Spread the LOVE this month!
Post this to the people you love!
You've been hugged!
Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!
You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!
If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!
If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends
If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)
If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.
If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!

I came from the forest and there I saw a man
He had red clothes on. His beard was white and his belly was fat.
He was very nice and told me
"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
I found this very sweet, and thought to myself "I bring these nice words you too."
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

And now I wonder wether this would be the first time,... I hope not, haha.
I just remembered I've drawn Hayato from KHR after having seen a drawing of him on TheO. So I went looking for him in my room. I won't post Hayato (it looks like his head is going to fall off from his body). And there's even another guy I've drawn!! O__O
I thought I never draw anime guys, but it seems like I'm wrong and it seems like my memory isn't that good. Kehehe...

(Reuters) - Mike Mullen, a retired admiral and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will join Sprint's board and serve as the company's security director if a deal with Japan's SoftBank Corp closes, Sprint said on Friday.
As part of a U.S. government review of their proposed deal, Sprint and SoftBank signed a National Security Agreement that includes board oversight of security issues. Other companies that have had such arrangements have historically opted for former military officers as well.

Ceredigion's first solar park given the go-ahead
Controversial plans to build Ceredigion's first solar farm have been given the go-ahead by council planners.
More than 24,000 panels will be installed by Elgin Energy on a 42-acre (17 hectares) site at Blaenporth, north of Cardigan.
Opponents argued against the scale of the proposal and said it would open the door to similar projects in the area.
And a nearby airport has reservations because of fears that pilots could be affected by glare caused by the panels.
Barrie Foster, manager of West Wales Airport based 1.3 miles (2.1km) from the solar farm, said he had asked planners for assurances that Elgin Energy would take action if there was a problem caused by glint and glare.
"We did not object to the proposal but wanted to safeguard that pilots will not be affected by glare from the solar farm in the future," he said.
He added that the Civil Aviation Authority had not produced solar panel guidelines yet.
"The farm is directly under the pilot's visual circuit and at the end of the down-leg turn there would be a possibility of glint for pilots," he said.
Gill Chillery was one of 15 householders living near the site of the solar farm who objected to the proposals.
"I live nearest the site and I will have to endure looking at the site from two sides of my house," she said.
1,700 homes
"The initial plans had the panels six feet from my window but they have now agreed to move them 25 metres away.
"Nevertheless, they will still be visible and affect the value of my home."
The solar farm will produce enough energy for about 1,700 homes.
The land on which the site will be built is owned by local farmer and builder, Huw Kurys, who said the farm could be up and running by the end of next summer.
He added that the site would consist of nine adjoining four-acre fields (1.6 hectares) that would not have their hedges removed.
"Sheep will still be able to graze the land because the solar panel rows will be six metres apart," he said.
Dafydd Williams, of Mango Planning and Development, the agents for applicants Elgin Energy, said three reports had been conducted into the effect of glint and glare on aviation.
"Every report concluded that there is no risk to aviation," he said.

A simple explanation of how Bing and Google pay per click advertising works is that you are buying PPC ads to be displayed at the top of search engine listing results. In essence, you buy (pay for) the traffic that visits your website when they click on your PPC ad instead of attracting visitor traffic naturally to your website through organic rankings on the search engines.

How to Do Pay Per Click Advertising
Whether you choose to use Bing Ads or advertise with Google AdWords, the following offers a brief explanation of how PPC advertising works and how pay per click ad campaigns are billed:
- The first step in PPC advertising is keyword research to understand what terms people are using
- Next, choose the best PPC keywords you want to bid on to represent your products or service
- Then set the bid amount for each specific target keyword – what is the maximum amount you are willing to pay for each person who clicks on your PPC ad
- Write relevant and engaging PPC ad copy to entice visitors to click on your ad
- Create a PPC landing page or link your PPC advertising to an existing landing page on your website that is most relevant to the search request
- Post your ad so the PPC Platform can start showing your PPC ad in the search results
- Develop a list of keyword variations (negative keywords) you don't want your ads showing up for
- Use PPC analytics to track your PPC visitor activity on your website
- Adjust your PPC advertising copy and ad spend as necessary to improve performance and click through rates
Where your PPC ad ranks (where it's placed in the search results) will depend on your quality score and how high your PPC bid amount is in comparison to competitor PPC ads targeting the same keyword phrases.
How Much Does Pay Per Click Cost?
Instead of asking how much is pay per click, website owners need to determine how much they are willing to pay for traffic or leads. Basically, the more you are willing to spend the more frequently and prominently your PPC ads (sponsored links) will be displayed. If your pay per click advertising efforts are successful and you are the highest bidder, you will be rewarded with the top listing in the "paid" or "sponsored" listing results, which are usually listed first, above the organic listing results on pay per click search engines.
How Effective Is Pay Per Click Advertising?
It does take some time and effort to learn how to use pay per click effectively and PPC advertising does have its advantages. Every time someone "clicks through" on your "paid link" you pay up to the bid amount that you originally set but your ad copy and bid amounts may need to be continually adjusted to maintain the top listings you want. Using PPC analytics, we can measure your results and adjust your pay per click advertising to improve ad performance and increase your ROI.
Is Pay Per Click Advertising Worth It?
This is a question that can only be answered by you. Poorly run pay per click advertising campaigns can sometimes mean overbidding for keyword terms or bidding on keywords that don't convert. We recommend investing in our expert pay per click management services to help understand how much to bid, what keyword phrases to bid on, when and who your ad should be shown to, what your ad should say, and what landing page the visitor should see when someone clicks through to your website.
How PPC Can Help SEO
When properly configured and monitored your PPC advertising campaign will become an essential supplement to your organic search engine optimization strategies.
Website search engine optimization is a long term strategy that improves the quality of your website while improving your website performance and visibility in the search engines. In general, SEO friendly websites that are well optimized often sustain their top rankings over the long term.
We recommend using pay per click advertising for fast short term results while your SEO strategy is being implemented. Your PPC can also be used to fill gaps or promotions that run short term or are seasonal.

American International Group Inc.'s (AIG) payments to banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. after the insurer's bailout are being probed by the chief watchdog of the U.S. financial rescue program.
Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP, has opened an audit into whether there were attempts made by New York-based AIG or the government to reduce the payments, according to an April 3 letter he wrote to Representative Elijah Cummings. The Maryland Democrat had requested the probe last month along with 26 other lawmakers.

(WMT) Walmart Stores Get New Fuel Stations
Retail giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) recently inked an agreement with Murphy USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR), wherein Murphy USA will build fuel stations at 200 Wal-Mart stores in the Midwest and Southeast United States.
Murphy USA is a retail marketing gasoline station in the parking lots of Wal-Mart Supercenters and at stand-alone locations in the United States.
The new fuel stations are expected to increase traffic in the Walmart stores of the region. With this agreement with Walmart, Murphy Oil aims to strive toward spinning off the gas station business, Murphy USA. The company plans to convert the business into its own separate publicly traded company.
Earlier, in a separate development, Walmart and Murphy USA executed the Great Gas Rollback program, helping customers save on their fuel purchases. Walmart customers using a Walmart gift card received a 10 cent per gallon discount while customers using Walmart MoneyCard or Walmart credit card got a 15 cents per gallon discount on their fuel purchase. The discount, which was valid from August 31 to December 24, was available across all Murphy USA gas stations located in Wal-Mart supercenters.
Walmart has 8,500 stores in 15 countries, under 55 different names. Walmart also continues to expand internationally and in the emerging markets through accretive acquisitions and opening new stores.
However, Walmart, which competes against Target Corporation (TGT), needs to be more careful as customers seek discounts on items to curb expenses. Currently, we have a Neutral recommendation on the stock. Wal-Mart carries a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating).

"In an age when even the advertising and entertainm to ent industries have learned to tailor their services ... something as personal and important as childcare is expected to be almost intuitively in-tune with the needs of families."
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 13, 2014
"Our children are the reason why we work and the spark that pushes us to innovate and succeed," said Joe Ferriolo, director of Wise Business Plans (http://www.wisebusinessplans.com), which provides customized plans for new and expanding businesses. "Safe, dependable childcare will always be a necessity."
However, he said, like every other industry, child care is being drawn into the current customization trend, and consumers are seeking options that flex around their lifestyles.
"In an age when even the advertising and entertainment industries have learned to tailor their services to fit the needs of smaller groups and provide an individualized experience for consumers, something as personal and important as childcare is expected to be almost intuitively in-tune with the needs of families," he said. "While this kind of flexibility and personalized business practices can pay off in the long run, they take careful planning to get off the ground."
Market demographics are of supreme importance to the childcare industry, he said, and having the most up-to-date research is crucial -- something Wise provides to all clients.
"We want to help all our clients find success," he said. "But we have a soft spot for people who care for children. These business owners have committed themselves to protecting our greatest treasure -- our future -- and so we have also committed ourselves, to helping them succeed."

Fishermen find sisters under blanket after crash
How did two fishermen find sisters on the side of a road early in the morning in Oregon? One saw a notch in a tree and his first responder instincts kicked in, allowing the fishermen to find the sisters, cold and alone after their mother crashed their vehicle and died earlier that morning.
Associated Press
Portland, Ore.
A 4-year-old Oregon girl dragged her seriously injured younger sister from a car crash that killed their mother. With the mangled car stuck deep in the woods, and no skid marks on the highway, the crash site was nearly impossible to detect and the girl huddled with her sister under a blanket – and waited.
"She saved her sister," said Kraai McClure one of two fishermen who discovered the crash site on a hunch after noticing a gash in a tree along State Highway 402 between Astoria, Ore., and Naselle, Wash. "She was sharp enough. I don't know how she did it or anything else, but something was watching over those little girls."
Authorities estimate the sisters were alone in the frigid woods for several hours early Wednesday as many motorists drove past the hidden wreck.
The girls finally got help after two commercial fishermen spotted what appeared from a distance to be a basketball-sized gash in an alder tree along State Highway 401 between Astoria, Ore., and Naselle, Wash. Mr. McClure and Scott Beutler travel the two-lane road frequently, and had a gut feeling something was wrong.
The men slowed down, discussed the situation, and decided to turn around and go take a look. McClure said he called 911 to see if there had been any reports of a wreck during the night. There weren't.
Mr. Beutler, who was a first responder when he lived in Mississippi, went into the brush and signaled McClure to alert authorities.
"I don't know exactly what told us to turn around, but I'm just really thankful we did," McClure said Thursday.
The men spotted the wrecked car a few hundred feet from the road. Nearby were the two young girls, scared and confused. "They could say their names but were totally in shock," McClure said.
The Washington State Patrol said the girls' mother, 26-year-old Jessica Rath of Astoria, probably was asleep when she veered off the road and struck the tree shortly after midnight. She died at the scene.
McClure and Beutler discovered the crash site around 8:30 a.m.
The 2-year-old, who had serious leg injuries, was flown to a Portland hospital. The 4-year-old was treated at an Astoria hospital and released.
An Oregon Health & Science University spokeswoman confirmed that the younger sister, Lylah Huff, was at Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The girls' father, Keaton Huff, declined interview requests Thursday and asked the hospital not to release his daughter's condition.
Trooper Russ Winger said investigators believe the 4-year-old, Aryanna Huff, pulled her sister from the vehicle and helped her to a spot about 20 feet away, where the fishermen found them. Winger said keeping warm with the blanket was vital with temperatures in the low 40s.
"Hypothermia sets in very quickly with something like that," Winger said. "They could have very well not been found and died of exposure."
Winger described the fishermen as heroes for acting on their hunch. McClure, however, gave the credit to Aryanna for helping Lylah out of the car and keeping her warm.
"She saved her sister," McClure said. "She was sharp enough. I don't know how she did it or anything else, but something was watching over those little girls."
"It was amazing that the little 4-year-old — I have a little 4-year-old, too, she's almost 5 — was able to get her little sister out and do that," he added. "It just blows my mind that she could do that in that situation. I don't know if she waited until morning, when they could see, but, you know, it just makes me want to cry."
Winger said investigators have yet to determine how fast Rath was driving, or whether there were any other factors in the crash. The crime blotter in the Jan. 26 edition of The Longview Daily News indicates Rath was sentenced to 10 days in jail for heroin possession and third-degree theft.

Plymouth wedding photographerLee and Mandie choose me to be their Plymouth wedding photographer last year after viewing the website and having a good look through my sample albums. They held the wedding at Ridgeway Methodist Church, Plympton, Plymouth and the wedding reception at Derriford Health & Leisure Centre. I wanted to share a small selection of photographs from their wedding here on the blog. While setting up my lighting for the first dance the children that had been at the wedding all day took to the dance floor as the DJ started. How those little guys still had any energy left was completely beyond me. As the children started to dance and spin around and the bridesmaids dress caught the light, I knew we were going to get something special. Completely unscripted moments like that produce some of the most beautiful photographs and I couldn't wait to get home to download the images. We are now just waiting for the wedding album, one of the beautiful handmade story books, to be returned from the printers. Once it's here I'll pop some images on the blog for you all to have a look at. They were a great couple to work with, really relaxed and enjoyed every minute of their wedding. Have a look through below and as usual feel free to leave a comment.
To arrange an informal chat about your plans please get in contact with your wedding photographer based in Devon via the contact form or call: 07808270215

Though it's not advocated as much as it should be, National Cancer Survivor Awareness is recognized during the month of June. More specifically, National Cancer Survivor Awareness Day was on June 5th.
We're usually told stories of loss when it comes to cancer awareness, so, it is touching to when we can hear stories and advocacy straight from those who have fought a personal battle against this disease. If you are a survivor of cancer or know and care about somebody who has survived this awful disease, then you can imagine that their cancer survival is mostly likely celebrated every day.
As many readers of this blog already know, I lost my father to colon cancer in October 2011. I would love nothing more than to be writing today about my dad the survivor rather than my late father, another victim to the nightmare that is cancer. Those of us who survive after the loss of a loved one to cancer move forward to bring awareness and spend time dedicated to preserving memories through advocacy. But what about those who survive cancer personally? Survivors continue to tell their stories and educate others about the disease as they know it. And it is through their stories that we move closer to a genuine human experience of what it means to live with and survive a serious illness.
Heather Von St. James contacted me to share her story of survival. Heather was diagnosed with mesothelioma shortly after the birth of her daughter. She, like many others (including my father), was given a less than hopeful prognosis. Heather's doctor told her that if she did not act on her cancer right away, she would have fifteen months to live. She had a three-month-old daughter the day she heard this news. Can you imagine this?
Mesothelioma is a severe form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure. So you may ask, how did a young woman, three months a new mother, develop this illness? Heather's illness was most likely the result of years of exposure to asbestos debris attached to her father's work clothes. Asbestos is a lethal toxic substance that is still legal to use in the United States. In fact, there have been traces of asbestos found in crayons and finger paint kits currently sold in stores throughout the country. It is an absolute outrage to learn that asbestos – the known cause of mesothelioma – is still being utilized and sold to unknowing consumers.
After an aggressive cycle of treatments, Heather was very fortunate to have been given a positive prognosis and a clean bill of health. She has lived ten years cancer-free, despite being given a much less promising initial mesothelioma prognosis. Her struggle with her illness went beyond the treatments and hospital visits, however — it carried on through her battles with PTSD and anxiety as a result of her intensive and extensive treatments.
Heather had a choice to put her illness behind her and move forward, but instead, she decided that she could not let her story go untold. And she could not let the voices of other asbestos victims go unheard. As a result, Heather has been working tirelessly to ban the import and use of asbestos in the United States. She regularly goes to Washington with The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization and The Environmental Working Group to tell her story, and she vows to continue to educate, inform, and fight until there is a ban.
Unfortunately, Heather's story is not typical. Not only is she one of the younger people to be diagnosed with mesothelioma and to receive treatment for her particular form of cancer, but she is one of the minority of individuals who have defied the odds and survived.
When it comes to cancer, often stories are told by people who have lost a loved one. And though the voices of cancer's indirect victims are harrowing to hear, nothing speaks louder than the voices of survivors themselves.
Heather's story is uniquely optimistic, and one of many I hope gets told. Her courage and dedication to seeking justice for other individuals and families who have fallen victim to asbestos exposure and mesothelioma are truly admirable.
I hope you will share Heather's story and help her in her quest for a ban on the use of asbestos as well as spread awareness for those diagnosed with mesothelioma.
Please take the time to acknowledge those in your life who have beaten cancer and continue to tell their stories and enrich our lives.
For more information on Heather, her fight, and her mission, please visit her page on how she beat the odds and continues to fight.

Author Notes: Chocolate and peanut butter macarons —Oh Sweet Day!
Makes: 20 macarons
Chocolate Macaron Shells
cup powdered sugar
cup almond flour
tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
egg whites
cup granulated sugar
Peanut Butter Buttercream
cup smooth peanut butter
cup unsalted butter, softened
cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Ganache
grams dark chocolate, cut into chunks
cup heavy cream
tablespoons finely chopped peanuts
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Put a master template under the parchment paper or draw about 12 1 1/2-inch circles in rows on the paper, about an inch apart.
- Process powdered sugar, almond flour and cocoa powder in a food processor until finely ground. Sift the mixture through a sieve. If there are more than 2 tablespoons of large chunks left in the sieve, grind them and sift again. Set the mixture aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Increase the speed to high and beat until very stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the almond flour mixture over the egg whites. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until the mixture slightly loosens and falls in a ribbon from the spatula.
- Fit a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch round tip and fill the bag with the batter. Using the template as a guide, pipe circles onto the parchment papers.
- Tap the bottom of each sheet on the work surface to release trapped air bubbles. Let the cookies stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the cookies to develop their crusts.
- To prepare buttercream, beat peanut butter and butter for a few minutes in a standing mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed. Turn the mix one low speed, add powdered sugar and beat until the sugar incorporates with the butter. Go back on medium speed and beat the buttercream until it becomes light and fluffy.
- To prepare ganache, microwave heavy cream until it's hot. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate pieces in a bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes, then mix until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 325F. Bake the macarons for 8 to 10 minutes, until set but not browned.
- Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the macarons to cool completely on the pans. Once cooled, gently lift half of the cookies from the parchment paper and turn them upside down.
- To assemble, spoon or pipe a teaspoon of ganache onto each of the upside-down cookies, followed by a teaspoon of peanut butter buttercream. Top with the remaining cookies.
- To garnish, drizzling ganache on top of the each macaron, followed by a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.

Already this summer, I've worked my way through nearly two flats of blueberries. I got my first flat from Beechwood Orchards and the second has been picked up piecemeal from various farmers' markets and produce shops. I made a batch of slow cooker blueberry butter with some of the Beechwood blues and ate the rest. That second flat has gone into smoothies, baked goods and this small batch of blueberry ginger jam.
In the past, I've stuck with the combination of blueberry, cinnamon and nutmeg. It's how my mom makes jam and so it tastes like my childhood. However, I had a chunky knob of ginger in my fruit basket and a few hunks of candied ginger knocking around a jar, so I decided to go a different way.
I went with the two different styles of ginger because 1). I had them both kicking around and 2). I've found that when you use two different methods for infusing flavor, you get a deeper and stronger presence. I also like the surprise of having little bits of candied ginger spread throughout the jam.
As you can see from the picture above, what I did was use the same measuring cup to portion out all the ingredients. When I make small batches of jam, I like to minimize the number of dishes I use so that the experience is as streamlined and easy as possible. After smashing the blueberries, I had just under three cups and so I measured a little less than one and half cups of sugar right on top of the berries.
After the sugar and blueberries were stirred together, I tossed in about three inches of chopped ginger into the mix. Now here's where I say that you should deviate from my method and consider putting the ginger into a tea ball or tying it into a length of cheesecloth. I ended up fishing each little slice of ginger out of the jam as it cooked, which was fiddly business.
The finished jam is gently ginger-y with a nice, deep color and flavor. I've been eating it on toasted English muffins and I think it would be really good with a bit of cottage cheese.

I have been wanting to blog about this topic for a while. Working out has become a part of my life, especially in the past year. I have always been an active person but last year I kicked it up a notch.
Last March I joined a gym. I felt like I really needed to do it. For my sanity, as a stress reliever, to get me out of my "same old, same old" routine, and of course to help me feel a bit better about this 30+ year old, mom of 3 body of mine.
Even without the gym, I find great workouts on KET in the early morning hours. And nothing beats a brisk walk during these cooler mornings.
Recently I headed to a hip hop dance class which was followed by a yoga class. The hip hop class helps me let loose a bit and reminds me to not take myself so seriously! I love to get in there and shake my boot-ay to the music. I crack up at myself at least once, usually more, during that time! The time doing yoga really reminds to to take time to breathe deeply and just listen to my body. During the day I find I am focusing all of my energies on the boys, my husband, and my responsibilities, that I neglect this body of mine. I forget to loosen my shoulders, unclench my jaw, and just fill my lungs with air. Its so necessary!
So I encourage all of you to pay attention to and pamper your body. I want nothing more than to be a good mom to my boys and one of the best ways I can do that is to care for myself so I am healthy, relaxed (not stressed), energetic, and happy. I also want to be a great wife and I find I am much easier to get along with when I work out. Also, I feel more confident in my own skin.
Now, with all of this said...if you cannot pay to go to a gym, that's ok! For YEARS I just used Tae Bo videos or yoga dvd's at home. I even found a great 30 minute workout on PBS called "Body Electric" that I did after having my first son.
I am not up to snuff on the health benefits of working out. I don't have the data or the percentages but obviously it is good for us and helps keep us looking and feeling younger and healthier and happier.
If nothing else, spend 30 minutes a day dancing around your house. Turn up the music and dance with the kids. The boys and I love to dance around and act silly. Or start a garden this spring and spend time digging, pulling weeds, tilling, and planting.
Lets be the healthiest, hottest, and happiest mama's we can be!

Like every other religion, Islam also teaches us the lesson of tolerance, but this is something very tough to comply with. Especially, for fanatics, who easily become furious by listening to few provocative words, sticking to norms of tolerance is impossible.
On sixth death anniversary of Salman Taseer Pakistan Sunni Tehreek (PST) has become once again vibrant and vocal to demand the execution of Asia Bibi, the female who is facing the charges of Blasphemy.
Freedom of expression and protest is the fundamental right of every individual but does this mean that it must be accompanied by the vandalism and defamation of any object.
Here are the pictures of defaced portraits as posted by the social activist Jibran Nasir.
On the night between Wednesday and Thursday, some unidentified person wrote slogans like "Hang Asia" on murals of the brave Pakistani women who stood distinguished in their lives for their achievements.
The slogans were painted on the wall of Karachi Press Club that features the portraits of known females like, Sabeen Mahmud, Zubaida Mustafa, Fatima Suraya Bajia, Parveen Rehman and Yasmeen Lari. All these women belong to the fields of fine arts, architecture, human rights activism and journalism.
At the bottom of the wall, the painter also demanded the death sentence for Shan Taseer. Although, the person who committed this heinous act of defacing the images of ladies is unknown; the word PST written on the face of Parveen Rehman, the woman who spoke against the Karachi land mafia, proves that Pakistan Sunni Tehreek is involved in such act.
We just wonder that they claim to be a passionate follower of Holy Prophet PBUH on the one side and boast that they can't do anything against his will at the same times they use the abusive words and involve in the acts that were severely prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Do they think that they are true followers of Islam?

Steroids can make pimples pop up and hair fall out. They can make guys grow breasts and girls grow beards. Steroids can cause livers to grow tumors and hearts to clog up. They can even send users on violent, angry rampages. In other words, steroids throw a body way out of whack. Steroids do make users bulk up, but the health risks are high. It's true, on steroids biceps bulge; abs ripple; and quads balloon. But that's just on the outside. Steroid users may be very pleased when they flex in the mirror, but they may create problems on the inside. These problems may hurt them the rest of their lives. As a matter of fact steroid use can shorten their lives.

Virtual reality can be used for much more than some interesting gaming experiments, and HTC wants users in "business and commercial environments" to be able to take advantage of its Vive VR hardware. Thus, the company announced its new Vive Business Edition (Vive BE), a full Vive system being sold for the low, low price of $1,200—or 50 percent more than the $800 consumer Vive.
Despite the increased cost, there doesn't seem to be anything different about the physical hardware you get with the Vive BE. The "business" system still comes with a headset, two controllers, two base stations, and all the necessary cables and face cushions you could need. All that extra money will instead help pay for a 12-month limited warranty and a "dedicated Vive Business Edition customer support line" (as well as "commercial licensing," if that's something your lawyer says you need for some reason).
That support line might be useful when one of your employees can't figure out how to plug the headphones into the little dongle on top of the headset, we suppose. Still, the $400 markup is a pretty dear price to pay for support on a system that's already pretty user-friendly. The "limited warranty" doesn't even cover things like "physical damage," "rough handling," or "accidents" that might arise from the headset being exposed to the general public in a business setting.
Businesses that want to overpay for their VR headsets can sign up for more information about the Vive BE as well as bulk purchasing discounts and installation services.

Down go the Eagles!
Seahawks blogger Brett B. is back with his weekly post-game look at the Seattle Seahawks in his Love' Em Hate' Em column. An article that is always much easier to write after a Seahawks win on Thursday night football.
Love em'
Winning the turnover battle
The Seahawks protected the ball when they had it and were able to cause four turn overs in the game. All four Eagles turnovers came off interceptions. Kam Chancellor (4), Brandon Browner had 2 (4), and David Hawthorne (3) had one and returned it for a touchdown.
only interception that didn't lead to a touchdown was Brandon's second one and that was because the team kneeled the ball to end the game at the one foot line.
Winning the battle on the ground
The Eagles came into the game with the NFL's 2nd ranked rushing offense. Although the Seahawks defense didn't exactly stop the Eagles ground attack Thursday night was the Marshawn Lynch show.
Marshawn has now ran for over 100 yards in four of his last 5 games and scored in each of his last 8 games. On Thursday he ran for 148 yards, just 4 shy of his career best, and rumor has it he earned a small endorsement from Skittles.
Tarvaris went 13/16 for 190 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Other than the completion percentage those are hardly staggering numbers but the fact that he avoided turning the ball over was key in Seattle's victory.
Tate had the most yards (47) that he has had in a game since his first game as a rookie (52). He also had an amazing touchdown catch in the back of the end zone.
Cleaning up the penalties
Seattle had a season low 5 penalties for 30 yards.
12th Man
Last week I called you out and you responded beautifully. There may have only been 1 false start but the energy in the stadium was unmistakable. Great job everyone, you were definitely part of this victory.
Hate em'
Raising of the 12th Man Flag
The timing was terrible, I found myself watching for the raising of the flag and missing the opening kickoff. By the time the flag had finally been raised the first offensive snap had already resulted in a penalty.
Squib Kick out of bounds
I understand the squib kick at the end of the first half but Steven Hauschka must make sure he keeps it in bounds. With 16 seconds and 2 timeouts left the Eagles could have easily gotten into scoring position from the 40-yard line.
Trent Cole
Trent grabbed Russell Okung by his arm and flipped Okung over his hip tearing Russell's pectoral and ending his season. Cole was not penalized for his actions but hopefully he will be fined next week or even suspended.

Though there are a number of Muslim holy sites in the land of Israel, international tensions going back centuries have complicated everybody's journey to many of these holy sites, be they Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Baha'i or even just a curiosity seeker from another faith.
Likely the most iconic element of Islam in Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine that is among the few locations that all people are most easily allowed into. Built around a large stone that is widely believed to be the altar of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem, Islamic doctrine holds that this was the point from which the Prophet Muhammad ascended to glimpse Paradise itself, a journey described in the 17th Sura of the Qu'ran. A number of most trusted hadiths also cite this area as the stone where Abraham prepared to sacrifice Ishmael, the father of the Arabic people, both highly revered figures in the Islamic faith, though other hadiths place this event in Mecca instead. The Dome has a checkered history and has been held by a number of different groups before the modern caretakers.
Perhaps more noteworthy is the Al Aqsa Mosque that was constructed in CE 720 on the southernmost side of the Temple Mount. Unlike the Dome of the Rock, the Al Aqsa Mosque has long been a strong point of Islam in Jerusalem and is actually the third most important Muslim place of prayer, trailing only behind the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina where the religion began. For some years, it was actually the location Muslims prayed towards before that position was eventually superseded by Mecca during the Prophet's life time. Though officially under Israeli control, the Islamic Waqf still administrates the site and leaves it open for Muslim visitors to this very day.

In the past 20 years, financial planners and their clients have ridden a stock market roller coaster.
The benchmark S&P 500 index soared from 440 in 1994 to 1,527 in 2000, down to 777 in 2002, up to 1,565 in 2007, down to 677 in 2009 and well past 1,800 this year. What lessons have advisors learned from wave after wave of bull and bear markets?
"I've learned that there's a difference between acting as a personal financial planner and acting as an asset manager," says Vicki Brackens, who heads a financial services firm in Syracuse, N.Y., that's affiliated with Lincoln Financial Advisors. "As a planner, there's more focus on helping clients meet their particular goals, at a specified time. When a client's child will be enrolling in college, for example, the financial plan must hit a particular date. You need to build in a safety net."
Although Brackens says she has become more conservative in the last 20 years, she quickly adds that she's not running away from equities. Instead, she has become much more cautious about overallocating to any one type of investment.
"We check our funds to see that their holdings aren't overlapping," Brackens says. "We diversify into many asset classes; we rebalance clients' asset allocations regularly; we include products that offer protection; and we pay a great deal of attention to tax consequences." These tactics are meant to reduce risk, so they might be deemed a moderate rather than an aggressive approach to portfolio design.
Brackens has become especially risk-averse when it comes to what clients' holdings will be as they leave employment. "The first five years of retirement are critical," she says. "We want to make sure that clients have enough cash flow to meet their basic needs, and we want to reduce the risk that a bear market early in retirement will jeopardize that cash flow if they live beyond their life expectancy."
For risk reduction, Brackens now tends to cut back a bit on market-driven instruments for retirees and place more emphasis on products with guarantees. This can give clients the courage to stick with equities, even in down markets, so they'll be in a position to benefit if stocks produce excellent long-term returns, as they have in the past. "We want to be sure clients have enough cash set aside in the early years of retirement," she says, "and we might include some types of annuities."
In particular, Brackens points to split annuities as a means of generating the necessary cash flow. The term refers to a strategy in which a client invests a sum of dollars that will be split between an immediate annuity, for a number of years, and a deferred annuity. Hypothetically, the investor's outlay might be split approximately 40-60 between a 10-year immediate annuity and a deferred annuity. The immediate annuity might generate annual cash flow around, say, 5% a year over those 10 years, partially a tax-free return of principal, while the deferred annuity grows to around the amount of the client's investment, untaxed. If desired, the client can then enter into another similar arrangement.
"The key," Brackens says, "is to take a hard look at what a client's cash flow needs will be in retirement, then develop a portfolio attuned to that person's needs and life goals."

The next Club AJAX meeting will be next Tuesday, June 7th. We'll demo the new Hype animation tool, do Ajax News, have some give-aways, and finally a code Q&A.
Yes. The Dallas Mavericks are playing game 4 of the finals that night. We looked at changing the date, but that didn't work – the Mavericks wouldn't cooperate and move the game to Wednesday… something about TV schedules and 20,000 ticket holders.
Hence we've opted for an easy-going meeting, but it should still be fun! And I will have the Mavs game queuing up on my DVR and will be racing home to see them win!

So, while reading the next portion of this rant, you nned to use a voice in your head similar to that of the late great Andy Rooney with a TV director voice giving directions.
"Have you ever wondered why some people become foodies, chefs or barbecue pit masters? "
Director: Pan out, show head body shot behind counter with several plates of food.
"Probably not, but I have. That's the kind of man I am. I think about things that many people may simply dismiss. You may think about the the color paint you want on your new car while I'm think about using sweet barbecue sauce or trying a sauce that's mustard based. Or I'm thinking about what makes a cupcake worth six dollars."
Director: Go, camera B, tight shot on plates of food. Standby for wide shot.
"You may think about global investing and I may think about the word tapas. I understand that Tapas actually means appetizer, small snack etc. So why does my tiny tapas plate at a fancy restaurant cost more than a steak dinner at another restaurant. Do any tapas restaurants offer appetizer menus?"
Director: End with wide shot, fade black.
Back to me - Kent - thinking as I type. Alright, I know it may seem weird to some topics like this get stuck in my head - until the next dumb question comes along. Here's a couple of good ones. Who decided to stuff the first olive? Who was the first person that walked onto the beach and deciede to eat seaweed?
Here's a big one. Who ate the first snail? Did that person lose a bet? Many people associate escargot with French cooking, so you can use a French accent when reading the following. Setting - group of French guys back in time arguing about a lost bet.
"Come on Andre, eat the snail!"
"No, I refuse to do such a thing."
"You lost the bet Andre, you must eat the snail"
"No, I choose against the snail, somebody at work may be watching this!"
"Come on, do you want to shame your family?"
"Ok Claude, but nobody makes a painting of this!" (Possibly a Reference to old school facebook pic posts)
"Of course not, no painting."
"Claude do you promise? Claude promise me, not painting."
"Ok, here goes... I'm watching you Claude... no posting paintings... GULP!"
"Oh, dude, you totally ate a snail! And I, Claude Monet is sooo going to paint that!"
And I think that's is how impressionist painting started... with the eating of a snail.
Actually, that's probably not how impressionist painting started and eating snails may actually go back to prehistoric times. Many cultures love eating those little things. I will not even touch on survival training and eating snails, grubs, bugs and such. If you visit any Internet video hosting site such as youtube try typing in "eating snails" some of these folks take it past a culinary level. While you are there search Steve Martin's movie the Jerk and check out that snail scene. Classic.
I'm a foodie because I like food, love a good recipe from an Aunt, Granny, Momma and enjoy conversations over a good meal. I'm not a foodie because I want to try things that gross me out. That kind of takes the fun out of it.
I've had my snail. I tried it. In my mind it's similar to the whole Rocky Mountain oyster thing and Bungee jumping - I'm done.
The last time I ate tapas I let the table asking myself why I just didn't have onion rings on the way here? And as far as Tapas goes, I love some of the amazing tapas dishes I've sampled over the years. I just can't figure out why so many people go nuts over the word. I guess it's because going to a tapas restaurant sounds sexier that visiting an appetizer restaurant. Here's another fake conversation.
"John, I have an idea for a restaurant called Appetizers Are Us!"
"Nah, it won't sell. Not sexy enough for dates."
"Oh, how about International House of Small Servings?"
"No, no... think sexy, think exotic, think about charging eight to fifteen dollars for three meat balls and some bread on a small plate."
"By gosh, you have something there!"
"Let's call it TAPAS!"
"What's that mean?"
"I think its' spanish for tiny and overpriced!"
In fact, Tapas is a Spanish word used mostly to describe food served in small portions. And, the customary way to eat Tapas is to mingle around, with friends, sip on wine, a beer, have a great conversation. Sound familiar? It sounds like a NASCAR or SEC tailgate while enjoying some "finger foods" from the grill!
There are plenty of great restaurants serving "tapas" style dishes around. And, I've eaten at many of them. And there are countless Tapas recipes available. I hope you'll try some from this site - their in the STARTERS section.
My only issue with Tapas dishes at restaurants is the price. If I order a Tapas Ribeye plate... go ahead and bring me the whole ribeye, I'll cut it up myself! All kinding aside, here is a simple meatball tapas recipe. You can never go wrong with a good meatball.
Meatball Tapas with Tomato Sauce
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons fine minced onion
1 can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons rosemary
2 teaspoons parsley
In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the beef, breadcrumbs, cheese, steak sauce, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper,garlic, onion.. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 15 to 20 firm balls.Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for several minutes or until browned on all sides. Add the tomatoes, wine, basil, and rosemary. Simmer gently for around 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked. Season generously with salt and pepper and serve three or four on a plate hot with slices of fresh bread. Serve over rice or orzo if desired.
