Hey all!
Time for an update starting with yesterday afternoon:
I went to Urban Vision. And I was in the gym (two periods), art (one period), dinner (one period)(and I helped serve. Peaches. Peachy! haha), gym (one period), art (one period), and homework (about one and a half periods).
Then I went upstairs to the "studio" and got changed and then Lauren and I worked on the dance a little bit. The girls are dancing to "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns. I think it will be a very pretty dance.
The girls got there and we stretched and warmed up some and then started working on the dance. Annd that took us to the end of the class time. Then I went to dance, danced, fell down, almost fell down, and almost fell down again (my socks were not conducive to turns!). Annnnnnd then there was Modern. Which was much better. We worked on our dance (True Colors, Cindi Lauper). Annnd I drove home. And finished my blog (I let you in on a secret there =P). Took a shower and then went to sleeep.
Got up this morning, managed to get ready. Went to Spanish, got half a doughnut from Carrie (YUM!), annnnd we did Spanish. And it was good. Annnnnnnd then I did stuff? Ate lunch outside. Sat in on Mom's class. Came home. Did Geometry and listened to Dave Ramsey. And now here I am. Listening to my parent's conversation... occasionally adding something. (They're eating dinner. I'm a loser and am sitting in the living room. But I'll eat at Alpha.)
So that's all for my update, so on to NIPTO!
Hosea 10:1-15
1 Israel was a spreading vine;
he brought forth fruit for himself.
As his fruit increased,
he built more altars;
as his land prospered,
he adorned his sacred stones.
A'ight. God is still going over Israel's punishment. They were fruitful... for themselves. They did things for themselves. And they prospered.
2 Their heart is deceitful,
and now they must bear their guilt.
The LORD will demolish their altars
and destroy their sacred stones.
3 Then they will say, "We have no king
because we did not revere the LORD.
But even if we had a king,
what could he do for us?"
They were lying and deceitful. And because of that, they had to bear their guilt. God would destroy their alters and stones. And then they would say that they don't have a king because they didn't honor and revere God. Even if they had a king, what could he have done for them?
4 They make many promises,
take false oaths
and make agreements;
therefore lawsuits spring up
like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.
They made promises that they would break. And that would cause lawsuits to come up: "like poisonous weeds in a plowed field."
5 The people who live in Samaria fear
for the calf-idol of Beth Aven.
Its people will mourn over it,
and so will its idolatrous priests,
those who had rejoiced over its splendor,
because it is taken from them into exile.
6 It will be carried to Assyria
as tribute for the great king.
Ephraim will be disgraced;
Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.
7 Samaria and its king will float away
like a twig on the surface of the waters.
The people of Samaria lived in fear of Beth Aven's idols. Those who had rejoiced over the idol would mourn because it would be taken from them into exile. It would be carried away by another country as a tribute to a great king. The other cities would be ashamed of their idols and Samaria would float away, insignificant.
8 The high places of wickedness will be destroyed—
it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns and thistles will grow up
and cover their altars.
Then they will say to the mountains, "Cover us!"
and to the hills, "Fall on us!"
God tells them that their wicked places will be destroyed. Those places were the sin of Israel. The altars would be overgrown and would want to be covered.
9 "Since the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel,
and there you have remained.
Did not war overtake
the evildoers in Gibeah? 10 When I please, I will punish them;
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bonds for their double sin.
Israel sinned for a long time. And they stayed in their sin. War overtook the people who did evil. And when God wanted, he would punish them. Nations would be gathered against them and would take them and put them in bonds that were twice as bad as their sin.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke
on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
Judah must plow,
and Jacob must break up the ground.
Ephraim was routine. They liked what they did. So God put a yoke on their neck and drove them. Judah had to plow and Jacob broke the ground up.
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes
and showers righteousness on you.
God gives instruction here: sow righteousness for yourselves and reap the fruit of unfailing love. Break up your own ground. It's time to seek God. We seek him until he comes and showers his righteousness on us.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,
you have eaten the fruit of deception.
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
so that all your fortresses will be devastated—
as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.
So if you sow righteousness, you'll reap righteousness. If you plant wickedness, you reap evil... you eat the fruit of deception. Because they depended on their own strength and on their warriors, the battle would rise up against them and their fortresses would be destroyed.
15 Thus will it happen to you, O Bethel,
because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.
That was going to happen to Bethel. They were wicked to the max. Not in a good way either. When the day dawned the king of Israel would be destroyed.
Bummer, eh?
Well.... off to Alpha!
Have a gooood day! :)

Location and Directions
My experience at Fresno Surgical Hospital was awesome! The staff was very professional and compassionate. I had to stay the night and whenever I needed anything they were there. No waiting. My husband was able to stay in my room with me. Which was a great help since we live 2 hrs away. The room was very nice and clean. Thank you for making my stay comfortable and a great experience after surgery. (3 months ago)
Thanks to all the staff and Dr. Thaxter at FDH! Everyone was so nice and attentive too patients needs. My mom just had knee replacement surgery and everyone was so nice. We have been to other hospitals but this hospital gets a 5 starts. Very clean, check up on the patient every hour and staff are professionals. (2 months ago)
I visited Surgical Hospital Dec. 5th for an eye surgery by Dr. Mendoza. I had a previous "bad " experience at a different facility; so, was naturally nervous. Wow! What a wonderful experience. Every person I encountered from the moment I walked in the door was amazing. Receptionist and nurses were so friendly and considerate. And, of course, I simply adore Dr. Mendoza. Wish I could remember the anesthesia Dr. He spoke to me before the surgery and he was amazed at what I had to endure at the other facility. He promised me I would be relaxed and pain free during surgery. What an angel he proved to be. I really have to find his name so I can thank him. Everyone so extremely professional and empathetic. Facility was super clean and procedures were right on schedule. Thank you to every single person I was blessed to meet yesterday. I will be sharing my story with everyone I meet. Thank you for taking such good care of me (7 months ago)
Very limited on options with surgery for my 2 year old. Not helpful on future of my child teeth. The surgeon had no advice nor info to offer after surgery. Worst experience for my child. I regret coming here. What a shame. Update: while waiting for surgical procedure in the lobby numerous of parents were frustrated about the wait time for their child to be seen. (5 months ago)
My experience with Fresno Surgical Hospital was so, so, so great, so positive. My operation contacts were so kind, optimistic, honest. The anesthesiologist was wonderfully attuned to my needs and questions (he even returned to explain why my cardiologist insisted on two, more expensive to me and my insurance, stress tests hoops I had to jump through due to an abnormal EKG (from a different hospital, BTW) He went and found out why and came back to tell me why!!! The Cardiologist-- unaffiliated with the Surgery Center or my doctor, Dr. Aryan-- didn't even bother to explain it to me, he was dismissive. Dr. Aryan, his assistant Chris, P.A., and the best of all anesthesiologist were just perfect. My recovery room nurse (Callie, I think) was such a perfect person who knew EXACTLY what I was going through with pain. She brought me to the other side. Then the nurses, Marilyn, Nicole 1 and 2, the P.T. people, the aides were par excellence bar none. And THEN the kitchen staff were so knowledgeable and kind. I feel so lucky! (11 months ago)

Ugh, why can't they just pass me on this last class? I just have zero motivation at this point! On the one hand, it's only 8 weeks of my life. And the coursework isn't that demanding... at all. And I'm due for a good read on marriage anyways, so this class can take the place of that. And when it's over I'll be that much closer to baby. But seriously, can't they look at the grades I've gotten on the other Marriage classes I've already taken (A's) and just give it to me on credit? Sigh.
I know, I'm just being lazy. My advice, don't ever take a break from school. It's so much harder to get started again once you do! Or... I can just blame it on pregnancy brain!

We still have a day or two left of March and this is what has already come to pass.
As did our April/May blooming bulbs.
Beautiful huh?
I heard the reason the blooms didn't last, was that it was too hot for them. Makes sense really. Our April/May weather is usually in the 60's and maybe 70's. It's March, and it's already been in the 80's. Too hot for our cool weather blooming plants. So their flower was short lived.
I hope you got a glimpse of it while it did last though.

Hey family!!
This past week was a bitter sweet one. Elder King transferred to
Valpo (Valparaiso) yesterday. He was a great missionary and trainer
for me. I pray that he is able to follow the Spirit and continue to
bring people unto Christ. He was a great example to me and I will
forever thank him for that. My new companion is Elder Crist. Every
Chilean that meets him always says ¨¿Como Cristo? JAJAJAJA¨ It´s
hilarious. It means ¨like Christ? HAHAHAHA¨ He´s from Arizona, has 6
months left on the mission, and will be my trainer for the remaining 6
weeks of my training.
The branch is really loving here in Limarí. When Elder King said
his goodbyes to them, they were very sad for him but they kept
reassuring me that everything would be alright. That they would help
me. This past week was a big step for my Spanish. Suddenly I can
actually have full on conversation with the members and investigators!
Of course there are still some words that I need to ask about, but I
can get the gist (for the older generation. Gist means main message)
of what they are saying. They really have become family to me and I am
excited to spend Christmas and my birthday here with them. Don´t
worry, they aren´t replacing you all. Only adding to the family.
Patricia has a sure baptismal date now! The 15th of December. We
had a really spiritual lesson about ¨La Familia: Una Proclamación para
El Mundo¨. After reading the message, Patricia understood why she
needed to be baptized. To set an example for her children. She´s
known this whole time that she needs to be baptized, but she´s been
procrastinating the day. Now she´s fully ready. It´s sad that Elder
King won´t be here for her baptism, but she knows the amount of effort
he put in and that´s all that matters.
We received the news that hermanas (sister missionaries) will be
coming to Limarí next change! This means more work for the ward as
well as the elders this change. I realized that there are some areas
in our branch that we never visit, so this past week we made it a goal
to spend half a day in one of these areas to find new people. What a
great experience that was. I felt like one of the early apostles
going to a foreign land without a knowledge of what would happen. We
had no map. Nothing. But we were able to set 4 appointments and we
placed 3 Books of Mormons. We would have given more but we ran out.
It´s a good 30 minute walk to this area but it´s worth it. I have a
feeling that this area will become a prime working area in the next
change. Especially since there will be 4 missionaries working in
Limarí. President Káhnlein told us that there are going to be at least
one pair of hermanas in every zone. EVERY ZONE! That´s crazy sauce.
We have none right now and be the end of next change we will have 4
hermanas in the zone. The work force is growing rapidly. We will see
the results of the constant labor in the next few years. Grand
Today is our P-day because of transfers. I found out that every
first P-day of each change is on Tuesday due to the transfers being on
Monday. Yesterday was a sweet experience as well. I was slightly
nervous to have a new companion because he had no knowledge of the
area there for it was up to me to find the appointments and all that
jazz. I prayed continually throughout the day for comfort and
direction and The Lord heard my prayers. I felt that someone was
along side me directing me the whole time. It was amazing. Also I had
to talk alot more than usual yesterday, and I realized that I don´t
have to think in English before I speak anymore. Like I said early, I
can carry out a conversation in Spanish now! The Gift of Tongues is
the only way that I have been able learn and understand so rapidly.
The Lord is aware of my needs and I have faith that as I give all my
effort, He will help me along the way.
I still haven´t heard anything about how or when I´ll call on
Christmas. I should know all the details by the end of this week.
Congratulations on the cat Marsh and Rach!! I hope that he or she is
just as great as Vlad. If you want another cat just let me know. Or a
dog. I can pick one off the street here and send it to you. And that
goes for the whole family.
I continue to pray for all of you!
Elder Weidman The Great

8th Panagyaman Festival Schedule of Activities
1st PANAGYAMAN FUN RIDE
Flower Power!
December 2017
James Howell in his proverb said "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", this enabled the LGU Employees, PNP and BFP personnel to come out of their shell for a while and enjoyed the Floral themed year-end party of the LGU.
DILG confers SGLG to the LGU
November 2017

"I've been in the back, bitch, playing the sidekick/
Surprised they realized the size of my dick/
They blog and criticize the lines of my shit/
Straddle up on the iron, a load of you ride dick/"
Maaan. This track is ILL. Such a sick old school hip hop feel. I love the drums and the bassline in this. The combination of em both form a beat that give you no other choice but to nod your head. Well, for me at least. But as usual, the 3 elite emcees from the Strange Music label absolutely murder this beat. This track's off Ces Cru's upcoming album, "Constant Energy Struggles", and seems to act as a sign that they aren't fucking around by any means on this album. Check it folks!

Word to the wise: If you want a table at lunch at the Capital Bar, go early, like 11:30 a.m.
It was hard to tally all the familiar faces in the hotel at the noon hour today.
Pulaski County Republican Women, and Republican female legislators from afar, were gathering in a private room for a Christmas lunch with the likes of Tim Griffin and Bill Vickery. And was that Gilbert Baker headed in that direction, too? David Sanders and Stanley Reed strolled in just after I left, a spy reports.
The House leadership team -- Wills, Massanelli, Stovall, etc. -- made one of its frequent appearances.
A group of conservative Republicans lunched in the bar itself. Kim Hanke had to break away from a conversation with me to join his party for grace. He's still coy about future political plans. He's not ready to say, for example, if re-election to Saline Quorum Court is definitely in his plans for next year. I still think he'd like to run for lieutenant governor. I still think a Bill Halter race for U.S. Senate is the key to a lot of people's plans. Conservative Republicans bad want him to run, I can tell you that.
I also know this for a fact: Capital food is good. Wednesday is fried chicken day. It's crunchy good and comes with homemade potato salad and green beans. Seafood gumbo is good any day. They also fry oysters right here and serve them on the cottony po boy loaves from Leidenheimer's in New Orleans. The burger is about three fistfuls, a problem since most of us have only two. I'm a fan, you might have figured. Even if the Repubs had me outnumbered today.

A mobility scooter is a brilliant way to help provide independence and freedom for seniors and people with disabilities. A scooter can be a handy way to pop to the shops for a pint of milk or to catch up with friends for a cuppa.
All of the models supplied at Sync Living are battery operated and therefore are powered via electric. Speed can vary from 4mph to 8mph depending on your choice of model. As long as a mobility scooter is serviced annually they normally tend to have a good and reliable lifetime.
A mobility scooter are designed very similar to a car in regarding to functions they can move forward, reverse and many have indicators and lights. All have a simple dashboard with easy to understand controls.
Here are a few things to consider with purchasing a mobility scooter:
Would I like my scooter to be portable?
A number of "Boot Scooters" can be easily dismantled and popped into your car boot in under a minute. Most of the boot scooters available at Sync Living such as the Colibri, can dismantle into 5 easy to handle pieces which can easily fit into a car boot so you can take the scooter with you to the park or to the shops.
Do I need a road or pavement scooter?
Depending on where you live can impact on what type of mobility scooter you require. A roadworthy scooter such as the Comet Pro will be larger than a compact pavement scooter. A roadworthy scooter is legal to drive on the road whilst a boot scooter such as the such as a Colibri or a Pride Go Go Elite Traveller can't be driven on the road. Some people feel more confident on the pavement rather than the road.
Where am I going to store my scooter?
Storage is also important to consider. A scooter can be stored outside, although we would always recommend using a good waterproof cover and a secure locking device. However if you would rather store your scooter inside, consider your storage space. A larger mobility scooter could be better suited to a garage or garden shed whilst a boot scooter could be dismantled at home or easily stored in the porch.
What a size of a scooter is best for me?
Sync Living have a wide range of mobility scooters to accommodate everyones needs. Your weight might dictate the model of mobility scooter you can purchase such as the Maxima which will support up to 37.5 stone. Our mobility team can help you choose the best scooter for you.
Can I get a scooter with my budget?
Mobility Scooters start from £680. Consider the best value and quality scooter that suits your needs. Sync Living also offer a full range of finance packages.
Pop in for a cuppa
Our team can offer you or a family member advice on the best mobility scooter to suit your lifestyle and needs. If you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us and speak to Jim or William via 028 9074 5333 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Robert E. A. Lee, 87, the former executive secretary of Lutheran Film Associates, died Feb. 27 of cancer at his home in Long Island, N.Y., according to an announcement from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Lee was perhaps best known for his role as executive producer of "A Time for Burning," a civil rights film that was ultimately nominated for an Academy Award in the documentary category.
Fred Friendly, the former president of CBS News, called it the "best civil rights film ever made."
The film recounted an Omaha pastor's efforts to have 10 couples from his church reach out to 10 African American couples from all-black churches in the area. But the program created substantial divisions within the pastor's church and ultimately led him to resign.
The film was shown on PBS in 1966, and a New York Times critic called it "the most accomplished and sensitive hour of television this season."

Week 4
By week four I started off by looking into what are the difference's between fantasy monsters and Sci Fi and going into the comparisons. My main inspiration for my concept art is from an artist called Kekai Kotaki. After I started to look into more classical monsters such as dragons and researching into what different types there are. Also doing a study of what my monster could look like after taking inspiration from others concept art.

I love my Kindergartner
Today might have been the hardest day of my mothering experience. Today was Atley's first day of Kindergarten. And while he is only gone for 3 and 1/2 hours, the thought of him being old enough to be an elementary student is a little sad for me. It is the end of an era. I haven't even been inside of a public school since the day I quit teaching for his impending birth. Now I guess we have come full circle. He seems to have a great teacher and the class is small, so I am sure he is going to have a great experience. He told me it was way "more funner" than preschool. (Let's hope they work on his grammar) He even won an award for being respectful! Wow, where did that come from? Way to go Atley.
I was crying when we took him and then when I saw the picture of him walking with his daddy and making new friends I cried some more. I know it won't be long until he won't let us hold his hand while we walk him into the school building. But I also know how important this step is in his young life and how much fun he will have making new friends and learning new things. It was a bitter sweet day!

You were very brave! I think every mother sheds a tear or two when they send their child of to school. That will be next year for me with Karson. He looks so big and old in that hallway at school he fits right in. Way to go Atley on getting that award!

I'm not looking forward to that day, but I'm sure you did great. I think every mom is entitled to tears, especially when it is your first kid. Atley looks like he was having a good time. I'm sure he'll love it and have a great time!

You can downgrade to any earlier release on a standalone NetScaler appliance by using the CLI. Downgrading using the GUI is not supported.
Loss in configuration might occur when downgrading. You should compare the configurations before and after the downgrade, and then manually reenter any missing entries.
Follow the steps given below to downgrade a NetScaler standalone appliance running release 12.0 to an earlier release.
In this procedure, <release> and <releasenumber> represent the release version you are downgrading to, and <targetbuildnumber> represents the build number that you are downgrading to.
save config
cp ns.conf.NS<releasenumber> ns.conf
Note: ns.conf.NS<releasenumber> is the backup configuration file that is automatically created when the system software is upgraded from release version <releasenumber> to the current release version. There may be some loss in configuration when downgrading. After the appliance restarts, compare the configuration saved in step 3 with the running configuration, and make any adjustments for features and entities configured before the downgrade.

Affordable slices of heaven.
Ranch Pizza began as a delivery-only pop-up taking deep-dish pies to the beer bars of Division Street, where those thick-crust pizzas heavy-laden with meats and veg developed a cultish following of ever-fatter fans.
This year, food site the Daily Meal named two Portland pie spots as among the best 101 pies in America.
pie harder, baby doll pizza, travis miranda, portland pizza,
"We wanted to do a pie that was a little over the top."
"We're going to shove mini meatballs into the dough, hit it with some crazy sauce, slap on some brick cheese and top it with some calabrian chile peppers."
Why is deep-dish pizza en vogue? We debated it as we get ready for Pie Harder—WW's deep-dish pizza fest at Ecliptic Brewing on August 1.
Up in Detroit, where so many Sicilians settled, they bake their pizzas in square pans. The Motown version, which some call "Nonna style," is currently taking over the pizzaverse.
According to Lynch, the first location of Heart Pizza will open by Thanksgiving on Gaines Street in the Southwest Waterfront, next door to the new Southwest Waterfront location of Blue Star Donuts.
Multnomah Village's Tastebud is the best new restaurant deep Southwest has seen in a long time.

Gordian Knot. In my last entry I discussed complexity and perception. To many these topics are akin to the Gordian Knot, which if you know how to untie will give you skills and knowledge that will serve you well. I'm going to recommend two books that will help you to untie that knot:
- Turning Numbers Into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving. This book isn't as much about numbers as it is about how to think. In fact, numbers aren't introduced until chapter 27, which is exactly midway through the book. The author, Jonathan Koomey, skillfully leads you through the process of learning to think critically, probe, question and analyze. Along the way he helps you to develop a mindset and collection of tools and techniques, which prepare you for the second half of the book that does cover numbers and how to interpret them, transform them into knowledge, and use them to solve problems. This 221 page book is a masterpiece because it's clearly written, offers sage advice and contains easy to perform--yet powerful--exercises throughout. Unless you've mastered critical thinking and problem solving you'll ignore this book at your peril.
- Systems Thinking: Managing Chaos and Complexity (subtitled, A Platform for Designing Business Architecture) is to understanding complexity and perception that Turning Numbers Into Knowledge is to critical thinking skills. Like that book, this one has more to do with techniques and concepts than with what the title implies. To be sure, it does delve into designing business architectures, but the focus is on sorting through complexities and perceiving reality without filters. I'm going to share two examples that underscore this book's approach, and why I think it's one of the more important books one can read:
- Counter-intuitiveness in social dynamics is illustrated with a cause and effect diagram that clearly shows counterintuitive behavior in a welfare system. The diagram shows how a program designed to reduce the number of poor families can actually cause the opposite effect.
- A side story about a birth control project in India illustrates perceptual differences between and among cultures and deeply influenced my own perceptual awareness. The synopsis of this story is the foundation team who was trying to teach birth control gave an incentive in the form of a free transistor radio to anyone who attended their educational lectures. Despite their best efforts the birth rate remained at a steady average of 4.6 per family. This unchanging fact was a source of great dismay and perplexity to the team of Americans who were about to deem the project a failure. Fortunately they dug deeper into the causes and discovered that in India there are no retirement benefits, social security or unemployment benefits. The retirement system is based on three sons. It takes an average of 4.6 births to produce three sons, so the mystery was solved. This short story was used to reinforce a triad of factors that support decision making: cultural, emotional and rational. We tend to examine the rational, which represents only one third of what needs to be considered. The rest of this book contains the same deep insights throughout and gives you the tools and approach to untie that Gordian Knot.

How To Sing Better Tips To Learn How To Sing Better Today
How to Sing Hi. My name is Aaron from Superior SingingMethod and in this tutorial, I want to talk about how to sing. OK. How to sing, kind of a broad topic butI'm going to narrow it down. At the end of this, I want to give you a really good exercise,one of my favorite exercises that will get you a little farther down the road of actuallyhow to sing. But let's talk for a minute about how to sing. What does that even mean to learnhow to sing and sing betteré I break it down into sometimes three, sometimes four differentcategories but I will give you four right
now. Learning how to sing is learning the instructionpart. So right now, this is part of the instruction. I'm going to give you that vocal exercisebut just to give you a little bit of instruction about the voice and how it works and how singingworks because the more you know about the voice and how the voice works when it comesto singing, the more you can apply these techniques and concepts to singing and to the exercisethemselves to start shaping your voice the way you want it to be so you have the besttone, the most resonant, full kind of sound. You can hit the high notes, all that kindof stuff.
So instruction is the first part. The secondpart is then I guess kind of obvious is the exercises. You got to have the exercises becausethe exercises are just like the rest of your body. You need to work out, exercise to keepin shape and to be able to make your body do the things that you want it to be ableto do to have the flexibility and the strength to do what you want to do. Third one is systematic. Learning singingsystematically is really the way to go. The link below is I have an eightweek systematicprogram that you can check out at some point but I believe that systematic is the way togo because you learn the right thing at the
right time and you're not only systematicallydoing the exercises but you're also learning the things in the right order and doing thingsin the right amount of time and repeating there's a lot of repetition which leads meto the next one and that's just being consistent. Use the repetition to consistently build andbuild and build your voice. So those are kind of the four main thingsand just along the lines of that last one, the repetition is I know that's kind of thedifficult part, righté I think we live in a culture that we don't want to do thingsover and over and we don't want to like work really hard to get to things and I get thatand with these tutorials, my point and my goal
is get you singing as good as you could possiblysing as fast as possible for sure but it does take repetition and it takes time. As youdo the exercises, this one that I'm about to give you and other exercises of courseyou need a variety of exercises but this is a really good one. It's not just going to take once and you'regoing to sing better. You know that. Intuitively, you know you're not just going to get betterby, Oh, do this exercise for 10 minutes and I can sing better. But if you do it this consistentlyfor two or three days, a week, two weeks, those kinds of things, you will start it'snot like all of a sudden you will be like
the greatest thing in the world but you willnotice a marked improvement in your voice. You will see improvement and that will encourageyou to be more consistent and get more instructions. Do more exercises. Do the systematic thingand the consistency and repetition. So what I want to talk to you about today,the instructional part, and this is all instruction but the instruction part of the actual voiceand how it works. What I want to talk about is the larynx. This is one of the problemsthat most singers have is that when they go to sing high notes, what they're doing isthey're raising their larynx up. Maybe you do this as well. When I'm not paying attentionand I'm singing, sometimes I still even do
Collage Papers Palettes Collage Palette Magazine Selections
So, then the most standard option for doingcollage work, especially for beginners if you want to start with something more simplein order to get the hang of it, but also can achieve really beautiful effects. And a lotof pieces that I do tend to use a lot of color palette paper, which is what I consider thisto be. This is from an actual photography artist book, but it has some great possibilitieswithin the range of colors. In the backgrounds and patterns, which I'll get into more later.So you want to make sure that you have a nice little variety, you have some old magazinesthat you have next to you. Sometimes you might even want to use print. It just depends onwhat effect you're going for. So make sure
that you just have a nice variety at handthe whole time because as I'm working you'll see, I continue to kind of go back into bookswhen I'm looking for a specific type of pattern or I'm just wanting to be inspired by something.I always like to have a variety of things that I can look through while I'm trying toprocess what palette I'm working with next, or what colors I'm actually looking for.

Grand opening of Steffes new auction house brings curious buyers
By Grace King, Mt. Pleasant News
Out in the lot, Scott Steffes was elevated above the crowd, leaning out of the window of a Steffes Group auction truck with a microphone in hand chanting in rhythmic monotone, waiting for customers to place their bid.
It was the grand debut of the new location of Steffes Auction House on N. Iris St. in Mt. Pleasant on Thursday, Dec. 7. Owner of Steffes, Scott Steffes, was in town from North Dakota, and he said it was good to be in Mt. Pleasant on a day when they were expecting 1,500 people to place bids on their equipment. Ask any employee at Steffes and they will tell you that the most exciting aspect of the new location is that there is plenty of parking — room enough for 800 to be exact.
"It's been a long time coming," Steffes closing agent Steph Palmer said. "We're just really excited to get moved in. It's better for the customers, better parking and I think it will just flow better."
The move to the industrial park area of town from 605 E. Winfield Ave. has been a long time coming — three years to be exact, according to auctioneer and realtor Lynn Richard. The business has been growing since Richard started it about 37 years ago, later selling it to Steffes for what he said was one of the best decisions he's ever made.
The sale that first year was only a few thousand dollars, now it's in the millions, Richard boasted. Standing in front of the TVs where the live auction could be observed, Richard imagined the possibilities the new warehouse could create a year from now.
"What might be new next year would be an indoor auction with a big-screen TV," Richard said, something many of the buyers would have appreciated on Thursday with bitter wind making the morning feel like a bitter 5 degrees.
Chatting with one of his customers and longtime friend Rich Leicty, Richard said to him, "Oh, you probably came to the first sale we had 37 years ago."
Leicty admired the large warehouse where round tables were set up and the United Methodist Church of Mt. Union was selling a lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers and chili.
"It's unbelievable how beautiful the thing is," Leicty said. "People are really enjoying [the warm warehouse] right now with cold weather outside. Everything's lined up real neat out there, set up real excellent for the sale."
The rows were nice, with "clean Midwest farm equipment" lined up a quarter mile out into the fenced in lot, said Tim Meyer, vice president of Steffes Iowa Operations.
The chain-linked fence is an important improvement to the auction house. It ensures "nothing gets away," Richard said.
"We sold a tractor to North Dakota," Meyer updated Richard. "And that big red tractor is going to Canada," he said.
Inside the warehouse, two giant garage doors with viewing windows allowed customers to look out over the rows of equipment up for auction.
Although at almost 90 years old, Monroe Miller, of Kalona, said he wasn't planning on purchasing anything that day, he did come out to see everything that was going on.
"I don't need anything anymore," Miller said, adding that he was impressed with how well-organized the Steffes employees were in the new auction house.
Keeping warm inside the warehouse, Wade Troutman looked out the garage door windows onto the rows and rows of machinery being sold. "They've got a lot more room here," Troutman said. "It's not so crowded so people will be able to load up (the equipment they purchase) and stay out of the other people's way a lot easier."
Although the office area of the building isn't quite ready for the public's viewing, Steffes hopes to have it fully furnished within the next month. The building was constructed by Wiley Construction.

As Jim Hightower explains it, is that "the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans possess more net worth today than the bottom 90 percent of us combined. Worse, these privileged few and their political henchmen have structured a new economic 'normal' of long-term joblessness, low wages, no benefits or worker rights, miserly public services, and a steadily widening chasm between the rich and the rest of us." We must restore sanity to this nation.

I'd say a good place to break in to the industry with no experience and possibly a good place to count out your days to retirement until your 401k is vested and/or if you need benefits.
Too many to list, literally. In slack times you will not have enough to do, even though you may offer, you will not be cross-trained or be able to help co-monitor with a colleague. In busy times you will be asked to do the impossible, told firmly to simply 'do it' in so many words if you ask any question more than once, and be shown the door - immediately if you press the issue, later once you are no longer needed if you are not a 'team player'. By team player I mean be used and learn to play the game. As a valued PPD employee, you will be called upon to lie. Lie to the sites and investigators. Lie to the sponsors about the status of their trial and the feasibility of their monitoring plan and project oversight. Lie to your own manager when it comes to protesting workloads or project milestones sold by the sales team in bids and contracts that we all know cannot be met. Say nothing now - a change order will be added later when the predictable and preventable crisis hits. PPD optimizes profitability that way and can be a 'white knight' riding to the rescue of whatever problem has been created. Turnover is high enough in our industry that often staff at the client will not really know what went wrong and how to fix things long-term. That's because here every emphasis is on the short-term. Stock expectations every 3 months, both for the client companies as well as PPD. As a CRA you will be told that YOU, however, can only be evaluated once a year (that's the SOP, if it's often ignored). If you want a career and expect bonuses or a 'merit adjustment' (when conditions warrant that your salary is so low compared to industry average that you get a significant raise to bring you up to around 'market value' of the other major CROs at least). Seriously, people working here as CRAs should either be here to use the company to get needed experience or because maybe they are fortunate to be on a good team with professional colleagues they have a good working relationship with that they value. Those people are relatively happy, either too inexperienced to know any better, or experienced enough to know they can't really do much better anywhere else at the end of their career. For the majority in between, there are byzantine SOPs, bureaucracy upon bureaucracy to provide the illusion the bean-counters need you to see. Most of the billable time and profits at PPD derive from the monitoring - that's you if you are a CRA. They bill you out at more that twice - ouch, even 3 times your pay because they tell the clients you are getting close supervision, training, and oversight. In reality, you are on your own, and will either sink or swim based upon your own acumen. Succeed, and it's because you had a great team around you. Fail and you must not have had what it takes. There is a third course. Be lied to by your recruiter and HR about what to expect, your site load, your protocols, get hired, maybe relocate - know exactly what you are getting into - and find out nothing is what you were told, you have no protections at all, and you are down to the whims and caprices of your manager. Get along, and this can work, maybe even be good. Don't mesh or don't learn how to play the game and be a resource your boss can take credit for, and you are done before you start. Just don't burn bridges. Be smart. Everyone within the industry knows what PPD is, so you will only hurt yourself by being idealistic and bleating it like a lost lamb to anyone that will listen. Only confide in colleagues, and find your next position through them. The only good CRA job is one another CRA can tell you about and help you secure. I do know some people that are happy here; they have pretty low expectations, are good at what they do, and like their co-workers and are comfortable. PPD grants their 'managers' so much latitude Trump and Gandhi may have adjoining cubicles. Who you work for is often determined by drawing lots. As long as Trump makes the trains run on time, he's your problem. If you want Gandhi, set that up before you take the job, insist on it (you'll be told this can't be done and has never been done), and stick to your guns. If you are a good CRA, PPD needs you - you most definitely do not need them.
Advice to Management
This is a naïve proposition. No Advice. The mistake most reviewers make is assuming that their employer either needs or wants it. These are graduates of some of the top business schools in the country and managers with decades of experience. They know exactly what they are doing and things are going well - money is being made. If you didn't realize that you are just a small, replaceable cog in the machine designed to wear out and be discarded - you should now. IF you have an exit interview - some don't - you'll find most of the questions are about you - not them - and they may even ask you how you plan to pay them money back for 'training' or 'relocation'. Sound like a company that needs or values feedback? (you don't have to pay back anything, btw, you'll never hear from them again, and it won't go on your credit, it's just a tax write-off scam.)

The web-based onboarding/training process feels more interactive and beneficial that hours and hours of self-paced online readhing

I have worked for PPD for over 5 years as CRA. I used to like it but now everything changed. They were used to have a good training program. Systems and IT are good.
Upper management does not recognize people work, they limit promotions and they do not care about employees unhappiness. The workload is a lot and the mediocrity is getting higher and higher. there is a very high turnover rate within the company as people are underpaid, unhappy and overworked.
Advice to Management
change policy! look after the good employees instead of promoting the employees that do not deserve promotion!!!

Highly motivated team with very competent people in the local and global teams. Very good salary and flexible hours.
Frequent overtime and high workloads. The fact the this is a global corporation means that urgent items are sometimes delayed due to the high number of people who need to be involved.

Employee Training is great. LMS system is easy to use and there are always new trainings to jump in on.
Employee Advancement Opportunities
Salary increases and jumps with promotions are very low compared to industry: bottom 20%.
Travel is not very regionalized, even if they tell you it is. East Coast is everything from Chicago down to Louisiana and east. No north/south dividers. Will send you to Midwest or West Coast on a permanent site assignment without blinking.
Also, they're sending US employees overseas to train their replacements in Bulgaria and India. 2 months after training, the U.S. Employee receives a notice of job termination--we're an international company after all.
Advice to Management
It is obvious the company cares too much about the bottom line right now and not their employees. The private equity firm that owns PPD is looking for good numbers to be able to sell the company, and that's not doing any favors to the U.S. Employees.

The managers are very aware of the like of a traveling CRA and provide excellent support for the field CRA. The company tries to make sure that the CRA actually has a life beyond work. The have a bonus program for those who want to do more visits than the minimum per quarter. It is a really comfortable place to work.
I really can't think of any Cons. I often wish that I had never taken the offer from Quintiles.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Barisan Nasional will form the next Government as it has won more than half the parliamentary seats.
However, the coalition suffered some of the greatest defeats in its history. Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, in accepting the results, said this was clear proof of democracy at work in the country.
Among the results yesterday were:
The Barisan lost Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor,
PAS strengthened grip on Kelantan,
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting won in their seats,
Among ministers who lost their seats were Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin,
Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon lost to Dr P. Ramasamy in the Batu Kawan parliamentary seat.
seals: 12th General Elections Results: [PARLIMEN] BN-139 PAS-23 DAP-28 PKR-31. Opposition forms Government at 5 states, kedah,kelantan,penang,selangor and perak.
BN was denied 2/3 majority
This is how any government should be, rule without a 2/3 majority. This is healthy for the people and will make any party in the government work harder for the people. And will deny any misuse of power.

He carried his easel on his twisted back
And on his belt his other tack,
his canvas torn from the face of morning
and oils he bled from earth and crowns of thorn
He captured hearts and stole souls
Through blind eyes that burned like coals
He worked for pittance along side the Royal, capturing souls in pastels and oil.
He gave his labour for the price of wine
or the cost to cheaply dine
on eel and ale
along the banks of the canal.
He told his subjects lewd jokes
as he gently stroked
the canvas with a lovers grace to evoke there the essence of each face.
And on each canvas when he was done
he signed his name. On all but one,
for he claimed no credit for her
said she was instead Gods work.
And when he finished her portrait
He dashed his easel on the slate.
Broke his brushes across his knee
before stumbling blindly down the quay.
And never painted again they say,
just sat drunk beside the sea
Where he spoke to none of creed or race
of how he painted once an angels face.
When you achieve perfection you have nowhere left to go.

Also a Chicken Can Obtain Lasik Surgical procedureIf you make the effort to check out any of the message boards or chat rooms on the Internet about Lasik surgical procedure, you will certainly ask yourself just how anyone can get the nerve to set up a Lasik treatment, as well as why in the world they would certainly desire it. The numerous Lasik centers audio anywhere from impersonal to something much like Dr. Frankenstein's lab, and also the Lasik treatment itself seems, well, unique. It looks like the only individuals that would get Lasik are those with such negative vision that they can not get out of bed without their glasses on.
Well, let me provide you my story of just how I picked Lasik. For me, Lasik was not needed, however I figured would streamline my life. For these factors, Lasik looked extremely appealing.
The paragraph over may make you think I am a "macho guy" (hope so, believe so!), so why on earth would certainly I hesitate of a little Lasik scalpel? OK, technically Lasik does NOT make use of a scalpel however rather a "microkeratome blade", yet it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as part of the Lasik treatment. Nowadays Lasik medical professionals could get a laser to reduce the flap in the eye, which is more than a little much better than a sharp blade. Yet anyway, I had too many spills in my life to assume any sharp item nearing my eye was a great idea, even under the competent hands of a Lasik physician.
After talking with three (yes, three!) independent Lasik doctors, they each ensured me that a 28 year old guy in see here nearly perfect health (OK, I overemphasize a little bit) with modest nearsightedness was one of the very best prospects for an effective Lasik treatment. I determined to arrange my Lasik treatment with the one that had the most effective performance history, as well as coincidentally took one of the most time to clarify every little thing regarding Lasik to me.
The only odd thing I keep in mind about the Lasik treatment itself was a smell, something vaguely like hair burning. I am kind of pleased they really did not inform me to expect that before the Lasik procedure, I am not sure I would have gone in.
After a few years, I presume I was a nearly perfect Lasik client, as my eyes now have 20/20 vision and also have actually continued to be secure long after the Lasik procedure. I say that if you are a good additional info candidate for a Lasik vision adjustment procedure, get that teddy bear and go on in.
If you take the time to read any of the message boards or chat rooms on the Net about Lasik surgical procedure, you will certainly question exactly how anybody could obtain the nerve to set up a Lasik procedure, and also why on earth they would desire it. The different Lasik facilities sound anywhere from impersonal to something comparable to Dr. Monster's laboratory, as well as the Lasik treatment itself appears, well, surreal. OK, technically Lasik does NOT use a scalpel yet rather a "microkeratome blade", however it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as component of the Lasik procedure. I chose to arrange my Lasik treatment with the one that had the finest track record, and also coincidentally took the most time to clarify everything regarding Lasik to me.

Hello there,
I'm about to purchase a T07 and I'm wondering if there's a way to have this device turned on 24/7 even if the HDMI (TV) is turned off.Thanks - have a great day!
Ofcourse, there are 2 ways you can power the device:
With included power adapter, most recommended way, this way you can leave the device on and have the monitor off.
With TV USB power output, not recommended, this way if you shut down the monitor, the device shuts down too, not properly shutdown.

The Jewish community of Lod has existed, on and off, for thousands of years. In the 19th century a small Jewish community existed in, what was then called, Lydda.
Lod (Lydda), 1904
In 1921, the Arab riots compelled the last of its Jewish inhabitants to leave. Further attempts to reestablish the community during the British Mandate failed because of ensuing violence but after Israeli independence, Jews once again, were able to settle in Lod and Lod became a mixed Jewish and Arab city. Today, the local Jews have to constantly contend with local Arab violence. The situation doesn't seem to be changing any time soon.
