Well, exciting stuff this week, the weather sucked! It was so cold, dang it! The best part is that I left my rain jacket up in Antananarivo... so I just got soaked in my BYU hoodie... Haha it was weird proselyting in a hoodie, I'm not going to lie, but it's like a church thing right?... BYU... Anyway, it got soaked and it's thick, so it's been wet for like three days since. However, it was only raining a lot on Saturday, so I was mostly good. Yesterday was a pretty good day, weather wise, and today is absolutely gorgeous. This week's work load was even better than last week which was a blast! The only downer is that it looked like it was going to be a rainy day Sunday morning, so church attendence was very low. I remember the AP's and President Adams talking about stats once and saying that the church attendence was one of the stats the missionaries had the least control over because the biggest factor with church attendence is the weather... Well... the church is still pretty young. A little more about Sunday before we get on to the rest of the week, we had a fantastic lesson about keeping the sabbath day holy. Elder Pinson and I asked for it the week before at branch council because we were teaching our investigators about the sabbath day, then they see members buying food on the way home from church... The lesson was fantastic though! Our first counselor in the branch presidency, the second highest military official down here, just laid it out very clear with just the right amount of humor to not drive people away from the church. We had a combined sunday school for it, so everyone except for primary and nursery was there. They had a Q&A session at the end and there were all kinds of questions and weird answers from various members. We got everything from questions about seventh day worship to "the sabbath only goes from six in the morning to six at night." Everthing has hopefully been straightened up by now though.
But other than that, this last week started off fantastically, with a grat Monday evening program. We taught a recent convert who doesn't know how to read the sacrament prayers so he can use use his newly acquired priesthood. Then we had a great family home evening with our newest family of converts.
Then on Tuesday we just had great clear, warm weather, and we got to almost all of our times and got to a lot of my favorite families we teach.
Then on Wednesday we were supposed to go on splits with our home teaching companions but they did not show up... We've been helping to get the home teaching going. So then we just went through as many times as we could get to, because we had kind of double booked that day, anticipating some splits...
Then on Thursday, July 9, we had terrible weather. We managed to get to lots of times but it was cold and I had to wear my hoodie. However, we got to a new family and had a great lesson with a less active famly too.
Then on Friday it was cold again and I wore my hoodie again. That day started off terrible. We taught this young college student who just wanted to argue and criticize our Malagasy. He hadn't come to church for like three months, and was not reading or keeping any commitments, so we told him that we would have to stop teaching him, but he knew where to find us at church every Sunday if he ever wanted to learn again. After that we had a much better day. We had a great spiritual lesson with a guy who we dropped just like the first guy a couple weeks ago and then he came to church. Then we just had great times after that. We had a soiree at the night to end it off. And we taught about the Sabbath day to some members. (It's kind of been a theme this week...) They are all active except for one of the daughters, and we pretty much just asked what the sabbath day was and then their 20 year old son who is also the young mens' president taught the rest of his family. He keeps the Sabbath day. Haha
Saturday was a terrible day. Well, it was a bad day for being on a mission in Madagascar, so it was still a really good day by other standards! It poured rain. I got soaked as soon as we walked out of the house after language study and lunch at 12. Then we tried to take some recent converts to an activity which was a bust because of the rain. It was a lot of fun to watch Elder Hardy and Elder Tiu play musical chairs and get down to just them, then break the chair for the grand finale! I almost cried I was laughing so hard! That activity really messed with our program though, so we didn't teach much.
Which was ok, because Sunday was a great day! We started off with church at nine. One of our investigators brought his german friend with him... He knew some english but I cannot talk with white people dang it!!! Oh, and that one investigator that we dropped came. Hah, works every time! Then I gave a big boy talk about the Atonement. By big boy I mean it lasted twenty minutes! The youth speaker before me has been a member his whole life and he started off talking about the sacrament, and I was like, "Sweet! This will go on and on! There's so much to say about the sacrament!" But it was seriously just like this: "Today I'm giving a talk about the sacrament. The sacrament is important and Jesus started it at the last supper. And this is why we don't use wine anymore... Amen."
So pressure was on me to fill more of the time, but let's be real, the Atonement is the easiest topic to speak about, there's just so much good stuff about it! Then the last speaker didn't show up so our first counselor in the branch presidency, the same studly one that talked about the Sabbath, just gave a quick talk about how the sacrament and the Atonement tie together. It was way good. Then Elder Pinson and I had to go on splits after church to get to all of our times and that was fantastic to go with some recent converts who are progressing so well! I love doing this stuff out here!
And now I get another week to do some more of this, it's great. Anyway, a quick Malagasy Morsel for y'all, Magnanika if you want the Antanosy version and Mihanika if you want the Merina or official dialect version. It means to climb. Like a tree, mountain, or the side of someone's house... And it's all about that! We're all somewhere in our climb in this life and it's all about just getting a little higher! Sure, you could say climbing is hard work, but you get such beautiful views! So don't just hang in there, but climb a little bit higher this week. We can do so many good things with our potential, so just try to do that a little more this week. That's all I've got for y'all.
Tahian'ny Tompo!

Bought this cart brand new in January through Pro, haven't gotten a chance to use it yet and want to change it up for a Scout which breaks down for flying. It's been sitting in my garage and has not seen a day on set yet. In perfect condition.
It's an Inovativ Ranger 36 with Steadicam System and both top & bottom drawers.
New from Inovativ this cart costs $3719.85 plus tax.
I'm asking for $2975. Or make me an offer!
Located in Los Angeles, willing to ship at cost.
I'll take another $400 off if you would like the cart without the Steadicam System (I can put it on a Scout).
Please call or PM for more pictures or info.

The Strength in the Song: Muslim Personhood, Audible Capital, and Hausa Women's Performance of the Hajj
Two hackneyed phrases in English capture a certain impatient and impersonal sensibility regarding capital in the West: Time is money, and talk is cheap. These phrases make little or no sense in Hausa speaking Niger, so far as I can tell, in which the classic adage regarding capital is magana jari ce—speech is wealth. While this expression is commonly invoked in celebration of Hausa literary arts (indeed a well-known publication promoting literacy is so named), in this chapter I would like to take seriously for a moment the understanding that oral performance can be a form of capital. The Hausa language has many words for wealth, but it is the word jari, generally used to mean investment capital, that is used in this proverb. What would it mean to say that the act of speech is a kind of investment or that oral performance can be thought of as a transaction involving wealth? The finest gift I ever received in Maradi was a song. Of course one receives many gifts as a researcher: eggs, soap, chickens, taxi fare, cloth. One struggles mightily to ascertain what sorts of gifts might be appropriate to give in return. In this chapter I would like to return a gift commensurate with the kind of wealth that was given to me—a celebration of a life through the power of song, an evocation of the potency of what can be heard but not seen.

Corned Beef & Cabbage
1 box of Beef Stock
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 large onion quartered
5 medium potatoes peeled and quartered
5 medium carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
3 pounds corned beef or beef brisket
1 head green cabbage, trimmed and cut into 6 wedges
(Bouquet Garni)
Stir the stock and vinegar in a large crock pot. Add the onions, potatoes, carrots, beef and cabbage. Submerge the Bouquet Garni in the stock mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or until the beef is fork tender. Remove Bouquet Garni.
Bouquet Garni...I did not do this. I just put a handful of garlic cloves, a couple of bay leaves, tbs peppercorns, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp allspice berries, 1 tbs coriander seeds, 1 tsp dried mustard, 1/2 tsp ground ginger and a pinch of ground cloves and a 1/2 tsp salt and just put it all in the stock mixture.
Usually the corned beef package contains the pickling spice, but the one I bought the other day didn't. Oh well time to make a substitution!

Packing a Punch
Tonight the guys did their thing again on American Idol, and they proved once again what a solid group they are. I'd hate to have to pick 6 right now, and it'll be easier to go by the total votes. There's so much talent in the group.
Once again though, I strongly feel that Chris Daughtry was the top performer. His vocals are so strong, and he could easily be on the charts right now. Close behind him was Elliot. I listened closer to him because last week I didn't hear what the judges heard when they raved about him. After his song I was simply in awe. He was the tops of the night, until Chris finished. Gedeon was also very strong tonight. The rest were good, or fair, but I didn't think they compared with those 3 tonight.
What did you think?
As far as who I think will be voted off tomorrow- I'd predict David and Bucky. That's what I think anyway. David just croons, and they all sound the same to me now. Bucky is a nice guy, but I'm tired of that style. I want to see some range...

The Former Residence Inn by Marriott on
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Sold for for $14 million; Converts to Condo Hotel and
Renamed Park Lane Hotel & Suites
|By Jim Faber, The Island Packet, Hilton
Head Island, S.C.McClatchy-Tribune Business News
Dec. 12, 2006 - A Hilton Head Island hotel with a new name is
going to get a new look as well. The newly renamed Park Lane Hotel
& Suites will undergo $3 million in renovations starting in
January. The new owners and management want it to compete with the
island resorts.
Triton Hospitality 323 LLC of Atlanta purchased the former
Residence Inn by Marriott at 12 Park Lane from Vista Host Investments
for $14 million last month, according to Beaufort County records. The
Triton partnership, which also owns the Beachwalk Hotel &
Condominiums off Pope Avenue, will operate the Park Lane Hotel &
Suites as a condominium hotel, said Sheila Baxley, of Stafford
Hospitality and general manager for the hotel.
In a condominium-hotel, individual owners buy the rooms like
they would real estate, but those rooms are managed and leased out just
like at a hotel, with the owners and managers sharing the revenue. In
the case of Park Lane, suite owners can reserve their unit for three
reservations per year of up to seven nights, if they include a
lease-back option when buying, according to Triton documents.
Stafford Hospitality manages both Triton hotels on the island.
The renovation will include all 156 suites at the hotel. Each
suite will have tile floors put in the kitchens and bathrooms, all new
appliances installed and flat-screen televisions set up, among other
improvements, Baxley said. "We want to position ourselves to compete
with the four-star hotels on the beaches," Baxley said.
The Park Lane has its suites divided between two buildings. Only one building will be closed for construction at a time. The renovation should be completed by April, Baxley said. Already about half of the units have been sold, said Jay Jameson, development manager for Triton. The Park Lane isn't a full-service hotel because there is no restaurant, but it does serve breakfast and host a happy hour, Baxley said. The suites have kitchens.

Today for St. Patricks Day Brooklynn had a green Muffin Tin Lunch with our friends Ellie, Peanut and Heidi. (Ellie's mom Heidi was the one who I copied the idea from.) They were so excited, Brooklynn has been asking me for two days about it. "Mom, is it time for Green lunch with Ellie?" She was so excited today when she acctually got the answer she had been waiting for.
For lunch they had green tuna sandwiches, (I know they look nasty but we still ate them we were hungry.) green Pear-apple sauce, dried kiwi, String cheese (golden coins), cookie with green sprinkles, green mint chocolate chips and milk with a green straw. Meanwhile the two babies (who about 3 weeks apart) had fun playing on the floor together. We even caught them holding hands but when we grabbed the cameras they were done. Peanut is so cute he loves to blow bubbles, a trick Cameron has not yet mastered. Afterwards the girls painted black pots. I love how different they were while painting. Brooklynn did not want to get dirty and Ellie thought it made it more fun. I love the picture of Ellie with her black hands. After they went on a treasure hunt for the gold left by the leprachaun. (It was so nice outside we loved it.) They found it pretty fast and got to put it in their pots of gold under the rainbow. It sure was a fun day for the girls. Can't wait to have more fun days with friends.

Unbroken - by Laura Hillenbrand
I haven't posted a book in a while, because I try to include only the ones I would recommend to my friends. Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, is definitely one of these. The book is the astonishing true story of Louie Zamperini. It tells the story of his life, starting at his home in Torrance, California, where he was a deviant kid causing all sorts of trouble until he began running. He became an Olympic runner, running in the 1936 Olympics. He was training for the 1940 Olympics when he joined the war, becoming a bombardier. His plane was shot down over the Pacific, and only he and two other crewmen survived the crash. They floated adrift for 47 days, surviving an ordeal that none of us can even imagine, only to be picked up by the Japanese when they eventually did reach land. He was taken to a POW camp, where he spent the rest of the war enduring torture, disease, and near starvation. The story takes us all the way through his return from Japan, and it makes me happy to know that this 93-year-old man is still alive.
His story is absolutely remarkable, and Laura Hillenbrand does an excellent job telling it. As she did with Seabiscuit, she writes a real history with the detail and pacing of fiction. It is gripping, and I was completely hooked. I decided I had to finish it before the trip, so I read the entire thing in only a few days. It wasn't hard to do, because I really didn't want to put it down.
Here's a link to the NY Times book review.

A Beautiful Evening for Art and Child Advocacy
Rodney O. Martin, Jr., Diana & Fred Elghanayan, Jennifer March, Jeff Koons
Our benefit event at The Museum of Modern Art on May 7th brought together over 700 guests to celebrate and support CCC's research, community education and advocacy on behalf of NYC children. The event was a record-breaker for CCC, raising over one-third of our annual budget and helping to ensure that New York City children will continue to have the support of our strong, effective advocacy.
We'd like to extend a special thank you to the event's Honorees Voya Financial and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rodney O. Martin, Jr., Jeff Koons, and Diana & Frederick Elghanayan for everything they do for children, and for joining us at MoMA to celebrate.
The event's success couldn't have been possible without the dedicated support of the event's Chairs, major corporate supporters, and everyone on the Steering and Benefit Committee who donated their time and effort to our special event. We are especially grateful to those who joined us to celebrate and also took further action that night – by participating in our family court judges campaign and our Funds for Children pledge bracelet campaign to support our work across the full spectrum of children's' needs.
We hope you will continue to stand with us to help improve the well-being of the city's 2 million children, ensuring that every child is healthy, housed, educated and safe:

The Cultivated Life by Susan Phillips just came to me as a book club purchase from IVP Book Club. I sat down with this book and devoured it. Through the reading I felt I was able to begin breathing again.
The first metaphor she dealt with was precisely my life, and our lives in the American culture: it's a circus. We are consumed by media. We think we have control… but we don't. It may not be TV anymore, but it's social media that replaces it. It's the earphones over the ears so we can blast music as distraction… it's a constant humming that has been cultivated into our lives.
It's not even a matter of observing. We now have the temptation to BECOME the story. We want to photo bomb and somehow be in the story.
The hard move is to choose to cultivate a different life in the midst of the circus. We need to get away from the mentality of "bigger, faster, stronger" or the hype that gets played all the time. The battle is to move away from "heroic" feats (which are no longer heroic because we overuse the word) and realize what is far more beneficial is the development of persons and relationships.
Our current culture either has us in "full on" mode or "veg out" mode. We don't know how to cultivate a purposeful life.
The book is a gentle prodding. It is a set of ideas on how to cultivate something fuller, deeper, in the midst of our circus world.
One practice that captured me was a modified lectio divina. I have taught and practiced this discipline, but she mentioned the ability to go back to a particular passage every day for a month to keep gleaning.
This is something I am deeply resonating with in my life right now.
Also, I have seriously missed the discipline of fasting. Yes… I've missed it. As I head from Labor Day to an annual retreat, I will walk more purposefully in fasting to find yet another way to get out of the circus, at least for a time.
I highly recommend this book as a resource. It can become a friend over many months for a journey that will get you off the flying trapeze and away from the flaming hoops.

A couple's marriage will not be acknowledged in the society if it is carried out without a traditional sacred ceremony according to the Hindu religious beliefs. In addition, the couple will be excommunicated from their village.
There are three kinds of marriage styles in Bali: "Ngerorod" (elopement), "Memadik" (more respected) and "Nyentana" (where a man moves permanently into his wife's home).
"Ngerorod" is the most common of these is eloping, whereby the man and woman arrange to meet somewhere out of sight of the girl's parents and spend the night together at a friend's house. Sufficient publicity is ensured so that people find out what is going on. Under these circumstances the girl is not allowed to return to her parents and resume life as before, but in most cases the girl's parents are not in the least surprised. However, they make a great show of pretending to be outraged at the impudence of the boy and his family for plotting the downfall of their daughter.
"Memadik" is a marriage form in Bali in which the boy's parents and other family members come to the house of the girl's parents and respectfully ask for their daughter. This is a costly process as large ceremonies and offerings are involved, but needless to say accords significantly more respect from the girls parents as compared to the clandestine night-time elopement. Form the man's point of view, however, it's more risky as the parents of his bride-to be must give their approval.

Despite eye-catching sets and smart casting, this first feature-length film to be adapted from a video game is a bloated muddle.
Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo play Mario and Luigi Mario, likable Brooklyn plumbers who are barely surviving in the face of competition from the dreaded, much more efficient Scapelli brothers. Meanwhile, the very same Scapellis are threatening a paleontological dig run by spirited college
student Daisy (Samantha Mathis), since they want to erect a new high-rise on the site. Far underneath Daisy's dig exists Dinohattan, a subterranean world of lizard-humans presided over by the mad King Koopa (Dennis Hopper).
A crystal on a chain around Daisy's neck brings together the Mario brothers, Daisy, and Koopa. It is the crucial missing piece of a meteor that originally sealed Dinohattan off from the real world in prehistoric times; if reunited with the rest of the meteor, it would cause the two worlds to
merge, expanding Koopa's domain. Koopa has sent two inept goons, Iggy (Fisher Stevens) and Spike (Richard Edson), to the surface to recover both the crystal and Daisy, who is in fact the daughter of the true King of Dinohattan, who was deposed by Koopa. The true King has been devolved into a
fungus by Koopa's evolution/devolution accelerator; Koopa uses this on all who oppose him, turning them into eight-foot-tall "Goombas," simple-minded soldiers with tiny lizard heads.
Luigi is lovestruck by Daisy after a chance encounter and asks her out on a date. While Daisy is showing Luigi her dig, the Scapelli brothers try to flood it, causing Luigi to call in Mario for assistance. They stop the flooding, but Daisy is captured by Iggy and Spike, who take her down to
Dinohattan, hotly pursued by the Marios. After some expenditure of action-movie energy, the Marios save Daisy, along with Mario's girlfriend Daniella (Dana Kaminski) and a number of other women who have been mistakenly kidnapped by Iggy and Spike. They also thwart Koopa's plan, devolving him into
a puddle of pre-evolutionary muck while re-evolving Daisy's father back into the true King (Lance Henriksen). Daisy and Luigi are parted when Daisy decides to stay behind and help her father govern Dinohattan, but she resurfaces at the fadeout to seek the Marios' help in another adventure,
presumably to be detailed in a theoretical sequel.
In their second film effort (the first was the 1988 remake of D.O.A.), commercial and music video directors Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel again prove themselves unable to sustain a feature-length project. (In fact, industry trade papers reported that producer Roland Joffe attempted to salvage
the film with some uncredited directorial input.) SUPER MARIO staggers along in fits and starts, with an overstuffed plot--penned by the comedy team of Parker Bennett and Terry Runte and screenwriter Ed Solomon (BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE)--that makes less sense than the video game. The
cluttered, incoherent narrative wouldn't have mattered as much if SUPER MARIO had some interesting characters. Unfortunately, it's on this level that the film most closely approximates its two-dimensional source. The Mario brothers are devoid of all personality, and the other protagonists are
strictly standard-issue, from Koopa, played as a PG-rated Frank Booth by Hopper, to Iggy and Spike, buffoon bad-guy accomplices of a type that can be found in far too many films of this genre. The energetic cast makes the most of what little they have to work with, though Hopper has turned in this
kind of performance more than once too often. Hoskins, too, seems bored at having to react to special effects yet again.
SUPER MARIO does try to be different, with its ethnic heroes and occasionally tongue-in-cheek humor. But the ingredients it uses are old and stale--even down to the set designs by David L. Snyder that, though imaginative, too clearly recall his Oscar-nominated work on BLADE RUNNER. Since it
fails on so many counts, it's hard to believe SUPER MARIO will be remembered as anything more than a piece of movie history marginalia. (Violence.)

We recently used Booking.com to reserve a property on Maui that was managed by the company HelloRelaxation. It was titled "3 Bedroom House 5 mins from Beach." It was a property that required a nonrefundable prepayment.
We were sent a rental agreement, which we signed based on the information provided on Booking.com's website. When we arrived, there was not a key in the lock box on the door. I contacted HelloRelaxation (based in California, I believe), and the company indicated that it would be sending someone local over to open the property. Because of the amount of trash and rotting yard waste in the front yard, there was a cloud of mosquitoes that hovered over the property. We had to wait in our rental vehicle for the HelloRelaxation representatives to arrive just to escape being attacked by the mosquitoes.
When the representatives finally arrived, about 30 minutes later, they opened the property, and we encountered dirty floors, dead cockroaches throughout, unmade beds which exposed dirty mattresses, a filthy bathroom and moldy food in the refrigerator. There was a dirty kitchen with blinds fallen off the window and, as I mentioned earlier, trash piled in the front yard and rotting yard waste.
The local representative told me that they have had ongoing issues with this property owner not maintaining the property in an acceptable condition. The local representative asked me to call HelloRelaxation again and explain to them my concerns about the condition of the property. I called and spoke with them, and they asked me to give them an hour to get it cleaned up, which I refused.
My contract with them was for check-in as early as 3 p.m., and frankly, I couldn't see them getting the property cleaned up in an hour. Mattresses and linens needed to be cleaned and washed, floors needed to be washed, blinds needed to be hung, the toilet needed repair around the base, the refrigerator needed to be cleaned out and the place needed to be sprayed for bugs and cockroaches. The lawn needed to be mowed and raked of the rotting debris, overgrown shrubs and trees needed to be cleared, trash needed to be removed from the inside and outside.
I have contacted both Booking.com and HelloRelaxation and provided both companies with the pictures I took of the onsite conditions and explained my issues with the property. Both have since indicated that they would not issue a refund. Booking.com says they can't do anything about getting me a refund and that I should have checked the reviews; the property's average review score was 4.3, suggesting that I should look for properties with a review score above 7. When I looked for reviews on the property before I booked, there wasn't anything to go by, only the statement on Booking.com's website that there were not enough reviews of the property.
We paid $2,719 for this property for what was supposed to be a nine-night stay. Can you help me get a refund?
— Vivian Mello, Albuquerque, N.M.
A: Booking.com has no business renting that kind of property to anyone. It should immediately have offered a refund, no questions asked. Instead, it deferred to a management company that, of course, didn't want to give up any of your money.
Does Booking.com offer any kind of quality assurance? It does not. Its terms are clear: "By making a reservation through Booking.com, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Supplier with which you make a reservation or purchase a product or service (as applicable)." From the point at which Booking.com makes your reservation, it acts solely as "an intermediary." Here are the unfortunate details: https://www.booking.com/content/terms.html.
I couldn't find any guarantee on HelloRelaxation's website beyond a vague promise that it has a "wide selection" and — I'm not making this up — "something for everyone."
To avoid future misunderstandings, you'll need to check not only the "intermediary" but also the management company when you're renting a vacation home. If you had, you might have seen the warning lights glaring at you from behind the computer screen.
Since Booking.com took your money and acted as your travel agent (that's industry-speak for "intermediary"), it ultimately was responsible for your rental. You can find the names, numbers and email addresses of the Booking.com executives on my consumer-advocacy website: http://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/booking.com/.
I contacted Booking.com and furnished it with photos of your rental. It agreed that the rental was uninhabitable and refunded your money.

I liked the dress, I'm just not sure it was a "wedding dress" that said I dont mind unconventional I got married in a sundress (it was June and outside). I thought the whole thing was pretty awkward, her mom and sister cracked me up hiding the license.
Kroy and Kim were both pretty lame and I agree that wig was awful. The reunion looks pretty explosive!

Stop and Taste: New Holland Brewing Co.
Working for New Holland Brewing Co. is one of those jobs that sounds cushier than it actually is. Although, at the end of the day we make beer and spirits and I have to admit, it's a pretty great gig.
When I decided to shift from working as a freelance writer to devoting my time to a single company, I knew it would have to be a remarkable brand. Yes, New Holland makes unbelievably good beer and spirits - but it was a three-word campaign that made me realize I'd made the right move.
Recently, we kicked off what we call our Stop & Taste campaign.
At the core - it is a simple premise - Stop (whatever you're doing that is keeping you from being fully present) and Taste (all that life has to offer.) That can be as simple as Stopping texting and Tasting your craft beer. Or it can be as big as Stopping negative thought and Tasting all that is beautiful in your life.
What I love about Stop & Taste is that it contains verbs, not adjectives. It's not a campaign about us that describes how awesome we are as a company. It's about our customers, our fans, our friends. It's promoting a lifestyle that we think actually makes life better. And it doesn't come from a preachy place. We have as much to learn from this campaign as anyone.
So, you'll start to see some changes around the downtown Pub. We've tried to keep televisions turned off, unless there's a special request, so people can talk to one another over their meals. We've put a lot of effort into creating a beer garden where people can go to enjoy the sun on their backs and a cold pint of handcrafted beer. There are other changes coming down the road that we hope will let people experience the simple joy of sitting down with one another and making memories.
We hope folks will come down to the Pub for a drink and a meal or visit us for a tour of our facilities at our Production Campus - we love what we do and want to share it with the world. But more than that - we hope that we can all make an effort to slow down, take a breath and - even if just for a moment - Stop & Taste.
To see Stop & Taste in the words of New Holland employees and customers - check out our video here.

Kenny Perry retained his first-round lead into Friday's play at the Regions Tradition at Greystone Golf and Country Club in Hoover, shooting a 2-under 70 and leading by one stroke over Bernhard Langer.
The biggest mover of the day was Mark Calcavecchia, who gained 32 and sat at in a tie for seventh place at the end of the second ground. He shot a field-best 66 on the day.
Behind Perry and Langer were Billy Andrade, Gene Sauers, Scott McCarron and Kevin Sutherland tied for fourth.
Champions Tour newcomer John Daly is tied for 16th and stayed steady with another 70 on the second day.
(See the complete leaderboard.)
Play continues Saturday at Greystone, with tee times starting at 7:25 a.m. and play going until approximately 6 p.m.

I have been pretty faithful to my Saturday morning runs for the past few months and it has felt good. There is something really empowering about being up before most people, including my family, and touring the city by foot. Sometimes, I run with a group, but most often I have been running alone.
As a working mom, I value my solitude and I enjoy the endorphins that come with running. The "runner's high" is real!
This morning, the sun was shining, the humidity was low and it was getting hot. However, even though I enjoy it, I didn't really want to run this morning. My bed was warm, Andre was in it, and sleep is very seductive.
Still, I got up, laced up my sneakers and I powered through it. And eventually it started to feel really good. As I ran, I noticed that there were a lot more people up and about. There were pick up trucks and cowboy hats everywhere. There were little girls in cowboy boots. There was music playing in the air. It was as if Pittsburgh was having a great big party before 8:00AM. I had to find out what was going on!
Being the curious girl that I am, I finally asked someone what was going on. Then I learned that today is the day that Kenny Chesney is coming to Pittsburgh. And even though the show doesn't start until 5:00PM, people have already started to get it in.
The only way I could think to give you a sense of the energy was by video. So, I approached a crowd of guys and said, "Hi I have a blog and would like to make a video with you." They immediately agreed to participate and invited me to party with them later. I wish I had been that smooth when I was single...
Being a blogger is a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!
Even though I won't be attending the concert, I'll be forever grateful to Kenny Chesney for this post. Here's the video!
(NOTE: No young men were harmed in the making of this video. :-))


text: For any Douglas Adams fan, Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" is as much a part of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as Zaphod Beeblebrox's two heads, the Babel Fish or the number 42. I always smile when I hear it and think of Arthur Dent tossing the Book into the river at the end of Fit the Sixth. This particular interpretation is quite delightful, and I just had to share. Enjoy!

Pair of PLC Corse special reinforced silentblocks for fast road use, for all Lambretta S1 + S2 + S3 + GP DL + Serveta models. These will increase the vibration level slightly but there will be a noticeable improvement in handling with these fitted as these are slightly harder than original type silentblocks.
We often get asked what suspension we use on our race scooters (which are Mupo) and also what engine silentblocks? For these, we use both our own silentblocks (Item : X64) but have also helped develop the ones made by our friends at PLC Corse. Available in 2 versions, for fast road use (green rubber inserts ) or Sports / Race use (orange rubber inserts), at just Euro 68.00 for a pair these are plug n' play and offer a considerable improvement to your scooters handling.
The silentblocks are easily mounted and can actually be swopped over, thanks to the use of retaining circlips, whilst the outside 'shell' remains inside your engine casing. This unique design, means it is possible to swap the different PLC Silent Blocks over at a moment's notice, for example when you decide to go for a ride on the track, with your daily rider.
The PLC Silent Blocks come with a bronze bush that prevents the rubber from twisting and distorting. The free movement of this bush increases the life time of the PLC Silent Block in contrast to the shorter life span of the normal models. You'll get better 'feedback' from your scooters handling allowing you to fine tune the suspension.
The PLC Silent Blocks have been successfully tested on both the road and the race track, with championship winning performances in the BSSO and the ESC by the Casa Performance Racing Team. It is from these race models that the softer road model has been developed from. We saw that the softer versions had a shorter life-span so as a counter measure, we added small holes on the inside of these silentblocks to remove major vibrations while keeping the longevity the same. We are very proud of our research and development results and with the addition of the PLC silentblocks, your Lambretta will be much more stable when cornering with minimal vibrations.
These are plug n' play and no modifications are required for their fitment, or use. A standard Lambretta engine bolt is used.

My toast was cold by the time the honey, practically creeping out of the the Honey Bear, was evenly spread on my toast. There are few things worse than cold toast. Cold toast is like eating a raw potato--completely unpleasant.
So I popped the toast in the microwave for 15 seconds (you may think this is excessive, but our microwave rivals me in age so it takes a little longer to heat things up). There are a myriad of pros and cons for using a microwave. Someone told me once that microwaves zap all the nutrients out of food. You put in a carrot and what you come out with is akin to Styrofoam in nutritional value. This may be true. But I love microwaves because it's like a mini time trial.
As soon as I hit the "start" button I like to see just how much I can accomplish before the timer dings. During my 15 seconds of microwave use today, I put away the salt and pepper shakers, twisted up the bag of potatoes and put them back, zipped up the cheese and placed it in the drawer in the fridge, and I wiped the counters. That is what I call productivity.

Classic card of the week
David Robinson, 1992 Skybox
Remember college? Wasting away the days sleeping, fully clothed, in a comically small bed for your size … Oh, no! I almost overslept for my voluntary Aeronautics study session in the quad! Ha, ha … those were the days. David Robinson reminds me a lot of myself at that age, the only difference being that he is taking a brief, well-deserved rest from being awesome at basketball and serving our country, while I was most likely passed out at some off-campus apartment I had wandered into at four in the morning, and had also probably urinated myself.
I do hope that David Robinson is posing for this shot, and if he is, add "being awesome at pretending to sleep" to his long list of talents and personal accomplishments. But if he is actually sleeping, then Skybox is a weirdo stalker.
David Robinson: (Turns over, opens eyes, rubs them, startled) What the—?
Skybox: Shhhhhh! Go back to sleep, David! It's just me, Skybox.
Robinson: What are you doing in here? (Furiously picks up emergency phone.) How did you get clearance?
Skybox: Just documenting your college life, David. No worries … pretend I'm not here. (Whispers … ) Rock-a-bye, Davey, on the Navy ship, when the bow breaks, he'll win the championship …
Robinson: (Puts down phone, goes back to sleep.)
When Robinson entered the Naval Academy, he was 6-foot-7, an inch over the height restriction.
Me, from an honorable Navy family: Well, Dad, I got bad news. I'm 6-foot-7 now! Looks like I won't be able to join the Navy after all. Man, and I was really looking forward to waking up absurdly early every day and doing hard labor and depriving myself of what you and grandpa call luxuries but I call essentials. Oh well. I think I AM actually gonna continue playing bass in the band. Anyway, I'll be in my room if you need me. Whoa, that was close! Almost hit my head on the door frame. Ha, ha! (Whistling as I walk up the stairs …)
The Academy makes exceptions for up to 5 percent of the incoming students as long as they are not taller than 6-foot-8.
I'm sure the U.S. Navy knows what it's doing, but I don't understand this. If I'm another country, and I'm glancing across the sea at a boat full of 5-foot-11 schmos from West Hempstead, I'm like, "Pfft." But if I'm looking across at a squadron of 6-foot-8 David Robinsons, I'm like, "Howdy, Americans! Just passing through! No problems here! Thank you!" (My country speaks English.)
By his senior year, he was 7-foot-1, a circumstance that banned him from duty
Duty. Heh.
on ships, planes or submarines.
I remember how Robinson gained a reputation for being soft, or too nice a guy, in the NBA. I highly doubt that was true. Regardless, David Robinson was in the Navy. The Navy! And not only that—he had every conceivable excuse to not be in the Navy, but was like, "Screw it, I am serving my country no matter what." I mean, could you imagine Shaq (one of Robinson's critics) in the Navy? It would be a reality show like that time Tommy Lee went to college. His hat would be on crooked, he'd be trying to convince the other guys to stay up past curfew, and the captain would tell him he's too tall for the submarine, and then the camera would cut to Shaq eating a foot-long, and he'd be like, "But he didn't say I couldn't eat one!"
Soft? Please. Oh, and David Robinson was built like a super-hero. And he kind of was.
So then I said, "We're gonna need a bigger submarine!"
Did you know?
Did I say that part about urinating myself out loud? I hope not.

news from you guys, I just want to wish you all a great and wonderful life, and we are very glad and grateful that you all like our blog spot so much, and would like to give you many, many thanks for appreciating our posts.
Well, me? I am just awesome, awesome exploring the beauty of life and a little busy with the college works.
I am writing today on the side/adverse effects of long term use of the coffee mate creamers, sitting next to my room window, watching the wonderful rain and of course not to forget about my mug of hot coffee, whisked with the coffee mate creamer, hopefully for the last time! And I am sure, while reading my today's post you guys are taking a sip of the same too.
So, this coffee mate creamer, it is a favorite of our all, right? Now, to some of us without this creamer, the taste of the, specially black coffee seems incomplete or bitter. However to some, such as to my younger sister, who is a lactose intolerant. People with lactose intolerance cannot digest the carbohydrate, lactose, in milk due to the lack of the enzyme lactase in their system. So, these people use the coffee mate creamer for a long period of time, even in their teas in addition to coffee instead of milk to add the creamy taste. Also the coffee lovers use it for a long period of their lives.
So, one day, it just clicked to my head that if there are any side/adverse effects of long term use of coffee mate creamer use when I was little concerned about my sister.And guess what fiends, I was not that surprised as I was suspecting the fact to be so that these non - dairy creamers are really bad for the health specially for the heart.But I was surprised to know that these creamers actually do not have any nutritional ingredients in them.
Originally coffee mate creamers were composed primarily of sugar and cream in the 1950s first. But as time passed, the manufacturers replaced the cream and natural sugars with vegetable oils, chemical sweeteners and additional additives, and now these coffee mates even contain corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, enzymes, fl avoids, stabilizers and others that once came from food sources but no longer seems to serve any nutritonal values. That is why the FDA does not list coffee mate as a dairy product, but approved it to be actually safe for general use.
Let us see how the non - nutritional components of today's coffee mate creamer provides the health dangers in the long term use to its regular users :
Processed Sugar : Simple sugars themselves are observed to aggravate asthma, move mood swings, provoke personality changes, mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, increase risk of diabetes, promote heart disease, grow gallstones, promote hypertension and add arthritis. I n turn these creamers contain refined sugars, which lack minerals and vitamins. As a result they deplete the body's micro nutrients by using them to metabolize themselves into the system. This depletion leads to increased metabolism of cholesterol and fatty acids resulting in high blood serum triglycerides, cholesterol,etc. Higher fatty acid storage takes place around body organs and in sub - cutaneous tissues, which leads to promoted obesity.
Vegetable Oil ( Partially Hydrogenated Coconut Or Palm Kernel, Hydrogenated Soybean - Trans - Fatty Acids ) : It causes its bad effects by resulting in high blood cholesterol, thus, causing hardening of arteries which ultimately leads to heart attack. After ingesting these trans - fatty acids, they are incorporated into cells and the cells are hydrogenated. Surprisingly, the body cannot distinguish between cis - and trans - fatty acids. Hydrogenation of cells leads to increased rates of heart attack, sexual dysfunction, weakened immune system, cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes and obesity.
Corn Syrup Solids : Corn syrup causes diabetes and corn syrup solids are a corn syrup concentrated to contain less than 10% water and the glucose ( dextrose ) content must be at-least 88% of the concentrated syrup's weight. These highly processed substances are very much harmful to human health.
Sodium Casein ate : ( a milk derivative ), though is good for health, is contained in only less than 2%.
Di potassium Phosphate : (Used to moderate coffee acidity ). It's side effects include :
1. Pneumonia
2. Acute renal failure
3. Nausea and vomiting
4. Diarrhea
5. Asthenia ( weakness )
6.Decreased hemoglobin
Mono And Diglycerides : ( Used to prevent oil separation ). Used for whitening effect and artificial creamy flavor. I t is also found in some pesticides. These are used to prolong product shelf - life, to maximize profits.
Sodium Aluminosilicate Or Aluminium Calcium Silicate : Side effects include :
1. Constipation
2. Liver disease
3. Renal failure
So, friends. What do you think now? I think, it is not too late to know that one of our favorite routine intakes actually could cause very ill effects to our health in the long term. So, those of my friends who are visiting this post today or some other time, must now think of an alternative to these non - nutritional, health hazardous coffee mate creamers to cream your coffee and teas, and I must aware my sister of these ill effects and also find her some alternatives. However, the following are some of the safer alternatives that you can use in place of your present coffee mate :
1. Those who are not lactose intolerants can use milk and fresh cream, which will be nutritious to your health at the same time while giving your tea and coffee a creamy taste.
2. Cinnamon and vanilla also give good flavors to your black?white coffee.
3.Almond extracts can also give you a creamy and rich flavor to your coffee.
4. Liquid coconut creams would be very delicious to lactose intolerance people.
Do not be any more late to replace your non - nutritional coffee mate creamer with any of the above suggested alternatives or with any of your own choice.
So friends, it is time for me to say goodbye today. While going I hope today's post was very much informative to you all and would like to thank me for posting this info today.
Well, you are always welcome to enjoy our posts.
Goodbye to all till my next post, and till then all of you stay healthy, be passionate and keep blogging, and of course, enjoy your coffee!

So, Tuesday almost 9:10 pm, I hopped on get dressed and while applying some makeup I thought of calling the theatre to check the exact time and when the ticket counter closed. Unfortunately, he said the theatre was closed that night. Oups, it was tuesday! Vacation. Well, on the spur of my excitement I forgot. Patience is a virtue.
Wednesday came, still the dream vivid in my head. I was supposed to meet H. after work to talk some business before our important meeting this evening, but I didnt feel like talking work after working hours. Instead asked him to join me to the theatre. He gave me this look and said, 'Mubarak is giving his election speech.' Oh really! OK. 'Enjoy it.' I mumbled.
So, I get dressed. Thought for a moment that I might not get in because I was wearing Jeans and slippers with and a white linen shirt. But who cares. It is campaign day anyways. I called to make sure the play was still on. Maybe they just cancelled it because of this Mubarak shit. Luckily, all was on. Hurrah. I was excited.
On my way, M. called, 'what's up?', 'cool', 'cool'. 'Theatre.' 'oh, no theatre for me.' 'doing what instead.' 'don't know. The match.' 'oh well. See ya buddy.' 'See ya sweetie.' Funny M. He seriously makes me laugh. This week he has been waking up at 4 pm and going to bed at 8 am. He is on vacation until end of the month. We are very similar in many things. We both hate to organize trips, be in charge of anything during outings. Just like to relax and others take care of everything for us. It is a disaster if we decided to go out together alone. Neither of us decides what to do. We just end up missing whatever we had decided to do and usually end up hanging at the Matchpoint, me drinking coke and eating nuts. I think, we are just laid back when it comes to deciding unimporatant stuff. Whatever! Doesnt really matter. Any place will do, unless I have something aganist the place.
Anyways, I reached the place. Lovely theatre. I got the cheapest ticket. 10 pounds, and entered. There was a handfull of people only attending the play. 10-15 people maximum. So we all sat at main area, anywhere we wanted. I sat at the 3rd line, very close to the stage. Amazing. Only for 10 pounds. The spectators were couple of journalists who work on the art section, who came to hang around, bringing their wives and kids. They didnt look like interested in theatre. 3 couples from the cinema institute, one of the guys was this kid who starred with Yoursa at one of the series. These 3 couples were holding hands, kissing, leaning aganist one another. Disgusting. One of them just kept kissing his girlfriend, playing in her hair until the show started. The girl for some reason looked back to find me looking at her. I was giving her a half sarcastic, half disgusted sharp look with a little opening of my mouth. She couldnt compete with my starring looks, so she turned her face and moved 1 inch away from her boyfriend. Anyways, this girl when leaving at the end of the show, looked to me face to face, eye to eye. I looked back to her back from under my glasses. 'What do you want?' she almost said with her eyes. 'What the hell are you trying to do.' I answered back. It was kinda funny this body language, silent looks. I like that. I wasnt happy with this kissing stuff. She is hardly 19 so was the other kid.
The show was good actually. Not as energetic as I thought it would be. Raghda was cool. I was expecting more actually from her. I love her agressive way of speaking, fiery eyes and spirit, her blunt style and controversial character. She was half all that. Maybe the spectators were annoying. She had to stop the show twice because of the noise, people going and coming, late comers..etc. T.E. I said to myself. I was furious. The family infront of me had 2 kids making lots of noise. I hit the seat hard with my feet during the show to make them shut up. Everyone looked, but I just didnt care. What the hell, cant you shut up and respect the actors.
For some reason, I think that the play was cut short. It lasted for hardly 1.30 hours. I left. It was nice breeze. I drove downtown. Looking beside me I saw Ayman nour in the car next to me. Black Mercedes. He was sitting next to the driver. He actually looked nice, although I hate his mouth and how he speaks. I looked to him. Gave him a thumb down for the old mubarak and moved. He stopped by his office while I continued. I didnt feel like going home, so decided to go get a pancake from al-azhar place. I went there. Parked illegal and got a sugar one, sat down ate while enjoing the nice breeze and empty streets. Everything was so quiet. Mubarak was actually giving his shit at the Azhar park couple of hours ago, so I guess people just stayed home because they knew there would be a traffic jam everywhere. I was lucky.
On my way home, Z. called. He was still at work. He actually stayed till almost 2 in the morning. The network was horrible for some reason, so we didnt hear one another. He sent me a msg with some news we were waiting for. Oh well. At least he sounds cool with everything. I tried calling him later, but he didnt answer. He was cooling off at the ahwa with M. Funny these guys. Their lives are revolved around: the match, a dirty ahwa somewhere downtown, work and fishing. Well, 'and the alternative is....?' was M.'s answer when I mumbled about what type of life is this this evening when he called me.
Oh well. What is the alternative? I dont know.
Ah, the business meeting went awesome. They were just impressed in a way that scared me, and thus had to ask them to take their time to make sure they understood what I was talking about, and if it met their requirement. I knew I was good, confident and precise. I have been preparing myself unconsciously for this meeting with this alone time theatre night I had , and later this morning when I sat at my office reading in this awesome book: origin of Islamic history, an assortment of long essay, I checked from the library last week. Actually, these are my rituals when I want to concentrate. So I realized.
Anyways, I waited for H. outside until he finished his part I could have just left, but I wanted to wait for him to say goodbye. He is leaving for vacation for a good 2 weeks. I will miss my buddy! No philisophical business talks for 2 weeks.
I went to the car. Turned on Buddha-Bar, Cold A/C and drove away.

Leave Mass praising God, not gossiping about others, pope says
VATICAN CITY — The final words at Mass — "Go in peace" — are an invitation to Christians to proclaim God's blessings through their lives, not an opportunity to go outside and speak ill of others, Pope Francis said.
Through the Eucharist, Jesus "enters in our hearts and in our flesh so that we may express in our lives the sacrament we received in faith," the pope said April 4 at his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square.
"But if we leave the church gossiping, saying, 'Look at this one, look at that one,' with a loose tongue, the Mass has not entered into my heart. Why? Because I am not able to live the Christian witness," he said. "Every time I leave Mass, I must leave better than when I entered, with more life, with greater strength, with a greater desire to give Christian witness."
An estimated 20,000 pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square dressed in bright ponchos and holding umbrellas to shield themselves from the cold rain.
After circling the square in his popemobile, the pope made his way to the stage, which was still adorned with flowers from the Easter celebrations.
Flowers, the pope said, are a symbol of the joy and happiness of Jesus' resurrection when "our justification blossomed, the holiness of the Church blossomed."
Wishing the faithful in the square a happy Easter, Pope Francis also had a special greeting for his predecessor, retired Pope Benedict XVI.
"I would like all of us to wish a Happy Easter to the former bishop of Rome, the beloved Pope Benedict, who is watching us on television. To Pope Benedict, let us all wish him a Happy Easter and give him a big applause," he said.
In the main talk, the pope focused on the closing rites of Mass, finishing a series of audience talks on the liturgy.
As the Mass ends, he said, "the commitment of Christian witness" begins at home, at work and any time a Christian interacts with others; the idea is to "become Eucharistic men and women."
"What does this mean?" the pope asked. "It means letting Christ act through our works: that his thoughts become our thoughts, his feelings become our feelings, his choices become our choices."
Departing from prepared remarks, Pope Francis said that by "mortifying our selfishness," Christians create a greater space for the Holy Spirit to act in their lives and "widen their souls" after receiving the Eucharist.
"Let your souls be widened! Not these narrow, closed, small, selfish souls. No! Great souls, big souls with great horizons," he said.
The fruits of the Eucharist, the pope added, are "destined to mature in daily life" and grow like a grain of wheat through "our good works, attitudes and becoming like Jesus."
In receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, Pope Francis said, men and women are called to "pass from the flesh of Christ to the flesh of our brothers and sisters," especially the poor where Jesus "awaits to be recognized, served, honored and loved by us."
"May our lives always be in bloom, like Easter, with the flowers of hope, of faith, of good works," he said. "May we always find the strength for this in the Eucharist, in our union with Jesus."

I hve always been able to quick save "Ctrl+S" but for some reason i can only "Save As" now...i think i might have hit something on my keyboard to disable the feature...does anyone have a clue how to reactivate it?
All keyboard shortcuts can be modified via menu EDIT->KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS. Ctrl+S is usually assigned to "Save", but be removed here.
Try to assign it again and see if it works.
It's normal for you to see the Save As dialog the first time you open a legacy file in a newer version of ID, or the first time you save a new file or a .idml/.inx file, or one created from a template (and even some files that come in on removeable media because they are marked Read Only), but if subsequent uses of Ctrl + S are bringing up the Save As dialog it's more likely a prefs problem than a problem with the shortcut set (but it never hurts to check, and that's the first thing I'd do). If it's not the shortcut, next step would be to replace the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

I have thrown myself into project after project this year. Sometimes I think I have the "why" figured out and then it changes.
1. I enjoy creating things.
2. It helps me forget about "things" that I can't control.
3. Lessens the guilt of watching TV if I am doing something.
4. I love the feeling of sharing with others.

Thank you for finding Sonya - ..she is a jewel. I am sure that there are many single dads who would be ever thankful for having been introduced to Nanny Poppinz TM . It was fortunate that my Realtor knew you and made the introduction or else I would still be fumbling through the process of finding competent, qualified and honest help to help manage and care for my daughter. The care taken to understand my specific needs, the advise based on your experience and, when a potential candidate was identified, the thorough background check, removes the fear of leaving my most valuable possession in the hands of a newcomer to the family. The selection process , together with the continued support, makes Nanny Poppinz TM invaluable. My circumstances are not unique - .there are many existing and soon-to-be single dads (or moms) who could use help and assistance to find the right Nanny/Housekeeper (I have designated Sonya as our Minder). Had my attorney been aware of your services, the transition to a single parent would have been a lot easier. I would strongly recommend that you approach the legal profession directly. Had I been able to present the court with a proven care management plan for my daughter, the legal process would have been less arduous for all, especially for my daughter - ..Thank you again - .I am spreading the word!
