Hiya….I am back to post some more layouts that I completed over at Life Preservers. They are so much fun and did I mention that they also had a wonderful kit club. This weekend, some of the LP girls got to meet up in Kentucky for a wonderful retreat. Well….the ones that were left behind (like a kitten on a door step) were given the chance to have an unofficial crop with challenges, games, and prizes. I did not get to complete all the challenges (of course, those of you who know me, know that I am slow as molasses at creating layouts) but I had loads of fun and got a couple pages done.
This was from my challenge….you had to create a layout using food or beverages. I created this 6×12 layout for my "about me" album in which all the layouts will be this 6×12 size cause I love how funky it looks……and yes, they have albums in that size. They got real creative over there and made layouts about Christmas morning cinn rolls and Easter eggs!!
This was my layout from a "shape" challenge where you had to use any shape repeatedly on your layout. Just so happens, I got this kit from a friend of mine (hi Bekah) at the scrapbooking yard sale yesterday so it was perfect for this challenge and perfect for these pictures I took of Phoenix and Spirit sleeping together.
This challenge was called Get 'Er Done…and challenged you to complete those layouts that you started but had never finished. This was a technique that one of the ladies over at Life Preservers taught (yes, they even have a classroom where you can learn some fun stuff….for FREE). I had created the page and had set it aside. So with this challenge, I finished it up using those yummy Tim Holtz goodies.
Thanks for taking a look and have a wonderful week. Sharon

That. Is. Awesome.ReplyDelete
She's adorable.ReplyDelete
I'm a full-grown adult male and I want one of these. I have no doubt these would make my winter entirely more bearable.
I'm sure you'd look handsome in it!ReplyDelete

I love your hats! I have been searching for a pattern for a fleece viking hat for my son's elementary school club. They are the Vikings! Do you sell the pattern? I have yet to find a cute one that we can put together for about 30 kids. Would you please email me?ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!! Adorable
i really need a pattern for this. my daughter is having a "how to train your dragon" birthday part nov 19th and i want these for the kids.ReplyDelete
I didn't really write a pattern, but if you can make a basic fleece hat (and patterns for that abound on the Internet), then you can make this. Just sew a contrasting strip down the top and attach horns. I can send you more detailed directions if you want to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
We are truly thankful for your blog entry. You will discover a great deal of methodologies in the wake of going to your post. I was precisely scanning for. A debt of gratitude is in order for such post and please keep it up. http://ampleom.postagon.com/79y3y8aygReplyDelete

Take Off The Mask.
The Creator Writings
transcribed by Jennifer Farley,
January 6, 2017
Each of you, at some point or another, has hidden parts of yourself in fear of being judged.
They may have been parts that you like very much, but felt others would not understand them. In the end, all the hiding deeply affected how you relate to your world, a mask you wore to protect and shelter yourself.
That time is over, dearest child! It may be challenging, but it is time to begin showing your true self. It does not matter what others think or feel about you…
..what matters is how you feel about yourself!
Embrace and grow!

What comes after a Take a That concert? A spa morning and a shopping trip!
The four of us took advantage of the hotel spa facilities and treated ourselves to massages, wraps and for me a luxury facial.
Quite relaxing but equally terrifying I had a mask painted on my face and over my eyes! I was a little worried I was going to come out with no eyelashes at one point lol. But thankfully I still have them all 😊.
We then popped over to Solihull to enjoy some retail therapy and lunch before heading home to London and beyond.
Once back in Uxbridge I discovered the tubes were out so I had the joy of taking the bus for over an hour eventually getting home just before 8pm. Then dinner, TV and bed.

speaking of Ray Charles, I always felt "Georgia On My Mind" was a song about place – about the earth that nurtures you as a kid, the place that your body recognizes the second you cross the border. FOr me, coming south, as soon as I hit, say, San Luis Obispo, I feel it – it isn't mental or emotional but physical, visceral recognition.
I know there are sociopolitical meanings to this song that are crucial, given the odds against Ray Charles making it out of the south as a Black man, never mind as a blind one – but to me, the song that "comes in sweet and clear like moonlight through the pines" comes through manzanita and sage and oak and the smoke of a forest fire every summer and the mysterious plume of the Grefco plant.

The Academic Women's Association has undertaken an independent and comprehensive equity audit of the University of Alberta. The purpose of this equity audit is to assess the status of equity-seeking 'designated groups'–women, Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities–in general and the status of women and gender equity in particular.
In this fourth release and the three accompanying infographics, we present findings from the AWA's in-depth analysis of primary research and various authoritative data sources on the status of equity groups in university leadership across U15 schools and Universities in 4 western Canadian provinces.
In total, the study examined the 142 senior administrators on the leadership teams at 24 major universities in Canada. The study's findings suggest slow but steady progress toward gender equity but little progress toward racial/ethnic diversity in Canadian university leadership.

My 26th birthday was on Thursday of last week and I have been treating myself in celebration.
First I purchased a Twine & Twig necklace and am completely obsessed. I have worn it every day since it arrived in the mail. I am so pleased with my purchase.
On Saturday I popped over to Davidson, NC to visit my grandmothers and made a stop into Monkees of Lake Norman. That was a big mistake! They are fully stocked with incredible sweaters and tops for fall and winter and I was unable to resist.
Last time I was at Monkees of Lake Norman I picked up three other Kerisma tops and have LOVED them so I went nuts when I saw that they had even more Kerisma tops available. I tried them all on and talked myself down to just two. I bought the same top in two colors: Olive and Blue. They were only $69.00 so they are a great value! I didn't get them on sale, but I still feel great about this purchase.
Monkees of Lake Norman takes orders over the phone so give them a call to order these tops before they are gone!

It's probably not kosher to start your blog off with a rant, but what the hell, athletic gear merchants?
I'm about to participate in my first triathlon. Even though it's a sprint distance (750 meter swim, 26k bike, 5k run), most of the time I feel pretty badass about it. I've been teaching myself to swim by watching Mr. Smooth Stroke (and protesting loudly that it's not porn), I've been biking everywhere, and I've been running regularly (even though I think it qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment). Go me, right?
Wrong, according to TYR, Speedo, NeoSport, and pretty much all the other manufacturers of the swimsuits, jerseys, and wetsuits I was looking into buying. (You'd think the one called "Orca" would be nice to fatties, but they're just as bad as the rest.) Check out this size chart. If you're a 160 pound woman — just 10 pounds above the national average — guess what? TYR's largest wetsuit is too small for you. I ran into this over and over again, with "XXLs" for women with 33″ waists. What?
Personally, I've lost about 40 pounds but I'm still right on the line between overweight and obese. I'm also tall, and I have broad shoulders and great muscles, so I suspect even when I reach my goal I'll still be in 'larger' sizes. That's okay. I plan to be the hottest me I can be, and to be in excellent physical condition. But it pisses me off that as a 'big girl,' I will probably always have to look harder, spend more, and still settle for athletic clothing that isn't as attractive as the options available for thinner people.
This industry is elitist and discouraging, when it should be inclusive and embrace everyone who wants to try it out. Triathlon is really fun! Getting gear should be, too.
Anyway, the solution I came to was to rent my wetsuit for this event. These guys are pretty awesome, and sent me a suit that fits for about $60, including shipping. It's… what's the opposite of flattering? But it works, and I can revisit this whole dilemma before my next tri. Wish me luck!

The recent week or so of high 60 degree weather may have lulled us West Coasters into mislaid dreams of warm spring hikes and short sleeves, but unexpected attacks of "winter jacket weather" sadly snaps us back into the reality that it is, in fact, only February. And though it may be sunnier than just about anywhere else this time of year and our "winter jacket weather" may be laughable to a good majority of the country – it's not so funny how many people are still succumbing to the nasty flu season we got hit with this year. And the colds! In my opinion the only thing crueler than having a cold is having a cold when it is blazingly sunny and cheerful outside. So in light of the spate of people I know who have gotten sick this week and with fingers double crossed that my family remain immune – this week I'm posting up my chicken soup recipe. Nothing is more satisfying when you're feeling crummy and I've packed mine with good-for-you stuff like ginger, scallions and leafy greens to help your body heal. I also like it spicy, especially when a head cold has my sinuses clogged up. When I'm sick a big, steaming bowl of this soup is like the biggest, best hug I've ever had.
Spicy Chicken Soup with Orzo aka: Comfort for a Cold
- 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into very small pieces OR 2 cups shredded pre-cooked or leftover chicken
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 jalapeno, chopped fine (remove the seeds if you like it a little less spicy)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, minced OR 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 can of garbanzo beans, rinsed
- Good handful of Parsley (On stems)
- 3 or 4 scallions
- 1 cup cooked orzo pasta (also good with rice or any other tiny pasta)
- 1/2 bunch chard or other hearty green such as Kale, chopped
- Olive oil
- Salt / pepper
- Juice of half a lemon
- Heat oil in a dutch oven or other heavy bottomed soup pan and saute onion, carrot, celery, jalapeno, garlic, ginger and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
- When soft and fragrant add chicken and cook till almost done (if you are using the already cooked chicken just heat through and skip to the next step)
- Add your garbanzo beans and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add parsley (let the parsley sit on top so you can remove it later)
- Cover and cook for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend, but you can definitely let it simmer for up to an hour.
- About Five minutes before you are done simmering the soup remove the Bay leaf and parsley and add the greens, scallions and lemon.
- Check your seasonings and add more as needed.
- Serve in a big bowl with a generous spoonful of the cooked orzo.
Now take in a deep breath of that steamy soup and prepared to be hugged – then curl up with your coziest blanket and get back to bed! And remember, when you're under the weather or even feel like you might be coming down with something it's extra important to drink lots and lots of water to keep your system flushed and hydrated.

1 John 1:8 says God is love ❤
God the father sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to pay for are sins so we don't haft to pain the punishment.
God the son is Jesus Christ who died on the cross for us and he took the punishment for us.
God the Holy Spirit is the one who comes inside of us after we believe that Jesus died on the cross for us and that he was buried for 3 days but on the third day he rose from the grave and now he lives in heven!

American Engrish
After a brief absence, Bloosbabybro is back with another Sunday post. This post, along with posts not present here, is also viewable on my blog here.
I love the website engrish.com. It's dedicated to mistaken English ("Engrish") found in east Asia on clothing, packaging, signs, etc. Having lived in Japan for two years, I have a great appreciation of Engrish. Here's a recent nugget:
I'll pass on the water passed by the manager….
I always figured Engrish to be an anomaly only present in east Asia, but I've come to learn that it also exists in, of all places, *gasp*, the United States. My wife found this example at a mall in Michigan. She took the picture with her cell phone, so the focus was a little off.
The next best thing to walking tall?

With Betty+Graham on nb Tranquility and Lynne+Paul of nb Piston Broke and have spent three happy winters being frozen in together here at Braunston. Over the three and half years aboard nb Oakfield we have spent time together cruising, shopping and dining together in various venues. We have picnicked on the towpath on lazy sunny afternoons with beers or wine and on board each others boats for tea and cakes. All in all it has been a very enjoyable time together. Anyway, they have decided to call it a day, sell their boats and return to the land. We shall miss their company as we cruise on alone now!
This is winter 2009-10 when the snow and ice lasted for several weeks and we experienced some wonderful sunrises and sunsets.

There's something very satisfying about incorporating vegetables into something sweet and actually having it taste good. In this recipe, courgette was my vegetable of choice because my brother's garden has been inundated with them, so I thought I'd do them a favour and get rid of some of them. What a chore.
If you haven't heard of using vegetables in cakes before, this recipe might seem quite strange. I was a skeptic at first, but now I'm a complete convert. The courgettes are blitzed before being added to a standard cake batter, and, when cooked, melt away to intensify the chocolatey goodness. You can't taste them in the final product, but you can see some gorgeous (or, slightly scary, to those who don't know what they are) green flecks of skin in every slice. Normally, vegetables are used to replace one or two elements of a recipe, or to substitute a bit of something not very healthy for something that's a bit better for you. Truth be told, I forgot this was what you were supposed to do. I just made a normal cake batter and added a whole blitzed courgette. Whoops. But the extra oils/moisture in the courgette made for a deliciously rich, fudgey, chocolate cake so NO REGRETS.
The layers don't rise as much as a normal cake would, but you're left with a lovely, almost brownie like cake that is super moist that could easily be worked into some sort of dinner party dessert if you wanted.
I sandwiched the two thin layers with some mocha buttercream - a mixture of butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder and ground instant coffee. This paired wonderfully with the dark, rich, moist chocolate cake and made it taste like a proper dessert, rather than a cake. This truffle cake may not be the most impressive thing to look at, but it really does taste wonderful.
Note: my recipe uses small quantities, but that's because I was using small tins (the only ones I could find in the house.) If you want to increase the recipe, increase the ingredients by the weight of any additional eggs you use. An egg weighs roughly 70g, so if you use 3 eggs instead of 2 you need to increase the weight of flour, sugar and butter by 70g, and so on.
Truffle Cake
Makes 2 6 or 8'' layers
2 eggs
140g self raising flour
140g light brown sugar
140g softened butter
40g cocoa powder
1tsp of baking powder
1 courgette, finely grated or chopped in a blender
1. Preheat your oven to gas mark 4. Grease and line 2 sandwich tins. Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just incorporated after each addition.
2. Gradually add the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, alternating with a tablespoon or so of milk, until you get a thick batter. Add the grated courgette and stir.
3. Spread into the lined tins and level out the batter. Bake until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, this will depend on the temperature of your oven, but for me this was around 35 minutes.
4. Remove the cakes from the tins and leave to cool on a cooling rack. Sandwich the cakes with your desired filling when completely cold.
Keeping your finished cake in the fridge will help it develop a wonderfully truffle-like texture, which is very fudgey and brownie-like, but the cake can also be kept at room temperature for a few days.

Crude prices spent a week over $62 and under $70 and it appears a bottom is trying to form. Without forced liquidation by funds the price of oil actually took a break from daily declines.
I am actually starting to turn a little bullish on oil prices although I am not sure the selling is over. We saw funds clear the decks over the last two weeks and then produce a textbook window dressing rally going into their year-end on Friday. My concern is that they could come back as sellers next week in anticipation of some bad economics and potential election problems.
I am confident enough that we may have seen a bottom for oil that I am putting another ETF play in this weekend using DIG. That is the Proshares Ultra 2:1 oil ETF. It has declined from $131 to form a solid bottom at $24. Obviously buying calls on a $35 ETF that could run to $70 or $80 over the next six months is something anybody would like to do.
I heard an interesting statistic last week. Charles Biderman, a noted analyst who tracks money flows, said the commodity boom was created by a switch to commodities by hedge funds starting in 2004. From 2004 through 2007 over $250 billion in new money was going into commodity funds. It doubled the size of the commodity sector to $1.9 trillion of which hedge funds controlled $945 billion. This created a massive bull market in commodities just as the global economy led by China and India was exploding. In 2008 the retail investor finally caught on when oil prices started making the news every day and another $250 billion was redirected to commodities. Most of the money moving into commodity funds came from real estate sales according to Biderman. These windfall profits from homes escalating 25% a year were fattening the wallets of investors and they needed someplace to park their money. The new commodity bull market was sucking up all the loose change in the investor community.
Because those funds were highly leveraged in the futures market every ten dollars invested controlled $100 in commodities or more and sometimes a lot more. Over 500 million barrels of oil were trading each day even though only 86 million were bring consumed. It was a fascinating money trail including the collapse. Once the July top was reached those highly leveraged hedge funds could not exit fast enough. The falling commodity prices on one side were being accelerated by investor redemptions on the money side. It was a nightmare on Wall Street and the funds may take a long time to recover. Actually many commodity funds have shut down for the rest of 2008 and will not reopen until 2009. They want the smoke to clear and then pick their entries for the next run.
Jim Rogers, noted commodity investor over the last 30 years and co founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros in 1970, is buying commodities again. He was interviewed last week and he gave the tired speech about buying things when nobody else wanted them but it is still the truth. It just takes a lot of money and patience. He argued that despite the recent commodity boom and bust most people still don't have a clue about investing in the sector. He claims only about 100 of the world's 70,000 mutual funds are commodity funds. Rogers thinks the current commodity cycle will run another 10 years or longer and the current recessionary environment would eventually fade and the commodity boom would return. He quoted statistics about usage in China and India and why there will not be enough to meet demand in the years to come. He said three billion people in Asia want to live like we do and that would continue to constrain supplies for the next decade.
I believe oil and copper are going to be key commodities. The only true copper ETF (COPA) only trades on the London Exchange. The Power Shares Base metal ETF (DBB) has 1/3 copper, 1/3 aluminum and 1/3 Zinc and it is optionable. I am considering a position on it once we know what is going to happen with the global recession. Over the short-term I am going to add a steel play to capitalize from the extreme oversold conditions.
I loaded up the watch list again as many energy stocks appear to have found a bottom and may be preparing for a new move higher. I added several small cap plays that were low volatility and flying under the radar. If we do get a broad market rally I am hoping the fund managers will try to do the same in looking for 2009 positions.

Trauma Training at Richmont
The Richmont Institute of Trauma and Recovery (RIT) offers training and resources to professionals seeking specialized training in trauma, clinicians and first responders experiencing compassion fatigue, and help for individuals who have been victims of traumatization. The RIT offers a Graduate Certificate in Trauma through Richmont Graduate University and also offers training and certification through the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology. Richmont Trauma Response Teams are trained and available to meet acute trauma disasters locally, nationally, and globally.
Graduate Certificate in Trauma Counseling
Richmont Graduate University offers a Trauma specialization as part of its School of Counseling programs. The trauma counseling track is designed to provide specialized training for students who wish to work with clients who have experienced a history of trauma and/or abuse. This track emphasizes the understanding and treatment of "complex trauma"–trauma that typically began in the early, developmentally formative years and involved maltreatment by a major attachment figure/caregiver. However, these courses will also address the treatment needs of those who have suffered acute traumatic experiences. Richmont is partnering with national experts in the field of trauma treatment to provide training that combines understanding of biological impact of trauma, research-based treatment models, and faith integration.
Green Cross Training
Richmont is partnering with the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology (GCAT). Individuals completing the course of study are granted Green Cross recognition as Field and Certified Traumatologists.
The Green Cross Academy of Traumatology (GCAT) is an international organization that provides humanitarian relief in the form of trained service providers and traumatologists, most of whom are licensed mental health caregivers. When traumatic events occur anywhere in the world, GCAT is pleased to respond to requests for assistance from individuals and organizations. Richmont is excited to be a part of such a vital mission.
Our Three-Tiered Approach
To Trauma Training and Treatment
Failure to acknowledge the pervasiveness of trauma on the development of children and in the lives of adults is a significant threat to relationships, families, churches, and communities…Yes, it hurts, and it's messy, but it's what God called us to do.
Dr. Vanessa Snyder, Director Richmont Institute of Traumatology
As most people have experienced trauma on some level, I wanted to learn how to be sensitive and support people in tough places. Not only that, but to walk alongside them as they write the rest of their story-acknowledging but not confined by the past.
Ben Horner, Richmont Graduate

Well, all good things come to an end as the saying goes and this trip is no different. We covered 4,901 miles across seven states in 10 days. My book, 'The Day The World Retreated', has a Facebook page and you can see selected pics from the trip there. I will post some more later in the week.
And, speaking of later in the week, I'll get back to product reviews, most likely on Wed.
Thanks for visiting Texas Gun Show Review.

We should not give up Jesus because of his followers; nor should we give up on the church because of people in the church. I find that the following statement from Brennan Manning is quite true, but it doesn't have to be.
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.~popularized by the 1995 dc Talk track "What if I stumble?"
The Jesus we read about in the Bible is not the Jesus we often see exemplified by his followers, and this includes each of us. The plain teachings of Jesus such as loving one's enemies, denying self, and seeking God with all our emotions, intelligence, and strength, is not an easy matter. In fact, I haven't met anybody who can apply such principles perfectly. It's a journey, and we are never promised that it will be easy. All Christians need to keep in mind what Paul wrote to Timothy:
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted (2 Tim. 3:12)
Please notice, it doesn't say "might be," it says "will be." The New Testament message for followers is not the message of comfort and living happily ever after. It is not the message of peace and prosperity. When we consider any of the great men of faith described in places like Heb. 11, we do not see people with cushioned lives. We see people who decided to trust in God regardless of the persecution that always resulted. Could it not be that the modern day evangelical message of: follow Jesus and you will prosper socially, politically, and economically; is mistaken.
Did God promise a trouble free life? Did he mislead us into thinking the good people would not suffer or even die? Quite the contrary. It promised persecution, it gave examples persecution, and it considered enduring hardships as an identifying characteristic of true discipleship. The world is not to be our home. We are not to love; we are to influence it, which means we are to be different. True believers are the ones who trust in God regardless of the situations they face. True believers trust God with what he provides. It is easy to trust in God when you have food on the table, money in the bank, and the security of worldly wealth. But what happens when our security is threatened? What happens when we lose our job? What happens when the stock market crashes? What happens if we find ourselves homeless or even in prison? Can we trust God then?
Like it or not; accept it or not; that is what we are called to do. People will hurt us. Even people trying to follow Christ will hurt others trying to follow Christ. It is a mistake to expect fellow Christians to treat us as they should. Do we treat others as we should? No, not always anyway. It is common for Christians to complain about other Christians. Christianity is about a personal commitment to our Lord Jesus. We are called to treat others as we desire to be treated. We are to love others, even enemies, as we love ourselves. But we will always appointed if we expect others to do the same. Just like we are imperfect; so are others.
The church is the community of God, and a true follower will always manage to find strength and encouragement within it. But we will also discover persecution and hardships along the way. One of Jesus' first miracles was healing a demon possessed man in the synagogue. He was among God's community. Satan's influence is very much at work within the church and even at work within ourselves. We must guard against his influences, but this is not easy because it's hard to recognize. I do think there are some red flags that should help us though.
- Anytime you have cause to hate; that is a red flag. You can hate a behavior, but hating and rejecting a person (even somebody who hurts you), is wrong. It is always wrong. Proof of this is the way Jesus prayed that God would forgive the very people who hung him on the cross.
- We should always be open to God's direction. When we reach the point of thinking we have it all figured out, that is a sure sign we don't. When we are afraid to hear what people have to say; when we can't discuss things by considering different perspectives; when we feel the need to reject or silence others because we have already decided the matter in our minds; we shut out the process of learning. That is a red flag. We are no longer seeking God; we are seeking to remain loyal to traditional understanding. The desire for truth will never reject the possibility of being wrong. However, the desire to be right will resist learning out of the fear of being shown to be wrong. When people can't discuss all matters in a rational way, it is a red flag.
- When you reach a point that you think you understand God so well that you can decide who he loves and who he doesn't, that is a BIG RED FLAG. Consider Luke 18:9-14 as an example. This is called the parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector. Here we have a case of God accepting the sorrowful sinner while rejecting the self-righteous man. This flies directly in the face of how many people perceive the Christian life today. God does not see things on the outside as we do. It is always a mistake to think you know what only God can know.
It saddens me to see so many people giving up on Christianity because they are disappointed by other believers. I recently read another blog post entitled, "I'm tired of being a Christian," that expressed a lot of the heart ache I hear among those who have kind of given up on the church and Christianity. I agree, it can be exhausting. But it is a mistake to give up on Jesus because of the behavior of other followers. Our commitment to Christ should never be contingent upon the behavior of others. When you respond to the pain of rejections by rejecting others. you are only repeating the behavior you consider to be wrong. Likewise, when you judge somebody for judging you; you are yourself judging, right? If we consider the imperfection we see in others as a mirror to our own perfection, it will keep the emphasis where it needs to be: on our own behavior.

VIDEO :Magnito – If I Get Money Eh
Nigerian vocalist, Magnito has discharged the visuals for "In the event that I Get Money Eh," a melody that gloats with what to do with cash on the off chance that you hit enormous pay! Th vocalist tells in points of interest what he would do in the event that he hit the huge bonanza!
As found in the music video, is Magnito truly simply attempting to spur us to improve fiscally? Does anybody have individuals throughout their life that boast about cash or gloat about what they would do with progressively in the event that they hit a large number of dollars?

Can you believe that Moulin Rouge came out 10 years ago? I was a freshmen in high school 10 years ago and that seems like a loooong time ago. That year we even sang "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" in show choir, so that made my Moulin love official. So, today I'm wearing an elephant-print shirt in honor of the lovely Satine (not really but this was really my only anecdote I could come up with to relate to elephants).
I tried to find a clip of my show choir when we did "Diamonds" but I couldn't find it, so I'll leave you with this clip. Bonus points if you can spot me!

We've said it before and we'll say it again, Friends truly is one of the best sitcoms of all time.
Running for ten seasons, we couldn't get enough and loved keeping up with the lives of Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler.
Like in all shows though, there were a few things that just didn't add up and for Friends, it was continuity errors that were undeniable. We still love the show all the same, but we can't believe they allowed these to slip through.
1. Crab Cakes
In the past, it was established that Ross was allergic to shellfish, however in season nine he is quite happily eating crab cakes – maybe his allergy subsided?
2. Saltwater Taffy
Season eight sees Phoebe enjoy saltwater taffy for what she says in the first time. In season two however, she explains that she met her Navy boyfriend after he dropped some in her guitar case.
3. Birthday Changes
In season three, Phoebe says her birthday falls on February 16th, but by season nine she's celebrating it on Halloween.
4. The Cleaning Lady
Though he often says that Carol was the first woman he slept with, in season seven Chandler reveals that Ross slept with their college cleaning lady.
5. Surprise
Monica and Chandler were shocked to find out they were going to be adopting twins from Erica, but they saw the ultrasound beforehand so how did they not know already?
6. Happy Birthday
Ross' birthday changed from March, to December and then to October 18th.
7. Chandler Can't Cry
There was a whole episode based on the fact Chandler couldn't cry, but in The One With Rachel's Going Away Party, Monica says that Chandler cried at the six o'clock news.
8. Vegetarian?
Despite the fact she's vegetarian, Phoebe wants – and gets – leather pants in season four.
9. Magic Boots
In season nine, Monica is seen wearing the same boots that she supposedly lost in the season previous.
10. Ice Cream
Whilst out on a date with Elizabeth, Ross happily enjoys an ice cream, although he previous claimed not to like it.
11. "Air Quotes"
Throughout the show, Joey often uses air quotes, however in season nine he claims to not know how to use them.
12. Greene
When Ross sends her wedding invitation, her surname is spelt at 'Greene'.
13. First Meeting
Chandler and Rachel meet three times throughout the show! First in the pilot.
14. Again
Then again in The One With The Flashback, at the bar that later became Central Perk.
15. And Again
And also in The One With All The Thanksgivings.
16. Ross' First Kiss
Ross discovered that "his first kiss with Rachel" was actually his sister Monica, but four seasons earlier Rachel admits Ross kissed her during High School to "get some chapstick".
17. Moving Toilet
Some bathroom remodelling must have occurred because first of Joey and Chandler's toilet is here…
18. Bathroom Remodelling
but then it moved to behind the door in later seasons.
19. Part-Time Job
The nurse who delivers Ben is the same actress that played Estelle.
20. Engagement Ring
Monica is shocked by the size of the ring that Joey 'proposed' to Rachel with. However, given that he proposed to Emily with it and it's her grandmothers anyway, she would have seen it before.

My good friends Dr. Percy Chan (Quality Director), Mr. Larry Lee (Quality & Compliance Manager) and Ms. Kitty Liu (Quality Engineer) led their colleagues to visit Science Park Laboratories on 16th Aug 2017. We had cooperated for the HKSQ Student Project Competition in 2015 and then GP Batteries International Limited moved into Science Park. I had visited their reliability laboratory on 17th Jun 2017 and then I invited them to visit our laboratories too. Before our meeting, we took a group photo with my boss Mr. Kevin Edmunds (Senior Manager, Sustainability, HKSTP) for memory.
(Left: I, Mr. John Cheung (Ass. Safety & Reliability Testing Engineer), Mr. Raymond Lee (Safety & Reliability Testing Engineer), Mr. Kevin Edmunds (Sr. Manager, Sustainability, HKSTP), Mr. Dai Yongyou (Sr.Engineer), Ms. Zhang Xiaowan (Safety & Compliance Engineer), Mr. Alex Wang (Laboratory Manager), Ms. Kitty Liu (Quality Engineer), Mr. Mark (Knowledge Mgt Manager), Mr. Victor Lau (Sr. Quality Engineer), Mr. Percy Chan (Quality Director) and Mr. Larry Lee (Quality & Compliance Manager))
In the beginning, Kevin Edmunds briefed the background of Sustainability team and then I presented the corporation quality unit (CQU) functions and our integrated management system.
Then we visited the Reliability Laboratory. Mr. YC Lee (Senior Manager, Technology Support Centre, HKSTP) introduced the reliability testing and 3D printing technology to GP experts.
Our new 3D CT X-ray system was introduced to them and they were very interested in using it. (where CT is Computed Tomography)
After that we visited IC chemical laboratory for chemical decapsulation of packaged devices.
At the end, we visited the 3D SiP laboratories and took a group photo in front of our cleanroom.
After the visit, Percy invited Mr. YC Lee and Mr. TM Lau (Laboratory Manager, RL & ICFAL) to visit their reliability laboratory too. I believed that we would have many collaboration projects in near future.

Bidirection Continuous or Incrementing Spring Clutch
Original Publication Date: 1966-Sep-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2005-Mar-06
Publishing Venue

This clutch can be controlled to provide bidirectional continuous or incremental motion.
Bidirection Continuous or Incrementing Spring Clutch
This clutch can be controlled to provide bidirectional continuous or incremental motion.
The clutch comprises coil spring 2 wound around input shaft 4. Ends 6 and 8 of spring 2 extend upwardly through a loosely fitting slot in output sleeve 10. Ends 6 and 8 are fastened to ratchet disks 12 and 14 concentrically mounted over sleeve 10. Magnets 16 and 18 control the rotation of disks 12 and 14. The slopes of the teeth of disks 12 an 14 are opposed. If both magnets 16 and 18 are energized, their armatures 22 and 24 engage a tooth of associated disks. This action provides a stop for both disks and permits spring 2 to unwind.
Thus sleeve 10 does not rotate irrespective of the direction of rotation of shaft 4.
If either disk is freed by deenergizing its associated magnet, the corresponding end of spring 2 is permitted to move part way across the slot of sleeve 10. Thus spring 2 is wound tight on shaft 4 which drives sleeve 10 and output shaft 20 if shaft 4 is turning in the proper direction. If shaft 4 is turning in the opposite direction, spring 2 tends to unwind and no rotation of output shaft 20 is produced.

So I'm hoping to get to train a bit with my hubby. He really pushes me. he knows what I can do and he wants to reach my full potential. He's so awesome! I really hope he'll let me pull out my gloves so I can practice on the focus mits. I think that is my fav. I'd like to think if I went down a dark alley (which I'm way to chicken to do, so no worries on that) that I could actually hold my own, at least long enough to throw a few punches, claw the guy and bit and run the other way. I mean I'm not Xena Warrior Princess or Max from Dark Angel, I'm a chik that knows some dirty street fighting when I need to whip it out and put a smack down on the perp, but I have sense enough to run away when I get the chance. You've got to hold your own until you see that opportunity to get the heck out of dodge.

I'm not sure I can coherently write in the moment, but I want to try. This is usually where I go into fog, so I'm going to try to write it all out.
There's a job he's working on. It's a school. It has a president's name (as so many do), but I'll call it Franklin. It's a school, so anything to do with any kind of governmental pay source is slow. This means you want to wrap it up neatly and.get.that.invoice.rolling. Plus, it means you want to get it wrapped up so you can hurry up and move on to a commercial job that pays much more quickly, or you won't have money to buy food and pay bills. We are facing just such a pinch.
So, that job he's working on. For the last few days, his projected hours show up as either increasing or not decreasing. It's like the hours are reproducing like dust bunnies. It's not the norm.
There are possible reasons for this: He did a terrible job of calculating the budget and projecting hours. He's not working on it as much as he says he is. There are legitimate unforeseen screws and twists that can plague certain jobs. Any or all of those.
My problem is that I don't trust him. The reason I don't trust him is because he's lied to me about various and sundry, big, small, middling, important, and trivial things for all the years I've known him. He can go a long stretch without lying, but then again, how would I actually know that's true… I know that he's lied belligerently, repetitively, smoothly, earnestly, sneakily, cleverly, stupidly, and most important… he's lied about lying.
This means when for any reason I pause to wonder if he's lying, I have to consider that maybe he is lying. It's sensible in light of history, and I don't mean ancient history. I find it reasonable to have doubts and to ask questions.
He finds it insulting. Apparently he finds it a reason to start shouting at me too. Which he just recently did today. This morning his projection showed (again!) 3 hours to finish Franklin. He was in a tizzy about starting the next school project. I told him to wrap up Franklin (fercryinoutloud) so we could invoice, and that one particular small commercial job had to be finished today so we could get grocery money in fast. I could see him balking, and we had a discussion about it, then finally he agreed and left to purportedly start finishing Franklin..
Fast forward to mid-afternoon.When I asked if he was finished with Franklin, he told me not yet. Not yet? It only showed a few hours this morning, and that was close to five hours ago? Then he explained about his last few hours with some long stream of garbledygook job lingo that made me feel like I was being schmoozed and snookered somehow. I asked if what he just described was part of finishing Franklin. He looked irritated and started to go into the whole spiel again about how it was going to help with Franklin AND the upcoming schools.
I asked, "If I come back there and look in detail at what you did for the last three hours, will I see how it was moving Franklin to completion?"
That made him get more angry. He seethed, "(version of my childhood nickname said with sneering tone) I just told you that it would be applied to both … [insert blah blah blah of repeat]"
I asked, "Then how many hours are left on Franklin?"
He says he's not sure.
I asked again, "So if I come back and look in detail, will I see that the background preparation you did for future school, also helped you to get Franklin completed?"
"What do you mean by background," he asked with his eyes squeezing together. "What do you mean by background? I need to know what you mean by that word, so I can give you the right answer!"
I said, "Anything that includes preparatory work, any organizing steps or stages to build on to complete a job."
Momentary nasty glare, then yelling commences. (I guess maybe he didn't care what the answer to his question was after all.)
Now he's yelling. He's sick of it. He can't take it anymore. I should find someone to replace him at his job.
If only. Oh… if only. Don't tempt me when your turd factor is at high stench levels.
He yells more. I constantly accuse him of lying. It's so hard to live with my suspecting him.
I said, "You do realize that you are entirely responsible for creating this? That if you would stop lying, and just tell the truth for a decent amount of time, that this would change?"
He snaps, "Would it?"
And then I realize I am not getting more upset. I'm calm. A sick small clench is buried somewhere inside, but I'm calm. Like the eye of a storm, but I'm not feeling anything. I just want him to go away. I want to go away. I want to be done.
I told him that his behavior has been getting worse. That when he's escalated in the past, it's always left destruction and loss in his wake. That when I said I'd attempt to work on things, but he had to cooperate when it came to work and money, I did NOT mean this stuff. I told him that given his history and recent behaviors (lies included), that's it's entirely sane and reasonable for me to doubt and ask questions.
He said, "I try to answer earnestly, and you interrupt me!"
(I'm thinking… maybe it's because you also can lie earnestly.)
I told him that when he's yelling, and getting digs in, that it's like guerrilla warfare, and I don't want it.
He said, "Digs? What kind of digs? Give me an example of a dig I made today! I don't make digs at you! All I did was try to explain, but then I have to deal with your cross-examination!"
And actually… he went on for a few more sentences, so I guess he also didn't want an example of a dig. As if using the word 'cross-examination' isn't its own little dig.
I ended by telling him that he could either stop it, or I'm ready to do whatever I need to, including going to a homeless shelter if I need to. I said, "You know how excited I was that a couple kids might be coming home to visit this summer. You know how much I care about the flowers and garden. About working with our youngest with education. But I'll do it if I have to." I said that I knew there would be fallout, and some people would be hurt, but I was prepared to accept it as part of the cost to protect myself. I said I was going to call someone so we could meet and I could explain (with some documentation) why I don't trust him, and that he could explain to that person why he felt it was reasonable to be angry about my doubt and questions.
I said, "You have stolen so much of my life already. I won't willingly let you take anymore of it."
He said he needed to take a break. I said I needed to make that call.
And I tried. I kept the number in a fb message, and guess what wouldn't load for me? I just said a prayer and let it go for now. I'm guessing he'll wind down. I hope he does. I'd rather keep making my progress towards independence without landing in a shelter. But I'm still strangely calm, no matter which way it goes.

Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the oral function, esthetics, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing teeth, deficient teeth, and/or compromised maxillo-facial tissues using biocompatible substitutes.
The various treatment techniques are as follows:
Complete Dentures
Complete Dentures, are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. complete tooth loss is replaced by complete denture.
Removable Dentures
A removable partial denture (RPD) is a denture for a partially edentulous patient who desires to have replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons and who cannot have a bridge (a fixed partial denture) for any number of reasons, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge (i.e. distal abutments) or financial limitations.
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. Sometimes a natural-colour 'composite' material is used instead of porcelain. Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured tooth or to lighten your front teeth. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look whole again. The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth, with a thicker section replacing the broken part. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
Veneers Before
Veneers After
Metal Free Crowns
Metal free crowns(zircon)are again full ceramic crowns and bridges without metal reinforcement. Zircon (synthetic diamond) has exceptional rigidity that enables us to carry out large restorations with improved mechanical forecast.The aesthetic results are excellent and restores the appearance of natural tooth.
Metal Ceramic Crowns
The metal ceramic crowns have a metal base coated with ceramic. Metal ceramic crowns came closer to the look of real teeth and also provided good strength, durability and fit.
Metal Crowns
Stainless steel crowns are prefabricated crowns that are used on permanent teeth primarily as a temporary measure. The crown protects the tooth or filling while a permanent crown is made from another material.

In the next three years, Indian companies will pour Rs 10.5 trillion ($215.25 billion) into industrial expansion, research and ratings agency Crisil said in the report covering 11 sectors of the economy released Thursday. That's down about 25% from announced capital spending plans, but still represents an average compound annual growth rate of 7% through the fiscal year ending March 2012, said Crisil research head Manoj Mohta.
Though investment in textiles and autos will be weak, investment in power is expected to rise 30 to 40% over the next three years, and investment in gas transmission and distribution is expected to double, which is a healthy sign for our economy
During past economic slowdowns in India, notably 1997-1998 and 2002-2003, private sector investment contracted by 1 to 2% a year due to cautious bank lending and weak demand. During the last four-year boom, however, Indian companies built up cash and today banks remain willing to lend to high-demand sectors like power and telecommunications, both of which are rapidly expanding.

Kimbob is located in SM City North Edsa food court. If you don't know where that is, it's at the ground floor of the main building. It's right beside KFC and a bulalo-ish type food stall. Well, if I were you, just spot the KFC. I don't know how to be more helpful than that. Just kidding! LOL.
This is not actually the first day I've tried this bibimbap from KIMBOB, The first time I tried it, it was good. The second time, it was better! LOL. I don't know what's so special about it. Maybe the sizzling plate! LOL.
Bibimbap may look fancy and complicated but you don't have to worry on how you're supposed to eat it. Mix it up girl! Or! Mix it up BOY! LOL. Seriously you just have to mix everything up and stuff. Well ,they kind of serve the sauce separately so you have to add that up for the flavors to come out.
The good thing about them is that you get to choose what meat is going inside your bibimbap. You can choose from beef, chicken, and pork. The first time I tried this, I got chicken I believe. I tried on pork. Well, not much of a difference lol. Same difference! And the good thing is it's only P99. Quite cheaper than some KOREAN RESTAURANTS that I like. But the quality is quite good. Also, there were Koreans ordering this last time! :)
It was really fun eating bibimbap again. My cousin Cat actually was kind of convinced as well. She doesn't eat spicy food and stuff so yeah, but she said it was good.
And she also poured the whole spicy sauce stuff inside hers after this picture.
When we were done mixing the whole thing, she was hesitant to add up all the sauce but I told her that it's not that spicy and that she can eat it. The funny thing is she kind of finished her food first! THOUGHT SHE DOESN'T LIKE SPICY FOODS. LOL. It was a huge serving.
Completely out of post but we managed to eat a slice of PIZZA anyways. LOL. We are HAPPY GIRLS!

30-01-12 – Love Craft Weekly Showcase
I was racking my brains on what to write this week, and reached a total mental block! So hunt the internet for a quote to inspire you I thought, and what did I find ? Page after page of inspiring things that made me want to bo back to my sewing desk rather than write anything at all! But I resisted and instead give you all this thought –
"We in Western Society have largely become 'observers' rather than 'doers' …. I believe that the decline in appreciation of Craftsmanship is at the root of this trend, and that this trend must be reversed for us to survive" (William L Gould)
He is so right! We should all have a greater understanding and appreciation of all things handmade made, or homemade, or just made with love and passion. So many things in our society are mass produced in a factory on the other side of the world, we have no connection with the maker and therefore with the item at all. As all of you here prove every week, we as a group are far ahead in changing us back to a 'making' rather than 'buying' world! Well done – keep up the good work and keep spreading the crafting word!

Me and My Shadow – Papier-mâché Magnets
I was searching my brain trying to think up something we could make for Daddy for Valentine's Day. I spotted some heart shaped silicone moulds in Poundland and an idea was born! You can pick up all sorts of different shaped silicone moulds in discount stores such as Ikea, pound shops and Wilkinson's. Ice cube trays and small cake cases work well.

Here come the Girls – Make your own fabric painted bags
I have seen printing using celery in a few places now. I think it's the new potato printing. It's very easy, just cut off the bottom of the celery and it forms a lovely rose pattern. I wanted to print something large to work as a design for some bags to store gloves and scarves in the hallway and this was perfect. It is very easy for young children to do as it is such a large stamp.

Actually Mummy… – Yummy Dough!
Father Christmas never fails to bring something to displease Mummy. Last year it was Whoopee Cushions and Noisy Putty. This year, with the aid of Tired Mummy of Two's Christmas list, he brought Yummy Dough. Mummy muttered a square-word and hid it behind the craft (read Yellow Moon) box. Requests to use it were countered with the observation that we still had lots of Christmas chocolate to get through before baking activity could resume.

Molly Coddles Kitchen – How to wrap in style!
I love to receive presents, especially if they are wrapped in pretty paper & gorgeous ribbons.
I first learnt how to wrap 'professionally' when I was eighteen. I had taken a managers role at a chocolatiers in Buckinghamshire & the owner had a strong aversion to sellotape. Everything had to be wrapped in beautiful, thick brown paper which was decorated with various different designs & highlighted with gold print. You could only use just enough paper to cover the box of chocolates – too much was as much of a crime as too little…

Wag Doll – Silk Jewellery Pouch Tutorial (how to store your bling in style!)
Ahh bling, the frivolous accessories that transform a plain outfit into a vision of loveliness…or more likely remain in a tangled mess in an old shoebox. Jewellery needs good storage and practical ways of taking it with you when you're packing for holidays. So here's an oldie but goodie, the jewellery pouch.
This little drawstring pouch opens to reveal a large central area to hold your chunky jewellery and bangles, and 8 little pockets to hold rings and smaller items.

I had seen photos of them before but never attempted to make any until recently. They really are VERY easy, can be made from small pieces of material and brighten up a coat, hat, bag, dress, cushion etc etc…
I can't remember where I first saw how to make them but quite liked the idea of doing my own tute here. Here goes!
First you will need a square of felt. I don't think I will give measurements – if you want a larger rose you need to use a larger piece of felt 🙂

Remember those pine cones Ethan collected in Autumn? And my idea of spray painting them and using them as Christmas decorations? I finally got around to it!!

It's Thrifty Thursday again (I have no idea where the last week went) and today's post is packed full of fun messy play activities to keep the little 'uns busy. I used to be a reception teacher and now work part-time as a pre-school teacher, so I'm no stranger to mess.

I want to set the record straight here. I do have a job. I work very hard. I do work part time hours and I do other stuff sometimes that isn't work during the day.
Because I have set hours I work on a typical week almost every hour is allocated to a regular meeting or regular job. So actually I'm not that flexible to last minute changes and you will find it almost impossible to get hold of me by phone unless we arrange the call in advance!
What I have is the flexibility to set up my week how I want to. Then on it's set in stone! I have to be this hyper-organised so that I make the most of every hour and can do the other non-work things I want to. Every week for me is like ground hog day! Obviously events crop up that mean a reshuffle. A few weeks ago I had 3 days in a row at events all over the place and whilst these days out were exciting I certainly appreciated getting back to my routine.
So I'm afraid if you're looking for spontaneous then you've come to the wrong place and I think that flexible working does require a lot of planning but it's certainly worth it!

I realized that I'm a liar.
A few weeks back, I bragged about having a perfect interview streak. As I drove away from my interview this morning, I realized that isn't true.
A few years back, when I was trying to escape from the Big Red U, I went on an interview with an online jewelry company called Blue Nile. I wanted that job so bad it hurt. It was in the perfect location of downtown Seattle, with close proximity to Pike Place Market. The people were fun — they had beer night once a month after work!
I prepared for that interview as best I could. I spent hours going through their website so that I could speak knowledgably about their service and their company. I went in for my first interview and I knocked 'em dead. I went in for my second interview and managed to impress myself. When I got called back for a third interview, I thought, "Eunice, you've got this one in the bag."
It wasn't cockiness that failed me, it was nerves. My final interview was with the CEO of the company and that completely intimidated me. I had never interviewed with a CEO before. She had just returned from her lunch hour, where she had been shopping at Nordstrom. The sheer power of this woman I had to impress made me cringe. My nerves got the better of me and I botched it big time. I second guessed myself when I knew better and they ended up offering the job to the candidate "with more experience" than I.
With that said, I got invited for a second interview next week. We'll see how that goes.

Edible Theology, Liquid Doctrine
Edible Theology, Liquid Doctrine
We sometimes divide up things that ought not to be divided. Just because we can distinguish them does not mean that they should be separated. We can distinguish height, breadth, and depth, but we cannot remove one without removing all of them. We can distinguish soul and body, but to separate them is to die. We can distinguish Word and sacrament, but it is utter folly to try to separate them.
We are given a Word and a Table. God intends for the Word to accompany the sacrament, and for the sacrament to accompany the Word. To have theological lectures alone is like gathering your family around a table every night for words coming out of mouths, but with nothing coming out of the oven. To have the sacrament alone is like having a family that shovels the food in, but cannot be prevailed upon to converse with one another. Do you want to be in a family that talks, but never eats? Or in a family that eats, but never talks? How about neither?
We gather to hear the Word, and we gather to feed upon the Word we have been given. What do we have on this Table before us? Edible theology, that's what. Liquid doctrine. Love, doctrine, peace, conversation.
What God has joined together, no man should separate. Talk with God, partake with one another, share with one another, give to one another, and receive from one another. The Word informs us that this is what we are doing. The sacrament gives us opportunity to do. But without the Word, the sacrament does more harm than good. Without the sacrament, the Word doesn't get down into your bones.
So come, and welcome, to Jesus Christ.

Over the past 30 years, I've had the opportunity to serve Racine residents as a School Board member, alderman, mayor and as the city administrator. I strongly believe that honesty is the most important attribute that a candidate for office must demonstrate. I have known and worked with both of the mayoral candidates for many years.
Alderman Sandy Weidner's advertising and public remarks are deliberately misleading, incorrect and a blatant effort to create an incorrect picture of gloom and doom. There are facts that show otherwise.
Her statement that the city's level of indebtedness has increased in recent years is false. The city's annual audit will verify that the level has in fact decreased by more than $6 million dollars in the last four years. Over Alderman Weidner's 17 years in office, the level of debt has been very consistent. Annually, the bond rating agency, Standard and Poor's, cites the stable level of debt and high level of fiscal management as strengths in the city.
Her characterization that little attention has been given to promoting local businesses is also false. In a report to the Common Council, the Racine County Economic Development Corporation reported that more than 1,800 jobs have been created or retained by local businesses through the city's direct intervention since 2010, resulting in $107 million dollars in investment.
During my 30 years of public life, I accepted personal criticism as a part of the job and usually refrained from responding when the facts did not support the claims. But Weidner's claims that the position of administrator is not needed belie her previous support for the position and the people who have held it. She advocated for the position when it was created and now it doesn't suit her campaign agenda, so she opposes it.
One of the functions the aldermen looked to improve with the addition of a city administrator was someone to answer their questions and concerns directly. During my time in that office, Alderman Weidner was my most frequent caller. I spent more time answering her concerns than any other alderman and now she states that I was in over my head. Amazing!
Some candidates will tell you anything to get elected. Don't believe everything that you hear and read.

When people were protesting the Iraq War, they didn't have $500 a plate fundraisers. Then again, they didn't have sponsorship from Fox News, the backing of corporate lobbyists and the attendance of prominent conspiracy theorists like Alan Keyes.
Conservatives, you win! Bwahahaha!
(I should also note that my scorn for protests defies ideology. As I've said on this site about liberal protests in the past – they don't do anything in the modern age. Liberal protests weren't able to stop George W. Bush's unneeded war in Iraq, and the conservative tea parties won't stop Barack Obama from fixing the economy George W. Bush broke.)

As many of you know, I've been stressing about what to wear to Man BFF's company Christmas Party for weeks now, but now that the party is gone and past, I can say that I wore THE perfect outfit.
Before I get into the specifics of my look, check out these pics from the partay! Man BFF's company rented out Conseco Fieldhouse (where the Indiana Pacer's play) and it was pretty sweet.
Not your average company Christmas Party. That's for sure.
And now for my outfit.
Before knowing that the party was business casual, I had originally bought a super glitzy black sequin dress. While I could have still been appropriately dressed in it (there was a wide range of fanciness going on), I'm glad that I didn't go for that. There was a lot of sequins going on and honestly, those in sequins didn't stand out from the crowd. I chose a silhouette and style (stepford wife) that made me confident and proud of what I was wearing (this pic was taken at the end of the party… I looked a little more put together at the beginning and you can't even see my awesome earrings!). Some random chick even came up and said she loved my outfit and when I said "thank you," she said "no, thank you." Success!
Lesson learned: stick with what works for you! Don't go trendy just cause you want to be that person.
