The existence of South Louisiana has been a centuries-old project of growth and decay, gains and losses. Both Big Business and the ever-growing Resistance are constantly experimenting with new ways of navigating through the murky milieu of this uniquely swampy state. With a major Exxon refinery sitting in the backyard of the State capitol, it takes little effort to point out the influence of Big Oil in shaping the political, as well as the environmental, landscape.
However, as energy companies continue to exert their power and try to cut through our bayous with their their stranger-than-fiction laws and lawsuits, this growing wave of opposition is making itself heard and felt. Thicker Than Water is a show demonstrating the duality of living on this liquid land, of defending the wild while driving petroleum-fueled cars or flying hundreds of miles for holidays or environmental conferences. The show will imagine alternatives to our Oil & Gas narrative, while bluntly laying bare that the coast is likely already toast.
the dislocation of familiarity
by Devin o Saurus

opening: Saturday, April 8th, 2017 from 6p to 10p

This show is a collection of polaroids and other photographs, mostly non-traditional portraits of people in my surrounding communities. It speaks to intimacy, as well as the feeling of being just on the outside of things, whether by choice or by circumstance. I want to create space in my work for a wide range of identities to be appreciated, and I shoot as a way to connect to people around me more closely.
Artist Bio:
I was given my first 35mm camera when I was 8 and I've hardly put it down since then. I am passionate about film and the analog process as a whole. After dropping out of art school 14 years ago, last semester I returned to the Fine Art program at the University of New Orleans.

exhibition dates: December 10 – January 6, 2017

"lost + found" is a two person exhibition of large-format photographic works by Sarah Paz Hyde and Chrystal Lea Nause. The work collectively explores the idea of losing part of oneself only to unexpectedly finding something else. All images were photographed with large format 4×5 cameras, using hand-processed film. No digital manipulation has been used.
Wonder Lost is an ongoing series that examines the relationship between childhood memories and their transition to adult recollections of the past; ultimately addressing that little bit of something we all have lost: childhood wonder. In capturing fabricated and found spaces, she hope to encourage the viewer to reconnect with the missing parts of themselves, in a way that reminds us all to live in a more joyful and imaginative, playful way by letting go of the unnecessary excess emotional baggage that results from being an "adult."
Hyde's first time photographing with a sense-of-purpose, a sense-of-self, was in high school. Long drives on sunlit backroads, in a 1991 Toyota Cressida, sunroof open, hair whisping around as sun rays peak through tree leaves, in search of magic — anything that spoke to me. Sarah Paz Hyde is a Southern Illinois native currently calling Colorado home.
This [currently untitled] body of work is a collection of deeply personal narratives based on my experience with the deaths of those who were closest to me. I attempt to find solace through the excavation of my own soul and mind. The images visually represent a personal journey, mired through depression and anxiety, all in a search to understand the permanence of loss through death.
Nause fell in love with the darkroom at the age of 16, as an exchange student in Tasmania, Australia. She is passionate about traditional darkroom processes and is an Administrative Member of the New Orleans Community Printshop and Darkroom. This Midwest native now calls New Orleans her home.

'Always Chasing Rainbows' by Paul Rizzo
Opening: Saturday February 13th, 2016 from 6pm to 10pm
Exhibition Dates: February 13 – March 5, 2016
Artist Statement:
nostalgia is involved
and I can't remember a thing
whereas my concious mind is usually oblivious
my unconscious is somehow totally aware
obsessed with documentation
I fill sketchbooks
and recreate 70s gay porn
as if it were reliable time travel
the whole process being purely reactionary
I am far more in touch with my heart than my head
'Proximity' by Joseph Tagliatela
Opening: Saturday January 9th, 2016 from 6pm to 10pm

Artist Statement:
PROXIMITY is about identity through human interaction, eroticism vs intimacy, and humans projecting fantasies onto other human bodies. This series functions as a sentimental archive of the artist's departure from sex work in order to medically transition. PROXIMITY discusses transformation from the closet to visibility, and how trans bodies are often non consensually used as vehicles for cis consumption, realization, inspiration, exploitation, without compensation.

The Worlds Best Downhill Skiing - Alpine Meadows
"There is an energy at Alpine Meadows resort; a heartbeat. This mountain mesmerizes us with perfect powder which lingers days after a storm; grants moments of clarity on quiet traverses through snow covered pine trees; and converts visitors to locals with seven open bowls, gentle, top-to-bottom cruisers, and forested glades. Alpine Meadows mountain resort allows its visitors to feel unabashed joy harbored in every soul's inner child." (Skialpine.com)
Been there, done that?
Does Alpine Meadows have the worlds best downhill skiing?

What i believe is that anything that we all want to accomplish can be done. its simple, all we have to do is do it. Working hard and learning what you need to do helps to. When i thought i was finished with my sports carrer after some serious problems, i prayed and believed that i could make it and now i am working my way up to starting at a great college. Without beliefe that you can do your dreams, than you have lost already. so believe in your dreams and make them true. This i believe.

Juice Boxes
I gave in! Today I went and bought her the Capri Sun that she loves and she set down and drank two packets immediately with a smile on her face. She won! (btw I get the one that is 100% juice)
Usually I never give in to a child but when the child is non verbal and not drinking as much as I think she should, I give in. She always had wet diapers and gets lots of fluids through her food since it is all pureed with additional water or broth. But I worried about her.
We think she just likes the feel of the Capri sun packet. The other juice boxes have very narrow straws, although the sippy cup did have a larger straw. I actually used a straw from the Capri Sun to put in the other juice box, it did not work!
My funny girl and her preference for the most expensive juice box on the shelf LOL!
But I figure after all she's been through, she can have the darn things!!!!
Continued Rain......I love rain and even I am beginning to wonder about this! This morning I almost got stuck leaving our parking area. The pillows on the front porch all got mildew, and had to be thrown away. Our yard is full of water, since we have sod (thank you Habitat!) it doesn't look too bad till you start walking and the water covers your shoe! Hopefully all this rain will just cause the trees and grass to grow and get roots.
With the move, I've not done a garden, I miss it so much. I can't imagine how a garden would grow this year, it's perfect weather for one!!!!!
Well the countdown is really on, two weeks from today Steve leaves for college. Some of his high school friends are throwing him a good bye party tonight. We are having one the week he leaves too. (Even tho he'll be coming back a lot LOL) It's getting way too real! Yesterday we worked on emptying out the shed at our old house and it has plastic boxes of stuff....probably not the kind of stuff you need to go through when your first born is leaving home in a few weeks! I went through his baby box...oh my......seems like yesterday. We always had a sense of time passing us.....I can remember having a conversation when he was pre school about when he would start Kindergarten. Since we were sending him to private school, we could have allowed him to start a year earlier because of when his birthday fell. I was all for it UNTIL my husband reminded me that Steve would graduate a year sooner if we did that. I still remember him saying "we want him with us as long as possible" So we stuck with Steve going to school at the regular time for his birthday.
The old saying "the days are long, but the years are short" are true, extremely true!
Well hope you all are having a great weekend! Stay dry and enjoy your family!!

Regarding the juice boxes and you "giving in", I loved this! When you said after all she has been through, my heart just broke. Dear Sweet little Sarah is so blessed to have you as her Mom, don't worry about giving in, you are so right where your children are concerned, just continue to follow your heart; God will bless your decisions because of the love you show to His little ones. Thank you for your sharing your life with us.ReplyDelete

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Sports Nutrition and other Exercise topics.
People sometimes think that a good way to lose weight is to just skip meals. They believe that less calories consumed is automatically better. Well the thinking of 'less calories' is on the right track, but the skipping meals is mightily not. When meals are skipped the body begins to go into starvation mode, meaning that yes fat is taken and burned to give you energy, but the stomach also begins to slow down its digetsion process the longer you wait to eat between meals. The stomach then is not able to metabolize food (and gather nutrients from that food) as rapidly, meaning that the next time you eat your body will not metabolize the food as well as before (aka - burn as many calories). Do this once in a while, no problem. If you do this for days or quite often, your stomach funcion will begin to start dysfunctioning and you may gain some abdominal pains.
For best results for great metabolism and function of your stomach, eat small snacks/meals throughout the day often. Don't skip meals unless you have to.

FVE has reported earlier on the FAO initiative on 'Capacity Building to Implement Good Animal Welfare Practices' (see FVE News January 27, 2009). As a result of this initiative FAO has now launched a new internet portal on farm animal welfare.
This portal will serve as an information platform for individuals and organisations searching for the latest information about the welfare of farm animals.FAO identified that "Education, communication and capacity building are the key elements to promote the implementation of international standards and good practices on animal welfare." Therefore the online access to the latest information is supposed to help developing countries to improve livestock management as well as to devlop agribusinesses and open new opportunities for trade.

Those who thought that the Gucci show boasted a lot of gold had to think again when they saw what Cavalli had on offer. This collection dripped gold from the sequined, short, drop-waisted dresses to the richly embellished jackets. Statuesque outfits softened as pleats revealed flower-printed chiffon, which was a theme carried throughout the collection. Flapper dresses shimmied down the runway with pleats lined by black sequins.
The collection moved on to trendy animal print with tiger stripes and leopard spots, and then had a tropical revival with bright yellow, azure and psychedelics. The show was bling to the very last sequin and sometimes bordered on gaudy, but my oh my, was it spectacular!

There is a huge rise on Sugar Daddies and Sugar Babies relationship. There is an agreement between both parties who are involved. Some even may view it as a business relationship. Each person is in the relationship looking to benefit from it in different ways. Most sugar babies do have sex with their sugar daddies, but then there are some that do not engage in sexual activities. When meeting someone new it is very important to discuss what type of relationship you both want to have. Regardless of what type of relationship it turns out to be; here are 3 Tips On How To Treat Sugar Babies:
Tip #1: Manners/Respect: It is very important to respect your sugar baby and be a complete gentleman when taking her out for dinner.
Tip #2: Happiness: Keeping your sugar baby happy is also extremely important. When she is kept happy she has no reason to go out looking for someone else.
Tip #3: Social Life: Allow her to continue to go out with her friends every so often. Some sugar daddies end up playing the father role and by doing that it damages the sugar daddy and sugar baby relationship completely.
If you are able to follow these simple tips, then you and your sugar baby are going to be extremely happy and will have a long relationship.

The irregular Bangladeshis who were living in Saudi Arabia should return home to reenter the country through legal channels, said Bangladesh Ambassador in Riyadh Golam Moshi.
The Ambassador made the remarks while addressing an opinion-exchange meeting in Saudi city of Dammam on Thursday, said an official release.
He urged the Bangladeshis there not to tarnish Bangladesh's image by getting involved in illegal activities.
He said the Bangladesh mission would remain beside the Bangladeshi expatriates in their any need.
The envoy recalled the huge contributions of Bangladeshi expatriates to the country's economy through remittance inflow.
Moshi said the government has given permission to two new private banks to open branches in Saudi Arabia and these two banks would start operations there on completion of necessary process.
He informed that he was trying to introduce life insurance facilities for the expatriate Bangladeshis.
'Embassy is working hard so that the expatriate Bangladeshis do not face harassment to get passports,' he said.
Counselor (labour) at the Bangladesh Embassy M Sarwar Alam, First Secretary (labour) M Asaduzzaman, second secretary (press) M Fakhrul Islam and Sonali Bank deputy-general manager M Abdul Wahab, were, among others, spoke on the occasion.
According to Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training, over 28 lakh Bangladeshis have gone to work in KSA since 1976.
The KSA has become one of the main destination countries for Bangladeshi migrant workers, said BMET officials

School Board Filing litigation against the Florida Legislature:
It won't work and it's bad for students.
Scott Shine – 8/27/2017 ( Duval County School Board Member and FCSBM NE FL Mentor)
The Florida Legislature passed bill 7069 in its most recent session, a bill that has significant funding implications for public schools. Of most concern, it channels a portion of local property tax dollars to privately run charter schools. This sweeping legislation has both positive and negative impacts to local schools. But clearly, the most concerning is the reduction in funding for mainstream public schools like those I represent in the Jacksonville Beaches area.
School Boards across the state are considering filing litigation against the State of Florida alleging the new law created by the bill is unconstitutional. The problem with litigation as a remedy is that it simply will not work and will exacerbate the animosity that currently exists between public education and the Florida Legislature. I do not support litigation against the state, as I believe it is potentially injurious for students and will not provide the remedy to funding shortfalls that we now face in delivering public education.
The best predictor of the future is the past
We have been down the litigation road before. And, the result was failure. Several years ago, the legislature approved a law allowing parents to receive a tax payer funded financial "voucher" to be used in paying for tuition at a private school of their choice. Public school collectives and related industry groups sued the state on the basis that vouchers violated that state constitution. And, they won. But, the victory was short. Choice advocates redesigned the voucher program to, essentially, make it "litigation proof." The Florida Legislature passed a new law creating the Florida Tax Scholarship program; it too was challenged in the courts, but litigation failed.
From time-to-time, the legislature creates new laws that have constitutional defects. Litigation invariably results, and the legislature returns to the issue and repairs the law to meet constitutional standards. While this may be routine, public education advocates' legal challenges to the state further exacerbated the already strained relationship between those in control of the House and Senate. Clearly, there is an air of hostility between the education community and lawmakers in Tallahassee. While speaking truth to power may be a noble endeavor, it is foolhardy when it expands the divide between elected representatives: the result will bring more harm to local school board authority and public school students.
Public schools need funding now
The results of shortcomings in funding public education, compounded by the effects of HB 7069 have forced cuts in programs proven to advance academic achievement. When public school funding is adjusted for inflation, per student funding is down significantly. As I see it, the urgent issue is to restore school funding. By my estimate, an increase in state funding by 7% next year is needed, just for our school district to "hold its ground" in delivering services. What's more, leadership in the Florida Legislature are coming together now to create bills for the next legislative session with committee meetings starting in just a few months. Dropping the lawsuit bomb in the middle of this will do nothing but further damage the perception of public school leadership and dampen any appetite for cooperation and expanding school funding. While a lawsuit may be a noble and righteous action, public school funding will be jeopardized and students will pay the price. Simply, it is the wrong solution at the wrong time.
The concern of retaliation
It is important to know that nearly all the instructional funding for students in my district is allocated by the elected members of the Florida Legislature. In each yearly legislative session, Tallahassee lawmakers vote into law a state budget. This determines educational funding levels for each county in the state. This shows the critical nature of having a positive relationship with our state representatives.
People will ask why the Florida Legislature moved to affirm 7069? It is because of a commonly held view in Tallahassee that public school leadership and methods are largely responsible for lower performance in inner city schools. There is a further belief that migrating from public schools to privately run charter schools will remedy the problem. This belief system is built, in part, on the antagonistic relationship between state school boards and the legislature. A key action expanding this divide was the failed litigation between the Florida School Board Association (FSBA) and the state over the Florida Tax Scholarship program. In addition, some prominent school boards around the state have taken an anti-charter school posture with districts like Palm Beach uniformly voting against all charter school contracts. Understanding the legislature is supportive of expanding charter schools and sees groups like the FSBA as adversarial, 7069 is statutory a remedy through lawmaking designed to accelerate the proliferation of charter schools and disempower local school boards. This is happening while legitimate research points to other causes of lower performance.
(note, school board decisions to approve/deny a charter application are not discretionary functions and are akin to qusi-judicial decision. Applications are approved/denied strictly on statutory compliance and are subject to appeal.)
Litigation as an option
Litigation as an option is problematic. It can take years to resolve and you may lose. Once you play the lawsuit card, there is little hope of returning to the table for meaningful negotiation and diplomacy. Not to mention, litigation is by definition "adversarial review" and further opens the gap of distrust and hostility that is the causal factor of the dysfunctional relationship between education and the legislature.
Is there a legal defect in 7069? I can tell you firsthand what it is like to have a sponsored bill in the Florida Legislature. Among the largest hurdles to get across: getting your bill past the legislative staff lawyers. Their score card is graded by judicial appeals and they err on the side of caution when drafting and recommending bills. The litigation option needs to be framed by the fact that legislative branch lawyers are the best at what they do and there is rigorous due diligence before a bill is recommend as legally consistent with all the superior law that affects it.
Litigation is not cheap. Joining a lawsuit will likely cost in the tens of thousands of dollars and that money will come from the classroom. Filing a direct lawsuit will likely take hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the classroom. Statistically, the odds of prevailing in litigation of this type and achieving the desired results are remote, at best.
The conflict of democracy
Bill 7069 was enacted into law because the people you voted for went to Tallahassee and voted for it. As an elected official, it is very difficult for me to say "yes" to litigation against the state when all the members of the Florida House and Senate that represent my district voted in support of 7069. I believe in representative democracy. To disempower the elected officials that were elected by a majority of my constituents is inconsistent with the system of government I believe in. Most importantly, it disempowers and overrides the will of the voters I represent. This is a very important reason not to support litigation.
What needs to happen.
We need funding now to bring public schools back to the levels seen in the past: that funding comes by way of legislation that can only be passed by the state legislature. I am working with our elected representatives right now in the Florida Legislature to restore funding in the next session. It is critical that we "cease fire" with Tallahassee lawmakers and put an end to finger pointing and talk of litigation. Our public-school students are not benefiting from this hostility and we need to put emotions aside and deal with the realties and challenges that are present every day in our school system.
If it's really about students, it's not about a lawsuit. It's about putting our differences behind us and moving forward for our children. Let's support restoring funding levels for all students in the upcoming legislative session.
UPDATE: Duval School Board Voted to Join the Lawsuit (4-2 one absent) with Scott Shine and Ashley Smith Juarez casting "no" votes.

The now common practice isn't just limited to mere mortals, even celebrities are doing it! Just look at Jennifer Lawrence bombing on Sarah Jessica Parker at the 2013 Met Gala. She photobombs just like you! Only she does it while being rich, famous and ridiculously attractive. Some of her famous pals have gotten into the mix too.
5 Kermit the Frog
It isn't easy being green. It also isn't easy to upstage Lady Gaga. But Mr. Kermit the Frog has got a pretty solid handle on both. Yes, he's a felt puppet, but he's got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so we're going to count it. During a red carpet gathering for the MTV Video Music Awards, Kermit managed to pull off the impossible and steal the limelight from Lady Gaga in a drive-by photobombing! Hanging out the window of his limo with his mouth agape, the notorious swine-lover was likely less than thrilled to see Gaga's choice of footwear; boots made entirely of ham.
4 Daniel Craig
If you ever had any doubts about the acting versatility of Daniel Craig, this picture should pretty much squash those. One would assume that a man who plays the most dashing, debonair, confident, and overall friggin' awesome characters to grace the Silver Screen is pretty much always that cool. At least until this Taylor Swift selfie featuring an odd, mustachioed man in the background emerged. Yup, it's none other than Daniel Craig, who has transformed himself into one of the creepiest creeps to ever creep. The man's a chameleon.
3 Michael Cera
As if the world doesn't already love Michael Cera enough for his supremely uncomfortable contributions to Arrested Development, now he's solidified himself among the greatest celebrity photobombers of all time. The soft-spoken actor has popped up in several famous photobombs, begging the question of whether he's doing it on purpose or if he is actually awkward at a George Michael Bluth level and just accidentally wondering into people's pictures. In any case, look out behind you! There's a good chance Michael Cera is there.
2 Kelly Clarkson
The former American Idol makes this list for the sheer enthusiasm she shows while photobombing Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi at the Grammys. Sure, Kelly is a world famous singer with a successful career of her own, but that doesn't mean she can't go all "super-fan" in the background of a photo of other celebrities. Kelly looks like the girl who begged and begged until her record producer cousin finally agreed to let her come to the Grammys if she promised to be cool, then she promptly made him regret it wholeheartedly.
1 Simon Pegg
The genius comic actor from films like Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz pulled off the best celebri-bomb to date, by straight up owning Tom Cruise. During the red carpet premiere of Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, Pegg saw that once again, the film's leading man was getting all the attention. Why should Tom Cruise enjoy a photo shoot with two of his beautiful costars on his arm while Simon is left in the lurch? He shouldn't. So Simon did what any good bomber would; he jumped directly in front of Cruise and stole the spotlight.

Doctor Says More Americans Realize The Effectiveness of Remedies Found In Nature

A fever, stomach pains or a simple box of the sniffles can send mob rushing to the pharmacy for a drug to battle their symptoms.
But Mother Nature provides a number of medicinal plants with healing properties that in like manner can nurse you back to hale condition, a fact more Americans are arising to discover.
"The use of pertaining medicine, although traditional in many Eastern cultures, had been no other than a minor fad in Western medicine until recent decades," says Dr. Virender Sodhi, caster of the Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Medical Clinic which provides complementary and alternative medicine.
That turn has been shifting as a growing body of studies and research has demonstrated the furniture of traditional remedies on chronic diseases, of that kind as diabetes and hypertension, says Sodhi, former of the new guide, "Ayurvedic Herbs: The Comprehensive Resource during the term of Ayurvedic Healing Solutions".
That's not necessarily news to ailing people in other regions of the world, such as Asia and Africa. For centuries, they bring forth found relief through herbal medicines derived from shrubs, vines, trees and other plants, Sodhi says.
Here are four examples, a couple of which are recognizable by more good known names and purposes.
• Glycyrrhiza glabra. Most family would recognize this plant by its greater degree common name – licorice. It has been used with regard to centuries in the traditional and folk medicines of Asia and Europe to behave to ailments ranging from the common devoid of warmth to liver disease, Sodhi says. Most Americans well-adapted encountered licorice as children because the perfume root of the plant is used to raise candy. Licorice can cure more than a darling tooth, though. It can protect humbler classes from the influenza virus. In solitary abode; squalid line studies it was shown to resolve titer of the influenza virus by 90 percent and have strong immune modulation properties. It's some important ingredient in many herbal preparations, Sodhi said, especially for bronchial conditions. Because of its expectorant properties, powdered licorice has been used in opposition to centuries to treat coughs. Modern cough syrups often contain licorice extract.
• Piper nigrum. This flowering vine's berries, at what time still unripe, are used to furnish black pepper, but spicing up food isn't its only talent. Piper nigrum has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-spasmodic properties that esteem it ideal for treating digestive disorders, Sodhi says. It doesn't quiet there. Drug resistance is a major concern in cancer patients. Piper nigrum have power to reverse multiple drug resistance many cot and significantly increase the apoptotic general intent of many pharmaceutical drugs.
• Boswellia denticulated. Commonly known as Frankincense, this herb has commanding anti-inflammatory effects. Several patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis be favored with gone in to remission using a Boswellia plan. In brain tumor patients it has reduced cerebral edema ~ dint of. 75 percent. Sodhi has mentioned wrap studies of many patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and ulcerative colitis who went into stop.
• Bael. This fruit-scope tree indigenous to the hills and plains of central and southern India has numerous uses. The result promotes healthy digestion and is used medicinally to refreshment such conditions as diarrhea, dysentery and cholera. The leaves, roots and bark of Bael too have medicinal value. They help help acute bronchitis, heart palpitations, intermittent fevers and multiplied other ailments. Dr. Sodhi has observed 100 percent prosperity in treating patients of clostridium difficile, who did not be agreeable to to standard medical protocol of metronidazole (Flagyl), Dificid (fidaxomicin), or vanconycin.

Love For Sale!
Got milk?
Good morning and welcome back to the Valentine's Shack. I scribed a morning vibe that touched on our journey towards intelligent financial decisions and our task at hand in getting there. It spoke to the long, hard road and the potholes that exist, both in terms of the structural imbalances and a media oligopoly that defines "value" as a function of ratings and advertising revenue. Heck, I even delved into the disconnect between what we're told and what we see, a dichotomy that remains unspoken for as long as our screens are green.
But forget all that. It's Valentine's Day in the city of critters and the mood is one of mindful appreciation. It's in that vein and with that mojo that I'm gonna take our walk in a different direction. I strive to add value, as always, but as the Buzz & Banter will feature our "nuts & guts" financial stuff, allow me some creative license as we edge into the heart of the matter. It is, after all, Turnaround Tuesday in a big red way.
- The White House told us yesterday that we've officially turned the corner from economic recovery to sustained expansion. Verbal Viagra anyone? Remember, Minyans, honesty and communication is the basis of any healthy, longstanding relationship.
- I just gotta ask, Dick, have we finally found weapons of ass destruction?
- Home may be where the heart is but the Homies might be heartless today. With KB Homes offering further validation that real estate has cooled, HGX 260 is seemingly ensconced as a level of mass contention. With the index off a quick 10%, that might not be today's trade. But given the mania we've seen since this housing bubble began, it's something to noodle as we take stock of the consumer's role in future spending patterns.
- Meanwhile, at Heartbreak Hotel, I got stopped out of my short IBM trade yesterday near the opening (and just in time for the 2% downside reversal). We know looking back prohibits forward profits so I won't dwell on the corks or forks. Suffice to say that a crayon, rather than a pencil, might have kept me in the trade. So be it.
- Circling back to the White House, yesterday's economic review also informed us that the negative U.S savings rate (at post-depression lows) and record trade gap are no cause for alarm. "We don't save too little, other countries just save too much." Exsqueeze me? There's a serious gap in that logic. And I'm not talking about a Michael Strahan sized gap, I'm talking Bristol Hotel (room 515) size gap.
- And finally, as this morning's column is turning out to be a quickie (it is Valentine's Day), I wanna take a moment to share some love with three very special women. Grandma Dorothy, I love you more than words can express and I know Ruby is showering you with white light from above. Mother Carole, you're a superstar and I'm sending vibes to you in Santa Fe. And Queen Vanessa, thank you for being you and making me a better man. You're the greatest.
Good luck today.

Product DescriptionThe availability of this product is limited and subject to change.
Paying homage the sea, Douglas Laing's Rock Oyster is a Small Batch bottling created using the finest maritime Malts including those distilled on the esteemed Islands of Jura, Islay, Arran and Orkney. Bottled at 46.8% alcohol strength and traditionally without coloring or chill-filtration, this Small Batch bottling has a truly maritime and oceanic character of sea-salt, sweet peat, smoke, honey and pepper from its Islay Malts, and softened somewhat by the sweeter, barley-based impact from Arran, Jura and Orkney.
Wave soaked rocks and a salty oceanic fresh influence on the nose, running to an initially subtle palate that carries soft and rather sweet peat paralleled with smoke, honey, damp ash, liquorice and late pepper. All of what went before is neatly replicated in the moreish finish.

My kids have been spell-bound. Watching this one video over and over and over again. It's a video of a man with no arms and no legs, who fishes, swims, brushes his teeth…and LOVES life. His name is Nick Vijicic
My 8-year-old Kiara started out his video saying, "Oh, mom! I feel so sorry for him!" and ended saying, "I would want to marry someone like that. Do you want to marry him, mom? I mean, I like Dad, too…."
Nick's authentic love of God shines through him so penetratingly. You find yourself wanting whatever it is that makes him so whole, so complete, such a vibrant, fulfilled human being. After the initial shock, you don't even see a severely handicapped person. You see someone who has Christ living in him so deeply, that all that is seen is perfection.

Mistake with a ripple effect
I got the results of my CT scan and it looked clean which is great news. But I also found out that they had used something called "contrast" which contains iodine. I have been on a low iodine diet for a while now getting ready for radiation which is Oct 23rd. So now I get a call telling me they need to push back the radiation. They will call me to let me know when it will be but I am livid. One mistake and now my treatment is delayed by 2 months.

|Sunset views from Oia
In November 2014 we both decided that we needed a long break (two weeks) from life, it had been a tough few years. After scrolling on the internet one evening, we both saw the Greek island Santorini pop up on Google, seeing the pictures we knew instantly that we need to go there! We booked our two week holiday through Thomson Travel, pleasantly surprised by the low price, we booked it immediately.
|View of the pool area at Hotel Marianna
|View from the top of the hill in Parissa
|View from Fira
|The catamaran from the boat trip
- Tranquilo - it's very cheap, the salads are amazing for lunch but be warned the salads are for two people, they have gluten free meals and amazing smoothies. Highly recommend for a light lunch. Roughly 15 euros for two people
- Apollon Restaurant - staff were super nice, the house white wine is delicious and they have everything on the menu, from Greek to English to European food. Roughly 25 - 30 euros for two people.
- Volcano Taverna - mixed grill for two was 25 euros, not only do you get the mixed grill but you also get a greek salad and wine. I mean what more could you want? View of the sea? They have that too. Roughly 25 euros for two people
*Please note with most Greek restaurants the portions are very big*
|Donkeys in Fira
If you are heading to the Island of Santorini, I hope you have a great time. Let me know if you have any recommendations as we are planning a trip back there next year.

The hardest part of the write-revise-submit-write-revise-submit cycle, for me anyway, is the post submission malaise.
When I'm writing, I'm fired with enthusiasm – either for the draft in hand, or for whatever shiny new idea I have had to put aside until it's finished. Either way, I'm plugging on, getting words on the page, clocking up the word count in the relevant column of my tracking spreadsheet. I'm making progress.
When I'm editing, there's a growing stack of marked up pages in front of me, testament to how hard I'm working, how much closer I'm getting to my goal. And when I'm typing in my changes, there's the even better messy pile of finished pages, ready to be turned into drawing paper for my daughter. Visible progress, once again.
Even when I'm submitting, there's the tidy folder of emails, or the stack of mail for the post office. There's the satisfaction – and the fear – of knowing that my words are going to be read by people I've never met, and hoping that they like them.
And then, there's the sitting back and waiting to hear. This is the bit I'm not very good at.
I know, of course, that the best thing to do is get stuck into a new project, to just keep working. Takes the mind off the waiting, and means that if everyone says "no" there's something new to send out later. It keeps the cycle going.
But it's just so hard. My brain just whispers "Why are you bothering?" every time I sit down at my desk. "If they all reject the last one, do you really want to go through all this again?" it says. "Isn't it time to just give up, while you still have time to find a new dream?"
And that tends to be the one thing that jerks me back into action. I don't have another dream, and I don't want to try to find one – writing is it for me. So even if every single agent on my submission list rejects Sea Fever, I need to have a new project in hand, ready to keep the cycle going.
Write, revise, submit and repeat. It's the only way I'm ever going to become a published author. And that dream is the only thing that shakes off the post submission malaise, for me.
What works for you?

God has never been in a position of helplessness. Almighty God is in charge of the affairs of this universe. He may use animals, insects, angels, even machines, to further the cause of righteousness. However, He delights to use men. God's men and women are the primary instruments He uses to carry out His will in this age. God may use the serpent and the hornet, the wind and the earthquake; however, God's man is His unique choice for accomplishing His purpose.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake? Would you consider at least
one year of Bible college to be used as an instrument in God's hand.
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence." – 1 Corinthians 1:26-30.
We are living in a dark world; night is upon us. It is almost impossible to find our way. Truth lies in the street. Moral standards are disdained. I am old enough to remember when the west called the Soviet Union a "godless nation." I read in the news recently that Russia is now describing North America in those exact terms!
It seems like we are standing at the crossroads of all history. The darkness of Egypt was no greater than ours—and yet, in Egypt's night, God had His watchman. Will you be one? Would you consider at least one year of Bible college training to find God's will for your life?
It's time for serious young people of this generation to step up to the plate! The prophet Isaiah, speaking to a complacent generation that is very similar to our own, said, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come" – Isaiah 21:11, 12).
Ezekiel was commissioned a watchman: "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me" – Ezekiel 3:17. God had his man in that hour of spiritual darkness. What about you in this day?
Even if you are on the right track you will
get run over if you just sit there.
No one can afford to ignore their place in God's plan for their life. Why don't you give God at least one year of Bible college and watch Him direct your steps.

Baby Aubrey
What better way to kick off the new year than with some adorable photos taken from my last Newborn shoot! Now that the holidays have wound down I am finally able to get everything all caught up and ready to go! Behold the cuteness of Miss Aubrey Lynn! While she's undeniably adorable this little lady never fully fell asleep which made things a little more difficult to work with, but none the less we were able to walk away with some great photos! I hope you enjoy her cuteness just as much as I have!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in and have a look! I can't wait to see what a beauty she's going to grow up to be.... she's already off to a great start!

This is another one of my poems that I started on a year ago & never finished. Well, now it is...LOL:
Didn't pay attention to the signs,
But they were right in your face.
Yet you chose not to embrace,
Help keep our love in its place.
Thought you could treat me like shit!
Acting like you're that deal.
Not caring how I would feel,
Making wounds that couldn't be healed.
The sex, it used to be fun
Thought you couldn't be outdone.
I'd rather be watching reruns.
'Cause now it can't even get the job done.
Blamed it on overkill from work.
Didn't think I saw you smirk.
Guess your job was pretty physical,
Working as a HOEtel clerk!
Fucking all kinds of chicks,
Surprised you never burnt ya dick!
Phone full of naked pics...
Heard you were even making flicks!
Can't believe all the drama,
Bringin home mad conflicts!
I'll do u like Jack Sparrow,
and give you the "deep six"!
I just won't take anymore!
Get gone! – Just walk out the door!
And don't worry about your shit,
I've already bleached & tore.
I'll be just fine moving on.
It's you I can't depend upon.
Me – you won't have to look for,
Love doesn't live here anymore….

Let me just tell you, my piece looked EXACTLY like this one. It was HUGE!!!!! My piece was a lot bigger than the normal size pieces there-I only ate half of it which is not normal for me, I usually finish the whole thing...
So did you watch the first episode of the Biggest Loser? Wow, they have their biggest contestant yet, Shay-30 years old (the girl on the far right) on there weighing in at 476lbs! I can't wait to see her lose all that weight! I know she'll do it and look great! Last night she lost 17 pounds! Keep goin' girl! I'm glad Julio stayed on-he has kids and I think Alexandra can do it at home, she's got the fire in her!
The funny part about watching this, we both came home COMPLETELY stuffed-we turned on the Biggest Loser and saw just how big those people were... we both got down on the floor and started doing push-ups and sit-ups. We felt so guilty from eating so much. We were crackin' up at ourselves!!! Sedona came over there and sat on my stomach to make me work harder-you know how Jillian will sit on people to make them work harder, yeah that was so Sedona!!
Okay, that's it for now, I got more to blog about but this whole making my posts shorter isn't helping any!!

Members of the Sterling VFW Post 3541 gathered Wednesday night to recognize the top entries in the annual Patriot's Pen and Voice of Democracy contests.
Two eighth graders from Merino School were present to read their essays on "The America I Believe In." Faith Trenkle and Nicole Edgar are both students in Cathleen Miller's class. Faith received first place in the contest, and Edgar was awarded second place. Third place went to Bree Hunker, a seventh grader at Sterling Middle School, who was not in attendance at the banquet.
The Patriot's Pen is an essay contest open to students in grades 6-8.Participants write a 300- to 400-word essay on the patriotic theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief.
Winner of the Voice of Democracy audio-essay program, open to students in grades 9-12, was Andrew Littlefield, who was unable to attend the banquet. This year's theme is "My Responsibility to America."
As first place winners, Faith and Andrew qualified for the District 4 Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen contests. The top three entries at the District level will be recognized at a banquet next month, to be held at the Sterling Post.
Faith Trenkle — First Place Essay
The America I believe in has been made possible by the brave men and women who have fought and continue to fight for our country. The America I believe in is filled with hard working families who pursue and live the American dream. The America I believe in is a place where people can happily express themselves, stand for what is right, and receive the respect and honor that they deserve.
A massive belief I have about America is that we can freely be who we want to be. As an American I can safely express my thoughts and feelings. Examples of this include being free to choose my religion, my beliefs about gay marriage, who to vote for, and being happy in my own skin.
Another one of the core believes about America that I also believe in, is being able to decide what is important and take a stand for it. I believe that Americans actually have a responsibility to make decisions and choices. Arguments, protests, difference of opinions, and disagreements are part of human nature, and as Americans, we can pick and choose our battles, take a side, and speak up and stand up.
Finally, the America I believe in provides equal rights for each and every one of us. I feel very strongly about equality and freedom, and I believe in the America where people can be treated with respect and dignity, where people are accepted no matter their gender, sexual attraction, race or religion. I believe in the America where people are seen as just that, people.
America is more than just red, white, and blue. It's the people fighting for our country, it's the people standing up for what is right, it's the fight for freedom and equality, and it's the people expressing themselves as who they want to be. To me, America is the laughter of people being happy, the ringing sound of success, and most importantly, the echoing reminder of freedom and equality for all.
Nicole Edgar — Second place essay
"The America I Believe In", five simple words filled with so much meaning. Five little words yet many possibilities. But what does it mean to me? Four hundred words won't do justice to everything important, so I'll summarize and tell you what I believe.
Respect and Love, one of the most important things that come to mind when I think of our beloved U.S.A. I believe that soldiers that served our country in the military deserve just as much recognition and respect as the National Anthem or our country's flag. We need to realize that what they have done is no easy task, that they risked their lives for our freedom. Though we respect the veterans, we love and cherish our family and friends even more. Whether they're moms and dads, or even best friends, we adore them all in unique ways. Without my family, my life would be desolate and empty, that is why I thank God for them every day.
When I say "God Bless America," I mean it. He created this country, more importantly this world, and He did it for a reason. He blessed us with our America, and all the magnificent things that came with it, and I treasure it all. If we didn't have America, what would we be? Slaves? Probably not even alive? One more reason to thank our God even more!
When I'm at a sporting event, someone often sings the National Anthem, and I love it! The words just mean so much of how the people that fought for our freedom were triumphant. It bugs me though when people don't respect the song or flag. We're supposed to stand proud with our right hand over our hear. I always do, and it makes me wonder, "What if that had been me on the battlefield? What if I just watched my best friend die?", and that makes me realize that the veterans truly are American heroes.
I could write pages and pages of what America means to me, but right now, I'll summarize with this: "The America I Believe In" isn't just a simple phrase I disregard, it's something I strongly believe in and I hope you do too. This is our home. People fought for it, so now we are going to keep it, and cherish it forever.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
Age changes of auto-fluorescence intensities of six regions of buccolingual and longitudinal directions in human dentin were studied using a time-resolved fluorescence microphotometer. Static measurement mode showed that fluorescence intensity increased with aging in the all regions. Wavelength of the maximum fluorescence and full width of half maximum of fluorescence spectrum, however, did not change ; the values of the former and the latter were around 440nm and about 100nm, respectively, in the all regions of all teeth studied. The dynamic mode suggested that the auto-fluorescence of 440nm wavelength had at least three fluorescent components with different fluorescence decay times, fast, intermediate and slow. Fluorescence intensities of these components increased with aging in the six regions ; the intensity of the fast component showed an increase in proportion to aging after 18 years old, while in the other two components, the increasing rate of fluorescence intensities decreased at old aged teeth. Age changes of ratios of intensities of the three components to the static fluorescent intensities were distinguishable among the regions of longitudinal direction ; the ratio of the fast component increased with aging in the coronal dentin, while in the root apex dentin, the ratio of the slow one decreased. A tendency intermediate between the former two regions was seen in the cervical dentin. The above results showed that patterns of age changes were different in the longitudinal direction, from which it was inferred that factors affecting age changes were different between the coronal and root apex dentins.

Nestled directly on the San Andreas Fault is the Devil's Punchbowl. Per Wikipedia, "The peculiar uptilted rock formations found in the area are layers of sedimentary rocks formed long ago by water depositing loose material in horizontal layers. Later they were squeezed into their present, steeply tilted form by ongoing uplift action along the Punchbowl and Pinyon Faults and by pressures along the San Andreas Fault. The Punchbowl Fault is to the south of the rock formation, while the Pinyon and San Andreas Faults are to the north."
We arrived just before sunrise and hiked a short, easy trail in search of the right shots. I didn't find too much in the way of interesting larger views, so I concentrated on shooting some of the interesting trees, dead wood and cactus, paying close attention to the rising sun and using it to my advantage. I'm quite pleased with these three shots.
