"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy."
-Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
The Lee family has a "place". It's the place that they go every year. It seems to be a sacred place to them. It's called Currant Creek. It's up in the mountains past Heber, past Strawberry Reservoir... It's in the middle of nowhere. I mean, past paved roads. There is no cell service. No internet. No way of connecting to the outside world. There is only you, your present company, nature, and a hell of a lot of dirt.
Ayla and I just spent our second summer outing with the Lee family at Currant Creek and we know why it's a sacred place. We know why they come back every year. We know why the kids don't want to leave. We know why they don't mind the dirt and the disconnection from society. Currant Creek is magical, really.
On Our way to Currant Creek we had to stop by Dairy Keen. This is another Lee family sacred place. A place that I loved from the start and I crave all the time but only have every so often. Luckily, it's far away from us in Heber so it remains an exciting and rare treat. Ayla loved seeing the Harry Potter train. I loved my bacon cheese burger.
The drive in to Currant Creek feels so long. We are all so excited to get there. It's so fun to finally hit the dirt road and to finally see the lake and to finally see the little road that our camp is on and to finally pull up to the spot. The spot that is full of Lee family trailers and a few tents and a lot of family.
Guys, Currant Creek is dirty. I mean FILTHY. The dirt is soft and loose and it flies around you with every step you take. And it was windy this weekend. Really windy. I felt like every time I opened my mouth I got a mouth full of dirt. Dirt is not really my thing. I don't enjoy dirt in my hair and under my nails and EVERYWHERE else. However, at Currant Creek I don't mind it. I'm ok with the fact that my hair is heavy with dirt and actually looks gray because of it. I'm ok with the fact that my nails are black. In fact, I don't even notice because I still have pretty blue polish to hide it. I'm ok with dirt in the creases of my arms and in my eyebrows. It's worth it to be filthy for one weekend. It's worth it to fly through the mountain on a 4-wheeler and sit next to the lake watching the fish jump but not bite our lines. It's worth it to end the day sitting around a campfire {3 fires actually, to accommodate the large group!} roasting marshmallows or making campfire eclairs. It's worth it to watch my little girl have the time of her life with cousins and other extended families. It practically makes me cry thinking about the memories that she is making. Currant Creek is going to be her "place". It's going to be sacred to her, too.
I love the Lee family and I loved getting to spend my weekend with them tucked away on a mountain. I can't even describe how wonderful it is to be up there in the open air with no phone and no computer. Just family, fun, fishing, and four-wheeling. I cannot wait until next year.
Without any further ado, here are pictures from our weekend. A lot of pictures. All pictures are from my trusty iPhone. You may not judge any of the dirty faces or hobo clothes that you see in these pictures. Camping = the ultimate lazy/dirty/hobo people.

Dean is, obviously, one of the most iconic teen idols of them all– but let's try to unhinge ourselves from the Times-Square-gift-shop-coffee-mug-James-Dean and orient this idol of idols historically.
The 50s is quick becoming my favorite 20th c. decade. Despite the crap we've been fed through reruns of Leave it to Beaver, or garbage high-school dance tracks like "Johnny Angel", there is an unmistakable dark side to the 50s. Why, for example was there so great market for Catcher in the Rye, Mad Magazine, Rock 'n' roll and existentialism? Dark storms were brewing no doubt, and the "disease with no name" would only get one in 1963 when Betty Fridan exposed the silent agony of the picture perfect 50s middle class housewife in The Feminine Mystique.
Is it any wonder that the tragic James Dean would catapult to the greatest heights of American mythology?
I'm interested especially in Dean's cross gender appeal. As I mentioned in my first teen-idol post, I believe that women don't lust after their idols as much as they identify with them, which is a motivation often unnamed as it is hammered unmistakably into your brain at 13 that you are just going through puberty, having your first foolish sexual feelings ("soon to be extinguished" claim evolutionary psychologists!), you silly, silly girl.
Todd Giltin writes in The Sixties that "[Dean's] masculine and feminine appeals were delicately balanced: to teenage girls he was an awkward darling, to boys a lost companion of the soul" (32). This, I suspect, is a misread of the nature of girls' Dean fixation.
Gitlin later notes that "unlike Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, or Humphrey Bogart, say, heroes who knew what they wanted and went after it, Brando and Dean went looking for trouble because they had nothing better to do. They were refusers, defined by what they weren't" (33).
It seems to me that this is also perhaps the reason why Gable, Cooper, or Bogart didn't capture the imagination of the teeny-bopper crowd. If Dean "…seemed the perfect embodiment of doomed, estranged youth" (32), I can think of nothing more doomed or estranged than growing up a young woman with your Friedaneque repressed, depressed mother, knowing that this is your dull fate, while your brothers, at least, get to play baseball and dream of the possibilities of the future. For girls, their future was not only bleak, it was right there in front of them, passed out on the couch from tranquillizers at 3 in the afternoon.
Dean's agonizing alienation in Rebel Without a Cause, partly due to his resentment toward his Mother as well, gives him more to say to young women of the 50s than his "darling awkwardness" alone allows. He was a soulmate for them too, perhaps more so– though, again, it's men who dominate cultural criticism and their point of view is chanted from library corridors, album notes, audio commentary, televised retrospectives, and on and on…our memory is perhaps off balance.
"And James Dean's Death erupted in the midst of an affluent society which was supposed to have had no more need of risk because it was organized to make happiness mandatory and adaptation the irresistible flagstone path of least resistance" (35, my italics). Dean rejects the so-called happiness handed to him on a platter, he abjects, he self destructs, and he offers no "cause" for his rebellion. For the many women afflicted by the "disease with no name" perhaps Dean's refusal to justify himself was exhilarating.

Channel 1 television broadcast an interesting mix on Saturday morning: Its correspondents reported from Sderot and Ashkelon, but the pictures on the screen were from the Gaza Strip. Thus the broadcast, albeit unintentionally, sent the right message: A child in Sderot is the same as a child in Gaza, and anyone who harms either is evil.Read the entire article here >
But the assault on Gaza does not first and foremost demand moral condemnation - it demands a few historical reminders. Both the justification given for it and the chosen targets are a replay of the same basic assumptions that have proven wrong time after time. Yet Israel still pulls them out of its hat again and again, in one war after another.
Israel is striking at the Palestinians to "teach them a lesson." That is a basic assumption that has accompanied the Zionist enterprise since its inception: We are the representatives of progress and enlightenment, sophisticated rationality and morality, while the Arabs are a primitive, violent rabble, ignorant children who must be educated and taught wisdom - via, of course, the carrot-and-stick method, just as the drover does with his donkey.
The bombing of Gaza is also supposed to "liquidate the Hamas regime," in line with another assumption that has accompanied the Zionist movement since its inception: that it is possible to impose a "moderate" leadership on the Palestinians, one that will abandon their national aspirations.
As a corollary, Israel has also always believed that causing suffering to Palestinian civilians would make them rebel against their national leaders. This assumption has proven wrong over and over.

Trying to 'teach Hamas a lesson' is fundamentally wrong

A cartoonist's view of the health care reform hoo-hah
Peter Dunlap-Shohl, former editorial cartoonist for the Anchorage Daily News, has a new blog on health care issues and reform: Gurney to the Dark Side. Check it out: he takes a grim subject and puts a bit of much-needed levity into it while skewering the absurdities of our current health care system with that pen of his.

I was craving for some scrumptious authentic Chinese noodles about two weeks ago and was pretty desperate to fix it so, my friend and I made our way to Din Tai Fung @ Empire Subang Jaya for some la mian and xiao long bao.
6 pieces of Xiao Long Bao (chinese dumplings) @ RM11.90
Xiao long bao is probably one of the best kind of dumplings! I like how there's broth in it and that's why you weren't suppose to bite it. You should put them in your mouth as a whole and enjoy the taste of wonder. Xiao Long Bao best savour with slices of ginger dipped with black vinegar and a bit of soy sauce. Mm mmm!
Hot and sour soup La Mian @ RM12
As stated, it is hot and sour, but just nice to my liking. The broth was savoury and the bits and pieces of tau fu, etc compliment so well with both the noodles and the broth. I personally love this one, a lot. & not forgetting the portion can be shared among two ladies with an average appetite.
I would totally recommend anyone who enjoys Chinese cuisine as much as I do, to dine in Din Tai Fung on one of the days to try their Xiao Long Bao and everything else on the menu 'cause everything looked simply delicious and amazing. I wish I could order the other dumplings thou but I know I won't be able to finish everything. So, maybe next time! :D

i am using flex 4.6.
i have the following requirement.
1. Parent swf loads a child swf dynamically. (can do this.)
2. parent swf sets a value onthe child swf. (can do this.)
3. but after setting a value it must launch the loaded swf in another browser window. (have problem doing this)
can this be done?
is there any other alternative?
Why not launch the SWF with URL params and skip step 2. See NavigateToURL
You can launch the SWF in new window with navigateToURL() available in flash.net package by passing the path of SWF as parameter to function as
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(domainPath + "/appmanager/login.swf"));
actually i want to pass something more than URL params. I want to pass an object from parent swf to child swf.

A beep on my phone from one of my Irish friends suggesting drinks on a Saturday night made me smile for about an hour. You know life is good when you feel like you're settling in, not just observing like a tourist. Hutch decided to stay home and finish some homework so I could have a girls night.
I got dressed up in high heels and bright red lipstick, jammed the earbuds in my ear, cranked up Scissor Sisters and strutted my way to the T station. I'd left plenty of time to get there so I could have a sneaky trip to Sephora on the way in and it was well worth it. I bought a few things and of those that are stocked in Australia, I paid nearly $30 less. It's crazy how much more expensive makeup is back home and Sephora doesn't ship internationally.
A lovely stroll to the spanish bar where we were all meeting was really rejuvenating, time on my own, good tunes in my ear and generally feeling more than a mother who screeches at her kids to stop fighting or to leave her alone.
A dodgy photo of the walk I took – iphones aren't great at night time shots. It was about 18 degrees at 9pm, perfect. It didn't even occur to me to take a selfie all dressed up, clearly I'm too old!
There ended up being about 15 people at the bar that I met, I was the only Australian in a crowd of Irish (what's the collective noun for Irish I wonder?) and it was great fun. Drinks on a saturday night? I'll do that again for sure.

First up, 2006. That was the year we found out about the pumpkin patch. Laura was all of 11 months old that year. Not yet walking (she didn't walk til she was 18 months old). Look how little she is! Even the smaller pumpkins were bigger than her. And the costume.......a cute pair of jammies I found at a second hand store for $2 that year. In some of the pics she looks a bit stunned at the size of these pumpkins. Katelyn was almost 5 that year. Gosh these kids have grown so much.
These next 3 just crack me up. These are just your larger ones that you might carve up and stick on your porches. Even most of those were bigger than Laura. And they weighed a lot more too. We were still trying to get weight back on her after a long haul of her gaining a few then losing twice of what she'd gain. A month later she finally started gaining again. But I do believe she was all of 10 lbs here and the pumpkin we took home was a good 20 lbs.
Next up, 2007. Katelyn was a month shy of 6 and Laura a month shy of 2. November birthdays. LOL! Katelyn's hair is longer and Laura is a slightly bigger. Still pretty small though. And not quite weaned from the paci yet.
And this year, 2008. My little hams. I told them to look at the camer and smile and both of them struck the face in hands pose at the same exact time. Okay maybe not hams....it's fall....we'll call them turkeys instead. LOL! Katelyn's hair is shorter since we cut it this year. Both girls are much taller. Laura is still pretty petite for her age but she's definitely grown from last year.
Well that was fun! I hope you all enjoyed my little walk through pumpkin patch memory lane as much as I did.

I have been teaching a total of 3 years all here at Saint Rose School in 5th - 6th grade.
I have received a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from DePauw University Greencastle, IN. and a Master's Degree in Education from Trevecca University Nashville, TN.
I am originally from Indiana. I met my husband, Shane, at college and we've been married for almost 18 years. We have called Tennessee home for the past 10 years. We have two beautiful daughters, Brooke 10 years and Sydney 7 months. I enjoy coaching Saint Rose volleyball and we are big St. Louis Cardinals fans.
I enjoy teaching at St. Rose School because it is a place where students are encouraged to learn and also grow in their faith. St. Rose School is a Christ centered environment that demonstrates its mission of Learning, Love, and Service.

Texas May Work Out Better for Obama than Clinton
Ay-ya-ya. I just read this article (h/t Truthout).
"Unlike other states that allocate delegates by congressional districts, Texas distributes 126 of its delegates among its 31 state Senate districts using a formula based on Democratic voter turnout in the 2004 and 2006 general elections. The 31 districts contain from two to eight delegates. The March 4 primary vote in each Senate district will allocate that district's delegates.
The turnout formula has assigned more delegates to urban centers with a lot of young or black voters that tend to favor Obama and fewer delegates to poorer Hispanic areas expected to favor Clinton. Austin, which includes the University of Texas, gets eight; Houston gets seven and Dallas gets six."
My nephew is a UT student, and he's definitely in the Obama camp.
Don't forget: debate in Austin tonight at 7 pm. CNN is the host network. I predict Obama will come out looking better because CNN is more into theater than dealing with specific agendas.

Another Back-up PSA
Earlier, my computer started freezing up. I decided I needed to reboot, shut everything down, and turned the thing off. It froze on the "windows is shutting down" window...FOREVER. I sat here for about 10-15 minutes, waiting for it to shut off the rest of the way, and it never did. Left with no other option, I cut the power. LOL. Okay, I hate doing that...but sometimes you have no other choice. You've done it...I've done it...we've all done it. (g)
Anyway, when I restart it, a little box comes up, saying something about how there's an error with my personal settings...something like that. So, it opens up to what looks like a computer that hasn't been used before--the plain Compaq background...the trash can in the wrong place... but strangely enough, most of my icons are still there. Okay... hmmm.
I immediately go into Word to make sure my files are okay. Ummm, wtf...the "preparing to install word" box pops up. *blink blink blink* When it finally gets going, I open my file box to find NOTHING THERE. *thumpthumpthumpthump* (That's the sound of my RACING heartbeat) I immediately freak out...when's the last time you backed up your MS's, Jen??? I _can't remember_. NOT a good sign. I snatch up my USB key and RUN to my uncle's computer... it won't recognize my key... *THUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMP*
Okay, by this time I'm also freaking out about my class notes and outlines...HOLY F*CK. Finals are in 4 weeks!! Maybe it just needs to be restarted... I try...same screen comes back...still no files.
So, I scour my brain for every little bit of computer knowledge I have. Took about three seconds. LOL. But then I thought about that neat little system restore option... Won't hurt to give that a try. I restored to yesterday and bam...everything came back. *wipes brow and heart slows to small letters again*
Oh yeah, Jen did some backing up--PRONTO.
WTF...I have no clue how this all happened, but man... SCARY. I'm wearing my USB key everywhere I go now. LOL.
Can you see my new grey hairs??

OMG, I've never been so...YIKES. lol. My hands were shaking and I thought I might cry any second. The whole thing probably lasted less than 20 minutes, but MAN.
Guess it's all a lesson. HEH.

You said it! When my uncle got home I was all, "HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE?!?!?" lol. He hadn't and highly recommended regular back-ups. (g)
- November 14, 2007 at 10:16 AM
How scary! I'm glad it all turned out okay in the end. Reading your story makes me realize how lucky I am to have a computer geek for a husband (a cute one, let me add!)I wouldn't know what to do in a situation like yours.
Hope the rest of the week is a lot less exciting for you!

Thanks, Julianne! Yes, you are very lucky. (g) I have an uncle who is semi-savvy, but alas, he was out when tragedy struck. LOL. Not to mention a wee bit into his cups. (g)

I'm sorry to say that I had to laugh when reading your entry, but man do I know how that feels (perhaps that's WHY I'm laughing, relief of having lived through that already with only a few scratches)
I'm writing on a rather old laptop and one time it boots quite normally, other times it takes ages and still other times I have to start the d*** thing several times before it will cooperate. You guessing I'm backupping (is that a word *g*) every day now? :)

LOL...sure, laugh at my heart attack moment. (g) Nah, I understand -- it's always funny until work is actually lost. (VBG) I've always thought nothing like that will EVER happen to me... cha, right.
Dang technology. :)

Have you ever heard of the #XL-1 ? It is #Volkswagen produce a couple of years ago as an example of what is possible. It is highly engeered #electric vehicle. You can transport two persons in it at it has some very small you may call trunk 🙂
With its design shaped by the wind and its statements like the wing opened doors it is not a usual car – and that is unusual for products coming from #VW .
With the side mirrors built as cameras and projected as displays to the driver it is more #spaceship than #car .
We were not allowed to take a seat or to drive it because of the wealth of this technical genius. But we were allowed to make a video 🙂 and what's more than we want as a video for the #Artalos #youtube channel:

Hi, everyone. I know I've been away for a while, but it's strictly because I was shipped off to Georgia to learn about newspapers. I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no, the industry isn't screwed. No matter what people say.
I know that I've been going on about the wedding for a while now, but I have enjoyed every second of tormenting Christa. To that end, today's game involves finding songs that she would never consent to us dancing to for our first dance.
1. "It's Too Late" by Rodney Carrington
"It's too late. Now we're married.
'Till we're dead and buried…
You're stuck with me, and I'm stuck with you.
Baby, it's too late, and there's nothing we can do…"
A lovely song that really describes marriage well.
2. "Three Little Words" by DaVinci's Notebook
A wonderful homage to Meatloaf, DaVinci's Notebook sings a song in the style of the classic "Bat out of Hell" and describes the three little words that the man has been longing to sing to his woman.
"Pull my finger."
3. "Your Love Is…" by Paul and Storm
While my love is a "tiny puppy, knowing only love," clearly her love is "an underground dog-fighting ring, catching me and keeping me in a cage" and "death holds no meaning for me just like Christopher Walken…"
Her love is Christopher Walken.
4. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf
I like the prospect of a song that says "I will love you until the end of time" followed immediately by "and now I'm praying for the end of time." It makes me weep.
I love this game.

The Palm Beach County School District benefited a developer with ties to a top school official by buying land it didn`t need and moving when it didn`t have to, according to files collected by district investigators.
Both helped developer John C. Bills, who wrote a note in May 1991 thanking his ``great friend`` Ken Scrimsher, former associate superintendent of planning and operations, saying: ``Your friendship has meant a lot to me during my tough business times.``
On at least one occasion, Bills treated Schrimsher to a golf outing.
The relationship is another chapter in the ongoing controversy to rock the school district over trips, gifts and other favors Schrimsher was said to have accepted from businesses that were awarded millions of dollars in district contracts. Schrimsher has denied taking any gifts.
The school district has turned over its investigation to the U.S. Attorney`s Office.
Here are some of Bills` dealings with the school system:
-- Without looking for other sites, the district in 1989 bought five acres in Royal Palm Beach for $750,000 from John C. Bills Enterprises for a western bus compound.
-- It moved its headquarters into Palm Beach Gardens offices developed and managed by Bills and stayed there more than 2 1/2 years, beginning in November 1989. The lease of $1 million a year was touted as a way to save money; the alternative was $1.3 million a year. But moving costs and additional leased space totaled $759,000 -- cancelling the savings.
-- Bills brokered a deal for the district to buy 11.8 acres to expand Palm Beach Gardens High School in 1986. The district`s two appraisals estimated the value of the property at $875,000 and $1,035,000. The school district bought it for $1.4 million.
In the bus compound deal, which included a six-month buy-back clause, employees recommended walking away because the site was too small and had too many zoning problems.

One of the nurses I worked with (and delivered Gunnar), Stacy Charles, moved to San Diego. So we had a going away party for her at the Burbank Bar and Grill. I was so excited that I would be going somewhere that I would have to be carded for. Never been carded! Unfortunately, they didn't start carding until 9pm. I was pretty bummed. I even considered leaving and coming back. Oh well. It was a fun party anyway, and it was nice to be able to hang out with the girls at work for a bit. We were really sad to see Stacy leave. Now there won't be any more confusion at work. Since we were both Stacy C.s we would go by Charlie and Clark. She also oriented me when I first started working at GAMC.
Stacy with her favorite Doctor, Dr. Wu. (Thanks Dr. Wu for picking up the tab!)

I went to the house today to meet the cable guy and to start cleaning over there. It wasn't bad, but needed a once over. I still need to vacuum. On the lighter side, as I was cleaning the cabinets in the kitchen, I found a jar of brown liquid. About 1/3 full. The label on the lid? Bourbon. Ray was shocked, I was tickled. He dumped it out. who knows how long it had been in there and I only drink Southern Comfort. The color was ll wrong for that.
Back at the apartment, things are overwhelming. I started getting Poo's room cleaned up and out-I bought his bed set from him and his bathroom still had stuff. I took all my cleaning supplies over to the house so I was stuck with comet ad vinegar. You can clean about anything with vinegar. I was amazed at how easily it cleaned the blood from the walls where his eczema left him cracked and bleeding. No, there wasn't that much. I just need to vacuum in there now.
Where to begin on the rest? It's a mess around here. a big, complicated mess. I have gathered more things over the last year than I should have. But I'll get it done. I always do.
I did take some time to relax too. Took a nap. read a book. blogged. Wish I could blog all the wonderful stories I have from the last couple weeks, but there really isn't time. I worry that they will be outdated when there is. I was even going to set them up on automatic. Oh well. Eventually.

O what a weekend it's gonna be in the world of the gridiron, folks, and the surprises have started already: after losing to NC State the Florida State Seminoles will almost certainly start next week... get this... unranked. You don't hear that too often, eh?
On the home front, Notre Dame has what should (but probably won't) be a cakewalk against possibly the worst Stanford team I've seen in a long time (and that says a lot). How bad are they, you're wondering? Well, for starters, they're winless, as in 0-5 winless. And it gets worse: in 4 of those 5 games they lost by 26 or more, including a 48-10 trip south by Oregon that left vaguely Cardinal-colored splattermarks all over the field.
Well, now that they've been scraped off of UCLA's shoes (this time a 31-0 shutout), they're headed to South Bend for the rematch of a game that really should not have been close (but, of course, was) last season. Most of the players are the same, and most of them are still struggling. On the other hand, at least this time the Irish won't have a kicker with peyote in his gatorade. Hopefully.
Meanwhile, Tech takes on Mizzou, their first chance to upset a ranked team since they screwed the pooch against TCU 2 weeks ago. Color me interested but skeptical. And of course, the big game, the Red River Shootout, is this week as Colt McCoy, Texas Quarterback! (cue Dixieland on banjo) tries to lead the #7 'Horns to a second straight win over #14 Oklahoma (who I hear this year actually have other players besides Adrian Peterson!). This one could be close.
Among the rest, #2 USC takes on a potentially resurgent Washington team (SC will win, obviously, but it will be interesting to see if the Huskies really are on their way back up), and all Hell breaks loose in the SEC: #9 LSU vs. #5 Florida and #13 Tennessee vs. #10 Georgia. Wow.
Oh yeah, and #11 Oregon and #16 California, two of the most perpetually overrated teams in NCAA, face off, too. Yawn.

Recommended Listening: George Benjamin's "Into The Little Hill" (With Libretto By Martin Crimp)
Two years back, at the beginning of times of trouble regarding my wife's legal residency in the United States (and the 'real' beginning of the recession), I missed the opportunity to go to New York City for the Lincoln Center Festival and the American premiere of George Benjamin and Martin Crimp's excellent new one act opera, 'Into the Little Hill'.
I have now heard it on Nimbus recording, and I highly recommend it.
I recall that 23 years ago, the clerks at Tower Records in Washington, D.C. were surprised when I told them that I was purchasing a CD of George Benjamin's orchestral music (including 'Ringed by the Flat Horizon') and I did not even yet own a CD player. They apparently thought that one's first CD should be something more symbolic and conservative -- such as a recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations or a rare Beethoven Symphony set.
But no, my first and most recent CDs have been of contemporary classical music.
And last night, on Classical WETA FM, they broadcast Gunther Schuller conducting the Saint Louis Symphony and Chorus in John Knowles Paine's Mass in D, recorded about 30 years ago. The announcer commented that it was an American work that one was not to be ashamed of, or something to that effect.
Sadly, this may be the last week to hear American classical music in the Nation's Capital for the next eleven months unless you write to Sharon Percy Rockefeller.
This week at 9 PM, starting Wednesday, are the final American classical 'prime-time' offerings:
July 1: Glass: Symphony #3
July 2: Bernstien [sic]: Serenade for Violin, Strings and Percussion
July 3: Copland: Billy the Kid
July 4: Copland: A Lincoln Portrait
July 5: Thompson: The Testament of Freedom(Choral Showcase)
June 29 10:23 pm: George Templeton Strong: Symphony #2 in G Minor,Op. 50 "Sintram"

FBI agents have served legal papers on Texan billionaire Sir Allen Stanford in connection with an alleged eight billion dollar fraud after tracking him down in Virginia.
He's been accused by the US Securities Exchange Commission in a civil court case.
Meanwhile the Venezuelan government has seized a commercial bank owned by Stanford.
Officials took over the commercial bank to stem huge online withdrawals.
Venezuelan Finance Minister Ali Rodriguez said:
"Action taken by the Venezuelan government is guided exclusively by the interests of people who have savings. That's why the decision has been made to immediately sell the bank."
Mexico, Panama, Ecuador and Antigua in the Caribbean have also acted against Stanford's businesses. The Stanford Group assets have been frozen by the US judge.
Britain's Serious Fraud Office is monitoring a possible UK link after media reports the cricket impressario's books were audited in Britain.

Previously, we found increased expression of l-arginine metabolizing enzymes in both kidneys from two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats (Helle F, Hultstrom M, Skogstrand T, Palm F, Iversen BM. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 296: F78-F86, 2009). In the present study, we investigate whether AT(1) receptor activation can induce the changes observed in 2K1C. Four groups of rats were infused with 80 ng/min ANG II or saline for 14 days and/or given 60 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) losartan. Gene expression was studied in isolated preglomerular vessels by RT-PCR. Dose-responses to ANG II were studied in isolated preglomerular vessels with and without acute NOS inhibition [10(-4) mol/l N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME)]. Expressions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), caveolin-1, and arginase-2 were not changed by ANG II infusion. CAT1 (0.3 8 +/- 0.07 to 0.73 +/- 0.12, P < 0.05), CAT2 (1.14 +/- 0.29 to 2.74 +/- 0.48), DDAH2 (1.09 +/- 0.27 to 2.3 +/- 0.46), and arginase-1 (1.08 +/- 0.17 to 1.82 +/- 0.22) were increased in ANG II-infused rats. This was prevented by losartan treatment, which reduced the expression of eNOS (0.97 +/- 0.26 to 0.37 +/- 0.11 in controls; 0.8 +/- 0.16 to 0.36 +/- 0.1 in ANG II-infused rats) and caveolin-1 (2.49 +/- 0.59 to 0.82 +/- 0.24 in controls and 2.59 +/- 0.61 to 1.1 +/- 0.25 in ANG II-infused rats). ANG II (10(-10) mol/l) caused vessels from ANG II-infused animals to contract to 53 +/- 15% of baseline diameter and 90 +/- 5% of baseline diameter in controls (P < 0.05) and was further enhanced by l-NAME to 4 +/- 4% of baseline diameter (P < 0.05). In vivo losartan treatment reduced the reactivity of isolated vessels to 91 +/- 2% of baseline in response to 10(-7) mol/l ANG II compared with 82 +/- 3% in controls (P < 0.05) and prevented the increased responsiveness caused by ANG II infusion. In conclusion, CAT1, CAT2, DDAH2, and arginase-1 expression in renal resistance vessels is regulated through the AT(1) receptor. This finding may be of direct importance for NOS and the regulation of preglomerular vascular function.
Two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) is a model of renovascular hypertension where we previously found an exaggerated intracellular calcium (Ca(i)(2+)) response to ANG II in isolated afferent arterioles (AAs) from the clipped kidney (Helle F, Vagnes OB, Iversen BM. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 291: F140-F147, 2006). To test whether nitric oxide (NO) ameliorates the exaggerated ANG II response in 2K1C, we studied ANG II (10(-7) mol/l)-induced calcium signaling and contractility with or without the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). In AAs from the nonclipped kidney, l-NAME increased the ANG II-induced Ca(i)(2+) response from 0.28 +/- 0.05 to 0.55 +/- 0.09 (fura 2, 340 nm/380 nm ratio) and increased contraction from 80 +/- 6 to 60 +/- 6% of baseline (P < 0.05). In vessels from sham and clipped kidneys, l-NAME had no effect. In diaminofluorescein-FM diacetate-loaded AAs from the nonclipped kidney, ANG II increased NO-derived fluorescence to 145 +/- 34% of baseline (P < 0.05 vs. sham), but not in vessels from the sham or clipped kidney. Endothelial NOS (eNOS) mRNA and ser-1177 phosphorylation were unchanged in both kidneys from 2K1C, while eNOS protein was reduced in the clipped kidney compared with sham. Cationic amino acid transferase-1 and 2 mRNAs were increased in 2K1C, indicating increased availability of l-arginine for NO synthesis, but counteracted by decreased scavenging of the eNOS inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2. In conclusion, the Ca(i)(2+) and contractile responses to ANG II are blunted by NO release in the nonclipped kidney. This may protect the nonclipped kidney from the hypertension and elevated ANG II levels in 2K1C.
Dietary lipids are reported to affect the blood pressure in both humans and experimental animal models with hypertension. In the present study, 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats were treated with the modified fatty acid tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) from the time of clipping or after hypertension was established. TTA treatment attenuated the development of hypertension and reduced established 2K1C hypertension. The mRNA level of renin in the clipped kidney and the plasma renin activity were markedly reduced, and the plasma angiotensin II level tended to decrease after TTA treatment. In addition, TTA reduced the mRNA level of angiotensinogen in white adipose tissue. Prevention of organ damage was demonstrated by normal urinary excretion of protein, maintained serum albumin, lower heart weight, and clearly reduced vascular, glomerular, and tubulointerstitial damage in the nonclipped kidney. Renal function was not affected as estimated by unchanged plasma creatinine. Furthermore, the serum levels of triacylglycerol and cholesterol were reduced by TTA. The serum fatty acid composition was changed, resulting in a favorable increase of oleic acid. However, the levels of all of the omega-3 fatty acids and of linoleic acid were reduced, and no change was seen in the level of arachidonic acid, but the urinary excretion of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha was declined. In conclusion, TTA attenuated the development of hypertension, reduced established hypertension, and prevented the development of organ damage in 2K1C rats, possibly by reducing the amounts of the vasoconstrictors angiotensin II and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha and by inducing a favorable increase of oleic acid in serum.

Reawakened Whisper: Ghost In The Shell (1995)
After years plus of hearing about it, then finally seeing the footage, it felt like time to go ahead and look back at a personal favorite. Masamune Shirow's seminal cyberpunk manga, Ghost In The Shell (Koukaku Kidotai) has become something of a huge recurrent presence in my life as a multimedia franchise that seems primed to become a comics creation destined to have a shelf life long beyond its own origins. Starting as an ultra-nerdy, often silly, obsessively detailed vision of future Japan, Ghost quickly became noteworthy for both its incredible visuals, and outright daunting text covering everything from the nature of life as a cyborg, terrorism, political intrigue, state indifference, and the pliability of reality in the realm of global networks. It's almost satirical nature, only rivaled by its own ravenous need for sharing virtually every nugget of Shirow's love for exploring dense materials.
It seems that turning to a similarly obsessed mind in the anime world, might just be a marriage made in the stars.
Enter anime author, Mamoru Oshii, who's films had since the 1980s become an artful tug of war between blockbuster necessity and his own personal need to dive beyond the events on screen. His most recent piece being the politicallly daunting and sober PATLABOR 2, Oshii seemed ready to at last let go of his origins as a helmer of occasionally personal and quirky animated comedies once and for all. When word came out that he would be undertaking bringing Ghost to cartoon life, there certainly was a buzz throughout news net circles. This is also soon after his endeavors had led him closer and closer into working between animated and live action, which include the films Red Spectacles, and Talking Head. Both films which blur the line between narrative storytelling, and his own curiosity about the nature of his work. Increasingly introspective, Oshii's works were becoming reknowned for being equally as visually enticing, and ponderous. So it seemed like a merging of authors with diverging forms of obsession might make for a fascinating combination. But could this make for a successful film?
What we expected, was pretty much exactly what we got when Ghost In The Shell was finally let out of the box. An 80 plus minute voyage through a far more grounded rendition of Shirow's world, coupled with the director's penchant for feminine proxies for himself, created something of a global event, not only for fans of Japanese animation, but cinema as well. The secret? Possibly the use of then increasingly popular use of virtual reality, dystopian atmosphere, and a near elegaic tone that filmed science fiction of that decade certainly found itself lacking. By taking what was in many ways dense, yet borderline sarcastic, and turning it into a haunted piece of thoughtful worldbuilding, Ghost became something of a companion piece to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. A deeply layered, yet muted examination of free will in a universe where the body no longer has a definitive role.
Told through the eyes of Public Security Section 9's ultra advanced leader, Motoko Kusanagi(known to her unit colleagues as "Major"), the film version of Ghost begins as a procedural, but quickly becomes a poem on sentience and purpose.
Juggling between procedural technothriller, and introspective dream concerning individual agency in a world where our lives are increasingly tethered to our technology, Oshii's adaptation is as commercial as the increasingly exploratory auteur was going to be post-Patlabor 2. Action scenes give way to existential debates on personally owned boats after a scuba dive. The nature of cybercrime has undertaken frightening new dimensions when it becomes clear that anyone with an augmented brain is susceptible to being "ghost hacked". Meaning entire memories can be fabricated in the name of manipulating others to commit crimes against their will. The revelations of the film ebb closer to intimate when it is later explained that the central perpetrator of these crimes is but a gambit designed to be controlled by corporate and government interests, now sentient, and eager for release from its limited digital form. It is here that the possibility of transcendence beyond form is introduced, and the film version of Ghost takes on a more melancholy, spiritual tone. As Kusanagi's dilemma of self reaches a crescendo by her meeting face to face with her quarry, the onus is on that of the audience to question why it is they do what they do, and what one can do to better define themselves through virtue of action. Years of doing the state's morally grey work isn't even touched upon. There is little to no judgment to be had regarding the Major's life. But it is clear that her crisis of self is a palpable one. One that could so easily be shared with that of the film's director.
Still a leap away from Masamune Shirow's more comedic and passive anarchy, the film raises the gravitas without a single wink. The rainsoaked streets of Hong Kong, the sad eyes of what would become an ever present avatar in Oshii's films, a Bassett Hound, and the glare of high powered light off of weathered walls and wet concrete. The feel of the film as a whole borders on the funereal. Which is further complimented by Kenji Kawaii's absolutely haunting score. Echoing an ancient east where the borders between the tangible and spiritual worlds seemed so much thinner, Oshii's Ghost films imply a renewed bond by way of humanity's almost instinctive need to mimic this fabric. We may not get a pulse pounding action drama regarding life in an ever treacherous technological landscape, but what we do get is a somber, thoughtful meditation on what it means to maintain one's humanity when our will to detach overrides a will to connect.
If anything, the legacy of Ghost In The Shell, in the west is fraught with the occasional misunderstanding. Not to mention some lingering orientalism that was ever present in the 1990s. Embers of a past still obsessed with the image of a tech monolith known as Japan. The world of Kusanagi and Section 9, is that of a nation recovering from great international calamity, only rendered more dangerous due to the ever blurring line between sentient humans and machines. Treated as matter of fact, the post-singularity world of the film is one that never feels to far removed from possibility. In many ways, transcending that of Scott's vision twenty-three years prior. It feels both lived in, and frighteningly possible. Especially in how we are granted a window often with a cold sense of the mundane. Yet there is a liveliness through Hiromasa Ogura's incredible background paintings, and tangible weight through Hiroyuki Okiura's realistic character designs. Made at the beginning of a style that was just beginning to take hold; a concerted effort to portray animation as live action film. And as such, there's a magnetic pull within the film, allowing the viewer to not merely sit passively, but to absorb themselves into the world Oshii and company have fashioned.
Twenty two years later, the power of what remains Oshii's most popular film overseas lingers in so many films that have come in its wake. Maybe not to the level that Otomo's AKIRA casts a huge shadow, but still creeping in the background like a specter ever reminding us how easily two mediums can indeed trade places. When stacked alongside the ever-commonly used flag post in the Wachowski's Matrix, Ghost remains the more transformative of the two. My relationship with that film has morphed greatly, and is more indicative of all things that most enraptured me in 1990s pop culture. While Ghost, continues to grant new perspectives and questions with each viewing. It's a testament to both the vision of a reclusive visionary, and a perpetually pensive filmmaker with more on his mind that pretty women with firearms. There is a haunted soul behind every frame of Ghost In The Shell, and its one that continues to infer that even blockbusters are capable of demanding more of their audience. Still a future worth fighting for.

Your AC System-Repair Or Replace?
To fix or replace? That is the question, particularly subsequently it comes to your air-conditioning system. past newer systems are more energy efficient, it sometimes makes more desirability to replace a system rather than spend money on costly repairs. Industry averages suggest an let breathe conditioner should last 12 to 15 years, as long as you have a recognized technician act out regular preventative keep and service.
When a system is young, it may be cost-effective to make easy repairs that can prolong the energy of the system. However, replacing a system may be the best solution for the bigger problems that can result from an older system. In either case, comparing the price of repairs to replacement fees may encourage you rule what to do.
Consider AC Repair Costs
As you make your comparison, announce activity costs. Today's further air-conditioning systems are as much as 60 percent more efficient than systems manufactured 10 years ago. as a result if you are concerned virtually further bills and are faced as soon as an expensive repair, you may want to look at the computer graphics savings a extra system offers.
The nature of the fix is furthermore important. Repairs that require the replacement of system components may outcome in a mismatched system. Components that realize not acquiesce can decrease system efficiency, compromise your comfort and cut the lifespan of the compressor.
Two-Stage Cooling
Speaking of comfort, if repairs to an sharp trouble will not address ongoing comfort issues, such as cold spots in your home, drafts, humidity issues or ventilate setting concerns, it may be a good grow old to adjudicate a supplementary system. Today's systems come up with the money for a variety of new features, including two-stage cooling, humidifiers and ultraviolet lights, that are designed to bump comfort and count up indoor let breathe quality.
As you make the decision to repair or replace, rely on the exper-tise of a credited contractor, who is licensed to preserve and promote your system. If replacing your system seems appropriate, he or she can run by the importance of efficiency and hermetically sealed ratings, load calculations, comfort features and warranties, as you prefer a other system.
Managing Your Winter Heating Costs
With todays growing costs for fuel, people are looking more and more toward vary heating methods. People who breathing in climates where it gets frosty have to have a means to heat their homes. Natural gas is used most often today in the united States. This type of cartoon is found in most homes that have a central heating system. Fossil fuel prices, though, are rising at an alarmingly brusque rate. Because of this, many homeowners are looking for less costly substitute to heat their home. different heating methods are attainment in popularity for many consumers.
Choosing alternative heating methods can be tricky and there are many things that infatuation to be taken into consideration. The first thing a consumer should pull off once looking at alternating heating methods is to compare every the various types handy in the particular place in which you reside. Then, check what the costs are for those liveliness sources. Some areas have forward-thinking cost than others. Electricity is sometimes cheaper than natural gas in some areas. However, the reverse can along with be true. Propane and oil are supplementary types of activity sources that can be considered as vary heating methods. Solar power is other of the substitute heating methods that are increasing in popularity and may be ideal in many areas of the country.
Alternative heating methods should as a consequence be compared to the type of construction that is living thing done. If you are building a agreed supplementary structure, you have a variety of options. However, if you are remodeling or accumulation upon to an existing structure, these should be taken separately. If you are remodeling an existing space, there may be some extensive refurbishing that will craving to be done back interchange heating methods can be utilized. You will habit to examine the cost savings across several years and compare that with the initial investment. If you plan to living in the house for several years, the cost may be without difficulty worth the initial investment previously the savings, beyond time, may be significant even if there is a larger initial investment. However, if you scheme upon staying in the home a shorter era of time, you may desire to wait until you are in a place that you plot on staying longer because the cost savings will be seen higher than a period of years in order to get a indispensable compensation upon your investment.
A heat loss totaling is a indispensable too to use following behind vary heating methods. This is important in determining the size and talent of the swing heating methods that obsession to be used in the home. A professional will use this calculation to offer the maximum potential for savings. If a unit is too little for the home, it will show overtime trying to heat the place and will cost more money. If you have a unit that is sized perfectly to your home it will be moving picture efficient and will permit you to get the maximum pro for your investment. The reverse is as well as true. If you get a unit that is too large for your home, you will stop taking place wasting grant on a unit that is full of zip and using happening too much vigor in your home.
The flooring and sub floor of the building should afterward be considered past choosing rotate heating methods. If you have real floors, tile, hardwood or carpeting, clear rotate heating methods are augmented in each application. There are some every other heating methods that will perform charmingly in every situations and some that are meant to be in more efficiently like a specific material. afterward regard as being if you plot on changing the type of flooring in your home to determine if you want to have alternative heating methods that are versatile tolerable to manage to pay for you the compliance to correct in the future. If you have an existing structure this may be interchange than if you are pouring a totally further slab for your building or addition.
An rotate heating methods professional will be adept to back you evaluate every the potential oscillate heating methods handy to you, collective in imitation of the specifics of your structure to back up you determine the best practicable heating source for your home. taking into consideration when a company, always create definite the company has years of experience and good, hermetic references. do some research on your own as with ease to ensure what the interchange heating methods professionals are telling you is in stock when what your independent research tells you. exchange heating methods are an investment in your far ahead and you will be nimble to have a less costly system more than several years bearing in mind a tiny research and care.
HVAC Systems
A HVAC system is expected to use ventilate ducts to urge on involve the let breathe for heating and cooling. The size of the ventilate ducts as capably as where they are located will depend on the layout of the house or the business. Those that are credited in the area of installing such systems have to be accomplished to rule every the factors for a particular set up. This way it will behave as it should and also be life efficient.
If you compulsion to amend your heating and cooling systems you should see into HVAC systems. get a couple of professionals to come in and meet the expense of you a clear estimate. The amount of grant you will keep upon vibrancy prices can really grow stirring higher than get older so it is an excellent investment. Homes that have HVAC systems afterward have a highly developed resell value and more buyers are expecting to locate them in place.
The entire concept of HVAC systems while focuses upon the idea of proper ventilation though. This is what makes the entire process ham it up considering it should. This freshening process along with helps to keep the air clean by removing bacteria from it before it starts to declare again. Many HVAC installers are dedicated to offering the unconditionally best air atmosphere and this is portion of achieving it.
There are continually further standards implemented relating to HVAC systems. This is to guard everyone that is exposed to them. They moreover have to assume every of the various types of coolants that art allowance of the system. There are many oscillate parts to a HVAC system though. They may seem foreign to those that dont have a clue how to install them.
If you obsession to improve your current heating and cooling in order to acquire the most efficiency from it, now is the time. HVAC systems will no question put up to to bend the expose circulating in your home or your office. This is good news as you should be willing anywhere in your home that you go. You also dont want to agreement gone employees complaining all the get older that it is too chilly or too warm in their ham it up area.

Today a bee on the M249 range stung me. It got my left ring finger. I was getting ready to qualify when it stung me. I swept it away like a fly with my hand and that's when it happened. It wasn't that bad. I did feel a little bit of pain and to this minute I still feel some pain in that finger. I'm glad I'm not allergic to bee stings.
We spent the rest of the day qualifying on the SAW. I guess I'm going to be a SAW gunner now. My position is assistant squad leader/SAW gunner. I sure won't mind this position in Iraq, as long as I don't have to walk everywhere. The only fact that I don't like is that the Humvee is a soft target. It's not like being in a tank.

My Crafty Family : part XI
Just look here what i recieved from my uncle : a totally
gorgeous Christmas Sampler ! It is the same one my
aunt and uncle have in their living room during the
Christmas season and my uncle was so sweet to make
another one, just because i liked it so much, how sweet
is that.
As i had to take it on the plane with me, it is not yet

Kuwait, Iraq express satisfaction over joint cmte meeting
KUWAIT, May 26 (KUNA) -- Representatives of the foreign ministries of the State of Kuwait, and the Republic of Iraq showed Thursday their satisfaction at the positive atmosphere marked by candour and transparency during the meeting held by the Kuwaiti-Iraqi Joint Committee.
Iraqi Ambassador in Kuwait Mohammad Bahr Al-Ulum said, in a statement to KUNA, that the Iraqi delegation arrived here yesterday coming from Baghdad, "in order to follow up, and get sufficient information regarding misgivings that surfaced in the Iraqi street on the project of Mubarak Al-Kabeer on Boubyan island." Further, Bahr Al-Ulum expressed his satisfaction over results of the meeting which was, "very reassuring and comprehensive as it tackled all questions posed by the Iraqi side, and answered professionally, and accurately by the Kuwaiti side." He also made clear that these results will be submitted to the political leadership in his own country, "in order to make them well-acquainted and to provide them with all necessary information including an array of maps and documents," noting that the delegation will make a trip to the project's site to closely watch all works on the ground.
In the same vein, Bahr Al-Ulum expressed his thanks and appreciation for the members of the Kuwaiti delegation for what they showed of candour at the meeting, and for their positive attitude on maintaining the main goal of keeping good ties between the two brotherly countries.
Meanwhile, Khaled Al-Mughamis, Director of the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry's Follow-up and Coordination Directorate, and head of the Kuwaiti delegation at the meeting, said, "we have briefed the Iraqi delegation on the background details of Mubarak Al-Kabeer port project as well as information which were not known to them." Al-Mughamis added that, "we have totally clarified the project's purpose, its mechanisms, and the measures which are being taken in the present time." Asked if the meeting led to the issue of some recommendations, Al-Mughamis said that no recommendations were made by the meeting, "as it is just a technical working team that had some questions, and wanted to get some answers for them, and so it is a kind of bilateral cooperation between the two countries in order to clarify some matters that may be unknown for Iraqi brothers

chicken baguette. chicken breast, tomato, grilled onions, mayo, dijon mustard, greens, provolone, french dressing.
croque madame. sauce bechamel, sunny side up egg, gruyere.
gateau fraise. strawberries, whipped cream, sponge cake. "light" dessert can be so deceiving.
I always want to drag my sleepyhead bum for breakfast at Amandine, so far mission unaccomplished. Breakfast is only served to 11.30 am on weekdays and with tons of excuses later, I guess I'm gonna keep enjoying their lunch.
The moment you walked in, a whole array of desserts are welcoming you, and how you can say no to those beautiful looking cakes and cookies. They have some delicious pastries as well, the french croissant was so crispy and buttery layer after layer. Either you go with the sandwiches, coffee, pastries, or desserts, you can't go wrong. Feel free to bring your laptop and enjoy their free wi-fi. The only cons of being in the business district, Amandine tends to get very busy at lunch hours and parking is annoying.

Chapter 14
Cathrine and Ariella are Ambushed
"Oh, no not now." Arillia groaned grasping at my hand. "Please for my sake, lets just run!"
I nodded and away we ran.
"Arillia, wait the horses!" I huffed.
"Stop it just call me Ariella and I saw Rolic and Lissie leading them away. Don't worry I told them to meet us at the boarder and we're close enough if we outrun them we'll be fine."
But just as she said that two guards blocked our only exit. "Lookee here." Sneered the short one. "It's the princess and her litt'el friend." I backed away and Arillia ooh, I mean Ariella (she needs to quite doing that it confuses me) Ariella instinctively grabbed at her daggers only to be jabbed in the stomach. "Haha she thought she could get away with that!" the short but still muscley guard laughed maliciously. "Yes ma-princess we've found you at last and ma'Lord Fredic'll be so pleased." His beady eyes bore into mine. "Mayhaps he'll give us a pretty penny for her."
"Excuse me!" Ariella spat. "I'm not going anywhere with you!"
"Har, har, har!" The short guard laughed hysterically.
"We could care less about you little girl, we really only need the princess but we'll be taking ye just the same." The tall guard growled grabbing my arm and squeezing. "And if ye try anything funny we'll break her arm. My Lord Fredric said do whatever is necessary to secure the prize." He stared down at me and squeezed again for good measure I cried out in spite of myself. "Drayden!" He barked to the short guard. "Grab the dark gal, we need to get moving!"
"You...You're." I stuttered. "You're from Perlusha and your Fredic's royal guard?"
"Yes, little Princess."
"Why are you calling me...princess."
"That's what ye are and when we get you're mother we'll be set for life!" "Har, Har." Drayden laughed. "Good un' Captain!"
"Quiet!" He barked again. "Get the gal now or I'll leave you behind!" Drayden obeyed muttering under his breath.
"I'd have thought Fredric would have better guards." Ariella said sounding bored. "I mean you to have the poorest accents I've ever heard and the poorest manners I might add."
"Drayden, you'd better gag her."
I glared at him my courage returning to me. "Don't you dare!"
"Ah, you'd better be quiet too little Princess we've a gag for you as well."
Just then something flashed and two guards flabbergasted turned around scowling and that was when I saw Rolic.
Hope that thrilling sequence gets you excited for more!

This is my boring hallway with what used to be a bare wall with dusty ol' blinds. And, well I had this fabric laying (lying?) around.. (ie. went out of my way and searched and searched at joanne fabric for 1000.00ish a yard fabric) look what I did with it though! Just admire. Are you? Good.
Tack and fold, tack and fold. How freaking easy is that? I know! And, no it's not perfect, it's too long on one side. Too poofy on the other. But you know what- neither am I. I couldn't count the flaws. But don't care right now..Luh-ve it!
This is my bathroom window which is halfway into my tub/shower. I didn't want to buy something when ta-da I can make it! So, no sewing for this lazy chick. I used safety pins! each side I folded, pined. Then for the two middle parts I sintched, folded, sintched folded- Still with me? Then pin! I then GLUED, yep glued. The ribbon down the middle and glued a sepereate bow to each side. Nailed the top up with upholstery tacks and voila! Grogeous. To me atleast.
Did you enjoy? I enjoyed showing you. My one viewer out there. I see you!

25hours Hotel The Goldman
The 25hours Hotel The Goldman makes a colourful statement that contrasts sharply with the samey look often favoured by hotels. This hotel in Frankfurt's Ostend is made up of two parts with contrasting guest rooms. The 49 rooms in the western wing draw their inspiration from local personalities and present Frankfurt as an urban metropolis ruled by fate and a city worth living in. Meanwhile, the 48 hotel rooms in the eastern part of the building were inspired by both the architecture and the philosophy of the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The 25hours Hotel Frankfurt The Goldman is located on Hanauer Landstraße in Frankfurt's creative east end. Modern architecture carves out its place here alongside industrial memorials. Night owls encounter business travellers, big city adventurers meet urban pilgrims. Local legends and international celebrities, above all the famous director from the neighbourhood, Ardi Goldman, gives the splash of colour in the districts its multi-faceted personality. Under the direction of the Frankfurt-based artists Michael Dreher and Delphine Buhro, two worlds have been created with vastly differing lifestyles. The Western Sector is home to personalised, playful rooms with a romantic touch. The cool Eastern Sector oozes the raw charm of the UN Headquarters in New York. The Oost Bar can be a lounge, a bar, or a stage for local artists. At the Goldman Restaurant, stylish ambience meets an honest cuisine of the highest standard.

My hard drive started failing in Orlando. One day it bogged way down, then took me four tries to get it to reboot. I gimped along and worked on it for 2.5 days after returning. Monday afternoon I went to the Apple Store where the Genius plugged in a diagnostic cable and wrinkled up his forehead. "Are you backed up?"
I wasn't. Because our old, decrepit network at the office is full of outdated garbage and wouldn't hold my 96GB of files.
I'm not sure if it was exhaustion or having a hundred other things on my mind or blind faith in my beloved Mac, but I did not lose my shit. I didn't even wince. I marched over to the accessories wall and selected a 500GB external drive. I handed it to the Genius along with my Amex. "Here. Back it up, then replace the drive. Call me when you're done." The new drive is covered under warranty, and the external unit was $110 and something I need for backups anyway since the network is worthless.
He said he did not think he'd be able to back it up, but he'd try. I said, "It'll work."
Then I left, picked up more banana boxes from the grocery on the way, and came home to work on my personal Mac.
At 7:38 that night the Genius called. "I got everything backed up. Your new hard drive is being installed and you should be able to pick it up tomorrow morning."
I picked it up, along with my new external drive, but continued to work from home as I had pressing deadlines and no time to reinstall all my software.
That was this morning's task. Took me four hours to get everything reloaded and configured, but I'm back in business.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I'm such a huge Apple fan.


text: I had an emcs under ga 20 mths ago with my second child. It was very traumatic and got quite tearful for a long time after. I have my last (I think) appointment with the consultant next week (Friday 13th 😕 lol), I will be 32 wks. I know I want an elcs due to what happened with my second child and also with my first child he was 9Ib 6oz born via forceps with a cut, so I don't want to be going through that again either. The consultant is very nice, put no pressure on a vbac or elcs, just gave me the facts etc of each option. So why do I feel nervous about telling her I want and elcs and why do I feel like I need to explain myself as to why I want an elcs? Whenever I spk to people about it I feel as if I have to justify my decision. Am I weird lol cos I just don't understand myself 😣

It's easier to get kids to pick up their toys when they have neat, fun toy boxes in their rooms. If your kid has a lot of breakable toys, choose a box that is lined with gentle material.
The best advantage of utilizing the sheds is that you can build a individual website your self with out the help of a experienced. So you will be conserving some bucks as successfully.

If you like the concept of hanging your resources on the wall then a fantastic option for you to think about is peg boards. They can also be hung on hooks. You can find affordable hooks in many various sized to fit virtually any need you might have. Big hooks with a deep well are accessible for hanging some of your larger products and keeping them off of the flooring like ladders and bikes.
Because of the metal storage cabinets, the proprietor of the business has been able to expand his stock. We're able to keep monitor of what we have in a matter of minutes every working day. Our next step is to get the Pc Storage Cabinet so we can have a mobile parts tracking method. In between the capability and the sturdiness, these cabinets have saved me from what I believed was heading to be a nightmare.
