"Austrian artist Klaus Pichler has developed 'one third', a highly legible photographic commentary of the connection between the individual wastage of food and globalized food production. After learning the UN finding that one third of the world's food supply is left to rot. A vast selection of foods are set in bouquet-like arrangements and photographed as they begin to naturally disintegrate.
Pichler captured the colourful and putrid images in a classical still-life composition, the simplicity of the black background and direct lighting, enhancing the detail and variation of colour observed in the decomposition of each product."

'One Third' -A Project on Food Waste
Klaus Pichler
Food Waste Stop Motion
My first copy still needs a lot of tweaking, I aim to include more facts to educate people on the harsh reality that the amount of food we waste in Europe is enough to feed every hungry mouth in the world twice around. I want to include helpful information to encourage people to do their bit in bringing these figures down such as planning meals, portion control, storing food properly, making the most out of your freezer, understanding use-by dates and donating unwanted food to the underprivileged and homeless shelters. I also want to include more visuals with colourful fruit and vegetables so it becomes more visually engaging.

Dr John Sentamu has warned Britain could become a "very sick society indeed" if people fail to value the elderly, imploring the younger generation to visit and interact with them.
Saying pensioners now risk seeing a lifetime of savings and hard worked "sucked into the vortex of social care", he has called on the Government to help the vulnerable.
Dr Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, warned the Government has now reached a "moral crossroads" and must decide whether to build a society that supports the vulnerable or "one where individuals face whatever life throws at them on their own".
Campaigning for dignity for the elderly, he told a newspaper the Prime Minister must find the money to guarantee "a more fulfilled and dignified life for our ageing population".
Mr Cameron's approach would "define the legacy of this Government", he added.
Dr Sentamu told the Daily Mail: "It is a decision we will look back on in years to come and say, when times were tough, did our politicians deliver for the greater good – or did they simply hide in the long grass?'
"The generation that saved for their old age, and paid their dues, now often see all that they worked for is sucked into a vortex of social care costs.
"My concern is that even when people give up all their life's assets, achieved after a lifetime of hard work and diligence, there is no guarantee even that the quality of care they receive is assured."
He cited evidence from charities that 800,000 older people did not have any formal support with everyday tasks they found difficult, with recent studies showing some housebound pensioners spend just 15 minutes with carers per day.
"Many more receive only tiny amounts of help - sometimes only 15 minutes a day - in which a care worker rushes around trying to complete tasks against the clock," he said.
"People need not only practical care, but also things such as a listening ear, love and interaction.
"I believe that the quality of social care is the litmus test for a humane society. If we do not value the importance of every unique human being then we have a very sick society indeed."
Earlier this year, he told The Daily Telegraph: "Stringent savings are needed, but must be applied with caution and compassion. Only the most callous would want defenceless elderly men and women to suffer as a result.
"We all know there are going to be cuts in Government expenditure. We dare not cut compassion. Our nation's humanity is at stake."

My diagnosis would definitely lean towards Remitting/Relapsing MS, as the majority of problems I've encountered are intermittent making it difficult if not impossible for the technical staff to pinpoint the exact cause in addition as you can tell from the photograph it looks brand-new so there can't be anything wrong can there? I mean "you look so good."
Other than a flat tire which is quite evident requiring little if any technical knowledge a no-brainer really problems which surfaced a few years after receiving the chair have for the most part been intermittent.
One of the first problems I encountered took close to 1 1/2 years to resolve. I would be riding along and all of a sudden the chair would come to an immediate stop. Lights on the joystick control module would flash intermittently and once in a while I would hear a faint beep. In some cases it was simply a matter of pressing the on button located on the joystick resetting the speed setting and away I went. At other times I could be sitting there for 45 minutes pressing the button to no avail when suddenly it would once again come to life. The problem was of course due to the wiring circuit a short basically again mimicking MS, it was decided the joystick as a whole should be replaced unfortunately while it appeared to have cured the problem while I was at the repair center, possibly "The Placebo Effect" soon after leaving the shop I began experiencing the same problem.
It got to the point where I was so tired of bringing it in I lived with its intermittent operation for over a year. Finally after voicing my dissatisfaction a meeting was scheduled with the Pride Rep. He recommended a complete wiring harness replacement and possibly replacement of the control modulator based on the chairs age and the fact no one really knew what was the cause of the intermittent stop and go problem. After the harness was replaced I had to request that the control modulator be replaced as well, from a technician's perspective replacing one part at a time would make identifying the responsible part of whole lot easier replacing both the harness and the control modulator would make it next to impossible unless they were installed in another chair and tested. At this point however I must admit I wasn't thinking as a technician I was thinking as a customer I needed the damn thing fixed.
There is nothing like crossing a busy street at an intersection and having your chair all of a sudden decide to stop in the middle of the intersection! Unfortunately most drivers don't really give a hoot ,once that light turns green you feel like a sitting duck actually you are a sitting duck! Luckily nothing ever happened yet that's what pushed me over the edge making me more persistent with the repair staff.
After getting the wiring harness and modulator replaced this problem was fixed once and for all.
My chair is fitted with a tilt mechanism which seems to have a mind of its own. When it totally broke down several weeks ago requiring the main motor to be replaced, again a no-brainer when you see mechanisms which are broken it's easy to identify the necessary repairs. A week or so later whenever I activated the tilt mechanism not only did it tilt backwards at one point it would tilt sideways which was awkward and scary at least the first time. Again an appointment was made to bring it in for repair the next day. That evening my spouse found a piece of my wheelchair on the floor and asked me what it was? Didn't have a clue yet once the technician saw it well it also turned into an easy fix. When you have a part in hand there is no guesswork involved, another problem solved.
Since Friday it appears we're back to some intermittent electrical problem of sorts.
There is no problem tilting the chair the problem lies when trying to reposition the chair i.e. lowering the lift mechanism. Again controlled by the joystick when I move it to lower the chair it makes a clicking noise and the chair lowers an eighth of an inch or so. It can take a long time to go from a fully tilted position to a normal one, just got off the phone with a technician they will be calling me back to schedule an appointment yet I've been forewarned it's difficult to find an intermittent problem and God don't I know it.

Antiseptic-laced washcloths better than soap and water at preventing healthcare-associated illnesses, researchers say
The use of washcloths infused with a of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CGH) solution lowers the risk for getting a healthcare-related infection from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) by 64%, according to a new study.
Researchers from Rhode Island Hospital studied 7,700 adult patients admitted to general medicine units who used the CGH cloths for bathing throughout their hospital stay. They also studied a control group of 7,100 patients who used soap and water throughout the duration of their hospital stay. Previous studies have found that CGH is effective in treating infections in ICUs, but not in other patient settings.
"Our results require confirmation before CHG bathing in non-ICU patients becomes a standard of care," said senior investigator Leonard Mermel, D.O. "Nonetheless, our findings have certain strengths, including our large sample size." The study was published online in advance of print in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology.

What's all the hype about this Shakeology stuff you hear people talking about anyway?
Is it for me?
Is it a protein shake?
Why should I pay good money for this shake rather than another shake I hear about?
And the list goes on…
I was leery about Shakeology when I first started doing Turbokick and kept hearing about it. Never having been into "drinking my calories" (ok, aside from my wine and coffee), I shied away from the whole concept. However, as I learned more, I became more and more intrigued.
Shakeology is often mistaken for a protein shake. It is far more than that. It is considered a meal replacement because it offers balanced nutrition, including macro-nutrients. Beyond that, however, it is chocked full of premium superfoods, healthy proteins, super-fruits, super-greens, antioxidants, adaptogen herbs, pre and pro-biotics, and digestive enzymes. The amazing benefits come from herbs, roots, fruits, and vegetables that range from the commonly known, like pomegranate and blueberry, to the exotic, like goji berry and maca root. These incredible whole food ingredients from around the world, uncooked and unprocessed, provide a wealth of superfood nutrition all in one shake. It is my multivitamin x 1000! Trust me, I notice when I'm not using it regularly. It is an incredible immune booster and much more…
Just what are the benefits of this shake?
Well first off, please don't be mistaken. The benefits occur because this shake offers what your body needs and craves all in one. It's not a magic pill. There's no manufactured ingredient that is going to offer some secret anecdote to unlock your body's hidden potential. Nope. It all comes down to fueling your body appropriately and meeting it's needs on a micro-nutrient level. I will say, it's not easy to find a shake that does this and with such high quality, natural ingredients. That's why I love it. Plus..it's yummy <3
I've learned a lot about bio-availability through studying for my degree and earning my health coaching certification. As I came to understand that we can't just look at a label and trust that those nutrients are going to be recognized in our body the way we think the are, I gained even more appreciation for Shakeology. Nutrients are more readily absorbed by our bodies when they come from food sources. Period. That's why a shake that is so super nutrient dense excites me!
In addition, our soil is far more depleted than it has ever been of nutrients. What does this mean? If the soil is devoid of the nutrients it should have, the food growing in that soil will be less nutrient dense. In a nut shell: the broccoli we eat isn't the same as the broccoli our grandparents ate. Theirs was better. Not only did it have more nutrients, they didn't deal with as many "extras" that we deal with…pesticides and pollution. Those things are taxing on our systems in addition to being potentially harmful. SO…having a shake that offers a higher density of nutrients is pretty cool. It's an investment worth making.
So what do you get in one shake?
- Proteins and fiber – to help reduce hunger and food cravings.
- Antioxidants, Phytonutrients, Vitamins, and Minerals – to help fight free radical damage and help support a healthy immune system
- Adaptogen Herbs – traditionally used to help the body adapt and respond to the effects of stress
- Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Digestive Enzymes – to help nutrient absorption and support regularity and healthy digestion

It took Trevon Fordham over 10 hours to make what was supposed to be a seven-hour trip to Tampa.
The Columbia native dealt with traffic in various spots during his trek, but Fordham wasn't going to let anything keep him from getting to Tampa.
"We went last year to the Men's Final Four," Fordham said, "so when Carolina came this year for the Final Four, of course, we couldn't miss it."
Fans like Fordham made their way to Amalie Arena to watch the hour-long South Carolina practice session. For these fans, being a part of this moment is simply special.
"Basically, we've been following A'ja, India, Kaydra, and Alaina for about the last five years since they've been playing AAU ball with coach (Kristen) Dickerson," Susan Moore-Cooke said. "So, I've followed their middle school careers, their high school careers, and now college. It's just amazing to see these ladies doing what they're doing."
While there are a few fans that will either make their way to Tampa on Sunday or watch the national semifinal from home, many can agree that having the Gamecocks in the Final Four means a great to Columbia and the USC community.
"I think it's so important for everyone to show their support for the Gamecocks," Kim Cornell said. "I hope we fill up this arena with Gamecocks."
Although it means so much to the fans to be here to support the Gamecocks, the players say it means just as much to have Gamecock Nation make the trip on Easter weekend.
"It means a lot," USC sophomore center Alaina Coates said. "Our fans give us so much support and we feel the love from them on and off the court. Just the fact that they took the time out of their lives to come down here and watch us play, it really means a lot."
"They've been our sixth man the whole season," USC senior forward Aleighsa Welch said. "They've been our backbone. They've been there to pick us up when we've been down so we want to win this for them. These people went out of their way. A lot of people have been talking about this since the season started. To be able to be in this position and to be able to play in front of them, we know we're going to have a good crowd out here. You want to able to do it for them. These fans have been a part of our team the entire season."
Last weekend, there were nine buses filled with fans ready to root for the Gamecocks through the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight rounds. The players are looking forward getting on the floor and seeing a lot of garnet and black in the arena in the biggest game in the program's history. Likewise, the fans are just as anxious to cheer them on when they face Notre Dame at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday
"I haven't heard any of the sportscasters give either one of the teams an edge," Moore-Cooke said. "It's going to be a battle. We're ready.

Solutions to Getting Arsenal's Mesut Ozil Back to FormMarch 6, 2014
Solutions to Getting Arsenal's Mesut Ozil Back to Form
Mesut Ozil has been arguably the most divisive player on Arsenal's payroll this season.
Many feel that the German star has not played at a level commensurate with his club-record £42.5 million price tag and criticize his often lackadaisical performances. Others point to statistics like his team-leading eight Premier League assists as evidence that Ozil has performed better than one might think.
The general consensus is that someone who prior to this season was considered among the top attacking midfielders in the world has been performing well below his potential.
Let's look at some ways to get Ozil to his peak form.
Surround Him with Speed
Ozil needs someone to pass the ball to in order to be effective. Giving it to someone who is on the move is perfectly within his capacity.
Therefore, it really helps Ozil if he can distribute the ball to a runner on the flank who is able to get in behind the defense and cause the sort of disorganization and havoc on which creative players thrive.
That is why he was so much more effective when he had Theo Walcott as an outlet on the right flank. Ozil will have to put up with the Englishman's absence until next season, but Arsene Wenger should look to get Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain into the starting XI as much as possible to recoup some of that uncoachable speed.
Let Him Breathe
A few weeks ago, Bleacher Report's Clark Whitney dropped this telling and rather incredible statistic in his article about "the enigma that is Mesut Ozil":
"In three full seasons in Spain he completed the full 90 minutes in just 25 Primera games, a testament to his lack of fitness."
No doubt Ozil's stamina has forcibly increased since moving to Arsenal as a result of his playing almost every minute of almost every game. However, that gigantic workload has also taken its toll on him, sapping his energy and contributing to the malaise for which he has been so criticized this season.
Rotating him a bit more with Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and even Jack Wilshere would be a good idea.
Intelligent Running and a Quick Tempo
Ozil often gets criticized for slowing things down in and around the penalty box, but a close viewing of the game often reveals that no one else around him is either in a favorable position or moving toward one.
Often, the static culprit is Olivier Giroud, who seems to want to wait for the ball to be played to him rather than getting in a position that would compel Ozil to pass it.
All of the Gunners' forwards and midfielders wait for Ozil to make something happen, especially against teams who like to sit deep and absorb Arsenal's pressure (a la Chelsea, West Ham, Aston Villa, etc.).
That is quite a contrast from the aggressive and incisive running of Cristiano Ronaldo from which Ozil benefited when he was at Real Madrid. Arsenal have no one of that caliber, but they could certainly do more.
It is hardly unique for a foreign player to take an entire season to adapt to the rigors of the Premier League before fully settling in with his team. Only then can he perform at his peak level.
Arsenal might need delivery now but final judgments on Ozil can't be made in first season. Hazard and Suarez prove that— Jeremy Wilson (@JWTelegraph) February 12, 2014
The fact that he has produced what he has in his first season is commendable, if not quite satisfactory. However, Arsenal supporters are right in demanding more from him considering his huge price tag and obviously prodigal talent.
Next season will be a much better indicator of Ozil's ability to thrive in England. He's 25 years old. Fans should take comfort in the fact that the course of his development is not unique.

Jane took me yesterday for number three and it all seemed to go like clockwork. We were there for about an hour which ain't too bad - even time to go for some tea afterwards at the Maggie's centre which is nearby.
Today I got a lift from another friend - who had a much longer wait - though fortunately he didn't (seem?) to mind.
I had an extra (planned) brief review with one of the radiologists before my treatment to check on progress and give me any advice I wanted - though the team who do the treatment are the same most times and I find very helpful indeed.
My treatment was delayed a while because one of the linear accelerators had had problems and so there was some urgent rescheduling of machine use - there are several (I think five in total) - but any delay is a problem as they all seem to be pretty fully used all day!
But home at a reasonable time - and so tomorrow awaits!
Will try and remember to update this as I go - or my memory may be hazy after a few days?

Stay CALM when dealing with your child's report card. Report cards can bring out powerful emotions. The key to dealing with your child's report card—good or bad—is to stay CALM. Before discussing your child's grades, be sure you can stay in Control, Affirm, Listen and Motivate:
C Control. If the report card was disappointing, your first instinct might be to get angry. If it was very good, you might want to gush. Neither response will be helpful. Overreacting about your child's grades will only demotivate him.
A Affirm. Separate the report card from your child. Even if the grades were bad, he's not a bad kid. Start from the position, "I love you always. Now let's talk about this report card."
L Listen. Your child may have a very good idea of why he got good (or poor) grades. Ask, "What did you do this marking period that worked so well?" Let him say that doing homework paid off by leading to a better math grade. Similarly, if the report card is disappointing, help your child figure out what he could do better.
M Motivate. Come up with a plan for the next report card. If things are working well, encourage your child to continue doing his best. If there are changes, help him make a plan so he can do better next time.

Comparing objective and subjective measures of inattention that predict forgetting
McKinzey Torrance1, Barry Eom1, David DiStefano1, Elizabeth Race1; 1Tufts University
Fluctuations in attention can impact whether information is encoded into memory. However, it is currently unclear whether different behavioral and neural measures of inattention accurately predict forgetting (deBettencourt et al., 2017; Maillet & Schacter, 2016). The current study investigated whether different subjective and objective measures of inattention predict subsequent memory, and the degree to which these measures are modulated by individual differences in (a) trait levels of inattention (i.e., propensity to mind wander) and (b) electrophysiological trait markers of central nervous system function (individual alpha frequency; IAF). Participants performed an incidental encoding task and were periodically cued to self-report their subjective attentional state. Trait levels of inattention were measured by a battery of questionnaires and IAF was calculated from a resting-state EEG block. Subjective measures of inattention (off-task reports during memory encoding) positively correlated with trait levels of inattention across individuals, but did not correlate with IAF or predict forgetting on a subsequent memory test. In contrast, objective measures of inattention (response omissions, mean RT) did not correlate with trait levels of inattention, but did negatively correlate with IAF across participants. Objective measures of inattention also predicted forgetting, but only across participants and not for individual items within subjects. These results link objective measures of inattention to endogenous alpha oscillations and indicate that objective measures of inattention may be a stronger predictor of later forgetting than subjective measures across individuals. However, more sensitive neural, rather than behavioral, measures may better capture moment-to-moment fluctuations in attention that impair encoding.

For the Next Generation
Iron Men 318 fight to finish what their father started.
It's all about Legacy. God does more than just a work through a man. He does a multi-generation work through many generational lines. Iron Men 318 is about leaving behind what's necessary for our children to continue what we are starting as men.
Iron Men 318 are devoted.
Genesis 14:4 says that Abraham's 318 servants were trained. We don't take men's ministry lightly. In order to change a culture, the male culture has to change first. Iron Men 318 model radical abandonment to the Lord Jesus, and they live for the advancement of His Kingdom. 1 John 2:15 says: "love not the world nor the THINGS of this world. For he that loves the world does not have the love of the Father in him."
Iron Men 318 are spiritually aligned.
They know that authority flows from submission to Spiritual Authority. None of Abraham's 318 soldiers had an agenda of their own. They trusted the leadership of Abraham, and they fought alongside him to the death. This culture also brings about unity, which is necessary for God to operate in our midst. Now, unity is about alignment not agreement. But that's the beauty: Our commitment is based on obedience to God, not because we see everything eye to eye with the leader God has appointed over our lives.
Iron Men 318 see themselves as the answer to peoples prayers.
They know this world is hurting. We are plagued by injustice everywhere; we see: Human Traffic, Unloved Children, Abandoned Women, Hopeless Poor, Lost Souls. Iron Men 318 not only work to make a difference in these fronts, they also give financially to build a reservoir that will yield resources to fight these things.

Hi all! Today is my Monday since I am officially off my holiday vacation and back to work. I am attempting to not be completely bummed about this but a failing miserably. I'm sure if you've read other posts of mine you are aware of my love of doing nothing. There is just something so satisfying about sleeping in late, leisurely getting up and getting coffee and then just relaxing. Ahhh....But alas, it is over.
Today's mani is a really fun design that incorporates two of my favorite prints- leopard and roses. Now that I have actually learned how to draw roses on my nails I've become a bit obsessed. And leopard print is well...leopard print. It rocks and I just never get tired of seeing leopard print nails or doing them.
For the base colors I used China Glaze Fast Track and Kinetic Candy, I then added small blobs of American Apparel Port for the leopard print and Butter London Pillar Box Red for the roses. I then added small c and u shapes with my dotting tool and OPI Black Onyx for the leopard. I used Orly Decades of Dysfunction to add depth and shape to the roses with a medium striping brush. The leaves were done with Revlon Posh and Savina You're My Sunshine. Finally, I added small dots around the roses with American Apparel T-Shirt and my dotting tool, and topped all the nails with a coat of Seche Vite. Whew! Sounds like a lot but it really didn't take that long. The steps for creating leopard spots and roses are almost identical so that made it fairly simple.
I really love this design. I love the look of the prints together- they clash and yet match at the same time.

Kick-off meeting -- In the kick-off meeting, ERC will introduce you to your project manager, who will guide you through every step of the POS installation process to ensure your restaurant is ready for training and system implementation.
Site survey -- The site survey will help the project manager get an idea of the placement for your new system and any components that will be associated with your POS system. As part of the survey, he or she will discuss all electrical and network wiring requirements with you.
Menu programming -- Menu programming is an important part of your POS installation. Our program manager will discuss with you and your team your site specific needs to create a customized database for your menu. From menu items to modifiers, each screen will be unique to your business and workflow.

Installation -- Our friendly installation team will arrive on-site with all of the necessary equipment and tools needed for your system. After a final walkthrough, the installation process will begin. Each technician is extensively trained not only with the hardware and software we provide, but also on each individual restaurant's workflow. This knowl¬edge assists them in determining the final placement for your hardware and gets your business functioning with Focus as quickly as possible.
"ERC installed our POS Systems flawlessly days prior to our opening on Sept. 23, 2009. All systems were tested and operated seamlessly from the get go."

We're here to help! November 13, 2014 13k Views HeckBender HeckBender Uploader 308Funny78Die 12,541 Views November 13, 2014 Published Category Sketch Tags kim kardashian butt breaktheinternet Son turn around here so I can talk to you about what I found on your computer. I saw that you were looking at a photograph of Kim Kardashian's butt. But dad, I didn't mean to. I was simply trying to look up the weekend forecast, brought to you by the Weather Channel on Yahoo.com, and the Yahoo homepage just was talking about this butt. And then I went on Twitter, and everyone else is talking about the butt, and I didn't want to be left out so I clicked on the butt to see what everyone was talking about. It's okay son. It's not your fault. It's just how the internet is these days. It's all about click bait and SEO. Think about it, why did you even click on that picture? Dad, I wanted to see the raw hot butt everyone was talking about. Exactly. You don't care about the context right? I didn't even think about context. So it's just a butt. The butt's all you want. That's all anybody wants. I mean, Chelsea Handler posts a picture of her butt moments after the Kim Kardashian photo went up, and it's a perfectly fine ass, I mean... Stop looking it up and listen to me! Maybe Handler did it as a statement, most people don't know, people just want to see the butt, and since we're a click bate culture, nobody cares about the real point. Does Kardashian's butt have any? It did, to get press, but there's nothing of value. We all know the name of the magazine her butt was on and that's it. We should care about being used like this. Sensational headlines and pictures trump everything. It's like the celebrity nude photos that were leaked. We don't care about the context-- Like the fact that those were a gross invasion of privacy? And news outlets weren't helping at all. They've been posting edited versions of the pictures. They don't care about the person, the human being. They want views. "Here are these private images that leaked. How terrible? Look at them here." And it wasn't just celebrity based websites either. These were news outlets. -CNN, Fox News, NBC. -That's sort of sad, but hasn't it always been like that? Like back in the 1890s when William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer had penny newspapers. They were competing against each other. It was the beginning of yellow journalism. They published sensational headlines and pictures to drive up circulation, and look at it now. You have news networks that bring in experts to talk about news stories. You have magazines that for decades have been publishing listicles about sex positions and up and coming Hollywood stars and what to cook for Thanksgiving. Then a Hearst Award is the highest college journalism award. And a Pulitzer is the journalistic equivalent of an Oscar. So really dad, hasn't the delivery mechanism the only thing that's changed? Shouldn't we expect more from our news outlets? Shouldn't we want a better world? Shouldn't we want to rise above click bait? I mean, are you trying to tell me that Kim Kardashian is the same as Pulitzer and Hearst, the founders of modern journalism? A butt's a butt dad. It was a butt when newspapers were first printed, and it's a butt now, albeit in higher resolution. DAD: Honey, our son just put modern click bait culture into historical perspective. And I learned that butts are butts forever.

I have a backlog of photos and posts that I've wanted to post for a couple of months now. Here's the first installment. Just a hodge podge of cute pics. taken back in February of this year.
It seems strange to be posting snow photos now that spring is finally here. I believe this was our next-to-last snow of the season. Sweet Pea's hood would not stay on, so we put Giggly Girl's "Sunday" black hat on her, and she loved it! She wore that thing around for the remainder of the winter (even indoors sometimes).
For some reason Superman looks older than usual to me in this picture - maybe because "our little man" is growing up so quickly right before my eyes.
This was the beginning of Sweet Pea's fondness for wearing the "pancess dress". She routinely puts it on now and wears it around the house, much preferring it to regular clothing.
One of Giggly Girl's favorite things to do is play Go Fish. We gave her a deck of Veggietales Jonah Go Fish cards for Christmas, and she has been hooked (pardon the pun) ever since. I love these pictures because they show her beautiful, contagious smile, which we see all the time but I have a hard time capturing in posed shots.

Good news for every woman in the world, these summer you probably have another main option for fashion product. La tutto came out with high fashion product women's wear for spring and summer. Now you can shop more and more for summer fashion product by online (www.latutto.com).
Don't let the heat melt your judgment. and try to regard of the warm temperatures and be casual free of the season. You don't have to change-up your whole style for the warmer months. here is some summer fashion rules you can break.
Dress for the office, not the beach
"The Important thing to remember is that you are at work". It's not the beach and it's not the weekend." try to fight the urge to wear a slip dress with 'spaghetti straps' and opt for something with more structure and coverage.
Short can be professional
Speaking of hemlines, don't make the mistake of neglecting one of the most versatile wardrobe staples for summer : the short. Paired with a tucked-in silk blouse and cropped blazer, it's the 2014 version of the power of suit.
Choose a standout summer dress
this is possibly the most important thing to remember when choosing your work wardrobe. there are two types if your summer will be spent shadowing a high profile lawyer or working at creative industry. if you are top firm, you are going to need to cover up a bit and stick to a strict dress code. and you might even be required to wear some form of a suit on the daily. on the other hand, if you are working within a creative industry (photography studio, adv agency, or magazine), you will most likely have more freedom and can rock a bold print, pile on the jewellery, or mash up your mix and match separates. things that are never OK : flip flops, super-short shorts, and see-trough anything.
No boots or Booties
Don't retire your sandals just yet. The scrappy footwear is fine for the workplace, as long as you have good-looking feet. there are some tip to hide imperfections, choose sandals with thicker straps (for more coverage) and a back that covers your heels.

Harking back to jazz era Harlem, The Cotton Club will open its doors to the public for the first time this weekend and will offer a 1920s-style boutique casino and cocktail lounge, bringing an exciting new addition to Glasgow's late-night scene.
The atmospheric Cotton Club, representing a significant investment by the venue, is set to change the Glasgow casino experience - offering vintage-style gaming, drinking and dining in a two-tier, subterranean speakeasy setting.
Scott Kinkaid, Operations Manager of The Cotton Club, spoke of his delight at being able to bring something new and refreshing to Glasgow.
Scott said: "As of Friday, we will be bringing Glasgow something entirely different to the city's current casino offering.
"In fact, The Cotton Club will bring a brand new casino concept to rival anything offered in the UK, outside of London.
"The Cotton Club will be a high quality venue, open to both those who want to enjoy Glasgow's finest gaming offering, and those who are just looking to have a bit of a chat over some classic cocktails and snacks.
"The 1920s speakeasy vibe will be felt throughout the casino and will be a key part of the overall experience – in everything from the dusky atmosphere and music to the staff's vintage, bespoke uniforms.
"We are excited to bring something distinct and entertaining to the table but, overall, we want to provide a friendly and safe environment for late-night Glasgow revellers.
"We hope everyone will come along and witness the unique experience of The Cotton Club when we officially launch this weekend."
Acclaimed designer Jim Hamilton – whose previous projects include Blytheswood Square in Glasgow, Forgan's in St Andrews and the recent revamp of Tigerlily in Edinburgh – has looked to create a highly atmospheric, underground venue that hints at the jazz era of the original Cotton Club. The Cotton Club is located in the basement of The Corinthian Club, occupying the site of the former Mash & Press cellar bar area – and is aimed at revitalising the showcase Glasgow institution on Ingram Street to new and existing audiences.
Those with Lady Luck on their side are welcome to try their hand on any one of the American Roulette, Blackjack, Three Card Poker and Punto Banco live tables, with welcoming 'learn to play' facilities available for beginners willing to put their cards on the table.
Electronic gaming can also be accessed on the ground floor, whereas luxurious chill-out areas are open to guests who have yet to perfect their poker face.
The Cotton Club will open its doors on Friday 20th November 2015 for a special VIP launch weekend.

LARGO — A 17-year-old boy was arrested after he stabbed his pregnant stepmother while in disguise and staged a burglary to make it look like someone else committed the crime, police say.
Nathan Singhavong was arrested on Tuesday on charges of attempted homicide, battery on someone aged 65 or older and tampering with physical evidence. He was taken to the Pinellas County Juvenile Detention Center.
Largo police say the stepmother, Emily Lam, who is 42 years old and 23 weeks pregnant, woke up around 6:15 a.m. to a noise coming from her bathroom, and, after seeing a man's silhouette, ran toward the kitchen.
Police say Singhavong, who had been living at the home in the 800 block of Seventh Street NW in Largo for the past year, was disguised in a hooded mask when he grabbed Lam from behind and knocked her to the floor. He found a knife and slashed at her face and neck.
While Lam was protecting her neck with her arms, her father heard the commotion and jumped on Singhavong's back, police said.
Singhavong broke away and punched Lam in the face before fleeing, police said. Police found the hooded mask outside the home and the grandfather identified it as belonging to the attacker.
When detectives arrived at the scene, Singhavong was in the home. Police say his father was out of town.
"He was pretending like he didn't know anything," said Largo police spokesman Lt. Joseph Coyle. "His story was changing."
Coyle said police found a ripped screen in the front window of the home that was left open, making it appear someone had broken into the home. He said Singhavong confessed to the crimes after being interviewed by police.
Lam was transported to Morton Plant Hospital for treatment of injuries that were not considered life threatening, police said. Her father, who was not identified, was not injured.

To create the opportunity for parents & related stakeholders to come together for the purpose of acquiring knowledge and strategies to help raise resilient, competent, successful and happy children.
With that goal, we seek to address the challenges of raising children today by educating parents, teachers, administrators and interested community members on the most relevant parenting topics. In order to have the most impact, we strive to bring nationally recognized and revered child health experts to share their research, insights and expertise. Our programs aim to engage all stakeholders who play a role in raising our children in meaningful discussions that we hope will continue well beyond the speaker's visit.

The Gift of Failure
Ms. Lahey outlines a plan for how parents and teachers can encourage autonomy, while still offering support, to help children grow into independent, resilient and confident adults.

Ms. Lahey will also host a Coffee with the Author the morning of the event and moderate a Q&A discussion between the parent community and guest panelists after the lecture:
Mr. Joseph Uglialoro, Principal, Frelinghuysen Middle School, Morris School District
Dr. Walter Rosenfeld, Chair of Pediatrics, Goryeb Children's Hospital, Morristown Medical Center

What You'll Get
When photography was first invented, some individuals believed that the camera would steal their soul, not realizing that soul-stealing cameras were too expensive for the average hobbyist. Learn more fun photo facts with today's Groupon: for $79, you get two portrait sessions (up to a $150 value) and two 11"x14" enlargements (a $178 value) at Contemporary Photography Studio in Medina (up to a $328 total value).
The Medina Gazette 's Best of the Best Photographer for 2009 and 2010, photographer Bob Mihalko boasts 25 years of experience capturing the light. Specializing in studio shoots, family photos, and senior portraits, Mihalko's work runs the gamut from formal to absurd, incorporating such relevant props as musical instruments, sports equipment, and collections of shrunken heads. With a pair of studio shoots, patrons can preen for over-the-mantel posterity before returning another day for a series of shots. Whether an engagement photo or baby's first portrait, Mihalko sends subjects home with a brace of 11"x14" enlargements perfectly sized for dining-room display or tricking police when you're unlawfully using the car-pool lane.
Contemporary Photography Studio has been serving the Medina community for 40 years, and Mihalko stays on the cutting edge of his craft with regular workshops, continuing education, and extracted confessions from the notable photographers imprisoned in his tree house.

It looks wonderful but not if you have to get out in it. We have had absolutely no snow to speak of here in Kansas City, quite unlike last year. In fact, it's going to be in the 40's all next week (last time I checked anyway). Since I'm a teacher, I say bring it on a few weeks into the new semester. Long live snow days!

Quotes About Object
Object in/ and space - the first impulse may be to give the object - a position - to place the object. (The object had a position to begin with.) Next - to change the position of the object. - Rauschenberg's early sculptures - A board with some rocks on it. The rocks can be anywhere on the board. - Cage's Japanese rock garden - The rocks can be anywhere (within the garden)...Send Quote
A life is such a strange object, at one moment translucent, at another utterly opaque, an object I make with my own hands, an object imposed on me, an object for which the world provides the raw material and then steals it from me again, pulverized by events, scattered, broken, scored yet retaining its unity; how heavy it is and how inconsistent: this contradiction breeds many misunderstandings.Send Quote
Since I found that one could make a case shadow from a three-dimensional thing, any object whatsoever - just as the projecting of the sun on the earth makes two dimensions - I thought that by simple intellectual analogy, the fourth dimension could project an object of three dimensions, or, to put it another way, any three-dimensional object, which we see dispassionately, is a projection of something four-dimensional, something we are not familiar with.Send Quote
By the artist's seizing any one object from nature, that object no longer is part of nature. One can go so far as to say that theartist creates the object in that very moment by emphasizing its significant, characteristic, and interesting aspects or, rather, by adding the higher values.Send Quote
It is one step, and a giant one, to see clearly and participate in the love that flows between the persons of the Trinity, but even here, God is seen as the object of his own love. It is yet another step to realize that God is beyond all subject and object and is Himself love without subject or object. This is the step beyond our highest experiences of love and union, a step in which self is not around to divide, separate, objectify or claim anything for itself. Self does not know God; it cannot love him, and from the beginning has never done so.Send Quote
An object of art creates a public capable of finding pleasure in its beauty. Production, therefore, not only produces an object for the subject, but also a subject for the object.Send Quote
Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist's work is not the artist's work.Send Quote
The artist's talent sits uneasy as an object of public acclaim, having been so long an object of private despair.Send Quote
I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.Send Quote
From the moment they had left the Earth, their own weight, and that of the Projectile and the objects therein contained, had been undergoing a progressive diminution. . . . Of course, it is quite clear, that this decrease could not be indicated by an ordinary scales, as the weight to balance the object would have lost precisely as much as the object itself. But a spring balance, for instance, in which the tension of the coil is independent of attraction, would have readily given the exact equivalent of the loss.Send Quote
[Success as panacea and trap:] The less a man is willing to give up a sex object, the more he'll be trapped into becoming a success object.Send Quote
Economists tell us that the 'price' of an object and its 'value' have very little or nothing to do with one another. 'Value' is entirely subjective economic value, anyway while 'price' reflects whatever a buyer is willing to give up to get the object in question, and whatever the seller is willing to accept to give it up. Both are governed by the Law of Marginal Utility, which is actually a law of psychology, rather than economics. For government to attempt to dictate a 'fair price' betrays complete misunderstanding of the entire process.Send Quote
The true test is, whether the object be of a local character, and local use; or, whether it be of general benefit to the states. If it be purely local, congress cannot constitutionally appropriate money for the object. But, if the benefit be general, it matters not, whether in point of locality it be in one state, or several; whether it be of large, or of small extent.Send Quote
Nothing more powerfully excites any affection than to conceal some part of its object, by throwing it into a kind of shade, whichat the same time that it shows enough to prepossess us in favour of the object, leaves still some work for the imagination.Send Quote
The genocidal culture's image of woman as object and victim is paralleled by contemporary representations that continually show the Earth as a toy, machine, or violated object, as well as by the religious and scientific ideology that legitimates the possession, contamination, and destruction of Mother Earth.Send Quote
For example, the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object.Send Quote
Today, we know that time travel need not be confined to myths, science fiction, Hollywood movies, or even speculation by theoretical physicists. Time travel is possible. For example, an object traveling at high speeds ages more slowly than a stationary object. This means that if you were to travel into outer space and return, moving close to light speed, you could travel thousands of years into the Earth's future.Send Quote
Our camera does not produce pretty pictures, but exact duplications that, through our renunciation of photographic effects, turn out to be relatively objective. The photo can optically replace its object to a certain degree. This takes on special meaning if the object cannot be preserved.Send Quote

Grachek to become president/CEO of ACHCA
Marianna Grachek has agreed to become the new president and CEO of the American College of Health Care Administrators. She will replace Susan Allen Burton, who submitted her resignation this week after less than 11 months at the post.Grachek has had a 13-year career with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the last nine as the head of its long-term care program. Before that, she was an administrator and DON at several nursing facilities in northern Ohio. She will officially start as ACHCA's top executive July 17.
"It's a good personal and professional fit," Grachek told McKnight's this morning. "The mission of who I am, whether it's been at the bedside or in administration or at the Joint Commission, has been long-term care."
She declined to call the job switch a move "up" the ladder, but rather a new position with a new perspective: "In my role at the Joint Commission, I was already in a national position to have a seat at the table in terms of long-term care. That was helping organizations, while now the focus will be on the individuals who run the organizations. The sign of a true professional is bringing along the next generation."
Burton is stepping down to pursue other interests, said ACHCA Board Chair Larry Slatky. He praised her for helping "steady the ship" after the previous ACHCA president Mary Tellis-Nayak, resigned in April 2005 on the eve of the group's annual meeting. Burton had been a surprising appointment, not having worked for ACHCA since being its director of membership, marketing and education for seven years in the 1980s.
"(Burton) took over a very difficult situation and maintained the college on course, creating many programs that needed to be in place for the college to survive," Slatky said.
"Everybody's thrilled to have Marianna," he added. "She's a professional in her own right. She's extremely intelligent and understands all of healthcare. She can speak on any level of many topics, from reimbursement to care to regulatory agencies. She brings so much to the table."

More than $3.6 million in state incentives helped persuade Module X Solutions to begin work on a 750,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that will employ 357 workers in Shreveport, officials said Monday.
Module X Solutions uses concrete and metal to construct modular buildings for the telecommunications sector. It also supports MB Industries' production of building systems for the industrial, governmental, commercial and residential markets.
Gov. Bobby Jindal and Module X Chief Executive Officer Steve Schoonover jointly announced the company will invest $7.4 million to rework facilities leased from MB Industries.
The average salary of the 357 workers will exceed $49,800 plus benefits.
To receive a $1.8 million performance-based state grant, Module X must complete renovation of the facility by the end of 2015, hire 274 workers by that time and hire the remaining 83 by the end of 2019, officials said. State officials also said the company will receive another $1.8 million grant for improvement of the facility's infrastructure.
In addition, the company is expected to utilize the state's Quality Jobs and Industrial Tax Exemption programs.

What's the Difference Between Tags and Categories?
When I first started blogging, I used to be confused by the difference between a blog's "tags" and "categories." What did those words even mean? How would I use them? Couldn't I just leave them blank? So, let's talk about what they are and ways we can use them. (more…)

Long-standing UKC contributor David Hooper has passed away. David has been fighting a battle with cancer for some time.
David joined UKC in 2004 and made over 1500 post on the forums becoming one of the stalwarts of the community. His last post was on 29 August this year and was typical in that he was offering advice to someone else about some gear, while no doubt extremely ill at the time.
Our condolences to David's family and friends.
