They left for Scout Summer Camp this morning. I am really missing them. Billy and I had another huge arguement and sometimes it is over the stupidest stuff. But he doesn't talk to me and makes comments like "He's always wrong" that just grate my nerves. And usually it always stems down to his son. Always. But I decided to tell him how scared I am about this upcoming surgery. I know it is nothing. I know they do this all the time. I know that it is outpatient and only takes about an hour. I know 2 others that have had the same thing done in just a few months time. But I still am scared. Scared what if...what if it turns out to be just more than what was expected?? What if it is cancer? I mean seriously....there is always that if ya know and it is scaring me. So I share this with him and do you think he even gets up and gives me a hug? tell me it will be okay. NO. Nothing. I was so hurt. It's probably just me being a pain in the tush. But for me being so excited they were leaving today and I would have some "alone" time....I'm really feeling very alone right now and I don't like it. I want him back home.
I had scheduled to get my hair cut and highlighted tomorrow but I am thinking about cancelling it. I just am not in the mood. I wish I could of done it today...maybe it would of made today better but I don't know....it takes for ever to do it and I just don't want to get home late tomorrow..ya know...although what does it matter...its just me and Kayla so it wouldn't hurt I guess to do it.
Geeshhhh I hate feeling like this. It's almost how I used to feel when I was battling depression. I hate it. I hate not wanting to do anything. I don't even want to scrap today. All this free time and nothing. All I have done is sit here and cry today.
but on a happy note....here are some new layouts :) I made them last week for the upcoming DT call at Tallyscrapper.
And tomorrow I MUST get back into the working out routine. I didn't do any last week and today I have ate popcorn, chips/dip, oreo cookies....all this crap. I feel horrible so back to the regular schedule tomorrow! I must!

Nothing special but there are things I wanted to tell you ^___^
2) Please take a look~
A classmate created her own blog a while ago! Her english skills are sooo good..same goes for her german skills! She's writing about very interesting stuff!

I went and worked out today for about an hour. What am I suppose to do with the rest of my day? I drank about 4 beers and ate pizza.
People do weird things for weird reasons. I cried in the spin room today. I tried to let out some emotional aggression while pedaling my brains out. I cried because I miss him. I miss us. I miss my best friend. My partner in crime. My buddy. It's been replaced with walls of stone and brick and restraint and anger.
and you want to know why I can't see him? It's because it won't mean the same thing to him as it does to me. I want an "us". He wants a "for now". And yet I find myself doing the same thing to a perfectly wonderful person.
I think I am entering the portion of this depression known as, "lets sleep through this."
Tonight my friend Chris told me that he thought of me as someone "who is afraid to be alone".
Well, maybe I am. How much alone time does someone need? A week, a month a day? I suppose I used to think that I had too many friends to keep up with. Now, I have too many friends to track down and see if anyone wants to spend some alone time with me.
So why, mister Freud, would I be afraid to be alone? Because I'm an opportunist? Because I want to spend my life around other people? Because if I'm alone, there's no chance of meeting the father of my children which means I'll continue to be childless until ..... ?
This morning I was so angry that I literally wanted to drive over to my ex's house and drag him out and beat the shit out of him, even if it was in front of his child. I just wanted to feel the weight of my emotions have a physical impact on his body. I know that's not healthy - so I went to the gym. I'm not sure if that is the BEST therapy but it does give me an outlet other than beer and carbs. And boys.

This morning was rather hectic (more on that later…), and I didn't have time to make lunch. Now, on Tuesday's I am at school until 9pm, so I have to pack lunch AND dinner. I didn't have any choice but to eat out.
I didn't have any time at lunch to go off campus, so I trotted over to Burger King (BLAH!) and picked up a garden salad. For Burger King, it wasn't too bad. I'm still reluctant to try their veggie burgers. Has anyone tried them? If so, what did you think? I'm just a little nervous, because I refuse to eat fast food. Makes my stomach churn…..
On to dinner….since I have a couple hours free between my office hours and my night class, I decided to go to my favorite coffee shop off campus (it's just on the edge of campus and very convenient). You can visit their website here. They are a ministry of one of the local churches in Macomb. Their menu is wonderful! Lots of tasty drinks, and all of their food is homemade by their own chef. It is 100% fresh food as well. Usually I get the San Francisco grilled sandwich (veggie sandwich with roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, portobello mushrooms, tomatoes), but tonight I opted for something a little different. I ordered the Chipotle wrap which has chicken, caramelized onions, corn, and beans with a chipotle mayonnaise and grilled. I had mine on a spinach wrap. It was delicious, as I expected. This place does not let down! In fact, it was so good that I didn't take a picture, because I just forgot!!!
I've been really horrible at posting pictures, but I'm hoping I can start taking pictures again – maybe even using the camera on my macbook, but we'll see. I still need to play with it. Y'all know I am a very busy girl! Off to do a little more thesis writing before class. Catch ya later! 🙂 I'll leave you with this hilarious picture of my nephew. He's a cutie!!!

I've had the pedals sitting on my desk for ages, so it was about time I got cracking with them and made up the kicker pedal.
I decided to draw around the existing kicker arm. My thinking was that when i put the new pedal on I could make sure it was on the same angle....
To split the pedal down this end cap has to be removed, which reveals 2 nuts with a washer in between them.
Once the spindle was out, I put the bearings etc into a plastic sandwich bag (I'm dreadful for loosing things).
I cut the existing pedal out, and then slotted the top. I also ground a flat onto the spindle for it to fit inside...
Next step was to grind back some of the chrome and the crap on the pedal to give a clean surface to weld to.
Then my little outline on the bench really paid off –
Then it was a case of welding it all up. Toddy showed me how to do something similar on a pedal I made over at his, and I noticed that once he welded it up, he cut a deep V into all the areas that were previously not together. This allowed for a strong weld between all the areas to be built up.
I got a fair bit of heat in it, but this is it still glowing!
I roughly ground back some of the welds – I'll take some more time over them with a scotch bright disc when I've sorted out a die grinder or a bigger compressor.
And when it's re-assembled it looks something like this:-
I smashed out the reflectors – so I'll be scheming something to replace them – maybe I'll try some engraving?!?

Egypt Gets Its Khomeini
By Barry Rubin
Friday, February 18 may be a turning point in Egyptian history. On that day Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the best-known Muslim Brotherhood cleric in the world and one of the most famous Islamist thinkers, will address a mass rally in Cairo.
Up until now, the Egyptian revolution generally, and the Brotherhood in particular, has lacked a charismatic thinker, someone who could really mobilize the masses. Qaradawi is that man. Long resident in the Gulf, he is returning to his homeland in triumph. Through internet, radio, his 100 books, and his weekly satellite television program, Qaradawi has been an articulate voice for revolutionary Islamism. He is literally a living legend.
Under the old regime, Qaradawi was banned from the country. He is now 84 years old -- two years older than the fallen President Husni Mubarak--but he is tremendously energetic and clear-minded. Read More

I was surfing and thinking about what I wanted to say on this Memorial Day. I stopped in to Old Bluejacket's Patriotic Flicks and watched Hall Of Heroes.
Honor their sacrifice and keep their memories bright that we never forget their valor and courage. They are our brothers and sisters and the best of us. Keep their families in your prayers, not just today but every day.
Ken, we miss you. Rest in peace my brother.

"Who are you trying to fool that you haven't read Hamlet before?" says Jerry. And he's right, of course. I've read Hamlet more than a few times.
But it's different every time I read it, like catching up with an old friend. I always find a different reaction to the text. This time I forced myself not to read the footnotes or any material other than the text itself. I'm a bit of a footnote junkie, which is why I love the Arden editions. But this time would be just the play, just my reaction to Hamlet.
My reaction? To question my own reaction.
I read the play as most "right-thinking" theatrepeople do these days. I read the play as a taut, plotted Jacobean Revenge Tragedy. It's a thriller and a murder mystery. It's an action flick much closer to Gibson than Olivier. "To be or not to be" isn't a meditation on suicide, it's a strategem designed to deceive the people Hamlet knows are spying on him. To me, Hamlet is a play of politics and surveillance and murder.
But am I just trapped in our "modern" interpretation? We like to think all those earlier generations that saw a lyric poem and a madman were wrong. But I wonder what Hamlet will be 100 years from now and what my granddaughter will think of my interpretation. We think we see so damn clearly, like we finally were the ones to figure it out. We think that the advice to the players reflects our sensibilities ... but didn't every generation?
We may have figured out our Hamlet, but Hamlet remains. It'll be their Hamlet soon enough. What will it be?

Gay rights win in Warcraft world
The maker of the hugely popular online game, World of Warcraft, has changed its policy on gay teams following an outcry from many players.

Blizzard has officially apologised to the guild recruiter, saying the warning should never have been issued.
What's next? Virtual gay pride marches? Oh wait! Already happened.
Gay pride marches are known to have taken place in Warcraft and there are many other guilds in the game that are known to be friendly toward the gay community.

This spread consisted of a Dolce de Leche Cheese Cake, a New York Cheese Cake with Blackberries, and the cupcakes. Oh yes the cupcakes were the belle of the ball for sure. They are just a simple vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. The heart is a white chocolate hart with sugar bead accents. I made about 48 of those buggers, but sure glad I did, they were flying off the table before the cake was cut! Now I didn't make Leah's wedding cake, but I added the flowers to give it a touch of elegance.

We have a bit of an obsession at our house with all things Care Bear. Kate started watched some old Care Bears movies that Yiayia had kept from Karyn's childhood, and it has grown from there. Eventually Kate asked me for a Care Bear, and Nick was very clear that she have some original Care Bears so I headed to eBay to purchase what she wanted. I bought her three: Share Bear, Love-a-lot Bear, and Bedtime Bear. she calls Share Bear "Purple Care Bear" and she calls Love-a-lot Bear "Share Bear". So whatever.
Today we made the rounds at a few thrift stores and what do you know...we found a Cheer Bear for sale! Now, she's not an original bear, she was made in 2007 according to her tag so she looks a little bit different, but to a two-year-old who thinks doesn't do anything without one of her Care Bears these days she didn't care. Poor Purple Care Bear was dismissed to Mommy's purse so Kate could love on the new Cheer Bear. I also happened to find a bag of small PVC bear figurines for her to play with, so it was a great day at Thrift Town today.

He said at the time: "Movie-wise, he's tied up with his next two movies, but hopefully, there's something down the line when he's finished with that. I always look forward to working with him because Cameron is a very talented director."
Cameron – who has brought in screenwriters Josh Friedman, Shane Salerno, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver to help develop the script – recently announced he would be shooting three 'Avatar' sequels back-to-back starting next year, but it is not known whether Schwarzenegger will star in all of them.
The epic eco-warrior adventure will pick up from the end of the first flick, with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) permanently becoming a Na'vi avatar alongside his new love, Princess Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).
Production is scheduled for 2014 with the first movie to be released in December 2016, the second in December 2017 and the third in 2018.

Once you agree that it's time to ditch the old and get with the times, make sure the staff has ample opportunity to be trained properly so they can perform at their full potential. Check out what type of training is available and make sure you offer up what best suits the needs of your software engineers so they feel prepared before diving into that exciting, new technology.
Employees love recognition. Whether they're doing that task that no one else wants to do or have taken the initiative to do something new, they don't want their hard work to go unnoticed. Software engineers are often introverts and prefer private rather than public recognition and might especially appreciate peer recognition for an outstanding piece of creative code. Establishing a culture in which people regularly thank each other and express gratitude to their coworkers and staff can make for a happy workforce. Globoforce is one company that helps organizations recognize the power of recognition and how to do it well.

text: It is hard to believe that I have less than 20 days left abroad. My birthday is at the end of this week and my wonder abroad experience is coming to an end. I have loved every minute of being here so again I am going to post my 95 things page. If you missed the last post about my 95 things I will link it as well as explain. Before I came to London I made a list of 95 things I wanted to try and accomplish while I was abroad. By no means did I think I would complete the entire list but I also did not think I would have completed as much as I have. This experience has been an amazing opportunity and one I will continue to enjoy until I fly home. I still have one more trip planned, my birthday, and some exploring of England to do before I go. So stay tuned! Cheers!

We sat patiently through the scrolling credits, letting name after name wash over our eyeballs, for only a treat at the end: he post-credit sequence. And we weren't disappointed. As the camera glances over the pager, we see it: the red and blue insignia with a white star at its centre, the mark of … Oh, wait
Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead. If you haven't watched Infinity War yet, well this post isn't for you. Read something else on the page.
Ok, now we can speak the heart out. The post-credit scenes give a major clue as to how Avengers 4 (Untitled) and the future of the MCU will play out.
After Thanos successfully eradicates half of all existence, achieving his grand plan to bring balance to the universe, we're painfully forced to bear witness to some of our favourite heroes simply disappearing from existence: Black Panther, Spider-Man, Star-Lord.
But that leaves many MCU favourites with fates entirely unknown and the post-credits sequence brings in two more simply to deal them the death blow. We open in New York City, presumably moments after Thanos finally gets his hands on all the Infinity Stones and unleashes destruction.
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) are heard discussing the search for Tony Stark, as Fury adds he's been attempting to get into contact with Clint (Barton A.K.A. Hawkeye), before leaping out of their car as the world descends into chaos: cars crash into each other, helicopters fall out of the sky, as people start simply disappearing into thin air.
Maria is the first to go, as she looks at Nick with complete and utter disbelief. Before the same happens to Nick he manages to reach into his pocket and pull out a peculiar-looking pager; he disappears before he can utter "motherf**ker" and the pager falls to the ground.
As the camera glances over the pager, we see it: the red and blue insignia with a white star at its centre, the mark of one Captain Marvel.
We know Captain Marvel has her own movie coming next year, before the next Avengers film. And while we're still not certain where she falls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, we're pretty sure the movie will focus on her origin story from the '90s — and that Avengers: Infinity War end-credits scene makes it super likely she'll appear in the next Avengers film.
What are Captain Marvel's powers?
In the comics, she's gone through some changes over the years, but the current version of Captain Marvel has these powers:
- Flight
- Superhuman strength and durability
- Energy manipulation: She can shoot energy blasts (and lasers) from her hands.
- Energy Absorption: She can absorb energy, like lightning, and this absorption actually augments her other abilities, making her even more powerful.
Where did Captain Marvel get her powers?
In the comics, she got her powers from a Kree alien named Mar-vell, who was the original Captain Marvel. (Kree are the same race as Ronan from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.)
Captain Marvel is set for release on March 29, 2019. The next chapter in the MCU timeline is Ant-Man and the Wasp, coming July 18 of this year. And finally, the next Avengers movie arrives May 4, 2019.

I Did Not Know That
From the BBC, 100 things we didn't know this time last year. A "crash" of samples:
I bet you stayed longer than thirty seconds!
| Permalink Here
From the BBC, 100 things we didn't know this time last year. A "crash" of samples:
2. Farmers plant their crops up to three weeks earlier than 15 years ago. In the 1960s, temperatures from January to March averaged 4.2C; it rose to 5.6C in the 1990s.
3. Brussels sprouts have three times as much vitamin C as oranges.
8. Brazilians are the nationality most likely to read spam.
19. The collective noun for rhinos is "crash".
26. The full names of Scooby Doo's Mystery Inc members are: Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Scooby "Scoobert" Doo. Shaggy is actually Norville Rogers.
31. Herrings break wind to communicate and keep the school together.
38. Yoda was based on Albert Einstein.
68. Bill Clinton revealed in his autobiography that he didn't learn to ride a bike properly until he was 22.
86. You can see the back of your own head in some parts of the universe as time and light are so curved. The universe is neither flat, nor football shaped - it looks like a flat-sided trumpet, German physicists believe.
87. One gigabyte of information - about a quarter of the memory of an iPod mini - is the equivalent of a pick-up truck load of paper.
96. One in four 16- and 17-year-old girls in the UK is on the contraceptive pill - more than ever before.
97. Matt Groening's father - the inspiration for Homer Simpson - has only complained once about his alter-ego's actions. It was an episode in which Homer badgered Marge into walking some considerable distance on a hot day to fetch him something.
100. Bill Clinton sent just two e-mails while he was president.

Spoiler alert: Things You should not get a lot less serious in 2014.

So I am tired and need to vent a bit. Got a minute, or 70?
Lately I have been fighting sinus issues more than usual. This winter has been brutal on my sinuses and I can't tell if it has to do with the temperature, my allergies or some unidentified pollutant.
My bathroom ceiling is a mess, again, because of the tenants upstairs. They do not put their shower curtain inside the tub when they shower, so I now (again) have a leak in my bathroom ceiling. The owner upstairs is trying to get them out because it seems that they don't like to pay rent either. They can't leave soon enough.
I am working full time again as of the first of the year and running my daughter to Taekwondo and Gymnastics, on top of helping her with these projects that she gets every month, (2 a month, part of the gifted program) which doesn't leave a whole lot of time for anything else.
So needless to say I am in the throes of a winter meltdown, again, as usual.
My new question is this. Is society so broken that we do not see the benefit of having a mother stay at home and be a mother, instead of running around like a lunatic and being too stressed to teach her kids the important stuff in life? Where did the sense of community go?
When women burned their bras and protested for equality, where were the women that liked things the way they were? Couldn't there have been a compromise? There is no way to be a 'stay at home' mom without a man supporting you.
We are all slaves to the system and there isn't an easy way out unless you have money. Schooling has changed so drastically that they don't teach you how to care for a home, cook, clean, grow things, etc. What happened to home ec?
They don't teach you in school that you are working for someone else's wealth. They teach you that to be successful, you have to work for someone else and become a consumer. Period. Make the money to buy the stuff that makes you look successful, again and again..
Our schools now are worker bee factories. Get used to the schedule, follow the rules, don't question authority, learn how to be a good worker.
I am not religious but I have to say, the Amish seem to have the right idea. Their system is flawed, are most religions, but I think the intention is good and at the core is community and health.
I think it's time to create a pseudo-Amish community. Let's see what it takes to create a 'religion'…
Well I've vented the tip of the iceberg.. There will be more soon.

Amazing Boy, But I REALLY Wanted to Title It….Step Away From the Cough Drop Post
October 30, 2007
Our 9-year-old has a unique gift. I call it The Gift of Useless Talents. These are various things he has figured out that his body can do, sometimes after much practice. They are also things that have absolutely no purpose in life, except to amuse him in down times. By "down times" I mean, times when everyone else is bustling around the house doing chores, and he is sitting in the living room wondering what all the fuss is about because he still has 32 seconds until breakfast will be ready, and he can SO do his 6 chores in that amount of time.
Here are a few of the Useless Talents that he possesses……
1. He can fold his ears over themselves, until they are clumps of flesh, sticking out from his head where his ears USED to be. He does this while he reads, or watches a video, or during his especially inspiring times of wall-staring.
2. He can fling a wicker trash basket into the air, and catch it upside down before it hits the floor. Thankfully, he figured this one out AFTER he had emptied it.
3. He can touch his tongue to his nose. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
4. He is extremely capable of staring at the video screen while watching a DVD about penguins and their habitats, and entirely missing my call for Chore Time, but somehow always hearing the dinner bell. Amazing talent, that one.
5. He can eat a pancake into the shape of a John Deere 1992 XT Combine, with a detachable thresher, radio, air conditioning, rain gauge, and rocket launcher. Oh yeah, and it needs an oil change.
But he also has many talents that WILL be useful someday. Here is a small list of them…..
1. He can make guns out of K'nex that have locking chambers, pumping action, bolt action, cocking action, can shoot "bullets", AND have night vision capabilities! (Okay, I'm kinda stretching that last one, but the entire mechanism is there, set on the gun where it should be.)
2. He can build ANYthing you can think of out of Legos. That includes extremely intricate planes, farm equipment, kitchen appliances, gauze bandages, water animals, complete with fins and blowholes and little babies swimming along beside them, and steam.
3. He can figure out a math problem in his own little way that I would've paid people to teach me when I was in high school! I have to restrain myself from stopping him, and making him do it the "right" way. I did it the "right" way when I was in school, and it made me into the Biggest Math Loser in the Free World.
I'm not too worried about him being able to support a family once he becomes a man, because he is obviously gifted in the math/engineering venue. Although, now that I think about it, I'll bet the circus could use a guy who has the floppiest ear skin ever created!

World Wide Study Bible
a Bible passage
27. would—rather as Greek, "willed," or "was pleased to make known." He resolves all into God's good pleasure and will, that man should not glory save in God's grace.
what—How full and inexhaustible!
the riches of the glory of this mystery—He accumulates phrase on phrase to enhance the greatness of the blessing in Christ bestowed by God on the Gentiles. Compare Col 2:3, "all the treasures" of wisdom; Eph 3:8, "the unsearchable riches of Christ"; Eph 1:7, "riches of His grace." "The glory of this mystery" must be the glory which this once hidden, and now revealed, truth makes you Gentiles partakers of, partly now, but mainly when Christ shall come (Col 3:4; Ro 5:2; 8:17, 18; Eph 1:18). This sense is proved by the following: "Christ in you the hope of the (so Greek) glory." The lower was the degradation of you Gentiles, the higher is the richness of the glory to which the mystery revealed now raises you. You were "without Christ, and having no hope" (Eph 2:12). Now you have "Christ in you the hope of the glory" just mentioned. Alford translates, "Christ among you," to answer to "this mystery among the Gentiles." But the whole clause, "Christ IN you (Eph 3:17) the hope of glory," answers to "this mystery," and not to the whole sentence, "this mystery among the Gentiles." What is made known "among you Gentiles" is, "Christ in you (now by faith as your hidden life, Col 3:3; Ga 2:20) the hope of glory" (your manifested life). The contrast (antithesis) between "Christ in you" now as your hidden life, and "the hope of glory" hereafter to be manifested, requires this translation.

….which should come as no surprise to anyone in this country who happened to have voted for this punk. Another sell-out to America's corporate masters,and the White House has the gall to say that these new rules are not a sellout? Read the White House statement and then decide if they are slinging a load of crap.
Today was another historic sellout to big corporations by the Obama administration, not some kind of "win." We need to set the record straight.
I've put together a page with three clear reasons why today's rules are a sellout, allow corporate censorship, and end the Internet as we know it. I've also copied them below. Can you share this page with our friends so we can get the word out?
If you're on Twitter, please click to share this: NEWS: @FCC breaks Obama promise, allows corporate censorship - no Net Neutrality rules. 3 things to know: http://bit.ly/eVKyWH @WhiteHouse
If you're on Facebook, click here to spread the word.
Here's why today's rules are nothing but a sop to big business:
- Corporate censorship is allowed on your phone: The rules passed today by Obama FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski absurdly create different corporate censorship rules for wired and wireless Internet, allowing big corporations like Comcast to block websites they don't like on your phone -- a clear failure to fulfill Net Neutrality and put you, the consumer, in control of what you can and can't do online.
- Online tollbooths are allowed, destroying innovation: The rules passed today would allow big Internet Service Providers like Verizon and Comcast to charge for access to the "fast lane." Big companies that could afford to pay these fees like Google or Amazon would get their websites delivered to consumers quickly, while independent newspapers, bloggers, innovators, and small businesses would see their sites languish in the slow lane, destroying a level playing field for competition online and clearly violating Net Neutrality.
- The rules allow corporations to create "public" and "private" Internets, destroying the one Internet as we know it: For the first time, these rules would embrace a "public Internet" for regular people vs. a "private Internet" with all the new innovations for corporations who pay more -- ending the Internet as we know it and creating tiers of free speech and innovation, accessible only if you have pockets deep enough to pay off the corporations.
The FCC could have reclassified Internet as a communications service -- reversing a Bush-era mistake -- regulated greedy corporations like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T with enforceable rules, and protected free speech online. But they didn't -- instead, they allowed these corporations to write their own rules.
It's imperative the FCC's action today isn't seen as a "win" for Net Neutrality -- the Internet is still unprotected from corporate abuse and we still have to fight until we truly win. So help us spread the word.

Book Review: Monster Blood Tattoo
TITLE: Foundling
PART IN SERIES: Monster Blood Tattoo series, Book 1
AUTHOR: D. M. Cornish
GENRE: Young adult, fantasy, series, adventure
PREMISE: A orphan boy gets thrown into the world of monsters when he gets offered a job as a lamplighter.
MY REVIEW: For a young adult book, this book was rather childishly written. The writer did a lot of telling instead of showing, there were illustrations and there was even a huge glossary of stuff in the back. While I do appreciate the attention to detail (and the illustrations were really good) I think it was a little bit of an overkill.
I also wish the author had taken more time to develop characters because I really have no sense of who Rossamund was aside from the fact that he detested his name and thought ill of people who commented on his name. Beyond that, I maybe get the sense that he's brave. Amen. Considering the whole book is coming from his point of view, I would think the author would have done more with his character. I also didn't really get what the whole point of this series was. I'm assuming things are explained further in the second but I wasn't made to care enough about the main character to really want to pick up the second book.
So I do think it was an intriguing idea, the author just got caught up in giving details (and details, and details) and neglected plot and character. I also think this was probably supposed to be a children's book and got classifed wrong but that could be just me. Action/Adventure fantasy type fans will probably be really pleased with this though.
WHO SHOULD READ: adventure fans, boys who liked Artemis Fowl and whatnot

Motorists might be hesitant to brave frigid temperatures this winter to clean snow from their cars.
But officials warn that it is against the law to drive a vehicle before it is completely clean of snow and ice.
Police can cite motorists for not clearing vehicle windows — and the citation carries a fine of $25 plus associated costs, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Sgt. James Shaw of the Pennsylvania State Police said not having a clean vehicle is a primary driving offense.
"Obstructing your view is dangerous and snow that falls from a vehicle could potentially cause whiteout conditions for other drivers," he said. "If it is ice that falls from your car, it is considered a projectile."
Under law, if snow or ice is dislodged or falls from a moving vehicle and strikes another vehicle or pedestrian causing death or serious bodily injury, the driver is subject to a fine of $200 to $1,000 for each offense.

The Dukan Weight loss plan Attack Part catapults you into the Dukan Weight loss program with a blitz in your old consuming habits. Replace December 2015: Over 4 years after my weight reduction journey started and I'm sustaining my weight reduction. I just signed up for a wholesome weight loss challenge at work and I took it significantly. Being hungry is exactly the fallacious feeling for sustainable weight reduction and a healthy way of life. To do that you will have to keep observe of how a lot weight you lifted and what number of sets and reps you lifted it for on each train. I misplaced 20 pounds without making an attempt, simply by including extra walking and a few weight coaching to my weekly schedule.
The system additionally show a graph comparing your weight reduction goal together with your actual weight loss rate (see below). F) Avoid Processed, Polished and Refined Foods: Half your work is finished in case you might do that. In the event that you're utilizing Adipex drug for weight discount, you should go hand in hand with it with strong consuming less energy and exercise.
Thanks for the exhausting work you've accomplished in putting all of those sources collectively. Catechins are extremely excessive in green tea, and are related to weight reduction, significantly in the loss of that every one too troublesome to lose stomach fat. Many people go swimming at the local community middle, they attend paletes lessons, and aerobics work for others.
I dwell on a tropical farm with outside dogs – some worms appear unpreventable so it's therapy I'm on the lookout for – pure if attainable. One of the worst uncomfortable side effects of weight-reduction plan, is that it tends to cause muscle loss and metabolic slowdown, sometimes called hunger mode ( 34 , 35 ). It started with the conventional weight acquire after high school, but it surely wasn't that much.
Bear in mind – you should loosen up on weekends and you also need to drop pounds and preserve it off (and all the key advantages that include that). As a consequence, the pace of weight loss ultimately ground to a halt and they were completely exhausted. If that is YOU, then cease residing your life as if you'll always stay a teen or in your 20s, 30s, 40s.. These weight loss ideas address some of the dangerous habits we've developed as a society.

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all having a great week.
I wanted to show you a few pictures of a french farm table that I drug into my living room,
However I am having troubles loading the pictures to blogger.
Here are a few pictures of the table.
I will have to show you the rest of it next week.... Sorry
I also wanted to show you a few pictures of my Wintersteen Farms Wreath that arrived in the mail yesterday.
I could hardly wait to show you a few pictures of it....
I do not normally decorate for Christmas this early, however
We are going to be doing something fun together next week....
That is why I purchased a wreath earlier than usual.
I actually took pictures of how it was wrapped, but couldn't get those pictures to upload either.....
It is really beautiful....
Their wreaths are overflowing with fragrant noble fir, blue berried juniper and cedar, topped off with ponderosa pine cones.
They provide you with a generous amount of satin ribbon~
The scent!!!
They are all hand crafted on their farm!
You can pre-order their wreaths early too.
I will be back tomorrow morning with a really fun giveaway!
I hope you can stop by in the morning!
Take Care,

"Party Voices and Citizen Efficacy: An Experimental Study" with Fred Cutler and Paul Quirk
Abstract: Electoral rules and party systems are the foundation of representation. However, the literature lacks direct evidence on the psychological mechanisms that link electoral and party systems to citizens' assessments of efficacy, representation, and the quality of democracy. This article presents an analysis of a novel experimental analysis of citizen efficacy. We simulate the effect of existing party systems and manipulate them in ways credible to our subject-citizens. Our experiment highlights the importance of voice—citizens hearing views they favour articulated in a campaign—in determining feelings of representation. However, our subjects' responses to the treatments were conditional on their relationships to the political system beyond the laboratory, a finding that has important implications for future experimental work in the area.
"The Media, Partisan Bias and Political Satisfaction in Japan" with Zhen Han and Go Murakami
Abstract: How does the structure of the mass media affect political attitudes? Examining the change in the structure of TV news in Japan and political attitudes over nearly 40 years of election studies, we argue that exposure to the news media can decrease voters' level of political satisfaction when it provides more critical views of the incumbent government. We find that in Japan changes in TV news towards a more liberal media structure in the mid-1980s, which increased the amount of commentary and negative portrayal of politics, is associated with lower levels of satisfaction with politics. However, this effect is conditional, occurring only amongst voters who consistently support opposition political parties.
Leveraging Discontinuities to Identify Party System Effects" with Angela O'Mahony
Abstract: The major frameworks for understanding the comparative democratic institutions emphasize the importance of variation in party systems. Scholars have identified dozens of policy areas and political outcomes influenced by party systems. However, while substantial strides have been made in strengthening quantitative analyses of politics in recent years, scholarship assessing party system effects remains primarily reliant on measures and statistical approaches that are inadequate for properly understanding party system effects. This article presents a new approach to identifying party system that draws insight from the regression discontinuity design literature, combined with an understanding of the logic of the formation of legislative majorities. We replicate and extend several existing studies that test for party system effects on a wide range of political outcomes, showing the importance of testing measures that incorporate both the underlying seat shares of parties and the discontinuities in party systems associated with majority formation. We highlight specific strategies for scholars who wish to assess party system effects in detail, even when the data are not ideal for leveraging RDD for strong causal inferences, as well as options for scholars who merely wish to 'control' for party system effects.
"Leaders, Voters and Rent-Seeking Parties"
Abstract: Principal-agent (political agency) models are frequently used to represent the fundamental dynamics of the relationship between voters and politicians. However, standard models generally have not captured key dynamics in the three-way relationship between leaders, parties and voters. Whereas much of the informal principal-agent literature has emphasized how parties may improve the accountability of leaders to voters, it is clear that the accountability of leaders to parties may also divert leaders' accountability to voters and potentially reduce voter welfare. This paper presents a simple political agency model of the relationship between leaders, parties and voters to capture this dynamic and empirically tests a novel prediction from the model as to how rent-seeking parties may choose to frequently replace leaders regardless of the leader's actions. This implication finds empirical support in in the patterns of post-WWII party leader durability and change in seventy parties across eighteen developed parliamentary democracies.
"The Extension of External Voting Rights" with Nathan Allen and Angela O'Mahony
Abstract: Why do countries extend the right to vote to their non-resident citizens? The number of countries granting extra-territorial voting rights increased from only 17 in 1980 to nearly 100 in 2011. This paper analyzes a newly collected dataset on the adoption of extra-territorial voting rights, covering 170 countries around the world from 1980 to 2011. We argue that both domestic and international factors play a crucial role in the adoption of extra-territorial voting rights. Countries with poor economic performance are more likely to adopt extraterritorial voting rights, as are those whose neighbors have extra-territorial voting rights. The former result suggests that vulnerable governments may seek to strategically broaden their base of support, while the latter suggests an important role for policy diffusion, learning and/or regional norm development.

Catalyst Chicago, March 21, 2016
In 2004, under the administration of Arne Duncan, Chicago became one of the first districts to contract with the National Student Clearinghouse to find out how many CPS June graduates had actually enrolled in college the following fall. The disappointing baseline number—just 43 percent—lent urgency to the effort to improve.
By 2012, the Chicago Public School college enrollment rate was approaching 60 percent, within striking distance of the national average of 63 percent. A national expert on higher education described the change in Chicago as "one of the miracles of my lifetime." Read more >

Redox Agents which Modulate the Growth of Melanoma Cells: Evaluation of Mechanisms
The growth of many types of cell under the artificial conditions of in vitro culture is dependent on the attachment of the cells to a surface. The chemistry of the surface attachment can determine the response of the cells by modulating surface receptors for growth factors, by altering the strength of adhesion and thus overall cell surface area1 and in other ways which remain to be elucidated. An array of functional and structural changes in the surface of cells has been documented in cells undergoing the phenotypic expression of malignancy. The very basis of the commitment of cells to multiplication is the binding of growth factors to surface receptors as initial events in the cascade which leads to DNA synthesis and mitosis2. These initial events include phosphorylation of the growth factor receptors, and other proteins whose role in the cascade is yet to be determined, and very early changes in ion fluxes3, including egress of protons. It is clear that the plasma membrane is very actively involved in the events which determine whether a cell divides rapidly or slowly, differentiates, or languishes in a quiescent state. This study is directed towards an evaluation of some of the difficulties with attempts to define this association, and to evaluate some of the evidence that such electron flow may have a significant role in modulating cell attachment and replication.

Will "Carbon Principles" put the squeeze on coal plants?
By David Ehrlich
New York's Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, announced today that they have adopted a set of guidelines to put a damper on coal plant investments in the U.S.
The banks said the new guidelines, called the Carbon Principles, would provide a framework for the lenders to evaluate the regulatory and financial risks associated with carbon dioxide emissions by coal-fired power projects.
"Leading utilities and financial institutions understand that the rules of the road have changed for coal," said Mark Brownstein, managing director of business partnerships for Environmental Defense, one of the non-governmental organizations that worked on creating the guidelines.
"These principles are a first step in facilitating an honest assessment of electric generation options in light of the obvious and pressing need to substantially reduce national greenhouse gas pollution."
The banks did not announce any guidelines for projects in areas outside of the U.S.
Under the new principles, the banks said they would promote energy efficiency by encouraging clients to invest in cost-effective demand reduction systems.
The banks said they also plan to encourage clients to invest in renewable energy and distributed technologies.
"Clean power is the name of the game today," said Dale Bryk, senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, a non-profit environmental advocacy group.
"Conventional coal facilities are already facing intensive scrutiny. We think the serious money is increasingly going to be on clean, efficient solutions," said Bryk.

RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh government has given instructions to the
revenue officers to ensure adherence to the new land acquisition rules of the
central government in the cases of private land acquisition for public purpose
(development project) in the state. Under the new rule, the state government
has been protecting the interests of private landowners.
Under the new Act, by making provision for minimising
displacement, it has been said, if displacement were necessary in unavoidable
circumstances, all the oustee families would be rehabilitated first and then
action for land acquisition and possession would be taken. Apart from
compensation, each affected family would give job in the project or onetime
payment of Rs 5 lakh or annual payment at Rs 2,000 per month for 20 years.
According to the officers of revenue department, the central
government, by cancelling the 120-year-old Land Acquisition Act of 1894, has
implemented the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land
Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, which is in force from
January 1, 2014.
Under the Act, social effect would also be studied in the cases
of acquisition of private land. After the study, if it were found that the
effect or loss on the affected families is more in comparison to the benefit
the project concerned would get, the land acquisition procedure would be
cancelled. Rehabilitation scheme will be prepared for the resettlement of the
affected families of land acquisition, which will be approved by the divisional
commissioner. After the approval of the proposal, a rehabilitation
administrator will be appointed for each project.
The state government has empowered the divisional commissioners
and the district collectors with all the powers regarding study of social
effect and evaluation of its report, preparation of rehabilitation scheme and
its approval, issuance of preliminary notification of land acquisition,
declaration of land acquisition, and passing the award.
Now, the proposal for private land acquisition upto 1,000
hectare for public purpose could be presented to the collector directly. If any
private entrepreneur wanted to purchase two hectare land in urban area or four
hectare in rural area directly from the farmers, he should also adhere to the rehabilitation
scheme and take pre-permission from the district collector.

As promised, here's the "more info" about our most current attempts at getting pregnant!
First, let me say that for those of you who have been through the full gamut of treatment, I realize that this isn't the "worst" that there is. For those of you who haven't, it's not fun, but when you really want a baby, it's not all that bad!
This is what my life looks like right now....
Okay, not my whole life, but at least a portion of it!!
In the morning, I do an injection in my stomach. I do this one myself because since it's in my belly, I can see to do it. It's not bad at all, although it is leaving bruises. This is a micro-dose injection of Lupron. (This is the same medication that I was given an injection of a year ago to induce a menopause-like state. However, in this much smaller dose it works differently.) The point of the Lupron is to keep me from ovulating on my own, which means they can "stimulate" for more days and allow more follicles to mature. Like I said, this shot is in my stomach and I use a very small needle. Actually I use this needle...
It's only about a 3/4 inch needle and it's similar to those used for insulin injections.
Then each night we do a second injection. I say "we" because I can't do this one by myself. It's given in my "hip" (which really means my butt!) It's a much larger needle and it hurts much worse!! As you can see from the first picture, I'm mixing 2 vials of dissolvent solution with 4 amps of medication. 4 amps of HMG is the most that they will give me for an IUI, so it's a pretty high dose. Oh and each of those tiny amps of medicine costs $30. Therefore, I'm injecting $120 worth of medicine each night!! This could continue for anywhere between 8 and 12 days! Yikes! (All of our Christmas money plus some is going to fund this attempt!)
The hope is that it will help to stimulate multiple follicles instead of just one or two. Like I said, Jacob does this shot for me each night. He's pretty good and most of the time it's not too bad. I'm sore in the injection spots the next day, but it's nothing major. And because we're currently out of practice on it, the last few days have been kind of tough! Here's the larger needle that we use for the night time shot.
It's a 1 & 1/2 inch needle. The lady at the pharmacy said "Are you sure this is right? Do you realize that this is a really BIG needle?" Yes I do, and thank you for pointing that out!! :)
So, that's it, that's life as we know it! I'll be going in every other day for blood work and an ultrasound to monitor how quickly I'm stimulating. When the follicles are ready, I'll be given a different shot to force my body to ovulate. Then we'll have an IUI. Please be praying that this goes according to God's plan!

How to Recognize the Symptoms of Brain Tumors
Brain cancer is a tumor on the brain or on nearby tissue such as the membranes, pituitary gland, pineal glad or cranial nerves. Like many cancers, brain tumors develop when healthy cells mutate in their DNA. These mutations accelerate the growth of cells and increase their division rates until a tumor, or mass is formed.
Symptoms of brain cancer can be difficult to notice, as the majority of the time the cancer is not visible. Here are some of the symptoms of brain cancer, which could or could not be related to a tumor. If in doubt, check with a doctor.
General symptoms of a brain tumor:
Headaches, which may or may not be related to an abnormality in your brain. If you have experienced a change in your headaches, such as an increase of pain or development into migraines, check with your family doctor who will test you with a series of x-rays to determine if there is a tumor.
Seizures: specifically motor seizures which are also called convulsions. These can be seen by sudden involuntary movements in your muscles. There are several kinds of seizures including myclonic, where a person will experience twitches, jerks and spasms, and a more severe tonic-clonic, or grand mal seizure.
In a grand mal seizure a person often loses consciousness and has muscle spasms or contractions. They may also lose control of bodily functions including breathing. People have been known to turn a shade of blue due to the lack of oxygen in their system. After the seizure, a person may be disoriented, experience a headache, have a numbness, have sore muscles, have a change in several sensory elements such as vision, smell, hearing and touch, experience nausea and also fatigue.
Certain symptoms may direct the patient and doctor towards the exact location of the tumor. Here are a few symptoms that may suggest a particular type of brian cancer.
- Pressure and headaches in one location rather than a headache that moves to different areas.
- If the patient experiences a loss of balance and motor skills, it may be linked to a tumor in the cerebellum.
- Sluggishness, change in judgement, listless behavior or sometimes paralysis may be associated with a growth in or around the frontal lobe of the cerebrum.
- Sudden loss of vision (or partial loss) may be associated with a tumor in the occipital lobe.
- The inability to look upwards can point towards a tumor on the pineal gland.
- Growth of hands and feet, as well as lactation in women suggest a pituitary tumor.
If you have experienced any of these symptoms, please contact your family doctor. The doctor will ask you a series of questions to help come up with a diagnosis. If a brain tumor has been detected, it will usually be dealt with by surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
