The Boy pointed to Japan on the map we have next to the menu board, and declared that this week's waffles should be inspired by Japan. Since I wasn't going to make sushi waffles, I decided on...
Matcha Waffles with Plum Ginger Whipped Cream
So, they were pretty simple. To the waffle batter, I added a tablespoon of Republic of Tea Matcha powder. The batter was beautifully green, but the waffles browned in the waffle iron, so I broke off a piece of the waffle to show the pretty green interior.
The flavor was subtle and lovely. You could add some more Matcha powder if you wanted a more pronounced flavor.
For the whipped cream, I rehydrated some dried plums in water with a few slices of ginger. Once they were entirely rehydrated (I left them for several hours, but they were probably done much sooner than that), I pureed them along with the ginger (draining off the water), and then folded them into some fresh whipped cream, adding a little sugar to taste. I topped with a few slices of fresh plum (there was only one plum at the store! I snatched it up).
Overall, a nice waffle. The kids really enjoyed the Matcha, and that makes me happy. I'll be using it some more in baking - I've been meaning to get it for a while and am happy to have a good stock now.
Next week, The Boy has declared that we should have Chilean waffles... wonder what I'll come up with for that!

Lately God has been reminding me of something, and I thought it might be helpful for you all too… and since our Bright Lights group isn't meeting right now, I thought I'd share it with you all here. 🙂
Recently, I've been focusing on serving God right where I am, and also on the importance of being faithful in the little things. It's not easy–I tend to think that I could serve God more if I was in another country or something like that, and that I want to do big, "important" things. It's hard to remember, sometimes, that God uses the little things to prepare us for bigger things–and that "little is much when God is in it." But when I do remember, everything is so much better.
I know that a lot of you probably don't feel like you can really make much difference where you are–you're usually just at home, doing school and chores or hanging out with friends. You probably don't feel like you're doing anything big, anything world changing. You might even think you're too young to serve God, too young to make a difference.
But you're not. The same God that works in older people works in you! In fact, you actually have an advantage over adults in a lot of ways–you have more time, possibly more faith, and people will often be more open to a young girl witnessing to them than to an adult.
I want to tell you a secret: it's the people who joyfully serve God in the small things, in the things that no one sees, that He often uses most powerfully. "He that is faithful in little will be faithful in much."
He will build character in you through these things, if you are willing to yield to Him and ask Him to. We really never know how God will multiply our efforts–even one small act of kindness could change someone's life. I encourage you to embrace this time of "little things" in your life–and realize that, actually, all of life is made up of little things. Even if God calls you to some kind of ministry that the world would call "important", it will still be full of the daily things–dishes and laundry and little annoying happenings.
How you respond to those things now will make a great deal of difference in the future, even eternity. And with your friends and siblings, you never know–you could make all the difference in their life by encouraging them when they are down, praying for them when they are struggling, listening when they need someone to talk to, and pointing them to God always.
Don't be discouraged if you don't see how God is using you or how He is working. He is and He will, and it is and will be "little" and hard and awesome. 'Cause He's just like that.
Just keep pressing on right where you are, keep asking for His help, keep loving Him more, and you'll see, someday, what it was all about. 🙂 I am praying for you! Feel free to email me or talk to me at church, and let me know how I can help and how I can pray. 🙂
Also–here's a blog post I wrote a long time ago that talks about this more:
It's the Little Things that Count
Making your bed. Brushing your teeth. Reading your Bible. Praying. Dishes.
All of those things are so simple… and yet– so difficult. Why? What makes doing the dishes so difficult? What makes those little, daily task so hard? Well, one of the main reasons is that they never get done. The dishes don't stay washed. You unmake your bed every night. These small things never stay done. It is frustrating. Another reason is that it doesn't seem to make a difference, and no one really notices.
So why bother? Why even do them? Who cares if your bed is made or not? Will it really make a difference in eternity?? Does it really make that much difference whether or not you read your Bible every day? Maybe it's all pointless. Maybe we should just quit. That's it! Let's just quit!
No, wait. Maybe, just maybe, there is a reason for these seemingly insignificant, definitely hard daily tasks.
What, you ask, is the reason? Why should we do these things?
I'm glad you asked. 😉
The reason, the purpose, of doing small hard things faithfully, is that it builds character (oh, yes, and skills). That's what it all comes down to.
Small hard things build perseverance, self-control, faithfulness, integrity and patience. And these are the things that really matter, the things that won't fade away.
Those little things that we do daily are what life is made up of. Think about it: Those people who are amazing at piano, who are fantastic at basketball… they didn't just wake up one day with those talents. You won't ever hear people say, "Oh wow! I didn't know I could play Für Elise!" Or, "Look mom! I've never played basketball before, but I keep making this shot from half court!!"
Those things take many small, boring, repetitious actions to develop them into something great.
What we do everyday is who we really are. All those big dreams and goals we have are made up of little things that we must do one at a time, day by day. Books are written one letter at a time. Mountains are climbed one step at a time.
So don't be discouraged if your life seems made up of little, "unimportant" things. Realize that you can serve God in them. Remember that this is a beautiful chance to build solid, lasting character. Do everything you do to the glory of God.
(By the way, all that "character" really means is your habitual response to everyday things. For instance, if you respond kindly to your little brother most of the time, you are a kind person.)

I keep knitting and knitting and knitting on the sleeves of the cardigan and I am still at the same place. Where does all the the knitting go? I still have about 4" to go so maybe I can actually finish those tonight. Knitting group is Tuesday night so I would like to have at least one of the sweaters finished. I also need to pick-up a bunch of books on hold at the library so it's a good thing that the meeting is Tuesday.
I did get Ad. to pick up C.'s poncho last Thursday. All I wanted to do was get rid of it since I finished it as I said I would. She wouldn't even ask for it so I don't know if she wanted it or not. I assume that she did since she paid for the yarn for it. I did it and now it's out of my hands so my job is done. Woohoo.
This week I am going to my lys and get another pair of Addi Turbo's so I can knit my vest. I washed my vest made out of Homespun and it came out pretty well. It tended to tighten up the "bloom" on it so maybe it will hold up better than I thought. But after the few skeins that I have I won't be using it again. I just don't like how it wears.
Okay, off to knit on the ever elusive sleeves and maybe I'll find all those inches of knitting. Wish me luck.

American Heroes by Oliver North
Tags: Social and Religious Issues, Contemporary Social Issues, Hardback, Book
Cross Rhythms Product Code: 79979
Product Format: Book
Binding: Hardback
Pages: 304
Publisher: Nova Publishing
Cat. Code: 9780805449532
Release Date: 01 Jun 2009
A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post best seller, now available with a new chapter on events in Afghanistan plus an exclusive online access code for three downloadable episodes of War Stories!
What is a hero? Oliver North says, "Real heroes are selfless. Those who serve America in harm's way in the war against radical Islam have that quality in abundance. And so do their families and loved ones at home. Yet, they rarely get the attention or coverage they deserve . . . I never cease to be amazed at the self-discipline of these brave young Americans. They can endure the adrenaline-pumping violence of enemy engagement, and then, just minutes later, help school children get safely to their classes . . . No nation--ours included--has ever had a military force better than the one we have today."
In American Heroes, North offers an inspiring, first-hand account of the extraordinary men and women defending America against radical Islamic terror from his perspective as a forty year member of the United States military, a member of the National Security Council staff and serving as the U.S. counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. This patriotic book also pulls in the very latest reports and exclusive full-colour photographs from War Stories, the award-winning FOX News Channel series hosted by North.

When a clinic or service provider has both an ATTENDANCE POLICY and a DON'T-BRING-YOUR-SICK-CHILD POLICY, which gets the higher priority?
Apparently, the service provider (clinic) believes the attendance policy does. We've been discharged from occupational therapy due to absences because of illness.
The policies put all of us, families and services providers, between a rock and a hard place.

Here are my notes from Robert Morris talk titled: MY FRIEND THE HOLY SPIRIT – Is He pentecostal?
Charismatic ::
- Charis = grace
- MA = gift
You never earn a gift, and you can not earn grace.
- The instant enablement of the Holy Spirit in the life of any believer is to exercise a gift for the EDIFICATION of others.
- Manifest = to make known
- There is no such thing as a "Gift of discernment". Usually those who say they have this gift really have a critical spirit, which is judgement, not grace
- We can receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit but they are not ours, we just are able to use them as HE wills.
- Prophecy is intended to encourage. Corrective prophecy is just a person trying to correct something on their own, using Gods weight to manipulate the situation.
- Prophecy is for exhortation, edification and comfort.
- To encourage is to put COURAGE into someone
- Tongues in front of non-believers is weird. It does not encourage, it creates questions and leaves people confused.
- "I would rather you prophecy than speak in tongues so that people will be edified, encouraged, strengthened, and built up." – Robert Morris

Memo to the Hartford schools' board of trustees:
Don't worry about racial politics. Find the best people you can to run the system, regardless of race, creed or place of national origin, and the vast majority of Hartford parents will support you.
Memo to the Hartford schools' board of trustees:
Don't worry about racial politics. Find the best people you can to run the system, regardless of race, creed or place of national origin, and the vast majority of Hartford parents will support you.
The state-appointed trustees inherited Superintendent Patricia Daniel, who was not up to the job. They sent her packing last month.
Then they created the position of chief administrative officer to run the fiscal and other noneducational aspects of the system, freeing the superintendent to concentrate on classroom improvements. So far, so good.
But the board pulled the trigger too quickly. It named Benjamin Dixon, deputy State education commissioner, interim superintendent and Ana-Maria Garcia, a YWCA executive and member of the board of trustees, as chief administrative officer.
Neither candidate was thoroughly evaluated, and both should have been. The Harvard- trained Dixon might have been an excellent choice. But after just 16 days in the job, he announced he had been selected for a college position in Virginia, and would leave in August.
Garcia is a good soul, personable and energetic. She has done some solid work on the board of trustees. But as was quickly revealed, her personal finances are in disarray. Also, a background check would have suggested her skills are not an exact fit with the job.
Although she has been an agency head, she doesn't have the background in either finance or accounting that such a post demands.
One reason the trustees made these choices, I believe, was racial politics. Dixon is African American and Garcia is Hispanic.
Bulletin just in:
You don't have to do this any more. We've pretty much gotten past it. The reason more than 80 percent of voters in the North End voted for Mayor Mike Peters is they thought he offered the best chance for competent governance. That's what people want in city hall, and in the schools.
Look around the country. Voters are pulling the lever for efficient services and low taxes, not color. Same with schools. Bridgeport has a superintendent, James Connelly, who is the curse of diversity -- a white male. But they let him keep the job because he's doing it well, running a good system. Most Hartford parents would welcome Connelly to Hartford, as they would a person with Dixon's credentials. They want good schools, and don't care if the person who delivers them is black, white, blue or chartreuse.
They know that diversity for its own sake is no longer pressing because local government does reflect the community reasonably well. Minorities are making their way in city government, as white ethnics did before them.
The trustees may have been misled by a small, but loud group of race hustlers who created a ruckus when Daniel was canned. They are the same ones who foisted Daniel on Hartford because she is black.
The group -- the Rev. Nora Wyatt et al -- have played the race card so often the spots have worn off. They don't speak for parents, the PTAs and groups such as the Hartford Parents Network do.
People who claim to speak for ``the community'' usually don't.
Getting Hartford's schools back on track calls for the best and brightest, regardless of what wrapper they come in.

Saint Xavier University (SXU) is proud to have a student body made up of individuals who dream big. With a wide variety of courses and on-campus resources, students have the opportunity to explore career paths that aid them in discovering what they will do post-graduation. While some find the idea of following their dreams to be incredibly daunting, junior biology pre-health major and chemistry minor Frank Raymond welcomes the challenge.
"After graduation, I plan on attending medical school and becoming a hematologist oncologist (blood cancer doctor)," said Raymond. "My family has gone through some struggles with leukemia, and I know that I have been given a great opportunity to help people in the future with similar ailments."
He knows that the journey ahead will not be easy, but feels that the work he will be able to do will be worth it in the long-run. Raymond has always dreamed of working in the medical field and hopes that SXU can continue to facilitate that passion.
With a bit of guidance from his aunt, SXU's Dr. Stacie Raymond, D.C., he made the decision to join the SXU community. A transfer student, Raymond chose to attend SXU because of the biology pre-health program. The kind faculty and welcoming student body were standouts to him.
"Every faculty member I've spoken with is so helpful and understanding," said Raymond. "They're passionate about their positions and want to help the students succeed. Following suit, the students are also in this journey through college together."
During his short time at SXU Raymond has been on the Dean's List and was even named the biological honor society's (Tri Beta's) President, a title he is undoubtedly proud to possess. He has also made lifelong friends within the biology department and beyond. Although he was initially unsure if he would enjoy his time at SXU, Raymond is confident that he made the right decision.
"In my very first class here, students to the left and right of me noticed that I was new and reached out to me," said Raymond. "They made me feel like part of the SXU family, which is something you don't always get at bigger schools."
Outside of his many academic accomplishments Raymond also happens to be an expert when it comes to playing pool. This skill has helped fuel his competitive nature, pushing him to reach any goal he sets out to accomplish.
"It started as a fun hobby for me, but I was lucky enough to meet some great people who taught me a few things and now I compete on a national level," said Raymond.
With a drive towards success and the mindset of a champion, there is no doubt that Raymond has a bright future ahead of him.
"For me, my passion is serving those with blood cancers and hopefully saving their lives," said Raymond. "I challenge everyone reading this to think deeply about their passions, and how they can help others."
Thank you, Frank! SXU cannot wait to see where your career in the medical field will take you!

Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge GRAC21-
Glenda is at it again with a challenge for the week. This week's "special" is to create a card without patterned paper. I'm hoping my A Muse Astro flower do it myself background doesn't count as patterned paper! A Muse Blossom with bird from their first A Muse Bouche' release is my image this week. Amuse is releasing their 2nd A Muse Bouche' this week with "Newly Hatched." You guessed it, celebrating babies and other Spring things. It made me think pink and blue so I had to use these papers!

The One Item You Need to Fake a Slimmer Waist
Style du Monde
As of late, we have noticed a trend bubbling up—tube tops—that is hard to ignore. This style of top is nothing new, and right about now you are probably reflecting on your 13-year-old self wearing nothing but a tube top, jean shorts, and jelly sandals (ah, the good life). While that was no doubt a special time in your childhood, you have since matured and so has the tube top.
Street style stars and retailers are showing us that wearing a tube top on top of another shirt—button-downs, T-shirts, sweaters, you name it—is officially a thing. The best part about this styling trick is that it instantly slims down your waist, acting almost like a belt would. We recommend buying these tops in materials that air on the fitted side to get the most out of their magical powers. Ahead, shop the tube tops we think will make you look like your slimmest self, with no exercise needed.
Keep reading to shop the trend that is officially back.

Good morning gentlemen,
I email all three of you together because two of you didn't answer my question when I met you at the housing meeting in Camden last night. The answers I did receive struck fear into my heart.
Which party will give my son and I a council flat when we are evicted from our temporary accommodation this summer?
The Green party did not know (I would have included him but I didn't catch his name), just as I do not know.
Libdem, you mentioned Pathways, which is private renting. This next flat will be my son's fourth home. I worked when he was born, when I had a partner. I worked before he was born and was able to pay my rent, my council tax, my bills, by myself. The private sector is not the best option for us. However your party is trying to help us and thank you for answering my question and asking me for my details.
Labour, you mentioned the 18,000 people on the waiting list. It is not a crisis in our times, it is a catastrophe. However, 18,000 people were not present last night and to the best of my knowledge, no single parents who are statutory homeless (just so you all know, under the private rental scheme I would still consider myself 'homeless' as my tenancy would still be insecure and I would still have to bid, week in, week out for a secure, affordable home as I have been doing for the past six years). I was there last night, my son was there. What will happen to us?
Tory, I didn't catch your answer at all. I don't think you gave one but I could be wrong.
I need to know. The future of my child is at stake here. He is in a good school and I don't want to see him torn away from there. He is also seven years old, an age where he can articulate the stress he picks up from me. If he picks up an asbo when he's 12 years old you can blame me all you like, but I am trying my best here.
I was pleased to meet you all, I look forward to your answers.
Kind regards
The Libdem replied almost immediately saying he appreciated how difficult it was for me and he'd see what he could do if he was re-elected.
I don't know if Labour and Tory will answer but I hope they do.
I'd thought of saying "does my vote matter to you?" but forgot. Oh well, I think I know the answer anyway.....

We use to give out these little packs with RGP lenses back then (when RGPs were actually 'hard' and no one had thought of making them soft) and I don't really know why we stopped. They are really quite handy for storing lenses provided you replace the sucker and the actual plastic case regularly to keep things clean. This lady assured me that the lenses, the case and the sucker were all original 1970s.
We have a lot of patients who have been with us since the 1970s and still a few who have been going even longer since 1960s and still have many lens wearing years ahead. We always enjoy seeing any eye related memorabilia so bring it with you to your next appointment.
PS. This patient now wears soft lenses

Australia announced it would welcome 18,750 people seeking protection after being displaced by the conflict in war-torn Syria and Iraq.
(Courtesy of the European Space Agency) The situation for human beings on Mars is dire, and not just because the red planet's atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and the average temperature is -81 degrees.
The arrests by Houston's Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance capped a three-year investigation into the ring, which authorities said started operating here in 1999. The indictment details the evolution of the ring over more than a decade, charging that it started out recruiting girls and women from Mexico with promises of work in restaurants in the U.
The bar had been targeted by federal authorities previously, as early as 2004, records show, after an underage girl escaped from the control of smugglers and told authorities she was forced into prostitution at several bars, including La Costeñita. After a 2005 raid of the bars on Clinton Drive, Rojas was deported to Mexico, records show, but she found her way back to the U. S., but instead forced them into prostitution to work off smuggling fees.
But the courageous Yazidi teenager is ready for a new beginning.
Now 18, Nihad is freed from the brutal rule of ISIS and seeking to relocate to Australia with her family.

Tim was home for this week, so we took the chance to get to Eau Claire and do a little house hunting. There were some houses that we'd seen on the internet, so we called a realtor and went to see.
The house that I loved the pix of was one with arched doorways and a covered porch. It was so cute from the pictures. When we got there, though it was a teeny tiny little place, but half a block from the school where Rugby would've gone. The yard was tiny...too tiny to even play in for the kids.
The next house was on Germania...It was a mess. I'm not talking that she left it go a few days....we're talking 50 YEARS of crap laying all over the place. There was a trap door to get to the basement. One of the rooms upstairs was caulked shut for some unknown reason. There was literally a 3 foor trail through the house so that you could walk. There was piles of stuff waist deep all over. The packaged food on the cupboards was piled from the countertop to the cupboards. I couldn't even tell you what color the countertop was. The washer and dryer were in the kitchen (which was HUGE), but there was piles and piles of clothes on top of them. YUCK! And it was on a busy street.
The next one we went to was Univeristy housing that we'd have boughten to use as a rental property. The kids that lived there were going to be having a party shortly after we got there, so they were upset that we were there and we didn't get to look around too much. I don't think that you'd ever get the incense smell out of that place, though.
The other house that we looked at was alright....except for the wavy kitchen floor. It was solid to walk on, but was having major issues.
We didn't have time to get to the house in Fairchild that was unfinished.
Our realtor was EXTREMELY honest with us and very helpful. He told us a few of the houses weren't worth what they were asking and what he thought they should be going for. He's looking for some more properties for us to look at next time we go out there.
In any case, it was a wonderful weekend alone with Tim. Terry, the realtor, used to own a couple of restaurants in the area, so he was able to tell us about a few places that had good food and the one place that we tried was AWESOME! It was cajun cuisine and yummy. Not usually my cup of tea, since I get heartburn so easy, but it was good and Tim really enjoys it so we went. It was called Stella Blues. Then we went to Coldstone for ice cream, spent the rest of the night in the hotel watching TV cuz we were both too full and tired to do anything else. LOL. The boys spent the day Friday with Joel and Angie and spent the night by Grandpa and Grandma B and they had a blast! Had to have.....Trudy needed to wash their clothes, so it must've been a good time.
Tim's back on the road tonight, also. On his was to North Platte, Nebraska for a 2 week reset of a Menards. The boys were less than thrilled that Daddy had to leave again so soon....they were getting pretty used to having him around again. Tim's got 95% of all the trim work done on the inside of the house, so we are that much closer to putting the house up for sale. I have some packing that needs to get done to make things "roomy" around here. I think I need to get a dumpster and just start pitching stuff in.
Alrighty, I should get going. More later.

The Herald Sun reports that "[a]fter enduring a nearly three-year wait, James C. Dever may be one step closer to pounding the gavel in North Carolina's Eastern District Federal Court.
The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to vote on Dever's nomination for district judge Thursday. A committee spokesman said he expects the nomination to be approved.
Dever's name would then go to the Senate floor for final approval. North Carolina Sens. Richard Burr and Elizabeth Dole, both Republicans, said Tuesday they support Dever, currently a magistrate in the Eastern District."
Personally, I think we need more Carolina grads on the bench, but that's probably just the Tar Heel in me. Then again, Denver will be getting an Article III appointment and Duke only has three national championships, so I guess there is a certain symmetry in the situation.

No doubt as an Atlanta business owner you already know social media is HUGE, regardless of whether your company participates or not. What do you hear on nearly every newscast each day? 'Like' us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. Why is this? It's simple – it works, and in more ways than you may realize. Is it worth the time and effort to figure it all out – the setup, what and when to post, etc.? You bet it is. Our social media marketing pros have a few tips to make it easier and help you understand why it's so vital to the success of your business online.
First of all, make sure your posts are visual. No doubt you already know the importance of engaging content, however adding a visual element attracts even more attention. You probably don't know it but when compared to the average posts, those with photos on Facebook generate over 50% more Likes! So, how do you go about it? It's simple, really.
Find attention grabbing images that are relevant to your content and post them on whichever social platforms you use. It's a good idea if you have someone who can take unique photos for you, but you can find some online as well. What you want to avoid is copyright issues. Another way to get around this problem is by working with a digital marketing agency who has access to tens of thousands of royalty-free images.
Does when you post matter? Absolutely. It's not a good idea to post just whenever the mood hits. What you need to know is what time of day or night (or even what days of the week) your key demographic is most active on Facebook, Twitter, or the social platforms you use.
Overall, more people tend to engage in social media as the week wears on toward the weekend, and in the afternoons. One little trick is to try posting at different times and monitoring which seem to get the most engagement. Much of achieving success with social media is due to trial and error, so have patience! Common sense comes in handy, too, as you would already know if your target audience are those who generally work 8-5, Monday through Friday – they're probably not active on social media channels at midnight or 1 o'clock in the morning.
Small businesses in Atlanta can definitely take care of social media, however if you just don't have the time or doubt your ability to get a good grasp on all of the aspects of this type of marketing, it's definitely a good idea to let the professionals help you step it up a notch or two! At EBB Web Design, our social media team is ready to help you ace it!Google+

Chumlee From 'Pawn Stars' Arrested: Fans Mock Reality Star On Twitter
Oh Chumlee! The 'Pawn Stars' fan favorite was arrested after a raid of his Las Vegas home turned up guns and drugs, and now viewers are taking to Twitter to mock the nature of his crimes!
Oh the internet is a cruel, cruel place! Beloved Pawn Stars cast member Chumlee, 33, has been arrested for possession of weapons and drugs as Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers were executing a search warrant on his home. But the raid stemmed from an ongoing sexual assault investigation of which Chumlee is a person of interest! All of this drama has made for some major internet mockery in the reality star's direction so read on for some seriously mean tweets!
The Pawn Stars veteran's arrest came as a shock to his many fans, since he's such a loveable, easygoing guy on the show But some fans are taking into account that hey, he did grow up in Las Vegas and has worked in a pawn shop for his entire adult life so maybe we shouldn't be so stunned after all. Not only that, he's being mocked as a tweaker after cops found methamphetamine in his place! Here's a taste of what fans had to say:
The world is not surprisingly unfazed that Chumlee from pawn Stars would do stupid things
— Kevin (@hula5150) March 10, 2016
Wow. I mean we already knew that Chumlee was on the Meth Diet but damn. Sexual assault? Really Chum? Lol
— @DoughBoyTheDJ (@DoughBoyTheDJ) March 10, 2016
Who knew Chumlee was a tweaker
— Ray (@Mrx251) March 10, 2016
Any of my Vegas friends looking for work? Looks like there's about to be an opening at the Pawn Stars pawn shop. #Oops #Chumlee
— Kevin McKenna (@ThatguyKMac) March 10, 2016
Chumlee got arrested for drugs, guns and a sexual assault case.
Who would have thought that dude was so rock and roll?
— Equinsu Ocha (@PunkAssBusta) March 10, 2016
Well I guess there goes Chumlee's new role as Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" https://t.co/Ul9jVSLIDw #PawnStars #StayThirsty
— Media Mucus 4America (@MediaMucusMan) March 10, 2016
Chumlee from pawnstars was arrested on drug and weapons charges. I wonder if Rick is going to go to the courtroom and haggle down the bail?
— Ben Sukup (@Ben_Sukup) March 10, 2016
@chumlee_ how about your meth collection. Is that for sale too?? 😂
— Anthony Miller (@BassMillerENT) March 10, 2016
Finally the downfall of Chumlee. Maybe I can actually watch Pawn Stars again! https://t.co/UhL9phWUXF
— Michelle Diane (@KensethFan4Ever) March 10, 2016
@mmeals drugs… Now chumlee's weight loss makes so much sense
— Ed Pogue (@Buttwasted) March 10, 2016
#chumlee a crackhead????? went to jail today. smoking #meth @pawnstars#LasVegas
— Lij Habib (@lijHabbib) March 10, 2016
A guy named Chumlee who works in a pawn shop getting arrested for meth and guns? Never would see that coming…
— Jeremy Smith (@JeremyInKC) March 10, 2016
*At Chumlee's bail hearing*
Judge: Bail is set at 250,000 dollars
Rick from Pawn Stars: Ahhh the highest I'm willing to go is 100,000
— EDMGHOSTBUSTERSTHEME (@sexualjumanji) March 10, 2016
Oh Chumlee…
— hugh acheson (@HughAcheson) March 10, 2016
Police took Chumlee – real name Austin Russell – in to custody after finding marijuana, meth and several guns inside his Las Vegas home. He was taken to the Clark County Detention Center where he was booked on possession charges, and his mug shot was then splashed all over the media for the world to see. In his white T-shirt and long hair pulled back, he's staring blankly into the camera as if he can't believe what's going on.
Wow, who knew there was that much internet bitterness out there about Chumlee?!
HollywoodLifers, are you shocked at the nature of Chumlee's arrest?

In seven days, we will be in Utah with our families - the Cluff family and the Nelson family. I am very excited about this...just ask Reid. I've decided to do a count down until we leave by sharing with you some of the people I can't wait to see!
First up is my brother, Jordan, who just turned 16. Whohoo! Jordan - I heard that you were delaying homework last night by reading my blog. All I have to say is, it's not my fault you haven't been keeping up. :) Love you, and finish your homework!

So here's stuff from six weeks ago, like anyone cares:
|All this symmetry is a little weird ...
|I really want this bag, but I bet it's long gone at this point. Also, what I really need are bathing suits because mine are beat.
|yup, red suede shoes with glittery toes. $10. Yes, you read that right.
|They were one size too big. Alas. (Also, I'm beginning to think I already posted this on the blog? I don't remember.)
|My mom found this at Home Goods ... NO she did not buy it. But, there were a lot of jokes about buying it for Pearl and *oops* oh well, this will only hold 10lbs of weight and Pearl is 60% too large for it ... oh well! Jokes like that.
|The iPod my mom gave me for my 20th birthday officially stopped reacting to me frantically pushing the home button.
|I forget if this was Prada or Pucci, but who cares? It's gorgeous, it's Italian, and I want it.
|Base of a statue at school (not in the same building that has the incinerator).
|Well, somebody has made their existential peace with their mortality. Good for them. [insert eye roll]
|I thought the blooms on this guy were so cool until I realized that they were crawling with mites. You know some poor sucker who didn't know any better bought it, too.
|I need to figure out how to make my fiddle leaf fig grow more like this rather than doing what it's doing right now ... I have a sad suspicion that this will involve lopping off a lot of last year's growth.
|Fluffed and puffed. And too big for that pet carrier.
|This caused quite a stir on Instagram last month--it's a giant Rice Krispi treat Leslie bought for me at DiBruno Bros., and according to Ron it has a 2:1 marshmallow to cereal ratio. Yes, it was as good as it looked.

New organ donors registered as result of Council's campaign
A County Councillor whose life was saved by an organ donor is campaigning to get more people to join the donation register.
Bill Chapple was given only two weeks left to live after his liver failed – he owes his life to a stranger who was on the register and whose liver was a perfect match.
He has now started a campaign to encourage more people to sign up to the donation register. He spent all day Wednesday manning a stall at County Hall with information about the process.
And in the past four weeks over 30 staff at the council have already registered to become organ donors. Bill is also encouraging people in the community to consider joining the transplant register too.
Bill, who had non- alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, said: "A woman in her late 50s died suddenly and I was given her liver. I don't know who she was because we are not allowed to know – but without her, I wouldn't be here today and wouldn't have met any of my four grandchildren or been able to give my daughter away in marriage.
"This lady didn't save just me. Five other people benefited from her organs which shows how incredibly significant her decision to join the register was."
You can register in two minutes here.

THE 90s
"Get a Job" waltzes off with the honors for last time, since Tony deFranco wasn't in the running.
I started one a few days ago, and it would have been interesting -- the two top contenders were The Spencer Davis Group doing "Gimme Some Lovin'" from 60s, and Salt-n-Pepa doing "Let's Talk About Sex" from the 90s, and I was probably going to go for Salt-n-Pepa, in spite of considerable affection for "Gimme Some Lovin,'" but realizing "Let's Talk About Sex" was probably the better song...but my computer froze and I lost the list.
So here's yet another, and...guess what? It's like I never left home.
I'm hoping not even Charis will go for Donny and Marie. I'm fairly certain the 40s and 50s will get left at the gate.
Pat Benatar was OK, but it would take an awfully weak set of competitors to make me vote for her.
So we come down to the 60s and 90s again, with a 60s song that I have even more affection for, and 90s song I know I have to vote for. Beck's an original, an elite talent. So although I am in fact a man who lives a life of danger..

TORONTO – The Toronto stock exchange was lower Thursday afternoon as energy and mining stocks fell alongside prices for oil and gold.
The S&P/TSX composite index lost 40.05 points to 14,047.13.
Investors were disinclined to follow up a sharp gain of almost 100 points Wednesday amid ongoing serious challenges to the global economy, including Japan's struggle to contain a nuclear crisis caused by the Mar. 11 earthquake, Portugal's unresolved financial problems and uprisings in the Middle East.
"We really do have a huge wall of worry," said Pat McHugh, senior portfolio manager and vice president at Manulife Asset Management.
The TSX Venture Exchange was off 10.3 points to 2,307.71.
The Canadian dollar was higher against the greenback, up 0.33 of a cent to 102.3 cents US.
Oil prices were lower following three days of gains as fighting in Libya — and worries that it could spread to countries in the oil-rich Persian Gulf, particularly Saudi Arabia — drove the so-called risk premium on crude higher. The May oil contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange lost 73 cents to US$105.02 a barrel.
The energy sector fell 0.67 per cent with Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) down 54 cents to $47.81 while Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) shed 39 cents to $43.70.
The showing added to losses sustained on Wednesday amid a surprise new oil windfall tax in Britain.
The British government plans to levy a new tax on oil companies' profits worth two billion pounds ($3.2 billion) and in return will lower the country's gas tax by a penny a litre.
This was bad news for companies such as Calgary-based Nexen Inc. (TSX:NXY) which operate in the North Sea. They will see their tax on production grow from 50 per cent to 62 per cent.
Nexen shares lost 37 cents to $23.82 after falling 7.92 per cent Wednesday.
Gold stocks also lost ground as bullion gave up early gains, down $3.10 from Wednesday's latest record close to US$1,434.90 an ounce. Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) faded 55 cents to $50.50 and Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) shed 75 cents to $48.09.
Copper prices were unchanged at US$4.43 after shooting up 12 cents Wednesday, partly because investors reckon that massive rebuilding in Japan from the huge earthquake and tsunami will spur demand for the metal used extensively in construction.
And that in turn could help lessen concerns about falling demand from China as authorities grapple with stubbornly high inflation.
"So far the (Chinese) central bank has done an admirable job of containing it," said McHugh, "but the risk is that interest rates are increased to such an extent that it chokes off a good chunk of demand and anybody who exports to China would be hit on the chin."
Financials were also a drag on the TSX with CIBC (TSX:CM) down $1.08 to $53.54.
The base metals sector was ahead 0.24 per cent as Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. (TSX:QUX) gave back 28 cents to $13.56 and Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) was up 98 cents to $52.88.
The tech sector was the biggest advancer, up 1.11 per cent with Research In Motion Ltd. (TSX:RIM) ahead $1.28 to $62.18 ahead of the BlackBerry maker's earnings coming out after the close.
Investors are feeling slightly better about Japan now that a complete nuclear meltdown has been avoided at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which has leaked radiation since the tsunami engulfed its crucial cooling systems.
But other factors weighed on sentiment: the impact on Japanese companies from rolling electricity blackouts, the possibility of aftershocks, anxiety over elevated levels of radioactive iodine in Tokyo's tap water, and import bans on Japanese food from the region affected by radiation.
Elsewhere, Europe's debt crisis showed signs of flaring anew. Portugal's prime minister quit on Wednesday after opposition parties overwhelmingly rejected his last-ditch round of austerity measures aimed at preventing the eurozone's weakest economy from plunging into chaos.
U.S. markets advanced amid data showing lower jobless insurance claims and a surprising dip in durable goods orders during February.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 75.8 points to 12,161.82.
The Nasdaq composite index rose 32.12 points to 2,730.42 while the S&P 500 index added 10.15 points to 1,307.69.
In other corporate news, Muzak, known for its soothing strains of music played in elevators and stores, is being bought by Toronto based in-store music provider Mood Media Corp. (TSX:MM) for US$345 million. Mood Media said Thursday the acquisition will create an "in-store media powerhouse" that will be heard in 470,000 commercial locations around the world and its shares gained 39 cents to $3.48.
Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.B) said it has strengthened the sales argument for the new CSeries jet and other aircraft by partnering with China's leading aircraft manufacturer. Bombardier and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. (COMAC) signed a framework agreement Thursday that aims to ensure products offered by the two companies will totally complement each other. Bombardier shares rose 11 cents to $6.52.
Best Buy Co.'s fourth-quarter net income fell 16 per cent to US$651 million as the company restructured and faced weak sales of TVs and other electronics.
Adjusted results beat expectations but its shares lost early traction and were down 4.65 per cent to US$30.37.

Does your co-lo match your needs? Do you know what your needs are? Do you know what is best for your data?
When choosing a facility to host your IT equipment, be it one 1U server or 30 racks of high density storage, it is crucial to choose a data centre that matches your requirements. There are so many companies out there offering services that appear very similar, but are very different once you scratch the surface.
Do you need access to your server? So many people host their servers in the centre of London or in the surrounding area, paying a premium to be close to their server(s). Could you host your server in Iceland for example and take advantage of cheaper power and cooling costs - would latency be an issue? If you went down this route, would you have the confidence to know that you are getting a service that you have never seen or to do the research to get the level of hosting that is closest to your requirements?
When talking about facility location, do you consider its security implications? Major towns and cities suffer from increased security risks from accidental outages from non-related infrastructure maintenance and potential terrorist attacks (not just to the facility but near-by). From a power point of view, brown-outs and power cuts are becoming a greater problem in major cities as the present supply is stretched with our increasing demands.
How redundant are the co-location facilities? Do they have multiple data (telecoms) and power feeds, on-site generators, N+1, N+2, N+N equipment duplication? If they claim that they have redundancy in their water-cooled air conditioning, does this extend to the pipes, water pumps and water tanks?
The question that you need to ask is "What are you paying for?". When you want 5kW of equipment in 1 rack, do they charge you for 3 racks because they only have power provision for 2kW per rack? If they charge you for 3, is your equipment spread between 3 racks or put in one, and is there a cooling implication linked with this?
There are so many questions that you need to ask when hosting your equipment, and it can be a very daunting process whether you know data centres inside and out or have no experience in them at all.

One-on-One Coaching Programs
The Inner Peace Process: A 12 Week One on One Coaching Program
This program is a 12 week intensive. You spend 12 weeks exploring yourself. Reconnecting with your truest nature. Being with and releasing the shame and pain that you keep carrying with you. Remembering the truth about who you are. Then reclaiming your place in the world. As you remember yourself you heal the parts of you that feel incomplete and not enough. Remembering is the path to healing. Remembering is the path to Inner Peace.
One of Kimberly's favorite things is to provide safe space for people to get quiet and sit. Public mediations are usually free and are a place for people to come together to heal themselves and the planet. Meditation is her secret weapon in life.
Kimberly loves to inspire humans to LIVE WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE.
Kimberly is also a blogger, you can find her blog at www.oneyearalone.com

Are you wondering if I am your coach and if the Inner Peace Process is for you?

What is Science
Science World
Animals for Kids
Look for animals in your neighborhood or in rural areas nearby. Think about how many different types of animals there are. Howe do scientists group them? Some are grouped by general categories, like with a backbone and without a backbone. Scientists also group animals with very tiny details, like separating one type of plant spider from another. How is a dog like a bird? How are they different from each other? Which is more like an insect – a spider or an elephant? Why? Look at a dog show and notice that even one species (canine) can have a lot of variety within it. You can also incorporate animal coloring pages to make the learning even more fun.
Earth Science for Kids
What is the weather like today? Watch the evening news or the Weather Channel for descriptions of active weather in your area. Most meteorologists explain why things happen when they broadcast. Take a look at the dirt and geographical features near your hometown. What are they like? How did they get that way? How is it different or similar to other places you have visited as a family?
Human Biology for Kids
Has anyone in the house been sick lately? Talk about how germs work and the white blood cells attack. Ask them why washing hands and covering noses helps. Look at the back of someone's hands and notice the veins and other blood vessels. Do they look like different colors? Tell them about oxygen from the lungs, blood moving everywhere taking care of each part of your body when you aren't even thinking about it.
Physical Science for Kids
Show your kids how magnets work, how one side pulls and the other pushes. Describe electricity as a flowing river full of tiny charged invisible things. What makes a good electricity conductor? Wood? Glass? A metal pole? Everything in the universe is on the move, even molecules in so-called "solid" objects. How does a lever work (like a teeter-totter)? Heat can be created by causing friction. Rubbing your hands together will demonstrate this easily. Heat is energy moving around faster – ever wonder why you feel warmed up after you run fast?
Chemistry for Kids
Chemistry describes the "stuff" our world is made of and what it can do. That's called matter. Anything and everything is made of matter. Randomly pick up 10 things in your house. What are each of them made of? Metals have different types of molecules than organic-based items like paper or food. What is water like when it is a solid, a liquid, and a gas? What else does that?

A mass of statutory laws govern food safety and hygiene rules in the United Kingdom. This guidance section lists food safety regulations and foodstuffs codes of practice.
FOOD SAFETY UK: The stuff we eat gets regulated by the Food Safety Act 1990. Its obligation relates to foods intended for human consumption.
There are strict codes of practice on the production and processing of our food. Those laws also extend to the distribution, packaging, and labelling of our foodstuffs.
Food hygiene is not only about proper handling and storage of nutritious substances. It refers to the conditions and measures that are necessary to ensure the safety of food.
It begins early in production stages and ends its journey at consumption.
So what are the hidden dangers associated with food safety and hygiene? In fact, it is far too easy for most food products to become contaminated.
Contamination can occur at any point from slaughter or harvest. A lack of food hygiene can cause problems in the processing stage or in storage.
The risks continue through distribution, transportation, and particularly during preparation. In the worst cases it can lead to foodborne diseases and cause death to consumers.
BARBEQUE FOOD SAFETY: You cannot ignore the basic safety tips for barbecue food to avoid a dodgy belly or food poisoning. Follow these simple steps and serve up an outstanding outdoor barbecue.
BARBEQUE FIRE SAFETY: The UK Fire and Rescue Services offer a range of fire safety tips for BBQ and charcoal grill fires. The guide extends the BBQ fire safety advice with a few extra tips on camping and cooking.
PICNIC FOOD SAFETY: Family picnics are a fun way to eat packed meals in the garden or the open countryside. Follow the picnic food safety advice to avoid spoiling the outing.
