Rickard Rakell scored twice, Jonathan Bernier made 37 saves and the Anaheim Ducks returned from their bye week with a 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.
Sami Vatanen and Jakob Silfverberg also scored to help the Ducks get their third straight win at home and maintain a two-point lead over Calgary for third in the Pacific Division. Patrick Eaves added an empty-net goal with 1:14 remaining for his first since being acquired from Dallas.
Nazem Kadri scored on the power play, Zach Hyman added his ninth goal of the season and Curtis McElhinney made 31 saves as the Maple Leafs dropped their fifth in a row.
Toronto went winless on its three-game California trip and has won just two of its last 10 away from Air Canada Centre.
The Ducks scored twice in 16 seconds midway through the second period. Rakell followed up Hampus Lindholm's shot for his seventh career multigoal game after Silfverberg converted his own miss with a superb low-angle backhand to tie it at 2.
Kadri gave the Maple Leafs a 2-1 lead 5:53 into the second. Kadri was able to corral the rebound of Tyler Bozak's missed shot and put it around Bernier's left skate. It was Kadri's 26th goal of the season and 11th on the power play.
Rakell put the Ducks up 1-0 midway through the first on his 25th goal of the season, but Chris Wagner did the hard work setting it up. Wagner was able to power through Alexey Marchenko's check at the blue line and skate past him to feed Rakell for the one-timer.
Hyman made it 1-1 with 3:45 left in the first by redirecting Nikita Zaitsev's shot off his wrist and in.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle unsuccessfully challenged the play, claiming that Auston Matthews was offside at the start of the sequence leading to Hyman's goal, but the video replay was inconclusive.
Vatanen scored 1:19 into the third, and Ryan Getzlaf assist gave him five points in his last five games.
NOTES: Toronto G Frederik Andersen, who spent his first three seasons with the Ducks before being traded to the Maple Leafs last June, did not play in his return to Anaheim. Andersen has sat out the second night of Toronto's last five sets of back-to-back games. ... Ducks G John Gibson missed his third consecutive game with a lower-body injury. ... Anaheim is 1 for 33 on the power play in its last 11 games.
Maple Leafs: Host Detroit on Tuesday night.
Ducks: Host Vancouver on Sunday night.

The molecular mechanism of Chinese medicine Uncaria Rhynchophylla (gouteng) for inducing autophagy and protecting neurons in Parkinson's disease
Year of Award

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of protein aggregates (namely Lewy bodies) in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain. Alpha-synuclein (α- syn) is the major component of Lewy bodies (LBs) in PD, and impairment of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway has been linked to its accumulation. In our previous study, we identified corynoxine B (Cory B), an oxindole alkaloid isolated from Uncaria rhynchophylla (Miq.) Jacks (Gouteng in Chinese), as a Beclin-1-dependent autophagy enhancer. In this work, we continued to screen autophagy enhancers from Gouteng alkaloids, and found corynoxine (Cory), an isomer of Cory B, also induces autophagy in different neuronal cell lines and primary neurons. Meanwhile, Cory promotes the formation of autophagosomes in the fat bodies of Drosophila. By inducing autophagy, Cory promotes the clearance of wild-type and A53T α-syn in inducible PC12 cells. Interestingly, different from its enantiomer Cory B, Cory induces autophagy through the Akt/mTOR pathway as evidenced by the reduced levels of phospho-TSC2, phospho-Akt, phospho-mTOR and phospho-p70 S6 Kinase. To identify the different pathway between Cory and Cory B, we performed phosphoproteomic study on N2a cells. With the help of iGPS (In vivo Group-based Prediction System), protein kinases which were significantly regulated by Cory or Cory B were predicted. Based on these kinases, we drew the detailed kinasesubstrates network regulated by Cory or Cory B. The structures of Cory and Cory B differ only in the stereochemistry at the spiro carbon; however, Cory has more effect on the CAMK, Trb and TSSK families, while CDK and CDKL families are more sensitive to Cory B. Furthermore, we established a rotenone rat model of PD via injecting rotenone into the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA), and evaluated the neuroprotection of Cory and Cory B on this rat model. Motor dysfunction, decreased TH level, impairment of autophagy, aggregation of α-syn and activation of microglia were all found on this PD model, which were consistent with previous reports. After the treatment of Cory or Cory B, we found that both Cory and Cory B improve motor dysfunction, increase the TH level, and inhibit microglial activation. Both Cory and Cory B decrease the puncta number of aggregated α-syn, likely due to the induction of autophagy. All these results indicate the neuroprotection of Cory and Cory B against PD. Collectively, our findings (1) provide the original finding of Coy to be an autophagy enhancer with experimental evidences that Cory inhibited the pathway of Akt/mTOR; (2) provide cellular and animal experimental evidences for developing Cory or Cory B as anti-PD agent, by inducing autophagy in neurons; and (3) provide candidate pathways to identify the primary molecular target of Cory or Cory B, which may turn out to be potential therapeutic targets for treating PD. Keywords: Parkinson's disease, Cory, Cory B, autophagy, phosphoproteomic, neuroprotection.

Paul Evans, Set of Three Custom Polished Steel Cylinder Cabinets, USA, c. 1980
This unique set of three monumental semi-cylindrical polished steel cabinets is a wonderful example of Evans' architectural and futuristic furniture created in the 1980s near the end of his prolific career. Evocative of the era in which they were made, the cabinets feature discrete double doors that open and close with gliders and pivot hinges. Each interior reveals ample space with shelving and hooks.
By 1980, Evans had ended his partnership with Directional Furniture to purse his desire to experiment with modular pieces. He opened a New York City retail showroom in the Interior Design Building, displaying an array of stainless steel case pieces, electronically operated designs, and Alucobond furniture. For more information on the pictured pieces, please refer to page 107 of Constance Kimmerle's book, Paul Evans: Crossing Boundaries and Crafting Modernism.
Dimensions: Large Cabinet: 90″ H x 33″ W x 24″ D, Small Cabinet: 89″ H x 38″ W x 19″ D

Edward Scissorhands Tickets
Edward Scissorhands has been brought from the silver screen to the stage.
Based on the film by Tim Burton, Edward Scissorhands is a gothic fairytale set in an
exaggeratedly stereotypical vision of American suburbia that intentionally combines cliches
from both the 1950s and late 1980s. Edward Scissorhands has a central theme of the
isolated, misunderstood major character, a theme that recurs in much of Burton's work.
The musical adaptation of Edward Scissorhands has all of the magic of film and more
with the live experience of Edward's struggle as a misunderstood outcast. The production has
been brought to life by Tony Award winning choreographer Matthew Bourne and a cast of
lively characters.
Edward Scissorhands Tickets available now! ShowTime Ticket Services specializes in tickets for all shows.

Edward Scissorhands Tickets Continued
Edward Scissorhands is a touching story that follows the experiences of a misunderstood character trying to fit in with society. When the neighborhood Avon lady, Mrs. Peg Boggs fails to make any profits in her neighborhood, she goes to the creepy castle on the hill and meets Edward. Edward is an artificial man whose inventor died before being able to put hands on his creation. Instead Edward has long metal scissor-blades for hands. Mrs. Boggs brings Edward home to her family and thus Edward must adjust to life in the suburbs. He falls in love with Kim Boggs, who is frightened of Edward at first, but grows to love him while everybody else in the neighborhood grows to distrust him because of his dangerous condition, especially her boyfriend Jim whom she eventually splits up with after he abandons Edward when they are almost caught stealing. In the end, Edward and Kim go their separate ways, but a love remains between them.

Texarkana Independent School District
The proud history and rich traditions of Texarkana Independent School District (TISD) began with the first graduating class of Texas High School in 1889. In a report to the Board of Education in 1919, the TISD Superintendent of Schools echoed a philosophy that is as appropriate now as it was then:
"Whatever the community is to be in the next decade, the school must make it. The Texarkana of today must determine what the Texarkana of tomorrow is to be by declaring what kind of school it will have. A broadly conceived system of education is a good investment for any community, no matter what it costs, and for Texarkana the investment in good schools will pay a hundredfold."
Over a century later, TISD continues its legacy of excellence in education with strong leadership and high student achievement, which showcases the ever present Tiger Pride.
Currently featuring eleven campuses, along with a virtual school academy, TISD provides a quality education for pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Additionally, the District offers career & technology and special education opportunities for pre-school and school-age children and operates Tiger Learning Centers that provide childcare services for children ages three and up.
TISD's Mission is to provide an exceptional education for all learners in a quality environment which nurtures the intellectual, social, cultural and physical development of each student's overall well-being. The District strives to provide a variety of educational opportunities and involvement to the student, allowing for the development of a well-rounded educational experience.

To speed the flow of commerce across its northern and southern borders, the United States government created a program after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks known as FAST, for Free and Secure Trade.
It turns out that the so-called trusted shipper program, which allows prescreened companies to move their products across the border more quickly, may not be as secure as it sounds.
This month alone, Customs and Border Protection officers stationed in Laredo, Tex., have recovered nearly three tons of marijuana and just over $1 million in cash in trucks crossing from Mexico to the United States — all of them enrolled in the FAST program.
The first seizure took place April 2 after a commercial truck entered the FAST lane. An imaging scan, which is conducted on some FAST trucks just to ensure the program's integrity, discovered some anomalies. A dog then led agents to the rear of the trailer, where 101 bundles of marijuana totaling 2,505 pounds and with a street value of $2.5 million were found.
The following day, another truck supposedly carrying auto parts was also scanned. Officials found 157 bundles of marijuana, which weighed 3,472 pounds and had a value of $3.4 million, hidden among the legitimate cargo.
On April 11, a truck heading south was searched and officials found $1,000,035 in undeclared currency underneath a mattress in the sleeper area of the cab. As in the other cases, the driver, one of tens of thousands enrolled in the FAST program, was arrested.
Gene Garza, the director of Customs in Laredo, portrayed the seizures as a sign of success.
"Our continuous review of our trusted shipper program to ensure compliance with the high standards of the program has proven to be effective," he said in a statement.
But the recent recoveries of contraband in Laredo, as well as other seizures along the Mexican and Canadian borders involving all types of narcotics, raise the question: If so many trusted shippers are getting caught, what are the untrustworthy ones smuggling across?

Each day as the sun begins to rise, the magnificent Angkor
Wat forms a beautiful silhouette against the golden sky. This
morning ritual is attended by thousands of tourists, eagerly
waiting for the right moment to take photos of the landscape,
or just to witness the heavenly scene.
Angkor Wat is one of the many temples of the Angkor
Archaeological Park. Built by King Suryavarman II in the first
half of the 12th century, it was designed to represent Mount
Meru, the mythical mountain in Hindu mythology, and to
act as the central structure of the ancient city. In addition
to Angkor Wat, the Angkor Archaeological Park covers over
400 square kilometres and consists of over a thousand sites,
including the renowned Bayon and Ta Prohm temples.
The region of Angkor served as the capital city of the
Khmer Empire from the 9th to 15th century AD, and is
believed by some researchers to have been the largest
pre-industrial city in the world. Studies have shown that
Angkor could have supported a population of up to
one million people.
Yet the Angkor of today is a vastly different scene. During
the civil war of the 1960s, Khmer Rouge soldiers destroyed
temples, plundered its statues and even used bas-reliefs
as shooting targets. While rampant destruction and target
practice was less frequent after the fall of the regime, looting
and thievery still remains a big problem. Many of Angkor's
magnificent temples have since been reduced to ruins.
Nondescript piles of rubble lie scattered through rice fields,
and many headless statues stand testament to years of war
and pilferage. But despite the region's rocky past, visitor
numbers approach two million annually. Reports from the
Cambodian Ministry of Tourism also show that up until the
end of July 2008, there were already 1.2 million people visiting
Cambodia, with more than half visiting Angkor.
Such figures reflect the importance of the temples for
Cambodia not only as a national icon, as shown on their flag,
but also as their main tourist draw. The increasing number
of visitors has brought great income for the nation, but not
everyone is excited about this news.
Many preservationists have expressed their concern about
the large number of visitors to the area's temples. They fear
that tourists will cause further deterioration to the temples,
as many of them were not designed to serve as public spaces;
some temples, in fact, were only accessible to a limited number
of people. As tourist figures grew, the condition of Angkor's
temples deteriorated even further.
In 1992, Angkor was declared a UNESCO World Heritage
site the same year it was also placed on the List of World
Heritage in Danger. Amendments were also made in the
penal code of the State of Cambodia to introduce sanctions on
the destruction, theft and illicit traffic of cultural property to
enable existent authorities to immediately address the growing
problem. Since then, several restoration projects have begun
on the park's temples. Many objects from the temples had been
deliberately removed from its original place and transferred to
the Angkor Conservation Office (ACO). Located on the west
bank of the Siem Reap River, the Angkor Conservation Office
(also known as Conservation d'Angkor) was established by
the French in 1908 to conduct archaeological studies of the
Angkor civilisation, and to restore the temples to their former
glory. It has since become a safe haven for sculptures and
items from Angkor's many temples.
The Angkor Conservation Office is surrounded with
a high concrete wall, and in front, a large, intimidating
steel gate stands shut. Needless to say, the office is offlimits
for public and is certainly not an official tourist spot.
Within the compound, ancient stones, statues and reliefs
rest in neat rows, as if waiting for their turn in a long
restoration process.
According to Professor Thlang Sakhoeon from The Royal
University of Fine Arts, Phnom Penh, over 7,000 items are
stored and kept in the Angkor Conservation Office. Every day,
the professor and a team of archeologists analyse the retrieved
items, identify which site they were taken from, and enter
them into a database. The items then go through a painstaking
cleaning process with chemical cleaners and preservatives
to remove the paint on its surfaces. Many of the recovered
items have multiple layers of paint on them evidence of the
number of times they had changed hands before finding their
way back to the Angkor Conservation Office.
Often, recovered items are broken and the team has to
decide whether or not to put them back together again. To do
this, the team uses blocks, tackles and adhesives to reattach
the broken pieces. On average, a recovered statue goes through
several months of restoration before it is transferred to the
new national museum in Siem Reap.
Since 1993, more than a dozen countries have sent teams
to aid Angkor's restoration. France, Japan, China, India and
the private United States-based World Monuments Fund are
among those that have taken on the arduous task of restoring
Angkor's temples. The restoration of Angkor serves as a
powerful symbol of unity in a country still struggling to come
to terms with its violent past.
This is a model of cooperation more than 10 countries
and international organisations coming together in a spirit
of solidarity for the work of preserving cultural heritage,
Cambodian Senior Minister Sok An said.
Angkor's heritage represents one of the last remaining
sources of information for the understanding of the Angkorian
past. By restoring the temples to their former glory, people
will be able to study them, so as to understand and protect
Angkor's ancient Khmer identity, and to act as a bridge that
links the country's past, present and future.

Why I Love Snaps
I love to do snapshots, they're not the best photographs, but that's the fun of it, you just snap it, no thinking! Simple and relaxing.
To Jakarta, a place where my anger, hatred, love and my peace mixed together in heart and mind.

Using Your Emotion
Bali, 2008 / Rony Zakaria
A lot of people said being professional is doing what you do best in any kind of mood, either sorrow, happy or being homesick. If you're a professional you have to put aside for a while your 'petty' emotion and give your full attention to your work. In other words, shutting off your emotion, not mixing it with your work. They said it's something you have to do to get things done.
Sometimes I had to be professional, being single minded, focused with the work I had to deliver, blocking everything else including my feelings. But also in many occasion I did the complete opposite, letting my emotion played part in the process of my pictures. And to be honest, most of the time, if not always, it just amazed me, many pictures just appeared in a way I wouldn't have thinked of before. Pictures that I look and I feel connected with them, "my own" pictures.
And although being professional is a good thing and something I have to keep in mind, the latter approach always gave me a total excitement and somekind of a weird uncertainty, which is fun, something that can give you a thrill. And fortunately I never got disappointed with my results.
To describe it more, it's just like you're taking a risk or to gamble but you know that you're going to get something out of it, you won't end up with nothing or lose everything. You just don't know what it is you're getting. I don't concider that mysterious uncertainty a risk, I'm feeling it as a breathtaking and magical process!
Just like Henri said "To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart". It's not just the craft perhaps, it is more.. Maybe you have to feel more.. and more..
What about you? What do you feel?

Dua Minggu di Bali
Bali. 2008.
Sudah dua minggu saya berada di Bali. Ada sebuah urusan liputan yang membawa saya ke pulau dewata untuk satu bulan penuh. Dua minggu membawa saya ke banyak tempat, bertemu banyak orang dan banyak keunikan.
Namun ada sebuah rasa sama yang selalu dirasakan setiap berada di pulau Dewata. Rasa yang unik, seperti ingin pulang ke rumah namun tidak ingin meninggalkan. Rasa yang sederhana tapi rumit, namun tidak serumit cinta picisan.
Masih dua minggu lagi untuk menggenapkan satu bulan dan rasanya begitu sebentar tapi juga lama. Dan kali pertama saya rindu Jakarta.

My face buried in his neck and my eyes tightly closed, I hear the bedroom door open. One moment, I am cradled and the next, I am airborne; flying like a bird, unafraid. I land at the same as time the door shuts.
I cower on the bed and look up at him, his face is pure animal lust. It is so fierce I don't recognize him in that moment. It frightens me a little and arouses me even more. Looking down he growls, "Strip, now girl."
"Yes, sir," escapes from my lips with a breathy exhale. I am unsteady as I sit back on my feet. I reach for the clasp on my black lace bra, but my fingers are trembling too much. I look up at him, asking without words. I didn't need the words.
"Need help, little one," he asks? That smug tone, almost condescending is close.
He is already in motion then so close I can feel his breath on the back of my neck. My body betrays the sense of longing I feel and a shiver runs down my spine. I nod my reply and then I feel a sharp swat to my bottom.
"Answer using words missy," he commands. He uses that same smug tone. I know this will be accompanied a smug grin to match.
"Yes please, sir," I say in a soft respectful tone. I am powerless to stop the shudder when I feel his lips press feather light kisses across the nape of my neck and collar bone. His hands slip the straps of my shoulders. He works the delicate clasp, with strong fingers and begins tracing the contours of my ribs. The bra is off my body in an instant.
"Put your hands behind your head.," he says. That phrase sends a rush of wetness to my intimate parts. Every part of my body tenses with knowing expectation of what's about to happen. I will myself to calm down as I place my hands on the back of my head.
"Yes sir."
He walks to the foot of the bed reaching out his hands. He Careses the underside of each breas, slowly, intimately familiar with every line. . His fingers trace the outline of my breasts, skimming and pinching my nipples. He is on a mission to drive me insane.
I close my eyes and let out a sigh which is met with a sting and then the slow burn that I love. I open my eyes, first seeing that wicked grin on his face, then I can the familiar and not unwelcome shape of the clamp attached to one nipple. My eyes find his other hand as it attaches the second clamp to my other nipple. I suck in air through my teeth, relishing that harmony of pleasurable pain. He joins them together with a chain.
"Open," he commands in a light tone. His look is expectant obedience as he gently pulls the chain up to my mouth.
"Yes Sir," I utter. He places the chain in my mouth, knowing I will keep it in place. I am not allowed to pull the chain and add to the lush pain that is spreading through my body.
He walks to the dresser and takes something from the top draw. It's the special drawer that I am not allowed to look in. He doesn't let me see what he's chosen. He places rough kisses on the back of my neck anda savage bite on my shoulder. Everything goes black then, leaving me to enjoy the pain in complete darkness.
"On your hands and knees, little one."
He growls in my ear.
I shift onto my knees leaning forward onto my hands. I try not to jerk the chain that connects to the clamps as I feel a sharp sting and then a burn as his hand makes contact with my bum.
"What do you say when I give you a command girl," he demands?
Gasping, I mumble, "Yes sir". It wasn't enough and I feel another strike.
"Thank you, sir."
My punishment keep coming until he decides I've gotten my lesson. His fingers trace over the welts on my bum, working down between my legs and in to my sex.
"Did you enjoy that, little one? Did you learn your lesson," he asks? I can hear the smile in his voice and know he is pleased. His hands trace down my body, pulling my butt high in to the air. When he reaches what, he wants, he plunges his roughly into me. His thumb makes a beeline for my clit and can't stop myself from whimpering.
My resolve fades in that instant and I let the chain fall from my mouth as I start to beg.
"Please sir, please let me come, please," all the time knowing I can't hold out.
His response is clear as he fucks me harder, rougher, and faster. Suddenly he pulls his fingers out pinching down on my clit and growls, "Cum little one, cum for me right now."
He rams his fingers into me as I squirt all over his hand, screaming out me release.
I collapse into a hot mess. I feel myself being pulled into his lap. He tells me I'm his good girl and that he loves me. I coo and snuggle into his shoulder, thinking about all the ways I can miss behave so I can get punished again and utter those two words I love saying,
"Yes sir."

My wife has three older brothers. Two of them (Dale and Roger) live in Rochester NY and the other (Leroy) lives in St. Paul MN. We see Dale and Roger a few times a year as Rochester is only a couple of hours away from where we live, Leroy, however, we only see every few years whenever he's able to come and visit. He and his son Andy most recently visited in 2012.
As their last visit was ending my daughters and their cousin Andy hatched a plan for us to go and visit them in Minnesota the next summer. I was less than thrilled at this thought. I'm not really into driving long distances and it's at least a 15 hour trip. Leroy made it by himself once in 13 hours but that was driving straight through with only two potty breaks. (Leroy used to be in the Marines. I'm guessing that bladder control is somehow taught in basic training.) With myself and three women in the van there was no hope of coming close to making it in 13 hours. After weeks of cajoling (whining) though, I grudgingly relented.
We planned the trip for the third week in August so we could go to the Minnesota state fair. It turns out the Minnesota state fair is the second largest state fair in the country, but more on that later. We kept going back and forth as to whether we were going to split the ride out into two days or just one right up until the day before we left. We finally decided on one day (oi) because Leroy had all sorts of things for us to do and we wanted to get there as soon as possible.
The ride out was fairly uneventful. The girls watched movies pretty much all the way out. I hook the sound in through the van's sound system so JoAnn and I can listen to the movies too. Even though JoAnn and I can't actually see the movies just listening to them is fairly enjoyable, and if there is something we don't understand we just ask the girls what exactly is going on and they give us a play by play of the action. You'd be surprised at how much quicker it makes the trip seem just by listening to movies. And you'd be surprised how many romantic comedies one can play on a trip to Minnesota.
We stopped for lunch near Sandusky, OH at a restaurant called Fazoli's. It's a fast food Italian restaurant that used to have a franchise near our home. It was one of our favorite places to go. A few years ago, however, the one near us closed. That made the one in Erie, PA the closest one to us which was an hour away. We went there a couple of times and then that one closed and we were all traumatized. We saw this one near Sandusky, OH when we were on the Jazz Band trip earlier this year. As we rode by on the bus one of us saw the Fazoli's sign and yelled "Fazoli's!!". My entire family immediately plastered our faces up against the bus's window and longingly gazed at the restaurant we once loved so much and made a vow that we indeed would one day be back. This now was that day.
As we walked in, that familiar smell greeted our noses and we all just smiled. You may not understand it if you've never been to a Fazoli's, but they have the best bread sticks in the world. And they keep giving you as many as you want. They're all hot and squishy and buttery and garlicky................. sorry, I drifted off. Anyway, by the time we were done we could barely stand up let alone walk, but that didn't stop us from bringing along a few "leftover" bread sticks for the rest of the trip.
The biggest problem I had with the trip out was the tolls and Chicago. I could not believe how many tolls I had to pay. By the time we got to Leroy's we had paid over $40 in tolls. I paid tolls for things I didn't even realize were toll things. "Thank you for using that bridge you just crossed, that'll be $5." "Thank you for driving on this short four mile stretch of highway, that'll be $3.80." It was ridiculous. And my apologies to anyone from Chicago that may be reading this but driving through there was just crazy. Have you ever seen those Grand Prix races where they close off part of a city and then have a race through the city streets? Well it was pretty much like that except that there were hundreds of cars all going like 70 miles an hour through Chicago. That was probably the most scared I've ever been driving. People were just flying by, switching lanes and just plain scaring the crap out of me. I was never so happy to get on the other side of a city as I was after we got through there.
The whole way out the girls kept sending texts to Andy to let them know of our whereabouts. We'd tell them where we were and they would say about how long it would take to get there. By the time we got to Leroy's it was going on 1 am. After all was said and done it had taken around 16 hours to get there.
Leroy had tons of stuff planned for us to do while we there, much of which was based around eating, which was perfectly fine with us. He had each day mapped out as to which restaurants we were going to. It was great. This one day we went to a Japanese buffet for lunch and then a pizza buffet for supper. To say we got a little full on that day would be a bit of an understatement. I recall a lot of moaning on the ride back to the house that night and statements such as, "I'm never going to eat again!"
Leroy works in the jail in Minneapolis. He took us there one day for a tour. If I ever had any thoughts of thinking that it might be interesting to be in jail for a little while just to see what it was like, they were quickly dispelled by the time we were done. Trust me, you do not want to be in jail. I don't care if you do get three square meals a day. It did not look fun at all. And, there's not many of us out there that can pull off wearing an orange jumpsuit.
We were toured all over St. Paul and Minneapolis while we were there. One interesting thing we got to see was the first gun fired at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. It was from the ship the USS Ward and was manned by a group of Minnesota reservists. Leroy's wife Rose's uncle served on that ship and his name is on the plaque with the gun.
We of course had to visit the Mall of America. My wife and daughters made it quite clear we weren't going home without seeing the largest mall in the US. I have to admit I was kind of curious to see it myself. It's pretty big, but it didn't seem as big as I thought it would be. I mean it's got an amusement park right in the middle of it but it really wasn't that hard to get around in. It's set up like a big doughnut with all the stores around the outside and the amusement park in the middle. It's four floors high in some parts and three floors high in all of it. I thought it would be this long expansive kind of thing but it's relatively compact because it has so many floors. One of the interesting things about the mall is that the same exact store could be on more than one level. We saw more than one location for quite a few stores. It seemed a little odd at first but the more I thought about it it kind of made sense. More stores more opportunities to get customers and you save them from having to wander all over the place to find your one store.
One day we spent at the Minnesota state fair. As far as attendance goes it's the second largest state fair in the US (Texas is first but it runs longer). Let me tell you, that did seem big. We went on opening day (which was a Thursday) and the attendance for that day was almost 107,000. Now that seemed like a lot of people but a few days later they set a new one day record with an attendance of 236,197! I have no idea how they fit in twice as many people as the day we were there. I thought it was crowded on our day.
The nice thing about the fair was that it fit into the theme of our trip quite nicely. The theme for our trip of course being food. You have never seen so many places to eat in your life. One of the jokes about the fair is that you can get almost anything on a stick. I can't even really come close to making you realize how many places to eat there were. Now Leroy and his family have been coming to the fair for years and they kind of had a food routine already figured out. Thank goodness because if we had had to figure it all out by ourselves we would probably still be there. Let's see, there were the miniature doughnuts, the cheese curds, the rice and meat burger, the Nitro ice cream, some alligator, fried pickles, a malt, a bucket of chocolate chip cookies, a root beer float, some super hot jerky that made me cry a little, pizza on a stick, taffy, free milk and I'm sure other things that I just can't remember.
A princess is chosen for the fair and from what I gather it's quite the big deal. The official name of the princess is Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Yes you read that correctly. I read something about the whole princess thing and the history of it but to be honest I still don't understand what the name has to do with anything. I was probably so tired from walking and full from eating that my brain couldn't comprehend it. Oh, and to honor the current princess they carve a bust of her...... out of butter. Yup, butter. I actually saw it myself. It was on a pedestal that twirled around inside this big glass enclosed refrigerator. Traditions can be kind of curious if you didn't grow up with them.
One day, and as far as Meagan was concerned, the whole point of the trip, we went to Walnut Grove, MN. I'm sure a lot of you remember that Walnut Grove was where the TV show "Little House on the Prairie" took place and where Laura Ingalls Wilder actually lived for a while. When Meagan first mentioned going there I thought that it would be a nice little side trip for one day. I didn't know exactly where it was, just that it was somewhere near St. Paul. It was only after we got to Leroy's and started looking at maps that we discovered it was about three hours away! I'm sure the look on my face and the tone of my voice when I shrieked "THREE HOURS!!" made it seem like the trip wouldn't happen but I knew how much it meant to Meagan, so off to Walnut Grove we went.
On the way there, once we got past Minneapolis, things got very rural. And I mean VERY rural. There were times when I couldn't see any houses at all. You could look out your window and see nothing but acres and acres of corn and soybeans. Every once in a while you'd see a little dirt road go off into the corn and then just disappear into it. There were just thousands of acres covered with corn and soybeans.
Once we finally got to Walnut Grove we of course did all of the touristy things. We went to the museum, toured around town, ate at Nellie's cafe and went out to the site of the Ingalls' home on the banks of Plum Creek. The site is located on some private individual's farm (the Gordon's) but they allow people to go in and see it for a small fee. It was really quite interesting and Meagan was about as happy as I've ever seen her.
We also stopped at an antique/junk store for the fun of it. We love those kind of places and thought it might be fun to get something from Walnut Grove. We got a couple of small things, but Meagan, of course, couldn't be happy with just a couple of small things. No, she went and fell in love with a hutch. I explained to her that there was no way we could fit a whole hutch in the van with six people. It just wouldn't fit. She grudgingly agreed. But that didn't stop her from thinking about it.
We had planned on stopping in Pepin Wisconsin on the way home. Pepin is the birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder. It was a little out of the way and it would make it tough to get back home in one day but we knew how much Meagan wanted to see it. The day before we left Leroy's Meagan says that she's been thinking about that hutch in Walnut Grove and wondered if there was any chance we could fit it in the van for the trip home. I believe I looked at her as if she had a cucumber growing out of her head. "Are you nuts!", I said very calmly, "even if we were able to fit it in the van Walnut Grove is three hours away in the opposite direction of home! That means we would have at least six hours of driving added to our trip home! There's no way we would make it home in one day! And that means we would have to spend extra money on a hotel for a night! NOOOO!!"
Well, to make a long story short, after a lot of sad puppy dog faces and pleading, I, of course, gave in. When we pulled up to the store in Walnut Grove (after three hours of driving) much to my horror the sign out front of the store said "Closed". To say I flipped out a little would be a gross understatement. I was on the verge of a panic attack when I noticed that there was a car near the store. I thought that maybe the owner or an employee had stopped in to do a little something and that maybe even though they weren't open we could somehow still get the hutch. I went to the door, expecting to have to bang on it to get someone's attention, but it was open. I went in and found someone behind the counter and asked if they were open because the sign out front said they were closed. She said they were indeed open and that she must have forgotten to change the sign out front. I tell ya, if I hadn't have been so happy and relieved I probably would have strangled her. I'm getting older, my heart can't take this kind of stuff anymore.
Anyway, Meagan pays for the hutch, we take it apart and somehow squeeze it into the van with all of our luggage and stuff. I'm happily amazed that we actually get it to fit. Now, finally, we're off to Pepin WI.
Pepin was nice but not quite as "Laura Ingalls Wilder-fied" as Walnut Grove was. We visited the site of the Ingalls place a little ways out of town. They have a little log house there to represent where the real house was. It was fun. I grabbed some dirt from a cornfield nearby and threw it in a to-go carrier we had left in the car so Meagan could always have a little bit of Laura's birthplace. (Don't tell the farmer who owns the corn field.)
Because we had a couple of little side trips we, of course, weren't going to make it home in one day which meant we were going to have to stay over one night in a hotel/motel. We had tried getting into a Hampton Inn but it was all booked up. We ended up in a Motel 6 that my family described as something out of an episode of CSI. There were a lot of motorcycles and semi trucks in the parking lot. You weren't allowed to smoke in the rooms so there were all these people that went with the motorcycles and semi trucks standing outside of their rooms smoking and you kind of had to get by them to get to your room. Yeah, it was a little unnerving. I'm pretty sure Motel 6 would pass on using this particular location for a national commercial to promote themselves. We were all quite sure that at some point in the night we were going to hear gunshots and then be surrounded by police. God must have been feeling a little bad for me at this point though because we actually made it through the night without any incidents.
The next morning we hurriedly packed up and headed home. Since we were in Wisconsin we thought it only proper to get some cheese so we stopped at a place along the highway that sold cheese and fireworks and other interesting things. Chicago, of course, was a joy to get through again, although this time it wasn't because everyone was going 70 miles an hour it was because everyone was stopped. We were going along and then just suddenly stopped. We thought there must be an accident or something but we never saw anything. It was apparently just traffic. And this was a Sunday! I can't imagine what it's like during rush hour. What should have taken us 15 minutes or so ended up taking us over an hour.
The rest of the trip pretty much went off without a hitch. There were, of course, more romantic comedies and even one apocalyptic type bad weather movie that was a little hard to follow without actually watching it. All in all it was a great trip, although not something I need to do again right away (I'm getting older, remember). Meagan, however, mentioned the other day that there was going to be a Little House on the Prairie reunion in Walnut Grove in the summer of 2014 that she would love to go to. Um, is that a cucumber growing out of your head?

SPDS: Seller Property Disclosure Statement
July 19, 2017 - By Rachel Deckman
The Residential Seller Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS) is a very important document disclosure form used in the home buying and selling processes. The purpose of this document is to notify and disclose facts about the home and property to the potential home buyers. A copy of the SPDS is required by the AAR Purchase Contract to be provided to the home buyer within 5 days of contract acceptance.
What are Sellers Expected to Disclose?
By law, sellers are expected to disclose all known material facts about the property. Both the home buyer and seller deserve quality information during the transaction. We encourage and ask that sellers answer to answer the questions as honestly, truthfully and thoroughly as possible with the information they already know in their disclosures. As a seller, it is your chance to provide quality information about the property to the potential buyers whether or not you are asked by the buyer or a real estate agent.
The SPDS is broken up in these sections:
- Ownership and General Property Information- location of the property, occupants and legal owners of the property.
- Building and Safety Information- Physical aspects of the property. Any past or present problems on the property or improvements made to the property.
- Utility Company Info- Who currently provides the utilities on the property.
- Environmental Information- Soil settlement or expansion, drainage/grade or erosion, noise from airports or traffic, odors, water leaks and mold.
- Sewer and Waste Water Treatment- If the property is connected to a sewer, if there is a septic system and other additional information.
- Miscellaneous Conditions and Explanations- Provides space for the seller to disclose any additional important information concerning the property.
What doesn't have to be Disclosed?
The SPDS form is an essential part in the home buying and selling processes. As a buyer, wouldn't you like to know material facts about the home? Wouldn't you be angry if you found out that the seller had withheld known material information?
Remember to disclose everything that you know and be as honest and truthful as you can. You may scare away a buyer, but more often than not, disclosing doesn't do that. But considering the possibility of lawsuit for fraud or misrepresentation, a buyer walking away is a better outcome than a lawsuit.
Finding this resource online can be a great way to get familiar with the document, but make sure you go over it thoroughly and discuss with your agent anything that you might need help understanding further. When in doubt- Disclose!

Here come the holidays. Do you really want to spend time wandering around malls, carrying packages, struggling with strapping tape and standing in line at the post office? Of course not. You could take the easy way out and do all your shopping by mail. Almost anything from the following catalogs would make a food fan very happy.
When ordering from a company for the first time:
--Make certain they will give a full refund or exchange if you're not happy. Remember: the shipper is responsible for lost or damaged items.
--Fill out order forms clearly and carefully, and keep a copy for your records. When placing a telephone order, get the name of the person taking the order. Many mail order companies accept credit cards, providing a little leverage if there is a dispute.
--Find out how long it will take for orders to reach their destination and if delivery dates are guaranteed. For perishables, ask that the packages be marked to ensure proper handling once they reach their destination.

A date for this season's Texas A&M vs. LSU football game has been decided and will likely be announced Friday, LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva said Thursday.
"Yes, I am...I am happy," Alleva told Culotta & The Prince on 104.5 ESPN FM in Baton Rouge when asked if he was pleased with the decision.
Picking a date for the game has been a sticking point among LSU, Texas A&M, TV networks and the Southeastern Conference.
Alleva said last week the networks continue to push for LSU to move its game with Texas A&M to Thanksgiving Day, but he has continued to refuse.
"As long as I'm here, we will not play in Tiger Stadium on a Thursday," Alleva said last. "I guarantee you that."
Texas A&M moved its home game with LSU last year to Thanksgiving night, a 23-17 Tigers victory. A&M used to play Texas on Thanksgiving and it's assumed the Aggies will want to continue that tradition with their season-ending game against the Tigers.

As if there were not already enough reasons to lie in bed all day chain-smoking Camels and staring listlessly at the ceiling, we recently brought a new dog into our home.
The dog is a 3-month-old Shih Tzu puppy. This is pronounced SHEED-zoo, by the way. I can't tell you how many rubes pronounce it . . . well, let's just say it's a more earthy pronunciation, after which these hayseeds will throw their heads back and howl with knee-slapping laughter.
"Stop it, Elmer," you want to say. "You're killing me."
Initially, what we were looking for was a small pet who doesn't bark a lot or chew up the house or eat much or run up huge vet bills.

All your mr right dating double skilled
Become Mr. Right is considerably different from what most people consider a "dating advice" product. This advanced David DeAngelo product is an online video course (also available as a DVD audio product) which could be summed up as the ultimate self-development program for men. At some point in your dating-skills development, you'll find yourself less interesting in "pickup" and more interested in longer-term relationships. At that point, you'll want to invest more of your time and energy into improving and sustaining your relationship with Mrs. Right. This product is for those who are ready to take their relationship skills to a whole new level. If you want to learn the most powerful methods and strategies on creating a long-term relationship with the woman of your dreams, then this is your product.
Who This Product Is For
If you're looking for pickup lines or specific word-for-word examples of what to say to convince a woman into liking you, then you're reading the wrong review. This product won't teach you seduction tricks. But if you've already got the basics down, and you're looking for something more meaningful, then this could be one of your most important investments you can make. Most of the content is focused on mindset and inner game. It's more about self-actualization--improving yourself as a man, finding your life's passion, and living a happier and more fulfilling life.
What's Included
- 21+ hours of proven techniques, tools, and tips!
- 12 DVDs (optional, $3.99 extra)
- Free 1-Month Subscription to "Interviews With Dating Gurus" interview series
Editor Review
First, some background information. Become Mr. Right along with Man Transformation was originally sold as DVD set called "Mastery." This Mastery product is no longer available, but instead was broken down into the two separate products mentioned above.
"Mastery" is a good word to describe the teachings of DeAngelo's Become Mr. Right program. This is an advanced program and is intended for a mature audience. Maybe your relationship with your girlfriend has evolved in ways you weren't expecting. Maybe you're not as happy as you thought you'd be. Whatever area of your life that need improvement, DeAngelo can help you get there.
The video content is a pre-recorded live seminar presented by David DeAngelo and various guest speakers. In total there are over 21 hours of DeAngelo's most successful strategies for relationship success. Some of the topics he teaches are similar to those taught in his business courses, such as his Wake Up Productive time management course. You'll also learn about the importance of your physical and emotional health and how they relate to your personal relationships. So it goes much deeper than just "relationships advice."
You'll get different perspectives on what it means to be Mr. Right. You'll also learn how to can overcome your own mental blocks. In fact, you'll learn how to clean up all your emotional junk that's preventing you from achieving the intimacy that you crave. Whether it's self-esteem issues, a lack of motivation, or an inability to get on and stay on your life path, change is possible. But it will require courage and motivation.
A lot of the ideas taught in this program border on the philosophical. DeAngelo has always seemed to be more interested in the inner game of success. And in my opinion, programs like this is where he really shines. You'll learn what women really want in a relationship and what they will demand in a man. You'll learn how women can spot an insincere man and how to keep your composure when she goes through one of her emotional waves. You'll also learn how to develop rapport and become a master at dealing with conflict in any situation.
Women want a man with passion. This is why it's so important to focus on yourself first. By working through your own personal issues, you'll automatically become more magnetic to women. But change won't happen over night.
It's best to think of this product as a long-term investment. Not every guy will be ready to make the changes that DeAngelo proposes. And I don't recommend this product for the beginner student. The program does assume that you already have some dating skills. So if you're looking for a great overview of David DeAngelo's best teachings without spending a lot of money, then I suggest you have a look at his 77 Laws Of Success With Women And Dating program instead.)
I've studied a lot of attraction and seduction products. But I have yet to find a relationship product as genuine and beneficial as this one. David DeAngelo usually delivers high-quality content. And this product is no exception. If you're ready to learn real-life relationship skills in a no-nonsense approach, then you'll want to consider Become Mr. Right.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe plans to restore voting rights to 13,000 felons on a case-by-case basis after Republican lawmakers and the Supreme Court of Virginia struck down McAuliffe's executive order to restore voting rights to over 200,000 felons in July.
As reported by the Washington Post, McAuliffe eventually plans to include the remainder of the 200,000 felons he originally planned to restore voting rights to over the coming weeks.
In a 4-3 decision last month, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled McAuliffe's executive order "unconstitutional" because it pardoned a mass group of felons without paying attention to details of each case and stating a reason for each pardon.
As a result of the ruling, the Supreme Court invalidated 11,000 felons who registered to vote under McAuliffe's original executive order back in April.
In June, Breitbart News reported that McAuliffe mistakenly granted felons who were still in prison or on supervised release the right to vote. Some of the felons incarcerated didn't even live in the state of Virginia.
Like McAuliffe's original executive order, felons not only have the right to vote but have the opportunity to serve on public juries, work as notaries, and even run for office. There are also no restrictions put into place that would stop violent criminals such as rapists and murderers from registering to vote.
Republicans have blasted McAuliffe on his executive order for months, saying that his executive order was a political play to get more registered Democrats on the voting rolls in an election year.
"This office has always been a stepping stone to a job in Hillary Clinton's cabinet. The one-time nature of this action is proof positive of the Governor's political motivations. Instead of adopting a clear policy that can be applied equitably, he is changing the rules in the middle of the 2016 election to ensure Hillary Clinton's victory," Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell said.
McAuliffe's ties to the Clintons have also been the subject of an FBI investigation, where DOJ officials investigated campaign contributions from a Chinese billionaire who donated up to $2 million to the Clinton Foundation, Breitbart News reported in May.

Acting Training for Film, Television, and Stage
Meisner Acting Training at Its Finest - Study In Person or Online
Studio Director Wendy Ward is one of the country's most renowned master teachers of the Meisner Acting Technique. The approach has been revered for decades by producers, directors and casting directors because of the authenticity, emotional honesty and power it instills in an actor's work. Ms. Ward taught the technique for twenty-five years in New York City -- first at The Acting Studio where she served as Associate Director and then at the Ward Acting Studio which she founded in 1996. She has helped thousands of actors develop the skills and confidence necessary to leave their day jobs and establish sustainable acting careers.
Actors who work with Wendy quickly learn how much more detailed, challenging and compelling the training can be under the guidance of a Master Meisner teacher. Her program is revelatory, especially for actors who have received previous introductions to the Meisner work. Put simply, 'There's Meisner -- and then there's Meisner.'
The training is offered in three formats: Part-Time Classes, the Studio's exclusive Six-Week Intensive and in immersive one-week Boot Camps. Best of all, actors can now participate in these programs from wherever they are in the world through the Studio's video conferencing technology.
Ward Acting Studio Graduates at Work
We applaud our graduates who are now familiar faces in the industry and celebrate the many others who left our studio for careers as actors, voice-over artists, film directors and producers. While you may not know their names, you've watched them on HBO programs; heard them on national TV commercials; seen their pictures in magazines and on products in your grocery store; and rooted for them in major motion pictures. Let us help you join their ranks! Whether you're an experienced actor or just a beginner, this training will challenge and inspire you and also suit your schedule.
Ms. Ward is featured in the books Acting Teachers of America by Ronald Rand, Acting Career Start-Up by Anthony Smith and An Actor's Guide to Making it in New York City.
Check out what some of our graduates have been doing. We've kept the sound turned off for viewers in public places.

Do Cats Bathe?
Contrary to popular belief, cats do indeed bathe. Although, not all kitties are thrilled by the experience. It is better to start bathing them while they are young so that they get used to it.
Normally, cats do not emit any foul odor but sometimes their fur do get dusty. There are plenty of mild shampoo available in the market. For my kitties, I bathe them once a week during the hot months and only as needed during the rainy season. They have different personalities. Some just sit down, others struggle and for this I would need an assistant. I have one who really enjoys the experience, she even plays with the water.
I have heard people blame cats for causing asthma attacks. Well, I have asthma and they seldom trigger any attacks. The secret is just keeping them clean.
