Tree Planting and Webcast Mark International Year of Forests
The Canadian Museum of Nature celebrated the 2011 International Year of Forests in September with two events in partnership with Tree Canada.
On September 21, 2011, a new sugar maple (Acer saccharum) was planted on the museum's east lawn to mark Canada's first National Tree Day.
This commemorative day received consent from the House of Commons on March 3, 2011, in a motion presented by MP Royal Galipeau. Galipeau was present to join the Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources; Mike Rosen, the President of Tree Canada; museum staff and other dignitaries for a ceremonial plaque unveiling.
Tree plantings also took place across the country at other venues, including sites for the Alliance of Natural History Museums of Canada. The Canadian Museum of Nature has been a member of this national network since 2003.
The next day, on September 22, the museum and Tree Canada hosted a forum and webcast about the state of Canada's forests. Working Trees: The Future of Our Forests featured a moderated discussion with Mark Hubert of the Forest Products Association of Canada and Faisal Moola of the David Suzuki Foundation. About 180 students from the National Capital Region attended in person, while others participated online.

Subj: The Work Of The Invernor (S234)
Quote by Francis Bacon
From: the book "The Light of Other Days", page 307
By Arthur C. Clark, published by TOR (c) 2000
"The good effects wrought by
founders of cities, law-givers,
fathers of the people, extirpators of tyrants, and heroes
of that class, extend but for short times: whereas the work
of the Inventor, though a thing of less pomp and show, is
felt everywhere and lasts forever."

Subj: U.S.Patent Office And The Apple (S207, S622b)
After patiently waiting for hours,
a man is let into the U.S.
Patent Office to a demonstration of his new invention. "What
do you have to show me," the officer asks. The inventor
pulls a red apple from his pocket and hands it to the patent
officer. Shaking his head in the patent officer informs the
man that an apple is hardly a new invention.
"You don't understand," the man
says. "This is a special
hybrid that I have developed myself. Take a bite out of it
and tell me what you think." The patent officer, unsure but
curious, takes a bite out of the apple.
"Big deal," he says. "It tastes like an apple."
"Turn it around and take another
bite," says the inventor.
The officer takes a bite out of other side and his expression
turns to disbelief. "I don't belive it," he says. "It has
the taste and texture of an orange. The inventor throws the
officer another apple. "here, try this one." This time the
officer says that it tastes like a peach. The inventor
eagerly asks him to turn it around and take a bite out of the
other side. The officer does so and is rewarded with the
taste of bananna.
"This is a great invention. "it's
too bad that you can't make
one that tastes like Pussy!" The inventor smiles and reaches
into his pocket, producing another apple. "Try it," he says.
The officer takes a bite and his face contorts horribly. "That
tastes like shit!" he yells.
"Turn it around," laughs the inventor.
Second version
There's this inventor who was
experimenting with making an
apple that tastes like something else. So, he makes an
apple that tastes like a Candy bar. He asks his brother
to try it. His brother goes, "whooah! This tastes exactly
like a candy bar, but I don't think people will buy it,
they'll just buy a candy bar instead. So the next day he
makes an apple that tastes like a steak. He gives it to
his brother. "This tastes exactly like a steak but I don't
think people will go for it, they'll just buy a steak
instead," his brother replied. So the next day he makes an
apple that tastes like a women. His brother tries it and
says, "This is gross, it tastes like shit!" The inventor
says "Oh yeah, turn it around!"

Subj: Two Amazing Website Patents (S277)
From: jerry on 5/19/2002
Wouldn't it be really stupid
if the U.S Patent and Trademark
office awarded someone a patent which says that using text
and graphics on a commercial website is a new and unique use
and that any company that has text and graphics on their
website should now pay a licensing fee? And wouldn't it be
just as stupid if they awarded a patent to someone which
says that using a website to conduct business is a new use
and that websites should now start paying licensing fees to
do this?
I've got bad news for my fellow
Americans. Your government
is this stupid.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark
office has awarded patents
5,576,951 and 6,289,319 to PanIP Corporation giving them
these exclusive rights. And PanIP has not wasted any time
filing lawsuits against 11 small companies to set a
precedent from which to launch other suits. PanIP wants
$30,000 from each site, something considered by these sites
to be extortion.
According to DICKSON SUPPLY CO
INC (http://www.dicksonsupply.
com), one of the unfortunate companies named in the suit,
a protracted patent battle would cost them about $1 million
so from a business perspective it would be cheaper to pay
the $30,000. But PanIP picked the wrong company. Dickerson
feels they have an obligation to society to bury these
patents and will fight PanIP in court. They are trying to
pool legal resources with the other 10 named companies in
the suit.
Are you fed up with this stuff?
Spread the word and if
you are an American, contact your government representatives.
PanIP pulled their website, probably
to avoid hearing from
enraged people.

Moody's downgrades Turkey's credit rating to 'junk' status
NEW YORK (AP) — Moody's has downgraded Turkey's credit rating to "junk" status, a further blow to an economy shaken by terrorist attacks, a failed military coup and a diplomatic spat with Russia.
The rating agency on Friday lowered its rating on Turkey's debt one notch, stripping it of investment-grade status. The move could mean higher borrowing costs as investors demand steeper interest rates to take on riskier Turkish debt.
Moody's indicated it expects Turkey's economic growth to be weighed by political turmoil following July's coup attempt that could scare off vital foreign investment and stall economic reforms.
It also cited the impact on the country's tourism industry from a string of extremist attacks and a row over Turkey's downing of a Russian warplane last year that has kept Russian visitors away.

Layla Moore and a Newly Limp Pex Lux (HD)
Oh no! Poor Peko has had her house broken into by one of her employees. She's put some kind of knock-out gas in the air and Peko is conked out on the couch!
Layla, her disgruntled employee can't believe Peko didn't like her coding on the new project and fired her as a result. As revenge, she's broken into her house and gassed her! As Layla starts to squish Peko's mouth and cheeks together, she mocks her now limp boss- "You shouldn't have fired all of my friends, Peko!" She moves her mouth like a puppet "I'm sorry, Layla! You're a good coder, I'll let you keep your job!"
Layla continues to play with Peko's limp body, picking up her arm and dropping it with a heavy thud and does several eye checks. Peko remains asleep despite Layla's continuous poking, prodding and evil laughter.
Suddenly, Layla gets an idea! She's always had a crush on Peko's boyfriend, and now that Peko is here, asleep, and so vulnerable...she can manipulate her mouth and speak for her so that Peko can officially give him permission to be with Layla instead of her! "Perfect" she mutters. Layla is so tickled she takes out her phone and films Peko as she acts as her ventriloquist. Layla relishes that her devious plan has played out so perfectly. Peko remains limp, and Layla walks off, sneering as she goes to meet her new boyfriend for lunch.
Leopard Bikini JOI and CEI (HD)
"Hey!" you look around nervously as Peko appears to address you "Yeah, I'm talking to you" she says annoyedly. Peko tells you that she knows you've been watching her, and that since the two of you are alone, why not have some fun?
Peko orders you to sit down and unzip your pants, laughing as she tells you you need to undo the button first "Embarrassed? Slow down" she taunts as she instructs you to touch yourself. "I didn't say you could pull out your cock" she growls "Put it back in your boxers, but touch yourself. Like I said." as you ease into a rhythm of stroking your cock with Peko's eyes hot on your face and member, you start to feel a little less nervous. She mimics you touching your member as she rubs her pussy, smiling.
"Keep stroking, but keep your cock inside your boxers. With your other hand, squeeze your balls" you listen to Peko and grab your balls, gasping at how sensitive they are as she smiles. "Now you can take your cock out. Look how hard you are!" she grins again. "Let me give you some encouragement" Peko says evily, getting up and turning around, starting to bounce and twerk her big fat ass just inches from your face, and your throbbing cock.
Peko encourages you to keep stroking and looks back rather disgustedly- "You're not going to cum are you? You're going to cum when I tell you to, and that's not yet!" she sneers as she continues to bounce her fat booty up and down, laughing at you, because you don't even know how to stroke your own dick!
She sits back down, telling you to envision her ass inside your mind..."I bet you wish you could be inside it, huh? Well, I'll never give you what you want" she laughs again. With your cock throbbing and pulsating of its own accord, Peko notices that she indeed encouraged you. "You've been such a good boy, listening to me, that I think I should reward you!"
Peko instructs you that she's going to let you cum, but one on condition. "I'm going to count down from 10" she says, telling you to use your precum as lube. As you can feel yourself getting feverishly hot from holding back your cum from so long and Peko finally being on the number five, she says something that worries you- "Once you cum, you're to cup it in your hands, understand?" you gulp and continue to stroke your cock until you blow a huge load after she's done counting.
"Now," Peko says, "I want you to eat it" shocked you look at her in horror, a string of cum hanging loosely from your dick "Oh, sorry, I forgot you aren't a sissy bitch boy...manly men don't eat their own cum," she taunts. "My mistake..." She grits her teeth together "From now on you ARE my sissy bitch boy. And you're going to love eating your own cum. Everytime you cum, you're to eat your own seed." your hands have moved up to your mouth without you realizing, and your lips come in contact with your hot spunk. Peko smiles, "Lick it all up" you obey and guzzle down your own cum.
Secretary Peko Lux's Funny Faces (HD)
Kyaaa! Peko is back at it in this cute, funny clip! With a pair of tortoise shell glasses on, she crosses her eyes and puckers her lips making silly faces at the camera. She squeaks and tries desperately to touch her nose with her tongue, but settles for a gentle, one-finger boop instead. Peko fishhooks herself and puffs her mouth up full of air, giggling as she pushes it out. Enjoy this wacky video!
Peko Lux Snacks on Berries and Naughty Tiny Men (HD)
Here I am minding my own business, eating raspberries in the privacy of my own home in some sexy yet comfortable purple lingerie...when I feel something crawling on my leg, and then my thigh! I look at my legs, and then the floor and table, but I don't see anything! A bit peeved I continue to enjoy my snack, munching hungrily on the berries.
Then, I see it. Him rather, a small man, on the table looking up at me. I sigh and scold my tiny man for being out of his cage "Is that the reason it felt like there was a bug crawling on me?" "Look, I do a lot for you as an owner...I provide you with food- sometimes, shelter, safety..." I continue to lecture him on the reasons why he must never leave the safe haven of his cage. The only thing I ask is for you to listen to me! And you see, I'm not in a very good mood right now, it's why I haven't come around to "play" with you. In addition to being irked, I'm hungry, and I think I could go for a side order of tiny little man with these berries.
"Where do you think you're going?" I laugh, cupping my hand around the small creature "There's nowhere for you to run!" I picked up the helpless man, and despite his feeble protests give him a nice, big lick. I laugh at him and compare that getting licked must be equivalent to getting caught in a rainstorm or rip tide.
I then remind him of the crushing reality that he exists only in my apartment, my cage, my mouth. The world ignorant to him and his current predicament. Finally, I swallow him, complimenting him on how good he tastes while sliding down my gullet. I can feel his little body squirming and moan as I trace his small frame fading from sight, mind and body, forever.
Shaking my head, I reach for another berry, but see two more teeny, tiny, insignificant little men staring up at me. Sighing, I disappointedly express that I expected more out of them. "I did pay more for you after all, your papers said you were housebroken. I feel like I'd be wasting my breath if I explained all of this again..." I let them know that they too caught me in a bad mood, and already having had a taste of tiny little man, I tell them the raspberries pale in comparison to how delicious they look right now.
I pick them both up at once, rubbing them all over my tongue, soaking them, and revel in their pleasant sweet taste. I remind them too, that this will all be over soon. I munch and crunch, giggling at how I think I felt their tiny bones break inside my mouth.
Swallowed, I remind them as they travel down my maw that the stomach acid won't hurt for that long- in fact it'll numb them before they completely dissolve.
I rub my greedy belly, now slightly pudgy from my unexpected snack and giggle about how they'll just become more fat on my ass, and let out a huge belch.
*First time with an endoscopic cam! Lots of yummy close-ups and views of the inside of my hungry mouth!
Giantess Peko Burps on, Eats, and Panty Drops Tiny Little Men (HD)
Lucky you! You've been chosen from Peko's box of tiny little men for her to enjoy. The thing is, you're just SO tiny, it's pathetic. Peko is SO much bigger than you that she can hardly believe it! She mocks your minuscule stature and how scared you are of your imminent demise.
Peko puts her pinkie nail down next to you, but it's absolutely enormous comparatively. She laughs, telling you that you're essentially a nasty little bug! But somehow, even smaller, and even more disgusting and pathetic. She hovers her giant hand over you and your comrades, joking that she could squish you effortlessly at any second.
Peko is ecstatic at the wonderful opportunity presented to her, and tells you that she has something REALLY exciting in store. You see her giant arm extend as she grabs a soda- take a few big sips...and...BUUUURP! all over you and your small compatriots. Peko can see your small limbs grasping at the fabric beneath you, as you try not to blow away from her humongous burp! Again, she laughs, completely enamored by your absolute helplessness. She burps on you over and over again, and you quiver whenever he giant mouth draws near, teeth ferocious and tongue hungry.
Less than impressed, she grabs one of your cohorts who has fallen over from her powerful belch, and belches on them more for being such a pathetic little gnat! Peko continues to taunt them, "flying" them around now like the bug they are, indulging in their fear and her own sick whims. Without warning, the giantess then drops her small plaything into her panties, laughing as they cry on the way down.
Peko then looks over the remaining 4 insects. She grabs two at random, dropping them in her lower undergarment as well. She laughs as they squirm against her assflesh as she outlines their small body against the fabric. All of a sudden...SQUISH! She rolls her huge ass onto the counter top, crushing the men beneath her butt. She bounces her round booty over and over again ensuring their expiration.
At long last, only two remain. Peko's stomach as been rumbling for quite some time now, and you and your friend look especially tasty! She wastes no time, and you become up close and personal with her salivating maw as she licks you up into her hungry jaws.
Mmm! She exclaims as she swallows, tracing the body of you and your companion over her throat as they slide down her gullet into her waiting stomach. She rubs her tummy, and lets out another huge burp, finally satisfied.

The White House said on Friday it expects the Senate to retain the "principles" of the healthcare bill approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday even as it makes some changes, Reuters reported.
"We expect there to be some changes, but we expect the principles and the main pillars of the healthcare bill as it exists now to remain the same," White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters.
Among those principles, she said, were creating a competitive environment and giving states more flexibility to make decisions about the healthcare system.

Froi of the Exiles,
by Melina Marchetta
ARC from Candlewick, available 3/13/12
Three years have passed since Finnikin and Isaboe ended the Lumateran curse and exile and began rebuilding their country. Now nearly 18, Froi has spent these years helping rebuild Lumatere and training with the Queen's guard, both to mind his temper and to train to fulfill his promise to protect his queen. Foreign relations are tense due to the long suspected role of Charyn in the Lumateran exile; to complicate matters, Charyn refugees are flooding the Lumateran valley on their border. Fluent in Charnyite, Froi is given a secret mission infiltrate the desert country, impersonate a noble, and assassinate their king. However, not even the trainings of the Guard could prepare him for what he discovers in the treacherous Charyn royal court. Charyn has a curse of its own: no children have been born or even conceived in 18 years. Charyn's insane princess, Quintana, claims to be the only one to be able to break the curse. However, Froi is strangely drawn to Quintana, who has become a victim of the curse, and to the Charnynite people, hesitating in his mission as his resolve to protect her and help Charyn find peace strengthens. This wholly engrossing and beautifully constructed novel is filled with intrigue, dark humor, mystery, adventure, engaging new characters, and visits with old Lumateran friends. More political thriller than pure fantasy, due to plot complexity and some sexual violence it is recommended to high school students and adults. As a reader caveat, this novel ends on an excruciating cliffhanger!
Hold your breath (or don't is probably a wiser idea), because here comes a loooong review:
Confessions: I was a little perturbed when I found out that Finnikin of the Rock, of which I finished, closed, and thought "almost all the ducks were in a row and I feel good about these characters taking things from here and succeeding! DaYUM, what a great stand alone!" was actually the first in a series, and that Froi of all characters was going getting his own book. I mean… Froi was a kind of fascinating but overshadowed character in Finnikin. Hilarious and tragic, but occasionally reprehensible, he wasn't always our (taking a page from the book and using the royal we here) favorite character. But it is Melina, you guys! As in, author of several of my favorite books! Though I had my doubts, they were more about Froi than Melina Marchetta's abilities to write a stunning book. After a reread of Finnikin, and particularly the chapter in which we hear Froi's voice when the fever strikes Evangalin, I was MORE than excited to start Froi.
Frankly, Froi won me over. Both the character AND the book. He's come a long way from petulant, violent, impulsive thief to slightly impulsive, more mature, but kind of admirable wannabe-assassin. If that doesn't sound like an argument to not be a preemptive judger, real live English major Lil'Miss Julia Hawesome ran south with my ARC, and had the following thought: "it fit with Froi's own journey and personality and darkness. There were times it was hard to reconcile Froi from Finnikin with Froi from this book, but I guess three years can do a lot for a person." Three years CAN. For instance, three years ago, Sarah Palin could see Russia from her house and only Apple nerds had iPhones!
You guys. Just pause here for dramatic effect. Pause… Because you know what? I worried for naught! This book is kind of fantastic. I take that back. It's not kind of anything but rather fully fantasy fantastic. The characters, new and old, are all multilayered, richly constructed, fully flawed human beings. The landscape is stark, hard, and dangerous, much like many of the new Charynite characters. The plot is captivating; it's really hard to put this one down (and it's not a short book, clocking in at close to 600 pages). Even the slow moments are filled with bits and pieces of import to the story. It's a well-paced roller coaster ride, with ups, downs, breaks, laughter, tears, and the occasional desire to puke from over-excitement. The dark side of humor, in that laughter can be based on sadness and cruelty but still be funny, enlightening, and cleansing is on full display in this addition to the series. Charynites, despite their uber-rough country and messed up curses and royal court etc., are deeply, darkly, humorous. In fact, in some ways what happens in this book (survival, family, bearing unwanted burdens, etc.) is darker and yet less sad than the exile in Finnikin, perhaps because our characters are not entirely at the mercy of fate in the same ways that the Lumaterans were.
At times, it reads like a mystery as Froi works to unravel the layers of the Charyn curse; all is not revealed at once. In some ways, we all suspect what he'll wind up doing, but yet it's not fully predictable in ways we would expect. The chapters alternate between protagonists and kingdoms, with Froi as our main narrator, but all sides have their say. Por ejemplo, despite the struggle of rebuilding their country and getting their lives back together, or say, dealing with a refugee situation of their own, I found it really refreshing to step away from the darkness in Charyn and visit with our old Lumateran friends. I love that the tide has turned in ways, and now our exiles are the unwilling hosts who have trouble admitting to themselves that the Charyn refugees on their border are just like they were. Pot, have you met kettle?
Author Crush: I feel an author crush ramble coming on…because none of that has been going on here already...You guys, saying Melina Marchetta is talented is like saying ice cream is delicious. DUH. I've gushed before and will again in the future, but she really never fails to wow me. How many authors can manage a story with as many plot lines and characters with related yet individual stories as Froi, AND keep the writing and story strong? On top of that, how many can create a brand new major character, make her seem truly insane and undesirable, and then explain it in a way that makes sense without mitigating it, AND create sympathy, even affection and grief, when sanity is somewhat found for this new character? (I know this makes little to no sense if you haven't read the book. Deal with it. You know, by reading this book.)
|Quintana or Smartypants?
New Characters: Quintana is fascinating. I loved picturing her in her pink taffeta dress, which stinks of a bad bridesmaid experience! (If there is a snowballs chance in hell you are reading this, Melina Marchetta, is this hunch true? Also, totally unrelated, but will Jimmy Hailler ever get his story told?) I couldn't help but think of Babette Cole's Princess Smartypants when picturing Quintana. And now thanks to that visually, you won't be able to help it either! You're welcome. Phaedra is also a character who I knew would be more than she initially seemed. It was and will be fantastic to see her coming into her own role and authority with her people. I also loved the twins from Abroi and their complicated history and relationship with Froi.
|Australia's Froi cover
Cover Judger: I think I initially wanted to say more about how the themes of family, loyalty, and doing the right thing run through this book, but I just did so I won't gush on for another paragraph. I will however, briefly talk about the cover. LOVE the yellow and black because it's sufficiently dark and twisty, but I'm not a huge fan of the fadey face picture. Is that dude with an intentional pupestache wearing eyeliner? Is Froi a pubescent emo rocker? As covers go, I like it but I'm having trouble not comparing it to the gorgeous US hardcover jackets for Finnikin. You know, without the fadey people. I actually prefer the Australian Froi original. But that's just me; it really is a decent cover.
This book ends on SUCH a crazy cliffhanger, which is apropos to the gorges of Charyn. But not to my desire to know what is going to happpppeeennnn! 2013 can't come soon enough.

How does it work?
That is an easy question to answer. But it is even easier to see for yourself. When you find an invitation that suites your taste you can easily begin to edit.

You'll see the changes on your screen and you can then shift elements, move text and make other adjustments. When you're finished setting up the invite you may place your order. So here are the three simple steps:
- Pick out one of the invitations
- Customize it to suite your wedding
- Place your order
- Done!
What if I don't like the invitations?
Well you are in luck. If for some reason you don't "love" the rustic wedding invitations you created you may return them within thirty days. You may either return them for a replacement, full refund, or a store credit.* When you set out to create you invitations it is important to get what you need from them.
What can I change?
You're free to customize the design how you see fit. If one design doesn't have what you're looking for another will. The indie designers who crafted these wonderful, modern and rustic invites have designed them with you in mind. once the overall layout is setup to your liking you can change the paper type, alter the border and choose the fitting envelope. It is all possible. As you can see all of the fun parts are left up to you.
When can I expect delivery?

Leap day: Four times a reason to celebrate
February 28, 2012
When Jenna Pevenage was born eight years ago at the Barton Memorial Hospital in South Lake Tahoe, her parents knew it was going to be a special day.
Jenna was born on Feb. 29, which is known as leap day in the Gregorian calendar, a day that only exists every four years.
"It is her second real birthday today," Jenna's father Steve Pevenage said of his daughter's birthday this year. "She usually gets upset because she has no real birthday, and her friends just don't understand."
Usually her family chooses her birthday around the end of February or beginning of March.
"Whatever day is convenient for the family to celebrate with her." Pevenage said.
Jenna, who enjoys skiing, baseball and the New York Giants, will have her birthday party at the fire station where her father works as a firefighter, which will make her special day an unforgettable one.

Psquare were ballers at a time when most Nigeria singers were not getting paid a whole lot.
Today, many Nigerian singers ride around in exotic cars but in 2009 only a few of them could boast of this. Psquare topped the list with the likes of 2face Idibia and D'banj, of artists with expensive cars.
Nine years ago, Psquare had some sleek cars among the fleet of cars in their garage. Among their exotic cars were the popular Hummer jeep which was a real big deal for artist at that time. They also had in their garage a Ford Edge and a Land Cruiser jeep.

It just didn't end there, they had two other exotic jeeps which at that time cost a fortune. Back in 2009, the Psquare frenzy was so high that even CNN visited the duo who showed off their cars and jewelry.
With the style of life Psquare created for themselves, they not only became an idol to a lot of people but also made way for the flamboyant lifestyle a lot of celebrities began to live. It was more like Psquare set the pace at which Nigerian celebrities began to leave affluent lifestyles.

We're In This Together (halo)
From NinWiki
We're In This Together (also known as Halo 15) is actually a collection of 3 CDs distributed in Europe and Japan to promote the single "We're In This Together" from the album The Fragile. Due to its rarity when released, along with the fact that the single was not officially released in the US, this collection is a very coveted item for NIN memorabilia collectors.
The singles were also released in Japan, with Obi strips attached to the artwork. No commercially available vinyl or cassette versions were released.

I believe that 'Don't worry. Be happy'. I am sure that you have heard it several times in real life. It is a general saying, and it sounds easy and friendly. Since when I was a child, I've believed that 'Don't worry. Be happy', because I always think I am such a lucky girl. I like my family, my friends, and my situation. Sometimes, I could be in a dilemma but I think life is like the waves of the sea so even if I am in a dilemma I will think I am ok and I will be good soon. Because if a day is bad or hard, a happy and great day will be waiting for me. Thus, I am keeping in mind that life has 'YIN'(negative) and 'YANG'(positive) so my mind could always be light and happy.
When I was a high school student, actually still now, I have often heard "you are so optimistic and vivid" because I am always smiling and my friends tell me that I just look like I don't have any concern which is good or bad. Whatever!! I don't care. I would like to think it is good because even thought I think too much about my problems, they will not disappear and they will not be smaller than before. This belief makes me laugh and look vivid. I like myself so much. I could hear you are self-absorbed. Who will live my life instead of me? Our life is only once. Could it happen two ot three times? We don't have time to make an angry expression or grave exprassion any more. It is the best way to live: just enjoy our life as much as we can. On the other hand, we can live freely, without restraint, have fun, and take pleasure. Once again, I believe 'Don't worry. Be happy'.

On Wednesday 12th July a group of pupils accompanied by Mrs Beesley and Mrs Fender visited the West End for the matinee performance of 'An American in Paris'. After a detour of London due to King Phillipe of Spain's state visit the group arrived at the Dominion Theatre excited and in good spirit thanks to Joe Elliott and Thomas Wooster's informative sight-seeing guide. The show was amazing! Slick changes of set, fabulous music and sublime dancing. We were all impressed.
After the show the pupils met with former Brynteg pupil Alyn Hawke who is currently performing in 'An American in Paris'. Alyn took a question and answer session with the pupils before signing programmes, tickets and having numerous selfies. Since graduating with a first class honours degree in Musical Theatre Alyn has performed in 'Evita' (British and European Tour), 'Top Hat' (British tour, London residency and Japanese tour) and 'Miss Atomic Bomb' (London residency).

12 Sienna Miller Outfits From the 2000's We Still Want to Wear
Sienna Miller has amazing style. She has that timeless-with-an-interesting-twist look now, but she was the poster girl for all things bohemian in the 2000's. She convinced you that you needed more vests and floppy hats in your wardrobe. She even made you want to own a pair of cowboy boots. We may look at a lot of boho fashion looks and cringe now, but there are a lot of throwback Sienna Miller looks that we still want to copy. They're effortless and just look so cool.
(Related: Every Awkward Way We Wore The Boho Trend In The 2000's)
These 12 Sienna Miller outfits from the 2000's make us want boho to become massive again:
1. Printed Blouse and Floppy Hat, 2004
You probably still frequently wear a floppy hat similar to this one, and you probably have a pair of slouchy boots too. All that is missing is the printed blouse, light-wash jeans and Jude Law. We can always hope.
2. Furry Jacket and Cropped Sweater, 2005
Sienna has a knack for layering and pulling off things that shouldn't work. She made this tricky-to-wear cropped sweater look good thanks to the coordinating top and furry jacket. Plus, she somehow makes the bootcut jeans half-tucked into her furry boots look cool. Remember this was back in the pre-skinny days before we tucked pants into our boots.
3. Teal Dress and Arm Cuff, 2004
Sienna's outfit at the 2004 Vanity Fair Oscar Party showed that boho could be just as good for evening as it could for day. This teal color is beautiful and worked well with her darker hair. The arm cuff is a bohemian-must, and the way the silver bag contrasts with all the gold accessories is interesting.
4. Printed Dress and Slouchy Boots, 2004
Remember this one for your casual weekend look. All this look involves is a printed dress, slouchy boots and a hat, but it looks a lot more pulled together than your old college hoodie and ripped jeans.
5. Denim Shorts and Black Tights, 2005
The tights with shorts look is something that hasn't gone away, so we might as well channel this look from head-to-toe because it still looks great. You might have thought that blue boots would look awful, but they work with Sienna's printed top.
Click the next page to see more throwback Sienna Miller looks that have a spot on our Pinterest boards!
6. Tank, Denim Mini and Cowboy Boots, 2004
Admit it: You kind of wish you still kept your cowboy boots when you look at this photo. Sienna's white tank and denim mini get an upgrade thanks to the red bag and those boots. When done right, they add some interest to a basic outfit.
7. Textured Coat and Patterned Boots, 2003
This is the closest thing you have to a street style star shot in 2003. Sienna's fuzzy coat is more interesting than your basic pea coat and it works well with the printed boots. Also note the scarf belt.
8. Denim Vest and Printed Dress, 2005
We can thank Sienna Miller as one of the people who made us realize how our wardrobes were severely lacking in the vest department. They always upgraded an outfit, and were the perfect contrast to more floaty pieces, as seen here.
9. Cropped Furry Jacket and Dress, 2004
Remember what we said about Sienna knowing how to layer? She's got the white slip under the green dress, the black tights under the cutout shoes, and a black cardigan under her furry coat. She may be hot, but she looks great.
10. Embellished Jacket and Skirt, 2005
Embellished jackets like this were perfect when it was too cold to wear a vest. They are also a fresh change to your leather jacket that you wear everywhere. Copy Sienna's style and pair your unique jacket with a basic tank and flowy skirt.
Forget all of the corseted dresses with dramatic skirts and a million layers of tulle. This embellished white dress is fancy, but it looks effortless and like it would actually be able to breathe in it.
12. Belted Tunic and Jeans, 2004
Tunics were an essential part of anyone's wardrobe in the 2000's. You may cringe at the idea of them now, but when you look at this belted one, you may have second thoughts. And you can never go wrong with an arm cuff and boots tucked into jeans.

"I've been worked on by many professionals, from Doctors to all different types of therapists, and there are few people who have the understanding and ability to treat someone correctly. Very Few! Jess possess that ability to find what is wrong and how to best treat it with a multitude of modalities. I highly recommend him." – Brain McKenzie from Crossfit
"Over the past month I have set a personal record in the marathon and 50k distances and placed 3rd female in a 50 mile race. Because of Jess, I have been able to stay injury free while running such high mileage races and he has helped me to recover between races so that I am able to push myself hard from week to week. I have worked with other manual therapists in the past, but never have received such outstanding results as I have with Jess". – Alexa Dickerson – Ultra Runner.
"Jess has been treating me for over one year and is absolutely the reason I remain injury free and able to push the envelope in competitions. I love his passion for his work and hunger for knowledge. He is keenly aware how the body works and immediately finds abnormalities and resolves them. Being an athlete for some time now I have had a lot of body work done and Jess is by far the best".
-Gina Evans/Crossfit Ethos Athlete
"I have worked with a few decent manual therapists over the years, however Jess Dyrenforth is by far one of the most knowledgeable and capable practitioners I have ever dealt with. Working with Jess dramatically improved my posture, pain and stiffness. He is constantly learning how to improve his skills and his clients reap the rewards of his continuing education as he incorporates all of it into his sessions. Whatever is needed, he pulls from his vast knowledge base and the outcome is nothing short of miraculous. By my own choice, I do not use medication and Jess' abilities allow me to forego it while Western Medicine would have me doped to the gills. Thank you Jess".
-Hillary Morgan, Huntington Beach.
"Jess treated a snowboarding knee injury of mine on several occasions. He took a much different approach than other Bodyworkers, first testing my knee's stability, flexibility, tenderness, and speaking to me about complaints before starting work. He then concentrated on specific muscle groups — using pressure on some points and strokes on others. After each treatment, my knee felt great — much lighter and more freedom of movement. I highly recommend him and his keen anatomical awareness". Shane Cobern from Los Angeles
"Jess Dyrenforth is an excellent therapist. I have three slipped discs in my neck and had severe pain and muscle tightness for years. He was able to alleviate the pain and tension.. His hands are magic, and once you try him you will agree. It is a small price to pay for a better quality of life" Dora From Pomona
"My Dyrenforth has consistently received high praise from the patients I have referred to him. As an actual client myself with over 12 years of manual therapy experience, Jess"s touch and ability to feel soft-tissue abnormalities are as good as any I've seen."
-Dr Koh, DPT Doctor of Physical Therapy.
"I never knew how much Bodywork could benefit me until Jess started working on me. He definitely extended my skating career."
-Arlo Eisenberg X Games Gold Medalist
"Bodywork has benefited me is so many ways in both body and mind. Jess has always fixed me up".
-Fabiola Da Silva 7 Time X Games Gold Medalist
"Jess has been treating me for about 2 years now and has done a fantastic job! Anything from loosening me up before a race to some serious body/repair work after a grueling expedition race or ultra marathon. Jess really understands how the body works and the various manipulations
to make it perform at its absolute best!"
-Mark Matyazic Ultra Marathon Runner
"You cannot go wrong with Jess Dyrenforth as your holistic body worker" Jess has a great awareness and understanding of the body and how to promote healing." Being a massage therapist myself, I have the highest of expectations when it comes to my personal treatment of chronic pain and acute sports related injuries." I am extremely impressed with his utilization of several different modalities (types of massage) to promote and encourage the healing process." I always leave his office with relief from pain and I am so thankful to have found Jess for a therapist."
-Tricia Lockwood, B.S., C.M.T.
"After a series of rear end accidents, a misdiagnosis of my knee, many orthopedic surgeons, physical therapy, acupuncture, pool therapy etc.I met jess. He is smart, skilled , intuitive kind and thoughtful . He has magic hands, powerfull guided hands .Powerfully guided by the big brain ,if he can"t figure it out, he studies. I finally had a total hip replacement. I am absolutely sure that without his care I would have never been able to continue working. He made life bearable until I was ready to make the leap. "Prior to the surgery, I went through Heller sessions with jess. After 2 years of pain an inch and a half shortness in my right leg, I think the sessions made me flexible so I could heal correctly and fast .I was back to work after 6 weeks .I have no limp. No pain. I feel like the luckiest girl to have met jess and I now consider him my friend, and healer."
-Carri Faber from Los Angeles
"Jess Dyrenforth consistently provides exceptional treatments that bring relief from both injuries and deeper, chronic issues." Each massage Jess gives is a careful and skillful response to your body's individual needs, both short-term and long-term." I didn't just benefit temporarily from working with Jess, but have a better functioning body because of his mindful approach to Bodywork."
-Rebecca Westerman from Santa Ana

"We've worked hard to find sites where our brand of food -- chic yet comfortable dining experiences -- will resonate, so we knew without hesitation that the Village of Merrick Park was right for us," says Kam Talebi, owner and CEO of CRAVE.
The good news is that the chain supports locally owned and operated farms and business. Talebi and his team "place a big emphasis on being an active and involved member of the community." But Short Order would like to see more locally owned and operated restaurants rather than chains, particularly in Merrick Park, which is finally starting to pick up.

A thorough treatment of professional printing is far beyond the scope of this book. However, here are a few things you should know if you want to send your images to a printing service:
Some printing devices measure resolution in lines per inch, and this resolution measure is called the screen frequency. The resolution of your images should typically be about one and a half to two times the particular device's screen frequency, but check with your printer to be sure.
Flatten any layered image before sending it to a print service.
Choose a file format that is generally used for printed images. Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is common, but you should check with your print service to see what its needs are. Whatever the file format, be sure that your image is saved in the format's uncompressed mode (or at the lowest level of compression if there is no uncompressed mode).
If the print service requires Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Kohl (CMYK) color separations for your image, you can print them by choosing CMYK Separations in the Print Setup dialog box available in Print Layout (File > Print Setup).

This is a great collection, I have dozens of tabs open in my browser right now, all thanks to this page. I usually can't handle more than 10 tabs.
Thanks for these! I had actually just setup a Tiny Tiny RSS image for the few engineering/academic blogs that I follow, this list will help fill it out. Skimmed some of the various blogs and they all look fascinating.

There are a number of reasons why you may need to go through Clearing. Not all of them are bad, some of them may be genuine reasons why you need to use a Clearing platform to help you out. That being said, the most common reasons for going through Clearing, are generally these:
Your UCAS Application was not received before 30th June. If you've sent your application after this date, then you can bet your bottom dollar that the universities in question definitely won't have received.
You didn't get the grades that your university asked you to get.
You've changed your mind. This is a common one, many people decide to not do a certain degree, in lieu of another one. For instance, maybe you don't want to do a Journalism degree and you'd like to look into the possibility of an Economics degree or something.

If you are a first-time homebuyer, getting professional mortgage advice is a great place to start. I specialize in the kind of education that can help get new homebuyers off to a great start! Although mortgage debt is 'smart' debt, buying your first home is a huge financial decision and there is a lot to think about. It's one of the most important financial decisions that most Canadians will make in their lifetime.
You want to take advantage of today's low rate environment but it can be overwhelming to sort through all of the options out there. I will help get you the right combination of mortgage features, privileges and rate that is best matched to your needs. The right mortgage goes beyond just the rate–it's important to also consider term, prepayment options, refinancing penalties, restrictions, and fees.
Determine what you can afford. Before you start shopping for a home – and long before you consider putting an offer on one – let me help you determine how much home you can comfortably afford. Having a realistic budget to start will bring you confidence, knowing that you are not overextending yourself. Remember that home ownership involves costs beyond the monthly mortgage payment such at utility bills, insurance, taxes, home upkeep. Considering things like potential future interest rate hikes is also very important.
Be sure to talk to me about getting pre-approved, so you'll get your interest rate guaranteed for a set period, typically 90 to 120 days. If you have already put an offer in on a property and you're now in your "typical" five day conditional period contact me now to work on an approval for you immediately.
Downpayment options. Downpayment is one of your most important considerations before you look to purchase your new home. If you're in the "saving up" stage of preparing for home ownership, this is a great time to meet with me so we can discuss your downpayment options. In most cases you want to save five percent of the purchase price.
There are a few options to consider for first-time homebuyers who may have smaller amounts to start:
- The Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) – first-time homebuyers can withdraw individually $25,000 or $50,000 with a spouse tax-free from their RRSPs, provided they adhere to the repayment plan.
- Gifted downpayment from a parent or blood relative – can be a source of funds as long as the homebuyer receives in writing that they are not required to pay the money back at any time.
- Start off small – the dream house may be priced too high, so a starter home might be the right option for a first-time homebuyer. A smaller home or maybe a house just outside of the expensive area will help get a foot in the door. The homebuyer can take advantage of the low interest rates to pay off the home quicker and use the equity from the first home to buy the dream home later.
Plan for closing costs. There are additional costs that come with buying a home so you'll need to have some extra funds set aside to cover these costs. Generally, you can expect to pay approximately 1.5% of the home's selling price in total closing costs. I can outline all of your closing costs so you won't be caught by surprise.
I will also provide strategies to help you pay your mortgage off faster and shave thousands off interest costs.
There's so much to consider. Work with me today so you can get into the market and start your wealth building with smart debt! I will help you get off on the right foot in your home buying journey.
I really look forward to helping you achieve your dream of homeownership!
Contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss.

Last week, we visited Doctor Licille Kilantang at the clinic located near the church in Opon. We were scheduled for our yearly flu shots.
We arrived quite late but Dokie was very accommodating and still was there to give the shots to Dabby. Dokie's secretary was ready to leave when we arrived at quarter to six and getting ready to close shop.
She still dropped her things to take Dabby's weight and height. His baby book is already old and torn since he had it since he was born. Of course, that also means that he is a patient of Dokie ever since he was born too.
So when he saw that Dokie was already there, he proceeded with looking for the stethoscope which he mentioned he would like to see on the visit. He immediately saw it hanging on the wall and borrowed the thing for him to play with while he had his shot.
At that time, he was also carrying his letter to Ate Kaye and showed it to the Doctor who was amazed with his artwork and suggest he brings some for her to hang on her clinic. I think it's an easy job for Dabby. :)
He had his flu shots after that (and both Marc and I still have to have the shots by next month). It was quick and painless. And got his candies. :) Of course, he also returned the stethoscope.

Mesa, Arizona is a city in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metropolitan area where I live and work.
It's where the Chicago Cubs play their Spring Training home games, of which I've attended many. It has a very nice performing arts center, where I have seen Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt in concert, and enjoyed a presentation by author David Sedaris. Oh, and my parents used to have a little place there as well.
Turns out Mesa is also noteworthy due to its implementation of an Aspect Software automated, text-based consumer engagement solution. The City of Mesa is employing this solution, based on Aspect's CXP platform, to provide residents with a chatbot with which they can interact to do account management, mobile bill payment, and get faster answers to account and basic service questions relative to their city services.
"Basic text interaction has the potential of becoming the simple and central entry point to the entire customer service organization for the city," said Joe Gagnon, Aspect chief customer strategy officer, "and we are thrilled to be able to provide the ability to deliver intelligent, automated, interactive text solutions that will help make this a reality."
More than 71 percent of consumers indicated they want to be able to solve most issues themselves, according to the 2016 Aspect Consumer Index research, and 49 percent said if a company can do it right they would prefer all customer service be conducted via text/messaging.
"Customer service from humans is inherently unpredictable," added Anthony Pappas, president of brand marketing and customer experience at customer experience strategy and planning company DMI. "Not every company can significantly invest in training and customer service personnel. However, AI provides companies a more scalable and affordable option for customer service – especially in the digital age."
The desire for self-service and the fact that humans are unpredictable help explain the growing prevalence of chatbots.
The Facebook Messenger Platform has given rise to 30,000 chatbots from various companies that Facebook's 900 million monthly users can employ to pay for meals and shop online, noted Rajeev Shrivastava, chief strategy officer at cloud contact center software provider inContact, a NICE company.
Pappas added that the hospitality and travel industries have been doing trials of AI, and both Expedia and airline KLM both have implemented AI-powered chatbots to help with customer service. Meanwhile, DMI has been working with travel distribution company Zumata to integrate natural processing into a chatbot.
Vodafone in Qatar also recently gave life to a bot. Named Hani, and powered by [24]7 technology, it invites website visitors to type in their questions, and it maps those questions to the correct answers, regardless of how the questions are phrased.

I love birthdays. Absolutely love them. Especially my own birthday! This year, however, I was not loving my birthday. As a matter of fact I didn't even really want to talk about it. I just wanted to skip right over it. What was happening to me? Well, 11 months into living here is when I get my first bout of homesickness. Yep, this was going to be my first birthday without my family (that I can remember). Growing up my family had, and still has, a tradition of waking up the birthday person with balloons, ice cream cake, and their present. It's amazing! It's wonderful! It's the most perfect family tradition! I mean, who wouldn't want to start their day with cake?
It was a great week nonetheless. We crammed 30 college students into our flat for some chili and we went to a Céilidh! I had fun. I genuinely laughed a lot. But, something was missing. Last year it was Will and San missing and now this year it was my mom and dad. Now I know what I want for my birthday next year: my family all in one place… with me!
Dear Family,
I love you all so much! Thank you all for your love and support. It has meant the world to me.
Will, You are so wonderful and sweet and kind. I married up.
Mom, Dad, and San. Good Lord, you guys mean the world to me! I can't mean it enough! Waking up to all of you singing "Happy Birthday" will never get old. Thank you for the best birthday tradition ever!
Forever grateful,

TopSpeed.com has listed the following popular and dependable online classified ad websites that deals with a used car market – both in buying and selling. This website review also comes with a special evaluation for each online ad. Here are the lists in random order:
1. www.cars.com
This website is best suited when dealing with vintage and classic cars. Its most modern vintage car so far was dated back in 1982. It has a large amount of private car sellers. It also features used car comparisons when you search for a particular vehicle. Aside from this attribute, cars.com also has a customer buying guide, reviews on different cars, and price statistics.

1 comments:
The good thing about the internet is that it can make car searches easier. You can easily locate all the cars for sale in your area with just a push of a few buttons. But the offset is that most of the time, the information about certain cars for sale are not that accurate or not that complete. Some hides information such as past accident history or problems with the car. My one advice with buying cars from the internet would be that the client should have time to make a list of all possible cars first and then check them all out. He can always bring along an experienced mechanic with him if he is not that knowledgeable with cars.

Casinos are so iconic and impressive that we can't help but look at them and think wow. They give a wonderful scope for luxury, money, and power, and that's probably why movies and TV shows love to use them. Think about how awesome it looks when people show a casino on a TV show. You really get that sense of being in Vegas, and how it looks and feels there.
The use of casinos in television has been pretty widespread, though more so in movies. You have to consider the different shows that feature casinos prominently, and there are probably more than you think there are. Here is a list of some of the famous casinos found on the small screen, some are real, while others are fictionalised versions.
Montecito Resort & Casino – Las Vegas
The Montecito Resort and Casino is a fictional casino from the US crime TV series Las Vegas. The show ran for five seasons before being cancelled, but it was an interesting and riveting look at the crime side of Vegas. The show showed all kinds of aspects of the world of casino life, following employees and casino security within the casino. There were a few real life casinos used for scenes when filming Montecito, and they were primarily the Monte Carlo, and Mandalay Bay. This gives it the real scope and feel of being a proper Las Vegas casino, despite being a fictional one.
Binions – Casino Confidential
Casino Confidential is a documentary series on the TLC network, and it follows the employees of the famous Las Vegas casino Binions. Named after founder Benny Binion, the casino is hugely popular, and one of the mainstays of the Vegas scene. It is not just Casino Confidential that has featured this casino though. The 1971 James Bond movie Diamonds are Forever also features the casino, as does several shots in U2's music video I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. This is one of the most iconic and famous casinos in Las Vegas, and we're sure it will be shown again on TV soon.
Borgata Casino – The Sopranos
This is a real-life casino found in Atlantic City. The Borgata Casino has been around since 2003 and continues to be a huge part of the Atlantic City gambling scene. Visually it's pretty iconic, and it has the largest hotel in New Jersey. Those more eagle-eyed among us will recognise that it has, in fact, feathered on TV. The casino had the distinct honour of being used in some scenes and episodes of hit crime drama The Sopranos. This has ensured it cult status among fans of the show, and it continues to be a cultural and tourist landmark in New Jersey.
