Finance Committee Approves
$111.7 Billion Budget Bill
AUSTIN - The Senate Finance Committee today passed out a $111.7 billion budget proposal for Texas in the 2002-2003 biennium.
The Committee Substitute for Senate Bill (CSSB) 1, the General Appropriations Bill, represents a $9.8 billion increase over the 2000-2001 budget. Final budget legislation will be crafted by the Senate and House of Representatives. CSSB 1 sets budgets for every state agency and outlines Texas' general spending priorities for the next two-year period.
"This budget meets the basic needs of a growing Texas while making significant progress in several key areas vital to the economy and people of our state," said Houston Sen. Rodney Ellis, the chair of the Finance Committee. "This is a very strong budget that will help thousands of Texas families build for the future."
A large percentage of CSSB 1 is dedicated to health and human services, which, at $34.7 billion, accounts for more than 31 percent of the overall budget. The bill also includes $787 million for state employee raises.
The greatest portion of the budget is earmarked for education. CSSB 1 allocates almost $48 billion, or 42.9 percent, of the budget for public and higher education, including $200 million in General Revenue to fund a teacher and school employee health insurance program.
Ellis told the Senate Education Committee, which has held several hearings to explore teacher and employee health insurance proposals, that he intends the $200 million figure to be a starting point for funding an insurance plan. He said as much as an additional $1.9 billion could be derived from other funding sources, including individual school districts' share.
"I'm not sure that we did as much as we wanted to do in any area," Ellis said. "But we did the best that we could do with the available resources."
CSSB 1 does not include any tax increase.
The Finance Committee has spent the past two months hearing testimony and budget requests from numerous groups and state agencies. Ellis said the budget contains "no fat" and cautioned that there simply is not enough money available to meet every funding request.
"When we began this process, I tried to establish four key priorities for the committee -- increasing funding for health and human services, expanding the TEXAS Grants program, providing health insurance to our hard-working Texas teachers and giving state employees a pay raise," Ellis said. "I believe this budget makes significant progress on each of these issues and represents a major down payment for Texas' future."
In other Senate news, San Antonio Sen. Leticia Van de Putte spoke at a press conference today about a group of bills she has filed dubbed the "Tulia Justice Bills." Tulia is a small Panhandle town in which 16 percent of the African-American population was sent to prison after a 1999 drug sweep. The arrests and subsequent trials have been criticized by minority and civil rights groups.
Van de Putte said the intention of the bills is to ensure that Texas law fully protects those unjustly accused of crimes.
"Although these bills may be controversial, Texans deserve to know what can happen to them if they are wrongly accused of a crime," Van de Putte said.
McAllen State Rep. Juan Hinojosa, the chair of the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee, has filed companion legislation.
Representatives from the American Civil Liberties Union, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, National Council of La Raza, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the League of United Latin American Citizens attended the press conference in support of the bills.
In session, the Senate passed six bills, but a seventh, CSSB 108, was left pending after unexpected opposition arose to a motion to debate the bill. CSSB 108, sponsored by Brownsville Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr., would prohibit school districts from beginning classes before the week in which August 21 falls.
The Senate stands adjourned until 11 a.m. Tuesday.

After Years of Black, Brights and Platinum, I Accidentally Dyed My Hair Its Natural Color
I rinsed out the dye and noticed that my hair was the color I had so actively been avoiding the past few years.
Body horror. Every woman has felt it. Growing boobs, getting your period… the list of crazy-horrifying ish goes on and on.
But being diagnosed with a disease takes it a step further, whether you're a woman or a man. The one thing you intrinsically trust (your actual body) betrays you. And you have to make peace with it. One cannot live in a constant state of flux or anger or depression. It's just not conducive to a happy, healthy life.
Eight months ago I was wrapping up a sober stretch and long distance training with a half marathon. A healthy but novice runner, I had put in the time, distance, and social sacrifice. I finished at 2:12 and promptly felt like I'd been run over by a truck.
I felt physically destroyed and emotionally lost, which I know is common for runners who meet a race goal. But there was a ton of stuff that I'd chalked up to running that was actually symptomatic of an impending life-changer.
I dropped a significant amount of weight--about 25 pounds in a short amount of time--and I lost my job. Then I started losing my HAIR.
By January, my 5'11" frame was down to 115 pounds. Something was up.
A friend of mine passed away and I flew out for her funeral, basically leaving a trail of hair from New York to New Mexico. I thought either it was my thyroid or the stress of losing my job and my friend, but I didn't have insurance at the time and wouldn't be diagnosed until April. It was diabetes, aka "the beets."
My super high blood sugar caused my hair to revolt, fleeing my body in protest, my doctor told me. That's totally not how she said it, but I can just picture each strand of hair saluting and then forcing itself off of my head, die by the sword style.
Today, I'm in the cycle where it will begin to regrow after it calibrates, which I'm hoping happens soon because I haven't felt attractive or feminine or lovely in more than half a year, partly on account of this mop.
My bright spot? Kérastase Densifique. It's my visibly-density-lacking hair's destiny. Before this, I had tried tons of volumizing treatments, regrowth shampoos, sulfate-free, sulfate-loaded, sprays, gels, mousses. None of them did me any favors.
The over the counter program is a shampoo, masque, and mousse. The products use hyaluronic acid to plump hair up and make it silky, thick, and glamorous. There is also a proprietary complex called Stemoxydine that helps "supply substance." And it smells suuuuuper classy.
I know this is a big claim, but I have never been happier with a hair product. My hair looked so bad before Densifique. It was like Aileen Wuornos on a bad day. (Afterthought: did Aileen Wuornos ever have a good hair day?)
In the past two months of knowing I have the diabeetus, my hair is starting to look, well, nice. I don't feel so embarrassingly ugly when I see pictures of myself.
It's been a rough road so far, but it's smoothing out. Pun intended.
Anyone else had the sads from hair loss? I feel your pain. Holler at me in the comments.

When Windows computer is accessible, you can run the ISO image file directly through virtual drive to refresh or reset Windows system. However, if your computer is locked, or there are some problems that lead to computer broke, you would need to burn the system file into a bootable USB or DVD that computer could boot from. Then you could successfully install or reinstall computer system.

Giving back to the NYC Bus Drivers
'Not only is the M15 line the second busiest in the nation, it is also a big part of our own daily commute. Witnessing the long hours and sometimes hectic atmosphere the M15 bus drivers experience is part of the reason we connected with the bus line and decided to do something to show our appreciation. On top of that, the line services over 16.5 million riders a year (a few of whom we interviewed), allowing for a shared experience [...] that, in a weird and wonderful way, bonds all of us,' says Showman.

The NYC M15 bus line in Manhattan is the second busiest route in the U.S., serving over 16.5 million people a year. The life of a M15 bus driver is not always easy, but a thank-you is a start towards a better appreciation for their efforts. As graduate design students at The School of Visual Arts, we wanted to express our gratitude by creating custom designed butt cushions to help soften the ride for M15 Bus Drivers. We also invited customers and bus drivers alike to visit our social network dedicated to the M15 line (iheartm15.com) where people can share their thank-yous and stories about their local bus commutes.

The way people interact online is becoming increasingly visual and plastic surgeons are now responding to a growing need for patients to look and feel great about themselves online.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 30, 2014
A recent news article reveals the undeniable connection between the impact of social media and increases in plastic surgery procedures. Many plastic surgeons are reporting that now more than ever, patients are seeking cosmetic procedures to improve the way they look online. This trend is becoming increasingly common among young people under the age of 30.
"From social media platforms to online dating sites, people of all ages are constantly sharing photos of themselves to the public. It's only natural that people want to look their best online," said plastic surgery expert Dr. Chasan.
The popularity of photo-sharing sites such as Instagram and Snapchat, not to mention the "selfie" trend, has caused many people to scrutinize their appearance more than usual. Many people are unsatisfied with the look of their aging skin, excess fat, or disproportionate features. This dissatisfaction increases when they view themselves in photographs that are shared across the internet.
"A photograph can often magnify skin and body imperfections. When we look at ourselves in photos, the awareness that others will be viewing the picture can increase our desire to change certain aspects of our appearance," explained Dr. Chasan.
At Ranch and Coast Plastic Surgery in San Diego, Dr. Chasan offers a variety of cosmetic procedures that allow patients to take control of how they appear online. For patients concerned with aging skin, innovative laser skin resurfacing treatments can improve the appearance of the skin by minimizing wrinkles, sun damage, and pigmentation. Patients who want to feel more confident about the way their body looks in pictures can enhance their midsection with a tummy tuck.
"The way people interact online is becoming increasingly visual and plastic surgeons are now responding to a growing need for patients to look and feel great about themselves online," stated Dr. Chasan.
Dr. Paul Chasan is a board-certified and nationally-recognized plastic surgeon who specializes in performing the most advanced cosmetic procedures for the face, body, and breast. At Ranch and Coast Plastic Surgery in Del Mar, Dr. Chasan is renowned for his exceptional work in facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck surgery. Regarded as an expert his field due to his extensive education and experience, Dr. Chasan has authored numerous publications and is often called upon by the media to discuss the latest techniques and trends in modern cosmetic surgery.

Guymon Chamber to bring first annual Duck Dash to Guymon
What's better than a fun day out with the family? How about a chance to win one of seven in a race for a total of $5,000 in prizes?
That's what the Guymon Chamber of Commerce is offering next month, along with fun events, food and vendors.
The premise starts with 1,000 plastic ducks, all numbered. Those ducks are set on a race, floating atop the water, and the first ducks across the finish line are the winners. However, you have to purchase one or more ducks to have a chance at the prize.
The race will take place Sept. 30 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Fowler Park in Guymon, but a few things have already been lined up. Food and craft vendors, a soccer tournament, a dunking booth and so much more will go down in a special fundraiser event that will benefit the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo.
You don't have to buy a duck to show up for the fun, but you can't win if you don't buy one.
"(We) want it to feel like… a block party. Have people just come out and have fun," Breeden said about the end of summer fun event.
Those interested in having a booth to offer an activity, sell items or offer food can contact Breeden at the Chamber of Commerce at (580)338-3376 or email email@example.com for more information.

KOTA KINABALU: Islam is a beautiful religion and does not teach fanaticism, terrorism, or promote extreme liberal ideologies.
Sabah Minister of Community Development and Consumer Affairs, Datuk Hajah Jainab Haji Ahmad Ayid, was speaking during opening the Women Rights Based on Islam Seminar at Sabah Federal Government Administration Auditorium Complex, this morning.
"This programme is important for family institutes because religious values can be instilled within us and applied in our daily life," she said.
Jainab also calls for parents to spend time with their children and uphold their familial responsibility, as well as to control their emotions when marital conflicts arise.
"We should avoid from doing physical harm to our spouse when we're angry, such as hitting the wife or husband when there is a conflict," she advised.
She also said religious teachings should have the highest priority as a guideline to lead families according to Islam.

Birthfather Support & Services
Birth fathers that are seeking support for an adoption plan or involvement with an adoption plan have access to adoption information and services. Many birth fathers are active participants in adoption planning. They understand that adoption is in the best interest of their baby and want to provide a social and medical history that will allow the child to have access to this information as needed or as they so choose. Being a part of the adoption plan can help birth fathers to feel confident and supported as they move through the process. Involvement with the planning for your child's future can allow for a child to have information about their birth father and to know of the love that was given to plan for their future.

How to Use Your Winch to Move a Log
Your winch can be used to move your Jeep, but it can also be used to move something that's blocking your Jeep. For example, you are out on the trail and you happen on a log blocking the trail. In this situation, you have four options:
Your first step is to assess the situation. The simplest option is to drag the log manually, so evaluate the possibility of that strategy first. If the log is wedged or pinned into place, you may need to cut it first, if you have the necessary tools. Before you fire up the chainsaw, though, take stock of what's holding the fallen tree in place. If you have to cut live trees to move the dead one, this isn't a viable option. Consider building a ramp instead. You may be able to use debris to create enough of an incline to hop over the log.
If those options aren't feasible, then your winch may indeed be the right solution. Remember these tips to complete the winching operation safely and effectively:
Know where you are. Parklands generally enforce rules about disturbing plant and animal life. You should know the rules of your area before you go out and tear up the trails. If you don't know the rules, at least use common sense. You'll want to complete the winching operation without destroying any small trees, seedlings, or plants.
Clear the area. Choose the path of least resistance for dragging the log, and keep everyone out of the way. Injuries can result from broken branches, a slipped choker chain, or a snapped winch rope.
Attach a choker chain to the dead log only. A choker chain is useful in this situation, because it will cinch around the log for a tight fit. If you need to attach your winch to a live tree, use a tree trunk protector strap.
Watch the winch line. Once you start winching, keep a close eye on the drum. This advice applies to all winching operations: don't let the winch line pile up unevenly on the drum. If you see this happening, stop the winch. You'll need to move your truck or Jeep slightly and rewind your cable before starting again.
If you don't have a choker chain, you can make your own. Head to the hardware store and purchase a high-grade, carbon steel chain. Grade 70 transport chain is an example. Select a size that is as strong as your winch. For example, 3/8" Grade 70 transport chain has been proof-tested to 13,200 lbs. and has a minimum breaking force of 26,500 lbs. This would be a strong enough to use with a WARN M12000 Self-Recovery Winch, which has a rated pulling capacity of 12,000 lbs. You can find chain specifications on the National Association of Chain Manufacturers website.

From Provo, Utah, USA:
I am 27 years old, have had type 1 diabetes for 16 years, and I am about 26 weeks pregnant with my third child. My blood sugar control is excellent (about 6.0% hemoglobin A1c), I had no complications with the previous pregnancies and am showing no complications again. I have also not seen any complications related to retinopathy, nephropathy, or neuropathy yet.
However, I periodically check for ketones in my morning urine,with my last pregnancy I started showing ketones (moderate to large) at about this time, and I am showing them again now. Since my blood sugars were in such good control, we determined the ketones were due to starvation ketosis and solved the problem by my eating a small snack in the middle of the night. If the ketones are due to starvation ketosis, how dangerous is this (isn't this a normal side-effect to the break-down of fat)? What are the possible side effects to me and to the fetus? Is it necessary to get up for a "midnight" snack to avoid the ketones?
As long as your blood sugar is in good control, the ketones in your urine should not be a problem and will not have an adverse effect on the fetus. This is a fairly common finding in pregnancy, but obviously of concern in the presence of diabetes.
I frequently recommend a bedtime snack for pregnant women taking insulin more to prevent early morning hypoglycemia. In your case, it may prevent the starvation ketosis.

Much of what is discussed within the digital marketing space tends to focus on getting the most out of digital to drive sales, enquiries and conversions.
And yet charities and non-profits are often overlooked by our industry writers when it comes to offering help in driving donations and building relationships with their stakeholders.
Over the past few weeks, Econsultancy has published a number of posts covering Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook and now I have five more general tips, put together as part of our recent digital training day for non-profits to help maximise their presence online.
Understand your audience
Getting a firm grasp on who your audience are and what you want to achieve is paramount to any digital campaign and potentially even more important within a cash strapped non-profit environment.
Understand existing donors by researching their interests, motivations and needs and help potential donors through their decision-making cycle by tailoring your approach at each stage to inform and guide them.
Remember, it is only through a solid knowledge and understanding of how people interact with your brand that you can even contemplate creating content compelling enough to get them to open their wallets.
To start, check out the data you already have, mining your existing analytics to understand who is visiting your site. Take great care to drill down into metrics such as keyword performance to identify intent, but also pay close attention to internal search, as this may offer clues about persona behaviour or missed content opportunities.
When searching for demographic data, look no further than social networks (and no... I don't mean Klout scores). People freely volunteer this information on social networks and tools such as Facebook Insights will give you a whole host of information about your existing community (who are likely visiting your website too).
Data such as age, gender, location and language is all available in seconds and tuned to your specific audience. Another fantastic tool is Demographics Pro which offers further detail again, but this time based on followers of your Twitter accounts.
For more information on using this data to help build marketing personas, Mike King gave a fantastic presentation at Pubcon which I highly recommend.
Possibly the most powerful weapons in any marketing arsenal are stories. There are plenty of charities in the UK and abroad that do some truly wonderful things and use these stories to create a connection with donors and offer a compelling argument to help the cause.
War Child UK does a fantastic job of this on its Facebook page by mixing up entertaining content with serious images portraying the brilliant charity work it does in warzones.
Use your data
Charities hold onto a surprising amount of data that is not only interesting but useful too. Information such as how money raised has helped beneficiaries, academic, scientific and market research, and the information created within booklets, leaflets and fact sheets for use offline can all be repurposed and put to use as part of a digital marketing campaign.
Macmillan does a brilliant job of this within its Pinterest board. Their cancer information board alone - where it displays a number of infographics with data and answers to FAQs directly relevant to their user base - has well over 400 followers.
Not only does this display information in an easy to digest format for their users, it also opens up the brand and it's data to a whole new format, marketing channel and audience.
Google Grants
Did you know that charities can get free PPC advertising spend with Google AdWords? Well, they can.
Google offers charities a fairly substantial gift in the form of Google Grants. Having been running for 10 years, the Google Grants scheme offers charities up to $10,000 (that's over £6000) of PPC advertising spend per month for free.
This opens up a whole new marketing channel for charities to target digital donors.
Steve Morgan recently wrote a fantastic roundup of Google Grants for Charities which covers the whole scope of the scheme from eligibility to tips on integrating with your digital marketing.
YouTube for non-profits
Non-profits have been engaging with YouTube for years, but it's still important to have a specific online video strategy that can influence viewers from being mere audience members to becoming donors.
Here Google come to the rescue again with the YouTube Non-Profit Program which provides extra benefits like branding capabilities, increased upload capacity and call-to-action overlays.
One key feature is Video Annotations which can be used to add interactive commentary to videos, and for charities and non-profits, they can be used to link to external sites helping to drive visitors to the donate page
Even better for non-profits is the call-to-action feature which allows you to drive donations through the YouTube video and channel themselves. You can see this in action via UNICEF UK's YouTube page and videos.
So there we have it. Five quick tips for non-profits to rock the digital age without having to spend the earth, but I'd be fascinated to hear your thoughts and experiences. Do you run a charity? How do you market yourselves online? Leave a message in the comments below and share your stories with us.

I would say a key consideration is not over posting/promoting.
Cancer Research's 'Dryathlon' (a ludicrous idea to begin with) severely overpromoted their idea and judging by some of the twitter and facebook comments i saw, caused alot of people to switch off.
good information! but yes at the same time over promoting the ideas as said above may also lead to wrong conclusions or judgement by the people as they may get a wrong impression or misunderstandings about the companies doing their job aggressively for just promotion.
All insightful, valid tips. If I had to add anything to this list, I would highlight the importance of investment in your digital/social strategy. Many charities are woefully behind on a critical means of communication and fundraising, leaving their rivals light years ahead.
If you are going to have an active account with every social network, ensure you have skilled people manning and monitoring those accounts outside of office hours. It's all very well linking to great content and driving traffic to your site, but Social is about having a conversation, not a monologue. Supporters who go ignored when they're seeking engagement won't be supporters for long.
I agree with both Michel and Tom. I think this aligns well with understanding the audience. Not just as customers but also the platform in which you are operating.
I also think Jo has hit the nail on the head. It's amazing how much money is spent on PR and Comms yet digital is left in the background as an afterthought. Our training day (that we are running today) hopes to show the worth in digital and point out places for improvement and investment.
Nice summary. Point 1 about understanding your supporters is key, especially if you can get clever about it and personalise the experience for them to make it relevant. Its really important to track and analyse your supporters actions and interests and make sure what you push to them is appropriate.
The recent Sitecore blog mentions a good example - someone who has just given up a week of evenings volunteering or has just made a big donation might feel a bit put out my a marketing email asking for more money.
This is something we are definitely planning to do more of for our charities.
Good article, however it would be good to know more about how you think charities can use the personas for SEO...standard keyword strategies don't quite apply...
I wasn't aware that charities could get grants for their PPC. More good news for charities!
Charities are difficult wrap your head around since they aren't profit driven so you can't really entice 'customers' with freebies.
The marketing company I work for have a non-profit organisation they are trying to market. The trouble is that they have such a small budget that we can't use shortcuts like PPC and promoted posts on social media.
We found that creating conversations with people on social networks Facebook and Twitter as being one of the best ways to get traffic. The article has shown a great example of Pinterest being used effectively - I love the use of infographics and I'm sure others do as well. REMEMBER, you can borrow data from others instead of spending money on creating your own.
I agree with your last point Nahida. There are some great sources of data that can be made into infographics (only if worthwhile to the audience though).
Den - I think it's time we as digital marketers stepped away from seeing our audiences, customers and clients as keywords. Understand who your stakeholders are and what influences them and your keyword research suddenly become a lot less important.

We enjoyed a wonderful week here in the middle of our holiday in Austria and it was really the highlight. Very conveniently located in proximity to a number of villages with great places to eat and enjoy the lake and mountains. Despite the ease of access, the house is very quietly situated and cool in the hot summer when we stayed. The attention to detail is great and you always feel very well cared for if any questions arise. Unlike many homes where one is constantly needing little purchase items to enjoy ones stay (e.g. charcoal for the BBQ, serviettes or paper plates) everything is there and ready to be used. A luxury! A lovely Sauna caps the experience.
My husband and I stayed in Inge and Susanne's guest house for 2 weeks as part of our European honeymoon. It was absolutely divine! We couldn't believe how stunning the whole property was, and all the inclusions. Inge and Susanne were also extremely lovely, making special effort to welcome us in comfort and communication was great!
The house provided us with tranquility and seclusion, even on rainy days there was no problem having a great time relaxing or using the sauna inside. Space is no issue!
Downstairs we did a lot of cooking in the small kitchenette. It is small, but completely adequate for a long stay. Everything you need is provided, inc. a great pod coffee machine and decent sized fridge. A large dining room, which we used a lot for long breakfast' under the sky lights. The bathroom is medium in size with half of it being just the shower, which was awesome! (no laundry) No problems with hot water and heated tiles for those colder nights. One small comment, we would have liked some extra towels for the longer stay, but not a big problem at all. Upstairs is heavenly. Surrounded by open windows with views entirely of the surrounding forest, every morning was breathe taking as we woke in the very comfortable four poster bed. There is ample space to relax in the living space also. The upstairs has an exit point which leads down to the adorable log cabin complete with easy-to-use BBQ by the creek. We spent a lot of time here, BBQing on the warmer days, reading on the sun chairs and porch area and cosying up inside at night. Susanne also gave us insect repellant which came in handy! There was wi-fi provided which was helpful. The range was better upstairs than down but we weren't using internet very much with so much else to occupy our stay.
There's nothing not to love about this property!
Also worth mentioning is a horse riding academy close by where we had a lesson (thanks to Susanne's help in booking!) Really great for both of us as beginners. Obviously the beautiful lake at your doorstep with a public beach area just a 10min bike ride away, bikes provided with booking. Restaurant Moser was great for local eat of fresh Traunsee fish. And definitely worth a visit if you like finer food is the restaurant Hollerwirt, very close by. Our experience here was second to none. The head chef was most accommodating and all the produce is local, making the food absolutely exceptional!
Overall I HIGHLY recommend staying!!
This was a gem of a find on my husband's part (and he did an extensive amount of research not only on HomeAway, but many other sites--so let me spare you the extra work in finding the perfect place with this review).
Our stay in this beautiful and charming home quickly made its way to being the highlight of our honeymoon. Not only are you surrounded be an enchanting forest and creek, tucked away from the (very little) activity of Altmuenster; you get to retreat to a regal, palacial bedroom found by winding the spiral staircase from the main entryway near the sauna, large bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen, and look out into the woods after a lovely day of hiking, visiting beaches of incomparable beauty (and we live in California!), or any of the many other activities available in this paradise. To be honest, as much as my husband and I love the outdoors, we would find ourselves looking forward to getting back to our 'palace' at the end of each day.
The owner, Inge, was incredibly kind and generous, having gone out of her way to prepare the home and the additional log cabin, as well as the elegant dining room lodge (yes--all part of the package!) with gifts of welcome in both food and drink, which were not even part of the agreement. When we asked her about places to visit, she went out of her way to make sure we were able to find the places and get there, one of which was the beautiful beach at Langbathsee. We have never encountered such hospitality, which together with outstanding and unforgettable accomodations made our honeymoon here a magical retreat.
Our experience was so rich that we have kept in touch with Inge and her family since. You will not regret this stay! It was worth so much more than what we paid. Having stayed in many top-notch hotels in the United States, we have seen exquisite quality, but this is still our favorite.
Wir sind eine vierköpfige Familie und waren im Sommer 2018 in der Unterkunft und haben die Zeit sehr genossen.
Nicht nur die geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft, sondern auch der weitläufige Außenbereich und die tolle Lage am Traunsee machen die Unterkunft zu einem Geheimtipp.
Familie Metka hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen, sodaß wir uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Nochmals Danke für den tollen Kuchen. Wir kommen sicher wieder.
Das Haus ist genau wie geschrieben aber was uns beeindrückt hat war der herzlichen Emfang und die Empfhelungen für Restaurant , Besichtigung oder heimische Konditorei. Es war ein sehr schöne Urlaub in der Region mit Wandern , Seefahrt , Schwimmen , Spazieren am See , Museen und sehr gut gegessen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen und wir waren nicht letztes Mal da. Viele Grüße

text: After installing 6.1 on my Sig P85 the homelink garage door didn't work any more. The icon would show up at home, but touching it would not open the door. I figured that it had just "forgotten", so I deleted it and tried to re-add it. Now, when re-adding it, it just sits there, and never learns the remote: meaning, I invoke the learning mode, go to the front of the car and press the garage door button on the remote, but it never flashes the lights indicating that it's learned the code. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this trouble, or if it's specific to my car. Any thoughts are appreciated.

'Mad Men' Xerox Machine to Return for Third Season
Copy-machine fans can breath a sigh of relief.
While speculation continues over Matthew Weiner's probable return for a third season of Mad Men, copy-machine fans can rest easy today: Xerox has agreed to extend the loan on the show's 914 — the world's first fully automated, plain-paper copier, which originally debuted in 1960 — for another year. One suspects it will remain in Peggy's old office, but we await further confirmation. [Rochester Democrat & Chronicle]

The goal of this program is to take the guesswork and trial and error out of figuring out how to best customize the camera for your way of shooting.
Using his own images as examples, John will share his tips and preferred settings for specific shooting situations.
Topics Covered
- Camera Layout & Menu Overview
- Focusing Options
- Customizing Controls
- Setting User Profiles for specific situations.
- WiFi Set Up
- Understanding Video settings
- Recommended Accessories and Product Road Map
- Image review and Lightroom Settings
All Leica Akademie workshops provide a combination of lecture and hands-on experiential learning and the SL Intensive is no different. Following a comprehensive overview of the controls of the SL and review of recommended settings, we will put theory into practice by venturing out on a shoot in the local area, giving you the chance to acquire expert advice while in the field – expanding your skills, working techniques and confidence while shooting.
On day two we will continue to shoot on-location, exploring individual field assignments customized to your interest or desired areas of improvement. The afternoon will include a presentation on the SL's video capabilities. No workshop, on the SL would be complete without a review of student images in Lightroom.

The Landmark Studio for the Arts was originally started as a theater group called "The WV Hillbilly Players" in 1978. In 1988 friends and members of the Players (Bill Hopen and Olga Gioulis) purchased the church building. The building orginally was the Episcopal Church in 1886 and still has the original stained glass windows and woodwork. Since 1978, over 130 productions have graced our stage.
The mission of the Landmark is to provide a venue for art and cultural events in Sutton that can be enjoyed be all citizens of the county and surrounding areas. Whenever possible, in cooperation with the schools, we have endeavored to present programs to enrich our children, both in school and on our stage. We also seek to support and promote regional artist and provide them with space to exhibit.
Our Board Members
Olga Gioulis, Secretary
Olga is a founding member of the Landmark since 1988. She has been in a number of musicals and dramas over the years, has acted as President, Treasurer and Secretary. She has helped write grants and raise funds to present programs and to restore the facility. She says "I strongly believe in the Landmark's mission to promote the arts and culture in our community and youth. The arts build critical thinking skills and develop self esteem, confidence, and language skills." Olga is a licensed psychologist at her day job. She is the mother of two wonderful adults who grew up on the Landmark's stage and the grandmother of three sweeties.
Chris Allen, Treasurer
After graduating from WVU with a degree in Retailing/Marketing I realized the retail market was not for me. For the last 30 years I have worked as a Paralegal for the Law Firm Barth & Thompson in Charleston. I got involved with the Landmark when asked to play a bit part in The Rose Tattoo and haven't looked back. Due to "stage fright" I turned to directing 1996 and love to do comedies. My present position on the Landmark Studio's board is Treasurer, after holding that post with the Landmark Players before the two organizations merged. I am fortunate that my husband Rick is my set builder along with my two great sons, Zack and Kyle.
Paula Seal
As a resident of Sutton for thirty-five years, I have always supported The Landmark and the fine arts programs. As a first grade teacher for thirty-three years, I incorporated music and drama as very important parts of my curriculum. The arts provide a different avenue for students to express themselves and make all education more relevant. Braxton County is fortunate to have a local program that has been sustained for many years by caring people. I am honored to be a part of The Landmark to assist in the maintenance and advancement of the arts for Braxton County.
David McChesney
I have been a supporter of the Landmark since its beginnings as the Hillbilly Players. The Landmark is one of the special things that adds to quality of life in Braxton county. You'll find me in the audience and background applauding our excellent productions. This is my second time on the Landmark Board and I hope to help the Landmark to continue to grow and prosper. As a retired school administrator, I bring 30 plus years of experience as a member of the school and county community.
Jamie Jarvis
Jamie is no stranger to the Landmark, but is new to the Landmark Board. Jamie is a graduate of Alderson Broaddus University and was a member of its premier touring ensemble "The West Virginians." While touring Jamie performed over 700 shows during his tenure at the school. Jamie has performed at a number of places and has also been employed in Entertainment at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. Jamie is thrilled to be a member of the board and a performer at the theater he calls home.
Rebecca Conrad
Rebecca's passion for theatre began at the young age of 12 years old. Working off stage and on throughout her middle and high school career, she never thought it would be such a big part of her life as an adult. After high school, she got married and started having kids. In 2001 Rebecca relocated from New York to Sutton WV where she would make a home and become actively involved in her community, including the Landmark. Her first performance at the Landmark was in 2005 where she played a small role in Huckleberry Finn. After that performance, Rebecca wanted to take a different approach to community theater and be a part of introducing the Arts to the youth in our community. Having come from a school with opportunities for anyone, she felt she owed the kids of our community something they are not offered in their own school system. She paired up with former board member and YTP (Youth Theater Program) director and assisted for almost 3 years with the Landmark Youth helping with workshops, productions and theatre competitions. After the demise of the YTP program, Rebecca found herself back on stage as well as involved as a board member. That not being enough for her, and having kids of her own with a passion for theatre, Rebecca felt the Landmark needed to bring back a program for the youth in our community to experience the Arts. In 2012 She developed the now existing LYTE program (Landmark Youth Theatre Ensemble). Rebecca maintains her position as LYTE director, producing up to 2 LYTE productions a year while serving as a board of director, actor, and volunteer to the Landmark.

Early Childhood Education
Many of a child's formative educational experiences take place before he or she steps into a kindergarten classroom. After all, the research shows that 85 percent of brain development happens before age five.
For parents, that means one of the first big decisions is selecting the right early learning experience for their child. The Maine Department of Education and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) partner to oversee an array of early learning experiences that prepare children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
- Choosing Child Care. Maine DHHS offers parents tips on choosing the right child care and early learning arrangements for their children.
- Public Preschool. A growing number of Maine's public schools are offering public preschool programs, introducing young learners to the school environment before they begin kindergarten.
- Child Development Services (CDS). CDS provides early intervention and special education services to children with disabilities from birth to age five. The CDS system consists of nine regional sites that provide services directly or arrange for the provision of services to children in their respective regions.
- Early Learning in Maine. Maine DOE and DHHS have laid the groundwork for coordinated management of the variety of early learning and development programs they oversee through the State Agency Interdepartmental Early Learning team (SAIEL).
- Head Start. Head Start, administered in Maine by DHHS, offers early childhood education for young children whose families meet federal poverty guidelines.
- Maine Children's Growth Council. The Children's Growth Council is a State body working with policymakers, parents, educators, community leaders and others to build a unified state system for providing early learning services.
- Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge. Maine's application for the federal Race to the Top Early Learning grant articulates a blueprint for the future of early learning in Maine.

My kids and I started a small garden this year – it's a fun way for us to get family Read More »
I'm preparing for a cross-country flight (7+ hours just in a plane!) with my four sons, including my youngest who Read More »
This pretty flower box would make great wedding decor or look lovely on your own dining room table. Next time I have a painting project, I'm definitely going to save the old paint stirrers. The Wedding Chicks suggest using new paint sticks for this tute, but you could totally go with used ones. Just sand them down, and use paint instead of stain to give them a uniform look. Boom! The materials list below has options for either method.
My son loves to color. LOVES. But his little toddler hands are not great at getting his crayons back into the box when he's done. Honestly, I sometimes have a hard time getting that last crayon into the box. The planets basically have to align to get every single one to fit back in. That means he's not as willing to clean up after coloring with crayons, so instead they roll all over the place.
Store-bought linen sprays – think Febreeze – are expensive and full of toxic, artificial fragrances. Clear the air with a homemade linen spray instead! Kelly Dixon from Smart Schoolhouse shared this simple tute at She Knows, and I can't wait to mix up my own bottle.
I didn't really understand the point of a tree skirt until a few years ago, when my husband and I started doing the real Christmas tree thing. I used to think of tree skirts as just one more thing that you had to store, pull out, and maintain for the holidays. Until my floor was basically made of pine needles. Now I get it! But I still believe that you shouldn't spend more time making a tree skirt than you do trimming your tree. These quick and easy tree skirts come together in a flash. There are lots of no-sew options on this list, so don't think that only seamstresses can have homemade tree skirts!
I love washi tape almost as much as I love old school video game nostalgia. This pixelated washi tape wall art over at A Beautiful Mess has me full of 8-bit nostalgia. And all that you need to make it are washi tape and cutting supplies. Laura shows you how to lay out a grid to make the heart, and you could really use that technique to plan out all kinds of cool pixelated designs.
Metallic and glitter branches are super hip for holiday decorating this year, but they are super expensive. If this blustery fall has downed any small tree branches around your neighborhood, snatch them up and turn them into sparkly branches that perfectly match your holiday decor color scheme. Diane Henkler at Momtastic shares a simple tute for making your own, custom sparkly branches from fallen branches you collect. A recycled money-saver that looks beautiful!
Do you always forget your reusable grocery bags in the car or at home? A fold away grocery bag tucks away small, so you can keep one stashed in your purse at all times. No more bag forgetting! You can buy fold away grocery bags, but you can use some stash fabric and make your own on the cheap instead. Cocojude has you covered with a simple tutorial. The bag tucks right into a small holder that's attached, so you'll never lose it.
Thanksgiving is just over a week away. If you're still working out your tablescape and decorations, these free Thanksgiving printables can help you pull together something sweet on the cheap and do it in a flash.

Another amazing bamboo discovery: bamboo hair products! Bamboo is an amazing plant that can be used for such a wide variety of purposes. It can be used for wood floors, building materials, clothing, bamboo linens, warm fuzzy blankets and apparently bamboo hair products as well!
Product review of ALTERNA bamboo hair products
I was recently gifted this travel kit that came with 4 mini sized bamboo hair products. Since I love bamboo as an alternative to cotton and am a firm believer that bamboo production is not harmful to the environment I was very excited to try these products out! They even came in this little bamboo case.
Bamboo hair products that strengthen and protect
Bamboo anti-frizz shampoo
The shampoo contains organic bamboo extract that is proven to strengthen each strand of hair and keep it extra healthy. It also contains Kendi oil that repairs and protects damaged hair. Another added bonus is that it does not contain any harmful chemicals like parabens or sulfates that other typical shampoos are full of. After using this shampoo my hair felt clean, smooth and noticeably less brittle.
Bamboo anti-frizz conditioner
I applied the bamboo conditioner as directed after shampooing and removing any excess water from my hair. I'm glad I followed the instructions because I felt like the moisturizing conditioner was able to permeate my hair much better this way. The anti-frizz conditioner also contains organic bamboo extract and Kendi oil giving your hair extra strength and protection. After using both the shampoo and conditioner I noticed that my hair still had some frizz, so I would have liked to see them deliver more in that area, but I still feel that they are quality products.
Kendi pure treatment oil
The Kendi oil can be used in two different ways. The first only requires a tiny drop of the oil. A little really goes a long way! I squeezed a drop into my palm and rubbed my hands together and then smoothed my damp hair with my hands mainly focusing on the dry ends. The oil was immediately absorbed into my hair so it wasn't left feeling greasy at all. For additional hair treatment you can apply more oil to your dry hair and leave it in for 10 minutes before rinsing it out. I have yet to try this method, but am sure it would only exemplify the results of softer, healthier looking hair!
Anti-humidity hair spray
I typically like to avoid hairspray when I can mainly because after spraying it I want to pass out from inhaling all of the toxic ingredients. I was comforted to find out that the Bamboo Smooth Anti-Humidity Hair Spray is also free of parabens, sulfates and petrolatum. It uses organic bamboo extract and Kendi Oil to smooth and the hair and eliminate the nasty effects of humidity.
Overall I have to say I was impressed that bamboo hair products could be so effective and make my hair feel so good. Plus the fragrance of the products left my hair smelling like I had just had my hair done at a professional salon. After using bamboo hair products I'm interested to find out if there are other beauty products that use bamboo ingredients. I'm definitely on the lookout and would love to try any other bamboo products out there!

Today, while walking to class at the AFC, I walked past the pond. Off the path, something caught my eye…
See anything off about this?
Here's a closer look…
See that? That is NOT a real rock. That is plastic. I just found something so completely jarring about the idea of plasticized "nature". Google to the rescue! Why would someone decide to use such a strange device?
From Brookstone Gifts:
"Faux rocks beautify your yard as they cover unsightly pumps, utility boxes, vents and other devices. Our lightweight decorative hollow artificial rocks are easy to use and versatile. Place one of these mock rocks over wells, pumps, septic system outtake pipes, valves, vents, utility boxes and other unsightly objects in your yard. Surround your artificial rocks with grass or shrubs for natural camouflage that blends into your landscaping."
There is so much wrong with the above paragraph.
"Beautify"? REALLY? I'm finding nothing beautiful or natural about a plastic rock in an outdoor setting.
As the paragraph itself states, one can easily accomplish the same goal using grass, shrubs, etc to hide whatever it is that one wants hidden. This is all just so strange.
Along those same lines, something that has bothered me all year long is the amount of effort Chatham and surrounding houses (particularly those on Woodland Road and its various branches) put into their "beautification". We all love to see our beautiful campus, but really, does the grass need to be mowed weekly? How much energy is this wasting on our supposedly environmentally-friendly campus?

Harriet Nahanee
Harriet Nahanee also known as Tseybayotl[1] (December 7, 1935[2] – February 24, 2007) was an Indigenous rights activist, residential school alumnus, and environmental activist. She was born in British Columbia, Canada. She comes from the Pacheedaht who are part of the Nuu-chah-nulth, Indigenous peoples from the Vancouver Island. As a child, Nahanee attended both Ahousaht Residential School and Alberni Residential School, and would later testify about the horrible treatment she received there. She married into the Squamish (Sḵwxwú7mesh).
Harriet was sentenced to two weeks in a provincial jail in January 2007 for criminal contempt of court for her part in the Sea-to-Sky Highway expansion protest at Eagleridge Bluffs.[3] She was then hospitalized with pneumonia a week after her release from the jail, at which time doctors discovered she had lung cancer. She died of pneumonia and complications at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver on February 24, one month after her original sentencing.[3][4]
Nahanee had been weak from the flu and asthma in January, and it was widely suspected that Nahanee's condition worsened during her incarceration at the Surrey Pre-Trial Centre.[3] An independent public inquiry into her death was called for in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on March 5. Solicitor-General John Les said the provincial government expressed regret for the passing but denied any government responsibility and refused opposition requests for an inquiry.[5]
|What I would like to see is people with [traditional] knowledge to teach the small, little people how to grow up with pride. This generation is lost. My generation is lost − they're assimilated. They don't think like an Indian. What I'd like to see is our five-year-olds being taught their language, their songs, their games, their spirituality, their Indian, eh, their Indian-ness. I'd like to ask all the people out there to reclaim their culture − practice it, teach the children, and let's reclaim our backbone, our culture and put some pride in our children.[2]

A land and sea of mystery and enchantment… and my home for 7 of the last 10 days … sort of.
I enjoyed the hospitality of the Explorer Ventures Turks and Caicos live-aboard.
And its considered "Caribbean" even though its in the North Atlantic … its just one of myriad contradictions in the tropical region.
It matters how you define "Caribbean" – if we talk about it geologically it involves the Caribbean Plate which has the Cocos Plate to the West subducting beneath it causing the isthmus to form as Central America. To the East the Crust surface of the Atlantic Ocean is being subducted creating a string of volcanic islands from Montserrat to Grenada. To the North and South the American plates has slip-strike tectonic interactions causing earthquakes like the one in Haiti.
From an aquatic viewpoint its pretty clear… the Caribbean Sea is bordered by Central America from the Yucatan peninsula to Columbia and Venezuela in South American. The Greater and Lesser Antilles establish the border between the North Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. Most Caribbean Islands have a Caribbean side and an ocean side. (Cuba also has coastline on the Gulf of Mexico and Jamaica and the Caymans are completely within the Caribbean.)
But this is where the screwiness starts. First these island names — Antilles– It was not easy to track them down etymologically… it turns out they are named from a Middle English word for a mythical land to the west of Europe. – Essentially Atlantis..
These islands are also called- collectively the Indies or the West Indies – This is, of course, a throwback to the late 15th Century when Columbus thought he'd found a western route to India.
So the island groups are either named wrong… or named for a mythical place from the 13th Century. The Greater Antilles – just as an FYI – Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico make up 90 % of the land mass of the Caribbean islands (geographically the tiny Cayman islands are usually included with them) The Lesser Antilles are all the small islands that form the outer reaches of the Caribbean Sea.
Which brings us to the true lunacy of the political arena… The Caribbean Federation includes all of these true Caribbean nations plus Barbados which is out of line with the rest of the Windward Antilles- so technically in the Atlantic and the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos — which are totally in the North Atlantic just north of the Greater Antilles… and all of Central America – including the entirely Pacific coastal El Salvador… and Bermuda … yes Bermuda is considered politically a part of "the Caribbean". Its nearly 1,000 miles from the Bahamas … 1500 miles from Cuba … All of Florida is closer to the Caribbean than Bermuda.
And this brings us to the Caribs — of the Caribbean region… They were a relatively small but warlike people who had made their way into the western Windward Antilles… only as far back as about 1200 CE – they had been beating up the Tainos on these islands for fewer than 300 years before Columbus showed up.
Beside the Sea and the Islands and the political union, the Carib gave us the English word for cannibal. Cannibalism vastly pre-dated European exploration of North America, but the Carib word for themselves "karibna" works its way to cannibal after stories (they may not have been true) were circulated that the Carib would eat their enemies after battle.
In 1503, Queen Isabella proclaimed that only people whose lives would be improved by slavery could be enslaved. Clearly cannibals fell into that category, so the stories 'may' have been circulated to allow for enslaving them.
