Villa U18s 2-2 Spurs - Kieran's verdict
13 September 2015|Tottenham Hotspur
Kieran McKenna saw a number of positives in our Under-18s' draw at Aston Villa on Saturday.
Kazaiah Sterling added to his fourth-minute opener with a well-taken header later in the first half, but Villa responded after the break through Jack Clarke and Callum O'Hare as the Barclays Under-18 Premier League match ended 2-2.
Rather than focusing on the disappointment of surrendering a two-goal lead, however, Under-18s Coach Kieran insisted there were numerous things to be happy about coming away from Bodymoor Heath.
"It was a really high-level youth game," he said. "Our start to the match was excellent as we did everything that we'd want to do – we played with high intensity, played forward and created chances so I was really pleased with that and obviously we scored two high-quality goals through Kazaiah Sterling, which was also pleasing.
"We still spoke to the boys, though, because even at 2-0 we were all aware that the game wasn't dead. Aston Villa are a team who play with a lot of spirit and I thought the third goal was always going to be very important.
"Villa obviously managed to get that with a deflected shot and then they got it back to 2-2, so we're naturally disappointed not to have won the game from the position that we were in, but there were a lot of very pleasing aspects of the performance and overall it was a really enjoyable game."
Kieran also spoke highly of Charlie Hayford, who put in another committed display following his recent move from midfield to right-back.
"Charlie Hayford was excellent and he's got that from his form in training really," he added. "He's trained very well this week and I thought he was in credit last weekend as well, playing in a different position at right-back.
"Today he was excellent, both in his defensive work and his efforts going forward."

This man goes to a bar after a long day at work to relax a little and have a few beers. Needless to say, the man loses track of time and becomes undeniably drunk. Meanwhile, his wife prepares herself for a night of passion. Hoping to surprise her husband with a newly purchased neglig]e. This ensemble came complete with crotchless underwear, and extra special treat to please her homeward bound husband. The husband stumbles into his driveway, as the wife scurries to finish applying her makeup and making sure everything is in its place. She stood by the doorway to the bedroom, with her elbow perched on the side, the other hand seductively on her hip, ready to be "swept off her feet." But the man trips into his living room, slurring words, barely able to see, takes a look at his wife and continues walking right past her into the kitchen. The wife, confused by this, stops the man and says, "well, honey, don't you want this? It was supposed to be a nice surprise for you." So the man looked her up and down again, and replied, "why would I want that?!? Look what it did to your underwear!"

The first and most important step to becoming a minister is to confirm the legal terms. While some regions may allow minister accreditation with just a short online application process and a fee payment, other areas may have slightly more involved requirements.
To confirm what the full terms and conditions are for becoming a full-fledged minister in your area, it could be beneficial to do in-depth research on the specific laws of your county or state.
There are plenty of websites for organizations that ordain prospective ministers, but not all of them are created equally. Depending on the nature of the organization that you register with, there may or may not be a involved process of training.
To ensure that you are properly prepared to perform any ceremony, you might want to confirm whether or not an organization offers an active training program to be completed before being recognized as a minister.
More often than not, programs that treat the process of registration as more of an qualitative examination than a simple monetary exchange will be more reputable than not. Trustworthy organizations will also freely offer their contact information for getting in touch and asking detailed questions about the process of getting ordained.
While different organizations will have different processes and supporting material, practically all of them will require that a brief form be filled out with your basic identifying information. Be prepared to provide your full legal name, mailing address, an email address, and your nominal fee; no information more intimate than this should be requested by a trustworthy organization.
No matter what organization it is that you register with, you'll want to ensure that you get a hard copy of your completed registration and official status as a minister. Because there are so many unregistered and unprofessional organizations that masquerade as official ordaining bodies, printed credentials will be all but necessary for substantiating that you are a legitimate minister.
Depending on your residence, a congregation may be a necessary step in the process of being officially recognized as a minister. Some states might also necessitate that all prospective ministers complete an official clergy registration before being licensed.
Depending on the nature of the registration, ministers in different states oftentimes have different restrictions regarding the types of ceremonies that they are allowed to perform. Before getting licensed, make a point to clarify just what the full limitations are in terms of your abilities to perform any ceremonies in the future.
Keep in mind that the laws regarding minister registration are subject to change at any time. Even after getting accredited, one should make a point to keep up to date with the laws to watch and see how they evolve; this could be a practical way to ensure that the accreditation isn't unknowingly voided in the future by a subtle change in the law that you weren't aware of.

FICO is hosting a free webinar to sort through the details of an important accounting change that might be giving auto finance companies grief in meeting new standards that change how institutions account for expected credit losses.
FICO experts plan to explain the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) requirements outlined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) during a 60-minute webinar set for 1 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
"Beginning Dec. 15, 2019, most organizations will have to comply with these new standards. Doing so will require a substantial shift, not just for accountants, but for those in line-of-business, risk, collections and modeling teams within the U.S. auto finance industry," FICO said.
"While these standards create significant challenges for auto finance, they also create opportunities. Winning institutions under the new model will place an increased reliance on data and analytics to aggressively compete for new business while ensuring tight compliance," FICO continued.
David Binder, senior director of FICO Advanced Ventures, and Yuly Oentario, principal consultant at FICO, intend to share strategies to prepare for the deadline, demonstrate compliance and drive business performance improvements that contribute to higher levels of return on risk-adjusted assets moving forward.
Other specific topics on the agenda will include:
—What CECL requires of the auto finance industry and how it's different than previous standards
—What finance companies will need to demonstrate compliance to regulators and auditors
—The challenges finance companies should expect to face in their analytics, operations, line-of-business, and corporate strategies
—The core steps recommended to meet CECL requirements
—Why CECL requirements provide a unique opportunity for competitive advantage for those who deploy the right strategy to comply
—A timeline that will help finance companies achieve consistent progress towards full compliance by December 2019

Have you tried Dragon Dictation for the iPhone? It's a pretty remarkable app and the fact that it is free is even more remarkable. If you're looking for a way to record your thoughts in spoken form and automatically convert them into written form then this app is for you.
I haven't used this app a lot because even though it does a pretty darn good job of converting my speech into text, I find that I don't usually speak the way that I write. But it might just get me to change the way I speak ;-).
I also haven't learned all of the commands for punctuation, but 'period' and 'newline' work just fine.

Their fur helps them adapt to any kind of weather, these dogs being more than grateful if you can offer them a backyard where they can run. But they can also live happy in a smaller house or apartment, as long as they enjoy long walks on a daily basis. And if you make sure to socialize your Labrador with other dogs and animals since he is a puppy, your dog won't have any troubles accepting other animals around. Just do have in mind that Labradors are retrievers, so they may display a particular attraction toward chasing birds and small animals, so you should be careful about this behavior when the dog is just a puppy. On the other hand, you could use this to teach your dog to retrieve things, like a ball, stick, toy, or anything else, the Labrador being a working dog that loves to please his master.
Just be aware that they are natural food beggars, loving to eat almost everything they get their mouth on. So, no matter how heartbreaking your dog's puppy eyes are, you should avoid giving him too many treats or scraps from your table, because it may end up being an overweighed dog.

( I left both backup loaders to HBC (wiigator+forsaekn + wiigator only) - Installs were fine (except that IOS36 mentioned something abut RET -1 (maybe info text if I remember correctly but install said complete and ok) - Backups do not work very well (tried both scrubbed and non-scrubbed) - I decided at this point to use Cios_downgrader (to 3.2E). Seemed it didn't do much?, starfall still in place etc. - I also removed both IOS248 and IOS249 several times with anytitledeleter and reinstalled them (currently having softchip one as IOS248. Wiigator gamma one as IOS249. Still no luck, almost all backups tend to freeze during loads (geomtery wars when galaxy is selected and loaded, RTL winter sports when single event is loaded etc.) Could there be some problems in my IOS system (homebrew channel says IOS is IOS36 ver. 4.18. Anytitledeleter informs that I currenttly use IOS36. Or is it more likey to have iso/media/burner problem?

Are lonely people more lonely?
July 17th, 2007
I rode home on the bus today. Of the twenty or thirty people with whom I shared the bus, I think a handful of us were not on a cell phone or listening to portable music players through headphones. So as I sat there watching my fellow travellers I couldn't help thinking:
Do any of these people think of themselves as travelling with other people? Is there any sense of community in this random gathering?
What does the world look like to someone who is lonely when everyone on the bus is on a cell phone? And when everyone is on a cell phone who are the truly lonely people anyway?
And what is everyone listening to on those headsets?

Google Turns 17 Today!
Google's worth is now of billions. This is the transformation of big dream into reality that has made a significant contribution how the world uses the internet. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both PhD candidates came up with an idea to create universal search engine that would compare sites by the relationships between them & other sites on the WWW. They were going to name BackRub.
One year later, in 1997, the renamed it and on the 14th Sep 1997 google.com was officially registered as a domain name. The main idea of them was to organize all the information that could be gathered from the world and in the form of and index and this is exactly what they did. During the years Google extended its partnership. In 2004, the web-based email service was provided with storage of 1GB and this was the year that Google Earth was launched which mapped the earth using satellite imagery. In 2005, Google joined with NASA to produce Google Moon and Google Mars. In 2006, Google Video was introduced to the public, YouTube was acquired and Google Docs service was launched. It is estimated Google has around 54% of the market share for search engines.
Google's official birthday is September 7, 1998. If Google were a person, it would have started elementary school late last summer (around August 19), and today it would have just finished the first grade. In other words, we're just getting started."
– An expired version of Google's page.
Google has celebrated its anniversary with doodle every year from its fourth in 2002. At present, it's celebrating 17th anniversary with doodle which is a chunky plastic PC, lava lamp and the 1998 "Google!" logo; to encourage users to wish the company.
The creators write about the doodle:
"For our 17th birthday, we offer a glimpse into our humble beginnings, when branded hockey jerseys were cool and Savage Garden had a number-one single."
In the past Google has admitted that it's not sure of the exact date of anniversary but Sep 1998 was the month when google.com domain was registered and first investor Andy Bechtolsheim has written a cheque to Google for $100,000.
Google is now the fourth biggest company in terms of market value and has 70 offices in more than 40 countries around the globe.
Future Goals of Google
Google has announced its future plans to launch a wireless service of its own; this service will be Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) it means that Google will "rent" access to networks from companies.

Short-term loans are emergency credit products of relatively small amounts designed for short-term financial issues only and can become an expensive product if used for long-term purposes.
The owner and operator of laon.us is not a lender and is not involved into making credit decisions associated with lending or making loan offers. Instead, the website is designed only for a matching service, which enables the users contact with the lenders and third parties. The website does not charge any fees for its service, nor does it oblige any user to initiate contact with any of the lenders or third parties or accept any loan product or service offered by the lenders. All the data concerning short-term loan products and the industry is presented on the website for information purposes only. laon.us does not endorse any particular lender, nor does it represent or is responsible for the actions or inactions of the lenders. laon.us does not collect, store or has access to the information regarding the fees and charges associated with the contacting lenders and/or any loan products.

The lenders may need to perform credit check via one or more credit bureaus, including but not limited to major credit bureaus in order to determine credit reliability and the scopes of credit products to offer. The lenders in the network may need to perform additional verifications, including but not limited to social security number, driver license number, national ID or other identification documents. The terms and scopes of loan products vary from lender to lender and can depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the state of residence and credit standing of the applicant, as well as the terms determined by each lender individually.
Late Payment Implications
It is highly recommended to contact the lender if late payment is expected or considered possible. In this case, late payment fees and charges may be implied. Federal and state regulations are determined for the cases of late payment and may vary from case to case. All the details concerning the procedures and costs associated with late payment are disclosed in loan agreement and should be reviewed prior to signing any related document.
APR Representative
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the loan rate calculated for the annual term. Since laon.us is not a lender and has no information regarding the terms and other details of short-term loan products offered by lenders individually, laon.us cannot provide the exact APR charged for any loan product offered by the lenders.

Additional actions related to non-payment, such as renewals, may be implied upon given consent. The terms of renewal are to be disclosed in each loan agreement individually.

Debt collection practices and other related procedures may be performed.

The majority of lenders do not refer to outside collection agencies and attempt to collect the debt via in-house means.
Non-payment and late payment may have negative impact on the borrowers' credit standing and downgrade their credit scores, as the lenders may report delinquency to credit bureaus, including but not limited to Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. In this case the results of non-payment and late payment may be recorded and remain in credit reports for the determined amount of time.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
Greetings and Happy New Year! I trust each of you celebrated the birth of our Savior surrounded with family and friends!
As 2013 comes to an end, I reflect on the goodness of God throughout our Emmaus Community. We, as a community and Board, experienced many challenges, blessings, and oppositions. Changes came quickly this year as did some struggles, but your Board stood firm together and we persevered, stood firm in our faith and trusted that God would do what God does best, take care of all things. The four walks were awesome as all walks are and Jehovah Jirah provided all that we needed and blessed us with more of His abundance.
You and I experienced His grace in a fresh, new way, and now we move forward to 2014 knowing that God truly blessed 2013 and will continue to bless us as a community of faithful believers ready and willing to be obedient servants and stewards as He calls us. Our scheduled walks are rising to a level of such excitement that it's becoming difficult not to anticipate. I urge each you that if you have not signed up to work one of these walks, please go to our website and put your name in to work. This is a blessing you will not want to miss. Again, the walk fee has been decreased to $160 for team members and pilgrims.
I want to give God praise for providing such a powerful Board in 2013, as they assisted me with such wisdom, discernment, and tackling the tasks that were given to each of us. Your Board never wavered but sought God's direction for each and every decision that was made. To God be the glory. Your Board thanks you for your support, your prayers, and your love for this year. Just knowing your were there giving of yourselves with these things only made us stronger and more determined to make our Community stronger than ever before.
I have been so abundantly blessed as being your Chairman for 2013 and it has humbled me knowing that God gives His direction and we just follow Him. I look forward with extreme excitement to see what God has for us as a Community. We move forward knowing we have the abounding grace of God!

Legislator MaryJane Shimsky Chairs Informative Meeting on County Executive's Proposed Kensico Ice Skating Rink
Proposal Raises Serious Fiscal Feasibility Questions That Still Need Answers
(WHITE PLAINS, NY) On Tuesday, the Westchester County Board of Legislators (BOL) Committee on Infrastructure reviewed County Executive Rob Astorino's proposed ice skating rink to be located at the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla. Legislators, including Infrastructure Chair MaryJane Shimsky (D-Hastings-on-Hudson) asked tough questions about the proposal's economic viability and its wisdom given the many competing priorities in the County's parks and recreation budget. Attendees included Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett, Consultant Dan Biedermann of Biedermann Redevelopment Ventures, and representatives of engineering firm Woodard & Curran, the County Parks Department, and Friends of Westchester County Parks.
The Committee discussed the financial impact to taxpayers of the $24.7 million project, which would be financed through bonding, with repayment ranging from 15 to 25 years. The Biedermann report anticipated annual operating losses of approximately $400 thousand, based on the best case attendance scenario.
Among many other specifics, discussed were the physical plant which would include an elliptical shaped recreational rink, the refrigeration and drainage systems, and a new building to hold equipment including two ice resurfacing machines. The necessary lighting and bleachers for the ice rink are currently proposed to be brought in on a temporary, as-needed basis. The costs for these items had not been factored into the fiscal analysis. Lockers may have to be added to the proposed concession building upgrades, at an additional cost.
A number of questions were posed by Legislators; these will require follow-up in the coming weeks.
"While we learned some things about the scope and costs of the County executive's proposal today, many more questions were raised which we will need to address. Based on proposed capital costs and Mr. Beiderman's initial projections of operating debt, the annual cost to the county per skater may range as high as $108, while the per-skater revenue will be closer to $14," said Shimsky. "While we all agree that public parks are an important part of the quality of life in Westchester County, I'm not sure how the County Executive reconciles taking on this project. He has closed popular recreation assets like the Sprain Ridge pool, forgone critical repairs and maintenance at the historic crown jewel of our Parks system, Playland Amusement Park, and has deferred maintenance at other parks, all because he claimed that taxpayers could not afford them."
"I have yet to be convinced that we should neglect existing recreational facilities, and ignore other fiscal problems in a 2017 budget that is already falling behind revenue projections, in favor of pursuing yet another skating rink in Westchester County. This is not the move of a fiscal conservative," concluded Shimsky.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Hardware, Devices and Utilities' started by fernylocs, Nov 7, 2010.
What's the fastest way to restore your wii back to original. hack free. thanks.
impossible to do so
see explanation here: http://gbatemp.net/t207126-modmii-for-wind...t&p=3028841
the next best thing would be to delete any custom channels u have installed (like the HBC), run the darkcorp uninstaller only if u had it installed in the first place, and that's about it, u can always perform an official update via nintendo too if u like
What I want to know are why so many people are worried about restoring their Wiis. Who cares if its been hacked, just delete the channels you dont want.
What's weirder is that they're wanting to 'virginise' a Wii after they intentionally wanted to mod it in the first place. Your Wii will continue to function as long as you don't update, and there are so many methods of grabbing latest IOS files to get the best compatibility now that there is literally no point in updating now. Nintendo gives you a new feature for the console? Grab the IOS file with ModMii.
nintendo does. maybe the op needs to send it in for repair
As said above by XFlak, it is impossible to remove all the traces Nintendo can find (and looks for), so there is no real reason in trying, except stuff like tricking other people.
EDIT: As someone pointed out to me, there are 2 ways that should make it possible to 'virginize' the Wii, but method 1 requires a NAND backup before you did anything except installing bootMii into boot2, an old boot1 to be able to do so and boot2 must be older than v4. And method 2 requires a NAND programmer or something similar. And if you know how to use and have such stuff you should also be able to repair you Wii, save for spare parts.

Air Today – Gone Tomorrow
Nemcova –v- Fairfield Rents Limited [2016] UKUT 303 (LC)
Very short term lettings, such as those offered on Air B'n'B and its competitors, are becoming increasingly popular. The tenant in this case had been granting short term sublettings of this nature.
The landlord applied to the First Tier Tribunal ("FTT") for a declaration that this was a breach of the covenant to use the property as a private residence. The FTT found in favour of the landlord, and the tenant appealed to the Upper Tribunal ("UT"). The UT considered the covenant and agreed with the FTT.
The case sounds a warning bell for flat owners who are engaging in similar lettings, but it also gives some very useful reminders on how the Courts will approach the interpretation of leases.
The facts
The case concerned a flat in a purpose-built block in Enfield. The tenant owned a 99 year lease that had very few restrictions on sublettings or assignments. However, it did contain a covenant not to use the flat for any illegal or immoral purpose or for any purpose whatsoever "other than as a private residence".
The tenant did not live in the flat full-time and had been subletting the flat for very short periods. To facilitate this, she had set up a website advertising her and her partner's homes as alternatives to hotels. The website used the services of a reservation system that also listed the flat on other short-let websites.
The landlord applied to the FTT for a determination under Section 168(4) of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 that the tenant had breached the terms of the lease.
Key points to note were:
- The tenant continued to pay the council tax and all other utilities for the flat;
- The flat was still her main residence even if she did not live there full-time;
- She stayed in the flat herself about 3-4 days a week;
- She had sublet the flat for about 90 days of the year;
- She had sublet the flat about 7 times in the last 12 months; and
- The sublettings were almost all to business visitors rather than holiday lets.
The First Decision
The FTT found that the tenant was in breach because people were renting the flat on a short-term subletting and therefore were not occupying it as their home. Consequently the tenant could not be using the flat as a private residence.
The tenant appealed to the UT on the basis that the FTT had misconstrued the covenant and sought a declaration as to its true meaning.
The Appeal Decision
At the outset, the UT asked itself this question: "If the leaseholder advertises on the internet the availability of the premises (a flat) for short term lettings and grants a series of such lettings, do the leaseholder's actions breach the covenant?"
To find the answer, the UT started with a consideration of how to construe the covenant, noting that long residential leases were notoriously difficult contracts. The key point had to be the meaning of the particular words used in their particular, fact-specific, context.
The UT did not agree with the tenant that the FTT had erred in law. However, in light of the fact that every covenant and every set of facts will be different, the UT did feel that the FTT had given too much weight to previous cases. Instead, it should have carried out a more detailed analysis of the lease, the covenant, and the general context.
Given the breadth of the alienation provisions, which allowed the tenant substantial freedom to deal with the whole of the flat, the key covenant was not any restriction on subletting, but rather the obligation to use the premises as "a private residence". It was this covenant that required detailed analysis.
The UT duly carried out this analysis, finding that the covenant did not require the flat to be used as "the private residence of the tenant". Instead, the flat had to be used as "a" private residence. There was no requirement that the property had to be used as the "only" or "principal" residence. The UT drew a very clear distinction between the words "the" and "a", because a person can have more than one residence. For example, he might have a permanent residence that he calls home and a temporary residence for holidays.
Consequently the UT felt that it was irrelevant whether the subtenants had other properties that were more permanent residences, but it was still necessary for them to think of the flat as their residence, however short-term. So long as the occupiers were using the flat as their private residence, the covenant could be observed.
So far, so good for the tenant. However, the UT went on to say that the duration of the occupation was critical. To be a true "private residence" there had to be some degree of permanence, which meant residing in the property for more than a few nights. If the use of the property were very fleeting and transient in nature, the occupier would not consider the property to be his private residence – even for the time being. Consequently the UT agreed with the FTT that the tenant's short-term sublettings were a breach of the lease.
However, its overall answer to the opening question was a clear message not to rely too heavily on previous authorities, as each case will be different: "It is not possible therefore to give a definitive answer to the question posed at the beginning of this ruling save to say somewhat obliquely that 'It all depends.'"
Our comments
As the UT made clear in its conclusion, this case was fact-specific and every single case will require the same degree of analysis of the key covenants in their own factual context.
However, the case is very important given the current trend for residential property owners to offer their homes for such short-term lets, and it is very common indeed for leases to contain a similar covenant restricting the use to that of a private residence. Unless a higher court reaches a different conclusion, the decision might well affect anyone currently using their property for this purpose, or anyone looking to acquire an investment property.
The decision will also be relevant to landlords of existing leases, or developers selling new-build flats, who may wish to insert appropriate covenants into the leases.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Wedding Gown Time Line
12 Months before the wedding
The very first thing you should do is decide on the season, date and time of the wedding.
Before you start looking at dresses (I know it is extremely tempting to do so) picking a season is crucial. Will it be Fall, Spring, Summer, or winter? Often, the season sets the tone of the wedding, it helps you pick your colors, and what the bridal party should wear.
The date of your wedding can be chosen for many number of reasons; like a sentimental date for you or your future hubby, a long weekend break so people can travel, during the week so you can get that gorgeous venue at a more affordable price. Then, the time of the wedding, daytime, noon, afternoon, etc. Thinking about the overall atmosphere of your wedding is important so you can know how hot, sunny, cold, windy, or maybe even rainy it is going to be so you and your entourage can be ready.
Announce your wedding! You may want to do this through the use of Save the Date cards, the radio, your local newspaper, etc.
Next, you should decide on a venue!
It may be outside in a beautiful winery on fall time, an exotic beach resort with only your family, or at a luxurious hotel in the summer time. Your venue really sets the tone for your wedding!
If your wedding is going to be outside, think about how a thick and very heavy dress will feel in mid-summer day. On the other hand, a light chiffon gown will not work so well on a winter wonderland theme wedding.
12 to 8 months before your wedding
Make your wedding dress appointment!
Start shopping for your gown, make your appointment or just stop by. You can come by our store with your wedding vision, so we can help you narrow down to your dress. By making an appointment we can have a special one-on-one time with you and your family.
Don't forget about your girls!
What look do you want for your bridesmaids? After you know what look you want to rock for your wedding, then start shopping for what look you want for your girls.
8 to 6 months before your wedding
Order your wedding gown!
In real life eight months to order a dress sounds like a lot of time, but in wedding time, it is just the right amount of time. Wedding gowns are a special breed of dresses. It might feel that you are placing your order so far in advance of your wedding, but in reality, you will allow ample time for production and shipping. It also affords you and us a comfortable time frame to accommodate any alterations if necessary.
Note: Designers periodically discontinue their styles without advance notice.
Make a final decision about bridesmaids!
I know how much fun is to see your girls try on different styles and hang out with them, but its time to make a final decision on what they are going to wear. Also, pick the color. Is everybody going to wear the same style? Everybody same style, but the maid of honor? Everybody different styles? Maybe everybody different colors....this can be pulled off but you have to make the decision soon, so everybody will have to get measured and fitted properly. Also, alterations might be in order, so time is key.
What is your groom going to wear?
He might not be helping, he might not know anything that's going on, and he probably thinks everything will just fall right into place magically, but he is still a very important part of the wedding. It might be good for him to shop for his tux with you ;)
Also, details will take time, so think about his socks, tie, pocket square, or any extra attire for small that might seem, get it in the moment and not later.
We match our groomsmen to our bridesmaid dresses' color, so he can be part of this as well.
Choose your accessories!
After you pick your dress, you can start thinking about your veil, headpiece, shoes.
6 to 4 months before your wedding
Accessories and hair style...again.
All your accessories should by purchased, or put on layaway. Some veils or accessories might not be in stock at the store, and sometimes it takes a month to two to get them in. You need to start making decisions of how are going to wear your hair, the headpiece that you order should go with the theme of the wedding.
Don't forget the moms!
Go shopping with your mom and make sure your future mother-in-law is shopping for her outfits. Their attire has to coordinate with the wedding, and it as to be appropriate. If your bridesmaids are wearing pink, it doesn't mean they should as well but they should wear a complementary color like a light sage green or a more natural color that balance the pink on the wedding pictures such as silver. Also, the length of the dresses should be the same so they will feel more comfortable and equally important (and it looks good in pictures too.)
3 months to 6 weeks before your wedding
It's time for your first fitting!
By this time (if you order your gown on time) your dress should be in, so you can come by and do your first fitting.
Some things to think about:
Your underwear: Depending on the dress and location, the underwear and accessories should match it; meaning, do you need a corset, a petticoat, high heels, flip-flops, strapless bra, no underwear (J.K. do wear underwear!)
Also, When your dress arrives at the boutique, it has to go through an inspection, to make sure everything is perfect, no little problems at all. However, if anything is found the dress will be sent back to the manufacturer and a replacement will have to come in, which it will go through quality control as well. Those are things that should not worry you since that's the reason you are buying your dress from a brick-and-mortar store and not online. None the less, the process takes time, so this is one of the reasons you order your dress months in advance.
Who is going to do your make-up?
A friend, a professional, a beginner, your mom's friend's cousin's niece, yourself? Whoever does your make-up they should do a trial run. Be nice, but be objective and honest with you and the person. Too much make-up and your future grand children may think you had a black-eye. Too little and you may look like you were sick that day.
4 weeks before your wedding
Time for fitting #2!
At this time, we will coordinate with you everything how many fittings are needed. Also, what else you need for your dress.
Everybody else.
Your bridesmaids, mom, future mother-in-law, groom, groomsman, flower girls, and everybody in your party should have all their garments, like shoes, accessories, head pieces, socks, etc.
2 weeks before your wedding
It's time for your final fitting with us!
Around this time, you should have your last fitting. Many brides choose to leave their dress to be picked up the day before the wedding. No to alarm you, but brides tend to lose or gain weight around the final two weeks due to stress. This is when the dress pick-up time is scheduled.
Other things you need to be doing...
* Gather all the things you will need for the wedding. Don't think "I will pick that up later" , "I have that in my office" , "my mother has that"...... get them all together.
*Get your final hair trim.
*If you want to tan, do it now. Spray or tanning bed it doesn't matter.
*Make your manicure and pedicure appointment.
*Do your final hair trial with your hair and make-up person.
A side note: If you schedule your final hair and make-up trial before your final dress fitting, you can see how your hair and make-up will look with your dress, and we can take a picture for you :)
1 week before your wedding
It's show time...
*Make sure you have all your attire together and ready, like dress, undergarments, shoes, accessories, etc.
*What are you going to wear the day after the wedding? Get it together, and pack it.
*Groomsmen should pick up their tuxedos.
*Pamper yourself, manicure, pedicure, get a facial and a massage.

January, 2006 Contest: Do you have guests or were you a guest for the holidays and what was the experience like?
Congratulations to our contest winner!
Rebecca Patterson of New York, NY
Not wanting to subject my 6-old baby to a lot of holiday travel, I volunteered to have Christmas at our Manhattan loft apartment this year. We had planned on 12 friends and relatives coming; 16 showed up! Still, it proved to be a wonderful, intimate day. As with many New York apartments, we didn't have room for a proper sit-down meal. Instead, we used our kitchen counter as a buffet and organized chairs and tables into small groupings so family and friends could comfortably share stories from the year past while they ate. We also made sure Christmas decorations were well dispersed throughout the apartment so that every seating grouping had some holiday touches. Dessert was a big hit: hot, homemade profiteroles with different ice creams for fillings, sauces and accompanying liquers- everyone could mix and match to their liking and it wasn't too much work for the hostess. After exchanging gifts and relaxing over coffee, we presented each of our departing guests with inexpensive small silk purses we had found at an Indian shop filled with chocolates: a sweet snack for the ride home.

- 2300 ml plain water
- 3 pandan leaves
- to taste sugar
1 Soak black soybean for at least 5 hours or overnight (keep refrigerated if soaked overnight), then drain off the water.
2 Add 1 part of black soybean and 3 parts of water into a blender (the ratio of bean and water is 1:3).
3 Blend with HIGH speed for 1 minute, rest for 15 seconds (to avoid overheating), then continue blending for another minute until very fine.
4 Pour into cloth filter bag, then repeat the same process for the remaining black soybean.
5 Squeeze out the black soybean milk.

7 Cook on HIGH (1000 W) in microwave until boiling, then continue to boil for another 1-2 minutes. (The whole process takes about 40 minutes. Keep an eye in case of overflow, but I don't have this problem with mine.)
8 The black soybean milk is cooked.
9 Remove the beancurd layer.
10 Sweeten to taste with sugar. Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days.
1 Keep an eye when soy milk is about to boil just in case of overflow.
2 If black soybean is soaked for just 5 hours, the colour of black soybean milk will be slightly grey (due to the black colour of the skin). The black soybeans shown in the video have been soaked overnight.
3 Soy milk must be fully boiled before consumption. You may cook the soy milk on stove top if you don't want to use microwave, please refer to: Homemade Soybean Milk (No Soy Milk Maker)

A friend of mine was taking psychology at San Francisco State College. The professor and class were discussing Penis Envy, or more accurately, they were discussing the reams of evidence refuting this redoubtable phenomenon.
The professor told the students of the experience of a friend of hers...
A male friend was taking a shower in the presence of his three-year-old daughter. The daughter looked at her dad and said, "Daddy, you have a penis."
The father said, "Yes, I do."
The kid said, "I don't have a penis."
The dad said, "Yes, that's right."
The kid said, "Mommy doesn't have a penis."
Again, the dad confirmed.
The daughter frowned, and then looked up at her dad reassuringly and said, "Well Daddy, I don't think you should worry, because yours is very small."
The psychology professor thought this was an excellent case for the existence of "Penis Pity."

TEL AVIV – Liam Rubin was drafted into the Israeli army as a female before undergoing a sex change with the full support of the IDF and her battalion, the Jerusalem Post reported.
"During my military service, I came to learn a great deal about myself and the extent to which I was in denial about who I really am," Liam Rubin, who was known as Linoy when she first enlisted, wrote in a Facebook post. "That was when I came out of the closet as a transgender and began a process of changing my sex."
"That means taking hormones and visiting many doctors," Rubin wrote. "The amazing part is that the army allowed me to do all of that and remain in my battalion."
Rubin said that her change was accepted by comrades and commanders in the Caracal co-ed combat battalion.
Rubin writes that initially she was not permitted by the army's Medical Corps to undergo a procedure to remove her breasts. "The words 'sex change' scared the higher ups," Rubin wrote.
"I did not give up! I filed a complaint against the Medical Corps. A month later, I received a phone call from the army's soldier complaints representative, who said to me: 'Good news, your complaint has been accepted, and the Medical Corps will change its policy as it relates to individual transgender operations.'"
The Post reported that the army subsidized Rubin's sex change operation.
"I am a proud transgender and an even prouder combat soldier serving in the IDF, and I will continue to fight in order to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by our community," Rubin wrote.
Commenting that there are more than 60 transgender soldiers in the IDF, Rubin said "this number is only going to go up."

When terrorism touches your country, it affects you personally. But we must remember that this is happening in so many countries around the world. Thousands of refugees are running from this very same threat.
My hope is that these attacks unite the people of France, people of all colours and religions. Terrorism comes from hate. We cannot fight it with hate for each other.

Black The role of the criminal justice system with regard to financial fraud by elite bankers in 2011 is likely to reprise its role last decade -- de facto decriminalization. The Galleon investigation of insider trading at hedge funds will take much of the FBI's and the Department of Justice's (DOJ) focus. The state attorneys general investigations of foreclosure fraud do focus on the major players such as the Bank of America (BoA), but they are unlikely to lead to criminal liability for any senior bank officials. It is most likely that they will lead to financial settlements that include new funding for loan modifications. The FBI and the DOJ remain unlikely to prosecute the elite bank officers that ran the enormous "accounting control frauds" that drove the financial crisis. While over 1000 elites were convicted of felonies arising from the savings and loan (S&L) debacle, there are no convictions of controlling officers of the large nonprime lenders.

Mystery Babylon the Great is Revealed
Mystery Babylon the great, is the mother of the great whore and represents confusion and idolatry. The word Babylon literally means confusion.
Mystery Babylon need not be a mystery. Through the Spirit of Yahshua, we can know of Satan's devices and not be deceived by them.
Just as the mystery of the Gospel of Yahshua is revealed by the Spirit, so too is the revelation of this Mystery Babylon system.
Without Satan, this Mystery Babylon phenomenon could not exist. The mystery of iniquity is the workings of Satan, blinding men from the truth of Yahshua. This iniquity will only intensify in the last days, known as The Great Tribulation.
The Mother of Harlots produces or orchestrates confusion, idolatry, and deceit. In Yahshua, we can have life, but Satan who gives birth to all false religions produces death and destruction.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Almost the entire focus of Revelation chapters 17 through 19, are on Mystery Babylon. Interestingly enough, only six verses in these chapters are devoted to the Great Whore, and in these six verses the following is revealed:
- John is told that the judgment of the Great Whore will be revealed to him (Rev 17:1).
- A brief description of the Great Whores sins is given, explaining why she is to be judged (Rev 17:2).
- The place she occupies is given (Rev 17:1, 15).
- This judgment is indeed revealed to be at the hands of the ten kings that destroy her (Rev 17:16).
- The Lord God is righteous in His judgment of her (Rev 19:2).
Mystery Babylon The Great Will Destroy The Great Whore
Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
This Great Whore (that represents spiritual idolatry), occupies the minds of many people who subscribe to this belief system, or have been indoctrinated by this spirit of deception. The headquarters of her Spiritual deception if you will, is in Jerusalem. The Whore occupies a place, and represents a people group, that have corrupted others through great idolatry (Rev 17:15).
The vast majority of the world is already drunk from the deception, grand illusions, and idolatry that this Whore system has produced, at the hands of Mystery Babylon. Without the Holy Spirit of Yahshua, how can we understand the Mystery of the Kingdom of God?
The ten kings will destroy the place and power of the Great Whore system. The Mother of Harlots, or Satan, will take over and occupy Jerusalem. The Beast and False Prophet, are the new representatives of this Mystery Babylon system, that most of the world will fall prey to.
The word mystery is used twenty-seven times in the New Testament.
- Twenty-two times it is used in reference to the mystery of the Gospel, the Mystery of Godliness or the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- The key to the mystery of Yahshua, and His Gospel, that can only be known through His Holy Spirit, is described in Eph 3:4-5.
- Twice it is used to describe Satan's system, known as Mystery Babylon, and the city he desecrates (Rev 17:18; Rev 14:8; Rev 16:19; Rev 18:10; 16, 18,19, 21).
- The mystery of the blindness of Israel after the flesh is referred to in Rom 11:15.
- It is also used in reference to the mystery of iniquity (2 Thes 2:7). The identity of the architect of this "mystery of iniquity," is only unknown to those that are blinded by him, as he is the god of this world (2 Cor 4:1-14).
The mystery of God, even the Father who is also the Messiah (Col 2:2).
Iniquity is the violation of the Law of Yahshua, and all who are offended by Him are workers of iniquity (Rom 8:2; 10:4; 1 John 3:4; Math 23:28; Math 13:41; 2 Cor 6:14).
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The architects or instigators of this idolatry, or spiritual deception (through Satan as the chess master behind the scenes), are referred to as a people, a multitude (or class of people), a nation and a tongue (or language).
Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
There are several clues within this verse to help the reader understand the identity of these waters.
The word and, that is used, is that of a connector. A better word that should have been used instead of and, would have been the word, also. The reference here is to a group, and also a certain class of people, they also represent a nation, and also a tongue.
Up until their destruction and removal from power, a multitude in Jerusalem who are without Yahshua, represent a class of people, a tongue and a nation. The Whore system is to be removed by the ten kings. After the two witnesses have been murdered in Jerusalem by the Beast, those that rejoice over this act, are a different group of people entirely. They are referred to as peoples, kindreds,(or tribes of the nations) tongues and nations (Rev 11:8-10).
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
The Gentiles or nations will crush or tread upon the Holy City.
The use of these four words used together in one sentence, people(s), multitude(s), nation(s) and tongue(s), occurs nowhere else in the book of Revelations.
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
This verse is an obvious referral to the city of Jerusalem (Math 23:31; Luke 11:47; Romans 11:3; 1 Thes 2:15).
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Yahshua will gather the nations to the great battle of Armageddon. He will completely destroy the entire Mystery Babylon system, take the Kingdom and reign with His Elect on earth (Rev 18:8; Rev 16:14; Zec 14:2; Dan 2:44; Dan 7:9-22; Mathew 6:10).
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
The abomination of desolations in these last days represents the final period of time, in which God's holy mountain is desecrated by evil and idolatry.
This period of deception, also, is far greater than that of the Great Whore's reign of terror.
Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
The daily sacrifice is not taken away. The word sacrifice is added to this verse in a futile attempt, to create the justification for another false teaching. Many so-called prophecy teachers declare that a 7-year covenant is made between Israel and Satan and that will animal sacrifices will be reinstated. This pathetic excuse for Biblical theology is exposed in the article that explains the mystery that is concealed in Daniel 9:27.
The daily, or continual, is taken away by the man of sin. Obviously, he will create quite a bit of turmoil, and the daily, which refers to the continuance of everyday events will radically be altered.
Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
This last and short-lived kingdom will definitely change the daily events for everyone.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
This demonically inspired Beast will change the laws of God, and he will demand to be worshiped as god.
The Wine of The Wrath of Mystery Babylon The Great
Rev 18:2-3 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
There is a huge difference between being drunk, and drinking or partaking in something.
Rev 17:2 …and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
In Rev 17:2, the word drunk, literally means to become intoxicated. It is referring to those in the world that are without the Spirit of truth, and are oblivious to the fact that they have become intoxicated with idolatry and deceptions.
The wine of the great whore's fornication refers to the spiritual idolatry that the world has been intoxicated with. This occurs as a result of adhering to her many damnable doctrines of deception. The word drunk used in this verse has a completely different meaning from the word drink used in Rev 18:3.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication…
To drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication is to partake of the punishment reserved for all those who practice iniquity (Mat 13:41, 23:28, 2 Thes 2:7).
All who worship the Beast (Satan) and the image of the Beast (the man of sin), are the ones who receive his spiritual mark. These shall partake of the wrath of God after the Great Tribulation (Rev 14:8-11, 16:19, 19:15).
In Rev 18:3, the words have drunk, should be changed to will drink. God's wrath is imminent in this verse but has yet to transpire. See Rev 14:10, for the proper context.
Simply stated all that partake in this Mystery Babylon deception, who worship Satan and the Beast are condemned to hell (Rev 14:9, 11; Rev 15:2; Rev 19:20).
Those that have been deceived into worshiping this Beast and Satan, will suffer the wrath of God. The wine of this Mystery Babylon system represents Satan's false religion. As the Mother of Harlots, or Whores, this fornication represents idolatry, which is worship of anyone or anything other than the One true God.
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Mystery Babylon the great gave birth to the great Whore, and will also bring about her ultimate demise at the hands of the ten kings.
Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Mystery Babylon the Great is destroyed directly by God. The Great Whore is destroyed by the ten kings, as God puts it into their hearts to do so (Rev 17:16-17).
Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning
The kings of the earth lament after the destruction of Mystery Babylon, and all of the merchants of the earth weep for her, but no one weeps when the Great Whore is destroyed.
Rev 13:7-8 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Power over kindreds, and tongues, and nations but not all people
Satan, or the Mother of Whores, will accomplish that which her daughter the Great Whore did not. All who are not sealed through Christ will succumb to the seduction, entrapment and ultimate goal of the Mystery Babylon deception; the deceived will worship him and the Beast he controls (Rev 13:8).
Jerusalem Will be the Seat of Mystery Babylon The Great
Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Jerusalem is to be that great city that reigns over the kings of the earth, as the Beast sets up his headquarters there.
Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Jerusalem is the city where the prophets and apostles were killed.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent to you (Matt 23:37)
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
The words great and city are used together as a single phrase ten times in the New Testament. All of these references are found in the book of Revelations. Nine times the reference is made towards Mystery Babylon, and once with respect to New Jerusalem, that Great City that descends out of Heaven (Rev 21:10).
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Obviously, with the Beast reigning in this city, it is referred to spiritually as Sodom and Egypt. Therefore Mystery Babylon is no longer a mystery!
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication
Jerusalem the Holy City will be desecrated by Satan (Isa 52:1; Rev 21:2; Rev 22:10, 19).
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Growing up, we often meet people that say mean things, spread rumors, take credit for other people's work, and do other uncouth things we figure adults would never do. Turns out that's not the case, and years later, we encounter these same types of individuals in our professional lives.
What's a decent, honest person to do? A good start is reading freelance writer Jamie Harrison's Black Enterprise piece titled "Five Tips for Handling Tough Workplace Personalities." In it, she calls out some of the troublemakers we've all met in our professional dealings and shares great advice on how to rise above the drama.
First on Harrison's list: "the shade thrower." This is someone who slanders you with backhanded compliments and snarky remarks, and as Harrison writes, these types of people are insecure and "merely trying to make themselves feel more powerful" by bagging on others. The solution: confront them in a courteous and professional manner and put a stop to things. If you remain silent, you'll seem like a pushover, and things will only get worse.
Next up for Harrison is "the gossiper." While it's sometimes tempting to whisper about your coworkers and all the crazy things they're up to, doing so is dangerous — especially if the boss finds out. Harrison's advice: Next time the gossip gets going about who's dating or doing whatever, change the subject. It also helps to keep a low profile at the office; that way, the gossip will know better than to engage you.
Arguably worse than gossipers are "slackers" — people who put in minimal effort and take credit for everyone else's hard work. These freeloaders have been coasting since grade school group projects, and Harrison's suggestion for dealing with them is a good one: Create a "paper trail" showing your bosses just how little the slacker has contributed to the team.
"Not allowing this lazy coworker to fall short will make him take responsibility for his performance and actions, or lack thereof," Harrison writes.
Similar to the slacker is "the copycat," someone who doesn't just silently benefit from other people's toiling but rather tries to take credit for it. If someone is winning praise from management by pitching your ideas, begin by speaking with them. If that doesn't work, it might be necessary, Harrison writes, to involve the boss and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Finally, there's "the overachiever," that hyper-competitive colleague who always wants to beat you at everything and be the boss' favorite. Harrison's advice: Keep your head down, focus on yourself, and do the best work you can. "Competitiveness," she writes, "is often about making the other person doubt themselves," so don't let this person throw you off your game.
