Millions of people on the East Coast can't hear the speeches by the President, Governor, Mayor, Emergency Manager or anyone on the recovery process from Hurricane Sandy because they don't have power. The TV emergency broadcast system is useless once the emergency begins and the power is knocked out. Radio is the source of news that needs to be improved to help citizens stranded by storms. Why isn't radio better developed? It is because we have not planned to improve the information sharing process when disasters strike. We have better technology today but the tried and true methods of communicating have been neglected.
State and Local Governments need to improve their ability to communicate by radio. All the coverage of the storm does no good if people do not have the power to enable then to listen. At a minimum we need to have the coverage that is on TV simulcast on radio. CSPAN radio and National Public radio are two great examples of how radio is still a viable way of communicating important information.

Loved those photos
•Nora: Daily Press online just posted a series of black-and-white photos of Busch Gardens' early years. I was blown away! I have just shared the link to the album on my Busch Gardens history community page on Facebook called BGW Memories. My goal is to document and preserve the history of Busch Gardens Williamsburg and to reconnect people to their fond memories of the park. Whoever put that album together, my sincerest thanks. I screamed so loud when I opened the photos that my husband came running in to check on me. He found it amusing that I was squealing at pictures of the construction photos of the park. (Amused but not surprised.) Thank you so much; this has made my day.

This Question Is For The Fella's
1. Wear heels with everything when she is with her man?
2. Know how to cook the meals he likes and more?
3. Have an interest in his hobbies i.e. football, video games, golf etc.?
4. Have her own life, own friends, money etc?
5. Stay in shape, If he met you at a certain weight & size you should stay that size unless it changes due to child birth?
Please answer the question truthfully, I have either read or heard the above statements on more than once.

Question 5 should not matter because men and women both gain and lose weight over the years.... If you love me we should work together to eat healthy and stay in shape.ReplyDelete
- ChristepherJanuary 23, 2010 at 8:46 AM
No, Heels all the time are not good for the feet.ReplyDelete
Yes but she should also feel free to experiment.
Only if she likes what he likes, otherwise no.
Yes by all means. She needs a sounding board of folks she can trust.
Only if he is willing to do the same.
- ChristepherJanuary 23, 2010 at 8:51 AM
I have a question, Does a woman, in her choice for a man, want a man with a little wildness/adventure in him or does she prefer a safe man that does only what she wants? Second question is when a woman says she wants a "Good Man", will she recognize him when she see's him? This is especially if she has been saddled with "Bad Men" in past relationships.ReplyDelete

1. Wear heels with everything when she is with her man? When appropriateReplyDelete
2. Know how to cook the meals he likes and more? In many cases
3. Have an interest in his hobbies i.e. football, video games, golf etc.? Absolutely
4. Have her own life, own friends, money etc? She should be an individual but never lose sight of her relationship with her man/husband. She should never put any of these above him or allow them to influence how she regards him.
5. Stay in shape, If he met you at a certain weight & size you should stay that size unless it changes due to child birth? As long as she loves herself and knows how to carry her sex appeal it doesn't matter -- assuming she remain at a healthy weight/size. Good health equals long life and fuller life.
NOTE: In order for a woman to remain in a lasting relationship, that is healthy and fulfilling, she must first drop any attitudes or baggage from her past hurts and fully accept the man she is with. This is not to say she has to agree with him or what he does, but she has to respect him always... of leave him alone. Men leave women because they are not respected or because the woman has some unresolved issue she refuses to address.
Christepher - Your question will be answered when I flip the question to the women.....ReplyDelete

Heels are much appreciated, but not necessary all the time.ReplyDelete
Any kind of (good) cooking nowadays is appreciated. Something that he likes is a plus. But truth be told, we all work, so we both can cook for each other.
Having an interest in all his hobbies is unrealistic. But she should pick one or two that she likes and show a little more than a passing interest in it. This allows for more time spent together.
Both need to have their own friends, and their own life. No one should base their life completely around someone else. Every grown person should have their own money and be able to support themsleves. No one person should fund a relationship. Ladies, every now and then, treat your man to something nice, whether it be a dinner or a night out somewhere. Nobody likes to feel like they supporting another child.
Everyone should stay in some sort of shape. The reality is that if you looked a certain way when a man met you, that's what he is/was attracted to. Women should try to stay close to that as possible. No one really minds a little weight gain, but the trick questions ("do you think I'm getting fat?"), and comments ("my clothes are getting too tight") remind us that you have gained weight. Keep it to yourself and work on it until you feel good about it.

The Top Qualities of a Good WomanReplyDelete
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog on what it takes to be a good man. The emails came pouring in from guys asking me to post a blog on what it takes to be a good woman.
•A good woman freaks you out with her intelligence. Women have the uncanny ability to cut through the fogginess of an issue and come up with a brilliant perspective. The upside for guys is that the more you hang around smart women, like my wife, the more brainy you become.
•A good woman in the eyes of her husband is drop dead gorgeous.With such a beautiful woman on your arm, you cannot help but keep your eyes on her. There's nothing wrong with having a wife or girlfriend who's such a knock out that you often have to pinch yourself because you're so fortunate.
•A good woman is kind and compassionate to others. Though she's wise enough to see the mistakes people make that mess up their lives, a woman can still demonstrate compassion. This causes the man to live in a world where he's got to do the right thing. When my wife gets an idea of how we can help others, it may be the last thing I want to do at that moment. Yet once I'm on the scene in a convalescent home, it's an experience I'll never forget.
•A good woman has a sense of humor that takes you by surprise. To truly hear your wife's humorous side, you've got to listen. If you're reading the newspaper or checking out Monday Night Football, you'll miss out on some very funny things your wife may say.
•A good woman is a great listener. Women make great counselorssince they listen intently when someone speaks to them. At the same time, a woman should exercise the freedom to be honest with the person she's listening to. She can use her abilities to be an encourager as well as to empower others to do what they want to do in life.
•A good woman is a hard worker. I know men work hard. However, there are so many women across America who work hard all day and come home at night to a messy house and no dinner. At times you have to force a woman to relax. Take the mop out of her hand and start mopping the floor, guys.
•A good woman will share your spiritual values. You should check out any potential mate to make sure she's on the same spiritual page. There should exist a divine spark between the two of you. You sense that God brought you together, you enjoy praying with one another and reading the Scriptures is not a chore or a duty, but a joy.
•A good woman has a balance of power. She knows the power of her intelligence and does not use it to intimidate others but to share with others. She allows the man to have his power as well. Men want to be a woman's hero. That desire should not be squashed by a woman with a greater intellect and power, but encouraged and affirmed.
•A good woman always chooses a good man. She is looking for someone who is honest and has integrity. She wants to be with a man who will stay with her in both good and bad times. You don't want to be with a man who bolts once conflict arises. You should also agree on many issues, one of them being money. Savers should think twice before connecting with a wild spender.

In a couple of months I'll be celebrating my 70th birthday and I've decided to do it in a big way. I've been working on a novel for a long time now, and have sat by and watched most of my writing friends become published. While I couldn't be happier for them, I have to question myself as to why I've procrastinated as long as I have with my own work.
And then I thought…
If not now, when?
This next birthday has been haunting me, so I'm just going to go full speed ahead. This will be the year I pull out all the stops and give it all I've got. I have a four-book series in me that is dying to come out and I plan to pitch it at this year's New England Crime Bake in November.
Rosalie Chandler is a woman of a certain age. When she boards a cruise ship with her husband, Stanley, for their long-awaited cruise to Bermuda, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.
Feeling a little depressed over her fifty-something birthday, and, oh-by-the-way, that twenty or so extra pounds that seems to have crept up on her over the last few years, Rosalie is fairly certain that her life has begun to wind down. That is, until she meets six women only a few years older than her own daughters, who welcome her with open arms into their newly formed clique.
When the group decides to gather their wits and sets out to solve the mystery of a missing crew member, they, and Rosalie (dubbed, "Rosie"), by her new circle of friends, realize that she has a knack for all things investigative which makes the group look to her not only for motherly advice, but for clues and insight into the disappearance as well.
Rosie is funny, smart and heartbreakingly fragile in this story of a woman looking for her place in the world when she doesn't seem to fit anywhere, anymore.

Language is just a medium of expressing our emotions to the person we want to! Being polite costs nothing but it earns a lot! Saying or expressing our gratitude through the phrase 'Thank you' is one of many tools through which we express politeness to the person at hand.
The many ways to say thank you are as under-
1. Make a Card.
Who doesn't love handmade cards? Well, I do and almost everyone else I know does. Making a card for someone and including a personalised thank you note in it will surely bring a big smile on the face of the recipient. Try using laces, beads and colourful paper as well to make the card more creative.
2. Bake a Cake.
A thank you, cake beats everything else. Baking a cake for someone shows that you care for them. Find out their favourite cake and surprise them with one.
3. Get a beautiful jar filled with their favourite candies.
Everyone loves transparent beautiful jars with colourful candies in it. Don't you? Take different types of candies and fill the jar with it. You can use chocolate too if you want. And get personalised labels for the jars. You can make one by yourself or order them online.
4. Say it in other languages
No no! You don't have to be a linguistic expert. Just in place of saying, "Thank you," write or make a video of you telling them to thank you in different languages. But this should be used only when the the recepient of your gratitude is close to you and you have received a great favour or are really happy due to them.
We provide you with a list of 'thank you' in some common languages:
- AFRIKAANS – dankie
- ARABIC – shukran
- DUTCH – dank u
- FRENCH – merci
- GERMAN – danke
- HAWAIIAN – mahalo
- HINDI – dhanyavād
- ITALIAN – grazie
- SPANISH – gracias
5. Try writing a poem.
Write a poem! It need not be perfect but just try writing a thank-you poem. Take help of thesaurus for getting synonyms and rhyming words. Well, then write it on a nice paper with colour pencils. It will make a beautiful 'thank you' gift. The more original the better!
6. Invite them to a dinner.
Everyone loves to eat. Well yeah! Invite them to a dinner with their family. Get to know their favourite cuisines and cook them their favourite dishes or what you make the best. Knock their socks off! Culinary science to the rescue!
7. Make a video.
Sometimes, actually hearing someone say, 'Thank you' can make all the difference. Take it a step further and create a special video of thanks for your friends, family, and those special people who helped and made your day so important. It may also be used when you are not so comfortbale to say 'thank you' in person.
8. Write a hand-written letter.
In this world of Facebook, Whatsapp and Snapchat, handwritten letters are a forgotten thing. So it will be a pleasant surprise if someone gets a handwritten letter of thanks suddenly. Keep it short and precise.
9. Take them out.
Well, nothing manifests better friendly gesture than taking someone out. It mainly applies to people of your same status or age or even under. So take them out to a lunch or dinner or just to grab mere snacks! It will speak volumes.
10. Make a donation in their name.
Offering a donation in their name will be really appreciated and will spread a little bit of kindness as well. It can be money or clothes or books but at the end of the day you will feel equally serene.
11. Simple say Thank You.
Well, sometimes the simplest form of things trumps all the other. As they say in simplicity lies the key to greatness! So, go ahead and just say 'Thank you'! Period.
Thanks for subscribing to our blog and if you haven't yet please do it to get many more fun articles like that in future.

Temple Metaphysics
July 6, 2013 Comments Off on Temple Metaphysics
Our Supreme God Siva has created the Mahadevas, the Gods, to help us, to protect us, to inspire us–such as Lord Murugan, Lord Ganesha and many others. Ganesha, above all others, is the God, the great Mahadeva, to be invoked before every act and especially worshiped and prayed to when changes occur in our lives as we move from the old established patterns into new ones. Lord Ganesha is always there to steady our minds and open the proper doors as we evolve and progress. He never, ever fails. He is always there for us when we need Him. Lord Murugan was created by God Siva's shakti and given a vel of spiritual discernment, a lance of divine intelligence. Pray to Lord Murugan to unravel the great mysteries of the universe. Pray to Lord Murugan to make you a spiritual person. Pray to Lord Murugan to release you into the arms of Lord Siva by teaching you more about your Saivite religion.
The understanding of the reality of God and the Gods may help you to appreciate the importance of prayer and worship. Take, for instance, our hymns and chants–our Devarams and bhajanas, our japa and the many other ways we express the praises and love of God Siva that we feel in our hearts. These hymns are actually heard by the subtle beings. Devas in the Second World come, hover around and near us and rejoice in our singing. If we are deeply devoted and inspired, then even the Mahadevas of the Third World will hover above the devas in their magnificent bodies of light, showering blessings to those who are singing or chanting prayerfully.
You may not be able to see these subtle beings, but you can feel their presence, feel a holy atmosphere around you. I'm sure that many of you here have felt this, perhaps while chanting Aum Namah Sivaya. As long as somebody is saying "Aum Namah Sivaya," the Saivite religion exists on the planet in full force. Wake up in the morning saying "Aum Namah Sivaya, Aum Namah Sivaya." Go to sleep at night saying "Aum Namah Sivaya, Aum Namah Sivaya," and through the night you will leave your physical body and travel in the celestial spheres, where we are all together, learning, meditating and advancing ourselves spiritually.
On this Earth plane the Gods have a special home, and that is the holy temple. It is in the sanctified temple, where regular and proper puja is being performed in a pure way, that the Gods most easily manifest. You can go to a Hindu temple with your mind filled up with worries, you can be in a state of jealousy and anger, and leave the temple wondering what you were disturbed about, completely free from the mental burdens and feeling secure. So great are the divine psychiatrists, the Gods of our religion, who live in the Third World, who come from the Third World to this world where our priests perform the pujas and invoke their presence over the stone image.
Hindus do not worship stone images. Don't let anyone ever convince you of that. It is absolutely false. Those who say such things simply do not understand the mystical workings of the temple, or they seek to ridicule our religion because they feel insecure about their own. Hindu priests invoke the Gods to come and manifest for a few minutes within the sanctum of the temple. The Deities do come in their subtle bodies of light. They hover in and above the stone image and bless the people. If you are psychic and your third eye is open, you can see the God there and have His personal darshana. Many of our ancient Saivite saints, as well as contemporary devotees, have seen such visions of the Gods. They know from personal experience that God and the Gods do exist.
When we go to the temple, we leave with our mind filled with the shakti of the Deity. We are filled and thrilled with the shakti of the temple in every nerve current of our body. When we return to our home, we light an oil lamp, and that brings the power of the temple into the home. This simple act brings the devas in the Second World right into your home, where they can bless the rest of the family who perhaps did not go to the temple. With a little bit of study of the mysticism of Saivism, we can easily understand how the unseen worlds operate in and through us.
(Lesson 312 from Living with Siva , from Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami)

Good and evil. North and South. Man and woman. Night and day. Zeros and ones. Black and white. True and false.
Right and wrong.
She liked to classify things. Divide them up, sort them out. For every selfless thing she did, there would be another act of complete self benefit. So on the new year's eve of 2015, she told herself that this year, she would look for the good in everything she did, and in everything that happened to her. Her new year resolution was to evaluate, and balance it out. As is always said, 'Naap tol kiya kya?'
Winter : Her first step towards becoming a better human being had begun. Becoming a vegetarian , contrary to belief is not a very easy thing. It's not just meat and no meat, it's almost like a break up. Everyone who has ever tried to quit chicken will have experienced this feeling and as most of us do during break ups, she had eaten more meat in January 2015 than she had in the whole of 2014.
This winter was about making new friends. She was always known to be cordial. But this time around, every new person was examined ruthlessly. There could be no lapse of judgement. She had decided to surround herself with only those who inspired her, but also would not be bad for her ego. By the end of February, she was a meat-eating maniac who sat alone during lunch breaks.
Summer : A global foundation was recruiting. Word was everywhere, and she decided to apply, just to see what it would be like. She always got away with these personality-based interviews, and it helped that everybody always talked about how charming she was. But what followed, was strenuous , interviews and vivas that made her doubt herself , and the month of March ended leaving her in a shell, never wanting to charm anyone ever again.
April was a no-brainer. An ex showed up with a shiny new thing in 4′ heels and an interview showed up, for an intern-ship that came with a shiny six figure salary. She swept both under the rug, quite casually. Surprised at her ability to maintain her calm, she moved on to May.
May came with good news. She had been accepted into the global foundation and soon discovered that she would be travelling all over the world. The intern-ship had come through as well, and she was quite happy with herself.
Monsoon : June, July – the monsoon months. This season always brought bad news and everyone was always so depressed around this time. And teenagers don't have to be taught how to kill time in bad weather. When August hit her, she looked back over the last two months, only to see lots of parties, alcohol, friends and an unbelievable amount of time that had gone to waste. Little did she know August would come with consequences.
Autumn : She didn't realise the domino effect in the beginning, none of us do. She woke up one day to read a 'warning' e-mail from the global foundation, saying she wasn't putting the required effort. A few days later, her manager was calling to say they didn't need an intern any more. Her mother was falling ill far too often, and her exams were around the corner.
The next three months were recovery mode.
By the time December hit her, she had lost count of everything she planned to do in January. When there was a week left for new year's 2016, she felt like she had wasted yet another year of her life. She sat down with a notepad and a pencil, to evaluate herself, and her past year. And she would continue to do this, year after year, and unfortunately, no spring or monsoon would ever be good enough.
That's the thing with ambition. The hunger never stops. The wants never end. In a way that is amazing, but from personal experience, when you become the girl with the notepad, it is essential to evaluate your work, not your emotions.
Our protagonist, is a global citizen, is going to travel to some truly beautiful countries, has a decent intern-ship, fun-loving friends and a caring family. Most people would kill for this kind of life. But since she does not realise it, does it even matter?
Hence the title in the binary. Hence the whole 'stop looking at life in zeros and ones' theory. Because we all know there is more to life than that. No matter what your ambition is, no matter how much you evaluate and plan, we all have the same place to go in life.
It's simple.The one thing that would help all of us, is to do these evaluations in June. So, even if you feel let down, you have another six months to cover up for yourself. All in all, the trick is to keep looking ahead, and even if you do look back, the only thing you should be thinking is, 'Man, I kicked this year's ass!'
The end.
P.S : Dearest Reader,
Happy 2016. Thank you for all the love in 2015 and let's have a great year.
Hugs, Ashi. 🙂

Last night I was waiting at an outside bar on the south side of Dallas to meet two women from a magazine I sometimes write for in New York. The joint is called Lee Harvey's, and it's a ramshackle collection of picnic tables, gravel, beer, mixed music, dogs, and casually dressed patrons just off Akard Street south of I-30. Some of the patrons were quite casually dressed indeed. One woman in a spaghetti-strap tank top offered us more than a little of what comedian Dawn French once termed an "astonishing bosom." But that's Dallas.
A 2006 poll of Dallas Observer readers named Lee Harvey's the best place in Dallas to "pick up some tail." Sundays the music is run by DJ Sistah Whitenoise, according the the bar's Web site. I was pretty anxious going in. I'm not accustomed to scenes where one picks up tail. But the dogs were fun. A woman with an ordinary bosom tossed a filthy tennis ball for a pair of rambunctious standard poodles; a badly behaved mutt jumped on a picnic table a little before the patrons seated there were done with their onion rings.
I'd never met my dinner dates, having only spoken to them on the phone. They were here in Texas to get a sense of the regional art scene. Also to get out of New York for a couple of weeks. Sipping a Shiner Bock, I started getting concerned that I'd not recognize them when they arrived.
But I did. It wasn't only the shoes -- hair, blouses, posture, gait all gave them away -- but the shoes alone were enough to tag 'em. Not Manolo Blahniks, but not Dallas either. Really not Dallas. Introductions complete, we got more beer (well, one of us got a Shirley Temple because she's pregnant.) and studied the menu. Burger, salad, onion rings (said to be the best in Dallas, but they weren't), two chicken panini sandwiches. An adorable mutt who could have been the model for that asshole Rodrigue's "Blue Dog" pictures begged impertinently and futilely for my sandwich.
Conversation ranged from Dallas galleries to the Kiefer winged book in Fort Worth to their itinerary across Texas. They plan to finish up at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa. I raved about the Judd aluminum boxes and about the Flavins. Probably I got pretty boring, but that's me.
Talk turned to the name of the bar. Yes, I said, I was here when JFK was killed. I was 12 and really too young to process what had happened, but still naming a bar after the killer is a mistake. Even if it's a very friendly place with cute dogs and lovely women. I still remember my mother lying face down on the bed sobbing that terrible afternoon.
Today my dinner companions drove to Houston. I stayed in Commerce.

Welcome to the Modern Typewriter, a daily blog to discuss topics that can't be answered easily, or are just some fun topics! Today is January 3rd, 2008, I'm Rochester, and I am here to discuss the topic of the famous ship, the Lusitania.
Most people know that the Lusitania was a passenger liner for Cunard Line, a shipping line in the early 1900's. But this famous ship was torpedoed and it sank in 18 minutes flat. More than 3/4 of the people aboard died.
So why are we talking about the Lusitania? Well, it was an important event in World War 1. This turned most of the countries against Germany, the country that torpedoed the ship.
Now, the German Embassy in the United States had warned the liners who bared a British flag might be a part of destruction. But this did not stop the Lusitania.
Above is a drawing of what the Lusitania might have looked like when sinking.
Remember, I'm Rochester, and this is the Modern Typewriter, OUT!

Oh, and I love feedback! Please tell me what you think of my work.
By Daffnie (email@example.com)
I have never felt so elated. I want to stop time so I could spend eternity with you. To have you with me always and forever would be the best thing I could ever receive. I want to recreate that moment of bliss, that moment of passion between us. It was the most phenomenal time of my life, and I would give anything to bring it back. But for now, I will have to settle with what I have...but what I have is still wonderful. I keep the memories with me, never letting them slip completely from my mind (even in sleep), never letting you creep out of my thoughts. When we made love, I instantly felt like I was a part of you, and you of me. My body on yours, feeling the heat radiate from you, feeling your fingers run along my skin. It was as if we were one mind, one soul all moving in sync, all able to blend into each other. We were meant for one another, just as birds were destined to sing and flowers destined to bloom.
But all things are destined to die as well.
And is that what you want? Is that what you wish for in our relationship? It seems like it. I talk to you; you speak the most minimal of words back to me. I smile at you; you just stare like you're looking at nothing. I touch you; you turn away. It hurts me, Kathryn. Why can't we have that time of pleasure back? Don't you want to experience it again? Or perhaps you want to push it all away, like you do with everything, everybody else. Did you even want it in the first place? Was everything, was your love, all an act?
Damn you if it was.
You said you loved me. I asked you to say that again, and you did. You made me happy, but I don't think those times will ever be back.
I was broken when you said goodbye. You left me for your solitude. You were scared, and I try to understand, but I can't. You told me I would never be able to understand you, but I believe I do...more than you think.
Kathryn, I'll be happy if I can kiss just you one last time. I'll be happy if you tell me you love me.
Say that again.

Differences in sex communication have been an issue in personal groups for an extended time. Reasons to correspondence, especially in the current time, can not be overemphasized. In each and every environment of culture, people today correspond differently. The Shocking Truth About Essay Writing Services The variations in correspondence involving sexes are based on making use of dialect, tuning in competencies, along with the usage of actions. When making use of motions, as an example, a lot of women aim to build sentimental acquaintances by smiling or nodding. Fellas, alternatively, want to make nominal face expressions or hands expressions when communicating. Learning the numerous ways people today interact will be helpful in steering clear of situations which can be caused by misinterpretation of conversations. Variations in gender communications are caused by disparities in the employment of actions, paying attention expertise, and also the over-all cultural perspectives of each and every sex.
Differences in sex communicating have generated disputes in a lot of community configuration settings, specifically marriages, romantic relationships, and friendships. Practically in most problems, fellas relate in such a way that might be interpreted as rude or chauvinistic. Yet, it is actually common for men to utilise assertive, authoritative, and aggressive tongue in communications. Research shows fellas love to use demanding vernacular because of their all natural need to talk about their standing up in contemporary society, as well as their social rank. Having said that, it can be a several case with women mainly because they have a unique method in the employment of dialect. Gals often use foreign language in submissive, motivated, along with timid tones. When communicating, adult females generally develop emotionally charged connections between them plus the other social gatherings. On this page, someone may also use soft dialect or bring up very similar events for this reason rendering the mental communications. Guys, on the flip side, would rather give truthful experiences on all matters with no reverence to regardless of whether such issues may demand psychological responses. It will always be hard for a man to signify affiliations to emotionally charged illnesses. For that reason, situations are inescapable every time a dude and also a lady converse, primarily when using emotionally charged question. Despite the fact adult males will possibly not recognize the significance of emotional devices in contact, they possibility the thought of simply being insensitive and using feel.
In scenarios just where motions are used in interaction, women tend to be associated than their men counterparts. As an example ,, if your individual and also a lady meet with an psychologically stressed out man, their non-oral engagement is expected to always be distinctive. The female can be short to grab the psychological and mental beginning to feel of the individual and hook up to it, that is why making the sufferer feel better and liked. Many of the actions which might be utilized by the female to help make the sentimental association incorporate: smiling and nodding. Having said that, it may be distinctive with regards to the guy given that expressions like smiling probably are not applied. In summary, variations in correspondence somewhere between genders show up for the reason that males and females listen and workout vernacular uniquely. Additionally, men and women use diverse gestures when responding to related scenarios. Vocabulary use can be a element of conversations given that it makes sure that the message successfully passed is fully understood. Fellas, as an example, like to use assertive and authoritative vocabulary versus ladies that want very soft and shy hues. When conveying working with gestures, girls endeavor to confirm psychological associations by nodding or smiling whereas men of all ages use nominal skin expressions.

sacrifices and blessings
With Thanksgiving comes the realization of all the things we've been blessed with. In our adoption we have been blessed by Dustin's job enough that we have not had to fundraise to cover the costs and have been able to donate to others who are adopting. That has really made me feel guilty as I read stories of other families scrimping, saving, and working diligently on fundraisers. Then my husband reminded me that we have already sacrificed. We sacrificed for two years living in a tiny 2 bedroom 900 sq ft house in the ghetto with our family of four. All that time Dustin was able to get rid of our debt and save and we bought a house. A house big enough to add more people to our family. At the time we didn't even know it. God had this plan worked out for us to scrimp and save for a child we never knew we were going to adopt. So now I am feeling less guilty about not having to do so much.
We have talked here and there about helping other adopting families and what we can do for them. Tonight God hooked us up with another amazing couple. Two weeks ago at our Perspectives meeting we met a couple who have been to Ethiopia on a mission trip and still keep in close contact with people there. It was amazing to hear their stories. Tonight at another Perspectives meeting there was a couple who, in the car ride over, were talking about adopting from China or Ethiopia. They have already adopted domestically and are thinking of adopting internationally now. They mentioned setting up a foundation of sorts to help local adopting families who would love to adopt but simply cannot finance it. Dustin mentioned to him that instead of us adopting more children that maybe we should be involved where we help more children by helping more families adopt. I have been pressing Dustin about adopting either siblings or two unrelated children this time around. Yes we would have to change some things, again, but it would be cheaper for us to do it now than to decide down the road we want to adopt again. Plus I think it would be so nice to have an even number. Two koreans and two Ethiopians would make for a nice balance in children :) Anyway, God is talking to us through some different people right now. It will be interesting to see where He takes us.
For anyone who happens to be in closer contact with me than just reading my blog I want to apologize if I go into "adoption mode". Dustin has brought it to my attention that I may be a little over the top with my adoption talk. So unless you REALLY want to know about our adoption, about adoption in general or what is going on around the world with orphans you may not want to ask me about it. If you have already had that interaction with me know that I am just very excited and passionate about it and want to educate people about it. I have found that the general public doesn't really know that much about adoption or the poverty and the atrocities going on in other parts of the world. I certainly am no expert in any of this but God really has broken my heart for these people, for these children and sometimes the words literally fall out of my mouth. I just can't help it. So again I apologize and please let me know if I am going on and on and on when I'm talking to you. Just do a quick change of subject, you don't even have to be polite about it. I will understand what you mean.
Thanks for reading and keep praying. Pray for our hearts, pray for ALL those families waiting (in whatever stage they're in) and pray for ALL those children who are going to bed hungry, cold and alone tonight.

great blog post! I just wish we lived closer so that we could go into "adoption mode" together over coffee once a week!
I'm soo glad to be on this journey with other crazy people like us. Clearly God is moving in an amazing way. What an honor to be a part of it!

But somewhere along the way she misplaced it. Goodnight Rhonda Lee is the story of Nicole finding her voice, and how, in doing so, she went a little crazy.Great Art is born of struggle and Nicole was struggling. The problem was that she felt nothing. Her fans responded to her performances with the same fervor they always had, but Nicole felt nothing. Her new husband loved her and doted on her, but she felt nothing. She traced it back to her drinking and decided to try to learn to live without booze. But that first day of sobriety brought with it an unexpected additional test -- Nicole's dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. This Jersey girl, whose big voice was tethered to a big heart, and whose reaction to the mundane setbacks of everyday life had always been equally overblown, suddenly faced a real problem. "It toughened me up," she says.And the songs started to come. Little bursts of therapeutic creativity. Thorny feelings transubstantiated into melodies. Beginning with "Listen Up," a wake-up call to a lucky girl who hadn't realized how lucky she'd been, Nicole started to find her redemption in these songs. They rang true in a way no songs ever had before. They came from a deep, vulnerable place. If Nicole had been living an unexamined life, she wasn't anymore.She needed her newfound toughness though, as in the midst of all this turmoil, she prepared to move from her native Asbury Park to Nashville. Having spent more than a decade as the de facto queen of Asbury, Nicole was finally leaving the warm, but often stifling confines of her hometown. During one of her final nights before the exodus, a song came to her in a dream. "I Love Living Here Even When I Don't" summed up the complicated feelings she experienced as she said goodbye to the only real home she'd ever known.In Nashville, Nicole's once hectic life was very different. Left home alone as her tour manager husband plied his trade out on the road, Nicole found herself writing songs that examined "feelings of separation and being scared of new surroundings." In particular, the songs "Sleepwalking" and "Darkness Falls" echo like ghosts through an empty house.Unsurprisingly, her sobriety faltered. She drifted in and out of it. Nicole knew the wagon was good for her, but she had a hard time staying focused on what was good for her. As it went on however, the clarity of those sober days started to shine through. And she was able to string them together in longer stretches. For the first time, she was able to offer a shoulder for others to lean on, rather than always being the one in need of a shoulder. It helped that she had to be strong for herself in order to be strong for her dad. Much of what she was feeling was painful, but it beat the hell out of feeling nothing.She reconnected with her old friend Chris Isaak who encouraged her, in the midst of all the soul-searching and soul-baring, to write songs that emphasized the one trait that most sets her apart from the mere mortals of the industry, telling her, "Atkins, you have a very special thing in your voice that a lot of people can't or don't do. You need to stop shying away from that thing and let people hear it." To that end, the two of them collaborated on Goodnight Rhonda Lee's standout track, the instant classic, "A Little Crazy."Great Art is a journey -- and Nicole Atkins traveled quite a distance to bring us Goodnight Rhonda Lee. As Nicole explains it, "This record came to me at a time of deep transition. Some days were good, some not so good. What I did gain, though, from starting to make some changes and going inward, and putting it out on the table, was a joy in what I do again. Joy in the process and a newfound confidence that I don't think I've ever had until now. The album title, Goodnight Rhonda Lee, also came from those feelings. Rhonda Lee was kind of my alias for bad behavior, and it was time to put that persona to bed."The direction in which these songs were headed was obvious. Nicole's voice had always recalled a classic vinyl collection. She is the heir to the legacy of "Roy Orbison, Lee Hazelwood, Sinatra, Aretha, Carole King, Candi Staton." She is untethered to decade or movement or the whim of the hipster elite.In order to capture the timelessness she sought, Nicole enlisted a modern day Wrecking Crew: Niles City Sound in Fort Worth, TX, who had just risen to national acclaim as Leon Bridges' secret weapon. "We spoke the same language. We wanted to make something classic, something that had an atmosphere and a mood of romance and triumph and strength and soul." The album was recorded in five days, live to tape. The album that Nicole and the boys came up with in those five days, Goodnight Rhonda Lee, is nothing less than Great Art and a quantum leap forward for Nicole Atkins who, no matter how much she grows up, will always be a little crazy.

This past weekend I had the honor of meeting the author Eloise Greenfield. Many people might not know her work and her name may not be considered mainstream, but in my opinion her work and contributions to children and society as a whole are right up there with Maya Angelou, Jane Austen, and Toni Morrison.
Eloise was at Sankofa Café in Washington, DC for the Eloise Greenfield Tribute they are hosting all month. On Sunday afternoons, Sankofa has reading sessions for children where student volunteers read to kids and have them participate in activities to make the stories come alive.
Before the rest of the children arrived, Eloise, her daughter, a mother of one of the kids, the student volunteer, and myself chatted for a little while. She is soft-spoken and somewhat shy, but carries a lot of wisdom. We asked her how and when she started writing. She said she was in her late 20s when she started and the only time she wrote before then was when her teacher told her to. She continued to explain that while she was working at a Patent Office typing the same words over and over, she picked up a book about how to write. She then started writing little rhymes and enjoyed moving words around. She commented on how difficult it was for her and other parents to find books for their children. So, she then decided to make it her mission to provide books and poems that depicted African-American children and families in a positive and loving light. As the conversation progressed, we shifted to talking about how difficult it is to find good quality books, films, and music that don't depict the negative stereotypes of African-Americans. Eloise commented that the reason why there is little quality being produced is not because no one is doing anything. Funding and support are the main reasons. She said that if she had not learned about rejection when she started writing, she probably would not be here now with all these books.
This particular Sunday, the children read For the love of the game: Michael Jordan and Me and The Friendly Four – both by Greenfield. She and her daughter watched and applauded after each skit. It was amusing to watch them because they both looked so cute. They could pass for twins if their hair and age were the same. After the session was over, the children, their mothers, and the volunteer student took pictures with Eloise and gave her a big hug.
My mother read a lot of Eloise's books to me when I was younger. My two favorites were My Doll Keshia and My Daddy and I. I enjoyed them as books then and I appreciate them even more now. I don't think the impact she has made on children and their love for reading has been fully recognized. Her books and poems have given African-American children of all "neighborhoods" the opportunity to experience stories with words and illustrations they can relate to and aspire to. If you have kids or younger siblings, you definitely need to read Eloise Greenfield's books to them.

Newsletter in a Nutshell | September 19, 2013September 20, 2013
Today I stopped in Mrs. Lewis's 6th grade classroom as a student was presenting his research on Sweden. He was very proud of his work, and the students listening were engaged in the lesson. I learned about the seasons in Sweden, as well as the population and language. Intriguing! I also stopped in Mrs. Neuberger's class as students presented their tall tales. They began by writing a narrative, and working through the writing process. Finally, they presented to the class. The students used creative costuming, props, and voices in their presentation. We have some very imaginative students in 5th grade.
Last evening I was having dinner with some old friends. In our conversation, they asked if I had to do it all over again, would I send my children to Holy Cross. I immediately said yes, and proceed to give several reasons for my decision. Today, the following happened at Holy Cross. This could have been my answer to the question from my friend.
A third grade student fell at recess today. As we attended to the student, Mrs. Beisser took the other students back to class. Mrs. Beisser told me the third grade students were concerned about their classmate, so they decided to pray. One of the students led the class in a Hail Mary, and then they offered a special intention. They even wanted to start making cards. In the end, the fallen student was fine and she returned to class. The 3rd graders gave her a round of applause.
Thank you for your support in the trash bag sales. The top sellers will be announced at our PTO Potluck dinner Thursday evening at 5:30 in Pflumm Hall. Dinner and awards will be over by 7:00 p.m. in time for you to get home to watch the Chiefs. Please join us for this fun event sponsored by the PTO.
Have a wonderful weekend.
God bless,

WEST HOLLYWOOD (AP) — A shopper offering to pay for the food a homeless man was attempting to steal was attacked with a hatchet at a West Hollywood 7-Eleven.
The Los Angeles Times reports the transient man became upset and refused the shopper's offer on Saturday morning.
Officials with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department say a brief struggle ensued, and the man pulled out a small double-edged hatchet concealed in his clothing to strike the shopper.
The victim was hit several times on the head crushing part of his skull, and his hand was severely cut. The victim was hospitalized but is reported to be in stable condition.
Police were continuing to search for the attacker who fled the scene, but they know his identity.

Ex-LAPD Detective Speaks in B.I.G. Case
Ex-LAPD Detective Speaks in B.I.G. Case – Yahoo! News
Like any generation of Americans mine has its share of music stars cut down in their prime. Previous generations had Jimi Hendrix, Mama Cass, John Lennon, etc and we have Kurt Cobain, Tupac, and (relevant to this post) The Notorious B.I.G.
It's no big secret that the LAPD has officially shrugged in response to the matter of who killed the BIG, but this article on the wrongful death lawsuit filed by BIG's family exposes some facts that seem like they should have come out years ago.
A retired LAPD detective who spent two years investigating the homicide testified today that he felt they had enough evidence to arrest "Suge" Knight.
Consider this: In most states a person who gets busted driving under the influence on multiple occasions gets their license revoked along with some jail time. The system identifies where the offender's problem is coming from and attempts to remove it from their life so they can either A) recover, or B) at least stop hurting people. Suge's been sent to prison multiple times, and in each case it had something to do with his life in the music business. Granted there are no laws to back this up, but wouldn't it make sense to somehow ban this 6 foot 2 inch 320 pound behemoth from the music industry?

| Wayne,
The function of the thermostat is to cause a more uniform heating of the engine block. The 160 degree thermostat that you are using is set to gradually open probrably somewhere about 140 deg. until it is full open at 160 deg.
If you are running in the 175-185 degree range I wouldnt change a thing, your fine.
p.s......Maybe someone else can give you a more detailed answer to this, I've answered my quota for the week. I dont want to get chewed out.

Each game day AL.com will feature a question and answer with an Auburn player or coach. This week's Q&A is with starting quarterback Jarrett Stidham ahead of his Auburn debut.
Q: After all this preparation, how fun is it to finally have it be game week?
"Oh, finally. I know just for me personally, it's been a long time -- about 21, 22 months for me personally. For the team, we've been working hard since January, right after the bowl game. It's finally here, and everybody's excited and kind of jacked up and ready to go."
Q: Did it seem longer for you?
"Yeah. Especially with like the rule change and everything where we can start earlier and all that -- I think that's the rule -- it has felt pretty long. But, like I said, we're excited to finally be in game week."
Q: How different is it once you start narrowing down the playbook and focusing on one opponent?
"Yeah, it's a lot of fun, because now you're actually looking at a specific defense. You're not going against the same one every single day for the last three or four weeks. So it's nice to start looking at another team, kind of break down what they do, trying to execute against it. It's a lot of fun."
Stidham explains his pre-gameday ritual
Q: Do you have family coming to the game?
"Oh, I got a lot. Too many to count, that's for sure, but I got a few."
Q: It's been a long wait for them, too, right?
"It's been, yes sir, it's been an extremely long wait. We're excited to finally be here at Auburn and finally get to this game week."
Q: Do you feel the offense is ready to go?
"I think everybody's ready. We've been going against each other even all the way back to spring ball. We're excited to get out there against another team and see what we can do."
Q: What have you seen from Georgia Southern's defense?
"Yeah, no, they're, uh -- they have a really good defense. We respect the heck out of them. They obviously have had a lot of success in the past, so we're excited to go against them. Our receiving corps, they've been working really hard so I think it'll be a good matchup. Like I said, we're just ready to get out there and play."

POV – Bilbo/Frodo
In which Gilda and Bilbo dance, Bargo is told he is not the dearest to Frodo's heart, and the boys have a very hot time.
The family starts to behave badly and things get interesting.
Bilbo has a lot more baggage than Frodo. There's some mention of his younger years and how he might have behaved at the Wintermarks of his youth. Then he has to talk to Gilda. The shock of Frodo's accusations combined with Sara's confession has had four days to percolate, and Gilda has a few things to say to her Beggar.
Meanwhile, Frodo continues to negotiate his relationships with his cousins and former childhood friends. We have a digressions into cultural views of sexuality, and then have a hint of a rapprochement between Frodo and Sara.
For people who read On Merry Yule when it was posted to HASA, there is one significant edit to the chapter, which is the conversation between Seredic, Sara, Mac and Frodo near the fire tower. In the original, Seredic's wife, Hilda, is to give birth in a few days. The timing has been changed due to a mistake on my part years ago when setting the date for the events. I had miscalculated my years.

SALEM, Ore. (7/11/13)--The Oregon Legislature adjourned Monday, putting an end to the consideration of bills that would tax credit unions, said the Northwest Credit Union Association.
During the legislative session, the Oregon Bankers Association put together a targeted anti-credit union effort, based on the work done by an anti-credit union task force established last summer, said NWCUA (The Anthem July 9).
The bank lobby supported three anti-credit union bills --HB2484, 2485, and 2486--aimed at taxing many credit unions and implementing new burdensome regulations. Not one of the bills received a hearing in the legislature, even after some editorials called for at least a hearing, NWCUA said.
"We just finished our long session, and all the bills that didn't make it are considered dead," Pamela Leavitt, NWCUA legislative policy adviser for Oregon advocacy and grassroots, told News Now. Those bills would have to be reintroduced in the state legislature's February short session, which lasts 35 days, Leavitt noted, adding she is unaware of any bankers' plans.
"We not only defeated [the bills], we feel we were very successful in defending credit unions," Leavitt said. "We will continue to be prepared to confront taxation and any regulatory bills."
NWCUA will continue to talk to the state legislature, she added. "We have a very progressive advocacy agenda," she explained. "We will continue to meet with legislators and talk to them about the value of the credit union charter."
The 2013 session will be considered one of the most successful in history for credit unions, NWCUA said.
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber on June 24 signed SB520, a bill to update the Oregon Credit Union Act. The NWCUA-backed bill was the result of recommendations by the Oregon State Model Act Subcommittee, chaired by Scott Burgess, president/CEO of Rivermark Community CU in Beaverton, and will make several changes to the Oregon Credit Union Act. The changes will take effect Jan.1.

Can't Wait for Books of 2013 – March
With so many exciting books coming out this year, the felines thought it would be fun to do a monthly post showcasing titles that they are anxious to get their paws on. Here are their picks for this month. 🐱
Sara's Choice – With All My Soul (Soul Screamers #7) by Rachel Vincent
Expected publication: March 19th 2013 by Harlequin Teen
Goodreads Description:
What does it mean when your school is voted the most dangerous in America?
It's time to kick some hellion butt…
After not really surviving her junior year (after all, she did die), Kaylee Cavanaugh has vowed to take back her school from the hellions causing all the trouble. She's going to the find a way to turn the incarnations of Avarice, Envy and Vanity and the rest on each other.

Willow's Choice – Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson #7) by Patricia Briggs
Expected publication: March 5th 2013 by Orbit
Goodreads Description:
Shapeshifter Mercy Thompson's life is calming down, at least enough that she can focus on mundane matters like Black Friday sales. But on her return, Mercy is unable to contact her mate, Alpha Adam Hauptman, or the other members of their pack. All she knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam's disappearance may be related – and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from the most unlikely of allies: the vampire seethe.
Buggy's Choice – Fever by Mary Beth Keane
Expected publication: March 12th 2013 by Scribner
Goodreads Description:
A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary," the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the early twentieth century—by an award-winning writer chosen as one of "5 Under 35" by the National Book Foundation. Mary Mallon was a courageous, headstrong Irish immigrant woman who bravely came to America alone, fought hard to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic service ladder, and discovered in herself an uncanny, and coveted, talent for cooking. Working in the kitchens of the upper class, she left a trail of disease in her wake, until one enterprising and ruthless "medical engineer" proposed the inconceivable notion of the "asymptomatic carrier"—and from then on Mary Mallon was a hunted woman.
In order to keep New York's citizens safe from Mallon, the Department of Health sent her to North Brother Island where she was kept in isolation from 1907-1910. She was released under the condition that she never work as a cook again. Yet for Mary—spoiled by her status and income and genuinely passionate about cooking—most domestic and factory jobs were heinous. She defied the edict.
Bringing early twentieth-century New York alive—the neighborhoods, the bars, the park being carved out of upper Manhattan, the emerging skyscrapers, the boat traffic—Fever is as fiercely compelling as Typhoid Mary herself, an ambitious retelling of a forgotten life. In the hands of Mary Beth Keane, Mary Mallon becomes an extraordinarily dramatic, vexing, sympathetic, uncompromising, and unforgettable character.
