Hilary Duff has spent her afternoon getting told she is a great mother, by other mothers.
The 29-year-old star took son Luca to visit Santa Claus at The Grove in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday and was joined by ex Mike Comrie.
Making the visit truly a family affair, Hilary's sister Hayley and her daughter Ryan, 19 months, also came along.
While the day was meant to be all about telling Santa what the children wanted from Christmas, it became an exciting day for Hilary too.
While waiting in the long line for one of the most in demand guys in town, the Younger star said moms kept coming up to her and telling her that her kissing picture with Luca earlier this week was nothing to be worried about.
The star had been slammed by social media critics after she posted a snap of her and her four-year-old kissing on the lips while at Disneyland.

- Gigantic - My number one pick. This is a movie I've been looking forward to for a while. Zooey Deschanel and Paul Dano... I am sold.
- Breaking Upwards
- My Suicide
- White on Rice - I watched this trailer when it was release on Apple, it looks hilarious.
- The Exploding Girl
I didn't go through all the films that are playing, I made note of the ones that immediately caught my eye... and then narrowed that list down. Tell me what you plan to see!!
Love, Keiko.

Four-spotted Chaser at Foxes Bridge Colliery
I was at the same place again, hoping to get some photos of the Deer, but I couldn't get any. Still, I got this one, although I spotted it about 5 days gone, but not as good this one.

Hi Bob,ReplyDelete
I really glad I found your great blog. It's a treat reading it as I'm also a nature lover.
I've heard that the Forest of Dean should be an incredible place and judging from your photos that must be true!
Thanks. You are a wonderful person. Nobody has said that to me. Cheers......ReplyDelete

Last weekend was a great. Not only was I spiritually enriched by General Conference, but Chadsen & I got to spend time with friends who we haven't hung out with in a while: Caitlyn & Louie. These two are such crack-ups, as Chadsen would say. If you don't know them, then I recommend you do. :)
On top of feeling strengthened, humbled & having shared many laughs that weekend, I was touched by a sweet little soul that I reunited with: Maddox. Maddox is a part of Caitlyn's family and has been so for about five years if I remember correctly. He is so fun, so energetic, so obedient & loyal. Throughout the several hours that I spent with him, I could feel pure love emanating throughout this big guy from all the things he did. His sweetness and loyalty touched me. It doesn't help that I'm a dog lover, but boy did he make my soul feel bright.
This is Maddox :)
|That's Chadsen, holding his hand as he rests nearby.
|Silly Chadsen.
|As Louie kept tapping his forehead, Maddox kept blinking his eyes. Silly dog!
|"It feel gooooood!"
|Having a ball, playin catch! :)

Hello my name is Minh Trang Nguyen, I'm 18 and I come from Vietnam. This is my first year of university, also my first time living away from family. It's a bit overwhelming (actually a lot, not a bit) adapting to a brand new world, brand new life and new lifestyle and making new friends. I am not good at making friends, absolutely not. I was so nervous, I was so scared and I cried so much on my way to the airport. Anyway, I'm still alive.
Honestly, I'm quite a diffident one. I'm not sociable. I don't have many friends. I was never outstanding. Communicating is not my strength, and writing isn't, too. These things may sounds crazy while doing Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies but I have a feeling that I can do it because this is exactly what I want to do. I also interest in photography, history, movies and environment issues. What a shame but when writing this very first blog post, I couldn't get my head around WordPress. It's much harder to use than I thought and the Becoming Digital guide doesn't help much. Maybe I'll need a course about using technology products afterward.
It's 9.30am and this post should stop right here, otherwise I'll talk a lot of nonsense and my stomach wouldn't stop making weird noise. I'm here I'm ready for the next challenge. But first, I'm gonna have my breakfast.
See ya!

My mom taught me to be an artist
not by what she said, but by what she did.
Trained as a draftsman,
she could not get work in the 40s
due to sexual discrimination.
Marrying my dad shortly after the war
her life rapidly absorbed into being
the wife of an entrepreneur:
he was building a sheet metal business,
she was taking care of a growing family (three kids by 1955)
But all the while she was being the dutiful wife,
she also took art classes, was painting,
learned sculpture,
started designing jewelry and built a side business designing and selling gold and silver jewelry...
She fought the stereotype
of the hausfrau and the corporate appendage
to be her own person, and follow her own muse.
And now, at age 87 (as of next week)
she has a gallery showing in a Boston suburb of her latest 13 paintings, plus a selection of her other related work,
13 canvasses completed in the last 6 months or so
inspired by this, her first gallery showing in 15 years.
As an artist
she made choices in her life
to support her art
or bury her art
or subvert her art
but in the end she is an artist
and the art will come out
It is not a choice
It is who she is
Helping you see things differently
Helping you hear things differently
Helping you feel alive.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.

Deep Thoughts on the Weekend
Monday, July 25, 2011
Weekend Away!
The drive down 35 means time with Nonnie and Ogee, hanging out with Aunt Lauren and Uncle Dickie (we're still working on that one...), and this time it meant celebrating Aunt Lindsey's birthday!
Being in Austin means getting spoiled: both Harper and myself. Harper gets spoiled because, let's face it, we're hanging out at the grandparents, and they just can't get enough of her. But it also means I get spoiled because they love holding her and feeding her and changing her and babysitting her, so I just sit around and enjoy my coffee and read a book and hang out with Lauren. It's a win-win for us all.
The big event this weekend was Harper's first dip in the pool. I really debated whether or not we should get in, but in the end the blistering hot Austin weather won (and the fact that my afternoon out with Lauren got cut short because of stupid people). Fortunately, Bruce and Becky's neighbors were awesome and let us use their pool instead of having to take a dip in a public pool (which I wouldn't have done with her at this point).

This was our attempt at a photo shoot last week. I need to wait until one of her nap times (which I pretty much have at least 10 hours to choose from during the day) so I can pose her and catch that sweet sleeping face she sports. But seriously, Posh's kid has NOTHING on mine!!

This feels so strange to actually write a post on my own blog.
The last few weeks have been hectic to say the least. School breaks were always the time to have fun and to relax but obvious in university it's not the same. After a quick visit to London and then a panic of work overload I seem to have found myself rushing back to my uni town.
I always thought that I would prefer to be at home rather than in this strange place. But I guess it's a matter of preferences and I know where I concentrate better.
After starting the research into the blog for the uni project, I have seen that women have similar yet alternative views on relationships.
Turbulent relationships seem to have an effect on the behaviour the females have in their future relationships, and previous patterns are also being repeated.
Reading and finding out so much about the different ways that different women act in relationships has made me look at myself too. Patterns seem to be a thing that we girls just can't seem to break away from.
I'm not saying that all women are like this. But a majority seem to have had a change of views which have resulted from bad relationships.
I want to know how women actually feel about being in relationships and the behaviour patterns that they repeat. Help me to create my research portfolio and please take a look at my site and leave feedback on improvements that can be made.
After all you amazing readers and writers have inspired on the topic 🙂

Clube Peões da Caparica has been officially active since 7 December 2009. It was founded by a group of 12 people who gathered for the first time on 25 November 2009. The founders of the club aimed to fill the lack of sports offered in the community of Vila Nova de Caparica.
From the beginning, Clube Peões da Caparica had the support of Caparica School Group and of Almada City Council, who provided facilities for our headquarters in Primary School of Vila Nova de Caparica.
The Club seeks to develop, within its budget, sports, cultural, social and recreational activities that are intended to meet the desires of the members.
There are currently two active sections: Adventure and Culture, and Chess.

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Monday that Israel was representing the fight against terror and extremism in the Middle East by battling Hamas in Gaza.
Speaking at a press conference alongside European foreign ministers in Jerusalem, Livni vowed that Israel would "change the equation in the region," saying that the days of "Hamas firing rockets and Israel showing restraint" were over.
"When Israel is targeted it will retaliate," she said.
The foreign minister said the Middle East was being divided between moderates and extremists, and that "everyone in the region must choose a camp and choose where he belongs."
"What we are doing represents the battle in the region – the fight against extremism and terror," Livni declared, emphasizing that moderate leaders in the region understand Hamas's terrorist ties with Iran and Hizbullah.
Livni went on to say that she fully understood "the will of the international community to see a calm region," and that Israel, too, had the very same desire.
She said the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry were cooperating in order to facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid to the Strip, and to ease the bureaucracy in dealing with all the international humanitarian organizations.
"We are not trying to punish the [Gazan] population," she stressed. "We are trying to take all the necessary steps to avoid civilian casualties, but unfortunately, they [the terrorists] hide among civilians."
Later, addressing Israeli reporters, Livni said she did not see how international observers could help at this stage, and that Israel needed more time to complete the Gaza operation.
She also said she didn't want the military action to end in such a way that would give legitimacy to Hamas.
"We don't do deals with terror, we fight terror" added the foreign minister. "The moment we do deals with terror is the moment we can no longer conduct a real peace process."

I was curious recently about the number of people killed each year by firearms compared to the number killed by drunk drivers. I ran across the "Firearms Refresher Course" below. Although some of the observations are a bit snarky, I think they are all insightful.
I attempted to find the origin of this list, but I suspect the origin has long since been forgotten. You can easily find this posted on thousands of blogs, and I make no claim to authorship. Although I've owned a pistol for many years, I've never been outspoken about the 2nd Amendment. I repeat this here because I am pro-freedom, and I understand that without arms, the People cannot remain the ultimate sovereign power.
Be sure to complete the "Firearms Take Home Quiz" at the end of the Course. I do claim to have written that.
Firearms Refresher Course
1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
2. When you remove the people's right to keep and bear arms, you create subjects.
3. Free men do not need permission to keep and bear arms.
4. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.
5. You only have the rights for which you are willing to fight.
6. Guns only have two enemies: rust and politicians.
7. The 2nd Amendment is there in case the politicians ignore the others.
8. What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?
9. The Bill of Rights © 1791. All Rights Reserved.
10. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
11. The 2nd Amendment – the original homeland security.
12. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
13. Colt: The original point and click interface.
14. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
15. Criminals love gun control – it makes their jobs safer.
16. 9-1-1 – Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.
17. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?
18. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words and matches cause arson.
19. Assault is a behavior, not a device.
20. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
21. Enforce the gun control laws we already have; don't make more.
22. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
23. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.
24. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.
25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
Firearms Take Home Quiz
If people can't be trusted with guns, can they be trusted with self-government?
Is the Constitution a grant of rights from the government to the People, or is it a grant of limited authority from the People to the government?
What people will invade the United States of America if they know that in order to rule over us they first have to control millions of armed, freedom-loving Americans?
Drunk drivers with cars kill about as often as people with guns. Why aren't you required to pass a background check and wait 10 days before you can buy a drink?
Why does every instance, no matter where in the world it happens, of a crazed gunman shooting people receive national media coverage, but the thousands of instances of ordinary people defending themselves with guns are only found in the back pages of local newspapers if they are ever reported at all?
The government has been trying unsuccessfully for the last 75 years to eliminate the existence and use of illegal drugs. Given this track record, do you believe the government can successfully eliminate the existence and use of firearms? Explain your answer in detail.
How many times has someone gone on a killing rampage at a shooting range?
Name all the totalitarian regimes that allow their citizens to keep and bear arms?

I'm going to use pictures to illustrate the process (for those that may be unfamiliar with TSR):
With an Account
Without an account:
You will have another waiting screen (like when I downloaded the set)
I've included pictures showing what the downloads will look like in Chrome; I do not know how other browsers like Edge or Firefox will show you your downloaded files, but there should be something similar.
Also, the only difference for downloading between having an account and not having an account, is that when you have an account, you do not have a waiting period (and that waiting screen). The download will happen immediately.
So, downloading an entire set will result in a *.zip file and downloading an individual item will result in a *.package file on TSR.
You will need an application to extract files from archives - a *.zip file is one type of archive. There are also *.rar archives and *.7z archives.
I use both WinRar and 7Zip to extract files.
If you want to make certain your extracted files work, I would recommend 7Zip for extracting all the above types of archive files. It will extract *.zip and *.rar and *7z archive files.
Link to 7Zip download page: 7Zip
Link to WinRAR download page: WinRar
The TSR set and individual item that we're using as an example look like this after downloading:
The set has these files inside the *.zip archive file:
You will need to extract the *.package files from the *.zip archive file:
The application you use is your choice. Once the files are extracted from the set file, you will have individual package files.
Archived files MUST be extracted in order to use the files in your ts4 game.
Please let me know if you need further clarification on anything in this thread
If you would like a mini tutorial on how to use WinRAR or 7Zip. :D

You can take an additional step after "This is a set with __ creations - Click to view all". After you select the hyperlink another one will replace it with "Show larger view... of this set". If you select that it will allow a drop down of each individual item without having to load a whole new page. This way if you like 3 items in a set of 10 you can download from the drop-down rather going back and forth between pages.
The newest addition to the download options is "Install with TSR CC Manager". What that does is like how TS3 did it allowing a direct download to your mods folder. It creates a TSR folder in your mods folder so it never gets mixed up with your other mods.If it corrupts TSR will autofix when you download from them your next item. I found this out from personal experience when I accidentally bulk renamed my mods and did not remove the tsr folder. Speaking of, if you use this feature on TSR and bulk rename your files make sure to remove the tsr folder first.

Random Memory.
Also, years ago, I went to college in New Mexico near Albuquerque. It was an all Indian college, and it was my first time away from my family, and to say it was scary for me is an understatement. While I was there I met a girl, her name was Monica and she was the prettiest girl on campus. She had a boyfriend though, he lived off campus and he would come pick her up on the weekends. Monica and I got very close, fast. Yes, I was gay but there was something about her that caught my attention. She was sexy and fun, and so self confident. Like me, she didn't want to be another "Native cliche". She was determined to better herself. She was also Apache and she sure had a wild side. We flirted like crazy at first, and then later we would just stay up and talk for hours, often cuddling while we talked. We never "went there" but she was definitely ready if I ever wanted to make my move. Her and her boyfriend broke up and we started seeing each other, to this day I don't know if I'm the reason...they had problems way before I entered the picture. She always said I wasn't, because I kept telling her I didn't want to be the reason.
One Saturday after lunch we went back to our respective dorm rooms to take a nap. The night before, we had stayed up really late just talking and laughing. During my nap I had this dream where she and I were being chased by aliens. We were on the beach and they chased into a cave, they wanted to take her from me and I wouldn't let her go. We found an exit and all of sudden there was a bunch of hay there and it caught on fire and Monica screamed because our exit was blocked. I remember stopping and just looking at her and telling her, it'll be okay, I wasn't going to let them take her. I think finally after more running and dodging I just woke up.
I layed there on the bed and all I could think of was Monica but I couldn't move, the dream was so intense...not the details of what happened but the strength of the emotions I was feeling. Fear, strength, love, anger...so intense. After a few minutes there was a knock on my door, it was Monica. She was crying and I just hugged her, and told her it would be okay. I knew, I just felt it (wow, I'm kinda tearing up right now) that she had the same dream. She started telling me she had this dream and her and I were being chased by aliens, and they were trying to take her, and we found an exit but all of a sudden there was hay there and it caught on fire. After I finally calmed her down, we both described our dreams and they were exactly the same. Even the point where we both woke up was the same.
I told her about the Sea of Tranquility and she just cried. We both kinda knew we wouldn't be together, but now we would ALWAYS have that moment.
I left the school for various reasons a short time later, we did keep in touch for awhile after that. I'm not sure what happened but her tone changed after I left, I tried to be encouraging and supportive but last I heard I think she had eventually dropped out of school, moved back to the rez and had gotten pregnant. Although, I heard that from a girl who had a crush on me while I was there and was jealous of Monica. They were all jealous of Monica though, why she ever picked me I do not know. She remembers the first time she saw,haha. I started the semester late so when they took roll and I said "here", she didn't know who I was. She said remembers looking down the row to where I was sitting and seeing a handsome boy with the saddest, yet kindest eyes and she knew she needed to know me. She also said I looked scared! LOL, I probably did.
Not sure what brought that memory up today, but it's one of my favorites. ;) peace
p.s. I also dated a psycho Eskimo girl while I was there, that b*tch was crazy! But that is for another time.

Sweetie, thanks for sharing that memory. I can see why it's one of your favorites. You two obviously had a connection. Have you ever thought about trying to find her just to reconnect/see what she's doing. You two were close, and I bet she'd like to hear from you.ReplyDelete
Now, I am not going to lecture you (much) about that whole "why she ever picked me I do not know" stuff. I'll just say that of course a fabulous girl picked you. You're fabulous!
Now, I'm going to be looking for that post about the pyscho Eskimo girl. ;)
OMG I was all ahhhh then the end made me choke on my root beer. You must share psycho Eskimo girl story. Nice post. It's weird how memories seem to pop in our heads like that.ReplyDelete
@eyre I have thought about looking her up, but I like memory of her as she was back then. Does that make sense? I don't want to "lose" that by seeing what she's up to today. She was my first love. ;) peaceReplyDelete
@becullen LOL you have no idea, this chick was crazy! I'll post it soon. ;) peace

Hon, I understand. You want to keep that memory a good one, and finding her might change it somehow. Thanks for sharing your first love with us. *hugs*ReplyDelete

A businessman who donated £1.65m to the Labour Party is also a major trustee of a charity which has funded the Taxpayers' Alliance to the tune of over million pounds since 2008.
A businessman who donated £1.65m to the Labour Party is also a major trustee of a charity which has funded the Taxpayers' Alliance to the tune of over million pounds since 2008.
Shopping magnate John Mills recently gave Labour shares worth £1.6m in his shopping channel company JML – a more tax-efficient way of contributing to the party.
However according to the charity commission Mills is one of four trustees who sit on the Politics and Economics Research Trust, a charity which since 2008 has given £1.2m to the Taxpayers' Alliance.
The others trustees are Patrick Barbour, Peter Brown and Richard Smith.
Other donations made by the Politics and Economics Research Trust were to the New Culture Forum, a right-wing group formed to combat the so-called 'liberal establishment', and the Centre for Policy Studies, a think tank which promotes the privatisation of public services.
In 2008 the trust donated £265,000 to the Taxpayers' Alliance, £6,500 to the New Culture Forum and £5,000 to the Drivers' Alliance (a group set up to campaign against road pricing). In 2009 the trust donated £240,000 to the Taxpayers' Alliance, followed by £325,000 in 2010 and £395,000 in 2011.
Responding, John Mills told Left Foot Forward the following:
"The Politics and Economics Research Trust funds high quality publications from a number of campaign groups and think tanks, many of which I don't agree with politically. I have only ever voted in favour of research projects that I thought were worth doing in their own right, regardless of the policies they were designed to criticise.
"I passionately believe in a vibrant political debate outside Parliament and I have written for many groups from Civitas to the Economic Research Council to the Fabian Society. Encouraging policy debate is crucial, which I why I am happy to be a Trustee of a cross-party educational research charity."

Jobless people who have used up their state unemployment payments may be eligible for seven more weeks of checks under the federal emergency extension program approved by Congress early Tuesday.
The previous emergency extension expired Oct. 2, leaving people running out of state payments and still out of work unable to collect more. The new measure, which will provide as many as 13 weeks of extra benefits to an estimated million workers nationwide, is retroactive to Oct. 3 and runs until Feb. 3.
