simply wait us out. Osama and others of his ilk consider America impatient, lacking resolve and unwilling to sacrifice. Believe me when I tell you this action would fuel this sentiment not only to the terrorist organizations out to kill us, but to the rouge nations out there that are gradually seeing the U.S. as weak!
Remember our hasty pullout from Vietnam, and subsequent failure to abide by promises made to the South Vietnamese, result; a bloodbath in Southeast Asia that left 3 million or more dead! I've yet to hear true remorse for the forced consequences the SV suffered though from the anti-war crowd.
For insight into the Democrats brand of appeasement foreign policy, I present, Jimmy Carter. Just a few months into his presidency, he urged Americans to reconsider our "inordinate fear of communism" and kissed Leonid Brezhnev on the cheek. Soon after, Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan, Way to go!
I could run down a whole litany of Carter snafus but for yours and my sanity I'll keep it to this. It's no surprise Carter is a staunch Bush critic, funny that under his watch he helped usher in the "Iranian Revolution" of 1979 by leaning on the Shah of Iran to "release political prisoners." To show their gratitude, Iranians seized 90 hostages at the U.S. Embassy, holding 52 of them for 444 days, before releasing them minutes after Ronald Reagan took office. At the time of the hostage crisis, Carter sent what some called a believer-to-believer letter in longhand to the Ayatollah Khomeini. The letter praised the ayatollah as a "man of God"
Democratic leadership more times than not have been on the wrong side of history. When they're not taxing us to death or spending like there's no tomorrow, they're pushing unsustainable, unrealistic and unproven socialism down our throats! Oh before I hear all about Democrats hating Republican spending let me put that to rest right now. The only thing they hate about Republican spending is that it's Republicans doing the spending and not them!
The so-called Democratic Leadership recently released the six-pronged "New Direction for America" agenda for change: Real security and immediate phased pullout in Iraq; higher minimum wage; more affordable college; energy independence and lower gas prices; affordable health care; and something called "Retirement Security and Dignity," which calls for shoring up private pensions.
WOW! Notice anything missing? Not one word about North Korea. Not one word about Iran. And virtually every one of the six Democrat initiatives requires greater federal government intrusion, higher taxes and contempt for the private sector to compete and innovate. Is this their idea of "fiscal responsibility"?
Hears a question for Nancy Pelosi or any other Democrats who attack Republicans for out-of-control spending and calls for fiscal responsibility; Aside from Defense, where should government cut back? ...Crickets...
The fact is through all of our faults, miscommunication and differing ideas on a wide range of issues, the Republican Party with conservative ideas, principles and values are better equipped to fight the GWOT and move this country out of the failed social programs of the past and into the future.
We have got to do everything in our power to keep both houses. The Pelosi's, Reid's and Schumer's will continue to damage this county by promoting the liberal idea of equality. Bring this county down so we can all be equally miserable!

Conflict and Courage
Used by Satan, January 10
She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:6. CC 16.1
Having herself transgressed, she [Eve] became the agent of Satan working the ruin of her husband. In a state of strange, unnatural excitement, with her hands filled with the forbidden fruit, she sought his presence, and related all that had occurred. CC 16.2
An expression of sadness came over the face of Adam. He appeared astonished and alarmed. To the words of Eve he replied that this must be the foe against whom they had been warned; and by the divine sentence she must die. In answer she urged him to eat, repeating the words of the serpent, that they should not surely die. She reasoned that this must be true, for she felt no evidence of God's displeasure, but on the contrary realized a delicious, exhilarating influence, thrilling every faculty with new life, such, she imagined, as inspired the heavenly messengers. CC 16.3
Adam understood that his companion had transgressed the command of God, disregarded the only prohibition laid upon them as a test of their fidelity and love. There was a terrible struggle in his mind. He mourned that he had permitted Eve to wander from his side. But now the deed was done; he must be separated from her whose society had been his joy. How could he have it thus? Adam had enjoyed the companionship of God and of holy angels. He had looked upon the glory of the Creator. He understood the high destiny opened to the human race should they remain faithful to God. Yet all these blessings were lost sight of in the fear of losing that one gift which in his eyes outvalued every other. Love, gratitude, loyalty to the Creator—all were overborne by love to Eve. She was a part of himself, and he could not endure the thought of separation.... He resolved to share her fate; if she must die, he would die with her. After all, he reasoned, might not the words of the wise serpent be true? Eve was before him, as beautiful and apparently as innocent as before this act of disobedience. She expressed greater love for him than before. No sign of death appeared in her, and he decided to brave the consequences. He seized the fruit and quickly ate.13Ibid., 56, 57. CC 16.4

Two weeks have passed since the initial release of Shadows of Kings. Before I pay homage to some of the bloggers who have contributed to my Blog Tour, here are some quotes contributing to the buzz.
"Shadows of Kings has grit Martin would be proud of and magic equal to Sanderson." – Customer review.
"It has the creative elements of a Tolkien world with the more human, gritty and medieval elements of a George R.R. Martin book." – Customer review
"Do you enjoy knights with flashing swords and fair maidens with a touch of sorcery? Are stories containing battle scenes aided by magic your favorite reads? If you answered yes to the above, you'll want to read Jack Whitsel's debut novel, SHADOWS OF KINGS, where he gives you both and much more" – The Story of a Writer
"What a great start for a series! Shadows of Kings is an excellently written, impressive first novel that will be savored by fans of fantasy." – The Seattle PI

Happy Saturday (and last day of March), friends! Can you believe that tomorrow is not only the beginning of April, but also Easter Sunday? We'll be heading down to my Grams' house for a full day of celebrating because not only is it Easter (and April Fools Day), but it's also my Mom's birthday!
That's right, on April 1st, I won't say how many years ago, my Mama was born. I'm not sure, but I like to imagine that my Grandfather thought my Grandmother was playing a prank on him when she went into labor. Could you even imagine?
Today, we'll be heading out to pick up the girls' Easter outfits (I'm slacking big time this year) and maybe a few other things for our upcoming Florida trip! The girls still have no idea that we're going, so Matt and I are going to have to be a little creative in case they ask questions about why we're shopping for certain items. Heck, who am I kidding? Of course there will be questions, I'd better brace myself now!
|Our Last Florida Trip Back in 2014 (I think) It's Been TOO Long!
Our weekend will be filled with lots of excitement and celebrating. I hope your weekend is full of the same!

The Columbus Desptach
October 20, 2007
By Maura Moynihan
On Wednesday the Dalai Lama received the Congressional Gold Medal,
Congress' highest civilian honor, and China is throwing a fit. "We are
furious," the Chinese Communist Party's secretary for Tibet, Zhang
Qingli, declared. "If the Dalai Lama can receive such an award, there
must be no justice or good people in the world."
China abruptly withdrew from a summit on Iran and canceled a meeting
with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who received the Dalai Lama in
September. Beijing, which, according to The Washington Post, "solemnly
demanded" that the Bush administration cancel Washington events
planned for the Dalai Lama, is determined to punish and intimidate
anyone who might pay tribute to Tibet's Nobel laureate.
Why is the mighty People's Republic of China so petrified of this
72-year-old Buddhist monk? True, he is no ordinary scholar and
teacher; he is the living symbol of the Buddhist faith. It seems that
Beijing's cadres fear his moral authority and do not want the global
community to examine their record in Tibet, because they have a lot to
It has been 48 years since the Dalai Lama eluded capture by the
People's Liberation Army and escaped to India, whereupon Chairman Mao
Zedong began to plunder Tibet's wealth and murdered more than 1
million of its people. In the mid-1990s, the Chinese politburo
implemented the "Strike Hard Campaign," which declared Buddhism "a
disease to be eradicated."
News of major protests in Tibet has not been widely disseminated in
recent years, and the survival of Tibetan civilization has reached a
tipping point. In 2000, China launched a vast campaign called "Opening
and Development of the Western Regions" and embarked on a new phase of
subjugation. Construction of rail and road links to Tibet, such as the
Qingzang Railway, which opened last year, has accelerated Beijing's
surveillance of Tibetans and has advanced the Sinofication of the
Himalayan and Turkic peoples in China's western territories.
Exploiting Tibet's resources for the mainland's industrial base is a
strategic and economic priority for China's government, which
suppresses manifestations of Tibetan identity or nationalism with
blunt force. After a Tibetan exile from New York and a few Americans
unfurled a "Free Tibet" flag on Mount Everest this spring, Beijing
cracked down hard: Foreigners' work permits, visas and prepaid tours
were canceled, and hundreds of Tibetan officials were fired and
replaced by politburo hard-liners.
But even police-state tactics have failed to extinguish the people's
devotion to the Dalai Lama. Demonstrations have erupted across the
Tibetan plateau. Last month, for instance, electric cattle prods were
used on teenagers who had painted Dalai Lama slogans on a tavern wall.
In July, a festivalgoer in eastern Tibet who shouted, "Long live the
Dalai Lama," was dragged out by riot police. The International
Campaign for Tibet reported this week that pilgrims to Buddhist
shrines are being harassed by Chinese soldiers and that persecution of
Buddhist monks has intensified.
China is accustomed to reacting with brutality when its supremacy is
threatened, but now the state is imperiled by forces that neither
Maoist thought nor martial law can control. Rapid growth has caused
calamitous environmental damage that could lead to food shortages and
unhygienic living and working conditions, which in turn could lead to
epidemics and, eventually, chaos.
China's 1.3 billion people need solutions, not ordinances dictated by
the Communist Party's Central Committee. But Beijing, unwilling or
unable to relinquish one-party rule, clings to an obsolete worldview
that demonizes the Dalai Lama instead of engaging the statesman in a
meaningful dialogue on Tibet and China's future.
The Dalai Lama has been a refugee since 1959. He is still rea-ching
out to China's leaders in an effort to heal the wounds of the past and
move forward peacefully. This week at the Capitol, he said: "I have no
hidden agenda; I am not trying to divide China. . . . I am sincere in
my wish to work with them." Chinese President Hu Jintao would
rightfully earn international acclaim if he abandoned Stalinist cant
and listened to what the Tibetan leader has to say while there is
still time to do so.

I wanted to do something really cool with this pattern to show it's versatility. I realized I should go with my strengths and decided to refashion something, so I made these cobalt blue Hudson pants from a men's XL sweater. I love the blue and the stripes, and the sleeves had elbow pads that I reused as knee pads. I paired it with basic black ribbing. They are super cozy because they are sweater material, but they look cool enough for a little boy. If you are sewing stripes this is how to match stripes.
I made Henry a size 2 width and a size 3 height which is perfect for him.
I let Henry play with an old vintage camera for the photoshoot and got some super cute photos. He's wearing a hat crocheted by me, a mama made infinity scarf, and a mama made blazer (that I haven't blogged about yet because it was for a wedding and we're waiting to get pictures back). He would wear all of these on a normal day except for the blazer. He'd wear a more comfortable jacket instead.
This is a normal outfit for Henry: a tee, sweatshirt, casual pants, and sneakers (and a piece of garbage turned sword sitting in the snow next to him.)
He loves his pockets on both pairs and his zippers, and the ease of going to the bathroom. I love this pattern and do recommend it!
