Beautiful cleavage. Every woman desires one. With modern breast implants almost every woman can have this desire fulfilled. After 20 years in practice and over 2500 happy patients, Dr. Shektman is widely considered an expert in the art of breast augmentation. If your breast size or shape is causing you to loose your self confidence, you owe it to yourself to explore what breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants can do to return that confidence to you. As many women who have had the procedure done over the years can attest, breast augmentation helped them move through life with a newfound sense of self assuredness and poise.
Breast Lift
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing and gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag, but they do not have to stay that way. A breast lift can go a long way towards restoring the youthful breast contours women want. If fullness is also an issue, breast implants can be considered along with the lift.
Some patients, especially those with relatively small breasts and minimal sagging, may be candidates for modified procedures requiring less extensive incisions.
Breast Reduction
Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight-from back and neck pain and skin irritation to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders. And unusually large breasts can make a woman-or a teenage girl-feel extremely self-conscious.
Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

Okay, I am trying my best not to be dismissive but I just can't help it. Seriously, I thought Nigeria was going through a recession but we seem to be able to find that spare cash and time to buy into a very rich woman's tale of woe. As I have gotten older, I seem to find myself losing patience with women who have it together and still chose to stay with men who are obviously not good for them.
Case in point: An on-air personality chooses to marry a man, who has clearly shown that he has interests outside the relationship and decides to keep him by thunder by fire. In an attempt to keep him, she closes her eyes to his indiscretions (a very stupid strength of the Nigerian woman), tries to change herself physically for him by bleaching her skin to look like the sun (ahem) and then to end it all, contracts a sexually transmitted disease from him. Like, everything is clearly saying, RUN WOMAN RUN. Yet, this woman still stays.
I will not be purchasing this book but if you decide to get it for me, for Christmas, fine. How can your house be burning and yet, you still choose to remain there? What is the hold? Na juju? What exactly were you getting from the relationship, apart from the popular position that many Nigerian women vie for (that of being a Mrs.somebody) but apart from that, absolutely nothing?
By the way, if we decide to look at the chronology of her relationship, it turns out that though she was the one that was married, she was actually the side chick. He had been with the woman longer than he was with her. Oya... #I #just #cannot. Seriously, woman, why are you crying when you can be singing, "thank you Jesus, for my deliverance"? See me see trouble, Oh!
I just wanted to rant. There has been too much hullabaloo about that book. And I just #can't #take #it #no #mo'.
Domestic violence is real and is an epidemic. But, institutional silliness is a choice, women sometimes choose to remain in things that no longer serve them.

Old Navy Striped Tee), Vest-Target (similar Old Navy Tweed Vest), Jeans-Target (similar Old Navy Rockstar Jeans), Scarf-Amazon (similar Dorothy Perkins Leopard Scarf), Boots-Nordstrom (similar Steve Madden Intyce Boots)
This weekend I went shopping at the mall for the first time in quite a while. (I was avoiding it during the holiday madness!). Every single store I went into was having major clearance sales. I tried on a bunch of things, but I only went home with one item. It's not because the clothes didn't fit, or I didn't like them, but I realized I'm more selective about my purchases. Now I try to think about what is missing from my wardrobe and if I really need an item versus just wanting it.
Today I'm remixing my Target tweed vest, which has become such a versatile piece in my wardrobe. Here's some of the other ways I've worn it:

Quantum processes, space-time representation and brain dynamics
Document Type
Publication Date
The recent controversy of applicability of quantum formalism to brain dynamics has been critically analysed. The prerequisites for any type of quantum formalism or quantum field theory is to investigate whether the anatomical structure of brain permits any kind of smooth geometric notion like Hilbert structure or four dimensional Minkowskian structure for quantum field theory. The present understanding of brain function clearly denies any kind of space-time representation in Minkowskian sense. However, three dimensional space and one time can be assigned to the neuromanifold and the concept of probabilistic geometry is shown to be appropriate framework to understand the brain dynamics. The possibility of quantum structure is also discussed in this framework.
This is the pre-print of an article that will be published at a later date. This version has not yet undergone peer review and may differ from the final, published version.

Monica & David
Monica and David Henley planned a weekend celebration with an outdoor, New Zealand vibe. Monica shares the details of their special wedding…
We have always loved the way weddings are celebrated in many cultures around the world – with a few days and nights of festivities, symbolic rites of passage and ample time for extended family and community to meet. We wanted to fuse these ideas with a relaxed, natural, New Zealand camping style. We also wanted a vibe of participation, with people mucking in together and communally creating an event, for people to feel a central part of it, and a great way for people to meet each other. So, with the help of family and friends, we created a weekend event where people could camp if they wanted to and come to whatever parts of the celebration they could. My aunt and uncle generously offered us the use of their property in Clarkeville, just north of Christchurch. It was the perfect venue, complete with a beautiful fresh stream and garden where we could have the ceremony, plus lots of space for lawn games, for people to camp, for us to put up a marquee and for kids to run around. We started the weekend with a potluck dinner at a local hall. It was such a nice way for us to see people from all over the country and the world before our actual wedding day. Dave's mum and dad are great Scottish country dancers and led us all in a big 'ho – it became clear very quickly that people were ready for a great weekend of fun and festivities. On the day of the wedding, festivities started with afternoon tea and drinks. During this time we had an official welcome and people were each given a piece of flax to plait together with someone else's flax that they had just met. This was to symbolise the linking together of so many lives through our marriage and also to reflect our links to the land and to Aotearoa. After the garden ceremony and wedding photos, everyone got into some more Scottish dancing while the sun set, played lawn games, sipped on champagne and slowly made their way into the marquee for an amazing dinner. We danced late into the night. Finally, when only a few of us remained, we turned it down a notch, chatted, sang, played guitars and ended up sleeping in the marquee! On Sunday morning everyone joined together again for brunch. Lots of people contributed and we enjoyed great leftover food and drink from the day and night before. It was amazing to see people having made great connections and forming friendships with each other. It was everything and more than we could have possibly imagined and we have our fantastic family and friends to thank for it.

Bill's Story
Living in a retirement village provides Bill* with the opportunity to focus on the people and experiences that matter most to him. He loves to entertain, share delicious food and have a good time with family and friends.
The gardens and outdoor entertainment areas at The Brighton are an ideal space for Bill to indulge in his favourite pasttimes. He has quite the knack for bringing loved ones together for special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays and football grand finals.
The outdoor areas at The Brighton are fresh, bright and blossoming with life and even offer a vegetable and herb garden, which Bill visits often to garnish his barbeque feasts.
The Brighton Village facilities provide Bill with the chance to share his hospitality and home with others. For Bill, entertaining is about spending quality time with people, a chance to catch up and have a little fun together.
Since retiring at The Brighton, Bill has more time for the special things he holds dear. He has more time to spend with loved ones, and entertaining is Bill's way of forming new friendships and staying connected.
*Bill is an example of a Catholic Healthcare resident

Blown Covers
New Yorker Covers You Were Never
Meant to See
by Françoise Mouly (Abrams)
It's funny that Mouly — who's been behind the covers at The New Yorker since 1993 — writes that "the average cartoonist tends toward the gloomy and retired." She's married to cartoonist and cover contributor Art Spiegelman. Along with stories behind the covers the mag did use, we see great unused ones such as Anthony Weiner hanging himself with a string of wiener links.
The Little Red Guard
A Family Memoir
by Wenguang Huang (Riverhead)
As if growing up during the Cultural Revolution in China (although as it was ending) wasn't enough, the author grew up in a cramped two-room home where his grandmother's coffin sat in a corner for 15 years. Wanting the type of traditional burial banned by the Communist government, the author's father built a casket for her for use at the appropriate time. As the "coffin keeper," Huang had to sleep next to it. An interesting look at China through the lens of family.
My Extraordinary Ordinary Life
by Sissy Spacek (Hyperion)
We know about Spacek's wonderful acting career — chilling in "Carrie," Oscar-winning in "Coal Miner's Daughter" and scene-stealing in "The Help." Now we get some off-screen info, too. Hailing from a tiny east Texas town, Spacek left for New York City at 17 to become a singer. Among her adventures: jamming with Gregg Allman, getting mugged in an elevator after holding the door for her mugger, being stuck overnight on a fire escape with her guitar after an ill-fated meeting with a record producer. Plus, tragedy in her brother's death and triumph with her long marriage to Jack Fisk, whom she met on the set of "Badlands" in 1972.
by Laurent Binet (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
Meet the real "Avengers": The two agents who assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, a top Hitler henchman known as the "Butcher of Prague." French author Binet's first novel recreates Czech refugees Jozef Gabik and Jan Kubiš as they escape their native country and are recruited by the British for the dangerous mission, changing the course of the war when they kill this evil Nazi mastermind. The unusual title stands for "Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich," or "Himmler's brain is called Heydrich." The two men are responsible for starting the Gestapo.
The Newlyweds
by Nell Freudenberger (Knopf)
They fell for each other on AsiaEuro.com. But is love all you really need? That's the question Freudenberger's latest novel explores. When Amina travels 8,000 miles from Bangladesh to Rochester to marry SWM George, the distance seems small compared to the cultural divide. Despite Amina's fluent English, colloquialisms don't make sense. Neither does the nuclear family or the white wedding dress. Also, both partners are keeping secrets. But a visit back home brings on second thoughts. Sometimes happily ever after isn't nearly as interesting as muddling through.

What is Social Sculpture today?
How is Social Sculpture conceived by the artists working in this field? How do they understand their impact in the social sphere?
Trying to answer these questions I will travel and visit seven of them, currently working and staying in the countryside all over Spain.
The aim, according to Campoadentro, the organisation in charge of the Project, is to bring the local rural public closer to art and culture using emotion and meaning and show the result of the creative process that they have hosted. Back in the city, the aim is to open up a debate and reflect upon today's rural issues using the works exhibited.

So how many pitches were at the Fifty Pitches ?. 18 is all I ever counted. There may have been more at a previous time but there were 16 Adult and two boys pitches (black ash) within my memory.
Very few matches were played with nets or corner posts and there were frequent arguments about whether a shot went in or not. A few pitches had the goals directly behind one another and on the odd occasion a goalkeeper would be hit on the back from a scoring shot from the pitch behind.
The changing rooms were a green corrugated iron block with 18 compartments and bit in the middle for the groundsman. The Changing rooms had no lighting but toilets of sorts at the rear for Ladies and Gentlemen.
The only water was a cast iron well at the entry to the pitches; at full time the players queued up to run the water over their many grazes. The better teams to play at the Fifty pitches were Sligo Celtic and Tradeston Holmlea who both attracted decent sized crowds. One Sligo Celtic player John Spencer went on to play for Celtic with a few games in the first team from memory.
From 50 pitches to 2 pitches.
Hi David, great pictures and a sad end to all the pitches that used to be there. I can remember going up there to watch the matches being played. There was always something going on at the 50 Pitches.

There are inoculation kits that get us black resin in only 18~24 months and distillation units that suck the oil from these trees in only few hours. All the oils today have the sap smell you get from cutting down a growing tree. They get quick resin and quick oil, but it's not the same. The quality of oud produced this way, you'll never get the oud you talk about again.
Please realize that this oil is from cultivated trees, and is not considered a high quality agarwood oil. It is however, a sustainable oil at a very affordable price.

20-21 March 10, La Triennale di Milano, 20.45 and 21.00
The noise of screeching ropes, the squeaking of wet wood, the sound of objects on board, which respond to the rolling of the ship on the waves, blend with the crew's voices, with the captain's shouted orders. The general breathing is an obscure jumble: the sound of a universe in which men, the wind, the ship and the sea, inseparably united, become the only possible character. Dewey Dell presents in Milan a new stage of their research on sound and movement. A short and dazzling site-specific performance, which confirms the talent of the young company from Cesena.

Good Morning Friends! It's Tuesday, it's dreary & I am enjoying two of my very favorite drinks: hot chocolate with TONS of whipped cream and an ice cold Coca Cola! Most people would think it a crazy combination, and normally I would not drink the two at the same time but I had a slight dilemma this morning.
I started taking vitamins last week. I mean, late last week. I think my first pack was consumed on Friday {and I'm already over the multi-vitamins}. Do you want to hear the story behind this vita-fad? It is a pretty short story – well, you're going to be getting the pretty short version.
I have this fear that I am not consuming enough nutrients or I am losing nutrients. I am having these heart aches and my doctors insist there is nothing malicious going on; and, while I do not believe them, I have to go with it. All of my tests have come back okay with the exception one low level of something or another {honestly, I cannot remember what was low}. Either way, the nurse told me the level was not even low enough to be concerned. CONCERNED? You're not concerned, but your patient is {now}. I think it was potassium, and the internet has told me that low potassium may mean heart pain? Either way, Nick thought it was a good idea to start taking vitamins.
These vitamins are the size of horse pills. And they make me feel sick. That is beside the point. I cannot take the pills without the soda because they are too big to swallow without some fizz. However, I was craving hot chocolate this morning and made it without realizing Nick had kindly taken out a pack of vitamins for me {so that I would remember to take them}. Therefore, I have a hot chocolate and a soda sitting next to the computer. And I am desperately trying to finish these pills.
On top of all of this vita-crap, we have an infestation of wasps on our deck. What the heck universe?! What did we do to deserve this? I mean, I know there was some malice in my energy when I sent Nick out a couple of weeks ago to kill the single wasp that was whisping around wreaking havoc on my feng shui energy. But these things need to know who is boss. I thought if I had Nick kill one the word would be out about what happens to things that intrude. Apparently I was wrong. Now I have to wait until Thursday for the professional wasp killer to come in and handle the situation.
Horrid things they are.
Now that you all are caught up on my inner personal drama, let's get to the delicious part of the blog. Today I have a recipe packed full of great flavor and it is super easy to make. Take a look at this scrumptious Salsa Chicken and Cheesy Rice.
Nutritional Information:
Serving Size: 1/6th
Calories: 300. 3
Fat: 8.16 g
Carbohydrates: 29.9 g
Fiber: 1.68 g

- 1 ½ ears corn, cooked & shucked
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 to 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- Hot sauce
- 1 ½ cup rice, uncooked
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- In a medium skillet, over medium heat, cook your chicken then remove from heat
- In another large skillet, add the salsa, corn, tomato sauce and spices and cook over low heat
- In the meantime, shred or slice the chicken {whatever you like} and add to the salsa mixture
- Incorporate fully and allow to warm through for about 15 minutes
- While the salsa mixture is heating, cook the rice according to the directions
- When you remove the rice from the heat, add the shredded chicken and cover to allow the rice to cook and the cheese to melt in
- When the rice is completely cooked, stir to make sure the cheese is fully incorporated and you can eat add the rice to the salsa mixture OR you can add a couple of spoonfuls to a plate and top with a few scoops of the chicken and salsa mixture
I loved this dinner. It was so easy to make and cooks up so quickly! The flavors of the salsa and chicken mixes perfectly with the creaminess of the rice filled with cheese. LOVEEEE!
You should all make this one night this week, you will not be disappointed!
Until Next Time,
Happy Salsa Chicken Makin'

Dr Jyuung-Shiauu Chern, Lead Shepherd of the APEC Energy Working Group, spoke with the APEC Bulletin about the outlook for collaboration between them to address sustainability challenges within the sector as economic and environmental priorities change.
APEC Bulletin: How is APEC's work to strengthen energy security in the region evolving?
Dr Chern: In the past, many separate renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies were proposed. Now we see that community-level integration of them is key to realizing a better world. In APEC, we are taking forward an Energy Smart Communities Initiative to support this effort. Under the initiative, we have a lot of activities, including city design and a knowledge-sharing platform.
APEC Bulletin: To what extent are governments, businesses and the public in the region embracing new policies and approaches for improving energy development and energy use?
Dr Chern: In the past, many efforts were only focused on central governments. However, to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency, cooperation from communities and local governments is key.
For the past six years, we have promoted the APEC Energy Smart Communities Initiative and information-sharing, technology building and expertise exchanges under it. Each year we also have a recognition program as part of the initiative that spotlights outstanding projects in the field. We do see a lot of participants from the grassroots, from local governments. They benefit a lot from this interaction. This is very important, and we are actively working to attract more grassroots entities and local governments to join.
APEC Bulletin: What is the progress of the APEC Low Carbon Model Town initiative?
Dr Chern: Low Carbon Model Towns are a sub-branch of the APEC Energy Smart Communities Initiative. Every year, we choose a city or community in the region and offer expertise to urban planners on how to integrate renewable energy and energy efficiency into their designs. The aim is to help them introduce new technologies and concepts from the design stage. To date, we have chosen seven cities and all have accepted our recommendations. This activity will continue.
APEC Bulletin: How prepared are labor forces in the Asia-Pacific to support and benefit from modernization in the energy sector, and what is APEC doing to address training and skills gaps?
Dr Chern: There are several facts we must consider. First, there are aging problems in developed economies in the region. There are also many young people in developing APEC economies. Each of these groups – including older, more experienced workers and those just starting out – may not have skills compatible with the latest energy technologies. Therefore, knowledge-sharing, especially at the grassroots level, is critical.
There is lots of valuable information available right now on the APEC Energy Smart Communities Initiative's knowledge-sharing platform that can be used to address this challenge at the local level. We also have expert groups on energy efficiency and renewable energy that hold lots of activities in APEC economies. They help to attract local attention and educate the public.
We have another task force on energy resilience. One of the key decisions that we made recently is to focus on workforce resilience. As part of this effort, we have begun taking steps to support human resource development within the sector, in collaboration with the private sector. This includes strengthening public outreach, skills training and incentives to lower recruitment and retention barriers. We are also addressing areas like disaster preparedness and recovery to ensure operational continuity.
( Excerpt from APEC News Release: "APEC on Target to Meet Sustainable Energy Commitments" )

George Clooney Gave This 87-Year-Old Woman An Adorable Birthday Surprise!
He surprised mega fan Pat Adams at her retirement home in Reading.
George Clooney proved himself to be the world's greatest gent yet again!
The 55-year-old actor paid a visit to Pat Adams, a resident at the Sunrise Sonning Retirement and Assisted Living Facility in Reading, Berkshire, South East England, to celebrate her special day on Sunday after she had told staff members how fond she was of the silver fox.
A colleague at the residential home shared a picture of Pat with her idol on their official Facebook account, which was captioned: "The lady in the picture, loves George Clooney and mentions every day how she would love to meet him, especially as he lives so near to where I work."
Picture: Linda Jones, Facebook
"So, letters have been sent asking would it be possible for her dream to come true?"

And the 'Ocean's Eleven' star made sure not to come empty handed bringing along a card and a bouquet of flowers to give to Pat, which made the visit "extra special".
The post continued: "What was extra special it was her birthday in the week. He bought a card and a lovely bunch of flowers."
Another worker at the centre, Malcolm Hague, also took to social media to share the news.
Alongside the picture of the American hunk and Pat, which was posted on his Twitter account, he wrote: "Special visitor for Pat @SianHammer @SunriseSrUK @SandsAnge #dreamscometrue (sic)."
George's appearance even came as a shock to the rest of the staff who weren't in on the surprise!
One care worker posted on Facebook: "He popped in today, while I was on shift. We didn't know he was coming!
"I answered the door, lucky I hadn't diverted calls on the Dec phone, as someone else could have answered it!!!!"
That's certainly not what you expect to see when you head into work in the morning!
George, you're welcome to pop round to our office any time...

WACO, Texas (KWTX) Every year, the Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo supports Texas country music artists by bringing them to play in Waco.
(Photo by Randy Davis)
Zane Williams had played in Waco many times, and even at the Extraco Event Center, but never during the HOT Fair & Rodeo, until Wednesday.
The singer-songwriter said he was excited to be playing for a city where his fan base had been growing in recent years.
Williams is an independent artist, known for having hits played on Texas country radio like "Overnight success," "99 Bottles," and "Jayton and Jill."
He's also the man behind the song "While I Was Away," recorded Pat Green in 2015.
The Huser Brothers opened for Williams on the fair's main stage Wednesday night.
The set list included his fan favorites, plus several 90s country covers.
Williams, who lives in McKinney, said he wished his wife and kids could have been there to join him at the HOT Fair & Rodeo, but they were unable to make it.

The World in a Jug
In May 1932, folklorist John Lomax and his teenage son Alan drove around the town of Terrell, Texas, with an Edison cylinder-recording machine in the back of their Ford Model A. When they heard a washerwoman singing on her porch, they pulled over to try out the recorder. The woman put on a clean apron and began to sing for the device in words pared down to the barest expressive essentials. "Healin' water done move, / Healin' water done move, / Soul so happy now, / Healin' water done move."
"The voice of that skinny little black woman," Alan Lomax wrote decades later, faithfully reproducing the juvenile romanticism of the moment, "was as full of shakes and quavers as a Southern river is full of bends and bayous . . . As the song ended, she was weeping and saying over and over, 'O Lord have mercy, O Lord have mercy.'"
His epiphany had a second part that connected the spiritual with the sociopolitical. A few miles down the road, at the Smithers Plantation in Huntsville, the Lomaxes recorded black tenant farmers singing the hard truth of their lives: "His clothes is full of patches, / And his hat is full of holes, / Stoopin' down, pullin' cotton, / From the bottom boles, / Poor farmer, poor farmer, poor farmer, / They git all a farmer makes."
"I saw what I had to do," Lomax said, looking back 64 years to his 17-year-old self and adding the mythifying note: "My job was to get as much of these views, these feelings, this unheard majority, onto the center of the stage."
It's one thing to feel a sense of mission, another to fulfill it. That Alan Lomax did fulfill it, on an unprecedented scale and as far as was humanly and technologically possible in his time, we learn from Alan Lomax: The Man Who Recorded the World. John Szwed, the author of this comprehensive and acute biography, and a professor of music and the acting director of the Center for Jazz Studies at Columbia, takes us with Lomax time and again, at home and abroad, down backroads and across savannas into unknown country. We watch this formidable Texan engage with the locals, find his way to the most primordial and essential musicians, and come away with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of recordings and interviews that are accompanied by their cultural and sociohistorical context, ready for broadcast, archiving, and release. Even today, listening to Lomax's field recordings can shock a listener from his comfort zone into musical materia prima as elemental as earth and breath and blood, or startle us with a refinement that seems to come out of nowhere.
Szwed seems in effortless command of a complex field of action. His writing moves without strain, from the general to the particular, from the big picture to the small, and he possesses an intellectual and scholarly range appropriate to his subject. As for the defining period of the New Deal, for instance — when Lomax, based at the Library of Congress, was given extraordinary scope and resources — Szwed gives us a masterly compound picture of the politics and aesthetics of the time, including a wealth of bureaucratic struggle, the still-vexed question of copyright and royalty payments, and Lomax's deep engagement with such iconic figures of the period as Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, and Jelly Roll Morton.
When, in 1938, Lomax first met Morton, a seminal but forgotten New Orleans musician running a nightclub in a corner of Washington, D.C., he viewed jazz as the enemy of all he held dear, his preference always being for the root above the branch. But with characteristic keenness he recognized the man's musical and personal authenticity as soon as he heard him play and talk. Their long interviews, which, according to Szwed, invented the genre of oral autobiography, resulted in the classic 1950 book Mister Jelly Roll. The new commercial recordings Lomax secured for Morton restored to him, in his last years, the proper benison of his art.

text: Cinque Terre is a region in Italy that holds 5 different towns on the Amalfi coast. One of them, Corniglia, is built on a hill so you have to climb alot of stairs to get to the top. It is very touristy but certainly has its aesthetic value. The towns are all extremely tiny and can be done in a day or two. There is a train that connects them, but many prefer to hike across along the seaside paths. When I went, some of the paths were shut down so we took the train. The towns are pretty expensive but I had some amazing lasagna. There were great rocks and the color of the sea was so blue! I dipped my feet in the water, but it was a little too cold to go swimming all the way. Since the towns are so small, it is difficult to find hostels to stay in so we stayed at a campsite 15 minutes away from Manarola. On the way back from Cinque Terre we stopped at the leaning tower of Pisa to take some photos. It was a great weekend.

Stadium Pact To Be Revised For Financing
Wednesday, February 1, 2006
D.C. Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi said yesterday that Mayor Anthony A. Williams has agreed to alter a new baseball stadium lease agreement to make it acceptable to Wall Street bond raters.
After seeing an amended lease agreement between the District and Major League Baseball, Gandhi said Friday that he would not issue stadium construction bonds because a reserve fund had been omitted, along with two other fiscal provisions that he considered critical. Gandhi said the provisions are necessary to secure an investment-grade rating on the bonds and obtain a lower interest rate for the city.
District officials met for 3 1/2 hours yesterday with former Detroit mayor Dennis W. Archer, who is mediating a dispute over the lease between the city and Major League Baseball. During the meeting, Williams (D) agreed to reinsert the three provisions into the agreement before the council votes on the deal, Gandhi said.
Asked whether he was satisfied, Gandhi said: "I think so. I'll wait to see the final paperwork."
Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp (D) said she did not know why the provisions had been removed from the lease. Baseball officials had resisted the provisions last fall, but they agreed to them after Gandhi insisted in December.
"It was news to the council also," Cropp said of the removal of the provisions. "We want them back in the lease."
After yesterday's meeting, Williams still faced questions from the D.C. Council over how the city will cap the costs of the stadium project.
Although the council is scheduled to vote on the lease deal Tuesday, Cropp said it is possible that she will postpone the vote if Williams does not deliver additional documents in a timely fashion and if council members request more time to review the package.
Williams promised to provide the council with a complete package of construction contracts -- known as the construction administration agreement -- by Friday. City officials said the package is expected to include a "guaranteed maximum price" contract with construction companies to cap the cost of the ballpark structure at $320 million, which would include $20 million that Major League Baseball promised in December.
Cropp said the council will hire its own consultants to review the lease agreement before the vote.
Council member Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7) is considered a swing vote by the Williams administration, which needs a majority of the 13-member council to approve the lease. Gray said he and others are waiting to see further documentation of the mayor's promises.
"I'm not there yet, period," Gray said, when asked if he supports the lease deal.

Sometimes when I am driving to school I am overcome with the magnificence of God. I know, unlikely place. But honestly it happens. I either see something or think of something that makes me reflect on Him, and I am always dumbfounded.
Easily my favorite part of driving to school, and possibly the only valid reason to leave my house before 7:30, is driving over a bridge near my house. Every time I ride over this bridge with my mom, she always comments on how she just loves the shimmery water. I guess that her love for the sparkle has rubbed off on me too.
Every morning, I am greeted by an amazing sunrise, and I mean amazing. What truly mesmerizes me is the beauty, but not only in the amazing colors, but that it is different every single day. I have never seen the same sunrise twice. Similar colors, yes. Same position, yes. But not an identical event. I know that there is legit scientific reasons for this: the weather and seasons probably affect it. But still, it is amazing that something so constant and beautiful is also infinitely unique. Every time, like clockwork, it causes me to smile and say "Good morning, Lord". I know it is cheesy, but it is always a good morning.
I recall a certain morning that the sun was extra bright. Like the kind of bright that you cannot actually look straight into. Like Abbey-don't-take-your-eyes-off-the-road-because-now-you-are-temporarily-blind-and-still-driving-a-moving-vehicle kind of bright. But it was gorgeous nonetheless. And in that moment when my eyes hurt a little due to the brightness, I thought back to when God revealed himself to mankind on earth. I know, it's weird that that was my first thought, but honestly that is what I thought of. I thought back to the many times in the Bible that people actually saw glimpses of God, but not even in all of his glory. When God reveals part of himself to people in the Bible (like Moses, Paul, Peter, James, and more), most often they fall to their faces in admiration and humility.
Now, when I saw that bright sun I did not fall to my face. It honestly just made me see spots for a few seconds. But then I got to thinking. Wow, God is even brighter than that sun. Then I realized, Abbey, the sun you just saw is merely a star within a galaxy that God has created. And there are billions of galaxies out there, with billions of stars each, many of which are even brighter than our sun!
And I imagined all of that brightness brought together to be as bright as God's glory. And STILL that wasn't enough.
Which led me to think, the stars are bright, but they are nothing compared to His true beauty. They are merely freckles along Jesus' face. Honestly, I really liked that image. That beautiful, unique, and brilliant part of creation is just a teeny, tiny fleck. Many people view freckles as imperfections on the skin (which I definitely disagree with), but what an interesting comparison.
And honestly, we could argue all day that the sun could not even compare to a metaphorical atom of God's holy body. And we could argue that describing God could, in part, be limiting Him to things that we understand. But honestly, my only intention, within my little, finite mind, is to bring a sense of admiration to the thinkers out there.
To me, it is comforting knowing that Jesus, the Son of God who desired so passionately an intimate relationship with me, is more beautiful than all the stars, all the waves, all the sunrises, all the fields, all the mountains, and all the beauty that I can observe here on earth. I just feel in awe.
All of the glory that we can possibly imagine, from the magnificence of stars, to the beauty in the ocean, to the tranquility of rolling hills. They are nothing in the grand scheme of God's incomprehensible glory.
So, if you are in need of some awe-inspiring thoughts, just look at the Son's freckles.

text: What would make me get up at 5:30? The chance to photograph the Villa Maris in the proper light, that's what. Also known as the Pink Palace, sometimes affectionately, other times derisively, this is one of the Vancouver areas most iconic buildings. Built in 1965, it sports a design and colour more commonly found in south Florida rather than Vancouver, which certainly makes it stand out against the glass and steel back drop of it's surroundings.
