Dear Valued Shareholder,
In 2015, the global economy was still not encouraging, so the industry in Indonesia still relied on domestic consumption, especially household consumption to sustain economic growth, despite a slight decline as a result of the depreciation of the rupiah against the US dollar which impacted the increase in prices of essential goods.
In 2015 Indonesia`s economic growth was lower compared with the previous year amounted to only 4.8% which is also accompanied by the rupiah that continued to depreciate. The weakening of the rupiah was in line with weakening currencies of other countries were also characterized by the inflation rate of 3.35% which was the lowest inflation in the last 5 years since 2000.
The domestic economic condition also still could not be expected as a result of demand for exports is likely to decline due to global demand was still poor and falling of commodity prices on the international market.
During 2015, the Company`s financial performance was not very encouraging due to decreasing of world crude oil prices and the cost of raw materials and the weakening of the rupiah against the USD. The company posted net sales decline by 30.8% from USD 449.1 million in 2014 to USD 310.9 million in 2015. The decrease in net sales was caused by the decrease in selling prices in all segments of polyester and ethylene glycol and derivatives. In addition, the Company`s production was also reduced because Tangerang Plant Sites stopped operating.
Based on the segmentation of product sales in 2015 was as follows: polyester USD 99.1 million, down 45.6% from USD 182.2 million in 2014; chemical USD 162.7 million, down 22.8% from USD 210.7 million in 2014; and nylon yarn USD 49.0 million, down 12.8% from USD 56.2 million in 2014.
Based on the market, sales in 2015 was as follows: local sales of USD 268.8 million, down 30.5% from USD 386.8 million in 2014; and export sales of USD 42.1 million or a decrease of 32.5% from USD 62.4 million. The export markets cover countries of Asia, Europe, Australia, and the United States.
Fluctuations in prices of raw materials and crude oil prices were not accompanied by fluctuations in selling prices proportionately; causing the Company recorded a gross loss of USD 15.6 million in 2014, wherein gross loss of USD 15.0 million in 2015 or decreased by 3.8%. Meanwhile, the company`s cost of goods sold decreased from USD 464.7 million in 2014 to USD 325.8 million in 2015. It was decreased by USD 138.9 million or a decrease of 29.9%.
For the current year, the Company posted a net loss of USD 24.2 million in 2015 and a net loss of USD 24.3 million in 2014.
With the progress of such financial condition, the Company was trying to retain and even continued to improve operating performance in line with the demands of the market demand both domestically and internationally.
In 2015, although the Company faced financial conditions that more difficult than the previous year, the Company remained commit to give its best effort, by meeting market demand and producing products that also provide benefits for the Company.
For 2016, the Company has programs namely:
- Implement the catalyst changing by using "high selectivity catalyst" in the MEG, Merak Plant Sites which enables to increase the efficiency of raw material of ethylene usage and to produce more competitive products so as to increase the value of sales.
- Using Methane as ballast or supporters of the reaction system that can optimize catalyst performance as an effort to save raw material of ethylene consumption.
- Debottleneck for MEG Plant as an effort to increase capacity from 216,000 tons to 246,000 tons per year.
- Replace the cooling system at the Polyester Plant area by using the "humidity build up" as efficiency efforts of power consumption.
Thus, we are optimistic that the Company will be able to make efforts for the progress of the Company. We are fully aware that the company`s success can be achieved with fixed focus and utilization of human resources, asset management efficiently, and maintain good relationships with customers and suppliers that also provide a solid base in the company in exploring potential markets.
In closing, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to all employees, business partners, creditors and shareholders for the consistent support over the years. Without this, we are unlikely to achieve a result like today.
We believe with the support, confidence and their ongoing dedication we will continue to grow and develop both operationally and financially in the future.
Thank you.

Arsenal Vs Manchester United Highlights and Recap Video
Arsenal Vs Manchester United Highlights: Arsene Wenger has again proved Jose Mourinho that he can beat him as his side Arsenal beat Manchester United by 2-0. This win makes a huge dent in the Manchester United hopes of qualifying for the champions league next season. On the other hand, Arsenal has kept their hopes alive with this win. This win gives them three crucial points which saw them move to the sixth position.
They are now 2 points behind the Jose Mourinho side Manchester United who are placed at 5th position. But, Arsenal has still one game in hand and could easily get past Manchester United. There are four teams that are fighting for the two position for the next year's champions league qualification.
Currently, Liverpool and Manchester City are favourite to go through to the next year's champions league but anything could happen in the next few matches.
The match started in a slow fashion as both the team looked to get settled in the match fist. Both the team was aware that they need to defend well and they did exactly that. They focused more on their defence and tried to catch the other team in the counter-attack. The first half ended at 0-0.
In the second half, Arsenal increased their speed and showed some brilliant passing skills that took the Manchester United players by surprise. There was few quick attack on the United goal right from the start of the second half that put United's players under some pressure and forced them to make some silly mistakes.
Arsenal managed to capitalise on this momentum as Granit Xhaka scored just 10 minutes passed in the second half of the game. It could be said as the lucky goal for Arsenal as the ball took the deflection off Ander Herrera's back that gave no chance for the United goalkeeper David de Gea.
United players were looking to come back in the match but Arsenal had some other ideas. Just a couple of minutes later, Arsenal struck again. Danny Welbeck slotted a beautiful header to score against his former club. It was a brilliant cross from the Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain that gave no chance for the goalkeeper and defends to stop the goal. This goal saw Arsenal taking a 2-0 advantage in the first 15 minutes of the match.
Arsenal did not lose the momentum and they continued to play in the similar fashion and gave no chance to the opponents. This win is very crucial for the Arsenal side as they need to win all their remaining games if they want to play in the next year's champions league.

Timor-Leste, or East Timor, is the youngest country in the Asia-Pacific. It is a beautiful, vivid place that has made leaps and bounds towards a range of development goals – but it remains one of the poorest countries in our region.
People with disabilities face particular challenges in Timor. A generation of powerful advocates is working to level the playing field, and disability is increasingly seen as a priority across all development sectors. Nevertheless, a range of social, environmental and attitudinal barriers still prevent the full enjoyment of many people's basic human rights.
Naroman ba Futuru is helping to break down these barriers to inclusion. We're working for equal opportunities, respect for human rights, and ultimately, a better world.

Playing with Bister Powders
Today I was playing with some Bister powders that I've had for ages ... I think over a year!! Yep, they have been patiently waiting for me. :) My friend Christine, picked them up in the UK when she was there. They come in small resealable bags, so I found it hard to get out just a little to sprinkle on my card front. Found some plastic containers (similar to the brushos pots) and spent last night putting them into the new containers, labeling, and adding a colour swatch (on watercolour paper with sticky backing) on top along with piercing a hole so the powders could easily be sprinkled. The push pin holds everything in place and I can just pull it out and sprinkle easily. Here's a pic of my containers ...
The colours are very muted compared to Brusho or Color Burst powders. And they all contain a bit of walnut in with each of the colours, so they have very earthy tones. LOVE them. And perfect for creating a masculine card. I simply sprinkled two colours (green and natural) over my fern stencil onto mixed media paper, spritzed with lots of water and quickly removed the stencil. I got a very clean image. Added a simple tone-on-tone stamped sentiment banner to finish.
Stamps: Fun Birthday Sentiments (HLS)
Paper: Mixed Media (Strathmore 140 lb.); Soft Suede (SU!)
Ink: Bister Powders: Green, Natural; Soft Suede (SU!)
Accessories & Tools: Fern stencil made with my Silhouette Cameo, water mister

Love that fern leaf, a really fab masculine card. :)ReplyDelete
So fabulous, Loll! Your Bister powders are perfect for this fern...I love the muted colors and crisp, clean image! You are rockin' the masculine cards, my friend...LOVE this card!!!ReplyDelete
this is so pretty and i love that they are softer colors than the brushos - might have to have my son send me some as he lives in london!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful effect Loll. I couldn't source bister here so I got infusions that also have the walnut in them. Love how these look with the stencil, Cathy xReplyDelete
Awesome end result! You do so well with stencils and water - me, not so muchReplyDelete

Hi Elaine. The push pins in the top are just regular push pins you get from an office supply store. I used my piercing tool to pierce a hole through the colour swatch and lid of the container. The push pin just keep everything inside in case I knock over the container. Loll :)Delete

Beautiful card Loll! Love the look of those Bisters - the muted colours look gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Di xx
OK my friend...you are making me put Bister's on my wishlist. I LOVE the earthy tones you used and the clean stenciled fern image. Perfect sentiment designs too. A really awesome nature loving guy or girl card. TFS Loll. Hugs.. P.S. cool the way you repackaged the Bisters. TFS photo.ReplyDelete
Love these colors and that gorgeous fern, Loll! Another awesome masculine card!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous, gorgeous....was all set to go out and get that stencil till I realized you'd cut it on your Cameo. The combination of that fern and the Bister powders is perfect! Just an idea, for my Brusho's I did exactly what you did, except I used colored push pins along with my color swatches. That way I can tell at a glance which are in which color family, then check the swatch for the exact color blue, red etc. I want. Just speeds it up a bit! Because I don't say it nearly often enough, love your work and look forward to each new project landing in my in-box. THANK YOUReplyDelete
Loll, so glad you finally pulled the bister out:) There is definitely something different with bister, those earthy tones are so beautiful. Love the stencil and the CAS design. Hugs ChristineReplyDelete
That is a lovely earthy shade, Lolly, and I love anything ferny! Very clever of you to set them up so they are easy to use like the Brushos. Can't wait to see what happens when you combine Bisters and Brushos ...!! Hugs, DollyReplyDelete
OH do I love this! I favor earth tones and this turned out beautifully, Loll. How strange that your Bisters came in bags. Mine came in pots.ReplyDelete
Wow, I do so love ferns. Beautiful. And the bisters are so muted and calming...for lack of a better explanation of how I see them. Love what you do and am always inspired to try new things. Now, do I need a Silhouette Cameo? HmmmmmReplyDelete
Love the bister colour combination - perfect for a masculine card. And good for you, getting them organized in the little pots.ReplyDelete
Fabulous card Loll - love the colours, just perfect for a masculine card.ReplyDelete
I do love this fern stencil and what a gorgeous result with the Bister. Enjoy your weekend hun xxReplyDelete
Loving the earthy colour effect here - a nice change from the brightness of some of the other powders available.ReplyDelete
Gosh, that's a stencil?, I thought it was a stamp, it is VERY beautiful and I LOVE the earthy tone. Not into stamping and the like, but must look those "powders" up. A Lovely card.ReplyDelete
Wow...those colors blended wonderfully. Great masculine card. I, too, like those earthy colors. Have fun with your goodies. Great storage idea, too! :)ReplyDelete
I love the touch of walnut on the beautiful green shade. Those colors made a realistic looking fern. Great card.ReplyDelete
Love the design of this card, Loll, and the fabulous earthy color combo - great masculine card!!ReplyDelete
I have done the same Loll with my bistre's....spooky or what? The only containers I found that fitted the bill had hair grips in them. There where two young girls stood beside me wanting to buy the hair grips....so.....I bought them and then emptied the hair grips out for them outside the shop! 8 tubs of hair grips amounted to lots!!! Ended up being quite costly but I felt good about it and got what I wanted! I love the bistre's, as I like the brown in them, very different colours to the brusho's, as you say and equally as good just different. Great for vintage/mens cards. You've achieved a great effect through the stencil and the colours are fabulous. Thank you for sharing this beauty xReplyDelete
Beautiful card Loll and I LOVE the earth tone colors!! Will definitely have to check those out!! :0)ReplyDelete
Lovely cards and I guess I should play again with the messy brushos. Hope you are feeling great.ReplyDelete
Wow Loll, I so the stencil you used and I am loving those bister powders you used as well. They really do have an earthy quality about them and I love the look! So beautiful is your masculine card! If a masculine card can be beautiful that is. lol Hugs, BrendaReplyDelete
Great layout and your frond looks amazing! Great guy card.ReplyDelete
I can't believe how clean the frond came out with such a messy technique! You are a real pro at this! It looks awesome! I thought the Bisters were just like the Brushos or Color Bursts but I can see that they are more toned down and perfect for masculine or nature cards. Please don't make me want them, too...ReplyDelete
This is striking and calm all at the same time, Loll ... the image is fabulous and those natural colours have blended beautifully! Gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)ReplyDelete
Spectacular effect! You are a master of work with stencil and brushos. Great color mixing effect resulting in this extraordinary fern leaf. Stunning card.ReplyDelete
BożenA xoxo
Beautiful! Your storage idea is great...ReplyDelete

The world is back to normal, and everyone that doesn't live here have gone home to theirs, where they'll await for the next point of the agenda of this time of year. New Year's Eve. But they won't be doing that one here. For us, it's party time.
The dogs always become so exited when Mark's parents come over, and this time was not any different. Watson spent most of the holiday at Mark's mother's feet, begging for treats. He knows he won't get any from us, so he found someone more susceptible to his most pitiful begging looks.
Now that both sets of parents have gone, Watson have spent a little while sniffing for them. But he couldn't find them, and have now returned to normal. Which means jumping up the stairs on his stubby little legs to make noises outside the office door. I wouldn't say he barks. Instead it's a 'rorwff' on the quiet. Insistent-like, but measured. Not the tirade he reserves for the mailman.
Mark pulled off the family dinner with full marks. I don't think I've ever eaten as much. Or at least not since last Christmas. We still had left-overs yesterday and the day before. I can now officially say, I don't want any more Christmas food. Just normal things.
But Mark did make Christmas ham, and he did it proper. He bought ham, put it in brine for five days in the fridge, and then cooked it for eight hours on low heat, and then finished it off with a quick grilling. It was really good. Much better than the half-finished stuff they sell in the supermarkets in Sweden.
He also made an awful amount of Mince Pies, which i have eaten in large quantities these last few days because they're muffin sized, and I can just stuff them in… On the negative side, he also made Christmas pudding. I didn't eat that, as usual, but had to suffer the sight of the others tucking into it. Why? How on Earth can people eat that? I'll never know.
Mark had an inch-thick folder with recipes and plans for this holiday, as is his habit for everything. Sometimes I am surprised that he doesn't plan the exact feet-movement for the perfect efficiency in grocery shopping. It's cute, in a way. Annoying, in another. Funny when you think back on it, but exasperating when he's rushing about and try to stress me to do his elaborate plan too.
I don't want to see another Mince Pie, slice of ham, ribs, or cookies for the rest of my life by now. And I have to look forward to the 3000 mile run I'll have to do to get rid of all the calories I've stuffed into myself. Well, at least before the New Year when we eat more, and drink more, but at least that will be with friends and we can sweat on the dance floor because New Year will be a party night for us.
Time to behave like proper students, and not pretend home-sitters. Right? I only have three months left of being a teenager. Time to finally start to behave like one. I think I've failed so bad at being one that I must compensate during these last few wavering days of the teenage years. Don't judge me.

When we got the OK from our pediatrician to start solids at 4 months, we got some inexpensive chairs that strap to our existing kitchen chairs. They worked great for the purpose, and they will be a fantastic addition when we are at The Grandmas' houses. I am thrilled, however, to now be able to upgrade to a full-sized high chair. After looking at tons of reviews online, we came up with some criteria:
1. Easy to clean
2. Straps in baby
3. T-bar that goes between legs and is attached to the chair itself
4. Tray goes right up to baby's belly
5. Tilts back for younger babies
When Lindsey asked me if I wanted to review the Bentwood by Summer Infant, I jumped at the opportunity, as I am already a huge fan of this brand (we love their swaddle line, cloud blanket, adult bath seat, bottle feeding pillow, and activity support chair).
After just installing a few screws during a very abbreviated nap time (that's how quick it was), the chair was ready to go!
First Impressions:
- Shoulder straps adjust without extra hanging down (for the babies to pick up and chew on).
- Seems to be comfortable for Baby
- Great belt strap with adjustable button (easier to lock in place and loosen)
- Beautiful wood color and design
- Soft and comfortable padding on seat and chair back with great color choices
- Adorable infant insert
- Easy-to-adjust chair back to 3 posture positions
- Easy buttons to adjust chair up and down in 4 positions and fold up for storage
- Snack tray stays on chair until the chair will be used as a child's seat
- Large tray with additional snap-on tray is easy to click on (one-handed or two-handed) and can adjust to 4 positions.
- Tray stores on the back of the legs
- Easy to change the padding if dirty
- Difficult to get Baby into the chair (snack tray must always be on)
- Can only be strapped in with a 5-point harness
- Need to pick it up with two hands (or else you will readjust the chair height)
- Back padding get dirty easily when Baby turns her head
- Seat padding bunches up if Baby struggles to get in or out of the seat
Here are some thoughts, compared to my original "must have" list:
1. Easy to clean
I never thought that I would want to have a chair with fabric padding, but it is so easy to get on and off, that if we really needed to clean them in the wash, it wouldn't be a problem. For now, however, spot-cleaning works great! The wood legs, seat, and back and the plastic trays are also so easy to keep clean. The main trays can go in the dishwasher as well.
2. Straps in baby
We can strap in the babies for now, but because of the snack tray, I can imagine that there will come a time that we won't need to use the straps. Thankfully, they are easy to remove (also handy for if they need a deeper cleaning).
3. T-bar that goes between legs and is attached to the chair itself
The t-bar is attached to the snack tray, which is attached to the high chair (at least for now). When the kids get old enough to use this chair as a regular seat around the table, we can remove the snack try and straps and we won't have the t-bar anymore. Although it would be better if the t-bar was completely separated (to make it easier to get the child in and out), this design works ok. Out of everything, this is the one thing that I truly don't like about the chair's design.
4. Tray goes right up to baby's belly
With 4 positions for the tray, it really has the ability to go right up to Baby's belly (but not uncomfortably so).
5. Tilts back for younger babies
Although this isn't really a requirement anymore, it is nice that this chair does have this feature. Audrey and David still don't like to sit up as tall as the first position. We currently have it right in the middle, but it is nice that we could recline even further if needed.
Yes, we really do love this chair. After using it for about 2 weeks, we purchased a second one so that we could have two of them! Now the twins have the same chair (just with different color padding).

Trouble At Sea
This review is for both the book and the audio as I have both and switched back and forth. I love Deanna's books. I was overjoyed to hear what Kane and Jade have up their sleeve for the future. Can't tell! Don't want to spoil it. But I do have to say, I was so delighted to see that Ida Mae got to be solid long enough to taste a drink. She is the funniest thing. I was laughing at her through the whole book. And she played a bigger part in this book. The narrator is wonderful. The reason I rated four stars instead of five is because at the end I felt like the last few chapters drug on too long to get the story out. Her books usually move at a faster pace. It wasn't bad enough that I wouldn't recommend it though. I would even listen/read it again.

I was so happy when I discovered that Naomi would come and stay over with the dogs in their own home as it seemed like the perfect way to maintain their routine and enable me to go away for a few days. I found the whole experience so stress free. The dogs loved Naomi on first sight and I knew I could trust Naomi to intuit all the daily arisings of home and dogs in my absence. I returned home to two happy dogs and a warm homecoming from Naomi who inspires confidence with her gentle intelligent approach.I now know that it is possible to consider days away or trips abroad again knowing that Naomi can step and
provide all the love and care that everyone wishes for their dogs in their absence.
Marjorie Bloch – Belfast
Naomi is our Dog Walker. She comes faithfully at the same time everyday to walk our beloved Springer Spainiel called "Ella". We knew that Ella is in very safe hands. She looks forward to seeing Naomi, who has a great bond with her. We are so very lucky.
Nicole – Jordanstown
There are many reasons that I chose Naomi to look after my beloved Labradoodles in my own home. Firstly my doggies are not disrupted bybeing moved to kennels.Their routines stay the same. Naomi ensures that their diet is maintained and has used her excellent knowledge in canine nutrition to create specific eating plans which my dogs are really happy with and it shows in their coats, eyes and vitality. Harry & Lola are the most energetic pair and need long walks everyday. Naomi takes them out twice a day regardless of the weather. They go to the beach, the park, up the mountains and I can rest assured that they are in safe and experienced hands. Having some one stay in your home when you are not present may at first seem a little strange but it'd great to know that not only are your dogs being taken care of but your home is also. We'd never even know Naomi had been there except from our doggies smiley faces! We would never use kennels again now that Naomi has provided her invaluable pet house sitting service. Harry & Lola would fully agree!
Lisa McBride – Belfast
Naomi has been walking Honey for some months now and I would be lost without her. She is kind, reliable and completely trustworthy which allows me to focus on work 100% and let them get on with it during the day. Honey is a lurcher cross rescue dog and has on occasion been a bit of a handful to settle down and socialise but with Naomi's patience and resourcefulness she is coming along leaps and bounds. She has introduced Honey to the Healthy Paws food range and this has helped reduce some of the hyperactivity that she displayed before and I don't have to mix in other 'tasty' foods to get her to eat it! I would have no hesitation in recommending Naomi for the work that she does and the peace of mind it gives; she is an intelligent, professional and pleasant person to have around!
Audrey Worthington – Belfast
Naomi has looked after my 3 dogs (2 lovely but tired 14yr old Miniature Schnauzers and on very active 4 yr old Staffordshire Bull Terrier) On several occasions. She walks my dogs early in the morning and again in the evening very much according to their needs. This has allowed me to travel out of the country knowing that thery are happy and well looked after. Prior to meeting Naomi I had always put my dogs in kennels. However now, going away and knowing the dogs routine hasn't changed and they are still at home removes any worry, particularly for my older dogs. They definitely thrive in Naomi's care and are glad to see her on her return. Naomi has also been attentive in giving medication and attending to any health problems that may arise. My Schnauzers had sore eyes and she bathed them daily while I was away. Following Naomi's advise I have put my dogs onto Healthy Paws holistic dog food. This agrees with them well. My Schnauzers suffered from pancreatitis but since starting Healthy Paws they not had any further problems. I would highly recommend Naomi. We book her well in advance for every main holiday/weekend trips away.
Delia Keeling – Belfast
Coming home to find a very happy and tired dog and an organised house, makes an incrediable difference to our lives. Naomi is reliable, trustworthy, flexible, sensible and enthusiastic. My dog/cat/horse all adore her…….
Dr Katherine Maclurg
Miya has been in Naomi's capable hands on numerous occasions, and now looks forward to her next Pet Sitting visit.
Entrusting Naomi with my dog has never been an issue, as you know instantly how caring and genuine Naomi is. Thankfully Naomi has not been put of by Miya's antics, as any Husky owner will know how demanding a breed they are.
Mark – Belfast
Brilliant products after looking everywhere in the uk, I have found the best possable product on the market at a value lower than anything I used to buy from the pet supermarket! Now I can spend a little more on treating my lovely german shepherd dog.
Sultana Zafar
Having tried other premium brands I have to say that the product gives consistently better results with my dogs. My Golden Retriever and Chocolate Lab are in top condition and are their own advertisement for your food. On their behalf thanks for a great product.
Ian Carrington
My dog loves the natural treats! She is 11, but has the energy and vitality of a 4 year old, and I feel happier because I know I'm not feeding her junk, but something healthy that she enjoys.
Sylvia Groves
My Golden Retriever suffers with a sensitive stomach, and after trying various brands of dog treats at last I have come across a range of holistic dog treats. I noticed a vast improvement in the consistency of his stools and with not as much waste and also in himself – he looks a lot healthier and happier. I would certainly recommend these products.
We are so pleased with this product. Our Springer had been causing us some concern and we had been advised to change his diet. Having been on a well known treats all his life we were sceptical but hey he is a different dog. Coat is wonderful, he is more energetic, is finally losing weight and the concerns we had have passed. Thank you so much. Can't thank you enough! We have recommended the treats to other people who have had been having problems with their dogs and all feel the same. Brilliant! Wish we had known about this before.

|Sir, N'Gulu spotted! How many of them!? All of them sir!
This was the only the second game I played using these rules, the first was an utter rout for the British, every time the British fired they missed the Zulu, which are ferocious, and ferocious units move forward, or if close enough charge when fired upon and missed, regardless of how badly they fail.
Since I posted the AAR, the following rule has been clarified.
RECEIVED A CASUALTY: Each time a unit or band takes one or more casualties, regardless of reason, they must take the Received Casualty Crisis Test.I thought it meant when a unit took one or more casualties it checks morale once regardless of how many figures it lost, but it actually means it checks morale for every figure it loses, so if unit loses 2 figures it checks twice.
I wish this clarification had come three years ago! I might have to dust off these rules and try them again. Any way enough babbling onto the action...

The National Sleep Foundation has released new recommendations for sleep times. How much sleep you need depends on your age. Find out how much you need!
To create the new guidelines, the National Sleep Foundation gathered a panel of experts in the science of sleep as well as anatomy and physiology, pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Sleep Health: The Official Journal of the National Sleep Foundation.
Sleep deprivation comes with a slew of health concerns. Living with sleep debt can cause anxiety, depression, and even increase your risks for breast cancer and heart disease. Getting too much sleep may be just as bad as getting too little, however. Sleeping more than 10 hours a night has increased risk of obesity, stroke, diabetes, and poor mental health.
When it comes to kids, sleep ranges are a whole different story. Those growing bodies and developing brains need a lot more rest than we do. You'll see that newborns need around twice as much sleep as adults, and that amount tapers as they get older.
The changes to sleep recommendations focused on children and teens, and the panel added two new age categories based on findings about sleep needs: Younger Adults and Older Adults. They narrowed and widened the sleep ranges for newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school age children, and teenagers. The only sleep range that didn't change was for adults ages 26-64. Here the new recommendations:
Age Sleep Recommendation
Newborns 0-3 mo. 14-17 hrs
Infants 4-11 mo. 12-15 hrs
Toddlers 1-2 yrs. 11-14 hrs
Preschoolers 3-5 yrs. 10-13 hrs
School Age Kids 6-13 yrs. 9-11 hrs
Teenagers 14-17 yrs. 8-10 hrs
Younger Adults 18-25 yrs. 7-9 hrs
Adults 26-64 yrs. 7-9 hrs
Older Adults 65+ yrs. 7-8 hrs

HHFC#10: Halloween Quiet? I figured it would be a big ol' vamp scareapalooza. ~ Xander in Halloween, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Shattered Vows
There wasn't another day during the year that turned on Lucky Spencer more than Halloween. He loved the utter abandon that must women allowed themselves to fall prey to. The costumes they wore provided an opportunity to let their inner seductress loose, their normal reservations melting away under the excuse that it was just dress up and that it didn't mean anything. And, then, when those scantily clad women, masquerading as naughty nurses, sex kittens, crooked lady cops, and, of course, raunchy vampires, gathered at a party or at a dance club, their inhibitions on the dance floor simply disappeared, their bodies grinding more sensuously to the gyrating music than they would during any other occasion. To enjoy the wanton display of sexuality properly, the cadet merely sat back languidly in a dark booth, his voyeuristic approach to the holiday fading unnoticed into the hazy, shadowed background.
However, there was just one blemish upon the otherwise perfect day, and that was his fiancée.
For her own reasons, reasons Lucky mentally understood and felt were validated, Elizabeth didn't enjoy the holiday he loved so much. Ruined for her as a child because her parents always forgot her birthday, even as an adult she couldn't find pleasure out of the pageantry of All Hallows Eve. She hated to be physically on display, her body almost always covered up when in public, and, despite the fact that she would give up control when they were alone together, she was still uncomfortable with the rest of the world seeing her as a sexual being with needs and desires just like everyone else.
Part of that discomfort stemmed from the fact that she had been raped as a teenager, and, while he hated the fact that the woman he loved had been hurt like that, Lucky also knew that the experience held the brunette beauty back. It kept her from fully expressing herself, even, sometimes, with him, and it also made her fear her own body and its reactions. There were moments, though, where he found himself watching her, when it seemed as if she almost forgot the horrific violation that had been visited upon her, mainly when she was entirely lost and distracted by a painting she was working on, and it was then, during those moments, when he feared she would one day realize that she was no longer a victim. When that happened, he knew his fiancée would have an epiphany, and all her previous reservations and inhibitions would disappear.
She would start to express her sexuality physically by wearing more makeup, by dressing in a more provocative way, by moving in a more luxurious display of femininity. And, inevitably, she would become curious, curious about things she hadn't experienced before, curious about herself and her own body, and, most frighteningly of all, curious about other men. Because of how long they had been together and because of her reservations, Elizabeth had been with only him, and, though his male pride appreciated the fact that she was his and only his, Lucky also feared that fact.
They were getting married in just a few short months, and, as he slouched in his booth, greedily drinking in the licentious female bodies dancing before him, the police cadet realized that he would rather his fiancée got her experimentation and inquisitiveness towards other men out of her system before his ring was upon her finger. With that thought in mind, he stood, eager to find the woman he loved, for, even though she hadn't come to the realization yet that she did need to be with, at least, one other person before she permanently settled down with him, Lucky knew the fact to be true, and he was going to make sure that she did exactly what was needed, even if he had to go so far as to pick out the other man for her.
In fact, he realized as he wandered around the stiflingly sticky club, it would probably be better if he did choose her partner for her, because, that way, he would also be able to control the outcome. While he might want Elizabeth to enter into their marriage with more experience, he did not want nor need, for that matter, the man she experimented with to one up him in the bedroom. He needed to find someone who wouldn't be as romantic, who wouldn't treat her like a queen and worship from her body, someone who was rather dense and quiet and would refuse to indulge the young artist in her habit of conversation after sex. He needed someone for her who was crude, simplistic, a total and complete guy in every negative connotation of the word. He needed…
… Jason Morgan, the man who was currently chatting up his fiancée, completely unaware of the fact that his attempted seduction of the brunette was falling right into Lucky Spencer's hands.
Standing back far enough that he could still eavesdrop on their conversation without giving away his presence until he was ready, the cop in training listened in while the woman he loved chatted completely at ease with Port Charles' most notorious criminal. Looking at Elizabeth objectively, he was surprised to see just how relaxed her posture and body language were in the hitman's presence. Hell, she was even smiling up at the older man.
"You don't remember me, do you, Mr. Morgan?"
"It's Jason," the enforcer corrected immediately, and Lucky found himself rolling his eyes at the blonde's obvious flirtation. "And I'm sorry, but I don't. Why don't you remind me, give me a hint or two."
"Alright," his fiancée agreed, laughing softly. "It was quite a few years ago. In fact, I was still in school."
"No," she corrected the mafia man, "high school. Anyway, I was with my fiancé, then boyfriend, at the old boxcar, and you came to see him…" As her words trailed off, Jason Morgan simply continued to stare at her, greedily taking in her rather conservative appearance as though her librarian costume was the sexiest thing he had seen in years, causing Lucky to scoff. The guy was such a sick fuck. He couldn't believe they were once friends, let alone that he had actually worked for him, admired him. Things had certainly changed over the years.
Recapturing his attention, the woman he loved spoke again, "I guess that doesn't ring any bells." Holding her hand out to shake the hitman's, she introduced herself, "I'm Elizabeth Webber."
As the blonde shook her petite hand, holding onto her for much longer than he needed to or than what was commonly deemed polite or proper, he teased, "are you sure we actually met before? I would be really disappointed in myself if I forgot you, Elizabeth."
She shrugged, smiling once again. "Maybe I've just changed a lot."
"Grown up," the enforcer supplied, leaning, in the cadet's opinion, lewdly towards the blue eyed brunette, almost to the point where their two bodies were pressed together. Honestly, Lucky was surprised that his fiancée didn't object to the older man's forward advances. "Matured," Jason continued. "Became a woman rather than just a little girl."
On a whisper, the artist replied, "something like that, I guess."
And that's when Lucky felt it was time to step in. "Well, would you look at this," he drawled out, amused when Elizabeth jumped back from the hitman as if she had suddenly been scalded. "Morgan, are you trying to pick up my fiancée?"
"It wasn't like that," the woman he loved defended. "Jason and I were just talking… about the past."
"Oh, so it's Jason, huh," he questioned, smirking at her deer caught in headlights expression. "I didn't realize that the you two were on a first name basis with each other."
"Look, nothing happened, Lucky, and, even if Mr. Morgan was interested and had been trying to pick me up, which he wasn't, that wouldn't matter, because I would never…"
"I was."
Blanching visibly, Elizabeth turned to face the enforcer. "I… you… what?"
"It's not a difficult concept," Lucky taunted her. "He wanted you."
"But that's crazy," his fiancée argued. "Why would he…" She turned to face Jason. "Why would you want me when there are a hundred other women here tonight more experienced, more beautiful, and definitely more available than I am?"
The blonde shrugged noncommittally. "Does there have to be a reason? I wanted you, so I went after you. How was I supposed to know that you were engaged to Spencer here? You don't have a ring on."
"Lucky's going through the police academy," the woman he loved excused. "We couldn't afford a ring right now."
Embarrassed, he yelled, "Elizabeth!"
Looking contrite, she simply stopped talking.
"I see," the mafia man stated, eyeing the cadet as if he was something he had scraped off the bottom of his motorcycle boot. "It was nice meeting… seeing you again, Elizabeth." With that, the hitman went to leave, but, before he could walk away, Lucky stopped him.
"Jason, wait." Although the blonde turned back around, he said nothing, waiting for the younger man to state his peace. "So, you want my fiancée; you want to fuck her?"
"Lucky, please," the woman he loved practically begged him to stop. He could hear the humiliation in her voice, the discomfort, the shame, but he ignored her protests.
"You have one night," he offered, spreading his hands out in a take it or leave it fashion. "One night and then she comes back to me. For good."
"Lucky, what are you doing," Elizabeth whispered, tears obvious in her tone.
Disregarding her, he repeated himself. "One night, Morgan." And, with that, he turned around, walked away, and disappeared into the sweaty, seductive crowd.
They had ridden around on Jason's bike for hours after he had convinced her to leave the club with him. Hurt, confused, and angry, Elizabeth had been unsure of what she should do, let alone what she wanted to do. She felt dirty, as though she was just some piece of meat meant to be passed around from one man to another, she felt ashamed, but, most disturbingly of all, she felt utterly and completely betrayed by the one person in the world whom she had believed was always and would always be on her side.
Standing together at an abandoned bridge in the middle of nowhere, the enforcer beside her quietly asked, "do you want to talk about it?"
"No," she bit out quickly, harshly, but, before the word was completely free of her swollen lips, the brunette found herself continuing. "I just don't understand why Lucky did that. We're supposed to be getting married in a few months, he says that he loves me, that he'll always love me, and I love him."
Thoughtfully, Jason asked, "how long have the two of you been together?"
"For… forever," she breathed out, trying desperately to remain in control. "Since we were still kids, teenagers. Lucky, he… he rescued me when I was fifteen after I had been raped." Before she pressed on with the story, Elizabeth gave the hitman a moment to adjust to her revelation, and, by the increased rate of his breathing, she knew her statement had hit him hard, that he had been angered by the painful disclosure. "Eventually, after he put me back together, piece by piece, we started dating, and, other than when he was kidnapped and brainwashed, we've been together ever since."
"Maybe he's afraid that one day you'll wake up, realize you're bored, and that you'll seek out someone else, simply because you've never had that experience before."
"That's insane," the artist objected, sounding annoyed all over again. "When you love someone with your whole heart, you don't get bored, and you don't doubt your partner's sincerity or their feelings for you either."
"I agree."
Rocking back on her heels, the brunette turned to face the older man. "You do?"
Whispering, Jason said, "I do."
"So, now what," Elizabeth wanted to know, watching him imploringly with her wide open and vulnerable gaze. Swallowing thickly, she forced herself to ask, "you have one night, per Lucky's request… or order, depending upon how you look at it, so what are you going to do with me?"
"Nothing," the mafia man answered succinctly. Reading the confusion marring her face, he expanded. "If we're ever together like that, Elizabeth, if I ever do get to be with you, it's not going to be because some punk ass kid told us to sleep together, and you're certainly not going to be scared, and confused, and upset. If I ever make love to you, it's going to be because you're with me at that point and because we're in love with each other. As for tonight," Jason shrugged, grinning. "We can do anything you want."
"Anything," she asked mischievously, grinning crookedly.
"Despite the fact that I think I just landed myself in a whole world of trouble, yes," the hitman agreed, shaking his head in disbelief. "Anything."
Jumping up and down, the artist clapped her hands together, already running towards the parked bike. "I want to drive your motorcycle."
"Wait, Elizabeth, no," Jason argued, chasing after her. "Anything but that."
But it was too late, and she knew he would give in and allow her to steer the monster of a Harley he cherished so much. She realized then, in that moment, that Jason Morgan really was a man who would do anything for someone he cared about, and, while there were things waiting for her just hours away – confronting her fiancé, ending their engagement, and figuring out what her next step would be, for as long as the night lasted, she was going to enjoy the enforcer's attention and companionship, and, if he would allow her to and she really believed he would, she was going to return his unspoken offer of friendship.
It certainly hadn't been the Halloween night she had been expecting, but it also could have been much worse.

As adults, we often hear that it's "never too late" to make positive lifestyle changes, and while that sentiment IS true, it is also true that starting early in life doesn't hurt either!
Research shows that there are many benefits to being active as children. Active children are more likely to mature into physically active adults, they have a reduced risk of obesity, increased cardiovascular fitness, improved coordination and balance, better sleep, and improved social skills. Some studies, most notably a large-scale study of almost 12,000 Nebraska schoolchildren published in August in The Journal of Pediatrics[1], also suggest that physical fitness in children is linked to success in school, a corollary benefit that may be overlooked by those looking to reduce physical education funding for schools and other related programs.
Beside the numerous mental and physical benefits of being physically active, working out together provides great opportunities for strengthening relationships and bonding between family members. Lately, this has been evident to me in my work with two new community members at Blitz, Nishawn & Jovin, aged 10 and 8 respectively. 'Nish' and Jovin have been participating twice a week in personal training sessions aimed at helping them live more active lifestyles, and while at times I have witnessed the typical "sibling rivalry", as of late there have been more incidents of the brothers supporting each other. In fact, Nish and Jovin are becoming each others' biggest cheerleaders. When "the going gets tough", they speak words of encouragement to each other; if one finishes a task early and the other is still at it, a chorus of "You can do this!" and "Good job! Keep at it!" can be heard. Last week, during a sixty-second wall-sit, Jovin and Nish began playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to help divert their attention from the challenge of the task at hand. They are in this together, and together they are having fun and making progress – both physically and in their relationship.
Nish and Jovin have discovered that the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle can extend well beyond the gym; bonding, camaraderie, and creating lasting memories are just a few. As for me, I look forward every week to seeing what the boys will do next to support, encourage and challenge each other. They are living proof that it is never too early to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Hello, my name is Jeanne and I am a healer.
I choose to be a healer—a lightworker—because living a spiritual life is my number one priority and following Divine guidance has led me to offer my gifts, knowledge, and healing practice in the service of others. I want to support my fellow brother and sister in their healing journey so that they can feel more peace, love, and freedom.
I came here to be free and in order to feel that freedom I've had to heal everything that ever caused me to feel afraid, hurt, separate, and any other experience that taught me I wasn't good enough or that I am not deserving. The tools I use to claim my freedom are the same skills I call on to help others gain theirs.
I believe we all came here to be free and I'm guided to help people heal their past and transform their present and future so they experience more life freedom.
I'm a Certified Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner, psychic healer, and an ordained minister. I've received various training in energy healing and channeling work, but many of my abilities are natural; I've had psychic experiences since I was four years old. I live my life listening to intuition, heeding guidance from ascended masters, Light bodies, spirit animals, and working with the spirits of plant medicine. Most of all, I lead my life following my heart.
If you'd like to work with me, but are unsure if I can help, email me your questions and concerns and I'll respond within 48 hours.
Thank you for visiting my site.
I invite you to visit my official practitioner page on MatrixReimprinting.com.

A Utah mom says she is willing to move out of state in order to get her daughter in a first-grade classroom.
Angie Watson, of Salt Lake City, is hoping to find a school district that will allow her 12-year-old daughter, Alexis, to learn alongside first-graders, according to a local FOX affiliate. Alexis was born with a rare genetic disorder that has delayed her physical and cognitive growth, although she has surpassed her doctor's expectations and is now intellectually on par with 6-year-olds.
"First not [past] birth, then not go home from the hospital, then don't expect anything," Watson told FOX 13 News of her daughter's diagnosis. "I was literally told that they expected her to lay on her back in a vegetative state and stare at the ceiling for the rest of her life."
While Alexis has been in Salt Lake City District special education classes since beginning her schooling, Watson says her daughter is ready to learn in a regular classroom. However, she says that district officials have denied her request, according to The Salt Lake City Tribune.
Now, Watson is looking for other districts who will accept her daughter as a first-grader in the fall.
Michael Williams, director of development and external relations for the district, told The Huffington Post that the director of exceptional child services is meeting with Watson later this week to try and work out a solution.
"We are aware of the situation and will be working with the parent to provide the best possible solution for her student. Because of Federal privacy laws, it is not appropriate for a Salt Lake City School District employee to comment on specific student cases," said Williams said in an email. "Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, all issues and concerns regarding placement of students with disabilities are done through a team meeting process, which includes participation of the parents, and parental input is always a consideration in any decision."
Alexis, who uses a wheelchair and communicates via sign language, needs an aide during the day. Still, her mom says she wants to try and enter regular classes.
"I just know her enough to know if she completed first grade, I don't care what happens after that, she would go through her life going, 'I did first grade,'" Watson told the Salt Lake City Tribune. "Now that she wants to try and can academically do it and they're saying no — why would we do that? Why would we tell her, 'No, you can't try.'"

<3 <3 <3
Romantic, funny and memorable, Anna and the French Kiss tells the story of a girl's first steps into the world. The friends she meets, the love she craves and the truths she learns along the way will intrigue and inspire those who might be going away from home for the first time, spark the imagination of those who've never done this, or rekindle fond memories for those who've gone before.
Anna's dad, a famous novelist, decides that she should study in Paris for her senior year of high school. No amount of begging or pleading will change his mind. Anna befriends Meredith, Josh, Rashmi and St. Clair and begins to explore Paris and discover who she is without quite so much parental supervision.
Along the way she will also fall in love with St. Clair, who happens to have a girlfriend named Ellie, test the bonds of friendship that she holds with her old best friend, Bridgette and discover the joys of being a would-be film critique living in the film appreciation capitol of the world.
For me this book was a little different then what I am use to. I usually read books where there is something major -- and usually life threatening -- trying to be achieved. In Anna and the French Kiss there seemed to be two major goals (1) obtaining independence and (2) obtaining St. Clair. I'm a romance lover, but I really must tell you ... Because of the way the romance's conflicts were handled I was honestly more interested in the independence plot then in the romance.
That's a serious problem because the independence issue is actually more of a multi-themed sub-plot that plays second fiddle to the romance within this book at every turn. Can romance stand on its own? Absolutely. Does it do that well here? No. (See "Romance")
The Characters:
This is the next big issue for me. I started out liking Anna and St. Clair, but as the book went on I found myself constantly wanting to shake them. By the end of the book it seems that her whole existence revolves around him -- what happened to the girl who was so deeply, passionately interested in film critique? We know that he draws and loves history, but aside from the film thing, what makes her tick? She just didn't have enough depth for my liking.
And while I loved the fact that St. Clair had flaws (or at least, characteristics uncommon to the standard romance hero -- he's short and he's afraid of heights, for instance)... He is a coward. He stays with his girlfriend despite the fact that he no longer cares about her. He sleeps in Anna's bed, while he's still with his girlfriend, at Thanksgiving. He kisses Anna while he's still with his girlfriend near the end of the novel. (I don't care that he breaks up with her shortly after. That's still cowardly behavior.)
I also see that Perkins used a lot of painfully obvious mirroring characters: Bridgette / Meredith and Anna's father / St. Clair's father are the first examples that come to my mind. The situation with how Anna feels about her dad is never fully developed, clearly expressed or in any way resolved, which is another problem that really irked me.
The Romance:
If this is actually a realistic portrayal of teenage romance, then I have only one thing to say: Thank God I didn't date in high school!
Perkins got some things right: The longing. The rollercoaster ride of hope and despair. The torture of being friends with a guy that you like. The jealousy that can consume you when the person your 'friend' is dating does not measure up to how you think you would behave. The slight touches and longing glances that might or might not be real. The intensity of every little thing, innocent or not.
But I could not respect Anna for pining over a guy for all of that time when she knew he was taken.
And I could not respect St. Clair, who admits at the end of the book that he knew he liked Anna the first day, for stringing along his current girlfriend for a good 7 - 9 months. The fact that Ellie ditched Rashmi sucks. But in no way does this justify or excuse the way that St. Clair behaves in any way, shape or form.
I'll give Perkins this: The HEA (happily ever after) she gave them was sweet and had me going "Aww..." despite any prior annoyance. But the bottom line is this: St. Clair and Anna go well together, yet I did not feel myself wishing I could be with St. Clair. If Romance is the central plotline of this novel, then that is what I should feel by the end. If I'd been Anna I would have been too disgusted with him over some of the things he did and said for anything to happen. (Mind you, in the book she did go along with them. They were partners in crime.)
Cheating -- whether its sharing a bed, kissing or stringing someone along -- is not romantic.
Why is it that we see him continually thinking how he is so much like his mother? (Which, on its own is fine...) Yet despite the evidence clearly presented within his actions during the book, we never see him wondering if his behavior in this whole him / Anna / Ellie love triangle is just a little closer to something his father might have done at his own age. (Going by the philosophy that things tend to be done on a smaller scale and snowball...) Lastly, even when he and Anna are confessing their feelings and getting together, I saw no thought or mention that any of this might have been even the slightest bit wrong.
There is absolutely nothing that leads me to believe that Anna won't be next on the chopping block here. I realize that since this is (to my knowledge) a standalone romance with an HEA that I'm not suppose to be thinking forward. I also realize that there are other reasons that any couple in any romance could be threatened with being dumped beyond the covers of the book. My problem here is that there actually seems to be strong evidence to back this up.
In General:
The pacing was solid. The way that Perkins described Paris was great. The dialog was sharp, funny and natural. While I do not agree with some of her decisions, I liked Anna as a narrator and found her voice to be fresh and distinct. I just wish that the plot had hinged on something more then a guy who didn't have the guts to break up with his girlfriend. I was okay with it at first, but once they slept together at Thanksgiving (I do realize they did not have sex, just to clarify) it all went downhill. And for me, personally, it snowballed completely when she came back from Christmas, saw him and was all "I love him!". I wanted to hit her over the head with my copy of the book.
I gave this three stars. It lost one star because the entire plot hinged on the hero's inability to break up with his girlfriend. It lost another because two people who were (technically) cheating got together with no form of admittance, redemption or even remote consideration of their behavior and how it effected others. (Don't even get me started on the Anna / Bridgette / Meredith subplot...)
But this is strictly my opinion. "Good" is not a terrible review. If I really disliked the book, I wouldn't have finished it. If you're interested in this book, go for it. There are a lot of people who like it far more then I did.
I would have rated it higher had I been able to respect the hero and heroine. But the plot hinged on them not being brave enough to listen to their own feelings. And the actions they took to fulfill their plot eventually made me lose most or all respect for them.

Review: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
2 comments:
Great review. You make some excellent points. I really liked this book, but I agree that St. Clair could have handled things better. And really, what's to stop him from repeating this whole incident later on with another girl?ReplyDelete
Exactly my point -- I just didn't have the heart to say it. This book would have gotten at least four hearts from me otherwise.ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love comments! Please feel free to tell me what you think about my blog and the things I am posting. I enjoy hearing what others think. :)

Oddzial Osmy's releases for July 2016
Fighting 15s has received Oddzial Osmy's releases for July, and these are now available to buy in the online shop.
The releases are all 1:600 scale (3mm):
MN-641 YPR-765 PRAT-TOW, Dutch TOW launcher on AIFV chassis
MN-642 XA-360, Finnish AMV Patria APC
SA-6122 TOS-1 Thermobaric rocket launcher
US-6105 US infantry I, standing US riflemen
US-6106 US Infantry II, US support weapons (LAWs, ATGMs, MGs, MANPADs) and command
WBR-669 A30 Challenger, cruiser tank armed with 17pdr gun
WBR-670 Comet
NAP-641 General staff, standing and mounted
Packs are priced at £3.00 inc VAT each. Pack contents are as described on the Fighting 15s website.
The new US infantry packs differ from the existing US-617, which contains prone infantry.
Fighting 15s is reviewing the cost of obtaining these items from Poland in light of the poorer exchange rate with the Polish Zloty and cannot rule out a small price increase in the near future, given that for an average exchange rate of around PLN5.20 to £1 on currency conversion sites, the exchange rate actually achieved after commission is nearer PLN5.00 to the pound.

McConnell comments on upcoming Obamacare repeal vote
McConnell comments on upcoming Obamacare repeal vote
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., released a statement Monday regarding the upcoming vote to repeal Obamacare.
"Regretfully, it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of Obamacare will not be successful," McConnell said.
"So, in the coming days, the Senate will vote to take up the House bill with the first amendment in order being what a majority of the Senate has already supported in 2015 and that was vetoed by then-President Obama: a repeal of Obamacare with a two-year delay to provide for a stable transition period to a patient-centered health care system that gives Americans access to quality, affordable care."

Favorite toppings: guacamole (I love Wholly Guacamole), salsa, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, cilantro, sour cream
In the morning, toss the chicken breasts into a large ziplock bag, add the seasoning packet, slowly pour in a bottle of your favorite Mexican brew, zip and knead the ingredients all together.
When it's time to start getting dinner together, slice up a sweet onion and the bell peppers as the grill heats up. Put the chicken breasts on the grill about 6 minutes per side and brown the onion slices in a large frying pan on the stove with the vegetable oil. Add the bell pepper strips for a couple of minutes, then pour the remaining marinade into the pan and bring it to a boil. When the chicken is ready, let the breasts rest for about 5 minutes, then slice and add to the onion mixture. This keeps the chicken from drying out (one of my constant cooking complaints).
While the chicken and veggies are cooking, brown the tortillas one at a time in a smaller frying pan coated with Pam.
Serve with favorite toppings as described in Do You Fajita?.
Feeds my family of 4.
For further description go to Do You Fajita?
*Basic Taco/Fajita Seasoning Recipe1 tablespoon chili powder 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin (I prefer more …) 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or pinch of cayenne, to taste)
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container.
Serves 8 -10, 1 ounce.

Outline what you are going to teach someone how to do.
No parts required.
Remove two 6 mm Phillips #2 screws on either side of the On/Off Plate.
Remove the On/Off switch plate and save the screws so you can use them later to put the plate back on.
Gently pull out the battery cartridge and if needed, replace the batteries with 3 AA alkaline batteries.
Starting with the yellow face, insert the metal spudger between the yellow face and the white frame, prying the frame apart.
There seems to be no way of doing this without breaking the plastic pegs holding the faceplate in on the first one. I haven't managed to try it yet, but I think to undo the rest of the faceplace without damage, you need *really* long screw driver from which you can reach the opposite faceplate.
Insert the metal spudger in the space created by the plastic opening tool between the frame and face of the cube.
Pry the cube face from the frame.
After removing the square plates, you can unscrew the screws underneath.
Remove four 6 mm Phillips #2 screws, located on the sides.
Remove the rubber corners by simply pulling them off.
Remove twenty-four 6 mm Phillips #2 from all 6 sides.
Once the screws are removed, gently pull apart the frame.
Flip the frame over so that green motherboard over so that the LED is face down and the brown side of the motherboard is face up.
Use the Jimmy to remove the glue connecting the motherboard to the white frame.
Slide the motherboard out of the frame.
Use the soldering iron to desolder the LED by applying heat to the half sphere like connections.
Take the new LED and solder the two legs back to the motherboard.

LOYALTY PROGRAM: Prospects' outstanding rewards will expire on Might 25, 2016, at which time the League program will terminate. With the Nationwide Basketball Association (NBA) and National Soccer League (NFL) collective bargaining agreements set to run out inside the subsequent two years, many specialists are already predicting what adjustments may be made to both leagues' governing labor documents. I will assume that if you are reading this, then you are possible a fairly good sports fan.
With the evolution of gender roles over time, many male dominated sports activities organizations have decided to open up girls's divisions. As well as, because of the change of equal illustration in ladies's sports activities, extra feminine athletes have begun to participate in sports activities in comparison with those of the previous.

I've answered this question offline, but the short reply is No, you don't want a license from any soccer league or from Adidas (and so forth.) to purchase jerseys from the manufacturer (licensee) or from certainly one of their distributors.
