WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama's attempt this week to distract Republican senators from their decision to let the American people decide the future course of the Supreme Court has failed, as the trial balloon he floated on nominating a moderate Republican fell flat.
Although Obama as a senator attempted to deny a vote to a Republican Supreme Court nominee in 2006 (Samuel Alito), he now insists that the Constitution requires senators to vote on his nominees.
Republican senators rejected this argument, saying that the American people need to decide what sort of Supreme Court they want and tell Washington through the ballots they cast for president and Senate in November. As a consequence, the Senate Judiciary Committee will not hold any hearings on any nominee, and the full Senate will not vote on any nomination.
In what many conservative strategists believed was a tactic to bait Republican senators, the White House floated a trial balloon by leaking the name of Brian Sandoval as a potential nominee. Sandoval is the Republican governor of Nevada, and before that was a federal district court judge (which is the trial court, the lowest level of the federal judiciary).
Republicans responded that it makes no difference whom Obama nominates, because the voters in 2014 gave America two years of divided government. Therefore, senators are saying, the American people need to have a thorough conversation on what sort of Supreme Court they want, and tell Washington in November which way to go. Only then will the Senate act.
Nor did Sandoval make sense for either party. He is pro-Obamacare, pro-abortion, pro-same-sex marriage, and pro-amnesty, so conservatives would not support his philosophy. On the other hand, he's not a doctrinaire liberal, as seen by Hillary Clinton announcing her opposition to Sandoval. So liberals would not support him, either.
Beyond that, many legal experts in Washington do not regard Sandoval as possessing the intellect or capacity to be on the Supreme Court. "This guy is a lightweight," said Ed Whelan, a former law clerk to Justice Scalia. "He's not remotely qualified to fill any seat, much less Justice Scalia's."
Evidently Sandoval is not interested in what would be a grueling ordeal with very low odds of success. He has publicly announced that he is not interested in being nominated to the Supreme Court.
But strategists in Washington contend that Sandoval was never going to be nominated. Sources tell Breitbart News they are convinced that the White House wanted to engage Republicans in a discussion over qualifications and credentials and seek to peel off a few senators who might push for a vote.
There is no indication that Senate Republicans are wavering in their stance of leaving this matter to the voters, however.

The university's 1894 horse barn on Grinnell Way–the last barn on the main campus–is being dismantled and moved to a new foundation on North Pleasant Street, where it will become part of the Agricultural Learning Center on the former Wysocki Farm. Last used by the UMass Police Department for its mounted patrol more than a decade ago, the Queen Anne style structure will find new life supporting student agricultural activities.
At the 95th commencement for the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, speakers told graduates they will become stewards of the world through their chosen professions, leaders in the sustainability movement and the latest proud addition to a long-standing family of graduates who support each other.

1008. #BlogElul 18: Ask
What dare I ask God for at this time of year? My heart wants so much, so much of which is too petty to voice. I need to remember that God knows this, and so my job is to prioritize and push the really important questions to the fore so that God (meaning, the part of God mirrored in me) can try to make them come true.

1990 Topps, Frank Thomas' Rookie Card
About the Card
1990 Topps is in the conversation for worst design ever. Nothing about it looks good or makes sense.
The Frank Thomas card in particular is truly sad. a.) Why do they have Thomas in his college uniform? b.) Why is he playing baseball against a faceless player? c.) Why did they alter his left arm with fake sunlight?
Frank's most popular & valuable rookie card is his 1990 Leaf. Normally, the Topps rookie is the most valued but not only was Leaf produced less but had the superior design.
These slabs which are easy to find go around $30 a pop. At that price you're better off submitted you're own copy. 1990 Topps is junk wax.

The recent "Ban Bossy" movement highlights a trend in American discourse I have encountered both in personal discussions and online. Reason magazine's Scott Shackford discusses some of them here.
Permit me to add a few things on the matter. To be fair, some of these views go beyond the tenets of libertarianism, but I feel they are applicable even if others of the same political views do not share them.
(1) The use of language in this country has been utterly butchered by the combination of an incompetent education system, a growing hostility to intellectual growth and development beyond that of the brute, the rampant use of euphemisms and the appalling ignorance of words and their definitions. This happens all the time in politics. "Sharing" is translated to mean "theft," "compassion" becomes "hate," and "tolerance" means "accept what I believe or else." This makes it next to impossible to have a civilized conversation with the ordinary person who does not have the slightest clue as to the true meaning of the word or subject being discussed. In a sense, they speak an entirely different language.
(2) Such a campaign is the direct result of an authoritative, totalitarian attitude Americans have come to passively accept when it comes to social norms. Example: someone says something that upsets me. Rather than interact with him and try to persuade him through plain and clear reasoning, I will use the violence and coercion to shut him up. Hence the campaign is called "ban" rather than "end the use of the word bossy by changing hearts and minds," though my title is little long, which makes it hard to repeat mindlessly as they intend for people to do.
(3) Consider it put this way: It is a group of people trying to tell other people to stop calling them a word that refers to people who like to tell other people what to do, i.e. they don't like being described accurately. These people have no sense of irony. Is it too much of a stretch to suggest that the ban bossy movement is headed by and undertaken by people who are in fact bossy? It's sort of like violent men forming an army and invading a country to prove they're not violent after being called barbarians. As someone once told me, a person's best defense against an accusation is to simply avoid doing that which they are accused of doing.
(4) This campaign, led by a woman, is also directly related to the rampant and subversive lie girls are continuously taught in schools from kindergarten to college, in society, and by their mothers that being an overbearing, unbearably officious control freak is empowering and demonstrates leadership abilities which in fact it usually explains why boys and later men can't stand them. Case in point: On Twitter, I encountered a woman who made the following remark: My daughter comes home complaining that kids are calling her bossy. I praise her for being a leader. Empower her. Note that you will not see men (at least those who look remotely masculine) join this movement or have boys comprise any segment of the "victims" of this word. Boys are not accused of being bossy. They are told they are being a jackass. Fathers, in contrast to mothers, have far less qualms telling their sons to stop being a jackass. You will also never have a movement called "Ban Jackass" by a man because it is a useful word to describe stupid behavior that men like to point out in other men.
(5) I knew plenty of bossy people in school. They acted like everyone's mother and constantly told them what to do while lashing out at anyone who did the same to them. They criticized others continuously, possessed a clear and obvious sense of self-righteousness, and were utterly incapable of allowing anyone to do anything because if they were not there directly in control the sun would not rise in the morning. The bossy girls, however, were the worst. They thought they were Hau Mulan when they're Lucy Van Pelt from Peanuts. Unlike the guys, however, we were forbidden from pointing this out.
(6) If you want to know the difference between a leader and a bossy person, read Band of Brothers. Then watch the HBO miniseries. There, you find the difference. True leaders don't tell others what to do. People listen to them and follow them because they're going somewhere. Bossy people tell others what to do and force them to obey because if given the choice they would be ignored. Some might argue that the latter fits the description of a parent, but I would submit the parent-child relationship is different.
(7) This campaign will be just as (un)successful as the – and I'm wincing as I write this – "slut-shaming" movement. To put it bluntly, both stem from the psychotic unwillingness to accept being described accurately using words that have had, have, and always will have negative societal connotations. Rather than having the moral conviction to stand by their beliefs and actions in spite of this, they are so emotionally insecure that they feel they must get the approval of everyone around them in order to feel free. Additionally, in their twisted sense of logic, societal pressure is considered to be a form of aggression or violence.
As Romeo said to Juliet, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Likewise, "a bossy person by any other name would irritate the hell out of me just as painfully."

Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by The Frugal Girls... I'm so glad you're here! Check out my top tips for Easy Ways to Make Extra Money!Then join me for all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans here ⬇
Great tips!
I use vinegar for just about everything. Here are a couple of unique ways that I use it: 1) to clean rusted tools … just soak the tools in vinegar over night and the next day, the rust will come off easily. Sometimes we used a wire brush to get all the nooks and crannies clean but the vinegar does the bulk of the work. 2) to kill weeds without hurting the environment. Just pour some vinegar onto the weed and it'll be dead in a day or two. Careful, though … it'll kill any plant it's poured on so use caution. The great thing about this method is that it doesn't hurt the earth. Thanks for your great tip, I will definitely try to wash my veggies and fruits with vinegar !
Thankyou fortheGood information.
Thank you, great idea! I usually only wash our fruit and veggies just before we eat them. I do this so that any water left on them doesn't "rot" the food prematurely. Have you tried the wash? The water portion of this wash must evaporate faster with the vinegar added.

Recently, we had our first ever Robotics club classes —The Robo Codo Ninjas— for Primary students organized and conducted by Joey G., a student of Grade 6.
Joey counts himself lucky that he was introduced to Robotics at the young age of seven and was extremely proud of his first robot, which could move around and lift things. This early experience triggered an interest to make more robots and also allowed him to start coding. Today he codes on an Arduino, writes his own apps, and makes games on Scratch.
When Joey found out that there was a high school robotics club at IICS, he really wanted to join it too, but, unfortunately the club was only for older children. At first he was disappointed, since he had been doing robotics from a young age and sincerely believed that age wasn't a barrier for this experience. But this triggered an idea!
Joey submitted an application to the PTA requesting a grant to start a robotics club for the primary children. That was the start of The Robo-Codo-Ninjas. Right away it got a lot of interest: 10 children from Grades 4, 5 and 6 signed up.
The children showed great teamwork, time management skills, and creative thinking. After learning how to build a robot, the children were able to modify their machines and make new versions, too, so that they could make them ready for the finale.
The final competition was attended by many teachers including Ms. Thompson, Ms. Steinmann, Ms. Hoge, Mr. Rempel, and teachers of Grades 4 & 5. The children proudly showed their skills in a fun-filled contest. Each child was also also given completion certificates for successfully finishing Robo-Codo-Ninjas Level 1.
"I am proud that I took the initiative to start The Robo-Codo-Ninjas, as I believe that this skill should be learnt early. It was fun working with students from across primary and teaching them how to build robots," Joey said.
Comments by students:
"Robotics is an amazing experience. You can learn a lot and it is really fun. You also make new friends, too."
"At first I thought the teams were a bad selection, eventually we started to work together very well."
"This experience is going to stay with me for a long time."
"This club was amazing. I wish I could do more!"

Some History about the Evil Eye
Turks define the Evil Eye as a kind of negative power or bad energy that even well-intentioned compliments include a conscious or unconscious dose of envy and resentment. As a way to protect them selves from that bad energy they created the evil eye amulet. They say that when you wear the evil eye amulet all the bad energy will be directed to the amulet and it will brake. This is an ancient superstition that you will meet in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, Arabia, Turkey and all the way to India. The Turkish name for this amulet is Nazar Boncuk.

I'm a 16 year old girl and have always struggled with my moods and emotions. Whenever I talk to people about it, they just say "oh it's your hormones". But it's been going on far too long and it's more than "hormones". I went through a big phase this time last year of being down ALL the time, with the odd good days. In January this year, I started going out with a boy I'm very much in love with and I felt better for a bit. He's helped me with my confidence, etc so it has done me a lot of good. But I started slipping back into a state of depression not long after. To give you an idea of what I mean, I'll use the past few weeks as an example. I felt ridiculously down, then I felt better, then the past few days, my mood has been chopping and changing; today I feel really down. Bearing in mind, it's exam time, I have felt a little stressed but I know that's not causing me the trouble, as many of my exams are over and I never feel too pressured anyway. I'm coming out in more spots and I'm always tired recently and I can't be bothered to do things with friends as much anymore. It's hard on my boyfriend as well because if I'm acting down around him, he thinks he's done something wrong and I feel bad for it. I get annoyed at the TINIEST things and I'm a very jealous person, and I hate these qualities about myself. I just wish I was better at controlling my emotions because it's all getting me down.
I've been thinking there's a more serious problem then just "hormones" because it's been going on too long and I want to get it sorted. I just don't know where to start and any advice would be nice.

I opened the box. Here is most of what was in it. Now, I don't know what to do with all this. Logically, Miss Piggy could use it. Alli, however, said it wouldn't feel right "because it wasn't bought for her." So, I guess it just hangs in my closet for now. Luckily, my closet is so full of junk. It will just join the chaos.

No, they weren't bought for Miss Piggy but baby's always get hand me downs/hand me overs and she would have gotten them had little Blair lived. I can see Alli's point though.
Could they be used for Beth's little one when she arrives?

Labour MP Tom Watson was the trending topic Thursday afternoon on Twitter, after having had his account tom_watson hijacked by a parliamentary intern while he was away from his desk in a meeting.
The intern in question, believed to be a 21-year-old female, tweeted a message at 12.30pm GMT from Watson's account, saying: "I should log out of my twitter so that my intern doesn't twit-rape me..."
Fifteen minutes later, after the post was re-tweeted and replied to numerous people following the MP, she realised her "terrible mistake", and tweeted a further message: "My boss is in a meeting, i've made a terrible mistake, im very sorry everyone, it wasn't meant to be offensive! logging him off now! sorry!"
The politician logged onto his Twitter account twenty minutes later to apologise for the tweet, stating that his intern was "very sorry", had learned a lesson and that he would "deal with the matter offline".
The incident has attracted comments from hundreds of users in the last three hours, all trending on the hashtag topic #SaveTheIntern.
The Daily Telegraph reported that in response to some of these tweets, Watson has said that the intern will not be sacked, and that she is on a year-long placement.
The practice of playing a prank on someone by changing their status to something potentially embarrassing or amusing on social networks like Facebook or Twitter is a rising one amongst young adult users, that is often known as "frape" (on Facebook) or "twit-rape".
Twitter user welsh_gas_doc explained that some users do not realise the consequences of pranks on social networks.
"It's easy to write something on Twitter that seems a good idea at the time, but then backfires and causes no end of stress," he said.
The unfortunate intern has inadvertently restarted discussions on the management of online reputations, with Twitter users wondering whether Labour have proper policies about social media.
"Interns fault? Maybe not. Can we trust MPs to govern when they can't manage their own security at basic level? " is one such as a comment from user Jonathan Guttridge (JGuttridge).
Other users are wondering if this is an elaborate publicity stunt instead of a foolish mistake. Twitter user Katie Jackson (KittyStory) noted that Tom Watson has garnered over 700 new followers in three hours and that the intern is a "social media whizzard".
While some users joined the trending topic in support of the intern, worrying that she might be fired, yet others were full of criticism of her actions and concerned about the phrase "rape" being used as a joke.
"Do not #savetheintern! Anybody over 8 would realise that false tweeting under your employer's name is really stupid as you will get caught," said Twitter user Alexandra Phillips (Speechwright).
Users also used the opportunity to bring up the controversial topic of how some MPs still use unpaid parliamentary interns and to campaign for them to be paid, trending an additional topic, #paytheintern.

— Minstrel offerings by Roger the Jester (see photo) (11 a.m.-1 p.m.)
— Live Entertainment
— Face painting and art projects
— BBQ with all the fixings (11:30-2 p.m.)
As you may know, we are working to develop this historic property as a resort and residential community, anchored by the historic mansion and new organic farm at the foot of Yokun Ridge.
On July 22, we'd like to take a break from those efforts to simply enjoy the lovely, so please join us with your family, friends, local history buffs, neighbors, kids and grandkids. We look forward to seeing you.

Flashback Friday: The Final Countdown
It's been forever since I posted a Flashback Friday, so I thought it was time to get started again. I hope that you enjoy it!!
This one is going to focus on "The Final Countdown". In case you don't know what that is, it's a song by the Swedish group Europe in 1986. It was their third album and became a #1 hit in 25 different countries.
So why am I talking about this song and this 80's group?? Well, because they've revived this song in a new Geico commercial. Hubby and I can't help but to laugh every time we see it. It brings back so many memories. Hubby really gets a chuckle out of it, but part of that is because of the guy in the commercial too.
It's good to see some "old" things revived like this!! In case you haven't seen it yet, check out the video to the commercial….
I hope that you join in the Flashback Friday link-up and share your flashbacks. What do you have good memories of?? Link up and let me know!!

Foto Finish: Fireworks
This is my first week back with Foto Finish, so I wanted to share a photo that I've really been working on. Well, I'm really trying to capture lightening, but I also love fireworks. Since we just celebrated the 4th of July last week, I thought I'd share a photo that I took of fireworks.
Here's a shot of a fireworks display that I took….
This was a display put on by the local golf course and it was taken from my backyard. We are about a mile or 2 from the golf course. It's gotten more challenging because the trees have really grown up around all the houses, so I really had to try to capture the "big ones"

Foto Finish: In a Tree
This week's Foto Finish is on time!! WooHoo So, what did you do for our theme of "in a tree"??
I had fun with this one. I was going to go literal and go for a bird in the tree because I have lots of photos of that. Instead, I had to go a little different route. I used a photo that I took earlier this Spring of this pretty butterfly fluttering from blossom to blossom on our dogwood tree.
Here's my Foto Finish for this week….

Flashback Friday: Errol Flynn
For my Flashback Friday, I'm choosing to do Errol Flynn (20 June 1909-14 October 1959). His birthday was this week, so it got me thinking about him. He had quite the life and I think he lived it with no regrets!!
He was born Errol Leslie Flynn in Australia in 1909. He describes his parents as "seafaring folk" and this could be where he got his love for the sea and boats. He was expelled from his grammar school for fighting and allegedly having sex with the laundress. He was also expelled from other schools in Tasmania for various reasons. At the age of 20, he moved to New Guinea, only to have a couple of failed businesses. In the early 1930's, Errol headed for England.
Errol got his first acting job in 1933. He not only performed on stage, but in movies as well. He was discovered by Warner Bros. through one of these films and was signed to a contract. Errol then emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized citizen in 1942, just eight months after America entered WWII.
He became an instant success with Captain Blood in 1935 and was quickly typecast as a swashbuckler. In 1938, he got is most celebrated role as Robin Hood and his first Technicolor movie. Errol performed his own fast-paced sword scenes. He also starred with Olivia de Havilland in 8 films. Although there was an attraction by Flynn to de Havilland, they were said to remain platonic friends. Although he and Bette Davis had a strained relationship on-screen and they often quarreled, they were paired up 2 times for The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex and The Sisters.
Errol Flynn tried to join every branch of the military after he became a US citizen. It was his way of showing that he was grateful for his fame and wealth. However, Flynn was turned down each time due to health problems that included and enlarged heart with a murmur, recurring malaria, chronic back pain (which he self-medicated and took drugs for), tuberculosis, and several venereal diseases. He was declared 4-F and unqualified for military service for not meeting minimal physical fitness standards, despite his athletic roles and physical beauty.
By the 1950's, Errol's alcohol and drug abuse had started to show. He was bloated and prematurely aged. Because of this, he got less roles, yet won acclaim for his role in The Sun Also Rises. By this time, Flynn also had 2 failed marriages and was married again. He had 4 children (1 son and 3 daughters) with his 3 wives. He'd also been accused of statutory rape in 1942. He was cleared of all charges and it increased his reputation of being a ladies man. He was the focus of gossip for friendships with Carole Lombard, Dolores del Rio, and Marlene Dietrich. Marlene flaunted her relationships and del Rio supposedly fell for him instantly, but Carole had met Clark Gable and was in love with him although she enjoyed Flynn's company and invited him to parties.
In the late 1950's, he'd met and courted a 15-year old Beverly Aadland. According to her, he planned to marry her and move to Jamaica. It was while on a trip to Canada with her that Errol started feeling sick while at a party. He said that he was feeling ill and would return and retired to the bedroom. A half hour later, Aadland checked on him, only to find him unconscious. He died on that day in 1959 of a heart attack at age 50.

Bird Food on a Wire
I have what I consider a pretty interesting photo today!! We were outside watching the birds around the feeder when this bird on the wire caught our attention. It swooped down and grabbed this bug and proceeded to take it back up to the wire. The bug got away a couple times and the bird would swoop again and catch it in the air and get back on the wire to eat his dinner. It was so fascinating to watch!!
Here's my "bird food on a wire" shot…..
By the way, if anyone knows what kind of bird this is, I'd love to know!! I know it's not the easiest shot to be able to tell. However, it's gray with a yellow belly….and it obviously eats live bugs.
I'f you'd like to join in World Bird Wednesday or just look at other awesome pictures of birds all over the world, just stop by here and take a look!! If you'd like to join Outdoor Wednesday and look at other great nature photos, just visit here!!

Flashback Friday: Shoes
Welcome to the 1st edition of Flashback Friday!! If you'd like more information on Flashback Friday or the "rules" on how to participate, please go here to check it out and to get the button code to link up.
One of the things that I love most is shoes!! Buying new shoes always makes me feel good. I feel great if I'm wearing a great pair of shoes. The shoes that I love most are vintage shoes!!
Today, the heels are too high and they're uncomfortable. Most of the shoes that women wear are just impractical and I don't think that they're all that pretty with the sky high heels and thick platforms. However, vintage shoes were pretty and functional. Wearing them, the women didn't just look like women….they looked like ladies!!
Here's a few of my favorite images of vintage shoes….
Here's a couple vintage shoe ads….
The classic shoe store experience….

Once my husband and I ticked off the 3 children check box we consciously chose to be a minivan family. Our current minivan (2005 Honda Odyssey) is coming up on 10 years. Through all of those years it's been reliable, practical and comfortable. However it was with great anticipation that we got to review the Kia Sedona SXL since we're in the market for a new van. It would be great to see what's changed in the 10 years since we've had our minivan.
Smooth as Silk
First off, the Koa Sedona SXL is a slick, silky vehicle. I have to say it truly handles much nicer than my Odyssey. It was one of the smoothest rides I've ever experienced. The electric power steering makes driving a breeze. While my current van has a back-up camera, the Sedona has front and rear cameras that help during parking and exiting a parking spot. The navigation screen displays both front and back views in a split screen so you can clearly see what might not be as visible just with the naked eye. There's the added benefit of an audio feedback system that lets you know if you're getting close to an object. That's a great feature and very handy for those teen drivers. It works not only in a tight parking spot but also while driving and changing lanes.
Ready for a Road Trip?
The Sedona delivers 276 horsepower and a super quiet and smooth drive. Both active and passive safety features provide the utmost safety whether you're going to the grocery store or a cross-country road trip.
Driver View
The Kia Sedona was named Best New Car Design at the 2014 New York Auto Show. It's definitely a winner and was a dream to drive. The dashboard has loads of features. The steering wheel has a bunch of buttons to maximize the safety of having 2 hands on the wheel at all times. You can answer the phone, lower the media volume, and manage cruise control and other car settings. The comfortable driver bucket seat allows for 2 different drivers to have preset settings so you never have to grumble about your husband changing the perfect seat height and mirror view. The front passenger seat also has electronic control seat settings. There is a sunroof in the front, which I find I don't use much in my current van. Both seats have heating and cooling settings – true comfort in the cockpit. There's also ample room to store commuter mugs, snacks, small bags and more in the center console.
Passenger View
My 3 kids tested the second row and marveled at the comfort. Not only are there two captain chairs but they come complete with ottomans or foot rests that make traveling first class. The middle row also has a separate sunroof. Perhaps that makes up for the lack of an entertainment center. I don't find the lack of an entertainment center a concern at all now that most kids have their own hand-held device whether it is a smartphone or tablet.
Kia's UVO eServices App
Kia's UVO is a subscription-free media service offered by Kia Motors America. Besides hands-free calls using your smartphone and the built-in Bluetooth you can also stream music, download apps from the UVO Download Center including Yelp and Google Maps and register your account to view maintenance information. Available for both the iPhone and Android you can sync between the phone and car and take note between your parking location, get roadside help plan stops along your trip.
Doggy and Luggage View
The third row and trunk space offer lots of convenience you don't find in an SUV. You can fold both the single seat or double seat or just one at a time. When flattened my only complaint is the floor is not completely level. A flat surface would mean it would be easier to sleep in the vehicle of you were using it for camping or to transport something that required a level surface. My two big dogs are often relegated to the back of the van so having a level surface means more comfort. I would add some blankets to make up for the bump in the back. But beyond that minor inconvenience there's plenty of room to pack, store and move lots of stuff. Again, something most SUVs are incapable of carrying as much as a minivan. That to me is reason enough to go with a minivan.
For me it was a welcome bonus to have an trunk door that opens with the click of a button on the remote. You can open it with the remote or by pressing a button above the license plate of the trunk door. Then simply press the button on the base of the door to gently close. My two dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, had no problem jumping in the back of the van. The height of an SUV is typically too high to allow your dogs to jump in the back.
Nice to Have's
A few of the niceties with the van include two USB ports in front, one in the back and two 110v outlets (front and rear). The outlets are very handy when camping, charging or using a device that does not have a USB port. On more than one occasion we've used someone else's outlet to blow up our mattress when camping or use a blender at a tailgate. So it's a great 'nice-to-have' feature.
Some other awesome features include the cooling glove box that comes standard on the EX, SX and Limited and optional on the LX. The trunk light is detachable for those times when you need a flashlight – ingenious!
The exterior has a lot to offer too. The sleek looking grill mimics the lines of the windshield. There are interior window shades and the overall comfort level is outstanding. It rated very high in the crash test scores with an overall score of 8 out of 10.
What's the Bottom Line?
After driving the Kia Sedona SXL for a week, I have to say we are seriously considering buying or leasing this minivan as our next vehicle. While Toyota and Honda minivans are often the top pick, their many recalls and hefty price-tags make the Kia Sedona is definitely a heavy contender.
For more on the Kia head over to US News 2015 Car Rankings or Kia's website.

B. A. Hispanic Studies
Andrea was born and raised in Western Germany, near Cologne. When she finished High School, she decided to do an apprenticeship as a forwarding merchant. However, she subsequently thought that she could aim for more and decided to study Spanish Language and Culture at the University of Nijmegen, in the Netherlands. During her Bachelor's degree, Andrea chose to go three times abroad. In 2013-2014 she studied one semester at the University of Granada, in Southern Spain. Next year, she did an internship as a German teacher at a language academy in Madrid and after that, she worked as Public Relations in a 5 star hotel in Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands.
After having finished her Bachelor's degree, in the summer of 2015, she looked for a job in the beautiful city Madrid and started working at BALDER. Although she had never worked before in the legal field, she is glad that she found such an interesting job. "I especially like the variety of this work and that I am working in a so young and ambitious team. Each day I am learning something new, and I get the chance to use the languages I speak -German, English, Spanish and Dutch- which is one of my passions. All this in my favourite Spanish city: Madrid!".

Article Title
One student received an e-mail about five years ago that will impact the rest of her life. Jen Hakey, sophomore in Journalism and Mass Communication, was informed of a lawsuit via email that was filed against her in the spring of 2007. Jen was a freshmen living on campus downloading music illegally using websites like BearShare and Limewire. Hakey said she had received numerous e-mails from the university warning of her alleged copyright infringement.

2011 is 28 days old. Time has flown by so quickly, that I did not realize that it has been almost 2 months since I last typed an update.
On Dec 13, I took my Physiology final. I got a B on it and an A in the class. The Pre-req's for Nursing school were officially complete. My application was submitted for the Fall semester 2011 and I just received the letter confirming that my application was accepted. I won't know if I have a spot until the end of March so I am on pins and needles. This semester, I am taking Microbiology which is a Nursing school requirement that I can get out of the way before Nursing school.
On Dec 22, I went downtown for my CT scans and pre-ops. The scan was stable and I was officially referred for surgery to remove the lung nodules I've been dealing with since Summer of 2007.
Christmas flew by and I mean flew. Before I realized what hit me, it was over and I was left with a pile of wrapping paper. The entire holiday season was a blur for me. I did all my Christmas shopping after work and for one week, after leaving the house at 7:00 AM, I did not return until well after 10PM. Nevertheless, I got the shopping, wrapping, grocery shopping, house cleaning, and cooking done. The kids liked what they got though there were no real surprises for them.
Dec 30, was surgery day. After working 3rd shift on Wednesday night, my sister drove me downtown that Thursday morning. I was very flip about the whole thing and was honestly not nervous. After working the graveyard shift, I was too tired to care and almost happily lay down on that gurney almost looking forward to being knocked unconscious. After waiting in the Pre-op waiting room for over an hour, I was finally called into the prep area where I waited some more. The pain team came in prior to surgery to place the epidural in what was probably the most uncomfortable part of the process. Surgery took about three hours and I remember waking up in the recovery room. My surgeon was signing some paperwork and I remember thinking "Ow! this hurts!" Then I passed out again for a couple hours. When I came to, I wasn't in pain anymore. I spent 3 days in the hospital and barely remember any of it. I was getting IV injections of Dilaudid and taking Vicodin for breakthrough pain. I couldn't stay awake for more than 45 minutes at a time and I missed the ball drop on New Years Eve though missing the party this year didn't bother me. I was discharged on New Years Day to my own devices. The surgeon removed 6 cancerous nodules, the largest was 2.5cm. The others were less than a cm.
I haven't had time to reflect on this. I have had cancer for a long time. If I count the time prior to diagnosis, cancer has been in my body for 10 years. I don't think that I will ever feel free of cancer no matter how long my scans are clean. Cancer is a journey that is NEVER really finished as we deal with the after effects of treatment, the financial devastation, the psychological ramifications and the physical changes. I am cautiously optimistic and am looking for ways to make this experience count for good. For now, it is business as usual. Thank you Nonalee, Lynne, Kris, Mary Therese and Dan for all your wonderful support through this whole process. I couldn't have done it without you all.
Unfortunately, 2011 brought some bad news. I was sad to hear about the passing of Daria Maluta. Daria was a breast cancer patient whose blog, "Living with Cancer" brought many cancer patients together. She was strong and faithful and she will be missed.
Please pray for my dear friend Sue G. Sue is all over the cancer blogs leaving such wonderful words of encouragement and now she needs encouragement as she is dealing with brain mets and though the outlook is looking positive, storm the Heavens for her complete recovery!
Prayers for Elsa (Living with a Sarcoma) as well. She has been dealing with chronic pain and stubborn tumors.

Real Estate is my passion - not my job. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping buyers and sellers accomplish their goals of acquiring or selling real estate. I didn't "settle" here in Central Oklahoma - I chose this place to call home and no one knows this area and these people better than I do! I was born and raised in Lincoln County and love it so much that I chose to raise my children and make my life here. Family and community are both very important to me so I am very involved in the local organizations that work to improve and serve our Central Oklahoma communities; including our local Chamber of Commerce, and Rotary Club.
If you are like most people, buying a home is the biggest investment you will ever make. So whether you are buying your first home, dream home, or an investment property, why not take advantage of my experience as a local market expert in the Lincoln County area to make the most informed decisions you can, every step of the way.
With over 70 transactions closed in the past 12 months, you should feel confident you are working with a full time agent. I am experienced with short sales, foreclosures, and HUD properties, I enjoy many aspects of real estate. I have great knowledge of financing and loan options, I can refer specialists in the lending business. I care about my clients and have become close friends with many of them - just read through the comments on my testimonials page and you will see the evidence that I am willing to go the extra mile for my clients.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Eskom Uganda has marked 6 years 7 months (3,000,000 man-hours) and 500 days without lost time injuries to its employees and contractors respectively. This is a demonstration of our strong zero harm culture that has helped Eskom Uganda promote safe, healthy and decent work. These statistics demonstrate that Zero harm is possible if all workers believe that they can make a difference in preventing occupational diseases and injuries.
Speaking at the celebration at Nalubaale dam , Managing Director Thozama Gangi said Eskom is modest about this epic achievement, aware that attaining safety and health for all at our workplaces is an indefinite journey.Through this achievement, Eskom Uganda has been able to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 8 that focuses on making decent work a reality.
Thozama noted that "Everyone has a role in work place safety and health. We can only truly succeed in keeping all our workplaces safe and healthy for everyone, if we all play our part. Whether you are a Director, Manager, Supervisor, Employee or Contractor, no contribution is too small".
"This great achievement reminds us of the lessons we embrace from our five core values;
Zero Harm: We must strive to ensure Zero Harm to employees, contractors, the public and environment.
Integrity: We must demonstrate the quality of being honest and morally upright by adhering to workplace health and safety practices.
Innovation: We must go beyond the status quo and find ways to work safer and smarter.
Customer Satisfaction – We must engage our customers to promote a safety focused culture.
Excellence – We must embrace a strong zero harm culture", she concluded.
The celebration included drill demonstration by the security Agency working with Eskom, presentation of gifts and staff brain buster competitions.
Together, let's turn Vision Zero into a reality, for all our workers to return home safe and healthy every day.

WASHINGTON — Two failures — one in Illinois and another in Nevada — cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. about $63 million Friday night.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency closed the $187 million-asset Western Springs National Bank and Trust in Western Springs, Ill. Later, state regulators closed the $145 million-asset Nevada Commerce Bank in Las Vegas.
The FDIC found buyers for both institutions. Heartland Bank and Trust Co. in Bloomington, Ill., agreed to assume all of Western Springs' $182 million in deposits. Heartland will also acquire roughly all of the failed bank's assets, and share losses with the FDIC on just over $100 million of those assets. The failure was estimated to cost $31 million.
Meanwhile, Nevada Commerce's operations were sold to Los Angeles-based City National Bank. The buyer agreed to pay a 0.7% premium for all of the failed bank's $136 million in deposits, and will also acquire roughly all of its assets. City National and the FDIC agreed to share losses on $111 million of those assets. Nevada Commerce's failure was estimated to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund about $32 million.
The frequency of failures this year continues to cool down from the nonstop activity of 2009 and 2010. Friday night's closures, which brought the 2011 total to 28, followed a previous week in which there were none. Just three banks were shuttered in all of March, and last month saw only one Friday with multiple seizures.

When it comes to selecting a job or a career for you to follow is an extremely vital decision, more than we actually give it credit for. What most people do not understand is that the career you choose and the workplace you decide to work in, and the people you choose to be around eventually moulds your life, whether you like it or not; and in most instances you wake up ten years down the line looking at yourself wondering where you went wrong.
One of the few major areas of error we as individuals tend to use as a major deciding factor on which job you are more likely to choose is the remuneration. As a Christian, using the amount you are promised to get paid as he main influence over your choice in this area is dangerous. This is simply because you will sooner or later find yourself in a much compromised situation where you will soon come to a cross roads concerning your decision; whether it is the best move for the business or whether it supports your Christian values.
To avoid such situations it is important that you look for christian employment in Perth. This does not refer to devoting your life to working in a church or parish; instead, making sure that the job that you are agreeing to and the post and duties that you will need to take over, stays inline and well within the limits of your belief and does not result in you questioning your belief or changing your habits in any way that will adversely affect you in the future.
By making certain that you choose a place of good Christian employment the chance of you needing to choose between what your heart and belief tells you is right and keeping your job. By doing this you will also be able to perform your duties better and feel much freer and liberated in terms of making sure you do your job to the best of your ability.
One of the other benefits you will receive by choosing your job wisely will be you will be able to grow more as an individual. You will not need to always be on the lookout and keep an extremely judgmental eye because of what your office expects of you. You will have a more liberated state of mind and you will definitely be able to improve in terms of you making a definite improvement and adding much to your self-worth rather than keeping a constant watchful eye out; which will eventually take you nowhere.
