I just got back from visiting my parents for a couple of days. My sister, Joy, and I drove up together and though it was a fast trip, it's always fun to hang out with the rents. We went to Memphis to do a little shopping and then headed back to eat at one of my favorite restaurants, The Sandbar Grille...yummy! Their filet is one of the best I've ever had and their banana pudding is DE-LISH!!
My cute parents, sitting by the carousel.
Me and my sis, looking terribly washed out in this pic...I hear the tanning bed calling our name!
Alex and I decided to make reservations somewhere and bring in the New Year, just the two of us. We wanted low-key, this year. I feel like we've been running non-stop right up until Christmas, so it will be nice to spend this evening and tomorrow, just me and my man. Late last week, I started calling around and so many restaurants were completely booked or only had 5pm reservations left. So we reserved a table at P.F. Chang's for a late dinner and will come back to the house and watch movies on the couch until midnight. My definition of a perfect evening.
I can't believe that I have to start writing 2009 on my checks, starting tomorrow. It took me until July to get used to writing 2008. Has this year not flown by? When I stop and reflect on 2008, it makes me smile. God has truly blessed us this year. I have to say, the one thing that I am most thankful for this year is Journey Church. We started with 4 of us in a living room. I have to admit that it was hard to even imagine at that time, just how far God would bring us and in less than a year! It's exciting to be a part of Journey and to be under pastors that have such huge hearts for bringing others to Christ.
When I think about what Alex and I have been through personally, this year, it also makes me smile. I'm thankful for each and every exciting and painful moment. Though I wish it had been God's plan to give us a baby in 2008, for whatever reason, it was not. So until then...I will wait. I love how He continues to heal our broken hearts and give us renewed hope. He is such a cool God. I'm trusting Him to grow our family in 2009! :)
I also can't help but stop and thank Him for blessing so many of you with healthy pregnancies this year. I have so many on my prayer list that I've been able to write ANSWERED PRAYER by your name! Each time He answered a prayer, it strengthened my faith...it showed me He is in control and He still performs miracles on a daily basis. I still have many on my list that are still waiting and I will continue to pray and believe that when the time is right, He's going to bless you with your miracle.
I'm excited to see what God has in store for my family, church, as well as all of you, that I've been blessed to come to know this year.
Happy New Year!
Love to all,

Christmas Day...
Christmas Day started with my sweet hubby allowing me to sleep in. I was so exhausted, because I stayed up until almost 3am Christmas morning, wrapping presents for later that day. I swear, next year I'm paying someone to wrap all of my presents. It will be worth every penny because I despise wrapping gifts. (LOL)
Alex and I decided early on that we would only do stocking stuffers for one another, this year. We're also buying a desk to set up a home office, which is part of our Christmas to each other. (I'm excited to find a desk...I'll post pics when I do!) He is going to be working from home one day a week and I'm ready to have a place for all of our computer stuff to go. Besides, with everything we have spent in fertility treatments this year, a home office and stocking stuffers are plenty. Alex cheated and bought me a little more than what can go in my stocking, but I love him for it. :) Around lunch time, my family came over and we had Christmas with them. Here are pics from Christmas Day with my side of the family...
Diesel had a big candy cane bone in his stocking...took him all of 30 mins to devour it, I'm sure. :)
BE WARNED!!! The following pic is of me as soon as I wake up...pre-coffee, pre-anything! (LOL) Alex bought me several books and cookbooks that I had been wanting...this being one of them. Williams Sonoma's Holiday Entertaining. Love it!
One of Alex's faves...Starbucks chocolate covered espresso beans.
Cody opening his very cool pumas.
Sara lovin' her Glitter and Bliss necklace...it says, MOMS ROCK and has a animal print background! So cute!
Cary opening his present from Drew...this is an inside joke that has happened for the past two years. All I can say is, Drew better watch out when he has kids. (LOL)
Drew opening a classic movie that we watched as kids..."The Happiest Millionaire" Great movie!!
Daddy opening his gifts...
We gave Joylyn a little case of 6 pairs of princess shoes. She literally carried them around from the second she opened them. She is also wearing a pair in this pic. Too cute!
This was a gift to Alex from one of our members...she made he and Cary Journey ornaments. One of our faves on our tree this year...thank you, Vickie!!
Mom and I bought these for Chris, since he will be playing the drums at Journey. He evidently needs them, so that he won't go deaf while practicing. I think he needs to wear them all of the time, don't you!? (hehehe)
Okay, my Mom made these...they are called snowballs. I don't even like coconut, but oh my gosh...these are awesome!! I had one every morning with coffee...okay, maybe two. I'm going to post the recipe on the blog, later on.
And here is the entire gang at the end of the day. Jackson is attacking Cary with something in the background...crazy kid. (LOL)
We are so blessed. Our families make the holidays so much fun! We just want to thank our families for making this a very memorable and Merry Christmas for us both!
We love you, guys!

Monogrammed Car Mats...
We bought Alex's little sis, April, a set of monogrammed car mats for Christmas. They were super cute and I regret to say that I didn't get a picture of the front of the mats. I only took one of her opening them, which is shown below.
Hers had a funky hot pink and lime green trim with a hot pink monogram. The font shown in the pic below was actually the same font that we used on hers. This pic looks just like hers but in different colors.
Some people were asking to see what they looked like, so here you go! :)
She absolutely loved them...it's a great gift idea, especially for teenagers!

Christmas Eve...
As I told you before, I have a lot of pics from the holiday, so I'm splitting them up into different posts and working my way up to Christmas Day. :)
On many a Christmas Eve, I take my nephews shopping. They work and save their money, so they can buy Christmas gifts for their Mom and Dad. When they were smaller, it was funny to see what they would pick out. Their parents racked up this year...starbucks gift cards, Ipod shuffles, some fancy flashlight that their Dad wanted...lots of good stuff! They even picked out items for their Mom's stocking, since she fills theirs and their Dad's. They were very thoughtful in their giving and it was a lot of fun to watch these three boys shop. I hope letting their Aunt Jill tag along is a tradition they will want to keep. I have a good chance, until they learn to drive themselves, anyway. :)
Journey had our Christmas Eve service that evening at 11:30pm. We started off the service with one of our favorites at Journey...Feliz Navidad (such a fun song to sing with a large group), sang many others and ended the song service with Silent Night. The message was wonderful and of course, the cookies and cider were a plus as well! Since the service was so late, many of the kids came in their pj's, which was quite adorable. I wish I had taken more pics but I was pretty busy that evening and wanted to visit with everyone, so these are the only ones that I took.
Alex and I have a blast, working along side these two. They are so freakin' talented! Doesn't hurt that he's my brother and she's my S-I-L either. :)
Jackson Luke, hammin' it up in his monkey pj's!
Kandace with Granny...she is the sweetest baby.
Those three nephews I was telling you about...Ty, Cody & Pryce. :)

Averitt Christmas 2008...
Christmas is over and that always makes me a little sad. I love everything about the season, so I always hate to see it come to an end. :)
We had the Averitt side of the family over on the 23rd...it was a lot of fun. I always enjoy watching the kiddos open their presents. They get so excited and are literally screaming with delight! (LOL) I have so many pics from our family gatherings over the past few days, so I decided to split them into different posts. Here are a few pics from The Averitt Family Christmas...
Me and my sweetie (he was running fever and not feeling well...bless his heart!)

This is Alex's youngest sis, April (isn't she gorgeous!?) We bought her monogrammed car mats...what every girl needs! :)

Labor of Love...
I know, I know...I'm supposed to be away from blogland for a few days. :) I was listening to this song today and just had to share it with you guys. It's my most favorite Christmas song. It really makes you stop and think about what it was probably like for Joseph & Mary that night. We forget about how young Mary was and how scared they must have been. The birth of our Lord and Saviour...what a wonderful gift.
Merry Christmas,
*don't forget to turn up your volume*

Soon it will be Christmas day...
Things are getting hectic around the Averitt home. My sister and I went out today and were true power-shoppers. We still had several people on our list to buy for. We left the house at 9:30am and didn't arrive home until 9pm. It was a fun day with my sis and I'm proud to say, I'm finished with my Christmas shopping!! I wish I had the energy to tell you what happened to us at the mall, but I'm so tired and need to get some sleep. All I will say is, it was scary and please be aware of your surroundings if you are out and about, shopping over the next two days!
I'm wrapping presents like a crazy woman...trying to finish up for the Averitt Christmas, which is here at our home, tomorrow night. Tomorrow, I have to go to the grocery store to buy what I need for tomorrow evening as well as for my family to come here on Christmas day. I'm feeling a tad bit overwhelmed, but I know once I get home from the store tomorrow and start baking/cooking in the kitchen, my nerves will settle down. I tend to want things to be perfect and I'm learning that it will never be and that's okay. :) I'm sure Alex wants to slip me a prozac whenever I'm planning a party of any kind. (LOL)
I'm going to be away from blogland for the next few days, in order to celebrate Christmas with our family and friends. I hope each and every one of you, have a very Merry Christmas!!

Please say a prayer for her and her family, as they process this terribly unfair news.

Happy 1st Birthday, Jackson Luke!!
This post has LOTS of pictures. It's a special post for a special little boy!
We had Jackson's party a few days ago, but today is his actual birthday. This little boy has brought such joy to our family over the past year. He has the cutest personality and the ability to warm your heart in an instant.
Jackson, Uncle Alex wrote this prayer just for you...
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the generations of faithful disciples that you have given to Jackson Luke as his heritage. I ask that as he becomes aware of Your presence, he would submit to you as Lord and follow you all the days of his life. I ask that you would bless Jackson in this life and that he would grow up into a mighty man of God. Thank you for your Word and the Life that it contains. I ask that as Jackson reads it, You would write it on his heart so that he would learn to fear you and obey your perfect will for his life. I ask that you would allow him to pass a heritage of faith on to his children and their children. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
Seems like just yesterday...

what a long weekend. i think it would have been better if someone didn't steal my goddamn duvet cover from the laundry room. who does that? i live in the same damn building. people irritate me. this was made even more obvious by the fact that someone stole from me where i live. shitheads.
then this morning i was up for no reason at all at 3:30. at first i thought it was the return of t-rex, but then i realized it was just a nightmare that he did return. where is that guy anyway? who cares. as long as i can live without him for a couple days, i'm a-okay. oh. back to my original gripe. when you have to get up very early ... in fact, when it is too early to be alive one must compromise with the elements. a while back good ol' anna sent me a link to someone's fun website with all sorts of fun stuff on it that i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. one of which was a damn bacon alarm clock! it sent my heart aflutter. it really did.
so basically you wake up when you don't want to, but wait! there's a surprise! delicious bacon waiting for you! how sweet. wake n' bacon!!
this is me at the crack of dawn:
... what's this? what's going on over thar?
oh! hello. there it is. the bacon surprise. how sweet.
here's why the clock was made! it's quite touching, actually:
"No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish."
true story! i've never seen any jewish people eat bacon. well, actually i did but they shall remain nameless ...
now, as a side note: when you write 'wakey wakey, eggs and bakey' is that how you spell it? i've always been curious about that. it's really the type of thing you have to say out loud to get.
also, i want to note that when i first saw this curious feat of alarm clock/breakfast machine it made me happy. it must have gotten very popular in the last month cuz it was featured on a bunch of websites. holla! those boys is s.m.a.r.t.
oooh. you know what's also exciting? new year's eve! horay! PPP is joining us from detroit at the fix! i might fall over and die from excitement. i've been looking forward to this nite for a very, very long time. plus lifesavas are opening. it's going to be so live!

Ariana - posted on 09/19/2012 ( 2 moms have responded )
I am a mother of a (almost) 3 year old boy. I go to my friends house quite a bit and she has three daughters. They all are a bit agressive and not disciplined the best but usually pretty good around him. The biggest problem has actually been that my friends youngest daughter, about 18 months, keeps hitting my son. She was also trying to throw hard toys at him last time I was there.
He tends to give a really big reaction to her as he's sort of a youngest child (I watch my half-sister but she's much older so he's basically like the youngest/only child). He yells AHHH and runs away which seems to make her do it more. I first tried telling him to stop running and yelling and tell her to stop it, which he did, but she just went up to him and hit him.
I also try to tell her you can't play with friends you hit and if she does it I try to keep her away from him but sometimes she's very sweet and doesn't do anything to him and then she'll just go over and hit him. I've tried saying 'nice touching' but that doesn't help either. Her mom doesn't really do anything about it and the last time I was there she wacked him over the head with a toy and her mom just said she didn't think her daughter meant to do it, and I simply said she'd been hitting him since we got there.
I think neither of us knows what to do but I know when my son was younger if he did that I'd at least give him a stern 'no, we don't hit'. She doesn't even really say anything and if she does it's very nice like 'be gentle' which isn't helping. I feel at a loss. Do I just keep her away from him? It's hard to seperate them when sometimes she's nice and sometimes she hits him. Plus he's a lot older comparatively so all I've been able to say is stay away from her which is hard for him if we're there for more than 20 minutes. He actually likes her and talks about her when we're away from the house but I would really like to do something to stop the hitting.
What should I do to try and stop her from hitting him? Is there anything that can be done with a 18 month old to stop that sort of thing?

Student Starters
Now is a good time to plan on
releasing more responsibility for learning
to your students.
The first quarter/semester is when you model reading and writing strategies, making, connections, incorporating a wide variety of examples in your own instruction, and also informing the students that you'll be sharing the teaching opportunities with them to reach the COMMON CORE STANDARDS or AP Standards or those specific to your course. Thus, more students will be paying more attention and thinking about what they will be able to do. This pedagogical practice works well with students of all ages and abilities from those in upper elementary grades to middle school to graduate school in college.
When I've given this assignment, I've left the details pretty wide open because students always come up with appropriate things I'd never have thought of suggesting.
Of course, the students will want to know how much it's worth. I'd say about 5% of the quarter grade. Enough to make a difference, but not enough to make them apprehensive. Kinds of connections? See HOW? below. Leave it as open as possible in your teaching situation. Trust them to do the right thing,
Most students are interested in the 5W and H?
- Who? You
- What? Whatever seems appropriate to you that shows some connection to what we're studied in the past week. See HOW?
- When? On the date you've signed up during the first 5-7 minutes of class.
- Where? Here in our classroom.
- Why? Because what you have to say can help us learn. This is a way for you to practice your presentation skills and earn full credit for an on time, within time, and appropriate presentation.
- How? Your choice of what's appropriate. Could be a dramatic reading from the text; a poem, song, or video clip (previewed by teacher) that
- relates to, explains, explores and expands the topic we're studying;
- makes a relevant connection to something studied in another course;
- is something experienced, observed, or viewed on TV or on-line.
If administrators or parents ask what's going on, you can direct them to Pearson and Gallagher's pedagogical theory of Gradual Release of Responsibility

I enjoy you because of your whole hard work on this web page. My mum takes pleasure in doing internet research and it's easy to see why. A lot of people hear all about the powerful means you provide powerful techniques by means of the blog and recommend participation from visitors about this topic then my child is undoubtedly studying a lot. Have fun with the remaining portion of the new year. You're conducting a really good job.
I simply want to say I am just all new to blogs and honestly savored your web site. Very likely I'm likely to bookmark your website . You amazingly come with good article content. Appreciate it for revealing your web page.
I've been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth
enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

Document Details
Published Document
Office of the Secretary, DHHS.
The Federal Medical Assistance Percentages and Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages for Fiscal Year 2006 have been calculated pursuant to the Social Security Act (the Act). These percentages will be effective from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. This notice announces the calculated "Federal Medical Assistance Percentages" and "Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages" that we will use in determining the amount of Federal matching for State medical assistance (Medicaid) and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) expenditures, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Contingency Funds, the federal share of Child Support Enforcement collections, Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund, Foster Care Title IV-E Maintenance payments, and Adoption Assistance payments. The table gives figures for each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Programs under title XIX of the Act exist in each jurisdiction; programs under titles I, X, and XIV operate only in Guam and the Virgin Islands; while a program under title XVI (Aid to the Aged, Blind, or Disabled) operates only in Puerto Rico. Programs under title XXI began operating in fiscal year 1998. The percentages in this notice apply to State expenditures for most medical services and medical insurance services, and assistance payments for certain social services. The statute provides separately for Federal matching of administrative costs.
Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of the Act require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish the Federal Medical Assistance Percentages each year. The Secretary is to figure the percentages, by formulas in sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B), from the Department of Commerce's statistics of average income per person in each State and in the Nation as a whole. The percentages are within the upper and lower limits given in section 1905(b) of the Act. The percentages to be applied to the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands are specified in statute, and thus are not based on the statutory formula that determines the percentages for the 50 states.
The "Federal Medical Assistance Percentages" are for Medicaid. Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies the formula for calculating Federal Medical Assistance Percentages as follows:
"Federal medical assistance percentage" for any State shall be 100 per centum less the State percentage; and the State percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 45 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capita income of the continental United States (including Alaska) and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal medical assistance percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or more than 83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical assistance percentage for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa shall be 50 per centum.
A provision in the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 modified the formula to calculate the percentages to be applied to Alaska for purposes of titles XIX and XXI of the Act for fiscal years 2001 through 2005. For Alaska only, the formula required dividing the state's three-year average per capita income by 1.05 instead of 1.0. This provision has not been extended, and therefore the calculation for Alaska reverts to the standard formula.
In addition, section 4725 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 amended section 1905(b) to provide that the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage for the District of Columbia for purposes of titles XIX and XXI shall be 70 percent. For the District of Columbia, we note under the table of Federal Medical Assistance Percentages the rate that applies in certain other programs calculated using the formula otherwise applicable, and the rate that applies in certain other programs pursuant to section 1118 of the Social Security Act.
Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies the formula for calculating the Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages as follows:
The "enhanced FMAP", for a State for a fiscal year, is equal to the Federal medical assistance percentage (as defined in the first sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State increased by a number of percentage points equal to 30 percent of the number of percentage points by which (1) such Federal medical assistance percentage for the State, is less than (2) 100 percent; but in no case shall the enhanced FMAP for a State exceed 85 percent.
The "Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages" are for use in the State Children's Health Insurance Program under Title XXI, and in the Medicaid program for certain children for expenditures for medical assistance described in sections 1905(u)(2) and 1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no specific requirement to publish the Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentages. We include them in this notice for the convenience of the States.
The percentages listed will be effective for each of the 4 quarter-year periods in the period beginning October 1, 2005 and ending September 30, 2006.Start Further Info

Kristi Lopez is ready to get back in the mix this Friday as a part of Bellator 182 in Verona, New York. She will face Jessica Sotack for her overdue debut with Bellator, whom she signed a multi-fight contract with earlier this year.
Lopez will be fighting at 125 pounds in Bellator, which she tells us is a lot more comfortable of a weight cut than 115.
It has been nearly a year since Kristi Lopez stepped into a cage at the Ultimate Fighter 23, losing her "get in the house" match to JJ Aldrich by decision. Lopez had turned what was a loss into a positive note in her career.
It's been a journey. There's always ups and downs in fighting. It was very humbling and heartbreaking experience, but from that comes the biggest growth. Once you can overcome obstacles and hardships like that, you are ready for anything.
One of the test about being a fighter is if you can keep fight after a loss.
The 2-0 fighter is trained at King's MMA as she prepared herself for the fight. She has been an up and coming prospect, having been featured on Oxygen's "Living Different" in 2014 that chronicled her first pro win. After that, she was out with an injury for nearly 8 months. She used the best part of her time out of action.
Fighting is a lot mental. When you have something you want so bad and working so hard for taken away from you for a little bit in terms of an injury or a loss, I think you will either rise up for the challenge and want it that much more or you are going to quit. I am not a quitter.
During the long layoffs, I learned a lot about myself. When you get injured or have to take time off, or things aren't going your way, you have to be able to persevere.
Lopez has a great support system in her family, which several are boxers. Although she took a different root with grappling, she is looking to return to add to her striking.
Looking at the division in Bellator, she admires Heather Hardy and Illima-Lei MacFarlane, and is looking to make her way up the ranks.
That starts Friday, which will kick off what will hopefully be a new chapter in Lopez's career. Win or lose, she is happy to be where she is now.
I think things are meant to happen for a reason. One thing I have been feeling is grateful. Grateful for this opportunity. Grateful for Bellator. That just makes me train that much harder, and want this that much more. It makes me want to put on a great show.
Lopez's match will stream on Bellator.com Friday.

Entrainment of Chaotic Activities in Brain and Heart During MBSR Mindfulness Training Neuroscience Letters. Mar, 2016 | Pubmed ID: 26784361 The activities of the brain and the heart are dynamic, chaotic, and possibly intrinsically coordinated. This study aims to investigate the effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on the chaoticity of electronic activities of the brain and the heart, and to explore their potential correlation. Electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) were recorded at the beginning of an 8-week standard MBSR training course and after the course. EEG spectrum analysis was carried out, wavelet entropies (WE) of EEG (together with reconstructed cortical sources) and heart rate were calculated, and their correlation was investigated. We found enhancement of EEG power of alpha and beta waves and lowering of delta waves power during MBSR training state as compared to normal resting state. Wavelet entropy analysis indicated that MBSR mindfulness meditation could reduce the chaotic activities of both EEG and heart rate as a change of state. However, longitudinal change of trait may need more long-term training. For the first time, our data demonstrated that the chaotic activities of the brain and the heart became more coordinated during MBSR training, suggesting that mindfulness training may increase the entrainment between mind and body. The 3D brain regions involved in the change in mental states were identified.

Bowling Green has had more snow than some northern cities

Bowling Green has had more snow than some northern cities
Belski's Blog
Bowling Green, KY averages about 8 inches of snow a winter.
Last winter they had 23.5 inches of snow.
Bowling Green has topped that total so far this winter with 23.7 inches.
This morning, there is still 5 inches on the ground after the Valentine's Day storm.
Let's compare the Bowling Green season snow with cities further.... some much further to the north.
Winter snow total:
Bowling Green: 23.7 inches
Louisville: 14.4
Cincinnati: 16.4
Indianapolis: 11.3
Fort Wayne, IN: 14.6
Peoria, IL: 15.1
Moline, IL: 21.2
Columbus, OH: 11.3
Cleveland: 19.0
Detroit: 20.7
Saginaw, MI: 23.5
Bismarck, ND 20.0
Winter is not over, but if these numbers hold, this would be historic.

DEVELOPING: The special prosecutor is expected to bring charges against George Zimmerman this afternoon.
In the Trayvon Martin case, George Zimmerman's lawyers have become his former lawyers, while keeping open the possibility that they may become his future lawyers—all of which is par for the course in this bizarre case. There were cases on the "X-Files" that didn't have as many weird twists as this one. The lawyer said Zimmerman has "cut off all contact and has started doing things without telling me he's doing them." Well, now he knows how that 911 operator felt back on the day of the incident.
The lawyers said that Zimmerman called the prosecutor on his own. That's never a good thing for a suspect to do. He also called Sean Hannity. That's never a good thing for anybody to do. How did George Zimmerman get through to Sean Hannity? Would people have believed him when he said he was George Zimmerman? Maybe he just told Hannity's people that he was a rightwing gun nut, and Sean took the call.
In his withdrawal speech, Rick Santorum didn't mention Mitt Romney at all. But when you think about it, Mitt beat his opponents with 100 percent negative ads, so Mitt Romney actually won the nomination without mentioning Mitt Romney.
Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich's campaign has bounced a $500 check for the filing fee to appear on the ballot in the Utah primary! Yeesh, Newt! Get a clue! Even Rick Santorum had the sense to bail before the wheels completely fell off. Maybe Newt can get the state of Utah to give him a half-million dollar line of credit like Tiffany's did.

Critic Reviews for Saudade Do Futuro
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)
Completely successful or not, films like Saudade do Futuro are needed. And we need people like the Nordestinos.
As much a cinematic treasure as it is a celebration of Brazil's musical traditions.
A fun and affectionate look at street musicians in Brazil, especially those practicing a kind of traditional rap poking fun at themselves, the audience and the sadness of life itself.

Porsche 911 Targa India launch price Rs 1,59 crores
Porsche first introduced the 911 back in 1963, but as a coupe. The open top, semi convertible variant came in 1967. This was called 911 Targa. Targa in Italian means 'plate'. It is a registered trademark of Porsche AG, and is derived from a sports car race in Sicily called Targa Florio, where Porsche had notable success.
Featuring the iconic fixed roof, in the most advanced format yet, Porsche 911 Targa seventh generation was launched in India today. Offered in two options – 911 Targa 4 and 911 Targa 4S, price starts from Rs 1.59 crores and Rs 1.78 crores respectively, ex-showroom New Delhi. Both these cars are now available across exclusive Porsche dealerships in India.
Power to the 911 Targa 4 comes from a 3.4 litre inline 6, generating 350 hp and 390 Nm torque. The 4S comes with a 3.8 inline 6 generating 400 hp and 440 Nm torque. Both machines are mated to latest 7 speed dual clutch automatic transmission. When equipped with a Sport Chrono package, the Targa 4 does 0-100 kmph in 4.8 seconds and the 4S does the same in 4.4 seconds. They have a top speed of 282 kmph and 296 kmph respectively. Additionally, if you want more power, you can opt for the Carerra S Powerkit. This will boost power by 30 hp. Sadly, this is only on offer for Targa 4S.

WILMINGTON, NC – The Charleston Battery drew, 1-1, with the Wilmington Hammerheads in North Carolina Saturday night. The match started on a 30 minute weather delay and came to a strange and abrupt end, again due to weather, in the 89th minute.
Wilmington opened the scoring in the 35th minute after a physical first half. The Hammerheads earned a free kick in a dangerous area at the top of Charleston's box. As three Wilmington players stood over the ball, pushing and shoving occurred in several places across the penalty area. After the referee calmed things down, Michael Binns struck the free kick that deflected off the Battery wall and beat Alex Tambakis at his near post.
O'Brian Woodbine scored a cracker in stoppage time of the first half to level the scoring. A Justin Portillo corner kick was cleared to Woodbine who took a touch to bring it down, another to beat an on rushing defender, then smashed a right-footed volley past Wilmington goalkeeper Eric Atti. The goal was Woodbine's third of the year.
The two teams traded chances through a physical second half, but neither could find the go-ahead goal. Both teams had shots cleared off the line in the dying moments of the final 45 minutes.
The two coaches and officials elected to call the game in the 89th minute after lightning was spotted in the area. The Battery left Wilmington with a point and a 2-0-1 record against the Hammerheads this season.
Charleston returns to MUSC Health Stadium next Saturday, August 27th to take on the surging Charlotte Independence. The Battery will honor its 1996 squad at the match against the Independence and celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the Club's first USL Championship.
Box Score:
CHARLESTON BATTERY: Alex Tambakis, O'Brian Woodbine (yellow card, 29th) (goal, 45th), Forrest Lasso, Shawn Ferguson, Emmanuel Adjetey, Maikel Chang (Quinton Griffith, 77th), Justin Portillo, Neveal Hackshaw, Zach Prince (yellow card, 33rd) (Dante Marini, ), Romario Williams (Heviel Cordoves, 68th), Chris Tsonis (Atualla Guerra)

WILMINGTON HAMMERHEADS: Eric Atti, Pedro Doue (Logan Miller, 68th), Michael Mecham, Bruno Perone, Ashani Fairclough, Justin Moose (Ferrety Sousa, 76th), Liam Miller, Stephan Defregger (Austin Martze, 59th), Michael Binns, Matt Barnes-Homer (Qudus Lawal, 85th) Jermie Lynch (Kyle Parker, 71st)

Although I should point out that
I spend more than that on
hair extensions alone!
Photo: Crestock
Anyway, first, Christina was a guest on Chelsea Lately, where she shocked the audience by confessing that she doesn't wear underwear. "I like to be as free as possible at all times," she explained to gasps from the easily shocked crowd.
And now, woohoo, serious weight-gain paydirt: Christina has been offered a rubenesque THREE MILLION DOLLARS to be the face of a dating website for "big and beautiful" women. Christina has repeatedly stated she's "proud" of her burgeoning curves ... that's her at left, being very proud of her curves. (And if she's not wearing Spanx in that photo, I will eat this entire bucket of KFC all by myself. In fact I'm going to go ahead and do that anyway.)
TheBigandTheBeautiful.com says it is seriously interested in signing her as its spokeswoman. No word yet on whether Christina is proud enough of her curves to accept the offer, but either way, TheBigandTheBeautiful.com wins. Because I had never heard of it before and now I can assure you I am going to Google it, because this I've gotta see. (If you'd care to join me, here's the link: BigandBeautiful).
And as I polish off this last piece of delicious fried chicken, a sobering thought occurs to me: Some of us gain weight and it just sucks. Others gain weight and the fat metabolizes into headlines, star power and cash.
Editor's note News flash: Life is not fair.

(originally published on October 12, 2016)
Regarding the five states or stations of life, I point out the following biblically commanded requirements and restrictions:
1. The state of SINGLENESS —
Requirements: Believers of both genders are to find increased ways to serve God and others with the extra time they posses as a single person. Restrictions: They are not allowed to be involved in any kind of sexual activity to any degree, in any way, shape, or form, for any reason, with anyone. Nor are Christian singles allowed by God to knowingly or intentionally marry an unbeliever.
2. The state of MARRIAGE —
Requirements: Both the husband and the wife are to view marriage as an absolute, unconditional, lifelong covenant commitment, and both must fulfill their God-appointed responsibilities according to their God-assigned biblical roles. Restrictions: Neither husband nor wife is allowed to violate or switch their God-given roles, nor deny one another sexual fulfillment as long as it is biblically acceptable, nor divorce for any reason they want, nor be physically, emotionally, or verbally intimate with anyone other than their spouse.
3. The state of DIVORCE —
Requirements: There are two–and only two–biblically acceptable grounds for divorce. These are unrepentant adultery, and/or unrepentant abandonment by an unbeliever as defined by Scripture. There are absolutely no other exceptions, no matter what the painful circumstances might be. Restrictions: Some divorced people, depending on the situation, might be forbidden by God in Scripture to get remarried until certain conditions are met, if ever. Consult your spiritual leaders to see how the Bible applies specifically to you in this matter. Also, divorced people are like single people, in that there is no allowance for any kind of sexual activity, not even with the consent of an ex-husband or ex-wife.
4. The state of REMARRIAGE —
Requirements: The Bible only allows remarriage for individuals who have biblical grounds for their most recent divorce. And they are commanded to fulfill all of the normal and biblical responsibilities of all other married people in the Bible according to their God-assigned roles. Again, if they are Christians and are able to remarry, they must marry another Christian. Restrictions: They are not allowed to intentionally marry an unbeliever. And, they are not allowed to remarry without biblical grounds for their recent divorce. Lastly, they are not allowed to remarry an ex, if that ex has been married to someone else in the interlude.
5. The state of WIDOWHOOD —
Requirements: In 1 Timothy 5:3-16, God's Word gives an extensive treatment to the subject of widows. Young widows 59 years of age or younger are to be open to the idea of remarriage to a godly, believing spouse. Widows 60 or older who meet the qualifications of Scripture are to be placed on a list by the congregation and its leaders, and be the object of special honor and care by their families first, and then by the congregation at large. Widows are to be known for their good deeds, hospitality, acts of service, faith, love, and prayerfulness. Restrictions: Widows are not to use their newly found freedom from marriage as an excuse to live in wanton pleasure or sin, nor are they to be idle, gossips, busybodies, or people who stir up trouble in the congregation.
Again, God doesn't allow anyone to be single, married, divorced, remarried, or widowed for any reason they want, any time they want. God does regulate the real Christian's life in all facets. Acknowledging and submitting to God's right to rule these areas of our life is part of being the slave of Jesus Christ!

How I look is about how I felt- tired a mess, and ready to get out of the plane. This is us, our last time in the US for a year. This is right before our grand take off to London! Yay! This flight was pretty fun actually. We had a good meal, lots of drinks, and we watched movies, TV shows, listened to music, and took a long nap. We were there before we even knew it!

Output falls in Germany's west
Industrial output in western Germany fell a provisional 2 percent in September after rising 2.2 percent in August, the economics ministry said yesterday.
But the figures are highly volatile, and the ministry said it expects an upward revision of the September data when they are finalized.
Economists do not expect a general economic recovery in western Germany until well into 1994.

Warning: Adult language in the following article
It almost sounds like just another Internet rumor, a concoction cooked up by comic book fans online: writer Keith Giffen on DC Comics' revival of "The Suicide Squad."
Not this time.
"I just finished the first issue," Giffen told the Comic Wire on Wednesday. "It's happening.
"It's launched out of the [summer] annuals. I don't know the exact month," he said. "One or two other books will launch out of this year's annual stunts."
The first reports that Giffen would be bringing the Squad back also competed with reports of who the Squad would feature, none of the stories matching exactly, until one realizes that one squad is the one in the annuals, and the other is the one that Giffen is writing after the story running through the annuals comes to an end.
"It's up to the annual guys to spin their story."
And the annual story belongs to those creators, and "The Suicide Squad" ongoing monthly series belongs to Giffen, and never the twain shall interfere with each other.
"I have to give them a lot of credit, they pretty much gave me a clear playing field other than, here's what you start with, have fun."
Of course, given that Giffen is perhaps best-known for his tongue-in-cheek sitcom tone "Justice League International" series in the early 1990s, some fans are already assuming that his "Suicide Squad" will be along the same lines.
"I don't even think of tone when I start a project," Giffen said. "Each book I've worked on, it's grown its own mood, personality. … But I did a revamp of the ['the Legion of Super-Heroes'] that was anything but funny.
"Each book is pretty much different. … Everyone assumes it's going to be mocking, and tongue-in-cheek, and humorous. No. It's not going to be another remake of JLI. I don't remake. I don't want to go back and say 'JLI, take two.' … At this point, I couldn't tell you what it's going to grow up to be."
Whatever the tone, Giffen has a pretty set idea about what the book will be about, however.
"Same basic idea" as the John Ostrander "Suicide Squad" book from the JLI era. "The same basic 'Dirty Dozen with supervillains' idea," he said. "I hope I'll be able to handle the teams and the missions that they go on in a unique enough way that's not derivative of the old book, or is a slap in the face to it."
And while cabinet secretary Frank Rock — formerly just known as Sgt. Rock to war comics fans — will be in charge of the new Squad, don't think that a fellow cabinet secretary and previous Squad commander won't be showing up in the pages of the book.
"For the record, Amanda Waller is one of my favorite characters. I doubt she's going to be out of the picture very long."
|The new Suicide Squad appeared in this Justice League Annual from 1990 which featured the creation of Justice League Antarctica.
And, as previously reported, Giffen will be using supervillains from his old JLI run in the initial story. And that's about all the spoilers he's willing to give up at this point, more than half a year from the first issue of the new "Suicide Squad" hitting the stands.
Of course, Giffen is under no illusions that the period between now and then will be a honeymoon period. Already online fans are tearing into presumed Giffen "Suicide Squad" ideas and treatments.
"To the people worried about the funny stuff: Lighten the fuck up. They're called 'comic books,'" Giffen said. "For god's sake, I'm just trying to have fun here. They're not real! … I really appreciate the hardcore fan who supports the book and all, but reality check, you know? Reality check."
Of course, he's been down this road before.
"I lived through Legion fandom. I can live through anything."
In more general terms, Giffen does have some plans for the book, based on what he thinks comics ought to be:
"No stories go longer than two issues, ever. Most stories are one issue, beginning, middle and end," he said. "It's two dollars and change a book. I don't want to force people to spend $10 for a story. … I don't want to be the guy screwing kids out of their allowance. Comics are meant to be a 10 minute pop. If you can't tell a 22 page story and get the people out of the fucking room, get out of the business, you're hurting me."
That doesn't mean there won't be ongoing plot threads, "but they're not going to be 'part three of a three part epic.'
"I want to get back to something really radical: Accessible comics. I pick up an issue of X-Men, and I don't know what the hell's going on. You need a master's degree in mutants. For a comic book? No way."
Fans of Giffen's work will be in for a bumper crop in the coming year. Among those he can talk about publicly are his involvement with a horror graphic novel for DC/Vertigo, a "Rose and Thorn" miniseries and handling the art chores on an Andy Helfer scripted eight page black and white Batman story for "Detective Comics."
He's also working on the "Static Shock" animated series, doing storyboards.
"I love it, I love it. It's pure storytelling," Giffen said. Milestone founder "Denys Cowan is my director. They're great people. And unlike the comic business, they're kind of glad you're there."
But to many comic readers, Giffen will be best remembered as the writer who gave the Martian Manhunter an Oreos obsession, had Matter Eater Lad dig up the Batcave a thousand years in the future for a reality television program, created Lobo and had Ambush Bug thoroughly (and repeatedly) humiliate Superman and the whole DC Universe.
"I find comics today very humorless, with a few exceptions," Giffen said. "Comics are so deadly serious now. And yet, when you get a bunch of comic professionals together, these are some funny people. … It doesn't translate to the work. That's something that I don't understand there. There's people out there doing these very serious, grim books, that are the funniest people I know. I'm not saying turn every book into a cavalcade o' laughs. Just lighten up."
And while they're at it, Giffen has some other ways he'd like to change the industry.
"Let's dump continuity. Replace it with consistency," he said. "It just strangles you. It fucking kills ya. … Just make it consistent. The Green Lantern appearing in the crossover is the same one in the monthly book. It's Kyle Rayner. He's got the same personality. … Consistency, not continuity."
As for the green-suited superhero-in-his-own-mind who served as Giffen's surrogate for tearing into the comic industry as a whole, "I would go back to Ambush Bug in a second."
In fact, Giffen said, he's got an idea to bring back A. Bug in the vein of "Candide."
"The only thing that's stopping the bug is demand. So demand it!"

|JSA #23 Preview
Hawkman is coming back. "Back" may not mean exactly what DC Comics fans are expecting, though.
Without giving too much away, in "JSA" #23, the issue in which a character named Hawkman returns to the DC universe, weaves together elements of the Golden Age and Silver Age Hawkman characters, discussing links between the characters in such a way that fans might at first blush think this was just a restating of old bits of the Hawkman legend. Nope, the "JSA" creative team is taking the old and forging something new.
"We like all aspects of the different incarnations of Hawkman," series co-writer Geoff Johns told the Comic Wire on Tuesday, "So we took what we liked and used it the best we could."
Hawkman fans who haven't been reading the new adventures of the Justice Society of America won't need any explanations of who these characters are or what's going on if they pick up the issue to see the Winged Wonder's return.
"It's all explained in #23," Johns said, "Except Hawkgirl is having some personal problems figuring out her place on the JSA."
("Hawkgirl?" out-of-the-loop Hawkman fans might be asking at this point. She too gets explained.)
But while the issue opens with the current Hawkgirl on the planet Thanagar, home of the Silver Age Hawkman, readers shouldn't take that as any indication of who or what this new Hawkman is.
"Yes, the Katar Hol [Silver Age] Hawkman is from Thanagar," Johns said. "OUR new Hawkman is not."
The character will also be joining the JSA after this story, "but his role is not yet clear."
Hawkman fans have waited a long time while the franchise was in limbo, and the first step to the classic character's return is complete, if not yet in the hands of readers.
"After all is said and done we have a great new Hawkman with a simple concept driving the character," Johns said. "It was a blast doing it and you can bet more Hawkman is on the way."

Dear Ms Prisk,
I hope you are well and had a lovely Christmas break. I have been reading your readers' editor column for a while now and I have to say that I think it's the biggest load of self-serving nonsense in the Sydney Morning Herald. And that's saying something, because the SMH publishes regular columns from Paul Sheehan and Gerard Henderson.
Ok, that is a little harsh. Sheehan and Henderson are full of way more self-serving nonsense. But before you dismiss this is as another "embittered online rant" (as SMH journo Ben Cubby did on twitter when I pointed out the lazy journalism in one of his stories), please hear me out.
I am not anti-Fairfax. In fact, I am a subscriber (although I'm not sure how much longer I'll persist with a newspaper in which it is becoming harder and harder to find adequate journalism, let alone good journalism). I read your newspaper every morning. I blog about the SMH because I don't read the Oz or the Tele. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd rather kick myself in the vagina than read News Ltd. Even when I worked there (part-time while studying) I didn't read their newspapers. And when I want a good laugh, I look at their websites.
But I am baffled about this readers' editor gig. You have been the readers' editor for around five months now, and I'm yet to see any evidence of the stated purpose of the role. According to your page on smh.com.au, your role is to be an "in-house advocate for readers" of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun Herald. That sounds great, and I think it's an important role for a news organisation that takes its audience seriously. We are, after all, the people who buy your product. But I'm not convinced Fairfax does take its audience seriously. Fom your columns each week, it's clear that the role is less "in-house advocate for readers" and more "these are the reader letters that weren't good enough for the letters page, so we'll just quote them here without attribution and sometimes I'll say they are wrong but I won't explain why".
Let's look your column from Wednesday: Fast and furious came the bouncers, some quite wide of the mark. You quote unnamed readers complaining about the amount of cricket coverage in the news section, yet offered no explanation of why the editor placed these stories in the news section. Nor did you mention any in-house advocating you did on behalf of the readers. The only thing you wrote that wasn't simply quoting readers was this:
I cannot agree with the criticism of either the headline or the piece… The headline was a play on "fire in the belly", which is screamingly obvious, and Barrett was not glorifying bullying – he was merely reporting what he saw and heard, and what Pattinson said, in neither an approving nor disapproving way.
Riiiight. So this is what you think being an "in-house advocate for readers" means? In no way does your explanation deal with that reader's complaint about the glorification of bullying, and you resorted to your own silencing of that reader by calling the headline's play on words "screamingly obvious". I'm surprised you didn't add "or are you too stupid to get that?". Now, I haven't read the Barrett article (here's a hint for online journos: link to the articles being discussed) so I don't know if it was glorifying bullying or not, but saying that it wasn't glorifying bullying does not make it so. And what's with the attitude in the snide "merely"?
It is clear that the readers' editor column is little more than an opportunity for the Heralds to say their readers are wrong to criticise them. Actually, it's nothing more than that. If I want to know what readers think of your newspaper, I'll look to blogs and twitter and, sometimes, the letters page. If I want to know what the "in-house advocate for readers" is doing to advocate for readers, I certainly won't be reading the readers' editor column.
Yours in hope for better journalism,
News with Nipples.

In a land far, …
In a land far, far away, there lived Eat, Evil Anime Transformer. He had transformed over 5 million people to anime, 2D figures within a year. Your destiny is to help me in defeating Eat, before he turns us into anime. I will tell you the happy and peaceful life that I had.
I lived in Kansas, a small house. It was peaceful, harmless, each day. Farming, all that. But then, one night, my father was reading the headlines of the Kansas Prophet. "The Happy Businessman Has Turned the New Eat". I will tell you the story of Eat, one of my mother's colleagues.
So one day, there was this man who was named Eat, who was a boss of a big company.His nickname was Eat, and it stood for Ecstasy Aloha Tickled Pink [tickled pink is another word for happiness]. His closest friend, Ate, [the same words in a different form], betrayed him unintentionally by creating the game called "Kick the Boss". [It is pretty fun, I gotta say]. So then, one day, Eat changed his nickname to Evil Anime Transformer. One night, the new completely changed Eat broke into Ate's house, wiggled his ears, and then BOOM! Ate suddenly was shaken awake and Eat was left in a swoosh. Ate looked in the mirror, and shrieked. He was 2D! He had big eyes, greasy hair, and all the opposite things he had when he was 3D. So, that's all I know of, it's not that I don't trust you. You're my digital journal, DJ. Now, the journey begins. I will be writing what I have been doing and I am going to take interviews.
My brother, Smellerbee, agreed that he would join me on this trek to Eat, but first, I had to show him that this place was REAL, and the story of Eat is REAL. Oh, little siblings. Gimme a break. I said he can sleep with me when we got back, so he agreed faster than I could even protest.
So when me and Smellerbee were all packed up, I left a note saying: I and Smellerbee are going to put a stop to this idiotic life of Eat. PS. Please don't set out to find us, we have a GPS. Getting tired yet? the action is yet but to come.
We were strolling down the farm road, when an old homeless dude stepped up with a bowl in his hand and a few coins. But the thing is, he was anime. [NOT DONE, STILL IN EDITING, LOT MORE TO GO, STAY TUNED.]

Indian Mutual Fund Industry: Challenges and Future Prospects
India has been the fastest growing markets for mutual fund industry. With progressive liberalization of economic policies, there has been rapid growth of capital market, money market and financial services Industry including merchant banking, leasing and venture capital (Tripathy, 1996). The increasing globalization of financial groups, rapid spread of multinationals and strong excellent performance of equity and bond markets in India has led to the evolution of mutual funds. Now it has evolved from a single player monopoly in 1964 to a fast growing market. To the date assets under management of 38 mutual funds stood at Rs. 7, 47,524.58 crore. Increasing number of mutual funds in the developed financial markets indicate investor's preference for the mode of investment (Huhmann, 2005, Talat AFZA and Ali Rauf, 2006). Mutual funds deploy their funds in marketable instruments. So well developed securities market is pre-requisite for the successful operations of mutual funds.
Origin and Legal Framework of Mutual Funds in India The concept of mutual funds evolved in India in July 1964, when at the initiative of the government of India and the Reserve Bank of India, Unit Trust of India was set up to mobilise the savings of the middle class investors and to invest those funds in the capital market for the much needed industrial growth. As only 1/3 of household savings were at the disposal of the corporate sector, UTI was established to channelize large shares of household savings to productive investment in the corporate sector. Regulatory framework of Indian mutual funds industry matches with the most developed markets of the world. Securities and Exchange Board of India has been introducing several regulatory measures on wide range of issues including the financial capability of players to ensure resilience and sustainability through increase in minimum net worth and capital adequacy, investor protection and education through disclosure norms for more information to investors (KPMG).
We can put mutual fund industry into following four phases
First Phase (1964-1987): The first phase was between 1964 and 1987 when Unit Trust of India (UTI), the only player, was set up in 1963 at the initiative of government of India and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the act of parliament. Since it was set up by the Reserve Bank of India, it functioned under the regulatory and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. Later the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over its control and it was delinked from the Reserve Bank of India in 1978. At the end of 1988 its total assets under management were Rs.6, 700 crores. Second Phase (1987-1993): During second phase public sector entered the Industry. Total of eight funds were established, six by banks and one each by LIC and GIC. State bank of India was the first to set up its mutual fund followed by Canra Bank mutual fund in December 1987, Punjab National Bank mutual fund in august 1989, Indian bank mutual fund in November 1989, Bank of India mutual fund in June 1990 and Bank of Baroda mutual fund in October 1992. The total asset under management had grown to 61,028 crore at the end of 1994. Total number of schemes offered by mutual funds during this period was 167.
Third Phase (1993-2003): During this phase private and foreign sectors mutual funds entered the industry. The Kothari Pioneer was the first private mutual fund to be established. For the first time SEBI came out with comprehensive regulations in 1993 which were revised in 1996. The industry now...

Matt and I have been trying to do a bit more exploring in Chicago. A lot of times it can be difficult to do this since it seems nearly every weekend there is something happening at Lillstreet that I want to participate in. But this weekend we headed south and we went to the Pilsen 2nd Fridays event. WOW. I was really amazed at the quantity of artists who were showing. There were so many fabulous gallery spaces, it just made me drool. I told Matt, if it wasn't for him, I would be moving in to a new space on Saturday. Two of the highlights for me were artists Michele Lauriat who made incredible guash paintings that were nearly 12 feet high. Absolutely stunning. They completely engulfed the viewer, but what mesmerized me was how she layering the paint and the negative space, which felt to me like lapses of memory in recalling a landscape in your mind.
The other person who blew me away was designer Chris Jamison. He founded the workshop, Plywood Office, the work is simple and beatifull crafted. I want two of the Stripe endtables!

Kyouei Design reveals their first work to come out of 2011, the "Reconstruction Chandelier." This Chandelier is made from 12 industrial clip lamps which were welded together, then gilded for finishing. As you will see in one of the pictures below, the original clip lamps used to create the chandelier was one of the creations we saw in 2010.

Kyouei Design is a Japanese design company in Shizuoka City, Japan lead by product designer / sound producer Kouichi Okamoto. They manufacture the products they design including interior, lighting, and various other cleverly designed works.
Kouichi Okamoto was born in 1970 in Shizuoka City, Japan. Under the name "bekkou" Okamoto released the sound source work "Hi Light" from Dutch techno label X-trax in 1997 and other Dutch and British labels since. He began product design work in 2004 and established Kyouei Design company in 2006.
Here are some of my favorite items from Kyouei Design's works made prior to the reconstruction chandelier. Most are still available for purchase on their website.
Top: "Liquid Bookmark" is made one by one with rubber and when used looks like it is melting.
Bottom: "Endless Rain Record" is a real phonograph record which plays rain sounds and the sound of rain drops forever.

What do you do when you only have 15 hours in Beaufort, S.C. (with half of that time asleep)? You just let the day take you where it takes you. . .
Driving in to Beaufort, I was surprised by all of the new commercial development that had sprung up since the last time I was there - so many fast-casual joints now. But keep driving through the you-ve-seen-it-all-before sprawl and you'll get to the unique historic charm and coastal antebellum homes downtown.
Beaufort is the second oldest city in South Carolina (Charleston is first), and is the very definition of lowcountry. The city is surrounded by rivers, swamps and marshes that are made for waterfront living and breezy porch views, mint julep or sweet tea in hand.
During my brief visit on my way up from Savannah to Wilmington, I spent the morning hours on foot, walking around downtown, and fantasizing about living in any of these gorgeous old homes - and taking mental notes of the gardens and "curb appeal" to bring back to Richmond.
If only Palmetto trees could grow in Richmond, life would be perfect. But they don't, so to get that lowcountry-coastal look in RVA, here are my suggestions:
There is obviously plenty more to do in Beaufort than home-touring, all of which you can find here. I didn't get a chance to check out the beaches - I wanted to visit Hunting Island State Park because I keep reading that it's the most popular state park in South Carolina. Must have something going for it if that's so, right? Next time.
If you missed my last two blog posts on my N.C.-S.C.-Ga. road-trip, you can find them here: Charleston + Savannah. Next up: Wilmington.
